type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sighs. i guess i'm at my low point for this year. no more optimism and smiles for a while now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways, i heard the secret is out on vcds. so grab your copy now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;why gabby why?!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;tear gas clears nose block.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i'm getting good at pingpong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i need a new set of ear phones. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;recommend me some good books to pass time in camp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;alrights. perhaps maybe i should explore more in depth into what's bothering me lately. they say money is the root of all evil. yeah perhaps. to a certain extent. i guess the greed to amass money sometimes overpowers. sighs. and here i have stuck with the problem that few of my friends seem so money driven they forgo their morals and friends. not that i can do much to help them. i tried in one case. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;shant say too much. just that i guess its kinda sad. perhaps they are too immature and young to handle enormous sums of money. money that goes into the thousands. the tens of thousand. and likely, hundreds of thousands. i'm not saying that i'm mature enough to handle that. just that maybe my morality will keep me in check. but i might slip. so if ever the case i get too swayed away by money, please, as my friends, tell me. but for now, i'm earning enough to give myself a good life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;you never came.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;all rights. i've been guilty of the crime i always pin on others. not updating their blogs. haha not that i think there's many people left reading my blog. but considering i go out almost every weekend, theres little time to blog! haha okie excuses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways. some recap on everything in the past 6 weeks. the secret! its nice. i wanna buy the vcd. yeah i know the newspapers said its jay trying to promote himself. but i actually thought the show was better than his initial d. at least there were more words coming out of his mouth this time. watched bourne too. but didn't really understand and fit in the pieces. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh the most exciting update. high school musical 2! wahaha. okie i managed to catch 95% of it. considering i have to pia my way back to camp and miss the remaining 5%. shucks. why must my camp be all the way in khatib. growls. stagmont is definately better. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hmm recently everyone like pia-ing their driving. and i haven even start on basic theory! okie maybe i'm deceiving myself by telling myself that i'll have little problems with my driving skills. but shucks, what my friends tell me what you have to do with your car on the slope seems to say otherwise. i thought just slam brake can le. haha. maybe i've played too much GTA. imaging drifting on the PIE haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;uni life seems fun. but shucks i still have about 17 months left to go. but they say wad engineering all nerds or prc de leh. i dun wannna go in and kena nerdify. sian. but i think i almost thought of what i'm gonna be in the future. provided i pass the test. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;all rights i shall continue to efficiently utilize my bookout time.

/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;watching tons of movies the past few weeks. alone was pretty scary, actually more of gruesome. with hy screaming beside me, you can kinda guess. jx was more or less hurling vulgurites every 5 mins. but its kinda chilling to imagine if that kinda thing would happen to you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways i caught harry potter after alone for the second time. this time watching with s14 ppl. i think it needs more action. haha more wand whipping and spell casting. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the simpsons is simply hilarious. haha i was laughing all the way for the time the movie started to when it ended. serious. its really stupidly funny. just gotta watch it to laugh. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;its gonnna be my last week before i pass out of my course. hopefully i dun go to anywhere like guards or lancer. well i heard ppl for lancer had been chosen so i'm less worried. lets hope i get posted to an 8 to 5 job. which i bet if i do, jx willl be cursing me for life. 6 weeks. bye bye stagmont.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways heads still

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;hey ho! just bought the soundtracks for the phantom of the opera and high school musical the concert. oh gosh why cant high school musical come to singapore!!! the stage effects are very nice, but i felt the song had less expression and impact than those recorded in the movie. but anyways, troy was away filming for another movie, so another guy who voiceover-ed some parts of troy's part took his place. but some of the chemistry was lost. but gabriella is still my idol! sharpay looked more attractive though, cos she looks less bitchy than in the movie. haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;listening to the phantom of the opera soundtrack now. should have watched it when i had the chance to. now i truly regretted it. but i think i liked the voice of christine in the movie better. anyways, i didn't know the soundtrack cos $32 la.. zz i just grabbed it off the shelf and found out my bill on cds at the cashier. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;transformers is way COOL man. its a must watch for action movie lovers. i just realised that i have the toy of starscream (the F16 jet) last time la. haha no wonder i found it so familiar cos i used to always play with that when i was small. childhood memories. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;went to minds cafe not too long ago too. hahaha there's this game called who's the boss that you have to negotiate and work with other players de. play with hanyang and justin very fun. as quoted "the point of the game is not to let justin win" hahahaha its a game which involves a lot of talking. like biz negotiation like that. citedals even better. hanyang is just so suay to be killed 5 turns in a row. hahaha cos he noob. i guess minds cafe is just a healthier version of lan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;high school musical 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div

camp near me, and my unit seems pretty slack. so i heard. anyways i do have the idea of down-pes-ing, haha so as to become even more slack in ns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;alrighty. last week's schedule has been a heavy mixture of work and late-night-coming-home. been playing a lot of lan at paradiz, and going home via junxiong's car. well not his actually, his dad. haha and a lot of amazing race in that car since junxiong cant remember roads very well. work's getting more and more fun, with more and more botak heads joining us. haha but a bit sian to look into the meeting room and see one room of botak heads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways coming right back to sianness, thinking that tomorrow have to book in le!! and not to mention i haven packed my stuff, nor even removed them from my bag during passing out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;its kinda outdated but yups, POP lo! not that i'm very much happy or very much sad though. sad to leave my section. we're the liveliest and enthusiastic bunch in our platoon. everytime i book in, i feel real down. and sometimes i dun have the mood to talk to people. but listening to them talk and their funny antics sure will make me laugh one. gonna miss them man. anyways i hope they post me somewhere slack. i'm still firm on my stand that army makes you dumb. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways went back for PA camp immediately after POP on wed, brought some nice strawberry cakes that cost me a bunch and shihui was complaining that i bought them cheese cake when it was cream or custard. haha but anyways i ate like one crabstick, 2 marshmellows for the bbq? haha and once again we decided to show our courage by mahjonging in the extended canteens. talk about security cams looking at us play. but our dear friend elton has convinced us that the cams are more for decorative purposes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;they had discussion for handover in lt5, which dragged very long. which was way longer than wad us last year. ended up playing kh's psp and yay i finally know how to play virtual tennis haha! anyways we play till morn and we jx drove us all the way to tiong bahru. the thing is he missed a turn at the major road, which caused us to circle around orchard road before reaching his house. somehow we were wondering if it was faster if we took the bus. ate ya kun there. oh mans the feeling of having a good breakfast at ya kun compared to at tekong is shiok man. kaya toast and milk tea with eggs. woots!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;okies. fast track all the way to last saturaday, which we had a pa bbq. to be more accurate it was STJ, and the senior junior ratio was amazing, which means us seniors have to pay way more. but after that we decided to play pool and remarkably my pool skills have improved, along with hanyangs tyco-ness skill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;somehow for this block leave i wanna do so many things, but i just feel like lazing around at home. i still wanna ice skate! and my phantom of the opera at esplanade disappeared. grrr.... nvm i shall wait for it to come back. and i still have one overdue 2000 piece puzzle. wow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;so much for

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;been a very very long time. since now's the long weekend break i shall finally decide to blog something. but i cant blog about anything about the army apparently its confidential. but life's been pretty managable. just that you'll kinda miss civilian life every now and then. the things you could have been doing instead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;caught pirates of the carribean recently. wasn't exactly very well done in my point of view. could have been much better. yups. but still, as a fond fan of pirates of the carribean, it was still one of my favourite movies. haha. transformers and fantastic 4 seems pretty exciting. saw the trailers in the cinema, super cool. anyways. haha i think my IQ just deterioated greatly. as they say, being in the army makes you dumb. you dun get time to even think. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i suddenly have a craving to roller blade or ice skate. i dunno why too, but yea its that kind of urge that pops up once in a while and fades away after some time. so haha anyone willing to go ice skating with me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;shucks. i wonder if phantom of the opera is still on at the esplanade. i seriously wanna go watch it, especially for the songs. for once i shall decide to post one of my favourite song from phantom of the opera. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;think of me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Remember me once in a while - please promise me you'll try. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;but if you can still remember, stop and think of me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Think of all the things we've shared and seen - don't think about the things which might have been.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Recall those days, look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do there will never be a day, when I won't think of you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;super nice song i must say. haha someone please tell me the phatom of the opera at the esplanade is not over yet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;alrights. i think i shall go sleep le. shall update

must thank her for helping me to repair my blog. i'm a html idiot yes i admit that. its not my forte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways, i'm gonna get stoned for this, but i'm starting to miss the A'lvl mugging days. maybe its cause i just watch high school musical last night for the gazillionth time, and it sorta reminds me abt the mugging i've done for A'lvl. and once again i yearn for the chance to perform some of the songs in it. though the last attempt to put up a performance was met with little enthusiasm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;decided to stop work soon and rest before ns. shall set myself a good goal to achieve. despite constantly reminding myself to exercise, i have yet to do so. so if anyone of you read of a ns recruit dying of exhaustion, its probably me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i'm still sitting on the fence on whether to aim to be an officer or to slack throughout. though i doubt i can go for OCS, the main argument is whether i should pia for ns or not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br

Kiyosaki. he just became my next idol after gabriella. the book was inspirational and movitational, not to mention offer a different outlook to most things. how normal people work for money while rich people make money work for them. i highly recommend it to all (no i'm not receiving commission on advertisment by him) it kinda makes me motivated to learn as much as i can from this job i'm doing now. financial intelligence; as how he puts it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. time is 154am, but i'm not a bit sleepy after napping for 5 hours this afternoon. listening to the songs from music and lyrics. go and watch! the songs are brillient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;i rather be broke than poor.

haha but thanks for the nice present which was made for all the previous radinmas instructors! too bad i was the only instructor there that did the p6 camp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;wells, theres a big contrast between radinmas p4 and p6. one thing's for sure, p4 are way rowdier and noisier. lets just say the camp didn't go as well as all of us hoped for. looks like there can be a lot of improvement in all the instructors, including me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;went home to rest before heading out for another camp for de la salle school at sentosa. this time was p3. now, i'm quite sick of primary school kids. their energy level is astronomical. and not to mention that i'm very very sunburnt now. and i lost my voice. my voice is uber sexy now. and i can go off pitch every now and then when talking normally. lets just say i didn't quite enjoy these 2 camps as much as i did at bowen sec. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i'm too tired to recap what happened anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;and oh oh oh i saw a radinmas p4 camper from my mirror group that looked a lot a lot like gabriella from high school musical. and she has a personality that reminds me of gab too! she looks sooooo cute! haha she's the first camper i think looks cute and has a cute personality. wahahaha if she was older i would have asked for her handphone number! LOL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;okie back to feeling tired.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;sighs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-7233154520225448787?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/7233154520225448787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=7233154520225448787' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/7233154520225448787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/7233154520225448787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-survived-week-im-totally-tired-out.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-1624713201059944269</id><published>2007-03-06T01:19:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-06T01:28:32.061+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;results were out last friday. hopes everyone was happy with theirs. to summarise, we stoned for a couple of hours in the hall (what we do best) before we decided to go catch a movie at plaza sing. pursuit of happyness. kinda nice thougha bit draggy. so it gets quite boring at times. anyway the remaining guys decided to go acidbar to chill off a little. totally snoozed there thanks to lack of sleep for the past few days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;did anyone go to the chan bro travel fair on sunday? haha did anyone see me? you cant recognize me though cos i'm the mascot!! haha bouncing kangaroo! and the costume was also the hottest one of all. not to mention i cant see anything with that kangaroo head on. haven transferred the pics over yet, but they're cool!its one of the few jobs where you can sleep, eat and rest whenever you want and still get paid for it. oh wells, just dun overdo it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;though i have a habit of not replying tags unless necessary, i feel obliged to say hi to my fellow campers from bowen, radinmas etc out there tagging. haha especially radin mas kids, cos i'm going back there on wednesday again. i hope i can still remember some of them. i have a very rare disease called VSTM (very short term memory) anyways..

/&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;bowen leadership camp. i nv expected to be back at st john's island for the second time. had to endure another 3 days of no-toilet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;this bunch of people is really a group that is very sporting. i loved the part where they did island wide challenge, where all the guys take turns carrying that heavy dustbin filled with water while the girls all cheered and picked firewood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i was a bit stressed during the campfire for mainly 2 reasons. my major was directly in front of all the teachers and principal. and to add to that, i'm directly in front of the principal. its like performing to them with an expection to meet up with. second thing was that i no longer had people like azri, ck, willie or melvin to think up of dance steps to fill in all the waiting time. it just happens that our major have little people who can impromtu-ly think up of dance steps. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i screwed up so many times this camp. i dunno why too. its just that i seem like a victim of circumstances. especially during amusing race. i still feel very bad for being responsible for making my group be the last group. zx's group also made the same mistake as me. its just that nobody told us we had to report to veron our score once we came back. my instructions were just if it rains heavily, bring them all to hut 15. so we were actually 25mins early for the game but i brought them to the hut to do camp fire preparation without reporting. i feel so bad for being the one responsible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i had many doubts of whether i could handle this camp. its just that bowen had had camps with campHA since sec1, and for the sec 2 camp it was awesome thanks to people such as willie, melvin, jeremy and tim. i was scared i couldn't perfom as well as them. and there are quite a number of people from my group that used to be from willie's and jeremy's group. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i realised i fell sick during the last day. i think its all because of that curry chicken noodles i ate in the middle of the night. i felt so terrible for the whole of this morning. lucky it was the last day le. just woke up. i feel like i'm on life support.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

have 1D of activities. hence, schedule so super tight and activities were squeezed. but anyways my group was a lovely bunch. haha at least i don't have super problematic kids! thats a good thing. but i actually got a sore throat not from cheering, but from trying to answer all of their questions. their teacher must have done very well from teaching them to ask more questions..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;same usual activites, abseiling and ropes. no kayaking though. haha i feel like kayaking. campfire wasn't the best i've been to, but i guess instructors tried their best in trying to make it as successful as it can be. anyways its the first time i saw a mac delivery that cost $130++ so much food till the person has to hail a cab to carry all the food over to JBAC. haha but by the time the food comes the fries all cold and nua nua le. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;went to suntec after the camp with the instructors to eat after that. on our way to camp briefing, willie and melvin we're attempting super funny things along the way in city link. haha its was super funny. jas recorded it, but all you can hear is basically her laughing. maybe will be uploaded to youtube. haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;played mahjong overnight at weijin's place, then went to play a soccer match at bukit batok field. wah i'm really gonna die when i go to ns. haha my stamina now is close to 0. anyways we won. but i contributed quite little hahaha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;pa reunion! haha though i was late, but we went yuki yaki to eat. ice cream making was the best part la. i just love to make ice cream there. and that stupid choon heng was saying that i failed my ice cream making. haha i very pro one lor =) it's been such a long time since we met and talked! and those in army almost finishing bmt le. haha good lucks man. when i go in everyone bettter wish me good lucks. i'm gonna need all the luck i can find. went to the arcade later. haha me and kh went round playing gun shooting games. ended up spending quite a lot haha. pool table was a death match between choon heng and hanyang. cos the loser have to pay for the pool. haha then i join hanyang team attempt stunt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;anways. got to go!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;sundial dreams.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;woohoo. wad a fun weekend i had. lets try recalling everything from saturday onwards.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;met with gladys to go buy wayne's birthday present. supposedly there were supposed to be more ppl to come along but everyone seem to have other things on. but anyways, chop chop we settled on a watch and she had the responsiblity of delivering it to pasir ris to wayne.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;met up with s14 people at fish and co to have lunch. talked about mainly army life and catching up with one another. ended up in a lan shop soon to relive those days of dota as one class. haven been playing dota for quite some time ever since i started doing camps. went shopping for clothes after that and slacked at food republic. man the hokkien mee there sucks la. i dunno why everyone always queue so long for it. kinda missed those times our class just slacked together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sunday met up with el people to go play lan again. haha kinda to celebrate alan and benny's book out day! alan's hand full of sand fly bites la. okie i think i better start training myself for army. and to mentally prepare myself. but its like they sleep more during their camps than during my camp la! those little kids super active one. dunno 4am 5am wake up make noise. sleep at 2am wake up at 4am. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;after that went to listen to something like a job talk at raffles there. kinda interesting. haha. had dinner at lau pa sha later. as much as i know lau pa sha is a famous place in singapore, it doesn't seem to be bustling with activity inside as i expected, other than the barrage of satay stalls outside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;TODAY WAS FUN!!! haha we instructors went to pulau ubin. WAHAHA and the funny thing was willie was spreading the word around that you have to bring passport there cos need to check. HAHA and jaslyn believed and helped him sms everyone. i distinctly remembered during my many trips to ubin last time no pass port was needed but i just brought just in case thanks to weijin. then in the end we managed to convince sophia that need passport otherwise cannot go ubin. then she like almost wanted to take cab home to take passport! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways we cycled for quite a long time around ubin, upslope downslope inside jungle and on main road, to beaches and everywhere. quite tiring but fun! then we trekked into the quarry and took pics everywhere haha. i think us instructors are photoholics. go where also must take pics de. but we had injuries and tons of incidents where the bicycle chains come loose. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;instructors took bus ride and train to cine. my gosh. we were cheering all the way there la! okie maybe not me. i could tell there were people of the public getting irritated. we were like shouting in the mrt la. when it was packed with people. wah liews. but nvm watch them also quite entertaining. only the young people found us entertaining. i think the adults a bit irritated. went to play pool after that. was kinda fun instructor outing! although i didn't contribute by cheering in the big public cos i too paiseh to do so. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;mambo mambo jumbo mambo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;valentine's day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-3532345439200927174?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/3532345439200927174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=3532345439200927174' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/3532345439200927174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/3532345439200927174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2007/02/woohoo.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-2499304228307068109</id><published>2007-02-09T10:53:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-05T19:22:23.339+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;alrights. back from crashing a campfire. expected better but i guess the sec school kids are just not as enthu and lively as those primary school kids. but quite fun going crazy with the rest of the instructors. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;house building is fun. but quite tiring and painful. enough said. i got so many houses la. and that house which veron build for me.

Went for another camp again! Wahaha its was very fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First day had to meet up at radin mas primary school and listen to their study skills workshop. First time I see got p6 got camp one lor. So cool. My group was quite guai except for a few which I couldn’t control. Haha and jaslyn is my mirror group instructor. Had the amusing race during the first day and its something like the amazing race around st john island. That island is godlike la. Compared to nj, it makes the slopes and steps at nj look like cute little knolls. Upside down has officially become my trademark dance in the company le. Everytime they cannot come up with performance will use that dance. Haha I hope roman and dismas dun mind. Alvin's and sam's performance was the best out of all I felt. Super cool la!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second day started with the bone-piercing chilling wind attacking me from all sides during my night sentry duty. Last shift ma. Haha that jaslyn keep falling asleep. But nvm I also got wahaha. Her nickname by her group super funny. Anyways, the boys in my group macham nv see sand before one. Breakfast time go beach eat all eat finish zoom to the shorelines catch all sorts of funny insects. Campfire night was the most memorable! I really love the campfire night this time. Compared to the sec 2 kids I had last campfire, those p6 kids are really more enuthu lor. Announce their name only then everyone zoom up le. Really love the campfire night. Quite a lot cried that night also cos next day will part le. then some of them the comments to me make me feel touched lor! Haha but they ask me be more firm with them. And last camp they ask me be less strict -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bathing was an exercise there. We bathed at the cleaner toilets at the beach huts inside the girls toilet. We know no girls will go there one cos the toilets is like Disney a bugs life. All sort of funny funny insects go there find. Then you need to jump to get the water de haha cos the spray is stuck and is pointing up. The other toilets at st john island is like cess pool lor. Wahahah a lot of funny story about the kids shitting everywhere one. Listen to other instructors describe can laugh until peng. Then area clean up Jeremy was like rahrahing the kids to clean the toilet super funny. Wahahaha super comical la!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wahahaha too bad I dun have the photos we took during the camp yet. See le sure will laugh de! Maybe I upload to my friendster soon. And one thing I noticed about all the instructors. We all ambassadors from our own jc.  Haha almost got one instructor from every jc lor! Only dun have hc, rj, ij, mj and pj. So cool. Then we were like sharing everything with each other. Complaining about the coming a level results release. Somehow if all camps were like this I would work for free =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;i wish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;fun fun fun. i'm back! haha just finished a camp with regent secondary school at jalan bahtera after being interviewed to be a camp instructor last tuesday. me and soon hock shared one group and boy is that group difficult to handle. but i enjoyed all the fun times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;relived the sec 3 days again opposite the scout camp, especially the high element courses and kayaking. haha but i did not go into the mud pool. i probably have to buy a wardrobe of cheap clothes to go into the mud pool everytime i go there. belaying was fun too, but i had to belay almost everyone so i ended up having very sore hands. think i liked kayaking the best, although i was quite positive i would capsize when i took the one man kayak cos its been quite a while since i last rowed with one. luckily i didn't capsize! it would have been super malu for the instructor to capsize &gt;.&lt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;super unlucky to rain during campfire night, but this is the first time i ever had an indoor campfire where they lit up a small fire in the hall. since my group was only half a class, we had to join up with my mirror group to perform, which they had no idea and CK (my mirror group instructor and mentor. guess wad, mi lu bing is his ns mate for 2.5 years) wanted me to teach NJ mass dance upside down to them (haha dismas and roman if you're reading this take note! haha copy right issues wahaha) i couldn't remember the whole original dance la! but dunno why when i was teaching that dance to the class, a lot of the instructors see me dance and say you from nj ah? haha they all say they saw the dance on youtube. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;best of the camp was i get to bathe in the staff toilet. and mans is the staff toilet TOTALLY different from the students shower room. hot water and everything. even hot and cold water dispenser inside the toilet for drinking. sounds much better than my home toilet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i think i was real fortunate to be given this first camp with all the other experienced instructors, cos there were a huge proportion of us that were new instructers, but the other half are all very experienced instructors, all of them super enthusiastic and not scared paiseh. haha something like elton, except with better responses from the students =p one of the instructers was actually my rv and nj senior la -.- older than me by one year. but apparently during my 4 years of being in the same school with her, i didn't seem to remember her. neither did she. one of the relief teachers there was also an njpa senior. 2 years older, but i didn't know who la. haha i bet if i go up and tell him i'm his junior he sure shocked. ultimate of small world is that the form teacher of my class i was taking is the mother of one of the house captains in nj now. hahaha. super small world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;alrights. hoping for another camp next week! shall keep you

/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;spent slacking inside the chalet playing bridge and daidee. luckily there was only 1 controller to the ps2. cant imagine the chaos if there were 2. bbq failed as it rained shortly after starting the fire. so ended  up postponing it to the second day. truth or dare the whole night, with some of the dares pretty much.. comical haha and truths rather awkward to say. luckily mine was super easy to answer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;2nd day&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;rented bicycles and rode around pasir ris park thanks to miscommunition. wanted to ride further to tampines but it rained again. but oh wells, we decided to have our bbq at our balcony. food was nice but limited. but we had a smoky living room soon after. went night time cycling to changi village with a 15man strong bicycle chain, which looked kinda impressive. we rode all the way to changi airport and watched planes land and take off. kinda cool cos i've never been there before haha. the symbol for korea airlines look like pepsi airlines la! butt, leg and palm ache from all the cycling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3rd day&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;class went to watch blood diamond after checking out. the show was great and meaningful, kinda touching at some parts too. but if the guy made the speech at the end, i think it would be even more impactful. met up at weelocks place to have sakae sushi for lunch. mans service and food at suki sushi is very much better. the chowamushi takes uber long to be served, though its much better than in suki. but they changed the way of ordering in the table computers, such that it prevents accidental additional clicking, which i sure boss have a very good experience about =p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;adult fare! wah i'm gonna faint soon. $1.85 to get to pasir ris from bukit batok. wah i can take 3 rides of student fare bus rides. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;crazy but i believe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;i just have a sudden urge to blog, which happens so rarely. must have raked up quite a bit to blog about in my bath just now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;all blacks outing today! though not all came, it was quite enjoyable just getting together talking about stuff and reliving the YLTC group spirit we had, together with our trainer wayne. wayne suggested going pariss to eat, but heard it was super expensive, ended up in suki sushi having buffet. they must be amazed that i have a big appetite given my small size. plus wayne's jaw dropped when i said i was only half full when everyone was full. dillion seems to be getting $18 worth of drinks only. but oh wells, the point is to get together and chat!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;amazingly, i've been asked the same question countless times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyone: are you working now? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;me: no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyone: rich kid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;since when did not finding work translate to being a rich kid?!? argument is heavily flawed and hastily generalized. if i ever were to bring up such concepts to nair she'll hang me on the spot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;maybe its just that i have different perspectives to life as others have, with the exception of zen, who seem to agree with me to a large extent. to treasure the time now and enjoy or catch up on your hobbies before life decided to smack dung on you. i still stand strong on my stand that most people who chiong to work just for money now will regret it 5 years down the road. &lt;strong&gt;MOST. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;working for enjoyment or a good cause(CIP?) to me seems like a valid excuse. wayne suggested to me to be a camp trainer and i think its a brilliant idea! he said no entry requirements, just been sporting and enthusiastic will do. though the pay is low and hours long plus feeding mosquitos in the bunk, i think its fun to run around singapore playing treasure hunt with campers; like the amazing race! but there would come a point in time where i may have to demonstrate abseilling to them, which i shall remind you that i'm fearfully afraid of heights. might consider signing up with INOTREK haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;so i'm currently enjoying my life, living it to the fullest! but referred to as "slacking" by many people.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;anyways, i just received provisional approval from moe to be a relief teacher together with zen so i'm just waiting for schools to call me after i apply to them. but i heard that now schools mostly need humans teachers, which bothers me because i placed all sciences and maths as my preferred subjects. wells, i could teach them geog! haha bring them out on field trips =) wells its learning beyond the classroom! oh i could teach history and bring them to singapore history museum and give them a guided tour! haha i wonder if i'm still in the main com O.o oh i can rattle on about history of medival europe like the crusades! haha been my interest to read up about these stuff since secondary school. too bad they didn't teach medival history though, only modern history. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i have this sudden urge to muG! hahaha to read up about all my interest topics. i'm gonna get stoned to death by mentioning this but, library anyone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;i wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div

continues. thanks to the rain, i've been sleeping like a pig for my holidays.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;death note 2 was trilling, just that apparently it didn't follow the actual story line. new episodes of the anime isn't out yet, so i guess i have to continue deciphering the chinese comic. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;new year is coming! time to draw up new resolutions, not that i fulfill them anyway. sometimes i think resolutions are a waste of time for me. maybe my resolution can be something like to fulfill all the past year resolutions! something like that might work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;feeling the usual discontent-with-my-life depression again. maybe its cos i haven really accomplished tasks which i initially set out to do. or maybe i'm really just discontent with my life, which results in my endless list of wishes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i wish..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sometimes its makes me wonder if its better being a jack of all trades rather than a master of one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;shucks why am i saying out all these ramblings of mine. oh

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;just gonna be a random entry. bored now at 2.07am in the morning of xmas eve. bet everyone is somewhere dreaming of xmas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;fulfilled my monthly craving KFC at bukit timah plaza. went there to stock up on our xmas goodies. went to beauty world to buy some books. think i'll be the only one feeling this way, but although beauty world has changed a bit, cant help but feel nostalgic. always going there when i was small, to buy toys especially. those were the times when lot 1 and westmall didn't even exist. and bukit timah plaza just a new shopping mall in the neighbourhood (but cant remember which came first) haha but the old toy shop is gone, the shop next to macs inside the building. but in case you all didn't know, a lot of the shops were around since/before i was born. like the stationary shop at the bottom floor (used to buy lotsa stickers from there) and the girls accessories shop near the top floor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;my brother seem to have a strange sense of humour. was browsing through the organic food section at ntuc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;me: organic garbabo peas, organic raw wheat, organic black eyed peas&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;bro somewhere in the background: (singing) where is the loveee&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;dots. but must admit that was a lil' funny with him singing there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. heard from my brother about a news article he read. its about year end bonuses people get when they work. it reportedly burst the wall street records for year end bonuses. the employees in goldman sacs (a bank) get bonuses from US$600k for normal executives to up to US$53million for CEO. another of his attempt to drag me to aim for the financial sector when i grow up. imagine how much food i can devour with 53million dollars..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;ohs! was walking around orchard a few days ago. came across this south american band play yue4 liang4 dai4 biao3 wo3 de3 xin1 with some of their woodwind instrument. must be their traditional instruments. its quite nice actually. and they played a rap-like rendition of the song which is even better! oh mans i just love the sound of woodwind. especially flute. and to think i learnt trumpet instead of flute just because someone told me i'll be better off with trumpet. darns.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;christmas presents are grossly overpriced. overheard a conversation with the shop keeper and its patrons. wrap gift cut queue $3. i was stunned. best to do your xmas shopping one month in advance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;christmas eve! wishing everyone a very merry christmas eve. was listening to mp3 just now, suddenly thought that maybe i should have recorded &lt;em&gt;all i want for christmas is you&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;last christmas &lt;/em&gt;instead. oh wells. maybe next year. i'll record a christmas album. =) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;i won't ask for much this

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;sleepy. tired. exhausted. just came back from pa chalet. wells, as expected the turnout wasn't exactly very good, with many people working and stuff. but that hanyang pangseh me!!! promise to meet me at 145pm then in the end tell me cannot go. as what zen said, if you pangseh guys for something, if better be for a girl or family, if not you're unforgiven. haha. but promises are not supposed to be broken. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways. turned out only me and choon heng met at the mrt. rain was fluctuating but there was thunderstorms around pasir ris. ended up when we checked in, we had to entertain ourselves with 2-man monopoly for 3 hours. haha i pawned him! his I.O.U. was astronomical. and we used 4 dice. haha so its possible to travel the whole board in one turn since you get to throw again with 3 sixs. rule book was basically discarded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;elton came soon after work and we ordered pizza. still dun understand why you cant order KFC AND pizzahut in a single order. 3-man daidee-ed until ivan and mingxuan came, and we decided to demote the monopoly rulebook to NON-EXISTENT. had the concept of &lt;em&gt;laissez faire&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;and hotels popped out of no where. but i won in the end muhahaha =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;it was surprisingly a sunny second day. went to escape to use up some of the free tickets and kill time. wells some of the more prominent rides are either closed or maintainence. heard someone actually died from the roller coast, so maybe they're closing it down for good. but the feeling of freefall seems to appeal to me. and alan looks as if he was recovering from hyperventilation. but i felt escape was a place where u can only got once in a few years. you get sick of the limited rides after a while. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;so sickening. we decided not to bbq and there the sun was smiling down on us mockingly. heard from alan the 2F chalet bbq the day before was supplimented with 4 umbrellas covering the bbq pit. ended up having catered food which was not bad. choonheng kept dragging me back to mahjong and shihui was ruining the entire table's luck with her powerful badluck aura haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;wells, guess not many people turned up, though it was quite fun. first time i went to a chalet without

fireworks being so strong i can feel the vibration on my butt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;had sorta like a christmas dinner yesterday at IMM. well its hard to believe that IMM changed so much so much. well maybe its because i haven been there for quite some time now, but the number of food outlets there is humongous. it seem to have drifted from a merchant's market to a bazaar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyways, went to eat at this long beach restaurant. ordered many many seafood dishes, with some exotic ones. oh and the peking duck is nice. the duck enjoyed the company of many many black pepper crabs in my tummy since everyone was full and there was so many pieces left. so its up to me and my bro to finish the job!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;all rights. hehe maybe i shall correct myself about the previous entry when i said there was no mistakes in the recording. hehe actually i just found out there's 1 mistake. i had a missing sharp and a myseterious flat appearing on one of the chords i played so haha if your music sense is good you'll hear it. i happen to miss that chord out =p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;idiotic! the band competition thingy is in april, so which means theoratically speaking i wun be able to make it unless i video conference from tekong, which is impossible since no image transmitting device should go into an army camp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sians. raining all the time. my house is always running the risk of blackout. which means no computer, no aircon, no ps2, bah no lights even to piece my puzzle unless i carry the emergency lights into my room -.O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. have fun this christmas season!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span

mazlan seems to be buying food for the bbq.. which means money saved! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;been doing literally nothing recently. sleeping and playing ffXII. almost completing le. i think it just became one of my all time favourite ff game throughout the series le. still dunno whats the difficulty with all the levelling up and stuff like that. i seem to be breezing through quite comfortably with my own pace. but the music seems to have deterioated over the series. the music seem to suck now. and to think that i play the games for the music and the story. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;my room is still in a mess. and to think that i haven completed my puzzle yet. this is my longest time taken to piece a puzzle. must be all because of ffXII&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh oh and i discovered something! the band song my teacher wanted us to play is the theme song for another movie with gab! thunderbirds are go! wah i suddenly love the song! though the movie is a remake of the original in 1966 -.- and it looks like some english ultraman show. but the tune is kinda catchy! hope to perform it at the esplanade soon! HAHA not the concert hall.. the library! as what my teacher said theres a performing place there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;finally fulfilled one of my aims this holiday! to record a piece of music! yups yups just for this festive season i recorded one of my electone pieces i just learnt. haha dun think theres any mistake in that recording but it took me 15 recordings before i got that. yups yups go check it out &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/7478037/b7037120/Santa_Claus_is_Coming_to_Town.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;http://www.4shared.com/file/7478037/b7037120/Santa_Claus_is_Coming_to_Town.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;yups you have to wait a while before the d/l button appears in the middle of the screen =) do leave your comments!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;christmas wishes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-116625837778675708?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/116625837778675708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=116625837778675708' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116625837778675708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116625837778675708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/12/yay-pa-chalet-is-coming.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-116576045835375568</id><published>2006-12-10T21:47:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-10T22:20:58.530+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;back again! yawns. dunno why recently i seem to be very lethargic. i just feel like sleeping even though i slept my usual 6h a night. my eyes seem slightly watery too. dunno if theres something in the air or what, but i had the same feeling when we were immersed in haze a few months ago. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;had quite a good lunch today. decided to splurge a little today with my brother and went to the japanese restaurent opposite beauty world to feast. the waiteress seem eager to push us some sashimi, which made us raise some eyebrows on whether it was suppose to expire like tomorrow or today such that she's desperate on selling them now. but oh wells the billed turned out to be $30 each, which was quite reasonable. plus my parents left us some cash to spend when they left for turkey on friday. they better not know how we spend the money though. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;mahjong-ing at weijin's place again for the second day running. apparrently cos he's flying off to thailand tomorrow or what and insists on a last burst of mahjong. well turned out my lunch at the jap restaurant was on them hehe =p but oh wells. you win some you lose some.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;dunno why recently i've been stoning more than usual. was on my bus way home and i go out of my seat and walked to the door to stone. and i FORGOT to press the bell! so i just watched the bus zoom pass my bus-stop before realizing. same thing during mahjong. i actually won the game when weijin threw the card i needed. but i just stoned and didn't got his card. but in the end i still zi4mo1. no diff hehe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the house next to mine seems to have parties all the time. makes me wonder what i'll do if i'm rich. yes the people living beside me are rich. its quite obvious from their cars. and i repeat. CAR&lt;strong&gt;S. &lt;/strong&gt;and to add to that, they obviously have bidded-for car plates. plus, their parties aren't those cheap cheap loud loud parties. its classy parties with wine and stuff without people shouting their heads off. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. benny wants to go out on tues. haha last burst of freedom before he enters ns i guess =p but oh wells haha its better than being stuck at home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;met weeleng at westmall just now too. he was making his way to camp. haha told me a bit about army life. he's in some CBR unit or something like that. some chemical biological response i think. haha but theres still 4 more months to go. so why worry!

or asshole daidee. and elton accused me of bring home the PSone and depriving them of their entertainment. but oh wells, apparently i was dragged to school the same night by kh who claimed that there were many seniors and that they're not going to sleep, but ended up sleeping. for once we actually went down to the gym to ATTEMPT to play badminton at 3am but we couldn't access the equipment in the hall control because of people sleeping everywhere in all directions. ended up playing squash, but wasn't that successful with 2 person playing and the rest dozing off somewhere. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the 3rd day was more exciting, with choonheng back from his s&amp;t chalet. i guess the most memorable part was the farewell video and performance, which shihui has been desperately trying to get me to perform but i didn't. luckily i didn't. thinking back on that idea, i think it would have been a flop if i were to try and attempt to perform that with a suitable group in mind. the video was cool. haha especially the NG ones. junxiong best man, every single illegal stuff we did in hall control was revealled there, to the teachers!! haha lets hope they didn't hear the part about us playing mahjong there hehe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hoping for a good sleep, but after the camp they decided to crash my house to watch happy feet, which unfortunately didn't work cos the dvd kevin bought seem to malfunction in a pretty amusing way. somehow i didn't think the subtitles were for the correct movie. but nevertheless, we just lagged around playing cards or the playstation. my parents came back and brought us goodies, so alan decided to try this friend worms thingy, which he tried to convince us that it tasted like keropok.. yucks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;okie that was quite a plesant surprise for my blog. asked shihui to help me revamp my blog, but didn't expect to see pictures of stitches everywhere -.- haha but nvm its quite nice actually. thanks! oh and the music rocks haha. everyone better not press the STOP button when you come my blog =) hopes high school musical 2 comes out quickkkllllyyyyy!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;i really do&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-116566001557386032?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/116566001557386032/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=116566001557386032' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116566001557386032'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116566001557386032'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/12/okie-so-im-supposedly-to-blog-about-pa.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-116520668026481506</id><published>2006-12-04T12:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-04T12:31:21.000+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;alright haven been updating for the past 1 month but at least i definitely more updated that mr mouse, whose last entry is on singapore's birthday O.o so people out there better start updating your blogs or i have nothing to read. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;although i know this is severely outdated but... A levels are finally over!!! haha i bought a huge puzzle to occupy myself with but i haven finished yet. been putting it on hold for quite some time. wanted to take up driving but i heard its spaceless. oh wells, after army i guess. cant wait to revamp my room too. its a total wreckage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;prom night was kinda great i guess, but i dun really like the food. like my brother said the most expensive things i'll get to eat there is probably fish and prawns. there was a pinch of crab meat in the soup but i think the sheer volume of crab meat i get to eat is not as expensive as the amount of prawns i ate. but oh wells, it wasn't for the food though. took lotsa photos here and there. everyone out there who i took photos with please send them to me k! i dun have a digicam haha. if only i won the first prize instead of choon heng =p then i can immediately put the digicam to good use. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;dunno if i'm imagining things, but hanyang seems to be permaly on stage. for prizes and for games. haha and yonks won 3rd prize! the emcee called for 0 0 0 then we know its one of us le haha cos only our tickets have 3 0's in front. BEAUTY MOISTURISER!! wahahahaha i almost fell down laughing. maybe they should have given out something more unisexual. well but we asked yonks to give to his erhem but he's shy too! but nvm the guys dragged him to take a photo with her. compliments to dianxiang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. the guys went to pub (or club; i still dunno the difference) at chijmes after much waiting for the 12am bell to sound since its jingyi's birthday. well i had my first taste of a cocktail drink and i didn't like it. i nv liked alcohol and the only alcoholic drinks i drink is jolly shandy (wahahaha) and irish cream coupled with lotsa milk. but the waiter there was very friendly and took the menu and explain the drinks to me cos i asked for a drink that is alcoholic, but not too strong, not bitter, slightly sweet. haha i think he find me very noobish but there's always a first time! turned out my drink was much more alcoholic that i thought, so i switched drinks with zen. but after drinking like 5cm of my drink i could feel the alcohol and didn't drink anymore. zen seems like he was on a drinking frenzy. he finished half of mine and pong's and his own drink. i think he was slightly drunk on the cab but i think his alcohol tolerance level quite high. but i asked andy to escort him to his condo anyway. haha kayhow's face eat chili drink alcohol same colour one. all red. i think mine was too. the next time i'm going to a pub i'm going to order lime juice. clever girls. i bet i only drank $4 of my $16 cocktail. oh maybe $6. i think the cherry that comes along with the drink cost $2. its the only part of the cocktail that i liked. oh wells. going for PA camp later. update some other time again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;i really do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-116520668026481506?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/116520668026481506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=116520668026481506' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116520668026481506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116520668026481506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/12/alright-haven-been-updating-for-past-1.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-116196674132498063</id><published>2006-10-28T00:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-28T00:32:21.436+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;shall not rant about mugging now. think everyone has enough of it themselves these few days. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;watched deathnote on monday with the guys. its quite a nice show though it could have been better if someone told me it was a trilogy before the show ended. it made me feel so cheated during the ending. but oh its just so fun to have a notebook like that hehe. makes you wonder whose name you'll write in it first. i have one name in mind =) i bet those who know we well will know whose name it is. but the detective reasoning in the show is a bit.. not logical. but oh wells, its just a show. i mean it is a comic. maybe shall go and read it after a levels&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;finally got my enlistment letter! not that i'm very excited about it though, but theres still some time left after a levels to enjoy myself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh oh and high school musical is simply the new love of my life now. i actually found a movie i like MORE MORE MORE than lilo and stitch and spirit: stallion of the cimarron. oh mans i actually went to buy the vcd so that i can put it into my mp3 player even though i borrowed the dvd from jestyn. it simply rocks la! my gosh and i just watched it twice in 12 hours yesterday. almost made it thrice in 24 hours if i haven dragged myself to do maths. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i guess the reason why i like it so much is that it actually made me think a lot of college life. and of course the nice music. the music is so so so so nice =) especialy one song which i particularly like though its sad cos i found the lyrics something i can relate too. maybe its cos the whole show is about something around our age, something which may be happening to all of us now. oh and gabriella simply has a die-for voice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i guess a point about the show is about stereotyping. its about what others feel you can or cannot do. though its quite fortunate that its not that obvious here. haha but i believe that it still exists. bet some of you didn't know i like to sing and dance. and a fewer lot know that i like to play the piano more than the organ. and i bet none of you all know that i actually enjoy cross stitching lol (NO I DUN DO THAT ALL THE TIME) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. another time then!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;cause now i have to..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-116196674132498063?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/116196674132498063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=116196674132498063' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116196674132498063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/116196674132498063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/10/shall-not-rant-about-mugging-now.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-116067290826458583</id><published>2006-10-13T00:55:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-13T01:08:28.310+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3 more weeks. that alls that's left till the start. guess time is slowly running out. feeling scared? yes. its almost the same feeling as o levels. though u have read through the notes again and again, you are still afraid of some unexpected circumstances that may shake your confidence. all thats left to do is to hope for the best. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;not exactly in a mood to write a jovial entry, feeling sleepy and scared. been mugging and mugging non stop. i wish it would all just end. yawns.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;yesterday was the last schooling day of school, other than the graduation day on monday. emotions were high, but i bet they'll be higher on monday. feeling emotional? yes cos i just watched the cd meisi gave out. guess it just felt like i just entered nj yesterday, all the fun times we had as one class, all the class chalets we have during almost every single holiday in nj that spans more than 1 week. all the stoning, espeically at the old stone table which is now occupied by the I&amp;E hub. the first time we sat as one class at the old stone table with our ogls and exploring our orientation plastic bags and getting to know each other. i can almost still remember who sat where and who's beside who. our first dance night.

so is the friend wanton. hehe mayyyyyyybe i might let some vegetables into my life. we lagged there since the drinks was free flow and mr freak was complaining that the coffee was bland and decided to fix that with more packets of sugar. mans i hate going home in the middle of the night. theres always not enough buses to go about. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;went to mr freak's house today with mr mouse. had the entire house to ourselves and boy it was so neat and modern. haha as compared to my house le. INTENDED to mug, but mr freak and mr mouse decided to amuse themselves with some computer game which is like street fighter but when you take damage gems will drop from you and those characters have very cute ways of fighting, like using signboards to hit the opponents. after that mr freaks thrashed me in magic, but understanderable cos it was my FIRST time playing magic. argued that because his deck was considerably stronger than mine, so we switched deck. i still lost nonetheless. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;was kinda late for the marche outing because mr freak decided to mug instead of changing his pants. same applies to mr mouse. haha i was busy trying out mr freaks gels, wax, radicals, mud, clay, spray, cement blah blah blah. he looks like he opens a hair styling shop. and MR FREAK, your mud which you happily spread all over my hair, it too me 6 full presses of pantene shampoo to wash off. and i still think theres like 25% of the mud left of my hair. can you believe it, i'm wearing a spiked hairsyle to sleep! okie back to marche. PA outing! we had a $150 discount for marche compliments from my too! decided to fulfill my longlost dream of trying out that marche live oysters. so fresh i could taste seawater in it. hoping for pearls, but alas, none was to be found. ended up eating like half of all the food in marche. well, if someone had told me that each person only got $7.50 discount, i would have practised a little self restraint. unfortunately so, i decided to spam orders and ordered everything i found nice. i think i won the highest receipt award. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;trekked and not to mention SQUEEZE around the esplande there to watch fireworks. fireworks today was better than yesterday, maybe cos i got a good spot today. the last part where they decided to spam the same fireworks into the sky, turning it from black to gold was fabulous. and of course, singaporeans decided to show their ugly face of kiasu-ness and inconsiderate behaviour everywhere by taking up such a big space by planting they picnic spot in the middle of nowhere, causing jam. i wish i was stronger and more muscular so i can just go forward and OOPS and step on their finger or kick their food away. and not to mention them leaving unfinished food all over the place after the fireworks are over. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;fun fun day! but i should feel guilty that i didn't mug today. but oh wells. theres always tomorrow =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;i wish for a shooting star so i can make a wish. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-115540333140809382?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/115540333140809382/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=115540333140809382' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115540333140809382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115540333140809382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/08/okie-im-finally-back-to-update-my-blog.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-115434436358755039</id><published>2006-07-31T18:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-31T19:12:43.600+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;past week was quite fun. finally collected my razor mouse on wednesday and sold it off immediately to zhongxian. that money was initially meant to buy me a mp3 player, but it seems like i dun feel like buying it le after saving up like 70% of the cost. haha what a good way to convince yourself to save up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;thursday was meant to be a mugging day, cos we knew it was half day before hand and i planned to mug after school. but oh wells, due to unforseen circumstances, and andy saying he wants to eat sakae sushi during chem lecture, we had a class outing to sakae sushi. so much for mugging. but oh wells, went with andy and kendrick to zen's house for a swim. so cooling especially since the sun was hot enough to actually disintegrate someone. i discovered something cool. the hair wax i'm using it quite soft compared to others, but after swimming for about an hour and immersing my head in water most of the time, my wax still remained! haha all i had to do is just to restyle! lol never knew the real strength of it. sakae sushi was fun cos we decided to have a mini competion between the guys table to see whos the final survivor left eating. my table was obessed with salmon and i emptied the conveyor belt of all salmon sushi. scandal started out with zen and HAHA someone. he was calling home and the person he was speaking to happened to have the same name is someone in our class. NO wonder the person wasn't in sakae sushi with us. hahaha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;friday's double gp was fun for once, maybe its cause i had caffeine from my migraine pills. presented some essay questions again and i confidently demonstrated my ease of talking crap. we should tape all the times dismas presents. dismas was saying something about city life brings you know the 's' word and everyone was going oooooo until he said 'stress'. HAHA. some people are just born entertainers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sunday went out with pa again to buy jestyn's present. haha i dunno what got into me, but i walked from far east to plaza sing, then realising the meeting point was at somerset -.- haha i dunno what got into me but i think it was the food i was eating along the way. i realise i spend a lot of money on food. i seem to patronize every single food stall along the way from far east to plaza sing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;pe today was fun. sham decided to play soccer with us. he split the class into groups of 2 (1girl 1boy) and play 2v2 soccer in the tennis court. i went with the remainder since my class guys seem super good at asking girls to pair up with them. so i played 3v3 soccer instead. haha, nothing much. sham decided to chip and ball and accidentally mis-cued and flew into my face. haha andy was busy smearing his dirty hand prints over people he tackled. hahaha zen was complaining that his lactic acid was building up just 5mins into the game. meisi was trying to dodge the high balls which andy dangerously tried to play. yonks was trying to ole me. haha nuanting was screaming at least 70% of the pe lesson cos she was the goalkeeper. i was trying not to get hit by a ball, not in my face of course. ankle a little twisted after today. haha pe with the class always very entertaining, especially the freesbie match we had last week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh well. today's jestyn's birthday.

especially to people with musical interest. the game is like what you see in the arcarde with many buttons and a scratch disc and you have to press the corresponding button when the key reaches you. and we were happily rotating positions to o2jam the whole night away. at least the hype of the music keeps everyone awake! wanted to play badminton in the gym early in the morning at 4am again. once again, boss didn't want any unexpected encounters with the third kind again, but there was the soccer people inside the gym along with tammy ho. it wouldn't be very fun if we were spotted though. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;sunday was spent slacking away though, and i initially wanted to mug. but oh wells, temptation had the better of me. there's so many nice song on o2jam la. oh man i just dun get sick of listening to them over and over again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;pe today was soccer once again. but after pe kendrick decided to run off with jestyn's shirt and pants thinking it was his. haha but unfortunately his had his handphone inside. i was thinking of letting kendrick go and wear jestyn's shirt and pants while we go for chem. hahaha i think it will look extremely small on him. haha cannot imagine. but jestyn was more concerned about kendrick really wearing his pants and shirt and spoiling them rather than returning him his clothes haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;we decided to amuse ourselves in the last 10mins of the chem lecture today, playing battleships with some notepad which was given to us and conveniently had girds. stupid jestyn decided to play some idiotic strategy but linking his ships together. then when i sunk one i decided to blast somewhere and ended up i lost cos i blasted everywhere else other than that place. grrr nvm i shall win the next time we get bored. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;sigh. migraine coming back again. its becoming more of irritating rather than pain. and looks like i need to stock up on the medicine again. recently cant get a good night's sleep. dunno why i just cant sleep and its not because my head is hurting or anything. its just i cant sleep. maybe its this thats triggering my migraine again. i hope it is. i have this feeling that it may be something worst and i should go for some kinda checkup. sigh. oh wells. update some other time again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;what would you do if i had 1 day left to live. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-115374679025270261?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/115374679025270261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=115374679025270261' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115374679025270261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115374679025270261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/07/new-week-once-again.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-115340811180700694</id><published>2006-07-20T22:33:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-20T23:13:08.110+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;back to update about the past week! cant wait for maths and chem to finish teaching so that i can really concentrate on mugging. its just so confusing and time draining to mug and then do tutorials and finding out later that you have forgotten what you have mugged. but oh wells, that doesn't mean i started yet (: all words no action yet. but soon. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;monday's pe was soccer again, but this time it was on the field. and its super slippery to play there. slipped once and nearly slipped gazillion times. but hehe quite fun anyways. civics was school-widely dedicated to class bonding session, and our class decided to watch pirates of the carribean 2. unfortunately, i had music lesson and if i postponed any more my teacher is gonna kill me. ended up my teacher was late la.. maybe if i took a taxi immediately after the movie i may get there just in time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;wednesday was com-service day. and my day was spent hugging little cuties all over school. i think the school quite stupid lor, ask them to learn a song such as di tanjong katong, when they already have trouble trying to string 2 words together. so ended up we had little kids screaming into the mic with clear amusement scribbled all over their face. but oh wells, i had fun playing with this little kid called hao lin. apparently the teacher told me he had violent tendancies, but he seems to demure and unresponsive. but nevermind at least he got react to me haha. and i taught him how to hold the fork properly and eat all by himself! hehe i feel so proud of myself (:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;finally caught pirates of the carribean today. think the movie was not bad, except that the movie was clearly trying to tell everyone that there is going to be a pirates 3. but someone some parts i still dun get it. maybe they will explain it in the next movie. but there are so many twists lor. captain jack sparrow was so cool. haha so is davy jones. his beard is quite.. erm. useful haha. but the show was quite funny. haha especially captain jack sparrow. kraken is cool haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. tired now. shall go sudoku again then go sleep hehe. update some other time again!

gosh. but its all over le. oh wells back to mugging since theres no other excuse not too. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;3 more days to pirates of the carribean and i cant wait to watch the movie. curse of the black pearl was on tv yesterday. jack sparrow is so cool. okie its captain jack sparrow. haha shucks but finding time to watch it is also quite difficult. heard theres going to be a pirates of the carribean 3 but the title isn't out yet. hehe i hope they make it into a neat series like harry potter, except this time we dun know what to expect because there's no book about it to read beforehand. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hehe i conveniently skipped morning assembly today but i wasn't all that late for school anyway. monday's pe lesson with sham is always quite interesting, and because it was raining quite heavily then, sham decided to give us a free period. but nevertheless, soccer maniacs in our class decided to bold the rain and give the ball a kick. many kicks i suppose. turned out to be a mini match against s15. as usual, kendrick decided to go on a berserk mode, and his method of playing soccer seem to threaten the opponent's lives, and on some occasion, our lives. getting hit by the ball from him is like getting hit by a cannon ball, and on some instances, granted a free trip to the hospital (refer to physics common test 2 aftermath) it was like playing soccer in the bathroom and we were drenched. but oh wells, hey it gave my hair a whole new look! haha it looks like a rambutan with the hairs rebonded and spiked. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;yawns, going to set off for my music lesson le. haha okie since i promised someone yesterday that i will blog about all the times when i had to keep that person entertained, i shall keep to my word and this is it. so the person shall be honoured to be mentioned in my blog =) haha but i'm running out of ideas! nevertheless i think i should be able to think out of something else given my unusual talent in looking for useless things to do. but its killing two birds with one stone anyway. i'm bored myself most of the time. hmm what else is there to blog about. oh its time for my music lesson. update some other time again!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;i wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-115251566207442988?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/115251566207442988/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=115251566207442988' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115251566207442988'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115251566207442988'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/07/monday.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-115233829398101646</id><published>2006-07-08T13:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-08T13:58:14.003+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;back again! shall update a little now before physically and mentally preparing myself for tomorrow morning's match. sleeping i mean. had this NS medical checkup thing yesterday, which was rather tedious than scary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;our appointment was at 9, but apparently we can come in at 8. but oh wells, who's complaining? first up was blood and urine test. they super efficient. the medical officer say take one bottle and stick, instructions are in the toilet. blood test was less painful than hospital ones, cos i realise at the hospital they stick like half the needle into your arm but there for me they only stick like 1cm into it. hanyang looks like he's gonna faint any moment even before his turn came. now i know they had a very good reason why the urine test should come before the blood test, at least they dun have problems with people peeing in their pants during the blood test. haha and hanyang went to say the medical officer dunno how to draw blood (cos got one person very fat then he keep complaining cannot get the blood) then the MO go say he moron jokingly la. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;next was dental. mine was super fast, 1min see my teeth can le. i think junxiong must be never brush his teeth, then he open his mouth the doctor as him sit outside let the smell dissipate haha. i went x-ray, nothing much though but need to stand at a certain posture one. hehe i was wondering if they will come after me if i did a superman posture. sounds fun. but ahem, its a army facility so i rather not do that. eye test was okie. no problem with eyes. haha it is today that i found out that kayhow is a little colourblind. maybe he go check up that day then suddenly got colourblind, wanna run away from NS hahaha. hearing test was very comical but you must make sure u wear your headphones the correct side otherwise your right is left. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the real medical examination was next, the ask you lie down the they put this suction thing on your chest to examine your heart rate or something. then height and weight blah blah. the the doctor will ask you some questions see you got any problem. haha apparently according to junxiong, if the doctor see you like a bit gay then will ask you if you are gay. lucky he never ask me hehe. IQ test was horribly. some was quite challenging and some, to certain standards, rather impossible. they ask you memorise a set of numbers. started out with HDB block numbers, then later handphone numbers, then in the end a number that looked like bill gates monthly earnings. and they only give you 2seconds to remember, which is utterly short. oh well, but the checkup ends here le. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;recently a bit mad about one song by diana ross, if we hold on together. yes i know its a old song and please dun tell me its mrs look's favourite song. i rather think of it without the mrs look part. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't lose your way&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;a lil' update here, while trying to struggle to keep my eyes awake cos i dun feel like sleeping. past week had been horrible, with common tests tormenting everybody leaving basically nothing in its wake. GP was okie, its either i do quite well or i flop badly. haha i was just trying out a new way of writing my compo. and compo is bascially what prevents me from failing gp. maths was more encourgaing than usual, i hope i do better than what i did last test. chem was horrible. and to think i studied more for it than physics. physics was okie, but i never had much hope in physics. paper was easier than before, which makes it even more pressurizing to get a grade better than last time. oh wells. we'll see this coming week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;this super long weekend for us after the test have been quite fulfilling. went to a supposedly class outing on sunday which made me realise that our class has shrunk to a company of 7. been quite some time since i last skated, so the first feel of the ice in a couple of years had been rather scary. but things warmed up eventually. first to report injured was jx, with an amazing time of about less than 30mins. next up was boss, who seem to have blistered his ankle while trying to learn stunts with me. kinda got the hang of the cross turn, which u have to lean to one side and cross your leg to turn, like in the physics notes circular motion. felll off once trying to attempt that cos apparently my speed wasn't fast enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;today is quite a fun day though. its to the same place but with different group of people, this time with PA. ice skating again. entered the rink but it was flooded with people la. but oh wellls, ended up pon-ing my music lesson to join them. poor boss had to sit outside cos he didn't want to pay the entrance fee to come in to sit. choon heng was quite comical trying to get him to balance on two blades. but everyone seem to get the hang of everything. ended up trying to have a 'last-survivor competition' with jestyn, dhika and mingxuan as they tried to follow my every move and action cutting in and out and in of people and not to trip and fall. by then the rink had been super watery because of the amount of people skating in it. it was quite challenging considering there was more people than empty spaces. jestyn was supposedly the last survivor with me. but he fell just when he was trying to brake haha so too bad. i think i have more confidence to try and turn and balance myself with one leg and to lean to one side, but couldn't try it high speed. there was one incident where i had one empty corner to speed, so i tried to attempt that high speed turn which resulted in me sliding sideways for like 8m, yes together with the wave and ripple effects. but the feeling was kinda enjoyable hehe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hmm now's 1250am. dun feel like sleeping yet. night just seems so young. oh wells. thats it for now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;sighs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-115194572379530575?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/115194572379530575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=115194572379530575' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115194572379530575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/115194572379530575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/07/lil-update-here-while-trying-to.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-115070039017054354</id><published>2006-06-19T14:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-06-19T14:59:50.183+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;time to keep things short. its mugging time. but there seems to be not enough time to mug. oh mans i'm gonna flop my common tests once again. as usual. but at least if i dun flop maths and chem i'll be happy. i dun care about physics.

AND i got a stitch! bwahahaha and i'm so amazed that my stitch can light up! okie enough of that, we went separate ways to gather the necessary things for our night activity in school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;we happened to pass by taka main square to hear the familar tune of our national harmoc's pieces. turned out to be really them. so malu-ating to be screaming out our friends names in public. but i'm sure they'll appreciate the encouragement haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hehe our night activity involved barricading ourselves inside hall control throughout the night to play mahjong, dota, bridge, daidee, poker blah blah and of course, sleeeeep. and elton even had the crazy idea of playing badminton at 3am in the morning in the gym! i didn't mind, except they were a little unwilling to tag alone, especially boss, who claimed that he didn't want any unexpected meetings with creatures from the other plane. ended up me, elton and mouse amused ourselves with diner dash from yahoo games and laughing at how elton panics until intense pressure. i hope jestyn's laptop screen wasn't disfigured by elton's way of rapidly jabbing the screen with the stylus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;eventually we lasted till morning and went to KAP to eat our breakfast. i was almost considered to be sleep walking if not for the fact that i knew i was walking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;had a super muggy day this morning. went to school to mug maths and i finished 3 chapters worth of revision exercises. yes i know thats NOT a lot so if you have done more than me please dun tell me so. well if you haven, i dun mind you telling me, i could do well with some encouragement during this muggy world cup holidays =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;recently have been faced with a barrage of headaches. and elton tells me it may be low blood pressure. i hope nothing's wrong. i wonder if i can counter low blood pressure by consuming more salt wahahaha. maybe i should consider bathing in seawater. oh wells, 1h20mins more to the world cup starting match! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;sigh..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;holidays started! yay! haha finally can get a good break before the start of the common tests 2. and that stupid michael tay gave me such a high expectation la, AAB for my common tests considering everything is tested for chemistry and physics. i dun think its possible anyway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;ye chuan was a night to remember. haha it was my first time to a CL production and it rocks! haha especially the part with elton being the person's mum. haha when he came in i was practically laughing too hard to pay attention to anything else. so was the rest of us. but i must admit it was quite good. but some of the plays were a bit too chim for my liking. oh wells. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;i dun intend to type too much since i'm feeling kinda sleepy and my brother is going to invade my usage of computer again. i just came back from my class chalet. haha so many memorable events happened. before we went for the chalet there was interview for PA EXCOs. i cant and dun wanna talk too much about that yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;it started off with dinner at whitesands with the rest of s14 guys. then we decided to go to tampines to watch over the hedge. lets just say kayhow did something SUPER funny on the mrt which involved the metal pole on the mrt and lotsa struggling. when we alighted the mrt, me and kendrick was laughing all over the parapet in the mrt station. zen was paralysed with laughter. junxiong and yonks was trying hard but in vain to hold back their laughter. apparently it was so comical it kept me and zen laughing all the way from the mrt to the cinema. and i almost cried laughing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;everything proceeded fine when we bought the tickets and went to NTUC to buy some BBQ stuff. apparently the tickets got lost somewhere in between, and we were 10 mins late for the show. so ended up we had to ask the counter to see if they can give us a replacement ticket. ended up we were lucky and we managed to get in. man thats 8 tickets lost at a single shot. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the night was kinda boring and i was sleeping since the rest of the guys were simply too obsessed with winning eleven 10 to play cards. and i suck at that game. ended up waking up in the morning with yunjie whining for 1 whole hour about going out to eat. half of us went to BK to eat while me, jx, jestyn and kh went to ya kun kaya toast. i have a feeling i added in too much dark sauce into my eggs and drinking my egg up would most definitely shorten my already shortened lifespan much further. but i looked across the table and looked at kh's eggs, i guess mine isn't half as bad. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;BBQ was relatively fun. but the crabsticks kinda sucked. haha and with nuanting trying to poison me with her charred marshmellows. i swear there was a strong taste of charcoal on my black marshmellow. haha took a few photos and then decided to take the long mrt ride home playing mahjong on my handphone. i bet the guys are probably scrambling over the PS2 for that winning eleven 10 or that naruto game. haha oh wells, at least i had fun! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;homework. mug. homework. mug. arhhhh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;one month since i last blogged. lotsa things seem to have happened but now i cant remember everything i wanted to blog about! oh wells just to talk about recent stuff. haha i've been missing gp like anything like that. not that i pon but cos it always happen that my gp lessons fall on days which are fated not to have gp! haha so many fridays will be lost this term la. and friday is my double gp wahahaha. oops.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;today's college day reheasals. things proceeded quite smoothly la, much more smoothly than i expected. as usual being in the backstage will entitle you to a free treatment of body slimming given the squeezy conditions. but oh well, on the actual day i wun be in the backstage sooo hehe oops! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;as a group we decided to go to curry wok to eat thanks to my brillient suggestion. haha typical me. after suaning hanyang there, we went to serene centre to have ice cream, with them dragging along a very reluctant and tired me. oh mans, never in my entire life have i seen HORLICKS ICECREAM! my god! and there's TIGER BEER ICECREAM TOO! thanks to my cranky juniors, they decided to get horlicks and banana. and thats 1 tub of each. so its pretty amusing to see 5 ppl trying to wrench a super hard icecream with 5 spoons from one small tub. i think we burn more fats in the processs of trying to get the icecream out of the tub rather than consuming the icecream. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;haha we finally handed in our pink form to drop subject. mr yeo is soooooo reluctant to let us drop la. haha he keep saying we dun need to drop and we can make it one and that those who need to drop dun wanna drop and those who dun need to drop wanna drop. haha he talk until very farnie la, kinda reminds of elton. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;junxiong: my physics common test 16 marks leh. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;mr yeo: okayyyy wad&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;junxiong: zero percentile leh!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;mr yeo: okayyy wad, can take la.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;haha talking to him very corny la. but oh wells, finally dropped econs le.thats about all the econs i'm going to take for now i guess. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;currently playing a game called kingdom hearts 2. for those who dunno, its a combined game by squaresoft and disney. basically u can see donald duck and goofy fighting. not to mention mickey mouse and other disney characters like aladin and pooh. oh man its the story thats so very interesting and attracting la. the story line is so nice! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;oh wells, time to sleep. super tired le. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;hoho. just woke up from a 4h nap but i'm still sleepy. i'm so sleep deprived this week. so busy yet so fun! thanks to aristal i get to skip so many GP lessons. wahaha so shiok. there was a aristal reheasal at UCC on thursday. haven been there for quite some time le. i remember the last time i've been there was for an EL production if i never remember wrongly. but many super interesting things happened there haha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;first incident. haha nuanting forbidded me to blog about this but i'll do so anyway haha. our class went into our dressing room which was super big and looked even bigger than some of the chalets we had. then i had a bright idea of fooling everyone that there is a toilet in the room cos the cupboards all look so big. i pointed to the back cupboard and said it was the toilet. haha then nuanting also wanted to fool someone else that there was a toilet and said the first cupboard was the toilet and she pretended to go in and use it to make the act more realistic. haha then when she went in john held the door close and dun let her out. haha so for 5 minutes we were all laughing while nuanting had to pretend it was a toilet and must imitate the flushing sound. hahaha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;second incident. even funnier. it was jestyn and junxiong's first trip to UCC, so they decided to explore the undiscovered world of UCC's backstage which i assure u is 3 storeys high. while we were all in our dressing room we got a call from junxiong that both of them were trapped somewhere cos the door on the other side has no handle. then me and kayhow went searching all over the place for that one special WHITE door which they were trapped behind. haha damn funny. they were trapped in a place called orchestra pit/trap. they NEVER see the word TRAP la. haha and they just walked into the place. and junxiong was complaining that his handphone batteries just died by about 20% just trying to lead us on how to get them out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;third incident. haha by right this incident should remain secret one but heck. the food com ppl had to prepare rose syrup for them. and they poured in 2litres of pure concentrated syrup into the dispenser la. haha then it was SUPER sweet and not enuff to go around. and since we didn't have a stirrer big enough to stir the whole mixture, we invented new ways of stirring. one which involved circular motion. hahaha me junxiong and kayhow all take turns push in one direction so the dispenser can go in a circle. the next way involved yun jie holding on the dispenser and jumping up and down, a lot like that milk tea stall u see in pasar malams where got one doll holding on to a bottle jumping up and down haha. damn funny.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;the actual day came swiftly and passed smoothly. there didn't see to be any major hic-ups. i personally liked a few of the dances and their songs, some more for their song lol. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;ang-gun was wonderful. wahaha me and jestyn went to the extent of trying to learn their dance even though it was an all-girls dance. never mind i shall unleash my potential in seductive butt shaking if i get the opportunity while jestyn is the only one that can do that funny thing with his head that makes him look like an egyptian. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;eastern sunrise very nice! especially the song! the song itself brings out the mood of the sunrise very very well! i want that song i want that song! the song goes easy on the grandness of the music from the start with the help of mainly woodwind instruments to depict the image of the sun's awakening. it gives a sense of anticipation and expectation. then it progresses on with slightly more majesty to bring out the grandeur of sun rising steadily into the sky ending with a short moment of grandness as the feeling of serenity seeps in with the changing of instruments back to soft-instruments, which instills the sense of a lovely peaceful morning to start out a fresh new day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;latin was quite good too. except that the dances like very hard to learn cos this time it involved hip shaking. haha but the song was also very nice. i heard the song is i need to know by marc anthony. its very nice also! but i like the dance too its very latin dancing style. haha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sian too bad the whole aristal event is over. we had loads of fun from all the funny antics we seem to come up with like the entertainment value of me, junxiong, kayhow and jestyn trying to dance some chinese dance. haha its meant to be seductive but i dunno why everyone laugh. i know this'll be another memory i dun want to forget so i'm going to make sure that i dun forget this 2 days now (:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;this week was a rather eventful week i must say. matches for the nj cyber games have finally started for us. first game we had was on monday against team WTF, which we won. bernard immediately went to first spot in the number of heros he killed, accomplishing in 1 match what other teams accomplished in 2 matches. second game against CMC had some sparks of conflict. i can safely say the gaming committee of the IT club has no brains. they disqualified us for this match. its kinda hard to explain in non-dota terms, but yea just for the everyone's information, they did something stupid. a good analogy i can find for that match is e.g. a soccer match, team A kicks the ball and accidentally hit team B player's hand with team B player having NO intention of using his hand to touch the ball. because soccer cannot use hand to contact the ball, team B is disqualified and team A wins. yes the IT club sucks. we got into the semis just because we were lucky CMC lost of WTF (e.g. A win B, B win C, C win A) that wasn't the end of it all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;the semis match against SACJC sparked up even more conflict. because one of their players were late, they had to play 4 vs 5 against us. personally and honestly, at that point in time, i was half against playing that match and half for playing that match. i didn't want to play against them cos they are a strong opponent and why risk it. and plus, we were still very upset about the IT club disqualifying us for the previous round. but i wanted to play against them cos the person who was late was my junior, and he called me to inform me that he will be late at 7.05pm when the match was supposed to start at 7.00pm. he arrived at 7.25pm but the match had already started. but what kinda irks him the most is that when he called the game marshall, the game marshall ask him to come up and discuss first, but at that time i he called i heard that he had already been given the red card (not allowed to play for the game) cos i called him to inform him of all of the things that i know. during the first part of the game when he wasn't there yet, he argued on the phone with perk lun that there was a match team attitude against team TDL that started late too. i overheard the conversation and perk lun said no such thing. when he ask him to go and check the match records, the match did start late and perk lun's reply is (if i remember correctly) go tell that to the teams. 4v5 game, its already half won. after the match, both teams decided that the IT club is trying to push all the blame to the competititers. what i can say in this is the competition was a success, but the management was a failure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;on a lighter note, there was aristal rehearsal on the wednesday after training. i must say it was good. very good i must say. especially the western dance and chinese dance. i shall not comment about all the dances since i dun wanna spoil the show for ppl who are going to watch it. but oh man oh man it is something that cannot be missed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh well, i shall not update anymore already. everyone's pissed with the IT club. as much as i feel pissed with the IT club, i feel guilty, guilty that i didn't do anything to try and do something to wait for a fair match. there's always 2 sides to a coin. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;it all started from ONE dumb clarity

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;blogging seems to have become a weekly affair for me le. the past week was busy but fun! haha but the sight of common test results seem to have put many off. as usual i flunked much of it. anyway, training started for the new pa j1s! haha okie many had other events to do or cca commitments so didn't come. BUT, there was still quite a number of j1s that turned up for training. i think i shall hold one make up training this coming thursday. i let them spend more time with the mike stands so they are more comfortable and proficient with adjusting it, haha shihui then turns it into a mike stand setting up competition. haha but it spices the training session up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;there was talentine rehearsals but i wasn't doing duty for that. but i watched talentine performance on friday. haha i must admit it was quite entertaining, especially the group vocals and dance category. there was one group that sang a bubble gum song which i highly think is a song they wrote for this talentine. the lyrics is sooooo comical. plus when they came unto stage, i was already starting to laugh. but i think a lot of the choir vocal groups were good, especially the one which cheryl sang 'fire' dance part was SUPER good, mainly because of dismas's item. his group won first la and its a definate first. immediately after he perform the crowd was alreeady screaming for encore. it was very good and i think those who didn't catch it missed something interesting. haha and during ever possible interval since, the crowd kept screaming for encore. in the end after the entire event, PA did everyone a favour and played their dance music. haha ended up they did an encore =) PA was soooo high after talentine that elton started screaming cheers for PA. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;before talentine i had to do an angklung enrichment thing. turned out to be quite nice too! except that we had to set up a lot of things. i think much more than they requested for -__- haha jestyn had to run up and down to help me get things. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. the next week is coming up. the cyber games competition has finally reached us! 2 matches to be played against team WTF and team CMC. hope i dun do too badly. wish us luck! =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-114455774436317381?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/114455774436317381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=114455774436317381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114455774436317381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114455774436317381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/04/blogging-seems-to-have-become-weekly.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-114390242323029100</id><published>2006-04-01T20:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-01T22:40:26.650+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;aww mans enrichment week is almost over. and it was just starting to get fun. lotsa things happened this week! tuesday we had farm ride. we went to lim chu kang area then to get our bikes. haha kinda remind me of my project work days where we were trying to walk around to look for high-tech farms. but anyway our group 2 instructor very friendly and sociable. then we all kept joking around. we visited 3 farms actually. first was to see cows. the farm kinda stink from the smell of the cow dung but it was fun looking at the cows eat. and i was trying to make cow jokes all the way in the farm. haha white cows produce fresh milk. brown cows produce chocolate milk =D haha okie enough of the cow jokes. next was a frog farm. i think by farm this is the most interesting one. we had up close encounter with frogs and feeding them. but it was full of mosquitos so its not exactly very comfortable. but the last part of the farm was supposed to be the most 'memorable' one la. its truly memorable la. its the part where they show us how they cut up the frongs. its was bloody but at least the frog died fast la. haha then when the person ask our group instructor to try, the frog damn sad la. he had to chop 3-4 times before the frog actually died. my god. imagine being cut at the neck area but not enuff to fully knock u out. then got a lot of screaming from the audience. last was the wheat grass farm . lucky they got provide nice refreshments after a long day of cycling. butt was so pain after that day la from cycling. but i think it was really fun la. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;thursday i went for food trail. we had to rate 2 types of food, nasi lemak and yong tau foo for the 6 places we go to. some places nasi lemak v nice la. especially the rice. but after the like 4th stop all of us were like either quite full or sick of eating the same food over and over again. imagine eating nasi lemak 5 times! (we skipped the last stop) we came back to school tired and bloated. enough. i've probably seen enough nasi lemak and yong tau foos to last me quite some time le. after that we went to settle some pa camp stuff, going here and there ordering this and that. but at least we settled it chop chop.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;friday was by far the fun-est and busiest day! early in the morning had this arts education program which had a very very very zai dance la! my god they were superb la! i suddenly like dancing haha but i know i cant dance very well either. later had cheer leading which i think was excellent. we did a lot of stunts and i felt a very big sense of accomplishment! first stunt i paired up with pong and we had to support the girl on our hands. then after that she had to stand up la. since it was the first stunt we were learning it took quite long to master it cos some of the girls quite scared of standing up cos they are afraid to fall down. but actually i think its quite ironic. cos they had to stand up straight not to fall down. if they sit down with us pushing them up i think they will fall backwards. next stunt was easier cos the girl had to jump to our shoulders and sit there. at first i was quite scared the impact will be very big but after doing it it wasn't that bad la. can say its the easiest of the stunts. i think the girl i supported (phoebe) got quite worried after i let her sit on my back and i jumped around a little sorta like a roller coaster ride haha. next was standing on my shoulders and this was slightly more difficult cos have to balance more. but it was painful for my shoulders. after that mr tay decided to do a simple pyramid with all of us. it was a 3 level pyramid so people had to support people supporting the girl. quite a number of failed attempts before we actually suceeded la. plus pong had a very nice shoe print on his ignis shirt when one of the girls fell and gave him a boot in the chest haha. we took a photo and video of it too! last was the toss. 4 guys had to toss a girl straight up. haha me, pong, yunjie and jestyn practised with grace's shoe first and we threw the shoe in a projectile motion la. haha phoebe looks so worried. but after a while we suceeded in throwed the girl straight up and catching he back for our group la. the other group tried with the toss but after a while something happened la. the group couldn't grab the girl properly when she fell so she kinda knocked her head onto the ground. its very sad la. but lucky thing was that he fall was cushioned so she didn't suffer the full impact of the fall. but i heard she was hospitalised and going for an operation. sad thing. it was just a freak accident la. kind sad that cheer leading had to end with such a tone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyway next was a trip to snow city. oh man this is the first time i actually SAW a liquid gas la. its looks a lot like water. the demonstration on how cold liquid nitrogen actually was is cool la. he put in a flower in for like 10sec and he hit it on the table. the flower actually shattered. mans imagine a finger shattering. we went to play with the snow slide later too. it was darn cold. its freezing la. i go in for like 30mins and i feel my fingertips quite painful from the cold le. but the ride down was fun we went down as a class and there was lotsa screaming here and there throughout the city. not to metion snow fights between the guys and the girls. i think nuanting and andy came out the worst of both sides. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;after that me, jx, kh and jestyn ran all the way to jurong east where we went to buy some pa camp stuff and also to collect flowers. then we shared cab back to school for pa camp and choir concert. wah i come back suddenly so many changes scare me to death. but at least i think the concert proceeded on quite smoothly except a few mistakes here and there. i like the song hey jude!!! my god that guy's voice is BEAUTIFUL la. haha why he never solo throughout the entire finale song.. after that we chop chop pack up and run to the camp. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;pa camp ROCKS man. muahaha. we let them watch a nice scary movie and we played a murder game! i think it rocks la. some people believed that there was really a murder. hahaha and i'm the murderer. there was an accidental death and 2 intended deaths. but i hope the j1s enjoyed the game. now everyone knows that our school does not sell vanilla coke in the vending machine. it was supposed to be lights out for everyone but j2s went somewhere else to play. i shall not disclose this part since i dun think it should be known to everyone hehe =) slept for like 45mins before we had to trek out to beauty world there to have our breakfast. by the time i was there i was already half dead le. thanks to elton we had a save-the-xinming fund set up. i was darn hungry la. my last meal then was exactly 24hrs ago during the arts program. but i only ate 2 pratas. i dun think i will eat 4 even if i can take in like 5 or 6. its flour and flour and more flour leh. then the horrid truth. we have to trek back! my god by the time i reach school i was paralysed le. then somemore we played captains ball. at least my team won haha. played a few more games then we ended the camp. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;my whole body is soooo suan, especially the legs. but i thoroughly enjoyed my enrichment week! i hope there's another time for us to enjoy and bond together. sigh but all good things have to come to an end. at least there are more concerts to look forward too. everyone seem to be very eager to use the LT5 lightings after they saw the choir concert haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-114390242323029100?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/114390242323029100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=114390242323029100' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114390242323029100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114390242323029100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/04/aww-mans-enrichment-week-is-almost.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-114325724613416259</id><published>2006-03-25T11:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-25T11:27:26.146+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;its been a long long time since i last blog so here i am again! life since then had been quite mundane. mugging all the way during the march holidays. at least i went back to rv during on of the days to catch up with my juniors. as usual we ended up in the lan shop again. haha okie they came cloooooose to winning me and benny, but we won in the end! better luck next time! rest of the march holidays were spent in woodlands library with jestyn. mugging mugging mugging. but i seem to be quite distracted by the reference section. haha all the books i take seem to have nothing to do with the common tests =D &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;common tests were undescribable as usual. it kinda makes u think if u studied hard enough in the first place and whether there was any difference studying in the first place. but i'm quite sure to flunk certain subjects, like econs. never mind fail 1 drop 1 subject. fail 4 subjects also drop 1 subject. haha i dun care le now that its over. but i dun wanna drop anything!!oh wells.. i shall just insist on taking. but i severely need help in econs.. physics spa was okie, i dun really know if wad i wrote was acceptable but i sorta thought it was okie myself. seems like quite a difficult paper anyway and the time is so idiotically short la. i thought it was supposed to be 1h 10mins or wad la. i hope i dun flunk it. there seems to be quite a bit of controversy about what ppl have written for their dependant and independent variable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;had pa discussion again after school! and once again it was thoroughly enjoyable. i cant wait for the camp! but i hope things work out for the camp too. after that had to stay back to do rehearsals for choir concert. oh man i'm so proud of my works on the lightings. its so idiotically tedious to set a scene. anyway the performance was awesome. haha we actually liked one of their piece so much that we recorded their singing down into a cassette tape. well if anyone wants to buy the tickets u can get some from me, so just tell me if u want any. the rehearsal lasted from quite a long time and it left me mentally drained. but it was quite entertaining. we actually sang that song all the way from hall control to the busstop. of course we didn't sing in front of the choir ppl. we didn't want to exhibit our incapability in singing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;there're finally time to take a deep breath! enrichment week is approaching fast and i'm anticipating it eagerly! i cant wait for that food trail. i going to eat at EVERY SINGLE stop =) there's also the pa camp! hmm and i wanna watch dorm! apparently boss they was quite reluctant to watch cos pa have to come school very early and leave school very late, not to mention probing into dark corners every now and then. haha i shall see how much it can scare me!

(oh haha except the fact that for this week kayhow was literally LAME. lol our jokes cracked this week seem to just revolve around that topic) i guess life gets significantly mundane without any events to co-ordinate. as much as it will jam up my schedule, i must say i enjoy doing them. i wonder how things will be like when we all step down.. i'm starting to enjoy everything and everything has to end soon. but anyway there's always the may period to look forward to. lotsa event! but sure busy until like dunno what. lessons are boring, except maybe chemistry. i suddenly found a love for organic chem haha and i used to hate it. now i seem to like organic chem more than physical chem. i assumed gp lessons to be super boring since i went for none. lucky i heard my dumb gp teacher didn't realise i MIA-ed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;at least the march holidays are here!

okie there is one left and its tom yam. i dislike tom yam. must remind the school to constantly restock the vital vending machines in school. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;watched final destination with class again. okie technically speaking its with the class. but there were only like 6 people. me, pong, yonks, kh, jx and jestyn. and its all guys. haha i think the girls didn't wanna go watch such a gruesome show, which i feel it was. at least i think it was quite exciting. but like all the deaths like something to do with the head one. hahaha then after that we walked around marina discussing about the show. then we remembered that during the show that there was a sentence: u cannot escape death and taxes. haha then i remembered the guest presenter at LT1 said something similar: there are 2 certainties in life, death and taxes. hahaha then we had a big hooha about that thinking it was a clue lol. haha it was quite comical though. after that me, yonks, kh and jestyn decided to walk around more then i was also trying to scout out for a nice and good mp3 player. after that jestyn had the idea of playing lan so we ended up going to plaza sing that area to look for lan shops. haha i didn't realise it would be so full. went fish &amp; co at the wadever glass house there to eat. the ambience was very good, but i had second opinions about their seafood platter. okie maybe i didn't like it as much as the one at cartel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;haha and oh me and pong were talking on the mrt before we watched final destionation and we came across this very crazy idea of how to bond the class hahaha. we can start a band thing. then we have different roles of everyone. john can be the guitarist. i'm the pianist. jx is the vocalist. pong is the drummist (is there even such a word?) kendrick can DANCE while jx sing HAHAHA. michael tay can be his chorographer. zen can be in charge of ticketing and marketing since he's econs S. yunjie can be in charge of food catering lol provided he doesn't like eat everything before everyone else have a go at the food. yonks and dx can help us advertise by putting our class band on their track and soccer jerseys. kh can be our stage manager cum techincal support officer since he's PA president. jestyn's our treasurer since he's our PA treasurer, can help zen keep the money before he gobbles up the profits =D andy is our event BOUNCER hahaha since he's soooo fit. the girls can be our fans so during the performance at least got fans. otherwise no one come support not very nice hahaha. i hope i didn't miss anyone out. i dun think so. yup yup haha i think this is a crazy idea lol.   &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-114156085520695135?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/114156085520695135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=114156085520695135' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114156085520695135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114156085520695135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/03/oh-man-common-tests-are-really-coming.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-114086337562793325</id><published>2006-02-25T17:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-02-25T18:29:35.636+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;yup yup i'm here to update my blog again! haha recently quite tired so didn't really have the mood to blog. i think i'm always tired. *yaWn..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hmm just some things about what happened this week for me. had physics spa skill d on tuesday. normally i dun really care about spa one. dunno why that particular time when i do i was so much more tense than usual. then when i plotted my graph i spent like 10mins comtemplating whether i plotted all my points correctly. ended up i plotted wrongly and i redrew it. and i got more nervous. then i continued on to calculations due to my anxiety, i made more mistakes. and when i found out i grew more nervous. oh man i just got more and more tense. so idiotic la. i was so scared of running out of time. ended up i finished on the dot. i was so shaken by the spa after it. haha anyway its over le&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;wed. had to teach a j2 arts student lightings since she was quite interested in light design or something. then my teacher in charge just referred her to me since i'm the training officer. anyway all i know is how to operate the lightings in NJ. its not like i can help much in telling her what u learn in light designing or something like that. i'm still trying to learn how to use that computer that controls the lightings in LT5 la. theres just too much things the lighting can do that we just haven discovered or learnt. i'm beginning to hate wednesday too. my DUMB gp teacher decided to use up that MT/GP slots. i'm sooo going to PON wednesdays la. its like having 2 double GPs in a single week. and the thing is we dun do much during lessons la. all we do is stone. i must say i've evoled le. i dun stone anymore. i rock  =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;nearing the end of the week seem to make me happier. mr tay said that the physics spa question for skill a had to be changed cos someone leaked out info to people-who-should-not-know-that-kind-of-information. oh man some people just dunno how to keep quiet. so idiotic. anyway i'm gonna die anyway. physics common test is MAD. its no different from a promo paper la. they are going to test every single topic tested in year 1 and 2. at least the other subjects are better la, test only year 2 topics. SO IDIOTIC. haha i'm so going to rely on tips again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hmm i just came back from watching the danceworks at marina square with PA. oh man NJ western dance rocks la. i think they're seriously one of the best groups there. okie maybe it was cos we only watched the second part where all the 'WORKS' groups perform la. we never really got to see the 'DANCE' groups perform. but NJ one really very good. another group which i thought was quite good was onslaught. at least they looked much better than the other groups. never stayed on to see the results so i dunno who won or what. i hope NJ wins something. for that kind of performance i think they deserve at least something. haha i think the MC was also quite impressed by their performance la. he seem to be awed by NJ's dance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh wells. there's so little time left to enjoy the weekend. *yaWn.. i hope i survive year2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-114086337562793325?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/114086337562793325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=114086337562793325' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114086337562793325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114086337562793325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/02/yup-yup-im-here-to-update-my-blog.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-114026578739316524</id><published>2006-02-18T19:46:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-02-18T20:29:47.406+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;haha here i am again! oh wells i just woke up and i hope i can catch that 10pm movie kate and leopold. i watched it before and i highly recommend this terrific romance comedy! i heard tv mobile like "advertise" this show and i heard this line "what if love lasted a few centuries" haha and i immediately thought of that show then really is that show. must watch must watch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hmm yesterday was road run and it was pretty tiring. DUH. came to school early to start positioning the new speakers and set up the outdoor system. haha after carrying them i almost no strength to run anymore le. road run started for j2 boys with mr yong running the dunno-how-many-th round of the road run. it looks like a stampede as usual, although this happens to be my first time running the road run cos i missed it last year due to knee injury. anyway i think we all missed the top 50 by that little bit la. but i didn't intend to win or anything so doesn't matter for me. after that had an cheering competition which &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ignis&lt;/span&gt; should have rightfully gotten first! our cheer was so cool la. got party poppers and torch also. but the cleaning up not cool -__- but at least every house won something from the road run. then suddenly we played the mass dance 2006 songs again and everyone started dancing! haha but unfortunately i heard one of our speakers vibrate until so hiong until it slipped off the table and landed on the grass. talk about ultra-powerful speakers. and i just realised too. the speakers are 41kg. they're not just half my weight -__- oh wells after that i went out with the pa crew to bukit timah plaza to have lunch cos we sorta have a workshop about the LT5 lightings later at 2. oh man i must say this the lightings are SOOOOOO cool. and there are like so many colour combinations la. ( some kind of computer thing. i'm a computer idiot so i &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;dunno what 8 bit this then mathematically speaking number of colour choice is 256X256X256= 1.6million plus ) oh man then the lights can move along to how i move my mouse on leh its soooo cool la. then can make so many patterns blah blah. suddenly doing lightings during events seem like such an attractive job. then after that we turned LT5 into a disco area. so we starting singing karaoke. i slept on the stage. i bet its full of my sweat and facial oil lol. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;today had to start training for this group of 5 tanglin students cos they are going to be attached to our school to like observe all the pa stuff. oh well introduction started out a bit shaky and i almost had a mental block when teachiing halfway but never mind things still turned out fine in the end. i dunno why i so nervous at the start but after a while not le. after that me, jestyn and elton went to acjc funfair. wah seh their games and food hor what price can hit the roof leh. haunted house $10 and got 4 LTs of haunted house. then wanna duck the principal like cost dunno $800 plus plus. then my junior just told me one of the students drive to school in a porshe. oh man and they have a students carpark!! *faints* they have a different defination of cheap and expensive compared to me la. but overall it was quite okie la, except that there was like so many people then no place to walk. but foodwise quite good la. they even got sell food like kenny rogers and swensons la. oh man u come nj funfair or what we give u magnolia la. rich guys. if only i had so much money. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyway today when i read other peoples blogs, i came across something in zen's blog that i felt was kinda true. and i thought i was the only one that had that kinda feeling until he posted the entry. maybe there are other people out there other than the 2 of us that have the same feeling. he mentioned that it was like a nagging feeling that something is missing from his life. and lunz suggested that it was the lack of girlfriend or something, not the kind u go muacking around with but something like a speaking companion which i found it to be like quite true. maybe all of us had different definations of what a girlfriend is. haha oh wells i shall stop here or i will sound so despo which i am not. and my stomach is rumbling *roars* shall update again some other time!

haha first time i had to do something related to pa after school but i'm home before 10! haha this calls for a celebration. i think is everyone really too tired le. anyway i shall blog abt these past few days. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;tuesday was valentines' day. haha we decided to hold a bachelors outing. only those eligable can come. anyway the same group of us decided to go to to NYDC to eat. we initialy wanted to go marina square and try and catch mr tay with his girlfriend which some of us hypothesized to be imaginary. he showed us a picture but some of us still refused to believe he has a girlfriend hahaha. anyway we went to wheelock place NYDC. turned out that there was not enought seats for all of us so we went to this cafe called big O opposite to NYDC. oh man its so idiotically expensive and idiotically small-portioned. the mudpies were okie but i ate this mudpie called darkside and i was sick of it when i was only halfway. elton took the rest. hahaha and the maincourse elton ordered looked like 7dumplings in a very big plate la. steak was good but too small. anyway after that we went to taka to meet linghui, nuanting and christine, which they passed us a box of important documents. it turned out to be a valentines gift for the 5 of us. hahaha the drawing inside is kiddy but its very interesting and unique. haha at least to kayhow it is =p but its one very heavy box. but nonetheless we appreciate your gift to all of us =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;wednesday. what a slacky day. well it was supposed to be a slacky day until my dumb gp teacher decided to use up that GP/MT slot. oh man and i was basically acting as a rock the whole lesson. just stoning. total defense day concert was very smooth in LT5 but i heard it was a totally different thing in the hall. but anyway to those in LT5, very good job. things went on much much more smoothly than i expected. adi sang very well and i'm hooked on to that song le. haha and i'm spreading to the rest of the pa crew. now they're hooked on to it. hahaha. we had the arrival of 2 new speakers and the man was going to set the equilizer today for the road run this friday. oh man the new speakers are IDIOTICALLY heavy. i dunno how the new j1s are going to carry it since the pa j1s are mostly girls. its like up to my chest and weighs like half my weight. but the new speakers are really good. if there was ever another dance party, those speakers are going to rock. quality is really very good. finally learnt what those untouchable buttons on a equalisers are and what they do. anyway after that we had to keep the speakers, then while me and jestyn were trying to pack they up, something happened. hahaha i'm so proud to have left a mark in NJ! i left more than a mark. i left my blood, my skin and my flesh. while trying to put the speakers back into the box my finger got stuck between the rough side of the box and the speaker. then i shouted to jestyn eh stop. then he thought i cannot hold on to the weight of the speakers anymore so he used all his strength to push the speaker into the box. oh man and u all can guess what happened. lucky it wasn't very serious la. but the speaker got my skin and blood haha. and jestyn you owe me a lifetime of breakfast, lunch and dinner =D one mouthful of green apple ice blended with pearls does not make my finger better hahaha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;anyway looking forward to the end of the week once again. heard there is going to be a batch of tanglin students that will come on saturday to nj to come and learn how to operate pa systems and i'm supposed to teach them. thats the easy part. the hard part is trying to come up with a suitable set of notes.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20774735-114000268214501161?l=-spirit-.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/feeds/114000268214501161/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20774735&amp;postID=114000268214501161' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114000268214501161'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20774735/posts/default/114000268214501161'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://-spirit-.blogspot.com/2006/02/its-miracle-haha-first-time-i-had-to.html' title=''/><author><name>-xinming</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14273561787103588133</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20774735.post-113975915340195956</id><published>2006-02-12T23:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-02-12T23:45:53.446+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;haha its the end of the weekends le. so sad after enduring one tiring week of school. jc is become more and more horrible. had to write a dumb gp essay at the friday double period some more la. my dumb gp teacher just came prancing into the room and said surprise lets do essay! anyway after that had this mldds production thing. i wasn't really paying much attention to it since i didn't want to do this event and neither do i understand the words that are coming out of their mouth. but just to keep elton and kayhow company, i decided to stay on until the end of the rehearsal so they got more people to talk to. oh and i STILL cant believe what i did to pass time. i actually went to hall control to carry one extension cable and lamp to the LT5 control room to MUG. haha i'm losing the old slacky me le. but oh well, its jc2 now. have to mug sooner or later. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;saturday came and me, jestyn, kayhow and junxiong met up to cut hair. haha i agree with jestyn, RAVE at far east plaza has officially become our class hair salon. most of our class guys all cut hair there la. for $12 they help u wash hair, cut hair, wash hair then style hair. not bad some more the person cut until quite nice. i just cut my hair until damn short la haha. after that went to walk around, going to different hotels to examine their toilet standard haha. no la we basically went to try out the different toilets in the different hotels since we all had to use the toilet at different intervals. anyway just lagged around and we went to heeren. then jestyn suddenly suggested taking neoprints. hahaha image 4 guys taking a neoprint la. anyway we just went to take neoprint. oh my god la got some pictures pose until so gay la. hahaha i'm going to preserve my image lol. i took the picture that looked the least gay. but quite a fun experience la 4 suaku guys trying to figure out how the machine works lol. and junxiong's horrible designing plus handwriting =p &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;okie then came sunday. me and yunjie met up early cos yunjie wanted to buy something for his mortal or angel cant remember. so he said he wanted to buy chocolates and kayhow suggested candy empire at millenia walk. but kayhow was apparently "5minutes" late as mentioned by yunjie. haha he arrived about 30minutes after i met up with yunjie. so the both of us not knowing where and what millenia walk is decided to self-explore until we like arrived at a highly secure part of suntec city with security guards patrolling. its like some high tech military zone la. anyway found our way to milliena walk and i discovered it was a shopping centre. oh my gosh at first i thought it was something like people's park la those kind of lao pok pok one. anyway we went to meet the rest of the class at city hall since there was a 06s14 and 05s14 outing to marina square changing appetites for lunch. well not many 06s14 ppl came but definately a lot of 05s14 ppl came. hahaha i was wondering whether its because everyone thought it was a JTS. okie we occupied quite a big space inside that cafe. routine stuff took photos here and there and made a bit of mess here and there. but it was fun talking to our junior class. so good most of the class made the cut-off point to nj, which means they might stay as one class. one 06s14. after that we went to the arcade and i shall proudly proclaim my capabilities of dancing DDR. haha 101 ways how to embarrass yourself in public by me. i lost miserably hahaha the guys played the new game house of the dead 4, with kayhow playing so ji1-dong4-ly as the monsters on the screen. haha so comical. anyway we went to play pool later. oh man zhirui and aaron so pro la. me and kendrick are both negative influences. hahaha not to mention andy too. after that we all split up and everyone went home. jestyn needed to go home first. me and jx went to look for something. so we went from marina square to city hall to suntec city to milliena walk to suntec city and around suntec city then to city hall to meet jestyn again. after meeting jestyn, we walk from city hall to suntec to milliena walk to suntec then around suntec then to city hall again. poor me. my legs are paralysed. met up with nuanting and we went to esplanade to watch the fireworks again. the rest of them couldn't make it. hahaha i'm so amazed by the fireworks once again. last time i was so amazed by the trembling of the ground was cos i was sitting down. wah this time i stand up and the firework BANG!

okie ya i think i quite suaku anyway. okie i saw it once during p5 during national day when our school took all of us there for the ndp preview.. but that doesn't count. anyway okie i was quite taken aback cos i nv felt the the ground tremble before. but okie it did tremble. and believe me i was quite amazed by it. anyway before that me, jestyn, junxiong, linghui, nuanting and christine met up at city hall and went to this river hongbao to walk walk see see. most of the stores like from pasar malam one. haha we met this mediacorp artiste felicia (is this how u spell her name), the one got act in that ren4 wo3 ao2 you2 one. she was with her boyfriend i think. okie i think it was quite packed there, but it was worth the wait. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;hmm before meeting up with them i had reunion dinner. well it didn't really turn out as a reunion dinner because most of the invited relatives couldn't make it and it turned out we cannot cancel the additional booking. so it ended up 6 people had to share a 10 person dinner. simply speaking, i had 4 bowls of shark's fin soup. muhahaha. okie never mind cos i like sharks fin soup a lot. but after the dinner was so bloated cos most of the food was eaten by me and my bro. haha kinda gives all of u an idea of our appetite and our stomach capacity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;today went to relatives house to bai nian. as usual its mostly stoning time for me. adults go talk among themselves then me and my brother stoning in some part of the house cos no one wanna talk to us lol. maybe its the age difference among me and the people present. but i dun talk to my cousin anyway so no difference. i had a hard time restraining myself from touching the new year goodies since i had a slight fever the day before. haha but okie i sorta gave in a little and ate a little bit. i dun think anyone can sit in front of a table full of goodies and not eat them.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;okie i think i shall end off now la. i have a feeling i have so much work to catch up during this holiday but i just dunno where to start. not to mention i just lost my diskette for my music lesson. i'm so screwed if i cant find it. oh man that is many years of my music lost!!

anyway got back quite a lot of test papers and haha i'm so happy to fail them all!! haha okie i think i fail all the test fail until i lost my mind le. still trying to catch up with school work although progress seems to be extremely slow.. extremely slow indeed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;now everything is in the midst of chinese new year celebrations. today's use-your-hands exercise was a total waste of time since everyone's focus was so diverted to mr tay's cute little doggy called rocky. haha it even attracted people from neighbouring classes over to our classroom la. but basically no work was really done except pouring water in the classroom hoping that it will wash out so dirt or dust along the way. haha no wonder guys dun do housework. other than that we spend valuable cleaning-up time trying to give birthday suits to 3 people although its only one person's birthday. the other 2 were just innocent bystanders pulled into the fray. i shall comment that i played no part whatsoever in the giving of birthday suits. all i contribute was carbon dioxide and manical laughter along with many others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;alright the new year celebrations were quite okie, not too bad and not that good either. i dun really like new year either other than just the hong baos because it means going to relative houses again. for me its one of the most boring things i can ever participate in because all my relatives speak in dialect and i dun understand a single thing! i just sit there and eat new year tidbits after saying "gong xi fa cai" to everyone. wad a way to spend my new year. okie back to about the celebrations, finally working with the new j1s. quite an enriching experience reminding me about my first even which also happened to be chinese new year celebrations. i must say those people under my wing learn very fast. and i thought i teach too fast.. yup just hope nothing screws up on that day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;oh and we finally decided to get ourselves a new class-tee, or class jersey to be exact. although some of us commented that it made us look a bit like bumblebees but i still like it though i never saw the design myself. the thought of the colour combination already made me quite interested in it. oh man but i wanted number 11!! its giggs's number!! but never mind since its already taken up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;grrr my body still feels so &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ITCHY!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; oh well i just its recovering anyway. but its still very irritating!! oh man i cant wait for it to recover. anyway happy chinese new year to all ba!

rashes is going to drive me madddd. somemore this week got 2 tests la, out of which i sure die for my chem but never mind since mrs choo say only got 2 people above 45% haha so i feel so comforted that got a lot of people die along with me too. physics was slightly better than chem but i think i will fail too so not much to talk about. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;haha gp was fun today cos we watched billy elliot. the show is quite nice, the very least it beats sitting around in the classroom doing comprehension or composition for 2 periods. anyway there's also the nj super star auditions today. oh man siyuan is so zai la. i think &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ignis&lt;/span&gt; people all rock la sing so well. all so multi-talented one, but pity didn't make it to the finals which i think some deserved to be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;oh well i shall think of another method to prevent me from scratching myself to curb that dumb itch that is haressing me. its... so... &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRRITATING&lt;/strong&gt;!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;hmm having mixed feelings right now. orientation 2006 just ended 2 hours ago. feel so reluctant to let go of everything since it was so fun la. 06S14 rocks man. so does the ogls from 06S14 (: but also quite relieved that dun have to wake up so early in the morning to go for briefings again le. can sleep longer. really have to catch up on my sleep i sacrificed during the past 2 weeks. cannot tahan anymore haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;war games was fun. both part 1 and part 2 but especially part 2 since we get to bombard all the J1s with our vastly superior artillery shells (: hehe but we all pretended to die in the end so the storyline can follow otherwise i think the dark wizards will win in the end la. anyway i didn't play war games part 1 since i was too busy trying to fill the endless supply of empty pails but i think most of all is cos i dun wanna get muddy. wet, okie. mud no. but &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ignis&lt;/span&gt; won la haha &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;ignis&lt;/span&gt; rocks man. actually cos &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;aries&lt;/span&gt; got all of the damage but since both houses were allies so it was an allied victory la. our "elders" were practically untouched. station games was fun too la watching S14 play all the mini games hahaha some stations damn corny to watch la, especially the obstacle course. one girl and one guy have to stand back to back and swing in circles while holding on to each other. starting is both swing together then with liu pu and his giant strength he was basically swinging the girl around la. haha the girl just got swung round and round like merry-go-round like that. damn poor thing haha. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;mass dance was very fun also. it was the first time i actually enjoyed a mass dance session la. during my orientation i wasn't as enthu as i was now. haha watching other people dance during mass dance sessions also quite amusing and self entertaining. but never mind i shall not comment on that haha. i dance party was quite fun too but i dun like standing in front of the idiotic speakers. wah it basically blasted my entire brain out. u can feel the sound waves one le. i listen until headache buay tahan go behind look for people to talk to. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;sian now that orientation is over means school is back. haha i'm still in holiday partying mood la. i'm going to die for the chemistry test next monday and my notes aren't even completed yet. die i'm 5 chapters behind for chemistry and there are only 6 chapters la so idiotic. so much homework. no will. no time. haha but at least i had loads of fun. anyway i think i better go catch up on my sleep. i think i'm still too high to sleep. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;s14 roCks!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span
