separation, reparation

yes it's the last day of term, but what happened in school wasn't important. (but i jogged six rounds for pe.)

here's the plan. at 12.30pm, jeffrey leaves school and uses the map i drew him to get to donut factory while i go for maths make-up lesson. then at 1.20pm when the lesson finishes, i rush to donut factory so that jeffrey can rush back to school to donate blood while i queue in his place. then he'll rush back to donut factory after donating his blood and we'll buy 24+24=48 donuts!

well the plan was quite perfect, but not well-executed. firstly, ms koo ended ten minutes late! then jeffrey was whining in his sms about the queue 'moving very slowly' and being 'damn hungry and thirsty'. grr i was running everywhere to get everything. oh but i bought the godiva chocolixir again. then i realised that the map i drew for jeffrey (from memory) was quite accurate. omg chocolixir was so nice, and jeffrey liked it too!

had chippy's for lunch. probably put back all the weight that i had lost during pe lesson. then jeffrey left to donate blood in school. so, the queuing began and everything interesting happened. i was listening to the music from that cd shop once again. i also saw adrian pang walk past and a customer who brought a chair to sit while queuing. i actually made conversation with many people in the queue; once in a while i had to let some of them go before me because jeffrey took so long to come back.

basically, many of them knew me as the dumb rjc student who let everyone cut my queue. then one guy scared me by saying that jeffrey already pangsehed me, that he wouldn't come back anymore. hmph, and he said that the day before when he came, they didn't sell him what he wanted because production stopped when they ran out of dough. omg action was required. jeffrey was just on his way back because there was even a bloody queue at the blood donation. (no pun intended.)

ok, so i had to make friends with a lady in the queue, whom i let her cut my queue at first. turns out she was only buying 18 donuts, so i got her to help me buy 6 donuts, thereby increasing my buying limit! then, i bought 12 for myself and 12 for jeffrey. the wait for certain flavours was quite long, but jeffrey never came in time =( i requested that they let me wait at the shop for jeffrey to come and see if the flavours i picked were what he wanted. at first, one of them let me. then later, another said that i paid already and couldn't change the flavours anymore. so basically they got me out of the queue =(

in all, the 30 donuts took three hours (jeffrey contributed one, i contributed two). but one has to consider that technically, two people would have been queuing for those donuts, and so effectively, queuing time for those 30 donuts was six hours. so, each donut was worth twelve minutes.

omg jeffrey looked so white when he came back, as though they drew a lot of blood from him. and he was wearing a bandage with lots of cute smiley faces on it. he said they used a very big needle and poked quite deep into the vein. gordon would have flinched! we walked to das erzgebirge-haus upstairs to look at the handicrafts. oh my some of the new stuff there were so exquisite!

on the way back to school from bishan mrt, stephanie saw me with the donuts! omg what bad timing! reached back school at about 6pm. gordon was waiting all the while for his two donuts. grr. got a donut each for tamie and paul, but paul looked so expressionless when he ate it =( oh yes jeffrey was trying to scare needle-phobic gordon with the stories of his blood donation and succeeded. i shared one glazed and one double chocolate donut with jeffrey. omg so nice la. imma queue there more often.

gordon's gp lesson today was on the different denominations of christianity, fallacies, egregious solecisms, and pronunciations. we kept drilling jeffrey on pronouncing 'th' properly. then we ended near 9pm. of course, it was super dark outside again. dinner was at pastamania, and i shared my free carbonara with jeffrey. for some strange reason, he loved eating the grated parmesan cheese by itself, and he kept eating it!

sigh i spent like $31 today. not good - bad.

kaixiong happened to be on the same train as me on the way home. walked with him to the road crossing, where i used to walk about two years ago. oh can't wait for raywen to move over to twin regency. hope there could be mahjong sessions!

sometimes, you could eat so many donuts that even your fart smells of donuts.
