Come and join the OAC ah

C says there was snow at Mammoth until June last year, so I'm going SKIING!!! Heheh, this is gonna be like the best thing in the longest time! Last time I hit the slopes was in 2004, and I think it was Donner ski ranch, not exactly the best place in the world!

So I've been training up by going skating. I'm skating today, and tomorrow also. As I was skating today there was this guy who was stroking and gliding BACKWARDS!! Basically he was skating backwards faster than most people can skate forward, and that's no joke man! And he looks behind too OMG! That's one trick I gotta learn man. Otherwise the weather was absolutely fantastic, and I wish I could stay another hour, but lunch beckoned and I had to head to the museum in the afternoon.

So what was I doing at the museum? I signed up for volunteering and they wanted to talk to me about what I wanna do. I was up for the History gallery guide position except I'm gonna be in California when the training starts (ouch). It turns out that the docents for the history gallery really got to know lotsa stuff man. Got to do own research and all too! Anyway, looks like I'm gonna do the architectural tours as well as the special exhibits which is pretty darn cool too!

Later in the evening I met up with some OAC alumni for chinese new year dinner. And they were all so young man! Most of them were 06/07, I'm 96/97 which is like 10 years ago man! But its good to hear they are still quite enthusiastic. It always worried me that kids today might regress in their enthusiasm of outdoor adventure. Especially after the unfortunate accident that happened to the RJ ODAC.... But anyway, all's good. And really brought back good memories of happy days. Here's some good 'ol OAC songs to reminisce (though I might have lost some lyrics):

Chou nan ren, chou nan ren
Every morning we see you
Play carrom, ti soccer
We're not happy to see you!

I ask my love
To take a walk
To take a walk
Down Orchard Road
Bypass Mandarin
To Centerpoint
We had our lunch
At McDonald

We had filet
And apple pie
We shared a cup
Of lemon lime
I hold her hand
Look into her eyes
I ask her to be
My valentine

There was one night
There was no light
There was no light
So we use torchlight
Under the clear blue sky
Under the bright moonlight
I ask her to be
My future wife

***************************

How long can we wait for our fighting to end?
How long can we wait for our love to begin?
Oh can't you see we can't wait for forever to start
Together, forever we are one

Together, together we are one
One body one army we are one
United we stand, divided we fall
Together forever, all for one and one for all!
