Tennis barbeque
Thursday, June 5, 2008
An overcast Monday morning greeted me at 9am, worrying me about the tennis barbeque that was soon to follow. Su-an, Danny and I met up at 11am just to get the gifts ready, the last minute items and the preparations up. Don't know if I mentioned before, but Su-An lives just across the street so it was pretty convenient.
In the end, we didn't manage to finish up the gifts, so come term reopening then we'd pass it to the leaving batch. Drizzles dampened our spirits, and by the time majority of them were over, it hadn't subsided yet. Luckily just about before 6, it stopped and I got the fire going. It took a while for the charcoals to glow though, pretty certain it was of a poor quality. Then when it finally started glowing, I left for a while and some guy took over. People came over and congratulated him for doing a great job on the fire.
What a turd.

Eastern Lagoon 2, behind me's Khayne, and the girl's Xin Hui, the new captain for the girls team. Didn't take many shots while the day was still out, and the fire was going well by nightfall. The food was catered from BBQ wholesale, some outlet that I noticed frequently when I went over to the new house along Frankel Avenue. Lucky I remembered it, so It was convenient for us to get it, just a walk away.

Every guy got dunked in the pool, something Edward wanted before he left. So might as well enjoy it, we played some wrestling thing. Supported on the back of someone, we'd hafta shoved the opposing person and topple him till he fell. Awfully hilarious.

There was even a sauna in the toilet, and it was so steamy, breathing was a bit hard. We were all wet so we decided to dry off in it. Left to right, clockwise from me, Khayne, Sellick the fit dude who does
capoeira, Jun De from the same class, Vishaal my ex doubles partner, and Edward, the ex captain, really consistent player.

Cheryl, Kristy, Sabrina and I. Cheryl and Sabrina jumped into the pool too. Sabrina knew some cool jumps and flips, does lots of gymnastic sorta stuff, but just picked it up along the way, not lessons.

Danny, guitar toting, and belting out Tisbury Lane. Love that song..

Jolene, who lived about three stops down. She's the tallest girl I know, haha. (I wasn't bending down in this shot, she's really that tall) Most of us live in the south east area, so it was really simple thinking of the location. Kinda like a close knit buch, and we usually see each other on the bus en route to school. I've already met Su An twice on the same bus on weekends..

Nearing the farewell, we lit five or so fire starters and got a really nice fire going in the pit. Black and white here, cuz colour wasn't as nice. I like the fading and the intensity, we stuck a matchstick in and it fizzed loudly at the flammable end..
Here's a really simple poem I wrote during the Pre-U Seminar when I was bored. I dug it up when I was clearing my stuff just now. This is definitely not one of the better few.
I couldn't think of a title, I don't really like titles. I just prefer to ramble off.
Leave comments! :d
My reluctance,Over your absence,Has struck me with great dispondence.My affection, (and)Your attraction,Keeps stealing my attention.I'm mellow as the days fly by,And for you I doubt I'd ever lie,For you, please know, I'd constantly try,So please look me in the eye, don't shy, don't sigh.
