Heyyyloe evehreebohdee. =D
Really sorry k, to all my dear wonderful readers. Hee hee. But you see I've had quite a time from the last time I made myself sit down and type. Haha..
Funny, RC doesn't seem to be coming out.. Oh bother.
WED
Woke up and mugged (!!!) to make mom happy. Then after that went over to Christy's sister's friend's place. Hahaha!!! Such a distant connection!! And we were laughing about it.
"Hey Christy!!! What the hell am I going to tell my mom?!?! I'm going to my friend's sister's friend's house!!"
"Err.. Yeah."
-_-"
Ok. Haha. So we had a BBQ. And me benjamin, christine, sondra and francesca ( is that how you spell it?) were trying to light the fire against the raging wind. So irritatingg!! So I took out my umbrella and got christine to hold it to block the wind. Hahahaha! So funnae. I think Vanessa got a few shots of her. Hey, Van, if you're reading this can you send me the pics, please? Haha.. Were joking about Sondra's intelligence. =D
So then we got the fire starting. It was real fun actually. Fire's fun. =D Ok, I sound sadistic. But yah lah. To see your work pay off. It's really rewarding.. Hee. Pats chest. First time I did SOMETHING to help during a BBQ. Hee hee, and I'm pretty proud of it. I left the pit cuz I was getting bored. Talked with people and stuff. When the first batch of sausages came I didn't really trust them.. Haha.. So I told Sondra to eat one first and when she didn't die then I knew it'd be ok. =D
Then the fire went out again. And they employed yours truly once more. So ben and I got quite an ok one starting again. And they were calling scout boy. Hmph. What an insult!!! Hahaha! Yes, I got something against scouts. Cuz the scout trainer in my school is this wheezy old man who I really can't stand. Hee. Oh oh oh. You know one trick to get the coal burning is to take a satay stick and skewer a fire starter like a kebab then light it up and poke it under the coal. Cool rite! Ha!! Oh, which reminds me they were joking about the fire starters cuz of its brand. Ahem. Like. Whatever man!!
So I started cooking!! Haha.. For a while. And I think I did ok, okayyy!! Haha! Yep. But I quit the job some time after too. Eyes were pain from all the heat. Ate so much!! Was so full. Someone made a sparkler outta a marshmallow.. Ha.
Then Sondra and Christy had this wave of madness and decided to swim!! And the pool was already closed. But that didn't stop them. Haha.. Then Francesca got pushed in by Lawrence. Hee hee. We were lazing by the pool then the security gaurd came in and cleared us out. Oh man, we lied so bad. Said when we came in the gate was still open and all that. Security gaurds got pissed, some of us got pissed and we got chased out.
George came. So late!!! Haha.. He was wearing double layer. So Francesca coped one of his shirts. They pulled him into the ladies and stripped him lor. Like. Whatever...... "-_-" Security gaurds came again.
So we were about to clear out. And this group of people were hanging around. Ok, we'd been noticing these people all the way from the swimming thing. They were like looking at us, staring at us. And I heard one of them swear at us. I dunno why the hell they'd do that but I didn't wanna find out either. So then they really looked like they wanted a fight. And turned out that they did. We were about to leave when they confronted us and started. You know. The "pre-fights talk". They were talking Hokien so christy's sister's friend went up to them and started explaining.. Telling them not to fight lah, duh. I was really quite surprised they wanted a fight. There were 5 of them? Mostly scrawny people. And we had like. 8,9 guys? Mostly big and strong. Ruggers, track people that kinda thing. So yeah. Was surprised until I heard one of them talking on the phone about back up at a coffee shop nearby. Woah. Freaky.
Yeah, so we apologised and managed to get ourselves outta a reallyyy tight situation. I don't know what to say. I mean. It's something to be thankful about. You know I was quite appalled a few of us actually wanted to stay and fight. And that's like so. You know. Stupid. Fight? For what. So yeah. Vanessa gave me a lift home. On the car Glen and Cheong were talking about gangfights and stuff. Which really makes me wonder if Singapore's such a safe place after all.
THUR
Went out in the afternoon with the 6K people. Went cine. Met at the entrance and waited for latecomers. One of them being me. =D Then we went and bought tickets to kungfu hussle. It was quite a long while till the movie started so we, the guys, managed to lose the girls. Haha. We ran in the opposite direction!! So funny! Ha! We figured we'd have more fun by ourselves. =D Brings back all the memories of primary schooldays. Haha! =) You know, the Boys VS Girls thingy. =D Yep so Yijie and Zhaoying wanted lunch so we went to food court at the basement. They had Kuay Chap. I was full, so I just shared an ice kacang with Sean.
Then we went ezone. I think arcade's a real waste of money so just played one daytona game. Then it was time to go. So we went to the theatre. Bought nachos with cheese.
Movie was nice!! You guys really should go catch it if you haven't already. I felt it wasn't THAT funny. But the fighting parts are really very entertaining. Yep.
Came out of the cinema and found Lincoln and Koon yu. Another round of indecisiveness. Walked round and round orchard until we decided to go seoul garden. Went there and it was full. So we made a reservation. And waited. Then they called YiJie so we went in. Haha. My first time in seoul garden and it was nice!! A little ex though. Bro told me if we wanna eat this kinda thing should go marina bay. Ok. So yeah. Got burned ALOT. The darned oil. I still have one burn mark on my forearm. There was a shortage of spoons. And when we asked for a few, the waiter said, "We're still washing." -_-
So after that we walked out. The gals wanted to meet some friends so we just tagged along lor. In the end they couldn't fine them I think and we all went home. YouXin got lost. She had to go to somewhere near the Mobil at MGS, and she took the bus all the way to my place. Hahaha! So I just walked her back lah. Then in the end her cousins mom came out and gave me a lift from the Mobil. Ha.
Yep. Got home earlier than expected. Ok. Not that early, but still, mom was happy, and I guess I can live with that. ;)
FRI
Bro came back from army. Did nothing I think in the day. Then went to a christmas bash at my grandma's place. Pigged out again. Talked with cousins. Yep. The food was good!! Ha.. Then we went to church for midnight service. There wasn't enough space. So I left mom and bro and went outside to sit with Sarah, her sister, Joyce, her sister and Vanessa. Ok. So I wan't concentrating during the mass. We were just sms-ing and talking cock. Hahaha! So funny! Must have been one of the best masses I ever went to. =D Oh, the choir had a trumpet and that was quite cool lah. But the singing was.. Nvm.
Then after the mass David, Gillian, Nicholas Tan, Glen, Jeremy, Lawrence, Su Lin, Daryl, ShengXiang, Bro and I went to Cheong Chin Nam to have supper. No buses cuz it was like 1plus. So some people took cab and some took shengxiang and our car. So we went there. THEN. Daryl and SX left. So pang-seh. Urgh. Nvm. So then Su Lin felt like left out see. And she left too. Donald came. Ha. Had a murtabak and shared an ice kacang with dave. The kacang sucked. Haha, oh well. So we just sat there and talked cock lah. Then the rest took a cab home. Me bro and Donald walked. We walked Donald home, then went home ourselves. Bro ran cuz he needed the toilet bad. Hee hee. Played tricks on him. Took water and splashed it thru the window. He thought it was freaky until I told him it was me. =D
Reached home at 3. The latest I've ever been I think. Haha.. Crazy right. =D Slept at 5 cuz there were things I had to do. Everyday.
Wah. I've been typing so much!! Kk. I'll come back another time ok. Bye!!

Funny how the world works.
SARS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome for short, has claimed, what, two hundred odd lives? Ok, fine, let's make it three hundred. It's a world epidemic and millions of dollars has been pumped into security measures like airport temperature monitoring devices, quarantines, and countless other measures that suck at tax-payers' necks.
Then let's take a look at Aids. It's been one of the world's greatest killers, claiming 21.8 million lives so far, though most of them more or less deserved it, but still, they're.. Lives. And this number is increasing by, not thousands, not tens of thousands, but, brace yourself, MILLIONS. And what are governments around the planet doing? Cow turd, that's what.
And I haven't even brought in Cholera, Typhoid and, guess what folks, Leprosy. Yep people. The old bible killer is back. And I've got statistics to prove it.
Problem is politicians are just doing things to save their own asses. Aids. How's it going to spread to those apes on plush chairs? They're a bunch of impotent losers, what use is a hooker to them. Typhoid? The rosy spots on the unfortunate victim tell it all.
SARS? Ah. It can be waved off as a common attack of the flu. And nobody would ever notice. Until your lungs collapse and you face certain death. Wonderful. To top it off, you can pass it on to the fat, grouchy old boss reeking of cigar smoke without having you getting into bed with him. Now that's the perfect way of getting rid of those hypocritic decision makers isn't it.

Monday, December 20, 2004
Another week come and gone.. School draws near.. The only good thing is the abolishment of the stupid gay short shorts that Chinese High is SOOOO famoud about. Gonna wear the HC uniform now. Cool. Too bad I can't use that word literally. The uniform's really quite hot. Oven. Oh wells. Better than shorts though.
Ok. So last week.. Nothing much. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I more or less stayed at home.. Went out with my reduced family (brother in Tekong, remember?) here and there to eat, buy groceries and stuff. Then on Thursday I went Malaysia with mom. Quite cool.
We left in the afternoon about 1:30pm. Took 170 to the checkpoint. The Singapore one was ok. But the Malaysian one was TERRIBLE. The queue was SO long. Noticed a lotta idiots cutting the line. IDIOTS. If I were the people beside them I'd give them one nice hard kick in the shin. That'll teach them some basic manners.
Anyway after the emigration stuff me and mom went City Square. Ate lunch. Robin's Portugese Chicken. It's really good. Especially the sauce man. Yum! Just thinking bout it makes me hungry!!! Ahhhh!! Then we decided to split. Different interests. So we decided to meet at Popular after we'd been done with our stuff. So I walked around. Saw a lot of nice stuff around.. Nice shirts, nice pants, nice whatevers. But they weren't exactly cheap so I didn't buy anything. Proud of myself! Didn't spend a cent, oh yeah I spent twenty actually. On the toilet. Hahahaha!
So after that I met mom and she told me she'd been waiting for me for one and a half hours.. Hee hee. Pai sei. Really got a lot of things to see ok. And there was the arcade. Haha, over there I saw this yound malay kid thrashing everyone else in the game, and challengers kept coming until the poor boy couldn't take it anymore I think. Hahahaha! But he was like so pro. Haiya. Arcade's a waste of money to me cuz I keep losing... -_- Hee hee. Bought a couple of Christmas cards that I've yet to send out.. Haha..
Then we went to this coffeeshop for dinner. Ate hor fun. The tv was showing this WWE match between Kurt Angle and Eddie something-something. Finished before they'd beaten the pulp out of each other yet. Then we went seven11. I bought an ice cream, even though I was so full. But I really couldn't resist, hahahahaha. =P
So we went home. Emigration in Malaysia still as terrible. The officer was a grouchy toot. This old guy couldn't see the yellow line you're not supposed to step across.. And got sent to another queue.. Stupid lah, really. Waited for what seemed like hours for a bus.
Home.
Friday
Nothing much. Just went out in the late morning and bought my uniform!! Yay! Bought over-sized stuff. Hee hee, that's me man folks. Whee! 3 sets. Size 35 pants and 46 shirts. Call me fat, whatever!! Hee!
Went out for dinner at Beauty World.
Saturday
Woke up, practised then went for violin lesson. Whee. Then went out to buy groceries.. Went to Sim Lim and dad bought another Xdrum for himself.. Haha.. That's THREE players already.. Hahahaha. Was really full from lunch so didn't have dinner. Dad went to this coffee shop, and the tofu they selled had egg in it. I guess this marks the end of us going to that shop. Which is a blessing cuz the food there really sucks.
Sunday
Ah. Yesterday. Was shagged. Slept late, woke early. Went for mass in the morning. Choir was TERRIBLE. As usual lah, so I won't elaborate. Then we went out to buy stuff and flowers for the cemetery. I was carrying these huge bottles of berry juice and suddenly this small girl dashed in front of me and I hit her quite hard with the juice. Aiyo, so paisei!!! Eeks. Said sorry a lotta times.
Went home plopped on the sofa with the Hi-Fi set on and fell asleep.
Woke up, and called some p-school friends. Then had a little snack. Noodles my mom cooked. Then changed and left for the cemetery. Met up with all my maternal relatives. Haha.. It's so nice watching the little kids grow up.. As if I'm not considered a little kid as well, but you know what I mean.
Then after paying our respective respects, (hee hee) we came over to my house. Me and sylvester were made to carry stuff over to the function room. Yep. My best cousin of all time. Haha.. Still remember all the times we had. Woots. It's really great. Seeing him grow up with me.. The relationships and everything.. Yes. Wish I could give him something I had.. But nevermind.
Ate dinner, then me and sylvester came up to the house. We were talking about something private, and he wanted to use the comp. So then we came up.. Then not long later all the kids came up as well to watch Shrek. Hahaha! It's a really really really funny movie! Both movies! Hahahaha! And especially when you watch with the right people. I wish I had.
So then they left. I washed up and practised..
Today.
Woke up, practised. Then I just got back from viola lesson with Judy Tay. Hahaha.. She's a really fun woman man. Haha.. Before I came home I went Toa Payoh Central first.. Walked around the shops. Didn't find anything. Then I went coronation because its along the way home, and I had to change bus. So there I found a nice cute TY dog. Hahaha! So yep. It's wrapped up and beside my bed now.
Yup. So that's it. I'm gonna do other stuff now, tah tah!

Then let's talk bout after the concert..
Friday
Woke up early in the morning to send my brother off to Tekong. Yes, that is so cool. So now I have TWO whole rooms to myself. And that is absolutely fantastic cuz there're many things I can do now without him coming along and distracting me.. Not that I'm against him or anything.. But the presence of any human being would serve the same bane.
So yep. Went to this bus interchange which I can't remember.. All I know is that its off Pasir Ris. We went there to take a bus which would bring us to the ferry terminal which would bring us to Tekong. So at the interchange this officer mistook me for a recruit and told me to tuck in my shirt. Mom explained to him, and saved me from the humiliation. But my brother wasn't spared though.
Bus was crowded. Had to stand.
Watched kiasu Singaporeans rush to get on and off the bus as if there were no tomorrow. So irritating really. "Hellooo, uncle?! What's the bloody rush?!?!"
So we took the ferry. Dad felt sea sick. The exhaust stank. Left my water bottle on the boat and walked back to take it.
Then at camp we were separated. Family members and recruits. Had a tour around Tekong. The bunks, the recreation facilities, the hawker center, the canteen, the parade squares, obstacle courses. Also had a view of the equipment they'd be using, the rations. Then we had a briefing on what would happen to our dear NS men. Yup. They gave us lunch. Army food. It's not bad really. And quite alot too.
Back at mainland, we went buying groceries, and eating lunch again.. Ate jelly and chendol at Bedok Interchange hawker centre. Nice.
Saturday
Nothing much.. Just stayed home during the day.. Then in the evening went out to esplanade library to borrow DVDs. Got pirates of the carribean and The Eye. Nice movies. Finished off POTC on the day itself and TE last night.
Then we went for dinner.. And then went home.
Sunday
Dragged myself to mass in the afternoon. Sad to say but I've been wasting my darn time. Even one second of my life is precious. So please don't waste it. Wait a minute. Maybe it ain't such a waste after all. Nvm.
Then we went Bugis and ate lunch. Then we went Sim Lim. Looked around at MP3 players. Mom would get me one cuz I aced my physics really really badly. Yep. Fantastic. So we got me the same model as my bro. XDrum. Really cool. At first I wanted another model, but changed my mind in the end. Which is a good thing really, cuz XDrum really rocks.
Went home, dumped our groceries and went grandma's place. Whiled my time away there watching this Tiger Cup match. Then had dinner. By that time it was already 8:05. The church concert started at 8. But heck. So what if I'm late right. So what? Haha. So I walked. The whole darn way. Reached at 8:45. FORTY MINUTES. Wee.
Reached during the intermission. Which is a blessing cuz my late-coming was inconspicuous. Dave and the others were surprised. Haha. Haven't been mixing round with them lately. There're other things that draw me away.. Hahaha.
Yep. So I sat with Dave, Jeremy and Lawrence. Dave was sleeping, and me and Jeremy were cracking jokes at the *ahem* performance. Oh well. I was there for other reasons.. Things that may not take fruit now, but definitely will in the future.
Went for the reception. Talked with friends.. The usual lah. Then got a lift home from Jeremy's mom.
So that was last week folks. I needa go use the toilet now, so we'll talk another day.
HTML sucks.
Friday
Woke up early in the morning to send my brother off to Tekong. Yes, that is so cool. So now I have TWO whole rooms to myself. And that is absolutely fantastic cuz there're many things I can do now without him coming along and distracting me.. Not that I'm against him or anything.. But the presence of any human being would serve the same bane.

Okay, so second day of camp started with me waking up late and rushing down to HC and ending up late in the end anyway. But they haven't started sectionals yet, so I guess its ok. Sectionals was.. Ok. Haha, what's there to say anyway?
Went sixth avenue for lunch. Ate the crispy prata! Really nice haha.. Actually I didn't eat at the coffee shop where they were selling. Bought the prata takeaway and went to another shop cuz the others wanted to go there. No space I think. Then when we got there me and Joyce realised to our respective horrors there weren't spoons and forks or any of the sort in our takeaways. So Joyce ate hers with her hands and I begged Bev to get me spoon and fork from one of the stalls. =D
She got me TWO spoons in the end. -_-' "In case I dropped one."
Spilled one nice big puddle of curry on the table which in turn spilled onto the floor near my sandals. So I think the curry stain's still there. Hee.
Oh, I ordered one egg and two kosong, but the uncle gave me one extra kosong! Haha! So I was really full. Then me and some others went to buy a slurpee. Stupid me bought a giant when I was already close to bursting. So I tried to drink as much as I could and passed my cup around for people to help. But by the time I reached HC, there was still about a third of the cup left. Nobody wanted. Even Ernie so I threw it into the bin.
Sigh. =( My poor unfinished slurpee. Hee hee.
Yeap then rehearsal lah. Nothing much to say about that. Just that every rehearsal was just so fun with Ernie's funny funny quips. Became the 'baby' of the orchestra. Come on!!!! I'm not all that young am I!!! Ha!
Went swimming with Teng and RuiLin. It was so funny I tell you. Both of them were squealing about the water being cold. Haha! Then they didn't want to swim but just wanted to slack at the pool. Then I had a cramp in my left leg. Then when it'd become okay, I had a cramp in my RIGHT leg a few minutes after. SO. STUPID. SO VIOLIST!!! Hahahaha! =D
Went for dinner after that at Cheong Chin Nam, Al-Azhar. Pigged out. ;P Teng bought another slurpee.
Day3
Well started off with a lesson so I skipped sectionals. Then ate Yong Chye chicken rice. Ernie told me he'd had that for 3 consecutive days already. Ha!
Then rehearsal. Didn't screw up fake as much anymore cuz I worked at it at home! Ha!
Oh, after rehearsal saw something. Won't say what here, but probably me and some other guy really understood what was truly happening. I'm really thankful to see something like that cuz it really taught me so much. And I'm going to need this knowledge next time. Yay!
9th december
Woke up and did some last minute practising, then went to HC, put my stuff, met Guan Wei and Herbert, then went Adam road for lunch with them, Yihan and Joanna. Wow. Adam road is ex man. Ate this bowl of prawn noodles for four bucks. Oh well. Shared an Ice-Kacang with Herbert and GuanWei. Nice!
Then we had rehearsal.
And then dinner. Yong Chye again! So it was Ernie's 4th consecutive day of YCCR.
Met friends, gave tickets. I think some people still haven't paid me yet cuz I'm missing a few bucks.. Hmm.
Haha!
So then we played the concert. And I think it was really great lah. I mean I don't mean just the sound. The spirit was great. I enjoyed all 3 rehearsals, and that lone sectionals. Really fun with all the people.. And I mean.. I had so much fun! And it's been a really great experience.. Getting to know such great people. Then after the concert, to see everyone just smiling like they haven't got a worry left in the world.. It's just such an amazing thing.
Took pictures. Didn't bring my camera cuz my bro was using it that night. But I'll get them lah. Joyce!! Give me!! Hahaha...
Smart me left the orch-room key in my bag which I'd given to mom and dad to bring home first. So I called them up and tehn dad came. Phew.
Went swensons at crown prince. Ate a giant earthquake with herbert, teng, ruilin and joanna. THREE sticky chewy chocolates!! Hahaha! Yay, niceee!!
Oh along the way me and Joanna were listening to the concert which Joyce recorded on her MD player. It was so nice!! Then at the Tchaikovsky Elegie where the violas break out in a scale passage solo.. It was so nice!!! Hahahaha! Then me and her were walking along to the tempo of the Finale so we were walking so FAST! Hahaha!
Oh, at Swensons.. We gave him his farewell gifts!! SO FUNNY!! Hahahaha! Ok. We bought him these China strings. And we took out the G. And put something ELSE inside. Oh my gosh!! Hahahaha! Me and Teng thought of it! Hahahha!!! So funnie really! Helped Ernie take a few photos of that moment when that THING was dangling from his hand! =D
Yeah, we bought him a fountain pen with his name engraved on it as well.
Went home in a taxi cuz it was twelve. Shaun left me behind!! ='( Hahaha!
Yeah. So that's the concert. I really loved it. And it's going to bring back so many happy memories.
I started watching Sesame Street again. It's from 12:30pm - 1:30pm every weekday on Kids Central. Call me childish, whatever. Just wanted to catch this certain character who I'm going to miss.
His name's Ernie.

Hmm.
China trip.
I dunno what to say, I've forgotten so much already!
Day1
Woke up and did some last minute packing. Then took a cab to Changi, sat around and ate breakfast at the Kopitiam outlet there. Ate prawn noodles! Ah, I actually remember!! Haha!!! And I was listening to Bruch Violin 1 G minor on my CD-player!! Haha!!
Got on the plane and got a window seat, yay! But. It was at the wing.. So half my vision was blocked by this white thing.. =S
Remember the last time I took a plane I was really scared.. I knew I was leaving behind a lotta stuff.. And I was so afraid that if something went wrong I wouldn't be able to do all those things that I wanted to do.. Love all those people I wanted to love..
But it didn't happen this time. =D
Yep, this time I sat on the plane and knew that nothing would happen. Heh. Don't I just rock.
Anyway we arrived in Hanoi. It was quite cool (as in, temperature) and I was quite surprised actually. Took a bus from the runway to the terminal. Then after the immigration, took a bus to China..
You're probably asking why I didn't fly straight to China. Well, all direct S'pore-China flights were cancelled. Why the hell that happened I don't know.
So anyhow. The bus journey was stuffy. The driver didn't turn up the aircon.. Looked out the window most of the time. It was quite cool lah. Seeing all those vast expanses of field. Tour guide told us Viet cars can't go above 60km/h.. Which is like.. SLOW. T_T Sigh!!!
Finally got to China and it was evening already. Went through the checkpoint. Emmigration there is really pathetic.. Took us 45minutes.. WALKED accross the border! It was quite cool, really. You know, and at that line, you can be in two countries at the same time!! Yep. Then took yet another bus to Ping Xiang I think. Dunno. Had dinner and bought some CDs.. Went hotel and slept.
Didn't sleep immediately though.
Day2.
Grrr. Ok look. I really can't remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is SOOOOO frustrating argh argh argh.
I think I went to this waterfall. And its the border between China and Vietnam. Think its the only big thing for the day. But the waterfall was really very nice. Then I think bout Singapore's largest "waterfall". -_-
Day3
Haiz its all a blank..
Ok. Let's just skip all the days. And just have absurds ok?
Bro bought this Spalding basketball. The idiot thought it was made of leather and paid 150 yuan for that piece of crap. 150 yuan is S$30 by the way. Yeah. So we found out in the end it's made of rubber. And we saw the same ball in another shop selling it for.. 80 yuan I think. He's pissed. Hee hee. And mom and dad haven't found out yet.. LOL. =D
Hmm there's this cave that we went to. And its really pretty, all the limestone stalactites and stalagmites. (Point to note : these are accurate spellings. I didn't fail my english) Yep. And they used really colourful lights to add to the effect. Really quite interesting. And there's this pool of water that's so still.. It reflects the cavern above so you actually think that its a drop down when its actually water, get me. Pretty.
This is getting boring.
Whatever lah. I don't wanna think bout this anymore.. Just wanna say that there was a lotta time wasted in this trip lah.. Going to some really loserfied tourist attractions that weren't the least bit intriguing and spending so much time on the bus my arse actually hurt.
So there.
Met a fellow Communist High junior. How cool is that! And his sis is in HC.
Whee.
Bought 2 new bags!! And tonnes of cds. Really prouda muhself!!
Ok. So lets jump all the way to camp.
So I came back on the 5th, sunday night. Practised. Can you believe it. I can't either. I think there's something wrong with me I'm turning into a geek!!! Aaaahh!!!
Missed Ernie's chamber concert. And so many other things lah. Bleah, can't be helped.
Heh. But I didn't have much of a choice.
Day1
Went to HC , and had this orientation treasure hunt thing. Got thrown in together with Shaun, Joanna, Renie and someone else I can't seem to remember. Sigh, how evil. But nvm. We managed to collect all the items and I (slaps chest) found Teng!! Hahahaha! So funny. Sneaked up behind him. Yep. We got a box of chocolates. Passed it to Shaun and I never heard of it ever again. Ahem Ahem. HAhahaha. Oh, and we had him do a pole dance with a bamboo pole. Funnae! Played charades and were coming up with really wacky ideas then Lau Wen Jin was complaining about coming out with something more intellectual. So he came out with the phrase "Green Vegetable". I mean. How intellectual is THAT?! Haha.
Oh oh oh. Then David Teng and Rui Ling collaborated this idea then they were like hugging each other and immediately half of us shouted 'Gay!!' Haha!! SO spastic! Turned out that it was "Friends of violists". Like, WHUTever!! Hahahaha!
Went for lunch at KAP. But me RuiLing and David decided to go Cold Storage and buy a whole chicken and share that instead. Much much cheaper. Bought 2litres of fruit juice as well. Haha! We were looking like savages tearing up the poor chicken. Hee!
Was waiting around for joyce and herbert with bev and joanna. Took so long! We were almost late! So we had to run from the bustop to the orch-room that's like all the way at the 4th level, then come back down again.. Pant pant.
Then rehearsal. Pretty much faked through it. Hahaha.. I mean. I haven't seen the pieces before!!! Gave out stuff I bought from China during the break.
When it'd all ended went to the bustop to wait for parents AND collect my violin. Ahaha AKA My Wife. Smiles.
Yeah, then went Bugis for dinner with my family.
K, I gotta go now. Continue next time ok.
China trip.

I repeat,
I don't know where to start..
Sigh.
Ok, fine.
Takes a really deep breath
Let's see, Strings Camp.
1st day
Arrived in the orch-room and played some Polar Bear while waiting for the Sec4s to come. Wowee. BaoHe became the commando Polar Bear. Wahahaha. That first round was funny. Though I didn't join in. Then in the second game I joined in along with Goh, Lenard and Dun Jie. I was a villager. And so when Kevin, the narrator, told the Polar Bears to get up and kill someone, stupid me didn't catch it. Thought he meant 'everyone wake up'. So I woke up, saw the polar bears and was banished from the game for breaking the rules. Argh! Then in the 3rd round, I was the Witch-doctor!! And the stupid thing was this. I was the FIRST to get voted out. Again! Grrr. This is so pissing.. Hmpf. Nvm. Haha..
Then the sec4s came, we just had free time. They wanted to go bowling but I didn't. Ok. Speaking of bowling. I'll tell you guys this little secret of mine. The last time I bowled I was with my friends and this girl I fancied. So. You can imagine what happened. I never was good at bowling. My maximum score was always, what, 60 plus? Hahaha.. Yes. So you can tell how embarassed I was. And the thing is that she's PRO at it. Argh. Hahaha! Yes I can hear those sniggers!!! =P Tell ya this kinda thing will never happen again k!
So I didn't go. Wanted to play soccer but there was lightning. Goh coped some confiscated basket balls, soccer balls and a volleyball from the staff room! So cool! Haha! Now we have a few.. =D Played ping-pong. Played King. Guess I just suck at this game lah. Kena knocked out 'in-service' so many times! Funnae. Played. Don't laugh. Pokemon cards. Ok. I KNOW you're laughing out there!! Just keep it down will ya. But there was really nothing to do!! Excuses. Haha..
Had chicken rice for dinner. Was it Yong Chye? Don't know didn't ask. So I ate then we went to watch a movie in LT3. We had a choice of 3 movies. Scary Movie 3, Hero and (!!!) Finding Nemo. Naturally I managed to persuade the masses to watch the only movie I hadn't, SM3. Hee. ;) So it was a really great movie!! So funny in a lame way! But I thought there wasn't enough explicit material in it for it to be branded NC-16. Tsk tsk. Singapore censorship. But no I'm not about to launch into politics. It's not safe!! *Peers suspiciously left and right.
Ok so then I moved my stuff to the Tower Block and put my stuff in 3J along with the other sec3s. Sec4s exclusively had 3I all to themselves but it didn't matter in the end. Me and ZhenRong ended up playing King of Fighters on the classroom computer until 3am, then JunJie came and took over and we played Metal Slug and all those arcade games until 5.30. I know it was crazy but I hadn't planned to sleep anyway.
So I slept for 1 hr alongside WaiPeng. Actually I didn't intend to sleep. Wanted to listen to something on my CD-player but I fell asleep. Sigh. =(
Day2
Woke up brushed my teeth. Felt uncomfortable. Knew I was going to get sick.. But anyway we had a rehearsal. And then we had a gig. SO smart. Goh only told us of the gig like a few days before camp when we'd planned everything? But we didn't really have much of a chhoice did we. So after the gig, we went for a treasure hunt. Wasn't keen on it but I still went. And we'd found a few clues before I got sick. Really sick and it was scary. Cos I was under the burning. And it was really scorching I tell you. Everyone was sweating like mad, and I was DRY. No sweat. (no pun intended) Yeah. And I could feel this headache coming. And I felt so cold.. So my team and I decided to quit the game. They weren't keen on it either actually so they used me as an excuse. So I went back and slept. Woke up and drank some water they bought me and slept. Kept sleeping until I woke up at 8. They were having dinner and the headache had blown up. It was just so painful. I couldn't take it. Asked Ivan to help me get Panadol and I went to sleep. Woke up again because of the pain. Then Ivan came. Took 2 pills and went to sleep. Woke up and felt fine. Woah. Wonders of Panadol. Haha..
They were playing water bombs so I joined in after a while when I was sure I was ok. Haha, got 2 frags before I died. It was only a short while then we packed up. Bathed then Lenard, Joseph, Dun Jie and I walked to seven-11 at sixth avenue to eat cup-noodles cos we were hungry. I didn't eat dinner!! There were no buses cos it was mid-night. Oh, there was the 174 I think. But it had crazy charges, like. $2.40?! Crazy! Might as well take a cab. But we decided to walk. And walk we did. Bought and sat outside to eat. Crazy Joseph and Dun Jie bought Big-Gulps. Siao. I vowed never to drink soft-drinks in excess ever again cos I guess it was one of the factors that caused my illness. So we went back. And then played cards. Then just walked around with Dun Jie, Yuan Hao. Walked to the terraces and lay down and looked at stars. Made a bed with 9 tables in 3collumns and rows and slept. Yuan Hao on the left, Dun Jie on the right and me in the center. Who gives a shit about homosexuality.
Day3
Had another rehearsal and gig in the morning. Then went for a talk by John Sharpley in the auditorium. Heard his Zither Concerto and 2nd Symphony. And. Let's just say I don't really like contemporary unless they're really nice, shall we?
Slacked around and gave the sec4s their gifts then we and ZW went for viola lesson.
Shit.
Didn't practice.
Nvm. Its over and I hope I've learnt my lesson.
"But how I've taked you for granted words cannot express."
Then went back to the orchroom and had our first rehearsal with Chan Yoong Han. So cool! Yay, a competent conductor!! =) He really is good. =) =) =) Went through Mendelssohn 3rd symphony and Shostakovich C-minor quartet. He said it was good!!! Yay!
Had a lift home from Goh.
Maybe he's not so bad after all. I don't know. There are things he did well, even though there're many things he should have done better. Still. Maybe he'll be missed. But that's for the futrure to tell.
That's all for camp. I going out now, maybe I'll come back and give you more bout the China trip.
And The concert!!!
Really enjoyed that one. Probably the best I ever had. At least one of. Hmm. Thinking bout it. One the top 2. Yep. But it'll have to wait. Cya!!
Wish me luck in Life.
I don't know where to start..
Sigh.
Ok, fine.
Takes a really deep breath
Let's see, Strings Camp.
1st day
Arrived in the orch-room and played some Polar Bear while waiting for the Sec4s to come. Wowee. BaoHe became the commando Polar Bear. Wahahaha. That first round was funny. Though I didn't join in. Then in the second game I joined in along with Goh, Lenard and Dun Jie. I was a villager. And so when Kevin, the narrator, told the Polar Bears to get up and kill someone, stupid me didn't catch it. Thought he meant 'everyone wake up'. So I woke up, saw the polar bears and was banished from the game for breaking the rules. Argh! Then in the 3rd round, I was the Witch-doctor!! And the stupid thing was this. I was the FIRST to get voted out. Again! Grrr. This is so pissing.. Hmpf. Nvm. Haha..
Then the sec4s came, we just had free time. They wanted to go bowling but I didn't. Ok. Speaking of bowling. I'll tell you guys this little secret of mine. The last time I bowled I was with my friends and this girl I fancied. So. You can imagine what happened. I never was good at bowling. My maximum score was always, what, 60 plus? Hahaha.. Yes. So you can tell how embarassed I was. And the thing is that she's PRO at it. Argh. Hahaha! Yes I can hear those sniggers!!! =P Tell ya this kinda thing will never happen again k!
So I didn't go. Wanted to play soccer but there was lightning. Goh coped some confiscated basket balls, soccer balls and a volleyball from the staff room! So cool! Haha! Now we have a few.. =D Played ping-pong. Played King. Guess I just suck at this game lah. Kena knocked out 'in-service' so many times! Funnae. Played. Don't laugh. Pokemon cards. Ok. I KNOW you're laughing out there!! Just keep it down will ya. But there was really nothing to do!! Excuses. Haha..
Had chicken rice for dinner. Was it Yong Chye? Don't know didn't ask. So I ate then we went to watch a movie in LT3. We had a choice of 3 movies. Scary Movie 3, Hero and (!!!) Finding Nemo. Naturally I managed to persuade the masses to watch the only movie I hadn't, SM3. Hee. ;) So it was a really great movie!! So funny in a lame way! But I thought there wasn't enough explicit material in it for it to be branded NC-16. Tsk tsk. Singapore censorship. But no I'm not about to launch into politics. It's not safe!! *Peers suspiciously left and right.
Ok so then I moved my stuff to the Tower Block and put my stuff in 3J along with the other sec3s. Sec4s exclusively had 3I all to themselves but it didn't matter in the end. Me and ZhenRong ended up playing King of Fighters on the classroom computer until 3am, then JunJie came and took over and we played Metal Slug and all those arcade games until 5.30. I know it was crazy but I hadn't planned to sleep anyway.

Oh my gosh.
I just don't know what to say.
The time draws near..
So close..
I can almost smell it.
And my heart beats in anticipation
For the moment I've waited for all my Life.
Thank you.
Nobody knows the great importance of these two words.
The meaning they imply.
Their power.
So I say it
Every chance I get.
Thank you.
You make me feel so special.
I never knew I was one
Of so few.
I never thought it'd be this way.
I never thought you'd permit me
Of all people
To enjoy this happiness.
Thank you.
But how people can just let go..
I just don't know why they let themselves do that.
Be deceived.
They don't know what
They're missing.
So much.
I hope..
That one day..
They'll come back.
Though its so unprobable..
I still hope.
Then we can be
What we should have been.
Hark.
The time draws near.
Thank you.
I just don't know what to say.

How do I type this its been so long..
So long..
There ain't no reincarnation.
So how long do you think was it that I last saw the sunset on a plane?
Or the flowers blooming in the winter?
Maybe you'll be a witness as well to the things I hold.
Nothing's impossible.
That's true.
To be pulled from a shit-hole and crowned a prince.
Sounds too good to be true don't it?
Like The Prince and The Pauper.
But it should be this way.
I always believed in love.
But I never knew love until you came along.
Filled my heart with warmth
That I never ever could get enough of.
Have I known you all my life?
Because you came to me all in a sudden.
I never thought I'd love you.
Until.
But how I've taked you for granted words cannot express.
How sorry I feel can't be either.
Language is so shallow.
Look into my heart and see
The willingness.
Because I can't say it.
Grace.
Showed me the things.
Like a star against the clouds that try to cover it.
It will always shine.
Though you may not see it.
It's there.
Wind.
It blows the dust and ashes away
Revealing the truths
Gleaming in the moonlight like gems from the deepest bowels of the earth.
And you covet them and hold them close to your heart.
Because these things matter most.
You cannot see the wind.
Nor do you know where it is going.
But you feel it.
And you know
It's there.
It's been a long time and I don't know where to start.
Hark.
Hades calls.
It draws me away.
I have to obey.
Until the day the firey gates are broken down and the evil released.
Then peace will come.
So shall happiness.
And love.
Love.
Do you know it by name?
Do not speak of it when you know it not.
Do not claim to believe in it when it is not in your heart.
The senseless thoughts of a vagabond.
I go where the wind takes me.
I go where the fire draws me.
And I shall do so with all that I am.
Timeless.
Goodbye.
