had one of the most memorable nights of my jc life last night...;D

before the outing, i was slightly apprehensive about the fun factor of the entire programme...not to doubt the apollo 07-08 fac comm's abilities, but i was seriously wondering about what programmes you could offer to keep hundreds of people entertained from 5.30pm to 9.00pm...
but despite these doubts, i decided to go and see for myself the "zai-ness" of the people in charge...
ct79 met at city hall mrt cos most of us didnt really know how to go to timbre@substation, i.e. the venue for the apollo fac outing...so we waited till 5 plus (though the meeting time was suppose to be 5, but due to some very punctual ppl...;s) before we set off, most of us dressed up to fit the smart casual theme...haha, u should have seen me tottering in my pathetic heels which would have made a real heels-wearer scream in disgust...but since i wasn't a frequent heel wearer...seriously, i m proud to say i made it thru the night w/o 1)tripping 2)falling 3)spraining my ankle n 4) tripping, falling and spraining my ankle...for those who know me, u'll be proud of me too ;D
so off we went, walking till we reached fort canning tunnel and the turn-off for timbre...the weather in the evening was horribly humid, making us all sweat like pigs...(hmmm, why pigs though? do pigs sweat gallons?) Timbre is a alfresco dining cafe (yes that means it is in the open) so we were all showing sad faces at the heat and vigourously fanning ourselves with whatever bits of paper we had at hand...we went in and handed over our tickets and got cable ties attached to our wrists before we could go grab the seats allocated to us and some refreshing cold drinks...heavenly, i tell u, those drinks ;D the night started off with a band, with the lead singer being from my senior class, so my friends and i were cheering like crazy...sadly to say we were among the few who cheered...not because the band was lousy (cos it rocks!) but cos everyone was busy catching up with friends and getting drinks (seriously, i tell u, the weather was HOT!) the band performed three songs: 1) Misery Business by Paramore, 2)Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5 and 3) Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson (haha, everyone sat up and paid attention when the lead singer sang that super duper high part "anymore" ;D if u have no idea what i m talking about, go listen to Behind These Hazel Eyes...)
Some other students also went up to perform, though sadly not many people were paying attention either...because after eveyone cooled down, it was time to satisfy their other needs...THEIR STOMACHS...the line for the buffet table started building up and people were all busy inspecting the array laid out in front of them...the food was quite good, though i didnt really bother queuing up again for a second round...the desert though, was fantastic...heavenly chocolate mousse... a fav for a chocoholic for me ;D
after stomachs were roughly filled, it was time for picture taking...all the snazzy cams cams of various designs and make were flashed out and everyone turned into models for the night...everyone started posing with people they knew, catching a shot here, throwing a smile there...while the two emcees, i.e. the two apollo fac heads, Xuanyi and Ben Poh were trying to grab people's attention to the performers on stage...then it was the intro for the nominees of "Fac Prince and Fac Princess"...they were made to intro themselves, and play several games to entertain the crowd...
as the night passed people became "higher" and laughter filled the air...it was then i saw how u actually made an outing like this successful...u bring friends together...every one were friends yesterday night...smile of enjoyment were flashed out faster than a shopaholic's credit card...it was truely heartwarming...we didnt need spirits to get us all hyped up...i, for one, was drunk on the spirit of the night...
when it was time for us to go, we were seriously reluctant...if we leave, when can we come together like this again? but we had to...many of us lingered outside the place, talking and chatting, hoping just to stay a moment longer...
my friends, the cow, the chicken and the ant, and me, the moon, walked off to a little incline with a tree, and sat down there...just talking and looking up at the velvet night sky...it was a moment of bonding and further discovery...i felt closer with them, there and then, we forged a stronger bond of friendship...we waved and smiled at strangers, wishing them a good night, and getting smiles and waves in return...Singapore is truely a loving place and it is where my heart lies...

the night was brilliantly successful, thanks to the hard work and preparation of the 07-08 apollo fac comm...its their last evening and thus i must say, its a great way to go off with a bang ;D and to those people who went up on stage to perform, i salute u for ur guts! n applaud u for ur talents ;D

apollo peeps, i love u guys ;D
