Christmas Party 2008!

2008-12-17T01:51:00.001+08:00

Hello OAC!

Sorry this's only 3 days before the event, it was hard to confirm attendance =/

Thus far, we have 17 Confirmees, 5 Unreachables, and 8 ponners (mostly overseas).

okay here're the details, in brief:

Date: 19 Dec 2008
Time: 1700 - late
Place: Terence's house, 54 Joon Hiang Road S(548345). see attached document!
Meeting Point: Serangoon MRT, 1645 hours
Cost: $8 per person, excluding Secret Santa (gift exchange) cost

Dinner: Pizza! (from Rite's Pizza), with other food provided by Terence's family (drinks, snacks, extra staple food (should be beehoon), fruits)
it'd be nice if some of you could bring chips or drinks too!

Programme outline: games, dinner, more games, Secret Santa + Phototaking, movie, and anything and anywhere you guys want to do or go after that =)

Theme: RED, AND GREEN. DONT PANGSEH!
Basically, everyone must be wearing/having something red, as well as something green. use your creativity! (hair, bangles, socks, tops, fingernails, etc)
To ensure non-pangsehing, whoever does not have both red and green on them will be the last to eat dinner =P

Secret Santa: basically, gift exchange! the method it's done in will be explained on friday itself.
All you gotta do, is get a gift that costs $2-$3, no more or no less. The gift should be meaningful, humourous, or interesting. (daiso has many choices at $2!)

yup i'm done =)
alright see everyone on friday!

2008-07-25T23:13:00.003+08:00

HI EVERYONE! :)

Check this out! :D

Basically there'll be a gathering for the OACians from the past & present batches! :D It'll be really cool seeing all the "dinosaurs" (they call themselves that). The stuff below is written by one of the "dinosaurs", but the injections in italics are by me :D

Please inform me by Saturday night if you'll be there! I need to reply to the dinosaur :) Many thanks :)

--

Date: 3 August 2008, Sunday
Time: 12pm - 5pm
Venue: 25A Hillview Avenue, Glendale Park Function Room
Cost: S$10 per person
Purpose: For past and present batches of NJ OACians to interact and get to know each other

- Do note that this will be lunch! Not dinner.
- For the convenience of everyone, it is decided to order catered food which explains the cost involved.
- This will be a gathering which aims to bring together past & present batches of OACians to promote interaction, & the bringing of "significant others" is strongly encouraged (baby dinos included).
(HAHAHA OAC '07-'08, you guys can bring your "significant others" too! LOL. Don't scare us with any baby dinos tho.)
- It will be a good time for the super seniors to learn about present developments of the club, & for the newly-elected exco to learn from the seniors. I am quite certain a lot of skills have been lost along the way.

Love, Jessieeee

terence: hey kahhan you know, you being the vice-pres and the only guy... hmm how do i say this... argh.. umm never mind, ok you close your eyes

kahhan: hmm okayyy... [closes eyes]

terence: you empty your pockets first... (kahhan opens eyes and holds his wallet, i go up and hold it) hmm i think you gotta take off your glasses too..

jessie(, or was it her?... someone) aiya no need la...

me: hmm hmm better take off! (so kahhan hands over his glasses too)

all 4 guy senior excos crowd round him.

kahhan (closed eyes): hmm i feel like i'm doing a trustfall

terence: ya ya! it's a trustfall ok so now you fall.

happenings..

2008-07-16T21:58:00.003+08:00

hellohello! nothing much has been happening since stong so here's an update! hmm there was ISAC, pretty nice =) hmm what happened...

ooh the sembawang registration people, we miraculously appeared at the hot springs faster than all the participants! and! most fun of all, we got to see all the participants chionging and running along the road wah... super funny mans. yeps then participants had to cook an egg/a leg at the hot springs before heading off to 2 different places. bedok, from what i heard, they liked the goggles! haha yup and some participants enjoyed their swimming part. then kayaking, haha they had to walk a 30 min stretch of a strange road along an ulu part of singapore. the station masters seemed to have fun though, they were playing their PSP! then there was the actual kayaking... thanks to char and ben hong for staying out in the water the whole morning/afternoon! then the cycling people who very kindly donated the leftover newater to some place nearby... =) then.. there were the two people stationed along the cycling route, so sorry you both had such a dull job that you stared at one same bird the whole day! vertical marathon, ah~ sorry too that the stairs were so boring and sian-ifying.. then botanic gardens where we had a pseudo picnic. to the abseiling ppl, you guys did a wonderful job of getting everything ready despite the shortage of manpower!

anyway, thank you to all the oacians who helped out spontaneously, cos there were circumstances that were not mentioned in the proposal or your designated tasks yet you went all out to do it! like the kayaking people who went to cycle the remaining leftover bikes. and thank you once again for the times you chionged to your next station because the estimated time the participants arrived ended too late (especially to those who were supposed to help out at school as your last station), thank you!

stong =)

2008-01-20T18:57:00.000+08:00

hello!

OAC CNY dinner will be held on the 2nd feb 2008, saturday. its an annual thing, so expect to see our seniors and some much older superseniors as well!

Place to be confirmed, its normally at the marina bay steamboat, but that place is closed now. if you've any ideas, post on the tagboard! the place should hold about 50 of us, and the price should be $10-$15. gogo post!

but most importantly, reserve the date so you can make it. it'll be fun, see you there!

2008-01-12T17:09:00.001+08:00

hi people!

been long since i've blogged here.

first and foremost: ONE-STAR KAYAKING COURSE

apparently last wednesday i told yall that its on the 23rd feb. but when i called the coach up, he told me that it is unadvisable for us to go for this course as its open to the public as well. so he suggested that we book it as a CCA and the available date he can make it is...

8th to 9th march 2008

in this way, i dont have to spilt OAC into 2, like what happened to rock climbing course, and we can all clear it on these 2 days!

but

the pre-requisite is that it requires all members to know how to swim, depsite the use of life-jackets. i'll elaborate on this more when i see yall.

next

National Vertical Marathon (NVM 2008)

Date: 24th Feb 2008 (yes it doesnt clash with kayaking course anymore)
Venue: Repbulic Plaza
Task: Just climb 1380 steps

http://www.ntusportsclub.com/nvm2008/webpages/home.html

form teams now! 2 female+2male+1 other girl/guy

i'll ask ur respond very soon!

enjoy ur weekend. (:

Thanks a lot guys.

read kaiting's post below if you haven't done so already!

2007-11-07T22:39:00.000+08:00

a short interjection about the leadership camp packing:

alright, some minor clarifications to the camp pack list. i got feedback that people intepreted the list as bringing along 1 set of pt kit per day in addition to the one you already reported in, which is wrong! so, report each day in PT kit, and since there are two days of camp, you'll only need 2 PT kits, the ones that you report in. don't need to bring along extra clothes unless you think you need to.

and for the long sleeved shirt on day 1 of the camp, please bring along an old or unwanted long sleeved shirt. it'll be used for paintball, so expect to get it dirty and painted. there will be vests provided so the only exposed areas are your arms, hence the long sleeved shirts.

lastly, bring along $15 as payment for the camp. hand it in on the first day of the camp, 12th november.

SENIORS' FAREWELL!

2007-11-06T18:49:00.000+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE! :D

if you are wondering whther there's still an OAC (senior plus junior) outing from 30 nov to 1 dec, YES THERE IS! and there is an official change in plans.

i just snail mailed out invitation cards to all our OAC seniors to show them our support for their war on the A levels battlefield, and also to invite them for the OAC outing!

here goes the plan...
meeting time: 12.30 pm, 30 nov
venue: harbourfront mrt
* lunch is not yet settled, but we have three weeks to plan! :D

and so.. we shall play games (to be planned) and have fun all the way until evening, and after everyone had finished bathing, we can go VIVO for dinner! :D

after dinner, we'll go watch a night movie, at around 8+ or 9+, and the movie will end at 11+ or so, and for the night, WE ARE STAYING OVER AT VIVO!!!!

WOOHOO! YES, your eyes didn't read the wrong thing.
according to our reliable experienced rachel, the mall is not closed at night, and there's this big big playground space outside vivo whereby we can rest for the night (on groundsheets of course), and if you dowan to sleep, you can go walk around and enjoy the sea view! (:

if it rains, its okay! we can just shift inside vivo. its big, its empty at night! ITS COOL MAN!
HAHA!

around 26th nov to 28th nov, there may be a "recee" overnight at VIVO, so those who are interested to go for the recee, keep your eyes peeled! :D

yeah man! thats the rough details.

we will be planning this as one OAC! but i know some of you won't even be there on that day, so those planning will only be those who are going.

after the compilation of number of juniors and seniors going is done, those going will be split into small little committees:
(tentatively)
1. food comm (for lunch and afternoon tea~)
2. games comm (planning of 4-5 games for the afternoon)
3. logistics comm (to prepare anything required)

when the number of people is confirmed, you will be informed about which committee you are in by the excos! :D this is a really informal outing, and the comms are to ensure that OAC stays and unite as one throughout the whole outing, with no laggy moments or dunno what to do periods of time! (:
(i shall say this in advance: i estimate that approximately 20 seniors will go.)

yepyep!
for those who helped in making the invitation cards today, a BIG BIG THANK YOU! (:

okay, gogogogogo get ready for leadership camp! :D
have fun everyone!

Kai Ting!

memories

2007-10-26T21:58:00.000+08:00

hello!!! this is my very first time posting! hahaha anyway, today's the official last day of school so i thought i'd bring you guys back to what we all did together through this year (: ... remember, i sent out an email asking you all to tell me which was your most memorable experience in oac? well, i had a wonderful time reading all your replies and wanted to share it. hee hope you don't mind! =)

memorable experiences!

lizhen : bwm!pushups>

jillian: kite flyingbecause the whole activity was really fun and we get to bond!! :Dthe steamboat dinner was also memorabledawn: Night cycling! It was fun cycling at late night along the road, with the wind blowing on our faces and trying to keep awake! AHHH so fun! =D

meiyan: Hiezzz, Mmm... Malaysia overseas trip... got to cycle to the beach, eat seafood dinner, bond through playing and cycling =P Most importantly, it was fun and accomplishing... =)

waikit: i love the night hike. cause that was one of the very first time i got to engage with seniors. hahas.

cuilin: hmm...i'll have to think about it.. haha.due to my frequent absence from school, there were not too many OAC activities which i attended...which is quite unfortunate for me... BUT,i think that the most memorable activity would be the overseas cycling trip, although not everyone attended that... It was a first-time experience for me,cycling in those parts with those steep slopes which were really a test of ur physical condition! Moreover, the flooding of the hotel was totally memorable heh heh.though not memorable in a nice sense,but still unforgettable yea.haha. hmm i guess that's it ba.. the next most memorable would be the kite-flying trip, and the steamboat after that!haha. wells, i was not in a very gd mood that day, and the trip really made me happier =) n the steamboat worked magic!it really felt gd to be surrounded by friends...the whole thing jus brightened my day and i didn't regret joining u guys for the steamboat dinner =)

suyi: umm. most memorable? i think NDC tower building! not being biased or anything, but building a structure is really fulfilling, especially when u get to climb to the top and look down below!(:got to know a few ppl better too while tying!

benedict: haha ok. For me it was the solo night of BWM camp. cos i think it really put our skills to the test and was not a bad simulation of what it would be like if we were really lost alone in some strange place. maybe it could be extended to sth like survival? where we only meet for activities? thanks

shuning: hmm... most memorable experience? i think for me it isnight hike... never thought that i could walk for solong and so far!!! plus it was a good time bondingwith the other oacians. :) and it is afterall thefirst major event this year for oac. :)))

claire: my most memorable experience in oac was the the oac orientation camp at the start of the year. coz it made me realise how fun oac could be and i made many new and great friends.! The activities were way too cool...

kevin: The night walk during the backwoods camp was memorable. This was because seniors tried to scare us, only with me spoiling the atmosphere by telling lame jokes. Mwahahah

ben gan: My most memorable OAC experience would definitely have to be the intra school night hike in April. (i think it was april...) This is because it was one incident when i felt the camaraderie and excellent group dynamics that we the members of OAC have. We walked through the reservoir rainforest for a few hours and then went on an urban hike down to Bukit Panjang. Though many of us were extremely tired after that night, playing the various games at different stations and passing under the silence of the lush jungle which was stirred only by the insects and our laughter made it one of the most memorable experience i had from OAC.

charmaine: the camaderie. no particular experience

mervyn: the most memorable OAC experience for me this year was the BWM camp. That's because it was fun and one of the few times everyone really got together and go through thick and thin. That's why it was the first to come up in my mind when i read your email.

me!: let the pictures speak for themselves! =)

weekly oac dinners! haha more ppl must join kay!

wednesday activities!

and working together!

man... it's been one year already! next year will pass as fast i guess... well! let's make the most of it and make it even more memorable and wonderful!

Adult First Aid Course

2007-10-22T16:38:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone, I'm doing this post because I was in the NJOAC0708 yahoo groups when I realized, we have a great number of 12 members in the group. I'm hoping that more people visit the OAC blog.

This is a direct copy from what I posted up on the groups:

Hi OAC,

I have tried hard and negotiated what I could, and this almost completely really really finalised:

Adult First Aid Course will be held for ALL OACians (with exceptions) from 14th to 16th November. The price will be $80 per person, and you can pay by Edusave, if not by cash. I have personally contacted almost all of you, and will be uploading the list of people who I am sending down for the course. This course will be held at St Johns HQ at Beach Road. Further information will be provided soon.

I will also upload the list of people who are excused from this course, namely those who already have the cert, and those who are unable to attend for other reasons. For the latter group of people (there's quite a number), I will organise another Adult First Aid Course, likely to be held next year January.

Just to make sure this is clear, I'll repeat this: First Aid Course is NO LONGER from 9th to 11th November, it is now from 14th to 16th November, Wednesday to Friday. There is no longer a Basic First Aid Course. Please do not get confused. As most of us are over the age of 16, we are to attend the Adult First Aid Course.

Thanks guys.

Ok, now that this message has been posted on this blog AS WELL AS the yahoo groups, I hope at least 95% of this CCA will know about this update.

Thanks.

Mad Jacks

2007-10-14T00:12:00.000+08:00

hello oac!
there is no formal wednesday activity this wednesday the 17th of October, but we'll be having dinner!
it'll be at mad jacks, near coro, which is near school so no one has to go exceedingly far to get home from dinner place =)

meet there at 5.30pm! see map below if you don't know how to get there -.-

directions:
take any bus that'd you'd take to coro, cross the bridge to coro, and walk towards serene centre. the mad jacks sign is pretty obvious, so if you walk past it and end up at serene it might be time to get new spectacles =)
its also next to the neighbourhood police post, so if anything you can ask the police how to get there =)

see you there on wednesday!

SPRINGCLEANING!

2007-10-12T21:35:00.000+08:00

HELLO PEOPLE!(:

today springcleaning for OAC store, was a success! it's really super duper clean now, as compared to last time, and most importantly, there's a change in furnishing arrangement (can improve feng shui also, HAHA, i'm obssessed about that) such that our oac store seems so so so BIG NOW!!! it's really alot more spacious(: can fit alot more pple inside, we all don't have to squeeze in during wed meetings anymoreEeEeEeeee!!! HAHA!

well, so good job for those who came(: and for those who didn't, its okay, wait and see how nice our oac store is! (: its around 80% done, the remaining 10% involves some misc stuff to tidy up, and 10% involves add-ons into our store! like...

FLOWER SCENTED AIR FRESHENER!
nice nice area to be used for interaction and watching tv, maybe we can get some cute little blow up sofas HAHAHAHA. okay, maybe im thinking too much!

:D

hahaha, but in any way, HAVE A NICE DAY, PEOPLE!(:
and rmb... your date with ME on wednesday!!! AHEMS, HAHA, joking lah, with OAC on wednesday, seoul garden dinner! (:

to break the atmosphere a li'l, PW, PW, ALL THE WAY! (: you can do it!

OAC oldies

2007-10-10T22:59:00.001+08:00

NIUM NIUM NIUM JUICY JUICY li'l bites for ya! (:
let's take the time machine back... to the land of far, far away... a long time ago...
*enters dreamy land*

NJ OAC '88!

DURING BWM CAMP, the exco! HAHA! cool, shows how much more hiong they were last time... and is it me, or there are only 3 girls in the exco? HMMMMM.

They named it smthg called... Omega, dunno why also hahahaha. On first look, it looked like OAC land. But after much scrutinization, i realized it is highly possible that it is actually the non-existent-grand-stand-and-school-track-area then.

oolala.

This one is more recent i guess... as compared to the ones above, HAHA! they are killing a snake! and whoaw, the guys were all so muscular, look at their BULGING LEGS!

*looks down at my own pathetic, accumulative layers of fats* we, or rather I, need to train up more. HAHA.

A structure they built last time! They called it hourglass structure. haha. super high!

Is it me or this position of the photographer will be different if another person go and take from the same position NOW?

ahhhhhh, so council has been asking us to do backstage for YEARS FOR COLLEGE DAY (is it?)! HAHAHAHA. this are the girls, obviously.

and the guys. traditions never change eh, the black people of the backstage.

HAHAHHAA! i found all these from the internet, and it's really interesting actually. why do people look different even though they had lived on exactly the same piece of land as us?

is it appropriate for me to then assume that fashion, environmental habits, shape looks, regardless of whether its 10+ years' difference in exactly the same school?

okay, sounds circular hahahahaha. but anyway, food for your eyes! :D

oh, talking about food. to ensure that i won't get rob and minimize terrorist attacks,

birthday cake! many many candles some more. free!!!

>:D

Kaiting!
