Council Outing - Senior's Account

Last Saturday, on the 3rd of September 2005, the 6th Student Council had their first outing together (with some additions from the 5th council) and lately, some of them have been popping up with accounts of the outing on their blogs. So today, I'm here to offer a senior's account of the outing from the under-represented seniors' point of view.

**********************************************************************


So it started off with a rainy day, early in the morning. Rise and shine! The meeting time for the seniors were delayed to 11 am. And there I was, at JE MRT station at 11, only to find out that everybody else was still at home doing their hair. Fast forward 45 mins later, got everyone down at the MRT platform. Everyone consisted of me, Omar, Alvin and Hafizah. Talk about under-represented.

We went to Harbourfront to grab some snacks, since the council was left with a measly amount in their funds. It rained, again, when we arrived there. Lazed around at cold storage, where we spent what was like half an hour choosing drinks, before finally setting off.


The seniors arrived to a funeral-silent scene. We found out later that they've already tired themselves out. That was at 1.30 pm, and some of them have already gone out like six hours before that. They sure don't sleep much.



The first thing that we did there after changing was... dump people!!! Nobody was safe from the water. Except Ms Ridz of course, who had the Aura of Detention to protect her.




Once we got bored of dumping, we went digging! Did a sand makeover of Arif, with extra large assets with the complete genital features and all. Thus the product of adolescent hormones running amok.





Boredom never lasted long on that day. There were always games to play. The kids were playing soccer, frisbee and other assortments of amusing activities to fill the time.

But best of all was the game of Dog and Bone, where everyone played. Simple, but highly amusing when played in the sand with all the cheery atmosphere. It was a battle between the seniors and juniors as we separated ourselves into two groups, one being the sec 2s and the other being the sec 3s and 4s. There were lots of accidents, violent wrestling, slipping, kicking, sand throwing and other nasty play, but it was fun nonetheless. Had a two rounds of that and obviously the supreme seniors won both. As punishment, the juniors had to do a forfeit.


For losing the first round, they had to do some butt spelling. Guess what the phrase was? 'Commonwealth Secondary School Student Council 2005'. Their butts deserved a spelling-B prize after all that.

For losing the second round, they won themselves a Funky Chicken display, including an all-original Ms Ridz version. That was a definite laugh for the seniors.

And like all outings, there's lots of pictures involved. I spotted the Bollywood trend of taking pictures behind trees in the photos, so let me present to you the Bollywood series:






Life is never empty of irony. Look at the following pic:

Then we found this:

Signboards lie...


And how can we forget the darling seniors... Yes people, zoom into Omar's head. It's not gelled!!! Wow! The whole world will make such a big deal about it and publish it in every tabloid on Earth! Sheesh, like anyone cares about that Omar...


We somehow got ourselves up there to take this wonderful picture. And unfortunately, no, Alvin's not dead. Damn.

So there you have it, our outing at the beach. One heck of a time. Had to cut it short since 'mummy' Ms Ridz couldn't stay long. Went back to Harbourfront where we rendezvous with Kel Vin (a fifth senior, yeah!!!) for dinner.

Went back home before nine! Gasp!!! That's early. The last time the council had an outing, most of us came back on the stroke of midnight! Hope to have the next one that long too, hehe, don't tell mummy that. That's all there is.

Sure is a fresh change to have a day account on this blog. Nah, I'm not gonna do it all the time, too troublesome. Btw, tweaked the layout a bit to make it less irritating. Comment if you still find anything troublesome.

Woah, just realised that almost to the bottom, there hasn't been an intelligent entry in sight! I might lose my reputation as a good blogger. Gotta come up with something good soon...

And thanks to Cheryl and Geraldine for the pics! (and yes, they're hosting them, hehe)Go visit their blogs for more pictures from the outing, link's on the side. Phyo has a minute-by-minute account on his blog too. Check them out!



Another hint of boredom and stupidity. Lol.
