Title: Beach!-
Hey.
It was beach day for facils yesterday. At first I thought there will be lots of people going, well, it is still with 20, but seeing 80 who were involved shrinking to 30 who can make it till 20 who turned up, things started to be very interesting.
Anyway, before getting there, I came across a pram with a toddler in it. That's when I had the inspiration to the scene where I should have been the day before that. Or rather, that's when I had the idea right to the scene. On friday, it was freaking awkward when the trainer called me to a scene for something I never prepared for - a single dad role - when I was reading the writer's lines instead. I truly appreciated her way of describing the scene for me and planning everything out nicely for me, but in my mind this feeding action assigned to me never felt right. In fact what ran beneath my skull was "is this done? can i get over with this now!?" So, with the combined effort of sore throat plus moody brain, I literally did a mime instead. What I was seeing on stage was the wooden floor and loads of people staring; some trying to decifer what I was doing, others hoping that I won't waste more time on showing how nervy I was. Of course there were some who attempted encouraging me, but just imagine how many things off-stage I could remember. OH! I can even remember how thick the wooden pieces on the stage were. No wonder the trainer asked me this "what do you think about acting?" RUSTY, that's what I answered. How pathetic for such excuses!
Alright, back to the outing...
I started being an idiot by stoning at one corner trying to look for people to call when I don't even know who's going and who's not, till cherie was like creeping from somewhere and gave me a tiny winy shock. haha! what embarrassing moment!
Nigel's ultimately funny. His high-pitched laughter was crazy! Then he also had this ass crack which was huuuumongous!! :D
There was the dunking routine for almost everyone, and everytime when a target's picked it's real funny that this person would be mysteriously surrounded by many.
Contact rugby was fun, even when I was pushed right away by Nigel. This fella, he was charging down the sands when I was in his way. Yet, he stretched out his long long long arm and just threw me away. What the...!! HA! What hilarious moment!! And also!! Yong Chao <i>can</i> kick the missile far! Daniel was pro. He was having a game plan when we were trying to score against the fast opponents which worked at the first try. WHOA!! hahaha! :D
After being dunked those wet people had the privilege to be filled with sand, under their pants or some got buried, cos saddistic people just loved to do that. In the end they became sandmen!
Speaking of missile, those guys just ran out of things to play after hours of football, frisbee, volleyball... That's when someone just thought of throwing the ball-like materials onto people's woohoo places! Sick freaks! Hahaha! (:
I learnt how to play frisbee with forehand, ACCURATELY and finally. It was such a tough thing till I realised the positoning was so crucial! Ha! I'm ready for Tuesday's games! (:
Piong invited us to her party, and it was so amz! But I'm still trying to find out about the black magic!
Anw, thank goodness there wasn't much rain. And the cuts by the sand were all worth it. Maybe the extent that I couldn't stand still was too!
btw, i wish to say about the inside story during friday's semi-audition which would have kinda angered anyone, but since i was too tired to do anything then, my throat simply did nothing
SMILE! (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: CNY card!-
I seriously hope we can bring some awards to the class with this piece of work. freakin' nice right?? So, if we get prizes like the top, and maybe for the following categories - meaning, attractiveness, theme-related - I'll be overjoyed!!!!! (: (: (: (:
Anyway, many many plenty plenty thanks to:
- yk for his cheena words
- anast for calming down even though she's not in a mood to do so
- cbelle for allowing me to showcase my crappy tellence
- eileen for her unsung-heroic acts
- momma for sacrificing time with colouring when it could have been spent otherwise N unconditional lending of colour pencils (cos most have depleted!!)
- nickwah for rambling n keep the environment active, though a 'lil umpleasant at times
- shaine for colouring on wednesday afternoon when I was down with drama
- john for colouring too, but HE KILLED THE 421 COLOUR PENCIL! IT'S SO SHORT NOW!!
- sash for his idea that ears are extremely crucial (it looked like a chipmunk before that...) haha
- shiok artists for the lessons learnt from them, especially kc, when some ideas came from there, and the rest for teaching me how to do shading
- semi-induced by voila people for the inspiration on the yellow border thingy; I just realised that the inspiration came from there!
- my brain for its ability to carry on functioning at 1 am on sunday-night monday-morning
- whoever for making me think that cheese is a must for rats
- clarence for challenging him to beat his artpiece n his class
- binni for designing the o1 shirt with the flame, just a random thought btw
- my randomness for thinking of having a mousehole
- yza for her outlining in cheena words called calligraphy n touching up
- anyone in class for admiring the artpiece today. hehehe!
HAHAHA! I don't believe my ego is so freakin' high that I'm beginning to think that I'll win the best prize la! But lookin' at some other classes' pieces, I was thinkin' that they do stand a great chance for their simple yet strong message. Either way, I'm very satisfied by the way our class people opted to extract some time to help out in one way or another. Now that this project's over, the process leading to this was fun and enjoyable!
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: Story-
Hey.
I heard a story today from fin. Originally I would have been thinking that the terror would have ended the previous year. However I was wrong. Very wrong. I don't know the exact details, but the mastermind n puppet n sort of that gave me the impression that everything's so similar to what I've been learning history about. If I get the minute things sorted out, I promise, they'll all be here!
btw, I've found myself a new song. I can hear the bells by Nikki Blonsky on Hairspray. Soo cool!! (:
... when (s)he nudged me, love put me in a fix...
alrights. byee!!! (:

Title: Ammo-
Hello.
I overheard another heart-breaking story again. Well, it was yesterday when hydrocarbon (keep it to yourself if you know, and you know who you are...) was telling potato about its story. I tried not to know any details, and thankfully I didn't, but even my poor skills in inferencing hinted me that. In fact I'm sick of these things all the time. Everytime such events come across me it somehow seems to be pulling me back from what I have psychoed myself earlier; that goal.
Anyway, I'm upset at the way I'm experiencing. Beginning the day early with a lack of sleep last night, gulping tea during lectures (on a saturday) to keep me awake, full of energy during lectures, heading for town with an optimistic mind, managing myself to survive through sore throat on smoky streets, asking the same question along a few roads in town, hunting every shop that comes by us, being asked for not taking what they have, getting jected with price ceiling above the negotiated price, finding that some brands aren't even heard by some people, ending the day with nothing finally, it was indeed tired. I've never touched caffeine for such a long time. Either way, really thank yza n times for accompanying me with this trip. I guess she knows that it'll be so dry going alone. yay. ok, i don't feel hyper now at all. haha (:
Oh. I still haven't told daddy n mummy about it. It's four days late I presume, but they are both watching tv at this hour! It's 1209 btw, and they're laughing their way at the tv box. How interesting to hear their laughter without seeing them this way. haha! :D
Another thing is that when I played soccer yesterday, I was trying to stop the ball in the air. It thumped at the bone right above my right ankle, that curvy part of the bone. The best is that there's no bruise, but the pain's still there.
One last thing. My sore throat has just turned into that 'cool' voice that had bugged people like female shiok n tiffanie after orientation. But it's not cool at all! It's burning!
btw, the econs lecture by mr leong n markv was rather interesting. it's good in the sense that we've got the outline clear-cut. n whatever they did made things flowed so well.
The song that triggered me for the past week, Tell Her by Jesse McCartney.
Quote of the day on Friday, "it was so hot that you melted..."
nights! ha, try to smile (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: Craziness!-
Hey
today's madness! lis sounded like a parent when we were walking past victoria during break n she had this gesture of "greet her!!" eventually i did, but her way of instructing was humourous. then pe was worse. mr ho tried out a gamble with nickwah. the game was that nick will not say the forbidden word, "black". this blur fella, just spoilt the fun of spiking back the teacher. shoooooots!! another cool thing about the mass pe was that we had count push-ups with different languages like chinese malay tamil czech cantonese, of which the latter had smth like burning the accounts book, which i said earlier. what coincidence! (: we also had to do jumping jets as an army by hopping down the slope, how fun! anw. toodles!! (:

Title: stressed up!-
hey mid-volk RE-port.
the past 3 days have been ****( i can't think of the right word currently) except for day 1, where missing smiles meant that i had plenty that day.
anw, i know that attempting to run away from this vocal crowd never helps. as i said, i have been trying to appease all sides so as to keep everyone happy. i think many knows that, but here i am, pondering if i ever did that right. on one side, there are a group of professional-like people who try to give their few hundred percents with interesting pointers that the field requires. on the other hand, i try not to believe this but i think there is an increasing influence of self-inflicted tension which is never discussed to solve it. instead, the tendency to prevent future situations like this is often the case. in fact, i don't mind if the point to say things like this out is to really ask the rest to take note, or perhaps if elaboration on the extent of it is necessary. but in any argument, it's rather apparent that the link should be there, as in, there's a need to reiterate the point of taking note! fine. maybe i have yet to see that. but i'm sure i will, soon. another thing. i think that first impression shouldn't be harsh. after all, what i saw around 365 days ago, one person had all the negative qualities described here. yet he changed completely for some reason. i don't know the exact reason, but i think he realised and understood the rubber band thing. eventually he released it soon after the first project. ok, one more, and this should be something to be learnt for me; i should learn the story before applying anything. truly, i never thought of the consequences when i did whatever action to matilda. i should have... fine. there's nothing i can do. anw, i think that running through the possible cases is a must before one even begins talking or doing smth. that's why over-stretching the band has drastic effects.
HERE'S WHAT'S IN MY DISPLAY NICK.
terence will burn your accounts books - don't stretch this band too hard. it'll hurt. I MEAN IT.
ps. this goes out to everyone. i'm serious.
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: Changes-
I remember 365 days ago there were 8 people sitting around a round table. It was a day where these people were celebrating a day of hardwork about trying to sell their merchandise remaining from the previous year. In a campus located at the west, the alumni n teachers decided to go for a steamboat dinner. These people promised to meet up again every year while remembering the pioneers of the cca, or in this case, first 3 batches.
In a table where sharonbaby, nazziefuzzie, stefan, penguin, gabrielpatrick n somemore, we had a fun time then. But over the past year so many things happened. Prolly only one person's left there. The rest're gone. But definitely, never to be forgotten.
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: 19 means SHIOK! (:-
Hey!!
ig 19 have been superbly awesome, apart from all the dirty ideas brought on by cutter n co n influencing the rest with it... but i'll never forget them n their names. that's for sure!
hannah, shupei, dominic, qianhui, cutter, wenguang, adam, keane, weeshung, max, wyeley, huiying, chantel, tianye, isabelle, jessica, grace, zhanglu, deborah, jojo, keasberry, leslie, suying + me! simply fantabulous ig 19!!
This bunch of fellas here, who went along for the past few outings, are real good at spreading their vocabulary of filthy actions n words. haha!! ask cutter n he'll show you into a whole new world of mental retardness with all sorts of funny actions. i have one currently, but i'm not showing!! let it rot for a while. haha!! (:
Then there was 1t19!
Freakingly scary mann! cos of the rashes n stuff some came then some went missing for a while, so i can't really remember all their names. but here're some of the pics during the 3 days!!
okay, if my order's wrong. PARDON ME!!
sebastiankoh, lynette, jeanne, isabelle, georgina, melody, lester, jiafu(the mummy!), amos, shufeng (htc! but sound smth like shufei!), wenguang, yangqing, sebastianwong, kennethchen, freddie, michelle, shupei, jianli, kennethang
oh! i missed some out. sandy n shiyan!
It was real freaky that everyone in t19 weren't in their comfort zone n felt so isolated such that they couldn't bring on the cheers they learnt from their previous igs. but thankfully someone stepped up n led one. the best part is, that person was from my ig!! (shows alot on how good facils we were right o.O?) haha! isabelle came up with this 'ole ole ah ah' thing. how ironic, we were supposed to be in shiok house... haha (:
Jeanne's rather vocal online. It's like, when i was talkin to her some day ago, she could bring up so many ideas, including 3 to 4 lines consecutively. Then there were times when i couldn't catch up with her. Or maybe i was rather sleepy then. Anyway, it shows alot on her character! haha :D
I'll ask chye for the pics for shiok house soon. but seriously, this must be the best group i've ever worked with so far!

Title: finale!-
Hey!
I was dead ytd. but everything's sooooooooo cool! (:
We, as in Nadine, Audrey n WeiQi, were extremely late when we were supposed to reach kallang by 7 to set up the games. But for whatever reason, we were still on the bus at 730. That's when nadine became very worried. plus the seniors wanted to cut some programmes, this stressed her out eventually cos she never wanted to cancel anything. thankfully audrey was so calm with everything and her "never mind, i can manage attitude". I somehow found it amusing when nadine made everyone feel the pressure yet cheeko was in her slow and steady mode. Def somfing to learn from!! (:
So our first activity as shiok house was dragon boating. Real sadly, I couldn't be with my class since it could fit 23 people - su, mr aaron n 21 ppl from the class. But joining krygs maj joy chuan with t7 people was equally fun! cos chuan gave them a cheer like this "one up! two up! three up! four up! five up! six up! seven up! what's up!!" smth that's so much coincidence n useful in times like this. Anyway, in this boat. I've got this robert as instructor again, same as last year. wow! out of the so many instructors out there! but this time he introduced us new terms. there's the midpack, backpack, boosters n some other term in front! i forgot btw. haha, the 'backpack' word just never stopped me n this j1 grace (from my ig) from laughing!! haha :D
As for the bonding games, it's so cool for mr aaron to join into the starch attack game. he's the class' ht n that game's about stringing up everyone dipped into disgusting fluids through the sleeves. eww right? meanwhile. the highest footline game just got me stare at the team in amazement. really. cos they're just so blessed to have someone (this girl called michelle) who can do a split! just imagine how we tried without anyone like that during the facils training!
The last part was the best. really!
I loved our entrance for finale night. It was truly short n sweet with our pck music that just had this funny element to all other houses' serious entrance n ultimately grand music. and the coolest is that we brought out the anti-climax!! esp the first drum rolling, it was so funny!!! then the "piack" sound with our plates. super la!!
The comic relief by michael n anthea was the "wow" of the night. The effect of that was so influential that it's somehow similar to those good movies out there; you might not remember every single bit of detail throughout the show, but any line from there you could immediately tell what it is about. Their theme for it was ppt about school rules. In fact i remembered them talking about the escape routes, things to drink before lectures, introducing authoritative figures, attire n how to avoid gettin a spoilt day at school n just after school. it's just like whatever we've heard for the past year was smashed into one session at finale night! SUPER FUNNY!
Our cheers part was simply the best. I said it once before but i think we did a great job cos of nicole n joc for all those meaningful lines n cheesy ones that still rings in my head when previously i had to stare at the words yet still don't get whether they would sound nice. I'll post the cheers some other day! (:
I also liked some parts where the j1s put up a skit. ours was so awesome such that they used the mocca advertisement by takin' off one guy's shirt. good thing's that we didn't get scolding for that, in fact we had a good laugh! :) basically all the skits were interesting, really all. just that i thought voila's one was a little too long n the excitement die-ded for a while. ya. but i kinda liked the way they interpreted other houses' themes rather well. or maybe not too well, but the general idea was there i guess. anw, i prefered that ole (green) had the idea of using red (my house's colour! haha) card to the things they didn't like about the skit. It put a smile to me which was rather new to me. I never knew they'd try to cross the colour border! hahaha! :D
alright. that was it. thank goodness tiff listened to me about the story just before finale night. i always wanted to let it out about the truth rather than people seeing the surface which is often false or forced. anw, i dunno whether what i'm doing is right for me. i'm merely trying to balance things out on my own. but if i can't do it on my own, i'll just stop playing this rubber band.
till then, bye! (: smile!!
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: 对战-
谓大佬!自己知自己事啦!明知自己口咁颗凸就唔咁'hao3'! really very 啰胆 when it's like when 懒pro懒cool 个pose is shown without taking things in a more fun way you know! the worse is that the environment's supposed to be more of a relaxing surrounding.
sigh, enough of ranting here. it's freaking scary to see 3 people in my ig coming into the same class! yep i got the whole shock of my life to see so many here mann! then the best part, there're 6 marists n 4 ijtp in this class out of the 19 that turned up. full domination mann! the coolest thing is that one from the 6 turned out to be the htc while one from the 4 became the assistant!!
anw, had a crap day to start off. it's all about taking a sip of curdled milk. when i was pouring milk from the carton in the fridge which had an expiry date till june, i've got this idea that it'd be safe, even when things came out in solid pieces. foolish me. next i attempted to taste it. it was still alright when it was in my mouth, but the next moment it sent chills down. i wanted to spill it so badly, with all those soury liquid flowing across my tongue. it sucks alot. in the end i found that i had no breakfast but disgusting fluid at home.
speaking of that, our shiok intro was fantabulous! like what on earth mann! yep there were some cock-ups here and there, but all the last minute rehearsal was worth it. at least we brought laughter to those fellas down stage.
the last programme of the day was frisbee match. odac versus non-odac! learning the forehand throw nicely was fluke for many times, but the feelin' was freaking amz!
alright, it's rather weird to be almost shaken out through different people. i'll name them - su in the morning, kc before leaving school, ivan on the way home. i won't be tellin' how they actually did it, but thankfully i came to my senses.
i think it's rather obvious the hope i had yesterday kept me alive this morning. well, no one knows about it so... ANW, it's even more obvious that catchin' that smile simply blew me into hyper mode. it's not about how good-lookin' the person is; one can be called the worst looking on earth, but if the person feels happy straight from the inside, anyone can see it on the outside. it's like those people in the third world countries. yes, they might be visually unpleasant. but if they can escape from their anxiety and worry into a world of happiness, regardless of the troubles hiding inside, that's the greatest visual pleasure one can find. really!
lastly, my hopes got dented again after reading smf. but it's definitely a day to remember!! (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: cure for sandfly bites-
Q:
We are going to Bribie Island for a holiday. My husband reacts to sandfly bites. How are these treated?
A:
Avoid exposure as much as possible. Apply crushed ice or cold water packs for 10 minutes and repeat often. Some find application of vinegar or Stingose helpful. The non sedating ant-histamines may give relief. Calamine, Eurax, weak cortisone cream, Pranatal powder to the skin may help.
I have no idea if it works, but wish it does! (:

Title: Let's Talk About Love-
Everywhere I go, all the places that I've been
Every smile's a new horizon
On a land that's never seen.
There are people around the world
Different faces, different names.
But there's one true emotion
That reminds me we're the same.
Hey.
I'm back after nine hours of sleep. In fact, it's the longest for the past n weeks! maybe that's why I'm feelin' rather tired still. anyhows, this post shall be about in front of those juniors, behind the scenes and the weirdo things before i dropped dead.
OH! day 1 was rather cool when everyone was so quiet and was kinda in the crouching position and bent knees. honestly, i had this feeling too! for all the fear that i might not be accepted by those fellas. it's rather obvious when our icebreakers were quite a failure too, seeing that our people didn't really do much forfeits. haha but thank goodness there's su. she did the intro to the rest. then there was a long break for the talk somewhere in between we managed to sneak some time to get back to my class. it was soo awesome to see so many of them again! I have no idea why but gabriel's hair now looks more amusing than before. during break lizzy madly preached about my nick to the juniors! ohmy! next was the worst thing happened to me as a facil. wth. losing stuff. haha, this crappy feelin' lasted me throughout the whole day mann! even when we were settling the shirts and stuff after everyone left.
really many many thanks to anyone who helped me in one way or another in forgetting that trashy notion in my mind. there were many indeed, but the most amusing must be from nicole. she was like, "i'm gonna kill you if you say that again..." but she could never do it in an angry way. so i ended up laughing loads really! hahaha!! :D
day two began according to schedule. that's goody! but the real bonding happened from the amazing race. for some reason i had to think of all their cheers and cheer them on to start, how ironic! i can't really remember the rest, but i'm pretty sure those lads just loved to kill their seniors! the second station was the water bucket and ivan n i were splashed like no one's business! i also liked the way they told the ghostly story by calling piong to the centre of their circle and screaming at her from behind and grabbin her leg. there's also the cheering of momma, which was soo awesome! oh! rearranging those people randomly in the line seemed so cheeky, testing if they cheated was much more cool when i was putting my fingers at their eye sockets as if i'm gonna blind them! then they had to memorise things that i would never do - the vision n mission ( i guess!) we didn't have enough time in the end, so we missed kc's station as we moved onto the mass bonding games. the first was jacob's ladder while missing the slippery game, where i gave them their first nightmare by splashin' their collected cups of water at them! haha! it's nice to see them releasing their lungs through screams :) !!
ok, spamming things here don't work. i'm feelin' rather tired now, maybe i'll carry on some time later. for all the things i know about, from " i don't feel part of the group right from the start" to all the b****ings everyone makes behind the scenes; they do hurt. but fine, i'll get used to it soon, wishfully.
learn to smile, terence!
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: (: elastic band-
Hey.
I think the previous days were the happiest days of my life. Rather i should call it the most fulfilling ones. for all the madness around like losing almost everything daily. it's not really nice here but they included ipod plus paints, banners and morale all the way.
there was also the introduction for which we needed to get in to dance the mass dance. i knew it wasn't right to be at the self-moved spot at the last minute, in fact i'd have blown up and started scolding the rest if i were in drama for this problem. but somehow or rather vic or yinting, either of them, kinda made me quiet. lookin' back, i thought it was foolish for me to have foiled the entire plan if i made any noise. so embarrassing! thx (if any of you happen to come across!) haha!!
ig 19 turned absolutely fantastic from day two onwards. well of course not really. but seeing all those colourful ice blocks breaking and mixing into rainbow-coloured water was a pleasure to see. well definitely there were some residue which didn't mix well, yet something's for sure. there was never hatred feelin's! even when su n i forced them to cheer or do any funny actions. really thank God for this plan. or maybe, i've learnt how much to stretch in this elastic band!
i have rashes at my right arm now, most probably from the detergent. honestly, i have no idea what's the real culprit. but prolly from pa. anw, speakin' of that, shootin' water at people with loads of mud was ultimately funn!! it's like, bcos it's merely a running tap with a hose, i had this control over how hard the water can come out. so sometimes i gave them some water massage at the thighs, some at their butts, others at their backs. the reward? seeing all sorts of mud flowing down the drain. anw, sooooo fun!
bazaar was interesting, yet sad when i couldn't be part of the scene. nonetheless, setting up the notice was nice too, considering that i had no time to bathe then. but what struck me the most was that i had to be a messenger who doesn't know what both parties wanted until very late. the recipient rejected the call, but this fella never knew why the sender kept pestering for so long. it all boils back to the elastic band theory; the more it's stretched, the excitement and entertainment level goes up. the only ways to solve this is either to hope that the person pulling this has no more energy, or snap it straight away. apparently the recipient prefered the former.
In my elastic band, i was playing alot these days till i have lost my energy to carry on.
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: splitting time-
hey
i've just got this feeling (yes so obvious that i'm lying) the day i went pushing with the crowd was also the day which might have been soo wrong if i did smth else.
anw, i've lost my voice since morning and the only thing i'm doing is merely listening to music plus lip-singing. well, i can't sing anyway. but this sucks! esp on the first day of the year! dang! just imagine i can't turn up in school for my retarded throat! shucks!!
btw, 30th was rather interesting (oh, why would i post boring stuff here!? so anti-climax!!) in the sense that i went for a boarding school tour, somewhere which looks like condominiums all around. oh! i can't tell ya the details, cos i might get people into trouble. but it's definitely something that's unforgettable! (:
then last night i was almost crazy. took some drugs just to stay awake after mad day before that. one thing, we've got the coolest cheers around! it's sooo true. meaningful ones? we've got them. easy to remember ones? we've got them. non-cliches? we've got them. haha! but we were rather slow in other parts.
oh! v tired!! bye (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: Beach!-
Hey.
It was beach day for facils yesterday. At first I thought there will be lots of people going, well, it is still with 20, but seeing 80 who were involved shrinking to 30 who can make it till 20 who turned up, things started to be very interesting.
Anyway, before getting there, I came across a pram with a toddler in it. That's when I had the inspiration to the scene where I should have been the day before that. Or rather, that's when I had the idea right to the scene. On friday, it was freaking awkward when the trainer called me to a scene for something I never prepared for - a single dad role - when I was reading the writer's lines instead. I truly appreciated her way of describing the scene for me and planning everything out nicely for me, but in my mind this feeding action assigned to me never felt right. In fact what ran beneath my skull was "is this done? can i get over with this now!?" So, with the combined effort of sore throat plus moody brain, I literally did a mime instead. What I was seeing on stage was the wooden floor and loads of people staring; some trying to decifer what I was doing, others hoping that I won't waste more time on showing how nervy I was. Of course there were some who attempted encouraging me, but just imagine how many things off-stage I could remember. OH! I can even remember how thick the wooden pieces on the stage were. No wonder the trainer asked me this "what do you think about acting?" RUSTY, that's what I answered. How pathetic for such excuses!
Alright, back to the outing...
I started being an idiot by stoning at one corner trying to look for people to call when I don't even know who's going and who's not, till cherie was like creeping from somewhere and gave me a tiny winy shock. haha! what embarrassing moment!
Nigel's ultimately funny. His high-pitched laughter was crazy! Then he also had this ass crack which was huuuumongous!! :D
There was the dunking routine for almost everyone, and everytime when a target's picked it's real funny that this person would be mysteriously surrounded by many.
Contact rugby was fun, even when I was pushed right away by Nigel. This fella, he was charging down the sands when I was in his way. Yet, he stretched out his long long long arm and just threw me away. What the...!! HA! What hilarious moment!! And also!! Yong Chao <i>can</i> kick the missile far! Daniel was pro. He was having a game plan when we were trying to score against the fast opponents which worked at the first try. WHOA!! hahaha! :D
After being dunked those wet people had the privilege to be filled with sand, under their pants or some got buried, cos saddistic people just loved to do that. In the end they became sandmen!
Speaking of missile, those guys just ran out of things to play after hours of football, frisbee, volleyball... That's when someone just thought of throwing the ball-like materials onto people's woohoo places! Sick freaks! Hahaha! (:
I learnt how to play frisbee with forehand, ACCURATELY and finally. It was such a tough thing till I realised the positoning was so crucial! Ha! I'm ready for Tuesday's games! (:
Piong invited us to her party, and it was so amz! But I'm still trying to find out about the black magic!
Anw, thank goodness there wasn't much rain. And the cuts by the sand were all worth it. Maybe the extent that I couldn't stand still was too!
btw, i wish to say about the inside story during friday's semi-audition which would have kinda angered anyone, but since i was too tired to do anything then, my throat simply did nothing
SMILE! (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

I seriously hope we can bring some awards to the class with this piece of work. freakin' nice right?? So, if we get prizes like the top, and maybe for the following categories - meaning, attractiveness, theme-related - I'll be overjoyed!!!!! (: (: (: (:
Anyway, many many plenty plenty thanks to:
- yk for his cheena words
- anast for calming down even though she's not in a mood to do so
- cbelle for allowing me to showcase my crappy tellence
- eileen for her unsung-heroic acts
- momma for sacrificing time with colouring when it could have been spent otherwise N unconditional lending of colour pencils (cos most have depleted!!)
- nickwah for rambling n keep the environment active, though a 'lil umpleasant at times
- shaine for colouring on wednesday afternoon when I was down with drama
- john for colouring too, but HE KILLED THE 421 COLOUR PENCIL! IT'S SO SHORT NOW!!
- sash for his idea that ears are extremely crucial (it looked like a chipmunk before that...) haha
- shiok artists for the lessons learnt from them, especially kc, when some ideas came from there, and the rest for teaching me how to do shading
- semi-induced by voila people for the inspiration on the yellow border thingy; I just realised that the inspiration came from there!
- my brain for its ability to carry on functioning at 1 am on sunday-night monday-morning
- whoever for making me think that cheese is a must for rats
- clarence for challenging him to beat his artpiece n his class
- binni for designing the o1 shirt with the flame, just a random thought btw
- my randomness for thinking of having a mousehole
- yza for her outlining in cheena words called calligraphy n touching up
- anyone in class for admiring the artpiece today. hehehe!
HAHAHA! I don't believe my ego is so freakin' high that I'm beginning to think that I'll win the best prize la! But lookin' at some other classes' pieces, I was thinkin' that they do stand a great chance for their simple yet strong message. Either way, I'm very satisfied by the way our class people opted to extract some time to help out in one way or another. Now that this project's over, the process leading to this was fun and enjoyable!
yup, so that's what happened (:

Hey.
I heard a story today from fin. Originally I would have been thinking that the terror would have ended the previous year. However I was wrong. Very wrong. I don't know the exact details, but the mastermind n puppet n sort of that gave me the impression that everything's so similar to what I've been learning history about. If I get the minute things sorted out, I promise, they'll all be here!
btw, I've found myself a new song. I can hear the bells by Nikki Blonsky on Hairspray. Soo cool!! (:

Title: Ammo-
Hello.
I overheard another heart-breaking story again. Well, it was yesterday when hydrocarbon (keep it to yourself if you know, and you know who you are...) was telling potato about its story. I tried not to know any details, and thankfully I didn't, but even my poor skills in inferencing hinted me that. In fact I'm sick of these things all the time. Everytime such events come across me it somehow seems to be pulling me back from what I have psychoed myself earlier; that goal.
Anyway, I'm upset at the way I'm experiencing. Beginning the day early with a lack of sleep last night, gulping tea during lectures (on a saturday) to keep me awake, full of energy during lectures, heading for town with an optimistic mind, managing myself to survive through sore throat on smoky streets, asking the same question along a few roads in town, hunting every shop that comes by us, being asked for not taking what they have, getting jected with price ceiling above the negotiated price, finding that some brands aren't even heard by some people, ending the day with nothing finally, it was indeed tired. I've never touched caffeine for such a long time. Either way, really thank yza n times for accompanying me with this trip. I guess she knows that it'll be so dry going alone. yay. ok, i don't feel hyper now at all. haha (:
Oh. I still haven't told daddy n mummy about it. It's four days late I presume, but they are both watching tv at this hour! It's 1209 btw, and they're laughing their way at the tv box. How interesting to hear their laughter without seeing them this way. haha! :D
Another thing is that when I played soccer yesterday, I was trying to stop the ball in the air. It thumped at the bone right above my right ankle, that curvy part of the bone. The best is that there's no bruise, but the pain's still there.
One last thing. My sore throat has just turned into that 'cool' voice that had bugged people like female shiok n tiffanie after orientation. But it's not cool at all! It's burning!
btw, the econs lecture by mr leong n markv was rather interesting. it's good in the sense that we've got the outline clear-cut. n whatever they did made things flowed so well.
The song that triggered me for the past week, Tell Her by Jesse McCartney.
Quote of the day on Friday, "it was so hot that you melted..."
nights! ha, try to smile (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

Hey
today's madness! lis sounded like a parent when we were walking past victoria during break n she had this gesture of "greet her!!" eventually i did, but her way of instructing was humourous. then pe was worse. mr ho tried out a gamble with nickwah. the game was that nick will not say the forbidden word, "black". this blur fella, just spoilt the fun of spiking back the teacher. shoooooots!! another cool thing about the mass pe was that we had count push-ups with different languages like chinese malay tamil czech cantonese, of which the latter had smth like burning the accounts book, which i said earlier. what coincidence! (: we also had to do jumping jets as an army by hopping down the slope, how fun! anw. toodles!! (:

Title: stressed up!-
hey mid-volk RE-port.
the past 3 days have been ****( i can't think of the right word currently) except for day 1, where missing smiles meant that i had plenty that day.
anw, i know that attempting to run away from this vocal crowd never helps. as i said, i have been trying to appease all sides so as to keep everyone happy. i think many knows that, but here i am, pondering if i ever did that right. on one side, there are a group of professional-like people who try to give their few hundred percents with interesting pointers that the field requires. on the other hand, i try not to believe this but i think there is an increasing influence of self-inflicted tension which is never discussed to solve it. instead, the tendency to prevent future situations like this is often the case. in fact, i don't mind if the point to say things like this out is to really ask the rest to take note, or perhaps if elaboration on the extent of it is necessary. but in any argument, it's rather apparent that the link should be there, as in, there's a need to reiterate the point of taking note! fine. maybe i have yet to see that. but i'm sure i will, soon. another thing. i think that first impression shouldn't be harsh. after all, what i saw around 365 days ago, one person had all the negative qualities described here. yet he changed completely for some reason. i don't know the exact reason, but i think he realised and understood the rubber band thing. eventually he released it soon after the first project. ok, one more, and this should be something to be learnt for me; i should learn the story before applying anything. truly, i never thought of the consequences when i did whatever action to matilda. i should have... fine. there's nothing i can do. anw, i think that running through the possible cases is a must before one even begins talking or doing smth. that's why over-stretching the band has drastic effects.
HERE'S WHAT'S IN MY DISPLAY NICK.
terence will burn your accounts books - don't stretch this band too hard. it'll hurt. I MEAN IT.
ps. this goes out to everyone. i'm serious.
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: Changes-
I remember 365 days ago there were 8 people sitting around a round table. It was a day where these people were celebrating a day of hardwork about trying to sell their merchandise remaining from the previous year. In a campus located at the west, the alumni n teachers decided to go for a steamboat dinner. These people promised to meet up again every year while remembering the pioneers of the cca, or in this case, first 3 batches.
In a table where sharonbaby, nazziefuzzie, stefan, penguin, gabrielpatrick n somemore, we had a fun time then. But over the past year so many things happened. Prolly only one person's left there. The rest're gone. But definitely, never to be forgotten.

Title: 19 means SHIOK! (:-
Hey!!
ig 19 have been superbly awesome, apart from all the dirty ideas brought on by cutter n co n influencing the rest with it... but i'll never forget them n their names. that's for sure!
hannah, shupei, dominic, qianhui, cutter, wenguang, adam, keane, weeshung, max, wyeley, huiying, chantel, tianye, isabelle, jessica, grace, zhanglu, deborah, jojo, keasberry, leslie, suying + me! simply fantabulous ig 19!!
This bunch of fellas here, who went along for the past few outings, are real good at spreading their vocabulary of filthy actions n words. haha!! ask cutter n he'll show you into a whole new world of mental retardness with all sorts of funny actions. i have one currently, but i'm not showing!! let it rot for a while. haha!! (:
Then there was 1t19!
Freakingly scary mann! cos of the rashes n stuff some came then some went missing for a while, so i can't really remember all their names. but here're some of the pics during the 3 days!!
okay, if my order's wrong. PARDON ME!!

oh! i missed some out. sandy n shiyan!
It was real freaky that everyone in t19 weren't in their comfort zone n felt so isolated such that they couldn't bring on the cheers they learnt from their previous igs. but thankfully someone stepped up n led one. the best part is, that person was from my ig!! (shows alot on how good facils we were right o.O?) haha! isabelle came up with this 'ole ole ah ah' thing. how ironic, we were supposed to be in shiok house... haha (:
Jeanne's rather vocal online. It's like, when i was talkin to her some day ago, she could bring up so many ideas, including 3 to 4 lines consecutively. Then there were times when i couldn't catch up with her. Or maybe i was rather sleepy then. Anyway, it shows alot on her character! haha :D
I'll ask chye for the pics for shiok house soon. but seriously, this must be the best group i've ever worked with so far!

Title: finale!-
Hey!
I was dead ytd. but everything's sooooooooo cool! (:
We, as in Nadine, Audrey n WeiQi, were extremely late when we were supposed to reach kallang by 7 to set up the games. But for whatever reason, we were still on the bus at 730. That's when nadine became very worried. plus the seniors wanted to cut some programmes, this stressed her out eventually cos she never wanted to cancel anything. thankfully audrey was so calm with everything and her "never mind, i can manage attitude". I somehow found it amusing when nadine made everyone feel the pressure yet cheeko was in her slow and steady mode. Def somfing to learn from!! (:
So our first activity as shiok house was dragon boating. Real sadly, I couldn't be with my class since it could fit 23 people - su, mr aaron n 21 ppl from the class. But joining krygs maj joy chuan with t7 people was equally fun! cos chuan gave them a cheer like this "one up! two up! three up! four up! five up! six up! seven up! what's up!!" smth that's so much coincidence n useful in times like this. Anyway, in this boat. I've got this robert as instructor again, same as last year. wow! out of the so many instructors out there! but this time he introduced us new terms. there's the midpack, backpack, boosters n some other term in front! i forgot btw. haha, the 'backpack' word just never stopped me n this j1 grace (from my ig) from laughing!! haha :D
As for the bonding games, it's so cool for mr aaron to join into the starch attack game. he's the class' ht n that game's about stringing up everyone dipped into disgusting fluids through the sleeves. eww right? meanwhile. the highest footline game just got me stare at the team in amazement. really. cos they're just so blessed to have someone (this girl called michelle) who can do a split! just imagine how we tried without anyone like that during the facils training!
The last part was the best. really!
I loved our entrance for finale night. It was truly short n sweet with our pck music that just had this funny element to all other houses' serious entrance n ultimately grand music. and the coolest is that we brought out the anti-climax!! esp the first drum rolling, it was so funny!!! then the "piack" sound with our plates. super la!!
The comic relief by michael n anthea was the "wow" of the night. The effect of that was so influential that it's somehow similar to those good movies out there; you might not remember every single bit of detail throughout the show, but any line from there you could immediately tell what it is about. Their theme for it was ppt about school rules. In fact i remembered them talking about the escape routes, things to drink before lectures, introducing authoritative figures, attire n how to avoid gettin a spoilt day at school n just after school. it's just like whatever we've heard for the past year was smashed into one session at finale night! SUPER FUNNY!
Our cheers part was simply the best. I said it once before but i think we did a great job cos of nicole n joc for all those meaningful lines n cheesy ones that still rings in my head when previously i had to stare at the words yet still don't get whether they would sound nice. I'll post the cheers some other day! (:
I also liked some parts where the j1s put up a skit. ours was so awesome such that they used the mocca advertisement by takin' off one guy's shirt. good thing's that we didn't get scolding for that, in fact we had a good laugh! :) basically all the skits were interesting, really all. just that i thought voila's one was a little too long n the excitement die-ded for a while. ya. but i kinda liked the way they interpreted other houses' themes rather well. or maybe not too well, but the general idea was there i guess. anw, i prefered that ole (green) had the idea of using red (my house's colour! haha) card to the things they didn't like about the skit. It put a smile to me which was rather new to me. I never knew they'd try to cross the colour border! hahaha! :D
alright. that was it. thank goodness tiff listened to me about the story just before finale night. i always wanted to let it out about the truth rather than people seeing the surface which is often false or forced. anw, i dunno whether what i'm doing is right for me. i'm merely trying to balance things out on my own. but if i can't do it on my own, i'll just stop playing this rubber band.
till then, bye! (: smile!!
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: 对战-
谓大佬!自己知自己事啦!明知自己口咁颗凸就唔咁'hao3'! really very 啰胆 when it's like when 懒pro懒cool 个pose is shown without taking things in a more fun way you know! the worse is that the environment's supposed to be more of a relaxing surrounding.
sigh, enough of ranting here. it's freaking scary to see 3 people in my ig coming into the same class! yep i got the whole shock of my life to see so many here mann! then the best part, there're 6 marists n 4 ijtp in this class out of the 19 that turned up. full domination mann! the coolest thing is that one from the 6 turned out to be the htc while one from the 4 became the assistant!!
anw, had a crap day to start off. it's all about taking a sip of curdled milk. when i was pouring milk from the carton in the fridge which had an expiry date till june, i've got this idea that it'd be safe, even when things came out in solid pieces. foolish me. next i attempted to taste it. it was still alright when it was in my mouth, but the next moment it sent chills down. i wanted to spill it so badly, with all those soury liquid flowing across my tongue. it sucks alot. in the end i found that i had no breakfast but disgusting fluid at home.
speaking of that, our shiok intro was fantabulous! like what on earth mann! yep there were some cock-ups here and there, but all the last minute rehearsal was worth it. at least we brought laughter to those fellas down stage.
the last programme of the day was frisbee match. odac versus non-odac! learning the forehand throw nicely was fluke for many times, but the feelin' was freaking amz!
alright, it's rather weird to be almost shaken out through different people. i'll name them - su in the morning, kc before leaving school, ivan on the way home. i won't be tellin' how they actually did it, but thankfully i came to my senses.
i think it's rather obvious the hope i had yesterday kept me alive this morning. well, no one knows about it so... ANW, it's even more obvious that catchin' that smile simply blew me into hyper mode. it's not about how good-lookin' the person is; one can be called the worst looking on earth, but if the person feels happy straight from the inside, anyone can see it on the outside. it's like those people in the third world countries. yes, they might be visually unpleasant. but if they can escape from their anxiety and worry into a world of happiness, regardless of the troubles hiding inside, that's the greatest visual pleasure one can find. really!
lastly, my hopes got dented again after reading smf. but it's definitely a day to remember!! (:
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: cure for sandfly bites-
Q:
We are going to Bribie Island for a holiday. My husband reacts to sandfly bites. How are these treated?
A:
Avoid exposure as much as possible. Apply crushed ice or cold water packs for 10 minutes and repeat often. Some find application of vinegar or Stingose helpful. The non sedating ant-histamines may give relief. Calamine, Eurax, weak cortisone cream, Pranatal powder to the skin may help.
I have no idea if it works, but wish it does! (:

Everywhere I go, all the places that I've been
Every smile's a new horizon
On a land that's never seen.
There are people around the world
Different faces, different names.
But there's one true emotion
That reminds me we're the same.
Hey.
I'm back after nine hours of sleep. In fact, it's the longest for the past n weeks! maybe that's why I'm feelin' rather tired still. anyhows, this post shall be about in front of those juniors, behind the scenes and the weirdo things before i dropped dead.
OH! day 1 was rather cool when everyone was so quiet and was kinda in the crouching position and bent knees. honestly, i had this feeling too! for all the fear that i might not be accepted by those fellas. it's rather obvious when our icebreakers were quite a failure too, seeing that our people didn't really do much forfeits. haha but thank goodness there's su. she did the intro to the rest. then there was a long break for the talk somewhere in between we managed to sneak some time to get back to my class. it was soo awesome to see so many of them again! I have no idea why but gabriel's hair now looks more amusing than before. during break lizzy madly preached about my nick to the juniors! ohmy! next was the worst thing happened to me as a facil. wth. losing stuff. haha, this crappy feelin' lasted me throughout the whole day mann! even when we were settling the shirts and stuff after everyone left.
really many many thanks to anyone who helped me in one way or another in forgetting that trashy notion in my mind. there were many indeed, but the most amusing must be from nicole. she was like, "i'm gonna kill you if you say that again..." but she could never do it in an angry way. so i ended up laughing loads really! hahaha!! :D
day two began according to schedule. that's goody! but the real bonding happened from the amazing race. for some reason i had to think of all their cheers and cheer them on to start, how ironic! i can't really remember the rest, but i'm pretty sure those lads just loved to kill their seniors! the second station was the water bucket and ivan n i were splashed like no one's business! i also liked the way they told the ghostly story by calling piong to the centre of their circle and screaming at her from behind and grabbin her leg. there's also the cheering of momma, which was soo awesome! oh! rearranging those people randomly in the line seemed so cheeky, testing if they cheated was much more cool when i was putting my fingers at their eye sockets as if i'm gonna blind them! then they had to memorise things that i would never do - the vision n mission ( i guess!) we didn't have enough time in the end, so we missed kc's station as we moved onto the mass bonding games. the first was jacob's ladder while missing the slippery game, where i gave them their first nightmare by splashin' their collected cups of water at them! haha! it's nice to see them releasing their lungs through screams :) !!
ok, spamming things here don't work. i'm feelin' rather tired now, maybe i'll carry on some time later. for all the things i know about, from " i don't feel part of the group right from the start" to all the b****ings everyone makes behind the scenes; they do hurt. but fine, i'll get used to it soon, wishfully.
learn to smile, terence!
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: (: elastic band-
Hey.
I think the previous days were the happiest days of my life. Rather i should call it the most fulfilling ones. for all the madness around like losing almost everything daily. it's not really nice here but they included ipod plus paints, banners and morale all the way.
there was also the introduction for which we needed to get in to dance the mass dance. i knew it wasn't right to be at the self-moved spot at the last minute, in fact i'd have blown up and started scolding the rest if i were in drama for this problem. but somehow or rather vic or yinting, either of them, kinda made me quiet. lookin' back, i thought it was foolish for me to have foiled the entire plan if i made any noise. so embarrassing! thx (if any of you happen to come across!) haha!!
ig 19 turned absolutely fantastic from day two onwards. well of course not really. but seeing all those colourful ice blocks breaking and mixing into rainbow-coloured water was a pleasure to see. well definitely there were some residue which didn't mix well, yet something's for sure. there was never hatred feelin's! even when su n i forced them to cheer or do any funny actions. really thank God for this plan. or maybe, i've learnt how much to stretch in this elastic band!
i have rashes at my right arm now, most probably from the detergent. honestly, i have no idea what's the real culprit. but prolly from pa. anw, speakin' of that, shootin' water at people with loads of mud was ultimately funn!! it's like, bcos it's merely a running tap with a hose, i had this control over how hard the water can come out. so sometimes i gave them some water massage at the thighs, some at their butts, others at their backs. the reward? seeing all sorts of mud flowing down the drain. anw, sooooo fun!
bazaar was interesting, yet sad when i couldn't be part of the scene. nonetheless, setting up the notice was nice too, considering that i had no time to bathe then. but what struck me the most was that i had to be a messenger who doesn't know what both parties wanted until very late. the recipient rejected the call, but this fella never knew why the sender kept pestering for so long. it all boils back to the elastic band theory; the more it's stretched, the excitement and entertainment level goes up. the only ways to solve this is either to hope that the person pulling this has no more energy, or snap it straight away. apparently the recipient prefered the former.
In my elastic band, i was playing alot these days till i have lost my energy to carry on.
yup, so that's what happened (:

Title: splitting time-
hey
i've just got this feeling (yes so obvious that i'm lying) the day i went pushing with the crowd was also the day which might have been soo wrong if i did smth else.
anw, i've lost my voice since morning and the only thing i'm doing is merely listening to music plus lip-singing. well, i can't sing anyway. but this sucks! esp on the first day of the year! dang! just imagine i can't turn up in school for my retarded throat! shucks!!
btw, 30th was rather interesting (oh, why would i post boring stuff here!? so anti-climax!!) in the sense that i went for a boarding school tour, somewhere which looks like condominiums all around. oh! i can't tell ya the details, cos i might get people into trouble. but it's definitely something that's unforgettable! (:
then last night i was almost crazy. took some drugs just to stay awake after mad day before that. one thing, we've got the coolest cheers around! it's sooo true. meaningful ones? we've got them. easy to remember ones? we've got them. non-cliches? we've got them. haha! but we were rather slow in other parts.
oh! v tired!! bye (:
yup, so that's what happened (:
