Altruistic

"I <3 Four-One, oh six."

I've changed my ambition- I want to be a Member of Parliament one day.

Yes, you've heard me.

Vote me for MP.

.
.
.

So, I had to go meet Mr Palmer at his constituency office.

Wa, sounds cool right?

I was, well, supposed to meet him during a "Meet-the-People" session, around 8pm. Thus, I set off at 7.40pm, knowing that I would reach there in only five minutes.

Well, better be early.

Okay, I was told by Mum to go to Block 123 to meet him. There, I was told to go to Block 193. THEN, Block 193 had no one there. Well, except a Kindergarten.

Something's wrong, so I went back to Block 123.

"Wait- are you VERY sure that Mr Palmer's there?"

"Let me give them a call," the clerk replied.

Uhh, yeah. It sounded VERY NOISY in the background.

So, I trudged back to the site (grudgingly, rawr) and hey, wouldja lookee that.

The session was held inside a kindergarten. So call me inflexible, impractical, blah. It was quite a sight seeing a grown man, about 6 feet tall, sitting in one of those tiny little... stools.

WE WERE GIANTS. GWARH!

I had to wait to meet him, though. One and a half hours of stoning.

"Excuse me, please take a number."

"Number?"

"Yes, you're here to see the MP, right?"

Walau, like doctor, sia.

Only that doctors take FAR LESS TIME attending to their patients.

I reached at approx. 8.10pm, and waited as my number (why was number 48 going before 42?!) arrived.

"It's because Mr Palmer wants to see you personally."

I'm not the patient type, and this explains why I kinda kicked up a fuss at about 9.20pm.

So, I enter his "office" at 9.25pm...

He knows me by name already, and we exchange greetings in front of his men, two of which I believe are terribly intimidated by my height. They never dare to look at me in the eye- Well, they had to raise their head to a seemlingly acute angle to talk to me, anyway. Snigger.

Ooookay. I put on my polite mask and proceed to conversate with Mr Palmer. What was it that was so important that he had to see me tonight?

"Do you have the forms with you for bursaries?"

"Handed them in, already."

"Oh, right right. So, how's the house?"

"Going pretty well, everything should be ready by next week or rather, sir."

"Good, good. Great to see that you're fine. How's your Mum?"

FREAKIN' INSANE.

"She's doing fine."

"Alright. So, call my men if you need any help, okay? We'll do our best to help."

Not that any of your men ever pick up the phone anyway...

"Okay, I'll do that."

"I'll pay your family a visit another day."

"Thank you."

"..."

"So that's it?"

"Yeah, thank you for coming down."

VSNLKnslaksnLKNDlknKBhgCGdfxDXjNMknj!11!!!!!!11!1

"Oh, okay. You're welcome."

jhJVHhTFytHkslnksSpFjaSBAbksBSBjvhGHSCGFgcfsC!1!!!!!11!!

Yeah, so I wasted 2 hours on this... "meet".

WTF.

Anywho, Xuan called up earlier on informing of 4/1's class chalet.

Aw, how much I missed 4/1.

I wasn't intending to go in the first place- Due to this STUPID meet the flubba-session. Still, I went back to Dom's house, changed, and set off to Aloha Loyang to spend the night there...

... Only to reach there at midnight, with a Hoegaarden in hand. What can I say, alcohol's a good companion.

2/2'04 was there, too! Watching the rest of the gang get together to do crazy things- It was refreshing.

Abel was as annoying as ever- But what a funster. All popping into rooms and doing crazy shiz.

The guys TRIED to play cards- Failed miserably though. Jia Hao would be playing Spongebob's theme song as poor, sick Joan tried to fall asleep.

Son blasted his rock-music and OH GAWD ALL THE REPLAYS OF MUTTONS.

Aaron played on Yixin's PSP, and man does he SUCK in Bleach. Damn loser still has my belt.

OEI AARON RETURN ME MY BELT... (and play GE!)

Outside, Wilbur and Ian were participating in bouts of NFS: Carbon while the poly kids like Sarah and Apple had to study for an upcoming test... the following day.

Apple's Apple (ha!) is cool though. So pretty.

Yeah, it was a very good break from all the shit-munging the past week.

I knocked out at 3AM, though.

Bah.

JiaHao did the nicest thing though, when he presented to me this card, on behalf of 4/1 of course, to cheer me up.

It was terribly sweet. :)

Bah, I <3 Four-One oh six.

Oh, and great chalet, Sarah.

Cheers.

Donovan did it again @ 10:14 AM
