CEC '07 Decor Day 4
Note: Lots of exclamation marks today. Am very excited. The end is near! New pictures and dinner entry!
And the theme banner is done! Check it out! From plain mahjong paper, to rough sketches, to painting, to touching up, and finally, to the end product!
The decor team should be so proud of themselves! It's a bleddy work of art!
Here! Check out the work in progess!
Top Left: CW and Bennie finishing up an Australian Rugby player. I did an American one. Yu Min, Crystal did two baseball players between themselves. When it's mounted on cardboard tomorrow, I'll take a picture of both of them, and the rest of the cartoon athletes, side by side. The helmets were a pain to do, 'cos it had many ridges to outline. It took 30minutes to carefully paint the helmet, clothes and shoes, and another 30 minutes just to outline. All will be placed in the music hall! We didn't have any real sample pictures to follow so we just painted off the top our heads. Turned out quite cool!
Top Right: The other pride of the team. An 8x MJ Paper sized stadium with various cartoon athletes in the foreground and a modified version of the theme banner on the top. Work on this giant banner has begun, with the painting of the background. Till tomorrow!
Middle: New! Other posters.
Bottom: New! Bennie acting shy, (fake one) and Joel painting.
I finally manged to get this, one, very precious shot of the very hardworking, fun loving team with a wicked sense of humor, coupled with bits of innocence. (Definitely not you, Bennie and Joel.) You all have become master contortionists, what with twisting here and there, stretching for all your paint brush's worth to just cover that weird spot.
Missing are: Charity & Yvonne, and Hui Yun. (Who insisted on taking the picture. Thank you!)
One more day to go everyone! Absolutely smashing job so far!
And then we went for dinner at United Square.That's another entry, once I get my hands on those pictures. Watch this space! Later!
Left: The Koreans held a funfair in our church today, and when they left, they left a bottle of coke, sprite and some ice mountains in the fridge. We simply helped ourselves to it.
Middle: Elusive no more! CW and Bennie, caught on camera!
Right: Reached US within a few minutes, constantly marked by people screaming, "Argh! Hide! She taking pikture!"

The elusive Hyunn, finally being caught on camera too! MA had to pretend she was checking her handphone and sneakily took this shot. And beside her is Hui Yue, who's reaction was admireable and managed to remain.. Well.. Illusive.
CW on the left, trying and failing to remain illusive, after this picture, he gave up and started playing around. Crystal, on the left, tinkering on her handphone. Everyone was chilling, meddling with their little handphones while waiting for the staff to take our orders. Seeing the staff was constantly looking in the other direction, everyone tried to get their attention, angsty teenager style. Got the chuut chuut, the "Er Hrm!" and from Bennie, "ASSSS-A-KUSE ME AH!!!"
"Good ad for Challenging Addition Mathematics. She look like she died doing it."
And the theme banner is done! Check it out! From plain mahjong paper, to rough sketches, to painting, to touching up, and finally, to the end product!

Clockwise from top left:
1. Work started with tracing out the drawing on several MJ paper stuck together.
2. If you squint your eyes, you can see the complete rough sketch, without any paint. Everyone's gathering up brushes, mixing colours, and arming themselves with paint at this point!
3. A few swipes of strokes from everyone. Some words appearing!
4. Slowly but surely, the theme banner is coming out!
5. Just a flag and the bottom of the shield left!
6. Joel doing the tedious work of touching up various mistakes, accidental blobs of paint, a footprint.. (Ok, was joking about the last one)

Of course, lest we forget, there are still things to be painted...
Left: Seeing it's really hard to paint this particular poster (4x) Joel and CW decided to prop themselves on a tiny table and paint. It really boggles the mind.
Right: Hui Yue painting the Music Score Board. By the end of this, she become slightly deranged and had her hands covered in green and black paint.

"Good ad for Challenging Addition Mathematics. She look like she died doing it."
And so, our soups arrived after a very long time, during which everyone started talking about school and sharing little bits of exciting news with each other. Nothing major, it's really nice and safe and friendly. Then the pizzas arrived, and fuelled by Pepsi, cheese and soup, everyone started to get really, REALLY high.
Someone "My school power right! The people so havoc!"
Ben "Hahah! Please!I think my school set the record for the entire Singapore's N Level standard. I think only 35% pass and go to Sec 5 ah!"
Ok.. High already.....
And we swapped exciting tales of people doing weird things in our school. Joel mentioned something about his classmates setting a paper plane, coated with deodorant , on fire and send it flying down to the near by condominium's swimming pool! Bennie, displaying the ever fervent Changkat Changi Sec spirit, declared, "Oh man, I'm gonna try it!"
Mix CCSS, Monk's Hill, Pierce, ex ITE and SJI together and you get...
"No! Put a lighter in front of a hairspray gel bottle and then spray!! *yells in middle of restaurant* FLAMETHROWER ATTACK!! FLAMETHROWER ATTAAAACCK!!"
"YEAH! I'm so gonna try it man!!"
"Bennie! Try already, film it and put on Youtube and send us the link ok?"
"Hell yeah, sure!!"
And the stories got bigger and wilder...
" ... My discipline master said the lower sec are immature, childish and stupid!"
" ... When my school merge with Balestier, the other school start to jio my school girls la!"
" ... Last time I was painting something, then I fall down and the paint drop on me! My mother tried to wipe away the paint with thinner, and I sniff until I become superrr high la! Everything white colour and very bright!"
*the thinner story is true, and so is everything else*
And we continued on this rein for a good 1 hour, pausing in between to wave at random people, "Wave at the people carrying food, maybe they will drop their plates!" and to crack jokes to make CW choke, "The hospital very near only!"
After much chortling from MA, we finally finished our dinner and got out reluctantly. Finally parted at the train station, with great food and great time of fellowship!
Day 4, last day, watch this space again!
