at qinhongs request here comes an post about what happened during the class outing.

[edit] be forewarned its so boring...i fell asleep writing it.

aniwae went down to school first of all to watch the orientation...this years theme was hollywood. they had this life-sized lara croft model at the front door. other than that however it was pretty boring..for me. mebbe i had fun i dunno. i sure as hell didn't. spent 30 mins wandering arnd and toking cok with PA crew members...hmm sharp features. Tracy is it?. Haha...

So i went home. And joel came to school.

After failling to persuade me to walk back all the way to school to join him...he wisely decided to just wait for me on the bus to suntec.

So we trudged down to suntec 10 mins early only to find...absolutely no one there.

20 mins later they finally......................................nope still no one there.

Brian was the first one to walk in leisurely followed by esther and wanzhen who just came back from their bank jobs. And qiuyu and muifong who apparently came early but decided to go shopping instead. Wateva happened to meeting at 5.30 at Suntec delight?

Then we drifted from fish and co...lingered lovingly at the foodcourt b4 turning to subway since neither qiuyu nor i had tried it. And i wasn't prepared to pay 4 bucks for hawker food which i got for 2.50 everyday.

it wasn't that bad actually 7 bucks for a full set. Then we sat and tok cok about jobs and job agencies and about army and the taiwan trip..eh joel bought something for u qh. YC dropped by half an hour late from his morale education and design and tech relief job at bedok north secondary school. Fiona dropped in an hour later from dunnoe where. And yx dropped in just when we were about to leave haha... Brian and Yaochen also raised alot of IQ brain twisters dunno where they hear one. Posed for a photo and joel and i left cos joel had GV farewell dinner and i was feeling damm exhausted already. Dunno whether they continued to do anything else after that...but judging from the ppl who went and the fact that it was 9+ already i doubt they did anything else.

Other misc stuff: skirt count 4 out of 5

just recently got access to the cosplay pics...and since they all suck i'm just going to leech off otherpeoples hard work.btw i dun noe who this guy is but he is good. the picture is deceptive hes actually 2.2 m tall (2.5 if u count the tip of the wings) sugoi ne~ 

spent the new year drunk and semi unconscious.

not a very good start...but damm it felt good to do something...different for a change.

like my primary school english teacher used to say..u should try everything once. she cited smoking.

I think they fired her soon after that.

another primary school teacher(quite chio ne) gave us answers to the end of year examinations 2 months early. they fired her too.

never really had much luck with teachers...oops digressing.

the happiness evaporated soon after and the melancholy sent in. god for like what 6 7 bucks a pop they sure as hell didn't last long. not very good for money eh.

dunno lar i have been feeling like this for 2-3 weeks. Its not because of NS i think. I have been thru npcc for 4 years...didn't like it one bit was 4 years of chinese speaking hell every weekends. But if theres one thing i learned i can take amazing amounts of boredom. And the pt won't be a problem for me i'm at least sure of that.

In fact its the present that preoccupies me..at least for now. If they start throwing blanket parties and having gay orgies in the bed besides me..then mebbe i'll start worrying about NS and wat it brings.

For now...i just feel like building my own fireplace and curling up beside it. Hopefully with alyssa milano and a hot tub thrown in afterwards. But since i'm not rolling arnd in dough..i think i'll make do with what i have. hot milo and a nice stack of anime. heaven on earth ~

being at the esplanade on new years eve made me realise how much people there really are in singapore... and for a moment i thought how great it would be if we all linked hands and sang together just once as a one big happy family...then some raver sprayed me. thanks a lot buddy. LUVu~ and PEACEisu~ can go to hell.

stil haven't pinpointed wats been bothering me. mebbe it will come to haunt me in a clearer form some day. i just noe that a lot has happened this year. stuff i feel has show me how immature i am..yet made me more mature at the same time. so for now i think i'll spare the "FUCK THIS SHIT" and "FUCK U WORLD" and say "FUCK U TELETUBBIES!!"

tatts all folks tahnk you very much.

wah lau marietta ambush me on msn yesterday and ask me to help her out with my blog layout. so i added a profile and tagboard to it. blog skin coming later. From the looks of it however its just gonna look empty and pretty. Might as well get the chioest skin i can find. Aniwae my side bar is umm...cleaned up. Study progress was still there. As was some broken and unupdated links. Maries's blog is now there too. Oi marie u better update your own blog ah.

and WTF?! i lost all my ns stuff. my preenlistment letters, my pes certificate my ns handbook, and other stuff that OMFG! i do not even know about. Sigh i'm screwed for ns.

Public morning musume tracker taken down...suprnova taken down...arggh what is the world coming too...and just before the amended singapore copyright law comes into place. hmmm. Veery Suspicious.

Damm u authorities! Must u take away my only source of enjoyment?!

In other news i've been hitting the gym alternate days. Results aren't showing however. Which confirms what i have been thinking all along. I'm an ectomorph. Oh well i'm giving it another 2 years (not by choice).

About the only thing i did besides playing xueqis ps2 and watching anime is attending my classmate Revat's singing at this CC thing together with qiuyu weiteen and huayching. For those not in the know revat is also my mummy...although how that came abt..i have no idea. Aniwae shes pretty good she passed the first round of vasantham(sp?) star audition. Supposedly Singapore idol for Indians. if she makes it thru the second round she goes into the finals which will air around jan 20 i think..support her for me k? cos i'll be in the army...buu. gives me the shivers whenever i think abt it.

haven't been blogging much this past week gomen. cos my sisters are home most of the time and i have returned to sleeping early most nights (relatively heh) .

And heres a blow-by blow account of the week
Aniwae originally had cosplay this saturday...first blow came relatively early on our first meeting. Xueqi couldn't make it for cosplay cos she had to go overseas again. Spent the first day going about looking out mostly for odds and ends to make a costume. Second day was spent getting cloth from Chinatown. Second blow came on the third day Tk was grounded on saturday. Thanks to neko-chan ya li and tks grandmother sewing i now have a jacket. Got a purple turtleneck that looks damm gay on me from my mother. Spend 6 hours sawing and filing a stupid block of wood to get a kunai..and when we found out that stella wasn't cosplaying anymore(3rd blow STRIKE!) and that the block of wood probably wasn't going to turn out to be a kunai we changed it to a assasin knife instead. Still have to work a bit on it. Pushed cosplay back a bit and changed alliance from Singapore Anime Club at Jurong to Shiro Tsubasa at Singapore Expo. Which still owes me money btw. So the confirmed date is on 26th december. Which means that i dun have to trudge through town looking like a fool on public transport. YAY! Hopefully more people can make it on that day.

http://www.daphnekhoo.com/audio/ for all your Singapore idol needs. Dead beat going to sleep...

Tooday wasn't quite as wasted as previous days...but still quite wasted.

Went down to grand copthorne whatchamacallit for a "job" interview. Which was basically just this lady coming into this room packed full of boys and picking them off one by one. Aniwae i got a B which translates to just average and since i didn't really help myself i can't really blame her. Although she did have this funny habit of assesing people by just staring at them. As if she could read their auras like that come on lah ask a bit more personal questions. She kept looking at me funnily. As if she couldn't decide whether i was with the beng group or not. Wierd.

Supposedly some harmonica ppl are going caroling in dec..so i rushed back to school to try and catch them...only to see them leaving on the bus opposite. Sigh.

Walked back home and have been playing Disgaea ever since. I just breached the 40 hour mark an hour ago. Its starting to look less stellar now there i'm halfway into the game. Basically in between missions they expect you to train in the ITEM WORLD...so in between each mission the enemies can jumpo like up to 5 levels. But hey wat do u expect from me? I can't be bothered to train that much with no story. So at one point my main character was level 40...at least 10 levels above the nearest character. On hit K.O. Sigh the thing is its only fun while your playing everybody as a group..so i spent 10 hours levelling 5 chars to the same level as him. What a waste of time. At least now i get core group of 6 characters to play with...out of 40. Bleah.

hopefulluy tmr will be much better...going to watch ocean twelve and signing up at the mpcc gym. About time i get some muscles already. I need 50 for membership though...and my salary hasn't arrived yet!!! ARGGHHGH!

wheres my money i want my money arrr...

Working at my fathers drink stall is quite an eye opener actually...yeah sure joo chiat has fewer hookers and brothels but we do have our fair shair of budget hotels, ktv lounges and entirely legit, pure and wholesome massage parlours :)

So imagine my surprise when this middle aged ndian guy came in with some chio chinese chick in hot pants. None entirely :) however i took it upon myself as a concerned citizen of my neighbourhood watch community to monitor any err hemm 'underground activities' Voyeurs unite!

*warning* the following contains highly mature sexual themes, graphic descriptors of underage sex, nudity and violence. Just kidding :)

Basically to cut a long story short he had his fat grubby fingers all over her, while she was trying very hard not to look too disgusted and bored...and as he was whispering sweet nothings to her in another attempt to get in her pants. After a while they began to notice me staring at them.

Her look said :" Hey boy when u get older and mature like me, when u realise that the government screws u over and takes half your money, when your bf runs off with another girl and your virginity, when you get AIDS from some bisexual sod u met in a club... u would be so willing to sleep with fat middle aged guys for money too"

His look said :" I'm paying these girls way too much...mebbe i shld switch to prepubescent boys? hmmm"

EWWW. Gross. take it somewhere else puhleeze.

Dropped by serenes house on tuesday to look at her com...couldn't do anything much. Darn thing wouldn't crash the whole time i was there and i ahev no idea wats wrong with it. So i ended up watching her pack and playing around with the stuff on her com. Lydia called 2 hours in and umm asked where the hell i was basically so i left for cell group at Cheryls house. Which had a grand total of 4 people including me when i arrived. turns out that they had a retreat the weekend before and every one was so tired that i think they just skipped out on us. or went overseas for the hols. So in the ended we just skipped all the church stuff and ended up watching Shrek 2 instead :) Ohhh yeaaah.

Turns out that Cheryl has a drum set so Crystal taught us how to jam out a few basic pieces. Quite fun actually. Turns out that Cheryl family is going to buy another drum set and are looking for takers for this old one. $600. i told them to wait for my 2 months of ns salary before i'd be able to afford it.

Can't really remember what else i did that day...must have been that hangover from playing games well into the night. I do remember that Cheryl has this young brother called brian. Who for some reason took a liking to me. Hes quite adorable...by himself. kinda reminds me of the kids in the camp. I miss them awww...i have no wish of taking them again however. My ego is still bruised from the last time.

Arrgh my eye they hurt...

Come to think of it ever since the hols started i haven't been playing much 'cept for the occasional Final Fantasy Tactics battle...what with the job and all. Just started on The Longest Journey and Disgaea.

The Longest Journey is fairly easy to classifiy...its basically sci-fic Monkey Island. U noe clickity-click here and there. The thing is i'm like 4 hours in...and its hasn't reached the end of the first disc yet. I dun think its even halfway there. Puzzles are inventive...but unless u got a walkthrough in your hand there no way your going to noe that your supposed to put that clamp on that rope and tie a rubber ducky around it to fish out that invisible key thats stuck in railroad. Thankfully that has only happened twice so far....anymore way out puzzles and its that close to the bin for me. The only thing thats keeping me going so far is the story and the atmosphere...this baby's got it all down pat. Its starting to look like a keeper...

Disgaea on the other hand...is sorta the opposite. Less emphasis on the story...and more emphasis on the dope. Cos this thing is just whacked. Think of it as a cross between Final Fantasy Tactics, Psycho le Cemu and Excel Saga. Its clockful of strategy, parodies and crazy characters. While the strategy games like FFTU just rely mainly on power leveling and equipping the most powerful shit u can get your hands on...Disgaea forces u to rethink that. Sure if your high powered u can bulldoze your way through..but 3 levels within your own it gets freaking hard if you want everybody to survive. theres team attacks, combos, tossing people around, geopanels, an assembly where demons come together to vote on your proposals, and get this...Within each item there is a world called the Item World. And within them Residents and Specialists. And u can move them between items. Its absolutely hilarious.

So if u dun see me anythime soon...i'm rushing through Disgaea to pass back to xue when she gets back home. Tata.

So what happened on prom hmm..

Well headed down to marina square for a while and walked around with joel and qh. Went to Long John Silver first to eat...but they had no fish only chicken left..so we went funan to try our luck but eveything was close...so we headed back to Long John Silver and...it was closed as well. Bloody dipshticks. Ended up surviving on a Mushroom Moshie(sp?) and 200g worth of sweets from 7-eleven.

Later went to ritz carlton to wait for my classmates...they said wait outside at 1045 but what time was it supposed to end? 12 o'clock. Nevermind i thot that they would at least take the courtesy of coming out early if they asked us to come down at that time but nooo they came out at like 1230. So we waited for 2 hours outside there doing stupid (and gay shit). Luckily crystal from band came out with her camera to meet her bf so we could take a look at how pretty(or ugly?) everyone looked in their itsy bitsy dresses and their quadruple layers of makeup. Not too bad hehe...i wished she had brought out some water. And then another one of the band ppl came out..asked him to come with orange juice but came back with plain water instead. haiz. We ended up talking abt how sianz the prom was how small the food was and how taufiks band came with no taufik blah blah. Even the ppl who crashed didn't stay inside for too long...stole a peek at Haniza in her pimp outfit. Sweet. Definitely a lot different from all the usual dresses.

Finally everyone came out and just when we thought we could head over to Sonia's house...they decided to go clubbing instead. WTF? Hello umm couldn't they have warned us beforehand or wateva. I hate it when ppl dun plan properly...in the end we waited outside chinablack for like what half an hour debating abt whether to pay 16 dollars to spend one hour inside and then hate over to sonia's house...or to just leave there and then. saw Michelle with Baolin in a nice black outfit..hmm or any other occasion i would have said she looked pretty hot...but ermm there were a lot of other girls there. She did say before that she wasn't going to the prom but was heading for the party afterwards...so no suprise there.

finally we headed over to Sonias house..spent some time stocking up on drinks and food at seven eleven and then we spent like half an hour again trying to find the house. Saw this cat/rabbit? that was run over by a car. Poor girl. i hope it wasn't a cat. watched The day after Tomorrow with DTS and a overhead projector...sweet. Sonia is a DVD pirate :)U shld see the collection that she has..i think she qualifies for prosecution under the copyright act. Slept for 2 hours before heading over to the camp. Arggh.

Fucking Exhausted.

Not worth it i think...i dun want to spend my holidays this way. Apparently the other two people feel this way too, this girl called Nadia from VJC and this guy Ivan from NUS. They are so sianz already somemore the camp is just following after this. I am supposed to have a one more camp on week 3...but i dun think i want to take that too. We were able to get this job partly because we could come for more than 2 weeks. Aniwae we will see how it goes. Prob i'll do the frank thing and tell it like it is seewhther they can find a replacement...

Anyway i want to award some prizes to the most errm..colorful characters.

Most foul-mouthed- John. called someone "a big fat fuck" and taught me(and everyone else too) how to say gay, shit and damm in malay. Winnar :)

Most wtf is that- Issac. For sprouting random confusing trivia everywhere he goes.

Most useless toy i have ever seen - Mighty Bean. "nuff said

Most dao fellow- Nicholas Chioy (there are two nicholas). Will wander around in circles around me while i talk.

And i hope kenneth gets a heart attack and dies from all the cholesterol in his arteries. fat loser i feel like slapping him for bullying all the younger kids.

I'm never gonna get kids. ever.

And by the the end of the week if the parents dun sue me or ask for refunds i think it'd be a bloody miracle.

lets see...i ask this fat kid to keep his big fat mouth shut. Twice. I taught them oh shit, damm and oh my gawd and came vey close to teaching them fuck...and after my despeate attempts to tell them those are very, very bad words...they caught on and started repeating them. two of the kids under my charge got hurt. one had stubbed his toe on some unidentified metalloid substance the other got his eye poked with a pvc insulation cover. And some p5 kids managed to manhandle me. Little hellfire brats. May them rot in hell. Or in the "Asshole Saturn" that they so lovingly came up with. Space and Rocketry 2004 indeed...

Actually there were quit a few gems...like this jap guy called tsumogu and this bright kid called issac. I bet issac is going to be popular with a lot of girls when he gets older...hes got the doe-eyed thing going on...girls just love that i supposed. there were some horrible ones however who didn't want to learn anything...so i just ignored them. Another oops? haha i dun really care now lah...might come up with a better description on friday when it all comes to an end...

And umm when i sent my mum to the airport on her trip to israel with New Harvest on monday there was this crazy lady spreading the love at changi airport by doing some early "carolling". her repertoire consisted of only 2 songs from what i heard (and mind you i heard for quite a bit...i was there for 3 hours) umm "yue liang dai biao wo de xing" and "silent night" And she mangled the lyrics for silent night. What a traversety. i hope she was carried away in handcuffs or alternatively never get laid for the umm emotional trauma she dealt to all the church going faithful who were there. And if u haven't guess yet...i wasn't one of them. The faithfully-going-church people. Still dunno what to do abt that...but thats another story.

went to animaxation at expo with emi, tk and yuki on saturday. Nothing much to see there most of the stuff we weren't that interested in like 350 books on lighting and rag-doll physics or comic books(the american kind). Half of it space devoted to a wide-screen tv that was playing a (badly) dubbed version of getbackers on animax which shld be arriving soon. Sad to say...i 've better quality subtitled versions of that..so i dunno whether i shld subscribe or not. Still kazuki is the chioest ('',)

yuki and i also signed up with shiro tsubasa which is actually miyuki anime club renamed....shiro stands for white and tsubasa stands for wings..but according to emi as the white is an adjective it shld act be shiroi tsubasa...haha the mac ppl try to gek seh plus the tsubasa part sounds wierd...reminds me of football for some reason... it looks like thats the only way i would be able to keep in touch with jap culture lovers for the next two years so y not. And tk is in denial...eh boy i say that your qualified to be an otaku :)

afterwards went out to eat pastamania. But tk and i were so sick that everything tasted liek paper...so we left like 2/3 pasta on the plate...and emi left like half on the plate bcos it was too hot. We could have just umm like ordered 2 plates...and save the farmers, factory processors, the wholsale distributors the importers the chefs the waitresses a whole lot of trouble :)

aniwae i got a job from tuesday to friday at some educational centre...training was today. Pay is abt 140 for 4 days from 9-5 me and this other guy get to take charge of 18 boys and 1 girl (score!) , all around primary school. Its about rocketery and science...and they are supposed to build a rocket as their main project for all the four days...which me and the other guy called ivan finished in 2 hours. They have other supplementary projects too...but we finished them all too. so iam not really sure how they can stretch it into 4 days...they have been doing this for 5 years so far so i suppose they now what they are doing. I'm supposed to be extroverted and forward apparently so i'm not sure what i'm going to do abt that...conjure up my happy happy konno face for a bit? the other guy is in uni already so hes taking all the upper primary and i'm taking the lower primary paper. The pay isn't that good lah...like abt 4 an hour..but now that i have taken the job i realise i have a larger responsibility than that towards my employers...i have a responsibility as well towards the kids and their parents. And considering that they are licensees of the prog from the usa which means that a large proportion of the money is paid overseas and that they can only hope to hold camps during the holidays...its a fair deal. Neko-chan hontoni gomenasai, i can't go and buy your ps2 on tuesday. Unless you all schedule it for after 6 lah...

First time in eons that i'm updating my blog...abd blogger crashes. Figures.

Aniwae bio was a blur finshed early and went to take a toilet break b4 stoning for like another 10 mins abt halo2.

After it ended i went roaming around bedok for a while with the class guys. Apparently the Rome Total War (pirated call the police! ) that Yx bought was spoilt...so we went to exchange. No dice. Shop closed. So i ended up making my way to expo instead for sitex. Bloody guards wouldn't let ppl in b4 11. I was rewarded however by the sight of 2 models trying to pad their *ahem* costumes. yay free show anyday is a good day.

Came back to parkway just in time for k-box with the guys and cheryl. Wasn't too bad...i think my pitch was somewhat there but i seriously lack depth... I sound like a squeaky mouse. And i ended up fibbing most of my lines cos of the fan ti zhi, and that earned me my first singing compliment . " You sound like jay chou". har har.

And finally came home to my sweet, sweet halo 2. Daddy's waiting for you come to daddy *hearts*. goodbye sleep and food and rest and baths ... going to school for the last time prob to play risk...hmm shld i bring my xbox along?

after chem mcq...of which i shall never ever speak of ever again...i went with jr and tk to visit emi-chan at the expo. Apparently shes working at the john littles warehouse sale for 60 bucks a day :) Damm i feel jealous..

Well at first we spent 30 minutes trying to comb for her to no avail. Hey it was that big its almost 2 halls. But eventually we gave up looking and tk suggested filing a missing person report at the PA counter. So we did :) So paiseh damm was it loud. And her supervisor was standing behind her....wheww i hope we didn't get her into any trouble. Aniwae we spent the next hour toking to her and trying not to look too guilty as it became apparent that she was the only person manning the area (some aretermis clothing line or sth) and ignoring all the customers throwing furtive glances at her direction. And i spent 10 mins trying to turn a lady's blouse inside out(apparently there was some mobius like thingamagig going on). And jr tried to steal clothes hangers. The sale is dirt cheap though 150 dollars blouses going for 9 dollars. U can't really argue with that.

Nth much after that really...went to eat at sumo house. Note to self tempura and soup...doesn't really mix well. I ended up just stirring the soggy tempura pieces round and round the bowl. Not a pretty sight i can tell u...and i finally saw a copy of halo2 :) Now to psyco my mum to get me an early christmas present b4 she leaves for israel...

Oh and i heard abt the kl thingy....3 days and 2 nights are really too short u all shld make it longer...and help me get some ps1 games while you are at it:) Rm 2 dollars per cd the last time i checked...(and that was 2 years ago)

Whoohoo i hope to see emi again b4 i leave for ns...

Going back to school to study for the last remaining stretch...unfortunately while i would like to think that i give a rats ass about my future...its because of more err hemm...pragmatic reasons
