Well. Since i got complained about my blog being dead. I’m gonna do a quick update on the things i have done since i guess last weekend?

Sat- 25oct.

Woke up in the morning, headed down to school to meet Marc and went for BMIE’s 24 hours of fun! Apparently their subcom camp. Well not much to comment on it. But well… I kinda dozed off at the wrong place and at a totally wrong time. haha.

Sun – 26oct.

Left BMIE’s camp. Went to school with Matt. He went to help out ASHRAE’s camp. Well my purpose was to simply get my bike. Why? Went on an epic with Nick, Suan, Dickson and Jojo! Was freaking fun! Even though i did not much the night before (maybe about 1hr?) I felt damn hyper. We went from Tampines to ECP to Esplanade and that was the final place before heading back. The rest went for movie. I dozed off at home.

Monday – 27oct.

Holiday! Spent the day lazing around and going out with parents.

Tuesday – 28oct.

As usual. School. But this time i was sick as soon as i stepped out of the house. But still went to class.

Wednesday – 29oct.

School again still sick.Played this game with Alfred, delia , nick and clara. it was Munchkins. Some random card game and until now i still say that game was made to tear friendships apart. haha!

Thursday – Today.

Well. went to school for dynamics lab. Damn the lab was fun. Got to launch little plastic balls again. But this time i ended up calculating everything, and until now, there are still numbers in my head. After that went to CC again. And once again, munchkins with Alfred and Nick. Nick kinda got pissed, i got frustrated and well, Alfred was smiling from cheek to cheek. Damn stupid, addictive, irritating, never ending, funny, tearing-friendship-apart game. Went back to class again and after class delivered Chocolates to a friend who was rotting at library. Went back for book selling and day ended at SME. Well there was this little kitten there for almost the whole day and everyone was playing with it at one point to another, even the most manly of the group. haha!

Friday – tomorrow.

plans : School, TRAIL!!, meeting and ???????

End. Haha!

OOT :  In about 2 weeks i came from being:

Mr tall -> Mum -> Indian -> mum -> angel -> fairy god mother -> ???

Whats next i got to add.

Shit, Its been just 3 days in school and I’m thinking the same thing i did a few weeks back.

Where do i really belong SME or VC.

Both sides i feel at home. Both sides give me shit. Both sides also give me friendship. Damn, I hoped that i would not have thought of this again. But well… It happens. Guess i got to sit down and think. Once again..

Well. The photo marathon was yesterday and school starts tomorrow, and I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to it. On 1 hand I can’t wait to hang out with my friends and on the other I’m actually freaking scared about going. Well, cause of the different classes I’m gonna be in. Once again, knowing no one and all that. Will I get some what the same team i got for MCT last sem? The kind of people who will do and not ask for help cause I’m from another class? I seriously hope not. Cause i got a feeling that it was cause of them which caused me to fail last sem. Well I better not think about it. What happens, happens.

Well let me talk about the canon photo marathon yesterday. 1000+ people, 3 themes, 3.5 hours per theme,Saturday crowds, Saturday traffic, one goal. To get the shot. Well, went with the VC peeps(who else) around to shoot, and this year we brought the 2 “T”s. Transport and Tripod. Overall the day was not so bad. Since i treated that day as an outing more of anything else i did not really care if i won or not. So, day started by queuing up for registration, scolding the organiser and eventually the shooting.

1st theme : Change.

Was with everyone. Liu Ying, Yawen, Geraldine, ShuXian, Nick, Yang, Dickson, Phyo and of course me! All of us squeezed into Liu Ying’s dad’s van and went to the army market for the shot. everyone slowly split up and therefore i got stuck with geraldine. My shot was pretty easy. Just bought matches and tada! I got my photo! Followed geraldine to the bank for coins and helped her with her shot. Met Liu Ying and ShuXian outside the bank after a while. Went to kai kai with Liu Ying a while cause she was really VERY stressed and frustrated cause she could not think of anything. Well the funny part was her photo got shot listed as one of the finalist for this theme! Congrats!

Here’s my photo for this theme. It was edited a little when i got home(watermarked)

2nd Theme : Dreams

This was quite funny. I was with the guys at the uSqueeze machines at the back of the hall. When the theme was announced we all sat down and continued with the massage. This was the most relaxed of the 3 themes. After the massage we went to meet Stanley at the war memorial as he was our driver for that part of the marathon. Walked there, walked back and eventually we had lunch without even shooting. At the last 1.5hrs I was kinda panicking cause i did not have a photo and i had to setup my shot. So got everything i needed and went back to Stan’s car to get my stuff.

Here’s the photo. (watermarked again)

Last theme : Freedom

This was the fastest time i took to get my shot. After about 45mins after the theme was announced i got the shot. I had 2 different ideas and took pictures of both. I eventually submitted the 2nd idea. So went to Stan’s car to get my stuff and while walking there i saw everything i needed to get the 2nd photo. Lucky huh? So called nick over to be my “model” and ran to stan’s car and back with everything i need. Had to make the shot snappy cause I was supposed to go back to find the girls and the guys needed to run off to stan’s house for their photo. So chop chop. Got the photo i wanted, the guys went their way and called Liu Ying. They were already on her dad’s car and driving off! OMG! Thankfully her dad could still come back and get me. They came over to my place for the shots they needed. Liu Ying needed high heels and Geraldine needed well trigger.

My photo for the last theme.

Reached back to Suntec to upload at 710. Waited for the guys and all of us went for dinner at the ramen hell place. Went back for results and I can say Dickson and I were really pissed at the judging. After the results part went to Arab Street with Nick, Dickson, Yang, Stanley and Geraldine to sheesha. 1st time trying it. It started off nice and slowly.. Well….. Not so nice. Maybe it’s cause it’s my 1st time trying. Funny experience. Nick and I smoked the most there lah! Yang was next and in running order it was Stan, Geraldine and Dickson. The bloody thing made me feel the same way i feel after about 2-3cans of beer after about 10mins of non stop smoking. haha! After that Yang sent me home while Stan fetched the rest.

Well thats it for this long wordy update. 🙂

PS: Nick! send me my photo!

Well just got back from the october intake camp. And i got to say some people are nearly almost impossible to get candid photos off. Even when your shooting the person from one end of the sports hall to the other. haha. Well I have a freaking lot of complains but I really don’t wish to say it here.

Wooooot! Tomorrow is canon photo marathon. I remember it was last year when i 1st took part in this event. Damn time really flies by fast. 1 year. Half way through poly already. Meeting new friends and loosing old ones. O well shit happens right?

I’m not getting lazy to type. So toodles~~

Sian~ Some times having 2 groups of friends sucks. Well as most people know its either VC or SME for me right? and most of the time their outings clash. For example JSXP and Nick’s chalet. Sometimes chosing between here and there just makes me feel wierd. On one hand i wanna go here but what would i miss out if I’m not at the other place?  Damn. I guess I’m thinking way to much for now. But yea. sometimes i really wonder why i join them. Yea, sure i love the company from both sides. But sometimes i feel that having to many little groups of friends around me just ain’t gonna be a very good thing. Who knows i may just end up having no friends after this phase of life?

It’s been a while since i updated. Have been busy with JSXP and Nick’s chalet. Which both of them ended today. Sorry E2 for not being there at the airport earlier today. Could not wake up on time. Let me update you all from JSXP to the chalet. 🙂

JSXP

Day 0. Cant really remember what happened. All i remember is i ending up at the airport with Cui. Oh yah! I remember now! Went to Chinatown to meet Alvin while the rest went for karaoke had diner with them and went to the airport to get the 2nd wave of Japanese students. After all that went drinking with Cui and Becky. Took the last bus home.

Day 1. Well this started of as quite a fun enjoyable event for me. Well it was to some extent. This started on Sunday 28th September if i remember correctly. Went there as the only helper till Peng turned up. At least he turned up or else i would be seriously damn bored. Event photography used to be fun. Now well.. Seems a little different.

2nd day.  Which was if I’m not wrong monday. Was held in school. This day was fun. Hans, Syamil and marc came. Which was a good thing. I wasn’t so bored and that day we played sports as one of the activities. It was freaking hot that day and i cycled to school. So played around with my bike a bit when all the Japanese and Singaporean buddies were playing sports. Heat got to me and ended up in the sports hall playing Badminton. Was fun. Well the scary part was when i could not find my bike. Can’t really remember who i lent it too but it went to different people and eventually no one knew where it was. Made me think why the hell did i lend my bike to people. Day ended with dinner with both SME and AnF. Was quite fun. Talking, shouting and making fun of each other.

3rd day. Was spent outside school. Started at school. Reached at 730. Woke up a freaking 6! Earliest time i woke up since secondary school. Went to NUS, some company(damn i knew the name 5secs ago) and eventually back to school to cycle home. What was best we were all wearing formal. I don’t even wear formal to presentations and i was made to wear formal for some company visit. Damn. Had lunch with the Main com at holland V and well skipped dinner cause did not have much company.

4th and 5th day.

Well.. Did not turn up. Was at nick’s chalet. E2 Sorry for not turning up. 🙂

Nick Chalet

Day 1. Seriously did nothing much at all. Met Peiye, Geraldine and Alvin at Tanah Merah and got Liu Ying’s dad to drive us to NSRCC. Liu Ying tell your dad i said thanks! 🙂 Got there and 1st thing we did was sit down and played this game called articulate was fun. thanks to alfred for bringing it. The game itself was interesting and along with playing it with the most random people you might ever know made it freaking fun. After the game we had BBQ and back to articulate. After a while of playing nick went off to 7-11 to get stuff. So the rest of us spammed with the cake. Well we were freaking obvious and nick kinda figured it out rather quick. But the process was freaking funny. After everything and a state of bordem i went ahead to try that love thingy with the cards on some of them. haha! Results made me laugh a little. Went to sleep after that.

Day 2. Woke up as a zombie. Sat down and waited for something to happen. 12 we for lunch. After lunch, bowling/pool/arcarde. Ended around 4-5 ish. Next went to cycle with Liu Ying, Geraldine, ShuXian and Yawen. Bloody rented bikes were horrible. Don’t really wanna explain.

After cycling Liu Ying and I decided to go walk walk at the beach. Low tide. Very nice experience. Saw quite a few things. Like hermit crabs and other stuff we don’t even know existed. Quite funny too. The 1st hermit crab we saw we went “Awwww! looks cute!” same with the 2nd one. But slowly after looking around we went “OMG! We are surrounded!” Same thing happened with those tiny clams and flat circuler thingys. We spent quite a while out there at the beach. haha. After the beach went back for another BBQ. Ate a little and finally Nick, Alvin and I decided to jump into the pool. After the swim we decided to go back and eat somemore! Dickson came with his new bike. Freaking nice to ride lah! 2nd night was spent eating, playing cards, and finally forcing Dickson to confess! LOL! I missed the lotion spraying on dickson simply cause i fell asleep.

Day 3! Very simple. Woke up, packed up and got the hell out. Went for lunch at Bedok South. 5mins from my grandparents place. Went to visit them for a while before eating. After eating went to school and than eventually back home.
