CG 24's CLASS GATHERING...


First 'official' class gathering since we graduated from teejay..

The previous time i saw so many of them was at Verena's farewell party.. So that's why this is the much-awaited class gathering.. In Mid-July 09... One and a half years already wor~

Xiang ting couldnt join us as she's in HK then, when she saw the photo below uploaded by Leck on FB, she asked who's the guy on the leftmost side in the pic?
Several classmates commented on the photo after her, saying that guy's Di hui...

XT couldnt believe it ---DH slimmed down?!?!?

Lols.. There was a long string of comments which began to make the photo comment section look like a forum thread.
With 'snide' comments saying she's so bad, cant even recognise our dear former classmate..
And why he can't slim down after working out hard at the gym.. Hehe..

The truth is Di pangseh us... Went to a friend's 21st bday party.. Said will come later, but till 10+pm still no sight of him.. As for the 'new' guy? He's a classmate's bf.. Hehehehehehe..

We had fun at Waraku Marina Square~~^^

Jia hui booked the tatami room ---yeah it's big!~
Just that it's hard for people on one end to talk to people on the further end..

Can spot me in the photo? Hehs..


Tadah! My head popping our from behind the door to our VIP room.. Hehe..

This was a candid shot taken by Leck, i didnt act cute & pose for this --i just stepped into the room & saw many of them who'd arrived earlier --to much delight. Ahah! I look so happy =p


The food came in 'big portions'.. -----as in big bowls i meant.. My creamy prawn pasta came in a basin-like bowl, it's so huge, it can double up as a washing basin. To take a look at my pasta, i have to peep right in.. That lil amt lining the bottom quarter of the bowl. Lols.. Talking about effective space utilisation..
Whereas some other meals came in large portions, Qi en's one had both noodles & rice (or was it 2 types of noodles? -i forgot le) plus a bowl of meat (chicken? beef? -can't rmb too).. But the one i like most is the dessert i shared with Tian.. Raspberry shortcake --very small narrow slice.. Adorned with cute-looking raspberries^^

After having our fill with rice/noodles/pasta/soup/cake.. Washed down with lots of green tea, we wondered what to do next..

GAMES!!!

Hehe.. Hadn't played or watched people play this kind of 'waste-time activities' or rather 'bonding icebreakers' during get-togethers...


Darren & QE playing the whoever loses gets hit by the winning party.. Beside QE's Angeline.. The 3 of them took turns to play --打人不手软.. Sure pain one neh.. They ended up with reddened hands.. It's painful when hit and it's also painful when u use too much force to hit others.. Hehe.. I dont want to play..
Hehe.. It's more fun to watch.. And take pictures.. U can also see me in this picture.. Trying to angle my hp to take a shot..

Afterwards, we played the Frog game.. 一只青蛙, 跳进水里, ponk.. Take turns to continue the sentence.. Played the more confusing version of having to repeat every part of the phrase the same no. of times as the no. of frogs. Loser has to do forfeit.. Drink a SPECIAL concoction of soysauce plus pepper plus dunno-what-i-forgot.. Another forfeit we had was Dare & Dare.. Either way, the person has to do a Dare..

Nothing too outrageous.. WK & QL went to the adjacent room where friends gathered to celebrate a birthday, DARE? sing a birthday song to the bday girl. Hehs.. Not bad idea neh.. I followed them to the door of the neighbouring tatami room.. Ohs, it's filled with so many people too, no wonder so noisy =p
I spotted the vocalist of Superband II's 大风吹among that group of people. Never mind if u didnt watch Superband II --you can see him & his band on tv for F&N commercial. It was aired quite frequently in the past months on Chinese channels, not sure abt Ch 5 though.. Cos he sang a Mandarin song and seemed to have a rockin' good time with fellow bandmates.. Then tadah! End the commercial with them holding the drinks they're endorsing.

But i think majority of my classmates didnt watch the reality talent show? Hmm.. None of them seemed to have recognised him. Perhaps, recognise but ignore --just like me, cos he's not some hot big superstar worth getting excited about =D
Change an angle to view our long long table, with the warm lighting.. Nice hor?~
Photos thanks to Leck, who went around taking lots of pictures with her new DSLR camera.



I started this post with our big group photo..

Shall end it with another take of our 'class reunion' photo.. It's BEEN SO LONGGGG..
These 2 class photos were taken by a guy from the adjacent tatami room --filled with people celebrating a birthday. They sort of 'sabo' him to become our photographer, saying he's good at it or sth.. Hehehe.. So he tried to act 'seh' and took photos while in a funny act-like-professional photographer position.


After Waraku, as the number of people dwindled~~~ We headed to Raffles City for the 24hrs Starbucks/Mac.. Mac's sooo packed!!! Oh my, it's hard to tell it's already quite late, it looked more like peak lunch/dinner hour.
Luckily, we managed to find 2 tables vacated seconds ago by a group of people, outside Starbucks so we sat there & continued chatting.. 2nd round.. =p Neednt buy any drinks/food cos the tables are already cluttered with empty plates & cups..

7 of them went for 3rd round, at the nearby Chjimes for some drinks..
After lounging outside Starbucks, i left.. It's late already, i need to catch a train back home. Coincidentally, spotted June & her friends entering Raffles City just as i was about to bid goodbye to my cg 24 pals..
It's been a month since the gathering, i'm blogging it only now.. So i think i might have missed our some details..

Cloud can hardly believe she'd already left tee jay for sooo long..
Time flies gawk-damm quickly!!!
She finds it hard to find time to blog these days..

She likes her prev msn personal msg.. Stringing a series of names of Korean bands that she likes.. Formed from a random thought, but that random thought missed out my all-time fav DBSK.. Where to put them??
'watching SHINee SUPER JUNIOR BIG BANG-ing on FT ISLAND at 2PM'
5 bands ---all guys la.. Expected hor?? Hehehehe..
She never thought she would care about Super Junior years ago..
She never thought the emotive husky voice behind all those lovely pop rock songs from FT Island is such a prettyboy.. She's pretty much in love with Hongki now.. Love that voice + watched tv shows that he hosted/guest starred in. Such a lovable character.. The guitarist Jong Hoon's eyes look so dreamy, face looks so perfect (ulzzang --correct spelling? i just came to know of this word).. AHHH..
Why didnt she care more about the members of FT Island previously, she was simply enjoying the songs w/o bothering to know whose's who in the band..
The 5 member band looks more like a boyband than a rock band^^
