Totally crap. There seems to be too much to do in such a short time. I think I really got to do more than what I've been doing for the past few days. I'm feeling a sense of urgency now. Possibly sudden. I'm out of the country in like 12 days. And I plan to clear my homework by then. I'm no where near there.
I woke up to news that Chelsea clocked up another win. Good thing. Now Spurs can cement their position in the top 4. And Real Madrid lost =)
I spent part of my morning on Maple again. Got so bored that I decided to tour round the world. I saw the Super Izar bandana. Looks super cool compared to the Izar bandana. I think it depends on the colour. I'm still a long way from 50.
I spent the afternoon trying to slack and do some work. I managed to get some Maths done. Good. But still not good enough.
Just finished crapping my way through the Runescape event. Don't ask why I was on Runescape. I have trouble comprehending it at the moment. But I learnt one thing. People who SEEM to be trustworthy can still be idiots. So thanks to that retarded piece of advice I spent half an hour wandering around aimlessly.
Whatever the case, I'm still annoyed. Next time I'll test my CSS together with a whole new skin. No point trying to get things HALF DONE. The end result is the crappy piece of stuff you're looking at. I'm reverting back to the old one. At least it looks presentable.
And the search for the missing posts goes on. Where are you people???
And I'm not labelling. It's a waste of time. So is this post... =(
I'm annoyed. Don't make my mood worse.

Today has been a busy day. I've noticed recently: busy day = bad day.
If you guys have actually been looking at my posts you'll noticed that the past few days sort of disappeared. I usually do it in notepad first, but somehow those files went missing and I didn't post on blogger. (Rather I was too lazy to post here.) So I'm searching. Meanwhile just ignore it?
I sincerely hope that three teams lose their matches tonight: Real Madrid - for spending so much money in a recession - to Barcelona by a big margin, Chelsea - for being at the top of the EPL table - to lose to Arsenal. (Actually I'm divided over this one. Why would I be supporting the Gunners??? But then if Chelsea lose then Spurs would have a better shot a the title ;)) And lastly Liverpool to lose to Everton because they have a retard as manager and they over rely on Gerrard.
Went to Sitex to see stuff. I was thinking maybe something decent at a fantastic price would appear. Ended up only pointless stuff appeared together with lots of people who were determined to kill the EARTH. Why waste so many pieces of paper? I took a whole load - not exactly took. I was forced to take by these extremely pushy people - and later dumped then in the recycle bin. I didn't have a choice at all.
Then we went to Bedok to look at travel bags. Another pointless trip with the whole load of EXPENSIVE bags. Bought nothing again.
Then went NTUC to look at any bargain deals. Ended up seeing the same herbal chicken or something that I saw too weeks back or so. Turned out that my mum cooked it during my Council Camp. Thankfully. It tasted horrible. Very horrid. And they bought another packet. =(
Then when we were going out I saw a bar of Hershey's. That was good. The best part was I was super hungry.
Went Ikea to look at almost everything. Ikea would be the best place to get any furniture. But the shuttle bus needs improving. DEFINITELY.

DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING POST IS MY EXACT THOUGHTS OF THE DAY'S EVENTS. THIS WAS WHAT I FELT EXACTLY ON WED, 25 NOV. CAMP'S OVER!!!
Oh crap. Today I overslept. Louis came over to wake me up. He's a kind soul. ;)
Had morning PT. Tun Yang was right all along. I still remember being unconvinced when he told me the first time. Was like the usual kind. Jazin didn't tuck in his shirt so he got 20 rounds. Then later we got to run 2 rounds round the school.
Had a similar breakfast to yesterday. I went for the cake this time together with one plain piece of bread. Cuz I was lazy to wait for the peanut butter.
Went back to the bunk since we had some free time. We decided to be hardworking by pushing back the tables.
Then we had the final hour of the talk by Mr Ong. Somehow he drifted off topic to about me knowing alot about history (or was it literature?).
Then we had to go back to sort out the tables - which we have already done - before going back to the hall for the gift exchange.
Back at the hall we had to fill in a couple of forms. So I lent out my whole pencilcase again. Then everyone returned. Then had ANOTHER form to fill up. So lent out the pens/pencils/markers again.
Then the gave out the prizes for the winning groups. I was more or less certain that we wouldn't win. We didn't.
Then they announced the names of the 15 exco understudy that they have chosen. I was feeling more nervous (?) then usual. So Ms Pey say out 14 names but she thought she said all the 15. Obviously my name was not inside. Then I think Desmond reminded her that there was one more on the list. Suddenly it became super obvious who that person was.
So they dismissed everyone earlier than expected. Then the 15 of us had to do some stuff. First was carrying the blazers back to the Council Room.
Then we have to start planning for the 2010 Sec 1 orientation camp. I'm under Human Resource/Logistics. Seems interesting.
Then I went home. Whole day slack like siao. Do completely NOTHING AT ALL

DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING POST IS MY EXACT THOUGHTS OF THE DAY's EVENTS. THIS WAS WHAT I FELT EXACTLY ON TUES, 24 NOV. IGNORE THE POST TIME ;)
Woke up earlier than I had expected. Feeling extremely sleepy. Breakfast was bread with peanut butter. Seemed too sticky for my liking. After breakfast was supposed to be in-line skating, but they (the coaches) were not ready yet, so we played the bombing game.
In-line skating (not rollerblading) was something I wanted to try for quite a while back but eventually forgot about it. So it essentially meant that this was my maiden attempt. We learnt how to stand, and fall. I can never seem to fall properly. I never land on my knees at all. Standing was tricky. Got to keep yourself from moving at all.
We learnt how to do some stuff, like how to brake etc. Went in cycles round the basketball court. I kept falling. I think I fell the most. It was very interesting. Everyone was like looking at their feet. Wanted to drink but had to crawl to that bench. LOLS.
Later had Captain's Ball. I wasn't expecting to win much, seriously. Its like so random - you group different kinds of people together, some have conflicting styles of playing. But I'm glad to say that I think my group did well, despite only winning 2 games - the first and the last, both against group 2 who lost all their matches.
Lunch was from the same company as last night's dinner. I wonder if they got a discount?
After lunch was the talk again. This time it was at least moderately interesting. We played domino building. We were split into 2 groups (Group 1 and Group 2 - I'm in Group 1). Then the 2 groups split again (Builders and Fighters - I'm a builder).
The fighters didn't do too well. So we ended up with a whole lot less bricks than the other team. Say Hao had this great way to get the bricks over the box, but I think it was costly too. Managed to get everyone to play on the safe side. Since we had less bricks, we were certain to lose that 1 point. We could only make sure we had no breaks and they had some.
We succeeded while the other group had a break. So it was a tie. 0-0
Then we got another attempt. This time tried to stretch the length. Stretched like siao. But got wayyy too many breaks. So we lost =(
Went to Compass Point to buy ingredients for the Cooking Competition. It was meant for OURdinner, and Mr Neo and Ms Pey's dinner.
We decided on some weird ingredients. Went to Cold Storage. Seemed like everything very expensive so we had to cut down on the things we needed to buy.
After that we went back and had to convince the excos to give us 2 eggs. We managed to do so =). But I think Shuyi looks like Christie. Only just realized it.
Only 3 could cook in the Home Econs room so the remaining 7 of us went back to 1D to practice the cheer and plan how to smoke.
The cheer seemed good at first glance. Its simple to remember =)
The had to come up with the script for the smoking part.
For the whole time Fengxia was busy wasting my marker ink by drawing on the whiteboard. ;)
A whole load of junk. You can see its Erica's handwriting, but she went over to help with the cooking so i scribbled in the last few lines.
I think it essentially tells you what I was going to speak about.
Then we brought the food to the canteen. Our maggi mee looked like rice. There seemed to be too much sauce. And there was still two super large bowls filled to the brim. Doesn't seem too appetizing.
So we were the second group to smoke. No good. I would like to be either the first or last.
I missed out on introducing our dish name. But the rules stated that no saying bad about other groups so we had to throw out the Prego sauce stuff. Wanted to add more but Ms Pey suddenly said 20 seconds left. Caught me off guard, but I still managed to end decently with the PASSION part. =) At least my group was super enthusiastic.
For the cheer we suddenly couldn't remember some part. Then everyone pause. Super awkward. =(
We tasted our food. NG. I think it was cold thats why not nice. So we poured away one whole bowl of the food. What a waste.
Went to bathe. The toilet was empty... I ended up in the same cubicle as the one I used on Monday.
Later at 9 we went to the hall for the nightwalk. We had to blindfold ourselves. Someone - I don't know who - moved me from my original position to somewhere in the front. If I'm not wrong directly in front of me was Fengxia and ahead of her was Abigail who would be leading. I'm not certain who was behind me though, but my best guess would be Joey.
Learnt something from the Nightwalk though - Trust is important. You've got to learn to trust the person infront of you, as well as your exco. I still want to know why Jia Wen made us walk in circles though.
We were led back into the hall later. They placed us in a circle. We were still blindfolded though. Then the person beside me knock me to ask who am I. Turned out that it was Jodi beside me. We were playing some game which I again have no idea whats the name. We played it in our bunks on the same day that we played Murderer. [Murderer would have been more fun in the dark.]
You had to look behind you to see if there was a key behind you. If behind was a key, then you would have to start chasing the person who placed the key before he/she took over your place. Too bad. I never got the chance to run around.
Later before we went to sleep we had the opportunity to fill out a peer evaluation form. I was like super sleepy so I was practically scribbling throughout the form. I think I was the only one in the whole camp to bring a pencilbox. I ended up passing round my pens/pencils/markers to whoever who needed it. I'm a good person. My only regret about doing that was not charging rent ;)

DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING POST IS MY EXACT THOUGHTS OF THE DAY's EVENTS. THIS WAS WHAT I FELT EXACTLY ON MON, 23 NOV. IGNORE THE POST TIME ;)
Today was the start of the Annual Student Council camp. This is the very first camp that I'm not feeling apprehensive about. Then again, I've only went for a measly two (or was it three?) others before this - P5 Adventure Camp and Sec 1 Orientation Camp. So far all 3D 2N.
I'd time myself to reach there on time. Too bad. I forgot to account for the traffic. Ended up like 20 seconds late. We were in the parade square when it started drizzling. So they were forced to move us to the canteen. We had to surrender our handphones. I'm not surprised. But I think they could have been more relaxed about that part.
Alphonsus got the us (the guys) to carry up some stuff to the council room. When we came down the split up the 7 of us into 6 groups. I was with Hazik in group 1. But Hazik was leaving that night =(
Went to the bunk - class 1D's classroom. Our group comprised of: Joey, Fengxia, Michelle, Say Hao, Hazik, Abigail, Jasmine, Claris, Leona and Erica Siew. Interesting mix of people. =) Our group I/C was Jia Wen. If I'm not wrong she was my group's I/C during my Sec 1 camp too.
Started off with the usual ice-breaker games. I'm personally against them. They are always the same things - not worth the time, but good to fill up any free time ;) So it was a whole load of forfeits for almost everyone. There was a lot of interesting games too.
Then we went up to the DnT room for a leadership course conducted by Mr Ong, the same guy from the Student Leaders Forum then. Wasn't too inspiring, as it was wayyy to long. But at least I managed to remember some things there.
And here's a question to those groups that placed Compassion/Perseverance/Innovation/Sincerity above Respect in that group discussion.
Terrorists persevere in their aims - that leads to unnecessary deaths. Surely with respect for other lives would come above?
Or if they were sincere about blowing people up? Same thing...
Lunch was roti prata. Two kosong and one egg. We were the first group to get the food. I maintain that in these camps, always take your food LAST. Then your food won't get cold. The prata was wayyy to hard. But at least the provender was better than nothing.
We had an Amazing Race after that. I knew that there was surely an ulterior motive for that ;) In the end it was meant for us to learn/refresh our minds on how to do the different duties. A creative way to do it ;)
Then came the water games. There was too little water bombs. Next year I'm hoping that they will be more generous with them. Later Jazin poured the whole bucket of water on me. Very shiok =)
Dinner came from some weird company. Hazik didn't have anything to eat with. Later found an extra spoon for him.
Played some game which I had no idea whats it called after dinner. The objective was to find the location which was pictured, and find something wrong there. Our first place was the quadrangle. All I did was to shine my torchlight randomly. It spotted for me something stuck over one class. Bingo!
Went to other locations: 3rd floor staircase (toilet sign), canteen (telephone sign), outside general office (signboard), and two more which I can't remember.
They played Night At The Museum 2 for those who can't sleep. I decided to watch some. Gave up as I've seen it already. I went to sleep instead. Ended up waking up before it ended. Every hour or so I woke up. Horrid night.

Wah... I made history by making 8 daily updates then I went MIA for the past 5 days... Its definitely not my fault. Blame it on anything else but me =)
Ever since MapleSEA released Aran I just can't help but go and play. But still that doesn't really explain why I went missing for Monday and Tuesday ;) Aran only came out on Wednesday. I've always had a soft spot for Maple. Dunno why?
Star Trek Online will be coming out next year. Sometime in February. =( By that time surely got to prepare for tests. Where got time to play??? =(
I'm bored. My coding attempt somehow was messed up by something, though I think it was me. ;)
Council Camp on Monday. Soon at least.
Something's wrong with my Tagboard?

2009 has been an eventful year. We've made through another year of being together, and despite our differences, it was definitely smooth sailing. I probably won't see you guys anytime soon, so here's sort of a parting tribute =)
By register number:
The ladies:
1. Ang Yi Xuan
- I've always found something mysterious about you. Helpful and sort of a funny person =)

3. Audrey
- The one to have interesting discussions with. You never fail to impress me xD
4. Jun Chao
- You leave a lasting impression with your distinctive style.
5. Krichelle
- I think you contribute great ideas to the class. I'd rather you had been in the class most of the time to make things more lively.
6. Cindy
- I can never understand you. You seem very relaxed and sort of indescribable at the exact moment.
7. Claire
- One of the more vocal ones in class. You'll probably make a good activist ;)
8. WeiQi
- The Quiet One. I don't really remember having much interaction.
9. Janelle
- Don't get too disappointed everytime the English results are back. There's more to life than just exam results =)
10. Jerilene
- The only other Councillor in 2D. Great friend, and does help to remind me whenever I forget about any Councillor meetings ;) Also very helpful =)
11. Gina
- A very fun person to be around with. Only thing:Can't you think of better things to do than step on my feet?

16. Afrah
- You did an excellent job as the class chairperson this year. I think you're too efficient ;)

18. Tan Yi Xuan
- Thanks for the good advice for the class deco that time. You are a great adviser =)
19. Yu Han

20. Wen Hui
- Hmmm I think you rock ;) Always willing to help others, you are a valuable friend =)
21. Minqi
- I'm surprised that you admire me. But you are definitely a fantastic person.

27. Jason

30. Zhen Yuan
- You really like you CCA huh? I don't remember you ever missing any of those sessions.
31. Si Cong

32. Luqman
- The most creative person in 2D. You always seem to have anything Desmond needs on hand. And you probably done a great job in helping the class clean up ;)

- We take the same bus together. You provide interesting side facts that help make the bus ride less boring sometimes.
34. Si Kai
- I think you add the bit of dynamite to the class =)
35. Nicholas Lee
- You could be more approachable. Sometimes I feel like you're not around. Don't be invisible!
36. Nicolas Lye
- Born slacker. (Just joking ;)) Helps out whenever possible, but is definitely the eternal pessimist.
37. Kenn
- Shows of his dribbling skills on the pitch. You'll make a great winger, but I think you are invisible at times.
38. Liang Zhou
- Easily the richest and most generous. But the one most willing to help. Fun guy to be around with ;)
39. Jia Yue
- You make a great companion to be with. =)
40. Jia Hao

41. Zemin
- Your academics are good. Hardworking at times but tend to slack a lot ;)
And there you go, the most vibrant and varied class I ever had! *applause* =)
