catch me if you can..

Ok, time now is 12pm and I'm sitting at home. Obviously I'm out of the challenge cos i haven been lucky enough in the lucky draw. Surprisingly, I aint feeling anything. Confused if i should be happy or sad? I was at ngee ann city 7am this morning to register for the challenge until 11am when the lucky draw started. And earlier on,I had to spent $30 at the doc's to prove that i was fit enough to attempt the challenge. Sometimes I think I'm ridiculously honest.

Let's go thru the whole thing. 7am at ngee ann city and there were heaps of people already. And I had to queue til 8 to register(yes, registration fee of $10 required). After registering, We had to wait aside for a new queue which start at 915. The lucky draw queue, in which u stick your hand into this box. There were ping pong balls inside. Blank ones means out. Numbered ones means u're in and you'll have to stick yr palm accordingly to the numbered palm print on the car. I already saw the pingpong ball in my hand was blank. Yet i still took it out of the box. I wondered what was I thinking. Queued from morning til 11plus to go home. The other time when I was so ridiculously honest was when I showed my MC at OBS, where I was sent home immediately via fast craft. But as much as I want to win the car, I have to admit I wasnt ready mentally. Maybe it was a sign from god. For me to catch up on my studies. For me to take a break. For me to have the experience so I can win next year.But this year's car is valued at $80,000, much higher than the previous years' cars $50,000 cos its a regional challenge! Or maybe I could've died from the challenge and not taking part in it, saved my life!
How optimistic huh?

Let's hope they have a more expensive car for next year. I was wondering what if all the numbered ping pong balls were picked by the people in front. Then how about the people at the back of the queue? What if the Queue ended and there're still numbered ping pongs in the box? Ok, whatever it is, it's none of my business now. Shall Move on.

Maybe I should organise a study challenge. Sit there study for 6 hours, rest 5mins. Last one sitting on the bench shall be rewarded with textbooks and examiner's reports. How does this sound?

OK, recent happenings were 'picnic under the stars' at botanic garden and editorial dinner. Which only me and Minghui brought home made food. The rest bought hokkien mee and carrot cake. Saddening. We rushed to finish the food for dono what reasons before we went on to play some games. I enjoyed lying on the grass, resting. Thinking about stuff, Looking at the clouds, trying to figure out what they resembled.

Editorial dinner at marche was fun and we bumped into Jiechao and Ben. I still meet new people whenever I go for edi outing, unbelievable right? We played some games. I was reminded of the game 'Werewolves'. I cant believe I totally forgot about this game and didn't taught this to 17!

Shall play it the next time we meet. HAHAH Meanwhile, I shall stick to my honda bike. Til I win a subaru car next year. I hope LOL
