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!

MERDEKA!!!!

=D

doesnt take a genius to guess who this might be...
and yeah, Tunku Abdul Rahman did a historical chanting, shouting thingie of 'MERDEKA!" seven times in 1957 (Sejarah, ahem, ahem)..
Now, Aaron, Aaron square (who is who? XD) Gregory, Jeremy, Pui Hua, Pui Hin, Travis and MEEEEEEEEE plus many other of our friends can all chant and shout MERDEKA seven times too, after our seven PMR subjects we sat through this whole week!! Err, unless somebody took Chinese. That would make it eight merdekas?

ahem. anyway.

I KNOW you all think and say PMR is easy, not important, blah blah blah. Doesnt mean you just plonk right in the classroom and dont do your best and dont care if your results arent good, right?
let me stress out abit about how I did, okay?? Its not like I'm going hysterical........ yet. =p


But still, thanks so much for all your prayers and wishes. I so so so appreciate it!!!!

Current task at hand is filling up my free time. Suggestions!!!!! I dont wanna become a couch potato...

I wanna go OBS. =(

sigh.

anyway.

YOUTH AT TIMOTHY'S HOUSE THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT END UP GOING TO A DARK AND EMPTY ANNEX HALL!!!!

Oh. Enclosed is a random video of Edgar's punishment for ice breakers last saturday. people who werent there, DONT ASK! JUST WATCH! and be confused. =)

Tanya here.

First off I wanna say HATS OFF to Ronan for thinking of this blog idea.. I mean, we all can see now that its a big hit. among ourselves lah, haha.. BRILLIANT!
but see? we can all tell each other about our lives and such things even during the weekdays, and even keep in touch with those not in KK.. and let the adults have a glimpse of how we think and etc... you know what I mean.

I'd much rather blog HERE than in my own blog, actually.

to WEN YI :
I am TOTALLY biased about you going to Singapore. Of course I am. Cause I will MISS YOU and when you originally had at least another year here you would leave about the same time as those who were already planning to leave. Example, those A-Level graduates and SPM graduates and.. yeah..
Trying to put ALL biased excuses aside...

This singapore scholarship IS a big deal.
Either decision you make, you will wonder, "What would have happened if I stayed in KK/took that scholarship".
I don't want you to regret staying here and giving up that scholarship and a chance to be a scholar, an opportunity leap to greater heights when you're so young (I mean, you're pushed back but its still WAY more advanced than here)to become so 'powerful' and independant. To prepare yourself for university....
compared with staying in LOK YUK. I mean. come on. LOK YUK compared with METHODIST' GIRLS SCHOOL.
ha. you get my point. But your friends in Lok Yuk 'win', I THINK. =)

I also don't want you to regret going there, experiencing the thrills of independence, living out by yourself, meeting people from all around the world, having the name of a SCHOLAR, and saving all that money (dont get me wrong-saving is good!) and miss out on your last few years of 'childhood'.

Teenhood.

Whatever.. I mean.. when I think of going out to study at your age, the first thing I think of is like, giving up your last few moments of freedom. Because once you go.. You are like living the life of a UNIVERSITY STUDENT. You're only 16 this year!
You'd be under pressure to study hard and keep the scholarship. I know there's time for fun, but your schoolmates and friends will also be your competitors.

I don't have a SINGLE doubt about you handling it. I know you can, 100%. But do you WANT TO be able to handle this? To be under such pressure and stress. Is it worth it? (Sorry for sounding like a drill sergeant)

Will you become hardened from living in such a cold and 'harsh' environment from such a young age compared with gaining a little bit more life experience here?
Or are you up for the challenge of becoming independent and 'your own person' and learning different things, different ways of life... I admit that the thought of becoming so independent and living 'by myself' in another country as nice as Singapore would make me feel kinda 'powerful'.

I don't know about you...Will it be worth it?

I'm SORRY! I don't think I helped you at all. That was the only think I could think of right now.
That was DEFINITELY biased. Sigh. Sorry. I almost wish that I got the scholarship so I can go with you...I would be in the same class... =')

We will all be praying for you. Just be sure that the decision you make is totally God's will. He has great plans for you either way though...Talk to you soon...

HAHAH!

Well i recieved an email from the REVO team (remember the rally we went to at Yayasan Sabah there?)

and guess what I found?
HAHAHA.

AAAH!! (this is Tanya)

I was supposed to post all the Game Night pictures and stuff.... and update... and I think I might start to do a CHRISTIAN MUSIC section here...

Since 'Music Is My Business' <---(get it?!?!?! HAHA)

I'll list down lyrics and youtube links to the songs.

Or can anybody teach me how to post videos straight away here that I steal from Youtube??

Well...I feel lazy to do either right now. Didn't have a very good day. In fact, it practically was a really bad day.

*I had a bad day, I'm taking one down.. I sing a sad song just to turn it around........*

It was stupid. Haiz.

Don't wanna think about it.

And Trials 2 is next week.

Percentage of preparation ...> 20% out of 100%

I am dead. Tired. Stressed. Troubled. Confused. Frustrated....

PMR in 39 days. Or less.

AAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need the youths and a great deal of cold jokes from You-Know-Who.





By the way... yeah yeah yeah so what, I wore a dress.. is it THAT big a deal?!?!?!?!?!??!
