grad dinner...

it was a great feeling, seeing MOST of your friends dressed up. only some genius called sean tan turned up in a polo t-shirt and jeans, looking like some young kid :p hung arnd in the lobby for a while, slack, tok cock. apparently sam saw me in the lobby, didn't remember catching even the slightest glimpse of her, maybe too skinny....hmmm..... anywayz smartalecs shaun wong and xin and some other ppl left the mandarin like 15 minutes before the supposed start of the dinner. xin turned up sweating like a pig as usual. brendan was the most colourful, with all his badges and chain hanging around, looking like some jiggilo (no offence brenz). wah so many people....lets do it the long way

shaun wong - striped shirt, with a ear ring on, looking like a chao ah beng
jin rong - poor guy just booked out of camp, had to wake up at 3.30 just to have a shower, sway sway must book back into camp in the morning at 7, gonna be a walking zombie, ok i suddenly forgot what he wore.......dang it
xin - blue short sleeve shirt, quite nice
guo cheng - dye red hair, spike spike, wear stripped polyester shirt (crazy idiot, hot like shit), also look like pai kiah
fuzz - wear tie the whole night, blue shirt nicely tucked in
bang - t-shirt inside, greenish shirt outside, not bad also lah
cheng & matthews - both wore less then they are comfortable with!!! and matthews was STILL WEARING PANTS!!! something is wrong with them, both think that wearing skirts is a dire sin. anywayz both still looked good, except for cheng's pontianak hairstyle :p

can't remember all lah, these is all that i can remember, anywayz kinda tired now, but will finish this entry first. altogether took abt 30 picx, couldn't even finish my roll of film, so sad, now gotta waste a few shots before can develop. managed to do one last lim zui hoh, but not really what i expected lah, bloody buggers rushing us to get back to our seats, couldn't even do a proper one!!! GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! *waves fists*

overall the food was good, worth my $55, got sharks fin, spring roll, sawteed prawns (Watever the hell tt means), fried noodles, steamed fish, and some other things, can't really remember also. lemme develop the roll of film then post on my web, got a pic of the menu there, please be patient. was a really memorable night, the next time this happens will be in 10 years time, and i expect many things to have changed by then!!!

this morning went PA with ben tay for CI course briefing. got a whole new set of uniform, peak cap now looks like shit, going to PA to change it later on this morning. high standards will be enforced, uniform is super high standard (only consolation is no more badges to keep pinning up), and i'm gonna be in for a hell of a time. thank goodness on renaissance night (6 dec), training ends at 1 pm. phew, now at least can go home for a rest. got a super duper thick CI training manual, nice zipper boots (sorry glenn :p), got my 2 drill cloths, wondering if i'll ever get my pips, like the way glenn and kah wee are suffering, looks like i'm gonna be in for a hell of 2 years, unless i get kicked out of CI course *thinks*

got music again!!! thx for tt ronald. 409 see u again in february next year, and in 10 years time after that. Cheers.

good feeling to be back...

my first official training today for.....3 months!!! the drill session today is more than all the drills sessions i've had with cadets since my NCOship :p sec 3s drills good!! i'm impressed. they picked up kiri and kanan pusing on the march faster than my squad :) good good. only some problems that need to be brushed up lah....but can be sorted out tomorrow, alot more drills to go...

aye my powerwebmusic is gone!!! WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! either they shut down, or there is some "technical difficulty". most probably the first option. anywayz long day ahead again tomorrow, campcraft and drills mainly.... hopefully can remember all my knots and lashing, shouldn't be too much of a problem...i hope. sec 3s beginning to prove me wrong, but not alot yet, will see how...Cheers

back at training...

morning wake up go school for PAE. chen ling kwang talks for like 15 minutes, and the briefing is over. what a waste of our time. then they gave out leaving certs, the PAE booklets and the SJI bears we ordered. Cheng changed her hairstyle, and now she looks like a real life walking pontianak. first of all because her hair is so straight, and 2ndly her face is quite white from all the makeup, and she is also naturally fair, so she looks like a ghost!!! we'll couldn't even recognise her at first!!! scary.........

after tt went campcraft training. lets see.... zero sense of urgency, do things can talk, slowly walk around....haiz......... lotsa work to be done with their skills as well. tent was not bad.... they'll managed to get their pegging done quite efficiently. flagpole was sad..... sad sad sad. but since po yew said tt they had done better the previous 2 tries, then i'll have to see their "better" efforts. but for a start, a tent in 10 mins is not bad, but 10 mins for flagpole is horrible!!! eventually gotta cut down to 2.5 minutes.

looks like it's back to training proper for me....Cheers.

most exercise in a long time....

just completed my mad exercise days, 3 hrs of badminton on thursday, and 3 hrs of basketball today. *pant pant* at first only a few people, then suddenly within 10 minutes everybody else came!! must be a common wake up time. anywayz at first just kept shooting. shoot shoot shoot. then when there was enough people, played half court. wahhh, it was damn fun, and relatively intense, managed to score quite a few points :) improvement from scoring nothing at all when i first started :p somehow i can score more at tanglin than at bang's house.... i wonder why...hmmmmmm.........

today also release of PSLE results. was thinking back to the time when i got my PSLE results.... was sitting with shangwei in the hall, then they said everyone qualified for secondary school, then the whole school hall erupted :p quite lame i know...but still it was funny. then one by one get results, slips were passed down the row. was quite sad when i got only 237, but now, i'm happy i didn't get higher :) coz if i had gotten 4 marks higher, i'd be in ACS (I), BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WAHAHAHAHA....

monday 9 am got PAE (this is a reminder to myself), then after tt ben and i go campcraft training. then at nite go out with neo and lee....somehow lee managed to "predict" his return and left his peak cap in HQ, watching over us ;)

oh well people Os are finally over (hard to believe), so enjoy yourself!!! Cheers.

NEWSFLASH!!!

read in today's paper that SJI will start IB programme in 2005, and will start accepting girls in 2010. that sucks....cannot change in class during PE and all that crap. now there will be josephians and josephettes!!!! WTF!?!?!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! damn lui!!!! it won't be SJI anymore with girls. WHY THE HELL IS HE DOING THIS!?!?! IZZIT BECAUSE WE ARE AN INDEPENDANT SCHOOL!?!?! AND WE HAVE TO FOLLOW FREAKING ACS (I) AND RI!?!?!!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! oh and the worst thing is...THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW SITE TO BUILD A BIGGER SCHOOL!!!! WTF IS GOING ON!?!?! TO HELL WITH LUI!!!!
now dunno whether will send my son there already. fuck lah wanna screw up SJI until like that!!! cheebye lui!!! damn board of governers!! must organise a strike!!!

haiz.... before this saddening news, played badminton for 3 hours straight. first played in school, then went tanglin to play. was playing with ian, xz, bren and brian. they'll took shifts playing with me. was playing all the way, only stop to drink some water. i feel damn good now..... except for that F-ed up SJI news!!!!

Will it be the end of the SJI that modern josephians know it to be? :(

History Elective...

well, it was ok, slightly better than SS, but i had that same switched off feeling when i did the SBQ.....that means trouble... anywayz, didn't touch China or Russia, and in the end Russia only came out for SBQ wahahahaha, that was a good gamble. then for essay did treaty of versailles....same thing came out for prelims, hopefully i remembered what miss matthews went through.

O LEVELS OVER!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..............

anywayz after tt went to watch matrix revolutions. IT'S DAMN FREAKING NICE!!! i dunno why people complain that the ending is too suttle. the fighting in Zion drowns out everything else man. i gotta get me one of those APCs, just like mechwarrior....damn cool man. it's one of the best battle scenes i've ever seen, better than pearl harbour!!

tomorrow going to school, observe training for a while, get back a feel of how the squads are doing, then after that 9 o'clock go tanglin play badminton. hmmmmmmm...... Cheers

A maths 2...

Good, great, wonderful, couldn't be better. :p the only way i don't get A1 now is if i'm super careless!!! but hopefully i'm not, coz i managed to check through 3 times, finishing the whole paper and one check through by 9.30. MUST GET A1!!!!

Tomorrow history elective, then FREE!!!!!! a bit worried about history, seems this year the humanities have been harder.....maybe it's just me, but cannot be, the geog boys all say die already, dunno lah. got renaissance and grad dinner tix today. grad dinner tix damn nice sia, good job huang!!

Here's the plans. wednesday watch matrix (long overdue), thursday play badminton at tanglin, friday play tennis at tze's house, saturday go cut hair and maybe buy a new phone. then on monday maybe play badminton again, details i dunno yet, so just wait.....

WAH!!!! in 27.5 hours i'll be FREE!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! dunno how i'm gonna study history later!!! oh well, it's just started to rain. oh speaking of rain, my dog Mel panicked this morning, so went digging in the garden (she's never done that before in her 11 year life) so anywayz now there's something that looks like what Zen will normally do, only Mel did it, so................blah blah. Cheers.

Chem....

chem was not as good as physics, but definitely better than prelims. i think should be able to get a B. i'll be happy with a B to be honest. MCQ was damn good, paper 2, no specific feeling lah. but paper 2 question 1 was super interesting.... can't say i've ever seen anything like it. it was a CROSSWORD PUZZLE!!! WTF!?!?!?! anyway it was an easy 5 marks, so why lose it? it was really creative, but really stupid at the same time...

after chem go KAP eat lunch, then go tze's house watch finding nemo in study lounge. at 4 went to play tennis (for the first time since primary 6). was fun....felt really tired, sweat like mad, managed to squeeze sweat out of my shirt. at first i played like shit, towards the end, slightly better lah. overall 6 balls flew out of the court i think. one flew onto the road, got rolled over by a bus, and went into the drain. :p i feel quite good after the tennis actually, the feeling of blood rushing through my veins again, after they all rushed to my brains for the past few days. a maths 2 and history left, a maths 2 should be ok, history.....hmmm......Cheers.

Physics...

not bad, better than prelims.....hoping that i can make my distinction target. alot of people were in a very good mood after paper 1, but the mood changed after paper 2. i felt quite satisfied. finished paper 1 in half an hour, spent the other half an hour checking and dozing off :p

alot of ppl said paper 2 was a challenge, i also dunno lah. maybe they found it a challenge because must explain alot, actually tt's good, if alot of ppl do paper 2 badly, then they might moderate :) now got 3 subs left, chem, a maths 2 and history..........sianzzzzzz.

Cheers.

a maths 1...

YAY!!! SO HAPPY!!! got a real good feeling about this...except paper one was the easier topics. means paper 2 got binomial theorem, straight line graph and P & C, damn it. at least relative velocity is out of the way. i actually did RV last, haha, saw the question and immediately skipped it. but it turned out to be quite easy :p

went bang's house in the afternoon. played basketball for a while, like half an hour to 45 mins. finding bball quite fun now, only i gotta get used to not double-bouncing..........damn it. anywayz was fun, sweat quite alot, trying to keep up with grace and jem, damn tiring man, they keep spinning!!! at least i managed to snatch the ball away from them a few times (thanks to my height and longER arms). thinking whether i should talk about tze's incident with wet soil....maybe in my next entry, after i "seek his approval" :p anyway tomorrow physics, the 4th subject that i'm aiming for a distinction in, (must beat tt bang!! and maybe ian if that's possible) hopefully my MCQ can get above 32 at least, then i'd be safer, but i wouldn't know until tomorrow, so good luck to all reading this.........Cheers

beginning of my CI life...

got me CI letter today from PA, with the words "On Government Service" on the front. I guess those 3 words replace the stamp :p anywayz looks like both me and ben have been accepted amongst a total of 169 (weird number). date for collection of stuff is 28 November, same day as grad dinner (crap....hopefully won't spoil my mood). report at 2, ends at 5, 2 hours before dinner....damn it. discussed with ben and he came up with this brilliant idea of me dumping evening wear at his house, then go PA, then go back to his house, dump uniform there, then change go dinner, then collect from him when his parents pick him up at night, then drag it back home, makes sense, except quite mafan, but since his house is nearer to PA than mine, it's the best plan :p

tomorrow A maths, quite confident, even though i failed prelims.....hope to get an A1. many ppl say it's a quantum leap, but i think it's do-able......watched T3 over lunch and dinner tonight, and said to myself that terminator is the prelude to the matrix....with robots vs. man and all that. oh well, still munching on my fruit, typing with one hand, quite tiring after a while...Cheers.

e maths paper 2....

good good, quite happy with it, but everybody else said that it was easy too, so i think they might raise the bar of A1, to like 80 marks maybe..... made one really really really super careless and dumb mistake, but i don't think it was worth alot of marks, like 2 or 3. next monday A maths.........damn it!!! must MUST do well......maybe can get A1, maybe not, but then all papers so far have been more difficult than the previous years, so i dunno how much harder A maths will be compared to last year. we shall all just pray and hope it goes well. Cheers...

english and SS..........

english first. compo was ok, though i feel that i could write some more. letter was ok, wrote about something like disabled olympiad. compre was straight forward, summary, also not much to choose from, just picked out everything i could. overall hopefully can get A1.....if i deprove from prelim, something is wrong with me lah!!!

SS.............all i can say is SHIT!!! essay was ok lah, sri lanka, just dunno whether what i wrote was correct or not (as if any other SS exam isn't the same)....then came SBQ, decontextualised. that part was ok, what i'm really pissed off about is how i was not thinking when i was writing. i'm quite sure i could have easily gotten more marks...........dang it!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!! left myself so much more to do for history now!! stalin, lenin, WWII, japs, kamikazes....beware!!!!

next up on thursday E Maths 2, another subject i'm aiming for A1......must get it must get it....Cheers!!!

e maths paper 1.....got a real good feeling about it. tomorrow is the day of trial for my right hand......must endure!!! 2 years of social studies all boils down to 1.5 hrs tomorrow......oh well good luck to me and you....Cheers!
