Mugging/EOYs

They go hand-in-hand, unfortunately. Firstly, I'd like to thank the same guy whom I'm having an MSN conversation with for asking me (FORCING ME) to write this post.

Actually I'm posting this when I'm supposed to be mugging, unfortunately once again. After this I'll probably go finish up the Maths Supp Ex that I really need to complete if I don't want my Maths score to be so pathetically low as compared to the rest of my class. Sad.

On the bright side, once EOYs are over, its slacking time! I probably won't pon school with the excuse of bronchitis but I'll just go there and stone. And stuff. Lol.

On the other hand, Mr 01 people like moi have certain things such as GTC and GTC preparation (TERENCE AND JUNXIANG YOU BETTER NOT FREAKING PON OR YOU DAI) to look forward to (um I mean dread). I just realised that GTC is made from the worst of Night Hike and SUTC.

I have come up with a recipe for GTC.

Item: GTC
Ingredients: Sadistic J1s, suanning manly people, Worst of Night Hike, Worst of SUTC, 5 days to spare.
Preparation: Extract the worst of night hike and SUTC with the method of crystallisation, since night hike and SUTC are mentally unstable. After this, roll the two together and beat well. Pump them as well. Roll them out flat with a rolling pin and make them do inspection. Then, add 5 days to the mixture and stir well. Make them walk well too. Then, put it in the microwave oven for 5 days, followed by rain for 3 days. Serve warm.

Well

First of all I need to thank a small boy from my class who I'm currently talking to on MSN for giving me inspiration to write this post. Due to extreme pressure from him I shall not describe or talk more about his size :D

Can't really think about much to write about, especially since the whole week has been dull and repetitive. Except that today's swimming lesson for PE pwned. It was the first time I actually had a proper swim for like 2 years, so it was kinda refreshing today. And I also realised I forgot how to do freestyle xD

So.

The Irony

Nothing to post now so I'll leave you with this.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more
problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to
life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but
have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered
outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better
things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom,
but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more
computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but
we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are
days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night
stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to
quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and
nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to
you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to
just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going
to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because
that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will
not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious
thoughts in your mind.

Pioneering + Night Hike act

I don't usually post this often but I feel obliged to after a foamy camp on Saturday/Sunday.

Reached BWL at about 7:50.

Talk cock for a while, helped with the poles. After briefing went to start building stuff. Started on the (???)trachsel(???). The whole thing passed in kind of a blur, all I remember throughout the process of tying the ropes and poles is that the Oreos by John were pwnage and so were the soft drinks.

Then we had to erect the structure. Epically failed 2 out of 3 we built. First one went up in the second try. Second one, one of the poles cracked. Third one, one of the lashings came loose and a pole nearly GGed someone on the head.

Then dismantled structure and general clearing of mess. Went back to RI, briefing, shower, SPAM PRICKLY HEAT, refill bottle, prepare for hike etc. Dinner at J8.

Hike started at RPMRT. Basically just walked, walked, walked, break, walk, walk, walk, walk etc. Then we were changing the lyrics to some common songs. "Let's take a break this hike is shit, I really really need your first aid kit" etc. Time passed kinda quickly that way.

Finally reached RI at 2am after 6 hours of hiking. Needless to say, we were all half asleep standing up and our legs were dying. So we went to sleep etc.

Next day had some ossum Macs breakfast with JX and Terence LOL.

If not for the foaminess and the aching legs it actually would be kinda fun :D

Quick post

Just a quick post before I go for tuition =(. Why can't they banish tuition into some far corner of Africa. Life would be so much easier.

Anyway. Results so far have been like shit. Failed CL, barely passed History, but a reasonable but still below average for Maths. I still got 15/20 for poetry test though, so suan everyone who didn't get as high :D

Ok maybe I'll post like 3 times a month or something. That's quite demanding.

And my internet modem is screwed up. Keeps DCing.

EDIT: LOL I FORGOT TO POST ABOUT THE EX-TNS GATHERING

Lol.

Outing was fun. Reached TNS at about 11+. Reached there, saw Marc and some other people. Found Anton at the bookstore so we started to make fun of him (LOLLOLLLLLOLOOOOLOLOLLLOL).

Crapped around for a while, talk to people. Everyone looked so freaking different o.0

Went up to the hall, watched the speech, then the dance. The dance was fail, they were dancing to "Nobody" and they were totally rubbish. Anyway, during the Chinese drama club presentation thingy, Reynold decided to be evil to the JLJH and zhao before he could catch up with us since no one wanted him to come for the movie too. Lol. Plan failed. So we went to play soccer, then attempted to meet the teachers, but they entire corridor was like packed with students.

So at like 2 we left for Tampines Mall. Bus 31. Ate at KFC (DAMN NICE) then went to book tickets. Before that we were arguing which one to watch. Then went outside to play truth or dare. Damn retarded. Then the epic moment came.

I FREAKING SAW GERALD CHOA KAI KIT AND HE LOOKS SO............

Weird.

Voice changed, some manly mature deeeeeeeeeeeeeep voice. Specs change, some cool red thing which still looks retarded, but not as fail as the previous one. Emo clothes again. Sigh. People change so much after just a few short months.

Watched "Up", which I guess was ok and sort of touching but not really the sort I'm looking for. I probably can understand the themes of friendship & relationships etc. but doesn't appeal to me lol. Wanted to watch G.I. Joe. After that went home with Dommy, but we stopped at some bubble tea shop and I bought grass jelly because it pwns.

Lol fun.

*END OF EDIT (LOLWUT LONG POST -.-)*

zzz

Something happened to blogger? It looks retarded.

Anyway. Haven't posted for like a while. Lol. Too busy, too bored, too lazy.

The past few weeks have been quite crap. Tests, exhausting 01 acts etc.

LOL SET NEW HIGH SCORE FOR TTC VIVA LA VIDA LOLOLOLOL.

zzz.

The tests were largely ok. Science practical was somewhat easy. Maths too (although I got the last part of the last question wrong -.-)

OK THERE I'VE FREAKING POSTED SO SHUT UP ABOUT ME NOT POSTING KTHXBAI.

Poms

Lol I finally finished the first draft of one of my poems, the narrative.

Took a dang long time to come up with it, even so, its quite miserable and pathetic. Maybe I'll just post the first stanza?

EDIT: I JUST DELETED MY POM BECAUSE ITS SO DAMN EMBARRASSING.

Ok.....

Ok.....

I dunno.

Lots of stupid stuff in the upcoming week. Let's recall.

Monday: English poetry test.

Tuesday: Nothing :DDDDDDD (lol my 7 chins).

Wednesday: Major sadface/angryface/surprised face since there's 2 CCTs and one practical. In one day. Recap - History, Geography, Science Practical.

Thursday: Nothing too

Friday: Submission of English Creative Writing Portfolio - Poetry.

I really don't like poetry. I can't explain. Poetry on its own is fine, I just don't like coming up with poems. It makes my head explode.

(Long awaited?) update

Ok, so I've been under pressure recently to post on this blog. So I am doing it.

For the past few weeks, I don't really feel like posting since I've been doing other stuff.

Anyway, we got back a few tests and I've done ~soso~.

Today, saw that old man sitting at the steps of the MRT station, playing some kind of flute thingy. Again, contemplated whether to give him money, then the light changed, so I crossed the road. Along the way, thought about whether what I had done was right. Next time I'll try to save up and give him money whenever he's there. Feel kind of sorry for him.

Anyway, we got back our marks for our fail history project in which our exhibit looked so....awesome?

2 hours of last minute Andre work > 2 weeks of group work.

Sigh

Fail

Quick post

Hi

Quick post time

This week sucked

Bye

Stop complaining

...

Let's just classify the several groups of people in this world. 

First, theres those who are really good at something, but boast and brag about it and basically be a complete idiot.

Then, theres those who completely suck at something, but they still boast about it like they don't, and basically be even bigger idiots.

Then, theres nice people who are really good at something, but their humble and everyone respects them.

Theres also those who suck at something, but they know they suck and they just get on with life, or try to improve themselves.

Then theres those who are just average who either just keep quiet, or boast.

To me, it's like everyone I know can be classified into one of these six groups.

Rather stupid that my CS/CLE project website is called, imhumble.com (its not up yet :D).

School Holidays

Don't feel like posting much now-a-days. With the threat of H1N1 looming, hanging above like a dark thunderstorm, and MRS LIM LAI CHENG NOT CLOSING THE SCHOOL!

:@

:@

Sigh.

H1N1

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/437803/1/.html 

Look at that BS.

Even though the cases in SG are about 150, and 95% of people who voted on CNA say to EXTEND THE DAMN HOLIDAYS, our dear friend the Health Minister decided for schools to continue as scheduled. :@@@@

Anyway, I've decided to revert back to the old way of typing perfectly (not really perfectly) since I've discovered it really helped a lot in typing my plogs.

Anyway (again) I've completed quite a few of my projects already but there will be the constant nag of studying, mugging....

hay guyz

im back. and ive decided not to bother with posting with kengji style grammer and punctuation.

Danang was kind of ok lah. 80% motorcycles, 19% bicycles and 1% cars.

the trip was kind of disastorous. you'll see why.

Car drivers in Vietnam are srsly crazy. its like one hand on the horn and the other on the gear thingy. epic spam horning. even just coming out of the hotel must horn like xiao.

first day. arrived. foamed in the airport (not really airport. more like "failed attempt to be an airport" airport.) Went to the hotel. Lunch. Sleep until evening. Went to the beach and took random pictures of sunset. Unluckily there was no sun because there were too many clouds.

i just realised that im too into the habit of typing perfectly that im (almost) typing perfectly.

Anyway after taking all sorts of pictures with my fathers new imba 1337 camera, we went back into the hotel. washed up and went for dinner. came back, slept.

next day. after breakfast and shitting and stuff, went to hoi an. srsly hot, a lot more hot and humid than singapore. our original intention was to walk around hoi an and see random stuff. what actually happened was stoning in a cafe for 1 hour because it was so srslysrs hot. didnt have lunch because breakfast was too full lol.

went back to the hotel. washed up, stoned for half an hour, then took a taxi to marble mountain (sounds like marba mountan when the vietnamese say it lol.) walked up the steps to the top, took pictures, went back down again. went back to hotel, stoned, dinner, sleeeeeeeep.

dinner was quite.....interesting. There were 2 eating areas, indoors and outdoors. we were moved to a place outdoors, with the sea breeze and everything. Only problem was, everyone was smoking. we opted to go indoors. we ordered our food. First, the abalone. quite nice. next, the prawns. quite nice. next, the crab. quite nice too. then we waited. and waited. then the waiter came over and said: "im sorry we dont have anymore fish, chicken or beef". 

quite impossible for a restaurant that size to run out of these 3 main foods right?

we had the last plate of  veg, then quickly left. we were all so :@ and D: that our dinner was gone. sigh.

next day. same morning routine which involved me sitting on the toilet reading for about 15 minutes. lol. then took a taxi to ba na mountain, where we were supposed to take a cable car up to the top. the cable car system actually (according to the information provided) set 2 guiness world records for height and length. it was 5 km long and about 1.5km high. quite scary lah.

on the way up it started to rain. it stopped after a while and i continued snapping pictures with my fathers new imba camera. i srsly took infinite bajillion pictures coz its ossumly addicting to spam pics. then it statred to rain even mroe at the top...so much so that they stopped the cable car system. since it was raining, we couldnt take pictures, since the system had stopped, we couldnt go back down.

in other words, we were trapped up there. for about 2 hours. damn sian lah. everyone around was either smoking or stoning. they just unrolled newspapers and picnic mats and started playing cards, while we just stood there, trying to keep away frmo the heavy smoke that hung in the air. once the rain stopped and the car system continued, we took a van further up the mountain, snapped pictures, went back to the cable car station, then rode down.

on the way down, it stopped again. i was like omgwhattheheckishappening. it was srsly damn scary, especially after you've read all those compos about how the cable car stops in mid air....

after a while it continued and i was like HENG SIA. 

we took a taxi back and stoned, dinner, sleep.

Next morning, my father woke me up at 5 to go watch the sunrise, since one of the hotel staff told us that the sun would rise at 5:15. When we left the room at 5:05, the sky was bright. :@. 

We went down to the beach to watch the sun complete its rising. it was already like in the air liao, but extreme bad luck combined with cloudy skies largely prevented us from even seeing the sun. :@

We just stoned for the rest of the day, sleeping and watching TV, drove to the airport, stoned some more for about 2 hours, got on the plane and went back to SG!

Danang

Flying off to Vietnam tomorrow.

Weathers going to be really hot and humid, much like Singapore's, so I'm bracing myself for HEAT.

Will blog more about it when I come back. Won't say when though :D. Keep you guessing.

AC stuff

AC was seriously fun. Really slack camp, basically meaning for the most part we could do anything we wanted between meal times/planned activities. 

For the first day we just set up our sleeping and kitchen tents as well as started work on our gadgets, tables and gateways. We also cooked our own dinner, which consisted of rice, egg, black pepper chicken with onions as well as an epic dessert called creme buerleadfasdfasdfhiausgdifoagsdufoiasdf. The dessert was made with sugar, egg, butter and ice cream. At night, we had night (duh) games. Each person had 2 pegs (clothespegs) pegged to their backs. The aim of the game is for each patrol to attain as many pegs as possible by snatching it from other patrols. Each sec 1 was allowed a maximum of 4 pegs on the back, sec 2s 5, and sec 3s unlimited. If a person ran out of pegs, he had to go to a penalty area for a forfeit until a member of his patrol came to redeem him. Aside from the funness of this activity, the downside was it became incredibly...well quite violent because I was elbowed in the face. Along with the pain, the two extra bonuses were a big bruise and a swell at the bridge of my nose, as well as getting my specs owned.

Second day was the same, pioneering and tying and tying and cooking and eating and sleeping and shitting. Night activities was EA, short for external activity. Each patrol was given a checkpoint clue. Once the patrol had figured out where they were supposed to go, they had to go to that place (not in school, around Raffles Place MRT and Dhoby Ghaut). Once there, the patrol would be given a task clue. It was up to the patrol to decide how they wanted to complete the task. Judging was based on creativity and originality. Quite fun, extremely exhausting. I took a panadol on the way back lol because I had a headache lol.

Third day was exactly the same, with the addition of more rope burns. At night we had Stupid Quiz 2009. Rules are quite long and I won't bother to explain. What matters were that we won :D.

Fourth day. In the morning, after eating breakfast, we ran 2.9 km. Of course, I could exaggerate a bit and say it was 3 km, but I'm feeling honest now and I won't. After the run, we just went back to tying and pioneering again. At night was Festival of Lights. We just had to create as much lights as possible and have some theme/storyline to it. Quite fun, except our safety was fail and we probably got zero. Reason being we had fires next to wooden structures and ropes. We also lit up out tea lights with a gas stove and it was really LOL. Another reason was that we put sparkler dust into a glass jar and lit it with a sparkler. Soon after, the glass (GLASS) jar exploded. 

Fifth day was cleaning up and it sucked. Quite self-explanatory. Then patrol standings for AC were announced and Hawk got 3rd place D:.

OH YES. An epic thing that happened on the second and third night. It rained. 

For the second night, because I was sleeping in the kitchen tent which was open air, I knew about the rain quite quickly. We were all extremely afraid of the rain because firstly, it would mean our kitchen tent would collaspe, and secondly all our stuff would be wet. We stood there bailing out water for about 15 minutes, until a J1 told us to get out since it was a thunderstorm. Meanwhile I went back into the tent to push all the bags further in and attempt to close the flap. This was impossible for two reasons. One, the zip had broken off. Two, the string to hold the flap up was in a dead knot. Translation: half of the entrance was wide open. While I struggled with the flap, the rest of the patrol did a controlled collaspe of the kitchen tent and we ran into the shelter, where we slept for the next 2 hours until about 8am. I forgot to mention the rain occured at 5am in the morning. When we went back to our tents, we found out ALL our stuff was wet. Two simple reasons: the reason above and the fact that the bottom of the tent was not waterproof. 

The third night it rained less heavily, so it was quite ok. We collasped the tent and ran into the shelter. 

The rain was quite expected since it seems that every Annual Camp it rains, turning it into Annual Rain. 

End result of the camp, I've turned multiple dozen shades darker due to prolonged exposure to the sun. aahhhhahahhaha D:

AC

Will be going for Annual Camp tomorrow all the way to Friday. It's going to be (supposedly) a fun camp but after SUTC I am quite skeptical about all 01 camps.

Will blog more about it when I come back, hopefully in one piece.

Another piece of news, the J1s made us bring our thermometers, which shows that the level of alertness is increasing due to the addition of another H1N1 case in Singapore, bringing the total to 5.

Benny you got your wish. Sadly it came during the school holidays.

June Holidays

Not really holidays.

Projects: History, Chinese, CS/CLE, RE and English. A grand (grand!) total of 5 projects for the entire duration of the June Holidays. I would probably have to go to other people's houses lots and lots of times.

Coupled with the fact that Monday will be Annual Camp till Friday, it's going to be fun but doesn't help matters much with my workload.

Anyway, for today and yesterday I foamed to finish the stupid banners and cutting and stuff. Friday was emulsifying spam. Today was painting spam. Had to use turpentine (purtenpine o.0 lolz) to get the paint off me.

Not really holidays.

I still can't think of a title.

Is this blog dead or dying?

I don't really have the time to follow the strict rules set by Benjamin that I have to post once a day because it's quite impossible, taking into consideration the fact that the workload has increased by a lot.

I have a fungus on my leg. Yes it's disgusting and its not mushrooms. It's not really that visible but you can see some bumps and rough surfaces. It is actually growing under my skin and thats seriously disgusting, gross, creepy and scary.

I shall now talk about the miniolympics which I said I would blog about in the next year. Be grateful that I actually remembered.

It was actually quite simple. For each win, the patrol gets 6 points, as opposed to the usual 3 points of the EPL. For each draw, the patrol gets 2 points, also as opposed to the usual 1 point in the EPL. For each loss you get nothing.

Basically each patrol will play a variety of games against each other, such as basketball, soccer, badminton and frisbee. There was also track events.

As usual, due to my pro-ness, we got first :D.

I still can't think of a title.
