As most of u guys know, the volunteers' night has been over for close to 4 days and u guys have been given a short brief discription of wats going down. Let me, Clark Kent, give u the low down on wats going on.
Let me take u back a few days ago...To the day when we had SHG in the afternoon..
But first of all, please pardon me if I have misspelled yr name.
As usual, Hui Yi walking around, runing the show, keeping everything in check. Kathy teaching the young teens in one of the small classrooms adjacent to the "meetingroom-like" classroom. Very teacher-ish..the poker face..the endless flow of words and knowledge flowing out of her mouth like a never ending stream. The young teens, absorbing every single thing that she teachers like a sponge to water. Yue Bao with Xing Yi (forgot her name...sorry~!!!) teaching the young ladies and gents Maths. With the help if Wei Yu and Ee Ling, the class went as smooth as silk and I'm sure every student understood everything that was suppose to b though. Mr Loh behind the counter with Auntie Lily, both working hard behind the screen with their stern faces. Jiajin, who came in late(hai yo....), had to teach the sec 2 lady and gents english. After marking their work, it looks like the sec 2s need to improve on the English. No kidding. Anyway, as SHG ended early due to the volunteers' night, we slowly made our way down to Jurong. Which I'm sure was a pain in the A** for most of everyone. So on the way down, most were quiet, others were talking to each other. Wei Yu made a bet with Jiajin that if he gets 1 girl's number within 3 tries, he'll buy him a drink. So Jiajin had his first try on the train. Didn't work out.
I'm gonna skip the boring parts as the train ride was real torture for someone who can fly... ;-) So when we reached Jurong, we went to McDonald's to have a drink b4 heading to The Cheverons. After drinks, we headed in the direction of The Cheverons and we bumped into other SHG groups from different places. Not knowing how to go, Jiajin went to ask the Really Really tall lady how to go there. So apparently, we can hitch a ride to IMM via the feeder bus or we can walk there. So thinking that the bus will b crowded, we walked and so did the other groups. The Cheverons actually looks kinda far, but its really close. About a 10 minute walk.
Upon reaching, we were greeted by some organisers. Whom escorted us up to the place which was at 3rd floor. There were quite a few stalls, one with free photo shoots, free ice cream, free tea tasting, free tarrot card reading and free balloon sculpting. So we walked around the place, scaning and soaping up the atmosphere, which is kinda hot...literally...hahaha. So while some of us parted for awhile as some wanted ice cream and some were resgistering for the dinner, Jiajin bumped into some friends...really old ones. So he left. If memory does serve me correctly, Ee Leng, Hui Yi and Kathy were queing for ice cream while Mr Loh and Wei Yu were registering and queing for the free tarrot card reading.
Once inside, everyone met up again at Table 48 and dinner started shortly. The food was sumptous and filling...so were the performances from MINDS. So as the prize presentation was going on, nothing much was going and everyone was quietly sitting watching and clapping. Jiajin was getting too restless with the crowd so he went miggling around while the rest were taking photos. Thats y u can only see him in only 1 photo..hahaha~...Anyway, as I'm putting up in Jiajin's house, the least thing I could do is to take care of him..make sure he doesn't get into trouble. So from here on, I'll give u an account on wat he saw and did.
As he left the table to look for someone whom performed magic with him a few years back, a lady by the name of Tracy stopped him. As they met previously at a rock climbing session, they exchanged numbers and he left and continued searching. When he found the magician, he sat downa and chatted abit and noticed a lady who caught his eye earlier on the way into the function room, he borrowed a deck of cards from one of the magician's friend and went to perform a few card tricks as an excuse to get to know her. At the end of the performance, he asked for the girl's number and she gave. As the place was really noise, I didn't quite catch her name. If not, I would have said it. hehehe...Anyway, getting back, shortly after getting back to his table, he heard a familiar song, it was Eric Clapton's Change The World. He rose his hand in excitement as it was a nice song by a very famous guitarist. Turns out, it was a Guess-A-Song game and in the end, he went up to stage to answer. Turns out, he had to sing. Knowing Jiajin, he's got stage-fright. He more or less froze like a statue. But a while later, he started singing. Then after a verse, he ran down. Miggled around again and it was the end of the dinner.
As time flew by, the dinner was great. We all took a "family photo", did a nice loud YUM SENG and left shortly. We had out transport arranged by Hui Yi and I'm sure nothing was going to happen, I flew home and waited for Jiajin back at home.
I hope that u guys who have read this entry enjoyed it. And congradulations, u have made it to the finishing line...haha~...Ciao for now.... =-)
P.S: I've heard that some of u guys are dying...well, not dying but want to know who am I. I'm Mr. Loh. ;-)
