I’m way behind time. Shall skip some ba :D

WARNING: long post.

Friday officially marked our liberation!! A recount on op: the whole group was really nervous, and could feel our nerves short-circuiting on all counts. We were crossing our fingers that none of us will have an acute power failure later during the presentation. >< what’s worse was that I've only briefly looked through the list of questions that we spotted for q&a. So obviously, I couldn’t recall any bit of useful information that I had gathered from it. The feeling of unpreparedness was practically eating me alive, and I was slapping myself stupid for my over-confidence (that of course ceased to exist at that point in time). But then again, it turned out that all our worries were unwarranted, since they shoved me with a question that we won’t have thought about in our lifetime. Or rather, even if we’ve pondered over it, there’s no satisfactory answer we can get out of it. Well, you see, they asked me which companies would sponsor our lucky draw on cultural diversity. There’s no way we can answer for sure, unless we go knocking on their doors seeking their approval, isn’t it?

We didn't do that great, I would say. But I think we did ok on the whole. Kai Yun and Phuong Ha gave really long answers that actually made a lot of sense. I need to applaud them for their wittiness. Was really awed by how they could link from one point to another (when I really see no connection between them. But when they pointed it out in plain words, I was totally convinced.). Like wow, they can really think on their feet, it’s amazing! I’ve got a lot to pick up from them. HAHA! (: Patrick’s stumbles were a pity. :/ That’s not to say that I didn’t stumble at all, that is. I was so nervous, my heart was jumping out right before the presentation. Spent all my time calming myself down, I didn’t really observe how I was doing. Hopefully, I didn’t look too rehearsed. Though more than often, I should look like I’m merely going through motion, since I had almost no control over what I was doing. :x But in any case, I’m really happy that it's over! Just pray for the best ((: for now, let's kiss goodbye to all the strenuous nights of pw! *opens champagne to celebrate* WHEE :D

Then the pilgrimage to Mr Cheong was really fruitful. Most of the guys received backpacks worth (I’ve no idea, but heard that it’s at close to a hundred for most :O). Yit Khai has always been associated with green. What green bag, green jacket, green shirt… In giving him a green army-like haversack, it means to extend his reputation as a green man? LOL. Matthew got a really cool bag. It’s the first time I’ve seen once of its kind, it’s a little difficult to describe it. Erm, there is a lot of storage space in it. Mr Cheong said he used to use it to carry his heavy skis, so it must be really strong, durable and handy (:

Parting with a dozen backpacks is still acceptable, since most of them came to his possession as free gifts and he didn’t need them anymore. Besides, it’s taking up space in his house and he probably can’t sell them. So the next best alternative is to pamper us with these expensive trinkets. :ppp then he offered me his Sony T700 and linying his second smallest digital camera (I can’t remember the model). Like OMG? They’re nearly brand-new and he was willing to part with it without any qualms. But what really shocked us was when kaiyun asked him for a laptop and he said yes so readily to it. :O <- can you see my jaws dropping? And imagine around ten others doing the same at that time. (: Then we jokingly requested for his Mercedes Benz HAHA. He’s seriously too generous to be true. And it’s really funny when he advised us not to follow in his footsteps in years to come. LOL.

Bridge. Small team match with the juniors (: was it today that we had sambal chicken at Golden Rooster? Oh yes, it is. I wasn’t even half way through but my tongue was so numb, I couldn’t continue eating. Sambal spice ftw! It’s such a pity, cos it’s so tasty but I couldn’t stomach it :x but I’m glad I got to eat as much as I could anyway (: I didn’t know Shaun Lum could take so much spiciness. Yuanxi was transferred so much chilli sauce over to his plate, but he still ate it as per normal, as if it’s a non-spicy dish. X) Julian was perspiring and gulping down his milk tea like crazy, so I guess he couldn’t take a lot of spice as well. But he managed to polish the plate clean in the end too. Pro. Thumbs up for everyone! :D OH and Shaun kept niao-ing me. I was glad to have Yuanxi and Yen Seow shooting him down, whenever he tried something funny. Thanks guys, I really appreciated it :DDD and Shaun, wait till I dig out something. *evil smiles* LOLx.

Watched 2012 with Claudia! (: oh what we did was epic. There were 4.15 and 4.55 shows coming up, when we arrived at the counter. But the 4.15 show was flashing red. It’s supposed to mean that tickets were “selling fast” but somehow, we thought they were sold out! So we asked for a pair of 4.55 tickets. The staff gave us 4.15 tickets but we went off without double-checking. So, after loitering around the shopping mall and the shophouses around it, we came back just in time for the 4.55 show. And miraculously, the staff let us in. I guess neither of us sensed anything amiss. Maybe the staff wasn’t paying attention to which theatre we were headed towards in any case. So yea, off we were, happily pushing our way into cinema 2 (that’s where the 4.15 show was already showing), only to find ourselves in the middle of the show. -.- we were really stunned, it took us a while to realise what was written on our tickets and went to ask for a change. OH we were really really lucky. From fourth row seats in the 4.15 show, we were given the last row for the 4.55 show. So we could watch really comfortable. HI FIVE CLAUDIA! Maybe it pays to be blur sometimes :P

Anyway, the show was great! I love the digital visual effects. It looked real, I won’t have guessed it’s animated. Instead I’ll think it’s a fantastic documentary, if I’m to live several generations later and these incidents really did happen. ((: I like the way they injected a human touch to the film. They handled the emotions pretty well, I almost cried towards the end. But it’s rather subtle though, so it wasn’t too clichéd. Not a normal disaster film (: one setback maybe it’s a little too long. I found it hard to sit still for 2hours and a half straight. Or maybe it’s just me.
