Saturday Times

What a weekend, or should I say what a Saturday. It was the first time that I joined a eating competition, and to be exact, boneless chicken rice competition, held by the Chinatown Business Association at Kereta Ayer Square. The total number of contestants was around 80, though the target was actually around 300, however it was still quite an experience, as I tested my limit in eating the number of bowls of the rice within ten minutes. 5 was the number, though I should have eaten 1 or 2 more, if I had not eaten lunch earlier. However, it was no use as the winning or should I say the number eaten by 5 of those 40 in the round who qualified was mostly around 8 bowls, even for those in the next and last round. I was stunned actually by an ordinary uncle sitting just beside me during the round that he was eating the 7th bowl when I was just eating the 3rd, and he eventually qualified. And there was an aunty that I thought she was a big liar, when she told me before the competition that she was very full, and she actually ate 8 and a half bowls during the round. Nevertheless, it was a great experience, and hope those friends mine like Weiming, Guangquan and Smauel enjoyed the competition.

After which, I decided to join the seniors of Hall 5 in going through the rehearsal of Fright Nite at the old Commando Camp in Changi. It was the 3rd time during my years in Hall 5 that we had used the site for the purpose. However, I should say it was the best plot compared to the rest of the other 2. And also, I should emphasize that it was the 1st time that I went through the rehearsal as an ordinary senior, not as one of the actors in the plot, as I was always one of those for the last 3 years. Good job Havocers and may your camp be a success!
