100th published post

Congratulations!
We've reached
100
published posts!!!

Celebrating diversity: cheerleaders, muggers, absconders and murderers.

Today was the day - the day when the four great warring nations convened at the hallowed terraces in Hwachonginstitutionhighschoolsectionland to demonstrate their tribal solidarity.
Charging assault.




Our class. Before 8:20am.

Zhi Hui making weird gesticulations.
Yongquan. Basking in the delightful sound of shaken macaroni.
Studious Langston studying the mathematics of bridge...

Once CSM had ended (around 10:20am), all that was left of 6K citizens: Yongquan, Jianhua, myself, Langston, Zhi Hui and Yi Sheng. It was presumed that the rest were missing in action...

...however...

to the astonishment of the patriots that had remained, the remainder of the class suddenly appeared at the CT bench from their hiding! Gasp! At least knowledge of their survival brought us relief.

And to celebrate and applaud those that stayed through the entire event, an inviting banquet was prepared! (What could be more satisfying than pizzas?)

After a hearty lunch of sumptuous savoury toasty pizzas...
...we proceeded with a good-natured game of backstabbing, falsifications, deceit, ruthlessness, killing and murder.
Ah! The mortal peasants realise that there are some among them who simply cannot be trusted...after a series of shocking murders of the most brutal nature (triple weird lightning strikes, bombs and falling branches), the villagers engaged in an ensuing, heated debate to track down the perpetrator...
Is this witchcraft we see? Strange twisting polyhedra and an exhibition of Wei Quan's awesome levitation powers? (look at Yi Sheng's drumstick)
There was extensive news coverage of the serial murders; paparazzi scramble for a piece of the journalistic pie.
Who did it?

Happy May Day mayday.

Free cone day. Comes with a free glob of ice cream.

The long-awaited photos of today's escapade to United Square, on a quest to procure the elixir of life: the fabled FREE ICE-CREAM CONE...

And no easy journey it was - after a 40-minute journey on bus and by foot, the troupe eventually reached their destination. Oh joy it was! But, this jubilation was not long-lived...

...so near...
...and yet...
...so...
...so...
...so... ...so...
...so...
...far.
Standing amidst hordes of weary, debilitated students (weak from hunger; dehydrated from uncontrolled salivation), the enticing array of palatable chilled delicacies at the Ben and Jerry's kiosk a mere 10 metres away was too much to bear!
Succumbing to the temptation to lick luscious glucose off frozen diary products, Joel accompanied the Supreme Dictator on a perilous mission to secure the sugary loot. (Or was it the other way around?)

At a fee of $4.90, palatal gratification came at a price...
Upon return, Joel's succesful acquirement of the bounty draws a pleading gaze from Wei Zhong:
The two gastronomical ambassadors of 6K:
And once the cone had been promptly devoured, Joel resumes with automatic immediacy to his mugging. ...of all subjects, alas, Old English.
Don't question the great master of the cube.
Our faithfully exuberant welfare rep:

Yi Sheng...fixated on some distant object, longing for the moment when he may finally leave this (insert adjective) queue...
At this point, everyone began looking downcast and suicidal. Hmm...the balcony was conveniently right next to them...
While they are not absorbed in deep contemplation of the next revolutionary theorem, it is a favourite pastime of intellectual geniuses to enjoy tinkering with the most seemingly mundane objects around us. Such is demonstrated below:



After a nerve-wrecking 40.37 minutes, we could finally grasp our glorious cones in pure euphoria!

Cheers to effectively killing 40mins of our day, 20 minutes less than 7B did.
Ta ha.



While Yi Sheng began to doze off as a result of sheer exhaustion from queueing, Weizhong was tackling his cone in the most curious manner...




Thanks to Ben and Jerry's. A toast to ultimate decadence.
Bon appetit.
