World of Nuts!

Tekong so far. and many 1st times

2010-11-06T22:58:00.003+08:00

wow din touch this blog for 2 months le. yep shows that im back to my slack self again.

haha POP-ed successfully from SCS, seen the last of pasir laba camp for my NSF life i guess. the day of posting was epic. really epic because i almost tio charge together with a group of friends. really lucky to escape that and many thanks to those who showed support right from the start, and those who hum ji stay at the back de, boo.

i guess its really too late now to say all these, but i really treasure all the times i spent with the crazy platoon 2 section 1 guys of Juliet coy... 4 months is definitely more than enough for us to bond together, considering all the times was shared. The many outfields, route marches and admin time we spent together. You guys are the reason i managed to survive all the tough training, unreasonable times. you guys are what that made my life in scs memorable, fun and meaningful. although now we will go in our seperate ways, im very sure this bond is not something that will decay along with time. I really hope the next time we meet, we will still share the same feelings for each other and have lots of things to tell each other. =)

Having to post to tekong, my life now is certainly much better. freedom like never before was given to us, as well as book outs. haha so much that we din even bother going nights out for like countless times. Rocky hill gave me a bad impression at first, but we discovered the beauty of it in less than 2 days. the horror movies and spoilt foosball table, and working table tennis table in 2nd coy annex room. the internet connection in 6th coy annex room. the squash courts with no working lights. super accessible gym and multipurpose hall. haha i really will miss these freedom when the recruits come in on tues.

last week and this week was epic. the amount of $$ spent was also epic. Me, bay and bowen went ice skating last sunday. it was my 1st time ice skating and i really dunno alot of stuffs, like need gloves and how falling will make ur butt wet. but have rollar bladed before, i can grasp the skills to iceskate pretty easily and managed to try out a few tricks. will love to do that again next time when i have the $$ again =). on the side note, curse the stupid admin people that gives sol to people. unfair bitches that dun care about the lives of people they judge. hope they will have a taste of their own medicine next time.

haha went butter fac yesterday. 1st time too. really an experience of my life to see such wild people, and also the high-ness of alcohol, feels good =). but the only thing i will say is, its not worth the money. at least not for this time. i will rather go eat another fish and co with the money. haha hope next time will be better.

recruits coming in alrdy!! it marks the end of my wake up at 8am life, and i have to camo on on monday!! With FBO!! fml man. dunno how long since i FBO camo on alrdy. sigh just my luck. =(

Back! 3sg in less than 3 weeks!

2010-09-11T15:44:00.002+08:00

woo hoo! i nv expect to survive so well in taiwan XD. well what i can type here is limited.

1st of all, taiwan's weather is all out to f us up. it gets bright like 5am in the morning, still quite warm and nice from 5~9, to becoming unbearably hot from 9~3, with the temperature reaching up to 38 degrees (?). Then it starts to get cloudy, and rains (or pours) for 2 hours. and then the cold night starts, luckily goretex was there to save me from the cold wind.

2ndly, someone must have placed an anti typhoon shield around taiwan. i mean, what are the chances of having 5 typhoons form up near taiwan, and non hitting it. but im grateful for the one and only typhoon warning we had.

lastly, the Taiwanese people are indeed friendly! haha.

And when the training ends, there was admin hell as expected, but life was certainly better, with hell lot of food ordered every night haha.

R&R day 1! : we went to 九族文化村 for its rides. sadly the UFO ride was closed and the most fun ride we had was the fast 360 degree rollar coaster. Justin dropped his wallet during the ride and emo-ed for like the rest of the time there, but luckily it was found when the rides were closed to search for lost items. there was alot of school kids there too... how i envy their schools, the students have long hair, color here and there, and gets to go to theme parks.

Then we went to the earthquake musuem. it was certainly as boring as u can expect it to be, but there again we see many school kids. makes me really wonder they study at all or not?? haha. The destroyed school was really nice to see, too bad i din have any cameras with me =/

for free and easy we went to xi men ting, its like their orchard road. alot of shops there, alot of people there. din manage to find anything i like there thou.

R&R day 2 : another theme park, this time it has less rides, but some interesting animals to show. the white tiger was sleeping when we visited it -.- the sheeps were ultra hungry as whenever people enter its area, they will crowded around (because the people will feed them with the 20nt food) haha the toucan was dam impressive to see in real life =)

九份! its the nicest place to go of all! haha its a town built entirely on the slope of a mountain. everywhere is stairs and the shops and like along the stairs. thats not the most weird part thou. we climbed all the way up to the top, only to realised its a freaking primary school on top! which saddist came up with the idea to build the school on top of a mountain to make the poor kids go up and down the stairs everyday man... haha the 芋圆 was nice, dam Q and together with the nice scenery the seats have, facing the seaside below us. oh and when we went there, there was a typhoon nearby, so the wind there was really dam strong. the stronger winds can easily make a person lose balance. bought quite alot of food there.

基隆 was the place we went for dinner. its the seaside that we saw when we were up at jiu fen. there was quite alot of seafood restaurants there... ok there nothing much there in fact. oh ya, the view of jiu fen in the night from ji long was great, its like alot of stars on the slope of the hill. haha

fne again, this time we went to the famous shilin night market. its like less night marketish than i expected because the food stalls really had shop houses, not like pasar malam type. the clothes there are quite nice and cheap (thou very lousy quality). spent alot of my money there X_X

day 3: went to wu fen pu at the wrong time. shops were closed and everything is so boring there. then we went to xin guang san yue, some departmental store famous in taiwan. haha its not really interesting other than the lift ladies there. then we went shopping in ximen ting again, well i guess its the nicest place to shop in the day afterall haha. many people as per usual. oh and taiwan trains also us ez link card, and their one way ticket is in the shape of a coin, that you have to scan to go in and drop into the gate to go out. interesting.

flew back to sg at 930, landed at 130am. dam shag le hahah

Good bye sg, for 3 weeks.

2010-08-20T18:39:00.002+08:00

3 more hours to going out of home, 5 more to reporting, 8 more to flying off. The present me is filled with uncertainties. How am i going to adapt there? How tough will the training be? Can i get to R&R safely?

But the most problem that trouble me the most: being disconnected from the world i know, for 3 weeks. I had experienced not going home for 2 weeks +, and the withdrawal symptom of not slping on my bed was obvious... i really will miss my bed.

I will try my best, to do my part there so as to not make trouble. i really hope i can enjoy the training as much as i did in grandslam! haha the UO was enjoyable afterall XD. but this time there's no UO. D=

Of course, right after this 3 weeks of shagness, im going to start with my plan; getting an aim and gain some skills within this NS time =). i cant wait for what's awaiting us after this trip to taiwan. im going to lead a more fulfilling life!

Haha a quote i stumbled upon on a blog of a aslc-er : 万事俱备只欠台风 <-- bullseye man.

Let my training start well, progress well and end well - Roz

< 1 week b4 taiwan

2010-08-16T15:34:00.002+08:00

The life you have today is the result of many, countless decisions you have made in your life. I believe this is what many of you know, but i realised something more; the decisions made earlier in life more often than not causes a greater impact on life later.

After a talk with my wushu seniors in mac on sunday, i realised what they say is true. The 2 years in army, be it u do nothing or do something, has to be wasted in army. Many things you can do now should be done, because if not you might not have to chance to do it when the no. of commitments increases in uni. 2 years isn't short, and it is probably enough to build a strong foundation in anything that i am interested in.

But i am still like what i was, a procrastinator, that dreams but does nothing. No matter how much i want to get myself now something to commit on, to build up within these 2 years, another part of me will tell me, get it done after taiwan. So thats it, i MUST, within the 3 weeks in taiwan, find out what i really want to do, and start immediately after coming back.

3 things i want to improve within the 2 years: my fitness, my skills in many areas which i will think up in taiwan and my social circle, which i see is pathetically small.

2 years, maybe it isn't that enough afterall.

2 weeks of slackz

2010-08-09T11:42:00.003+08:00

The worst of singapore has passed! woah i have been slacking so much this week that i din update, hope i can still remember what happened XD.

wahaha grandslam 2 ended rather well with funny road control point scenarios. Especially the epic win by rioters in one of the other platoon's scenario. the heli ride was considerably long and enjoyable =). being able to see to msia, around singapore from high above the ground is always a good feeling =). and yea, chinook's back is nv closed fully haha. Oh and i will nv forget how shag it is to carry a bloody manpack and route march =/

For the week after grandslam,

Sun: Platoon live firing was NOT the main part i think is memorable. Its the setting up of the target boards for the support fire base. the slope is SOOO steep and hard to knock the target boards into. it was really tough =.= why din the rain rain throughout the day? din we all pray enuf T_T. i sprained my left leg twice and yea its still painful up till now.

Mon: slacking day. doing practically nothing but prepare for 32k CSB march. and really did nothing. perhaps monopoly dealed a few times.

Tues: the revision for the march was quiteeeee redundant. and yep well needed rest was given so as to fuel the 32k march in the night. started marching at arnd 2010 along the new route which i think is btr XD. 2 rounds around the camp was boring but the 2nd 4km was not bad as there was more songs. the march was conducted at near OC pace =.= and rest was only 15mins unless there is a station (luckily weapon handling station took up quite alot of time)

Wed: continued marching and (insufficient) rest time was given. Thnx to donovan who continuously listened to my senseless talks, i feel less tired until the last 8k or so. haha thats when the fatigue sets in. blisters start to feel more painful, the previous sprain acts up again, lack of brain juice to continue talking. luckily it was only 8km left, in which there was a long rest time for river crossing. just to note, my fieldpack totally would have failed the waterproofing part, i suppose my bayonet poked a hole in the plastic bag ba =(. and HAHA i bobo-ed for the last shooting part, 5/10 XD. but oh well its still a pass and soon i will get my cute lil rifle on my chest =)

Oh ya i nearly forgot. we went for nights out despite being in a near-dead condition XD. Night out rocks XD.

Thurs. recovery day. supposed that night out could have started at 12noon, we had ours at 5+. sigh why cant army just let us enjoy? so we practically 'area cleaned' from 12 to 5. Ate at crystal jade, which i made a big mistake ordering the cold spicy chicken. DAM SPICY CAN, so in the end my buddies split up the food while i koped abit of theirs too. Went on to eat Mr bean's peanut pancake, dam nice and filling and cheap =).

Fri: SOC was great because i din have to do it XDDDD. well good news is that our bunk all passed soc =). the NE presentation was crap and due to some guy without commonsense we were forced to listen to OC's speeches until book out was delayed again from 12 to like 1230++. sigh but not like i have anything on too. XD

Sat: Mahjong-ed at my house =D. really long time since i last saw yiping and yi wei and bayz XD. yiwei grew really tall, sigh why am i like the only one still stuck at 173 =/. yiping was on owning spree b4 lunch and after lunch, i think i was the one XD. i had a hand so good that it was ting4 pai2 once i got it, and i won it at the 3rd round. dui dui hu! haha dam ownage, too bad not tian hu only. Went out with the usual gang at around 8pm (crazy eh). ate Just Acia while alvin was suffering from some withdrawal symptoms. haha went on to mac and talked about whether should we change our choice of course. i would i i have the choice =/ sigh accountancy was really what i preferred ba. but business is good too i guess =) hope the uni life as business student will improve my social skills and quick thinking =) kim yong's defn of value-add i guess

Sun: Went out with family to visit relatives. its my nephew's 1 month old celebration! haha din manage to take any pics with that cute lil guy thou. that house was at the pinnacle, apparently the tallest HDB block with a sky garden on top (50th floor). Well the bad thing is that even residents have to pay to visit the sky garden. Hm.. but the view on top is really good and will be even better at night. i visited it in the day so yea, pretty much was roasted by the sun. i could see bukit timah hill, sentosa, jurong island and the whole chinatown from there (outram park). so it was really quite nice. And also the cars and buses were so small its like miniature models. must really be rich to stay there =/

Now its mon! and im doing nothing. haha. 24+ hours more to book in and yea, meanwhile i should wait to celebrate the nation's bday ba! hope i can find something interesting to do =/

damn.

2010-07-25T16:31:00.002+08:00

time passes really fast eh? in 3 hrs time i will be booking in for one of the most scary part of aslc - the grandslam 2.

For this week, i can say it is really quite enjoyable =D

Monday was slack, learning about heli-ops was quite interesting.

Tues was supposed to be the day i do my SOC, but due to rain, it was cancelled and we spent most of the time lepaking in bunk XD

Wed, our CSB navi test. It was really a pity that we missed 1 checkpoint but we did manage to reach the end point right on time =D. Really funny how we tried to bash to the endpoint as fast as possible to reach the timing. Also,seeing the bridge so high above our heads, climbing down and up mini 'cliffs', seeing fireflies and also the run away from chasing flashlights (XD) was some interesting experience =)

Thurs: the day i PASSED my SOC =DDDDDDDDD and had my longest nights out. used it to play pool with jw and eat kfc with jw and sai. amazingly that day the radar was flashing quite often XD. you know what i mean =).

Fri: ultimate tekan day. which probably made us all see a point, when u tekan someone too much, it just has a negative effect. Had alot of fun playing bball and frisbee =D. cheering was good too with our considerably high morale. loading of grandslam stores was troublesome but luckily we had understanding pple who helped us out throughout and not slack.

Sports Day! was delayed due to cat 1, then volleyball and basketball was allowed, followed by 7min soccer matches which nearly always result in penalty kick to decide the victory. our road relay team indeed showed their imba power and truimphed as 1st. our bball team unfortunatedly lost in semi finals and clinched a 3rd placing. tug of war was funny that echo actually had a girl inside. i totally din care about the volleyball which obviously we got kicked out in the 1st round.

i felt that alpha cheer was great, and they probably should have been 1st for their effort and design. sai kang after the event was done pretty quickly and we got to book out at around 12. =D Juliet was 2nd placing in the event, only behind lima which i have no idea why they won =(.

Went out to eat with ky and ws, and realised how bad my voice was after the cheer, resulting in me not wanting to speak alot. talked about alot of random stuffs and per usual =).

Argh, now i have to prepare to book in, 1.5L of water and watch not settled yet. see how ba

???

2010-07-18T12:57:00.003+08:00

Ok i really cannot summarise this week's experience with a title.

Well it was indeed kinda fun to see new 'juniors' (who are same age as us -.-) to come into the sch. but seriously, what we know more than them is only 2 months more of experience here.

Lower mandai is really a unique experience. especially the dangerous swamps and thorns. bashing you way to the lights only to meet with a wall is a once in a lifetime kind of feeling man.

Well, am i actually an introvert or an extrovert? this is really hard to determine, afterall i like the company of friends, the feeling of being able to simply talk about anything with them. but again, many times i keep feelings to myself, comments remain in my head only. It turns out that even i myself find that im as boring as it can get to talk to, because the conversation will probably head to nowhere, aka no progress or get expected answers. I really want to understand myself more, why is it that i cannot voice out my thoughts.

well if anyone happen to be wondering why the sudden emo sort of post, its because i became aware of what is happening around me. how amazingly i can sort of blend into the surrounding and turn invisible. how my voice can be unheard no matter how hard i try. how i get lost trying to follow convos, and even if i dun get lost, the convo will be short because of my responses. how annoying i can get too.

i guess people shld really develop a manner of communicating with each other more effective than words alone.

A week with only extended day's out, no nights out

2010-07-10T11:51:00.003+08:00

hiong X_X. try running 8k on tues, 10k on wed, and route march 12k up and down the hill on thurs. together with fast march on fri.

rly cui alrdy, and what's worse is that THIS WEEK HAS NO WEEKENDS for me.........................

sigh cant we even rest fully after doing so much.

This week - too many things happened, no pictures taken.

2010-07-05T10:03:00.002+08:00

What to do leh, army wad. No camera =(. Hope these memories wun fade away that easily even without pictures =/

Monday : 1st time crossing a long kang! came out wet and smelly but it was actually quite enjoyable to just lie on my back and pull the rope.

Tuesday: 1st time spending a night under an expressway! woot now i know why illegal immigrants like to slp under expressways/bridges so much. its really a much btr choice than staying in the jungle.

Wednesday: DURIANS!!!!! haha 1st time seeing a durian drop from a tree, picking it up and eating it FRESH. hahahaha. slping under the expressway is still a +++ experience

Thursday: shag day. esp when need to send arms that time. zzz but still the crap about buffets was motivating when somehow everyone has a false info of nights out ._.

Friday: Fun!! its when we realise how a slit can kill. how stupid cowboy fights still happen in today's life. the UO place is really impressive and new!! with every window fixed with some flashing device, and corners filled with security camera. How i wish the prata house was real T_T. tio turnout. =(

Sat: stressed, cuz need send arms again. armskote really is the most stressful job u can get in army man, pity our company's armskote man. had a 2 hr nights out which was spent at BK. Really a nice burger to take out the ration taste in our mouths =/

Sun: Dam happy to see alot sms during midnight! =D thnx!! Fired the impressive demolitions

to celebrate my bday and really very lucky that i can book out T_T. realised how disconnected i m from the world alrdy.

tt summarises my week. quite shag but memorable ba.

experiencing is believing

2010-06-27T13:01:00.002+08:00

I remember the days when i was still in pri, sec sch, when i was still ignorant of how precious those times will get. When i insisted that i want to grow up to get out of school, no matter how much the adults say about childhood being the most enjoyable. In a flash, i have really grown up, no longer schooling, and what i heard in the past was the painful truth. What i feel that army has taught me the most is that time is precious, and waits for no man. Every minute during book out counts, and even if there is nothing to do, the time to book in continues to draw closer.

There are countless, rly many times that i wished i took more pictures last time. Our human mind rly is limited when coming to remembering past events. Althou we can remember the times that we cant forget (ok this is hard to explain) like the SYF, A-lvls sort, we tend to forget about times we had together, like times we ate at KAP, went to LAN, movies or even just sitting at the raintree/oasis talking cock. Pictures will play a big part in helping us remember these precious times, filling up the gap which makes us feel that our lives are 'uneventful'.

Well, due to the troublesome-ness of taking alot pictures and uploading it, i think a blog about what happened weekly or fortnightly will suffice =). For this week...

We Had TWO Nights Out!!

Haha and its on wed and thurs somemore, 2 consecutive nights out. I guess our command team really was very kind to us =). For the 1st nights out, my bunk's lao jiaos actually did nothing. We only went to camp at burger king for seats (but failed miserably) and then went to banquet where we crapped about banana heaven XD.

For the 2nd nights out, my bunk's some pple went for a movie together! Knight and Day is really what u can expect la, typical Action comedy romance sort of movie where the guy can walk while having bullets flying around him just to kiss the girl.

Range was crap ><. im a bobo shooter than got 24/48 probably -.-

Our Staff talked alot about leadership for this week, the rabbit story, the plasticine story, and made me really wonder, what leadership is about. How can people make others do things willingly for them. How can effective leadership make friendship and duty compliment each other. Well im still far from understanding it.

What i want to understand asap now will be, why many people say that army life is one of the most memorable time a man have in his life? For now, im really repeating history. I dread going army like i dread going school. So if i miss school now, will it mean i will miss army next time? I have experienced it already, thus i believe that what people say is true, so how indeed is army memorable?? Someone please enlighten me before army life goes away and i start missing it somehow again.

1st time going to TPY NLB after countless years!

2010-06-20T18:06:00.003+08:00

wow i wonder what hit me... i actually made a special trip to tpy library! ok not really special cuz i also wanted to photocopy stuffs and claim my safra freebie (a cool digital photoframe!).

So yea, i walked into the cold building which was filled with diligent students ranging from secondary to JC or poly mugging there. I actually wanted to borrow some books to read (probably influenced by ws, alvin and ky) so i went to the teens section of the library on the 3rd floor. but yep the trip was futile after realising that i really have no interest in the books i found there. =(

Also, i realised the photocopying machines there require credit cards to pay. Haiz so it was indeed quite a wasted trip back the the library, althou having lots of nostalgic feeling of the times i used to visit it once every week or so in my pri sch days. I walked quite a long distance from the library to the safra clubhouse. On the way i saw the track of tpy stadium. There was alot of people there to my surprise, and yea it really seems like im the only one up till this age to not have tried running in a stadium based on purely my own intention =/.

Walking back to HDB HUB, i passed by the swimming pool which i haven visited since b4 enlisting. It has alot of people in it, a rather big contrast than when i last swam there during a weekday. haha kinda made me miss the days b4 enlisting when i have all the time in the world to do things i like. now im really deprived of my personal time and space, and this will have to go on for another 1 year 6 months.

ORD... when will it finally come??

A day (and night) in town!

2010-06-20T01:27:00.003+08:00

Woah, it seems like ages since i last went to town area. Althou flooded 3 days ago, the affected shops were alrdy back to business as per usual today. Abit disappointed here, haha.

went to shop around ion, wisma and isetan. After window shopping for very very long, we finally got hungry and took the circle line to suntec, and bought a cheesy lunch- cheese cake + cheese buns, made me really full and sick of cheese ><.

then we decided to slack around mac, to talk alot of crap. i bought a cup of starbucks coffee, which is hot, and yea it wasnt that nice compared to the frappucino. i guess i prefer cold drinks XD.

saw a series of performance by fighter jets and heli. one of it was really scary! the jet flew at fast speed and made an extreme turn and then flew vertically upwards, Then like DROPPED (not flew) downwards and finally flew back off. wow i thought i will only see that type of scene in A-team (a nice movie btw =D)

then we went to esplanade the waterfront there, in which a pleasant surprise awaited us. there were fireworks suddenly when some pianist was playing (which i pity the pianist cuz the loud booms from the firework probably covered his music). Anyway the fireworks was fascinating to see in such close proximity! its even closer than when u go to see it from the ndp itself. i will seriously recommend anyone who wants to see fireworks to go there and enjoy the night there =).

my last normal book out le =(

end of block leave T_T

2010-06-15T17:31:00.002+08:00

argh. i cant believe i still have 1 year 6 months to go. when will uni life come?? despite grumbling so much, i actually dun wan uni life to come so fast. I want to achieve many things before it, so that i can enjoy my uni life ttm!

The many things i want to achieve:
1: Grow fatter i guess i dun need much explaination on this one

2: Be a more confident speaker and not sound like a weirdo sometimes
3: Decide on a cca i am really interested in and willing to commit in AND practice it beforehand so that i dun go in as a complete newbie =)

4: Get to know more friends and if some enters the some course it will be quite interesting, even if not i can know even more friends then perhaps

5: Get to see more places many places i really haven been to before =(
6: Somehow fix my weird hair but that will need to wait till i grow some hair =.=
7: Be more aware and observant to things around So as to not miss out any fun =)

haha that shld have been posted during new year's eve, as new year resolutions. Oh well, its my pre uni resolution! as much as i can im alrdy working on it, but the progress is... abit slow.

really hope i will have more free time in my ns life to pursue my goals and not saf's. sigh

another 13 weeks to go

2010-06-13T11:38:00.002+08:00

Looks like im fated to go tekong eh. Haha i got into aslc. Another 13 weeks in the "juliet" company doesnt rly sound exciting, but there is a sense of security since i will be around with people i know

Went to bball from afternoon to night yesterday. Personally i find that my fitness improved, but agility or such deproved like mad. i guess army makes one grow brawl but lose all else. -.- should make use of this block leave to get back those things =)

7/8 done!

2010-06-06T12:24:00.002+08:00

Wow! SCS life really passes much faster than life in tekong. in a flash, 7 weeks have passed. Well i must say SCS gave me both good and bad memories, alot of chances to reflect upon myself, and probably made me stronger.

This week was indeed shag, as there was no time to slp for 3/4 nights there.
Monday: Damn rifle cleaning. indeed a shag day and also the day that i tio my 1st extra/confinement? haha luckily it wasnt on a weekend =)

Wednesday: Being a prowler and 1 hr of gate ic. the SCS dog was really fun to patrol around with =)(except for the part that it tried to bite me during turnout.)

Thursday : Was on the 2nd/3rd bus back from walking in nature (where we saw lizard(?) eggs, opened an unripe durian, bashed through shoulder height vege), but last 5 teams to finally get back to bunk DUE TO RIFLE CLEANING. O damn i really hate that.

Thinking back, i must been quite an ass on thursday and friday, rushing quite abit sometimes when we have so much time left. This is a really bad habit for me, always being like a kan jiong spider worrying about random stuffs. But i think it is always good to still have abit of sense of urgency in doing things, so that i can rly rest without worrying if the task will be completed in time.

On a side note, i m officially a heartsaver! haha although i haven get the card for it. The lesson was well delivered in a funny and engaging manner, helping me remember how to help others next time if someone chokes or even has a heart attack.

Yesterday was also the 2nd time i revisit bishan J8, the 1st time being 1 week ago. It is really nostalgic to see the old route i used to walk from home to sch and back home. I even bought the same things (strawberry milk tea + shilin chicken cutlet) on the way back as i used to during my secondary school days. I must admit that during my secondary school days, i never knew i will miss it that much. Afterall, it is really nothing exciting, nothing interesting. But somehow, it just feels like i should have done more things during the days, when i really have that much time on my hand to walk around looking random places. Indeed, NS makes people want to treasure their personal time more, but it is still very important to once in a while, take a step back and relax, really doing nothing but just relax.

Also, it was really very long since i last visited the market near my house. I never knew how crowded it would be on a saturday until yesterday. The vibrant night there made me wonder how much good food have i missed out there. Perhaps i will go there more often next time to try out the food =)

O yea, the happy hour was really well prepared! kudos to the organising com for making it quite a memorable night for us. But i must say i feel bad for the 2 'angels' (haha) dancing alone with all of us paiseh to go up and dance too. Comon u cant really except a group of NS dudes who dunnoe how to dance to dance around 2 girls right? but yea, the $2 beer was enjoyable, and so was the food and touching video made by our lecture room IC (who got himself employed for 4 more months =) )

well, just 1 more week left. Whether i stay or not its not up to me, but i just want to get it done and over with

NUS BizConnect!

2010-05-30T14:28:00.002+08:00

Woot! rly excited about uni life now! After attending the tea session for NUS Biz (which as a semi formal event with lavish buffet =D ), i can see that uni life is rly much more fun and interesting! too bad i still have 2 years more to wait =(

the Dean of NUS Biz is a gentle middle-aged man, who speaks with passion and yea, he did a great job intro-ing to us about his sch. to be truthful, that part of the tea session was quite boring, so i rly have nth much to say about it haha. Then we went on with the buffet which has nice dishes like satay, some cheesy things and honeydew sago =D! the food was rly nice and we spent quite alot of time eating XD

Moving on we went on a sch tour, which we visited the Sheares Hall and the business building itself. The hall life i see looks rly interesting as everyone has their own cosy room, which i can see they painstakingly decorated and funished to their own liking. also there was a lounge with alot of pillows and sofa, and aircon haha at every floor. we also went to the rooftop to check out the scenery around (thou all i see was the busy ports of singapore and other halls). I must say that its abit stuffy inside the hall itself thou XD

The business building was nicely designed and i can see that its fairly new. We went into one of the seminar rooms and its basically what you expect it to be, 2 screens showing the powerpoint slides, seats in a U shape and aircon. the person presenting seems to be some big shot pres of bizzad, and i must say he is rly quite eloquent.

While the others mostly continued with their FREE movie screening at vivo (shrek 3!!), we din go and went to meet up with kung yin and ws. Then we basically talk cock (in carl's jr AGAIN) thoughout until 10+ and went home as per usual

Hm... maybe its time we find some other places with free flow drinks so that we wun need to go carls everytime we wanna talk cock.

Vesak day!

2010-05-28T00:19:00.002+08:00

Finally! booked out on a thursday =D this week is sure a short week, but it felt very long. After 5+2 days of outfield and field camps, i realised my physical fitness dropped like mad. Now i cant even do 10 proper pushups! and running 5k was hell to me. Thanks to the guys who encouraged me throughout the run, i din fall out for the 5k run. Made me realise how much more i can push myself with motivations from friends =)

As the end of bslc draws closer and closer, things like happy hour, nights out are sure to be something to look forward to! however there are still events like section live firing, ROUTE MARCHES, that really makes me sian 1/2 on the thought of it. Some of my peers have gotten their interview for the much feared vocation (make a guess haha). Luckily im not one of them and yep! it means i have more chances of getting a slack vocation now =)

this long weekend will be a much needed rest for me, to recover from the field camps and ready myself for more to come. Zzz time to sleep!

Disappointed

2010-05-22T19:30:00.003+08:00

Well actually i have only been to 1 field camp and several out fields... but yea this one proves to be something i think i will remember for at least 10 years down the road...

It was certainly NOT a nice experience. Not talking about the 10+ blisters i have on my foot due to wet socks, nor my fingers all poked by thorns. Not even the hot sun that made me close to losing my sanity. I was really disappointed at myself for being far from the standard expected; being unable to think when shagged, able to help, unable to make this field camp experience a happier one. Nothing i say now can change what that has been done, but all i wish is that this will be a really strong lesson that we have learnt from the hard way, everyone's relationship will remain close and strong as ever, and we will enjoy while doing our best for the more to come.

Easier said than done, another outfield will be waiting for us. Hopefully i can be less of a hindrance and more of a help to pple. this time i will make it a point to be the best i can.

On a lighter note, i finally received my nus bba letter of acceptance! really excited about it, but i cant accept the offer now as the system is down -.- Hope that i can remember to do it the 1st thing i come back next week!

Nothing interesting~

2010-05-16T18:29:00.003+08:00

Friday : Booked out from SCS. Cursed the bus 157 i was on for hitting like every red light on the road -.- Reached home and slacked until the next day ._.

Saturday: Woke up at 1pm! hahaha was supposed to meet my gang at 3.15pm... but was glued to the chn 8 show (我在你左右) my mum recorded until i left home at 330 ><. Took train to city hall and rushed to marina square Carl's Jr, only to realised the guys were at Dhoby Ghaut Carl's Jr......

Went to WAIT for the bus 36... for at least 35mins. I really wonder if the bus service was still running?? Gave up on waiting and took the circle line to dhoby ghaut, and finally meeting up at arnd 5pm, which caused us our chance to watch Ip Man 2 this weekend T_T (because there was really no more movie slots after 5... even the 7pm one was sold out!)

Chilled at Carl's for the rest of the day, with ky challenging everyone arm wrestling -.- Man i really shld do more push ups i guess haha. at arnd 10 + when Rec Lee and Sir-to-be Daryl joined, there was actually a fire alarm activated o_o There was burnt smell and smoke coming from dunnoe where, and announcement calling pple to evacuate plaza sing, but everyone around just stayed and continued with what they are doing. haha luckily it was a false alarm (but where did the smoke come from?!)

O and on the way back to MRT, some random group of girls fell on the escalator. haha despite having FAD with us, we decide that eye power suffices for that situation XD.

Sun : Rotted at home! haha as always. Had a dota pub game which i FINALLY din feed when i solo mid. haha won in the end as our motred was on mega kill streak ._.

Haha basically the weekend is spent like there and really, nothing interesting to speak of. Off to eat the niceee prawn mee my mum bought!

Booking in in 30 min's time! field camp T_T

SCS games day!

2010-05-08T23:33:00.003+08:00

WHO ARE YOU! HOTEL COMPANY! wooo

hahaha i guess my company is really unique in this point =D. I guess coming to SCS is really not bad, we even have games day that has bball, soccer, volleyball, tug of war and rally! back in bmtc the games day was like... not so fun.

Haha hotel managed to get the 2nd place while golf coy did really well to clinch 1st place with 10+ points lead x_x. Well i guess having sch team players in ur team really make a difference...

Tug of war: Wow i really think the players did well in pulling together as we can see the distinct advance when everyone shouts PULL! haha it was dam ice to watch =D

Bball: While our team was king of 1 of the courts, the other court had actions that are... very different. I was really shocked to see like 3 times 2 players snatch the ball and violently swing the weaker one round to get the ball... i mean no point making pple OOC just for that possession right? anyway our team did great to clinch 2nd place and it was an action packed (and peaceful) final! thats wad tt is most important right?

Rally: Wooo Man and Jeroen! you guys really gave it ur best shot and run like got bullet chasing behind you eh! hahaha amazing race!! i suppose you guys can break record with this kind of performance (if a record was kept...)

Well for the others i did not really take notice of the games XD. Hotel did pretty well for cheering too, with the different entrance of 'Room service~' haha. fits the hotel theme like a T =)

All the things about the games day was great.........................except the part that its on a freaking SATURDAY! sigh resulting in no time to go out and enjoy for the weekend =(

And most importantly, i missed my juniors' concert!! sigh. i gathered that it was really well done and even had full house! haha really wished that i could have been that to experience it myself... well i just hope that a cd will be produced and given to us seniors =) or at least let us have a chance or watching it, perhaps on harmoc chalet? haha

Argh, im still suffering from abit of heat rashes and mosquito bites! its really amazing because i never had mosquito bite from ever since god knows when! its like even during field camp i din get bitten and now on some hill i got... tekong mozzies < sg mozzies

finally! 3 weeks of SCS has past! hahahaha not looking forward to book in, like always.

There has to be someone out there living an exciting life, why cant that person be me?

2010-05-02T12:26:00.004+08:00

Dam, why cant i be born with some sort of special power! ok i know thats ridiculous, but seriously all i want is an exciting life. My life now can only be described with 1 word; BORING. During LD lesson there was a value list, in which the very 1st thing tt caught my eye was 'exciting life'. If i was given a choice, i will certainly make that my top value to uphold in my life. Everyone gets to live once only right? So isnt it logical that everyone wants it to be exciting and enjoyable? Someone, pls just bring me into an exciting new world.

Despite the 2 weeks of scs being quite enjoyable... things are certainly going in the wrong direction. Losing our boss's faith in us within 2 weeks isnt a small feat but yet still accomplished. now the remaining 6 weeks... or even 21 weeks... i dun know how will life become...

This week's bookout is probably the last few friday book out i have =( , cuz my SOC timing rly quite jialat. plus the TSR test... sigh. but it is rly one of the most fruitful bookouts i had because i had the most imba lesson in my life, at bugis junction mac. hahaha its like a total eye-opener for me, and hopefully this lesson will guide me through my life =)

on the side note, iron man 2 was rly nice! go watch it if u all have some money to spare for superhero comedy movies. =D

SISPEC! or rather, SCS!

2010-04-17T22:47:00.002+08:00

Well haha, the fate of my next 2 year's life has been decided. Hopefully it will be a fun and meaningful one =D (like in leopard~)

1 week of block leave really passes much faster than i thought... now im left with only 1 day. Being in sispec will mean that i have to tahan 6 months of training before getting the rank... i just hope the 6 months passes equally fast XD.

During the block leave, other than the mass outings i went for, i actually wasted alot of time thinking about my life now. After seeing how a person could alrdy have made a name for him/herself at my age really made me wonder, could i have done the same? Does this kind of thing require talent, luck or perseverance to achieve? If it does where is my talent, luck and in what way shld i persevere? There are many things to achieve in life, and i want at least 1 that can make my life a meaningful one.

Rly, 2 years is a loooong time. I dun wanna waste it purely on NS.

Characteristics

2010-02-28T17:46:00.002+08:00

Just out of the blue i decided to give this dust flooded place a visit, and i realised how much i might have changed. Hopefully its for the better.

Forgive and Forget? I wonder how will it turn out.

SYF '09

2009-05-01T01:42:00.004+08:00

I certainly do not know whether i should laugh or cry after hearing the result for harmoc category in SYF '09. All the band got Silver, sadly including NJHB. Well i cant say im not disappointed, as of a fact, i was VERY disappointed (by the result, absolutely by not the performance). My heart literally dropped when i heard that result.

After all that hardwork, staying back to late at night looking at the lamp flashing from orange to green outside LT1, moving chairs and instruments in LT1, the dreadful auditions, training march camp, etc etc the list goes all the way back to last year. I strongly believe we deserve better. Ok i shall not proceed on to cursing or swearing the judges as i tot i would be. We really had a very wonderful performance on stage today, and thats the most important. I am really proud to be part of this wonderful performance! NJHB HUAT AH! (haha im so cheena ><)

when i reached home i dug out my 'En Armonia' disc and the 1st song was barber of seville. Haha really shocked me how much we changed (for the better!), the starting was SUPER fast, 1st chro playing horns part (there was only 1 horn), the small-note-less running notes lolz. brings back alot of memories. I realised that the result is nothing, insignificant compared to what we have experienced the last countless months (actually not countless, im just lazy to count).

kinda regretted that we only started taking pic on the last few days b4 SYF's training, but i guess unless i have a concussion or wad, these memories will be deeply engraved on my brain. What wslee said was totally true, we might whine alot during the process of training, but when its all over, we will feel the emptiness and longing for it. O yea shld take this chance to thank our most zai kia P and VP, the SLs, the teachers for their really inspiring speeches and words, and countless (literally this time) brain cells killed for this SYF. THANK YOU!

Also, thnx to all my friends from 08S08 that sent me well wishes, SPECIAL MENTION TO LEON CHIN FOR SPAMMING MY NAME ON HARMOC BOARD. THNX AH (had my revenge thou ^^). sry weini for koping ur post-its (hey i din do it, why m i apologising? o well) Haha lets take a look at the board b4 it was taken down
This ultra vandalised piece of sheet (yes sheet), that i believe even if u take to go recycle also cannot de lor, CLEARLY shows how supported NJHB is (YES COUNSIL SHOULD HAVE PREPARED AN ENTIRE BOARD FOR NJHB!) haha, being the only board that has comments 3D wise (due to post-its) and being the first to have comments written out of the poster (i believe), HERES A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAS SUPPORTED NJHB!!

Well, NJHB, as we all know ourselves, we are dam zai. The future ahead is bright and theres absolutely no reason for us to be faltered by a tiny speck of silver dust.

Just wondering, if we have gotten GWH, will there be so much emotions invoked in most of us here? Personally i would have celebrated like mad and just felt happy. As econs 1st few lecture states, theres always opportunity cost to everything. By getting this silver, through the comforting of one another, by juniors to seniors or senior to senior or anyway u like to permutate it etc, i believed we forged a deeper bond with one another. It certainly made me treasure what i experienced in harmoc much more.

A few days ago i was still wondering, how many gigs (gigabytes) can a human brain actually hold? I believe my brain has proven to me that it's memory goes beyond measurable bytes, and language fails (or at least my mastery of any languages) to perfectly bring out all my thoughts...

Many Thnx
-Roz

p.s ROCK ON NJHB!

7 feb 2009

2009-02-08T01:00:00.002+08:00

ok. i know i have not been blogging for since god knows when. but today really is a day, that i will never forget, unlikely to forget either, and have to blog about.

woke up at 12 due to a call which hung up right before i pick it (maybe it was a hint...), with mum not at home because she went to pray at bugis there the guan yin miao (which obviously din help what happened to me later). ate my breakfast of mian jian kuey and started thinking if i shld go for the class outing or follow family go visit relative (things will have been different if i chose the other option).

in the end i still went for the class outing which was far far at lakeside... i even took my vectors notes to mug and the train (although i din at all). at sk's house see xc play dota, then the girls come we played 11 pple asshole dai di, which is quite stupid because we din deal the cards but everyone just randomly pick 9 cards for themselves. played hide and seek and was the last team to find the hider (proves my inability to find stuffs). went to jp to eat in subway and went for a movie.

This is when it starts. As the movie was selling out fast, we only got the seat for the 2nd row, which was so near the screen we have to tilt our heads upwards to see it. The movie was "The curious case of benjamin button", a movie which is about a man bornt old and grows young, and is said to have potential to be oscar norminated by my friends. In my opinion it certainly dun fit the criteria to be in my oscar awards because halfway through the movie i was bored enough to play with my handphone abit and a fell abit aslp with my phone in my hands.

my handphone dropped and it took me awhile to realise it and i started searching for it, but its not under my chair. searhed for it with my's handphone light, tried calling it but diverted to mailbox. after movie tried finding again but to no avail.

ok it would have couldnt have been worser than to lose a handphone in a day right? no. guess wad, i took the train, not knowing it was the last one and it terminates at ang mo kio. due to the subway meal and movie, i m left penniless, due to the lost of handphone, im left phoneless too. there was no train and no bus left and in the end, i ran from ang mo kio MRT back to my home. while ky says the distance is less than 2.4km, i took 20 mins to finish this journey. must have really proven how lousy my 2.4 timing is.

after reaching home, i learnt from my mum that she tried to call me at around 9 ( which was about the time that i dropped my handphone.) and it was connected for the 1st time. the 2nd time she called it was offed. so i presume that i was so unlucky that my phone shone due to the call after i dropped it and people behind saw it and took it and offed it. how unlucky can i get huh.

well, i guess it must be some sort of suayness for me to have procrastinated too much for training for my 2.4 timing that im sort of force to run today, but the price of my handphone is abit too high to pay le bah... like wad zw said, our class outing always got things lost, last time is sk's specs, but in the end he found it back, so i certainly hope my phone will be found too...

seriously not a good day for me.

weekends... ends

2008-08-17T19:08:00.002+08:00

Hm... looks like i wasted a weekend. Again.

Went to HPB sat morning... which was 99.9% wasted trip. The materials they have in the "library" was all that politically correct stuffs, methods to quit smoking etc, which can all be found via internet... And statistics require like a write in to request for loan...? I really have no idea whats the use of that library =.= (only 1 other person was there when we went there). Checked out with the librarian who asked us to go 4th floor to see if can get the quitline helpers to answer our questions or not... but then... the office has NO PPLE. tried to call the office using the phone outside but all that i tried says "pls record ur msg after the tone~" idiotic. went back to the librarian who helped us check out where the quitline pple are budden she check check, then tell us "oh sry the quitline pple say that they dun let people who are just doing a project to interview them". Fish it lor. totally waste our time @ hpb... except that we got a contact which the librarian told us will help us with logistics if needed. o well.

Was late for the nanyang kindergarden performance due to the stupid trip to HPB. 1st thing i will like to say abt NYGH after entering it: ITS DAM NICE! as in the environment. Very tidy-looking, and buildings look kinda nice with the green glass windows. and yea, their auditorium is comparable to our beloved LT5 (or NAKSPAT). haha ok the main point now. the kids from nanyang kindergarden was really CUTE! as in the performance was not like awesome or wad, but really overflowing with cuteness XD. Especially the nursery kids in the animal costumes, one of them was totally not in the correct mind of performing and walked around exploring the stage, looking at the lights behind. LOL. the most funny thing was that one small boy realised that and tried to pull her back to the performance but, yea failed. heard from the morning shift pple say that one kid actually shouted "hello papa" on the stage and tried to run down to his papa. haha can image that really XD.

Yea that performance was much much shorter than expected and went to KAP to meet up with xc for bball. his pw grp was there doing their WR (which reminds me that i should be doing it like now? -.-) yea after some crappy mapling with the wireless there, while the rest pikaball-ed and rolled marbles across obstacles, me and xc went to find basketball courts to play basketball.

We arrived in 1 conclusion. Clementi citizens (or at least the pple developing that area), Loves. Badminton. Not basketball. they practically had 5 badminton courts in an area and only 1 in a LARGE area where many pple squeezed in it. in the end played bball at some v far place and yea, i realise that lack of exercises make pple NOOB. my bball throwing posture totally sux and only managed to get a few tyco shots in T.T.

Sunday, went to interview the guy we doing on for PW. He is very friendly ^^. and funny when he talked like "tys answers". the interview was rather done in a relaxed atmosphere (i expected that of course) and after that went to KFC with MY to discuss about WR. lets just hope that it will all turn out good ^^

Well, kinda late alrdy, and i still have my part in WR to chiong. together with alot of tutorials which i dun intend to do XD. Haha good luck to me x.x

one of the most intelligent sentence i said this weekend, and i really feel that its true:
Its not wrong for pple to indulge in fantasies sometimes, as everyone needs a break from reality.

Well its about time now.

Back to reality,

Avid MSNer

2008-08-04T00:20:00.003+08:00

Hm... im not sure if avid is the correct word to use, but yea u get wad i mean.

I hereby Declare that Roz was an avid MSNer (or rather, Window Live Messenger-er)
I am, and never shall be until end of promos, be on9 on msn for god knows how long i have been.

I shall restrict myself to at most 30 mins a day to on my com to go on msn, as it proved MANY MANY time to be an extremely GREAT distraction. Yep i lack self-control blah blah, thats y i need to post this to make myself keep to it =).

Of cuz, this restriction is of lower priority than of important discussions on9. i meant, Official Important Discussion. e.g project work.

With this i will also promise to keep my handphone near me and on the volume so that anyone can still contact me via msn or calling =).

Also, not going on msn doesnt mean im not available for crapping so yea, sms-es can still be crap, sms me for a dota game and i might also agree (if im THAT free lol).

Many times I looked at the empty windows. Wanted to talk, but how to? Truly lame to waste my life away like this so might as well dun. Time can be used more productively =)

yep im done =)

Back to mugging

NDP '08 Rehearsal (from swissotel view!)

2008-08-02T22:04:00.002+08:00

Woohoo! Today i practically watched the entire NDP rehearsal from 62 storey high! XD. Took several pics but erm... quality cmi la. =p too bad, it rocks to be live there!

1stly, arrived @ swissotel lobby, took the lift that is sooooooooooooo fast that it practically cleared lv 8~38 in 8 or 9 seconds O_O. and yea the quick change in atmospheric pressure caused my extra sensitive ear to hurt ABIT... to think that normally when i go up from 1st to 8th storey my ear also will get blocked x_x.

Arrived at level 62, the corridor is as posh as any 5 star hotel u can see in Singapore of course, and went into the hotel room my aunt's family booked. the room was dam big, very spacious XD. the view of the city from it is totally AWESOME XDD. and when u look down u literally see specks of pple moving slowly...

Watched the NDP from the balcony, can see the formation by the army quite clearly and yea, the parade is boring from then on. Noticed 3 helicopters on the other side hovering round and round for like hours lol, i pity the pple on it sia. then finally 1 of the helicopter flew close, and past the floating stage for NDP.

Following was the very very fast air display by SAF, so fast that i only took 1 pic of it T.T. and the 21 cannon, in which after 1 boom an echo can be hear like 5 secs later. Wonder what reflected the sound back oO. And the very noisy firing of guns.... with some smoke.

took a picture of the sun-about-to-set, was lazy to wait till it reaches the horizon cuz it'll be blocked by the buildings anyway. My uncle was telling me how polluted the air is as u will be able to see later in the pics, really foggy view on the other end. the IR is still building, and the singapore flyer... did it move?? observed it for minutes and realised that it moves freaking slowly.

As yes, and night falls. The night view of Singapore is the NICEST i ever see. u see all those towers, then cars, streetlamps and beams of light shooting out from the floating stage (shows how polluted the air is)... all fit together to form a very very nice night view. Too bad my SE phone sux in taking night sceneries...

Then, u see the highlight of the night, FIREWORKS! haha its dam nice i tell u. REALLY NICE! being able to see it from the same height as it... and experiencing the loud devastating booms. haha really a must-experience-once-in-a-lifetime experience. u can exclude the part when the smoke drifts to u thou =x. i took a 3 mins long vid of it, but dunnoe how to upload T.T. haha next time see me ask me show u bah.

Enough of taking, now's some pics =)the singapore river, with esplanade from 62 storey!2 durian shells close up The Floating Stage! cant really see the formation unless u open the pic.My aunt with her daughter! Cute right!City view in the evening Singapore flyer, blocked by an ugly looking building ...Singapore is VERY polluted T.T u can notice 2 flags flying around Erm... dunnoe wad place is this.. haha The chosen flag Its flying lower than me!The only pic for air display.Trails left in the sky Sunset view Singapore's colorful night!Decos on the river Splendid fireworks Splendid fireworks covered by smoke T.T

Mugging or Life

2008-07-27T23:59:00.002+08:00

lol the post title sounds like 要钱还是要命 haha, but its true, mugging is killing my life soon ><

As promos are really around the corner... mugging is no longer a thing to be delayed.

Many will say that we can always balance mugging and life. Wow how easy it sounds. but yea, mugging will always have an opportunity cost of missing out many many things in life. Thus the link between mugger and no lifer.

As much as i wish to be a mugger, i wish to have life too. and as much as i wish that i can balance both and live life to the fullest, i cant.

So now i have come to a point, to make a decision between mugging and life. choosing of one obviously doesnt mean total sacrificing the other, but still, its a large part of it sacrificed.

About academic and life :

PW is getting btr, i suppose, as our group's momentum someone came up. yep continue and we'll get an A for PW! jiayous us!

Maths... still lagging behind my class. econs, LOL I HAVENT DO MY ESSAY Q8!. T.T. Physics, Yanndao We Will Miss YOU! Chem, omg i need to catch up on the lectures...

Lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

...Lol what else did u expect me to say about life? not on this blog at least.

Maybe i shld flip a coin to decide?

Mugging or Life

Achievement!

2008-07-24T21:51:00.001+08:00

I DIN SLP IN LECTURES TODAY! For like the 1^st time in 3 weeks ><

Haha apparently I passed the slping bugs to zhen hua who was beside me (*whistles innocently*), where he fell aslp while I was totally awake! Muahahah such an achievement that I have to blog it down, and constantly remind myself to not slp anymore!

Yep, jy! Dun slp liao

Stay awake,

Be happy

2008-07-23T22:40:00.004+08:00

Hm... lets start off with something more lively

Congrats too all those who made it to exco! hope to have a great time working with u all in the future =) For those who din make it, its really alright because the most important thing in life is to be happy. And what makes harmoc harmoc is all of its members, which includes everyone! You and me! hm... welfare... i think really quite a challenging job for a art F9 guy here... but rest assure! i will do my best de! And Im Sure Everyone Will Help Me Too Right ^_^ (winks).

I dunnoe if i shld really be blogging now... i think my homework is like lagging behind alot alrdy... pw is like major screw up... dunnoe if now start rushing can save or not...

About pw... screw up because really lagged behind too much... other Schools are alrdy doing WR draft, this really makes me scared... Work hard together k??

Homework is... maybe i shld really abstain from coming on9 so often... less on9 = more time focused on studies... yep, its really sooner or later that i will turn into a mugger. Full Time. (i really think that coming on9 doesnt make a big dif either, maybe just me hoping for something that isnt true)

To Stay happy,

Roz
I think the stockpile of emoness is used up... im pretty much turning back to who i was. i dun want to, but the feeling is just there. hopefully everything will just turn out find. Afterall this post's title is be happy, and its all that matters...

Harmoc Elects camp 2008 + en armonia 1.5!

2008-07-13T00:10:00.001+08:00

Hey everyone! Im back after being inactive on this blog for what seemed like months x_x!

Haha was previously very very busy juggling schoolwork (tutorials… still haven’t do sia) and harmoc farewell concert (En Armonia 1.5! haha nice name right!), and also was participating in the planning of the elections camp for harmoc! All of this ended tonight, which is really a physical and mental relieve for me, although it is really a very heartbreaking fact that we are bidding farewell to our caring and funny seniors in harmoc as they proceed on to the ultimate challenge of JC, the A-lvls.

From what I feel, it is really a VERY VERY symbolic camp + concert for our seniors, as it shows how the juniors they have been leading for the past 5 to 7 months can perform all by themselves in handling future challenges in harmoc. That’s why I can see that our harmoc members really worked very hard for it, staying back in school until very very late for concert practice, stay up in the night thinking through a lot a lot of thoughts about the camp. Given the time constraint, I believe we J1s have really done our best possible performance, although it’s certainly not perfect, but we should really just remember about the good things for things that passed (eg we survived ultra fast nan xiong nan di! Omg!!! I all of the sudden liked that song after it haha XD), while simply making a mental note at the back of our mind about what we can do better next time.

And yea, so this camp + concert really just ended today, with Gladys opening floorgates as expected. I Really Really Really Really hoped that the seniors liked it and enjoyed it.

Ok heres a brief summary of what happened today… (not really brief, but I really want to note it all down so that I will not forget this memorable day)

Camp started late @ around 7.30 and yea, it started off with the speeches made by the welfare head. Amazingly all 4 running for it was from 1^st chro! (yay we really care for everyone’s welfare). Following by other posts and yea, kinda amazingly, the speeches wasn’t boring like mad, but even to an extent of being interesting and funny. The pres speeches were most prolly the most well done one, being very prepared and nicely delievered. Then they got bombarded by questions for a very very long time, and they kinda adopted a strategy to have all of them to answer together. Really interesting to see them working together like that haha XD.

Election speeches ended pretty early and actually we had prepared a movie (balls of fury… v sick name right? XD) to screen, but problem arrived. No screen to screen it… and yea in the end it became free and easy time for everyone, while the log com pple went to golden rooster to collect the 60 packets of rice. The lunch for this camp IS the BEST lunch ever I have gotten in a camp! (Three Cheers to log com for preparing such nice food!)

After that, it was free time for seniors while juniors do their last minute practice for the concert @ evening. After that then the mass dance started, or was supposed to start, but realized that the radio wasn’t loud enough… luckily PA pushed their very effective erm (the box that projects sound from a mic?) here and yea, mass dance finally started. I guess harmoc people are really very shy as everyone suddenly turned gay/les when finding a partner to dance with. As more and more people got tired, after the 10 mins break there was really few left dancing. I was suffering very badly trying to learn the girls dances as it is awkward, weird and totally new to me. But yea, luckily jeaness and jaslin broke off from their lesbian pairing to break my gay pairing with chin meng and I finally can dance like a man! (I think XD) Tio Saboed to dance infront… but really have to consider the feeling of the com pple if we were to keep rejecting right?? See we are such considerate people lor… I was pretty sure my dance was stiff and awkward and ugly x_x but heck haha, fun can le =)

Then we proceed to the station games in which the 1^st one was @ amphi… where we had to blow balloons in a given time and tie it to our shoe. Then we were to step and bust the opponent team’s balloons to earn points… but smart people like us know that if balloons blow small small, sure cannot burst de, so yea, in the end both teams ended up blowing small balloons… and the fight was mainly to step off the opponent’s balloons, instead of bursting it =/ Much better this way thou cuz im really scared of balloons bursting near me T.T

2^nd station was the ultra unglam station. Tio saboed AGAIN to act gay… wear gay custumes.. haiz shall not talk about such disgusting things

3^rd station was certainly quite fun! We were given 5 chairs to cross over to the other side of the outside of the hall, in which I fell once and managed to travel back to the main line with only 1 chair (wriggled my way there =x) haha we managed to figure out the most efficient way of passing the chairs (to drag them and pass along the floor) but yea, still lost to the other team =( o ya, the center part where 2 teams met ah, wasn’t as interesting as expected, but yea, it’s a good things that it din turn violent

4^th station was the scandals station? About jumping on balloon lobster as idiotically as possible. Haha realized wee siang cant tie his shoelace pretty fast =x. and ivy is really very funny to make fun of XD. (shes pro in tongue twister!)

5^th station was the captain’s pillow station, where the most injury was inflicted on people… kim yong sprained his legs, and ber fong fell on his knees and it was really very painful for them as they cant walk very well after that. I must compliment Alvin for his superb pillow snatching skills sia. Together with ming hao as star strikers and ber fong as star defender, we won =D

Ended up that my group got 2^nd placing ^^, but yea, the distribution of of prizes was not really possible… resorted to simply opening the packets of tidbits for everyone to kopt after the concert…

After games, concert started after quite a long delay! Woah, finally reached concert XD. Was really worried for our performance as we really want to show the seniors we can elites taught by them! Haha was really impressed by other section’s sectionals, being so creative and nice singing also. The nan xiong nan di was the MOST memorable for me =x. the speed was really very very fast and we managed to maintain it! Great job by everyone =D. After that I conducted happy farm, quite ok if u were to ask me, satisfied with my performance le XD. Then got the guys items and I think I dun wanna miss a thing is really a very nice song!

The feng was very nicely sang and played too, and the ending with <> really spiced up the atmosphere I believe, leading to the senior guys shouting encore and we played canon and feng zhi qui =D. Kudos to kt for being the SC in canon and wei ni for feng zhi qiu! During the concert Gladys was alrdy very emotional liao, and yea after everything, including the voting etc etc when she made her speech, yep open floodgate le lor. Haha she cried even more badly when we three cheered for her, but yea, she really deserves the three cheers bah =D.

After dismissing, some 1^st chro stayed back for ULTRA LAME riddle guessing? Those games like black magic kind that requires low intelligence to play de lor. Zpin’s one was really so easy that I was thinking, huh? Really meh so easy omg. About the long string and short string.

Sadly all fun times have to end.. and we took several pictures before walking to the main gate, where ren’a parent fetched her and everyone else walked the side gate. The walk was filled with crappy dialogs like how starry the sky was and how close is the 7^th month from now le (3 weeks right? From kt) O ya, I shall kope from kung yin’s blog when he post the pictures bah =)

Haha, and yea, everyone was tried, after walking out, those who wanted to eat went to eat, and those who are dying of exhaustion went home x.x. Ha, finally finished blogging about today =D

Haha, today was really memorable! I dunnoe what to say but yea, its abit of happy but yet unwilling that today finally finished. Haha o well, I guess it’s about time to rest well and slp!

Good Nights!

ISAC!

2008-07-07T22:15:00.005+08:00

Haha, i just realised i still owe ALOT of post... ISAC, 1st Chro Sentosa (omg ><), 08 Sentosa.

So nvm! lets just clear the one that i have pictures on =) (boring pictures thou)

ISAC 2008! 5th jul

I was the "road usher" for a loooong looong road from tanan merah ferry terminal to SAF yacht club (together with benedict) in which teams have to walk like 30 mins to finish it ><. Whats more is that the weather was like BBQing us to death and we had to ALSO walk our way to station there... for a boring few hours of waiting for the teams to pass by.

And wad do we do when they pass by? "This way, keep to the side of the road, drink more water, jia you and have fun!"

Luckily, i brought my physics homework to do there and i managed to clear a few chapters there =x. or else i wud have bored to death. I also brought harmoc to practice there but realised that i have only 1 bottle of water... and i m near finishing it when i reach the place im supposed to camp at... so i practiced abit only ><

O yea, on our way we saw a dead snake on the road (most probably rammed over by a truck, as trucks pass by that road very very frequently) and yea, i even took a picture of it! haha yucks right =x. and also i took a few pictures of the place we camped at, which will be displayed at the end of this post =x

After we received the msg to go back, we walked back along that long long road, but this time the sun wasnt out... it was the rain (Weather changes pretty fast erh?) at first it was a drop... then another drop.. then we saw infront the rain coming towards us... luckily benedict brought poncho and we shared it to cover our bags and walked our way to meet the others for the bikes.

The cycling part ah... was totally wonderful... Try cycling in bombardments of raindrops and a bag full of HOMEWORK... of cuz the homework gged... (managed to oven it to dryness again at home thou)

But yea, i must admit its a totally fun ride to cycle in such cooling weather while not being able to see the road clearly. There was once i dropped my (beloved) bottle and i immediately braked and turned, and the bike skidded like initial D stunts like that. Haha i was so impressed with myself =x Awhile before reaching the bicycle shop, the rain stopped and yea, i returned the bike and went to BK for lunch... just to realise they have NO STUDENT MEAL on sat.

Retreated back to the bike shop and joined kuan long and michele (our OGL for 08S08!) for lunch @ macs. On the way to macs, i saw the octave people having their nice sectionals outing! Hui Yong was learning to cycling. haha had a real short chat and yea went to buy the food.

When finishing our meal, the rest (literally the whole gang of pple that camped at East Coast area) came and we took bus back to NJ. (we were like drenched and abit not pleasant smelling on the bus, or at least i think i was ><)

From what i heard, there was some groups that pretty much lagged behind by alot and yea, the schedule was delayed abit i guess, that some that facils that was supposed to go to the botanic gardens went straight back to NJ.

Back at NJ, we settled down to wait for all the groups to arrive and complete their "abseiling" ("abseiling" because its done on a uneven rock wall? i tot its supposed to be done on flat vertical wall)

After all that waiting, the results came out and congrats to the group that won 1st and Norman's grp for winning 2nd! Haha everything ended pretty well but then there was a few arguments about the counting of timing... as i heard from my CJC friend that they got delayed alot of time while waiting for other groups to complete and they are pretty sure they completed the journey much faster than other groups if the waiting time was not counted. o well, i dun really know what happened but i guess they settled it themselves ><

OAC guys had a very fun Seniors VS Juniors soccer match! I heard that CHee Hao scored before i came and yea, when Terence joined the score restarted ><. then the sky was like turning dark and we all had difficulty spotting the ball lol. Blind soccer countinued until the seniors finally scored the golden goal to win the match 2-1 lol. Haha im so sry im noob in soccer and screwed up a few chances =x, but it was fun! haha

O ya, before playing the soccer i saw jaslin with ziyi doing something for their beloved terra house. Haha they are really enthu =). Went home with jaslin and xchanged our long day's happenings on the bus. Its really very nice to have someone travelling the same bus home with you so that u wun bore to death on it =)

ok here are a FEW (really few) pictures of my camping site.

The Hot Camping Site... U are supposed to be able to see the heat waves X_X

More Dark clouds with a plane (took when bored.) benedict with a truck behind... the trucks pass by often and yucks to the exhaust fumes **cough cough**>< My bag, GC, harmoc and homework AND my beloved bottle The DEAD Snake Muahaha ><

Haha so this is the end of my short post on ISAC... 1 downed at least and YES, my blog finally has pictures on it =x.

Currently im not doing pretty well in my studies... and i really think i cannot handle 2 ccas... so yea, i might be quitting oac soon... It has been fun knowing all of u all OAC friends, seniors are friendly and juniors and sort of funny... and yea, we can still be friends after i quitted OAC right? Haha hope so ><

With Sneezes...

My 17th bday! im 17 years, 1 day and 23 hrs 42mins years old when this is typed.

2008-07-05T22:58:00.006+08:00

Woo! Finally 17! 1 more year to legal watching of M18 movies! (joking xD)

Yea the next day i emoed on and off the bus (sry jaslin and rena!). that was a extremely intelligent tactic developed and adopted by the smart me, called "emo now later wun emo". cuz if i somehow emo during my bday celebration later then its like Omg la! haha indeed that tactic worked wonders =) (duh, i developed it leh.)

Yea so classes go on as per normal, O ya, i share the same bday as one of my ultra smart classmate (the imba yile u know? can read my previous post), ya he dam academically smart, im crappingly smart.Yay to all 4th july babies!Happy bday yile!Haha and indeed he got a VERY nice bday present of a very good result maths paper lor. A right? poor me bday present is a 57/100 maths paper leh =(. But as i said my tactic prevented me from emoing that day haha, so yea i din emo =p

O yea, so after long classes, i went to walk to gate with some classmates and then saw kung yin @ round tables, then mugged there for dunnoe how long. Saw zpin and followed her to oasis to find that pl is playing bleach with his PSP. talked about how smart he is then still dunnid mug also so smart, But He Sux in that game.

Haha then harmoc sectionals started then went canteen for my bday cake =). SPECIAL THNX TO KENG YI FOR BUYING SUCH A CHOCOLATY ENORMOUS BDAY CAKE FOR ME!
In the end after not finishing the cake we had quite a Major Cake Fight, in which jaslin was a major loser cuz her clothes tio the most cake >< (haha can wash de right?) haha it was really dam lame when we run around with cakes on our hand chasing each other, like pri sch kids sia ><

Sectionals resumed and we learnt a few song (rather quickly i think, we are so zai =D). After sectionals, we had a Major Water Fight. (whats more after cake, washing up?) Alvin started it off by using his nike bottle (or whoever's it was) to attack me lor. I retaliated with my own bottle and yea, result was Alot alot of bottles used, and no one who reminded in the canteen was spared. I REMEMBER VERY VIVIDLY, Alvin ah, say NO BACKSTABBING, then when we try attacking jaslin HE GO ATTACK ME! Direct shot leh! made the whole of my back wet la! Raaaawr!!!

Being wet like we just bathed (for some la, not all), everyone gave me their letters, presents etc etc. Outside of the sch side gate SOME very VERY, Unglam, Disgusting stupid idiotic moronic w/e u can think of thing happened, AND, obviously im not going to blog about it. =p, nvm shall use kim yong's clue.

Haha, so yea, we went to Macs @ KAP for "dinner" (unhealthy kids ><) in which @ mac World Fries War 1 occured. It started off with kim yong throwing fries @ alvin right? then fries flew around like missiles onto pple's head, pple's hair, pple's clothes, drinks & etc. Then the war developed into a more advanced one where fries have sauces on it flew around (omg right! so dirty ><) and you know who started it la. In the end alvin's drink suffered the most when all the sauces are mixed in it ><.

Then when war ended, we abandoned the high tables to a lower table. (i cleared up the mess made by the fries! im so responsible lor) Then some major SICK topics came out ><. crooked, Not Shot, Gigantic. u know what im talking about. Alvin actually showed the Even Worser Than Wee Siang side of him, in which he drew out Some things that he shldnt have.

With happiness

1st Post!

2008-07-01T23:11:00.003+08:00

Omg i cant believe im actually typing my 1st blog post! (was too lazy to blog last time =x)

I TOTALLY LOVE this blogskin, 50% cuz of the cute hamster, and 50% to the UBER nice catchaphrase (izzit spelt like this??) : ALL YOUR NUTS ARE BELONG TO US!! Hahaha u can actually catch a similar phrase nearly everywhere in nj, that is, if u are observant enough.

Well actually today is the official start of term 3's schooling. (previous week was totally common test which annihilated nearly the entire race of njcians, with exceptions of few imba kias as always) and YES, we had a new physics teacher, Mr Wong, which TRIED to engage the class only to find us not answering any of his question (well any teacher who taught us will have realised that problem long time ago ><) Well, my first impression of him is, he's pretty crappy! (the "wad do u do first in a SPA assessment" thingy) BUT not crappy enough (but no one laughed ><) O well cant blame him, i suppose we need to know him more to learn to enjoy his crap~ Today also stayed back for dunnoe wad reason... just wanted to stay back to see wad other coms for harmoc camp are doing perhaps, and played a few rounds of lamo mass "hai dai" with kim yong etc. and i joined the log com (fellow sai kang warriors!) for their meeting when they separated into the different coms. Well in the end we realised alot of decisions had to be made and things are to be done ONLY AFTER other coms have decided on other things and we ended up talking about food for the camp (NOBODY Wants 菜饭 Right?!)

Anyways GOOD NEWS for 08ians (announced by Mr Tan during GC) : Our monday timetable will be shifted to tuesday for dunnoe how many weeks! (WOOHOO monday ends at 12.30 FYI!) I cant imagine such lucky thing is to happen to us =DDD

not so good news : chem CT results back... got 41.5/100 =((( i guess i was lucky enough to get a S as i know i really dun deserve any higher marks than that. Congrats to imba kw and yile for getting a B! (omg really imba ><) Haha, have to work harder liaos O ya, working harder reminds me of wad I did during GC ><, Mr Tan ask us write in arnd 50 words how do u want to improve ur grades. i wrote Mug X 50. . . . Really wad! What else can you do other than to mug to improve ur grades! all those "i will play less game, do more revisions, listen more attentively in class etc." are subsets of mugging. So yea, Mug X 50 is the way to go for btr grades ^^. Nevertheless Mr Tan still made a big deal out of it and said want to see my parents during parent-teacher meeting session =o haha i think i shall end my blogging for today. Really wanted to slp @ 10 but fate decrees that i will have to get a urge to start a blog and write this not-so-long post until 11+pm =( . O WAIT WAIT! omg i want to blog about the Amazingly Fun, Life Endangering, Memorable + Eventful FIRST CHRO SENTOSA OUTING!
Ha I guess its abit too late now in the night for me to type out another long long post to it =(, so i shall blog about it when the pictures (KUNG YIN AND ALVIN!!) gets into my hands. Of cuz also must i have to mood la =x.

Smile Always,

-Roz
