Chalet and SDD 2006
Daily Ramblings, Interesting Stuff December 7th, 2006 @ 1227h
Phew, I haven’t had time to catch my breath these few days. Still suffering from the lack of sleep as I type this. But anyway, these four days had been kinda fun.
It was chalet from Monday. We played Mahjong, saw people come and left, ate pizza, watched movie, played cards and slept. During the first night, there were only guys left. Gosh, it looked like an army camp of sorts. The next day wasn’t that great as well during the day. There were only three of us left during the “climax” – namely me, XL and +imo. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean II (which I am getting a bit bored of) and went to swim.
Oh yea, have I mentioned the mobile phone reception for Singtel users at the chalet was REAL BAD? Learning from experience, I kept my mobile phone operator at “manual” and as such, I keep losing connection every now and then. Even when connected, making phone calls or sending SMS is a pain. If I had set it to automatic, it would have connected to some Indonesian provider.
Then BBQ came and that’s when for some reasons I’ll not be disclosing here, I fell into a sort of depression. The food was good. But my mood was not. Well, I finally decided that it was not worth it getting all sad and lonely over such a thing and I decided to let go. Never felt any worse after that.
Wednesday was THE DAY – the SDD.
Woke up in the morning, went home and then rushed off to school to get the equipments. When we thought we were ready we set off to Ritz Carlton Hotel… only to find out there were some stuff that we lacked. With one hour to spare, we rushed back to school by taxi and rushed back there again just in time. It was really stressful and what I wrote here is only a little of what we experienced.
The projector was real lousy. There was a greenish tint to the images it displayed and it got greener over time. We were “treated” to a dinner of sorts that was not even comparable to the dinner course those at the prom had. Ate our fill, went back in and began panning the camera for the event and making sure things work.
Anyway, here’s the short video we made. It’s probably the last “speech” you’ll ever hear of from Mrs. Chan.
The lucky draw for the SDD was just great. There were more than 100 prizes to give away. Including several Ipod Nanos that Mrs. Chan sponsored, a mobile phone, a PDA, Modelling Contracts and two return tickets to Perth. No wonder they had so many sponsors!
The whole thing just ended today about one hour ago when we returned all the equipments. I think I need a break. I hardly have enough sleep now.
