heh time really flies and it has been so long since our class chalet ended, but nv really blogged about it yet, unlike other classes who would straight away throw their pics online for the whole AJC to see.

but we are different. we do not just place pics to show, then state at the bottom of the post, "a picture states a thousand words so i dont need any more words". ( im not being class-ist here, im just saying we are different.)

only when one looks back at a memorable event can one only realsie that time really flies.

2708 2009 chalet january

it was a pity not everyone could join us, but join us or not, this is just one in many outings we are going to have.

so lets not just keep one of this beautiful memory in just pictures taken in a flash, but put some heartfelt thoughts so as to show how important such stuff is.

ok enough of the emo talk, and lets start the picture uploading....

first day, not many people came, so we were just slacking around, swimming in the pool and playing the ever trusty cards and mahjhong.

then later went down to the food court to eat and saw many people there.

then going back to chalet, we all we doing some talk cock sing song sessions , learning more about one another's "secrets"


we also were playing the guitar that xiao rong and louis brought.

some mini camp fire light sing song session. who cares if we cant sing man. all we need are laughter, and frens, and a guitar that can really make music.

talking cock all night long,
playing rounds and rounds of mahjhong,
hoping that the chips would last,
but the night was leaving fast.
then when the clock struck 4,
we placed the mattress on the floor,
to exhausted to play some more
we retired to the beds,
and waited for the day to break.
the promise of more fun,
when the rest of the people come.

the next day this old blogger had to leave early so did not kno wad happened, but judging from the pics 2708 had fun roller blading.


someone once said : " the best part of a barbecue is not the food, but the starting of the fire with your friends"

a pity this old blogger couldnt start the fire with u all, but came back in time for the night cycling.

before that, was just hanging around, playing games like "i have ever" and majhong. here is one of kerby's dare. i placed the video at the end of this post cos its hard to drag up all teh way here.


heh, the cycling was really fun ( though i rode the route before with another group of people ), especiall the down hill parts. if only it was a tad later at night, when there would be no cars. then would be super shoik.


haha went to the old changi hospital for some kicks, and though i have been to haunted places before, this time i was the most scared as oswell began explaining all the rules of going into a haunted house.

• dont point the torch above 45 degrees
• dont walk in groups of 3
• do not turn around when u hear your name
• do not call other people's name.
• do not shout or run around
• walk in an orderly file
• and if you see something, do not scream or tell it to the rest, keep it to yourself and share it only when we reach home.

i was scared. were the rest?


but all in all we had fun.
(who wouldnt? with 2708 around, no place is scary enough to take away the fun. )

by the time we came back, was so tired that we all fell asleep.

and as with most class chalets, the next morning would be to check out, with us still all being half asleep.

but we all did left our mark.

----------------

now i have another inspiration to write something to you all about the new year, and it all began when i found a piece of paper i used to remember writing in one of my first lectures and passing it around.

most people fell for it.

this was way back when most of 2708 was in OG 25 still. but no matter, now its 2708 that matters, furthermore most of our og mates who have left us would have also found happiness in their own classes : ) pity it aint 2708.

well dats the sad thing sometimes. after leaving each other in the future, would we still remember each other? so may this blog be our rememberance, in case we do have to get on with life in the future, just like this paper i happen to find in my stash, and brought back alot of memories of 2008 with og 25.

the "breif" journey of 2008 ~ 2009

• when we still did not know each other
• when most of us were still thinking of sec school
• till we got grouped in PW groups
• till we had our first PE together
• till we bade goodbye to teachers like MR chu and MR how
• till we mugged for our first exam
• till we got our horrific results
• till we passed GP for the first time
• till we did our first pull ups
• till we passed our napfa
• till we played dota as a class for the first time
• till we started being obsessed about pokemon cards and neopets
  
• till we did our major SL project
• till we stayed up late with each other to finish our WR
• till we mugged for promos
• till some of us promoted and some of us were still unsure
  
• till we cheered each other on during OP
• till we breaked for holidays
• till we met again and counted down to the new year
• till school reopened and 2708 met again, with not one soul retained in the dreaded J1.

well. its 14 days to 2009 now. it would not be like before, some of us have grown closer to one another, some of us have found our best buddies, and some of us have somehow drifted apart. but there would be something that sould be still worth keeping, which is traditions of 2708.

traditions of 2708

• we wait for everyone to buy finish food before we eat
• we play scissors, paper , stone with those who eat the same stall with us and the loser has to help return the plate
• we go reading room to study during breaks
• dota matches ( a class of guy and girl players! )
• we basket ball after PE
• the track stomp
• we go NYP to eat after school
• copying aint an issue : )
• for the guys, pull up after every lesson
• being 5 mins late for each class
• singing birthday songs for each special person.
• and outings when we feel like it.

(there may be more, to tell if i miss any)

well do hope we keep these traditions, and stay together as a class in 2009!

!!!!!JIA YOU FOR A LEVELS AND PW RESULTS!!!!!

last but not least, here is kerby's vid which i promised.
