i came back from IAG Mod3 today at 12.30 . [:
i we had a really great time .
and no , i didnt see Coach Chong Chiat or A.Coach Suraj around . D:
and this time we were allowed to choose our own group members .
the session where we were supposed to talk to each other to see if that person is good in your group ?
it didnt really work out .
because they just had to put the req of at least 2 girls & 2 boys , 2 upper sec & 2 lower sec .
but anyway , found a group : zhi jun , leslie , charles , jonathan & cheng yong .
after that , WE COULD BID FOR THE COACHES WE WANTED !
(by pumpings as the cost)
we chose wilson & kristy .
could be cause of wilson's 'gay shit' act .
could be because of kristy's niceness .
but either way , we had to carry them to the side of the room .
the boys grabbed wilson's pole :x
and then they just hauled him to the side of the room .
males carrying males . what's the problem ? xD
when it came to kristy , some hesitation .
but we still managed to get her to the side of the room as well .
after some intros , we had to do the group flag . btw , our group name was Brainstorm , group 1.
and though the draft looked pretty okay , the real flag was just a word BRAINSTORM written on the top by Charles . LOL xD
after lunch , we went for outdoor activities .
GERALD IS DAMN SCARY PLEASE .
the ground was muddy but still had to get into pumping position .
we played tank and commander .
which ended in group 1 winning group 2 and 3 . :x
cause we had 5 people left unshot thought we had 6 members CAUSE SOME SMARTASS HAD TO THROW THE WATER BALLOON AT HIS OWN GROUP MEMBER ! ZOMG LOL .
we moved on to tug of war .
seemed pretty cheesy and easy at first .
BUT DAMN , GROUP 3 WAS PWNING US .
there was no doubt they were the strongest group .
and , oh , i forgot :x
the first round , group 2's rope loosened and came off x_x
out of 3 rounds , group 3 won 2 .
group 1 won 1 round .
looked like their strategy was all out attack .
and ours was to prey on their weakness when they weakened their pull after all pulling at the same time , though it didnt work some time , cheng yang decided to change the strategy , since they were positioned on our right and they kept pulling the bandana closer to them , what cheng yang did was to change the direction of pull . and the bandana ended on our side [:
no time , so couldnt play Max's GUNBOUND ver 1.7 -_-"
back at the training centre , we hurried to change our clothes ._.
we went for dinner too , WTF LA . MAX SOLD CHENG YONG FOR 1K . WE ALREADY BOUGHT HIM FOR 65K AND THEN MAX CAME IN TO SAY THAT HE WAS GOING FOR A DISCOUNT . really , WTF ?! group 2 got him .
then wei hong KOK came in to give us a talk , or rather lead us through the next activity . :x
i daresay the most interesting character was The Senile Sea Captain .
oh well , not many people stayed behind to ask him about stuff . :x
most of us went all out CHIONG AH !
but , who cares ? we got second place anyway . [:
wilson said it was a miracle , and INDEED IT WAS .
THOUGH WE LOST TO GROUP 2 BY LESS THAN $50 .
ZOMG LA IF WE COULD SELL AWAY OUR FOOD SUPPLIES WE COULD HAVE WON THEM .
big thanks to our capt. Jonathan and our wonderful parrot Leslie . HAHAH .
though Leslie must be one of the blurrest parrots ever .
run to them without the resources LOL .

the second day started with outdoor activities .
GRENADE !
it was fun . [:
and group 1 had ALL SURVIVORS . HAHAHA .
we did the 'turn over a new leaf' thing .
Coach DJ didnt let us step on our shoes though .
aww .
we ended up having horribly muddy socks .
and the next game was Max's Gunbound Ver 1.7 .
to make up for ytd's lack of time .
rofl .
si group 3 .
one bomb kill three x_x
and group 2 positioned them so far away they couldnt hit us and we couldnt hit them . LOL .
but group 1 died anyway cause group 3 kept targeting us . (Max was targeting us too for goodness knows what reason . ;x)
and pro Leslie actually hit Max with the newspaper LOL .
it wasnt intentional but it actually did hit him . xD
went back to the training room .
we found our symbols .
our very own symbols .
it was hard to share about it .
then we were held by terrorists .
and of course we know MAX was one of them .
it's really hard to have to go up to someone and say You Die .
gosh .
and alot of us didnt preserve our own lives .
5 lives , 5 lives saved excluding our own .
but our heroes stand by us now bearing our symbols on their chest .
we're resurrected to be better people .
i found that 'game' very meaningful .
games are a reflection of life and cause it was like a dose of reality and it's harshness in bout .
after that , we had the 15 minute power nap .
HAHA . not many of us slept anyway .
we 'woke up' to find ourselves going to sit through Gerald's talk on The Marketing Game .
we learnt how to 'build rapport' from kok . xD
me , zhijun and keith were in one group together .
KEITH KEPT LAUGHING LA OMG .
when i started smiling at how he was mimicking zhijun , his sian-ed expression turned into laughter pls . -_-'
the third day started with outdoor activities too .
(by the second and third day , i already learnt to wear black so my shirts looked REASONABLY CLEAN .)
more grenades thrown by of course , MAX . -_-"
we had ourselves blindfolded and separated , it's somewhat like the game that you have to call out animal sounds to get your team mates back .
and we had to get them into one small circle .
after i(okay they randomly chose me as ldr) FINALLY managed to get them all into the circle , we had to put the string around us .
oh we were doing fine , just that Coach Kenneth Chan came to kajiao us .
and in the end , BROKE THE STRING .
HAHAHAHAHA .
we got second in that game anyway .
went on to another one , blindfolded and all .
cant really explain the game , just had to follow leslie's instructions to step accordingly .
we got first . [:
we waited for the next game .
WHAT A CLEVER IDEA TO PLAY DOG AND BONE !
CHENG YANG VIOLATED ME D:
BAD CHENG YANG . D:
YOU'RE LUCKY WE'RE NOT IN THE SAME NP UNIT . xD
then went for the lookout game ._.
OMG LAHS . WHERE WE WERE HIDING , THERE WERE RED ANTS .
and as jonathan observed , my legs were turning really red lols .
so i joined zhi jun . but we pretty much couldnt see anything .
and what we saw earlier was only the ball .
selective hearing and sight was shown .
after that , the jungle warfare game .
WTF CAN .
OUR GROUP ALLIED WITH GROUP 3 .
AND IN THE END EVERYONE DIED .
CAUSE COACH TERESA CAME INTO GROUP 1'S HIDEOUT AND KILLED US ALL -_-
WHAT KIND OF RULE IS THE COACHES CAN SHOOT US BUT WE CANT SHOOT THEM ?!
everyone died and no one won .
HAHA .
went back to the training room .
and we were met with the horror of having to prepare for The Marketing Game .
we got the Poke and Probe Cleanser .
zomg lols .
we ended up calling ourselves the PAP .
HAHAH .
after the game , we did the trust fall .
basically like OBS , just MUCH MORE FUN .
for one , we didnt have the stretcher thing .
we used our arms to catch each other .
and after that , we carried the person and threw them up in the air , THREE TIMES . [:
hahas . it was so fun .
one of the guys in the same group as me(group 1&2 together) actually hit the ceiling .
PWNED . the false ceiling tile actually moved . what a mark . xD

saw all the coaches in front including the trainers .
kok sakmai . HAHA . xD
it's sad that some coaches will be leaving for their studies .
but it's inevitable .
at least neither wilson or kristy are going overseas.

after that , our respective coaches talked to us one to one .
thanks kristy , thanks wilson .
i'm glad i proved you wrong about first impressions , kristy . [:
i'm glad that i was able to help her open up to me , wilson . [:
i'm glad i was of help to Brainstorm . [:
i love MOD3 , the WHOLE mod 3 , coaches included .
we officially graduated from Mod3 .
this will definitely remain as one of my best memories ,
i love you all .


this was the final song that we sang together .
and yes , we got it that Adam's singing really CMI . ;x


[Whitney] Many nights we prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains Long before we knew we could, ooh yes

[chorus - Whitney] There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail It's hard to kill Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe, somehow you will You will when you believe Mmm, yeah

[Mariah] In this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain Hope seems like the summer bird Too swiftly flown away Yet now I'm standing here My heart's so full, I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say

[chorus - Mariah] There can be miracles When you believe (when you believe) Though hope is frail It's hard to kill (mmm) Who knows what miracles You can achieve (you can achieve) When you believe, somehow you will You will when you believe Hey, oh

They don't always happen when you ask And it's easy to give in to your fears But when you're blinded by your pain Can't see the way, get through the rain A small but still, resilient voice Says hope is very near, oh

There can be miracles (miracles) When you believe (when you believe, yeah) [Though hope is frail] Though hope is frail [it's hard] It's hard to kill (Hard to kill, oh, yeah) Who knows what miracles You can achieve (You can achieve, oh) When you believe somehow you will (Somehow, somehow, somehow) Now you will (I know, I know, know) You will when you believe [When you] (Ohoh) [You will when you] (You will when you believe) [Oohoohooh] [Oh...oh] [You will When you believe] [You will When you believe]
