Odac levels
yesterday went to wee pin's house for class outing. although only 9 ppl went, i suppose it was a great improvement from the 8 (and 2 ppl left halfway) ppl during the last class outing to rei min's house. at weeps house, they played bridge with ms teo while i played AOE3 on weeps com, its such an educational game, i even learnt that it sucks. ended up losing to the most powerful enemy of all - the lag. yep, the game perpetually hung during the epic battle between 2 ships. then when cynthia arrived, we watch 15, the show was -content censored, pls consult blogger for details-after lunch, we went to collect O' lvl HCL results (no i wasn't really trembling, it was just a joke). got an A2, although A1 would have been much better, but i shan't complain =)
after that went to wee pin's house to while time away when waiting for ODAC to start. went to eat fei1 fei1 wanton noodles and it really sucked, it was $2.50 and the noodles were so little, i think even fried rice got more noodles than it, my money really fei1 away.
then comes the highlight of the day, ODAC night hike! it was rather depressing at first though, my grp member edmund didn't come down for the night hike because he didn't do too well in his Os, its really quite sad to see ppl leave RJ when they so enthusiastically came here and even tried their best in ccas. grp 3 is the 2nd batch to move off, so we started playing heart attack, first time i played it with 14 ppl, imagine 14 ppl trying to put their hands on a single spot, definitely proves that solids can be compressed. when it was time to leave, everyone set out from sch to our first station macritchie in high spirits and pumped full of enthusiasm, movement as light as a feather. to keep ourselves from feeling bored, me yizhang and gayle did what we could, we talked cock. we chat about all kinds of things and cracked all kinds of lame jokes, it was pretty lame but at least we kept ourselves entertained =)
as we walked on, i felt a pain in my right foot building up (not those sores you feel at the base of your feet), so at the next rest point, i started punching my foot, hoping it'll feel better(weird eh?), and everyone was like O_O and it was a rather comical scene -
Person: "Why are you punching your feet?"
Me: "cause it hurts"
through the middle part of the hike, the pain on my foot is irritating and i kept complaining about it, i complained so much until i (this is not a typo) couldn't stand it, so i decided to stop complaining altogether about it (it suddenly occured to me that i'm probably not the only one suffering). wonder why i complain so much.
surprisingly, after such a long journey, we were still moving as light as feather, not surprisingly though, the wind was blowing us away from our destination. but we perserved and continued talking cock, it was a pretty good way to distract myself from the pain in my foot. it was quite interesting asking about ppl's lives and i even learnt that yizhang doesn't do anything besides eating and sleeping (a close resemblance to a certain pink and round animal). finally at mandai, we learnt the superheroes game, which was basically scissors paper stone or hai dai quan. i started playing with yizhang to distract myself from the pain that was slowly building up in my right foot, it was pretty lame and didn't really help much, then yizhang proposed a crazier game, it was scissors paper stone that involved the winner slapping the hand of the loser. the 2 of us was suddenly very hyper and really whooped each other, i kept saying it wasn't painful and yizhang just kept whacking harder and harder, until his palm also hurt, even though i lost a lot more rounds than him, i definitely made sure that i have my deserved revenge when i win. it then continued with a few more sadistic games which involved lots of physical pain. the games were great and i totally forgot about the pain in my right foot (probably cause the pain on my hand was worse)
but after the sadistic games, we got rather quiet and the 3 of us quietened down a lot, probably because everyone was tired and sleepy and at 3am in the morning with an irritating pain in my foot and strain on my calf from limping, i didn't really have much strength to talk. but one good thing about the pain was that it kept me wide awake O_O, i was alert 101% and kept alerting ppl of cars, branches, rocks, cement slabs, and even saved yizhang's life a few times by warning the half-asleep man of the obvious branches he was about to run into. but unlike me, yizhang was nearly a walking zombie, he even leaned on me and said "let me lean a while" and immediately getting up and asking me "what did i just say". really amazing how ppl can sleep walk and talk at the same time.
nearing the end (about 1h30mins from RJ) saoling had some knee problems and couldn't walk on, so sadly(yep, walking for 1h30mins with sore feet in soggy socks and shoes and muscle ache is happier) she had to go back on a car. quite a waste as she couldn't finish the hike after spending so much time and effort into it. my foot was really aching quite badly and i could feel my right calf hardening up, and i really felt like giving up, but with yizhang, gayle and my other grp members, i just felt that i could still endure longer (thanks guys ;) )
finally after 13hrs, we arrived back at RJC, just before we reached the stadium steps, we did the R-A-F-F-L-E-S cheer with me, yizhang and lawrence leading, but it was quite disappointing as we couldn't even hear the echo from our grp members, and can only hear the J2s echoing. quite sad to see this happen after we overcame the night hike, but i guess can't really blame them for being tired.
glad that i can finally get home and sleep, me weep, yiquan, yizhang and shaun went over to the RI gate to take bus home. as though a sleepless night with sore feet and numb muscles wasn't enough, the @#*%&(@*#&%( gates were $#(*&@(#*$& locked! we were like $*(@#&$(*@#&$ and i had to limp all the way back to the RJC main gate and limp all the way to the busstop. many thanks to wee pin for carrying my bag all the way =)
now i'm sitting at home resting my legs, i can proudly say that i'm really lame now with my sore feet, aching muscles and a painful foot. but theres nothing like home sweet home, and hope i can walk properly again by monday
