grateful SSA'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY WAS A SPLENDID SUCCESS! WE DID A GREAT JOB AS THE MEETING EMCEES! ALL HAIL FOR KOSEN-RUFU! Forgive me for my over-display of histrionics. I was simply too elated. The emcee script was one super big problem we had to overcome cos well, they are letting me, someone who has not touched Chinese texts for a long time to do the translation. But heck, i thought i did an okay job. At least it makes sense and brings out my point. Even till the last minute, there were still many changes that my partner and i had to grapple with, like the sudden insertion of a few lines or some content. It was great between the two of us cos my partner, being older, would offer me encouragement whenever i am nervous. Hey, just imagine standing in front of a 12,000 strong crowd with 3 inch wedges.With a flowy dress. But anyway, i am just really grateful for being chosen as the meeting emcee cos it was such a wonderful and memorable experience for me. Although the make-up auntie cut my right brow with her eye-brow shaping device. OUCH. Really, not that i am being mean, but some more people do agree that some make-up aunties ought to be put through some training. How the hell does orange, green and yellow eyeshadow come together on a person with single eyelid? Weird. That was Saturday. On Sunday i first met up with the MILK Run mass dance trainers at Bugis where we went to this Hong Kong style cafe called Tong Shui Cafe for a celebration and lunch. Played zhong ji mi ma. Those who guessed the number had to eat this plate of strange-looking jelly with compliments from the boss for one of the trainers who will be having her birthday the next day. After that we just walked around Bugis Junction and i bought some really cool tshirts from the Tshirt Design Shop Graniph. Real neat. The rest of the trainers then proceeded on to have coffee while i pulled away to join the CLDDS ppl at Clarke Quay. I was late man. Then they had some silly tricks up their sleeve which ultimately was not exercised. We went to this place called Pitstop Cafe which offers a small cost area where you can enjoy great food while playing with numerous board games, some of which i have never seen before. And you can take a picture and then paste it on their walls and doodle. Shweet. Well they say a picture speaks a thousand words. So here you go:  formal the informal one. Huizi and me Silvia and me at the Pitstop Cafe the people...MARCH TOWARDS SSA'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY! you just gotta keep moving on moving on |
