loo and behold

nothing beats the fun of a bishi bashi machine.

it has to be the dumbest, most hilarious game ever. the only thing worth visiting in the arcade.

dora and i went to the peace centre arcade today, where the same old lady that fum had charmed so long ago still resides. absolutely NOTHING in the arcade had changed, including its complete lack of customers.

before that we had had lunch with fifi, fum and grace, who decided to pass up on an opportunity to go to the arcade for CARD GAMES. sheesh.

oh well. that was today.

yesterday was completely average, so no comments.

ok maybe a few.

hip hop was fine, if a little weird. yanqing spent more time telling us to get the 'attitude' and correct facial expression than teaching new moves, but it was fun enough.

after that yz and i spent half an hour parked in front of the sink right outside the toilet because i had gotten some marker stains on my fingers and was desperately trying to scrub it off. yz was there simply to annoy me and comment on how disgusting my blue fingers looked.

but of course, there were advantages to guarding the toilet like that. you can observe the comings and goings and speculate

firstly, stone entered the toilet clearly marked 'ladies', which was much amusement to me and yz.

after he left, henry went into the same toilet.

doesnt ANYBODY regard the little piece of paper stuck in front of the toilet door at all?

emma came to watch at yz's request and they discussed her gender-changing surgery (which im still not sure is true or not).

before henry exitted the toilet, stone went back (must be diarrhea or something) entered the correct toilet this time and spent a really long period of time in there, to much speculation (constipation, abovementioned diarrhea, etc etc).

there was also a puzzling fact that i still dont understand. out of the dozens of ppl who went in the toilet, not one of them appeared to need to wash their hands because they didnt stop at the sink, nor did i hear any sounds of running water coming from inside the toilet.

after quite a long time, because i REALLY couldnt get the blue stain off my fingers, i used some surface-cleaning detergent. oh well, it said 'removes tough stains, gentle on hands' anyway.

thus ends toilet observations.

nothing much else interesting happened, i must say. dionne was really ecstatic because she got to try the multiple spinning thing properly with henry again, and apparently went 10-11 rounds? even yz was hyper, something to do with cheese i think.

and for once, tan min stayed till 10, and showed me the arm-twisting movements you're supposed to use to dislodge someone who's gripping your arm, and some interesting technics to break out of a stranglehold and stuff like that. it was quite painful, pretending to be her attacker so she could demonstrate the moves.

what ARE they teaching them in sjab?

argh i have to go to the treetop walk next tuesday. all thanks to the fat moo, who doesnt want to exercise alone and so drags the entire school along with her.

summer & winter
