8:09 pm - slc no more
|
haiz, slc has ended... basically the first and last day were the most fun lah... during the second, third and fourth day we juz worked and worked and worked... we were given two major problems to solve and had to brainstorm for suggestions and ideas to try solve them...
Second day: On the second day, we discussed the problems and wrote our working papers based on the answers we came up with FROM the questions the booklet posed to us. it was DAMN boring, prob due to the fact that not much ppl contributed except nigel and me... =s everyone was like stoning away the few hours...
Third day: ah hah! this day was SUPPOSED to be boring but IRAQ WHO is a fun-loving group and we obviously came up with ways to make the day fun... ;) haha, this day was for NATIONAL assembly... the whole of iraq came together to present the working papers to each other to try to see whether they were ok... haha before the convention the OT gave us a notepad, so we abused them and sent crap msges to each other... it was DAMN FUN! =D
Fourth day: supposed to be boring too, but we STILL had fun... its called council assemblies, that means all the WHO councils of wach countries congregated and presented the working papers.
The venue was at LT4, so it was damn big and the directors couldnt really hear or see us talking... anyway even if they could, we din care... =p haha, we juz sat in one HUGE group and talked and talked away... after the thing ended we all stayed back to discuss the preformance for slc finale... WHO was supposed to put up a performance with HRC, but since their council assembly hadnt ended yet we decided to discuss first... wat of left of WHO (me, nigel, jas, sam, jeremy, sandy, ezra) decided to do a song... nobody really did anything except for dl-ing random songs without a purpose... then at five there were only like me, jas, sam, jeremy and erza left, so i juz suggested a well-known song, Drowning by BSB... =D

10:46 pm - slc
|
hey ppl! haha this week is slc! basically we're divided into eight different countries and then further sub-divided into council... so i ended up in IRAQ WHO...=s AH, slc is kinda boring except for the first day... anyway i still had to train, from SEVEN to SEVEN-THIRTY... =s
First Day: I finished training and went with my junior to register for slc. Then we got a name tag, a PONCHO(?!?!), and TWO sets of NOTES(ARGH!). After that we went to the audi and listened to a briefing, then after that we played icebreakers. it was a very stupid game, BUT EVERYONE ENJOYED IT! =D haha, then we played dog-and-bone within the "country". hehe, out of five points, i got THREE for my council! i ROCK! =p Okok, after that we went for ANOTHER briefing, this time for the Amazing Race... the instructors were quite funny BUT lame... =s Our group became group thirteen and had new members due to a lack of instructors and one council in each country split up and joined the other councils. Our group had a instructor called MIMI who had a sore throat... so she was like growling out the instructions and stuff... hahaha, but she's a very fun person who LOVES lame jokes... =p Then we set off in buses to shenton way to start our amazing race... the interesting part was that we had to take with us two open boxes of TOUFU and two eggs. we have to protect them from getting harmed so that we could have bonus points... =D Cindy went last year, so she knew abt keeping the eggs in a full water bottle… =D Ok, the rules were that we get clues from our instructor and we go to the place we THINK is correct before she says whether it is anot.
Firstly, we had to go to the "bridge with two pavilions". We asked around and the bridge was actually at chinatown, sumwhere near chinatown mrt... after we reached there, we had a task to accomplish. we had to drink two largest slurpee in three minutes, shared among around 15ppl... HAHA wat a JOKE! it was not even a challenge loh... everyone was thirsty like hell and welcomed the "challenge"... in the end i juz took the cup and emptied it in my mouth... =p HAHA, so we finished like a few secs before time ran out... ok, then we got the next clue. giant bird that cant move. i was like where's the toy's'rus? i REALLY thought we were supposed to go there... =p AGAIN, we asked around and sumone told us that there was a bird statue at the bottom of the OUB/UOB building... so we asked for directions and FINALLY got there. then we had to find the weight of the bird. there were the dimensions but NO WEIGHT! then everyone freaked out and started to discuss the density of BRONZE... -_-" then i was thinking that cm3 = volume = weight... ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS TO MULTIPLE the dimensions given! nigel already did that, but din noe whether it was correct... =p HAHA of coz we were... *swells* =p Then the task was to get two dollars within 5min... ZHIKANG, very cleverly, called his uncle working in the OUB/UOB building to lend him two bucks... IT WAS LIKE DAMN JIAN! =p But i like it! ;) The funny part was that when the instructor wasnt looking, he returned the note. =p HAHAHA.
our next clue was sumthing abt a square with five elements, near a cone-chaped structure.., zk's uncle told us that it was far east square (THANZ DUDE! =D), and we were constantly asking for directions there... ok, here's another funny part. while waiting for the traffic lights, i asked a woman this: "do u noe where is far east square?" she looked blur, nodded yr head and said "ya". i was like "HUH?!", but after a while she started laughing and gave me directions... then i was thinking abt wat i said and realised that the answer WAS supposed to be juz YES or NO... =p Anyway, we got there successfully... mimi then gave us a puzzle... there's ten stones. one of them is lighter than the others. in two weighs, find which stone was it... i remembered there was this math prob i did but it was with NINE stones, so i got stuck... then NIGEL had a PERFECT SOLUTION. he said, "juz use FIVE weighing machines lah." Haha, then I remembered that she din say anything abt how many weighing scales… it was actually CORRECT… hahaha, irony: Nigel almost failed maths…=p But its not that it required any math… =p
ok, then our next clue was “if u wan to tell the world yr views, where would u go?” AGAIN, zk came up with a suggestion: speakers’ corner. I was bugging mimi to tell us whether i was correct, then she was giving me this WIDE smile and said “I cannot tell u…” It was like DAMN OBVIOUS that zk’s guess was correct… so we made our way there and our task was to attract three ppl’s attention… I had a PERFECT idea: go to the middle of the street, point at the sky, shout excitedly “wat’s that!?” =p I tried it and AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE LOOKED, but mimi said it wasnt counted coz she wanted a VERBAL response… *mumbles and mutters* =s Anyway, zk decided to SING… his singing was over-dramatised, but who cares! And ALL the people he attracted were POLICEMEN next to the police post… =p Haha, that’s how we passed…
our final stop wasnt a particular place… we were given twenty ingredients and 12bucks to buy three dishes containing these ingredients… haha, we had zk the food expert and went to the nearest food court… ;) Once we reached there, the gals ALL SAT DOWN and only ME AND ZK went around looking for the food… =s Haha but it was fun lah… =D we OBVIOUSLY cheated and bought an extra sausage and radish to put inside our food… =p Then we bought our bee hoon and salted fish separately… we were DAMN BLOODY heng… there was only ONE piece of salted fish left… PHEW… ok, we passed and our task was to stand in the middle of the market, and sing the famous william hung “she bangs”, and get two passerbys to dance with us… WOOT! I was so hyper! The gals cleverly got two tiny kids to “dance”… =p Only zk, me, and nigel sang, but who cares! We passed and immediately went back to our starting point… we got back BUT we were second… =( but mimi went to compare points with the first group and we found out that we had like TEN more than them, coz we finished EVERYTHING! =D
And the best part was that we arrived earlier than the FLAGS! Hahaha, after ten min then did the flags arrive… we started telling ghost stories and playing those kinda stupid tricks… =p BLACK MAGIC! =p Haha, then on the way back to sch we were telling lame jokes… GREEN PING PONG BALLS! =p (greg, I love u for telling me that =p) after we got back to sch, we got a debrief… coincidentally, my sec one juniors were training… then one bastard instructor called Kenneth was asking everyone to scream “wah”, clap and stand when my juniors were throwing… =s hehe, so in the feedback form, I purposely niao him like shit… oh, then after that we played water bombs! When we ran outta water, I took Nigel to the toilet and filled up the pails… then when we were going back to our area, I saw a LOOOONG queue at the tap… then I shouted “FOR IRAQ!” with Nigel and dumped the pails over their pathetic heads… we repeated twice then decided to dump on other groups… I randomly picked on: CHINA. Hahaha, but the consequences were SIAO. Five ppl massed me and vince zhammed my neck then I got a SPRAIN… argh, I still can feel it… =s Anyway I din think I deserved THAT… =s anyway, dinner was provided so we all stayed back and ate in the classrooms… then I went home, and as usual, got scolded by my mum for returning late… =p

11:11 pm - Hols...
|
aaaahhhh... the hols are here! not that i like the numerous trainings, but at least i can slack after i finish my hw. no, IF i finish my hw... :p Haha, at least there's slc for me to slack from ONE WHOLE WEEK of training! WOOHOO! But on the other hand, there's at least still 15 sessions left... :(
argh, ive been scraping and painting the WHOLE house for these few weeks. me and my sis spent like TWO DAYS scraping the paint from the balcony wall. then the following week we finished painting the balcony in TWO DAYS. Then yesterday me and my dad finished the whole living room and dining room, and TODAY me and my sis finished one and a half rooms.
ppl, dun think that painting the house is easy, coz its NOT.
steps required:
1) buy materials needed for the entire process
2) lay newspapers to cover the entire the floor
3) scrape off all peeling and potentially might peel paint
4) apply wall putty to holes in the wall
5) move the furniture outta the way
6) paint the foundation layer
7) paint the wall sealer layer
8) FINALLY paint the final layer
9) clean up the mess u made of the house
10) clean up the mess u made of YRSELF
note: bear with the pain when u scrub yrself in the shower
hah, one and a half more rooms to go before i collect my 200 bucks payment! :D

11:48 pm - Im back

no, dun think i have abandoned my blurty. i havent. (At least, not yet... :p) haiz, after so long of not updating my blurty, i got so much stuff that i wan to say, but cant remember them well enuff to relate... :s hmmm... guess ill guess say sumthing abt today and forget abt the last two months... :p
eh, today we had CSM. that's combined sports meet in case u ppl wanna noe. its organised for chs, ny, and hcjc, so it damn crowded on the terraces today. up to now, i still dun get how gals can scream so loud in a high pitch, AND still manage to be able to speak normally after that... :s Gee, two hours of cs can screw up my voice for the rest of my day... :s Well, so basically kinda boring for me coz i din have events today. wellllll. anyway, it was mainly juz major ogling... :p JOKING! ok fine, its true. to a certain extent. Haha, then there was a teachers' race, and AS USUAL, chinese high loses AGAIN. big surprise... no im not gonna insult my teachers here coz i might get found out... :p
fine, then i went to beauty world (thats a SHOPPING CENTRE, dun get any wrong ideas... :p) with de pin (track fren, discus) and his frenz. We ate and played for like FOUR hours. naturally, my voice is now screwed... :s I rushed back to hcjc for the track thingie, again for chs, ny and hcjc. we were split up into groups and introduced ourselves and played wacko. (quote: yue ting, group leader: I'm the wacko person. me: yeah, ur the wacko person... :p ) after that we had this pass-food-through-the-whole-group game... u noe, u put a piece of sumthing in yr mouth, then u pass it to the next person after taking a bit outta it. :s Yes, i noe, EEEWWW, but obviously i din play by the rules. first item was supposed to be a banana, and i pretended to take a bite before passing it on. then from me onwards, nobody touched the banana... :p hehe, next was gummy sweets. i was like 3 in the line, so when they got to me i ate the whole thing... :p yeah, it was kinda nice. then everyone in the group were like wanting to steal the sweets from the plate, and our group leader half-heartedly tried to stop us.
but OBVIOUSLY, if u cheat, theres consequences... :( sumhow the games ic-s found out, and made us redo the whole thing in front of everybody... :s but this time we used a RAW CARROT and only had 40 sec to pass down a group of 17. good thing was that u din have to bite off a part of it. :) haha, the carrot dropped twice in the middle and almost everyone had to do the whole thing again, except me, coz i was slacking as the last person and the carrot hadnt reached me yet... :p lucky me, i noe. :D haha, i FINALLY got the carrot with like only 1 sec left and as soon as i received it, i drop kicked it, and it broke into three pieces. :p HAH, so there, u stinky carrot! :p
hmmm, after that we ate dinner and had a FASHION PARADE. we were supposed to pick out one guy and gal from each group, dress them up so that they can appeal to the judges the best. haha, i ALMOST got picked coz i was joking too much before that. phew, lucky i was the fouth most senior in that group, so i kinda "persuaded" thet rest of the group members to change the "lucky guy" :p in the end, i ALMOST got the role, but i won the scissors-paper-stone 2-1! yeah! haha, lets juz say that we vandalised the guy... HAHAHA, ask me personally if u REALLY wanna noe... :p
after that, we went home. period. and i returned a home, with a USABLE COMPUTER!!! finally! :D haha, i can play gunbound now! juz finished dl-ing it... :D seeya, ppl! i'll blog again. soon. i THINK, :p

9:42 pm - after a long, long time
|
WOW! surprise, im blogging again! ah, heck care abt the kl trip. i'll juz give u ppl a short description of it. went petronas towers, jumped around on the skybridge (dunno why the hell its called THAT), hoping that it might sway some more (the tour guide said it did). then we went to some islands. walked around on rotting wooden planks, and visited some crap school. another island was kinda like filled with dead rotten stinking fish, so i stayed in the boat and decided to get seasick instead. after that, we visted this floating fish farm and it was kinda fun trying to walk across the whole farm without falling into some piranha-infested pit (at least, i THINK there were piranhas. wait, on the other hand, maybe not...). and yeah, LAND is definitely more fun.
we went to sunway lagoon on another day. it's divided into two parts, the land part, and the water part. chen zhen, my sis and i were like taking almost all the rides, especially the roller coaster. i mean, we took it so many times that on the seventh time or sumthing liddat, we were laughing at the screaming ppl. :P same thing with the pirate ship... aahhhh... the water part was damn fun. u noe the slide thingie where u have a mat and lie down on it on the slide and go down? YEAH BABY, that was GREAT! i took it like 30-plus times and trashed everyone else i was sliding down with... :P (im not lying, dammit) the taxi fare there and back was like A HUNDRED RM and i was bloody pissed at the taxi driver.
then on some other day, we went ice-skating, pizza hut (there IS one), and shopping at sunway pyramid (its next to sunway lagoon). pizza hut was funny, coz cz's mum ordered sumthing and the waiter's eng was so lousy that he got a wrong order... we skated for quite long before stopping coz my feet were kinda dead. then we walked around the whole mall shopping and waiting for the rain to stop while i was running back and forth from the toilet coz of diarhorrea. :S
another day we went to times square or sumthing liddat to, erm, SHOP. got a op shorts, around two shirts, and a neck chain( its NOT a NECKLACE, k heng). yeah, that's shopping for me. then we wandered around random shopping centres.
anything i din mention here is not worth mentioning. SO. hee, stop bugging me abt not completing my blogging.

oh yeah, anyway, we got two taxis to our accomodation... its this place called suitestay... i think its a extra big condo or sumthing (at least, bigger than the hotel next to it). anyway, its like 50metres away from the petronas towers, so we got a really gd view of it. we got into the apartment, slacked around for 5 min, then went off again. we went to this chinatown place and its nth much lah, juz a huge and forever there pasa malam. OH YEAH, i almost forgot abt this... a perfect opportunity to niao malaysia again ;) In malaysia, there's a transport system like singapore's LRT and MRT. its called LRT 2, prob because the idea's koped from sg... SUCKERS! anyway, that train thingie is only TWO carriages long and its BLOODY squeezy... i mean, u cant even fall down there, u'll juz crash into the ppl around u. geez... when we got back to our "hotel", i was freaking tired.

4:23 pm - Dragon boating
|
at hee's house AGAIN... todae we had dragon boating for sec 1 n 2 ispark ppl. we got divided into groups n 2o had 4 "traitors"... we practised rowing for abt 45 min, then all seven boats went ashore for activities. the groups were further divided into A and B. then we played "tug-of-war" wif 8 ppl on each side of the boat n facing each other. then we had to paddle like shit to try to get the boat to move forward in our direction. it was more like "paddle-of-war" really... on 7A, there was me n k heng. on 7B, there was tim yap n samuel. so both our teams were like the most qiang :P. we won all four matches, like 7B. then we conspired to screw up the finals between A and B. ;) when the instructors whistled the beginning of the match, all of us held up our paddles n refused to paddle. hahaha, that was like damn funny, but i thought that it really brought out the true spirit of 2o! the true SPORT spirit (i wouldnt want to comment on our academic performance :P)
then we had a race among all the seven boats. needless to say, we won... (although by abt 5m :P)
but everyone was drenched in salt water :s by the time we finished.
we cleaned up n went back to sch. as our prize, we got a whole CRATE of APPLES. there were at least 150 apples inside. on man, our classroom transformed into a official apple eating venue. then i took 5 back coz there were too much left. we took pity on the sec 1s and sent boon gan to give them to rest of the apples.
oh, and the bdae party was damn fun. there were abt 14 gals n 7 guys. :S then we were all playing mass basketball. the gals got sick of losing n wanted to play captain's ball. too bad, we STILL won. :P after that we had barbecue n there was a damn lotta food. i nv thought i would have a day where i would reject satay. while eating, we watched holland V, then played night bball. by then a lot of ppl left already. for guys, only hee, me, shaun, yarn were left.
in the end, i was the only guy to sleepover while there were 3 gals staying over. we "forced" them to played uno then played battleship wif hee. after lights out, hee n i were toking abt stuff in general, then moving on to our classmates. we slept at around 2.30am. :P
OH, and before i forget, i muz describe an incident. on tue during assembly, when hon was asking the opinion of where the ppl who r taking o level course class should be housed, other consortiums were chanting ispark. i was kinda pissed, coz last time they din want the GEP+ humanities class to be in ispark, then the sucky class they want to dump to us. everyone started clapping then i joined in a very niaoing way n half shouted "rite". suddenly, chng (behind me) pulled my hair n held my head down then asked me whether i wanted to stand anot? i was like WAT THE HELL? then i said "but i was only clapping". obviously i said no to FREE MY HAIR. after that i was like dammit pissed. i mean, he doesnt have the right to grab my hair. moreover i dun think my behaviour required discipline. wateva, i juz noe chng sucks lah. last time i got lectured for SMILING IN CLASS. that asshole thinks that his hair is so bloody cool, his face is worse than the moon. BASTARD.

LATEST UPDATE: Hee Zhengxun has been standing up in class for consecutive 5 days. This has now rewriten the 2O class records. (Credits: Me for helping to sabo him and anyone who has helped in a way or another. :P)
Today: ARGH. Did PT AGAIN. Geez, the whole thrower's team is going into a PT frenzy. And on Fri there's more. Today we just ran up the terraces six times diagonally and hopped up the terraces six times. Legs were shivering by the time I finished. Volleyball was fun! The Zhuo services were quite good. :P. Liew gave us a surprise test. Plus A LOT of hints. So it was kinda easy. HANG SAVED ME from losing six marks. Almost handed up without doing C. Phew. Thanks hang, you rock.
Yesterday: Hee ended his fifth day by standing during assembly. Hah. He was talking to Jeriel about buying his cards, then Joseph Sim caught him. Although the standing time was short, he still made the record. :D.
Monday: We started the new Chen training schedule today. Didn't throw AT ALL, and was doing drills outside the gym. BORING. Then we went for the neighbourhood run. Thanks to Pey Yann(Shot put senior), we ran the wrong way and wasted 400m of my strength. Argh. Anyway, we climbed a hill and ran SOMEMORE until we were almost at coro. Suddenly this ACS guy popped out in front of me. Mike. That's when I remembered that he was living near coro. We chatted for around 10 seconds, and then we continued running back to school. According to the captain, the whole run was about 4k. After that we did flexibility and then went home.

ARGH. I abandoned my blurty for quite a while. A quick summary of my life all this time. Wings Competition for Boys U17, I got 6th, beat one senior and was the only Sec two in the finals. Erm, Nationals Track & Field Meet, I got second with 42.61m(BLOODY SILVER), lost to Austin by 20cm(AND EVERYONE'S BEEN NAIOING ME ABOUT IT :(...). History Drama, we guys got fourth, NY got first, RG second, VS third. Finally starting to throw big jav. Sucks. Dropped to about 36m only. Another :(. I made a vow. Two years later, B DIV JAVELIN GOLD IS MINE. Hmm. I think that'a a good enough summary of the major stuff. Piaing for science test now.

11:12 pm - Flashback 4...

Flashback:Sunday...8th June
SAAA Competition...
Okie. This was it. My first external competition as a sec 2. SAAA was at 4, but as usual chen wanted us to come early by one hour to warn-up, stretch, and whatever else that needed to be done. I didn't really now how to get to Chua Chu Kang (CCK) stadium, so the javeliners decided to meet up then go together. We were supposed to meet at Yew Tee MRT at 1430 to take 307 to the stadium, so I left at 130, went to Novena, and hopped on the train. I was just leaning against the metal pole when suddenly a tall figure came towards me. He tapped me on with his shoe bag. WHOA! It was Jeriel Lam. Lam had SAAA also, so we were talking on the train happily. He was supposed to get off at CCK cos the long-dist people were there. Then he started complaining about being too early. That's when I found out that I was 35 min early. We were like BORED so we decided on dropping off at Yew Tee and laming around. We were GREATLY disappointed when the ONLY "shopping mall" was a two-storey high building. By the way, "shopping mall" is an overstatement. Anyway, I was commenting on how that place couldn't be renovated, it was too damn old. The only way was to demolish it, then rebuild. Haha. Whatever. Anyway, the only interesting place was the arcade, which was DAMN small, about as big as my house? Then we found out that there was a shooting machine at the end. Jeez, the basket was bigger than half of the entire shooting space. The best part was that the balls at the bottom could be taken out. Hah. But being civic-minded(:P), I didn't kop a ball. (The main reason was that the basketball was not of standard size...:P) At around 1435, we left the stupid pink place and found that everyone was there. Lam left us and we got to the bus stop. The bus driver was nice enough to tell us where to stop. Yea. We got off and went into the stadium. Chen was already there with his video recorder taping the discus. Yue Jer(Javelin Senior, 17, 50m) gave us some tips and we went down the track at 1550. There were about 18 people competing this time and I was about 12th or something. In SAAA, we were only allowed four throws. Two throws, then the best eight remain, the rest bye-bye go home. No time to secure a placing, I went for a risk: Full run for all throws. When it was my turn, I was strangely calm. I ran and on my second last step, my left arm hit the javelin tip up. At that moment, I thought I was screwed. Weird. The javelin flew quite far. AND I THREW 43.61M!!! I broke my faulted PB and my non-fault PB!!! Boy, I was HAPPY! Wuxi(Javelin Mate, 14, 36-38m) was moody on that day, and I was worried about him. His first two throws sucked, then at the interval of eliminating the rest except the top eight we told him to be normal. His subsequent throws were better and eventually got silver. The most tyco thing was that the second, third and fourth distances had only a range of 10cm! Haha. Weiming was furious. Everyone thought he got second. Austin beat him by about 3cm. Well, that's it.
current mood:  high

Life is drastic. One moment it's hectic like shit, and the next moment finds you with nothing to do. One example is the morning of the recent friday. Recount: I had three tests to study for, one overdued geog assignment, four files to organise, IRS work to start on, and a hell lot of homwork. Plus ANOTHER trial(Trial 3) to prepare for. You guys get what I mean? Then on Friday night, 9p.m., after training. I HAD NOTHING TO DO. Plus I was happy with my results in the trial. :). All the homework was completed and nothing left to do.
NEXT DAY: Saturday
I went for training. Sun was bloody hot, but luckily, the PT was light. 5 sets X 20. Reasonable. But Chen, saying I had nationals, told me and Austin(Wuxi was absent, apparently from headache, cough, sore throat and flu. WUXI, U SLACKER! Haha.) that we had to do the PT FAST, because of some crap reason I can't understand. Then PT ended at around 10:30. Chen talked for a while, then we got dismissed. I got word from Deryl(Javelin senior) that Tze Chong(Shotput senior) and Li Hao(Javelin senior) were going to watch movie. OBVIOUSLY, it's the Matrix Reloaded. I'm the kind of person who simply HATES going home, not because home sucks, because my mum sucks. Once I go home, its bye-bye freedom for me until I "finish all my homework and study finish all my tests". NOW you understand my pathetic life at home. :(. Deryl lent me his home clothes because I didn't bring mine and so I was topless in and around the area of a school toilet, trying to jump around to dry off. Umm, a few people passed by. :P. Ah! A nice tip for people who want to bathe in school but have no towel.
Steps:
1. Take off your shirt.
2. Cup your hands under the tap on.
3. Raise your water-filled hands to neck-level and separate your hands. (Either in front or behind doesn't matter.)
4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you are completely clean. (And dripping.)
Well, we were supposed to meet at 1p.m. at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Passenger Service and after "bathing", it was only 11. I walked around the whole school and it was wonderful to look at school, considering that it was tranquil without the screams of teachers. Motive: Trying to find where the hell the MAD went. Rumours said that MAD was at Kah Kee Hall, so I went to take a look. What I found instead was the stupid noises created from irritating instruments. (Band, chi orch, string orch, I don't care. It just sucked.) I decided to go to the library, but after seconds of stepping into the air-conditioned surroundings, the fucking library called me; I wasn't in school uniform. Um, SO???!!! Not as if being in school uniform changes anything. I walked out of the library, and was just passing to auditorium door when suddenly it opened and Seng stepped out. I was kind of surprised, and realised that the remainder of MAD was in the auditorium. Geez, I felt stupid. Then Seng told me to follow him "coz the RGS sec 2s are somehere in the school" I followed him to the canteen, where he thought they were, but was wrong. Seng showed me the back door of the auditorium, which was normally locked, open. HAHA. I propped open the door with my foot and tried to act inconspicious. I got to enjoy the air-con. Seng went into the library and popped out a few centuries later. Then we went to the door at the top of the auditorium, where we could actually go in without the whole world looking at us. So we just sat down and watched a few lousy card tricks from this guy and his disciple. BOTH COULDN'T SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH. Tried to be funny, got more sniggers than laughs from us.
At around 12:25, I left the boring shit and went to the bus stop to catch 171 to go to Newton MRT. The bus was bloody hot and the fat woman beside me kept fanning herself while she hogged the two air-con holes. DAMMIT. What a bitch. A fat one somemore. I arrived at Dhoby Ghaut MRT and spotted a red-faced Li Hao. (The dec 3s just returned from OBS.) Was kind of surprised when I was the second one to arrive. It was already 1:10. Deryl came after a while and we waited around 10 min for the stupid Keng Fai(Shot put senior) to come. FINALLY, he smsed Li Hao to say that he was already at Plaza Singapura. Idiot. Made us waste time waiting. Then when we lined up to buy the tickets, the girl selling told us this. 1:20, 5 seats. 1:50, no seats. 2:20, no seats. 2:50, no seats. 3:20, no seats. 3:50, no seats. 4:20, there were seats available. (It was 1:24 at that time.) Waiting 3 hours for a movie? No thanks. We got the 1:20 tickets and ran into the cinema. Matrix Reloaded already started half-way. For those who haven't watched, I won't reveal the details. :P. Will just say that the storyline sucked but the effects were damn cool. Especially Neo flying. Didn't understand what the characters were saying most of the time, PLUS I was freezing. I read in the newspaper somewhere that after the credits, there would be a short preview of Matrix Revolution. After 10 minutes of fidgetting and trying hard to NOT freeze, a 40 seconds preview came out. BLOODY SHIT. After that, I went home. As usual, got scolded by my mum. BAH.
current mood:  annoyed

Phew, finally I have a day where I finished all my homework. Ok, maybe not ALL, but majority of it. Anyway, there's IDS next week and so NO HOMEWORK! YAY! But there's always a catch. No homework doesn't mean NO work. :(. Anyway, after not updating my blurty for so long, guess I'll just give a people a quick update on whatever interesting is going on in my life currently. (You might not find my life interesting, but who gives a damn?) Chen was kind of crazy, giving us THREE trials to see who was going to nationals. (For your infomation, we have 5 sec 2s in javelin and Tchs can only send 3 to the nationals.) I mean, we already had a mini-competition organised by the sec 3s and Sports day. Maybe 2 wasn't enough, but he didn't have to make us to have FIVE right? Aniway, this are the results:
Trials 1
First: Me - 36m
Second: Wuxi - 35m
Third: Frederick - 35m
Fourth: Austin - 33m
Fifth: Weiming - 32m
Trials 2
First: Me - 42m
Second: Wuxi - 38m
Third: Austin - 34m
Fourth: Frederick - 32m
Fifth: Weiming - No recorded distance
Trials 3
First Me - 41m
Second: Austin - 37m
Third: Wuxi - 34m
Fourth: Weiming - 32m
Fifth: Frederick - No recorded distance
Erm, its pretty obvious who is going to nationals. :P. Me, Wuxi and Austin.
(Note: My memory is not THAT good, so forgive me if I get the distances wrong. I didn't get MY distances wrong, in case you are wondering. :))
(Note 2: I WANT MY JAVELIN AND 4 X 100 TROPHIES!!! And the basketball too.)

9:58 pm - Sports Day Results
|
YAY! Got 2 golds and 1 silver. Javelin champion and 4 X 400 winner. :P. Haha. SOunding more and more hao lian. The silver was 4 X 100. Argh. Hee, our third runner, got pushed by the 3rd runner of 2F. :(. Ended up 2nd, losing A LOT to 2K, thanks to 2F. THANK YOU 2F! Oh fuck off. Funny part in javelin. I achieved the furthest in the 1st throw with a 38.6m. SO LOUSY. Last year the seniors got 43m for the champion. Even the fourth got 49m, better then our this year's champ. :(. Argh. Only got about 30m for the rest of my throws. Purposely jumped up and down on the fault line so that my poor seniors won't have to measure. Haha. Was DAMMIT off-form that day. Was supposed to wake up at 6, stupid handphone didn't ring. Okok, its my fault my phone screwed up. Mum woke me up at 7 and the sports meets was going to start in 20 min. Just grabbed my pants and ran downstairs. Went back up to get my spikes. Ran for about 300m just to get a stupid taxi. No, not stupid. Saved my life. 5 bucks. Cheap enough. Didn't do warm-up, stretching, or proper waking up. That's why my throws SUCKED. What I DO NOT understand is why other kept on niaoing me about my distance. "WHAT??!! 38.6m ONLY??!!" I mean, look at position 2,3,4,5. GO NIAO THEM!!! SPARE ME!!! I DID MY BEST!!! Then iSpark teachers got LAST in the teachers telematch. I mean, 2O(my class) is the class champion and out teachers were the exact opposite. :(. Then it HAD to rain. The P.E. teachers said that they would give out the prizes next time. BUT ITS ALREADY WEDNESDAY!!! I WANT MY GOLD AND SILVER!!! Hmph. Not fair. I want my basketball too. WHATEVER. Good news. IM GOING FOR SLC!!! And you people all know why I'm going for it. Hehe. That's it.
current mood: cranky

9:20 pm - Freedom

Yay. Mum went to Malaysia for two days. Today's the second. Went to hee's house three times this week. Today I left the house at about 11, went to orchad, met up with greg, and gave Annabel Tio the surveys. She went to Pacific Plaza to buy a belt for a friend. The WHOLE place was empty. No wonder it looked SO grand. The lack of noise in it. Then greg and I went to hee's house. Jeriel was already there, playing (guess what?) DUH aardwolf. (I think that's what it's called). Greg, hee, and me went to play basketball, me and greg vs. hee. The final score was 7-4. We won. DUH. But hee was good. Greg then FORCED us to go upstairs to do history drama script. We were slacking around, with hee and I playing magic. Greg was shouting at us to stop. When we finally did, ALL three of us started to play with our hps. :P. HAH. Greg was trying to compose a coke song, but it sounded WAY weird. Then hee and I were composing the "He's fucking bald now" song. Haha. Finally kao arrived and we started to do some work. OKOK, I admit, I was mostly slacking. After a LONG LONG while, yarn FINALLY arrived. me n lam had nth to do, so we went downstairs and played basketball. (Found that my alleys were quite good.:)) Then hee n yarn appeared, and I wanted to play team. Too bad the rest wanted to play soccer. Kao joined us and we were playing monkey. Monkey had to CATCH the ball. :( I was the first monkey. Then lam tried to chip over me. I think he kind of FORGOT I could JUMP. Haha. Then it started to drizzle but we continued playing. Then the fun part started. Hee was trying to pass to yarn, and he STRETCHED out his LONG legs. Oops. He felled. Hehe. *snickered in an evil way* Then yarn had three falls. Gosh. He just DIDN'T want to take off his stupid shoes. Too BAD. Me, lam n kao didn't have any.:D.Greg left in a fit of anger because he said we were too unserious and slacking. Then after that i fiddled with hee's tiny com and tried out the cute camera. Was doing a documentary on the house and the people in it.:P. Funny parts were created by yarn and hee. Went home at around 730.
Aww, shaun is so nice as NOT to write anything bad on his blog except "tay sucks =D". So I decided to call him SHAUN SEE-TOW TING XUAN again. :D
