okay, i'm now 70% sure i'm overreacting.

well, it's kinda natural to do that. i mean ppl usually jump into conclusions without any prior info and likewise, i do not know anything to safely conclude. being judgmental is a part of human emotions and i see it as sorta a natural reflex for the unforseen eg. changes in life. and with that comes the good old question: why? and that you start blaming yourself for it. which is that 30% there...

but still, one has still to question why...

i mean, you see that as time passed since last year arnd this month, things got more distant... there were convos, debates gym buddy, study buddy. wow, then it just became gym invites only. then it became gym invites with a third party aka repetitions of "ask joey". now since joey's gone it became silence. at most, convos became merely hi and bye.

he still talks to otehr ppl. not all i might add. he's ignoring a lot, but mostly still talk to some... hmmm... how odd... come to think of it, he only talks to the barker ppl + his church mates only.

he acts as if his phone is spoilt. he never replies me anymore, not even a 'no, sry im busy'. he expects me to know that without him saying. these are clues that show he avoiding me. but when i hear he's not replying to a lot of other ppl, i thought, hey, he's just a douche. but then some others say, he's replying me leh. so i thought, wow, he's an even bigger douche. but no, i keep telling myself he may have some problems he's not willing to expose...

sian. he's pimpling too fyi. if you're pimpling during the holidays you knw something is wrong. but of course, i'm not at liberty to do anything.

i'm really trying my best now to just back off. cuz i see no true solution past this stage. i wont say its gone case, but really nothing much can be done.... but it's really not helping if i keeep seeing him every weekend now, isnt it? it's like every day, i tell myself to be happy in my own solitude (i just learnt that word bwahaha) then he comes along and just push me back down. not literally of course. its like i see him and i suddenly rmb how tight we were and now its like gone. its the harshness of reality that hurts.

now he's gymming by himself. no need for partners. no need for assistance. i tried to help him just now when he seem troubled benching, but he said he got it, which was, in my mind, a big middle finger to fuck off.

wow, it's kinda hard to say now that though you may not need me anymore, i need you man. i need a gym buddy to push me. but more imptly, i need a friend. a friend who was there for me like you were. a friend who isnt jugdemental with my choices in life and supports me instead. a friend who know how to save a brother when he's falling down.

i'm really curios as to what happened and why is this happening...

with convos restricted to hi and bye, and with such raging history, i dont think i can ever have another h2h with him again. i can try talking, but i think he'll try his best to cut the convo short. what a douchebag.

but i mean srsly talking here, can u imagine that the awkwardness of that happenening? how would you react if someone tells you whatever i just said above? you'll most likely be speechless afterwhich you'll give the 'it's okay, blablabla' speech. how do you even initiate such a talk... 'hey man, can i talk to you? you see, i need you right now... blablabla' he'll be like 'wtf? why so random'. and how does it go afterwards? what if the talk doesnt end well? are you able do console the person afterwards? wont a hug make it even more awkward? and if it does end well though, how do you transition out of the h2h? i mean, the awkwardness will still be there... and esp since you'll be pretty much repeating your texts of which he's avoiding from, you'll just scare the person away....

sian. part of me still wanna try correct things though... :/

and no taylor, i do not wanna go 'back to december all the time' cause i had the worst month ever back then and revisiting it would be a nightmare, or many of them back to back...

i have a very apt song right now. it's currently my fav. <3 its called i need a doctor, by dr dre feat. eminem and skylar grey:

[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life

[Eminem]
I told the World one day I would pay it back
say it on tape, and lay it, record it
so that one day I could play it back
but I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
ya'll starting to creep in, everyday its so grey and black
hope, I just need a ray of that
cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
they just say its wack
they don't know what dope is
and I don't know if I was awake or asleep
when I wrote this,
all I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
you picked me up, breeding life in me
I owe my life to you
before the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
but it just dawned on me you lost a son
see this light in you, it's dark.
let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me
not the slightest clue
cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
you gon either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic
or you gon hug me
but I'm not an option, there's nothing else I can do cause...

[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life

[Eminem]
It hurts when I see you struggle
you come to me with ideas
you say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
cause the shit I hear is crazy
but your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
like I'm your leader
your supposed to fucking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
it was YOU, who believed in me
when everyone was telling you don't sign me
everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
you risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Dre, I'm crying in this booth
you saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
but I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
but I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake

[Chorus - Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life
bring me back to life
bring me back to life

(I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life)

[Dr Dre]
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
but I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
you walked in, yellow jump suit
whole room, cracked jokes
once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
went through friends, some of them I put on
but they just left, they said they was riding to the death
but where the fuck are they now
now that I need them, I don't see none of them
all I see is Slim
fuck all you fair-weather friends
all I need is him
fucking backstabbers
when the chips were down you just laughed at us
now you bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, faggots
you gon see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
you can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
little crack a jack beat making wack math,
backwards producers, I'm back bastards
one more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream Dre don't leave us like that man cause...

[Chorus- Skylar Grey]
I'm about to lose my mind
you've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life

see how the lyrics coincides with my life right now? ^^ but i have other great friends right now. i'm very thankful to those helping me out right now...

story of my life

2011-02-17T16:53:00.005+08:00

im a sad lonely boy. you think you can count on people, esp your friends to back to up and even catch your back whenever you fall. unfortunately i do not have such luxury. everyones too busy doing their own shit that their eq tends to fall behind. sure theres the comfort of texting or fb, but really, theres no true substitute for being physically present, you know lending your shoulder or even a friendly 'its okay, it'll be fine hug'. cuz most of the times if you dont feel like talking to anyone, you do appreciate them still being there for you right by your side.

its my bday today and its no different than any other day i suffered through since december. i cant count on anyone because they are srsly busy. i dont blame them. i should be busy too. just dont know why they havent reply to me as to when i'm starting my job. anyw, i want to count on them, but i guess its too much pressure. i mean, i alrd scared like 3 of them away.

and i cant help it really. being alone sucks, and whenever you ask for company, there will be this awkward feeling where i just want it to be a normal gathering between two parties and yet the other party sympathises you for some reason. and this awkwardness snowballs into feelings of guilt of which you regret, then apologize and then things get way way more awkward.

yes, this happened to one of them, i'm sure you know who. i'll just call the person b. see before all this, b and me were quite tight. you know, someone actually worth being there for you and helping whenever you're in trouble. b did that to me, multiple times in fact, and i thank thee. and its this kind of helpfulness that makes me more emotionally attached or even clingy, but may not necessarily be a good thing cause i lost all my independence...

but one tragic event made me rage at b, of which i truly regret immediately after that. i seeked help from 2 other helpful people, lets call them c and d. they told me to make amends. i did so with two bottles of rum. and make amends we did, just like that. not a single apology thrown from either parties, two bottles of alcohol was what made the difference. and i thought it ended there. but things got wierder between b and me. i didnt reliase it just last month, and this happened like last year before As i think... anyw, b started to feel really sian. and i, being stupid as i am, thought it was a phase and since b helped me out before, i thought i could repay the favour. but i couldnt. and it started to bug me out. i sent an apologetic text wondering if it was me and said if b could use a hand. no reply. after a while i reliased b started to distance himself away from me. i sent another apologetic text. and again, no reply.

by this time it was alrd post As. and with it being post As, youd expect parties, parties and more parties. all i got was post-prom, nothing, nothing and even more nothing. i got lonely. really lonely. my classmates got all attached and stuff, so i'm the only single guy left.

even during post-prom i was lonely. this i must tell. i got to the place with quoc. had dinner with him, which is good cause i wanna go in with a friend. then he left for his classmates after prom was over. so i just stoned at the lobby staring at people as they streamed in. the worst part is, no one noticed i was there alone and stoning. and it hurt. i saw the barker ppl having their fun. and i just stood back. kenneth noticed though. but really, could i even spoil the mood for a party by flushing ppl with my sorrows? no. the barker ppl just walked past me like i was invisible. not even a 'meet u upstairs man'... even those pseudo-malay girls emotionally stabbed me, i mean cmon, you ask me whats wrong, im halfway past my story you leave... i mean... WTF?!! bitches... i'll never forgive them for that. nevertheless, thank god one of my classmates came and i went in with him... i couldnt really rmb much what happened inside, but all i know is that i got super wasted somehow and at least the scones were nice enough to help. actually its more like take advantage of the situation, but i really dont care. i appreciate any form of company. i crashed their hotel room, but left early cuz i felt super weird there and not even kev or yw tried to make me feel part of the group. cuz why? i'm not.

so i was really banking on other people to guard my back. still nothing from them. nothing from b. nothing from c. only scams from d (fake invites for selfish reasons) even during postprom. i texted b, saying im feeling lonely and i wanted coompany. b replied. but after a while nothing changed. i texted again, then he kept quiet. until now, feb 17 2011. i can show my conversation list and its really one-sided.

i asked help from e. e told me that b is prob scared of you. its makes sense since im like on his case the whole time. then again it is possible that b's just scared of hurting me again hence the distancing. apparently b told the rest im unavailable or smthng which really exascerbates my loneliness and really makes me think that b's scared of me. even betrayal comes into mind often. i mean it hurts too when your friends are having fun without you, having fun when you're down in the dumps with no one.

things got slightly better in jan. i think. f came into the picture. and whenever i asked b something, b'll always reply 'ask f'. ALWAYS. but at least things are getting better, and i thought the future will be much brighter from then on. boy was i mistaken, now f is away in ns along with a majority of my bros and all i have left with are b, and the tension that arises when im around b. Now b doesnt even wanna talk to me anymore. I really dont know why, nor do i know what happened, but since 9th feb, it's december period all over. c,d,e all busy now. everytime i ask its the same answer 'NO!'... so whatup? im alone again... not cool. its not as easy as saying 'hey can you comfort me pls' cuz i scared off e from saying that too much. e told me to leave b alone. but that aint cool. you know somethings wrong. you wanna help. but you cant cuz you dont know whats wrong. in the end, guilt eats you up and it evolves into sorrow and eventually loneliness.

and yes, in case you have figured it out, i was crying thoughout this post. reality checks are very harsh indeed. b is officially not talking to me. im still trying to reconcile but for now, im following e's advice.

you'll never know how painful it is to lose your best friend for no apperant reason. you're lost, you need help. but there aint anyone available....

I MEAN CMON, ITS MY FUCKING BDAY AND U STILL HAVE NO BALLS TO SAY IT TO MY FACE THAT YOU NO LONGER WANT ME IN YOUR LIFE. AND FOR THE REST OF YOU ASSHOLES WHO KEEPS TELLING ME TO CHEER UP, DONT YOU THINK IM TRYING? IM IN THE STATE WHERE ANY FUCKING SHIT HAPPENS WILL EXASCERBATE MY LONELINESS AND ANGER. THANKS FOR CARING, BUT IF YOU REALLY CARED ABOUT ME, COME TO ME CUZ I REALLY DONT MIND A H2H TALK RIGHT NOW. ITS MY FUCKING BDAY AND PPL ARE STILL TOO BUSY AND SELFISH TO HELP... STOP SAYING NO DAMNIT...

happy birthday? pfft. what an irony there....

What is someone like you doin in a place like this?

2010-04-12T21:25:00.004+08:00

Photos speak more than a thousand words. So I'll post four of them.
Credit goes to my RJ friend's friend.

can u see the diff bw rj and us?
can u see how high it is?
can u see why i'm disappointed now?

something isnt right somehow. i thought we're a team...

2010-04-09T22:50:00.005+08:00

wow. i think i'm in seriously denial. to think that one year has gone past so fast that, although i hate admitting it, it's over. can't believe it's over. it can't be over though because it doesnt feel like it is. i'm in denial because i still dont want canoeing to be over. we gave in six out of our seven days a week for it and it can't just end like this. no, it can't.

i'm not satisfied with 5th and neither is anyone else. i want a second chance. i want a rematch. i want to row again without having the slightest thought that it's over. tbh, i dont really give a shit's ass about dragonboat. i signed up for canoeing, but i didnt thoroughly achieved what is to be achieved though the entire experience of canoeing.

i really want a second chance. i blame the illness both of us got at the last minute. and how did we get sick? it all leads back to njcc when we had to compete, badly if i might add, in the rain, which made us fall ill.

it's not enough and it never is. especially since the cca is at the brink of closing down, this is not the way to go. it's simply not fair.

tbh, i tried my best to cheer myself up after yesterday's defeats. 3 mcflurrys somehow did the trick, but i ensured myself to put others before me for the day, to give them the support they need to excel while i sit back behind. i ensured myself to be over it and to be happy for the others instead. but i guess it's just a failed facade i tried to put up. i got heavily influenced by the aura of depression by the rest.

the emo vibe is seriously contagious. that's something new i learnt today. guess it started with mark. he has a point though - how can people be fine by losing in heats when he himself is beating himself to dust when he lost in semis. i feel the same way. that theres simply something wrong with the entire picture.

the closest inexperienced ones to make it through were wy and hh. they're the only ones to make it to the finals, so our hopes are with them. they did good, but to them, not good enough. for me, not good enough either. they did the same mistakes me and jarrod did, opportunities wide open, yet did not cease them. because of that, the emo vibe darkens deeply.

i hate to admit it. but i guess my favourite quote to life applies here: 'life is all about the experience.' likewise, only the experienced rowers are the ones to obtain symbols of recognition for their hard work - medals, ncc signups and ac colours. what did WE get, merely things invisible; the materiality isn't there. teamwork? any team can have that. why is ours so special or different?

in fact, it's really not fair. something isnt right somehow. i thought we were a team. so why isn't the pride and glory from the experienced shared with the inexperienced? the truth is, the gap is still there. even from day one, it's there. it was just blurred until today. what the rest of us shared was merely depression.

something struck me hard today. someone said to some extent, that the key to double k4 gold is experience. it could have just been some bullshit flying around but it struck me. does this mean that the rest are destined to lose out in the other events because they're harder to win? what if, (i know i'm gonna get assrape commented on this) hypothetically, we were to turn the tables around, to break the k4 so that inexperienced gets a chance to shine in it while the experienced shine in the k2. wouldn't that make a more ideal situation where we can finally break into the top 4 categories and more people gets the recognition they truly deserve? of course, this does mean taking risks here and there but isn't the whole point of going through ccaab was to make us more daring to take such risks, even if our cca is at the brink of closing down.

gosh. the cab ride back to macritche was so depressing, and so was the dinner. i dont blame mark for not wanting to go for it after all these shit. i dont blame kevin either. i think both of them swallowed the most painful pills. so much hard work, for nothing. in the end, the inexperienced 10 went back home without anything. it was too sad.

swensens wont taste the same with defeat.

Lily Allen - Not Fair

it's not fair, and I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean, yes I think you're really mean
oh you're supposed to care, but you never make me scream
you never make me scream

oh it's not fair, and it's really not ok
it's really not ok, it's really not ok
oh you're supposed to care, but all you do is take
all you do is take

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

sigh, im feeling really disappointed with myself right now. i dont really know where to begin.

i guess what happened during nats these past few days really reflect my life in jc right now. so many opportunities which i let go. likewise, there were so many opportunities to make it through, but i failed... miserably.

not to put the blame on anyone, but its such a damn freaking waste. all our races, training wasted.

i really should have called for a last burst earlier, because of that, we got hit by a freaking bad back wash that slowed us down a lot. cant believe i 'gave up' too soon. the back wash was a wake up call. tried to push on harder but it was wasted as the boat ended up turning and shaking because of the wash. FUCK!

it really is a waste. damn. my ideal vision of getting straight finals wasted because of stupid mistakes. 1k and 500m. both, wasted. i knew that if the door to straight finals was open, might as well embrace it for the semis would be fucking hard. i was right. yet the opportunity slipped past we got kicked out of semis for both events.

and i really feel that i have failed terribly. like i should have done something else, but its too late. and theres no chance of redemption...

gah! someone just hug me already......

i'm sorry for having failed you man.

hey, slow it down....

2010-02-25T17:54:00.000+08:00

you know the feeling when you wish someone would care about you, much like some drama serial where any problem you have is evident to everyone around you. i'm not asking much, but i just want someones shoulder to rest on. its like your parents would never understand and most of your friends wont know fully whats going on and those who know are the ones affecting you, giving you all these problems. all you have is your bolster to hug, a locked room to isolate yourself, blankets to keep you warm, and an mp3 player to blast all the screamy emo songs in your head. i know i'm running away from my problems but i think it will stay here with me till i can correct my mistakes. tbh, i'm actually mad at myself. i'm mad that i'm super injury-prone and because of that, i'm not in school right now doing what is supposed to be done. i want some warmth. i wish for that warm hug when you embrace the one who understands you, cares about you and ultimately, can help you overcome these burdens....

whaddya want from me

Whaddya Want From Me
Adam Lambert

Hey,
Slow it down.
Whataya want from me,
Whataya want from me?
Yeah,
Im afraid.
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me?
There might have been a time when I would give myself away
Oh, once upon a time I didnt give a damn
But now,
Here we are
So, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

Just dont give up
Im working it out
Please dont give in
I wont let you down
It messed me up
Need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i've been thinking about this for quite some time now. i just realised that with nats being this close, and njcc even closer, we are still unprepared to race. in fact, i think unprepared is an understatement, we still have a loooong loooong way to go.

before this week, i was thinking, especially with cj asking us to write our reflections and stuff, i thought deep and hard on what we (me + jarrod) have done on a c2. in fact it was nothing much. tbh, it still is. if i were to rewind time back to scm, we're still uncoordinated, direction still haywire. now, it's still the same.

damn, if i could rewind time, i'd rewind it back all the way to last yr so that i'll be more serious.

back then during scm, jarrod died in front of me. after that, somehow or rather, one of us would die during training. be it sick, or orientation, or any other nonsense la. its sad. i thought about this really hard especially aft yesterday's awful mishaps. in my mind, it's like: there's no way this could happen to me now. competition's so close, yet we're so far. now i'm injured, and this uncoordinated partnership will just continue. i dislike this.

in fact all we need is time. time to recorrect mistakes. time to train more. unfortunately life isn't all that fair, contrary to what wy always says.

i look at the other c2 and was wondering, wow, they're on par with hadrian when they themselves had an uncoordinated partnership recently during scm period. had. in other words, not any more.

i'm not implying another jarrod. if u feel that way i'm truly sorry. i wrote on my reflections that we have a common goal which we had set not long before scm. in fact, we have an oath. and i'm very sure jarrod wrote the same thing cause cj had similar replies for both of us.

but frankly, i havent been taking the oath seriously. not a single bit actually, and i regretted it. its maybe one of the reasons why we're not working together well. we still have a long way to go. our direction is still a mess and it took me till yesterday to realise how horrendously awful it was and how much work we still need to put in.

wow, yesterday really opened my eyes. especially when we were labelled to be 'unprepared for the liangjin' when the other pair is prepared. in fact, they could possibly get a better boat. i'm not portraying prejudice here, i'm happy for them, yes. but when it comes to things like this, similarly for the k2s, there will be the others who will get the shorter end of the straw. and we're it. life's unfair and i now sorta feel dlim's pain slightly...

i agree though, we're not prepared. but its more that that, i'm mad at the fact that we arent'. maybe that's why i've been screaming much much.

my hearts breaking apart and so is my arm....

i'm sorry jarrod. i really feel like giving up right now. you may just see this as a bunch of words on your screen, but i'm actually crying right now...

i'm screwing everything up. we both used to on par with hadrian in our c1s yet when i'm in control, both of us couldnt keep up anymore. not saying i miss those days, but no, in fact, i miss those days. why cant we keep up with hadrian anymore? i'm seriously screwing both of us up. not only direction, it's everything.

i'm really really confused now... like idk... something that needs to be done but i dont know where to begin cause it's a lot... it's a lot...

Water Program: 6k technical rows with resistance
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Twice -> Once at 4.5k (my bad) and another stupid one at 5k (blame the wind)

Wow, I seriously can't tank lecture Tuesday. The only thing good about it is that there are no homework from lectures. Practically stoned during art & bio and slept during maths & chem. Wtf...

Training felt better. Maybe because the chartered bus was on time and we didn't launch past 5.10pm. It can still be earlier, yes, but it's still an improvement nonetheless.

Wei guo finally came! Yes! A coach! But too bad he didn't notice all of our strokes. Damn. =( The only comment I got today was not to come out of the boat (as usual) from Hadrian (as usual). I tried to work on it though, stretching forward instead of outwards. But each time I focused on that I tend to either J too strongly that direction will go haywire, or I'll hit Jarrod's ~~tight~~ ass. So it feels weird.

We have yet to plunge together though. But first thing first lah, I still need to work on my own plunge. I still need to learn to plunge before pulling my weight. There were a few successful attempts at this when I saw the C2 actually flying forwards after my plunge so I felt good momentarily. But there were also failed attempts, one of which caused the capsize at 4.5k =/ Sian. Gah! I need to learn to plunge slowly and effectively, ie. don't rush the stroke and splash a lot of water consecutively!!!

Other than that, I definitely felt better than yesterday. =D Especially Jarrod now recovers properly without dragging the boat again! Yay.

Orientation in 2 days though!! I'm so excited!!
And tmr's the posting results. Gambate!

Free food @ CPA FTW.

Water Training Log
Water Program: 4k out of 6k technical rows with(out) resistance
Boat: Boris C1
Capsizes: None

No more of this jabberwock. The bus screwed today's training BIG time. What shit company doesn't know how to differentiate 4.40 from 5.40. Like wtf? The worst part is that we still have to pay... Shitheads. The bus better not screw up for subsequent trainings.

Took a cab to macs at like 5 for water instead. Decided to use a boris instead cause the fast HC boris fella inspired me. Bad idea though, cause I ended up wasting my time in the water. Shitty strokes + failing to catch up to the HC rowers = PHAIL TRAINING imo.

Three things I need to focus on tmr:
(1) Twist more; less biceps
(2) Plunge; don't pull before proper set-up
(3) Thrust hips forward, not to the right

I guess (1) and (2) are connected, i mean, since I'm too prone to using my biceps, I used it to pull too early before a proper set-up. As for (3), I guess it's because I changed to a boris, so the lack of footrest made me shift my weight/kick to a different (and wrong) area. The kick wasn't so much on my kneeling thigh, but it was more on the other leg, so my hip kinda pops out there during each phail kick. =/

I guess it wasn't such a bad training... I mean, if it wasn't for today, I wouldn't have figured these things out... Haha.

70 more days. =3

I'm here for your entertainment....

2010-01-23T23:29:00.002+08:00

What happened in macritche or after that will remain a secret. Even though I myself wasnt there this morning, nonetheless, I hope none of this shit will happen again.

Was at CCAAB in the morning. Was late cause I chose to oversleep. And the workshop itself was... interesting I guess. I think Mr Lynn's jokes are the one keeping me awake.

MBTI, haha, Dlim = jarrod = sj. HAHAHA. Even better, WY = sancia = SWL = Yings. Lol. Dont know which ones better. xD

Anyways, conflict management, I cant believe Cliff told everyone there about the boy/girl divide, and Mr Lynn was being such an ass and a provoker... Lol. And crystal telling everyone off, it was sooo typical of her mbti type. Haha. Jarrod's response was still best though. Nonchalant turtle ftw.

OGL after that. Helped out with the skirts, then another talk by Mr Lynn... =.=" Diaoz...

Walk-in rehearsals, clan item practice, all damn fun and i really hope it will work out on the actual day! But the raffia skirts are damn itchy! Cant tank... But still... Haha. Guess I cant really spoil everything, so I'll skip to the vulcan dinner.

Isk got a 2nd birthday celebration, haha, lucky guy. And one fun part to dine with girls is that most of them will let you finish their food for them. xD Haha. And Avril being herself really made the night bimbotic... Lol.

Gah! Really wished I was at water today. Conflict management needs some serious application in this situation...

You better ring the alarm.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GENETICGYK.

Couldn't really remembered what happened yesterday, but I know I was damn bored during 100min GP doing the timed compre practice that me and trich started dancing the mass dance. =P Oh! Bio lab was fun too when you have to chop the leaf and 'wank' the test-tube with the leaf extract. Haha.

I recalled after school heading to a H3 Proteomics class, hoped I spelt that correctly, while waiting for YK's birthday dinner. It was interesting yet boring at the same time... But I know one thing though, I really need to revise my biomolecules notes. Lol.

Headed to the gym because I left my EZ-link card there, yeah it's a stupid rule that you have to surrender your card when entering the gym and yet some people just blissfully waltz in when the uncle's not at the counter. T.T Diaoz.... Anyways, those who were gymming obviously died, haha, even at the first ~~freaking half an hour~~ set, especially since no one was fully recovered after marathon, though WY have fresh muscles since he didn't row, but that doesn't really matter.

YK's dinner at Fish'n'Co.! Walao, damn ex leh... Cannot tank the price... But the seafood platter was surprisingly filling for me. And it was funny looking at Anthea's face when she saw the jews jewing the leftovers. Haha. Quoc even wanted to eat the cake we used to smash into YK's face, and of course in his ears. Haha. Happy 18th nonetheless!

Anyways, woke up early today because I had forgotten to design gloria's fire belt thingy, but my early wasn't early enough so I had to rush it in 10 mins, so it really looks like crap. Then I had to rush down to school to learn the Vulcan walk-in dance thing, which waws quite cool really. Pity the dancers were all ill. =/ Odd... Anyways I ended up just burning the edges of the belt thingy during my break to add that 'fire' effect. But it still looked like crap nonetheless.

Did 30 out of 100 pullups before school. Was too lazy, and not say we're not allowed to do so in uniform too, but heh....

Art. Learnt about this artist who apparently drew a sketch of a penis and ate it. Lol. He also made a cast of a tiger, which represents the might of the penis, on a rocking chair, to stimulate sex. Haha. So cool. We also learnt of Vincent Leow's controversial performance art piece where he drank his own urine, snipped off his pubic hair, placed them in an envelope and gave it to the audience, which caused performance art in Singapore to be banned to more than a decade. Haha. Another cool dude....

I guess that was the only interesting subject today. The other lectures (freaking 4 hours of them for 4 subjects! oh wells, at least there's no gp) were yawns... Maths, after the lecturer's weird intro to vectors, I fell partially asleep. Bio, woke up a bit cause the lecturer is damn scary. I expected her to target me somehow, and still, I got the answer correct by pure luck! Haha. Tyco. Chem, fell slightly crazier cause I was too bored that I started making sick jokes, like head-on overlap, and sms-ed kevin with crap even when there's a kao-peh teacher sitting behind me. HAHA.

Break before swim pe! Kevin cut his own middle finger, haha, LOSER. He tried to act emo and peeled off the 100plus bottle after seeing wl walking with george to the pool in their voda attire for filming that he cut himself by mistake. HAHAHAHA.

Their scene was interesting actually. They used the freaking lizard-ed and broken T2 and took the db paddles from the canteen for their props in the baby pool. Haha. They filmed everything during my swim pe, and since the beginners class is damn slack, I was watching most of the filming. Lols. Kevin, dont be jealous.

I seriously love the slackness of beginners class. I was practically sunbathing the whole time! xD Haha.

Headed to macs after swim pe without showering. But the taxi wait was damn effed up, seriously. Stupid taxi drivers waiting for peak hour before they pick up pax, what nonsense is that? Ended up taking one at 5pm. heard Kevin took one at 5.20 when we're supposed to hit water at 5. Haiz....

Water Training Log
Program: Technical rows with resistance - Did 2.5k without, 0.5k with.
Boat: Peisheng C1
Capsizes: None

Wah. I haven't used a C1 in a very long time! Felt quite unstable at first but after a while I got used to it heh. Felt an odd tilt to the right on the peisheng but Hadrian said it was fine. Maybe it's just the peisheng, cuz my kneepad doesn't fit the boat perfectly and it tends to move around, especially when I kick. Speaking of which, I'm slightly getting the hang of the kick.

But idk really. Today I tried to focus on staying in the boat such that I didn't stretch out far enough for fear of either getting out or stepping down. Hadrian said heck with the latter and the former can be solved by stretching out forward and not sideways. Its a bit complicated but I think I've grasped the theory of it, so I'll try tmr. Heh.

Another problem is the twist. One reason I tend to go out is because I'm not twisting enough. So I'll try to, according to Mr Ro, align myself in the boat with my left shoulder in line with my whole body. Which makes sense really because then I'll be forced to twist more and most importantly, already in the boat! Hmmm... I better reiterate that to myself in bold, italics and underlined: Align self with boat with left shoulder in line with whole body!

But then Hadrian said that instead of stepping down on the boat, we should be plunging our weight on the paddle, which I could roughly visualise, including the pain it'll bring to the shoulders, but I'm still confused as to stretch forward and yet throw your weight on the paddle, which is next to the boat, yet stay in the boat at all times! It has something to do with the hips I think, but I don't see how that comes to the picture.... Hmmm.... Guess I'll try to learn to plunge my weight first, I mean, I will learn to plunge my weight on my paddle!

Yups. Wow. That's a lot to digest. Oh wells, here's to better strokes!

Program: TWENTY-TWO FREAKING KILOMETRES
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Six!

Okay la, I don't really wish to make whatever happened public online. So Jarrod, whatever happen, don't kill yourself over it, okay? :) Some of the capsizes was partially my fault too, especially the first one, so it's okay, it was fun rowing with you. At least now we know of our strengths and weaknesses so that we may better ourselves of Nats! 3rd place is really good considering we're new. I really don't care about 2nd anymore, at least we met our objective of wanting to get something out of today. :) Tbh, we got more. Haha.

Though I may have shouted and freaked out towards the end, I'm sorry. Now you know how short-tempered I am. Haha. But it's okay. You still did your best, and I appreciate that, my vice-cap! (Y)

But please, learn how to breathe properly else you'll hyperventilate in the boat again. It was damn scary! Please, please don't.

Overall, I'm freaking sore now, but I feel good knowing that IT'S OVER and I SURVIVED!!!

Oh and TTQ, PLEASE LEARN HOW TO FEED AND NOT TO CHOKE PEOPLE. Thank you.

I know how to bring out the potential of the C1 champion

GP felt short and I LOVED IT BEING THAT WAY. Mass PE after that, which was surprisingly tank-able. But the squats really hurts though... Guess I'm not used to it. =/ Anyways, a short break after that. Then comes the tutorial/lecture marathon for 4hrs straight! Bio tut, maths tut, bio lecture, chem prac. Lol @ time sets for chem prac. Freaking have to rush to meet the timing, haha, but it was quite fun seeing everyone kan-chionging and messing things up. ^.^

Finally learnt the couples dance after school. And I must say, it's quite doable, at least the guys part. Haha. Slept at the void deck after that for a few hours before heading for training.

Program: 2.5min,1.5min,45sec sets of 30kg,30kg,50kg bench press, bench pull, ??kg bicep curls, 5kg/10kg shoulder press, ??kg lats pulldown, 5kg seat ups, 12kg upright rows

Damn. One word: Died. Nuff said, especially the first set.

Anyways, the part after gym was DAMN FREAKING HILARIOUS. Wished I could have videophoned it, but I didn't. Haha. The funniest part was when WY restrained Cliff and pulled him back with all his might to save the frog. Lol. Tonight I saw a side of WY I never knew existed. Haha.

"NOOOO!!! CLIFF!!! HAVE YOU NO COMPASSION FOR GOD'S CREATIONS?!!!"

Perks of a bio student I guess. Haha. We're just curious of what the insides of the frog looks like. xD

Can't imagine how WY like react if he saw the dead bird we placed on the road to be squashed by the bus or when we tossed the lizard in the pool to waddle... HAHAHA.... A true geologist in the making...

Dinner at Holland V. Subway with all the shit we canoeist usually make, especially YX. Haha.

2010-01-14T22:49:00.000+08:00

Lessons as per normal again. Sianz. Chemistry, maths lecture, gp, maths tut, art.

I still cant stand the gp teacher. It's like she haven't fucked anyone before in her life so that why she's damn anal. She's scolding us for martin dickson's slack teaching and tried to save us by pressing the 'spam hw button'. She should just screw herself. Then again, it's probably her botox-ed face which is scaring everyone away. Eew. Seriously, her continuous smile can freak you out with her taut eyes staring at you. Maybe that's why she's adding her -t or -d at the end of her words....

I miss Martin Dickson. ;_;

Gym Training Log
Program: 3 sets of 3 stations - bench press, bench pull, bicep curls

Anyways, gymmed after maths tut with Jarrod. Tbh, the gym was quite stupid lah. We were the least bit disciplined to try 12 reps to die because of training later so even with the heavy weights, we just did like 6 to 10 and stopped, and fucked it. =/ Oh wells. I cant say I can't complain too because I felt too old to be doing heavy weights after such a long break from it. Damn. 60kg bench press now feels like shitzles.

But I practically died in art after that lah. Felt damn sleepy and tired, and you cant sleep in a two-student classroom. It's damn obvious lah. Sianz. Asked Madam to go to the toilet to wash my face and she practically scolded me for 'disrupting her lessons' and such. Sianz....

Wtf? Training felt damn short and the whole 5k was shitty. In our efforts to stretch out further, we're stepping on the boat too much and and our recovery control went haywire. Damn. In short, it was a shitty training.

ACJC Open House 2009

2010-01-13T22:15:00.001+08:00

The day started of quite sian lah. I didn't know if the OGLs could wear yellow collegiate to school so I wore blue and brought yellow, which is like a super waste of time tbh.

Came to school and sat on the floor! omfg, its so freaking nostalgic, especially the part when the whole class sat on one squeezy line instead of two. Lol.

Set up the CCA display relatively quite fast and practically stoned there till the first check at 10 while the rest were doing, omfg, homework. The video rocked though. Haha. Don't know why the girls are so petty when they're not in the video... I mean, just because of that, they want a different shirt than our? Like wtf right? And I have a feeling it's also because SOMEBODY said there were no girls in the canoeing team... Haiz...

Anyways, lunch then the grand opening. It's so fun to cheer both the core and echo group at the same time! Haha. Reminds me of VS. Lol.

Touring the guest was so freaking awesome! You see those who are thinking of getting in and we show how cool we are, and there are those who are begging to get in and i just laugh in my heart that you're so pathetic. Haha. Its fun sharing your personal experiences, like when they ask about subject combinations, I always reply, 'Dont take physics in AC, cuz the physics dept sucks...' HAHAHA.

Took 3 groups of people, one from SJI, which includes the dsa canoeists and some who wants to appeal in through canoeing, wow, there's another from nan hua who are damn cheena seriously and another from, omfg can you believe it, vs. HAHA. So shocked to see them there la. But they're probably just there to jew the goodie bag la seriously. Freaking 6 pointers.

Rowing the pool was fun yet stupid at the same time. Haha. I bet everyone who saw us think that we're crazy idiots, especially those who saw the rest playing the oyx game in the pool. Haha. I happen to be one of them. Lol.

Thank god I didn't row in the t2 for long. Not only is the combing broken, which is damn dangerous la, but there was also a freaking lizard in there la. Haha. Kenneth yeong was damn funny. There was no seat on the t2 and he just freaking sat on the screw. LOL! Awesome win. Not only that, the lizard freaking crawled up to his neck before everyone realised there was actually a lizard there. HAHAHA. He was like 'omg canoeing damn fun' until the lizard came into the picture. Haha.

We tossed the lizard in the pool and it was waddling around for like 5 mins before it went into the pool drain. Which means that it's probably still there now. Haha.

Anyways, after the comical action was over, we packed up everything and headed to holland v. to crash the scone class dinner. Haha. That was when Joween offered Yauwan her fridge full of food. Haha. The glint in his eyes were damn obvious... Lol.

My lips like suga....

4 period PE after that. Got some PE talk which is quite lols. Haha. Wow! Alfie's in my same PE period! Haha. But I got swim PE next week onwards. Sian. After swimming still got training. At least I'm only in beginners. Haha. I dont intend on doing anything else...

[ Now Listening To: The All-American Rejects feat. The Pierces - Another Heart Calls ]

Cabbed over to Mac with Yings (i know, desperate times call for desperate measures). Cuz I thought that everyone else left when I forgot that oyx and honghwee also have the same PE period as me... -.-" Apparently the 'everyone else' took bus and was damn freaking late. They reached there at 5.20+, which is like wtf. Half an hour of training? WTF?!

Whose bright idea was it to take the bus after 4.30? Gah! And I wasted $4 cab fare just for half an hour of training. SO NOT WORTH IT LA. Especially to be shot in the face by Cliff during debrief.

[ Now Listening To: Rihanna - Russian Roulette ]

The rowing was also horrible la, at least for me. Jarrod was off-form and so was I. I tried to stay in the boat by holding my paddle higher to the yellow mark cause I figured that I've been holding it too low all these while which made me go out of the boat often. So yeah. But it was phail obviously. I couldn't J properly and then the direction got super super haywire. Plus Jarrod's off-form caused the boat to be super unstable. Thus everything made us panic and basically it felt horrible. Gah!

[ Now Listening To: Owl City - Vanilla Twilight ]

The day started out quite bad actually. I finished my art assignment at like 12am and couldn't sleep (idk why) till like 2.30. Obviously I overslept and freaking hell woke up at 6.30! Rushed to shower and then caught the 6.45 train. Reached B.Vista at 7.15 and rushed to school. Damn.... what a way to start the first day of school.

Chapel, did like one question of the chem holiday homework... xD Then there was that principal address thing which no one listened to cause it's just repetition from CCAAB. Haha. I was singing in my head the entire time...

[ Now Listening To: Leighton Meester feat. Robin Thicke - Somebody To Love ]

Anyways, contact time was wtf... we got a new form tutor who is also a pregnant lady. Deja vu much. I really hope she's not like Elaine Kao-Peh Yong. Then again... most bottom teachers are... =/ Seriously the higher-ups look fierce but they are actually more fun and lenient when it comes to discipline and stuff.... Gah! Here comes the PMS...

My timetable was also wtf... I thought J2 would end earlier. It's the same shit as last year. In fact, I preferred my last yr's timetable better... =( Tuesday's Art + Bio + Chem + Math lecture combo is NOT a good thing... And Chem Lab during Friday prayers?! WTF!!! So I cant freaking pon class at all la! Damn it... Stupid timetable...

[ Now Listening To: Metro Station - Seventeen Forever ]

That aside... common break, wow, said hi to a lot of people! HEY!! I like this. Lol. And the void deck doesn't look primary sch-ish people, i love it. It's just a pity that the lockers are now outside LT5 instead... =/

The discipline talk... yawnz... heard about the jacket thing months ago, but it's weird they don't allow black based cca jackets yet they allow plain black jackets... hmmm.... =/

[ Now Listening To: David Cook - Light On ]

Left GP after one period to slack in the void deck with the sconers. WTF, Kevin now has weird fetishes for fur... First shit, now fur, I wonder what next... Hahaha. Oh and the free ice-cream rocks. Seriously. But I cant help wondering if it was last year's batch... if that's the case then there's a possibility that 300 students out of the cohort will be at home with diarrhoea or something... Haha...

[ Now Listening To: Taylor Swift - Fifteen ]

Left for NewTown at like 1+ to literally stone there for another 2 to 3 hours. Wow. Even the HOD whom we were supposed to report to didn't expect we were coming. Lol. Only the principal knew and they basically sent us to the canteen at the back of the school when the hall is nearer to the gate. They claim that students will go to the canteen after receiving their results when they actually just go out of the gate after that. Two words: MEGA PHAIL. Gave out like only 5 calendars out of 45 i think. Lol. We had to resort to eavesdropping to know who are the smart ones and who are not. Apparently there was one girl who got liek 7 points or something... Haha. But I agree with Samuel Ang, "We hope not to see you in AC". LOL!!!

[ Now Listening To: La Roux - Bulletproof ]

Oh, only one guy approached us to ask questions and the only questions he asked was, "are u from ac?" and "j1 or j2?" Apparently he's an ACJC alumni from NewTown and he said that only a handful of them go to AC every year and most, if not all are through DSA or appeals. His batch got only 7 (he had to appeal to get in) and our batch got 2, both DSA students. Wow... It makes you wonder why Mrs Chiang puts the school as one of those with 'more and more students coming into AC'... like WTF right?

Left for Mac at 3.50 and reached there at 4.30 to meet Hong Hwee alone. Lol. Some stuff happened after that which I don't wish to say.

[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - Arleady Gone ]

Training Log
Program: 6k technical rowing with resistance
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Zero

Wow. The resistance is really *insert appropriate word here*... At first I thought the water spouting thing was quite cool. It was even cooler due to the fact that it showed our massive power applied to row. But after a few kilometers, it became a real chore. Oh wells, I guess that's why they call it resistance.

[ Now Listening To: No Doubt - I'm Just A Girl ]

The training felt kinda rushed though. We launched at 5.10 for 6k, so we were like fighting against time. Because of that we tend to panic and like increase our rotation. So we had to be reminded time and time again to slow down and stretch. Guess that wasn't really made clear at the start. I thought the aim was to finish in time but apparently the goal was to provide an opportunity for maximum catch. I tried, but 50% of my stretches got fend off my Jarrod's ass, and 70% of the time I was still rowing with my body out of the boat. Gah! I really need to work on that...

But overall it was okay I guess. The last kilometer I died somehow and the direction went super haywire. Sorry Jarrod. But it felt good knowing that you can actually stretch that far in the boat. The sprint after that felt seriously refreshing when we took off the resistance, especially when it comes to direction control. Rubber-less is the way to go seriously.

[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You ]

The debrief went well I suppose. I liked the tone and the appropriateness of it. Jarrod, I bet you planned this during our row today, right? Haha. It doesn't matter really. The message was clear even though the arrowing was damn obvious (if it's not the C2, what else could it be?). Haha... This includes the push-ups. Wow, we've been TKY-less for a LONG time... Thumbs up, Jarrod. :]

Went home after that. OMFG. I forgot how annoying 93's frequency was. Waited at the bus stop for like 20 freaking minutes before the bus came. The Farrer Road jam is seriously effed up because of CCL construction. Grrr... At least Sancia was with me so I had someone to talk to lah (sorry wy)... HAHAHA!

[ Now Listening To: Tokio Hotel - Automatic ]

Wow, what a long post for the first day of school... I'm dreading the other days of school though... T.T

Program: 10k out of 16k mileage
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Zero
Rests:Once at 7k (i think...)

[ Now Listening To: Sean Paul - So Fine ]

Wow. I really forgot what happened on thursday. But what I could recall is that I cut programme at 10 after the 10th kilometre for school. Sorry Jarrod for leaving you to finish in a C1. Anyways, the bus was damn crowded and reached school at 11-ish, just in time for flag paining.

Apparantly everyone else already learnt the couples dance, so I'm clueless. Haha. Nonetheless Sarah finally came and we painted the flag, which is damn nice according to everyone haha thank you. Lunch was nasi lemak again with the rice replaced by bee hoon. -.-" Continued flag painting then went for more games!!

[ Now Listening To: Little Boots - New In Town ]

The first game was some chair thing, which I didn't play. Then there was jellyfishing which apparently I heard got scrapped because the jelly was severly disintegrated into smaller pieces by us and no one else could play. Haha. It was fun though. Then there was the tower-of-feet thing with Vasilia. Omg. The dancers are damn pro in splits and stretching their legs up high to the top of the tower!! The won naturally... haha. Then the battle of the sexes, which is basically asking the boys to disturb the girls more frequently in class by braiding their hair. Lol. I got nothing to say about the boys having to have their nails painted. Neither do YK... lol, Vebi really smeared black nail polish all around his fingertips. LOL!!!

[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - 3 ]

And that was the end of games. Mass rally afterwards then 50 freaking pushups for punishment because some people were late and there were some swearing here and there... (from the same person *cough* with the same word *cough* multiple times *cough*cough*). Then dismissal, where joey ran 4.4k for no apparent reson... Then dinner at Holland V with sconers + ant + monfort dog then home and slept immediately.

[ Now Listening To: Mika - We Are Golden ]

Woke up the next day just to go back to shcool. Hah. I'll get used to this soon again... =/ Damn... Anyways reached school at 8+ to see the canoeists making some wire thingy as open house door gifts before they went for their run.

Apparantly my knee went from bad to worse cause I went to row on thurs that my burn worsened to create two more holes in my knee. Now there's like three... Damn.

[ Now Listening To: Fall Out Boy - American Suitehearts ]

Anyways reached LT6 on the spot at 9 so no push-ups from me. Haha. Clan time: more cheers from Gloria! Yay! There's one cheer we ripped off from Aetos. Lol. I like... And I finally learnt the couples dance, at least only the first half of it...

Mass rally, then lunch, left for friday prayers when everyone went for tour route trial, then walk-in practices. I really hope it will go well on the actual day. Lol. And I hope the Vulcan dance wont be too complicated. Everyone's depending on the dancers for a swell intro! Haha... Afterwhich was a final mass rally which is seriously seriously DUH BOMB!!!

[ Now Listening To: We The Kings - Heaven Can Wait ]

We ended the camp on a high with the singles and couples dance. Unfortunately I still havent finished learning the couples dance, so I danced the more complicated girls part with Jin. Lol. Think I'm grasping it... Haha...

The best part about OGL Camp is that it's not over yet! Haha. Orientation in two weeks! Cant wait! Especially since I'm in-charge of the mud game! YAY!!! Too bad there's school in between... =/ Haha...

[ Now Listening To: Tokio Hotel - Automatic ]

Dismissal then went for dinner at Paradis there with Tricia, EeLeng, Abi and Gerald to celebrate Gerald's and Jacq's birthday without her. Haha. Walked around after Eelleng and Abi left at Iluma and Bugis Junction before heading home. Tired again and slept immediately after I reached home.

Time Taken: 75min + 42min + 30min
Capsizes: Once at 5km
Rests:Once at 10k and another at 16k.

[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - My Prerogative ]

Oh ya! I remembered what happened on thurs! I was damn pissed at the seniors for being ass critical when they themselves are pulling a Dlim. If you want to tell us what to do, at least row with us or something instead of just camping at 500m telling us what to do whenever we pass by. I know we have lots to improve, but advice shouldnt be given like we're dogs. Lead by example morons...

Suddenly remembered that cause they came down again. At least Fang Yi gave proper advice by rowing with us. That's why he still has my respect. But I lost respect for Marcus, Elian and Hwax.

[ Now Listening To: Pink - U + Ur Hand ]

That aside, the twenty kilometers of rowing was damn painful. Especially the first k after each rest because my knee has to readapt to the pain of kneeling again and again. Cant really recall what happened on the first 10k. It ended quite fast. The next 6k was slightly better. Maybe because the wind picked up and actually aided us when we were going down. Unfortunately the wind got stronger and more chaotic for the last 4k that it was a chore to acutally go down, even Hadrian got blown back to 1k behind us. =P Haha.

[ Now Listening To: Alexandra Burkes feat. Flo Rida - Bad Boys ]

Nice rowing with you Jarrod. We've survived! Yay... Even though I pulled the entire weight for the last 2k, we've survived! Now if only we could do all that again + 2 more kilometres + portage at every 7k then we're ready for marathon!!!

Too bad wy stopped at 14... Haha...

[ Now Listening To: Flo Rida feat. Wynter - Sugar ]

Anyways, after we left my knee suddenly got dead worse and grew numb such that I couldnt straighten it at all... ouch. Studied at starbucks with mark + quoc + kevin + yauwan + jarrod before heading home to sleep and rest my knee.

Woke up at 12 today just to dread school which is coming tmr... Crap. I have yet to finish chem, art and gp hw. Damn... At least my knee is slightly more well-rested and I could straighten my leg again. (: Yay!!!

[ Now Listening To: Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind ]

2010-01-06T21:13:00.003+08:00

[ Now Listening To: Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling ]

Initially I wanted to go training this morning, but I felt so damn ill yesterday night at freaking 38.4°C that I decided to skip and sleep in. Popped in a few Panadols and felt slightly better this morning at 8, which unfortunately, training is halfway over... =/

Went for OGL Camp and felt gradually better throughout the day. Cant expect me to be down all day right... Lols. Gloria + dancers + estacy-bound councillors = uber hype. Hype + the rest = too hot vulcan.

[ Now Listening To: My Chemical Romance - The Ghost Of You]

Oh apparently Wei Ling was down with the flu too! Dont care about Dlim though.... asshole.

Icebreakers, met new faces even though they're from my batch, and I guess it's just another opportunity for new facebook friends. HAHA. Anyways, I enjoyed the Husband and Wife game though I expected to play Gloria's Tiu Tiu Tiu game that we played during CCAAB. Oh wells.

[ Now Listening To: Mika - We Are Golden ]

Singles dance... Haha. Nothing much to say. At least I'm not the slowest learner. Can roughly grasp it though in need of some fine tuning here and there especially the prechorus and chorus part... Great job though to the dancers who choreographed it! Speaking of which, most of them ARE in my clan... lol...

Cheering session, okay lah. A good recap for mass rally, though we need more practice being the core group. And I really need to differentiate the AC and VS cheers. Lol. Almost stumbled over Kemak cheer because VS had a similar cheer...

[ Now Listening To: Timbaland feat. SoShy & Nelly Furtado - Morning After Dark ]

Speaking of VS, omg, O-Level release of results on Mon! All the best guys! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it back to VS because I have to go to other west zone / AC-affiliated schools to 'persuade' them to come... *rollseyes* Oh damn...

Games! Woohoo! So fun. The tissue volleyball was an epic phail. Lol. Penguin wrestling is interesting but felt a bit too short... =/ The ball game thingy (forgot the name) which Francis was in charge of (oh, happy birthday btw) was fun though I wondered why it had to be in the sun when all you need is the wind element to challenge the game...

[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance ]

Crawling box was SUPER FUN!!! HAHAHA. THE MESSIER THE BETTER! SERIOUSLY!! Too bad I got injured cause the sunken gallery floor was too rough... And of all the places to get injured is my left knee. Damn. My poor rowing knee... Seriously though, there's a reason why the army crawl is done in a long sleeve + long pant attire. Dont know why the first round was done on rough sunken gallery floor when the smoother tiled flooring is right up a few steps next to it... =/ Oh wells... I'll survive. Thanks Kai Xiang and Kat though for the first aid.

And because of my injury I had to sit out of the last game - a wet game of all games... DAMN.

[ Now Listening To: 30 Seconds To Mars - Kings And Queens ]

Mass rally. Win, seriously. Dont know why... Haha. Poled Francis after dismissal and went back home.

The bus ride home was killer. My cold suddenly came back and couldn't breathe for a short period of time. I assumed it was the aircon, cause after I alighted, I felt slightly better... =/

[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce - Telephone ]

Think I'll go for training tmr... =/ Felt bad for pangsei-ing Jarrod. It's 16k though.........

Caught in a bad romance.

Program: 12k mileage
Boat: Billy C2
Capsizes: Once during program at 4k. Two more times afterwards during fun sprints.
Rests:A short one at 7k.

Not bad. Quite fast. The ending was sex, seriously. MUST get used to the stretch.
Yah. And I still need to stay in the boat. Hah. Guess I'm too big for the boat. Lol. But I tried after the mileage to stay in the boat for like a few hundred metres and I could do it. So maybe can try push for more. Cause usually I tend to 'go out' to turn the boat right, of which I found an alternative which is to stay in and stretch out my arms to sweep. Also tend to 'go out' whenever Jarrod's not stretching cause I keep hitting his ass. ;D Haha. Dont know an alternative for that. Maybe the new stroke will solve everything. Just gotta say hello to thigh cramps and serious pains in the ass.

Lol. The video making also made everyone crazy. Seriously, flutters + squeeze + pullups + wipers + oyx game + 300 pushups... lol, who gets so energized after training.

That was... until someone pissed me off...

Damn. Woke up late today. Haha. 1st training of the year, already late. Lol. 4th time already. Hahas.

But seriously weekend bus frequencies are evil!!! 4 buses to take to macritche from Thomson Road, yet it took 10 minutes for one of them to come.

Boat: Billy C2
Time Taken: Unknown - Didn't time damn
Capsizes: Zero!!!
Rests:Once at 7k, a long one after 10k, a short one after 500m sprint.

[ Now Listening To: Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - You Better Pray ]

Hell yeah! Didn't capsize this year yet! And wtf, Hadrian of all people got first blood. Lol. The 10k row was damn tiring. Right shoulder was in pain for first few kilometers. But after the rest at 7k, felt slightly better. And because of that me and Jarrod we're damn off-form. And the odd thing is that we could still glide despite our lack of syncronization. Lol. Imagine our speed when we sync. Holy crap!

[ Now Listening To: Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas ]

The last 3k after the rest finished quite fast though... I think... maybe I was just tired. Gah! Cant imagine tanking 22km for SCM which is freaking 2 weeks later. Damn. The sprints were okay I guess for the first time. The first few sets was shit, but the 3rd 250m set was quite good. :] Our burst is definitely a work in progress, especially syncing the up in rotation, which involve direction control as well. Gah. Starts too. The first few sets were bad because of bad starts which made the direction go haywire thus making us panic and get even more tired.

[ Now Listening To: Rihanna feat. Young Jeezy - Hard ]

Golden rooster and LAN after training. Nothing special.
Gonna go starbucks to finish my art hw tmr... Damn. Holiday's ending...
DLim better come on mon/tues cause I want my protein damnit!

revival...again...

2010-01-01T19:15:00.003+08:00

Been thinking of reviving my blog for quite some time, and I finally have the balls to do so. Heh. It's a new year, new beginning right. :]

[ Now Listening To: Ne-Yo - Miss Independent ]

Maybe I'll use this blog for my training log too. Been thinking of doing that for some time too...

2009. Love or hate it? I guess it's a bit of both. It's sad when you have to leave your old friends especially when you're going to a completely new school. But that's what I have set my mind to the beginning of last year. I want a FRESH and BRAND new start, and I got it. :]

[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy ]

It wasn't easy. But I managed. And I realised one thing though. What you are will be what you are forever. Just look at VS leaders - leaders in secondary school, leaders in JC. Head prefects in secondary school, council president in jc. It's an unfair cycle, because in jc, i reliased, it's all a popularity contest. Maybe its just ACJC, but it's what I noticed.

And because of that, starting afresh is DEFINATELY not easy when hell no one knows you and dont even know what you are especially when you're not a high profile type.

I wanted to start anew, wanted to be a different person, but I just couldn't leave who I really am. =/ I wanted to be with people, I wanted lots of shit that didn't even come true.

Gave trying out for council. Gave up trying for CCA heads. I regretted it.

[ Now Listening To: Pixie Lott - Mama Do ]

But I did try out for House Captain in the end. Haha. I guess I really couldn't give it all away... I just wanted a name... and maybe do something with my life.

I regretted more shit though. Like not trying out for scholarships, or CIP opportunities, or even job attachment or external H3s...

Frankly, I dont even know what went through my mind when I gave up applying for those.

But I still managed though. There's always silver linings. Made a hell lot of new friends in AC. And it's partially due to me giving up on giving up.

[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone ]

I really like to thank the Barker boys. They really accepted me like one of them. :] Accepted me so much so that everyone else thought I was from Barker Road myself. Haha. I dont mind though. That school is huge!

I want to thank ACanoe, both girls and boys, i mean, boys and men, for providing me a clique to stick to through this year. Seriously, ACJC is nothing without its cliques. It's like a survival factor vital for your stay during these 2 years. Not only that, canoeing really made me appreciate sports and physical activities. Glad to say my 2.4km drastically improved, though it's still considered a bad timing for a canoeist, I'm still happy to improve. It goes the same with Pull-ups. Haha. Used to be my worst, now it's my best. :]

I want to thank CCAAB. Seriously, it widened my circle of friends. Facebook was spammed with 'Musli and ______ are now friends'. Haha. Loved it. Both the company and the leadership experience, even though it was my 4th visit to Jalan Bahtera. Lol. But it was my first time doing zipline, and I do not wish to go through what happened there. OMG. So embarrassing, but everyone was so supportive. :] Thanks Baden-Powell.

[ Now Listening To: Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care ]

My class. Its a love hate relationship I guess. Soooo much politics in there. And most of it is thanks to you Jacq. Haha. I think I jumped cliques in there quite a number of times... omg... But thanks though to my class... Haha. Gerald, especially you, my fellow eastee, THANKS FOR YOU SUPPORT. SERIOUSLY!!! Despite my criticism, thanks...

My OG. Even though we horridly split a few weeks after orientation, it was still meaningful as my first few friends in AC, even though 2 are from VS... Haha. I must really thank Alfie and Hannah too, being like my first acquaintances there. Need I say more?

Alfie. :] You're a bitch.

Which goes to show that I really NEED people to know me. Need in bold and underlined many many times for emphasis. I simply couldnt give THAT away.

[ Now Listening To: Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake - Love Sex Magic ]

Studies-wise, i really got nothing to say. The fact that my class kept saying 'Why are you in our class? Go join SC1...' shows something. Haha. And it's not helped by the fact that I was hang around some of the sconers. Lol.

And it got me to the SIM thingy. Not really sure if it is THAT advantageous, but heh, it's still recognition. And I guess it's something I cant live without either.

Still thinking of getting a H3 subject. I dont know really. Internal H3 is such a pain. I REALLY regret not getting an external one... =/ The game design one sounds interesting. Too bad you need physics. HAHA. Screw physics.

Bio + Art combo ftw. Full stop.

That's pretty much my school life for 2009. Now just to tackle 2010, starting with J1 orientation. Like I said, I need people, and I can't leave this company. Lol. I'm such an extrovert introvert.... Seriously.

Ooh. I just reliased I'm a morning person in 2009. Just reliased I'm super stone at night... talk about a 17 year lag... =/

Fun-O-Rama. OMG. I"M SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!! Just another event to burn another hole in my wallet. Seriously ACJC is such a money leecher... My heart sinks with each dollar I have to pay for fundraising.

[ Now Listening To: Panic At The Disco - New Perspective ]

One thing I love about AC is the SHIRTS!!! Hahaha. My closet is now ACfied as much as me. Lol. And I'm sure there's more shirts to come. *hint* jumble sale, i'm waiting *hint* Could never get to one because of canoeing in 2009. But I forsee 2010 being a good year, despite the A-Level.

A-Level. I think i'll focus on this after my other commitments are over. :] That seems to be the trend right now... Haha.

[ Now Listening To: Taylor Swift - You're Not Sorry ]

Nationals. I have high hopes for this. I dont want my CCA to close down. Me and Jarrod are there. C2 ftw! As for dragonboat... I'll let the team decide for me. It's a team sport after all. I'm up for giving up my Sundays for it. Not sure about the rest though...

Slightly reluctant for Canoeing Marathon though. 22km of C-paddling is just another way to spell DIE. Jarrod, I'm sorry if I'll hate you after that. Though I think that wont be the case - your bullshittyness never cease to amaze and amuse me. Lol. Bruno + borat ftw.

So here's my new years resolution:
1) A-Div Top 4.
2) C2 Silver.
3) 6As for A-Level. Couldn't get one MT already... =/ But I can still aim high.
4) Alfie. I'll get you soon enough... though you're making it REALLY hard
5) And finally, my superficial resolution for the year - I'll rid of my specs in school! I'll try (again) to wear contacts instead. :]

[ Now Listening To: 3OH!3 - Don't Trust Me ]

But seriously, if anyone knows how to ask someone who hates public places and movies out, tell me...

On second thought, strike that last sentence out.

[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance ]

Love this song!
Here's to a nice 2010 ahead. :]

Cross Country EPIC PHAIL

2009-02-25T22:27:00.002+08:00

Principal: (prayers) Dear Lord, I thank you for this fine weather we're having for our cross-country this afternoon ...... Oh Father, I know we may be spoiled so we pray that you could have some clouds overcasting the sun in this fine weather we're having. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

30 minutes later, it started pouring heavily. Cross Country is then canceled.

My bitch

2009-02-20T22:15:00.003+08:00

The Bitch Table

Nothing much occurred these past three days. Got my class - 1SC9. People in there quite okay la. Quite a few track and choir people there. And I just got my timetable today too. =/ Monday is damn bloody packed. And it ends off with PE. Swell. -.- And I'd have to miss H1 Art for Friday prayers. =(

Ooh, and I got into drama! Yay. And the text auditions today was interesting. I had to play a bitch. Ooh, I'm in character already. =P Not hoping much though, even if I don't get a part in Odyssey, even as an understudy, I'm fine with backstage, costuming etc. I already have canoeing to kill me.

Guess I'm really stuck at canoeing. Haiz. I'm fine with it la, but it will really clash with ACSian Theatre, especially if I got a part in Odyssey. Even tmr, I have both drama and canoeing occurring simultaneously. =/

Oh, I saw Bobo at Macritche Reservoir on Wed. Obviously, he's in canoe too.... Whoppee... -.-

Anyways, MBTI workshop today was kinda cool. It's like a personality test, which the school will keep records off. =P My personality can be defined as ISFJ or I Smile For Joy. =) I'm an Introvert, and also a Sensing, Feeling and Judging person. That means I prefer to be alone, am very factual, emotional and plans ahead for my future well.

Oh,and I bought a bitch today after my bitch performance during drama auditions. And I was told I could be one of those bitches who gets pulled around like a balloon shaped like a dog. =P Whee.... xD

Lookie... it's Julian the Bitch Seller

And here's my bitch =D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

2009-02-17T21:04:00.002+08:00

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY MUSLI!!! =D

And thanks guys for the wishes and the cake. No more birthday bash allowed in school due to last year's news-worthy incident. xD

Anyways, didn't have time to blog yesterday cause I reached home so damn late. But it's pretty much the same old lectures, of which we can still skip because attendance has yet to be taken in classes. =D

Slacked after school, played bridge in the cafe, sleeping in the library... same old same old. Ooh, and the cafe is now officially a gambling den because it's the only place where teachers or the DM doesn't go to. And also, sleeping in the library is actually grounds for demerit points. o.o Kinda lame...

Speaking of discipline, there was an informal attire check yesterday. I pity those guys whose hairs have those nice fringes. They're gone. =P Same thing for sideburns. I didn't get caught for my 'long' hair, though I really want to get a haircut cause the sides are starting to 'pop' out.

And what I find weird was that SA makes pull-strings compulsory, while AC bans them. SA also makes wearing the tie mandatory everyday, while AC doesn't have any. Hmmm... probably more supporting evidence of the whole AC vs SA rivalry thing.

Went to the mosque at Holland V with Alfie and Hana in the afternoon. Then slacked at starbucks. Managed to convince them to go for Arts Night, which we went afterward.

And Arts Night was awesome. Xue Yi rocks seriously. Not only she's our OGL, she also does drama, plays volleyball, takes H2 Art, plays the guitar, and also sings DAMN bloody well. Whoa. Makes you seriously wonder how she manages her time.

Most of the performances in Arts Night was cool. There's the cross-country guy who plays the piano as fast as he runs... Nathan Hartono, this jazz singer who sang during the NDP last year and apparently melts the hearts of the girls in my OG because of his smexy voice. Especially Hana, who joins choir because of that, but unfortunately ends up in a different section. xD

There's also Mr. Barry, the ang-moh physics teacher who apparently is a super big fan of Britney Spears, and sang a cover of Gimme More. Though Alfie wanted him to sing Piece Of Me or I'm A Slave 4 U instead. =P Or even My Prerogative... xD Haha

Speaking of that, dance results are out, and I didn't make it. None of the five in my group who danced together got in. Pissy choreographer, why the hell did he PMS before our turn.... >.<

Anyways, the band Bluelip... i think... is also quite cool. The music was AWESOME but the vocalist SUCKS LIKE SHIT. She could sing Sweet Child Of Mine, but the songs after that, she just screamed. And that made Hana and Alfie left. I can't imagine their concert on the 28th though. xD

Speaking of the 28th, it's cross-country day. And I was forced to signed up for competitive run of 3.9km because I can't do track or the swimming events. =(

Speaking of which, I so need to learn how to swim - again! I completely forgot how to swim. Not even a single bit. I do recall bits about threading water, though I'm too afraid to try. xD OMG. I'm such a pool nub.

There were more acts for Arts N16ht though, but I couldn't remember all the performances... =P

Today, same thing, more lectures. Maths, Chem, Bio... blah blah. The bio teacher is such an arse. She brings her favorite blue chair to every Bio lecture, which is this pre-school stool, for the one who came in the latest. So everyone's pratically campine outside the lecture hall early in thoughts of the dreaded blue chair. And the chair is so small that only half of you ass gets to sit on it. xD Good thing I didn't have to sit on it...

Ooh... classes will be out tmr. So excited. ^.^ I'll probably be stuck in the worst class or something cause we're grouped according to stream and then raw L1R5 score, of which mine just makes it at the borderline score. =P Hurrah to non-mugging class... hopefully.... =D

Ooh, I forgot about the cake. Kinda expected something today from my OG simply because, they're my OG. And they ROCK!!!! Pity we'll have to split to different classes. Got a greeting first thing when I came to school. xD Haha. Though I caught a sneak peek before their greeting. And it's such a sinful cake that I didn't eat much of it. It's layers and layers of chocolate cream, whipped cream and more cream on the cake.... o.o Okay, I'm exaggerating, but yeah...

Went for canoeing after school. And that's like my last resort CCA. Cuz everyone, being everyone, definitely wants to try something new in their JC life. And the more I think about it, I more I regret not being able to make it into AC Dance. Drama results still not out yet. And we have yet to have our Text Auditions for Drama. =/

Thing is, other sports CCAs and there just open for the recreational team only cause the school team is fixed with DSA students. Performing arts, I can't do music, so I'm left with Drama and Dance. Clubs and society... well, it's pretty much my final final ultra super last resort... Aah, guess I'm stuck with canoeing - again. Sianz. Even the SJI canoeist is joining Water Polo instead...

Anyways, canoeing training was surprisingly manageable. Though the bench presses I did yeterday severely injured my left wrist and right shoulder, so I couldn't even do pull-ups. x( Even assisted ones were done heavy on the left. x( Guess I'm pseudo left-handed. xP Ooh, and I found out the perimeter of ACJC, and Fairfield Methodist Pri and Sec school area is estimated to be around 1.2km... xD So it's 3 and a quarter round for X-country prep training I guess...

Anyways, really tired now. What a splendid birthday. =3 Kinda miss the tau-poks, jacks and throws in the pond. Disclaimer: I'm not giving any hints though. But oh wells. Better than the past two years when my birthday was on the weekends... x(

And so, I'm off. Ciaoz....

Got love? AC got It.

2009-02-14T21:39:00.004+08:00

Got love? AC has it. And it's weird cause the school celebrates Valentines Day on Friday the 13th. And there's like decorations in the hall, walkways, canteen... even biblical quotes on love everywhere... Such a culture shock... xD

Depressing moments and THAT CARD aside, I actually enjoyed myself on that day. The love music was popping, dedications were thrown everywhere, flowers, gifts, balloons, and all sorts of treats were handed from one another. And couples are so cute, especially Alon and Xue Yi, though they're not official couples. =3 Too bad I noticed a few rejections here and there too.

My OG rocks. All least the girls do. They're so enthusiastic about V-Day, and they were the ones mainly giving the gifts to us boys. =3 We formed the Single And Free Ppl Allegiance.

Flowers...

Balloons =3

Anyways, had a break during first period cause I don't take Econs. Chem after that. More mole. Then maths, more graphs. Long break for more love. Then GP, which is Sec4 English with EPL all over again.... Zzzzzz....

Slacked afterward, then skipped Bio for Friday prayers.

Slacked at the squash court and then the library with Yi Lei and the SJI boys while waiting for Alfie to finish her DEP.

Went with her and Hana for the AC Perbayu meeting. Yay, my first CCA. ^.^ It's fun. Icebreaker games. Although I was the first one to be kicked out during musical chairs. =.=

Went to Holland Village with Alfie, Hana and Farhanna. Walked there for 15 minutes and stayed there just for a few seconds before we had to head back to school for MUTS. xD Sorry, I ruined your heart-shaped balloon Alfie... =(

And I'm sorry to the driver who horned at us cause we were fooling around in the middle of the zebra-crossing. xP

MUTS!!!

Movie Under The Stars (MUTS) was so cool. Watched The Notebook. It's funny when they censored out the sex portions with the projector head and did finger shadow puppets instead. xP

When it's over, we wrote our well-wishes on our Valentines Day balloons and released it in the air. So cool that we contributed to global warming. =3

Anyways, did nothing much today. My dad opened a bank account for me. Saw Lizhi and Sze Chi at Parkway, went back to school for gym time, and shopped at Mustafa for a while.

Now I'm stuffing myself with candy the girls gave me... Hersheys rocks my socks!!!

Ooh, and smiley is done too! =3

Smiley is back.

2009-02-12T17:17:00.007+08:00

Annoyingly, each morning, I recalled to myself "Paint Smiley today!!!" and every time after school, I completely forgotten about it cause it's not located near the school gates.

Aah, it's probably completed by now.

Funny thing happened today though. Due to the dance auditions, the rest have aching bodies for the day. They were all, "I'm trying to keep my neck stiff cause if I bend it, it will FREAKIN HURT!" and stuff. xP Each time they said that, I just keep rolling my head... xD Why? Cuz a human body loves pain and grows by adapting from it, and apparently my body has adapted to that kind of neck pain.

Anyways, actual lectures start today. Chemistry lecture was uber boring. And the lecturer happens to be the H3 Chem tutor, so there goes my hopes of going to H3 Chem.... Didn't cover much except for atomic mass, molecular mass, isotopic mass and formula mass, which are stuff covered in sec sch, because 20 min of the lecture was done for some introductory 'prep' speech on JC Lecture system.

Maths afterward. The Indian Maths lecturer was uber funny. ^.^ You very well know the reason why. Covered standard graphs and a bit of ellipses. But again, half of the lecture was used for some 'prep' talk.

A long break after that cause I don't take H1 Econs, H1 Lit, H1 Chem, H1 Maths, H2 Physics, H2 History. Slacked at the school cafe, located at the sports complex. The Kuay Teow there is so worth the price. $1 for a plate, which is rare to find in this moment of Singapore's economic crises.

Bio after that. Again, introductory prep talk. Was falling asleep during that time, but forced myself to stay awake when the real lecture began. Cell structures. And its super in-depth. Apparently our notes were compiled from undergrad textbooks which are encyclopedia-thick yet it costs only 50 to 60 something dollars. o.o

Gymmed after that. Seriously, that place is damn orgasmic. Heck I even found a 'masturbation station' in the boys shower room, clearly labelled "Hey, if you're a man, shoot whizz here... or something like that on the door which happens to have dried substances on the door. =.= I'm drawing serious conclusions here, but hey, it's JC life.

Took 33 home cause I don't wanna stand on the train to get home. No homework at all today cause the lectures were to 'preppy' for it. =P

And yes, I just joined facebook. =/ Happy now ppl?

TATSU!!!

OHMFG!! Dance and drama audition results are still not out yet! =(((

But the AC Dance audition song is still stuck in my head. =P

AC Dance

2009-02-11T23:15:00.002+08:00

Today was super tiring. Started the day fine with subject registration which was done in only 5 mins although there's like a 1 hr10 min block for it. And after that was recess so there's like 1 and a half hour of break in the morning. Slacked in the library with more grumpy scowls by the librarian cuz we were laughing too much. Ooh and I found out that Shelf 2 is the official 'make-out shelf' of the library. xP

Anyways, after that was some Health Education talk about fitness and proper training routines. Blah blah blah. Stuffs I'm doing with utmost priority now. xD But I do find out that I have a tendency to gain muscle mass easily. That so makes me happy. =D

After that was height and weight scan. And by scan I mean literally scan with the laser machine thingy, which apparently is 'flawed' to many people cuz they are either lost weight than their last check (girls) or gained weight than their previous check (boys). For me... okay la. Checked my weight my day before so I wasn't that shocked. 174cm and 67.5kg.

And thank God I didn't make it to the ACtive club, which is just a fancy name for TAF Club. =.=

Auditions after that. ~~Forced to~~ try out for AC Dance thanks to Farhanna, Renee, Afiyah and Hanna. Uber tiring. But still enjoyed myself. The choreographer is a total bitch and an ass of a person. Nuff said. Before our turn for the auditions, he was totally mad that some of us disobey rules of 'no socks on while dancing', so he didn't enjoy our audition much. >.> He left after our auditions though.

Tried out for ACSian Theater after Dance with Farhanna, Afiyah and Renee. Hana went home. And guess where did the choreographer went. Yup, he went to choreograph the ACSian Theater auditions for the dance segment. =.= Because we went for Dance auditions, we missed the Drama acting auditions, but we still went for another dance auditions. Cuz ACSian theater does both acting and dancing, so it's really tiring to dance again, and what's worse is that it's from the same damn choreographer. >.<

Wah. 6 hours straight of aerobic dancing really kills your legs. And the twirling really blisters your feet if they're not taped. Yup, 6 hours. From 2.30 to 8.30. Which is apparently the norm time for which CCAs to be over. And for those CCAs like Band, Choir and Canoeing, who have training every single day, they'll be enjoying the night strolls back home at 9 or 10 everyday... o.o

Went to have dinner at Bedok KFC with Renee and Afiyah after drama auditions. They're one of those minute numbers of ACJC ppl who live in the East. Eating KFC was damn sinful for me cuz it so goes against what I've been trying to do and/or abstain from since PostOs.

Ah wells. Back at home now. Dead tired. Broke. Valentine's Day is seriously deflating my wallet. Apparently its a very big thing at ACJC. And while most of the JC1s there were from single gender schools, of which many suffered from 10 years of it, they were kinda hoping to expect more of their first co-ed sch experience. Unfortunately, V-day falls on the first month of sch, what more the second week of it, so not many bonds were forged THAT close so far. =((( Ironically, those from co-ed sec sch appears to be a hell lot more mature than those from single gender ones. *pokes SJI boys in my group*

Ah well. School lectures officially starts tmr since we just registered, thus attendance is mandatory. Good thing its only Chem, Maths and Bio tmr.

Intro lectures

2009-02-10T19:45:00.005+08:00

Wah piang! Second week of school already got politics in sch. Now my OG is like splitting up because of the KC girl. =/

Anyways, while other sch has already started their lessons, we have yet to pick ours. Our subject registration is tmr and these past few days were simply introductory lectures on each subject. Not compulsory at all. So one can just sit in the canteen all day and rot or just attend the lectures to sleep in the AC-room xP So the past few days have been really slack cuz there's nothing much to do. Been leaving at 1.10 these past few days.

GP lecture is such an arse cuz we had a pop quiz and no many was prepared for it. cored zero. Ah wells. Guess I should have known about the 08 current affairs more... Went through Gas Laws for Chem and the subject head was uber boring. She can't speak into the microphone clearly for nuts. Bio was interesting though. It's like the only subject I didn't sleep during the lecture. Went through DNA Replication. Sat through Econs lecture for the sake of it. And slacked throughout the rest of the day in the canteen and library.

Oh and we got our notes for the first chapters of chem and maths. Mole and graphs. Such wonderful topics to begin the year.

CCA Try-outs tmr. Thinking of trying out drama. Cuz it's so fun. ^.^

I tried out 196 after sch to get to town. Overslept till VS there. Haha....

In light of GP...

Ex-teacher had sex with teen
By Elena Chong

A FORMER school teacher had sex with a 15-year-old student six times in chalets and even in her matrimonial flat.

On Monday, the 32-year-old mother of one pleaded guilty to having sex with the youth, which began in March last year. She tried to break off the relationship when she found the teen becoming overly possessive and temperamental. But he refused.

A district court heard that when she insisted on ending their affair and ignoring his phone calls and text messages, he threatened to kill her and her family.

Fearing that he would carry them out, she confided in her school counsellor, who referred the matter to the school principal on May 15 last year. The next day she made a police report.

In court on Monday, the bespectacled woman, clad in a long white-sleeve blouse and dark blue pants, admitted to one charge of sex with a minor under 16. This is the first case of its kind involving a woman. If convicted, she faces a jail term of up to 10 years or fine or both.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Royce Wee said the woman was teaching Chinese language and civil moral education in a primary school where the victim was in Primary 6 in 2007. She did not teach his class.

After a school trip to China, the two began calling and SMSing each other frequently. Over time, she became fond of him and began to treat him as her godson, showering him with a lot of care and attention.

When he was promoted to secondary 1, they continued to meet. They also went window shopping, watched movies and had meals together.

They began to develop intimate feelings for each each. The boy finally told her he had fallen for her, and she agreed to be his girlfriend. On March 10 last year, she booked a chalet in Pasir Ris and had sex with him.

Senior Counsel Sant Singh said she was under a lot of work and family pressure, having to look after her five-year-old girl with learning disability. He said his client had wanted to end the relationship after realising that it was inappropriate and not right for her to do so.

'She was also ridden with guilt, and it was consequent to this that she could not handle the situation that she spoke to the school counsellor and made a clean breast....'' he added.

District Judge Sarjit Singh will pass sentence on Feb 23.

ACJC

2009-02-09T18:21:00.007+08:00

REVIVAL!!!!

Yup, a new year has past and now I'm in ACJC! =D Okay school I guess. High population of SJI boys there. o.o

Dont really know why ppl always classify it as a rich school. =/ Canteen food surprisingly cheap there. And the sting ray is awesome!! So is the wide variety of pratas. Highly recommend the Bomb prata, which is prata with condensed milk in it. =3

Anyways, orientation was super fun last week. But then again, which orientation isn't fun. Mass dance, fireless-campfire, cheers that echo-ed to the neighbouring schools till they were practically crowding around their windows to know whats going on. =P Haha. Played with water and mud until I got scratched severely and of course, sunburnt. Haha. The perks of orientation. The J2s are so superb. So bloody hyper and fun. It's almost like they're on drugs. ^.^ *hint*hint*

Oh, and male J2s there are like, superbly buff. And I mean, superbly. It really motivates you to be one yourself. =3

Speaking of which, the facilities available are so awesome. The gym is humongous. There's a pool and plenty of other sports facilities in the sports complex. All of which we can use in between lectures during free periods. =D No wonder guys there are buff. Anyways, first time I entered there was quite freaky cuz all the gym-users there were busy mugging during their workouts. xD Haha. Imagine running on the treadmill with notes in your hands. =3

And do you know what AC stands for? Air-con. It's freezing in their hall. o.o And there's air-con anywhere in the building, even in the shower rooms... xD

Anyways, I'm taking BCMA - Bio, Chem, Maths and Art. AC is special cuz there's no fixed generic subject combinations. One is able to pick any subjects they want. And the diversity comes from the Arts subjects. Art, Lit, Hist, Geog, Drama, Music, GSC, MT Lit, etc.... Which brings about some cockiness of people wanting this and that, but, oh well, when given such choices, who wouldn't want to make use of it to the fullest? =D

Dont know why ppl complain about distance too. It's a direct MRT ride there. Sch is equidistant from my house to the Kembangan MRT Stn, which takes around 5-10 min. Exactly 30 mins to get there. So its only 50 mins of traveling....

Anyways, orientation is over, and now it's subject registration time. And for certain subjects you have to take Diagnostic tests. Took one just now. And guess which subj is the test for? It's Maths. God. Everyone's face was so stunned when they got the paper. All the differentiation, integration, modulus, area under graph, circles, stats, polynomials, binomial, trigo... all quite blurry in my head. Aaah!!

And attachments/scholarships application is a real bitch. All 8 points, 8 points, 6 points. Such an arse. Cant even apply for any. >.< The ODAC one sounds really cool though. =(

Anyways, I'm still adapting to the school. Have yet to go past the third floor of the campus xD and I have yet to go inside the arts/dance building. =3 Ooh and being a Methodist school and all, I'm surprised that everyone there is damn religious. o.o Haha.

Oh well, still have CCA to consider though. Choices, choices, choices... so many to do during these two weeks.

Oooh! Remember, let the light pass through between you and your friend. =3

Still really pissed with myself for my results. Whats really annoying is that I wasted more than half of 08 staying back after school for coursework shit and all I got was a shitty five. So not worth my time. With the time I could have saved then, I could have pulled my English and/or comb humans to at least a two.

Screw it. Definitely cant go to vj sci with a 10 >.< Though I'm really hoping it could get me to tj. *crosses fingers*

Knew I should have signed up for vip when I had the chance. T_T

4 days to Xmas

2008-12-21T20:59:00.002+08:00

And so my cousins ho migrated to Australia 3 years back is on vacation here in Singapore. We just visited them to hear their awesome accents! xD It's really amazing how much your accent changes for living there for 3 years. Which makes you wonder how your English will be like if you were to live in Japan for 3 years.

Haha. ~~I missed my cousins' puberty for that.~~ I mean, even their Malay is spoken with Aussie accents!!

Anyways, they are having this family chalet on the 28th. Which, not only clashes with 2 other weddings, but also my Madrasah report card collection and my Bursary collection.

Yup, bursary, not scholarship. Cuz I'm only the top 11.4% of the cohort and not 10%. Screw those who threw me off my ranking. >.< $250 gone just by a mere 1.4%.

Ah, screw it. I'm dying my hair.

....haha....

2008-12-15T17:42:00.000+08:00

>.<

2008-12-02T22:59:00.002+08:00

Seriously, I'm sick of all these jobs stating that 'Being Chinese is an advantage' and all these shit. What's so advantageous about that?

My job at the hospital was so close to obtain, but then it was stated that I was 'too young'. When in fact, it is because I'm 'not Chinese'. The hospital now has plentiful of 16 year old bed checkers waiting for their O-Level results.

Some pledge we take. Where's the equality and racial harmony. Bulls.

We are no different than M'sia in racism.

Oh, and Happy Post World AIDS Day...

Tired

2008-11-27T20:05:00.001+08:00

Me: Mom, I'm going out...
Mom: Where are you going?
Me: Out to sleep.

Boredom kills. Another day canceled due to lack of interest.

Sad

2008-11-25T17:14:00.002+08:00

Still looking for a job. And unlike Danial, I'm not a pissy picky wuss. Just went for an interview at Giant Tampines just now. Meh.

Gah! Just got a letter... No more $500 Edusave scholarship!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Just because others improved further and did better than me in Prelim 2, kicking me out of the top 10% range, and there goes my $500....

Life IS SO UNFAIR!!!!

JC Subjects

2008-11-21T22:16:00.002+08:00

Hmmm... in the course of boredom, I planned out my entire life. And I just planned to be an unmarried virgin at 30.

Anyway, I confirmed that if I get 10 points or above, I go to polytechnic. My list of 12 course options are:- (in order)

1) Biomedical Science
2) Food Science & Technology
3) Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
4) Molecular Biotechnology
5) Chemical Process Technology
6) Nutrition, Health & Wellness
7) Applied Food & Science Nutrition
8) Dental Hygiene & Therapy
9) Material Science
10) Chemical & Pharmaceutical Technology
11) Sports & Exercise Sciences
12) Biomedical Informatics & Engineering

If I get below 10 points I'll go to Junior College with possible subject combination as follows:-

1) Confirmed aiming Science Stream
2) H2 Mathematics
3) H1 GP, PW
4) If I did better for Chem than Bio, I'll aim for H3 Chemistry with H2 Biology
5) If I did better for Bio than Chem, or if I did equally for both, then I'll aim for H3 Biology with H2 Chemistry
6) If I get a distinction for Higher Art, I'll aim for H1 Art as contrasting subject!!!
7) But if I don't get distinction for Higher Art, then I'll aim for H1 Econs.

Call me crazy, but yeah! =P

The only University Course I'm aiming for is Medicine at NUS. And another slightly possible (and more likely) course is Chemistry & Biological Chemistry at NTU.

Yesh... the JC Syllabus is crazy... x.x And yes, I know that H3 subjects do not grant any special advantage over others academically for a Uni Course.

And I'll probably take a year off after NS for study and earning-money time if I didn't get Medicine at NUS and want to take overseas. But the prices are killer. xD

So right now, I'll probably attempt to get a job and work till January. And I'll most likely volunteer my weekends for charity work because the Doctor guy from Camp Emerge said that volunteer work helps you if you want to take on Medicine.

Oh...and probably teach part-time tuition throughout the course of next year. Or I'll resume my community service time then too. If I can take it that is...

In the mean time, I'd better get studying on some H2 Bio and Chem while I'm free now.

Haha! I so don't have a life....

Bah! I still don't know which CCA to join next year though. xD

Bored

2008-11-20T02:47:00.002+08:00

God. Could holidays be anymore boring? Postos last thurs was disastrous. Fri was canceled due to lack of interest. Movie marathon-ed the rest of the week.

No luck in getting a job though. =(

And I need a new lookup header... T.T ...again...

Had a post on Postos though, but I deleted it for obvious reasons...

New Look

2008-11-07T15:02:00.002+08:00

Look-up a bit late-ish but I'm still hopeful =3

In holiday mood already though, despite the fact that there are still 3 more science MCQ papers.

NEW TV!!

2008-11-03T23:00:00.001+08:00

WOOHOO!!! I FINALLY HAVE A TV OF MY OWN IN MY ROOM - AGAIN!!! =D!!!
Though it's only 14", but meh... =D

These just cracked me up...

2008-10-17T15:50:00.001+08:00

These simply cracked me up... xD

Anyone?

2008-09-28T11:58:00.003+08:00

Anyone knows where I could purchase White Slim-fit Denim Pants for Males? There's none in Topman this season. Oh, and also Havaianas Sandals other than NewUrbanMale. Please share. -.- Thank you.

Whilst in the media lab...

2008-09-23T17:26:00.004+08:00

Hello all! =) Whilst waiting for my video(s) to export and burn in the media lab, I'm blogging right here in the media lab itself!! =D

Kay, that sounds super retarded. Maybe my brain isn't functioning as well as it should...

Anyways, do you feel that it's idiotic when you feel that you have been set free to the world, unburdened by the nuances that simply attach you to the Earth like gravity? Gah! Just when I thought I could let all my Art stuff go away after the deadline yesterday at 6pm, it came haunting back to me cause I have to edit the text and stuff...

Ooh, speaking of which, something interesting occurred yesterday. Whilst checking my DVD player for my Art Coursework, there just happened to be a DVD inside of it. Guess what DVD it is? It's a Biology DVD on The Human Body! Curiosity got to those of us in the room at that moment and we decided to play it. And to my horror, what was casted on my made shift screen was naked guys and girls from birth all the way to the elderly, arranged in one line. xD Haha. And guess who's DVD it belonged to? Apparently it belonged to Ho Seok Lay and she was showing it to her Sec 2 classes and unintentionally left it there. xD Haha.

Ah! The first video is finished exporting.

Today brought my green pillow to school because I was so damn tired when I woke up this morning at 5 that I reslept and woke up at 7.05. Was late. And now I feel stupid to even go to school after waking up late when OSWIN HIMSELF PON SCHOOL TODAY!!!

Planned to sleep during the 5 period of Maths today, but didn't cause E.T went Maths IT Lab and a few of us just stayed back in class playing Sorry! which is like a board game similar to Ludo which we found present in our classroom since Teachers Day. xD Damn fun.

Anyways, results for this prelim 2... you could say that my results simply remained around the same area, just that it has more of an uneven spread this time around as opposed to prelim 1, where my results were pretty much the same. Disappointed to get a B3 for physics, B4 for combined humans, C5 for english, C6 for higher malay. >.< You could say the physics was OKAY but it's not because others from other classes did sooo much better. Likewise for the other subjects listed above.

OMG! I'm still shocked that Danial ~~owned~~ did better than me in malay. How is that even possible?

Aw crap! There's a mistake in the first video!! >.< Wasted an hour of exporting for nothing....

Anyways, back to Danial pwning me in Malay, I wasn't as shocked as I was now when I found out because my skin super-enchanced and thickened in the process of finding out my other results. So I resisted slightly for getting such a low grade. But now I'm in an air-corn room and feeling super-heated from this shock. xD Not as shock as Hasif though, that's just too much to be in a state of self-denial, going loony and humming to yourself to calm you down sort of a thing. xD

Haha. But what can one do when something completely unexpected occurred right in front of your eyes...

Oh ya! And sorry I can't attend the Human-Alien Birthday Dinner later. Emphasis on the word 'cant' which means I'm compelled to go but forced to hold back due to earthly attachments. And it's not that Sakae is ~~not~~ halal and stuff... I would go if I could, but I couldn't. I can't say what it is, but I couldn't. Sorry. But happy birthday though you two. =D

In this situation where you feel slightly disappointed, and JEALOUS to stuff around you. You can only try to endure it and calm yourself down with certain pastimes! =D I recently have an interest in sewing. Haha. Maybe I can learn how to alter my own pants. That would be damn cool.

Me: Can help me? My bag strap is covered with rust because of my rusting metallic strap piece thingy.
Jason: Pour acid over it. It will react with the base and neutralise it.
Me: Are you serious?
Jason: Yes.
Me: Then what about the rusting piece itself?
Jason: What/ If you want to prevent it from rusting, why don't you just attach a magnesium strip there?
Me: =.= Wow. A magnesium ribbon as a keychain...

Chemistry at work! =D Haha...

Oh and that China Melamine case thing is so annoying. I'm practically starring at my packets of Dutch Lady milk in my fridge every night wanting to drink it... >.<

=)

2008-09-21T23:11:00.003+08:00

Wow. After a few weeks, I'd finally able to return home from the mosque with a smile. =)

The F1 road diversion seems to be very interesting, especially since it's occurring during the weekdays. Maybe I'll enjoy it after school soon.

And the radio is bombarded with Hari Raya Music. 3 weeks seems to past by so fast (no pun intended) and it's almost Hari Raya. =/

Oh! And KPE is finally open. And I got two words for it - ERP galore. There's a total of 16 gantries along the entire stretch of that expressway. =D What a way to spend money....

Pissed off....

2008-09-20T21:39:00.003+08:00

I'm pissed off. Do you know why I'm pissed off? Because some people just test my patience.

A visit to a nearby 7-Eleven store. On my way to the Gulp Drink Dispenser, I took a lid for the Big Gulp on my way so that I won't have to travel back and forth with a cup full of gassy drink. The cashier shouted from her counter, "Boy, take that afterwards." I replied, "I know what I'm doing." Yet she still approached me to the Drink Dispenser. "Boy, let me get the drink for you. Which drink do you one?" "It's okay, let me do this myself." "Just tell me which drink you one!" I backed her off slightly and she accidentally touched the inner surface of the lid I took. I dispensed the ice into the cup myself as she still stood next to me but I dare not look at her. I went for the Cola and then the Sprite followed by the Grape. The cup was 7/8 full. I reached out for the Cola again. Then, she immediately swiped the cup off my hands. "Let me do this for you." She dispensed a bit of Cola, an bit of Sprite and a bit of Grape, covered the cup with the lid I took and immediately asked for $1.60 at that particular spot next to the Drink Dispenser. I gave her an angry scowl, flicked open my wallet and gave her a $2-note. I dare not look at her face, even when she gave back the change. I exit the store, and threw the Gulp at the thrash bin right outside the door. She contaminated the drink. I'm so not going to go back to that non-24hr 7-Eleven ever again.

In honour of Great Eastern's 100th Aniversary,

Sex and the Olympic city

Sex and the Olympic city

Tomorrow night thousands of young men and women with the most fit, toned bodies in the world will mingle for the last time before they fly home. What might they get up to?

~ Matthew Syed

I am often asked if the Olympic village - the vast restaurant and housing conglomeration that hosts the world's top athletes for the duration of the Games - is the sex-fest it is cracked up to be. My answer is always the same: too right it is. I played my first Games in Barcelona in 1992 and got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life up to that point. That is to say twice, which may not sound a lot, but for a 21-year-old undergraduate with crooked teeth, it was a minor miracle.

Barcelona was, for many of us Olympic virgins, as much about sex as it was about sport. There were the gorgeous hostesses - there to assist the athletes - in their bright yellow shirts and black skirts; there were the indigenous lovelies who came to watch the competitions. And then there were the female athletes - literally thousands of them - strutting, shimmying, sashaying and jogging around the village, clad in Lycra and exposing yard upon yard of shiny, toned, rippling and unimaginably exotic flesh. Women from all the countries of the world: muscular, virile, athletic and oozing oestrogen. I spent so much time in a state of lust that I could have passed out. Indeed, for all I knew I did pass out - in a place like that how was one to tell the difference between dreamland and reality?

It was not just the guys. The women, too, seemed in thrall to their hormones, throwing around daring glances and dynamite smiles like confetti. No meal or coffee break was complete without a breathless conversation with a lithe long jumper from Cuba or an Amazonian badminton player from Sweden, the mutual longing so evident it was almost comical. It was an effort of will to keep everything in check until competition had finished. But, once we were eliminated from our respective competitions, we lunged at each other like suicidal fencers. There may have been a fair amount of gay sex going on, too - but given the notorious homophobia in sport it was rather more covert.

This sex fest was not limited to Barcelona: the same thing happened in Sydney in 2000, my second Olympics as an athlete, and is happening right here in Beijing, where this time I'm a commentator. I spoke to an Aussie table tennis player this week to check out the village vibe and he launched into the breathless patter common to any Olympic debutant: “It is unbelievable in there; everyone is totally crazy once they are out of their competitions. God knows what it is going to be like this weekend. It is like a world within a world.” A British runner (anonymous again: athletes are not supposed to talk to journalists unaccompanied by a PR type, least of all about sex) said: “The swimmers finished earlier in the week and it was like there was an eruption.”

Ah yes, the swimmers. For some reason the International Olympic Committee insists on bunching the swimming events towards the beginning of the Games with the inevitable consequence that the aquatics folk get going earlier - sexually I mean - than everyone else. So much so that, at the outset of the Sydney Olympics, Jonathan Edwards, a Christian and triple jumper extraordinaire, caused a ripple by telling them publicly to keep a lid on it. Edwards was simply concerned about getting woken up by creaking floorboards, but given his biblical credentials, it became a story about morality. Not that his intervention made a blind bit of difference. There is a famous story from Seoul in 1988 that there were so many used condoms on the roof terrace of the British team's residential block the night after the swimming concluded that the British Olympic Association sent out an edict banning outdoor sex. Here in Beijing, organisers have realised that such prohibitions are about as useful as banning breathing and have, instead, handed out thousands of free condoms to the athletes. If you can't stop 'em, at least make it safe.

Which all begs a question, or possibly many questions. First, and most importantly, how can one get access to the village? The bad news is that you can't, unless, of course, you happen to be an athlete with the relevant accreditation. But secondly, where does this furnace of sexual energy come from? Or, to put it another way, why do sportsmen and women have such explosive libidos? I am not implying, for one moment, that every athlete in Beijing is at it. Just that 99 per cent of them are.

Before we get to that, however, it is worth noting an intriguing dichotomy between the sexes in respect of all this coupling. The chaps who win gold medals - even those as geeky as Michael Phelps - are the principal objects of desire for many female athletes. There is something about sporting success that makes a certain type of woman go crazy - smiling, flirting and sometimes even grabbing at the chaps who have done the business in the pool or on the track. An Olympic gold medal is not merely a route to fame and fortune; it is also a surefire ticket to writhe.

But - and this is the thing - success does not work both ways. Gold-medal winning female athletes are not looked upon by male athletes with any more desire than those who flunked out in the first round. It is sometimes even considered a defect, as if there is something downright unfeminine about all that striving, fist pumping and incontinent sweating. Sport, in this respect, is a reflection of wider society, where male success is a universal desirable whereas female success is sexually ambiguous. I do not condone this phenomenon, merely note it. Not all athletes are finely tuned specimens of perfect physical health, of course. A fair number are smokers, not prepared to give up despite the nagging of coaches and physiologists. At Barcelona, there was an area where the puffers would congregate near the transport mall. At the table tennis events in Beijing, a male player from Serbia and another from Greece have often been out catching a drag during breaks in play.

But let us get back to all the sex going down in the village. One possible explanation centres on the fact that Olympic athletes have to display an unnatural (and, it has to be said, wholly unhealthy) level of self-discipline in the build-up to big competitions. How else is this going to manifest itself than with a volcanic release of pent-up hedonism? It is a common sight to see recently knocked-out athletes gorging on Magnums and McDonald's, swilling alcohol and, of course, shagging like crazy. Sometimes all three at the same time. Yet this can be only a part of the explanation because most of the athletes I know are as up for it before and during competition as they are in the immediate aftermath. It is as if sportsmen and women have a higher base level of sexual energy. But why? Can it be that one of the underlying drivers of sporting greatness is also the very thing that produces an overactive sex drive?

If so, you can bet your Olympic accreditation that testosterone is implicated. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for many of the differences between the sexes and is also a key physiological driver of aggression, competitiveness and virility. This is particularly so with regard to women. The dual effect of testosterone on female sporting performance and sexuality was demonstrated - somewhat sinisterly - during the state-sponsored doping programme in East Germany. An average teenage girl produces around half a milligram of testosterone per day. In the mid-1980s German female athletes were doped with around 30 milligrams of androgenic steroids per day. The effect on sporting performance was breathtaking - East German women dominated the world in swimming and athletics - but it also produced libidos (according to the testimony of the athletes themselves) that spiraled out of control.

This is not to say that the athletes in the village are all on steroids, or that elevated levels of testosterone inevitably lead to lots of sex. It is merely to say that, at a population level, higher naturally occurring levels of testosterone in both genders would provide a powerful explanation for the combination of sporting prowess and sexual potency.

I also think it is significant that, for most athletes, the village is thousands of miles from home. The old “what goes on tour stays on tour” mantra is still alive and kicking, not just in sport but beyond. There is something deepseated in humanity that leads us to play by different rules whenever we leave town, a phenomenon that has caused instances of terrible inhumanity. When it comes to sex, it simply means that those in relationships no longer recognise, or at least ignore, the boundaries of fidelity and honesty that underpin human monogamy. Philosophers call it moral relativism; the rest of us call it hypocrisy.

There is also a Darwinian component to this. Scientists have measured, for example, how male fertility varies with distance from one's habitual partner. And guess what? According to a report in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, a man's sperm count doubles when he spends a lot of time on the road - up from 389 million sperm per ejaculate to 712 million. Which, I am sure you will agree, is a lot of extra sperm.

I suggest that it is the coming together (if you will forgive the expression) of these factors that creates such an explosive sexual cocktail within the security-controlled perimeter of the Olympic village. Not that this is a bad thing. I have always regarded sexual promiscuity - for a single person at least - as a basic human right, even if it is no panacea for happiness or, indeed, anything else. Of course, many athletes will abstain, others may even disapprove. Only one thing is certain: they will never again enter a place quite like the Olympic village. Not, at least, until London 2012.

This Week This Month

2008-08-21T21:17:00.001+08:00

Nothing much occurred this week. It's either at school studying, doing my art, or watching olympics.

Speaking of which, what's with the fetish over ping-pong these past few days? =.=

Anyways, I'm so not gonna miss out Tom Daley tmr night in the 10m Diving Singles. Rock on dude!

Tidbit

2008-08-15T20:14:00.002+08:00

An interesting tidbit, especially with the orals and so on...

Breathing in through your nose and breathing out through your nose will help you calm your nerves and reduce nervousness.
Breathing in through your nose and breathing out through your mouth will help you release your anger.
Breathing in through your mouth and breathing out through your nose will help you activate your brain.
Breathing in through your mouth and breathing out through your mouth will help you ease your pain.

Leo showed us an interesting video this morning; something about the Catholic-Protestant Conflict.

Anyways, Orals today was okay I guess...no hard words for reading, pretty much described the picture thoroughly and conversed well in the conversation, with the same question as the one I was tested for in Prelim 1.

Describe your participation in a competition.
Why do children play computer?

And yes, SPERMS ARE SACRED!!!

Shocking, no?

Beijing provides 100,000 condoms to athletes

The trend of distributing condoms started at the Barcelona Olympics, and it continued in Sydney and Athens, and now Beijing is doing it. The country has distributed more than 100,000 condoms to athletes.
Barcelona distributed free condoms to participating athletes in 1992 to raise HIV/AIDS awareness. At the Sydney Olympics, officials also distributed about 70,000 condoms, but ran out and had to order 20,000 more condoms.

The Foundation for AIDS Research, amfAR, distributed 100,000 condoms at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002, but originally they had planned to distribute 250,000 condoms. After religious groups in Utah protested, organizers had to scale back and distribute fewer condoms.

At Athens Olympics in 2004, about 130,000 condoms were distributed.

Beijing wants to do the same for the more than 10,500 athletes that are participating in the Olympics. UNAIDS, the Beijing organizing committee BOCOG and International Olympics Committee (IOC) are supplying 100,000 condoms as part of a campaign on HIV prevention and anti-discrimination.

Prostitution is not allowed in China, but organizers know they can’t prevent sexual activities within the Olympic village, so the least they can do is promote safe sex.

Ole Hansen, spokesman for UNAIDS China, told Reuters: "There are many young, strong, single people in the athletes' village and, like everywhere, some will fall in love or other things so we need to make condoms available…A lot of these young people are not married or in relationships so we want to make sure they have the information and tools to protect themselves if they have sexual encounters."

Hansen said condoms will be available at the medical centers and athletes’ centers. Since the athletes represent various religions, and some may be offended by providing condoms directly to them, organizers are providing two condoms discretely inside a brochure about HIV.

Athletes can take as many brochures as they like and give them to their friends or teammates, according to Hansen.

Lucky people... >.< I wonder if this happens in the Singapore Sports School... T.T What will Singapore do in the 2010 YOG? Free Condoms?

Ooh! I wonder if that 14 year old Tom Daley had (or is having) sex in Beijing.... >.>

Anyways, orals tmr......sianz....

2008-08-11T23:50:00.002+08:00

Monday afternoon in Weng Keong's house... I think it's the only time I went out of my house during this four days weekend - been watching tv, slacking, sleeping, playing pokemon and stuff... mostly sleeping.

Anyways, I never thought of it before, but apparently this question randomly popped out in my head this afternoon after I left Weng's house. Thanks for the invite btw.

"Am I really lucky?"

Hasif approached me a few weeks ago stating his jealousy of how people our age (14 to 16), in the secondary school age group can turn out to be famous and popular to the public, not only to the country, but to the world especially those Disney Channel Stars like Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Sprouse twins and so on. They're our age and they are having a shot at fame, while we are here studying our asses off in school.

I didn't really thought about it before, cuz I'm so bleh in those famous celebs and they're famous mostly due to lineage and heritage, but after seeing this young chap competiting in the beijiing olympics today, I wondered, "Will I ever have a shot at fame?"

Apparently, that chap from Great Britain is only 14 years old and he's competing in the Olympics Men 10m Platform Finals. One word: Wow! And the thing is, he hasn't even broken his voice yet. Yet he still has that muscular sexy and appealing body.

Before I dive (no pun intended) into another jealousy topic, I found out he's one of the youngest and best divers in Britain, diving since he was 7 and won the title as Youngest Sportsman in 2003 by BBC.

So, sports... is it another ticket to fame? Apparently he is famous, mostly because of his sexy appeals and accomplishments at such a young age.

Do you see my face at the library stating that? =.= Guess the thing I'm more jealous at is the sporting abilities, which is *ahem* *ahem* to me. Do you see any smart people being famous? What about those Presidents Scholars listed at the back of the hall? You hardly ever heard of them and they're smart. So does that mean intelligence doesn't lead to fame?

Do you hear me saying that people walking past me will say "Oh! It's MUSLI!" sarcastically?

NO!

Yah, and he DOES looks like Ernest... T.T Somehow, I heard from someone that there's two to three other people in the world who looks exactly like you...makes me wonder who looks like me...

OMG! New surprise of the year:

Apparently 225 now has DDs on both sides. One on 225G and another on 225W. O.O

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

Anyways, was damn tyco last Saturday. Just like last year's NDP, I reached Esplanade Bridge at the right time to see the fireworks during the Chingay Parade. xD Haha.

Yeah. And my birthday was yesterday. My mom bought pizza for me. =/ Oh! And I found out that I have the same birthdate as Paris Hilton. ^^ Just by a difference of 11 years. =P

TDDay

2008-02-15T19:09:00.000+08:00

Hah. Today was crap. Like really crap. With uniform and stuff... >.<

I actually planned on blogging yesterday about Valentines Day, but I guess I'll let it slip. =/ Me no valentine, but others 'got'. But seriously, I dont think a relationship should be based on just a single day. It should be ongoing, not restricted to just Valentines Day. Don't you agree?

Anyways, went joyriding after school. Went to Pasir Ris and boarded Double-deck Svc 5! =D And so when it reaches Simei Rd there at around 4, I was like, what's the odds of me seeing Hasif going home then? And it's obviously very slim. And so the bus turned into Simei St 3, stopped at Hasif's stop, and I looked around; not there and I was like, I knew it. But then as the bus proceed, I was like OMFG I was right. xD I saw his retardedly sianned face and he was walking back home into his estate from the MRT Station.

At the brink of laughter with the amazing coincidence and luck that I guessed something correctly, until I realise I'm in public, and laughing alone would make others think I'm a maniac.

But seriously, I'm still in awe.

Anways, reached school at 6.30am today. Met Shervin, Yun Han, Yong Jie, and various others in the bus to school. It's really surprising to see that many people up and early to get to school just because they were forced to wear their uniforms during Total Defence Day. It's weird to see one-seventh of the school's population already in school at 6.30 in the morning. =/

Haha. But then Nawawi was late and Joshua forgot to bring the key. So we had to wait and stuff before we could change. But after settling certain things, went up to P^2.

The parade, the presentations, then off to class.

SS. Last minute help from Leo. He listed out 6 questions, of which 2 will appear in the CA next Monday.

Damn it. CA is next Monday. >.< Grrr...

Anyways, recess, changed back to school uniform, then Chem Prac. So and so.

Then mosqued. And the mosque feels surprisingly spacious since Farhan didn't come to school today. xD Even Hanif agreed.

Slacke in school for a while after that before heading off to Pasir Ris for a joyride.

36, 53, 5, 16, 63

5 buses in total, 4 hours wasted, but cost - free. I heart concession travel. =D

Anyways, finally learnt the art of the Rubik's Cube. Thanks Alphonsus! =D

And because of that, I'm in a good mood. Hopefully it will stay that way during tmr's SLC meeting. xD

Friday was quite idiotic... In a sense. Because of the holidays, most people are home (not at work) and when there's Friday Prayers, more people will visit the mosques closer to home. And because of that, the mosque I went to was so damn bloody crowded that we had to close the road just for the prayers. And even so, there wasn't enough tarp to lay on the floor, so I had to pray on the hot sun-drenched road which gave me blisters on the foot, my palm and my forehead. >.< The crowd is similar to the Hari Raya crowd at the mosque. =.="

And Endy was there too. =/ But he was on the tarp. >.<

Anyways, spent the day joyriding after that. ^^ Stress relief.

Hah. And what a blast it is for Chinese New Year. Staying at home on a Saturday, doing nothing except to rot away in front of the television.

Fortunately, CableTV is indeed prosperous to me. xP Haha.

Just finished a frenzy of movies from Pirates to X-men to Harry Potter. Ended off with Tokyo Drift, and boy, it was so nostalgic. ^^ I miss Japan... The funky characters on the billboards that you can't understand, the liveliness of the night that surpasses the day, ooh and the 'hot-n-cheo-ness' there... Aah. Oh wells.

Lol. I just remembered, all that eye-candy reminded me that Hasif's new suan is 'cuci mata' aka 'wash your eyes' cuz he always washes his eyes after seeing 'hot-n-cheo-ness' with more 'hot-n-cheo-ness'. xP Haha. How gatal kids nowadays can be. xD

Anyways, now I'm watching National Geographic on some Wild Animal Sex thing. Quite interesting really. They just featured some freshwater worm that have some sort of 'unique' sex. The eggs hatched are can be either male or female. Those that hatch away from the mother are females, but those who hatch near the mother, gets eaten by the mother, which secretes some enzymes which turns them into males. The males stay in the mothers ovary, up to 20 can live in there at any one time, and their only rental fee to stay there is to have sex with the mother. xD

HAHAHA!!! How wrong is that?!! xD

Anyways, I have to go. Now they're featuring snails corpulating. ^^ Hmmm... reminds me of some incient last year. ^.o

Oh my God, I'm gonna be so fucking late!!!!!

And I so have to get started on my homework... T_T Damn it. Holiday mood is on already. >.<

Valentines Day Blues

2008-02-07T19:17:00.000+08:00

Haiz. Stupaid radio, keeps on playing emo love songs. >.<

Omg. I seriously cant believe that whatever that dog told me is so stuck in my head. Eergh. When does all this started? I guess last week? Or is it last year.

Damn it. I was oblivious for months. Aah!

Can’t help it, but I guess I really am jealous. Even though I really hate to admit it. Jealous of that annoying bitch of a dog.

Baka gf stealer. Having affairs with the one I’m targeting. What happened was I saw this girl during OBS. Got too scared to ask. And she got stuck in that bitch’s group. And in the end, he got her. And it’s still on till today.

And the worse part of it, I just recently found out. Bitch. Show off. Idiot.

And I seriously cant believe how he, of all people, can be in a relationship, especially when he’s THAT annoying of a bitch. I cant imagine him sweet-talking or having a relationship, when he was the one who pranked called Johan’s cell, pretended his gf had a body equivalent to the one on the 8days cover, and keeps on ranting about other people’s relationships, of which you find out by reading their phones.

Bitch. Idiot snob.

You, who happens to steal every gf others broken up with, with your two shoulders of comfort say your third was a chinese? And this is like your tenth? Or so I ask. >.< And you’re still looking for more. Still have the nerves to use them as play-things. What do you think this is? Numbers are important to you is it? Idiot.

Snob. Bitch.

And not only him, eveywhere I look, someones guaranteed to be in one, or seeking one. Can I say that I’m out of a certain social circle? One that exists a long time ago and I happened to find out recently?

And worst of all, cant believe I’m thinking about this during my O-level year.

Stupid bitch. Thanks for getting this crap called jealousy in my head. Idiot dog.

Damn it. I need a friend. >.<

Valentines Day blues.

Happy CNY!

Disenchanted
by My Chemical Romance

Well I was there on the day
They sold the cause for the queen,
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen.
I hate the ending myself,
But it started with an alright scene.

It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing.
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, "you won't feel a thing"
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard, it would sting

Yeah yeah, oh

If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamned thing.

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to you

I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I could watch all my heroes
Sell a car on tv
Bring out the old guillotine
We'll show 'em what we all mean.

Yeah yeah, oh

If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter long after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamned thing.

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya

So go, go away, just go, run, run away.
But where did you run to? And where did you hide?
Go find another way, price you pay

Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya, come on

You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to you

At all, at all, at all, at all

Okay, I know I should be jealous right now, but I'm not because even though I saw her first and she got stolen by someone close to me and all, I know shouldn't be jealous or mad, and I am, because I'm not jeal-ing or angry!!!

Hmmmm. Kay. Got a stupid B3 for my Malay Os. Same like Qamarul apparently. xD Haha. 4D Tradition I guess. xP

And what's more frightening is that I've found out that all my sisters, too scored B3 for their Malay exams! o.o Whoa! It's like destiny or something.... But if it's destiny, I'm in a position to be nervous because all my sisters, and my parents, all went to Poly after the Os. And if destiny makes me choose the Poly path, that will be quite bad... =(

In words of someone, Be afraid, be very afraid... *glomps*

Le sigh...

And what a high expectation the school has set for us because of this year's 'Best results in the history of VS' standards. >.<

Anyways, today was the celebratory part of the O-Level results release. The whole school was released at 9am. And with the announcements and all being dragged till 8, there was only one hour of lesson left. ^^

A.Maths. T_T With E.T. =.=" Haha. But we just call her Mrs. Puff, from SBSP, because doesn't she look like her? Haha. xD But some call her Raichu too, I don't know why. xD

Anyways, had our Differentiation test, which the 4H people said was f-ing easy, but it's so NOT! With questions 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e and 2 as warm-ups, question 3 and 4 are the killers with the most marks. WTH? There's Factor Theorem selit in the middle of the test!! >.<

Damn it. Anyways, met up with Hasif at the canteen after dismissal. Then waited for Farhan. After 10 minutes or so, we found him and he wanted to watch the auditions for Talent Quest. =/ Haha. I seriously can't imagine Bobo singing 'Won't Go Home Without You' by Maroon 5. xD

Anyways, the auditions haven't started yet, so we left for Parkway and left Nawawi an SMS to meet us there. Big mistake. It was only 9.30 and we all forgot that the mall opens at 10. =.=" Haha. Went to the 24hr McDonalds to find the area swamped with Victorians! o.o We just sat in there and slacked till 10. Farhan ate a Big Breakfast.

10 o'clock, went over to KFC. Then Nawawi came with Joshua, Fungus and Jervin, and we (Josh, Hasif, Farhan and me) ordered that Golden Family Feast thingy, which is so not worth it. 2pc chicken per person, one shrimp per person, one coke per person, a shared whipped potato and shared coleslaw, shared 6pc nuggets, shared popcorn chicken for $7.30!! o.o

OMG! That's so ex!!! *shiftyeyes* Oh ya. And Farhan DID eat again. xD

After which the 4B people went to play pool, which the four of us surveyed Parkway Parade. Checked out various stalls there; too many to remember. But for two hours. xD Met various ppl there. xD Too many to remember. Haha.

And I'm aiming to buy that chic Samsung G800!! It's seriously uber. With an uber price of $700!

Oh ya. And Hasif phone, Sony Ericsson w900i, dropped in price by $200. xD Haha. We were suanning Nawawi to get the Nokia 6110 Navigator phone, because he's always lost and his phone is currently being sold at the second hand store. xD Anyways, went to Borders too. But when we went to the Literature section, Nawawi got all confuzzled with all the chim-iologies. xD And he said so himself. xP

Then bought a cute ball from Royal Sporting House for $11 after a 50% discount. =/ Cool. We left the place at 12.30pm for the mosque.

Reached school, placed our bags in the PSB room then off to the mosque.

Pointy pointy! xD

Lols. After prayers, went to play soccer with that mini-ball till 4-ish. Then slacked/study/play till almost 6. Then went home.

Ooh! And both Nawawi and Hasif that the Scannia K230UB looks f-ing cool. And I so agree!

See. Isn't it cooler that it's now on Service 60?! =D Haha.

Train disruptions

2008-01-22T21:43:00.000+08:00

OMG! I fell in love with the moon tonight.
It's so uber prettiful, the view outside my window. (: Lub it.

And yay! I finally managed to joyride on the Double Deck Svc 5 just now!!! =D

Whee! I'm so happy because of that. xD

Anyways, I'm here to blog about yesterday's MRT incident.

Source A
SMRT Website Press Release

MRT TRAIN SERVICE DISRUPTION

1. On 21 January 2008, there were no westbound and eastbound train services
between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah MRT stations from the start of train service
at 5.28am till 12.45pm. The disruption was caused by the breakdown of a
maintenance works train which was carrying out works between Tampines and
Simei (westbound) MRT stations. There were some damages to the maintenance
works train and we are investigating the cause.

2. During the delay period, eastbound trains were turned around at Tanah Merah
MRT Station. Bus bridging services were activated to ferry passengers between
Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah MRT stations. The first bus arrived at Pasir Ris MRT
Station at 5.38am, and the first bus arrived at Tanah Merah MRT Station at
5.48am. In total, 40 SMRT buses and 30 SBST buses were deployed during the
disruption to ferry passengers between Pasir Ris, Tampines, Simei and Tanah
Merah MRT stations.

3. In addition, from 8.28am, westbound shuttle trains serving Tampines, Simei and
Tanah Merah MRT stations were operated at a 28-minute interval to ease
passenger flow at Tampines and Simei MRT stations.

4. Passengers were informed of the service disruption and the free bus bridging
services through train and station announcements, notices and rail travel
information system in the stations as well as broadcast channels.

5. Both westbound and eastbound train services between Pasir Ris and Tanah
Merah MRT stations resumed at 12.45pm. About 57,000 passengers traveling
between Pasir Ris and Tanah Merah MRT stations were affected.

6. Passengers who were unable to complete their journeys due to the disruption can
claim a full fare refund from the Passenger Service Centre in any of the 51 SMRT
stations, within the next three working days (from today till 24 January 2008).

7. SMRT apologises for the inconvenience caused.

The Accident

^The rail grinder collided into a flatbed trailer which is parked on the tracks.

Personal Responce of ZYX

heres a summary of incidents on jan 21 In my opinion and really in my opinion and boy am i not happy opinions

OWN OPINIONS
once upon a night, when smrt are running maintenace trains on their MRT line fixing crooked rails and welding them straight, tightening loose rivets and welding tracks thhat have a huge gap after the days xpansion and retraction, a signalling fault occurs.

Then a bed pan train used to take up replaced track material rolls into the path of the mainenace train. maintenace trains rolls on then...at 340am BANG. the collisions between he two maintenace locommotives woke residents up in Simei. (news)

at 538am SMRT finds that it cannot run train service between Tanah merah and Pasir ris stations due to the two broken things left on track. o it calls up 40 of its spare fleet and rings up SBS to ask for help.
END OF OPINIONS and ASUMPTIONS

by then the press had gotten news of the incident and they sent a staement out saying that it is some mechanical ault n we are investigating.

by 7am crowds throng the stations in the east like the scenes of the Paris train strikes - where they stopped train services whilst on strike. SMRT offered no help in chiense language. many were left wondering what happened. the buses sent were not enough to meet crowd demands

after this incident i have formed the opinion that smrt are covering their ***ses and not owning up to a seriuos industrail type incident and are trying to avoid the maximum 1 million fine to be impsoed. i am indeed in poor opinion of SMRT now. Also on the other hand the media could be at fault for repoting that the incident was a mechanical fault and not a clear industrial accident. and in the way they saboh SMRT. both english n chiense dailies reported unknown causes.

For now i guess we could either beleive the media or stete the opinion that its an accident like i did

Misc. Comments

Westbound shuttle trains were also put into place at a 28—minute interval to ease passenger flow at Tampines and Simei MRT stations.

The trains changed platform that morning (Westbound train changing into the middle and/or Eastbound platforms momentarily)

It thinks it's quite dumb la. Suicide cases end much faster. And the only reason why it took 6 to 7 hours is that the train keeps on getting stuck here and there at Tampines area. They could have towed from the front, but the front part is dangling loose.

According to CNA, "Residents living next to the MRT tracks where the disruption occurred (Simei residents), told Channel NewsAsia that they heard a loud sound on the tracks before dawn. SMRT said there were some damages to the maintenance works train."

And this is a rare, once in a blue moon occasion when SBST helps out SMRT in a troublesome situation. =/

Lol. Maintanence train now needs maintanence. And don't the train looks as if Superman triedto stop it on its tracks? xD

A long hiatus

2008-01-17T23:02:00.000+08:00

Nawawi: Hasif, you should really learn Biology.
Hasif: You should really learn English.
Me: Please, he does Maths during English. And yet he still gets 8/100.

After a long hiatus, I'm back to blogging. I think. Expecting more blog hiatuses in the near future. Too darn busy.

But maybe I'm lazy too. xD Oh wells. But the thought of blogging still lives though. Just that time may not, and in fact, did not, allow me to blog. Ideas there, but guess I could blog it out. =( Oh wells. Been like that since Monday. =P

Guess the prominent things that occurred this year, other than the third time going for Sec 1 Camp, is simply what happened today. Not the idiotic fire drill where the fire is burning at the band room, but simply Hasif's imba triple cross across the balcony. xD

What happened that he accidentally hit a high ball over the edge of the Parade Square, and it somehow happens to land onto the corridor railings outside of 3J, bounce and hit the railing outside 3I, and somehow lands itself on the corridor itself. Heart was pouncing all the way. Yet I'm so thankful that it didn't drop.

Haha. First was the smashing of one of the hostel windows, then that. All happened today. xD Haha.

Can't remember much of the past few days. Just that I reliased that I cannot live without my daily dosage of proper 8 hours of sleep. If not, I'll go giddy all day and feel like fainting. And with AEP after school time and time again, I can't handle the situation.

Speaking of AEP, remind me to do more research. =/ The VAT is really effed-up but I guess I need to do it well so as to use it as my Humanities subject...

Oh ya! I remembered something. The weather has been so freaky these days. And I actually saw the lightning striking those metal bars at the hostel there on Monday. Freaky. And that immense storm on Tuesday afternoon, not only made me lose all concentration on the stupid Higher Malay mock exam, but also struck the cable ski poles/wires. Now it's malfunctioning, hence certain classes has their trips cancelled. All I can say is that, I'm glad mine is next term. =D

Back to homework. Still haven't mugged yet since the year started. Oh wells. =( Hope I can get started soon.

Oh yes! Help me out with this guys. I'm doing a survey to find out whether Victorians prefer ESP or NSP and which one's they'll go for?. Currently, the ratio of ESP to NSP is 5:3.

HELP ME PROMOTE! ESPECIALLY YOU DANIAL!!!!!!!!! =DDDD

Oh ya! And try to avoid Farhan #10. He has a tendancy to suddenly pull your dick even without him noticing. xP

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hmph. New episode of avatar has aired in Canada last Friday. Next one, hopefully will come out on the 11th Jan. Hopefully.

Anyways, received the Art Papers already. Still stressed out about them but I'll get I'll procrastinate this stressfulness till the weekends. =/

And the teachers were mood swinging today. ET, Leow, Setho...all PMS all over us like crazy. >.< Haiz... seriously, why do we get the old aunties of teachers for most of the subjects?

Sianz...

Better start cracking on those homework and revision. Even though some were completed in the midst of the boring, slash, PMS-ful lessons today...

I'll guess I'll end of with this cool AMV I stumbled upon recently.

S1 Camp

2008-01-06T14:25:00.000+08:00

Whoa! That was a nice and refreshing 21 hours of sleep I had from 5pm to 2pm just now!

Why so tired? Duh, school has started. And of course, because me and Alph selit during the Sec 1 Camp.

Took cab there after buying tons of coffee from Parkway Parade. Dont bother asking whats the cab fare. Lets just say that it was slightly more expensive than what the Leaders have to pay for the camp... xP The driver was kind enough to send us there even though he had to go to Tampines afterwards. xD Lols.

But it was fun indeed. Everyone there was stunned to see us and was like, "How do you get here?" and stuff... And the campfire was uber. Haha. The Sec 1s are generally hyped up thanks to the leaders.

Dunno whether it is a good thing or not, because on the positive end, the Sec 1s had fun, but on the negative side, the SLs showed too much of thier fun side to the '09 batch of Veloci-T. Hmmm... maybe I'm thinking too much, but oh wells. Veloci-T this year from 3rd Nov to 14th Nov. That freaking hell 11 days!!!

Sick ah!

Lols. Bridge club. Didn't sleep at all till 4.50am that night. Then woke up at 6am. ^^ So fun, playing and teaching bridge to them...

Oh, and I finally recieved teachings of the cube from Mr. Ice Cube! =D Yay!

< random>
You cross breed a guy from Iceland and another from Cuba, and you get an Ice Cube...
< /random>

Lols. Reggie and Fadhil were super hilarious that night after the campfire. It was like we were watching live Television... xD Haha...

Anyways, what's done is done. Time to finish my homework...

But before that, let's cherish the moment of my big words in bold from the previous post!

Yay! I'm still hyped up over it. And I can't wait to joyride on it!! =D

And I'm so not gonna eat Fish & Co. again for another 10 months. Especially since our ATM pang-seied us after the meal... >.<

First Day of Sch

2008-01-02T23:01:00.000+08:00

AAAHH!! SVC 5 FINALLY HAS DOUBLE DECK BUSES!!! 8D

First day of school... damn jialat. =/ Every single teacher who came into our class keeps on crapping the same thing that sec 4 is a very important year and that time will whizz past quickyly and before you know it, you're already in the examination hall...

Yar...

And Setho is as worse as Leow. And I have a feeling that Esther Teo will be the same too. >.< Haiz... 4 subjects need to self study. Damn jialat...

Sianz... First AND second, or make that second AND third, O-Level paper will be given next Monday. =/ Art papers. Sianz. The framework given for us to finish the papers even more jialat. So many things to do, so little time. And that's only for AEP, there's still other subjects, especially the one needed for self-study, and not to forget, SLC and SLI...

AEP Coursework. Dunno what to do. =/ Recommended to do painting, but hell with it, I'm not that good in painting. The only reason that my painting was good in Sec 2 is that Joel guided me through. Haiz... Maybe I'll just do some Animation Video or something. I'll prefer to do things on the computer though. xD But even animation itself is jialat. What more an animation video... >.<

And I don't know whether to choose Drawing & Painting paper or Study Of Visual Arts paper for O-Levels. Both has their advantages and disadvantages, and I'm recommended to take Painting, again I'm hesitant because of the reason above. Then again, the SOVA is uber difficult to begin with, especially since I lack Sec 1 and Sec 2 AEP experience... >.<

Haiz...

Sec 1 Camp tmr. Have fun to those going. The reds and blacks always have fun at Sec 1 Camp! =D I'll may be ~~selit-ing~~ joining you all for Campfire Night on Friday. ^^

And for those of you who don't know, selit means being extra.

Looking back...

2008-01-01T00:52:00.001+08:00

First post of the year. Hahax. =P

Happy New Years Day

Still appalled at the new timetable. =/ What it can't be helped really. Guess it just means more self-study required. Haiz...

2007 Top 100 at 987fm a few hours ago. I guess the only song that can remind me of 2007 is Umbrella by Rihanna. =P Haha. Around 10 weeks topping the charts if I'm not mistaken. Could be more, could be less, but I know it is for a long time, and many love its tune. That's something to cherish about the year.

Stalxercise. One new pastime I had made on 2007. Certainly enjoyed it, especially since it can be incorporated with joyriding. Lols. ^.^

Looking back, I guess 2007 has been a blast. Despite its stressful-ness, I enjoyed the ride through. Raped during Sea Comp, had fun during PSLTC + OBS, $500 for my wonderful achievements for my studies... and the list goes on. I enjoyed it. And I'll stay at that.

I know I'm kinda an hour late to make my new years resolution. Lols. Too busy watching X-men Trilogy at Star Movies. xD But seriously, I don't really have much resolutions to hope for for 2008. Any, for that matter. I'll just enjoy the ride through the next 266 days just like what I have done for the past few years. Yup, 266 because it's a leap year.

But I guess this one resolution takes priority over anything else. I thing I hope for...

Let us not part too far after Graduation. (:

By us, I mean the friends I had made in school for the past 3 years. That's the sad truth of friendship. Parting after 4 grand years in a fine institution... Even if you go to same schools, it still means parting with others, because it's not possible for everyone to go to the same school again. It's not academically possible. That's what I hate about being smarter than certain people. It's a guaranteed sign that you will part after graduation. =( Haiz... Thinking about it makes me feel unwilling to go through 2008. =/

Anyways, that's my lone resolution of the year. ^^ Other than that, I'll just enjoy the ride despite its ups and downs.

Clean Up

Jun Cheng:Fingernails has become a new delicacy. T_T

True enough. Many people seems to be 'biting' everywhere you go. xD Lols.

Anyways, finally got my lazy ass to clean up the room. And in the midst of things, I'd found loads of crap in my room. T_T Just found an old sachet of Breast Enchancement Cream under my bed.... >.<

Lols? Haiz...

Can't believe I missed the MCR Concert last night... Damn. Can't believe I'm already broke out of my Hari Raya Money... >.< Oh wells. I'll be getting my Scholarship on 30th December. Can't wait. xD

Oh damn... my dad just confiscated the light bulb in my room just because I forgot to save electricity time and time again... =.= Now it's like, in total darkness, and I have yet to finish cleaning up my room. T__T

OH FCUK!!! I JUST BROKE THE VACUUM CLEANER!!! =KKKK

That's like the 7th time it got broken when either me or my sis uses it. Hah. My dad just cursed us for it. xD And you can't blame me nor my sis for being extra 'strong' in this household.

Lols. I remember that last year, I think, that my sis accidentally broke one part of the water pipe faucet handle in my reflection toilet, and I broke another part of it. xD Now there's like only one part jutting out for the handle... Kekeke...

And I just overheated the water heater in that particular toilet yesterday night... =K Oh damn...

We called my sis 'Wonderwoman' after that incident. Wonder what they'll call me? =/

*police car passes by after OBS*
Me:Look Pamela. Your future job.
Pamela:Please...I don't want to be a driver.

OBS

Haha. I'm still hyper even after OBS. And I got to thank my group for being so bloody hyper ALL THE TIME!!! xD

This particular OBS Camp is like a combined NCC + NPCC Camp under a whole different organisation. =P But who knew NPCC is so much fun? =D

I definately enjoyed myself. And so did Hasif. xD

Oh ya. We were separated into two different groups. I was in Livingstone and he was in Amudsen. Don't ask why the group names are so weird. It's already like that. =.= There's one group named Bo Seng and another Rajaratnam. xD Lol...

Night Before

NCC made us stay overnight at Amoy Quee before heading to OBS the next day. Dont know why they wanted us to do that. But it happened for every batch sent to OBS by NCC. =S

Haha. Anyways, packed late that afternoon. Chiong-ed to barber so that my annoying long hair wont be a disturbance during the camp. Then chiong to Eunos to buy some last min stuff. Then chiong iron clothes. Haha.

Supposed to meet Hasif at 6pm at Kembangan MRT but I met him at 6.40pm. xD But it's okay because we reached Yio Chu Kang at 7.20pm. And we reached Amoy Quee at 7.40pm, which is 20 min earlier. Got another group of St Andrews ppl there and another group of Choa Chu Kang Sec ppl. And all of us don't know where to meet, so we all just stone by the road side in Amoy Quee for like an hour until all 88 ppl are stoning there, then one CLT asked uss what we were doing and he told us to fall in. =.=

Haha. Anyways, that night was damn slack la. Hasif claimed it as the 2nd slackest time he had in HQ, with first being during the BB Adventure Race Quest thingy.... =/ Haha. We got some night snacks and given our bunks by 9. Then got nothing to do until the next morning. =.= Haha. I spammed handphone there and went to sleep.

Hasif: I thought after Senior Spec Course we said we would never come back to HQ NCC again... =/

Meep.

Day 1

Woke up fresh in the morning, brush teeth and assembled by 7. The breakfast then we all ciao to Punggol Jetty.

Stoned there till 9 plus because there was only 2 ferries to ship not only us, but also some other people, including the NPCC peeps... =.=

Reached OBS Camp 2, and then got split up into our groups. Then got camp breifing and then icebreakers. Details of camp not given, claiming that it would be spoilers as to what's up ahead. =.= We were told also that the camp is mainly about expanding your comfort zone, into the challenge zone, but not too far into the danger zone. ^^

Haha. So icebreakers. There were only 14 of us then, cuz Aisyah came in to our group late. We played a stupid game where we had to write your name on a paper, then introduce yourself to someone else, then trade papers, and now that person has to introduce whatever you just said to another person, then trade, and the game goes on.... =.= Lol. Quite fun la.

Pamela:Hi! I'm Rachel. I like to eat Anything. And I like to do Whatever.

Then we got our store room with our tent stuff, cooking stuff and other camping stuff there. Then we got our 5 day food ration, which is more than two containers full of food. =/ Haha.

We had lunch. Which is just some Kaya buns and Muesli Bars. Then on to the first activity! Kayaking! =D

It was then that Aisyah suddenly came. So with 15 people instead of 14, we all can't kayak on doubles. Then everyone pin-pointed me to take the only single kayak, because I was the only one in my group with 2-Star Kayaking Cert. =.= Can't be helped since I'm the only Sea person there. So I agreed. ^^

Kayaking was fun. xD Since two of us never kayaked before, we're back to basics! Recapped the basic strokes, then went for buoyancy test ^^, after which we had that ever enjoyable capsize drill. xP Haha. Then recapped T-Rescue. =D So fun. Especially since I'm on a single kayak. -.-

After all that was done, we did that that 'Standing on Kayak' thingy, which is okay and all if you're on a double kayak. =.= Haha. No choice. Joined in. Got capsized on the first try along with Pamela and Shona. xD 2nd try, all managed to stand up stably, except for Pamela, for when she tried standing up, she let go of the raft, and hence causing the kayak to lose balance and hence capsizing.

Had to rescue them. But by then, we already drifted into the channel! Our instructor told us to bring them closer to shore then resume. But Shona accidentally let go of her kayak when Pamela went in to the kayak, so I had to send her closer to shore using that 'Save the Drowning Swimmer Koala' technique. xD Then resumed rescue.

Haha. But quite suay la. When kayaking with someone on your bow, the kayak got a whole lot heavier and I sprained my lower arm whilst kayaking. =( On the first day, got injury already.... =.= Haha.

We finished everything by 5. Then we went to shower. But since Camp 2 is like super old, the toilets and showers are really 'traditional', but only up to Mawai toilet standards, thank God! =D

Haha. Then dinner. We had to cook our own rice, so it took a while. So we pitched our tents whilst cooking, then ate by our campsite by the sea. ^^ The rice not bad, first time cooking, but it was with the instructor's help. xD Haha...

After dinner, we had to pack for the 2nd day's outing, of which we shall leave Camp 2 and shall not return until Day 4 evening. So we had to pack our clothes, food, ponchos, tents and stuff into the bags conveniently given to us for that purpose. But the bags were like freaking big, so I didn't want to carry it. xD Volunteered to carry the tent bags instead since they are smaller even though they're like TONS heavier.

Then bedtime. Had quite a nice first night there la. =D

Day 2

Woke up at 5-ish. Resumed packing. Then PT! Which is like 2 games and 1 set of 5BX of 10 Push-ups, 10 Crunches, 10 Back-raises, 10 Squats, and 10 Calf Raises. =.= The games I can't remember. But I recall one of them is like twister where the instructor gives us one body part and a colour, and we had to place our body part on another person's clothes or shoes of that colour. And since I'm prominently wearing yellow in the VS PE shirt, I was a MAJOR target when they said "left ear, yellow". T_T

Lol. Anyways, after that, we unpitched our tents, then went for breakfast. And after the final packing is all done, we set out for OBS Camp 1, via hiking. =.= It's around 200m to 400m away, which is okay la, but with our heavy bags, it was a great burden. But that didn't crush our spirits, as we cheered out loud during the hike out to Camp 1.

Camp 1 is made in 1997, so it's really new and stuff. And the toilet rocks! xD Lol.

Went to the MPH for some reflection time and some bonding time where we made a Livingstone cheer. And we cheered other crap stuffs too. xD

We went to play some games at the MPH there with another group; Raleigh. First was the number punch game where numbers are laid on the floor randomly and we had to punch the numbers in order without talking in the fastest time possible. Raleigh got 22sec, but we got 18sec!! =D

Then we had to play Giant Skip, which is like a long rope, and everyone had to stand in one line and skip together. xD Haha. We had 10 min of practice time and 5 min of execution time. The winner is the group who could jump the most times consecutively. Raleigh jumped a maximum of 2 times consecutively, but we did 8 times!!! xD We were all stunned. Haha.

Then we had to play this moon ball game, which is quite a stupid game that I don't want to explain. But this was done with both groups together, claiming that if two groups do things separately they could do things good, but if both groups do things together, they could do things better. =D

Haha. After which, we were named RaleighStone whenever together. But we objected saying that LivingLeigh sounds so much better. xD Haha.

Then photo time! Followed by lunch. Then we changed to wet attire. Wore the same thing I wore the day before for kayaking; long sleeve and long pants. =.= So uncomfortable, but it's to prevent sunburns, so it's okay I guess. =/ Good thing I brought my face towel and cap too, cuz I can protect my neck and my head/face. xD Haha...

Then we brought all our barang barang to a motor boat which the instructors use as safety boats. =.= We had to row boats.

Rowing a boat is super fun! ^^ Is completely different than rowing a dragonboat because when rowing a boat, the rowers will be facing the stern. Haha. We got 4 boats. 2 boats per group and since there were 15 of us. We split into groups of 8 and 7. Since there are 4 oars, there are 4 rowers, 1 rudderman, 1 navigator at the bow, and another one enjoying the view. =.= Haha... But that time was to practice rowing, which we did okay after a while.

Then we had Man Overboard drills at a place called Nina Bay (I think?), but we just call in Minah Bay. xD Out of the three buoyancies thrown into the water, our boat managed to get one. xD Haha.

The weather then was super hot and sunny. So our wet attire were all dried and stuff. xD Haha. The PM was there too that day. So we were stoning at Minah Bay under the hot sun whilst waiting for him to pass by in a boat. T_T Hah. Then I saw Hasif rafting past us in a cute little raft, where the sides were paddling and the back ppl were kicking the water back. xD Haha. Then we saw the PM's boat. During his encounter, we just waved and shouted Hi!

Then we rowed past by Minah Bay, past Camp 2 and to a place called the Asian Granite Quarry (AGQ), where we camped out there. And since the place was not under OBS, it's unsafe. So we had to do sentry duty at night. =(

Had instant noodles for dinner. Then we went to sleep. My shift was from 12.30 to 1.30. But none of us had a watch so we just went to call out the next group after we feel 1 hour has past by. xD Haha...

But the place is like 100% rock, so we were literally sleeping at rocks and because of the high concentration of sulphur withing the soil, we couldn't insert the pegs into the ground to add tension to the tent. We had no choice but to use rocks to stabilise the tents, but the rocks itself was unstable, so the tents were really unstable. x( It was really scary at night when it feels as if the tents are gonna collapse on you... And the no toilets thing, it's very disturbing to pee in the bush, even for the females. xD

Day 3

We were supposed to leave the campsite by 6.30. But because of some 'reasons', we were delayed till 7. It is Sea Expedition Day, where we had to row our boats around the whole island of Pulau Ubin.

Like everything else, it as uber fun. ^^ And so memoriable.

First part was okay, we're in our diamond formation, and we let those who are kayaking for the epedition to go ahead. We rowed the boat halway through past Ketam Island and we had our breakfast there.

Breakfast boost! And we spured on. Not long after, it started raining, and everyone was like screaming, "Poncho!" xD

But we still went on. But went closer to shore for safety reasons. Then the rain lighten and we reach Check Jawa, which is the Eastern part of the Island and also the longest stretch of unsafe route of which we had to row non-stop for safety reasons. But the it resumed raining - heavily in fact. And with rain peircing your skin, we were slowed down, even more thanks to the current which is against us. >.<

It continued raining all the way back to Camp 1. So our proposed lunch by the north side of the island was wrapped up quickly because if we stayed there too long, the drift will push us back. D: Then we met up with the kayakers, who are struggling to go against the current. xD Haha. Quickly wrapped up lunch in the rain where a few paddle, and the rest eat.

Lunch boost! By then our formation went haywire, as we were the first, when we're supposed to be the starboard side of the formation. =.= Haha. We just continued on.

Zai Banana. That was what we named ourselves in that boat. Me, Jia Hao, Jun Cheng, Benny, Pamela, Rachel and Danial Lim. xD Haha.

But after a while though, things started to get boring. So we shared cheers amongst ourselves. So fun. ^^ We cheered the Titanic one, Flea Fly, Carpenter Song, Campfire Song Song, Barney Song, Elmo's World Song, Fruits Cheer and even did the Green Bottles cheer, which we changed to Grey Paddles xD Wakaka... We did a LOT more cheers because it was a long way back. So fun. Even counted up all the way to the hundreds because of boredom. xD We even made up our own cheers. xP

Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1?
I think I am B2.

Lol.

There was a point in time where the rain was super depressing and everyone was tired, but suddenly we screamed out various things you can't find at OBS to spur us on. xD Haha. We were all, McSpicy, McFlurry, McWings, Starbucks, Caramel Frap, Java Chip, KFC, Burger King, Mos Burger, Subway, Carls Jr., Sakae, TOILET!!! xD Haha.

Indeed memoriable. Then I suddenly had to go pee. We heard another boat, their timing was, "1, 2, Pull!" and it sounded like "Want to poo!" so we made our own timing of "Want to Pee!" xD Haha. We rested a bit when the rain lightened, I just overboard to do business. T_T Wonder if anyone did big business there, then maybe you can see the droppings floating on the sea. xD Haha....

The it rained again. By then we rechanged our formation because one boat was lagging behind. We were now the Sweeper or the last one, because we were the fastest. xD Then our bailer went overboard THREE TIMES because the rudderman was bailing like siao due to the heavy rain. Haha. Had to back paddle back and forth to retrieve it thrice. xD So fun.

Then we saw this Oil Rig which is labelled and named, "Petrobras", which sounds a lot like Petrol Bra. T_T Jun Cheng suddenly got all excited and stuff and literally fell backwards on the boat. xD Lol.

We reached Camp 1 - in the rain still. And we quickly went for shelter, to bathe and stuff. Hah. They had this cool waterfall on the grand stand becasue there's no pipes there and all the water is flowing down the stairs. Looks cool actually. xD Lol.

After that, my left wrist, my left lower arm and my right for arm, all kena sprained and strained. >.< Haiz... Oh wells. At least the Camp 1 toilet is nice, even though there's only 3 shower cubicles.

We made it back to Camp 1 by 4.30pm, which was surprising since we'd expected to reach at around 6 or 7. =/ The route taken was apparently longer than what Nawawi paddled for AKE Mini-Expedition. Obviously, the Mini-Ex was longer, but they gave up along the way, so it's still considered short. xD

Dinner was provided that day in the Cook's House. Finally a nice meal. xD THen some reflection time and sing-a-long session, where we had to sing the OBS Song. They said that since we're good in outdoor stuff, it's time to challenge yourself in indoor stuff as well, such as singing an acapella. xD Lol. Manage to get through that, then supper, and then bedtime.

Since we were out in the rain all day, the instructors gave us a opportunity to sleep in the MPH on our ponchos instead of inside our tents. We're fine and all because we don't have to pitch or unpitch the tents, but it was f-ing cold at night. D: Was shivering throughout the whole night. =( Haiz...

Day 4

After a night of shivers, woke up for PT. Did 4 sets of 10 counts of 5 BX after the standard 2 games. We did the Friendship Dance and the Squirrel and the Tree game. xD Quite lame, but enjoyable.

As we...walk to the left, as we walk to the right
As we walk, as we walk, as we walk all night
With a heel and a toe, and a half turn around
With a heel and a toe, and a new friend found

Then Bee Hoon for Breakfast at the Cook's House. Then some reflection time, and another photo taking session because our previous photo got corrupted xD Then we had Rock Climbing. We were supposed to do the Inverse Tower too, but it was raining then =( Awww....

We were given the choice of rafting back to Camp 2 instead of trekking back, but it was with a catch. We must purchase raft parts (pipes, barrels, paddles, ropes) and build the raft ourselves. To earn the money, we had to rock climb.

With 3 walls, 2 for Buddy Climb, and another for Solo Climb. We can earn $600 for reaching the top of the Solo Climb wall and $250 for reaching the top of the Buddy Climb wall. It's a panel by panel thing, so every panel you pass by, the amount earned increases. Haha. I did the Buddy Climb, and after that, I belayed everyone else.

Belaying is fun. ^^ Haha. We aimed for $3500, but we earned $4000 instead. xD And we didn't even reach the top of the Solo Climb wall, even though the other group did it twice. xP Haha.

Lunch. We were all in awe because it was the first full meal we had for lunch. The previous days' lunch were just bread and/or biscuits and/or muesli bars. =/ Haha. Like never see food before. xD

Then changed to our wet attire (again =.=) and we built our raft. Reminisence of S3 camp. Haha. Sqaure lashing and round lashing. =/ We finished building raft. Then it had to go through 3 test; Kick test, Shake test and Buoyancy Test. We passed all three. But the other group failed the buoyancy test because their barrel came off again and again. We lost a LOT of time because of this.

They were at the brink of giving up, but then we helped out because we don't wanna hike back. xP When everything is done, we set out back to Camp 2.

But after a few paddles, we were like, "Diaoz, so slow.... =.=" Haha. We were practically not moving because the drift is pushing us back and also into the channel. Then the instructors scolded us and stuff, and so we got towed all the way to Minah Bay. xD Damn fun kena towed whilst still on the raft. We were literally sitting in the water and moving fast on the water surface. A lot of people got leg muscle cramps because of the immense pressure of water pushing on your leg muscles. Haha. My booties was practically falling off. xD Haha...

After being towed back to Minah Bay, we continued rafting back to Camp 2 which is a lot closer than before. xD Damn fun. At least then, we found out we were actually moving, even though it's only a few millimeters every minute. xP

Raj: We'll make a sharp turn after the rocks.
Me:THIS IS NOT A CAR!!!

Reached the beach almost 7 o'clock with a welcoming commitee, cooking dinner by their campsite by the seaside where we were camping at during the first night. xD Lol. Dismantled the raft, washed the raft parts, collected our barang barang back from the safety boat all by 7.30.

Supposed to have Jetty Jump after rafting, but because of the long time taken to make the raft, it was cancelled. =( Nooo! It seemed so fun when other groups did it.... =(

Haiz. We went straight back to our store and we were all, "WHOA!" at the amount of food left in the store! xD Haha... We were starving ourselves when we left but now we had massive amounts of food for one night and one day left of camp. xP

Lol. Went to pitch our tents. The other groups were having dinner already. T_T Then we showered, then cooked our dinner. By then, the other groups finished already and was cleaning up their store.... Haiz...

We 'finished' our dinner and then time for bed. Haha. Ended up throwing away a whole pot of rice because everyone was full...

Haha. Since it was the last night, we had fun as well. Jun Cheng and Ridwan were 'shaking the tents' during dinner, making lots of noise. xD Doggy style, elephant style, giraffe style, and suddenly they "Baaa'!" from inside the tent. xD

Jun Cheng & Ridwan: Harder! Harder!
Rachel:They having sex? Where? I wanna join.

Day 5

Another cold night. We woke up late at 5.30, to find out the other tents were already unpitched and gone. xD Haha.

PT. Another 2 stupid games and then 2 sets of 5 BX, 15 counts each. We played the 'Various Versions of Pepsi Cola 1,2,3' game and the 'Hello Kitty' game, which I owned big time. xD Haha...

Then reflections during breakfast, then store clean up. Had to wash our tent parts, mesh tins and other stuff used in the store too. Took a while to do everything, especially finding out that we lost a lot of stuff. >.< Including a humungous blue tarp which we placed outside our store and suddenly disappeared. >.< Haiz... One poncho torn also. =/

So we negociated with various other groups to find our missing stuff. Haha. We even took a blue tarp which we found lying around by the campsite. =.= In the end, we found everything except for two water bottles and two water bottle covers. Had to pay for them. But our kind instructor gave us one new bottle and told us we do not need to pay for the torn poncho. In the end, total losses cost 70 cents, to be shared amongst 15 people. xD Haha.

Finished cleaning up everything by 11. By then some groups went for their Jetty Jump... =( We still lost our opportunity and still are depressed over it... =( Haiz... Then final reflections and sharing session. So sad, have to leave already....

By 12, everything was settled. Then we had a few minutes shopping time to shop for OBS suveniors, which I completely forgot about, so I didn't have to money to purchase any suveniors... =( Their shirts quite nice, but the notebook is uber nice... =( Awwww.... I so wanted it. xD

Haiz. Then final debrief. Then off, back to Punggol Jetty. Since there's a limited number of ferries, only certain amount of people can go at a time. We were sent off group by group. My group was the first few to leave, but Hasif's group was left behind. xD Haha.

Nevertheless, I waited for him at Punggol Jetty cuz his parents are sending me back home. xP Lol. And since my group didn't finish our food ration, we had to bring back home the food. So I had an extra load of extra food in my bag. T__T

Final Livingstone moments. We were f-ing surprised when we found out that Jun Cheng was actually 14 years old, and he's like the most muscular amongst us, with pecs appeal that can make any guy jealous. xD 14 years old! WTF!!

Jun Cheng: What's so hard to believe that I'm 14?
Me: And you still lied to us that you're 17. T_T
Jun Cheng: I can be mature what.
Me: You just look mature, but you're not.
Benny: Yea. *takes a deep breath* HARDER!!!
Pamela: O.O STOP IT PLS!!!

And Benny even joined in the game to cover his identity. =P Both from Nan Chiau High, but Benny is his senior. =.= Lol... Funny sia they all... Especially Benny, see his face already wanna laugh. xD

LIVINGSTONE!!!

Then it started to rain whilst waiting for Hasif. But when he reached, we left. But that was when the roller coaster ride began. xD His father's driving is damn bloody reckless la. F-ing scary if you were there. And he still can complain about a taxi driving recklessly behind his car. xD Lol.... He even drove past a red light.... T_____T

But his parents quite fun la. Quite funny. At least not lame like mine. xD But they very bastard sia. Which explains a lot about Hasif's character. xD Lol...

Shared experiences in the car. Apparently, first day he did bonding games, second day rafting when the MP came, and Inverse Tower at Camp 1. 3rd day was land expedition back to Camp 2. 4th day kayaking expedition from Camp 2 to Camp 2 with Jetty Jump... >.< So unfair...he got jetty jump, and no need to sleep on rocks at AGQ or do sentry duties.... He also told me that his damage cost per person is twice as much as my total damage cost for the group, cuz he lost 3 jackknifes and plenty of other stuff. xD He also bought an OBS shirt, which I think is exactly the same as the one Qamarul have. xP

He got 2 days of wet activities, I got 4... T_T Make that 5 since I got wet during washing up of store room equipment. xD Haiz...

Anyways, thanks for the ride... Wonder if they'll be safe during their Malaysia Trip with that reckless driving... T_T Lol...
