Siloso Beach Party

2008-01-01T12:03:00.001+08:00

boys night out at the siloso beach party!

ok now introducing all those who went...

teamboat! (2/3s)

WENjie and loong

tubby justin arjun senthil (hidden behind sneaky sia)

gren NOSE and mark NOSE and jaaf

our teacher in charge mr. siva!

so we all decided to meet at 7.30pm RST (Rugger Standard Time) at harbourfront mrt. everyone reached by around 7.45pm. then we grabbed some sausages and buns (i love such phallic imagery) before heading off towards sentosa. suddenly, out of nowhere

"TUBBY!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!"

i was curious so i looked at tubby. and then we all laughed.

you see, the organisation was the siloso BEACH party, and the brochures etc. all told us to wear BEACH wear and SANDALS or SLIPPERS. picture included for reference.

tubby was, however, very special.

JEANS and LOAFERS, wtf? hahahahah.

ok after rediculing tubby for... oh wait we did it for the rest of the night. and morning. we reached sentosa where i saw many pretty lights!

then we headed towards the main entrance...

we entered the beach using wenloong's VIP tickets (thanks wenloong!). there were some kodak photographers waiting for us and took 3 of our pictures. i really felt like paris hilton then. after taking the photos, we proceeded to where the party was. or rather, was supposed to be.

IT WAS EMPTY!!!!

disappointed, we trudged off towards the vip area, where the great phototaking skills of mine produced these 2 brilliant group shots.

dark

and darker

hey, i tried.

anyway since the party was not happening we just lazed around in the vip area, doing what we do best - entertain ourselves. arjun took the lead. he was...

"eating"

merrymaking with senthil

we made a new friend, who i shall call "snakey snakey" for now, and took many pictures with... it

lam trying to EAT the snake

we also made some new female friends who agreed to dance in front of us on the podium.

yarright they were just hired dancers. my fanciful imagination :(

anyway the musical lineup was as such:

EIC

DJ Shy (acting her name under the cap O_O)

DJ Rough, Incognito, DJ Jensen, DJ Kavan (we left before him haha)

The party started when DJ Shy and DJ Rough were up. So we went to join the PARTAY!!! Arjun again showcased his zealousness by ripping off his shirt, a la HULK style, and shouted his warcry.

I WANNA GET LAID!!!!

tubby followed suit, ripping off his shirt and shouting...

I'M GONNA GET LAID!!!!

for those curious, the rest of us did not follow suit. we kept our cool and just enjoyed the stuffy party.

yay!

before we knew it, it was already 2008!!! FIREWORKS!!!

after awhile more, we went to rest at the side, where arjun posed for a few pictures to show off his beautiful smile, most likely preparing for the wild dancing that he would showcase later.

soooo charming

anyway incognito came and kinda ruined the entire mood with jazz music. not saying that they weren't good, its just that the party was kinda turned off by the jazz music. so we headed back to the vip area and chilled until dj jensen and his house music. once dj jensen started playing, arjun realised that it was his calling, and bounded straight to the stage to start dancing. he was WILD man. WILD.

i also happened to capture an EXTREMELY rare video of SENTHIL grooving to usher's yeah.

anyway after that we went for supper at seah im and then cabbed home. okay wenloong and i cabbed home, while the rest took the night rider bus home. that's all, folks!

ps. with so many pictures of arjun, i'm REALLY tempted to start an arjunrox.blogspot.com =p

Maria Sharapova Live

2007-12-31T14:22:00.002+08:00

GUESS WHO'S BACK!!!

Ok anyway I went to watch Maria Sharapova live yesterday @ Singapore Indoor Stadium. After getting holland-ed on the PIE and getting lost for around 10-20 mins, my dad and I finally reached the LOOOOONG ASS QUEUE to get into the stadium. Ohwell. What's new, queuing up in Singapore? I have to say, I was quite irritated at a disgruntled angmoh couple that commented "so much for Singapore's organisation". This was because alot of people were trying to move from the East entrance to the North entrance, and vice versa. Well if everyone had the sense to open their eyes and go to their respective entrances instead of following the crowd like typical Singaporeans do, there wouldn't be such a problem! But oh well. What can I dew?

So after a good half an hour of queuing up, I finally got into the stadium. Nice air con, comfy seats... and I fell asleep. Ok no I didn't but the wait was boring because the match was delayed due to inclement weather (wow that's a term that I use ONLY in NS hahaha). The match was OK lar. Maria won 6-0, 7-6 (12-10). The scoreline flattered her I think -- Anna Chakvetadze (impossible to spell correctly sometimes) did play good tennis also but just made more errors than Sharapova did. I bought a nice Haagen Dazs belgium chocolate to enjoy the match. Mmmmmmm. For the desperate, here's some pictures to whet your appetite.

Here comes the 250 decibels!!!

Gearing up for the 4209138123km/h serve

I got tonnes of pictures should anyone want them. HQ. Just ask.

Anyway watching the match has reaffirmed that some Singaporeans are just not well cultured enough. Like hey, who shouts "KILL HER, MARIA!" in the middle of a tennis match? It just shows how immature some Singaporeans are, and it's quite disgusting to think that such people are allowed into such events. Of course, I don't mean that ALL Singaporeans aren't well cultured, it's just a specific few that present that bad image of Singaporeans. And after the event, most of them didn't have the courtesy to pick up their own litter, leaving the indoor stadium in a COMPLETE mess -- 7-11 cups thrown everywhere, burger boxes strewn about etc etc. Abhorrent behaviour. How can Singapore be the tourist destination of choice if our Singaporeans can't even have the simple courtesy to clean up after themselves? How hard is it to pick up your own coke can? :O Also when 8000+ people leave a certain venue at the same time, it's perfectly NATURAL to have long queues on the road. Some dumb people just refuse to acknowledge that fact and queue up -- they try to cut lanes forcefully and horn unnecessarily. Reflects well upon us eh?

Other than that, last night was very very enjoyable (thanks Eddy!). I'll end off with a nice picture of both Anna and Maria posing together for a picture. Ciaos!

economics in RJC explained!

2006-10-16T15:55:00.000+08:00

the central problem of economics is that there are scarce resources, yet people have unlimited wants. today i was enlightened when i entered the library's chairs and cushions section.. i saw a real life example of this central problem.

now, since space in the library is scarce, and that users of the library have unlimited wants for space in the library (be it to move about, to sleep, to study or to make out), we see a situation clearly highlighted by economics in the picture below.

from the picture, it is evident that david (who is a big boy) needs a big seat to ensure that he gains full satisfaction from sitting down. however, due to the problem of scarcity, supply of big spaces is limited and hence he needs to sit on a small chair. furthermore, he is doing math and there is just not enough space -- forcing him to use a small table and putting his file and calculator somewhere else.

now, is this situation productively efficient? from the society's point of view, all the people in rjc are not mugging as much as they can with the lowest cost incurred, which makes this situation productively inefficient. in david's point of view, he is mugging at a point where there are high costs incurred -- mismanagement of inventory (his calculator, TYS etc.), hassles, unsteady chair, back pains -- which also makes him productively inefficient. furthermore, this situation is not allocatively efficient as big chairs should go to people with big butts. (just kidding david!!!)

however, it seems that david is fully enjoying his consumption of this service provided by the RJC library as seen from his huge grin in the picture. this can be explained due to the existence of market imperfections, such as positive externalities from the girls behind him or even the positive externality from the phototaker. all of these add up such that david's marginal total benefit (marginal benefit + marginal external benefit) allows him to enjoy more consumer surplus, making him smile widely whereas in a perfectly competitive market, he would not have a smile because PMB = PMC (P=MC theory).

in conclusion, i'm bored.

teamboat secrets unveiled

2006-08-13T14:48:00.000+08:00

finally, you guys will get to see how we get our CDEFs (sorry guanghao!! =D

ok i dunno which study camp this is already, but it's definitely an integer value between (0, 100). okok less math. anyway, it was a COMBINED study camp!! we officially celebrated guang's bday as well as had a normal study camp!

ok anyway, before this study camp, there was lots of INTENSIVE PREPARATION. lam and i were deliberating on what to get for guanghao.. we wanted to get him something SPECIAL! =D while it had to be special, it also had to be of some VALUE to guanghao.. he wouldn't want some coagulated mucus balls from us would he??! so i thought and i thought.. 'eh guang needs a new comp right? his sucks.. so.. why not build him a LAPTOP!?'

presenting...

teamboat's guide to building a laptop for your best friend (or worst friend cos u dun want to buy smth for him/her =D)

--------------------

step 1: collect materials
for this, you will need the following..
- a clip file that you hate/do not use

- a keyboard that you hate/do not use

- cardboard
- very strong glue

- markers

got everything? lets start work!

step 2: making the individual components of the laptop!
alright, now we have our stuff, we have to make our laptop cool, with keyboards + monitors and stuff!
- remove the file's metal thingies... wtf are they called?! (fun, because you get to smash the file up! =D)
- remove the keys that you need to use for the laptop (fun, because you get to smash the keyboard up! and for our case we removed HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUANGHAO!)

- cut the cardboard to fit the monitor screen and the keyboard!

with that, we can start work on our laptop!

step 3: the gluing/sticking process
now, we have to glue/stick everything in!
- arrange the keys in a nice order, and GLUE IT ALL IN (please make it look remotely like a keyboard =D)

- glue black paper over your cardboard (that's if you use a black file..)

- glue the cardboard in onto the file!
now the laptop looks more like a laptop, lets work on some final details!

step 4: the finishing touches
the finishing touches are REALLY FUN! =D
- using your markers, decide on which brand your laptop is gonna be

- using photoshop, make a nice picture for the display on the laptop's monitor!

ensure that the picture is something that your friend/hated enemy would like! for example, we put WoW pictures on it, as well as conversations with......nvm!! go figure it for yourself =D

now, the laptop is finally COMPLETE =DDDD

--------------------

ok i digressed. anyway, we went to his house at 10+ pm!! wtf!! so late cos he had tuition and he didn't inform us (YOU DIDN'T, BIATCH). anyway, we presented him his presents, and he was really touched.

we went out to eat at chomps as usual! and although we didn't get him a birthday cake, we got him......

CARROT CAKE!!!

k his face is really blurry but nvm. and he's 13 years old. i guess it reflects his mental age! =D

so we ate, and went back to his house. oh did i mention the SOCCER??? =DDD what? new goalposts? =D

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then we played risk and went to sleep.

yup that's our study camp right there =D

take away drinks

2006-08-09T00:48:00.000+08:00

well today i had a takeaway drink from the roti prata stall. it was ice milo and i was saving it so that i could drink smth after eating the roti prata so that the taste wouldn't stay in my mouth.

however, i realised that i could not put my drink down because it was the kind where its in a plastic bag and doesn't sit on flat surfaces well. so i had a dilemma. should i drink it up and then eat my roti prata properly with 2 hands, or should i hold it in 1 hand and eat my roti prata with only 1 hand???

i decided to eat the roti prata with 2 hands, so i desperately needed to find somewhere to put my drink! i tried bags, walls, heads, fingers, everything! cannot!! how now brown cow???

then, i had a brainwave.

before

after

cheers!

celebrating!

2006-08-04T22:40:00.000+08:00

the fast and the furious

2006-06-20T21:16:00.000+08:00

so i was planning to watch this new movie called "the fast and the furious: tokyo drift". it looked like a great movie to me, with all the fast cars and hot chicks, so i thought "hey, why not?"

being the resourceful me, i searched around for reviews on that movie. it got a 37% from rottentomatoes.com (and it might be plunging lower), and even imdb members (who rate crap movies really high) gave it a 5.0/10.0.

so, i was disappointed. i thought i shouldn't watch the movie after all its great reviews.

until i found this.

presenting to you...

The Fast And The Furious: Afghanistan Drift

secrets unveiled!

2006-06-14T15:03:00.000+08:00

i'm sure all of you have seen this nike advertisement, where ronaldinho is able to juggle the soccer ball and hit it continuously against the bar of the goalpost without even dropping it.

so i was wondering to myself: is it fake? it looks pretty damn impossible.

i thought and thought about how it could've been done. could it be a string? could it be camera tricks/editing? could it be they actually photoimposed ronaldinho's face on me while i was doing my ultimate secret training?

i searched far and wide for the correct answer, and i have finally found the secret to this advertisement.

so now i don't have to sue nike because i really thought they filmed my secret training and photoshopped ronaldinho's face on mine. spoil my image kthx.

GGXX

2006-05-31T01:02:00.000+08:00

ok this is quite amusing and disgusting.

so i was just playing my dota match happily, when i sensed a sudden movement through my peripheral vision. then, i felt something touch my hair, so i got quite paranoid. i raised my left hand and grabbed at that thing in my hair and flung it away.

ggxx.

the thing emitted this really BAD SMELL which is now in my hair. bencai says its me, but i assure you guys its not. i can't seem to remove it completely even though i took a shower after the incident. i think its a beetle. those faggot ones that fly into your room and sit there like a rock.

ugh it stinks.

i hope i didn't kill it though. hopefully the toss threw it out of the window... :/

on a side note, we beat sa 22-10 today. hi passerby!

ok goodbye i go bathe again.

back. dumbass insects.

review
----------

this play focuses on the lives of three groups of people, all of whom are searching for something better in their life. alicia wants to get away from her nagging mom, who she feels is intruding in her personal life, to a private apartment with her boyfriend raymond. liyana, who is an ambitious woman raising her nephew, wishes to upgrade from a hdb flat to a condominium. iris, who has strained relationships with both her husband and daughter, wishes to move to australia in sync with her husband's posting in australia, so as to get a chance to start anew. all these different stories intertwine, with alicia wanting to buy liyana's hdb flat, and liyana wanting to buy iris's condominium.

we do see a portrayal of modern society in these three groups of people. alicia represents the angsty teenager, who feels that her mom is an intrusive and good for nothing obstacle blocking her goals and pursuits. liyana represents the superficial, materialistic person in the society, constantly in pursuit of symbols of wealth and social standing. iris represents the stereotypical insecure mother, who has unknowingly dismantled her relationships with her husband and daughter, and is trying desperately to save the family.

yet, there is an opposing force to the wave of change, found in the likes of azfah (i don't know if i got his name right) and jacqueline. azfah, who is liyana's nephew, doesn't want the hdb flat to be sold as it belonged to his parents. jacqueline, who enjoys her popularity and 'cool' factor, does not want to shift to australia in fear of losing her built up friendship. again, they represent elements in society, azfah reflecting the teenager who aspires to make it as a big singer. jacqueline portrays the cool and happening girl, who goes for parties and has a wide social circle.

in the case of liyana and azfah, they represent the stereotypical situation between son and mother (in this case, aunt). the son aspires to be what he feels his talents lie in, whereas his mother believes in a much more "safer" route to success: by doing well for his examinations and getting a good degree. this conflict between these characters is amplified by their differing attitudes: liyana wants change (a better house) while azfah prefers constancy. iris, jacqueline and reuben's character (can't remember the name :X) reflects the superficial "family", where it is more 'each on your own'. again, the family has conflicting issues: the mom wants out to australia while the daughter wants to stay to preserve her fame and popularity.

the relentless quest for change in order to achieve something better results in the arrival of the evil agent 5, the property agent who cunningly manipulates these three families into selling away their properties. on one level, it might seem as a humourous take on property agents: that they are swindling and manipulative on the inside. on the other hand, agent 5 could be seen to embody their desire for change. alicia, who is in search of a place away from her naggy mother, falls under the spell cast by agent 5 and is influenced to buy the apartment because it is apparently very "private". liyana is convinced to buy the condominium from agent 5's scheme to let her view the condominium's facilities. iris falls under the spell that shows her the documentary of australia, which shows only the good sides of australia to sway her decision.

it must be noted that the people who opposed change were not affected by the spell. those who were followed every action agent 5 used, while azfah and jacqueline stand there aghast at the decisions made. perhaps it is a commentary that our wants, our desires subconsciously manifest into our demons that try to lull us into making THAT decision, and that we have to be guarded against it.

at the end of the play, everyone's environment has changed, but their situations remain largely the same. alicia is still being troubled by her mother, but this time over the baby. raymond still doesn't get enough sex from her, now due to her tired state. liyana now has a nice condominium with facilities, but is unable to use them because she has to work extra to cover the bills and is tired out from taking the bus home (she had to sell the car). iris still hasn't had a proper, decent conversation with her husband and daughter. perhaps this play is a cynical take on how change does not lead for the better, that even when one's surrounding changes for the better it does not necessarily mean one's situation turns for the better.

yet, the play ends with a glimmer of hope, with azfah finally becoming able to balance studies and his musical aspirations, as well as making new friends when he previously had none. perhaps change is not that bad after all, albeit only if one rides it instead of trying to force it to happen.

roland's guide to acing the ns checkup!

2006-04-28T19:34:00.000+08:00

ok to all you noobs out there, ns checkup is coming! and since i've done it today, i'll give you guys some tips to ace it! you don't want to look like a noob in front of all your future platoon mates, you want to look like a pro!

everyone ready? lets go!

station 1: pee check + blood check
okok so this station is the cool station. first you walk up to the guy, place your clipboard (it's this folder which has all ur station results on it) into the tray and he'll tell you (in his VERY monotone voice): "take a bottle. and a stick. the instructions are in the toilet"
so you walk into the toilet, wondering wtf is going on in this station. so basically you pee into the bottle and dip the strip in (i don't know why he calls that a STICK) and then you show it to the guy with the monotone voice. so i glanced around, and there were people trying very hard to AIM into the bottle before they started peeing. i'm like "haha noobs". but indeed, it was very tricky. well at least it was for me, because the bottle entrance was too small!
----------
roland's tips:
1) should one be not well-endowed, just shove it in and pee at will. the bottle doesn't leak.
2) should one be like me ^^, pee first, observe the trajectory of the pee, then shift the bottle to catch the pee.
3) never try to start peeing directly into your bottle. a poor guy got it all over his hands instead :D
----------
ok then after getting the pee sample just dip the strip (it looks like some pH checker or smth) into the bottle and show it to the guy with the monotone voice. then go for your blood test, which involves the poking of your index/third finger and then extraction of your blood through your arm. normal stuff. just don't start screaming, and you'll look like a pro!

station 2: hearing check
ok so this area, you're asked to enter this sound-proof box (just like the progamers. cool huh) and then you put on this earphone, which is connected to the tester's "gamepad". ok what he does is he has fun with his "gamepad", pressing buttons continuously to send sounds out to the earphone. when you hear a sound, you have to raise your the hand that's on the same side of the sound. ie right hand when you hear a sound in the right ear.
since the sounds come continuously, everyone raises and puts down their hand in quick succession, so you'll look like:

----------
roland's tips:
1) when raising your hand, make sure you raise it straight up, instead of raising it with your elbow at a 90 degree, so you don't look like a fortune kitten.
2) make sure you don't slouch, so you don't look like a fortune kitten.
3) smile to make it look like you're enjoying it.
----------

station 3: xray room
ooh this is the prelude to wenloong's favourite room. what happens is that people are sent in there in groups of 5 for an xray at the chest area. so once you enter the room, you're told to put your bags and belongings in a shelf and take off your clothes. so in the waiting room, everyone is half naked. woohoo. and when people enter/exit the waiting room, everyone in the lobby can see you. more woohoo ^^
----------
roland's tips:
1) do not scratch your back when someone is opening the door. the tuft of armpit hair showing is DISGUSTING.
----------
the xray later is normal, just follow instructions and you'll be fine!

station 4: dental check
just go in, lie down, open your mouth and don't scream. easy enough.

station 5: eye check
when you enter, you are asked to look at those cool pictures that cleverly disguise numbers, and then say the number out quickly. quite easy unless you have really bad eyesight/colourblindness. then the procedure becomes familiar again, you cover your right eye and read the ___th row and do it with the other eye bla bla bla. easy station.

station 6: the everything-else station
wenloong's paradise. :D nah jk. ok so you enter and you walk towards the registration counter, register and get a locker. then you strip to your pants and put everything in the locker and REMEMBER TO LOCK THE LOCKER UP. then you go for your ECG (i can't really remember..) thing where you lie down on this bed and this guy plants these suckers on you and monitors your heart rate. after what seems like an eternity, he plucks those suckers off you and it looks like you've been attacked by the giant octopus.
----------
roland's tips:
1) make sure you rub the areas where the suckers were, or you'll look like you have 4 nipples.
----------
after that, you go for your height and weight area, and after measuring it you get your blood pressure checked. easy peasy.
after that easy area, you go for the long-awaited 1 on 1 with the doctor! woohoo. get a number and wait to be called. it feels like sitting for oral examination. damn scary. hahahah. once you enter, you sit down. the doc just goes straight to the point after asking "do you have any past medical conditions". he'll tell you to "stand over there where the (printed) feet are", and then to "pull down your pants and underwear". then you're asked to "cover" and then "cough".
----------
roland's tips:
1) when you pull down your pants and underwear, make sure you don't hesitate. makes you look like a loser who's ashamed of himself.
2) when you pull down your pants and underwear, pull it down far enough for your family heirlooms to be seen. preferably around the knees. or he'll get annoyed lol.
3) when you're asked to cover, don't be a loser and cover your balls. he wants to see it dammit!
----------
after that close shave, you're free to leave the room! woohoo.

station 9: vocational test
i haven't taken this station so i can't comment. but apparently it tests waves, angles and some stupid questions.

----------
some general tips:
1) do your hair/doll up before going. there's a photoshoot.
2) do some weights before going. you're gonna be half naked half the time. if wenloong's there, then make sure you have a full lunch so you look like you're some fat piece of shit :P
3) you might want to practice the C&C (Cover&Cough) in front of the mirror. practice = confidence.
----------

now you guys should look like pros when doing the ns checkup!

updatey

2006-04-25T22:06:00.000+08:00

21/4/2006: RJC 13 - 7 SAJC

25/4/2006: RJC 95 - 6 SRJC (our score is unconfirmed, the referee lost count i think)

28/4/2006: RJC vs PJC @ PJC, 4.45pm, it'd be good if there was support!

5/5/2006: RJC vs JJC @ RI, 4.45pm, date is tentative

10/5/2006: semifinals

it's really scary how the season progresses so quickly. there's just 2 more matches to the semis (assuming we win those matches) and then after the semis its the finals. so assuming all wins, we've got 3 more games to prepare ourselves for the finals. thats a really scary prospect lol. i still can't believe that in 4 matches time (assuming ceteris paribus, nothing changes since the past assumption), it'll be the end of my school rugby career. urgh. and then full time mugging will kick in. sigh.

anyway, yesterday went to watch soccer. we played against mjc. its really funny, because rj was down 5-1 before the lightning got worse and the referee had to call the players off to wait out the lightning. then after like half an hour of waiting, the lightning did not subside, so the match was called off!! hahahaha. what's worse for the mjc people is that they had only 3 minutes of normal time left!! wahahaha. so the match is postponed to a later date and the score restarts from 0-0 lol!! hope the soccer guys can do better and beat mjc at the replay! woot. JIAYOU :D

on a side note. i'm so hot that my temperature is 38.6°. :D

cynicism

2006-04-20T20:51:00.000+08:00

it appears that whoever asks us who we're playing, and that when we reply sajc, the common reply is "gg. can win or not? lol"

i mean, what's with this cynicism nowadays? has being a cynic become the 'in' thing to do? is it that hard to say "hey guys, good luck" instead of "haha sure lose wan la u guys"? that little gesture, that small show of support even though the match is far off does mean a lot to us.

i don't know. all i know is that to those cynics out there: fuck off. we don't want to see you at our matches.

to the rest: tomorrow 1645 @ RJC. rjc vs sajc. come down you guys :)

first match

2006-04-08T23:31:00.000+08:00

wahbiang today i got malu-ed like mad.

stupid dee! make my HEAD waiter roland. now ppl think i give head. i repeat i'm NOT gay ok!

so i got alot of photos taken of me and my head waiter sign. sigh this is not good. even ms lye lah! wtfs

okok so vips came in, and the hardworking staff of waiters (cheems, nazi and me) went to serve them! it was alrite at first lah, not many ppl. then suddenly the CROWD rushed in. and we're like "omg ggxxyyzz i thought we're supposed to serve food when ONLY the vips are there". then i made my rounds and got laughed at la. wtf. kns ahhaha

aiya buaytahan dowan to talk about it. even matin has my picture la. carrying a pineapple. and i almost dropped that pineapple a few times :O

good part abt the job was that i, being the CHIEF waiter (not head, bitches), was delegated the VERY IMPORTANT task of sampling all the food beforehand to ensure its freshness and that it was not laced with drugs/poison. mm mmm!! (the fruit tarts were uber gd btw)

aiya now i know i'm not cut out to be a waiter ahah.

oh and in the morning, i went for ORA walkajogathon slightly late. being the last few to register and collect my t-shirt, to my dismay there was only size "s" left!! ggxxyyzz!! so i got a size "s" instead of the size "l" which my muscular frame deserves xD. so i had to walk around in a tight t shirt that constricted my breathing. so paiseh la! i don't like showing off my hot bod in front of so many ppl :P then the ppl walking in the opposite direction towards rj kept staring at me, i duno why also. probably ogling and admiring, hah!

no pictures (thankfully) :P

the wonders of soccer

2006-03-31T22:16:00.000+08:00

soccer is such a wonderful sport. due to the fact that there are 23 men with hot bods (11 + 11 + referee = 23!) chasing the ball, gay tendencies do tend to show both on and off the pitch.

here's an example of a player expressing his gay love OFF the pitch..

i love you. muacks

and here are another examples of players expressing their gay love ON the pitch..

you turn me on so much, terry!

enough of the subtlety, let's get it on!

ronaldo giving head to lehmann. or ronaldo headed the wrong balls! maybe that's why that fat piece of shit striker can't score goals now...

yet, soccer is not all about the gays. there's a whole myriad of other emotions involved in a game of soccer, one of the main ones being anger.

taste my fart, biatch!

take that up yo ass, traitor!

loyalty ftw.

credit goes to wene for sending some of those photos to me! there you go happy now? so wuliao O_O

woohoo!

2006-03-23T13:29:00.000+08:00

common tests are (unofficially, but heck) over!! pc on friday but who gives a shit about pc anyway. not as if can study for pc. wahahah.

anyway, new blog! the chronicles of ryan tan yong ding, renown for his huge nose, cone-like face, dashing good looks that appeal to the aunties that are 40 and above! whoever reads this, do not say these in front of him. or he'll da ni (attack you lar duh) :D:D:D

so here it is, the long awaited dingster blog!

oh and the 1000th visitor will get 1 million neopoints, courtesy of ryan!

to quote just's mom: "wow, who's that guy in white standing next to ilman (it was ryan, by the way. but come to think of it i was in white too.. and was next to ilman.. hmmm.... XD)? quite good looking sia!"

heehee.

woman warrior

2006-03-21T21:46:00.000+08:00

maxine hong kingston was right.

someone tried to rob my grandma (mom's side) today. she's 70+, and was returning home (in malaysia) from buying groceries when she saw this guy standing outside another house's gates and pushing it. thinking that the guy was just another passerby who got a wrong house, she ignored him and walked towards her gate. then ALL OF A SUDDEN. *drumroll* the man snatched her necklace from behind. warrior instincts kicked in and she snatched it from the front. she won the struggle somehow, and the necklace broke at the point at the back of her neck and she threw it into the house, so that the snatch thief couldn't get it.

but there's MORE! :)

the thief then shoved her, and she fell onto the ground. using her quick wit, she landed on the side where her small purse was on to protect her purse. the man tried to get her purse, and her years of watching kungfu movies on channel 8/u from malaysia kicked in (pun intended). she kicked out at the guy and shouted "THIEF! THIEF!"

and then the thief ran off. :D

true story. /salute to my grandma. lol =D

and maxine hong kingston embodied the female empowerment through words. my grandma. lol future kungfu star. female empowerment literally. hahahh.

but lit was over today anyhow, now for history tmrw. and this dreaded CT1 is over. CHEERS :) :) :)

i'm a genius

2006-03-16T21:00:00.000+08:00

again, i exhibit the qualities that rjc wishes to inculcate into us.

this time, it was at michelle's party yesterday! :D oh before i continue, HAPPY BDAY MICHELLE!!

so at the party denise was pulling my pants away from me. i duno why. probably too hot she wants to see the monster hidden within =D. so while pulling she accidentally stepped on my slippers while i was walking backwards. GGXX. my slipper strap tore off. :( :( :(

(stupid dee! anyway guanghao has a photo of that and he'll post about the party soon, i hope)

anyway, i tried to repair it by taping the broken ends together with SCOTCH TAPE. it worked for 5 minutes or so, then it came off again. grr. then i tried it again, this time with 5 layers of scotch tape. it didn't work again. i'm like.. "hmm, how can i get around this??"

i thought and i thought and i thought... (the thinker)

...until i came up with a totally original solution! (the pioneer)

and it worked!!!

alas, my poor toe hair.. :( i'll miss you guys!

a request!!

2006-03-13T11:24:00.000+08:00

roland's amazing asscapades!

2006-03-04T20:56:00.000+08:00

lets start off where it ALL STARTED!

friday was a unique pe lesson. i prefer using the word unique to weird. ok so we played waterpolo. on land. in the indoor gym. yes yes i can hear u ppl going wtf now. hahhaa =D ok basically to "swim" around we gotta crawl. upside down. hmm i guess that doesn't really depict it properly. uhh. lets just say ur stomach must ALWAYS face the sky, and your 4 limbs prop body up and propel urselves forward. imagine spiderman climbing with his limbs in the opposite direction. ya it's WEIRD but we did it anyways. hahah =D

ok so being the excellent and enthusiastic student i am, i decided to CHIONG AHHH!!!! so i just dragged my ass along the floor as fast as i could because lifting it up = much slower.

result: abrasions on my ass. and the pe teachers being happy that their indoor gym floor was wiped clean. grr ):

today! hahah after training we trooped down to nyjc to play in this friendly 7s rugby tournament! wore the oh so SEXY jersey for the tournament!! hahah :O ok during one match i made a tackle. and landed on my ass. hard. (the field didn't help because it was bloody barren and scorched GRRRR.)

result: abrasions + bruise on my ass. like ouch? i had trouble sleeping last night already lah gimme more trouble T_T

anyway, our jerseys rocked! last time when we broke through, people could still pull our flappy ~~penises~~jerseys! now they can only pull our pants! woot they help me flash ftw :D

oh, each of our arms now have a beautiful 10_10_10_10_10_10_10_10_10_10_10. sun was BLOOOODY SCORCHING. T_T

anyway we won all our matches. haha

rugby jerseys!

2006-03-01T20:16:00.000+08:00

okok our rugby jerseys have arrived. i shoved it into my bag and then only tried it on just now when i reached home after econs tuition.

WTF

ok today right, everyone was complaining that the jersey was too small etc etc la. and i'm like aiya i'm quite small also (but not in THAT area ^^) so i should fit in quite nice.

i was WRONG.

u know, i thought they said "skin-tight" jerseys.

today what we got were probably "organ-tight" jerseys or smth lidat. DAAAAMN TIGHT.

now i feel like a gay that walks down orchard road.

sigh.

ooooooooooasis!

2006-02-24T20:57:00.000+08:00

okae okae finally have time to update. wahahah.

YESTERDAY!!! OASIS CONCERT!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

WONDERWALL." everyone just went WHOAAAA!!!! and got high and started jumping and screaming. and DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER. "AND SOOOO SALLY CAN WAIT" was like echoed by everyone la. and CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA has gotta be the best song EVARRRR. "SOMEDAY YOU WILL FIND MEEEEEEEE CAUGHT BENEATH THE LANDSLIDEEEEE"

but i was kinda disappointed! where's LET THERE BE LOVE~~~!! where's STOP CRYING YOUR HEART OUT!!! where's KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE!! urghhh. dammit. but i guess i can't expect them to sing ALL their songs aha..

prelude to the manu (trashing) liverpool match!!!

2006-02-18T19:53:00.000+08:00

A couple in the middle of a messy divorce case find themselves in court battling over custody of little Johnny, their only child. In order to make a fair decision over the boys future, the Judge takes Johnny into his private chambers so that he can find out which of the parents the boy would prefer to live with.

"Well, Johnny" says the Judge, "Would you like to live with your Mother?"

"No" replied Johnny, "she hits me all the time"

"Well then," the Judge continues, "Would you like to live your your Father?"

"No" replied Johnny again, "He hits me all the time too!"

The Judge looks exasperated and says to the boy "Well Johnny, who would you like to live with?"

"I'd like to live at Anfield with Liverpool FC " the boy replied quickly.

"Why on earth would you want to live with Liverpool?" replied the now extremely puzzled Judge.

to botak, or not to botak

2006-02-07T21:02:00.000+08:00

that is the question.

ok ytd i got dared by my classmates to shave botak! initial dare was $30, then it got upped to $40, then it got upped to $50, and now shibani~~gger~~ (:P:P) upped it up to $60!

i'm in a dilemma now. should i shave? or should i not shave.

PROS:
- $60 (or $30 if i split with guanghao)!
- save money on haircuts!
- save money on shampoo!
- save money on wax!
- no more irritating "roland please go get a haircut" from teachers!

CONS:
- no more hair! :(
- probably will take 5-6 months before hair grows back. then i'll have to cut it because it'll be damn messy and then wait 1 more mth before it goes back to the norm
- i MIGHT look retarded botak (i hope not)
- laughing stock?
- reputation T_T

so anyway i was discussing this with guanghao. if he shaves too, we'll split the money 50-50. actually for me it's not so much the money la. if i SOLO shave i'll be damn ashamed la. but if got others shave with me it's fine! hehehh. then somemore if guanghao shaves we'll be called teambald. haha :D

so today after training i came home and played around with photoshop, trying to find out how i look botak.

daniel lam's hair

jeremy's hair

how? should i? :D

lalala

2006-02-05T22:37:00.000+08:00

this is probably post number 1390281309213 titled "lalala" because i don't know what title to put due to the randomness of this entry.

trng ytd! was our second time training on the RJ field lol! it's sooo much better compared to the RI field. grr. so anw it was damn funny!! someone kicked the ball past everyone and me being the sweeper chased it la. then i run so fast towards the ball and then i suddenly realised. SHIT!!!! i'm so tall i'll hit the crossbar. so i slid down below the crossbar with such dexterity and ended up tangled in the soccer net WAHAHAHA. damn funny.

ok then after trng i went to cherylhoanqi's house for a CLASS PARTY (and missed chingay because of it. see i love the class soooooo much ^^)! although it wasn't really a class party because there was only abel, cheryl, eddy, jon, shiyun, yam, yam, yam, yam, yam, yam, yam and zan there. quite bad attendance hahaa. ok so we just wuliaoed around. teasing yam about his lack of foresight. for real. u could say that yam captured all the attention la! at least he bottled up his anger :P hahahaha if u dun get it don't try because it's an inside joke. :D:D:D:D

ok fine to cut the long story short, we just ate and talked and ate and talked la. a little snippet of the conversation: "yam ur fat" "fuck u eddy" "screw you at least i have a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _". hahahah :D highlight must be when cheryl's mom came out bearing angpaos. hoho everyones eyes lit up mann :D then we were joined by kat and then sean and nick and floydfajoo and then we LAO YU SHENGGGGG. lao ah lao ah so fun :D:D:D then we watched deuce bigalow european gigolo. my 2nd time watching! so funny wahaha. and the eva girl is as hot as ever! woot!

o yah i came up with QING"boon"GAY. quite smart rite hoho stupid leslie.

today was rather eventless! played HOTTY and went ZGing hoho. long time no WOW. and i'm a shen healer la watahell. but nth good dropped for him so T_T then i spent the rest of the day eating / renaming music / doing essays.

ok footmen frenzy calls byebye

navy invitational 10-a-side!

2006-01-15T12:45:00.000+08:00

yesterday was the navy 10s tournament. the 2 raffles teams that were sent clinched 2nd and 3rd!!! how pro is that lol!!

so anyway i had to wake up at like 630 to get to school by 715. WADAHELL. the things i do for rugby mann :D then in the end ARJUN was late by 25 mins. WADAHELLLLLLL. that's like 25 mins of slp -.-"

i was in team x, wearing an oversized jersey which made me look like a teddy bear. grrrr. den we wtfpwn every other team except for team y, who we met in the semis!! argh it's like teamkill lah. so suay must meet each other in semis. grrrr. that's why i got 3rd baaaaasket.

then the team y went on to the finals to fight saints. wah tough fight sia. after 2 extra times both sides didn't score. then penalty kicks, like pangsai lidat. lost kicks in sudden death. :( NOT FAIR RE PLZ? so sian 2nd and 3rd loh. hahaha.

the bad thing abt the tourney is that there were quite a few injuries. :( nazi and thad split their ears. ryan pulled his hamstring again (serves u right la nosy bastard) and just fractured his cheekbone (OUCH!!!). take care and get well soon brudders!!

aft that went don's house. even more sian. manu lost 3-1. wadahell laaaaa. ok fine laugh at me you stupid liverpoo and arse-anal fans. laugh while u still can.. grr. the food was good though, laksa + stingray + chicken wings + beef + apple crumble (when ipod stops selling. hurhur) + cocktail can NEVER go wrong.

anyway..

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY DON!!!

may the monkey goddess bless you with extraordinary skills with women. or female apes. whatever.

oh that apple crumble cannot-be-worse-than-that-joke reminds me of my need to ice my eyes! harhar ok bad joke. ya i've got nice cuts just above and to the side of my right eye. and a bruise below that same eye. ouch ya? it's painful (inside joke :D)

an unglam bus ride home

2006-01-11T21:31:00.000+08:00

okaeee so yesterday was the FIRST EVER Z'Oinks! non-orientation outing!! exciting rite. hehehhh. hmm yup so the Z'Oinklets gave me a PINKY PIGGY, a mini PINKY PIGGY, and a red book full of msges from them!! =) <3<3<3 you guys (andgirls)!!! so we watched derailed and i guessed the whole plot la. either the movie sucks. or i'm a genius. up to you to choose!!! :D

anyway the highlight of the day (or night) was when i was going back home!! i walked to the busstop and saw ppl staring at me la. watahell.

:: SCENARIO - "OMG! That's DAMN GAY" ::

[ME walks towards busstop]
[GUY stares at me and then at the pig and then back at me and then back at the pig]
GUY: OMG!
ME: ???
GUY: that guy with the pig is so cute <3<3
ME: OMG! That's DAMN GAY

okae maybe that wasn't what happened but i hope it was. really!

ya then i boarded the bus and then it was full so bo bian must stand. then the ppl shot me angry glares cos the pig was blocking the way. or maybe cos i was cuter than them. i duno la.

time to go hug my pig! XD

and so, orientation has ended

2006-01-07T11:50:00.000+08:00

it's been a wonderful experience

it's pretty hard to express what i want to say in words, and there's just too much to recap

so i'd like to say a big thank you to the entire O-Team for making this experience possible
to my co-ogls glen and max, for making working with you guys such an enjoyable experience
to the og, for participating so enthusiastically even on the first day
to the new friends i've made, who've provided me great company

i'll always remember the numerous meetings in school to prepare for orientation
the mind-wrecking period where we had to think up non-cliché icebreakers, station games and war games
the dance practices, where we just practiced dance after dance and danced our hearts out
the ogl sentosa outing
my og Z'Oinks!, full of diverse personalities
how their bond grew stronger day after day, and the sense of accomplishment i felt from that
the numerous unglam photos and videos taken of ME
all the dances up on stage
all the fun and laughter
the way max and her mom went out of the way to help me when my phone got stolen
the new friends that i've made
the great company that i had

thanks everyone for making this possible

goodbye 2005

2006-01-01T10:51:00.000+08:00

wet shoes, plastic bags and hands

2005-12-24T16:10:00.000+08:00

hilarious.

me leslie and matthew went home in the rain. so we took mrt to newton and then had to cross a path to get to our bus stop. then SUAY lah. the path was blocked by a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong puddle of water. so we, being thinkers leaders and pioneers (hoho, school vision :D:D:D), used different methods to cross the puddle.

thinker: leslie

leslie used his "brains" (omg he has? :O) and took out 2 plastic bags and COVERED HIS SHOES!!! wahahhaha DAMN FUNNY! in the end his shoes were not wet (i think 1 got slightly wet? duno!!!)

creativity/thinking: 9/10
bravery: -1/10
end result: very slightly wet shoes, and litter on the ground

someone say wuss?

leader: me!!!

ok i was the leader so i WENT FIRST (got balls sia :D:D). so i used the old, but EFFECTIVE, method of tiptoeing across. unfortunately, the brave me's method DIDN'T WORK!!! GRrr... so now i have WET SHOES. it didn't work because the road damn CUNNING!!!

creativity/thinking: 5/10
bravery: 100/10
end result: very wet shoes, and feeling like a jackass

imba?

pioneer: matthew

matthew was the pioneer!!! after watching me (wet my shoes) and leslie (take arduously long to cross 5 metres of water), matthew decided to try something NEW!!! so he waited for all the pedastrians to walk across that stretch first, made sure it was clear, and then HANDSTOOD (or is it HANDSTAND-ed?!??) across the puddle!!! OMG FRICKING FUNNY!!! HAHAHAHAa i was laughing like shit so i didn't get any pics lol.

creativity/thinking: 10/10
bravery: 10/10
end result: dry shoes, but stares from the people at the MRT station

i was wondering what would happen if he lost balance and fell into the puddle? lol

next time i shall tell my children to join gymnastics. :D

or just tell them to take off their shoes and socks before walking across a puddle...

off i gooooo

WTF MAN GET LOST.

WAHHH GOT FIGHT SIA. see who take more prawns. wahahaha. we should do the prawn wars thing again la. to the ~~stupid~~unenlightened people, we will see who have more prawn shells on our plate aft the whole thing. last time we went up to 4 plates la. but don had to cheat. GRRRRR STUPID AHMENG.

2005-11-08T21:35:00.000+08:00

cho'gall is undergoing maintenance. grr. so i shall UPDATE! who says this blog is dead MWAHAHAHA. =D

hokay hokay. recaaaaap.

erm friday was threesome! took a ~~bus~~gryphon to clementi to meet lam for "GOSU SUGAR CANE". it was not bad lar. then we took the ~~MRT~~deeprun tram to rj for THREESOME! three plays for 7 ~~bucks~~silver coins. 2 ~~bucks~~silver coins and 33 ~~cents~~bronze pieces for each play! not bad deal righttt =p so anyways. i enjoyed all the plays!! special mention goes to the second play which was SUPER HILARIOUS. ok i could predict like half of the one-liners as they came along, but still it was super funny!! esp with the bimbotic character! i can't rmb her name :O saw YIPENG going to threesome too!! and his girlfriend. aft that suppered and ~~took bus~~hearthstoned home.

ok then on saturday i had to abandon paintball (grr) to go back to msia for a dinner! but it was quite good! cos the food is quite gd. 10course sia. anyway, i don't need to eat much, because my spirit is damn high and my regen is super fast. oh and i had ABSINTH. it's 70% alcohol, and it tastes like cough syrup. yucks. like if i'm sick i'll just get a priest to cast "cure disease" on me, and not drink some cough syrup. eew. hearthstone was just used, so i had to wait for 1hour before i reached home. on sunday.

kk i dun think there's anything else to update on! i'm logging now cya.

Helllo

2005-10-27T08:38:00.000+08:00

Since the server on WOW is full and im queueing up to get in, i shall blog abit!

Ya abit.

an update

2005-10-25T20:19:00.000+08:00

ok this has been stagnant for a long ~~wow~~while because teamboat has been owning it up on wow! =D so today, due to server maintenance, i'm gonna have an UPDATE! =D ok so these few days have been hectec. tonnes of ~~wow~~pw man. ok i just came back from training. fricking tired. ran like 3 rounds around rj and then 3.3km in sprints/strides. and that was like after gym. like ~~wow~~wadahell so damn tiring =D

anyway special mention goes to watching like 30+ mins of 12 storeys for gp on monday. got me thinking for a~~wow~~while, like how we're secluded/protected and unexposed to such.. heartlandish behaviour. it was just like the feeling i had during cip @ swiss cottage, how i was so blessed to have a nice family with stable income and all. i can even play wow! then, shortly after the film (or cip, for that matter), "reality" strikes home and we go back to our "unsatisfactory" lifestyles, that thought/memory shoved into the dust-filled corners of our brains.

kinda sad, isn't it?

edit: finished washing it. gotta say that it has changed my impression on home-based films! it wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be =D

on a side note, teamboat is gonna own in orientation'06. to those who didn't make it, cheer up it isn't the end of the world and there are many more opportunities. hehe all go down there and watch lam dance! =D i think he's getting the hang of it, cos he can type /dance in wow. heheh.

ok dinner calls. time to end this warped and random entry.

2005-10-21T22:52:00.000+08:00

whoa? nah.

omg? nah.

WOW? yup.

to those who i haven't wished good luck and are actually taking the time to read this (even though you should be studying for your promos, you lazy arse!): good luck!

to those who are feeling mega stressed out and are dying: take it easy, being stressed just makes the promos worse. chill out and you'll do fine. remember, the criteria (for rj) is only 2 A level passes and 2 AO level passes! (hint: sarcasm)

to those who have screwed up their first few papers (like i have, GP and lit): work hard! don't let this setback screw your whole promos up.

to those who can't wait for this to be over: it's only 4 more days. ok 3 for the non-econs people. take solace in that.

lets pull through it together guys!

(as you can see i am very bored from studying history lalala)

promos!

2005-09-28T19:39:00.000+08:00

alright goodluck to anyone who needs it for promos. especially those who haven't been full-time mugging and playing dota! *coughcough*

cheer up! at least it's only 8 more days of torture (for us econs students) =)

the assuming song

2005-09-26T19:59:00.000+08:00

i just realised i forgot to post this for like 3 weeks. how silly of me.

there was an old farmer who lived on a rock,
he sat in the meadow just shaking his --

fist at some boys who were down by the creek,
their feet in the water their hands on their --

marbles and playthings and at half past four,
there came a young lady she looked like a --

pretty young creature she sat on the grass,
she pulled up her dress and she showed them her --

ruffles and laces and her white fluffy duck,
she said she was learning a new way to --

bring up her children so they would not spit,
while they boys in the barnyard were shoveling --

refuse and litter from yesterday's hunt,
while the girl in the meadow was rubbing her --

eyes at the fellow down by the dock,
he looked like a man with a sizeable --

home in the country with a big fence out front,
if he asked her politely she'd show him her --

little pet dog who was subject to fits,
and maybe she'd let him grab hold of her --

small tender hands with a movement so quick,
and then she'd bend over and suck on his --

candy so tasty made of butterscotch,
and then he spread whipped cream all over her --

cookies that she had let out on the shelf,
if you think this is dirty you can go *toot* yourself

ok i guess the effect isn't there if it's words only. =/ get the song then =p it's mighty hilarious.

2005-09-24T10:45:00.000+08:00

k i just finished watching lost. episodes 1-25. =D

now i can finally concentrate on mugging hard for promos and i will TRASH EVERYONE!!! yeah!

2) Song: Sir Psycho Sexy by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Can you deduce why from the name already? Movie: American Pie. Another duh.
3) Butler at the Playboy Mansion
4) Si Mi Lan Jiao! (now everyone knows what that means, but to the two of us (and hazmi, that has exceptionally special significance)

6) A horse. Wonder why?
7) How long does it bloody take you to style your hair in the morning? It honestly looks fricking complicated. While we're on the matter, how the hell does your hair look like unstyled?
8) I'm seriously grateful that you were around for me during that particularly trying time in my life. (Cue the soppy music)
9) When you lay on the ground at Wei's house pleasuring yourself. A more quintessentially "you" moment cannot honestly be remembered. We even took a picture!

1) you lick paper boobs!

9) hmm msn convos. esp around may-ish. (: (:

from eddy:

1) Roland Chua Hung. I think your passes in rugby are really good.
2) Song: Stacie's Mom. Primarily because of the HORRIBLE thing you said about w*nking to the beat of the song. Movie: American Pie, cos I can seriously imagine you acting in it.
3) world-class pro-gamer
4) Damien rice - the blower's DOTA
5) In the com lab, when you introduced yourself as a rugger, I feared the worst, cos of erm..horror stories I heard about ruggers. Yar. So I was pretty intimidated in the com lab. Plus ur bigger-sized than me. So yar.
6) snake. Cos you always refer to your member as a snake. PLUS that horrible snake joke.
7) Were you the lamest guy in 1e during the first three months before the arrival of the KING?
8) I think you look better than your brother. Seriously. Dun ask me why I think so.

8) have confidence in your ability. Have someone to lean on whenever you're down. The wall's too cold, I think I'm hotter. =P but yea, have faith in us pleaseeeeeeeeeee.

with the end of the rugby league (which we got 2nd in, but failed to reach the finals in the CUP competition), and world cyber games (which ggGFAT sadly only got 3rd in =/), it's time to hit the books! ahh promos are in like 2 weeks and 2 days! jiayou ppls! go mug =)

ok. i shall be HONEST. i'm aiming for AABB for promos. with a GP A. it's always good to set high aims! =D cos if u fall, you'll fall higher than if you fall after setting low aims. LOGIC YES? =D

math: A. hopefully there shouldn't be any problem with this subject if i practice constantly and keep myself refreshed with formulae, especially trigo.

lit: A. i'm putting lots of effort into frost (but i'm studying only the poems that i like, not the so-called IMPORTANT POEMS hahaha =D) and measure for measure. hopefully with a good pc paper i can get the A.

hist: B. my results have always been stuck at B and hopefully this time i'll get a high B. gotta start mugging it soon, it's a very loaded subject =(

econs: B. it's gonna be hard, looking at the D from my common tests lol. i guess i have to buck up alot moreeee.

well. those are my aims. i stress, AIMS. don't call me a closet mugger or anything, i haven't done much. ahh i hope 2 weeks is just enough =)

=)

2005-09-04T11:32:00.000+08:00

ok today i'm a happy boy. =D

backtracking.

thursday: went to mrs. chia's house. the interior is designed quite well i must say. gives a very minimalistic, yet spacious look to the house. ate pizza/sushi/fried chicken there. mm mmm! =D don't ask why the first thing i talk about is food. don't. anyway, we had lots of fun watching bride & prejudice and other stuff like boiling point on mtv. ahhaha. =D whoa aishwarya rai is damn hottttt. and so are her sisters in the movie. all so pretty! indian bride here i come lol. jkjkjk =D anyway, retarded pics are up on the 1e blog, alps' blog and zan's blog.

friday: nothing much. stoned the day away and then went for tuition. didn't get much studying done. =(

saturday: highlight of the week!!! ok we played vs SRC and we won 8-5!! it was a really hard fought match. ahaha and i didn't screwup like i did the previous match. that match my passes were all perfect. ok la just kidding but it was relatively good. ahahah. anyway, it could've been like 20+-5 win to us, but the kicking spirit was not with just that day!! poor just. ahh ahh they were all off by like 0.05 degrees lol. watched trinations until like 1am. woohoo allblacks dominated like the first 30 mins but then the wallabies showed real determination (like we did after conceding the first try to src =P) to comeback to just 20-19!!! then the allblacks pulled ahead again. i'd say the MOM goes to ritchie mccaw. he's seriously damn shen. <3

so yupp. that caps up everything. i'm gonna be a good boy and go ~~play warcraft~~ study now. byebye. =DDD

so saddd

2005-09-01T09:26:00.000+08:00

i'm very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very sad because the ri field, stadium steps and hall are going to be closed down and changed. oh and perhaps the canteen too or so i heard? =( that was probably where i spent 3/4 of my ri time in, all the trainings, eatings, and ~~stripping~~ fun.

the ri hall

the ri field

the stadium steps

where we have activities like...

sitting

and other too-explicit-to-post-on-a-public-forum acts.

ahh i'm so gonna miss those!!! =(

ok anyway, it's gonna be TEACHER'S DAY VISIT to mrs. chia's house~! whee it's gonna be fun looking at her house lol. i think. i hope. training after that at ofs. the feeling will never be the same anymore =(

it's been a long while since i've lain down on the ri field, staring at the sky, watching the world go by.

bored

2005-08-28T17:58:00.000+08:00

i'm bored so here i am, blogging about random stuff that goes through my head =D

ok first. hist tutorial test tomorrow. or rather, timed assessment. it's quite ironic that people keep on asking me on what to study when i don't even know the question, or even the focus of the question! hahaha =D i'm kinda dead for it i guess lol.

mhm. long week next week. tuesday is an off day for me too because of inter-schools dota. so yay. and tuesday will be a very eventful day because it's the last ever training at ri before they demolish the hall/field. ahh ahh memories~~

so with tuesday as an off day, wednesday as teacher's day celebration, thursday as teacher's day (and we're visiting our CT btw, it's gonna be quite fun) and friday as a school holiday, i pretty much have a 13 day septemeber holiday. ahahahaha =D but then of course, the time will be devoted to studying. =D

someone wake me up please.

i can't believe that promos are just around the corner. like. in 33(?) days we'll be taking GP. and then it'll just blow over in like 2 weeks? i dunno i haven't exactly mugged the promo timetables hahaha. it's like i don't want it to come, yet i want it to hurry up so that i can have fun faster. if you get my drift =D

then again, i wish there weren't timed tests that determine your fate. i think the proper way to go is through continual assessment. because hey, you gotta admit, it's not a good way of judging how much a person has learnt. look at PSLE for example. and the O's. one slip-up and your future is ruined. well that's not the truth for some special cases, but it's generally true as far as i know.

but then, then again, continual assessment would be really stressful. like every test counts and there's tonnes of pressure to do well for every test. maybe this will make school more un-fun? i dunno.

ahh. steamboat calls. byebye =D

school -.-

2005-08-24T20:01:00.000+08:00

warning: rant.

disclaimer: this rant is strictly my opinion, and should not be taken as an attack at the organisation at hand, nor the people running the organisation.

ready? get set? go.

ok remember how the school always encourages healthy living? keeping fit? wow how do they think they can help to achieve that when you lock up the school gym and make it unaccessible for the students in rj?? to use the gym now, there must be permission from the teacher in order for the teacher to help unlock it. stupid? well there's more. it's not any other teacher, it's your teacher in charge. now that's dumb, isn't it? so what happens if your teacher in charge is absent? you can't use the gym? what kind of absurd logic is that? why must the weights room be locked? wow i'm so gonna steal all the weights in there and carry it singlehandedly home.

i understand their frustrations at the gym weights not being kept back properly, and the plain refusal by students to sign in. but what's the point of locking the gym up? it's a lose-lose situation: the students aren't able to keep fit, and the school's expectation of students keeping fit by themselves is unfulfillable. great work there. there's so much emphasis on the school treating us like adults. yet if there's so little trust in the students, what kind of treatment is that? it's so hypocritical. aren't we all 17 year olds? can't there be trust in the students? i do my little part by keeping back the weights that i use. isn't locking up the gym unfair? what about the many others who also keep back the weights? what do we do if our teacher is absent? be denied of our gym sessions? plain stupid, i swear.

so what if people do not sign in. accountability reasons i guess? but what's there to account for when no one will steal weights? you won't be seeing people lugging a bag across their shoulders while carrying a few dumbbells in their arms. it's just plain stupid.

oh and on another note. attire.

ok so the school states that attire should be worn properly at all times, there's a need to be neat and tidy. so does this mean that guy's hair can't be slightly long at the back? what's wrong with that. as long as it's tidy, it's ok isn't it? the inherent irony is that the idea of being neat and tidy is to portray a good image of the school. so how does really long skirts that look like they are in no man's land (or in this case, woman's) fit into the idea of portraying a good image? the thing they aren't getting is that the portrayal of the school is judged by society's viewpoints. so if something looks hideous but neat, it still does not go well in the eyes of the general public. the same goes with hair. so what if a guy's hair at the back is longer than the collar level? as long as it's presentable/neat and not really bushy and all, doesn't it still work out eventually since it's accepted in our society?

another pertinent issue is the ankle socks issue. ok this applies more to ri, but who cares. ever seen people wear high socks which, after much walking/running, eventually crumple down into a mess just above the ankle? wow that's so much neater than ankle socks. ever seen ankle socks crumple up? no. furthermore, it's so much more tedious to keep pulling up longer socks everytime it crumples downwards. so why are ankle socks still banned? let's question the purpose of having socks. they are to absorb our sweat from our feet inside our shoes right? do they have any purpose in protecting our calf hairs? i doubt it. so what's wrong with ankle socks as long as they fulfill their purpose? furthermore, they look much better, again, from society's viewpoint. and they are easier to maintain too.

but as it is, rules can't be stretched, or they'll give me a white slip. so i'll have to go cut my hair -.- over the weekend i suppose.

/rant

2005-08-20T18:49:00.000+08:00

i am proud to say that the rugby team has earned glory for the school in today's 10s tournament. =D

ok we got a silver. now u guys must be thinking: who gives a shit about a silver? well we lost on penalty kicks. against sajc. =( penalty kicks aren't a clear demarcation of skill, and it was clear that we were the better team when we switched on.

anyway, before the final, we met acjc in the semifinal and beat them thoroughly. hah to all you non-believers who didn't have faith in the rugby team =D

silver. silver.

i want my gold

anyways, i'm dead tired now and shall shutup and go watch the trinations.

2005-08-19T22:14:00.000+08:00

ever wonder how people can survive tYpInG lIkE tHiS for everything they want to say online?

i have.

it's amazing how they can keep on pressing shift at each alternate letter isn't it? it's rather tedious, don't you think? the slow aspect aside, it looks disgusting. with bad fonts, words like lIkE can look like either LLKE or IIKE or ILKE or LIKE. an example would be arial. so why the hell do people want to continue typing in alt caps anyway?

is it because it's cool? LiKe WoW i CaN pReSs ShIfT cOnTiNuOuSlY tHaT mAkEs Me BeTtEr ThAn YoU aNd ShOwS tHaT mY e-PeNiS iS bIgGeR tHaN yOuRs!

is it because it's easier to type like that? hell no.

is it because it looks more appealing? perhaps to the people who use it too. which, sadly to say, is probably like 50% of the singaporean teenage population.

is it because it is just plain retarded? i guess so.

why the hell am i bothering about how people type?!? hmm hmm =/

anyway. just got my a&f polo. thanks shib! i meant thanks dinika. hahahahah. although the colour wasn't what i really wanted, it's really nice too. so yay. and it fits really well. so double yay. costed around 91 bux which means: RATIONING!! i'm used to it cos i lost money on euro2004 last year and had to...

...eat grass for 1 month

uggh lol.

chicken nuggets

2005-08-19T22:04:00.000+08:00

Macdonald $3.80 chicken nugget count: 36 in 3 days.
Wacky Wasabi sauce is damn addictive la, i want to put it in my sushi instead of the real wasabi.

then when i reached orchard i ran thru hmv. and couldn't find them. so i was like OHNOES!!! then apparently they went out and were walking towards marche while i ran in. smart huh? =| ok so it was me, nickchiu, seand, lloyd, junde, leslie, maxine and BIRTHDAY BOY SAMTAN!!! wah the spread was gd. i had nice ribeye steak followed with calamari and softshell crab. then topped it off with a VERY VERY NICE banana crepe with icecream. mm mm. it was orgasmic ahhh. =D

i was wet.

cos i laugh so much and pee in my pants laR!!! stupid ppl who think dirty tsktsktsk. our conversation was frickin RETARDED. ok where can conversations go with lloyd and nickchiu around anyway. hahahaha.

then when we were leaving. BANG. samtan forgot to bring his money lol. so we frantically checked our wallets for moneys. and scraped together 140+ and paid. whee.

anyway, thanks samtan! <3

ok i don't feel like talking abt today cos nothing special happened. so YA.

oh and for the people who were THINKING DIRTY. i skipped conditioning my hair la. hahahhaha. TSKTSK u ppls =D

ok baibai.
