Polar Identities

Well, what can I say.


I didnt expect yesterday's activities to go pretty nicely.


The early stages wasnt too nice though.


As the parents' forum was happening at the same time as our bonding day, some of our station areas had to be shifted elsewhere. To add on to the problems, the ushers at the event wore SP tees too - exactly what I instructed the senior EXCOs to do, which made me a little unsure as of whether the juniors will know where to find us.


Expectedly, people came in late, and since Grace thought that she and Karen looked like fools while trying to signal people to our gathering site, Samantha and I had to do it instead, and I had to leave the attendance taking as well as the ribbon distribution to the Steph and co. The thing is, Steph herself was probably either still in waking-up mode or she was unsure of what to do. From afar, I could see Khidir handling crowd control and shifting them to the main event area at the umbrella place. I may be wrong though. Kudos to the people who had to cut ribbons and take attendance together.


If it doesnt get any messier, while helping Khidir to push the whiteboards to the place, lord knows what happened, but firstly, I received news that the umbrella shaped place is occupied by people, but I had no clue as to exactly how serious was the problem. Then, I heard that the EXCO ppl on that side were unsure of what to do.


As I was nearing, I told Vanessa to get them to settle down on any area left at that place first. And for some funny reason, we actually had enough space beside the gym to accomodate the entire cohort of juniors and seniors, just that perhaps if we split them down further, space will definitely be an issue.


Forgive me, but I'm confused too. A few weeks earlier, Steph was appointed the IC of this event, so I'm guessing I will be her assistant. People in the EXCO still think that I'm the IC so I'm like lollollol. Things got a lil weirder cause even Sabrina knows more than Steph as to whats going on yesterday. So to me, its really both a WTH factor and a Wow moment.


It got a lil better after that, I guess haha. Wacko was carried out in 4 random groups, I took one of them, Bahrul, Steph and Carrie took the other 3, while K & G helped reshuffle the 10 groups.


For goodness sake, I suck at Wacko. I couldnt remember names, I couldnt make use of the space to run around, and the people themselves were having fingers pointing in some directions I couldnt conceive. When I eventually got to settle down after managing to whack the shit out of somebody, I had to stand aside for a while lmao. Samantha, Vanessa and Angela occasionally popped in for cameo appearances to make up for Fizah's solo antics in the almost all boys group.


After which, the messiest part of the event came in, when we sorted the groups into 5 or 6. We took nearly 10 - 15 minutes to arrange them, which was crazy. Even the teachers had to step in and help out. It was pretty embarrassing to have them assist us. D_=


And the fun came in, when the people started to spread out and play at the respective stations. For my Dog and Bone station, the funniest part was when Wan Ying's group comprising of Jose, and Ming Hai's group of Zoe and Ting Quan had a VS scenario. Jose acted like a bomb shelter by covering the cup with the chinese chess piece, and also as a sacrifical stakesman by hugging Ming Hai so as to prevent him from reaching the bottle. It was god damn hilarious too when Samantha screamed out all the "chio bus" to run out, and Ming Hai sprinted out like as if hes proud to be a chio bu lmao. I laughed my shit out.


We wrapped the event up by tallying the marks and announcing the results. The couple got the prizes lol. Pretty surprising eh? Thereafter, they got their lunch and they went home subsequently. I think they enjoyed themselves and I think this bonding day was pretty well done for the second half. Its enlightening seeing people adding each other in facebook this morning between DDA ppl.


I have to thank Steph for helping me see through all the loopholes I couldnt see though. She helped a lot for the planning (though it should be the other way round lollollol) but perhaps just that shes drained out by the day before's L4D2 in-lab game session.


Of course, the rest of them should deserve a standing ovation. Hiccups for us first-timers in organising such a big-scale event is hard to avoid anyway, so I think we all did a great job.


And as a result, some of us were treated to Swensens at Clementi Mall. And to reward myself for the unexpected success of this day, I bought her!!! XD


I shall call her Sasha. Idk why, but this bunny looks like one to me. She looks fatter than I thought O.O I may not bring her everyday cause admittedly she looks a bit weird on me. Lol.


Doesnt come cheap. She costs a whopping 50 bucks including her 15 bucks goggles. But I guess Zinc's wallets and other gears are impressively nice in terms of designs, so with the membership card I got from them, I can have discounts liao. No need to look for friends' help.


Swensens was pretty nice. I got to have a taste of their famed sticky chewy chocolate =D Ohhhh.... tastes so heavenly....


After which I got to chat (and eventually doze off because of the topic of anime) a hell lot, before I went to find J tan and have some good ol' times together and chat on life while having Fish & Co.


Their NY fish and chips was the jazz!!! They had cheese inside the fish oh my f-ing gosh. I think I can die~~~!


As the wait for my Dazzle continues, I guess I'll still be blogging for quite a while. I need to find other ways to get that god damn thing from overseas here already. Derp.


Ok, I gtg and do my work. I'm doing skinning, but I should be doing Tetris anyway. Not the game, the animation. D=


Catch ya guys later!
