UPDATED UPDATE: i think it would be a good idea to place the BBQ after christmas cos much more people (ie the PRC scholars) can join us.... so let's put it around 27,28,29 k? thanks!
UPDATE: could you guys also tell me whether you are free from 27-30 dec also? because during that period the chinese and malaysian scholars would be returning back to singapore, so we could include them as well...
for the class bbq at huiling's house someday in the week from 17-23 DEC:

thanx too...
for a change.. i decided to blog instead of tag.. since benji has given his round of thanks.. it's now my turn!
so yap.. i wana thank the following....
1) all the TEAS we bought.. there was apple tea, peach tea, lemon tea, green tea...... and they cost only 30 cents per person! now how cheap is that? ;)
2) the cat for being reali irritating.. u wld see shaun disappearing and amandad avoiding.. now how often do u get to see that? ;)
3) the wire exhibits.. without which, some of us wld not have aniting to lame with.. now how fun is that? ;)
4) the night scenery near the riverside.. without which, our photos wld have no nice background.. now how nice is that? ;)
5) the polarbear game.. u get to accuse someone for killing someone, and stil get away with it! that's reali once-a-lifetime! unless of cuz, u decide to play the game with others.. then it'd be twice-a-lifetime?? :X
last but not least....
*drum roll*
6****) the class.. without which, my day wldn't have been so fun, so lively, so enjoyable, so entertaining, so pleasant, so delightful.. (okay.. i ran out of adjectives, took the last 3 from thesaurus.. but.. u get the idea).. i tink todae has taught all of us one lesson..
to be more benevolent... (huh?? well.. i dun get it myself.. haha..) gee.. for one of the few rare times, i left out the 'x's and 'z's in this entry to make reading more pleasurable.. ^.^

i wanna say thank you to everyone who came down today and made this class "gathering" a success. albeit a small number of 20 in total (of which 16 stayed for dinner), i enjoyed myself and hope u did too.
specifically,
thanks to liu pan for being the first to arrive, hearing me tell crappy jokes and chatting with me on the mrt home.
thanks to peng han for giving the morning call at 1 to wake me up and bowled without socks without complaints.
thanks to jingqing for agreeing to come when i first asked him and his message i just recieved.
thanks to learn khang for agreeing to come, for bowling and for hearing me whine about organising this outing. btw, nice hair, shuai-ge.
thanks to leyying and xiaoxia for coming because it's such a rarity that they do, and to them for bowling the last game.
thanks to crystal for turning up to spruce up the atmosphere (learn khang said she should really have came earlier because some element went missing without her presence... hmm i wonder what that means), and for introducing the polar bear game.
thanks to liling for coming early and played the super bishi bashi game with me in the arcade.
thanks to huiling who's such a nice person to talk with and for being so open.
thanks to shuhan for coming to say hi earlier and chatting with me during dinner about cats, rocks and toes.
thanks to huimin (even though she didn't attend) who came with shuhan earlier to say hi.
thanks to tiger for turning up early even though he had just came back from malaysia; it must have been very tiring for him.
thanks to ting jie for coming so early (it was like she rushed over) despite ending her lessons only at 4.
thanks to pris and sixuan for turning up earlier than they should and for letting me swing the sleeping bag in front of them.
thanks to amanda and jacklyn for turning up despite telling me you couldn't earlier.
thanks to sze hwee, denise and peiwen who came together earlier than expected and added to the crowd, which really made me feel much better.
really appreciated the number of people who turned up!
also, sorry to people who couldn't turn up because the date wasn't right for you. sorry! =)))
ms khairani didn't turn up today because she's on MC for three days, hope she gets well soon! have already sms-ed her a summary of today's events.
for our next outing (where i hope we can use our $170), we are thinking of having it at huiling's condominium. in the day(maybe starting from 2) we could have activities like tennis and mahjong, and in the evening(from 5) it would be a bbq session (eugene i need a scout, you, to start the fire). hopefully we can set a date early and she can book it soon. it should be around christmas. then, each one of us going could bring a gift worth about $5 and there would be a gift exchange sort-of-thing going on. hopefully more people can turn up (i know the chinese scholars won't be able to) and this would be turn out a success.
the week 17(sun)to 23(sat) of december seems viable. so pls tag on the tagboard which days in that week u are free. i suppose that if u aren't free in the afternoon maybe u could come in the evening for the bbq (which is just like what many classmates did today)? thanks in advance!
p.s. to everyone who's not feeling well, pls get well soon too! =)

Hey people!
we still have $170 for class outing. so we should start planning now and then maybe after OP which should be after mid nov, we can have a class outing!
sorry, but i suppose chalets are out of question because there shouldnt be any more chalets available at this time already.
Some suggestions:
1) BBQ at ECP
some of us could have cycling/rollerblading trips in the afternoon, while other people get food from NTUC and we could have a BBQ at night at one of the pits.
2) BBQ at someone's house
preferably we get a condo so we can do indoor activities like squash, pool, watch vcds, mahjong, etc in the afternoon, then at night we have a BBQ. question, whose house?
3) Movie at orchard, daytona tournament at arcade, kbox, dinner, chat
i dunno la, basically go orchard for activities, not enough top-up.
4) a trip to the singapore zoo, bird park, night safari, goat farm, fish farm, etc. + dinner at night or something
some trip to some farm for i dunno wad as well.
5) ice skating @ jurong
this explains itself.
okay, pls suggest more if u can, if not give comments!
can i set a time first?
one of the days from 11 (sat) to 18(sat) NOV from 12noon onwards?
i can't confirm anything now so i can't speak to ms khai also. pls tell me more about ur schedules and comments for the places PLEASE!
and also, pls contact ex-classmates who might be in ur instituitions about this!
P.S. If less than 20 people turn up (again), we would not be able to tap on the money. and since this is after promos, after PW, u guys shouldn't have that much committments left right? i sincerely hope u guys can make it =))
