We always thought Rachel was the big poseur. Kar Weng certainly begs to differ.
Oooo, check me out. Don’t I look simply tasty?
Some even say I look like super hot female senior. Can you guys guess who? *winks winks* ;P
Rachel not only decides who we love, she now also decides our gender.
Played L4D? Here comes the Tank.
Ice-cream is a luxury in Jung Gong reign. Happy peasants day!
Even when there is just a small bottle of Vodka camouflaged by other drinks, you know who will be lurking around..
No prizes for this guess! 3 storeys high but no vodka is safe when she is around.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the US First Lady. In Jung Gong land, meet our First Boy, Michael Chin. Handpicked by Dear Leader herself, this lucky boy is the only one spared from her wrath.
Happy Peasants’ Day lasts only a short while. Work Work.
Last meal & game time before our ‘Grand Parade’.
Uh Oh.. Shu Wen spotted its full moon tonight. Alicia & Pamela looks on nervously to the tale of Jacob Black.
Too late. Snared his first victim.
Ok to be fair to Karweng, maybe it was innate in Chloe. Same face all the time!
Senior’s Tee! Which will look much better if it matched the cup colour.
Communal Sharing of food is a happy thing. Super senior Edwin approves.
Sus picking up some ‘survival in the wild’ skills from our resident wild animal.
Cornelius appointed Charcoal I/C of the day!
First sign of moon seems to be driving him wild.
Amazing spread of food on our Gobble Only Nice Gourmet (GONG) hour introduced by Dear Leader. We love the communal sharing of food!
Hey fellow boys, you wanna know the trick to kissing as well as me??? PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I don’t just bite food off satay sticks, I LICK them.
Pris won’t be too happy about this.
Sergeant Karweng preparing the men for the Grand Parade.
:) Altogether now.
Edward “Mugger” Teo
Edward is trained in the arts of Muay Thai, in the above picture you can see him in deep concentration as he teaches our other Gambino SAs Agnes and Pinghui. While his perfectly sculpted body may/may not give off a fierce vibe, Edward is anything but such. Crowned the Ultimate Mugger of CS, he can be easily encountered in the wild grass of the ACRC Library. Other hobbies include studying, listening to SNSD, mass dancing, studying and getting the latest Backstreet Boys news.
The perfect example of the phrase “Never Judge a Book by its Cover”
Jocelyn “Lian” Tan
Jocelyn came a long way since her youth. She has been called many names such as “Ah Lian” (Have pics to prove), BFG (Big Forehead Girl) and of course… William Hung. Beneath the lian image she portrays however resides a helpful girl who will help you with anything you need (No really freshies please try asking her for ANYTHING I swear she will help). Jocelyn is also apt in the auntie arts as shown when she almost always succeed in sniffing out discounts and finding 14 seats in unimaginable places such as Chomp Chomp @ 7pm.
Jocelyn, 2004 VS William Hung, 2004
Goh “Snap” Yan Hui
Although we may not get to see Yan Hui often in pictures, she has a certain pose during the rare occasion she gets to be on film. However, Freshies please take due note of Yan Hui as she will be the one taking all your pictures during FOC, unglam or not and answering calls of “我要看到我的脸!”.
Shoutout to Pinghui! “MEOW!”
Trivia: Yan Hui has a rule that she ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to use public toilet. Lets wait and see how she survives 5days?
Gina “Cheena Poo” Foo
Remember the SA post Alex did whereby how important friends are in FOC? Yes, this is what Gina does for her friends. Having burning face paint for the whole day in public is not something anyone will willingly do. Freshies please do approach Gina when you have any unpleasant role to fill during the music video filming of module COM206. Other skills include playing all manners of instruments, singing and claiming to be tight with half the CS population.
To keep Gina happy, please refer to the Apple iTunes App Store’s advice.

Ang “The Glam” Ke Qin
I have spent easily about 1 hour on Ke Qin’s post, trying to dig up some sort of ugly photo or past but to no avail. While the average person has about 2000 photos, Ke Qin has NINE THOUSAND. I patiently scrolled through all of them and found out that she looked glam in almost all of it! Ke Qin is our FOC’s business manager and is responsible for most of the stuff we are getting in the packages. She recently went onto a trip to Cambodia to help people (I think) and I helped too by buying cookies from her.
Well she did look glam in all her photos except for one which she was unfortunately tagged in HAHA.. a photo of Sophial Foo a fellow Gambino SA
Keith “Diva” Kay
Keith is known for his diva antics with highly quotable lines such as “BURN BITCH”. Behind his personality of a black diva resides a monster of an appetite. On one occasion, he consumed egg mcmuffin meal, big breakfast meal and helped someone else finish her hotcakes. Keith is also skilled in pulling off the pitiful puppy dog eyes and it may come useful come WKWFOC2011 when the freshies find out about his bane and weakness… STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT HIS WEAKNESS
Vinnie “Tigress” Quek
Vinnie is our resident tigress and the financial controller of FOC. The role suited her perfectly as I personally believe no one will dare to not pay Vinnie back on time. She is another avid photographer and can almost always be seen with a camera around her, always on the look out for unglam poses. I have fallen victim countless times to her sneak camera shots.
Vinnie’s Camera Photos pop up consistently on Facebook, not even playing Hockey stops her.

hi everyone ! (: wait no more, here’s your main committee (:
write ups will be added tomorrow, so watch this space!
*special thanks to Wallace Woon for the shots (:
The code of etiquette is considered very important in Japan. Being a Japanese OG, all incoming Shinrikyo freshies must thus learn how to respect their seniors. It is considered rude and disrespectful not knowing your seniors well enough before FOC. So I hereby present to you the Secret Manual to Knowing Shinrikyo’s Seniors: Volume 1.
All Shinrikyo freshies must diligently read the Manual, failing which you would bring dishonour to our family and could only regain it by performing seppuku (“stomach-cutting”, aka ritual suicide).
Chapter 1: Lau Kwee Fang
Name: Lau Kwee Fang
Age: 20
Birthday: May 3rd
Favourite Quotation: The more difficulties one has to encounter, with and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be. - Horace Bushnell.
WKWSCI is full of talented seniors. Many of us are fantastic singers and great dancers. But Kwee Fang’s talent is so rare that you probably never heard of it: Poi dance.
No, neither is “Poi” a Japanese word nor is it related to KOI bubble tea. Rather, it is a up and coming sport that involves the spinning of fire or light sticks to create formations and dance moves. Kinda like what Britney Spears was doing in her “I Wanna Go” MV. Lol. Check out the following video to see what poi dancing is really all about!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W46cP-SGxvQ
Apparently Kwee Fang even performed during this year’s Chingay!
This bubbly and enthusiastic senior is, however, humble about her unique talent. It took me a while to persuade her to show some moves for the freshies!
If you freshies are interested in watching her perform, or learn a couple of poi dance moves from her, do approach her during camp, or go stalk at her at Sentosa.
Chapter 2: Chan Long Teng
Name: Chan Long Teng aka Christopher
Age: 21
Birthday: October 30th
Favourite Books: Brave New World, Tuesdays with Morrie
As previously mentioned, many WKW seniors sing. But Long Teng (Rhymes with “long thing”. Do NOT think dirty.) sings better. He’s not your usual, boring choir singer. Just look at some of his slick moves:
The Michael Jackson of WKWSCI!
Woah, can you feel his burning passion for singing and raging emotions in his delivery? He single-handedly redefined choir performance. An inspiration to all aspiring vocalists, he’s also a helpful senior. If you need any vocal lessons, feel free to look for him. Confirm cheaper than looking for Dick Lee or Lee Wei Song.
Chapter 3: Ng Pinli
Name: Ng Pinli
Age: 19
Birthday: October 31st
About her: WKW Soccer legend
Who says WKW is all about being arty farty? We are also equally brilliant in the sporting arena as well! Despite our small cohort, we fought hard as warriors during Inter-School Games and our fellow Shinrikyo SA (better known as the soccer legend) owned the battlefield scoring a hat trick in one of the matches!
And no, she’s not scary, just very spotty (sporty, hehe) in this spotlight! She could probably own you boys out there in soccer! Get to know her yourself and learn a trick or two (or maybe a hat trick too) from her!
Chapter 4: Su Hui
Name: Su Hui
Age: 21
Birthday: May 24
Favourite TV shows: The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother
Programmers have to be stern and firm for a reason. But when they let their hair down, you see the crazy and fun side of them (the normal state of a CS student actually).
She’s almost as new to CS as you freshies are, because she’s an elite student who transferred from HSS Sociology to WKWSCI to pursue her passion! But she’s so sociable, she fit in almost immediately!
And guys, don’t be fooled by her shy and demure appearance, she’s a totally different animal by the night! Haha.
Boren Ang
One moment he’s a policeman in The Martyr (0:26~0:28), the next moment he becomes a badass robber. Is he bi-polar? Maybe, but what we know for certain is that this poor boy suffers from something called the ‘Boren syndrome’. The disease happens to be so rare, that it was named after this “pioneer”.
Let us elaborate:
Amnesia usually entails the sufferer to forget fundamental things, like the person he/she is, what his/her name is. In this case, “Boren syndrome” is EXACTLY like amnesia. Boren has completely forsaken who he was during freshman orientation camp 2010, and in our opinions, it’s such a freaking shame. WE LOVED HIM, OR SHOULD I SAY HER. hyak hyak.
A person suffering from amnesia usually forgets a whole series of important events. ‘Boren syndrome’ however, only causes the diseased to “forget” or rather DENY ONE SINGLE EARTH-SHATTERING, GROUND-BREAKING, IMPRESSION DEFINING event. This is despite evidence to prove otherwise.
The ignorance/denial of his disease has led him to become paranoid, claiming that the man in the photograph is an imposter doppelganger. You be the judge.
Personally, we feel that it is impossible for there to be a gorgeous Boren lookalike out there, life isn’t a bed of roses you know.
Despite possessing this extraordinarily weird ailment, Boren is still our beloved SA and sub-programmer, who will definitely not forget the score in games. Do embrace his specialness if you want to have an easy and fun time at your stations. (:
Susmitha Changaroth
Susmitha Chang.a.roth: remember the name people, and HIDE YO ASSES.
No, literally.
Sus likes big butts and she cannot lie. Checking them out, rating them, poking them, and most of all slapping them. If you get yours slapped by her, trust us it’s an honour – it’s a sign she thinks you’re cool.
However, if you express any form of hesitance or reluctance to come for group gatherings or do crazy things with her (and believe me this girl is crazy), she transforms into Saddam Sussein, dictator of social gatherings, she will make sure you come.
Hence, it seems only fitting that she joins Vollaro, after all, it is the place where dictators of the modern world seem to be uniting. With Jung Gong and Sussein around, we don’t even know how it’s possible for Vollaro to lose.
Also, Sus really loves WKWSCI. Case-in-point: she once ran into an ongoing ADM (Art, Design, Media) tutorial class yelling “WEE KIM WEE ROCKS!!” and ran away. You shoulda seen their stunned faces. Yes, the girl is crazy.
But dictatorship/butt-conquering/yelling aside, Sus is really a sweet person with a penchant for colourful things. Most girls talk about how a little black dress is essential in a wardrobe. This girl will wholeheartedly disagree. Black clothes are to her what Kryptonite is to Superman. Her fashion sense mirrors her personality perfectly. Yeah, Sus really does have the most bright and cheerful persona around.
Also, she has a really soft spot for…
ANIMALS.
She was even Vice-President of the Animal Welfare Society in her JC days.
This is her dog, Scamper. The cutest little schnauzer. Look at those itty bitty paws. Awwwwww…
This girl has the biggest heart for dogs, no wonder she and Kar Weng get along so splendidly.
Anyway, with a whooping number of THIRTY ONE seniors in Vollaro, we are sorry that we can’t feature every single one of them. They are all funky and sweet in their own ways so we will leave it up to YOU to know them better during FOC (or in school since some seniors couldn’t attend the camp )’:) .
V formation after our BBQ gathering

To end this hand-crafted message off, here’s a little somethin’ from your seniors. <3
As FOC draws closer, it’s time for us to get IDENTITIES for the freshies & SAs!! We went researching on interesting blue items. Since we are all very (s)excited about the camp, Jonathan contributed A-LOT.
The one item he was most excited about was:
Blue Condom Suit.
And he proclaimed:
But sorry to disappoint you guys, we couldn’t find this anywhere.
Next on the list was:A Brenda-Bunny Imposter.
Awesome right. But we thought this was too disturbing, and only Brenda could pull it off.
Third item, which Jonathan proudly presented was:
Ah-Ma Underwear.
Very secure and safe right?
Okay, those were just for laughs :D. In truth, we made trips down to several places to check out potential identities! And these were the items we thought were suitable. But only 1 is the actual identity!
Few Days Later…
We went to collect our identities!! Too bad, Brenda couldn’t join us cause she was away. ): So it was down to 3 of us.
The pictures are blurred to retain the sekret. Collection of Identities!
Store owner’s face: :-D (She must have made a lot of $$…she DID.)
Agron’s strong OGL: Jonathan. He carried the heavy bag of identities using only 1 arm.
Brandishing our newest weapon!
Brenda, we know you were watching over us.
xoxo,
Agron
HOWDY FRESHIES!
I’m sure you have heard enough about the GLs (I know I have), so now we turn our attention to our important SAs (Seniors Attached) who will be supporting and guiding the OG of Gambino through out the 5 days! Here is a brief introduction of them and hopefully you will find out more about them during FOC itself!
Loh “Bossy Bitch” Junwei
Jun Wei is popularly known as a resident bitch of Gambino and some even say WKW. However behind this bitchy persona is a highly misunderstood meticulous and helpful person who gets things done efficiently and quickly. So freshies, for latest news fresh from the rumour mill and organisational skills, you know who to call!
Spottings: Moonlighting as the courtesy lion
Agnes “Hand Fetish” H.S.K (Hum Sup Kia not Ho Seok Kian)
Oh yes I actually went back a long way to find this picture
Agnes Ho is someone who is able to sniff out any sexual innuendos from the most innocuous statements, so be prepared! Any sly grin is a giveaway of her hum supness being active. However freshies, no need to fear as she is highly friendly as you will soon find out!
Trivia: Her hand fetish. She rates people’s hands so freshies please line up for evaluation!
Guess this hand! (Mine) For reference it rates a 9/10 on the Agnes-Hand Scale.
Wong “Simba” Jing Ying
Her gleaming white teeth and thick mane of fiery yellow/red hair has drawn comparisons with simba of The Lion King. Before we knew it, it is now her nickname. Jingying who is also the welfare of WKWFOC ensures that we all be taken care of and well fed (For her consumption??).
Positivity Aspect: Simba is also known to occasionally motivate us especially during troubled times such as exams with motivational posters such as this.
Lim “Ah Lian” Ping Hui
Our honorary general secretary handles all the nitty gritty admin stuff of FOC. However, her sweet demeanour is just a faux persona for her ah lian-ness as within a few seconds, she easily looked like which is what we all will get if we do not cooperate with her admin duties.
Fear: Cats and she will never fail to pull off the greatest disappearing act once any appears. So specially for her…
Tami “Model” Lai
Despite Tami having a fearsome scowl and rather be left alone, she somehow receives the most bullying and attention from males. Due to our exaggeration, Tami has somewhat gained a celebrity status with a model page of her existing on Facebook and a Twitter account in her name of @theFAKEtttttami. But at the end of the day she is a programmer of WKWFOC and a Gambino SA so please play nice and provide her the respect she deserves.
Trivia: Example of her popularity within the school of WKW.
Chan “Squared” Jing Hao
One of the most misunderstood males of Gambino, his badass chao ah beng looks have been ruined by the nickname of Spongebob (due to his square shaped head) and his participation in the sport of Cheerleading. But within this highly symmetrical shaped head of his resides many talents, including the guitar, directing, singing (or screaming in karaokes) and being a partner in crime.
Other Jobs: Spongebob Squarepants
Sophial “SoFail” Foo(l)
Head this warning seriously freshies, Sophial is a highly greedy individual and can forever be seen eating be it in pictures or in real life. Any food disappearances can be always traced back to her somehow and I have seen with my own eyes 4 people holding her back to stop her from rampaging to a birthday cake for Ping Hui from Awfully Chocolate. True story.
Guess what’s wrong?: A plan made by our business manager Sophail Foo HAHA.
Stay tune for more updates on our other 7 SAs of Keqin, Gina, Jocelyn, Keith, Edward, Yan Hui and Vinnie!
CIAO!
Yours Sincerely,
Gambino GLs Mark and Carrie
