Outing!

Hello everyone I miss you all ): now that promos are over (for most of us at least), let's start looking into our next outing/bfeste :D I was thinking along the lines of 2 or 3rd October, since we only have that PW OP lecture. We have to think about whether we'll have class chalet (yes! yes!) or not, apart from the very important catching up AND gossiping session -squeals- That's all I can think about for now. Please TAG with your comments, thanks in advance (:

PULLOVERS ARE HERE! :D

Freezing LTs will be a thing of the past :D

The material is damn warm and nice. But BE WARNED when you take the pullover off you'll be covered in red fluff. The printer dood says it'll only be like that for the first few washes, so fret not. And don't be alarmed by the font colour.. its pinker than expected xP but its NICEEE!

If you're really desperate for you pullover, please find these people :

(For the smart people, the person on the left is distributing pullovers to the people on the right.)

Yunting: Olly, Si Pei, Zhi Xian, Tian Fei
Sorn: Sherry, Ink, Nat, YY, Sandra
Zhi Ying: Claire, Yu Xuan, Chng, Tiddy, Qiu Ping, C. Lee, Sheena
Adeline: Yu Min, Arathi, Dharsh, Ping Fang
Yi Kai: Pei Ting, Xuan Ni, Jolene, Elaine, Jasmine

But if you're not that desperate, you can just wait for them to come find you :P

Oh and on a side note, I wrote my name on the back of mine with fabric paint so that I won't lose it or confuse it with someone else. So if anyone else is interested, tell me, then I'll bring my fabric paint tmw. This is recommended for people with multiple 408-ers in their current classes :P

And everyone MUST wear their pullovers in lectures k?? We must look cool taking the LTs by storm xD

<3 Sorn

Heyo! Um here's the receipt for pullover order for your reference... and in case you don't trust me. Hehe.

Pullovers!

Hello!
I have ordered and paid a deposit for the pullovers already :D
they'll be ready on Tuesday, 19th August.
They won't be delivered so we have to go collect them.
Since my lessons end late (3.45) on tues, I was thinking we can go collect them on wed instead.
I will need A Lot Of Help carrying them, so everyone and anyone who is free on Wed after assembly, drop me a line and we can meet up.
The place is just at Novena, a 6min mrt ride away. So we'll take less than an hour to go there and bring the pullovers back to sch.

Oh and I sent an sms out, but in case you didn't get it, each pullover costs $31. We (Zhiying and Sorn) will be collecting it on Tuesday, 12th August at the flagpoles, BEFORE assembly..
I really need your cooperation for this cos I paid the $300 deposit from my own pocket so basically my bank account is very empty now.
If you can't make it to the flagpoles on tuesday morning, you can just pay either Zhiying or me when you see us around school, that's fine too. Just make sure you pay within this week.

Oh and the ppl who didn't sms me with your size in time, I made an intelligent guess of your size. So here are the sizes I got yall:

• Qiu Ping-S
• Yu Min-S
• Zhi Ying-M
• Pei Ting-S
• Chng-S
• Arathi-M
• Ink-S
• Jolene-S
• Tiddy-XS
• PF-M
• Sandra-S
• C. Lee-M
• Xian-S
• Claire-S
• Laine-S
• YunTing-S
• Dharsh-M
• Adel-S
• YuXuan-S
• Nat-M
• Olly-M
• Slum-M
• YY-XS
• Sorn-M
• Sheena-M
• SiPei-S
• YK-S
• Xuanni-S
• Jasmine-S
• Tian Fei-M
• Mr Funelas-M
• Mr Thio-L
  

If there really is a problem with your size you can make a mutual swop with someone if possible. I hope they're alright, I tried my best.

Yup that's about it. In a week from now, we will take the lecture theatres by storm and say goodbye to unbearably cold lectures :D

Cheers!

More on the pullover

In case you're having troubles deciding what size to take,

I'm wearing a M here. (My PE shirt size is 38) It's quite big actually, and the sleeves are long. But that's how pullovers generally are so shrugs. I won't recommend getting XS. Yi Kai tried one and it was slightly tight for her. So we should all fall within S and M.

As for the colour, the small sample is the actual colour. I tried to find a green similar to our skirt so it should turn out that way. Hope you like what you see (: Err if you don't, too bad.

More photos from yesterday coming soon. Have a great weekend!

PULLOVER UPDATES!

Ok I am OFFICIALLY going to CONFIRM (plus chop)order the pullovers tomorrow.

Details abt the pullover:

• It will be Very Nice
• It will be in class tee colours :D
• it will be v-neck
  
• it a nice fluffy, warm material
• It will cost $30-$32 each, I will confirm tmw. Zhiying will be collecting it from you next week. Please pay promptly! cos I have to pay a $300 deposit tmw so if you don't pay I'll be broke! :(
• The pullovers will take around 10 working days (from tmw) to be ready!!
  
• Sizes follow roughly PE shirt sizes:

36=XS
38=S
40=M
42=L

I strongly suggest that you stick to your pe shirt sizes cos the printer will automatically make it slightly bigger since its a pullover and pullovers are meant to be a bit oversized. And I really don't think anyone should take L cos it'll be huge.
If you haven't gotten the msg, msg me your size ASAP, or I'll decide for you. I'm heading to the printer after lunch tmw (sat)

Ok you can start being excited now! :D:D

p.s. If you msg me to tell me your size and I don't reply don't be sad! I'm trying to save on msges here. So here's a big thankyou to everyone who replied promptly!

Excitement

First, HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY 408. Ah so exciting. Remember the cake we had after HMT prelims last year?

Yes, that's the cake! Does this jolt back any part of your memory?

Clap and sing haha. I'm sorry I don't have a class photo taken then. It's in someone's phone though, can't remember who.

To my point, just a reminder, in case you've been living in a little shell:
Date: 080808
Time: 0800hrs (how about 0808hrs!)
Attire: 408 shirt, with some (comfortable) bottom, duh

Are you eighcited??

YES of course! :D

Like the humongous one said, remind everyone you see in the corridor, canteen, LT, toilet, hall, photocopy shop etc etc etc. I've been faithfully doing that heehee. Don't tell me you don't know about this Friday's excitement. I'll conk you on your head.

We'll probably head for lunch after that. Mmhmm, how about walking to Wafer Town? Jasmine suggested having Macs breakfast so we can totally relive those glorious Options days (: Tag with comments! Oh yeah, think about what we can do after that. I know we won't ever get bored with each others' company since a spontaneous BFeste is likely to occur, but let's think of activities to do anyway. Eh don't tell me we're watching a movie.

Some basic activities we can consider:
1. Terrorise our favourite ex-teachers
2. Play floorball in D451 with brooms, dustpans, and a ball of paper
3. Camwhore like mad outside D451, on the lockers, at the ledge
4. Have a long overdue BFeste

Uh okay that's as far as my brain can take me tonight. I suspect it'll eventually be a combination of 3 and 4. Come on, I know ryou could do so much better (think: Girlfriend) (:

PS. I MISS YOU 408!

Hellooo!

Hey besides a pullover right, (WHICH IS COMING SOON...) me and my friends were looking for stuff to make a clique necklace and I thought why not have a class necklace? :D Its quite cheap if we make it ourselves. Like a chain with "4", "0" and "8" charms attached to it. And since we have very talented classmates *ahem, jo!* it might just be possible! That would be quite cool right. And we can get the stuff for quite cheap. They sell chains for $3.20/m which is enough for 2 ppl. And there are pretty charms for <$1 I think.

Any comments/ideas?

p.s. I miss all of you!! can't wait to see yall on trip8 (:

happy.

hello friends!

exciting wor.
(postin cos lum's feeling lonely. haha.)

anyway. MUST come this FRIDAY K!

not just cos it's the first anniversary of our funky cool 408 float.
n not cos it's the first day of olympics.

but cos it's a COOL fourohEIGHT'S gathering on the EIGHTH day of the EIGHTH month of the year twoohohEIGHT and fourohEIGHT'S gonna celebrate together!!!!!!!!!

(as much as it falls during the 7th lunar mth. heh...)

Updates

NEWSFLASH: we're having a gathering
Date: 080808
Day: Friday (no lessons for us hooray)
Venue: RGS
Event: National Day celebs (remember our float last year? :D)
Time: To be confirmed

Now be excited (: Hope to see you all there! As for our pullover, we haven't forgotten about our clever design. If you all noticed, there's a J2 class with a maroon V-neck pullover, which is what we've been looking for. They just got theirs printed from a local supplier, so we're trying to contact the same one. Till then, patience shall be our virtue.

Here are photos from long long ago.

Yu Xuan's birthday surprise at Rafflesia. Day of math CTs.

Mini class lunch and Si Pei's birthday celebration.

Sherry's birthday.

A spontaneous BFeste one fine Wednesday.
Ooh many of us are free after school on Wednesdays till around 2pm, so we can form a regular lunch group! Btw there's a weekly Friday lunch group too - mostly members of munchin mamas, who plan to turn into muggin mamas. Feel free to join them anyway (:

Pei Ting and Tian Fei's birthdays.

That's all for now. Please update too :D It gets quite boring reading the things I write heh.

class outing!

Hey! I have a suggestion!! Tell me its brill! Since 7 of us (I think) are meeting up this sunday for lunch before the mayday matinee, we should justmake it an official class outing. So everyone can be invited for lunch whether or not you're going for mayday! What yall say? comment faster cos not much tahme.

Oh, I hope you see this in time! All the best to all the GP kids tmw! (like everyone else :P)

Pullover updates

The first things people greet Sorn/me with have been "when are our pullovers coming?", "are our pullovers here yet?" We ocassionally get random factual nuggets like "I've been freezing my ass off in the LT!" or "my crazy classmates like to make the aircon to 16degrees when I'm already freezing lah!" ah you get the idea.

Well hello one and all, the pullovers are not here yet -gasps-The previous sample was for us to confirm the choice of material. The supplier will be getting a nicer colour for us, then he'll email us a picture of the sample soon. Immediately after that, the pullovers will be printed and sent over. Sounds simple enough right (: Patience is a virtue, make it yours today! We estimate that the pullovers will be ready by Term 3. Yuppiex that's all for now.

Birthday

Photos from today, Addy's birthday!

Of course, we can't run away from our signature eight or left/right hand rule :p

We look forward to better turn out at the next gathering (:

Pullover layout

Yo! Here's the pullover layout that the printer did for me. Last chance for feedback.. Otherwise, simply for your information (:

Pullover.. again! :P

Hey! this is the final final final design for pullover and I'm confirming the order alr! xD




I totally forgot how chio class tee colours are xD

Oh and these are the confirmed sizes for pullover:


For some, who didn't reply to my msg in time (namely tiddy and tianfei) I took the liberty of deciding on your size for you. Hope you like it xP

Pullover sizes

Hello friends,
this is the "receipt" for our pullover. Pls ignore the colours and back design. Not updated yet. Yea just look at the sizes. There are only two of the sizes available, M and L. So choose one and sms me (sorn) with your choice ASAP if you haven't yet told me. Pls coorporate with me on this cos the faster we get it done the faster we can get printing. I'm so glad our design and colours have been settled! Thank you all those who came down early on monday morning! I really appreciate that! :D



<3

pullover.. final installment

hello folks! after much deliberation during bfeste, we came up with these awesome!! colours. And yea this will be the confirmed designs (I made the "408's" and "like that" smaller still.)
Front:


Back:


If you've got any comments like you think the shade of red/orange is wrong or there's something you wanna change about the design tell me FAST, cos I'm gna call the printer on saturday xD

<33

BFESTE

Hello! Here's a reminder to everyone or for those who weren't aware for some reason, BFESTE for March is gonna be TOMORROW! THURSDAY. And I think we'll do final discussion and confirm stuff for pullover. So if we end up with a hot pink pullover and you weren't there to vote against it, don't complain! xD Can't wait to see yall!!

<3

Birthday

Here's the photo we took today whilst celebrating Olly's birthday! We had a grand total of 24/30 people present, though only 22 are caught in the photo. 22 is a nice number by the way xD Oh for those who were wondering, the cake is chocolate tiramisu (from Sweet Secrets). Ask me online or smth if you want a photo with better resolution.

back of pullover

How's this for the back? Or should I cut down on fonts?

blonded like that (:

Presenting.... -drumroll-
My design for blonded like that which I spent one billion hours on and one billion days thiking about. I hope you like. But if you don't its ok :)
Inspiration was from our facebook profile.

It made me truly appreciate the art of drawing stick figures :P

[edit]
Ok I worked on it a bit to make it look more legible. Hope it helps.

[/edit]

blonded like that

Hey I found some fonts for blonded like that. Choose!

Together until stupid

Good evening starshines, the earth says hello! I'm here to post on blogger for the second time in my life so it'll be quite a miracle if this post appears as desired.

Anyway, if your memory can take you back to two years ago, it was just the start of threeohohoheight. Now that seems like eons ago doesn't it? If your memory takes you any further than two years ago, it was OBS! Kayak until stupid, eat until stupid, together until stupid.. Hah I hope that rings a bell now. I'm all OBSsy because many of us (Cook people) met Nat today, our OBS instructor. She's leading some class camps till the end of March so do say hi if you see her around school (: She remembers most our names, or at least parts of them!

Ah ha I dug out this photo, in loving memory of Cook. I'm sorry if you hate having your face being shown up here :p

Okay that's all I have for now. It's already March, time for Bitchfeste #3! Birthdays are also round the corner (don't forget Blue Cherry, the Flienster impersonator), so we'll definitely meet up some time soon yeah -nods-

Whee!

LOL. Ppl go look at fouroheight's facebook wall (link is on the right) Mr Thio left a msg. It will crack you up for sure xD. Pls go look for comic relief.

<3
p.s. can we have a proper 408 gathering on next wed(after sch)/thurs/fri. I'm having withdrawal symptoms )x And we need some respite after all our lecture/tutorial tests and term papers right? =D What y'all think?

Cost of pullover

I enquired with wahmee (the class-t-shirt.com ppl) about the cost of the pullover. They said that if we use 2-3 colours for printing, it'll cost $25. I'm asking again if it will be any less if we only use one colour cos I don't think our design will need more than one colour (right?). Yep. But the downside is that the only base colours they have is black, white, grey and navy blue. So we can't have any of the interesting colours. The wahmee ppl are the ones who printed 209's pullovers but apparently the cost has risen since then. Unfortunately, I don't think the Toa Payoh uncle prints pullovers. He only does T-shirts. I think if you want him to print pullovers must buy on our own first which is quite hard to find! If any of y'all know places that may have better prices and more choices of colours tell me k! Let's hope to get this printed by the end of the term! :D

pullover design

Ok since we were on the topic of fate, I thought of hanging dice. So I came up with this. Tell me what yall think

pullover updates

Ok pullover progress is quite slow since we're still waiting for survey responses to come in. 19 people have responded to date. Good job! But due to urgency, I'll close the survey on monday, 25th feb and we'll make do with what we have there. Things that are more or less confirmed are:

1. that we're using "FeightED never faded" as our slogan, due to popular demand. Though other suggestion y'all might wanna consider are "together until stupid" and "blonded like that"
2. We'll be having the thicker material instead of the thinner one.

These are subject to change until monday. So if enough people vote otherwise by monday, then it will be changed. But I think it's unlikely since the above mentioned stuff was far more in demand than the alternative.

Things that are in a close fight are:

1. Colour. Black is still more popular. But there were plenty of interesting suggestions that we should seriously consider. So I'll just create a poll by the sidebar with all the suggestions. Since its just one qn don't need another survey lah :P But make sure you vote! (I would personally like to sell the colour brown! It is awesome with green and it just looks classy and unique without being too striking and overbearing xD)
2. Collar. V-neck is winning! But still some people raised their concern that we should choose the collar based on the design so we can choose a collar that fits the design better. So I will postpone the confirmation of collar until after the final design is out. Then yall can choose to change your vote if necessary.
3. Front design. Although most want the design to be incorporated into the words(like 408 class tee), some are concerned that this will bring attention away from the awesome slogan and it will look less dramatic. So we'll just keep this open and see how it goes.
4. Back design. Some ppl think we should confirm collar first which kinda makes sense. Some people suggested we have it personalised (think 209o5's pullover. they had names.) it might be quite ex. but we can find out from the 209 ppl how much and where they printed. Some people suggested reusing the planet from back of class tee/class painting. That will be quite cute. But I suggest we use the simpler version like in the painting cos the one from class tee may make the pullover look too cluttered.
   

Yes, in other news,
people who volunteered for Bday comm: fang, chng
people who volunteered for pubs: slum, yk, xian
welfare is EMPTY

c'mon ppl! volunteer! and bday com can start thinking about the next birthday! Birthdays coming next month: olly-15th, jolene-16th, nat-28th

Yes and can yall be abit more responsive! Like blog or tag or comment or sth. I feel like I'm the only one here half the time ><

Doodlez

Yo friends! I was bored doing homework (who isn't) so I started doodling on the foolscap and came up with this. I thought the f(eight)ed looks better sans the brackets. Yea the fonts are quite messy but that's my basic idea. Oh and I didn't bother with a font for never. What y'all think?

for fouroheight

i have.

just.

one word.

YAY!

X)

Hello! :D

Hello friends! There has been a sudden surge of love and enthusiasm for 408 from a lot of us and we've been having a whole bunch of informal meetings and a lot of people don't get notified, much to their disappointment. So this blog will serve as a channel of communication. We will announce meetings, post pictures, rant, make suggestions and anything else you want to do here. I've added every single fouroheight person on my msn contact list here which should be everyone unless you changed your email add without my knowledge ><

Oh yes I think we should have commitees to make things easier:

Birthday comm. To make sure everyone's birthday is celebrated and no one ages unnoticed ><

Publicity comm. To publicise events, gatherings, breakfasts, lunches, dinners. Make sure everyone turns up and drag them kicking and scratching if necessary.

Welfare comm. To initiate welfare stuffs and propose ideas for gatherings/receive ideas from the rest of the class and make them work.

Treasury. To collect random change that we get from restaurants after paying the bill and cannot account for.

Secretary. To minute/post-mortem events and gatherings. (I volunteer :D)

Yeap that should be it. Ppl please volunteer for the positions! (This is scarily reminiscent of Munchin' Mamas)

* (Please scroll to the bottom of this post to do a COMPULSORY but short and easy survey.)

1. Class pullover!

Yes! We're going to be the first ever sec four class to have our very own pullover in jc cos we're cool like that. We decided on a pullover instead of a t-shirt since RJ LTs generally have arctic conditions so a pullover is most practical. And we can parade our fouroheightness around the freezing LTs with pride! This is the most urgent issue because we all want our fouroheight brand pullovers asap. So pls cooperate and respond to the poll!
We decided that a black base would go best with green and white, for obvious reasons. But it was also suggested by pf that if we have a more unique colour we'll stand out and then fouroheight will be so easy to spot! xD
We also debated about whether to have a hood (cos hoodies are just cool) or to have a v-neck (cos v-necks will look really good with a collared blouse).
Lastly, we discussed the cool slogan we should have on the pullover and Yunting the genius (for once) DB suggest " F(eight)ed never faded" to which the entire table went "awwwww!" Yea we all think its a really cool slogan! xD But of course, we're open to new suggestions!

2. Class ORA!


We badly want to be back in business! Doing ORA together will be a great way to bond. Plus, we need to raise all the funds we can if we're chalet-ing again this year! So we have decided. The question in the survey asking if you want to have ORA is REDUNDANT. We just wanna see how interested y'all are :P

3. Class chalet!

We will have class chalet the second this year. This time we have been promised more roomy and comfy premises at quite a low price($70 I think). We'll try to organise better so we have a programme and it'll be funner.

Yup and the rest of the day was spent ranting about how much fouroheight is missed!

Click Here to take survey asap because we really need to get started on the pullover. (fellow cads- dharsh/sipei, your help would be appreciated!)

Ok that's a super long first entry. I will minute previous meetings some other time ><
Cheeers!
