NJC invitational 2008

And so, yesterday marked the end of NJC invitational 2008! It went on pretty smoothly. Didn't stay for the briefing, cos I realised that my suspected diarrhoea was REAL after my guitar class. But according to what I know, it was good! :D

I was supposed to meet with my group at 10am at Bukit Gombak MRT. Lol, I left the house rather late... and spent the journey there smsing Nicole and deciding with her whether she should meet at CDANS or the MRT station, since she has a straight bus there. In any case, she went to the MRT instead, and Nicholas (the top student) and Henry were there too. And it was already 10 o'clock!! ARGH THE REMAINING TWO ARCHERS WERE LATE.
....until later! I see a wet and dripping Hiok Yang running towards us! Lol, he really ran in the rain man. I mean, it's okay that you're late (i'm not a tiger I won't bite), but he didn't need to runnnn right! Hahahaha but at least he brought extra clothes...

The worse was WEIJIAN. At 10 o'clock when I asked where he was, he said: coming coming. So I assumed he was already at Bukit Batok or something... then later, 15 minutes later! I called him again to DEMAND where he was

XR: oi 你到底来了没有啊？
Weijian: okok, 到了到了
XR: 刚才到现在也到！十分钟前你在哪里？
Weijian: yishun.

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.

He was really at Bukit Batok at the time I called though, so its not so bad.

We met Desiree while we were waiting too! Lol, she was ranting about how she was on the MRT from 9.15am onwards, and I told her that I was at home at 9.15 LOL. But Nicole was the best, she left her house at 8.50. Kiasu girl la she.

Anyway, our job scope for food and welfare was pretty slack: simply getting 14 packets of chicken rice, getting the rest of the packet food from Guilin Restaurant downstairs, and separating them in to their respective orders. Getting 14 packs of chicken rice was easy enough. And at least we fully utilised our manpower (4 men and two women) for the getting of food from Guilin. Separating the food was a little messy though, but at least each team got their food. Eww some of the food (like the gan chao guo tiao) was super oily la, and the styrofoam packs were so flimsy; some of the food came out!!! Thankfully the food was quite good.. according to the people. And the buffet was wiped CLEAN by the shooters too! YAYYY, I felt so accomplished when I saw the empty plates and trays, ( even if the fruit punch cooler was seriously EMPTY when i wanted to get a drink ).

Initially, I had some problems with accounts and was quite worried, but luckily Nicole was there to help me out! :D Thanks Nicole!

After settling the accounts, Nicole, Shermain and I went to get the flowers for the VIPs. By that time, I was feeling rather nauseous and dizzy. Maybe its cos of the diarrhoea, or me thinking too much when I was calculating accounts. At least we got the flowers. Lol, it was rather funny how we decided on the choice.

....DAISY DAISY DAISY.

roflmaooooo.

nicole and I finally ate our nasilemak when we finished settling everything. uggghhhh, i didn't finish my nasi lemak since I was feeling kinda sick already. And thanks to 王先生 from guilin who gave us a free half bottle of coke! :D:D:D I really owe him a lot for the success in food catering for IS. He gave us eight dishes for buffet for $8/person. And gave us fried rice for 80 people when it was supposed to be for 50! The packeted food was considered quite a bargain, given the quality, serving, price and punctuality.(although i could hear some complaints.. T___T don't care la, be happy that it came on time okay.) Better than getting kopitiam chicken rice that has more bones than chicken. Although I didn't see exactly what we got for refreshments, I think its quite okay too, they gave us a price of $3/person. So, THANKYOU WANG XIAN SHENG!!!! NEXT TIME WE BETTER GO TO THEM WHEN WE NEED CATERING FOR IS. Must look for wang xian sheng okay, not the other manager, because he looks like he has a chuasai face.

There, that's all. Left CDANs at 4+, with Nicholas, for guitar class. And I realised that Nicholas was THAT guy from National Team, who shot during Archery Invitational 2007! The guy whom I was scoring for!! (or in other words, the guy who was BULLYING that poor guy from Indonesia with their cheers and wolf whistles) :OOOOO. What a surprise! I didn't realise it until then. Haha, Singapore is certainly small.
