oh yeah MSA's over for now, heard there'll be like one more round next week la wth ._.

School's starting to get more boring than it already is. Apart from the occasional PE periods we have tchouking away the one to one and a half hour a week, school's really just a drag.

Tchoukball's real fun. After shaoan's intro to the game few weeks back before i started playing it for PE, i realised its more than just throwing the ball hard down onto the tramboline thingy. Its like about counterattacks and throwing the ball at various angles. Thats when physics comes in but argh, physics ): i still am talentless at physics somehow, just cant seem to understand why >:0 Anyway yeah, i think SA really really should start tchoukball real soon, cos they have one potential pro here who is all ready to join man hohoho >)

Actually the workload in school has really piled up, somehow i just can bring myself to complete all of the tutorials and stuff. I needa break after the tests man, the teachers actually know it but they just carry on the lectures and lectures without really bothering about us. Gaa i bet that happens in every school la.

Theres nothign really for me to blog, really. School's pretty much the same everyday. Meet the rest at 6.45, arrive at school, stone for 5mins for the assembly chime to go, lessons, last bell rings, chiong home. Like chiong la, dont like to stay outside somehow. Compared to last time, would normally laze around in school, play around in the classroom, walk the long way back home from school, those were the days when i was really free and well comparatively satisfied with life.

Dont want JC life to end though, i dont wanna go NS. Like seriously, waste of time la D: But other countries dont really have this NS system thingy, probably because they actually have youngsters who are really all so passionate about serving the nation with all their heart and soul but not Singaporeans, like me.

Friday's college day, where all the smart people would come back and receive prizes while people like me would just stone. Then theres also this learning festival thingy where we have 'to pick up a new skill' somehow. Like my class is teaching rollerblading and other classes are doing stuff like magic/ thai boxing. Waste of time la, another potential day to pon school. 2 parents letter, must make full use of it. Speaking of which, i can actually skip school every 2 tuesdays, cos i only have GP and chem and PE then i end at 1. Quite boliao actually, but normally the scheming school always has some academic planner thingy so i have to wait for 2 hours until 3 for the dumb lectures.


So long for now then. Oh yeah, and i learnt from my classmate to bring like prepared sandwiches to school, great idea you guys should try lol, though it makes you seem like some nerd >D

Happy birthday Singapore!

Wanted to catch this year's national day parade on TV but went to NTUC with mum then continued doing work when i got home. So i only managed to catch Electrico's performance and the pledge taking thingy. Wonder if many Singaporeans really recited the pledge as a nation at 8.22 pm or somethin lol, but i definitely didnt :P

So the past week was sorta packed not with tests, maybe a little bit because of homework but definitely because of EOM ): Boo to PW, an even bigger boo to SA who started the subject if im not wrong.

Lets make a lil recap of near the end of the week. thursday my class celebrated the july/august babies birthdays and duh im one of them. So they got these candles which couldnt be blown out because of some physics behind it. Apparently once you blow out the candles, the sudden decrease in temperature (i suppose) caused the wire thingy in the candle to release a spark which lit the candle again. So since i didnt know, i kept blowing like some retard until my classmate like nudged me and told me, then i took out the candle from the mini mousse they had for each of us and stepped on it >( best way to remove fire is to remove oxygen!

So friday was my birthday woo >) But first, national day was really dumb la. only half my class came, the other half snoozing at home being the smarter one. If i didnt have the guitar J2 farewell thingy, or ORD if you wanna call it, i really wouldnt have gone to school. I rather wake up at the same time and head over to nanhua la. So we were given like 3 hours to make a dumb hamper. I spent like most of the time playing my friend's ipoddy. Then, of course we have the community singing thing which every school does. Know whats the best thing? We sang like so many songs, except this year's one. How amazing -.- then finally when we were dismissed i was sooooo happy that the terror was over. So it was guitar farewell, was so slack lol.During the meal time i was playing basketball while the rest of the J1s set up and prepare for the next activity. Then it ended at 4-5, was supposed the meet keelun but then it was too late, so i told him i'll meet him some other time.

So went for dinner at IMM with 404+cherngyew. was 1 hour late but i had reasons ok,but anyway chowler wasnt there yet anyway, so i wasnt the latest :) chatted with yonglak and meichia while waiting at the taxi stand for chowler and was kinda funny, discussing stuff like how fat chowler is now and more. Then when the zara shirt-clad guy stepped out from the cab they said he was buff. lol booo maybe i should train too,but im really too lazy to work out, last time i went gym cos i wanted to get silver for napfa, then somehow i got gold LOL. First time in like, ever. So anyway since the rest had eaten their full at ajisen already, yonglak chowz kjw and i headed to subway to get something fairly cheaper. Then as usual went over to the open-space area at the top to chill. Sang birthday song and cut-ed birthday cake, together with my fellow august-ian classmate kashin.

So as the rest took photos and interacted with one another, i was busy keeping myself away from being soiled by the chocolate cake on any part of my body.Slowly, our classmates shunpoed home as usual leaving only the few of us hanging around till 9, then yonglak kjw chowler sally and i decided to go pool at bukit timah.

So this kickstarts a new chapter of 'The many taxis' lol. At first we got into the taxi with 5 people, but after moving like 10m the uncle realised there're 5 people and insisted that we alight. Then we got rejected by many 4 seater taxis. So we decided to go for those big ones. The first time some couple ksed our large taxi, the second time we were too engrossed in conversation we let a taxi whiz past us ._. Then we finally got hailed for a bigger taxi, but apparently they charge $8 more for the 5th person.Bo hua lor. So decided to chill out at mac's instead. Sat down and chit chatted then left for home around 11.30. we were like playing at the escalator, cos it seemed kinda funny when you let yourself get lifted by the escalator when youre not on the escalator but on the 'outside' of the escalator lol.

So impromptu decision to head over to NJ to play tennis on saturday morning, partly because i wanna work those lazy muscles of mine since i havent been exercising much lately. Ran merely 2 continuous laps around the track with the sprint-jog-sprint-jog technique and i was about to collaspe already. Oh no, where did my 1 year ago 9min 46sec 2.4 timing go T.T So after resting a while then i continued on with another 2 laps. So was tennis. Me being a tennis noob since i've never played before got wooped by our fellow captain koh and his friend. Played from 8-12, bathed and chilled out in the empty canteen. And of all people guess who came just before we left! Jiahao came popping by from across the canteen, apparently he was back for council stuff. Then he brought some spraypaint for some painting thingy then we started playing around with it.NJ had some corner that was meant for all this doodling and needless to say, i left my mark in the NJ compounds :P oh ya, and we outsmarted the drink machine in some very old school bad boy method and i managed to get my 100 plus at 60c lol. Take that autobots and decepticons! So we played with spraypaint for like 2 hours, left around 2, headed over to golden rooster for lunch. Left for home and bathed again, saw some friends downstairs at the basketball court and went down to play, came home and bathed again lol. Now my whole arm is still aching from tennis 'training' lol.

Tennis's so fun, i wanna play again :D So that pretty much sums up the week, with the main events happening like only on the later part of the week. Next week's MSA 2, and i have test on tuesday,wednesday,thursday,friday.Wait, thats the whole week! and then i have chem test on the following monday. boooo. Recce on saturday, and night cycling probably on friday night, wonder if i can tahan or not o.o



*edit* man, how is it that it seems like only SA is having the second round of tests after the common tests ._.

After a rather long time, ORD has finally come.

Prep and all werent really well done, ut if you take into account the limited amount of time they were given, ceteris paribus, it was actually a job well done. Or at least thats what the inexperienced me thinks.

So it was the usual speeches,plauque giving, video montages with the exception of having no funky performances due to H1N1 ~_~ H1N1 has really really screwed quite a lot of things up, i mean although we( or at least me) somehow hope to get quarantined, i still gotta admit it has definitely upset-ted my everyday life and schedules. So like a very very very small group of my squadmates came back, which was rather sad cos i got kjw to sms almost everyone. Bravo to those who came though, they got to enjoy free cater food.Chao smsed me around like 12 telling me he just woke up when he should be there at 8 ): Oh yeah, we almost didnt get to use the auditorium because the environmentalists club booked it or somethin but in the end we managed to utilise the auditorium, no idea what happened though. Everything else was cut short, no npcc pledge, no muster parade boooo. 3 hour ORD aint fun.

Sorta reminded me of my ORD, but i really gotta admit with Sunny/Edwin in saying that our squad, with greater emphasis on the guys, are really bloody camwhores >)Like we really went round to take pictures with everyone. TOs, HOs, juniors, seniors, whoever, we'll just pull him/her into the camera and start snapping. Good days good days. Somehow this wasnt that apparent in this sec4 squad, not even the girls seem to take a lot of pictures, or maybe i didnt really notice. hmmm.....

So Sunny/Edwin are ORDing or rather ORDed along with letts,stella and jieheng. To me, nhnp has definitely lost 2 especially important assets, Sunny was the type of CI who was really hard to find. Not because what he did, but because what he dares to do. Sunny was actually my sec1 IC, back then he wasnt that old and stuff, but he pretty much remained the same. You know, sunny wasnt really helping out in the hard skills part of the unit, he was really pushing on the soft skills part. Discipline, attitudem, etc etc. Best thing is he can realy switch between crazy freakomaniac to really serious/fierce/to-the-point and sensical/logical cadet inspector. This, I sincerely salute to you, CI Gan Jia Hao, aka sunny. Not many people call him sunny too, considering that its his secondary school nickname, i think im one of the only few who still insist on calling him with his nickname lol.

The next para would be really a thank you note to Edwin. Perhaps one of my most respected fellow CIs, he is really one damn imba hard and soft skills person. I remember i was teaching the sec3s orienteering during their nco course, edwin didnt even need to refer to any notes or whatsoever when it was his turn to take over. Like wth lol, i had to print notes for myself and stuff and somehow everything seemed to just pour out from his head O.O Hes a really good dude who really goes all out to improving the cadets and the unit on the whole, mind you, hes been with nhnp for like what, 9 years. Thats including his cadet/nco years, but even so thats like a hell of a long time man, considering that we're so young. So on behalf of nhnp, i think i can really say we thank you for all your contributions and all to the unit.

ORD really just means new blood taking over, hopefull the sec3s would be able to do a fine job in maintaining the unit's standard. Today was also my first event after being a CI since graduating on the 27th of june, then i was thinking, would i be able to make a change or at least provide the necessary assisstance of aiding the sec3s to bring the unit up to a gold. Sunny told me sometimes its time to be soft, sometimes its not, but somehow i just dont see myself scolding and yelling at cadets/ncos, i mean, i prefer to settle things the 'teach less, learn more' way, cos somehow i find it a rather effective method. I dont know what im afraid of though, putting a fierce front, or getting angry over the mistakes, is it becaus im afraid that i'll lose control? I really have to say its been long since i got angry, not pissed or sian-ned, and i dont really like the feeling of it. Its like not being me anymore la, but then again you dont have to be fierce to get stuff done, just have to be stern, like B.Lim lol.

Ah, so little things, so little time. STC, Milestone assessment tests 2 comin up, Project Work, and i still have to actually make time to practice the guitar pieces being practiced during the practice hours to compensate for the times i've skipped guitar for NP. :O Would i crumble into dust someday? Nah, though i got all this shit that i've gotta do, im sure everyone else is busy too. Check out amandaang, considering to take up a 6th cca. You go girl! o.o Boo to JC life, lucky its only 2 years. With all the work piling up, im wondering whether i can really afford to spend time to go down for campcraft com trainings in future man :S The trainings are like so intensive, like i remember mine was EVERYDAY after school. Damn tired but in the end we top 30 seh, dont play play.

Instead of saying FML like everyone else, I think i'll say that life is rather occupied-ful if theres such a word, but im sure it'll get better, hopefully. Or
maybe its just that i've been slacking so much thats why im so 'busy' Hmmm.....
