Post Exams-Mortem Part I I
Ok, I'm lagging again but nooo time lahhh, can't blame me for bloggin things that happened 48 hours ago.And here we are !! At our long-awaited IG gathering!!
While Ivy, Janice and co were at the other side of town pouring wines and 'savouring' French desserts with that cute French chef with lingering accent, we were at Heeren eating good food! And watching Johnny gulp down those aphrodisiac mollusks with lodsa lemon *squeeeezeeeee* then *ouch!* Hahaha. He squeezed the lemon till the juice squirted into his eyes. Ivy and Janice, you guys missed ONE HELL of a *classic*. We were worried for Sweet coz Johnny might not tahan through the night after swallowing 3 oysters -- with 1 complimentary of Mr. Lee. (His intention was kind actually-- wanted Johnny to chew and taste, not swallow. I mean, what are you guys thinking???)
A pity Ivy wasn't there, Gosh, my dear IVy, if you were there, I'm pretty sure things would have been more fiery coz we entered the topic of our lecturers' chinese names...My god!! You should have seen me, A-Long and Dilys exhanging glances and laughin like siao when Mr. Lee started asking us whether we knew his chinese name. And finally, the mystery is out !!! Now, we know his REAL chinese name. And it's woaaa, so chim and grand like the Sacred Emperor *giggles*. And we sparked off into another heap of laughter when he asked us which lecturer's chinese name is the funniest. And who else, but Sim Ban Sheong?!!! HAHAHA. And so Mr Lee dared A-Long to shout across the parade square 'SIM BAN SHEONG!!!' and wave wildly when Mr Sim step out of the staff room. HAHAHAHA I'm so looking forward to that moment. (Go Check it out!!!)
The course of conversation steered into Orientation...Jasmine actually suggested wanting to let the new intake dance cheesy dance moves! My god! *slap my forehead* "Ivy will flip!" I told Anita. And Mr Lee emphasized to Lishi that she'll be the next upcoming Director of Dance and woahahah, that sparked it off. With her 'contemperoray ballet' background, we were imagining the new cohort spinnin' and bouncin' with twirls on the parade square. Way to go, Lishi!!! Ivy, I thought you were outstanding enough....HAhahaha....green out of blue ah, as the chinese proverb goes.
And their batch gonna have $300 extra cash (eh, what about us????) so Mr Lee proposed that IG organised a couple of activities to involve the whole of TAS. We jumped from idea to idea...hahah...Johnny's street soccer, A-Long's wheel of fortune (!??!)....marketing TAS as a tourist destination...and that brings me back to that old joke which I told a thousand times. The other time when me and Anita and I-forgot-who (either King or Jerry) were painting Orientation banners outside Block G, some Japanese tourists eyed us from a distance, glanced at the Sentosa maps in their hands, looked at us again and with one finger pointing on the map, asked Anita, "Artists' Village???" We just burst out laughing like anything on earth.
Eventually, we moved on for coffee at Coffee Express just opposite Heeren. The coffee was an unfortunate disappointment for me. We waited for long while Kissy happily enjoyed her cheesecake. Anita claimed that hers was fine though. But Dilys' and I compared our Tiramisu Lattes and wow, the inconsistency was like heaven and earth. I like lattes for their multi-layers but no way was I going to drink layer by layer (ever again) since Mr Lee brought the idea up. We went on to discuss about songs and suddenly we started exhanging national songs over coffee. Hahaha. I thought the Burmese national anthem was cool until Kissy innocently commented that it sounded like a lullaby to put baby to sleep and injected lodsa puttin-baby-to-sleep actions to emphasize her point. We couldn't stop laughing while Johnny looked point blank. And then I discovered that M'sia anthem no chorus...hmmm...I actually thought national anthems will usually have a chorus to emphasize some main points but I was wrong. And Mr Lee commented that the China national anthem sounds like a good wake-up call (qi lai, qi lai !!) since Kissy's version didn't exactly sound that patriotic given her sweetly-shrill vocals.
And I can't wait for our next gathering at KTV!! I hope Jasmine will be there too; miss her melodious vocals. And I'm so curious to hear the rest sing!! Like choir boy A-Long and dainty Dilys. And then there's always accompaniment by Lishi's contemperoray moves. And hopefully, we'll have the majority turn up this time round.
