Supper Lorry Update
Supper Lorry was a long time ago but, as they say memories last a lifetime, this post should still be pretty significant now.
The night started out young, with Acers gathered eagerly on level 1. Then, news broke out that one out of block A's 5 lorries broke down. Oh, you might think, who gives a shit, but soon you will see that this incident was merely the tip of a series of unfortunate/fortunate events.




So, we were left with 4 lorries to
accomodate about 70 people. Unfortunately, our lorries weren't the strongest of lorries to begin with. The following lorry, driven by
Shi Xiu, went through a near death experience at the slope after Business School
otw to
PGP.

First the lorry crawled up the slope creakily, and then suddenly, the engine gave way and the whole lorry started rolling backwards down the hill! To our relief, the lorry managed to move upwards again. But then, it started rolling down AGAIN and this time a shuttle bus was practically directly behind us, we were rolling down towards the bus!! Everyone screamed, and
blabla yeah thankfully, we're all still a-okay today.



Our first stop was at Adam Road where everyone feasted as if there is no other stops after that.






Next stop was a night walk through the cemetery near Adam Road. Then, we went to the 2nd food stop at Bedok and ate again. And then, 2 lorries went back while the others powered on to Geylang for durian.
Most of the people who went back earlier had something on the next morning. Ironically, one of the lorries broke down on the way back to Sheares on an express way. So, they were left stranded, still not back in hall anyway! I can only imagine how sien that is, but sources tell me that they had fun camwhoring. =.=
The other lorry, successfully made it back to Sheares, and then broke down. I'm getting the feeling that these things only happen to Block A. There's another story about 3 girls locked up in the level 4 toilet, but that's a story for another day, or if you're so interested, then I suggest you do some private prying yourself.
Anyway, the stranded lorry, driven by Dexter, called for help. And Sean Bai insisted that I include that he coolly repaired the lorry that broke down at Sheares and then heroically, went to save the stranded lorry with Shi Xiu. Yeah, sure. To give him some credit, he went even though he had a water polo match the next morning.
Okay, back with the 2 relatively stronger lorries, these people made it to ECP in time to laze on the windy beach-side-jetty area. And watched the sky go from dark to bright, no sunrise, just that. A sunrise would make it sound like a happy ending though right?

JTS 0809 and Happenings
When we first got on Ivy's apartment level(thanks Ivy for being so generous with providing the venue =), everyone was pretty much stunned by the view of the coast and the canopy of trees lining it. So, once we got into her apartment, we rushed over to the balcony to continue sightseeing.

That was when, someone, or rather, the only 'animal/bird' in block comm 0809, somehow got 'itself' trapped when 'it' did not realise that 'it' was slower than normal humans.
Sean was commentating on birds' behaviour in zoos etc, and about feeding it. I think there's a video somewhere, will try to source it up and upload it if it caught the funny parts.




While some of us relatively slaved away in the kitchen preparing food (not that we mind, we're just noble like that...
The others entertained themselves...


After all the hard work at play, we still managed to squeeze in a decent shot =)
