AFTER 8

SSS bbq.

A big thank you to all who headed down to the bbq pit this afternoon for a time of free food and great company! Thank you for braving the rain and enthusiastically eating all the food we prepared.

See, as promised, NOT JUST SAUSAGES at bbq this time around. We had chicken burger patties, VEGIE burgers (not enough vegetarians to finish them up though) and yummy mushroom and onions fried together! Haha I'm sure the new menu caught many by surprise but hey, a little excitement is all we need to keep us going :)

For those who didn't manage to come for the bbq, YOU MISSED GREAT ACTION! (Wondering what that's about? Ask those who came, they would have heard some story about something catching fire and a flame as high as tree coming up. It was EXTREEEEEEEME!)

The bbq marks the end of the year of events for SSS. But don't worry, more to come when the year begins again next year. Keep the comments and feedback coming.

Study hard, drink more water and do well for the exams!
Can't wait to go home for some real Singaporean food!
Have a safe journey home too!

Finally, a new post!

Hey all! Sorry for the lag in posts. Oops. Anyway, just a reminder that the end of semester BBQ is just round the corner!

Date: 25th October (Thursday)
Venue: BBQ pit behind sports centre
Time: 12pm-2pm

It's the LAST chance for you to interact with SSS members before we all return back to the little sunny island after our exams! Make sure we see you there! Hahaha.

Horse Riding

Hey there!

I'm here to revive this dying blog!

Recently, we've had a horse riding trip on the 25th of September and I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who turned up for it. The trip wouldn't be successful without you guys!

Anyway, we all met at 845am at southern cross to take the V-line to Wallan. Interesting eh? I bet most Singaporeans would not know of Vline. It's actually a train service which caters to people living further than the metropolitan train stations and hence goes beyond the stations of broadmeadows, lilydale etc etc. Anyway, we alighted at Wallan and transport was provided from the train station to the ranch. We arrived at Pretty Sally Riding Ranch, given helmets and to told to 'SUIT UP'. Ok, I was just kidding about that last part.

After settling all the admin detail, they proceeded to assign us different horses. My horse's name is 'Ace' and he was truly a 100m star but I'm getting ahead of myself here. We started to walk along the trail into the forest and over the valleys. We saw a spectecular view but it wasn't enough. Just when I thought we were going to be walking for the next 1.5 hour, they stopped at the base of a slope and you could tell that the horses were starting to get real frisky. Next thing we knew, we were galloping up the hill! Ok, maybe cantering but it was still pretty fast. Thing about my horse was after the initial run, it subsquently became faster and faster, leaving the others in the distance. It nearly gave me a heart attack. Anyway, we basically walked/cantered/walked/cantered all the way back to the ranch. Afterwards, we were treated to a delicious BBQ of hash browns, sausages and beef! Overall, a very satisfying experience well worth every dollar I paid!

A Dinosaur in the Milo!?

Yayyy how was Festival of Nations people??
Ate like a glutton?
Splurged like a fool?
Well we had fun for sure!!



Selling those pisang goreng and Milo dinosaur to the eager hungry and thirsty people!


We've many interesting anecdotes to share!
When asked "What is a Milo Dinosaur?", what do you expect to hear?

Oh it's iced Milo with heaps of Milo powder on top of it.


What happens when you tell an Australian this:
Oh, a Milo dinosaur is actually Milo with a dinosaur inside. As you drink it, you'll find a dinosaur in it.

Would he believe you?

Well, he almost did. Heh heh.


And thank you for buying all those lovely, HEALTHY pisang goreng during FoN. They went like hotcakes man! One of them even requested that we added the crumbs onto his plate of banana fritters.

LOL!


We had lots of fun preparing, frying, stirring, selling, shouting, persuading, etc.


We hope YOU had as much fun as us in FoN! :)
