Delayed Buaya Week Update

Finally got my lazy bum down to blog about the infamous BUAYA WEEK.

It was such a fun and whirlwind week, with everyone enjoying themselves and participating actively in the game. It's only fun if pple play it.

So, at opening I fished up Szeyi's name, who was gonna be my official Buayee for the one week. Woohoo.. quite happy at first cuz I heard she's one who'll be willing to play along.

I think I shall do it in a timeline fashion, though by now the memories might be rusty.. but it should be quite accurate still =)

Thursday
Left a "YOU ARE MINE" note on Szeyi's door printed with 3 A4 sized papers. Wrote a poem for Pris that night, about a ballerina clad in pink snowflakes and signed off as draw. Saw Nithiya and lvl 3 girls.. bah identity busted. to them, at least.

Waited till 5:30am (Friday) and prepared the roses with Stanley, and stealthily hung one at the door of each girl in block B. Haha it was fun.. including decided which colour to give for each girl. e.g. pink definitely for Gerlynn.

Friday
We went shopping for some materials, along with Pris and Weising at Big Bookshop Clementi. Haha Pris bought colour pencils for draw after replying with "I will let you draw my future" hahaha so funny.. I drew a picture of a couple hugging jap manga style and posted in the blank she gave.

got Pi Pa Gao from Weising too to give to Szeyi who was having a sore throat.. with a note: "Nan Ren Bu Ying Gai Rang Nu Ren Hou Tong" lol.. along with some mushy lines..

Then it was the weekend, where I bought a gazillion stuffs for the coming week.

Things bought:
  • Styrofoam from Popular
  • Dried plants from flower shop
  • Astroturf from HomeFix
  • Four Disney 500pc puzzles + frame from Minitoons Heartland Mall
  • Lotsa corrugated plastic and mounting boards
  • Double sided tape, art knife and misc. art stationery.
  • 0.8m x 12m black cloth from Hougang South

    Things brought from home:
  • All my acrylic paint set
  • 100pc pink bracelet lightstick
  • Small glass bottle
  • More corru. plastic and stationery

    Saturday
    Other than shopping, I completed and framed up the 4 puzzles for each of my princesses on lvl 5 =)

    Sunday
    More shopping for materials, and then its back to hall with 4 big bags of stuff.

    Put up the four disney puzzles for them, each with a note. Decided not to sign off as antyhig since they're gonna guess its me anyway. Tingping got the Cinderella, Cheryl got Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Pris got the Sleeping Beauty, and Weising got the one with all the kid version of the Disney princesses.

    At night was the painting of the 12m long banner. Painting started at 8pm at 7.5 floor.. darn long process when i was painting letter by letter at the corner.. then I got pissed and moved in, where I could paint the whole banner at once. The banner reads, "Szeyi, Wo Men Jie Hun Ba!" (Szeyi, Let's get married!) The thing is done at around 4:30am, with the help of Tingping, Xiaoqing, and Ritchell, we hung the banner across the pond from lvl 4 linkway to Stanley's room. Pictures included =)

    Meanwhile during one of the painting breaks I steamed choc mantous and fried omelette with light soy sauce just for Tingping =)

    Monday
    Haha Szeyi saw the banner! haha happy.. by night time she put up a reply next to my banner, on helium balloon, saying, "Wo Hen Xiang, Dan Shi Hao Xiang Shao Le Yi Yang Dong Xi" (I'd like to very much, but there seems to be one thing missing). I immediately went to my room and made a diamond ring for her, which was finally done at around 5am.

    Put up the ring with a box.. and stuffed cotton wool with the silver shimmery stuff all over. Happy with my work.

    Coloured Pris' drawing too after receiving the colour pencils she gave. Wrote yet another poem =)

    Tuesday
    This time, Szeyi's fast.. She made a pretty wedding cake as a response to my ring, and then we were "married!" wahaha.. so what'd be next? I had a mental block. Damn.

    Went out to buy the chocs, drink and strawberries for pris' "blind" date.

    So I just hung around, and did my own stuff for the day, including one for Gerlynn. I taped twine of diff. lengths to approx 30-40 light sticks, and then got xqing to distract her away from her room for 15mins. Then, with the help of very helpful May, I managed to tape the sticks all over the ceiling and fan of her room. Then after drawing the blinds, and clsoing her laptop and turning off the fan, I must say I was satisfied with the results. I signed off as "Red", since she's crazy over pink and its made of letters from my name. "I couldn't find any pink stars in the sky so I made you your very own pink lit night sky".

    Ok, Inspiration hit. at 4:30am, I began carving a mini airplane from the 30cents eraser, beside xqing who was making stuff for the girls too. After carving, the plane was suspended with a thread in the glass bottle filled with water. A font size 3 msg was written and stuck on the bottle, saying "let's go for a honeymoon in our very own little white plane." in chinese.

    At 630am we stopped work. Xqing started making breakfast and almond jelly for Liyang, while I made pancakes, half boiled eggs (pris loves them) and milo for pris, who had a grueling lit test on wed morning 8am.

    Wednesday
    Ate bfast at comm hall for the first time in a long while, because the $#@$#@%#@%@%^ mynahs stole the remaining 3 pancakes i was gonna eat.

    Slept and woke up for EG lab.

    At night, prep went underway. The laptop was plugged with Weising's speakers, playing the FF instrumental piece, the strawberries were cut, the chocs were prepared, and the table and stools too.

    A poem was written to ask pris to keep herself free as I'll be there at 2am.

    Sandra was asked to help me blindfold pris and bring her up to 7.5 floor, and a bunch of pple followed along.. haha a short video was even taken.

    Pris talked, I replied by tapping her with a pre-arranged code, and fed her the food as we chatted. Lol.. it even ended with a dance to the song "we will dance" even though both of us can't slow dance for nutz. Think it was darn embarrassing.

    Then she was sent back to her room flushed and red from that little gulp of Choya.. lol.

    Thursday
    What to do for my buayee revelation?! Ok, I ran outta of ideas, so in the end nothing was given. I did make a pretty decent pencil holder though for my buaya, Karen, but i think i forgot to take photos. darn. The closing was not bad, and yenbin won the buaya king title hands down with a video he made for his old friend Jeyee, which made her teared.. aaww it was damn sweet la.

    And I think being the buaya king in my buayee's mind is good enough =) Cuz my revelation gift was darn nice!! It was a clay statuette of a cartoon guy with a crown, and a hand sewn red robe. He's mounted on a hexagonal wooden box with see thru glass tops, showing 4 compartments. In each compartment was a miniature of all the things I had done for her, i.e. the pipagao, the plane, the banner, the ring, haha all mini sized!! And the exterior of the box was painstakingly mosaic tiled. Expensive too I bet. And also a nice card to accompany. All my effort was worth it =) Glad to have brought many smiles to my official buayee and numerous unofficial ones this one week.

    Btw pris screamed my name so loudly after discovering that I was draw.. hahaha it waas so darn hilarious.

    Anyway that night I made a mahjong voodoo doll for my mahjong fanatic buayee Szeyi, with bendable limbs and a money face and tummy to suck money, as a revelation gift.

    And that's the main summary of the week! Left out some stuff here and there, will edit and add more when I think of it. Gonna sign off for hockey training tmr already.. blog again next time!
