please note that if you guys are on this list, we assume that 1.you are coming and 2.you are bringing your food item, if any. please do not forget last minute. how the bbq turns out will be dependent on you guys.

for the rest of you, i have tried numerous attempts to get a definite answer from you guys, to no avail up till now (unless you have already told me personally that you are not coming). this message is for those who have not given a definite answer: if you do not respond up till the day itself, we will assume that you are not attending and hence will not provide any extra food items to cater to unconfirmed people. it is not our fault if the food runs out and you decide to turn up last-minute. thank you.

once again, to those who are attending, i will drop a message individually to all of you guys to remind you of which food item you should be bringing and any further clarifications on the class event. can't wait to see you guys this sunday! i promise it will be hell lots of fun. :)

as these people have been allocated to bring essential items (especially kian how who has to bring charcoal), we need someone else to do the job. mr mark li has kindly offered to bring the prawns (kai shun's item) so we now have two food items unallocated:

piong

audrey

darren

shannon

sharon

mr mark li

jeslyn

IF your name is NOT here, please submit your response to either shannon or me BY MONDAY 25TH OF JUNE (i.e. THE START OF EXAMS).

in addition: a note to any one of you: if you guys have a movie DVD that you would like to share with the class, do bring it. we can screen it from a projector if we still have time. (no shows u guys are not supposed to watch please. haha.)

one more thing: shannon and i have decided to use our own money to buy a bottle of plain absolut vodka if you guys want to mix with your drinks. we are also taking orders for bottles of bacardi (fruity flavours:peach, grapefruit, orange, lime) since we can get them at an offer price. each bottle is $4.20, so please give us your orders if you want them. otherwise, we will bring THREE bottles extra in case any of you guys decide to change ur minds on the day itself.

once again, thank you for reading and we hope to hear from you really soon (especially those who haven't replied). i'm off to KL now! have a great weekend stocking up for the war. :) WE WILL OWN!

The F8-ed BBQ

Hello class! There will be a class barbeque on the 1st of July, Youth day, as stated by the SMS you received today. Its a Sunday but the following Monday is a holiday so its okay ;)

The bbq starts at 5pm, but those who are interested can come earlier in the afternoon to play either:

1.)BASKETBALL
2.)SQUASH
3.)SWIM (there ARE shower and SAUNA facilities)
4.)TENNIS (piong you wanna bring any of ur rackets? :p)
5.)PS3
or
6.)WITH BEN'S DOG
7.)ALL OF THE ABOVE

The highlights of the BBQ are:
1.)MUSIC REQUESTS AFTER DARK (we have a 50W sound system)
2.)UNIQUE FOOD LIST (see below)
3.)MIXING OF DRINKS
4.)DANCING (on your own accord xD)
5.)TRUTH OR DARE

also, we have a very special in-house cook! which is Shannon! xD

We need you guys to bring an item EACH to the bbq (see list below)

However these things are on the house: paper plates, towels, satay sticks, plastic bowls, firestarter, tongs, utensils, aluminium foil, wire mesh, rubbish bag. Corn, beef patties, beehoon, otah, fish/sotong ball and ANYTHING (yes, it IS the drink.)

IMPORTANT: to ensure minimum conflict, we have decided that it would not be a good idea for you guys to choose which food item to bring (sorry!) so we will assign them to you. we will try our best to assign the girls to lighter items. (see? we are SO NICE =DDD) If you guys have any complaints or would like to do swaps, please tag so everyone will know ;) (upon a successful swap, please drop ben an SMS so we can alter the list accordingly.)
Those who have nothing to bring, you can help out in other ways like cleaning up ;)

upon receiving the email, PLEASE drop ben a message to say that you have seen it, whether you are coming or not. at least i won't be wondering who has not received it yet.

Who wants to do extra CIP?

Hello 1T08!!! Kai Shun here :)

I have a cip on hand and I'm helping my friend to recruit. This event is being organised by Citibank n YMCA. The event would most likely be held on 4 August 2007 (Saturday). There will be a total cip hour claim of 6 hrs but you would most likely be at the event for 4 hrs +. This event is a charity event so you would be trying to sell keychain-pens on that day or helping out at the booth. All proceeds of this event would be given to Club Rainbow(Singapore) which is the beneficiary of this event.

Venue would most likely be at Orchard Rd with a booth being set up there. So, if your are interested, your can contact me through msn or call/sms me at 91132502. You can pull along your other friends to do this cip too :) They too will be able to get the cip too. Or perhaps we can make this another class CIP? So Audrey, if you are reading this post, would you give it a thought about it? Haha XD

Anyway, this is voluntary. So if you're not interested also nvm lah. But I'll need to confirm before 7 July so do give me a reply before then :) So, take care and hmmph, study hard? Lol

Soaking Up The Sun In Canberra

HELLO 1T08! KRYSTAL here! Sorry that I never contribute anything to the class blog cos my Blogger is in Japanese! Plus the fact that I'm too lazy to type out a post! Anyhoos, I wrote a post on my sis blog (she was away on LTC and made me her guest blogger! haha!) regarding out class CIP! So... I shall copy and paste the whole damn thing! Ok, here it goes:

With regards to the previous post, I realised I may have been a wee bit nasty. Was feeling tired after travelling (by BUS okay!) all by myself to and from Bukit Panjang for class CIP you see. Plus the fact that I had to wake up early the next day (5.30am!)... Anyways, SYU the eediotz kind of made me smile with her stupid antics on the tagboard. Posing as some Mysterious lover who lurbbeexx mooii alotxz! Heh!

So anyway, my class had planned a CIP activity today! Travelled to Canberra (not in Australia, mind you!) Primary School in the land of Far Far Away. i.e. Sembawang! Basically, our CIP activity was to be volunteers at a day camp for children... The thing is that I have a feeling that these children were problem kids. After a whole day (0800-1600!!) with the children, I realised that they can be classified into 2 main groups. They are:-

1) The hyperactive, fidgety, and extremely mischievous type who seems to be perpetually high on sugar; enjoys pretending to be Warrior Boy (yes! some bugger went around proclaiming that he was one!) and engaging in fist fights to show who's the boss. Also suffers from ADD/ADHD and is violent in nature. Surprisingly, despite being all action packed, they resembled Rolie Polie Olie!

2) The extreme opposite of Type 1. Quiet and passive, they follow orders (sit here, stand there, shut up etc.) but is too shy to do anything else. Suffers from a bad case of stuttering and low self-esteem.

Well, after registration and all, there were only a a pathetic group of... 12 children! So we got them sorted into smaller groups and I was the facilitator for 3 of them. Because my brain was a little jammed up, I couldn't help think of a proper group name... and thus had to settle for the name ''DAREDEVIL''! And the helpful little guy even thought up of a cheer that went something like this: Daredevil, Daredevil,We Are Number One! We will eat you up and beat you with blood in our hands etc. I know! It's like...OMGWTFBBQ?!?! Naturally, it was rejected which must have broke his heart! Haha... The rest of the day whizzed by in a blur as we played about a hundred lame games in the sun such as Whacko, some Spider Web thing, trying to walk blindfolded without stepping on water bombs (those lil' cheats!) blah blah...you get the picture. And this cute Lilliputian actually cried as he stepped on a water bomb unintentionally!

The highlight of the day were, you guessed it, the water bombs (and Joanna saying NA-BEH! in front of the everyone)! All of them could hardly contain their excitement and were delirious at the sight of them. Things kind of got out of hand and chaotic as we played the Dog & Bone game with the water bombs. This repulsive little simian actually threw 3 at my face and neck at a close range! Curse You! Of course I could not squish him with my thumb for fear of being reported for animal abuse. Wah laozz... I still very pissed off ok! Was soaking wet after that due to that nasty critter and the fact that while trying to burst the water bombs at my friends, the water splashed on me. Twice. What a loser! Must be bad karma!

The food was equally horrible (yellow noodles with prawns, rice with cabbage and rubber chicken) but I suppose you can't expect too much since we didn't pay any money. And I was reminded of the fact that I'm allergic to shellfish i.e. prawns, crab, LOBSTER etc! Bleddy shite! You know what that means??? It means that even if I steal a nano-sized bite of something with shellfish, my lips will will turn red, swell and rot (ok, i'm exaggerating!). All in a matter of minutes! Luckily I managed to find out the problem! So the allergic reaction is currently contained at the lips... Imagine if it did not, I may end up looking like some freak! This is sooo depressing (an emo moment here)!

Oh wells... Anyway, the kids in my group were the most well-behaved (as 2 out of 3 of them were of Type 2)and won the prize for the Most Co-operative Group! There was even a prize called the Good Progress Award (?!)! And this guy (the one who thought of the group name and the rejected cheer) actually wanted to treat us to drinks as he was feeling generous! $5.80 is a lotta money y'know!! And they were sooo thrilled at their prizes and goodie bags (cheap made-in-China stationary)... Hmm... Which made me think of the past when I was still in primary school. Easily contented, cute and innocent! HAH!

So... I guess I will have to say goodbye tomorrow as Hannah dearest will be coming home! HANNAH IS NOT DEAD ok!! My momma actually wanted to check is she was still alive on the 1st night! But I told her not to!

Have some faith la! LOL!

Krystal

Ok! There it is! Hmm... I suppose I could give you the link to my sis blog so that you can read the 3 posts that I wrote in there... Then again... Maybe NOT! Haha...

HELLOOOOOO one tee oh eight!

CIP today was so much better than i'd pictured though not everybody could have made it. Some of the games were pretty dry cause of people like garthick who spotlight hogged. Grr. Yes it was quite annoying and for once, Kaishun flarred up! :D He was pretty feirce actually. But i couldn't help but laugh. 7th Heaven's the BEST.

And syafiq was so adorably adorable. And nice. And supportive. My son shall be like him one day. I'm so sorry if people don't know what im talking about.

Okay first and foremost, though im already in para 3, i want to thank EVADNE! Cause i think her job was pretty tough. Since she had to shout and scream to get the children's attention. Who were pretty cooperative if they wanted to be. They're all nic I don't understand how you kept your cool most of the time. Tblematic kids in the whole school. So YES! Thank you evadne! I don't understand how you kept your cool most of the time. Though you blew up at one of two kids.But yup overall, you rocked. Thank you!

And KAISHUN! Thanks for helping me, being there for all the meetings and organising the whole thing. And for gathering everybody that day though you were sick. You're the best. (:

And as for the rest, yup thank you thank you thank you. Really. I can't imagine what the camp would have been like if one of you weren't there. There'd have been this missing thingy thingy thing.. forget it. Bottom line, i appreciate it that everyone who made it made it. :D

Oh oh oh note to ANTHEA! Could we have the pictures for mid summer's nights dream! I'm really curious as to how it turned out and all.

And note to BEN! I was just thinking, could you maybe link that website where you've got all those pics to the class blog? So that our lives would be made easier. THANK YOU!

Sorry that i didnt cover the activities carried out today cause i just wanted to blog to say thank you and to talk to anthea and ben.

Oh okay wait wait wait. Interested or not, im still going to tell you.
I'M TAKING MY BRACES OFF SOOOOOON!
And the next time you guys see me, i won't be having my braces on. Please be excited with me.

So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
It will run for fifty years
So exciting
The audience will stomp and cheer
So delighting
