This week had been more holiday-ish. At least I got to go out more often.

On Monday, my parents decided to accompany me to Ang Moh Kio Polyclinic to get a doctor to refer me to do a scope as my family doctor had instructed. It was a long wait but the doctor seemed to know very clearly what he was doing. So apparently, I can't eat oily, milky, spicy, acidic, and unhealthy foods, which somehow included chocolates and fruits (they are acidic). No fruit juice, coffee, tea, milo, and gassy drinks. Basically, I can only drink water. But I shall look at the bright side, because this experience will teach me to manage my diet, a skill I really need. After I recover, I shall control what I eat and go for protein-rich foods and stuffs. And I get to train myself to not drink coffee, appreciate non-exhausting activities (my stomach will hurt when I exercise), and I'll probably get used to it before I recover. So my next medical appointment is halfway through January, and only then will the final decision be made as to whether I get "scope" or not. In the meantime, I'm mostly a healthy person.

On Tuesday, I went to Guang Yi's house to play because I was bored and no one else was free. Brought games and played with his newly-bought PS3. Naruto-ed and played games like Prototype 2 and Resident Evil 6. Resident Evil has changed so much since the older installments, such as 1 or 2 or 3. I kind of miss those.

Wednesday
Went out with the mehmehs. This time, only Wei Jian was not there because he went to Bangkok. According to them, recently many people they know are going to Bangkok. I didn't agree yesterday, but I agree today because Yvette just came back from Bangkok too :/ But anyway, it's quite rare that even the legendary Wai Min came.

Wanted to have our dinner at Sauce Bar and they wanted to drink. I obviously can't because of my stomach, so I was just intending to have dinner there. But, the promotion we were all expecting them to have was for another day, so we changed to Secret Recipe instead. Had a healthy-enough meal, grilled chicken with mushroom sauce (it's the healthiest there is) along with Shepherd's pie. Apparently, Ru Wen was stuck playing Mahjong with her friends and ended up super late.

Watched The Hobbit after that. It was much nicer than I expected. I think it's better than Lord of The Rings. Surprised Guang Yi with a cake (his birthday was two weeks ago). Ru Wen, Wai Min, and Jt wanted to "walk around" in Avalon since Ru Wen hadn't been to a club and it's Lady's Night anyway, meaning they get to enter for free. They ended up drinking while the guys waited outside. They rushed out soon, and we rushed to take a rather fail group photo, before rushing to the MRT to catch the last train.

Thursday
Woke up early and headed to school early to meet Zhao Yi and Yvette to hang out before heading for the YMAC event to report. It's for our Total Journalism assignment. 5 of us in class had to cover an event, as in write an article about it. Chatted for a while and then headed to T1A to get our media tags from Ms Gamar (I feel like we are real reporters :D even though we're fake ones D:). Covering an event is pretty confusing. I feel lost 30% of the time. Luckily I know some people there, so I could "join in the fun". Zi Wei came shortly after.

Anyway, lots of familiar faces. Xun Quan was there too. He's in the organising committee. Xun Quan was my secondary 2 best friend, so it was quite interesting to see him there. In fact, I actually expected him to be there because I saw his face in the background of one of Matin's photos. Naturally, we caught up a bit.

So the event was about what the students taking part of the event want Singapore to become in 2030. It's a Youth-ASEAN thing in which they take part in the discussion of ASEAN issues and Singaporean issues. So, they did this "design thinking" kind of thing and then presented their discussion to Minister Lawrence Wong. There was this guy who was trying so hard to fake that "confident politician" accent -.-

They had a discussion forum in which people voiced their opinions on Singapore issues and policies. Issues like foreign workers (once again), polytechnic transport fees, and some others were brought up. People got agitated, especially that "confident politician accent" guy. Honestly, some were quite rude and kept questioning Mr Wong in a loud and rude manner. Some were calm and cool.

Anyway, back to the topic of my article, today is information overload. I'm probably going to be stuck for a while before any words come out :/

On a random note, today is the day when I finally get why my course lent us the iPad. It really helped tons in today's event. And on another random note, the game Wimp finally updated and there's a new world :D
