Yesterday's steamboat by RVSC was really great!
Gratz org comm! You guys did great.
Cheers filled the air, as did repeated 'yum-seng's
As did laughters and the rhythmic pieces performed
Praises were aplenty too, as Mr SMS toured the area
Hearts were warmed over a meal together, over the purchase of candles of hope
We must do this again next year okay?
Council's beginning to diversify, beginning to improve its presence and impact
So let's not lose momentum yea?

--------------------------------------------
Yesterday was a shagged-out day, with no breaks till 2pm, 9.5 rounds of running, countless times lugging tables and chairs, high energy scenes and profuse perspiration. But it all paid off, esp for steamboat with the success met. Still remember hauling chairs with terence from hall to SL, struggling with pretty-sharp-edged tables from canteen to SL, experimenting with less painful ways of carrying tables with yi thong (next time, flip it over and carry with the rounded edge down), tidying the area, shifting everything back till late, learning (and embarrassing myself) how to chong1 shui3 with geri and yujun, chatting on 198 with chi kan and yi thong. Tiring as things were, it was a great experience. And it's moments like these that bring us together, that compose our memories of Council.

Today was great. Had EL which was pretty fun but tiring, be it the exercises, the 'impalling', the rehearsals. But it was nice getting to try out different roles and getting things done. Gotta memorise script by Fri and do vocals daily. Sounds pretty interesting to be honest. Need to rly get those lines in and rly get to know the script.

Went to Mr Gan's later to bai nian with excos. His house is nice. And it was rly great gathering in an informal setting. Played Wii Tennis with hester and Wii Boxing with yi thong and chi kan. It was hilarious:

"ta wan dao mei li, wo xiao dao mei li"
- yi thong on video-ing us on Wii Boxing

And xiaohui told us that in China, they dont practise giving oranges, but rather, they give more expensive stuff like alcohol, tonics and such. And we thought oranges were universal, esp in the origins.

Rushed to Adrian's later to bai nian and catch up with icep usa 08 people. It was great getting to meet up after so long and having good laughs and all. Yes, jj and tkl, i owe you guys one! Sorry to turn down last minute, but we will hang on soon ya?

That pretty much sums up today. Left with loads of stuff to do: studying for lecture tests, completing tutorials, completing el tasks, starting projects, attending meetings, symposium preparation, application reviews etc.
