Today's the IA X'mas party which was held at Shawn's place. At first it was only Xintian, Egan, Fabian, Marcus, Shawn and his sister. Being my first time meeting them (i missed the SC camp and orientation dry-run because i wasnt in S'pore), i obviously felt awkward, hence i merely spoke a word. It was quite boring for me then, but they were pretty welcoming towards me. :DPlayed monopoly with them before we started cooking. Egan helped me cheat, silently. Haha! I landed thrice on Marcus' (who later pathetically only had $1 left) properties but i kept quiet. No one else noticed except Egan. So he helped me keep mum too. And i once supposedly landed on Marcus' railway station, but Egan helpfully pushed my car to the next property which belonged to Fabian and was far cheaper than Marcus'. Haha! Thanks, Egan. Slowly, more people came. A lot of people seemed to know my name very clearly, probably because i was the only IA who didnt turn up for both the important events. Omg im feeling so guilty. Anyway, Florence and Regina finally came at around 7pm. It was sort of the first time i really chatted with them. They're really friendly people. Oh and Florence couldnt stop eating. Met many nice SCs who were really nice to us. We played Blow Wind Blow, Murderer and that passing of bottle game. The aims of these games were to finish up all the food. Haha crap. So there were games, gift exchange, smearing of cake, Regina spilling drinks, Yixiang's rabbit, photographs and meeting of new friends. Not bad. :D:D Took a train back with Cassandra Ng, another SC whom i just got to now. She's really nice to talk to, in the sense that we could keep our conversation flowing. So that's about it. Meeting with Puiying tomorrow for lunch. ;)
