Shout-Out of Thanks, V

June 14, 2007

Acks!! Again, before I forget…

Another big thank you to all MCAC-ers who attended this (probably) last session of Lunch for Semester One, 2007, despite the rather late announcement of location and the over-crowded seating arrangements!! (10 people around two tables at the Den’s walkway. WOW. And yes, TEN!!! Woohoo!!! Who says that no one comes to uni during exam period? hehe)

But, truthfully and from the bottom of my heart, it’s been a great few weeks with all of you. I’ve never been more relieved that I actually initiated a program; this lunch-thingy has been immensely successful for an initial plan to just get some people to socialise and eat together some days!!! I’ve received very positive feedback, I think that you guys like the lunches too (otherwise why else are you still coming?) and I just want to say… AWWWWW… you guys ROCK!!!!

Also, I just love that enthusiasm that I keep seeing whenever we start discussing possible events. I know I wouldn’t ever manage to get that excited about things by myself if energy weren’t spilling all over, like from Jasmine on the Trivia set-ups, Chris and Drue on games, Celine on the website… it’s so inspiring, and such a great change from the usual doldrums of life, that I just can’t help being reinvirogated by you guys ^^

Thank you to all who attended today:

The Go-2 Subcommittee: Chris and Jasmine

The Librarian and her probable Understudy: Bernie and Terence

The Website Specialist-to-be: Celine

Our Loyal Luncheon Supporters: Aaron and Drue

The Guy who is Not on the Forums but Amazingly Finds his Way to Us: G (three cheers!!! Amazing lol <3)

The Guy who Dropped By instead of Studying for Exams: Carlin (whoa)

In other reports (will post things up on the forum as I get the time to do so), as mentioned earlier (as in during lunch), the first two lunches of next sem will be as this semester’s. Meaning, Thursday of Week One, from 11am-2pm, and the Wednesday after that, 12noon-1pm before screenings. Wednesday Week One is Clubs Day and we’ll be doing table duty, so we can scrap that day’s lunch =P (forthcoming replacements… chill!!)

I expect timetables to be handed in by the Friday of Week One… when we hopefully will have this great little get-together that hopefully gets approved by the committee =P

Will update you guys on that sometime during the holidays… meanwhile… happy studying, ace them all, and just do your best in the coming exams!! Also… keep on a watch for the latest MCAC happenings!! Watch out guys… the team is getting cracking!!!

Finally, a late night out of many early ones… AFC tomorrow!

June 14, 2007

As winter approaches, the days grow steadily colder and colder. It disincentives (if there is such a word) people from doing things that they should, like: wake up.

Despite that, and my own inherent predilection for procrastination, I managed to get up reasonably early, and was ready to go to uni by 8:20am. Probably the memory of agreeing to walk to uni with Ronny today morning motivated me a bit. Imagine the others, unable to get into the lounge, because Ronny was waiting for me to wake up. Yikes.

So. Got to the lounge at 8:35am. Had congee and custard buns from Grain Express as my breakfast (Ronny had a red bean bun with one custard one, Noriko had a croissant with Ham and Cheese) then lounged around waiting for people to turn up. Namely, KS, since we’d agreed to do Accounting today morning. Hmmm. Well at least it’s him =P and he’s been cramming Management all before this, so I don’t mind doing this session.

Had a bit more leisure than usual (for this week) since I ‘closed’ the ‘helpdesk’ from 12noon to 5pm… was at MCAC lunch or doing MCAC business most of that time, so my brain wasn’t really closed up and resting. But anyhow. Better than Accounting, yeah?

After MUISS closed for the day, I dropped by the Annexe with Han for some final cramming. Whoa. Didn’t know I still have so much to read up on >.< Damn.

Daryl came over to chat for a while between 9pm and 9:30pm. Talked about his homework schedule a bit (wow, 5000 word essays to write? I have to reconsider doing Honours year o.o) and then went on to more general things.

Somehow we got on the topic of the MUISS/SAM/ASEAN Ski Trip. I think he was asking me whether I was going. I said, ‘no,’ and he went “*gasp* =O …Didn’t Noriko ask you to come along?” Well, of course she did, but… mannn… it’s COLD up there, right?

He tried to persuade me to go for Ski Camp in Week 3, so I went like, “oh no… too cold” “might have to organise a Trivia Night for Week 4″ “MUISS has no more tickets”, etc. (Thank god I had memories of MCAC stuff to do to back me up.) Maintaining that SAM still had two tickets available, he ‘pah-pah’ed away my objections and did the obligatory steamrolling over my protests. Not sure how much of that was said in earnest >.>” Not sure where that is going to lead to either, but anyways I had fun with the chat since it’s been ages since we last talked and… well, he’s a nice guy to have as a conversation partner. Plenty to roll on to ^^

Wasn’t about to brave the cold home =.=” so I took the security bus back to the Flats around 10pm (surprisingly enough, I had a long chat with the driver along the way, LOL) and then had a shower. Found out to my dismay that the maintenance crew haven’t come around. DARN. The water is molten!!! Getting scalded every time, and it’s not going to be fun showering with this pure-hot water tomorrow T.T

Going to continue doing some revisions later, and then… sleep.

The AFC paper is tomorrow… good luck to all! (I know I need it T.T)
