Invest 06! (:
thurs nite was the night before invest. technically called final night but we had final night on tues, so i guess its called final final night? haha. we had our last technical rehearsal, and had the same meaningful activity at the field, where the 25ths passed on the flame from the candle to their buddies'. then, dar brought out the tray of paper which we had written our regrets on prior to the event. he then poured kero on the "regrets" and set fire on our regrets. which was quite sad, really, coz "regrets" dont really disappear when u burn them. just like how there will be ashes after we burn those papers, if u understand what i mean.
aft that, i decided to sit at the specs gal steps to reflect about my council term. its a really quiet and nice spot, and u get to admire the beautiful stars in the sky and how beautiful the school is at night. sadly, it was quite a starless night. and also, it would probably be one of the few times i will be staying so late at night in school. wanted to enjoy the moment while thinking about my council term, but dad called saying hes fetching me back, so had to go back.
the next day, woke up insanely early to get final briefing on invest. haha. invest turned out quite well - the GOH kept her speech short and sweer, and the 26ths dance item was rather impressive! after that everyone was immersed in an atmosphere of photo-taking. (: gave me buddies each a flower which some 26th thought it was the chrysanthemum and claimed it was for dead people. please lohh. -__-" the teachers also baked 25th cakes for us, though i dint get to eat it. here r the pics which i had taken thruout the course of yest! (:

me and the all rounded loser. thanx for ur note which i owned u at guessing the hangman, and thanx for the wire-ing my name (below)!


photos with buddies weilin and brian in our very own welfare room!

thanx to sheenie and kai for posing for this photo!

*drumrolls* UNGLAM photo of lizhan! this would not have been possible if not for my pro photo taking skills!

the 25ths cake!
aft that went for match support - bball girls finals! it was a very close match at the start (scores were within 3 points from each other for the first 3 quarters) but eventually we fought harder and harder and we managed to clinch the gold! well done raffles for bringing back the gold!
then took a bus back to sch and met sheenie. was nice enough to walk her to the bus stop, and met est and matt aft that, and they dint believe i went for the match support. tsk, what rubbish. went back to council room and we started banging tables rhythmatically so if u stopped by the council room then u would be thinking that the councillors went crazy. time passed quite slowly as we awaited for our dinner, but luckily met sinyong who pulled an impressive trick. (:
chatted with weilin and realised that the jap teacher was still CMI as usual. but shes good at jap. really good. so better not ban men nong fu in front of her, heehee. (: then jonny came along and started snapping photos of weilin and later changed target to me, and then he snapped some buddy photos of the 2 of us too. hehhs. then went to challenge chinghui and jonny to carrom and lost both games. ):
our pizzas arrived aft that and we had dinner thanx to josie and charles for coordinating! (: yummy pizzas! have been missing hawaiian pizzas, they are like my fave. finally got to eat them again! was supposed to have dinner at the parade square but we ended up eating at the council room coz we were lazy to move plus u cld have dinner under the stars at council room area anw. again, another starless night. haha. wonder why am i so crazy over watching stars nowadays?
aft dinner, we decided to play EXCO concentration with forfeit. we would have to do a forfeit if we made 3 screwups. haha. when we introduced that rule, yowie had 2 screwups and when we started the next round, he suddenly screwed up right at the start of the game probably so he can do a forfeit ;) cunning right? haha. other ppl who had to do forfeits included cedric, nat and honloong. basically the forfeits got more and more evil and we promised to keep it to ourselves so i shant say what dares they did, but they were quite embarrassing and bed, and it involves using a speaker phone. haha. hope we can play another round of EXCO concentration one day, but without forfeits! (:
it got quite late and i decided to go home. walked home with weilin and chloe and was deciding whether or not to go home on bus but was too lazy and bus-sed home aft i left them at j8. reached home feeling very high coz our duties are finally over (well almost, until i just received a mail from josie just now regarding welfare debrief next monday.) looking forward to the 2 treats by mrs chia and ms ong next week! yepp yepp! bounces around happily.

Final Night + Rugby Finals
had napfa retest yesterday! scored ABBCCD, so i got my silver and i am exempted from 2 extra months of NS! rahh. come to thk of it i can get gold, if i dint walk one whole round on round 5. but i was totally not motivated to run so yeahh. :/
aft that went council room area and stoned and talked to the all rounded loser who wanted me to sing to her. treated me like a jukebox lahh. the songs she dint like she will say: next! sang 安静 which is like a super nice jay song. (:
只剩下钢琴陪我谈了一天
睡着的大提琴安静的旧旧的
我想你已表现的非常明白
我懂我也知道你没有舍不得
你说你也会难过我不相信
牵着你陪着我也只是曾经
希望他是真的比我还要爱你
我才会逼自己离开
你要我说多难堪我根本不想分开
为什么还要我用微笑来带过
我没有这种天份包容你也接受他
不用担心的太多我会一直好好过
你已经远远离开我也会慢慢走开
为什么我连分开都迁就着你
我真的没有天份安静的没这么快
我会学着放弃你是因为我太爱你
haha. somehow i have an intense feeling of sadness when i sing this and 搁浅. after that, had an unhealthy dinner of instant noodles and then played carrom with chinghui and he must be really off form coz i actually managed to win him once. aft that we started challenging each other to naming phy equations, haha. many ppl werent amused.
aft that was our final night, which was full of thanks. and then we had to write down our regrets for our council term, before everyone got into the awww mood and started thanking everyone else and exchanged hugs. reached home real late and mum insisted that she should cook a meal for me so i waited for her to cook and then by the time i finished bathing and eating it was 1. and i slept at 2.
dying from lack of sleep. and tmr will be another late night! i think i shld just forget about sch work this week and try to catch up next week. sleepie yawn.
today we got our batch sweaters. my, was it chaotic! haha and aft that we had soccer for pe and was reminded by my pe teacher that he reads my blog. so if mr shah is here again, *waves*. aft that had a phy test. tho it turned out to be open book coz *cough* yeahh he had to go for rugby but then i still dint understand anything abt EM and EMI (i dint do the tuts STILL) and so i dunno how well ill do.
aft that went to help kangya with making boards for senthil, just and ilman. hehhs. guess my art and craft career had not ended still! then the bus arrived and i slept all my way there. anyway, we fought hard for the match but we still lost the gold. it was really sad to see the ruggers crying. who would expect a try to be scored in the last 3 min of the match? ): and we lost hockey girls, and it was yet another close match again. we lost by a penalty kick. -_-"
hehhs. just hope this whole week will be over soon. but i wonder how i will really feel when it all ends. junli was telling me that she felt like she has just broken up. i dont think ill feel that sad, but it just feels weird that im not busy for once! ponders about how life will be like but dozes off to sleep.
zzzzzzzz...

Time bomb
just had a gruelling session of chem makeup lect on group ii elements. and going for napfa retest later. haha. the 95% confidence interval for my running time must have a really large width. i really dont want to screw up again, but sighh. listening to my mp3 and zhaoyan had kindly let me blog b4 i go for my run. oh yeahh, and hes amused that my gmail interface is japanese.
anw, lots of thoughts have been going thru my mind right now, and it certainly doesnt help that:
1) theres just so little time and i go back so late everyday
2) im lagging behind badly for physics. AND theres a phy class test tmr. AND he koped our civics for it. like seriously. ITTAI. (a new word which i taught est today)
3) those crazy gamers are screaming and shouting like the end of the world in the comp lab.
yeahh. sometimes, i dont know whether i should give up or not, but i dont see any sign or clue. things are just running weirdly. i dont even know whether they are the same anymore. and when you cant even be sure of your the current status of the problem, or if it even exists, how do you go about solving it? haha. when everything's shifting, what matters.
kangya, im sorry for wasting your time talking to me. i guess my head was too thick for you to drive anything constructive through. but to some extent, it does help. sometimes, i just want to give up. but i realise that i would not only have to say sorry to myself, but also to you and all the other people who are always there for me.
i rmb junli asking me why i always look so happy even though i am stressed. many ppl also commented that i am like the most positive person in the world. and now ill tell all of you, its because of you people that im staying positive. and thats how i stay hopeful.
i guess i can describe my current situation as a time bomb. either i solve the problem by deactivating it and live happily ever after, or i run out of time and the time bomb explodes. and everything just comes to an end. and the time is ticking...
playing kelly's 计时炸弹 now.

Love Story
haha. sorry to disappoint all of u who thought there would be a love story in this entry. this is 范逸臣's new song - love story. love it loads.
爱的故事有很多
你一定听过
他们说
最美的爱情像湖泊
美得忍不住停留
而任性的风
吹过了
却飘下一片片叶落
放开手往北方走
留下伤心的树独自忍受
你离开我连一句话都不说
只默默看着今晚天空星光闪烁
看今夜的流星
划过了天际
笑我的心
我无法再冷静
请你要倾听
你是我的唯一
我不愿去相信
我们之间
隔着海洋的距离
我的爱
已融化在空气里
P.S. to kai, your longhubang guess was CORRECT! omg. u shld hav guessed it lahh. $80 lehh. :/

Welfairies unite
i thot my career in arts and crafts would have ended with 25th anniversary, but apparently, i was wrong. todayy, i went to school to make mrs chia's bday prezzie - a life size welfairy and a picture book of shoes (haha, in case u dint know, she's crazy over shoes :P)
hehhs. right from the start when wes described the steps to do the welfairy, i knew it was going to be insanely crazy to make. true enough, we faced lots of probs while making it and at some point or other we would be complaining, lyk how difficult it is to create a model out of wire, how the double sided tape sucks etc. and when i get bored, i start making lame comments. heres the WORST joke of the day: hello, is that a halo?
luckily i brought my cam so u all can get to see the process of making a welfairy! unfortunately i dint set the date correctly so the timestamp is wrong. ):

after much hard work, we created a wire sphere, which is the head of the welfairy. though it looked a little deformed... :P

a wire frame of the skirt!

denise arrives and at last we have a girl to help a bunch of guys with craftwork! i swear guys suck at crafts! anw, shes wrapping up the head of the welfairy now...

wes introduces triangulation to stabilise the skirt framework!

a wing of the welfairy done by me!!! A GUY DID THIS!

the skirt is up, with a beautiful ribbon! now the welfairy begins to take shape...

how can fairies not have wands! we created a star shaped wand for the fairy, and denise doesnt seem pleased in this photo for obvious reasons. :P

the welfairy, with eyes, mouth and a veil.

me and the almost-done welfairy (without wings and hands)
yeahh, unfortunately it was alr 7ish and i had to go baq, so i wasnt there when the whole welfairy was completed, but as u can see, it was real hard work, esp since we had mostly guys working on this. once again, GUYS CANT DO CRAFTS! ):
oh yeahh, heres some of the shoes we r giving mrs chia, though we speculated that she would prolly point to the pics in the book and go: ooh, i have this! oh! i have that!

haha. and here are 2 failed attempts to create the word WELFARE! there were more failed attempts, but denise was so sad that she dint want to pose anymore. :P


other things that happened todayy: ccad had their structure building session, where they learnt how to tie knots and build structures. since ccad is so trivial compared to welfare, plus the all rounded loser comes from ccad, ccad only deserves one photo. =p

and then later, chinghui said he saw a dead bird and we decided to take a picture of the murder scene as incriminating evidence. ;) but in view of the wisely show i watched today, maybe it wasnt so good an idea to check out the dead bird. (:

i must say that making the prezzie has been real fun, though i sincerely hope this spells the end of my art and craft career in RJC. :P

Weird dream
yayy! public holiday todayy! slept late coz i dint sleep well last night. woke up from a dream, which felt very real, although the dream was just plain crazy. the dream is so real that i can still remember all the details of the dream now. mebbe i shld post it and if some pro dream interpreters can tell me what it means! ;)
basically in the dream, i was with a friend. i just know that its a very close friend, but somehow i just dont know who he/she is. in the dream i just know him/her as a close friend. yeahh. haha. now the crazy part begins. we were attacked by a huge bear, right outside AMK library. i can rmb that place very distinctly even though its at least a year since i visited that place (i now switch to visiting marine parade lib).
in the dream, i owned a car lahh, but then the bear was attacking us right outside my car, so we couldnt get in and escape. i was trying to run from the bear but got knocked down and slashed by the bear. my friend was trying to help me and the bear turned to him/her instead. i then took the opportunity to chiong into the car, and then my friend quickly hopped in too. however, the bear was very smart and held on to the boot of the car, so i was desperately pressing on the accelerator and make the car chiong as fast as possible, but it was moving very slowly coz it was dragged back by the bear. it sounds weird, but i actually thought of motion under variable forces at this moment (driving force minus the drag force introduced by the bear).
back to the story. yeahh, so i was driving my car, dragging a huge bear behind me. as i got onto a road, i saw a truck nearby and drove my car to collide with the truck sideways so the bear got whacked and thrown off a distance. i took this opportunity to drive full speed but the bear recovered very quickly and was hot in pursuit for my car.
after driving at full speed (and aimlessly) for a long time, my friend pointed out that we already lost the bear. but we were at some place which we dint know. my friend recognised his/her friend's house nearby and he/she suggested that we should go there to take a breather. i was quite paranoid that the bear was still around somewhere so i asked my friend to go fast and ill catch up with him/her. so i was surveilling the place, checking out for possible traces for the bear when suddenly the bear appeared again. i quickly dashed for my car, and was about to drive off when the bear smashed the glass window of the car and slashed me and at this point, i woke up with a jolt.
haha. couldnt go back to sleep after that. i remember my heart was beating very quickly and my whole shirt was drenched in sweat, so it must have been a really terrible dream. anw, i find it weird that i can remember the details of the whole adventure but cant rmb who my "friend" was, and also the gender of my friend. cool dream huhh. :P
oh yeahh, jolin's 舞娘 album is out today! i sampled all the songs. got alot of slow songs in this album, which isnt jolin's forte, so the album on the whole is disappointing. 舞娘's great though. and im now addicted to a rock song in her album entitled: Mr. Q. what a cute name rightt. overall i give the album a 6.5/10, coz all the slow songs arent very impressive.

boingboing.
Haha. dint blog for the past few days coz i was bz prepping for my concert but at last its over! was still a little tired todayy, but generally quite happy coz concerts over, so its a happy sort of tired, not the dreary sort. :P
yeahh. our concert was a success, ending with a spectacular piece - carmen (my personal fave) and of coz the encore piece, tong hua, was a nice song too. the makeup part wasnt so good thoughh, i had to hairspray my hair and keep it spiked, and i am very sure it spoilt my hair lahh. now it feels waterproof. im serious!
anw, the last few days had not been easy. late night preps, lack of sleep and all. if not for u ppl, i wld not have survived those dreary moments, so heres some word of thanks! really, u ppl make me feel that there are people who care for me even though i feel that at times, i dont really have many close friends to turn to.
kangya! thanx for talking to me at the expense of your chem retest! u r great! (:
est aka MORTAL for boingboing! (: haha. now i feel old coz i own the great grandpa of a series of boingboings? its so cuuute that i dont want to bully it lahh. the eyes alone are cute enuff lahh. thanks for being there for me, even though half the time (or is it 80% of the time?) i keep stuff to myself. haha, mortals cant understand angels' problems.
lian for supporting my concert too, even though i dint support ur performance! and for all the weird and funny comments (and glances) u give. (:
matt for coming down to support my concert, though i suspect u came down coz of kenneth. haha. shant be so bad. yeahh. thanx loads for bringing your camera, without which i really would not have any pictures to keep of such a great concert, and i wont be able to see myself with that disgusting hair coz im def not going to get any icky stuff on my hair ever again.
grace, zhaowei and all those who came down to support harmonix 9! hope u all enjoyed urselves! (:
kenneth for his encouragement even though there were times i felt i would just screw up the piece and embarrass myself.
honloong for feeding me with nice food after seeing the sucky packaged food which the harmockers get for their dinner. and for giving me encouragement and letting me amuse myself for not telling u the answer of a p n c question! (but u solved it anyway!) (:
nat for the nice note and gift!
last but not least, sheenie for not going for my concert! nahh, joking. (: haha. thanks for attempting to make me a bimbo, though im not! thanx for the encouragement u gave, and for so quickly sensing when im alright and when im not. i guess i really cant hide from u lahh, though i wonder how u guessed.
oh yeahh, i guess i must sorta have a disclaimer, haha. if i forgot to mention any of u, im really sorry about that! (: do tell me and ill add an entry for u! (:
wheeee~ so im officially hyper now. haha. shall talk abit abt todayy.
firstly, i self-jacked myself in the lift thanx to the all-rounded loser. ): omgg lahh, just because i own her at hangman, that sore loserrrr.
we dint have gp so math was brought forward and we were dismissed early though we had a gp question to discuss. i was in lian and est's group, so we went lib to discuss. it was supposed to be a 5 min discussion, but we were just stoned and all so in the end lian and i ended up feeding est with random jap words. but she's good. she's picking up lots of jap phrases, which surprises me, like how she knows baka. haha. and inu for dog. (:
oh yeah, and she can rmb the jap writing lohh, like how she quickly spotted the word "hai" which she unfortunately thot was a bad word and kept calling me "hai". heres how she thought that it was a bad word. coz i was telling lian that est is a baka and lian replied with a "hai" and so she thought that "hai" was another bad word. hehhs. actually, "hai" means yes in japanese. (:
yeahh. so that was how we slacked and dint get much work done. but it was still completed in the end lahh, we r responsible ppl. (: then went for mathssoc where we learnt pigeonhole principle. i love combinatorics! (:

Uncharted grounds
haha. stayed up to watch the general elections last nite. must say that the opposition is really strong this time, and aljunied was like such a close fight lahh. the whole thing ended really late so i slept late and woke up late todayy, but no big deal coz japan hr did not show today anw. hehhs. i thk im really addicted to the jap hr food liao. addicted as in addicted to seeing the oishi food. (: maybe i shld go baq to visit my host family some day @ fukuoka, and shun bian try out all the food + impress them with my new jap skills. (:
oh yeahh. charts today was quite expected, so it came as a surprise why no one managed to guess the top 3. my guess was correct la, just that i dint sms it. if not ill be like $50 richer. congrats to jj 's sarang hae yo 只对你说 for finally making it to the top! acherli i like li hom's 大城小爱 too, so whichever was first wouldnt have mattered!

搁浅
yayy! sats ended today! haha. mebbe its fate or its just my suayness but i got assigned to acjc again. haha. see? my choice is limited by circumstances (hehhs, if u took the sats paper u wld know what i mean) oh yeahh, and did i mention, kamel's invigilating at acjc again. saw him twice le. i was stumped on the critical reading sections again and i conclude that reading is my eternal weakness. ):
now that sats is over, i have harmonix left then... life will be better? (:
oh yeahh. one weird occurence happened to me on fri. i was flipping thru my tutorial, and then i saw this weird compound drawn in my tutorial, beside my own solution. what was freaky was that the compound ALMOST fit all the conditions of the question!
the question was 5b of the tutorial, where we r supposed to identify compound B, C6H10O2, which has singlets with an area ratio of 2:3. anw, the compound that i found drawn in my tutorial is this:
it fits the question right! ratio 2 (the 4 on top) to 3 (the 6 below). just that the question also stated that the relative integral is from
left to right, so thats the only condition it dint fit. but its still very freaky nonetheless.
and if u r observant enough, u mite have noticed that it looks like a friendly alien? plus it has hands sticking out, waving at me. so friendly rightt! *waves back* yeahh. now the mystery is to figure out
who drew it on my tut.

只是爱你也难 恨你也难
haha. was quite dead today. slept dur lects and skipped half of phy S. cant wait for this sat to be over. at least one burden will be off. hehhs. and when im half-dead, my resistance is low, which prolly explains how i got my hand vandalised by est. ): just u wait when i get livelier.
phys pract was exciting for once, with the prospect of burning copper wires, generating sparks and burning your hand. of coz, the boring phy pract worksheet would never have allowed that, but well, we are THINKERS, LEADERS and most importantly, PIONEERS, so we should always be willing to try out new stuff.

whee. 2 days more!

Just looked at my timetable for the first 2 weeks of may. i must say its really really really really insane! ): Today is probably the last slack day i have until next wed. the next few days will be intensive pract up till 9ish. which means, since i havent started mugging sats, i have zilch time left. i thk im just going to collapse and die on wed aft the concert, but even if i die then, ill die in pure joy. (:
我要快乐我要能睡的安稳
ive rushed a bit of tuts, hope its enuff to last me for the 2 weeks. but i dint touch phy at all. for some reason, phy and phy s just puts me off now. haha. like ive tons more interest for chem than for phy now, and it used to be the opposite at the start of last year? oh yes. not to forget theres AL FRESCO on wed. hope everything goes well and that evryone will have a nice time eating!
