Sorry I haven't been able to blog.(Or maybe because I didn't bother to.)THe day before yesterday was Eath Hour. Me, my brother and his friends went to the Earth Hour Star Party. Basically, it was lecture after lecture, with breaks in between, from about 2p.m. to 5+p.m. After that, we took a bus from Republic Poly( where we were currently at) to Marine Parade, and then to East Coast Park. We had been in the bus for almost 1 and a half hours.
Before we went into the room for Lectures, we(me, my bro and his friends) didn't know where to go so we stayed outside the 7-11 store, occasionally going in to buy stuff. When we first went in, me and my bro bought 1 lollipop each and a box of Eclipse mints. After that, I went in again to buy a 375ml packet of Vitasoy(yes, it's my favourite drink.)and some Polo mints.Dunno why we like mints so much.
Anyway, at night, we went to McDonald's to have dinner. As usual, I bought a Fillet 'O' Fish without tartar sauce and filled it with ketchup instead. We made a mountain of fries and it was eaten up completely. My brother's friend, who is quite...erm...*Ahem* fat, bought
2 double cheese burgers.And he finished the first one in less than 1 minute.Oh yeah, and while we where eating, Earth Hour started and McDonald's closed most of their lights except a few which seemed to be impossible to close.
Anyway, after we ate dinner, we were going back to the beach when we saw this mini arcade. We went to play the game called...er..Mechatoreking, I think. You have to scoop the toys from the mini "toy river" with the thingy and drop it somewhere so the thingy that is going in and out can push the toys into the slot where you can take it. We played for like more than 45 mins to get 2 Nightmare Before Christmas toys, a few soft toys and a Luffy(from One Piece) figurine thingy.
After that, we went back to the beach and sat around doing nothing. We then went closer to the sea and sat down there. I wanted to at least get my feet wet so I sat down closer to the sea. My brother used his glow-stick(all of us got 1 free each) to make a line so when the seawater reached or crossed that line, he would go back. Then he stuck his glow-stick into the ground. I also made a line but if the seawater reached or crossed that line I would just move backwards.
After a while, a big wave came because of the boats moving and crossed bothe me and my brother's lines. My pants got wet. My brother decided to build something like a mini-trench to drain the water out while I decided to build a sand wall.
After a while, it became obvious to all of us that the tide was getting higher. I was getting 'desperate' and my sand wall became a sand lump.My bro's trnch was getting larger and deeper. One of my brother's friends came and joined in. He built his stuff
behind my brother's trench+wall(it had evolved into that by then.) so he wouldn't take the full brunt of the wave. Smart huh?
Soon, I gave up on my wall and just stood there barefooted enjoying the seawater. By then, the tide was so high(or maybe not) that even the smallest waves reached us. I decided to help my brother and his friend, who had joined forces, in building the trench+wall by bringing them dry sand. After some time, my father came to bring us back. I then realised it was already 11+ p.m. We left the wall there and it stood strong for a short time before it collapsed. We then went to the toilet to wash up.
PLEASE WAIT---TOILET BREAK IN PROGRESSSorry about that.
Well, after that, we went back home. We were sweating hard on the way to the car.What a fun day!
Yesterday was homework day. We did our homework.
BUT I STILL CAN'T THINK OF WHAT TO WRITE FOR THE COMPO COMPETITION THINGY!!! Xiong, Maplestoria and the others, you good, go arrow me to do this.
Wow. I can't believe I just typed such a long post. My longest post ever.As seen above, I even had to go to the toilet halfway. But, as Marco Polo said before he died, "I have not told half of what I saw." That's kinda true for this post. This is counted as cutting it short already.
