Of Birthdays and Farewells

Secretary here.
Here's our ECA report of the week!
Part 1: Sunway Pyramid outing
Part 2: Steamboat!

Attendees:
Part 1 - Sean, Vicky, Ben, Jon, Andrew, Nicholas, Joanne, Chai Yee, Yee Thong, Kaizia, Brenda, PeiPei, Sin Yen, Elena, Qing De and Farrah
Part 2 - all the above except Nick + Nellie, Junshuo (GASP! surprised??), and Jason, Nellie's bf


First of all. Sad news. On Thursday we got the awful news from Qing De that she was going off to Intech (is that how you spell it? Coz I dont really know about it) on a scholarship. Sigh. Damn depressing. Another person leaving. And we all thought that that was it. After July term started, no one would leave anymore. Guess we were wrong. Friday was her last day and Qing also just got the news on Thursday. What a rush. We had planned to do a steamboat dinner on Friday night for celebration of our haunted house success and also Elena's bday on Saturday plus all July people's bday. All happy occasions but now with Qing De's farewell, it kinda brought the happiness level a bit more down.


So after our dumb chem test, those non-physics people were supposed to wait as usual for the physics ppl before we can go anywhere. Yee thong, chai yee and all wanted to go to sunway first to get the presents so thats what happened. So left the ECA AJK people alone in the cafeteria. Do what? As usual la. Chat about stuff happening in class. Then decided to go to the Vick's place there to sort out some stuff left from the haunted house in Jon's car. Still had extra time to hang around so we just blasted music from Nell's car, I played basketball in the middle of the road, Nellie played santa claus and snow with cotton and Jon just watched us crazy people running around the road. haha. Nell got cotton all over herself and chased after me to get some on me too. In the end she stopped when she got a good look at the amount of cotton stuck to her. hahah.


Finally! All of them came to Vicks place. Nell got a call from her bf though and it turns out he'll join us so Nell decided to pick him up before joining us at sunway. So in the end the ones driving were, Sean, Jon and Joanne. But ended up Ben drove Joanne's car with her in it of course and in Sean's car was Pei2, Elena, Qing De and Vicky. Jon's car was Brenda, Nick and me. Reach there ade decided to go J.co for smth lite since we were having dinner at 6pm and it was steamboat buffet. Kaizia and Chaiyee they all joined us there. Brenda and Jon bought 2 dozen doughnuts at first i think.. then another half dozen? Not really sure, cant stand looking at the doughnuts. Too sweet looking it makes me wanna hurl. hehe. Here, have a look.

"Look. Its so SWEET!"

Btw. Sin Yen's hair really looks so model-ish. =)

Urgh.

So then. I took more photos with Qing and Elena and some random ones here and there. Nick left and then after J.co we all were discussing what to do. In the end most agreed to go bowling but some of the girls wanted to shop for a few more things first. So we split and wandered about. Brenda got some stuff for Qing and Elena then Vicks and I headed off to bowling alley.
Guess what?? COMPETITION going on! Noooooooooooooo! Not a repeat of Friday 13th!!
So we decided to ice skate instead.

AGAIN! twice the same bad luck. There were skaters preparing for the ice skating competition taking place the next day so it was closed off. WTH man. Sigh. Just when almost everyone was there to enjoy an outing together, all the fun activities couldn't be carried out.
So then Brenda, Jon, Vicks and I decided to do archery. But then we chose a package for only 3 ppl so Vicks said nvm coz he's done it before. Brenda and I suffered embarrassment the first 10 shots? haha. We sucked so badly we couldnt even get the arrow to hit the board at all. The people who worked there were very nice though, kept giving pointers and stuff. Finally I sort of got the hang of it. It was pretty fun, release tension a bit from not getting to bowl or skate. hehe. Tiring though. Until today my left shoulder is in pain. ugh. We then joined the others and went on shopping. Then we lepak at the carpark to wrap some presents and wait for the others to finish the shopping. Then off we went to the steamboat restaurant where Nellie was waiting with Jason.


Jun Shuo joined us there surprisingly. Then the eating began. Whoo. Now here's the funny part. heheh. The restaurant serves some bbq chicken in the buffet but there's always a rush for it and its gone in less than a minute. So what happened was, Vicks wanted to go get some but couldn't so the next round, he and JS pakat to get the chicken no matter what! haha.. So we were all eyeing the lady who supposedly comes every 15mins to bring the chicken. The other tables also seemed to do the same. There was real competition I tell you, for those chicken. haha. When it came, JS and Vicks tried scooping up the chicken with 2 plates but it was hard coz most people just simply picked the chicken of their plates using their tongs so at the end of it all, JS got a few only. haha. We were all talking when the next round came and hardly anyone noticed because it was barely 5 mins before that the last chicken platter came so when it came it was a surprise. Then someone shouted, "chicken!!" and then u saw Chai Yee rush off and grab the nearest tongs and started picking up as many as she could while vicks went off also to join the fray. haha.


So what was the score? Vicks - 1. Chai Yee - A LOT! hahah. surprise surprise!! And she found it so hysterically funny that she could barely stand up. haha. we were all laughing by then and clapping her performance. It was really unexpected man. haha. Chai Yee went high after that and was so full of energy the rest of the dinner. Then things went back to normal. We went on eating. Then at the end of it all, Brenda and Jon brought the presents from the car and gave them to Qing and Elena. Qing De looked so happy. haha. like a little girl. Doesnt she always?? =P Took lots of pics with her then we had the cake also brought and sang happy birthday to Elena. Cut the cake then took more pics and then it was the end. Brenda had to go home early, everyone else was still tired from a few days ago. And we were all stuffed full with dinner. phew



Strangely enough. JS seemed to get along fine with the rest of the class with the exception of a few I think. It was all so surreal. haha. But good. Its a new experience.


All in all, it was a pretty happy occasion though tinged with sadness about Qing's going away.

So here are the photos taken along the way..

"EWW. SO SWEET!" haha. jk. thats not what they said.

Guess who's feeding Sean? hahah. It looks like its Jon but its actually Chai Yee!

"Hmm... This isn't a human heart. Can koala's eat doughnuts?"

"Don't stare at the macho man when he/she's eating!!"
