20061014 - Saturdays..what a silly little day
Earworm! Fountains of Wayne - All Kinds of Time
Ahh, saturday. Here it comes again! End of another week! But i don't want next week to comeee. Midterms left right centre! cannot dodge! Had to wake up early early today, 8am, for a stinking math midterm on a Saturday! ON A SATURDAY. Wait..if you didn't manage to read the amount of frustration there...TEST ON A SATURDAY. Which crazy school has tests on saturdays? Owell, at least it went alright. So i'm crossing my fingers and hope for the best.Anyhows, yesterday was probably the first day i really really had fun. PURE UNADULTERATED JOY! Heh, visited a farm la. A REAL farm. Like, cows barns & tractors kinda farm. So yeah, i'm glad i ditched my date with my textbooks and followed some singaporeans up to Peden Farm. Really nice couple who opened the farm up to us, and many thanks to Weiyi who helped make it possible cos he knew the family and for preparing the food for us. Anyways, since i don't have a digicam, pamela got most of the pics in her camera and we'll wait for her to finish her tests on Sunday before she uploads them. Yeah, you heard/read me right, SHE HAS TESTS ON SUNDAY!
Yeah, the farm trip reminded me alot of smallville. 350 acres of land managed by the couple and a kid they get to help around. But the difference is, in smallville, the kid that helps around? well, he's Superman! I think i got some pics in my phone and i'll just put them up anyways. But its just a few of the nice land and some cute rabbits.
Anyways, the farm had cattle! and the few of us fed them corn cobs and they took it from our hands! They had very very long and slimy/slobbery tongues mind you. They were hugeee..i do not want to get trampled by cows. Somethin eugene and pamela were quite close to being victim to, after they wandered off into fields, when the sun was setting, to snap some pictures of the sunset. To get to the cows, we had to ride on some kinda extension to a truck. And our seats were boxed-shape hay. By the end of the feeding period, most of the hay was covered cow slobber so we had to flip them over before we could sit on them. I tihnk there were at least 25 cows surrounding the 8 of us. And definitely more of them somewhere else. At first, only a few brave cows came to get their corn..but after awhile, the rest warmed up to us and started zoning in for their corn. Had to leave after awhile before they started climbing all over us lookin for more corn cobs! Even then, the cows followed us alllll the way til the gates of the fence which kept them in.
First thing that greeted us was a hugeee dog. By huge, i mean H U G E. Accordin to the owner, it weighed 160 pounds! For us singaporeans, that's 72.5kg. IS THAT HUGE?! and he's only 4 years old. Prrfftt. Then there was this other small collie mixbreed i'm guessing, who wanted to play 'fetch' the whole time we were there. We chased geese, visited the barn which housed super cute rabbits and had those haystacks i was talkin bout earlier on the second floor (not really haystacks, but they were hay compressed into the shape of a box). Visited a lake within the farm @#&^!*@# and had a bbq eaten indoors cos it was cold outside. Had some good food and came back to the dorm happy and tireed, but knowing that i had to study for my math paper.
So guess what?! I did one sample paper and decided to take the night off. Hohoo.
Anyways was talkin to my JC classmate Andrew this morning and he helped me send my regards back to teachers in SA cos he went back to SA for the openhouse (which i heard from him...sucked HAHA sorry andrew). So being a nice guy, i'll mention him! Ohhh yeah and he sent me this video which was quite funny la.
Quite funny la hor? Anyways just found out today that Roger Federer has a cosmetics line!!! HAHA. TINA TAN ENG BENG (is that your chinese name? cos i think i heard stef say that before..or issit Beng Hwa?) ARE YOU READING THIS?! Click HERE for the link. Hoho..you learn somethin new everyday.
Time to take my well deserved beauty nap! Anyways, UNITED WON 3-1 TODAY! HOW BOUT THAT ALL YOU LIVERPUDLIANS OUT THERE!!!! (:
Anyways, i'll put more pics of the farm and people's faces when i get the pics.
