Close Shave

Today has been a long long long day.. Started out in the morning.. where i woke up because my dad was getting ready for work and thank goodness he woke me up.. just as i was about to enter dreamland once more.. i gathered enough energy to call him before he went down the stairs.. and he came back.. i asked him for money to cut hair.. lol.. Yeah... yesterday ricky suddenly called me asking me to cut hair with him.. so i agreed. And for the entire morning.. i did nothing at all.. just played a little pool.. and lazed around.. ate something.. before i wore on my ej shirt and pants and headed to central.

I was 30mins late.. lol, and we headed to cut at D elements, where it was totally empty.. and i unluckily got that boss. the girly boss.. Lol.. the first time i cut there shi xiong got her and he was pissed with the way she cut her hair.. teck too.. when he cut his.. so i was really afraid she'd make mine a mess.. Well thankfully my hair's still okay.. though when the stylist styled me hair it made me look like an ah beng.. she told me about her hair cream thingy.. which was really appealing.. at 18 bucks.. finally something i can afford! And it had the apple smell.. oh my.. i wanted to buy it.. but i decided against it.. When i came out i looked so beng la.. lol.. i even had some men stare at me.. lol.. i hate coming out from the salon, because they style me hair to the extreme.. And i ate a quick meal before i headed to school.

On my way i saw robelle in school from far so i made my way in quickly.. alas! only to be caught by mr yeo.. he told me i had to ride with him since a cab can only take 4.. wa lauuu.. lol. So i had to squeeze into his front seat. lol, on our way out of school. i saw amanda and pals outside a the busstop.. i almost jumped out to address mummy..lol.. don't say.. i've been asked.. =''( haha..Well i guess he's okay.. although he's really lame and corny and all.. he's just got lots of stuff to tell.. Lol.. i left the storyboard at home so he drove me all the way home.. And i took some time to wash my hair.. haha.. then i came out again.. so we made our way to the dragon kiln..

Well mr yeo was really lame.. though he made me laugh.. he kept asking if i got any jap girl's number during the japanese visit.. then he shifted to how he paid angel 2k plus to teach us nothing.. then he scolded some f words.. Then asked me where would i want ej to go next year.. then he suggested korea.. then he asked me if i knew where the humanities department would be going next year.. i thought i knew... because mrs chow said.. so i answered new zealand.. he shocked me when he said no.. lol.. what he said after that was even more shocking.. he said, ''no, they're trying for Venice." I exploded.. ''VENICE!???!#%" lol.. being a quiet boy... you wouldn't see me doing that most of the time but VENICE!??%?!#?% WOW! lol.. so he told me to start studying my geog now and suck up to the teacher and all.. lol..

Then on our way, i asked, ''uhhhh mr yeo.. what do you think would happen to ej after the sec 4s(us) leave next year? " lol.. he laughed out loud.. haha, he told me he honestly didn't know.. okayy.. so he kinda knows ej probably won't get far.. Well we chatted about lots of stuff.. then he somehow got to miss huang and suddenly called me hesoon and laughed out loudly.. telling me they talked about me occasionally and she called me hesoon.. lol. how insulting! haha..

Driving for like sooo long.. my good friend dan yeo got lost.. he didn't even know where he was headed.. ''how hexun? should i go by this way or that way? " lol.. because we had to head to Ntu to fetch kenny the director.. and finally we did..

When we did reach the dragon kiln... it was kinda fun i guess.. it was raining and everyone felt comfortable and we were ready to do all sorts of stuff that headed our way.. so we had to introduce our project to the owner of the dragon kiln and stuff.. and when we did get started.. everyone was just busy doing everything.. Well i was in charge of cam 2.. the process of the firing of the dragon kiln.. and it was kinda fun.. especially when i almost died..When the firing started.. the owner was supposed to introduce the dragon kiln.. and kenny was supposed to use camera 1 to take him.. they headed INTO the dragon kiln.. and he continued speaking.. I followed..

Since young.. i've always thought fire was nothing.. especially the smoke.. i thought smoke was just small stuff.. well.. i thought wrong.. very very wrong..

Inside.. the whole place was filled with smoke.. the first few seconds were still okay.. i started taking.. it was kinda nice inside.. all smokey with yellow lights in a small cave.. when the smoke thickened in like 10s.. they were gouging my eyes out.. my eyes pained like hell.. and the smoke got into my lungs.. i know this feeling.. i was dying! lol.. i looked up, at the owner.. he was busy telling his story.. i turned at kenny. he was busy shooting like nothing happened.. What on earth? i runned out and almost couldn't make it.. lol.. when i came out everyone asked me why my eyes were so red.. i was crying already.. and i coughed.. my goodness.. what fun!

The filming process was quite okay.. although it was raining and all.. the interview might be screwed up as the sounds are screwed.. but we did go about doing stuff we needn't be told to do.. which was fun.. Filming the cracking fire and lots of stuff.. but this isn't the end.. its only the mock firing.. the actually hellfire would be next weekend.. while filming.. the worker chatted to me.. telling me what would happen if he closed all the wholes and left the kiln fired up for the night.. ooo.. i can imagine myself in it.. all the smoke.. the fire.. First i'd get knocked out within 2 mins.. then i'll lie there unconcious.. no pain.. just close to heaven.. before the roaring fire cackles nearer and nearer.. my body gets blacker.. it's enveloped in flame.. and long later.. dust and ashes.. i finally know how it is like to die in a burning house.. lol.

Anyway.. i had a great day..oh yes.. i've been talking about dragon kiln lately and no one knows what it is.. Well.. its just a long long cavey thingy shaped like a dragon made out of earth and bricks.. well that place is a pottery haven.. its just full of pots.. and when the pots are shaped.. they're put in there and the kiln is lit up.. The kiln lights for one day and one night and the worker tells me even the metal bars go all red.. The firing is to harden the pots.. so that's cool. and we're documenting that.

So it was good.. though fizzy was pissed that kenny started taking things into his own hands.. well.. i went kinda crazy.. as i passed the camera and video recorder to the guys.. i held the camera tripod.. and i couldn't resist it.. haha.. since young. i've always taken my tripod stand to be a machine gun.. plus there's the pulling thingy which is like the scout or attic's reloading thingy to expel the shell.. lol.. so i was playing with it like a machine gun and everyone kept making fun of me.. i told them i was a alien hunter on a mission to hunt aliens.. so fizzy told me she was alien.. but i shot her yet she wouldn't die.. so i had to use my plasma something something.. i forgot what i called it.. oh yes.. plasma blaster.. it's the one in the middle of the tripod.. i told her it was only for very powerful aliens.. but she still wouldn't die.. lol.. well okay.. i was kinda bored..

So anyway.. back inside.. widya was telling everyone how saggitaurius and gemini don't get along cause of her sister and stuff.. so i was silently hoping she was saggitaurius.. then fizzy was like, ''huh? you're talking about hexun ah?'' lol. then widya said no.. she asked me what sign i was i said saggitaurius.. lol.. then everyone started laughing.. cause they finally knew why i couldn't get along well with widya.. haha.. though maybe after this i could get along well with her even better..

Well after that mr yeo sent the guys out to the main road to take a cab.. while he fetched me, widya and kenny out.. he dropped kenny and the main road too and fetched us to upper thomson.. well i tell you.. if you ever get a chance to sit his car.. NEVER SIT IT! lol.. the thing is.. his driving follows his personality.. HE NEVER GETS THERE!!! he told us to look at the time.. 5:31, see what time we reach thomson.lol.. firsly we drove about.. then he headed to the fish farm to get some fish food.. then i also got off to look at some ewwwey crickets and humongous mealworms.. haha.. then we had some difficulty coming out again.. sigh..

Then he started talking about his connections.. friends who sell exotic animals like tigers and poison treefrogs.. then he told us he owned sting rays and he has four dogs.. lol.. okayy.. sigh.. i had an okay time.. although he drove us to this and that place and never got anywhere.. widya complained her bladder had reacher its peak.. so we drove to the petrol kiosk.

Sigh.. we talked about lots of stuff.. i forgot what.. about widya's family.. about dan's family.. wish i taped everything down.. lol.. and yeah.. i remember this conversation..

Dan Yeo: so hexun.. you got catch the monkeys at your house anot?
Me: no la! for what?
Dan Yeo: dunno.. so we can make a skull necklace with his skull?
Me: (nothing to say.. lame joke..)
Dan Yeo: hey hexun, have you ever talked to a monkey?
Me: yeah..
Dan Yeo: what did you say?
Me: normal stuff lor..




lol.. brainless stupid conversation.. haha..i sat back on the front seat.. wondering when on earth would we get home.. lol.. taking a turn here and there.. he asked how long it has been since 5:30.. i said not fair cause we went to the fish farm.. lol.. they he sort of told me off.. haha.. ''fish farm not counted la! Fish farm so fast! same road leh.. not counted! " what nonsense.. he went to the fish farm and got lost la..haha

When we were reaching.. he asked again,

Dan Yeo: how long did it take huh?
Widya: around 1 hour 15mins
Me: You forgot we went to the fish farm..
Dan Yeo: WOULD YOU DROP THE FISH FARM?!@%@#%^@!^ lol..


haha.. anyway.. he kept telling us he wanted to get suzuki swift.. i told him it wasn't worth it since last year suzuki swift came with a free psp.. hahaha.. lol... he almost hit me on my head.. haha.. but its really worth it! Buy a car and get a great gadget! If i'm him last year.. i would've bought a suzuki swift.. oh man! psp! That'll greatly enhance my collection.. my best handheld device being a gameboy colour.. lol.. haha

That was it.. we got to longhouse and i'm surprised they have good food there! hah.. i mean its right outside my house and its been there for like 5-6 years and i've only tried duckrice.. lol.. they have nice goreng pisang.. haha we shared too a plate of carrot cake.. haha.. then i walked home.. that was my rather entertaining day.. lots of lessons learnt.. most important being.. never let Dan Yeo drive you home.

Have a great holiday!
