The hols

Holidays are boring. So boring in fact, that there's nothing particularly interesting to blog about.

I wrote that last year. This year is a lot different. My entire holidays have been packed with tonnes of things to do (though at times when there's nothing to do, it does get boring). Hmm, let me recap my holidays so far:

The first few days were nothing spectacular. Lazed around the house, read up a few interesting articles on Wikipedia, experimented with a few programs in the computer (ever wondered how they get the chipmunk version of a song?) and basically passed the time.

By Wednesday it got interesting. Our Division had a blood drive last Sunday, but before that we had to go around spreading the message. And the best way to do that is to stuff flyers in people's mailboxes. Around 9 in the morning, we gathered to go out and spread the flyers. Guo Shun and I were the only form 2's there, sadly. The rest were the form 4's.

Around 11 we embarked on our gruelling journey, stuffing flyers in mailboxes. Sophie and Siew Hui had to leave, so that left, if I'm correct: the two pitiful form 2 representatives, Grace and Grace, Isaac, Xue Er, Huey Ni and Daniel. I'll skip the details, it was a tedious job putting those flimsy, easy-to-bend (and get wet) flyers in people's mailboxes. Some people have weird mailboxes. We covered the DK area and part of DU.

The next day was the pretty much the same. We came earlier than before and a few people from yesterday couldn't make it, one of them being Guo Shun (dang). This time Justyn came to help out.

It was way more tedious than the day before. We covered the rest of the DU area and went over to TTDI, stopping by a petrol station on the way, where we ate our breakfast 'like homeless people' at the back of the store. I bought Oreo's! And chewing gum, which proved to be very useful when you're half dead from your lack of sleep.

It was long trip, with a lot experiences and things to say.
- Justyn owes me 10 bucks
- When you're dead tired, you act stupid. This applied to everyone in our group
- The dogs in TTDI are bigger than the ones in DU and DK. I wonder why.
- If you want to avoid unwanted flyers from innocent young people who are out spreading a noble message, get a big dog and short gate. Possible, hang the mailbox on the gate. If the spaces in the gates are especially large, consider that a bonus.

-When doing a tedious task, you may forget that you've been chewing the same piece of gum for 2 hours straight.
- Don't say the above message to people while chewing gum. It makes you look very disgusting.
- Nobody opens their mailboxes.

We ended the entire trip at a petrol station in TTDI, half dead and our legs aching. It was a painful journey, but worth it.

Oh well, I'm too lazy to continue. I'll continue later.

Happy Malaysia Day.
