Monday 24/7/06

School was boring(as usual)….nothing much….as usual simon ho our new math teacher(who looks like a student..and who ppl call gay) kana jack( is that how u spell it??) I happen almost everyday….sometimes I do pity him….fresh from NIE…the beginning of his teaching career….and he is already beng bullied and hated….sometimes i do wonder whether he actually realise whats happening around him….rushed chemistry hw for stupid kwang….although there isnt his lesson on monday….it all happened on thursday during chem lesson when he came in and said"take ur txtbks out…."

Many of us(including me) were like " shit……" cos we normally dont bring our chem txt since he hardly uses it and besides it damn thick and heavy….

And he said…" all those who didnt bring stand"…as though he knew beforehand that many of us didnt bring….maybe on our faces were the word "shit"…lol….lame….anyway almost more than half of the class stood up…haha…what a sight….so he was like lost for words haha….so he spent 35 mins of the lesson lecturing….he begin to ask individuals…."why did u bring ur txtbk?"….."why do u think u need a txtbk?"….."arent u all smart enough to do ur work without txtbk"…"how do u think we should punish those who didnt bring so nxt time they will remember to bring"…..bla bla…..when it was only 15 mins away from the bell…he said…."ok lets start the lesson now….I havent think of a good way to punish them yet….I will think bout it tomorrow…."

Isnt he just wu liao….wth right….wasting 35 mins out of a 50 min period…

so on friday he came in and throw us another surprise…but this time(only 3 of us)….he said take out ur assignment bk 2 and do the following exercises….three osf us were like shit….again….and just as he sat down,322 was walking pass…they just had chemistry lesson and i saw them holding what i need….the assignment bk…as i was sitted by the window…i was like…." Psss…..lend me ur assignment bk…..quick….." so i got hold of 3 bks and handed it to those who didnt have…I think kwang got suspicious and he began to go down the row and check every single txtbk and assignment bk….so he found out lor….and he consficated the books…..wth la…its not as if its ours…we borrowed it leh….we have a responsibility….he then said" tell them to come and find me if they want their book back"

So we conveyed the message….and guess what?….when they went to find him, he gave them a lecture….and said he will not return their books…..wth la….whats wrong with him….seriously i dont know…..and he told them to tell us to zap for them…..its like they always say josephians"man for others"….so when ppl do ask favours josephians are supposed to help right….so in lending a bk to help a person cross the tide….is correct what nothing wrong…..So because some of us didnt bring the assignment bk….he wanted us to hand up the work on monday as punishment lor…..

Anyway after school nicholas took my phone and wanted to play with it…i offered to key the pin code for him…he didnt want…so i was like fine…..dont play lor….but then he wanted to break it himself….what an idiot right…so he tried….and at the end of the 3rd time the code is now blocked….wth…and it needs the PUK code to unblock it…and i dont know my PUK code so that means i cant use my phone lor…..waste my time..need to call the operator….but i forgive him…I m a very magnanimous person..hahaha…lol….anyway matthew and wesley came up with Mr mat and Mr wes show a pirated mr brown show…hahaha….damn lame…..its the podcasts and trilogy or something la….for more details visit http://www.parowdy.blogspot.com/…. haha….. the post is getting too long….

So after that i went for track and field meeting at LT1….nothing much….thought it was humtump session but no….the real humptum session will be on friday….

Wednesday 26/7/06

kwang came in with the new regulations, for chemistry lesson or rather regulations for failure to bring chem books and hand in work on time,he came up with….this is what he came up with…

1. Failure to bring any material = to report to mr kwang before assembly at 7.15 outside staffroom for 1 month everysingle,regardless whether there is or isn lesson on that day

2. Failure to hand in work of time = Redo assignment and hand in the nxt day

3. everyone to bring back all chem related stuffs after every lesson…..will conduct spot checks

I personally think the rules he came up with is simply dumb……just like he himself is…..

anyway after school has mentor thingy with gabriel where we are mentors to the sec1s DSA ppl to help them in their studies…they are our mentees….mine was very much of a coincidence……both of our mentees were in track and gab and i were in field…so together we form track n field…hahaha….our meeting place was the school beurel(library) at 2.30….so we waited for them…but they didnt come….while waiting for them….we chat…and I read gabriel’s story…..i think he’s an aspiring writer….haha…..he’s story really looks and feels like a story….his story is very story lor..haha….nvm….i can actually picture out the scene…that means he is successful….i will never be able to write one myself…too difficult…english noy that pro….what do u expect….he’s from TDP (talent development programme) English….so we waited……until 4….when we gave up….they will not be here…so we packed up and left the beurel…when we passed by the hall, we realise that some thing was going on….so we went to check it out…and found out that it’s the aero…bla bla thingy going on….the cbs schs were there….involves making rockets from plastic bottles and shooting it….ya something like that….and we were then told that sec1s were involved….wth….waste my tme….after that wanted to go and support my class at the LT for the humanities quiz….but then the back doors were locked….didnt want to enter from the front very malu….since they had already started and were like halfway through already……gabriel then went for his TDP chem….yes u r right….gabriel is in 2 TDP programme….smart right….have nothing to do then decided to go home….

Thursday 27/7/06

I dont know why but i am beginning to hate kwang more and more….this is what happened after physics SPA(school based pratical assesment)…..

We went for chem pratical lesson after phy SPA….we were already like close to 10 mins late as our SPA started late…so when our whole class is down at the lab…kwang arrived…he went in and said….stay outside…then he went around the whole lab checking all the sinks…then he came out…hey u( i dont know who he called)..go to 321 now and call the class comm members down….I thought what happened….they dirtied the sinks and didnt clear it…though its correct to tell them not to do this but wasting/sacrificing our time is WRONG….esp when we were already running out of time….So he PMSed [again]….I think menopause is close…had been irregular..hahaha….so the whole class comm of 321 came down and kana scolded then they clean the sinks while we wait outside(doing nothing)…according to him…the moral of the story…Do not do things u do not want others to do on u….is right…but not in this application…it’s just weird….

Anyway during math….halfway through the lesson simon ho said…ting soon pull down ur pants….the whole class( or maybe me) was like har??? i thought i heard it wrongly….hahahahaha…sounds damn wrong…pull down ur pants….lol….he was actually referring to ting soon and his folded pants that now look like lower sec shorts…..Bio lesson was slack….all stories and jokes cos 19 of us have to go for medi/health checkup….and i was 1 of them….I realised after the check up that the nurse was the same one that i had last yr…apparantly she forgotten me…she took a look at my baby record…mmmmhhh u are quite a big baby…lol…ahahah

After school was CCA guitar meeting or rather party as the teachers call it…It turned out like anything but a party….though the food was great…

4 large canadian Pizzas….

But drinks….a 1.5 litre sprite…for the whole club 30 ppl…wow…..damn a lot….anyway after eating was the announcing of the new exco for 2007….the stepping up and down….It was announced "President of yr 2007 for GEC……..(background music…light dimmed…hahaha) thaddeus sim….then we all clapped…suddenly 1 sec 1 blurted out……whos thaddeus……damn malu….hahahaha…wth….7 months have passed and some of the sec 1s still dont know thaddeus….but cant blame them lar…thaddeus is very quiet….unlike me….hahaha…actually i m very quiet too…i THINK….hahaha….so it was vice president….belmond lee…no surprise…i expected it….since my name wasnt read earlier on….I wanted to be pres but than i figured out being able to clinch vice pres. when the cca is ur 2nd cca is considered an achievement….I think its most probably that GEC is his 1st CCA while GEC is my 2nd( janet kwok calls it concubine)…anyway the rest of the exco names were announced….secretary: Reuben( was a little surprised not bcos i think he’s not up to dat post but bcos he only joined this yr and is like quiet(maybe) hahahaha)….vice secretary: Kiantat……..Section leaders were announced too….

Basically heres it….

SJI GEC(Guitar Ensemble Club) 2007

President: Thaddeus Sim

Vice President: Belmond Lee ( thats me)hahaha

Secretary: Reuben Lim

Vice secretary: Lim Kiantat

Section 1 leader: Thaddeus Sim

Section 2 leader: Jare’el

Section 3: Reuben( i think not v sure)

I was so glad that i wasnt 1 of the section leaders as 1 of their responsiblities or job is to learn the pieces beforehand and teach ppl….and my guitar isnt exactly great….hahaha…thaddeus…hahaha…i pity him….after the announcing we were suppose to watch kindred but then our room cannot receive…got problem….wanted to go to nxt door…but then drama have part there…so co-incidental…..so we were dismissed early after some other briefing….went to check their party out….there were actually decorations…WOW….and it was lively…though the food(do they have in the 1st place) was ahem….and guess why their party feels like a party while ours dont…the difference is or the crux lies in the organiser of the party…Ours: Teachers….Theirs: students…..maybe nxt time as VP i will organise a PARTY….hahahaha

anyway this is our newly furnished room( formal LT3…havent come up with the name yet)( it looks more of a dance studio…reminds me of ballet…long full length mirrors)

Friday 28/7/2006

During morning assembly we were told by Bro. Mike that Jonathan Leong,one of the singapore idol top 12, is an old boy from SJI….and he said everybody should support him by voting once while those in fencing(he used to be in fencing) should vote at least 10….haha…anyway i wont vote la….cos i seriously dont like him….i dont like his voice too….dont know why ppl say his voice is so that great…to me…it’s OK….

There’s an ongoing marrying thing in class nowadays….haha…here are the couples…Thaddeus and Kevin(just married)….Matthew and Weijin(once married)(just divorced)( still available)….wonder who will matthew eye nxt….stay tune to find out…..friendster reporter,belmond lee signing off…..hahahaha….today’s the CBS visit where all the P6 boys from all the 4 feeder schools came and visit our school…all maybe most of the UGs are involved….our class being a UG dominated class is like halfed….very empty lor…During chem which is kwang’s period the UGOs came back as the boys werent here yet…..they werent suppose to bring any books….so some came totally unprepared or unequipped with chem stuffs……then kwang wants to punish them…..wth…….never give chance….its like not their fault what….they were told that they need not bring any books…..so now the UGOs who didnt bring have got to report to him with the related stuffs for 1 month every single day…….poor thing….even when the NCC land CSM came to explain…he didnt accept….and insisted on carrying out his punishment…he say…oh we must be prepared for contingency….bla bla….bullshit la…

SS lesson nevina ho came in half an hr late….hahaha….we have half a free period….reason why she’s late…she thought today was thursday and looked at the wrong day timetable…lol….after school was late for track n field meeting….i forgot they push the time forward to 230….and at 2.45 i was still happily doing my assignment in class…so when i see the foyer empty…I was like "shit….."…the post-mortumn(is dat how u spell it)/humtump session was actually ok….it turned out fine…no one got scolded….just a lot of reflections and reflections…..after meeting went down to canteen for lunch than went to the annex together with yong jie to do the outstanding simon ho’s math assignment…was supposed to be done yesterday at home…but was too tired and lazy to do….dunno why….when we were in the annex, 2 mechanical technincians came in…..wa liew….stinked the whole room la…smell like salted fish + alot of bla bla….damn smelly lar….then all the teachers who came in was like" oh my god….whats that stench" then we will ans the technicians….so we need to open the windows for better ventillation(to remove the stench)…oh ya..timothy and friends were there too….watching match and doing outstanding assignments too i guess…..lennon and friends dropped by too….asked me whether want to join them for dinner…said no….its friday i m broke….haha…finally at 6 i finished the assignment..whooosh man….just in time….

I didnt bother to wear or rather find one to wear for today….I mean an ethnic costume…Its like….I reckon it wouldnt be easy to find one that can fit me…unless i approach maybe shawn suran….haha…I seriously wonder where he buy all his clothes from??? I always have difficulty finding clothes that are comfortable(I mean too big for me)…Sounds impossible but i do have some….haha….anyway…I was prepared to give the answer" Dont have my size" if tracy goh do ask me….what can she do….this will shut her up man…So when i reached school…saw many ppl in costumes of different races…Chinese,Malay,Tamil,Japan,Indonesian,Vietnam,Arab….and many others…It was kinda nice….many was cheapskate la…only wore a sarong over their school pants…But who am I to criticise them…when me myself didnt even attempt…watever….So day started off with all the normal timetable which includes PE…which i seriously do not enjoy….as PE =2.4 or PE = 6 laps….imagine every single PE lesson is 2.4….wa liew….And whatmore today i received news that i wish i hadnt….I m down for real run….me    real run    no way…..so i tried to negotiate with Rohan…so i ask

Me: "what if i dont go???"

Rohan: "oh u must pay for the consequences lor…"

Me: " What are the consequences??? Is it heavy???"

Rohan: " No la….not at all just pieces of pink and yellow paper…."

And so he win lor….threaten me with pink and yellow forms….win lor…he good…and what more…I have to be down for all the 3 practice runs….and is at SENTOSA….and i m staying at choa chu kang….and i have to be there BY 730am….On a SUNDAY…..WTH la……means what? i have to leave house at 6???Madness man…..So now i have no choice but to go down all the way to SENTOSA on a SUNDAY MORNNG for 3 WEEKS….waste my time man….as if i would win the race after running the practice runs….The PE dept is evil man….

After which was SS lesson….and Mrs Ho came in at 10 minutes late and said to the class….."I forgot to get a relief for ur class….and i have to be downstairs at the parade square for the bazzar thing….So how??? Should i set u all some owrk to do cos the show will only be coming out at 1050 and there is like 20 minutes…."

The whole class went " NO…………."          (HAHA)

then she said : "But then u all will make noise if u have nothing to do…."

Class: No…la….we wont….we will be silent….      (ya right)

She: " Ok…fine..I wont set u all work….but then if Goh Poh Kenn comes around….pretend to do ur work….and if she ask where Mrs ho is….say i m in the toilet….pls…pls…"                (HAHAHAHAHA)

Class: " OK….set….No problem…."

Ting soon: " toilet do what ???"

whole class broke into laughter

HO: "…hahaha…..er…u can come with me to find out…want?"   (HAHAHHAHAH)

Ting soon shook his head so hard as though it was coming off…..hahahaha….

Before she left….

Ho: "So if Goh Poh Kenn comes and ask where Mrs Ho is…"

Class: "toilet……"           (HAHAHAHAHAHHA)

So we played hangLAM (hang man for 335 inspired by our "dearest" physics teacher Mr Eric LAM)….So Ting Soon and Elian started to give questions that are either damn lame or damn easy…..Bored…I went back to my seat to listen to my Mp3….And in the end…the whole class didnt want to watch the movie….so we didnt….anyway heard it was Hotel Rwanda….Sianz…watch b4 liao….

Finally it was recess time…Went down to Parade Square and watched the Sec 2s Talentime….haha…not bad la….quite funny….though some were retarded….I shall not mention names….then it was the  inter class costume competition for sec1s  and 4s….damn funny….hahahahaha….ate alot of stuff….spend alot of money…..first it was Thiagu who came with the Indian cracker stuffs…$1 i bought it…then he ask whether i wanted teh tarik….I said yes…If u can deliver…I was to lazy to move as i was in a very good position to view the items and furthermore i had a table to sit on…So he delivered and i bought it…50 cents….after that i went to another stall 2get Bandung…50cents…then i went to indian stall to get 2 of the kueh….$1…needed water so went to canteen bought Fruittree….80 cents…then i went back for a lollipop….50cents….In total i spent $4.30….thats like damn alot…and its without counting lunch…anyway there was 1 particular performance that really sucked…the singing part…sorry to that group…I shall not mention names…but they know who they are…To them: sorry but this is what i really feel….nxt time choose a better singer..he cant sing for nuts…everybody was like laughing at him lar….I give him 100 marks for courage….I applaud him…I dont possess that…. but for his singing…I shall not comment…

Recess ended at 1230 but i was only back at 1240….and it was chinese and the teacher gave out the comprehension practice we did….I got 26/28….damn…lost to wesley by 1 mark….after that was crappy PSE with intense card shooting exercise….

And the bell rang….school ws over…..Yea….And that means i must decide whether to go or not to go training….Asked many of the throwers during recess and before school….all of them say not going but there would be training….so when i come out of the toilet…I met roderick our throwing captain….he said there will not be training but must stay back….he said coach will be leaving singapore for China….and we will have a new coach….this sudden news totally shocked me….I thought he was kidding…this cant be la….why is coach leaving all of a sudden??? Nevertheless…Its true…..Coach arrived at 3+ and with him was an Indian Coach that looks very familiar…..Oh ya….He’s the beer Kaki of Coach…I remember seeing them drinking beer during NATIONALS…..hahaha…..both also have beer belly….but dont belittle him….He was a gold silver and bronze medallist of SEA games when he was in his prime….WOW….thats how i reacted when i heard that from coach too…SEA games….South East Asia Games…..dont play play….hahaha….so we had a debrief of the whole nationals….why we didnt perform that well esp the juniors….had reflections and discussions too….then in the midst of the debrief….another chinese man came along….he was then introduced to us as our coach….WHAT….2 coaches???? 1 for 2 hahaha….anyway he’s a jump coach but will assist in throwing too…I think its probably due to the indian coach not beig able to come down every session….He is like damn strict la…or stern or fierce….we cracked some jokes during the debrief…every1 was laughing…even the indian coach…but he did not laugh….not even smile at all….wth la….we will have a " good time ahead man…."….even roderick said….good luck to u all man….wa liew…..

After that we went to the shed to cleanup the store…then when we arrived there we saw 2 cameras and a calibrator that looks damn big and nice la( the sort of structure that u will expect to find in the science centre)….damn ….should have took pics….the whole set up looks damn professional lor….and we are instructed not to touch or move the cameras at all cos they have already caliberated the whole thing already…once it moves…they will have to calibrate it all over again….finally found out that they were sports science ppl from NTU….they are here for Perscilla….my female senior…now in CJC J2….i was like for what??? oh….she got champion for A div Shotput….WOW…. she broke the record….WOWWOW….she threw…11.5+m….WOWWOWWOW….and she will be representing singapore for ASEAN……WOWWOWWOWWOW…..I didnt know Perscilla was so pro la…i dont know alot of things i admit….haha…and they are here to take some very pro pictures of Perscilla and will be studying her….her inclination…her angle of release…her way of throwing la….damn shiok lor….so envious….the camers is able to take 50 frames per second….that means it will be able to capture every single detail of her movement….so after that we cleaned the shed….It was so so so so "clean"….after that watched a little rugby and went home….

Reached home….was informed that we will be going out for dinner…and its Jack’s Place…haha….yea…..so i bathed and changed quickly….and we went to West coast recreation centre izzit? someplace beside clementi stadium….Wew had escargot first…haha…i ate the most….then my main course was a T steak medium….yummy yummy…was nice and very filling…after that had chocolate icecream topped with fresh cream,some nuts and almond….yummy too….and then went home

this is all for my day….

Honestly and truthfully….I didnt enjoy the food at all….Its like…erm….who will enjoy PLAIN porridge and PLAIN water??? Not me definitely….but overall the whole dining thing was a very special experience…No doubt about that….anyway after that there is a activity that requires us to build the tallest building using newspapers and strings….and i was the only 1 who is free of all disabilities…and the only one that is able to speak….so ya…i was kinda like the leader…Trust me…Its difficult communicating without speaking….now we feel how the mute feels…anyway so we found a loophole in the activity and went straight into it…they didnt specify we cant make use of people….haha…So being the biggest and tallest one…I was used….I was like being wrapped up with newspapers from head to toe….my "costume" includes a crown and a scelpture…what do u call it….nvm…basically its a replica of the statue of liberty….U can imagine it urself…i m sure i look damn funny…wonder if papa bear took photos??? hopefully ….then i can post it….haha…but in the end they say we were disqualified…wth right….they praise our creativity and thank us for our effort but say we could not win….nvm…most importantly is that we had fun right? After that was the briefing on the journey tomorrow…my group will be going to the Metta daycare Centre…or something like that la…so we practiced items that we will be putting up for them there….After that was supper and Sleep….

Day 4

As usual we wake up for morning PT….but this time round…its in school….its damn slack lar….only stretching and thats all…no running….so we went back to our room and changed into full school U for photograph taking….after quick breakfast of fishballs and beehoon….we had to leave for Journey…all of a sudden stupid thaddeus came and tell me that i must go for Guitar rehearsal and i must skip Journey….wth right…Journey is like the most meaningful activity of the whole LLTC la….but no choice Janet kwok called and say i must go for rehearsal no matter what….so i had to give Journey a miss…I was like so sad la…damn bad…not fair….so i had rehearsals at the LT and PAC….Taming Game production….playing like a song that i can literally close my eyes and play without any difficulty…..anyway after rehearsal I and thaddeus went to the library to join the rest of the camp for De-Brief….Rehearsals were long and tiring….the ncc air boys also leave at that time for some spec course…poor thing…another camp….haizz…anyway they didnt get to graduate from the camp…sad….anwyay after de brief was showers….in between showers we had free time…and crazy sean used a small towel to make different "clothings"….miniskirt and bikini….haha…lol….the last dinner was damn good….buffet style but it was served….nevertheless the food was good….after dinner had the Solidarity Lasallina thing….where each of the group will have a large jigsaw piece to pen down our thoughts and what we learnt from this camp either in words or pictures….then we combined all 4 pieces of the jigsaw in service house….and we walked quietly to the hall….and on the route to the hall,part of the route was lit with candles….damn nice right??? trying to cultivate an ambience….but since our house was the 3rd house to go up, most of the candles are extinguished….why cant ppl just walk slowly and gently….??? So in the hall, we placed the 4 pieces of jigsaw together with all the other houses completing a full 16 pieces one…very meaningful la….In the hall, it was total silence….and the lights were off….rows and rows of banana leaves were seen on the floor….and everyone sat down behind one…On the banana leaf, there were 5 things….a small piece of rock sugar, a small piece of bittergourd, a halfed lime, a plain rice cake and a cup of plain water….It was supposed to remind us and let us think about the sweet,bitter,sour and plainness we experienced in our lives…and the cup of plain water is to neutralize everything and renews us and symbolizes a new life/beginning….After the solemn part of the activity, we had songs and trust me everybody was like damn high….we were like crazy…we stood up and put our hands on each others shoulders and formed a super duper long line….Imagine the whole camp including all the facils and teachers….then we jumped around and dance to the song and shake our asses…haha….

After the songs was finally the time for affirmations to be presented or delivered to everyone of us…from our facils, we received our affirmation bag where any and everyone is allowed to write affirmations for ppl and "dump" it there…I got mine…Quite bulky…haha…So many ppl wrote for me la….like 20+….and i only wrote for 12 ppl….I felt damn bad lor…So i decided to write for every single person who wrote for me affirmation….and thats like 10+ more….was lazy…but felt reallly bad so i wrote….and its a long one to everyone…taking up the whole paper…they should provide bigger pieces of paper…haha…so i started writing frantically…sean too was writing frantically to every1 who wrote for him…and then the teachers want us to write for 3 more ppl that we know better or want to know better in this camp…so i chose Jian Fei, Alastair and Hansel….I dont know why i wrote to this particular 3….but when i heard the requirements…this 3 came to mind immediately….and bcos of this, i received more affirmations(again)….and what does this implies….more replies….and among those i was surprise to receive jian fei’s affirmation….haha…great minds think alike….haha….he felt the same way as me….anyway i had a great time reading the affirmations i received….laughing out loud at almost every single one…and when i delivered my affirmation to Alastair….He offered me a hug….it was just so unexpected….haha..but i hugged him…..and he later on said i was squishy…v. nice to hug….hahaha….lol….after finally finishing all the affirmations and delivering it….I went to the "party" up at 334…and i was glad i went late and missed the flasher…(there was a guy from ST. Pats FLASHING….yes literally….showing his not so great..ahem….to everyone who went in….)It’s not as if he has a damn great body to show off…like washboard abs…and even if he have…its the wrong place to show in a room full of guys…what can we infer from this??? he’s desperate??? he’s too high??? or is he just simply out of mind???anway the party was ok….cant expect much right???Its an illegal one…there were some drinks, chips and chocolate….went to other groups…wanted to play dai di…but was chased off by facils….see what will happen nxt time when i become a facil….hahaha….so went to sleep la…cant remeber what time i sleep….

Day 5

As usual, woke up for morning PT or rather hw…..went to canteen…to do hw while they were at Macritchie….didnt manage to do much….was (like always) talking to ppl….was surprised they came back so early….think was due to the weather….heard tht they didnt even run….went there rain and came back…haha….damn dumb….so while they were showering….I went to tok to coach and juniors…..they were down for training….i hate bagpipers…..or rather its the sound of the bagpipes i hate….so damn loud and further more it sounds horrible…..absolutely horrible….Its like mourning for the dead lar….so after that was breakfast….and breakfast was so little and i began to bite my plate( not cos i was hungry)…was trying to make an "art piece"….hahah….after that was the final 7th habit….was boring as usual….was falling asleep when the session ended…..after that was the lasallian awards briefing….I really want to get the gold lasallian award byt i am lacking in some of the criteria…but luckily the deadline for the lasallian award journal is nxt yr….and that means i have 1 year to fulfil the requirements…..after that was lunch…and mega summary back at LT1….where we viewed a ppt where pictures of candid moments were shown….haha…..everybody had a hearty laugh….wish all the pics taken will be available to us man….I will definitely post it man….anyway after that was songs….and back to our respective classes to pack and clean up…..i was done in a jiffy and went to other classes to KPO….hahaha….

Finally at around 5 it was time for commissioning and closing for the camp….We each received a cup and was lead to the parade square where we sat together with our group and according to houses in circles….in the middle of the circle is a big bowl…3/4 filled with water…it is also the time when we read our personal mission statement to the rest of the group….and after doing so we will pour the water into the pot…my personal mission statement was the longest la….haha…So in order to not bore ppl i cut it short….anyway after everyone was done….all the pots…16 in total…were brought to the centre of the parade square where a bigger pot is….in the bigger pot there were alot of LLTc badge…after pouring all the water into the big pot,the big pot overflow with water…the water symbloizes something but i cant remember…..ya so after that was presentation of the badges….and oh ya….my LLTC shirt was nice but was very small….haha…must lose weight…so that when i go back to facilitate i can fit into that shirt better and not feel so uncomfortable(when even all the ppl i ask said it was fine)…..I m just used to wearing very broad clothes….then we sang songs for closing ceremony….where we again put our hands on each other’s shoulders and sway and sing at the same time….and then was home sweet home…..I really enjoyed the whole camp experience very very X100 much…..and i reallyX100 hope that i will be chosen to be a facilitator…..

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…

To be continued in Part III…..

Really really sorry i havent been updating as i was so so so busy….so ya just be patient….I still have lots to blog about….Like Kindred Spirits,Taming game and bla bla…so ya be patient…..I will try  to blog when i have the time..I have written all of it down already so ya…just wait….

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…..

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????

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….

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 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…

Was awoken by mom at 12…haha…quite eary still for me….i can like sleep till 2 if no one disturbs me or off my air con…anyway she called me up to bathe and get ready to go shopping for my costume for the guitar concert…

First stop….IMM…I dont know why she brought me there but ya i was there and we began with Giant…found pants… found shirt….YEA…. but not my size….ended up buying some sort of nut for cornflakes…then went out of Giant and into a shop that sells shoes…saw many leather shoes…like one a lot but there isnt my size..dissapointed…. went into a shop that sells shirts called F.O.S…hoping that there is the white long sleeved shirt and long black pants…pants…not my size..shirt yes…a little too small… not satisfied with the shirt so ended up not buying it but bought a shirt for casual wear that i like and it was so big…haha…so delighted to find a shirt that is so big

Next stop….Westmall since it was quite nearby(we were at jurong in case u didnt know where IMM is) and there is a BATA outlet…might be able to find shoes there…saw tom and stefanie store… went inside…wow so many shirts and pants…took 5 long sleeved whit shirts to try on in fitting room ignoring the sign on the door saying" max 3 pieces of clothing allowed" and a lady who was staring at me…1 by 1 i put it on and i took it off…in the end not even 1 was big enough…the one in F.O.S was like much bigger…beginning to regret…Then we went to Bata saw so many leather shoes….like so many of them and after like staying for 40 mins and trying countless pairs only 1 is big enough….and guess what? it is priced at 100 bucks..thats like damn expensieve considering the fact that i m just buying it for a concert and would only be wearing it for like maybe 3 times…quite reluctantly…my mother told the staff to reserve it for us at another outlet as there is a bigger size at the other outlet….

3rd and last stop(finally)…bukit timah shopping centre….surprised why am i going to such a rundown shopping centre that doesnt even look like 1…well here’s the answer…to visit my tailor the same one i have for my school U…have no choice but to turn to a tailor to have the costume done….haizz…i asked whether they sell white long sleeved shirt and surprisingly they said yes and it’s only 12 dollars…so darn cheap la…and what more there is my size…hahaha..but then the pants is x…50 for one pair…worth it? what do u think? anyway made measurements and rushed to the car as mom did not put coupon…passed by a shop…mum decided to try for one last time..asked the old lady whether there is my size for the leather shoes displayed….in less than like 5 secs the old lady turned up with a pair that looks big…without any further ado i put it on…and it went in……yes it did….i can wear that shoe…..finally….and what more it was only 55… 45 bucks cheaper than the one in Bata….thtas why there is a saying old ginger is still the hottest( a direct translation frm chinese)

What a day….and i still would not be able to have the ful atire by thurs…the tailor said the fastest is 10 days….omg….hopefully some of them also cant get their attire by thurs…i dont want to be the only one in uniform…..
