HAPPY EASTER, Y'ALL :)
& Happy Feast day to my parish! haha.
Holy Week's over in the blink of an eye and soon, my dreaded exams are gonna be here.
My week was pretty much a self-proclaimed 'slack week' before next week when I'm gonna travel to NYP & SIM libraries to study with my uni mates.
So, Monday was my last day of school and the thunderstorm in the morning was honestly one of the worst storms I've ever experienced. I usually sleep through storms but this, this, was terrifying. Was woken up by Dwayne shutting our room windows and him walking 'round the house, probably making sure my dad's photo frames weren't gonna be blown down by the wind.
My gosh, I couldn't even stick my head out of the window, and I was shivering so badly. haha. I went over to check on my granny and almost everything near the window was wet! And I wondered how she slept through the whole thing!
The worst part was when water started seeping in from my main
door cause the corridor was flooded, ankle-deep! :O

It was so tempting to splash around outside, but snuggling in bed with my Disney cushions and stuffy toys sounded way better :) Anyway, as I was trying to fall back to bed, I saw tweets from Zul & Joey about getting drenched even before they got to school and it was like, 7AM? I started getting suspicious that I might have an 8.30AM lesson that wasn't in my timetable. So I texted Tilly & Allie, but I fell asleep even before they could reply. AND I MISSED AN 8.30 CLASS! HAHAHA.
NYDC-ed in Holland V after school and gymmed with Brendan in the afternoon and went to Upper Thomson with Joanne at night so yeahhh, a Monday well spent. ('cept for missing the 8.30 lecture!)
Tuesday, was FREE CONE DAY ! :D
My very first time going for B&J's free cone. It was an epic turn of events, when what was supposed to be a small group of churchies having a fish & chips for lunch & ice cream after turned into a big and unusual group of churchies and travelling all around town in search for the shortest B&J queue.
Lunch was at Manhattan Fish Market with Aloysius, Brendan, Willy, Mitch, Lucas, Marc, Moses, Edward, Rayne, Lionel & I.
After lunch, we decided to head to The Cathay for ice cream.The queue was freaking insane, I swear; it was almost as long as queues in USS/Disneyland.
We decided to leave after queuing for 15 minutes and try our luck at Great World. A few of them wanted to play games at *Scape but some of us wanted ice cream! So we split from there and went our own ways.
GWC's B&J's queue was delightfully short! :D
I should've taken photos :( oh well.
Anyways, Ethelbert bumped into us and joined us for his 2nd round.
We started queuing again immediately after getting our first cone. hahaha. omg.
I know it really does sound v cheapo and typically Singaporean queuing up for freebies but hey, it was the time spent with them that mattered the most.
I'm happy my first Free Cone Day experience was with the important churchies :)
Headed to Mink on Wednesday night with Josh, Axel & Jo, but the afternoon was spent at his place watching Grave Encounters. Stupid, scary movie. I think I'm still paranoid. I can't imagine watching it at night and as I'm typing this, I'm afraid to even turn around. HAHAHA.
Maundy Thursday was a pretty lazy afternoon but I went for mass at 6PM with Jess. My family was seated somewhere else 'cause we were a tiny bit late. After mass was church visitation with YC and I really couldn't survive on hot cross buns so I bought macs for Dwayne, Brendan & I.
St Peter's & Paul's church was the first stop, followed by the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd and lastly, St Joseph (Bukit Timah). We did Stations in St Jo and said the Rosary in the bus. It was a pretty well-spent Thursday with YC :)
Jeremy, Dwayne & I went to Bryan's place after visitations to hang around with Brendan.
Sent this on purpose to Bryan. haha. Miss you, my dear! I didn't bounce on your bed though I did lie on it! haha.
I slept til 2ish on Good Friday. HEHE. My parents were asleep til 3PM. I had to wake them up. hahaha. Went for Stations and mass at 5 and I almost died of gastric attack during mass :( I went out to down a can of Coke (IT HELPS OKAYYY) before getting back just on time for Communion. haha.
Met Josh & friends in town after mass and we headed to Zouk at 7.55PM.
Apparently, Afrojack was the guest DJ that night but I totally have no idea who he is!
Anyways, the night was pretty blurry to me after 1ish.
Drinking on an empty stomach was seriously a bad idea.
I couldn't believe the decision I made to enter the club for a ridiculous price. PFFT.
So, I was standing outside Zouk, when someone came over with an, "Ariel?".
OH.MY.GOD. NATE! I haven't seen him in ages. Who knew he intro-ed me as his 'best friend' to his friend standing next to him. Was I really, now?
Strange things tend to happen when you're under the influence of alcohol. But for some reason, I believed that. He was, probably still is, one of my best friends from poly.
Pretty concerned as ever, he questioned me about Josh and my answer is gonna be a forever, "I don't know. I really don't know."
Anyway, it was better we left before shit happened. I was totally expecting something bad to happen.
Saturday was another lazy afternoon :) Accompanied my parents for breakfast, got home and slept.
Easter Vigil with the family at night. I love how everybody knows everybody in church.
Perry, Charm & gang were in front of us and Gerald & Xavier were behind us. haha.
Mass was really v long and I was super hungry by the time mass ended.
Dinner was at Macs with my family.
Something really touched me when we saw the whole lot of Altar servers walking past Macs and we waved at some of them but Aloysius & Eugene turned back and came into Macs just to wish us 'happy Easter' and hugged us. I really didn't expect that :) well, YOU TWO made my night.
And finally, today's Easter Sunday :) Met Josh again at J8 for The Hunger Games and lunch. Okay, I had lunch. He just sat there playing Bejeweled NON-STOP. I don't think we can break our highscore anytime, m'friend. hahaha.
He had to go home and get ready to book in, so I called Jeremy and discovered that they just finished watching a movie in J8 too. haha.
I joined them at Yoshinoya and Cheryl was telling me all about her love situation.
Sigh, if only I could help her in some way. But I guess just listening to her was enough for now. haha.
Anyways, Aloysius, Jeremy, Perry, Seb & I headed to Scoopz at Upper Thomson for dessert. haha damn the ice cream there was pretty terrible. haha. But we ended up playing '99' while waiting for Jon Saw to come and bring us to another ice cream cafe which sells, erm, vegetarian ice cream. I'd like to think it's organic ice cream. hahaha.
Aloy & Jeremy accompanied me at Meng's for dinner. OMG, I need a membership/loyalty card for that place. haha so does Joanne. Jon came at 10PM and brought us to Brownice where we had a second round of ice cream. yup, go for dark choc there guys. French choc had a weird watery aftertaste.
We play many rounds of '99' and we left around 11ish :)
Alright, so that concludes my weekend :) How often do I type this much. hahaha:O With that said, it's time to start filling my blog with more pictures/photos huh. haha. Time to whip out the camera soon :)
alrightyroo, kangaroo. Goodnight, now.
Looking forward for this week's study sess' in NYP with Tilly, Hsinny, Allie and Wan Nee.
