grad night!

let's continue...

7th dec: woke up early to take a bus but there was a traffic jam!! it was damn idiotic to wait for half an hour in the bus, but seeing the whole stretch, front and back, all filled with vehicles sort of like made me feel 'squashed' but yet a nice view. lol. it gave me time to think about stuff. heez. anyway, was late for training, but was excused, then played match with shihao and shangqi. damn tiring man, and i had to do 2.4 run too! after that, i rushed to the council room for council meeting, only to see jia, kumar, wanling, sufi, fei and qd there. after the meeting, wanling and sufi went off whereas zhen, nat and sush came with sony eriksson sponsors of paper bags. then the production line started, with fei opening the bags, me putting in skippy peanut butter and soupy snacks, and nat, zhen, sush and jia adding skincare and bathing stuff together with a souvenir calculator. kumar and qingde were doing MMM stuff in the council room, and soon after qd had to leave. mdm rohayati came to help us, and so did mariam and kurseth, but jia and fei had to leave. there were lotza fun stuff going on during that period of time, and you can view the pictures at http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2134318014
then it was damn tiring lah, carrying 467 bags of door gifts from the council room to the GO. everyone then left except for sush, nat and me. we cleared up, packing everything back into the council room. we then finalize wrapping the table gifts, and we three losing it due to weariness. loL!~ when i went home, still had to do orientation stuff till 3am with kumar! he was damn lame, crapping with me all the way but what's new? yup, koed after that. and btw, Happy Birthday Marcus!!

8th Dec: went to school to do some council work, but i left halfway to meet marcus at tampines. we had lunch at S-11 before we went to Swensens and i treated him to ice-cream, which left a big but contented hole in my pocket. it was his birthday the day before, so it was worth it! =) anyway, i went back to school to meet up with kumar, and we then went to his house with the intention of finishing our council work and play! but NOOOO, he had to show off his electric guitar, but indeed i was impressed, and we jammed the whole time. we didn't do work and instead were worrying about what to wear tomorrow. i'm dead lah, considering i DON'T HAVE any jeans nor black shirt, but i don't really care. he was then supposed to meet his sis at plaza singapura but after fifi said that we only needed to wear jeans, he left me to go home by myself, if not he would have followed me to pasir ris. thinking it was still early, amos called me up and asked me to drink tea with the biking gang and so i agreed. he informed me of this wonderful job where we get paid to play, that is to night cycle around bedok area and wash cars. my eyes sparkled in fascination and i wanted that job! okay, i have to admit they exaggerated and made it sound fantastic. i took another bus home, the 13th one i've taken this particular day! lol!~ bus concession pass rocks... slept early for the big day tomorrow!

9th & 10th dec: i woke up late, and thus decided to 'pon' squash. i came to school with the regulus designs of the banner and placard to hand it over to them. thanks yvonne for putting the stuff into mr yeow's locker! =) well, i moved all the remaining stuff to be brought to the prom in the council room down to the GO. after which i slacked and conveniently stunned an ice lemon tea and put it in the fridge in the pantry. oopz? heheh. then the lorry came and we, kaisheng, kumar, liane, kur and me, loaded the stuff onto it, and i boarded the lorry to stack everything. after that, we sat in madam rohayati's car and they stunned me by treating me to another stunned ice lemon tea, though it wasn't cold. it was kinda depressing when madam heard that we took the drinks from the GO, which originally belonged to her FRC (fund-raising club) as leftovers. after unloading the stuff at the loading bay at Ritz Carlton, i asked the manager for help. it came in no time, and soon, i made some new friends too. =) after moving everything into the ballroom, we went for a briefing by fifi and kur at the saloon. soon, we were all at work, with majority of the council doing the balloons while sush, nat and me did the setting up of gifts. the deejays came, then Ibrahim came, followed by the emcee, and lastly the band. i was slacking around and watching them rehearse while the rest bought their dinner and got changed. i skipped mine with the intention of stunning from the kitchen. loL!~ i then went up to the room and got changed, and i tell you, the view from the 24th storey was fabulous. the room was equally matched, yea, sure they are a 6-star hotel.
it was already 6pm and i went down to station myself for ushering. when the people started streaming in, they were all looking so glam and outstanding, totally unlike those we usually see in school. a feast for the eyes no doubt, but the trouble came when the event was about to start but the j2s were just so hyped up on taking countless number of photos. ushering them into the ballroom was definitely a difficult job. it resulted in the event being pushed back by half an hour even though there was a buffer lag time of 15mins given. the programme which followed proved to be rather a breeze, with an opening by our very own ibrahim's trademark michael jackson billy jean's dance. everything was going on smoothly UNTIL the band performed. the saddening part: half the world was outside taking pics, and the rest who are inside are ALSO taking pics. Amusing. but i thought the band did okay. hey, they took the trouble to came to perform for free ya know? perhaps that's what you get for free? hmmz...
right. then came lucky draw for top 10 prizes. OMG! i wanted to participate, attractive prizes leh! Good job Nat & Sush! it ended with arjay and felicia winning prom king and queen respectively. then it was PARTY TIME!! in came the deejays, who were sufi's cousins, and my good lord was he pro. the speed of his hands and the perfection of timing. excellent. no wonder he is being paid good money. most stayed back to party and take pics while afew left early. wanted to take pics with my j2 friends, but didn't get the opportunity to. haiz~ i'll make sure that next year i'll take all the pics in the world. haha =) thankfully, there was food for the councillors, and obviously i finished it all after they didn't want anymore. after that was packing up time, and sure it was late. kumar initiated to stay over at Ritz, i mean like when will you ever get a chance to stay over at Ritz Carlton for FREE? so i dialled home and my dad agreed, and i couldn't hide the elation inside me. furthermore, we had to move equipment back to school tomorrow, so all the more i have a reason to stay over. What the hell man! damn shiok lah!
the night started, and fifi, nat, kur, mar, kha, liane, fei, kumar and me went up to the room. the girls stayed to wash up before they left one by one. we were doing many dumb things there, i tell you, kumar was losing it man. the pics from the above link you've just saw on 7th dec would tell it all. for further details, you can also refer to kumar's blog at http://www.bigthingsplayground.blogspot.com/
after my bath, i was like totally refreshed and ready to be wild. looking out of the window, i saw the ECP and immediately a thought came to mind. let's go there and take pics!! problem is we didn't know how to get there. but i wanted to go out and go walk walk anyway. when do you get the chance to walk on the streets in the city at like 3-4am in the morning?? how cool is that? we first visited 7-11 and ate quite abit first and taking pics too. thanks kumar for treating me the food!! it was getting earlier into the morning and reaching the ECP was like totally far and ridiculus. i reluctantly scrapped the idea, but hey, i'm gonna do it some other day man! have to do it somehow, cheap thrills rock!~ =)
we went back and i koed on the bed, only to wake up to find kumar saying "we're dead, the lorry is here already" i quickly stood up, packed up, used the toilet and rushed down to meet the auntie. we then checked out, and went to get the band equipment from the saloon, and moved everything into the lorry. both of us had a free ride back to school, with ms ee and liane waiting there for us already. after moving back the equipment to the band room, we parted and i went home only to embrace my ever so precious bed.
wasted! the entire room in Ritz Carlton could have been wiped out by Kumar and me! it was perfect, a lorry waiting for us down at the loading bay. the councillors loved the bed, the couch, the TV etc. it would be splendid if we could have all these items in our council room yea? only that kumar had to hold me back before i continuing raving at all the stuff and using my magical powers to shift it to the council room in school. and the cleaner who is thinking of cleaning the room would go in STUNNED.that would be what i call a perfect STUN NIGHT! ms ee would have been STUNNED too. haiz~ next time perhaps?
