I realise I have been leaving this blog dead for so damn long.

Anyway, so much has happened for the past month. So much laughter, so much tears, so much regret, so much sacrifice and so much more and more.

I think one of my biggest takeaways this month is the experience of being a trainer. It's a growing up experience that, kinda, let me understand a little bit more about what my seniors went through guiding me along when I was preparing for Comp back then, so many years ago.

It's a strange feeling to have when you almost cry on stage (AT THE ROSTRUM) when you announced that your school has won the category. It's also another strange feeling that you feel like crying when you see some of your kids crying after losing.

It's another experience altogether thinking and owrryign and trying to get them to pull themselves together. Heart-wrenching moments on facebook and msn looking at their emo statuses.

It has been a week, and so far most of them are already back on the path. Hopefully they'll walk well for the next few months to come =)

MBTI!

2010-03-20T17:37:00.003+08:00

Kaijie's MBTI prompted me to post mine, which I took a few weeks back, here.

You are: The Executive (ENTJ)

ENTJs take charge quickly and deal directly with problems, especially in situations that involve confusion and inefficiency. They provide structure to the organizations to which they belong and design strategies to accomplish their personal and organizational goals. They develop broad, action-oriented plans, and supply the necessary energy and momentum to see that these plans are accomplished. ENTJs are "take charge" people who organize their own, and others', external environments. They do not take "no" for an answer; instead, they use their resources to find a way to meet the challenge. They are at their best in using their analytical and strategic thinking.

I got lazy of pasting all the load of words and got further reminded of blocks (discussing econs with Derek now). Check out facebook MyType to find out more...

MALAY DANCE!!!

2010-02-25T20:17:00.004+08:00

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

Arts Fest is already going to be my LAST DANCE ITEM :O
Time flies too fast!

From last year's SYF Zapin Tiong Hwa, to the Inang, to the Tari Topeng, and now Arts Fest.

I realise time is really too short for me to enjoy my (short) Malay Dance life in HCI. But I did reap the necessary benefits (:

Like such as going for Youth Leadership Dance Camp and learning about all the different genres with all the pros from other schools (esp. with Mdm Som Said and Mrs Bhaskar. Honoured!!)

Having my FIRST SYF experience and getting Gold =D

Competing in a small-scale competition as the only non-Malay team, and receiving lots of encouragement from our Malay counterparts.

Exploring the contemporary realms of Malay Dance.

Just one last regret: after learning so much from the Dance Camp, I never got the chance to choreo my own item. Lots of ideas but no avenues to express them. That's something I really hope to do one day. =)

what?

2010-02-04T22:43:00.002+08:00

It's odd for me to realise that other than homework I'm really too tired to get myself involved in anything else.

I don't know if it's conscious or sub-conscious, but apparently I'm getting my homework done, which is good (:

But that really doesn't mean that my grades are getting better. I'm still not confident.

2010-01-18T22:54:00.001+08:00

I am very affected by the loss of my precious, less-than-2-months old thumbdrive and the orange bear which went along with it. =(

Preoccupied

2010-01-10T23:20:00.003+08:00

I need OUT.

Think too many things are occupying my mind space that I can't exactly concentrate on any piece of work I need to do.

Time to prioritise and put some effort into completing all my work on schedule.

Cheers, yufan!

(:

(ohmygoodness what kind of self-encouragement is this=.=)

2010-01-09T23:23:00.003+08:00

What was I writing?

And to think that I was on quite a positive note for the Corps. Guess that I'm starting the new year on a very wrong note.

But, better late than never.

And it shouldn't go any later.

患难见真情

2009-12-15T18:24:00.003+08:00

I think this is what being in a Uniformed Group is all about.

This year hasn't been a fantastic year. The Corps didn't exactly do so fantastically well in various aspects, such as competition, camp trainings, administrative duties etc.

Die.

But it's probably because of this "near fatal" experience that really brought everyone back and closer together, and showed what being in St. John really means.

For one, I have never seen my juniors being so committed to save the Corps. I always lived under the impression that HCISJAB has been on the decline all the while. I'm glad that these bunch of people proved me wrong. They have really shown me what it means to be passionate and concerned about CCA, because this will not only impact themselves but all 77 men of our Corps. I guess it will be quite safe to have the Corps in their hands now =)

What impressed me further was how seniors were willing to sacrifice their own time and come back to help with training and admin duties, even to the extent of gong for Public Duties. I am gladthat even though they have left the Corps, they did not forget what the Corps has done for them. This is the epitome of 饮水思源.

Even if our Corps failed in anything else, I am glad that this will be one thing that we can all be proud of. That we don't need to proclaim "Brotherhood" everywhere we go but show what true spirit means in times of crisis.

2009-11-16T13:37:00.000+08:00

My eyes hurt, so much then when I close my eyes I feel like I'm in heaven.

Preparing for OP is not good for the eyes.

And why don't I seem to see you around anymore? Where did all of you go?

guailan day

2009-10-31T23:30:00.002+08:00

Today was an absolutely guailan day.
Guailan.

Morning, woke up guailanly by sending an email first thing in the morning.
Managed to push PW meeting off to tomorrow because I know I have things on, which is damn guailan cos I hardly do such things.
Did my scripts though, which actually is also quite guailan.

Supposed to meet junweng at 1340 but apparently his tuition guailanly ended 1 hour earlier.
As a result I had to jump into some random clothes, no time to do hair and just went straight for AMK.
Lunched, and after that ate random deserts (BEANCURD + CHARSIEW PAU, SERIOUSLY) and I don't know how we managed to sit htere and talk for so long in that hot room, which is guailan.
His mum came, and somehow everything just ended abruptly guailanly.
Especially it ended at a guailan time around 4+.

So I made the guailan choice by going home, even though I need to leave within like an hour + time to go esplanade.
Despite the heavy rain, I guailanly decided to go.

Sat there and watched the malay dance. totally unimpressed. guailan.

wayang topeng next. I don't know what made me so guailan to sit there with the rest of the illiterate population of Singapore even though it said "cancelled due to unfavourable weather". Obviously everyone's still hoping for the best, but I don't know what gave me the passion to sit there for 45mins just to watch wayang topeng.
(Oh, but it was nice when everyone clapped like mad when they decided to carry on)

wayang topeng. and i was feeling absolutely guailan because it was like 8+ and I haven't had dinner.

and i dun even noe why im writing all this here on my blog which has never been used as a "diary".
perhaps im feeling guailan.

and then i guailanly made all my guailans guailanly red.

I'm missing you

2009-10-31T00:19:00.003+08:00

THIS is normally what happens after a camp.

I can't put my thoughts in words.
I guess I'm really privileged to be selected for this camp, even though Malay Dance has only officially became part of my life this year.
And through this camp, I have learnt that dance is not just about moving your arms and legs; it is also about how you should be as a person, about an individual/a culture's value system, how discipline and leadership can make a difference, and above all, how passion can drive.

Classical Ballet
Modern Ballet
Hip Hop
Contemporary Classical
Asian Fusion
Spatial Awareness
Street Funk
Indian Classicial
Malay Dance
Hip Hop (again)
I'm listing them down because I don't want to forget.

I don't know how long I can survive in Malay Dance... I mean, being one of the few Chinese doing Malay Dance isn't exactly an easy feat. And even if I sign up for courses outside of school, I might not exactly find one that I can fit in culturally.

But this camp's exposure is not just about learning of techniques... Above it all is a message about passion and about values. It's just like back in St. John, where even though we teach First Aid and Footdrill, what is even more important are the intangibles that you ultiamtely bring away after 4 years of cadet life.

I'm glad I bravely signed up despite my PW (sorry guys). I think this is something that when I grow older, I will look back and acknowledge it as part of the happiest moments of my life.

Special acknolwedgements to all Malay Dancers who have helped me sooooooo much in builidng up my basics to bring back to Hwa Chong.

Also, thanks to:
Jun Weng
Alex
Wei Heong
Li Heng
Junming
Kelvin
Kyong
Lorena
Nasyiba
Idah
Ardella (u'll probably never get to read this)
Indah
Shafiyyah
Linah
Jasmine
etc.
for the good company and friendship.

Thanks to:
Mr. Peter Gn
Mrs. Debbie Chow
Mdm Som Said
Ms. Pei Shan
Mrs. Bhaskar
Ms. Sharon Low
Ms. Kavitha Krishnan
and all other instructors
for your meticulous efforts and teachings.

Ultimately, to all readers: Be proud of what you're doing, even if others do not appreciate your work. No guts, no glory.

Youth Leadership Dance Camp - Day 1

2009-10-27T20:33:00.002+08:00

TOP 10 RESPONSES TO A CHINESE BOY IN MALAY DANCE
(no ranking order)

1) *Shocked expression*

2) "OMG you're in MALAY DANCE?"

3) "But... why Malay Dance?"

4) "Oh.... =)"

5) "Serious?"

6) *Ooh expression*

7) "Wow you're in Malay Dance?"

8) "How come you like Malay Dance?"

9) "Oh my god?"

10) "I salute you!"

Anyway, I think today was the first time I missed school in all of my 17 years of life to attend a MOE camp.

The camp totally exceeded my expectations.

Classical Ballet, Modern ballet, Hip Hop. 1.5h each in ONE day.

It was so much my calves kinda hurt a little right now. And don't even mention my back and right arm. But it was fun la!

What's more important is to observe their teaching styles and the leadership in controlling a class of like near-90 people. That's imba.
AND compare it to the discipline (or lack thereof) during malay dance training.

Even the facilitators, like Ms. Debbie Heng, who's forever hyped-up, never stage-shy, knows exactly what to say, never stumbles upon her words and is just forever getting the ball rolling. If I have half her speaking ability I will get a confirmed A for my OP!

Also, I got to see first-hand the definition of pro: people like Chua Yi Yi and Tan Jia Ling. I don't intend to do that kind of stretching. Ever. I think my joints will split into two.

Tomorrow, I intend to look for people like Nasyiba or Shasha to brush up on my Malay dance basics =).
For now, if you would excuse me, I will need to update my reflections log.

with fresh blood dripping from my fingertips.

WAHAHAHAHAHAH WR I'VE MURDERED YOU W00TS.

I guess I will never experience the kind of fun and high that I can get from doing PW with my groupmates after this year. So treasure it and treaure your PW times, people!

Great Day ahead

2009-10-20T21:46:00.003+08:00

I AM SCCCCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

Because there's going to return our maths and chem scripts tomorrow and I feel nothing but the WORST for it.

And just as I thought maybe I can just chill for a moment or so, I still have I&R and WR to do. BY TOMORROW.

This is depressing.

Great Feat 2!

2009-10-11T11:15:00.004+08:00

And my next venture after changing my blogskin ~~yesterday~~ earlier today it's time to get rid of some irrelevant links.

I.E.

1) People I don't give a damn about anymore (sorry), or
2) People who are just wasting blogger's server space.

And after that I should really start flipping through my CSC notes.

Looking through my list of links, sometimes I wonder why I linked them to begin with.
Some of the names... well probably we've once had a wonderful time together, but seriously we all know the kind of relatinships that exist between schools in ****.

Some people close their blogs down after ~~breaking up with their boyfriends/girlfriends~~ and simply don't bother to keep others informed! So byebye and hope to see you again.

Another group belongs to some organsiation that I no longer give a damn about. And it's mutual. Hope that I won't meet you guys again.

There are some blogs where I don't have the great fortune to be invited to read. So no point keeping the link also. Bye.

There! Now it looks so much neater...
Not.

'cos I realise I have lots of people unlinked. And it'll probably like offset this clearance sale.
So yea.

WAIT.

2009-10-11T01:01:00.004+08:00

DON'T GO AWAY!

Just because it looks different doesn't mean you're on a wrong URL, my friend =)

I think the last time I changed my blogskin was like, I don't know?
I think to the extent that probably my high school friends haven't seen my blog with another blogskin before.

I don't know what suddenly overwhelmed me to change that blogskin but I guess I'm tired of seeing yellow-and-grey on Glossy Gossips everytime.

And I'm also sure that Terence is glad that I'm no longer using just "40 percent" of a given browser space.

Time is 0104, and I don't think I'm making sense here.

Whatever it is, just say hello to my new blogskin! =D

(I kinda like that red star over there, it looks kinda random, but nice. lol)

Promos are OVER

2009-10-09T00:40:00.003+08:00

1) Mourn my failure.

3) Complete WR Chapter 4 and 5.
4) iSpark Nite

6) Prepare for dance camp!! =DDDD
7) Prepare for Basic NCOC
8) Prepare for London trip...
9) Prepare for Re-Exam (if necessary =.=)

No one said anything about having a good time after promos...

BREAKING NEWS.

2009-09-30T15:32:00.006+08:00

Singapore has established itself as the Special Environmental Republic (SER) of Singapore in Beijing.

And in case you are wondering what's so special about this picture:

Just for your information, you are supposed to be able to see Suntec, the CBD as well as the Singapore Flyer from my window. Try it now =)

What the hell

2009-09-24T20:26:00.003+08:00

Yufan the Lucky

2009-09-23T14:43:00.002+08:00

Let me share with you the Legend of Yufan the Lucky..

It was a sweltering hot day, 23rd September 2009. A Wednesday means that Yufan will end his lessons by 1100, and have more than enough time to spare until 1300, when he can leave the school campus.

So when the clock striked 12, Yufan decided that he should hop over to the SALT Centre located at the other end of the campus so as to retrieve some First Aid materials to return to the College Council. It was torturos to wait for a reply sms from his teacher for approval, and when it finally arrived, the weather wa already more than simply unbearable. Yufan decided to go for a little washing-up, and give his specs a little washing.

All was done in a moment, and after passing the First Aid materials over, Yufan was prepared to go home. There was just a slight hoo-haa a moment ago over Jieyi's missing wallet, which she accidentally forgot at the canteen bench, and which she didn't realise until she reached the bsu stop. And Yufan was about to repeat history.

To think Yufan almost walked out of the campus before he suddenly realised that my spectacles was missing. And immediately he knew where they were. He had to travel to the other end of the campus again.

Yufan had intended to leave the campus via the High School, but just as he was almost reaching the SALT Centre, his memory brought him a piece of good news: He had to go retrieve some forms from the College Reception. So happily after a long wait for the High School administrative staff to get him his keys, he went back to retrieve his specs, and returned the keys.

The Sun was murderous, but he was fortunate enough to reach the College Reception before he died. More great news waited him: the College Staff claimed that no such form exists and that all he had to do is to write a letter to support his claim.

And all that travelling made Yufan such a lucky boy today.

BULLSHIT

2009-09-03T20:53:00.000+08:00

I was in a great mood coming to blog about Teacher's Day concert when I realise: THE FORMATTING OF MY CREATE POST PAGE IS OFF HAYWIRED AGAIN!!!!!

New handphone =)

2009-09-01T14:43:00.001+08:00

I'm so glad that the blogger formatting is back into it's sane state.

And even more glad that I've got a new handphone to replace my rotting one, despite the fact that I did get a bit of shock when my mum decided to change phone ON THE SPOT when I wasn't exactly mentally prepared to leave behind a phone I have been with for 1 year++.

But I don't feel happy still.

Nice. Damn true!

2009-08-26T05:28:00.000+08:00

Chanced upon this quiz on Jun An's blog, and he didn't provide a link.

So had to trace back to Wei Jing's block and found it.

If you're free, try it: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Surprisingly accurate!

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:

You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

strange

2009-08-20T22:29:00.000+08:00

Things are going wrong unexplainably with my internet browser, I suppose.
My facebook and hotmail appears in a perpetually unloadable state, and my blogger create post page is in an absolute state of 0 formatting.

Everyone's quite getting into the promos mode!
Blogs are hanging up their hiatus signs again, and yet I'm still here blogging
neglecting the fact that there is a math test on Planes tomorrow =.=

Anyway while CCA has been suspended for most people as of now,
I'm still actively involved in preparing for Teachers' Day performance.
First practice at audi yesterday. Feeling good about it.
Everyone's saying that we will make a bombastic impact on Teachers' Day =)
But the details are still hush-hush, so if you really want to know what we're up to, just be there on Teachers' Day ya...?

2009-08-18T22:16:00.000+08:00

someone told me my blog is rotting.
so here i am.

Depressing

2009-07-21T21:30:00.004+08:00

Pretty troubled these few days.
My emotions are getting the better of me.

Poor results + Fatigue + Depressants don't really add up to a pretty pleasant day.

Sooner or later I will need to see the School Counsellor for help.

And I really hate to see people cry.

H1N1

2009-07-19T00:38:00.003+08:00

It's pretty blah to see two classes LOA-ed because of H1N1,
inclusive of Wan Chu, who will have to pull out of PJT.

So now all that we have left is 3 guys and 5 girls.
It's pretty screwed, to see that the virus is spreading like wildfire and if any of us gets it, that's it for PJT.

We've trained really hard for it, mind you, so nononononononononononono way are we pulling out of it after all these stuff.

mldds jiayouss((: persada juara tari 2009! =D

On the other hand, I feel so left out, just because I joined you guys late. Why are you guys showing such obvious favoritism? It's making me feel sick and tired of this place where we're supposed to be retaining people. No, it's not what you're thinking, whoever's reading this post.

yay =D

2009-07-13T21:14:00.000+08:00

getting back your results is very depressing.

AGI

2009-07-08T19:48:00.002+08:00

Exceptionally depressing to know that AGI 2009 has been cancelled due to H1N1.

I probably would not have cared much if was in other years, as much as I like to attend AGI.
But this year it's different.

So sad.

First Times in OTC

2009-07-07T09:05:00.003+08:00

Taking time off the silly online e-learning which has evidently failed to do some blogging.

Sunday's OTC Theory Day 2 had a lot of First Times for me.

First Time having an in-depth chat 1-to-1 with an officer
I was asked to lunch together with William Sir because I wanted to seek comments on how I fared for in my role as a CCC. Originally I didn't particularly enjoy the idea of talking over lunch. In school, for example, I don't meet teachers up privately for consultation. I sometimes say it is because I do not want to give others trouble, but I think it's more of I'm not exactly that willing to "hang-out" too much with people that I don't know so well.
However I'm glad that I went. He managed to give me a lot more ideas on what SJAB and OTC is about, and gave me some insights into what I did and my working styles. It was comforting to speak with someone who understands where I am coming from and the troubles I am facing, and he even took the effort to analyse the situation zone by zone, seemingly comforting me that I'm not the only one facing such a problem.
Returned to course late in the end. Like really late.

First Time receiving a comforting sms from a girl
That's probably the difference between a Boys' School and a Co-Ed school.
In boys' schools people aren't exactly that willing to express their emotions openly. Either it gets a little too mushy or people will suspect that you are gay with the other guy.
Tingting Ma'am's sms gave me a pretty sweet feeling, even though whatever that happened did not really affect me, and I probably did not really hear what they said anyway.
But still people like to hear nice words, and especially when I'm often considered pretty "out-of-place" in the Zone, it's nice to know that people do care.
To whoever may be concerned, I'm great. Seriously :)

First Time being fed by a girl
Fine, a girl again. But seriously consider the fact that I have been in a Boys' school across my Secondary School life, being fed by ANYONE, especially a girl, is... different?
Apparently Maisarah "Ayuni" doesn't particularly enjoy chocolate cake. So I got "force-fed". Haha.
But I have always liked sharing food. Because sharing food means that it doesn't matter between You and Me. But being fed is very pampering! =D

First Time running LIKE THAT in the rain
AGI Reccee was a whole lot of fun. Not because the job is like so fantastic, but because of the people that really mattered. It was especially nice when everyone just dashed across the roads in the rain with bags and a uniform cover. No one complained. And everyone was doing it for one common cause: because AGI really mattered, even though it's probably on the verge of being cancelled.
I think this year's AGI matters a lot for me. Because Zone is marching as GOH this year, and I'm one of the GOH Trainers. Because my school is getting SAA, first among only 5 schools across Singapore. Because I'm in AGI Comm. Because because because...
To me, AGI had never been simply an attendance-taking session. Evidently. Especially since I went back in Sec 4 as a Colours Escort even though I have already passed out from the Corps. I take pride in AGI, as much as it's sian, because I like the feeling of seeing everyone in Uniform at Serangoon Stadium. It gives a heartwarming feeling for family. Of course this feeling really differs from reality, but at least there's still like some hope to see that people still bother to come down. Maybe for the CAA, but whatever.

SO, lots of First Times in OTC =)

AHHHH

2009-06-24T00:14:00.002+08:00

I totally have like no idea why am I back here within like less than an hour from my last post.

But my morale is like at all-time low and I have 0 motivation to touch anything related to my studies except maybe GP or CSC. And PW.

I especially hasn't paid any attention to my Chemistry and Econs. Fortuantely I took the time to try and touch my math, with minimal success. Like near-0 minimal.

I cannot take all the stuff that is coming in now. The panic is setting in and I know very well if I don't start NOW, I'm going to screw my Blocks really bad.

And I know the school will probably suspend me from CCA. Means no Persada Juara Tari for me. Maybe even no OTC for me. Which is no-no.

I have to start working but given my mental stability now, No.

Maybe I should go sleep and wake up early tomorrow.

PLANS for tomorrow:
Finish 2 Econs stuff and SUBMIT.
Touch Integration (I seemed to have lost all my concepts on differentiation. I must be going mad.)

I really must hook myself OFF facebook, MSN and stuff. I can't stay this way for long.
AHHHH I hate myself.

GAHH

2009-06-23T23:52:00.002+08:00

AGAIN another day spent without touching my books!

I must be mad,
trying to kill myself hur?

Living in absolute denial doesn't mean that I will pass my blocks with flying colours.
I need to realise that time is running short and my final week is almost up.

Guess what?
I really feel that I can't be more bothered.

But I know that this isn't what I want my JC life to be.

WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP.
起来起来起来!
WAKE UP YOUR IDEA!

This is SJAB.

2009-06-18T17:00:00.003+08:00

It was emotional.

As much as I want to say how great the camp was and how terrific the training had been and how I think it really defined us so much so, enough people have done it already.

Everyone was impressed with the camp. I, myself, am very glad that I am part of this year's OTC because it really proved what substance it was meant to be all these years.

Yet things are not always perfect, and what was emotional wasn't about all these team bonding and perseverance and "It's all in the Mind".

That day when I-forgot-who mentioned OOC to November, I remember I was totally stunned. Despite being on parade, I turned my head to Melissa beside, who nodded promptly.

It's the kind of feeling where you and your friend pledged to move on together, yet halfway through the railways broke and both of ou went on separate paths. It didn't feel good.

When I came home after camp I found the time to chat with Rita. I think it really cleared things up and made me undestand the situation more logically, and think through what this whole issue really is about.

Yes, OTC is good. But what good does it make if only one small mini tiny component of the Brigade is good when everything else isn't?

We are one Brigade isn't it?

Why is it so difficult to communicate and compromise?

Hence it becomes even more important for people like us to move on into the Brigade.

P.S. I heard from Rita that she was pulled out of AGI Committee. Judging from statistics I guess that makes me sort of her "replacement". I have to make it good.

Camp again! 2

2009-06-12T10:29:00.002+08:00

Off for camp again!

This time round I've got to "un-learn" my identity as a trainer, and revert back to being a simple, tekan-ed trainee again =)

Met up with OTC peeps yesterday to discuss for campfire item. It's great that at least the few of us now actually work quite well together, and we sorta had lots of fun trying to do like 爱你 and Nobody yesterday XD

This is the group of people that i will be "STUCK" with for the next few days, in addition to a few more Sundays and events for the next few months. So let's not start getting tired of each other shall we?

Anticipating the camp... Supposedly rumoured to be really physically and mentally tough but that's really up to different viewpoints. Let's just hope it will be an effective and meaningful one.

缅怀六四

2009-06-04T23:33:00.002+08:00

I forgot to mention that today is 4th June.

二十年前的今天，发生了震惊全球的六四天安门事件。
自由，对于世上许多人来说，或许是一个遥不可及的梦。
然而，二十年前的今天，无数热血青年却以勇敢地踏出了迈向梦想的一步，
为争取民主自由而奋斗、抗争。

在历史教科书中，记录的是中国中央政府对这些青年的镇压，
记录的是血流成河，记录的是热血沸腾后所遗留下的凄凉。
若以世界的眼光回顾此事件，或许会有人说这些无辜的青年让自己的岁月留白，
争取到的
却是

但当我们再次纪念着他们的英勇奉献，
我们难道不以继承了他们的勇气、
穿成了他们的精神
继续为自由的抗争而奋斗吗？

的确。
但到了最后，
我仍然只是个
平凡的
学生
=D

Camp once again

2009-06-04T23:01:00.002+08:00

ANCOC Camp tomorrow =D

This will be my first time going back to a Zone-organized camp after 3 years.
(Yes, in case you are wondering, it's BNCOC' 06)
I'm actually quite anticipating going back to this regimentation and discipline that I have missed for so long. Though this time I will be back with a totally different identity as a Trainer.

It's one of those times where you will reflect on the path you walked upon.

I remember pledging years ago on this blog that I will set myself as an example of a NCO.
I remember writing countless times about 'Atikah Ma'am's little notebook and the note she left behind for me.

I don't know what I have achieved. Perhaps I haven't been the best that I should be, but there are people out there who continue to believe in me and simply let me be.

Again, and again, I must not disappoint these people who have given me their time, energy and commitment. Yet again, when circumstances aren't really the way they should be, what can I say?

What can I do?

Hoping ANCOC will be a success for you and me.

Holidays

2009-06-03T16:21:00.002+08:00

(Yes yes I'm blogging PARTIALLY to push taht video a little lower down...)

Blogging from SALT Centre.
Just completed a list of games suggestions for 会庆, and had a PW Meeting earlier on today.
It just doesn't feel like holiday, does it?

Well I'm glad that at least I have a little more personal time to myself now that there is no school.
And I can take a little more time than usual to enjoy the little bit of breeze, and perhaps go do a little running around the "Tan Kah Kee Drive" =.=

The school is pretty lifeless today. Except for this couple doing work at a bench near me and the knowledge of some people in the Weights room upstairs and a group of SLC people somewhere in the building, there really doesn't seem to be much activity going on.

Stark contrast from the usual activity in this area.

Perhaps the school is also taking a much needed rest just like all of us =D

Arts Fest 2009

2009-06-01T23:50:00.002+08:00

That was the last time (probably) that we will be performing Zapin Tiong Hwa together =)

Few screw-ups here and there, but I think generally we presented ourselves fine enough in front of this group of the student populace. Well, at least I hope the "WAH..." right at the start means something nice...

It's our final night, and although I can't say I got to know everyone in the JC2 Batch, I think we all still came together for the dance eventually. It's really wonderous(?) how a whole group of us without little or no Malay Dance foundation came together to clinch taht gold.

Special thanks to Silu and Jasmine for being the 2 that I most often dance with. Silu, I think you made this whole thing really wonderful, and you should be the most proud that you are the FIRST dance IC to bring us up to SYF, and get gold =D
Jasmine, I think everytime you smile for the couple dance gives me assurance that our performance was a success. Thank you, really =)

In addition,
Hong, thanks for being sch a wonderful chairman although we hardly get the chance to speak about things. But it has been great talking about MLDDS and stuff whenever we did.
Dong Lu, quite a fun person to be with. I guess without your naggings for the T-shirt I would have never produced a design in time... (not like as if it's completed yet though XD)
The guys, as much as we have our own social circles and hardly sit together even during prac, I think we have been doing a terrific job. Special thanks to jiunn lin for guidance. It's been good to have all of you around.

Thanks to Cikgu Ram and Mdm Madihah, for being such a great coach and teacher i/c and putting in so much commitment into making this whole idea a concrete success.

J1s, we still have 1 more year to go. Let's make it a good tarian year =D

My grades, as analysed by Derek:

qui et quoi maintenant?

2009-05-16T23:43:00.003+08:00

merci à tous, je suis bien. Peut-être un peu emotif, mais bien.

j'ai pensé que les résultats ne m'ai pas affecté beaucoup.
mais quand je rentrais chez moi tout seul, j'ai réalisé que tous ont changé.
beaucoup des mes amis étaient nommé.
oui, je suis très content pour eux,
mais maintenant, qui suis-je?
quel est le chemin pour moi?

je suis dérouté.

peut-être il y avait quelques divergences en ce qui concerne les résultats.
j'avais décidé que si je suis vraiment inquiet au sujet de la production l'année prochaine,
je dois respecter la décision de la majorité.

je n'avais pas choisir le chemin à suivre.
orientez-moi, s'il vous plait.

peut-être je peux simplement renoncer et oublier,
mais,
est-ce si simple?

Depression.

2009-05-14T23:57:00.001+08:00

Today was a massive depression day.

CSC, PW, GP, Econs, everything just seem so dark and gloomy ahead.
Everyone was quite depressed and moody throughout the schoolday.
Even liying and liuchang had a small tiff, which I'm glad that they resolved afterwards.
But both of them cried, which is something that I really didn't enjoy.

Wenhao, Kaini and I walked off to the canteen during this whole saga.
It was bad, especially when you have friends bugging you but you know you are just not in the right mood to entertain them.

However I'm really glad that almost our whole class sat the benches today and I think we had a wonderful destressing session. Just by merely talking about random funstuff and eating tidbits can be of such joy.

陸柒，大家加油！

Dream

2009-05-13T00:32:00.001+08:00

I remember a few days back, I had a dream.

She was talking to me, asking me if all that she has heard about me liking her is true.
Before I could answer her, she said,

"Enough."

And walked off.

Judging from how things are going, I don't like what is/might be happening.

Let's just forget it, shall we?

qiantai outing

2009-05-10T10:41:00.004+08:00

Massive thanks to honghwee and yuensin for helping me with a taxi. I might just have thrown up on a bus without 2 of you =D
But yeah, I'm fine now haha.

Anyway, qiantai outing at weiming's house yesterday.
Guess what, the process I enjoyed most was actually the making of the imba xiaohuangcheng script haha.
Probably because it actually brings back lots of great huangcheng memories.

There was a great deal of discussion on whether who's staying or who's not.
I guess to everyone Huangcheng has been such a massive impact, everyone already has a part of them connected to it. As much as everyone wants to stay on, I think the practicality of doing so can be doubted.

I've lost the mood to continue blogging. So I shall stop here.

elle?

2009-05-05T23:18:00.002+08:00

Je ne pense pas que je suis sur le bon chemin.

Peut-être je l'aime, mais pourquoi est-ce que je n'avais pas le courage à l'admettre.

Je ne peux pas perdre le temps comme ça. C'est injuste envers lui, et de la torture à moi.

Je dois faire quelque chose.

Mais quoi?

黄城夜韵2009!

2009-04-27T00:36:00.002+08:00

I hesitated a moment before I 卸妆-ed before the mirror today.
I guess that to me, it meant that huangcheng is officially over once I got all the powder off my face,
and that I'm back to becoming like any other Hwachong student, going home while the Sun is still in the sky.

As much as I would like to retain every single speck of the glitter that fell off my hair while I was showering,
I know I just had to let go and move on.

I'm glad that 3 months ago, I walked into B101 requesting for an application form.
I still remember how Anastasia talked to us about interviews and stuff while opening the doors for us.
And I definitely remember how I had to sell a wedding pakcage to 1 gay couple (Alvin and someone else) as my impromptu interview.

Despite it being tough and tiring all these while, it was all worth it.
Today's evening show went terribly great, and I simply hoped that time could just stop at xiemu where everyone was so high and so excited.
I didn't cry, though they were somewhat near the edge of my eyes.
Probably something about "Smile because it started" thing.

I left with a little bit of regrets definitely,
but that only serves to make me work harder to improve standards for next year, or the year after. Or after.

I'm sort of like random crapping now actually but yes.
I don't know how to find the appropraite words to describe exactly how I feel right now.
I guess such experiences can only be felt and understood by people who have really been through it.

我爱黄城

Flowers!

2009-04-26T00:42:00.002+08:00

"太平局……"
I know for f**k I was screwed when I couldn't continue with that sentence, and had to stare blankly smiling at the audience for a moment before I regained composure.

But I'm glad that everything else went pretty successfully, and when I finally ended off with my last word on xiemu, I really felt that all the nights that we have struggled through was really worth it.

I loved it when the audience clapped like there was no tomorrow.
I especially loved it even more when they laughed really madly during our various emcee xiaopins.
It's a great sign that they are sincerely enjoying our show, and I'm glad.

I think there were minor screwups here and there - heard about them from huazhuang in Star Dressing Room. Fortunately I think for non-profesionals they won't really take too much notice of all these la.

At the end of the show I've got 4 stalks of flowers, 1 cupcake and 1 whole gigantic bar of chocolate (from Jane =D). Really want to take a photo of them but I can't seem to find my camera and I think I'm too tired to do that too.

It's time to rest for a better gongyan tomorrow.
Huangchengrens goodnite! =D

Time goes by.

2009-04-25T00:34:00.000+08:00

It's coming.

In less than 24h.

Jiayouss.

Heart.

2009-04-19T21:30:00.004+08:00

It is disappointing to realise that we have misplaced our trust in you.
It is even funnier to see how everyone used to think that you were a reliable and sensible classmate.
And to think that you can mouth out such irresponsible and insensitive remarks to everyone who has been putting in effort to help you.

Did you even bother?
Was it really a class effort, or was it just nothing more than personal interests gained?

I've had enough of how you handled every single thing that has been given to you.
I can only stare.

17 Again was a pretty hilarious show, excluding the disturbances we received halfway through.
It would be great if everyone in this world is actually given the chance to redo their mistakes, to set things on the right path again.
Of course this isn't possible, but I think a deeper meaning behind it is that one should just choose the right path, he has to choose it with his heart.

When you do things, do it with a heart too.

PENCILCASE.

2009-04-15T18:31:00.003+08:00

YUFAN IS PISSED.
Because he had to retype this post because of the stupid HC Server that signs out time and again.

How can anyone survive without a pencil case!

Whoever found/took mine b yaccident or not, pelase return it. Like please.

RAWR.

*Edit 0007: Indeed speechless when packing-up, the pencil case miraculously appeared. Right beside my bag.*

Make my tears worthwile

2009-04-12T10:38:00.003+08:00

SO I'm supposed to have blogged yesterday but somehow fell asleep.

Zongcai1 yesterday probably acted as a wake-up call for all HuangChengRen. It's only 14 days left.

I think after joining a UG in High School sort of made me more immune towards extreme emotions. Haven't really cried for ages in front of a group of people.

Never cried for any Zone Comps.

Didn't cry when we champed Nats in 2007.

Didn't cry when I actually safely passed Sec 4 with a msg of 2.1

Never cried when I left for Beijing, and back, and left, and back.

Never cried during Passing Out Parade. Any. Including my own.

Didn't cry after BNCOC when all the fun and joy has ended with me getting Best Male Trainee.

Didn't cry when I yelled at AA Team for their major screw-ups. 1 week before National Comp.

Didn't cry when they lost.

Didn't cry during POP, or when Orientation first ended.

Didn't cry when my first SYF ended with stellar results of Gold.

But yesterday, I cried. Quite badly in fact. With a few other actors and Jason.
“司仪，我刚才骂你们，不是你们没有进步。你们全部都有进步！”
And then it flowed.

I think everyone must really be under tremendous stress. 2 weeks left, and our kaisheng is not up to standard. What is the problem, really!

Be it seniors like Likhoon, or current J2s like Jonathan, Lishian, Cheryl, Liangzhou, Jason, Jiaying, everyone really cares la. But somehow we have been disappointing them time and time again.

I think they got scolded yesterday by the old seniors. Because of us.

Likhoon and some other seniors talked to us after that to go through some of our mistakes and stuff. I hope it will help. It's only 2 weeks left but everything still seems to be in a mess! How!

And at the end of the whole thing when we were walking down the stairs, Cheryl just had to give the 2 of us Ricola sweets. One whole box.
I almost cried again. But pulled it back, so that there won't be widespread panic as per always when people cry.
Still can't take it when people comfort me because I cry. Because I still possess a UG mindset after all.

On my way home, I sent a mass sms to most of the frontstage people:
"Ello yufan here. How's evrybdy nw? Hope dajia arnt feelg too bad nw. Those who cried lik me jus now, we jus jiayou ba! Hv a gd rest ppl =)"

I'm glad almsot everyone replied. It's very encouraging really. Thanks people =D

We shall reserve our tears for the sweetness of rewards at our very last xiemu on the 26th.

sleep sleep sleep zzzZZZZZZZZZ

2009-04-09T23:53:00.004+08:00

I'm looking worse than ever after the torturous near-sleepless night earlier today.

It's taking a toll on my body and face. Can't let this go on. Must improve to Beijing standard before huangcheng actual la...
Probably also explains the major incoherent screwup that I committed up on the bridge this morning.

Mrs Tracie Pow commented that I looked tortured.
No I don't look tortured.

I AM tortured can =.=

And tomorrow morning, it will be shopping trip with fuzhuang at Orchard to get the dress for Eyu.
Sorta looking forward to it, but we'll see.

SYF Malay Dance

it's something that will be difficult to put into words.

Tragic Dream

2009-04-05T10:02:00.003+08:00

Last night I had a pretty tragic dream. I think I cried. I don't know.

SO the dream goes...

I remember we were in some random classroom in some random block. Definitelyn ot a Hwachong Campus view though.

Then we started to hear random beeps and sounds. Nobody could identify what it was. Suddenly someone shouted, "Look outside!" There was a small beam of light cutting across the sky and coming closer and closer towards us in a 跌跌撞撞 mode.

Don't laugh.
It was an UFO.

And so it crashed into the building, like a few levels below us. I remember the building swayed quite madly and things were crumbling. People screamed and ran out of the classroom.

I remember I was running with Kaini, Yan Chang and Liu Chang. Then we turned a corner to the staircase lobby. To our horror, down the corridor after we turned the corner, the buildings were already collapsing. Just imagine all the dust and everything falling and coming nearer and nearer towards you. But the girls decided to make a dash for the staircase, even though I shouted like mad, "NO! You can't make it in time! No!"

But they went. I saw them like running into the dust cloud. I decided to make a turn and run off with others who have followed us into the lobby. I could hear all those loud rumblings behind me. I remember what my thoughts assumed was that the three were probably already dead. It was pretty sad.

Somehow I managed to get out of the bulding and everyone was wandering around randomly. I remeber I found my way into some sort of a Memorial Museum (like seriously, memorial museum justi mmediately after the collapse?) with possibly Wen Hao. Ang Lai Chiang was inside. I remember the only thing I saw was a List of Fatalities and the only name I identified was Yu Zhenghang (INCLUDING CHINESE NAME, AND THE CORRECT ONE). I think I started to cry because Ang Lai Chiang came and ask me what's wrong and tried to comfort me. I tried to look at the other names but couldn't seem to control the dream. I just think I remember someone mentioning Liying/Jieyi.

Oh I think Wai Kian was also in this part of the dream when I mentioned Zhenghang's name. Not too sure.

Then after that Wen Hao and I met Liu Qian and Xu Jianfen (WOW). Liu Qian asked usto go volunteer to pull the corpses out of the rubble. I can't exactly remember what went on after that but I think we rejected the task somehow.

And then there was none.

council campaigns!

2009-04-01T23:21:00.003+08:00

The council campaign period is definitely the time of our lives for the rest of the student populace.

Just look at all the gimmicks:
Today the class got a whole box of Bubble bottles,
Everyone got a candy or 2 from Tan Wee Teck,
and some of them even got ice pops from Caleb Lim's group.
ALL SIMPLY FREE OF CHARGE! ^^

While the council nominees slog their hearts out with all these freebies,
what we get to do is simply to sit back and relax.

Worry about the voting later XD

Good luck to all Council Nominees though!

Rehearsal at UCC!

2009-03-26T23:20:00.003+08:00

Rehearsals today was a whole lot of fun!
Probably the first time in don't know how many years that I have gone up a public stage like this. =D
Everyone was sorta in hyper mode, and indeed just like Cikgu Ramlan has said, being on the stage makes you smile naturally!

Oh though I'm like totally tired now,
I can't wait for Apr 8 to come.
I liked the feeling of how everyone was enjoying themselves on stage just now.

90th Anniversary!

2009-03-22T00:51:00.003+08:00

90th Anniversary Gala Dinner rocked.
It's a true epitome of the Hwa Chong spirit, be it The Chinese High School or Hwa Chong Junior College.
I only know that it is really touching and surprising that we have all these old alumni coming over from Beijing, Hong Kong, Xiamen, Guangzhou etc. And of course our local alumni. More than 8000 people in attendance, what's huge this year?!
Everyone sang all those iconic Hwa Chong songs with gusto, and I'm so glad that everyone was so enthusiastic about all the noise-making that we were doing to make the mood so fun!

Of course I won't exactly say that the event was ultra-high, but it's the kind of feeling and attachment that really matter.

P.S. Oh and Cheng came back to visit!

2009-03-19T23:34:00.004+08:00

Not exactly in good mood, quite tired after the huangcheng adhoc outing just now.

Piaowu informed us today that ticket sales are poor...
So far only about 20% have been sold, whereas at the same time last year almost 80% has already been cleared.
Pretty disheartening when you try to persuade friends to go and they can't really be bothered with you.
It's quite sad to see all the hard work that you have put in going to waste.

That's all.

Qui?

2009-02-22T18:45:00.002+08:00

Hier.
Je lui ai parlé.

Il m'a manqué.
Mais je sais que la sensation était déjà différente.
Je pourrais la trouver.

Que peux-je dire?
Peut-être j'étais trop insensible.
Peut-être j'étais trop exigeant.
Peut-être j'étais trop égoïste.

Peut-être ce rapport n'était jamais destiné à durer.
Peut-être je devrais le laisser partir.

J'ai peur que si nous nous réconciliions, nous nous ferons mal encore.
Je suis trop sûr.

Laisse la nature trouver la voie.
Vois sur ton chemin, mon chéri.

YES YES YES

2009-02-16T21:54:00.002+08:00

It's too evident.

Even a simple rebuttal as that fails.

It's so funny how some people rebut in a way that addresses 0 out of the issues mentioned. You know, like rebutting about how small font MUST mean shame when there were no rebuttals about the content of the small font. Probably means that you actually agree to it hur?

It becomes even funnier how some people can so simply assume that people are not making friends outside of their 4M social circle. Not only does he lack the brain, he even lacks the simple skill of observation.

The funniest thing comes when some people actually do not realise where the direction of the river flows.

I actually believe that if some blogs are written in Arabic, it might be much easier for me to comprehend. The flower bloomed because the cow jumped over the moon. Please,
عندما تشير بإصبع الاتهام إلى الآخرين ، عليك نقطة ثلاث أصابع عاد نفسك

Come on, if you really think you are that good at niaoing others, don't just dig out the same few lousy niaos to throw at others. Of course putting such a marvellous picture on facebook really shows of one's utter attractiveness.

I marvel most at how people can blatantly ignore such tell-tale signs all around him. 难道无非是昙花一现，南柯一梦？

With such pity.

My Message To You

2009-02-15T13:30:00.003+08:00

I'm seriously wondering about the intellect and sensibility of some people.

It is, really, totally fine that an unprovoked attack be denied. Seriously we have seen to many of thsoe for the past 4 years in HC.

But my, some people even have the shame to go around telling people how retaliation comes only with attack, and behaving as if the world has struck the unwavering arm of injustice towards him.

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

This war would have never started if you actually did not start going around behaving like a spoilt kid and insulting other people, to begin with.

In fact, since you happily decide to proclaim me as the person you hate, totally unprovoked, I might as well 奉陪到底.

War Is Not Nice. You made the awful decision to proclaim that all 4M-nized people hate orientation. You proclaimed that 4M-nized people will die in JC. WE are all very much alive and kicking, thanks for your concern.

It does not matter whether someone has the face of a Mr. Universe, and to begin with no such competition exists. What really depends is whether you have the HEART of a Miss Whatever to go around advocating rights for a CAUSE.

Put some effort into opening your eyes and look around you, and you might see some things in a different light. Sometimes laurels don't sprout everywhere you go.

There's a reason to everything. There's a reason to why some things lasted for only 3 years. There are some things that can never be achieved. There are some things that are really meant for people with a greater soul than that.

And yay, I'm back from Malaysia.

So I'll grab this wonderful opportunity to introduce to you the new Malaysian Customs Building,
Sultan Iskandar Customs.

Just like what I just read on the net, this blogger expressed his displeasure over Malaysia, which "emphasize[s] a lot on beauty than function". I totally agree.

If any of you ever get the chance to visit the customs (like duh), take a minute to look at the designs and contrast it with the old customs building. It is indeed a good merge of Malay architecture with modern designs, no doubt. Similarly, the Suruhanjaya Tinggi Malaysia as well.

However, on CNY Eve, despite low traffic flow in Singapore Customs, I had to endure the dreaded jam at the Malaysian Customs.

Now that is weird. If there's no jam at all in Singapore, then why would there be such a terrible jam at the Malaysian customs?

And then I realized.

So becuase of the uniquely designed Customs building, there is this long, windling bridge leading from the causeway up to the Customs building.

Ask me,
the bridge, is it an expressway? No.
is it a passage? No.
is it a road? No.
is it a path? NO NO NO NO NO.

It's a BLOODY GAP.
You know, like the definiton of 缝隙, like the defintion of Ruang Platform?
EXACTLY MY POINT.

It's a bridge with TWO lanes in and TWO lanes out. AND all SBS Buses, Causeway Link buses and cars share this same TWO lanes.

Talk about 僧多粥少.
Standing Ovation to the Malaysian Government.

Blemish.

2009-01-22T18:17:00.002+08:00

And again, today, I got stalked.

Yes indeed you didn't see wrong. They keyword there is "again".

Altogether in my 16+ years of life I have been stalked at least 3 times, excluding being stared at by a freaky fella on 156 (we all know, don't probe).

I can remember exactly 3 incidents when I got stalked:

The first incident happened when I was just 10.
Location: Toa Payoh HDB Hub
So here comes along this middle-aged man with the smile that I will never forget...
Ok, over-drama. Basically you can guess that kind of smile.

It started off with just a normal conversation, and I innocently thought that he was just there to accompany me since I appear to be the only person outside my tuition centre looking at Teachers' Profiles. So he asked me why I was around here, what school was I studying in, how were my results etc.

And then, 晴天霹雳.
He:你知道厕所在哪里吗？
So promptly I pointed him to the toilets. To begin with it wasn't exactly that pleasurable talking to a stranger even though it was (supposedly) just a friendly chat.
And he walked a few steps there, and back.
“你也要去厕所吗？”sent chills down my spine.

I didn't even dare to look at him.

“不要。”"Har?"“不要！”
and at that point of time he pretended that he was on the phone, and said "Ok Byebye", obviously pretending that the conversation was meant for the phone and not for me, trying to make me appear like a total idiot.

On a sidenot, after the incident that night I got harassed by a group of Malay teenagers for being "rich" because I had a pouch with me. What luck!

The second incident happened late last year.
Location: Guess what? TOA PAYOH HDB HUB.

You will never notice it when there are lots of people, because there are just too many pairs of eyes.
But there are some kinds of peculiar stare that you can definitely feel, even if you were back facing him.
And so while I was waling outside Kiddy Palace, I spotted this guy staring at me.
Not too young, maybe in his early thirties, a hunk, wearing simple T-shirt and shorts.

It was nothing at first, because being Singaporeans it is just so common for us to be staring at one another for goodness knows what reason.
I went to the lift lobby. The feeling is there, he was staring. Definitely. Behind me.

I got into the lift, and stood at one corner. He went to the other. Fortunately there was another gentleman on the lift, but he still continued staring. I could see it from the corner of my eye. I don't exactly remember but there was once when our eyes met, and out of basic courtesy I actually smiled to him. That's just plain wrong.

So after I got off on the first storey, I went to the toilet. Which he coincidentally happened to go to as well.
I went to the mirror, at which you can see a whole row of urinals behind you at sideview.
While I was wetting my hair, he went to the urinal. And of course continued staring.
It gets pretty obvious this way because you could obviously see him looking at you via the mirror reflection. I took a peek to see if he was really staring.

Yes indeed. And to make things worse, he wasn't peeing.
He was just letting it hang out there.

After which I walked out of the toilet. I knew he was stalking me, but out of extreme curiosity I just wanted to see what he could do to me, who have already mastered the skill of counter-stalking.

I went to a pretty unoticeable corner among the crowds. He came out.
He was searching around. It's pretty obvious.
And then he caught me, (pretending) using my handphone. He knows that I looked at him for a second.
So he walked back, into the toilet.
I remained where I was.

He came out again. I looked at him.
He gave me a stare, and walked into a stairwell.
He noticed that I walked away,
and promptly got thrown off track when I turned into EC House for my haircut.

But none of the above was as imba ugly as today's stalker.
Location: National Library

Imagine a Qi En, wearing typical Kah Hong + Derek Khu clothes, carrying a haversack high on both shoulders, wearing a red cap. With a crooked smile.

Why did I even choose to go into the wrong toilet at the wrong time?
And as per always, I was there to make my hair =.=

A man appeared behind me, he smiled at me. I smiled back, again.
And I knew he was a stalker.

Those who are familliar with NLB Basement Toilet should know how the urinals and mirrors are placed.
Again the old trick, he went to the urinal. And unzipped.
This time round, I didn't even bother to peek. The way he stared was so obvious from the mirror.
I simply continued to style my hair.

He was there for a while.
After which he came, and stood behind me.
If he did anything behind me, I don't know. But I did notice an indian gentleman staring at him when he was standing behind me, means he probably did something.
But what I know was he definitely stared into the mirror in which I was using. He was smiling his crooked smile.

I moved away to a side mirror.
I think he called me, but I pretended not to hear.
I had headphones on so there's enough excuse for me not to hear.
But I guess a little panic was written all over my face, because this one IS scary. Because I was already IN the toilet.
From the side mirror I could see him still staring at me. Smiling his crooked smile.

I walked towards the Public Lending area, I knew he was behind me.
I walked in and took some time at the door trying to figure out which way to go.
THen at this point of time, he appeared right in front of me, smiling his crooked smile. And twitching his eyebrows.
Plain ugly. I simply stared back. He walked away deeper into the shelves.

I guess he thought I would follow him, but I went another way because that is where I think the books I was looking for were.

When I finally found the book, I found a seat to sit down. Across the glass panel, I saw him, looking down every shelf, searching high and low.
I sat down quickly with my back facing him.

It is pretty depressing to see how many paedophiles out there.
I guess when these incidents happened I was already old enough with enough "tactic" to counter. Plus maybe I'm smart, haha.

But just think of some poor little kid who just asked permission from his Mama to go to the restrooms for a little while.
And here comes this powerful nice uncle who's got something to show you.

Before you know it, you may already be deflowered. And when you grow up and (finally) realised what had really happened, the kind of pain and trauma is going to stick with you forever.

Bless our children.

When it comes to niaoing people, niao for a cause.

Sometimes, learn to make sense. 明知道鲁班门前弄大斧必死无疑，仍不知好歹地在鬼门关前敲门。英明！

要嬲人无论如何都需要有些素质。
Just like how I have recently niaoed Kenny Hee,
外表只不过是与时间的赛跑，
但一个人的素质却是一辈子的包袱，
而有些人的包袱显然比其他人重得多。

There's a reason why some people get niaoed. Some people get niaoed because they first niaoed other people, but there are certain people who get niaoed so DAMN UNKNOWINGLY?!

It's so hilarious to see how some people can survive in their own sweet dreams of ideal utopian friendships, and creative romance *quote Ivan, thanks*.

自己都说了，在一生中真正可以珍惜的友情不多，

的确，可是你却选择了肆无忌惮地在太岁头上动土。

I've just gotta say I'm in for some great deal of fun.

Ivan, let's roll it.

Vietnam! Day 4

2009-01-16T22:51:00.003+08:00

Since I wasted 10h on a bus ride from Da Lat to Vung Tau, there's probably nothing much for me to write about anyway.

But I would like to introduce a "strange phenomeneon" that I have noticed in Viet Nam -- River Communities.

I have no idea what exactly they are called anyway, but these are communities living on the river, because they do not actually have what we call 户口 for application of land property.

It's pretty cool anyway, since from my understanding they are fully-equipped communities with schools, markets and such, just that they simply travel around by boats instead of walking around by foot.

And in case you are wondering how their houses look like, it's pretty much like our concept of kelong, floating on water. It's interesting note that when they go out to the seas (to fish for their salary), they bring their whole house along. Apparently long before our time they already have the concept of Home Working.

And what makes these environments even more attractive is that they do not even need to worry about floods. While you on land may be flushed away by an unbexpected storm, these river communities remain safe and calm, floating unharmed on their own river "parking lots".

Signing off!

Vietnam! Day 3

2009-01-16T00:03:00.003+08:00

SORRY for the late post la I was singing karaoke upstairs lo.

Third Day was fine.
Hopping around Da Lat...

I strongly reccommend Bao Dai Emperor's Summer Palace.
Not because the palace is really grand or anything, but just as the tourguide introduced, that Last Emperor and his Empress are probably the most good-looking people Vietnam has even seen...?
OH and the Crown Prince.

Of course for absurd reasons we were brought to a Cable Car station next, "to watch the scenery around Da Lat from the highest point".
But it got really funny when I found out the ending point of the Cable Car is right beside the Summer Palace =.=
So for those who can't understand my gibberish english at this unearthly hour, basically we went one big round. =.=

One good thing about Da Lat is the weather.
So nice that you really just take your time enjoying a nice stroll in Golden Valley Park,
aka Thung Lung Vang Garden =) (pronounce it!)
Just recall how we have always tried and look at some pretty flowers (if any) in Singapore
and by the next second we'll usually be melting under the Sun.

Not so here in Da Lat! =)
AND AND AND the flowers are what, humongous?
Photos next time~

Signing off!

Vietnam! Day 2

2009-01-14T23:20:00.002+08:00

I've learnt from previous posts that I really ain't that pro with formatting, so I shall STOP adding pictures for now...

Da Lat is pretty much <33333

Here I am blogging in slightly-below-10 temperaure, wrapped in a nightrobe kinda thing in a pretty large bedroom suite ('cos we are 3 people here) and watching some random movie.

After a supposed 7hr bus trip, which took about 9 instead, we arrived from Ho Chi Minh. Basically the day was pretty much wasted on a bus, on MP3 and just looking at scenery of 2 provinces that we went by.

But it was worth it.

I enjoy the temperature here, cold but nice. It has this pretty european feel to it 'cos the French built lots of villas around the area back when they still controlled Indochina. While Da Lat may be a smaller city than Ho Chi Minh, the region definitely appears much more modernised. I wouldn't notice a difference if I actually took some of these youths here and brought them to say, Taipei or Beijing. You get the gist.

SO this is probably all for the day...

Signing off =)

Vietnam! Part 1

2009-01-13T23:18:00.008+08:00

Xin Chao! Welcome to Viet Nam!

I'm go glad that I managed to find wireless in a 3-star Hotel here.

Anyway, to start it all...

No leh. I didn't choose this. It just appeared by itself in Vietnamese.

My first recollections really started only after I come out from the customs (ignoring the $%^& vietnam custom officer). Of course being a communist country, coming out from the airport the scenery reminded me very much of Beijing:

My photography skills definitely does no justice to the whole row of red flags fluttering outside the airport. Bah.

So you probably though Viet Nam's airport wouldn't be that fascinating eh? Think again!
...

Well at least on the outside, it actually looks pretty good.

There hasn't been much activity yet today. Basically visited a 百年红教堂, a post office and a 天后宫妈祖庙. Generally I think the place is pretty much Chinese influenced, due to obvious geographical and historical reasons. It is especially fascinating that my hotel is located in Chinatown, so you actually get to see like Chinese and Vietnamese words together on many shop signages.

I think you sort of actually see these kinds of buildings everywhere Chinese settle.

Dinner was pretty cool. We were arranged to cruise the Saigon River, so you pretty much got to eat your dinner on it. Not an impressive dinner, but it's the ambience that really matters la. Not that the river really makes you want to jump in and swim though... You get the point.

I think I'll go back to catching up with the others on MSN. Do check this space for more updates though =)

Signing off!

Awww I think I'm so tired that my blogposts don't really make any more sense.

Zone Presentation rehearsal!

2008-12-06T23:27:00.002+08:00

It was cool to wear my silver FDI badge for the very first time on my uniform(:
But even cooler to meet up with the rest that I have not seen for a really long time~

Was a little disappointed though that I got replaced by Yongqing as Parade RSM 'cos he's holding a Cadet Leader rank.
But well it really doesn't matter, since everyone ought to have a fair share of experiences anyway!
I've already escorted the colours during AGI, already a great experience,,
and yongqing is doing a pretty good job as well! =)

As mentioned, it was fun being with my batchmates.
Cherngyew, Nabilah, Michelle, Yongyue, Rita, Changyu, Yongqing (out of which the first four I hardly had the chance to speak with),
and also Melissa ma'am and Yihui sir!
And a whole bunch of other officers.

However the rehearsal was pretty screwed.
Lots of time wasted, plus the rain and the lightning alert made things a lot more difficult for Arif Sir, who hasven't slept since last night...
And got us all into massive repetitions of rehearsals to ensure perfection and precision...

Walking to the MRT with changyu, rita, yihui and melissa was eventful XD
Details don't need to be mentioned, although I really got left out of some inside jokes...
"Gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more"...

looking forward to meeting them again on the 27th (:

Bah.

2008-11-25T23:46:00.002+08:00

SUUUUUUPER irritated to see all the NCC and NPCC people going for their respective officer courses while I still remain a Staff Sergeant =.=

Oh, why don't HQ do the same thing and just squeeze the whole course into the holidays... save us the trouble from having to pop down at HQ every weekend...

On a side note, I'm pretty lazy recently to blog about anything, so ya do tag more to motivate me (a little). hmms.

Service @ Swissotel The Stamford

2008-11-16T01:53:00.001+08:00

I'm like lazy... so I'll just use the post I posted at lingying blog...

大概一小时前我才刚到家。

今天是我正是当上Service Crew的第一天，好兴奋但也超累！
是一场 ExxonMobil Asia-Pacific 在 Swissotel The Stamford (Raffles City)举办的一场盛大千人宴！
没想到第一天上任就必须应付如此好大的场面！

当然作为新人一定有丢脸的时刻。
说错话！
因为有同事不小心把食物serve到我所负责的桌子，结果还到另一桌的冷盘迟到，而且有得连累我把这“迟到”的冷盘送到那一桌去：
宾客A：“小弟，你迷路啊！”
我：“没有啦，这一份冷盘是多余的。”顿时天昏地暗。
宾客B:“噢，所以我们是吃多余的东西的啦！”
...

还是多做事少说话为妙

今天也领悟到了许多啊，
在这种大团队里工作，一切真的不是靠你自己，
而是看大家如何配合，如何一起拼，
才能给所有的宾客一种宾至如归的感觉，
提供最优秀的服务素质。

在像咱通讯员的大家庭里也不就是如此吗？
有些人有时真应该放下自己追名逐利的心态，
把自己的精力奉献于为整个通讯社卖力。
这样子所得来的成果虽然是大家一起分享的，
不过一起种出来的果实总会是比较甜的吧！

千千万万不要像有些Drink Server...
“可以麻烦你帮88好桌得人添茶吗？”
“SORRY NOT MY TABLE.”

2008-11-15T11:26:00.004+08:00

最近情绪起伏很不稳定，
心情超沮丧、超郁闷。

今天早上有大哭了一场。
一个星期内好像已经崩溃了两次。

是心魔在作祟吗？还是一些其他因素已经让我不胜负荷?

只盼可以早一点度过这一段癫狂岁月。

Just like what Cheng used to say, " When it reaches the maximum point it can't go even higher."

perish.

Sleep.

2008-11-12T03:04:00.001+08:00

I'm tired so I'm going to sleep.

The Coffin

2008-11-06T00:03:00.003+08:00

OH

THE

HORROR

of wasting $6 on a supposed horror movie which turns out to be a truly touching romantic story with a tearful ending.

I just checked the internet reviews, and I can't regret more of not doing so before hand. Someone even said he would rather watch the 10 o'clock news.

What is going on with cinemas these days? First Max Payne, and now The Coffin. Two movies of absolutely confusing plots that really require you to pay a great deal of attention.

Especially displeased with horror movies that only provide semi-horror scenes every half an hour.

Oh my,
I think I would refrain going to the cinema, rather stay at home for the rest of the year and watch Little Nonya.

跑吧，孩子！

2008-11-04T23:03:00.002+08:00

已经跑到了中学跑道上的最后一结
这是最后一刻的冲刺了！

让最后一刻的努力更加地灿烂、更加地辉煌吧！

Diary

2008-11-01T23:49:00.002+08:00

Sometimes you just have to do something and you regret it for ther rest of your life.

Just when I suddenly felt like going back to writing diaries,
I LOST MY DIARY KEY.

Go ahead and regret hiding the key so that others cannot find it,
in the end losing it altogether.

And btw, yes I'm still working on the Top Ten Classics

4M Classics

2008-10-26T21:54:00.009+08:00

Ok, I know very well that I wasn't around like half the time...
but hey, I geuss it's enough for me to announce the TOP TEN CLASSIC MOMENTS OF 4M?

Disclaimer: All this is purely in my own opinion. Any discrepancies or objections, tag. I'll be happy to edit the post for you.

I've also decided to make it in no order of merit so that it saves me the trouble from ranking them.

NUMBER 10
A picture speaks a thousand words.

Bet everyone will remember our 3-word stories Version I, II, III.

In addition to many other random games that spurt out of nowhere.

And yes, for such fun, we must definitely thank our favourite Physics -er...
Mr. Tan Hock Chye! ((:

P.S. Thanks for helping me fail my physics exam too!

Number 9
I'll give you about 5mins.

Ok.
For those who seriously still can't understand this picture,
Either you are not a Singaporean,
Or you simply have no basic sense of comprehension (See below).

Just to drop a hint:
This picture was taken during the 7th Lunar Month
You get the gist.
Kudos to Ms. Choh who didn't mind us doing such random things in class(:

Number 8
Let's take a short break from pictures and look at some quotes.
From our favourite Mrs. Chua-Chee Lai Cheng!

“面子我给你，脸是你自己丢得”

“长得丑，我不怪你。But if you never wear your school uniform with pride, then you get out of my class!”

"If you're scared, just close your eyes and DASH straight ahead!"

“墙，就在你后面”

And lots more.

Truthfully, one of the most entertaining moments throughout the day. Probably something that attracts most of us attentively to lessons! Kudos to CCLC!

Number 7

Kudos to Ho Wei Rong(To be added soon)

Number 6

DEREK CHEM SPA BLOOPER

How does Derek feel about spilling indicator across his clothing and face?

smileyboi : platoon4'08 says:oh shit lor.
smileyboi : platoon4'08 says:everyone cfm make mistakes one wad

麻雀虽小，五脏俱全！想不到Derek矮小的身躯竟然有如此宽宏大量！

Thank god that it was friday, Derek!

Anyway, this also proves that top-notch probee muggers also have times when they utterly SCREW UP!

But not always...

Number 5
Derek 扳回一局 with THIS!

This probably isn't even a surprise to him.

毕竟some people already used to scoring such results since probably like Pri 1?

Nevertheless, quite classic la heh.
After all, under some people's 循循善诱, getting full marks for an exam paper is indeed quite an achievement, no matter how high your IQ.

Thursday

2008-10-23T23:29:00.003+08:00

As a habit, I was cutting my nails again just a moment ago, on Thursday.

I remembered how for the past four years I have always cut my nails on Thursday so that I'll have well-trimmed, neat nails on friday for uniform check.

And then I recalled how I would spend my evening after third lang polishing my boots and putting on my uniform parts, and ensuring that there isn't any extra fold on the uniform, so that it hangs smoothly on my hanger.

Sometimes, when necessary, I will put on my numerous badges on my left sleeve. Tough work to get them all aligned in the square.

After which I will remove my beret from udner the bed, which has been there for the past 5 days, and check if I have the correct Cadet/Adult capbadge on.

And I will put my boots centralised into the shoebox, cover the soles with a rag to prevent the box from scractching it, then put it upright into the plastic bag.

All this to ensure that I will have tip-top turn-out and bearing on every friday parade.

I miss my cadet days.

Batch

2008-10-19T21:37:00.002+08:00

Ok, so there are like batch dinner pics being spam-uploaded on to friendster, so I totally see no point in putting more and more of them on to this blog.

有碍市容

I jus thought that, since Batch Dinner is over and we're all like lining up at the JC door to get in, perhaps I might just blog about my own thoughts and feelings about this group of batchmates...

Obviously, I know little.

Too little in fact, but too late.

I sort of remember when it all started four years ago, social circle at hwach was largely confined to the old MBS people, especially wenhao since he's also in ispark.

yet again, I did make a few new friends of course. I always remember my very first in hwach was baifeng and zongxian. The first one was sitting beside me, the second was in my orientation group...

then the rest of 1m started pouring in. followed by 1l, starting most probably with benjamin and zachary. and finally 1n.

cca wise, I don't remember. most probably edmund. and the rest of the ispark sjab people. if you guessed it, yes I was probably like a total introvert, largely confined to my own people.

but as things progresed in the four years, I opened up[ and become like what kenii termed as "deadset extrovert", especially since I seem to just tide past everything and make friends despite The Niao. (don't probe)

Probably what exposed me to the rest of my batchmates was the period of stay in BSC. Met countless batchmates whom I have never seen in school. Significantly jaron, yitkhai, kenneth, liangyang, ryan, karl, eugene and some others who were my "mentees" during the fourth month. And great kudos to xining, kaleb, weijie, bryan and jason for being the top-notch fun-loving neighbours. Oh and the malaysian scholars group, especially vernzhiang since he owes me a large favour XD

but most importantly, the 16 victors.

francis.david.weijie.hansen.hanyong.honghui.chiaz.alan.junxian.lewis.yida.jonathan.winston.zhihao.wutty.yufan

this was a group of people who spent 6 months together in a foreign land along the same corridor next to each other (=

and of course, out of all these, some especially close bonds were formed:

Surprisingly how a nationdayparade talk can gradually develop into a daily-without-fail chatting with hongliang. and the whole story about how sincerity can really change people's opinions about you (:

Despite our occasional conflicts, especially during the NCO period, kuanyue has been one of the greatest and nicest to talk to. he just has the ABILITY to make people feel really comfortable with whatever the topic is. And yes, he's becoming poser with the hair. XD (and remember how we slept side by side during chalet eons ago :P)

wenhao's is a long-lasting one.

*ok, I just crashed my com. luckily the post is saved :D*

sometimes, having a ranting session over some food at adam's food centre isn't a bad thing at all, especially when you get to make friends with people like zachary. but hey, it's been a long time since we really talked much, dude!
squadmates are the best. and no matter how much sometimes they despise this and that, when necessary we all turn out as one. that's the power of squad spirit.

However, time is short. And there are some bonds that i have never had the chance to fulfill...

People like Zhiyi, Alan Lin, Haojie, Bertrand, Teck Seng, Jaron, Yitkhai, Cyril, Daryl Chua and Alfred Lua(who, up till today, still has not accepted my MSN request, and ignores my blogtags). Somehow being unrelated in all manners just makes it difficult to even see each other in school. But hey, if you are reading this blogpost, sometimes it really doesn't kill to say hi XD. Let this be a start!

Undoubtedly, there are people out there who detest me. Suit yourself(:

But friends are difficult to come by. And kudos to all those who have been by my side and helped make hwach a little warmer than it is.

Heroes

2008-10-07T23:37:00.004+08:00

Miss Universe 2007...

"If you could have any type of superpower, what would it be, and why?"

"Missionary work is my career, and if I were to have a superpower, I would like to have a superpower that can enables us or me to use all my power and all my authority and my money to help missionary work. And actually I would say that a wallet that never dries up will be a good superpower for me to have."

Whatever. Politically-correct answers...

Since Heroes 3 is like all the craze now, what superpower would I want to have, and why?

Actually if I have to get a power from one of those characters in the show, I would want the "Black Tears" i.e. Maya Herrera's power.

I don't know why but I just have this strong feeling for it. Well true enough it is toxic, it is harmful and can potentially kill all those within a certain radius, but I guess one it is a good defence weapon, and also it keeps people away XD.

Other than that, superpowers are actually really imaginative and there are everlasting choices.

Perhaps I might want one of revival. Not healing, which means that the object has to be cold, hard, dead before I can use my superpower to revive the person and fully restore all bodily functions, memories and emotions. Can be long-term, can be temporary, depending on the level of power which I exert. It'll be interesting to see what the dead has to say.

Another power I thought interesting has already been involved in one of Heroes Graphic Novels, that of plant manipulation, just like what Gusti Puteri can do in the movie "Puteri Gunung Ledang". Make plants grow faster, let plants come to your defence or even to attack. I thought that's actually pretty cool.

I wouldn't want something like pyrokinesis, flying, telekinesis or teleportation. Too common and lacks an interest factor.

Clairvoyance? I think what it actually refers to in of the previous posts is that you can like "see" the future in your dreams, wake up, forget about it, and when it happens you suddenly remember you've dreamt about it before. And yes, it's so damn common. For me, and for some other friends whom I know of.

And now I don't even know how to come to a conclusion. Maybe some other people might want to continue with their own superpowers from here.

angels hatched=)

2008-10-07T00:30:00.002+08:00

My angelfish eggs hatched yesterday morning (since it's past 12) =)

they're like the smallest and cutest stuff ever.
and it's really interesting to see how the father fish takes care off the fry, keeping the stray ones in his mouth(like up to 20 30+!!)
and spitting them out with the rest of the bunch.

i think there are around 80+ fries now.

it's pretty saddening just now,
because some "accident" happened those those fry found a gap to swim across to another compatment.
and I witnessed 1 poor fry being eaten, poor soul.

but well, nature has it that way.
and since angelfish had been able to survive in the seas after so many years, it must mean something about its breeding abilities =)

photos next time~

Exams, exams, exams

2008-10-01T21:07:00.002+08:00

I think the worries and stress is taking a toll on me.

I couldn't sleep well last night.
I tried my usual "lullabies" by playing songs on my handphone but to no avail. Yes, even "Big Girls Don't Cry", which is usually successful, didn't work.

There was this buzing buzzy buzz feel in my head, and it ached so pretty badly that sleeping on a pillow makes me so darn uncomfortable. So I had to take away the pillow and sleep on plain mattress, which defeats the purpose of a pillow but care.

Anyway shortly after the winds grew really strong, and it looked like it will rain. Then I started to hear this windchime sounds. Don't know if it's due to my imagination or maybe one of my neighbours have a windchime but I haven't really heard it before. But it really doesn't matter because it did get on my nerve and I was both a bit freaked and irritated. So I had to play Big Girls again to try and drown the chime.

And then it rained.
So I went to close the windows and good enough, I fell asleep shortly after.

And my alarm started ringing at 0540. And it was quite irritating somehow. My alarm is "Shut Up and Drive" and it was blaring madly. To think I actually put it to snooze twice so I had to be waken up three times by the alarm =.=

So I had a pretty eventful night. Sucks totally though.

2008-09-29T14:14:00.001+08:00

MY ANGELFISH LAID EGGS!

post-agi

2008-09-01T10:46:00.003+08:00

AGI WAS <33333333

*though undeniably it was, once again, filled with screwups. Hmms*

So the colours party met at HQ at 12pm. To settle all the ceremonial uniform parts and the casing of colours...

It was cool stuff to witness the casing of colours.

First time in my SJAB life!
Bet the rest of my squadmates have never seen anything like that (:

It was supposed to be no-joke.

But somehow when we all assembled outside the Board Room without the prescence of the PSM and the senior officers,

some people started giggling among themselves XD.

it was hilarious.

And after some hustle-bustle, we arrived at Dunman High.

And off to rehearsal!

The weather defintiely wasn't on our side.

Matthew Sir: "90% will be wet weather plan."

*which naturally created some chantings among the NCOs...*

It rained and rained. And stopped. And then it rained again.

But good enough, the rain stopped by 5pm, and we could hold our parade on the field.

The evening sun was out, shining quite brightly.

The colours were uncased, once again a solemn and no-joke affair

in the prescence of the Ambulance and Nursing GOHs.
There was hardly any rest time left.

Once the colours were uncased, we fall in.

I was escorting Zone 10, while my Zone 7 colours was somewhere down the row.

And within 5mins, the parade started.

It was once again hustle-bustle.

Especially when your CSM hardly knows what commands to give since that was his first and only rehearsal.

*The original CSM was somehow absent for unknown reasons*

And that created problems.

Like having Tegak panji-panji unnecessarily,

and pronouncing turun as turup panji-panji.

Throughout the start of the parade, the colours party sort of became a whole chit-chat mess because everyone was telling each other when to tegak and when to turun...

The salutes were quite ok I guess?

Though due to the rain we could only half-dip...

As for the fall-out rates, any experienced sjab member will know that this is the msot fun part of the parade XD

counting the "merlions" and the fall-outs.

I only knew that GOH Nursing had 2 while GOH Ambulance had 1,

colours escorts had 1 as well.

BUT A BLOG THAT I SURFED INDICATED A TOTAL OF 42...

Still not record breaking, but that's besides the point =)

And when it was all over,

I was so numb holding the swagger stick.

When I brought it to the carry, I almost dropped it.

It was totally embarassing.

In the end my swagger stick was totally slanted and it was #$%^!!!

So embarassing la!!

To make matters worse,

nobody at the end row could hear Maniraj Sir's kekiri pusing ><

So it was like a mess.

When we turned, Nicole Ma'am was like giving us a "what?!" expression.

Screwed-up =.=

But march-pass was ok I guess?

Everyone held their heads high and marched smartly.

The colours were waving in the wind~

And it was a cam session.

Explaining the photo on top.

That's my Zone 7 colours, together with the Zone 7 ensign.

We cased the colours, hustle-bustle, and went back to HQ.

WHERE WE UNCASED THE COLOURS and left them on the stand till AGI next year =)

Or other random Zone events la haha..

After which, Bingle, Wenzong, Weiliang, Shimin and I went to eat at golden mile.

And talked lots of rubbish.

The conversion basically chained like TYP, HQ, AGI, FDI, Nicole Ma'am, Swagger Sticks, ZIWEI, flower, prank calls, and such things together.

Rubbish talk heh.

"TOMORROW 0830 TO 0530."

Probably the best quote of the day heh.

FDIs, jiayouss for next week!

pre-AGI

2008-08-30T00:54:00.002+08:00

Never expected that I will still have the chance to prep my full uniform after I've passed out (:

Has been eons since I last decorated my uniform with those badges haha... skills getting a little rusty XD

Even polished my boots, which was really badly dirtied by all the bud from rehearsals last week.

In a few hours time it iwll be the long-awaited AGI.

I'm worried, really.

NEA Forecast says there will be thunderstorms during the period of time.

We've put in effort to make this something that we will really enjoy.

All the FDIs have maximised their potential to perform their best.

I really hope that miracles will happen.

Let there be pocketSful of sunshine...

colours in the rain

2008-08-25T01:27:00.003+08:00

AGI rehearsal on saturday was an utter flop.
The rain is at fault.

Well, the colours party had meaningful training. And so did the GOH.

But the supporting contingents basically stoned for 2 solid hours before there was any form of training.

And there wasn't even a full dress rehearsal. Everything will have to depend on next saturday. The crucial few hours before the arrival of the GOH.

I hope everything will go well la.

Anyway as usual, TYP had grammatical and pronunciation errors which can hardly be forgiven ><
Quoted: "As a *slot in random position*, his English ought to be better,"

Else...
Posture becomes "Portion".
Zones become "Zhones".
and Dress becomes "Ress".

But still I'm looking forward to saturday (:
Minus all the irritating schooldays in between that is.

2008-08-17T14:07:00.001+08:00

i just always do some things wrong.
