Hi all, welcome to HCGS (Hilariously Corny Game Show)!

Today, we'll be casting votes for the.... *drumroll*....

HOTTEST COUPLE!!!

Here are the contestants:







1)This couple is enjoying a few tubs of ice cream on their first date. Nothing like some cookies 'n' cream to sweeten your relationship. Of course, personal hygiene must be observed (especially in this period when swine flu is a serious threat) and sharing of utensils is highly discourage. Kudos to this fine couple who understands the necessity of personal hygiene! Vote for them by tagging "ICE CREAM DUO" now!










2) Here we have our second couple engrossed in their favourite past time - camwhoring! They are both staring at a mirror and making funny but endearing poses as they click away maniacally with their camera phones. This might seem as an unusual way to spend one's first date, but these two unique individuals are never afraid to break barriers and start trends! Cast your votes for this hip couple by tagging "Camera Duo" now!










3) Our third pair of contestents are much more conventional. Graduating from the same Junior College, they have felt it prudent to visit the nearby Coronation Plaza in commemoration of the day they met. Their relationship is that of a fairy tale story where the young prince happened upon the distressed princess who was in a quandary about where she should eat (Golden Rooster or Cosy Corner? ). Like a knight in shining armour, Prince Shufeng swept in and pointed out a third and the obviously perfect choice - Sushi!




4) This last couple has a rather shady background. Well known in the underworld as "Kangx the Killer", Wan Kai Hui is THE most noctorious mafia boss in the world. Despite tremendous efforts from M18 and FBI, Kangx remains at large. Consistently making it into MITE's annual list of "Top 10 Richest Men in the World". Of course, behind every sucessful man is a women. Kangx would never have made it so far if not for his greatest advisor and lifetime companion - Bohtea. Bohtea is not a woman to be trifled with. Being the mastermind behind several worldwide operations, Bohtea has pretty much conquered the black markets in most of the Asian countries. She also dabbles in other professions such as hotel management and is suspected to have ties to Boh Shufeng - owner and manager of HCGS (the most well-known chain of hotels in the world). This game show host has received quite a few anoynimous death threats and will thus implore the voters to give this powerful couple your votes. Tag "Mafia Duo" and save your life!

BEFORE THIS DAY IS ALMOST DONE,

let's take a moment to ponder the immensity of 18/05

18 years ago, on this very day, in a remote corner of a remote island in a remote corner of the Earth,

our dear Captain, LYNETTE was born

HAPPY (EIGHTEENTH) BIRTHDAY :D

And guess what, according the Wikipedia,

 

the number eighteen in chinese can be read as 幺八 (yāo bā), which means "one is going to prosper" !

In the United States, eighteen is the legal age where one can legally get a body piercing and tattoo without parental consent, gamble, vote, drive a car, bear arms, get an abortion, donate their bodies to science, serve on a jury and marry without parental consent.

In the Netherlands, eighteen is the minimum age one must be to procure marijuana legally ! LOL !

And in the UK, eighteen year olds can finally (legally) purchase booze, tobacco, vote, go to war and model for pornography(!)

All the joys of being eighteen !

Once again, HAPPY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY (:

(and consider yourself very lucky, there wasnt any pink colour in the presets !)

So before the idea of season ending gets too stale, let me do a customary shout-out/ reflection/ whatever about our journey and the awesome people involved. So here goes.

It could have gone either way, but it didn't, did it? One lapse of concentration pretty much sealed it for us. I think the subsequent 2 draws were immaterial because of that single match. But shit happens. We knew that we'd given it everything, but there's a fine line between success and failure. Regrets? No, I don't think so. There's a lot that I can look back on with pride and I'm just happy to have been part of this incredible team.

Talk about brief, but I just figured that words are superfluous. :)

Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in the activities presented to them. The first record of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, in which it appears six times, although the expression to be a bore had been used in the sense of "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768.
Boredom has been defined as "an unpleasant, transient affective state in which the individual feels a pervasive lack of interest in and difficulty concentrating on the current activity." Another definition is "“an affective experience associated with cognitive attentional processes.” These definitions make it clear that boredom arises not from a lack of things to do but from the inability to latch onto any specific activity. Nothing engages us, despite an often profound desire for engagement.
People ranked low on a boredom-proneness scale were found to have better performance in a wide variety of aspects of their lives, including career, education, and autonomy.In a learning environment, a common cause of boredom is lack of understanding; for instance, if one is not following or connecting to the material in a class or lecture, it will usually seem boring. However, the opposite can also be true; something that is too easily understood, simple or transparent, can also be boring. Boredom is often inversely related to learning, and in school it may be a sign that a student is not challenged enough, or too challenged. An activity that is predictable to the students is likely to bore them.

Heehee. The things I'm willing to do to get out of studying for chem spa. :) My next word of the day shall be "procrastination". Stay tuned to Venerated Vocabulary (alliteration!).

Just 'cos season is ending doesn't mean we can't have fun. Here's a list of POST-SEASON ACTIVITIES. Feel free to add to it. :D

1. TRAININGS! (it'll be fun, seriously)
2. Paintball (ha, where we can get injured and it'll be ok)
3. JTS (cough cough)
4. Escape (particularly for those who missed out the last time)
5. Wolverine! (come on, who doesn't like good 'ol Logan?)
6. Dance Night CIP (if you were there last year, well. we've learnt some lessons, eh?)
7. Seniors vs Juniors (as in seniors vs juniors in an 11-a-side full field game)
8. Treat Coach to a meal (need ideas for this)
9. BIKE RIDE (no, not the 100km one we were thinking of doing. this will be self-organised where we basically meet in the morning to rent bikes and spend the day going around as I bring you to fantastic MAKAN places you may or may not have had the privilege of visiting before :P)

Damn, I wanted to stop at 9, because that's an awesome number, but I can't leave this out of the list.
