Went home after Shimin's party to change and pack! gonna stay over in school tonight, so better change into some comfy clothes and pack in those chargers, camera, phone...and of coz toothbrush and an extra tee.
i think only NUS has such a big event, every year on the saturday before national day, we'll have a mini chingay style parade. Preparations for floats and dance begins way back. This year's theme for SDE is Alice in wonderland, so the float is made with a myriad of colours, as bright as possible. Makes u feel happy when u look at it. =)
then it was straight to SRC where all the floats and dancers are. same as last year's, the performance will be held in school, no sleep for us, when we got there, kelly n i immediately went to kaypo on other faculty's float...honestly, ours is the best! hehehez =P honestly
.Of course we cant compare to the Halls, theirs are much more extravagant and more intricate compared to faculties. kelly n i both luv the Whale float! and there it is....it's all recycled materials by the way
5 mins dry run, we set at the spectators stand to watch, OH MY GOD! it's AWESOME ! thumbs up! weiting n i were moved to tears...... tears of happiness =)
and finally the moment we've all been anticipating, the actual performance itself, much much better than the dry run of course, all out! Beautiful. once again, we're moved to tears...awwwww well done freshies!
not to mention the weather was sooo excruciatingly hot today, during the break kelly n i decided to hide out at the university hall where we met tyler n jolene. haha also there to hide from the blazing sun! until results time!
This year, WE WON! omg so so so happy! i remember last year we walked away with heavy hearts, but we WON this year! yipppeeeee! 3 AWARDS
1. NUS President’s Challenge Shield for Best Float (Best Overall Rag Presentation) 2. NUSSU Challenge Shield for Most Environmentally Friendly Float
3. AIA Challenge for Best Freeze Flashmob
kudos to all the dancers and floaters! and especially the Rag head GARVIN!

when everybody arrives, time for cake cutting! it was really funny because, the candles were missing! oh no! tsk tsk....jianjian not doing his job well enough! orh hor! =P
well wishes for the birthday girl
Marcus and michelle suggested we go there for a picnic, but unfortunately marc couldnt get the car in time so we only went there at 11pm at night =P
We were all really bored and dying for a meetup...my bestie is finally back from hongkong! ya i know i've mentioned it in the previous post, but finally got to see her in person! =P haha picture evidence//
went to pick nelson up from his place, so nice of him to buy chips and drinks and then to tiong bahru to pick marc's exchange friend katharina. she wasnt the only tourist to henderson wave coz i havent been there either =P 
It was super duper crowded that night! probably because it's the last wed, (excuses) =P and mambo was goooood and they really played the korean song! i skipped phuture that night, coz it was uber crowded with girls and sabertooths (ewww).
christina was the organizer for that evening, we played games, sat on mini stools, ate on mini tables and wore party hats and name tag, only 9 of us but it was definitely an experience i'll prolly remember well, maybe till im 40.
party ended around 9 plus, undecided as we always are, we drove to nana's, waited for her to change out of mac uniform, and finally set our minds on Timbre @ the art house. finally somewhere a quarter century old fella would be seen at.
even the songs he request spoke of his age. mm bop by the hansons. we had more food at timbre coz nana was hungry and kelly n i were craving for the duck pizza *yum yum*
the night ended with a phi song called "Anak" which means Child. it was a slow song, can see that the singer put lots of emotions while singing the song. sounds like a real sad song, go find out the meaning!
