This suks. Yeah, literally. I got 14 for my L1R5. reason? Combined Humanities[B3], Physics[B3] and English[C5-.-] . without these, lol, it'd be 14-2-2-4=6. har har. impossible la.
Although i hope i can get 6 A1s. Well, this means my english would've to improve by the thousands. I mean, I FAILED MY COMPRE[gasp,10/25]. Luckly Compo had higher percentage and so i saved my butt..Scarcely. 56 is just barely a C5. Oh and, my physics would've to improve, basicly by better understanding the topics[i'm okay at this,just that i didn't memorize the laws of refraction, which caused my downfall.]
Humanities. argh, i'd expect myself to do worse for SA1, den suddenly do well for CA2. Why? Cause only then would i have finally used the skills our teacher taught. okay, dun feel lyk posting anything else. Just a gentle self-reminder:
Nil Sine Labore[Nothing Without Labour].

Aftermath of Convention '06

2006-03-19T17:47:00.000+08:00

lol.crazy topic this.. firstly, the song 'voices that care', 'at the beggining' and 'we live we love' are still echoing in my head. Just hope the cd has d songs inside, cos i'll spam at e beginning on this blog.har. anyways, took my english oral on friday, thought it went well. except for the fact that everyone did better than me la.-.-'
back to the topic. heard frm sources and ppl themselves[not to be named], are having crushes on others.lol.
whatev. just cant seem to forgot the convention la. It's certainly etched into my mind the fun times we[McKinley] had over like..18 hrs. Okay, gotta jet, or gonna get emo liao.haha.

RGS PS Convention[co-organized by VS]'06 Day2

2006-03-18T21:21:00.000+08:00

Too much to write, so I'm just mentioning that we arrived on time, and that we took 190 frm orchard stn this time.

Arrived wif a smile on my face[nope, not fake smile] den went in the CLC. Briefing for the "Staton games" soon begun. Everyone at least giggled or laughed and jonathan was dam sad.lol.Some typo error.
The first game was some blindfold thingy. we were supposed to stand in a line and, in our grp, blindfold ourselves,except for e first and last person. The station master will throw water bombs at us, while we navigate thru obstacles like bricks and chairs.
then we had to spell out 'peer support' using scrabble letters. With our feet. Fun? duh. cos it keeps dropping, so haha.den marcus was the one to spell it out..lol.
"Puzzled" came next and lol, we got puzzled indeed. think abt it, how do u fix a puzzle bilndfolded, while your grp members who can see have their hands tid behind their backs?o lol. my hand was behind my back, so i could see. we onli managed to fix like..a quarter of it? den we had to do a forfeit before we could get our letters[solve the puzzle for a prize~!].
after that was another game involving blindfolds. an obstacle course which had chairs and tables blocking our way.tricky eh?
Then the easiest game was next. Spiderweb. Go thru' the linkway that had raffia string all over and not touch the strings more than 3 times. just do crawl under the strings and oni touch once. that was d strategy. we completed it in 1 min.20secs.lol.
after that was the game dat involved throwing a water balloon to each ofther using plastic bags. we failed that too :( but..lol..it was fun :)
anyway, we had lock-picking and dat was easy. we tyco got it correct. xian ying made a good guess..haha.
we were first to finish.[ Go Mckinley go~~!! ]

then we had the sharing sesh, lunch and the ANNA-gizers.[ lol.just hilarious.] balloon stomping was fun. i was alive for a bit longer than i expected. the sudden jerk frm my shoelace kept the ballon alive.
ANYWAYs, next was the training sesh by Mr Chu.[no offense, but it was a tad less fun than d other sesh's we had]

!TALENT TIME!

lol.highlight of the day? Kinky[played by jun hao], Mentos[Joseph] and Bird[Marcus].
but most of all..NICOLAS star of the whole thing. watch his solo here .

Anyways, the RGS SPSLs performance was stunning. those girls can move siar.haha.
But soon it was over. Mt. Cook won.

After that we had the secret msg and candle thing back at the CLC. it looked great lor. the heart shape and PSB word..
SING-ALONG SESSION WAS GREAT LORS.
the song "at the beggining" and "Voices that care" is still stuck in my head siar. like jarren puts it, so emo sia.
den we did VS Unite.kewl. everyone was in dam high spirits.

went home wif fond memories.=) <3 e convention~!!

RGS PS Convention[co-organized by VS]'06 Day1

2006-03-17T20:09:00.000+08:00

Previous dayWei Liang, Pocky Thong, Andrew and I, planned to meet at somerset MRT station at 7.15 am.
Well, woke up at..5.45..had some breakfast then set out to somerset. Pock Thong started sending sms'es' to me, asking me if i was leaving my house yet. Here's a time-line, just for fun's sake.

0615-left house

0620-bus 87 came(=2 stops)

0625-arrived at bedok interchange

0628-train arrived

0635-approaching bugis

(Andrew sms'ed' me that he was app. bugis)

Coincidently I was on e same train so we met @ city hall

0640-City Hall(transfer train.)

0655-Somerset MRT station.

So lol. We both had very bad estimation for the time the train ride would take. In fact, as you can see, 20 min.s off. Then PT and WL arrived, and we looked for 190. It came and we confirmed with the bus driver whether it went to RGS. he said no.Dismayed, we tried hailing a taxi.

Then we made a 'grand entrance' into RGS[ oh stunning, a taxi, how grand.]Signing in at the security guy there, We looked for the Cyber Learning Centre, where we signed in and got our convention Tees. nice shirt. Den Matthias came to us and said: Don't swear in convention. Use 'Koref' or 'chun ming' to replace e words.
Some suan man..but..haha,still funny.

McKinley was my grp name and I also found that the girls outnumbered the boys.
These are e members
( in no particular order): Chao-Ying, Yi Tyng, Aisyah, Clare, Jessica, Natalie, Wei Ting, Xian Ying[facil], Jun Hao, Marcus, Joseph, Daniel and Darius[facil] ( and me,haha)
We were e biggest group. I was appalled.

Group Identities. Lol. We got ours tied to our Shoe. We drew stickmen on the mountain and also signed below it. Pretty kool eh?..lol here's the cheer[ the same tune as the Fan-tastic advert by Macs]

Hey PSLs, there's something new,

a tasty cheer that's just for you!

We eat rice that's twice as nice,

with tasty cabbage and lettuce too!

HEY!爬山了吗？

If not, go up to McKinley..

We make convention, FAN-TASTIC!!

Badabababa~ We're Lovin' it!

haha, it was funny. After that we had icebreakers and we had our first training sesh. interesting stuff u can learn frm interesting ppl.lolx.

After a dog and bone game, we got into our next training sesh on Acquire. The Speaker was..Hilarious. His cheeky laugh, was a bit scary though.haha.

then talent time prep came and we decided on musical. more elaboration on that in the next post.

then 'karaoke' sesh was next.

Appalled I was, as i never heard any of the songs before. All of them rocked. Esp. We live We love. Jonathan[writer of e song] skill'ded' siar.

After debrief we[VS PSLs] fell in outside and replied to "How high is ur morale?" with "Sky High!". had dinner at BK den went home to sleep liao. Overall-10/10.[fun seh.]

Sec3 Overseas Adventure Camp Day 4

2006-03-16T21:28:00.000+08:00

Woke up @ 5.30. I went like, 'wtf..hu's alarm clock was that..o right jorven set it at 5.30.' Well..heard of KIASU?
3E is a kiasu class. We woke up early so tht we wun have to clean toilets and that we can choose somewhere easy to clean. well. First group..whee. In the end..my helf of the class had to pack tents so no diff. at all lo. dun even want to mention food. always e same. organic rice.
After everything..it dawned on me that this camp was over. No more "Who belongs to this", "Hey guys" and other wacky stuff u hear from Chun Ming, Camp Chief.
Bus ride was sleep time. that is, until we were on S'pore grounds.
The first thing we did was VS UNITE. kool. we rocked d bus[too bad just the red shirts and a few others in the class cheered]. then we did 'purple light', 'I ask my love' and then when we reached VS, a photo was taken and we did e spelling cheer. it was crap cos everyone cheered in greek. Well, at least the red shirts got it correct. I think. Bye for now. Next Post is 'coming soon'

Sec3 Overseas Adventure Camp Day 3

2006-03-16T20:23:00.000+08:00

Feeling rather sluggish..I woke up at.. what..6? forgot to check todae. Anyways it would be a very..'slackering' day.. Only Polo Dinghy and Bamboo Raft Relay then we're off to Sekolah Menengah Kahang[which i think stands for Kahang Seondary.] where we play friendly sports matches wif them and my job as a red shirt to cheer them on and convince others to do as I.
BREAKFAST..shocking. Bee Hoon instead of organic rice. Maybe they ran out[praying hard..]..who noes.Polo Dinghy was execptionally fun. I actually scored a point for my group.Sweet.Then I realised i had a blister on my finger becos of all e 'high-speed' paddling, but that was much later so off i go back to e event at hand. My team lost 3-2. Close fight tho. Fun too. I skipped the bamboo thingy cos i really didn't feel like it.[who would after losing half your specs?(the lens fell of..INTO THE MUDDY WATER)]
LUNCH..NO! Organic rice was still at large(amounts)! Anyway, the other school was so near, no one had time to sleep. The bus trip was..5 minutes.haha. Well..from what i noe the scores are as follows:
Basketball-26-17
Volleyball-2 sets out of 3[25-8,25-12]
Table Tennis 3-2
Soccer 2-1
Sepak Tekraw[dunnoe e score] got thrashed.
DINNER..yup.no need to sae it. can guess what food lo. Anyways. CAMPFIRE NIGHT.
My group did a skit on a show called Faux Pas . 2 ppl mixed up thier papers and one sang a love song to the grocery guy and d other read a shopping list to his gf. Hilarious i tell u. Next was d solo by jonathan on the Strawberry Milkshake/Strepsils advert. funny one too. then the whole gang did spongebob squarepants famous 'c-a-m-p-f-i-r-e s-o-n-g song'. the lyrics are as such:

Let's gather round the campfire

and sing our campfire song,

The C-a-m-p-f-i-r-e-s-o-n-g song.

And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong

But it'll help if, you just sing along..

BOM BOM BOM..[faster..]

The C-a-m-p-f-i-r-e-s-o-n-g song.
And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong
But it'll help if, you just sing along..
BOM BOM BOM..[faster..]

okay that's it. too fast already.

Well, there was some really..'hot' performances. The Main one was Nicolas' POLE DANCING. Mr Maran even put it as 'very convincing'.

after that was dinner and well..time to sleep. My whole tent was yabbering, talking crap and trying to sleep until 12++...*yawn*

Sec3 Overseas Adventure Camp Day 2

2006-03-16T08:57:00.000+08:00

Morning started off with me desperately trying to get more sleep. That blardy jorven..shine that torchlight in my face whenever i made an attempt to get some Zzzs. i gave up and checked my watch.5.30.GREAT.
Went to e toilet after that(well, nature calls). As expected i even required a torchlight for even a short trip to e toilet. It was just too dark. Only then did i realise what's dew.My shoes were wet. The tent was wet. Anything outside the tent was wet(fortunately, the inside was dry).
After breakfast(ORGANIC RICE), we half the cohort set off for the Gunung Lembak trek, and the other half set off for their Farmland Topo. Being in group A, I had farmland topo first( basicaly, it was map reading and planning of routes). My group consisted of..well, my tent-mates. We successfully completed 70% of the topo(7 out of 10.). After that was lunch..and yeah..organic rice again.Now it wasn't too bad as we were getting used to it..sorta..
Lunch finished, we were seperated into groups for our bus ride to gunung lembak. we all slept on the bus(energy conversation). well..i shall not elaborate much on the climb. What's there to write anyway!? okay..it took 2++ hrs to go up and down e mountain/hill.
Tent-bound, and all tired, we had our dinner and our night activites. My class had to do campfire preperation and that we did. The Topics(of which we had to choose 3), were:1. Faux Pas[basicaly meant SANG], 2.By The Moonlight, 3.Strepsils, 4.Strawberry Milkshake, 5.Passion.
Hilarious. We chose...ALL of them.After that was night snacks and LIGHTS OUT.[that means sleepy-time]

Sec3 Overseas Adventure Camp Day 1

2006-03-12T07:47:00.000+08:00

Bags Packed,bottle filled, I set out for school, awaiting the much emphasised Sec3 Overseas Adventure camp to begin. After getting a briefing on what to take note of as we approach the customs, we set off for the campsite in Kahang,Malaysia. The bus ride to Tuas took only about 45 minutes or so, but the ride from the Malaysian customs to the campsite, KOREF, took about 2 hours. Most people took the liberty of time to take a nap.
Arriving at the campsite, I approached the Dining Hall/Assembly Area uncertainly. Next, we got briefed by the camp organisers on how to pitch our tents. After approximately half an hour, the tent was up, and lunch was ready.
Soon, I was met with a weird situation where I didn'y really know what was that on my plate. I thought to myself..Beans? Only after a bite did I realise it was RICE. Brown Rice. A little harder to chew..but it was lunch.
Finishing lunch in a matter of a few minutes, we gathered as a class and was organised into 4 different groups. My class was in group A, so the nightwalk was tonight. But before that, we had 'Asli's Water Obstacle Course', followed by a raft building game, where they gave us 6 bamboo poles, a few long/short ropes and 2 large drums for us to float on water. We were supposed to tie all these together in any design we wanted, hoping that the volunteers in our group do not fall into the pond.
And..we did.Yenriel and Hin Kai, who volunteered to steer the 'Unsinkable', fell into the water as the raft capsized.Too bad for them? Hahax. Anywho, the other team which had the scouts in it managed to keep their raft on the water and also managed to steer it won the competition.
Soon, night fell on the camp and we all had a wonderful time playing. Dinner was served, (Yes, Brown Rice again!), and then we were briefed on our night activities. As I mentioned before, we had the nightwalk. It was supposed to let us..how do i put it..appreciate nature at night time and also absorb some of the villages' nightly habits. And that we did!(the nature part) The stars were aplentiful, unlike that which we see in Singapore. The Moon lit our path as we wondered through the whole farm(oh yeah, We were camping in a padi field where they also grew ducks[We ate them too=x].)
After that 'fun-filled' activity, we had our night snacks and water parade,where we were 'forced' to drink water so as to prepare us for the climb the day after[the Gunung Lembak Trek]. Lights off came at 10~11(didn't keep track of time) and we slept like babies[duh..it was tiring].
