xiexie.
In my humble opinion, though I'm the organiser, I would love to organise the party EVERY 6 MONTHS, provided I am free and allowed to by my Heavenly Father and earthly parents. The reason being: I will miss those that are close to heart that will not be going to the same school as I am. No prizes for guessing who. I HOPE JEAN & SR GET INTO RGS!!!
Here's the PLAN:
Date: Right after exams, before the holidays begin so people are still in town. On Fridays/weekends.
Time: If friday, 3-6/7pm. If weekends, 1-6/7pm.
Venue: Outdoors this time. Allow me to suggest two BIG PARKS and point out their pros and cons...
1. East Coast Park. A gigantic park along the East Coast of Singapore which has a nice beach, long & straight cycling/rollerblading paths and a McDonalds for tea/lunch/dinner. A bit boring.
2. West Coast Park. A slightly-smaller-than-East Coast Park park along the West Coast of Singapore which has a kind-of-polluted beach and faces Jurong Island (I think... so no beauiful scenery), shorter & curvier cycling/rollerblading paths BUT HAS A GIGANTIC 'PLAYGROUND' which is actually a UBER-FUN OBSTACLE COURSE, A PYRAMIAD AND OTHER ULTRA-FUN STUFF. Like East Coast Park, it also has a McDonalds for tea/lunch/dinner but I think it isn't skate-in...
Programme: If East Coast, skate/cycle/skateboard around while talking and SR can bring her Twister to play by the beach. If West Coast, we probably won't move around much, just climb around the obstacle courses and play Twister in an open area.
Things to bring: Water, Bike/Skates/Skateboard + Safety gear if East Coast, $$$ for rental of stuff/safety gear and FOOD.
How is that? Okay? Do give ideas/suggestions/objections though I know this is VERY VERY EARLY. Just want to test the waters. Do note that we face two problems:
1. Indemnity. Parks are slightly more dangerous, so how do we handle cases if people get injured? We must let parents agree that allowing their children to go will make them totally responsible for their own safety.
2. Weather. Do we just sit around in McDonalds if it rains? What do we do if it's too hot and someone faints/gets sunstroke?
Tag regarding this matter. Would appreciate. xiexie
