Geekz Nite was great!! Woo hoo! Although only half the class turned up, it was still fantastic and definitely not a wasted trip back to our alma mater! The night was terrific, though not full of thrilling events, but the time we spent together and the things we did together were fruitful and erm, enlightening? lol! Without further to do, let me report abt our night in AJ..
Date: 28-29 March 2008 Location: AJC
At 6.30pm, Ming Zhu, Wei Ling, Chingy, Wee Ling, Rama, Jia Xin and I met at AMK Hub and went for dinner at e food court. Aft dinner, we gals headed to AJ while the guys walked ard for a while somewhere..when the guys reached, we registered our names at the foyer and paid the $4 (which I still think is not worth..haha).. the school was crowded at 1st as the parents teacher meeting was just over..but soon, it became empty as not many pple came to participate in the Geekz Night, there were around 50 of us alumni who attended but we spent most of the time with our own classmates.. while the guys were chatting at the ohana, Wei Ling went for her bath at PE dept and mz and I accompanied her. While she was bathing halfway, the lights in the PE dept toilet went off (screams)..but it came on again after we walked past the sensor thing..lol! When we went back to the Ohana, Pav, Cheryl and Zi Ling were alr there! So we all decided to head to the track to see the stars..turned on the lights at the PE dept and headed down near the track..
I brought 2 large plastic mats/sheets and we swiftly lay them out and the gals lay down while Rama and Jia Xin went for a walk at the track..Lying down under the night sky in AJ was the 1st time for all of us..the sky was a little cloudy and there weren’t too many stars then, but it was an interesting experience like a huge blanket over us..we were bored and started playing the “snoring wave game”! ROFL! Took turns to snort but we never did a successful wave cos we could not help bursting into laughter when it was our turn!! Hahaha! The guys came back and we sat in a circle and started to play murderer using Rama’s poker cards..Wee Ling came to join in aft she deposited stuffs at her home.. Played a few rounds before a councilor came to inform us abt the movie screening at the reading room. So we packed up and headed to the reading room. There, we were supposed to choose a name for our class grp for the games later..so after much thought..we decided on “EMBRACE OS!!” the os was supposed to be just a cheer, (like whoosh) but we didn’t know how to spell it, almost told them to spell it as “arse”..LOL!! then while waiting for the movie to be screened, Rama, Jia Xin and Zi Ling wanted to play bridge but they lacked a player..so they decided to teach the rest of us how to play, after dealing the cards, the councilors turned off the light..cant really see a thing, so we decided to play murderer instead, in the dark..lol, cool man..we got disrupted again aft a couple of rounds cos the movie “I am Legend” began..barely 5mins into the show, we got bored and decided to leave the RR instead of disturbing the rest with our chit chat..however, we felt quite bad abt leaving SO fast cos there were already not many pple to start with..so we decided to leave in pairs, secretly and stealthily! The scene was hilarious lah!! As soon as we got out, we burst into laughter immediately!! ROFL, finally, all the gals were outside of the RR..and wondering what took the guys so long..peering in, we saw the Rama and Jia Xin slowly shifting from one table to another, getting nearer to the exit..darn funny! And soon, we were reunited again! How amusing!
So nxt we headed to the nexus and brought out UNO Stacko to play,
All of us had our turn of tense and risky moments as u can see from the photos..
Chingy came after church and luckily the gate wasn’t locked yet! Or else she gotta climb in!! haha!
We continued having a “shaky” time, just then, a councilor came in to tell us tt the game of TABOO was starting soon and told us (EMBRACE OS) to join them..so aft our stacko collapsed, we prepared to head to the RR for games.. before leaving, we made use of the chance to finally create some havoc in the Nexus, (smthing tt we've been dying to do when we were students), thus we started climbing and jumping on the couches!! Woo Hoo!
Quite satisfied, we headed to the RR again with chips and other snacks for more fun! The other grp was made up of 16/06 pple was called I.D.K (I don’t know)! Joseph reached and joined in the game, very soon EMBRACE OS was leading, and we could all sense the strong telepathy among our classmates!! For eg, when guessing a movie tittle, Zi Ling, didn’t even say a word b4 we started throwing out names of Harry Potter titles..and bingo, we got it! “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”!! Ard 12midnight, the game ended and we won!!! We took a half and hr toilet break in between before the nxt game, and we even went to the blk 11 guys toilet to “steal” handsoap! Lol, aft tt the gals were back at the RR while the guys went somewhere else for a walk.. For pictionary, another grp of ex-councillors also joined in..now, pple were getting sleepy alr, Wee Ling and Ming Zhu left halfway to sleep at the nexus..fm this game, we could clearly tell that our class can’t draw well..LOL!! we were lagging behind very soon, but managed to catch up eventually!! There were hilarious moments like when we managed to guess LKY correctly when Cheryl just drew a circle as the head with eyes and mouth..ROFL! and chingy’s questions were all bird related: Hainanese Chicken Rice, Pigeon Hole, and EAGLES..lol! ard 1.30am the game ended and we lost..muahaha! went to the toilet again where Chingy and pav started dancing the dances we learnt during PE!
We were all cracking our brains trying to recall the steps but ended up being confused by the dance steps of the diff dances..hilarious!
Next was back to Nexus, and Joseph left for home quite soon cos he has work the nxt morning..Back at Nexus, Mz and wee were alr trying to sleep..we took out the Jenga Truth or Dare game and started to play..the truth and dare questions were very mild..some of which include “spot a foolish hairstyle for the rest of the game"
"sit on someone’s lap for 1 round" or “pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time”, Cheryl did this but the photo is censored at personal request! Hehe, other funnier stuffs are like smelling someone’s foot, as u can see..we ended up smelling our own!!
ROFL!!! Pav had to do a bellydance too!
Haha! Jia Xin and Rama joined in for one round and left very soon to go for another of their “private walks” again! Aft Jenga, we were getting bored and decided to build dominos using the Jenga blocks..we were so excited abt it and were all ready to make it a good one! In the end it turned out:
ROFL!! We had to hit it like 7 times throughout..lol, manz..the table was too smooth and the tiles slipped! Nvm, we will succeed ONE DAY..EMBRACE OS!!! Ard 2.45am, Wei Ling went to sleep on a couch, and the rest of us brought more snacks out and decided to take a walk ard the school and at the same time hunt for the lost guys..we walked to the track and shouted their names but got no response, there were several pple hanging ard the PE dept area and on the steps..but we couldn’t see the faces in the dark..so while heading towards 411, we walked past the huge blue mattress in the middle of the track area, and spotted the 2 guys there, they said they were talking abt “life”..since the area was too wet for us to sit, we decided to get the plastic mats and head to somewhere else to lie together..walked past 411 which was locked, and we even contemplated bringing the nexus couch to the AJ square to lie..haha! in the end, we got our mats and went to the bball court! We chose the darkest spot, spreaded our 2 mats out and lay down under the night sky and the stars, there were 7 of us, Chingy, Cheryl, Pav, Zi Ling, me, Rama and Jia Xin..though a bit squeezy, but all of us got a spot on the mats..looking at the sky above, we started to engage in a special chat that we have never done before, we spoke abt meaningful things..discussing abt our class, how often will we get to meet, say within this year, and say 2 yrs down the road, will we be having our 2nd chalet, when the guys finish NS and the gals wld be in year 2 of uni alr..we talked abt university, abt NS, abt the cards we made for the guys then...haha, and all those rules..hehe, Rama said smoking would be his no.1 No-No..and Jia Xin assured us tt he would not break those rules and not scold vulgarities..lol, we shall wait and see..hehee, well tt’s quite rare cos there may be some pple who alr broke all...lol! We discussed abt what we would do if the nxt day was the end of the world, food came into the picture at once..haha, also chatted abt serious stuffs like marriage, children, future..etc etc..and not to forget, we had an interesting sharing-cum-interrogation session with the guys abt hmm..personal ahem stuffs..who respectively confessed quite openly and kept his mouth sealed..lol, we initially planned to go out for mac breakfast at 5am..but found it too early, and we were starting to get a bit lazy to get up fm the mats..wei ling came to join us and we made space for her..then chingy left to sleep in the nexus..the guys and wei ling and pav went for a short walk, leaving Cheryl, Zi Ling, and me behind..so we helped ourselves generously to the space on the mats..they came back soon and we decided to pack up and move back to the Nexus..it was ard 5.15am already..we have laid there for 2 hrs! The ground was hard, so it wasn’t exactly very comfortable, but the time together under the night sky was memorable! Back at Nexus, the couches were all occupied and some other pple were still playing games inside..so in the end, Cheryl, Rama, Pavitra, Jia Xin, Zi Ling and I played the “Rama’s” version of Scrabble in which we had to turn open letters one by one and try to form words, there was a lot of snatching of words which was really fun! Words like ‘iota’ came up repeatedly, and the most common snatching sequence was HAVE-SHAVE-SHAVER (for those who understood the game) haha!! We were getting drowsy and couldn’t think fast..but halfway we got rejuvenated and started out active snatching of words! The guys were pro at the game and formed many words! But the gals were no worse and we managed to snatch the words very soon!! Before we knew it, it was 6.30am and we wanted to watch the sun rise actually..we ended the game and woke the rest up..packed up and went to the Ohana, and went to wash up! Brush teeth and wash face! Rise and shine, lol but most of us didn’t catch a wink at all! Haha!! Aft freshening up, we felt more awake although deep inside us is weariness, we wanted to take a class photo at the Blk 11 fountain but it was too dim..so we ended up at the AJ Square instead..
While walking out towards the sch gate, the sky brightened up very quickly and we asked the security guard to help us take photos at the AJ gate entrance with our “Non Mihi Solum" Crest.. it was 7am and the sky was visibly brighter..
We walked to the McCafe opp the AMK library and Rama and I were “fighting” for the swing at the playgrd..in the end there were more than enough swings when we got there.. we secretly took pictures of Rama and Cheryl swinging happily! High, higher, highest!
Ming Zhu and I joined in and had lotsa fun swinging! It’s been a long time since we played at the playground, and for that moment we felt like little kids again! Hehe.. we reached McCafe and all had our share of Big Breakfast, Hotcakes or McMuffins etc etc..halfway thru the breakfast, most of us were showing clear signs of sleepiness..we continued to discuss abt means to bring ‘them’ down, like by grabbing more syrups or sachets of sugar..etc etc..lol..and also discussed a bit abt our nxt class outing and stuff..aft tt we left at ard 8.20am and went separate ways, some took bus, while the rest walked to the interchange together..weariness got the better of us and most of us ended up dozing off on our way home..All in all, it was a successful attempt to go without sleep for >24hrs, and absolutely a wonderful gathering session back at AJC, chatting abt the past, the present and the future. Hope all of u had an awesome time too! Take care & cya soon! =)
