Veron is having a chronic writer's block over at Blogger and forum. But she is here to shed some light over the doubts on the novel titled "The Mystery of the Disappearing Juniors". XD

CASE #01.
On 28th March 08, Friday, late afternoon, Detective IZ, Jus, Kel and Ver spotted one of the disappeared juniors after their shopping rounds.

They spotted Tomo at City Hall MRT station. He's busy working currently, and may not attend our gathering. He added that he will attend trainings when school reopens. The last song he has learnt was Kiyon.


CASE #02.
On the same day, Detective Jus wanted to find out if another missing junior Melvin will be coming for the gathering or not. Hence, Detective Ver decided to ring him up.

He picked up the phone! So Detective Ver asked him if he's coming for our gathering. He said most likely not and apologised, since he will only return to SG on 13April.
-------------------------------------

my dearest fellow juniors, let's work and train hard for our coming test! we've been through this far, so let us give our best shot this time round!

remember our tremendous struggle during 方?i would classify that period as a test of our perseverance and enthusiasm.
we endured all the body aches after every training, because we yearn to know daiko more.
we began to love the trainings, because we see the seniors' efforts in coaching us and getting to know us, plus the patience they've showered us all along.
we may not express verbally to the seniors that we're thankful to them, but deep inside us, we wish to, right?
maybe we've tried to use other channels to express our thoughts and feelings to seniors, but little did we know that may have made everything more vague. but in a way or two, we'll see the light.
---------------------------------------

we laugh, we joke, and we dare to be expressive during trainings, as we feel that all of us are close-knit enough for all these.
we don't describe ourselves as "one big family" for nothing.

there may be times when quarrels, conflicts and conflicting ideas surface. everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different experiences and mindsets, hence we can't expect everyone to think like us. i would like to quote from what Mel said during the meeting(can't word for word though, paiseh, but i hope it'll be about the same meaning), that is, when people don't walk the path you're walking, do not force or push them to your path. Instead, slowly steer and guide them to your path.

the road to bond everyone together isn't smooth. but as long as we have the same goals and ideas, and see the same picture, the road can be rough, uneven, winded for all we care, but we know, the destination's not far.

remember, we are a part, not apart. (:

Hi everyone! I had promised that I would upload the videos of yesteryears. OK, not that long. Actually, I know you guys are eager and enthusiastic about it. So, no more suspense.

The videos are dated back -------> (processing...) -------> (processing...) -------> (checking my blog for the date) -------> 21st September 2007, Friday, evening.
It's our mid-autumn festival celebration cum gathering cum bonding cum birthday celebration cum 中秋节 cum 聚会 cum 促进凝聚力 cum 生日庆祝会. O.o

1) We had our Musical-Pass-the-Lantern-and-Shoo-the-Ball-with-Forfeit game. OMG, actually that was also the birthdate of Fourfeet mentioned in earlier post XD

2) See our couples in action! (under the Snakes and Ladders component)


Snakes and ladders. Too many traps. Too many shaking of butts.

Subsequently, we had our Amazing Race in SP compound. Did I mention that my team won?! hahaha...And at the finale of that wonderful night, we celebrated Kelly Liaw, Lisi and Justina's birthdays. The whole scene was rather chaotic though. Many had been victims of cream bombs. ><

Thanks to the seniors who made this gathering fun! ^^

I'm sorry to say that I could only upload 3 videos as the clip sizes are quite big, you know. =X
