okay, i feel it's necessary to blog~ it's carnival day after all.. shall start from carnival day t-minus 2 days. a side note first, i have a good affinity for such carnivals.. i seem to always been in the batch where i enjoy such fun stuff. yay~

okay.. building up to the carnival, had quite some planning n organising to do. i was nvr store co-ordinator in the 1st place.. but somehow, i get roped in as usual. went to buy banner cloth on wed, with a bit of help of external finanicial aid. muhaha.. helped rather out of my way for my fren, but as usual she's nt very grateful, but kinda used to it. anyway, did v.little for the banner n painting :p after all, i nt the arty person around.

had to concentrate on my efforts to get the sushi out. i think that i have made enuff sushi for at least a year or two.. from cooking rice, to rolling, to chopping to wrapping, i all have to do. it's quite fun.. but when one does it from 4pm to 3am, it's nt really that exciting at all. gd thing gt 2nd shift of pple to rotate production for ard 3 hours, or else will really die wan. i think i'll also abstain for sushi for a month or two, i'm quite sick at the sight/smell of it..

stupid rain in the morning thwarted my dream of participating in the launch ceremony, which i kinda looked forward to. it felt quite cool on the rehearsal, but couldnt experience the real thing. felt that the carnival like had no official n distinct opening time... bit messy n dis-organised. bad weather... toured the carnival lay-out wif 2 different frens.. then even helped out wif carrying some crates of coconut for a class.. the class has only 4 guys.. n they weren't around.. so yar.. just being helpful :D
went to every single stall, at least once, except the LAN n haunted house, which i refused to climb up so high for. quite an array of interesting stuff that was sold. the nacho thing was quite nice, the rest of the food i refuse to comment :D cool buy of the day, has to be the chinese society wooden block thing. it's so cool, though i havent recieve back my order, but i think it will be v.nice. just waiting for my fren to pass back to me once my order is done! so exciting~ :)
went around doing 4 rounds of mobile sales of my sushi. sold quite a chunk throught that method.. meanwhile, could drag n pull every single person i knew to buy.. quite fun. heehee :) then there was my GP tutor. gosh.. she hanged this red balloon to enhance her height, which i suaned her about naturally. was suaning each other in chinese, (for the 1st ever time), haha.. then i think i'm going to attend at least 2 years of J1 GP classes wif her... tt's wat she threatens. so evil!! i'm the poor GP rep suffering under her tyrannical rule. :(
wanted to take photos wif quite some pple.. found them at first.. but they all say later later.. then end up couldnt find at the end. so sad :( nvm lar.. gt my classmate's bdae soon, can use the film then again. speaking of which, i'm suppose to go n organise... but i think i will start work on it once school start.. let poor me have a break for a day or 2.
then i bring 2 of my ex-classmates around the school for awhile, after my sushi sold out. played the soccer game.. quite fun lar. though expensive, but it's gd fun lar.. then brought them around a bit.. then more interestingly brought 3 water bags my fren sold to me for a exhorbitant price of $2!! 1st bag, went immediately to my 1st mnth classmate, on her back, for selling me those expensive bags. received one back for my expression of gratitude. 2nd bag, saw 2 of my frens, A and B. i intended to threw at A, so i called A's name. but A took up a defensive position, so i just smacked B wif the bag. quite funny... coz it was a bit of luck, n mix-up that i hit B. poor B, so i compensated her wif some excess coupons which i had a lot. 3rd bag, disappointing bag. i smacked it right on the shoulder of C, n the bag didnt even burst.. only leaked puny-ly on C's shoulder... i was like so sian.. the element of surprise is gone lor.. then after that, had a scene of me n C squeezing the bag on each other, trying to make it explod on the other.. but end up just pouring coloured water on each other.. quite childish.. like 2 young kids playing at the playground, wif water. haha.
leg felt very tired at the end of the day... walked about quite a bit.. then wanted to help pack up.. but my class sold out early, n they packed up early.. so no need help out lor.. then slacked around till my fren finished wif his stall, then to go my fren's house to play worms. my fren, J, the host is so PRO wif worms. he slaughtered both of us single-handedly. we had to team up at the end on J in order to win.

so that sums up carnival day. :D

attended lecture/tutorial for sushi making today by my classmate~ so fun. didnt know that it wasn't that hard, and it tasted real nice. though i didnt personally make, and was busy scribbling down all the necessary steps, but it was still fun~ have to cook the rice, fry the egg, then slice it, then spread the rice on the seaweed.... the more i type, the more hungry i get... i quite like sushi. anyway, do buy from my class stall on the day of the carnival! u might get a Kenneth special. muhahah~

school is the same. nothing out-standing to mention wat so ever.

oh yar.. changed the outlook of my tagboard.. was fiddling wif it, to add some freshness to the blog. i've decided not to bore anyone wif all those standard crappy stuff on "school, work, pw... blahblahblah.." so pardon me for my shorter entries.. unless i accidentally go rambling on abt it again.

was supposed to go soccer wif my cat high mates.. but apparently the rain this morning squashed all such plans.. arh well.. bit sian diao liao..

then rushed to school for interact meeting, went SA interact installation, which was quite impactful. short but meaningful. then went for the NY concert. was quite gd, save at the end, where it gt a bit draggy n boring... other than that, it was a gd concert. and abt ZZ, i WAS angry, but now i aint... it's just that, i hate last-min cancellations.. esp for better frens. ZZ is just too nice a girl for anyone to be angry with her for more than 24 hours.

gt a whole chunk of work to do.. tutorials, tutorials n tutorials. sian

It's a v.nice show!!! provided good lubrication for my eyes while watching the show. it has everything part and parcel of brotherhood all mixed inside... sacrifice, humour, arguement, displeasure but still it shows that blood is indeed thicker than most things. if u have a brother, go watch it wif him. it would really mean a lot.. unless he's too young to comprehend or wat.. but otherwise, it's definitely one of the best movies i ever seen.

oh yar.. v.pissed off by one thing today. in case u all didnt know.. i hate the worst for a promise to be broken.. was supposed to go watch concert wif ZZ tml. then ZZ cancel it today... well done... told ZZ weeks ago, if u cant attend it, tell me early... so i can find some one else.. then ZZ agreed that it was okay for a long time... cant one just keep a promise? where's the credibility in one's words nowadays? being late is one thing... but cancelling it at the last minute really pisses me off.. worse still, ZZ didnt even apologise for it outright.. and even had to go thru another fren to inform me that not watching the concert wif me. wat kinda of attitude is that.. no apology, no sincerity. even though i asked ZZ at least like 1 month ago, whether can watch, if got problem wif parents or not, ZZ assured me not problem at all.. then this kinda of thing happen.
it's damm irritating.. and pisses me off. i'm just so very disappointed wif ZZ, treated ZZ like a gd fren and this is the kinda of nonsense u repay me for the friendship. "thanks!"

tml racial harmony day.. n some of my frens r all excited abt it..
i'm kinda bored by it.. coz i gt to go man this food stall for ard 5 hrs tml.. gt arrowed to do it.. thanks to the fact. head. arh well. wateva!
 
as the title suggests, i just realise that i have quite a nice n tight schedule all the way up to the end of july. starting from tml.. gt medical appt, gt CCAs, gt pw to rush, gt maths tutorial to clear, gt sushi to prepare, then have to go ard selling tixs to my frens, then still gt some interaction installation n concert to attend. think there's some maths comp. arh well... argh...
 
went tourism resource centre (TRC) to do my pw.. then dig out relevant articles.. then somehow i end up being the sorter of the articles.. any one found anything, they would come n show me, seeking my opinion abt it.. then imagine 3 pple doing it all at the same time, wif me juggling my own research to do.. it's so tiring.. then 1 "last-min" gt some thing on.. which i absolutely doubt it.. scholar.. kinda expected.. but oh well..
by fri, gt to conjure out grp file.. looks like i've to do most of the stuff anyway, so might as well start early.. enuff of pw.
 
i'm getting pissed abt organising outings. attendance is poor... to say the least... the scholars no need say. locals... haiz... even some of the locals choose their frens. i dont get any reward for doing all this shit, n there's rarely appreciation. gt 1 more bdae bash i promised to organise.. since i promised, i'll keep it.. other than that, i give up. i just feel tt it's v.sad.
 
CO's getting all draggy n boring again. it's so aimless to attend practice, n the effeciency is pathetic. i went practice last time round, i gt no score for a new song, n guess where was it? at the Sectional Leader's (SL) home. well done. i remember telling the SL abt the broken basses, n i heard a promise that the problem would be rectified soon. till now, i see the same old broken bass... last practice, i heard the pres mentioned practice will be changed to mon n fri, then i gt notified that there was a practice on tml (wed). my life has other things other than CO, last minute stuff are not really welcomed when i've a tight schedule, esp when CO is at the off-peak season. worse still, it's a passed msg... the section isn't exactly large, i remember vividly the previous SL would send a msg to every single member regarding such stuff, especially if it was emergency stuff. such "dedication" of the SL in informing everyone of the sudden change in practice time. anyway, since the EXCO r so elite, like them get themselves in their own exclusive grp n do their exclusive duties which they execute with such perfect effeciency. dont get me wrong, CO still does matter to me, if nt, y would i be in for 5 yrs now? i still do enjoy the company of my non-EXCO frens. pre-EXCO n post-EXCO pple r different, saw it in my sec school students' council, see-ing it now in HCCO.

Yest, had CO hand-over.. i'm nt exactly passionate n en2 abt the whole event, but i was happy to just see my 2 seniors again. haha.. they were wonderful.. provided guidance n everything.. i still remember the time i made one of them in a difficult situation coz i didnt go CO regularly.. i'm sorri for it.. but their advice in terms of music was invaluable.. then also have all the numerous sectional outings where we had fun.. it's so memorable. then during practice, all the entertainment n fun, but still got serious work done though. anyway, been a delightful 6 months with them around. thank you andrew n ronnie :D
 
anyway, gg to swap my new C380 for my fren's nokia phone for a short period of time. it's just for fun! coz in my gd mood on the day i changed plan n gt the free phone, i offered to xchange the phone in a moment of madness.. so i cant go back on my word anyway. it's nt a total lost in a sense.. my fren's phone is nt bad anyway, so yar...
 
oh yar.. can some one teach me how to play "pim pomp"? apparently, this game has been left out of my childhood arsenal of games.. then my fren was teaching me how to play yest, then i still couldn't get it... argh!!

yay! i gt a free phone, new plan. it has FREE incoming calls, so i can take calls anywhere anytime, w/o worries for my charges. and it's still very affordable.. and comes along wif a nice free colour motorolia phone, which despite people saying that it's user non-friendly, i find it rather easy to use :D
 
been rather busy wif my hwork, esp PW. argh.. hate that subject.. (the explicit details r too much to type out) maths is still forever unfinishable, but still have to try my best n mug for it like mad.. then today, was thrown this GP project which we have 3 days to rush finish.. save that the fact the topic (medieval times) is extremely interesting, otherwise this project would be very very boring.
then tml, gt the CO celebration for senior, concert, n the last year as HCCO.. nxt yr, would be merger.. i think that the dinner is rather cheapo.. it's @ LT3 in school.. n the food is probably buffet stuff.. then at there, all the different sections will cliche together.. oh well.. wateva.. it's like the "last" dinner, can at least hold it at some where nicer n posher.. say a resturant or wat.. i dont think many would mind paying for such an occasion anyway.. but wateva.. like the exco do their job..
 
gt back my phys paper. think i gt an A! yay! my only A for BT so far.. doubt GP would get it.. but wateva.. could probably be degraded to a B due to difference in grading scheme, but let me be self-delusional. haha.. :D have ard 11 wks, to promo liao.. this sounds sadistic but it seems that there's so much to rush for it.. PW, tutorials, CCAs n other commitments all have to be juggle.. my BT grades r in fact v.poor.. so only way to get 'S' papers n phys O is via a perfect promo record.. so the countdown starts now. 11 wks, 77 days n counting..
 
this few days has been rather tiring for me, in terms of social relations... i'm v.puzzled by the actual "status" that my frens view me as... some relations r getting better, some r getting worse, some r just going no way.. i'm glad that i've my bunch of steadfast n loyal frens :) thank you all.
if i made mistakes or offended anyway, pls do forgive me :)
but i must apologise for being so mean n harsh to a fren of mine recently.. think that i ignored totally the situation she's in, the problems she's facing n the predicatment she's having, n i have rather wrongly acuse her of many things.. i do hope u would forgive me.. i do value the friendship n hope u do.. think probably need more communication n better understanding :) so pls do forgive me lar... ... ...

i feel weird.. dont know why.. could becoz of my deplorable results, could be because of school, or my stack of unfinished maths tutorials.. but i'm feelin weird and i dont know why... wateva..

anyway, feeling physically v.tired in these 2 days. 1st, had soccer trng on monday... for around 2+ hours? worse part, that it was a physical session.. so was absolutely tired out once i reached home.. scraped all my plans to try n squeeze hwork time.. then today, had swimming PE. no doubt it's fun!, but it's rather tiring.. considering that the teacher made us swim in 3 different strokes, tapping into all that i learned when i was a kid.. including the rather challenging butterfly stroke~ it's such a difficult style to swim n it is rather impractical to me.. dont know which person invent wan.. just felt so tired after that, and took a 4 hrs long nap, which i think is still not enough. haha..

but i think certain girls in my class r a bit un-understandable. she says she allergic to chlorine, thus cannot go swimming. yar, n i'm allergic to water. pls lor.. think that she would probably be stuck-up in her own world, wif her own frens (happen that none of them r boys i think). cant blame.. she's from a girl school. okay.. ladies, pls dont blame me if i go on rambling wrongly :D anyway, she, call her XX, has not gone for more than 2 class outings if i remember correctly, though she's a local.. goes to n fro from school via car... n the worse thing is that she seems to have a distinct dislike of guys.. n i'm serious abt it.. nvr once i seen her VOLUNTERAILY go do any form of project no matter how minor, wif a guy in the grp.. even so, she would think she always correct in the grp n does everything herself. then rarely has she started talking or saying hi to a guy on her own initative abt non-official business. i see her even has the cheek to walk past another guy classmate of mine, w/o saying hi or wat so ever, then just go off to the class bench. and both were alone... is it a sin to say hi to a member of the opposite gender? thus, the worse part i think that she should change the most is her attitude towards the male population. we guys dont lose out anything at all in this case.. but as a "fren" n classmate of her, i do hope she would change.

okay.. dont get me wrong.. i just quite pissed wif that small part of her attitude that's all.. but other then that.. i think that, frens still can be made, provided the feelin is reciprocated.

the title shuld be intepreted as sick approaching better.. but not better.. a bit like limits for differentiation.. cant blame me u see.. maths dominate a large part of life.. so i'm too affected by it a times :D

anyway, feeling better, especially after my 3.5 hour long nap. that was really shuang.. felt v.gd after it. the life man.. weather was also cold, just nice.. nt too cold nor humid. i had to ignore my alarm clock like 3 or 4 times (coz it snoozes), b4 i was allowed to enjoy my wonderful nap. didnt do much work today.. most of the part was spent on the nap n net. so still got sunday to finish up work n to catch up a whole lot as well. mugger's sunday.

oh yar.. entrusted by my fren today to go "protect" my CCA mate.. it's quite a complicated story, but the gist of it is that i wasnt really required to go and "protect", coz the "danger" it seems was nipped at the bud. (ask me if u want the full version.) dragged my "sick n tired" body down then only to realise that it's kinda a wasted trip, but doesnt matter lor. then brought a pack of SOUR sweets, they were really horribly sour, so that can donate for my fren.. ah well.. seems that certain things are not they used to be.. sad isnt it?

i dont really wish to have to much entries wif flu-ing as the title, but wateva. i'm too ill to come out wif something else. haha

went to see the doctor today, n at first i thot i haven't go the clinic b4, but end up, a check in the records reveals that i was there when i was 1999 Jan, that was like when i was P6! when i was still a cute n adorable boy :D haha.. believe it or not.. my ez-link card can be a proof. so go dig it out of my wallet if u can.

went back school for the phys O selection. it seems that the BT was harder than the selection test. hrmm.... and revising O lvl stuff would enable one to get a better grade if than revising A lvl. oh well.. made some quite stupid errors in the paper.. it will be quite hard to get into the team if i fail this chance.. but wateva.. the worse part of the test was that the whole LT was filled wif 70% PRCs!!!! so scary... *shivers* fyi, i'm rather anti-foriegn talent to an extent :D

probably, watch the copa match of brazil. watch them play offensive football, nice change from the defensive play of the greeks. dont get me wrong.. i support the greeks n their supreme efficiency, but the beautiful game is best epitomed by attacking play n goals. if only the copa timing is slighty better, then can watch more often. sniffing away quite badly.. sigh.. throat feeling horrible as well. sigh.. still have to go school for phys o selection test tml.. hope i get to be a POT-er :D

oh yar.. got to worry abt the dance, cheer n song.. seems that have to get it done asap.. dont want to drag.. later clash wif all the other stuff, eg. PW. sigh.. then still gt my mountain of maths tutorial to clear.. looks like flu-ing also means work time

one fine day, like today, i woke up. n i felt v.cold. then i realised that it was my fren's air-con. it was so so cold, n i was slping on the floor. gosh... was freezing.. but anyway, watched the finals. greece won, kinda expected @ that point of time. had i known at the start of the tournament, i would have bet 5 bucks on them, n now i would be 2495 dollars richer. but sadly, i didn't :( i need to pray more to the gods. anyway, i tink the nick name of the scorer is v.nice and suitable. "the angel of greece" so cool!

then went out to have lunch wif 3 other obs watch mates of mine. apparently, the rest of the watch pang se us again.. so yar.. used to it in a sense. had this v.filling lunch. wif 7 nuggets at least plus a EVM. getting fat it seems. :( wateva.. the soccer training shuld burn it off soon enuff.

watched spider 2 today. nice show, thot that the plot of reflected the emotion n self of spiderman well.. coz it shows that even a hero needs some one to save his life. so cool, esp the last scene, wif MJ standing in his door.. as well as the facial expression of the cast. think it's well worth my money :D

but more interestingly, i saw a lot of HC pple today n yesterday as well @ orchard area. saw like some couples "in action", 2 from my class. actually, nothing much lar.. just bit odd to see them out of class/school. nevertheless, i didnt hang ard too much, i'm running low on electricity after all.
