Garfield Walk

The weather's getting chilly these days, it was great to be outdoors with even a faint of sunlight rays. As aunt put it, Melbourne skies always looked cloudy and gloomy at this time of the year but it just wont rain that easily.

Had a long long walk yesterday, 4 hours? 5-6km? Garfield was a nice and peceful town, all quiet, you can even trace a child's cry from the rows of beautiful houses. I visited the bakery for a meat pie and custard tart, $7.20! Of course it had to be tasty! Then went on to the convenience store to see what's on the shelves in this lonely town. I had a pleasant surprise when I got to know that the shopkeeper was from east timor? What are the chances (meeting a chinese or Singaporean is common in AUS) of meeting someone in a faraway place from home, who can converse in 3 different languages that I know of (aside from my family, relatives and some friends) Anyway, bought some Hot Chips (which are thicker & larger Fries) and left with a warmed heart. After walking around the small town for a while, making rounds and turns, deicided to head back from this recce trip. It began to drizzle on the way home and yes I was shivering in the cold until a white lab caught my attention. It just hopped out of one of the bushes and looked at me before darting towards the direction I was heading. Maybe it just wanted to play? (hide & seek) And so it "led" me all the way back to the farm and left after awhile, nice townfolks even the animals were so eager to take you around (I just named the dog Garfield :P).

Very exhausted after the walk, msg'd Adrian about me skipping dinner and off to sleep (its abt 4pm?) Fairly good day of exploration with many things happened, would be better without the rain. Earlier that day, I was mowing grass and doing some simple chores (replacing rat poison and unloading some stuff). Hence I was drained and managed to Zzz in seconds.

Decided to take a break for today, doing some simple household chores and do reasearch on my plans for the next few days. Weekends are coming and I want to visit the main attractions of Melbourne city! Plus, mother's day's coming and I do not want Adrian to fret over entertaining me over mother's day celebration.

Welcome To Melbourne!

Woohoo! Finally! Mel Aus! Touched down 2nd May morning and had a n extremely tiring day because of a couple of reasons.

Spent some time in the airport, around the tourist info booth and finding phone booths to call my aunt (none worked as they don't accept coins, wth right?). End up just skybusing to town and figure out something. Took a walk along Flinders st all the way to Federation sq... with all my luggage (reason) then hop onto the free city tram for 1.5 rounds. Bused to this place called The Pines shopping centre to meet up with aunt to have lunch. After which she drove (thank God!) me around: her house and work place. Lastly to Adrian's house which we took some time to figure out even with the GPS that aunt just bought. It was a vast and beautiful place with some cattles and other animal resisdents (a goat, swallows, wild chickens and spiders). Had a guided tour around the house (including details like where are the spoons and food storage). Had a quick and simple dinner while chatting till lights out. I was exhausted and dozed off after seconds! Did nothing much? Let's trace back abit...

I was on the Emirates flight to Mel the night before where I met this girl, Sam from London who is a lne backpacker and... had a kind of phobia? Don't know if phobia is the word to use but she had horrible past experience flying hence the trauma? Anyway, she sat up all straight, grabbing the front seat and had teary eyes. I can't help but notice her trembling hands holding on to her inhaler while constantly looking around. Even during mid flight terbulance, she would stop whatever she's doing and do mindless clicking on the screen (with shaking hands). We had a chat after she'd calmed down and it surprised me that she's been travelling since Dec 10. Travelling as in no going home, tourist in several countries since DEC 10, thats 5 months with an average of 1 flight trip per months? Given her condition, Respect! Her reason for goin on: meeting strangers and fellow backpackers. I do have to admit I was very nervous about the trip until I met her. I guess this was arranged to motivate myself to "enjoy"my trip. And so.. I end up not having any sleep which brings me back to my first night in Mel. Knock out after staying awake for ~48hours.

Adrian left for work before I woke up this morning. Had some cereals and off to work. Even though its quite chilly in the morning (esp in the suburbs), it becomes a perfect combi when you get yourself under the sun. Raked up the dried leaves, sccop some dung and some cleaning and dumping. Was quite relaxing and I get to plan my day flexibly. Tried to tame the cattles but failed. They weren't shy or afraid of me considering it's my first time with them, almost touched 1 of the cattles but she startled when I opened my palm. It was pretty cool to have them approach me while I just sit there fiddling with my phone.

Awesome days to come I hope, plan to spend the weekends out... erh no, I haven't done any planning, waiting for people to invite me for trips! hah!

Pulau Ubin Trip, traged-ized

Its a very beautiful day, 7 guys went out to play... 1 of them tio owned... I got owned, the rest of the pple: rome, roge, smurf, bryan, boss, Xiaoshen.
Met up at arnd 9am at batok then depart for Changi village, then boat ride to pulau ubin. Rent bike and started our outing. Biked for only 1 to 2 hours... disaster strikers.

I was cycling along this rocky path, hill, slope, wdv... hit on a larger than normal rock... then mayb nv grip properly, nex 2nd on the ground liaoz, with bruised palm, 1 bloody arm. Very dizzy at that moment, any moment i close my eyes, confirm black out. Recovered abit, then rushed over to first aid, at the RP camp nearby. The guy helped me wash the injury at the right elbow... HOLY ***, damn gross and deep cut!!! heart pain nya... Apply some betadine then put a huge plaster on it to last for the day. Thank you RP people for the first aid!

Later at nite, went clinic to dress up the wound and do any other checkup, this is better than mum doin the dressing coz she'll not bear to touch the wound lo. Since i'm still here blogging, means quite ok la, no need stitching. The doc put some artificial skinning on the right arm and jus cover it with waterproof plaster. Game over...

What a day lol, damn unlucky, I kept thinking abt de fan tai shui ting, mayb tis is the one and only inccident i'd meet tis year, the year of horse. Lucky is not that bad, even the doc say very heng, nv tio face or head, nv tio albow tip, no need stitch.

This means no sports, gym, physical stuff till recovery, cant start work! nooooo! On the bright side, no need to wash dishes, hah!

The trip became quite meaningless after the accident but at least got some fun stuffs bah. We visited the legendary chek jawa with 7 habitats, then also this tower with great vista.



On top of the tower, the 3 infront got height phobia

By the eastern coast

Poor arm, the plaster is larger than my handphone lol

fkin awful day :(

Cant believe i've start a new post with complains after not bloggin for so long. Sch's so shittier than usual, jus feel like getting home asap.

Early morning, 1st lessons, econs... got screwed by shengshee... wtf la! She talks fkin rubbish and without even thinking. WTF's with the 'No effort put it' ??? Shyt... i so feel like scolding all the vulgarities now... The thing goes like... lesson begin--->test--->she started scolding--->me,lvn,ys & some others told to stand--->she starts shooting me n lvn--->she picks on us again--->then again--->take out knife--->heat it over a furnace--->stab again--->take out knife--->drenched with some hot chilli oil--->stabs again.... Anyway, jus so freakin buaysong over it coz she's so unreasonable and YET she dun freakin realise it!!! + She scolds like we're retards and crap without even really realise she's too harsh with words! I knew my stand, my side of argument so guess i didnt really take the scoldings to heart. I tink some others abit kan bu kai, she's so demoralizing, like hoping for us to quit sch, Lvn couldnt take it for awhile, freakin pissed off and kept swearing after we sat down.

Here's my stand: my essay is short, yes i know, my handwriting is uber small BTW... not alot of details, yes i know, i always suk in essay writing, even in gp... overall sux, ok, i'll buy that... BUT the fukin unfair thing is that... me, lvn and those others got scolded coz we did the work COMPLETELY on our own, based on understanding from the lessons... the others (not mentioning who) who also handed in the same piece of work didnt get scolded coz they refer to the model answer... The question is: WHOS PUTTIN IN MORE EFFORT BIDC??? AND ITS SO OBVIOUS U DIDNT CHECK THOSE ESSAYS CLOSELY ENOUGH TO NOTICED THEY'RE LIFTED. The problem is not the copying part... its the use of words: NO EFFORT. This is so freakin assd and bullshyt! I wont wanna sabo any1 but i tink all i can do is to write another essay for... ahem, correction, copy from some1 whos not picked on... If she still hav tings to complain... i really bwg with her attitude. Not sad or emo... just frustrated. I tink the world in the future will be liddat... fkin unreasonable boss and stuffs... sigh~ i'll hav to get used to any shit now.

Something on the brighter side... my NAPFA turned out better than expected! Argh but fkin no mood to talk much about it since it happened ytd and the fkin econs class spoiled everyting.
This is 2008 NAPFA results which is a great improvement from the past
2.4 km run: 10.4x (B)
4x10m Shuttle run: 9.9 (A)
Sit-ups: 53 (A)
Standing Board Jump: 247 (B)... Damn close to A!!!
Sit & Reach: 44 (C)... Such a waste, 1cm to B!!!
Pull Ups: 8 (B)
Total: 25 (G)...yay!!!

Today's like cheetah day coz since dinner till now... watching animal planet and switching to other documentary chnls, keep seeing cheetah!!! LOL... now i realised cheetah quite cool, their posture when they lay low and runs. Big Cats rulz! NYA!

MC camp 08

Wee~~~finally the camp is here! After all the planning n preparation for weeks... Friday to Sat, 20 hrs camp.

Before that was A level result release... both happiness and sorrows, PJ results not bad actually, quite a number straight A's de. Congrats to J3s, LOL! felt sorry for those who didnt make it or results not as gd de, some were seen crying, i dun even dare to take photos la, scared they emo then come rip my cam apart. Hmmm, other imp tings include release of A's MT results, got B Merit!!! Yay! think quite gd le la, coz didnt expect better, rmb during the ppr, treat it like some exercise ppr la, didnt really do it seriously :P but here it is... B!

Moving on to the camp, hmmm, total turn up arnd 20... a third of J1s n rest J2s. Starting off, had intro then fun games which was rather successful and most of us get to know each other names, know but not familiar. Sihui very enthu, nice nice, shes like the drive to all the events, thanks da si jie! Well, had bbq after that and I think it was a total failure, mainly coz of the food, too much, ended up throwing em. Felt really really bad abt wasting those food... sigh~

The schedule changed quite abit, no more debrief due to the retarded bbq. After cleaning up, went to bathe then go up to chiill alil in at the 'bunk'. At arnd 2am, me n Haozhao still havin meeting n doin planning for tml, poor her, dun tink she very used to this kinda jobs... staying up late for the 1st time, then have to accept lots of changes. I'm really really sorry for that gal... Hope u understand; mayb can treat this as a trial coz dun tink u've experienced much difficulties in 'work'. Pls dun hate me coz i know u feel fustrated and sad at one time coz i sound abit bossy and demanding, sorry sorry sorry! On the other hand thanks Jes for being the negotiator, that 1 sentence did enlighten her.

Aside from emo stuffs, Day 2, everything went as planned, well... sort of... the 1st part. morning call for every1, i slept like 5mins? Me n Haozhao went all over the sch to set up stations. Then at arnd 9 start the race... Here i shall evaluate each station

1) Human Twister
Was quite successful, the game was simple in the 1st place i tink, anyway hope every1 loves that game... originated from Negi Magi Magister!
2) Mentos wadeva
Supposed to be very simple game, blindfolds and tied legs, bowl of flour and bucket of coins. Only miscalculation is the pepper part... So sorry to all participations... didnt think the pepper cause so much discomfort. Its my idea! My Fault!
3) 3D Spiderweb
This started out to be horizontal web, last minute jus came out with this. Quite challenging i guess, like goin through a infra-red field... nth to evaluate on this.

Lastly, its water games, not really considered a station, mayb a final showdown? Start off with attack or block, abit way off from wad is planned, these people arh... as though must wet some1 then happy, they jus kept moving! Anyway, i was like 40% during tis game, and like getting to the end, 100% wet... Those J2s... Tady(particularly, must get me at all cost), Mai n Sihui... i guess nvm la, since they help set the mood, i cant possibly be pissed off. To get the programs running, proceed on to water bomb! Nth to sae, bombs away! Joined in the fun too, so so very fun that I forgot the time :P Ended like 12+. Had debrief then break camp.

Got bro to pick me up after leaving sch coz was totally beat... although no other casualties, my specs had, got chipped off coz off Guihao's attck, nvm i guess, accidents happen and its not like it'll affect me much. Got home straight away slp then only woke up for dinner...

More importantly, things that i learn through the camp. Being a leader is really not easy, esp when u need to earn respect and trust. Lucky the J1s very steady and also the J2s, quite cooperative. But i'm really really curious to know about every1s honest thoughts abt my performance as camp OIC, anything bad, crappy, shytty, Just tell me! Abt Haozhao's case, think that i'm mostly at fault, didnt put myself into your situation and duno u r so fragile and easily panicked. I'm too much concerned with getting the camp perfect... my bad, i'll rmb this lesson forever: to be in some1 else's shoes. Lastly, I'm glad that i had another perfect memory in PJ as a student, the fun times and people, thank you all of u for making my college dream come true!

Well, thats all for camp, CA's comin up, full force weiwei! Fight-To-OH!!!


Camps always reminds me of this very cute song, Haha! To those who think camps sux and terrible... think twice! Its fun!

Class CIP @ taman jurong CC

Auntie very ON lei!

Kawaii little girl, she dao me!

Come eat

Guys who Dao

Feeling very happy and high today! 2nd Major class CIP in JC, in fact the most enjoyable so far. 15 of the class people including me went to Taman Jurong CC there to help out in a CNY celebration with senior citizens in the constituency. Pioneers asign to distribute some goods, serve food and alos escort the senior citizens who need help in carrying heavy stuffs back home. Also got some pri sch kids and also J1 students from JJ there helping us, majority of em doin ushering.

Day started very very early, had to wake up like 5am... go bustop, wait like 20mins no bus -.-... So early... coz meeting at mac at 6.15 for breakfast, suppose to meet at lakeside at 7.25am. Makan with a bunch of people, including an unexpected guest. After makan, rush to lakeside wer Usha waiting liao, with her red sedan 'direct' us (on the bus) till we reach the CC. Started out moving some dry food, of course i didnt do, not slack, is coz got duty to take pics (actually is la :P)
Fun starts after moving, pioneers were playing around b4 the minister and the senior citizens came. Taking pics, funny poses, crapping... Then later, suddenly all very busy. Some of us (not me) had to escort the oldies back carrying their heavy stuff. I was busy taking pics, also manage to teach Pangpang n Tangwah smth abt photography so that can swap with them every now a then... Always taking very sian, have to do some physical labour too... Then hor, talking to the oldies also very fun, they are socialble and understanding.

When the event gonna end, more pic taking... then we get to take a grp photo with the minister of edu and finance! Mr Tharman... didnt realise he that TALL , he also very friendly! After he left, continue snapping... haha! Then got these little girl, the daugther of a volunteer, so kawaii la! Feel like pinching her cheeks, she sat quietly on the table with the milk bottle, then just let us pose with her...haha, so cooperative! Unlike some adults, see camera then siam away, hate them, make photographers job difficult!

After everything, all zhao back, actually plan to go library to study, then some psed. In the end left me, Ruien, Aizen and Pee... went to JE library which is so crowded, then went home lo. So freaking tired wen reach home, then bro still like kachau me go mop floor ... Abit irritated, coz i've got tons of hw/test preparation to rush and hes like ordering me to go do other stuff! Moreover, hes so damn free lo, can play games, then he do lo... damn pissed off by him la! At that moment I wanted to sms mum to ask if I could live somewer alone till my A levels finish. Somehow this house does not provide a study environment... Zengjie everyday watch Tv... means living room out, then at room so hot, i wan open door, bro will blast his music. Then once in a while, they start to nag... then quarrel for some retarded reasons. Wth la... then complain say i nv do housework, ya... nv do budden bro make the duty roster like super unfair la. Mum told him this year i freaking busy liao, he still arrange the duty till sibei BALANCED, like every1 in the household do the same amnt of work without considering whos the MOST free de lo.

Kuku... now still rushing hw... and preparing for test, hope that chem test not on mon n tues, coz its 'freaking no time sibei busy' days. Anyway, hope ming tian hui geng hao!

P=F/A... Where P>10, F>3 and A=1

This week, wich is like the 2nd since school start is... i dunno, probably tight and pressurising. Stress is the main thing. Monday and tuesday was quite ok, PE was fun, 2.4 got abit crappy compared to last year; badminton was fun, esp with the class!

Wednesday onwards was rather bad... 1st of all, felt very very sick, coz tuesday nite rushing the BJT07 video for presentation the next day... It was also the day that the Exco was announced... rather surprised that i got the CM post... I did mention in the dec holidaes that i wanna be CM coz got enthu'ed up after the China trip. Budden, closing to xmas n new year, began to realise that its quite impossible and i know i'll b very busy. Morever, i know best about my own studies, so obvious that my basic concept sux. Well, on wed, i dunt know wad forced me to accept this post. Somehow, i think this is an opportunity staged out for me, to experience, to experiment and contribute all the plans i had since J1. Guessed because of that, i accepted this heavy responsibility. We had a short meeting after the announcement... then dismissal and off to CCA.

For the next 2 days, i've been feeling quite uneasy... very very uncomfortable, its like some mental torture... Probably coz i've been thinking too much and kinda paranoid. The members of Exco were decided through interviews by MsNg. And of course, the course of the interviews are carried out individually, we all do not know wad posts each of us wants. The main source for the uneasiness comes from the feeling that some people seemed unhappy about the finalised Exco members. Naturally, being chosen as the CM, i felt it most. In defence, i've been very careful of wad i'm doing for the next two days, staying perfect and cool. stress generated from pressure all around... friends, classmates, teachers and cca.

MC needs me to plan for camp and I've onli drafted out the programme, a long report awaits. Next from classmates, somehow i feel the need to do something that exceeds their expectation! Even though its like 2 days, i feel damn stressed, whether i'm doin the correct thing, job scope cleared? Then also, MsNg and the other teachers who knew me, I cant possibly dissapoint them. Then due to this busy and stressed schedule, i've even reject Rome for basketball today, felt damn bad but no choice. It turns out so bad that i've considered many times to quit the posts. Comparing is unavoidable, myself and the other candidates for CM. Are they more suitable for this post? Are there any misunderstandings?

Its no use getting this stressed up, be optimistic! This is wad I always tell myself when anything goes wrong. The problem only lies with myself, why m I so concerned with how people look and think of me. I think my actions will prove and convince them! I know i'm not the outstanding and inspiring speaker type but I know I've many great plans for the class, to bond them and to make it more enjoyable. Then on thursday, after a talk with MsNg after class gathering/lunch felt better, i'm more confident to work on...

Time is required for me to do everything i can. I've chosen this route... cramping myself with lots of responsibilities. I'll do it. This may be the rehearsal for my future life; any1 will face it 1 day and I'm glad i've an opportunity. I always critisized dad about his easy job, signing papers, talk on phone and just supervise... I guess i'm really really wrong. It's like the toughest job on earth, human resource management. Management is like controlling every aspect, u cant focus on only one and if the team goes wrong, u're screwed, hamburgered from top and bottom. Humans have emotions, thats the challanging part, u cant afford to offend them yet u need to gain their respect for u as a leader. Morever, I'm afraid peeps think that i'll slack as CM, not helping out n stuffs, just talk n command... but i guess i'll not stay off my track, i'll still do wad i must do, to supervise, plan and make sure things happening for various posts are running smothly.

Another life lesson for and I think its a important 1 to remember and reflect on. Let's hope 'A' increases so that I wont stand alone, and F decreases; i'll feel relaxed and enjoy my job!

Metro SIF PJC project

Hmmm... been writing all about the Beijing trip, i tink i wanna write also on recent stuffs. There's this Metro for children charity thing and pioneers who sign up suppose to go out to all metro outlets at diff time and date to ask people for donation. Of course i got sign up coz i wanna go Cambodia! Hmm, and i tink CIP is quite meaningful la, all sorts of way, even if the CIP hours kns. S22 was incharge of making sculptured balloons to b given out at the metro booth, and i tink also another class os balloon.

Kinda nervous b4 going for the event coz scared cannot make the balloon or it will like burst while i m makin. Went to internet to research on the various shapes then also ask those class peeps who had done it... Well, quite prepared during the 1st day, know an idea wad to make: dog, bird, bee, swords, bear, flower, bunny hat, heart, swan and pHd hat.

1st day, 15/12/07, Saturday
The location is at Causeway points' Metro. Me n Alvin arrived quite early as planned coz we wanna like warm up the also recap while the previous shift is there. That time still not alot of people, so we were quite relieved. Later after we took over, duno for some reason people start to flood in. I was at the 2nd storey, inside Metro store, near the escalator. Me and Alvin seperate coz balloon making person only got 2 and there are... 2 stalls. Most stupid ting is, i was tending the stall myself, baokaliao... from talking to making balloons and to doin all the voucher giving. The 2nd shift person who is suppose to come and do the tlaking job was late and heard he caught in the rain... KNN, !@$%^&*()_+, i've to do like everything and damn busy lo. Later he freaking late like 5pm+ then come, Alvin was sibei pissed off that he late liao still attitude him, so he came down to my stall and help me. That faggot's partner was a girl who actually came only abit late but did help Alvin at the 3rd storey. The faggot himself was an arshole, late liao still so slack, then wen Alvin damn pissed off n walked away, he didnt even come down to apologize and got the girl to do so. Then i guess they feel abit guilty so came down say wanna look after our stall and ask us to go eat dinner. Of course we went la, heck them lo, they oso nv do anyting de. Went to eat KFC then came bck at around 7pm to continue... Lucky ate quite full coz super busy after dinner, both of us were at the 3rd storey stall, right at the Metro front entrance. People keep walking pass then see wad we were selling... So we kept repeating tings like, " Would u like to donate for charity, any amount will do, we are raising funds for a project to help to poor in Cambodia, u can get this bear or a balloon as a gift" or else its " Hi, you mei you xing qu juan qian, duo shao qian dou ke yi, wo zhai chou kuan, ning ke yi na dao yi ge xiao xiong huo zhe ge qi qiu"... I tink its damn catchy to me liao. Then b4 dinner i've to say more about the gift voucher and also the pursuasion part... so i tink i wan 1.5 CIP hours leh! Anyway, we did the balloons quite fast, taking orders of wad shape n colors, like working in restaurant. At the end of the day, gave out until almost 9pm liao, supposedly 8pm leave. While leaving still got few kids gather so we just gave out those balloons we made for display. Damn tired... seriously, hands and fingers all swollen and painful, my throat oso very dry, muscle ache and many crap.
2nd day, 16/12/07, Sunday
Well, me n Alvin quite confident and more excited now. Coz we reflected on the 1st day and we tink is super fun even though tiring. We arrived abit later than b4 coz no more warm up needed, its more than enuff! Mark and Ivan was in the previous shift so Alvin came early to teach them how to make the balloons. Then later evening shift got 4 girls, all doin the talking job. so its 2 of them at each stall and now i swap with Alvin, i go top n Alvin bottom. I knew its a bad idea actually coz 3rd storey confirm more crowded de, at entrance mah. Very busy even though got help from the 2 girls, they like take orders and i've to make. But... talking alwaes very easy compared to the making... i've to make like super fast to meet the orders. But hor, i love the job, its so fun, making balloons then giving out to those little kids. They are very very very cute, got few catagories: 1 is those stare at the balloon in my hand, like they die die want it. Then some very shy coz dun dare to look at me to ask for shape or color yet run towards me. Then also those drag parents all the way from the stores beside to ask from me. Also got those ask me de, very bravely and some shy shy. Got 1 guy most cool de, he came beside me, nudging n pulled my shirt askin me for 1 balloon. Lol, very very kawaii de la, also wen they got the balloon n while leaving, they'd say thankyou korkor or uncle... -.- i very old meh? Anyway, i still like it wen they smiled n took the balloon they wanted, the expressions like very grateful and happy. Its worth it man! Totally! I dun mind the sore and swollen finger since the kids love it. Their parents also quite appreciate our work. Then also got sell the teddy bear, which is like also any amount. I tink quite not worth to sell, since the bear actually coz $10, then to $2, then now to any amount. The balloon is confirm any amount. Then of course all parents and adults wan the bear but kids wan the balloons. The parents oso tell the kids like, balloon will burst, not worth it while bear better can hand on bag... Ya true la, who wants that lousy balloon except for kids. This oso made me thought of y 21st century kids still like balloons, they should like action figures or like gameboy more... Coz even like pri sch kids wants them and some like sec 1/2 de. Anyway, i love this job, no pay but got allowence of $7. Like wad Alvin said, we most kuiben 1, have to work for jus some imaginary no. of hours, then suffer. Anyway i tink its fine for me la, then hor cool thing is got some1 ask me if wanna work for some events like party or performance. Lol, i gave my hp no. lo, coz got job of course wan la. He test me abit also, like ask me make cheem stuff, 1st penguin then crown, i sae i duno lo... but he quite impressed by the bird i made. Seems like i can b a clown liao. Things are more interesting at 2nd storey, experienced by Alvin, he told me about stuff like got detective working on case, following a girl who stole some $95 bra...

Its only a 2 day CIP, me n Alvin ended out shift today, Gampai with a packet of milk and a bottle of soyabean. Thats it for today, of course bringing home the sore n swollen fingers. However, i really enjoyed myself, even plan to go help nex week budden in Indo liao. So far i tink these 2 daes got raise more than $200! very happy indeed.

WR-Finals, submission day

Finally, after the 6 months of work, its this day that my grp will hand in the Written report for project work. As expected, lots of last minute changes. Main problem - No soft copy... Initially didnt quite rmb need soft copy, but i do faintly thought of saving a soft copy jus incase... budden last nite do editing till like 2am, so jus drop the idea. This morning saw the cd behind shuqing's grp de WR, then abit freaked out... It seems like its all my fault liao, somemore i nv do any backup on the emails or external storages.

Me and Tangwah pont Maths n Econs lect, go library chiong the soft copy... Our solution was.... get some1 from my house to send it over via msn/email, that some1 is... mum. Oh no, i've to use like 20mins to tell her how to send the file over the fone. Coz 1stly no msn, or else the work would hav been done easily. Then 2ndly, outlook express very difficult to use. In the end use attached mail to send. 1st time cannot, which worried me, then 2nd time can liao!!!! HENG arh... We even bought the CD-RW from the sch bk shop then quikly burn n settle everything....

Yep, our reports' finnaly submitted. Me, tangwah n sijin handed in together!!! Banzai!!! Fenru, helped the previous day and she compiled lecture notes for econs... n photocopied for the 3 of us, thats holy sweet! Thanks lots! Mark arh.... i nth to say man, hes not even liek in the grp for this pass few weeks.

Fun things for todae... after the submission, the 3 of us+ spartan+ Andrew hang around at concourse, helping andrew to finish his wr too... Wen past 12noon, we had to stall Leesiah from goin up to the pigeon hole to retrieve the WRs... but, Andrews' grp haven get their cover page signed, so we've to crap(20mins) jus to stop her from goin up. But luckily, all the grps from the s22 managed to submit... Yay!!!

Open (to Pioneers) House Day

PJC Open House 07 totally sux.... poor organizing, publicity is the worst i've ever seen. All my frens sae their juniors duno about tis open house... I also dun see any effort in publicizing, all they do is depend on the pioneers to inform their juniors... SC confirm tio scolded liao.
Anyway, worst thing todae was that i was late for MC, got scolded by the teachers n erh... Jes too stressed up n cried, coz mayb some other pple also late, thought ctmi. Suppose to be 8am, but i cant hear alarm then reach sch at only 9am. So... apologize for all the trouble, Sorry Boss!!! Nothing actually happend after that, i just do what i'm supposed to do lo. Later on CL camp, kinda screwed up too, we late, and missed out 1st part, the cam oso difficult to set up. middle part was fine, only that outside pple very noisy and the doors kept opening. Somemore stupid maisarah for disrupting with the fone, make us so paiseh. Hope the teachers dun scold lo...

More of the Fun stuff bah... 1st event was actually choir singing. Noticed Sam standing behind with his Gay hair... LOL. I enjoyed their singing :D Then theres modern dance and other band performances. events at the hall was damn sad. The pple had to play with themselves. Canteen was no good either, except the ice stick stall i guess. Darwin booth even sell pizzas... then got other cca showcasing stuff, n keller got video gaming booth, cant believe they have to resort to that? Poor ODAC pple playing among themselves too. Concourse was no better i guess, just some pple walking around and glancing at the lousy stage.
Heres some of the pics taken by me fone. zoomed in, so unclear
Here are the erh... not so organised choir? no standardised outfit?

This are peeps from dance, rather short performance, but not bad!

Everything ended at around 3.40pm bah, i just went home... coz bloody json PSed me. Once reached home, jus slp throughout, damn tired.

Pioneer College Day

Its finally collge day, after all the planning, meeting and preparation. It was another busy day as expected. Got up quite early to go to sch, must reach b4 8.30am. Went and prepare all the stuff, double checked, then went for duty. I was assigned (i arranged for that myself :P) to Lt1 and Lt2 for the short film making and cartoon drawing shooting. Took a few shots in between n in the beginning, then sat down ther to listen to the talk. HA!FREE!... didnt stay long anyway, left for the salad making competition at around 10am+. Didnt expect so many guys to turn up for the comp, all girls came. Helped by giving some suggestions and jus talking crap to entertain them. After all those work, didnt win afterall -_-#.

Comes the 2nd part of the days programme, the concert. The crap ting is, its in LT3. So small a theatre to contain that number of pple, kinda stupid planning ther. IF they sae didnt expect so many then dun even threaten to blacklist us if we dunt come!!! The concert's pleasant for the 1st part, the drama, love that guys with the slang and his hua mulan role.*clapz*. The 2nd part sux 80% of the time. The bands dunt sound nice, maybe due to the sound system? The other singer sux, other than that winner'big guy' and the choir president. Proud that hes from BBSS too! They should jus hav a dance competition too, definately will be nicer and more attractive. Its talent time afterall, u dunt jus sing eh? Its damn cramp in ther btw, i jus sat on the steps by the right aisle with the stationed vcam.

Had lunch with the class guys in canteen. They were in Lt4 playing b4 that, mics, lights, and stuffs, lol. Then came the final part, actual college day. Followed the VIP and stuff, taking vids from around the hall. Its tiring, seriously, had to walk around, go infront of stage, kneel down, while stabilizing. On top of that, the hall is Hellhot! all the audience were fanning emselve with the programme booklet. The prize presentation was esp long, so after the 1st part and the imba piano performance, i switched with Jes, at the same time oso recharge cam. She like abit blur wad to do, kanchiong. Ended quite fast as i was inside MC room playing DS. I went out after the others came in, to the concourse. HA! the guest kinda left le, n we( me, jes n Sihui) were hesistating to take the food, Gabriel jus took it for us n tell us dun keqi. Thats my dinner liaoz. Some pastries n the chicken. Managed to pack the food home since i saw the styrofoam boxes lying by the tables. At around 7pm+, i was rushing the others to keep n pack after the debrief, but damn, they like on purpose dun wanna let me leave. Jus walked out lo, then rushed to take the espnly long 176 bus at panjang.

By that time damn tired le, wanna slp asap. Reached home at around 8.50pm, rmb coz heard dad's comin home:D. From around 11pm, i've been working on the blog, trying the blog skin again.Finally! advices from KK, done it afterall. Then managed to study many tings, edit tis n that then preview. Now kinda get a hang of it. working on pics n vids now. So wen tis post appears, ther will be more changes in the future. Preparing for tml's PW meeting, nv prepare anyting, too tired le, Still can tahan till 1pm, tired but cant slp?

Oh~~ my Friday gone!

The day was especially long, i had been pretty much tiring activities all day. 1st ting in the morning, wen i was on bus 963, saw these funny malays... duno if they noe each other, they seem to do the same things,lol. like turing their heads right at the same time!!! So i was kinda wondering if i was still in dreamworld. Of course no. I decided to walked to school from Panjang wen i noticed theres still time.

Early few lessons were more likely same, dull... I dun catch anything during Chemistry tutorial. Chan poh seng was trying to emphasize 'people this, people that, important' ... i heard not phrases but not wad he was referring to. PE was GYM!!! nth special actually, jus amazed by the assisted pull-up machine and the canoeing pull simulator. sch gyms are alwaes smelly btw, but quite huge, sadly the dumb bells n eqps are rusty. The great thing is... i can do 4 pull-ups now!!! from the initial 0 to 4... my gym sessions paid off. (^.^)v Glad abt that and kept doin puu-ups after that.

Following was CT and assembly. Angie showed the clip 'My Dream'. heard it from mum n dad, they kinda love it n urged me to watch. Its kinda touching btw and the handless guy was (0_0) IMBA... sewing n tying knots with feet...awesome! Thanks to dad for bringing me to the live performance months ago. During assembly, one grp of so called 'student leaders' were briefed on the twinning programmed or issit some kind of student exchange programme... Anyway, i seriously wanted to go!!! Somemore its in Beijing, should have not much problems in communication. For that, i decided to work hard for promos m-_-m. i wanna get a good testimonial, definately...

For the later part of the day, had physics and PW. Lol abt stuffs in physics tutorial. we kept arrowing pple to do the qns and like pushing it away from ourselves. Anywae, i understand most stuffs during physics, Great! Pw was nth much, managed to get a interview slot with Doreen. Cool ting is wen Sam brought in tis huge AC, n i mean a real machine AC, but scraped of course. Its kinda dusty n with lots of algae. This inspires my group to create our new game for the project.

Before MC start, a grp of class guys were talking abt sat's salad making crap. deciding for the participants. So we were ther craping for nearly 1 hr, the girls were as usual indecisive. I duno wad happend in the end but i jus care abt the Inital Lee joke! Gags! Photo course was nth spcl, walking around n shooting, mainly preparing for Sat. Worst thing comes after the debrief. Me, jes n baz gathered for another meeting to re-plan stuff for college day. Damn, my dinner delayed, n i didnt get to take my medcine. After tings are settled, i rushed to timah with the guys for dinner, had the curry nice, not bad, with sugar cane. Heard these jokes abt the canoeing guy... Triple LOLs! cant believe such guy exist in canoeing team. Head home on the Cursed 970 bus ( waited for so long for it). Talk with buddy shawn abt some sch, career stuff. Great advise and information from him. Reached home quite late le, then sort of doze off. Forgot abt the report ting to be sent to Jes n Baz b4 10pm :P. Finished the long dae after doin the report. I'm half down wen loggin, the dae exhaust 2/3 of my energy.
