hello world!

army has been pretty fun, minus the route marches, field camps (which encompasses cold and squishy combat rations, the inconveniences of visiting the latrine and difficulties in manoeuvres amidst pitch-black conditions), wearing long four (i.e. long pants and long sleeved shirts), wearing the helmet and having to constantly keep a watch on your rifle. other than that, my section is quite bonded already and the friendships are slowly establishing themselves :)

to all you army noobs out there, a company is like a building. each level is like a platoon. each room is called a section.

i dont really know what to blog about cos i doubt anyone visits this place anymore, especially after a 1 month stagnation. i miss dancing very muchhh

anyway i booked out on friday! played soccer in the afternoon with qingboon's AC friends. it felt super gooood. in camp, we dont get to play soccer cos the sergeants say they are afraid we may injure ourselves. and they say this while they are kicking the ball around. wah lau eh. and this morning i went for some duke university interview! it was very informal and it was quite actually :) i met yongjin to watch protege! i'm a sucker for police/action movies. at night i had some family friend's bday dinner. wah they invited this guy from 'the prata place' and there was free flow of prata and i ate some porkfloss/onion/egg/dunowhat prata and chocolate banana prata....super yummy la.

im so tired im going to sleeeep NIGHT

2007-01-11T10:15:00.000+08:00

the past week has been peppered with nostalgia. i really miss school cos i dont want to grow up and enter the working world. in university it seems so serious because you are more or less studying for what you are going to work as. i went back to school on the first and last day of orientation, just to relive my days as an OGL and as a student. i don't know many j1s, but here are 2 of them

haha nathalie and noelle tan! gym twins with bad time management and with nonsense as their middle names

farhanis! my OG member who is now an OGL! we are sesame street fans
dennet yap. look at her act cool hat
council buddies shiwei and joash :D shiwei's in her pjs hahaha cos of O night
ZHUZHU looking retarded
this is JIAYAN, JIALUNS BROTHER! damn cool cos he recognised me cos jialun has a photo of us on his study desk.

O night was great...the OGL skit was hilarious and the programmes captivated the j1s (i hope). the burning L'Audeamus was cool too:

i went back for CCA feste too to collect some stuff and to watch the juniors perform..they did great. the dance is downloadable here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6zdyw12n4zw

i heard 116 ppl signed up for dance and there were about 45 guys. z0mg. but i trust that linus, terence, narpal, darrell, jiahui and the other dance guys will have fun at auditions haahhaa

anyway recently i also went for some sort of medical attachment with dr koo, who's the head of medical oncology at SGH/NCC(national cancer centre). i felt really compelled to do medicine after this experience cos it made me realise that there's so much more a doctor can do than help to cure people. dr koo said alot of the time people forget that you are actually treating a person as opposed to eradicating an illness. As a doctor, you need a lot of human touch, alot of compassion and love for each and everyone of your patients. also, i realised that he doesn't eat lunch. hahaa. and there were some cases that made me really sad, especially those which involve youths being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

today was MUSICAL day with alicia yik. we watched SOUNDOFMUSIC and the REAL 'my fair lady' and esplanade! it was a mother $78. but of course the company was greattt and im suposed to have an entry for her but i am going to play dota now hahahhaa

oh yes i met fattycatty too! first time ever. and it was funny cos we kept meeting RJ ppl. it was a tuesday and we took advantage of the half price gelare thing HOHO

2007-01-06T19:40:00.000+08:00

hey check this outt .. from jingmin's blog hehehe

Cool Slideshows

2007-01-01T22:35:00.000+08:00

hiii
okkkk mr anon i will um we went to watch death note 2 i think it is quite nice! i like the storyline and the twists even though everything seems rather far-fetched. but its nice detaching yourself from reality once in a while. and trying to imagine a world with a kira. actually its kinda disturbing how someone so bent on justice can turn evil so quickly

after that i went to zhuzhu's church! i was pleasantly surprised to find out that adeline was the committee chair! i realised that there are alot of ppl in school whom you don't expect to be so capable. but what was most remarkable was that the invited pastor was a malay guy who was touched by God when he was 15..he shared his testimonial and the lesson that if you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat first.

on the 31st, i went to church and pastor ong shared about being light and salt of the world. i was quite moved by the sermon because he shared about some of his army experiences; he established himself as a person who refused to do anything wrong even when he was under much peer pressure. there were some funny bits like his sergeant making it a point to allow everyone out of camp on christian holidays like christmas and easter. i hope i can be like him in this upcoming challenge! 13jan here i comeee

my new year was spent, most unfortunately, at home doing university applications. i was supposed to go to church but due to my procrastination ........... :(((((

anyway happy birthday nattt ngoiiii.

and here are pictures from council and class party, both at junli's house : )

2006-12-29T13:42:00.000+08:00

hi guys!

i want to blog but i have nothing to blog about.

i've been busy doing uni apps. My average rate of doing essays is 0.25 essays a day. and i am extremely perplexed by one question for my application to Johns Hopkins.

"Respond to the following, using whatever space and medium you like: If you had a full day with no commitments, no homework, no home responsibilities, and only the money in your pocket, what would you do? where would you go? whom would you take with you?"

I've thought about it, and i can't think of anything. HAAHHAAaaaaa. I thought of drawing, but i dont know what to draw.

these few days, i've been visiting ECP and getting lost, watching the curse of the golden flower which had a very complicated plot (actually not very), and just chilling with my homeys.

today i've a council party and tomorrow i've a class party, both a junli's house. Poor girl hahaha

2006-12-26T12:31:00.000+08:00

this is my family.

kinda explains why im like that now, doesn't it : )hahahhaha

2006-12-25T00:47:00.000+08:00

hi guys as most of you would know i am back!!!!!!

china was alright la. some parts were quite interesting but there were some rather dry tours of random artefacts. but i think its important to visit china cos i dont think we should lose our roots as chinese people, as much as its a cliche. anyway we went to this pro place where there were alot of bargainable counterfeit goods. i think my mum is level 10 bargainer. my father is level 2 only haha. my brother and i are level 0. i bought a fako taghuer watch which dennet stole from me, and fake converse shoes and fake belt etc haha. the food there's cheap too! u can eat like a steamboat dinner for 6 ppl and it will cost 60 bucks , whereas in singapore it would be almost thrice the price! oh btw, china eastern airline suckssssssssssssss no TV LA cannot watch movie

i got baptised on christmas eve! i was really quite excited.... everybody has to give me present twice a year now cos i got born again, ha a ha ha ha ha.

we also had a family christmas party on christmas eve. there was this segment where all the uncles were supposed to read out their pre-prepared poems for their respective wives and it was really sweet and funny :) all were in chinese so i can't give any sample here haha. after that we played games like charades and took retarded pictures. after i get hold of them i shall post them here! then you will know why i'm like that hahaa

merry christmas everyone!!!!! :)

Christmas time is here, decorations appear
Family and friends so dear, come together in christmas cheer
do you know the truth, of the meaning of christmas
its not about trees or gifts, its Jesus Christ the King

Jesus is the reason for the season
Lets remember Him when the candles burn
To our Jesus may everybody turn
Its never too soon, to know that
Its never too late, to learn that
Jesus is, the reason for the season

2006-12-15T23:49:00.000+08:00

BYEBYE GUYS IM GOING TO CHINA FROM 16-22!! :) see you all! i will come back with my china accent and china hiphop moves

2006-12-12T14:06:00.000+08:00

i was playing around with picasa : ) here are some gradnight pics!

and here is the SEXYFRONT video (as requested by terence pek)

2006-12-11T19:27:00.000+08:00

WHEE WHEE WHEE I JUST WENT FOR RYAN'S HIPHOP WORKSHOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ): ) : ): ) : ): ): ): ):) : ):)
it was really so funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn its like a dream come true hahahhaaa. natalie and cheryl were with me...his routine was really quite difficult! but we had so much fun learning itttttttttttttttttttttt

omygutomygutomygutomygutomygutomygut

im so sad i can't go for the bboying one on the 18 and 19th cos i'll be away :( but during one of the breaks he gave me advice on headspin techniques! something about finding the spot on your head haha. and he says he never ever rehearses his famous headflips hahaa..he just practises standing on his head. to strengthen neck muscles i think. and some other girl asked him to demonstrate his elbow spin...really cool tooooo. its all overrr though:( but it really was a great experience. he's really friendly and he's actually some goofy guy hahaa...the two staff of the dance studio lorraine and raj were trying to make him stop talking nonsense cos of time constraints haaha.

i didn't really get to talk much to melody but on the first day she danced beside me for a while and i really couldn't concentrate hahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

i think cheryl wants to change boyfriend already hahahhaa. jkkjkjkjk. ryans really cool and melody's really prettyy woHooooooooooo

anyway i have to busy myself with university applications and essays..they're really annoying. i better get started soon man....

anyway they signed on my shirt and ryan signed on my beanie!!! hahah ryans really funny he was asking us like whether we watched singapore idol and stuff. he told us about the time when he saw paul twohill at fareast...hahaha he's really quite full of nonsense

all the autographed stuff...the free shirt they gave us, the two polaroid photos and my beanie

ryan and melody's message to me :) i made ryan sign twice haha, once on each day

my holy beanie. ryan doesn't really know how to use fabric paint haha

2006-12-08T01:51:00.000+08:00

while everyone is busy uploading gradnight photos (of which i have done partially) i shall not forget my wonderful class that has blessed me with indelible memories : )

noob closet mugger nigel

FRONT ROW GANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trying to do weird things to me

I LOVE 2SO3E!!!! wah lao nigel is really vicious and kengwee looks damn evil haha

2006-12-06T18:40:00.000+08:00

hey gradnight was great! : )

here are some nice picturessss.

me with dance king cat

the noob with his eyes half shut and me

i like this picture! dehui me and jem

SEXYFRONT

MR WONG!!! he was sitting next to me and saying alot of funny things haha

kudos to gradnight committee from the 26ths! ppl like my sister and shiwei!

i think the 1.5 weeks worth of practice for the sexyfront item was well worthit even though it was over in 2.5 minutes :( haha by the way, the idea was stolen from wade robson so dont be surprised to see a similar dance on 'so you think you can dance' later on in the season! : P the solos were simply nervewrecking...but dancing is super fun anyway! i took lotsa photos too! i hope i didn't leave anyone out

the post prom party was really weird. zhuzhu is my official clubbing partner. we stood there rather shocked at the dancing and stuff the entire time. goSHhhhh. dennet and alicia were MIA. duno with what : ) there were some rather unpleasant spectacles but i guess it was an eye-opener...

ok i'll continue later or something my sister wants to use!

2006-12-04T21:12:00.000+08:00

hey GUYZ! tmr is grad night and im really excited cos we're going to do a group item (me dehui jem and nah) adapted from wade robson! we copied the concept and some moves so hehehhehe. these few days i've been so busy with the dance...i've so little time for anything else. and i've been going to sch alot getting myself dirty dancing at the windy benches.

im proud to announce that im spent $0 on my prom suit. ok la i bought shoes for 180 bucks or so, but its an investment anyway. so its still counted $0! im wearing my dance night t shirt, my uncle's pants, my uncle's blazer, and my father's tie. yeah babies im really good at saving money

oh i went shopping with my cousins on sunday cos i was unfortunately in their car. it was quite an eye-opener helping jingqin to choose her prom dress. with jingmin commenting and stealing her mos burger milk tea. it was quite fun, but i got tired quite quickly. shopping is not my thing. actually, anything that requires the expenditure of money is not my thing.

there was council farewell on wanjun's bday on saturday! simultaneously. so i went for council farewell first and then i went really quite late for wanjun's bday! even though the cab fare was $10, i had fun! : > we watched liverpool trounce wigan which was really quite shocking. and i learnt that champagne is smelly. council farewell was great too...joash didn't go though >=[ but i got to catch up with shiwei : ) and they both gave me this nice reebok shirt that is brown in colour. i likeee

whee im quite excited for tomorrow :)

2006-11-25T03:04:00.000+08:00

As are over!!!!!!!!!!!

ok anyway after the paper we went out as a class and played LAN and watched movie! it was pretty cool that isabelle and nat came to LAN with us : ) after that we watched casino royale. and a few of us didn't know what was going cos they were apparently bankers and terrorists and middlemen. and i didn't really see how they could be linked until randy explained to me. hahaha. its quite confusing but there was this guy who could do free-running really well in the show

i think i should stick to my cartoons. like happy feet.

ANYWAY this entry is supposed to be dedicated to dennet yap hwee shan.

a picture paints a thousand words. therefore, i shall put more pictures so i can write an essay of a few thousand words.

sometimes, she pretends to be hardworking (she took it herself la omy gut)

sometimes, she can be really pretty

sometimes, she tries to be like me, that is, cool.

sometimes, she looks like a sailor.

ok only in this photo.

sometimes, she can be really silly

sometimes, she likes to dance.
sometimes, she likes to dress up like a zombie. with zhuzhu. and hide behind fans.
and most of the time, they bully me. together.

but she has been an important part of my jc life : )

i never knew God could give me such great blessings!

i shall do more thousand word essays for people soon.

there are just so many people i wouldn't have survived JC without and im so sad its coming to an end. boohoo. i hope prom will be fun! hahha dance well zhuzhu

sorry for my disjointed sentences.

haha

2006-11-20T12:24:00.000+08:00

3 MORE PAPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wah laoo i missed the church wedding of jason and esther and SO MANY ex-TFers came back! i saw all the pictures and there was joshua and jonathan! i miss them so much laaaaaaaa GOSHHHHH nvm honghua and genevive are going to have another wedding soon! and i hope everyone will come back again.

ANYWAY im going for RYAN CONFERIDO's hiphop workshop 12-13 dec! or somewhere around there. he's last yr's 'so you think you can dance' finalist in case you noobcakes dont know, and if you dont, you really are a noobcake. yup he's coming to singapore! AND I CANT WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtttttttttttttttttt

2006-10-11T00:57:00.000+08:00

Theres a saying that God never gives us
More burdens than we can bear

And if that's true,
Then God must think
You are very, very strong

Because this surely hasn't been
An easy time for you

I wish there was a way
I could shelter you.

From pain and unhappiness,
Because if there was,
I would.

But all I can really do,
Is be here for you
And keep you in my prayers.

You are a child of God.
He made you.
He loves you
And He will not forsake you.
That I know for sure.

So hang on,
Keep your faith
And know that
You are loved

2006-10-09T21:33:00.000+08:00

im so happy Soyouthinkyoucandance has started again : ))))))) my favourite show la. nigel holt is horribly obnoxious. anyway mugging has started again, much to everyone's dismay. can't seem to get the discipline to study yet. hope i do okay ;(

oh ya this friday is OVERDRIVE! some hiphop competition/performance thing at esplanade, where wade robson is judging and performing i think, im super excited. aiyar i really miss dancing la, hope grad night comes soon so we can put up a good performance. but it means that we'll have to work hard after As and put our heads together to come up with something PHENOMENAL!

ok la i'll go study bye

2006-09-29T00:13:00.000+08:00

schools starting againnnn : (

the past week or so of post-prelim celebrations were rather eventful! one notable event was the FREE TRIP TO NIGHT SAFARI! because denene's father had some cool friend who had these complimentary passes to night safari. inclusive of tram ride!!! if only the meal was included too. i loved the flying squirrel exhibit cos you can really see the flying squirrels glide from one tree to another. they're giant flying squirrels so they're quite big...super cool la. the tram ride led us through alot of deer exhibits. there were also hyenas, and all sorts of funny animals like tapirs and capybaras. it was really fun la especially with the company (JEM RAYNER DENNE ZHU AND ALI), a pity they didn't have dinosaurs.

anyway today was rufus yong's birthday! happy birthday rufus. woof woof.

besides going to the night safari, the rest of the days were either spent dota-ing away at home or going to CCAB to play soccer or tanglin CC to play badminton. all quite fun! nigel's a noob at all of them. including dota.

anyway, i think i've been happier over the past few days : ) thank God! ALRKJG:LKJS:LDF i dont wanna get back prelim results

2006-09-28T23:36:00.001+08:00

2006-09-22T22:28:00.000+08:00

prelims are overr!

anyway..haven't been blogging cos of prelims, i dont think anyway really visits this place anymore. and i dont really visit it myself...brings back lots of memories. haha i started this in secondary school i think. i've changed so much, hopefully for the better.

i've been thinking alot about the past, about how i could have done things better and how God is continually shaping me as a person. alot of the time He has taught me lessons the hard way because of my disobedience..sigh. i dont think its quite right to say i've had a hard life. in fact, i think im so blessed, with a great family and wonderful friends. just that slip-ups happen...and because of them i just forget how lucky i am.

im really unsure about my future...guesss i'll leave it to God. hopefully i can get into local medicine school then i can save the trouble of applying overseas. i still have to take SAT2, and its also quite pointless cos my SAT1 was damn BAD!

anyway..going to play some game nowww see ya

2006-08-01T19:32:00.000+08:00

hey people, sorry for disappearing..i've been busy studying. and some things have happened to me which really suck.

here are some photos of gym comp..

yup..bye.

2006-07-28T00:45:00.000+08:00

hello people : ) yup we won gym! i didn't do good individually...yup screwed up my favourite apparatus...and i got 4th for a few apparatus la. so :( but i'm glad we still won! i have some very impressive videos from the comp...the national team people have improved so much. to think we used to be almost as good as them hahhaa

anyway there isn't much time left to the prelims. i'm really putting alot of presure on myself man....sigh :( anyway i've been listening to mrbrown and its damn funny hahaa. ok this isjust a post to let u know im not dead :)

study for God! :)

be strong!

2006-07-16T23:15:00.000+08:00

GO RJ GYM TEAM MINUS RYAN AND YINJIAOLIAN PLUS MAZLAN AND HE JIAOLIAN!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LETS KICK SOME BUTT THIS YEARRR!

our "swansong" year, according to jem. ha, ha, ha.

things haven't been going too well..but i still care, so cheer uP :D God's always here for youu

anyway recently on sunday my family's been having this fellowship thing at my grandma's place. its pretty cool, kudos to yanrong who started it. its basically us cousins gathering and sharing about something that we are thankful to God for, or something that we would like the rest of us to pray for. today i shared about how i learnt that we shouldn't be so dependent on people for sources of encouragement, assurance or comfort, but on God. people are so fallible and they always have problems themselves...they're never 100% there (but friends like alicia yik are 99.999% there! : ) ) so even though im thankful for my friends for always bothering to listen to my woes...i should start turning to the RIGHT source. that is, the big Daddy up there!

gym comp is this tues and wed...come support if you want to watch us twist and flyyyyy! tuesday dont bother, its only high bars...but wed there is floor vault parallel bars and pommels. yup...comp starts at 11..: )

ok la suwan, i blog so that people will tag la k haha

anyway i just got a new phone! 6233! its liek a better version of my old phone. i lost all my birthday dates cos they were all stored in my old phone. so forgive me if i forget yours :((( unless u read this and msg me right now when your birthday is!! hahaa : ) other than that, i like my new phone yay.

2006-07-03T22:25:00.000+08:00

haha just some random picture to test out blogger's ability to upload pictures! i've always used this programme called picasa and its quite screwed up. the picture's of my cousin and i in the car trip to malaysia during the church camp that we attended this june! i have other unglam pictures taken by my father but i shall not load it up cos they are, as i said, unglam. the council post-investiture party was pretty fun, i'll miss working with this bunch of capable and enthusiastic people. i'm sure the next batch will be able to keep up the good work, and build upon what we have contributed to the school already. and i received the most gorgeous present from my buddy miss shiwei! mr joash went MIA after a while. that dude is very hard to contact. hahaha. here is her present to me! isn't it nice. my buddies rockszzZxx

so schools starting tmr. i had a pretty wasted monday, marred by training. myself with ri boys !!! duno what happened to jem david nahnah. oh but mazlan was there. s j p. the afternoon heat was making me really drowsy and i was really going to doze off while waiting for my turn to get up on the parallel bars. i should get an early night...schools starting tmr! GG X X S JP .com

read below post about rayner's great heroics! [more publicity : D]

sorry

2006-07-01T00:48:00.000+08:00

yay cts are over :)

no more burning the midnight oil trying to regurgitate details about the Kreb's cycle and trying to figure out how the potential divider works!

and the late nights of watching world cup can commence :)

at least for a week or so. but meanwhile, i'll be training hard (or at least trying to) in preparation for gym comp! which is ... in 3 weeks or so i think. hope we win!!

after Cts we celebrated rayers bday! after the math paper , the soccer , gym guys + rama and a few others headed to billy bombers to celebrate! the food wasn't that nice though. after that...we played street soccer at rama's court in thomson. it was really fun :D then at night we met alicia dennet zhuzhu and clarissa for fish and co dinner. WL my money ggxx. but prior to the meeting at fish and co we embarked on this treasure hunt thingy that the girls created.

it was quite amusing cos rayner had to buy a condom at wisma atria. afterwards, we had to go to some lingerie section in isetan...and after that some place in shaw house where rayner had to ask for some salesgirl's number!! then she handed to him a ridiculous clue, which led us to fish and co. i ate some stingray thing there.....okay la. me , nah david shared some refillable passion fruit drink hehehe. drank about 7 or 8 cups heheh.

today i woke up at like 12! then i wasted my time by playing computer and piano a while. then i went to shop for my new bag and slippers! and had yami yoghurt and counted the number of RJ ppl we saw. i lost the bet boo

i overreact, im sorry :(

hi denne if you're reading this expect a surprise hur hur hr: )

2006-06-18T23:13:00.000+08:00

denne sucks more, see so extra. anyway im DEAD for CTs : )

2006-06-12T23:27:00.000+08:00

IM STRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(:(:(:(:(

church camp was great though...i watched battle royale. not something that is very church-campish. the concept is more disturbing than the show itself. its not explicitly gory la, but its still interesting nevertheless. more importantly, the messages were meaningful :) i think the most significant thing i took away was that you dont really have to like everything about a person before you can love the person. loving is a choice :) (im talking about unconditional, agape love)

yup..OFF TO STUDY!! IM DEAD IM DEAD

yay im going to watch cars with my fellow mixed popcorn eater :D

2006-06-07T04:20:00.000+08:00

wah! so cool! haha

2006-06-07T03:47:00.000+08:00

i'll be away at church camp from 7-10th! i was asked to blog before i made my teary farewell across the causeway. haha.

life has been pretty much training and studying. SATs last week was GGXX. i heard the results are coming on before commontests - what a morale booster! this is probably an indication of whether God wants me to study in the US! i dont really feel like leaving singapore, because i'll miss everyone here :( but then again...its a new experience overseas, and it really is a once in a life time chance to live someone else's life and walk in their shoes. it'll be something to ponder about...

i need new fish in my fish tank. my discus just died and now i've 11 tiny fish swimming around. the tank looks quite empty. i wanted to buy batfish but it'll kill all the 11 tiny fish i have :( someone give me ideas on what fish to buy!! although i would like the one who stays in simei..haha

my prospects for june holidays dont look too good.

i realise the holidays are full of 'i want to do this' and 'i want to do that'. but somehow our impeccably planned timetables never seem to materialize. sorry im in a pensive mood now haha

anyway there are lotsa things i wanna do this holidays too. with 1 week gone taken up by SAT mugging, the 3 weeks left to study for 4 subjects seems like a tall order. on top of that there are my almost weekly soccer matches (in some cool church league). there aren't really any specific friends i haven't met up with in a long while and would like to meet. is that bad news? that means either i have no friends or i've drifted...haha. oh yeah..eugene! our TDP group has to meet up sometime...its been a while.

nowadays lezlie_lim QB house boy, nigel, fangwei accompanies me at serene centre to study (our favourite bukit timah rendezvous). i realise i get sian very fast and my backside gets uncomfortable reallly quickly.

at least there's you to take my mind off things once in a while. although you're so busy i guess it means i've to cherish my time with you all the more. now you're slugging away at stuff; wish i could do something to help you to make you less stressed. and i hope i'll grow up and stop complaining about mediocre things...

thanks QB boy, nigel, fangwei, yongjin, kenny, catty, nat, alicia, shiwei, and you for making everything seem, not so bad after all. guess i haven't been talking to alot of my other close friends recently...like ms denene.

anyway i realise i've been rather pessimistic. wish i could be like junli, forever smiley :)

and my sister is in japan! take care u noobcake. buy back all the japanese tidbits for me.

and gym comp is coming up! better train harddddddddddd

i watched xmen today. its NICE! but apparently there was a short clip at the back which i missed, as my noobuddy excitedly emphasised about. cyclops died so early, no kick.

but my company was better la haha : ) goodnight all the noobcakes of the world

2006-05-27T23:25:00.000+08:00

all the ccal camp ppl are backkkkkkkk

yay.

ok shiwei u can tag now ahhaa

ok la im not so cheapo..um for the past week i've been trying to study for SATs.

ok im tired byebye haha

2006-05-27T19:05:00.000+08:00

MY SUPER DUPER DANCE COMMITTEE 06 :D minus cat. hahah. dance party was quite fun! but too few people stayed over. OH WELL! anyway....to those in bintan...TAKE CARE : )hahhaa

2006-05-20T01:00:00.000+08:00

i just realised i entitled my blog 'i'm forgiven, are you?'

one of the main reasons why i decided to start blogging was that i wanted to let the world know that christ lives in me. but i think i've let Him down. u know, i used to think i was a good boy. i think most people around me think so too (i hope). after all, a councillor is supposed to be exemplary, 'setting a noble example for our fellow students'. but there's so much more to following God's word than abiding by school rules. i was moping for a while about how ashamed i was of what i had done in the past (its not that bad la i guess, but im still unhappy i made such decisions, in my immaturity/rashness), and before i blogged, i realised the title of my blog.

i realised i was forgiven too.

i think its simply remarkable how God gives one chances. u can feel crap about something u did in the past, with your guilty conscience pricking you viciously every minute, but God does forgive. it means, it doesn't matter what u've done, because, you've been given another chance and your sins are being washed away.

take a step back, and marvel at how gracious and wonderful that is : )

anyway,several major events have occurred in my life recently. there was dance night, and today marked the end of my council term, with the 26th students council investiture. the sense of nostalgia was incredible..but i didn't cry la. hahah.as i sat on the chair facing the j1 crowd, i looked back at my council term and i thanked God for all the lessons i've learnt and all the solid friendships i've forged. although i've made a lot of stupid decisions in life, the day i decided to run for council was a right one, beacuse in council, you truly meet different people.

one of the people i have most respect for is junli, our president. she is truly an outstanding leader, but a very different one, say compared to jialun. some leaders command respect through intimidation, and some just have this aura which compells others to accord him or her some form of looking up to. for junli, it is her remarkable amount passion for raffles, and her unbelievable amount of love for her peers, and her amazing selflnessness that makes us all love her as a leader. i cannot express in words how privileged i feel to have a boss, a classmate, and most importantly, a friend like her.

throguhout my term, there were indeed several regrets. but i can't do anything about them now. i have 2 wonderful buddies joash and shiwei to learn from my mistakes. i think they are my perfect ending to my term..they've given me so much joy and encouragement : ) really...i love themm : )

now about dance night...it was such an amazing experience i wish i could live through it over and over and over again. performing for my love ones, after months of gruelling practice was simply exhilarating. it would never have been possibly without the dance night exco, the teachers, the dance ics ( you really have to be brave to be a dance ic..that means i am brave ahhaa).

although the zaki opening item wasn't as successful on saturday due to lack of practice prior to the performance, i thought the item undoubtedly managed to bring up the energy level :) i love doing the 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 etc steps, even though all the j2s were O_O during the learning process. we've definitely come leaps and bounds : ) thank you angie for being in charge of this dance, and stepping up to take over zaki when he was most unfortunately recalled for reservist! think u did a great job of coordinating everything : )

latin :) another favourite. thank you wanjun and jem for painstakingly re-arranging andre's choreography into a sexy masterpiece! although this item took up the most practice, i guess it was worth it :D only 1 of andre's predictions came true. no girls screamed at the backside shaking part, only the body wave part. hahah. thanks meowmeow for being the best partner around! we have the best drops around right. hur hur hur. thanks for the cha-cha walks through the LT. (ok la it never materialised)

i can't believe that movie medley turned out to be such a success : ) everyone thought movie medley was screwed, but we came out strong! must have been stressful for wj, joy and evelyn. to many of us, movie medley was seemingly the dance which had the least priority. but at the last stretch, we practised hard and pulled it off :) i'll never hopping around in oversized yellow raincoats in 'singing in the rain', doing the retarded grease action in 'greased lightning', and prancing around like a fashion disaster in 'fame'. :)))))))

and COMBINED HIPHOP! yayy. im glad many ppl enjoyed this item. im super lucky to have such marvellous individual talents for this batch, with the likes of dehui and narpal. really, u just have to switch on some appropriate music and they can just make up something on the dance floor which never fails to invite gasps of pleasant surprise. and i'm even luckier to have a co-choreographer like cattie who always comes up with whacky ideas and corrects my skewed ones : D we really did it, and proved someone wrong :)hahaha. thank u to ALL THE 22 dancers in the item :) we really brought VT DOWN!!! couldn't have asked for a more wonderful bunch of people to work withh

overall, amarante was 06 was a huge success (at least, in my opinion). through the process, we bonded as a dance club, and created many indelible memories that will forever remain in our hearts.

thank u for all the presents that i received (LIKE THE IPOD CASE WHEEEEE THANKS BRYAN WJ JEM NAH SHAWN CHENWEI), the thank you cards. i truly appreciate them:)))

with dance night and council investiture over, i guess its time to focus on the upcoming gym competition in july. not forgetting the commontests too. sighhh..really gotta get my discipline back.

today, i had quite a lengthy dicussion with alicia and dennet about dating (or predating, rather, right dear? haha), and i realised that i hadn't talked to them seriosuly for such a long time. sometimes i think i must suppress my inner desire to make fun of ppl. cos it either annoys them thoroughly , or it turns them off. then they dont wanna tell you secrets anymore. so i managed to catch up with them :) while trying to shoot sparks across the table :)

to you: thank you for being there for me. i think without you, i'd be one depressed kid :) thanks for giving me something to smile about, and the comforting feeling that at least someone cares.

2006-05-02T01:08:00.000+08:00

by popular request, i shall blog again. for the first time in a few months. i've been mother busy having dance prac...dance night is like 5 days away! but its going to be great :)

i'll give a synopsis of all the items now! but buy the programme booklet pls. cos there's my picture inside.

1.opening - choreographed by zaki( some eccentric malay guy who's choreographing skills are pro)..its really a great item with high energy! and the song is very happy. all j2s are involved

2.chinese dance tribal dance - cool item choreographed by xinyi...a j1 who's reallyreallyreallygood

3.ok i give up i am sian

the other items i am in are latin, movie medley and combined hiphop. for latin im partnering a noobcake, aka cathrina lee shi ying. who happens to be my co-choreographer of combined hiphop, who happens to be my chingay partner also. wa lao...sian of her already. hahaha

movie medley is really funny..its a combination of the movies fame, grease and singing in the rain. so we'll be dressed up in ancient clothing, prancing on stage to the rhythm of 'greased lightning',and pretending to be john travolta

ok..combined hiphop is going to be GREAT coz its going to be.basically its a hiphop battle between two groups of angsty young teenagers...the title is 'GET IT ON THE FLOOR' WOW so creative

ok...my homework is really dead now. but i'll catchup after dance night. i better. anyway..gym night concluded a few weeks ago. i think it went really well! : ) had a great expreience....ok but dance night will be good too!! yay

2006-03-25T00:54:00.000+08:00

wow! the nice ppl who popped up at my house at the stroke of midnight :D haha. from left: nigel jingqin wynz me chris trevor noobcake fangwei

2006-03-23T21:07:00.000+08:00

yay commontests are over :D im dead la..study so hard still ggxx : (

anyway thank you leslie just denene jem ali cattie and and everyone who wished me happy bdayyy and all the gifts were really unexpected..i thought everyone would rather study than bother to remember my bday..hahah. well it wasn't the greatest of times to celebrate your 18th..but i guess it showed how much i mean to them ha haha. ok la i know i got no friends

anyway this whole week i really studied quite hard laa..but the commontests were so mindboggling. i think there's too little time...u have to be so familiar with your work that u can apply it immediately in the exam hall. and it doesn't help that cat keeps stealing my jacket, coz i have a cool one

anyway today after the chemistry paper i felt lost cos i didn't have anything to do..ah i'll just try to catchup with friends and stuff. and my church is participating in this soccer league! so fun la..anyone interested in playing? sunday afternoons..up till august. i dont think its every week..but if you're interested u can tell me and i'll see if there's still space! i think only got 1 or 2 spaces left : )

anyway ipod video is cool theres like the podcast function then u can download all sorts of funny videos! there's even happy tree friends. and those short clips that pixar makes..those really funy ones. remember? those screened in front of all their films..like toy story, finding nemo. super cute

anyway i hope everyone enjoys this period while it lasts!!! :D remember to do your tutorials. hahahha

2006-03-17T01:27:00.000+08:00

i dont believe it...leslie nigel jingqin wynz chris fangwei trevor came over at 12.00am to surprise me

WAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh first time in my life

thank you allllllll.

thanks for all smss and well wishes:)

i guess one of the purposes of birthdays is to make you realise that you ARE loved.

for once, i do.

i dont believe this happened...hahhaha :)

2006-03-16T23:12:00.000+08:00

the holidays have just been me, my books, dance, ah yoo, leslie and fangwei. the latter 2 have been my study buddies in the bukit timah vicinity..thanks for making studying so much less boring :)

on a brighter note, my father got me an ipod video..i've downloaded several breaking videos and some other comical videos into it..and i've got 1400 songs! all not from my computer:) thanks to ah yoo:) i'll tame the killer nike another time!

oh yeah, my father also got me speakers which have these things called woofers. they're pretty cool cos when a tune from the bass is being played, the whole thing vibrates and u can actually feel tremors. haha i never really asked for all these things..was never really a techno-phile. my father and brother are pretty much different from me..but i benefit anyway. ho ho.

i've been pretty anti-social lately. and quite in a bad mood actually. sigh :( alot of things are messed up now..i think my attitude towards people are quite lousy..i'm very selfish in my actions and everything...like i skipped training to study. sigh...

but at least there's God. but i admit, sometimes i dont remember He's there.which makes me quite..disgruntled.

i need to remember..

and why does it still hurt?

2006-03-10T01:09:00.000+08:00

cts are coming up and im in a horrible state..JC is really insane..the amount of workload is appallingly massive.

GP commontest was ok i think. the essay topic on biotech was free frag. hahah. at least i think it was..i dumped all the molecular genetics related contents on insulin production into the essay. hehehe.

ok anyway...dance is really taking a toll on me. its like we all love to perform..but how can we put up a good performance if we dont put in the effort to work hard? but i knew that last yr, i felt that all our efforts int he preparations were worth it. performing is really quite an exhilarating experience...: ) so i hope all the dancers will persevere with grit and determination and make the crowd happy on may 5,6 : )

nigels bday was on march 8th...we gave him a damn funny present haha, right ah yong XD

anyway o2 was quite fun. much better than last years. i think its got something to do with the fact that j2s are running the show. at least they're rendered more respect. therefore they get things done more effectively. for much of the day, it was free and easy. and i played in the OGL vs teachers soccer match! and we won on penalties! i missed mine. hahaha. and we got a new girl in our og called cheryl..from st nicks.

ok byebye im tired. dance camp is tmr! then march 'hols'. then common tests. what a promising future!

2006-02-25T01:25:00.000+08:00

hi people

im actually enjoying alot of school now, but its the same way as i enjoyed life in RI. fooling around in class, doing all sorts of silly stuff boys do. somehow, the few of us treat the girls in our class as non-existent..haha. girls really complicate matters sometimes..

i guess after school its a different matter. instead of the soccer or gym i always looked forward to in RI, its either dance, training, council work, or school work. there's hardly time to take a breather, and a breather equates to buying a subway cookie, guzzling down a refreshing bowl of chengteng, or buying diluted horlicks. i guess i really want to do well academically, and not let my parents down..but i hope i dont burn out. its really quite stressful being a student in RJ..everyone's so ji hong smart. hahaha

dance is starting to become time-consuming. every week i have 6 practices, 2 for hiphjop, 2 for latin, 1 for movie medley and 1 for the opening item. then theres gym training on mon and wed nights, and occasionally, there's council stuff to do. wa piang..

anyway i made a promise to be christlike! but its so HARD..loving others is rreally really hard. my hot-tempered and impatient nature starts to surface during the teaching of hiphop...today i got ticked off by some complaints and i threw a hat onto the floor...duno what came over me :( must be all the stress.

anywya i had a talk about relationships. i think its realy important that you dont let your girlfriend or boyfriend become your life. firstly, if that happens, everything u do revolves around him/her, which is NOT GOOD. u probbaly like her / him more than she/him likes you. which is not a good thing because you become possessive and u want more time with him or her. then she gets stifled. there's never really a wrong or a right in a relatioonship because alot of it is so ambiguous. there are several couples whom i know are quarrel-free...there's so much built on trust and understanding that its really quite amazing. i guess the most importnat thing is to love your girlfriend/boyfriend in the agape way, that is, loving without expecting anything in return. thats almost an impossible task, but i guess if you can do that, u can safely say you've loved that person with all your heart...even if she breaks yours.

oh yes, and at this age? dont love if you can't let go. which creates a dilemma actually. if you love a person alot and u get attached to him/her, chances are the heartbreak will be really painful.and actually, im not sure if the good times are enough to cover up for the pain during the heartbreak. cos the better the times are, the more painful the heartbreak.

yet, if you dont like a person that much, why should u get attached?

relationships are too complicated. s jp.com.sg. come to think of it, there are adults i know who've been dating since JC. so should one keep fishing for fish in the sea? or should one just wait for a fish to leap out of the water into your arms?

trust God. thats something i have to do.

its over, finally.

2006-02-18T00:01:00.000+08:00

talent time was such a blast! i think everyone put up a really good show..kudos to kwan rui, batch unite committee and the house comm ppl for making it such a hit! friendship week this year is really much better than last years :)

and moor tarbet won! yayyyy cos we had a lot of votes hhahaha. our item was good la. leslie and his noobcake pick up lines

"hey..wanna come over to my house and play some battleship? i can show you my destroyer!"

wa lao eh!

jerry's singing was good too! and si en and guiyi's dancing. andrea and aaron were just funny la. i'll put up the picture with my house's z'king and z'queen soon XD. yijing and narpal's item was really good also...both are really talented people! but unfortunately our house is richer so...:P the rest of the houses did really well also..all the zking and zqueen nominees are really sporting!

the open category was really fun. dehui put up a great breakdancing item..the bands were really good, and the singers like chenbo and kaiyang were really impressive. and i thought the dance by the class was damn cute.

there was movie under the stars after that..it was quite a good movie. 50 first dates. but it was kinda traumatising for me...bringing back happy memories. or should i say, sad.

nevertheless...i really enjoyed this friendship week! i feel quite loved after all carrying home a packet of goodies, with the main sponsor being my cool dance partner and co choreographer cattie! meow

hello jing4 yu2! how did u find my blog. yes, its jing4 yu2, not jing3yu4.

hi kayleigh..how come your og so happening. haha i didnt' see myself on tv! didn't record it..so paisseh

2006-02-11T23:32:00.000+08:00

sigh. life's gonna become REALLY busy once dance pracs start kicking in. im in 3 items this year and that equates to 6 practices a week. its crazy, especially in a school where you're expected to score 4As and 2 S distinctions.

its been a longggggggggg few month for me. alot of tears, but there definitely were happy moments which distracted me..its quite remarkable how im still functioning now...i've actually thought of giving up everything before but i decided it was stupid.

i dont think many ppl read this anymore since i hardly update anymore. its cos im running away from the past..and i still can't face up to it.

i went for a christian CNY concert today, and there was the song 'do they see Jesus in me' or something like that. it really touched my heart...i need to sing that song more often..i haven't been living a christian life at all. i sucks.

oh something cool happened. dehui asked me to go help his crew perform at CHINABLACK. GGXX a club! so it was my first time inside and it was quite small. it was poly party...and i enjoyed the performance. ahaha...we left quickly after though..the place started getting smoky. yuks. and we got free entry and free coke. yay.

i hope dance night'll be a BLAST!!! 'thanks for all the tags they're very encouraging. haha ya i heard i was on tv during chingay. chingay was relaly quite an experience. only the actual performance is fun. the rehearslas are gross. hhaa juee...coz...I LIKE? i'm too popular to have 1 tagboard :) and thanks anon!

2006-01-28T13:59:00.000+08:00

sorry people, i haven't been updating. the past month has been a month of recuperation, and i have to thank my friends for the sane state i am in now. i guess it was a blessing that orientation was the first week of school, it was the only thing that could momentarily take my mind off the wrenching pain.

sigh. i still haven't gotten over it, and i never knew it would be this painful. i need to focus on God and find hapiness in Him, and not in wordly things. currently im only my happy self in school when i've friends to distract me from the painful flashbacks. but when im alone, tears well up again..

my og has been wonderful, my classmates, dance, gym, orientation, council. JC life is really fun, and even my sister loves it. i hope dance night will be great..this year cat and i will be attempting to choreograph a COOL hiphop item! i hope it'll turn out great..

its CNY, may all of you get much much richer!

i still love you

2006-01-07T22:26:00.000+08:00

my wonderful og, grandly clad in THE BOX. orientation was all i had to distract me from all the sadness of the holidays and reality. i really enjoyed the past 4 days...but now...its back to school, and more ggxx stuff ;'(

2005-12-19T22:15:00.000+08:00

;'(

i can't live on properly anymore..

2005-12-08T22:01:00.000+08:00

qishao :D

2005-12-08T21:30:00.000+08:00

TIME HAS ZOOMED PAST and we are only 3 weeks away from school! so many things have happened since i last blogged!

there was the malaysia trip..then there was grad night, 24th farewell, orientation..so many thingsss! ggxx

the malaysia trip was great! a lot of time spent together with the cousins. and i got to play with adorable qishao who's still as mischievous as ever, and i got to know little megan better too!

when i came back on the 7th, i rushed to gradnight to help out and i took quite a few pictures with the j2s who were dressed up to their nines and looking fabulous! some people looked reallly stunning..and, mingzhen looked cool and he got prom king! jiawen got prom queen but i dont know who she is. and shona got ms congeniality :) so i basically helped out with the vote counting, but the rest of the time was spent hanging around being amused by the performances. mingzhen did this retarded japanese dance.

24th farewell went quite well! i think the games were successful...the 24ths really seemed to enjoy it. it was really quite stressful cos the 24ths and 25ths ddidn't seem to interact much and there were many latecomers so we couldn't start the games proper. but i think in the end everything turned out fine! even the impromptu performance and the jigsaw thingy. but the jigsaw thingy was kinda a disaster cuz when the balloons containing the puzzle pieces got popped , some fell into junli's fish pond T_T ggxx but nevertheless..it was a night of laughter and enjoyment!

oh yessss i got klarbanana as my co-ogl and i think we are gona call our og XANTHUS. an immortal horse given to achilles. SOUNDS GOOD? we wanted k'bxlbm (only we would know what that means hehe) but we decided it was too un-greek and too complicated. im really quite in trouble cos there's SO MANY THINGS GOING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. orientation storyline, orientation dance, church play, chingay, and miscellaneous dance steps from outside classes. i 've to memorise so many thingss ;'(

but at least my life is quite exciting! :) yay thank God

2005-11-30T23:51:00.000+08:00

my life seems so busy, and yet i feel empty inside sometimes. perhaps its got to do with drifting..i've been desperately trying to catch up spiritually these few days..God really gives comfort :)

great friends are also there to lend u their ears whenever u need them. but sometimes they're not there..i think recently i've become overdependent on people. its like, solitude has become something foreign to me. but i read somewhere a moment of solitude is always good. it gives u time to reflect, to thank God for what u have, and to pray for others. like now :)

im leaving for malaysia on the 4th - 7th with my cousins! we're gonna go on this huge bus and its gonna be really really fun. a good break from all the hectic orientation planning, 24th farewell planning, and SAT studying. SATs are really quite gross...its a 3h 45 min paper where u have to read so much. not my forte.

storyline has been relatively interesting. but cruel chengchai has transformed my seemingly okay role of hermes into a 'gay bitch's' role! ;'( so i have to act like that..z0mg. and i have like tonnes of lines..they really ought to have gotten some RP person to play the role.

oh crap do u all realise its 1 month left till school reopens! ggxx!

2005-11-20T22:12:00.000+08:00

i went to the ZOO on thurs with dene and zuzu.haha it was fun! nobody else could make it =( like lesles or rayner.i didn't bring my camera so we used denne's one..haha the pictures are up. but i look gross cos i was tired and grumpy at the end. but we watched all the shows! so it was $15 WELL SPENT. but the last show at the children's playworld was so sucky haha. the sheepdog refused to do what the trainer asked it to do...hahaha.but the rest were cool...i liked the fragile forest alott. the lemurs actually dare to come up close to you and its super cool cos they jump around you and play catching around you. i wanted to see the tree kangaroo but it was pretty elusive...so was the sloth. =(

so for much of the earlier part we were taking pictures with animals and posing in front of them pretending to act like them. very silly. and i duno why zu and dene kept taking pictures with the dustbins..-_- OH YA the otters are super super cute z0mg we were lucky enough to see them eating fish..very cool. and they're very friendly cos if u dangle your arms over the water they'll swim to you cos they'll think you're giving them food. and they make these barking noises. and i saw some super majestic-looking animals like the white tiger and the maned wolf, and even some primate with cool fur. speaking of monkeys..the proboscis monkeys are horribly indecent....go look at the picture denne is the most excited about. oh and i think baboons have the grossest butts around. haha and at the end of our journey denne decided to overcome her personal challenge of taking a picture with a snake wrapped around her! not bad! but she was squealing so its not counted. it was a fun day where i forgot about my troubles! and things im sad about!

on friday was another fun-filled day cos orientation team 0506 went out to sentosa! it was fun cos we played beach soccer and frisbee and dunked people. leslie lim almost lost my spectacles! luckily kevin, or keith found it. yea and after that it rained but it didn't really dampen our mood and we went to harbourfront to eat. :) a day pretty well spent! oh annabelle and i climbed up this scaffolding thingy supporting the coconut tree. quite fun haha

on saturday...we had a sec4 gathering at mrs lim's house!it was very fun catching up and everything. cedric jong raghu hongyue and i met up earlier to navigate our way to paya lebar walk...and cedric almost got us lost with his lousy streetdirectory.com. but it was a fun night! the food was yummy i gorged on lotsa sausages and chicken wings and beef steaks :D

ahh..this past week has been so filled with activity that i haven't had much time to catch a breather. fortunately there was time today to perform the much needed change of fish tank water and hamster cage bedding =) and just relax and think about what the past week has been. sigh i wish every week could just be full of nonsense distracting us from the real world of paperchasing and the fact that our loved ones may be overseas ;'( my fathers birthday is on tuesday and he's leaving the country tomorrow, so we wont get to celebrate his birthday with him. i decided to do the family a favour and make a card-thingy for him. i thought it was quite nice =) i like using oil pastels and water colour...i did this card which says 'dear daddy...even though, mummy loves her handbags, matt loves his soccer balls, ying loves her ipod, and mike loves his maplestory.....we love you the most! happy birthday!' haha quite cool right =) and i drew those items with oil pastels and everything...really fun.

i think we dont show our parents enough gratitude, like we take them for granted. everytime someone sends me home i always show my appreciation in multiple 'thank yous', but i just exit the car without saying a word when my father comes from bukit timah to fetch me at paya lebar. i should make a point to say thank you =)

the next week will be less fun-filled i think, but nevertheless relatively busy! seeeee ya

2005-11-16T20:29:00.000+08:00

these few days have been lazy days..doing nothing much in particular. everyday there has been activities, but none particularly extraordinary.

after church on sunday, i went to my church friend jide's house and we watched kungfu mahjong. its quite funny, but there wasn't much of a kungfu element. and neither did i understand mahjong, but it was relatively entertaining nonetheless. =)

oh! monday was oral presentation. yea it went okay. =) oh after that there was storyline meeting where i discovered i am HERMES, messenger god. the storyline for orientation revolves around greek mythology. and i'll be wearing winged sandals and whatever that makes me look like him. i hope it wont be too embarrassing. annd i duno why they chose me >=[ denene is some weird thing. and junyi is trying to rope in ali and zhu too i think hahah. after that i accompanied catty while she waited for her friend in j8 mos burger. where we did some brainstorming =) after that i went to seeetoh's house! and it was quite late already and they were done with swimmning =( besides eating a HUGE portion of chicken rice, we watched snippets of LOTR in his personal theatre at home! ssooooooo nice

tuesday was a bad bad day. i went to sch to handup I & R. at 1 o clock i became very saddd =( after that there was class outing so i distracted myself a little..we went to orchard to eat food republic, and we watched the exorcism of emily rose. i think its quite a good movie and it isn't all that horrifying. its somewhat a case for christ because it shows that demons exist since its a true story. since there's satan, there's God! its not a BOO scary show but rather a more disturbing one. but i wasn't disturbed cos 'with christ in the vessel i can smile at the storm =)'

today, there was orientation meeting and jive workshop..which was kinda screwed up cos both were ongoing simultaneously. after that we were bored so we went to island creamery. and there was no ? flavour !!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH. the bunch of us who went were leslie joan nick daniel lam..quite a random group of people haha! and there was no electricity in my house from 9am-6pm today. so it was awfully hot =( fortunately tehre was water...if not i'll die

take care of yourselff =)

yay this saturday there's 4P class gathering at jeenee's house! i think =)

2005-11-12T22:04:00.000+08:00

haha okay i apologise...ali is not a loser. she's a very good listener and a great friend! so she's for sale too...about same price as joobs. 20 cents. if u buy zhuzhu too, all 3 of them will cost 50cents...3 for the price of 2 and a half!!

haha...i can't really remember what i did for this week. here's a rough guide..i watched TOM YUM GOONG with just and joobs and her PW friend peixuan. just and i thoroughly enjoyed it cos it was sooo good and its the best action movie i have ever watched. =) im not sure about traumatised joobs though haha

then on the 9th my family left singapore! they left me a really sweet note on my mirror..and that night i stayed over at leslie's place with fangwei! we borrowed the dvd 'batman begins' and 'league of extraordinary gentlemen'. batman begins was kinda bad cos i watched it half-sleeping. we woke up the next morning to watch league and it was quite nice! after that leslie and i went town and we stoned around and decided to watch zorro in a sucky cinema. and it wasn't good cos the action in tom yum goong is 10 million times better.

friday morning was the best time of my life =)

after going to yio chu kang CC, i went to j8 and met jem nah joobs ali zhu! then just and nina were there too so i spent time with both groups.

on saturday evening, i went for latin dance class! to sit in...the teacher seems nice and everything seems friendly =)

ah my family is coming back tmr!

DONT GOoooooooooooo ;'(

2005-11-08T22:53:00.000+08:00

ali is super loser! today nobody wanted to watch GOALL cos im the only suaku who hasn't watched it so i forced ali to watch with me. we had to watch it at bishan cos it was the only place in singapore which stll showed it! it was quite good! but newcastle beat chelsea in the game so not so nice. i got a bit pissed after that happened haha. ali thinks santiago munez is a sexy name

after that the most loser incident happened. we took train to town cos it was more happening there but we got on the wrong side so we were headed to ang mo kio i think. we realised and we crossed the platform. then upon reaching bisha, she walked out with a confident strut and told me we had to cross the platform again. GGXX.COM.SG

so we were shoopping for random stuff in orchard and it was quite fun talking about lotsa things..and we ate at the yummy ramen place again :D afterwards wanlin came to join ali so i just tagged along cos i didn't feel like going home yet.

i got some good ideas for christmas presents already! thanks ali =)

2005-11-06T19:17:00.002+08:00

the latin people! jem and i were wearing our hiphop clothes inside haha

2005-11-06T19:17:00.001+08:00

our holding area which looks like a pro conference room!

2005-11-06T19:17:00.000+08:00

our performance location at toa payoh

2005-11-06T18:58:00.000+08:00

hello : ) this week was really filled with ups and downs. maybe not, but it was basically downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn then up! thursday was the most awful..i couldn't enjoy my grandpa's birthday dinner at all.

but friday things took a turn for the better. threesome was pretty good : ) especially the company! haha

then on friday was the performance at toa payoh .. i forgot a few of my latin steps but it wasn't too obvious i think! haha. and hiphop was okay i guess! there were blips and i got upset cos of silly stuff..but everything's fine now.

thank you for coming to support mee =)

responds to tags:
leisl: helloo =)
angie: haha ya i wonder who just met the family
meixian: of course im a funny guy and it was nice seeing u again!

2005-11-02T20:05:00.000+08:00

the whole week has been, and will be filled with dance. sigh, but there really isn't anything else to do either. why is singapore so boring =(

on monday it was quite okay because there was dance prac for chingay! just and leslie came and it was funny watching them dance! after that lesles had training so just and i went to orchard and we went shopping and it was fun =) bought almost identical presents...

at night there was family bible study! it was quite cool that we'd come together as a family to have fellowship during halloween. my uncle who just became a pastor, talkd about temptations, sharing the account of how Jesus got tempted by the devil too. its quite heartwarming to know that our saviour knows how we feel and can empathise with our everyday experiences..

afterwards yanjie my sec2 cousin came to stayover! played warcraft a while then we went into the room and talked. its easy to talk to him cos he doesn't know anything cos he's so innocent so he knows quite a lot of my secrets haha

the next day we played warcraft the entire morning! then, there was dance in the afternoon for the 5th november performance, but it was for really quite a short while! cos jem and natalie were dancing since morning and they were really tired. so afterwards i decided to go to jem's house to play tennis and swim! its very nice..and he has a very small yet cosy room. his apple laptop looks very smart on his bench-desk thingy..=) its been a long time since i had swum, and it was a pity the condominiums were blocking the sun!

sigh and today was a crummy day. after latin workshop (sorry evelyn!) just, chenwei and i went to eat at j8. then chenwei had to go for training..so just and i went to orchard to walk around. then i felt really really sad..plus just was going to meet someone so i became alone. then i felt like crap because everyone close to me was busy. so i went home and played warcraft, which was the last thing i wanted to do. and i missed my bus stop too =(

now i'm going to try to cheer up and go eat ice cream.

why is everyone too busy for me =(

2005-10-30T14:47:00.000+08:00

now that open house is over..i have no more purpose in life...haha. somehow, after all my responsibilites have been fulfilled, many other issues seem to pop up. Open house and promos are over, and on one hand, life seems more slow-paced and relaxed, yet forgotten issues arise as a result.

on duno which day, after school i was bored and we headed to marigold mews! i got forced to watch MG..but it wasn't too bad cos i kinda got the hang of the story. ali's maid cooks yummy chicken wings! im going back to marigold mews soon to eat more =) i hope. and her brother is GGXX tall!! and her mother is ggxx funny. and ali has a ggxx tweety bird shirt

oh yeah...the issue of whats going to happen to RJ gym next year has popped up. we have no more budget for a coach, and so we kinda have stopped training..although i think training is resuming. i really hope we can compete as a team next year...and not individuals.

oh yeah and my family is going overseas from 9-13 nov. im not going cos of my PW OP, which is on the 14th. not that i mind...i'd rather stay in singapore

anyway the 24th farewell committee has started working! but kudos to licia because i've been slacking haha

and dance has been disastrous...latin, notably. i felt so pressured when laoshi came to preview us because it was really my first time dancing with the music and i looked like a chicken with two left feet next to natalie...it was quite embarrassing but it got better after we repeated it several times. i hope i dont make a fool out of myself! angie was really encouraging =)

and there was an issue which popped up because of a fateful jog during PE..sighhhhhhhh. life can be full of regrets sometimes..alot of what-ifs have been popping up ever since.

ya so i was quite depressed cos of all these issues. ali dene leslie just all have been listening to my woes..you all mean alot to me! except leslie...who's a ggxx

so i couldn't really enjoy zuzu's bday party which was on friday. on a happier note,we went to clare's house to celebrate it and rayner was so funny because he was the human present! i bet zuzu LOVED it..haha. we bought yummy food and we feasted at her house after the surprise! we also formed the words 'happy bday' with candles and i bet zuzu cried, like she always does. even when watching MG!!

then on saturday i watched TRANSPORTER 2. i thought it was quite good! but i stil want to watch goal!

and i've taken a liking to chinese pop songs! my father keeps playing them. haha. the same old few , like xiao wei, qing fei de yi. all the really old hits!

sigh the next week will be packed with dance practices for chingay and the 5th november performance, not forgetting the workshops...hai yo.

i hope planning for orientation will be fun =) i tihnk im in storyline committee !

2005-10-26T18:55:00.000+08:00

I am a hooker and just is shell-shocked...

2005-10-26T18:54:00.001+08:00

and we are buoys!

2005-10-26T18:54:00.000+08:00

3 retarded prisoners

2005-10-23T18:42:00.000+08:00

i can't really tell whether open house was a success, i personally was quite disappointed with the turnout, i thought there'd be many more people visiting. nevertheless, it was the big day, the day in which the success of our repetitive and longwinded briefings depended much on the befriender's initiative. it was really quite messy, getting all the befrienders to the LT exits and making sure they were there. Plus, many didn't want school tours. But at least they'll know there's someone always willing to take them around, so i guess its not too bad =)

i was really perplexed that day because i was supposed to go on stage after the matriculation talks to give a short briefing with just, on what we had in store for the RI boys/RG girls. And it so happened that the RG matriculation talked was occurring simultaneously with the hiphop item! so i was running to and fro from LT5(the place where the performers gathered) to LT1 to the amphi, seeing which would come first. the hiphop item came first, so i rannn down to the amphi. prior to that, i had to switch shirts with justin because i forgot to bring my black shirt!! so i was wearing the RJC RUGBY shirt all day and everyone was giving me weird looks. thank you justin! if u ever see this. maybe evelyn can help me tell =)

anyway, hiphop item was fun! i was practically laughing throughout the performance because of familiar faces in the crowd laughing at me. especially geri and hide. but we received really good feedback so well done to everyone! thanks to peishan, cat, nahnah for helping to choreograph the item, and all the dancers for being so cooperative in turning up for practice sessions. and cat is very irritating.

modern and latin were really good too...but the performances at LT2 weren't widely publicised enough i think. and chinese dance was amusing, as usual. HAHA

after that, we had dinner at fish and co! with a mixture of people including open house committee people, befrienders, etc. i ate until i was SUPER SUPER FULL.

ok g2g i'll continue this antoher time!! BYEBYE

2005-10-18T19:11:00.000+08:00

hey..its been a week since i last blogged. i've gotten back most of the promos results, and they're pretty much the same as my CT results...but i really studied hard. this time the exam jitters got me, so i screwed up for some subjects. perhaps there wasn't enough practice, but im somewhat grateful for the screwup in chem. at first i got a C...when i was expecting an A. i was flabbergasted...and my hopes of taking chem 's' vanished instantaneously...i was at a loss and i just started crying in class..it was really bad.

maybe it was due to complacency, maybe it was cos i didn't practise enough, maybe it was cos i didn't bring my calculator in so i had to borrow cedric's which i didn't know how to use, maybe it was cos i did section A last and i wasn't used to it so i panicked...

through all this, i realised that many many people will always be by my side whenever i fell. many many friends comforted me and assured that i'll be able to take chem 's'...and my teacher was feeling really sorry because she felt she was at fault for giving the advice that we should do section B and C first, and junli was constantly checking on me to see whether i was okay. i got messages from classmates telling me to cheer up, like from kengwee and jonsng..there was just so much love.

so i think sometimes it takes some awful thing to happen to make u realise how wonderul the people around you are =)anywway, miss soh took back my paper and added a few marks so i got a B. which is still kind of depressing but nevermind!

My other subjects were okay i guess. Apart from the academic aspect of school...open house preparations have been quite draining. But manageable! Just and i have a pretty good understanding....and the first befrienders meeting was quite successful in the sense that 240/280 people turned up. for those absentees we had to painstakingly call them up -_- but nevermind!

Apart from befrienders, cat and i had to worry about hiphop too, but its piecing together =) somehow we've managed to learn most of the dance steps and the hiphop item more or less looks okay =D hope we can put up a good performance during open house!

oh yes and PW's been a nightmare.

at least there are some things which have made me smilee =)

2005-10-12T20:40:00.000+08:00

hey..these few marking days haven't been much of a holiday for me. open house is a week away..and i've been staying up practically everynight to finish up the befriender booklet stuff. nevertheless, there were some events which did add colour to an otherwise mundane 'holiday'...

IHC was quite successful, i think. quite a lot of people turned up for the track meet, and it really was quite fun. it was really unfortunate that some people like jem took part in so many races , but didn't get a single gold so there wasn't a trophy for him to take home!! while cheaters like me took part in 2 races and in the race where i hardly contributed, we got gold. thanks to donovan, sharman and nabil! :) and i think council did quite well too for inter-cca race! i was supposed to flip across the line if i were last but i wasn't so i didn't hahaha.

after that i choreographed a dance for dance night with cat. it was quite fun! buti had to count all the beats in the song and divide them into sections..so we could choreograph more organizedly. peishan helped a lot too...hope it will be a success!

the 2 days before, we had to endure the pretty awful CCAL camp...but i guess it wasn't TOO bad. the invited entrepreneur who set up 1.99 shop had an uncanny resemblance to joob's behaviour...haha. and the public speaking workshop was so funny cos the random number thing was so rigged! yongjin is a rigger rigger rigger.

the rest of the time we were teaching the councillors the open house dance. i can remember it now! =)

oh and i watched corpse bride with joobs on tuesday...it was quite nice i think, but the movie was really short. but the ramen after that was REALLY GOOD! except for the price.

can't wait till after 21st =) for >1 reasons haha

2005-10-08T19:03:00.000+08:00

hey..promos are over =) after 2 days of just playing, i realised there were lots of responsibilities waiting for me, including the planning for open house, choreographing a new hiphop dance featuring both guys and girls, and disgusting PW.

preparations for promos would've been much more awful without all the nice people studying in the library with me : )

open house is less than 2 weeks away =( there's a lot of planning to be done cos the admin rejected several proposals.

anyway i gotta go to my grandmas house already..tomorrow we're playing soccer vs another church! =D i miss soccer. haha..and i hope preparation for dance will be fun!! new dance..finally

the cutest question in the world.. "how much do u love me upon 10" hahaha

2005-09-24T22:52:00.000+08:00

okay..i just got feedback that some people might find my comments about PW condemning. no its not that..its just that some people have been making their teammates do more work, and i think its really unfair to them..

anyway, i want to eat the coconut flavoured ice cream from island creamery! i will go make friends with uncle stanley.

colours was quite okay. it there were some people who were receiving awards for the 6th time! crazy. after that went to serene centre to study and eat ice cream : ) made a new friend who drops money from his pockets! haaha

2005-09-23T00:52:00.000+08:00

hello peoplee i'm much much much better and now and consequentially studying has resumed its typical monotony which i can somewhat enjoy with wonderful friends around me.

i'd like to thank notably several j2s who have so kindly helped me over the past few days like geriberi, desmond, matin...all wonderful tutors in their special ways. and those who've studied with me all this while..making studying much less boring. and my soccer khakis who've provided much entertainment in this period barren of fun.

tomorrow is the awarding of colours at st marg's secondary sch, and several people are skipping it. im quite disgruntled at this cos its an honour to represent the school at such a ceremony, and it really wouldn't reflect well on RJC if many people were absent. they want to study...but i really think this should preside over something which can be solved with deft time management manoeuvres.

i see many people slogging away for their PW written reports and its quite a sorry sight to see that something spanning the past 6 months are all being cramped into these 3 or 4 days. and its even more disturbing to see that some group members are still incorrigibly slack at this point, leaving much work to their other group members who equally deserve the time to rest or to study. thank God our group was on task..phew.

after promos it'll be really hectic with the oral presentation, open house stuff and the interhouse games. but in case you all didn't know, there is STILL SCHOOL during the marking days!! i bet half the j1 population will skip school >=( annoying..

anyway, studyings been much more carefree nowadays, now that i dont have to think so much about other stuff. everythings almost back to normal, and i really ought to cherish this normality : ) can't wait till after promos! whoopee

2005-09-18T00:33:00.000+08:00

im really thankful for all my friends, i've started to open up increasingly to more and more people. really, no man is an island.

but i really need to get distracted. in between studying, i've to think of something else, if not i just break down.

love is an indescribable sense of happiness. at least, i thought it was.

2005-09-15T08:00:00.000+08:00

heyy its civics now and we're going for a break soon cos our CT is slack. haha. yesterday i studied in the library afer i decided i couldn't take the heat in the canteen. i kept falling asleep : (

ggxx

so after i went up i found hide and just sat with her and desmond later came down to join us. sigh..i'm not too stressed yet i guess cos i've been devising short-term study plans. and i've been trying to enjoy studying too! : )

tuesday was desmond's bday, wed was leisl's, today is yanni's. all these poor souls..having birthdays during the exam period : ) but it is heartening to know that amidst all the flurry to study, people still bother to spend a little time with their friends on their special days.

and i must play more basketball. or i'll get kapowed by jerling haha

2005-09-11T22:31:00.000+08:00

hello...this whole holidays have been pretty interesting! a range of emotions from being happy studying to being really stressed all appeared..a moderate amount of entertainment has successfully been incorporated into the week's monotonous schedule of studying, such as goign to school and studying with COOL PEOPLE IN THE CANTEEN and going to WCG opening at suntec with lesles philip and wynsen..other than that, its just been studyinggg. and warcraft HAHAaa

waileong was so poor thing! he forgot to build his 5th acolyte in his final deciding match against 'omgmasswyverns' aka mashi. so he lost in the group stage cos he 'forgot to wear his pants'

today i studied in church! its quite conducive cos there's this nice room with a huge table. then if your bored u can go outside and jump around.

anyway today i was somehow feeling quite moody but now im quite happy cos of all the cool friends online! i think i've made numerous new friends over the past weeks or so, they're quite interesting to talk to! and i've also gotten closer to my already bestest buddies through all the time spent together studying

but things haven't been going smoothly in all aspects..but i guess its ok. :)God really puts everything in perspective once again.

chelsea >>>>>>>> all yay no goals conceded

i will do more advertisements: joober is going cheap! 20 cents

2005-09-02T23:07:00.000+08:00

hey everyone..thanks for showing so much concern, even the anonymous tags on the board have been pleasant : ) sometimes i think that telling the whole world im upset on my blog somehow seems to be attention seeking and self-pitying, but i guess everyone wants to feel loved in some way or another.

i think everything's pretty much fine now, and today i discovered how great the RI library is for studying! the wooden chairs make it impossible for you to sleep and you wont get distracted either cos the study corners have like these desks with 3 walls around u!

sigh. studying really sucks though.

i'd rather play soccer. or buy more fish to fill up my fish tank, to join jober ali, zu and ray*er. maybe i should buy more tetras so that they can be the offspring of..ha ha ha.

now i realise how important people around me are. and i learnt from today's 'experiencing God' session in church, that, the most important things in life aren't things, they're relationships, with God and with the people around you.

and i also learnt to let GO, let GOD.

and after i did let go abit, things took a turn for the better : )

and i've got no study partners >=[

but at least my sunflower is making me happy again :) my mum bought one for me. so sweet right? haha. cos i told her i like sunflowers!

2005-09-01T19:21:00.000+08:00

i dont know what to think, but i guess its not so bad. sometimes tears just surge out but its not going to be really that awful. i never knew this whole thing could be so painful. i never knew there existed such a phase, but it hurt. fortunately its over, but now everythings over.

;'(

at least i've wonderful friends to distract me. thanks juber and ali for asking me how i was, meant alot to me. and of course, tehhhhhhhhhhhh

maybe its not true that i have no friends, just a few. or maybe not. there are many who're willing to stand by me, or so they claim, but its difficult to open up to people which have some sort of resemblance to those who have betrayed your trust before.

i can't really study as much as before, everything's just sapping my energy away.

shoo..joober and rayner the blogging newbies! hhaa..the gosu is here.

ahh my little baby cousin just ran out naked from the bathroom...hahaha. sigh. yesterday on the bus towards marche(there was this dance farewell dinner for the j2s), ali was playing with a little boy...then i called her paedophile. i was thinking, maybe i'd like to become a paediatrician :D

anyway dance dinner was awful...there were actually more guys than girls on the j1 side. for the j2s (whom the dinner was meant for) only liling sherry lama carolyn and desmond turned up..sigh it was quite sad. nevertheless..i broke a record for spending the least money at marche ever! three dollars! i bought a yucky only-potato-and-sour-cream rosti and ate sherry's leftovers. and i was full! haha.

the past weekend i've really been slacking, i just had no mood...its like after recovering from a horrible blow, you just want to recover, and recovering=relaxing! and i also recently discovered the joy of borrowing vcds from the library. i've watched hotel rwanda, les choristes, and a bit of love actually. hotel rwanda is so depressing :( but the main character's really inspiring...I WANT TO BE LIKE HIM HAHA. he was really sweet to his wife, when his wife asked him to take the children and escape (cos she was a tutsi and the tutsis were being massacred by the hutus. and the main character's a hutu), he said he'd never leave her! so nice! but i was quite depressed that night i watched it, cos it showed how cruel human beings can be..:( sin is so rampant in us, its scary what'll happen if there wasn't the law and the government. thankfully God put a conscience in our hearts, so that this effect wont be so devastating (if we had no conscience, i think human beings would've been wiped out eons ago).

anyway, school has been better than last time. there has been much hype about OGLs and befrienders! and i was so proud of my popular befriender board! haha..and through that, made some new friends too! like teh-tarik. haha.

tomorrow's teachers day and i do hope people will actually turn up..930 is really an early dismissal time. plus, i do think your teachers would like to see you come and celebrate this annual occasion, right?

over the recent ordeal, i've discovered that really people do care for you. i'd like the whole world to know that i wouldn't have survived without JOOBER! joober is a nice listener and comforter and therefore i am advertising her to all the GUYS! especially those who run fast, play soccer, and have something to do with cutlery. and all the wonderful people in school...thanks ali and angie for that 'top ten' list, and zuzu for comforting me even tho she didn't know what was going on! and jem and even junyi who noticed that i was, out of sorts..and finally, i really wnat to thank God for being there for meee even when the almost-omnipresent joober wasn't around!

and finally, thank you for your forgiveness.

the past 1 and a half weeks have been really quite busy. i bought a cool purple pen and an ornage zig marker so my diary is really quite colourful now. there's the retarded 'say 1 nice thing about dennet and alicia day'...etc.

i've been making too many announcements these few days..the one about the recruitment of befrienders (after this weird chinese quiz thing during civics), and there was WASSUP THIS WEEK today. my voice sounds weird in the microphone, most of my good friends didn't even realise it was me speaking during WASSUP >:[

friday was fun cos we played soccer vs AJC, we lost 5-3 but it was still fun! rama, hat trick hero, missed a hat trick of opportunities too so it was possible that we could've won! and hanting made a few silly errors too so we could've done much better..but they were good nevertheless. to think we hardly play together, and they've been training together...we did quite well!

after school these days have been just studying, or just attempting to. its quite fun with good company...but that means its not good for studying. so -_-

anyway befriender applications have been pretty popular! all the forms are gone! so i had to print more. so im hoping they return the forms...and i just learnt that we have to teach the befridners how to do the batch dance and the open house dance and all the weird dances WHCIH I DUNO HOW TO DO...sigh...:(

Hi-5 for the Hi-card!! :D

2005-08-12T23:18:00.000+08:00

national day celebrations were a disasterr...i was forcefully dressed up as a lion by devilish dani sigh evelyn's blog has my disgusting picture..she made me pretend to roar -_- anyway the turnout was surprisingly okay, and dehui's crew made a guest performance which i'm sure many enjoyed!

afterwards i didn't go out cuz i didn't really feel like it, i stayed back in school to do up the CCAL board then i went home to play DOTA. then afterwards i met up with MS KAYLI FONG! who treated us to DINNER at crystal jade. so generous!!! :D and we all walked around random shopping centres searching for wanjun's off-shoulder top. i was bored. but it was fun making sarcastic comments about clothings wanjun liked ha ha hhaa. she ended up buying some weird orange thing. took a lot of retarded picture with fongkie's act-cool white sunglasses...yea it was a fun time and shopping was pretty enjoyablee

on national day i stayed at home and did work. sigh. then i got hit with the awful news that someone was sick :(

so on wed, i decided to go for class party...watched FANTASTIC 4 in the morning! and we actually almost watched stealth!!!!!! LOSER JOOBER! class party was quite fun, junli's house is HUGE!!! and i didn't get dunked. winner me! the food was super gd, nasi lemak and bakua and chicken wings satay pizza heavenlyyyy :) i almost got a sore throat in e morning afterwards but thank God i was spared the agony...:D

these days i've been feeling quite detached from the usual 'clique' in school due to weird reasons but after talking to God and joober i felt much betterrr. shared about it during the 'experiencing God' workshop in chuch today. decided to start recording down what God is doing in my life, and how he's blessing it in this little book of mine.

thanks ah yong for the london teddybear! but its not as cute as my babyy giraffe!!

hello. these few days have been pretty much packed with rehearsals. jem and i were called to this nonsensical fighting scene for the inter house games opening ceremony, fortunately there weren't any blips or screw ups and the corny ending of scissors paper stone was more successful than i could've imagined. people started laughing even before we showed our hands!

there was the interhouse soccer tournament after that, we got 3rd for that. somehow after the 1st 2 games we lost momentum and didn't play that well for subsequent matches. but nevermind everything was fun and we let everyone who signed up play, so we not only got to know our fellow housemates better, but also had fun! i was really muddy and tired after that. according to joober, smelt of grass >=[

my legs are still aching.

anyway on saturday there'll be a soccer tournament between baptist churches, i hope it'll be a fun time of fellowship :) hope the competitiveness won't get to us too much, because its an evangalistic event after all. pray there'll be no injuries, and that people will see the spirit of christian fellowship, and God's love among us.

and on monday im doing this retarded fashion parade thing because joober and leslie didn't wanna do it :[ then dani looked so pitiful so licia and i agreed. the consolation for the loss of face is a free movie ticket. hooray.

hope the long national day weekend will be a good time for all of us to recuperate from our hectic schedules and for ourselves to gear up for the reality that the promos are right around the corner.

on a lighter note, i hope everyone will be able to achieve a nice balance of play and work during this break, which will require much discipline :] and yes, its time to catch up on movie watching!!! i haven't even watched fantastic 4! HOW LOSER IS THAT!!! nor have i been dota-ing, which might be a good thing. and i just realised the warcraft campaign is quite fun to play also. smirk.

hello im having GP now and we're supposed to research on cloning! which i am doing, subconsciously. and jon sng is in my group and he's soloing so :)

ppl around me have been surprisingly studious this week, or at least, they attempt to be. david lau studying was a rare sight until recently. i guess thats what the common tests were for, to scare people into working hard. its effects are pretty apparent :D

last saturday there was the match against another church, and it turned out that we had only 9 people, so 2 kind souls from the other team came over, including brian raui - who's an s league player! he played defence, and it was a fun time of fellowship with hosanna baptist church. ben khong scored a really spectacular goal while jason bulldozed their defence and scored 4...so we won 5-3!

so this week has been pretty uneventful, basically school and lazing around/working after school. wednesday was really fun cuz after sch we went to play DDR! then after that i went to play table tennis with justin and practised breakdancing a while on stage with dehui and the other gymnasts. afterwards rayner and i were supposed to work but after a short while peichian came and told us the j2s were going to play soccer at the astroturf. all our willpower seeped away and we packed our bags and went off to enjoy ourselves at the reminiscient astroturf :)

thanks joober for listening to me, and praying too, i felt much better afterwards. although i was feeling ill, thank God that a good 9 hr rest did the trick - i feel okay now.

thank you for agreeing to keep an open mind, and although i know its difficult, we will take things slowly, 1 step at a time?

giraffes and flowers <3

today there was the anti-drug thingy held at youth park....it wasn't too large scale, but there was a crowd nevertheless. there was a street soccer competition and a DOTA competition nearby, both of which i looked on with great interest :D the dance was okay, i fell for my butterfly360 but i didn't land awfully so it was okay! and it wasn't too obvious either. poor joy lost her bag! she seemed quite distraught..

friday was rhythmic gym comp! i thouht everyone did erally well....and some ppl were just scary. after u give them a compliment they start crying...HAIYO. the whole event made me very sleepy because there were many many competitors and it was so hot...which made me doze off several times. i only woke up when RJ or the CCAB girls competed. well done to evelyn, amy, zhuzhu, maddy, annabelle :D

after that i went to SA dance night with joober, ali, wanjun, jem, rayner. it was pretty good i thought, just that there were many invited dance troupes, not that im complaining. the best breakdancing troupe in singapore was there and they put up an enthralling performance! there was this guy who could do airtrack...joober was smitten with all of them and ali was smitten with the tall guy, whom she didn't like after seeing him close up. haha. -_____-

this weeks been pretty fun filled, but i really need to catch up with my tutorials! contrary to what everyone else thinks >=[

haha acsi band concert would've been alot of better if i was there, huh! :D

2005-07-17T22:56:00.000+08:00

we won! (surprise, surprise) hahaha kay lah we all felt good yet cheapskate...but nevermind..its our first gold as a TEAM!!!!!! cheers to us. i'lll upload the gym comp pics once my father gets back cus i used a weird camera. i got gym videos on allll our routines for every apparatus too..:D nah nah did really well and got 1st individual! beat alan :O SURPRISING. by 0.05 haha... but alan didn't perform to his best..gave him chance!

then gym dinner was really fun..we had 2. on wed and fri. wed with RJ and fri with RI. fish and co on wed was super gddddddddddddddddd.. i had swordfish collar which was SUMPTIOUS, and friday's seoul garden, as usual, was a feast. with xavier sitting at our table, how boring could things get? really had fun that night...talkinga bout all sorts of nonsense :)

i can't believe i didn't seeeee u during COMP!! SO SORYYYYY but u still ROckkkkkk. thanks joober for coming down to support ALTHOUGH IT WAS ONLY 15 min.

now everythings so hectic PW COUNCIL DANCE!! next week we're performing dunowhewre for some anti-drug campaign...we're doing the dance night dance and we need to redo it cus j2s and chenwei arne't involved! LUCKILY there's still dehui if not we're dead!

anywayyyy its gona be a fun filled month :) i think! musn't forget the books! and dota!

2005-07-12T19:47:00.000+08:00

tramp comp was amusing, we arrived JUST in time to tryout the tramp, just that nahnah wasn't present cus he was at home playing dota -_- anyway..raffles did really well, RJ guys got first and girls got 2nd, RI B div first, C div 3rd, RG won sth too i cant rmb what hahhaa

so artistic comp's tmr,,, im so worried. this is the year that we have a good chance of bagging individual prizes..next year the chances will be much slimmer cus all the pro sec4s will be coming up.

these few days have been quite difficult for me....for council i have to rush some function proposal thing which includes meeting up with our seniors. i've been trying to catch up with work too cus i've been missing lessons cus of match support and gym.

on the bright side my CTs have been satisfactory, thank God for giving me the discipline to study during the holidays :)

i misssssss my friends who've i've drifted slightly from these few days :( i'll use the time after comp to catch up with them...

anyway, ifyou're bored and you're feeling nice, help my PW group and do this survey for us :D thankss!!
