♥ Thursday, March 13, 2008Oooh yay.I like anzhen's msn nick (or rather, the "personal message"). *pls dont rain on sat pls dont rain on sat pls dont rain on sat* Wahahahahas. If really want rain also bobian. Since it has been raining for the past three days, i think the rain won't last till saturday though. But who knows. LOLS rain we cannot control. We can only do counter measures. At least two umbrellas will be brought. (Lols it's not like never try before grilling in the rain.) BEE-BEE-KILL. (Sorry, lameness acting up again.) Now as the plans are 95% settled, i feel not as stressful. So where did the 5% go? The 5% is mainly haven't decided the meeting time for the pple who carry stuffs over to east coast, and money passover, contact shengxiong n jianhao about their journey. But all prices are done with already. Maybe i should have a FAQ here. (And yup. Indeed asked very often.) "Why no need to pay for the bbq?" So fast forget about the $20 for miss ho's wedding gift already arh? Ya, this bbq is planned using the leftover money. Thus budget is pretty tight. Scrimp here and there. And we managed to plan out the budget just enough, perhaps except lacking several dollars (which is not a big problem). "What time?" LOLS... Eh basically anytime. Cus the pit is standard, booked from 12noon to 8am (the next day). And we're preparing to ton overnight (no tent, so sad, sob sob). But we're assuming people come at 5pm. If you want come earlier it's okie de, just that nobody will be there yet before 3pm. =X "Where?" ECP, Area C, Pit** (pit number is censored to maintain privacy lols, please come ask me yourself if you happen to forget, or go ask any relevant 4e people). The pit is quite near to the underpass leading towards marine parade central (strategic location eh). I'm sure everybody knows how to get to marine parade bah, since it's so near. Lols. "Is miss ho (now mrs tan) coming for the bbq?" Yes, she is informed about it, and she is coming. (LOLS we even chose the pit area super-near to her house! XD) "How many people going?" It's an estimation of twenty-plus people; should be below thirty. Just to outline a bit on the preparations. Today (wednesday) 4 of us went shengsiong (lols budget-est supermart) bought 8 bottles of 1.5L drinks (5 carbonated, 3 non-carbonated), cups, plates, tongs, firstarters, marshmellows, oil brush and serviettes. Subtotal for "ss" is $26.40. On saturday, the manpower mobilised is possibly max-ed at 11 (lols a bit too many o.0). Will be split into two groups for two different routes. Group 1: darryl yin, anzhen, zhili, kimhong, jovin (may not be able to make it). Group 2: darryl chiang, woody, gilson, andy, shengxiong (haven't inform him the details yet), jianhao (haven't inform details, pending and may switch to group 1). Group 1 meets at bedok interc, then take 197 to marine parade. Stuffs taking: all those bought at ss supermarket, a tumbler (zl), an ice box (kh), 2 lighters (zl&kh), a pair of scissors (dy), can opener (dy), 4 tins of canned fruits in syrup (zl&kh), some charcoal (kh), at least 2 umbrellas in case of bad weather (az&kh). Buy ice and fills up the tumbler at marine parade. Prepare the fruit cocktail and set up pit area. (Thankfully darrylyin has halal can opener and scissors, or else we have to buy new ones at our own expense liao.) Group 2 meets 3pm at bedok interc. Taking bus 32 twice. Sent the map and bus route to darrylchiang and gilson already. Ordered the items from bbqwholesale thru phone liao. They are to go to kembagan for collection on that day. Stuffs ordered at bbqwholesale are otah, chicken satay, beef satay, sauce, 3 joint wings, sambal sotong, hotdogs, crabsticks, margarine, forks, spoons, trashbags, charcoal and wiremesh. Subtotal for "bbqws" is $99.55 cus their otah happened to have monthly promotion lols. Not counting in the pit rental ($16), so the total cost is $125.95 (excludes ice). Lols that was a pretty long summary of the plans. I still have some tasks on hand. Friday need to remind darrylchiang about it, cus he scared he will forget (like today, not again XD). Help jingwen get to the location, cus he don't know how to go. Inform shengxiong and jianhao. Arrange a meeting time for group 1. Pass money over to chiang by friday (or saturday morning). Check that group 2 understands their mission (lols mission?). - Crap. Sat morning still need teach drills. - Mm i seriously like to see participation. Seeing people with enthusiasum in this event makes me happy. Happy to have people contributing their time and energy to help out, happy to know that people are coming, etc. Been involved in this class' events for the forth year already, since sec three, somehow made me grow a lot. I just dunno how to say. Of course i don't gain money or what, but i gained experience and a lot of satisfaction. But tired liao arh all these years, lols maybe this is the last time i'm helping to plan, or i need a long rest. Planning kills a lot of brain cells sia. A simple way out, is a gathering whereby people are called to eat at some place together. It's not as stressful, only three things to be done (decide place and time, contact and confirm with number of people coming, book tables). But like that, no more personalization and sense of belonging liao wor. Not completely pointless, but this might lose the meaning. What a wordy post. - Am i too loso? Am i too boring? Am i too cooped up in my own world? Am i too nonsensical? Blahs. Hahs rmb go use lotion. Or else the skin on your hands keep peeling. =) (Pic removed, cus someone don't like it here. LOLS.) Love you. 3:08 am
