Netball Saturday and Big Balls Sunday

Sat was pretty ok as we only had discussions and amazingly, NETBALL to end our day! Even though we played under the torturous hot sun, it was all worth it. Nim, managed to shed a few pounds, and together with Venetia battled the 2 attackers, Tuty and Chiku. On the other side, Rezal partnered with Hafizah to battle against Colonel and Siti. The score was tied at 2-2 at halftime. Rezal, being a tchoukball player, was not used to throwing balls into nets. he missed SEVEN times. But after being challenged by Queen, managed to start scoring on the eighth try onwards!


Sunday was definitely the most knocked out day for most of us! omg~ die can?! oh wells, apparently everyone still survived.. =) y do i say we can die?! we had to do so many rounds of the whole storyboard with only ard 5-10 mins of rest after completing one set of the story! the legs all becoming like jellyfish after doing loads of dancing.. hmmm.. very tired lehhh~


nevertheless, each dance group improved alot especially the bhangra dance! *sings the nimales song - Nima, Nima, Nimales~ they are getting so good and i think Wendy is dancing like a pro bollywood dancer! *feweeet* butttt, Rezal is forever knocking Mumtas while dancing.. when can he ever stop doing tat?! -_-" Not forgetting, Boon Kian's expression whenever he dance (so comical!)



during the first few rounds of the practice, we did no recording.. but for the last round, we did a recording and we manage to see each others mistakes and how to improve the dance to a new level!


watching the video is really very funny!!! Desmond was commented for having big b#**s! I think that is very MANLY of him, don't ya think? *ahem...haha! oh and we anticipated and waited, and anticipated and waited for Boon Kian's solo move only to realise that as soon as he jumped forward to start his solo, he was not captured within the camera's angle! HORROR! not forgetting Tan Charmaine who went up the stage with one fan for her chinese dance. and then went frantically backstage to get another while the rest waited with their pose!! this is slapstick comedy at its best!


next training onwards will be at SOKA! it's getting very close to our PDC!! *bites fingers* let's pray we put up an excellent performance.


Lastly, to the muslim SPYs, we wish you SELAMAT HARI RAYA! Maaf zahir dan batin!

The day where we showed what we were capable of.....

20th Sept was a day of labour intensive session....It was the day that was a little unusual and at the same time it was a day that unveiled the 'other side' of some individuals. Stay tuned to find out more......

This is the group involved in the making of the contingent board assisted by the laundry group. It seemed like the most easiest activity among the 3 ...... but it definitely was not. Kudos to the team which persevered and made the perfect boxes for everyone. Esp to Tuty and Hanzhi who slept very little the night before...hope you gals are sleeping right now... :)

And.....our beautiful backdrop for our contingent board. I shall say it now before anyone does....ours will be the best contingent board on board. :p



The group involved in the repacking of the goodie bag taking a well deserved break. :)


The team in charge of laundry who gave it their all. I must say that we did a great job. Well done!
Make a guess who this might be! :)

Our dearest dance guru Nim, getting down on his knees....this time not to propose to Wendy but to do laundry. Impressive rite....

Our dearest boon kian seriously at work the next day. Hmmm....now given my height of 1.5+ metres, what should i climb on? :p

A Randomness and Retrograde of Pixels Days... SSEAYP SICK...

Yup, it's one of those random things we post and the randomness of pixels days and then we all start pondering when these are taken...

Yup, the 5 people you meet in heaven discussion group, the same day my mortal came to me pulling my sleeves, " I know who's my angel!! I know who's my angel"... When hers was just standing there...


TOTORO wishing us all the best in our endeavours and hope for the contingent! Praying hard for PDC...

Some kind of attempt by our YL to bun Violet's hair that...

failed miserably and earned Rezal a HUGE and probably cruel laugh from Kaifen... Look at the shock written on the face...


Everyone crowding around _________... Fill in the blanks...

The group who thinks who wants to be the last from the start...


to the group who's really the last... See how much fun both team had thinking they are not going to win! Hahah... too much fun, man...



Guess... You think I'll tell you... NO!!


Our Humble Hero... Why? Tsk, tsk... joggle that memory of yours abit...

By now, you've realised I hadn't said anything about last weekend... Hahah.. There's loads of dancing, dancing and more dancing from the east to the west.. we danced our way through.. Kudos to every group for remembering the steps at the end of the Sunday Practice...

That's all folks for the randomness of the week... Till we blog again... Brought to by "Guess Who"... Maybe if feeling nice will put up some of you folks dancing... Till then, enjoy the new song... cannot play too much of the same thing or else we'll all get sick of it!

Last Residential Weekend :'(

The 2-month long Orientation Programme has finally come to an end… Although that frees up a lot of time for us, we’re all feeling a little lost without spending our Tuesday nights together! Of course, though, everyone’s still busy preparing for the Pre-Departure Concert and for the actual trip itself!

ANYWAY, must talk about our last residential weekend first!

Our last residential weekend (Aug 30-31, 2008) was held at NACLI... and i think it was the most exciting weekend EVER!!! on the first evening, after all the speeches, it was ANGEL REVELATION TIME!!!

so we finally found out who those presents (or lack thereof) were coming from!

after the revelation we all went out for supper at Fongseng. Why is this bloggable? because NACLI usually locks itself up (no actually the guards lock the gate) at 11pm, so no one's supposed to enter or exit after 11pm. we'd have to wait till the next morning! this resulted in us calling in supper from Mac's for more than 2 weekends already.

BUT... because it was our last weekend, exceptions could be made, right? so we spoke to the guard about it and went off for supper at Fong Seng (WHY WASN'T THIS DONE EARLIER!!) but actually to be exact we ate at The Cheese Prata Place, not Fong Seng, although the entire stretch is often collectively referred to as Fong Seng.

Okay its not our first time there, but this time we have so many of us! We found out that other than being a security guard at Ping Yi Sec, Rezal (mao mao maomaomao) was also an abang at the cheese prata shop! he came around and started taking orders - how efficient!

after supper we were all so tired. so we went back and had a good night's rest.......


only to wake up late the following morning!!!!!!

many of us didnt even brush teeth when we ran down for our usual PE lessons with Mr Rezal and Ms Ang.

This time they decided to torture us by making us run up the hill to Kent Ridge Park... where we had a crash course on Singapore history with Ms Tng at Point266 (i'm randomly quoting)... which is part of the hill where we can oversee the drain where many Malay soldiers jumped across when escaping the Japanese soldiers after days of fighting on the hill.

It was a little solemn at first but when jogging back to NACLI we decided to start cheering! and the many healthy Singaporeans who were also jogging at KR Park on a Sunday morning were amazed by our cheers! Some even cheered along! Cheers are contagious.

The afternoon was less exciting, though equally fruitful... we had a meeting with the Orientation committee to conclude the Orientation Programme... only to be told how often we still had to meet up thanks to cultural practices!

ITS OKAY, ITS ALRIGHT... S-P-Y, S-P-Y FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

i'd like to cheer hanzhi and tuty on for contingent booklet, siti for cultural performance ... and many others who have other things to rush. JIAYOU!

That's all for now!! BYE!


sorry to burst your bubble this entry was written by yours truly,

At the beginning...

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
How aptly the first verse describes us...
