The Black World Of Solitude.

Sunday, 13 December 2009

Yes, I went for the "class gathering" yesterday. Didn't count, but around 1/4 of the class. WTH.

Names:

Me (that's not a name, lah)
Brandon
Ming Wei
Thomas
Cong Yang (only came for the BBQ)
Cheryl Ong
Cheryl Heng
Yixin
Alicia
Xueting
Cindy
Yi Ling
Vivian
Melissa
Karissa (appeared out of nowhere)
Maisarah

Hmm. 16. There may be more, but I cannot remember...

So first, went to Yixin's house to collect all the foodstuffs for the BBQ. Ran down the stairs from the 8th level back to the void deck. Then proceeded to the floravale (not sure how to spell it).

Entered Alica's house, wasted around 15-30 minutes while a group of girls organised the amazing race. Played black jack. Ahhh, no luck. After wasting time, the race started.

First goal: "Count the number of trees surrounding the main swimming pool"
What the hell? Didn't bother to count until Alicia gave us (Brandon, MW, Thomas and I) a range with five numbers. MW made the right guess, and we hurried off to the next station. The clue was something about a children's play area.

Second goal: Went to the playground. Did the monkey bars along with Brandon (there are teams; I teamed up with Brandon). We were supposed to climb from one end to another six times, but Vivian gave us a discount of 50% (forgot to thank her). Then we moved on to the next station.

Damn, I can't remember the next one. I think it's the one where Brandon and I had to run around some unknown pond with water splashing all about. Ran five times, and moved off to the next station.

And I can't remember the next station too. I think it's the one where Brandon and I had to score 20 goals by shooting a basketball into the loop. Brandon and I would have lost that one, if Vivian did not give us a discount again (instead we needed to shoot only 12). Ah well...

Goal five: Do the arm walk.

Do the arm walk twice with my weak hands. Since my legs weren't supposed to touch the floor and since Brandon didn't have the strength left to do the arm walk, I told Brandon to hold up my legs while I moved along the pole.

Goal six: "Spa without flowers"

This was relatively easy. Count the number of spouts where the air comes out from in the jacuzzi. And then walk on the floor with pebbles.

Goal seven: "Go to the top floor of a building"

Tortured Brandon and together we climbed the staircase up to the twelfth floor from ground floor. =D
Had to answer a question. Gave the wrong answer. Had to do 50 star jumps. Once again Vivian saved us both (we only needed to do 25) =D

And then the race ended. The BBQ was next.

Damn, setting up the fire was a torture. Alicia booked two BBQ pits. We had low-quality, large charcoal pieces that we had to throw on the floor to break it into pieces. Both took an extremely long time to burn (more than an hour). But the process of making the fire was fun. Oh yeah, and the gas lighter (the portable one) emitted sparks, and a small part of the lighter melted (the metallic part).

After we managed to cook at least some chicken wings on the second BBQ pit which took years to light up. Inhaled lots of smoke and threw many items into the fire. Items included paper plates and marshmallows which proved to be a better fire starter than the fire-starters that we bought. The marshmallows swelled up into a large mass while burning. Fun.

At eight, Brandon and I went home. We had another adventure trying to locate the exit, and went one big round around the condo until we managed to find a security guard, and realised that the main exit was on the opposite side of where we were...

Then after that we went home.

=D
