Adeline's Birhtday Party!!!
Adeline Gong is 21 already. Finally considered an adult. But does things change? I say no! Cos I still will bully her and she makes a very nice bullying target, hahaha!!!
After that debate on Saturday, all of us rushed down to PJ to celebrate Adeline's b'day. She is hosting a birthday party and the reason she did not come with us to adjudicate for the tournament was : she needs to prepare food for the party.
So we drove down to PJ, tailing after Richard again. And we reached her hse at 8, which is very late actually, considering the party started at 6.30. We had fellowship, we sat around discussing the debate, then it's games time!!!!
It started out with everyone sitting in one big circle. And the game which is so damn hilarious is actually a game created by ... hm... joanne izzit? Adeline? This game starts off with a person in the center, calling out either 'James Bond' or 'Toilet Bowl' or 'William Hung' at another person. And this person and the people on his left and right was to do something, depending what is being called.
James Bond - the person is to act like James Bond while the people on his sides were to be like the Bond girls and make sexy noises as they hug him.
Toilet Bowl - the person is to act like he is having constipation while the people on his sides were to flush it.
William Hung - the person is to act like William Hung, singing She Bangs while the people on his sides scream "WILLIAM HUNG" like some maniacal fans.
So at first, this guy was called out to be James Bond and Shi Ching happened to be on his side, so Shi Ching put on a really melodramatic Bond girl act, even running his leg up the guy's legs. Then Sheena was called to be Toilet Bowl and man, she really looked like she had trouble getting rid of the feces in her. Hehehe...
After a few rounds of that, we finally have another game which we call the Question Game. But we were first divided into 2 groups: IMU and Adeline Church friends. We, the m2/03ians gathered round and did our cheer with Sheena leading us.
We are, we are,
M2 - ow! - 03 - ow!
We were like trying to frighten the church people.
Sheena: Everyone say, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Which all of us did!
Then there was the debate whether Collin is in our group or theirs as he is IMU and yet attend the Church. It was a simple solution.
Yee Pei: Do you spend more time in IMU or your Church?!
Ouch, that is so true. But then one can easily argue, as I pointed out: Do you spend more time in Christ or in IMU?
But I digress.
The game goes like this:
1. A scenario is first given.
2. Then the two actors will then act out their parts, and their lines are to be questions only. No statements whatsoever.
3. The loser is the person who is the first to make a statement, or hesistate.
Example: A husband comes back home late at night. The wife questions him.
Wife: Why you come back so late?
Husband: Why must you know?
Wife: Don't you know you must answer to me?
Get the drift?
IMU people were quiet gungho. We after all have four debaters on our side. The debaters started practicing, going:
Is there a need for it?
Is this the way to go about it?
Why this mechanism?
So the first person to go up is Sheena (our star debater) and this guy named Chu Way.
The scenario: The girl is sitting on the bench looking at the beautiful moon. The guy comes along to court her.
(Sheena actually likes the guy. And the guy looks a bit like Ericsson Chia.)
CW: (walking confidently towards Sheena) Hey, is that the moon?
S: Aren't the stars shining brightly tonight?
Blah...blah...blah...
S: Why are you asking all this questions?
CW: What questions?
S: Don't you love me?!!!
CW: Don't you already know?!!!
S: Do you like breaking my heart?!!
Adeline's uncle came up to pretend to hit the guy.
CW: Why did you ask your father to hit me?!
S: Isn't he YOUR dad?!
CW: It is your dad, right?
S: Is that your mother too?
CW: Isn't that your mother?!
S: Did you ask all your relatives to come and watch too?!
Sufficient to say, Sheena won. You guys should be there to see the actors expression.
Then of course who can forget TJ who is so cool and calm.
The scenario: The brother steals his sister doll. The sister interrogate him for it.
Girl: Why did you take my doll?
TJ: (hands across chest, leaning against pillar looking all cool) What doll?
Girl: You like my doll izzit?
TJ: What is the proof I stole your doll?
Girl: Why are you denying it?
TJ: What proof do you have that I'm denying it?
I couldn't remember much for it is too funny. Ask TJ to tell you bout it, no? TJ lost on technicalities. He hesitated for a moment. But then it was one of the best shows.
And of course, your captain went up there too to fight.
The scenario: The children playing on the seesaw. The girl fell off. THe mother comes to scold the boy and the two children pushed accusation at each other.
Me: Why you let me fall down?!
Boy: Why you sit on seesaw then?
Me: Cannot meh?
I don't really remember what i said too, but I won!!! And i get to challenge Adeline to a match.
The scenario: You are at Adeline's party and people are staring at you. You speak to Adeline about it.
Me: Why is everyone staring at me?
Adeline: Why you so perasan?
Me: You do know when people are like staring at you right?
Adeline: Don be so perasan can or not?
Blah... blah... blah...
Me: Is there a NEED for this conversation?
Adeline: Don't you know you started it?
Me: Is this the WAY to go about it? Is this the WAY you treat your friend?!
The last two questions are essential questions in a debater's speech, so there you have two debaters going against each other. And we were like tangoing back and forth. Everytime we ask a question, we move forward, while our oppoent moves back. And vice versa. And it was a tie with both of us too overcame by laughter to continue.
Then we had the cake, singing loudly and laughing. And then of course the M2/03 tradition. Where we push the candle deep into the cake and get the B'day girl to pull it out. And so she did! And with such expertise that she did not get any cream on her nose at all. Not fair!!!
It was about 11.30 when we finally started moving. For the debaters, it was a really tiring day. But it was fun. And Adeline told me that her parents find me cute, but naughty. Hmm... wonder how to take that.
And I just realise sth. I left my Tshirt in her hse. DAMN!
Anyway, Adeline, you are 21, but nothing changes for I still like bullying you. And I dedicate this short anecdote to you.
Once upon a time, there was this village deep in the mountains. In the village square there was a large gong that was rung every good occasion. The villagers call this gong, Adeline.
Know the shame of your own ignorance before you accuse others.
