"Trainees, now is body maintenence. Lights out is in about half an hour's time, get a good rest. Carry on."

***

"Eh, tell your squad...hot ice. Fall in at the cookhouse in your JNCO tee. Carry on."
"*lag.* HOT ICE!!!"

***

Lol. JNCO was amazing.
I shan't elaborate much here, but I remember for the first half of camp I'd thought the seniors had been exxagerating, maybe it was different because of the style of training.
Then I realised they were right.
I saw squadmates doing totally unexpected things.
I was both shocked and surprised.
And I hope I did my best and played my part as part of the squad.

***

"Your left, your left, your left right!"
"Dunman!"
"Your left right!"
"St John!"
"Your left right!"
"JNCO!"
"Your left right!"
"Serve With Pride!"
"We shall not be moved..."

***

I'm definitely proud of my squadmates. GOOD JOB EVERYONE, WE DID IT!!!
I'm gonna start emoing already.
THANK YOU SQUADMATES! (:
And not forgetting the seniors.

Random CRV shots. when we went to watch sunrise.

Ang's retarded expression

Ang's other retarded expression.

Yes, so what if i'm wearing squad tee? it's nice to wear(:

Took some sky shots on ang's cam. this one's my fave.

Remember these?

4/12: Kim looks constipated; vernon looks...funny; clar's face is half hidden; clare looks cute (ahem) with ponytails; shawn looks retarded (both facial expression and haircut); the guy's faces look, well, different, and yangle looks simply idiotic. Oh, Ivan and Jeeves are there! Some people are unrecognisable, especially the guys.

5/12: A horrible mess. Lots of new people. This time, clare's face's hidden; lim's almost totally gone; Ivan and Jeeves are still present; slime's actually smiling; loads of cow ears on zls, susan teo and nemo; big mac's got his tie yanked (by me); nemo's crossed eyed, i just noticed; vernon still looks retarded (he's got specs too)and now so does ang.
5/12 again.

6/12: Everything looks relatively normal. Vernon's gone; Mala's wering this gigantic anti-drug collar pin; fonny and ang are giving huge grins; J.Foo somehow looks like he just woke up. Everyone finally looks somewhat similar to what they currently do. I swear, this is the smallest class pic I've ever seen.
6/11 and 6/12 combined. Messiest ever. Clar is...rubbing her eyes?; shorya's spacing out; yangle, ang and matt look...idiotic; big mac's being strangled; Ivan and Jeeves have disappeared ( i think); J.Foo looks like a madman; slime's stoning - calm in the midst of confusion; I'm holding clare's Biscuit. As for the rest, go see for yourself.
I wonder who has the one in which ___was doing the split and __had contorted into a one-leg-round-neck pose... Should have gotten that one...Censored for the sake of someone's reputation.

will post jumpshots etc tomorrow.

just returned from 6/12 class chalet, aka CRV- class reunion V.

day 1.
got a ride from my parents to costa sands, since my dad was on leave, and my mum was helping us check in, so clar (who helped carry stuff like skewers from ang (dunno why, but that seems to be the shortest thing I could think of to call him), C=clare and clar to my house, ending up looking like crazy idiots with lots of bags), kim (who came over after I invaded her house to return her the books Ive borrowed for about 2 years) and I followed them there.

we unpacked (which really means 'dump bags upstairs') and everyone went to get the BBQ pit. I stayed with slime and nick neo (i think) at the chalet, and slime started playing with his lighter and bottle of lighter fluid, so by the time the rest returned, slime'd started a fire in the drain.

then halfway through the BBQ it rained, so we moved it indoors. kim started screaming "I DEFY YOU!" at the sky with her umbrella in her hand (we were using it to shield everyone from the wet wind) and the floor indoors became excessively wet and sticky. We also dumped loads of cow shit (what we named the fire starters) and lighter fluid in.

I decided to move indoors after awhile and sat with kim on the 2 extra matresses (the gym mat sort) and savoured lots of sausages while listening to mrbrown podcasts on her phone.

After everything we decided to mop the floor. So kim and I trekked to the main lobby, discovered there were no mops to be borrowed, walked around in the pool, got yelled at from a distance by the lifeguard, went back and broke the news. In the end, we had a very interesting time cleaning up the floor.

We decided to splash loads of water around the first floor's floor, and had a hell of a time trying to sweep it out the front door with our feet. slime and suggested putting our feet together and standing in a line, and as a result everyone who did that ended up looking like a penguin -.- The we realised we could just use to toilet door for the water at the back. After we finally managed to sweep and mop up almost all the water (leaving the floor just damp) with our feet and one floor mat (slime and I had to wring it countless times), clare(not slime, as I thought) discovered the broom (the plastic sort) in the cupboard under the sink -_- but at least we managed to use it on the front porch. A toad/frog jumped around our assorted shoes, sandals and slippers/flipflops. We had to chase it away with the broom.

Then the cleaning crew (I think there was still clare, and and some others) sneaked some drinks and had our baths. Clare was first I think, then I managed to bathe within 5 minutes. I wonder how I did that, but I think it'll come in handy for JNCO.

Later on clar, clare, fonny, kim and ang attempted to to remake 'the mysterious ticking noise' with shawn filming, and me being the ticking noise (whacking a skewer on the banister). They used a pack on giant pocky as the pipe bomb, which literally exploded in the fan.

At first we watched V for Vandetta (NC16, I think. Or was it M18? it was brought by clar) in the room, but in the end everyone moved downstairs except for kim, lim, shawn and me, who eventually fell asleep in upstairs. When they returned we woke up, and decided the guys would have the bed and the girls would get the gym mats on the floor. It turned out to be a good choice, because apparently ang, who was sleeping at the edge of the bed, froze. Let me explain. At one end of the room, there was the cupboard, which had the aircon above it (and my guitar in it, yes I brought my dear guitar along), then next to it (in the direction the aircon was blowing) there were the gym mats, then the 2 beds we'd pushed to the wall. Ang was sleeping at edge at the aircon side, so for the whole night we could hear him sniffing, and in the morning he was complaining about almost falling off onto the mat (where I would have got squished if that was the case) and freezing to death.

day2.
woke up before 6, and climbed over the fence that was supposed to be open. I though I wouldnt freak out, but in the end the guys helped boost me higher up to swing my legs to the top. It was pretty fun, really.

Went to a breaker to watch sunrise, only to realise it was facing the wrong direction. But that kinda helped, because it let us take some interesting photos. Took loads of jumpshots and otherwise camwhored. Some of us climbed down along the slope of the breaker, risking falling into the ocean, but not really, and took pictures. Ang looked mostly retarded in them, beacause he was talking.

marshmallows and last night's remains for breakfast. a few wings and marshmallows got burned, and we used them as fuel.

truth or dare. dares included calling the neighbours 'freaking cavemen', jumping on the bed shouting 'yay', and doing belly dance.

Then there was lunch at BK, where the guys complained the girls were anorexic (we shared 1 upsized meal, 1 iced milo, and fries fonny couldnt finish.

After that, the forbidden sport: bowling. Forbidden since my mum insists is bad for my back, which only has a slight curve. Oh please. My senior has that problem for real, and she can bowl.
Anyway, I somehow manageed to own the first two games witha score of 50 plus and 77, then screwed up the third with a plastered thumb, and got owed by clar. Ang also demanded a plaster, and we ended up taking a shot of our plastered thumbs with his cam. Shawn owned the forth game between him and lim with a score of 77, tying with mine. Bought loads of can drinks for Snape's brew, plus a 6-pack of red bull.

Went back and played cards. After a while I introduced them to the cards version of heart attack, and we invented the Fonian (or was it Fonnish?)counting system. It started with him saying rubbish for his turns rather than proper numbers, and when he was supposed to say 11 he said 'lulululu', and the card really happened to be a jack. We'd already started to scramble languages since I'd started talking in chinese and teochew. In the end, we took a video of us using the new system of counting:

1-ichi
2-scratchy (I came up with this after being reminded of the calamime lotion cheer)
3-san
4-shi
5-go
6-liu
7-qi
8-ba
9-wumbade (from the indian train station announcement, it sounded more interesting than sembilan)
10-shi (or was it ten?)
11-lululu
12-twelve (later changed to crivens or something)
13-thirteen (later changed to dumbledore)

later on there were still more additions, plus signs by clar, kim and some others.
Ordered 4 pizzas from canadian pizza at 6 plus. it was supopsed to be at 6.12 pm, but we kinda missed it, so we called a few minutes later.

Pizza, coke and snape's brew for dinner. Oh, and grapes.

Then we watched POTO (phantom of the opera, brought by me) on slime's laptop. We all kept singing along but changing the phrase 'phantom of the opera' to 'POTO', which sounded quite wierd in the end. Ang kept drinking red bull throughout the time after we bought the 6-pack. I realised how bloody sweet it was. I could actually smell the sweetness just by sittting beside him! what the heck. I swear, whoever drinks enought of it ends up having a breath like someone who's got hyperglycaemia.

After that was truth or dare. We kept changing positions. Those who wanted to sleep slept on the bed, aka clar and shawn. Clar fell asleep reading, with her finger on the next page. Shawn fell asleep with his earphone on, looking dead. Everyone else sat on the mat. A few ghost stories, when kim scared the hell out of me with her special effects, and then truth or dare, when we all just lay on the mat and crapped. I fell asleep halfway, and woke up not long later to be told it was my turn. Then I really fell asleep not long later. According to the others, I fell asleep when I had moved from my position in the corner to lying with my head in the middle. Then later on ang decided to take up a space somewhere that also took up alot of space and said something about seeing 'how 6 people were going to fit in'.

day3
In the morning , I was awoken by slime's phone alarm. Discovered it was 6.30, too late to watch the planned sunrise-watch. Swore. Slime also woke up, then went back to sleep. I discovered I'd forgotten my previous sleeping position, and found a space between shawn's and slime's/ang's (dunno which one) head, where I had a surround sound of muttering. According to ang, he once sleepwalked and woke up to find a knife in one hand and 4 quarters of an apple in beside the other. what the heck. In the end I moved in beside kim and clare, in ang's old position at the edge of the bed. Thank goodness I'd cooerced him into lending me his jacket.

Woke up for awhile, heard clare get up, and immediately got kicked by kimberly, who seemed to be having a fit, for a short while before giving up and goign downstairs to find ang, clare, and slime. Ang commented it seemed like we'd all been on crack, because we were all sniffing.

Cup noodles for breakfast, somebody decided to have two cups, and the we packed up and left.

Went to pasir ris park, where shawn and i went to the beach and got our slippers stolen. clar told me ang had hidden them. He denied it flatly for about a minute, then told us it was nearby. Finally got told by clar it was hidden by some bags.

It started raining, and we moved to the toilet area (it had a drink machine) when it lessened slightly. Finally escaped and took a bus to white sands. Stoned at the library to wait for the lunch crowd to lessen and discovered clar's funny jumpshot expressions. Took some $9 (which was the same number of people we had). I still havent scanned them in yet, which I was supposed to. Lunch and taiti at Kopitiam. Shared ice kacang with clare, lim and ang, and accidentally choked some at clar and ang who were sitting across me. Whoops. After that we stole kim's soup. At first clare was playing taiti, but she later decided she was bored and changed places with shawn. Left at about 5 plus.

That's about all for CRV, 2-4 dec 2008. Hope they'll change the next date to other than 19th dec, which is during JNCO, so can meet them again. meeting next week too. maybe.

Watched staff xunlin's 40th dance video (finally) today. Still attempting to understaand the formation. I hope I dont have to do a solo. And my winter scarf's disappeared mysteriously. strange. *SWEAR*

and now off to dinner.
