when the torch is passed.

Ah it just occurred to me that I should really blog before the end-of-years start and I can't allow myself to get distracted by the evils of blogging when you're supposed to be studying.
dang.

rgco chairperson elections yesterday was um not exactly smooth-sailing, but I shall not say more than that. Loved all the speeches. Would never have been able to deliver such a speech if I were to ever try out for the chair of some sort (which will never happen, end of story). But mmm whatever the outcome, nina koh amelia and wenyun are four equally competent and superb nominees. So I shall not have any bias whatsoever, because bias is one of the things I detest the most (besides fishcake and sweet sweet jelly).

HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY JASSELYN the super retired xianyue SL! :) but I already wished you at 12.15am on the actual day you sillybillywillynillydonkey! Hope you like our donkey though. I saw a cute brown hairy bison at the toy shop and I think it resembles you more than the donkey though! AHAHA.

So while deciding stuff for handover, the whole comm and xianyue got a cake each for the lucky birthday girl! I love the cake. LOVE IT. note to self: buy ice cream cake for mum's + my birthday

then after the whole decision making stuff was finally over, yuyue and I couldn't find a proper place to mug so we went to mug at the amphitheatre steps (the part that remains dry even though it's raining). We were quite productive leh, managed to read some geog notes before nice wonderful daddy came to fetch us both home. Talking to fellow pervert yuyue makes car journeys seem extremely abnormally short (: but there was alot to talk about. so yeah. By the time we reached home it was SUPER dark.

rest of the day was abit ________.

:D

And now for today.
NDP celebrations!
was horrible (in the earlier stage), mostly due to my snivelling and nose-blowing almost every second. I used up so much tissue, mum thinks I should marry a man who works in a tissue paper factory. Stupid sinus. Goes on and off until I have to depend so much on vitaminC pills and this absolutely yummy wonder fruit drink that REALLY DOES HELP. good thing my aunt introduced it to my family. We sort of chionged our class fashion show outfit, cutting up all the used parking coupons, signs and whatnots and sticking aluminium foil all over the umbrella. And the script which took about 20 hellish minutes to write, but turned out great thanks to becca elaine wil and dorcas' help, and vic's wonderful impromptu narration which made the messy script sound so good. :) what happened to kim ah?

last NDP celebration in rg.
lesson learnt? Don't dance together with the cheerleaders in front. Unless you want to look like some weird moving speck amidst a bunch of stoners. +_= seriously, I DON'T DANCE. Community singing got a bit high with those bunch of crazy people, but I guess that's the way we are. (:

and after that was.........................
RGCO HANDOVER 2008! (to comm 2009). :D
Met up with bao and yingbao upstairs to go pack our bags, then we went down together and on the way i met hil! who i regrettably owe an almost-2-year-old letter. Ah. It will come. hooray. still the same nice skinny hil hor. heehee. :D
and terrible willette kept screaming at me to hurry up. TERRIBLE POK = TABLE PORK. (which is Conversational Gourmet According to Amooooooooooolia the BLUR.)

Shall give comm'09 a clap and a pat on the back! (:

Announcing the results was super odd for me, I have no idea why. It's kind of sad that I'm handing over the job to koh and jiaqian, but I'm sure those two will make a pretty good team. I think we chose the right people for comm- koh for SL, jiaqian for ASL, chewlin for treasurer, and yixin and claire as comm members. We trust y'all ah.
This totally reminds me of last year's handover- seeing yuyue's shock of being in maintenance, and being scared about SL-ship and the initial part of working with koh. Time flies so fast these days, it's just scary. Gonna miss being SL, it was fun while it lasted, including those pretty stressful and frustrating situations. Life's gonna be alot less colourful now. I suddenly miss playing david the wonderful shiny top-grade gaosuo which has served me so well this whole year, and morpeng the old zhongsuo! If only I could get hold of a free soundproofed room. Then it'd be so much easier to play. guess all I can do now is stick to flute, though it's not the same as playing suona. :/ I MISS THE OLD TIMES. But it's time to move on. Enough.

so comm'09. do your thing, baybeh.

After handover a bunch of us chuiguan people went to dhoby for section lunch, initially wanted pizza hut but went to BK instead. I feel so incredibly sinful and fat after eating those french fries. It was alot of fun talking to stace esther chewlin jiaqian and bao, who are highly amusing people. I am still very, very, very, very tickled by the fact that stacey kicked her koala bear (or supposed SQUIRREL) out of the sleeping bag at camp, at that we caught it ALL ON CANDID CAMERA. >:D
chewlin jiaqian esther and I went shopping for awhile at the basement, we spent a good solid one hour plus window shopping, though chew and I did buy stuff- M&M CHOCOLATE DISPENSERS! I lovelovelovelove my nice new incredibly orange m&m mini dispenser, so i can eat chocolate without feeling too guilty. Chew got the blue one. :) and in addition to that I got nan quan mama's album at a really (unbelievably) cheap price. RETAIL THERAPY- WORKS EVERY SINGLE TIME.

So here I am entertaining yubo on msn, half asleep, exhausted from watching olympics and talking for a solid hour and a half with dear bao on the phone, banging on the piano, giving jiaqian nice nice pointers and mugging geog. Shall go sleep now.

HAVE YOURSELVES A HAPPY RUBBER DAY.
(and national day!)
