THESeniors Home Painting + Kevin's Farewell BBQ

I woke up this morning with both my arm muscles aching like hell! Ouch!

Nevertheless, I had fun during house painting at THESeniors with many freshies! Jerome, Benjamin, XQ, YR and GY were there too! My beloved Charis freshies! I made them call me “freshie” because I was the only senior there from e6. And in actual fact, no other freshies actually recognized me as a KC. It was partly a good thing. At least I realized nobody there knew I did a horrible thing during e6. Haha…

It was a 3-room flat that we were painting. The walls’ condition was really terrible, yellowish & full of dust. We were told to only paint the kitchen and the living room. It sounded like an easy job that could be done in a few hours with so many people around. When we get started, then we realized it was a real tough job!

We started moving out the furniture to the centre & laying newspaper on the floor. It was not an easy job either. The space was small, and the house owner had a lot of things that they should throw away, so moving furniture didn’t seem that easy. I started sneezing the moment most of the furniture was moved out! You should see the amount of dust accumulated behind those furniture! Besides, I had a rather sensitive nose, so I was sneezing a lot!

After all the little bits and pieces, we started our 1st coat of whitewashing! Seriously, it was really terrible because the walls are super yellowish! After finishing the 1st coat, I was slacking around for a while because some of them were using paintbrushes to do the corners. When the 1st coat dried up, we began on the 2nd coat. We tried our best to make the walls really white! I went into the kitchen to help out after I was done with my part of the 2nd coating. I was slacking too. =X

Jasmine da-bao-ed lunch for us! We were sitting at the corridors while eating as there was no space in the house. It was really hilarious looking at us sitting 1 line along the corridors eating chicken rice. Haha… I think Charis had the most people turnout in the end, so we kind of hanged out in our own group. But of course! We did talk to other groups okay! I got to know Vincent, Kaiyuan & Auxo the other freshie, Jing Rong & Josephine. There’s a few more others, but I didn’t really manage to talk to them.

Charis freshies & “Freshie” had a nice short chat during lunch. After lunch, the kitchen belonged to Charis, because the rest were painting in the living room. I hated scrapping the ceiling! Okay, I hated it because I’m short. Haha… Jerome was so sensitive to height. His ears pricked up whenever I said that I’m short. Haha… That’s because we had the same height, “188cm”. Even though the painting & scrapping were tiring, but I enjoyed those small talks & laughter we had in the kitchen. It was not just painting & scrapping, but the bonding that we got while we are together doing the same activity. I got to know my freshies better.

I think I’m so old man! I’m the freshie cum slacker of the day! Haha… (But I helped to mop the living room okay! Haha… I’ve mastered Kam Por’s mopping skills! =P)

these are my Charis freshies - GY! I'm proud of them!









Most of them left after clearing up the living room & shifted the furniture back. They were not lazy! It’s just that most of them had something on. =D Really thank them for volunteering to help out! We’re all nice people!

I helped to clear up the kitchen for a while before I had to leave to meet Kevin. We were supposed to go for Kevin’s farewell BBQ at my Ai Ai’s venue. I was almost lost while on my way to meet Kevin. So dumb! Haha…

It was raining halfway through the BBQ. Nevertheless, the rain didn’t spoil our mood. We still have some “百万大歌星” mobile version going on. Haha… Eating, playing, have fun. They had a surprise celebration for July babies. Xinyi had to pull me in to join Esmond & her! I felt so paiseh & a little out of place because both of them were from Auxo. Still, thanks for that, people! =D Kevin had a farewell cake as well! =D



This is a fake Auxo group photo! I think people will start getting emo seeing this.
