PAUL - The Musical

2008-11-18T00:06:00.003+08:00

James, John, Timothy, Dawn & I auditioned for Paul, the Musical yesterday.
My first auditions! Haha.
We had to sing 2 songs, do facial expressions (Happy, Sad & Angry) and do excerpt of the skit.
Kk. I got to go and sleep now. B's asking me to sleep(:

Results! =/

2008-09-16T11:08:00.006+08:00

My results are out!
Didn't meet my target of 3.8 ):
Well I guess it's the stupid standard normal distribution curve (bell curve).
3 modules with good results and 4 without..

The CAC Family

2008-08-12T11:07:00.006+08:00

Went back today to AES, to join CAC for Founder's Day Mass preparation.
The Feast of our Lady of Assumption! :D
My mission is here, and it has not ended when I graduated.
Once a Catholic Activities Councillor, always a Catholic Activities Councillor!
Looking at them really brings me much joy.
We started with 7 members in 2005 and now the full strength of CAC is 68!
That's almost 10 times! You have no idea how happy I am to see this number.
What's a Catholic school (especially one named after our Lady!) without a Catholic Mission Group?

AES Catholic Activities Council
One Goal, One Passion-God!

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008

2008-08-11T22:51:00.006+08:00

Oops. Haha. Sorry everyone, it's been so long since I last blogged.
2 more days to exams! I need to start studying. ):
AND EXERCISING! Oh man. Seriously, big time, I need to exercise.
Which is why I joined the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008!
So exciting! Haha! I can't wait for 7 Dec 08!
We're going as "Team Kanektas".
Antonia, Kevin Simon, Kevin Cogtas, Sherry, my brother Timothy and me!

Ok. This is really embarrassing but here are my results for last year's marathon.

Anyways, check out this video, it's so cool.
Aloysius (LFCC iLuminate) forwarded it to me.

And here are some cool & inspirational pictures.

2008-07-24T00:59:00.004+08:00

Wow! I haven't been blogging for very very very long!
Haha. My apologies. I've been rather busy lately.
I have 12 projects and 10 tests in total!
Now, I'm left with 4 projects and 2 tests!
20 more days till Exams!! :O

John Pecson sent me this picture.
When Pope John Paul II was shot, one of the security guards snapped a shot, and this was developed from the photo. Experts have concluded that there was no tampering with the picture.

Oo! Oo! Oo! Guess what?
We started our Catholic Ex-Assumptionite Ministry!
Jeremy Tham, Leroy, Mark, Melvin & Me! and the list extends every week.
Well, it's not a ministry yet. But still.. we started! Haha.
We've had 2 prayer meetings so far. We'll pray for ex-students who have gone astray from God's love and current students facing difficulties.
And each time, the number of attendants increases! Praise God!
Each prayer meet has been a wonderful experience, though a little struggle with 'him'.
But if God is on our side, who can be against us?
Oh! And for those who want to join us.
Every Saturday, at 2pm at St. Joseph's Church.

Apart from weekly prayers, we have been going back to help the AES Catholic Activities Council.
Finally! It's not easy doing this alone!
Thank God for the reinforcements he sent me!
We've started Intercessory and Praise & Worship with them.
Going to move on to Cell group and maybe Sessions?

Tham is also looking into forming our own band!
How cool is that?! We'll be composing our own Praise & Worship songs even!
I too am going to start a Classical Singing Quartet! Clarice, James, Timothy Loh & Me! Going to different churches to do carolling and to spread the christmas joy.
How cool can it get?

All these are just so.. AWESOME!
Praise God!

Our Lady of Assumption, pray for us! :D

Just to leave you guys off with some pics taken today in Assumption.

2 weeks break! or is it?

2008-06-16T00:48:00.007+08:00

Sorry everyone! I've been away for 2 weeks.
Taking a break from school. Been so busy lately.

2jun08
Went for Choir Camp. First time Choir had a camp.
It was a combined camp. Choir, NCC, Softball & Basketball.
It was fun, enjoyable too. Jansen & Brandon were there too.
At night, we went to the Southern Ridges, near HarbourFront, for night walk.
It was amazing! And tiring. Clarice, Leonie & I just sang whatever songs came to our heads!
http://www.nparks.gov.sg/southernridges.html

3jun08
Went Dragon Boating with the combined camp. I so miss dragon boating!
We had lots of fun. But I couldn't stay on. I had to rush to school.
Went with my wet "hot pants". Haha. My classmates kept on laughing at my "sexy legs".
Bathed in school, went to airport and then.. Flew off!

4-10jun08
Went to Australia. Nice place. Nice people.
Went to Gold Coast & Melbourne.
Gold Coast was fun! Went for a farm tour, Movie World & Sea World!
Gold Coast was more advanced that compared to Singapore I must say, the infrastructure, public transport and all were better.
And the temperature wasn't very cold. It was just air-con cold.
Oh! And I met Mr. Hong at a Restaurant there! What are the odds!

Melbourne was colder than Gold Coast. Maybe fridge chiller cold?
We went to Chinatown most of the time, seeing that it is the only place with shops open at night.
We went to Phillip Island too to see the Penguins return to their burrows. Cute little creatures they are.
We also went to the Victoria Market. And guess who we met? We met Mr. Michael! Apparently he, Mr Ong SK, Mr Ahmad & Mdm Magarita were in the same hotel as us!
We also went to Mount Buller. Unfortunately, it didn't snow. So we spent $1325 just for s trip up there to drink hot chocolate and down. But it was freaking cold la! Super super cold!
Oh! And guess what! The first day we checked into "Hotel Sophia", we triggered the Ffire Alarm! Haha. Kennedy & Nicholas were boiling water when the electric kettle did not stop and continued boiling till it overflowed and then the fire alarm went off. 3 fire trucks came down in like 5mins? How awesome is that!

Nice trip. Really enjoyed myself. (:

11-15jun08
Confirmation Camp is here! The camp was AWESOME!
The service team, confirmants, parents, sessionists & everone were AWESOME!
Why? Because of our Awesome God who has made the camp so awesome.
I felt the same as I did 2 years back in my own Con Camp. The feeling is so indescribable! So nice too see more and more lives transformed into apostles of Jesus! It has truly been a wonderful time coordinating this camp!
Camp just went by so fast! Leroy and I were sharing about how we missed the camp, and so hoping that it would last forever and that Kanektas could be a full-time job!

Today was Confirmation Mass. My little babies are grown up now. Haha.
I do pray retainment rate is super high, 99%? YES!
After Mass, went to celebrate with my family, for Timothy's Confirmation.
So nice to have my brother in the renewal.
After lunch, went to Cannossian Sisters' Convent to meet Sr. Chris, Charles & the Ex-Co to discuss some matters. What a fruitful meeting!
After that I went to Watch "Kung Fu Panda" with my family, uncle & cousin at Kallang Leisure Park. Not a bad show. Kind of cute and funny.
And now here am I! Finally free time..

CAC Investiture '08

2008-05-24T18:29:00.004+08:00

Happy 3rd Birthday CAC!
Like a seed that has fallen in good soil, this seed has grown into a tree.
Now it must withstand the external forces that may bring it down.
But I'm sure they will survive and grow to greater heights!

Yesterday we had partay! Oh man. My whole body is aching. Haha.
Well at least Jeremy Tham, Brendan Loo, Jerome, Kristofer & Stefanie were there.
All the ex-assumptionites of my age. We had dance, games & food! But just not enough water. Haha.

Anyways, congratulations to the 9 new core team members.
May God be with you always guiding you (:

AES Investiture '08

2008-05-24T17:33:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, CAC & Choir combined to sing the monfort song during Investiture.
I was so looking forward to this.
God planned all this, amongst my busy schedule, I was still made it for this event.
It was NYP SBM Graduation Day! What are the chances!
Anyways, the 2 CCA I love have combined! Finally!
So we sang, though not up to choir standard. But pretty good though, i must say.
And I was conductor for the 2nd time! Being a conductor is easy.
No stage fright. Because the audience is looking at your butt!
But I rather sing though.
Anyways, Fr. Bernard Teo was there! My uncle! An ex-assumptionite!

Britain's got talent

2008-05-15T22:32:00.002+08:00

Haha. Check this out.
My dad showed me this.

The winner of "Britain's Got Talent" is an Opera singer!
Paul Potts the name, a mobile phone salesman.
Wohoo! Haha. Go Opera!

AES Speech Day '08

2008-04-26T00:14:00.010+08:00

(Click to enlarge)

Woah! Today has been a wonderful day for me!
I'm just so happy!
Went back to Assumption today to join the choir. To conduct!
Something new! So exciting. Not easy though. But it went well.

The song i conducted.
Thanks go to Hadi for filming it. (:
"Fire"

"E Oru O"

I just love classical singing!
I so want to start my own classical singing choir in church.
I'm already looking for people. Timothy Loh, Clarice & James! Haha.
Praying hard they'd join, if I ever do start one.

I've got 2 dreams:
- To start a classical singing choir
- To start a family

Haha. I'm currently working on both OK!

Haha. Anyways, the feedback for today's performance were all so good!
I don't think the choir had so much good comments before.

Before the performance, we were in the music room waiting, then we started singing all sorts of songs. Start singing high notes and all. Azmi got our disease too! Haha.
I don't like James la. He can do the whistling register. Haha.

Jobless..

2008-04-18T23:44:00.003+08:00

Oh man. It's been a week!
What a jobless week.
I am so going to pick up inline skating when I'm free! So fun! Haha.
Anyone has blades? Big ones? Size 11? Better if flat footers.
It's so boring at home! I watched 'I am Legend' 2 days back.
I emphatise with Will Smith. The lonliness he went through.
I too am going through it! At home! Haha.
Anyways, I'm conducting the AES choir at Speech Day next friday! So exciting! Haha.

Went back today for practice, when I enter the school.
Students greeted me with "Hi Mr. Teo!"
Then this feeling was in me. I don't know how to discribe it.
I relief teached for 2 terms. One last September & October. The other, March & April, this year.
Last year, no one called me, "Mr. Teo".
This year, almost everyone calls me, "Mr. Teo".
An accomplishment? Haha. I don't know.
The school should be happy, since they are so particular about this.
I personally don't mind if students call me "Hilary".
In fact, I prefer it this way. But School does have it rules. Just abide by it.

Oh well. It's all in the past now.
Relief teacher no more! More freedom!
And I don't mind not getting paid. I'll still go back to help.
It has never been about the money anyways.
If they paid me $30 a day, I'd still take the job. Service needs no reason.
And now I have more time for Confirmation Camp.

Haha! I'm addicted to the song "Desde el Dia Que Te Fuiste".
"Without You", in English. But of course, English songs are harder to sing.
No I can't forget this feeling.
Or the look on your face as you were leaving.
But I guess that's just the way the story goes.
You always smile but in your eyes,
your sorrow shows. Yes it shows.
I can't live. If living is without you.
I can't live. I can't give anymore.

And one last thing.
I SO WANT A VIBRATO!
Haha. And sing like David, Urs & Carlos.
Not really Sebastian la. He's a pop singer.

Temporary Skin

2008-04-16T08:37:00.005+08:00

Screw up #1
Sorry everyone, something went wrong with my old skin.
The words went black, along with the black background.
So nothing was visible. Hence I'm using this skin meanwhile.
That is till I get my new skin done. Hopefully.

Screw up #2
Oh man. School reopens in 2 weeks.
My Adobe Master Collection is not working.
I can't do my new skin, I can't open pdf files, do my flash animations, edit my music & blah blah blah..

Screw up #3
My camera went diving into a pail of water.
4 days old & $650. Gone! Like that.
Anyways, it is now repaired. Free!

Screw up #4
I was supposed to run for AES Sports Day staff event.
Was so looking forward to it.
I never ran for Sports Day before.
And it was cancelled.

Screw up #5
Last Thursday, the last classed I reliefed had a class test.
So I invigilated and once a again, screwed up.
Funny thing was, I was around, why get a student to collect all & pass to me?
I could do it myself, can't I?
Anyways, guess she it was just to help me.
A dismissal, the whole class gushed out the classroom.
And so did I, I had to rush down to URA Center for 'Additional Elective Modules'.
30 mins to get to Chinatown. Of course, I rushed!
With no paper in my hand, I forgotten there was a test paper.
The only thing in my mind was, "How do I get to Chinatown?"
And so it was, a test paper not collected.
Turns out the students left it on the shelf outside the staff room.
Still, it does not rule out the possibility that cheating took place.
Having said all these, it was still my mistake and my responsibility for any outcomes.

Screw up #6
I'm a town illiterate.
If there ever should be 2 things that you should minimise talking to me about, it'd be Chinese & Town.
I took 2 buses to Chinatown, got lost, asked for directions & ran 3 bus stops.
Still I was late. 1hour 15mins late!
Was just in time for the debrief.
I travelled so much and did not collect a test paper, just for a debrief?!

Screw up #7
And failing to collect the test paper, had me jobless.
The job I loved. Oh man..

Screw up #8
I was supposed to relief a teacher.
To teach maths & accounts.
I love maths & accounts!
Finally a chance to teach accounts! Gone! ):

): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ): ):

It is in times like this, that I cling on to God and ask, "WHY?!"
Maybe my Adobe couldn't work, so that I'd have more time with Confirmation Camp & CAC stuffs?
Maybe my camera spoiling was to allow me to treasure it even more?
Well, I have no idea why he had to allow sports day to be cancelled.
And the test papers, AEM at URA center and me being jobless now, was to let me focus on my other tasks at hand?
Choir is performing next week for speech day.
CAC is going to have soon, CAC Investiture, CAC Camp and CAC Beach Party.
Kanektas is having confirmation camp soon. And I am coordinating it some more.
My family. Have I given them what I can afford to?

My life's in a mess now.
But I know, everything happens for a reason.
Yesterday, in the adoration room.
I got the word, "CHERISH".
And so, I shall cherish every moment and moments to come!

(: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (:

2008-03-05T09:39:00.002+08:00

Hey everyone! I'm back!
Haha. Sorry, my laptop crashed 3 weeks back.
My whole life went along with it too.
But guess it's a blessing in disguise.
If it didn't. I wouldn't have had studied for Statistics & Management with Philip.
Thanks Philip! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't haave studied too!
Results are coming out! So excited! Haha.
But I'm dreading Management results..
It's the 2nd week of my 7 weeks holidays!
Haven't been to work yet.
Missed the call this morning!
Argh! How angry I am with myself.
Oh well, there'd be more chances.
Oh man! I'm just so happy!
Haha. I just fixed my laptop last night.
The reason why I missed the call. Haha. I slept through it.
My life force has returned! Haha.
No la. I got my life already. 2000 years ago, on that cross.

2008-02-02T14:16:00.000+08:00

This is our Microeconomics project.
3 Determinants of Demand & Supply, in the Mobile Telecommunciations Market.
Enjoy!

2008-02-02T11:05:00.000+08:00

A few weeks back, my family was at my house downstairs, waiting for my dad to come pick us up for dinner.
Then there was this crying sound from upstairs.
It was a young boy, getting a spanking I guess.
But what distressed me the most was what the boy said.
It was quite loud and audible.
He was wailing and wailing away.
Everytime he gets beaten, the volume goes up.

He said this,
"I already said sorry! Why don't your forgive me?"

This sentence tore me up inside.
He reapted it many many times, each time, being interupted with a louder cry caused by the beating he gets.
He's just a small boyfor crying out loud.
He already apologised, what mroe do you want?
He even asked for your forgiveness.
Are you trying to teach your son that there's no need for 'Sorry' whenever you do wrong?
When he grows up, he's going to feel that 'Sorry' is useless.
And you think violence helps?
It's only going to be implanted in his head forever and he won't know it.
All these experienes he gets when's he's young stays in his head forever.
And when he grows older, he will be violent too.
A child asorbs everything when's he's young, whether he knows it or not.

A few days back I received an e-mail from a friend of mine.
It was about this boy who was caught stealing.
And his punishment?
To get his hand rolled over by a truck!
In the mail, were pictures.
Sorry, I don't have the pictures, deleted the mail already.
The pictures showed the boy on the floor, with his arm on the floor in front of the truck's tyre.
But what's sadder is that the boy did not cry and was willing to accept his punishment.
What is this inhumanely act?
What ever happened to forgiveness?

2008-02-02T11:02:00.000+08:00

Oops. Haha. Sorry for not posting any entries for so long.
My end of semester is nearing. Have lots of ICAs (Class Testss & Projects) to do.
And exams are in 2 weeks! There goes my CNY next week.
Hmm. Oh well. Thinking of revamping my whole blog skin.
I create one for my project in school, for my personal website project.
Maybe I'm using that one. Haven't decided yet.
Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year everyone.

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T18:46:00.000+08:00

2008..
Feeling so ....
Dots..
This year it didn't really mean much to me.
Nothing felt special to me about New Year this year.
Not like Christmas, where the joy and anticipation reached climax.
Well. New year, new start. Make the best out of it! (:
Hope to attain my goals. :D

Haha. This is cute.

2007-12-28T14:06:00.000+08:00

2007-12-25T23:45:00.000+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D

I love christmas!
It's so exciting. And the best part?
it is because of today that we are saved.
Christ the saviour is born! Alleluia!
Just feel so happy. Whee! Haha.

I'm super shagged right now.
Went for midnight mass yesterday, then to Charles' place for party after mass.
We had a whole night of laughter and some napping.
Haha. Then Jem fetched some of us home.
Theresa, Marcel, Ronney & I walked to CCK interchange.
And we were all suspecting each another to be drunk! Haha.
Marcel wasn't even walking straight and he talked funny.
Yea, then reached home at 8.30. Updated Kanektas' Blog.
Slept at 10.30 for 2 hours. Then went over to my grandparent's house for christmas.
And now here am I back from my grandparents' place.
All tired & ready to sleep.
Tomorrow's Kanektas' Christmas Party. Oh so exciting!

My holidays are drawing to an end. And I'm way behind my school work.. =/

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2007

2007-12-03T17:05:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2007.
My first marathon. My first race (run), in fact. And my first medal!
Started the day early, very very early.
Took the first train down, was shocked to this so many people participating too, as I watch people of all kinds wearing the same singlet, boarding the train.
My mum went along with me, I felt so edified. First time. Haha.

The race started of in front of the Fullerton Hotel.
There were so many people squeezing on the 3 lanes of road at the start point.
The rows od people could easily reach half a km, despite the 3 lane width.
When it started, we had to wait about a minute or so, before we can start running.
And when they asked everyone to smile to the camera, everyone started jumping like as if it they were having praise & worship.

I got off to a good start, for the first 2km, running at a moderate speed.
Then the next 2km, was when I started slowing down, then I realised, the slower I go, the more tired I would get.
So I decided to rest first before going, stride walked, then started running again.
Then I met Julian, we had a drink, and then walked and talked.
We talked about 'Heroes'. Haha. Love that show.
We got carried away, and talked for too long.
Then I started running again, quite fast.
Overtook lots of people, weaved through everyone else.
This I do not understand, why do everyone still jog so slow when the finishing line as so near?
So I sprinted through.
1:9:33.90!
I managed to get below my desired 1hr15mins!
But still I regretted talking when I could run instead.
I'm wanting to take part in next year's, but $50 just to run, is way too costly.

2007-11-22T20:16:00.000+08:00

Today

Went to school. First time going to school on my birthday.
Started my day with microeconomics. What a way to start. =/
Then we had AFA (Accounting for Assets) test.
I only got to study during lunch break, as I spent my whole night doing econs tutorial.. and a bit of facebook. Haha.
I'm still new to facebook. And it's so messy!
Anyways, I just said a prayer, left it to God and do my best for him.
And well, the test went very well.
2 questions, 7 parts in total.
Out of the 7, 2 were theory. =/
Didn't expect that, disliked theory.
And guess what? No "Profit & Loss Statements", "Balance Sheet", "General Ledger" or "Statement of Owner's Equity".
Was quite shocked.
And yea. We only got trial balance and journal entry.

Then in the afternoon, went to meet Teck Tee, John, Moses, Alyanna, Regina & Kathleen.
Wow. It's been so long since Teck Tee, John, Moses & I met up.
Alas, after so long, we had a nice reunion, I do pray it lasts.
If only Mariel was here too. HTJM&MARK.

In the night, went for dinner with my family.
Wanted something simple, so we had "Tze Char".
The seafood thing at coffee shops.
Ate Oat Meal Prawns! Haha. I love it!
So full now. Haha.

Just want y'all to know I don't need any presents.
Just knowing that y'all remembered my brithdate and being there for me, is worthy enough a present for me already. Thank you.
In the past so many years, never had I received so much a number of wishes.
Thank you everyone! (:

I do pray my birthday wish comes true! (:

The miracles in my life.

2007-11-15T20:17:00.000+08:00

My life has been full of miracles.
It is only this year, that I took time to realise them.
And there are a lot, it's just that we are too busy with our lives, and it happens obliviously.
Here are 3 of the many miracles that happened this year...

1. POA Test
It was my first principles of accounts (POA) test.
I didn't got to study the night before,
I only got to study on the train, on the way to school.
And I was clueless on hat was POA.
I was in the midst of thinking of discontinuing my studies at NYP.
I didn't want poly as my desired education.
Then, it turns out I scored 40 out of 40.
This made me so motivated and I started wanting to do well in poly.
God changed my school life with this one event.
San Sen Pra Chao! (Praise God in thai)

Dragon Boat Practice
Dragon Boat land training. NYP stadium. 6.30pm.
I had to go to church in the night, so I wanted to end training earlier.
I prayed that we would run 12 rounds and end training.
I hate running, but still I'd rather do that dreaded 12 rounds and end training early.
And so, it happened. We ran 12 rounds/half-an-hour.
Was kind of happy yet, dissapointed.
If we had to do more after that, after the running.
I'd be so dissapointed, all that running, and this is it? More training?
Well, then we had some talking about up-coming races, blah blah blah...
And we're done for the day! Was SO ELATED! Haha.
my prayer was answered! Hallelujah!

Taking MRT to school
Taking the train to school everday's a chore to me.
2 one-hour journeys each day. 40mins train ride, 10mins station-to-school walk & 10mins station-to-home walk.
So time consuming right? I know.
And to add on, my walk to the station from home isn't fully sheltered.
Each time dark clouds show up, I'd pray that I'd get to school-or home-dry.
And it always never fails to happen, each time it doesn't train till the moment I step into the station, it starts to pour.
Showers of blessing, it be.

Many the miracles we take note of, many we pass of by unknowingly.
But the best 3 miracles in my life are knowing HIM, my family and of course,
you guys-all my friends. (:

My family just came back from their holiday.
Being alone this past few days was horrible.
Eating alone, sleeping alone, living alone.
Loneliness is the number one thing I dread most and here it is.
It is only then that I realised how big a miracles, I've taken for granted.
My family is the biggest miracle that I could have.

Treasure what you have, do not take things for granted.
Treat each morning like it's your first.
Treat each night like it's your last.

Thank you for reading. (:

In loving Memory..

The end of my holidays..
Last day of work was on thursday. Loved that job.
Friday to Sunday, went for St. Francis of Assisi Confirmation Camp.
My first time being a facilitator.
And my group, Generosity! You guys rock!
And my co-facilitator! Thelma! Coolness babe! Yea!
It all happens so quickly.
Today's my first day of school, and boy did the teachers teacher fast.
I'm still not in my study mode I guess and still in and hoping for holiday mood.

The end of my first job.

2007-10-11T23:19:00.000+08:00

Today was my last day at the job.
31 days flew past so swiftly.
Next Monday would be the start of my new Semester.
What a pity. I love my job.
Only wished I could teach longer.
Well, every beginning has its end.
My first job. One that I liked. Over.

My access card & toilet pass. Haha.
My desk.. Shared with Imran.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
AYA BULAO!! (:

My 1st pay!

2007-09-25T18:43:00.000+08:00

Oh my. It's been decades since I last blogged.
Sorry, have been rather busy lately.
It's been 16th day of my job!

Relief teaching is rather bland when you have to invigilating their tests or assign them pre-assigned homework.
I'm also in the revolving door programme, a programme whereby some students go for a 'special' class separately.
I take 3-1 & 3-4 for maths and 3-5 for physics.
This, I like! Haha. Cause teaching is nice! I love teaching.
After school, I stay back and tutor, this, I like too! Haha.

I love this job so much! Haha.
Let me make this clear. I didn't get this job because of the pay they give.
Everyone asks me the same question. Is it always about the pay?!
I did it for the passion, it's not easy getting a job you like to do.
And teaching isn't as easy as it looks.
Some teachers say now that I'm back to teach, I'm back for my retribution. Haha.
Creating test papers, worksheets and marking aren't as easy as it seems.
So appreciate your teachers! And the time you have in school, you'll miss the days.

Semestral results

2007-09-14T00:24:00.000+08:00

SJC Confirmation 2007!!

2007-09-09T23:55:00.000+08:00

I'm back from camp!

Confirmation camp was great!
Seeing the confirmants bloom liks tau gays.
Haha. Kidding. Bloom like flowers.
It's a feeling of content coupled with joy.
Being the kitchen team was a great experience.
Though i screwed up quite a lot.
Still i enjoyed it, and thank the lord for it.
I think i only managed to get 9hrs of sleep throughout the camp?
Was so tired, had to go to my grandma's place i Bukit Merah after camp too.
When I came back, I fell into slumber aqap (as quick as possible).
This morning, was suppose to go for confirmation mass at 11am.
But i overslept, i slept so badly that my mum spent an hour trying to get me up.
I didn't realise it. Haha.
So I went to st. mary's instead for 12.30 mass. Met clare & kathleen.
Clare! So long never see you! How are you?
I think god wanted me to wake up late.
Just like Subs.
Subs slept in the middle of intercessory, and Kris got words from God, telling him to let subs rest in the spirit, not to wake me up and for us to pray for him.
So we did, and just when we ended prayers, Subs woke up immediately.
The thunderous snoring ended. Haha.
We were praying, then his snoring volume increased slowly. Haha.
Maybe he wanted me to sleep too.
I didn't get much sleep. My body was quite exhausted.
But i wasn't sleepy. Drank too much cordials was testing the drinks.
Haha. Sugar rush for 3 days!
Besides, i had no coins and an empty ez-link card to travel with.

Today in the afternoon, went to the bird park.
Saw birds.
Haha.
Walked, walked and walked.
Saw more birds.
Ate at Bongo Burgers and spent $71 for 5 people. Rip off!
I liked the 'birds of prey' show though. When they fly just above our heads.
So thrilling! Haha.

Tomorrow's my first day of work.
So excited! But...
Guess what?
I forgot to collect my pants from the tailor. =/
Now, i have to wear my dad's pants.
Their so huge! =(

My 1st week of Holidays.

2007-08-29T11:23:00.000+08:00

I've been looking forward to this holidays, for the past who knows how long.
Now that it's here. It's kind of boring.
Seems taht I'm not working this week.
My job's pushed back 2 weeks. So I'll start work then.
Can't wait to work.

My week...
Monday
Rotted at home the whole afternoon.
Went golfing for the first time, with Subs.

Tuesday
When back to AES, to see the choir, meet up with Jerome, Subs & Hui Yi.
After that, went to Church. Aw man. I'm gonna miss the kids. Julia, dorothy, dennis, shermaine and the rest. =/
Hui Yi!! Bamboo & Teddy awaits! Haha... Seet...

Wednesday, Today
Going back to AES for choir, meet up with Zhi Yung & Subs.
Later have to go church to meet the sec 4 parents for next week's camp preparation.

WOHOO!! =D

2007-08-23T19:10:00.001+08:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!
YEAH! Bring out the champagne!
The sweet smell of freedom awaits!
Haha. You have no idea how happy i am.
Can't wait for work on Monday!

Singapore - Courteous? Or otherwise?

2007-08-15T22:09:00.001+08:00

Today, I had to make a trip to NYP to get my idemnity form for this friday's stayover, for the dragon boat national day kayaking thingy on saturday.
2 hours of journey for 3 pieces of paper?

On the way there, a man seated opposite was banging the chair real hard, 'pretending to play some beat'.
It was very obvious it was intentional.
A guy seated 3 seats away-the 2 in between being empty-was pissed and started staring at him, in hope of hinting to the other guy of his annoyance.
That guy shouted back at him, "Why? Disturbing ar? Noisy? Then why you stare stare? &@#$*#^$*@#%&@#$*#^$*@#%&@#$*#^$... Singapore not yours..."
His colourful and expressive vocabulary came out.
The guy, disturbed by his annoyance, got pissed and left at the next stop.
Then someone activated the "Emergency intercom".
The driver asked the guy who activated it to speak to the intercom.
Don't know if it was linked.

The point is, that guy is an average grown up man.
There's no reason for such imature behaviour.
Why disturb others and scold them?
Such childish behaviour only disgraces yourself.

Another thing is that parents like to get their kids to do certain things adult don't dare to do.
Typical Singaporeans. Few days back at CCK bus interchange, this mother was asking her daughter to stand in front of the queue, to make it sound nice.
Despite the daughter's refusal, she was forced to.
IF YOU WANT TO CUT THE QUEUE, DO IT YOURSELF.
DON'T GET YOUR KIDS TO DO IT.
Call yourselves parents? Getting your child to do the dirty job and the wrong thing?
IF YOU HAVE NO GUTS TO DO IT, DON'T GET YOUR KIDS TO DO IT.
Parents are supposed to be role models, showing the right things and not teaching them the wrong things.
If you want your kids to do these stuff, I don't think you're even fit to CALL YOURSELF A PARENT.
This is not the first time, many of times, I see parents forcing their kids to take 'free stuffs' and all other things considered 'dirty'.

Another thing. Earlier today, I saw this old lady.
She was pushing a trolley with a refridgerator across the road.
When reached the other end, she had difficulty getting it up onto the ledge.
Trying to do it in a hurry, to avoid the coming traffic.
And 2 people just walked passed her oblivously, treating her as part of the landscape.
When I helped the lady, she was all drenched in sweat, and the smile she gave so just so priceless.
Kind of like those of kids. Those heavenly smiles, that money can't buy.
But thankfully, Singaporeans are not to that extreme of being so uncourteous.
Taking the train daily, I've seen many things.
Over the past 4 months, I've seen many people give up their seats to the elderly.
I never really saw someone who didn't give their seat up even after knowing of the elderly's presence.
People either are really unaware, if not they will give it up.
Another situation was, when I woke up from my slumber, I panicked, not knowing what station it was.
The train was so crowded I couldn't see after standing up.
My earphones prevented me from hearing the announcement of the train's arrival to that station.
Then this man standing in front of me, just told me, "Yio Chu Kang".
Without asking, he told me. I was shocked and very grateful.
I was almost late for school and almost had me absent marked for attendance.
Till now, I'm very grateful to him.
Wherever he is, "Thank you. (:"

Sorry. Haven't been blogging for a very long time already.

26 Aug.
I went to tamper with my computer Random Access Memory (RAM).
I went to use "Windows Ready Boost", thinking my thumb drive'd be a tool to increase the efficiency of my laptop.
I plugged out my thumb drive before disabling that feature.
When I plugged it back to undo, it was too late.
From then on, my ocmputer became so slow.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't so itchy hand and good in IT.

1 Aug.
In attempt to undo the damages.
I tried creating a new account.
While transferring, I cancelled the process.
All my files were permanently gone.
The only file that I forgotten to move, was the "Work Files".
Where all my secondary school, church & Marketing stuff are all in.
Praise God, it was the only folder that was not deleted.
I tried recovering, but only mananged to recover a fraction.
And most of them were damaged files.
All my memories, all the photos.
All 7000 of my songs.
All gone, just like that.

I want to thank Emanuel, for helping me to recover my files.
Though I didn't get much back.
You took the time and effort, even in the midst of your prelims.
Thank you. (:

The past few days, made me realise how much the people around me meant to me.
Oh. I so love Kanektas! =D
Yea, and Subra & I will open up a car mod shop if possible. (=

2007-07-29T17:07:00.000+08:00

The weekends are here! Wohoo!
And now its going. ):

Went back to AES on friday. Oh, I miss AES so much.
Went back with Subra, Stef & Leroy.
We went back for catechism. They had hymn singing practice for Founder's Day mass.
After that, we ate at the good old canteen.

Then I went back to NYP for accounts tutorial and economics lecture.
Apparently, the 'Hey, gorgegous' people came to NYP. Didn't get to see.

After that, went back to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre to meet Subra & Stef to play pool.
We played for 3 hours. And it was near $20!

After that, at Beauty World centre, Stef saw 3 kittens, she wanted to bring them to Jem's house.
So we spent 3 hours trying to catch it.
I didn't help much actually.
We placed Stef's Mango strudel just outside the bush to attract the cats out.
And then, One caucasian, just stepped on it, turned for a glance and walked off with no apologies.
So we had no choice, so we opened up the strudel and gave the cats.
We tried all sorts of strategies. Stef even sacrificed her bag.
We placed strudel in her bag to get the cat inside.
So the 'cat bag' was empty in the end, no cats and it was full of crumbs.

Then we waited for Jem to fetch us to Catholic Spirituality Centre in Hougang.
Had P&W and session, after that went for supper.
Subra, Jerome & I had to singing sensation!
And Joanne's joining the youth choir! Go cousin!
Then Jem fetched us home. Reached home at 2am!

Then I had to do my Marketing project on BreadTalk before meeting the rest on Sat.
So I stayed up till 5am! I was so freakin; tired!

On sat, my day was plain, met the rest at NLB, Bugis to do project then left.
Sayed home since, to pack my shelve and TV that was moved, due to the changing of air-con.
Till now, the house is still so dirty & messy!

Today! Went to Canossian Sisters Convent at Jalan Merbok.
Had mass there.
Was so hungry. Haha.
Then we had wine! As the blood of christ.
Nice wine.

After that, Antonia, Joanne, Emilyn & Subra went down to St. Joseph's to meet up with the rest of the Confirmation Camp heads.
Comfirmation camp is coming! So excited.
Most of all, holidays are approaching!
3 more projects to be submitted and 4 more exam papers!
I have exactly 9 more school days.
Oh so happy! =D

2007-07-26T15:02:00.000+08:00

My first presentation!
Oh man. I just had my first FORMAL presentation.
Actually its not much of a difference than a informal presentation.
Just the clothes. Haha.
9 ICAs down!
0 more ICAs! =D
3 Projects down!
3 more projects. =/

2007-07-18T00:10:00.000+08:00

Dragon Boat Camp
13-15 Jul

The camp turned out to not be a training camp but a fun camp instead.
What a relief!
We played many games: Toilet paper, cloth game, balloon stepping, battle field, relay, captain's ball & amazing race.
Battlefield was a screwed up game.
Teams have a area with a lot of cans in it. Teams can also used newspapers to shoot other tems newspapers down and no one can touch the cans.
So the rules were SO unspecific.
Team ended up using other materials and all that.
The game only got people angry.
Then we had amazing race! AT 3AM in the morning!
The stations consequently at opposing poles of the school.
From Blk E to Engineering, then to Health Science, then to Stadium, then to IT, then to Carpark 10.
We were already so letargic, add walking long distances to that!
Then at every station, a task has to be performed.
Then we had to find clues.
Finding clues was fun. The small little strips of paper were so hard to find!
They were hidden very well.

Then we rowing on Saturday.
20 of us got selected to go for kayaking instead.
For the National Day's Paddles @ Marina.
I got selected! =D
The rest went rowing.
Hmm. I never got to see the seniors row before.
Nevermind, got upcoming race.

After the camp, rushed to rail mall to meet subra, jerome & kris.
Before heding down to Jln Kakatua! Got a lift from Charles.
Thanks charles! (=
Where we had our Kanektas core team tea session.
Then I went for mass at 5.30pm.
With Stef & Jem. Met Djong, Jaryl, Jason, Felix & Theresa there.
Turns out, the WHOLE 5.30 choir is stef's family. Haha.

Today, was so excited.
Going to have a new air-con.
The new set is so cool la.
Its got a mirror surface; its just so b-e-a-u-ti-ful!
Turns out, its still not done.
They made things worse.
1. The 2 of them argued with each other and wanted to leave.
2. They made the whole place so so so dusty.
3. They drilled holes like nobody's business.
4. They just tore the stuff out and the paint too. Leaving behind many 'paint holes'.
5. The casing they did for the wiring was badly done.
I wasn't around today.
Tomorrow, after school, I'll get to see their service.
If this continues, I'm going to submit a complaint letter to their office.
The service was very dissatisfactory.

2007-07-11T00:14:00.000+08:00

Past few days:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM
Thanks for everything, i love u. (:

Had a 2 day celebration for my mum.
We watched transformers! Awesome movie!
Then we had pizzas! And Ice-cream! And Cake!
Best dinner in the past few days.
Actually I haven't benn eating dinner with my family since monday, till sunday.
Been very busy lately, dragon boat has taken up a lot of my calendar.
Can't imagine 3 years from now, or when competition draws near. =/
I don't know if I should stay. I really want to concentrate on my studies.
For once, I want to study, ever since I got my ICA1 results.

Today:

Had dragon boat land training today.
Last week, we ran 8 rounds, and I was near fainting.
This week, before training. Was thinking to myself,
"How I wish we could run 12 rounds and suffer and end training immediately after that."
Had Connect Group at Jem's house today.
So I wanted to leave early.
And God worked his miracle!
The first half came true.
We ran for 30mins and I so happeneded to have ran 12 rounds!
And so I wanted dismissal, but we ended up doing push-ups, crunches....
Dissapointed, was I. Then after that, we had breifing for camp.
And another miracle occured! We were dismissed! At 8.45!
Haha! Yay! I then rushed down to Jem's house.
I ate Milk Bread for dinner today. Haha.
Had connect group, talked about God working in our lives-Indeed!
Then Jem sent me home. And here am I!
Tired & exhausted! (:

2007-07-05T08:38:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTONIA

Last week, we had a surprise party for Stefanie.
We waited around Holland, till Stefanie & Jeremy were settled.
Then we came in, and surprised Stef!
Haha. She was so shocked, she couldn't speak & started tearing.
Oh my gosh. This is the first time I really feel I made someone's birthday.

Then just last night, Subra, Stefanie, Mark, Kristofer, Joanne, Kay, Patricia, Chris, Lynette, Lynette, Jason, Theresa, Theresa, Leroy & Emilyn met up at Beauty World.
We couldn't get the cake! Haha. Managed to get a slice in the end.
Then while waiting, 4 police stopped by to question ask, asking for IC and who smoked and so on.
While Jeremy & Sarah P. went to eat at Rail Mall Ah Mei's with Antonia.
They sat at the road side and made Antonia sit back facing the road.
Then we came in 3 cars, then all 3 cars stopped and 10 of us came out and started singing happy birthday for her.
Haha. Very cool la. Like Mafia, suddenly got 3 cars, with people coming out.
Haha. Then we crapped & crapped a lot.
The aunty scolded me for not collecting my food when she rang the bell, even after repeated warnings. Haha.
We waited till midnight, then we sang another happy brithday for her. It's official!
Then we continued crapping. Haha.
Oh man. I just love Kanektas. =D

JESUS, TAKE THE WHEEL =D

2007-07-03T17:48:00.000+08:00

Having lessons now.
Today is my longest school day since day 1 of poly.
8am to 6pm. With 1 hour lunch break.
And straight away after this, I have dragon boat.
8am-9pm. So long.
Today I just got my statistics & accounts paper.
Statistics, I had 16.5/25. I lost 8 marks due to a stupid extra step that I just had to add.
Accounts, I got 40/40! Oh my gosh! When I first got it, i thought the teacher was joking.
Oh my, he's serious. I got into a state of shock, I couldn't believe myself la.
I don't understand accounts la.
The first thought that came to my mind when the paper started was,
"Crap, don't know how to do. Let's get this done & over with."
So I did anyhow do & submit, was first few to submit some more.
And this comes up?!
I think its a sign from God.
Cause recently, I've been losing hope in studies.
So lost in what I've learned in term 2.
I just don't feel like studying anymore.
And all these comes up.
First Marketing, then Microsoft Access & now Accounts.
I just feel so edified. Shouldn't let God down.
Shall continue! =D
This reminds me of the song, "Jesus, take the wheel".
Maybe that's what I did during POA paper.

2007-06-23T14:07:00.000+08:00

Thursday

Kayaking Course Day 1
NYP sponsored the Dragonboat team for kayaking course today.
The course today was quite bland.
We learnt all the rescue, capsize drills, safety measures & theory.
Bascially, the "must-have-boring-suffs".
I capsized 2 times! Twice was pratice. The other 2...
One was when my Kayak was parralel to the wave, and bom! Capsized!
The other was when breaking raft, tried to get my paddle out of my kayak, lost balance and capsized! Ended up with my leg stuck inside, injuries & salt water up my nose.
Capsizing is not a very pleasant thing, the feeling of the salt water going up your nose and into our throat is... let's just say unpleasant.
And I was wearing these pair of borrowed shoes, with all the sand going in.
Got blisters because of that shoe.
It was typical of us. It was so obvoius we were from Dragon Boat.
We all came in slippers, shorts & singlets!
Haha. The appropiate kayaking attire is covered shoes, bermudas & long sleeve.
Total opposites!

After that, went for BBQ at East Coast with the KANEKTAS!
We had a lot of fun! Charades, sharing & more.
Though we didn't have a nice good fire. We still had fire! Praise the Lord!
I had a bad time finding the place.
First I went to VJC, then I couldn't find the underpass.
But with Val, I did it! Haha. Thanks babe.
We ate & had lots of fun till 12.30?
Then we split ourselves up.
"Panjang", "Bukit Timah / Dairy Farm", "Choa Chu Kang" & "BUKIT BATOK!".
Haha. I'm not being "Place-ist" by the way.
We took 2 Cabs and Val's & Jem's car home.
Leroy, Theresa & Lynette took 1 cab.
The cab had "calming" music!
It was a buddhist chanting music.
That guy can seriously hold lots of air in his lungs!
He sang long sentences without breathing!
But we couldn't understand a word. Haha.
Then we were smiling at one another & trying to contain our laughters.
Reached home at 1.30, then had to wash my wet clothes.
Slept at 2.

Friday

Kayaking Course Day 2
Today's kayaking was fun!
Spent today learning strokes & all the water stuffs.
And most of all I did not capsize!
Now, I'm growing darker & darker!
Finally got our 1 Star certificate today.

After the whole course, I went to my grandparents' place, to celebrate Father's Day!
Haha. Because I wasn't around last week, YISS, remember?
It's been a week since YISS, so fast!
Then we went to a restaurant to eat.
I still prefer coffee shop food, nicer & cheaper.
Place & environment is not too crucial when it comes to food, for me.
I missed Amplify Friday today.
And "Statistics Theory for Business" prokect discussion.
Dateline's next tuesday!
But then Family comes first right? And they did not celebrate it last week, because of me. They waited for me, its only right that I sacrifice for them.

Today

Went for Dragon Boat sea training.
Everyone was so tired today, we could not row.
And a lot of people did not turn up.
There were 5 more left rowers than right for the guys
So we 3, left rowers had to take right.
So we ended training early today, as we were all exhausted from yesterday.
My back muscle is seriously aching.
Can't do the "A" frame.
and the buoyancy vest rubbing against my shoulder hurts due to the sunburn.
We got a one week break! Because the others had common test.
Today's the Polite race. Wanted to go, but was too tired.
So here I am. Oh! Polite means Poly-ITE by the way.

2007-06-20T23:44:00.000+08:00

Today had Dragon Boat pratice.
Been for 3 sea-trainings already.
This is the first time i met 2 other friends, not from NYP.
I met Theresa & Puay Keat!
ITE CW & NUS were there too coincedentally.
Then we went for rowing.
During shower, my specs dropped off the shelf.
So in attempt to catch it, I hit it upwards, then I had no idea where it landed.
I didn't hear any sound.
And what luck! I was at the cubicle with the drain.
And the cover was open!
So I got Brent to help me search as I couldn't see.
I was so devastated! 2nd time I lost my specs.
I got so desperate, I even put my whole hand into the drain.
It stunk big time. Who knows what pee & dirt are inside.
Then when I open my bag, I found my specs there!
Oh my goodness! I was so instantly happy!

You know its like sometimes, you lose your things.
God has already helped put things back to normal.
And we unknowingly, go through all the trouble & hardship. (The drain!)
At the end of the day, it's always with us.

There's this story.
A man in the desert was thirsty.
He found a shop. He asked for water.
The shop said they had no water, they only sold ties.
Then he found another shop/ He went in to ask for water.
Again, this shop only sold ties, instead of water.
Finally he found a 3rd shop.
Thinking this shop was surely to sell water, he went in.
He asked for water and ...
They only had ties.
Devastated, he went on walking in the deserts.
Till he finally came about a castle.
A castle definetly has water, he said to himself.
He asked the guard, and yes there was water!
But when he tried to enter, the guard said,
"You need a tie to get in."

Like in Jeremiah 29:11
I alone know the plans I have for you,
plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster,
plans to bring about the future you hope for.

Trust in the Lord. (:
And I did.
Guess what happened after that?
On the way to Kallgn MRT.
I ran crossed the road, through the cars.
Most of the cars stopped because of the traffc lights.
So I squeezed my way through, like in the game "Frogger".
Haha. At the bus lane, I almost got hit by a car. the car just speed past.
And I swinged my body backwards only to miss it by a bit.
Almost! Praise the Lord! =D

2007-06-19T23:44:00.000+08:00

Today, we were suppose to have a Sec 1 Camp planners & seniors outing.
I woke up at 11, and was obviously late.
So I didn't really wanted to go.
Then Mark called, saying he's going.
So I decided to go. Guess what?
Only 4 other people were there. Christie, Davina, Mark & Rahmadiah.
We ate at HarbourFront Center, walk walk.
Then Rahmadiah & Davina went off to Sentosa.
Christie, Mark & I continued to walk around VivoCity.
Well, didn't waste my time today.
The Sec 4s didn't come, they had excuses, all involving their mums. Haha. Uncanny.
Then 5 of us, seniors, talked about how we missed AES and all.
Those were the days. I seriously want to go back to AES & study.
I mean no other school can compare to AES, in terms of every area (EXCEPT STUDIES).
But studies is only ONE area, all other areas, AES has it.
Talents, leadership, family-ness, love, care & everything.
It's a school like no other.
I miss AES
& most of all, I miss the people at AES - Friends, Teachers & non-teaching staffs.

Singaporeans.
What's the first thing that comes to mind?
Kiasu? Kiasee? Free stuff? Food?
Haha. Hey! We Singaporeans are very united too.

If you see a man with a white robe on Sunday.
You say he's a Priest.
If you see a white man once every 4 years.
You say he's a MP.
If you see a white woman wearing a huge hat.
You say, "Kah Pak Tendant Come!!"

See, We do help each other.
Singaporeans are united, we do things together.
Another example is, queues.
There are 3 places in Singapore with singnificantly long queues.

1. Cashier of a store on sale.
2. 4D booth
3. Along the yellow line at MRT stations.

If you observe carefully, especially at Jurong East Interchange.
You'll see a long human line along the yellow line.

Singaporeans can be so cute huh?
Haha. K. Thats all for tonight.
Thanks for reading.

One last thing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY REGINA!! :)

YISS: ALL THINGS NEW!! =D

2007-06-17T23:54:00.000+08:00

Hello everybody!
I'm back from YISS! (Youth In the Spirit Seminar)
It was great.
Though I've been through all these before during Comfirmation Camp.
I just want to go through it and strengthen my faith.
Well, motive achieved!
I didn't waste 4 days, the 4 days was worth the time.
Though I have never really rested in the spirit, cry, laugh or dance after healing/out-pouring of the holy spirit, I knew God was working in me.
I just felt happiness in me. Though I'm already so jovial, add on to that, imagine!
The feeling was just so great, not only was I contented with what I went through but seeing others happy, made me happy too.
Seeing the other Kanektas service team members happy was a joy, they were so glad many people from St. Joseph's came. Though it wasn't much, heard it was a great jump from last year.
And not only were they happy, so were the participants.
Seeing the whole transformation process of theirs of a joy.
Renewed in the spirit.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new.
2 Cor 5:17

I strongly encourage you all to go for next year's one.
And for those taking catechism in St. Joseph's. You'll definetly have your chance.
Comfirmation camp is in september! Can't wait.
I just want to pass it on & testify to this comfirmants!
Praise the Lord.

Hmm. About YISS.
I think everyone would agree if there's one thing to improve on, it will be...
FOOD!
Ok la, the food was edible, sec 1 camp last year had worse food, and we, meals comm. had to eat after everyone, we ate the green-turn-yellow vegetables with all the ants & flies around it and the sticky pineapple rice.
So relatively, the food was OK for a camp.
But there was this one lunch. The rice was soft/hard.
Like eating flour & sand. =/
First day, shower time was horrible.
The queue was longer than the River Nile!
But the other days, were much better, the planning comm. was quite efficient in adjusting.
Then for the first two nights, the air-con was so cold.
Freezing Antartica broke lose in the guys dormitory.
In times like this, you'd wish the warmth of the holy spirit burnt in you.
Then Subra, Kris, Melvin, Leroy & I shared a lot of jokes, enjoyed ourselves.
Laughed like mad. We all came to one conclusion. =X
Praise & Worship! Had about 9 of it? I was really hoping for songs like "One Way", "Salvation is Here", "Awesome God" or "Tell the World". Kris wanted "Through It All". Still they had new songs. Not bad though.
The first few P&Ws were not really there. As in the ambience wasn't there.
The participants were new to this and didn't get high.
Only on the 3rd night, Moses & I went ecstatically high.
Oh and Mass! I like Mass, I just love singing hymns.
But then their mass was different, they revamped the whole thing.
They changed the Kyrie, memorial accolmation & the sanctus.
I prefer the old ones.
New lyrics like "Lord of Host" were added, the tune was changed.
Nowadays the church hymns are getting more boring.
Like in certain churches all the new songs are so monotonous and anti-climax.
The highs & lows are removed.
I like the classics, "Offering", "We remember", "Bread of Life", "How great thou art", "were you there when they crucified my lord" and so on and so forth.
However, the masses had "The Great Amen" I like this part! Haha.
Fr. Gerrard from Novena likes it too, it is the best amen, of course we must sing it!

Ok. My group.
PHILEMON 1:6!!
Facilitators, Antonia & Marion!
We had wonderful facilitators.
And not to forget Moses.
Antonia brought lots of Cheezels & "M&M like sweets" for us.
She brought a lot la. And squeezed all into her bag.
Then she made this cute little tags for us.
I love the tags. Very cute la. And it is super hard for you to miss it.
The blind man can even identify you from a mile if your wear this tag. Haha. Jkjk.
Our group had lots of sharing, and the main thing is that we achieved our goal.

My prayer is that my friendship with you as believers will bring about a deeper understanding of every blessing which we have in our life in union with Christ!
Ph 1:6

Had wonderful teammates too, Anne, Colin, Jonella, Justin, Kenneth & Nicole.
Philemon rocks!

During the camp, we had fun too, the SJC people played taboo (Love that game) & "SubraGAY".
The best night we had was the last night.
Melvin, Leroy, Kris, Me & Subra slept/squeezed together on 2 beds.
And the air-con temperature was raised!
But I pity Shawn, he wakes us up every morning with P&W songs on his little speakers.
Everyone would just ignore and sleep, some even threw apples at him!

Earlier today, we had mass, but the rites were not sung. No idea why.
Then we had blessing of candles & salt.
Marion! You gave me so much salt! Saltish! And my ulcer hurt! Haha.
Then our group lacked one candle, so shared with Antonia.
Then when we had to blow out the candles, she blew it out with her nose. Haha.
Then we had prizes, then thanks & finally dismissal.
After being dismissed, we had a SJC gathering.
We waited for one another, waited & waited.
Till everyone was here. Then we prayed in tongues, sang & lifted prayer intentions.
After that we took photos!
Eh. Who got photos, send me!
To sum it all up for this 4 days, "Enjoy, gained & renewed"

I know this post is long, my longest one I ever wrote I think.
Just one more thing.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
to all dads out there.
And especially to my dad.
Love you dad!

2007-06-13T20:51:00.000+08:00

Tuesday:

Went to NUH for my appointment at ENT (Ear Nose Throat).
As you have known I have nose problems.
So I had it checked.
My sinus is still growing. And my nasal sceptum is deviated.
The doctor sprayed some funny thing. Smelt & tasted like WD-40.
And yes, you can smell taste & vice-versa, they're linked!
And for those of you who don't know, WD-40 is a kind of grease.
The medicine smelt like grease and tasted VERY bitter.
So after spraying that thing, had a camera inserted up my nose!
The camera is so long! It didn't hurt but it was ticklish though.
Haha. First time having a camera inserted up my nose!
Well, turns out I'm fine and no operation was needed. Yay!
After that, waited quite long for my medicine.
After which, I went home, changed and rushed to school for dragon boat.
And I found out Puay Keat is in dragon boat too.
AES 2 tenors in dragon boat?
When I reached school for dragon boat, happen to pass by my voice ensemble friends.
They "suan-ed" me! Haha. They were playing only.
Then during dragon boat, we practised some exercise that were to be done on thursday.
Apparently there was supposed to be someone from mediacorp filming us.
But I won't be around anyways.
We did 6 stations of exercise, taufik cute sia.
We were supposed to throw the ball after doing sit-ups we were just passing it.
Then when doing the throwing of the 2kg ball diagonally and twisting, we got the 5kg ball.
Then johnson did it with taufik. Haha. It was damn funny.
Taufik got swung of his position, he was like swinging left and right. Haha.

Wednesday:

Went for dragon boat sea trainging today. Nothing much to say.
We, juniors have a lot of improvement to do.
My body is aching all over, at least I'm ahving a break from all these traingings.

May it be a wonderful experience. Cheers! =D

2007-06-11T09:42:00.000+08:00

Then went to get my specs done.
So for now I'm blinded.
Then went for my grandfather's birthday dinner.

And then... New phone!
Finally got 6300.
Oh my goodness! It's so nice!
Spent the whole night trnsferring my stuff.
Even up to monday morning, it's still transferring 42% of my contacts.

And I have to collect from the post office within 5 days.
It's been 13 days! -.-"

But their attendance was taken!
And Anthonny was in the gym, but he had his attendance marked for this week and next week!
Haha. Brent! "Shilly" fellow!
He is so blur! He helped him sign for next week also!

Then she went strangling and purring at Mike, Mabel, Wei Tieng & Xin Yi.
Then Brent was in the way, so she spanked his ass!
Haha. Damn funny! Smack that! All on the floor.

After school, went to HarbourFront Center to look for my dad's present.

But to no avail. So I'll just have to continue my search tomorrow.
Tomorrow got Principles of Marketing ICA (In-Class Assessment).
So fast! Haven't studied yet. =S
And its all memory stuff. Hate it.
I miss physics and e maths!
Ok. Got to go study now.

By the way, OK stands for 0.K. which means 0 killed.
And this was used during war in ancient history.

2007-05-21T18:46:00.001+08:00

2007-05-20T23:15:00.000+08:00

This morning, I was kind of lazy.
I have a huge pile of schoolwork to do, in my notebook.
So I decided not to go St. Joseph.
I missed choir practice & connect session.
Went to St. Mary's instead. Met my cousins there.

Sentosa!

2007-05-19T23:55:00.000+08:00

Went to Sentosa today for my mum's company's family day carnival.
Was suppose to be a holiday.
Every year, her company would go on holiday if the company did well that year.
But now got new management. So...
There were 4 game stalls. -.-" Super lame games.
Then we had lucky draw, my mum won a 2GB thumb drive.

Then there was telematch. There was 4 groups.

Our drawing had different colours of our mix and unlike others was not cartoony.
After that, we had the flipping of mat while standing on it.
Oh man! Our strategy was copied. There was 2 rounds. We won the first round.
In 33 secs, the other group took ages.
Then the next 2 groups in the next round copied.

Finally, we had tug of war. Again, we won!
We were the overall winners. Guess what we won?

Anyways, I won another calculator.
My brother won another.
We had total of 8 calculators! -.-""
LALOLs!

After that had magic show, some games and it was time for us to free roam Sentosa.
Enjoyed myself man. My family together, with my auntie and cousins went around Sentosa.

The crabs were super big. And the fishes were enormous!

After that, went to Dolphin Lagoon.

Then to the Carlsberg Sky Tower.

After that went for Luge! Oh man! My favourite!
Suddenly got the need for speed.
First time, I went off first then waited for my family.
Waited so long, then they overtook me.
They went off super far la.
But managed to catch up with them.
Even over took 3 others.
The 3 were like blocking the whole road la.
I squeezed through them without banging.
One of them got shocked. Haha. When i squeezed through.
It was so freaking fun!
Had to go again. So we went the 2nd time.
There was this one part my brother went past this guy and he almost lost balanced.
Then right after that, I went past him.
And he crashed! Aww! :P
After Luge we took the Sky Ride!
Creepy. Our legs hanging were above the trees.

2007-05-07T13:58:00.000+08:00

It's been years since i last blogged? Haha.
I'm in my 4th week at Nanyang already.
Starting to regret not paying any more attention.
Have lots of catching up to do now.
We've been assigned our first project some more!

Last Friday, was Linda's birthday.
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY LINDA MEI!!
Clarice, Jasmine & I went to her house to surprise her.
Hillary couldn't come. So only the 3 of us went.
While looking for her house, Jasmine shouted,"Ee Mei Ping! 403!"
Haha. It was very funny.
She's the only one so observant to see something so far and small.
We left the cake & the water bottle at the stairs.
In waiting, we got bored, so we took pictures.
I was supposed to take a pic of myself trying to burn the flower.
Was not suppose to burn the flower.
Then the flame was so small, so adjusted it up.
And... Haha. You should know what happened.
We all laughed like mad. And the flower was black on one side!
Then Elin & Linda came home.
Elin saw the cake and shouted, "Linda!"
Haha. Then we sing song.
Then ate durian cake! With real durian inside.
Then slacked in her room before going off.
On the way home, slept at the bus stop a few times.
Each time being awakened by the noise of my coins slippin gout of my hands and unto the floor.
On the bus i slept again, almost missed my stop!

Saturday, went to St. Jo's to prepare for feast day.
And in the night went to my grandparent's house.

Sunday, woke up at 5am!
Went down to St. Jo's for feast day.
Was late! Sold burgers and fruit juices.
Went for 8am mass.
We earned $1458.50! Obivously it's not ours to pocket.
All earnings goes to the church.
The church needs serious upgrading.
I was the housekeepeer for the day, cause my cousin Leroy came early at around 1.30.
"Fruit Juice!"
"Watermelon Juice"

2007-04-25T22:20:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, went to buy durians... again!
3rd time this month.
Well, it's the durian season after all and its only once a year.
Went to the shop we always go to in Jurong West.
There was a guy opening the durians.
He was funny.
At every durian he opens, he gives a loud, "WOAH!"
Haha. But the durians were nice.
"WOAH?!"
Today, we had 2 hours of Dr. Badri's lesson.
Then slacked in library before going back to AES.
After CAC meetings, slacked in canteen for a while.
Then Regina, Kathleen, Alyanna, Auriel, Nana, Amanda, Ann, Nathaynia & the list goes on.
They sprayd girl's perfume on me! I smelt sweet! Haha.
Then they tried putting on lip gloss on me!
Then, saw Tiffanie, Cherrie & Qian Yi roller blading.
So good. Didn't have such things in my time.
I want to pick up roller blading!
After that Alyanna, Regina, Kathleen & I did our homework in the canteen.
Then Kathleen got horny over the trophy! Haha.
Regina was daydreaming of ...
Only Alyanna was normal! I hope. Haha.
After that, went home with my bro & the 178 gang.
Today went for super early dinner.
At 7pm, instead of the normal 9-10pm.

2007-04-23T23:53:00.000+08:00

Monday! Monday!
Today had Principles of Marketing for our 4 hours of school today.
Watched some funny advertisements.
Then Anthonny, Julius, Andrew & I decided to spam Brent!
Haha. We were sending him 100s of emoticons at one shot, hanging his laptop at the same time.
In the evening, went back to school with Brent for voice ensemble.
We thought it was practise, but it was just some orientation & audition.
I screwed up my audition.
I'm going to bass 1! )= But maybe tenor 2! (=
Guess who's the conductor?! Mr. Ong!
It's been like 2 years? It's good to see him again.
Guess I'll be staying in voice ensemble.
And now I'm back home! So tired.
Chatting with my sotong! (:

2nd Day of School!!

2007-04-17T22:24:00.000+08:00

Today is the 2nd day of school!
We had "Business Software Application", "Effective Writing Skills" & "Statistical Theory for Business".
Business Software Applcation was ok. We learnt how to use Microsoft Office Access.
but Anthonny & I made a wrong choice.
Sitting at the back is so horrible.
Not only does Mr. John Lim speak so softly, the words are freakin' small!
Then for "Effective Writing Skills" We had Mrs. Emilyn Nair.
Whose e-mail was unair@blahblahblah..
Then Philip accidentally read it out loud as un-air.
Haha. It was supposed to be u-nair.
It was really hilarious.
"Statistical Theory for Business" was ok, learnt a lot.
Population, sample, parameter, statistic, qualitative, quantitative, discrete & continuous...
Oh! And we established the "MC" gang.
Market Chat! Anthonny, Julius & I!
Market Chat is fun! Haha.

2007-04-16T18:53:00.000+08:00

Been a while since I last updated.
So, here am I!
Haha.
Last Wednesday & Thursday, had NYP School of Business Management orientation.
It was ok. "Ok la, it was quite bad."
There was rain, waiting times were long, some of the planners weren't good examples.
But our OGL were good, can see that they cared. Ricky & Ryan, and a little bit of Joesph. Haha.

Last Friday, before going back to AES for choir.
My dad & I ate at the coffee shop downstairs of my house.
We saw these 3 boys from Bukit View Sec, sitting at the next table.
One of their dad came. The boy spoke in hokkien, telling his dad to leave in a rude manner.
The boy's father had brought an umbrella for him as it was raining.
And the boy just ignored his dad after nagging at him and continued eating.
Such a disgrace.
The plate of chicken in front of the boy was derived from the father.
The father had gave him a lot for the past 15-16 years.
Only to raise such an unfilial son.
"Like WTH la."

Today was first da of school!
Today we had 4 hours of "Principles of Marketing"
Had my laptop configured for wireless today.
Went through some technical difficulties, since it was not XP.
After that, during lessons, Anthonny, Julius & I started chatting online even though we sat beside each other only.
It was kind of fun but stupid.
And I was appointed module rep.
Anyways, tomorrow I'll be having lessons from 8-4.
My longest day, just like thursday.
Oh well, may tomorrow bring new fun and learnings! (=

2007-04-06T01:28:00.000+08:00

Woke up at 5am today!
Reached Assumption at 6.15!
I was 2nd to be in school.
First was baby. "Duh!"
Did the Easter skit for the last time today.
Many hearts touched and any good comments recieved.
Well done CAC!

After CAC, Kris & I stayed in the canteen till 1.30 before proceeding to the reflection room.
We were suppossed to have session today, but since it was cancelled last minute.
We played games! Charades, Whacko, Truth or Dare, Excorcism & Day&Night!
Excorcism was fun, the objective is to not laugh while Kris & I tried to make them laugh.
Record holder -> Darrik Lim!
Day & Night was fun! It's just like Marco Polo.
One person would be blind-folded and he has to catch someone and guess who.
he catcher also determines day or night. In the Day, everyone moves, when night falls everyone's feets do not move.
It was really fun and to make things harder, we swapped uniforms.
Regina wore John's shorts. John wore Regina's skirt. Kathleen wore my pants. I wore Kathleen's skirt.
Haha! Trust me guys, wearing s skirt is not as comfortable as it looks.
Then John & I needed to go to the toilet.
We could not decide which toilet to go!
Haha. We were running around holding our skirts, with our boxers exposed.
At around 6.30 I left school, went home to bathe then went to church for mass.
Was half-an-hour late again. After mass, we went for Passover Seder meal at the stable.
Left at 11 O' clock. And I'm hungry! Just ate some instant noodles.
I love indomie! Haha! Lol!

2007-04-03T18:50:00.000+08:00

Just came back from AES.
Easter skit went very well today.
It's going to be even better on Thursday!!
Ok. That's all for today, I want to go & eat!
So hungry! Didn't eat anything the WHOLE DAY! Since last night.

2007-03-30T20:18:00.000+08:00

It's been a while since I last blogged.
Who's everyone?
I finally got my new laptop.
So happy!!
Oh! I changed my e-mail, ask me for it.
Because my old hotmail account had a rather long name which was hard to tell anyone and can be quite cumbersome to type everytime I login.
So I changed!
Actually I created the new account since last year, just didn't use it.
Anyways, I love my lappy!!
Haha.
Today AES had Way of the Cross, it went well. Little hiccups.
Tomorrow, SJC Kanektas will be going for a Marian Pilgrimage.
thoe who want to learn more about Mary, do try to come along.
It's going to be exciting.
We're going to Lady of Lourdes, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Nativity, Star of the Sea & St. Mary's of the Angels.
It'll be from 11-5. =)
Next week, the Catholic Activities Council of AES will be doing an easter skit.
Do look out for it.
Mr. Michael teared when he saw it. Mr Lee liked it very much.
The story's very touching.

2007-03-23T17:13:00.000+08:00

Just came back from AES.
Woke up at 5.30 today! Just like old times.
To help out at penitential sevice. Well, it was for a very good cause.
After that, went to Jurong East SATA for my check-up.
It was kind of fast at first. Went for urine sample, took X-ray, took my height-weight & test my eye sight.
My first time taking X-ray.
X-ray was creepy, they had these "caution" & "radiation" signs on the door.
Then there was this big machine, and... you're done, without you knowing it.
After that, I waited like 1.5 hour before consultation!
Apparently, there was someone who had an extremely long consultation, holding back the line.
By right, there was supposed to be 10 people waiting, it ended up with 30?
When it was finally my turn-After the long wait-I was so happy!
Ok, maybe not that happy. But still...
Anyways, guess what's next?
The doctor asked about my asthma, listen to my heartbeat and its over?!
So fast?! I waited so long for this?
Anyways after that, went back to AES for CAC & Choir.
CAC's going to do a skit! Look out for it.
After that, Alyanna, Joycelyn, Regina, Rheina, Yi Xin & I stayed back at the canteen.
We were talking crap and doing 'horny' stuffs-"Herm herm, Reginaaaa..."
Then they were fighting over my crumpler?
Oh! And Assumption has this new ice-cream fever.
Ever since, they brought the ice-cream machine out from their stall.

2007-03-22T23:32:00.000+08:00

Paid my school fees for NYP already!
Kind of excited and nervous.
I only know of 2 other person going to NYP.
Nasri & Geraldine! But both different schools.
Anyways, I've got the SJC people! 6 of them!
So excited! I'm going to get a laptop!
You can't imagine my joy right now! Celebrating silently! Shhh... Haha.
Now, I need to go for medical check-up and submit my online enrolment.
Tomorrow, need to be in school at 7.00! For penitential service.
After that, I can choose to follow the school choir to Victoria Concert Hall.
But they're leaving at 8! Clash with CAC.
If I don't go, I'll be free till 12.30!
Anyways, going to turn in now.
So cya! Thanks for reading! =)

2007-03-19T23:47:00.000+08:00

I'm going to NYP!
I'm slowly adjusting to the fact that I belong to NYP.
Like in Jeremiah 29:11.
Though i used to ask & ask, hoping I'd get into CJC.
Like in Luke11:9-11.
Anyways, I'm starting to see the benefits of polytechnics.
Laptop! Haha. My main reason!
And also I don't have to worry (Choy! Touch wood!) IF I don't make it to University.
The diploma's worth more than any 'A' level certificate.
School's starting on 16 April.
Need to raise fund for school.
I'm doing up the Kanektas blog, so look out for it.
Spent a few hours on the template, and I just completed it!
And do take care, I've spread my sickness to 9 other people already.
Haha. Am I the root of the problem? I got sick first. Haha.

2007-03-16T19:40:00.000+08:00

Hey everyone!
Please do take care of yourselves.
Many people have been falling ill lately.
I just recovered, still recovering.
And now 3 of my other family members have it too.
Did I spread to them?
Haha.
Anyways, in school too.
I know 4 people who are sick and are from AES.
Take care ok? (:

2007-03-12T16:56:00.000+08:00

Woke up this morning, recieved a message from Mark.
Asking me to go to CJC to review appeal
I didn't go, but I met up with him at school to go see Bro. E
After that, we chat at the bus stop for 1/2hr and met Wei Cheang
And now here I am at home
A few more hours before the appealing process is done
Really do hope and pray for that I get in
I really do want to get into CJC.

Oh. Connect sessions this month are here, Mary series!

Behold the new crest!

2007-03-11T22:23:00.000+08:00

The school crest, revamped! Gabrielite crest now.

As of 9th of March 2007, we have a new crest.

Was called back to sing for the 'Catholic Choir' on that day.

We were suppose to sing 'Blessed Monfort, our leader' and the school song.

For the 'Blessed Monfort, our leader', Ann & I were selected as lead singers.

Kind of shocked when Mrs. Lee-Ham chose me.

Ann and I were supposed to sing the loudest and lead.

While Alena, Joel, Joycelyn, Mary & Thaddeus were the assisting lead singers, all 5 sharing one mic.

The other 20++ were suppose to sing without the mic.

Half-way through I heard a 'weird guy voice'.

So I stopped singing, it wasn't me.

I thought it was the teacher on stage, but he soon moved away.

After finishing the song, I found out, it was my cousing Melvin.

.. .. .. Lost of words .. .. ..

Sec 1 Orientation Camp Day 1

2007-03-11T22:11:00.002+08:00

On the 1st day, we had team-building games, mass dance & campfire preparation.
1st day was kind of chaotic, as usual-no surprises.
The sec 1s had a 1hr punishment too.
Slept very late that night, chat with Tiffanie mei, until we dozed off.
Sleeping on the study area table benches are not the kind of place you'd like to sleep on.
The bench was slanted, I had to use one hand or leg to support, or either that, or I hugged on real tight to the bench.
That night slept about a total of 2-3hrs? On-off on-off sleep.

Sec 1 Orientation Camp Day 2

2007-03-11T22:11:00.001+08:00

Given the lack of sleep, somehow I wasn't tired.
Though I feel energetic and all, my body ached a lot!
And the moment I rest my eyes, I will drift away to dreamland.
Early morning, woke up, washed up and went to canteen to wait for the caterer.
We gotthe wrong time, so we ended up waiting for about 45mins?
Too make matters worse, I had gastric.
Nonetheless, we waited till they came, prepared the food & served the food.
Team-building games were the main event of the day.
While campfire stole the limelight in the night.
During team-building games, Clarice & I went to help Steffi and 'gang'.
As they were short handed and many safety precautions had to be taken.
It was quite fun, disturbing them with flour, powder, water, bangings, screamings (my fav.) & "lizards & cocaroahes" (my most fav.).
Campfire wasn't too bad too, and the hosts were good.
Seniors had to sit down, as the teachers were situated behind us.
The performance was very bland, the same old stuff.
Except Aldrich's performance! Rock on!
After that we had debrief then bed time.
Stayed up a little while, as they played "Kinky truth or Horny dare"
Timothy Loh & his horny craps.
Haha. Call McDonald's hotline and order McNipples! Haha!
After that went back to SC room to sleep.

Sec 1 Orientation Camp Day 3

2007-03-11T22:10:00.000+08:00

3rd day is here! So fast?!
Woke up late, kind of overslept.
Slept for about 6 hours or so.
Today was all telematch and scavenger hunt.
I don't know why, but for scavenger hunt, a lot of people think that I'm the guy with the clue "GAY (:"?! What was that all about? Haha.
I'm a senior, not a planner, but no one believes. -.-"
Telematch seemed quite fun for the sec 1s, except for some hiccups with class strenght.
Then we had area cleaning, the school is now not just clean, but super clean!
Then we had farewell, followed by a very very short debrief.
Many improvements could be made to this camp.
Earlier planning, food delivery, and so on.. .. ..
Still got some ice-cream sticks left. ???
1-1, very innovative but lacks teamwork!
1-2 is loud, very loud.
1-3, i seriously have no idea, they never greeted Clarice & I once or gave a cheer.
1-4, nothing much to say, but they sure had fun spelling 'Assumption' with their ass.
1-5, same as 1-3.
1-6, I really like your cheer.
"1-6, give me some more, 1-6, till you get sore..
O to the N to the E to the S to the I to the X..."
1-7, I know you guys personally, great class, known you all since before camp.
And the change in you guys differ a lot, and I know Benjamin is to be credited.
1-8! Hmm.. Didn't treat your instructor nicely & vulgarities-you know who. But at least things changed and you all performed very well.

So tired, my whole body's aching.
Still feel energtic/tired. Haha.
Energtic when keeping myself busy.
Tired when I start stoning or do nothing.
Luckily tomorrow no school! Can sleep all afternoon!

2007-03-09T00:09:00.000+08:00

Mariel left this morning.
Missing her already.
Take lots of care, Mariel.
Woke up this morning at 9?
Slacked around, got prepared, walked to hillview.
Went to Nicholas' house, the house seems so empty.
I miss him a lot. It's been so long since we last went out.
Doubt I'll be likely to have one anytime soon.
Now that he's in Australia, hope he's fitting in fine in Leeming.
After that, went to school for rehearsal for the unveiling of the new school crest.
Ann & I was made the lead singers! What a fright.
We're supposed to lead a 30men choir-CAC.
Tomorrow till Sunday, I'm going to be away on camp.
I'll be at Sec 1 orientation camp.
Need to contact me, e-mail, IM or SMS me, I'll get to you asap.

The MI experience

2007-03-05T19:44:00.000+08:00

It's always a wonder how time can just fly by un-noticed.
Spent 39 days at MI already.
Today was my last day.
New knowledge was gained for 'A' level, but what mattered most was the memorised and friends gained through this experience.
Never had a school so near to my house before and never left for school so late before.
Going to have to leave without starting school at 8/9am and the travelling convinence.
Going to miss the people at MI too.

Mr. Chris Low - Mr. Wesley Tham - Mr. Thomas - Ms. Catherine Ang - Mr. Yang Meng Soon
Ah Tan - Fann Wong - Lowest Common Multiple - Our favourite OM!!

Imran (23) - Dzul - Fadhil - Hakim - Nurudin - Farrhan - Nasrul - Marcus - Navin - Imran A.H. - Masturah - Malak - Siti - Syahidah - Suryati - Azhar - Latiff - Jonathan - Nelson - Joshua - Eng Kiat - Jia Hao - Alfred - Jian Wen - Shi Rui - Benedicta - Eunice - Priscilla - Ying Ping - Xiu Ru - Benny

"Gonna miss y'all.. Keep in touch!! (:"

2007-03-05T19:32:00.000+08:00

Today was my last day at MI.
How fast time flies.
This morning met up with Fadhil, Hakim, Farrhan, Nasrul, Imran & Masturah at MacDonald's.
After that, we headed for school.
the bus, 178 was quite packed, it was filled to the max.
Unknowingly, the bus driver closed the door.
But a permanent millennia was still unable to board fully.
So the door kept on opening and closing, each time banging on the student.
It was kind of funny, then the student started scolding the driver.
"Use your ***kin' brain la.. U blind or wat?? Close close close.. .. .."
Even after getting down the bus.
His girlfriend tried to stop him but it was to no avail.
First lesson was Mother Tongue.
Something about 3 letters, love story and something else.
To summarise it
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LESSON"
After that was "General Paper"
Teacher wasn't in class, had meeting or something.
After leaving school, we went to Civil Servant Club to bowl.
$1.50/game is relaticely cheaper than others outside.
After that, went to the bank to update my bankbook.
Queued up for about 45mins, with my heavy bag.
So long queue! Tiring.
After that, went to meet up with Mary, Kevin & Stanley.
Went to the clinic with them for a check-up for OBS.
Mary was nervous about taking the shot.
Kevin? The opposite.
Haha.
In the end, Mary did not need to take the shot.
Lucky gal..

2007-03-03T18:31:00.000+08:00

Today, went back to AES to do some sec one camp stuff, as a senior.
After that, we went to plaza to eat and discuss.
Free flow of drinks at Mac's, I drank a lot!
After that, went to Lot 1 to meet up with Mary, Ann, Wan Jun, Lester, Benjamin & Kevin.
We went to CCK park, and did we had lots of fun.
After that, went to Lot 1 again to meet Tiffanie, before going home.
And here I am! Home.

Friday, March 2, 2007

2007-03-03T18:13:00.000+08:00

Today, I went to school.
Had my last Physic, Chemistry & Economics lesson at MI.
One more day left at MI.
Kind of sad, many friends made and memories found.
After school, went back to AES.
Went for CAC, 'study' with my 2 horny sisters & Kevin
After that, went for choir.
After that at the bus stop something happened.
Alyanna, Kathleen & Regina flagged for the bus.
All 3 of them. The whole bus stop started laughing.
Surprisingly, the bus driver of 178 didn't see them.
He must be blind or ignorant.
Since 3 people flagging the bus was not enough.
All 6 of us, flagged the bus with a 'Kallang wave'!
The bus did stop! Haha.

2007-02-27T21:08:00.000+08:00

It's been a while since I last blogged.
So here I am!
Haha.
Nothing much to say.
Only got 5 more days at MI.
And 9 more days to see Mariel.
Time really flies.
Hope those special moments would be longer.
And the memories, forever!

Ash Wednesday

2007-02-21T20:40:00.000+08:00

Today school was plain, the same old usual stuff.
After school, went back to AES.
Need to learn how to sing without using nasal voice.
Too nasal already! Haha.
Want to thank Linda too, appreciate it. (:
After choir, hanged around in school with Wan Jun & Crystal.
Before goint to St. Mary's.
Met Samuel at St. Mary's, went for mass together.
And my toe!!
Yesterday night, walked in the kitchen & accidentally kicked the ladder.
Now my 2nd last toe is purple & swollen.
The whole day my toe hurt, couldn't walk properly.
My lower calf started to ache too.
Tomorrow got PE too.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!

2007-02-21T20:37:00.000+08:00

Here's wishing everyone a blessed & porsperous new year!
Went to 7 houses in the last 3 days.
Still have a few more to go.
Played lots of mahjong the past few days.
Mahjong rocks! Good for your maths & chinese!

2007-02-16T18:26:00.000+08:00

No lessons today!
But we had performances.
We had modern dance, cultural dance, skits
& even princess elizabeth dance team performing.
We were 'dismissed earlier' today.
After that, went to AES met up with the rest.
Went to West Mall, wanted to watch movie with
Kevin, Timothy, Ann, Amanda, Caryl, Marius, Kevin, Rheina & Khairul.
But in the end I went shopping with my mum.
From West Mall, to Lot 1 and then to Beauty World.
It then started to rain cats & dogs.
Got all wet, had to take a freezing cold bus home.
Finally got home, leaving soon again for more shopping.
I spent $120 so far and counting...

2007-02-15T19:39:00.000+08:00

Had a quite a lousy day today.
P.E. was tiring. Lessons was plain.
After school went to 'Ah Mei Kaya Toast'.
Mary, Alena, Zul, Kevin, Jeremy, Ryan, Andrew, Ann, Timothy, Auriel, Benjamin & Michael were all there.
Then Zul ask me go to the opposite bus stop to take bus.
Because he had no umbrella, charing still got me drenched.
After that, Kevin, Zul & Jeremy left.
Leaving me behind to wait for 173.
There was no 173 there any more.
I waited there for so long!
After that cross back to take 178.
Met Amanda on the bus.
And I was shivering in the bus, which was 'raining' inside.
Feaces! My MSN screwed up.
290 of my contacts got mixed up among my groups.
Crap! So infuriating, must place them back in place one by one.
To maek things worse, my MSN hangs very 2-4 seconds of usage.

2007-02-13T13:56:00.000+08:00

Need to submit my choices for JAE soon.
Don't know what to put.
The only thing in my mind is CJC.. CJC.. CJC..
So confused!
My mum wants me to go poly, I don't mind actually.
My main interest is just maths & science.
But if I were to go poly, wouldn't my 3 months at MI go to waste?
Even if i were to go to poly, which course?!
Or what about MI?
And yet another dilemma for me.
26 more hours to go before the deadline!
God, help me! Guide me.

I really really want to go to CJC.
But should I go poly or MI in the event that (Touch wood!) I can't go CJC?
I'm entitled to 161 out of the 165 courses.
In case you're wondering, 3 of the other courses require a higher english grade and the other course was chinese studies which required chinese, which I don't have.
And of course, all 20 courses of ITE.

Set our Hearts on Fire Lord!! <3

2007-02-11T01:21:00.000+08:00

Today was the "HEARTS ON FIRE" youth rally.
It was great, those who missed it, you really missed it.
We had lots of things.
Praise & Worship, benediction, homily, healing and blessed sacrement.
Never saw so many people passed out at one time before.
It was John's first healing, he was quite worried at first. Who wasn't?
After he went for healing, he passed out.
After that, he liked it and found it great.
It is a great feeling that everyone should experience.
The flow of God's love through you.
Pentecost in some way, filled with the holy spirit.

Our resoloution: To Forgive! To Love!
Kathleen, John, Jerome & I started messaging people,
"I love you! Thank you for everything."
The weirdest answers come from our close ones.
1. Erm, bye.
2. Do you know what you just typed? Did you send to the wrong person?
3. Where are you? Coming home now?
4. What I give you?
5. Why suddenly say like that?
6. You're super weird! Suddenly say like that.
7. You ok or not?

After that, went for dinner at Al-Azhar's.
Had Nasi Goreng Ayam, by then it was midnight.
So called my dad to pick me up, since there was no bs, and now here I am.
Need to sleep soon, tomorrow I have 5 things on my agenda list.

Monday, going to CJC, to appeal.
I pray that Mark & I may get a place there.
I want to get into science, i know the chances are slim.
But I'm good at Maths & Science, not writing essays.
