Hello people I'm back. Yes, with a funny looking new blog address. It actually means starting afresh. I want to start life afresh, hence the name of the url.
Well the class outing was fantastic! Super! Outrageously Fun! Here are the people who went:
1) Bradley.
2) LM
3) Nick Chua :)
4) RC [Surprise] :D
5) Gabriel [Surprise]
6) Ashburn :)
7) Sihan
8) Jasmine
9) ME!
So about the time I arrived, Bradley and Nick Chua were at Macs liao. RC and Jasmine arrived shortly after then Gabriel and Ashburn suddenly appeared. Actually Ash was the earliest; he was walking about JE Entertainment Centre. Then Sihan appeared and finally LM. We set off for Fuji Ice Palace. There was some confusion at the entrance as there was 9 of us. 8 of us can split into 2 groups of 4 to go in, but one person must go in alone. Actually Ash was supposed to go with another group of strangers, but Nick Chua willingly paid for his own and went in. So me, RC, Gabriel, and Ash went in together. Another big confusion arised at wearing the skates. I was frustratingly trying to jam my leg into the skates, but managed to do so in the end. Then I helped RC tie his shoelaces (It's his first time skating mind you) and jam our stuff into the lockers. Then we set off.
I couldn't get use to the slippery ice at first, but soon i got used to it and was skating at an average speed. A lot of people were faster than me and Sihan and I were around the same speed. I remember trying to teach RC how to use the steel supports (actually for people under 1.2m but who cares? They're beginners!) and soon RC got the hang of it and abandoned the steel support. But he and Gabriel were hopelessly clinging onto each other. OK RC can skate fantastically well for a first-timer, but the funny thing was when RC lost his balance, he grabbed onto Gabriel, and instead of him falling, Gabriel falls. I fell down 3 times, 1 courtesy of Bradley Yam, 1 while I was trying to stop, and 1 while I was trying to do a 180 degrees turn. We were desperately chasing Bradley, but his rocket speed leaves us pretty far behind. Nearing the end of the 1 1/2 hrs we spent skating, and since out gloves were already wet, I gave the idea of wetting out gloves and smashing them onto Bradley. It Worked. Bradley could not swerve in time and fell down. And we started flipping our soaked-with-icy-water gloves onto him. He was drenched wet. Haha. And then came the time we decided to go. Confusion over the lockers and skates broke out again. and Nick Chua nearly gave us a fright by losing his ticket. He found it luckily. I heaved a BIG sigh of relief. If he didn't find it, he has to pay $30 as a fine.
We paraded towards the Neoprints. Suprisingly, everyone wants to take Neoprints. Another Confusion broke out as we desperately flipped open doors to see which booth was empty. Luckily, LM found one and we happily went in, dumped our stuff at the back and got ready. Then UH OH. Everything was in Jap. So it was funny as we didn't know when the cam will take the pics and when we were caught unprepared, it was really funny! Then we went out AND another confusion broke out again! The booth for the Neoprints were occupied and we were searching high and low for an empty booth when I found it tucked into a corner of the place. AND the timer was ticking!!! We desperately set to work. Nick Chua and RC didn't care and ran off towards the arcade. After a while, Gab and I got bored, so we went down to buy Soya Bean Drinks. When we came up, we found them cutting. I grabbed hold of 3 pics, all of which were great!
The arcade. First someone (I think it was Bradz) went to play DR and all 9 of us were stomping on the DR like xiao as it was really fast but we still failed the stage =D. Then we went to play the basketballs and our score of 30 was pathetic - compared to Ash's of 203 on his own. MADNESS AND MAYHEM! Everybody was shooting the basketballs and we each knocked each other's balls out of the net. But great fun. Then Gab and Ash Super Pro go fight each other on DR. They got thru to 2nd stage then they lost.
Afterwards everyone went to the movies to watch Kung Fu Panda. I didn't watch ccauz i watched it liao. Couldn't find LM, so went to play arcade for a while more, then went home. Someone please organise sumtin like this again after PSLE, but larger scalse cauz more people can make it. Cyaz all then! =D
