OG 11 Outing 13/10: Celebrated Jieyang's Birthday (Dec 2010)
Thursday, December 30, 2010 @ 5:26 PM
Hi Elevenies,
On 29 Dec 2010, Yuhan suggested going to Marina Barrage to have a picnic and to celebrate Jieyang’s birthday. As we wanted to catch the 11am bus at Marina Bay MRT, we decided to meet at 10.40am at Marina Bay MRT. However, Jieyang and I were late (we took the same train and were late together) and Yingling and Yuhan got a bit annoyed as we are minutes away from catching the 11am bus. We rushed to the bus stop and fortunately, when we reached the bus stop, the bus just pulled into the bus bay. When we reached Marina Barrage, we went to the roof top and we booked a good spot. After 5 minutes, Khia Peng and Dickson arrived and we started to lay out all the food to have our lunch. As we were hungry, we started to have our lunch first while waiting for Xinni to arrive.
Yingling brought honey chicken, Yuhan cooked pasta, Jieyang fried ham and Hong Kong sausage, Khia Peng cooked fried rice, Xinni brought seaweed chicken, Dickson brought 2 bottles of drinks and some tidbits and I brought utensils and 2 bottles of drinks. At about 11.50am Xinni arrived and we had lunch together with her. As usual, I have has a lot of stories this time since I just came back from Thailand and gained a lot of experience. I talked about my Thailand trip, my experience in the KTV during my NS Cohesion and also I just bought a car. When I was telling stories, the entire OG was very interested to hear and asked a lot of questions until Yuhan has to ask them to keep quiet so she can hear what I was talking about. All the issues that I mentioned will not be shared in this post. We were more careful of the flies this time and kept a lookout for any flies that wanted to land on the honey chicken which looks extremely delicious. After finishing the main course, we got a hard time thinking how to cut the chicken as we do not have any knife. As such, we decided to use our hands to peel the chicken. Khia Peng preferred chicken wing and breast, Yingling took the drumstick if I am not wrong and we shared the chicken till the chicken looks like it had been tortured. LOL.
After lunch we decided to play a card game where each player will pick up a card and with the number he picked up will have to carry out an act, ask a question, rule card or an action card. There was even a toilet card where no one in the game can go to the toilet unless they managed to pick the toilet card. Whoever did not follow the rules or follow someone holding an action card will have to drink a sip of water. We also played some guessing game where you have to guess a pattern based on a few examples. Yingling got a hard time understanding the black magic game and Dickson got a hard time understanding the dark horse game. Dickson also took a long time understanding some Maths puzzle game. I will not be going through how to play the game in this post. Can ask Yuhan or Yingling if you want.
We then went to fly our kite since the weather became quite windy. As Jieyang boasted that he was in the kite CCA when he was in secondary school, we asked him to control the kite. We were 50% successful as the purple kite managed to fly quite high but the disappointment was that the other kite was too heavy and could not fly at all. The ‘stubborn’ kite even hit someone when it came crashing down. Yingling and Yuhan was very happy flying the purple kite but Jieyang and Khia Peng was trying to make the heavier kite fly but it was a big failure. I was busy taking photos and Dickson was guarding our valuables. As it was about to rain, we went back into the shelter and continued to play card games.
During the game we played a game which involves a polar bear, hunter and some villagers including a narrator. Khia Peng also introduced to us a game which involves 2 spices, an agent and a narrator. As I am not so good in all these games, I kept causing either the spices or agent to lose. I think I am more suited to be the narrator if we play this game again. As Dickson needs to meet his parents, we took a group photo and we started to pack up. We then took a shuttle bus to Marina Bay MRT and along the way we discussed OG 11 4th Anniversary where it will be held this coming Sunday 2 Jan 2011 which will be a late night event. The outing for January will also be held on the evening of 16 Jan 2011.
May all the Elevenies have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
