Xmas Game !

Saturday, December 5, 2009,11:03 PM

Hello peepos !
Im sure you guys know that there's gonna be an xmas outing going on rite ?
Well, for those who went for the outing last year, We're still playing the 'SECRET SANTA' game.
But there's a twist to it ! :D
Read on to find out .

How to play:
1. Firstly, the names of every canoeist will be written on a piece of paper.

2. The pieces of paper will then be inserted into two bags.

3. One for all the female canoeists. One for the male canoeists.

4. The bag containing the names of the male canoeists will be passed around the female canoeists.
The bag containing the names of the female canoeists will be passed around the male canoeists.

5. Then, each canoeist is to pick a piece of paper from the bag.

6. The piece of paper with the name of the person you pick will be the person you will have to buy a SECRET present for.

Rules of the game:
1. I understand that sometimes we will have this urge to reveal to our friends who we are getting the secret present for.
However, please try your best not to reveal to the person you are getting for.
(e.g. Nana is Kelin's secret santa. Nana has to get a present for kelin. But Nana must not reveal to kelin that SHE(Nana) is HER(Kelin's) secret santa.)
Can understand rite ? ><" Sorry, my english isnt very good.

2. Also, your present must be something that is worth MORE THAN $5 !

3. Lastly, please WRAP UP the present . Its more presentable that way & its just a nicer way of giving someone a present.

So, yea. Those are the info i can give about the game.
If you still dont understand, please feel free to approach me, ERYANAH to ask okayy ?
Till then, SEE YA ! :D

krabi overseas expedition 2009-joel's version:D

Friday, December 4, 2009,10:49 AM

lols,i'm posting cause manoj asked me to. and i just realised i haven't submitted the krabi reflection thingy to mslim.. and i dunno what's the point of posting about the krabi trip. cause everyone (almost ><") experienced the same thing..

ok,anyway.in a futile attempt to keep this blog alive ><"

THE KRABI TRIP FREAKING ROCKED! and to me,it was (in a way) better than mount kinabalu, cause at least i kinda "completed" the trip.mount kinabalu was like my most wasted trip EVER. but both trips can't be compared that way.

they each allowed (haha,personification) us to experience different things. mount kinabalu was more of having that adrenaline rush and that kinda i'm-on-top-of-the-world and the so-shuang-cause-most-of-my-friends-don't-climb-mountains kinda feeling. then krabi was more like a seriously super bonding session. it's like, the paddling wasn't hard right? i mean, we paddle so often in mac ritchie, this is like peice of cake to us. so it's like we spent more time bonding like the singing songs and counting manojs right?

and is it just me, or does anyone else miss coconut home? (i know jazz does) i think most of us really changed during this trip. like,i don't think it's just haressh,the sec4s and the teachers that gave a WHAT-THE-**** expression when they say the accomodation.but in the end we could appreciate their home for more than what it's exterior looked like :D so,i think that's good. just hope that this appreciation won't die out just cause we come back to our RICH (haressh) and URBANISED home.

oh and another thing about the trip is that i'll miss the team more): it's like,whenever i look at the team it's hard to believe that i'm already secondary four.the time when we(my batch la) just joined canoeing then still playing with the water and wondering "wah, the sec4s so cool" were all like so recent. it's hard to believe that everything's already ended, my life in gess, my life in gess canoe sprint team and we have to move on in our lives. but i'm very thankful for the team. like the july 2008 onwards with just (this year's) sec2,3&4 was really the most fun time i've had in canoeing. we suddenly like BOOM, became super bonded. and it's like,i can see so much potential in all of you, wayy better than with any of us (my batch) haha,cause according to joonguan, we're the PIONEER BATCH.lols. but yea,continue to train hard. and i believe next year in the ncc/njcc/canoe marathon, we're gonna have a hellish time winning you all :D

i just wanna say i doubt i'll ever forget the team and everytime i look at our pictures, i'll remember all the good times we've had together :D

OH AND SOMEONE PASS ME MS.LIM'S PICTURES OKAY! and everyone else's pictures too lah.ok manoj,you've got your post. i don't wanna be the only one posting lea ><" more poeple post too! come'on!
pinkpenjoel :D

Monday, November 30, 2009,6:50 PM

eh walao.why come back liao no one post about the trip? post here lea. go around everyone's blog and search for posts very sian.

anyway,PASS AROUND THE PICTURES PLEASE!
ok,actually i also dunno why i'm posting.nothing much to post and don't feel like posting about the trip now.. maybe next time.keep the blog aliveeeeee pleaseeeeee!
