Good Riddance (aka Time of your life) - Green Day

Today is the first Friday of August. Why am i mentioning this? It is because the first Friday of every month seems so special to me. I was born at 12:00 on Friday but it s actually counted as a Saturday :)
Monday was ominous. Every morning, before going to school, i play my guitar like for 5 minutes. Not exactly playing though, it s just an amateur plucking the string and finding the sound so interesting. Perhaps he plucked too hard that the string broke. Nevertheless, nothing really bad actually happened. Thank God!
The whole week has passed in excitement and surprise though i felt kinda tired and stressful. Hosting the Germans is perhaps the most prominent happening to me. They are very nice people and innocent. Yes, innocent because most of them are just 15 years old. I had a hard time communicating because they could not speak much English. Nevertheless, from this experience, i learned the power of sign language. I also managed to learn quite a bit of Germans from them like how to say "what s your name? where are you from? can u speak English? ...". Next time if i had a chance to go to Germany, i would not have been totally lost hahaha. Oh, before i forget to mention, they are really skillful footballer. Sadly, they are better than me :( but i will try harder (not to worry, i still have the whole life ahead). It is true that Germany is named the "panzer".
The emphasis of all this buddies busines is the trip to Sentosa. As a hosting buddy, i took them to Sentosa. Then, they decided they want to go on their own all over the island so i let them be. Nevertheless, i was afraid they would get lost so i followed them secretly (yes, i am such a stalker :( ). Funny, i myself got lost somewhere along the way and it was more than 2 hours before 5h30. I said to myself "Anyway i am lost, perhaps i should take this chance to explore Sentosa". So i went into Imbiah Trail. I followed the trail and arrived at a waterfall. I saw rock bed and i swear to God i dont know why i slept there for more than 1 hour. It was really windy and somemore, the birds were singing. By the time i woke up, it was 45 min till 5h30. I found my way out of the trial and i took a bus. The bus driver was really nice to show me how to get to my "meeting" point at Cable Car Station. I reached 5 mins early. Hahaha that was a nice day, isnt it?
Senior farewell is drawing near and i am to sing a song, maybe a few la. Feeling very sian, cos my singing is terrible but i will try my best. I will change the lyrics and make it meaningful so as the seniors will be touched by the lyrics, not disgusted by the melody (which will be terribly presented by me :() Looking forwards to all the fun and of course, all the touching moments, and obviously all the crying, but in the end, the only one thing we will remember is that our hearts always beat the same rythm of all loves we have shared.
For the last week, quite a number of my friends were sick and fortunately, none of them gets H1N1. The best i could do is to wish them well, pass them food (haha Travis), and chat to get them out of boredome of the quarantine area. "you got to stay healthy and dont feel sick", right after i told myself this, i suffered from a sore-throat. It still hurts now. Actually, it was yesterday that i told myself this.
I am wondering what to write now. Oh, hell how can i forget the National Day stuff? The performances at school was really awesome and i really feel thankful to all those who put in their effort to make such a good show. And there is a moment which i vaguely, no vividly remembered that i felt so strange, yet so happy. I think that was someone's eyes.
Suddenly, i remember a joke i had with Phong during June holiday. It goes like this:
"Phong put his key on the table. I looked at it and felt something strange about it. So i asked him "what key is this?" He answered me "It s a key". Hmm, hmm i seems to accept his answer but u see obviously he didnt answer my question and bingo, i realised something and i questioned him back "It s not a key, isnt it?". He asserted "It is". I told him "It s a monkey [mon-key]. Got it? hahaha, cos there is a monkey face printed on his key. Ok it s no joke, i am sorry. I am just being lame."
