On the 24th October, 303 had our, umm, interesting class gathering.
Disclaimer: all names are not mentioned in full and the following may not have happened in chronological order.
Everything was planned last minute-which most of us are used to anyway-and the venue were all confirmed on the spot. Ha! This shows OUR efficiency, one day can plan finish EVERYTHING!!--even SLs can't do that (no offence..muahahahaha).
We went to K and Ks house at R__________ for a barbeque-they booked the pit at around twenty dollars-SO EX!! Anyway, we met at hougang point at 12-or rather, that was the official time but many ppl were late (including me). Then NTUC was our pit stop, we argued over nitty gritty stuff like-how many packets of charcoal should we buy?
It was drizzling when we left hougang point.
Then, we crossed the road-so dangerous nvr use traffic-crossing, at least get banged already can eat their share-muahahaha-. Anyway, I was quite a failure in lighting the fire and needed to wait for M---- to light the pit. T.T . AND, because it was drizzling, I had to sacrifice my umbrella-which embarrased me by detaching its gripping area (Out of everytime it could do that) to be used to shelter the BBQ pit, what a sight.
THE BUTTER!! We did not have any bowls and attempted to stuff the huge wad of butter into a cup-it was quite small! It got stuck, and looked like, well, yellow faeces. I mean, what is the world getting into when butter refuses to get into the cup. In the end, a spoon had to be used to scoop all the butter into a plate.
Then, a documentary about "how to marinate chicken" was filmed. The camera crew included
KW only, Char was the host of the cooking show, Ber was the commentator, I was well, the audience who added all the sound effects, HW, who helped to introduce the ingredients (covering the brands unlike all the other cooking shows) and some other calefare like M who shoved her way into camera view..haha. It was hilarious!
By then, the fire was relatively hot bah, did not really take note..Lol. Anyway, some of the REALLY GOOD FOOD WERE: chicken wings, prawns (I helped to skewer one stick), Hotdogs and corn. JH was quite insistent on being the chef of the day (accorded the title cooking hua hua) lol. Then, we bought cling wrap and Don't have aluminium foil-In the end have to go to hougang point to but again. Drinks also not enough so J and (someone else, I forgot) went to get it.
That was the food. Now for the FUN part...
I, as a very innocent bystander, was just happening to change into shorts and dip my legs into the pool for relaxation sake. Then, oh my, the horror, I felt a force behing me which toppled me over. Alas, me effort in resisting was foiled, I became victim to the dunking squad, which I joined after getting unceromoniously duncked into the swimming pool, luckily I didn't drown. My whole shirt was wet, so was my whole body and so..I decided to dunk others into the pool too-most of them were girls-including Leon..Then, I took off my shirt so that it won't cling so much and just enjoyed the water (sadly to say, everyone was blinded and did not notice my wonderful pacs). Anyway, I looked naked in the jacuzzi as my pants were skin colour, oh my! Later on, loads of other people came to have a dip in the water. By the way, the person who pushed me was W-she slipped into the water later on before I got to dunk her, such an unceremonious sight.
**And to those out there who criticizes our wonderful class tee, I thought you should know, those wearing class tee and got dunked into the water, became perfectly dry (including the tee) in 5 minutes-K, I was exaggerating but it was quite a short time nonetheless!
Anyway, later on, we played bridge-which I (thich-skin) introduced to the class and which soon became a very popular card game! Then we played BIG 2.5 and INDIAN POKER. There was a forfeit in indian poker where the person with the smallest card had to eat a vile concoction the was brewed before hand-not going to explain games here. Sadly to say, as I was the one who added the most key ingredients into the concoction, I lost the first 4 rounds straight (and would have continued losing if I didn't stop playing) through the cunninghams, I mean cunningness, of my classmates who were determined to make me lose. Can you imagine, I lost even though I had a 10!! But it was really fun although the twisties soaked in soya sauce, marshmallow, salt, oyster sauce etc was quite disgusting although it tasted fairly okay.
We played charades the, which was very hilarious, especially the one where an ape became F****** motions ?! Lol.
After that, K brought down her dog NIKI which was really cute, white with brown spot (jack russel). Close to eleven years old and yet very active. Made us run alot, tried to eat alot of junk on the floor. well-trained, poops and pees in bushes and afraid of heights. Any offers? Starting price, 1 00 000 000 US dollars.
Yup, after that was the clean-up. Of yeah, and we saw a witch (or was it Sha---) sitting next to the pool, staring at nothing, stroking a black cat in her laps-and it was quite late.
Some of us went for a late night movie which I didn't go so can't really describe.
Alot of other things happened but I can't put it all into words. The memories are precious, the experience priceless.
The joy, the smiles are etched in stone,
while the sorrows are washed away in the water.
The smells and tastes would forever linger,
while the tears and heartache would dissapear.
303, I love you.
