Another alumni successfully initiated!

Was gossiping about meng over dinner last nite with the rest..& how we hate arranging appointments with her..we concluded tat it was best for her to date us out rather then the other way around..

Sure enough..just after twink had dropped me home, meng called 'Eh, wanna have supper with me?' Sigh..wat's a chairman gotta do..so i decided to bring her to the usual kopi tiam..where she sort of got initiated thrice..having THREE pratas at one go..of cos, me being still on my 'no-prata-diet' can only give 'eye power'..

Well..till the next initiation ceremony..

Signs that u've been driving the lorry too much..

• Your right arm is sunburnt (if u know how the typical lorry driver drives..u'll know why)
• Your left arm aches from changing gear too much (no thanks to a BIG box which took up the whole of the passenger seat & more, leaving me with 2 inches to maneuver)
• You keep hearing the speed warning beep beep beep in your head (i went up & down the ECP-Lim Chu Kang route no less than 4 times)
• You get into a cab and find the seats very low (& wondering why is there a 'piece of metal' in front of the dashboard)

busy busy busy..

As someone pointed out yest'da, i'm pretty busy for a person who's not holding any 9-5 job (dun worry, i'll always have the time for u :Þ)

While it's technically correct to say that i'm unemployed these days..but the fact is, i'm dividing my time among 3 'jobs'..watever u call them - ou xiang's pa, ra ra-er & of cos being 'serious about cereals'..

& if u consider alumni chairman a 'job'..tat'll make it 4..talking about the alumni..i actually managed to have 2 alumni gatherings in a day on fri..lunching with 5 alumnis & suppering with 3 others..supper would have been an official gathering* if not for meng who was 'on the way' for almost 2 hours before conceding she wouldn't be able to make it down on time..

Anyway, Team SA went for the our 'race training' today..not exactly training lah..more like to familiarise ourselves with the ropes elements..it wasn't tat bad..enjoying most parts(except the part when i slammed against the rockwall) & having quite a bit of fun..well, hopefully, it will still be fun when we have to rope ascend for 4 storeys & not just 'half a storey'..

Conclusion - instructor will drag me & 10 along when on land..10 will pull instructor & me along in water..& i'll be the first to leap off buildings, etc when in the air..& if all else fails, we will try to 'bulldoze' our way thru the challenge stations with our 'arm power'..

Which brings me to the next alumni gathering..it will be on 2 Apr..starting from 6am..to the time Team SA crosses the finishing line..which shouldn't take too looooong...hopefully...

*the quorum for an 'official' alumni gathering has been set at 5 members

Teams SA !

In recognition of the adventurous spirit tat MsK, OSIM & 0.5, collectively known as Team SA(South America), are displaying at the other side of the world..myself, instructor & 10 have decided to reflect this spirit right here in Sg by signing up for the adventure race under the name Team SA..only this time, SA = SSC Alumni

P.S. Considering the fact tat 2 members can't swim & 1 is taking her first cycling lesson tmr..i think we need not just the spirit but lotsa luck as well..

what a busy day..

Spent the whole day entertaining 2 alumni members - instructor & nike, & even hosted dinner at my place..anyway, this was our itinerary for the day :

1200 hrs - Dim sum lunch @ Teahouse (4th alumni member - meng, was absent, as usual)
1330 hrs - Shopping cum recce @ Raffles Place
1530 hrs - Peanut ice-kachang @ Tg Pagar market
1600 hrs - Grocery shopping
1700 hrs - Check email
1800 hrs - Stairs climbing workout
1900 hrs - Prepare dinner
2000 hrs - Dinner cum tv time
2100 hrs - More food & more tv
2330 hrs - Sending alumnis to catch last bus back

Instructor was just commenting..the 3 of us..are like the Singapore counterparts to Team SA..while the 3 in SA are sipping coffee in cafes over there, the 3 in Sg are having ice kachang at hawker centres..while they cook instant noodles in their hostel..we cook pasta at my place..hmm..

Wat's new..

Guess wat..i waited an hour for meng at the bloody hot mrt..
Guess wat..I'm typing this blog from her office..on a sun..
Guess wat..all these are nothing new!

Yes, nothing's changed..

i'm back in meng's office..on a sunday night..

Time check : 8.07pm..though my 'official' hours are : 12 - 6..

p.s. i must be holding the record for visiting the most alumni's new offices(4)..see? i'm not the chairman for nothing..
