April Fool's Day

2009-04-02T00:34:00.007+08:00

Got pranked on this day?

Wondered why 6 out of 7 washing machines were out of order?

April Fool's Day 09 @ E-block

Sem II is here! Upcoming Event~

2009-01-19T19:13:00.002+08:00

Valentine's is around the corner, and it's time to spread the love!

Presenting to you E-block's Angel and Mortal!

This is your chance to show your care and love for your unsuspecting mortal! Reuben and Kailin will be going round to allocate you a mortal this week, so look out for us! We will strike your rooms after 10pm.

This period of demonstrated friendship will run from the day you draw your mortal until 16th Feb, where all will be revealed during a sumptuous feast.

Now, how to show that you care? Simply drop your letters and goodies in the rainbow coloured box in E4 kitchenette. We will pick it up and deliver it to your mortal/angel's doorsteps around 10.30pm each night. Or, you can go direct to your mortal's room and splash your love across the door (or even around the block).

Don't be shy shy! Get your pens and goodies ready!

Your Friendly Neighbour,

Happy Holidays to all E-blockers!

Hi everyone! Hopefully all of you are enjoying your vacation! Oops, the blog seems to be very quiet nowadays... anyway, going to post the past event (a month ago!) of our block... sorry for late update...

E block Halloween Room Raiding!!

E block held another round of room raiding on 30/10/2008. To add some spice to the event, all members of the block committee dressed up in various costumes. And boy, a lot of blockers were taken aback by the costumes!

In this round of room raiding, three rooms were raided. The first victim was Wesley in E4, whose family photo was confiscated and taken to Pik Wei’s (a senior) room in E6. To get his precious photo back, Wesley was told to put on a costume and dance a few simple moves in the costume. Having done what he was told, he finally managed to get his belongings back!

During room raiding, questions were asked to blockers so that members of the block committee could get to know the blockers better. And of course, to foster closer relationships with blockers, what better way there is than photo-shooting? (Please take a look at the photos in the slide show above =P)

2nd Block Supper (21/10/08)

2008-10-28T20:52:00.002+08:00

The second season of E block supper has come to pass. For the approx. 50 of you who turned up, thanking you for supper-ing with us. Uh yes, the meal was prepared for the blockers and 'invaders', but do you know that some of the block comm members were already enjoying some of the dishes while preparing them? Actually we always do that, don't we? * grin…

So for those who could not join us for whatever reason, you had missed out on some really great food! I heard someone say, "Hey, the Samosa's better than the restaurants'!" Indeed, the labour intensive job was proudly brought to you by Kai Lin (the one who came up with the recipe), Reuben, Jipson (who added too much salt initially which could make you "thirst to death", hehe), Zhuangli and myself. Kudos to the one who cooked the potato fillings! It was soooo awesome!! Believe me, I tried it and it was heavenly. And so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the most quickly whisked dish in a block supper ever! Oh then there was the potato salad which tasted as tantalizing... The fair trace of onions present in the dish truly spiced up the entire mouthful that I had gorged myself with. It tasted too good to be eaten any slower! The potatoes were well cooked and mashed (by Joanne and Geri), the ingredients were all in the right amounts… Oh boy, trust me, you can't ask for anything more in a simple dish like this salad. Extremely amazing.

Did you guys notice some super brown-coloured waffles? Our very explorative Kok Pun added Milo powder into the waffle mix, which didn't give a very good texture to the waffles in the end. One of them even flowered like a butt- in Chinese we call it "pi gu kai hua"! But not all waffles turned out bad 'cause Fang Chee has a gift for making waffles… her first try was already perfect!

And there were brownies in celebration of the birthdays for the October babies! I can remember vividly how Xiao Shuang and Nicholas were happily filling their tummies with their self-concocted invention of ice-cream cum brownies. They urged me to try it which I did after hesitation... …For those of you out there with a sweet tooth, this concoction is for you. Otherwise, don't try it!

Watermelons, pasta and sugar-butter sandwiches were the additional dishes that we prepared… Thank you all block comm members (including those mentioned above, Lam, Ken Juin, Sien Long, Xifei ) who came down to whip up the wonderful treat for us all!

With Love,

Loraine

(p.s. Thanks Loraine for this lovely post! ^^)

Presenting to you the different perspectives and views of and from E-Block!
Going up from the 1st floor you look up and see a multitude of steps...

This is the epitome of KE7 and E-Block, STAIRS!
Going up from the bus terminal to E8(300 steps?) is a minor miracle in itself...
Next we go to E3 and see a part of the hill where E-block sits on...

Not forgetting the landscaping that is done beneath E-block...

At E5 you will have a good view of Shepherd's Path.

Er, this was when the tree was being chopped...
Then, we arrive at E7 ,which looks down on from F till H-Block.

Yup, E-Block is the tallest block in KE7!
Even taller than PGP.

Lastly, E8!
Where the skies and seas are blue and the breeze is refreshing!

Enjoy the breathtaking view from there!
It's no wonder that the rooms here are the most coveted every year.

Some nightview shots. Not too clear, but have you seen these sights before?
If not, it's time to take a hike from E1 all the way to E8!

BLOCK SUPPER

The Level 1&2 Supper Outing

2008-10-21T00:54:00.003+08:00

On the 15th of October, the L1&2 guys had a supper outing.

We are very priviledged to be the only two girls who joined them and had a fun night of getting to know some of the new residents. Hehe*

Reuben, the Level 1&2 IC being greedy, eating both waffle and fries at the same time!

Shawn, Loke, Jelvin and Johan SHOCKED by Reuben's appetite!

Reuben finally finished eating.
Zhong Yang, giving a serious political talk (looks like it)
(Zhong Yang is a new Yr5 medic senior)
Heng Wai, trying to digest.

The guys attracted to Corpse Bride showing on TV
(Pipetius, Jeryl, Shawn, Loke, Jelvin)

Kenny (on the right) thinking about his girlfriend. Lost in space*

It's a great pleasure knowing all of you. Hope to have more chance to interact with you guys soon! =)

Luv,
geri&fangchee

Updates, and...

Hi guys! How was Formal Hall Dinner? (I know.. FHD was wayyyy back a long time ago -.-|||)

Anyway, hope that those who had attended FHD enjoyed themselves. For those who could not make it to FHD, do not worry, there will be some exciting events coming up (yay!):

BLOCK SUPPER II

(21 October 2008)

More information on this event will be updated soon...

ROOM RAID #2

Well, no information will be disclosed. A piece of advice - just [be prepared].

E - CHATROOM

Just to remind you that we have a Chatroom at the bottom of this page. Use it! Or else, very boring leh!

Please do not think that this blog is belonged to the Committee only... Blockers, start spamming the chatroom, PLEASE!

(In other words, we need your support! =P)

Besides that, we will be starting our weekly chat next week (24 October 2008). The time is 10pm-11pm (or anytime around this time range) on every Friday.

Come and chat with us! Mai paiseh (meaning don't be shy)!

Hope to see more liveliness in our blog! C'mon, E-block!

DOOR TAGS

Have you gotten your door tag?

If yes, please make use of it!

How to use it? It is very simple. Do you see the yellow strip which has 5 statuses on it?

'In' means you are in your room

'Out' means you are not in your room

'Bored' means you are bored

'Do not disturb' means you do not want to be disturb (and also you are in your room)

'BRB' means be right back (you are away for a while)

Easy, right?

E-nfo and Express Boards

Do you notice that the notice boards at level 1 and level 4 have been revamped? Kudos to the E-block Pubs Team!

For the E-nfo board, we have a special section for e-babies of the month. Well, a person only celebrates his/her birthday once a year. So, do not miss the chance to extend your birthday wishes to our blockers every month!

Just grab a post-it (I am quite sure that many of us have post-its), write down your wishes, and just post them onto the board. Only 3 simple steps, just do it!

For the Express board, we will be putting up notices and updating photos of previous events. Go and take a look. =)

E-block T-shirt

Just to update all of you that the E-block Pubs Team is working very hard on the t-shirt design.

That's all for E-block's updates!

Last but not least, E-blockers, say something! I feel as if I am talking to myself...

E-Chat Room

2008-09-22T03:00:00.005+08:00

Do you realise there is a chat room widget at the end of this page?

It is our very own E block chat room!
Well, our blockhead Geri actually requested for a chat room instead of a chat box. So, what is the difference between a this chat room and normal chat box?

1. Chat room - We can see the online users of our chat room who have signed in (of course, before that, a person must register for an account in Chatroll, but it really does not matter if you don't mind appearing as a guest on the forum). Live conversations will be on the chat room!

2. Chat box - The function is like posting comments and it has minimum interaction between viewers of the blog.

This chat room is provided by Chatroll, which according to the website, it is the "fastest-growing
live forum community and
the best way to interact live!" (Click on the picture to open the chatroll homepage link)

Well, I have created our own forum in chatroll which is E Block.

Last but not least, please do not hesitate to create an account on chatroll and sign in to chatroll to start conversations between viewers of the blog (which are mostly our blockers)!

A journey of a thousand miles...

2008-09-22T01:56:00.000+08:00

Does this part of the quote sound familiar to you?

Yes, it is quoted from a Chinese Philosopher, Lao Tzu.
"A journey of a thousand miles, starts with a single step."

*drum roll*

The new 08/09 E block's blog brought to you by the E Block Committee, your friendly neighbour!

So, sit back and enjoy!

E-E-E-E BLOCK!
