Dance in joy

Gosh. spent 4 hours watching wisely dur the weekend. tskk. i need to like start mugging sats. ): but its quite funny lahh, esp how baoyu and honghong quarrel. :P its really interesting to watch the serial esp aft u hav read the stories. at least u wont be so anxious to find out how it all ends - u know the ending alr. though they really changed the storyline quite a bit. for instance, qiwei dint die, and bai su and wisely got married aft the first adventure.

and i thk the char chosen to act wisely is really inappropriate. i rmb watching a wisely movie on lan xue ren (blue blooded ppl) and the wisely was so much cooler and more wisely like. and this bai su wasnt as chio as the bai su in lan xue ren. in lan xue ren, it was shu qi who starred as bai su.

enuff of wisely rants. anw, was chatting with josie on our term and all the welfare projs (8 in total!) which we held is a remarkable feat to be proud of! at last, we managed to survive every single of the 8 projects amidst all our school work and function planning. the success of every project is really rewarding, and i really hope the 26ths can carry on our good work. jiayou! (:

finally, feeling really random, i shall give some recommendations for new cpop songs, together with excerpt of the lyrics and my rating of the song)

The 99 club

Just read this meaningful story and thought it would be nice to share to all u people who have been overworking. Remember that u too can also lead a happy life! (:


Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.

One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy in his heart?

The King asked the servant, “Why are you so happy?” The man replied, “Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don’t need too much – just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.”

Later in the day, the King sought the advice of his most trusted advisor. After hearing the King’s woes and the servant’s story, the advisor said, “Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club.”

“The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?” the King inquired. The advisor replied, “Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this
servant’s doorstep.”

When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy… so many gold coins!

He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins. He wondered, “What could’ve happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!” He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive.

Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection. From that day, the servant’s life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.

Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor’s help, the advisor said, “Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.”

He continued, “The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they’re always yearning and striving for that extra 1 to round it out to 100!

We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we’re given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires. That’s what joining The 99 Club is all about.”

Destress detox delight

went for the destress civics elective and we learnt how to message todayy. haha. got messaged by yowie. its really quite shiok, haha. and aft that was trying out on some of my classmates. :P i hope i can properly destress after the 4 weeks' sessions lahh. life's like totally crazy now.

misjudgement

fell asleep at 9 yesterday and refused to get up despite my mum's numerous attempts, so i dint blog yesterday. anyway was real sleeeeeepie yesterday particularly coz i havent managed to catch up with the lost hours of sleep during the camp. haha. i got punished dur math S and had some words written on my arm, and those words took numerous scrubbings to get rid of. tskkk.

todayy kenneth and i were discussing about our life for the next 2 weeks which would basically be totally crazy. harmonix is drawing near and we have like close to 20 hrs of pract a week (spread over 4 sessions). and we both have SATs coming up, which is like BEFORE harmonix. not to mention ive been missing mathssoc olympiad trainings which i really want to go for. missed fermat's coz of match support. ): speaking of match support, yeahh. theres still several matches coming up. so life is like totally insane, i just hope to pull thru these 2 weeks. aft that life will be nice and slack! (:

2 weeks. i hope i have all the strength to survive it. (:

anw, today afternoon i went back with lian and matt and as expected it started raining coz we were jinxed. *cough* being nice + i figured that the rain wouldnt get heavier, i decided to lend lian my umbrella coz he had to go and buy stuff, and he cursed me saying that the rain will get heavier, and it really started pouring when i reached my bus stop which was only 2 stops away, so i got really really wet. tskk lahh. hao xin mei hao bao. ):

Council Camp

d Yay! The 3 day long council camp finally ended. It was really fun organising the camp, and getting to know the 26ths (especially my buddies) throughout the camp.

On fri aft, we had rugby match support and they owned SAJC 13-7. everyone's voices were quite dead after match support. we then headed over to have our dinner while the 26ths had their bags checked. they then went into the indoor gym to play some team games before going to sleep. was prepping buddy gifts that night and playing music in the council room before finally knocking out on the council room sofa.

next morning, woke up shivering coz it was like sooo cold. had a bad stomachache attack and after that the whole of the OPs room (even mrs chia) knew about my stomachache. haha. the final attack was so bad i took 6 flushes to flush everything down the toilet bowl. aft that was the much awaited 4 hour break for us. was catching up with my sleep, and then had lunch and aft that went to cover more clocks around the school with amanda. and the jap stall auntie's kids kept tagging along with her and she cldnt shake them off, haha. following that was lots of intensive activities to keep the new elects sufficiently challenged both mentally and physically.

later at night, chinghui and i decided to go and bathe and according to senthil he saw us coming in just when he was running out of the toilet and he dint warn us lahh. apparently, there was this cubicle which i used on day 1. and its now locked. and theres noone inside. chinghui and i were quite freaked but then since there were 2 of us it wasnt that bad. but neither of us dared to take a peep at the toilet. *shudders* went off to sleep and was woken up by shuyan early the next morning for the final activity. she was like the ultimate alarm clock lahh. everyone in the council room got awakened by her. u r damn good if u dun get woken up by her. and so, in a flash, the whole of council camp ended. personally, i feel that organising the camp was equally meaningful as being a participant.

aft that sammy came and a few of us had buddy lunch together at prata house where i got to satisfy my milo dinosaur craving! (: oh yeahh forgot to mention something suay happened to me. while the j1s had debrief a few of us went council room to nap. i slept on the council room table and when i woke up i found out that i cldnt turn my neck anymore lahh. it was really funny and frustrating at the same time. and amy kept tapping me at the back coz she found out i had to turn my whole body to find out who tapped me. tskk.

last but not least, i hope my buddies brian and weilin have rested well! (: so proud of u guys for pulling thru council camp! take care!

Council camp ahead!

i wont be around this weekend coz ill be away on council camp! i guess it is a good time to let myself settle from all the crazy things that happened this week, get over the problems, and come back next week, recharged! (: really need this break, though once i come back i have to chiong all the undone tutorials, but still, it forces me to really really just have some free time to myself, to rest and to think. (:

and my buddy sammy just called and we chatted for very long over the phone. haha. hes in OCS (omg) and apparently hes in the same block as many councillors. wonders who ill be meeting next year. but i dont want to go to OCS. that will be like ggxx for me. haha. oh yeahh, sammy still sounds as blur as ever. :P

cant wait for council camp! here i come~

Fishie and cute bears

Skipped PE again coz of my leg, but its recovering le, so thats good. glad that i skipped PE coz i had time to register for my civics module. found out to my horror that all the popular choices were all gone! ): ): ): thankfully as i was probably the only one on the site then (first lesson), the site was super fast, but dur our break it suddenly became super laggy and there was a mad rush to register for the civics module. signed up for mrs chia's destress, detox and delight coz i thought it wld be good for me to go relax abit. (:

haha... everyone say hi to my latest bear addition... meiji! (: meiji is this sweet bear that loves making people fat. realised that meiji actually looks like the RIPB bear i had. many points of similarity lahh, dun u agree? (btw meiji is the bear on the left)

Buddy Gift Shopping

Whee. went buddy gift shopping todayy! (: first went to buy my buddies some sugary sweeties for council camp! then shopped around for gifts during our first buddy meeting, which would be tomorrow! *gets excited*

finally settled on this cool metal photo frame! just in case u dint know, i love minimalistic stuff, so compared to photoframes with thick sides, i thk a metal photo frame is just plain cool. hope we'll have lotsa wonderful memories to put in the frame! (: oh btw the metal photo frame has 2 little chicks not without a reason. haha. chicken little here is the big chick and the other chick will be chicken little jr! (: mebbe my buddies can continue the chicken little line! :P



got our buddy book and post camp prezzies but just to keep it a surprise i shant post them here yet! (: really really really looking forward to seeing my buddies, and congrats to the 88 (if i counted correctly) new councillors who have made it into the 26th students council! (: this means that each councillor will be getting an average of 1.7 buddies! i rmbed commenting that to gautam, before chinghui and i locked him up. :P

Apologies

im rly sorry about it all. so sorry to make u cry. but im glad its all over.

Mixed Feelings

Ballotting Day

Haha... finally ballotting day todayy! (: very soon we'll know who our buddies are! wheeee! Left chem lect halfway todayy to report for the ballotting @ the comp lab. was super sian inside there and decided to dl some JJ songs and play in the lab. :P

aft sch had first aid course and was used as a specimen, as promised. -__-" eew. amputation looks gross. i thk i shld be happy enuff that mine's just an abrasion! (:

The end is near

went back to school for council meeting + council camp dry run. i realised our term is ending really soon. all the slogging we had done, all the things we have achieved. we have indeed come a long way, and ill save reflections till investiture. (:

hehhs. i rmb during our 25A dinner viz asked me: so what do u do now that you have no games proposals to update? and chinghui's reply was: he lost all his meaning in life. it was funny at that point in time, but i realised it might be truer than i thought it was. i guess in my council term ive been really very focussed with the tasks im given, to the extent of sometimes neglecting my friends, my classmates. and even when im working with other councillors, i tend to do as much as i can myself, and in so doing, lose out on opportunities to get to know my fellow councillors. in fact, my interactions with most of the councillors are on a work-basis more than a friend-basis. and now its all ending, all the stuff ive been working for have come to a closure. ive done the tasks which i had been given well, but at what cost? i really regret how ive executed the tasks which i had been given during my term, but theres no turning back already.

went thru lots of stuff during council camp dry run and council gm. cant wait to get our new shirts! and hopefully ill rmb the whole of council oath by council camp so we will not screw up in front of the 26ths. (: jiayou everyone who's trying to memorise it by heart. we did it last yr - we can do it again! (:

Do Solemnly Promise

argh. feeling super vexed. attempted to do a sudoku, but realised either i lost all my sudoku solving skills, or i was in no mood to solve it. bleahh. and 933 is playing all the depressing songs too. ): hehhs. my table is all a disaster of half-dones. half done sudoku. half done tutorial. half read book. half mugged oath. :/

Will the sun rise tomorrow?

just saw my bros philo qn. "What justifies us in believes that the sun will rise tomorrow?" roughly looked thru his paper and he argued it thru inductions and deductions. hmm... haha. looks like RI teachers like to set questions relating to the sun. before this he got a question: why does the sun rise from the east?

anw, updates on my leg. the pus and all have started to harden and now my leg feels useless coz i have to use my hand to push it before it can bend. rly. it cant bend on its own. argh. and when i bend it yellow stuff flows out. eeugh. im officially disgusted, and its rly frustrating to have to use my hand to move my leg. it feels as though im disabled or sthg. ): sometimes, i wonder how i managed to run that 6 rounds. this small feat still amazes me alot up till now.

The Pain Isn't Real

we learnt during gp today that everything that we can perceive using our senses are not real. the only thing that we are certain of is the uncertainty and the intangible. so everything around us is false. haha. philo is so abstract.

the wound was more a bother than i expected. pfft. everytime i bent my knee i had to do it in slow mo. and just now on my way back, i could not dash across the traffic light even though i had 12 whole seconds. (i usually can beat the light at 4 seconds) or rather, i knew i would not be able to make it and so, for safety purposes, i did not attempt to hobble across.

speaking of hobbling, yeahh, i have to hobble around school. how irritating is that. esp with so many stairs in school. i usually skip like 3 steps when i walk, now i have to walk 1 step at a time! arghh. i just hope my wound heals faster lehh. it is inconveniencing me more than i expected. (not to mention i feel so unglam)

thats not the worst. i now have difficulty putting on my socks and shoes, and putting on my pants. and heres the worst bit: i could not eat my fav sotong and prawns just now coz my parents say it would leave a scar on the wound after it heals. so i had to 眼睁睁 watch the prawns get finished, right in front of my eyes.

): the wound sucks. grrr.

thanx anw to limin who helped me get melolin which was much better than gauze. for one, it was not as painful (and i dint have to rip out skin) while removing the cover.

and to sweetiesheenie, even though u were so naughty during physics S lecture, i hope your stomach pains dun come back again! get well! (:

Suay Day

Suay day todayy. haha. napfa went well for me until the run. at the start line, after the whistle was sounded, someone pushed me down and i fell on the track lahh. at that point in time i just knew it was a stinging pain but i attempted to finish my 6 rounds coz even if i fall out ill have to retake anyway.

so i attempted the run and i got an E. yikes. which means i have to retake. arghh. and thats not the best part. after the run it was the first time i saw my wound. omg. it was a super big wound lahh and it was bleeding quite badly. mr seah alcohol wiped the wound (which he claims to be shiok) and then put antiseptic.

aft that headed for match support. coz we took napfa, we missed the bus and had to cab down to CCAB. cabbed with koo and there wasnt a single taxi in sight and we had to walk all the way down to j8 before we managed to catch one. luckily we heard about the jam at braddell and asked the taxi to avoid that route, or else we will be stuck in a ggxx jam. oh just a random fact. a couple was like having a private date or sthg on the pretext of match support. tskk. skip sch alr, still dun come and support the sch. naughty naughty.

we finally reached CCAB for the polo match support. sighh. we missed the gold by 1 goal. the polo team members were all very sad lahh. its no wonder, coz we could have broken a record. argh. and so the championship title was lost to HCI. and we had to face the same sch @ softball in the afternoon. and the same councillors from HCI too. argh. but during softball match support it was quite hot and for some reason my wound hurt alot. ): and pus is still flowing and flowing and flowing... if onli i can put a plug for the pus to stop flowing. oh dearyyy.

thanx to wes for helping me clean my wound todayy, though the iodine was ever shioker than the alcohol wipe and of coz when i got back, my mums medicine was the shiokest. i jumped for that one. and thanx to all those who supplied me an endless supply of tissue. (:

25A Comm Dinner @ Marche

Regular dose of screenies

Haha. now that blog's back in action, my screenie habit is back in action!

Poor Little Fishie

Grandeur

Fishie Tootsie

haha. shall start the month with some ego stroking entry as promised so my blog will be more loved than hated. :P forgot to mention about sheen's incredible achievement of getting 45/50 for a gp essay! too bad its practice not the actual ct huh, but im still suitably impressed. maybe u just need to keep up with this good work and mebbe next week ull get this pleasant surprise for your gp essay. hehhs. u know, i havent gotten a gp essay higher than 36/50. maybe becoz she has a better command of the language. mebbe thats whyy she can come up with such creative and interesting names. NCFT. tskk. wheres the angel and nice? -pokes- happy le mahh? one para of ego stroking.

anw this morning was raffles trail briefing for the participants. wes, viz and i were very happy coz it went super well and we were super efficient. maybe thats what u get when u put fmaths students to run the show. managed to brief the participants and got them all excited. plus there are now new prizes! first is still ipod video, but second's a nano now. and third's canon powershot. fourths the palm and fifth and sixth are crumpler bags. thats what u get when u have rich people feeding u with the prize budget. really rich people im talking about.

aft that went to put up the mega banner with mr koh, wes and viz. the banner is damn fricking nice, except for the sponsor logos. anw ull be able to catch a glimpse of it on the parade square if the whole tentage and all isnt set up by mon. its just chio lahh, but it was a terror to hang up such a heavy banner, and we rly hope it holds till the end of next week. the worst thing that can happen is pm making his speech and the banner crashing beside him. then we were all like sticking our fingers thru the holes of the pac metal grill trying to tie down the banner to the holes and it was one of the few times i complained that i had large fingers. mr koh was complaining too. i thk our fingers were jammed a few times, hehhs. but it was one of the few times i enjoyed putting up a banner. aft tt was council camp briefing. ended quite late though, but the itinerary looks gr8! (:

yayy! 1 more week to go! (: psyche up~
