Just a Thought.

2 years of 04 has closed with a rather smoky finale(you know what i mean.)

2 years of joy, disappointment, laughter, anger barbecued to perfection on pit C16, in a torrent of rain, wind, noise and smoke. The spirit shown in a short 4 hours showed me what we were as a class. Resilience, determination, to get the BBQ going, Thinking positively, every fibre of one's body praying for the heavens to cease its mood swings. Finding humour in the process as well, no matter how bleak the situation has become.

We need not be in the classroom only then do our qualities as a class shine through. I quote from a magazine : Anytime, Anyone, Anywhere. It matters not where we are at any given moment, we still practice what we preach from the classroom, and to great and absolutely GLORIOUS effect. It is evident from that failed midnight pool game to the bedding problems, It is all for one, one for all. Failed we may have in uniting all 43 people, but for those who choose jump on the ever-enthusiastic bandwagon, you will find we have become more than friends. It is a close-knit family.

Take the cast of Under One Roof for example. they may come from wholly different backgrounds, one is even some bizarre international hybrid, but one look at their tearful goodbyes let you know that they regard themselves as one, as a family, well and truly under one roof. Or even Friends. The inexplicable chemistry is ever present despite dumbing down from showbiz, and is unlikely ever to fade.

Same goes with us, really. We come from all sorts of little nooks and crannies, but we have still all wound up in the little room, a stage to present something we have worked on for 2 whole years, some 4 , even more. Friends are like wine, really. They just get better and more priceless as it matures. From the evidence, we are one hell of a Cabernet. Or a cocktail using some expensive and old booze. Tastes like orange juice, but blows your head off after 2 sips, 'cos there's too much damn goodness in there.


And with hindsight, I think it was really destined to rain. Heaven was crying at what was possibly the biggest, and possibly last(hope not) outdoor gathering of one of the best families in the world, soon to be confined to the dusty vaults of history, never to be seen again. Pity.

But rest assured, the memories will be the polished, shining, pure gold trophy in the centre of the "Bloody Good Times That I Had"cabinet of the big grey blob in our skulls. As I quote from "All We Are" by OneRepublic...

So don't say your goodbyes you know its better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change


We won't die. 404 forever.

Hot news from AH LEE himself.

Super cool party at his house on tuesday.

booze,drugs,music & games.

All invited to come.

Girls preferred.

Hello all, been a while since i've posted anything decent, so here's the heads up, the chalet will be held on 4th to 6th December, this coming tuesday to thursday. We will most probably be meeting at hougang interchange on tuesday afternoon at approximately 1-2pm, if you happen to be interested to meet us first you can contact either me or shirleen. I will be ordering the food from a bbq caterer and depending on the attendance i will collate the total amount of money and splitting it accordingly, and do indicate if you are going for the barbeque session, but it'll be a great session to catch up, so please do turn up for it. I roughly estimate that each person will be paying about 20dollars for the food and chalet, might be lesser depending on attendance. Okay, so moving on i'll be talking about what to bring and what we might most probably be doing.

I reckon its the same shit, though i'll plan it out first to make things flow more efficiently, cause if its free and easy we'll most probably end up doing nothing. So for the first day i think we'll be settling down in the afternoon, do some catching up before we go for dinner together, before we'll go back to the room for some mahjong or dvd session ( this, i need a laptop or something ). After that we'll most probably be going for night cycling and a movie session, and then supper. We'll be walking back though.

So the very next day it'll be a breakfast session, before we head back to decide which group heads to escape and wild wild wet, i'm quite scared of heights though but its worth the scare occasionally. Then we'll maybe have a game of soccer or something, long time since we had a game together. Finally, the bbq. I've yet to grill food for a long time, so im quite looking forward to this one. Will play some stupid games in the meanwhile, with forfeits! After that you guys can go for some pool or arcade session.

And finally we end if off by having talking throughout the night, before we get some sleep and end this chalet. Breakfast the next day, maybe.

I know the activities sounds a little predictable, but the main purpose is after all to gather and talk about whats going on in our lives. After all we hardly have time now that most of us are either working or overseas, so its a good opportunity to reminisce what we've done for the last few years.

Bring all the shit you think we can possibly do, like cards, mahjong set, laptop or dvd player, to spice up the chalet. We're gonna have a live gig by weijin cos he just got his electric guitar, and i dont mind singing. After all its what i do when im really bored. See you people at the chalet!

Now, do remember to bring the basic toiletries like toothbrush, soap and a towel. Not to forget a lot of t-shirts, bermudas and undies. Just in case you get smashed by some cake or drenched with soda. Do take care of your own stuffs. Any help do hit me up @ 98297424, or alternatively contact shirleen if you want to meet us on tuesday. Take care y'all, peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
