# Back
Hello ppl, i back from Malaysia
Quick recap of what has happened so far! Took a bus at 11.15pm back to SG. There was this family of a mother n her two daughters who were on the bus. They were very friendly and nice (= one of them is even a model who models in Johor and KL, the other's a Form 4 girl in Johor Jaya. Anyone heard of that school before? But anyway, it was quite funny cuz they started talking to me first and the form 4 girl was like so nervous lar when i speak to her, she will either laugh, or answer some other thing which i did not ask and then laugh. Nervous laughter but after a while she got more used to it. Of course it didn't help that i speak too fast (as always) ad her english wasn't too good. Her older sis was also very nice, she's now a full time model, and she's very pretty! :D
Wanted to ask her if i could take a photo of her, but then.... haha... i was too embarrassed. Oh well, missed the chance. But at least i got to know her a bit, and her name too. When i talked to her younger sister, the younger sister said her name was Beautiful. Haha, so its Vivian (who's beautiful) and Beautiful. Lol.
Yup, it was a nice bus ride, except for the driver who thought that everyone wanted to listen to his collection of Malay music so he let everyone on the bus listen to it, although it was like 2-3 am... Some people are morons. At least i confirmed 3 things, i dun like Malay rock, all Malay rock songs are about love and lastly, all songs go in this order - opening music, song chorus and then a super long e-guitar solo, chorus-with-tonnes-of-e-guitar, more solo and end.
Okay, so the two sisters n their mom left at Johor, and i continued on to SG. Weird thing happened at the customs office, the officers were like detaining ppl and all, at 3 am.. so sad for those ppl. Then after the customs check, the bus i was riding told me to change bus.. so sad, my water bottle left on that bus.. Oh well, took the new bus, reached beach road, cabbed for $11.40 and reached Sennett at 4.30am. Slept in the hall till 7, reached TJ at 7.30 for work!
Reached and met JoJo on the way in, had morning assembly, Sorry Zhiyuan. Wrong day to see u raise flag eh? Then had all my work come in, wah... a lot sia... Met some of the students, had western Thursday with JoJo and Eugene and then also met Cai Yu and Cass and Co at the marquee. Chat up with them before leaving. Oh before that, let me just announce that my birthday is on the 27th of JULY!! Wwhich is also the same as Evelyn. Cooll eh? Haha, my "twin", two years late.
Then went for music prac, which was not too good, cuz we were like, not used to the stage, i was not used to the bass and... yeah, lots of not used to. But it was not that bad lar, maybe just me not totally fitting in yet. But it was nice being with the music team once again! (= (=
Okay, Friday was work too, and i alsmost came late. Met and talked with more students, wore the top that was the same colour as JoJo's, which obviously got us into quite a bit of humiliation. Okay, maybe just jokes lar, not that bad. Had a second lunch with Julie, Jaren, Sarah, Zhiyuan, Zsa Zsa and then went back to TJ and stoned a while under the stage.
Then had Bible Study with Claire, Ah Xiu, Rebecca, Pei Zhi and YG. It was a good BS, and then i rushed of to give Claire her GP tuition, which was so delayed.. eek... then had Pentecost Friday at church.
We practised a bit more until time was up. Then Ps Khoon Mei came to the stage and handed Vanessa 4 more songs for us to prepare during the prayer. Haha, already we were trying to get the 4 songs we practised right, and on the spot we had to play 4 more! Lolz. Yup, so we prayed and then played and it went ok, but could have been soooo much better. Like authoritative confidence, as Rachael put it. Yup, as singing our hearts out. But i guess it also came from the fact that we'd been up there for quite a while. 2 hours plus, so not too bad i guess?
Okay, thats the service, then most ppl went to Simpang but Hosea and i went home to Sennett. Then today happened. Early tuition with Benjamin. He didn't do his work, taught binomial expansion, and then ate and did my manual laundry again. Got Gilmore Girls Season 2 from Claire (or her bro rather) and then nw did this (=
Nice to be back! Oh oh, Another announcement, i got accommodation in NUS!! But dunno where yet lar. I'll keep ya guys updated!
And pray for Carl too, he got into a bad accident.Labels: Beautiful, Gilmore Girls, Jaren, Julie, Pentecost Friday, sarah, Vivian, Zhiyuan, Zsa^2

# Without Work
Monday
So its finally come. Im unemployed. Retrenched. Saded.
Yup. But i still made my way back to TJ like Fe drawn to a magnet. Ok, more like i miss the people there!!
Yup, was back in school, but i woke up like super late cuz i was going crazy on MSN with Yumei. Haha. And first thing i did in school was to pass Yumei the College Anthem. "JAZZ" version. Haha, i hughly doubt it cuz every possible genre is in this version!
Yup, then bummed ard the staffroom. packed up some of my stuff. Got my stuff for NTU ASEAN zapped. Then i walked home cuz i forgot to take some certs. But i was being an idiot cuz i didn't bring anything from my table home. LAME... So now i still have a lot of stuff to bring back. They include
-leather shoes
-blue octopus =)
-03's tee =)
-21's boxes =)
-many cards/notes/papers
-certs
-dictionary....
-pillow (dun bother asking)
-random stuff like water bottle, pencil case...
Ok, i shall bring some home today.
Slacked in the staffroom quite a lot. Then got my stuff certified and went for college day rehearsal. Also left the 4X4 Rubik's with Yingen who passed it to Zhiyuan. They (including Julie, i dunno why.. haha) were making Invest souvenirs. Haha, i think i looks nice, but too tiring to make. Hehe. Lazy.!
Went for a REALLY USELESS college day rehearsal. Yup. USELESS till i have NOTHING to blog about. And even more sad was that i was late to meet Jean for Thai food!
Met Fer n Co. in the way out. Feel sad for them. Beta HC... Met Claire n Co too. Claire helped me mail my shcolarship stuff. Yay. But she also told me the wrong bus to take to Suntec. Boo...
Had to make a switch to 14/196. Did it at hostel's bus stop. Too bad didn't see anyone there. Took 196, met Jean and walked into Shaw Tower. Which looks like a hidden shopping centre! Then looked for Aman who was hiding in the toilet! Haha! Met her at Subway and then Xinyi (who Jean went and caught) too as we made our way to the Thai Restaurant. Dunno the name though. Haha
Let's see what we ordered.
-2 Plates Thai Kuey Teow
-1 Plate Thai Noodles
-1 Plate Thai fried rice
-1 Bowl of Tom Yam Soup
-1 Green Curry
-1 Plate of Mango fried chicken
-1 Plate of Kang Kung
-1 complimentary Mango salad
All this for only $8 per person. Ok, $32 in total. Not bad ryte? But it rocks even more cuz the food actually tastes really GOOD!! Yup, and then we started off eating normally. Until we started to get a little full and started talking. Then we were sprouting more nonsense than there was food on the table. Haha!
Ok, we talked a lot, i mean a lot! of crap. Haha!! And we were apparently there for quite a while cuz the shop uncle had to ask us if we had any more orders cuz they were gonna stop taking orders. So .... it didn't matter and we talked even more. Haha!!
Ok, eventually we had to leave and decided to go n get ice cream instead. From Tom's Pallete. I think. Really wierd plavours they have there. They include
-Wasabe lime (suicidal)
-Tau sa piah (erm, eat the real thing better)
-Teh Tarik (same like above)
-Black sesame (its really black, and... yeah that's all its good for)
-Pink guava (refreshing)
-Chocolate banana (oooohh!! nice!!)
-Chocolate (nice!)
-Im sure they had many other random stuff... but i forgotz liaoz
Haha, this shop really quite cool, they let u try all the flavours before u buy,a nd i think the four of us did jz that. Must have looked really bad cuz we tried almost everything, and ended up only buying two small cups. Hhaa. Aman and Jean shared one, and Xinyi and I shared the other. They had Pink Guava + Choc. We had Banana Choc + Choc! Which looked like pure choc! Haha
Then we were laughing so much outside the store, it was quite funny for us to go back and get tissue after leaving the store for abt 20 minutes? Haha. Yes, we laughed quite a bit at the customers after us.
We talked a lot more crap outside and eventually left. Haha... missed 10. It was rather lame. Took 14 instead. Talked even more. What else is there to do on a bus ride ryte? And then went to Jean's to watch Desperate Housewives. Really evil show. And after that Jean was really sleepy and she had work today. I didn't. So i left, walked home to Sennett and slept.
Tuesday
Woke up relatively earlier. Did nothing except rehearse "my" (after it was cut down like a totem pole) speech for college day. Then packedup my place a bit. Ate lunch. Parked. Blogged.
Tuition soon. Not feeling well. Sneezing a lot and feeling too cold in the staffroom. Oh, peeked by to see Invest. I think Zhiyuan saw me, unless she was waving to go for the NY invest. Nice seeing some of my students again. =)Labels: Amande, Desperate Housewives, Jean, Julie, Parked, Rubik's, Shaw Tower, Thai Food, Xinyi, Yingen, Zhiyuan

# Break Free
Monday
Guess what, i've been listening to or is it guess what i've been listening to? Either way, it's All of the Above by UNITED! Oh yea. And it rocks! Haha, if any of u have the time to check, i find the e-guitar in Hosanna at 2:37 quite funny. But after a while, it starts to sound cool. Oh, yes, let me tell u my favourite songs from this album (this is so not related to monday, but who cares)
1- Point of Difference - refer previous post
2- Devotion - chorus lyrics rocks!
3- Found - although i initially ALWAYS skipped this song in Mighty to Save, they revamped it so well it is actually much easier to listen to. NOTE : I hate songs where the singer/s do/esn't sound natural at all.. like when they have too "ghostly" voices. Refer to Found in MTS or Lead Me To The Cross from AOTA.
4- Future Decided - bridge rocks! (and yes, playing bridge rocks too, but not as much as this!)
5- Saviour King - JoJo, i admit the build up for Still is STILL (pun intended) the nicest, but this when they go into chorus for e 4th time, i love the vocals!
6- Selah tracks, especially the one after Devotion, Draw Me Closer (i think) which has quite meaningful lyrics as well
Ok cool, enough of publicity for the album, which totally rocks, oh yeah, enough. Back to..
Monday
Oh, lemme see.. what happened here... Or rather... what didn't happen.. Carian ar... Ok shall not blame her lar, my fault for not bringing back the GP Resource Package. So 03 had to do an impromtu lesson on advertising. Yes, 06, the whole lesson was NOT planned, but i knew what it was about at least ryte?
Continues and finished my THE (yes, its there for a reason my students..) Mass Media intro and even had to take 06 out of 133 because i felt it was so stuffy and they were like.. falling asleep. So we had Alfresco GP with everyone on the ledge outside the art room window except the nine (thinks of the coffins... hmm.. ee...) Of course the stared during the period change must have been funny, but at least they were awake. I think... Were you?
Anyways, had lesson with 21 where i did the current affairs quiz which was also screed up. Wanted to zap for everyone but some teacher had astack of like 500 papers to zap so i tried to print it. Then some other teacher was printing 37 pages... Sian!! So i finally did my final current affairs quiz. And it was too easy.. darn..
After that, i ran out of time giving back essays that i had to hold some of them back. And talked. Then went to the sports com like i always do on mondays, and talked. A lot! Haha, pretend to want to mark essay summore. Hehe. Had a nice chat with Zsa^2 abt many random stuffs. Then she finally had to catch her drama plane. And i still think u have a yellow/PINK wallet. Haha!
Then talked to Shuming too! Had so much to talk abt! Hostel seems more scandalous than ever!!!! Really man! And i think M4-06 will forever remain legendary! Shuming agrees! I think. And shuming, u must behave lar... always go visitors lounge.. aiyo.. at least dun kena caught can? And dun say what i taught u abt the magnetic door and masking tape! All e best for ur EZLINK too.
To Julie- u can do it! U will survive! All e best to u and Jaren too, not for Zhiyuan! Haha! for HC!
Den ate dinner alone and came home alone and marked all the paragraphs from 06. Oh, productive sia!
Slept
Tuesday
Only one lesson and i remembered to bring the sweets. YAY. Apparently it wasn't too nice cuz it was too sweet... the Fe-y... dun get it right? Then had nothing else to do so i finished off my gemming with eugene. I won thanks to IMBA wraith slate. Oh Denise came back today!
She had shocking stories to tell of Monfort and the staffroom was alive again wh=ith her being around. And i might consider working where she does. Can you believe it, up to 40 a day in tips?? Yeah, but then Monfort stories were cool, and the info abt 3 years a level restrictions on scholarships.. appaling!!!
Then did e book for Kathleen and Shums, haven done one of those in ages. And then went to 222. Taught a few ppl how to do Rubiks today. They include Sam, Yumei, Zhiyuan, Jaren. And Eugene has a 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 Rubiks!!!!! I WANT ONE!!! 3X3 is the classic, 4x4 is called Rubik's Revenge, 5x5 is called Rubik's Professor!So cool! 4x4 one makes the 3x3 one look like a noob's toy! So fun! I think Zhiyuan has mastered the first phase of 2x2 solving for the Revenge cube! Yup, had tuition today, bus came late but i think it was my fault. Then i decided to blog. Then i decided to sleep
Shout outs
Carian, Shi Yun, Valarie - heard u guys got Gold! CONGRATS!!
Sek, Song Hon - get well and heal soon
Yumei - Jia You!! Dun give up!

# How Great Is Our God
Monday
Today was movie day with my classes. And, yeah, really God has been really good! He helped me a lot with this whole movie thing i wanted to do with my classes. Firstly, the movies, i had no idea where the movies were gonna come from, cuz i didn't have a DVDRom on this com, but God provided it through a portable hard disk. Then there was the expertise of projecting the video... For some unknown reason (at that time), everytime i tried projecting a video, it would appear black on the screen. Thank God my first double coincided with Siok's so we could combine classes! (=
Then it was the duration of the movie. 1 hour and 50 minutes. Impossible to screen in any double, but even after a long setup delay, it was just nice that break was after that and some stayed on! Yay! 8 if i counted correctly, which is more than 50% (=
Same miracle happened for 06! PW was after my screening session, and Ms Yanti wasn't ard cuz of MC, so i had the next period all to myself to finish American History X! Yay! But some in 06 were falling asleep while some wanted to run off to see soccer. But they were nice and stayed on *CLAPS* =)
Okay, the story itself, i regret the very coarse language. Really sorry to my classes, but ignoring that, the movie is really something solid on the big D.
Then to 21, the first up for presentations. Sorry i looked very black face, although i didn't mean too, im like that. Sorry ya... Didn't mean to expect so much of you guys. Im jz a very "presentation" kind of person. I expect presenting views to come naturally, so appearing unprepared sort of, yes, pisses me off. But i guess i did overreact. Sorry, i'll see how things go on Friday, but as for tmr, jz enjoy k? I'll pray that somehow, the movie will fit once again.
Oh yeah, Holocaust Remembrance Day wasn't on Monday lar, even u guys said it was in January!
After school, it was tuition. Not too bad once again, except there was once question i didn't know. Maybe any of u guys can help me? Its on electrolysis. In order to coat a piece of plastic with Chromium, two plastic rods are thinly coated with graphite, connected to a battery and immersed in Chromium(III) sulphate solution. The question is, "Why will this method not work for Zinc?" I think it refers to reactivity series or E-naught values. Txs for any replies!
Ate macs for dinner. Sorry Tristan.
Slept!
Tuesday
Shall skip what happened after my class, but for 03, presentations started. Not too good as well, but hope it gets better! Then after the part i skipped, Ms Ng asked me to help her relief CG28 and 12 for her periods that day. Not too bad i suppose, cuz i took 28 and i knew some of them. The presentations were overall good, except the fact i didn't know that it was a double period until someone asked me. Haha, and too bad that guy is gonna get killed by his classmates. Oh well, things happen. Lol!
Then after that it was 12, with JoJo inside there before me. Aapparently, according to JoJo, some of them were scared of me and didn't dare ask for sweets from her. Haha, and they weren't as prepared as 28, but some in 28 were abt their level too. But i guess its jz me being over expectant of presentation standards...
Went for badminton after that at Sigplap CC. Wasn't on form today, and got tired real soon. Plus that CC is white, so hard to see the shuttle. And i tried my first few jumping smash from the back, or is it base, line. Realise i never actually could do that. So i tried today and ddn't turn out nice. Cuz from the back, i usually whack to opponents back or drop, can't smash cuz i dunno how to jump and smash. oH OH, Anyone up for a game of badminton?? I'll treat u bandung if u win? But if u in school team then diff story lar, cuz i failed the school team trials... haha.
Then went for tuition. On the way there, Mrs Quek told me its cancelled. On the way back, she said its on again. So i walked back again. There was this dog that barked at me 3 times lar.. I guess he was fed up too with me walking past his gate so many times. Haha.
Ate dinner at their house (so nice ryte, only God can provide such a nice tuition place!) and then taught tuition. Even had apple juice to drink while teaching! *BIG SMILES!!* Then headed home. Slept.
Wednesday
Relieved for Ms Ng again on 28. Not too bad, finished what i set out to do. And then had my own class. Not as good as i wanted, but yeah, its the over expectancy thing.
Major update of the day, Release of SC Results.
IT'S FINALLY HERE, THE 31st SC Elects.
Number of Councillors (without TA2) - 36
Number of TA2 (separate elections) - 6
Yes the 30th followed our "results slip method" but they stuffed it in a balloon and asked the nominees to burst it. Oh well.. Still had the "grade numerical" and "grade alphabetical". Haha, i still laugh when i see it!! I think the template is exactly the same. Jz modified.
There were happy people, abt 25 or more of them who came for the results ceremony. And there were the teary ones. Guys were the main crying ones. Diantha handled it very well i would say. Very proud of u! *smiles!!* Others jz left, while some had to be consoled. All in all, a solemn occasion.
So here you have it. The 31st Elects.
the full council - 42 (including a now merged TASC)
How the lockers will be allocated, i dunno, cuz there are 36 so maybe the Welfare Haven will have to make way. And TA2 councillors will face some discrimination maybe?
The SC room seriously isn't made for 42 ppl, so that'll be interesting to see. And new locker covers too! Haha, well, thats taking it a little far, council camp first. Be afraid Zhi Yuan, be very afraid. Know how to swim? Haha!
Oh Oh, this is an important part of my post!! Read read: Law Yifu Eve!!! Welcome to TJ for ur visit!!! I really thought i saw u, but i said, can't be lar, that's Julie only, can't be Eve. But guess what, it really was!!
And she so nice say she came back to see me!! Haha, although it was obviously Chinese Drama but ignorance is bliss. Haha. Talked quite a lot with her outside LT1. Sorry didn't go in and u had to fan urself with ZO Cards. Then finally went for dinner with Yumei, JarEN, YingEN, Zhi Yuan, Diantha, Aaron, and two other Elects whose names i can't spell. Haha... At BK. And it was my second meal out after a very very very nice lunch with JoJo and Eugene at Pizza Hut after they mistook our order! Yay, FREE LARGE PIZZA!
Shout outs
Cass-i'll be searching and praying
Dianthaaaaa-u've handled it really well
Zhi Yuan & Co- CONGRATS!! 31st Elect
Li Sze & Co-CONGRATS!! 5-0 thrashing
Shermin & Co-CONGRATS!! 4-0 thrashing
28 and 12-it was nice teaching you
Evelyn-im still holding on to ur pen. SorryLabels: 31st SC Elects, Aaron, BK, Chinese Drama, Dianthaaaaa, Eugene, Eve, Jaren, JoJo, Julie, Pizza Hut, Results slip, Tuition, Yingen, Yumei, Zhi Yuan

# The Surprise
Monday
The start of the week. Aa start with hope after being recharged from the weekend. Yay. I now, i need that recharging more than ever too cuz monday is my 5 period day. And it did start off quite well. Did the crossword with 03 and 06 and the answers with 21. And then taught Zsa^2 maths-trigo. Then it was off to Toa Payoh for tuition after a quick dinner and drink. Met Yumei, Kari and Jeryl, Jaren at the Library too. Made my spin-off highscore there and till now, nobody has beaten it. Its 20k, around there. Haha
Tuition was resumed after a long long break and it was chem. Finally money started flowing in once again and it was a rather short feeling trip back and on to the next day. The Surprise!
Tuesday
Day started off normally, except the photo-copier decided to spoil so i had to really rush my printing stuff. Did my AQ with 03, who .. erm.. were rather silent
Firstly, it was a little shocking to see ALL and i mean ALL of them outside the classroom unchanged from PE. So all the girls and some of they guys had to go down and change. Not wanting to waste any more time, i handed them the article to read on the way to the toilet. From this i learnt that... don't bother. Haha.
So the class went on... after losing most of it to the toilet. And eventually i ran out of time and dun think they really liked the assignment at the end. Haha. But im sorry, u guys need to learn to how to write. And yes Zsa, i so agree with u that style cannot be taught, it can only be learnt.
And at 10.00am, it was the end of my lessons! Haha. Nice timetable ain't it? But that's not the nicest part yet, cuz ahead was a SUPPLIES from my cell!! Walking back to the staffroom, i saw Matthew standing outside the staffroom, soon it was FX, James and MeiYian all ard! Haha, lemme explain the reason why i didn't have a shocked look, cuz firstly, i was more confused. Lol!
Was wondering why Matthew was here, then thinking, this isn't church, why got FX and James and all. Then after abt 5 to 10 seconds, it clicked that this was a SUPPLIES! Haha, quite slow eh, and by that time, the shocked look already pass its expiry date. So we headed down to the canteen for food. This cell pigs out quite a lot! So if i put on weight, u guys know where it came from la! Everyone bought western food except MeiYian, who packed it later anyway. Talked a lot and even planned ... does Gabriel read my blog? Better not take that chance
Then they left and i went on to have a second lunch and then it was ... hmm.. i dun quite remember. This week seems to be flying by me. But things that i found particularly meaningful are
-my wonderful cell SUPPLIES, the card, gifts and encouragement given
-being able to teach ppl maths (cuz i feel GP is hard to teach, sorry my students, im still trying hard)
-being encouraged by ppl and also being able to encourage others
Ok, shall fast forward the rest of Tuesday and move along cuz i really did loads of nothing.
Wednesday
Can't recall what i did in the morning other than watch FMA. Did a lesson with 06 and they were also quite tired apparently from PE so didn't really get the class going. Tried to improve today with 21. Brought up stuff relevant to them and got them talking a bit more, but that's Thursday *chases the intruding Thursday blog words away*
Then after that, rushed down for lunch cuz Calvin didn't get us lunch cuz the Jap stall opposite school was closed. So we went down. Oh. We means Jojo, Eugene and I. They both packed ther food but i forgot to pack so i missed the remaining of FMA while they ate and watched. Oh well, i went to get a drink as well and met some of the o6-ers at the drinks stall. Then headed back an anime-ed a little more.
It was soon staff conference and it was utterly pointless for RTs. Shall speed up my blogging cuz i have LOTS of gp essays to read for the upcoming Words Words Words. After staff conference I stayed a while with Zhi Yuan and Zsa^2 who are BOTH in drama. And CONGRATS to ZY on passing her audition to get in. Then, hmm, can't remember again, haha. I think i went back to the staff room, or didn't i... hmm.. oh well, that was pretty much wednesday. Im sure i went scroom and ate dinner with Di Hui and Natha.
Then chatted A LOT. Aaron was the main one and yeah, it continued today (Thursday) Nice chatting with cass too (=
Thursday
Woke up late. Oh well. Prepared for lessons and soon it was lesson with 21. It was a nice time. Took my time teaching the AQ so it wasn't too rushed. But still i spoke too fast. Sorry 21. Esp those who are new and can't follow. Tried to help them by asking them if they could follow and taught a few personally, but i guess its still a long way eh...
The lesson was also rather dead but i tried this time to liven things up by talking abt their stuff and made a wrong move with table tennis. Sorry YingEN. But i think it prevented some ppl *winks at J* from falling asleep. The nicest part was after the lesson. Stayed back a while while some of the 21-ers were finishing up the AQ. Talked a bit more to Chun Hai, Yee Wen, Yu Ting, Hong Yu and Qiu Hui. This really helped cuz now i can recall their names better and found out interesting stuff like Yee Wen's citizenship. Shall not post it here in case she gets.. eerr. nvm.
I was more worried that they had no food to finish than the whether they could complete the AQ. So after they finally left... phew... i went to eat with them. Sat with Shuming, Xian Hui, Kathleen and Hui Shian. Kathleen apparently gets high from eating and calls people weird stuff. Ask her abt the Zhu and Jenny! Then went back to the staffroom. Slept.
Woke up for 03 lesson and did the Epsilon version of the Current Affairs Quiz. No idea what Carian (yes, my Malaysian friends, her name is carian) and XueWen were depressed abt cuz they seemed more high than anything else. Angelina was rather blur, but i doubt shes a Diantha yet. But i was more dissappointed that they were late. Oh well, apparently everyone is.
But the lesson was not too bad, it was after it tht was bad cuz i was bothering Raf's class. Sorry Raf. And then went to scroom. Also took a look (that sounds funny) at the new biodata form. It's now 10 questions. No spoilers.
Then went to scroom. Only thing i wanna say, what are your true motives.Labels: Chun Hai, Di Hui, FMA, FX, Hong Yu, Hui Shian, James, Julie, Kathleen, Matthew, Mei Yian, o6, Qiu Hui, Shuming, Xian Hui, Yee Wen, Yu Ting, Zhi Yuan, Zsa^2

# Temasek Idol
Thursday, part II
Yup, after blogging, I did go for class and met 03/07. Funny thing was Mr Tong was in the classroom before that. memories of being a GP rep. Haha. Aand the outdated diskette. Thumbdrives are the way to go man (= So I entered the classroom and there were jz two people. Out of thirteen, i thought that wasn't too bad excpet that eventually the class started like 15 minutes late. Xuewen and Selina were hopelessly lost. Oh well, others were lost too.
But lesson was great and fun. And best part is.... I WON the Current Affairs Quiz. Haha. With a close margin of 5 to 4, but the guys and girls tied each other. So Im the big winner. Haha. Yeah, whatever ryte? Was nice getting to know the class. Will have to read more of the papers though, bet Im gonna forget 90% of their names when i enter on monday.
Then it was off to the scroom to see what was going on. It was manual labour once again with the packing of TI Goodie bags. Steffi Bond and her agency have been redeployed from top secret agents, to Kacang Putih sellers. Haha!
Ok I have a major GROUSE *winks to 21* here. Why do Singaporeans call tid bits "KacHang PutEh"??? Well, it's pretty obvious ain't it? Firstly they don't know that kacang (which is THE correct spelling btw) means nuts, and not random stuff u get from a snack shop. And putih means white. So kacang putih refers to a PARTICULAR type of nut which is white after roasted. Aarrrgghhh!! The uneducatedness of Singaporeans continues to amaze me. But then again, if everyone's wrong, it doesn't matter does it?
Yup, then left for tuition in church with Nelson and AMaths Differentiation. Met Bertrand first though who was doing Sem 2 Matrices of Engineering. Haha, feel so dumb that i forgot how to find determinant liao. So sad. Oh well, eventually Nelson came and we started and eventually finished. Like.. duh. Haha. That wrapped up church and it was back to TJ
The sc were almost done and then packed up and went for dinner. Then walked home with some (which means more than 1) councillors. Surfed a bit online, got frustrated cuz my net here is so slow. Couldn't watch the stupid japanese dance video on youtube and Shing Yee is becoming more evil! *crashes stone on head* Apparently Joanne is too... Hmmm... scary people hiding in innocent looking faces =S
Friday
This was DDAY. Both for me and my beloved junior Ying Xiu. It was FireFly interview for me and final project, Temasek Idol for YX. Day started off bad.
Had to rush my certs and all, and eventually forgot one cert. Ah, nvm that, got most of it in order and left it at the GO for certifying and went for lessons, saying i would ocllect it at 9.30. But little did i know 9.30 was lesson time. Darn.
Had the crossword with 21. They seemed to be rather stuck at first with most guessing brands as 1 across but its NOT the correct answer *hints to next classes* But slowly they did get better. Some of them even got the lame ones like "she keeps quiet" *pokes shuming* haha. The clues didn't really help I guess, i dunno, comment anyone?
Then it was my first time with the new 06. I forgot where the lesson was supposed to be so I walked back to the staffroom, only to find out it was in the same class... So lame... So i walked back with my laptop and all and set it all up again. 06 was even later... Baa... lessons cant end on time.. never...
Did the same thing although it was hard to remember whos who still. Except a few who stood out but I think I'd forget all other than the GP rep Abishik. But it was fun and guess what, I did the current affairs quiz again. Nosurprise ryte.. Haha, the Team White lost to Team Green and it was good fun, i think. But they were also randomly shooting. People, please please start reading the papers!!
Okay, play time was over. Haha, play time, why did i use that phrase anyway? Lolz.. And it was soon rushing off to EDB. Took my certs from the GO and Mdm Aini was so nice. She saw I was rushing and sweating so she offered some perfume. MEN's perfume if you're wondering! -.-''
I knid of liked the smell too! Haha. A cab took almost forever to come but i still made it ot EDB before the 15 minute buffer time they asked for. Took the lift up to the 28 floor and my ears were already feeling the pressure. Met some other ppl who were there as well. Majority from RJ. Majority for GEP. Me? Only foreigner... Sighs. But it was cool. Jeline i think from RJ was the quite friendly bimbo. Yup, i think she knows shes quite bimbotic. Quote of the day was from her friend. "Jeline, stop being bimbotic, this is an interview for INTELLECTUAL people" Haha! We were all laughing in the quiet and pristine lobby of EDB.
EDB ppl were so not punctual lar! Wwhen it was 11.40, I found out that the 11.15 group hadn't even gone in yet (they do in 30 minute blocks). Then we knew we were in for a long wait. Initially the silence was so thick we were like in different rooms already. But after a while, we loosened up and started talking. Quite interesting ppl. Jeline guessed Mark's name cuz he "looked like a Mark" Yeah ryte, pure luck i think. They were from the same primary school and knew each other and even their friends. Mark-HC, Jeline-RJ, Me-only TJ.
There was this other girl who came later and she has a younger sister in TA1. If anyone knows who she is, gimme a tag? This girl was from RJ. And it was so funny cuz Jeline asked if she was from HC when they both were from RJ. We obviously bot bored and started making up lame stories like how the waiting time was actually the interview and there were hidden cameras to see what we were doing or the windows were actually one of those one-way screens and they were actually watching us. Mark even waved to the window. Haha.
Then came the stupid part. Mark asked us if we wanted to try the EDB Mint that they had. He said he tried it and it tasted like Mentos. But I said, it's our turn any moment and what if we get called in with the mint in our mouths. Jeline even crunched the Strepsils in her mouth before she entered the Lobby on 28 lar... So he said jz swallow lar. Sounds logical ryte?
NOT!!!! I stupidly took the mint and, yes it did taste like mentos. But after 30 seconds (I had already waited 30 minutes) of taking the mint, they called my name!! I was like.. crapz..
So I did swallow the mentos and my throat was burning for the whole interview lar... So stupid.
The interview was normal. The usual why did u choose FireFly and tell me abt some problems you encountered and how u handled them. So i spammed my council stories like mad.
Then came the part where we were joking about outside. The Singapore 6.5 million target. Mdm Lisa (my interviewer) asked what do i think the potential problems are when SG hits 6.5 million and i rambled on abt job competition and congestion and bla bla bla.. I was apparently (or obviously even) off topic cuz she had to ask again. "What are the MAJOR problems u would see, from EDB's economic perspective". So i restructured my answer and yeah, went on to more friendly questions after that. She even said i had better be good at the current affairs cuz I was a GP tutor. Darns. So biased lar!
And while the Mint was still burning, the interview came to the last parts abt do you have any questions abt the scholarship. Did the usual where would i work kind of thing, asked abt the shuffling, if they provided training and all. Yeah, and it ended quite nicely. Even the fact that i did go for EDB's Next Big Thing last time helped as she recalled some TJCians. Told her abt Zhongshan and Sean who were there as well. Yup
After I came out, Mark came out as well. The blur pork brought along only ORIGINAL copies of his certs lar... So he had to zap them at EDB. But then again it was quite wise cuz he could zap it for free there. And the zap machine at EDB so chim one. Touch screen, green light, auto detect paper size... Jeline and I had more fun playing ard with it than anything. Was quite funny with how one cert came out with the top part missing. My fault. Haha!
Then we waited with Jeline who was waiting for her friend. Talked more and then we made our way down after girl-from-RJ-with-sister-in-TA1 came out and then we parted, hoping we would meet again.
Then MRT-ed back to Bedok and met Grace. W/Talked back to TJ with her and met Julie and Zhiyuan on the way. They were meeting Yi Ning and hadn't eaten so I walked backed to the interchange and ate with them. Saw Yi Ning at the double pedestrian crossing and she didn't dissapoint, being slow as always =p But i think she realised we were laughing at how slow she was walking and started running. haha
She was in the nicest uniform in SG, the Meridian uniform. Jx realised i dunno if its spelled meridien or meridian. Oh well. Its the nicest blue ard! Yup yup. So we talked a lot and decided on BK cuz Macs was full. Yi Ning led the way and we did find it. Ordered and ate my first BK meal in a long time and soon it was time for Julie's PDP so we had to walk back
Things I found out
-Julie's bullied at home
-Meridian takes attendance at lectures
-Triton is the Meridian equivalent of Gamma (=
-Zhiyuan stays very far from TJ
Talked even more and Julie soon had to go for PDP. Met Dianthaaaaa under the stage who was with Pui Yee (though i forgot her name twice) She introduced me to a fun (and sadistic) game. Happy Tree Friends. And after a lot of trying, I eventually beat Jeryl's highscore. Haha. 15410 I think was my record. Lolz. Im sorry Jeryl, jz lucky i guess. Brought Dianthaaaaa to see the rehearsal of TI for a few seconds before she had to run off to her LEO GM
Now the day shifted to Temasek Idol. It was only 3 something and the room was already all set up and ready with lights and posters all in place with the laptops and everything. I helped with some of the setting up like taping wires and running ard with bits and pieces of information. It was dragging once again and i left jz before the final soundcheck. Got Julie's ticket and coulnd't hear Yi Ning on the phone. So sorry, she had to msg me. Haha. Then met JoJo and went for dinner.
It was late so I rushed a quick chicken rice and met Pearlyn, Zhi Ying and Mei Hui. Took Zhi Zhan's chicken rice back for him too. Haha, Pearlyn still welfaring ppl (=
Reached the audi and the arena was ready for stars to shine.
The atmosphere was just right, except perhaps the ludicrous PSI index in the room, courtesy of Zhi Zhan. From now on, I shall call the smoke machine the IndoFire. Haha. Qquite cool how it was remote controlled though. And before long, I was wandering ard with my students. Met the Temasek MTV people in the upper gallery. Who? Yes, the Temasek MTV, namely Shuming, Yi Ning, Julie and Shi Min. Go figure out why they're Temasek MTV.
Ran back to the control room and soon, the show was underway and I can honestly say the atmosphere was electrifying! The show started of with the theme song of the day I'll Be There For You (popularised by the Friends comedy series) by the Rembrants. The idols walked onto stage with a thunderous applause (with desibles of screams as well). Back in the Panic Room (read AV Control Room), the pressure and stress was on to get everything going right. Adi was the main projectionis, handling the backdrop and videos seamlessly. Soedar did the music with the help of ZZ's iPod for intervals and Claire was the lightings woman.
The atmosphere was tense in the room as votes were coming in even before the idols performed. Judges were straight to the point. Oh, they were Mr Daniel Chung, Ms Kwan and Alvin Tan of J3, Project Superband. After a great round of performances where Gordon peaked and Imran sank while Xiang Yun outclassed everyone, it was time for the groups
SPZ started things off but sadly, were quite off themselves, getting some negative comments. Same for Sarah and Zhi Wei and even Kita. Quaver were the obvious best although they weren't at their best. Sounds smooth ryte? Nope.
In the Panic Room, the walkies talkies were going almost non-stop and Adi was furiously swapping cables with Soedar for each video. And then swapped back for the voting procedures. For me, i voted
VOTE IDOL S4 S4 S4 S4 S4 S4 twice and
VOTE IDOL G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 G4 countless times. Hahaha!! In case u're wondering, thats for Xiang Yun and Quaver. But sadly, Xiangyun still got the least votes, but shes only TA1, so she has a bright future! Quaver got in and soon, it was time for the break. PSI went up to the max as even the outside was smoky.
Guest performances were really the best, with Alvin Tan and Chuang May being obvious winners for solo and group if they had participated. I need a HERO. ahha
Then things were tense as Arthi and Gordon made it through and Quaver and Kitaa were the finalists for the group. The American Idol Theme music really sounded nice as the results were announced!!!!
Then it was the solo category which i couldn't be bothered with anymore cuz Xiang Yun was out. But in the band category, Kita vastly improved but were no match for Quaver's killer song, My Immortal. The lightings were perfect and i think Yee Chiun took my advise on wearing red-black. The atmosphere was really there!! And at the results, it was obvious that Quaver was the winner and Arthi got the solo category. Err.. dun really care, but QUAVER WON!!! CONGRATS!!!
So they had confetti thrown down and Arthi and Quaver re-sang their last song and we ended with I'll Be There For You and the TI video.
The Panic Room was now over. And it was clean up. It was fast and smooth. Had "kachang puteh" from the sc. A thank you talk by my junior and Ms Fong and then we cleared out.
Last project and soon, its gonna be the 31st. An amazing night. Superbly done. 3 generations of PCs were there as my senior came back. But the last words of this post go to my beloved junior Tan Ying Xiu and thats all from me for Temasek Idol. Kenneth. OUT.
You more than made me proud, u have something to be proud of yourself! It was AWESOME!!Labels: Dianthaaaaa, EDB, FireFly, Grace, Jeline, Joanne, JoJo, Julie, Mark, Mdm Lisa, Mint, Shi Min, Shuming, Temasek Idol, Yi Ning, Ying Xiu, ZZ

# New Thursday
Haha, a quick little post before i run off for lessons again with the "new and improved" 03/07. Yups. Today has been quite eventful. Started off the day by seeing Mr Eugene do pull-ups and then came back to the igloo (read : staffroom) in the antartic (spelling error, i know).
Then the day got livelier (looks weird, maybe sp as well) as me,siok n aaron went to print the masterpiece crossword puzzle. i had the discounted 65 sheets while Siok and Aaron had 75 each. Within minutes we were done although Siok almost printed it wrongly as she's forgotten how to place the paper as Aaron gave a yawny-warning.
Left the place with our masterpiece but to ur horror, no.39 was missing! and so were two clues... So sad. So the masterpiece was actually incomplete. And Siok, who wants to save trees, decided to print it all again. We were like, write it on the white board lar *laughs together*
Then we decided to give clues and be nice RTs, which we always are btw =p so i surfed the net for pictures and created a rather nice automatic slideshow and soon it was time for lessons. Clues ranged from .... wait... i can't write it here or 21/07 will know the answer. Phew..
Yeah, it was a nice slideshow! Technically and aesthetically, for me at least. Met the new 21/07 in CR232. They were late, but considering their rojak combinations, I jz let it be. And after quite a while, they were all in except Shuming. She was at a medical checkup apparently but then she appeared right after my lesson... so suspicioius... the plaster must be fake! =p
The lesson was ok, i think. Maybe 21 could give some feedback? Did intros the way Ms Kwan did it with the old 04. Not too bad as i could roughly, very roughly, remember most of their names and associate them with relevant CCAs (cuz uniforms, are well... uniform) And they like Spanish footballers and chocolates. Then did the current affairs quiz with 5 groups. Here's how they fared. I think.. hehe
Polo Group - 7 - Winner!
Touch Group - 5 - Close second
Guys -1 - 4
Choir - 4
Soccer - 3
Me - 2
Haha, sorry if the scores are wrong, but yeah, i actually scored 2 points cuz they all got 2 questions wrong. Guys-1 cuz the last row were all guys except for Yee Wen (i think thats ur name? hehe) Choir cuz of SY (dunno her full name, and Valerie), Soccer-shermin and sarah, Polo-cuz they were all in TJ Polo (and Jianhui was spot on for them). Touch cuz of A Dell, ok ok, Adele and Yasmin.
Conclusion of this quiz
-they don't read newspapers
-Jianhui must have been lucky =p
-my laptop or the class is haunted
Then went off for lunch as today was Fryday. And Mr Eugene was late cuz of a Rubik's tutorial. Haha! Then as I was leaving, Phildia came back in with 21! Yay! Nice to meet her again and the first thing she said was that i cut my hair. And Zhi Yuan had to comment that my head looked smaller. Then talked with Phildia, Julie and the rest lar. Followed them to chem lab lesson with Ms Tay.
Phildia apparently doesn't like tall ppl. Or jz me. Haha. And it was quite funny cuz Ms Tay actually let Phildia in. And she was in a purple England top. Must have looked so weird. Oh oh, Julie is SLOW. haha
Then walked further on and saw Mr Eugene in the chem lab. And even funnier was Jojo who was stealing chemicals *sounds the alarm* Haha, so sad that the IP lab had no chemicals so she had to steal 4 bottles with droppers. Looked so funny. Yeah. Aactually thats all i wanted to blog about. Haha. Chemistry is so funny. First with Phildia in the lab in outside clothes, then JoJo stealing chemicals, and finally Ms Quah letting the students out late. And those students were 06. Im gonna see u people soon!
Alrights, back to being a tutor now..Labels: Aaron, Adele, Chemistry, Eugene, Jianhui, JoJo, Julie, Ms Tay, Phildia, Shermin, Siok, SY, Valerie, Yasmin, Yee Wen, Zhi Yuan

# Found
Thursday
It seems so long ago, looking back. It was rather a dull day other than the fact it was fry-day. Eugene and JoJo had quite a fun time giving out points. Sorry to Shermin and co who walked away and missed 1000 pts. Mostly did scholarships and university applications. Mostly a boring day, feeling rather lost. And was actually looking forward to Friday. Mahjong seemed tempting.
Friday
Continued applications from the previous day. Also saw Eugene playing TD with Aaron. Had Canadian $10 lunch as well with the RTs. Nice. Im really not in the mood to blog, but its sort of the reason why im blogging. Just wanna be FOUND. By so many poeple. But I'll be back on this issue. More of what happened next that was quite exciting.
Guest appearance of Jia Yi in TJ. Met her at scroom. Had quite a nice time talking. About council. What went right and the many wrongs. The traditions. The fun. The mistakes. The fights. The people. Its common knowledge that the 29 has been outshined by the 30. We all know they've pulled the right strings in and left some loose. They've held the right people close while for us, its only a shadow to be feared.
A unity we could only hold together has been cemented
Privileged
Yet not knowing the price
Strong
Yet lacking the refining fire
Favoured
Unknowingly masochistic
Great
Yet ungrateful through time
Yet what can a shadow say
Observing
Yet what is lost cannot be found
Stepping away
Council has been good. It always will be, it's the very essence that keeps it going. No matter the batch, the traditions held, the culture taught or the knowledge passed down. It will groom you if you let it. It will teach you if you are willing to learn. To Diantha and Cadence, if you want to run for council, give it your best shot. If you get in, don't waste the many chances to learn and grow. It won't be easy, I know, but it will be harder if you get in and don't benefit from it.
Had a great time talking with JY, showed her 06 and 21 in the hall during the emo time they had. Danced two mass dances and a speedy. Laughed a lot at the chaotic fun-dance. Pointed out ppl like Eugene, Samuel, Cadence, Yumei, Mengting and others from 06 and Julie, Shuming and others from 21. Didn't find 04. Sorry. But then, all good things come to an end and it was time to leave the hall.
Back to scroom and then left to meet 06. Yay. But then realised i didn't have my wallet with me. Made 06 wait quite a lot. Sorry Yumei, knew u were really not feeling weel. Rushed to the staffroom and realised i didn't have my wallet. So I was heading for dinner at Simpang with 06 OGLs + Joanne without any money. But of course they weren't gonna let me starve and Cadence and Diantha offered money. Txs for the offer and esp Diantha for the $10.
Walked to the 2 and 9 bus stop and got on after quite a long wait and a talk on sc life. Finally reached Simpang Bedok and met 21 there. Haha, Shuming was so terrified of the pokes. And i did finally give in to one poke as 21 were leaving. Sat down and took almost forever to order. The menu wasn't very clear or helpful either so I had a mango with lychee dessert and 1 plain and 1 egg prata (read roti canai to Malaysians). Should have ordered my dessert later cuz it came way before anything and I slowly ate it. Some things i found out that night
- Cadence is a VERY slow eater
- Diantha is a slow eater
- Cadence, Karilynn and Dianthaaaaa all wear braces
- Stephanie is a healthy eater
- Yingen and Jaren eat fast
- (i already knew this but) 06 is full of cam-whores. Haha
Then after a very long dinner and queue time paying we left for Yumei's. The surviving people that made it there were just Yumei (duh), Ying and Jar EN, Cadence and Dianthaaaaa.
Had a nice bus ride with almost the whole bus to ourselves then reached Yumei's place which is so cool. Wish I could stay there. Haha. But the rooftop is really nice. Except people that are still high from orientation decide to bang the railings to cheer beats and stomp on the rooftop rather than enjoy the scenery. Took more pictures. Man... One should get Yumei an analogue camera and see how she suffers with film. Then went down for Mahjong and i surfed the net.
Took a swap after that and played mahjong instead, but ended up losing all anyway. Yup, so my mahjong skills haven been upgraded. But this time I could play without reference to the paper. Ok fine, I had to ask Yumei or Diantha, but well, i wasn't totally blur. I think. lolz.
Then had more fun playing bridge with Diantha. Ok, clarification on the scoreline, it was 3-2. So nobody thrashed anyone although i totally owned the first game and she almost owned the last no-trump game until I got control. Haha. Finally got the mahjong ppl to bridge. Which was a good thing cuz 4 man bridge is so much better. Bad thing cuz Yumei doesn't bridge so she curled up on a sofa and slept. Sorry to Yumei again. Then instead of leaving at 11 to get the last bus, we decided to stay till 11.50 to cab home and avoid the midnight surcharge. Jaren got his dad to come.
So we bridged on, was really fun to bridge once again, legally. Haha. And major discovery here is....
-Dianthaaaaa is the ultimate blur queen at bridge! *gives stacks of mahjong tiles!!!*
Finally we decided to leave and Dianthaaaaa led the way. You can so tell that this was a recipe for disaster but we were all too tired to realise. She didn't know the way. So we just walked till we reached a road. So much for avoiding the midnight charge. Then we found a taxi. Without a driver... Dotzzzz... Continued walking until we found a cab and took it home, with Cadence dropping off first in TP, then Dianthaaaaa the blur queen at Simei and me last. For the record, I owe
-Eugene $10
-Zsa Zsa $10
-Cadence $7
-Dianthaaaaa da blur $17
Oh well, it was a nice time (=Labels: bridge, Cadence, council, Dianthaaaaa, Eugene, Jaren, Jia Yi, Julie, Karilynn, mahjong, Shuming, Simpang, Stehanie, Yingen, Yumei, Zsa^2

# More Than Life
Monday
Okays, after emo-ing on sunday, life continued like normal. Still feeling happy but lazy to shift. But I got it done anyway. But that's later. Morning was quite bad. Dunno why I was so drained. I already had the Sunday to myself and still I was tired. Oh well.
But i reached school as usual and really the blur me forgot to bring my laptop charger. So I had the laptop but no power. So it had to run on battery and to make matters better, Jonathan borrowed my laptop for a lesson he was relieving. So when it came back, it had thankfully lots of battery left, but still, i had a lesson to prepare.
Not having my own laptop is so weird, doing a Current Affairs Quiz on an alien laptop just feels wrong. So i tried to get it done by 10am by sending the file back to my laptop. Tried to get the usual images for background but for some absurd reason, i was blocked from Google Images Search page! Why?? Why?? Just beside me, Siok's was working just fine... So I tried to rush it but to no avail as only 2 questions were done and thats more like a question than a quiz. So I went to 06 with totally NO lesson planned.
Thank God they didn't expect one either. Haha, so I basically wasted time with admin stuff, except the feedback part which was the real thing i needed. Then we went off to take pictures. Quite funny how most people were in their ties and others were casual. But we took pictures anyway. More to come this Friday I think!
Then after cam-whoring and getting a nice 4-piece poster, i went back to the staffroom. Did the daily crossword although i lost to the Siok-Neha-Aaron group, i still managed to finish it with random letters here n there. Then Aaron got us a ride to Quality Hotel where our celebratory lunch was to be held. Siok and I were laughing over how it sounded so fake, like : Buy this Quality Detergent or Use Quality Noodles. Sort of the Minyak Angin Cap Kapak sort of thing... Only Malaysians will get it i guess. And Qquality Hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Oh well.. We waited quite a while but no complaints when u get a free ride in a private car of Mrs Neo, so it was cool.
Reached the Grand Ballroom after everthing had started, and the few of us in the car sat down at a table. I ate too much. Haha, but its a buffet, you're meant to eat too much ryte? I ate
-Olive Rice
-Roast Chicken
-Sweet sour fish
-Beef stew
-Hong Kong Noodles
-Some veggie... why???
-A second helping of chicken n fish. haha
-Laksa
-Chicken rice
-Cakes for dessert
-Drank orange juice and water
It was good food, but not excellent or I would have exploded. Walked with Eugene, Neha and JoJo to the MRT and MRT-ed back to Bedok. Took 31 to the back gate which was wonderfully locked so I walked the long way around. Oh well... Met some games com ppl and then some SCIP dudes and two dudettes. Few councillors were around too and they were loud. SC is loud. That's cool.
After a while, heard a familiar tune from the piano. I knew it had to be Evelyn. Yay!! One of my wish list came true!! I didn't have a guitar around but I'm not complaining. Sang quite a few songs, listened to some from 5300. It was nice. Evelyn had quite a few nice songs i've never heard of before. Even a Malay one. Haha, but Hari Ini still rocks. Oh, and sorry if i sang really bad hor Evelyn. Then after a while, Zico wanted to talk to her so i stoned around and allowed my food to digest. Then talked to Eng, who was later joined by Evelyn. The SCIP dudes seemed to be busy with the video. No idea how that's gonna turn out but ever since my year, Orientation videos have been awesomely cool. Seriously, the videos are reason enough to turn up for orientation ok?
Then after that, Evelyn left to get the JAE Posting results. Perks of being in SC. mua ha ha ha. But in the end, she didn't get a hard copy of the list, so sad, but she had a long time talking. And i didn't see her after that. Smart move Evelyn. The $4000 of orientation shirts arrived and we helped Eng get it into the scroom which has the world's MOST horrible lock. Called Steffi to get the combi, but the dial is such a horrible one that my fingers were hurt. But I randomly turned the thing and after half an hour (not exaggerating), it fell open. Phew...
Counted all the t-shirts and hauled them into the council room. Then stayed around a while before leaving for dinner and home.
Read the newspaper like a good GP tutor while eating dinner and finally told Aunty Lily that i was moving out. Somehow, i think she knew i was going to ask. But it was cool. Went smoothly and i went back to finalise the packing. Was waiting for the cab peak hour to end at about 8 and dragged majority of my stuff down. Flagged a cab and the uncle was friendly. Cost me $3.20 though. I reached my new home.
No one was in. An eerie loneliness was in the air. Unpacked my stuff slowly. Didn't quite like the smell in the room but i will survive. Decided to take a walk back home to make sure im familiar with the surroundings. Had a nice slow walk in the night home alone. Took about 25 minutes?
Part Two (a) of my wish list came true. There was FX who sms-ed me and we started to chat. Then there was Winnie. Then Aunty Kaith. Then had mom too. There were so many people msging me. Haha. Sort of funny how my wish came through digitally. Was nice to be not "lonely" on my last night in my now-ex house. Here's the complete list of ppl that I msged or msged me for various reasons.
-FX
-Winnie Chew
-Aunty Kaith
-Mom
-Stephanie Sim
-Anantha
-Cheresa
-Zsa Zsa
Looks like the only GP rep here missing is...you would know urself la ya? But no biggie. Jz had a nice night. End of Monday
Tuesday
JAE Day. Not a nice day. Shall skip everything that happened. Wanna know, talk to me? Haha. Blogging isn't everything. Just had a very low atmosphere. Fast forward to the nice part of the day, lunch with 06
It was so nice of them to decide on Gelare at Siglap instead of Far East so I had time to go with them. Had a long time waiting, and a less, but still long time ordering. But it was worth it. Had a nice time eating, chatting, and most importantly like any 06 outing, taking photos. Took some really nice ones, maybe 06 u could gimme some links for the photos of the day? Sorry goes out to Diantha who has the scariest photo of me ever. And to those i got the camera flash in their eyes. But overall it was a nice time and i took forever to leave. Darn...
Was late (yet again) for badminton at Chai Chee, but the remaining 45 minutes was worth it. Sweated a lot but had a nice game. Shot of the day, cross court from my right to the left which was almost horizontal and only about 2-3cm above the net and landing just inside with no chance to Sean. You had to be there to see it. Hee...
Then headed back to school, the long way from the interchange and got a Big Gulp. Sat around with some SC ppl and then went to the Audi. Then went home, rushed a bath, went to old house to surrender the key, collect deposit and toothbrush *winks*, went to tuition, which the family provided me with dinner, and taught tuition. Then crashed home. I was so tired... Slept till today, 6.50 instead of 6.15.
Wednesday
Yup, I was late. No surprise so I rushed out of bed, up my hill and down the six-sided dragon. School started rather differently with a mini farewell to Mr Liu. Mrs Pang takes his place as he goes off to be a principal. Mr Cecil takes her place. Then had nothing to do in the staffroom. Met some of the OGLs like Xuewen, Cai Yu (? hehe), Julie, Yumei, Shermin, and many more students.
Met Teik Kheng today and helped him with his printing and stuff. Realise I have lots of things to get done as well. Oh well. Had lunch with 21, rather, OG13 (which is sadly nameless) and talked with them. Talked to a few, maybe just one or two 2nd intakers. A cedarian. VJ reject, appealing back in. Overall, a lack of enthusiasm, characteristic of O2
Then after lunch, met Ms Lau and talked to her a bit. Then met Xuewen and Cai Yu and later on other students like Song Han and Jacob, Nicole. Then met the other RTs and Heri and Sam. Yup. Had the tribal music group who were really good perform. Potentially illegal information, they cost $1500 an hour, so yeah, they were really good. Too bad im not a tribal music fan. Found out Yumei isn't either. Hehe!
Then almost missed staff conference which had no relation whatsoever to the RTs and then had department meetings. Never knew colleges knew both the paper 1 and paper 2 grades of the students. Also, TJ Lit did extremely well. 71% Distinctions, 40% above National Average. Econs S also had 80% Distinctions. So thats some good news. Then had the bad. If i get the soft copy of results, they'll be here ok? For GP only lar of course.
Then debriefed about the English Fair. Had many comments. And i did bring up the fact that the blogs lagged like CRAZY. But also that most people bonded through this English Fair and got introduced to a variety of GP issues within the first few weeks. Many confidential details were also discussed. Haha, my students must feel so curious now. Oh well, nothing much, but there will be changes for the next EL Fair.
After the meeting, Im here in the staffroom. Back to marking I think.Labels: Cai Yu, English Fair, Evelyn, Gelare, Jacob, JAE, Julie, Nicole, packing, pictures, Quality Hotel, Shermin, wish list, Xuewen, Yumei

# Awesome God
Okay, I just HAVE to blog about yesterday. The 2nd of March. Perhaps the biggest checkpoint in my life so far. A Levels came out today.
The day had already been anticipated by me a whole 3 weeks ago. When all the rumours saying it was after Os or whatever. I knew it had to come. And reliable sources indicated it was to be today. And it was so.
Day started off like any other day.
YEAH RIGHT!
The moment I entered the staffroom, the atmosphere was different. I knew by the time I finished my first lesson, the results would have arrived. My ingenious plan to stay out of the staffroom didn't materialize. But I wasn't nervous. I was so much better prepared this year than any other results day. Cuz I know my God will make a way for me. It's Gonna Be Alright! So I was rather calm.
Went to 421 for my first lesson of the day. I must have dreaming or something cuz 06 arrived before I did. Miracle of miracles eh? So I went ahead and taught them the AQ, which is pretty obvious to them by now, my favourite part of GP!! Did the whole "structuring an argument" lesson based on the AQ and spent the rest of the time (which always finishes too fast) on the AQ.
Dunno why but I decided to bring my water bottle to class and good thing I did too cuz its one of the first times i started to choke on nothing... So weird. But lessons still went on. 06 must have thought i was too scared or nervous, but let me assure you, I wasn't. Okay, maybe a little. Haha.
Then went back to the staffroom. Siok was there. She couldn't sit down. Haha. Paced around her desk. Talked to her and soon, it was time for 21.
CR 104 i think. And surprises of all surprises, there were some of them already there!!! Results should come out everyday man.. then can have more time for lessons. But the excitement was short lived when only half the class was there and the remainder came in late. Haha, remainder sounds like maths to me. Yes, i know its just me. And did the same lesson on the "structuring an argument" and then the AQ. Really hoping 21 and 06 caught the AQ well, cuz its actually easy to score in it. *wink to Shermin* And the choking thing happened again. Oh well... And i accidentaly stepped on the article i was using and put it at Zsa^2's folder. Forgot to take it back. Sorry to Zsa^2. Then it was Ms Kuah's lesson. And I was already late for 04's.
Reached 04 and its no surprise by now that they were already there. Oh well. Gave them the world's hardest compre to do and went through their essays. Missed Selina and Zach though. At the stroke of halftime, 5 more players were brought onto the GP field (jz read James' football blog) *Phildia, u can give it a read too* from the KI locker room. But there were two casualties in the conversion process and off they went. They took a token of appreciation for their participation in the form of papers.
It was soon lunch time... ok, didn't feel to quick for me though... And Kenneth still wanted to avoid the staffroom. Nice to bump into Mr Eugene and went down for lunch. Bought my food and placed it on the table. Then i went through Shi Min's (pronounces it the way i like it... bluack...) essay. Mary Jane maybe? Haha and then Y/Ni N/Ying's. Then Kathleen's, then Hui Shian's. By then, flies already turned my Malay Food Meal into a Gourmet of Bacteria but txs and txs to those who turned their arms into fans, i didn't get a stomach upset. Yay.
Finally ate my food and talked to the 21-ers around. Then that fateful sms came. I dun think the P or VPs of TJ will ever find my blog unless you people tell them, I shall let this private information be shared in bits and bytes.
Teacher A sms-ed me (yes, I am being a little paranoid here) saying congrats and that Teacher A was proud of me! I was really overjoyed, ecstatic, exhilirated. Then there was one more sms. I knew what it was and didn't want to open it. Julie had the privilege of being the first to know my exact results, even though she didn't know what it actually meant. Haha. I was really in a state of ecstatic-shock. Trembling, in joy. Shivering, in excitement. Tearing. On the inside. I knew my prayers were answered. I knew, they were more than answered. They were pressed down, shaken together and over-flowingly answered. I couldn't move! Couldn't stand. Couldn't talk. It was just an awesome moment. Thank you so much, my Awesome God!
Then on, a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders... I had this (most likely, please do tell me 21) spastic smile on my face for the whole day up till the actual thing in the hall. Went opposite to meet up with the others from 01. Yup, a whole bunch of botak guys and an Indian, an Indo and various other people. Then came back to TJ to use the toilet with Thammie. Met some 06 OGLs and various other people along the way. Then went to the guys toilet and I went to the staff one jz to make fun of Thammie, who was slightly slower than usual. Haha. Anyways, we wondered around school with ChenYi.
And to those of you who actually remembered what she was wearing, I like those kind of Tees. Haha, its jz my taste in how girls should dress up. Told her she looked nice in it. But don't think she realised what it really meant. Oh well. The colours were nice too. It jz looked great. *smile* And this is my blog so I shall be slightly more thick skin ya? Then again, don't think anyone would remember what she wore though but that's ok. My batch people were dressed in many different types of outfits. Ranging for casual to ARMY. From 6-inch-nano-pico-micro-minis to Oversized pants. From dull and black to striking reds. From polos to Polo's. From simple to triple layered with matching make-up. But me, I jz liked the simple top ChenYi had on.
Had a walk with Thammie and ChenYi cuz we were "clique-less" at that time. Walked around school, from canteen to audi to back again and aimless stoning. Saw all sorts of people and emotions. From the cool to the clueless. The calm to the calamity-stricken. From fooling around to frozen cold. From nervous to nevermind. It really was a big day.
Soon, the hall was open and Ms Thangam tried to get me to go in and i said i didn't want. Haha, but i did anyway.. so good boy.. haha.. then sat down like the super obedient 01 that we are. And Mr Tong started things off by reminding us he was the DM, in a funny way. The biggest error of the slideshow was them using the college crest without the letters J and C in it. Don't think any other TJ fanatics noticed it but oh well. Its just me.
Mrs Loke gave an "inspiring" speech before the results were announced. I was once again sitting beside Thammie. And to my students, Thammie is a MALE. Then soon the countdown began. Or rather, count-up. 3Ds... 4Ds... Dissapointed gasps as well as satisfied screams were echoing the hall. Was so shocked when Thammie didn't appear in the 4 or 5 D list either. We thought it was over. 6 D. Still nothing. Neither had I anything to be certain of.
7 DISTINCTIONS
01 - KENNETH STEPHEN WILSON
*SCREAAAAAMMMMMMMSSSSS!!!!!!!!! (louder than Phildia maybe, with back up from my class, fellow cohort and even my own students)*
First name on the 7D list. It was like a dream-came-to-life moment!! Was so so so so so so overjoyed!! Didn't bother to look at my results when I got it and just came down the stage although i was most likely still on cloud seven. Oh yeah. Jun Yi was the next name and the nest four of the 7 D list were also from 01. People say we are the best! Hee.. We rock.
And on the second page, Tham Zhen Hong Benjamin. along with Wenny and many others. 8 D, Mei Lien. along with 3 other scholars. Haha. Top 4, with 8 Ds, of Temasek Junior College were from Malaya (3) and India (1). What a sweet irony. But yes, the majority of the scholars did well which I am very happy over. All in 18 and the 01 (with minor exceptions) and econs students got their straight 4. Hall was a rather surreal place once the results were out. People were obviously happy, but mindful of the less fortunate. Lots of talking. Lots of faces. Just Lost. Talked to many poeple. Met JoJo but not Denise. Congrats to all and special mention must also go out to top sciencer Koh Chau Sean followed closely by Zhongshan and Bharat. Both from the same room lar.. IMBA M4-04. M4-06 also had our IMBAness when we were the only room with full attendance despite having an Indo, a Sabahan and a KL guy who needs to shop more than his results. Plus even the permanent residents and illegal immigrants of 4-06 were there too lar. M4-06 Rocks!!!
Left the hall and met Amanda and Aishah. Then met my students. So nice to see them. Had a mini group hug even. Haha. Pras and Jack Jack. Lol, talked with them quite a lot, walked around too. Too bad they didn't get to see their eye-candy. But then again, they had me! Haha, ok, Im not that perasan. Met many of my students later on, Yingen, Yumei, the 06s basically, Julie and 21s. Met Xue Wen adn Cai Yu and Selina too. Talked a lot. Was very high. Very happy. Elated.
Walked around rather aimlessly till tuition. Traded umbrellas with Riyanti and went off. Reached late but Benjamin was later. Haha. Talked with Mrs Quek abt my results before actually giving the tuition. I can't believe i've gone through 12 chapters of sec 2 maths in 4 days. Wow.. And then rushed off for Fish and Co. Glasshouse.
Waited forever and a day for 14 which never came so Phil and I cabbed down. MAJOR mistake. Firstly, the cab driver purposely drove slowly... Then, it was majorly jammed during peak hour. Then he tried to avoid telling us how long it will take to reach by talking blurly and murmuring. Hated the cab ride. It cost me slightly less than 15. So cheated. But oh well, it wasn't going to ruin my day!!
Reached Glasshouse just as 01 was leaving. Darn. Scholars were there though. I ordered Grilled Sambal Fish which was nice!! Yay! Txs for the recommendation Quen. Talked a lot with the scholars and talked even more. Stole Heri's fries and let him taste some good, non-oily, fish. Fish n Co. is always nice. Except the price. Oh well, it was a nice day. Had live music though I didn't like most of the singers cuz they ruined songs i actually liked. To those of you who heard me comment, those were really the very few secular songs i actually like. JY should know at least 1 of them from 14/02 dedication. But poeple go to fish and co for the people. Not the money. And there were 3 birthdays. Lame Fish n Co. cheer didn't help... But it was really nice catching up with all the scholars and others. So many places. Greats will certainly arise out of the few of us.
Then walked over to Cathay Cineplex for no reason. Wondered around and stood around while talking. Girls left first and then me, TK and Phil left while the rest went on wandering. Movie maybe? I dunno. Sean left to club first and took my phone along. Hope it comes back jz fine. It should lar... Unless he gets too drunk.
Waited 14 revolutions of the earth around the moon before 14 came. It was crowded but there were seats. I was so stoned out of tiredness I didn't notice Iman and Hafiz came on board. Oh well, they looked blissful together. Chatted until reached home. Talked with Phil and then surfed the net a bit.
Replied the many many people who msged me. Wanna specially thank 06 for their creative msg too. Sorry goes out to mommy. Didn't mean to let you worry. Really. Sorry.
Had a few replies come back in. Yumei, u need more sleep. Phildia too. Haha.
Summary of the day
General Paper A1
Malay Language A1
Mathematics A
Physics A
Chemistry A
Further Mathematics A
Mathematics S Merit
Physics S Distinction
Project Work 1
BIG THANKS TO JESUS, MY AWESOME GOD. WITHOUT YOU, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. SPECIAL TXS GOES TO YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL ANSWER TO MY F MATHS PRAYER. TRULY, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH YOU.
To my students, if you want to be inspired by me, don't be because of my grades, but be because there is a God out there who answered me when I cried out to Him for wisdom. When I was an average scholar who never touched A for FM, who's first GP grade was a C, whose Year 2 results were worse than year 1, He gave me what no tutor could. Hope. Love. Wisdom. Peace. Truly, without him, I would be in the pits of despair right now. But He is faithful, even when I wasn't. He was always by my side. He was my wisdom and I was dumb. My light when I couldn't see. My strength when I wanted to sleep. My conscience when I wanted to pon. My peace in times of fear. My security in times of doubt. My reason. Its You.Labels: A level results, Bharat, ChenYi, Fish and Co., God, Heri, Jac, Julie, Mei Lien, Phildia, Philip, Pras, Quen, Sam, Sean, Teik Kheng, Thammie, Yingen, Yumei, Zhongshan

# And Back Again
My keyboard has this back button which I now officially hate. I typed like 1000 words already into my post and it goes back to my blog page. So I shall jz summarize.
Took 170 to Kranji. MRT to BEDOK. 197 to home. 12 to Sun Haven for Pastor Mark's BBQ. There, that took about 1000 words. Just had so much to say. Ah, well, it's just a blog. Life's more important (= And friends too. So I shall now focus on friends.
TRAVEL TIME : 3 hours
Winnie Chew
Very kind of her to sms me multiple times to assure me of the way to Ps Mark's house. I still got lost and became the hopeless wanderer of Upper Changi East Road. But she recued me by coming quickly on her bike and showed me the way. At least 5300 kept me company. Sorry you had to be so hot n sweaty though by cycling uphill. And txs for the directions to Sun Haven. Txs for the talks as well cuz my cell wasn't around.
Bertrand
Nice talking as well, especially about Uni life in NUS, National University of Slopes. Great job in learning how to cycle too. I still need to learn the ramps. Not easy. Txs for getting the food too. Yay. And the big curry bun as well. Nice to have someone accompany me at least halfway back. 24 only, no 12, but that's good. Half in a certain numerical way.
ShuJing
Nice talk as well. Well, you certainly have a short (5) but hard list for guys to live up too. Think I shall start my proper list soon too. Mine was too long the last time when YA did search for intimacy. Fun to talk as well about other tandom stuff as well. Yay (=
Random other YA members
Nice to see you guys enjoying urselves at the BBQ, with the swimming and cooking (txs so much for cooking ya Sunny) and talking and card playing. Yup, Roland doesn't know how to play bridge, Bertrand doesn't know how to play bridge "properly". Blur King. Chellie won with him though. I didn't win... Oh well. The game was still fun and that matters the most. Had a nice time there. Yay.
And next day, it was back to school. My busiest day ever.
Wednesday
Started off normally, although an apparent lack of sleep was still haunting me. Did my unprepared double lesson with 21 and 06 on the A-G articles. Thank God the articles were good ones or I would have died in sorrow and regret. Why would an assignment NOT be in the Resource Package, one would ask. TJ must have an answer somewhere... Arrghhh. Lessons went on quite well. Transparencies were stolen from the tropics. Pens as well. Should return them sometime soon. So irresponsible of me
Got back a tonne a GP essays. Which I had totally no time to mark. I dunno why also today. So went for lunch with the RTs and had quite decent Malay food. Cuz the other stalls were closed... CNY CNY CNY. Oh well, Cheena society. Then headed back for staff conference. Which was a bore and the RTs hid in our little enclave. Got more oranges which i gave to JoJo. Highlight of the Staff Conf was the new personality test, the Strength Finder which TJ will use in place of our MANEly Shirley, the BIG 5. Cheaper, less questions and sounds more meaningful. Can't wait to know my top 5 strengths.
Beverly Leong
Just remembered her. JY, do you? Due to some "mistakes" we started chatting again. Nice to hear updates on Brunei since APYAC 2005 (my most life impacting conference thus far). Am so jealous of you lar... Hillsong London... WAAA... I wanna go there too... Yay, found another person who can MSN at work. Muzikarten sounds so cool. Yup, this wednesday sort of marked an old reunion.
Back to life, staff conference dragged so i had to cab down to Toa Payoh (yay i spelled it correctly!) Cost me $9 but helping is still worth it. Gave 2 hours on Electricy and Current plus a bit of E-Fields. One of my weaker topics. Gotta revise more before the next tuition. Qquickly MRT-ed down to Bedok once again and took 197 to Ngee Ann Primary.
Jayne Tong
You've been a great friend and sorry I missed church twice already when u sms-ed me. Txs for the concern. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even have discovered Emmanuel. So it was really my pleasure to cover for your tuition classes. Congrats and praise God you passed your test. Too bad the AH-BENG beside you didn't. Hee.. Txs for all the sms-es as well telling me what to do and warning me about the kids. Artif and Xerxis weren't that horrible, thank God or they would have been strangled and killed by me. Txs to Stephanie too for lending me the marker which saved my life. Tuition went smooth. Not sure if they understood though. Sorry ya if that's the case.
That capped a very busy Wednesday. Was so tired I jz bathed and slept. Thursday came sooner than it should have...
Thursday
Was very tired in the morning but still got the verse of the day out to FX n MY. Reached school and did a quick post. Then started my first real torture of RT-ing, marking GP essays... Which was scary cuz it felt like all that I have thought turned out to be almost... NOTHING. JY, even ur brilliant GP sample couldn't save them. Majority failed and almost all gave me a headache. Yup. Major braincell deaths recorded today. But it was much better after lunch txs to one enlightened script. Hint? Who's that freak?? Even Ms N said it was good. So happy. Really made my day. But still, it couldn't revive the brain cells. It was time for 04 in no time. Shall skip this lesson cuz of AP once again with the handing in of work.
Then went back into the staffroom and tried to mark. Just couldn't and Ms N gave me advice to go home and rest. I honestly looked shagged but tried anyway. Went to scroom and slacked a lot and they had an emo meeting so i left. Only to realise dinner was too near to go home now. So i stayed back and met yumei and yingen. Who ponned training to complete the GP essay. So touching. Really. Of course their ICs knew they were doing work lar. Had quite a nice talk and realised we were all brain dead. Sorry Shuming it had to be ur essay that i marked when i was brain dead.
Julian came along and i played random guitar. Karyn Anne Yzelman. Cool 3 word name ^^. Talked abt commonwealth essay. Abt JCs, Maths and random stuff. Hope I helped more than i talked rubbish. Then I had dinner with Julian and walked home. Tired. Slept. Did laundry. Slept. End of Thursday
Friday
Was a much better day. Had lots of lessons though and ran out of time for 21's presentation. Hope they actually were learning ways of writing an argument. And swimming... 21... beginners... late... arrghh... oh well. 04's lesson was better this time. 06 was... echoey. But good, i think. Then had lunch straight away. Then slacked with 21. Talked a lot of stuff. Like Johnathan's. Actually, now that i think abt it, dunno what we talked abt also. So much rubbish. Remember Phildia covering my view of her with a Nike shoebag. Julie's cute, green, zipper earrings. ZhiYuan and Mr Tong.
Ng Di Hui
It was nice meeting you from the start in 07/05. Yeah, nice to know a Malaysian when I first came here. Been great doing projects with you, txs for the tonnes of advice given when i couldn't see the full picture most of the time in sc. Nice talking to you, although it was short. And you got to know the chio bu. Haha. Talked and walked around a bit and soon it was time for Badminton @ Chai Chee CC
Went to staffroom, then scroom cuz i left my wallet there. Played badminton. Stamina better, shots better, only one of the stupid-turn-around-back-shot which i actually got the point! Bought a 100+. Enjoyed myself and walked back to TJ. Crashed Unick but no tbefore seeing 06 under LT1. Poor Jaren too. Swee Liang looked busy. Prasanthi, Jack jack, Karilynn all got themselves busy too *hint, i knew what u guys were up to*
Mr Eugene was in TJ U, I was in smelly, sweaty Nike Tennis top. But it was fun. Talking with dIA_chEESE (capitals right?) and Zhi Yuan. Then the dIA met her Dear Adriano. Got her two pic with him. She was obviously high. But it's always nice to see people high in a happy mood. Aate pizza. Got told to quickly eat the pizza and throw away the cup by an SCIP member. Funny, ironic and ... err.. nvm.
Took a photo, or two with the 21-ers who came. Then sat far back as they moved to the front. The first group was bad. Second item was normal. Third was... Adriano. Sorry Phildia, but his voice wasn't outstanding leh? Fourth, pointless? But enthu nonetheless. Talked with Mr Eugene and Mr Tong. Mr Eugene whacked a student real hard. Hehe. Ouch, but she asked for it. Then she tried whacking her friends. Haha. Zsa Zsa was late. But she didn't enjoy it too much at the start. Apparently the ending was better. Glad she had fun!
Mr Eugene allowed me to hop onto his cab on the way home. Yay. Bathed and went to Jean's. Played mahjong, but onyl 3 games. Watched the rest. Also, I had to learn the chinese numbers for 1 to 9, from a burmese girl. Hahaha. Weird and small world eh? Khant Khant or KK and HH were Jean's colleagues from Kelly's Services. Nice and cheerful bunch of ppl. Better than me at mahjong though cuz even the worst (HH) won at least a game. Me, none... But it was nice talking with them and seeing Jean's Prom pics as well.
Came home and did this long post. Yay, feel accomplished. Busy day tmr. Nitez blogLabels: 04, 06, 21, Adriano, badminton, Bertrand, CNY, Di Hui, GP Essays, Jayne, Johnathan, Julie, Mr Tong, Phildia, ShuJing, Unick, Winnie, Zhi Yuan
