Yep, I went and I'm back. Heh.

Had a freaking awesome time, though I was fashionably late, but I made it in, with much thanks to Alvin Sanjay for registering for me, as the guy at the counter was pretty pissed off or something. Hahah, the stress from too many guests I guess XD

So anyway, the theme's The Golden Era in the USA from the 60s to the 80s and I think I'll let the pictures do most of the job here yep ;)

So this is the one and only Melissa singing the theme song You've Got A Friend, and yeah, I said this countless times but her singing's still awesome, since the first time I heard her sing during last year's FOA. Heh XD

And there were a few performances by the band, the Royal Vanguards as mentioned by Le Nutcase fou, so some pictures I snapped, which are taken at a very bad angle, lol.



So yeah, they were great too, of course, heheh, especially One Way performed by the one and only cracky advisor, as he calls himself, Chris XD I must say =D

Then there was a fashion show, a sketch titled A Painful Lesson, which was pretty hilarious, hahah, and a dance, which was really cool XD



I bet they spent ages practising this dance, heheh.

Mel and Colin, I think that's his name, the stars of the dance floor =D

And yeah, soon after, or maybe before that, there was the Installation, with a certain sergeant-at-arms trying to make me reannounce his post =.= Hahah.

Oh yeah, they made us dance too! I had fun with that, even though I'm completely clueless about the moves, but a Form 6 Interactor from SDJ who sat with us kept on saying that it's perfectly easy and fine, yeah, I felt better. She's really nice =) Though now I feel bad, cos I don't even know her name! Can anybody tell me? She's one of the person who got the lucky draw =) And gosh, I think Alvin Sanjay recorded the whole thing, but I wanna see! XDD Pretty curious to see the expression on my face while I was there dancing with two left feet X)

Next, we had games, definately, lol. At first Najwa and I were totally groupless, as we didn't get the colour draw during the registration, but yeah, after trying to end up in the White team aka The Crazy People, with one of the so-called cute guy that Najwa likes in there, including Menaka, Gan, and Kasturi, Ronald the game master sorted us into the Green team aka The Green Monkeys! XD Our one and only cracky adviser as he calls himself is Chris, credits for the unique and monkey-based name to him, hahah. It was really totally random, he thought it up on the spot as I can see, they only gave a few minutes to think something up.

So yeah, Green Monkeys we are, went on through a whole bunch of people and crazy obstacles in a game called the Interact Race, as named by Ronald, and yeah, had a whole bunch of fun =D

First we had to do this cheering game, whichever team who can think of a cheer for their team in the least amount of time gets 5 points, and so on. Ended up being a monkey-ish human, for real XD

I still have two of the clues from the game :

Each team must send a team or an individual contestant for this game to show their talent. Points will be given as the cheering game. (TALENT SHOW)

We ended up doing a group thing and sang Kenangan Terindah. I think we got points for this one cos we're the ONLY team who sang a Malay song =.= Hahah.

Next, this :

Find a guy who is form 3, Indian, tallest, blue attire.

Found the guy, thought it was Gurjivan, but obviously it wasn't, so in any case we got the right guy, and had to do this matching thing with the theme of Hollywood stars and their respecting leads. We got through that pretty well, and Gurj said he was proud of us, therefore he's gonna add 1 more extra point for us =) But I have no idea whether he really did that or not, so yeah X)

Right, this nice girl volunteered to blow the balloon with the clue in it, and instead of blowing it till it bursts like the rules stated, Chris just happened to take the balloon and stepped on it, and that's the story XD

Then, we had to do this quiz consisting of really dumb riddles, and we didn't get to finish it, sadly. But seriously, the answers were just as ridiculous as the questions XDD

But in any case, the Green Monkeys were in the lead the whole way with 31 points and we were the special people to get the special prize =DD

Split everything up and I took the Twisties XD Chris suggested that we share the sparkling grape wine or thingamajig on the spot, cos everyone definitely deserved it for playing hard and well =) He even went to search for cups for us, that was plain nice and sweet, heh.

In any case, it tasted really sour!

Right, I took the broken cork from the wine bottle that Chris happily broke while trying to open it, lol. Alvin Sanjay apparently tried using a freaking fork to open it, but of course, didn't work out either XDD In the end, Chris went and ask for assistance to open that bloody bottle already! XD

And yeah, Green Monkeys United, babeh! XD

In any case, more pics:

Mel and me =)

Naomi, Kasturi, Gurpreet, and The Ddangae couple =)

Poseurs, poseurs X) They look good but I don't! Heheh XD

The much beloved - Mr and Mrs Ddangae X)

Group Photo 1, spot me if you can ;)

Group Photo 2, and again, spot me with the weird face expression, hahah.

And what I wore in the end :

Man, I was really disappointed I couldn't wear Option 3, that outrageously gorgeous dress, but due to some complications on my back, yes, my back, I didn't get to wear it. Crud. But yeah, I had support from Najwa, and she found that head scarf for me to match the outfit, so yeah, I can't do anything about it now, but hope I looked good yeah =D

What am I saying.

Hell yeah, I DO LOOK GOOD! XDDDDD

The end products from the day - A bag of Twisties, a really nice booklet with that aw-so-cute-ribbon =) and drumsticks. Not ordinary ones, but those with rubber tips. It's a real good gift from a good friend whose name I'm not gonna mention, but yeah, hope you like the chocs, though I doubt you'll ever come across this =] And yep, I'll put the effort needed to brush up the drumming skills yeap =]]

My entry bracelet made into ring. It kept falling off, so thanks Guppy for tying it up for me. Lol.




For more updates, go to Najwa's and Naomi's blog for anything that I may have missed out, and extra info from their point of view =}

Can't wait for Mel's update =D

And concluding the day's event,

I FOUND A FRIEND IN YOU, YOU, YOU, AND YOU :)

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click hereto go back to reading!
