27th October 2008 outing ---- by popular demand!

Um.. hi guys.. this is Tanya.. I was asked to blog about the movie outing the youths had to One Borneo last Monday, the 27th October, which was a public holiday because of Deepavali.
How did it all start out, you wonder?
We have no pictures, unfortunately, so this post has to go solely on my descriptions and details and YOUR imagination!!

Well, last Saturday night, the only youth representatives, Wen Yi, Wen Yiing and myself were at newlyweds (Auntie and Uncle?) Joyce and Jeffrey's wedding dinner at a seafood restaurant(forgot its name. next to Wawasan Plaza there?) and we were talking as usual. Then one of the Soo sisters (forgot which one, XD) suddenly suggested going to watch a movie on Monday.
I was literally like, "Eh, can lo! YAY!"
And the sisters were like, "Watch what?"
Then I was like, "High School Musical 3!"
And then the sisters also went "Yay!"

XD juuust kidding. I can't remember how the conversation went, but the next day(Sunday after church during fellowship lunch) we were discussing with the youths about details, arranging transport and such. At first the guys were totally freaked out about watching a TEENY-BOPPER DISNEY SINGING SHOW, but somehow they still wanted to come... (hmm.. suspicious!)

Comes Monday, the big outing day! We had planned to meet at GSC, 1Borneo at 12pm. My parents went to pick up Wen Yi, Wen Yiing, Jeremy, Samuel and Shelby. We were there on time and just hung around outside the cinema laughing at upcoming movie posters and making fun of each others' taste in movies. Samuel and Jeremy were thinking of catching "Eagle Eye", but alas!! The next show time was in 7 hours. Nyehehe! They were stuck with High School Musical 3(HSM3)!

Complaints of hunger then brought our group down to the basement looking for lunch (the other group - in Ivan's car, were late) and we ended up in the famous.... KFC! We were halfway through our Snack Plates/Dinner Plates/wedges/fries when the group from Ivan's car finally arrived. While they had their lunch, those who had finished their food or did not want to eat went back up to the cinema to buy the tickets in advance for the 2.20pm show.
The total amount of tickets we had to pay for was RM149! No wonder movie stars are so rich!!
But there was 17 of us. Big number, eh?

And I shall list down all 17 of the people that needed tickets. Ahem...

Tanya, Wen Yi, Wen Yiing, Shelby, Samuel, Jeremy Lim, Ivan, Adrian, Aaron, Amy, Timothy, Brian, Jeremy Koh, Raymond, Rachelle, Crystal and even little Pearly! =)
Everybody had arrived except for Rachelle, Crystal and Pearly. It was still early so we decided to hit the arcade and play some games. The highlights in that arcade was racing Daytona USA. It was fun and funny watching each other race and ram into hedges and dent their cars onscreen. XD

At 2.00 pm we left the arcade to go back to GSC to buy our popcorn and drinks. We met up with Rachelle, Crystal and Pearly there. Then, Adrian had this 'brilliant' idea of lining all 17 of us up in a long line to systematically march into the theater, just to see the look on the ticket-collector guy's face. -.-
So, they were really slow in 'lining up' so I just went in first, haha, and they said i ruined their great plan. Sorry guys, but you were just too slow. I bet we caused a scene, a big group of noisy teenagers crowding the entrance to the cinema hall... But the ticket-collector guy didn't show any emotion. He just acted nonchalant, like rowdy groups of teenagers came by all the time. They probably do, anyway.

We were seated towards back right hand side of the theater. After the normal 'upcoming movie' trailers, High School Musical 3 started!

Well I won't rant on about what I personally thought of the movie here. You'll have to ask us in person or go watch it yourself. But let me tell you that the guys would softly groan everytime a song started. And the songs weren't bad at all! Guys. *shakes head*

An hour and forty minutes later, the movie ended with a dramatic song number. We exited the theater. Adrian's eyes were red! Did he cry???

No. He FELL ASLEEP halfway through the movie. Tsk tsk tsk.

The other guys were being all sarcastic, saying,
"IT WAS SO NICE TO WATCH!"
"WA, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ROCKS!" and so on, so forth. I still think that secretly they like it, but they are too proud to admit it. Wahaha! You never know.

After the movie, yeap, back to the arcade we went, but only to shoot some hoops at the basketball machine thingie. All the boys went into a frenzy, tossing balls into the basket, and let's just say they didn't exactly follow the rules of the game. There were about 4 or 5 or even more guys at ONE single machine, throwing basketballs at the same time, just trying to beat the high score. They couldn't. =(
A small crowd had gathered to watch this crazy large group of laughing and shouting teenagers throw basketballs. Either they were watching us or waiting for their turn, which didn't come anytime soon.

And then.. the day ended around 5pm. We went home tired yet happy because we had spent a nice afternoon together, though I'm pretty sure the guys will stay away from movie outing if we are only to watch musicals.
=D

SORRY for the super long, SPM level karangan-clone post. I already tried to simplify it. The youths that were there know what I mean, but hopefully I set the atmosphere for you guys who weren't there.. I AM HONOURED IF YOU READ THROUGH THIS WHOLE POST WITHOUT GETTING BORED OF MY WRITING!
