It wasn't their fault to be born into a world like this


"Nikki ought to be thankful for having such a pampered life"

Out of curiosity, a few of us wanted to have a look at the puppy that was rumoured to be very adorable. So, right after class, we went to the uni's open carpark where the puppy is located. We were even excited when the guard told us that there were actually 2 puppies. However, the excitement turned into sorrow after seeing what we saw.
Both puppies were found among the "lalangs", the female puppy had a humongous ant stuck in its eyeball while the male puppy had maggots and flies over it. Adnesh, Kah Tuck and I rushed to the nearest vet.

Look what the maggots had done to the poor puppy.
The maggots were eating its flesh. The wound is not so visible here but it is indeed deep.
The open wound is just a small opening for the maggots to enter the body, the upper flesh beneath the skin are mostly gone.
The male puppy. It is just so weak that it doesn't want to eat or drink
And now that's the adorable female pup that's dominating the food
Brotherly and sisterly love
Not so lovely after all, she kept kicking his face with her paw LOL
Aww but they are still so lovely
She was with her brother all the while when he was in pain


On the right: The dog food sample that the vet gave

Not bad eh? It's quite good quality according to my dad

So, after visiting the vet, we "camped" at the uni's main entrance to find ppl to adopt the puppies. It was difficult at first, some were not even interested, some gave a quick "NO", some didn't even dare walk near us and there were some who practically looked down, walked past us and pretended that they didn't see us!!

But towards evening, there were many concerned kind-hearted ppl who offered to adopt the puppies. There were many ppl who took interest in the puppies, accompanied them for the day, help spread the news and in many more other ways they showed their concern and care.

Too many to list down here, but I'm sure the puppies are very grateful to everyone who helped them =))

*Kah Tuck named the female puppy Annie as she got bitten by an ant and named the male one Maggot! He couldn't modify the word maggot into a nicer name. Sounds so wrong right? LOL

Variety & Finale Night

Again, we were given a specific song to follow. This time it was "You can't stop the beat", one of the songs in Hairspray. It's a really fast song and oh boy, thank god for Aneesha who choreographed the dance moves, if not we'll have no idea on what to do.





From the living room, we invaded the master bedroom

We practiced our dance moves in this small area

Tiring process but it was enjoyable :))


Lawrence as the genie who granted Dev the nerdy boy 3 wishes

1st wish: To look like Jack who is a cool guy

2nd wish: To look like Vincent who has a cool hairstyle

3rd wish: To be able to dance like Kevin


Notice the bars on the left-hand side?

That's the jail!!

If our performances suck, we will get C.R.A.P

If you hear the 1st siren, it's a warning, 2nd time, the C.R.A.P team would go on stage and hang cardboards on you which one of it is written as "My Ah Ma can act better than you" LOL and lastly if you hear the 3rd siren, it means that you are going into the JAIL!!


Yea, we got C.R.A.P! LOL

I had no idea why we got it

Supposedly it's because of the music, it was too soft

Oh well, we had fun!! =))





FINALE NIGHT


Theme of the night: Retro


Oh boy, how in the world am I gonna get a retro style clothing? Even my dad doesn't own one, what more me. I went through all my clothes but I still couldn't find anything suitable.


Suddenly, I thought of something!


I took my dad's oversized cheque shirt and wore it with a white pants! LOL And it looked a bit retro-ish. But Wen Peng said I looked like a cowboy, not retro at all -_-


Wei Rong with my sunglasses


Natasha and Kian


Wei Rong, Shal, Aneesha and I


Shal's humongous afro hair


Notice the hamper in the middle?

We won 3rd overall!!

Unbelievable eh?

It took us a few seconds to react when they announced it

That's a wrap!!




There are loads more of photos,

but it would take ages if I were to upload everything.

Telematch

It was raining very heavily

and most of us didn't feel like going






We were hoping that the rain would prolong and the event would be cancelled.

But the rain stopped.

Many ppl had fallen sick and they couldn't turn up for the telematch

It was freezing cold and I just wanted to cuddle in my blanket.

But after being inspired by what Noel said, I decided to get changed and go for it!

"Even if I'm the only one left, I would still go," said Noel

The telematch was held at a field in Sri Petaling.

The rain made the field really muddy, but no mud no fun =)


That's Dev trying to pick a small toy using a chopstick


That's Ib trying to suck water using a straw which has holes in it


Captain Ball!!
Melissa and Noel


The Commando Crawl did this to us

And Ouch! I got my other knee bruised and cut

And Paul did a sacrificial act by driving us muddy ppl back to uni in his car,

with newspapers of course. HEHE


I enjoyed the impulse game and the Takenoko-takenoko-no-kiki game =))



Overall I felt that was the most enjoyable event of all.

Because all we had in mind was "Just have fun!"



OOpps the picture is sideways

Have to turn your head to the right

It reads " MEDT 109"


Dress Code I & II

I was wondering, why were there 2 slots for dress codes. To me I thought it was a talk on dress codes but on the other hand why would they want to give us a 5 hour talk on dress codes for 2 days?? At night somemore! So I went asking around, what is dress code? The answer I got was, dress code is dress code la! Great.



Soon, I found out that, Dress Codes are actually sketches!! LOL *Bangs head*

For Dress Code I, each group is given a theme to follow. Ours was Disney characters with the song "Dangerous" by Akon.










Aneesha as Daisy Duck and Noel as Donald Duck


Phew-weet!

Pei Jin as the sexy witch
There's where the "Dangerous" song came in



This photo is sooo emphasizing on Noel's "butt", oops I mean pillow.

Donald has a really big butt so yea, there's where the pillow came into the picture.



The dance-off between Daisy and Minnie.

The plan was to ask the crowd to choose the winner, but ended up they chose Donald as the winner -_-

There goes the cross-breed plan


Our OOs =))

Clockwise: Pei Jin, Paul, Ruth, Kian


Shal and Aneesha


Sharon, Eunice and I



Chee Leong aka Leong Leong, me, Aneesha, Jack, Wei Rong


Kian and Kevin


Donald Duck

the chaotic behind the scenes moment



Dress Code II


Well, for Dress Code II, we were also given a theme to follow. We had Shah Rukh Khan in Penan tribe. You must be wondering what in the world is a penan tribe. It's actually one of the tribes in Sarawak. And coincidently, Noel is somehow related to it.



Dev did a good job as Shah Rukh Khan. He had trouble with the indian accent but he nailed it!

Bravo!

Kian was the camera man, observe the black camera. Awesome eh? :)

Ruth was the penan chief's daughter who fell in love with Shah Rukh Khan

Kevin was the chief

Noel was the chief's daughter's fiancee


Whatever props you see were all handmade =))
