lets get the MAD movement rolling...
can't believe that i'm staying up late to post this when i have squash camp tml. think my body's pretty much suited to night life. like way late till 4am after ra introduced bejewelled and hexic to me. a bit of reflection cos i think saturday was awesome! why? cos most of lcia-ers were present for MAD! cool huh? ra, fluff, smo n song. yar. song. haha the one who's always mia. yay! we did christmas tree decoration with ra's friend eric and another stranger joshua. the job wasn't too bad, and the company was g-r-e-a-t. great. had lots of fun, and we walked all the way from orchard mrt down to taka traffic light to get our ice-cream since ra had her lobang there, which didn't really turn out to be lobang. no discounts, no buy 2-get-1-free promotion. why did we walk all that distance? i really wonder why. it's okay cos we've done our part, and ra probably thought we needed more work for our legs. well, its okay cos eric got some lobang from the ice-cream uncle. haha i cant imagine anyone asking the uncle about his business, and his customers, etc etc while buying an ice-cream from him. so funny. sounds as though he's paving his way for job opportunities once he's out of school. i'm sure if u put ra and him and me in one room, i'll be laughing like MAD at them both. nevertheless a nice guy. then song went MAD halfway while we were decorating the christmas trees, laughing hysterically; fluff was MADly caught up with decorating her own christmas tree with silver ornaments; smo was MAD cos she didnt want an ice-cream after a hard day's work; and joshua was MAD -- yup, making a difference, o and he was MAD cos he ate his ice-cream super fast, breaking fluff's record! gosh. certainly has to go into the book of world records!
and sunday was a day of mourning. why? cos our tree is GONE!! ra made the shocking discovery while trying her stint as a self-employed professional photograph attempting to finish 2 rolls of film. unconvinced, i made fluff go with me to put my specially-designed christmas postcard (oops, its the spca postcard actually) at our very own christmas tree. and who knows? the christmas tree there had this tag with "SPCA" on it. hmph. my postcard (or rather spca's) not needed to spell out SPCA's ownership of the tree. definitely not our tree. so sad. haha but the trees beside the dustbin that we decorated were left untouched. not surprising right. so dropped my card there, quite obscure actually. if anyone's going down to the fair, do go and take a look at the card. :) just doing my part to make a difference.
crissxcross days..
somehow or other i got into our previous group blog while resting at ra's new blog. amazing huh? brings back memories. of sc days. of studying at fel's place, tampines poly, and anywhere possible for o's. of literature, of ms sie, of lit-mentoring with ra, of song and zhiqi. of geog class with larissa as partner and smo with grace. of those funny occasions where we stayed back in school and took pictures. o yar that was graduation. and that was when we're out of sc. when we got our graduation certificates. when my parents came to attend sc function for the first time. when we took a picture with coach. where we spend four colourful years. where we made such wonderful friends. where lcia was borned. and there came crissxcross but not for long.

lc keeping fit!
impromptu lc gathering at coro. song smsed me one hour earlier to call for urgent lunch meeting at novena. thankfully, i changed her mind and song, robs and i met up at the nearest makan place from the top of hillcrest (a pity yong tau foo stall wasn't open, otherwise i would probably settle for that instead of squashing one hour of my day away for the sidegate to open. training ended at 12, and gate opens at 1 on the dot). so before i left our beloved second home, i thought of our dear pres, who has a long craving for .... erm ... bubble tea. what's nicer than cheap, cool nj bubble tea? the person who brings you just that, in that case, yours truly.
surprise surprise! i was the early bird for the day, despite coming 5 minutes later than the time we planned to meet. and i was the bearer of the trophy that our dear pres had to run for, cos she dropped off one stop earlier. cheap, cool nj bubble tea. what an honour! went receeing coro while 2nd-in-throne robs made her way there by ... (tada!) mrt!! and bus!!! (applause please). well, shouldn't be too harsh on robs. it's not her first time by public transport anyway, maybe her second, third, fourth... fifth.. :) we settled for the western food stall, can't remember the name though. doesn't help right? cos it's all western at coro, well almost all.
then we gave nus a nice surprise visit at her house. okay. i think the phone call was more of a surprise, since we made a call before popping by. notice the fine tradition of politeness that our dear founders started out with, the rest is up to us to continue. the bus ride from coro to pandan valley was short. was planning to catch a nap or some 39 winks after all that training in the morning, but we were there in a flash. so we dropped by at nus place, ate some snacks, drank some tea, talked a bit, looked at some pictures. that crazy girl actually discovered lcia blog!!! too much free time at home. eh ra, u better get your photog people to collaborate with hers, and get her off our blog. mission 'without a trace' -- all up to you ra.
supposed to play basketball since song brought her ball all the way from home to coro to pandan valley, after so many bus rides plus mrt ride, but either song or robs decided the gym was where lc has to sink its roots in. we went there for 1 and a half hours. song started with the treadmill, and she was scary!! running at 10 (whatever the units was) and the uncle beside her strolling away on the treadmill seemed petrified. robs and i were at the other end of the gym working on our leg muscles too, not that the gym was huge, so we were still rather near each other, and i could feel the heat coming from song. and poor us! we were walking backwards for half an hour before we realised that we could actually walk forewards on that machine! we tried the weights next. pretty cool, but we were soon back to shaping our legs. robs' papa came to join us for a short while, before both of them left for home.
lc gathering officially ended after song and i parted ways at the kk bustop. more exciting activities waiting for lc members.. erm creative fair on 20 nov. be prepared to get the latest gadgets that are bound to keep you captivated and all the more affirm your status as lc member. i'm glad to say that's the only event we have up next. in the meantime, put on your lc thinking caps and come up with more lc activities will you?
defeated
hmph!
wt beat me in bejwelled
she beat me by like..... 15k!!
but her average score...is like half of mine!
wahahha..
but...
how cna she beat me!?!?
hmph
anyway..
this further qualifies me as the CEO of LCIA!
whee.... :)
creative fest tml!
wheeee.....
routine check
think everything's settling down to routine. it's like two weeks into the holidays and it doesn't feel like holidays for me. still going back to school in the mornings, a bit later though, for training, busy doing cip. i haven't got started with our nice holiday package from nj though. there's math, physics and chem. i love the econs department!
had class gathering yesterday. met wanyi at orchard mrt before taking a bus to sam's place. hmph. it's like only 3 stops, but somehow we got lost, and ended up taking a cab to her place. must be the night. we can't see clearly in the dark. pretty good meeting up with the rest. but some of them seem so distant. don't think i'm that attached to the class. just a few of them. then somehow at 9, everyone wanted to watch the champion on ch8. yar. so i was made to watch. wondered what went on for the ch u show. i'm going to miss it again later tonight!! :( last episode's this friday. so anyone who hasn't started appreciating the show, start today! you've got 4 more days.
and i'm tired from training. tired. tired. tired. friendly at tchs this friday. ran a lot today. guys run fast. girls have to train up our leg muscles. tired. tired. tired.
laugh and be happy
wt's mom tried to be funny. wt's mom said to wt: "keep your hair long; your dad will need some to make a wig in the future". [cue: laughter] wt noted that her hair takes ultra long to grow, and her dad is balding gradually. yawnz wt inferred that she's tired and needs sleep. zzZ
bejewelled
bejewelled is officially named lcia's favourite game. thank you md rara for introducing us all to this brilliant game. remember the pringles slogan, once you pop you can't stop? bejewelled must be a product of the pringles company in its plans to diversify. you get the idea? completely addictive! that's bad. got to take my beauty sleep soon. but before i go, i've to thank our dear md rara for staying up with me so that i can finish my game and still be beaten by you! i can't believe it. still under 20000, and the high score on my msn list is like 90000+. time for reflection. hah kidding. sleep tight.
crap?
attention please!

that is the consequence of waiting for wt to finsih her game.... :( lol..but couldnt complete the colouring...bah...
mahjong bridge
let's start this entry by thanking this kind soul who shared her umbrella with our dear smo, in the wet skies of november, even though she was heading for plaza sing while smo was to meet me at the park mall bus stop. yay! then the rain wasn't that heavy after a while. smo n i took a taxi from the bus stop. hee. funny huh? and very shortly we were at ra's place -- the purple building.
and i got it right again. 8th floor. but it's no fun anymore cos i'm getting it right these days. maybe we should come to my place, and everyone will get confused all over again which floor my place is. :D ra was alone at home. as usual song was the last to arrive. yup, that's the pres' air. the pres is never late, the others are just early. i think i got that from princess' diaries? robs at missions' camp, and fluff's in school. [cue for everyone to laugh.. hahaha] and the nice reindeer that we got for ra's birthday is bouncing away at ra's sis' room. so nice.
mahjong table's ready, snacks' out, and everyone got their drinks. smo took a speed course on mahjong from song and i, and she graduated after 15 minutes. wow, and to think we don't see that effect with mugging! 2 hours of mahjong plus munching, and we switched to bridge. yay! we tried so hard to play a proper game of bridge, but i guess we simply can't, with ra looking at song's cards, and all the conspiracy between them even out front. then we tried keeping ra's hamster [nameless] enclosed in mahjong tiles. who's cruel idea was that? everyone's guilty. :( and then ra told us the sorry fate of fattybombom at robs' place years ago. it was a really sad story, but all song could offer was tears from all the laughing. and we all couldn't really figure out the joke behind all that. hmph.
last thing i did before we left was to write song her birthday note on her birthday card that ra and i got her long long time ago. belated. and the card said something like happy 7th birthday. yup, song you have many years ahead. grow smarter and shorter k.
-squash report-
zainal was at the courts when i stepped in. ruifen and tk were training already. at that time, i really thought that was all of the squash team for today's training. but sabu came along, after months of absence, and cat joined us after coach training cos she overslept. phew! there's a lot to work on. sabu's pretty good still, ruifen's pretty much there, and all of us have to work on our stamina.
i tell you, zainal's such an inspiration. he was in some soccer team back in his younger years, and he crossed path with squash while working at the police academy. and my, it took him 18 months to pick the sport and play it well to be crowned singapore's no 1 then, and even toured malaysia to win greater. but he's quite naggy at times, i guess age does that to you. it's been a real honour working with him this year, and the next as well.
the council people [uncle sue and 04s08-er richard] came down at 1130 to do a video on us for seniors' farewell dinner. it was sure difficult convincing tk to be in the video. and in the end, she wasn't! so it was cat, me, and the guys' team. did a beautiful rendition of "we wish you a seniors' farewell...", all in two takes. uncle sue had to help us with our swaying cos we weren't exactly gifted in coordination, at least in the respect of music. both of them were cool about it, even though we didn't exactly take the shortest time to get things done. and the poor dv guy, who helped us out with the filming -- tk and i actually wanted to take his job so that we don't have screen time. alas, our plan was foiled! hope the squash seniors enjoy our very own mtv.
was looking on at the guys' training. 8 rounds minimum, while some of the girls are not reaching 4. they made do even with one court when we crash their training [of course, not delibrately], while we hardly fully-utilise the courts when all was ours. they're increasing training to 4 times; we are still stuck at three. attendance is good for them; we barely scrape the passing grade. there's a lot of comparison made in one day. okies, shall relate you all to the story that zaneta shared during cell last night:
there's this
black dog who saw a
white rabbit, and decided to chase it. the
white rabbit was miles ahead, but the
black dog had its eyes on it, and continued chasing. along the way, every dog from a
terrier to a
spaniel to a
shepherd to a
hound to a
poodle joined in the dog [rat] race. and there was no telling when all these would end. slowly, each
terrier, each
spaniel, each
shepherd, each
hound, each
poodle fell away from the chase. but the black dog persevered on. finally, the
white rabbit succumbed to the
black dog. guess the moral of the story! keep your eyes fixed on where you're heading, and you'll get there somehow. see, all the other dogs did not know what they're chasing after, only the
black dog did. and he gets the
white rabbit in the end.
maybe the girls' team is just chasing a
brown rabbit instead! that's all folks!
RE: letter to all
Dear all, this is your ex-official leader speaking. Have just returned from an
exquisite overseas expedition to the
north-pole. Made some
boring friends there, a wonderful wonderful experience i must say. Glad
that lc has been a great success. Glad to hear that there has been
minimal meetings and
little communication. BUT i must say that this blog is
atrocious!!! terrible i must say,
50 pts off each of your annual pay, and
one more unbearable meeting b4 end of this holiday. NOW, i'm feeling quite happy, because i think i've managed to torture all of you with my greatest punishment.
HAR. Well, if you DO make any form of communication, not excluding this atrocious blog, i'll make further arrangements for more gatherings. i'm feeling sooo much better now, i must say. Well, hope all of you have a
dreadful and horrendous holiday. I'm going to have a much sought after quiet evening with my
darling. have fun.
p.s. u may contact me at this address:
19 greenies rd (*click) but do make it minimal, i'm a busy lady as u can
obviously see
lcia outing: princess diaries
princess mia followed where her heart led. in this dog-eat-cat [i mean dog] world, how often do we let ourselves over the edge? to experience things in a different perspective. the movie was cool -- a nice peek into someone else's romance, where we the faithful ones vow to never tread [or at least by our motto]. i guess most of us will go with the guy that took off with mia's heart. care to put it into practise? btw, princess mia became queen mia by the time we left the cinema. cool?
say yippee!! after pw. say yippee!! again after chinese. and you're done for the year.
mad rush to get movie tix at ps, and we got privelleged losers' club seats -- front row! munching on popcorn which lasted only 1/15 or was it 1/20 of the show, well anyway we survived! headed for kopitiam where song and i pigged out, while robs had her call of duty in the kitchen at home [baking dorcas' bdae cake], and fluff and ra had their other appointments to keep. oops. not so lc afterall.
then it was from shop to shop to shop to shop to shop. guess what song was looking for! no prizes for the right answer. meanwhile a brainchild was in the making. song and i had to source for its profile. after some tedious efforts from song and smo, and stubbornness from the slow network, we finally have our very own lc friendster and lc email. courtesy of song and smo.
more plans lined up for lcia. stay tune! cos our lc pres is bia.
a short history to lcia
lc came about after our founding persons robs and song sat down with their rc mates one saturday morning with absolutely no task on hand. what an ordinary beginning! but i assure you this is no ordinary club. being loser-fied and anti-social was the main objective of the members. soon after, song decided that lc had to expand. and ra (aka bo), smo, fluff n wt were roped in. together the six tried all means to live up to the motto of lc. it was then in january 2004 that robs decided that lc was not for her n left the club. song took over as the leader of lc, and made sure her members define what the club stood for. song made sure that lc meetings were kept to the minimal and members stayed out of contact, in order to keep to her vision for the club. it was then that robs took a turn and rescued lc from the pitfalls. lc has since been renamed lcia, with ia bearing a greater significance. the new vision for lcia: seize the moment, and be in the act. the future is bright for lcia, and greater heights lie ahead to be explored. will lcia fulfil its destiny? we shall wait and see.
