Heys.. here's the update you've all been waiting for abt saturday!! =P
21st June, 2008
Who knew how much preparations went into making this day a success? haha.. after countless days of planning.. mass sms-ing and calling for ideas and such.. it finally happened.. a 2months late Bdae celebration for Dotty!! =X lolz..
The meeting
Well.. Don't really rmb much about this, other than Meows and Dotty being the earliest to arrive (biggest suprise was Meows, cuz she's perpetually late it seems!! but i guess Dotty being with her sorta countered that xD ), followed by me and Fun (whom i dragged along cuz he said he wanted to skip lessons), Robby, and finally the Twinies =)
Was a little awkward i admit, making decisions and choices initially.. Perhaps i was stuck in an introverted mode for too long.. but anyways, after much deciding with the group, we found our way to Vivocity, and ate Chicken rice at one of the restaurants there..
Lunch was ok la.. but wasn't really worth the $ in my opinion.. maybe i'm too used to the big portions of kampong chicken my parents always bring me to.. but that didn't matter, cuz i knew there was something in store for us later on ^^ we then headed to the sky garden area to get our tix into Sentosa.
The Beach
Hehe, it was dem crowded la.. People everywhere etc.. Since all the better places were taken up, we settled ourselves in this tent area which had shade as well as fans =O kinda suprising right? Haha.. well we got chased out later.. but not before a few things happened..
Well, the 1st one wasn't too good.. At that same tent area, Dotty&Meows bumped into someone they knew from YJ, and we were given the information that Patch, a cat from sch.. wasn't with us anymore.. Not exactly the best way to start a celebration was it? Well, the guys were getting to work.. Fun was on the guitar trying to change the atmosphere of the place, while me and rob started digging for "buried treasure", or rather dig a hole big enough to bury someone inside later.. xD
After a while, after dotty and meows finished making their calls to the juniors, they started taking notice of the large hole we were making.. ^^ good, now that we caught your attention.. Let me introduce you to a little friend of mine..
Kurohige-san~!! xD
What is Kurohige you wonder? =O its actually this pirate inside a barrel, and there's slots in the barrel for you to poke sword in.. if you're unfortunate enough to poke the wrong hole, it'd trigger the mechanism to make Kurohige fly out of the barrel.. And well.. GG to you? ;)
was sorta motivated to buy it, after i saw this episode of "Hardo Gay" with it xD can find the video here

So.. why was this thing so impt? Let me try to illustrate.. When the guys and girls are seperated into groups, and the team's survival hangs on the thread linked to whoever chooses the wrong hole.. Its like a dramatic scene waiting to explode~!! Especially since i came up with several forfeits for the losing team in this case xD
Poor Dotty.. on the 5th sword, she became the 1st victim.. The Penalty? having something drawn on her by her group using permanent marker xD it actually turned out quite well cuz i guess girls are born artists.. lol, lucky her? =P
2nd up, was Meows.. who pop-ed Kuro-san out on the 1st sword =X well, bad luck's like that i guess =P She had to lead her group in a session of warm-ups~
Then.. when it seemed like the guys might actually have their turn.. There was Amberlyn.. on the 7th sword i think ;) the penalty, was to do a commercial.. Which i took the liberty of filming down, and you can now all enjoy it on a youtube page near you xD

Well, sadly we didn't have time to use the big hole we just made.. cuz shortly after the commercial was filmed, we all sorta got chased out of the tent area.. =( boo.. so after covering up the hole the best we could, we left to find another location to put our stuff.. =)
The Sea
After that, we had lotsa fun taking pictures, playing monkey in the water with a volleyball.. I realised i was seriously "Dem attractive", for the wrong things.. somehow Garbage finds its way to be quite easily =X anyways now, if you followed those stereo-typical japanese animes, what else is missing from this picture? =P Haha.. don't worry, we do have it.. Meows was nice to have prepared Home-made food for us all with dotty's help~!! ^^ Ranging from Sandwiches to finger foods.. there was Chips and drinks brought by the rest of us too.. =) i'll let the pics do the talking for now..
before we left though, we were lamenting how we hadn't gotten the chance to bury someone yet.. Suprisingly out of the blue Amber willingly volunteered to be buried~!! =O suddenly invigorated with renewed energy.. Me and rob once again got to digging another hole by the beach.. haha.. may i now present to you, our mascot Mermaid Amby~!! *clapclapclaps* ^^ Thanks for being so spontaneous.. lolz..
And the mermaid is born xD
Amber, after being dug out =P
Ben & Jerry!
the day sped by rather quickly after that.. we showered up, and headed towards our final destination.. Vivo's Ben&Jerry to get ice cream for dear Dotty =) as well as getting her to open her presents.. haha..
Meows had to leave soon the desserts, and we said our gd byes.. the rest of us the spent some time at the sky garden after that.. Its a really romantic place i feel.. with a professional guitarist by our side setting the mood =) we played a bit of card games, while dotty and rob went to find a marker to decorate "wilson", my badly abused volleyball of the day =P .. haha, the bridge game was kinda cute... I think Amber kinda had bad luck, cuz more than one occasion she asked for a reshuffle cuz he only had a queen in her hand xP poor girl.. but then.. her bad luck with queen came and visited me as well too.. =X lolz..
The Home trip
it was about 11+ when we all decided to head home.. Fun, dotty and robby went on the train.. so to even out, i took 857 with the twins which took me near my place =) Haha.. the bus ride was rather eventful too.. Got Adel to try out the cat ears she's been wanting for a while.. And Amby did the same too.. Meows~!!
And they got their revenge on me for "Vandalising" their hands earlier on as well.. T_T sry k? i'll go practice some chibi drawings to do a better job next time? hehe.. what i got was quite cute actually.. it was a turtle with an oversized head such that it can't hide inside its shell.. Not sure if amber intended any special meaning behind it, but a person who can't retreat into its shell.. Means he has to boldly face anything thrown his way and move forward, am i right? ;) haha.. that might be inspiration for a story someday..
We chatted about all sorts of things on that trip.. making me wish this fun-filled day didn't have to end.. There was one part which i can't rmb what we were talking abt.. but their reply was" Nah, gabby's a Gentlemen.. so no need to worry while he's around" =P
Its been a while since i heard someone say that.. If that doesn't make me happy, i wonder if anything ever will.. xD Haha..
That was today recalled as best i can.. Quite a long post isn't it? i'm sure there's more if only my memory wasn't so rusty.. but still, i'm sure there's more good times to come amongst us friends =) Dotty~!! your turn to plan the outing!! lol
and oh, Weilings~!! if you're reading this, we wished you were here!! our family gathering wasn't complete without you =P hahaha
MeowMew Family Forever~!!
