THIS IS HOW FRENI (ROCK AND) ROLL

Remember me promising you that sweeeeet entry like many entries back? Well, it’s done. So hold onto your jaw, eight deep breaths, and here we go:

And I give you….

THE FRENI CLAN:

Because you see, all good shit starts with F- Fridays, Facebook, F21, FHM, and Fox….as in Megan.

So naturally, Freni isn’t really any different, we are the kind of donuts in the donut box that people discreetly elbow each other out of the way so they get first dibs. We are like that last slice of cake that you want so much you would tell your BFF that you think she’s putting on weight so that you can have it.

(Yeah it’s 1238am and I didn’t have dinner today so excuse my analogies. I have a one track mind thanks.)

But anyway, that’s besides the point. We are beyond kick-ass, so take it and go.

Now a for a better virtual handshake,

This is Walter. You call him Walts cos it saves time and nobody would think you are just thirsty. In the darkest of times, I turn towards him….mainly because he will be the only one I can see. As you can see, Walts here have a distinctive fashion sense and colors are his thing. And I’m talking All Kind Of Colors, even colors you have never seen before in your entire life. The guy loves shopping, and he’d probably own your ass in it.

Hi, you should probably right-click on this photo and save it in your computer for years to come because this is probably the only time you get to see ShiHui in a dress. Athletic, tanned and toned, she could have worked a bikini. But then again, we will never know because hell will freeze over before we will ever see her in one. Frilly girl stuff isn’t her thing, she will rather win you in basketball and she probably will too. And oh, her temper is practically non-existent. Nothing short of setting her house on fire is going to take away the smile that’s always hanging around.

The girl’s into Photography and all things that begin with P. But setting that aside, Lizzie is a limited edition and one-of-a-kind, which is a serious pity seeing how everyone seem to need her for one thing or another in everything- design, drama, photographer, and I can’t keep track. It’s not always a good thing to be so damn apt in so many things sometimes, (that’s why I chose to be selectively skilled HAH.) But moving on with Life, Liz is out resident OG photobug, so she is going to be the one immortalizing all your candid (read: CUI) moments in camp…and posting them. Bribery can be negotiated. Alternatively, you can play kiss-up.

And here we are, your OGLs. How do we even start, oh no wait, we don’t. If you need to know more, go check out Who Are We, under OGLs. Or just click on all Freni-related posts. You see a whole lot of Love going on there, no seriously, we are absolutely enamored with each other. Till death do us part and all that jazz, we have chemistryzzzz.

So here you go, the low-down on the Freni clan. It’s not exactly very detailed but if you want to know us a little better, well, wish fervently you got selected into Freni then! Good things are worth the wait, didn’t you hear? ;)

Till then,

Coming Into A FOC Near You.

(Written by Tze, posted by Lizzy because Tze's connection is CUI. We'd just like to thank the awesome CHANG for taking these kickass pictures! Chang was our photobug last year. Unfortunately, I am not Chang, so please be kind to me if/when I post cui pictures of you. -Lizzy)

Transformers: More than meets the eye.

HAYY FRESHIES.

This will be my first non-work related entry in which I'm actually not nagging at anyone to hand in anything! (But pls do register or face the possibility of over/undersized tshirts!)

Anyway this is a FRENI related post from your friendly Freni senior Lizzy! Fwooooot!

Me and the orientation machine (Mr Tay LIDE) were editing in school today, and Lide REALLY REALLY like REALLY REALLY wanted to get that $27.90 Sideswipe Transformers toy that he's been raving for since like, weeks ago.

So we made a detour to Jurong Point (freshies you will unwillingly and unwittingly become very familiar with that place after a while) after the lab closed to go to Comics Connection, where, *drumroll*... Sideswipe was SOLD OUT.

So we walked into Kiddy Palace. (Quote Lide: I can't believe I'm walking into Kiddy Palace).
Full shelf-full of Transformer toys... but no Sideswipe!

(But he really, really, like really really wanted it.)

So guess where we ended up.
City Hall. And to Robinson. Again, no Sideswipe.

So we walked to Suntec City, hopeful that Toys'r'us (since it's Toys'r'us) would definitely have the precious loot... However. EVEN TOYS'R'US DIDN'T. (They did have the $219.90 Bumbleebee and $109.90 Optimus Prime that I drooled over though, hinthint.)

Last choice.

We walked into Carrefour.... (Lizzy muttering at this point in time that if here don't have then NO HOPE LIAO.)

AND.
There were almost no visible Sideswipes in sight.

Then Lide did the most uncle thing I have ever seen him do. And I've seen him do MANY uncle things in this lifetime:

He put down his backpack, went down on his knees, and started rumaging through the hidden bottom stack of Transformer toys for Sideswipes.

(You see Sideswipe in the bottom right because we placed him there after we finally re-packed everything neatly.)

We ended up with this:

(Lide looking darn pleased with himself after unearthing so many Sideswipes. 9 to be exact.)

We then spent the next 5 minutes comparing them to see which had the best paint job.

Then, Frenis, your GL, decided to be really GL (if you know what I mean). And started replacing every rack's toy with our newly discovered Sideswipes. (Which I still can't believe they intentionally hid away!)

Mission complete. Sideswipes for everyone! Yay! :)

So if you're a Transformers fan, go get your sexy Sideswipe before it runs out everywhere.
If not, just know that Lide will stop at nothing to get his heart's desire. (HAHA)

LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING ALL YOU FRENIS YOHHHH. :D
(and like, all the other freshies too, of course, la.)

More Freni adventures to come! (I mean, honestly, all the Freni seniors are quite uncle or aunty. Lide is uncle. Me, Tze, Shihui and Walter are aunty. But we love you with all our uncle/aunty hearts!)

P.S. I forgot to mention that Pedro is the biggest aunty in CS. If you need an umbrella, or tissue paper, or wet wipes, or hand sanitizer, he chop chop confirm will have one.

SHE'S SO LOVELY

would you believe me if i said there really are worse portrayals of me out there?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the world of WKWSCI is a female-dominated environment. the ladies here are simply lovely, just like my partner tze min. when you least expect it, they just present you with such endearing surprises like the post before this.

remember my boys. treat a lady like she should be. always be a gentleman.

being the gentleman i am, it would simply be ungracious of me to not introduce my partner to you people, as she has so nicely done for me. so pay close attention, frenis-to-be. presenting your OGL: tze.

you gotta admit it's hard to locate her in the third photo. when you find her, you will find out why her coiffure is mentioned in her official OGL introduction under WHO ARE WE?

isn't she lovely? i mean, tell me which guy doesn't want a girl with shower-head-as-mic-tendencies, fist-ingestion-capabilities and killer-hair?

well, putting aside our intense admiration for each other, here's a few photos of us in hope that you will know us better.

a moment of us during our own FOC :)

an unrealistic portrayal of relations.

our true identities.

we here at WKWSCI have got a whole lot prepared and to prepare, so we hope you're getting ready to join us 6-10 July. cos we sure are gearing ourselves now to give you a helluva experience!

we want you,

lide

A TTEN SHUN FRESHIES

FRENIS-to-be! Allow me to present you a lighter side of your OGL and my very charming partner.

Style, Sass, Spunk,....Suit: He has 'em all. Gotta love a man in a panda suit.

[A shoutout to Lide: Before you react passionately to my sweet little entry, please remember our precious friendship and that we had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun.... don't crush me, please.]

Scoooop!

Tzeeee

THIS IS FRENI ON THE LINE

Hieee to all potential Frenis in the making!

This is your neighborhood fren-ly (ooh excuse the pun I couldn't resist HAHA) b&js scoopy talking!

My dearest (and trust me, I hold him very very dearly to my heart...so very much that me thinks i'm developing heartburn) pard-nerrr has insisted we get the jump on everyone and christen this blog with this first OGL post.

But because not many of you know about this space yet and mainly because IamveryhungryIneedfoodnowthanks, this is going to just be a tiny little teaserr about us.

So as you see in the photoshoot (please ignore 3 very enthusiastic programmers in the photo tyvm), we share a very cordial and pleasant friendship, based on mutual respect and genuine friendly affections for each other.

But... take away the starched white shirts, camera crew, bright lights and Darlie smiles,

there is this undercurrent of...something else. Sigh, love/hate relationships such a complexity...Granted there are times I would like to throttle him with my hair and he would love to sit on me, but.... WE STILL TIGHT YO.

So don't worry your pretty heads, dear freshies! Your Freni OGLs are very very fond of each other (most of the time).

And we will definitely give you a kickass time!

Fun peace love icecream!
Tzeeeeeee

P.S Look out for our introduction of our awesome AGLs (assistant group leaders) soon!

Who are we?

Main Committee
OGLS
A Song For Viola Cast/Crew

OGLs

OG: Freni
OGLS: Lide & Tze Min

Lide (KUNG FU PANDA): He has bungeed in New Zealand, raided massage parlors in Toa Payoh, and mambo-ed in a panda suit. But his one weakness lies in Dragon Gate Dim Sum. His sheer size, enthusiasm and volume have earned him the nickname of “the Orientation Machine”. You’ll soon realize it is impossible not to feel at ease around one of the most fun (and huggable) seniors in school. If you fail to laugh in his presence, you have no sense of humour.

Tze Min (THE ACCIDENTAL KLUTZ): When she walks, the wind blows and the angels sing. Then she trips, falls, and her hair gets messed up. Suddenly the angels go out of tune. Little Miss Congeniality here digs Ben & Jerry’s for a living. That explains two things: Her saccharine personality, and how she can’t lift much else besides ice cream. Offer at every available opportunity to zip up her bag.

OG: Bocelli
OGLS: Pedro & Kaishi

Pedro (THE VAGUELY HOT BOD): He works in the zoo, loves his Wee Tees, and utilises more army equipment than any Singaporean male should. His jokes fluctuate from vaguely funny to absolutely lacking in humour (ed. However, Weiliang remains the King of I-Can-Stop-Global-Warming Cold Jokes), but remains one of the most enthusiastic and gungho persons in school. Practical jokes are his forte, but he usually ends up being the only one who laughs at them.

Kaishi (THE FORGETFUL BIMBO): Onstage, Kai exudes effortless grace, composure and heartfelt emotions. Offstage, she's affectionately dubbed 'bimbo' by her close peers. Known for getting lost, asking for directions, and still getting lost after her first week in school; klutzy and forgetful behaviour has been coined as 'doing a Kai'. Bimbotic nature aside, this brilliant dancer exudes a bubbly personality that is definitely contagious.

OG: Pavarotti
OGLS: Zhiyuan & Nuraini

Zhiyuan (THE INTENSE ACTOR): This FOC, Zhiyuan will make valiant attempts to outwit, outplay and outlast the other three male OGLS even though the four of them have been long-time best buddies. They have yet to get back at him for abandoning them since getting attached to *cough*Mingyi*cough*. This long-time actor is also active in the Hokkien Opera scene and was even an extra on The Little Nonya!

Nuraini (THE AWESOME-LY TALL SINGER): Awesome also refers to her voice; she's got one that can bowl you over. make sure she sings for you. Make her pose too, she's fantabulous. Helps that she's watched just about every episode of america's next top model *cue her voice: the next episode is out!!!* a drama queen of epic proportions with tons of drama experience. She also happens to be perennially on a self-induced high. All you freshies, you have been warned.

OG: Scotto
OGLS: Caleb & Xin Yi

Caleb (THE CANNOT STOP LAUGHING ONE): Behind the huge grin of the cutest OGL (very very strongly contested), is much more than meets the eye. He has the maturity (of a 8 year old), the suavity of James Bond (‘s Filipino tut-tut driver) and speaks impeccable Mandarin (by Russian standards). Don’t fret if you can’t find him. High chance he’s at the nearest duck rice stall. Asking for chicken rice.

Xinyi (THE FUN-SIZED OGL): Say hi to Dr. Xinyi (PhD) where laughter is the best cure for… anything (hahaha rofl). She is a good doctor too, cause good things come in small packages.
