# Surprise!!
Yup, surprise surprise! I have finally found time to blog.
Yay, jz to say that life's been rather low at times. Didn't get my EDB offer, but NUS and NTU accepted me. Missing my friends.. if i have any true ones to begin with. Wanna watch Spiderman 3, but no point watching it all alone... Oh, and James' blog got a Reuters' mention! Cool eh? Yup, i found that out before James i think. No idea why i was blog surfing. But back to the point, James, you put a realy good summary of 3! I love that Nazi shot! Hehe
Other interesting things that are happening... Beta won cheerleading (although there were too many traitors!) Gamma is once again overall champion (yawn.. we know we are the best.. thank you=) of Track and Field. But Titans is coming up, and this year should be n different, although they've banned teams from practising the log throw event.
In other news, the weather hasn't been to nice recently. Actually, it's been nice.... TO SLEEP IN!! Every morning its getting harder to wake myself up.. EEE... And the fact that i have to walk to sch in the rain doesn't really motivate me much either. So far, the latest i've woken up is 6.45. Once when i overslept, it was 7.19! Haha, reached school late.. duh.. but thank God it was wet weather assembly so nobdy knows. SMILES!
In class, the mass Media is making its rounds, with the coldness striking once again. Other people who are in one way or another different would be Carian (who's either les, straight or bi, i have no idea), Xuewen is trying to kill herself, many are wishing PW would jz disappear (although get destroyed and sent to hell and even hell would reject it cuz "it was forced there" and many other reasons so when it comes back to earth they would send it back to hell again)
Yes.. and the performances are coming up, and big surprise, im going for Chinese Drama's production. Big thank you to my translators! But that also means i'll be skipping Mambo Night (i think the HUGE banner has an even HUGEr (haha) typo!.. Mumbo.. hmm...)
But to Ying Lin, Amanda and Rishik, i did promote it to my classes ok, ask 21 and 06!
Yup, for sports, today, Basketball and Soccer are playing their matches! All the best ppl! Volleyball girls are out, so i'll be removing the ad soon. But they;ve given it all they have and it wasn't their fault when ur opponent injures ur team... But it must have been accidental.. i think.
So lets support them! Oh oh! BIG NEWS!! The TJ guys soccer team WON A MATCH!!! Against ACJC! 1-0!! First time in 3 years! Woo hoo!! There is hope yet! We also won Climb X, an inter-JC rock climbing competition, the First Aid team also won their team category competition and and other CCAs seem to be doing not too bad, but it could be nicer. But im not here to judge their performance. For College (yay) For Nation (??? which one again? SG, MY, CH, IN??)
Now for the weather forecast. Heated days are coming up with the HC nominations starting up. Also, stormy weather forecasted for this saturday in LT2 as the 31st SC vote for their new EXCO. Unpredictable weather as no clear head seen (presidential candidate). Cool days expected ahead with many performances coming up, after the student bands, it'll be PDPs at the Atrium. And concert galore forecasted as PDPs fight for ticket sales. Ok not fight, but yeah, try to sell their tix.
I'll most likely be going for Guitar, Choir and Chinese Drama.. oh and TJ Drama. Sorry to band, i dun think i can make it, YA comes first. Modern Dance, i dunno if i'll still be in SG by then. Chamber, no idea where or when, so maybe an update would be good?
So that's all for the news, next time, please tune in using Google Desktop RSS Feeds to my blog to get the latest info (its my latest craze!! Google Desktop OWNS Vista sidebar!) and do check out iGoogle as well =)
Ciaoz!Labels: Beta, Carian, Chamber, Chinese Drama, Choir, dance, EDB, Gamma, Guitar, HC, James, NTU, NUS, SC Exco Elections, soccer, THE Mass media, TJ Drama, Track and Field, Xuewen

# To The Ends of the Earth
Its back. Blogging my entries. Been so busy I really had no time to blog. I mean, travel, eat, travel, eat, ang pao, eat, eat, travel, travel, eat, get the pic? So I just wanna rant a little (relatively speaking of course) of how the days have really travelled past.
Thursday
Day after Valentine's. No idea what happened on that day anymore... Hmmm... Recall going to the GO for a talk with the VP and some ppl. Then was off to beer garden to meet Gabriel. Had a nice talk over... a can of soya beans. This proves I am SO not old yet. Then talked quite a lot which actually surprised me but that's ok, it was a long nice talk abt church, uni, life everything. Then bought dinner and my favourite milk (my choc milk went missing after i got back to Singapore!!! Please return it to me... strawberry one finishing already...) Did laundry (i think) and read newspapers and slept. Road run the next day. Dreading....
Friday to Tuesday
CHINESE NEW YEAR!!
It was the big race. Actually, not really for me. I just took it easy with no proper warm-ups. As a matter of fact, even no preparation. Should have really ran a bit more before today but it was too late. The girls flagged off first which was good. And bad when she came back in like lightning timing. Apparently 14 plus for 3.5km?
Then it was the staff race. The staff reluctantly gathered, except the few enthu ones who were out to win the race. Mr Sim gave his usual speech and we were off. But some weren't. Shan't name names but there were cheaters... Boo... at least i didn't. Survived the lap, and the outside school lap and finally the second slope up unLucky Heights, I faltered... to tie my shoelace. Ok, lame excuse, but I walked up after that. Completed the remaining of the race ahead of some girls who had like a 10 MINUTE headstart?? I mean, both the tortoise AND the hare would have finished by then. But then again, who cares right if you have no NS? hehe
Completed the race in horrendous timing. Didn't even get my position card. Sat around with Phildia, Yi Ning and random other people that were around. Some however got their allegiances mixed up and ended up in GAMMA house, but then again, whos complaining? GAMMA ROCKS!!
The guys ran. Came back in 18plus for 5km. Amazing, but the first house captain back was Keng Mun, from GAMMA!! Cool sight for the house cap to bring the house flag in at the last straight. So some RTs thought that it would be cool to have a relay race during sports carnival, except, instead of using a baton, we use the HOUSE FLAG to pass on. COOL!
Then it was jz random slacking, performances were ok, to say the most. But Karilynn, Jia Chen and Jeryl were performing for band. Which I got "coerced" into buying a brownie and then some popsicles from JoJo's class. Evil Eve tried to get me a massage but i guess it would have been good. Oh well, sorry Evelyn. Then it was the results and as expected...
S-U-C-C-E-S-S ! !! !!
GAMMA GAMMA IS THE BEST ! !! !!
S-U-C-C-E-S-S ! !! !!
GAMMA GAMMA BEATS THE REST ! !! !!
YEAH!!!
Ok, u get the beautiful picture that Gamma is the first ever OVERALL champion for road run. *ignores the fact that beta won best cheering* Slakced around more cuz I was still waiting for my trip back to Malaysia to come.
Then there was some "Yee Sang" tossing by TJ which looked more disgusting than anything. Temasek Wave was a major flop. So its not worth an entry.
Then it was time for lunch. Met 06/07 under LT1. They were there like almost forever. Got "forced" into buying more popsicles and gave them away to 06 and whoever passed by. At least I only spent $1 treating them and got the guys to buy $1 each as well. Smart eh? Waited an eternity for some guy who was seeing Mr Tong and went off to lunch with some SCIP ppl. Evil Eve was one of them and Eng was there too. Random other ppl who I mostly dun remember anymore. Actually, I remember Amirah. Cuz Malays are so rare here its disorienting.
Came back to watch the OGLs bond (read : cheer for no apparent reason). Then I decided to play the guitar and learn some bass for the ever-pro Aaron. Taught Mr Eugene the bass line for All Day and My God. The only two bass lines I know. haha. Enjoyed playing the guitar. Watched mass dance in horror as the Entertainment IC blasphemed the sacred Mass Dances of TJ. Ouch. But I shall remain an observer as the baton has already been passed on. Wwhat remains is for the 30th to ensure the tradition stays. *MAJOR HINT* I did succumb to the temptation and did 1 mass dance near the 06 OGLs. but then stayed away after that and played more guitar.
Left after seeing some Warcraft where the craft should never have landed. Rushed my packing and took 14 to Golden Mile. Packed lots of unnecessary stuff and forgot my Malaysian wallet. Darn. No HP line. Bus came, was almost late. But it was cool. There were no jams at customs at all unlike what Shuming graciously warned me of. Txs Shuming. But the jam started in JB. It was bad but I was enjoying Volume 2 of The Fourth Dimension. Yay. Slept the rest of the way and didn't notice I reached only at 1.30am in Pudu.
TRAVEL TIME : 8 hours 20 minutes
Met sis (yay) and mom (YAY) and had a milo and the famous GM-ed fried chicken. Met sis in the car (yay) and crawled out of KL. The jam was bad. Shall not whine cuz its over, but it was bad. 2 hours just to get out of KL/Selangor. Usual time, 30 minutes. Travelled at the speed of a Malysian traffic jam. Cutting an extremely long story short, reached Kedah!!!!
TRAVEL TIME : 7 hours 30 minutes
Also, along the way, I managed to drive for a few km. Passed a toll plaza which the engine died at. Guess I'm still me. Need more lessons. Maybe Hui Ting can teach. hehe. Now I was in Kedah, the land of good food. Really good food. And here's the summary of the Pigging out I did in the year of the PIG!!
1 Nasi Lemak with chicken and sotong
1 Ice Cream in a cup
1 Ice Cream cone
4 Nasi Kandar (which is the BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
2 Steamboats
2 Chicken Wings
New Year Goodies - Uncountable, about a medium container full
2 Slices of sis' chocolate cake
2 servings of breakfast cornflakes
1 Bowl of shark fin soup
5 Quail eggs?
Drank lots of Sarsi and F&N Orange
1 can of Green Tea Isotonic Drink
VEGood Carrot Juice
1 can of Shandy
NO Oranges
NO Chinese Tea
Yup, thats the pigging summary of my new year.
Visitted 3 houses in total. It was nice. Got my ang paos. Yay. Happy guy! Was actually quite bored there, but it was still nice being back in Kedah. Soon, it was time to go. Although I took some pretty nice photographs. Too bad I dun have them here. Maybe will get my sis to send over. It was time for the journey once again.
I got to drive for about 40 minutes!! Yay, drove at 90km/h for the Penang stretch (that was the speed limit ok...) and then 110 to occasional 120. YAY. Almost banged the guy in front of me cuz I forgot the car has a 2m bonnet in front. Thank God for mom who pulled the handbrake. Shock of her life from my driving I bet. But I was rather ok, except a tendency to gradually slide to the left. I blame the alignment. Hee.. I even drove quite well in the rain but it all came to a stop at Semanggul where we had dinner and changed drivers. Back to sis who easily did 130?
Then the jams came again. Shall avoid ranting but it was horrible. Reached home at 11.30 Viewed my blog, tagged and slept
TRAVEL TIME : 6 hours
Woke up later than I should have but still got there on time. Only to find out the bus to SG was down... So they gave me a RM5 refund and gave a tic to Larkin, Johor. So I didn't wanna say anything and jz took the tic. Happy that I actually have a bus to get back unlike those people who I see cheated on the news...
My blogging time is up. Time to mark ur essays 21. The story will continue.
TOTAL TRAVELLING TIME (thus far) : 21 hours 50 minutesLabels: Chinese New Year, Driving, Food, Gamma, Kedah, Road Run, Traffic jam
