its gonna be wordy.

main intro: ok these few weeks were damn busy.

wk 8
finally got a no.3 for UG open hse [but its gonna be returned =( sad...]
whole of week 8 was UG, UG open, and UG open house.
ug open hse finally took place on saturday 23rd Feb, which was a failure...ttl no of visitors <100, if my prediction doesnt fail me.our mock attack team, static display team and guides were so free that the whole open hse closed at 12 noon.

wk 9
straight after ug open hse is planning for annual camp. busy, stressed and tired.
this weeks a busy wk for the many tests, which ben tan felt unhappy (i mean, some of us were nothing against it and he was so tensed-up abt it). and one gd news for me...i passed amaths, finally!! although not very high mark (12/20) but i'm so overjoyed cos 60% is the highest mark of my life!! not like amaths pro who get 80% and still not happy (no offence)...

wk 10
was really annual camp, annual camp and still annual camp.
mock exams...were they easy? hard?

ace camp day 1
ace camp was quite a mixed feeling camp...its our last camp as a class...nvrtheless, 1st day was boring (study skills), food was also crappy, but highlight was the bowling...

ace camp day 2
day2 of ace camp much better...no study skills, but 2 blocks of 2hr courses (sex-ed and finance lit), then another 3hr sdc visit...lyk visit 3 times in previous yr alrdy, so, damn boring.but the finale night was exciting. fun atmosphere...

after ace camp straight into hols...but mine was spoilt due to

gess ncc unit annual camp 2008

introduction: gess ncc annual camp 2008 has been planned and will be run by intake 05, ncos 08. me, as the cas, will be very troubled with many many many many many other admin and log stuff during the camp. some things i take care include: regular strength check, medic records, log (flow of supplies), book in/out, and of course account for each and every cadet's attd. (well, thts my job)

day0: report at 1400, and prepared everything. was inside pe staff rm for camp manuals until 7++pm, even after most ppl had dinner. was like so tired out alrdy, even before camp really starts.

day1: finally annual camp officially started. at least 2 cadets were late for the camp...and another 2 claiming to be booking in but no specific time stated...thats the start of trouble. muster parade and open ceremony was ok (besides ava rm aircon screw up)...then was a little relax time before
lunch...and after tht bla bla bla...at 7.15pm i was unlucky enough to be called by this person-BCW to settle lots of things...took me 2hrs. missed the nite games. at least satisfied him...but for the first time i felt like a not-very-good cas.

day2: slept till quite late, and was told my only lesson for the camp was cancelled (wtf, thats my only activity with cadets for the whole camp!). nvm, but more bad news came when beh told us ubin trip was cancelled. altho i need not plan for emergency activities and was the ONLY nco not
affected directly by it, i was still a lil shaken as all other snr ncos were under stress, haiz... day 2 was also photo heavy...part b battle skirmish.

day3: clt zheng hui was a little crazy. he said wanted to bring up the mood for co nite. a company game was planned in emergency. its again more of photo taking for me. halfway my casio digitcam went batt flat. took beh's panasonic cam which quality was like...wtf!? and it auto shoots at least 1 or 2 extra shots for each snap of the shutter. lol so pissed off with it...buts thats life...what else can u complain abt? ARMS visit was noth much, and then back to sch was prep for co nite. zheng hui was rushing the video for co nite. i was late for co nite (at medic bunk, cooked 1 set of dinner for sick cadets). according to zheng hui co nite wasnt up to expectation. nvm, but a brainwash session by intake 04 left us sheik all over.

day4: break camp! but not as relaxed as you would think, i got a whole list of things waiting to be done-compile medic records, check classrm, bla bla bla, i had 6 things on the list. to be completed within 2.5 hrs. whats this? but nvm, still managed to go thru it...then there was no fd comp, straight go to dismissal parade, no closing ceremony, then was really dismissal. as usual and as expected, i was the last to leave (3pm) while others left at latest 1.30pm. cleared up ALL the mess left behind.

in general: thanks to all ppl who made my annual camp meaningful. wanna thank esp ppl in medic bunk for keeping me entertained (ops rm is too boring, theres only me) and those who got me breakfast in the mornings. thanks alot.

the post-annual camp life: after annual camp only came fatigue.

sch reopens!

1st week of term 2 is short. only 3 days! gd thing tues no trg, and thurs was sports fiesta, fri is gd friday.

sports fiesta: this yr is a disappointing year for 4h. we won numerous awards last yr but this yr we only had 2. besides, for myself too, its my first time in gess i go home empty handed after a sports event. hope can get someth in x cty.

good friday: basically stayed home can finish hol hw.

2nd week marks the REAL start of hardwork. but the start of 2nd wk was a health checkup. lol stayed with the reg no 30-40 in ava rm (just wanna skip morning assembly) we really need to work very very hard to get results, ok? and also finally return to duty. i was like damn enthu when doing trg plan on monday. like 3 wks nvr touch ms word alrdy. 28/03 marks the 20th sch trg of the yr.

3rd week is basically apr fool. many jacking here and there. i failed in this year's april fool.some april fool's jokes: ben n jerry "sold only one flavour" of ice cream, today reported that spore's gonna have and f1 team...like lol. nvm thats it.
mrs tan's fav sentence: "Sundra..."

valentine

ok firstly happy valentines day (belated) and td day.

this wk is quite interesting as sch is getting boring.

tdd was the most boring one i ever had in gess. i would say, last yr was better, though i didnt have much stripes then.

ok, and valentines day. well dont wish to talk much abt it.

and i failed quite a number of tests, and for those that i passed they werent too good. worst was geog (38%).

yes, things really change. nothing is constant except for change. but i hope things will change again, for the better. well, as you celebrate, i just wanna say, happy valentines day.

post #100.


okay this cny was a little fun+boring+exciting+wild+unhappy+joyous+... just dunno how to describe...

ah! thought of it!
mixed feelings!

lets see...
Day 30/Eve除夕
a normal, very very normal celebration in sch. well i would say i prefer the mood of natl day compared to cny celebrations. natl day mood was higher.
but nvm, went for some food and i noticed one thing. all chinese seem to have like went home. i was the only chinese in the 8 of us.

airport was the next thing. my father returned frm work and will stay until third day. then went home and slacked, really slacked all the way till 3am.

1st Day 初一
woke up quite late...then went out. first was of course 娘家, then 2 more home visits, dinner at rendezvous then home. collected 14 hbs (hongbaos).

2nd Day初二
again was the same thing. few home visits but totally no hbs today. managed to catch ah long pte ltd. was quite hilarious, and touching too.
so after the show and a quick bite, went home and tallied the total income for the two days. SGD184.10. well actually, i would say, its just a mid amt sum. not much either.

upload photos few days later.

why must i be trapped in such a difficult puzzle??

well
very well


yeah! on thursday was lucky enough to ensure i passed phy test, means i dun need to stay for ap on mon! that equates to 1hr every week...and for the 30 over weeks to o lvl, i would make more than a day! haha tht brings me to the assembly where we are supposed to collect ics but some rjc idiots took the mike and started talking crap abt recycling... waste time. rjc DONT EQUAL TO BIG SHOT OK?

nvm, well got our ic today IN THE MORNING WITH 1200 PPL.

today was a little tiring (slept for merely 5 and half hrs)... after the ic collection was test for emaths and spa for both sci (many graphs drawn) still had trg, and after trg (was tired out) still had specs conference...which was quite acheiving cos managed to plan out this term's activties. gooooooooooooood!

this weekend wont be a lazy one. have to start doing hw.

no...

the past two weeks has been too busy for me, i only have 30 mins online everyday, rest of the time has been mostly dealing with attendance shit.

anyway these 14 days have been quite tiring too. i sleep earliest 2330 and have to wake up at 0600 everyday. i even overslept to the extent that i missed the bus and was late. haha.

so i just wanna say that i finally managed to get some time out here to post.

......you shattered my heart.

ok slightly busy these few days so didnt manage to post, now finally managed to go to the edge of my hectic schedule n workload n take a breath...will be pulled back very quickly (once e phone rings, i'll get going again)

alright today was quite a fun day, two teachers drifted out of their subj n talked bout many other non-related things like aj talks abt soccer and chan talks abt dubai, etc. anyway today pe didnt do quite well, i let in 4 goals, wtf?!

el and em is getting boring!

respect your authorities! (to faisal n kisnaa)
haha joking anyway, nvm.

have you forgot to care about others' feelings?

sometimes, ppl do things,
w/o thinking bout how others feel.
makes it so obvious for them, delibrately breaking their hearts.
how would you feel if someone did tht to you?

i cousin of mine got into hosp. has a growth in betwn heart and lung.
anyway, hope u get well soon! be alive and kicking (and noisy) like you were!

so, went to nuh after simlim sq on sat. then dinner, and home. quite early.

sunday was as usual.

REVIEW 2007
PART 2/27

in general 2007 have been a yr of ups and downs. here i explain why (summarized):

UP: studies. jumped many ranks to improve frm 26 to 16 in class n 107 to 59 in lvl.
also got GPA due to this.

DOWNS: 1. cca career. decreased EQ due to heartbreaking incident in end 2006 caused me my cca future. 2. of course, the big problem itself.

next episode (esp 3): milestone dates



tired enough. wanna go slp.

i wanna go back to those days

"a weight is lifted, on this evening,
i give the final blow."

When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight.
It ends.
It has ended.
Orientation.
But an end always marks a new beginning.
A new bunch of Sec 1 kids, new faces, new cadets, and of course, new leaders of the future.

36 of them. on tuesday 08/01. Trg ref: T03/2008.
Let me break them down: 16 NT, 10 NA, 10 EXP.

we dont have e luxury to choose cadets, not like in the late 80s.
120 cadets signup.
fat got 30. OUT!
not exp got 40. OUT!
then left with 50.
i dont like this face, he more handsome than me, etc.
abt 10 of them. OUT!
tht was how they chose cadets. and they have left with 40.
if we do this now, we would be left with maybe 8-12 ppl. haha.

No offence,
but, its not we don't want them, its just that its diificult to maintain them.
Contradiction here.
Its not at all difficult, its "one in a million". Theres only "one in a million" of those that we consider out who really keeps their passion going for four long years.
Nvm. see how on fri.

And, We just learned in Geog,
SINGAPORE IS NOT A DEVELOPED COUNTRY!
well, neither is it developing, of course.
Then what?
ok, s'pore, according to Mdm Zah, is a "advanced developing country".
cos, we dont have technology (wht abt creative, keppel n SAR21?)
and don't have the social etiquette and manners all. (quite true)
3Ks, Kiasu, Kiasi, Kia zeng-hu.
Vulgaraties. No social discretion. Unappropriate attire. No care for public property. No sense of cleaniness (s'pore is clean due to cleaners and fines).

thats why.

09/01
SS: boring. fun. however u can describe it. i think 99.999% (5sf) will choose e former.
PHY: okay. normal.
PE: same, no diff. oohh, i managed a clean sheet.
REC: caught by DT for nvr chg back.
EL: zzz....
CD: "
EM: surprise. didnt study but did quite well. i think i got it all drilled in alr, since last yr.

aft sch went to gess ctr. oh DT suggested a good idea! cut short PE! yay! all agreed!
PE will end early for us to change, then dismiss for recess at 1110. then we have enough time!

here comes the highlight.
REVIEW 2007 (1/27) INTRODUCTION/FOREWORD
this is the first of a 27-episode series abt last yr. enjoy.

07 have not been quite a gd yr, failing in relationships, frm one side of classrm blk to another.
also failing in my cca life due to my failed EQ across the intake.
however i excelled in studies. (not really, but gd improvement)

shall write more in the next episodes.

keep things small

haha. 2day decentralised e trg pln to indv pltn lvl
means easier work load for me.
however my acas, pt c pas, dun even know how to use word,
so hv to teach him, which was a waste of: time (talk to him),
$$ (he call me),
electricity (online), which in turn pollutes e earth.
see how serious is it? nxt time learn how to use ms office.

in sch
4 st prds of el (2 b4 sch, 2 first prds), killing. phy was goddamn terrible. no bk, no file.
geog was still ok, slighty sian (as usual) n am still uncomprehensible for me.
phy pt 2 test n to my OWN surprise i could get 32/33! **applause**
actually some of them quite last min, like the avg spd of train/the jet engine.
finished geog last min and handed in, nt like some ppl bring home and do, tmr hand in b4 725.
mind you, zah is diff frm chan. zah's 2day means 2day. no tmr morn. haha, gd luck to you!
