cip for marina bay countdown

ok so went to do some cip for the marina bay countdown on yest. haha signed up with it with stella. went down to esplanade for the briefing at 2. only then did we realise we had to fill up a rather big sphere or ball with wishes for the new year from the public. there will be 5000 of such spheres which will be fully released into the singapore river(i think) near marina area by the 31st, as part of a visual art thingy for the countdown. haha so we were supposed to go around asking the public to pen down their messages on this gigantic ball la. haha. so inconvenient man. took a bus down to tanglin area, and before we got to anyone, it rained -.- the rain kept coming on and off, which was super irritating, cos it causes the ink on the ball to smudge a little, and it goes onto our shirt. ok so they gave us a shirt la, no complains. haha. managed to get some people to fill up half the sphere i think, and the rest i filled up myself :P wishes for myself, for others, and also wished in the mentality of others. hehe. and of cos with some contributions from stella too! haha. not that we didn't try la, we did, but getting ppl to pen down their msg is difficult. haha. ended up strolling frrom bus stop to bus stop to get them to write, and most were willing since they have nothing better to do while waiting for the bus :P haha. stayed till bout 5 plus before reporting back. and we were quite hardworking and erm responsible la, cos the return box was filled with the deflated balloons when we got there alr la -.- haha. and yes, spent a tough time trying to deflat the balloon too. haha.

ok since i succeeded in connecting my phone to the com, i shall uplaod some pics!

The big gigantic sphere filled!

some (non-confidential :P) wishes i made!

a meaningful wish made by a member of the public! (hope i am not infringing any privacy rights =/)

and lastly me with the BBIIGGG ball!

and to sidetrack a little, i bought Backstreet Boys new album! (:

Interact bonding session

before that...
HAPPY SWEET SEVENTEEN EMILY ONG! <3
though u won't be reading this :P

haha so had interact bonding session on wed. was actually quite reluctant to go la, cos dun really know anyone in interact. but still went in the end, partly because i was rather free and it would be really bad to bluff that i wasn't, and also since u minus 2 attendance if u fail to go without a valid reason. haha, and of cos also to bond and know more interact people la :P so now that it's over, i would say it was pretty fun la, worth going afterall(:

so went early in the morning at 9 to help out with the preparations of the games cos i was in club serv. anw while we waited for ppl here and there, and had to buy lunch to da-pao to pasir ris park since there are no shops there, only set off for the park at bout 11. lol. and so i was in charge of the so called rope game, where u had to pass the rope(which was ruffia string, lol) and the rubberband, with qinghui. and yes, that's a new fren i got to know of course. haha. anw prepared the water bombs with some others before seperating to do our own duties.

actually the turn out for the bonding session was rather sad la. supposed to have bout 30, in the end only 20 turned up -.- so ended up having 2 grps instead of 3 for the station games. so waited at the station damn long for them to turn up. and even before a group came, it started raining -.- lol, so had to find shelter. thank god the rain stopped soon after and we carried on with the game. haha, our game is actually pretty boring la, haha. not that we planned it anw :P sooo, left to meet up with the rest, and saw waileng and kellie in the toilet! haha, apparently waileng fell even before playing the games, so kellie accompanied her to wash up. haha, no wonder didn't see them with the groups. they are the 2 tt i sort of know pretty well la. haha.

after the games went playground to play. haha so childish :P anw, the playgrounds these days requires guts to play man. some of the items there are like scary! haha serious. it's amazing how kids can just play without being scared at all. hmm... their childhood will be much enriching than ours i'm sure. haha.

went back for bbq after that. that's when the bonding actually takes place la. next time we should jus have the bbq and do away with the games la. haha. so helped to bbq, and pinched food here and there. haha. knew more people again. haha. food was so-so, but not enough :P haha. wind was so strong that u literally needed an umbrella to block of the wind. -.- haha. oh ya, the horrible part was having to cross the grass to get to the bbq pit. cos of the rain earlier on, the whole place was flooded. not exactly flooded, but there was mud. and we practically sink your whole foot into mud - what's worse was that, cos i was wearing slippers, it was damn gooy the mud, which was like quicksand, and the slippers ended stuck in the mud. wah super gross! in the end everybody left to the toilet to wash up and the whole place was so muddy. haha. den left after helping to clear up the pit. overall, it was enjoyable la(: a bit better than expected heh.

sometimes, your attitude really hurts me. yr monotonous replies make me feels as though i've done something wrong. pls, dun do this to me anymore. i jus hope i'm being oversensitive. yea.

Volunteers' Appreciation Day

attended the volunteers' appreciation cum christmas party organised by carecorner under the LAP scheme on the 15th. it was held at the singapore poly's guild club, sth along that line i think. haha. anw went with stella, and we did not get lost! thx to stella of cos ;P haha. the buffet spread was great, dianxin style. lol. and we played some 'icebreakers' game, and laughed alot. performance by kids too. enjoyed it i guess :) anw met some of the carecorner staff there, and when we exchanged greetings and stuff, they never fail to thank us for helping out. their sincere thanks made me realise that our help actually meant alot to them. i felt it weird because i never thought i was doing anything much. hmm... a little help goes a long way i guess. jus like how every single lap volunteer contributing his/her own part, bringing joy and laughter to the lap kids. anw received a simple thank you gift, a thank you card framed up made by one of the kids! ahh, touched! nth much, but it's enough(: looking forward to lap next year i guess!

oh ya, thx to stella and kellie for the gift! very nice! haha :D

badminton with evelyn last thurs was fun too! haha. :)

updates!

haha so here i'm again blogging, which doesn't fall in my list of constructive things to do :P lol ok maybe not. beats rotting at home of cos. haha.

ok firstly, have to wish STELLA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! hope u enjoyed yrself yest! cya soon!

anw guitar hol practices officially ended last fri! haha, not that i am exactly elated of cos. *ahem* but after the intensive yet not so intensive practices these past weeks, i guess we guitarists (those who have been constantly attending practices of cos) finally deserve a rest (: yea man! haha.

last week was the 7th international guitar festival! haha, went for the last and finale concert last sun, dec 9th, by Oscar Guzman. let me talk bout the price first. haha. the cheapest seats were at $20. and since we were students, we got a discount of $1. and due to further sponsorship by the National Arts Council i think, we got back a refund of $12. which means, we paid only 20-12-1 = $7 dollars for the ticket! hahahaha, cool eh!! and that's not the end! as we were seating seating on the elevated platform at the back, we could those below us very clearly, but had to strin our eyes trying to see his finger movements. so anw, the auditorium wasn't exactly full, and after the interval, we moved from the $20 seats to the more expensive ones in the front! haha, afterall, it's not occupied right? haha. and managed to get a better and clearer view of him playing! so the concert was pretty good overall. musicality and and techniques were awesome, but as what debby said, jus can't really appreciate the art of it. haha.

went to my cousin, alicia's 21st birthday celebrations yest! haha she just came back from brisbane, australia for summer holidays. had the normal bbq at pasir ris chalet with my other relatives. anw talking to her now feels weird cos she developed a slang! lol can't help but mimicking it as i speak to her. opps! =/ haha. anw from what she says, apparently studying overseas isn't all that glamorous afterall. she said all she does all day is study, maybe not exactly all day, but u get the point la. hmm hope life will be better for her next semester!



anw, it's raining and raining and raining in singapore all day. haha no tai yang gong gong to smile at me each morning. LOL jkjk.

it's the start of dec!!

omg! can't believe there's only 1 mth left of holidays! 1 mth; 4 weeks; 29 days! argh!! so pathetic :( haha just can't help but emphasising it :P

and yes, yuan qing left for china yest alr :( known her thru evelyn, her best pal too! enjoyed playing badminton and k-boxing with her. haha. anw hope to see her soon again (:

anw got offered a place in ntu h3 maths. went to submit the acceptance letter yest. hope i made a right decision though. den went off to library (again). lol cause jus went lib with evelyn and yq last thurs where they forced me to borrow shakespeare's macbeth book. dots ahh... haha. but had to go again to drop off my 2 other books which were due on that day so sun bian lor. anw i kinda felt erm wasted if i went to sch jus to submit the letter den return home. so go lib lo. haha. borrowed four other books i think. haha sch hol promotion so can borrow up to 8 books (: hope i can finish though. haha

ok off to do some ermm.... constructive stuff. hehe :P
