First among equals

Today, a whole group of us went down to Eric's place to say a final goodbye to him before he went to enlist. (FYI, he'll be going in at 0800hrs on the 11th of January).

So anyway, it didn't go off to too well a start. See, we were supposed to meet at 8pm at Bukit Batok station, and then supposed to reach Eric's place at 8.30. However, some of us were late, one of us was extremely late, and people whom we expected to be late actually arrived much earlier than us. This was due partially to (i) some people's lateness, (ii) the fiasco at the photo printing booth, and (iii) the un-appearance of a serviceable 852 for at least 20 minutes.

So anyway, the plan to 'supplies!' Eric was sprung roughly around 9.25 pm. And it was promptly screwed up by yours truly, who let slip the fact that he wasn't the only person around. But on to the events.

So what happened was that Eric came down to bring us up to his place. And we all cleverly decided to squeeze into one lift, since we are such sticklers for team spirit and cg bonding and all that. After we all managed to fit ourselves into one lift, Zoey noticed something peculiar about the lift. That was also about the same time that the lift encountered a problem.

Essentially, we thought we damaged the lift. So we quickly ran into another lift and went up to his place. And we kinda chilled out there for a while. And ate some donuts that Sherrie had bought for the occasion. Though not everyone was quite so hungry at that point of time.

Finally, after the eating had more or less been settled, Swee Boon turned up. According to him, he had gone the wrong way about, and so had ended up walking one big round just to get to Eric's block. His arrival allowed us to take as complete a CG picture as we could take. It wasn't like complete lah, because Jie wasn't with us, but well.


Of course, there were many other pictures, but I feel sleepy, and I shall not post very many because I have to go to school tmr. And I'm sleepy.

Oh and on a final note, when we left, we saw that the lift we had spoilt was not spoilt! (This is utterly random, and most strange, but the spell check tells me spoilt is a wrong spelling. I always thought spoilt was the past tense of spoil). It was working again; needless to say, we didn't trust it, and took the other lifts down.

Ok. Bye Eric!
