Hillary Challenge was quite amazing. It was like firing a glock, only to realize that it shoots like a magnum, and have the bullet ricochet back at you and tear your face off because you didn't realize it would be that powerful.
It was very tiring, but was rather fun. To put it into perspective, I would rather go for Hillary Challenge than play through bloody palace on DMC 4. Let me break it down for you.
I reach school at 6.45, and leave school about 15 mins later. Turns out we gotta register by 7.45, and it's at CHANGI. We reach changi about 7.40, give or take 5 mins cos my memory isn't that good. We register, and they give us 1 tray of bananas(about 18?), 20 packets of milo, 9 plastic bags of bread and cake, and a life vest each(they call it a Personal Flotation Device, which I think is quite retarded). We had 9 people there was just enough food. We sit down and psyche ourselves, then go for the briefing. They tell us about the "exciting" events they have in store for us, we cheer and groan, and now we are ready to throw ourselves in the sea.
We begin by gathering about 200-300m away from the first event. Everyone runs in to the ramp leading into the sea. Our life vests are on and we are all rushing for the ramp. 4 of us, me, Bingle, Matthew and Yaoqing go in first. We were originally supposed to swim 150m in the sea, but they reduced it to 50m. 50m in the sea is nothing like 50m in the swimming pool. We swim for quite a while before making it to shore. All the time I'm swimming, it feels like I'm not moving. Eventually we get there, and I realize if i swam 150m I'd be half dead. As I move out of the sea, my shoes are filled with sand. I knew this would happen, which is why I swapped shoes with our reserve before going in. We wait for our other 4 team members, Qiaowei, Shereen, Fangqi and Jesslyn. Qiaowei, Jesslyn and Fangqi appear eventually, but turns out Shereen was comforting and pulling this girl who couldn't swim along.
We rush off to our next event, which for 3 of us is cycling and for the rest is CASEVAC. I happen to be in cycling with Qiaowei and Shereen, so we grab a bike and go. By this time we are in the last 10 teams I think. Qiaowei has trouble mounting the bike because of her height(or lack thereof) and we get slowed whenever she has to dismount, like when crossing the road. I should probably point out that it wasn't our choice to dismount. The people in charge said so. We cycle about 5km or 4....that's the first half of the trip. Then we cycle back to the starting point, which is also the finishing point. On the return trip Shereen hits some guy because he swerved to the right, I swerved off-track to avoid crashing into him like Shereen did right after I went off, because she didn't see I think. We check everyone is okay, then we continue. After we catch up with Qiaowei, she falls down while staring at my back(or so she says) and gets a few scratches(quite deep, she says). Wash the wounds, then we continue. When we reach the place, we are the 2nd last team. Yaoqing and Shereen rush off to outdoor cooking and the rest of us rush off to tent pitching. After a few mins, Shereen comes over and tells me to go help Yaoqing. Apparently he has trouble starting the fire.
I get there, and we decide to light the solid fuel first, then build the fire around it. Soon we get a strong fire going and we cook an egg. Because that's all they gave us. We eat the unseasoned egg(which tasted reasonably good) and then we go for kayaking.
It's a two man kayak, and we set out in 2 teams. first team, Me and Bingle, Matthew and Yaoqing because me and yaoqing have never learned to kayak. We do reasonably well, I think, although Bingle says I suck at kayaking. Then we reach shore and the second team sets out, the girls. They do quite well, and we go from 2nd last to quite near the front, because some teams don't know how to kayak, and Queenstown, who were originally the top few, dropped to the last few. I LoLed.
We move on to the second last station, the sand in my shoes scraping my feet off. The second last station is Orienteering, and it was very confusing. They just gave us a set of instructions and a compass, and we set off. With the instructions were a few questions we were supposed to answer when we reach certain points, and we fill them in accordingly. We do this, and return to the start point. The guy in charge reviews our answers and tell us the last question is wrong. Says there's some colour on a tree, and asks us what the colour is. We guess orange and we get it correct miraculously. We rush off to last station, Rock Climbing/Abseiling.
Matthew is our climber, with Bingle and/or Fangqi as belayer(memories hazy), yaoqing as supporter, and me as anchor. Qiaowei goes for abseiling with Shereen and Jesslyn. She was done even before Matthew started climbing, so eventually we are done with the station, not much going on, and we rush to finish point.
This is the most excruciating point in the race. We race against Gan Eng Seng and are behind them by 3 secs. There would be a total of 12 teams that proceed to the finals. We decide that if Gan Eng Seng is 12, it would suck more than a new vacuum cleaner. As we wait for the results, Zhaiyang(Mr. Reserve) calls Mr. Tan(Tan Chee Yeng) and asks him to buy KFC(lol). He turns up with fried and barbecued chicken wings(apparently no KFC present in the entire district).
Zhaiyang/Bingle: McDonald's leh?
Mr. Tan: You go and find one for me, I go buy for you now.
Anyway, the announcing of the results was slow.
Eventually we came to this: "And the last team to enter the finals......GAN ENG SENG!"
Reaction from Gan Eng Seng: WOO! *screams* *cheers*
Reaction from our team: WALAU EH! SO CLOSE! WHAT THE HELL!
So as it turns out, we didn't get in the finals(BUT SO CLOSE!) but it was very fun. I don't think anyone from our team was to blame for that 3 secs, but thinking about it, we should have probably sprinted for 3 more seconds in the beginning. Ah well, it's over, and I'm both happy and sad(reminds me of a story by Supraman. Tell you later). I didn't feel the ache until about 24 hours after the thing ended(give or take 1 hour), and I slept at 9pm that night(reached home at 7.50).
Anyway, 2 years ago, I was at Camporee in Kuala Lumpur and the Guy in charge was this old indian guy called Supramania something something. He got kind of annoying, and we just called him Supraman. He told us this story about being both happy and sad at the same time. Before that, he looked around, pointed at this guy and said, "What's your name?" "Tan Bao Ren". "Ok you'll be our main character."
"Once upon a time, Tan Bao Rrren was riding a camel in the middle of the desert. Suddenly he heard a voice, "Tan Bao Rrren, pick up the pebbles." He decided to ignore the voice, and he rode on. After awhile, he heard a voice, "Tan Bao Rrren, pick up the pebbles." He thought about it for awhile, then rode on. After awhile, he heard the voice again, "Tan Bao Rrren, pick up the pebbles." So Tan Bao Rrren got off his camel, picked up 3 or 4 pebbles, stuffed them in his pocket, and forgot about them. When he got home, Tan Bao Rrren took out the things in his pocket and put them on his table. He then went to sleep. When he woke up, he saw something bright and shiny on the table. It was the pebbles he picked up. They were actually diamonds covered by the dust, and when he saw this, Tan Bao Rrren was both happy and sad. Happy because he had a few diamonds. Sad because he only picked up 4. So, he was both happy and sad at the same time."
And that's all, folks!

Sunday, May 24, 2009
I don't understand how some people can update daily/every few days. There's practically nothing interesting to talk about. Really. Why are you readers interested in reading about the daily life of someone anyway? Let's try.
I woke up this morning, then went back to sleep. HAHAX. I then woke up again at 12pm. OMFG SO FUN RIGHT. I went to the toilet. LOL. I brushed my teeth. WOW. I went to make my bed. AMAZING RIGHT. I ate my breakfast/lunch. HAHAX. I went to bathe. ROFL. I watched Stephen King's It. LMFAO. I feel bored. HAHAX. I have done nothing much today. LOL. But I'm gonna blog about the completely normal and uninteresting things that happened today because apparently people read that stuff. LOL WTFBBQ OMFG ROFLCOPTER LOLLERSKATES.
That caused irreparable damage to my brain. Ouch.
Anyway, about Stephen King's It. Movie based on his book It. The book was awesome, but the movie doesn't do it justice. It lasts about 3 1/2 hours, and the first part was quite good. After that, it gets boring. Very boring. And even that 3 1/2 hours couldn't go into the detail that book had. So it was a very great disappointment if you have read the book first. The thing about Stephen King is that his books are so awesome any guy trying to reproduce them in a movie fails so horribly it's like Ben influenced him. "It" was a slightly better movie, when you consider the other movies based on Stephen King books, but I could probably name a few better movies I would rather watch than It, especially considering I could have watched TWO movies during the time it took to watch It. That said, I would still have watched it even if I knew it was going to be this bad because
a) Tim Curtis playing Pennywise was just hilarious.
b) Pennywise is the number 1 clown in terms of amusement, intelligence, scare factor, and his great urge to kill children, something I can associate with.
c) It was based on a Stephen King book.
And now for something completely different.
The Girl to Guy Lexicon.
Many times, guys have felt puzzled at why girls have said one thing and behaved in another. Here I provide my own lexicon which is also greatly in part inspired by many joke websites, but I'm not gonna openly admit it(oops) because that's how jokes work, you steal them from someone but don't tell anyone so people think you're the funny one.
I'm alright ---- OMFG I'M GONNA DIE COME OVER HERE AND DO SOMETHING YOU SONOVABITCH NO GOOD UNGENTLEMANLY FREAK.
It's okay, I'll get it ---- OMFG I'M GONNA DIE COME OVER HERE AND DO SOMETHING YOU SONOVABITCH NO GOOD UNGENTLEMANLY FREAK.

I love you ---- Now you are officially bound to my will and you must buy me everything I want, do whatever I want and if you don't I will scream and nag your head off.
Let's have a baby ---- Let's get something that makes it so that you can't ever leave me without having to pay out the ass.
I like you, but you're not my type ---- I hate you. Fuck off and die.
Can you help me with..... ---- I want to use you for slave labour, and what you're getting for doing it is less than what slaves get.
No ---- Yes

Announcement -- EDITED: READ THE BOTTOM OF THE POST.
I bet you guys are real happy, thinking I'm about to update with a long post or something...
But actually this is just to inform you that instead of the badger song, you now have the yellow submarine to plague you.
But the code screws up the formatting in firefox.
So use IE
okay?
okay.

EDIT: Ok I removed that stupid nuffnang thing. It didn't do much anyway. If for some weird reason you want to read my archives, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

Me in the D&D world
I've always wanted to know how I'd be in the D&D world. So I took a few tests, and this is what I found out.....
My character stats:
STR: 10
DEX: 17
CON: 16
INT: 17
WIS: 16
CHA: 11
You can test for your stats here: http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/terragf/back/xstattest.html
Interesting. With a strength of 10 and a charisma of 11, those are my only low scores. This means I can be a rogue, ranger, monk, cleric, paladin, wizard, sorcerer, druid, or bard. High constitution suggests that I can tank too. woots. A tanking wizard. how cool is that.
Now to find out what character class is most suitable for me.
Interestingly, I'm a 100% on Ranger, Druid and Bard. My lowest scores are 60% on other stuff. Basically this means I can take almost any class and excel at it. Theoratically. The test suggests that i take bard, but if we look at my charisma, which is a pathetic 11, I'm gonna be a so-so bard. Although my bardic spells will be quite powerful. Now bardic spells can boost charisma, so that shouldn't be a problem. Alright I'm a bard. Now for the Race.
Alright, I'm a Human Bard with unusually high Dex, Con, Int, and Wis. That's cool
Now on to the most important thing. Alignment.
Your Character’s Alignment
Based on your answers to the quiz, your character’s most likely alignment is Neutral Good.
Neutral Good
A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order.
--excerpted from the Player’s Handbook, Chapter 6
You can test for your Alignment at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20001222b
Alright, Neutral good. So I'm a Neutral Good Human Bard with unusually high stats.
Now if instead I took a single test to decide everything, what would it be?
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
Primary Class:
Barbarians live outside the 'civilized' They have tribal goverments, and are often nomads. What they may lack in refinement is balanced by there strength of individual character and ability to survive.
Secondary Class:

Thursday, March 19, 2009
There is a question that inevitably gnaws at our inner selves every so often. It is present in the most despicable of gutter scum, and in the most honorable of high lords. This question, is short and to the point, yet it brings about a chill in many's hearts as they realize the emptiness of many things. This question is "So what?"
No, I'm not referring to the rebellious ah beng form of the question(as in, you big, so what?), but rather to the more scholarly form of the question. Say it slowly, and deeply. So. What? For many people, this is the question that drives them to acheive more "great things". For some people, it strikes them down and keeps them at that level. The realization that many things are empty, pointless and ultimately worthless can bring about great change in a person. To those who are rich, I say this, "So what?" You're rich, you have a good life. A good future. So what? You will become ashes in the ground, just like everyone else. To those who have acheived something great, so what? In the end, you are still part of the earth.
I do not believe in any meaning in life. Ultimately we are all dirt. So what, therefore is a very good question. Some people never ask themselves this question, preferring to avoid it their whole life. Yet, when they are alone, when darkness takes them, they are forced to confront it. Unless of course, the lazy bastard falls asleep.
So I ask you all, my readers, "So what?" If you have acheived what you want in life, good for you. If you are on the right path to acheiving it, good for you. I'll stick to nihilism thank you. So what?
P.S. I contradict myself with my actions. I love irony.
No, I'm not referring to the rebellious ah beng form of the question(as in, you big, so what?), but rather to the more scholarly form of the question. Say it slowly, and deeply. So. What? For many people, this is the question that drives them to acheive more "great things". For some people, it strikes them down and keeps them at that level. The realization that many things are empty, pointless and ultimately worthless can bring about great change in a person. To those who are rich, I say this, "So what?" You're rich, you have a good life. A good future. So what? You will become ashes in the ground, just like everyone else. To those who have acheived something great, so what? In the end, you are still part of the earth.
I do not believe in any meaning in life. Ultimately we are all dirt. So what, therefore is a very good question. Some people never ask themselves this question, preferring to avoid it their whole life. Yet, when they are alone, when darkness takes them, they are forced to confront it. Unless of course, the lazy bastard falls asleep.
So I ask you all, my readers, "So what?" If you have acheived what you want in life, good for you. If you are on the right path to acheiving it, good for you. I'll stick to nihilism thank you. So what?
P.S. I contradict myself with my actions. I love irony.

Okay I'm finally back with an update.
Yesterday's V.Day jam was great(PKSG people), special thanks to:
Richie for organizing
Dblucy, Zhiyang, CP, Zahid, and Nazir for being there to guide us. Especially Nazir. First time most of the newcomers are seeing you(him, I don't think he'll ever read this) and many of them were intimidated, but still.
All the others for attending,
I only know a few of you...
Jon
Ram
Austin, for misreading my forum nick as DaSalivaMonkay(spot the error)
Max
That tall dude with Jon
Light Blue Shirt guy, was your name Sheng Wei or something?
and those other guys, whose names I don't know/remember.
Yesterday's jam was my longest training session, and I felt that I exerted myself more than all the previous jams, but surprisingly I have the least severe muscle ache of all the days after jams...
Up to this point in my life, I would like to acknowledge people who have made a significant contribution to my life. Be prepared for a long post because this is gonna be 15 years of acquaintances
Let's begin
Naturally, my life began with my birth, so the first people I have to acknowledge are
Mum and Dad.
Immediately after them are my siblings and immediate family, i.e. uncles and aunts, grandmas and grandpas, cousins etc. can't be bothered to list. Too many
Now we'll move on to my first conscious memory. Nursery school.
I don't remember my teacher's name, but I remember that she was quite fierce, and...well generally unpleasant to a 4 year old kid, but she instilled in me a regard for law and order.
Next. Kindergarten.
Again, I don't remember most of my teachers, but of those I remember are:
Ms Storm(Believe it or not, this IS her name)
Ms Zhen(chinese teacher. I used to like chinese)
Yea. That's all.
Friends in kindergarten.....
Alison, Erfi and Eunice(Ng I think...don't really remember the name...that chao ah lian around the neighbourhood nowadays? that's her) are the only people I remember.
I remember this conversation I had with Alison
A:So what primary school you going?
Me:Xingnan
A:Oh. I going west grove.
Me:Ok.
That's the only part of kindergarten I remember. That and the fact that I once got scolded for putting a shoe print on the wall(I cried after that).
Moving on the primary school
Primary 1:
Mrs Teo, Mr Teng, Mr Tan
for teaching me English, Maths and Chinese respectively.
Mrs Teo was also my form teacher, and I remember that she was a very patient and kind, but strict teacher. Any 1E'01 people wanna correct me?
Mr Teng was one of the funniest teachers I've ever had, or it could be due to the fact that I was primary 1. I remember he had a habit of erasing chalk from the blackboard at high speeds so the clouds of chalk dust flew everywhere. We did try to imitate him. I claim championship for being the first to acheive said speeds.
Mr Tan was one of my favourite chinese teachers. He was kind and patient, and like I said, I used to like chinese. It was way easier back then...
I don't remember most of my primary 1 friends...except...
Jareb Tan
Ng Wei Kun
Stella (Ong? sorry...)
Cheng Jun(his perfect rectangle shaped head still cracks me up)
and....shit.
Jareb, Wei Kun and I were like the 3 musketeers in primary 1 and 2. In fact, our primary 2 form teacher(who I will mention later) once gave the 3 of us the 3 Musketeers chocolate bar as a present(end of year I think). I remember all the time we spent bullshitting each other in Primary 2, epecially during chinese lesson, where we would havoc around the class while everyone was doing homework and the teacher kept telling us to sit down(we ignored him)
Primary 2:
Ms Lai, Mdm Kum Lai Meng, Mr Lu
Ms Lai and Mdm Kum were my form teachers in primary 2, each reigning for one semester. I don't remember much about them....
Primary 2 was very cool for me.
Somewhere in the first half of the year, I wrote "fuck u" with condensed water droplets on the staff room door, neglecting to erase it when the teacher walked out, eventually leading to me getting scolded by 5 teachers, one by one. It was the first time I met
Mr Siew, a.k.a. Lollipop Head, Char Siew Bao.
He was a jackass to me in primary 2, namely for one act of complete disregard I will always remember. For some reason, I don't know why, I was eventually sent to him for scolding regarding the "fuck u" thing...At the time he was teaching social studies to his class. I stood there getting scolded by his metrosexual personality when one of his students came up to ask him a question. He used my head as a pedestal to prop the guy's book while reading it, and I just stood there. Many of you will know that the me today would have likely jumped up and beaten his ass into the ground, but primary school me was, sad to say, a pussy. And one might say that it's against school rules for a teacher to do something like that, but it was 2002, when they WERE allowed to do things like that.
Mr Lu was my chinese teacher in primary 2. During his lessons, because he didn't really care, me, jareb and wei kun would havoc around the class, playing around and stuff. We would bullshit each other with ridiculous lies about things that weren't possible at the time(the content of which are too ridiculous to reveal). I WILL tell you that it had things to do with huge wealth, robots and horses. Mr Lu put an injury in my chest by trying to drag me back to my seat. He incidentally pulled me straight into a chair. My parents went to school to complain about him and he begged them to forget about it. I think he's retired now.
Primary 3 to 6:
Primary 3 was the turning point in my life. Most of the friends I met in primary 3 stayed with me until primary 6, and some even beyond. Many of the teachers were the same, so I'll just go straight to p6 with this one.
Primary 3 was where I met my form teacher of 4 years.
Ms Yeo was a very strict but pleasant woman who changed my personality. Drastically. She was also my maths teacher. For 4 years I was stuck with her, and I changed from pussy to angry guy to docile guy in those 4 years. But first I want to mention the rest of my primary 3 teachers.
Mrs Tan,周老师(I forgot her english name), Mr Bryan Chang(I think it's Chang. Is it?)
Here's how I turned from pussy to angry guy.
During an interesting english lesson, There was this passage about a guy named Uncle Teck. Being typical primary 3 kids, most of my friends kept mentioning the link between my name and his during the lesson. At one point I stood up, slam table and shouted, "I'm not an uncle!" Yes, I did say that. Yes, it's stupid. I WAS PRIMARY 3.
So then Mrs Tan said, "You see ah, sometimes you people keep making jokes and you don't care about your friends feelings at all.." and I sort of stayed angry for a few years.
周老师 was my chinese teacher, and was also previously my brother's chinese teacher. She was the one who made me like chinese again after me hating it in p2. She was extremely nice and patient, and I actually made an effort to do homework then.
There's nothing much I can say about her because although she was a very nice teacher, the contribution she made to my life was . that little.
Same thing for Mr Chang. Not much of a contribution.
People in P3:
hmmmm...that's a tough one...let's see...
Samuel Low
Rayner Soh
Khong Jin Sun
Stephanie Cai
Eugene Aw
Cheah Jin Fei
Justin
Joel
Benjamin Tan
Juventino Lim Binn Binn (We just knew him as Binn Binn. I only found out about the Juventino thing at PSLE, when we read his name off his table)
Jacky Chua(shit...is it chua? He's that guy in 2A'08..Chua right?)
So here's the breakdown. Samuel and Rayner were two of my best friends in p3, 4, 5, 6 and sec 1.
Khong Jin Sun....hahahaha....I'll always remember that jackass...We were enemies for 4 years, all because...he refused to settle for truce. He was also the main source of my anger. We fought(physically, verbally, mentally), we hated, we acted like idiots. To put it simply, imagine our class as a kingdom. We were the two war-waging monarchs. Mostly everyone was neutral. Hence the idiocy of said warfare. Frankly, I still don't know why he hated me so much. Jin Sun, if you're reading this, WHY THE HELL MAN?! I don't even hate him anymore. Not worth my hate.
Stephanie Cai was also one of my best friends in P3...hah.....3E'03 people.....You will remember what it was like...shh....At the end of the year she transferred to Nan Hua Primary, and we didn't really talk much or anything again... until recently lah. but still not much communication. Steph if you're reading this, thank you for the fun and humour in p3, and you-know-what.....
Eugene Aw, Cheah Jin Fei were just those guys I played around with alot. Jin Fei was like the only other guy in my class who played basketball so....yea.. Eugene was cool with soccer so we played alot together also.
Justin, Joel, Benjamin, Binn Binn and Jacky were my friends from badminton team.
lol...I remember, primary 3 and 4 I played singles, along with justin and benjamin. then p5 and 6 I switched to playing doubles with jacky. the only other doubles in the team was binn binn and joel. joel damn funny. Everytime before serving he will bounce once. then during practice, I'll go and steal jacky's shots, so he ends up very sian. Usually I play at the front, but I run back alot.
P4:
People in P4: Mrs Maalini
P4 was when I started writing stories. The first compo I wrote in primary 4 got 38 out of 40, so I was really motivated by it. Of course, I owe it all to my english teacher, Mrs Maalini. She was the one who gave me the 38, and encouraged me to continue writing. Would you believe it, all my compos in the past were like 12/20 that kind. So I was very shocked when I got the 38/40. I can't remember what it was about though.
P5:
Another turning point in my life. this is the point where Ms Yeo convinced me to release the anger. As in, turn from angry guy to docile guy. I did. Long story.
People in P5:
Mdm Lin (chinese teacher. I feel sorry for her. will explain)
Eong Rui Xuan (eong....lol)
Samuel Low
Erfi Anugrah
Mdm Lin was my chinese teacher in P5. I started hating chinese in p5. no, it's not really her fault..it's just that chinese started getting more difficult...and higher chinese (just realized that higher chinese is actually hydrochloric acid) all that shit....So ya my homework sucked and everything. Mdm Lin, if for whatever reason you are reading this, I really didn't mean to heck care my chinese. After all, being in sec school makes you realize that primary school homework was so much better.
Eong Rui Xuan was a very weird girl. Funny, but a bit eccentric at times...Samuel, being the usual hypocrite, ended up going after her after commenting that she was nothing special. Haha. guys who know him now will know that in sec 1, he said this regarding Vanessa (Ng Qiu Rui), "Okay lah..." look what he's doing now.
Erfi Anugrah was a very important person in my life. No I'm not gay. He was the one who first introduced me to Metal, which turned out to be, as most of you know now, my preferred genre of music. One day we were just sitting in class shooting the shit. We talked about music. He said, "What do you listen to?" I told him. Then he mentioned Metal....He said, "Go check out Before I Forget by Slipknot". I did, and though the change wasn't immediate, eventually Metal was the only music I listened to. Erfi you hentai-addicted metalhead, if you're reading this man....CUT DOWN ON THE HENTAI.
P6:
P6 was the final point of my primary school life, which also turned out to be one of my most stressful years in primary school. Teachers were piling us with homework. PSLE PSLE PSLE. I ignored most of the homework, and still got A* for 3/4 subjects, A for the remaining one, and Distinction for Higher Chinese. Do I rock or do I rock?
People in P6:
Mrs Ng.
Mrs Ng was my english teacher. I remember a few of her classic quotes....
Regarding her personal life, while smiling, "You are an inquisitive bunch!"
Regarding the word/non-word "thingy", "Do not coin the english language!" again while smiling. I don't think she ever hated us.
Interesting thing that happened when I went to get my PSLE results though. 3 of my 4 subject teachers were sitting there. My english teacher, Mrs Ng, my maths teacher, Ms Yeo, and my chinese teacher, Mdm Lin. I walked up, and all of them were smiling. None of them had seen the result slip before hand.Mdm Lin handed me my results slip, saying "哇，高级华文 Distinction!" I take a look at my result slip. I was thinking....I have done minimal homework for the whole year. I was playing rakion during the actual PSLE. What could I get. Very cool marks, it turns out. I read it down.
English A*
Chinese A
Maths A*
Science A*
Higher Chinese: Distinction.
I smile and laugh along with my teachers. They were probably expecting me to screw my PSLE.
I will never forget the day I chose RV as my secondary school. Turns out to be one of the worse choices I ever made.
Anyway.
Sec 1:
Sec 1 was pretty normal. It was where I started giving up on homework.
People in Sec 1:
Vanessa
Samuel Low
Danish
Yaoqing
Nothing much in sec 1. I became slack, stupid and immature. Annoying.
Regarding the Samuel Vanessa thing. Xiaobo and I were the ones who introduced them to each other. I told Samuel about the existence of Vanessa. Xiaobo gave him her email. Haha...At first Xiaobo said that he thinks Vanessa quite chio. Samuel said, "Okay only lah" Look where he is now. Samuel you jackass. In P6 you said your standards were higher.
Sec 2:
Sec 2 was a transition. By the end of year 2, I started being active in things I liked, though still slack in things I don't like. I grew more mature. I grew stronger. And at the end of year 2, I started doing PK.
People in Sec 2:
Vanessa
Claire Bon
Huixian
Tan Wenting
Jerome Tan
Chen Huakai
Liu Bolun
Tseng Wei
Wong Junwei
Danish
Yao Qing
Vanessa has never ceased to amaze me with her intellect. And so it is with sec 2, I still don't like her. Common Sense is something easily found, however hard you may believe, vanessa.
Claire and Wenting were the people who were mostly in charge of the welfare of 2B. Claire convinced me to become more mature and Wenting was a constant bully magnet. Thanks arh...
I practically sat with Huixian for the whole of sec 2. Many thanks for the interesting discussions and for not doing homework. Every one person who doesn't do homework leads to a higher chance of teacher extending deadline.
And now with 5 of the more important people
Jerome
Bolun
Huakai
Tseng Wei
Junwei
In sec 2, the 6 of us formed the Imba 6. I remember how it began. Some audition thingy? Think it was CNY or something. "Go hall! Go hall!" "Go home! Go home!" lol..... Fun times guys. Thank all of you for sticking together in our path of destruction, rebellion and bullying.
Sec 3:
Sec 3 has just begun. Already I'm seeing people who will be important. But who? I don't know yet. For now....
Jerome
Junwei
Ms Hia
Ms Neo
CP(PKSG)
Dblucy(PKSG)
Zahid(PKSG)
Stephen(PKSG)
Stanley(PKSG)
Ashton(PKSG)
Nomad(PKSG)
Nazir(PKSG)
Richie(PKSG)
Jon(PKSG)
Austin(PKSG)
And maybe some more?

Haha...At first Xiaobo said that he thinks Vanessa quite chio. Samuel said, "Okay only lah" Look where he is now. Samuel you jackass. In P6 you said your standards were higher.
Sec 2:
Sec 2 was a transition. By the end of year 2, I started being active in things I liked, though still slack in things I don't like. I grew more mature. I grew stronger. And at the end of year 2, I started doing PK.
People in Sec 2:
Vanessa
Claire Bon
Huixian
Tan Wenting
Jerome Tan
Chen Huakai
Liu Bolun
Tseng Wei
Wong Junwei
Danish
Yao Qing
Vanessa has never ceased to amaze me with her intellect. And so it is with sec 2, I still don't like her. Common Sense is something easily found, however hard you may believe, vanessa.
Claire and Wenting were the people who were mostly in charge of the welfare of 2B. Claire convinced me to become more mature and Wenting was a constant bully magnet. Thanks arh...
I practically sat with Huixian for the whole of sec 2. Many thanks for the interesting discussions and for not doing homework. Every one person who doesn't do homework leads to a higher chance of teacher extending deadline.
And now with 5 of the more important people
Jerome
Bolun
Huakai
Tseng Wei
Junwei
In sec 2, the 6 of us formed the Imba 6. I remember how it began. Some audition thingy? Think it was CNY or something. "Go hall! Go hall!" "Go home! Go home!" lol..... Fun times guys. Thank all of you for sticking together in our path of destruction, rebellion and bullying.
Sec 3:
Sec 3 has just begun. Already I'm seeing people who will be important. But who? I don't know yet. For now....
Jerome
Junwei
Ms Hia
Ms Neo
CP(PKSG)
Dblucy(PKSG)
Zahid(PKSG)
Stephen(PKSG)
Stanley(PKSG)
Ashton(PKSG)
Nomad(PKSG)
Nazir(PKSG)
Richie(PKSG)
Jon(PKSG)
Austin(PKSG)
And maybe some more?

TC reflects about his life; gives up reflection for burger
Many of you know me quite well. Actually, who am I kidding, NONE of you know me well. But enough to know parts of my personality. I suppose it is no secret that I'm quite fickle. Though it may surprise some of you to hear/read this, I do think about it sometimes. I often wonder if it's due to my reasoning mind or my reptilian mind; i.e. head or heart. Some of you may recall me saying I want to be a bachelor for a long time, but I wonder now if perhaps that is wise. I'll need at least 2 little assholes to carry on my legacy anyway.
Many times I have thought whether I would be fickle my whole life, or just for now. Many times I have given up thinking for something less torturous on my brain, e.g. sleeping/eating/sleeping/eating/sleeping. Now however I can't sleep nor eat. So I guess I'll just go play a game. Which brings me to my next point.
Gaming has become something of a lifestyle for me. FPS? No sweat. RPG? Piece of cake. RTS? I know Hannibal's tactics like ABCs. We all know of people who have made gaming their professional career. Can I do it? Sure. Do I want to? I have no idea. Naturally my parents would prefer I not be a gamer but I've never really cared too much about what they want me to be. Rather, it is about the lifespan of the gaming market. Many many games = less games with good quality = less fun = less gamers = less games = no market. Will it stay? Gaming is too unstable a job.
I'm starting to rant. I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm sleepy. Can I ever not wake up? Would be fun I guess. But not right now. I have too much unaccomplished. Shit. I'm sounding like some emo jackal. The worst fear of every man is to become that which he most despises. Am I walking the road to damnation? I guess I am. Am I having fun? Maybe. Am I ready to die anytime soon? No, I'm not. I'll boot Hades back to his foggy pit if he tries to collect me. Sorry for the complete lack of humour in this post guys. I'm brain-dead.

Update
Hi guys had no time to update recently because I'm kinda tired out by the start of the school year. And also because I'm lazy. Anyway.
Life has been kinda shitty recently. Or not. I'm not sure. I've improved quite a lot in parkour, but there's still a long way to go, i.e. the rest of my life. Fell down in shit the previous tuesday. Shitwater at least. Not fun. Huakai, if you're reading this, you owe me 10 dollars.
Not looking forward to the new additions to the scout troop this coming Feb/March. I kinda hate sec 1s. If you want to ask me whether I hate my sec 1 self, yes. Why? They're ignorant, loud, childish, annoying. But we're all like that. I acknowledge that. Doesn't stop me from hating them. I hate primary school kids more anyway. Luckily I won't be interacting with them much until the ASLs have taught them what they need to know. Let's hope this year's sec 1s are more competent.
3L is alright I guess. Let's hope it just gets better.
I don't know what to make of my life now. As of now, except from my family, close friends and Parkour, there's nothing to live for. Guess I'll just focus on parkour for now. PKSG FTW!

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all my readers, and thank you for reading this blog for as long as you have. Unless this is the first time. In which case go screw yourself.
Happy New Year to 2B'08 for being a *not gonna say it* class all year round, and last year. You have been an endless source of amusement, frustration and disgust.
Happy New Year to Imba 6. You have been an endless source of pain and amusement.
Happy New Year to Bobo/Bolun/宝宝/Balloon for being.....Bolun.
Happy New Year to Rvians for making me feel like dying all year round.
Happy New Year to the RV teachers for being complete asses all year round, with the exception of those few. Who will know who they are.
Happy New Year to 3L'09 because I know if I don't include you guys something will happen to me next year.
Happy New Year to all the Primary 6 Xingnanians of 2006 for turning into complete jackasses in sec school.
Happy New Year to PKSG, especially those who came for the NYE jam. It was great and I hope that there will be more jams like these in the future. Special thanks to the more experienced guys(whose names elude me) for teaching the beginners and to cp for filming. Better make a good video out of it.
Happy New Year to that guy playing guitar and harmonica in the Clarke Quay underpass. It'd better be because I gave you $1.20. And that other guy playing guitar on my way back. Because I gave you $2(I noticed everyone else put down coins).
And Happy New Year to everyone else whom I haven't mentioned for whatever reason.
And if you guys really wanna know, yes I DID run into a wall. You should try what I did. You'll not only injure your knee with a few minor scratches.
P.S. Good luck to the teachers of 3L'09.
