Before I begin this blog post...

To my Chinese reader(s):

24位维中学生和3位维中老师已经在下午12点05分抵达白云机场，前往南海执信中学！

Artiste of the Post: Blue

Haha. What an intriguing name for a music genre. "Rhythm and blues".

First heard it in Sec 2. I've been wondering what R&B sounds like o_O

Recently went to wikipedia and read the description and it was kinda described as "black music" -_-|||

Then went on to imeem and searched for some R&B songs, like "Take a Bow" from Rihanna, "Closer" by Ne-yo, and oh yes, quite a few songs from Blue, a R&B band which is not really active now.

One Love by Blue

Yeahhh Alright!!
It's kind a funny how life can change
Can flip 180 in a matter of days
Sometimes love works in mysterious ways
One day you wake-up gone with-out a trace

I refuse to give up
I refuse to give in (yeah)
You're my everything
I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in, oh so
Everybody sing

One love - for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love, Oh I do believe
One love is all we need

Late at night I'm still wide awake
Feel this is far more than I can take
I felt my heart could never break (never break)
Now I know that's one big mistake

I refuse to give up
I refuse to give in ohh now
You're my everything
I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in, oh no
Everybody sing

One love - for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love (one love), Oh I do believe
One love is all we need

That's right
Baby, just love me love me love me
Baby, just hold me hold me hold me
Oh.., love me love me love me, Oooh one love
Baby, just love me love me love me
Baby, just hold me hold me hold me
Oh.., love me love me love me, Oooh

One love- for the mother's pride
One love- for the times we cried

One love- for the city streets
One love (One love)- for the hip-hop beats
One love (One love), oh I do believe

Terminal 3

2008-11-17T09:42:00.003+08:00

Mood: Tired, but okay :]

Woke up at 5.20pm and reached Terminal 3 at 6am today!

LOL. xD

I was wearing my home clothes and jacket with my usual small Adidas sling bag.

Yong Jie was spamming "Eh wtf, what are you doing here, retard! Told you not to come right!".

Sylvester: Eh Yi Qi, you going?

Yong Jie: Ya, he's going. His luggage is his bag.

Sylvester: -gets the point- Oh ya! You last year went already!

Yong Jie: Eh Yi Qi, we smuggle you in the luggage la.

Then YJ was continuously suaning me of not going to Guangzhou -_-

"See you outside the plane window later!"

Wei Jian was not wearing his usual green jacket! :O

Haha. I checked their Flight Number. It's SQ850. Exact same flight number we took last year. Haha. I'm guessing their return flight is SQ851, flight duration 1.15pm to 5.25pm.

All that has happened before will all happen again!

Yup. =]

Wanted to take their group photo, but it ended sooner than expected -_- like, after helping Yong Jie to take one group shot. lol. didn't even get to take the photo on Ernest's, Wei Loong's and mine. =(

I still remember last year. We stood outside the Departure Gate for group photo, and everyone's parents were taking photos like mad. Haha. VS Fanclub? The whole photo-taking thing took about 10 minutes?

Then we (Wisnuh, Ziyad, Taufik and I think Saufi and another guy. Oops @_@ Didn't remember their names clearly) went to T3 Macs for breakfast!

Wisnuh ordered the 2 dollar meal and we were like wtf. Lol. 2 dollar meal?

Wisnuh: Ziyad, help me order the 2 dollar meal.

Ziyad: What 2 dollar meal? Which one?

Wisnuh: The 2 dollar meal lah.

Ziyad: Oh you mean you just go to the counter and ask for the 2 dollar meal?

haha.

Eventually, it was $2.40 and it consisted of Sausage McMuffin and Ice Milo! Large, I believe.

I ordered Big Breakfast for the first time of my life xD and my favourite - Teh-O! (:

And then there were random jokes. And sudden silence. :O And laughs! xD

Yes, yes, :] I'm happy now. woopeedoo! For all of you who I talked to on MSN, here's a big thank you to you!

THANK YOU

HAVE FUN IN GUANGZHOU :] ALL THE BEST. And careful of theives at Beijing Road. haha.

Oh, and in Guangzhou... definitely can't miss out the BARGAIN FRENZY. LOL.

Ok. I'm hungry although I had 2 breakfasts.

Time to have a 3rd!

Bye! :D

P.S.: Murphy's Law :O Cools! KEEP TAGGING XD Will do tag replies in my next post.

Cherish

2008-11-15T20:10:00.002+08:00

How many times have you regretted doing something?

And how many times have you regretted not doing something?

If only I had put in a little more thought into what I was doing then, then things wouldn't have turned so cold.

If only I had put in a little more thought into what I should have done, then things wouldn't have become what it is today.

He says life should be begun anew when I leave Victoria.

And I really want to ask him, so does that mean my life isn't worth living now?

It's all going to be plain boring in Sec 4, I guess.

I missed a good opportunity to something that will change me for the better. And I've been suffering these consequences.

Just like what Sidney's blog says, Cherish.

Yes, people. Cherish.

Good bye and have fun to all who are going Guangzhou. I'm kinda considering to send you all off at the airport on Monday 6am but I don't think I should, anyway.

And to him who has been talking to me on MSN, thank you.

Veloci-T

2008-11-14T21:03:00.002+08:00

Mood: Downy?

One of the times I feel helpless. And that's now.

Veloci-T. The time of the year has just passed again. Everyone around me has become a better servant aka a leader.

And I'm still stuck here :/ Not moving forward.

Why was I so dumb then? If really, I had that little more initiative to find out whether I was going for Veloci-T or not, things would have been better.

I probably would have learnt things that will have shaped IT Club better, I probably would have gain really more friends.

But sigh, the feeling is back again. I get the feeling again where everyone is looking at me with cold eyes.

Bah, the feeling just won't disappear.

And I sat there, in front of the IT Club computer near the printer, spamming the + button, thinking of how life would have been way better if I went to Veloci-T.

I can't help to think that I'm such a screwed up guy and should just fuck off from the entire world.

Lol. Yea. That kinda feeling is back again.

I'm worried though. I'm worried that my Sec 4 life will be plain boring. That very last year in Victoria.

:(

Lol. This new skin was supposed to retain the colour scheme of the previous one, which was black and white.

But I experimented with Gradient Map and woot :O

"Sepia Tone Effect" xD

Anyway, I think the colour scheme is still quite screwed but got no idea what colour I should change some to.

So yea :]

Oh, Damien, if you are reading this, I know it's uncreative to put cards, but I can't help it! =D

WHOA WHOA WHOA

I thought my blog kena censored by Chinese govt seh! o_o""

Aiyo, is this pro or pro? I think is neither. But I think is pro.

Today we had Victoria School Open House where there were goods and shits.

Some P6 boys just funfair funfair come into the clubroom and started playing Chess Titans -_-

Of course there are some P6 boys who want to check out IT Club because they want to escape the tyranny of other CCAs who hold camps!

But guess what! We disappoint these boys and make their parents happy because we, IT Club, also hold camps! MWAHAHAHAHA. Own or own? I think is neither. But I think is own.

Yea, many parents were surprised luh. They were like, "HUH? IT CLUB PLAYS SPORTS AND HOLDS CAMPS!?"

And I was like, "Ya! -maniac smile- YES YES YES!!!! :)"

And the parents were like, ":) COOL"

And there was one scholar who is coming into VS next year, and very much looks like Eusebio :O

At first I thought he was Angmoh. But when we spoke, we all identified him as Vietnamese!

The 1st half hour was pretty screwed up -_- Because we weren't warmed up.

Then we calibrated and spammed.

Damn, lol. The students ambassadors brought their students to the UG CCA rooms but never bring them to our clubroom xD

But finally, at the last half of the VSOH, they brought them to us!!! :D

Terence was our Robotics demonstrator. Woot, lol :]

Nicholas Yew occupied space. Ervin went to return the blue pail to Uncle Foo and then occupied space! xD

Hui Han and Daniel were our flyer-boys :D Jacob was our FnB Man!

Cool sia.

Originally, we wanted to have different designs for the flyers. But limited time! So we only had 1 design.

But it is ok! We have Sec 1 Orientation! VS POWUH!

If you're going to IP at the end of Sec 2, please jump down into a bottomless well and die.
(But wait! You won't die! Because it's bottomless! So you won't die due to severe injury! You'll just die after days of freefalling without food and water. So, anyway, YOU DIE!)

P.S. This post was meant to be full of shit, like always?

And, it's time for a new skin. Because this is old and we, as biological creatures, shed skin.

Drained (wow looks familiar)

2008-11-07T23:50:00.005+08:00

Don't know I copy the title from where one. Don't know where.

ahem.

I'm so drained! @_@

Today, we had a General Meeting + Cleaning Day, starting at 10am. But I overslept, woke up at 9.20am. LMAO.

Reached VS at about 11am, and officially started cleaning at 12nn! =]

Wow I was so WXYZing drained.

We moved out all the shit from the room and swept, mopped, grenaded and flash-banged.

Serious cleaning. Even wiped the keyboards and our rich stash of messy wires in which Hadi helped to untangle :)

Woot at around 5pm, the things were still laying around and we lost manpower fast!

Sequence of loss:

Ryan (LMAO THE MOST SENIOR LEFT FIRST) -> Daniel -> Hui Han -> Chew -> Hadi -> Terence

LOL. Then all that's left is Safi, Gordon, Ian and me!

At 6pm we started to move the computers in and wired everything nice nice, then moved the items in to organize the things into cupboards nice nice.

Oh! We also re-layout-ed the clubroom! It looks so WXYZ-ing spacious now! And we have a toilet in the clubroom now! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA :)

Then 8pm we were still moving things in -_-

And wow, WTF, WE HAVE SO MANY DAMN WIRES IN THE DAMN STASH O_o

And Bagus, we went off at 8.30pm.

And LOL :D YOU THOUGHT IT ENDED THERE. We went to Parkway Hawker Centre for dinner and left at 10pm -_-"

I had Grass Jelly frenzy... Grass Jelly with Longan dessert for dinner and Grass Jelly Drink to accompany it! WOW =D

Then I reached home at 11.20pm.

Felt so shiok after washing away all the stickiness due to cleaning xD

FWEEEEEEE. Wanted to design some flyers now. But guess what!

I forgot to bring my hard-drive cable home. Shit.

Anyway, Happy VSOH tomorrow xD

THE TIME OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED YET AGAIN

2008-11-06T20:33:00.003+08:00

THE TIME OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED YET AGAIN!

IT IS THE VICTORIA SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE.

OH I REMEMBERED SO VIVIDLY HOW OPEN HOUSE RAN AT IT CLUB SIDE.

OH YES. I REMEMBERED IT SO CLEARLY.

Why? Because no one from IT Club came to run the Open House on the IT Club side.

ROFLMAO. Yea, that's why it was so vivid.

Anyway :O

We face some serious shortage of manpower this Saturday as 90% of our soon-to-be leaders of IT Club have to attend this competition known as StrITwise! So yea, it's up to the remaining 10% and soon-to-be graduating seniors (LIKE ME!) to run the Open House in IT Club!

Today we had a VSOH meeting and ohnoz! Guessed what! We ran out of ideas! And we ran out of fonts in the computers! SHIT!

And I didn't bring my hard-drive. So yea. No designing in the clubroom yet.

Currently designing some flyers :O If you are artistically-inclined or have some skill-ded designer's eye, comment on the imbal (kf, i think i used bong's word!) flyers I made.

Imbal, where got imbal. XD

And Jonathan! Don't restrict your designing to those taught in the books! :O

THEY SUCK! But they teach you how to use tools so I guess THEY ROCK! :)

Well, after Open House....

THE TIME OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED YET AGAIN!

Veloci-T and PSLTC! Which I am in no way involved in :/

After that....

THE TIME OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED YET AGAIN!

Guangzhou Overseas Exchange Trip 2008!

In which I can't get myself involved in T.T I kena kicked because I attended it last year =_=

THE TIME OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED YET AGAIN!

IT Club Camp 2008! Specially dedicated to Kenwin, so we named it.. Camp Win. I think x)

Good luck y'all. Remember to buy Pepsi, drink it, and say "I drank Pepsi." because it all makes perfect sense :]

Finally

2008-11-05T19:20:00.002+08:00

Wow. I did it. That damn paper.

We had 'O' Levels Chinese today. And the paper was okay.

The damn compo question about "90% of youths in Singapore feel that handphones have become part of their everyday life and cannot live without it" came out EXACTLY in our Sec 1 test.

No wonder, it was all too familiar -_-"

Paper 2 was okay too :O

I finished the Zong He Tian Kong in like 7 minutes o_O It was about the origin of mooncakes.

Haha. That's the fall of Yuan Dynasty, people. =]

Anyway, just when you think you can leave after 1.5 hours of exam, the chief examiner wasn't so ready to release you!

JACK IN THE FACE :O

We had to wait for another 30 minutes for the Sec 4 Higher Chinese candidates to finish because that was 100% going to be disruption if we leave the hall during their exam duration :X

Mwahahahaha..

HEY YI QI, STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT LA. WHY SO LONG NEVER BLOG =(

Heh heh. That's a very good question!

Ahem. I was busy revising!

(And a bit of Generals Online too! A bit! Serious!)

And I can show you how pro I am!

Serious! You wanna know my stats? Please scrutinize the words below:

5 wins and 32 losses.

Imba right? =D

Heh heh =]

VSOH is this Saturday 0900 to 1300! Passport to Success! So erm, make sure you don't forget your passports or be prepared to be labelled as illegal immigrant! HAHAHAHA

And I bring pathfinders (or King Snipey) in case of leak!

Ok ok.

I'm sure this coming holidays is going to be powuh-packed.

Especially Guangzhou, in which I can't go -_-

DAMN IT :(

Today:
Haha. Went to PP for lunch with Cheng and the Sec 2s after hanging around in teh clubroom.

GUESS WHAT JEROME DID TO CHENG!

Ahem. Find it out yourself x)

Shoot. We should have taken pictures of it.

AHEM

It was damn funny. All the way from PP to school where Cheng can take cover x)

I WILL HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE SURVIVED THE JOURNEY FROM SCHOOL TO HOME.

LMAO.

xD And I saw Ziyad in PP! (or rather he saw me first and said 'Hi!' Lol.)

Oh, and I saw 3 students got rounded up in Hougang Mall by security guards most likely for shoplifting =_=

And I saw some Victorians in PE Attire together playing the XBox thing at the "roadshow" or don't know what technology stuff at the atrium of Hougang Mall!

Lol x) First thing seeing Victorians in one big group going to Hougang Mall.

7 DAYS, PEOPLE!

HEY DOODS! HAVE YOU STUDIED FOR MOTHER TONGUE YET.

TEH BIG EXAM IS IN 7 DAYS.

***

Today had Chinese lessons as usual. Then after school, initially wanted to go home with yunhan/weijian, but they had SL meeting so I thought it will be dammmmmmmm long 'cos of Veloci-T in like... 2 weeks!

So I jalan-ed around and I saw Kayfong and i was like shouting, "KAY FONG, I THOUGHT YOU HAVE WORK 10am-10pm!?"

Then I found out it was actually starting tomorrow. Lol.

S$248 for 8GB iPod Nano, people @_@

Went to Parkway with kf, zhong yun and joseph and had lunch at this food court I never noticed! xD

Wanted to eat Bak Kut Teh but they had designated tables for it so can't eat it or I'll be like separated from the rest x(

Kf ordered some Thai Style Chicken Chopper Rice. The name sounds nice, ya? Yea, it looked nice 'cos it was sizzling on top of the rice XD

So I ordered it too, and found out that the gravy was uber sweet and I stupidly put it all over my rice =_= So I didn't finish the rice.

The chicken meat was okay. The nicest part about it was that it was hot and crunchy x) Bad part was it was uber sweet but not as bad as the gravy =DDD

Then we boarded bus back to VS. While I was boarding the bus opposite PP, guess who I saw!

BIH YAU.

Onoz. That means the SL or Black Shirt meeting or whatever was over!

Shit =_="

SMS-ed yunhan and realized they left already =S

Whole weekend kena burnt away for nothing other than Generals-ing and a little bit of mugging (which was merely reading some Chinese Essays compilations).

The weekend however, proved to be quite "fruitful" as I tried out a USA tactic XD

AHEM

Jokes aside :/ I think my time could have been spent more wisely in planning club activities and mugging Chinese. After all, I screwed up all my responsibilities in club this year and must make up for the shits in my last 2 months in Sec 3.

Sigh. All plan and no action makes me shitty. I need that constant driving force. And I don't know how to get it. Solo studying is boring D: And I'm sick of soloing stuff.

I want a change.

If you have advice, no matter how shiny it is, please drop me an e-mail/MSN message or SMS o_x As in, SERIOUSLY.

So much time in my hands, REALLY have to make good use of it.

Anyone wanna form a study group during the Hols in VS?
AND OH YES, WHO WANNA GO WATCH HSM3? =DD

2008-10-23T19:20:00.003+08:00

It was silent except for the whirring of the fans.

I was alone, half-sleeping in the clubroom. Then, I hear footsteps.

A figure wearing a blue bag emerged from the doorstep and suddenly pointing and shouting at me, "SEE YOU IN SEC 4!"

Woot o_O It awoken me x)

It was Kay Fong. xD

Anyway, we've all gotten our heavenly report books and I really gotta say it's my worst L1R5 of the year X(

CA1: 13
SA1: 16
CA2: 15
SA2: 17

But still =] "Promoted to S4 SPECIAL"

=DDDD

Then I looked at my level position 72/126 WTF -_-"" My standard is below average among the SPECIAL stream people. =(

And unfortunately, 2 people won't be joining us in 4C next year. Good luck to you two! All the best!

And it's last day of school! And we had the Sec 3 Cross-Country Race. My timing was 29min. Yea yea kinda slow =D

Ran with Timothy throughout. At first we wanted to run with Jordan and Asaph, but couldn't find them when the race began xD

After school, bus-ed home with the Seahs and died in bed when I reached home.
(does that mean my spirit is blogging now?)

While it may be the last day of school, for the whole of next week PLUS tomorrow, we HIGHER MOTHER TONGUE students have to return to school for Intensive Mother Tongue Revision in light of the murderous 'O' Levels on 5th Nov.

Jiayou too all xP

Before I end....

Blog Action Day

2008-10-16T19:26:00.004+08:00

THIS POST HAS 2 SECTIONS =D

Blog Action Day 2008 - Poverty

Oops. I posted a lil late. It's Oct 16. Blog Action Day's still running. Regardless, I shall make an effort to participate! Better late than never, right? ;)

The NKF Episode, Fr Joachim Kang Episode and the Ren Ci Episode have made us Singaporeans to reconsider our participation and involvement in charity work.

Everytime mega-fundraising events are held and publicized on TV, we often hesitate and say to ourselves, "One day this charity organization is going to go corrupt and eat up our money."

Hey, people =] Let's not let that hinder our cause of helping the people living in poverty! There are still charity organizations who uphold integrity such as Mercy Relief that helped in the Tsunami Relief in 2004.

Why let the few episodes of dishonesty deprive millions of others out there in world to continue suffering?

We should continue doing charity work. The simplest way you can contribute to charity as student, like me XD, is to donate a dollar or two on Flag Days.

Tell yourself that you didn't donate to waste your money, but you donated so that others could benefit.

Tell yourself that you didn't donate because you were under certain pressure, but you donated because you wanted to answer the call.

Every dollar counts. Every individual makes a difference.

The government has also been putting in effort to educate and encourage students to be involved in charity work. In Victoria School, students work with Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) and also trips such as the Cambodia Overseas Exchange were organized.

Regardless of whether it was to uplift poverty or not, the main point was to cultivate a sense of giving back to society.

Once that is done, people out of their free will will contribute to charity work.

Remember people, while you sitting in front of your computer reading this blog, there are people out there who aren't even literate. Some are also struggling to have 3 meals a day.

You may have 40 in a classroom and call that not spacious enough. But some countries have having classes of at least 100 students in the same given space.

We have a 7-storey school building. Others may have a 1-storey building with only a one or two rooms.

Get involved in charity work, donate or if you want a better experience, participate in overseas community involvement programmes.

It all begins with you.

* * *

Hmm. Blog Action Day post is up. Ah :/ I didn't sound inspiring, did I? Or was I full of crap =(

Oh, yesterday was the end of exams. So yay =]

I reached school at 7.00am even though I didn't even need to go school yesterday. I slept outside the clubroom till about 8.50am. Then went to the canteen. Then when the bio-ers were released, Wei Jian was going down the stairs.

Me: -goes up to Wei Jian- OH SHIT. IM LATE FOR BIO PAPER.

Wei Jian: ???

Me: Oh wait. I don't take bio! =D

Wei Jian: -shouts- OMG YOU ARE SO LAME

And wow. There was a special episode that happened that I didn't even know.

Source: Sidney's Blog

Fast forward to just before exam time..

Everybody was in the PSB room, just hanging around, dreading the Biology paper. Yufan Yutian and i dunno who, probably Yun Han and Ryan Phua and Wei Loong etc.

These people were playing blind chess to destress before the exam. hehe. And it was so enticing, so i watched. I watched as *'s team was losing, and he was on the verge of losing if he made just one wrong move.

But i knew he wouldn't do it, cause the enemy's threat was very obvious. And guess what, he made the mistake, and got himself killed!!!

I couldn't stand myself, and i exclaimed, " OI *! THAT WAS SUCH A STUPID MOVE LA. SOOOOOO OBVIOUS THAT MISTAKE. EVEN PRIMARY SCHOOL ALSO CAN SEE ONE LA! STUPID! "

And he also got crazy and yelled back, " SHUT UP LAH SIDNEY TEO. FUCK YOU! "

We laughed and continued.

1 minute later, Damien and Quinn ran inside the PSB room, looking all hot and flustered.

" err, did someone just shout vulgarities in the PSB room, because it was broadcasted over the PA system.. "

we looked around and grinned, but still in the joking mood. They left.
Ziyad came in. He asked the same thing. Said it was broadcasted over the whole school including the General Office. We got apprehensive.

Andres came in. He knew who it was straightaway, his voice was distinct. HAHA. Apparently over the classrooms, it wasn't clear, but in the General Office it was. Super clear. And the teachers heard. LOL.

luckily, only the sec 3s were in school that day.

Epic, yea?

Then after that, at around 2pm, went to Marina Square.

Yong Jie, Wei Jian, Yun Han, Yun Sol, Wei Loong, Ernest, Andres, Sidney and Yu Fan.

We met at LJS for lunch and YONGJIE, IM NOT SCAMMED.

And I realized what's Tartar Sauce... It's some sauce that looks like mayonnaise with some veg o_O

Then went to arcade and played racing. At first I thought the machine got problem 'cos the steering wheel went crazy and steered left and right w/o me controlling. Then Wei Loong was like "What you doing sia"

Then I realized everyone's steering wheel was going crazy too. Oh! So that's how racing cars work in arcade :/ The steering wheel is supposed to be crazy! I think.

So I ended up last. People finished 8 laps while I finished 3 laps -_-

Then we went to watch The House Bunny and I thought it was a HORROR MOVIE and it ended up becoming some comedy show.

Dinnered some stall in Marina Sq. didn't know what's the stall name. And Yu Fan bought old school glasses which looked damn cool xD

Ugh :/ I need a camera phone so I can take and post photos!!! RAWR =(

MRT-ed home with Wei Jian, Yong Jie and Yun Han afterwards.

Heh. Reached home and wanted to blog, but fell asleep. Seriously tired =/

Today, we had Post-Exam Activities.

Cyber Awareness talk before recess and some E-Career Guidance thing which we ended up slacking in the IT Lab, enjoying air-con XD

Then went to clubroom after that to get TK-ed by Shira.

Oh speaking of Shira, Lim Xi and him are going to IP. Wtf !!!! D:

On the bright side, there're quite a few leaders-to-be in the EXCO'09 =D

Ian, Jonathan, Nic Chew and Jerome are becoming JLs.

Berwin, Nic Yew and Jaren are applying for PSLs.

Good luck for your interviews =o

Congrats to Ian for Chairmanship and Jonathan for Vice-Chairmanship.

xD Shine, EXCO'09, shine like a Meteor :o

Oh, JJ has self-proclaimed to be Mr Exothermic

i'm so hot, that girls like to sit beside me. cos can get free sauna.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!
[unless you're a bio student -ahem-]

But mehhhh... ever since the end of A.Maths paper, it has been end of exams.

After all, what's left was just science MCQ papers.

Geog paper on Monday was crazy =[

Aiyo :/ phail.

Physics MCQ was okay. Chem MCQ was easy =]

Quite a few questions similar to 10-year-series.

Went to clubroom after Physics paper
[yea! one of the few times I've been there since.... long time ago]

and Shira taught Ernest how to use COLONEL BURTON and testing that guy on me -_-

D: SHIRA, you shall be my military strategist next time =o

Talk about productive work.

Okay, enough elaboration =]

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! SWEET =]

But there's still 'O' Levels for normal Chinese this year. it's on Wednesday, 5 Nov.

And YOU KNOW WHAT? Tomorrow's Wednesday too - Oct 15.
[pstt... blog action day.. -hint hint- click here!]

Congratulations to Jonathan, Ian, Nicholas Chew, and Jerome for becoming JLs-to-be.

Good luck to Berwin in your application for PSL =o

Good luck to the Gingerbread (the above five) =D

Yea I know. No link. Sorry. I'm being over lame in this post because EXAMS ARE OVER!!!

Tomorrow, although I have no bio paper, I'm going to school to wait for the bio-ers to finish and then go hang out. At the same time, handing up my overdue assignments.

So let's jump in my car and go 100 round the bends!!!

[Now Playing - 100 Round the Bends - Missy Higgins]

Oops. Another lame-ness.

Ah. Today. Played two rounds of Generals.

BRUTAL ARMY is too brutal all of a sudden! They now always target their super-weapons and Rebel Ambushes at my base -_- Not to forget... RANGER AMBUSH... Anthrax too!

My economic expansion is deterred! UGHHH

What to do? I'm too powerful so they aim me xP

Oh well =] All will be over when I employ a military strategist.. Hmm.... Colonel Burton again maybe? =o

Ahem. But as I was saying in my previous post, GAMING ADDICTION IS BAD.

So boys, don't get addicted to gaming because exams are over X)

Our O Levels are just less than one year away.

You'll get full marks for Maths papers if you put in '42' for any question, because it is the answer to many things in life.
But when you get back your paper. You realize - ZERO MARKS. Why? Because the paper has got no life. =]

Yes yes. Lame lame. Sry, I'm hyper now. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH -screams-

Officially addicted to listening to music. I've been listening to music since 10am till now, and I can't stop!!! Help please.

Keane's Perfect Symmetry is nice.

Listen it here:
http://www.last.fm/music/Keane/_/Perfect+Symmetry

Spineless dreamers, hide in churches
Pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
I dream in e-mails, worn out phrases
Mile after mile of just empty pages

Erm... This is not meant to be offensive to Protestants or Catholics. It refers to those who dream all day and does nothing but hide in churches =/ And not people who go to churches are spineless dreamers. AND NO, this also doesn't refer to pastors and related people in the church -_-

=D No misunderstanding, okay.

Speaking of addiction, Yun Han is already playing games. Don't get addicted to gaming okay! Later like last year, addicted to DotA and then poof, you got lower than me in SA2.... by 0.2 mark -_-|||

Addiction is bad, regardless.

Anyway =] Time to revise Geog. Good luck to all geog-ers.

"We Never Really Left"

2008-10-11T17:36:00.002+08:00

Words to all Sec 4s. Doesn't only apply to IT Club.:

I'm bad at words. But I wanna say something rather than just "Good luck in your future endeavours". I'm going to try my best to put my thoughts into words.

It has been an awesome 3 years together. Well, it's more than awesome, more than exhilarating, more than words.

Stepping into Victoria School when I was Sec 1, you were the only other batch wearing short pants. We were both followers of our long pants seniors. We laughed, teased, enjoyed most of the time we were together.

What about that small fraction? Those were the meaningful times. We disagreed, probably because we've been disrespectful towards you, gone over the limit. But over time, you tolerated, and from a junior-senior relationship, we've blended and become elder and younger brothers.

At Sec 3, you've move a step up to take on the toughest challenge of being a leader. Balancing your academics, CCA and social life. It all seemed easy on the surface, as you are always putting on a smile, but truth is you're containing all the stress and pressure.

Nil Sine Labore. The three words have always been beating in your hearts, spurring you on to do not only better, but to do your very best.

And we became Sec 3 finally this year. We took it easy and suffered. You gave us advice, guidance and support as we moved along. Yep, there are times where we didn't heed your advice, but we still appreciated it - the effort that you put in to help us succeed.

Even during the times when I was emo and gave up the Chairman seat, you didn't give up. You continued to cheer me up and help me pick myself up.

The Victorian Experience. You've been through it and emerge as a gentleman, a professional and a sportsman.

You're our role-models, examples. You're our leaders.

You have kept Victoria's flag flying and made her into something even more.

You have kept Victoria's fire burning and made her burning with passion and love.

You have kept the Victorian spirit alive and drove it up in our heads, buried deep in our hearts and bathed it all over us.

You are the pride of Victoria.

Once a Victorian, always a Victorian. Our friendship, our brotherhood will be everlasting.

You do not return to our mother, Victoria, because you never really left.

No goodbyes. No farewells.

Thank you, and Nil Sine Labore.

Today we had A.Maths.

-_- how should i judge it ._.

one third of the questions dammmm easy
another third of questions dammmmmm hard
another third of questions so-so

=_=

Ah well =]

i leave it to fate =x
BUT WAIT

You control where you go.. You can steer
[more elaboration on this later xP]

Hmm... Today's Sec 4 graduation day. And wow XD

Yesterday the banner was damn empty.. with only 3 scribbles.

Today's a whole lot of difference. It's spammed with no space left.

I spent the next 45 minutes stoning in front of the banner, finding a space and thinking of what to write. -_-"

Mr Gabriel Palai came to check on the banner to see what's new. And then he suddenly turned around.

Mr Gabriel: You're Sec 3 this year, right?

Me: Erm... ya... -nods-

Mr Gabriel: Your time will come soon. -nods and walks away-

I was like, omg o_O It sounded like some oracle thing or some prophecy.

"Your time will come... Chosen one..."

Yea that kind of thing :/

Then I continued to think what to write -_-

It should be something motivational rather than a simple "Good luck" =x

And oh yes, MUSIC INSPIRES, yea?

So I wrote the lyrics of one of Missy Higgins's songs - Steer

Couldn't remember the lyrics, if only I had it in my MP3 -_-

So I wrote...

Steer, 'cos you're in control.

There were many stuffs in the banner luh =D

Like Shervin drew a big figure of James (Mr WWL) and Felicia (Mrs FWong) and wrote:

THE WONG FAMILY

Just married ---- Now that's CHEMISTRY!

Then Mr WWL came to see the banner. And then this student pointed at that drawing to him.

Lol :/ Mr WWL simply replied, "No lah. Some students love to draw."

xD

Oh, and there's this word Lau-garithm next to a drawing of Ms Lau with a (-_-||) face.

Mr Gabriel drew a LABELLED BIO DIAGRAM WITH NOTES on the banner with a caption:
"Last minute revision for bio students!"

Haha. Many who saw it were like wtf and rofl-ed luh. XD

Then next to it had this reply "Ok, thanks! =D"

Wahaha. The Graduation Banner became damn cool and funny XD

The PB and MC drawings on the banner were nice too =]

For pictures...

http://mrsiow.blogspot.com/2008/10/sec-4-graduation.html

Lol. Was writing on the banner then heard a -click- sound.
Oh, the drawing of WWL + FWong is on the top right hand corner.

Lastly, Happy Graduation Day to the Sec 4s!

Go Victoria, win win Victoria =]

Ehhh ._." Mr Gabriel's words are ringing in my head. That "prophecy"..

"Your time will come soon.........."

Very inspirational songs. Damn nice.

Steer
By Missy Higgins

Feel it falling off like clothing
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh and breathe them deep into your lungs

It was always simple
Not hidden hard
You've been pulling at the strings
Playing puppeteer for kings
And you've had enough

(Chorus)
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go..you can Steer

So hold this feeling like a newborn
Oh and freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain

It was always simple
Not hidden hard
You've been playing at a game
Called Remembering Your Name
And you've stuffed it up

((CHORUS))

Ohh..
And now you finally know
That you control where you go..you can Steer

Cause you've been listening for answers
Oh but the city screams
And all your dreams go unheard

((CHORUS))

Ohh..
Get out of the box
And step into the clear

Ohh..
So now you finally know you can.. Steer

Scar
By Missy Higgins

He left a card, a bar of soap
And a scrubbing brush next to a note,
That said "use these down to your bones".
And before I knew I had shiny skin
And it felt easy being clean like him,
I thought "this one knows better than I do"

A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

And doesn't that sound familiar?
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver;
The way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar
That everyone wants a little more.
So that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?

So the next one came with a bag of treats,
She smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
She told me don't, trust them trust me.
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one,
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue,

And said "This will all have to come undone".

A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle,
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit.

And doesn't that sound familiar?
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver;
The way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar,
That everyone wants a little more?
So that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?

I think I realised just in time,
About my old self was hard to find.
You can bathe me in your finest wine
But I'll never give you mine.
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing
That I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys,
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

And doesn't that sound familiar?
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver;
The way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar
That everyone wants a little more?
so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
could you leave me with a scar?

ah-ah-ah.

Where I Stood
By Missy Higgins

I dont know what i've done
Or if i like what i've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none
There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That i should go and this should end
Oh and i found my self listening

Cause i dont know who i am, who i am without you
All i know is that i should
And i dont know if i could stand another hand upon you
All i know is that i should
Cause she will love you more then i could
She who dares to stand where i stood

See i thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And i think i am just as torn inside

Cause i dont know who i am, who i am without you
All i know is that i should
And i dont know if i could stand another hand upon you
All i know is that i should
Cause she will love you more then i could
She who dares to stand where i stood

And I wont be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me then any one i've ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself
And so i say to you, this is what i have to do.

Cause i dont know who i am, who i am without you
All i know is that i should
And i dont know if i could stand another hand upon you
All i know is that i should
Cause she will love you more than i could
She who dares to stand where i stood
She who dares to stand where i stood.

The Lovers are Losing
by Keane

I dreamed I was drowning
In the river Thames
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

I dreamed I was drifting
On the howling wind
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing but my own skin

Slipped away from your open hands
Into river
Saw your face looking back at me
I saw my past, and I saw my future

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
The young lovers dance
I reached out to touch your hair
But I was watching from a distance

We cling to love like a skidding car
Clings to a corner
I tried to hold onto what we are
The more I squeeze, the quicker we're over

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

I dreamed I had nothing at all
(Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all
(Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all
(Nothing but my own skin)
I dreamed I had nothing at all
(Nothing at all)
I dreamed I had nothing at all
(Nothing at all)

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at this
Looks like
The lovers are losing

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cos you don't like the way they seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out on the floor
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Looks like
The lovers are losing

Spiralling
by Keane

Ooo
Ooo

I'm waiting
For my moment to come
I'm waiting
For the movie to begin
I'm waiting
For a revelation
I'm waiting for someone
To count me in

Cos now
I only see my dreams
In everything I touch
Feel their cold hands on
Everything that I love
Cold like some
Magnificent skyline
Out of my reach
But always
In my eyeline now

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

I fashioned you
From jewels and stone
I made you
In the image of myself
I gave you
Everything you wanted
So you would never know
Anything else

But everytime
I reach for you
You slip
Through my fingers
Into cold sunlight
Laughing at the things
That I had planned
The map of my world gets
Smaller as I sit here
Pulling at the loose
Threads now

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
Did you wanna be in love?

When we fall in love
We're just falling
In love with ourselves
We're spiralling

We're tumbling down
We're spiralling
Tied up to the ground
We're spiralling

Ooo
Ooo

I still haven't fixed the BR-tag/line-break problem yet.

I'm just gonna leave it as it is. IE has caused web-designers to waste so much time!

Just woke up after 3 hours nap ._.

Today's English Compre/Summary + E.Maths Full Paper is..... siao.

EMaths Paper 1 was damn easy =] Had time to check through five times.

Despite that, I realized I made a careless mistake on the last question.

Re-enactment:

-realizes mistake-

-looks at timer : 59MINUTES 40SECONDS-

Thoughts: OH SHIT WTF!????

-stares at paper-

Thoughts: OMG CAN CHANGE OR NO CHANGE!?

-looks at timer: 59 MINUTES 52SECONDS-

Thoughts: ONOZ

-looks at paper and timer back and forth-

Chief Examiner: Time's up.

Thoughts: NUUUU WTF????

-_- that's at least 4 marks gone. so... paper 1.. 36/40 maybe? -_-

Paper 2 is die die die die die. You get what I mean =[

Meh. ok. Time to go do some chem and Chinese. jiayou all =D

Don't stop now. Don't give up. Believe.

Something just struck my mind. It's October 15 soon. Guess what?

Do it.

Oh... I noticed my own blogging trend.

I tend to have seasonal blogging habits. Like... I can blog for 3 months and stop blogging for 3 months.

But! I realized it's not because of the changing seasons!

When I feel up, you'll see me be like a blog addict, posting almost everyday XD

When I feel extreme emo, omg, you see my blog stagnant like... mud?

Ohhhhh well D: I'm emo now. See you in three months time! jokes...

Well, this post is quite, to a certain extent, emo =x Well, more of reflective.

I was studying in the canteen, then you could hear the fun and love emanating from the three rooms =] yes. the three rooms -_- you know which three rooms they are in the canteen.

you can hear it ._. that togetherness, that fun, that love =D

and yet ._. im sitting outside alone in the canteen ._." with the cold wind blowing.

Ah. I tried to patch things up. But things aren't showing any progress yet. But wait, this is only the 1st day. Be confident and be optimistic! That's what is most important! Believe in the chances of success! Don't give up! I'm not done trying!

Well, I hope time will tell. I really hope.

But I'm suffering from the after-effects of the Cold War. I can't maintain eye contact with anyone from the SLOs for more than 2 seconds -_- That includes those who graduated with me from HIPS.

I can't convey my thoughts verbally to anyone yet because of this. Need some time to heal up. The blog's my only medium as of now.

Gah x_x my whole sec 3 life is wasted on nothingness -_-

On a lighter note, I bought a jacket =] Thanks Wei Jian XP

On a darker note, I wished I could take a picture of it with my Cybershot phone -_- I wish.

On the boundary between light and dark, Physics and MT Papers were okayyyyyy.

Erm... okayyyyyyyy, not much to explain.

2008-10-05T20:34:00.012+08:00

Lol. Making notes for physics have been quite a failure =_=

The textbook is lacking quite some material. The ten-year-series answer sheets are not provided by reliable educational sources.

For example:

Source: Ten-Year-Series Physics

Describe briefly how you would use a stopwatch or a stopclock to determine, as reliably as possible, the period of oscillation of the pendulum.

Ten-Year Series Answer:
The pendulum bob is displaced with the angle of displacement less than 5 degrees........... [bla bla bla]

Nooo! It's 10 degrees!

Uh huh :/

[credits to Wei Jian for confirmation =P]

i think it is not advised to write:

GPE = mgh or KE = ¹⁄₂(mv²)

according to the textbook is is...

E_p = mgh and E_k = ¹⁄₂(mv²)

use the correct symbols! =D
[note, the n and k beside the E are subscripts]

So... what do the teachers have for breakfast tomorrow?:
Mother Tongue Paper 1 [Essays]
Physics Paper 2 [Structured and Long Qns]
[they're gonna swallow us whole! D:]

haha. damien just revised the 3 types of format for letter writing with me on MSN.
not bad. can remember quite a bit =]

We have this mentality of instantly hating someone when we disagree.
But come on, most of us still know what's wrong and what's right, right?

And what is right, and what's more right.

Stop hallucinating that what you do is the best every time.
We are never perfect.

Who's near perfect and who's further?
You decide, but this time, leave your mirrors behind.

If you keep looking at it, you'll soon adapt to what you do.

What Your Handwriting Says About You

You are sometimes a very energetic person, but you are sometimes quite lethargic. You're moody, prone to ups and downs, and you don't have a lot of endurance.

You range from very outgoing to very shy. You are a shapeshifter who is very versatile. You adapt well, and you look at things from many angles.

You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.

You are a poor communicator. No one really knows exactly what you're getting at.

What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?

People are like suns
They are burning up inside
People are like suns

Woot =] How's the new blogskin? ^^

English and Social Studies was crazy today.

English was not toooooo bad. Informal Letter was a bit unorganized since I feared I didn't have time to finish it in time XD

An invigilator stopped and stood beside me while I was writing the first paragraph halfway. I didn't see his face o_o But my guess is R Ong ._. Oh no? Did I get my format wrong D:

Then I realized something wrong: Paragraphing. Lol. Everything should be flushed to the left!

For the free topic section, I chose Argumentative Essay

"Good progress in school is the result of good teachers." Do you agree?

This one's easy o_O Agreed to it and gave the points why ._. Hopefully I was elaborate enough XD Quite confident for this one. Probably the best argu essay ever written in my Sec 3 life.

Then for social studies....

Source A: A comment by a Victoria School student in an examination hall.

As soon as the signal was given and the timer began, first thing you hear that broke the silence of the hall was a flip. No, flips. People flipped open their question papers and started to scribble.

That was the only thing you hear other than the occasional muttering of "Shit!" throughout the examination. The scribbling was so intense that it could easily set the paper ablaze. But being Victorians, with our exceptional writing skills, manage to avoid that because we are fully aware of Mr Chia's Lessons on "Fire Prevention".

Okay, no, if we got such source-based questions, it'll be 100% stun.

Source-based question was nuts!!!!!!! Didn't complete it. Left the last question blank - Lost 7 marks. But structured essay question was quite a breeze. Quite. But I'm pretty confident I can get nearly 25/25 =]

Last minute mugging proved to be effective =x

But Thenaesh was kinda sad. He didn't revise and was doing his last minute revision in the library during the 50-minute break on Conflict in Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland (which was not going to be tested in SEQ since it's already done in CA2).

Bah :/ I lent him my notes while I was recalling all the points, at least he can get some points in his head =D

And yes! I gambled my entire fate of failing or passing Social Studies SA2 on the topic Bonding Singapore. If that topic didn't come out, oh no G_G

2-page essay per question - 50 minutes spent. That leaves 40 minutes for SBQ ._.

Damn mad... History paper is gonna be something like this again -_-"

Hmm.. The SBQ was about racial conflict in China. Chinese vs Tibetans. =_= I was thinking whether it was some sublimal message to the PRC scholars to tell their govt to free Tibet o_o

I mean seriously D: I can't imagine their faces when they saw this ._. Lol.

One of our sources in SBQ was this cartoon. This is the original version. The one in our paper had the speech bubble modified to fit to our exam context.

Oh well, bye, gotta revise Physics for Monday because E=MC^2 !

Anyway, I wrote the 3 letters.

Exams!

2008-10-02T21:34:00.004+08:00

New chapter begins.

New life, new blog skin, new tagboard soon. (after exams)

[click to enlarge]

Fraxue it.

2008-09-30T22:42:00.002+08:00

Okay, fraxue* it.

The past few emo posts deleted.

It is time to wake up, Yi Qi. Stop living in disillusion - it will lead to your self-destruction.

Listening to my mp3 which I have not listened for months suddenly gave me enlightenment on the bus to VS a few days back >_> Don't know why. But it just did.

The "Cold War" supposedly ended months ago. But come on, it is still there ._."
Time for some self-reflection and admit all the mistakes done.

Let's focus on the key issues here.

1) Soloist
That's probably where it all began. The 'solo' attitude of me has caused the relationship with everyone to be damn distant. In my opinion, the people around me, specifically the IT Club EXCO (Ahmad, Dzafir, Ernest, Kenwin, Andres, Jon, and many others) and gradually the people around them were under impression that I distrusted their capability to do work or I was being very self-centred. Many have advised me to distribute the workload, but my stubborn mindset still continued.

Hence, I messed up the running of the club.
Competitions Dept - I tried to handle it and even solo-ed Cyberfair. Yes, we came back with a Gold, but the only one who had a sense of achievement was probably me. The Gold didn't mean anything to them.
Attendance Dept - Kenwin was in charge of the administrative details such as attendance but I took the job away from him. He even asked if he could do the job.
Estate Management Dept - Supposed to be Ernest's job. But again, I kind of stole his job. Then there was this conflict, where I replaced him, claiming that he "did not do his job as estate mgt". Yea, I was being ridiculous.
Web Design/Video Dept - The craziest thing to do - Solo the two website layouts, and even some of the programme details without even consulting the two chairman. Lack of communication messed the whole thing up.

2) Procrastination
Big factor. I don't have a habit of keeping a timetable. Hence my mind is always confused on what times and what dates. And I seldom set specific deadlines for specific tasks. This "flexibility" gave me the space to procrastinate and procrastinate till the last minute. And with the 'solo' attitude, it means more workload cramped in a small amount of time.

With the messed up result due to procrastination, the EXCO had to be reprimanded along with me, because of me.

3) Responsibility
Throughout the year, I seriously don't know what the hell I'm thinking. I have always been under impression that the EXCO are disinterested in club affairs. And when matters are going the negative way, I am reminded that they are disinterested in club affairs, hence I have to solo, and then have less time to finish it up, and then people get scolded along with me.

So I end up making myself more hated by others.

Better late than never? Is it too late to bury hatchet? ._." Bah.

Year full of downs and a few ups for me. Well, at least I take back something with me when I leave Sec 3 - To have a more open heart, and look at the more positive side of things. Don't go solo, work with others and enjoy the fruit of labour together.

To all those who have tried to help me as the year went by, thank you so much and I'm so sorry to disappoint you time and time again. I ask for your forgiveness.

Thanks for reading.

Resigned.

Solution

2008-07-25T13:43:00.003+08:00

Life is just an occupation of time.
Death is the end result of all.
No matter how hard you work,
you'll die.

"Your reputation will last thousands of years."
True, but how many people truly appreciate your contributions?
Whateva, I'm not starting any argument.
So I don't accept rebuttals.
This is my stand. I'm just stating it.
There's no one I'm trying to convince.
Or whatsoever.

I'm also resigning from the IT Club EXCO.
Since I became Chairman in March,
troubles and conflicts began.
I couldn't get anything done,
even at the peak of my enthu-ness.

So what's the point of staying?
Even if I really wanted to be invested in SLI,
it makes the investment pointless, meaningless.
I've done shit.

If you're an alumni, you're reading this, you wanna talk to me.
I've got two wards for you.
F.O.

I'll just be an ordinary VS student.
I guess that's more suitable for me.

SA1

2008-04-27T15:30:00.005+08:00

SA1 is coming. First paper is Social Studies and HCL compo paper.

As always, I think I'm gonna die. Social Studies is like modern singapore history ._.

02 May: Social Studies and HCL Paper 1
05 May: EL Paper 1 and HCL Paper 2
06 May: EL Paper 2 and EMaths
07 May: Bio paper (Yay I dunnid come to school.)
08 May: Chemistry
09 May: AMaths
12 May: History or Geog Elective Paper.
13 May: Physics Paper and PE (no PE exam for me)
14 May: Geog Core, DnT and Higher Art (no DnT and Art for me)
15 May: Higher Art (not my paper, no need come school!)

So my exams end on 14 May. Last paper is Geog Core.

x-country, resiliency

2008-04-24T20:03:00.002+08:00

long time no update.

yesterday we had national cross-country championships.
i ponned resiliency course to go to botanic gardens to support.
very fun, although there was social discrimination.

anyway, we cheered hard with VJC.
i think the Victorians from both VJ and VS were cheering the most.
but some pissy people had to play chess and dun cheer.
wonder wtf were they there for.

first the C div ran. ran and ran.
we emerged 4th.
then B div ran. ran and ran.
we emerged 1st! that's a championship!

and during the prize presentation, it began to rain.
we were the last crowd to disperse while other groups sought shelter.
after all, "We fight in the sun, we fight in the rain."
the prize presentation ceremony was cancelled,
and we had to wait for the rain to stop.
after about 30 minutes or so,
the rain was still pouring but slightly less.
so VS people went outside and cheered.

first came the Victorian anthem,
then VS Unite,
then a series of VS cheers,
then the Victorian anthem again,
and an organized, not messy, VS Spelling Cheer.

and then everyone dismissed.

today, everyone greeted mr low loudly when he went on stage.
yes, obviously, for good news =)
he announced that we will have full day off next wednesday.
yay =)

ok. today i attended the second half of the resiliency course.
kind of useful. very interesting.
there was martial arts demonstration halfway through,
to keep our attention span.

anyway, i found out i probably is suffering from chronic sadness
and clinical depression.

lol -_- and probably chronic anger too?

parkour

2008-04-19T18:41:00.003+08:00

wahaha. safi showed us parkour videos yesterday.

i found this one on his blog. damn nice.

if you dunno what parkour is,
it's something that is very useful in an emergency,
such as fleeing from your enemy.

you need to overcome all obstacles xD
trains your mental and physical thinking ability
as you need to know how to do various stuff in split of a second.
yea, around there.

safi also showed us portfolio.
i think we should have an online portfolio for all to view ur past works.
and also serve as a record for you xD

legacy

2008-04-16T22:59:00.003+08:00

every batch of it club EXCO leave a legacy behind.

what would the legacy my batch will leave behind?
will it be revolutionary?

the answer lies in time.

nth today

2008-04-15T19:17:00.002+08:00

aiyo, today's exco meeting was postponed to tmr T_T
low attendance, in fact, too low xD
dzafir had this last minute red-shirt thing
endy had dramafest rehearsal xD
and of cos other unfortunate circumstances.

tmr is the first e-learning meeting, yay.
so ya, we're gonna have exco meeting con-currently >_>

so today, had nothing to do after school.
went to jalan around.
and then hanged around SEA room with yongjie,
while waiting for Wei Jian to finish his Chem Make-up lesson.

realized NCC(SEA) had a proposal for every training session,
it is to report to their Teacher I/C,
and also to make sure the Part Cs know what they're doing.

not bad la =)
i wanna try such 'system' in IT Club also.

oh ya, yesterday a sec 2 floorball guy kena caned.
-_-" for smoking, bullying, truancy.
siao lor.
two consecutive schooldays of caning.

and then this morning mr low told mr ikhwan,
to give a presentation on the usage of IT facilities in school.
in which it reminded me of the List of Concerns in IT Labs
that i was supposed to type out and hand it to mr ikhwan,
for lab access.

and i have geog mock exam this friday -_-"
plate tectonics, weather and climate, natural vegetation.
aiyo. die T_T
wish me luck xD

and SA's coming in two weeks.
wtf.
so fast.
and i didn't realize.
i'm still tied down with IT Club stuff.
and that's the first thing i'm on my mind.
no time to think about studies.

"Mid-years are not an excuse for CCA o_o?"

haha.

ok, anyway, cya.

2.4

2008-04-14T21:24:00.004+08:00

today during p.e. we ran 2.4km.

thought i was gonna fail 'cos the first round i took 4.5min.
in the end i passed and my timing was 12:56. yay!
enough to get Grade D!
usually i reach the borderline of just-pass.

today i made a breakthrough and got grade D.
which implies that i have a chance of getting napfa Silver this year.
but not necessarily.
cos pull-ups now come real pull-ups, no longer inclined ones.
so ya, that'll pull me down to grade E, hence Bronze napfa D:

then just now at 8pm-9pm,
tuned it to Ch 8 while dinnering.
there was this Chinese Language Challenge thingy.
and there were 3 China VS boys.
mind you, Chinese from China, not Chinese Singaporeans.

and we lost to Si Li Sec School by 10 points at the last round.
and won Catholic High by 14 points at the last round.
erm, practically,
it was a competition between Chinese from China in Singapore xD

ok anyway, Night Study Programme starts tmr.
one of these days, i'll pop in to study =x
i haven't touch my books for about 2 or more weeks.
and i got 22/25 for A.Math Test. YAY ^_^

please highlight the following line and read it it, if you have no life:
you have no life

wahaha. bye.

sharing about his days in MJ.
and he mentioned about some funny clips on collegehumor.com

Minesweeper the Movie and Facebook Off.
Both are fake trailers by collegehumor.com -_-

and today, after badminton-ing at Qiaonan,
went to Hougang market as usual for lunch =)
then we went to Value Dollar shop.
i think the banner on top saying "CLOSING DOWN SALE"

3rd April 2008

Very eventful day. =)

Had the annual CCA photo-taking.
And IT Club was having theirs today.

Kay Fong sat with the EXCO on the bottom bench,
because there was an odd number of people.
Yay =) But, no problem with that la.
'Cos, theoretically speaking,
he's our EXCO's advisor.

Okay, then it was games day,
by the Sec2s,
in-charge were Berwin and Ian.
Was a success, finally.
And not only that,
it turned out very, very good.

They've got the hall to let us play floorball,
unlike in the past, we play at the parade square.

Then it was a match among the lower sec,
and a small area for practice for the upper sec and alumni.

Then after the lower-sec match,
the upper sec and alumni go into the main area.
lower sec go to the practice area.

at first, i thought we're gonna thrashed by alumni -.-
they had gordon, winston, ryan and safi D:
ended up we win =)

then we had winner vs winner.
Sec 2 vs Sec 3s.
woah. we lost -_-
obviously luh =x
sec 2s had floorball pple like berwin, jonathan, ian.
we had only dzafir.

- continues to add sore-loser comments -

LOL. ok ok. jk =x
shall not be sore-loser.

then games day was dismissed.
and some of us stayed back to play more.
we got half of the hall for our own floorball.
the half was taken by teachers to play soccer.

haha.

then we kind of re-matched with the alumni xD
and i scored my very first 2 floorball goals of my life =x
anyway we still won ^_^

then we kept the barriers and goalposts,
and the teachers played full court.
then we sat at the stage steps to watch.

yea.

we acted like crazy spectators.
and i forgot who shouted "FELICIA YEO"
because mr wong wai lit was also playing.

haha.

best.

very fun day =)

eventful. fwee!

playing april fool joke on them.

so they were caught in a fight.
then 6th floor was like crowded la.
two people argue and argue.
then suddenly got fists -.-
so their friends tried to separate them,.
then got abuse hurled here and there.

damn sad sia. worse april fools' for them, maybe.

but anyway, if you haven't realized.

the above mentioned content is an april fools' joke.

hey it's still 11.36pm =)

so anyway, first things first.

i arrived school late this morning.
thank you SBS for sending that bus late.
i boarded at 7.00pm, like wow -.-"
waited since 6.30pm.

ok anyway, reached school at 7.40pm.
got booked by prefects, duh =x

ok anyway, then april fools'!
cos i missed all the announcements at assembly,
i went to check with timothy and peng chuen in class.

then they were like spamming:
"today and tomorrow half-day,
cos cricket and hockey won."

so i replied, "eh, sure not april fools' ah?"
then they "half-day when got joke one!"
i was like "oh ya."

then for the whole period of time until recess,
i was planning on what to do
when school supposedly ended at 10.45am.

then recess came.
everyone not carrying bag -_-
then i realized, i was aprils' fool ._."

2008-03-29T14:30:00.006+08:00

fwee.

yesterday went to pasta de waraku,
with linlin, jianqi, irene, sis and me.

it was at central (c),
some mall just next to singapore river,
at clarke quay.

was flipping through the menu,
which was spammed with photographs,
which more or less looked alike
since they were in the same category.

then couldn't decide what to eat.
so jianqi helped me ordered
some dish in which the name i forgot.
sth like "Chicken Egg" and something.

it was part of a set meal,
that comes with corn soup and pizza =)
the meal was really delicious.

after that,
we ordered desserts.
Oreo Parfait and Tiramisu Parfait.

very nice lor.
also at the bottom there was cornflake =)

guitarrrrrr

2008-03-24T21:22:00.002+08:00

wah, feel like playing acoustic guitar now.
but buying one would be costly o_o $200? $300?

teaching how to play Better Be Home Soon by crowded house.

=)

fwee!

ok anyway, we all agree that Internet Explorer sucks.

it gave me more work to do now.
i have to fix my cyberfair website so it looks okay in IE.
i did so, and now it looks screwed on firefox.
so i reverted whole thing.
and i wasted don't know how long.
and it's still not fixed.

-.-"

Microsoft, please ditch IE and pay Mozilla for their Firefox.

getting the momentum back on

2008-03-18T20:12:00.006+08:00

it has been so stagnant since the current EXCO has taken over.
NEWDC/NEVC was one tough nut to crack,
and it still is. -_-"

but anyway, things are starting to fall into place.
and we should try to keep it there,
or else it falls apart =(

ViSIT work is gonna start soon,
the engine for NEWDC/NEVC is gonna run faster,
and club activities will proceed.

while the NEWDC/NEVC won't be that grand,
at least we make it uniquely Sec 3 EXCO'08

=)

anyway L1R5 reflected on CA Progress Report is:
13

not really good, but anyway, there's still 3 months.
good motivation yea?

so for all those out there who didn't really get good marks,
THERE IS STILL 3 MONTHS.
hope that motivates you =)

because................................................

picking up...

2008-03-16T21:31:00.003+08:00

ok i just done some work for cyberfair.
now taking a break =x

as i was designing the website,
i realized what my designing style was more or less about.

BLOGS.

yes. the answer was blogs -_-"

i've made blogskins,
and my cyberfair website design
was actually inspired my blogskins.

so ya, there you go ^_^

http://itclub.vs.moe.edu.sg/cyberfair08/

please do tag ur comments here =)

oh yes, and when u navigate from page-to-page,
and u see the pages jerk left/right,
it's because of the damned scrollbar on ur right,
because the position of those contents there
are based on the width of your screen.

so if the scrollbar pops up there, the width is smaller.
so the position is shifted.

Biofuels : The FAKE Climate Change Solution

2008-03-15T15:06:00.003+08:00

Received an e-mail from Avaaz.org:

Dear friends,

EU and US demand for biofuels is pushing up world food prices and increasing climate emissions.

Each day, 820 million people in the developing world do not have enough food to eat¹. Food prices around the world are shooting up, sparking food riots from Mexico² to Morocco³. And the World Food Program warned last week that rapidly rising costs are endangering emergency food supplies for the world's worst-off⁴.

How are the wealthiest countries responding? They're burning food.

Specifically, they're using more and more biofuels--alcohol made from plant products, used in place of petrol to fuel cars. Biofuels are billed as a way to slow down climate change. But in reality, because so much land is being cleared to grow them, most biofuels today are causing more global warming emissions than they prevent⁵, even as they push the price of corn, wheat, and other foods out of reach for millions of people⁶.

Not all biofuels are bad--but without tough global standards, the biofuels boom will further undermine food security and worsen global warming. Click here to use our simple tool to send a message to your head of state before this weekend's global summit on climate change in Chiba, Japan, and help build a global call for biofuels regulation:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/biofuel_standards_now/9.php?cl=60267306

Sometimes the trade-off is stark: filling the tank of an SUV with ethanol requires enough corn to feed a person for a year⁷. But not all biofuels are bad; making ethanol from Brazilian sugar cane is vastly more efficient than US-grown corn, for example, and green technology for making fuel from waste is improving rapidly.

The problem is that the EU and the US have set targets for increasing the use of biofuels without sorting the good from the bad. As a result, rainforests are being cleared in Indonesia to grow palm oil for European biodiesel refineries, and global grain reserves are running dangerously low. Meanwhile, rich-country politicians can look "green" without asking their citizens to conserve energy, and agribusiness giants are cashing in. And if nothing changes, the situation will only get worse.

What's needed are strong global standards that encourage better biofuels and shut down the trade in bad ones. Such standards are under development by a number of coalitions⁸, but they will only become mandatory if there's a big enough public outcry. It's time to move: this Friday through Saturday, the twenty countries with the biggest economies, responsible for more than 75% of the world's carbon emissions⁹, will meet in Chiba, Japan to begin the G8's climate change discussions. Before the summit, let's raise a global cry for change on biofuels:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/biofuel_standards_now/9.php?cl=60267306

A call for change before this week's summit won't end the food crisis, or stop global warming. But it's a critical first step. By confronting false solutions and demanding real ones, we can show our leaders that we want to do the right thing, not the easy thing.

As Kate, an Avaaz member in Colorado, wrote about biofuels, "Turning food into oil when people are already starving? My car isn't more important than someone's hungry child."

It's time to put the life of our fellow people, and our planet, above the politics and profits that too often drive international decision-making. This will be a long fight. But it's one that we join eagerly--because the stakes are too high to do anything else.

With hope,

Ben, Ricken, Iain, Galit, Paul, Graziela, Pascal, Esra'a, Milena -- the Avaaz.org team

happy? or sad?

2008-03-14T20:49:00.002+08:00

Today there was Games Day organized by the Sec 2s.
Poor communication between their batch.
Even the I/C for the day, Hui Yao,
didn't even know when it was supposed to start.
So yea, they got screwed for that =X
I tried to talk to them in a friendlier way,
but I realized it wasn't as impactful as Ryan's way.

Okay, anyway, Games Day,
reached VS at about 8.10am.
JJ came at around 8.30am with the keys.
I went into the room,
and I saw the whiteboard,
in black ink, "Chairman: Yi Qi"

Okay -_- so Jon and Ernest weren't teasing me.
I was really elected as chairman ._.
So, at that moment, I was stunned.
And I felt both happy and sad.

Okay, reasons of why happy and sad,
I'll just state briefly.
Happy, because I'm given the opportunity.
Sad, because Dzafir was dethroned.
More details, I shall not write them here -_-

So after Games Day where the juniors had soccer at the Tennis Court,
the alumni, Ahmad and me went to Burger King for lunch! =)
Then some of the alumni, Ahmad and me went back to VS -_-
Supposed to study, but ended up slacking around xD

Student Leaders' Convention 2008

2008-03-13T21:46:00.012+08:00

DAY ONE: 11th MARCH 2008

Food Supplies:
[x] One tin can full of egg rolls (Or you guys call it "Love Letters")
[x] One packet of some snacks I don't know -.-

Reached VS at 7pm.
Took out and ate a few egg rolls.
Then Yong Kang came.
Took a few.
I told them to pass around and share.
Pass back to me, the tin was 1/3 gone xD

After SLC Day One, passed around again,
it was totally empty -.-
so, the inaugural
1st Victoria School
STUDENT LEADERS' CONVENTION 2008
unofficially started with Danial saying "hi."
and separating us into our designated groups.
And these groups have names like:
Vulcan, Gerra, Pele, Hepahestus, Brigid,
Vesta, Hestia (WOOT IM IN IT =D), Belanus,
Adranus (or we call it A-dry-anus),
so and so forth with some other weird names.
They were actually names of fire gods of different cultures.

QUESTION: WHY FIRE?

Because, the theme chosen for this year's SLC was fire.
In Malay, it's called 'api'.
And they made 'api' an acronym for three things:
Aspire
Pespire
Inspire

Okay, so the expected turnout was 70+,
mostly red shirts,
but the actual turn out was 50+.
The expected turnout was counted
according to the invited participants' forms,
which indicated if they could attend or not.

My group had quite a low turnout as well.
The first day only Ian, Yu Liang, Luqman and me.
There were some others,
including Yong Jie, Caleb, Quinn, Bing Yu, Hafidzhin.
Some had floorball, NPCC stuff. the rest, don't know.

And about 20 didn't show up o_o"
So the inaugural VS 1st SLC was officially opened
with Mr Low's opening talk on leadership,
the What and How of Leadership.

He shared two books,
one about the What, (21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader)
and one about the How, (The Choice of Hercules)
and also shared about his own experience.

Regarding stress management as a leader,
he also shared about his life as a principal
and as some high-ranking officer in the Army.

After that, we had Icebreakers.
Played SPLAT, BLANKET, CHOP CHILLI CHOP CHOP,
THE PULSE, CONCENTRATION.

Then we all went to East Coast Hawker Centre for lunch,
where I had Chicken Rice and Sugar Cane drink =)
I missed these two stuff which I've not eaten for long time T_T

After lunch, we had a talk by High Achievers Training Consultancy,
who coached us about Power of Influence,
talking about the 4'Cs, the 5 levels of leadership,
and so on... It was fun and very engaging.
At first all of us were thinking it was going to be boring.

Then after that, we had Massacre of the Whombies,
a fantastic name by Yu Fan and Jason -_-"
It was actually the same gameplay as I've played during ITC camp.
haha, WHO KILLED RYAN YANG?
Except that we didn't have to dig the sand pit,
and look for a lightsabre which was actually a cardboard sword,
under heavy rain.

So ya, the OC tried to keep us dry =)
Taufik joined Hestia after he joined in the SLC late because of some stuff.
Luqman couldn't join us in the event because he was a SLC Sec 3 Facil,
so ya ._. he's a station master,
so we'll have to hunt for him at some point in the game.

We were supposedly the fastest group.
Then halfway, somehow screwed up,
we ended up FOURTH.
And I was like "wtf o_o"

Anyway, good work Hestia =) HAIL HESTIA. lol.

After the game, there was a reflection session,
and to "celebrate", we were each given ONE Colon biscuit,
with wasabi filling -_- which we didn't notice.

So we chewed it, we TASTED the wasabi,
and puked it out at the sink -_-
But I swallowed it bitterly T_T

Then everyone was dismissed.
Some of us, including me ^_^, stayed over.
During the night we did our homework.
And in the middle, we took some breaks,
to play badminton, play mahjong,
play guitar, randomly running around shouting randomly,
and some of them even went ghost-hunting,
to purposely find fun in scaring themselves =)

Hafidzhin arrived during the night and a lot of us
were doing homework.
And we did homework until 3.15am -_-"
Then I slept. xD

Those ghost-hunters, Ziyad, Azmi, Sidney, Taufik,
and one or two more of the others took photos,
looked into them and scared themselves.
And they slept at 5am ++

LOL. And SLC Day Two was supposed to start at 7.30a.m.

DAY TWO: 12TH MARCH 2008

We started off with playing station games
that put some skills into play.

Then a talk by ex-Victorian Kelvin Chan about commanding respect,
another talk by Mr Munir about Examplary Leadership.

Then the whole SLC participants were split into groups for lunch.
Lunch was at venues that we were going to have our game "Photohunt".
It's like amazing race, but in a smaller area.

Our group went to Tampines Mall/Century Square for the game.
And lunched at the food court in TM.
And the game rule was that
we had to be in the food court for one whole hour,
before we can start the game.

So anyway, we started off with Danial giving us the clue sheet,
with 10 clues on it.
Then we embarked on the game up and down TM and Century Sq.
So after hours of exhausted walking,
we finally gave up and rested at Macdonalds,
before returning to another Macdonalds outlet in Tampines Interchange,
where the Sec 4s were mugging and Danial was sleeping.

Camped there for an hour or so,
had dinner,
went back VS.
Was so tiring 6.10am -_-"
rawr, went back to sleep.

DAY THREE: 13TH MARCH 2008

It was the last day of SLC.
There was a Wake-Up activity for all of us,
which was playing basketball.
But I didn't feel like going.
So some of us who didn't play basketball,
followed Weng Keong to the AVA room,
where we watched a movie called Paradise Now.

It's a movie about the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
So it's about two terrorists that were sent to attack,
in their last 48 hours before their mission.

Okay, anyway, back to SLC,
after that, the people came from basketball to AVA room,
and we had 3 talks by the heads of the 3 SLOs.
[x] Instruction Briefing by Glenn of PSB.
[x] Event Organisation by Weng Keong of MC.
[x] Taking Initiative by Tarang of PB.

Then we had a reflections session and convention review.
Basically, we reflected for the past three days,
and whatever we have learnt.
I won't write them all here -_-
I'm lazy =x
Anyway, we seriously learnt a lot.
At least, for me and some others.

Then after lunch,
we played some Water Games at the Parade Square.
It was the last activity we had before we closed SLC.

The Water Games were so damn fun.
During the water bombs one, it was like Sec 4s versus Sec 3s. xD
And a few KC girls who were here for some Chinese Orchestra exchange,
almost got poured with water by the Sec 4s at the skybridge,
because Yogi gave the wrong signal -_-

Lol, he didn't notice they were there.
So ya, the water landed right in front of the girls,
and they were screaming o_o"

3 cheers for all Sec 4s and all other OC members,
who helped to organize the inaugural 1st VS SLC 2008.
Thanks for the wonderful convention!

=)

2008-03-12T21:18:00.002+08:00

am currently in MC room blogging. xD

now it's the 2nd night of SLC. tomorrow last day.

i'll blog more about SLC next time xDDD

cya =x

Back from Kahang!

2008-03-09T16:34:00.018+08:00

Hey guys!
I'm back from Sec 3 Overseas Adventure Camp,
in Kahang!

The campsite was in a organic rice eco farm,
called Kahang Organic Rice Eco Farm, or KOREF

DAY ONE: 5TH MARCH 2008

I arrived at VS at around 7.00pm,
saw fellow Sec 3s gathering around the canteen.
Don't know why also,
so I just put down my baggage and went to buy snacks for camp =D

we didn't know we needed to gather at the parade square,
so the prefects rushed us there at around 7.20pm,
when they realized "WHERE ARE THE SEC 3s OMG?"

so after morning assembly,
we stayed behind for some admin purposes.
we received our Sec 3 Overseas Adventure Camp T-Shirt
it's designed by Endy Fitri from 3I,
can't take photo of it, it's in the washing machine now xD

ok, so we got onto the bus to Kahang,
it was a 2.5 + 0.75 hour = 3.25 hours ride,
and we finally reached KOREF.
Most of us weren't so enthu about the camp,
including ME.

the campsite was part of the farm.
so we walked along a rocky road from the carpark,
past the tentage area,
to the supposedly Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH)
which was a wooden shack with concrete floor.

Next to it was the cookhouse,
where we would be having our meals.
OH YES. Organic rice is NICE!!!
it's the same as organic rice,
if not, BETTER!!

seriously, it's good.

Okay, so it started to drizzle,
then the sky decided to spam rain.
So we had to pitch our tents in heavy rain -.-"
Our tent was supposed to include:
Timothy, Wee Bian, Peng Chuen, Jordan, Ernest and me.

but the damn tent couldn't be set up for some reason or another.
we changed the tent poles for like 4 times or more,
and it still couldn't be pitched -.-

others were already done with their tents,
while ours was still problematic.
it was only until night time when we changed tents.

a 6-man tent, changed to two 4-man tents.
so yea, we split into two tents.
one was timothy, peng chuen and ernest.
the other was wee bian, jordan and me.
AND WATER WAS SEEPING THROUGH THE SIDES
but i think we managed to dry it up using towels.

ok, so for Day 1, we had Nature Walk,
a walk along the Sungei Madek river
by a nature guide Alice from NParks.
the walk was crappy as we walked through muddy paths,
with leeches
I was lucky enough not to get any leech bites xD
but the Kluang-didas shoes gave me blisters
because it was too loose,
and the back of the shoe was simply too hard.

and then after the walk,
we gathered at the MPH,
AND SUDDENLY A LEECH APPEARED ON MY ARM.
lewis helped me to get it off,
but strangely enough,
there was blood coming out of my hand.

Hence, I hereby infer:
that the leech was sucking my blood at my hand,
then I accidentally pulled it off without knowing,
so the blood continued to flow,
then the leech crawled to my arm,
and that was when I realized it.

lol. skill la, leech bite on hand >_>

DAY TWO: 6th MARCH 2008

We had egg and beehoon for breakfast.
It was, good =x
really la, the meals there are seriously BAGUS.

the weather was very perfect and cool,
because the previous day was hella rainy.

Okay, so today we woke up,
and had breakfast and got ready to move off.

Move off to where?

to Gunung Lambak,
some mountain we're supposed to trek,
as part of the Adventure Camp.
so 3A to 3E embarked on a 45min bus journey to Lambak.

I made good use of the time to sleep,
in case I get too tired for the day =)
Yes, take advantage of such bus rides. ^_^

ok, when we reached Lambak,
we have some safety briefing,
then we began to trek.

then Lewis panted so heavily,
like he was gonna die o_o,
only for the first part of the trek,
which was filled with not-so-steep steps.

so he stopped at the first rest-point,
and the rest continued.
the next part of the trek, was darn steep,
and u cannot continue unless you make use of the ropes there.
and ascend was kinda boring.

and then finally, we reached the summit.
along the way,
SEET JOON HAU had to extra extra by chionging,
and then overtake some of the 3C people at the back.
ernest was like so pissed by him xD

ok, rested for a while,
then we began to descend.
the descend was fun,
because there was this gravity factor that made it scary.
and i was so scared of Krishen because he kept slipping,
and he was behind me xD

the trekking was fun la ^_^
after we reached the bottom of Lambak,
we had organic chicken rice,
which was gooooooooood =)

then mirza, daniel and another two fellas (can't rmb)
had bottle cap soccer.
some of the instructors were like watching the match also.

we had a verrryyyyy looooonnnng wait.
we were waiting for 3F to 3J to arrive,
so that we could take the same bus back to KOREF.

after Lambak trekking, we had raft-building.
we were given ropes, 2 barrels, 2 long sparse, 4 long sparse.
we were also taught some rope-tying skills,
like those you learn in scouts.
and so, KIN TUCK was on HIGH DEMAND!!
yea, but in the end his group's raft sank anyway.

so timothy, weebian, jordan, benjamin, qiquan, bjorn and me
altogether had to build one raft.
everyone was building more or less the same raft-design.
and then qiquan was like "eh, just follow theirs la"

but the point was whether theirs would even work.
so we became innovative!! (actually, only timothy)
at the start, we were so un-enthu.
timothy wasn't really enthu as well,
but he wanted to get the best out of it, i think.

so he was taking the initiative,
while the rest of us just followed.
seriously, we weren't enthu about the thing,
and just stoned around, help here, help there, done.

then came the fun and pissy part.
we need to test our rafts.
we were the last to go,
so we enjoyed laughing at all rafts that sunk.

and we were like"wah scully our one work"
we pushed our rafts into the muddy water.
AND stepped in, ONTO THE MUD.
and you could feel all the mud rush into your kluang-didas shoes -.-"
ok, so timothy got on to the rafts.
at first it LOOKED stable,
but then it began to shake,
then the ropes became loose,
and everything fell apart.

and then we were all laughing and laughing!
timothy fell into the water,
and jokingly jumped about, saying:
"OH NO IM DROWNING IM DROWNING!!! SAVE ME!"
haha. so funny luh.

He They who laughs last laughs best =)

anyway, while we were building our rafts,
ms pesvien neo passed by.
here's an excerpt from jordan's blog to describe the incident:

Ms Neo: "You know... some of these rafts... they're just so horrendous! Why not you tell them [the students] about it?"

Instructor Faren (or however you spell his name): "Nono... it's not about whether they succeed or not. It's about the learning experience..."

Ms Neo: "Wow... some of them are honestly terrible..."

lol.

DAY THREE: 7TH MARCH 2008

woot! finally it was day 3, and we were all so happy =)
just one more day back to Singapore.
BUT CLASS 3C WAS STILL WITHOUT THEIR CAMPFIRE ITEM

GG.

and i didn't expect Day 3 to be freaking hot day -.-

before lunch, we had water obstacles and bamboo rafting.

water obstacles was fun.
there were:
a V-bridge,
a one-log balancing beam,
a labalaba (o_o),
a zigzag balancing beam,
a parallel two-log beam,
another one-log balancing beam (this time, thicker and less slippery),
a X-bamboo beam (curved and extremely slippery!),
a ROPE SWING =)

i overcome all obstacles except the labalaba and the parallel beam.
for the labalaba, u had to climb this wall of net over to the other side.
but i had height phobia, so i simply WALKED AROUND IT.
as for the parallel beam, i tried to attempt it kin tuck.
but i lost my balance and fell into the muddy water -.-
and lucky kin tuck didn't fell, and finished the obstacle.
and when u fall, u have lotus roots grabbing ur legs D:

after i finished, we watched others do the water ob.
some sadistic classmates pushed their classmate backwards at the rope swing.
LOL. so they end up in the water xD

mr siow and mr su were also attempting the water ob.
and 3B was like,
"MR SIOW, FALL! MR SIOW, FALL!"

okay, after water ob, we had BAMBOO RAFTING.
this was fun too =D
we needed to try out 2-man and 4-man rafts.

for the 2-man raft i paired up with Kin Tuck.
yes, we had an agreement =)
and a very strategic one =D
for some reason, the 2-man raft will go slightly below water,
causing ur backside to become wet.
some rafts even sink in water.
but due to the fact that kin tuck and me were lightweight,
our raft was just... perfect.
when kin tuck and me anchored back to shore,
bjorn and wei loong were still struggling to stablilize their raft =x

then for the 4-man raft,
my group consisted of kin tuck, asaph, jordan and me.
our raft crashed onto jun yeang's raft on the first part of the rafting -_-
then on the way back we ALMOST crashed onto ernest's raft.
lol.

after lunch, we had Inter-Class Telematch.
There was Water Polo and Captain's Ball.
basically both are the same sport,
just that one was in water, one was on land.
10 players per class per sport. rest? SUPPORTERS =)

felt a bit sian so i became a supporter >_>
the water polo was at the pond behind the cookhouse.
i expected it to be muddy.
so did everyone else.
but!!! it was NOT! it was SANDY. seriously =D

ok so 3C was playing against 3D in water polo,
and we were owning 4-0.
then suddenly, 3D caught up, it became:
3C 4-6 3D
everyone was stun lor!

when 3A played against 3B,
it was a rough match -_-
3A PRC Scholars vs 3B sportsmen -_-
3A thought it was basketball,
3B thought it was rugby.

so 3A was like throwing the ball basketball style.
3B was like ramming everywhere.
unsurprisingly 3B won.

okay blablabla,
unsurprisingly 3B championed the Water Polo.
then we received news that
unsurprisingly 3B championed Captain's Ball too.

-.- anyway, halfway through "supporting",
i jumped into the other half of the pond
which was not part of the playing area.
and SPLASH!
the water splashed onto Sean Chin,
who was enjoying the coolness of the water under the hot sun.
and i felt it was cool too =D

then daniel teo grabbed me and darryl tung tried to taupok me -_-
and they pushed me under the water.
and my knee fell on the sand hard!
then bleed -_-
rawr.

after telematch,
we had to dismantle our tents,
so that we could leave on time at 8.30a.m. on Day 4.
before the roads get jammed because of the M'sia elections.
the funny part the instructors hurried us up,
like as though we had to evacuate the place immediately xD

and some were like,
"WTF ARE WE LEAVING AT 8.30PM !?"

then after dinner, we had SOME time to prepare campfire item.
we manage to come up with a comical class cheer =)
and HALF A SKIT, which was not brought out =x
campfire shall be extracted from jordan's blog =x

The campfire itself was an utter failure, what with more than half of 3C fast asleep on the insect-infested groundsheets.

The aforementioned crappy skit was basically a parody of what we were going through during the camp:

*class is fast asleep*

Instructor: "Good morning Victorians. The time now is 2.45am. You have 5 minutes to report outside the MPH. I repeat, the time now is 2.46am. You have 5 minutes to gather outside the MPH."

*class wakes up and slowly trudges towards the MPH for assembly; class stands at attention - perfectly still*

Instructor: "Stop fidgeting! STOP FIDGETING, I TELL YOU!! All those with watches, please raise your hand. What time is it now?"

Students: "3am, sir."

Instructor: "I SAID NO FIDGETING!!"

*Daniel randomly stands up and sings the National Anthem*

*our skit ends here because we didn't have enough time to finish the plot*

Zzz. Our cheer was much more... interesting.
"3, 2, 1!
We love...
KULANDAYAN THIRUNAVUKARASU!
We love...
KULANDAYAN THIRUNAVUKARASU!
We love...
KULANDAYAN THIRUNAVUKARASU!
One squat! *squat*
Two squats! *squat squat*
Eleven squats! *vibrate*
THIRU!!!~"

lol. ok anyway. as jordan mentioned >_>
3C got so screwed for campfire.
not because we got no skit,
but because a huge percentage of our class
~~laid down on the groundsheets and slept~~ stayed awake.

well, other classes and some other RED SHIRTS fell asleep too,
BUT AT LEAST DON'T LIE DOWN ON THE GROUND SHEETS.
IT WAS SO FREAKING OBVIOUS ALTHOUGH IT WAS IN THE DARK.

after all the skits by the classes and the instructors and stuff,
we rose to sing the VS anthem.
did a very clear VS Spelling Cheer,
VS Unite, VS Boleh

and halfway through the cheering
by ENTHU and HYPER red shirts and non-red shirts,
SOME red shirts had to stop the cheering.
~~anti-climax noob shit~~

mirza and me were like so disappointed.
and some red shirts gave the excuse of NO TIME.
i pose a question, HOW LONG CAN CHEERING TAKE
even if it's long, it keeps the atmosphere there.

campfire was already very screwed
because many people think it was bored.
but congratulations,
those who told us to shut up screwed it even more.

so everyone slept in the MPH/cookhouse
except for 3B who slept in the room with beds,
because they championed the telematch both sides.
-_-"

DAY FOUR: 8TH MARCH 2008

woke up, packed our stuff into our baggages,
assembled outside the MPH with the rest.

and some idiot lost his RED SHIRT
i think that shirt should just be burnt -_-
the guy doesn't even take care of this significant shirt
which bears meaningful meaning.

anyway, 3C were given breakfast last,
because the instructors caught 3C sleeping during campfire.
i mean like duh, lying down on the groundsheets,
you can see that from afar.

and also because three people,
bjorn, jian zhong and Jason (the RED SHIRT)
queued up for breakfast before they were supposed to.
~~PISSY~~.

after breakfast, there was area cleaning.
3C was made to clean the toilets.
yea, u know why -_-"

the best trash we found in the toilets was:
undisposable and disposable underwear
~~some with human waste on it.~~

after that we left for Singapore =D
slept throughout the ride.

as we arrived at Tuas checkpoint,
daniel teo was like jokingly pointing at the sea, saying:
"eh I see Mas Selamat swimming!"
-pause-
"siala, he's drowning!"

joke sia.

while it was driving to VS from Tuas,
i was constantly thinking
"am i really back in Singapore?"

after we reached VS,
using my $2.50 worth of coins,
i bought Pocky chocolate sticks and Aloe Vera drink.
it was like haven >_>
then i was left with $0.20.
and went to Parkway KFC with 3D for lunch.
yes, with $0.20.

i had 23 ringgit but i didn't dare to exchange for SGD.
i scared i exchange, then i kena scam -_-"
so wisnuh and hafidzhin loaned me $2 each,
and fawwaz loned me $1.
woot! i documented it here so i won't forgot, yay =D

after finishing my lunch at KFC,
i went over to Fish and Co to slack around,
while Yun Han, Wei Jian, Yun Sol, Wei Loong, Ernest and Yu Fan
were having lunch.
and it was Wei Loong's birthday!
no, actually, it was one day after Wei Loong's birthday.
but since we were in camp on the 7th,
we celebrated it on the 8th!
Danial bought a Bengawan Solo chocolate cake
and we said and sang the birthday song to Wei Loong. xD
and we were smashing bits and pieces of cakes at each other's faces.
HAHA. so fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WEI LOONG.

then after that, ernest, yunhan, weijian and me cabbed back to hougang.

-end-

if you think of it positively,
the camp was enriching and fun,
although you feel damn shitty when u are going through it.

pitching ur tents in the heavy rain
tests a bit on resiliency.

going through nature walk,
makes you feel closer to nature
and also know more about nature
and also get affected by nature (LEECHES!)

trekking gunung lambak,
gaining confidence in attempting challenges =)

raft-building:
team-work and planning,
bringing out the discussed raft-design to reality,
and see whether it is successful.
success? you see the fruit of ur labour.
fail? splash into the muddy water together and have fun =)

night nature walk:
get in closer with nature as you use ur sight, hearing and touch.
hear the forest in the night (cries of cicadas)
see the forest in the night (seriously beautiful stars)
feel the forest in the night (MUDDY ROAD)

water obstacles:
gain confidence ("omg, i won't fall, i won't fall")
team bonding ("am i dry?" -falls into water")
GET WET WITH EVERYONE =)

bamboo rafting:
personal experience!!
you've always seen people rafting on rivers on TV.
now it's time to try it for urself, with your friends.

telematch:
team spirit. (WIN TOGETHER, LOSE TOGETHER)

campfire:
team bonding/spirit (SHOW THEM WHAT WE ARE)
school spirit (anthem, cheers)

other things i've learnt in camp:

[x] 3C is so scattered. we couldn't function as one.
i look at other classes. they are so undivided.
it is no wonder that they can have so much fun in camp.
[x] looking at mirza and ernest,
i give up hope on becoming monitor.
they can do a way better job than me =)
[x] i regret taking double humans -.-"
[x] i can never be anything good. i can only be common.
so give up to be anything good.

about today?

2008-03-03T16:36:00.006+08:00

o_o"

today we received our e.maths and a.maths progress report results.
96 for a.maths and 92 for e.maths =DD
i think...

that's like my first 9x result in sec sch o_o"

anyway. today supposed to have dreamweaver training for sec 1s.
but nicholas wong salated and _____ing ______ed the whole thing.
nothing wrong with salating >_> but he ______ed the whole thing.

-_- i don't even treat him as a senior luh.
i mean like, he's given CCA points,
when he didn't even achieve 75% attendance.
i think his attendance is like lower than 10%?
i only remember seeing him at most five times last year.

that aside, this wednesday we're going SEC THREE CAMP.
we're going to Kahang Organic Rice Eco Farm Campsite in Johor.
the instructors showed us photos today -_-
and the toilets are like.... omg >_>
G_G

haha, i'm going to look forward to the fun things of camp
and also looking forward to SLC =D

BUH BYE.

Have You Seen Him?

Mas Selamat Kastari

He is said to walk with a limp on his left leg
Leader of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiyah network, a terrorist organisation

VICTORIAN'S DAY

2008-03-02T12:08:00.002+08:00

was supposed to blog yesterday, but.... i fell asleep after clicking "Create New Post"

Saturday 1 March 2008

Like wtf, I got the wrong location for Victorians' Day
I thought it was at VS T_T
So I reached VS at around 7.30am,
Waited for Gordon...
Then he SMSed me at 8+ saying he overslept,
but still coming...
Then I waited...

And I waited...

And I waited...

Then Danial with his SLC OC was in the canteen having a dry run.
And he saw me so lonely waiting for Gordon,
and asked me to join in -_-
And I felt so salate luh D:
WAS COMPLETELY SALATING THE OC'S DRY-RUN -_-"

Then at around 1.30pm Gordon came to VS ._.
AND HE WAS WEARING VICTORIANS' DAY SHIRT T_T

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I missed Victorians' Day T_T
Rawrrr, no shirt D:

Okay, then about 4+, 5+, I left school, and sat at the bus-stop.
I saw two of bus 55 together but didn't board them,
just didn't feel like it.
And then Weng Keong came o_o

Weng Keong: "Hey, what bus do you take?"
Me: "55."
Weng Keong: (stuns) "But it just went!"
Me: "Yea, I saw double. But just didn't feel like taking it xD"
Weng Keong: (-.-) "You're one weird guy o_o"

-some chat-
-one bus comes-
-Weng Keong walks to prepare to board-

Weng Keong: "Anyway, make full use of your weekends."

Haha. Then I just watched Quinn, Fuzhi, Chun Yong, Damien,
Azmi, and some of them play badminton just beside the carpark,
near the canteen.

I was like, looking through the fence separating the carpark and
the bus-stop.

Mwahahaha. Then a double-decker 55 came.
Boarded it.
OVERSLEPT -_-"
Then took 74 to Hougang Interchange.
Camped at Popular for 1.5 hours >_>

Bought some stuff.

Home Sweet Home =)

P.S. I STILL WANT THAT SHIRT T_T nvm, next year =x

Sunday

Today I woke up early in the morning. -_-"

I went to play badminton with my mother, cousin and uncle,
at Qiaonan Primary.

At Saturday night...
Me: "Uhh...tomorrow I go play badminton"
Mother: "HUH!? How come suddenly you want to go?"
Me: "Uhhh. don't know. Just go for fun. Anyhow la >_>"
Mother: "Haha ok."

RANDOM LUH xD

Not bad =x Had fun? Yea, had fun =D

At 10a.m. we left, and I saw the Head Prefects tablet in the hall.

A familiar name struck my mind o_o"

"HEAD PREFECTS"
-name-
-name-
-name-
...
...
"HUNG JING XIANG -- 2007"

clar's ex-classmate, now in VS -_-

LOL!

Okay. Signing off =x

3-1

2008-02-29T22:56:00.003+08:00

today we had the 'b' div badminton finals.

we faced strong opponents from Greenview Sec,
and our victorians were under immense pressure.

anglican high badminton came for prize presentation,
and also supported Greenview Sec.
dunman high supported us after they finished their game with PLMGS.

woah, we lost the first two, then we won the third,
and it seemed like we were winning the fourth,
but towards the end of the forth,
zheyuan and desmond (who were playing doubles)
were under a lot of pressure and started to be out of form.
victorians cheered hard to keep all our spirits high.

we were so close to 2-2, yet so far,
Greenview won us and the final score was 3-1.
victorians did VS Unite and we dismissed.
thanks to all supporters who came down,
and thanks to all those who helped waving flags.

let's strive to work hard and win that championship next time,
let's continue to keep the victorian flag unfurled.

P.S. TOMORROW'S VICTORIAN DAY, LIKE OMG, IMMA GOING

oh wait =x

yea, today received two more CA papers.

Pure Geog: 14.5/25
Chemistry: 23/30 (wow o_o Jason and me were highest in class for Chem paper)

two words

2008-02-28T22:36:00.000+08:00

Two words:

I suck.

funfair -.-

2008-02-28T18:45:00.002+08:00

zzz these few days got back a few papers.
here are the papers i received so far:

English Compre: 14/25
English Compo: 21/30
Chinese CA Paper: 36.5/80
Physics: 22/35
History: 16/25

hopefully my e.maths and a.maths can get A1,
then my L1R5 won't be that high.
rawr. tmr getting chem and geog.

6.6 billion pounds of funfair! >_>
"moscow circus o_O" ernest says.
aiyo. after sch we had games day and played floorball.
funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnfair sia!

then went to gallery and supported 'c' div badminton victorians.
was a fierce and tough match.
the victor could not be deduced at the beginning,
as the players were somehow evenly matched.
so it was down to 2-2.
one set left, the deciding set.

and this was the set that victorian cheered very hard.
there was intense pressure on both sides.
there was once when one AHS guy,
who threw his plastic bottle into the VS side of the court.
and everyone was like "WEI!!!"

aiyo, no sportsmanship sia this AHS guy.
this set was so exciting, that everyone stood up to watch.
and clement kua initiated most of the cheers, i think.
and there were times, immediately after AHS cheered,
we cheered.

was fun cheering.
and near the end of the set, the score was so close.
each side was spamming cheers.

at the end of the match, we won them by about 2 points.
CLOSE SHAVE.
and then all supporters at the gallery rushed down to the hall,
as in, SERIOUSLY RUSH LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW,
and then we sang VS anthem.

"Victoria in Singapore"...............

then VS Spelling Cheer, as always,
and as always after Spelling Cheer, VS Unite.
then we did "WHY ARE WE SO PRO" as we left the hall.

but............. (ok news reporter Ernest Chin reports...):
ERNEST:
"But the AHS guy who lost damn emo/poor thing.Crying sia. T.T"

ok back to me =x
tomorrow 'B' div badminton victorians will be tmr,
against greenview sec.
let's wish them all the best!

VS Boleh =)

then went back to club room, then emo for a while, then broke down ._.

motivation

2008-02-27T22:56:00.002+08:00

i just read azmi's and hafidzhin's blog.
they were feeling really down
because they didn't do so well for their CA.

so i replied in their tagboards to motivate them.
then it really made me reflect
and in turn, i myself was somehow somewhere motivated.

i told the both of them more or less the same thing:

just relax, take some time out to chill.
don't put too much stress on yourselves by setting expectations too high.
don't compare their results with others.
everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses,
and are unique in their own way.
just because others did better, doesn't mean you can't do so,
you probably just need more time.
you can definitely do it, and you will definitely do it.
at the end of the day, whatever the result you get, you know you've done your best.
don't be daunted by ur past mistakes, keep on moving forward.

the moment i thought of the last sentence, it made me think.
i am daunted by my mistake of missing out Veloci-T.
but now, i can do nothing, but to move forward. life goes on.
and im going to learn and be guided on the path to leadership.
hopefully dzafir and ernest, these two red shirts can guide me as well

self-improvement, for the win.

Resiliency Course

2008-02-26T20:58:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, we had 5 continuous periods of PE
5 x 35minutes.
SkilleDDDDD sia!

First 3 periods we had the Personal Protection part of the Resiliency Course.
We did some warming up,
and then we were told to take off our shirts,
because a few Victorians did not bring their PE attire
so... "ONE FOR ALL, AND ALL FOR ONE"

Yea, then we had PT,
9 sets of 10 push-ups, sit-ups, squatting.
"If you see your team-mate unable to continue, go and support him,
One for All and All for One"

And after that we were taught a few things about self-defence.
It was only the introductory session, thought.
We learnt things like:
- Critical 4 (Breathing, Balance, Mind and Vision)
- Defensive stance (OMG SWORD AND SHIELD)
- "I don't want to fight!!!!"
- Front/Right/Left Shields on your head.
- Forward strike without telegraphing to your attacker.

Self-defence:
when the situation is at your disposal,
do not attack your attacker,
otherwise you become the attacker.
just defend, and run.

Yea, learnt quite a few things during Resiliency Course.

today woke up and my body ached all over, 'cos of the PT.
but was fun la :D out of the 9 sets i could only do 2 sets proper.
never mind, let's train and push our limits!

then today, went to watch soccer match.
VS versus Telok Kurau.
VS won, 4-1!
congrats to VS soccer team =)

and regarding competitions, woah,
a series of competitions are coming up in march and april,
busy busy busy!!!

reminiscing...

2008-02-24T20:28:00.002+08:00

Sometimes, when you think about life,
Whether you're on the bus,
bathroom,
on the road,
getting knocked down by car,
etc, etc, etc,
LIFE SUCKS.

But, what to do?
It's a privilege that we live,
It's a privilege that we are what we are today.

So, what to do?
FACE LIFE.

My biggest regret in my Upper Secondary life,
is that I missed out Veloci-T.
And it all blames on me not bothering to find out.

"It's over, so what?"

I don't feel it's over. And of course, don't dream it's over.
It will be a deep scar in my life.
Red shirts like Yong Kang and Bernard Loh,
now look down on a commoner like me.

Sec 3 will be a very important year,
Way more important than Sec 4.
I have challenged myself to explore into leadership,
And exercise that leadership.
All, in one year.

This is difficult to achieve,
since I have studies, competitions, NEWDC/NEVC,
and ViSIT to take care of.
And also the welfare of my juniors.

And sometimes when you want to de-stress by playing games,
It adds more stress, but when you stop,
you can't find anything de-stressing to do.

LIFE SUCKS. FACE IT.

As Victorian Leaders,

We hereby pledge to serve the school and our community in all that we do.

We will give the best of ourselves, in each and every moment of our lives.

We live neither in the past nor in the future but in the moment.

And our moment is Now.

Victoria, we are something more.

Victoria, thy sons are we.

2008-02-23T20:20:00.002+08:00

just read mr siow's blog post on SLI 21st feb '08.

The true test of leadership doesn't lie in the claims
that you make or the visions you state that you will
achieve but in you willingness to do what is right.

That is the challenge we face each and every day of
our lives- to do the right things and to do them right.

so true.

anyway, on friday after school,
3c and 3i had to go to attend a science forum on climate change.
it was held at the science centre,
and there were a few other schools attending as well,
we were SUPPOSED to depart at 2pm,
but somehow our science teachers arrived at 2.45pm.
and then reached the auditorium over at the science centre late,
at 3.20pm.

they were playing 'The Inconvenient Truth' by Al Gore,
one of my fav documentaries (OF COURSE =D)
and many of other victorians were making so much noise ._.
ason was talking kind of loudly >_>

then two scientists from A*STAR gave us a talk,
about climate change.
everything was -quite- okay,
until one of the two said:
"many recycling publicity events turn out to produce
more wastage instead of reducing the wastage,
like the Green Earth last year."

i think he didn't even bother,
to find out what Live Earth did to make it as green as possible,
considering that he didn't even know the correct name o_o

at least Live Earth made an effort to make it as green as possible,
offset all the emissions it, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera >_>
rawr, then i was like Anti the two scientists ._.

anyway, jon was like multi-tasking,
playing his PSP and listening to the scientists o_o"
lol.

then when the science forum ended,
we headed back to school, two classes squeezed onto one bus,
and then i was sleeping throughout the journey.

finally we reached school at around 5.15pm,
and mr munir encouraged us to support our soccer team,
playing against Tanjong Katong (i think) on the field.

i went to watch the match, and it turned out to be 0-0 draw.
but it was still in group stage, so ya, it was based on points.
VS for the win =)

then sidney, endy, ernest, wei loong, jon and me went to KFC,
where we had dinner!
and sidney showed us some tricks on cards.

yea, then in one of the tricks,
he said: i shuffle until u say 'stop'
immediately after he start shuffling, jon said "stop".
but sidney was like, "not so fast la"
and jon keep spamming "stop" and said, "eh, i said stop!!! >_<"

then endy, ernest, wei loong joined in the "stop" spam.
then some of the NPCC boys came to KFC for dinner as well.
then sidney wanted to show bingyu some tricks.
then when bingyu was walking away from us,
some of them was like "STOP!"

and ernest made a joke,
"like wow, the only word we're thinking of right now is STOP".

lol.

bought a 2x2 pocket cube after KFC-ing,
then i learnt how to solve it on the way home =D
but halfway thru i fell asleep.
then i overslept on 55 -_-
rawr.

oh well, that's all.

SLI has been a great and wonderful event.
post-SLI has been a fun and enjoyable time.
next week, we're gonna have sec 3 camp.
i'm so excited, yet so scared about it xD
the best part is, definitely we're gonna cheer! woot!

3rd student leaders' investiture

2008-02-21T23:34:00.002+08:00

today VS had its 3rd annual:

STUDENT LEADERS' INVESTITURE

it was a good show put up by Prefectorial Board,
and a few other student organizations and individuals.

ernest and ziyad were emcees! wah, their english so good!
the GOH was an old Victorian and shared with us a few things,
regarding servant leadership.
he also related his past experiences about servant leadership.

and what he said agreed to whatever i was taught and told about it.
yea, most of these knowledge was imparted to me through BBG.
it was a prime period where i explored into leadership.
and, servant leadership was the key thing that Grace was teaching.
i can still roughly remember the words she spreaded among some of us:
(the following is paraphrased xD)

A leader is one who is willing to serve,
willing to fulfill his/her responsibilties whole-heartedly.
A leader is not one who is just of a higher rank,
or one that has more outstanding technical skills.
Leaders are not masters, but they are better servants.

yea that was inspiring at that point in time,
and is still is inspiring.
it has probably make me REALLY want to become a teacher,
since my lower sec life.

i had this ambition of becoming a teacher in pri sch,
because it was thought to be slack.
but after all the leadership talks and courses and all,
becoming a teacher, is not slack and is very hectic.

teachers have to impart knowledge to their students,
not just knowledge from the textbook,
but essential life skills such as leadership,
and the best medium for learning is probably thru experience.
seriously, experience is the best teacher you can have.

and also, being a teacher,
u watch your students grow,
under your care and guidance,
it is really touching and motivating.

i don't know,
but i feel that being a teacher,
is going to tired, busy, but at the same time,
it's rewarding as you see your fruits of labour,
so it's fun and worth the effort.

yea, so anyway, at the end of SLI,
we sang the VS anthem in the hall,
did VS Spelling Cheer,
the alumni did VS Spelling Cheer,
proceeded on to VS Unite.

and when we were dismissed,
at the canteen, some red-shirts brought
3 flags down,
we sang the VS anthem,
did VS Spelling Cheer,
did VS Unite,
did 1 2 3 4,
did VS Boleh,
did VS Spirit.

IT WAS DAMN FUN,
and of course lost my voice,
then it gradually recovered,
but im predicting tomorrow morning it's gonna be baaaddd.

yea, then some of us sec 3s stayed back,
have some mini-celebration,
like play "CATCH AZMI AND TAUFIK",
which involved around 10 persons catching two people,
and dunking them into the pond -.-

yea, we dunked azmi, then taufik,
and when taufik came up, he dunked azmi into the pond.
lol, then everyone started to chase daniel,
so he was dunked, and then we dunked endy.

dzafir changed into his extra clothes and came out of PB room,
shouting "CHASE ME",
then a few people went to chase him. lol xD

dam fun.

then some of them went to ziyad's house to stay overnight.
ernest and me couldn't stay overnight T_T
and had to come home.
yea, so daniel, endy, ernest and me went to starbucks.

i went there, for the first time of my life
ordered Caramel Frappucino TALL, $5.50.
felt viscous. lol.

then chatted here and there.

then we went home.

then i'm here blogging xD

haha, lol, ok. that's all for today :x

BYE.

and i slept for 3 minutes during the test,
because of my running nose,
and sleepiness caused by this running nose,
and the long passages that i have to read >_>

rawr, i hate language =x
but it seems ironic that i like to write stories xD
but i'm lazy to describe them =x
'cos i rush to write the plot out,
didn't want to think of vocab and whatsover to depict the scene.

so after school, was dam hungry,
brought my bag down to canteen,
and ate lunch.

but the illness caused me to be lazy to go to clubroom,
so i mugged chapter 7 on co-ordinate geometry in the canteen =x
and then went home >_>

kayfong went to roxy square joemil salon for haircut xD

2008-02-18T22:24:00.005+08:00

had history and chem test today.

super gg >_>

i shall quote from hafidzhin's blog once again

hey guys.
im actually not in the mood to blog,
cos today was such a freaking pissing day.

history:
1(a) Why was the League of Nations set up?
1(b) "The Treaty of Versailles was a fair treaty".
How far do you agree with this statement?
Explain your answer.

wah. wrote only one page question >_
i scared too short,
and also scared out of point.

and after school was also freaking pissy >_>
in fact the whole day was freaking pissy -.-"
what a good start of the week.
what a monday ~~mourning~~ morning

bleah, pissy day,
during p.e. i conclude that:

Sarcasm is insult

anyway, because it was
a very pissy day,
that's why after school i was
going crazy to de-stress
then when doing nothing,
felt dam stress -_-"

anyway. i think i'm going to be
firm about leaving newdc/nevc exco.
yea. the exco for newdc/nevc.
thought long and thought long enough.

Happy Valentine's

2008-02-14T21:22:00.002+08:00

OMG. HAPPY VALENTINE'S TO ALL. Wish you all couples out there good luck and a happy valentine's o_o"

Here I dedicate a song from Crowded House to all couples:

English Trees
by Crowded House

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grow

They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the falling snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though its springtime and colour is new
In Regents Park I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
Cos my hearts been broken down

It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time

You won't forget me
You won't forget me

Like English trees in my garden
Summers missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
All your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow

You won't forget me
You won't forget me

And England cries
There's English trees in my garden

tennis

2008-02-05T23:20:00.000+08:00

today VS emerged victorious in another tennis match against catholic high.

many victorians witnessed the match at the VS tennis court and cheered for our tennis players. red shirts were among the supporters to initiate VS cheers. five games against catholic high, we lost two at the start. and it was up to the remaining three games if we were to win our opponent. that was some pressure~

the following two games were won. so the score was 2:2 a draw. and there was one game left.

and it was up to ryan phua's singles game to determine who wins or who loses.

the game was long and definitely pressurizing for ryan himself. but all victorians cheered for him continuously. his coach, his fellow tennis players, his teachers, Mr Low and all his supporters were cheering for him.

in the end our hero ryan won the game, 8:5. and VS beat catholic high, 3:2

everyone did 3 cheers for catholic high and 3 cheers for all supports and also VS Unite to celebrate the tennis's achievement thus far.

haha. nil sine labore =)

then 55-ed home with yunhan, weijian, yongjie and teh bing yu. on the way home i bought rubik's cube 3 x 3. haha. and played with it. watched videos on youtube. so far only managed to solve up to 2nd layer.

eh not bad! two layers in 2.5 hours! gonna bring to school tomorrow and fiddle with it. lol.

haha. such creativity by nick seymour.

anyway, bought it on friday.

friday's happenings:

had a lonnngg day. we had 4 periods of chemistry instead of the supposed 3, that's because we had to stay back for 35 more minutes to finish up our chem experiments. felt very sian after doing 3 to 4 test experiments. some of the rest i just copy -.-"

whenever i pass the gas to another solution i a lot of the time the thing sub-back (or is it sucked back? i dunno what's the term =x)

AND MANGANESE (IV) OXIDE got stucked in my fingernails >_> it's pretty a good reason why u should trim ur fingernail regularly. rawr. im so lazy -.-

speaking of MnO, nathaniel long's test-tube overflowed when he added too much of something to MnO. and the thing reacted, bubbled, and overflowed on the table. lol. mine almost overflowed. i was like adding the thing to the test-tube of MnO. then someone called me. i looked away. and turned back. OMG BUBBLING ALMOST-OVERFLOWING REACTION.

moral: concentrate while in the middle of an experiment -_-

then went for games day with the juniors. wah. had so much fun playing floorball at the parade square but IT HAD TO RAIN T_T then sec 2s gathered the sec 1s back to base. and some conflict happened among the organizers (sec 2s) but soon they made a decision and continued with the games day. it was good to see that they could make a decision on the spot and didn't messed it up like the previous games day.

berwin and shira were the i/c of the day. and the sec 2s actually worked together well with berwin. it was good to see it, although there were a few conflicts here and there.

in the end, they brought them down to the gym. while they were down in the gym, i joined kayfong and safi in the music room playing DRUMS. WOOT.

IT WAS SO FUN AND ENJOYABLE. and kayfong was imba. safi was good. i was sucky -.-"

nevertheless i was the first time i ever stood so close to a drumset, and touched a drumset and PLAYED a drumset.

gotta work on air-drumming and train that co-ordination for right-hand hi-hat, right foot bass, left hand snare.

then around 4.30 i realized that the sec 2s brought the sec 1s back to the parade square for floorball after lightning and thunder halted. yea it was still raining.

PLAYING UNDER THE RAIN IS DAMN FUN DAMN SHIOK =D

unfortunately soon i joined they had to return the equipment =.=

ahmad led a TCS with the juniors after games day. after a while sec 1s were dismissed and the seniors including myself talked to the sec 2s for a while.

at 7.40pm or so, we left school and went for dinner at BANQUET. 7 people all in all: kayfong, dzafir, ernest, shira, berwin, ian, me. ordered fishball meepok with some fried dumplings =3 and for dessert, LONGAN WITH GRASS JELLY ^_^

and then as we went down we saw mrs melissa lim of home econ dept. she said some teachers were here for some stuff. so we probably would see some VS teachers downstairs. i headed for the sembawang store and found CROWDED HOUSE - TIME ON EARTH: $19.90. lol. kayfong even took a photo of it with me. mwahahaha.

then we all left parkway parade. we saw mr wong liang seng and we all waved and called for him. he looked at us and dzafir was like "lol, he must think we're weird"

boarded 15 and on the way, we saw mr wong liang seng again at a bus-stop, with mr khor! mr khor was like swinging his plastic bag around.

mr khor: -sees me in VS uniform, calls mr wong who was next to him, points towards me-
me: -looked and smiled at the dzafir, kayfong, ernest, ian-
dzafir: -smile-
me: -turned and look at mr khor and mr wong-
mr khor and mr wong: -looked at something else-

kayfong, ernest and me alighted at eunos and we boarded 854 to hougang. on the way i was opening the new album i bought. WAH. my first album that i bought sia! then opened up the lyrics book and stunned. so artistic and creative. kayfong saw me and gave a "har, i don't really like the design" kind of look.

rawr. lol. CROWDED HOUSE ~

Four Seasons in One Day

2008-01-26T18:46:00.000+08:00

Four Seasons in One Day
Artist: Crowded House

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day

Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again

You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
All the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

It doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

WOOT~

thanks to the class of 2007, the school celebrated with two-third day off! so we're released at 9am today. only attended the first two periods of the day, mother tongue.

before lesson started, mr wong wai lit told our class, "erm, stay back today after school at 9.10 for two periods of chem lab. or you have to stay back next tuesday. everyone must be there."

and one big group went to him and say "no sir! we want tuesday! today cannot!"

mr wong: but today can la, so free. or u have to stay back AFTER school next week, u know.
herman: no sir, today we got plans already.
mr wong: but how do u know we end school today at 9am? mr low only announced it today.
herman: oh no sir, it was a surprise~
mr wong: -smiled- hmm okay la, but next week everyone must stay back, everyone must come. not a single one must be absent. unless have MC.

and mr thiru offered me to replace eugene lam as monitor -_-" i was like, omgwtfbbq.

"i give u some time to think over la. i also dun wan to force you."

wah, then i was thinking: wah, gd thing dunnid immediate reply. pressure!!

lol. higher chinese mdm ding ni was going through the format of letter-writing and i got back my essay that was submitted last week. 37/70. and her comments were "needs more elaboration."

o_o not elaborated enough? rawr. must mug essays.

during the last 35 minutes i started to look at clock in the classroom, back and forth. -.-"

come on, im going to spend the next 12 hours after 9am in school!

then yunhan and weijian came to my class to look for honghui. i saw them, then i extra, went out of the class with honghui. then tell them about the offer -.- then asked them whether should take. "aiya. YES! TAKE IT"

lol. then school ended. ran to clubroom. asked kayfong about the same thing. "no, dun take it."

reason? obviously because i need to be there at CCA. that's what holding me back in taking the monitor position. lol. that's why, in sec 4, i'll probably want to try take up monitor's position.

ok so we started to play icebreaking games with the sec 1s since it was the first meeting =)

and we played games like, "pass the ball around and do what did to the ball to the guy next to you", "chop chilli chop chop" (sp?), "1st, 2nd, 3rd object", "what time is it?" two versions of "around the world in 80 days", "black magic" and sorts.

retarded games, but fun =)

then we went for games day~~ and then there was a messed up part, where it was so unexpected that almost every cca came down for training and took up all the venues where we could play soccer. lol. so we wasted 1 hour in sorting out that.

after lunch, the tennis court was free, so we played soccer again. i didn't play soccer, didn't have the mood to kick. i can't kick for nuts -_-" at least i can bounce better than kick. that's why i like basketball more than soccer. but i still suck in basketball. lol.

at around 4pm-5pm, the sec 1s were dismissed. sec 2s and 3s stayed back for another motivational talk by safi, ryan and kayfong, and probably to some extent, gordon and jj. gordon and jj went into the clubroom to mug after a while o_o

yea. so they talked to us on why today's games day is dis-organized. it was useful la, if u question why, the sec 2s will probably be motivated to make the next games day better.

as for sec 3s, we were guided on the running of the club. ^_^

like to thank our speakers, safi, ryan and kayfong.

jiayous =x

and then came meet-the-parents session. was surprised mirza didn't come o_o

so i solo-ed work for 3C attendance booth. didn't know need to bring tie so i borrowed one from mr thiru.

about 17-20 parents came for 3C.

about 7.20, we were free from attendance duty but had to stay until usher duty. and weijian was eating his chicken rice that his parents brought him. whoa. that everyone of us were like, AWMAGAWD FOOD. while weijian wasn't looking i took one small scoop of rice. LOL =x

the rice so nice :x then when he look back i ask him, "eh. the rice look so nice lor."

wah then he gimme another scoop of rice. pwnt.

then ryan came down with one slice of pizza. o_o

he said it was shi wei that bought the pizza. lol. then i realized, all the 6 pointers had to treat meal. lol.

ryan gave it to endy and me since we hadn't had our dinner. >_< lol endy only ate 2 bites and didn't want it anymore =x and the rest of the monitors were like, AWMAGAWD PIZZA, ONE PINEAPPLE PIECE PLEASE. yea. i dun eat pineapple anyway. so they plucked all the pineapple pieces there xD then ate it up. lol.

and during that free time, some of the monitors were teaching varun chinese. erm, improperly -_-" yea, they tricked him. so it turned out to be vulgars =x

varun: how do u say hi in chinese
some monitor: knnccb
varun: i see. how do u say u are stupid
some monitor: limpei

then one vs guy came, and happened to be one of their friends. so.

the monitor: say hi to him, varun.
varun walks up the vs guy.
varun: knnccb
monitors burst out laughing, including me the attendance guy xDD
vs guy: [lol, rolls eyes]

after ushering duty, mr thiru asked me again whether i want to be monitor >_> so yea, i rejected it xD

came down to go home with kayfong, gordon and JJ. then there was still one slice of pizza left for me o_o

whoa, yea, so we went home. and the bus came while i was halfway eating the pizza. AWMAGAWD. i stuffed the pizza into my mouth. and about half/one-third of the slice of pizza was left. so sad it was thrown T_T

bleah, so end of eventful day? =x

P.S. IM ONE STEP CLOSER INTO BUYING 'TIME ON EARTH' ALBUM.

something so strong

2008-01-24T22:51:00.000+08:00

today's the day of 'o' level results release!

after about 30minutes of talk by mr minjoot and mdm ow regarding JAE, mr low announced the overall results of VS's 'o' level results.

58% distinction for English, 70% for combined humans, and 7x.xx% for all three sciences, and a very good percentage for higher tamil, tamil, higher malay, malay and chinese languages. mr low didn't mention higher chinese, and the hall was shouting "HIGHER CHINESE~" but yea, you get the point, it means we didn't do so well for higher chinese. oh well, let's do better next year.

then the release of 'o' level results.

the first guy of some class. was his name Adip? no idea how to spell/pronounce. he saw his results when he approached the table and he SCREAMED AND JUMPED AROUND. then he took this results slip and ran to the back of the hall, in front of the teachers and out of the hall. then ran one round, and back into the hall.

then the whole hall of people was stunned. hyper sia~ and one guy almost got taupoked -.-"

then i went down from the gallery to the hall. you can see people cry and cheer. some cry for sadness, and some cry for joy.

it was so thrilling to see our senior victorians did their best during the 'o' levels and achieve great results. it may not be the result u wanted, but u definitely did great.

remember that mr low said that the 'o' levels is just a stepping stone, not judgement day, so if you think you could have done better, then start doing better now.

and i totally disagreed with jon saying that the 'o' level results release was boring. it was motivational to see how our victorians have done. truly nil sine labore =)

and after school, ryan, safi, ian and me went to the 7th floor. and bing yu was patrolling around 7th floor under orders of Mr Chan in case people commit suicide. LOL. and he asked me to jump, as a joke. lol. and safi jokingly replied too, "wah. prefect supposed to stop people from jumping, not ask them to jump."

lol. then we went back clubroom, to find the sec 2s playing a fool in the clubroom :\

then mr quek came. winston, him and me were discussing about the how our exco should be set-up. and the rest of the sec3s were talking about vp positions for the new sec3 arrivals. then i felt so emo looking down at the fish pond downstairs from 4th floor. shed a tear and went down to the canteen for snacks. rawr.

after that i went back clubroom, hanging around, and over time, unknowingly i was the only sec 3 left around -_- and ian being the only sec 2 around. woot.

6pm, locked up the clubroom and we were on our way to where we were going to eat. yea, were deciding on the way. at the ground floor.

jj was telling the people in PSB through the windows, since we were on the way, "Study hard for 'O' levels and don't get retained in JC".

then mr low happened to pass by and heard jj. lol. stunned.

then jj's fren came. and jj told him to spread the mj school spirit: (the study hard thing)

and his fren was like "SPREAD THE LOVE" and chased jj all the way from the foyer to the bus-stop near the side-gate of VS. pro-ed.

then we took 36 to parkway. alighted at parkway, while walking i saw weijian and yunhan in redshirt. and ernest too. i stared at weijian and yunhan's red shirt. huh. is there an official event tonight?

then yunhan asked me "eh yiqi, u going for the talk?"

THEN IT STRUCK ME. the personal protection thingy talk. no wonder. student leaders were required to go and non-student leaders could attend if they wanted to.

but nah, i didn't. then we roamed inside parkway to look for a place to eat and we had three criterias:
1) MUST BE HALAL
2) MUST BE VEGETERIAN
3) MUST BE INEXPENSIVE

so we ended up in Macs.

lol. 4-5 of us ordered the Prosperity Meal. HUAT ARH.

then after that, camped there, chit-chat and played games that they learnt from their VJ orientation. so far, i only figured ONE game out. Travel Around the Way in 80 Days -.-

Ian got a few of them. Bleah, im so blur, the next CHENG. CHENG v2! and at the end of it all, i realized we could play them for meet-the-sec1 session!

and then about 8.30-9.00pm we left macs and went to parkway parade, look here look there. i saw SEMBAWANG in parkway! omg. im gonna look for Time on Earth album next time.

then they visited some Mac shop. and there was once huge monitor (i think bigger than 20-inch)

wah. pro-ed.

then we hang around again and left parkway and headed for home. winston, gordon and jj were talking abt their jc life. and i was listening, asking questions. haha.

for the past two years i didn't get to see the release of 'o' level results.

sec 1, i wasn't aware of such stuff. sec 2, i got pulled away by kayfong for newdc/nevc briefing day BRIEFING ._.

now, finally, sec 3, i get to see it, get motivated. and come sec 4 i must definitely see the class of 2008 receive their results.

this year, VS's average L1R5 is 10.4, i think, best 'o' level results so far in the past X years. last year was about 11.x if im not wrong.

that's all im gonna write. signing off ~

this is yiqi signing in,

yea, im sleeping in front of the comp.

rawr. ok. signing out =)

life today, can or cannot?

2008-01-22T21:35:00.000+08:00

bleh. today jon told me that tomorrow after school we'll go over to suntec to settle logistics stuff.

i told him i may have to finish the nevc website, because the deadline i set for myself was actually end of sunday. but problems cropped out while designing and i need more time.

i wonder if im suited to even be in newdvc committee. i hate to stay out in commercial areas for long. im not a good communicator. and im not a good person to play programmes.

hence, i don't fit into Logistics, PR or Operations departments. so what can i do other than computer stuff and typing?

that aside, we haven't decide the things as a committee. seriously, we need one newdvc exco meeting this week. not next week, the week after, but this week. either tomorrow, or thursday. friday we're cropped up with meet-the-sec-1s session and also games day hosted by sec 2s. floorball most likely =)

next, i've been thinking about club mgt the past few years and i had so many limitations on how we should run the club. i never talked to members one-on-one regarding personal character, like leadership and sorts. i just feel that, intruding into other's space isn't right. who are we to criticize about them? are we better than them?

my mindset was like that.

but then sec 3 came. newdvc, i can't drive them to do work. am i doing a lot of work? even if i am, so what? does that mean i have the authority to call them to do work? yes, i should, but, it sounds offending.

and the last thing i want to do is make someone feel offended unless really necessary. example, thenaesh. after guidance session last wednesday, i felt it was really necessary to slap someone, not literally.

and i blew up today. i was opening the clubroom door and ahmad, trying to fool around, snatched the key from me when i was about to turn the key. and i shouted at him, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO.

so his excuse was "u inserted the wrong key la."

so? wrong key, does that mean u have to snatch it from me? can't you tell me nicely? wrong key, at the most i insert the next key.

and jon, after telling him that i MAY have to finish nevc website tomorrow, he says "aiya can la your website, it's done."

and i replied, "no it's not done! i have to change the design."

and in my mind i was thinking, "don't just stop at 'can'. improve it."

badminton, floorball and other sports ccas, their skills can what, why train harder?

those are some food for thought for some of the other sec 3s.

and also, jon, you're being too audible. and too all people who are very english or very american, please be reminded that Singapore is not America. we don't have that much freedom of speech. if you hate maths, you don't have to say it in front of the teacher. it's like saying "jon ur art sucks, quit art."

if u hate something or someone and you're not working with him, you don't have to give comments. just give comments to yourself. if you're working with someone, and you don't like something about him? then, talk to him.

as for another issue, we'll sort it out next time.

third issue, dzafir being the tentative president for now. majority of us voted dzafir as president, tentatively. the confirmed voting will be held later.

i am supportive of dzafir becoming president. he's good, he's got a leader in him, and definitely his leadership is enriched by CIC-LTC combined (Veloci-T). but one thing he has failed so far is to prioritise. being the president-to-be, he joined floorball, even before quitting Prefectorial Board. even if you are going floorball as a 2nd cca, you'll be having floorball in mind. that's some tension as well.

remember, dzafir, you're the president-to-be, kayfong, endy, me and others are supporting you. show to your supporters and all those who don't believe in you that you can be the president of itclub. you may not be the best president of it club, but you may be the best president that you can be. believe in it, strive to be the best that you can be, and you'll end up impressing all of us.

on the other hand, if you can't, don't let us those who are supporting you down. remember what JJ said during last wednesday's guidance session. "if you are not capable of being the nevc chairman, you should, from today onwards, try to be capable of being the chairman."

remember that whatever scolding your seniors give you, take it as guidance, and not your seniors venting anger on you. whenever you cry, cry because u regret what you have done, and not cry because you're being scolded.

nil sine labore

P.S. that's a whole load of text! i'm just typing out whatever i'm thinking. if you are who i am talking, no offence is meant but this is the message im sending you.

12 hours of work

2008-01-20T02:48:00.000+08:00
