049: Pre-Handover Stay Over

Pre-Handover Stay Over: 14 April 2012

The Primer’s Stayover at Audrey’s-Grandma’s-House took place the night before our ROD, as we spent a time of fellowship feeling extremely emotional about leaving Primers and the 12^th. Leaving on a high after the awesome time of worship/OICtalk/intense other stuff like prayer, we spent most of dinner at Wah Chee sitting in stoic silence, reflecting on the past and thinking of the future, as we watched the young punks of 1213 prance around playing Frisbee, so filled with the energy and vigour of youth. Except maybe not really because we ended up playing Frisbee after dinner as well but just pretend.

Following the classique Wah Chee dinner, the group of us then embarked upon the quest to find Audrey’s-Grandma’s-House. Stocking up on supplies such as the all-important bags of chips, the bottles and bottles of sweet drinks and other…items… *cough brian*, the venture into the unknown began! Trooping down Holland Village like a bunch of homeless vagabonds, chatting loudly and singing songs with our very own Nick the Bard, we eventually arrived at Audrey’s-Grandma’s-House, which simply put, was nothing short of massive. Like kids in a playground with no rules and a curiousity that knew no bounds, we excitedly entered the house, only to be greeted by a host of Audrey’s-Grandma’s-Friends!

 Adi. The Adi.

Noel, Chan Keen, Sebastian and Joshua Chee grrrrooooving to the beat

 Wonder Boys :3

Audrey’s-Grandma insisted we enjoy ourselves, and she herself got the party started the ball rolling by challenging Mike and Audrey to a dance-off in Just Dance! The rest of the night went by quickly, as we found our different ways to work off the anxiety building within us. Some of us talked it off with intense HTHTs, some of us sang our hearts out (or listened to someone sing his heart out anyway), and some of us gambled our life savings (of muscle energy) working out beside the pool. Our very own champion Aaron Chong accepted the challenge of doing over a thousand pushups before the night ended, a valiant attempt that eventually failed ^^

Nic wins at Ke$ha's Tik Tok!

The stayover eventually ended when, well, we woke up and stopped staying over. Sleep deprived and bleary eyed, but full of energy to make our last parade count, we donned our Primer’s uniform proudly for the very last time and left the house in an epic convoy of cars, got stuck in a traffic jam outside school, arrived just on time and pinned on our Raymond Lam nametags and 125 badges, ready to face whatever challenges that lay ahead! It was time to game on.

 Just keep swimmming...

The girls + extra

PS. We should do it again someday.
