eventful august

Hmm, looks like this August is gonna get quite eventful. Before I elaborate, I'd like to announce a good news and bad news. Good news is, Everyone in NP TKD passed the grading. Bad news is, no one, including me myself got a double for this grading... haizz.

Back to main, on Friday the 12th, I went to the MTE games and fun night. I was quite alone since I was the only one from my class that went to the event, though people from my LG12 lecture group/Taekwondo people could recognize me and all of us talked together. It looked like the $2 I had to pay for the event was worth it. Because I got a free door gift at the start and more importantly, a buffet dinner complete with a good barbecue where I ate to my heart's content, like everyone else. [I was amazed at the amount of BBQ food they had ordered for this event] I wasn't really very sure when the whole thing ended since I had left at about 9.10 to go home and get my bike for my expedition with my gang at 10pm later on. Basically, I was following the whole group to Bukit Batok's Alif Restaurant for some supper.[I ordered 3 drinks there btw.] Looks like their teh is quite nice though it's very sweet. Like many Malay/Indian Muslim coffeeshops, it's their creative, innovtive and satisfying drinks that really attract the crowds at night. No wonder Alif was so crowded with many cars parked on the main road when we reached that place. Then all of us cycled home passing Bukit Batok and Jurong East and reached home at about 12am. After all, the feeling of cycling at night is really wonderful especially when you can speed down pavements without having to slow down often. :D

Then yesterday, I was doing gamemaster work at one of the forty checkpoints in the CDB area. Basically, I was part of an event called Heritage Walk [夜寻历史] organized by PICO, an events management company. It was quite fun for me and Kah Chun, the leader to set up the checkpoint 29, which is optional for participants. Before that, I attended a briefing on what to do during the Heritage Walk and what was to be expected and so on.[my group was late and could only change into our tees during lunchtime] The lunch was a buffet spread with 2 main courses and 4 side dishes, though it was very average.[Friday's buffet was more delicious] At 2pm+, everyone packed up and brought the relevant props that were needed to set up the checkpoints. My team reached my checkpoint at the Merlion Park at around 2.40pm. The weather was hot and I was literally melting under the hot scorching sun. Though the breezes helped a little. At 3.30pm later, 3 more students from Changkat Changi Secondary came to join us in our work and by 3.45 pm, we had finished our set-up of the checkpoints though we still had to wait for the storyboard and the battery to arrive. All of us slacked until about 5+, when the first participants arrived. Basically, all our work was stamping 'passports', giving instructions to them and executing what we were supposed to do. All of us packed up at about 8.25pm and left at 8.35 when we were sure that there aren't any more contestants coming. Then my group proceeded to the plaza outside UOB building along Singapore River to meet up with everyone from NP who had participated in the event. Meanwhile, we had sponsored MacDonald's burgers and Milo for dinner. After some slacking around, we went off at about 10.15pm to go home by MRT. The ironic thing is, I actually went home by the round-loop North-South line which was like abit dumb to me, but never mind, since a few others going to Jurong East also went by that route. On the way home, all of us Primers talked among ourselves with one another. Just don't know why the other guy beside Terence was so horny when he asked about that girl in Ter's HP-.- Then everyone was tired by now and slept on the train until we reached our destinations... On the whole, everyone had a fun time slacking around, though we were tired.

To end off, I took 2 photos of the Merlion in the day and night and a lighted-up Esplanade at night. But I'm not really very sure how to upload them here...
