OH MY GOD!!!
Today was a FUN SESSION!! Woots!!!!!!!! Haha.. Okies. To start off, we actually realise that we have a lack of ITEMS. -shocked face- SOO. Our favourite PRESSIE!!! came up with the brilliant idea of D.I.Y. And thus, the "PAPER CARDS" (as I was told to name them) were born!!! Then in T11. We finally have a classroom that doesn't threaten to lock us in!!! Our v-pressie started of with a summary of our JCT yeah!!! VERRRRRRRyyyyyy interesting!!! (no sarcasm intended). Honestly. The price was WONDERFULLY CHEAP!!! -shocked face again- THEN. Our LONG AWAITED... -drumrolls- Dance Dance Revolution (DDR)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have certain PRO KIAS in our midst. Playing with the DDR mats sponsored by our very own YI WEI THE DDR KING, we saw various professionals groove to the music. Hahahahhaha... If yer wanna know who are the KINGS and QUEENS ie the PRO KIAS, you can ask any present there lol... At the same time, we had a table of four going through games like Dai Di, Bridge etc... Good to know that this isn't lost in our generation yep yep. We also had another MORE INNOCENT group at the back of the classroom playing... -drumrolls again- SLAPJACK!!!! OMG FINALLY there's people to play SLAPJACK with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those that doesn't know, we'll be explaining the basics here (so you can play with us next time with no excuses muahahahahah): 1. Slap Jack has three kinds of "slapping" (meaning you hit your hand on top of the pile of cards) 2. If you've played normal SNAP, you will then know the first SLAP. CONSECUTIVE SAME CARDS are SLAPPED. eg I put a ten, next person also flips open a ten on the pile. SLAP!! 3. Another SLAPPING is when Jack appears. Simple and easy. 4. Lastly, when you open your cards, you are supposed to call "Ace, two, three..." so on and so forth, ending at King and starting at Ace again. So when the card you flip open corresponds to what is just called, SLAP!! 5. Simple as above. Soo let's play SLAPJACK!!!! Then we had DFTL trial... Hmm... For only awhile lol... And finally... MASS DANCE!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH. Ok sorry. Yours truly has an addiction to them, so for those of you that have neutral or negative feelings towards it, I'll just skip this. :)) Lastly. RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS. But, it's just FAKE energy boost. After the caffeine dose, you'll feel like HELL if you don't actually have the energy needed. SO. JOIN VJC JAP CLUB!!!!!!!!!!! ^^ CHEERS!!! ^^ Messr Teddy Lupin |
