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.

Feeling pretty strange about starting another blog..... oh well here goes....
Seriously I dun even know why I wanted to resume blogging after about half a year... maybe it is on impulse that I'm very bored.
Life in JC is seriously like a bullet train, since you have to rush to the venues for tutorials, lectures and even practicals. It doesn't help if the venue for the next lesson is a mile away from where you are. You just have to keep running. Good reason to train for 2.4km run ...lol.
Anyway, I think I should start chronicling my JC life from the time I first enter PAE to now. Since it will take about 15 chapters to talk about everything that has happened during this 5 months, I prefer to summarise it into just one post:
In Orientation 1, I became Pikachu in OG12, Family 3, due to my pikachu towel.(Sigh....) That nickname stuck through the PAE period. It was in O1 that I embarked on the journey towards the JJ leadership role, when I technically rushed up the hall after the E-web to take the form. There were six in OG12 who became JJ leaders. One became a council-elect, Two worked as the CSLs, one is a very active OGL to date, one became a mugger and the last one fell into the doldrums, becoming a nobody.( Guess who's the last one.... no prizes this time) Five of them ultimately became part of the shadows in O2, with one becoming the Camp 2IC. Me.
Besides that, I also became the chairperson/class rep for PAE-08s17, with support from francis patrick, bervyn and you yi "cuttlefish".( oh, and I'm setting a good example at that time..haha) During that time, they were my buddies who go through thick and thin with me.(oh and not forgetting amirul and kueider "NJ-ian") I had power. But soon I realised that with great power comes great responsibility. And this great responsibility was something i have to fulfill, and the consequences for failing to do so is dire. I cocked up the attendance at PC and got punished by Mr "Handsome" Ng in the end.( 16 rounds) I screwed up at many OGL meetings and got a scolding from mr leroy choo. As the Camp 2IC, the pressure of backing up Aiksong( the Camp IC) got so intense during O2 that I suffered several mental breakdowns.
Lighter moments of O2: I became a half-OGL for OG6 'O2, as I went to the family 2 spot to interact with the campers during the second night after JJ night(where I got the second breakdown). This was possible since I'm free and wai tsz asked me to help her "da li" her campers a bit.Then I knew about the compassvale girl and another gal who i ....ah hem....used to like. No spoilers allowed though.
The end of the Orientation 2 marked the end of my Shadow life. But it also put a stop to my path to taking leadership roles. And then JAE starts, with me gaining a relatively insignificant post of AV rep in 08s12 and the rest of the shadows either class reps or council applicants. Thank you, Lucas, for remaining undisputed being the class chairman. Thank you, Line Camp, for unearthing so many talents in the campers. Congrats, Zihang, for being such an asshole not participating in Line camp and instead playing your cousin's PSP during that time. Even with upcoming tests, you fear flunking your tests. You earn the prize of becoming someone insignificant.
Anyway, the start of JAE put the end to my active JJ leaders' life, since i stop joining the leaders' events. But the process gave me insight into JJ councillors, leaders' stuffs and a lot of other things, and the experience gained was priceless. I have witnessed the rise and fall of leaders like Mr Aravindhan the NATO FBT. I sometimes come and take a look at the camps in JJ, offering advices and help.
JAE: No more "flirting" with Sheena, cos she's TK 's gal. No more slackin in the library, cos got more tutorials. No more leading the people, it's time to be a mindless follower. No more fans and buddies, it's time to face the truth.
