The 3 5 Musketeers

Attendance for today was... well, just 5 of us (as the title suggests)...
Sebas and Bryan were the earliest ;
Rayson and I were next ;
Gangyi was latest.

Doesn't really matter who arrived first or last cuz it's just the 5 of us.

I guess only a few words could describe how we felt the entire morning :
'disappointment', 'sian diao', 'exhausted'...

Oh well...
We ended training at about 11am.
Settled down on the field to talk to each other.
It's good to feel the breeze and catch up with each other. :D

We then decided to head to IKEA at 1130-ish for brunch, and to check out some stuff we could get to DIY our equipments.

We had a very very full-filling brunch.
Our stomachs went from STARVING to STUFFED.
LOL

The 5 of us shared 30 Swedish meatballs.
Gangyi had salmon ;
Sebas, Bryan and Rayson had nasi padang goreng ;
Sebas also had cream of chicken soup ;
I had the (kids') spaghetti set ;
Rayson and I shared salmon too.

Imagine all that food we ate...
Guess we wasted time training and losing calories! LOL

We ended up walking around IKEA feelings absolutely stuffed.

We saw chair cushions which are really suitable to be bases.


This costs $7.90.


This costs $5.90.

There were others that cost $9.90, $3.90, 1.90.
(Yes, prices getting cheaper.)
BUT, they were not really suitable cuz of size and thickness.

We're still gonna look out for more before really buying.
AND, if attendance is gonna be like this...
No point buying equipments either.
Sigh...

We were really happy walking around IKEA.
Felt like the 5 of us were shopping for furniture to live together.
I wouldn't mind that! :D

At the end of the shopping trip...
We decided that...
We'll put the chair cushions in trash bag before using them, then just throw the bags away.
We'll also DIY the backstop using bamboo poles, fishing net and something else which I forgot.

Tam has the pitcher plate ;
Sebas has the catcher equipment and 2 bats ;
Gangyi has 1 bat,
Bryan has the softballs.

So what we need for training to be done properly are...
1. (Most importantly) PEOPLE
2. Bases
3. Helmets

Then, when everything and everyone are more regular...
We can start getting PROPER equipments.

So PLEASE, come for trainings...
I don't know if the few of us can keep our enthusiasm if this is the kinda attendance we're getting... ):

National Day Outing

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY EVERYONE~!
anyway, i am back from the softball outing.

oh man the games at Minds cafe were really fun! we were quite high but the other tables were WILD. i think you must know what games to choose. anyway the people present were Jasmine, Rayson, Bryan, Gangyi, Junhan and me. hehehe i think we can go there again soon. Its not expensive anyway.

[photo at central]

dinner was at Brewerks. and we had alot of fabulous food~!
What a feast! we had 4 litres of fruit brew, Sheperd's Pie, Jabalama, BBQ combo, and Chicken Questilla. hahaha i hope i got the names right. anyway we were super full not because of the food but from the beer. damn filling la. i had 2.5 glasses. Bryan had 4. and Gangyi was very cui after his second cup. specially when we starting playing drinking games.

{dinner photos]

anyway since we were more free today, we have decided on how we are going to sort out some details. This is what we have decided on:

1. - Club position.
TRAINING CADRE: Bryan
TREASURER - Jasmine/Yuhua
QM: Gangyi/Sebaz jr
2. - How we are going to collect funds.
From the emails so far - masses' chose Option 3: $5 per month. so we have decided that this will be a monthly membership kind of thing. every month you will pay $5 - even if you only attended once or even no training that month. collection is on the LAST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH! but only for this month, funds collection will be next friday. people who have dnated, please bring your donation and this month's funds down to pay to either Jasmine or Yuhua.

3. - Equipments
The things in our possession now is 1 bat, 20 balls, 2 helmets and 1 catcher mask and 1 home plate. below are the things that we intend to buy. We will be trying our best to think of ways to make our own bases and backstop. until we are rich enough.
(according to priorty)
1. Bat x 01
2. Catcher mask and vest
3. Helmet x 02
4. First aid box
5. Team t-shirt/cap/slacks
4. Source - Where to buy
Zhengqi says that he has connections so he might be able to help us get lower prices. Meanwhile, we will need Yong Chuan, who is now in Taiwan, to help us keep a loo out for equipments. if some of the stuff is cheap enough, we can get him to help us buy!

so that's about it.
So take care and have a great week ok? See ya this sunday!

luv, Yuhua

outing

Shall we go play games at Settler's Cafe or The Mind Cafe this THURSDAY, 9TH AUG?

I believe it'll be fun. :D
Take it as a time for us to bond.

Charges wise... I feel that it'll be cheaper to go to The Mind Cafe.

Settler's Cafe : "For a group of 4 friends taking 2 hours of board gaming at Settler’s Café:
Standard package for two hours at Settler's Cafe, inclusive of 4 LARGE welcome drinks, 1 snack, complimentary tidbits, free flow of games and provision of a host is only at $30+. This is already discounted off from an average of $40+ without a package. Furthermore, there is NO GST!"

The Mind Cafe : "On Saturdays , Sundays ,Public Holidays and Eve of Public Holidays
We charge $2.50/+ per hour per person for boardgaming only
For Dinner, check out the Meal Combo as stated below.
Check out the Games Packages below for Boardgames, drinks and snacks"

So...
What do you guys think?

<3, Jassy

P.S. Let's confirm attendance by TUESDAY, 7th AUGUST 2359hr so that I can go book the place. (:

money please

Hey yo~!
Yuhua here

Sorry - haven't been updating the blog lately. Decided to detach myself from the cyberworld for a while. hahaha.

For your info, the fund is open to donations. Anyone who is happy to part with a little cash to top up the softball fund can do so. Anyway i am one of the regulars so i don't mind chipping in abit more. so i will donate $30 into the fund. We will be keeping an accounts book and at the end of every 3 months, we will review the financial status of the club.

option 1: $1 per training
option 2: $2 per training
option 3: $5 per month.
option 4: Others

Bascially my vote is $5 per month. i will be passing a chain email around. members who wish to donate money need to respond to that chain email - instead email directly to the team email.

Lastly, this is the last time we are asking for opinions about handling the funds. After that, members who have not responded will follow the choice of majority.

See you guys real soon!
Most likely will only appear for training after next week.

we've got hope!

Su Ling e-mailed us...
"hey dear, remember softball fund? The money is still with me if u recall and i keep forgetting to pass to you guys.. wAhaha...There's still $163.40 with me. I will pass it to Tam, since he sees you guys more often? Hope the amount helps. Haha.."

So, we've got $163.40 to start off with.
We've got hope! :D
But, I believe we still need more money cuz softball equipments don't come cheap!

And, please let me know how much each of you are willing to chip in for equipments.
Any amount will do.
After all, a little goes a long way... (:

Maybe, if we feel the pinch, we should collect $1 or $2 each training for a start?
What do you guys say?
