Right now, im just feeling uber stressed up. Its only the 4th day of school, and so many many things have had happened over the start of school till now. Lessons, band, and everything, suddenly, everything just seems so overwhelming. And all of a sudden, I feel like, im a Dumb person in a school of elites. Today during bio lecture, Mr Ng went at a speed of which i could not even catch a thing. Respiration started today for bio lectures. and guess what, i caught nothing, and i guess i'll have to go read the things at tortoise pace. Then again, the same thing happened for econs. All I felt for lessons is that, The style of the j2 lecturing system works on auditory learning skills much more than visual or kinesthethic, which is what i learn best by. Change of learning methods? Yeah, i guess i'll have to learn how to learn auditorily too. But then again, I guess, i need to be a much hardworking boy this year. Also, Like i feel so disorganized and everything all of a sudden. like Im like, omg, im in a deep abyss, and endless deep abyss, and by the time i would've resurfaced, it would've been by the time i am about to die. I need to accelerate my speed of flying out of the abyss. Omg, you look at all the lecture notes and the way j2 is running, at j1 pae, i thought that things were stressful, but still manageable, at j1 it was like @#$%^&*()#$%^&*(, and right now it feels 100000x worse than @#$%^&*()@#$%^&*(. Okay, i need to get myself organized, and had better start work, organizing and stuff. It's been really long, since my head pounded so hard. And well, things are not looking at the bright side for the case of band now. All i can say is that, should we not work hard, the results are gonna be disastrous. Yes, i should work hard on my part as well. Time management, the way to play the game. Gosh 4th day of school, things please brighten up soon);. GAH.

anyhow, am gonna repost the part on CIP soon. yup. this weekend should i have the time. haiz. right, going off to read on aerobic respiration.

I'm feeling myself to be a hateable person currently, an irritating and stupid one in fact. gosh.

I remember having alot of fun that day. But, wont say out the details. But, haha, still can remember yenny going up to the middle of the restaurant and the waiters did a bday cheer. The picture was taken shortly thereafter. Remembered, all of us were there, cracking jokes, sharing nonsense, like, woa, it's been long since a session like that.):. Man, i miss all of you man. at least, well the times spent. Like all my dear friends who are in mj, WN, Don.. and ):. nvm, haha, we'll see each other soon i guess(:

anyhow back to blogging proper. So, as promised from the previous post, this is a continuation. man, i realized everything's extremely long, so here goes.

Event 1: Sharol and natasha's bday present

Okay, the day started, and i was supposed to bring them down to eighteen chefs for lunch. But when we got in, guess what. EVERYPLACE WAS FILLED UP.)))))))))):. The initial plan was to bring them to eighteen chefs to eat, and snow city! but aik. change of plans. lemme tell you all la. anyhow, so at east point, then they were like SAKAE SUSHI. and guess what, they didnt go easy on me this time =(((. Much more money spent on the other time, but aik, nvm la. haha. they enjoyed themselves though(:. or at least, the meal.

Ta-da. them eating. Thereafter, we took a train down all the way to jurong east..

When we finally reached snow city, THE QUEUE WAS DAMN UBER LONG. at first, i thought the queue was for, well, the restaurant, and it was for the ticket counter, cos apparently, there was some snowing thing la. haha. Then i was horrified, cos i felt that by the time we reach the counter, they will close shop alr. thereafter called xm jiejie, and asked whtehr could pop by their house nots. and, yay, haha, they were at home(:. so thereafter, headed to their house. haha. Took long ride on LRT, ran to bukit panjang plaza to buy some xmas gifts for them, and ran to their house. when we finally got there, haha, xm jie, chloe and jovan were there, together with edgar kor. But edgar kor's sleeping. so, haha, played with chloe and jov as usual. But when we got there, they were eating their dinner..

haha. CHLOE'S UBER CUTE, RIGHT RIGHT RIGHTT? omg, haha. like, can pinch her cheeks, and stuff. and omg, she didnt cry like as much when she was younger. she's 2 this year, but still. hahaa. so like me, s and n were having loads of fun carrying her round and round. and also playing with jovan of course.(:. Jo was having fun with thomas train. like trains. xm jie said that, "woa, like you when you're young" okay fine, if you all must know, im obsessed over thomas train, bananas in pyjamas, Big bear in the big blue house, and the colour of purple. and guess what, all these symptoms are appearing in Jov. =.=. hahahaha. but cool laa. haha. HE LOVES TRAINS. YAYYYYYY. haha. Jojo rocks. haha. but anyhow, yupyup. Thereafter, chloe was going mad after this balloon. so its like "poi poi poi" and like toddler's running here and there. But she's so uber cute.. ahhh. haha. Then, they had to shower thereafter, And aww, chloe was crying all the way in the shower. haha. jo's a big boy now, so, of course. haha. he didnt cry. Thereafter, there was no dinner for us. So, we were actually intending to call for pizza hut. but the line was busy, called for macs in the end. and omg, when it got here, jo went mad and hopped about like some mad monkey boy. haha. so yupyup, had meals, and they ate french fries whilst watching TV. i was initally planing to bring them to night safari after that, but since everyone was having so much fun, decided to stay on. haha.

hahahahha. JOJO is a handsome/cheeky boy. haha. aww man, haha, how i wish i could have like, them by my side everyday and make my troubles go away.. haha, thereafter, its time for bed. haha. tucked them into bed. and just nice, dad went to pick us up. haha. went home, and slept. haha. for your info, they live in chua chu kang, which is dunno how many hundred miles from tampines. so. haha. yupyup. and guess, this is the first unique bday present i gave S and N.(:

2nd event: Flute chalet

Okay. next event flute chalet. Before i start this, i would advise that it's better if you head over to the links and press "LYNETTE" or "MANNING" hahahhaahha, their descriptions will be much more entertaining, haha, but im penning my side down based on memories sake. haha. I'll try my best to remember as much as possible. yupyup. okay, on the first day, i was supposed to meet LH they all at downtown and everything at 2.30pm. was slightly late, and ended up meeting B, L and LH at mcafe. hahahaha. And they were having some secret surprise plan of which i wasnt supposed to spill(and im a good boy and i didnt k) haha, and yup, hahaha.

Thereafter, met MN and ZH at NTUC together with B, L and LH, shopped for more BBQ stuff before heading down to costa sands. when got there, was like, woa, damn small place, damn well, less clean than usual. haha. settled down a bit first. then i remember sth like zh going out to some mrt station and mn have to go home to take her stuff. leaving L, LH, and me in the chalet. haha. Stoned a bit, then yeah, went to buy the bbq pit with LH. then we started fire! WJ, WJ, came. and started fire. well, sort of. i forgot whether some went cycling or sth nots.

Thereafter, fire started! But then, haha, went in with LH, WJ to go and play flute. haha. so, guiltily, i only helped in the process of starting fire. =.=. haha. then I guess they cooked the food. haha. Played some trio pieces from LH after that with WJ and LH. Went mad laughing at some. Like there was this one about the wedding march. only started " DADADADA." and everyone laughed. woa, enjoyed the playing/sound. Anyhow, here's a shot from Mn toshikasa-.

and without time knowing, we were being asked to go down for the food. haha. i think LH helped out cooking thereafter too. yikes. haha. and it looked like as though its only 4pm in the chalet when its alr 8pm. went down for food thereafter. haha. Anyhow, yup, talked here there abit.

^Me, wj, hq

Then, after a long while of eating/chatting. OH YA. AND PSP-ING. i played some shooting counterstrike game. haha. and yeah, it was cool. haha. still, im best at sniper. Im a lousy boy. I cant run around and shoot. only can stay one spot, aim carefully and BABOM. According to lynette, which was quite true la. she asked me how to game was, and i said with a straight face, woa, damn exhilarating. haha. damn comical. hahaha. but then, after that, LH, B and L's jian plan was put into action. was some lucky draw thing.a nd guess what. I struck the top prize. -.-. haha. damn funny. hahaha. But then, didnt expect la. haha.

^ all the prize winners.

^MN and me. haha.

Left after the first night. haha. Band the next day. hahaha. then went out with kj and mitch thereafter and only reached the chalet at night. haha. Reached back, feeling awkwardly tired, saw Hil and J((:. haha. then after that, they were settling on the chalet bill. Remember got a bit serious la, but then after that. haha. it was okay. Psp-ed a bit during the night, went outdoors to stone with LH and WJ, saw them cycling, went back to observe the carmen score which i just got from that day, and psp-ed somemore, in the morning went to the beach and stoned, walked around, whilst everyone was asleep. haha. clear-ed up a bit. haha. then, yup, haha, thereafter, breakfast at DTE. Gossipped a bit. haha, then went home and slept like a pig. haha.

well, yay, summary skills are improving. haha(:. But then, if you guys want more details, haha, GO HOP BY "lynette" or "manning's" Blog. haha. I guess, it's more interesting. haha. had a good time laughing also(:.

3rd event: FIESTA! (ctd')

Already blogged about fiesta on previous post, so hop by the previous one to fiesta if youall wanna read. haha. but yay! thanks toshikasa. haha. "supporting jermain day". hahaha. damn cool. haha.

Event 4: CIP(Class CIP)

Okay, before i start many thanks to lala and van for their pictures. haha. There're other pictures lying around but i still cant access it yet. hahaha. But anyhow, this post is gonna be really wordy, so unless you're really having nothing to do, dont bother reading but instead, just enjoy the pics. haha.

Okay, after serveral travel down to chua chu kang/pending, to meet mr vjoo for the preparation for the camp, the camp finally started. This 2 day camp. Class CIP was directly the day after fiesta concert. So you can imagine me reaching home late, and having to wake up at like 6++ to meet them at bedok. haha.

But, anyhow, everyone dragged their unconcious bodies all the way to bedok/ some at pasir ris, and headed down to chua chu kang. On the way to the place, everyone was still sleepy, but we talked a bit, all the way until we reached chua chu kang. haha. took the LRT,(which is uber fun) haha, and reminds me was when i was a kid, going gaga over the sky train at the airport. haha.

When we finally reached, the kids were still not here yet. haha. So, settled some administrative stuff. We were given a "heaven room", haha, a hall with 2 rooms which can accomodate some of the activities. haha. and also, a huge empty netball court, and also, the void deck-s to carry out our activities. So, when the kids finally came, took some time to settle them down. haha. Together with jingjing, sihui and shawn, haha, we formed one groups. Boy, there were many many malay boys who came, and also, there were alot of chinese girls. haha. But I got a pure boys group, and majority of them who were malay. hahaha. There was faizal, naz, chee yan, sadesh,here and there. haha. can't really remember that exact. haha.

but, when they came, we had mass games at first. haha. Everybody's favourite game, BLOW WIND BLOW. hahaha. Everyone was having fun in small groups first, games like 7up, blow wind blow, were being played. haha. so, warm up was pretty fine. Then there were the EVERYBODY COMBINE games, haha, blow wind blow, and tree and squirrel. haha. At first for tree and squirrel, lili was shouting, then dont know how come, thereafter, i shouted giving all the commands. hahaha. and guess what i did for the last command.

"Everybodyy, quiet quiet! Got something very very very important to say"

-awkward silence"

"Earthquake."

HAHAHAHAH. omg, like anti climax, but it was fun.

Following that, it was tiki making. haha. well, for the courtesy of those who are reading and dont know what a tiki is, a tiki is sort of like a group flag, like, having to make them outta cardboard, paper, etc etc. AND BOY, DO WE HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO GET THEM INVOLVED. hahaha. like, i remember having to go to this boy, the heck care buay care one, using a lot of conviction, and like everything to try to get him to draw something on the flag. Then there was this, boy named sadesh, haha, he really liked avatar! haha. woa, but also, was damn amazed. haha. they came up with the group name, bulletproof champs. haha. and this boy named faizal. ahha. a really bright boy, and i guess most of the time, the group followed under him. haha. and woa, after that activity, you shouldve seen, all the group leaders went into "heaven room" and started grumbling.

Thereafter, it was lunch! hahahaha. Got their food, got them to settle down on the corridor outside the hall, and like, shawn and I did the hungry cheer. with help around i also i think. haha. they eat. I guess for the first day, few kind souls like KY, and J, stayed behind to eat with the kids, the rest of us couldnt wait to enter heaven room to go and eat. boy was it quiet. ahha.

Thereafter, it was station games. haha. Sisi, me, shawn brought them around. the stations. haha. It was really fun la. First, it was this dark obstacle course. which wasnt supposed to be scary, but we impromptu decide to make it scary also. haha. and for my group, they really really had a good time in the hall. haha. Thanks to those who set up the course man. hahaha. But then, was making all the funny noises, like some witch laugh, and everything to scare them. haha. When they come out ahh. WOAAA. they're like AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN, like some spoilt tellytubby doll. hahahah.

then after that, played the rest of the station games, like drawing acting and guessing. hahaha. They had a lottttt of fun doing that one. and also guessing the picture, and lastly, Having to go to the netball court to pick up objects with stuff lying around, like ropes, bamboo, and put it into a bucket. and guess what, all of us are damn amazed with those kids. cos, the organizers acnt even do it =.=. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. and during the games, cos i kept on shouting, making them to do cheers, that was what earned me the nick, "shouty." hahahaha.haha, but other ppl in class also got nicks, like J got the nick "giant",and SH got the nick name "ali baba(?!)" hahahah. yupyup.

Thereafter, it was mass dance. haha. With courtesy of lili and lala, haha, they taught the mass dance. haha. I guess everyone had fun, remembered vividly me and SJ turning round and round like mad ppl when the free style part came. hahaha.

Then it was time to go back. hahahaha. Boy, after that day everyone was like "poof" like dead beat la. haha. went back to simei to eat eighteen chefs after that, everyone tired on the train, hahahaha. then hanged around with sisi, shawn and SH at starbucks thereafter, saw miss wong. haha.

Then day 2, the 3rd day of having to be high from fiesta concert. haha. (gosh, never make me go through that again, but it was a good endurace test la). ahhaha. Okay, 2nd day, woa, it was so much more enjoyable than the first. Mainly cos the kids know us better, easier to cooperate, and everyone's happy in their groups. Started the day off with station games part ii. hahaha. this one was fine. haha. There was this one where they had to use do-re-mi to guide blindfolded people to get the objects in the room. They had to guess the people behind the rectangles from the powerpoint slides. Even words of which i didnt know how to say/describe, they did manage to guess it out! There was the draw the zui xiang one, etc etc. hahaha. Again, station games part 2 laa. hahaha. So, it was rather enjoyable. haha. Then, thereafter, they had to make a floatable ship/device like thingy which can support a bar of soap.

This is the damn amazing part. I NEVER KNEW KIDS COULD BE SO SMART. haha. faizal in my group, was like, woa. damn impressive. He's in robotics, yeah only p6, but then, he and his robotics team in his pri school won some competition to building a hovercraft model. hahaha. so, yeah, my group was the best in this. hahaha. Quickly, swiftly and smartlly, they built a really nice ship.. and guess what, haha, they've got to earn the materials by themselves. haha. Like doing butt dances, saying nice things to their grou leaders, having to go do something crazy. hahaha. But yeah. heres the ship that my group built:

COOL RIGHT. hahahaha. Yupyup, spent a bit of time on this i think, but then, am damn proud. Haha. the girls from other group saw this design and wanted to copy =.=. Happened in the process of tiki making also. haha. But then, haha, of course, calmed them down. haha. thereafter, they had to play this game, where they had to get across this maze like thingy as a group. haha. yeah a bit more games. then had a bit more of mass dance. haha. Prize presentation was after that. haha, havent got the pictures yet. but then, haha, yupyup, every group have to win something. haha. I mean, who likes to lose right. haha. Thereafter, when it was finally finished, everyone was like YAYYYY.

^the class with mr vijoo

^Our name tags

Anyhow, im still kindda pissed at the pink rabbit issue. forget it la. insensitive, way insensitive. But then, haha, have to let it go, The class headed down to IMM thereafter for dinner. hahaha. had mos burger, walked around daiso, and headed straight home. and finally..

Event 5: Letter writing.

But it took me one whole day and my hand almost dropped. haha. to those who received, Im sorry if the handwriting is screwed)):. hha, but i think i did write okay la. haha. At first, when i rechecked everyone's, i saw zn's one was damn horribly written, so i took the courtesy to rewrite the whole letter. hahaha. so should be fine i guess. haha. To those who are close to me but didnt receive, haha, dont worry, the surprise will be on CNY/valentine's day. haha. but to those who receive, i hope that the letters will be read and kept i guess. haha. cos, yeah, it took me some effort to write it out. so, yupyup. haha. can still feel the ache. haha. so yupyup-

meanwhile, 5th day of the year. and haha, guess what, i forgot to mention that i started this year off with a BIG BANG by passing my A-M for lifesaving. omg, this test, was the worst of worst. From 8am in the morning of the pool till 5+ in the evening.
