"For charity one mahhh!"

Hah, okay, I realize Peeled Garlic is becoming a bit of a Blog of Whines and Complaints.

I shall stop my griping about things now.

So lets move on to becoming a Blog That Is Like A Diary, shall we?


Right, first things first.

I got my hair straightened.

But that was like two months ago, so while I've gotten very much used to it now (and have in fact forgotten how a head full of messy, unruly hair feels like), I still get people telling me "You straightened your hair!"

Sometimes I'd forget I hadn't seen them for the past two months, and thought what they meant was that I had straightened it again.

(Hahah, it's almost like, it's only made official if you write it in your blog.)


What else?

I'm completely, utterly broke.

Had too many un-cheap meals for the past month, and when someone suggested Chili's last weekend, that was it. No more, I told myself.

So we went to Manhattan Fish Market instead, and even though that only costed me RM18 (without drinks, mind you), I had to borrow money from people. Embarrassing la.

I mean, SB said he had no money, he had only around RM15, but even he had more money than me.

Paige, now you know why I can only belanja you waffles.


What else?

I did my part for charity!

We stayed back and watched movies (for charity), we went to that Taylor's Charity Night (for charity), we sold fruit juices (for charity)!

(Which also contributed to my being broke.)

But I had fun!

But I gotta say, it was a bit weird during the Charity Night.

I mean, people were cheering like gila when Estranged came on, but when they started playing, it was almost like everyone just switched to silent mode.

When they started playing 'Itu Kamu', and the crowd was beckoned to sing to the chorus, I saw Anggit wanting so badly to sing along.

Unfortunately, it was very awkward because everyone was just sitting there, staring ahead.

But we got to have photos taken with Azwin Andy, which more than compensated for everything else!


Charity day was pretty fun.

And for something the class decided on at the last minute, we managed to raise a pretty good amount of money!

And for once, I put my camera to good use.

G10 people, hard at work.

Who knew manning a drinks stall could be such hard work, and would leave you feeling so ultra dirty, what with stray pieces of cut fruit here and there, and blender/juicers randomly getting at people.

Paige, with her pants rolled up. And her signature slippers.

Bananas bought for us by our mentor, Mr. Yap.

(I know, of all things available, he had to buy bananas?)

Speaking of Mr. Yap.

He got dunked and the dunking booth. And Paige was there to video him.

It was really funny, he was sitting there, pointing to all of us, then went, "You ah, minus one mark!"

He kept repeating that - "Minus one mark! Minus one mark!"





He found the video by searching his name at YouTube.

What person goes to YouTube and searches his/her own name?

Mr. Yap, evidently. And you have to, if you have a student like Paige, who takes photos/videos of people without them knowing, who has previously uploaded a video of you during a Chemistry class, trying to pronounce "algae".

("'Al-jee' or 'al-gay'?")

The messy aftermath.

The kind of mess that makes you want to quietly run away so other people who have to clean up wouldn't notice you weren't there to help out.

I didn't run away, obviously. I was there, taking the photo above.

Group shot!

Esther says we would really miss SAM once it's all over. I agree.

Oh, one more thing.

Dr. Santha being pie-ed!

People like Kah Chong would probably enjoy this, 'cause his class seems to really, really dislike her.

I wonder if those were protective goggles, of are they just her usual large, reflective glasses.

She bought apple juice from our stall. I know 'cause I was the one who made it for her.

Paige has got a very detailed post on the charity drive. Go there!

(Hahah, read the last paragraph, man. I'll nod my head to that!)



I dunno how to end this post, so I'll just say - bye!
