SOLAS WON BEST HOUSE! ZOMG ZOMG UNBELIEVABLE! BEING SECOND BEST IN EVERYTHING REALLY PAID OFF (:

But perhaps, it would be better if I blogged about 01 in a more chronological order.
This year's theme for 01 was Exothermic, aptly named because firstly, we wanted the second intakers to experience the warmth of CJ and form bonds, and secondly, everyone was on a thin line that thinly veiled the boiling tempers and undercurrents of frustrutation.

I was faciling (haha, sorry Binni but habits are hard to break) for IG9 and let me just say that I absolutely adore them(:(:(: Although the guys have an endearingly annoying tendency to bully me (i.e Starch Attack for Facils) and poking fun at me because I can never remember names, it was really really REALLY an enjoyable experience to finally get some well-deserved IG time and getting to know yall. I can proudly attest to the fact that I can match most of your names to your faces despite the fact that I was game-mastering for Ninja Pirates Red Indian Ah Beng PLUS the Lifeline game at ECP on Friday. And to the second intakers in Ig9, I hope that orientation has been successful in breaking down any apprehensive-ness you may have about CJ, cos let me just assure you it's really an awesome place where you get the best out ot both worlds(work and play).

And now, for an unabashed moment to boast about the most wonderful house in the world: SOLAS.
I'm still surreal about the fact that we won, in fact it was totally unexpected because of too many loose ends, but I'm really grateful that the effort we put in (which included being the earliest house to start prep last Sunday) paid off, despite the insecurities and inferiority I felt when I watched the other houses practising their intros late into the night at the quadrangle. But this just goes to show that the underdog always has a fair chance to emerge victorious, and Solas can deeply attest to that. Thank you as well, for the many friendships I've formed with my house members and widenind my measly social circle - I still remember the unstoppable laughter of Cherie and Clare at Mel's place, the dance moves of Samuel that cracked me up ,the hysteria that only Mahna Mahna of the muppets could provide, and not forgetting the giant siew mai we never used. HAHA.

Finale Night was the ultimate madrush for the facils and myself, because I was never anticipating that right after the Solas cheer I'd have to dash for Lemon Tree and then Deal or No Deal consecutively. But through divine intevention or just plain luck, all did run smoothly (except the fact that we ended way after 6pm but then again since when did Finale end on time right?). I never got to see the Solas skit, but based on what I've been hearing, it was a pretty cute one that did not suan the other houses, that I'm glad.

I'd also like to thank my co-facil for being the awesome leader cum house captain that he is, and for looking after the IG during the numerous occasions of my absence (some of them unjustifable such as Saturday). Thank you also, for getting the lollipops. (:

I enjoyed CCA Bazaar as well! HAHA. Never in my life did I think we could pull off a recruitment drive for Baking Society cum Cooking Club, but it just goes to show that one wok, a few aprons, some left over cookies and many many straight-faced idiotic utterances of " Join Baking Society!" And "Real men and women cook!" can really give the illusion of the existence of such a CCA.

As much as I'd like to get a breather now after all the overwhelming course of events, the approaching CTs are scaring the shit out of me, and the fact that I missed out on a total of 9 days of school due to 01 and 02 is really freaking me out. I have so much to catch up on, let's just hope that the two most memorable events of this year won't become my downfall.
Here we go.
