The college server has been an annoying crawling slow lately. Can't even get to Google sometimes. Argh. Blogging has been almost impossible in the past week.

The events of Wednesday to Friday, summed up in one word, was 'hectic'... all in preparation for SingSoc's Seniors' Farewell Party.
Dance practise on Weds. Thursday night... ooo... that night was fun. The comm gathered at Sainsbury's after dinner to do our grocery shopping for the BBQ (or barbie... whatever), and we ended up pushing the two full supermarket trolleys all the way back to Linstead. They're now parked behind the Hall in an ever-increasing line of 'stolen' trolleys. In my landing's kitchens, we then marinated the chicken, peppered the pork, and prepared some of the food for the next day. After that - comm meeting in my room. Oooph. Stuffy. It was late; I daresay my neighbours weren't that pleased with our chattering. Went with Marvin to High St Ken on Fri to get some essential cutlery and ingredients... had Maccas for lunch. Yum. :) Then... meeting and preparation for the event at Linstead. Then... scurrying up and down the Linstead stairs to get various things from many rooms, and then... bringing things down and setting up the BBQ kits... getting the stereo/mp3/speakers/extension cords ready... yadda yadda. Felt like my old self... like the times in TKG... during school events... rushing all over the place.
It would be safe to consider SFP a success - the weather was being lovely, the BBQ food was
mmmmmm with a smile, the seniors showed up in force, and so did a few hardcore first- and second-year supporters. ;) And as for our mystery item (so much for it being a 'mystery'; everyone knew about it a long time ago), the dance... we managed to pull if off not once, but twice! Yeah!
The cleanup ate into the late 1-ish am hours. By the time we scrubbed the pits clean, it was waaay late. My room has now become a storage place. Many, many potatoes, two BBQ pits, bottles of drinks, snacks, coal, cutlery, cups... etc etc. Bleh.
Anway... being the Linsteadians that we are... we didn't go to bed. Nah, not us. It was Soha and Lu's birthday earlier in the week, and that night, we celebrated their birthdays with a super-sweet choc cake. Yakking general nonsensical crap and a bit of Star Wars... for a good two hours at least.
After the cake, and a few bites of the chicken Lebanese roll thingy that they doggy-bagged for me (thanks...), I was too full to sleep. (-_-)
