OCS Delta Wing Social NIght 2007

22nd June was OCS Delta Wing Social Night 2007. Ordinarily that would have absolutely nothing to do with me, but I was CalCal's hot date that night, so yep, The Pines it was for me. And NO I DID NOT VOLUNTEER MYSELF as his date OMG I have no idea why this idiotic rumour got out. I didn't quite want to wear a gown, so I wore this suit thing. That was seriously a wrong idea in retrospect but my hot date didn't mind so oh never mind.

We met up at around 6pm at Orchard MRT and took a little walk around Orchard for like 15 minutes before walking to the busstop. And on the way we met my ex-teacher and his ex-teacher who are now both currently teaching at MGS and were out together. I must say those five minutes were the awkwardest moments in my life (and probably Cal's too) as we stood listening to Cal's teacher whom I actually know as well praise him about his being a genius and his 1.0 msg etc etc. And when the topic went on to "are you guys going out" I could tell that droplets of sweat were forming on Cal's forehead so we hurriedly said NO! and ended the conversation.

So then we took a bus 190 to The Pines and where because you know I am so popular we were stopped several times by groups of people like Shit and Mindy and her friend Yawen mid-way. My Half, of course, being the nosy parker like she is had to crash Social Night, even though she was in shorts and some embarrassing teeshirt. Then on the way up we met The Rong and his date Jamie who looked like some model with visible cleavage for once AHAHA and her blue-black hair. So we chatted for a while and finally made our way to our destination where we met Jiadi and made a lot of noise screaming and chattering. Eventually we took a few council photos with all the 32nd people who were present and Shit left in embarrassment even though Calcal offered to find her a date cos there were a couple of guys who turned up alone.

Before dinner was another period of awkwardness. Like Cal would introduce a friend or buddy and his date and we would be like hello, hello and left with nothing to say. And can you imagine my utter relief when I met NG MEIXI who was there with her darling Joshua and we screamed till the ceiling almost collapsed as we always do because we'd finally found Family. And we found 2 other MGS girls Jean Ong and Debo Ng who were both with their boyfriends obviously and took an MG photo while reciting the MGS motto To Master To Grow To Serve oh my goodness can you believe how much we love our school.

And between then till after dinner CalCal was like telling me who's going to Harvard, who's going to Stanford, who got some scholarship to go do law at Oxford etc etc. Seriously, if the guy wasn't outstanding (by which I mean he was a mere top scorer at A Levels) then his date probably is, because these guys are the elite, apparently. And do I have to mention how probably 60 or 70% of the people were from RJ. I suppose we then make a very ordinary pair since he's ONLY going to med school and I'm only going to Brown -.-

We saw a couple of, hmm, interesting pairs too which I am sure will arouse a lot of gossip and attention haha!

After dinner, games and award presentations started. I seriously tried my best to pay attention so Calcal wouldn't feel bad about me feeling bored but I saw him yawning so I gave up too. They had all sort of army related games like who can change their clothes the fastest, or who can kiwi (polish) their boots the fastest. But I guess the Army Jargon 101 lesson was pretty interesting, and their videos were great!! Even though all the guys were in green camouflage and you couldn't really tell who was who.

So then the night ended with some photo taking obviously and we went home in a cab. I could tell Calcal was in high spirits because every time he's reminded of some shitty army moment he'd look so triumphant because he's allowed to defer his NS for his studies. But well the guys look so happy together in their buddy-buddy world that I'm sure they'll miss each other.
