Hmmm ... i am actually feeling pleased ...
yeah ... it's the hols FINALLY. Guess to some ppl it doesnt really matter coz they either spend their whole life mugging or whole life fooling around ... but for me at least, it's a break ...

Got my progress report juz yesterday ... at least i m making progress :) ... gotta work hard still ... sigh ... a long, long way to go ...

Am actually looking forward to our celebratory dinner at ri poolside ... o yeah, venue dont sound so fantastic, but nonetheless, a treat's a treat and so suhas u shud stop complaining man ...

Time seems to past so fast ... am stepping down REAL soon and i guess tt it is really these times tt u reflect ur term as a leader ... forever thinking tt there must b more tt u can do ... sigh ... got tons of reports and documentation to do over the hols ... and guess all these GREAT ... and i mean GREAT memories will flow back ...

Havent exactly thought thru hu will succeed me ... in wtv posts i m holding now ... and shudder to even put some thought into it ... still looking for ppl of high capabilities to fill my shoes (call it ego ... but ask anyone ... my shoes r hard to fill --> Not tt it is pretty big though) ... and of course every single one out there seems to b lacking the X FACTOR ... o well ... guess the time will haf to come and we, together wif the teachers, will choose the people (though more or less i haf an inkling it will b an one-sided affair) ... and o ... whether they die or survive nxt yr will not b much of my business ... though i may shed a tear or 2 if i actually do c all our hard work built up over the yrs thrown down the drain ...

haha ... after spending so much effort in wat i do ... i actually realise tt i DO love wat i m doing ... i guess it will really take a while for me to get used to a life of COMPLETE mugging without all the planning and reports to do ...

but for now, it's still time for me to indulge myself in all the work tt i got to do ... and i m actually pleased ...

sigh ... signing into blogspot to put in my entries can b such a drag ... seriously ... i type my username and password lyke god noes how many times and then i manage to enter ... wat a turnoff ...

anywae ... has been a pretty busy period of time since i last blogged ... and m of course looking forward to the hols. yeah muz go back to sch ... but still a few days extra of not going to sch definitely is something to look forward to ... (call me desperate ... but o yes, i DO need a break)

well, founder's day was last sat ... pretty mundane stuff (coz i wasnt winning anything) ... but o yeah ... the mcs for the parade were fantastic :P (no prize for guessing hu tt is) ... but other than tt was reading thru the entire booklet time and again from front to back and then back to front thruout the entire indoor ceremony ...

common test for eng will b this wed ... hope i do well ... and o lord freaking relative velocity test is on thurs ... i bet i gonna die for this test ... well ... as for cca matters, i m left wif hse cip and all the aesthetics comp till july so i guess i still gotta work ...

haf decided i will not go for the staff sarge test ... they can dont promote me for all i care ... those ppl (actually ... tt ONE person) is full of crap ... shant b bothered man ...

anywae ... tt's all i got to say ... will blog sometime this week ... another time ... ASSUMING i do haf the time...

whoa ... has been quite some time since i last blogged ... and mayb it is juz me ... but this time ... i m juz pissed.

i really dun noe wat's wrong wif my dad (ok ... auyong has a prob agst his mum ... and me agst my dad ... so wat nxt?) ... but seriously ... he thinks tt i shouldnt spend too much time - or rather none at all - on my house, my debates ... except my npcc ... which he calls my 'core' ... and is pissed i m a mere sergeant rather than a staff sergeant O GAWD ...

he thinks i shud spend more CONSCIENTIOUS time on my studies... *snort* snort* wat can i say? he thinks tt since debates is over and since common test (which he somehow has the idea IS prelims) is coming, i shud step down from my vice-captaincy ASAP ... lolz ... i m speechless ... so this is it huh? NO responsibility, NO pride in watever u do, and all ur life u jus mug, and mug, and mug. If he knew i had a blog i would moz prob juz b banned from the net for life or sumthing ...

fuck lar ... juz cant b bothered man ... i do wat i want ... and it is pretty obvious tt i would noe how to prioritise wat i do ... hasnt it been always the case? juz give me more freedom, space and flexibility man ... i would noe wat i haf to do ... no way would i risk my studies ... juz tt i want to finish wat i left undone first man ... BUT WOULD HE UNDERSTAND?! ... never ... and will of course not in the near future ...

well ... enough of being pissed ... y risk getting an earlier death ...

well ... anywae past few days haf been pretty funky ...

Watched Sing to the Dawn ... nice, interesting play ... Well done guys! and ORA ... lol ... din really make my day, but hey ... was a break from living in the 'high-security' place man ... got some1 pissed unknowingly at the carnival ... well ... shant say who and wat but sorry anywae (seriously doubt if she reads) ... :)

This week went fine (so far) YAY! got 28/30 for a math test i hardly studied for :D ... and am emceeing the outdoor segment for founders' day after all ...

Looking forward to the last few weeks of term 2 ... swimming carnival is on this sat ... i think MOOR will win! and then there will b founders' day ... pretty eventful last couple of weeks to 'look forward' to ... and o well ... i juz need a break REAL soon ...

to my teammates ... i noe i said i will put up my tribute sometime this week ... but looks lyke time is real tight ... will finish it (hopefully) real soon ... within june hols maybe? ...

okie dokie ... got physics test 2ml ... needa mug now ... byez!

sigh.

for the god knows how many times this week, someone asked me wat i do when i get home ... guess tt it is getting more and more rampant since i now get to go home early, and no longer do i need to reach home at 8 ... 9 ... and then rush thru my homework ...

Well ... human nature IS tt of curiosity wat ... nvm ... u could say i haf no life ... yeah ... i dun play comp games, my knowledge of games r close to zero ... well so wat do i really do? do i really haf a choice? sigh ... every small thing my dad threatens ... i guess i gotta make do wif watching tv ... blogging and all ... yeah ... of course ... MUGGING ... and of course, u really seldom see the fruits of such 'mugging' ... -admittedly, i need to add some more interesting stuff in my life ... ha ... but really, i dun seem to care for now ...

sigh.

will not b emceeing founder's day after all ... guess i really m not good enough ... think rich seet and some other guy got it ... nvm ... u cant really do well i guess, if u r abt to haf el oral in 10 mins & u r rushing for time ... gotta go out on founder's day wif suhas for 'cca display' ... lol

sigh.

o well ... 2ml's npcc day... will wear my uniform, i haf decided - provided it doesnt stink since it is still in my bag for lyke - 1 month? gotta go sing to the dawn too ... and sat is my promotion test to staff sergeant ... this is a joke ... i havent been coming for training and i haf forgotten all - AND I MEAN ALL - my drills .... haha ... but lyke auyong put it ... i will -never say die- and try my best tho i will most prob fail ... :p

sigh.

Chanced upon michael thng's and alexis' blog ... obviously fri debates were still fresh (being the most recent) on their blog ... and they obviously feel tt ac shud haf won ... heck ... admittedly, it was close ... but i think u cant really get far wif inconsistencies and late rebuttals ... shant delve into the nitty-gritty ... coz wat matters for me is ... WE WON!:D though i really think it isnt nice of some guy to call himself 'auspicium melioris aevi' and make some cocky remarks at michael's comments page

sigh.

got to noe from shang tt we wun get $6k for winning after all. it is $800 instead ... and all goes to the club. -heck- not tt we were in it for money ... but if the juniors r not going to appreciate it and still treat debating as a second priority to them ... then i think the money shouldnt b given to the club FOR them ney ... nvm ... shall keep my comments to myself ... haha ... and got the scoresheets 2dae ... did pretty ok i guess :D

... looking forward to sing to the dawn 2ml ... yeah ... maybe it will brighten up my life ... :D

O gawd ... got back my hcl mid yrs 2dae ... and yeah ... i think my future is bleak ... i freaking failed my paper 2 ... wat a bad day! tests in alternate periods .... el (which i had less time for since there was deb8 mtg b4 tt) ... bio (which was ok ... but u never noe) and lastly chem ... which of course gives one little appetite to haf lunch ... it was disgustingly cheem and i guess i gonna fail tt damned test ... wat a shame ... my season has ended and i screw up a test ... o dear ... my future is and LOOKS bleak ... gotta mug more ...

<screwed>

anywae ... was blog surfing again ... and found auyong's and ajit's blog to b a tribute to debaters again ...

from ajit to me u've also been a great inspiration for me. not only do we work together in debates but for moor house as well. well now that debate season is over, let's focus on bringing moor up to that illustrious first place or at least second. it's been great working with u n suhas in the exco n i sure hope to debate alongside u again soon [in jc perhaps] haha ... hmmm ... ok ... nice working wif u too ...

from auyong to me my thanks go out to you man. dun say i dun acknowledge your efforts ah, cos my career as a debater was kickstarted by you. if you had not chosen me for moor house debates, i wouldn't have become the debater that i am today. jun yi, your self-esteem seems too low. seriously, you're prob the best 1st prop around *the best first prop who can write his own case that is* i respect you for your workaholic, never-say-die attitude. you are as impt to the team as suhas or shang, so never feel inferior. you're be fondly rememebred as the vice-chair that rocks our socks. you truly earned that trophy man. =) well ... wat can i say? ur achievements thus far is more of ur own hard work, talent and deligence. My role in it is only discovering the potential in u ... and if u r thanking me for this small role tt i play ... then no prob ... i look forward to finding similar talents in the up-and-coming interhouse deb8s. low self esteem ... i dont understand how u would consider some1 wif low self esteem ... and no ... i m not the best 1st prop around ... easily ... shang can be ... and in many other schools ... such ppl do exist too ... but anyway ... tks for showering me wif such nice comments :D

well ... halfway thru the week liao ... miz trg wif all u debaters ... lol ... when will i follow wat auyong, nav or ajit has done? i guess will do it sometime this week or next ... i really haf lots to say to u guys too wat's more wif the season having ended ... juz tt now's not the time ... trying hard to fit into the post-season studying and mugging ...

o well ... house meeting gonna b nxt week ... gotta prepare again and then math test's 2ml .... gotta practise ...

sigh ... until then byez!

Wow ... a couple of days passed and i still cant get over the win ... can't help it ... my first ever win ...
Navjote just made it worse by paying a tribute to chens and the other 9 in the 2 teams ...

'Jun Yi - Jun yi... from the first time i met u in my first debates trng, to now...itz been soooo great to noe u. ur always this guy ready to have fun yet noe when itz time to get down and serious. u always have this determination about u, to want it, to achieve it. and in the end, u deserve the jgs trophy. for all the hard work and effort uve put in. for the times we ve spent as a team. man, ur seriously soooo damn impt to the team. without a jun yi in the team i seriously doubt that the team cld even have gotten to the quaters. itz been seriously great to noe u and ur a fren ill never wanna lose. oh and great uve agreed to ur deal and set up ur blog... if i forget to link u make sure u remind me k...'

... hmmm ... really touched ... but was i really tt impt to the team? ... I dun think so ... a team consists of 5 - or if navjote wants to put it 10 ... and i dun think i was the most impt person in the team ... wat pulled us thru ultimately is the determination, cooperation and teamwork ... i wouldnt have been as determined if my teammates themselves did not want the shield as badly. every debate - and i mean every single one of them - was and still is a learning experience for us. Nevertheless, thanks navjote for all tt u haf written about me ...

well ... i guess my tribute to my teammates and chens will come some time next week ... where i finally can think straight and can sit down properly to thank each and every 1 of u guys properly ... :D

On another note, feedback has been tt my blog dun look really nice ... well i dun deny ... helps from suhas, jx etc dun seem to work ... sigh ... my fault for not listening in my html lessons ... will try to pick up more stuff over the next couple of weeks ... and as for now ... i apologise ... u gotta bear wif this ugly-looking (whichever - looks r subjective) blog ...

:D

the previous post was done ... hmmm ... as a tryout ... as a test ... never knew tt creating a blog is so tiring and so difficult ... sigh ... yep i noe ... this blog isnt really very nice ... but hey ... at least i kept my promise ... :D ...

yesterday was ... well ... NERVE-WRECKING ... went home to sleep after sleeping at 1 the previous nite ... and followed the raffles debaters' tradition of being VERY late ... lol ...

well ... i guess tt i went to the debate wif mixed feelings ... There was this tinge of sadness, for as a team ... it is our last time together ... all the 3-4 months of training, playing, dining and debating together ... those moments were really memorable! tks for the memories guys! then ... it is also my last time debating in the ri blazer ... BUT OF COURSE ... there was this feeling of payback time on our part ... for shang ... tt's his first time debating in an english debate finals ... as for suhas and myself ... the memories from hc's were still fresh in our minds ... (i screwed up real bad tt time) ...
AND of course, there was the feeling of fear ... for we were afraid tt we would juz screw up and lose to our arch-rivals ...

sat out of the 3rd-4th placing to run thru rebuttals and all wif chens and then OFF we went to the grand finals ... support was excellent ... special tks to all of u guys hu came to support us (esp the teachers and team 2 - imran, auyong, zul, navjote, gautam) TKS A LOT! ...
Did an in my opinion decent 1st prop though i could haf done a lot better - took a poi from michael and so did shang and suhas ... wasnt it obvious after a while? ... lol
... and shang and suhas gave REALLY excellent speeches to swing the debate to us ... yay!

waiting for the results were nerve-wrecking ... julia gabriel juz made things worse for us wif all her thank yous and advice ... suhas was trembling like siao ... all of us were scared ... and it juz went on and on ... even suhas winning his best individual speaker din mean anything to him ... on tt note ... congrats to shang and suhas for being ranked!

Well ... i muz say nothing can describe my sentiments for MY FIRST GOLD FOR RAFFLES ... and i mean it ... to say tt i was (and still am) elated is most definitely an understatement ... how glad were we to see the school - the teachers, the supporters, our dear seniors and chens cheering and screaming in euphoria ... we r glad we haf done u guys proud man!

wat can i say? shang, suhas, terence, ajit ... each and everyone of u ... i was so glad tt i m part of this team ... to haf worked wif u guys ... u guys were a great bunch man! ... team 2 ... imran, navjote, zul, gautam and auyong ... u guys were great and haf been supporting us so much ... would not haf done so well w/o all ur support and enthusiasm ... auyong and terence ... u guys haf a long, long, way to go ... train hard and work hard ... do ur best and do the school proud next year ... the school and ur seniors will b behind u all the way! Of course ... tks a lot chens ... u haf really, really helped all of us a lot ...

suhas ... congrats on being the first male to ever win the best individual speaker and imran ... congrats on ur best floor speaker :D and of course ... shang for being ranked 6th ...

As i end my secondary school debating career ... at least i can look back at all the semi-finals ... all the finals ... and the one and MOST IMPORTANT - win ... with pride and happiness ...

Well ... i decided to do this real quick ... before those crazed debaters hound after me on not keeping my promise ... haha ... yep ...

I promised tt i would get a blog IF we win the JGs ... and guess wat? WE DID!!! haha ... yay! all the hard work has finally paid off!

Many ppl din expect me to have a blog ... well ... guess tt u cant judge a person from wat he does or seems to do ... While on one hand, i came up wif this blog to 'appease' certain ppl, i did this blog coz i felt tt the best way to express my gratitude to certain ppl and express my feelings after a win is thru this blog ...
Uh-huh ... and a blog is born :D
