council camp 09
went for council camp yesterday! its the last council camp ill get to visit in a few years, so i surely could not miss it. at first, there were only us 25ths around, but gradually, the 26ths and 27ths started streaming in. we were still commenting how we were the oldest around when the 24ths all dropped by together! it was nice catching up with my fellow councillors.
25ths!
the council teachers have changed alot... only ms eva hor and ms kristine ong are left amongst our batch of council teachers. but ms hor is on sabbatical, so that leaves ms ong as the most senior council teacher around. she told us that our old council room is gone, and so were the furniture which we purchased. the new council room is in the estate room, and it is smaller than before, but still as messy. at least theres air con too, but doesnt seem as cosy as last time.
new council room!
darren and i went to look around our old council room, and noticed that the cubby holes are still around HAHA. we commented how amazing it was that those cubby holes are now empty, when it used to be an impossible feat to clear them. couldn't find any jives around though. wanted to look back at what kind of nonsense we used to write during our term haha...
we also looked at the programme for council camp, and commented how much slacker it is now than before. but then every batch of councillors would tell their juniors the same thing. and it is indeed true. the activities now are really much less physically demanding than before. and several highlights are gone, which is quite sad... they do not get to enjoy sunrise at the rooftop, nor do they get to do dragon boating anymore. i felt that those were 2 of the nicest highlights of council camp.
after that, the councillors all went off for buddy lunch. sadly, my 24th buddy is in australia, and one of my 26th buddy is busy while i was unable to contact the other.
darren had somewhat the same situation as me, so in the end we crashed
lizhan's buddy lunch. oh and i found my 28th, and gave her my no, but forgot to ask her to give me a miss call, so i didnt get to see my 29th after that when they met up.
after lunch, a few of us 25ths went for our karaoke session.
charles was driving as usual, but he was fetching a few others home too, so we squeezed 5 people in the back seat. after dropping his buddies off, we headed for karaoke at
charles' super zai clubhouse. we call it super zai because the cost is lower than kbox, yet the song list is more extensive than kbox!
as usual,
wes would select all the li sheng jie songs, which are a real challenge to sing. i tried singing some new songs, but i think i failed horribly at zui xing fu de shi! i guess liang wen yin is just too good for me to sing her songs well. we also sang xia yi ge tian liang, and
amelia and i agreed how well the little boy sang that song on campus superstar finals. so touching, almost comparable to guo jing's rendition!
one song which i liked alot was mayday's ru yan, which i posted in my previous entry. i realised there are no repetitions in the entire lyrics, and when u actually sing that song, you have a 感触良多 kind of feeling! i still like the rose part of the lyrics the best...
有没有那么一朵玫瑰
永远不凋谢
永远骄傲和完美
永远不妥协
oh and we sang the 12 minute leo ku song too! haha. i was so out of breath at the end of the 12 min, but it was fun! luckily this week there's tutorial test - thats one lesson down, so i wont have to speak that much. otherwise, i think my voice will surely be gone by the end of the week :D
on a side note, ive just heard gigi's new album, and i really like it!
its probably my 2nd most favourite album of the year (so far), after cheer's tai yang album.
recommended songs: ai de qi, cuo guo, li wu, abcdefGG
