Closed shop!! Thank you all for supporting us ^_^. Many stuff has happened since the start of this project. Although it took up quite alot of my time, i thot it was worth it. It was a nice experience.=)
Today alot of ppl(3) have decided to drop econs and more might follow suit sooner or later. So for now, my econs group is left with 2 ppl and we renamed it 'happy tortoise'. haha. Im thinking of dropping the subject also, actually that was what i planned to do since the start of the yr so that i can focus on the other subjects. Meanwhile, i still attend lectures and all because i find econs interesting. Maybe i'll drop it after promos? maybe sooner.
Anyway, i learnt how to make stars n roses today! haha. Spencer is the expert with starts n dB the expert with roses. Oh man, i finally understand the obsession with straws. haha. Hai. Sat have some clt duty for our dinner later that day. The thing is that i actually want to pon the dinner, then they tell me that i am down for duty =s. how? i want to go for lunch!! wah lao! Whats more its Ncc HQ arrange, n i sort of hate the HQ, at the same time i 'love' it. Hmmm... maybe i'll juz be sick =Pp.
ps: Weijun, if u read this, u'll understand right? lolx.

Had a nice chat with Cheston just noe about guitar stuff like what is the emsemble coordinator suppose to do etc. Was chatting until my bro chased me out of the comp. Now i have it back. muahahaha! Today's speech by Ganesh was superb. I like his last line. Correct me if i'm wrong. "Who says u can have only one dream in your lifetime? And who says that u can have only have one life in your lifetime?" oh man, that was so inspiring, i am even more inspired to stay as busy as i am now because i simply love what i am doing. I dream a dream and try to live my dreams. =)
Anyways, all the best for the ppl who r taking their chem n maths test this sat. Its a crazy combi of subs for common test for a Sat. Its driving me nuts, juz try ur best! u will survive =)
I WANT TO 崩溃!!!!!!

Oh boy am i glad i didnt turn down the offer to go watch this concert! It was one of the best that i have been to. All i can say is that i really enjoyed it. I mean, what can u expect when the best come tgt n play? Come to think of it, the later romantic composers are not tt bad after all. Its so hard to find someone who loves classical music as well, so glad to know of another friend who shares my love for classical music. Not saying that modern pop music sux. So for all u ppl there who want to experience what its like to be inside the durian and good music go get tics! $10.60, v. cheap =) until end of month.. hurry! They dont pop by often.
Thanks Jie Mei!!

*yawns* still tired... but ysd was so full of events. starting with econs test which i got a shock when i saw the ques. becuz i didnt know how to start... gp wasnt any better because i cldnt finsih any of the sections properly. i was at such a lost, didnt know where to start, how long to spend etc. like a blind man walking thru a maze. hai. there goes 2 subs. 3 more to go.. must work hard! cant be like this time, when i found out tt econs n gp ct was ysd 3 days in advance with loads of wk undone.
After the gruelling 3hrs plus in the lts had to go for the conflict management wkshop.. i found out not to my surprise tt im more of a 'people' person. Contrary to what others may think ncc is not all abt shouting n scolding all the time(even tho i did that to my cadets for 1 yr) it has allowed me to show my real side which is to treat cadets like humans and not like the 'dog' treatment we went thru. My style might be more of commanding respect rather then pushing them by fear n issuing orders all the time like a tyrant with ridiculous punishments attached. So went to chs to discuss abt the parade we r hoping to propose for next yr's orientation in which i will take on an impt role. Hmm.. cant wait for it to be approved =) I'll learn things i nv got the chance to do b4 and many thanks to Jonathan who is so dedicated to chs even tho he is from another school. His wealth of experience and knowledge is invaluable. Too bad Mr T.Goh doesn't spot and value a talented CLT such as him. He has been indispensible and working behind the scenes helping out even tho he is no longer posted to chs after a serious argument with my CO.

It was certainly a day to remember sia... The ndp parade was a simple one and not that long... Didnt think any of the J1s wld be able to see us cuz the J2 were assembled in front of them... overall it went quite well.. no major mistakes. So.. add another 10 hrs to my CIP account. lol
The AJ race was slack lor... we didnt bother running to the stations except for one cuz another class head to head with ours.. haha. Mr Tham once again treated us to drinks! No time to go 2 macs in Northpoint to rest for a while, had to rush back for one more station in LT2. It wasnt much success there, couldnt find out most of the ans but juz handed it in anyway. We almost could not make it in time! And it was amazing that we actulaay got 5th! hahaa! Didnt know we are so power =) It was like a warm up session b4 we headed to sentosa..woo.
And so, the beach was pretty empty! yay.. kind of unexpected. we played ball first but it was a bad idea. The sand so sOo hot! u cant stand on a place for 1 sec. Ur feet would hv started catching fire man...The game was quickly abandonded and we headed str8 for the sea.. no points for guessing why.=p Had a hard time persuading ya li, mad n the rest to go deeper into the water... their reactions were so amusing esp when they realise they cant reach the sea bed.. lol! *scream*.... then we all realised tt gx's kayak had capsized, kangli was inside too... me n zhi kai went to take a look, a chance to swim abit oso. and i got the chance to kayak abit... but the water was choppy and the currents were abit strong, with the boat wai1 diao4 to one side, it almost capsized again.. luckily no one panicked or else..... but it was fun =D.
After we all left the sea to join the rest, i guess some were exhausted or juz prefered to laze ard which is what i like to do too =). They didnt come with us to cycling. At $5 an hr it was not too unreasonable, but it was sad to see the cycling track cut off halfway.. then my apologies to kangli!! sorry sorry sorry! yup. i accidentally crashed into her =x. dunno what happened leh, went too close when wanting to overtake then my misjudgement caused it.. argh. feel so nei4 jiu4 lor. thank gdness the cut n abrasion was not tt bad.. (at least i hope).
So.. the hr passed quite fast then we went str8 back to the beach.. haha. played this lame monkey game but at least everyone was involved =D. 2304 rox! yup. Left sentosa ard 7+ and headed for the food court! hungry sia.. took more pics and left harbourfront.. come to think of it, that shopping centre is quite a nice place, with lots of shops specialising in many thgs, etc. but there was little crowd...Can still go there next time?? haha.. i think sentosa is a great place! 4get the disneyland and all... keep the beaches there can le!!

Finalised all the thgs tt are needed for wed's investiture!!

When cheston gave me his 'present' which was "wrapped up"( M&Ms with a ribbon on top of the package) he saluted me... haha. so wierd. I performed the auld lang syne. the lyrics were changed into some meaningful n crappy ones. ahaha. half the time i was anyhow harmonising. After which the j2s called for me to perform a solo, which i didnt decline since it was their day after all right?? villa lobos-prelude no.1 in e minor... if any of u seniors get to read this hope u all like it =) tt was a tough song.. hands ached for a while after it... Food!! was next on the list of programmes.. Lots of phototaking as the J2 crowded ard the cake.. daniel was the cheekiest as he sneaked up behind ppl and put that 'peace' sign... hahaa.. had to get them warmed up abit but it didnt too long before the pizzas were all eaten up. so fun =) much interacting ard.
Proceeded to the LT1 for some 'impt' lecture on the updating of ppl's pearls pts abt cip stc. It was so hot n stuffy inside... and the uniform wasnt one of the coolest set of clothes to be wearing...

Today's concert was simply fantasitc. Simply the best. I am lost for words. It kick started with a dance by then newly formed dance society in chs. Then the play by the choir. lol.! The play was cute. The main characters sang splendidly. The most shocking part was when the boy came all the way up n screamed!! my goodness, shock of my life. He did it marvelously. lol! Thot what happened, all of a sudden this screech took the audience by surpirse. The girls must be envious of that scream. haHaa. The only regret is that the choir was not able to show off their skills because of the many solos by those 3 guys.It was followed by the pri string ensemble. Those small n cute cute kids performed better then expected. =). The symphonic band was the best! The Les Miserables selection showcased the best that they could offer. Their selection included The Master's House to the famous One Day More and Bring Him Home. Sensational.! Not to forget The Entertainer n excerpts from Raindrops keep falling on my head the raincoat. lol. The CO was great too. Holding the audience's attention all the way to the end. The grand finale was v. touching. We all sang peng you n the lyrics were ever meaningful and i tried v. hard to hold back my tears. My emotions just took over me during the song and when the school song was played. Its a feeling i just cant descirbe. I owe them too much. too much. Indebtedness probably is the closest word for it. The sense of belonging when i was amongst the students gathered outside the hall before the concert started was one of the greatest feelings one can experience.
Gong jiao!!
Oey!!
