11.27 pm
haha i'm back! after procrastinating for so long. aiyah. means i'm not mugggingggggg so many gs. gggggg.
aye such a long time liao. i shall try to go in chronological order. we start from saturday 12th April.
syf 08 started super early in the morning like 6.30am. for us seniors cause nic wanted us to go ntl stadium hang banner early early in the morning at 7am. ah so okay loh. agreed to go cause i decided that it would be quite an experience. haha never hung banners at ntl stadium early in the morning before. yup so went to hang and haha it was tougher than expected it was rather refreshing though. i don't know. maybe its the morning air haha.
me nic sean liu zhen jess luthur yong jie and ng papa hung banners on the terraces. ernest slacked went to the other side to help us see from the other side how it looked. anw hang until chao tired liao i think abt 10 or 11. then went to andrea's house to nua!
hahaha i slept a bit on her sofa. while the others played mahjong ah then later i joined in. and lost whatever money andrea won. heehee.
hmm then like 1.30pm that time. went to kallang leisurepark to lunch. met cindy sheng heng chin seng weixin melvin yiyi kevin sai and i can't rmb who else la. anw lunched. then hurry go ntl stadium see the band. and chop seats.
umm got unpleasant incident with the bouncers or whatever you call those irritating ppl at the stadium but nvm la shall not mention abt it anymore.
anw yea syf was okay la most bands were rather sian. mmm but tk and deyi were good. that's almost abt it. nothing much.
hcimb. TOP (assesment) BAND AGAIN.
tk. GWH.
deyi. GWH. BEST DISPLAY BAND. BEST DRUM MAJOR.
haha after that. went to singapore flyer mall there to have jts at
but then by the time reach there they finish dinner liao. so uhh just go and slack there and then at marina square there loh. aiyah rather sian la. but interesting and sexciting sexperience at the bus stop made the whole trip worth it.
oh and its fun playing with lights too! hahaha yay.
sunday had outing/recce at sentosa with sixjay cause they wanted to chack the place out for SL project but umm people needed to go home mug so just go there see see a while then go home liao. nothing much of note. i think we all felt rather extra over there since we weren't really involved.
umm anw. chronological order shall stop here. cause i can't rmb anything liao my brain's just this big jumble of info.
sixoh tradition continued! haha ice-cream eating session! every year athena will sell ice-cream and every year. we'll buy one tub and pig out.
chocolate on thursday!
green tea on friday!
haha random. but it was fun. :D
aye and i realised, no time to play liao sucks la. cause now till nov must uhhh like mug for As. then after that got roughly one and a half month to slack only then after that NS liao. ):
oh speaking of NS NO NEED TO GO IN DECEMBER walao i quite scared cause my sbj and snr all like sai like that but aiyah not bad la sbj barely made it then snr that time michael wong was rather kind so yea managed to get my C yay GOLDGOLDGOLD.
[edit] on ernest's request: ernest own 5 items. 2.4 own ernest. [/edit]
haha and pw A which isn't much either. 98.2% of hwach got A la. you take 10 ppl there's a super high chance that all will get A la. now i know what all the competitions, awards, ccas are for. cause in a school like this, even 4 As isn't enough. you just got to get that extra bit.
oh well. at least i've got the ones that mattered (so far)
mmm and i must say band pracs nowadays are getting better and i'm not saying it just cause leng reads my blog. no its really better with less tuning and technical stuff and more playing. :D:D:D
i realised haha got a lot of random stuff put together. aiyah but don't know la just writing down whatever comes to my head. so its a bit disorganised. but whatever la.
gah. haha was looking at my archives then got this post abt the time we celebrated yiyi's bday last june where they came to my house to bake cake. then got damn lot of screw ups one. then must go my neighbour's house to bake in the end. can go read!
HAHHA and oh, and there was this time when sean was using the electric mixer mixing the icing thing he suddenly lifted the electic mixer out of the bowl while it was still on and specks of icing stuck to the mixer started flicking everywhere and my neighbour didn't notice, her back was facing him. and then he looked at her and then he looked at me with this super bo chap face like 'what the hell?' and then quietly put the mixer back into the bowl. hohoho.
AHHHHHH this made me laugh. that was funnnn. baking screwed cakes running in the rain. aye those were the days. ):
and aye. how to write interesting posts now must consider circumstances leh. last year j1 play play have fun. now j2 la.
A levels never ending homework sucky grades boring band pracs
interesting life huh. piang eh.
oh to illustrate my point, presenting to you the-bug-that-was-more-interesting-than-mr-loy during his 3 hour make up lesson.
what a sad life we lead. because cider is the elixir of life

hai. band's getting damn sian nowadays. leng's so frickin anal. and pmsy its damn annoying la.
he cares so much abt tuning and stuff it gets damn boring for everyone else minus the section tuning. for them, its pure torture.
band is super sian. in the past i went for band pracs cause the people there were happy happy people who tried to enjoy their music. now everytime i go for band everywhere i look i see stone faces everyone just too sian to do anything liao. we can hardly breathe in band la. every move we make will probably be slammed. how to be enthu.
and leng really is quite unreasonable sometimes. he always scolds us abt miserable and often unvalid problems. sean made a super valid point la. we're not some frickin poly band la. we do have our studies to care for. over here, studies take precedence over music. hello this is HWACHONG INSTITUTION leh. not some cjc la. piang eh. times have changed la. even if they haven't we come from almost totally different backgrounds our priorities are all different you can't expect us to devote all our spare time on band. we have homework tests stress and of course our social life to sttend to. band isn't our life. at least, its not mine.
i wouldn't mind quitting band le. i dont' care anymore. who cares? why pursue it when it becomes a chore and bore instead of your passion. its so stupid to continue isn't it. its much like learning piano. i stopped at grade 7 cause i thought it was boring i hated piano lessons. i liked playing the piano. there's a difference here. i don't like technical aspects of band i like making music. the same difference over here.
everytime leng says that we'll get kicked out if we miss one prac i really feel like just skipping the concert la. i mean, who cares. anw there're so many ppl out there to cover me what. and if i quit band then i can just immerse myself in frisbee which is getting more and more :D while band is getting more and more ): maybe their both related but either way, i don't care for band much anymore. want to kick then kick loh. who cares. what's the band without its players anw.
actually frisbee and band people are fun loving groups of people who truly enjoy what they're doing. the difference is the instructor.
david woon doesn't care much abt nationals in july. his goal is to promote the sport and to keep people fit and healthy. which is pretty much fine among us all. cause all we want to do is just to have fun. and mr woon's okay with that given his super flexible trainings.
leng's goal is to provide a good concert which gets on my nerves sometimes. cause sometimes (or rather, most of the times) he gets too worked up over having a good concert hence nag nag nag scold scold scold. and then we all get sian diao and lose our enthusiasm.
anyway i don't think leng is as good as he claims. probably the reason why we were gushing over his conducting the first few months was cause we had mr lim which was like a dead fish. but compared to lim's predecessors like mr yeo leng really isn't that good. and his playing isn't that good either. tone-wise he's much airier than a instructor and philwinds principal flautist should be. uhh technique wise he should be around there la given his age and experience.
hai i don't like to write this kind of stuff to denounce people but i really feel like i have to cause i really feel like i'm losing it. ): like really damn sian la. esp friday pracs where leng ALWAYS pmses. damn badly. then friday pracs will just drag on till imba late then everyone will be damn tired and then he says he's sorry that he held us back but we all know that he's going to do that again the next week. grahhhh.
hopefully it'll get better sometime soon although i don't really expect things to change there's just no reason to. if anything, its just going to be worse. because cider is the elixir of life
7.24 pm
today was a fun fun fun day hahahhaa cause today GOT NO SCHOOL.
today was medical check up day hmm took 16 in the morning to bt merah int. bus was frickin crowded la.
and there was this fat lady trying to squeeze her way all the way to the back. and this annoys me like hell la. i like peaceful bus rides. i don't like people squeezing past me like crazy. what's wrong with standing at the front of the bloody bus la. squeeze past 2 rows of ppl at the aisle. squash the people at the back what the hell. not like there's a lot of space at the back. stupid or what.
anw reached bt merah then took 57 to cmpb. mm then me and sean like some nooblets like that. dunno how to walk.
aiyah then somehow made our way there then must surrender phone. so communication with the outside world = 0 no pictures either ):
hahah then went for the real thingy. mmm nothing much la. phototaking. oh ya. stupid la hair so long. then they comb my hair until like damn chou like that la. side parting and all. nbnbnnbnb. like sua ku like that.
mm then went for boring stuff. room 1: urine testing, blood testing room 2: eye check up room 3: audio check up room 4: chest x-ray room 5: dental check up room 6: medical room 9: IQ test all sorts of shit.
oh ya. go for urine testing that time. supposed to go collect urine at the toilet. then me and sean saw this guy go in. then we wait outisde. cause small toilet what later no space squeeze squeeze squeeze for what. anw then another guy came up then just open the door and walk in then actually the toilet DAMN BIG. okay la rather big. got space for like 10 ppl. hahaha omg then we like sua gu like that really. damn malu la.
hahha and then later collect blood that time the guy was like complaining to another doctor complain until IMBA funny. i tried damn hard not to laugh k. not funny leh laugh when they trying to draw your blood.
umm they also got room 6. where they do the actual medicalcheck up. haha they made us all strip to shorts then wait damn long before they come back from their lunch break. walao eh. i also damn hungry la.
and then when they FINALLY came back like half hour later then then go do other tests heartbeat, BMI, blood pressure.
oh and got this room. must go in and strip totally. see if you really guy or not. like, wah piang eh. DO I LOOK LIKE AN EFFING TRANNY TO YOU?? grahhhhhhhhh.
umm then done liao room 9: go do the stupid iq test. walao damn taxing on the brain la. got so many questions. do do do do do. finish liao then got another set. do do do do do. its an unending torrent of questions la. got time limit somemore. super tiring. and halfway somewhere near the end the keyboard couldn't function. i nearly died. i thought i had to do it all over again.
haha but lucky the guy come and repair for me hahahha yay! oh and other than the stupid iq questions and math questions they asked some rather interesting questions so that they can assign you next time. like: i want to go skiing in the future. - yes i would like to go scuba diving - yes i want to learn to fly a plane - YES i think that climbing a mountain is fun - yes and stuff like that which is really fun hahaha
ahhhhhh then finish. at least today a lot of myths were dispelled.
myth #1: you don't have to actually run during the medical myth #2: you don't have to really wear PE attire myth #3: they don't grope your balls myth #4: the test is 5 hours long myth #5: PES A isn't such a big deal after all.
#2: haha today me and sean were the few ppl wearing PE attire la most of them wore normal exercise gear loh. walao then we look like retarded country bumkins damn out of place la. haha okay there were a lot of dropouts with no PE to wear but that's not the point there.
#3: haha its just strip for 5 seconds only. oh actually there's a variation. sean said that you strip then they show you a photo of a naked guy you erect, you're gay PES F straight away. but again, it never materialised.
#4: the test ended at 12.40pm for us la. haha damn slack la. somemore we didn't really rush through it waited for each other and everything. its actually a much shorter time then the stipulated 4-5 hours but still. its a whole day off school! i wouldn't mind spending everyday like that :D:D:D
#5: PES A isn't such a big deal. i got PES A, sean got PES A, nicholas got PES A, they guy beside me got PES A. seems like half the people there got pes A la.
haha anw i screwed up the iq test hopefully not too badly later they go put me in infantry then must go jump around in the jungles like retarded monkeys like that. scary! because cider is the elixir of life

yay tmr no school! cause need to go down for medical checkup with sean and nic there goes 7 hours of lessons! wheee!
ah anw. thursday had this DAMN BORING PHYSICS LECTURE caps bold underline.
instead of going on abt quantum physics the stupid lecturer went on abt the history of quantum physics instead. like, start of the lecture i flipped lecture notes to page 2 where introduction ended lecture proper started. by the end of the lecture the lecturer haven't even finished page one la at least i think he's still there he lost the whole audi after 10 mins i think.
HISTORY OF QUANTUM physics. bloody hell. who wants to know who did what first who disputed what who tried to do stuff differently who organised what meeting. who!!!!
wherever i looked, left right center everyone was doing everything other than listening to the lecturer.
far left: here we see the triangle sleeping.
left: chong chen sleeping, jie hao doing probability local triangle far behind at some page of quantum physics doing their own self study
right: naizeng and guan sen far away in dreamland.
right. then there was thursdays with loy time for 4 hours with mr loy. consultation/remedial, lecture, lab.
haha chem lab wasn't that boring. we had to do some random sets of experiments and umm ya did them to the best of our abilities
haha though it was quite funny experiments all v guai lan. then we thought we do wrongly cause got 2 layers one the one small bubble in the middle ask mr loy then actually we do correctly heehee. oh and we did the silver mirror test which is quite cool hahaha mr loy made a v nice silver mirror.
of course there were the labels la. working with naizeng isn't really working with naizeng unless he causes some amount of trouble today was no exception
stickers galore!
haha wonder if guan sen already found the wo ai jasmine wo ai zhong guo stickers on his pencil case liao. heehee
anw econs lecture was boring too. so today was the great boring teacher day!
and then later frisbee was randomly funny cause raining then we just train at outside audi sort of la just do random stuff with the frisbee.
friday was rather sian too. supposedly highlight was athena fiesta but then again was rather sian cause too noob liao. just win loh.
saturday was the great banner painting day supposed to meet at 10am. i came at 9.50am mm and was the earliest! yay! oh minus melissa and weiyang. hanky panky-ing in the band room.
then rujun came late (again!). at like 10.10am and then once again he refused to honour his bet. bet was made the day before at KAP.
that should me or sean come late then we pay him $5, later rising to $10. should he come late, he pay both of us $1, later rising to $2.
and then today he refused to pay. so yea whatever la. was looking to a rather large windfall and a form of steady income...
anw it wasn't that bad. wei xin came. then nic came. then went to canteen to kope some xiao mi mi food cause got core module today.
then went to buy paint. came back. uhhh then decided to go for lunch.
see our inefficiency yay! haha we went to make the transparency for the design so that we could like flash it on the ohp then chalk. like that more accurate. make liao v nice la! hahahha.
anw then went back to (finally) start chalking. meijun cai ning and weely came also by this time. so got like 9 ppl yay! haha then uhh started chalking problem was we hung the banner below the lt there right in front of the cctv.
on one hand, this was free publicity for security guards and uncle chong and in case the school decides to show this to the rest as a bad example.
on the other hand, mr ang wouldn't have been too pleased with this.
anw after chalking got down and dirty for painting yay hahahha rather fun
after buying many many paints and trying to mix and get the correct colour we decided to buy the colour itself dunno what colour la.
and halfway through cai ning decided to multi task and play twister while painting. contorted her body like super lots of different ways la just so that she could properly paint unpainted spots.
anw. finished really late. like 8pm. due to hiccups such as (and mainly) the lack of paint.
haha but dunno how they managed to squeeze out drops of paint from the metal can. yea so can finish by today la. oh and we changed the words from blue to black. to save paint.
taa daa! the finished banner. rather plain compared to its predecessors but simple is good. :D:D:D
haha we decided to hang it up first then get approval on monday in case it got destroyed along the way haha. yea so here's a rather badly taken photo.
oh btw. me rujun meijun went to photocopy the transparencies anyone who wants a copy can tell me. or rather can get a copy and go consultation room to photocopy one. :D:D:D
random note #1:
anyone from 4D remember him?
random note #2:
credit to daryl for spotting this. now we know the r&b stall auntie or rather the thai noodle house auntie dunno how to spell :D because cider is the elixir of life
