okok before ya all start thinking tt i'm some self-obsessed human being.
i hereby announce tt the previous post was written by my bestestestest fren. ARMSTRONG!
muahahhahahaha.
ok on to the next topic.
today was rather eventful.
not becuz i killed a butterfly.
well. tt was sumwhat traumatising for me.
yes butterflies may sound nice and pretty but they are still insects.
i do not like insects.
so i was in the toilet when i saw sumthing fluttering down.
i assumed tt my vision was blurred or sumthing den i blinked again.
den i saw this green fluttery(tt explains the fluttering) butterfly on my saxtion band!
it probably thot tt it(the saxtion band which happened to be green) was a leaf where it can safely camouflage itself.
being the kind soul tt i was, i moved my wrist a little to nudge it to fly AWAY but NOOOO, tt little green thing started crawling around den when it was gonna actually touch my skin i used the water hose to spray it.
it took me a while to realise tt the water current was too strong for a small weak butterfly to handle so it couldn't probably haf flown away.
so i looked around for it and saw it DEAD on the ground.
guilt sank in.
i was a murderer.
but after bathing i got over tt little episode and went back to watch desperate housewives.
so wad was tt eventful event u may ask(ok maybe u didn't but i'm still gonna tell u neway).
after school, benny wanted to bring me, hk and xw to go see his sch, CHUNG CHENG HIGH.
it juz so happens tt tkgs was very near tt place so we decided to head towards tk first to collect our O level's cert.
so we reached there and brought benny and xw around the sch compound.
they claimed our sch was big.
can i vomit?
den wee kiat arrived and we walked towards chong cheng.
the sch is magnificent.
the auditorium was huge and grand and stuff so were the other buildings(except the one where the band and choir room was in).
the lake was nice.
benny den brought us to the old, rundown building where the band room and choir room was.
it was freaky.
hk got freaked out(of cuz).
i felt like i was back in the 60s or 70s(not tt i know how it actually feels to be back then).
den we went to the second(or was it the third) level where the old bio labs were.
when we stepped out of the stairway, bats were flying above our heads.
yup. real live bats. quite cool eh. but they flew quite fast so i couldn't really see how big they were.
there were specimens of actually dead animals in jars. snakes, pig's fetus, centipedes and more snakes.
and also stuffed animals like eagles, bear cubs(no, i'm not kidding), orangutans, snakes and cats...
imagine tt. they were once alive.
being the "good" bio student tt i am, i was rather intrigued by all these.
though sum were kinda creepy i hafta admit.
i felt like i was in the red room(refer to "I'm The King Of The Castle" by Susan Hill).
we left chung cheng(i almost got knocked down by a car which lead the rest to think tt i was having suicidal thoughts) and since hk wanted to see how VS was like, we took a bus and headed towards VS.
it was around 6 and apparently the sch closes at 7pm so xw said we'd hafta hurry around.
xw and wk brought us around. went all the way up to the seventh storey(lifts were locked), i could haf died.
tiring like mad.
xw brought us to all the different classrooms and the assembly plaza.
like wad benny said, the architecture there was very nice.
den we were walking through the linkway and xw pointed to this opening at the side of the stairwell and said tt some pple resort to climbing out of tt space to get out of the building(since they promptly shut all shutters at 7pm) but he never had to try it.
so we walked and walked around. went to flight of stairs and to the hall... den we wanted to go back down to the first level to go to tt little circle thing above the pond.
den guess wad.
everything was shut!
there was no way we could haf gotten out.
technically there was one way left, but let's get to tt later shall we?
we went to the other staircases but they were shut too.
where's the caretaker when we need him?!
so we had no choice but to go to the stairwell where the opening tt xw mentioned was(it was almost one storey above ground).
the parapet was at chest level. so basically to get out, one has to lift oneself up onto the parapet, turn around till butt faces outwards(this part was kinda scary), hang on with ur hands while ur body hangs by the wall outside to minimise the distance from ur feet to the ground and let go.
not wanting to do tt, we asked xw to jump down first since he was the most agile person around and go get the caretaker.
he came back after a while, caretaker could not be found.
we had no other way out.
so we passed down our bags to xw, whom i envied so much as he was on the ground level already, and let benny go first.
HE MADE IT!
den hk's turn, took a little while to get on the parapet and turn to the right position to jump down from.
AND SHE MADE IT!
den it was my turn.
naturally, i had some trouble getting on the parapet. luckily i wasn't the last and weekiat was there to help me.
den i looked down. WOH... it was kinda high up. den slowly let one leg down to hang and den the other. so basically i was hanging onto the parapet with both hands only
when i made a little mental note to myself to lose all of them fats ASAP.
i let go. took a while to reach the ground den my feet hit the ground. and my legs became all wobbly. the impact was kinda shocking.
but i made it!
den finally, it was wee kiat's turn, after asking whether hk and i were ok and stuff cuz he became paranoid due to overload of happytreefriends thinking tt our arms were ripped off.
and HE MADE IT AS WELL!
so we headed towards the circular thingy above the pond(benny hadta leave already) and juz sat down there for a while.
den we took a bus to parkway for dinner.
according to wk, we're the JOW gang.
Jumping Off Wall gang.
-_-
headed to popular after dinner and headed home.
all that was enough excitement for a day.
