You Shou Hao Xian...

Told u I was too lazy to blog after mentoring camp...

Anyway, the camp ended pretty well with lots of fun. Though my grp(9) didnt win the best overall grp, we still won the Best Mascot Design award. Afterall, what do u expect? I was the mascot being designed on... This is my 1st time taking care of such big bunch of kids, with me being the only child. This was a good experience, showing how tiring it is to take care of over-energetic kids.

Went for swimming and bowling last thurs with 201 grp. Swam for 2hrs+ after not swimming for almost a yr, felt great swimming after such a long time. Had my best score at bowling that day as well. Had 4 spares during that game and 2 consec strikes at the last moment; pushing my score over 120. Had dinner at Sakura after that, which is a buffet, where eahy joined us. FIRST time having buffet in my whole life and never felt fuller with delicious food in my stomach b4.

Went to Shaun's house to play in the afternoon tdy, too bad Wei Yi couldn't join us. Apparently, he came back from M'sia yesterday night.

So far, hols has just been anime, maple, anime, maple, outing, anime, maple, anime, maple, outing...
Really must get on with work soon...
But can't get down to the mood of doing work at all... can someone motivate me?

Long time no blog...

Last tuesday marked the final end to our PW, after finishing our I&R and GPF. Obviously, everyone was happy :) Junyi was in a hurry to go back to Malaysia to meet his parents though. 8 of us Seng Yen, Elissa, Huiru, Mei Lin, Yan Shan, shean, Shuk Man and me had class lunch toether at PS after that. Yan Shan was getting herself scorched by chilli by eating that super hot TomYam ramen.

Following that, I was going to simply laze around at home playing Audition until i met Brendan at Bishan bus interchange. We were chatting and chatting until we talked abt game and somehow got onto the topic of Maple Story(I KNOW its lame). Then, when i got home i started playing maple story and found that I quite like it(quest+lvling up) and that's why I stopped playing audition for almost a week now...

Had our 2nd 201 gathering last friday at PS initially. Had lunch at KFC at 2 plus, due to some latecomers... then we wanted to play pool at Paradiz. However, some complained the tables available were too small(=not fun) so in the end we changed to play DotA at LAN. Rui chao, Sean, eahy and me were in one grp, while Evan, Keith, Shaun and Jovian were in the other. First time using Pugner and found it quite nice to use. Since I only play it like once a few months, i haven't got to try out all the characters...

After that, we went to Evan's house, after Ruichao and Keith left, to continue our 201 party. Jeremy came with all the majong set and PS and we played themm aaalllllll the way till late night. Shaun and Jov left, while the rest of us stayed for the night. And did I mention that Evan's coms are S L O W ? Cant play Audition on his com T_T Otherwise could have had a mini-tournament among ourselves... Played DDR for so long until jiao ruan already... We played majong and u know what? I ALMOST got a Shi San Yao, just short of 3 tiles... T_T We slept only around 6am and woke up at 7am(except Evan who was still snoring away, haha), quickly packed up and left, tried to play majong at yu yan's house unfortunately he was going out for fishing, so after that all of us went home, and most importantly get some sleep...

Today had 1st day of mentoring camp, frankly it's a bit tiring but i'll blog more abt the whole camp tmr(hopefully) when it ends. Also, sry guys, i didn't bring extra home clothes and my mother already cooked my share of dinner so i couldn't go with u all tdy after the camp... tmr if u all r going out again i'll definitely go with u all, ok?

Oh yah, did i say that i don't know how to set up a tag? Would appreciate it if someone help out around this area...

Need to sleep to replenish energy...

Real Holidays r coming!

First thing to say is: PW OP is OVER!!!
I'll talk abt that later on...

Tuesday, was the PW OP eve for me but I was still very free. Went back to SJI in the afternoon to look at NP training, as in how is it, plus to get something back. Shi Wei was having OP the next day like me but he didnt go back(despite being a CI), so only Wei Yu and Johnsten was there. Really have to say that the standard of the squads r getting worse. Being Sec 1s, they cant fall out properly, cant do berhenti properly and can't even give the full turning commands. Recalling my sec1 b4 I was taking my 3rd class drill badge, we were just revising these things, and we had to learn the commands for rearranging the ranks of the squad. Sigh... When Sec2s were doing their push ups, they were putting their rifles ON their hands... omg... I'll like to see them do that for a real rifle...

Met, Daryl there who was doing his I&R in the annex. Helped to clarify the criteria of I&R for him and talked quite a bit abt Biology somehow. So, in the end the whole NP seem to end up doing drills the whole training and Mr Lee said quite a bit of stuff to the Unit. Seems like there are many things for CI to improve the unit on... Went home with Wei Yu, and accompanied him to borrow a book at Bishan library on the way. First time entering the building after passing by it so many times... New and clean as expected... and there were individual cubicles for readers to use for reading purposes. Haven't taken a closer look at the maths section though, I'll do it the next time i go.

Then, Weds was OP day. My grp was the first grp and I guess everything went well for my grp. All 5 of us were asked only 1 qn, hope I didnt look at my que cards too much... still need to come back on 15th at 10am for GPF and I&R... Went home immediately after lunch. Playing Audition and got the new patch with the Beat Up mode! All of u must really try this game!!! After 14th, holidays will finally start and I'll begin on finishing my Hw as soon as possible b4 Dec.

Had this very SiCk dream last night abt some pool... argh... Played throughout tdy for relaxation purpose...

AH... Tsubasa Chronicles is ending... T_T New season will start some time next year if i'm not wrong...

Read someone's blog post on how perspectives of friends towards each other can differ by a lot and personally i agree with it. U urself may see someone as ur best friend but he/she doesnt look upon u the same way and it hurts u when u find out abt it. Thats y some pple nvr put 100% trust in friends cos they experience such things b4. But there is really nothing u can do abt it, except to move on with life and treat it as another experience.

Oh ya and the earphone for my MP3 player is spoilt, only music no singing, need to get a new one...
Also, Happy belated birthday to Wei Yi!!! Next time 201 meeting must celebrate ur bday together, ok?

Unmei no michi... tsuzuku.

A-lvl MT over... now PW...

Cant rmb much what happened from Mon to Weds... only rmb Mon went back to sch to practise OP with my grp in sch, Tues stayed home did nothing.

Weds was OP 2nd dry run, after that went to watch The Guardian with Ashiq, Nigel and Shi Wei. Aparrently, Shi Wei was crazy that day, he was released early and went to watch another movie with his class first, when we agreed in the first place to watch movie after OP. In the end, he was late and we decided to watch The Guardian in the end. Frankly, I was displeased with his time management and him actually watching 4 hrs of movie in a row. It's bad 4 ur eyes, u know.

Thurs, finally found time to go Vivocity with my mother, bought good seats for Death Note, and enjoyed nice 2 hrs in the theatre. MUST watch the sequel Death Note: The Last Name!!! Didn't really study for Chinese exam the next day and watched more anime instead...

Fri, the A-lvl MT examinations. Was rather feeling unwell in the morning, for the first half an hour of the exam, I was feelng giddy and wrote my essay rather slow compared to normal speed. BUT the essay was alright, wrote a Yi Lun Wen, shouldn't get too low for that. Paper 2 was easy. In my opinion, the third passage was a rather well written piece, amusing at the same time as I read it. Hope I do get an A for A-lvl chinese. After that, I went to Suntec City with Wei Yu, Brendan and E Chum for lunch at... ... Kopitiam. Was going to the shop which Chum said was selling swords, but found that it was closed for some reason...

We went to the shop that was beside the Cinema selling figurines... lots of StarWars stuff, the others were rather excited... never watched a single Star Wars movie(or read a single book either) myself so was just walking around until i found something in the display outside the shop... an Evangelion Shougoki model with all the possible weaponry it can carry, costing $100. That's a WOW. I thought evangelion models are like extinct in Singapore since its like a ten-yr-old anime, nvr thought to see one in Suntec...

At first after Nigel joined us we decided to watch covenant, then Shi Wei who was again going to come was again late. Tell me, who takes 1 hour 10 mins just to travel from Orchard to Suntec? Totally ridiculous... So we changed to watching Flushed Away, despite Brendan having his curfew at 6. Meantime, we walked around the same floor and once again reignited the moe within me. 4 rows of those capsule machines, abt 200 of them. Those which i am really interested in cost $4 each, sadly i was low on cash that day emptied my wallet for that movie. There was also a shop beside that sells anime models. Again, what did i see?! Another Evangelion model onsale! This time it's a WOW. It's a limited painted edition of shougoki costing $370!!! If I had the money, i will sure come here to buy it. Saw loads of other Gundam models, some that I'm interested in costs $100 each and there was this rather big scale DOM Trooper that costs $700. Wonder who will buy it? Then there was this very interesting new stuff we saw. New generation of Jie Lian Huan(what do u call that in Eng?) in all exquisite shapes and sizes and name for each of them, but rather expensive $16 each.

OK. Finally, Shi Wei arrived and with Lynette. So, we had to buy another ticket for her. *sigh* U now know why he takes more than an hr to travel 3 MRT stops to Suntec... Movie was very enjoyable with the laughter and hilarious scenes. After the movie, I left with Brendan for home. Long day...

Sat, pretty much doing nothing. Playing Audition alone at home... cooked lunch for myself... watched anime in my own room... then followed by dinner and sleep...

Went to my cousins house, played Audition again... Realized that I haven't edited my I&R since that 1st draft. Almost forgotten abt it... Shall edit it tmr...

Tmr, having another OP practice with my grp mates.. last one b4 the actual OP...

My whole holidays are free, save for a few days like mentoring camp and CIP, so feel free to call me out anytime, else i'll just rot at home...
