Graduation Day

yup that was it.
the last day being students of Catholic High School.
indeed, it has been a long time. 10 full years.
i had mixed feelings. one part of me couldnt wait to leave, yet the other part couldnt bear to leave.
i know i'll miss alot of people, too many to mention. Teachers, classmates, schoolmates.

Yet quite sian cause its before o levels, so very hard to enjoy the day.

hello one and all!
apologies for the stagnant period, ive been wayyy too busy to update!
with band practices at ACJC and VJC, i only have mondays, fridays, sundays free~!
thus the remaining time is used to slack at home and play computer! (Darkages is my love)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to cut it short, cause im feeling damn lazy, o levels was okay i guess.
eng: the best B3 cause i screwed my strongest component, compo.
maths: one good one not so good
sciences: phys and chem are hopeful
humanities: lit is a goner, geog elect is hopeful
higher chinese: i might do quite well!
that is all for my o levels! hopefully i'd do well and enter ACJC with good grades!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

more events to blog about...like so many!
they are:
-Graduation Night
-ACJC Band
-VJC Band
-Graduation Ceremony
-Class BBQ

2008-11-03T21:20:00.002+08:00

hello peeps!
damn slack now, i swear. not good.
a few quick shouts!

1: i thank you all for spamming my tagboard while im not free to do anything about it.
2: wongbong, you got some seriously weird ways of encourging people to study
3: i realised that ive gained 7KGS SINCE O LEVEL BEGUN!!!! thats like ONE KG per 2 days! and i gained a collective of 5KGS within a consecutive 3 days! and theres two more weeks to go!!!!

there it is.
im gonna miss stevens tuition, with the funny people and more importantly the funny teacher.

2 more weeks, and paradise here i comeeee!!!!

2008-10-02T19:42:00.003+08:00

oh yeahhh
o levels in 18 days!
and im still not pushing myself to the limit.

vertical limit, the gridirons etc etc. all these are HBO shows. interesting, motivational too. after i watch these i'd suddenly become very UP, then go mug. then the feeling slowly die off...
what is this!?

the sun/wed steven tuition has been going fine~
2-3hrs nia. have to meet at amk by 8am everytime, and im always the first. punctual kid. but everytime after tuition its already like 12 or 1...too late to go library already. no seats anywhere! sians. heartpain.
but the good part is that tuition is actually Fun! mdm lin too funny already. can i always somehow either get picked on by her, or i unintentionally aggravate her =S.
oh my new foolscape pad says that "=X" is actually a big kiss! i showed it to weilin and she was like "huH, really?" ah well, no harm done to anyone on my part~

o levels is indeed approaching.
lessons are ending later and later.
the time left to study is shortening incredably.
place to be at = AMK LIB! (grr 1st oct public holiday i forgot lib not open...)

i guess i can just maintain my results now and still go ACJC, but NO!
i must do well still, to prove my worth to myself.

My remaining motivation (activities after o levels):
1. go crazy
2. take crack
3. beat someone up
....................okay just kidding, now in no order of merit,

1. go home late daily
2. snack on chocolates 24/7
3. learn martial arts for self-defence =)
4. go ice-skating for the first time with friends
5. play basketball daily
6. travel half of singapore just to shop for chocolates
7. organise gatherings and parties for no reason
8. join Rotaract Club of Raffles City! (disturb kaifen and etc people)
9. play darkages online
10. improve the pathetic or non-existant dancing skills
11. watch all the hk dramas daily
12. explore singapore, make sure at least i know more than audrey!
13. disturb wongbong daily
14. go back chssb room and crash practices
15. master the chssb mace
16. make my 2.4km timing 9min and below
17. go catch sunrise and sunsets at the best locations of singapore
18. make bear cry
19. make chongxin cry
20. watch tv, play com, talk on phone, sms, chat on msn all at the same time
21. read comics daily
22. ka jiao my godsisters
23. find the cute william and bully him. eg, pinch his cheek

and alot more to go!
but for NOW,
its TIME TO WAKE UP!
18 days, omgomgomgomgomgomgogmomgomg!

after o levels, i swear i'll be a changed person!!
but now i'll mug!

2008-09-16T01:49:00.008+08:00

emo strike.

i was studying my biology, when i chanced upon your book you lent me.
intially all was fine.
then, your handwriting made me think about you.
i began to recall, and slowly drift from my work...

On the train,
how you were so close to me then.
how you drew closer as we spoke although the train wasnt crowded, till we were just cheek to cheek apart.
how i felt my heart race with joy.
how i wished time froze for me, to allow me to savor that moment more.
how i wished both train rides have lasted forever.

then the song played on my walkman was "Jenny" by the click five. i imagined your name there. with the lyrics, it all sounded fine.

i remembered telling myself sometime back how i would be you behind me. it seemed so easy to say.
i swore to myself i would never let you find out, i have been successful so far.
i hate myself for feeling like this even after all these years.
i reach out for a hug...to nothingness. My pillow would have to suffice for now to curb the soft, sour feeling deep inside.

i tried to ignore you,
giving you the short replies,
seemingly uninterested,
but actually hurting deep inside.

you shouldnt matter to me
you aint gonna make my heart race
you aint gonna make me soft inside

but the fact remains,
that i miss you terribly tonight.

2008-09-13T23:09:00.003+08:00

life is just so wonderful.
you draw close to o level, you get stressed up, you have to do nothing but study all day.
after o level passes, you gotta watch out for a levels.
life is just so wonderful.

i think im in deep shit.
i took the amath paper 2, and at first it was going okay. then later i was like, wth!? why cant i do this simple question?
karma, i believe.
the 4 years of sleeping and slacking, i guess its now payback time.

okay on a happier note.
i went over to bryan's place at night for their gathering.
he asked me, so i told my mum i was going to study lit there. (those under the age of 16 shouldnt be learning from this) but i did do my lit there.
well, justin and him cooked italian dinner for like 8 people? i only helped out a little at the end xD.
the rest came later on and they were all very high after that when everyone began crapping.
later in the night i began sniffing and sneezing...must be long-distance transmittion or something, haha.

met 3 new people. ming hong, waiteng and kor woong. thats how you spell it, i think.
ming hong's robin's friend,
kor woong has flu, (and looks alot like my cousin to me)
waiteng does lit and is pei wen's cca mate!

She: hey you know i do lit too?
Me: ohh really? you know i dont see how people write so many pages for the.....1hr40mins lit paper?
She: yeah...
Me: i see people do like what, 4/5 pages??
She: i wrote 8 sides of a page. (8 pgs)
Me: okayy.....whooaaaaaaa.....

i had damn lot of fun. they lived lives i can only admire. if only my parents were less restrictive.
they even insisted on coming over to drive me back home -.-
perhaps im just too stressed up.
as usual, i left the earliest. oh wells.

dont want o levels to begin,
yet cant wait for it to end.

2008-09-10T21:12:00.003+08:00

okay so im the the midst of my prelims.
Amaths paper 1 was totally GONE, vamoose!
that did hurt. well currently im struggling to complete the whole bio syllabus in one day, or rather, one night.

Me: tmr got bio and i havent started much
Jiamin: then you better study first
Me: Yup~
Jiamin: just imagine that bio is a pretty lady
Me: HAHA

i tell you, that was something i never expected out of her. suddenly so humourous.
but it was a cute comment, no doubt.

but why did she use such a anecdote/ incentive on me?
do i seem like someone who will get motivated by such things??

NO RIGHT!

p.s. haha, i just incidentally uncovered a truth about this classmate, secretly trying to get close to my ex. tsk! nowonder he was always defending her. to think they are complete strangers and used me as a cover =X. it makes me really wanna laugh, but no matters, i applaud this dude, & sincerely wish you luck!

2008-09-02T22:01:00.002+08:00

okay life is shitty.
like how you try to find time to relax and just stoning seems satisfying enough.
anyways!
mrs yap adviced me, this once-upon-a-time-top-in-class-for-english-and-recently-doing-worse-than-foreign-students, to continue writing, and keep the thought flowing. she mentioned blog too, hm , guess i could give it a virgin try.
okay serious now, no more crap words and self-invented words.
a few paragraphs a day, hopefully my bad english will go away!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently i've been trying to get back on track, get back on this competitive route in this competitive society.
My problem studying at home, is that im too free with myself. I wouldnt be focused at all, slouching, walking around, lured to go to bed, will be attempting to find an excuse to turn on the computer, my hands touching myself everywhere and whatnots.
My solution was to coop myself up in the nearby library. Because my self-consciousness side would surface, and i'd at least TRY to make it seem as if i were a hardworking student.
Hopefully i would be successful in fully utilising my time there.

However, i think someone up there likes me.
For 3 consecutive days, as i was going leave the house, it'd start pouring.
And after i enter the library and settled down, it'll be all sunshine out there.
Someone must like me.

But i have been lucky.
No matter what time i would go, no matter how crowded the library would be at that time, i would be able to get a seat at the table. Fortunately, for 2 days consecutively i had the same table mates! Today as i was walking around, there wasnt a place to seat. I browsed down the row and saw the 2 guys again. When we saw each other from a distance, we couldnt help but smile uncontrollably at each other, for they knew i was looking for a seat, and there was one vacent at their table.

It was rather annoying, as soon enough a handfull of children, perhaps 10 to 12 year olds, seated on the floor near us. They were talking very loudly to each other and treating the library like a playground, being engaged in their own fun and games. When people turned to look at them they did not even care, and continued the racket. One adult even said "SHHH!" and they did not stir.

I, being short-tempered, couldnt not stand it any longer. I closed my thick chemistry textbook loudly, pretended to stretch my arms, and dropped it on the floor.
There was a noticeable bang sound, and they stopped.
I reached down slowly and purposefully to retrieve my book, intentionally apologising aloud to them, hoping they would get a hint.
It was all wishful thinking on my part, for they immediately continued their nonsense.

I shot up from my seat, annoyed, and squatted beside the boy who was now speaking to his friends loudly. His conversation paused in mid-air when he spotted me. Everyone looked at me. A few girls giggled, then there was silence. Time seemed to have froze at that scene, with everyone staring at this teenager squatting beside a group of children on the floor, smiling to them. The silence continued and i drew closer to the children and muttered softly to them (content which shall not be disclosed), still smiling.

As i redrew and went back to my seat, everyone resumed their work. The children did not make any further noticeable noises anymore. All the intentional sighs from the people concentrating from their work ceased, their knitted eyebrows now relaxed. Peace was restored in the library.

The next interruption was roughly 3 hours later.
A group of 3 girls sat at the vacent table infront of mine.
They were rather lively, chatting actively amongst themselves and often breaking into laughter. It was fine, except one girl. With thick black spectacles, and black dotted top, this girl was unusually noticeable.
Usually girls would just giggle or maybe a slight snigger. She was more than that. Her laughs were powerful bursts of laughter. Every 10 secs or so you would hear a sudden rush of air, accompanied by a loud snigger. That was the sound she makes when she was amused. I could only hear her. Ironic, for she sat furthest away from me compared to the other two.

There wont be complaints coming from me, no sir. But when i looked up, she seemed vaguely familiar. I paid no attention, and continued reading my biology textbook page 100. When i looked up again...yes, she did remind me of someone. My eyes widened. Is it her? Do i know her? Oh God, please tell me its not RJ!
Yes, RJ (initials used so as to not offend anyone). I swear my heart skipped a beat as that suspicion surfaced in my mind.
You see, i have had a rather bad experience with this ex-tuition friend of mine. This girl reminded me of RJ. Not only similar in facial features, but that laughter and eccentric personality...it was totally alike! Both of them are equally...maybe a nice term would be "noticeable".
I hieved a sigh of relief soon after, for i realised it wasnt RJ. This girl, in fact, looks like a mix of RJ and P, two friends i have no dying wish to see for some time.
Thankfully, she was neither. Still very "noticeable" though.

People turned around to look at them, to no avail. They didnt pay attention to any of us.
Seeing that this time these are people of my age, i cant find an excuse to think unlike previously "they're just playful children". So i didnt bother to do anything, but to draw out my walkman and tune to Sick Puppies!

The day ended off well as i left at 7.30pm. I took my time to leave and as i planned, managed to get home by 8pm to catch my favourite hongkong drama show on!

2008-08-30T16:02:00.002+08:00

okayokay.
this is some sick entertainment for those sick people out there.
so here goes one recent msn conversation with this total stranger who added me on msn...

2008-08-09T23:14:00.010+08:00

Rotary Club Of Raffles City Installation

went home immediately after the RVIC event cause no one hanging out.

waimin they all tried to sabo jin hwee to say she wants to hang out and ask me go out with her, but failed =).

that was when, wongbong told me about the people cursing me thingy (refer to previous post).

i then crossed the overhead bridge alone as only i lived in the other side of the country.

i saw edmund and i followed him up on the bus (luckily it was going the same route).
we left like darn early okay, 5pm or something? when the event was starting like 7pm?

cant be helped, my dad part of organising this thingy.

got super well dressed, and we were off!

the ladies were all supposed to wear the indian costume...gosh i had to witness my mother take more time than ever to dress and make up...

i realied wongbong and the other interactors all reach already.

one of them...clement i think, tempines (i cant spell!) jc.

he was like guessing age later...then when i told him i was 16...

"16!? whoa, you look even older than me!!"

thanks alot dude.

i age rapidly, yes. people can mistake me for kaifen's boyfriend when we hang out (kaifen is 26 this year...)

but those interactors very friendly, coolios.

the rotaractors were stationed at the front desk, shu yan, yeewan and all.

meridian mandarin hotel is as good as ever. posh place.

the interactors were made to help become ushers for the night.

i, as the son of a rotarian, bear no responsibilities!

thus i just slouched and drank and ate small tidbits infront of them, just to spite them =D.

but i was nice, brought them 2 glasses of water later on.

li lao shi came earlier than expected. she said she wanted to sleep and only sneak in afterwards.

she was very cute, it seems as if she were only a teenager, for someone who is actually a mother of 3.

the night's guest of honour was our very own presidant SR Nathan!

and i was seated like 3m away from him only for the whole night.

he came with 2 bodyguards and one guy fully dressed in military costume (like some general or commando).

i was shocked, expecting like a whole squad to be surround the pres that night. guess it would spoil the fun with so many soldiers around.

the president sat together with the club's president and president-to-be.
and wongbong they all were seated so far away. all together at a table but me.

as usual, jereme, janice, and julius (the 3 J sibling) sat at the same table as my bro and i. close friends what.
before we begin, the MC of the night told us to refrain from making any sudden movements around the president...for our own good xD.

but whenever someone approached the president to even talk and all, the bodyguard would rush over to ensure everything's fine. there was a time when i thought the bodyguard ran across the room to the president.

since the next pres of RCRC was Rotarian Rajaram, it was more of a different culture and element to that night. like how last year when Rotarian Johnson was going to be the pres it was the Shanghai theme, and everything was so cheena.

they invited an indian singer. she was like in her 50s, but her voice was GOOD. matured and strong, very amazing. plus they had indian dancers later on and this scene whereas the guy and the girl sang to each other.

for the indian women singer, she later invited all the "children in red and green coats to come up on stage" to sing along! that means wongbing they all xD

okay the whole event was really long.

damn tired and lazy to talk about it...too much already.

it was a fun event, very formal, good food, got wongbong for me to bully n ka jiao.

satisfied.

found out from weilin that they had a surprise test of paper 2 that night for tuition. she said it was out to kill them, and she couldnt sms much as she needed to chiong the paper. kan jiong spider sia, as if she'll ever have to stay back to complete.

amazing, it was the first one since the new year began.

and i wasnt there =D!

Fate.

wong took this w/o me knowing
the rotaractors
my dad and the taipei sister club people! (dad with different coloured tie)
some secret between yeewan and wong.
Yeewan is like every-ready, haha.
the rotary wheel logo, nice right?
its actually made up of pictures put together!
the J,J and J.

awaiting the arrival of the president

hot stuff in front! (military man)

2 bodyguards

this picture depicts a scene of a ballroom. the president's bodyguard at the background is looking very anxious over at the president. i think he's gonna spring over anytime
all children got called up to sing, i didnt. too bad, look too old already =P

the president leaves, and RCRC president at the background

nuts man.

its been so long since CHMA, and i feel as if it were yesterday...
in fact, can you believe its about 20 days already?
ive been having alot of events and other activities since, and i just finished one today, hopefully my last.
let me begin from the event i had after CHMA to my best recollection...

River Valley High School Interact Club Annual Installation

i cant believe wongbingbong talked me into performing for them on the 2nd Aug, especially when they had like very good performers already!

anyways, my parents were busy at the Rotary Installation planning and setting up so i had to go there myself.
Was all dressed up, and took an mrt followed by a bus. Everyone kept staring.

When i reached the bus stop of RV, the side gate was locked -.-... the sun was scorching hot...
Yes, my hair being very stubborn, went flat again when my gel went useless as i perspired..
i entered the LT 4 and saw my old RYLA friends and some others immediately ( waimin, xiaohui, kk, jin hwee, dianfeng, etc etc)

Yes i was late. luckily i insisted in going out to warm up first as Rachel and tong was already nudging me to go up on stage to rehearse.

i did my routine warm ups of long tones just outside the LT, as the RV band was having sectionals and they were everywhere else. i was being considerate and stuck close to the LT, not wanting to disturb them.
Nearest to me were the saxophone section, but i went to a spot so we wouldnt be able to see each other and interrupt each other.

Yet, after the event wongbong told me they were cursing me behind my back after that for "showing off" and being "arrogant"....really puzzled by their reaction, as i had no intention to. it was plain long tones.

anyways, i began to feel very cold as the event began. must be evaporation.
Rotarian Ron and Brian was present, and so was Li lao shi.
the handing over was somewhat similar to last years, only i kept feeling the urge to laugh as i see wongbong on stage and make speeches and picturing her leading her RVIC group of like 100+ people. so cute, she is.

the performances were good. indian dance was funny, beatbox was nice (ernest was better, i felt), and the solo dancer was amazing la. its the type of nutty dance i wanna learn next time.

so im up, and i was labelled the "Guest performer from Catholic High".
played you raised me up and cant take my eyes off you, the two pieces i wanted to play on CHMA but didnt. (kinda regret, now knowing so many friends were supporting and rooting for me on it)
spoke like a sentence or two before i played, made people laugh. that was the ambience i preferred.

did well overall, Rotarian Brian and Ron complimented me, together with other people.
satisfied enough. went for reception with the gang, talked alot of nonsense and disturbed huihui =).
Wongbong all dressed up and all makes me wanna laugh.

then li lao shi and mrs chan was like "argueing over money".
what "243.70, not 273.40, you're mathematics fail ah??" and "no, i want the 30cents back!" and "why only give me 4 50$ notes?" and finally "you must give me the exact amt of chance first!"

the whole scene was so cute okay, we all kept laughing as we witnessed it.

rushed home, cause at night going for the Rotary Club of Raffles City Installation 2008.
weilin very good. got time to go watch movies and all then no time to go watch me perform. you good.

Rachel with Rotarian Ron, Li lao shi behind Rtn Ron

looks kinda wrong huh. "lets go eat now~"

RVIC installation 2008

2008-07-26T23:50:00.006+08:00

busy period, as usual.
you know, this is all one big vicious cycle.
ah well, guess whining about it wouldnt do much of a help.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chma's over, and now alot of things are quite dull and blend compared to that period of time.
i still recall towards the last few night rehearsals we all like went crazy and moshed and danced and sang aloud like nobody's business.
it was one great stress relief though.
many people got a surprise when they saw me on stage as the host, guess cause i tried to keep a low profile on that, afraid of screwing up xD.

from one of the audience i got so "lucky" to pick out qiming's gf.
i only realised so after the cat high bunch start yelling "oh die, qi ming gona kill you."
luckily he was magnanimous, as i truely didnt know.
unlike Justin Kor-ninabei, keep harping over the matter.
many said they've seen a side of me like how they never noticed before.
for those who refused to come, though a lil disappointed..YOUR LOSS!
ah well, really happy nevertheless!

a big thanks to eugene, cherie, cassandra, weilin, jo-lin, wongbong and many others for supporting me! (after alot of encouragement by me!)

gained new friends, found back old friends (disappointing to know that some are actually very practical in viewing some things).
a rose to a fair lady, at least one of em really seems to appreciate it =).

surprise surprise!=)
front desk
are the lightings cool or what?

that journey back that night, sighh =). it didnt last, unfortunately.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
k, life sucks, studying bores the hell out of me.
for those who may not havec known by now,
i received 3 DSA phase 1 offers.
Anderson JC, Temasek JC, Anglo-Chinese JC.
after MUCH considering and discussion,

im going to ACJC! woohoo!

if id known earlier i wouldnt have encouraged some friends to leave acjc after first 3 mths...haha, then can be in same school~
-------------------------------------------------------------------
just returned not too long ago from stevens tuition.
mdm lin today arrow eugene instead of me! wow!
sad case everyone forbidden to sit beside eugene.
and i still recall the ONLY time mdm lin didnt go arrow me..that day i rushed over after the Rotaract Installation of Raffles City. i wore very formally: long sleeve, pants, dress shoes, tie and all.
mdm lin laughed when she saw me.
that was the only time she said "just sit anywhere you want!"
everyone got a tickling shock of surprise from that.

and today tuition was a very interesting topic!

we wrote about how the % of newly wed couples get aids increases extensively.

then as mdm lin discussed the topic with us,

somehow linked to aids, then link to sex, then link to transvesites, then link to gay sex, link to oral and anal, then link to aids.

some classmates were laughing, some were grossed out, some blur blur. dont know feigning inno or not haha!

mdm lin wrote anal and oral in chinese in the board, then quickly cleaned it off, fearing parents may walk past..

Nice!

my chocolate craving came, and i struggled to open the packet of chocolate. stupid bag so tight.

weilin offered her help and tore it from the side instead of trying to pull open from the middle like i did. now she's harping over the matter that i cant open a bag of chocolate ><.

anyways, on the way home she was like abit jokingly angry i cant recall her birthday. i missed it by one day.

i turned around and asked her mine.

weilin: "erms....september??"

haha~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well well, its sunday already...
in a few hours you'll see in somewhere in singapore, situated there for the whole day.
i hope i can get some work done outside home...
very unlikely.

CHMA WAS SIMPLY A BLAST

today was catholic high music awards 2008 (saturday).
wow, after 3 rehearsals, it finally came.
i cant believe how nervous i was.
i was the Host of the 6th CHMA.

overall: i screwed up a few times =(...and what the hell the crowd was so rough, especially people in the front row.
saddened by the fact that they are actually people i know, who make use of the situation to gain attention.
some threw the postcards given to them, and one even flew and hit a girl's eyelid. that, was a very close one. the "best" part was, that they didnt know when to stop.

HOWEVER!
it was great, especially when i first stepped out.
people were shock, some gasped.
perhaps cause i kept the thing about me being the emecee quite low profile.
NICE.

the whole event was so cool, but i had to miss the opening lightshow.
the imedia was so brilliant during the actual thing, that there were actually no problems with the technical stuff. this caused me to not be able to perform a piece on my sax which i planned to use. ah well, a good thing that there were no hic-cups!

later on, i did the fire trick and presented a flower to the audience. the cat high ppl got jealous and jeered at me xD. what a cute reaction from them.

through this event, got to know so many people better.
made quite a few new friends.
woohoo!

anyways, so many people to thank. like the imedia crew, miss chow for giving me this chance, mark for guiding me all along, and all my friends/supporters =).

they were simply the best. and rachel got me a flower haha so funny.
after everything, went J8 for a drink and saw alot of cat high people there.
haha mostly is the track team la.

i went home with very mixed emotions.
very happy before the event, was like dancing and singing during the rehearsal la.
very happy during the event, the audience was nice and hopping!
very very happy after the event, haha, just for some reasons.
but quite sad as i went home..

and now, feeling rather empty and cold inside...knowing i wont be experiencing as much as i did tonight. so much has happened over these few days during chma, and so much has happened tonight.
i think i wanna cry.

i dont know what will happen next,
will it all just resume to normal after this?
whereas what we experience today drift apart like how it did?
perhaps it would, i dont expect much anyways...

i wish we could stay fozen at that point of time. till eternity i wouldnt mind.

2008-06-30T16:11:00.019+08:00

well well well, firstly, i need to THANK wongbingbong and miss shameless for reminding me that my school reopens TODAY.

yup thanks ALOT you two...now i'll remember you for that one.

had an eventful weekend, pretty saddening though.

i am officially CHSSB's Alumni member.

on sat we had our POP, (Passing Out Parade, wongbong)

i cannot believe it, im no longer in band... it seemed as if yesterday that i first stepped into the band room, and see only a few familiar faces and groan at the coming years.

seemed as if so recent that i became the Drum Major..

And now, im no longer in band...

sigh.

when i first entered the band room, already there were the usual few doing indecent acts.

went with the banana to J8 to get stuff for our juniors. darn i really drained all the juice from my wallet! like perhaps a rough amount of $100 on my juniors? isnt it supposed to be MY pop =/?

rushed back to school for the pop as it was getting late, and banana couldnt walk faster than me, giving excuses that he was in jeans thats why.

changed, and went to the grandstand for the actual pop. but first, we took some pictures together!

As usual, the routine followed. When it came to my turn to pass down my post, luke did his macework, followed by me. I broke the old mace, which luke had to use for pop (sorry man!). But, we purchased a new one and i handed that down to him. Amazingly, i didnt drop the new mace while doing stunts with it and i received applauds.

After the ceremony, we went to the audi for the pop song and video.

the band still sounded not bad, judging from the number of people they had left to play the 2 pieces. the video they prepared was good, but so CHEENA!

bryan and kit chong were both so cute and dramatic in the video.

For bryan you gotta listen to the words, for kit chong you must watch his facial expressions.

it was touching, weird, funny, awkward, all at the same time..check it out http://www.chssband.blogspot.com, the one posted there is only the interview session, without the music and pictures.

then, we had pizza for dinner!

and my section gave me a VERY MEMORABLE basket of gifts.

it contained 2 boxes of chicken, one bagfull of toufu (which tasted like crap. we played number game on that one to finish it off as much as possible), one saxophone study, pictures of XuSong when he was little, pictures of them touching and playing other instruments (prohibited), 2 boxes of Premium condoms (the thinnest ones).

what can i say, i was speechless =).

we went back to the band room, when we had the Chair Session.

It was a time when the graduating members would one by one go take the seat at the podium and share with the band his final say and thoughts. it was a session many of us pondered upon alot, even for me, occasionally.

NG IL SHAN spent 20 MINS there, GOSH! (compared to 5-10mins the rest had spent each)

i tell you, the main drain of my energy that night came from his lengthy speech.

he as concert master even wanted me the drum major to go up first... -_- (though he didnt really insist).

my turn soon came and i got jun wei to video me with my handphone. THANKS junwei, happy now? yes your cam skills very pro-DED!

before i could finish, my lousy hp ran out of memory space...anyways will upload whatever is filmed down.

I miss band, i miss the music, i miss the people.

Till now, i cannot believe my band life has ended.

Till now, i cannot believe i am no longer part of CHSSB.

Till now, i cannot believe i can no longer pump and abuse my juniors whenever i like =X.

I have finished my time.

These people made a great difference in my life.

Though ive left them, my mind and heart will always remain there.

Thank You Very Much,

i'll miss you all till the end of time.

ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE BROTHERHOOD.

its been some time.

many things have happened since my last post, but im too lazy to blog about it.

so very briefly...

you know in churchs on film, they'd say:

"Forgive me, Father, for i have sinned"

SINS:

1) Broke the actual CHSSB Mace

2) spent late nights on msn/whatnots

3) bought costly gifts upcoming P.O.P

4) went out with wongbingbong

5) finished a whole chunk of belgian chocolate last midnight

6) havent raise the blood level of ms.shameless in a long time

7) a crush on Kim Jeong Hwa

i wanted to find an antonym of sin to list down what i did, but i couldnt find the proper word even when wongbong gave me a reference link....i thought again and decided to drop it, since i cant recall doing anything besides the one mentioned above.

1) yup im the first ever drum major to cause such destructive impacts on the mace. the stick actually snapped. but it was purely an accident, for i caught the mace at its tip on the bottom, and the weight above was too much for the stick to bear...thus the ol thing gave way. CHSSB has broken its 1st ever mace by Springsfield Ong. i'm not proud of it.

2) i dont know what the hell i am doing...like now

3) sigh...what to do? for my section juniors i spent a fortune...

4) its not her, its me. as in the fact that i went out was bad...yup.

5) well, i always love to have chocolates while i read comics...opps!

6) she deserves it!

7) i have this sudden crush on Kim Jeong Hwa!

the romance/comedy of SpyGirl was a really cool show.

2008-06-19T23:29:00.005+08:00

once, i was asked this very weird question.
"Why are you a buddhist?"
it was followed by a series of questions which questioned buddhism.

the things i post here are strictly my own experiences and opinion, dont start argueing with me about anything religious cause im too shallow to entertain that.

my knowledge of my own religion is very shallow, and i am ashamed of that.
but i still believe it, some reason or another.
not just because my parents and relatives are all buddhists, not just under influence.
things often happen, unexplainable, but true.

everytime there were to be a prediction made, from the Qian you get in prayer in temples, it would be unbelievably accurate. there are like dont know dozens and dozens of FIXED Qians in the temples. and when you do the shake-shake thing and when one of the wooden sticks drop out, thats your lucky number to get for the Qian. Seeing IS believing. thus, this is one of the reasons in why i believe in my own religion.

never before, i shall now share a recent incident relating to my religion.
it were close to my Prelims 2. My parents were quite happy cause whenever they asked about my preparations i seemed to always come up with a convincing answer. however, it wasnt exactly true that my preparations were going well.

one day, my mum called me while i was in the library.
she told me she went to the temple, and the Qian she prayed for me read that i wasnt really well-prepared.
her tone was still, plain, but i could sense her worry and anxiety for me, as she said these simple few words.
She elaborated, that i wasnt focused.

Blatantly translated by me from chinese to english to simplified version from the fact:
the wordings on the Qian read that im not concentrating enough, and thus the things im studying isnt going into my brain. also, it says that im too meddlesome in a way, wanting to involve myself in alot of things, which are unneccessary during this examination period. and if i continue it will bring me no good out of it.

it was spot on. at that point of time i indeed were doing a few things i know i shouldnt be doing. my mum later actually told me on the phone, "you better not involve yourself with other people's problems...like your friends. If they have got any problem, they tell them you're busy and hang up on them. Its not worth your time!" she doesnt know anything about it, but she said all the right things. then she said "go think about it, you are old enough to know what to do....its no joke, dont Hai Si yourself."

this, brings me about my previous post.
this, was what i was referring to.
but, i was stubborn. i refused to heed.

now, i finally understood what it meant.
when i first that sms earlier on, it came to me as a shock.
it hit me impactfully somewhere inside.

guess i should have heeded the advice. tsk.
plain disappointment.

2008-06-16T23:46:00.003+08:00

i know i shouldnt be doing all these at this point of time..
but its just me!
its just how i would react, and what i would do...
how can you expect me to just close one eye and behave as if nothing happened?
=(

ps. this isnt about any relationship problem.

2008-06-15T01:25:00.003+08:00

have a sudden liking to this old song.
teenage dirtbag, nice!
cause im just a teenage dirtbag baby~

On the 14th of june, which is like a few hours ago,
i went with the self-proclaimed "miss lovely" to amk library to study.
gosh i kept sneezing and my nose was runny like hell!
my nose kept dripping, i kept having the feeling as if i were about to sneeze. i tried to subdue the feeling, which was like so horrible a feeling.

i went to the toilet like every 10-15 mins to blow my nose.
when i came back, i read a few lines and sneeze a while; then read a few lines; wipe my nose; sniff, and rush to the toilet again. everytime i went to the toilet i had a continuous sneezing streak for like 2 minutes.
when i went back the whole cycle continues.

damn vulnerable today, stupid nose so sensitive...
nothing i studied went to the head at all!
so pissed with myself...

at tuition, i was okay initially...like for the first 10mins.
then, it Began.
i kept sneezing and sniffing...
could barely do my work...

after that, went to tua bei/ah mm's house to visit ah ger jie and victor kor (they're back frm taiwan!)
saw nephew benjamin there. 8.1kg already! he's so cute okay.
however, he suffers from ezcema too...
i pity him, and seeing all the wounds on his body and bandages on his ear...
i felt really sour inside all of a sudden...
i recalled my ezcema problem i had ever since i could remember...and all the pain and suffering i went through as a kid
i felt for benjamin, i felt for ah ger jie and victor kor...
they think they're not doing enough for benjamin...but thats not true. both of them have already quit their jobs in the States just to look after him 24/7, and theres so much more they've given, and going to give...

REASEARCH SHOWS: a baby with cancer lives off better than a baby with ezcema. Though with shorter life, pain isnt omnipresent. the itch, on the otherhand, is always there. you suffer from it not for years, but decades.

anyways, thank goodness for clarise's and weilin's understanding today.
i think i almost died from all the running nose and sneezing...seriously.
i sneezed at least 15 times at the library, excluding the every 10-minutes sneezing streak in the toilet.
my nose was runny since 11am in the morning till just now at 11pm ><.
coulda just died from dehydration, from all these.

so many people facing so many problems in that certain area, thank goodness im over that phase. To Weilin: all the best, you can pull through it, Cheers my friend =)!

2008-06-09T23:15:00.002+08:00

take a deep breath in,
and a deep breath out.
ahhhhhh, this is the life!
life is greaaattttttt...............NOT!

i think i need to kill myself,
6 more days to prelims, i'm / i :

daydreaming about whatnots infront of my textbook
totally not prepared
resisting the urge to go out
missing and thinking about things totally unnecessary and irrelevant
avoiding That person

----------------------------------------------------------------
justin: hey the bio thingy no answer sheet?
springsfield: uh i dont know?
justin: huh, you never do the assessments (15 sets)?
springsfield: Nope.
justin: lol ____ ___!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

apologies for not blogging for so long...i just couldnt bring myself to do it:

no complete set of photos from malacca exchange
no photos from Aesthetique 08
no "presentable" photos among those ive recently taken to share
no mood.

where are the photos~~~~~~=/

early today, i had a good laugh.
miss mugger said that i am the most obedient boy she ever met XD,
well.....you guys know better huh =P.

and so sorry dear sis waimin!
my NEW FOUND MORALS restrain me from doing so...
if only i were still sec 3, id agree to it immediately!
you all enjoy yourselves yeah,
i promise you a share of my time after both our exams.

yes my new found morals.
from now on, closing to exams:

no going out for pleasure/leisure
no overcomsumption of chocolates
no more late night calls
no more television
no more late night internet usage (opps...)

yes geraldine i watched garfield too yesterday.
how about call you "gar" instead of "ger"?
i like~

actually, i dont know what to do/what i want..
i want so many things
want to do so much
yet sometimes i just cant.
reality.
guess this is not some american love song.

2008-05-25T21:17:00.003+08:00

really hectic,
prelim 2 approaching!
and im slowing beginning to miss band already (esp when i showed geraldine the malacca trip video!)
sigh.

i just begin to appreciate myself more.
today, as i was rushing home late at night after studying,
i brushed against this small branches and leaves.
something a lil sharp poked my right eyelid. and it hurt. think it was some small twig.
it was just 1-2 cm away from my pupil. Springsfield Ong almost turned into a handicapped boy who would wear eyepatch for the rest of his life.

it kept refreshing in my mind, as i was on the mrt.
how lucky i were...how lucky i were... what if my head was tilted a lil higher??
it still hurt when i blink, a little.

outside yio chu kang mrt,
i did a very simple, yet ordinary deed.
really brightened me from the inside =).

2008-05-13T23:09:00.002+08:00

its really hectic, this week...
band everyday!
know why???
concerts this sat!!

yesterday was totally cool, we managed to complete teaching the band choreography within one practise!
new record set. so proud of ourselves. wait till you all see it.

time is running out, and thankfully the band is persevering on.

we have to work together, to pull through this, then our break comes.

too much is put on stake here, too many people's last concert, too many final attempts, too much pressure on the few of us who know the truth.

We Will Suceed!

2008-05-06T22:39:00.002+08:00

im back!
yeahhhh so nice, i slept like throughout all the bus rides...which adds to roughly 3 hours everyday at least?
stupid people like terence kept making noise and attempting to disturb my sleep.
luckily im a heavy sleeper.

went to malacca, met st. francis institution military band, had a great time!
First Day: combined rehearsal + concert at mall!
Second Day: march pass by st. francis + touring malaysia!

very angry, interaction time was so limited...
i took alot of pictures with my cam though, and currently waiting for more pictures to come from friends and new found friends of st francis military band.

i slept like 3 hrs plus straight on the bus today while everyone else was playing and chatting loudly.
still sleepy like hell!

thus, going to hit the sack now.
and yes i just found out about 2 tests i will be having tomorrow which i am totally not prepared at all.

death awaits =)

2008-04-30T22:24:00.003+08:00

bye bye guys, bye bye all.

"i'll be leaving the country on monday, wont be here anymore."

when i said that, so many people thought i going to migrate or something, haha~
but yeah i' wont be in school net mon and tues.
will be in malacca!!!

yup, band exchange prog.
finally, my first overseas one (malacca so near though) =/

thus, anyone needs anything there???
tell me yeah......................

just so i can say NO =).

2008-04-26T17:31:00.009+08:00

The News

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

Oh my lord,

i heard the news

though it was only a little,

its still a little too late.

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

i really tried

really really hard

yet however

we still drifted apart.

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

Perhaps it was fate,

which put me in this state

i dont know,

for i only have myself to hate.

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

So you'll be you'll

and i'll be me

when i include me

we'll make 3.

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

i'd vie with him

i'd fight with him

i might even win

only to realise

your heart's with him.

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

So this is my

tragic little story

but not to worry

for this little secret

remains shut in the hollow hut.

omg what the hell is happening to my internet.
theres always this recurring problem, that makes me so irritated that i dont feel like using the com anymore.
whenever i go to any website, this appears:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:

Diagnose Connection Problems

More information
--------------------------------------------------------------------

ARGH, why is that happening?
it appears for practically every website i try to go to.
i have to keep refreshing to enter that desired web.

anyone with solutions?

2008-04-08T22:08:00.002+08:00

yesterday was a winner, i tell you.
we had interview for the sec 3s after band...
i reached home a lil past midnight.
we practically sat there to interview for 6hrs.
by the time we finished, i had this maddening idea to sleepover in school...but thought twice about it, and went home instead.

now, i'm a zombie..getting insufficient sleep every night.

somebody save me.

2008-04-03T22:51:00.003+08:00

after band, i took bus 13 to the station.
that was 30mins after i reached the bus stop.
4 buses of 410, 3 buses of 88, 2 buses of 52 went past the stop, and yet no sign of bus 13.
i tell you, i was cursing and swearing every sec.
especially when the bus arrived and then driver was taking his own sweet time driving while having a jolly good chat with his friend beside him.
i almost missed the last bus at the station to take home, almost.

why am i so agitated anyways,
I DONT KNOW!

okay this vid is also lame,
and totally no...erm, no touching at all.
so, its guaranteed cleeeeeennnnn.

2008-04-02T22:38:00.003+08:00

today my chinese tuition teacher said i looked like crap, cause i was asleep on my bed as she reached my home. she talked to me about my life, then enlightened me to change in some ways.

age. i feel as if im ageing already.

anyways, for those who know about america's next candidates for president, heres some cool vids i came across. feedback yeah!

2008-04-01T17:24:00.003+08:00

saturday.
hectic day.
initially, we had lessons in the morning, and boy was it hell boring.
halfway through i couldnt take it anymore and so did justin.
he started doing shit, and poor dong lum seated beside him became his victim. i begun videoing him =).

then had bio, then left asap to meet sihui they all cause we were headed to acjc's funfair.
main reason for me to go: ze yi
luckily found people to go with in the nick of time.
actually wanted to go to st nicks one only, but what the heck i planned to go for both.

acjc was really packed, and big.
sadly i dont recognise many people there.
often when i saw someone i know i'd stop to say hi, then i'd lose sihui they all among the crowd.
then waimin left early for voluntary work,
and i had fun irritating sihui the whole day.

the sun was scorching hot that day, and it rained halfway -.- , spoiled my plan and kept me stranded at acjc.
darn it, got so pissed initially when i was stuck at acjc and it was already too late to go to st nick's fair.
however, as i stayed on and followed the group, i felt it was worth it =). met people i havent met for the longest time.
lost the chance to see people i see annually, but oh well.

after that, i rushed all the way down by mrt to tuition.
boy, was i tired.
tired, but happy for some reason =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
life now is shit cause chinese dept actually has 4 official days worth of remedials, inclusive of morning remedials.
other subjects which are as or more important like math only has one day, and that afternoon i've got band...

this morning halfway during math, the chinese teacher came in and told the teacher he needed us for remedial and we had to abide...
darn it, why is the system like that?
as if im going to include my HCL results in my L1R5??
if i were taking my CL paper in 2 mths time, and i needed that for my L5, i'd understand.

and i composed a song by editing a motivational poem and adding music and rhythem to it, yays.

pissed with the whole department.
pissed with the system.
pissed with the life.

2008-03-26T18:40:00.003+08:00

hey yeahh,

my classroom since yesterday is officially air-conditioned!

haha, finally. and all the other classes are just so pissed with the ONLY 3 sec4 classes with air-conditioning =).

well, if you are reading this and you're one of them, then all i have to say to you is........CRY!!!

mrs goh was in a good mood today and bought pizza for the geog elect class!

well, perhaps partially cause we're studying on the different types of food now in geog..

miss L F is back frm italy too.

how we missed her.....especially when she brought back chocolates for us!

nathan and i are now on the hunt for: Golden Poker (a crispy waffle coated with thick milk chocolate).

marcus was an ass,

i just did a cheeky look at him towards justin and then he went and ka jiao justin by telling mrs yap he had something to say to her. and blamed it on me.

lol the whole class responded when justin refused to say and we chanted "say, say, say, say".

was justin ever so embarrassed.

later, i saw justin on the floor. someone almost stopped the production of his testosterones permanantly.

see la, play somemore.

seems like no matter how much sleep i get, id still be sleepy during class...sigh, what am i to do?

morning view from school

2008-03-23T01:55:00.002+08:00

yes!
finallyy, i'm back...
stupid com died on me a few days back.
my keyboard suddenly stopped functioning, and i had to use the on-screen keyboard to msn!
let me explain my frustration.
just to type "how are you?"
its "H-O-W-SPACE-A-R-E-SPACE-Y-O-U-CAPS-QUESTIONMARK"
yes, all hand-clicked out my friend, every-single-alphebet.

i feel shitty, shari was really down that night and i couldnt help my god-sister, damn it.

i swear, the darnest things happen to me at all the wrong times...all the wrong times...

Random

2008-03-16T01:16:00.004+08:00

random pictures here~

finally, my connection worked and i can upload all the pics i have into my com.

the first 2 pictures is a time when the guys were clowning around the class one fine day. we played with the visualizer's "Negative" mode and used our cam's "negative" mode to take pictures. Indeed, two negatives gave us a positive!

the next two was just recently taken.
one day after school i was headed to j8, i saw thing girl across the road holding her handphone up with one hand. i thought she was cam-whoring or something and just shook my head and moved one. however, i noticed she wasnt smiling at all , i turned to look up and realised what she was actually doing. there was a cloud, and behind that cloud was a spectrum of rainbow colours. spectacular view. 2nd time in my life ive seen such a thing.

later a junction 8, there gathered like 10+ people all taking pictures of that cloud. i laughed and took a picture of them instead =P.

the last picture was taken at the end of chinese new year.
i was at uncle johnson's house playing mahjong with the so-called-kids (aged 13-23 non-adults), and at the last game, i actually managed to win with this set! omg, it is my luckiest game i ever played, and i actually drew out the winning tile myself at my turn. initially i didnt think i'd even stand a chance to complete my set since usually we all played the fast way of mahjong, which is to game asap. However, i kept getting the "wan" tiles i needed and got increasingly excited as the game progressed for that match. Wow, luckily our stakes were very low, if not, i'd be rich....i think. anyone know how to decipher this set?? (i'm Nan Feng for that round)

shi jie taking picture of joshua
contrasts!
stupid phone camera quality sucked...
the crowd!
random picture taken one evening on my way home

my luckiest game in history =)

woots!
yestersday went out with mel that lamer!
she came over to singapore yesterday and thats the first time i saw her in 2 years!
anyways, it was rather last minute thing.
the sad part was, her handphone didnt not have network coverage though she DID apply for it!
thus, couldnt contact her to arrange to meet where n all.

not just so, it was raining so darn heavily after the lit class and the mrt to jurong east broke down just as i was about to enter the station..they announced the next one to be about 20mins!

anyways, we went to boon lay there and just walk n talk, and i guess toy r us satisfied her much =P!

as i went back, the train i was on was so darn weird...
it kept stopping halfway in the middle of nowhere, and suddenly accelerate again..

shall not elaborate further,
wait till mel blogs about it then i put her url here~

shoutout: mel!! better come singapore more often you emo girl!

2008-03-09T22:20:00.003+08:00

its the march holidays!
...its a good thing, right?
i guess it would be, if it werent for all the lessons i have daily...

anyways, lots to talk about today, but dont feel like it, since i cant upload some pics..stupid connection cable.

shari, your god brother just wore a new pair of cheap jeans out today!
haha it didnt look and feel as bad as i thought it would have, not bad at all!

when i reached home like 7, i went roller skating w/o my "armour".
i'm still very novice at it, and cant even brake properly nor come to a suddent halt even if it were a case of emergency, so as i was skating i kept thinking.."hmm, what if a car just turned round the corner??"

luckily, it didnt happen.
skating along the mainroad with my walkman blasting thru my ears, i could only notice vehicals approaching by the reflection of light on the other stationary vehicals beside me or reflective signboards.
yes, i was going as fast as i could, fully aware i was incapable of making a sudden turn or stop...
not just so, i was constantly attempting to not fall down...

and as i went past one of the playgrounds in the neighbourhood, i saw this pair of teenage lovers, girlfriend sitting on boyfriend's lap, then two of them touch here touch there...opps! cannot continue with the explicit content, later they come beat me up or something.
but, dont know who they were anyways, was too busy trying to get myself AWAY from the drain by the roadside...so i just sped past them...Twice =), and continued playing in traffic.

so if one day you see me in a wheelchair or something, you'd know what happened.

simply thrilling.

2008-03-06T22:37:00.003+08:00

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

i want to sleep~

i need sleep~

SOS please please please please.

its 10.45pm, i just finished tuition, yays!

now i can cry at my life

2008-02-24T10:19:00.002+08:00

yeah yeah, cross country last thurs!
it was 3.3km, much shorter than last year's 4.8km at turf city.
easier for me, much easier for all the athletes!
haha guess i was better off the longer route.

anyways, disappointed positioning: 23/40 for the competitive. (14.43)
did much better last year =/, too unfit already.

best part is, i still had to go for the mass run with the rest of my house later, which was like IMMEDIATELY after i finished my race. yay, another 3.3km.

band later was infuriating,
my legs started to cramp,
and i pigged out on new year goodies for the rest of the night,
YEA~

2008-02-19T17:29:00.002+08:00

this thursday, the annual cross-country will commence.
and guess what! i'm taking part in competitive running, woohoo!
and guess what! i already see people start training today already running outside the school, woohoo!
and guess what! i've done no exercise but pig out lately, woohoo!
and guess what! i dont think i can do well for thurs' competitive race, woohoo!
and guess what! i might not even have the stamina to complete the race, woohoo!

2008-02-10T01:44:00.000+08:00

time flies, and many things have went by since my last post.

Things such as my 16th birthday, chinese new year etc etc~

for my birthday, we all went out to jacks place for dinner!

after that, we headed home only very late in the night, as usual all drunk~

wore my pink shirt like last year, and went through the whole procedure real fast (all too tired already)!

my birthday cake!

my birthday watch~

16th birthday.

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

For chinese new year, we only left home at like 4pm that day to go visiting.

genieus right? cause my bro and parents just came back from UK the night before...oh well.

i got up like 5 hours before any of them...bored stiff! luckily had people to sms to =).

by the time we went around, most of our relatives had left already.

Not that i mind getting less Ang Baos, but the whole purpose sorta seem to be insignificant to go when everyone has left...after all, it is the one time when the relatives all gather together...

haha, anyways at my Sa Yi's house, i was very happy.

cause one of the aunts (i havent seen before, or cant recall) kept complimenting my looks.

heh, as we left she waved and said "bye handsome!"

really trying to make me blush!

at chu yi night, my relatives from the maternal side came over.

my cousin brought his child Marcus along! it was my first time seeing the boy, and he's 20 months old!

my aunt told me to carry him and was saying something like he prefers younger people to carry him. As soon as he was on my lap, he hugged me by the neck =)!

he's so cute la...

another blog update is here!

and today, i have to share with u all a really stupid and silly thing that has NEVER happened to me, but now it did.

last wed, instead of assembly, the teachers allowed the sec 4s to stay in class to do revision instead cause its our prelims week.
some did their revising, i chose to sleep cause i was very tired out from the lack of sleep.
mrs yap was doing some of her work at the desk, and we all did our stuffs.

as i was sleeping halfway, i heard mrs yap say something about who wants to do, raise your hand then she give.
i thought it was some extra english practise, compo or compre i didnt know, and i heard one of my classmates name, which meant that he was going to do it. so i raised too.

"Springsfield, you too?" mrs yap asked.
*nods*, i replied.
"then i put your name down too yeah?" she said again.
*nods*...

about a half hour later, i decided i had gotten enough of sleep.
"so, mrs yap, what was that i raised my hand for again?" i tried to confirm what i initially thought.
*smiles* "oh, you just volunteered to do the morning devotion next week for our class."
Me: ..........

i found out the other guy i heard, got to do the chinese one.

info: every morning after the national song and pledge and prayer and all, we have a student to give a morning devotion. usually focussing on one topic and stand infront of the school to talk about it.

yes, so my foolish act has gotten me into this.
i still cannot believe it happened...my teacher said she told me i was doing the morning devotion and i was agreeing and nodding all the way...

sian~

2008-01-14T21:05:00.000+08:00

long time since i last blogged, but im just too busy!!
many things have happened, and many more things to come.....
hectic life now, really hectic!

anyways, today after sch, i went to the doctors to get my ear checked.
had hearing problems for weeks, ear partially blocked and very irritated feeling. so irritating that i couldnt focus in class and hear properly...

but today the doctor said that my throat had bad infection (i didnt notice much), and found that my ears were blocked and blogged with wax =X.
he then got the nurse to pour some peroxide into my both ears, and i heard the dissolving sound in my ears, feeling was really weird!!!
later, he inserted somewhat a metal tubinng and flushed everything out!
gosh, there was wax like half an m&n inside my left ear la.

but immediately, i started hearing things so clearly, even minute details i have never heard before!!!

woohoo!!!
=D~

RVIC 2007 installation.

yep, it was one touching event...the seniors (sec 4s) are officially passing down from their posts and their cca.
The River Valley Interact Club had it held at their school auditorium that day.
In a golf match, dad was unable to join us, so President Johnson gave mum and i a lift there! (since he was headed there too to attend the installation)

there, i met all my old friends once more.
god sis waimin, wongbingbong, edmund, tongtong, rainbow, yanyi, si hui and etc etc.
i wore a red long sleeve shirt...which made me sorta look alike them since their blazer was red in colour too =X.

everything was really well-organised, the MC for that event was good, the respective people who did their speech were good, everything went very smoothly.
there was entertainment such as the juniors putting up a short dance movement for the audience to see, inclusive of the songs.

later, they started passing out and down the badges to the next generation of leaders/members of the RVIC.
and soon, as everything came to an end, people started getting emotional.
it was natural, having put your heart and soul into something for 4 yrs and just having to let go all of a sudden...

everyone was getting emotional. all the tears, hugs, and picture taking almost got me there too. luckily, Springsfield is strong than that. I tried my best to comfort those who were crying....by not getting emotional =P.

anyways, i was really disappointed that my mum didnt grant me permission to go out lunch with them after the installation...it would have been our last meal together in a very long time...=(

sihui's speech
the handover ceremony
singing of song!

I've made up my mind.

From now on, im going to do as i please with my blog, and finally post what i want to post about.
i wont care about what others think about it, cause thats just who i am and what i do...or did.
but of course there wont be any verbal wars nor racial insults around here, so i have no worries about getting trouble with the law =).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i shall do some back tracking.

This is 2007 RCRC Installation Night.

Its an annual event whereas the president of the Rotary Club of Raffles City passes down his president post to the next person.

This year, it was held at Marina Mandrin Hotel.

Yeah, and the theme was "Shanghai Night"

Yes, dear friends, here comes all the corny stuff xD.

Like, the shanghai tan1 music, the chinese decorations and all...amazingly wonderful.

i was seated beside kaifen (yes i can rmb all your names now ;P) at the table, together with my bro, janice, jeremy, tongtong, edmund, eevan (hope i spelt right) and some others.

it was a long time since i last met kaifen...like 5 whole months since we last saw each other, naturally we spoke alot to each other!
somehow somewhat, edmund was rather quiet that night while tong kept laughing and laughing to herself =S.
kaifen nudged me afew times about it but i couldnt understand what she meant initially =P.

eevan was the man, man.

a super lame, but in a cool way kinda guy!

he made the lamer edmund shiver with all the jokes xD.

whoops, my bad!

kaifen and i

edmund and me giving the attitude look

now closer up...

3-7 Class Gathering 2007

it was just after the chinese O levels.
31st Oct. Dreaded paper. and yeah i know i screwed it real bad i emo-ed for quite some time now...

class gathering was at East Coast, pit D, or was it sector D...ah whatever.

but anyways!
had band meeting immediately after the paper, got scratched bad by yongkhang cause e yang refused to go meeting and he defended him, spent 2 hr plus in meeting, got pissed off with lazy peers, and yeah meeting was over by 3pm! dan was a pain in the ass as usual, ah but it was over, so smile!

before i left sch, i called kor but he was sleeping. i told him to get ready for me to meet up,
after when i was on the bus home i called him but he was sleeping,
when i reached home i called kor yet again but he was sleeping,
as i was about to leave home i called him and he told me he was ready,
he almost missed the bus i was on.

so josh and kor board the bus i was on and we were off!
we met this very interesting guy.
he kept staring at us in an unfriendly manner time to time, throughout the bus ride,

thus josh and i decided to glare.
seated at the last seat, we glared whenever he looked back.
the soab was an ass, bus crowded and yet refused to let anyone sit by placing his sports bag on the seat, not even to the old n weak.

anyways, neither of us had a clue where to get off. Joshua took the initiative and we got off promptly based on his intuition.
we got off like 3 stops early, at least..i have nothing to complain, he paid most of the taxi fare later on =).

okay, once we arrived, justin spotted my cam and immediately requested to have his picture taken.

"yeah yeah betcha cant catch this with ur cam!"

"i <3 to touch myself in public!"

it was soon sunset and pity we couldnt see the sun...or the scenery would have been more beautiful.
oh glorious kiss. must be the romantic ambience.

you do Not want to know what this was all about.

pang gang!

angry,horny,friendly

alastaire, and kunseng.
i said something after this pic that made these two speed runners chase after me. i ran for my life and stepped into mud as i crossed the wet grassy areas.

thank goodness for people like donglum, sonny, yongkhang, eric, gran etcetc for doing all the bbq-ing...now the rest of us can slack!!

yeap, together with shijie, we went to rent roller skates!
it was his first, and my fourth time (that doesnt sound wrong, does it?)

yeah he tumbled and fell many times, but it was common for starters.
as the champion wushu internationally, he was determined to master the ability to balance on 8 wheels. Together with my encouragement that mastering the 8 wheels would make him an invincible wushu-er, shi jie recovered from fall to fall.

it was a long walk to the rental shop as our pit were far, but it was an even longer way back to the pit.

master yoda william was behind shijie all the way, encouraging him time to time, and often have to make quick decisions to dodge the skates and the falling shijie.

upon knowing it was shijie's first and he managed well, justin came and wanted to skate back to return the skates with me.
i rushed back cause we only rented for 1hr and we spent 50mins to get to the pit.
shijie accompanied the confident justin, who claimed it was no problem.
he gave up after 5 mins.

okay, here's the breakdown.
we rented for 1hr each, and we returned only 1hr45mins later.
uh-oh!
initially, the shopguy said he understood my situation(having a friend who's at his first time) but has to charge me 2 hr fee, due to company policies.
however, when shijie arrived with justin, he then truely understood and waived the fine =).

it was a long distance to get back, and justin occasionally started smiling awkwardly to his handphone and go crazy.
i found out why.
justin walking over and antisocial suddenly.

look at that excited face

end product

later, as we packed up it was like close to midnight.
just then, a police car drove by at a very slow pace.
uh-oh....
teens under the age of 18 outside after 11pm are a no-no.
luckily, the policemen didnt see anything fishy and drove on =).

fantastic 4 trying to overcome the tide. trying to drown themselves =)

me + kor

the night is young for the two =)

i had no idea what he was doing when we were taking the pic

we are 3-7!

2007-10-21T21:00:00.001+08:00

this is psychotic!!!
just when you think eoys are over and you can have the yeah-lets-party-till-the-end-of-time mood,
WRONG! guess what...here comes Chinese O Levels, here comes Bio O level Spa, here comes the never-ending stress from all directions...once more.
*sobsob*, have they no mercy??

Anyways, these few weeks after the end of years was crap.
Yay, eoys over.
Boo, bio o level spa
Yay, cca break for awhile
Boo, chinese o levels around the corner

why is there Always a string attached?

and now everyday we have to work and work for chinese o levels...
Do or Die, cause no A = drop the subject.

after eoys, games day was on tues!
and yeah i cracked my left toenail while doing intercca basketball two days before (stained my socks with blood)
i was in touch rugby, and only 5 ppl(including me) out of the 15 turned up!!
well, we here then have to thank ppl like justin HARD kor, alex, brian, etc etc who Happen to be UNwell on that day and is absent from school.

luckily, szeto and william the yoda and yen chuan turned up for backup. We could play! (its a 7 man-team game) We did okay i guess....we didnt win.
but neither did we lose!
all the games we drawed =P! [and the only 1-1 game was touched down by me =)]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
a few days later, while no teacher was in the class cause of free period, 3-7 started playing taupok...
i was seated at a corner last of the last row, so the action all happened behind me while i just do my own work quietly (aint i guai?).
ppl like justin, eric, hubert, yong khang, sunny, kaijie, alastaire, kunseng, gran, kien ann and many MORE were involved.
they all took turns to find new targets in the class and surprise them (which later included themselves)...
then suddenly justin shouted "Springsfield!!!".
the next thing i knew, like 7 hands were all over me.
i struggled, kicked, yelled, and grabbed onto someone's legs so if they did me the dude i grab would die with me.
that only prolonged my life for awhile, as they freed gran from my arms and legs and laid me ><.
i got jumped.
what was so irritating was, that justin hard kor was exempted from getting taupok cause he always yell out that his shoulder would give way, yet he himself always go sabo and taupok ppl! cunning one armed boy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

anyways, tuition and lessons and tuition...
not to mention yesterdays' 4hr of chinese extra tuition at hougang from 9am.
(have to thank cassandra and her mum for giving me a lift since i didnt know the way there though i went there like 5 times already this year...)

the 4 hours there was Tortureous!
we did zong he tian kong after zong he tian kong, read articles after articles.... and weilin, having partied all night the night before kept dozing off !!
it was so depressing la, mdm lin said "for this exercise you all should be quite happy, give u an easy one to lift your spirits in the morning"
i end up with a 6/10...*sobsob*

so here i am now, blogging while i should be studying for tomorrow's bio o level practical examination...
im simply exhausted, though i slept like half of today already....

argh!!!
back to my revision.

2007-10-10T15:42:00.000+08:00

Ahhhh!!! exams finally over!!

anyways, i think im dead for lit....wrote only like 5 lines for the first qn part 1...braindead.

ah well, after the band meeting and while following junwei to check out ipods, i saw chunyan and maryln at j8. well, they just finished their papers too i guess.

heres some random pics ive always want to post but didnt have a chance to blog abt.

colin, kristian and i at SICC

colin trying to action and play pool while talking on the phone heres my baby cousin valerie, damn cute right?

twins =X?

2007-08-16T17:48:00.000+08:00

Many things have happened throughout this whole period of time....
Such as:

installations
outings
confiscation of hp
com re-passworded

and lastly, which is what i want to talk abt today....is the changing of CHSSB conductor.

Yes, Ms Tan Yang Hoon would be leaving chssb....after 8 yrs. She came in with Mr Heng in year 1999, and i knew her since pri 2 in cat high pri (yr 2000).

When i first heard the news together with the sec 3s and sec 4s band members, i was totally taken aback.

Ms Tan was my music teacher all my years in pri sch and then my conductoress for the catholic high sch string ensemble, which i was in.

Ms Tan later convinced me to join the secondary school band during my p6 life, and thats what i did. All these years i've known Miss Tan...kind, friendly, warm....just mother-like to me already... For me now to know that she'll be leaving the secondary sch band...is something hard for me to accept.

Let me tell you all...i dont tear easily. Even when the band got Silver for SYF...almost everyone cried...yet i didnt shed a single tear...just emotionless. But this time, when no one teared upon this news, i did. And the more i hear Mr Heng talk about it the more my tears flowed out...it was something so unexpected and a rather hard blow on me.

People during this period of time tried to comfort me by putting their hand on me, but it just made things worse for me and i brushed their hands off.

All along i had taken Ms Tan's presense with us for granted, like oh ive known her for 7yrs and yeah i guess she'll be here for many more yrs onwards...ive never expected Ms Tan to leave the band earlier than i would.

Maybe cause, among so many, ive known Miss Tan for one of the longest period of times and she even knew my Mum quite well and we would joke about random stuffs sometimes, it was really, a rude shock.

I managed to compose myself and i didnt have any breakdown after those few hrs after hearing the news, but still it ached somewhere in my heart, though i didnt show.

Yes, there's the bright side of things like, Ms Tan deserved alot more, she's internationally famous anyways...

I'll manage, and the sec 3s will help the band to...

I wish all the best to Ms Tan.

2007-07-31T19:03:00.000+08:00

it was an okay day

while listening to my super limited songs i have on my hp, i happen to chance upon "Not Falling" and this song on my web....and suddenly got emo again.

hmm, been quite awhile now, still having once a while emo-strikes ><

hate that.

2007-07-30T22:18:00.000+08:00

its been a busy period again.

well for one, i had FOUR class tests today!

like what the hell....4!!! simply exhausting!

chinese o levels oral over and i sorta screwed it up =(...common tests approaching in 10 days...

anyways, that time during one CHEM spa, marcus was just at the table beside mine and we were doing our experiments of cations.

then one of them u were supposed to get a white ppt. i got it, marcus didnt and couldnt find out why.

he then consulted ms qiu then she did it infront of his eyes and he tried it again but failed.

then i went to get more stuffs for further tests and when i came back, marcus was like " Ms. Qiu, Ms Qiu, i did it, see!!" then he raised a test-tube.......with indeed white ppt!

i was like, heys congratz!!

then as i sat down with my litmus paper and all i saw him put that test tube back......onto MY rack!! he actually took my test tube in desperation xD!!!!!

we laughed real hard when i realised what he had done and didnt stop for quite awhile.

then there was LIVE EARTH day too!

luckily Steph smsed me or i wouldnt have went to DIG to find a green shirt!

ah, anyways i managed to find only ONE green shirt in my whole collection, it was the one i got in RYLA for answering for every alphabets of my name, like S mean what, P means what R means what, and so on....

and thus the both of us wore green shirts to tuition to support the whole LIVE EARTH thingy going on globally.

cant be helped, im sorta nature boy =)

rather cheesy huh, the words?

todays lab was fun too.

justin and i were squirting each other like some 3 yr old kids..........using the distilled water.

check out the chemical reaction of heating Zinc Powder!!!

(Caution: u kids out there, dont try this at home!)

Day 2 with Swedish/Russian friends--21/6

We had prac from 10-11.30am, then we all made our way to RELC.

we specifically said that everyone were to gather at bishan mrt by 12.15pm exactly, as we had to meet them at RELC by 1pm sharp.

thanks to some people, alot were late and reasons were such as "were in toilet", "eat someplace far away"...all gona get it from us man, inclusive some sec 3s... and we only reached RELC by 1.30pm, letting our guests wait for us at the lobby for more than 30mins. Really inconsiderate of us.

then we spent another 15mins trying to organise everyone together, as all were all messed up at the car park (just the band members), sec 3s spent sometimes yelling across to get people moving.

since our overseas friends wanted to stick to their groups, we then just changed our plan and just let some section go with some grp.
places were: Sim Lim, Chinatown.

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

haha the adults wanted specifically me in their group for some reason, then i couldnt join the grp with the hottest people around =/!

anyways we then left for sim lim in groups.

at sim lim they wanted to look for stuffs like camera, camera lens, watch, ipods etc etc....

since i hardly went out, i still did my best to aid them in their bargains and to sorta be their middleman in communications whenever needed.

Learnt: some sim lim shops scam, man!! firstly they wouldnt give us this cam for 350 and the owner quoted 400. then we were leaving then he drop to 350, then 300, then 200! tsktsk....

anyways they got like 4cams in all??? haha hope we did a good job trying to get bargains for them =/.

we made our way to chinatown next through the mrt and realised it was their first time taking something like that and using the ez card! fasination? perhaps =)

we then all went to the bbq only at 7pm, when the supposed timing was 5.30....oh well!
on our way to Kovan Melody Condo!

we had games such as tennis, badminton, basketball, swimming, and buffet and bbq food!

after a few rounds of basketball, i went over to help at the bbq pit as they were complaining they couldnt get the fire started....haha even as i tried to help it didnt do any good as the quality and the quantity of the charcoal really was....err...yeah... thus the neighbour pit ppl came over and offered their help =).

then when i was abt to go swim, when most of the people who planned to were aLREADY swimming, this university student, pulled me over for some sorta survey!!! she took like 20mins of my time!!! and i had only like 10mins to swim before i had to get out and do things already. so when i got out of her clutches i immediately took off my top and head for the pool!!!

anyways, CHEAH DONG LUM!!! ur a dead man next time u go close to a pool man, i was like bending down at the edge when he sneaked behind and pushed me into the pool!

then woon ngap tried to climb onto me but his leg cramped somehOW and i grab and tickled him, haha he screamed n laugh and screamed =).

anyways i later then ran around snapping pics of people, specifically the swedish and russian friends, cause it was an event of a lifetime! imagine: sports, swimming, and dinner with overseas friends??? i gotta get some pics of it!
anyways, they were all very friendly, and i guess they now know me as the crazy nut who runs around and take their picture....cause, i practically DID do that! i ran around wet and half naked with my cam and started to take pictures of them! well i did ONCE stop this group of people playing basketball just to take their picture =P....but just once!

haha some of them requested for me to take a picture with them after i gotten their picture already, haha too bad they used their own 7.1megapix cam instead of my only 2.0 =P, so i dont have all of the pics, but i'll try to get it from them somehow.

pictures would be posted below, i suggest if u dont like people in swimming suits, leave =) now!

junwei, joel, woon ngap, daren, chuen chin.
yeah alright this was the ONLY time i stopped a match to take pics =P.

they requested to take a pic with me after i took their picture!

as they were leaving i ran across to stop them to take their picture!
caprice strings!
this is that university student who made me sit for her 20min survey!!!
ms tan and mr johnny jangtun
mr heng, ms wong, mr tey

2007-06-20T23:29:00.000+08:00

today i woke up at 6am to get ready to go to Changi Airport to welcome the sweden band's arrival.
however!!!! due to certain miscommunication...isntead of the 6.30am they were supposed to arrive, they arrived at 4am!!! yeah so none of us could make it to welcome them.

anyways i then called for a 7 seater maxi cab when we had 9, and the counter didnt know cause bryan and zhong ern were squatting, hiding below the airport counter.
we headed for RELC, where the sweden friends were, and we did manage to squeeze 9 ppl into the maxi cab, though micheal kept squealing whenever the bus jerked cause he was sitting only on 2 half chairs, and his ass hurt alot i guess =P.

whoa! the sweden plus russian people were all older than us!! at least they all seemed 18-30 =/...
even our Dong Zhen Sheng is like a short dude compared to the guys of their size!

anyways, we rehearsed with them later in the afternoon, and they were good!

ah, did alot of running around the day settling all the plannings and organising, tired out!

to more days and we'll have to say bye bye to these grp of friends, aww....
stupid cam didnt charge when i plugged it in, and didnt get pics in the end.....

hey people!!! come to the joint concert with the sweden band and russian strings this fri at cat high pri sch hall!!!
once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us!!! up-close but not personal to the fellow players!!

2007-06-17T22:53:00.000+08:00

oookkkkaayyyy.

today i went out early in the morning to study with eugene at the woodlands library.

well, sadly, not productive =/

we spent most of the time talking rubbish and its so HIS fault cause he said he didnt want to do work no more.

we talked abt ALL kinds of stuffs and i meant all.....well what do u expect frm 5hrs of talking?

like we wanted to call ppl to come join us then after a few i used his hp to call steph and her mum picked up cause she was still asleep....hah then eugene started to make a fuss, we started to discuss possibilities of steph's mum questioning her "who is that eugene?!"

later we went on for macs for lunch, and yeah eugene n cherie congratulated me for having fries WITH salt.applaud.

we met with guan later and went to find me a bag, as planned.

unfortunately, we couldnt find the desired one and stephanie woke and called us back...then we got her to come over to help us.

after a LONG struggle, they have a bag for me!!!

but i just stunned when i saw it and when they fit it onto me.

they said it was durable, nice, plain, trendy.....so well i took my friend's advices! steph said that guys in town can be seen wearing such bags =O

it has a sling too, and its multi-purposeful....

hmmmmmmmm, u tell me!

well, my budget was not above 50$ so instead of the originally 32$ bag i had liad my eyes upon, they picked out this supposedly very durable lasting n tready bag that costs 25.90 after discount

anyways the audience were quite supportive, but those who've heard me......

honest comments, anyone?

haha yeah thanks for those who went to support, and yeah charmaine u got my attention out there, =P

anyways people, please come to support my sch sym band...we have this concert with the Swedish Band on the 22nd june at my sch hall, tickets at 10$!
well there would be a chance that the band would play that song....well, i guess a VERY slight chance, but who knows huh? haha these times are the only chances you will get to see ME singing a vocal solo =P, though it might not be good....grab ur chances!

2007-06-01T19:58:00.000+08:00

2007-05-29T13:52:00.000+08:00

SEC 3 CAMP! (long post so you are prepared to be bored to tears =))

the thing started off reallll well. i was suppsoed to reach sch by 6.15am so i set my alarm at 5.20am. ahhh beauty sleep. here comes the thing, the alarm rang, and my old habit acted up....
when the alarm rang i just lazily reached out and slapped it off.......and remained in bed...

the my phone rang, it was nikolas:
"Springs, where are you? this is nikolas"
"nikolas? yeah...why? what time is it?"
"its 6.40am already! where are you??"
yawn...only 6.40........................!!!!!! like omg??!!!

i practically bolted out of bed and rushed out of the hse and called a cab. it was real mad, i was all frantic.....like our meeting time was 30mins ago!
when i got onto the taxi, i kept telling the driver to hurry-up-please-cause-i'm-late-for-my-camp-and-they-might-leave-me-stranded-n-i-paid-like-200-plus-for-the-camp-i-cannot-let-this-happen-to-me!! anyways i reached sch by 6.50am and thank goodness they havent left yet, bus was delayed.
WHEW! but unfortunately, i realised there were alot of things i didnt pack...slippers, mug, cap, fork n spoon, my camp booklet,poncho, torch light batts.....oh wells...

the bus ride was real cool, like 9hrs? i slept most of it and spent the rest playing poker cards!
when we reached our destination in the evening at Taman Negara it was rather dark and started to rain so we set up our tent by the beach. i was grp with justin n joshua in the tent and when we slept at night, it was so STUFFY n WARM n totally not vendilated!!!! we couldnt open the door cause it was raining outside too...ARGH!

anyways, later on we couldnt sleep and jason and andrew came over to play cards.
we were having a ball! the game bluff was just fascinating, esp when something like when jason yell out "5 As!" and put down 4 cards, we all caught him for bluffing, cause he only had a max number of 4 As and absentmindedly say 5. yep, so he took the pile in the middle.
we were unlucky, we pitched our tent too near to the teachers one, so Mr T woke up and came over to scold us and confiscate our deck of cards =(...my cards. Mr T made jason n andrew go back to their tents, but they still came back later on anyways =P. joshua felt the heat unbearable and went to sleep outside despite the slight drizzle now together with some others and jason, justin, andrew, and i just slept together.
but halfway andrew left while we all were asleep and that stupid justin kor had 2 spaces for himself and STILL squeezed me in a corner, making me so uncomfortable!

anyways, the cycling activity later in the morning was such a killer!
we cycled for 6hrs, 54km, under the 36 degrees hot sun.
it was not straight, flat ground....but there were alot of up and down slopes....
many had cramps and some people actually had an accident....i just suffered some sunburn =/.
at the 2/4 part of the trail...i kept seeing upslopes after upslopes...and justin and norman were like 80m behind me. i couldnt take it anymore and i think i lost it for awhile...
i started yelling out random stuffs in frustration and exhaustion like "Noooo!!", "Arghhh!!", " I want Singapore!!" everytime i had another slope to go through with. haha justin said he could hear me and was demoralised by me too =P...
anyways, most of us made it in the end and the feeling was superb!

the white water rafting at jeram bersu the next day was cool!!!
we rafted in grps of 7 and when the raft went into the rapids and strong currents, everything shook hard and the feeling was GREAT! we had to later on cross the river by pulling ourself across with this rope from one end of the river to another. the water level would be at our necks. at first it were no kick and i thought it would be so boring...till i realised the difficulty when the current from the rapids pushed at me, Hard. my hands grew pain n tired and i felt that i werent moving...though my hands still were. anyways i made it though some didnt and the trainers had to use the motor boat to sail over to rescue them before the current took them any further.

anyways, in the end we took a train ride at 2.30am all the way to singapore woodlands there, the trip was estimatedly to be abt 10hrs?

anyways, i got a cab home later on...and thats that.
sry people no pics cause i didnt bring my cam, was afraid that it might get wet...so yeah, no pics.
ah, very tired, need my rest and i've got band tmr!
well, thanks for those who missed me, nice to know =).

2007-05-21T17:11:00.000+08:00

hectic life!

yeah been so busy trying to get everything straight after my mid yrs.

anyways, today for alst period mdm jasmine didnt come to sch so we were released 1 period early! woohoo!

so since it was rather earlier i decided to go to the amk polyclinic to get my X ray results for my back. yup i went alone immediately after sch lugging that huge load of a schbag of mine along.

Results out: Thoracic spine/lumbosacral spine....

finding: There is no evidence of fracture of subluxation. The spine is normal in configuration and alignment. The vertebrae and intervertebral disc spaces are normal. There is no prevertebral or paravertebral soft tissue abnormality.
long story short---I'm Fine!!

well when i asked how can the doc explain my back aches every 2 days, she said that it was most likely some muscle sprain or its STRESS-RELATED issue 0.o
this would be my first stress-related side effects...had been going through stress all my life and now i have a symtom of stress....Cool!

and the doc's solution: Rest & Massage ( real interesting huh, massage? ) the doc also says that if the problem persists i should perhaps go see some chinese tie da doctor...

anyways peeps, thanks for those who've expressed their concern for me over this period of time and want to let u know that i'm proven fine by X ray report!

i still feel my back will act up anything...but oh wells, cant be helped! guess its all stress related issues =/. gona exercise more and more now till i can overcome all these pathetic problems i face, and to get my fitness back!!!!!

durig those syf n mid yr periods i have been pigging out too much!!

grr, i'ma gona piah all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~

2007-05-16T22:37:00.000+08:00

okay all, guess i havent been blogging much....but i have my reasons...

firstly and foremost...i cant recall now at this moment what i have been doing...cause my back is hurting right now again!

like omg...today before band started it hurt again...and i was trying to find the teacher-in-charges and trying to locate the OM to unlock the band store (dont ask why the band room is open but not the band store..long story tell ya all next time).

yes my dear friends, as i type this new post, my back's hurting like how it did this afternoon and how difficult it had been for me to walk..not even to say run.

i want to get my x ray report from the polyclinic tomorrow but my parents are away and i would have to go alone...this injured man lugging his schbag to polyclinic =/..ARGH~

i hate this i swear...why is my back giving me problems as such? no, i dont recall injuring it recently...

the first time the doc said nothing looked abnormal...but if nothing was wrong...would my back hurt like everyday???

Friends, here an advice...never mess around with your back...and if you feel frequent discomfort or pain, go urge yourself to see a doctor asap!

i now leave myself to fate...and see what would get in my x ray result...i took the x ray a few days ago but the clinic was closing already then thus i could not get my results then...

anyways, thank you those who've expressed your concern...just so many to name...erms violet, py, mr H, mr W, wl etc etc~ thanks!

my back hurts almost everyday constantly, and that stinks =(!

hello all!
time for some update!

Mon: last of my mid year, eng lit paper.

Tues:

like omg it was such a cool day!!
during most of our lessons we were allowed to watch movie! (furthermore the movie is provided by our teacher =P) for chem ms qiu lent us constantine and for eng lit we watched well, to kill a mockingbird.
constantine was still cool after having to watch 2 times previously, and to kill a mockingbird was rather "interesting". firstly it didnt follow the book , 2ndly whenever ms F pauses the vid to asks us abt our opinion so far, i would say " Its not bad...just that, could u lower the PITCH of the children? its abit..." yeah it was rather high pitched and difficult to catch... well ms F would then laugh and ignore me, the usual routine =/.

ms saras cut off one of her periods!! woohoo!! we could go home 50mins earlier~
and for maths mr teo was like, okay kids this period i want u to do ur statistics proj, i wont be teaching... and we were all woohoo-ing!!!

THAT, was life! some dude went to the class player and connect it to his ipod and started to play songs, people running around, crapping, beating each other up(nah)~

Wed: sch resumes even more. nth much about school that day, so might as well mention the resuming of band! well, my all so very familiar junior comes to me and tells me hes sick and wants me to allow him to go home. real weird...i had to repeat myself so many times just to convey to him that i cannot give him permission to go home! anyways band was all starting to get interesting with all the songs we were gonna play n stuffs coming up.

all seemed fine till after band....when my back suddenly hurt again.
crap, no pills/medication then...well luckily this time the pain was more minute. but still, it was really uncomfortable and rather infurating...

2007-05-05T09:26:00.000+08:00

hello all!!
i'm back!!!

alrighty...due to mid yr exams, i tried not to get too engaged with my blog...cause i gotta study!
and to friends: sry if it seemed i had neglected u recently..dont cry okay? now now, i'm back to stay =).

well though my eng lit is on mon and more than half the sch dont need to report cause mon papers are only for lit/music students (argh!), i'm still gona start partying already =)!

okay since there was an overwhelming response that after exams i always anti-socialise and dont hang out with them.....JUSTIN KOR! i'm free for u to ask out okay? yup that goes out to anyone of u too who wanna hang out with me after UR mid yrs( cause i know some ppl's one only starting on 7th may).

okay few updates...
good: i mugged like hell every night for a week during the exams till past midnight before i sleep.
bad: it was last minute work.

bad: i mug every night till i wanna die.
good: jolin was mugging too =P

good: i was so hardworking
bad: only when i realised it was all too late. procrastinated my mugging era for too long =(.

okay mid yrs were HELL, so now i'm sorta FREEEEEEEEE!!!

anyways, on friday which is most ppl's last paper, i went to play soccer with weiping, marcus, chishun n gang...well my soccer stinks la, cant play soccer at all...but they say nvm, its okay, for fun only...
anyways we played till very late, and chi shun went off halfway for training, when i reached home my feet were killing me with some sort of blisters and both my ankles were hurting. wrong shoes i guess, plus it had been some time since i last exercised.

but after my shower, i felt something wrong...
my back was acting up again! and it suddenly hurt like hell, my backbone, the lower part. crap, i lay on the sofa downstairs stomach flat cause i couldnt stand already...i was like thinking "wth is with my back?"
i admit i had back problems and other bone n joints prob for quite some time now, but ive been busy that i havent even made my IC and my birthday was on JAN!(syf n mid yrs and all) thus havent gone to see a doctor.
i had to take painkillers to ease the extreme discomfort n pain, my back hurt even as i sat on the chair to take the pills...
well here comes the good part, as i'm hurting, my parents are watching and scolding me for having bad posture in whatever i do, computer, reading, studying.....

i'm very worried...what's happening to me? what would happen to me?
first it was only my left elbow joint....then it was both my wrists and my chest bone, then it was my left shoulder joint, then was my knees...and now my back...and this back seems to be rather serious..it hurt ytd like it nv hurt before...

(i thank people like jolin, mr stamford, kai fen for expressing their concern....thanks)

but, what was going to happen to me?

2007-04-27T20:20:00.000+08:00

SYF 2007

SYF 2007

"Announcing the results from the order of appearance..
Catholic High School.......Silver."

*shock*

like omg??? what the hell? all of us were so stunned and had a rude shock.
catholic high school symphony band has never had below gold award before for the past...7yrs.
we played pretty well from what we felt together with the teachers during the performance.
we admit there were some flaws here n there but... a Silver?!
We all had our hopes high....a gwh, if not perhaps a gold too....but it was rather shocking....

i admit, at first i was stubborn like the rest, thinking it wasnt right for us to get silver.
but slowly as i was on the bus back , i begin to think while people continued to well up in sorrow.... perhaps....though we had felt the performance was good, there were fatal flaws around? 7 qualified judges cant be ALL wrong...
and my feeling became stronger when i heard a playback recording from andrew ng....there really were areas of flaws i didnt hear in the past but were significant today...

as we left the hall alot of us started to cry....first time seeing so many of the band members crying... but strangely....i didnt shed a tear....not that i trying to show off or something but yeah. well at first i admit i was about to, then i held back for a moment and didnt need to already. went on and console my friends instead.

it was a rude shock yes. guess we have areas required for us to improve still. all that swearing n blaming doesnt make a difference, neither does being down and all...

People, i know alot of u may still think we deserve the GWH if not gold at least... but trust the judges decision...and if u slowly hear the recordings and listen carefully, u'll too like me see the light.
there's no point in lamenting now, we'll just have to prepare for our future concerts and for juniors the SYF 09.

Pick urselves up this instance, and move on.

WELL!
the teachers felt that too, and we arranged to meet in the evening for a dinner celebration in all the hard work n effort put in in the SYF....dinner at NAKED FISH RESTAURANT! (sounds wrong but yeah)

after the buffet dinner daniel and i decide to go "walk-walk" and ended up at the nearby arcade playing xD

Sec 3 table
chssb
sec 3s, ah too dark i guess.
brothers. daniel and i.
once more =)

fight
daniel serious look and his super index finger spammings
gogogo!
phan nop from the nearby gun game
en hao and i, spastic.

daniel takinng a vid of us. later the juniors come join in the fun =). too bad quality has compensated alot to be uploaded here.

2007-04-07T06:24:00.000+08:00

kinda screwed up time of life...

firstly i've got band everyday then my lower lip gets cut and hurts so bad i wish it were numb so i could go on playing...

then i realise mid yrs are just around the corner and i havent studied at all...

then mel suddenly tells me shes coming to singapore with her friends , which isnt a bad thing.......but later mel sorta said something that made me understood sharlene was coming too?
now why the hell did i have to know that.......".....dont tell me things like that" was all i could say =(.

crap....feeling an emo-attack gona strike me anytime soon today or tmr....sigh.
should i or should i not request to meet up with them?
would it be rather direct n thick skinned of me to do so?
what an ass i would be if i werent welcome deep in their hearts.

well, just go with the flow, we'll see how it goes...

BAND

this period of syf is rather tough, practice everyday and miss lessons.

okay, anyways, yesterday we went to pasir ris there for a campover.

PURPOSE: to wake up at 4am to play music and watch sunrise by the beach.

REASON: we're playing this set-piece called "sunrise" for syf.

ORDER: principal wants us to have this real life experience of sunrise for us to play music better, to bring the music to life.

PLACE: paris ris. 2 dormatories, one meant for guys one meant for girls. but since we're a allguys sch, one grp slept in the guys one, one grp slept in the girls one(my grp xD).

i dont know abt the guys dormatory, but the girls one was awesome. it had 2 airconditioners and 20beds in all, in which we squeeze abt40 into it, yup all guys =).

we had some advantage as there was a rather large toilet in the girls dormatory and the other ppl had to go like 30m for toilet.

there were pillows and blankets for us and there was the smell of........girl.

yeah if u take a whiff u'd smell it,not those unpleasent kind.

anyways, for me 3 guys shared 2 beds on the upper deck and we gayed all night, haha XD! yeah justin, ycc and i. no la, we didnt gay all night.............that much.

anyways morning we woke up for 4am practice at the beach, total darkness, we couldnt even see the conductress then.

we played till abt 6.45am then we the sky started to get bright.

we saw the sun later, and it was GOOOOD.

later we went back to sch and practiced til 12noon and was exampted from all class that day, principal's orders, =D.

tomorrow's good fri, but got band form 1-5pm, so yeah =).

*pics coming soon

syf in 4 days, i...no, we have to make it.

we MUST...this is my first and my last..

2007-04-02T23:24:00.000+08:00

Whats ur seduction style?

this is what i got frm doing the quiz waimin asked me to...and guess what?? i got the same thing as her!!

2007-04-01T08:41:00.000+08:00

yeah, i know i havent been posting anything up for quite awhile....even the sports night one was like a week ago thing but posted only ytd...
why? cause...i've been really busy in the recent weeks... band everyday except sunday...project deadlines, homeworks, tests...whoa, i'm already iron man....

but everything comes a price to pay..and for my busy life, i got sacked as a prefect.
they say the main thing for the 5 of us that got sacked was that our attitude on or off duty(in class) was not up to standards.
well, i wasnt surprised?
had been sleeping frm 3am-6am almost everyday just to do some work, resulted in me sleeping in alot of lessons and my not handing up of homework assignments.
in the beginning it was because i was lazy to do, but now it is really that i had no time =/.
anyways being a prefect wasnt that all ideal...i couldnt have my recesses and lost my only chance to play sports during that time for canteen duty purposes.

anyways, life's been so hectic i need a break =/, really, going to once again find time to slack, yeaH!

Sports Night 07

2007-03-25T20:11:00.000+08:00

Sports Night 07

during this day of sports night, we had lessons till abt recess time, then were to report at 3pm at plaza. then i received wonderful news, i had band practice frm 1pm to 3pm, and that day we had to stay back in sch for band (as in sleep over), and wake up by 4AM to practice till 12 noon...good game already...

at the break out of the different houses during the event, i, frm joseph house(yellow) was to assemble in the hall. we were doing cheers rehearsal and everything, then it came the teachers carrying yellow paint around to paint us yellow.

da wei, brian and i were just laughing at those the teacher chased after to paint the word "joseph" on their arm then suddenly i felt something cold on mine---ms chow took me off guard!

anyways, people started to use the paint and colour n style their hair, i was one of them xD. unfortunately not a very good styler so got my friend's help to just push the hair up.

okays then, by evening, it started to rain....and they announced the event to be prosponed til further notice...rats, have to go back to sch again next time..

i still had band after that, so daniel and i went out to dinner together at the hawkersway. well when we stepped in like alot of people stared at us: a guy in sch pe yellow shirt with hair coloured yellow and funny hairstyle, together with guy in red sch pe shirt and covered in red paint all over.

haha, well, we did look rather outstanding.

later we band ppl gathered in the band room n headed to shower, and dont know why suddenly the few of us got high n stuffs and started yellin n singing n crapping the whole time from before to after shower =P

the made us sleep in the hall, with no air con, only fans and open doors...but worse of all, lights out at 10!! i cant sleep....been nocturnal for quite awhile...3am-6am sleep everytime..so naturally i got up and had fun =).

justin who was initially 3m away frm me, ended sleeping BESIDE me by morning....and i thought my ass hurt in the morning...haha nah just joking~

anyways, at night i was talking cock with justin, then he kept telling me to call charmaine, insisting i have a thing with her...ZZ

so i called anyways, and charmaine and i chat for perhaps a half hr to 45mins into the night?? then the jealous dude woke up a junior or two and spread stuffs, and ended up with 3 ppl trying to listen to my conversation...

later ycc woke up too and came over to join our crapping session with justin, bryan, henli, and i.

anyways, i ended up sleeping only 3hrs...AGAIN, and woke up finding all 5 of us sleeping side by side...whoa, thats fierce...5 guys...and justin crawled INTO my sleeping bag....

anyways the morning rehearsal was a killer, kept fallign asleep xD, and i had remedial immediately after 12noon when band ended.

still lay ahead of me were 2 tuitions, 2.30 sci one and 7.30 hcl one....give me the strength!

first pic (my first and only chance to ruin my hair in sch)
supposed to end here but SOMEONE had to stick his arm up
back 2 back with spastic looks
"i'm in pain!"
"i'm in pain!"
gambling, reds VS yellows, the green's an extra =)

A photo can say a thousand things

But it can't say the million things I wanna say

A photo can capture the way we were

But it can't capture the way we are

'Cause you're far away

What it's like to know you

What it's like to touch you

When you told me that you loved me

were those just words

You can't tell me you don't need me

and I know that hurts

'Cause I'm looking at your picture

'Cause it's all I've got

Maybe one day

You and me will have one more shot

Timing lost minutes and moments

And I might be lonely girl

But I'm not afraid

In a second

It all comes right back to me

No nothing's forgotten now

Yeah everything's saved

What it's like to touch you

What it's like to know you, yeah

When you told me that you loved me

were those just words

You can't tell me you don't need me

and I know that hurts

'Cause I'm looking at your picture

'Cause it's all I've got

Maybe one day

You and me will have one more shot

You were my life

you were my faith

You gave me hope every day

When you told me that you loved me

were those just words

You can't tell me you don't need me

and I know that hurts

'Cause I'm looking at your picture

'Cause it's all I've got

Maybe one day

You and me will have

one more shot

19th March 2007

2007-03-19T21:12:00.000+08:00

ah, was made to run 1500m today for my house...
i didnt really want to run, had no running shoes, no mood, no strength....and i suck at such distances....
anyways i had band at that time, when the events were on.
i had a hard time trying to get out of the band room to participate in this as the conductress wasnt real happy i was gona be away for awhile.
i wasnt about to do well, and i knew it when i saw my competitors....all fitter people from sports/uniform groups.

while we were waiting mr.goh, one of the pe teachers came over. he looked around and exclaimed "whoa, joseph house liu luo dao pai Springsfield shang chang ah?", okayokay as in "whoa, joseph house has gone to the stage in which they have to send springsfield for races."
okay that was outright suan la, but he was right, i cant run such distance for nuts... i hate, but prefer distances such as 3000m and 4.5km, cause i stand a lil more chance in endurance races =)... why, the only reason i'm running is cause i did an average 21mins for my 4.5km competitive cross country that day...

anyways, i did real bad in that run luh.....6min 11 secs, 2nd last, and 1 sec slower than the 3rd last dude. and the only reason why i wasnt last was cause theres this dude who ran like 2 events before that already and had no strength to continue...=/
after the run, was so exhausted and dripping with sweat so much i couldnt focus on band much anymore...

great, cause i didnt wear proper shoes and so happened my schoolshoes was a super thin sole one, my leg was numb and aching after that.

sigh, tiring day, slept at 3am the night before....gona die already!!!
anyways, i was up chatting and surfing the net, chatting with sherilyn nicole till late 2am then i went to bed ><, gona be a tiring day for me again...

oh, give me the strength!!

2007-03-12T21:46:00.000+08:00

[racrc] Comm Service Project - CNY Celebration with the Elderly @ Thong Kheng Activity Centre

yup, it was an interesting day!
on the Sat, 10th March.
i skipped 2 tuitions that day for this event =P, woohoo!

it was quite an interesting event, attending to/entertaining folks =)
well, been very busy, no time to elaborate much =).

anyways, the event ended around 3 plus, earlier than expected. My bro was supposed to come too, but he had some course on and couldnt make it.
it was my first time around that area, and hell did i have a time trying to find the place!

anyways, met peiyan at the bus stop and she walked me in,to join the rest.
then we entered this room where all our bags were places and where all the goddie-bags for the elderly's were. i helped out at the sorting of some goodies into the bags. There, i got to know kai fen, edwin and li ling.
haha it was real funny, i was the one putting all the goddie bags on the table and pei yan n li ling were the ones who put packet stuffs into the bags and edwin and kai jen were supposed to pack the goodie bags into boxes, for everyone to take them out later. Then kai fen was like "Box!", then i have to look around me for empty boxes and pass to her and 2mins later she'll call out for "Box!" again =P.

we finished the packing rather fast, we went out and sorta helped at the serving of food to the elderly. the elderly people then had their karoke time while having their lunch, and it was a competition in which names are being called from a list and they have to sing.
it wasnt bad, and kai fen was laughing and smiling alot throughout as she took pics of the contestants =)...wow her camera was a 2000$ over set...i nearly fainted after she told me the price while i held the cam awhile for her.

later on, a few familiar rotarians came and i went over to say hi, and rotarian Aziz was real funny. he pat me on the shoulder as he told kai fen, li ling, who were around me "Alfred is real smart, go overseas already then send a representative(me) to come here on his behalf" haha, rotarian aziz is a real funny man, though heard that last time he was rather strict with people and fierce 0.o..

and a few rotarians whom i knew all told me to "look after ur big sisters" ><. why? shouldnt it be the other way round?? similar case in ryla too.. xD
anyways, there was many lucky draws and everything, and almost everyone got a prize =), cheers.

after everything ended, kai fen, pei yan, shu yan, li ling, kartini, edwin said they were headed to the IT FAIR and asked me along. Why not? got nth to do anyways =/
haha ironically was, that when we reached there we saw the crowd and didnt feel like going to the IT Fair already xD.
and on the bus ride there we were chatting, and we found a very similar "trait" abt each of us--Chocolate lovers!!! ahh, THIS is the group i want to hang out with =)

we hung out at this sorta chocolate shop, forgot the name....we ordered these 2 cakes and share among ourselves.
Ahh, that is life! anyways all along we were talking to each other and crapping alot and i realised that actually those rotaractors whom i thought were very strict like li ling wasnt bad at all! haha perhaps its cause i didnt know her at all then =D.
we were all talking and dont know why but always happen to tease kartini abt something, haha! but she doesnt mind anyways, so yeah =P! okays pics are below~~~
goody bags all packed up and ready to give the folks!
look at all the people there

7th March 2007

2007-03-07T22:05:00.000+08:00

was dragged out of the bed by my mum this morning, "its time to go to sch!" she yelled in my ear.
hmm, amazing, i got into and took attendance within 10mins, instead of the usualy 3 hrs =).

i was really feeling VERY LAZY, and thus did hardly any work posted up on the sch web(well practically didnt do anything at all except CSING with HuMEN xD!)
it isnt really totally MY fault, who told the teachers to give all homework and no online submission work to do =)??

but i felt rather sad. its my last e-learning day.
no more sleeping til 8, snacking whenever i want, multi-tasking work com tv phone and sms all at once ><, no more having the day through in my pyjamas =P!

well, i gues its back to making fun of classmates, kicking each other around, throwing paper balls at each other, vandalising some properties (opps =P), sleeping in class, sneaking snacks into class, hatching plans to irritate certain teachers in turns....yup! =)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
had band today in the afternoon,and was really pissed off by my DSA junior: CBY.
really driving me up the wall u know, with his attitude and lame excuses...like "i didnt come for band the last time cause i had e-learning then i dont know how to do so i took very long(e-learning ended at 2 while band is frm 3-7 that day)" arghh really man,cant take this dude anymore...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this friday the band having exchange programs with two other schs, dunman high and yio chu kang sec bands. We're the host this time, and so sec3s are gona organise.
enhao put daniel and i(we volunteered) as organisers and were to settle probs like how to bring them to the band room n stuffs. haha ycc was denied volunteer as enhao felt he was too flirtatious and will start asking the girls for their numbers and harass them xD, ycc got very emo after that 0.o

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

looking forward to the day of the exchange program, hope my section wont embarrass themselves, sigh!

friends getting sick one by one, take care y'all! drink lots of water n rest well!

parents gona be overseas for 6 days.............................FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5th March 2007

2007-03-06T17:05:00.000+08:00

E-Learning for 3 days, 5th - 7th March.

during this period of time, students need not go to school.
We have our lessons at home, on the sch portal web, all you have to do is to go online and log in to take attendance by 8am, do your assignments at assigned times, then sch will end at 12.15, 2pm,2pm for the respective 3 days.

sounds so cool right?
WRONG!

i woke up at 7 plus, went to the web at 7.50am(teacher said that u only can take attendance frm the survey page after 0730hr), then everything started to lag....i couldnt get the pages loaded and after a long wait they'll say "Page Cannot Be Found". grr, i refresh then i'd have to wait again.

so this prolonged all the way till 10.40am when i finally took my attendance. i was very frustrated i tell u, wasted so much of my time! it was schduled initially to have ur first period at 8, but it was 10.45am already and i had just taken my attendance.....nearly 3 hrs i sat there waiting for miricles to happen!
friend who overslept and tried at 9 got in by 9.15am which then pissed me off even more.

throughout i was telling junwen, "hey dude, scrap this shit, lets go play cs la, lets go lets go." haha we were both frustrated cause we couldnt get in.

well i later found out donglum my classmate, sat at macs with his laptop since 7.30 and couldnt logg in until 11.45am when our form-teacher finally called him to ask why. he was very pissed with the whole system too and then told my form teacher the reason and she was speechless too.
it was sad, he only did the first period's work then he gotta go for band which starts at 3.

anyways conclusion:
SCH SHOULD SCRAP THIS WHOLE E-LEARNING IDEA CAUSE THEY CANT GET IT RIGHT FOR NUTS.

for me, i was lagging alot together with my friends. Junwei then introduce to me this rather cool shizzle ( www.myheritage.com ), it was a web which provided this hi-tech program in which when u upload a pic they will scan/analysize for you and after like 30secs they will let u know how much u resemble a certain celebrity/celebrities. haha we were playing around with our own pics as we got different results. Haha the first pic i uploaded they said i had resemblance to alot of female celebrities, totally no males at all. haha i must have had smiles very gay for that pic, but i got around 53% for the actress of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Opps, not supposed to be happy abt it.

anyways, i was running late for band by then, and hurriedly got showered and left.

2nd March 2007 (RCRC CNY Fellowship)

2007-03-05T07:48:00.000+08:00

RCRC CNY Fellowship

alrighty 2007 rcrc fellowship dinner/cny celebration was held at my house.

dad had specially called for people to set up a tentage for the yard in case it rained and tables n chairs to be laid there for guests.
i was late, had band till 6.45 and guests were to come around 7 plus, and in which my plan to reach home by 7.30 was foiled cause i waited for the bus 13 for like 45mins?! omg la, all the other buses went by at least twice already....i specially requested to leave on time as i had to rush back home, then now i see all the other band members released and got into the other buses while i still waited for the bus 13....

fianlly i see my bus approaching form a distance....wait....it were 2 buses....-.-. two bus 13s arrive at the same time, both equally packed.....
i was carrying quite a heavy load ytd....had to bring all my textbooks from the locker back as i had Home-Schooling on Mon,Tues,Wed....needed my texts, then was lugging my sax and my heavy score, and a few files which i needed the notes too...

okays i arrived at yio chu kang mrt station and only to realise the shuttle bus i was supposed to take just left... ARGHH!

on the way back i met my bro walking on the road, and we entered the house together, he just came back from his army camp.
whoa, okayyy....alot of guests had arrived already, and we were both tired and dirty. shook a few hands, smiled a few times, then went up to shower.

anyways, that night we had a lion dance troupe coming up.
when they arrived, alot of our guests got quite a surprise, there were like abt 4 or 5 lions, 1 pig, 1 god of fortune. it was some sort of cool package my mom got from a friend's recommendation.

there was a delay, cause the god of fortune initially couldnt make it cause his suit was wet by the earlier rain 0.o. BUT my mom insisted on the god of fortune and the troupe had no choice but to travel back to get one suit...poor them =/
meantime we all had buffet dinner, laid down by some caterer.
Catered Buffet Dinner!

Coffee, Tea, but not me!

when the dance started, the lions strod in one by one, the stuntman carrying the guy with the lion's head and entering from the gate.
they danced with the loud percussion, then one of the lion's went up to get the tied up cabbage n onions my dad hung from the rim of my bball hoop.

after the dance the lions left its spot, leaving the initial plate of oranges into 4 numbers. people then gathered excitedly to record the number down to buy 4-D =P.

that night, i was made the "cameramen" by my dad as he was busy entertaining to guests/rotarians.

some neighbours came, and some kids were children of rotarians there...but there was this young girl, i saw her twice, the first time i knew of her name i became rather emo....
her name was sharlene.
immediately, memories came back to me, both pleasent and unpleasent......
but it was all in the past, i shouldnt brood over it......but can i not? this is sharlene, making a pose for my pic =).

Rotarians + Dad

they left the lion's heads on the ground while we await for the arrival of the god-of-fortune

god-of-fortune and the lion dance troupe!

lions + golden pig! uncle johnson writing his chinese calligraphy words for rotarians.

INTER-HOUSE CROSS COUNTRY 07 / ROTARY WORLD UNDERSTANDING & PEACE DAY 07

THAT, was one of my most tiring day.

firstly, me, unfit and out of shape since sec 1, was forced to run for my house Jospeh(yellow), together with about 8 others from my house, together with another 31(total runners abt 40) from the other 3 houses in the inter-house cross country COMPETITIVE race.

actually, Everyone has to run, either for the competitive(4.5km) or mass run(3.2km).

i have no idea, but i'm gonna kill that guy who forced me into running for the competitive race.
that was the first time i did the race. up against many track n field ppl and those from other sports, and of course the small no. of out of shape ppl like myself =/.

we were to report at 7.30am at turf city, and i were late already, what a start.
when i reached turf city where everone gathered, they announced "All competitors take note, your run will start in roughly 10 minutes." great, now i cant warm up and get my number.

anyways, i got my runner's number---37 and gathered at the competitor's area for further news.

okay race begins, sec 2 first, sec 1s, then sec 3s.

when the signal sounded, everyone started.
within 3 mins, i was already one of the last 5 ><. nevermind, i just maintain my speed without panic, in mind just not wanting to be the last 10.

amazing, slowly, slowly, i catch up with the other competitors. was exhausted already, but still continued. along the route abt every 50m there would be a uniform grp guy stationed, to show u the direction and just in case anyone fainted.
okay, i didnt stop at all throughout the race, except one part when i overtook like 4 sportsmen who were tired and walking, then it hit my spirit and i uncontrollably stopped too. luckily i managed to force myself to continue after 10secs.

i was amazed, i overtook quite a few track members already(not trying to act, but really i did). well, some was cause they got stitch and some had blisters. slowly, people lost their stamina, but i forced and pushed myself to continue.

oh yeah, did i mention i was the only one running with a bottle of water in my hand? hahaha it was so funny la.

okay throughout the run i keep thinking i couldnt make it, but pushed on and really kept myself running. then i saw the crowd, then i saw the sport teachers.
then hod of sport was like "Springsfield, run, quickly, quickly!!!" i thought that was the finishing line, and sprinted towards him despite my exhaustion, head to head with Jonathan Cher, one of my two friends from basketball i overtook jsut 5secs before, whose short distance dash are amazingly powerful.

then when i slowly down as i crossed my teacher and he said the ending line wasent there, and pointed to somewhat 200m across. i was totally shocked and rather demoralised..i think jonathan was, too. we were deceived!!..immediately i got overtook by one of my friend again.

then i pressed and push on, already very exhausted from the sprint i did... well i crossed the finishing line before jonathan, but unfortunately couldnt catch up with qi ming who overtook me once more after i was demoralised... i over-exherted, once more, pushed myself over the limit..... i was panting and shaking and walking in circles while tryint to catch my breath at the finishing line for a full 10mins. i later walked back to where my bags were together with a few competitors.

i couldnt walk straight, everything suddenly seemed to just slow down, i only heard my breathing n panting, my arms and legs were numb already. i didnt care about the crowd, i just walked through them, expecting them to give way, lazy to twist and turn my body to avoid banging against them, and they really did give way. my head was spinning, my mind was blank, my body was number, all for several minutes before i finally recover.

well in the end i check the results, i was ranked 17 with timing of 21mins 12secs for the distance of 4.5km....=/.
anyways, it was such an experience...i never want to do it again.......for at least a year =).

(for those who read this and felt offended, sorry man, didnt mean it. perhaps my english expressions are bad, dont take it to heart, not trying to act good runner =) )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ okay after the mass run, i met up with my friend daniel and went to his house to shower first before going to band. i was really tired already la....still had band, really out to kill =(. something even better happened, after my run, i had stomach ache, those only time can cure.... then during band i couldnt exhert air out or my stomach will hurt more ><...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at night my parents took me to this Rotary World Understanding & Peace Day dinner event.
it was an all adults event, but since a few rotarians couldnt make it my parents decide to take my bro and i there.
It was at Swissotel, Merchant Court.

then something really Great happened, i asked my mom if i needed a black suit like my dad and bro and she said no need, then when we entered the sorta waiting room, it was filled with men in black suits in ties, and i was the outstanding one in RED long sleeve....very well done....
i later realised why, cause in the invitation letter stated "Men in Lounge Suites, Women in Night Dress"......=(
the so-called waiting room was quite an area, everything was carpetted,

okay anyways, everything was so cool, so formal.
the dinner began with waiters n waitresses entering the room form two different doors holding the dish in one hand as the music played and lights dim. then they pause at the assigned table, and slowly place the dish on the table altogether. That, was the first course out of six, of the dinner.

the MC was a member of RCRC (rotary club of raffles city), he was rather good, adding in quite a few short jokes in his speeches and addresses, which were actually funny =P.

here's one: A men once told his friend he had killed a lion "I have finally killed a lion!!!". The friend, who knew he could never differenciate between lion and tiger, asked "How do you know its a lion??" then the men said happily "i found a membership card on him =)"
for those who didnt catch it, tell me, i'll explain it =).

anyways, there was a guest of honour and his wife, then skits and plays by ppl who have been sponsored by rotary in some learning, like elderly chinese women learning english nursury folk songs, in-line dancing, and young kids who learnt to dance.

anyways, at that event were representatives of 23 rotary clubs, probably all the clubs in singapore(did i get it right? correct me if not), and Raffles City Rotary Club had 2 tables booked cause there were a lil more representatives than others.
and i later learnt that per seat, costed $60!!!!!! and my bro and i got in free cause 2 adults who paid couldnt make it =/.

what a night, i will post some pics later on, see them later then!

Chinese New Year!!!

went visiting probably the first half of the day since morning when i went to my grandma's hse.
that day, my mum forced me to dress ALMOST the SAME outfit as my bro: Pink shirt, white long pants, and a white button-up shirt to wear over. Err, that looked so PAP la.... u'll see it when i post it up later on into my blog...
wherever we went ppl were like "whoa, twins ah you 2? pap ah?" =/

oh yeah , it was VEGETARIAN DAY too. i was fine with it AT FIRST, but my bro was already complaining, cause he claimed he would become weak w/o Meat and stuffs, haha.
we had vegetarian lunch at my granny's hse, fake meat("fake", thats what we call it), fake prawn, fake fish etc etc~
yup and after lunch my bro just slump onto the sofa, saying he's gona faint already frm lack of nourishment =P.

okay photo taking time~ ladies first.....all my aunts + grandma and my mum of course (lady cousin overseas, eliz jie =/)

then it was all the guys turn....cousins+uncles, haha my aunts were like complaining they cant fit all of us into the pic, too many of us 0.o. then they made us stand slanted sideways, just to fit all of us into the picture XD.

blah the whole day was practically visiting frm hse to hse....nth to elaborate.

dinner, i was feeling the pain already....was still real hungry after my meal...and still abide by the principle: No Meat
fine, my bro and i then await for that moment: 12 midnight!

okays, i didnt feel like sleeping, so i stayed online and chat....yeap, chat till 1 plus am then i slept. (parents didnt stop me. they couldnt...well, how can a sleeping person do that =)?)

end of chinese new year

Chinese New Year Eve

2007-02-17T22:03:00.000+08:00

Hey all,
Happy Eve of Chinese New Year!! (hmm is it me or does that line sound weird...)

anyways, for the FIRST time in my life, i had NO tuitions on saturday!!!!!!! usually i'd have 3 in sat.

woohoos, i woke up at 7 no worrying about my unfinished maths tuition hmwk and the trouble to cycle upslope all the way to tuition teacher's hse=).

dad golfing, mum went to buy breakfast+marketing, bro goes out to repaint the main gate while I....... hey who says i not doing anything HUH? i was online, watching tv, listening to music, smsing, and talking on the phone all at once! who says thats not work?? its called MULTI-TASKING =).

alrighty mum made me go to the barber immediately after breakfast as she felt my hair was too long(ya right...) & cause she says that barbers will close early today cuz of CNY, well i found out later on that the barber was closing at 9pm, even on public holidays, whoa my mum is a kan-jiong spider man, rushed me to get to the barber....

okay my mum as usual left me to cut hair while she goes to buy some stuffs nearby, and i as usual fall asleep as the barber cut my hair......how i regret it.... i woke up and was like" WHOA!What Happened Here??" at the sight of my hair. sigh, when will i ever learn???
hmm, well some areas WERE a lil long then i requested for the barber to cut it a lil shorter as he was removing the cloth, he then stared at me and grumbled some stuffs then put the cloth back on.

i musta pissed him off or something cause i remembered clearly i said a LIL shorter at CERTAIN areas but then he practically gave me the "i-am-frm-ns-pls-cut-extra-short-for-me" haircut. okay so besides the fact that my hair is ruined, nth else to elaborate abt it.

okay then i somehow spent the whole afternoon slping, perhaps frm the trauma of my new haircut 0.o?
then it was time for the reunion dinner at my grandma's hse. everyone were there, except a few relatives who were overseas.
we had quite a time, my 1st uncle telling us stuffs in which half were full of nonsense... steamboat, "lo-hei" and other food, yum~

okay then my 1st uncle asked me a question, "Springsfield, how much money is in your bank?" he asks. lol i dont know...my mum takes all my money one XD and i dont have a bank acc, so....all my money is my parents money, and all their money is STILL their money ><. then he said "like that die liao la, die le" haha~

i'm now at home, blogging, multi-tasking.
using the com ,chatting, blogging, smsing, doing up cny stuffs for my mum.
blog while doing other stuffs around the hse, pro right?

ah, gathering on the 19th gotta cancel cause of the lack of ppl!!! how....sobsob... and 20th don even know if more can make it or not...hey u guys contact me okay if u can make it on the 20th?

ah this week i have the most time yet mel is only free next week, when i have 3 tuitions on sat~ why so unlucky =/?

.....i just staggered into the hse to the com, cause while at the front door just now i did a swift and fast karate kick on my punching bag like how my martial art skilled friend taught me, and injured my toe..... wrong angle....=(
and earlier on i hurt my ankel while i was hopping around the house and not landing on the ground properly with 2 feet...

okay i'm all sore n aching, i need a good rest before i start harming myself silly again.

End of CNY Eve.

the era-s

2007-02-17T07:44:00.000+08:00

hello all,
havent been blogging yes i know.
there are only a few reasons why i dont blog for a period of time:
1. I'm Busy
2. I'm Lazy(seldom XD)
3. Nth to blog abt
4. I've been Emo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okay yesterday was......yes 16th feb. tiring day.

Feb 16th was my sch's CNY celebration day. Only had 2 periods of lessons. Scheduled to end at 12.50pm. Its like yays can go outing with friends, see pri sch teachers, have lunch with them, go home n rest early BUT, i had cca till 6pm that day =(....

okay my 2 periods were Eng lit and maths.
i just love my eng lit lessons alright, not cause of the subject, but more cause of my teacher.
She's just so sacarstic yet funny la. Using lines such as " Hey, have you fainted?" whenever someone put his head onto the table and "Act Normal, act nomal" to people who were high during her class in a very funny tone. Her lessons never fail to.........interest me(almost wanted to use the word excite, no~ it does not sound wrong at all.)

We spent like 20mins trying to get the visualiser to work, i volunteered to help cause no one else did and she sorta forced me toXD. Though i'm new to it i thought to myself i might as welll try out and play around with it, and cause we needed it for our PPT presentation.

later on seeing no improvement XD, she told me to join the class as she talked to the class abt our project. i ignored her and continued to play around with the visualiser to get it to work, then she said "Springsfield, go back, i need Visual.(of all of us)" damn funny la can? you wont understand one, unless ur taught by her.
okay then she asked someoen else frm another class to come to help. That guy pressed TWO buttons and it worked already.
Silly us, we tried everything frm adjusting the wires to restarting the visualiser and yet, we forgot to change the mod of the visualiser to the correct input.....

okay for maths our teacher let us have a free period, yays.
we some helped to work on our class Mascot, we had to present to the sch later on, each class was given an animal to make. WE, got cow.

okay Marcus was the mascot, and he was like gona kill me already for giving him the pair of white long johns which were a lil....tight for him. and cause that day he wore a red underwear and it kinda was see-able thru the white long johns...ahems. My form teacher was like, "heys u all dont laugh at him la" while then later on she saw clearly and then literally ROFL.

hmm, after maths we all went to the hall for the cny celebration. Rats i didnt know Student Leaders could wear home clothes too, cause i thought we needed to do with the tie n badge so i wore uniform....argh!

the celebration lasted til like 12.50 then daniel and i rushed to j8 for lunch, since time was running out. We like rushed through our meal and rushed back only to still be late and had indigestion ><.

the training today was rather hiong...had long tones for 2hrs...then my lips were like dying already..sore and aching...sigh. plus i was sleepy kept falling asleep, couldnt concentrate at all.

after band, my parents took me out to buy a pair of sneakers at j8. i saw the price of one pair of converse shoes to be 49.90 and i almost fainted....well i've never bought converse shoes, howd i to know =P?

so...i decided to venture for a cheaper yet good pair of sneakers the next time i go out with friend, haha.(excuse to go out =P)

9th February 2007

2007-02-09T23:03:00.000+08:00

alrighty, this is the day for all to remember!..... nah just joking, nothing much today either.
Morning was Hcl paper. i knew i shouldnt have played that arm wrestling with my friend earlier that morning....we both like was expecting a quickie(i meant arm wrestling!) but it ended up we both had roughly the same amt of strength and both struggled for a long 5mins straight...
i ended with up a tired and aching writing hand for a long test ahead of me, oh my...

anyways the paper was relatively okay i managed to finish it on the dot!
ah my poor arm...

okay, i supposedly have this National Education MC rehearsal in the afternoon, but something musta happened cause my form teacher tells me i better go for my cca, as she didnt want to interfear with our training for the upcoming syf, and she'll contact on mon, yays i dont have to go for some stupid rehearsal jsut for being MC.

hmm, now that i think of it, my impression of today was quite vague...

well after band everyone went to play sports, cause today was the last paper everyone was rejoicing...
i was supposed to sell 6 concert tickets for my this friend in SAJC(st andrews), but in the end no one wanted to buy, and i also thus dont feel like going myself either =/, guess he got pissed with me for not going at all ><.

anyways, after that, some ppl went to play tabletennis, some played catching(really),some played soccer at the pri bball court. as for ME, i went to the playground beside the bball court and sat there n stone n sms friends~

suddenly, arguement aroused and it broke my daydreaming.
i looked up. and after a few minutes i realised what was happening.
this dude called Ivan(sec 2 band member) is creating problem, cause ppl were already playing street soccer at the bball court then he go there play basketball(shooting hoops alone).
he sorta was quite an obstruction and this angered one sec 4 when he didnt want to go away.

ivan started to get stubborn even though the few seniors tried to persuade him to go elsewhere, only there was no elsewhere else to play basketball since both courts are occupied (the sec court by the bball team training, the pri court by sec4s playing soccer)
this rowdy sec 4 was getting pissed cause ivan is so stubborn and refuses to listen despite ppl keep persuading him to leave the court case he gets hurt by the ball.

then i dont know why/what, but he starts saying something like "senoirs always telling n teaching us to SHARE, look what they are doing now." and things like "this is a public court, i do what i like"...........he kept repeating n repeating, weird...

then the sec4 dude comes over takes his ball and pumps it away. 1min later ivan returns with his ball again, and thhe sec4 dude pumps it again, vicious cycle...

then later the sec4 was tired of all of that and then started to kick a table(found near the net) onto the court. he threw the table around the court a few times, dangerous act. and then acted very xiong, like he wanted to fight like that.

Ahem, the time has arrived! i felt that things werent too good then i stop smsing and walked headed towards chaos.
i acted hero/cool dude for that moment, as i went over and snatched the table away from that sec4. i placed the table by the side and said " Dont mess around with tables. " then he looked as if he wanted to punch me then i said coldly, "You're older than them, YOU should know better." and walked off back to my comfy spot =).

hmmm dads yelling, okay...will continue next time..

8th February 2007

2007-02-08T21:28:00.000+08:00

alrighty, i can continue blogging from today onwards cause my common tests are sorta over (tmr is the last paper: higher chinese, but dont have to study)

okay heres some irony....i dont have to study anymore, i should be happy and celebrating right? strange....really...
i dont know, perhaps it was the few hrs of basketball after sch followed by the 1hr cl tuition...i feel..very tired suddenly.
i feel, very tired of everything,
i'm feeling, emo all of the sudden... like omg i'm always telling friends not to be emo and stuffs but dont know why i suddenly just--down.

no sense actually, i was like smsing my friends and was laughing at ourselves but then later, just become down.

very irritable.
violent impulse in me.
wanted to break something.
wanted to sleep through everything.
didnt want dinner(but mum forced me to)
games didnt even interest me...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okay nothing much tomorrow,
except for the fact that i cant go to the telok kurai(dont know how its spelled) thing that starts at perhaps 1.40pm i think til 4pm cause i've got band til at least 6.30pm yeah..

Band. Facing of juniors. Coaching the lifeless juniors.

oh, and before that i've got to go for the rehearsal for the National Education MC, that would be officially held on the coming Wed. abt 3.30-4.30pm so i think i'll go for band after that(compulsory to anyways)

oh, and i'll be getting a new phone this sat! yayness, finally after 4yrs, shouldnt i be happy?
but the current situation is that the phones are too expensive, it just puts me off to see other suscribing phone companies charging their customers like 100$ cheaper than what i'd have to pay.
well, my decision now is between Nokia 6288 and Sony Ericsson z610i, but i'll most likely get the sony ericsson one cause my friend has it and she wants me to get the same phone as her(i think) =P. haha okay maybe its I who wants to get the same phone as her, maybe not. But both costs same, so i'll get either. sources tell me 6288 aint that good so, probably not getting that one. WEll, we'll see by then yeah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay i'm still feeling emo and stuffs, and mum is pissing me off with her usual nagging and for me to constantly remind her stuffs every 15mins...Why la....someone just tell me why?
okay, perhaps its some psychological stress, lol~
haha i need to get out.....staying home makes me emo...

i need to get out, break free,i'm really tired, far too tired....

2007-02-06T19:46:00.000+08:00

alright, alright!!
due to the *ahem* overwhelming response from all my previous posts and the too-many-to-count demands for my update though its common test week and i'm so screwed cause i havent studied much, i shall *cough* sacrifice some precious time to blog a lil.
So just chill~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5th February 2007

okay this is the day!
my first common tests paper: English Language
okay we're given 1 hr 45mins for the paper.
Format: Part A: 1 compo (2 qns given u pick one to write on) Part B: Letter Writing

alrighty, so i got my paper, i looked at that two part a question and stunned. like omg i dont know how to write....no lin gan....erms, yeah! inspiration!
i was like hmmmm, how? how? springsfield! decisive, decisive!! then i just hecked the part a and took a new sheet of paper and started on the Part B, which i felt was easier to start. Letter Writing, not much kick in doing, its just how you score thats different =/.
i got rather shaky suddenly cause i feared i would forget the format for letter writing anyways. then for letter writing i had to write my Full name, address n postal code, then leave a line then write the full date.
my shock came, i was like....hmm full date huh....okay 5 febura...februra....OMG! how...how to spell FEBRUARY!?
whoa but luckily i later remembered. wheww..

woohoo! i managed my time well, and i finished my letter writing and had 55mins exactly left for my Part A (i finished off 2 FULL pages for my letter writing, use till the very last line of the page)

anyways i suddenly remembered the conflict between two ppl that morning, and just nice for my compo topic "Betrayed" =)

i rushed like hell cause suddenly got alot of inspiration, and rushed my ending abit to meet the time requirements. anyways, completed it anyways.

after the paper when were discussing the papar we just completed, my friend said "fuck!" caused he made a stupid mistake, then the invigilator heard, who so happened to be my last yr eng teacher who dont like ppl to say vulgarities. she then pulled him out and "councelled" him for awhile while we all burst in laughter XD.

later we had PE, then maths lesson, and after maths lesson was recess.
some of us were changing in classroom after the maths lesson and my teacher(Mr. Teo) was packing up ready to leave then he said "Hey Shi Cheng! dont change here, so big already!" just as my friend was wearing his shorts. we all looked at each other, then everyone burst out in laughter, the few of us left in the classroom i mean. then he said "Springsfield! i meant his AGE la, what you thinking??" then i hear already we all laugh even harder and didnt stop for quite a while...=))
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 February 2007
