Class Gathering!!!!

WOW!!!! I had such a great time yesterday!!!! Me and about 17 other pupils from my Primary 6 class arranged for a class gathering at Kovan Melody. One of my friends, Ryan Tan stays there and he helped us book the multi-purpose room. However, you need a card to enter the condo. Only residents have this card. So, we arranged to meet at the passenger service at Kovan MRT station.

My father and mother have to go to work. Sad, right? Boo hoo... Anyway, they leave the house at 7.30 and so I tagged along with them. I'm too lazy to take public transport... So, in the end, I reached the passenger service at 8.10 and NOBODY from my class was there. I had to sit... , or squat, in a corner of the station and wait for them. That didn't matter, since my phone has lots of games and I also brought along my PSP with me. At 8.25 or so, Ryan Tan and Kerwin FINALLY arrived. Interestingly, Ian, one of the organizers and the head prefect in my primary school, was still sitting and feasting in Mc'Donalds' at Heartland Mall. Despicable..

Ok, let's just skip to where all the fun started. When the girls went about arranging everything, all the boys grabbed both basketballs Ryan brought down from his flat and went to the court to play basketball. It was real fun but very strenuous at the same time. When we got back to the multi-purpose room, (let's just call it MPR. It was the function room I was talking about earlier) we started one of the games that the games organizer, Emily, and organized (duh...). It was wacko but more interesting. All of us formed pairs, one sitting and one standing. All the pairs formed a circle and one person stood in the middle with a rolled-up magazine. It would start a standing person shouting out a sitting person's name. The person in the middle would then run to the person whose name was called. But before the whacker whacked that poor person, the person standing behind the person whose name was called had to shout out another sitting person's name. If the person sitting got hit, he/she would become the whacker, the person standing would become the person sitting and the previous whacker would become the person standing. The ones who became whackers 3 times and above would have to perform a forfeit later. So it's basically based on your luck and reaction. If the person(s) standing behind you are blur ding-dongs, then you would be the one performing the forfeit.

Actually, the forfeit was not that bad. It was just mixing all kinds of food and drink together and the forfeitees would have to gag it down. In the end, the forfeitees drank Coke mixed with Pepsi mixed with Sprite mixed with Mamee noodle crackers mixed with the seasoning which came with it and strawberry flavoured whipped cream.

After Wacko, we headed to the playground but it was out of bounds. So, we decided to just play around in the pool behind the playground. It was ver shallow, reaching up to between our knees and ankles. There were also rock platforms around. You could jump from one of those to another. Ian, the daredevil, jumped from one to another, gaining momentum, and finally attempted to leap a distance of about 3-4 metres from a platform to another. He failed and splashed water all over his clothes. I tried too. The problem was the water between the 2 platforms in question were divided into 2 levels, one reaching up to my ankles and the other between my knees and ankles. I landed in the deeper one. Actually, not landed. More like fell. The result was me dripping all over from head to toe. However, Ian was worse. He did about 5 pushups IN THE WATER. No mean feat??? I think not. Later on, me, him and Jerome Kwok did about 10. We then went on to slide in the slide into waist-high level water.

Luckily by then it was afternoon so we three went to sunbathe in the deck chairs by the deep pool. Pius was fooling around with some tennis balls. One flew near his right foot. He kicked it. It rebounded against the plastic of the karaoke room and flew into the pool. None of us wished to get our clothes wet some more and therefore nobody went into the pool. Furthermore, we had to take off our shirts before doing so and of course the boys didn't dare strip in front of the girls and the girls didin't dare strip in front of anybody. In the end Ian had to ask a woman swimming to get it for us. We killed Pius for that. His funeral was today at 3pm.

After that wasn't very interesting. We just played a lot of basketball and ate lunch and played hide-and-seek around the whole condo. Me and Jerome Kwok hid in the carpark. We went home at about half past 3.

The result?? Today my hands and feet are aching like mad and I discovered in the morning that I had sunburn on both my shoulders as I wore a singlet yesterday. Sigh...
