Gong Xi Fa Cai!

So it's Chinese New Year tomorrow.
And we don't have school up until Wednesday.
'Cause we have two days of CNY holiday (Monday+Tuesday) and one day off from school because of our seniors' Olevel resultsXD Thank you!!!XD

Anyway, as I have said earlier, it's Chinese New Year tomorrow.
I actually find it cool that I get to enjoy this holiday even if I'm not Chinese. 'Cause, in the Philippines, we still have school on Chinese New Year; we don't really consider it as a holiday prolly 'cause we're not Chinese. U-huh, that explained a lot.

Hm. Hm. We had our annual Pinoy Games day yesterday. It's our batch's (batch 9! LBM<3) second Pinoy Games - the first was last year in Sentosa, organised by batch 7. This year's was organised by batch 8 and we had it at the Singapore Botanic Garden. I had loads of fun all thanks to batch 8, who made everything possible (YESSSSXD), and, of course, everyone else who attended and who made the whole event fun and entertaining:D

Uhm. Uhm. We were divided into groups of 5 and 6 (all hail, Green Leaflets! We're not the ultimate losers!!!XD) and then we played lots of games (as a group, yesxO) Uh, first we played the plastic-bag-blowing-and-popping game wherein some members of the group blew and 'protected' (in their own special ways..xD) the plastic bags while some popped the blown plastic bags of the other teams. Guess what? We were able to save 3 plastic bags!!!:D Others were able to keep 16, 21 and I'm not sure about the other team but they can't possibly get lower than us. HAHA.

After that, we made paper planes and we competed on which team can make their planes fly the farthest. And we won 2nd place!! HAAAAAHAAAHAA!XD Next, we played a more life-threatening version of 'three-legged race'. 5/6 people. 4 legs. 5 hands. Catch the drift. HAHA. Bottomline, we were forced to do cartwheels (well, at least one member of each group). No one had any serious injuries, though. YayXD

Hm. Finally, I think, we had the 'obstacle course' (dunno what to call it, saaahryxO). First, we needed to solve three 9x9 Sudoku puzzles in order to move on to the next round (after some time, they've decided to lower it down to 2solved puzzle and eventually to 1). I seriously can't solve Sudoku puzzles. I can only finish the 4x4 one (and yes, there's a 4x4 Sudoku). I'm actually proud of the progress Charmaine and I made, though, with the piece we got ('cause there was 6 of us in a group and 2 members get one puzzle to work on together and they made us two solve a puzzle together. oh, yeah, we are both Sudoku illiteratesXD) Finally, only one group was able to finish their Sudoke puzzle so the nice people that is batch 8 just allowed us to move on even if we're still struggling with ours. The next station was the various-sauce-eating/drinking station. We ate/drank our sauces one by one. When I was still waiting for my turn, I kept on hoping in my mind that mine would not be chili or wasabi or any spicy sauce for that matter because I have very low spiciness tolerance. Well, I do eat mildly spicy laksa and curry for roti prata but those are nothing compared to chili and wasabi of course. Sooo... to my great surprise, I got a greenish-yellow gel-ish sauce. I licked, kept it on my tongue and after a few seconds, on my way back to my team, I felt the burn. It freakin' hurt, srsly. The wasabi essence was diffusing out of my nose. It was excruciatingly painful (well, I might be exxagerating). Good thing Georgine and Hannah were there to ease my pain. LOL!!XD Love you, lezzies!:)

Oh, I think we had the newspaper dance after that game. And then we had Bring Me after. Haha! And I think Bring Me was the last game:D

So, they announced the winner and good heavens, we weren't the ultimate loser! We actually won 3rd place!!! Wuhoo!! Oh, yeah, there were 4 groups:D HAHA. After announcing the rankings and points, we went on to the bidding of prizes. The prizes were named after the parts of a flower - think stamen, pistil, ovule, pollen, etc. Our team bidded the highest and eventually got the last item, ovule - the other teams took two prizes each. HAHAHA. Anyway, it was okay.
Haha. It was entertaining.
I had fun, a lot. :D

It's our batch's turn next year! In addition to Hannah's proposition to go to Malaysia, I say we play board games in Malaysia! HAHAHAHAHA.

So, that's about it. XDDDDD

GONG XI FA CAI!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Done.
