CHS NCC AIR r.i.p?

2008-01-26T12:49:00.000+08:00

No doubt, its crumbling, its going to fall, will we be able to stop it? Will we be able to salvage it? That was what was on my mind after Sir Teo talked to us yesterday. There were only 3 names in his mind. Which 3? i dun know. But that 3 will probably be our only hope. The week i wasn't around, total strength 29, current strength 9. This week, 22. Gar Wye, Kenneth Lim, Aw Wei Kun and Sheng Kai fell out even before everything started. Slept the afternoon away at de grandstand, while the rest of us were in the sun, teaching the sec 1s 'homat kehadapan', mastering kekenan and kekiri on the march. Bryan left halfway to attend the initiation mass, that's what i call a valid excuse. The rest of us carried on with PT, and then a run to Ai Tong Primary.

After the run, was close to dismissal alr. At first we had already planned to sing de bdae song for SM warren, however what was supposed to be a happy occasion became a sad one. Sgt Jerrell was collecting air fund. A lot of people nvr bring, with emphasis of 6 people, Gar Wye, Darren Mok, Aw Wei Kun, Kenneth Lim, Peh Sheng Kai and Bryan Seah. It seems to me only Darren Mok and Bryan Seah had a valid excuse. As a Chairman, he is subject to paying stuff for his class, so i can understand the fact that he wasn't able to fork out the $10, Bryan Seah, has the problem i use to have. Only given a fixed amount of money for a month, no reimbursements, if i were to skip recess, i have to. This is the first term of school, naturally there will be a lot of money collection involved, so i can understand why he is so tight on money. For the rest, their excuses aren't acceptable.

A long lecture ensued, lots of scolding, humiliation and punishment for the 6, especially Wei Kun and Kenneth. How did things turn out this way? After all Kenneth was 1 of the stars of PDS before? Well As SM warren said to me before, its all in the mind.

Right now those who still has the drive and goal in NCC will have to work together and make sure this CCA will not crumble in our hands because of the 4. How will things work out? I dunno, its all up to our future CSM to decide, will he unite us once again, or will he just let us crumble? Its up to him, and of course, the people behind him. For everything i gone through the past 2 years, i dun want to see this cca crumble before my eyes.

Bored

hmm..i kinda miss wei kit...aniway here are the pics of de sec 2 camp...and some fire engine stuff i saw today. http://picasaweb.google.com/optimus.interpar <-- here are the pictures.

Sorry bro. I wun be able to attend ur dad's wake nor funeral due to my mum's violent objection. but i'll say what i wanna say to you here.

Stay strong bro, dun brood over it. No amt of tears will bring ur dad to life. accept reality and do ur late father proud. I'm waiting to see you pwn ur class bro.

Sch, camps, sadness, homework

2008-01-12T21:58:00.000+08:00

School has started. i ws welcomed by the school year with duties, n a 5d4n camp at changi, den a very neat pile of homework, a crazy hcl & eng teacher. yea. De camp was ok, but de homework was not.

CCA orientation was yesterday, we were just 8 students away from 100 interested 'buyers' or watever u call it. saw my video..^^ i luv propaganda.

today morning, i recieved an sms frm my bestest best bestie, his father has passed away in his sleep after a long battle with cancer. For the last 8 years when we were frens, i never saw his dad before, i never ever though that my first n last time seeing his dad will be when he is in his coffin. Hope i will be able to make it to the cremation on wednesday.

buddy, if u r reading this, just try to stop those tears from flowing, cos no amt of tears will bring ur dad alive. so just pick urself up n continue with life. i know this sounds harsh n cruel n heartless n inhumane, but let me tell u this, de earth continues rotating on its axis, revolving bout de sun, de sun continues to rise n set. so forget bout de dead (but dun totally forget bout dem) n remember de living. there's still de rest of ur family to take care of. take care dude.

de forecast isn't looking good...

CHS Sec 1 Registration

2007-12-22T16:59:00.000+08:00

Yeps. Yesterday was CHS's Sec 1 Registration. Highlights include smelly burgers, the NCC Air flyer issue and desperate young men rushing to the pri sch side to see to-be Whitley students....

Arrived in sch at 7 in the morning. We were split into groups and assigned our respective duties. Once again, i am the usher, posted at the front porch... Fellow grpmates include Jacob, Javince Xiang Kai n the rest i dunno....lols.

Breakfast was burgers, smelly burgers, serious. My first 1 wasn't dat bad, de second was inedible. As we were doing our usher duty, we gave out NCC air flyers, however we got caught by Hippo... dang the zookeeper shld have kept the hippo in hand, GO BACK TO THE ZOO!!!

At around 10+, Aloysius came down and call ppl go pri sch if dey wan see..ermm...to-be Whitley students, all rushed off, leaving me and xiang kai and some NCC air ppl in uniform dere. No more parents streaming in, so sat down and played handphone games... :D .

Went to the canteen for 2nd duty. Checkpoint duty. Job scope includes checking of items parents bought. Me and Jacob didn't get much 'customers', as a whole grp of NCC Air ppl crowded around us, whole group playing handphone games...

The flyers dat the NCOs given out to the Part Bs were all returned in more or less the same quantity... thanks to dem restocking every other minute...

1200 hours. Left school with the NCOs for lunch. Went to Fairprice first to buy drinks before heading down to the coffee shop to have lunch..

1300 hours. The whole group of us stormed into the Funland Arcade. Staff Sp and i made an amazing discovery, initial d dere costs 50 cents... amazing. The whole group of us played daytona to the maxx, was full of laughter and joy and happiness....lots of flipping....we shud stick to bicycles...

dat's bout all....bye....

i'm bored.

Movieeeeeee.....

2007-12-20T18:44:00.000+08:00

Just came home from GV Bishan. Watched National Treasure : Book Of Secrets with Sgt Major Warren lao ba, elephant and her fren.

Actually we wanted to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks, but....FULL HOUSE. So Sgt Major Warren lao ba and I decided to choose de next earliest movie, National Treasure. Bought 4 tickets. Den lao ba went around being paranoid again:' i think i really need to shit leh....' so i passed him a ticket and he went to the toilet to sit and i was to call him when de other 2 arrived. Not too long after, i received a call from elephant:

"hello, 我到了，你在那里？"

"at the popcorn dere lah'

"i also dere wor"

" dotz i saw u liao lah."

yah dat was our conversation, she as jsutl iek in front of me den still need call me. Yah so i saw her lor. Call lao ba come out of toilet, den we went in to the Cinema le.

National Treasure 2 was a comedy cum thriller in my opinion. It has its fair share of humour from dumb jokes from Riley Poole (Justin Bartha). In the movie he plays the part of the It expert in hacking etc., but has no actual knowledge on treasure hunting, however the Gates family and Abigail, are the contrary.

Ok, stopping the spoiler now. I give all my fingers up for this show, its...worth your time, well at least it was worth mine.

After the movie, me and lao ba went to the 50 cents arcade play daytona to the maxx, lol dam fun.

Later on, he really made a big joke of himself. He recieved a phone call from his parents, calling him to meet at the bus stop at junction 8, lao ba ask which bus stop, after some questioning, he concluded it was the bus stop right outside the MRT station. He continued walking although he passed the bus stop so i enquired. He said, he was to wait at the taxi stand, den i told him a discovery....there are 2 taxi stands, each on the sides of the road... And lao ba made dat surprised face again and was pretty firm it was that taxi stand, so i left...

Today, was a day, full of laughter if i were to describe it...

Signing off,
Pickles.

PDS AI

2007-12-17T18:17:00.000+08:00

Okays. Looks like i wasted another day again. Woke up uber early to go down to HQ NCC to support Wei Kit at his PDS AI graduation ceremony. However, when our entourage of 6 arrived at HQ, it was uncannily silent. And empty too. But we still decided to sign in first. We walked to the Multi Purpose Hall, however we still did not see the performers. We started hesitating about whether to just leave or continue waiting. We went down to the learning corner and just, stoned.

After sometime we decided to walk around, and at that moment we heard people shouting. No wonder we could not see Wei Kit, they were indoors. Wei Kit told us they were going to have a photo taking session, so we went back the the learning corner and waited for time to pass. We expected to hear music in a PDS performance, however there was none, and before we even saw the graduation ceremony, it was over...nice 1. And poor Wei Kit, after attending 2 weeks of this course, was not able to pass, and therefore was denied the PDS AI badge. Sgt Major Warren and us tried negotiating with this ma'am but to no avail. So we decided to head back down to J8 to have lunch...

Poor thing Wei Kit, we feel for you...

Freestyle Drill Performance

2007-12-08T13:23:00.000+08:00

Went down to Amoy Quee Camp today to support Samuel Lee, our only cadet who has completed the Freestyle Drill Course. Today was his graduation parade, and there was also a performance by the cadets.

made my way by MRT to Amoy Quee Camp. I arrived at around 8.00. i was 1 hour early. So i waited for SGT Major warren for approximately 1 hour, before he came along in his father's light green Hyundai matrix. I thought he was going to walk with me down the 5 click route, however his dad offered to drive us through, so i was given a lift in Sgt Major Warren's Father's Green Hyundai Matrix.

We had to exchange our EZ-Link cards for a guest pass. Went down to the parade Square and we got the shock of our lives. there was a LOT of people. Yea, so many dat i can see so many outstanding red chairs. Wei xuan came along and we set down. We though we were very early and will have to watch the rehearsal first. However, only when the whole event ended, we found out it wasn't a rehearsal.

Here is the brief summary of the parade.

6 contingents formed up. A short Graduation Ceremony ensued. A US MSG made an amusing graduation speech. Contingent CLTs collected the Certificates. The performance was carried out. The first Contingent was called War Eagles 1, 2nd was Flying Tigers 1, 3rd was Snap 1, and carried on with War Eagles 2 and so on....

Samuel was in Flying Tigers 1. it was a very good performance, we all enjoyed it pretty much. A friend of mine whom i met at Camp Feast was also performing and was in Flying Tigers 2. Their performances was pretty similar yet different.

After the performance ended, the performers went to the canteen for their refreshments while Sgt major Warren, Wei Xuan and I went to look for Samuel in the canteen. After walking a whole round about, we saw him enjoying a fried chicken wing....

We congratulated Samuel and that's about what happened.

When we were about to leave, we dropped by the logistics department as Wei Xuan wanted to change his beret, cos he burnt 2 holes in it thanks to his iron. We later found out that the logistics department was empty so we decided to go back to the Canteen to request for assistance. So, Wei Xuan went up to a captain, and asked for help, Sgt major, Samuel and i turned away and prepared for the worst...

Luckily, he did not receive a dressing-down but was referred to a CLT and was told that the logistics is closed today and to return on Monday...

We left the camp. On our way out, the familiar Hyundai Matrix drove by. Sgt major went off in the car, Samuel and Wei Xuan accepted a lift down to the bus stop while i carried on with my walk. On my way out i met with my friend i talked about earlier on. We talked about the course before parting. And i met Samuel and Wei Xuan, at the bus stop. lol.

Took a bus down to Yio Chu Kang, had lunch at Macs at J8 before returning home. glad to meet my friend at glad to witness the ceremony.

I still remember calling the Unit last night for people to go down to support Samuel, in the end only Sgt major, Wei Xuan and i was there, what a disappointment....

But I
Don't want claim any stop
They wanna say I'm quitting...(Quitting)
[Chorus] x 2
Squealing off the tyres
skidding to the left and the right...Right
My step on the brakes,
rear vision , mirror to spy...Spy
Engine's over the red degrees
And my
Heart beats as much as I can breathe
But I
Don't want claim any stop
They wanna say I'm quitting...(Quitting)
[Chorus] x 2
(Speedy Speed Boy woa oh woa oh)
(Speed Boy Speed Boy woa oh woa oh)
(Speedy Speed Boy woa oh woa oh)
(Speed Boy Speed Boy woa oh woa oh)
(Night...night)
(Drive...drive)
(Stop...Quitting)
(Boy...Boy...Boy...Boy...Boy...Boy)
Speedy Speed Boy...
(Boy...Boy...Boy...Boy...Boy...Boy)
Running with my car
Running in my dreams every night...Night
Born to overtake
Born to race and to overdrive...Drive

Hello, i am back in Singapore!!. ok now to start blogging.

First was my grandmother's birthday. the same day i went to visit the dentist. The stoopid dentist staff mixed up my appointment time and date and wanted me to change to another appointment.

Nvm about that, finally managed to see the dentist during her dinner break. Checked out my jaw. (My jaw oftens dislocates by itself causing discomfort). She doesn't know what happened to my jaw cos mine is a pretty unique case. AS USUAL. I AM A UNIQUE PERSON DUH.

Ok, left the dental clinic got a referal letter to SGH dental institute. Went to colelct my grandma's bdae cake from Cedele bakery Depot. Mum bought a carrot cake. Not the coffee shop version, its the real cake version. it totally rocks.

Arrived home. After dinner a bdae song. and yeap, ate the bdae cake and that's about it.

Camps

2007-11-11T18:18:00.000+08:00

I finally returned in one piece after enduring through 2 camps in a row, the first being OAL camp, the latter being my 4th NCC Part B Leadership Camp. Let me talk about the former first.

By 7, all the OALs - to - be have already assembled in the school premises. Our OAL journey started with a brief ice-breaker, then we started planning our hike, from Catholic High to our final destination, Changi Coast Adventure Camp. I was in the same group as Johnervan. What we dreaded most happened, our teacher-in-charge was Mr Goh Kee Yong. i wun elaborate about the bad things that happened once we set off, the main point is, it took us about 3 hours to walk from the school to raffles institution, and we played a lot of scissors paper stones, and flipping coins. After numerous ordeals, we arrived at the Singapore post building to have our lunch. i ate with the guys from my class at the food court at the basement. After lunch, we dropped by Fairprice to do some shopping, we bought mentos. glucose is very very important...

We assembled again, and continued our hike, all was smooth till we hit east coast park. Mr goh announce that our team member has become a 'casualty', therefore someone has to carry him, so i did. and i carried him from the start of east coast park, to the end of the park, with short breaks in between. it was a very very tiring experience...later on, more casualties were declared and the going got tougher, but also, we, the tough, got going.

A twist of fate made all our casualties ok and we ran off straight to CCAC, we arrived there at 8pm. it took us 12 hours to get there, we were the last grp to arrive.

The activities at the OAL camp the next day was fun, we did kayaking, we kayaked on the open seas, endured the cold, got our paddles stolen, paddled with our hands etc. in short, it was sadistic, yet enjoyable experience. the next day was belay school, and before we knew it, our camp was over.

Now for the Leadership camp...

All carrying haversacks, we the part bs assembled in school. Our leadership camp started with a short brief, the camp oic and 2ic for that day was announced, i was Alpha platoon's platoon IC. the camp oic was thor, n 2ic was jared. After attendance taking, a bag check was conducted, all excess items were confiscated, uniform check, i had one problem with my uniform...a loose thread...dammit.

Our punishment? 2 rounds arnd the track in 6 mins, with our belongings. As we ran, things from bags started falling out, there was a big mess, however we stuck as a team, even though we did not meet the time limit, i feel that we tried out best and we had done a good job help one another. After placing our belongings in our bunks, we had our IFC mutuals. we were thought the knowledge, and we were to teach our own platoons on IFC, in our IFC mutual test. I got second...for my IFC test.

Lunch was field cooking, as usual. After lunch, we went to the rifle range, do some air rifle stuff, did some trainfire stuff, yea. lol. then did some arm drills wif our dummy m-16s... very soon, dinner was ready, cheer session after dinner, then came the night.

Dat night we had sentry duty. it was a very exciting experience..i and benedict totally pwned. lol. owend the NCOs la, lol really owned sgt min ron...muahaha. we tot we wun become PoWs...however, a dreamy samuel cost my 'life'. i became a PoW, spent the rest of the night at the PoW camp.

Next morning, bfast, unit hierarchy, learn how to plan camp, den lunch, after dat was the medic stuff, fell aslp, rested (NCos let us rest.. :p so nice) taught air syllabus, learn abt this guy called Bernoulli.. den came some drills, pumping, drills, went out to buy dinner, came back, dinner, GSk lecture, cadets' night, supper n debrief.

Today, PT in the morning, GSK test, i got second, a talk on leadership, clean up de bunk, cleared our pumping wif a very fun chain pumping exercise...BREAK CAMP!

Then when i came home, i thought about wat sir anthony said, well, now, getting CSM doesn't really matter anymore although i want it, what matters is the soul, if i were to only get a spec, then i will show the world what this spec can do.

Forgotten

2007-11-03T22:07:00.001+08:00

It all started out as a normal day, until my parents decided to take me out for dinner, they even agreed to bring me to the arcade to play with me after dinner, from that moment i knew it was to good to be true, because previously, they promised the same thing, however they forgotten.

After tuition, i rushed back home, on my way back, i was imagining abt the whale of a time me and my dad would have at the arcade. The dinner was pretty enjoyable, however we never went down to the arcade. it happened the same previously, they forgot. As the minutes passed by about 8, i thought we might go, however when we were still walking around Thomson plaza at 9, i knew they clearly forgotten about their promise to me, again.

It's not that i'm not happy they did not bring me to the arcade, but if they could not fulfil the promise, dun promise, its not hard to say no.

they hardly spare time for me, never. i hope for them to bring me to a local theme park, but that never happens, the best i can expect from them is only a meal. what's more, they dun spare time for me, that's fine, they dun let me spend time with frens either, i have already said the excuse my mum dun let me go, so many times i myself feel embarrassed, however, that's the truth, my mum nvr allows me, till now, i nvr caught a movie with a fren. well, maybe i've got no frens, no frens at all...

Yesterday.

2007-11-03T08:46:00.001+08:00

Haha. Had a good time yesterday. Woke up at 6 to prepare for training. Had a quick breakfast of pastry then put on my No.3 uniform before heading down to school.

Again, people had to be late. Then our opening parade commenced. We were later briefed by Sgt Major Warren on our Sec 3 camp details. Later on we proceeded with drills, yeah, dun remind me of that long hentataki drill. lol. After berhenti. Sgt Min Ron called for the shooting com ppl to go shooting le...wow...time really does pass fast, when u r doing the hentataki drill...

Then we were off to Safra. arrived there punctually. Yea Safra Yishun has not changed much, the GMTS room is crappy, yes crappy. The sand bag was sand wrapped in a trash bag then put into a gunny sack, although crappy it is certainly an improvement from foam and pillows. Yea, my sandbag later was badly screwed and decided to shoot unsupported all the way. Believe it or not, i shoot unsupported better then supported...probably cos of the sand bag....Yea we all didn't shoot really well, the safra system is screwed. And it went into instructor control so many times i can't count. And i just found out, instructor control can be disabled when u go to the main screen and setting up the weapon config again, however, the computer is lagging so much, restarting would be a better choice. Oh, and i later stupidly believe the NCOs instruction to print..when i hit print...it went into instructor console...damnit.

went back home, changed clothes went back to sch, waited very very very very very very very very long for staff Sp and Sgt major warren to be ready and found out there was a whole grp of NCOs joining us for lunch..=) Then after a super duper long lunch, Sgt major, staff Sp and me and Darren and Gary ll went to arcade..yea...i luv inital d although i m not good at it. Yea i spent i think 7 bucks. I also played daytona wif Sgt major warren.. =D. Pretty fun, won staff Sp/Darren but lost Sgt major warren, hmm he is really..a very good...demolition derby driver? lol. Yea that's abt all other then staring at ppl playing intial d, small kids can be uber pro at it, so dun be impatient and challenge a small kid...

That's bout all...yea..bye

'Thank You's

2007-11-01T21:16:00.000+08:00

Wanted to post this up a long time ago...but decided to stop emo-ing first. Well i want to thank Mr Goh, Mr Tan, Staff Daniel, Staff John and many otehr people that supported the Orienteering team. Although we didn't win, but still, i would like to thank them.

Thank Mr Goh for getting us an instructor and keeping faith in our batch despite our many disappointments, Mr Tan, for being our instructor, without him, i guess we might have got lost in Amoy Quee camp, Staff Daniel for training us up in preparation for our Orienteering Competition, making our Orienteering Experience an enjoyable one, and last but not least Staff John for being understanding and letting us go without question for our orienteering training without question everytime halfway through PDS. Sadly, i also had to disappoint Staff Sui Peng for doing badly in my PDS test.

Anyway, even though we lost this competition, i guess it was a well-fought war, blame it on our lack of experience, blame it on the terrain, blame it on the time, blame it on our complacency, but i know we tried our best.

Now, I guess i should focus on my shooting competition, hope i can bring back at least an award to make the NCOs, especially Staff John, make Mr Goh, Mr Teo and Mrs Chua proud of our Part B batch. Let's hope we make them proud this time, let me not screw this one up. Wish me luck...pls...by tagging.

The Yip way of education?

2007-10-28T19:13:00.000+08:00

is merely a dream. Yes, the Yip way of education, is merely a dream. Waking up at 9, start studying at 10, end school ends in 5 hours?

To me, this isn't the way to educate your children. Computer games are not Halo or Counter-Strike, it means educational games like 'The Magic Schoolbus' and 'Freddie Fish' board games doesn't mean Snakes and Ladders or Monopoly, it means Junior Scrabble and maybe Sudoku. Is this what you call leisure, i don't think so.

I dun want my kid to grow up and when asked what games he plays, what are his favourite movies, he answers:' whats a computer game? oh, my favourite movie is the Inconvenient truth.' The education system in Singapore isn't developed overnight, it has been many years already, with the oldest schools being at least 75 years old. The experience of the teachers and the elite of the education has been passed down generation by generation and slowly improved, a student myself, i feel that i have benefited a lot from the education system. Getting your kid to start studying when he is at the age of 2, this reminds me of a very Singaporean phrase, 'dunno how to walk want to fly'. This definitely fits in. The Yip's youngest child can't even use a pair of chopsticks, you are now calling him to differentiate a Rocket and a Space Shuttle?

At the age of 14 and 12, the Yip's eldest son and daughter are sent to Britain to further their studies. Has Dr Yip considered the complexity of the outside world. Does he even worry about he influence out there in the more liberal western countries? Things can happen. Has Dr Yip considered about the well-being of his children in the mental state and not in the academic state? They have been pulled out of school, away from friends and put into a foreign environment.

Has Dr Yip's son and daughter ever done a holiday stint? Probably work at a ice cream store or be a librarian? I dun think so. And he is thinks tat sending his children as an intern to a doctor is more meaningful? Not that i dun think this is not meaningful, however not everyone grows up being able to be a doctor, i feel that Dr Yip is isolating his children in the world of elitists.
When other children grow up, they look for work in the classifieds, slowly making their way up the ladder, with probably no human relations skills, how are Dr Yip's children going to survive? They have always been educated at home, then sent overseas for studies, to Dr Yip, i guess the he wants his children to be geniuses and give a headstart, but does he know that our math standard in Singapore is so far beyond other countries? being educated in Singapore, is already a headstart.

Well, if it were me, i would do my best to let my children enjoy their short childhood before education take their youth away. And during the period of education, all the time can be spared, let me spoil them.

What shld i put here....

2007-10-26T22:32:00.000+08:00

hello everyone..=D!!!..ok i shudn't be smiling. Well we have lost the orienteering comp...we only got 51 points. Really really got thrashed by other schools. There were schools getting 90+ and we only got 51.

Then today i had PDS test. Totally screwed it up, i barely passed it, so i can forget about PDS AI. My score for PDS will come and haunt me forever...

There can't be bad news forever. Top shooter here..muahaha. just have to work on my grouping. And i m happy i did pretty well for this term, hope i do much better next year.

And finally, Stars came to our sch today. There were Felicia Chin, Patricia Mok, 2 Michelle(s), Vivian Lai and Yvonne Lim.

But they were all wearing a lot a lot of make up n we got to see the behind the scenes work of their filming, they were very drama...really, they were very drama in front of the camera. Then, our modern dance performed for them, then i just left for duty.. So many Prefects stone in the auditorium never do duty.. =S. Well...the artistes are nothing but human...and maybe we should really thank the bus driver that brought the stars to us eh.. =D.

ok that's all..signing off..

ARCADE!!!

2007-10-23T16:47:00.000+08:00

it seems dat exams are over n its time to let myself loose...but i hope i dun spend too much. Today went to the arcade. play initial d. level up until level 6...then erms my tuning to the max liao..haha..i dun feel like blogging..blog another day.

Fail.

2007-10-11T18:38:00.000+08:00

Ok, guess what. After my 8 years of education, i just had to fail this english examination. I just failed my poetry and comprehension components. now my only hope is to do well for the composition and summary components. but after looking at how i fared in the poetry and comprehension, i have my doubts. Now let's hope my other subjects did not do as badly as this one and hopefully i will get into a good class, and my life will be smooth from now on...hopefully.

Sungei Buloh Life Science Trip

2007-10-10T20:20:00.000+08:00

Today was marking day to a lot of people. However, to people like Benedict, Wei kit and me, it was a...erm..totally new experience.

I pulled myself out of bed early in the morning, ate a breakfast of bread and ham, and dragged myself to school.

In school, we had an introduction of what we were going to do at sungei buloh, after going through the theory, and having a lunch break at yoshinoya, we set off to sungei buloh.

At sungei buloh, after a boardwalk, we finally arrived at THE BRIDGE... we were supposed to collect pails of water from the 'river'...so we cast our ropes and threw the ropes down. My group managed to discover a technique to collect a whole full pail of water...WOWEE....

After testing the water 3 times for its pH level and temperature. after recording, we went fishing with the pails..unfortunately, we did not manage to fish a single fish out of the whole shoal of half beaks.

Den, we made our way back. We went to the cafe, bought ice-creams and look out at the 'river', just outside the cafe. some of us fed the fishes with fishfood. there were LUOHANS dere!!! haha, den the instructor fed 'em leftover french fries that was left on the table by dunnno who...oops..

Finally, we took a long bus trip bask to school, where we did a few experiments with some of the water we collected before coming back home!!

And also, i set up a deviantart page to display my works, pls visit it:

AWOL Hamster escape, Mr Brown Version

2007-09-23T22:40:00.000+08:00

Good evening all guard duty personnel, i am ur duty orderly sergeant. After the missing rifle incident, we have implemented additional measures for all of u doing the guard duty. First arh, all the duty clerk before u leave the room, must sign and write down the reason for leaving on this piece of paper. 'huh, go pangsai also must write arh.' of course, u might make an unauthorised exit. u write like dat, pte hamster 1, 0436 hours, go pangsai. then when u comeback, u write like dat, 0451 hours, pangsai accomplished. 'huh, dat's all arh' no because when u pangsai arh, u might pass out unauthorised material, so u must call ur duty partner to inspect ur sai.

eh the hamster arh, escape then go orchard road go shopping how arh, aiya die liao lor. no hope lor.

As u know arh, some hamster arh, on guard duty arh, go take his CLAW-21 claw with 5 nails go orchard cine leisure, so now arh, now we kena do the new procedure.

question 1.

Do u have ani girlfren problem.

No! it is different problem. it is u r too hairy and not rich enough problem.

question 2.

do u feel so sad arh, until u feel like taking ur CLAW-21 with nails go orchard?

NO SGT!

ok, tonight u will use the new CLAW-21w assault claw for your guard duty.

WAH NEW GUN ARH. the w stand for what arh?

W stand for wood, ur new weapon for ur guard duty is the blue dummy rifle and u will issue with 5 universal nail. So when u see any intruder, u will take ur CLAW-W and take the 5 universal nail and scratch at him.

sgt, u want to stop enemy by taking wood rifle and saying scratch scratch scratch scratch arh.

yes, and make sure when u return arms arh, make sure u return the same number of universal nails. write down in the arms record book. all these is for ur safety. we dun wan u all to awol with the rifle animore.

Sgt, why our claw got this sting arh *toing* ?

orh, dat one is the new safety measure. it will stretch all the way to the fence form the guardhouse. if u go any further, the string will retract.

eh, and this bell on my CLAW-W is for what arh sgt? *ling ling ling*

So that we will know where u are la stupid.

ok safety measure finish. Today who want to be our orderly? help us da bao food, u can take the light strike vehicle with the mounted GPMG and go to the kitchen to get food for us. I want the colourful colourful hamster food.

Forgotten scent...

2007-09-23T22:34:00.000+08:00

This is part 2.

So i found the Awol hamster and put it back into its cage with gallardo, but once it returned, it attacked gallardo!!! even after a few hours of coaxing, nothing worked, so i sent gallardo to Hamster State Peniterary. He shall have no pension, and a life sentence, his offence? Attacking fellow hamster...

I did some research on its reaction, it seems dat dwarves have short memory and being separated from gallardo for a day, it probably lost its scent, therefore when returning to its home, it automatically registers gallardo as hostile...poor gallardo...lost a fren...

look out for part 3, the edited mr brown show version of the escape (tune in to mr brown show and listen to the awol soldier podcast and u would understand the 3rd part.)

AWOL Hamster

2007-09-23T22:26:00.000+08:00

This is the second time my hamster diablo escaped. so i shall now describe the escape as in the shoes of an AWOL soldier.

At approx 6.30 in the morning, CPL Diablo escaped from camp with his CLAW-21 assault claw. He was suspected to have escaped from a unclosed hatch on the roof of the camp. He rappelled down the shoe shelf and probably hid in the hole near the shoe shelf. He was found at approx 8pm looking hungry and stunned, still carrying the CLAW-21 assault claw.

ok this is more or less what happened ed during his escape, now stay tuned for part 2 on the next post.

Home economics test.

see how badly damaged my rubik's is...

Orienteering Practice

2007-09-08T20:51:00.000+08:00

So tired. Today the Orienteering Team, which is me, went to Pulau Ubin for our practical practice. So i brought along snack bars and sweets that was quickly finished on Ubin.

Part 1.

We took a bumboat down to Ubin. The trip there was pretty smooth, no choppy waters. Once we arrived on shore, we went along down to the information kiosk to get schematic maps and the guide showed us our current location and off we went. We found a little pavilion with a table and benches to start our little briefing. Our instructor Mr Tan then briefed that we will all get a chance to be navigator and pacer during the practice. There will also be a solo practice where u navigate around yourself. After the brief, he passed us our first envelope. The navigator, Joel, pacer, ME... We quickly planned our route to another pavilion down to around the Chek Jawa area, we were supposed to find something that was important to villagers near that Pavilion.

Part 2.

We set off, walking down the route Joel set for us, it was a long walk and we stopped frequently every 300-400m which was kept tracked with my pacing. When we finally reached the pavilion, we still could not find the feature, so we walked on. we also saw a few spitter bugs' 'houses' on the path. We finally spotted a well, however that was not a correct one. So we decided to continue walking down the route as there will be a loop back to the pavilion. Back at the pavilion, we saw a boy on a bike that has been cycling pass us a few times already, it seems that he lost his way, a packet of 旺旺 from Joel calmed him down quite enough. and we continued worrying about why we could not find the feature, after very long thinking, the instructor decided to just reveal the feature to us, it was a well that was super near the pavilion and it was so well hidden we could not spot it. Our mistake, was not confident in ourselves and not stopping at that point to look about than to carry on walking on.

Part 3.

So now off to checkpoint 2. Our next navigator is Yong Hwee and our conscientious pacer, Benedict. The destination they planned, MAMAS. nice name. So we walked down a very long trail and there was Benedict counting aloud, we crossed a few bridges, walked through a few wrong trails, after all the trials and tribulations, we finally arrived at MAMAS. And there we had our little break, we started eating our snacks. First was a boy, now it was a dog. It looked at us with its huge eyes, it looked so pitiful, we were so tempted to feed it our snack bars and chips and other snacks, however our instructor warned us not to, so...sorry doggy. But still, Our dear Yong Hwee kept dropping crumbs of potato chips on the ground, he must have a hole in his cheek or something... SO the dog came along and we ran away from it, and it ..PEE-ed marking the territory around the chips...After this we received our new clue and our Navigator is yours truly and the pacer is Hui Yang, destination? A feature to be found on the summit of Sam Heng Estate.

Part 4.

So we marked our route, we were supposed to bash off the proper road and for the top of the mountain in the middle of some road but i think Hui Yang kinda screwed up his pacing and we stopped at Murai hut. So in the end, we decided to bash up from there, it proved to be useful to go up form there, we'll come to that later. It was a long way up, dangerous too, my blisters on my feet came from the climb, bashing thru branches more or less, we reached our destination, we veered a bit off bearing so we ended at some rocks. Our feature was supposed to be a rock too, but there was supposed to be a picture of a lion spray painted on it, we spotted another rock and we charged there. You know why that place is the summit? The tip of the rock is the highest point of Sam Heng Estate... After that we had a short break again, and our solos were starting real soon.

Part 5.

We all chose our envelopes, opened it and followed the bearings and distances given. Min led me thru those rocks i mentioned above, bashed thru a lot of bushes and branches, and ended up in the middle of this patch mangled branches. Near by was a huge moss covered rock and an unmissable wrinkled old tree. So i decided to mark these down as the features, and from there i proceeded to my second checkpoint. On the way down, i was harrassed by mozzies and all the types of bugs u can name... i had my fair share of wild boar encounters too. totally stoned when i heard them and they just ran past me. Proceeded with my walk and found my self back on the route where i used previously to locate Murai hut. Unable to spot any trees with spray paint or some very prominent feature, i continued downhill, soon i figured i was walking aimlessly and decided to call Benedict and ask how he was going, he had found a few checkpoints but wasn't sure abt it. i felt pretty hopeless by then. suddenly i heard the ruffling of leaves and the breaking of branches, i stoned again cause i thought it was wild boars, but i figured it was too slow, so i sounded a high pitched sound with my throat, and in response was Hui Yang's voice. He was pretty lost too, so we followed our instructor's instruction earlier on to get back ot the summit if u are lost. In the end we met Benedict and Yong Hwee too and we all went back up together and we all figured out that the checkpoints we found were wrong and the more we walked, the more lost we got.

Part 6.

We finally arrived at the summit., only joel was still exploring. we started getting worried so we shouted out his name, soon we decided to go downhill to scout for him. On the way down we finally heard a respond, Joel is coming uphill...what a RELIEF. The instructor then decided to find the checkpoints with us using Yong Hwee's clues (each guy got diff clues). In the end our instructor could not find the features either. After a very long walk, our instructor finally decided to conclude that the pain must have been washed off...

Part 7.

We resume our group practice. Our Navigator was Hui Yang and our pacer was Joel. We were to locate the highest point in Ubin. with the help of the schematic map we found out that it was at Ubin Quarry and we began our trek there. WE found a pretty well paved dirt path there and decided to bash up the hill from there. Once we were up there, it was purely good scenery, the quarry was beautiful, no words can describe the vibrant colours present in the quarry, the water was of the darker tint of turquoise, it had the natural yet unnatural feeling, it was just pure beauty. Up there we took 2 grp photos. After a short time enjoying the scenery up there, we made our downhill climb (reminds me of initial D). When we were down, it was down to the last checkpoint.

Part 8.

Navigator, Benedict, Pacer, Yong Hwee. After the calculations and planning, we found out that the last checkpoint was the starting point, so heading back was easy, just that it was LONG. we walked till our legs hurt, when we smelled the seafood, we knew we were there. Den, we took a bumboat back to mainland, short debrief, boarded our minibus back to school.

This orienteering trip has been a really enjoyable one, the solos really made me realise how important teamwork is, without them, i might have already gotten lost on Ubin.

PB camp!

2007-09-07T19:35:00.000+08:00

Duh, dun bother abt writing abt silver wing, very..erm...slack. BUT...the PB camp was pretty fun.

After the silver wing course, i wasn't very optimistic about the camp. but in the end i still attended it.

Day 1.

The first day was started off with a spider webbie game! The excos had prepared 'spider webs' with rafia stings, they tied it along the corridor. So, we were supposed to travel along the stretch of the corridor and tables and chairs, without our feet or hands on the ground, so dat was the difficulty. Den, the real climax came along when we had to crawl through the webs...and there were THREE of them. still we managed to complete it without having the slowest timing.

Next was the sports marathon. It was this amazing race style treasure hunt. You have to complete these various sports challenges to get a clue to find the treasure. First station my group went was the basketball one...which was a disaster. i was never made for basketball.

Next we played tennis, dat one was pretty easy, did that very quickly.

Next was soccer. we were to kick soccer balls to knock down cones, did that really quickly to, thx to jun liang..wahaha.

Den, off to running a relay, no KICKS.

Lastly, pool, my forte haha. First time i hit, 2 ball go into 2 different hole le. wahaha. Den second time i succesfully managed to slice a ball, den got 3 time dam tyco, hit the ball miss the hole i wanted to hit, but when it rebounded and went into another hole..dam lucky, haha.

But still....we did not win.

Den we play around anything we want, den we went for lunch, ate a lot of ice, boring lecture..den WATER BOMB. a lot to talk abt so wun elaborate le.

Day 2.

Went down to sch at 7, first thing was pt, den we had our breakfast. Ice milo and chicken burger. haha. the burger inside got egg den a lot of ppl bite then the yolk burst. Den we had our lecture, den we had water games! first was this plastic bag thing. the bag got holes, den u must transfer the water from the bag to a pail until full, haha. Next was the fashion show, made fashion with newspapers and water, ZAI lastly was the air raid game we did not get to play. Lunch. break camp. ARCADE!

Went back home to bathe then rushed down to school to meet up with elmo and the others, went down to arcade and had a lot of fun.

First i played D with elmo. we played the first map for both games. He used a honda DC2, i used my Mazda RX-7 FD3S using my initial d card. he was manual, i was auto. owned him, flat. Next we played again, i think this time he used a different variant of the Mazda RX-7 FD3S, i think it was the Bathurst R variant. Was leading all the way until i mistaken a turn and hit a wall and was behind him by 10.5m. rahh! then i played with yong kang, he drive his card de car, it was the same car as me. he play the second map. owned him flat, twice. den we went along to play the basketball game, haha veri fun. den play time crisis, den wasted money on the useless ridge racer...Den i played D with gary again, owned him, he keep blocking me PURPOSELY with his RX-8 la. we playing the first map, he choose de. den in the end still own him. ONLY NOOBS who scared of competition go block other people car lor. Then after owning him i play with elmo...haha...We play akina. i luv it. only today i go play arnd with the gears den i found out dat AUTO CARS CAN GEAR DOWN CANNOT GEAR UP! with this useful piece of new information, akina was o kicks for a no brakes auto FD3S driver like me, owned alemeric with a 500+ m gap. i tried to do the thing many pros do..stopping right in front of the finish line...but still did not stop fast enuff and just went thru the finish line, letting him cover up some gap and my advantage became 400+m. Den we went along around j8 before going back to school for basketball, tennis and home sweet home...

Dinner

2007-09-02T21:12:00.000+08:00

Today was an early celebration for my bdae... So my parents brought us out to Crystal Jade!!! i ate until my stomach bulged...really. Then after payment, we were given free mooncakes...so we decided to use it as my bdae cake..LOL.

So then, we came a long home, poked a few candles into the mooncakes and..dere, a cool bdae mooncake... now for the pictures...well we forgot to take photos inside the restaurant so only photos of the cool cake.

Army Open House / Teachers' Day

2007-08-31T22:10:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, after school, a few of us went down to the Army Open House at SAFTI. We did not get to explore much of it (sad), we just looked around at their display of stationary vehicles, look around in the tentage, played a flight sim, tried carrying a 26kg jetpack and a mortar. Ya, that's all. Then we took a bus back to school. Reached home at around 8. Dam late.

Today, is TEACHERS' DAY. If there are any teachers reading this, HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY. Ya, and it would be cool if you could tag. haha. As usual, prefects missed what was going on in the hall, got used to it already, collected my report book then went down home, changed and came back to school again. Met up with my P6 classmates and visited our only Pri School teacher still teaching in our pri school. After that, i and the rest of 'em went down to Mos for lunch spent a hell lot of money, ya and we saw bishan gay at KFC dat's why we went to MOS. After that, we went down to arcade, i splurged on an INITIAL D CARD. I am quite a noob at the game, but i am a lover of all racing games..what to do? The final thing on our itinerary was going back down to school to play bball, soccer and table tennis, before we all headed home.

2007-08-24T20:41:00.000+08:00

I've known him ever since i was sec 1. I just joined the prefectorial board then. I was new to this board and i hardly knew what to do. it was him and Eugene that taught me the ropes. Now i heard from him dat he would be gone for just helping a fren, dere is nothing but depression in my heart. But i would just like him to know that i think what he did was right, and i would always support him.

And another thing, falling in love is pure ecstasy...

IT project/Orienteering test

2007-08-22T18:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday Brandon, Christopher, Xue Ying, Zhi Wei, Donovan and I went to Ryan's house to do our IT project. While waiting for our dear fishball, zhi wei, we played a bit of basketball..(Ryan has the Basketball net at home!!!) When he finally came, we started. We filmed Ryan dying of an heart attack, filmed me taking chocolates...lol. Den dis very funny thing happened. I was teaching them how to drift with a bicycle.(can only be done during wet weather). So i rode very fast down the slope, drifted neatly into Ryan's house. So Donovan went up next, and my, it was a DISASTER!! He came down the slop, he hesitated and chickened out, deciding to just come to a full stop, unaware of physics of a mountain bike, he just sped down the slope, we heard the skidding, we thought he will drift, however, he just crashed right into Ryan's gate(Ryan's gate was open, he was supposed to turn left in, but did not), and our dear Donovan flew of the bike like a human cannonball. The bike wasn't badly damaged(luckily) only a few scrapes on the brake handle. But Donovan had abrasion on his hand, ouch.

Today, we had our orienteering test. Those who haven't take the test wun get the questions up here..haha, an a reminder to all, Friday dere will be our orienteering practical test, attendance is compulsory!!!

NDP 2007... (school)

2007-08-08T15:14:00.000+08:00

Today was the school-based celebration for NDP '07. To many other students, it might just be a normal day, however for the Uniformed groups and performers is a day of great excitement and...

Forced my self to wake up at 5.50 after recovering from a fever yesterday. Ate bread with ham and Milo...took medicine (tastes super awful..) then wear on my no.3 den go to school. Reached school at dunno what time cos i never wear a watch, fell in.

We had a warm up before the actual parade started, took a sip of water, calmed our nerves for the actual parade. The parade was regular and monotonous, was pretty long but no worries, did not fall asleep, we screwed up our march pass (dun wanna say what happened) and ya, that's abt all.

Went back to fall in area, found out some of us fell in late, we shld have fell in at 6.30...contradictory to what many of us thought...we thought we shld have fallen in at 6.45..oh wells. Everyone knows what happen if u r late right? so there is no need to elaborate..Free ice-cream was given out, couldn't have one cos of my fever...almost fainted at fall-in area lor...just recover from fever..lolz. Then come home do the Geo e-learning. oh ya and lastly, i really hate medicine!!!

Chanced upon this joke from reader's digest.

One day i was trying hard to pry off the child-proof cap from the medicine bottle when my daughter came along and asked:" why are there child-proof caps anyway, kids dun even like medicine."...quite true leh...

Touching Story

2007-08-01T23:17:00.000+08:00

I thought they never existed anymore, but a touching story just appeared in my higher Chinese textbook. So now i am going to summarise and translate the story.

I just set foot home when my wife still under confinement shouted to me that my mum has gone downstairs again. I put on a pair of slippers and dragged myself to the void deck.

My mum has been in the hospital for quite some time. She fell down and broke her leg and now she walk with the aid of a walking stick. My wife and i always tell her to stay at home, however she never heeds our advice. when i arrived at the void deck, i saw my mother sitting on a bench. A girl skipped towards her with a brown paper bag and she passed it to my mum, my mum gave her some money and the girl skipped away, before she left, she told my mum that she would not be able to buy it tml because she would have to go to school. My mum took out what as in the bag, buns. My mum has been craving for buns ever since she left the hospital, however i always forgot. Maybe, in simpler words, i was just plain lazy. My mum saw me, and she dropped the whole bag of buns. The black buns dropped on to the ground, the filling spilling out. i ran up to her and said," stay here mum, i will be right back with buns".

even if the shop was 40 miles away, i would still get it, in tears, i ran.

nice story? well i think its nice...

Dedicated to my friend, Ernest

2007-07-20T21:36:00.000+08:00

Ernest has been my friend since Primary 1. Although we were not very very close friends, a stong friendship was created over the years. Ever since Sec 1 we have been in the same CCA. Earlier this year, during a PT session with NCC land, Ernest hit his leg into something while running. Instead of falling out, he endured. After a checkup with a doctor, he found out that that hit has caused a fracture around his heel/anklebone. Ever since, he needed to be on painkillers. Lately, he has been experiencing spasms.

He enters a spasm,
He yells in pain.
Grabbing his leg,
Violently he shakes.
When he screams,
My heart aches,
His face turns red,
My eyes turns red,
His face tenses,
I feel the ache.
Deep in my heart,
I am yelling in pain,
Seeing him in torment,
I feel the pain.
My throat feels sour,
The tears won't come,
Seeing a friend in torment,
I might just cry again.

Get well soon Ernest, we are still waiting for you to join us, dun give up.

Luv New Balance

2007-07-16T19:41:00.000+08:00

Dunno why, but i just love new balance...

Haix. How i wish i was born 2 year earlier, which is like as old as my godbros. anyone who is not dull can see an obvious difference from the classes fo the past and the classes of now. U see our class, all falling apart, got Pin Xian grp, got Toon Yang grp, got Bryan Seah grp..etc den got all this anti - (someone) kind of thing. if u look at the sec 4s, they are so united lor, they are so devoted to the class dat they even do things like having an aquarium in class, and even making a class t-shirt. If i were to even propose an idea of making a class t-shirt to this class of mine, i think i would be mocked at and my classmates will say that is wasting class fund.

And this class of mine is totally so unhelpful, with the exception of some people like johnervan, who calls me up when i am sick and tells me what they have done (although sometimes he misses a few points), but i am still very thankful to Johnervan and completely pissed off with the rest of the class. A big TY to you Johnervan for helping so much, and u know something, u rock.

Failure..

2007-07-16T18:17:00.000+08:00

Rahhh...i failed a geography test. dat i did not know about cos i was sick and did not go to sch and there was this prefect's investiture going on so i did not even get the last chance to know there was a test. Now i know why i feel like dropping geo and now i know why my godbro regrets taking up pure geo. but still, i got to study hard for geo and get it right so i can get into the stream i want, so i have to go on mugging...

2007-07-13T20:45:00.000+08:00

Is the first day w/o my dear dotter...lol. So the morning started with a sloppy wake-up..to finish up my 'homework'. Den had my breakfast...bread with bananas. I know it sounds weird but that was what I had. Went to school, carrying my school BAGS a dust cover containing my coveted NCC air uniform (my precious) and a plastic bag containing my combat boots. Went for my prefect duty...omg a lot of latecomers today.

School started...fast forward......ok Chinese lesson. Today we meet our new Chinese teacher (actually I met him yesterday), Mr Sun. He is definitely a lenient teacher..very lenient. We had 2 breaks , one of them 5 m ins, the other 10 mins, in a period of 100 mins. and we literally slacked 15m in of the last part of the period off. Teaching today, not much. ok. Then after school. NCC!!! ok changed into my precious. Fell in, did the opening parade proudly, did a little bit of drills before changing into half u and falling in at the armory to collect our mk 4s for our PDS. Den we charged to primary school courtyard for our PDS. i totally luv it.

Next, we had rifle pt. i recovered le, so did not fall out, but i am dam shack. after that, change back to 3 for the closing parade. in the toilet my toenail kena stuck in my sock, pull it out, then my toenail crack, dam pain. so i was late lor...dam late. so we kena pump...70. sorry my frens, did not mean it.

And erms, i would like to thank sgt john la, he praise us today lor, i seriously feel like really encouraged. and i would like to apologise to sgt major warren for us climbing over his head because of his lenience and kindness. i am sorry and we would surely change.

And erms, NCOs please dun be angry, but i would like to share my secrets to not falling out and not ponning training to my fellowcadet mates. Why dun i miss training or fall out? Because i tell myself that i can do better than the current batch of NCOs and bring the unit to higher heights, and to do that, i have to endure through this year first. And i also hope the future batches will become better than one after another, all outshining their seniors.

父亲的责任

看起来，我应该负起父亲的责任了。

Today is my daughter's last day in school already. So i got her a gift... Yes. Ya so i met her after school, and passed the gift to her, in a Bata bag. Then i help her clear up her work area by throwing tonnes of scrap paper into the bin. Then after that i went back to library to collect my bag then met her again. Then after that we tail her to the staff room. Then she was like in front of staff room door saying, 快点走啦，不然我今天 pack 不完的。Her voice was like 酸酸的. Then also her eyes kinda change lor, so i know... Then so i left liao. Haix. Ah Girl ah, dun cry, even though u are a girl u must be strong, if u leave the school, leave with dignity, dun shed a tear, leave with at least your pride still with you, even better, dust your sandals then walk away like Jesus did. Every tear u shed, think about it, you are wasting water, imagine the thirsty African children, so wipe away those tears u thought of shedding and prepare for your new lease of life in Whitley.

寄没有地址得信
这样得情绪有种距离
你放著谁的歌曲
是怎样的心情
能不能说给我听
雨下得好安静
是不是你偷偷在哭泣
幸福真的不容易
在你得背景
有我爱你~ 我可以
陪你去看星星
不用再多说明
我就要和你在一起
我不想又再ㄧ次和你分离
我多麼想每一次的美丽
是因为你情没有地址得信
这样的情绪有种距离
你放著谁得歌曲
是怎样的心情
能不能说给我听
雨下的好安静
是不是你偷偷在哭泣
幸福他真的不容易
在你得背景有我爱你
我可以陪你去看星星
不用多说明我就要和你在一起
我不想又在一次和你分离
我多麼想每一次的美丽
是因为你我可以
陪你去看星星不用再多说明
我就要和你在一起
我不想又再ㄧ次和你分离
我多麼想每一次得美丽是因为你.

2007 SLB investiture

2007-07-11T18:03:00.000+08:00

What can i say, but it was a great success. I luved it. So i was playing host today. OK. that's my duty. Play host to Whitley Sec. Cool! A boy arrived in taxi, he told me there was another 3 more. Ok so i got Gary to move him to the hall while i waited for the other 3. Soon, a boy and 2 girls arrived in a cab. They are finally here. Ushered them to the hall, got them seated and the investiture soon started.

The investiture procedure was quite simple. First, we welcomed in the prefects, welcome the school, welcomed our guests. Then we had this movie about the SLB, is a slide show...and a few interviews after that. Then we witnessed the change of guard. Then we sec 2s and 1s did a catwalk. Recited the pledge, then we returned to our seats. Then, we had a dance performance, the singing of the school song and after that, we cheered 2 cheers. Then i went back to playing host to Whitley sec, brought them to the reception, where we mingled about, eating and joking. After that... i was urged by the 4 Whitley students to give them a school tour... n so..i agreed. Brought them around, om lab, orchestra room, lecture theatrette, canteen, armory, and lots more...the tour ended at the students lounge, where we hung out..for a very long time. Present in the student's lounge was SJI, Nayang, CHIJ, Zhong Hua and a few schools i dunno. Den the Whitley girls started flirting and stuff...lolz. ya then they played with me...literally...PLAYED. ok. then after that they decided to leave, went downstairs to the porch, so coincidentally a cab came in, the passenger alighted and they boarded it, and i closed the door of the cab for them..reminds me of those high-class hotels.

Then i went for the debrief, then went back to the student's lounge to entertain zhong hua, a school i dunno, and CHIJ..played around. met my fren from VS. Ya that's about all. talked a lot with the 2 girls from Zhong Hua, exchanged numbers. Soon they all left. i sent my VS fren and my 2 new found Zhong Hua frens. Got 2 separate cabs for them, literally done the high class hotel thingy again, before heading on my way home, blogging here...

Too bad no pix yet..i see if can get some from elmo.

You Are 34 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

Would You Be a Cool Parent?

You Are a Classic Martini

You area sophisticated drinker, who knows that simple quality is over-rated.
You're a knowledgeable drunk, but sometimes you're a know-it-all when you're blasted.

You should never: Drink and gossip. You tend to forget who's standing right behind you!

Your ideal party: Has a real bartender. But no one mixes a better drink than you.

Your drinking soulmates: those with a Chocolate Martini personality

Your drinking rivals: those with a Margarita Martini personality

Your Kissing Technique Is: Perfect

Your kissing technique is amazing - and you know it.
You have the confidence to make the first move.
And you always seem to know what kissing style is going to work best.
Sometimes you're passionate, sometimes you're a tease. And you're always amazing!

Are You a Good Kisser?

You Are Sunshine

Soothing and calm
You are often held up by others as the ideal
But too much of you, and they'll get burned

You are best known for: your warmth

Your dominant state: connecting

11th batch, NCC Air CHS

2007-06-22T22:29:00.000+08:00

Are we the worst batch? Probably. Thought about it. Will our batch have anything to show off to the juniors when we take over? Only 3 marksmen. All got dq-ed for competition. Most probably will fall back down to Silver Unit. Drills Standard, PT standard, incomparable to the previous batches. Hopefully we would have something to show others our abilities by the time we take over. Got really upset when i saw this:

how to expect a grp of lousy ppl to win something?

i have a strong feeling he is talking abt aero team 07. Even the sergeant we trust most say something like that about us, behind our backs, probably we are that lousy.

Aero reflections

2007-06-22T12:16:00.000+08:00

Reflected on our 2007 aeromodelling failure. I think the main cause of our failure is our overdose of pride. We probably drank too much of it. We were overconfident, but were fed with humble pie when we saw their flying. Far better than us. They had the talent, the training, the tools, the experience. We had, some old engines, half past 6 tools, half past 6 training and our talents not really uncovered yet. What had we to compete with them with? Well our sportsmanship, and we never gave up. I still remembered a few teams had been asked by the circuit marshals if they wanted to give up or continue by the circuit marshals after they crashed, however i heard 1 unanimous response from them without hesitance. From here i commend The CHS aero team. WE will have to work harder this year end. There will always be people there to beat us. We have no experience, we have to get it. No tools, buy it. No training, find the time, no talent, work even harder. Success through a positive mental attitude, we can surely make it to the top. The more the sergeants look down on us, the harder we work, the more the sirs and mam's look down on us, the harder we train, the more the SYFC guys and other competitors look down on us, the more we prove them wrong. This year end, other aero teams will meet the toughest team they have ever met. This year end, we shall not fall. This year end we fly with grace. This year end, we check our pace.

Aeromodelling Competition

2007-06-20T20:03:00.000+08:00

Today is like aeromodelling competition. And we were completely stunned hwen we were there. Got owned. only one word to describe my mood now. Pissed. The SYFC participants breached rules did not get disqualified, our school participant did very slight mistakes and got disqualified. Going back there tomorrow again for the heats 2.

Today after rushing through my indices math homework, I headed for school in my school uniform. At school i met with Kenneth and Chew Hui Yang. Yes, its the same Hui Yang that crashed my wife (see archives). We took a 1 hour long bus ride on service 54 to the Outram Park Interchange. We finally arrived at the Police Cantonment Complex. There we met up with Jared Goh. Then we proceeded to the CNB multi purpose hall for our CIP briefing. At the multi purpose hall we were given a whole lot of things to carry back:

5 backpacks.

3 paper bags full of stuff
