LLTC Part II

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

ok….so we played space invaders… and my group was the defending team…and for those who dont know what this game is all about..it’s played like this…there would be 2 teams….1 defending & 1 attacking…the defending team will spread out and stand at four different lines while the attacking team attacks[duh right?] by trying to run across the line without being touched by the defenders. So my team was the defending one and i was situated at the first line…after playing a few rounds, after like 10 mins or so….something bad happened…I was like trying to stop Elian from getting across….so when i saw him trying to sprint across….i went all out intending to touch him(dont think wrongly…I’m supposed to do so…the game is played like this…) so all of a sudden(i guessed i stretched too much or i tripped my own leg…that’s dumb right??? I know but it just happened) Kliak Kliak…..and i was on the ground….I tried to get up but i couldnt…My leg was painful[duh] so the SJAB ppl came and attended to me…the icebag wasnt ready so they sprayed some kind of pain relieving spray that relieves the pain( it turns the hair sliver…cool man) thereafter i was lifted onto a chair…..wow….read on…then i was lifted on the chair by 4 strong man(facils/friends/teachers…cant remember who they are…wasnt in a clear/right state of mind then ya….) and they carried me all the way from the track up the steps to the sickbay(F1-5A)…ok now close ur mouth right now…lol….I felt the warmth and care of lasallians la….I also felt so bad that i deprived my group of going to the other stations to continue playing…..

Anyway cos i cant walk so my dinner was in the sickbay….haha…cool right? Air conditioned leh….lol…so my whole group wanted to accompany me for dinner…so they all came….haha…we occupied the whole F1-5A since i am the ony casualty….they brought in lots of food la…heaps and moutains…haha….It was kinda like a blessing in disguise(my injury) just as what John Paul said…I sort of bomded the whole group together.After that was a talk in LT1…some kind soul got me a trolley but when i stepped onto it…it wont move…know why ya?…so ya perished the thought and limped all the way to LT1…not that far la. After that I went to have a shower since i hadnt have one as i was injured…I had the whole shower room to myself la..haha..plus hot water…hehehe..shiok sia….can take my own sweet time. Thereafter i bunked in with another group in 325 since i cant climb stairs and my room was on the second floor….Quite sad right? 1st day of camp and i was injured…missed out on lots of fun things man….

Day 2

We all had to wake up at 5+ in the morning to get ready to go to Macritchie reservoir for morning run…I think it was quite dumb lor…They could have just made us run Mount Rosy(Is that how u spell it?)….no need to take bus….save money,save time,save trouble….Didnt want to go at first but tagged along at last since I didnt want ot be left behind ALONE…But i forgot something…there were overheadbridges to climb…damn…So i took the steps 1 by 1….believe me it wasnt easy…concentrating/putting all your weight on 1 leg and considering the fact that i wasnt exactly light….sat down and waited for them while they all went to run…Alastair,Siyang and some others were there too…Suddenly it started raining then pouring and everybody was like running to the bus stop like lunatics…So poor me and Alastair and some others was like walking slowly…After showers was breakfast and then the talk " Challenging Our Boundaries" at LT1…after that was the 1st 3 habits of the 7 habits of Highly Effective People bu Steven Covey…believe me…if it was not for Bro. Michael conducting…making it as interesting as possible…we will all be sleeping…After lunch was Action Time at ITE Ang Mo KIo Ropes Course…We were expecting flying fox,absailing,leap of faith and many more…but…we only did the wallclimbing or rather they since i was injured…as the weather wasnt that great(it was raining)….Quite a few went all the way to the top…applause pls…while some didnt….there was 1 particular guy who went super-duper fast…and he is Jian Fei from 321…just as what his name suggests..its as though he could fly…and what more it was his first time climbing the wall….wth right? All I can say is he’s born with it la huh? Born to climb…haha…(anway it was quite weird…we were in the same school,same level and same floor and i didnt even know he exists..haha)

So we went back to school to shower…si yang and I had a good one la…dont have the wrong idea…we gave the excuse that we were injured and we needed more time to bathe…but we were indeed injured…haha…so we bathed for like damn long la…lke for 4 sessions. After dinner was the heritage play of St. John Baptist De La Salle put up by all the facils…It was no doubt entertaining and I enjoyed it very much….by the way chuxian was hilarious….see his face and actions then feel like laughing…haha…anyway there was 1 lady who cant sing at all…her voice was like so squeaky lor…after that was song time…love song time man….the songs were great…and the whole "feel" was there…everybody was like putting their hands over each other and was swaying and singing with the music….believe me the scene/picture/sight was great and warm….you can feel the friendship/true and strong bonds of lasallians…after that was reflection time,supper and lights off at 12….

Day 3

As usual we had to wake up and get ready for morning run at 5.45…But this time I learnt my lesson and decided to play safe by staying back in school.So i brought down all mu hw and started doing in the canteen….Around 6.45 Randall arrived…he came for the SYF thingy at 7.30…a bit too early right…anyway was glad that he was here and we started chatting..than as the sky started to turn brighter, more sec 1s and 2s came…Saw francis too and started chatting too…haha…Around 8+ they all came back…and it was shower time than breakfast.After breakfast was the talk at LT " Our Social Realities" by some social worker and probation officer and a brother from St. Pats i think…anyway that social worker looks very familiar…I think he went on a talk show before…a chinese one…After that was habits 4 to 6 of the 7 habits of H.E.P….this time our speaker is Jude tan as Bro Mike had to go to Manilla….although he tried his best to keep us awake by giving out sweets…but believe me more than half of the class is sleeping or dozing off…and i believe the rest were also like stoning or daydreaming la….After lunch was dragon boating but i didnt join them since i need to go to the doctor for my leg…damn…..i was like looking so forward to it la…anyway mom came and brought me to the chinese sinseh/physician/osteopath…after being twisted/pulled/rubbed by him I went bach home to take a shower since there were plenty of time before all the others are back from dragonboating…and i blogged too…and this is why i was able to blog on the 21st of June…haha… I went back to school around 6+ and joined the rest of the camp for Alfreso Dining…Initially, i thought it was like something very special very sumptuous….but guess what….we had PLAIN porridge and PLAIN water for dinner and guess what Alfresco means….It is outdoor in some other language….It was supposed to let us reflect and fell/experience how the poor/unfortunate ppl in Singapore were feeling….some of them really lived on this…

LLTC Part I

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

It all started on the eve(18th of june) of the LLTC(Lasallian Leadership Training Camp) when i frantically try to pack stuffs required for the camp….I started packing only at 11+ after finishing the pre-camp questions….There were so many things to pack…It was a 5 day 4 nights camp and it starts on 19 june to 23 june…wondering why i am here typing now on the 21 june??? Shouldnt me be still at the camp…i will explain later…

So anyway with the help of my wonderful assistant(my maid) i finished packing at around 2…thats "very fast" right? anyway i have to wake up at 5 the next morning so i head straight for bed….anyway on 19 june i arranged to meet up with Jared at the bus stop since he’s also going for the camp…BUT…I was late..as i realised i hadnt pack something at the last minute…so i went down and see no one(expected) so go myself…Reached school at like 720 went to the board and check out which classroom to go to and which group i belong…I belonged to Service house and in the group I.Patrick…So i went up to class 321..this will be my bedroom for the next 4 nights…Saw quite a few ppl in there…already wehad icebreakers…& played games like taking any amount of toilet paper u want so being kiasu or greedy i took like 16 sheets…Damn…so i need to say 16 things about myself…wth…but i went through it with breeze…haha..ty…ty…So now let me introduce my group members to u….there are a total of 9 ppl in our group and 1 facilitator…Tarcissus[a.k.a Tarci] is our facilitator and there are 6 josephians and 3 patricians including me…from SJI there were Ronney Tan, Sean Lui, Tze ren, Julian Lim and me…From St.Patricks were Khairul, James and Khoon Beng. The camp started officially when we all get together in the hall for briefing…after briefing was our first activity…WALK THE TALK…We were all astonished and shocked when we heard about the details of it…The 4 different houses namely,Community,Service,Faith and Mission will be travelling to 4 different locations by FOOT….Yes u didnt see wrongly nor i typed wrongly…it’s by foot..that means we have to walk there….futhermore NO maps will be provided and the facilitator will not help us…..the four locations are the 4 CBS schools mainly De La Salle School(my alma mater),St. Stephen’s,St.Anthony’s and St. Patricks…and they draw slots to decide which house to go to which school…So i was like praying very very hard that service would be going to DLSS since it was my alma mater and i know the way there…besides we can go visiting teachers too….And guess what,my prayers came through our destination is Dlss..so we started discussing among the ex Lasallians how do we walk there…the 1st thing that came to mind was obviously the expressway,but then there are certain parts of the xpress way that doesnt have any pavements/footpaths so it was out….and what we r left is Bukit timah lor…so we had no choice but to walk down Bukit timah…We started off at 930….so we walked…SJI to Raffles town club and pass Coronation Plaza then NJC and Nanyang Girls then to 6th avenue then to King Albert’s Park pass Bukit timah shopping centre pass the railway mall pass St.Joseph’s Church and Assumption English Sch till 1 bus stop away from Ten mile Junction…It was already 1230 when we reached that bus stop…we have already walk for whole 3 hrs…madness right?…Then Tarci received a call and was told that we need to take a bus and get to DLSS fast as there are no more time…So we boarded the bus and the bus was already full with the Lasallians in the other 2 grps…& that means…we have been leading them all this while….HAHA..ty…ty….my group rawks…So we took bus to DLSS and Bro Mike gave us an intro talk to the 7 habits of Highly Effective People that we will cover on the rest of the days…after that we had packet lunch and went back to SJI campus by public bus and played games…we travelled to different games station to play…we played game like ‘body parts’, obstacle course and many more….but something happened to me when we were playing the 2nd last game of the day,space invaders….something that constitutes to the reason why i m here now typing…

To be continued when i come back from the camp…..

June stayover ( a super long post ) Part II

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

K now….let me recall….where did i stop??? Oh ya…the fourth day….

Ok…. so on the fourth day we woke up at…ummmh..around 715am to go for the 815 mas/mass(correct my spelling) at gabriel’s church( St. Ignatius aka St. Iggys)…So we washed up and left his house for church in three batches in three different cars(there were so many ppl)…so as usual we attended mas/mass..as this was not the first time attending mas/mass in his church….maybe the third or fourth time…so ya…nothing much….but this was the first time we attended mas/mass with his whole family(both of his sisters were back from Boston for a stay) and its also the first time we see gab as a part of the choir…singing hymms…So after mas/mass we had breakfast with his family and few other friends we dont know at somewhere in Bukit timah near 6th avenue…after our ”delicious" pratas, Kiantat,Qingwei,Lennon and I proceed to Kim Seng plaza for bowling while Kenny head back home for tuition and gabriel went back to church for choir pratice….poor thing…always so busy…so we played bowling…i won the first game…YEAH!!!…with a not so great score of 94…then things started to change….i lost the rest of the three games we played…not getting more than 70 for each of them..haizz…and that stupid lennon managed to sort of learn the curve technique from the experienced old man who bowls like a pro…although it wasnt that awesome..he still managed to beat all of us…for one of the games he actually got more than 100…wow…anyway they all damn cheat one la….all throw so softly…then the balls like row so slowly…but damn accurate..so cheat one…i was soon sick and tired of bowling or rather losing after the fourth game…Qingwei too…so we decided to go play arcade while lennon and Kiantat played their 5th game…siao right…madness..anyway i and Qingwei played car racing…not long later we settled the bill…me and QW $12 while kiantat and lennon $15 excluding shoes fees…quite ex right… so they joined us for car racing…then I and lennon played the token machine…that kind of machine that requires u to put tokens in than if u r lucky more tokens will drop out..if not then too bad…waste ur money…In our case we wasted our money… we spent like a total of $6 on that machine…and not even 1 token came out…luckily there were coupons…we exchanged the coupons around 250 for a toy that gives out light when touched and a packet of sweet..not worth it right…so we decided to try for one last time…and guess wat?…we wasted another 50cents…none came out…haizz…we were so so so close…anyway we changed the coupons for 2 lollipops…quite worth it right..50 cents for 2 lollies…haha..should have changed all of the coupons to lollies at first..then we will have like…50 lollies…haha…anyway we went on to play motorcycles and guess what…haha…the para para dance machine….we werent exactly pros…haha..duh..anyway kiantat was like the best among us la..he cleared 2 stages…while on the other hand..Qingwei sucks at it…me and lennon were so so…

Thereafter we went to Great World to have lunch and we had KFC…me and lennon shared a buddy meal…while both Kiantat and Qingwei had zinger meals…wanted to catch a movie…but ya…only have cars and furthermore it was too ex…9+ for a ticket…anyway so left with nothing to do and nowhere to go…we took a taxi back to gab’s house as it was raining although we were not supposed to since gab was not back yet…but heck la..nothing to do leh…so we settled down to do some work[finally] while waiting for gabriel to come back…after like 15 mins…gab came back and joined us to do hw…but it soon died off[the enthusiasm]….and we were all beginning to become restless and braindead…finally it was dinner time….didnt eat much as we took lunch at like..wat…4pm…and it was only 7…settled down for X men II on 5 after dinner…until it was like 915…when gab’s pap..haha…wanted to watch soccer…then they all went to the playroom..leaving me behind…as i was too lazy to climb the stairs….how lazy can i be?? Saw the laptop and decided to go online and chat….after like 45 mins…and no one left to talk to…i went up to the playroom…and guess what…the lights were offed and they were all fast sleeping..wth….it’s like only 10+ and its the last night…shouldnt we be partying all night but….wat now…they were all sleeping and i was left with no choice but to turn to my physics assignment….wanted to at least wake lennon or gab up but…cant bear to …they were all like so soundly and deeply asleep….so i persisted but gave up around midnight…was once again braindead….took a shower and went to sleep in his comfy bed…didnt want to squeeze with the in the smelly and congested playroom….all smelly ppl…havent bathe yet…i was smelling so nice…haha….

Was awoken by stupid lennon and qingwei at around 10+ next morning….they told me that everyone was already awake and was waiting for me to have breakfast…but i found them suspicious and figured that thay were lying…as gab will sure come up himself to call me knowing that lennon and qingwei…cough** cough**…anyway lousy acting skills….to lennon and qingwei: BOO!!!!…haha….after persisting for close to 45 mins…i gave up…they were like using anything and everything to torture me….so i washed up and went down…as what i had guessed…they were still sleeping[kiantat and gabriel]…i called them and they all woke up…haha…losers…BOO!!! to lennon and qingwei…lol…we went on to have our breakfast? brunch? or u call it lunch?? as it was like 11+…haha…so after our so called breakfast/brunch/lunch combined….we stoned in the living room for a while…and then some of us decided to swim…(mainly me lennon and gabriel or u cal it grub)…haha….so i changed and jumped into the pool…after like 10 mins…lennon came running down in his swimwear telling me that they wanted to play biblepoly…what idiots man…so after another lonely 10 mins….lennon came and join me in the pool…this is what i call a friend…and gab…ya i understand u have to fulfill the role of a gracious host….i dont blame u …but it’s like dumb right??? Kiantat and Qingwei who both are neither catholics nor christians want to play BIBLEpoly with gab/grub a catholic…o wow…sure lose one what…dumb…anyway i and lennon played speed and UNO in the pool…and he kept winning while i kept losing…um like ya duh right…haha..after like 10 rounds..gabriel and qingwei joined us…but then kiantat refused to come into the water…beats me…would the water swallow him up?? I dont know…ask him…mayb he’s afraid of gab…he didnt want to suffer under grub’s deadly hug/squeeze ….lol….just joking…so at around 2 we went to bathe….

We booked a maxi cab to take all the 5 of us to Bugis Junction to watch Cars with his sister and friends…but then the taxi company called back..and say maxis arent available…tell us to take 2 cabs instead…oh wow…so we walked out to the indonesian embassy’s taxi stand…and boarded 2 cabs to bugis junc…what a waste of money…anyway so we watched cars…mmmmh..quite ok la..notbad…u wouldnt have missed out on anything if u didnt catch it….quite funny…1 word…average…for ppl who likes cartoons and have alot of money to spent…so after movie we went down to B1…as u know…there are plenty of things to eat there la…they wanted to take dinner but there’s food at home so…i accompanied them….i took something light…octopus balls…then took MRT home with lennon and qingwei while kiantat took a bus…Fell asleep on the MRT was too tired….reached home at 715pm….and slept at like 11+….and guess what????

June stayover( a super long post) part I

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

Here i am finally blogging….after not blogging for like close to a week….be prepared i have loads of things to write about…K now…let me recall…..

First,the stayover began with me,lennon and kiantat going to gabriel’s house on the 7th of june,thursday.The plan was this….lennon will stay for one night and go off cos have some family function thingy and kenny will come on fri,kinda like a substitude haha….then we will all leave on sunday after mass…but everything didnt go as planned….

We arrived around lunch time and when we came in saw his 2 sisters and him playing taboo in the living room….how weird…anyway…we were a little shy so we decided to went up to his room and ‘hide’ from his sisters and also continuing our conversation about the 6k gathering and the commotion about it….although i was not part of 6k, but being a normal person,curiosity aroused and made me want to know every single bit of what happened and all the juicy details…anyway i should not comment on that gathering…thereafter we began to watch some videos on youtube….some was very funny but some was sick too…what can u expect man….it’s lennon who’s controlling the mouse….haha…just kiddin…but i kind of enjoyed it..lol…then we went down to watch some sort of a drama serial called firefly …was quite stupid but funny…is about a bunch of angmohs who trys to use chinese as their 2nd lang but then most of the time we cant really figure out what they are trying to say…overall it was quite nice…then as uual we went to swim till dinner time…and watched Da Chang Jin…..then gabriel’s father came back from china i think with big umbrellas or rather huge ones…and gabriel liked it so much and said he wanted to bring it to school everyday…then his brother shooted…Are u mad? it’s so big..ppl will laugh at u …then the whole house broke into laughter…how dumb…anyway before we went to sleep, we watched Serenity…the movie sequel to the drama firefly…and was also told that we were going to go jamming tomorrow with Eugene Lee,Jared retzel and marcus tan…all SJI ppl…all i know but dont know whether they know me….wasnt really kenn but ya had no choice since we had nothing to do so we decided to went along…I soon fell asleep at ike 2+ as the movie was quite boring….

On the second day, we left home at 11+ and took a taxi to penisular plaza to meet them…it was quite awkward at first..since it was the first time we actually interacted with them although we knew each other…but as we started jamming and fooling around..the situation was less tense and awkward we began to sing the songs we know while some of them play their guitars and drums….overall it was quite fun la…at least we get to sing…and i m glad that i made friends with Marcus and Jared and Eugene…although the more successful one was with Marcus…thereafter we went to plaza sing to catch The omen….those three didnt want to catch it bcos they had to be home early or something like that..overall…the omen was OK…not really fantastic….not scary  but rather more of shocking..was a little disappointed…dont catch it if u havent..dont waste ur money….then we sent lennon off and welcomed kenny…hahaha…we were too full to have dinner since we had our lunch at like 4…so after waiting for kenny to finish dinner we went home and swam[again] till like 11+then after everyone bathed we had a very loooooooooooooooooooong game of Michiganpoly….i was winning at first having close to $ 4000 cash but then things started to change when they all began to buy credits and even diplomas…i cant possibly fight them since i had none of those kind of properties….at 3am we decided to take a break and go down to eat since we didnt take dinner….we searched the fridges and found yummies…pizza,durian cake,roast chicken,pies and many more….after that we went back to our game and eventually i lost to gabriel..or in fact every1lost to him….from $4000 i was ripped off till a pitiful $200…and in the end i went bankrupt and we stopped playing…then we all went to sleep at around 5am…i slept at the comfy bed in gab’s room while all the others squeezed at the playroom haha…dumb…in the end none of his bros came back and i had the whole room to myself with 2 empty beds…

On the third day….gab had tuition early in the morning…poor boy having only slept less than 3 hours…anyway we all woke up at around noon and had lunch in the kitchen since there was a function in the living room and dinning room…..then all of a sudden i received sms that lennon can come back again….yeah… and qingwei could come too…we left house at 2 for paradiz centre…gab had dental then he went to toapayoh to meet julian wong and other legionaries for legion chalet planning…didnt want to follow….were kinda like xtra…so we stayed at paradiz and played arcade while waiting for lennon to arrive….we wanted to play pool but then that auntie was so what la…say we underage…wth…say must 89 one than can…anyway they decided to play lan didnt waant to join them as firstly i m not lan kind of person secondly i dont know how to play lan and also i had never played lan…so decided to do physics hw while waiting for them….searched lennon bag and found no phy tys…awww….only have A math and E math TYS..since i finished all my math hw…and was sick and tired of it…i didnt want to practice it…then i found graph paper and decided to draw….i was so bored…and i drew everything within my sight…the + -x/ sign on the TYS the logo and signboard of shops…A3 logo and even the pattern on the railings….how interesting…..then after a gruelling one and a half hr of intense drawing qingwei arrived….finally someone to tok to…anyway we went home shortly after he came since gab was done with the planning and was heading home…finally…..when we reached home,we saw his bro starting the fire at the bbq pit…wow…we are having bbq..yea..so surprised…anyway assisted in the starting of fire and taking out the food..while waiting for food to be cooked for us…haha…we started a series of logic and code games….like 1 o clock 2 oclock 5 oclock 6 oclock what time is it?….guess….try to figure out…haha have fun…i took a very very long time to figure out….i was the last one to figure it out….haizzz…the ans is so easy..why must i always think in such a complicated way…another question is the how many meh meh jumped over the wall….and many more…then we swam again..i think…finally slept at 4….while all the others slept before three..since they were not interested in the very nice chinese show…

anyway…look at the time…i am too tired to continue….there are still 2 more days and lots to type…i shall continue tomorrow…madness man….haha….watch out for part II….

triple 6…good luck or bad sign??? Ironical???

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

It’s the 2006/06/06….the day….with triple 6….will it be a good or bad sign???

Basically as everyone knows(I suppose),the reason why triple 6 is associated with evil/omen/badluck/devil/satan….is because of the western culture or more accurately the Christian Faith(in general)…as according/stated in the bible,666 is a sign for Satan/evil…and rumors have been spreading that there is bound to be something bad coming our way on this particular date….but till right now when I m writing this post at 9.35pm according to the time on my com nothing has happened( I mean big disasters/shocking events) and Satan’s left with only less than 3 hrs to get us…haha…..hopefully god will bless us and nothing will happen tonight and we will remain safe….and not wake up to the end of the world tomorrow….

Anyway, the experts have already said that 2006/06/06 is just purely a date and a coincidence and has got nothing whatsoever to do with the 666 sign in the bible…..so to all the superstitious ppl out there….relax….its not going to be the end of the world…..u will still wake up in the morning tomorrow and find that nothing has changed and everything is still per normal just that your clock will show 2006/06/07…..

How ironical??? Today in Singapore something quite or rather very surprising took place at Fort Canning hill or park whatever u call it, ROM(in any case u don’t know what it stands for, it stands for Registry of Marriage….if u still don’t know what that means I suggest u go and kill yourself right now)….As any person with an intellect or in simple terms ‘brains’ would know that it is a place for couples to come together and be joined as husband and wife….A shocking 310 couples actually registered today….setting the highest record of no. of couples registering on a particular day…even more than on valentine’s day….breaking a 11 yr record…

What are they all thinking….are they mad or simply out of their mind….don’t they know that today is supposedly a bad/evil/unlucky day…The reasons they give….666..so many 6 easier to remember when coming to anniversaries….666 in hokkien is pronounced as ‘luck’ therefore ‘luck’ ‘luck’ ‘luck’ will give them a lot of luck…OK…..the only explanation for their actions is that they are all not superstitious ppl….but then once again they are superstitious….how ironical…….

Guitar rehearsals….

Guitar rehearsals are madness this week…we have like 4 or five rehearsals…this week and every rehearsal is like so damn long la….anyway on one of our rehearsal days.. we went to CHIJ katong convent together with the drama boys and indian dancers for the taming game production(an adaption from shakespeare taming of the shrew)…the school has a very old british cottagy 1800s countryside look…not very big but ya quite okay la…I dont understand why we are going there for rehearsal when eventually the performance will be held in our PAC…how dumb…anyway it is no doubt a very very large scale production involving a lot of ppl from the 2 schs..KC side ppl involved: Actors,30 ppl strong choir,malaydance club,moderndance club..SJI side..we ,the guitar ensenble, Indian dancers,theatre and drama exposure ppl the SEc 2s(the crew),old boys and actors from drama club…And planning for the production started all the way back since Jan this year…And also the tickets are v. v. v. ex…priced at 25 dollars per person and there will be a total of three shows…estimated no. of ppl involved 100 and above…and after watching the not quite ready rehearsals…I bet it will be a damn nice show…anyway most of the time we spent there is waiting and waiting for our turn…but of cos we didnt waste time and practiced and practiced while waiting for our turn…anyway just to mention their modern dance club is fantastic la…and their drinks sold in the canteen are damn cheap…

We also had another different rehearsal for the Labor Amoris guitar concert…we went to CJC and it will be held in CJC PAC…and we actually had a bus hired to send us to CJC from SJI…haha when its like damn mear la..within walkable distance…but i was actually glad as we have to carry our guitars and music stands along…before our seat was even warm we have reached CJC haha…anyway i think the present CJC building is quite old maybe even older than SJI’s juding on the decor and the state of it…and just to mention the toilet is pathetic lar..with only one cublicle and 2 urinals and when u push open the door of the toilet, its like only 5 cm away from the wall…and the canteen is also v small..we had lunch in CJC…food not bad what quite okay la…dont know why old Sji boys say the food sucks…anyway the PAC building and the main blk is like two totally different world la..one is like damn nice and new the other is damn old and not that nice…anyway the PAC is in fact quit new only one and a half yrs old…and when i stepped there is actually a very very new smell like those smell that u get when u  buy a new piece of furniture..(if u know what i m tokin bout) and i think the PAC is smaller than SJI’s since the population of the school is smaller since it’s a JC and has only 2 levels…It is mainly blue in colour even the curtains are blue,following their sch colour…dont think it’s nice…esp the curtains its like dull blue gives it a very old feel…anyway but the back stage is damn big..and nice..just to mention…the PAC is designed by the same designer who designed SJI’s so u can and will see many features that are similar with our PAC…And all i can say is that CJC’s guitar ensemble is damn pro compared to us la..its like they are suanning us when they call us to perform with them in the same concert..they sure will have the limelight la…anyway be expected to hear v. nice big ensemble pieces like Que sera sera,Sway and Minte and also tong hua(fairytales?)…Oops..am i allowed to reveal so much…heck la..and i also received tickets of the concert to sell to ppl i know and who are interested…sorry but to say that no free tickets are issued to anybody so i cant give it to u all for free..even parents of performers would also have to buy tickets..anyway..its only priced at $5 which is damn damn cheap for a 2 hr "world class" (haha) guitar concert..y the way there will be also smaller pieces performed by smaller groups or u call it bands and individuals.there will be electric guitar and i think drums and maybe keyboard and also singing in the smaller group performance..Oops i shall say no more….anyway if u are intersted to come for the concert..tell me, notify me or come and find me….it is only $5 and is held in CJC PAC on the fourtennth of july at night….I really hoped u will come…Close friends of mine be prepared…i will be haunting u to buy my tickets hahahaha…..

Ya and also today after coming back from KC(our third combined rehearsal) i did a good deed..i feel good…dadadadadada..haha…someone by the name of royston lost his phone when we were about to leave SJI to go home…he was like in a fluster… then he went to trace his footsteps…haha..i will also do that if it was me who lost my phone and furthermore his phone is a new phone la Nokia N70 lehz…3G phone damn ex…so i called Janet kwok to ask for the bus driver’s number(we suspect that its on the bus we took) and i called the bus driver..he said he will look for it and call me back..so in the meantime…royston was like so worried..keep running up and down…going to LT3 then coming back again and disappearing again…Anyway with the help of god, his phone was found by the bus driver and luckily the bus driver was a honest person…so he went to Bishan to look for the Uncle…i wanted to accompany him but i was too lazy…XD..anyway helping ppl just feels so good…
