Updates updates!
Back to reality, it's the 2nd week of school now. And that means I am 2 weeks nearer to the end of my undergraduate life. Haiz. The thought of my suckish GPA just makes me not wanna graduate any earlier. Hurhur.
Okie! Enough of pessimistic talk! Shall do some updates about what happened since I came back from Beijing.
Besides chilling out at hone and meeting up with some friends, I was involved in Convocation 2007 as well.
And by the way, backstage was never this bright. Just that I took these photos at like 7 plus am on the actual day where no one was there yet..buaha
Although I only joined SMUBE in 2006, it has contributed to most of my wonderful memories in SMU :) All the events, all the rehearsals, all the little competitions we participated in as a CCA :) SMUBE! Love ya!
The backstage girls! From L to R: Kristin, Sylvia, Me, Keris
The girls of backstage!From L to R: Jac, Sylvia, Kristin, Me, Keris, Jul
Everyone from SMUBE who;s involved in Convocation 2007!
Besides another bagful of happy memories, I brought back home another thing. A new name: Sarah. -_-. How did it came about?
Okie, YiHui, me(YuHui), HaiLong and Terence were assigned to be on the Stage Right. So it got confusing everytime people call YiHui, I would respond. And if someone call me, YiHui would respond as well. So Terence decided to put an end to this confusion.
Terence: We need to rename you guys so we won't get confused.
HaiLong: What to give?
(look at both me and YiHui)
YuHui: He looks "Bernard"ish (points at YiHui)
Terence: Yes! Okie, YiHui is now Bernard.
YuHui: Okie, I dun have to change mine since he has a different name now.
Terence: Cannot. He will get confused if someone calls for you.
YuHui: Can I not have a new name?
HaiLong and Terence: No.
Terence: Think something along "B" line. Betty?
YuHui: NO.
Terence: Then you think.
YuHui: Just call me B lo.
Terence: You dun have to tell everyone your bra size.
YuHui: ! What the hell!
Hai Long: Any name la, can differentiate can liao.
Terence: Okie, Sarah. You are called Sarah.
(No room for arguments. And so we became the wrongly named Bernard and Sarah)
Okie, after Convocation 2007, we made our way to Daryl's humongous house for his birthday party. After much food and catching up with all the other SMUBE members, including seniors over dinner, we head up for Munchkins!
It's a card game Daryl got us hooked on during Convocation rehearsals :) Just a glimpse of how Munchkins cards look like:
It's basically a game where you kill monsters, gain levels and stab your buddies. Hehe
This is Munchkins Impossible version. Where you can be American, Chinese, Russian or English as your race and you probably be a PLayboy or Assassin as such, depending on what cards you draw. And the game goes on with killing of monsters, gaining of weapons and fighting bonuses, and not to forget start stabbing your buddies when they reach too high a level..lol. There are other versions as well, where the roles differ but the rules stay the same :)
After Convocation and Munchkins, was the start of my new school term as officially the oldest breed of bird in school. Yes, I am a Year 4 already. Sobz. Anyway, our VIVACE Day has been disgustingly changed to CCA Day. Seriously, I dunno what they are thinking. It's like calling your handphone a "handphone" brand handphone instead of something like Nokia or SE to differentiate it from others. So SMU is in for being commonized? I guess, deferring from the original culture is pretty in these days in SMU. Kinda glad I am leaving the school soon on this part. It's painful, to even see the beautiful university who prided itself on it's wonderfully different school culture just erode away in the face of the incoming batches and time.
Okie sad things aside, life goes on. SMUBE took part in the Dragonboat competition! Hmm, how did I get involved?
(Turning time back to backstage of Convocation 2007.)
Terence: What's your IC number?
Me: S85******
Terence: Okie, you in for SMUBE's team for dragonboat competition.
Me: HUh?!
Back to Dragonboat competition. Okie, we didn't manage to come in 1st or make it to the finals but at least we beat the Diving Team who's supposedly more sporty than us! Shout back to Kian Ping: That's for saying you guys will sink SMUBE's boat before it even start rowing!
The competition was held at Raffles Marina, which happened to be at Tuas -_-. We took train to Boon Lay, which LN and Richard started their journey from Pasir Ris and me from Bedok..lol. When we were on the chartered bus to Raffles Marina, it started to rain -_-
Reuben: Are we still going to row?
LN: Ohhh, go home lo go home lo!
Shah: Thanks everyone for having the Boon Lay tour! It's time to go home now!
Richard: I come from Pasir Ris to see Tuas meh!?
Anyway, we still managed to row la coz the rain was a really short one. SMUBE team found ourselves a corner where we could all sit down comfortably and start our picnic-plus-citadels session. Since our match starts at 3pm and we arrived at like about noon (a bit duh la..), we starting to unpack food for ourselves. Thanks to LN for the bananas and milo packets, and Terence for the bread, Nutella, ham, lettuce and tomatoes!
I admire our spirit to set up an entertainment area wherever we are. Well, BEcause we Entertain! Cheers to BE!
Us under the shelter! Top row L to R: Shah, me, Terence, Nina, HaiLong, Tarn, Olivia, Richard (in the so-called vv gay singlet), guy in specs (erm, I dunno his name..). Bottom row from L to R: LN, Reuben
All ready to row!
Well, we look really pro.
Row row!
We ended our boating experience around 5 smth, went off for dinner and then home!
The last thing to blog about was the Convocation Thank you dinner yesterday night. We had Botak Jones. Despite having better food, queuing for it was long and the whole BP of the system was very inefficient. After our first round, we got tired of waiting, so we decided to start playing Star Munchkins (another version of Munchkins) which was left behind in the studio by Daryl. Yi Hui (the wrongly named Bernard) didn't get a chance to play Munchkins during Convocation, so we decide to teach him and bring him into the fun world of Munchkins :) And soon enough..he was hooked! Hahaha
Just some videos of how crazy Munchkins can get. Yea. From sitting down to squatting and starting to shout at each other..lol..
In the video, I am holding the camera, the one to my left, is YiHui (Bernard), then followed by Richard (who is dying to go home and wants someone to just win the game and go on), Tienfa, Reuben (who crashed into the game midway), new guy, Jac and LN, then back to me.
The no one save Bernard round:
Bernard loses level and evil Richard whines about not going home:
Jaclyn and LN wins! and unethical player Richard happy to go home:
Okie, that ends my entry for current updates..heehee
