BB Reflection: Part 1

Just came back from GAC camp...it was a wonderful experience and i truly enjoyed every moment of the camp...even the bad moments :P

As Mr Sim had promised...GAC wasn't so torture orientated, in fact, i thought that the sec 2s got it tougher than us this round. I can't seem to remember the old days in sec 1 and sec 2...but everyone says that we got it really tough in LTC 1 and 2.

Maybe it's something abt me not remembering sec1 and sec2....those were the years when BB was not yet an important part of my life, besides fab and ding...i hardly had frens in bb or anything and i was always one of those GEPers who didn't associate with the mainstream...practically an outcast. I felt wad really changed BB for me was the introduction into the guild council, suddenly i started to know more ppl and i interacted more with them, the retreat was also an integral part of this. Sec 3 BB life has been memorable so far....i hope it'll be with me till the end

Camp Recount....some noteworthy events that were unforgettable:

1) Operation: TROMBONE. Johannes's brilliant plan. We wanted to trick jon pang and pull a great prank on him...for no apparent reason though. Jon Pang was asked to get the trombone from the storeroom for muster parade. So Wesley, Johannes and Benedict somehow get jon pang locked into the storeroom. Jon pang shouted from the storeroom and we heard it on the fifth lvl at 4.9 classroom....i still remember it so clearly....

"Haidi, haidi, let me out...this is not a joke!" in his usual fast and high pitched voice. YangJian describes this voice as breaking the speed limit or 60 words a second.

the plan was to just leave him there...but he escaped cunningly through the window. So wad followed was a series of change parades and great acting on Mr Sim's part that led to jon pang always falling in in the wrong attire and getting scolded for losing the trombone and stuff. Of course we were also involved in numerous change parades and pushups...so it was like an enjoyable change parade...lol

It ended with the switch between vesper and table grace that no one could resist laughing...not even mr sim...hahah. Post joke....jon pang said that he suspected something and he knew something was fishy...and that he wasn't that tricked...but that's just talk...if you had looked at the expression on his face...well...it speaks for itself.

2) Late nights...starting from advance party..i never slept before 1 am in the morning....latest sleep time was abt 4 am on the last night because of the guild council meeting where we used like 1 hr just to prepare cup noodles and laugh at jon pang.

3) Sleeping in tents on first night.....then thanks to mr sim's kindness we got the sleep in classrooms on the second and third nights...thank you ants!!

4) Catapult...we manage to fire like 10 metres with the repaired catapult. and mr jonathan ng was hilarious with his acting as a little kid...and calling us losers when we missed him..lol. He always gives these un-winnable bets like if we shot over the admin room we would get free drinks...well we couldn't do it...(though we wanted to do it illegally by cheating) but we got our drinks anyway thanks to the rogues.

5) Night Games a success...they actually asked for extra time...i manned POW for majority of time while watching mr sim in a light saber duel with Neo (light sabers made of light stix), Yang Jian taught me how to spin the stick and stuff. Later, we acted as storm troopers and fired light sticks (laser beams) at mr sim and fab to block with the sabers...unfortunately they were hit pretty bad....then i understood why in ROTS the jedi get owned so easily.

6) Worship...mr sim and i made a great team on the piano while we played impromtu with johannes, wesley and sloke on the guitars. That worship session was the most meaningful of all...i mean i felt that i had the chance to serve God even in BB. So now i expanded my service to my school and CCA...not only in church. Which leads to the choice i have to make of posts...i'm not sure whether now God wants me in as a CE NCO instead of Activities. I was always a bit shy to be the CE NCO but after that night i had some second thoughts.

7) As usual, mr sim has his usual arsenal of weird games.....using tables and stuff we had to transport ourselves from one location to another....ourselves meaning the whole cohort...40 plus of us...woah!! we did it in 25 minutes...great. Adriel dropped the extinguisher...and the CO2 filled the air like it was so cool man. I'm sure sean recognizes this...he saw us playing and trying extremely hard to balance on those items....we even used the CPU from the BB room as well as the trophies and stuff...

8) Pull ups...slowly improving...thanks for the support guys.

9) That 8 minute plus thing...the only time in the camp where GAC seemed to go back to the days on LTC. We stayed in pushup position on the horrible gravel ground for 8 minutes with butts up...no putting butts down....i dunno why we couldn't cooperate then...something was just not right with us....the cohort still has much more to improve on.

10) Patrick went in shock...the ambulance had to come to his rescue...thankfully God heard our prayers and nothing fatal happened...Patrick went home soon after. Another casualty was John Kao who got scratched by the rusty umbrella...and had to go for a tetanus jab..feel so guilty, after all it was the night games we planned that required them to use the umbrellas.

11) church sleeping session. After church we siesta for like half hr in the church...halfway i see eric downstairs playing the guitar and the whole BB cohort starts singing.

Can't remember everything...maybe i'll post nxt time again...but wad i would like to say is that i think BB can only get better and better for me....i'm so glad i've got to known ppl like Yang Jian, Ethan, John Kao and Johannes through this camp....and they've grown slowly to accept me as well...and i hope that in the times to come i'll form more frenships and BB will get even better!

mainstream or GEP, ip or not ip...we all can be the best cohort and the best frens ever....

"and i, i don't care what label you may wear, if you believe in Jesus, you belong to me and the bond we share..."

wad a meaningful theme song. :)

cya guys

Well gtg for GAC soon...will be gd bonding experience with sec3s...not sure why i'm looking forward to it....i mean most ppl detest camps coz they are torture filled and stuff...but i'm really looking forward to this camp, i mean all the activities seem exciting, and mr sim did hint that if we gave our best effort and showed that we could work together then there is no use for 24 hr torture...agreed. Advance party tomorrow after BQ. haiz

Well Mr Azmi got really mad today with me and fab...and the whole class actually. Me and fab were late for class, fab had the keys so the whole class was held back coz of us two, naturally mr azmi gets really mad and we get a big scolding. i felt the class and even fab didn't deserve the scolding lah...it wasn't their fault.

The true story that Mr Azmi ought to know was that me and fab were playing chess. Ms Suseela did tell us to be wary of the time...so we were playing chess we said yea ok...we won't be late. We wouldn't have been but we were halfway through a game and then i was telling fab like continue for a while more...and there was that usual repeated sinful phrase of 'one more minute' that seems to affect everyone. When we left, suddenly kaijun comes out and says like sir is super mad at us...so we get really scared and rush to class. Yea Mr Azmi was mad as ever. Poor justin came into the class at the wrong time and kevin escaped via Mr Alvin Tan.

Me and fab were really upset lah...so we started sobbing. I mean i wasn't upset coz i felt wronged...i was just upset coz of all teachers it had to be Mr Azmi that i made angry....you know i wouldn't really mind so much if it were the chinese teacher. But seeing mr azmi mad was really upseting, especially since he's upset at us. Later sir comes to console us...and say sorry for scolding us...actually it wasn't neccessary becoz we (or at least I) were/was in the wrong in the first place and not sir. I got ovr the situation fast but fab took some time...poor guy, more sensitive than me lah...but eventually he was back to normal as well :)

later sir sent a chicken pie up to me via fab from mr azmi as an apology (too much lah sir :P) anyway to all those real prefects out there....i ate the chicken pie in class!! HA! ok nvrmind. And sir got me a bkmark as well. Thanks alot sir....sry for being late for lesson, promise it won't happen again.

It's upseting that we will not see mr azmi again for more than a month...sigh...sir we'll miss ya for sure. I guess today's the last time we'll see each other again unless we have another fps meeting thing. Oh well...we'll always be with you sir...in spirit...and keep you in prayer or sth...that you won't suffer too much at army....wait...wad suffer? you're a medic right? shouldn't be too hard :)

We painted flags for GAC today...very tedious and sian...we used up all the painting supplies so i suppose we owe you one Mr Sim. Could we pay for the paint we used...or we'll feel a little guilty for all the paint we used up. The catapult was put to gd use and used as a cloth hanger..btw abt the catapult...the scouts aren't really thrilled abt it...in fact mr patrick soo asked fab, kester, ian and i abt eh catapult today and told us it took up half the field and was a big obstruction...lol

Oh yea...mr azmi said the bb admin room was really nice and neat and that the scouts ought to learn from it... :)

ok cya guys...i'm planning art club camp with sean now...we need more members!!

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

WAAAAAAhhh....my sk account got disabled for no apparent reason....yes i multied b4..yes i asked sean to log in for me b4...but that was 2 wks ago or more than that....and how in the world do we still have shared ips??!!! just so happens the scan comes along one fine day and catches us...wad happened? did sean secretly log in or sth? I'm really unhappy.

You know how life is always unfair...this is one of the times...of course it's just a game and i won't take it so seriously...but i still feel mad toward bcart for disabling my account for no reason...at least my sector's lamenting that i was a 'gd kd' lol....

Some tips to comforting an upset person:

1) DO NOT say anything that sounds like 'I told you so'....it doesn't make things any better...in fact it's quite hard on the person.
2) Try not to mention anything to do with the something that the person is unhappy with. If you mention it...it'll just make the guy even more upset.
3) Don't make the guy more upset by bringing up more of his flaws and mistakes
4) Don't ignore the person when he's complaining or anything..bear with him and give him some support and consolation.
5) Don't laugh.

Debate went well today...we managed to beat our opponents....they weren't really gd in the first place...i wondered for a moment how they got so far. The second speaker for opposition was gd...but the first guy was a bit disorganized and the last was lost and couldn't think of what to say at all. Naturally we bag the debate and now we wait and see whether we're in the finals...it's based on point system so that's not very fair as well...

I need to clear some things up...i didn't eat kenny's tempura chicken coz it was his and i thought it was unfair for me to do so...not coz i was anorexic. and i detested chocolate since i was like 7....so that's why i didn't eat those choc cookies...once again..NOT becoz i'm anorexic. In fact i'm trying to put on weight now...i've odne 2kg easily already..thanks to mr azmi's fish and co. dinner.

First chess game in ages...i lost the first to darren and kevin but reclaimed honor with the help of fab and won the rest of my games...even pwning sean twice in a row with the scholar's mate opening!! yay!!

SL at HPPS. My sad sad story of how i got there. I needed to get on bus 165 from bus 74. so i was taking 74, the bus stops at this busstop. As the bus leaves i see that 165 stops at that busstop. Naturally i think that the nxt busstop has 165 as well as there is no major junction or anything b4 the nxt busstop. So i wait. I get out on the nxt busstop and sit patiently. I realise afeter 10 minutes that nth's happening, check the busstop and see that 165 DOES NOT stop there...

So i take a long run back to the previous busstop and hop on the 165.

SL was cool...the kids were quite lovable...so obedient and 'guai' looking. We all met our buddies and ding made the most progress by accomplishing his first mission helping his buddy to find a lost item. I get a lil indian boy from 2C (creativity), apparently he was the most challenging to teach so when they mentioned him everyone picked me to tutor him..pfftt. We were matched pretty well..eric got a hyper guy, bong got a quiet guy...but ian didn't get the guy with the big ears like him....hmm...no one got a girl even though we were offered...i sure they didn't trust us with such heavy resposibilities...man wad do they think of us?

I was being extremely lame throughout the SL....sry to ian for being stupid. Anyway...fab also mentioned to me some doubts abt our teaching capabilities...and he wondered whether we would take it seriously...More faith in us Fab!!

Back from SL..walking down the path...me and fab see dog poo...i comment 'sweet potatoes'!!! Fab is disgusted for life. Don't wry i did lots of weirder things besides these.

Ok...that's all i guess...now i'll just tend to my real multi account that the multi scanner didn't catch...wow the multi scanner's doing a great job...good work bcart...i salute you!!! ( i was being sarcastic....but of course i lack sarcastic wit according to derek)

star wars madness continues. Suddenly i start to get all these star wars songs that sound really good...so ian gets me to send him as well...oh well. Band night band is playing a star wars medley as well...and yah btw i'll advertise for Derek since he so poor thing...buy tickets for 6 bucks from derek for band night!! from last yr's performance i say you won't regret it. Oh i'm helping him coz chong wee already kope like all the ppl to buy tickets from him...poor poor Derek

I score a goal in soccer today..at the expense of ian's...ahem....i think today's play was really good, me and fab teamed up pretty well. Some comments: Derek and kenny are really improving in their skills...esp. kenny. He can header and dribble much better now. And ian's turning into a formidable goalie despite his occasional slips...ok maybe not that occasional. But i got tackled by ian today...ian's getting better too!!! And derek did not score an own goal today.

Slack day in sch...even the teachers didn't want to teach...Mr chia can testify to that...lol

well cya...i feel like going to slack more

btw ian you wanna play bass guitar for my preaching point on 5 jun?

Mr Azmi's a great cook!!! Loved the food sir..would like to go again some time. Sir was stuffing us with so much food i decided against eating dinner later on. In fact i didn't really feel hungry the whole day after that sumptious meal. I think sir has a secret plan for me and ian to put on weight. Mr azmi's house...i was pwning ppl in slime soccer lol. And me and ian were acting anorexic.

Watched star wars episode III finally!! Some comments:

Here are some comments critics have given...i got some of these from sk:
The movie was illogical at many times..:

1) Mustafar is supposed to be in the outer rim...but padme and obiwan managed to get there like super fast for some odd reason.

2) Grevious was defeated too easily.

3) The clone troopers were too pwrful the way they thrashed all the jedi. Hey jedi are supposed to be much more pwrful than that. Think this way...there was a kid who managed to kill 4 troopers b4 dying, and then look at the jedi masters, they go down with just a few shots. pfftt.

4) There were scenes of spaceships landing every 10 minutes or so...ppl can get enuff of spaceships landing.

5) Fast forward episode 6. Leia says that she remembers her mother and that she was a nice person while luke remembers nth. Makes sense? no. Because in ROTS leia actually sees padme for wad...less than a second and luke actually sees her for a longer time.

But away with the critics...i felt it was an enjoyable movie and worth the 9.50 i paid coz it was a holiday. It was really saddening at times as ian mentioned. Like how anakin turns to the dark side just to save padme and then ends up killing her in the process of turning to the dark side. It was upsetting to see that anakin was just confused and in his goodwill he did the wrong thing. Darth Sidious was cruel to trick him....wad padme said was true...anakin did have some good in him in the end.

Was also very saddening to see obiwan having to kill his own partner. It's like having to kill your own fren to do the right thing. Those kind of dilemmas would hurt so much.

Episode 3 generally ends on a really sad note but there is a link to episode 4 as in luke and the sunrise at the end of the show...like 'a new hope'..well i can't deny it was a good prequel and it connected the trilogies really well.

Well there were some funny moments like when R2 (aka jian yang) used his incredible powers to burn up the droids. And the part where the droids capture R2 and then R2 zaps them and the droids go 'ow' and then slam R2 to the ground...lol. Or the part when yoda does his stance thing...that was hilarious. But on the overall..it was saddenning...ian wanted to cry...and ok...so did i...but i cheered him up throughout the movie :P.

Wookies rock...they saved yoda's skin. :) Chewbacca is gd.

Ok cya guys...for all peeps who haven't watched ROTS...go see it :)

Hmm...so we did campers 3. Fab, Kest and I gave a lesson on the lashing techniques and Yang Jian read the storyline in various accents that cracked us up. he should be a stand up comedian or sth...he's really quite pro lah.

So we built the catapult...high and mighty catapult it was. almost 1 storey high i think. The counterbalance was 6 tyres. It was extremely 'tyre-ring' trying to lash the tires and the spars together. The square lashing and sheer lashings were extremely tough and i got rope burn from the experience. However, with 'sheer' strength (hahaha), we put the catapult together.

Round 1: We pull the rope back....*crack* something's cracking...hmm wassit the bamboo? we pull more to find out...*pull*...the rotating spar bends dangerously....*pull more* CRACK!! ok the whole catapult arm breaks apart.

Round 2: though discouraged, we the hopes of a great chicken rice lunch in mind, we set out to redo the whole catapult arm, sheering the separate parts onto a new spar and hoping it worked. Ok...we get everything fixed...we were just abt to lash the firing arm onto the rotating arm when lightning struck...we all rush back and make one big detour to end up back into the safe haven of the admin room

Round 3: i wasn't there...but i heard the catapult fired abt 8m!! hurrah!! we beat the old record by a whole 3 metres...i think we were 1336. It was a great bonding experience for all the sec3s!!let's hope we have more of these during GAC.

Nothing much happened today though...i just went to visit my grandpa who's recovering from a stroke and i managed to get my comp's Norton anti virus updated after paying 59 bucks. Oh yes...i managed to cancel my tuition tomorrow with the excuse that i wanted to rest for one week!! yay...a gd vesak day tomorrow.

Church sermon was gd today...the pastor gave a good sermon in my opinion...and he cracked some jokes....like commenting on his running nose he said that his nose was training for the olympics...ok that was bad.

Ken wei's having a sleepover now i think...but i had tuition tomorrow so i said no...well wad a pity..do hope i could be there next time.

Watching ROTS tomorrow with family...finally...eric watched it twice already...bah.

well i little sth i found on sk...

"Top cringeworthy moments from the prequels.
TPM: Anakin: YIPPPPEEEE!!!
AOTC: Anakin: Believe me I just wish I could just wish away my feelings. (In fact that whole scene)
ROTS: Anakin (albeit as Darth) NOOOOOOO!!!anyone else spot a common denominator?"

cya guys. Happy vesak day tomorrow

BQ returns...and all the lame jokes along with it.

Nehemiah 6: Tolberone, *ahem*, and Sanballat guy decide to futher oppose the building of the walls of jerusalam, but as usual they fail terribly :) thanks to Nehemiah's faith and his wisdom. And no Tim...Ammonites don't come from Ammonia...dope

Esther 4-5: Lemme try to remember...oh yea! Mordecai and the extremely uncomfortable sackcloth (and boots). You know why sackcloth's so uncomfortable...? ok..see women are ok...but for guys it gets itchy down there...as in down there...if you don't understand me...you're probably not a guy. So as Mr Sim said: it's abt the worse thing you can ever wear, worse than Queen Amidala's wardrobe...lol. With boots somemore. (btw, Fab was gonna report in that attire for advance party lol.)

So Mordecai and his itchy body come along, Esther gets worried, and sends him some clothes to wear (not her own...duh), however, he refuses...The problem is jews are gonna get killed due to this guy called Haman. Esther decides to see the king. First, the ritual of the golden scepter, king uses the zapper sceptre as a trick (ok that was hilarious!!). Ok nvrmind. We also find out that Haman is so happy he may be not y=mx +c ...go figure :P

Oh with our brilliant mind tricks we managed to get ian to read a whole passage....lol. Also we trick yang jian by hiding but unfortunately the force is strong with him and he notices us immediately. Gosh...i really have to go watch the movie soon, preferably before GAC? Argh...too many spoilers ard....><

So we get some spars and rope lashing done....i can imagine fab playing war of the ring now while tying some ropes on spars...lol, hope they can manage this advance party thing. We're gonna make a huge catapult!! yay!! hopefully it fires beyond the previous record of 5m..:P. During the counterbalance i was a lil cheeky and i was thinking of using steven neoh as the counterbalance...lol...ok that was cruel. oops did i just blog that for mr sim to see?

We finally cut the curtains! so we went to ding's locker and we take the curtains and start to dress up like Darth Sidious b4 finally getting to serious work and cutting it. And i managed to postpone piano class haha...

today was ultimate slack day at sch...we played the pyramid game. Let's try a little recount of some major events.

Word: Anemometer
Justin: A sea animal
TedKin: Medusa?
J: urr the sea animal is the first part of the word
T: ...
J: urr it's an instrument
T: oboe?
J: NONONO...weather instrument, gosh did you read the topic??

Word: Cumulonimbus
Justin: The biggest biggest cloud, super big one
Tedkin: urr
Justin: pss...start with 'C'
T: Culumod;iajsij;jzxkjvkasd (ok i dunno wad he said, he just started making wild guesses)
Eric: Hey that was cl0se enuff

Word: Tsunami
Joash: 26 December
Elliot: HUH?
Joash: Wad happened on 26 December?
E: Christmas day???

Word: (Forgot)
Eliel trying to help the person guess...need i explain more?
Ian was forced to take ovr as there was little progress...

Ok nvrmind i found that Mrs Sandra Sim was a great teacher...pity i didn't take geog lah....nvrmind i don't regret triple science.

results today, i didn't do too bad, tien got annoyed coz he lost by 0.9 marks in total averagee. Ihs was funny for lots of ppl, minus marks for nth...I'm so scared..ian's out to get me!!!! but he got 38 for a math...upon 40!!! so pro...ahh he's outta get me.

oh well....ahh!! cya guys

Thursday, May 19, 2005

so we prepare for the debate. Round 2: the house would ban beauty pageants. Unfortunately this round we did not have inside info on the opposition. Last round we had justin and we managed to find their secret notes, but yea that's besides the point. so we use a whole load of time fretting and worrying ovr the debate. We wait outside 3.3, anxious for it to begin. Justin had a medical appointment at the skin clinic and was still on the way back to sch...oh no...wad if we were disqualified??

So we wait...ian starts complaining cause he doesn't wanna fill in for justin coz he has some fear of public speaking or sth. Then we notice sth, ppl ard us are sec1s. We think nth is wrong, ian asks me to asks the sec1s whether we were at the right place...but as usual men hate asking for directions so yea we wait there.

3 o clock...justin still not there...ian was getting worried when we noticed that it wasn't our turn for debate...in fact it was the sec1 debate. dope ours was nxt wk. Nevertheless we went down tot he SAC...we see ted kin and tell him that we've won and that we pwned the opposition in 2 minutes...funny enuff he believes us so yea...sean believed us as well.

A case of deja vu today. We play soccer, it rains real heavy so we leave the pitch. But this time the rain stopped and we didn't do the silly 'machine gun run all the way back to class' thing that we did on tuesday. Instead we try going out to play again and end up being used as slaves to lug ard stuff for the PE teachers...just great. Anyway, on the brighter side...i managed to do 2 pullups unassisted!!!

Mr Bill Chia starts to introduce us to chinese authors and he reads chronicles of narnia...lol! We find out the Mr Chia loves to read cynical stuff and that he buys lots of books really often...so envious..and so Mr Chia gave us a talk on orbitals and then a he comforts us abt our results. He asks who wanted to know whether they failed or passed. poor sean failed. I raised my hand to ask and promptly got bombarded by a flying duster.

lots of ppl from 3.10 went to watch star wars with mr azmi yesterday. boo hoo we got left out. I could go actually....sob. So mr azmi was like ' i sense much (insert feeling) in you (insert name)' today. Nvrmind i hope to watch on sunday as my church is in a cinema after all...so maybe i can hide away under the seats and hope not to get caught and then catch a free movie..hehe.

Cool star wars fact...lots of famous star wars quotes sound funny when you add the word 'pants' to them. A revelation from darren...just watch:
"Luke, i am your pants(father)"
"Begun, the pants(clone) war has"
"I am disturbed by your lack of pants"
OK nvrmind...that was just bad.
And mr azmi thought the movie was revenge of the sikh, so he expected ppl in turbans.

ok cya guys..gtg

Wednesday, May 18, 2005

well it was school hols today, one of those sch hols that we get for doing nth. Honestly, for us, we support the rugby team and everything, 50% of it is coz of sch honor and true passion for the sch, but the other 50% arises from the greed and hope of having a holiday when the team wins. What selfish beings are we...

So what would i do on a holiday, go out with frens, go watch star wars??? nope, instead i have a nice sleep till abt 10.30, then i proceed to practise piano and the rest of the day i stay at home and do work. typical tim right? Well i did wanna go to ian's place to play xbox but i didn't want to get outta the house and take a nice one hr plus bus trip to ian's place all the way in joo chiat. I do hope sean did not get lost on his way there without me.

Star wars? well in the end the plan fell apart, i had sudden notice that there wasn't the hpps meeting today for sl, so suddenly my day was totally free and it was a lil late to ask mr azmi or any of my frens whether they wanted to go watch a movie. Derek invited last night, but i was indecisive as usual so that fell apart as well. Now, i dunno when i'm gonna go watch star wars...anyone wanna plan sth? Apparently there might be a class outing for star wars as well, but i don't mind watching it twice or even more. So, as i was saying, anyone wanna plan a trip to the cinema somewhere nxt wk?

So i end up doing my langarts reading journal assignment, reading up on orbitals, and preparing for the beauty contest debate. Boring day... it was (ahh i wanna watch star wars...). Well, at least i got my work done, then can slack nxt time.

Oh well, i'd better be careful with wad i post on my blog....there are some things that just don't belong and shld be kept secret i guess. Wad a big mouth i can be sometimes, that's sth to work on i guess.

Test results in 2 days, anxiety.

lol, fab gets tired of the star war character thing...but i don't care...you're still an ewok. And mr sim has his own blog now, on his own server, cool...i mean that your officer from bb has his own blog and all...wait i'll link the blog soon. Speaking of BB, we've got to get those flags painted fab!!! and BB's starting again, can't wait ya? GAC coming up....fab and david helped Mr Sim to craft the theme. I'm taking XL for the t shirt size, i hope it's not too big for me, could i know the dimensions or sth plz...? oh well...i guess the bigger the better, can last a longer time.

well gd night guys. Sleep now...i must

Tuesday, May 17, 2005

Dinner with Mr Azmi today at Fish and co. and of course fish came along...together with me and ian. We had this great big big big seafood wok thing that was filled with mussels, prawns, fish and this great rice, the best thing i've ever eaten. Thanks sir for the treat, i really appreciated the time you took to come down and spend with us, would luv to pay back some of the money though...i mean ammounting up to 98 bucks....ow....

so mr azmi spends 98 bucks...then he drives out of the carpark, sees the carpark fee and says...'wow that's cheap'. ok....so we go into this lift and a crazy woman starts to laugh loudly and insanely, we think she's mad but realise that she's just speaking on her cellphone. So me and sir cannot contain our laughter and yea it was obvious that we were laughing at her...how rude of us...oops?

Mr azmi self depreciated today, but i decline to mention any further as i a return of kindness for the fish and co. dinner. Something to do with pushups though.

So we had soccer today, thanks to sir for the extra time coz it rained and we had to stop playing....started running in the rain and got the 'wet look' lol! i think i'm gonna catch a cold...sniff

Fabriz is an Ewok...yay! Ian got mad with me mentioning the Kamino alien thing again. ChongWee now says i'm padme...besides the point. Rawr Chewbacca!! And Derek thinks padme's hot coz of sth personal....just check out the actress's name, lol i hope derek doesn't read this blog....><

No star wars tomorrow i think...mr azmi wants to have a gd sleep so no in the morning. And i have some sl thing in the afternoon, so cannot...sigh. Anyway it's sneaks so may not be the whole thing...so i guess i'll be catching it some other day. Excited...yes.

hmmm...sry i've neglected this blog for 5 days....it must be a record...but i have many reasons for it...don't wry...:)

Halo 2...i'm quite bad at it....(ha! but i won't self depreciate)....wait i'm not bad...i'm just not as gd as the rest. Derek was really tricksy and said that he couldn't play halo and that he was a n00b...but he was pwning everyone. I was trying so hard to snipe...but i always kena sniped while sniping. Derek was quite hilarious....he said no screening and he screen.....no turreting then he turret....dope talk about irony. Well there was the outstanding trend...whichever team had me was the one that lost :) Well at least i didn't get last for the individual rd....sean did!!! wahaha.

Ghost is cheap...splattering is cheap..i decline to answer. BAnshee is pure ownage...wait only wif me that is!

BB retreat at Mr Sim's place. watched star wars 1, 2, National Treasure and by fab's request.....the incredibles...in an Azmazing movie marathon. John Tay was really tricksy...so pro in badminton and basketball but he act lousy only.

In all Star Wars Craze for the upcoming movie:
JianYang = R2D2
Derek = Jar Jar Binks (the shared 'spultz gene')
Ian = Kamino Alien (wahaha...even though he'd loved to be padme)
Daryl = Luke Skywalker (coz he thinks he's hot...?)
Me = Chewbacca for some odd reason...a rebut from ian (and Chongwee misheard it as Rebecca..lolz can't imagine that. :P )

Revenge of the Sith set to come out...shld i post some spoilers...lol...Post obvious spoilers i will...ha!! i will ruin the movie for all of you..here come the spoilers...the temptation is overwhelming....you cannot resist the force...LOOK!!

1) Anakin is Darth Vader....like a duh!! wahahah i got you there....ok...
2) According to mr azmi...anakin kills padme coz her name's to hard to pronounce...dope. wad a pity...padme's hot (according to derek...:P)
3) Palpatine = Sith Lord (bet ya didn't know that...ok who am i kidding?)
4) C3PO becomes Golden!! yay!
5) Jian Yang's still in the show!! yay!!

Now a quiz for you...wad's Darth Vader's famous phrase to his son...complete...

"Luke, i am _____

a) your mother
b) your father
c) gay!! (ok haha)

(btw...for the ppl out there who are clueless...it's b)

wanna go watch star wars with mr azmi??? let's go arrange sth ya? oh speaking of mr azmi..we're gonna get Ms Patricia Thong as our relief math teacher i think...wish us well.

Class outing....bowling has the popular vote...looks like i'm gonna roll longkangs again!

Tien topped chem...lol...i'm aiming for 80 percent now...i think i disappointed Mr Chia...sry sir, i'll try better and be less careless nxt time! well i feel better now...but i wish i could at least top one subject for the test to feel a sense of...achievement?

Worship with sec3s today...quite gd though we went in unrehearsed...hmmm? and btw..there's a worship session coming up soon i think...how many of you guys interested? then i'll tell my dad and we can plan again

more exam stress...more things that happen under stress...

10) i continue to rip ian off....but NO...i'm doing from 10 to 1...not 1 to 10.
9) Mass self-deprecation, ian starts to say he's lousy when mr azmi's not ard...and ding(i mean philip) earned himself 40 pushups ar lunch today.
8) Mr Azmi starts thinking that peach drink is pee
7) More chair balancing antics from the whole class this time, kenny takes a broom and balances it on his nose. The whole class goes wacky playing that useless CG game where you try to knock each other off balance.
6) A math paper was bad...lots of sneaky tricks from mr azmi...i can just hear him laughing at all our mistakes now.
5) Mr Azmi starts getting weird dreams. Derek dances tango with chongwee and ian goes ballet.....oh no...i'm soon gonna be a victim of his imagination too!!!
4) Peek A boo games with Mr Azmi..:)
3) Fab's bdae tomorrow!!! and eric too!!! ok out of point...
2) Chem paper from last yr looks really tough...i think i might do badly for chem tomorrow...and i say MIGHT....HAH!! sir i didn't self depreciate!!
1) During lunch...mr azmi, lejon, jin, phil and me start making super lame jokes......like:
'Hi Ding!!! are you hiding???'
OR
Lejon: Tim you are darn lame (with your jokes)
Mr Azmi: Tim is not lame...i've seen him walk b4
OH the irony....
0) more lameness...i unintentionally make a lame word pun in class during physics self study...but i've forgotten wad i said...anyone can refresh me?

ok i conclude we are all going mad!

Sry for my general neglect of this blog...it's too much exam stress.....it's getting into my head...

Funny things happen during the test week....here are just a few:

1) Eliel has a terrible stomachache and visits the restroom at least 4 times
2) i keep dropping that stupid yellow paper for the zuo wen test....and eliel steps on it and crushes it...
3) According to sean, ian goes kia kia kia coz he's a skeleton...and he lives in the closet!!
4) a malay who is gd at math is a 'Matt'thematician!!! dope....and a malay who is a genius is non-existent. Upon saying this, mr azmi was accused for self-depprecation but to no avail. He rebutted by saying he was not a genius but was very clever...:P
5) Mr Jason Chan can balance so well and he has that clown look, maybe he can work in a circus part time or sth.
6) i esp enjoy trying to stack my stationery up into a tall tall tower when i'm bored
7) XSH conned us and gave us false information, so we studied the wrong cheng yu, and there wasn't even chang wen suo duan...-_-
8) Chong wee starts eating in class as there were no real prefects present
9) Jonno whispers drill commands...and it's derek's turn tomorrow
10) i start to rip off ian's number stuff again...(sry i'm short of time ian!!! hehe)

ok cya guys

well i felt like posting more today....:) soccer relflections

btw played soccer today...saw the most azmazing goalkeeping from derek, he made everyone splutz in a exciting face off today in front of the goalposts...picture this. someone (forgot who) blasts a pwrful shot at derek, and derek saves it....but it bounces off him into the danger area again...jlow comes in for the kill...WHAM...right into derek again, and derek whacks the ball sky high outta the area!!! yay!!! jlow was interviewed after the event and he claimed that for some odd reason, he felt that he couldn't shoot properly in front of derek, talk but splutz aura. Derek's set to become the Most Valuable Player!!!

I've never seen kevin play so aggressively b4, he tackled me so bad i have a knee injury and a butt abrasion now, i'm serious, it hurts so bad i can't sit properly. And kenny's improving every game, great header today!!! Justin whines when he gets smashed by ppl by accident....dope and fabriz was quite upset with how unsporty everyone was. Ding was darn pro as usual. :P

I'm picking up Jap...how? through derek and the net....trying to learn some simple sentence structure and verbs....verb conjugation kills!!.. watashi wa tim desu!!!! yay!!! and i learnt that 'neko' means cat for some weird reason. cheer me on.

Gonna sleep early tonight, apparently derek's sleeping after dinner and waking up at 4 am, gd luck to that strategy. :P
Owe Mr Azmi Pushups Again!!!!! yay...i must be on a roll or sth. so now i owe him another 40 pushups for my blog posts....hmmm i shldn't have made my blog known to him...hmph...let's see if he spots this....;)

I am so so so so so so so so so very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very lousy :)...how many pushups do i owe now :)...he can't be too serious abt it right?

Speaking of Mr Azmi, apparently he was sick today so he didn't come and ppl like kevin missed their consultation with him...how sad, well at least we got a free period where we were supposed to revise work for the tests but we didn't. No wait i did, i did some cheng yu for chinese...but that's besides the point. Exams coming real soon >< brace urselfs...tomorrow is langarts, so i'm gonna sleep early tonight.

Sean you failed an attack on sk!!! argh my growth is stunted.

Just came back from piano...was a darn scary experience. I was walking out when the lightning struck like so near to me the thunder was immediate....not that that was scary...it was worse coz i was in the open area...tell ya wad i did, i ran quickly to a HDB block and waited there for 1/2 hour for the lightning to go away. After today, i have developed a phobia of lightning, it was so darn near it was gonna strike me ><

so ima gonna study now after wasting half an hour at that stupid stone chair in the HDB flat...

Yesterday...oh well i messed up 2 hymns...but of course i only practised them on the morning itself...i mean it was quite gd for no practise ..i think i'm getting better at this...by the grace of God of course

My dad's in thailand for some educational and community service trip, i'm gonna miss him, sigh he's probably having a great time there now....well one thing that's gd abt this is that i get to eat junk food when he's not ard...lol.

Went down to Borders' yesterday, supposed to spend my $15 borders' voucher from who knows where...apparently it was some competition i won. Well i couldn't find anything gd...i mean i'm that bad...i don't even have an interest...maybe card tricks but i didn't want to buy another bk on that...i don't know wad else i like. Man i'm boring. But i do enjoy self-improvement, as in learning new skills and picking up new abilities...like i'm trying to learn jap now...i think if i were offered the choice again...i would have tried to take a thrid language...

Hey well today i went out with my tuition teacher...cool eh? we went to eat roti prata!! and my tuition was extremely short today as a result. i wish it would happen more often...:P

Grade 8 piano, i'm starting on the pieces liao...apparently i'm quite bored with my grade 7 pieces liao...hey cheer me on guys!!! Esp my side reading...horrid...

I realised i'm darn stupid...i thought 'pesante' means pleasant....(who wouldn't) but it actually means 'heavily'...wtc...total opposites...

Exams...yay (ok that was bad)

bye
