staff training day!
went to training in the morning :D i tell you suddenly i love sec sch a lot haha! There are just so many fun things to rmb when i grow up, i just realised. Think of it, the swimming pool is one of the very few places in RI that haven't changed since my sec 1 year, and will not be changing. Well okay they did repaint it to make it look nicer, but the entire place still looks the same! The good old clock hanging just right above the steps... the big black steps and not forgetting the deadly edges of the pool which never fail to give nasty cuts to a few inexperienced ppl now and then.
just before we went off we were doing some shooting for fun, and kaiyu was kinda having a hard time saving all our balls. Then he decided not to jump anymore altogether, so we decided to boost his ego a little by shooting lousily. xD it was like when we shot we pretended (very sarcastically) that we were shooting our best, and kaiyu managed to pluck (use two hands to pull the ball down on the water) the ball like 4 times in a row haha. Then he finally realised what we were doing and went like -_-"'
hahaha it's these kinda things that make training fun :D i guess, this pool will be one of the places i will never ever forget when i grow up... i'm saying all these cos it's like now ri's just completely changed; all the architecture and structures, all the colours. They just look super modern yea, and presentable to visitors (in fact quite impressive), but to me, i just can't seem to have any feelings for some grey walls and classrooms that are way too echo-ey and empty. Besides, I have only been in them for less than a year.
anyway! i am watching full metal alchemist all the way from the start again, and as of today, i have watched till episode 19!! since saturday :D that's how nice full metal alchemist is okayy. but umm on the other hand i have 3 tests next week: history, math and physics. I am quite done with history and math i need more practice... physics. ah. they are all more or less the same type of questions! and AHHHH next week. here's what's coming up:
1) 3 tests: history (tmr), math and physics. 3 DAYS IN A ROW. HAII. 2) announcing of _________ (-sob. pressure!! > < ) 3) announcing of _________ (-sob. PRESSURE AGAIN!! > < ) p.s the lines give a clue.. 4) Teacher's day! return to primary school and play good ol' soccer with my pri sch mates :D that's the good thing abt a guys' sch haha! 5) philo essay! 6) english blog (eh my eng blog rocks my socks okay! ms quah actually thinks it's good HAHA: waterpoloboi.livejournal.com) 7) LAST WEEK OF TERM = SEPT SCHOOL BREAK :D :D [wait. which means i have to spend money on treating popcorn soon. sian.]
okay i gotta sleep now or i wont wake up early enough tmr morning. see ya folks! and i like to leave pics in my posts! this wallpaper is super nice :D

just asked around to review myself, well as a person and as a prefect... never done this before, and i am sure this is very very enlightening. You know, there are always two sides to a story, I never thought this way about myself... until someone told me. and i thank you! i thank you chris. let me put it down here, just to remind myself:
firstly and most importantly, I do not think too hard about things. And it's not very beneficial at times, well most times. Or at least when it comes to thinking of good ideas. Like for instance, everyone's effort of cutting the gears during prefects' invest all went to waste; because i did not think carefully about the practicality of such an idea. Resulted in paul and jiahao taking over... and the ORA stall; was that board game really necessary? or would have it been better if we just have sold the ice pops like that?
secondly, when I do think hard about things (or at least try to do so), I become too idealistic and i cannot differentiate between what are lofty and what are good ideas. Again, practicality is important.
thirdly, I have not earned the trust of my peers. Perhaps.. i have been joking around too much have I? But again, like jiahao said, you can be fun but have your peers respect you well at the same time. i dont deny it, jiahao's like that himself haha. well... then that's my fault! I cant draw the line between jokes and work i guess.
fourthly, why dont i earn that respect? It's again, about trust. I expect people to come down and help me when i dont help them? and complain all about it in one lengthy email? furthermore, if you say something, you better do it. and you've got to do it well. i'm sorry my friends. i really am.
there are many many more flaws i have, i am sure of it, just that I'll try my best to work on these 4 for now... well i really am not ashamed of these flaws, just that I am ashamed of what they have done. I've just got to work hard at improving them. and hopefully i can do it in time.

wootsss i finally got some time to blog! cos there are no tests next week haha. i finally got my APR yayy! it dropped by... o.05 from my last gpa. 3.68! not too bad for a sec 3 i guess... i shall not blog about tests for once :D
there was the hci-ri cup on monday and we won!! by penalty shootouts haha. hci was just unlucky to miss 2 balls in a row... and sadly, is this what you call rafflesians? self-explanatory. oh well.. i suppose now i am more justified in saying that ri guys are kinda senseless? it was RIGHT IN FRONT of the hci guys you know. And check this out hahahaha! some 3L guy went to whack a ball at the projector i think :P and the whole thing got tilted and we had to go through the lesson with our heads tilted too. And here... you have detention lines which i got from zong yi the detention IC. he says he has one whole shoe box worth of these pieces of paper now loll.and i wanna recommend songs! hahahahaha. 1) Maroon 5 - Makes me wonder 2) Maroon 5 - Better that we break 3) Blue - Girl I'll never understand 4) Maroon 5 - Little of your time 5) Incubus - Neither of us can see 6) Josh Groban - You're the only place
maroon 5 really rocks mannn :D the first 3 songs are emo songs though.
--------------------------------- This is a story of how it is Lovin' every morning Good loving every night That is what I gave you, And you were so satisfied Dinner on the table There were flowers in the bed Anything you asked for Was it all real or just in my head? Think now, of what it should've been Our love, all it could've been If you were ever wondering I'm doin' fine, but in my mind I could never believe and never understand How you could do this to me Enough is enough, done all I can Now you're gonna lose me Throwing away our yesterdays Everything we planned Cause you're a girl, I'll never understand How you feelin now? Are you happy now? I'm doing just fine Covered you in diamonds Gave you summer in the sun And at that moment I had only just begun Got you the designers From every magazine Baby if I'd known then All this pain inside would never be Girl, you are a mystery So glad, that we're history Guess we were never meant to be And I'm doin' fine, but in my mind I could never believe and never understand How you could do this to me Enough is enough, done all I can Now you're gonna lose me Throwing away our yesterdays Everything we planned Cause you're a girl, I'll never understand Are you happy now baby? That we're history Yeah, yeah Think now, of what it should've been Our love, all it could've been If you were ever wondering I'm doin' fine, but in my mind I'm just throwing away our yesterdays Giving it up on the plans we made Enough is enough, done all I can This girl I'll never understand I could never believe, never understand How you could do this to me Enough is enough, done all I can Now you're gonna lose me Throwing away our yesterday's Everything we planned Cause you're a girl, I'll never understand -----------------------------------

hellooo i did some changes to the template.. doesn't lag right? cos i totally love those 2 crazy songs haha :D the top two are by fat boy slim.. you shld listen to them when you are like high or sth!
okay nothing really happened these few days, cept for endless mugging. And a little of playing after that endless mugging. hm. yea :D ernest lent me this game called dawn of war, some strategy game. Really cool! It's almost the same as War of The Ring or Red Alert 2 or Command and Conquer, but the thing that makes it different is that it has many different races and they each have their unique stuff. Umm Chaos race for example, the villians, they have something like the ultimate warrior, the Bloodthirster which looks sth like the balrog in War of The Ring... And the best part is, its health will deplete once it stops fighting! woots.
and and! here's a video that is super funny haha! it's some puking contest in family guy. Well i won't put the vid here cos it will lag for sure, so here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KghzMaaJPRE
here's ANOTHER one :D i'm not a youtube fan, relax, it's just that I got all these vids from friends haha. This one's about this small buffalo which was eating grass at the bank of a river, afterwhich it gets attacked by this swarm of crocodiles. Next comes along this pack of lions which try to snatch, so the two sides fight over the buffalo.. Then guess what! Now the entire pack of big buffaloes come charging at the lions HAHAHA. Well i think this vid has been arnd for quite some time, just that I didn't see it that's all... Take a look really! (um it might take some time to load i think. be patient! it's worth it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM
Okay enough of recommendations haha. You know, I just cant imagine the all the crap that society will do to us next time... In fact, even now sighh. Actually it's just Singapore in particular, because I haven't been to many other countries. If you would just take a walk around, you will see people whose faces are like oh-you-better-dont-stare-at-me-or-i-will-kill-you. It's just ridiculous, really! Okay fine with the exception of some happy people around that's all... Why can't everyone just have a smile on their faces?? Try going on the MRT in the afternoons, or the buses. Everyone is seriously like dammnnn sian la omg. Just try looking at someone for... 2 seconds? (no i'm joking. dont try! xD)
ahh and i said this before too... why on earth is everyone so cynical about every single little thing? esp ri guys. OKAY. *some ri guys. no. *most ri guys. yup. in the mornings, we see prize presentations, we see RE groups going up to announce that they are selling things and so on. And after the poor guy receives his prize, you hear a few pathetic claps from the side of the raffles square. Who? The prefects and a few teachers. It's just disappointing laa. you go to match supports, everyone just whips out their handphone or psp or what not and starts playing, saying that 'oh we cheer they also cannot hear whatt. what school spirit are you talking about? If they trained hard, they win. Happy lor. They trained lousily, they lose. Too bad. Nothing to do with us. Life goes on.'
you call this the leaders of tomorrow? The pioneers? The thinker? Well yea maybe the thinker, with all the academic stuff. Leaders? No way. What is the RP doing to us. Endless streams of tests and assignments and class tests. So everyone just concentrates on their work so much till they can't come for CCA at all? 'ohh umm i cant come today cos i have a cct tomorrow.. very important, so must revise. ' ridiculous. CCA is called CO-CURRICULAR activities for a reason HELLLOOOOUUOOOOO. -.- look at ching whye, i really admire him you know! Yes cw if you are reading this, it is a comment. He actually feels for his school, as a normal student. Not a prefect or anything. A student! Will the rafflesian feel the same way? I doubt so.
nvmm this will just pass over on the giant world wide web as the senseless rantings of a 15 year old student (YEAA. 15 year old :) i haven't got over receiving my IC yet hahahahaha). sooo cya folks! :D
got a pic before i leave.. just memories yea? :D

I TELL YOU. Monday must have been the day i felt most loser for all my life. (so far. hahahah :D) WHY? I tell you why. First, I chipped my tooth, the front tooth. How on earth did i do that! I was floating arnd the pool as usual during training and decided to take a dip down... dived downwards and stroked. WHAM. I was shocked for like 2 seconds before i realised that i chipped my tooth. Like omggg that's super loser laaa. No one pushed me or anything. Just like that. got it patched back now though..
Then on the same day in the night, there was this really really irritating cricket in my room, so when i finally found it and tried to whack it i hit my finger against the wall HARD. ouch. then i got a bruise which turned purple and still hasn't recovered. sighhh. this is so depressing.
I won't ever forget this monday man. It's the stupidest day of my life. (so far!)
Then today was national day celebrations.. Totally boring i tell you! the only interesting part for me was the speaker's section. The speaker was really cool haha! even though he's already like 80 years old or sth this year. During the Q&A session no one asked questions, so he said with a grin, "well guys, if you dont ask questions, i'll have to go down and ask you!" hahaha a really hearty old dude. Wish i can be like him when i age next time :D when he left he picked up his walking stick and waved it in the air. hahaaa we should have more interesting speakers like that...
Then after school, i went to ernest's house to do history pt with xp and yiliang. so siann man do from like 12.30 till 6... non stop sighh. luckily we were supplied with two whole packs of chocolate, so yeaa it wasn't too bad :D AND i drew this skullhead which seems really really satanic, so i dont know whether zhao kai would want it on our pt... cos he's a devout christian you see... oh btw the topic is on black death so everything has to be grim and morbid! yuppp. have to go back to do tmr SIGHH. so now, i need some good rest! see ya..

wheee i suddenly feel like posting some random stuff... the different species of RI guys (and maybe if i have the time, RI teachers) you can find in. urm. RI. =D
the MUGGER These guys are the hardcore main engines of the school's academic achievements. They mostly are eaten by the evil loads of homework (or in some cases, choose to be eaten) and can be seen holding notebooks during breaks. During free time, you can see them staring at their textbooks or self-made notes. The main content of their conversations hangs at the discussion of assignments, completed olympiads, tests or marks. A real life sample of whom i shall not quote is as follows: "I am soo disappointed in my math cct. -emos-" *takes his cct paper and stares.* wow. he's upset over a 31.5 upon 30 because the max is 32. (please note that this is maths RA)
The mugger can be broken up into 2 further sub divisions. The smart mugger and the dumb mugger. SMs do not need to study much and have claimed that they only study on the eve of their tests by taking a few short glances. Freaky. Dumb muggers are people who study till they wanna die but only get slightly above average marks.
the SPORTSMAN The sportsman is dedicated to his CCA, in particular, a sport. He is often spotted with a giant luggage-like bag which may usually contain only 2 pairs of trunks and a towel. They may also carry with them large 2L bottles and boots. Sportsmen (sigh. i would say guys actually) are easily identified by their strong builds. Swimmers usually have broader shoulders and bronze hair, along with hairless legs; waterpolo players are different in that we do not have bronze hair, we have hair XD and we have more ball sense. Ruggers are usually much longer either vertically or horizontally. There are few ruggers who are medium sized. Ruggers can be identified by their more poser bags and shoes, and in some cases, hair. Judo ppl are usually pale-skinned, due to their trainings in the enclosed gym. However, it is advisable to avoid fights with judo guys. Self-explanatory. Trackers. Sprinters usually walk at a slower pace compared to other people and may be mistaken for emoing. Most have hunched statures. Crosscountry runners are easily identifiable by their fetish for short pants and by their overly enlarged calves or thighs. Thats all i can do for today haha. gotta study! more coming up haha :D
