& we know that LOVEL loves♥ us.
HI TO ALL (over again)
Hope all of you have enjoyed the BBQ but obviously some of you didn't. And WE (organisers) know that almost all of you had trouble going to that place. And we apologise sincerely if we had not made it clear to you all the directions to go there.
PS: We ourselves got stranded at Pasir Ris and asked for directions from bus drivers as well.
Just to let all of you know that you people were not the only ones who faced problems, but we ourselves too. And plus all that smoke from the charcoal and things like that. And thanks
CHERYL for starting up the fire, and not forgetting you received help from
JOYCE too, and MAYBE
WAISIONG.
And not forgetting to thank the people who BBQ the food, like
Aqilah, Jaslyn, Miss Ng, Wai Siong, Yi Ting, Wan Ting, etc etc. Feel free to post up all your photos you have for the Class BBQ, and please abstain from negative comments about the BBQ from your blogs, because if you all have so much to rant, we (organisers) have alot to rant too. Actually everyone who's reading can see the controlled anger within me as i type this whole chunk of words. Not to pinpoint anyone, but if you're really so unhappy with this BBQ, you can jolly well get back your refund, and vomit out the food that you've eaten.
Thanks, and to people who feel offended: We're not pinpointing anyone (:

The Class BBQ falls on Thursday, date 131108. The weather forecast are as follows. (Lol, betcha haven't thought of that!)
Wednesday: (24/32 degrees celcius) Showers with thunder in the late morning and early afternoon.

http://intranet.mssinet.gov.sg/nowcast/3dayotlk.htmA quick glance at the weather forecast tells us that it will rain on the class BBQ day! :( However, not even weather forecasts are accurate at times, so let's hope the sky would be clear for us to have fun on that day. (:
It's still safer to have a more elaborate rainy day plan in case it really rains on that day. Hmm.. water bombs make us wet, so I guess water bombing on a rainy day would be suitable, but of course we can still waterbomb on sunny days. Otherwise, I suggest that the class sits in a circle under a pavillion and tell horror stories. It's a rainy day after all, suitable ambience for sending chills down our spines! (Consider lighting up a campfire for more ambience, if possible.) (Might want to bring a portable mike and amplifier set too, but it might too bulky to carry to and fro.) (Or maybe just play some class games if all else fails.)
How to get to the site:-- Board the MRT to Bedok or Paya Lebar, then take a taxi to Bedok Jetty. Lol the taxi driver won't know where BBQ pit #57 is, so better say Bedok Jetty. (Believe me, its cheaper than taking a taxi all the way from your home, although it's more time consuming.)
-- Board a taxi in a group to share the costs.
-- By your parent's car.
-- There is no bus service that stops at the site. Although there is 401, it does not operate on weekdays. There are actually many bus services across ECP (East-Coast Parkway) near Bedok Jetty, but you can't cross the highway as there are no traffic lights and you can't fly across. I don't know if there are any overhead bridges though, so if you want to risk it, you can take buses 16, 31, 36, 43, 48, 196, 197, 135, 155 and 853. (We''ll not be responsible if you lose your way!)
Suggestions (No need to oblige, they're just suggestions!) :-- More food of the herbivore variety? x)
-- We bought an oil brush, but do remember the oil itself! (Or is it included in the food?)
-- Use styrofoam cups, as they are more environmentally friendly. Unless there is a recycling bin nearby.
-- Bring fans, to dissipate the smoke that might be produced from the BBQ.
Haha, they're just suggestions, so it's up to the class to decide whether they want to use them or not! :)
