Marina's wedding

2009-05-24T21:44:00.002+08:00

Hello guys...

For those who are going for Marina's wedding, this is something she told me when I RSVP with her.

She said that the afternoon session (2 to 5pm) will be slightly more traditional. And after 5.30, it will be a western theme. It sounds like we can choose which "shift" we wanna attend.

So I'm trying to find out which timing most people are going. Cos after all, it's a good chance to meet up with the rest of the people. Can someone find out from the other people (ie Eugene they all, I dunno who else is invited) what time they are going?

So far, Yenfang and I are flexible and will go with majority and Steph prefers afternoon.

Pegs

2009-04-21T17:55:00.001+08:00

Omg, this blog has been dusty since the start of Year 2009~ How can that be?!?

Anyway, found out from Mak yesterday that majority of you will finish exam on 29-Apr, but Jian and Lun have got attachment during the 3-months break? I was thinking of a gathering.

Refer to the below for more details:

Date: 15-May-09 (Fri Night) - Mak said i planned too early and it's very kua zhang, but i think i need to book you busy people in advance to get a good attendance.

Venue: Dinner @ somewhere and somewhere after dinner for chit-chatting session. - Let's not go for ktv again, since we can't really catch up with one another during the session. And, no gambling! Hahaha.

Time: 6.30pm (Depend on individual anyway) Till late night...anytime we can stay till!

Hey wait! I suddenly thought of another idea. Night Cycling? Hahaha. Anyone? Okok, i know this gang's preference. MCQs!

Option A:

Dinner and Chit-Chatting Session after that.

Option B:

Ktv, if some of you really miss it and want it so badly.

Option C:

Night Cycling! @ East Coast?

Option D:

Open to all. Remember to suggest if you choose this option.

And anyway, i thought of another date for another program if most of you can make it.

Option E:

Date: 16-May (Saturday)

Venue: Sentosa!

What to do: WHAT ELSE???

Alright, pls tag your replies on the tagboard! (:

Shiyin

Sentosa & KTV

2008-12-30T10:42:00.004+08:00

We very long never go see the sun, sand and sea together liao. And also quite long never sing songs together. Can give shiyin a chance to practice singing chinese new year songs also. Also, yirong rarely got free time on a weekday (that hardworking girl...)

Den, bring cards. I will bring frisbee, volleyball. Huijie, bring your brand new Dolby Surround 4.8 Home Theatre System and some songs... ;) Anything else we need?

1. Chay
2. Mak
3. Shiyin
4. Peggen - we see sand, peggen see snow. we sing CNY songs, peggen sing carols...
5. Delon
6. Weilun
7. Den
8. Yirong
9. Huijie

Gift Exchange

2008-12-16T13:33:00.002+08:00

Now that the date is mostly set to be 19th Dec (Friday), that just means that you have 3 effective days left for shopping... I would think that with years of experience doing gift exchanges in this gang, we should all know roughly what are the "expectations" of a "proper" gift. Nonetheless, here are some guidelines...

1. Unisex. The gift should be suitable for a guy or a girl recipient. Means no undergarment or pink earphones or bright purple butterfly-shaped hairclip... That will also mean no suggestive items - I have personally received a wooden sculpture in the shape of a dick (ah, yes... the man's reproductive organ) in a lucky draw gift exchange 2 years ago with an all male group. I swear I won't be too amused if it went to my girlfriend.

2. No food. Nothing along the line of edible items. Means no chocolates or candies or peanuts... Drinks should be okay? I do think a bottle of wine makes a fantastic gift. I don't think people will be giving $19.90 worth of Coca-Cola as presents...

3. Budget for the gift ranges from SGD 15.00 and above.

4. Wrap the gift. An unwrapped present is simply rude, plus the fact that the lucky draw will want some suspense involved. If possible, make it difficult to guess whats your gift. And so, you should also try to get your present alone or with non-members of this organisation.

Yirong has volunteered to plan for games, so any ideas regarding games, go to her. I have a feeling "Murderer" is going to be part of the programme already... Haha! Meanwhile, Chay will send out a SMS to confirm the date and time soon. If you don't receive any, means you are not invited! ............................................ Haha! No lah.. Just means that Chay is too busy and might have forgot about you. In that case, give me an sms and I will feed you the information.

2008-12-13T11:49:00.002+08:00

Maybe a poll makes things easier?

I don't know, just a random idea. Didn't take me too long to do this up.

Chay's Cosy Cottage

2008-12-12T09:00:00.002+08:00

To save the trouble of reading through the chatbox for everyone, I will summarise the current situation...

For our traditional x'mas gathering this year, we are going to Chay's Cosy Cottage, located at Teck Whye. The venue is more or less confirmed but what we really need is a date.

Chay's has given us the following options:
1. 19th Dec (Friday)
2. 20th Dec (Sat)
3. 21st Dec (Sunday)
4. 27th Dec (Sat)
5. 28th (Sunday)

Your preference would be preferred (pun not intended) by tonight - I quote Chay, "Voting will end 12/12 midnight".

Activity will likely be potluck (dinner), games (public transport strongly encouraged), gift exchange.

Potluck solves the problem of food. We won't need a committee to go marketing for fishball and prawns. Everyone will just bring something for dinner. HJ (and if I remember correctly Lunzi) have some booze at home and I think that should suffice. At this point, I should add that HJ is a changed man since I knocked him out with Chivas last year at the rugged chalet. He can now drink Jack Daniel without batting an eyelid and even keeps some stock at home. He is now the new Liquor King of the group. Haha!

The gift exchange will be a simple lucky draw style and your gift should be in the range of $15 to $20. Your partners are defintely welcomed to the party, but do ensure that every individual has a gift for the lucky draw. I've already bought my gift, so its time to go shopping if you haven't.

That's about it. Once we settle on the date, the party is ready to blast!

2008-12-06T01:15:00.010+08:00

Badminton Fun

2008-12-04T15:22:00.005+08:00

Lun, Den, HJ, Jon and myself went for a 2 hour badminton game today. It was not only good exercise for us, but also helluva fun - expected when the bunch of us get together. Proves the point that having common interests does make life between friends alot easier. In fact, I think thats why people become friends...

Jonathan celebrates winning a point... But someone ought to tell him this isn't a soccer game.

Jon and HJ forms the "Yes-Yes" team, shouting "yes! yes!" after winning every point.

It seemed to work as a psychological warfare against Den and Lun for a while, but soon, the "Yes-Yes" team started to sob. The game ended with the "Yes-Yes" team scoring a narrow victory.

Weilun's most embarassed moment of the day, so coincidentally captured by me on camera. It was a good laugh for all of us, and it might be a good source of income if Lun is willing to buy the film over from me... Haha!

2008-11-30T21:08:00.006+08:00

Retarded Jian

My first time flying kite~! Haha, unbelievable i know!

Wow i didn't know HJ actually has got some muscles...*wink*

See how vain the guys are nowadays? Tsk tsk tsk...

East Coast Park

2008-11-30T10:29:00.010+08:00

Blessed by a rare sunny and breezy day, and the rare availability of my dad's van, I must say the East Coast trip was a success. My own greatest satisfaction was the sun tanning and the good chatting session at Coffee Bean. It was a good weekend and if all goes well, there should be a dinner gathering and a sentosa trip coming up... Below are some of the memories taken from my phone - Shiyin has the bulk of the photos.

Director Mak tries to do a "Lovers Re-unite At The Beach" scene.

Candid shot: No idea when this was taken but with Jon scratching his crotch, HJ digging his ears and myself looking constipated... you probably won't want to know what we are talking about.
I brought along my kite and frisbee. Wind was good for kite flying and Shiyin took the chance to relish her childhood days. Jon had the honour of reeling in the kite after that, and it took him 15 minutes to do so.

Lunch at C.Nai cafe.

HJ showing off his biceps while holding on to the kite in the "strong, tornardo-hurricane-typhoon wind" at East Coast.

Den reinforces the point - wind was damn strong.

Jon said he was going to put this photo on facebook and label it as "my kite". If he don't give me acknowledgement for using my kite, I will sue him until he become like Lehman Brothers.

Jon took this photo when I wasn't ready. I don't usually twist my ass to one side when taking photos.

F4 self-shoot.
Jon keep insisting that Den and I stand a few steps below him and let him stand on the top.

Still...

No More Chalets Available

2008-11-06T17:32:00.002+08:00

Bad news.

No chalets available. No downtown east, no aloha changi, no aloha loyang, no SAFRA pasir ris... Almost everything is booked up in the month of December.

I think we planned too late.

I haven't check the Bukit Gombak CDANS for their availability, but I think we will keep that as a last resort. Some suggestions that were heard: Go Bangkok, go climb Mt. Ophir, go on a cruise, go Sentosa.

HJ just came off a cruise in October this year and is resisting the idea of a cruise. M.Jay don't want a shopping trip and with the violence in Thailand in mind, is resisting the idea of Bangkok. Lun, with safety in mind, is resisting the Mt. Ophir idea. J.Lim suggested the Sentosa, no strong resistance from anyone - but I think that would have to be a day event because the campsite is no longer in existence.

We need ideas, people.

M.Jay

2008-10-22T09:03:00.002+08:00

To the people living on the mountains without a Facebook account, in case you are really interested in my life here, and see my pretty face, I have a photo album on Picasa.

http://picasaweb.google.com/purplepeg

The ones on Facebook are censored and filtered to fit into the 60 photos per album limit but the ones here not.

Enjoy!

End Of Year BIG Event

2008-10-18T21:26:00.003+08:00

Its about 2 more months to Chirstmas, and that means we should start planning our yearly chalet / gathering for the end of year fesitivity - like a high-key event in reservist.

Clearly remembered the rugged chalet last year, with people running home now and then (because its just so near our homes!), with Jian almost fainting upon discovering that the chalet ain't got no beds in them (not even one of those thin, flabby di lums), HJ getting drunk with modified Texas Hold'em and guarded the chalet (while sleeping) while the rest went to a relatively uneventful DXO, except that M.Jay got caught for stealing a sip out of Yin's vodka ribena and had to pay $30 for that really-just-ribena sip ($%^#$%%!). Also, who can forget the out-of-this-world gift exchange in the lucky draw cum quiz fashion (planned by yours truly), and the middle of the night, lay by the camp-fire (candle fire actually) and chit chat session.

Everyone had a special moment, everyone remembered something funny - like how I remembered myself gradually "taking over" someone's sleeping bag and left her shivering in the cold for the night. (Sorry, Mui.)

2 months. Just about the right time to plan something. So, do we want a chalet, overseas trip or something else? I think a chalet will be a good idea - we can have good gang fun most of the time and bring in guests on BBQ night for additional manpower, meaning more fun and laughter. I don't mind doing the things but I need the feedback before I can start on anything. So, let's hear some comments on the chatbox. And also, this is also an advice not to plan overseas trip during the X'mas period on your own. The end of year thing is a tradition of this gang, so let's keep it as much as we can. Haha.. And Mui, just in case we have a chalet this year, remind me to bring my sleeping bag... I promise I won't steal yours... Keke..

As for Peg, well... You probably be having a white x'mas, with steamy exhalation, cackling fireplace and little coniferous plants as decorations... But you will confirm miss seeing your friends get crazy with whiskey and vodkas, and doing all the crazy things we usually do... Tell you what, maybe you can just pon one week of school there and come back for gathering... We won't tell anyone... Anything, Rong will settle for you. Haha..

M.Jay

2008-10-13T09:52:00.001+08:00

Hey guys~ I know we're supposed to meet up this sun for a ktv session. But seems like i can't make it now. So sorry~! U guys can go ahead though, i can meet one of u n pass u e 2hrs free voucher if u all wan.

Yin

2008-10-09T22:42:00.001+08:00

2008-10-03T23:06:00.002+08:00

Ladies and gentlemen, monkeys and elephants, it has been a long long while since something decent was posted. Are you guys all still alive? Have you all been meeting up? I want to go KTV so bad.

I know, at the back of your minds, you must be thinking "this stupid Peg, go exchange so relax of course damn free to say such things lah. She doesn't know how much work we have to do in school/at work and how stressed we are over school and blah."

But you know, it would be nice to read something from this blog. Especially something warm and oozy from home on a cold day (which most days are now). It helps you unwind and destress as well.

Its getting on the verge of trying too hard. I'm off. Hopefully when I get back, this gang still exists.

xx,
your gang member in a faraway land

2008-09-10T23:25:00.004+08:00

FREEDOM!!!

Time To Go Garang!

2008-09-10T09:12:00.002+08:00

Hey people... 22 Sept marks the start of the Recess Week for the NTU boys. We should plan some high key events on one of the days in that week - i.e. Night Cycling*, Beach Trip, Chalet (tough), BBQ or even a Day Cycling*. Erm, Taboo and KTV are not considered really high key events, so I think we can do that some other time on weekends. Holidays are meant for garang things! Haha!

Since we have working class among us, I suggest Fridays and Saturdays - which means probably start of the week or end of the week. I am personally for start of the week, meaning 19 Sept, 20 Sept, 21 Sept. Let's hear some comments on the tag board.

* - Cycling does not remain confined to the ECP only. I am refering to cycle to places around Singapore that kind. So a certain level of fitness is advisable.

M.Jay

Surprise!

2008-08-17T01:17:00.002+08:00

Guess who I found in LA?

To The Beach

2008-08-11T16:28:00.004+08:00

Eh, the ginseng can use one... Read my site for more instructions.

Anyway, should be plan a next outing? Is there a long weekend coming up soon? Very long never go beach already... Lets have a beach outing next! Jian and I actually wanted this outing to be at Sentosa very much - but we didn't want to spoil the plan. Hmm.. I shall go lookout for ideal date, and inform you people again. So, watch this space as often as you can...

M.Jay

:)

2008-08-10T18:24:00.003+08:00

Hello my dear friends,

I had a lot of fun yesterday. Thanks for everything, the company, the songs, the games, the laughter, and the presents :)

FYI, I am bringing the ginseng along but I don't think I will use it. Will just put it on display and smell it when I miss home. Hah. And the bag will be left at home too cos that will come in handy for work, which I wouldn't be doing there. Then, the pretty purple box will be left at home but I am bringing the contents along. Cos the box takes up quite a bit of space. My luggage is quite scary ahh.

I know you all will miss me!! But I will be online. We can webcam on MSN or skype (: Add me on skype using my hotmail okok??? And do drop me an email once in a while. I don't know what the rates are like for international call. So I might or might not call back. I will try to blog and update about all my trips, my school, the people, my apartment and what-not as much as possible on my blog. So stay tuned to my new blog. :)

xoxo,
peg

Final Decision

2008-07-17T23:03:00.003+08:00

The thing which an organiser hates to see the most is differences among the participants. LOL~

Anyway, seems like almost everyone prefers 9th Aug. OKAY, so we shall set it on the 9th Aug!

Date: 9th Aug 2008
Time: Whole Day
Activities: KTV from 2pm onwards. Dinner (tze char or any simple meal). Tea Party after dinner.

Anyone with any comments may NOT speak up. Lol.

Yin.

Gathering

2008-07-15T20:12:00.003+08:00

Hello guys~! I guess everyone should more or less know that our Miss Piggy Peg will be flying off to Canada soon.

So yeah, maybe we should have a gathering before that? Lol. I heard Jian suggesting on Facebook about one Sentosa trip before Peg leaves? Anyway, I have a few options in mind for you guys to choose.

*Choose the date first

Date: 9th Aug 2008 ( Saturday ) OR 26th Jul 2008 ( Saturday )
Time: May last up to one whole day

Because some of us might be involved in NDP, so i guess i should choose another date for safe. And the reason why i skipped 2nd Aug is because i know 5 peepz of the gang will be at Genting by this time~! So we're left with 2 options. Anyway, Peg is flying on the 11th Aug.

*Everyone to choose at least 2 options.

1) East Coast Trip during daytime (Cycle or blade), hopefully everyone can reach in time. Lol. Tea Party at night.

2) Sentosa during daytime. Tea Party at night.

3) East Coast Trip during daytime. Steamboat at night.

4) Sentosa during daytime. Steamboat at night.

If you guys want some indoor activities.....

5) KTV in the afternoon. Buffet/Steamboat at night.

6) KTV in the afternoon. Tea Party at night.

Okay, I will end here. Suggestions are welcome anyway~!

Yin.

4 July

2008-07-02T00:08:00.003+08:00

While the Americans' Independence Day has nothing to do with us, majority of the gang happened to vote Friday over Saturday for our outing.

[If you did not receive an SMS from me on Monday, I apologize. Too long never organise already lah. Not because I don't want you there okay!]

Anyway, the plan is as follows:

We will meet at 7pm for dinner somewhere (to be decided, suggestions welcomed)

Followed by movie at 9 plus. Anyone objects to 10 PROMISES TO MY DOG???

Responses:

Dinner & Movie:

Chevrons Again?

2008-06-06T18:13:00.003+08:00

Chevrons on Saturday, 7 June?

Well, can make this the "official" farewell party for Peg before she goes overseas for a couple of months, as well as making this a replacement plan for the Sentosa. Why now, when she is only leaving in... erm, August?

Come August, most of us will be busy again as school will be starting. Peggen, who has tonnes of friends to entertain, may need to start ration-ing her time with Chan Howe and her family, and her other friends out there. If we can gather for another one just before she leaves, that will be good, but I think that this period of time might be a little more feasible for most of us.

Sentosa proposal didn't get a good response, so hopefully this night programme might get more attendace. So, in summary:

Saturday, 7 June, 2000H onwards.
Peggen, especially, shall not drive. (Grin)

How? Need MCQ?

Option 1: I can make it at 8pm.
Option 2: I can make it, but will arrive later.
Option 3: No, I can't make it and I don't give a damn.

Hahaha... And we do need a member of Chevrons to be there, don't we?

M.Jay

THE REAL PLAN

2008-05-26T01:30:00.004+08:00

Remember on 9 June 2007, we had one of the most awesome attendance ever which includes all the partners. In exactly 365 days later, lets make this awesome attendance happen again!
[cos leap year, don't doubt my maths]

8 June 2008 (Sunday)
Sentosa, bikini, sun, sand, sea, volleyball, frisbee
10am till sundown
Followed by tze char dinner somewhere. :)

Multiple choice question for everyone:
1. I wanna show off my hot bod in Sentosa
2. I only want the calories, forget about the sun, sea and sand
3. I am up for showing my hot bod before putting on the calories
4. I can neither show off my hot bod nor join in the putting on of calories because ______________________________

Mak, got van or not? (I know petrol went up again! #$%^) Anyone else with class 3 can get wheels which can travel on expressway to share the load?

Enough time for everyone to plan your work schedule, push away your other dates, reserve car, shave your armpits and chest hair, tone up to go topless/wear bikini etc.

By the rate you guys keep postponing the outing, might as well wait for me right?! Hee.

Disclaimer: it has got nothing to do with me turning 22. Just so happen that its the first weekend of my liberation.

Beach Outing

2008-05-22T08:18:00.003+08:00

Jonathan said he organising beach outing this weekend. I don't know whether on or not, because he haven't say anything yet ar...

Just in case he comes up with it last minute, I suggest keeping the weekends day time free if you can. Or better still, if we can take the initiative to tell him when we are available. Easier for him to plan that way...

M.Jay

2008-05-19T16:28:00.003+08:00

Haha yeah mak, you're going crazy. Nevertheless, i think your idea sounds great. LOL. Free massage and porters are not enough. I think you should adjust the picture below and maybe put 4 figures sitting under the tree resting while the others do the work like setting up the tent or bbq-ing and stuffs. The four obviously would be mak, peg, yin and lun. LOL LOL LOL~~~

Btw pics are up! Very sad that we didn't take a group photo though. Next time alright!

Sorry that i'm appearing in almost all the pics because i can't find any without me in it. LOL.

Yin.

Going Mad

2008-05-18T15:57:00.002+08:00

The outing last night was good. Had fun and really enjoyed myself with the singings and especially the talk cock session cum supper after the singing... We should have more of such things when we can...

Thanks Yin for organising, and trying to accomodate to the various demands and requirements from the group.

Its really hard to organise something nowadays, with every so busy. Maybe, next time someone organises something sucessfully, we should give a certificate of appreciation or maybe, a Bachelor in Organising Gang's Recreation & Entertainment (OGRE). Rightfully named, because sometimes the organiser must really be such an orge, in order to get positive responses. If I got free time, I go design the certificate. Then, for everyone then participates in the activity, you get some "points". When you accumalate enough points, you can exchange the points for rewards - like free massages, free porter for your baggage/backpacks/handbags on outings etc...

Haha.. I am going mad.

M.Jay

2008-05-16T13:27:00.001+08:00

Hey guys~! Very sad that only me, Mui, Mak and Jian can make it for Sentosa tomorrow. So after a short discussion with Mak, we decided to postpone this Sentosa Outing to this coming Sunday~! Anyone?

Btw, the reason why i chose to call you guys with my office phone instead of sms-ing is because i had forgotten to bring my HP out. So, forget about sms-ing or calling my hp now until 7pm when i will reach home and check my phone. (Sorry rong, i didn't know you are still sleeping at the time of 10.50am.) LOL.

As for tomorrow, we'll only be going Chevrons i guess. And if anyone's reading this, pls kindly get someone to call and make a booking? (preferably 7pm-11pm or 8pm-12pm) I'm really confused about the person who always make the booking for us. Haha.

Anyway, MCQs seem simple and easier. Pls choose the option below.

1) Able to make it for Chevrons on sat night and Sentosa on sun.

2) Able to make it for Chevrons on sat night only.
2a) Will be late.
2b) Able to make it on time regardless of 7pm or 8pm.

3) Able to make it for Sentosa on sun only.

4) Unable to make it for either one of the events.

Yin.

2008-05-15T10:01:00.000+08:00

Okay, based on the tagboard replies, i have one plan in mind. Shall see if you guys are keen on it.

Btw Delon, thanks for your offer. LOL. If the others are on, i should be fine on the 24th May too i guess.

Anyway my plan is:

Sentosa in the morning.
Chevrons at night.

We can meet around 10am at Harbour Front and stay in Sentosa till 3pm or 4pm. After that, we can go for a lunch+dinner and off to chevrons! Maybe we can start singing around 7pm or 8pm and end around 11pm or 12am.

1) Those who can't make it in the morning come join at night.

2) Those who can't make it at night can join in the morning.

3) Those who can make it the whole day will be good.

Pls reply on the tagboard whether your option is 1, 2 or 3.

Yin.

Okay i believe the previous post is by Peg. Lol. We understand, no worries. I will try to organise more activites after your busy period. ^_^

Btw, i didn't expect those objections against night cycling at east coast. (And MJY, why didn't you highlight about the dengue fever thingy when i mentioned NIGHT CYCLING in my first post, and have to wait till my 2nd post when everything is confirmed, and there you came up with these. >_< Luckily i've learnt how to curb my temper lately and decided to forgive you.)

Anyway, seems like no one wants to stay out unsheltered? Alright, i've got 3 alternatives here.

1) Day Cycling cum Dinner Outing

We can meet around 3pm or 4pm and go east coast cycle or blade or whatever. And we can have dinner together after that.

2) Sentosa Outing

We can go Sentosa suntan or sunblock in the early morning, play volleyball, frisby and whatsoever. And have lunch together and if everyone's fine, we can go somewhere else like ktv, pool or bowling after that.

3) Night KTV

We can organise a Chevrons KTV on Sat night and sing from whatever time to whatever time.

Pls choose option 1, 2 or 3 and reply ASAP on the tagboard.

Yin.

From the queen of randomness

2008-05-14T00:41:00.003+08:00

Hello guys!!

Has been long since I dropped my 2 cents worth words on this space. A great shout out to Mak who successfully revamped this blog and made necessary changes. heh. Second shout out to Lun and everyone for the awesome attended Sakae supper buffet. A last shout out to Mak and Yin who has been consistently organising activities.

Due to my already-narrowed-down-to 2 presentations, 3 project reports and 4 exams in the following 3 weeks, I have to say no to such garang activities. I cannot afford to break a leg, be caught in the rain and end up with a high fever, or even severe muscle aches for the next 3 weeks. This is way too garang for a week 12 girl and of course I cannot afford the time, but you guys have fun okay! <3

Slurps! My curry flavour instant noodles are damn yummy. Time to go wash the bowl and head back to my incomprehensible accounting articles.

PS: Lun, bank consols shouldn't be that bad after you experienced such articles. Lucky for you, as far as I know, your curriculum doesn't have this module.

PPS: Rong, call me if you need to talk about your dilemma. :) I can provide my 10cents worth.

PPPS: Mak, I can't get Tan KK's image off my head now! I appreciate such random smses though. :)

Okay, really need to wash bowls now.

Salut! (been learning abit of French for exchange lah)

2008-05-13T10:43:00.003+08:00

Alright! The response seems overwhelming~!

Let's make it a CONFIRMED outing then! ^_^

I actually sms-ed Jian yesterday about learning of roller blading. But the reply never come back.

Anyway, i wanna go there earlier to blade. (I blade only once before so i wanna try to see if i can blade smoothly so perhaps i can blade throughout the whole night instead of cycling!)

So, who's interested and free to go there earlier? We can sit, chat and have dinner together. And those interested in blading may join me! Lol.

Since it's gonna be a NIGHT cycling, i suppose we won't be meeting very early.

So there'll be 2 batches on that day. (unless no one's interested to join the early batch)

First Batch:

Time: 6PM

Venue: Chua Chu Kang Control Station (Gombak-ians like me and HJ can meet at Gombak for you guys)

What to do: Reach East Coast around 7PM or 7PM plus. BLADE~~~ sit down, chit chat, stroll by the beach (if anyone's interested), have dinner together.

Later Batch:

Time: Any time before 10PM. We'll start our NIGHT cycling cum blading at around 10PM.

Venue: EAST COAST PARK

What to do: Cycle, Blade, Poker cards, Silly and stupid games. (Think of some games to last us through the night), Supper etc.

Lastly, pls confirm whether you'll be joining the early batch or coming later on our tagboard or sms me @ 9325____.

Confirmed Attendees:

1) Shiyin
2) Weilun
3) Jian
4) Den
5) Huijie [going to pang seh!]
6) Mak
7) Yu - Can't confirm
8) Rong - Can't confirm

NIGHT CYCLING~!

2008-05-11T22:16:00.004+08:00

Hey guys~!

Inspired by my sis who went night cycling tonight, let's arrange one next week during Vesak Day Holiday? Instead of the usual ktv, we should arrange an outdoor activity! Perhaps let's put it on 17th May, a sat? Anyone agreeable with it? Get back soon on this blog! We shall go with the majority.

Yin

We Are Listed

2008-05-06T22:30:00.002+08:00

Inspired by Yirong's call to change her photo, and my out of sudden use of the words "we are all major shareholders of this blog", I have decided to give our sidebar a little theme using the financial world of terminologies.

DaGang 'sTalk Exchange ain't no typo mistake. The chatbox is where we usually do "msn" on the blog, and the twisting with the words fits it into the theme. Instead of the boring "members", it is now replaced with "Board of Directors", to re-irritate (I meant reiterate) to Yirong the point that everyone has a share to this blog and you can do what you want - ahem, and I quote from Big Brother, "so long you stand behind your words and speak or write responsibly."

The counter is our IPO from the 3rd May, and its a good sign that the number only can go up. Could be a day when we set up a company together for real - and I got it all thought out. We can develope Biological and Chemical technologies - medicine, weaponry, publications etc. Chay's expertise in plastic will help where plastic treatments are required. I can supply Chemistry knowledge. Shiyin can deal with the logistics (plan if we should take the air route or sea route to get those Chemical warheads to Taliban, or maybe even take camels to save cost.) Peg and Lun will deal with the Finance - raking in and keeping check of our cash from the various industries from Iraq to USA. Delon and HJ will help out in Biological knowledge. Den, Jon and Mui can pool their engineering knowledge and create miracle products for the company. Yu can be in charge of PR - getting dance performances for our clients, organising mahjongs and entertainment to boost our reputation. And Rong, you will continue to hold the position of "Honourary Advisor" in the board, and keep trying to inspire me to talk about rubbish like this paragraph.

Well... They say Pisces are dreamers, didn't they?

Mission Aborted

2008-05-05T19:24:00.002+08:00

Alright... Looks like not many can make it already for this Sentosa outing. Well, if we go, I think we all want it to be a major and grand one with almost everyone there.

Let's have it another day bah, sometime when everyone can make it. But, I won't be available on the weekdays from now till 23rd May, and also certain weeks in June. Hope we can fun some other time.

M.Jay

2 Things

2008-05-04T14:58:00.002+08:00

Hello there ladies and gentlemen....

THE NEW LOOK
This page is 90% done up done. Colour combinations are done to a bright cheerful theme for fun and adventure. The photos are ripped off from those that I own, taken from outings together. (Note: Its all nice, smiley pictures... Yes, even healthy, as Rong promotes a healthy diet and rally the readers to fight against junk food.) If you are intending to put a photo that you like better, crop it to 89 x 148 pixels, 97 x 96 dpi for the resolution. Or, you can email the picture with the title "PLEASE change my photo" and I can do it for you. The header and footer are hand-drawn by yours truly, or rather, mouse-drawn. The "About Us" section was crapped out by me too, and any editing (so long it ain't abusive) is welcomed.

The remaining 10% will require everyone with our "Quan Jia Fu" to send a copy to me. I don't seem to have any of our "Full Force" photos, and I believe Yin and Peg has the most of them. Help to look through your computers for our group photos and these are the requirements:

1. Must contain at least 8 / 12 of the group, because I know its tough to get a 12 / 12.
2. In colour - no B&W please.
3. Avoid an Edison Chen episode, though I highly don't expect it.

THIS WEEKEND
Weather seems pretty good these days for the sand and sea. How about having one this Saturday at Sentosa? I should be able to get the van out and if Peg is okay, we can organise the transport - just like how we did for the Ubin trip last year. I can get my hands on a volleyball and Den can definitely work out a deck of poker cards. Organised games (think Orientation style) can be a first for our group outing - water bombs, three legged race, captain's ball... Groupings will be randomised by drawing lots... Food and drinks will be potluck style pinic - everyone, except maybe the drivers, bring abit of something to fill the tummy and hydrate the tired bodies. Or we can have a F&B department to organise something.

Conclusion? A good work out, a good tan, lots of laughter and a good night sleep.

Sounds perfect to me.

Think about it, then drop a reply here or SMS me. Your other half will be welcomed. Once we work out the attendance, we can activate the "F&B Dept" to collect funds and pen down the shopping list. Drivers in the "Land Transport Authority" can sort out who and where to pick up. So, who's for it?

M.Jay

New Look!

2008-05-02T01:04:00.003+08:00

Ah ha!!!

New look for this place... I think our site has been having the same old face for quite some time... Since it was surrected, I think...

Now, M.Jay, with some free time at hand and some need to release his artistic ventings, will volunteer to re-vamp this place... I very nice.. I explored the functions and tools using my own blog first, then I come touch the gang's blog... Had I been slightly more evil, I would have done it the other way round...

Don't dismay just yet.. This place is still under construction... I am thinking of getting a little bit of group photos up here - not those big and close-up ones like we have on the sides... Group photos at the header and the footer, from various events and activities, made into a collage... It will be big enough to know whats going on, but small enough to not steal the limelight.. Idea?

I will also play around with the templates and the colour combination for another week or so... Any opinions, please voice out too.. So that everyone can have a part of this new look... or we can rotate the job, every year one person design.. since, its really quite easy to do it...

Looking forward to tomorrow's outing... See ya then!

M.Jay

Cancelled

2008-03-22T11:49:00.002+08:00

Sorry guys, the outing tonight is CANCELLED.

We will stage another one next time, probably when its the holidays for the under-grads. Till then...

And sorry pEg, gotta make you go cancel the booking for Chevrons. Appreciate the effort though. And to the rest, hope this cancellation is timely enough for you to make other plans for tonight. Once again, sorry for the screw up.

Summary of Response...

Can Make It:
1. M.Jay
2. pEg
3. shiyin
4. hj
5. jian
6. rong
7. den
8. mui

Yet To Response:
1. Siewyu
2. Delon
3. Chay

Can't Make It:
1. Lun

We have a substantial number of people, but not really fantastic enough. At least now we know the strength is about 8 / 12 for Saturday. Ladies and gentlemen, like me, I am sure that we miss each other and its been long. Help spread the word around to our yet-to-respondees and encourage Ah Lun to join us. We promise we will wait for you no matter how late you join us.

As for the "bottle of something", that can be ignored if we want to keep it low cost. Everyone get a "shot of something" for fun also can, but that can be even more "un-economical". All this can be discussed later, but we need good attendance first. :)

M.Jay

Meet-Up Proposal

2008-03-18T20:32:00.002+08:00

In an attempt to revive this page from the dead, and to swat some of those mosquitoes that has infested this page, I am here to propose an outing to Chevrons this Saturday.

Its been some time since we sang, and we haven't been to Chevrons since Chinese New Year. I am putting this up early, because I am hopeful for a good attendance. Or at least a "I cannot make it" tag on the chatbox, so we can judge if we should drop the plan or not. So here's the rough idea:

Where: Chevrons

When: Saturday, 22nd March 2008, 2000H to 0000H

What: Sing, Talk, Drink (optional, and if the attendance is good and supportive, can consider opening a bottle of something.)

Why: To catch up, to vent out the singing itch, to enjoy with friends, to let me toast your a drink.

Who: Everyone in this group

How: Make an effort to be there.

Let me see the support on the chatbox, or you can SMS me for suggestions, more details, or any other reasons. Can or cannot, please let me know because its easier to decide "go ahead" or "abort plan". Thank you for your response.

M.Jay

2008-02-27T13:09:00.002+08:00

Yeah, kudos to the guys who organise this chevrons gambling chalet. It's fun and a nice gathering~! =)

And sorry to Delon, Jian, Lun and Huijie (forgot to mention cause he wasn't playing, haha) for my pms-ing. Haha. I hope i controlled it all rather well. The feeling is kind of terrible when you are having a bloated tummy, and not sleeping at the time of 3am plus.

Omg i guess i'm so addicted now. Another game at my place this Sun? Wahaha.

Chalet

2008-02-21T20:58:00.003+08:00

Hey hey!Cant believe I still manage to log in. =)

The chalet is confirmed and the details are as follows:

Venue : Chevrons
Date : 25th February
Check-in-timing : 2pm

Gathering from the details you guys have provided in the tagboard, Mak,Peggen & Shiyin will join us after work/lesson. Chay and Siewyu cant make it and there's no response from Desmond and Muihwee. Myself,Delon,Den,Huijie,Jianwei & Yirong will be meeting 2pm at Chevrons to check in. Activities wise, we'll have mahjong & poker cards, and probably KTV and Bowling. Nothing much to bring,just that we need to borrow mahjong tiles from Peggen/Shiyin.I'll ask Den to collect from either of you(thnx in advance!).Poker cards we can bring.Those who can stay may consider bring extra set of clothes. And most importantly, all respective Bfs & Gfs are invited to the chalet as well! That's about it, see you guys on next monday!

Plans for Chalets?

2008-02-21T18:12:00.003+08:00

So.. Is the chalet confirmed?

Any news about the chalet - Who brings what? What time to meet? Activities? Attendance?

Operation Huat-ed

2008-02-09T09:05:00.000+08:00

Operation Huat was a success, with many thanks to Siew Yu, and those who managed to be there. Specially like to thank Jian for staying till way past dinner time, making his mum wait at home for him. This would not have been a great gathering with all who were present, and might be even better if those who were absent could have been present.

Nonetheless, we can still have many more outings next time. Someone with a venue can just organise another soon.

Was a great one with laughters and good memories. Eh, this is one of the rare times I win money from gambling. Rat Year good for me!

M.Jay

Operation Huat

2008-02-08T08:25:00.000+08:00

We now have something firm. With some help from Weilun and Siew Yu, we now have a time and a place. Since they have volunteered and put in the effort to help, I sincerely believe everyone must try to make it, alright? It's going to be yet another great new year gathering!

Battleplans: Operation Huat

Rendevous at: Bukit Batok MRT Station, at 6pm.
Time: 6.15pm
Target: Siew Yu's House - Address unknown. Awaiting intelligence report.
Bring: Oranges, Snacks and most importantly Ghim Tuns!

Please try to make it, people!

Any other changes, please SMS me. I going out now, won't be having internet on me. Thanks.

M.Jay

Our Next Battleplan?

2008-02-07T20:00:00.001+08:00

I just talked to Chay on MSN, and it seems like I misunderstood his intentions on the chatbox. I thought (and maybe you did too) that he was going to get another gathering happening within this 2 weeks, during the New Year season. Turn out, it seems he was not even intending it to be within this month.

We need an alternative, if we want another gathering within New Year season. We got to get a place, simple food, drinks, poker cards and/or mahjong.

With my ferocious dog at home, I can't offer a venue. But, I suggest we make use of this long weekend and put our gathering on Saturday night or Sunday night (9th or 10th Feb). Drinks and food can just be whatever left over new year snacks, plus the good old Calbees, Jack & Jills and Twisties. Poker cards shouldn't be a problem and MJ tables should be a common thing in most of your houses I assume. And since I don't have a place to offer, I can't be the one to "invite", which means I can't set a date and time for the occassion.

Once we have anything firm, just blog it here and drop me a SMS. I will be glad to help out with the organising and "word spreading". See if we can get this up and going in the next few hours.

Last but not least, Happy New Year! Hope everyone can get to enjoy great wealth and marvellous wealth this year!! May this be a smooth flowing year for all!!! HUAT AR!!!

M.Jay

Aborting Mission

2008-01-30T20:48:00.000+08:00

Sorry fellow Generals, I have to apologise.

I can't attend the steamboat this weekend. Because the family reunion dinner has changed to a reunion lunch. I won't be free from morning till about 4pm, estimated.

I have to pull out of the gathering. You all enjoy.

(Sian)

M.Jay

Chevs

2008-01-27T22:41:00.000+08:00

It was one hell of a crazy night on Saturday. In a rare and successful impromptu gathering, successful defined as "plan not cancelled", Chevrons was organised in less than 2 hours.

A pity that the attendance couldn't be better, as abscene of lucky Chay and Cherry was sorely missed. Well, lucky because the two of them already have 2Cs out of 5. Work hard Chay, get the little more Cs out soon and I can't wait to see our kids play together. Haha! Okay, I know the 5Cs joke ain't funny - I just thought of it only. But, yeah, the point is we didn't have Chay's oldies that night. Candid Queen, Rong, was also missed for her trademark "rugged" laughters, which always comes with her trademark "palm-pressing-against-her-mouth-slightly-too-late action". See Rong? I've always been noticing you. HJ's usual list of Jay Chou's wasn't up the screen, Lun wasn't there to contribute to the jokes, and Den could only join us for supper thereafter. Delon was busy with national duties, and Mui is about to be charged AWOL since the "rugged" chalet. I assure you, that is a one time mis-hit. Jian won't book those chalets again.

It was a great night. I had fun. And I just can't forget how the girls were crazy over Chinese New Year songs, and how Right Here Waiting had meaningless mandarin lyrics.

I didn't manage to capture Yin's wilder moment during the singing, because I was shaking too hard laughing. This is 10 times milder than the climax of the night. Published with permission from Yin herself.

Week's starting. More work. But reward's a long weekend. Endure!

Operation Pre-Huat

2008-01-26T13:15:00.000+08:00

Date: 3rd Feb 2008 (Sunday)
Time: 1200H onwards
Attire: Casual
Bring: Money for food and activities, tidbits, anything entertaining
Remember: No oranges yet.

Peggen will settle the food, right? So, we leave it up to you. Thanks.

I should be able to drive those teck whye guys. So, same as before, we can meet at Jian Wei's void deck. So, HJ, Lon and Xia, you can meet there too. I can make a trip to Yirong's house too, if you want. We fix the time to meet later. I can take 7 legally at the back, so I think that should be about just nice.

Thats it. One more week to D-Day.

M.Jay

Alright alright, let the majority decide though. Till then~! =)

Love,
Miss Dang, and those in red updated by M.Jay on 25 Jan, 2320H.

Operation Pre-Huat

2008-01-22T14:41:00.000+08:00

Brigadier General Peg has issued a change of battle plans. And so far, only General Rong and General Shiyin has commented on the below issues. I have issued orders for an independant commission to investigate on why the rest of the other commanders have kept quiet and not responded. Be reminded, "Absent Without Official Leave" will result in a demotion to the rank of slaves, and condemned to the "Labour Party" for 2 years - which entitles you to all available "sai kang" in any events. Be warned, fellow Generals.

Fellow comarades, I am agreeable with abolishing Operation Pee Pee, since Comarade Rong has other missions at her hands. And Comarade Peg's pre-emptive reunion dinner sounds like a pretty good plan. For one, I am sure we do not want to find ourselves WMDs during the meal. (WMDs - Without Many Delicacies, which includes the marine biological prawns, the chemically simulating squids, and the nuclear-like taste of sambal kangkongs.)

However, we do have many problems for this mission. Firstly, we have yet to decide on the D-Day. Comarade Shiyin has voiced her concerns over 3rd Feb, and is proposing 2nd Feb. We will work on this two dates, and see the majority's choice. The others will just have to make it on the decided date, or risk being charged AWOL. Secondly, I presume there's going to be an Advance Party who will be preparing the food - buy, wash and cut etc. We need to decide on that, as well as the budget available. I have checked with the Ministry of Finance, (a.k.a Singapore Pools) and they have denied any grants for us this mission. Generals, we have to work something out of our pockets.

I, hereby, codename this mission, Operation Pre-Huat - a prelude to Operation Huat, which we can still have minus the steamboat. Operation Huat can be at Den's place, where he can den set up his little den, and den get some beer in cans, pizzas in pans, switch on the aircons and fans, and we will all laugh so much till we pant. But Den, please don't make us lose till we shit in our pants.

Here's the skinny:
Battleplans - Operation Pre-Huat

Date: 2nd or 3rd Feb (Tell me on the chatbox which is your preferred date)
Time: 1pm till Mak wins enough cash
Attire: Casual - can't bring oranges yet, because it ain't officially CNY yet. Bad omen to celebrate it earlier.
Budget: $15/head for food and drinks. Drinks would be the main bulk, on my estimate. Prawns are going to cost nearly $15/kg during that period.
Food buying: Guys (buy the food and bring it over to Peg's house)
Food Prep and House Prep: Girls (Make sure the house does not even have a speck of dust, and make sure the steamboat is working.)

Comarades, I need your reply soon. Or General Peg will have my head soon.

M.Jay

3rd Feb reunion lunch

Hey guys, after a discussion with Shiyin last night, I have a change of proposal to our CNY steamboat.

Shall we have it on 3rd Feb (Sunday), the weekend before CNY instead. Like a pre reunion dinner kinda thing. But we will have a extended lunch instead. Means from like 1pm till probable evening?

Firstly, and most importantly, I realized that steamboat on the 3rd day of CNY is a major marketing issue. Not the consumer behavior, target audience kind of marketing but the “uncle I buy kangkong you give me free spring onion” kind of marketing. If we have it on chu 3 means all marketing has to be done before chu xi before everyone stops working and it is a big problem cos missy is working now so no time to mai cai on Monday and Tuesday. And if I buy on the weekends, all the hei and sotong wouldn’t be fresh by the following week. So if we have it on 3rd Feb, I have Saturday to do marketing and to clean up my house. And all the hei and hee will still be fresh.

Secondly, I have a hunch that operation pee pee is not realizing this weekend, judging from the response, so on 3rd Feb we can present Chay his royal scroll as well. Sounds like an idea?

Since it is a reunion dinner, I hope everyone can turn up. Delon please say you can come. And all partners are invited as well cos Shiyin can’t wait to meet Wanqi. So everyone whose faces are on the left, plus Wanqi, Cherry, Heyi, Derik, Andrew, Shuxia, Zhichang, Chan Howe, Den’s yet to intro new girlfriend, Chay’s er nai and Mak’s xiao lao po, All come all come.

If in full force we should have close to 20 people, so you guys have to jiang jiu yi dian with my humble 4 room flat. We definitely wouldn’t be able to all sit and eat together but we can go in rounds, the rest can gamble and chit chat watch TV etc. My living room should be able to fit a mahjong table, and my tea table can be used to play cards. Wah.. I am totally imagining already!

Need someone to help me collate attendance and get back to me cos like I said, missy working now and my location is not fixed (not sure if I have internet access in the day, depending on where I am) and kinda lazy to come online at night.

I shall let Mak do the honour since he is so free (I think). Thanks Jiayuan!! Your dateline is this coming Sunday to report to me so I can plan the rest. Chase, beg, hound, do whatever you need.
In a rush to go,
Peggen

Operation Pee Pee

2008-01-19T17:19:00.000+08:00

Its time for another operation together, ladies and gentlemen. After Operation Ubin, we have yet to see one another, and the next big one would be Operation Huat, which comprises of the steamboat at Peg's place. Lets have one more prior to Operation Huat. And this is the proposal:

Battleplans: Operation Pee Pee

Operation Pee Pee will involve two fiercely intensive physical event that will take place in the same day - paddle and pedal.

We could have a weekend, likely to be a Saturday, and we can all ride it out to Sentosa, or anywhere else to canoe and ride or rollerblade. Next Sat could be an option if everyone is up to it. Transport could be of the same arrangement as Ubin. Venue is still an open option, anyone any suggestions? We could also have a picnic of potluck at the same time. Bring a volleyball or soccer ball and we have our games settled. A deck of good old trusty poker cards can also do the trick.

I will be awaiting the feedback from you, generals and commanders.

(Pardon the lingo, its the side effects from my latest PC entertainment "Medal of Honour: Pacific Assault - its a great game though.)

Please Type A Message

2008-01-10T12:18:00.000+08:00

Is there something wrong with our chatbox?

Why does it keep telling me to "Please type a message" whenever I click 'Go' or press 'Enter'?

Anyway, I also know who Rong is talking about. His CCA is BB, but his initials are GB.

Lifes like that sometimes.

M.Jay

Very De Bored.

2008-01-07T20:17:00.000+08:00

Those university undergraduates are back in university.

Those working are, as usual, still working.

Those doing their interns are still interns.

Those slacking and looking for job, are still. Opps, sorry. Not "those", because there IS only me.

And yes, am still slacking and looking for a job.

Tell me when you people are free, I, shall volunteer to organise something. Maybe a sentosa volleyball as some of us talk about before. Maybe another Den on a free weekend. And Den here means both his name "Den", and also the "den" that means a little hidden shelter. Now we know why Den is so talented in his Den. His name has already won half the battle. Well then, we can get Den to get us a Den, then we can on some music and try to Dance, invite our songbird miss Dang, and then.. then.. then.. then..

Alright, I am bored.

Let me try to impress. Anybody remember Avogadro's Constant? This is Chemistry, my favourite subject. This is the number of atoms/molecules that is present in a mole. That means in 1 mole of element, like say Hydrogen, there is that constant number of hydrogen atoms. And that constant is 6.02 x (10 to the power of 23). Please look impressed.

At least thats easier than Maths. Please, let there not be maths in my course of study in NTU for the next 4 years. Don't care whether core, or elective, please don't ask me to intergrate, differentiate. Or else I will dis-intergrate the lecturer until he cannot even differentiate his toes from his nose. If anyone tries to make me do a dx/dy again, I will just go right to his face and rap him a rap, "De feet of de duck went over de fence before de tail." And I got more de- words in my head than just defeat, deduct, defence and detail.

Damn. I should have tried this on Susan Leong.

Ubin AAR

2007-12-31T11:31:00.000+08:00

Hello da jia, is anyone's pi gu hurting as much as mine? I dunno how to describe which part of the pigu is damn painful, but there's this part of my pigu without much flesh, and everytime I go cycling for hours, that part will feel like kena punched by someone. Abit of bruised feeling. My poor pigu. And I can't walk down the stairs properly leh. Like some ah ma lor. Next time before we go, inform me 1 month in advance so I can go train up k??

Anyway rong dont worry, I went through all the 180plus photos of yesterday. Not that bad lah. Still can marry. Some quite natural one, can show your natural beauty. Hahaha. zi ran mei shi zui mei!

I thought yesterday was fun. Super tiring, hate the sweaty mixed with repellent niam niam feeling and quite dirty but still fun. But not once a week lah rong. We will die leh. I can just imagine how bruised my ass will be. Once every 3-6 months sounds more like it.

The weather was super cooperative too! Only started to drizzle a little on the way home. You know those gross water marks drizzles leave on your car, esp a black car. With 3 little birds who marched past and decided to do some big business on my car as well.

Eh Mak, I have a plan. Since you were worrying about mud in your van as well. Next time we should organise post-trip-activities like car washing. Take it as an act of gratitude for the transport and some form of bonding. Idea? Haha.

Haiya I am bored lah. SIANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. 40 mins to knock off. Woohooo.

Have a great start to 2008 guys!

Good day today! Ubin has been a success!

Facebook, or my internet, seems to be having some problems at this moment, and for the past 30 minutes. My back is aching and I need to go take a break. I shall try to upload whatever little and 3.2 megapixels photos I have tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, rest well and drink plenty of water.

Battle Plans - Updated

2007-12-29T13:31:00.000+08:00

Hello guys, sorry for confusing you guys. Heehee. The listing remains the same, just that I will be late. Guys, a disclaimer, I will be late! Here goes my own battle plan for tomorrow.

It totally slipped my mind that the boyfriend in on 24 hour shift tonight and will end shift at 9am.

So the plan now is I will leave my house at 9am with my jazzy baby, take a 15 min drive down to TAB to pick him up, and say hello to Delon if he is there. 15min just nice for him to pack up and walk out to TAB main gate.

Then it will take another 5 mins to drive back to his place, I will drop him to get his stuff, then go pick Yirong. Yirong please be on standby mode by 915 and once I activate you with a ring on your handphone you will make your way downstairs and meet me and my jazzy baby by the road.

After that we will go back and pick up the boyfriend, change drivers so I can sleep and chill, hopefully all this is done by 930.

Then head down for Siewyu. We will call you to let you know when you need to come down. Will pick you from where I dropped you the other time. Hopefully Siewyu will be comfortably in my car by 10am.

He says he think that we can reach the jetty by 10.30am. Roads will be clear. He knows the way well.

So in order not to hold up everyone else, the people in Mak's van can go have their breakfast, assuming you guys reach at 10 punctually. And the people in my car will eat at home. And to make a concession, I allow little bites in my car. Means things like bread, sandwiches, biscuit. Don't da bao beehoon or nasi lemak in lah k? And PLEASE try not to drop your bread crumps or anything or spill your milk or orange juice. Spotting a roach in my car might mean losing my life in an attempt to end the roach's life. You certainly wouldn't want that to happen, do you? *innocent act cute blink*

So, if everything goes according to plan, and you guys can wallop your breakfast by 1030, we will be heading towards the queue at the jetty and woohoo Pulau Ubin here the gang comessss!

We have 11 people. There's one more space in my car and one more space in the boat. So if Delon, Shiyin, Mui, Den decides to come, give me a ring by tonight. Or if Andrew or Derik decides to join the gang in some fun, the respective girlfriends let me know and due to time constraint, as long as I don't have to make another trip to elsewhere to pick him, I am totally cool.

Alrighty guys, the rest of you who are not mentioned ie Chay, Cherry, Weilun, Jianwei, Huijie, please be at Blk 115 at 9am SHARP! If anyone is disgustingly late (meaning happen to wake up only at 9am), I can go pick that person up in order not to hold up the rest. But there's only one space, so first come first serve. Second person can take the boot if he wish. If you miss the second round of transport too then I am afriad you have to meet us there. 20bucks might be enough for a cab ride. I say might. Someone can do the test and let me know. :)

I will give the people in my car a morning call slightly before 9 to ensure that they are up. I will be up by 815 or 830. So anyone else who needs a morning call, you can sms me to activate this one time service.

Thats about it. Remember to pack your repellent, water, money. Handphones and cameras in ziplock bag. Bring your cap or shades if you wish. I suggest bringing a small umbrella ella ella eh eh or poncho in your bag, just in case. Bring a set of clean clothes for change too. Go for backpack or pouches, avoid sling bag.

What else?

Not the first time we are going Ubin anyway. This is getting too naggy. Heee. I will be bringing camera lah, you guys can don't bring. My photos will be on facebook within 24hours most of the time. Speaking of which, siewyu where's our chalet photoss?????????

See you guys tomorrow row row row row.

Battle Plans: Transport

2007-12-28T07:36:00.000+08:00

Okay, I presume Chay is not going to make me and my girl separate by putting her on Peg's car right? Haha! Well, neither will I separate you and your partner by making you two take different transport. And just to confirm, I didn't see Shiyin's name on the list, is she going?

Anyway, correct me if I am wrong, but here's the Trasnport Plan:

Group A: Mak, M's girl, Jianwei, Weilun, Chay, Chay's girl and Huijie.

Group B: Peggen, ChanHao, Siewyu, Yirong (and Shiyin?)

If the above is correct, then here's my plan for my side:

I will pick up Jianwei, Weilun, Chay, Cherry and Huijie...

At Jianwei's Void-deck... So that if he is late we can go and tear down his door. Haha!

At 9am. 9am because max legal speed is 70km/h. So be at Blk 115, nearest LRT is Keat Hong, just opposite the Esso petrol kiosk by the road.

Any objections or suggestion can call me or SMS me. If all's agreeable, put something up by the chatbox to let me know the plan is on. By the way, the part about tearing J.Lim's door down is purely a joke. Seriously, leopard can change spots. He is seldom late nowadays. *Pat on the back* Keep it up Jonathan! Haha.

Merry Xmas!

2007-12-25T17:28:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas to all!

Whoa, planning for Chinese New Year at this time is really fore-fore-foresight. Haha! But at least now we all know what date to keep free. Something, is always better than nothing. I will do my best to keep that evening free. Great, yet another gathering!

As for the Ubin cycling, we first need a date. I can't work out anything without a date. Weekends shouldn't be a problem for the van, provided the old horse don't break down. The rear can legally hold 7 backsides, so should be more than enough for us since Peg is gonna drive too. Hit me last minute with a date for the outing and chances are I probably have to abort, because my girl is clearing her leave these days, meaning I have to plan program till next year. Chay, or whoever is planning this one, try to give me 1 or 2 days in advance notice via SMS, just in case I don't come here.

The year 2007 is left with just a handful of days. Make this year meaningful if you haven't already done so. Settle whatever outstanding things, set resolutions and enjoy the remaining of 2007. It ain't coming back again, you know.

M.Jay

CHINESE NEW YEAR

2007-12-25T10:42:00.000+08:00

Yes, you read it right. Before I begin, MERRY CHRISTMAS once again!

I know Chinese New Year is one and a half month's time, but no harm planning ahead. If there's gonna be something, steamboat or anything at my place, its gonna be on chu 3, 9 Feb (saturday) so keep it free first ok, just in case.

I am on for Ubin cycling and the boyfriend wants to go and play with his Sony toy too. And that means there's confirm going to be 3 spaces in the car available, on a first come first serve basis. Call now to avoid disappointment! Mak, you driving? It will solve alot of logistics and punctuality issues if you can get your van.

Chay, your call now. What time are we supposed to report at the jetty? Make it happen! And pray for the sun!

Elementary, My Dear Watson

2007-12-21T22:09:00.003+08:00

I have solved the case of "Lun's Missing Sleeping Bag Cover"!

On the 16th this month, at around 9am in the morning, Weilun exclaimed a loss of his sleeping bag cover. It was said to be dark blue in colour, with a black nylon string as a fasterner and a carrier. After a thorough search of the entire chalet, the group could not explain how the bag has disappeared into thin air.

Prime suspects, based on the 2 principles: Motive, and the Ability to carry it out.

Mui Hwee. After Friday night, where her sleeping bag has been possessed by M.Jay, she has naturally become more defensive and possessive of her belongings. And in the cold, hard floor of the chalet, her sleeping bag's value trippled that of what she paid for it suddenly. With her sleeping bag being a similar colour as Lun's, she could have taken it by mistake - and with her sleeping in the same corner as Lun, she easily could have.

HJ. He spent a cold Saturday night on the floor, despite sleeping next to Lun. Lun has offered to share the bag, but HJ turned him down. Lun enjoyed warmth and comfort that night, making it possible that HJ could have turned nasty in the middle of the night and harboured evil thoughts. It didn't take him long for him to put a plan together. At daybreak, HJ could have sneak the cover into his pockets, then using Rong as an alibi, dump the cover outside the chalet with the pretext of getting roti prata, knowing that Lun would never search every dustbin in Bukit Batok.

Alright, I am just joking there. No offense to anyone. I am just bored and decided to let my imagination run abit wild. I used to wanna join the Police Force when I was young, you know. Haha!

The culprit: M.Jay. On hanging my jacket back into the wardrobe, I saw a blue fabric dropped on the floor. Then I realised that Lun's sleeping bag cover was with me the whole while! He was sleeping where my bag was, and with the black jacket, black bag, and dark blue cover, I could have dumped everything into my bag and left the chalet. It didn't strike me to fling open the jacket to look for the cover at the chalet, and I know I should bloody had done that. Keke.

The lost has been returned to the owner today. Washed and cleaned, with my jacket of course, I hope I have value added Lun's sleeping bag cover. Next time when I need to share sleeping bag, I know who to ask now. *Wink* And next time, if anyone is missing anything, I will ensure that the rest will perform a "standby-luggage" - the military style of pouring everything out from your bag and laying it out for inspection. Even a packet of tissue must be stripped clean!

And so, the case has been solved. Its not Mui. Not HJ. Its me.

Haha! M.Jay going mad. Anyway, I think J.Lim can't make it on Sunday as he got tuition. 30 Dec is a Sunday. How?

Who's talking about LEAVING? Yes hei dan, no one is allowed to leave.

Okay lar, no worries everyone. Everything is fine and alright now. =)

No emo, no hard feelings now. We're all 21 years old. Aiyo i think those blog hoppers might be laughing to themselves now mann.

Peace now. I will take note of my behaviours next time, maybe to treat you guys with a distance now. No more feelings of comfy and zi zai. These cause troubles. -_-

Anyway, when's our next meet-up? Someone organise pls. This sat all free for chevrons?

Love,

seeing so many writing about your feelings and thoughts, i too, have an urge to voice out. =)

honestly, i dun feel that im close to any of you guys anymore, i know how much i've allowed myself to drift away from this gang.

some of you might know why, some of you might think its nothing. but honestly the reason im away from you guys, come largely from you guys. and i wish, i seriously wish things wouldn't be the way it is.

cos to me, you guys have always been a part of my life that i never wanted to miss out. i had so much so much with you guys, right from the start, where gatherings are mostly held at my Yew Tee home, at Delon's place, the study room etc etc.

some memories along the way became vague to me.. cos i drifted away. and i only stayed close to those few who's been beside me. i dunno how to communicate with you guys, for a period of time, i only allowed myself to come and go, come and go. or don't turn up at all, cos its really awkward for me. i was hurt, super hurt, and i can only go away.

but however, ultimately, this is still a gang of friends whom i strongly believe it is meant to last, till our marriage, till we have kids in the future. i can picture that. =)

and though i might know little of some of you, i long that i could know more, and i long that i can be honest and share with you guys openly again. you guys refering to EVERYONE. i long to talk to Mak about his dreams and future, about his dog. i long to talk to Lun more abt his life and tuition students and his school, i long to know more abt Chay n Cherry, i long to understand what Den is thinking, hoping that he will open up. i long to share with Peg abt my life, i long to talk to Mui Hwee about boy problems, i long to step into Hui Jie's life more.

i just wish i can be so much more open with you guys! its painful to be just a .... participant. i wish i can put as much as efforts as Mak or Peg or Shiyin who's been doing a lot of organising for us this few years... of cos everybody played a part somewhere, somewhat. everyone is so important in here. yet i feel like im just a participant whereby, with or without me it doesnt make a difference.

this isn't an emo post. hahaha. im just being honest about my thoughts and hope you guys can know. =)

i seriously care about this group of friends, if it seems like i dint, im sorry for the lack of efforts. putting the past aside, i hope i can know each of you once again... =)))

thanks for being part of this gang. thank you everybody. Merry Christmas!

with Love,
yu~

It's good to have some happy and funny memories to think back when you're feeling unhappy.

Till now, i can still smile at the thought of the games played and silly events which happened during the gang chalet.

Some highlights:

1) Mak's look on his face when he woke up finding no one around in the big hall room.

2) 'Super clever' Lun to stand and shout 'SUPERMAN' while playing heart attack.

3) Idiotic Jian scratching his chest during heart attack.

4) Drunkard HJ before DXO.

5) Crazy Chay bringing 'niak' and his terroist cover.

6) Twice attacks on Jian's nipples with Chay's niak.

7) The 'sexual' attack on Chay's nipple by Jian. (Chay seems to be enjoying every moment of it)

8) The 'Wu Zong Xian' game which caused much laughters.

9) 'Creative' qns asked by Mak during pressie exchange. (the 1st qn was asking about lun's index no. in pri sch!)

10) The stupid 'ai mei' song sang to yu.

I can't recall all now. But definitely there'll be some more.

These should be kept in the heart actually. However, I just hope when i read these archives back the next time, i will be smiling 'sillily' to the screen again. =)

AGGRESSIVELY DIFFERENT

2007-12-17T15:10:00.000+08:00

Man has always loved aggression. Our species, right from the years of the caveman era, has enjoyed the blood rush of anger, the adrenaline gush from the fury and the kick from striking fear in others' hearts. Deep inside everyone's body, there is always this switch that can twitch your senses up to high alert, get you up and eager, focusing your intense concentration at a place immediately - Aggression.

We make spiders fight each other in match boxes. We watch crickets fight in glass jars. We cheer when roosters peck each other blind in fighting pens. We don't get satisfied till we see one of the two fighting dogs sink their jaws into the other's neck. We boast about the fighting fish that never lost a fight, tainting the water red with the weaker's blood.

Tickets sales record are made when Liverpool plays Manchester United. Simply because we know these two teams will play extra hard. We know the fans will cheer extra loud. We know something controversial always happen - players would lash a kick at rival fans, someone would spit at the rival manager, a team might just surround a referee and abuse him, rival fans could start a riot in the stands. And we love watching it happen.

We love to see artistes going for each other's neck - remember the Slim10 lawsuit? We would either sit back and enjoy the outcome, smiling away. Or we would take sides and show our support. Join in the aggression, and still love watching it happen.

Here's a reason why no one should be walking away from this gang. Here's a reason why the people in this gang should never try to be hurtful to one another. Here's a reason why no one in the gang has the right to show bad attitude and be pissed about anything. And I'll tell you why:

This gang is different. Like a pack of wolves, a herd of elephants, a flock of geese - we don't fight our own. Some of us handle it better than the rest, but we should always try to perfect it. Increasing the volume is body language for "Shut up and submit to me." Showing a black face and walking away alone is challenging "Damn, I need better company." And we all know who have been guilty of these actions.

We all have, at times.

But, we need to outgrow it. See, life never stops. We are all moving on so rapidly that it makes secondary school days seems so long ago, painfully long at times. We meet like 4 times a year, and it doesn't help if we want to be aggressive every time we meet. There is no "top dog" within us. We don't need a proper, defined "leader". There is no lead actors or supporting actresses. Everyone shares the pole position, and everyone shares the limelight.

J.Lim winces and frowns in pain whenever there is a dispute within. Mui lowers her glance silently, confused and concerned. Lun will plead in his mind for peace to return quickly. Mak tries to diffuse the conflict by being the fool. Chay comes in with one-liners to attract some anger to himself with the intent to ease the tension. These are some examples, but of course, everyone in the group has their own way to contribute. And I must say, we should be glad that no one is standing around and cheering. No one is adding fuel to the fire and trying to fan the flames.

That, is reason enough, I hope.

We don't need a leader in the group to lead us in the right direction. We all know where that is. Knowing Lun's primary school index number, the date Rong hurt herself and Yu's street number is a step in the right direction. All that selflessness of HJ and Rong getting breakfast for everyone else is another. Volunteering pots and pans from her own home is just how Yin has made her contribution to the right direction too. Driving home those bulky items and storing them in her own home is Peg steering in too. See?

Say NO to aggression. If you FRIEND, don't FIGHT. If you see any aggressive articles, please inform M.Jay, or call "Mak, Mak, Mak".

Remember, you don't need to see Mak gone in a dragon boating accident before this gang can get together again. Cherish this friendship. You never know when it might be gone forever.

M.Jay
(who else writes this long?)

A long emo and meaningful post. Kudos to Peg.

Many events had indeed happened within this gang. Regardless of whether it's unhappiness, happiness, anger, disappointment, etc.

But, how do we feel the real happiness when there's no downs at all? Okay abit out of link i know. I just wanna stress on that, no matter how disappointed or angry you feel towards some certain people in this gang, it should end with a 'forgive and forget' mindset since we had all grown up. And of course, true friendship doesn't come so easily.

However, sometimes when you're reprimanding someone about his/her mistake, do think of your own too. Because when no one reprimands you about your mistake, it doesn't mean that you've never made one before. Not pin-pointing at whoever now, it's just my point of view and frankly, i'm still at the learning stage for this too.

One thing i have to say is, i really feel very comfortable and zi zai with the gang everytime and anywhere! I can stop acting like a shu nv when i'm with you guys. I can talk as dirty as i can too. Hahaha. And I feel really glad to be part of this gang. =) And as i can vividly remember, i was one of the last few to join this gang. I never regret bugging rong to ask me along for every outing back then. (",)

Regarding this chalet, personally i had my share of fun and i really enjoyed all the silly yet fun games in the big hall room. Hoping for more to come. =)

Love you guys!

Love,
Shiyin

Precious Moments

2007-12-16T20:57:00.001+08:00

Our very first chalet in June 2003 @ Downtown East.

Newton Chalet on 23 Dec 2005

14 Dec 2007 Home Team NS rugged chalet

And the lack of photos does not mean we forget the other time at Downtown East (raspberry vodka) and the one at Changi, cycling at Ubin, the one I will never forget, the super ulu and haunted one and the very pathetic camping at Sentosa with heavy downpour and sleeping in the toilet.

Since 2003, this is our 6th chalet. A little maths tells me that its 1.2 times per year. And a little simple statistics tells me that this is the clique I have "slept" most with.

And without fail, chalets always leave some of us feeling happy, high, angry, pissed, emo, sad. Things usually happen during, or after chalets, at least I thought. Through the years, chalets also make me know my friends in this gang better. I know who snores, who you can't disturb when they are sleeping, who slacks, who works, who cares, who doesn't, who will automatically do what they need to do, who will do what they need to do when pushed, to whom pushing doesn't help, who are the silent angels, who are the ones whom I can depend on, who can't drink and the list goes on.

There were so many times, I wanted to walk out of this gang. The reason I changed my picture to the one on the left, some time back, was to signify some form of walking away. Haha, abit childish, I know. There were times I wanted to just totally remove myself but somehow, somewhat, the deities up there stopped me from doing it.

So many significant things in my life has happened within this gang. First was the trialathon with Mak and eventhough it was my third so-called relationship, it was when I learnt about love and what giving your all to someone you care was all about. Then I had Den who was willing to give me his all and pamper me like a princess but I eventually had to let down. Including the respective break ups, that totalled to 8 significant events in my life.

Relationship aside, wars made up another sector of Peg's significant events in life. The war with Mak was one big influence to walk away. In fact I think you top the chart for being the one who appeared most in my significant events in life. Then came Yirong. And I really really wanted to leave this gang for good because, at that time, I didn't see any point in being part of this anymore and I feel that I do not deserve all this shit when I put in so much effort in this gang. There are way too many bad memories embedded in this clique that I really really wanted to leave and not be involved in anything anymore.

Those factors, together with bad responses for outings and pangsehing, was the reason I stopped being active to just take a back seat. And the reason I took a back seat instead of leaving was probably similar to why a lot of people hold on to relationships eventhough they have this and that problem - 放不下.

Because of those 3 words, I have slipped from a lead actress in this gang, to just a supporting actress (ok, watching star awards now lah), but I am glad to still be part of it. Let's imagine that the gang gives me a star award, I really want to thank all of you (台前幕后）for giving me this chance to be part of you guys. You guys made me learn so much about handling relationship (and I am still learning). You guys gave me the leadership opprtunity to lead, to instruct and to plan. So I really thank you guys for accepting this out-of-nowhere-netball-girl. If you notice, I am the only non-NPCC-choir person in the gang. And I would like to thank the person whom brought me into this gang. You are the only one who missed my birthday speech about how grateful I am to you for this gang of friends. Without you, I will not be here, going for chalets every year, having the chance to train my vocals, having people I can trust to help in my family business, having people whom I know I can depend on and obviously, if not for you, I will not be here saying all these. Thank you Mak! Not gay, FF!

I would also like to thank the people whom are always there for me.

This innocent girl Yirong whom genuinely feel happy for me when I know some of my friends don't. The one whom I could call at any hour to cry to when the above-mentioned made me cry. The one whom will always say nice things in an attempt to make me feel better. If not for you, I will never survive that period of time, and I will probably be seeing a shrink. It is one of my greatest regret that we are no longer on each other's speed dial and I can't be there for you like how you used to be here for me. And everytime I read about how you thank your friends for standing by you and being there for you, I feel a tinge of pain and regret that I can't do the same to you. But I am still glad that you are the one whom I can tell whats the immediate thing troubling me when the situation arises. (in the car)

And of course, ShiYin, one of the best companions I can ever have. You will not believe how appreciative I felt when you were the one whom I ended up talking to when I really really felt like shit, felt so bad and did not know who to turn to. I know I am weird in a sense that even when I am desperate for someone to listen to me, I am still choosy about who that pair of ears could be. That night when I did not think that you were the best person to talk to about the specific topic, you gave me such good feedback and maybe its pure physcological, I really did feel better! Although at times you irritate the hell out of me, I am still glad I can talk to you about so many things and I don't even have to finish my sentence before you know what I really meant and how I really feel. Thanks for being such a good companion.

Overrun. Gotta end my thank you speech.

The truth is, there are times I evaluate the importance of this gang in my life. And to be very honest, your ranking in my life have dropped quite a bit over the years. Every now and then, I tell myself that I have to be understanding and accepting because we have all grown up and we lead very different lives, compared to the school days when our schedules were so similar and we knew what one another was doing at any point in the year. But sadly, the fact that we are all grown up and leading different lifestyles are also why the ranking dropped. There were times I feel a mismatch of frequency, being left speechless about comments made, and not to mention clashes in schedules and being busy with so many different things etc.

Someone, I forgot who, mentioned yesterday that the only constant thing in life is change. Someone else also told me "你以前不是这样的" or something along that line. I can't agree more to it. And as each of us continue to move on in life and change, the gang will change even more. When we all have our families and children, you definitely wouldn't expect that gang to still go for monthly KTV and annually chalets. And you wouldn't expect me to call you and scream at you asking why you are not singing KTV with us when you have 2 children at home waiting to be fed milk and have their diapers changed. You get the idea.

Very sadly, this chalet did not live up to my expectations, it wasn't as fun as how I imagined it to be. Not sure if its worth 12 dollars of taxi and a few bucks of petrol. But whether you see it as fortunately or unfortunately, facing such disappointments is also a skill I picked up and constantly re-teach myself.

To whoever is the leader and organiser for the gang, the trick to stay happy is not to be so uptight about everything.

Easier said than done and I am obvious not perfect in it, but the next thing I want to say is that all of us, no matter where we are and who we are dealing with, should learn emotion management, anger management and possibly PMS management (note "possibly"). Because your emotions affects other people more than how you would think it does and it can be a multiplier effect.

I hope I don't come across as preaching but it would be lovely if we are more appreciative towards what our friends do for us.

Here's a big thank you to: -

ShiYin for the yummy food. BBQ and healthy ai xin soup. For all the effort, taking leave for this chalet, the initiation and organising. Without you this chalet will notbe possible.

Jianwei for booking the chalet! And I just want to redeem him by saying that I was the one who suggested him to get the rugged one instead of the one with bed so that it can accomodate more people and I thought it would be more fun to have that kinda space. The chats and games before we sleep and while we wait and kill time was exactly what I wanted out of the rugged chalet. 有福同享，有难同担。So stop complaining about the hard floor ok!

Mak for coming out with all the arrangements for present exchange. Of course I want to steal abit of credit by saying that I helped in the development of the idea and coming up with some of the questions. Haha! If not who else would Lun's primary school index number and Den's mum's age?!

HuiJie for buying breakfast lunch dinner. You are the sweetest lah!

To everyone in this gang, thanks for being part of my life and thanks for being part of yours. Whether you let out a sigh of disappointment or a heave of relief, I am not walking out of this gang - as of now. Unless something happens again, I am here to stay, whether you like it or not, you will be seeing my face and reading my emowheemo long post which heads nowhere.

Your friend,
Peggen

Kranjians take on the challenge,
to excel in knowledge.
Be creative, and uphold integrity.
Kranjians, we shall be worthy, of nation and family!

Eager to learn, and succeed. We *very fast words* and goodwill.

HAHAHAHA. I am getting abit excited about the chalet. And I amazed myself by thinking of our school song while thinking about party "Back to school" party. And I can remember lyrics! They are correct right??????

Tell me where you get your body from?
I got it from my mama!

Can't wait to party with you all.

peg them up!

Final Battle Plans

2007-12-13T11:22:00.000+08:00

Alright. Looks like we are getting pretty good response! With that overwhelming, majority supportive, response, let's make it happen. The "Wear-A-Kranjian-Thing" project will be on. Confirmed. No doubt. In fact, this piece of garment will be your cover charge / entrance ticket / password to the chalet. If you don't bring anything that has a Kranji logo on it, you shall sponsor more food with your own pocket. Deal.

And let's do a summary of events for those people who are pretty blur on the happenings. Firstly, the chalet is (oh my goodness!) TOMORROW! Please don't forget that the chalet is tomorrow and then turn up next Friday or something. There will be an ADVANCE PARTY going there to check in first, and the party consist of J.Lim, Den, Yin and M.Jay. Our roles are crucial. Between the time of 2pm till when the main bulk of people come, we MUST check in; check that the beds and pillows are sleepable; check that our deck of poker cards are complete; check that whatever entertainment is possible will be possible. Thus, let's all agree to free the advance party from cooking at the BBQ. Deal.

From the look of things, DXO seems to be the venue for Friday night. That will probably last us till morning, and we will probably get wasted till like noon. Hope Yin has got the food up and ready. She has volunteered to marinate the BBQ stuff at her place, another reason why she should not cook at the BBQ, and I think the order has been placed for the rest of the food. J.Lim is bringing some vodka, I am bringing (the hated) Chivas. We also need... Oh boy, this summary is not a summary anymore. Alright, lets sum this up for real:

1. Club Attire. Remember shoes!
2. Your WRAPPED present for the gift exchange.
3. Alcohol, for those who have.
4. Money, for we will try to solve the accounts there and then. Don't drag till next Xmas.
5. Your Kranjian-Thing. Preferably something that will make an impact on camera. Which means that a collar pin the size of my thumbnail will be rejected.
6. Bring whatever damn thing you think can be entertaining. Balls, cards, whips and handcuffs..

Call the advance party if you have any quries:
For information on timing and facilities, please press "Jonathan"
For information on food and beverages, please press "Shiyin"
For information on gift exchange and miscellanous entertainment, please press "Mak"
For information on the babes going and any other things, please press "Den"

Theme!

2007-12-11T19:06:00.000+08:00

Mak Jay has a weird idea here, but needs everyone to participate in order to make it a success. Really everyone. Every, single, one.

Lets give this chalet something special to remember by. And to do this, I suggest we all wear something Kranji on one of the days. Probably BBQ night. I had this inspiration when I was packing my wardrobe and come across this piece of KSS garment that hadn't been worn for years. In fact, that's my last piece of garment from KSS. I have got nothing left to wear to remember Kranji anymore. So I wonder if you people have thrown away those House T-shirts, CCA T-shirts, or whatever piece of garment that tells the world you are from Kranji?

If you are on for the idea, let just see you put your support on the chatbox here, so I can judge whether I wanna bring mine there. Can just imagine us wearing shirts that we used to wear 8 years ago! That gong dai Jian Wei now and then.. The Den in his grey nighthawk with that ti-ko face.. Yirong in her red, and abit "lum nua" Rhino.. Of course, the champions Jaguar have to be me and Miss Peggen! Speaking of which, I clearly remember a few of us guys admiring the sexy netball and basketball (girl's, of course) jersey.. Not to mention the extemely comical NP t-shirt that looks like Starhub promoters.. Haha! In fact, I think I can remember all our houses!!!

Kestrel - Mui Hwee and Jianwei...
Rhino - Chay, Delon, Hui Jie, Yirong, Desmond!
Albatross - No one!
Nighthawk - Weilun, Den, Siewyu
Jaguar - Mak J, Peggen
Ibex - Elaine Dang!

Agreeable, give a shout out. Not agreeable, explain on the chatbox too.. So we know if we should "push" this idea. And these days really always rain in the afternoon till night. We should be prepared.

Mak Jay

GIFT EXCHANGE!

2007-12-08T19:20:00.000+08:00

People.. Its official now. After days of guessing whether it is "on or not", this is the official announcement: The xmas gift exchange will be taking place during our chalet, and it will commence on the BBQ night. Heres the skinny:

Date: 15th Dec (BBQ night)

Budget: S$10 - S$20

Style: Almost like a lucky draw, but with a weird twist. Mak Jay's incharge of that twist.

Participant: The Originals, of course. Girlfriends and boyfriends are optional, which means if they bring a gift, they get a gift.

Must Do: Wrap the gift up before it reaches the chalet. Try to make it unisexual.

Cannot Do: Don't tell people what you bought (duh!) Don't buy food - means no chocoloates, no candies, nothing that should be able to end up in the mouth. Don't get vouchers - not from World of Sports, not from Royal Sporting House, not from Adidas, not from our good old NTUC.

Okay. We have less than a week to go search for the gift, so put some effort in it. We seldom have a big event with almost full strength together. This is like our once a year, big event to commenmerate our friendship - like the shepard and his girl up there in the sky. So really, make it funny, make it happening, make it blast sky high!

Hate to make it sound like National Day but here goes:
"Celebrating 8 years of Frienship - Growing in Harmony!"

Mak Jay
ps: why is this account in Japanese? must be shiyin's idea...

2007-12-06T16:10:00.000+08:00

Hey gangsters~~~ Mak Jay suggested steamboat instead of BBQ during chalet. Because (according to him) it has been raining nowadays which might affect the bbq session, and also we won't smell so bad too.

In fact, i'm fine with anything. So, do you guys wanna vote or feedback?

And anyway, who's holding on to the steamboat now?

Shiyin

2007-12-05T00:21:00.000+08:00

Food wise you all decide. Yin has taken over the duty from me. Thanks dar!

As for Friday night party, I don't know how Zouk on Fridays are like. But I think DXO got free entry and free flow drinks for ladies on Fridays. Guys wise not very ex I think, with 2 drinks. I went once, the crowd abit yucks but music not too bad. If we big group then I guess the crowd doesn't really matter. Or we keep our eyes and ears open for parties with free entries lor. And I think we should have pre party drinks in the chalet before going club. Then can save on drinks there? Or we can keep the drinks for sat night BBQ and drinking games lahh. Better actually.

Ok, I am abit incoherent. Haha.

I will be away from tmr to wed. So if there's anything, call or sms me.

This time round, if I see anyone going to be gone soon, I will make myself gone first!! Haha. Strategy. I think I have earned enough credits for you all to take care of me. MUahahhaa.

In the meantime, everyone keep your ears and eyes open for any parties on 15th Dec!

PS: Why is our blogger in Japppppp????????

Peg

2007-12-04T11:14:00.000+08:00

Hey guys~ Let me give you all 2 options to choose from.

1) We shall order the food from the website Peg recommended.

OR

2) Some (including me) go get the ck wings on FRI and i will marinate and place in my house fridge first. On SAT, we shall all go Shop N Save together to get whatever food we would like to eat.

Which do you all prefer?

And btw, on last sun, we 4 (me, peg, mak and huijie) had agreed on the itinerary for the chalet. Just wondering if you guys are fine with it.

The below itinerary is IF we're getting the food on our own.

Fri Afternoon: Check in and get ck wings first. After that, we can go CDANS for some activites if there's time. Then, everyone dress up and get ready to chiong the night! Yeah, we shall go clubbing, shall we? Hehe. We've decided to choose places where there's free entry b4 9pm or 11pm. (I know St James is before 9pm) Whatever it is, we can always go in and get the chop first!

After clubbing, get ready to get high in the chalet playing 'HU KE CHUAN ZHANG' or whatever! ^_^

Sat: Wake up, and get ready to chiong the supermarket! After that, we will just get ready for the BBQ. Anyway, if possible, bring your partner along also can. They will be counted as a share in the food too. It will be a BBQ night all the way then. Perhaps more games after that! =)

Sun: Heard from Jian that we needa check out around 9-10am right? Hoho. Early huh? But it's alright, i just need to walk a little to get back home and catch my beauty sleep again. HOHOHO.

Anyway, if we are going to get the food from the website, the time we will be using to chiong supermarket shall be used for some other activities in CDANS or what. Maybe swimming or singing or whatever we can find inside. I'm not really sure of the facilities in CDANS too.

And guys, i believe Jian's in charge of the chalet cost. As for the food, i have no idea of how many will be sharing. So, can you pls SMS me whether you're coming for sat BBQ when you see this? Thanks!

Shiyin

2007-11-27T22:37:00.000+08:00

HELLO gangsters!! just wanna say, heard frm jian that peg's gonna settle food stuff? if need help please let me noe!

and as for entertainment wise, lol, im gonna contribute the game 'Twister'! cos im getting it for my fren's bday chalet, so can bring over and play with u guys also, hope it'l be fun! other than that, i'll bring cards la, then whatever u guys wanna do la~

eh.. that's all? k till then ~ =)

2007-11-19T16:45:00.000+08:00

14th-16th dec same? the rugged type? no bed? is the room big? any sample picture? how many people sharing food? what time check in what time check out?
shiyin

2007-10-16T11:58:00.000+08:00

Yu - 15th
Rong - 22nd
Peg - 7th
Mui - Any Week
Me - Any Week

Jian - Any week (Jian, it's 15th not 14th, sorry. hah. so any week for you?)
Lun - Any Week except last
Mak - I assume any week
Den - I assume any week
HJ - I assume any week
Delon - Whenever he can
Chay - Any week
Des - No response

Erm, up till now, we have a vote for 8th, a vote for 15th and a vote for 22nd.

Basically, we try to accomodate everyone in lor. So whoever DIE DIE also cannot make it on any week, pls reponse in the tagboard or post and we shall avoid that week, since most of us are flexible.

For the games, i was thinking if we could come up with those unusual games, we could actually prepare the 'props' at home first that's why i suggested everyone to brainstorm first. But as what peg said, it would be more fun if we decide on that day itself, so shall be it. Save my trouble from preparing 'props' too.

For the BBQ catering, i guess i'm fine with the idea. So Lun and Peg going to headhunt for this right? Great.

As for the chalet, if you guys want CDANS or GOMBAK GOLF CLUB, you know, i really don't mind. But i just feel that, might as well you guys pay me then come my house chalet? Because the distance between CDANS and my BLK is like erm, 50 steps away??? Hahaha. Eh can we avoid CDANS or GOMBAK not? To me, chalet machiam like no chalet leh. =( How come Lun suggested CDANS btw? Near my house huh? Then see if can bump into any FAMILIAR person? Muahahahaaa.

Let's go Pasir Ris lar! Hahaha. Got beach somemore. Nicer crowds and atmosphere.

I'm able to go for 3 Days 2 Nights btw. (Sat-Mon)
But provided most of us can stay for the 2nd night, then we shall settle on 3 Days 2 Nights.

Okay lar, response asap people. Because it's already the mid of Oct and we need to book the Chalet by the end of this week, hopefully?

In Summary...

2007-10-15T11:13:00.000+08:00

First things first, when do the NTU and NUS people finish exams? My last paper will be on 1 Dec so anytime after that is techincally fine. I am assuming NTU finish by 7th Dec also cos the 3 guys never say anything. Mui mui?

Voices heard:

Jian: 14 Dec so that he can shun bian go for friend's party. Idiot.

Rong: 22 Dec so can celebrate early christmas [exchange presents etc? cool actually...]

Delon: (implied meaning) go ahead with the planning without him. If he can come, he come. If he cannot come, we enjoy without him. Am I right, Delon?

Lun: Last week of Dec out = any date but 28th Dec. Right?

So taking out 28th, we are left with 7th, 14th and 22nd.
14th has one vote, 22nd has one vote.

Now, I am going to make things more interesting...

I choose 7th Dec. Reason being: I only start work on 10th. And interns can't take leave. So any other dates, I will only join you guys on the saturday.

Alcohol

Judging from the tagboard, I think we have enough.

Jian can bring 1 Vodka. I can bring a 80% full Chivas (courtesy of Chay. my bday present from him). Mak can bring more Chivas. So we are kind of settled on alcohol. At most dump in few cans of beer in our shopping cart when purchasing BBQ food.

Games

Can I suggest we dont make this so formalised? Spoil the whole fun element of it being a game. Abit like organising orientation camp already leh. Think of games, submit proposal, dry run, improvise. Yucks. I think we should just let it come when we are high. It will be more fun..

Food

In fact, I don't trust anyone else with food other than myself. But having said that, it means more sai gang for me which I am not willing + no time to do. I suggest ordering from some BBQ catering to save us from all the trouble. Cos if we are at Chalet, we have to buy food from somewhere near. It means that:

1. we could spend the time to buy food to do something else, like cycling suntanning etc. You all should know how tuuu we are. That is ALOT of time actually.
2. We don't have time to marinate and it wouldnt be tasty at all.

Alternatively, we can buy from Sheng Shiong or wherever, marinate and prepare at home then bring down. But that would mean more work and we will need a car. And none of our cars are technically ours, it doesnt make sense for us to drive down to the chalet and park there for 2 days, depriving the actual car owners from using it. And also, it means more work. Buying, preparing etc.

I think Lun knows one caterer and I can find out another one. If the price is not alot more expensive than buying from supermarket, can I suggest we just order?

Oh yah, are the dates mentioned the nights or the days? As in is it a 3 day 2 night chalet or a 2 day 1 night one? If its 2d1n, Cdans ain't that bad. But if 3d2n, we will at least need a beach and a bicycle rental shop to prevent mushrooms from growing from our heads.

Okay, it doesn't sound like a summary anymore.

Anyway, I feel abit bad. Although abit late but happy birthday HuiJie! (:
Don't like the word belated. Happy adulthood!

Hey guys! Ahhh surprise huh! It's just you know, i suddenly realised our gang blog hasn't been so active for tooooooooo long and i just feel like posting an entry now!

Anyway, i don't really have an idea of what to say actually. But then, maybe we can talk about some major gathering? Like chalet at the end of this year??? Muahaha.

Okay lar i volunteer to be one of the organising committee members. First of all, i need people to help in areas i'm not familiar with.

1) I need someone who has got ntuc card or whatever discount card to book the chalet. I've just checked the reservation website. Below's the available date and chalet type.

I'm assuming everyone will be more free on weekends so it's all weekends slots. (Sat to Mon, so that we can have a whole day on Sat)

7-8 Dec : Pasir Ris Chalet
14-15 Dec : Pasir Ris Chalet
21-22 Dec : Pasir Ris and Downtown East
28-29 Dec : Pasir Ris, Downtown East and Sentosa

Thanks dude. Because my birthday chalet wasn't booked by myself either. Hahaha.

So, everyone pls vote on the date that you prefer. Majority wins. And most probably we would be getting Pasir Ris Chalet lar, based on the availability.

When the chalet is confirmed booked, the below will then be valid.

2) BBQ. Okay we will have BBQ as usual. I will be involved in the food committee. And i need 4 helpers. Volunteer!

3) Games. It's games which make us crazy all the time. I will never forget that night when everyone is tipsy while playing 'HU KE CHUAN ZHANG'!!! So, this shall involve everyone okay? Anyone can suggest games which you think will be fun! Again, i'll be coming up with a few games too because i love this! Wahaa!

4) Alcohol. 2-3 pax to be responsible for purchasing of alcohol. Pls do not get too much or too little. Too much leads to 'drunken fist' stunts and too little is not enough to knock everyone down! Okay lar, no more 'drunken fists' stunts this year okay. I promise. Muahahahahaaa.

5) Time, location and further informations will be supervised by me. So i will update informations on our blog when there are new ones.

At the end of the day, we will then calculate everything together at the chalet then divide by everyone okay. =) So pls bring enough cash too. Important huh.

Hopefully this will go smoothly.

You may start volunteering now! Pls be involved if you miss the fun we had together before! ^_^

Love,
Shiyin

Hey guys,

I didn't know Citibank works on Sunday cos I received a call from them asking me about a debit card I applied a few months back at the Bukit Timah branch opposite Salvation Army.

FYI MR MAK,

1. Citibank is for the higher class and higher income so I don't think they have any debit card!

2. The bank opposite salvation army is Standard Chartered and not Citibank!!! You goon.

Ok, since I was fooled, I must be even stupider. But you know what, my first thought was that this conman is trying to con me for my account number and deep in my heart I was actually thinking "nah, you can't con me, you stupid conman."

Oh well..........................

Ok, stop reading in puzzleness. Mak called me on my HP on Sunday late afternoon. And yes, he tricked me, Blardy helll.

In a nutshell, he sent his regards to the gang and asked about you guys.

I told him everyone's good. Chay and Yirong are attached and his reaction was:

"HUH?! REALLY?! ARE THEY ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER??"

Hahaha, OMG, so funny.

Asked me the usual how they know each other kind of thing. So I told him what I know lah.

I told him about the massive turn out during my party. Our recent meet up to celebrate Lun and Delon's bday etc. Whatever that comes to my mind lah.

He said internet there is damn ex so he really has limited access. He borrowed his friend's access and wanted to blog but forgot our username and password and didn't want to waste his friend's money so didn't.

He said he just finished a SOLO - Something 2 days ago. [ok, chanhowe actually verified the solo-something but I forgot again. anyway, not important lah huh]

He said they are trying to get them back by 15 Dec but cos its winter now, the weather is quite bad, they don't get to fly so might be delayed.

He said he calls his gf everyday but calls home every week. [what a filial son! haha.]

He said everything's good there. He is alive and kicking.

He said his gf told him Jianwei commented on his friendster that he is buying a car and waiting for him to come back to drift together and ask me true anot. Haha. Jian you mean your lorry and his van drift together ah? HAHA.

I think thats about it lah. Thats all I can remember. He ended off with a "ok lah, I'm going to have dinner now. Send my regards to all of them."

The reason he called me was because he can only remember my number and Jianwei's old number off hand. But since he isnt sure if Jianwei's old number can still be used, he took the safer choice to call me instead. And probably he knows I am not someone who will go "wah lao, I must pay anot? hurry up say."

And I think calling from Perth is not ex. (Since he can call gf everyday) Cos my aunt in Perth calls my ah ma every other day just to talk one. So if you guys want, can subscribe a calling list with him and make him call you lah. haha.

Ok, so now we know everything's still kicking over there.

Alright, da gong gao cheng. I can go nurse my leaking nose now. Nights gangsters!

The Cat--String Theory

2007-07-01T11:32:00.001+08:00

The wool-ball floated in mid air, supported by the hand of an unknown. From it, a single tiny thread of wool hangs and swings aimlessly. The cat purred…..it readied itself; every muscles cell in its body is ready as it launched itself into mid air. Its clawless paws fully out-stretch as it tried to snatch the wool thread that hangs before its eyes. The paws closed-in onto its target every split second…it was just 5 centimetres away when the thread suddenly moved an inch higher and beyond its grasp.

The cat landed on the other side with a three and a half somersault, it turned its body around and made another attempt for the thread. This time, its attempt was even worse than the first—it paws managed to close in to 2 cm within its target BUT it only landed with only one somersault. The cat tried again…it jumped but failed…..it jumped higher but still failed…!! The process repeated as the persistent cat hangs on knowing that victory would eventually come.

Then Mr. Unknown decided to let go of the wool ball. The cat leaped onto the ball in a flash as the ball dropped onto the floor, it purred in satisfaction. Then suddenly, the cat gave the ball a hard push and walked away. The ball rolled around as the cat walked off; not once did it even turned its head back…

Ever heard of the cat-string theory? It is actually a theory that describes how a person lost interest in the things he craved so much for almost instantly after getting it. If there is a thing that affects me more than the heat this instant, it is the cat –string theory. The freedom and the relief that I yearned and craved when I left Maybank only lasted few minutes. It is like a surge of joy that rushed through your body, energizing you for a few minutes then after that it is like---“ like that loh!!”

Sometime, it make me wondered why the cat-string theory is so powerful that it affects many people. Is it because I am a tiger that I fall prey to the theory easily…maybe one day, someone who study Chinese zodiac could answer…
