Long, long time never updated this blog, must be too busy liao.....
Anyway, I just survived 2 consecutive camps( All boys NS Prep Camp and Leaders' Camp) and I'm grossly drained out of my energy. Not to forget the fricking scar on my face due to skin allergy.
All Boys' Camp was darn tiring. First upon arrival, we were divided into wings and further sub-divided into platoons. I entered Platoon Bravo 1 with andy "phelps" as the platoon commander and he technically learnt fast in becoming a PC. To the extent that we guys were ordered to do 20 push-ups by him for not reacting fast. Haha.... we got an applause from the other platoons and that was kinda embarrassing for us. I literally took a refresher course in footdrills( inclusive of shouting the wrong timing for behenti during marching thanks to Mr Chua "Ah Beng", it was when i consulted hidayah on footdrill timing that i got the mistake.) Powder Bath was...... an eye-opener not just because all the guys were half-naked and putting the white powder on their backs. And I swear I will cherish the wonders of adequate rest after staying up to 3am in the morning listening to the teachers' military experiences in the PE porch. On Friday morning, we did repeative sets of demanding exercises and I ended up doing push-ups like Xingyu. Weak.
After-effects of NS Prep Camp: Hallucinations during lectures. Zzz-ing during tutorials and lectures. I "siam" my way off theresa using this excuse too. Din work for long though....
Leaders' Camp was a bit less physically demanding, much more mentally demanding. I do wish to have a brain like andy such that I can think better and give better ideas. Was in Group J and having Hidayah as IC, this group was kinda fun, not to mention the ever charming Razak being in our group. I forgot the rest of the camp due to my current condition though, but friday night was awesome. Mr Leow played various ABBA songs through the laptop in the hall and the atmosphere was pretty good too. Dominic almost got his worst nightmare, which is dancing with theresa. (also happens to be one of the many sweet dreams she has) That was also the time when I went to cool down and saw Janice still at work ALONE in the LN when the other councillors are singing and having fun in the hall. Although I knew of her responsibilities, I do wonder if another councillor should be accompanying her during this time.
Disclaimer:
Message to Jerome: Yes, I did talk to her. And no, I din flirt with her and do anything stupid.
Message to Xingyu: If you can do more standard push-ups than me, then I may drop the taunting. Or not

Promos are coming real soon..... about 2 weeks later, i'll be facing the most daunting academical challenge i have face in my entire lifetime.(or JC life at least) And the problem is, I haven't even switched to my "ultra-mugging" mode. Although I am not in the danger list( in other words, any score from UUU to EES, my score being CEC), however there's always the possibility of retaining. This is when the angel of retain-ance holds a scythe to my neck. And I hate people threatening me.
Guess it's time to focus on my studies then. Let's not care about fighting to earn a reputation of a true JJ legend. Let's not care about trying to be with her. Let's not worry about my household expenditure. For now.
"The true battle of the first year awaits, my friend. Abandon all useless thoughts and go for it. The future of your journey lies on this crucial battle"

A long time has passed since I last posted on this blog..... it is as if i have left this blog rotting for years. Many events has taken place during this period of time.
Failing Physics again and again, JJ Yoga Conference, Wushu performance in Racial Harmony Day, becoming the producer of the JJ game development team, joining the Bikila house comm, Finishing the PW EOM, Losing to that I Chess coach on chinese chess and hence being forced into chess club, and so on, I could even write a novel about this, and that's excluding my personal thoughts.
"Hi-bye" the often two words that connect me to her...... To one, it seems to be irrelevant and the sign that the girl is not interested. To me, it is more than just two words. It's something different.
Tomorrow is the prize-giving ceremony and I am going there to be part of the audience. Yeah, It could be boring, but I am kinda interested in knowing who is getting the prizes. Maybe if I'm good enough, i might even get to be one of them next year. But that's an impossible dream.
Sometimes, I don't know what's my purpose in life. A life without a purpose is not worth living...

Inspired by the Muttons' way of saying people, I decided to make a list of my own(inclusive of those from the Muttons to Midnight show on 987Fm):~
You are so hairy that rebonding will cost you one million dollars.
You are so hairy that an ant crawled in through your toes .... and reached your knees ten years later.
You are so stupid that when I ask you to buy a colour tv, you ask me, "what colour?"
You are so stupid that you sold your Xbox 360 to buy Halo 3.
You are so stupid that when your teacher told you to pay attention in class, you open up your wallet.
You are so poor that when robbers rob your house, they LEAVE you money.
You are so stupid that you need a tutor to learn how to scribble.
You are so ugly that they hire you as Shrek's stunt double.
You are so ugly that minutes after you were born, your mother shouted, "What a treasure!"... and the doctor said "Yeah, time to bury you."
You are so fat that when you went to the beach for a swim, people thought you were an off-shore island.
You are so fat that you measure 36-24-36..... and your other arm is bigger.
You are so fat that when I swerve my car to avoid hitting you on the road, I ran out of petrol.
You are so fat that when you went on the Singapore Flyer, everybody else experienced a flying... out of their cabins.
And lastly, my personal favourite(and most contreversial): You are so black that when you eat a chocolate cake, it's called CANNIBALISM!
Hahahahahaha

Today's Sports day, and the very first one I participated in JJ too! Although I din get to be one of the student helpers or the house comm people, I still broke my voice trying to cheer spontaneously for Bikila. And as expected, Bikila won the overall champions once again like Man Utd winning the EPL with a superior goal difference. But I din exactly like the way we Bikilans were behaving when our sportsmen/women were slogging their guts out for the win. People just sitting down, stoning, playing with their handphones and so on..... bloody hell, why do they even bother to come for sports day at the first place? Anyway, there's some mass dance songs played by the AVAC crew(as requested by some of us) and we danced on the track during the interval! But, I still cannot find any partners!( that's when i begin to miss wai tsz or start to dance with yong kiong) Sigh.....
BTW, Annette is damn pro in the sports day, clinching up quite a lot of medals. However, she is still a cut below rono's felicia( which just flew like a banana on steriods... if bananas can actually move) Kin Onn obviously put his priority in the 4x100 relay and the Fartlek event before the 100m event.(which explains why he "suck" on sprinting 100m... or is it that he's really tat weak? I dunnoe) We also won the best mascot competition, with kelman in the panda ranger suit wearing briefs.(maybe he won cos of the briefs) I guess kelman might just keep the underwear as a souvenir and wear it during the common test to score his 'A's! LOLX
After the event, I helped out the students helpers to carry the chairs back to the hall and decided to follow the 08s12 guys to eat lunch outside .......... until they decided to go to plaza singapura instead of west mall. I had no choice but to bid them farewell, alight the bus and walked to west mall on foot. I then went back to my school to get my testimonial but to no avail, the bloody testimonial is still not in! So much for the efficiency of the s'pore education system. Damn, and I have 4 days to prepare for 2 major tests on next tuesday. JC life is one heck of a problematic one.....

Woah..... finally finished the Econs project presentation slides..... that's one out of a thousand burdens on my chest relieved.
To-do list: -Chinese tutorial(by tue)
-Study for Maths lecture test
-Study for Phy WA1
-Maintain some energy for cheering in Friday's Sports day(GO Bikilans!!!We are like Man Utd!)
BTW, yesterday's talentime at NTU was a blast, with so many fabulous performances by our fellow JJcians. And the competition is intense! I do have a desire to do some dance moves there.(breakdance anyone?) However, I missed the family and SLO dances due to some unforeseen circumstances. Sigh.
Anyway, Basket won the popularity award, which is like so obvious. Cheng Yi and Jhan's coordination was damn good. And we will never forget Jhan's rendition of "my humps" and "gimme more" , as it is damn funny. Their finishing touch of 881's yi ren yi ban surely touched the hearts of some of the teachers there. Wow... Hao Jie would be proud of his two fellow disciplines.
I initially sat in the first row right in front of my class to enjoy the performance. However, after the interval, I decided to crash into damien's class as I was getting a little bored sitting in front with no one to talk to/disturb. I chatted with the so-called half-immortal and the Armani Zhang, and stopped short of talking with the gals. (Din talk to the gals cos i dunnoe most of them)
Btw, the JJ alumni who gave the guest performances were not only dashing (i bet some gals were like "OMG! He's so CUTE!), and they also sang very well. Wow....now that's music to our ears.
Last Words: Andy and I drank Mcdonalds' milkshakes for the first time today after the econs project meeting at JE. It is a MUST-TRY and definitely better(and creamier) than the ones found in JJ!

My Physics Lecture Test is officially a flop. For the second time running. Damn, if this goes on I might not even pass Physics and get promoted to J2. And I do hope that my Chemistry, Maths and Economics are good enough to merit a pass. Sigh.... Maybe i should lobang Mr Andy "Lawrence" in asking his senior for help. If I am SUPER desperate, I might even get Jackie as my tutor.( not that he's now in MI, it's just that his Sciences are always rock-solid. Like Stonefish, the would-be pres of SC) Maybe I should not procrastinate and study for a lecture test the night before. Especially PHYSICS!!!! Well, my results could as well make Mr Raymond Loh (my sec sch phy tr)cry.
This week is definitely not a good one, especially for my projects. I spent nights doing the economics project presentation using the written report, and when my group got the report, it's full of red ink. My PW group has not started on the GPP(on black-and-white) early this week and just settle on the preliminary sketches today. I do hope that the GPP could appear on Mon in Mr Lawrence's(the real deal) hands.
Shock or Surprise of the Week: When I first(more like finally) went for the Wushu training this wed and did some routines the other members were doing, the coach talked me into entering the Tai-Ji Jian event in the wushu competition next year. I was like, WTH, but it was pretty obvious that I will kena sabo-ed since my foundation in wushu was considerably better than the two other J1 members and my learning speed was ,well, "fast". I consulted Ryan, my Indon wushu expert who's now in JJ squash, about the ordeal and he said the tai-ji jian routine is tough but the physical training is minimal(since it requires stability in the legs and flexibility.) He recommended me to try nan-jian, which has a simpler routine but rigorous physical training. The nan-jian does look a lot cooler(and more menacing), but I don't know if the coach has any comments if I tell him that I want to change to nan-jian.
Either way, the bigger problem is that which CCA do I need to focus more on? Modern Dance or Wushu? Since the SYF and the wushu competition is likely to clash next year, I feel that if I did not set my priorities straight, it will be terrible.
