More photos

Aye, since I so free, and Panadol's working so well, I'll talk too... The god called yongquan working on his national team problems...

Yes yes, wei zhong wears long white socks... Did tms take this?
Time to get unplugged pal...
yea, do some complex sudoku...
Sorry Jian Hua, this was partially why we didn't rehearse on tuesday...

Friday's outing! As usual, impromptu, and KAP again... I can't believe I ate fillet meal for lunch 2 days in a row... And by ordering 4 people's meals alone, I truly experienced internal diseconomies of scale... thankfully mui suan called the rest down to help in time... and thank god, i could have ended up ordering another 2 chicken burger meals...
The usual... no cubes, no 6K... even at meals...
Wa wei zhong's actually here! What is he looking at anyway?
OMG WHY DID YOU ADD COKE TO THE CHILLI SAUCE?!
Fine, I'll "coke" my fries... they're so salty anyway...
Yes, I mean it, in your coke...

Sorry xinrong, we dragged him along too... this outing is a miracle sia...
Jeremy and his PW group...

Including Shizhi and Zhao Dan! WOW...

And Yuting as well!!!

YAY our PW group and Hui Min=) WEI ZHONG LOOK AT THE CAMERA LAH!!!

OK jiayou for PW! Remember to laugh at our video=)

supreme dictator receiving advice from his trusty welfare rep.


then the crazy quoridor lego game starts:








and of course: Class lunch.



More picts here!

And no wonder. so when our group was finding other groups to rehearse with, you ppl were all off to kap for class outing. haiz.

"Class Outing" and "PW"

Note the inverted commas...

11 ppl went for class lunch yesterday -- Jeremy's PW group, Jian Hua's PW group and Hui Min. A pity we went to KAP again.. Oh well, at least the 2 ppl (Wei Zhong and Zhe Wei) who seldom join us for class outings went too :) Haha the turnout for class outings is really getting better :)

After lunch, Jeremy's grp was filming PW video.. and the rest went back to school. The welfare rep has nothing better to do and decided to follow the dictator's group. Like what Jian Hua said, since their group helped us in our video, we should help them too.. But I was not of much assistance... Only provided some ideas.

Went to JL's house after the filming. It was supposed to be a PW meeting for them but eventually it became PIANO LESSONS for Shizhi, Yuting and I. Of course, the supreme dictator is super IMBA, and Zhao Dan is very pro as well! So both of them ended up teaching us piano. And we tried to learn... From around 2pm to 7.30pm... Haha..

Anyway, the "PW meeting" or "class outing" was really fun!! Got to interact more with Shizhi and Zhao Dan. Hopefully, next time the class outing will be better and not at JL's house again. Still remember the very pathetic outing with only 4 ppl at JL's house and we played board games all the way.

All right! Jia you for OP everyone!!! Only a few more days to go...

Last Day of School :)

Ok.. I am in the mood to blog :) (multi-tasking now: got PW ppt on hand, PW online meeting, listening to F4 songs..) I ought to GET UNPLUGGED!

Anyway, turnout for today's class lunch wasnt that bad.. 7 ppl. Though it could have been 8 if ahem wanted to follow us to KAP. Haha. Oh ya, thanks for waiting for me to complete my meeting :)

It was rather interesting to note that somehow, 6 out of the 7 ppl ate fillet-o-fish burger. All except the supreme dictator, who thinks that chicken is supreme, before going on to say: actually, i prefer fish... Is langston jealous?? :p

Hopefully the turnout for future class outings will be better.. Aint really excited abt GUNS N' ROSES... Speaking of which, we HAVENT elected our FAC KING & QUEEN representatives... Can apply P and C. For the queen nominee, just 3C1. As for king nominee, xC1. (I dunno how many guys are going...)

All right, gotta work on PW now. Jia you for OP everyone! It'll be over pretty soon :)

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

HA HA HA HA HA

Actually, I think Mr. Ang did have a point. Our punctuality record stinks, and it's really mostly our fault, unsurprisingly. On the other hand, considering most of the school population was too busy daydreaming to pay attention, it's quite likely that nothing is going to happen as a result of today's dialogue.

ALSO, MRS LOH *MIGHT* CONTINUE AS OUR CT <3

Third Last Day of School :)

So.. today's the third last day of school. Everyone's talking about what H3 subjects to take. Seems like math, econs and physics are the top choices. Why no one interested in pharm chem? Anyway, I shall not think too much about H3 subjects lest I start changing my mind again...

Went high school comp lab to do PW today. Surplus of computers there :) A lot faster as well.. hee hee. Cant wait to show the class our PW video... but too bad, we cant show it to the class now cos its only 95% done... let's just watch it on 5 nov :) Groups in the afternoon session can watch it at a later time lah.. haha. Must thank all the calefares (Jeremy's PW group and Langston) for all the hard work and effort they put in :P Dont worry, all your faces can be clearly seen in the video! DK will most likely upload the video after OP as well as all the NGs.. So do keep a lookout for the videos!!

Only about 10 days left to OP. I'm supposed to get unplugged.. erm, time really flies. J1 life ending soon. Cant wait for all the upcoming class outings etc. Maybe we can have a class outing after OP on 5 nov... groups in morning session can go for lunch together, and then groups in afternoon session can join us once they finish :) Go watch movies!!!! Wednesday movies not very ex.. haha.

Then on 7 nov, before Guns N' Roses, we can have class lunch together and then play pool (since so many ppl wanna play pool). haha. Must take more photos during these outings so that we can use them for class montage next year.

All right, the very enthu welfare rep has deliriously come up with the class outings so hopefully everyone can try to go for the outings!

Enough said, shall go back to OP now :)

What a crazy day

OK, for courtesy sake, I shall not talk about PW... But since our day consists of only PW and that bloody students' forum, that's what I shall talk about...

Seriously, do any of you think that such a good way to collect feedback will be effective on us students? Especially on people who just prefer to wreak havoc during the session with all kinds of crap, thinking they're very funny?

And have you noticed (hopefully), especially people who came from the place that was once known as "THE Chinese High School", the moment someone voices out something at the mike, useful or not, constructive or not, the next few people who come up to speak will give you the feeling that they all seem to lack this certain portion in their brains called the "common sense" faculty, due to an overdevelopment of other portions such as the "complain" and "talk cock" faculty?

One more thing, do you realize that there are many among the audience that actually laugh at all these, thinking that this session is meant for jokes? Perhaps it is, not because of the nature of the session, but because of the nature of najority of the audience? Because these people are not taught when to start laughing and when to shut up? And so, I treat it as a joke, but it's not the funny type, it's the kind of exasperated, OMG-ish kind of feeling that I made a wrong choice to come into this school...

Yes yes, I seem too extreme, I think I'm aware of that, school life is hectic, I lack a lot of sleep, and by the time I can enjoy sleep, I'm too used to sleeping late that I can't sleep... But if you ignore the fact that I was the one who said all this, surely, there is indeed some sense behind all of it?

Sec 1 to sec 4... and now JC1... why are all the forums the same? Meaning, all full of rubbish? Can't people think through more carefully about whether their own words make sense before they actually say it? If you really do that, you'll find that there is not much to complain about, really. The school has really done a lot. You guys will have heard this morning. Students' Lounge, cafes, vending machines, almost anything and just about everything. Yes, demanding for more water coolers is not wrong, since the weather these days is really unbearably hot... Yes, demanding for non-leaky roofs are not wrong either... but... Others? More lounges? Vending machines? More of this, more of that. Do you really need it?

And please, stop complaining over all kinds of little things, like how GP tutors mark, how you accidentally enter the wrong toilet because you are looking at the ground and not the little black person there to see if it's wearing pants or a skirt when you walk in... It's really very irritating, isn't it? It's time for feedback, not time for complains...

Probably nothing I say here will be recognized, but oh well... maybe someday someone like a teacher will read this and... I duno, improve the situation somehow? Yea, 1 more year of forums, hopefully things will change... for the better...

DK

PS. If you can't think of what to talk about, don't go up to the mike for the sake of being famous. Just shut up. Or you will indeed become famous. Known by others, for being a nutcase/retard without knowing it yourself. Then people will ask, "How the hell did you get in here? Using money or power?"

nothing better to do

Class Tee

OMG, get it settled, please, fast, and DON'T WAIT FOR THE CT REP TO DO IT... At least declare that there will not be a class tee if there isn't going to be 1...

So, yea, as I promised, some "designs" (if they even qualify to be)... the most troublesome problem, as it may seem, can easily be solved via the simplest solutions...

The front, I give up. Cos i suck at designing. Preferably some big "08S6K" (Or "HCI08S6K" if you love the school), with a lot of puzzly stuff... cubes ranging from 2*2*2 to 11*11*11 and other stuff, you can google the pics... And the colours, be it red or yellow or white with black spots or purple or green or what i duno, someone with "authoritative power" can do it...

The back, can be simple...

Meaning, the standard, football-jersey type...

Or a bit more representative of yourself...
And obviously, if all else fails, take a leaf out of our grand-seniors' books (why a "leaf"? Clearly, ancient people who coin all these phrases aren't too smart)...
OK? Just don't mention about it, and yet do nothing... cos it makes people anxious over it, and more importantly, anxious over nothing... it's bad for the heart, and with trouble boiling at home and out of home, it's only a matter of time before an artery bursts... and you never know, it may come before A-levels...

FOS

MY TURN... and the previous post looks insulting...

Sigh... stupid festival of sports. Yea yea, "it's only a game", but try it, and let's see whether you truly feel the same way...

O well, at least we tried hard... After all, defending football requires "immense discipline"... which is probably the reason why Greece won Euro 2004... AND, the moment you leak the 1st goal, you are probably dead... which is the reason why Greece lost all 3 group games in Euro 2008... and how the hell would I know the same damn luck would befall us...

Actually we were never favoured to progress out of the group stage 1 la right, got S6G and A12... but heck, give it a try, things may turn out differently eh? And so... we started kicking balls...

O yes, before I forget, most of us ended up playing with NO soccer boots, and all of us played with NEITHER shin guards NOR high socks... so much for the rules, PE department 自己讲,自己爽...

Ok, 1st match, against super-strong S6G. O well, our team consisted of an attacking frontline made up of 100% CHINESE, and the backline were all LOCALS. And poor me, attacking defender... No wonder my legs feel so sore now... So, against a team a lot stronger than yourselves, what do you do? Yes, play like Greece. It worked... nearly. At half-time the score was 0-0 (c'mon, there's a lot to cheer for 6K in that)... then in 2nd half, this sucker just bombed the ball forward, and it curled and was very high and i-duno-what-other-adjectives-can-be-used AND... it flew past goalie Joel and into the net. SHIT. DEAD.

Lala, at least we did a bit better than 7B (sorry guys and girls)... Never mind, still got 2 more games... O YES, 2 MORE GAMES... and so, our 2nd game started in the worst possible fashion, playing with 2 men less due to *ahem* 2 fellows forgetting to come back after watching too much basketball... when they came back, we are already 1-0 down... And I forgot to add, it happened when i was forced to lead the attack... and didn't have enough evergy to run back... SO, 2 games lost, by the narrowest damn margin, and we're out of the tournament...

Never mind, 1 more game, against S60... supposedly easier sia... but still...

It all started so promisingly again... 1st half ended 0-0... defending well again...By the way this idiot, while I was backtracking to mark the guy running down the right flank, came out and bumped he out of my way... repeatedly, with his arms sticking out... i swear to GOD, if i wasn't keeping my eyes on the ball I'd have stuck a foot out and made him trip and eat artificial turf... And for that matter, might as well just kick him out of my way... That''ll show him that blocking others like this is not allowed... Anyway, he did get his rewards, falling over after Jeremy cleared the ball later... serves you right sucker...

Then it happened. I didn't defend properly again. Sickening, things ALWAYS happen the moment i forget to backtrack in time... should have just slid the ball out of play ARGH... And so, for the 3rd time, we were down 1-0... got pissed... attacked more, forgot to defend again... 2-0... damnit gone case...

Erm ya, so that pretty much sums up the day of the 6K soccer team... sorry fellow Chinese, i couldn't defend... and sorry fellow Singaporeans, i couldn't attack... We only conceded 4 goals, and yet we couldn't even secure a point... HARD LUCK...

And after that, I drank and drank and drank and drank and drank and drank... and ate and ate and ate...

Our dear PE rep was the best... I passed him the paper he printed out regarding fixtures. He took it, stood up, tore it up and threw it into the bin. Simply brilliant, Yuqun...

SIGH...

(you guys know who I am, I don't have to type it out anymore)

PS. any updates on basketball?

PPS. Remember, we won "ALL BUT 3" of our games... AND, we finished FIRST... from the bottom...

post-promo activities

hello everyone!! haha... havent posted for a very long time. no lame pics or videos in this post.

spent last few days in the boarding school for a camp. missed out on FOS as well as the JERRY YEN show :( anyway, i felt quite dumb today. the welfare rep, being very concerned about the class performance at the FOS, decided to ask the ct rep how the class did during the competition. our supreme dictator said that for soccer, the class won all matches but 3. when i saw the sms, i was extremely delighted and felt so proud of the class. but then, xinyu and others asked me how many games did 6k play... and i wondered if 6k only played 3... to my surprise/dismay, 6k soccer team indeed played 3 matches only... aiyoh.. kena tricked... sigh, should i be glad that i actually felt proud of the class for that mere 5 seconds?

really very sad that i missed jerry yen's show.. but still can watch online :) anyway, today was a rather long day for me... break camp at 5pm and still need to attend graduation ceremony rehearsal. and i only had 4 hours of sleep yesterday, or rather this morning.. hee hee, was chatting with dina, xinyu and lisa from 11pm to 2am.. crapped all the way. tiring but lotsa fun :) i dont think i can ever talk to the guys in 6k for 3 hours straight. anyone wants to prove me wrong? :p maybe we can try...during class chalet?

very busy this week.. open house, graduation ceremony etc.. no matter what, enjoy your sabbaticals ppl!!! life will be back to normal pretty soon(ie mugging, preparing for OP) ...

have fun!

here is a video we wanted to show the class for our ILP presentation, but later decided it was irrelevant:



Well, this is another video that I dedicate to Jia Jun, Sean and Yi Sheng. Lol this should be the standard we're aiming for!

Anger management

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it.
A man answered, saying,
Hello.
I politely said,
This is Jason Braemore. Could I please speak with Rachel Carter?
Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me - I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.

I tracked down Rachel's correct number and called her - I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again…

When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled,
You're a scumbag! and hung up.

I wrote his number down with the word 'scumbag' next to it, and put it on my speed dial. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell,
You're a scumbag! It always cheered me up!

When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'scumbag' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said,
Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with the Caller ID program?
He yelled,
NO! and slammed the phone down.
I quickly called him back and said,
That's because you're a scumbag!

One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a
For Sale sign in his car window… so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first scumbag, I thought I had better call the BMW scumbag too.
I said,
Is this the man with the black BWM for sale ?
Yes, it is.
Can you tell me where I can see it?
Yes, I live at 1969 West 35th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front.
What's your name? I asked.
My name is Don Hanson, he said.
When's a good time to catch you, Don?
I'm home every evening after five.
Listen, Don, can I tell you something?
Yes?
Don, you're a scumbag.
Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial. Now, when I had a problem, I had two scumbags to call…

But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea. I called Scumbag #1…
Hello.
You're a scumbag! (But I didn't hang up…)
Are you still there? he asked.
Yeah, I said.
Stop calling me, he screamed.
Make me, I said.
Who are you? he asked.
My name is Don Hanson.
Yeah? Where do you live?
Scumbag, I live at 1969 West 35th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front.
He said,
I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers.
I said,
Yeah, like I'm really scared, scumbag.
Then I called Scumbag #2.
Hello? he said.
Hello, scumbag, I said.
He yelled,
If I ever find out who you are, I'll…
You'll what? I said.
I'll kick your ass, he exclaimed.
I answered,
Well, scumbag, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now.

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 1969 West 35th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.

Then I called CKVU Channel 13 News about the gang war going down on West 35th Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to 35th Street.

There I saw two scumbags beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and news crew.

Now I feel a lot better…
