SACO Mega Celebration

We finally held our SACO Mega Celebration on the 1st October, celebrating not one or two, but THREE birthdays, and of course 1 year 3 months and 4 days of Excellence since the beginning of SACO!

Am too lazy to upload the photos, but I must say the event was nothing short of a blast!! For starters Calcal came EARLY!!! That's right, he was EARLY!!!!!! That alone was enough to make Shit and my day because he had to wake extra early to travel from the other end (what's that place called again? Another B place) to Bedok which is like miles and miles and miles away!!! Mindy and I arrived the latest together at 4 mins late with Karin and JR who were like a few cm ahead of us and Paul and Shit who were another few cm ahead of them. So we made our way excitedly and laughing loudly (as we somehow always do) to ECP!!

We didn't really do much over there, just devoured the Prima Deli Chocolate Mint cake our new Cake I/C RongRong bought (the box was left so empty and clean you couldn't even tell there was once a cake in it!!) and went on to do silly things like take gay and les photos though our les photos didn't quite come out. We then started eating all the stuff everyone bought (which was frankly a bit too much we will take note of that in future) including Calvin's Mom's Meesiam, RongRong's pasta, Mindy's brownies, Shit's Maid's Fried rice and seriously there was almost enough for land reclamation if we dumped it into the sea. We went biking and left two lovebirds alone on the beach for two hours and biked till the end of ECP (which was like a whole hour away) and really till the end of our butts. I was (I think some of us were, too) very uncertain in the beginning, having neglected my cycling for a couple of years now, but we could even chat and ride at the same time, so it was fun!! We kept changing places, so everyone chatted heartily with everyone and laughing like when I told them that we looked like we were filming a commercial for sanitary pads ("With ___, I can do anything!"). When we eventually went back to our picnic site we were of course greeted with a sight we will never forget haha!!
But I think the highlight of the day came when we started playing Sacoland, created by Mindy as a new version of Monopoly HAHA! There were no rules and really no game but we still played it anyway and had TONS of fun making up rules on our way!!!!! Like having sudden "miss-one-rounds" at random stops and having "miss-5-rounds" at shit and my statue HAHA!! Poor Paul lost eventually (speaking of which it's the only time I've seen him lose any game) but there were no forfeits because, well, we were too lazy to think of one.
We sat around playing bridge and Stress and some game called Spoon but this all proved too stressful for some of us so the girls excluding Karin went on to play in the water and build sandcastles!!! We built one near the water (it was more like a mound than a sand castle) and put some green seaweedy things on the mound imagining them to be people we don't like and built a moat around it. Of course the moat being made of sand couldn't contain any water so we eventually resorted to stepping on the mound to express of disgust HAHAHA!! CHILDISH.
We then tried to play volleyball (Mindy, Shit, Meat and I) but none of us could catch the ball so we switched to frisbee and none of us could catch the frisbee so we decided to have another gossip session which turned into a serious career, school and scholarship discussion. And then we went back to join the guys for a while talking over a second round of food before we packed up and left.
I guess it's funny how a group of eight really really random people can turn out to be really good friends eventually and now that I think back there really is no one I can't talk to, or to confide in (haha yea even calvin!!) which is just amazing considering how membership was really, really random!! And of course my Other Half will always be my Other Half no matter how many Other Halves we have because I really don't think I can meet another one like you!!!!
Special commendation for Mindy who, we could tell, really tried very hard to be friendly!! I'm sure you will succeed one day, you awkward little genius!
Another of these random post-examination saco outings would DEFINITELY be on my agenda!!
Love you all lots and lots!!
