lesson #89: poster child?

Went to Sentosa with G yesterday. Actually, for the first one and a half hours we were settling his Asoc stuff. G has grand plans - he wants to be the president of SMU's Accountancy Association (Asoc). Hence his great involvement in the planning of the organisation's activities. This particular event is a 'retreat' or in layman's terms an orientation camp for the coming Accountancy freshies. He plans to hold it in Sentosa and so we were at Costa Sands yesterday checking out the chalets which he wants to book for overnight stay. Were driven to Sentosa by Alvan, a senior.


After countless negotiations and after Alvan left, we made our way to the beach, where he continued to answer important calls in which the phrases 'my finance side' and 'a thousand four hundred, fifty by cheque' came oft from his mouth. I was bored stiff.



'Oh yes, yes, yes... I see. So is it possible for my finance side to send you the cheque latest by Friday?'


After a while, the important calls stopped coming and we were able to really start suntanning.



Suntanning by the bamboo pole.



Suntanning by the palm trees.


After a thorough suntanning*, we went to Plaza Sing to eat a late lunch. Bought a nice turtleneck sweater from U2 for just $13. It's honestly a great bargain! Please do snap it up. It fits well!


When we got back, my fingers felt a bit itchy so I played around with Photoshop and came up with these 'posters' for G's freshie camp, 'Absolut U'. Basically I just added words onto the photos.








We thought it was pretty funny so G sent them to some people in his freshie camp committee and also to Alvan, and Alvan said, 'Well, that's our posters settled'. I totally didn't intend to suddenly be making actual posters for them. But apparently I did. Not sure if they'll really use them though. Weird how one thing leads to another. Things just move so fast sometimes that you're only half aware of them happening!


* Banana Boat's Suntannical is amazing. I got an even tan and the lotion doesn't stink / smell like sunscreen at all. It smells kinda fruity-tutty. Get the SPF 15 one at $14.90, it smells nice!
