Yo everyone! Its time for another update! Haha, if you're reading this, expect another long entry haha. Well quite a few people have been feedbacking to me that my entries are REALLY long, but I figured it will stay that way haha. I just like putting detailed entries so that when I reminiscence about stuff I will be able to remember everything haha. I wonder if any of you feel the same way? And now, back to the usual updates.

If any of you have read finish my previous blog entry, you would know that this week was quite a busy week for me haha.

On Wednesday, Mrs Ho's farewell audition for performers went quite well, despite some disputes and problems (such as getting locked in LT4 haha), everything went quite smoothly. And being a part of the backstage crew, I learnt a lesson that if you are hosting a show, even if the backstage crew is facing problems or is very hectic, the show must go on.And the backstage crew must not show to the audience that they are disorganised, even if they are. Its is all for the sake of making the performance go smoothly.

On Thursday, I finally went to learn the new revamped 28th SC dance. Its quite interesting and has a lot of variations. I had fun and quite a good workout after learning the dance, so I expect it to be a success when we teach it during O1 :) As for the General Meeting we had, we wrapped up our kettling dates, and Jinfa "forced" everyone to complete their NYAA so that they can hand it up on Monday, tomorrow. Haiz, I handed up my NYAA bronze last year but didnt recieve the certificate, and so my NYAA status is unconfirmed. Looks like I have to make a trip to the headquarters. As for Farewell, we went through and reconfirmed all the "segment" procedures. And tomorrow will be a rehearsal for councillors from 2.30pm-6pm.

On Thursday night, the gang which included me, Swee Wei, Cun Zheng, Joshua, Eric, Kai Jian and Merrick, Wei Jun, Bee Fong and Sandar went to Tampines to have dinner haha. It was quite a dinner outing cause we had a weird encounter on the long bus ride there. And at the food junction, more than half of us supported the same food stall haha. And since there wasnt enough space, I had to sit in the space between 2 benches haha. Man it must have been weird for people to see me sit that way. Well, if we added another chair there wouldnt be enough space for the 2 people sitting at the end to eat haha.

After dinner, we went to StarBucks while the girls went elsewhere to do some shopping. Along the way, Joshua saw Mrs Cindy Tay with her daughter, and so the 2 of us said hi to her. After our break at StarBucks, we finally went home. Well to cut my entry short I wont mention all the details haha. When I finally reached home at 11pm, I washed up and then played a round of DOTA with my class guys haha. Nowadays, its been a routine for us to DOTA late at night haha. Luckily we still manage to endure through school haha.

On Friday, after lecture lessons, me and my other councillors went out to J8 for lunch. I'm going out with them really a lot nowadays haha. In fact, I see them everyday. And I see my classmates only on weekdays haha. Even after hols started, I am still seeing the other councillors everyday :P Oh well, council is like that. At J8, we were feeling rich enough to go for Teppanyaki, cause the other places we went to either had no space, or we were bored of eating the same things again. Our group included Joshua, Jinfa, Candice, Cleo, Audrey, Me, Cun Zheng, Swee Wei, Winnie, and her friend Felicia.

And after lunch, the Aestheticians had a Aesthetico meeting at 1.20pm so we had to rush back to school. And grr I learnt the importance of always remembering to bring your Ez Link card along. At our meeting, Ms Tang was quite in a rush cause she had other things to do, but during the meeting we had reflections of what events we had gone through during this year, as well as what events we have to take up next year. After the meeting ended, me and Vanessa went to shop for the banner logistics we needed for the farewell banner. At night, I had another DOTA session again till around 1.00am+

On Saturday, it was yet another long day. Cause its Sentosa Scouting No.3!!! In the morning, Hui Min and Peiyee were setting off to China for enrichment programme, and so the we of us arranged to meet at Changi Airport at 6.30am to send them off. Luckily, my mom could fetch me there, so I woke up at 5.30am. Some of the others woke up at 4.00am :P At the airport, the whole O1 games committee (Jinfa, Swee Wei, Candice, Choy and me) and Cun Zheng, Joshua, Wei Jun, Junyi and Eric went to sent them off. After sending them off, we had our breakfast at Burger King, and then headed off for Sentosa. Junyi and Eric were occupied with other things so they didnt join us for Sentosa.

When we reached Habour Front MRT, the group of us met up with Merrick, Wei Fang, Nadz, Sandar, Yoga and Johnathan. And then we went to Sentosa to meet up with Miss Chiew and Mr Tony Lim. For our whole trip, we started off at the Ferry Terminal at 10.20am and reached our last destination at around 12.20pm.

In order, we started from the GAC (Group Arrival Centre) and went to:

Ferry Terminal
Steword's Riverboat
Burger King building
Bicycle Kiosk
Lost Civilisation
Arid Garden
Fountain Garden
Encanted Grove Of Tembusu
Musical Fountain
Merlion
Imbiah Lookout (Images of Singapore, Sentosa Luge)
Dragon Trail
Underwater World + Fort Siloso area
Siloso beach

Quite a lot of areas eh? The games committe has about confirmed what places we wish to put our stations at, and we also took in considerations the movement times and wet weather shelters. So the "Sentosa" proposal should be about completed with this trip.

After our debrief, we all went to Habour Front centre to have lunch, and then the remaining of us returned to NYJC for our friendly soccer match with the 26th SC guys. They included Joshua, Cun Zheng, Merrick, Jinfa, Yoga, Wei Jun, Candice and lastly me. Simin also came down to joined us as well to support us, I really appreciated that :) In the end, we played at the parade square and used chairs as goal posts cause other people were using the goal posts at the basketball courts. It was a 6v6 match with all the guys playing except for Jinfa cause he had to rush the games proposal. It was a really comical yet exciting and fun match, but sadly I had to leave after the first half cause I had to go for my family dinner. I then found out that our 28th team won! Great job guys! Haha, I wished I was there to share the joy with you guys. Well I hear that after the soccer, everyone went our to eat dinner togther, so I bet the soccer game turned out to be quite successful for promoting interaction between the 26th and the 28th.

For my family dinner, I went to Vienna at United Square to eat dinner to celebrate my Mom's B day which is tomorrow. Its quite expensive at $38+ per adult, but I had quite a heavy dinner, and I left the place with quite a bloated stomach. There's quite a lot of different kinds of foods offered there, but certain of the foods there arent up to standard. There's teppanyaki, seafood, sushi, cocktails, steamed foods, cakes, icecream, sharks fin soup, spagetti, crabmeat beehoon, and quite a lot of other foods. As for the service, the empty plates and cups etc are cleared quite quickly. The waiters and waitresses always seem so busy. And they even greet you at the door when you first enter. And something more perculiar was that they serve fruit juices in test tubes hm... On the overall, it was quite a good experience.

And at night, another DOTA session! Man it feels weird when you play DOTA and get owned by your brothers haha.

And as for today, I slept like a log in order to recuperate from having such a busy week. And my cousin who has stayed over for a night, seems to now have a greater understanding of DOTA after watching me get owned last night haha. And I spent some time playing Gundam Seed Never Ending Tomorrow on PS2 and yet another round of DOTA with my class guys and Swee Wei.

And now, I'm blogging and perhaps waiting for another DOTA match.

Tomorrow, I will have to go to school for banner painting and have a rehearsal for the mrs Ho's Farewell. And tuesday and wednesday will be Council Retreat! Which means even longer entries coming up lol...


And time for some pictures again:
