.... and more FOCC
Woke up yesterday (monday) and went to FOCC meeting with yuantai, joy, hui lin and one yr 3 senior, yaozong, who helped out in the camp i went to last year.
it was kinda refreshing for yaozong to share his ideas with us, esp from the side of the fright night. from his two years of "fright night planning experience" he could tell us which tactics work, and which don't at all. which was quite ironic cos he had personally never been to a fright night before. =)
managed to finalise day 1 by today - the events are mostly done with, finalised. not that there are alot of events anyway. most of the time was spent discussing and revamping the fright night. manpower slash from 26 originally to 11, which is a great feat.. haha. Must get 11 really daring souls inside then.
hmm.. original plan was to ha
ve about 10 seniors + 6-7 fright night helpers etc = 16 guys.
anyway.
have to brief the OGLs, the PFs, the GMs, the Medics, the logistics stuff.. which means more more proposals to type out.. groannnnn
ha. something interesting happened when i came back from nus. took the bus 97 from nus back. bus 97 is supposed to turn right into town hall road (the vertical orange line) after emerging from the AYE (a tributary of the horizontal veins)
then i think between jurong town hall road and the AYE the bus broke down!!! in the middle of the road (you can see where the bus broke down: it went at the red * on the map) yup right there!!
firstly i tot the bus driver was damn inexperienced and he forgot to turn right into Jurong Town Hall road (and instead carried on to the other branch of the AYE entrance). then, phut. the engine went dead. The TV mobile went off and the whole bus suddenly went quiet. Then he restarted the engine. This went on for about 6-7 times before the frustrated bus driver just gave up and shucks, let the whole crew of passengers off.
Imagine stopping at this confluence point! This area jams like shit during rush hour (5-6pm). There were people coming up from Teban/Pandan area and seeing this monstrous bus blocking all 4 lanes of the road. People who wanted to turn right into Jurong Town Hall road to go back to jurong east also can't do so (there was only this small lane). Buses who wanted to go back into the AYE after dropping people at the cycle and carriage busstop also can't do so.
Well, luckily no one horned their asses off, i guess singaporeans are a quite understanding species. Especially when they know that area is known for jams.
Me? i got off the bus, and because my bus card was negative amount, just walked all the way back to central. quite an ok walk - 1 or 2 kms.
yup.. going to bugis' army market and concourse later to see what the hell we can find for bhbh2 and FN. then try to make it tonight, finalise FN, help yt and joy finalise their stuff so we can call like Day 2 of the camp settled and half of day 3 settled too.
i wanna go out with someone.. haiz
