back from lvl camp

ahhz... the last day of August, and embracing september at full blast now.... XP yay! Hahahaz... and of coz, the holidays have just begun! gotta get my sch projects in order soon. =D LOL!

Anyway, the beginning of september isn't important to me. What's of significance today, is that I just came back from my sch's lvl camp!!! Yay, after 3 days, 2 nights of supposedly "torture" and "pain", I am finally back and sitting in front of my com. Hahaz... being at camps makes me feel damn deprived, especially of my com. However, I won't be minding camps that have easy access to the internet...... *yea right. I wish*

Day 1, 29/8 Monday

Reported to sch at usual time, bah. If only they could have allowed us to report later, then I would be able to get a couple of extra hours at sleeping... Hahaz, anyway, met up with the rest of the SLs in the hall, and recalled the former Arthur crew (ARTHUR ROCKS THE SLs! WHEEE). Go eugene! Go charmaine! Go flo! Go asra! Go ganshun! Go yuting! Go sri! Go aiwei! Go kegan! Go me! *redundant* lolz... yeps, feels so gd being back together, it's like a reunion of long parted brothers and sisters... (exaggeration) hahaha. then assembly in hall, ms flo lays out the ground, fundamental rules to be followed in the camp, like how to fall in, gather, report strength, even how to do a proper pushup! lolz! Interesting start, and the SLs get to flaunt our skills at these stuff (since we were heavily drilled during the SL camp in June), especially during the bag inspection!!! Wahahahaha... I bet all the SLs muz feel so proud of themselves for being able to do it so fast. =))) haha! The poor students were all having loads of problems trying to do this fast like us SLs, but nvm. I am sure the next time they do bag inspection, they will be ready for it.

Met up with my mentor grp instructor in charge (IC), eddie. Man, ok, he doesn't look exactly very cool, or handsome for tt matter, but he really speaks in style, and awed me completely... Hahaz, he ROX k! eddie roxxorz! Better than anyother instructor (i dun care even if ur instructor is tougher, or more "shuai" than eddie, but in my opinion, he's the best instructor I have seen)... XP LOLz... had briefing, then went off to do my "special" task, but she won't accept it unless I brought my partner. Sigh. Oh well, nvm. got to find him...

Aboard the bus, and off we went to CDANS @ Bukit Batok. When we reached there, I was rather errm... amused, with what the campsite contained. In comparison to what I saw at the Jalan Bahtera camp which I went last year for sec 2 camp, this place can be considered paradise! Lets see... 8 bunks laid out in quite an open space (of which 4 are air-conditioned), and below each one, there's a toilet, sink, and stove. o.0 Kaoz... where got campsite liddat one?! Really amusing, but of coz, we students weren't so lucky. We had to sleep in tents, 5 men per tent... XD wheee, mass gay party in the night!!! MUAHAHAHA... ahhz, juz kiddin! Anyway, tt doesn't count the bball court, tennis court, and a golf range situated JUST BESIDE the camp. =.= Man, this camp doesn't look like a camp at all larrr... sad. But anyway, at least its got a nice forested area... *looks natural enuff*

1st activity was high elements. *YAWN* boredboredbored. Those stuff are like, so freaking easy compared to what the councillors saw at STADA camp, and they were LOWER than the usual high elements!! oh menn... can it still be considered "high" then? wth... sigh, wad a disapointment. cmon asra! you can do it man! =D Then some talk by a Caucasian guy named tim. Hmm, he ain't too bad, but later on the contents got too boring for me to listen, so ended up dozing off.... haiz.

After lunch, we went for the "bridge construction" activity. Ahhz, this one is something new to me, cuz 2 leaders were shown one half of each bridge, and they are expected to construct it using straw and tape within a limited time, without seeing the entire product. So, the leaders were expected to be able to communicate very very well, almost to the point of telekinesis or sth in my opinion o.0 Hahahaz... our 304 bridge was a failure, however, I believe yingzhen and I brought something home to better ourselves as leaders in school... =D Then got to go for round 2 of talks. Dozed off AGAIN. sigh... but the most exciting part was the "practical" session of pusher-resistor-coach. We were supposed to push the resisting force and with help from the coach, reach our "goal", but it looks real stupid larr. reico, tan li, and I were in one grp, and when I was the resistor against reico, something really caught me off guard tt until now, I still cannot get it out of my mind... When reico pushed, he shouted,

"FOR THE TOILET PAPER!!!"

and in 2 seconds, I was on the floor, not reeling in pain, but in unstoppable laughter... oh my gawsh, for the toilet paper! Thx sooooooo much to tan li and reico lor, bah. XD XD XD Then for the remainder of the day (and the camp), we were ranting on and on about the toilet paper incident. Wahahhaah... full story is too stupid for me to blog abt, lest ppl give me a -10 points for coldness scale. =)

Then was flying fox. Done before, so I didn't bother redo-ing again, and let the other people in 304 who have never done it b4 to hava shot at it. Left me pretty satisfied with the day. Dinner, and then there was night orienteering. w00tz, now this activity was really something new too. We were sent to walk in a forest reserve just opposite Bukit Batok Road, and go to specific checkpoints along the entire trek in there to recover chess pieces. Whew... it wsa a really cool experience, cuz I got a rare chance to smell the freshness of the cool, relaxing night air of nature, plus admire the scenery of the dark fields and let awe overwhelm me. Really, it was such a... weird, and interesting feeling tt took over me when I was in there. Maybe the next few camps can include more stuff like this... =D When we were finally done, we're given 3min each to bathe, before proceeding back to the tents to sleep. Thx goodness, I was camping with oliver, clement, derrick, and chin pin. If people any bigger was to sleep in the same tent as me hor (ie. thejas, reico, caiyue, eugene, etc), I wldn't need to sleep at all... XD

Day 2 30/8 Tuesday

Ahaz, woke up at hourly intervals through the nite, rather uncomfortable, since it was the 1st time I was sleeping in a tent (the past camps were in sheltered areas, bunks, and dorms). It even began to drizzle some time at 2am! Gah. Shoes are all wet liao... But still managed to make it, and survive *quoted from chin pin* LOL. Morning PT, and then breakfast. Was raining rather heavily, so the instructors let us wait in the MPH for a while for the rain to clear up, before we headed out for our City Hunt... whoawhoawhoa, very cool activity they got here. Got us to leave the campsite and go to various checkpoints within the vicinity. Hahaha! fun! especially considering the fact tt we had to walk from CDANS campsite to the nearest SPC gas station (in jurong east), then walked to japanese gardens, where we spent approx 50min wandering round its border before finding the exact meeting spot. Then cooked our lunch there by field cooking. Had maggie mee... then moved off to IMM to carry out our last task where we bought 10 eggs and carried them home in 10 socks from 10 of our right foots. >.< Bah... and walked alllllllll the way back to the campsite. Ohohoh! and eddie has helped us get back by singing the "99 bottles of beer" song! whoopee! Wahahahahaz!

"... 99 bottles of beer (milk: for the underaged) on the wall,
99 bottles of beer!
take one down, toss it around,
98 bottles of beer on the wall..."

I think 304 did almost 2.5 cycles of this on our return trip back. We were so confident tt we would be 1st in city hunt, and we're singing tt song so loudly and proudly as we paraded into the campsite, only to find... ... ... tt we were LAST. damnit. wadda party pooper =( But we did fine I think, and I AM PROUD OF 304!!! WE GUYS ROCK! XD

then we prepared for the teachers' day dinner! Whoa, what a cool dinner man! In style too, with candlelights, people serving food, and clear-up ppl too! Hahahaz... all at a campsite too. =) Was in-charge of washup, perhaps one of the most stressful jobs, since it involves loads of coordination and work to ensure everything is spick and span. When the teachers were done, they moved off to the campfire site *at the tentage area*. It was then, which I and my partner went to carry out our tasks. Got a rather embarassing dressing down, but I believe it was worth it, for the gd and betterment of ourselves as gentlemen and role models in school. Dun worry, I WILL REGAIN TT RESPECT WHICH I THROWN AWAY IN A MOMENT OF FOLLY.

Campfire! Okay, nushs' 1st ever campfire! wow! Hahahaz... the programmes weren't too bad, but they would need to be able to grip more of the students' attention the next time, cuz I didn't sense the togetherness at this camp fire like I did when I was back in sec 2 camp in CHS. Haiz, pity really. =( Then after campfire came the highlight of the game... WAR GAMES!!! AND THE SLs are the HUNTERS! *wheee! time for some real fun* hehhehehh.... *sadistic laugh* Bah, wadeva. There were like, so many people running past me, that I decided catching all of them was no use, cuz liddat the torture chamber will comfirm overflow with ppl. >< So, I decided to go taunt at them instead, and chase them to make them scatter away... Lolz! Feeling very powerful by holding a torchlight with me, compared to the rest of the poor students who are not allowed torches. =( Injuries and casualties everywhere, not to mention mud too *shoes and berms got mud*, but everyone got to the torture chamber at the end and settled it there.

By the time we got to bed, it was 1am in the morning... sigh, dead tired liaox... Slept very well tt nite...

Day 3 31/8 Wednesday

DAY 3! we get to go home! WHeeeeee! Hahahz... instructors allowed us to wake up approx 1 1/2 hrs later, giving us the much needed rest. Oh, no morning PT today too, and breakfast was nasi lemak (or something liddat)! YAY*3!!! XD Haahahahhaz... had area cleaning for the rest of the day, before reaching back to sch at 12noon. Sigh... it was kinda sad to part with instructor eddie, after what 304 and him have gone thru together during this camp, but still, gd men have to part, and I do hope I get a chance to meet him again someday! XP

Whew... tt was the entire camp in a nutshell then. Okay fine, not so much a nutshell, maybe a watermelon? I dunno... you make the call. =D

Saturday. Start the hols!

Whew... finally a weekend where I can truly for a moment put aside everything that bogging down my poor overworked mind *wait. i think it is underworked. omg*. Hahaz, wadeva. Anyway... late night blogging again, but I won't mind writing a long article tonight. After all, tmr's a Sunday! XD

Gone to school at 9am today for math oly training. And sheesh kebab, I found my physics textbook LYING THERE ON THE CANTEEN TABLE. Some joker muz have taken it yesterday without informing me, and just dumps it back on the table and pray to god tt i will pick it up soon... wth. BAH. Irritating, but at least I got the book back *lest I cannot do my assignment 5. gulp*. Chatted a little with jac and bry, since there was no spare bball lying around for me to train with (nat took his old ball and dumped it with the rest of the school balls! nooooo). Bah, feel so bored. Tried to do abit of log hw from last lesson, but cldn't do the last 2 qns. sheet, feel so depressed! =(

Lesson today's abt quadratic eq: discriminants and relations between the coefficients. Not too bad, the qns, but we didn't have time to finish, so dr chua let us bring our work home to do. And I just checked, and realised that there is NO LESSON for the next 2 weeks! w00tz! No need to go back in the mornings to slug my guts out over those math qns!!! XD Wahahahha... at least my sat mornings are freed for late mornings and lazing about. *grins* anyway, I also had a peek at all nushs yr 3 students' scores for Senior paper. Heh, well, can't say it's brilliant, but at least everyone got one point! =) Sigh... just have to work harder next year then.

Then went to Singapore Expo with my parents to go for the Popular warehouse sales... lotsa stuff, nothing much that caught my interest though. My thoughts are lingering on the dream mp3 which i am intending to buy soon... hmm. But anyway, thx to my mum, I bought a waist pouch, and a military atlas for WW1 and WW2! =D Totally cooL! Hahahaz...

Reached home, and been slacking up till now... Really must unwind enuff before camp comes man, or else later breakdown there... GAH. hahaz.. and got to start on the holiday homework soon too. =( sigh...

But, there's no running from it. Holidays, HERE I COME! XP

end of a stressful week + end of term!

ahhz... long time haven't blogged! Must record the details of this week into today's post.

Got 4 tests in total: Chinese, English, Bio, Physics.

Chinese was okay. I did it pretty decent, and got 59/70. okay. just take note of the fact that this is yr 3 CL, and if my instincts dun fail me, it is equivalent to yr 1 HCL. So yea, u guys can do the math =) anyway, reason i cldn't get 60+ was bcoz i screwed my zhong1 he2 tian2 kong1 was screwed damn badly... bah. I suck. Must work harder on that. =D

English was... err, fun? We watched the short film "Autograph Book", about these 2 girls in primary school that are leaving soon, and they each had their own autograph book and they were doing lotsa stuff with it. We had to do a review on that documentary, and man, i did not have time to round up!!! sheesh, and i swear ms chan was muttering under her breath something about me not being on point... gah. fail liao la. *beep*

Bio was on wednesday afternoon, and it was absolutely screwed for me. LEFT QN3 OPEN ENDED (15m) BLANK!!! Holy *beep*, I am so in deep shit. preparing to get marks below 70 =( Gahness....

Physics test today!!! BAH. Oh god... lemme pass, and I'd give you anything u ask for. >.< Damnit. and it is supposed to be EZ o.0 Oh men... *dies*

OK, that's so much for the tests. abit more about other significant events tt occured during the week...

Wednesday afternoon, after the bio test, we had NUSHS 1st ever history forum, discussing about whether the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki using the atomic bomb was justified. I was speaker, speaking against the justification. And delivered my speech. Guess wad, more than half the people in the LT that stood up to air their views were "critisizing" and countering the points I raised, even titay leh! oh menz... I think I look like a perfect punching bag for people lah... bah

Then shall now write about today! Hahaz... the considerably more interesting day for me in the entire week. After the miserable physics test, 304 headed for our free period. Spent the time in canteen trying to crap up something for my forensic science homework *argh*. Then I went to the math noticeboard to check my results for SMO, and lo and behold, guess what I found there?

SMO Senior: Bronze (11)

SMO Open: Bronze (8)

OH. MY. GOD. and I was like, not expecting anything from this year's SMO at all lor! Considering the fact that I didn't prepare for it at all, and that my standards are detiorating by the moment, I think this is really an achievement. XD Wheee... but muz aim higher next year. I muz b like dom, get a gold for senior!!! *concentrates hard*. NUS High junior ranking is 4th, while Senior ranking is 16th (lousy. i think CHS score is even better lar XD). Erm, Open Section rankings, forget it. Shan't say anything, ok? =) And whoopee! My dad has given me 50 bucks apiece for each bronze I got this year! Get a chance to treat myself to something really really special. =D Anyway... DOM GOT GOLD! 31 POINTS! KAOZ... I wanna dieeeee... *whee*

Teachers' Day concert!!! W00tZ! IT SO ROXXORZ! There was the guess the teacher contest, where we guessed who the teacher was based on either their baby photos or certain fun facts which we don't know about; the school was like guessing mr wee for every single one of the photos that came up la, but too bad, none of them are mr wee's *aww*. Then there were several fantastic performances put up, like the Chinese cross-talk by yingzhen and jingxuan, english cross-talk by me and LY, choir performance with "invited guests" like tian cheng and chin pin, CO performance by nic wong and greg, and the DANCE by dance club! WOW! Hahahaz... oh, must not forget jensen's stint to be a singer too! w00tz, probably the next nushs idol? XD Cakes and souveniors were distributed to all the teachers, and we viewed a very very interesting documentary directed by alex, regarding the canteen uncle! *phew* it is COOL, and I mean it! Hahahaz... a 10/10 stars production. =)

Then bball cca. Yay, mr yang taught us the elbow guard move!!! wheeeee... now can start using it to nudge people! XD Alex got himself injured from the elbow guard because he didn't defend himself properly, the poor guy... lolz!

SL meeting, and then headed home. Been slacking from 8 to 12midnight... I am really tired. I wanna sleep now, nitee...

And to embrace the mid-semestral break. XP

film project

Hahahaz... today was damned slack again *and with tests next week? that's badddd*. Bah damnit. =( I feel like strangling myself man... must get down to work now man! Hahaz...

Sent my sis to nushs for the rocket class for the last time, and went to play bball. then reico, grace, and yeelyn came over to do filming. As thejas wasn't around to act for their group, they "invited" me to replace thejas in the film! Wow, hahaz... so fun (when my own filming project isn't done yet o.0)! Read through reico's entire script; what on earth are the chances that you will find a guy that has 3 crushes at one go, and one of the crushes involves a guy?! 0.0 my god... *faints*. Reico, u seriously rock dude.

Math oly training. Handled log today, and man, i really am slipping in standards. I could not manage many of the questions in the exercise!!! Had to copy off dom and leslie's work... sheesh. I really must concentrate. Felt sleepy as usual *bah*

Then went for lunch at Macs and back in sch at 2pm to do film project with charm and clement. Took in total 1 1/4 hrs (too long. cld hav been shorter if more stuff was prepared before hand). to be honest, it is the most amatuer-ish films that I have ever seen!!! WAHAHAHA... but nevertheless, we got it all done! *and i was totally nerdy in that film man. hahaz, missed those "glory" days of nerdiness =)*

Came back home and was gaming on starcraft for 2hrs. Freaking last mission for Terran campaign was irritating me like crap. Feeling so down now... haha, but nvm, there's always tmr, the day after, the day after next, etc... XD And effectively wasted all the time in which I was supposed to be concentrating on my chem practical... -.-"

Anyway, muz stop now and resume work. Hahaz... *listening to starcraft theme musics.* dunno what's gotten over me, I seem to be going back to enjoy the old classics again XP

Long time no Blog!

Wahh... muz have been really really busy over the past few days... didn't even get a chance to blog at all!!! ARGH! Terrible terrible! Now my blog looks sooooooo dead! >.< Hahahaz... well, now that it's friday again, I get to do a little bit of updating then! lolz... most probably for the entire of next week, I will not be able to blog, and the chances of me staying online to chat is minimal, considering the number of tests that are coming up for us *sigh*. Let me count: Physics, Biology, Chinese, English... bah, plus the homework due this week like the chem and bio prac reports... etc etc. GAH, I feel insanity taking over me soon! XD Must... work... hard. Once the upcoming storm subsides, I get to enjoy (and do more work) during the Sept holidays! LEVEL CAMP IS SO GONNA ROCK TOO!!! =D

A lil bit about today: Went to sch in morning to check out the council room door. Whoa, those ppl that were "trapped" in the room the other day really did a cool job with the door man... Cld see the fine line splitting vertically through the door. Eugene was saying something about him yanking the thing and it would just collapse. Made me so worried, but now I know that the extent of the damage is NOT THAT BAD la... haha. But still, it gets really sickening to see that crack there... >.<

Had early morning council meeting. Turns out less ppl turned up than when I sent the last min sms to inform them to come early on thursday's meeting. Hahaz... next time hor, muz entrust me to do the contacting stuff la. I may not be able to do it fast, but as long as I remember it (99%), I make my uptmost efforts to ensure everyone makes it... haha. I hope. =) Discussed the teachers' Day stuffies, and arranged to meet after cca to do *ahem ahem* the stuff.

Lessons began. Chemistry double period. *almost slept. but cld still barely hang on*. I dun believe it, I forgot all the hybridisation stuff he taught the previous lesson! GAH, sheesh... muz read up before entering each lesson man... bah. =( Then I got free period. Went to do up the Fleming portion of Teachers' Day banner. 2 more colours added. Now it looks more presentable (more than the faraday one la at least XD) yepz! Lolz...

Had lunch, then went to LT for briefing on Teachers' Day celebrations and Level Camp stuff (student leaders' discussion). Yipee! I am sooooooooo looking forward to the level camp I tell you, it's so gonna ROXXORZ BIG TIME! woohoO! XP

After that went for chinese class, with zhuo lao shi looking as moody and sad as usual. This has been dragging on for the entire week already, and it seems like it's getting from bad to worse! Gah... I am really worried for the poor guy. How is it that our chinese class muz b that unappreciative of his work? The amount of effort he puts in and all!!! Sheesh... my sympathy all goes out to him. =( Then later went for campfire MC auditions with yingzhen! Oh man... the "judges" are so hard to convince!! >.< Wahahaha... but I think yingzhen and I still managed to pull thru... =D Hope we get the position!

bball training then. As tiring as usual la... haha. But nevertheless fun. Dunno why, long didn't come today (sad. bball without him screeching his "long" shot isn't fun at all), hahhaa... then after that went to look for charmaine to do filming. She cldn't film then, cuz she has other matters to attend to. So our filming is to be taken place tmr at sch at 2pm. 2PM!!! can you believe it?! argh. So went back to play bball with liyoung *titay*, jy, brandy, and johnathan chan (jonjon). Was pwning *yea right* with LY until josh and a group of other year 3s came to join the game. Became totally outsted liao la... *sobs*. Very very tired man, my legs felt like giving way any moment lor! Sigh... then later on, sky came over and - asked - me and LY to go to the council room immediately to do teachers' day stuff... haha sure. Why not? He sounded like so displeased seeing us sitting there enjoying bball, when we were supposed to be in the council room doing stuff. And the sarcastic remarks just came one. after. the. other... BAH. wadeva. when he left, he didn't even call nat to go up to the council room as well la! wad the hell... so much for doing things as a council righttt? Anyway, LY and I got nat to follow us, as we went to do the stuff. Was rather frustrated by that time already, so did some of the work in the council room, then left at 6.05pm. titay wanted to stay to finish his share of the work, so I had to leave him behind... as I walked to the MRT with eugene, jonjon, brandy, and jy. ARGH. Feeling extremely annoyed and pissed.

Back home, I have been gaming nonstop on starcraft la... wahahahhaa. siao right? XD wheeeeeee spasticated. o.0

Omg. I am almost sleeping on the keyboard now! I better go catch some sleep now, until the next post! (which may take another century to form)

NOTE. Post is written on 20/8, but written to 19/8 perspective. =D

saturday

wahahahaha! SATURDAY!!! YAY YAY! XD wanna slackslackslack! Hee hee... but cannot. me too guai-kia-ish to be able to slack without a guilty conscience. -.- Will do my history homework later... *4 SEQs! sheesh* But for now, it's blogging!

Let's see, gone to school today at 9am to send my sis for the physics rocket enrichment module. Today, nus high is holding a competition open to all schools in Singapore to participate in, regarding the launching of rockets! I believe that my sis muz hav been so excited, cuz I think she's spent like... 1 1/4 months preparing *dreading* for this? Hahaha...

Whoa, got to school and found the entire place damn packed with people. Fellow nushs schmates, parents, students from other schools, etc etc... all packed into the canteen!!! wa sheesh, damn crowded sia. Never experienced a saturday where our school canteen is that crowded lorr... sigh. Anyway, didn't feel like doing homework so early in the day, in a place so packed, so I went to borrow nat's old ball from the council room, and moved off to the bball court to practise what I've learnt yesterday during cca. Jump shots, layups, doing hookers under the basket, and spinning!!! XD hahaha...was all alone at the bball court playing with myself, until suddenly....

3 guys and 2 girls from naval base sec (muz be here for rocket competition) walked over to the bball court and asked if I wanted to play 2 v 2 with them.

OK fine la, just another few guys here to play ball, how bad can tt get?

VERY. >.<

One guy, his 3 point shots are like, 50-50 chance of going in, and another guy is like underbasket king, *beats reico* and 99% of his shots under the basket all went in lehz!!! WA KAOZ... and the last guy even better, his dribbling is even more pro than what I saw nat do *omg*, and his layups anyhow do oso can go in lorr!! sheesh... feeling totally pwned by them liao *sigh* lolz... maybe I see the other bballers in sch play match with them (students from other schs) and see how it would turn out. Hopefully not another thrashing like last time... =( Hahaz...

Was sweating all over by the time I stopped playing a full hour later. Watched the rocket competition for a while, as I was cooling down from the bball game. At 11.30am I went for the Olympiad class. BAH. FELL ASLEEP while Dr Chua was teaching lorr! How spasticated. -.- damnit. =D But when the time came for me to do the exercises, I was like all awake now! Whee! Had some difficulty with the qns as usual, so hadda seek help from "da mastas", lei2 and dom. Hey, ya guys rox sia! XP

After class was dead hungry, so was eating chicken rice in my mum's car on the way home... *gobble gobble. musta looked like a pig while i ate ><* And now I have slacked about 3 hrs plus liao...

I MUST STOP IT NOW!!! WORK TIME! *ciaoz*

bball rocks as usual

wahahahahhaa... yay, today got bball cca!!! w00tz! tts the only thing I've been looking forward to for this entire week! and now it's finally come!!! Wheeeee! so funfunfun! =D

but by the end of the training, I was like, super super tired lor. The final stretch of physical conditioning was totally killing me >.< bah... must work harder for bball! If even this kinda simple thing oso cannot take, how the hell am I gonna survive when a tougher, more stringent coach comes in?! Sighh... ah well.

Followed fishie, rashidah, and feli home by the MRT. Just found out that fishie's "lao3 gong1" is feli (or izzit lao3 po2? BAH. irritating =) ). o.0 hahahz... how weird. nvm, I am sure fishie's fellow *not-so* secret admirers would not mind her having feli as spouse la... XD LOL... nearly died of lameness by fishie and feli on MRT. good gosh, I must bring along a pail next time *winkwink* hahaz... =D

and i dun believe it. My chinese speaking habit is spreading all over me. for some weird reason, using english to converse now is not... "natural". haha... ok fine. I mix the 2 languages k? Singaporean style XP wahahahhahah!!!

Shall end post here la, since I becoming too lazy to blog. hahaz...

speaking more chinese...

late night bloggings again. really must cut down, lest I lose valuable sleep! yea, and my dad ain't very pleased with me having late nights during weekdays too... sigh.

Anyway, just made a very curious observation today. I seem to be... speaking more chinese than usual!!! o.0 Hmm, I dunno if tts a gd thing or not, but i can feel my very mother tongue seeping into me and infusing itself within my language, like some long lost buddy I have known for years. Hahaz, amusing yes, but I really can sense it with every word that I speak... and that's COOL. *i repeat COOL*. Speaking chinese makes me feel great, just as it is great to be able to acknowledge the fact that I AM A CHINESE by RACE. In short, I feel some very special affinity for chinese language, one reason being that it's my mother tongue, and another being that it's a culture nurtured within me for the past 8 years in CHS. Yes. I owe it all to CHS... =D Whee!!!

Hmm... but why has this spirit of speaking chinese come back to me again, despite the fact tt I have dissociated myself from the Catholic High spirit for more than half a year already? Perhaps, that I do feel more sense of belonging to CHS than I do to NUSHS, against the fact that I hold quite a couple of key positions within the school and all. Or, it could be me being tired of speaking english all day long in school to frens that seem to treat chinese like an alien subject liddat. Gah, it disturbs me deeply... for some weird unknown reason. Is it just me, or am I unknowningly trying to promote a more chinese culture in this school? Interesting...

Nevertheless, I shall press on. No matter what the response in this school would be, I do hope to find more people catching on with speaking chinese language, and yes, I owe it all to zhuo lao shi, for giving me such inspiration for chinese language during his classes!!! =D zhuo lao shi, u rock! XD

P.S: on a side note, i realised i like swearing in dialect for the past few weeks.... hmmz, must learn to pick up more words. XP

NOT TRUE

bah. blogging so late today, and there's sch tomorrow. argh, not fun, the national day hols end so quickly sia... irritating. >< But nvm, I shan't complain, cuz there's forensic science tmr (MR SOH ROX) and most probably bball after 6pm! Yayyay, shall take up the lesson dealt by jy's frens back to sch *the crushing defeat*, and hope it helps me improve my bball with time! =D Hahahaz...

Anyway, shall make things short for today:

In the past few days, there have been a couple of rumours going around about me, that hasn't been... to my liking. They, for some reason, have been running amok in school and it is seriously irritating me. No, it isn't about my ego, neither is it whether I cheated in tests or house competition (yea, like I got spine to cheat), but as usual.... it's the usual *wink*. Bah. And it is not funny. I do not like it a single bit, and I'd appreciate it if the stupid git spreading it would just STOP IT. Cuz it is not productive, and you'd be better off building a rumour for yourself and quit probing into other people's lives, whether they concern you or not. So yes, I mean it. BEAT IT. I don't want this god-damned rumour to continue anymore...

I repeat: WE ARE NOT TOGETHER. AND WE NEVER WERE. *grits teeth*

The git tts doing this, you know who you are, so yea, just shut ur mouth would you, before things turn nasty for you as well... *evil grin* Do not think I do not know what's going up in tt wicked twisted mind of urs...

Anyway, finished bitching about him. Errm, holda sec. I don't think this qualifies as bitching, and mostly girls bitch, not guys. So... argh, wadeva. I am sick and tired of this bullshit. What should I call this, hmm... ah yes, ventilating! =)

Looking forward to return to school tmr... bball rox on!!! XD

On a side note, I am currently feeling my conscience torn apart, from whichever unknown force of the universe that's causing my pain... Hmm, I shouldn't think too much. Let nature take it's course, for I am not big enough to take control of it, yet. (the above lines are absolutely nonsensical crap that has come out of my rapidly degenerating mind)

Singapore's Birthday

Ohohohoh, I must say this before I forget it... lol! *lame*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! YOU ARE 40 YEARS OLD!!!

wahahahaha... ok done. Now, people cannot accuse me that I have forgotten today's national day, lolz... recently have become very very forgetful (forgetting to do hw is one clear cut sign. perhaps it is laziness on my part to think la XD). Hahahaz, National Day! WHee!!! XD

now, abit abt today i think: woke up uber early (at 7am. considering it is a public holiday, it IS EARLY) and left home for boon lay mrt. I was going there to meet kenwei at 10am, and the 2 of us join jiayu to go play bball with her pri sch classmates. Yay, bball's funfunfun! Hahahaha... don't believe it, I arrived too early, abt one hour earlier to be exact, lol *mad*. So I decided to take a morning stroll at nearby Jurong Point. Haha... no wonder jy goes there every weekend; there's like, so much stuff in there lor! 2 marts, plus john little, harvey norman, ZONE X (DDR!!!), Golden Village, plus dunno how many shops selling food and clothing! Hahaha.. shopper's paradise if u ask me. I feel so sad for J8 now... but nvm, J8 forever remains my favourite mall! wo3 de4 di4 pan2 mar... XD XD XD wheee! Anyway, met up with kenwei at 9.30. and we went back to JP to go arcade, cuz kenwei wants to DDR *as usual*. Whew... now i get why he's so bloody addicted to that video game o.0 Hahaha... he's pretty cool on his feet too. literally =)

10am came, so ken and i followed jy to the bball court near her hse to play ball. Met nic yeo and the rest of jy's pri sch classmates there, and we began bball. Omg, there were like, these 2 sec 1 guys that were as tall as ken and I (taller than ken to be exact), and also bigger build than us lor!!! ARGH, play bball with them feel so totally noobed-out. Been pwned like shit lor, hahaha... but nvm la. After all, the best thing about being a noob is that even if you get beaten, you won't feel the pinch of defeat much! Hahaha... no siree! Anyway, kenwei and I have always expected defeat when we started a match with them. Lolz, my side had me, kenwei, jy and her other 2 girl pri schmates, plus this short but pro guy called martin. But still, we kenna outgunned la... haha, the other team got all guys leh, and the girls not helping to play much bball too. Most of the work was done by martin, me and kenwei. Hmm, but ken most of the time was standing round like a lamppost too la... LOL *no offence k, ken? =)* Ah well, maybe it's true that the nushs bball team is not as gd as bballers from other schools la, sigh... sad.

Played till abt 12, then kenwei left. Was left there stoning and watching the others play ball before I left subsequently. Went back home to thomson plaza to have lunch at KFC before returning home... On the way, I smsed too much till my dying hp went flat, hahaha!

Later on, still need to go to grannie's hse to celebrate National Day (which in our lingo, means to go to her hse to watch the national day programme on tv la). I got no idea what I will be doing there larr... maybe just sit there and stone? XD

Today: Defeat

Starting this post with a tone of deepest regret and despair; of course, most of ya reading this would know why... hahaz *sadly*.

Let's be straight shall we? Fleming's got 4th... again. *sigh*

A little bit about today: INTER-HOUSE TRACK EVENTS!!! w00t! finally, some nice crackdown on da track! XD Wahahaha... it seems that more people are enthu abt this compared to boring crap like the X-country (which fleming miraculously got 1st, luck). Hahahaz... so, we had the national day celebrations 1st, which was so NOT fun at all, cuz it was conducted only as a compulsory form of NE *national education. ergh* and required for all schs in Singapore. Sigh... what a waste of time, lol. But nevertheless, it gave us the extra time needed for the track to dry up a little yea? hahaz...

*********************************************

NOTE: the below 3 paragraphs is mostly meant for the fleming members to read at. For members of other hses, I am afraid to say that it is rather... irrelevant to your cause. Unless of course you wanna poke me again and accuse me of my overly big egoness for writing this. *winkwink*

So the events began to roll by: Mei Ying didn't come! *gah*, so there was a little bit of last minute confusion, which resulted in one of our 100m B div girls position being forfeited. >.< Haha, but anyway, still pretty fine. I have to say that Fleming girls did try their uptmost best in the competitions! Yang Xuan managed to bag trophies home for both her events, jin zhi did her 400m... with style *wink*, and of coz, our B div relay girls have done it again, losing only to the faras (yeayea, we all kno addy is too pro liao... XD go faras!!!)...

Of coz, we cannot forget those runners that did not win anything, but have still put in, what I believe, is their uptmost efforts in the race, like our guys (guys, I want you to know, that y'all are not losers. have faith, and trust in yourself), and the C girls relay, which I know have put in alot of their heart and soul in preparing for this big day, but yet still failed to meet their goal. (gals, u know who you are. just wanna congratulate you for the amt of effort y'all have put in =) ) In short, I wanna thank all the members of Fleming for everything they have contributed to the house that makes what it is today! Hahaz... without you, fleming would not have gotten this far..... *sigh*. We may have lost, but I am sure, that one day, we will rise again and become a fierce force to be reckoned with!

Yes, one last thing Fleming. We may be down, we may be out, but that doesn't mean that the other houses have seen the last of us! Mark my words, with support from ya guys & gals (of fleming), we will definitely make a comeback! XP

*********************************************

Ok. fleming propaganda over. Y'all from other hses can open ur eyes now... =). I apologise if these stuff are too sensitive for you, but I am sure that my house members would appreciate it. *but if you don't, just tell me*

Ahhz. so Fleming got 4th. And yes, Fibo IS CHAMP! Wow... for being the smallest house in NUSHS, i must admit that it was no mean feat that they have made it this far! I wanna congratulate all fibo members too for their remarkable performance, especially the runners. Ya guys were awesome! And of course, we must not forget the forever outstanding cheerleaders of FIBO!!! w00tz, as much as I used to bear personal grudge against the team (no offence), I must admit that they really put up a fabulous show today. Congrats to you guys, and may your cheerleading team forever outshine those that... err, how shld i put it, "try to copy your moves". Heard about some tussle about other hse members ripping you off? hmm... anyway. =)

To nobel: ahhz, you guys are undoubtedly one of the highly favourite houses to win this year's inter-house events. Again, I shall send my congratulations to all of you, especially the Nobel captains Charmaine and Mikel. May the Nobellian spirit be with you always...

To faras: yepyep. I see your house is indeed on the rise... you will go very far, as my foresight tells me. I mentioned to thejas before, that Faraday has IMMENSE potential, and that ya guys will indeed traverse great distances in future. Keep it up, and dun disappoint the hope I have for you guys... =)

To flemings (again): DON'T EVER GIVE UP FIGHTING! As the saying once goes (i think ms flo herself told me), that there's only one way where our house can go, and that is... up. =D

Ahhz... so there we go! The House events are finally ALL OVER!!! Whee! Now, I can fully concentrate on the serious affairs of the Students' Council... unless of course, there are long term plans which I (or other fleming members) intend to set off on for Fleming. sounds far-fetched, but who knows? We shall just await... for the next year! =)

Interesting. I am no longer sliming other houses on my blog! I have kept my promise to tiancheng now! I hope he's seeing this... lol XD Does this mean - unless the signs are failing me again just as I failed in my prediction of the champion house *i thought the faras wld stand a gd chance to become champ* - that my ego is deflating already? Sure, it may be slow and hard to come, but I sure feel it coming! Hope it will help me return to a normal "ego" again in time to come, but not compromising my house spirit and determination for Fleming to be champ of course! =) Go ego GO! *deflating*

Moving on to after hse activities: felt really down and out, but was soon back to normal as I stepped out of school. Although I was still wearing my house T-shirt, bearing the blue symbol that is branded "loser" today, I didn't feel much remorse or any disappointment *which is a good thing, as most people I have met as I got out of sch didn't balantly insult fleming*. Hahaz... which is good, as I always became a very sour grape whenever my house lost. =) hahaha! Anyway, followed the year 1s out for lunch at macs *it feels good to be 13 again. XD*. It's so fun being with them, hahahaz... I can feel it. =) Perhaps it is their spasticness, their immaturity, or even their lameness, but nevertheless, I feel to have a special affinity with my juniors... haha, something I think that not every year 3 in NUSHS has =). Call me paedophile, or wadeva, but I forever wanna feel 13... =) Until of coz, I really really outgrow that age...... which may take a long longggggg time!

After that was supposed to follow jy to go watch movie, but she didn't seem very interested in going, as there were very few ppl tagging along with her, hahaz, so in the end, I decided to hit the dirt road as I followed nic yeo all the way to McRitchie's Treetop Walk!!! Whoaa.... trekked in total almost 8-10km!!! HAHAHAA... must have been the longest distance I hiked in the forested area in one afternoon... LOL! Of course, we went there to visit... the team that mr soh and ms seah set out with to do the bio project thingy... =) (actually, to be more specific, nic went there to visit one very very special person. shan't divulge who. =D)

Returned home at around 3.30pm, dead tired, and drenched in sweat, dirt, and muck. But the day's events have proven very meaningful for me. This may just be one of the most meaningful national day celebrations I ever had! (of course, I ain't refering to the propaganda stuff of our nation singapore). XD XD XD.

Once again, gratz to EVERYONE IN NUSHS!

runrunrun!

running... running... running. whoa, becoming an obsession in school now *besides cheerleading* lolz! I suppose everyone's pretty anxious on how this sports day is gonna turn out, and so am I *like duh. no need to say*. Hahaha... but whatever the case, whether Fleming gets 1st, or last, I will still move on... hopefully? *considers*

gogogogo! Haha... I better hope that I dun make a fool of myself by dropping the baton for 16*200m... argh!

Oh, I really hope I get a chance to enjoy this year's national day. So far, I haven't got much homework for this holiday (tts if you exclude the long term projects I have la), and with this holiday, I can get that *not-so* well earned break from studies.. lol! But I know I surely will squander it away like nobody's biz again... sigh. How pathetic I am. Perhaps I should devote more time to bball (I think my dad will slaughter me if I say this openly).

One last thing before I end this super short (okay. short) post: If you happen to be reading my blog, just leave a tag behind k? Or do I look like I am sounding too demanding? XD Hahaha... oh, and if u dun mind, leave ur name too! =) Anonymity is... okay. But of coz, it wld leave me in suspense and doesn't add to constructivity on the tagboard. Err, hold it. Since when were tagboards built to be constructive?! LOL...

Bored. Weekends again

Ahhz, here comes the time where the weekend has arrived. Last time when I was in CHS, it used to be the days of slack and day-dream, staring into the sky and stars... But NOT ANYMORE, considering how much homework I have been getting every weekend these days... lol. Even blogging is a pain for me now, hahaha. But hmm, cld also possibly be the drying out of my brain juice... feeling my intelligence detiorating ever since my ego was going down the drain with it. LOL. But anyway... anything to help get rid of that sickening shit, hahahahha!

Yay, joined in the bball training for once today! 1st step complete. Now, all tt remains, is to prove my worth in the bball cca... won't come today, tmr, or the next few weeks la, but I am sure it will come soon with perseverence... *prays hard*. Nat's pretty nice to me; doesn't treat me like an outsider at all! Hahaha, can't say much for the others though. I suppose I have yet to earn their respect or something, haha!

Sorted out the relay runners for Fleming today! Phew, really shld have put more emphasis on the training sia... seems that relay isn't as ez a job as what i thought it to be... hmmz, challenging. Anyway, gonna have to make a couple of last min changes *uhoh, ms lee not gonna be very happy with me already... LOL*

oh, ms norizan didn't allow me to switch over to bball this year. she said must wait till next year then change cca... but wadda heck, I will still go for bball cca anyway. Since I have my goals set on joining it next year, why not get assimilated with the squad 1st, then formally join them next year? after all, it's not tt i have been very... productive, at choir anyway... sigh.

*cross fingered* go runners of fleming.... run for the Victory! =)

Ditch my ego now....

sigh, I can't believe that I am starting my blog post today with a sigh... hmmz, I am rather disturbed these past few days, due to the fact that my ego's been becoming more of a hindrance than help. In the past, I always had thick enough skin to maintain this ultra huge ego of mine in front of fellow frens and classmates, but now, it seems that it has grown too big for me to sustain within myself any longer...

I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS FRIGGING IRRITATING ULTRA HUGE EGO. ONCE. AND. FOR. ALL...

sigh. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. I'm SICK of all this. Why must it be the thing that I am proud of that is now making my life difficult? And no, it isn't the massive spikes that have been trying to burst my ego, but the tiny, sharp pins that have pierced little holes in my heart and deflating it slowly... and painfully.

I want this to end, and now. But something's stopping me. Why, because I cannot see where I have been going wrong!!! I've been too used to this kinda life for too long, and it has grown to become part of me, thus I find it such a pain to seek it out and uproot it from me... Haiz, the longer this drags, the more this ego of mine's gonna hurt......

Right now, I need a mirror, a reflector, a screen, anything, that will help me see the light and correct me in my ways. I am sure I will find this person soon, and hopefully in time, my ego will become that of any other person again... sigh.

*my ego sounds like a tumor*

Save me, someone. pls...

Sportsmanship

boredboredbored... sigh. Seems like I have nothing better to do for the past few days. As much as I feel relieved with the lull of hw, I feel pretty much guilty at the same time. I better not spend too much time blogging today, cuz there might have been a little something here and there that I might have left out... somehow =S

Anyway. I only have one word to post on my blog today, and that is:

SPORTSMANSHIP
Reason: pretty obvious huh, with National Day celebrations and Inter-house track meet coming up... hahaha.
Oh, one last note to all Fleming members reading my blog: No matter what happens on the 8th of August, NEVER INSULT OTHER HOUSES DIRECTLY. I repeat, NO INSULTS! Hahaha... if other ppl hurling insults hor, tell me. I go errm... "confront", their house captains, haha. Must see to it that they stick to their word in upholding sportsmanship in nushs inter-house activities... Lolz!

My Overbloated Ego

Today, I have only 3 words to declare since I have to go to sleep soon. They are:

MY OVERBLOATED EGO
Hahahahahahaz... can't say it has been of much good for me. Come to think of it. It might even have brought me more harm than what I have asked for *as if I will as for any -.-* lol. Hmm... I gotta bad feeling that there are many people around me that simply cannot stand my ultra big ego, and that's been, well, affecting my social "life". Should I get rid of this damned thing once and for all, before (like what a nicenice fren has told me) it becomes too late to change? *thinks*
I think I will... after National Day! XD
End (super short crap. this is)

Monday, August 01, 2005

haven't been blogging. why? HOMEWORK...

omgomgomg... i juz realised that I have not touched my blog AT ALL over the weekend!!! ARGH sheesh, so much for me wanting to blog everyday... *or at least once every alternate day*. Well, there can be only one simple reason why I haven't been blogging over the weekend... and that is: HOMEWORK!!! GAH.

Well, just picture this:
  • Physics Lab report (typed out)
  • Physics theory homework (you kno how much I hate physics do ya? so boooooring)
  • Math homework: exponential and logarithm
  • History homework (to be exact, it ain't count, cuz I did it in school today =) )
  • Slack slack slack!!! *argh. ain't helping*

Ahhz well... it's no wonder I had been too busy over the weekend, let alone set aside some time to blog! lolz... yea. But nvm la, what matters now is that... I have finished large portions of my work already! Now, all I need to do is wait for it to accumulate to breaking point again *jking*. Haha, anyway, back to blog!

I dun find today very interesting. Come to think of it, my life for the past few days has been boring. Too boring. Haizz... so well, I think I blog abt it oso wasted la, haha. So forget it. Shall discuss something else, hmm... what to talk about, hmmmmmmm...

Oh, did you know, I seem to be having this weird habit of doing homework that is due much later 1st, instead of focusing on those that are supposed to be handed in tmr. Hahaz... take for instance, the chemistry homework from textbook was given to us (304) last monday, and I finished it on that night, when it was supposed to be due like, this friday or something? Haha... not convincing enough? Another example then... log assignment 4 hasn't been taught yet, but I have done it over the weekend. And the last example is probably the ultimate one... physics theory homework set 2 is due only on friday, and set 3 is due on NEXT monday... but I do all over one weekend, leaving history undone that is supposed to be handed in today!!! -.- LOL. Weird I am yes, but I dun care. Somehow being able to finish my homework early provides me satisfaction... XD

But strange, there are days when I come back home, knowing that I have left no homework undone, and that the night is all free for me to dedicate to my "personal" activities or non-academic activities (ie. slacking, etc), but yet I dun feel relaxed. Oh sure, I do get that moment of light-headedness whenever I get home in such a situation, but after a good washup and a little bit of rest, I soon find myself sunken into moodiness and guilt. Is there something that I have forgotten to do? Something I left unaccomplished? Or is it a small task that I have been constantly shrugging off and evading it? I got no idea... but whatever it is, this mood hasn't been helping me very much, and it somehow affects the way I have been behaving in school... How does it, I am not very clear either, but in any case, I better find the root of my problems asap, before my grades start to hit the slide.... =( (I seem to be giving myself more and more pressure by the minute, but hahaz, hey, if I dun give myself that pressure, who would?)

Ahhz. My strange habit. Good? Bad? I leave you guys to figure. But for one thing, I think most of you reading this are thinking that I must be... *siao*, mad, psycho, mental, blah blah blah... If that's the case, I think I would be right to think that you are a slacker-ish kind then? XD

Oh, I just had a sudden weird thought... it's about my house, the leadership, and me. I...... arh, shall reserve the comment for now. I think this ain't the appropriate time to bring up such a matter. Perhaps I will come back to this thought after National Day, just to give myself more time to... think. =)

Hmm, I think I am letting my thoughts drift around too aimlessly already. It is a bad habit to cultivate whenever I am practising writing, because it shows sloppiness on my part in writing my day entry on my blog, hahahahaz. So, I shall just round up here for now, and resume to clear up the remaining little bits of homework I have left here and there (most of it wld be chinese. bah). So cya guys!

-------

Oh btw... I didn't realise so many of you guys out there know that my sister is coming to NUSHS. And better still, some of you even know her name!!! Hmmz... really interesting, I wonder who has been out there spreading the news around besides myself, lol. She was really shocked at the "reception" she got when she came to nushs today with my parents to pick me up: People waving at her, saying hi to her, and calling her by name too! HAhahaz... I bet she didn't much of such things when she's in st. nicks... heh!
