Block C Pageant

Prepare for GLITZ & GLAMOUR!

As we all know, Block C is FILLED with hunks and BABES! (babes being a higher majority, of course!).
So when it's time to choose the hunks and babes to represent our block, it's mind-boggling! Haha. Anyway, Block C has the tradition of sending up our old people because we not only believe in good looks, we believe in accumulated wisdom too! So if you're year 2 and below but striving to be a pageant, you still have time to primp yourself! =p

This year, we have..... *drumrolls*..............................

JIAFEN GINNIE KENNETH AND DARIUS!

DO SUPPORT THEM!

Their first appearance will be at Good Luck Concert today!

Here's more pictures of our pretty and handsome pageants!

Lovely, aren't they?

Hitch-A-Dryer

I went down to the laundry room to check on my clothes in the dryer and found an .. Ikea floor rug happily tumbling around with my clothes, underwear, towels and pillow case.

I'm guessing its owner found no available dryers and thought it a brilliant idea to toss it in to dry with someone's laundry. What's the harm right? It's just a rug; he can easily retrieve it when the person comes to claim his clothes, finds a rug in the machine, and tosses it aside in disgust.

Obviously, considerations such as how filthy the rug could be after being left on the floor for eons are unimportant to the happy owner of the rug.

If you're reading this, your rug's behind the dryers. No, on second thoughts, this shall be the story of how I got a new rug :)

Buaya Week (Wednesday)

If you have the time and/or the energy today, and you see a crowd waiting at the lobby for the lift, don't bother waiting. Just take the stairs. 

Why, you ask?

Because Horace's buaya took up half the lift in her efforts to buaya him, that's why.

As this photographer was glaring at the obstacle, she noticed the sign "For Horace's eyes only", before she realized that she was not supposed to look at the table.

Well, too late. 

And too bad.

Qiu Ping's buaya can make sweet balloons..

...and funky balloons too!

In reciprocation to his Spellbound's efforts at buaya-ing him, Terrence made a poster using pictures from DOTA. Standing under the poster, he pounced on anyone and everyone who walked past, and asked "Nice right, nice right?"

And before those poor souls had a chance to reply, he continued, "I think damn nice leh!"

-_-"

"Self praise is international disgrace." Terrence, you heard before? 

When Zhen Lin saw that his buaya called him a prince, he jumped up and down and around the block, shouting "I'm a prince! I'm a prince!" to everyone who would care to listen (or was unlucky enough to be in the vicinity). 

Dear C-Towners, for future events, kindly exercise more consideration in choosing terms of endearment for your buayees. Remember, always put the welfare of the block first before your love. Anything that results in significantly increased noise pollution is strictly prohibited.

Grace's "psychotic" buaya adds a message board to her already-cluttered door.  What message is he sending to her now?

Tat Chin's buaya realizes "tat" she loves him. Well, good for her and good for him. But I really, really don't get the skull. Could some kind soul explain please?

Min Woo's buaya proves that love is not blind. Did I hear you go "huhhhh"?

Okay, let me explain step by step:

1) She uses sign language to spell "Love".

2) If you're blind, you obviously can't see the signs.

3) Hence, obviously love is not blind.

"Chey" what "chey"?! You're just sianed 'cos you didn't think of it first!

Shimin's buaya made her a poster that is sitting outside her door.

Wait a moment..what's it doing SITTING outside her door?! Is her buaya so weak that he can't even hang up a mounting board nicely somewhere? He should just dig a hole somewhere to hide his head.

Zhang Ren's buaya made him a poster that looks quite nice at first glance.

But take a closer look.

You will find out she was initially buaya-ing another guy with the same surname of Zhang, from another block with this same poster 2 days ago. And now she's reusing it for Zhang Ren, with a simple change of one character. 

One word: Zai.

Samson's buaya designs a poster in which he has a hairstyle that suits him much better than his current wavy curls. With that afro head and wide smile, he almost looks like one of those cool rappers, but that act-cute twisty sign he is holding up makes this photo worthy of www.failblog.org.

After reading through the note, the only thing that was clear to this photographer was that Samson's buaya wants to smell his hair. Grossness aside, if this were the summary section of an English assignment, I would get full marks.

Sharon's buaya following in the footsteps of Zuo Jin's buaya. 

Conclusion: 

1) Zuo Jin's buaya is better at the English language than Sharon's buaya, because Zuo Jin's buaya could spell 3 words all by himself: "I", "Love" and "ZJ", whereas it took 4 people to spell one "Sharon". 

2) Sharon's buaya has nicer handwriting than Zuo Jin's buaya.

Sharon the pretty babe all  happy and excited after gazing out the window for the longest time. Here she is, posing for a photo with some of the gifts from her buaya.

Recently, there have been several cases of otherworldly sightings in Sheares Hall. As a result, a priest was called in to help cleanse the area. After wandering around, he found the miasma heaviest in Block C...in Terence's room.

To clarify, there are also two Ter(r)ences in Block C. The younger one is the one who did the poster above, and has his name spelt with a double "r". The old one is the one whose room is in question here. 

Continuing, the priest locked himself in the room for an hour. When he came out, the room was literally covered with pieces of paper which look like the yellow slips or "fu2" that Taoists believe have the ability to curb zombies and demons (or at least it's the case in TV serials and movies). There were a total of 100 slips found...

On the windows...

On the shelves...

And even the cupboards. Walls too. Terence can sleep sound at night for years to come, knowing that zombies dare not draw near while he rests.

Yik Hung's buaya hangs a board with handwritten lyrics to a several Chinese love songs. It is a subtle hint to him to learn the songs well, so that he can sing them to her in the near future. 

"Roses are red

Violets are blue

Sugar is sweet

And so are you."

That's the version of the song I know. But Qiu Ping's buaya seems to have heard the one that starts with "Roses are blue." That aside, I think the overall effect seems a bit "off". Kind of like a wreath, don't you think so too?

Okay, okay. I shall shut up.

Sabrina's buaya is a little more normal. He even drags two couches to make a love nest for her. You know, it would have been really romantic if it weren't so obvious that the chairs were taken from the lounge.

This is a gentle reminder that goes out to all the other buayas who have stolen chairs/couches/tables/others from the kitchen/lounge/friends' rooms etc. Please return them after buaya closing tonight, okay? 

Cranes again, but with a twist - in a heart shaped formation. Sweet.

Tired of seeing cranes everywhere, Gloria (Li)'s buaya decides to hang lollipops from the ceiling outside her room. Looking pretty at 3am..

At 7am, a UFO carrying mini martians was on its way out of our block after a sneak investigation, when it got entangled in the lollipop strings...and crashed!

It should still be hanging there now if you want to take a look. But beware, there may be dead bodies of mini martians. 

Valerie's buaya is also suffering from crane fatigue. Hence, the choice to use whales. I hope she likes whale sashimi.

Oh, a little bird told this photographer that a few days ago, Valerie's buaya also gave her a fish (yes, a real, dead fish). What did she do with it, you ask? Well, that's for her to know and for you to find out. 

Kaijia is reaching for the stars, but Tian Loong the Untouchable doesn't seem to be inspired. 

This is what our kitchen looked like at 4am in the morning. Looks like many people will be enjoying delicious home cooked food from their buayas tomorrow!

In gleeful anticipation, the block C RM (Resident Mannequin) gets on his feet, and starts practicing how to deliver and serve trays banquet-style. All you need to do is ask politely, and he will gladly help you!

He is now ball-less, so do be kind and spare him some food after, okay?

Newsflash: Early this morning, there was a police blockade along the entire level 4 short wing. 

Makeshift jail bars to cage the animals of our block in.

But doesn't seem to be of much use! Mingzhe escaped by duck-walking out, and ripping one edge off in the process.

And, as of 1.56pm, if you look out of your window (if your window is facing the right direction), you might be lucky enough to see this.

Can't see what it is?

This friendly photographer zooms it in for your viewing pleasure.

Can see now, but can't read?

It spells a very colourful "Lai Mun, I Love You"! 

At the count of 3, everyone, lets go "awww" together.

1....2....3!

AWWWW...AWWWW....AWESOME!

Okay, that's all the updates this photographer has for today. 

**

Buaya Week closing is tonight, 8.45pm @ Blk C rooftop!

Remember to bring a present for both your buaya and buayee to close off this memorable week! See you there! (:

Buaya Week updates (Tuesday)

Have you met the sexiest woman in Block C this year?

She's none other than Qiu Ping, or so her buaya says (very convincingly). Just click on the picture to enlarge so you can see the description.  

Ladies first, but not forgetting the men. Who can possibly look at Samson without giving him a second appreciative look? His buaya (an appropriately named Samdaughter) says it all: "Samson, you sexy thing. Your hot bod and wild hair makes other girls scream." The cherry that tops this is the picture of the man himself. Note that the photo was extracted from a certain online site that offers pay per view photos of hunks in all (ahem) positions. This one of Samson just happens to be a little..toe curling. Not me, look at his toes! 

But Samdaughter admiring Samson? I wonder what Sam will say.

And it seems that Gloria Li's buaya is following in the footsteps of Gloria Lee's buaya. The earlier one was in a bikini. Now a loincloth? They're obviously thinking Flintstones. Yabba-dabba-doo baby!

And Speedy Gonzales gives Xin Ying a pair of handcuffs. Is there no end to the kinkiness in Block C? Amen.

Initials seem to be a popular design this Buaya Week. 

Q for Quin.

Y for Yik Hung. 

And because Yik Hung's buaya made his "Y" larger than Quin's buaya made her "Q", I hereby announce that Yik Hung's buaya loves him more than Quin's buaya loves her. 

I hope that last sentence entertained you for at least 20 seconds. On my part, I'm still trying to figure out what I meant when I typed it in. 

Lee Loong's buaya says he's the "cutest of them all". This despite him being the only one in a normal pose and all the other photos in "act cute poses". So not only is beauty in the eye of the beholder - now cuteness is too. C-Towners, on the count of three, let's go "kawaii ne"!

One..Two...Okay next.

Latest news flash: Hanzen's buaya has warned him that her heart beats only for him, and that it would stop beating whenever he leaves. C-Towners, please brush up on your knowledge of CPR, and be prepared to administer it as and when required. 

A very considerate Wind apologizes to C-Towners for stinking up the lift in his pursuit of Chee Mei. C-Towners understand, and wish you best of luck!

Ginny's buaya gives her a few doormats. G(enie) and her flying carpets! Everyone, C the Magic of Love! 

/cups hand to ear.

Did I just hear you say that was lame? Oh..come on. 

/makes rude sound at you.

Whatever.

Marriage notice between Darius and his buaya.  For non-Chinese, the Chinese characters on the bottom right mean "double happiness" and "love" respectively. They're the traditional symbols for Chinese marriages. 

Matt's buaya gave him a gigantic shark float. And no, I didn't make a mistake by showing a photo with his buaya in it. That's Val going into Dick's room, silly. Btw, the note on the shark says "Dear Matt, I will keep you afloat in stormy seas", or something along those lines. 

Whether it works or not, you decide. But I'm sure of one thing - the next Block C Sentosa outing, that shark will be coming along too. :D

And this has got to be the most creative poster I've seen this Buaya Week. An A4 paper on the bottom right with microscopic "I love yous", and a magnifying glass to view it. Original, I like!

 

Zuo Jin's buaya made the tealight candles spell "I Love ZJ". Zuo Jin turned to me and asked, "Uh, can I go downstairs and rearrange the tealights to spell 'I Love You Too'?" Eventually, she gave up the idea because she realized it would be hard to have "ZJ" transform into "You Too". 

Terence's buaya got Shaccapella to sing a song to him, while he enjoyed a candlelit supper in the form of chocolate fondue and a Barcardi Breezer while enjoying a foot spa in a tub with real rose petals in it.

But the star of the evening was Junyi (from Block A I believe). He was the Shacca lead singer for the song Quando (which was 1 of the 3 in their repertoire for this Buaya Week). If you haven't heard him sing this song, please don't miss any opportunity to. Ice Queen also sure melt.

Lee Loong's buaya apologizing to him for not buaya-ing him over the weekend cos she had to "fetch the kids from school"? She names herself "Lao Po" - "wife" in Chinese. Tsk, so Ah Lian.

And more new door tags popping up everyday.

Evelyn's one grew out from the wood. Really. You don't believe you try. You can get scrap wood from the rag area.

Alex's doortag is unique..

And Sharon's is pretty!

Those who didn't make door tags made stuff customized to their buayees' interests. The two buayees below happen to be from soccer.

Zhang Ren's buaya thinks Zhang Ren is cool with sunglasses.

Robbie Fowler in Spongebob Squarepants boxers is cooler. Dissenters will be shot, and survivors will be shot again. 

Alvin's buaya made him a soccer goal, with the tagline "My goal is to enter your heart". Nice.

And there were those who filled up an entire wall.

Lai Mun's buaya "Super Mario" did this, though I'm not sure what the brooms are for. Cos she sweeps him off his feet?

And one of Quin's buayas - Bluey, who used up another wall. You may be interested to know that both these walls are on level 3, and now level 3 does not have any empty wall. That must be the only reason why there is no wall dedicated to me. 

Yean Ching's buaya catches a Peeping Tom in action. But instead of arresting him, he takes a photo and creates a poster to tell him to stop. Wow.

And, because of these idiots who use entire walls for their buayees, others have to pull their tricks in the toilet.

Alex's buaya reserves an entire cubicle for him in the level 4 toilet. She installed a CCTV above the cubicle so she can constantly check to make sure that no one other than Alex is using the cubicle. So, if you're thinking of ignoring the signage, think again. 

Mingzhe's buaya writes a famous Chinese poem on the mirror, with word replacements interesting enough to make Ming Zhe stand in front of the mirror for half an hour trying to correct the words, before he realized that it was a romantic effort to buaya him. 

And Damien's corner is just gay.

What's wrong? I meant happy and gay. You and your one track mind. Tsk. 

Gay corner continued...

But compared to Grace's buaya, theirs is nothing! He covered up one third of the entire level 7 toilet mirror, forcing those using the middle sink to crane their necks to the sides to use the mirror. 

Oh, to reward this photographer's hard work, Matt did a sexaye strip dance in the level 4 toilet, to the strains of CK's loud (and off-key) singing. It's on YouTube, just do a simple search, and it'll keep you occupied for a while.

AND because the walls and toilets are all used, C-Towners bring their buaya-ing efforts to the communal hall!

Yee Voon smiles down happily at all the people queuing up for Uncle Vincent's supper. The reason behind her smile: "Haha, eat and grow fat!"

Yik Hung's buaya likens him to James Bond. But instead of bullets coming out of his gun, a pink heart emerges. Uh...

Okay, next. 

Zuo Jin's buaya strikes again, declaring across the entire glass panel that there is no purpose in life without her. But his name is "Thief", so he should be finding it easy to steal her heart away. 

And the update you have been promised: The Seah Jiafen special!

Posters featuring her have been appearing in the communal hall. 

1: As the female lead in Death Note.

2: As the cover girl of TIME magazine.

3: As the cover girl of Newsweek Magazine.

And her buaya writes her numerous love letters. 

Apparently there is another buaya vying for her attentions, and Kira is trying to keep her to himself. Ganbatte Kira!

And we move on to Cuishan..

She's not playing Buaya Week, but her unofficial buaya(s) have been doing more than some of our official buayas. 

One of them put a Kungfu Panda poster on her door which says "No OTHER guys allowed, or I'll kick your ass with my Kungfu. This girl is taken."

But that doesn't stop her from going to OTHER guys' rooms. Her buaya quite noob. This photographer was busy laughing at him. 


The next moment, karma struck. I attempted to walk into her room. But 'cos I was too tall, I didn't manage to see the barrier chain obstructing access into her room - and ended up walking smack right into it and getting rebounded. 

One word - retarded.

And Cuishan smiling radiantly with a bouquet of flowers from unofficial buaya #2. I declare him the better man because he didn't nearly make me trip.

Lee Loong's buaya should really learn to curb her vulgarities. Tsk. Swearing in public is not encouraged. 


I was wondering whether VK's buaya spelt his name wrongly. 

"Ba Poo"?? 

"Ba Pok" better, lah.

And Horace's buaya reserves the handicapped toilet for him. That tells you everything you need to know about how she sees him. 

I wonder how many eyebrows and eyelashes Alvin has lost walking smack right into the sticky tape when he wakes up bleary-eyed early in the morning. 

Swee Foo's buaya decorates the exterior of his room. She even hangs a pink cloth (which he currently keeps rolled up for easy access to his room) so that he can change without closing his door. But take a closer look at the poster. It reads "It's not often one can still look so good after 50 years". Uh, yeah she's saying he's good looking. But 50 years old??

And I really really didn't get this.. Can some kind soul please explain?

It is obvious that Joyce's buaya has good knowledge of current affairs and the melamine situation. Must be quite intellectual.

Yi Li's buaya is not too smart. He gave her a white board so that they could communicate on it. To this end, he passes her a marker. She wrote on the board, and then told this photographer, "Err..can you help me tell my buaya that he gave me a permanent marker and now I can't rub the words off"? 

Enough said. 

Done by Sze Hui's buaya at the level 4 lift lobby..

With additions by an unidentified person (hopefully not her buaya).

And then we have the super "up" buaya efforts.

A castle, complete with moat, gardens and even furniture. For his princess, he says. 


Damien's buaya managed to list down an astounding 64 reasons why she loves him. 

Well, give me 2 weeks, I may be able to think of one. 

Kidding only lah!

Some buayas fold cranes..

Other buayas fold 99 birds (cranes + peacocks). This photographer was enlisted at 5.30am to help him hang up the decorations. After that was done, I asked, "so how many cranes are there". He replied, "I don't know leh". So, I started to count. 

The final tally is the grand total of 99. So zhun right! This is fate..

9 in Chinese is pronounced "jiu", which also means "long"

So, 99 = "jiu jiu" (translated = "long long").

It's just supposed to be romantic lah okay. 

After that, he asked me, "like that can get Buaya King"? 

I told him to go see Kaijia and Grace's buayas' efforts. 


The latest news from Kaijia's buaya: an enormous poster of P/S: I Love You with Kaijia's face edited in. Kaijia is re-enacting the moment where she posed for the  original photo for yours truly. Look out, she does this everytime she enters the lift. 

And...her buaya also gave her a bouquet of 100 roses! A gesture that left most speechless, and left her very happy and contented, and vocally issuing her marriage proposal yet again. 

But wait, there's another strong contender in the running for Block C Buaya King!

He made this doorframe for Grace!

Grace posing with it..

And when this photographer turned to snap some more photos, Grace jumped at Kaijia and screamed "He's PSYCHOTIC ley!". Kaijia replied: "Eh, he customized the height for you! Imagine if his buaya were Emily. Her head sure bang the frame 10 times a day."

Grace started laughing hysterically. 

The Block C resident mannequin also started laughing so hard that one of his balls dropped. 

Okay, we've come to the end of this post. Do pardon the abrupt end, but this photographer is very, very tired. its 9.48am, and she has been trying to blog (damn the blogspot server for being a prick) since 5am. 

Hope you enjoyed the read, and good morning!

We should start counting down to Buaya Week Closing on Thursday.  :(
