I'm unique, just like everyone else...

Back from the Unstoppable Camp.

It was great. I only stayed on the seconday, and the third day and night. The camp was really fruitful, new things learnt and I really grew more mature. I was suprised that Hui Quan is actually XuanTing's cousin. REally didn't expect to see her there. The last night was kinda of boring, I was expecting something fun but everybody just went to sleep at 4+ after the activities. I had a meeting with Samuel till 3+ and I could find anything to do so I just went to play frisbee after that. Our dear Samuel Cried on the last night and I was damn shock to see that. I've never seen a Samuel cry before but after he's touching speech tears was also running in my eyes. He was so sentimental but we all know that it was not easy for him. He and MingYu went away in the morning about 6 coz they have to go back to the camp and book in.

Here are just some photos, There isn't a lot in my phone, most of em are taken by Joshua and Cheryl in their camera.

This is the third day into the holiday. Nothing constructive has been done so far. I have been doing the museum tour guide at national history museum for the last 2 days. I was fun but energy draining as well. The program start at 9 and end at 6, i felt super exhuasted after each day. Yesterday I had to prepare the presentation even after I went home and I screwed it today. It was super embarrassing. I did not know how to translate 'impose' in chinese, I stood there paused for a damn long time....Ahhhh, i hate presentation. Tomorrow we have to a drama on the section of exhibits that i'm guiding. We only have 1 night to write the scripts, design the dialogue, combine the music and consolidate everything together. So far, we have not yet to rehears, I guess we are going to embarrasse ourselves again. Just hope that everything will work out smoothly tomorrow.

I'm now starting to regret signing up this CIP. I wasted the whole of the 1st week of my holiday and my time to revise for terms. But considering the enormous amount of CIP hours I gain and all the oppotunities I can get to practice my oral presentation and the interesting facts about Singapore i will learn, I think it's worth it.

Hey, Happy Birthday Isaac!!!

Today went to JP to celebrate Isaac's birthday. I met them at JE sports complex. I was hoping to see the match, but I couldn't make it in time. The match had already finished when I reached the place. After that, Isaac went home to change, so Samuel and I went to walk around JP. We started to gossip about school life and the stories of all those stupid people in his class. Then we went to Pizza Hut to book seat. The principal of JJ was there also. He offered us free dinner. I can see that he's very happy coz JJ won the silver medal for badminton. As we have to wait, we went back to Mac to chat. Out of boredom, we took out our tutorials and started doing. But actually no one was concentrating. I think only managed to finish 3 question.

During the Dinner time, we ordered damn a lot coz it's free. We ate like there's no tmrrw, we had pizzas and some side dishes. Olga they all ate bake rice. I thought that was all they ordered but who knows that there were still 2 more regular pizzas coming on the way. We had 2 cups of drink also. I felt very gulity, after all i'm not from JJ, in any case I don't deserve the treat. Although there is no free lunch in this world but there is free dinner. Maybe conscience was the price for this meal. Haha, never mind I had a fun evening and a satisfied stomache.

2009-05-22T23:36:00.006+08:00

Ahhh...We lost in the end.

The whole school went down to Old Police Academy to cheer for our ruggers who are playing final today. We fought against RIJC. There has been a long grudge better us, we didn't want them to win this time. At first the team played well, Fadil managed to score the penalty. But in the later game, RI scored a touch down, 1 conversion and 1 penalty. It was a close match whichended in 8-3, not like HCJC whom we scored 119-0...lols It was definitely not a wasted trip, our team played well, they tried their best to the last second. Despite the advantage in term of their skill and physical factors, we never give up. We defended well and gave them a hard time when they are trying to pass our defences. The school cheered all the way till the end and we showed the true spirit of being a part of the ACS community. It was a fun watching the match except there were a few RI people stand in our crowd and cheer in vulgar.

After the match, our AC cg went to Toa Payoh hub for dinner. We went to this O l d T o w n COFFEE for dinner. the food there is super Ex, even one cup of plain water cost 5o cents and the coffee there are more expensice than startbucks. As Samuel was on budget, aiming to keep the expenses below $5, he ordered a Sticky Kaya Rice. When the dish was brought in, we all laughed like hell. It was really like rice with kaya only and nothing else. The rice tasted like s**t, we would puke if we eat the rice alone without kaya. The amout they give was so small and yet it cost 2.90.. it's a complete scam.

2009-05-03T20:42:00.003+08:00

Update!!

Today I went to Ms Lee's Wedding at Buddah's Tooth Relic temple. Long time never see her already. We watched her being blessed by the monks at the lobby and she looked great today. During the ritual, Isaac and I talked about his cousins engagement. He also told me that when he turns 17, his parents will appoint one girl from another family to be his future wife, whom cannot say no to this marriage unless the male party rejects her. I wasn't quite convinced that what he said was real. After that we went up to the rooftop to take photo with Ms Lee.

Then the class went to Plaza Singapura for lunch. We had burger at Carl's Jr. I bought Famous Star Burger. It was expensive but worth the price. The burger was HUGE, one is enough is fill my stomach. We took a walk after the meal. We walked around the mall, I entered a action figure shop. The figures really intrigued me. There are many movie and anime characters. They looked so real. The 1:1 terminator model was damn nice. But it cost about $10000+, haha I'll never afford to buy it unless I become CEO one day. There was also a show which sells all sorts of weapons. They had Elendil's sword Narsil from the LOTR, the gun which Alice used in Resident Evils and Cloud' blade in FF series. They also have many katanas from all the animes which i don't even hear before.

In the end we could come to a consensus of where should we go, so we all headed back to Boon Lay. Samuel, Isaac, Weijie, Guan You , Halifi and I went to play basketball. I was fun and also the first time playing with them. So strange, after 2 years of friends we've never play bball together before. My team won 7-5, it was a good game although i don't even know how to do a proper lay-upxD.......... Soon we shall play together again.

2009-04-28T22:12:00.002+08:00

Received back my Chem paper, 11/20, i'm not surprised except for the electron question i got 0. A lot of careless mistakes, i was repeating to myself that ionisation energy is calculated in gaseous state but i still wrote (s) as the state symbol.

I'm very stressed with my CCA now. I failed the 1st round of selection to get into Team1. 4 Slots are gone and I'm damn pissed. Coz 2 of the players they selected were very, for the lack of a better word, noob. I could win them easily. Haiz maybe the coach doesn't like me, never mind I still have chance. I just need time and more training. Anyway we all have to beat the coach first before we can represent AC.

Ms Lee is getting married this Sunday, can't wait to see her. I'm Looking forward to it very much and of coz the gathering after that.

Watching Fireproof,,,,,

2009-04-22T18:05:00.003+08:00

I'm in a really bad mood today, coz i just screwed up my chem... I have to finish the freaking pappr in 30mins. there was not enough time... I finished most of the questions though but i left a 3 mark question blank. It was simple but i just couldn't figure out the solution as there wasn't really much time for me to think through carefully. Only after the test i got to know the way to solve it and it was sooooo easy. I think i lost a total of at least 5 marks out of 20 and theres goes my A=.=....It is so saddening that after much preparation, I still couldn't finish the paper perfectly or at least complete all the questions...

2009-04-06T18:04:00.015+08:00

Back for an update!! Let's start from Saturday...

Went out in the early morning since 10. Travelled down to Centre Point at Orchard to meet Fungmin, as usual we talked about life and school blah blah....I found something that me and her are common--we both have a super naggy mother. After that I was about to go Nexus Auditorium to meet up with WD1 but my mum called me and ask me to go back to home.. She had locked herself outside >.<... Ahh no choice so I rushed back to Jurong and opened the door for her... After that I went back to Somersat again, As I walked along orchard there we many ACJC ppl doing the St Luke's flagday. Saw many familiar faces, their performance made them look stupid though haha.. When I reached Nexus it was already the last 10 mins of the service. Then the whole unit went took bus the West Anniversay at to Ngee Ann. On the way, Yee Tat keep asking me about the AC collegiate shirt. Reached at 4 and we walked around NP till the show was almost going to start. The food was good and performance was funny... a round of appluase for the ULs and DLs...

Then I went to West Coast Park for the class BBQ. The pit was so hard to find, I took 20 mins to locate the place. Honestly, the satay was very nice. Had a great time talked to those long-time-no-see people and we stayed till 11.30.

Sunday...

I woke up at 8 on to do my stupid homework and while I was packing to go swimming it started to rain, how unlucky... Rong Qiang, Samuel, weijie and I decided to eat sushi first since it's raining. The converstion topic was always the same, talking about girls and BGR. Lols, seems that guys like to gossip also.. We went down to the pool when the rain almost stopped. We never actually swam. We played slide and it was so funny to hear rong qiang scream at the top of his girlly voice while he slide down the tube. All of us almost laughed our a** off, that including the lifeguard. I had a funny afternoon with them. They went for KFC after that, but i couldn't join them. It's because the STUPID TUTORIALS again...

Today was nothing much. The chapel service in the morning was about the Holy week and they gave out free Bibles along the walk way...Rich people sia. Had Physics SPA in the afternoon. It was a total failure. The graph should be a curve but after repeating the experiment 3 times my graph was still a staight line. Nvm it's time to alter results again xP.....

(PS. some of the photos were stole from Jency's FB xD)

2009-03-28T20:34:00.003+08:00

Another busy day has passed. I left the house at 5.45 to meet the class for breakfast.. Headed to ACSI at around 6.30. The place was exceptionally crowded, we have queue in order to cross the road. Make a rough estimation there were at least 10k people. ACJC were the last group of people to start. The crowded moved at a speed of 2Km/Hr (this is true, no kidding)... at this speed we would be expected to take 3 hrs to complete the walk... So we decided to treat it as a cross country race see if we can run from the back of the line to the leader or not. Anyway many participating adults were running as well, so it's not to awkward to jog beside the crowd. In the end we didn't catch up with the leader(who were walking) before the race ends, for a simple reason--the line was too long.........

Then the class went to beauty world for pool. 真是人不可貌相, many of them are really professional althought they have the a bit nerdy and study look... After lunch I took 171 to Somerset. On the bus I was dozing off, after a while I woke up by some laughter, the passenger beside me changed, a few HCI girls was beside me(the bus passes Hwa Chong). No doubt that they were laugh at me... Damn embarrasse sia, cannot imagine how funny was I look when I fell asleep.

The JC central unit had a farewell party for those who are going Uni or NS at SMU. But I can't go there coz I have to go home for something. Pity that I missed out a lot of serious fun that I gonna have there..

2009-03-27T22:01:00.002+08:00

It's 10.01pm and I just came back and sitting in front of the com trying to revive my dying blog....

Friday is always a long day with little break. The lesson only ends at 4.50.... Went to meet Phu with Cheryl at the busstop in front of ASCI to go to Samuel's house for CG. We were suppose meet him at the busstop at the same side of the road as ACSI but some how he pointed us the wrong direction and we went to the wrong place. He claimed that he has a good sense of direction he is more blur than us. In the end he treated us bubble tea as an apology haha....

Reached Samuel's house at 5.30 and he cooked us maggie mee for dinner. It was damn nice, I shall go back to his house more often... They played a game which we were suppose to guess the movie character by the movement and gesture a person has done. In the end I lose badly, I even can't I even got the Mr Bean question wrong, I said it was teletubbies xD... He promised to teach me guitar and we had our first lesson today. He is a music pro, he can compose music and lyrics Hmm, indeed Hwa Chong people are clever..but the only thing is that the lyrics are kinda hilarious '' You should be gone, here you don't belong''=.=
And yah he also learnt to play piano by himself, he said that this is his only hobby during NS time.. According to him this is a new wife found, the guitars are all expired concubines...

Tmrrw need to go ACSI for the stupid Methodist Walk. It's super unluck that my class was also selected to go for this thing, some more they don't give CIP hrs for this event. And the class is meeting Clementi Station at 6 for mac,zzz need to sleep lah. hiaz, why did i tell i'm going....................

2009-03-19T19:11:00.006+08:00

Good news first, I've recovered my facebook account, yeah!!

Yesterday, I was having a really bad headache. I felt that I can't just sit at home all day long, so I decided to take a walk. Somehow I went to Jurong Point and entered Cyberactive. A game caught my attention, I suddenly have the desire to play that game. Without any further consideration, I bought the game!! I was super decisive.. That one DVD cost me 43.9 bucks ahhh.....Oh Man, what was I thinking.. After I went home, I realised how stupid I was, my heart was super painful. Some more I have completed the game once, and so in the end I just bought for its new expansion pack and the CD-key. Now I realised that why my Econ teacher say that people are never rational when they do shopping, is just that in this subject we assume that they are rational(how unscientific it is). Anyway it's a very nice game which has great and touching story, beatuiful graphics and addictive gameplay. Looking on the bright side--now I can play online with the original version and full features.

2009-03-15T22:40:00.003+08:00

WTH, my Facebook account has been banned!!
why? why? why?

Looking at other users' experience, the chance that will re-activite it is really slim....

2009-03-14T21:30:00.004+08:00

March holiday is here!!! But its no time for playing must catch up with school work coz the most hated term exam is coming right after the break!! It will take up quite a high percentage of the overall promotional exam score, I definately don't wanna retain.

It was a long day, I left my house at 7.10 this morning for speech day.(Crap, it's saturday I should sleep till 10!!) when I reached most of the people were already seated. Althrough I was late, but i still waited and talked for like 1hr+ just waiting for the thing to start. Then I continued to stone for 30 mins more before the prize giving ceremony actually started. I got 2 prizes, the prize for top in HCL was -.-.... just a $20 Kinokuniya voucher. The other one was better, a cash prize, but will only be paid at the end of April.

Went for service after that, It was a fabulous one. The dance performance was AWESOME, 3 months of their effort was not in vain. Rahpael and yunian were also one of the dances too. I didn't know they could dance so well. And I saw yeetat and the whole huayi cg was there also, nice to see them. Fungmin, yup she is my CL, went up on stage for sharing of testimony. Haha she was being decribed as demure and shy. For Samuel he was recovering fast he could climb the stairs already, good for him that he could rest at home for another 4 months while all the others in his platoon are training hard in the camp. Went home at 8.30 and here i am now blogging.

Happy holiday to those who have started school and enjoyed the last few weeks of your long long holiday before your academic year start to those going poly......

2009-03-12T19:38:00.004+08:00

It has been long since the last post. I 've been occupied with the tonnes of school work.

I've gotten back my first Economic Class test. As expected I failed 4.5/10, luckily only one person in my class passed.... The teacher said that if anyone can get 4 points and above is already very good. i don't know why she came up with this statment, as if the test was super tough.

Let's now talk about my 'cannot make it' Physics teacher. He is a super fierce guys, he would scold us for every lecture and tutorial. Today he suprisingly arrived before the class. He just as we were walking into the room he shouted, the class test is 10 mins and the time starts now:O, Everyone sprint to their seat and started doing. The tested was really tough and there was no enough time at all. C'mon man! who the heck can finish a common test paper in less that 10mins Of course I didn't finish it.. haha I think I have already flunked my 1st Physics test badly.

So far not so good. I really need to buck up now before it's too late. And ya, I've signed up a Converational Malay Class the lessons will start next term, yeah!!

2009-03-03T18:08:00.002+08:00

Actually there's nothing to blog about coz the school life is getting more and more boring after the dreary routine of continous lectures and tutorials. I've been quite busy doing the tutorial questions recently. The teachers are printing the lecture notes like there's no ending, even before I complete the 1st set of notes, new one came in. The questions are now piling up high, I just hope that I could finish it in time...... x_x

Okay, it's the notorious mass PE again. It was the first period after assembly. As usual, 2 rounds of warm up and then push-ups followed by all the strength exercises. Today, the teacher taught us how to do Reverse Push-up. This is much less strenuous way of doing push-ups, as in we have to start by lying on the ground and then push ourselves up.

The training this week was slightly tougher than the previous session. It's stll damn tiring and I'm starting to hate PE lessons. This Thursday we will be having swim PE which is much more fun, I'm looking forward to it.

I had PW in the afternoon. My PW teacher is the most hilarious teacher around in school, he was my form teacher's teacher back in the 1980s, we all call him the 'grandteacher'. He has a lot of lame jokes and of couse many of them are not funny but he will keep laughing at it himself as if it was the funniest joke ever. He is super cute as he speak with an Indian accent and I think very soon he'll become my favourite teacher.

2009-02-25T19:45:00.004+08:00

Hey, I'm back for a short update.

It's the anuual College Cross Country today. The school was released at 12.30 and everyone has to reach Bishan Park by 2.45. I went down with my class because our newly volunteered welfare rep hired a bus to bring us there. I met up with my OG at the assemble area coz we decided to run to together since we all signed up for the competitive run. The sun was scorching, I really regreted signing up for the run. I would rather choose to walk with the crowd in such hot weather. Many of the students had the same idea and they all prayed that it would rain during the run. Just before the run I realised that I forgot to bring my water bottle=.=.. I dying for water but vending machine could be found within the park...

There was a big crowd at the starting line , about 400?, many of them are either from track n field or soccer. I know that there is absolutely no chance of getting any position above 150, I just wished that I could finish the 3.9Km race. Luckily, the sun was blocked by the cloud while running, so I had a easy time. In the end I position 166 among the crowd, I was quite satisfied with the result.

Just after Boy's Division race has ended, it started to drizzle. Very soon it became a thunder storm. The other races was cancelled and there were quite a few girls who have to stop their run halfway and take shelter. The rain was soooooooo heavy that my friend said that the prayers did really worked it's just that too many people prayed for it so God has overdone it,haha.. As the rain was too heavy all of us have to leave the park and headed for the HDB flat nearby. It's just cross the street opposite the park but when we reached the place, there was not a single place on me is dry. Because everybody was wet, that inculding the girls(wink wink...just joking haha), so the teachers let us off much early. Due to this not very timely and amount was not very carefully considered rain, the planned OG dinner was cancelled too...=X

Fortunately, at the end of the day, Waikit's father came to fetch him and I went home by his car so I don't have to spend another 1.30hr to travel from Ang Mo Kio to Jurong.

2009-02-20T20:31:00.002+08:00

I was super duper unlucky this morning.

Firstly, when I woke up this morning the clock arm was pointing to 7.10am. I took taxi to school hoping to reach the gate by 7.30. But then the driver took a wrong turn at Dover Road and as a result I was late agin. Unfortunately, the teacher who was standing at the gate was the same person that booked me the previous time. And worst of all, it's also her who was watching over the Detention Class. After that she had a little chatter wothme. Now, she could recognise my face and knows me well...Damn

My misfortune continued during the first lecture. Shuo Ting, David and I went to accompany yvette for here lecture although we are not taking the subject. The lecture was super boring and I took out my phone and play. I was so engrossed and did not notice a teacher was coming. She snatched my phone from behind, leaving everyone around in shock. Then she realised that some of us don't belong to this lecture group, so she asked the three of us to get out of here. Then another teacher came, she asked us to sit at the back. She demanded us to write a letter of Apology...=.= Ok, nvm just a lame reflection, I thought. But something even more lame and totally inexpected followed. She took out a digital camera and start to take picture of us! She used flash and the light caught everyone's attention. I was super embrassed when everyone was looking....zz Haiz, I'm gonna be famous this time, but the lucky thing is that I managed to get back my phone.

2009-02-18T20:20:00.012+08:00

This is probably the last day that I spent with my OG. Coz today, they announced to us the class that we are going to be in for the next 2 years. Saddly, none of them from the OG is in the same class with me. Now, I have to get to know new people once more. It's time to memorise names again and I really hate this(I'm not good at names...). Most people in the class are guys, this was expected because not many girls would like to take Physics. We had contact time during the last period, we did the usual things like 'intorduce yourself' and play ice-breaker games. So far as I've seen, they are all quite open and talkative. And I already can guess who would be the future joker of our class haha..

I really miss my OG, the 2 amazing weeks that I spent with them was something I'll never forget. But it's okay, I can still see them in school...

Here are some photos took during the Orientation Camp

2009-02-16T21:43:00.003+08:00

I was late for the 1st time today. I reached the school gate 6 mins later, the DM was at the gate waiting to book me. AC quite high tech la, they use PDA to register my name.. I was sent for detention class in the afternoon. Today's time table was very relaxing, I don't have any lessons after 1150. I went to eat with my OG at the canteen after the last lecture. I went to gym again (since it's free, y not) then I went for jogging around the track. School annual X-country is coming up next week. I really need to do some preparation cos i have not be runnning for months.

After all these exercises I went for DC.. The teacher in charge was super fierce, no MP3, no nap, no talking, no toilet break and the only thing that we are allowed to do is homework. I was super duper boring, just I sat there and looked at the ceiling for hours. Because I have NO HOMEWORK yet. Time always past slowly when you want it to go fast. I felt like the DC lasted for years.

When the DC was over it's already 6. I then went to TT training, finally can have something fun at the end of the day...

2009-02-15T18:46:00.002+08:00

It's another boring weekend, sitting infront the com and rot... so let's just update with something random.

The new Pioneer Station has been conducting test run since the morning. The trains ran at a frequency of 10 mins from 10am. The noise level was just as high as I expected. It was quite annoying, but after realising that i have to dealt with this noise everyday, from before I wake up till after I went to bed, I start to adjust myself and adapt to the sound. Although this new MRT extension added noise in the area but it really make my life more convient coz I'm traveling to school by MRT and the new station is just under my block.

I went to gym with Rong Qiang and Yicong this afternoon. We have not seen other for quite a long while and we had a great time chatting. We went to 日本村(psps, I don't know the English name) which loacted at the 4th floor after that. We each ate 2 plates of sushi only....xD I was quite embrassed when I asked the waiter that want to pay the bill. Anyway the suishi there is super cheap, one plate for 99 cents and it taste really good. I think I'll go there quite often in the future.

2009-02-07T12:49:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, was the last day of the Orientation Camp. I had intorductory lecture in the moring and afternoon. After that I went to the Japanese Resturant in School for my meal. Then, I headed to the school library. The library is big, and there's a whole row of the latest Apple computers...

The campfireless campfire which started at 6 was the real fun. It was definitely the one wildest day of my life. The whole school went crazy with music, everyone was shouting and dance. We just huddle up and sing with each other even through we don't know who's the one we were hugging with. I left earlier at 10 while the party goes on. When i came out of the hall, my whole shirt was full of my sweat. I was just awesome..

After I left the school, I headed to the party world at Tanjong Pagar for KTV with Yee Tat and Shannon they all. There were there since 6pm and planned to sing to the dawn. Although I have already lost my voice but I still sang.. although it went off tune sometimess haha.... Now I know the meaning of getting HIGH!!! It was really a crazy night...

2009-02-05T21:23:00.003+08:00

I went to Seoul Garden at Takashimaya with my OG today. The food there wasn't as good as expected. I still prefer Sakura as my No. 1 choice for eating buffet. I had a pleasant conversation with OGLs and the member. Gotta sleep soon, I'm damn tired. Tmrrw will be another tiring day coz the school will only be dismissed at 10.30pm.

Nitez.......Zzzzzzzzz

2009-02-04T23:00:00.002+08:00

It's 10.30pm, came back from school and I'm sitting infront of my laptop with an exhuasted body blogging.

It is the 3rd day into the orientation camp. As usual, we did cheerings all day long and of course we had games in the afternoon. Yersterday, I crawled in the mud and today was no better, I got competely drenched and had shaving cream all over my body. One of the game requires the players to pass most shaving cream to the end of the queue with your FACE!! The cream went into my ears, it was impossible to get them out, for that the more you dig the deeper it gets into...zzz In the end we lost the game and the forfiet was to let your opponent style your hair with the cream.....yucks

In the late afternoon, it started to rain. Most of us were not wearing shoes when it started to drizzle and just before had the chance to get to our shoes at the other end of the rugby field, it started pouring down. So, all of us had to shoe to wear. For the CCA exhibition at the sports complex later on, many of us went to the boothes and walked around the school bare-footed.

After the dismissal, I had a gathering with my CG members. Some of them are my batch, some are J2 and 3 of them were already in uni. We ate at the Ipoh Food Resturant at Holland V. I had beef brisket hor fun. I was one of the best hor fun i've ever eaten. After dinner they decided to eat dessert at Cold Rock Ice Cremery. There you could choose the flavours of the ice cream and they will mix it up for you. Joshua came out with a funny combination, it tasted super wired. It was tasted by each and every one of us. All had a funny expression with their eyebrows frowned haha. I went home with Fungmin and Patrice by train at around 9.3o.

Okay, it's the first day of school. New environment and new faces. There were only 5 huayians. They are Chia Weijie, Shou ting, yvette, waikit and Ruiheng. Most of the intakes are from Nan Hua High and ACS. They are all the smart students.

There will be a 5-day orientation camp. Mostly, it will be playing games and doing cheers. Looks like I will have a rather tiring week.

Since this is a Christian school, they have praise and worship every moring and there will be weekly sermon. The school atmosphere is very spiritual, they have many Bible verses on the wall. Today the chairing person of the camp even ended the day with a prayer. Cool...

Today the DM introduced to us the school rules. They are really funny, let me just name a few,

1. Leave a personal space for your friend when talking, let the light pass through between you and your friend. (reminding you not to get to0 intimate with the opposite sex)

2. Don't get paired up too soon because there are many pebbles on the beach.....lols

Anyway, getting into this competitive school means that I gonna need the next two year doing some serious studying. I can already feel the stress. I've heard that AC have a very high rate.. need to brush up English liao...time to read more books and speak proper English. Or else I might have to do J1 for 2 year.

Today is my lucky day! I'm posted to ACJC.

I was still sleeping when I received the message. I was so0o0o0 happy untill i jumped up from the bed and run a around the house shouting to my mum the news like a lunatic. Then after a while room I found out that no one was at home=.=......lols

It's an ideal school for me. The school is not very far and not so bad. Hehe, now I don't have to wake up so early le!! It's all that i can wish for. Actually my score was not good enough for AC, but so how it took me, God bless....

Came back from the skiing resort yesterday. It was super fun... I had reunion dinner with my family last night. For many years, we did not celebrate chinese new year together. Thanks to this long holiday, I had the chance to go back home to celebrate with them. Coz usually the school term starts on the 2nd of Jan and the holiday is only 2 days. I was too tired yesterday so i slept at 12.30 and didn't get the chance to set off my fire-crackers.

Last night the city was super noisy, people are igniting the firecrackers in every street, the reflection of the fireworks can be seen in EVERY window on the streest. The whole town was like a warzone, sound of explosions and flashes were everywhere. My dad bought 3 big crates of fire-cracker, they are all big size fireworks and I'm going to set them off tonight.

Happy Chinese New Year guys!!

2009-01-16T19:28:00.003+08:00

That's it. I have decided.

I'm putting SA as my 1st choice and Catholic as 2nd. JJ will be the 3rd.

Looks like I need to sleep early liao.

It's hard for me to say which is the one that I really want to go the most. I hope to get into a good JC but then I have to leave the house at 6. I also wish JJ would take me so that I can wake up later.

In the end, I think that a good school is more important, anyway JC is about 2 years only.

The only thing i can do now is to wait......again..... Man, I seriously hate waiting.

2009-01-14T12:49:00.006+08:00

Time for an update.

I've arrived in Beijing yesterday. The weather was cccooooold. I was only wearing a T-shirt and a pair of jeans when i stepped out of the plane. The temperature here is around 2 during the day and -6 when night fall. I still couldn't adapt to the dry climate over here yet. My nose is still feeling weird as the humidity in Beijing is very low and the my skin are all drying up as if they are going to flak of anytime..really need to buy some skin moisturiser.

There are a lot of changes in Beijing, 3 more condos was bulit near my house and there gonna be a new Subway line passing through my area. The new Ariport terminal was super big. It took me 15 mins to walk from the boarding gate to the sky train. And another 5 mins of train ride to the other end of the terminal for luggage claim. No wonder it's the largest in Asia.

I've just discovered that my dad have bought a car without letting me knowing it. Anyway it is still a Volswagon -.-. It's just that this new model much bigger and a lot faster. I still don't understand why he loves this brand so much. I will probably choose a Volvo V8 or BMW. They cost almost the same but better than that of a Volswagon......haiz

2009-01-12T19:15:00.005+08:00

I got back my results today. It was just acceptable. The subjects that I'm confident in, like the 2 maths and chemistry, all didn't get A1. But there were also surprises, I scored A1 for my humanities, wow. That was totally unexpected. And i was astonished to know that donno for how long time in the history HYSS already that the top scholar is not for 4E1. I don't know Chia Weijie personally but i've nvr thought that he would be the top student. BTW, I've heard that the top student is from St Nicolas Girl's, she got 11 A1s =.=.......

I'm now having troubles calculating my aggregates as in I'm not sure whether have they already deducted my 2 bouns pts for HCL or they have replaced my HCL as 1st language. And if they have not deducted the CCA marks i think i might stand a chance to go ACJC. Ahh, I'm so confused, still cannot decide whether should i take CLEP or not. So far, I think I'm going to chose AC or SA as my 1st choice then it will be Anderson and JJ. Anyway there are 12 slots, maybe i will put in some Poly courses too.

I'm leaving for Beijing tomorrow morning and going to stay over for Chinese New Year, will only be back on the 28th of this month. I'm now packing my luggage, actually i have nothing to bring except some winter clothes. But i still need to fill it full or else my luggage will be crushed by other people's bags in the cargo cabin with all the that placed on top of it . And don't try to call me, because the price for internation dialing is super expensive, your heart will very painful when you see the phone bill at the end of the month. But SMSing is still ok lah.....

So, we will all be going to different places and embark on the next part of journey of life. Good luck everyone, hope you guys can get into the institution that you desired.

Yesterday was interesting, I went to work at 3. It was my first time doing this time slot. I finally can stop servering dishes in a wedding dinner. There was only 2 guys including me, the others were all aunties. The other guy who was working with me was quite a friendly person. And soon after some conversation, to my surprise, I found out that he was a friend of Liu Xudong. lols

The work was super slacking, it was actually the easiest ever since I started working in this place. Because there was nothing for us to do so I was assigned to wipe plates! There were 8 piles of them waiting for me to clean. Luckily, most of the plates were quite clean, so I didn't have to scrub each plate one by one. Then, the manager ask two of us to help out in the kitchen. Another fairly easy job to do.

Everything was fine till about 7pm. I was sent over to the lobby to arrange furniture. The waiter has now became a porter. Needless to say, it's a tiring job, i had to move the sofa, chairs and flower pots from one end of the hotel to the other. The real nightmare started when i finish the job and went back to the ball room. While i was walking, a manager called me. He said he need help arrange the tables for tomorrows meeting. I said okay and followed, I was thinking that the table was too heavy and that's why he need my help. When i reached the conference hall he asked me to help them remove all the tables and then he just went away. I stunned coz there were over a hundred tables and I was the only one doing it. Gosh... the tables are super heavy, they definitely weight more than 10kg. I took me two and half hours to finish dissemble the tables and move them to the storage area. My whole body was aching when the job was done. I thought it would be an easy day for me to help out at buffet line but in the end it was the most tiring day of all.

2009-01-04T13:03:00.002+08:00

This had been going on for two consecutive days, I keep having nightmare about my O-lvl's result. Yesterday, I dreamed I failed my English badly, I was the last in class with only 30+ of mark, gosh.. and after i went home I smashed everything in my house lol...

Last night, my English result was ...wow, I got an A2. But that is the only subject I could possiblely be proud of, all the other subjects I only get just a B or totally flunked. Luckily, this two dreams contradict each other, proving that they're not going to be true. Haha, men's six sense are basically INACCURATE, so I think I shouldn't worry too much. Haven't sleep well for two days already, tired. I NEED A GOOD NIGHT OF SLEEP!!!!!!!

2009-01-01T18:58:00.002+08:00

It's 2009!!
Time flies, 2008 has became history in the blink of an eye. Many things has happened last year, both good and bad. It was a busy and stressful year mainly due to my O'lvls. But it was also a meaningful year, because I made new friends, grew more mature and most importantly I have found the purpose of my life. And 2008 was also a joyful year, i had much fun with my classmates and enjoy memorable moments with my beloved friends. I really want to thank my friends for giving me such a valuable memory. Look ahead, 2009 will not be easy because i'm getting into a new school and face people who are completely strangers to me. My wish is simple, I just hope that there will be less troubles and unhappiness in the year ahead.

My new year's resolution:

1. Excel in my studies
2. Kick away all my bad habits
3. Be a better person and be more talkative...xD

So, happy New Year everyone and Good luck for those who will be recieving their O'lvls result on 15 of Jan (Not officially confirmed)

2008-12-24T22:06:00.002+08:00

Merry Christmas everyone. It's festive season but I'm now having a serious headache with running nose and light fever. Haiz, cannot go to the Christmas service at Suntec and the PARTY after that T.T!!!!! It's really lucky for me to fell sick on the Christmas Eve and missed all the fun. Ahh, need to excercise more when I'm fully recovered.

2008-12-18T20:39:00.003+08:00

I went to work as a waiter for the first time in my life. I was super blurr during the briefing. Luckily, there were many first-timers like. me They all looked so confused and nervous lol... There was 130++ tables that night. It took me quite a long to find the table that I'm in charged of. Fortunate, I didn't spill anything or had any breakages throughtout the whole event. The toughtest part was to carry the SUPER heavy tray around. According to the regulation, I must place the tray on my shoulder. Can you imagine how difficult it is to lift a 20kg tray with one hand and walk around the silppery kitchen while maintaining the balance of all those cups and bowls above. After 5 hrs of work my arms and back were all aching like hell...ahhh. And the uniform they provided was super ugly. Please don't laugh ho... haha

Back from Class Chalet,
I must say it was fantastic.

26 Nov

I meet with some of the classmates at Boon Lay MRT first. But only after I reached the station, I remembered that I had forgotten to take the Hot dogs and Crab Stick along with me. So the rest went to JE first and I went back home to take them.

The guys walked to the chalet after doing some shopping at White Sand shopping center. As Ms Lee was late so the class sat down at the doorstep and started to play poker cards. Ms Lee and the girls started to cook Takoyaki at around 5. The some of the classmate was playing with Ms Lee's nephew ZiBin. After the drizzling had stopped, waisiong and yicong started the fire for the BBQ.

After that Ms Lee brought his nephew to the pool, I started trying to make some Takoyaki. It was the first time cooking Takoyaki. It seemed to be quite successful since many people said it was really nice. Many be I had a little talent in making Takoyaki haha, just joking....

Later on we played some Mahjong. I was totally a noob in this. But after the crash course given by Chee Meng and Guan You, I soon got the hang of it. It was surprising to see so many of them are good at Mahjong --- 真是人不可貌相^^. After observing them play, i felt tempted and joined them. I soon won the first Mahjong game in my life. Not bad for a newbie hehe.

The whole class want to Downtown East for a midnight movie. Most of us watched Beverly Hill Chihuahua while some watched body of lies. The movie was funny but kinda of lame. "We are tiny, but we are mighty!!" lols

27 NOV

Slept for only 3 hours. But I wasn't tired at all. Had pan cakes as breakfast and fried rice as lunch. Chee Meng and Wai Siong were the chefs of the day. Samuel came back at around 12 and he brought along a wok and a DVD player. They were all waiting to watch movie. Most girls and some guys went to Kbox and I went to swimming with the rest. We played water polo with a volleyball! Lame but fun!

After the swimming, we went to Downtown East de ZoneX and then we went to play bowling. Again, i was a newbie in this. I kept throwing the ball into the gutter. It was so embarrassing. I think I'm in love with bowling, I really looking forward to play with them again.

28 NOV
Last day of Chalet, people were watching Final Destination 3 while i was sleeping.
I was super tired so didn't watch and chat with them. I left the chalet with Guan You, Chee Meng, Halifi and Samuel.

the final picture b4 i left

Tired but fun. It was the most memorable and sadly the last class gathering. It is always hard to say goodbye. I will not forget you guys and hope that we can always stay in touch.

2008-11-25T22:00:00.003+08:00

Today, I was did shepherding as a preacher for the first time. After all those preparation I was quite confident. But somehow I became a bit nervous when I started preaching. I was fine generally but there was still room for improvement. I was reading my outline most of the time througout and I didn't have enough eye contact. Regina's evaluation was encouraging and she pointed out some of the things that I need to improve on. I think most importantly is that I have to reduce my stammering. Class chalet is tmrrw and i have not yet packed my bag. Never mind, sleep first. I still got the whole morning to prepare(I'm lazy indeed xD).......

2008-11-24T19:12:00.004+08:00

Went to buy grocerys for class chalet today. I met up with Melinda, Goiling, Peiqin and John at Boon Lay MRT first, then we went to IMM together. With the rest who were waiting us at JE, there were altogether 14 of us. We walked around the Giant Supermarket and purchased some stuff for BBQ during the chalet. Most of us felt hungry after the shopping and we dinned at Mose Burger. We choose there was not because the food but for it was the only shop that had seats for all of us. The guys divided the gorcerys among us and took them home. Have to be a gentleman, right?...haha. Since my fridge is full, so I split half of my share with Guan You. I chatted with him as we walked towards the bus stop together.

Today, I've just got hand onto the new game: Left 4 Dead. It's really a thrilling game. I have to fight through the hord of infected aka the zombies as I try to escape out the town. It has great game play and stunning graphics, through the plot is a little bit over used by many movies and games such as Resident Evil and I Am Legend. A good game basically, not bad for killing time. Recommanded for those hard-core monster buster..hoho

2008-11-23T12:44:00.003+08:00

Wow..I'm starting to blog. Isn't that amazing? Hmm...since I have nothing to do during the holiday, so why don't I write something. O'levels are over, I feel so bored. This holiday is somehow quite different from what I expected. I have been thinking of how hard I am going to play after the exam but when it really comes, I have nothing to do at all. Now the only interesting thing that i can look forward to is the class chalet this Wednesday. hmm.. I think i really need to find a job or else i would bored to death.
