Update (2) : Hall Command

This is a quick update for the events / happenings for the past week.

#nuskr Hall/Block Command

Time flies, its been a year already since I commanded last year. Attend both command for Hall and Block. Its good to see the FYFs are still so committed to the Hall.

"A Block" - The Block that I stayed for past 4+1 years. 

The performance this year was creative. I like this the most! Titled "Stomp". Too bad the clip is just the beginning of the performance.

Some other performances.

Heard of bad gossips about some of them who put in little effort for the whole show, or quit half way. 
Still thinks my batch was the best, in the sense people are more bonded, and willing to put in more effort for the Hall. :) Haha

From Get Reel to Command 09/10

Command-ed for Hall Command on 13th April, and Block Command on 14th April. Commands mark the end of 4-years Hall Life in KR.

Get Reel

The beginning of everything, Get Reel, the theme for Freshman Welcome Orientation Camp (FWOC) 06/07.

Hall Command 

I'm only involve in Opening Dance and Glow in The Dark (GiTD). A-Block Opening dance is just 6 sets of 8 counts. Pretty simple, because the our choreo – Brian, simplified the dance move for us; GiTD is a UV-light performance. There are 10 of us perform for that item, (from C-Block) Weliam, Tina, ZhuHui, Kimberly, Heidi, Esther and (A-Block) me, Joseph, Annie, Kenny.

In Hall Command, for the first time I see Tzewee cried. I alway thought Tzewee was the most 男子汉. But, who knows he was the first to burst into tears just after we walk out from curtain for the family song. Once in a life time view.

Block Command 

I think this is the best Block Command I’ve ever experienced for my 4 years in KR. Kudos to Bryan and the blockcommers. And also to the rest who helped out throughout the whole event. I’m sure they prepared hard for the event. From the decos, games, food, gifts, and the video/slideshows. Can tell a lot of efforts have been poured in for those little little items.

In Block Command, for the first time I see Haoxiang cried. His tears came off half way when he gave his speech, representing all the FYFs. I'm sure all the other FYFs felt the sentiment too when he describe how the rest of us relate to his journey in KR.

Commands were a blast

A great ending to wrap-up my 4 years fulfilling journey in KR. Compiled photos of past commands on Facebook.

Kent Ridge Hall, a home away from home.

[Photo] Points to note:
1. Place objects in the center before taking!
2. Don't flash when taking near and small object with wide background.
3. Don't flash when taking far objects! (example, the last photo, taken without flash (very blur cause my hand shake when taking), but the rest of the similar photos can't see background because of flash, and there aren't that colourful.
4. When taking formal shots, just place objects in center and fill up all the space, don't need the 1/3 rule to make things 'artistic'...
5. Stand same level when taking photos of people, can't really see faces when taking from below...
6. (Careful when taking people, make sure they don't 走光 eh! Will just degrade the photos... =.=')

visit to Tiger Brewery

Event: KR Alumni outing
Location: Tiger Brewery, Tuas
Date: 16 March 2007

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

Went Tiger Brewery in Tuas yesterday evening, 1800. The tour ambassador of Tiger Brewery took us around the factory to let us see how tiger beer is manufactured.

Actually, during the tour, she explained a lot of facts about Asia-Pacific Breweries Ltd. The company's history, the ingredient used to produce different kind of beers, the process of But, hmm, guess everyone wasn't paying attention to what she said. What is on everyone's mind is the free floor tiger beer after that, I guess. Haha.

I drank 5 glasses of beers, different kind of beers of course. Tiger, Heineken, ABC Stout, Corona, and Erdinger. Hehe, like always, the 'red spots' pop-ed up all over my body after drinking. =p

Quite an experience, to visit the brewery and drink so much (well, consider much for me; first time drink more than 1/2 glass, because mom is not around =p hehe). At least I didn't drink until like others who got 'high' or even vomit. Haha.



Heineken ;)

The ambassador told us that Corona is well liked by women.

A Block Christmas Dinner

Event: A Block Christmas Dinner
Venue: A Block Kitchen

Time: 1930

~*~*~*~*~*~

I'm sure you can tell that this is a A-Blockers dinner to "celebrate" Christmas, right? ;)

Quite a number of people turn up for this special dinner. At first we estimated about 15 people, but in the end, there are about 30 people came. That's good, the more the merrier. Ha.

I'm a Block Commer and I wasn't there, in the kitchen to help prepare the food. Feel bad seriously. But, Hall Production is more important. We need to rush out the stage despite of lacking manpower. Anyway, I helped during cleanup to compensate for not helping in the whole afternoon.

The foods were nice! Maybe one of the reason is that I’m very hungry because just came back from Stage Crew. Haha. But seriously, everything was tasty.

The dishes:
Cherry by Zhihao
Roasted Chicken by Rayner
Mashed potatoes and sauce by Joseph and Hwee Hoong
Campbell soup by Joseph and Hwee Hoong
Bread
Ribena drinks

The dinner ended around 2100.

After dinner, cleaning up actually, I went down to Rag Area to continue “duty” again.

Johor Bahru (JB) Trip

Event: A-Block JB Trip 2006
Date: 15 December 2006

Just like the years before, every year end, A Block has this trip to JB. It's just a day trip where fellow A Blockers gathered and go JB for shopping and eating seafood at the hawker stall.

Heard seniors said last year more girls went so the major event was shopping for cloths, accessories, etc. This year, more guys, so the main event is shopping for DVDs. Haha. The (pirated) DVDs shops is very "cool" lar, the shop seems normal selling CD casings, Original VCDs/DVDs, but if you want pirated ones, they owner will take you to the back of the shop. But you can't just go in anyhow as the back door is locked and you need to give the "correct password" then only the people inside will open for you to go in. You can find ANY DVD inside, just name it, the owner will show you the place of the DVDs on the shelves. I wonder how they memorize them. Another thing, they provide shipping to any country in this region. DVDs is RM5 and another RM4 if you want them to send to Singapore. (Note, Singapore is very strict in monitoring pirated CDs and DVDs). So for those people in Singapore who wish to buy CDs or DVDs, they can order online (through the shop's website). Guess the saying "Malaysia is the main export of pirated VCDs and DVDs in this region" is true.

At night, we all went to the hawker stall down the road for seafood. My table ((6 people) ordered a total of RM170 worth of food. The other table, they ordered RM300.

RM 13 ba kut tay
This reminds me of our lunch just after we reach JB. Maybe because most of them looks very Singaporean, rich Singaporean, so this shop owner charged us RM13 each for the ba kut tay (肉骨茶). Wah, I never eat such expensive ba kut tay until today. Actually, the ba kut tay is RM10, but the SMALL bowl of 油条 cost RM2 and the rice cost RM0.60, tissue cost RM0.30... really, no business ethical at all.


Ayway, the trip overall is very fun. Hmm, before came to Singapore, I thought I'll go JB to buy things, but in the end, I never go down JB until this trip... guess I'm too lazy to go down after all...
