Jim's Party

Saturday the 24th was an uneventful day for most. UNLESS YOU WERE INVITED TO JIM'S 19TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. ON THE ROCKS.
Actually it was on the grass at Brighton Beach, which we all thought was just an extension of Scarborough Beach. Actually, the party was scheduled to be held at Scarborough but due to unforeseen circumstances (a certain A. Callea) the location was moved to this ideal location.
Also, the party was scheduled to start at 1pm... but everyone was following the strict formula pertaining to Asian Time:

Time of Arrival = Scheduled time + 0.5x (where x is the number of people in the group arriving)

Anyway, the day was a massive success with new friends being made and Jim getting owned. Several times. Intensely.

The Jim Himself.


MSHS pride (but still not the whole MSHS crew.. i mean krew y'all, cos we so ghetto indahood)

the eve of christmas eve [dec.23]

Okay! Gotta get this all down while it's still fresh in my head.

Tonight was our Youth Nite Outreach for Christmas, it was awesome to see the house packed and the items for the night were kick-ass, especially the dance routines.
I also went about santa-ing tonight, I only wished I could've gotten to the shops today to get some more presents, and regret not taking a photo of Thien's face when he opened his present to reveal a "Sorry Girls, I'm Gay" t-shirt...

The weird thing happened after church, when we were all leaving to go home.
As we both live in the same direction, me and Tony take the same route home up to about my house, then Tony keeps going..., most of you will know what I'm talking about (that maddawg shortcut through the new St. Andrews area).
Upon reaching Alexander Drive, Tony jumped out of his car and ran up to mine, and I wound down my window expecting him to try and lift up my windscreen wipers or something annoying like that... He ended up saying "Come back to Church, there's been a car accident!".
We headed back to Church and ended up going down Torquata Drive (?) until we saw a crash scene... and quickly parked to see how we could help.

Chu Duc was there to help out with their family friend and her car as she was involved in the accident, and her daughters were taking charge of the situation, using their multilingual powers for the greater good. Or something. Tony was quicker to park and ran out first to get an idea of the situation, and only after walking over myself did I realise that it was Rory from MSHS who had been hit. In a car of course, not hit while he was walking or something.. he's not that indestructable (but he did seem completely fine after having his driver-side door smashed in). After much glancing and confusion I came to realise that the lady's daughters went to MSHS as well, and of all the people to come back to help, it was me and Tony, both MSHS students (for the uninformed).

Rory's driver-side door was smashed in pretty good... he couldn't get out through it or hazard any chance of prying it fully open, so he climbed out through the passenger door. Only problem was, when he closed the door he realised he locked his keys in the car.
*Cue MSHS Ingenuity* (it was probably his own smart thinking and optimism... not any special kindof ingenuity gained from going to MSHS)
He overcame this by ripping off the black thing on the side of the car (guys help me out, it's black. and it goes along the side of the doors, and it's kind of an extension of the bumper... and on certain cars it says 4.0 DOHC... I'm not a car kind of guy...) he managed to shove it through a gap in the door that had been kept open from the accident, and he managed to turn off his car engine and in a stroke of genius, open the boot.
Using the boot as a secret passageway into his car (pushing through the seats) he managed to unlock his car, retrieve all the documents he needed and eventually drive home (legend).
Obviously after such an experience, me and Tony were pretty damn hungry so we headed over to Tuart Hill Maccas for a feed.

It's good to be ex-MSHS.
