Mid-sem Break.
This mid-term break was a well-loaded one. Too loaded that i do not even have time to blog bout the week properly. This entry is just gonna be full of pics and dull sentences. Enjoy!
SaturdaySoccer at clementi. Apparently we couldnt play at NUS as the courts were used up by really smart cricketers who thinks playing cricket on hard concrete ground would make game more interesting. So we went to a nearby clementi court which was SO tiny, even the goalkeeper could kick in a goal from his end. Invited Nigel and his gang, and apparently, his whole gang are Leonard's sec sch buddies! The world is a friendster.
SundayThis day was quite interesting. I went to help out in a fund-raising thingy, which had me knocking on the flats of Boonlay asking for old newspapers, old clothes or old household appliances. A karang guni thingy. Its kinda what i did in famine camp last time, but this time i meet much more interesting people at the doors of which i knocked.
One auntie gave me bottled drink and biscuits. Another auntie attempted to ask for my number! Gosh. Nah dun think too much. She had not prepared her things to be given and wanted to call me back in the afternoon. The most weirdest of all situations would be this old uncle i met at the door. When i rang the door bell he opened the door and stared at me with his dark specs. I asked (in chinese) "Do you have old newspapers.." and he replied immediately "Aghhhh.." I continued, "Do you have old clothes..." and he replied again "Aghhhhh.." Then we stared at each other for 10 seconds, after that he said "Orghhhhhhhhhh..." then he went to his storeroom and brought me a... KETTLE. I almost died.
MondayProject meeting in the morning at National Library. After that studied in the afternoon a bit.
The fine art of 'Leonarding'. Dont 'Leonard' too much.
Chris's pek-cek face after joel (opposite him) made him re-explain physics answers a million times. I swear, murder almost took place.
At night me, nigel & joyce went to sing K.
I look super unglam.

TuesdayBuy-present-party reported at town to accomplish their selfless mission of buying presents. Remember. Selfless.
WednesdayOne of my army friend will be flying to oxford the next day, so we had to really get him drunk on his last night in singapore. We dinnered at brewerkz then crossed over to iguana. Extreme alcoholic night.
"I could have 10 of these.."
Dun ever EVER try the chilli shot from Cafe Iguana. Im freakin serious. Unless you wanna saboh your fren to a humiliating end.
Drunk Kao
Its probably the company that kept me sane during army. My platoon mates.
ThurdayLeonarding the whole day. Slept a bit. Have to enjoy holiday mah.

How to Plan and Execute Birthdays.
Ultimate Birthday Planner Version 1.0by MJ
Initial Phase Alpha aka the Msg-ppl Stage1) Decide whether the random person/s is worth celebrating for. Talk about the person/s, discuss in msn, bitch about his/her past, have a final conclusion. Write a 500-word report on the person if necessary. Once done and approved, the person/s is a confirmed
Celebratee.
2) Elect
Main-Organising-Person (MOP). But usually the MOP elects himself because only he would bother, and usually the MOP dun really know he's the MOP at all.
3) MOP elects his
Assistant MOP. The AMOP usually has no choice about this and is obliged to help.
4) MOP enquires about the celebratee's availability. MOP is allowed to decide the date/s. MOP is allowed to persuade/psycho celebratee to be available for a date which MOP wants.
-Celebratee is strictly not allowed to 'pangseh' the celebration once he/she is booked.
5) Once the dates are confirmed, AMOP will msg the rest of the attendees asking on their availabilities for these dates. AMOP is expected to report the status of the replies to the MOP asap. Only MOP is allowed to decide if celebration is to be executed. MOP should be smart, and not give the go-ahead if only 3 out of 20 ppl replied 'yes'.
-Attendees have the privilege to 'pangseh' the celebration due to unforseen circumstances, but strictly not advisable to. Note: The immediate best-friend of celebratee is excluded from this privilege, and is obliged to turn up, rain or shine, lame or blind.
Note: Information on Venue/Date not required for the msging in this phase.
Initial Phase Bravo aka the Buy-Present stage1) Examine the budget. Consider significance of birthday eg. 21st-birthdays should worth more. Consider significance of person. <--HAHA
2) Either MOP or AMOP decides on date to buy the present, and drags along a few more attendees to form the
Buy-present-party (BPP). Max no. of members in BPP should be 6, cos too many people will pull down focus.
3i) Brainstorm on the present (optional)
3ii) Get rough idea on present and roam the shops in town on buy-present day. (recommended)
4) MOP elects the
Treasurer to pay for everything first (can be himself or AMOP) Once presents are bought, AMOP will calculate the individual costs for attendees to return, write in black&white for MOP, with receipts stapled (No photocopies allowed!) and MOP will analyse and confirm the costs. MOP can choose who brings home the presents to safekeep, although volunteerism is usually encouraged.
Initial Phase Charlieaka Decide the Venue/Date/Time-Phase Charlie not necessary have to come after Phase Bravo.
1) Decide Venue
-MOP gets the final say on the venue of celebration. Consider places which are value for money and religious-friendly. MOP will attempt to make a booking if necessary.
2) Decide Date/Time
-Decide on whether its a lunch or dinner (by checking the availability status of attendees, maybe some cant make it for evening but free at noon etc). Decide a time strategically, eg. ppl might come late so if you intend to meet at 7pm set it at 630pm. Attendees strictly not allowed to question about this strategy.
3) MOP/AMOP will msg the celebratee and attendees on final details. Format as follows:
-Say Hi
-State Venue
-State Date
-State Time
-Say have a nice day
Attendees encouraged not to pangseh if they have already agreed to turn up in previous reply.
Attendees strictly not allowed to ask who are the ppl coming, as this question is a forbidden question to ask, as explained in a previous theory.
Actual Day Phase Alphaaka Buy-the-Cake Phase1) MOP is allowed to nominate an attendee to go early to buy the cake. If not AMOP will go, but allowed to fight back. Only the buyer of the cake can choose the cake, even MOP cannot argue about the cake if its no nice. Buyer must ensure cake has no alcohol content if there are halal attendees.
2) Buyer must report price of cake to MOP/AMOP to include in costs.
Actual Day Phase BravoTurning-up phase1) MOP must ensure attendees remember to turn up. And turn up with their money. All are encouraged to draw money before arrival, unless late.
2) Some restaurants require 50% attendance at booking time for booking to be valid, so attendees are encouraged to be punctual. MOP is allowed to k-b at late attendees, and they cannot k-b back.
Actual Day Phase Charlieaka Celebration PhaseStrictly a happy occation. No one allowed to sised or pispa. Celebratee make wish & blow out candles, and attendees must sing birthday song, cannot say dowan. Celebratee remember to receive present. Take many photos, make fruitful conversation, and guys strictly not allowed to talk about army.
Final PhaseOption 1
Say goodbyes, cry if possible, dont be shy to hug. If its late guys must send girls home. Most importantly, Treasurer please collect your money by the day itself, and make sure you dont make a blardy loss.
Option 2
Proceed to somewhere else for afterparty supper/drinks. Most importantly, Treasurer please collect your money by the day itself, and make sure you dont make a blardy loss.
Option 3
Everyone sits down patiently while the treasurer makes his calculations meticulously, because he is making a blardy loss.
Holiday next week?
I dunno what to blog about!
And when you dunno what to blog about you simply ramdomly type down the first thing that comes to your mind at the moment and that is
I dunno what to blog about!
And by doing this you kinda increase the weightage of your post although what you typed so far has certainly nothing to do with what your post is going to be about, but you just carry on typing and typing cos its fun to be typing about nothing! And you figured you should start thinking about what you should type about cos if not this post would be another useless waste-time-post and the pretty pic of joycey with her pretty thin face would just be pushed lower and lower till you cant see her pic anymore.
Monday
Monday was so fun, so extremely fun cos we could sit for 2 tests consecutively and that is certainly fun cos tests are fun. Fun fun fun fun fun. Its even MORE fun when you see 50/100 marks staring at your face after you spent so much time trying to understand the subject.
Tuesday
Tuesday was much better fun when i super duperly screwed up my marketing presentation big time. Its kinda fun when the tutor says "the presentation is an F9.." and you still have to smile and be happy about it.
Wednesday
Accompanied someone who just got her new macbook to town to get a lappie case. She's pretty happy with her new toy, and was kinda excited when she actually mastered how to plug in the power chord! Something which she actually tried doing all night! Haha. Macs are nice. I always support looks. Looks before practicality. She was thinking whether to get a flowery flowery case, but its made of sponge, no shock protection. So she got a blue memory-foam one. Phew. If she had gotten the previous, no one would help her carry her lappie! Period. She only has us GUY tutorial friends. Hahaha.
Today (Thurs)
Laboratory lesson. We did electrolysis. And for this experiment we had to wear labcoats, and I shit you not, these labcoats freakin increase your intelligence by 300%! I couldnt believe the words i was speaking when we were discussing the experiments, eg. redox reaction/ the blue colour is the Cu ions/ the bubbles are hydrogen which comes from the electrolyte/ lets take pictures of this sample lab report and copy, using our damn camera phones/ and etc. Really. I was damn intelligent during lab. Until the lab lesson was over and i took off the coat, i became stupid again.
Had dinner in the most high class place in the universe. NTU quad. Somehow my bag was open. And somehow a cup of unfinished milo was on the table. And SOMEHOW a gast of wind blew the cup of milo into my bag with remarkable accuracy. Excellent. My judo GI was in my freakin bag! My GI now has a patch of what looked like blood stains. It looked like i DIED DURING TRAINING
Judo today was super fun cos we could spar. 1 minute free for all with your opponent. After vigorous wrestling with good ol' Nigel i was slammed at the 50th second. Haha. You got me this time ok. Next week its TO THE DEATH
Ok one more test to go tomorrow. Life sciences. Crazy subject. Chrissy, you crazy girl! please teach me about DNA RNA and ATGGACCTGAATTTGGATTAG. its so alien.
Supposed to put this pic up long ago. Our new hairdos. She was supposed to have curls, fyi.
Taken from Joycey's Mac. Guess what. I think i look tons better as a cartoon character. Stan Lee should make a comic out of me!
Ok im done.
Today was a happier day!
I'm freakin sised. Haha.
Monday was a
rather Shitty day.
Hope tuesday is welcoming.
Dun wanna be old.
Im so gonna die cos i am super unprepared for the CAs next week. Whenever i sit down to revise i get tired easily and lose concentration. Even studying requires stamina. Running 12 km is no kick compared to studying! But i dont wish to fail. Someone please wake me up, this is not JC anymore. This is freakin university. I need a brainzap.
I used to support hair to be natural black. But when i realised that there were some strands of white hair on my head, I threw away all that bullshit thinking. Away with the natural! Whoever supports natural should just go hug a tree. Heheh. So today me and hh went for a hair-changing experience.
Reddish brown. Only look like this in sunlight.
Hh was kinda pissed cos his hair was too brown and not red enough, and he now looks like an ahbeng!
And joyce rebonded her hair the same day too, so now everyones gonna think we went to the salon together! Gosh. This me-and-her scandal will go on forever.
Random.
This Picture is Ownage. Rawr!
Joel and his Sonar-Mode Superhuman Ability. I now have 2 Joels in my life! Gosh.
Me trying to be Batman. Batman rocks. He is the most powerful superhero.
This is 'Laboratory' Lesson.
Blardy cool huh.
Out.
About.
About LifeIts packed like shiat right now, either that or maybe i dont know how to juggle time. Realised that its already into the 6th week, and some CAs will already be next week, and i have not even settled down to my revision at all. And with the meet-ups and the birthdays and the projects and the cca and the late dismissals, i wonder if i even have time for fun stuff. Or rest. If only i can control time. Or maybe if i could have a huger brain capacity to absorb everything at a faster rate. Maybe then i can enjoy peace.
About SchoolSchool is just like before. Lectures. Tutorials. Dozing off during both. You sought to understand, but the discipline is not there. You rush to complete tutorials. You lose the concentration for each subject as there are too many. Feeling demoralised cos you cant do question one on your tutorial.
About New FriendsI remember many people telling me and zua-ing me that if i do not attend any orientation camps, i will not have any friends. And life would be a sad sad sad one, and that i will eat lunch alone and attend lectures alone and cry alone in my own lonely corner. Bull-Shiiiat. I have great ntu friends now. And 2 great go-to-school buddies. And fun tutorial mates. How about that.
About FuntyApparently we are still alive, due to birthdays, people flying away, people flying back, soccer-craving and of course, undying friendship. I just wish the girl-side would be more 'pro-active' when a girl's birthday is coming. Really cant expect a guy or two to choose a skirt or whatnot. Everyones busy too. It just requires effort.
Our theories.
Its hilarious how i try to explain 'SISED' to my tutorial mates. They seem to understand it quite well, even coming up with a new one called PARTNER IMPOSED STRATEGIC PHYSICAL ABUSE (PISPA) which means getting someone to injure and give you bruises and get others to take pity on you. Quite similar to SISED just that it requires you to be in REAL pain. Heh.
School is tiring.
fiona day!!!!
Shouldnt be bloggin now, cos i have soccer tmr morning and should be doing my endless tutorials too, so i will just go to the highlight of the day, and the picture sure do speak a thousand words:
Joyce, !! FIONA !!, me
Channel U rocks.
