Ok guys. Sorry about the lack of posts from me XD

As you can see, or rather, as you SHOULD see, we're now hosting nuffnang! YAY! Haha. So now be good people and help us (or me, rather) by just clicking or buying, if you're interested. Please please do!

Now for presentation night...

WELL DONE GUYS!!

you don't noe how proud i am of all of you..
like just during the start of the year, some of us believed we could do well, others didn't think so much that, and like we were still a bit complacent and all. It was only during the band camp in march hols that we found out " hey omg.. we suck " and we were really giving up all hope of getting wateva. In fact joel lee was probably one of the most ahem.... tsk tsk .. nvm. And like we had so many prep - talk sessions buy either Janan Lim or a teacher or a senior admin.. Some did inspire us (a little), others just made us feel more like joel lee.

After school started again, we had Intensive training practise everyday starting from 12.40 pm (some of u ponners 12.00) to like 6.00 pm with Dr Lee, oops i forgot PROFESSOR. yup it really was quite tiring having our lips to suffer for many hours ever day, but with PROFESSOR Lee's teachings, we did improve - ALOT! and were much more motivated. Im not saying that Mr Francis Tan was not good enough - no definately not - just that u have to agree that Prof Lee has more experience in this. Mr Francis Tan too was a key point in our success - for one he's our conductor lol... but he too really inspired us to push ourselves just abit more every day to really give our best. So yar, we improved like crazy (though still not enough at that point in time) during the first practises. then for some reason we moved to AUDI 2 which kinda REALLY sucks. Well of course its not just the hall but regardless of what people say.. it did have a heavy impact on us. And after that, our practises got a whole lot worse. All that we practised for seemed to be lost ...especially intonation : (

However, we still tried our best - good job guys - and really just played our hearts out nad yar, before we knew the 31st of march had arrived.

I can still remember the immense pressure and anxiety we had at SCH. On one hand we were sweating thx to our BLAZERS and all that crappy not to mention thick unifrom and on the other hand we were shivering thx to the cold aircon (which made us go sharp) and the nervousness we had. i also want to thank all our seniors (and juniors) who came to support us! i hated the feeling of sitting next to the other schools before the performance.. its like looking at ur enemy before a war.

During the actual war, we were all really scared. i was lost to be frank after getting on stage this time seeing the judges for the first time (except for one special judge ).. Despite all this we played and really gave it our best. there were some squeeks unfortunately (really sorry on behalf of the calrinet section) and some intonation probs here and there.. but none the less, i feel it was a good performance. when they anounced the results i was practically shaking like a LEAF. " Band number 35 - anglo chinese school independent................................... ......................................GOLD........with HONOURS!! " WOW that feeling was really great! by GOD's grace we really did get GWH!! We even sang the school athem lol after that.

-IT WAS SIMPLY AWESOME-

congrats guys!! keep it up
(at least for another two more years)

also, there is only like one more week plus from SYF so guys make sure you practise hard, as hard as hell.

as for those lucky fortunate sec 1 and 2s chosen to join us, pls pls PLS work hard.. harder than hard. at least harder than us sec 3 and 4s.. but really do not let people look down on you just because u guys are smaller.. just look at me!! and i rawk and im considered small... Just joking.. yup so pls bear in mind what i said. But whateva you do, dont screw up our SYF - its our year.. u guys be thankful u get the chance.

Last but not least, please go left and right up and down and admire our be - a -u - ti - ful skin..

Slacked away and talked to mrkoh (geog teacher, but i dont take geog, useless subject) about random stuff. Haha maybe i shouldn't post it here. Later kena fired (JOKING OK.)

Ah well. Played with peoples' iPhones, mp4s, slacked away with free milo 8)

Taxi-ed to school with Joel lee, jonathan tang, marcus. Waited like an hour for the bloody cab! And kaiting like got her cab within 10 mins? Grr.

Went brasbasah cmplx with kaisen, shop(shut up i know its gay)ed and did alot of stupid things (: That stupid place is like filled with music shops la! Damn awesome! Saw some random one valved fanfare bugle! I want! (:

Went home, kaisen went for medical thing. Lol.

Ran a 6km run in the drizzle to compensate for the cross country run (or lack thereof).

2009-02-25T22:33:00.002+08:00

today was the 25 of February 09

today was really interesting

February the 25th was really interesting

YES! Today was so fun.. First the cross-country duty which i, as a new prefect had to go down for. I was with joel lee.. doing the prize presentation duty! after that it was more or less slack time for us : D Shhh... just joking lol. Anyway, while joel and i (weird.. why am i mentioning myself two times?) were doing our ever tiring duty (tsk tsk..), we met so many people!

this is the order of the people we met : )
1. Jeremy Ong - mae president of CFC prefects
2. Chew tai sun - someyear 4 guy who reminds me of ho kah wei : )
3. joel tan - a year 2 prefect.. lol why are there soo many joels??
4. nicole poh - she was like " joel, ur a prefect? oh i didn't noe!" sigh an outdated person.. joking!(:
5. kah wei himself - he disagreed that he looks like chew tai sun for obvious reasons
6. amos chen - he was talking to ismail
7. ismail - he was talking to amos chen
8. Isaac lee jie hao - oh yes he wants to be an astronaut! thats why he went to a Nasa spacecamp!
did i forget anyone else?

CHEERING TENNIS B FINALS

i was down, again.
and i learn so many new things today!! ^_^
i learnt that cheering is really really REALLY fun
i learnt how to fit not just one but Two school flags in a taxi
i learnt that Victoria School has kewl cheers
i learnt that you can't play tennis when it rains
i learnt that strepsils dont work!!

Overall it was really a good experience. i have learnt that unity and communication as well as passion is of utmost importance in activities such as cheering. today was trully a success and it will be something i will always remember in my 14 coming 15 years of life. To God Be The Glory And The Best Is Yet To Be..
lol im like writing some reflection for OEP? -_-

Of greenish volga,

appled nirvana.

The white-out gushes,

like the percussion brushes.

Make-up, make-over,

polderish tower.

Recyclable luncheon,
indomitable truncheon.

E -shaped walrus formation,
with hippopotamuses diffused.

Homogenous pasta,

podium thumping politicans.

Wielding nothing but frying pans and,

Megasauces.

Of the blue pogo stick,

The blue doughnut filling,

The non-existant nutcracker,

Is the scrumptious mousepad turnover.

the Valentines TM

2009-02-18T21:54:00.002+08:00

well.. i guess im kinda bored to write such a post..
In lieu of 14th of February Valentines day.. i present to u the....

"THE SEVENTEEN SIGNS OF LOVE"

1. You look at their profile constantly (be it friendster or facebook)

2. When you're on the phone with them late at night and they hang up, you still miss them even though it was just two minutes ago

3. You read their text messages or emails they send you over and over again

4. You walk really slowly when you're with them

5. You feel shy whenever their around

6. When you think about them, your heart beats faster but slower at the same time

7. You smile when you hear their voice

8. When you look at them, you can't see other people around you; you just see him/her

9. You start listening to slow songs while thinking of them

10. They're all you think about

12. You get high just from their scent

13. You realize you're always smiling when you're looking at them

14. You would do anything for them; just to see them

15. While reading this, there was one person on your mind the whole time

16. You were so busy thinking about that person, you didn't notice number 11 was missing

17. You just looked up to check and are now silently laughing at yourself

Well.. If you realize that you are in love.. or have a crush on somebody (or some people), then
don't feel sad or disappointed cause im in the same situation too! Just that i only have a crush on one person and not some people lol.. If i had one wish right now, i would wish FOR A MILLION BUCKS!! No just joking.. although that would be nice : D I would wish that the person i have been crushing on for really long could read this. And guys.. those who think u noe me really well dont try to guess cause its just stupid... like a euphonium.

ANyway.. so much for that.. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY everybody!!!
.. just wonder if she will ever say yes to me..

XOXOXOXOXO

Argh!
Okay.. the only reason why im posting during this exam-filled period is simply because, ian and apparently everyone else complained that i typed too little lol. Talking about exams, i am probably.. no, most likely.. no, definitely going to do badly.
Yups.. its over for me. i've completely loss touch of my STUDY-HARDness.
Yes. I have become a slacker*
Sob sob :_ (

Oh and i have become so much busier this year too

I noe only some of u guys truly noe about my 4four commitments in school.
They are
1- BAND! the one and only anglo chinese school independent gold with honours symphonic band.. i hope it lasts..
2 - Media Productions AC WE MAKE MEDIA : D like those movies u sometimes watch during chapel.. yep thats us!
3- Christian Fellowship all of u guys (and maybe gurls?) who are interested, please dont be afraid to approach me.. and Mr Azmi ( not Azarmi)
4- ANGLO CHINESE PREFECTORIAL BOARD yup i believe all u guys know that one for sure.. If u dont, u are coloured blind : )

So you see.. If ur from band, dont blame prefects alone for my absence.. If ur from prefects (i hope none of u are reading this), dont blame it on band; besides.. Clifton's from band :D
And if ur from MPac (the media one), well i guess u can blame me for ponning.. abit..

*I blame u Ian Ling Soon Kiat.. It's all ur fault!

Yup thats all for now.

NOW GO! GET LOST! DONT EVER COME BACK!

AGH!
I'm so surprised no one complained about our posts! (or lack thereof) Well, I was waiting for Joel to post, as he only posted once, and the rest are by me ._.

I really wonder if i should run for x-country this 25th. I've been lately really out of shape, now i'm so fat ): agr. I had only 3-4 5km runs this whole year. Should go see how those canoeist hardcore workout O: Looking at the ruggers, joshua chan, goodness. I won't even get top 20. MY screwed up stamina always fails me.

Two results out already -
History, at 78%
Chem, at 91%

more bad news to come (:

BAND TEE!

2009-02-09T20:05:00.000+08:00

WAHAHAH!

Here's my final two designs for our dear band tee.
one's a Front based design, the other a back one.
Other schools' band people or whatever people, or people from my own school, please dont rip my pics off, because,
firstly, It has my signature.
secondly, you would be super noob if you had to.
thirdly, can you imagine if our members saw each other's shirts. Like you would be so screwed. By me. So just don't copy, please. I can design one for you if you ask (nicely) in the CBOX at .o3

Credits for brusheezy for PS brushes,
Fonts by 1001 free fonts,
Template by a random site that i forgot.
Thanks also to Joel (chew & lee) and Kaisen for random bits of advice.
And anyway, for those people from other schools, the acs stuff is everywhere so I don't see why you should copy -.-

[edit]
HEYY JOEL OR JANAN OR WHOEVER IS CONCERNED! If you're looking here, YAY! Well. These are my designs for the time being. I can churn out others with minor changes or anything, but currently I have exhausted my resources. SOO. I really do think Black/Navy Blue would be a good shirt color, with Orange/Yellow as text. But that would make it look IB and it stinks. So color choice up to you guys. If you even are reading this.

On another note (pun unintended), On the back of the second design where the crest is, I actually wanted the coolio white AC dragon-cum-eagle-cum-lion-cum-scaly-object there. Unable to find it, I substituted for plain 'ol AC crest. If anyone of you finds it, tag and plsplspls email it to me (the gif or jpeg image) & i'll be eternally grateful. (:

Gah. Oh gosh! I'm so super drained!

Very long day ah. Got like what - Exam, then IC registration, then practical, then CIP, then BAND. Gosh gosh gosh.

The exam was so damnnnn scary! I didn't know how to answer certain questions and stuff. The stupid questions were so vague! ): stupid setter. I had to bullshit and stuff. I hope I'll score la.

History results out! 14/18! Gosh. So terrible. Need to mug more I thinks..

IC registration was just so plain dumb, and I don't want to say what happened.

Pratical was awful. Mr Foo (why was he there!) kept scolding random people (including me!) for no reason! Like what the heck. I got scolded for putting my hands behind the table. So unreasonable ):

CIP was dumb. Very dumb. David, raphael, noel and nabil were grouped to dig out yams in bukit timah hill. wth. It was quite fun anyway. Like chopping down any tree we felt like chopping and stuff. Good stress relief (:

See la. I so hardworking and passionate. After CIP damn tired still go band. Aiyah. I said I was a model student right.

I just don't have enough patience (and bandwidth) to post all my nice photos. But here are some of ours. Heh.

Joel, Me and The dude on the podium with a gun

The sign says no working on steep slopes. Well,

Oops. Couldn't resist the temptation (:

Haha. I didn't bother to upload alot of other random crap.
Gosh.
I hate PE! Like I ran 5.4km yesterday, then today kena forced to run another 2.4km! WHAAt. Wheew.

Been trying so hard to revamp my life out, spent the whole of the holidays working stuff out, praying incessantly and reflecting. Growing up never was this difficult. ):
But well, tried very, very hard, and though I'm still random and stuff, I'm thankful that God really sorted my mess in my life (: Even though you still see me screaming around the corridors or flapping my arms or talking to strangers, I guess its my way of dealing with my emotional stress, and I hope you understand and do try to stop me if I go overboard.
And if I had in any way offended or hurt anyone of you dudes in anything I did, I'm so, so, tremendously sorry. And when I was racist, I have made it a point to not do it point blank and I have tried to curb it.

Well, enough said.
I do think (from my rather skewed perspective) that I have changed a lot, well. Up to you guys really. (:
