Dead Town

Before I go to my main point, I wanna apologise for screwing up our blogger account. Aiyo, this stupid blogger asked me to change to the new blogger, if not I cant sign in. So I did. Filled in the fields and I cannot recall our yahoo account, so I used my hotmail. Then I realised that now our username is my email add (peggen_86@hotmail.com). But our password is still the same lah. Tried to change back to our yahoo account mail. Trial and error and finally got the correct id and password BUT our account expired due to inactivity. -_-. Now we don't have our yahoo mail account anymore. Before I go do something to it, please log in at the NEW BLOGGER using my hotmail address with our old password ok? Don't understand? Come buzz me. :)

[Ed: Done with the mess. The username is now gang_of_all@hotmail.com. Password remain unchanged. Thanks!]

Anyway, back to my point proper. As you all know, Chinese New Year is around the corner. So I am inviting you guys over to my place for a steamboat dinner on Friday (23 Feb). Rationale is simple. We shared the cost for the steamboat pot. And I feel bad for treating it like mine, having my own steamboat feast with other people. And since the reason we bought the thing is for steamboat gatherings. So I am taking the initiative to invite you all over. And since I have been using it, the pot has been depreciated quite alot now, so the food and all will be on me. Just bring your asses and 2 oranges down. I am still quite traditional in this aspect and frankly speaking I was quite disappointed when only Yu and Mak brought oranges the other time. Haha. But then, this time round I will try to get my mum out of the house to minimise our losses. LOL! Jokes lah.

Please do make a note on your calendar. Friday evening of Chinese new year week. Partners are invited. Please RSVP so that I know how many person's share I need to prepare. Don't get me bugging at you asking if you can come huh. Initiative to send me an SMS or a msg over MSN is very much appreciated. Thank you! :)

Oh yah, those people who haven't received my xmas card (lun, delon & xia, jian & xue), please come hor or at least send one representative out of a pair lah. Hahaha. Its super overdue. And I think some of the cards are with other people. Please try to return them to me too ok? Wth, xmas card. I can't believe this man. haha.

One final note, not being naggy, but a friendly reminder, RSVP!

Remember that there was once we discussed that the tradition for a funeral after death may be displaced soon out later…I agreed at that moment…but now I think setting up a wake for the dead is quite important…I realized it only recently…its to soothe the sorrow in you…reminiscing the thing he/she did for you…the things u all go through together…and make u feel that he/she is still around and hasn’t leave you…getting used to the soul and not he/she physically by your side…the missing will minimize to the lowest…though it may not help for some people…u must used to the fact of he/she has left you…imagine u cant even send he/she off on her last journey and bid the last word of farewell to the dead…it will be the greatest regret in your life…life and death is the harshest reality…

6.30pm at Rocky's

Hello!

No one reminded me but I remembered to make the reservation.

Under Miss Ang :D for 10 pax at 6.30pm!

The person threatened to cancel the reservation if we are not there by 6.45. So if you all reach earlier than me, do make your way there first k?

So see you guys at 6.30pm tomorrow at Rocky's! Remember the gift exchange.

The Teck Whye people who wants a lift, contact me!

love,
pEg

smiles!

And yeapp, everyone... let's thank peg for organising this! I'm alright with any place as long as it's with u guys! So anyone with any objection, BLOG or TAG. =)))

I'm looking forward~! ;)

23rd

Thanks for the effort in planning this, and I know it can be quite a feat to get good attendance.

Nonetheless, pizza sounds good to me and Bojangles might be a dangerous temptation if I happen to get the Tua Leng Gong Van out that night. Just make sure that I don't even drink a sip.

I am good to go on 23rd. Let me know the details. No violent objections to the gifts exchange, lucky draw style.

Live It Up,
Mak

Yes, you didn't read wrongly. Its Mak.

Xmas plans

Hello people!

As the title suggests, the christmas dinner on 23rd will still go on. I think its not very fair (to the other people) to let a few people spoil the whole event and our enthusiasm.

But due to the fact that attendance might not be satisfying, I think we should not book the chalet anymore. If not it will be quite bad for our pockets. Then we can use the money to eat better food.

Attendance so far:

1. Yin
2. Yu
3. Mui + Bf
   
4. Den
5. Mak
6. Chay
7. Peg +Bf [but bf say if no bf/gf go then he not going]
8. Huijie
   

I got this from the responses I see on the tagboard. If I included your name wrongly, correct me. If I did not include you but you are on, then just let me know ok? Actually so far I only duno if Huijie and Delon is going. The rest I know they are not.

Gift Exchange
Since its a christmas thingy, I think it would be fun to have a gift exchange. But since our gang event is always so prone to last minute changes, I think it might be easier to buy general stuff and just exchange by drawing lots or that sort of thing. If not if last minute people pull out, someone might end up with no present that day and I think its not very nice.

I do understand the difficulty of buying general, unisex stuff. But I hope we bear in mind that as 20 year olds, we are kinda too old for soft toys, chocolates might be too sinful for us etc. Haha! Actually Yin suggested we should restrict/ban some gift ideas (i think due to her traumatic hp pouch experience!) but I feel restrictions will spoil the fun of it. And the whole idea of this is not about the materiality of the present but the fun and the spirit of sharing and giving for the season. And I think we should be old enough to decide what goes and what doesn't.

But then, we are living in a democratic country, hence a democratic gang. If you have violent objections, please do voice out ok? :)

Edit: Price range for gift about $10-$20.

Venue:
Since we are not having a chalet anymore, I think it would be good to have somewhere we can chill out and sit longer. Having said that, town's out! The ideal place (to me) is somewhere less buzzy. And hence, town's out again! HAHA!

I'm proposing Rocky's Pizza (link)@ Rail Mall. Where our good old hangout, Bojangles is. I tried once eons ago, it was pretty good. Better than Pizza Hut and Canadian. I hope their standard don't change. I passed by it today and there were only 2 familes of 4 on a Sunday evening. So I assume it should be quite peaceful there and we should be able to sit there and chill. And even if we wanna chill till very very late, there's still our good old Bojangles to go to. :)

Food wise, you can take a look at the menu from the website. There's a link if you goon didn't notice. Its quite reasonable. About $10 for a plate of pasta. A large pizza for about 2-4 pax is about $20-$30.

Location wise, it should be pretty convenient for most of us. I would gladly love to send you all home in my Jazzie baby. Although cannot take alot lah. But the F-ing Kah Motors now tell me it will only be ready for collection on 26th! $^&#@#$ And I'm prepared for further delays. :(

And once again, democracy. I am only suggesting because I get the idea that no one really knows where to go. If you have better places, do suggest!

If you all are cool with Rocky's, then I will make reservation k? Although it might not be necessary. But better be safe. If not we one big group quite hard to get seats sometimes. So if you wanna bring your other half, do let me know so that I can reserve for the correct number. [Chay, Mary is welcomed. I would love to meet her. AND SEE IF YOU ARE RIGHT BY ASKING ME FOR MY SIZE! haha.] And do get him/her involved in the gift exchange as well ok?

Dress Code:
I dunno if you all still wanna go for the initial dress code since its so near. Haha! I'm fine with it actually. Smart casual for guys. Lil' casual dresses for girls (not the prom dress kinda lah).



Alrighty, thats about all. Sorry ah. A bit lo so. We really don't have to force this thing. But I'm just trying to make everyone happy as much as I can and keep this tradition of ours. Its pointless to just get upset and screw the whole thing just because some people cannot make it (I know I was guilty of that in the past but I learn already). We should still go ahead and have our own fun. Okok?

But that doesn't mean that you can just ignore and bo hiew my long long post. I still need confirmation so that I can make reservation k? Haha.

Till then!

love,
pEg

plans.

According to the webby lun provides, each ard $10 for 2D1N... everyone alright with it? Maybe we could book it earlier just in case... and i did research on the costa sands sentosa kampung huts too... it's e same rate as chevrons. If there's ntuc member, e rate will be cheaper...

http://www.costasands.com.sg/web/availabilityAndBooking/rates.aspx

Everyone cfm whether u can stay overnight asap alright~!

And for the dress code, girls... u all wanna wear dress instead? Hehe... maybe dress will be better than denim skirts if we were to stay overnight... so u girls just comment here kay.

Measures of a man

Everytime when i book out, the sky will be exceptionally blue, trees are so much greener and the seas are so crystals clear that i can see that sch of fish swimming.

However, freedom only appear in one colour. PINK


Anyway, i will be out soon.

One of the most important i learn is how to be a man.

So what is a man??

Hmm


After so much physical stuff that we do everyday will make our muscles more define and develop. Maybe that is training to be a man.
But too superficial already leh, some muscular guys also act like sissy.


Maybe admitting to the own faults is being man. Just like the guy who admits farting in front of the officer when he is talking.
But that one is integrity, a value that everyone should have.


Maybe it is about giving abit more to others when everyone is feeling very shag and tired. Just like me helping some slow mole in digging their shellscrape after 5 days outfield.
But it is about being helpful.



I finally came to understand what is the true meaning of man after last week route march.

Everyone was marching with high morale, singing all the way, encouraging each other. Although there may be people dropping out but we were satisfied by our performance.

When everything is over and it is time to wash up, i finally found the answer that i am looking for.


A true man will walk with a limp and his leg very very wide open. Just like a girl i use to like, who walks with her leg really wide open and we used to make fun of her because of that.

Haha, not funny. But nvm, at least i got put some sensical stuff here.
Will blog more when i come back next time

I haven't been here for quite some time i know...

Since everyone's blogging, maybe i should come post sth i guess.. anyway i do admit that my efforts for this gang ain't as much as b4, and i guess u guys realised it too. Maybe i'm tired, need to take a break. Maybe i'm too busy... but for all of ur info, u guys will always be a part of my life, u guys will always be inside my heart. =)

I'll be part of the christmas party organising team too... ^_^

And guys, see you all soon ba~! ;)

Yin.



ps: i tried posting up e bbq pics but it doesn't seem to work... maybe someone wans to help? wahaa...

hey hey guys....



jus wanna say that despite a lot of times when perhaps some had disagreements, people are disappointed with one another... perhaps at times a lot of us felt that this gang is not going to last and everybody is tired of so many issues...




i really really love you guys and am glad that friends like you all still are around.


no matter how far apart i am from you guys; i may be busy with my dance life that i no longer put in effort anymore, i may be drifting away a lot... but i still wanna try k??



the bbq though a simple gathering, but its just great, so great that all are present to enjoy each other's company.


thanks again to mak n rong for organising... thanks to everyone else who prepared n help n for the present!!!




hey, i would like to do something for the gang.. so christmas party, i will help to organise can can!!!




anyway one thing really amuse me is mak's video that he made... it shows how free he was and how boliao, but den again, i feel that he will be someone who will do something sweet for his gf!!!! and to make a video like tt is really a sweet gesture... so live it up jiayuan!!




and for the four-some that wore red that day... perhaps one day we shld have a color code and everybody wears white or black to go out together!! it seems like we long time never do something like tt le..



one more thing, i am really happy for you, yin~ =)




be happy, everybody. chay, stop lamenting about yr sad life. be happy too! haha~

[pleasant suprise!]

Hey guys,

[pleasant suprise!]
I think last night was a nice get together. To take time off amidst busy schedules. There is no doubt that there are inherent flaws in this gang, but we learn how to seek perfection out of those imperfection. We all change, we all grow and are becoming more and more different. I guess its all part of life.

I know I'm abit mad. Since yesterday we kept harping on Yin's "xi shi" and Rong always like to think about what will happen 10 years later. I just thought of something. HAHAHA. If one of us gets married, the rest can fit into one table at the wedding dinner. Just nice. Hahahahaha. That is based on the assumption that it is not an internal marriage. But then again we will bring our partners. Maybe 2 tables lah (as of now, at least 1 1/2). Then for the one who is the last, probably have to reserve 3 tables liao. Cos got children also. HaHHAA. So you know whats the moral of the story? The LATER you get married, the MORE you have to spend. Bo hua one leh. 1 table or 3 tables you will still get the same number of angbaos. If those CC one maybe not much diff. But one table at ritz carlton surely got diff lah! SO if you want to save, GO GET MARRIED NOW!!

Alright, I know, Peg is siao already. Monday morning. Brrr.

And sorry, no need go chiong get nice dresses or suits, I am not getting married yet.

hahahahaa.


ps. photos, hint hint.

mon blues

Hey hey!

I am back, feeling very very bad. For the severity of what happen to my, pls contact me directly as the description will cause serious loss of appetite.

Training has been managable for me but i am afraid that once i go to field, heat rash will come and haunt me. There is no way to cure heat rash which means i will get those needle prickling sensation for the next duno how many days once it relapse.

I miss the days where i can get information freely from the papers and internet, the freedom to cycle down the road, blasting mp3 andfeeling the cold wind blow. Oh and cannot anyhow call people, cause their bf/gf may complain.

Time change and i understand that i have to give all these up so that others can sleep soundly at nite and carry on their daily life the next day.


My hair is getting worse, it is just like i been thorough chemotherapy, can see the shiny scalp so clearly and it looks so fugly. arrrggghhh!!!

Blog more, if not can tag. Everywhere is getting more and more silent.

Chay
