so today was the 2nd day!
today was the most exciting, memorable, bonded, funny and tiring!
gathered in hall for assembly.
sang the school song. it's damn hip btw!
then the head of OGL made everyone in the hall all active and awake,
with his lame talks..
he wanted to give bonus points to which house which cheered the loudest.
*drum roll
TRITONS won!
he commented that today, Tritons very enthu. then one of the OGLs at the back said
Not today only. Every day also, Tritons very enthu!
most probably Winston. another joker.
I noticed that most OGLs at the back of Tritons like to answer back or give funny remarks when someone on stage is abt to present smth.
so we had another Mass dance session, this time round it's a couple dance.
Accidentally in love
bcos Tritons lack guys (!) , I had a girl partner.
had fun though.
then after that, another OGL in charge of the MMM briefed us on game rules & instructions...
we had to be checked in the morning if we brought our umbrellas.
50 pts will be deducted if umbrella wasnt brought.
each Triton brought. Wei Ru, the otr Damai girls & I were singing to the song Umbrella while raising our umbrellas in the air.
enthu sia. hahahah.
back to the game.
Our grp, Triton 5 and otr houses' grps of 5 set off the earliest bcos our first station was in Toa payoh.
strategy was gd. journey was smooth & short. high spirits.
2 new girls, Kai xin & Jasmine. bonded with em.
we had to complete a total of 3 zones. each zone has 5 stations.
but only a maximum of 4 stations were supposed to be completed.
the journey between stations within each zone was tedious and tiring
loads of running. worse than 2.4km bcos of the sprinting and we were competing.
in the bus towards Toa payoh, talked a lot with Dawn, OGL.
she's really nice. (:
Toa payoh was the worst zone, I think.
once, ran all the way to Macs to get bonus pts frm teachers (who were not suppposed to be there btw, but were kind enough.) heh.
a lot of staring frm the public also.
had lunch in Bugis, Macs. got to know the new girls better bcos we sat at the same table.
a lot of games involved in each station which required smart strategies and teamwork.
there was once I lead the cheer. for bonus points.
it goes like
Hear the thunderstorm roar *everyone stamps feet
321..
We're here *claps
Stand clear *claps
U better be in fear *claps
Bcos we're the Tritons *woooh
Tritons *wooh
Fear
*clapstampstampclap x3
Fear Tritons!
hahahhaha wahhhhh, I had fun!
we got lost in Bugis. HAHA.
we had to find Laselle, Old Changi Airport rd.
and then the nxt station was at National library.
u see how far the two stations are? CRAZY.
last zone was Tampines, my homeland.
and Eugene's (OGL). he kept teasing me.
I didnt know Tampines well enough, apparently.
and this is where it all happened. it was damn memorable for me.
at one of the stations, there was a game which required all members of the grp to be transported to the finishing line with.
only the body parts specified by the game master. and nothing else.
so within ourselves, we were divided into 2 smaller grps.
Weng's in my grp.
Aida& I were considered small size. compared to the rest, woah TALL.
so he suggested carrying ppl across the finishing line. bcos we cld only use 3 butts, 2 knees, 2 hands..
since I was so blur ( I didnt even understand what the objective was..)
I just went along, nodded my head as he came up with strategies. I though it involved balloons!
anw, the first game we played had balloons. Syaz, stupid right.
so I even went along with his idea of carrying ppl.
and guess what. Weng piggybacked me!
!!!@%?@@
oh, I've fallen more and more for him. my first crush on a Chinese guy(since first day actually)
he has really nice eyes (for a Chinese), warm smile, really outspoken and smart.
He interacts with the others, easy-going.
damn.
I was too overwhelmed by his gesture that I didnt take note all the specific details
when it happened.
I said I was heavy. He replied
Just jump on me
and that's what I did. double damn.
He carried me all the way to the line.
then, I patted his back.
another station, Tampines stadium. another stupid game.
involved loads of carrying. this time round, 5 ppl helped with the carrying over the line.
the 4 macho guys plus a girl. lots of groping, embarassment, drrrama.
again, 2nd time helped by him.
throughout the whole journey, I had really bad blisters at the back of both my legs.
friction with the soles of my shoes.
thank god for Eugene, Wei ru and jasmine. my plaster suppliers man.
at abt 340 pm (a total of 8 astounding hours out in the sun, running...)
received call frm HQ. to be reported at MJC hall.
there was much confusion when we were getting back to MJ.
took train instead of a direct bus bcos it was much faster.
more running, across blocks, stadium, malls, escalator, stairs, interchange...
outside white sands, traffic light
MORE DRAMA!
apparently we took the same train as one grp frm Callisto.
so when we reached Pasir ris, everyone dashed like mad! woah it was crazy.
noise & madness everywhere. Tritons emerged the better one but bcos of the red light.
we had to stop and they caught up. Firdaus's grp.
we were so enthu and eager to take the first bus. but in the end, Callisto took the bus first.
damn bus driver. but the bonus was Triton4 caught up withus and we took same bus.
dashed all the way to MJC hall. 3 grps were already there.
madness again! Callisto & Phobos had all 5 grps, waiting for the last one.
crucial bcos it'll decide the champion.
so chanting & cheering & stomping everywhere.
Trtions had only 2 grps back. things were not looking gd for us.
there wasnt hope. Eugene said all 3 Miranda grps were in the same train.
Atlas was catching up, fast.
however.
some crazy miracle happened.
from Phobos & Callisto being the lead to The otr Triton grps trooping in
one after another.
it was like seeing the unbelievable! and so we won. all 6 Triton grps reached first.
Hell yeah victory cheer!
then Eugene was like all smug. he was emo-ing at the back previously.
He's crazy.
all Triton OGLs were over the moon. jumping up & dwn screaming.
we cheered last. and it was Oomph definiton of a true Triton (:
I was freakingggggggggg happy! overjoyed, sense of pride surged thru my body.
satisfied.
another mass dance session after all the drama.
I got a guy partner this time. a chinese guy.
funny & easy-going. I relied on him bcos I was short and couldnt see the demonstrators.
he gave me directions. lollol.
had turns, shakes. his friends were all crazy. cool ppl.
still immature, those kind Eee touch girls cuties!
and one of his frens wore a hairband.
some of the turns, washing machine , we aced it man.
just laughed all the way.
Tritons rule man. (:
went home close to 8. another house mtg.
CAMPFIRE TMR. MAJOR EVENT.
5000 PTS!
discussed themes, performance, selected ppl for specific roles, briefed us on what to bring...
yeah.
even though today was DAMN tiring, it was meaningful.
and most imptly, I'D FUN. and I felt the spirit of MJ.
so together, keeping our chins up during all times and giving our best even if it required every ounce of energy left in our bodies.
get to know new ppl!
there's an Ah lien (Isabelle), angels (Damai girls), very demure & pretty girl (Kai xin), very Chinese chinese, 4 macho guys in my grp.. (:
Wei ru has a heart of gold. cared truly for everyone's welfare.
is really bubbly and hyper and cute!
Isabelle just cracks me up. and I think she's fascinated by my every action and what I say. obsessed.
she was talking abt eye candy in diff JCs when we were waiting for our OGLs to arrive.
the way she speaks makes u think she's an Ah lien.
but she's a nice one.
I reached hm at 8+.
feet aching frm all the walking & running.
but still surviving. my New yr resolution:
to be independent. (taking public transport to & back frm sch)
it was harder than I thought, not being a Daddy's girl.
I might just stay in MJ. it all depends.
