Heh, prefects' retreat in Malacca for the last 3 days. 3 days of absolute fun!

So, a blow-by-blow account

Popped into school at 7, apparently over-dressed. I was wearing board tshirt and pe shorts and shoes, while everybody else was in shorts and sandals... Found out that I was rooming with Mitchell, Joel and chee, at least for the first night. Took about 4 hours to reach Malacca by bus, everybody was snatching my passport to take a look at the 'interesting bit'. On the bus, listened to mp3, except that my left headphone blew out halfway, lent it to binggy later. Played cards and read some calculus to =P. We stopped over at some megahypersupermarket on the way, ate too much lunch (like I was to do for the next 3 days), and also bought some 'survival stuff' - cup noodles and milo powder. Apparently the sec 3s went mad and bought half the junk food section... I was saving money for the 'shopping' at the end of the trip (brought RM50 total).

At the hotel... A nice resort on the beach, crushed (and not) cockroaches on the floors, crushed (and not) mosquitoes and flies on the walls, but our room was rather nice =D One double bed for mitchell and joel, the two twin beds for chee and I. We had some of binggy's games at the beach, 'sand scrabble' which basically consisted of searching for letters and making words, and 'captain's fruit', which is self-explanatory. Played a bit of waterpolo later, before eating too much for dinner again. After that played cards in juanhe's room until midnight, before finally sleeping at 1 (mr lim's curfew)

The next day, woke at 7.30, ate too much breakfast again, then more of mr lim's 'sessions' on leadership. We also had department meetings (The CD) - we had this crazy idea of transmitting live converage of matches to be shown on canteen TV, along with live commentary, as well as daily newsletters, a whole revamped ripb.org. Ate too much for lunch again, before playing more waterpolo =D. Alvin Yong is insane - he kept asking to be thrown by lincoln (judoka). Auyong followed suit. Again, ate too much for dinner.

The night session was the most fun - a scavenger hunt for various items (including lincoln's leg hair) =D, before making a skit around those items. Ours was this lame one about Vivek and the rock star... Anwaar acted as a gay caller to a radio station with a fetish for leg hair... Converted David Lu's room into a gaming den, played cards, mahjong and risk until 3am. Learned how to play strip poker and mahjong last night =D. (When I was playing bluff, I was down to my last card, which I put down to 'win'. Then they asked me what card it was, and I mistakenly told them the wrong number... had to take the whole pile back... But I still won in the end).

Some die-hards slept at 12, to wake up at 4am to continue playing... I think Binggy was the only fellow to sleep a decent number of hours. I slept in the gaming den, in the same bed as hwee leong and royce yap (david lu joined us for a while) =D.

Next day, ate too much for breakfast, before going to another megahypersuperdepartment store, which was, sadly, far lacking. Had one of those 'chicken rice balls' for lunch, not that fantastic... On the bus, watched a bit of a Jackie Chan movie in original cantonese, before falling asleep. Reached Singapore at 5-something...

I think I have received inspiration from the hotel's surroundings to make a BFV map - going to learn battlecraft 42. Already submitted application to join EoD mod team...

Back to reality now...
