11 of us went Karaoke on 20th Dec 09. (Yuyi came late, and so wasn't in the group photo).

With much experiences (?!) from 'competitions' like TALENTIME, we were all able to tackle songs from all era, be it the simple 80s or popular 90s or vibrant 2000s. After all, we've had some award-winning Talentime singers right.. (I can't really remember who though).

Some highlights:

-The 'most 有用' in girl squad (aka Rachel) actually chose to sing 求佛！

-Yuyi helped us reminisce her memorable Talentime song, 当你！

-Yixiang and Robin sang love duets together!

-The funniest song of the day were 稻香 and 只对你有感觉 (gan jiao)!

-And of cos, alot more...

I guess we'd probably meet again around CNY?

A little gathering on 09 Dec 09!

Ah Mok suggested this Miss U Cafe near Simpang Bedok, and the dim lights of the cafe set off many related funny statements made by who-else-->Damien.

The girls.

And guess what! Rachel's actually a part-time STUNT DOUBLE, who's now very passionate about Parkour. Ok, frankly speaking, it's not very surprising for a Little Miss Monkey during NP days, right?

And Yuyi's back from Aussieland, until about Mid-Jan 2010.

The boys. Erm, Rachel qualifies, no?

The group shots!

We were chillaxing here from 7pm till at least 1030pm. We did have quite a good round of laughter here, that some of us had to complain “很累，因为笑太多了!!”.

Thanks AhMok for putting this together, and we'll meet up again soon!

The 2nd Annual Squad Night Cycling Event deserves an entry here!

My definition of a successful and good night cycling session, is primarily based on the company and the distance covered. Both were great!

After our first Squad Night Cycling last year, Part 2 continued this year with a much more challenging route. All the moans and groans; all the curses and swears, especially along Clementi Road near NUS. But I'm sure everyone felt very accomplished--the bigger thigh muscles; firmer butt and back, and the record ~55km distance we covered.

how's the exams for for everyone?

this blog is quite dead for a god knows period of time!!

so when does the exams end for everyone?

squad outing?anyone??

~zuberix~

原来，在民歌餐厅喝喝饮料，听听歌曲，也是蛮享受的。今天的squad聚会，的确有别于往日的节目。总觉得，大家约出来，听听歌曲，聊些有的没的，似乎是个蛮成熟的聚会方式。时间一晃，想不到，大家也已认识9年半，快10年了!

只听中文歌曲的我，当然对于同样喜欢听中文歌曲的朋友，有比较亲切的感觉。

最近这一两个月以来，认识新的大学同学，似乎不常找得到钟爱中文歌曲的人。有的连华语都不是很灵光。。。对于一个以中文为主要用语的我，用英语与他们沟通，虽然不成问题，但是，就会有一种莫名的隔阂，感觉不亲切。

其实，在赴squad outing约之前，就有同学正在策划下课后的节目。当我告诉他们我要去民歌餐厅，他们竟然问我那是什么。在一点轻描淡写地解释后，他们更以异样的眼光问我，‘那就是说只有中文歌咯？’。

其实我想说的是，squadmates是一群特别的朋友。是一群，我在别的group里找不到的。

可能就是因为有所谓的亲切感吧。
