CIP

Hi all,

The CIP was really fun.

We went to Tahman Jurong !. I couldn't really hide my "sadness' cause I screwed up pretty badly for the ndp.

Anyway, here were our respective I/Cs for the individual blocks:

1) Ling - 154
2) Cheng Yao - 157
3) CJ - 156
4) Darrel - 155
5) Oh (including me) - 158

Oh's block, 158, was the ultimate BIGGEST and MOST NUMBER OF UNITS block.

But Ling and Darrel finished around the same time, followed by Oh (surprise, surprise), CJ and finally Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao's group was initially suffering from really really slow progress syndrome (I suspect its because the "Yi Pin and Small Boy" duo were unduly obsessed with POKEMON. MUHAHAHAHAHA.)

Our group, consisting of Oh, Adrian, Poh, Xu Yi and ME, with much help from our advisor, Kang Ming, made really good progress. More than 50% of the households willingly contributed huge stacks of magazines and newspapers. Our collection nearly filled the entire corner. Someone threw a stack of newspapers/magazines from above while we were stacking everything up. I know that none of us was the culprit. Must be one of the residents there.

Anyway, Poh found a HUGE stack of FHM magazines. Wewere contemplating about using them for STRICTLY COMMERCIAL purposes (mass distribution to a concentrated population), but decided that our plans may be inadequate. ;D

i had to run around the blocks to check the progress of the CMC members, which was quite fun and healthy, though I got a little lost in the process.

Immediately after the collection, we moved all the paper and stuff to block 157 /156 (I forgot). That was terribly tiring. There was a lot of perspiration involved here. The magazines were especially heavy (approx.10kg per stack). Adrian displayed his exceptional prowess by carrying a stack of newspapers which piled up to more than half his height.

Tha next step was to throw EVERY piece of paper into this colossal container which I believed was very smelly. Phew. This was the absolute 'funnest' part. We liked to thrust the newspapers and magazines sky-high , though a lot of them missed. In the end, there was more picking up of papers from the ground than throwing. In the process, I discovered a Malay woman who was a fan of Man United (her car had a Man U sticker on it) That was terrific.

Finally, our well-earned break. We spent loads of time at the nearby coffee shop, where I had my Hainanese chicken rice, which was not as nice and sumptuous as the one I had at the Tiong Bahru Food Centre. That one was absolutely AMBROSIA.A lot of us had fun at the public playground. A few of us did chin-ups on the supposed monkey-bars (Jinyang managed one with the 'cycling in the air' method.) Weiyang, CJ, and etc. were photographing for the CREATIVE CHINESE ESSAY we were supposed to complete over the weekends.

After that, we went home.

Maybe the cmc can organize another round of cip after the EOYs. Or maybe a trip to sentosa or somethins.



ZZZZ......
