Went to Moor appreciation ceremony yesterday and today, went for rj opening ceremony.

Moor dinner was ... how would i put it ... rather memorable. We did the batch gift and from ilman , jon & i, really tks to samjo, ccc and alan for all ur efforts... Personally, the doing of all the individual collages was really fun. The making of collages brought back fond memories of everyone ... but i guess it would be easy for u to figure out for those with nothing at all ... u (a) hv nothing to b remembered about or (b) have done nothing worthwhile for the house or (c) when u did something worthwhile, i din bring a camera. Of course, there shud b special mention to both nash and samjo for their constant taking of photos (a rather good job i muz say ... though sam jo ... besides camera ... please get away from vcrs ... tvs etc ... haha ... jk jk) and basically tt explains y i haf a lack of fotos for the both of them (at least until samjo sent me some) ... but all in all, it has been fun doing those collages. If u want ur individual collages drop me a mail, msg, tag, wtv ... i send them to u lor ...

Dinner was great. We all tried to make it as light-hearted as possible but at any point of time, if i hv made any insensitive comments ... i m really sorry ... (actually... it doesnt matter at all i think ... they all not around ... haha). But after yesterday, i decided to stop poking my nose into all these organizing events etc. i will support them, i will give them help when they ask for it. But for everything, when it is time to let go, maybe u really hv to. I was really thankful when my seniors never pestered me to get things going, they never questioned on anything we do ... and i guess this is the space that every leader needs to be able to develop to his fullest. It is time to move on. To move on to bigger things. The bigger things that the JC can offer you. So i guess the collage will be the very last thing.

Talking about JC, yep, went to rj opening ceremony today. The sound system was really terrible so we never really did hear wat the people up there were telling us. But I tell u, rj is lyke so humongous. I m really looking forward to school there. I hope i can continue to do so after first 3 months ... i really do hope so. But somehow, i feel that rj doesnt give one the kind of homely and cozy feeling that ri gave us in our 4 yrs there. But maybe it is just the time spent. Like mrs koh says, give it more time. Yep, it is all up to us isnt it? It is all in the mind i guess. Well spending 3 months (and hopefully, 2 years) there ... i m sure i will enjoy myself there :)

P sch gathering 2ml ... and then i will try my best to send u guys all the fotos real quick

Anywae ... i juz realised, tt there r ppl out there hu end their entries with songs, and some with quotes ... so this time, i will end my blog with some pieces of news worthy of the title that stuck to me for the past 2 years. Go ask any 4J guy ... they would noe ... haha

Ok ... i leave u with a piece of news here. to protect the identity of the lady, because she is a teacher and bob may very well chance upon this, we shall call her nhh in this news article

NHH begins OPERATION PROCREATION

It seems like teachers have recently been extra bonuses or something seeing how there has been many of them pregnant now. News has it that, most recently, NHH, who has been known for her plans to respond to the government's call to procreate since 3 years ago, has recently launched her plans to procreate. Having taken leave today (how convenient! ... staff meeting then pontan ... ok ... abit of unprofessional here ... will go on) to visit KK hospital, Mrs Ng, in an sms interview said, "I'll be taking no pay leave for 3 mths! Yes, to procreate!" Having informed her that her former form class wishes her best of luck, she wished her former form class best of luck in looking for a girl next year. We wish you all the best, Mrs Ng. The government will of course look forward to great news from you!

And that's all, ladies and gentlemen. Btw, i smsed her abt something i left in her pigeonhole and tt's y there was the 'sms interview' ... haha.

Cheerios!

it's the last week of hols

Went thru many boring days. Christmas was absolutely boring (not tt i celebrate it anywae ...) and spent eve in school.

M still bored now, having attempted to clear my room over the past few days.

Sigh.

O wells. Doubt the next few days will be as boring ... starting 2ml ... moor appreciation ceremony, followed by p sch gathering, then new yr eve ... going out wif family and then celebrating new yr wif fellow debaters (tentatively) and on 2nd ... my dad insists we support spore at the spore-myanmar match. But i really dun want to go. o wells.

school's starting! good or bad?

ok ... feeling really lazy ... so cant really be bothered to do part 2 to the previous entry. In a nutshell, i juz realised tt last monday wasnt as boring as mentioned. i actually did a student perception survey for the graduating classes. (so here's a reminder to all u guys out there to do it) ... questioned ripb and lack on emphasis on clubs & societies, as well as house system. It was generally like anyone of my typical rants ... except i tried ( I REALLY DID) to be polite. Azizul sent me his replies ... and wow ... i was really impressed. But i guess they should appreciate our comments. i juz hope this is one survey they will really and seriously act on.

Ok... to summarise part 2 (wat i had intended to write) ... tuesday, went home, pleasently surprised to have received a letter informing me i got this EAGLES award, which until now, i haf no idea hu nominated for, but the money that came with it will DEFINITELY come in handy.

Then spent lyke 4 days in Msia, 3 in genting and 1 in KL ... basically shopped, took the haunted house adventure, watched PETER PAN (the musical) and then went to the theme park. Had enough of queuing ... basically life there is juz queue, wait and then u do wtv u had intended. Even the way home was jammed and at tt time i was itching to noe my posting results ... (which i stupidly din get any1 to help me check coz i tot u needed tt blardy letter sch gave - ie the pin code and somehow i din noe where i placed it) ... yea so wait i did. came home and entered the site 1st thing i went home. Kinda pleased i got wat i wanted ... but it's only for first 3 mths ... seriously damn scared of englis ... BAD COMPO ...

Went thru another uneventful week. going to school 2ml. Any1 need more diaries? Going on sale. haha. suhas planning debate gathering! yay!

Merry christmas in advance every1!

Hello every1! Yep .... i m back ... after a real eventful week. U c, i hv stopped blogging for more than a week for several reasons - the first being - the past 1 week has really been, well, eventful, and the 2nd being, i hv been really bz and tired. haha. really cliche excuses if u were to ask me. haha. In other words, I was juz being lazy

Fine. I shall cut the crap and go straight to the point ... i mean ... the week.

Of course, it started wif an as per normal, uneventful Monday (juz like today) and then on to tuesday where it was the 2A gathering. U see, i really m extremely lazy, so i shall juz kope an entire entry from Sam Jo's blog detailing events happening tt day, adding in some personal opinions myself. (i m afraid tt i wld get sued, so i decided to do everything cheryl yap tot, quoting and all)

OK, so here goes, a rather long entry on Sam Jo's part. Wif input from me in pink.

'woo hoo today was fun! well at least the long anticipated 2A gathering happened... (personally, when less than 1/2 the class turns up, it hardly can be called a gathering)
jonK and zee came early to my house before we crossed over the road to cavendish park. and my my the place was rather posh i must say, with the roman statues and architecture. the three of us helped ms kelly aka mrs chan unload the styrofoam boxes of cooked and uncooked food. we took awhile carrying those out to the barbecue pit before realizing we actually needed someone who knew what barbecue was all about (which basically left both ms kelly and I to attempt to set up the bbq pit) ...haha so at 1215 or so the three of us walked by the long and winding canal. at dover mrt only 10 more people turned up so we formed the 13 people entourage, ready to conquer the lands of cavendish. along the way i realized my new shoe-sandals had given my naked feet blisters. darn i knew i shldve worn socks :P haha in the name of fashion, i sacrificed two limbs...lol but really i was excited that my whole outfit really matched from top to bottom. even the underwear was brown! ok nvm...but isnt orange a cool colour? isnt it isnt it? alan wore his orange hot pants today...again! and then nash did his diesel long sleeve....again!

yeah so we reached there and somehow the fire got started by junyi and roland (correction ... it really was ms kelly) beforehand...so we started cooking. there were chicken wings, chicken wings, and more chicken wings. of course the lazy ones like me attacked the cooked egg noodles and garlic bread first. (while i gave up cooking after a while and left cooking to the experts in the likes of jx, roland & ben) after a while the satay came stick by stick...and yeah we were full before long. but get this, due to the rather poor turn up, we had like three half boxes full of food left. i saw prawns! *gasp* corn! *yum* stingray! *wow* fish! *slurp!* all buried in ice. around the barbecue area everyone stood around talking, eating, chatting, laughing, gossiping, drinking, and occasionally taking scandalous photoshots of each other. there was the fruit tart one (which i sportingly agreed to do wif sam jo), the sausage one (phallic innuendo fully intended by junxiang and junyi ... seriously, it wasnt my idea. But scandalous, it really was ... SAM JO, ZEE, GIVE ME THE PICTURES! of course, jonk needs to keep up to his image and totally refused to do any, even so wif u-noe-hu)...and then nash and ben cai were obsessed and obviously delusory with adamantium skewers (claws)... hmmm i guess after some time we went in to play table tennis....woo hooo nash and i were south korea, glen and ccc china, david and hongyun indonesia, alan and julio vietnam...mwhahaha obviously i wasnt getting any better but it was grreat fun anw. indonesia shocked the world by thrashing china 11-4, and the latter proved worthy by making a stunning comeback after striking all three rival nations off the table. (all this happened while i felt sorry for all the yummy food out there while the fire was almost out, and so i decided to make the best out of wat we haf and started putting my cutlinary skills to test in Ms Kelly's kitchen together wif JonK & zee. With them not helping much but continually questioning my skills and with jonK almost puking when he caught the smell coming from the pot of boiling prawns. Then there was the buttered corn tt ended up juz boiled and jonK took eons to complete the small piece of corn given to him to sample. ryan came and started fagging around, with the details to gory to be mentioned, but yea ... it was more of bitching about everything ... from the prawns to the corn to the cutlery that i used. thankfully the 3 of them left to bring the prawns down for the rest ... which ended up uneaten and thrown away ... contrary to popular belief, i wasn't really disappointed, or dismayed, for they din really look appetizing to me. At least, not as appetizing as that of those i ate at home or in some fancy restaurant) it was when i decided to go outside to wash my feet that i saw ms kelly messing around alone at the pit. it seems that she wanted to start the fire going so that we could cook another round. i mean, yeah with that amount of food left they HAD to be cooked. so guess what it was greatly hilarious when both of us, deprived of solid fuel, started tearing up newspaper and fanning the coals with plastic plates. one by one the matches were used up and in the end we just gave up. the darn coals werent smoldering enough. how disappointing. all that trouble...in vain! oh well after which we went up to her house...which i gathered junyi, zee, and jonK were there boiling prawns. by the time we went up there only junyi was left, with the corn. i tried one and was it raw or was it overcooked i didnt know. (yep, i was left all alone in her house and my hp batt went flat, so when ms kelly attempted to call me, i guess she was really worried tt i left wif half her belongings gone ... haha ... thankfully, samjo was of a better help than 3 of the rest put together, so we juz spent eons getting the corn to be finally cooked) it was hard though...so later ms kelly went back down and junyi and i continued boiling the corn. boil boil boil and toil. then we got bored we walked abt (ok ssssshhhhh ms kelly cannot know abt this!) and yeah sorta explored. but we didnt do anything to invade privacy lah (of course we did not, going only as far as to take a look at the rather nice pics she had framed and stopping short at entering any of her rooms, and the worse thing we did was merely to use her house phone to contact certain people)...as miss lindsay boobjob lohan once sang..."will you please respect my privacy"...(dunno why that silly song was ringing in our heads the whole day) then we got more bored and decided to play a prank call on ryan su. ahem...details too unbecoming to be discussed here. (of course, he hung up when i went to the break up part, fully aware later it was me, haha ... maybe coz he noes his darling never ever does it to him) then we called on mrs its-my-dog's-birthday ng hoon2. it seems she was at home, unaware where the reunion was and under the impression that it was brutally cancelled. haha...u shldve seen junyi reacting to her statements of defence.(oh, of course it is me doing the typical responses and accusations of her purposely avoiding us and questioning all her motives, screaming BLASHEMOUS at her and making her feeling of so very guilty ... she claimed she tot it was cancelled ... so i responded by saying tt she dun noe me well ... tt nothing i do wld b cancelled wif such simplicity, there wld b some big fanfare wif me apologising to every single one and providing this long email ... which she sort of felt was somewat true... haha ... but knowing all of us ... really, little ill intentions involved) oh well, i guess she promised to treat some of us after we get our results so....so she's still getting a diary from junyi? (well ... i guess so, after all, she did say to count myself in for the treat ... haha ... wif me worrying tt i would b lyke traumatised after the whole thing if i lyke fail english wif the horrible essay on uniforms tt i haf written) when we finally cooked the stubborn corn and buttered them miserably, on the way down we met kelly and gang on their way up. i had an eaten corn sutffed in my mouth it was like so caught-in-the-act. haha. oh well...so when we went back we found the barbecue pit to be incredibly clean, undoubtedly the hardwork of the rest who went back up. unfortunately for junyi, his prawns were dumped. we saw it in the dustbin it was just so outrageously comical. like nobody could eat it. (the corns thankfully were more appreciated, wif only 3-4 pieces left at the end of the whole thing) at that time some other guys were up to soccer so junyi and i just waded in the baby pool. haha quite reminiscent of cheng chai and i wading in the pool of country grandeur (gosh has it become my habit?) anw that was until junyi tried to get me wet....-_-haha when everyone gathered it was time to pack up and leave. i got my goat from ryan so i must thank him for giving us something all the way from vietnam. (following 2002 2A gathering, i gave out diaries again, with everything fully gone by the time we dispersed ... and the ever non-appreciative jonK saying 'I OWE HIM A DIARY' ... and then me lambasting him telling him tt i dont owe any1 anything and i give ppl things coz i feel like, not coz i NEED to ... haha ....guess it was typical me ... haha. then of course, some asked if they could have it every yr, i din really reply, but if those hu asked r reading this, 2 things: (1) if i continue meeting up wif u and remaining in contact wif u, yes [to give me some hints, u may want to lyke call me out for lunch, tea and/or dinner lyke near the end of the yr, haha] and (2) pure and simple, if my dad continues producing them)

well so that was the gathering as it was. plain and simple. a peaceful windy day i must say. thankful it didnt rain. as we took the last picture together, our only regret was that not everyone was there...'

Of course, sam jo din join us for dinner, but a few of us went for dinner after tt, and mugger jonk went to buy an A lvl bio textbook to mug coz u-noe-hu has really already started.

So that was really tuesday in a nutshell. And being trained the way i always am, i do a mental debrief. was it a success? was it necessary? I guess, it really wasnt (contrary to wat some tot) a full moor comm gathering, for there were guys lyke julio & hongyun, but the numbers werent really impressive. I cant help asking myself, y really, do i bother. When 1/2 the class doesnt bother at all, can it even be called a reunion? Do they even appreciate Ms Kelly's efforts? The most appalling thing of all is that some ppl contacted prior to the gathering showed pure disinterest, providing explanations like 'too lazy' ... or 'cant b bothered' ... it really is ppl lyke these tt pisses the hell out of me. Forget it. Maybe i shouldnt bother. Yet, u always get heartened by ppl hu remain true to their former class, asking for a gathering all all. Maybe as time passes, we should juz plan a gathering for the select few. Maybe it is so much easier tt way. becoz this r the select few tt really r interested.

Nevertheless, allow me to take this opportunity to really thank those who made it to the gathering, the few ppl (sam jo, jonk, zee) for going down early to help out, really appreciate it, and of course Ms Kelly, for she planned the whole thing and we merely helped out a little ... i hope i din miss any1 out.

I m only until tuesday ... and haha, i do haf a few more days to cover...

TO BE CONTINUED ...

Sigh. Somehow U really dun haf the discipline or the motivation to blog these hols. Simply put, people either (a) don't blog anymore or (b) blog so extremely short entries.

Nevertheless, i winded up blogging again. haha

Monday came. Was moor gathering. Pleasantly surprised tt it WASNT the official appreciation dinner. But touched all the same. But nevertheless, i really tot tt the juniors n seniors shouldnt b so blatantly segregated. Muz mix more wat ... ok, ok, maybe it is our fault. Maybe they tot we wanted it tt way. Haha. WAS EVEN MORE SURPRISED... when we din get dunked. Maybe we din want to get dunked, but we wanted to dunk THEM, it's called counter-attack u c ... but coz they din make the 1st move, we tot maybe they DIDNT intend to do it after all ... haha ... it is all abt intent isnt it? (so i learnt lyke last week from sawachu) okie ...

Went to sch on tues, and spent the week working on some big project tt only certain ppl will noe abt (top secret) so hv been kept rather bz. Otherwise watching some taiwanese, korean & jap dramas ... tt i guess i wouldnt hv watched if it wasnt post Os ... o well. i do realise they can b quite interesting ... and rather addictive ... haha .... but it's lyke reading books ... how tasteless u still read on ... for the sake of the blardy ending (which at most times end up to b some stupid cliche ones).

M working on details for 2A reunion. It really is nice to have a get-together (officially) after all the hassle of Os ... o well ... 2A dudes, see u there! Tuesday, 12.30 pm, dover.

Went to watch the ri-ac frenlies yesterday. Not supposed to divulge anything. No comment either. (the last time some1 criticised debaters on her blog, she was lambasted, and became a big talking pt in the debating circuit) ... but i would say... for the debate i watched ... it wasnt anything very bad. (i was watching my juniors anywae ...) ... anywae ... SAWACHU!

i think i m sneezing ... SAWA ... SAWA ... SAWACHOOOOO! (okie ... this is an internal joke)

Ok ... I feel rather guilty for i havent really blogged in ages ... But the past few days, how do i put it, have been rather ... well-spent i guess.

for a few days i have been slogging out at my dad's office to earn some cash and pay back debts that i somehow created over the past few weeks (esp for grad dinner) ... but nvm about tt ...

for the next few weeks will be attending several school-based functions. But am apparently rather short of cash ... sigh ... nvm ... i shall prey on the innocent ... and force them to pay for my meals and all ... OK ... JUZ KIDDING.

Went to 4J chalet on thursday ... and it is a rather good experience. Though i had hoped more ppl turned up and tt the bbq did go as planned, nevertheless i won't say tt the entire day was a waste of time. Met Navjote more than 1/2 hour late (as usual) before Navjote successfully convinced me to play pool with cbq, blim, marcus & co. I was apprehensive, since like always i m not exactly very good in games ... esp stuff involving BALLS. nevertheless, somehow, i muz admit those guys have a knack for convincing ppl to join them and so i did give in in the end. marcus & blim were really good, though ironically, they were the ones underaged ... (ie 16th bdae not here yet). Pool admittedly was quite fun. Haha. Though marcus & blim were the ones mostly shooting the balls in (is tt the correct term? ... haha) ... haha. Then went back to the chalet to say hi to the rest and spent the rest of the afternoon slacking while some went east coast. went to marina south for buffet dinner and waited so freaking long for the boody bus ... amidst the freaking rain ... talk about dampening the mood. We were supposed to either bowl or play pool after tt, but u noe buffets ... they can really drag on for 2-3 hours ... of course wif self-proclaimed king of prawns JX consuming, gluttoning and ... swallowing 50 prawns ... boiled or buttered. So went home after tt ...

2ml's there's the moor appreciation dinner ... looking forward to it. Definitely beats slacking at home or slogging in an office. 5 pm, bishan interchange, for those (MOOR COMM MEMBERS) tt somehow have not been informed about it.

Juz went to do my subject combi for the rj thingy ... applied for math, bio, chem, econs. Tt is provided i do make it to rj science. tag away if u happen to share the same combi!
