The time now is 1.30 am, 16/5 Practical Time, 17/5 Real Time. In the past 24 hours, no, the past 18 hours only, I have witnessed the most interesting, most exciting and most incredible incident that ever happened in a Hall 2 karang guni. After that, life at the Esplanade was also unforgettable.
We started at 8 am and went through the usual karang guni procedure. As everyone knows, every karang guni contains some unusual, unexpected, unforgettable experiences. Freshie year first karang guni happened just after I met with a mega mishap, yet it healed the wound. Freshie year second karang guni ended with us tearing Lionel's underwear in broad daylight. Second year first karang guni gave us a few interesting FHM and spent Song Teck and my roommie Kai Leong a whole night unpacking the stores. Second year second karang guni gave us one motherfucker bastard son of a motherfucker who shouted first at Zhengwen and I first through the shower, then at us directly, then at his son. Third year first karang guni set a record for the most plastic bags "torn on purpose", hope you all get what I mean.
I was just wondering why is it that this karang guni nothing happened, when Wendy and Shulin started saying that four people have been stuck in the lift.
All I can say, after hearing the whole story, is that I would love to be one of those stuck in the lift. Seriously. It would have been a ride of a lifetime.
The maintainence staff eventually rescued them by pulling the lift upwards until the next landing.
After this, I hurried back to Hall to wash, change, make my hair, and proceed down to padang, partly to help Song Teck, partly, well, admittedly, to see how X is doing. (For those who dunno, the real name of the person referred to as X is not important. Suffice to know that X is one of my teammates in the Arts Festival event. For those who are with me in the arts festival, it should be clear that nobody in the whole team has a name starting with X, this code name X is purely ficticious, but, those who are in the team, by now you all should know who X is.)
I arrived at Esplanade, thinking that today I would just be purely an audience and not a staff, though I would of course help, should Song Teck need more reinforcements. After a one and a half hour journey however, I arrived at Esplanade, only to find myself in the middle of a dangerous looking lightning storm.
I raced to the tent, taking stops at bus stops. Obviously, I needed the shelter of the tent after all, and it was fortunate that I brought my pass. X and her partner Y arrived after a while, and they spoke of being hungry. I waited and thought for a while, then decided to do what I intended to do. It was Operation Watermelon all over again. Without a word, I took an umbrella and walked out of the tent, toward the MRT entrance. On the way, I messaged X.
Xiaolongnu to X: Mcdonalds ok with u? Help me ask Y and whoever havent eaten.
X to Xiaolongnu: No thanks! We're good :D
I know the truth was that she did not want to trouble me.
Xiaolongnu to X: Ok. Anyway i bought some nuggets to share. So if u all hungry later just take.
X to Xiaolongnu: Thanks!
Xiaolongnu to X: This is called welfare. (: Welcome to Hall life. Hope u are not dripping wet out there...
End.
I did it right, I think.
