My Trip To Jakarta

2005-06-08T19:11:00.000-07:00

Day One:

Well it started off pretty well. I was living in an executive suite, kindly paid for by my dad’s friend =) haha… so I lazed around while imagining my friends doing CIP ^^ then I went down to enjoy a heavy breakfast, while watching the MTV channel and just lazing around. Soon, I grew bored and went back to my room to watch soccer. At noon, my dad’s friend came to bring us for lunch, and safari. One thing I learn : long roads suck. Lols… it was still okay the first time as I slept most of the way, waking up to enjoy a buffet meal at a restorant before we headed for the Safari! All I can say about it is : IT ROCKS ><

Lol it was really good cuz I saw many cute animals like mousedeer, hippos, deer, goats, buffalos, and much more. There were cool electronic fences and stuffage and the animal;s came right up to our car! Haha my brother kept winding down the window to attract them using the aircon. I got some really cool pics… and then we ventured into cat territory. BIG cats. First up, we saw tons of tigers just roaming around, and lions too. One things for sure : my brother was NOT intent on touching them =) suddenly, one tiger started whacking the back of our car! We fired off the engine and headed off in a hurry, with it chasing for a short while. -.-“scary… then net up was the bear territory. We went in and saw baby bears. We ventured further and saw mommy bears. Then a big bear came up and laid its paws on our front screen! The driver was shivering like mad, but thankfully the bear backed off.

When we reached the end, we found that the tiger had PUNCHED A BIG HOLE in the back of the FIBREGLASS CAR! lols. Will try to produce pics. And the bear had left muddy paw prints… so after this we headed off for dinner. On the way saw little kids around 4 or 5 selling newspapers and food for a living! To imagine we can like slack around and get an allowance while these people live from hand to mouth. I felt like buying all his papers, but I couldn’t read malay. So I just bought a few toys and stuff. You could see the way the little guys face lit up. It was that of innocence, and pure joy. I’ll never forget it.

Anyway, as previously mentioned, long roads suck. The journey to our restaurant involved a giant highway, and along it nature began calling. I tried sleeping, but bumps and humps didn’t help much. I was desperate! And my brother wasn’t helping by slurping water noisily. I was thirsty, so I needed to intake at one end and output at the other. SUXXORZ! Blessedly, I managed to get to the restaurant before exploding. Good for me, better for the car.

After a yummy beef dinner, I went back to the hotel with my parents. We slacked and watched tv, and I took it into my head to take a bath. Nothing wrong right? So I entered, locked the door and began. Normal right? I toweled myself dry and wore fresh clothes. Still ok right? I turned the lock, and TRIED to open the door. NOT OKAY! The lousy thingie was stuck! So I called the hotel counter and they took a crazy 50 minutes to come! … all I can say is it was really boring. I mean u can only count water droplets so many times.

Ah wells, at least I managed to catch some cool army show and a soccer match. As I type this, I am missing out on a cool bank robbery on tv. Well, gotta blast! More stuff tomorrow.

p.s. : im typing this on a laptop to be transferred. Whoot!

Day Two: I am now sitting in my hotel room with two king beds, after having watched star wars on some Indonesian vcd. haha so there Chermaine! No more gloating. Anyway, it wasn’t as good as I expected. Yeah. Rather draggy at parts, but I liked the fighting. Especially the last part. Comment : Anakin looks like crap! I pity the poor soul who acted the after-going-thru-lava-anakin. That guy looks like a piece of crap. Grievious was a fat loser. And dooku died too fast. If u pple noticed, Anakin had red eyes at the end.

Some screwed up subtitles :

1) Dark Side – Dark Eunuch. This is just dumb I dun get why.
2) Myself – xself. I also dunno why but its sorta funny.
3) Good – big. This is just weird.

Haha there are many more grammar errors like sentences saying “ the chancelotx to rescue the doors we must run now force hurry.” When it really is “ we must rescue the chancellor! Through the doors now!” haha… I dunno how these Indonesians screw up such easy stuff. Ah wells. Over all, I give it a 7/10. rather okay.

Hmmm today morning had a big bkfast again! Whee im getting used to this cool stuff like unlimited anything. Went off to Carrefour there for shopping! Man the place rocks. Its 8 storeys! EIGHT GIANT STOREYS! Whoo was it fun. But sadly, I only explored two. Lol. So when I went into Carrefour, I was looking for a bag. I found some nice 69,000 rupiah bag. Which amounts to eleven bucks. Approximately. And I wnted it so badly! BUT MY PARENTS THOUGHT IT SUCKED. HRMPHF! So to prove tt it rocked, I decided to test waterproofness. Lol I actually poured a little water experimented on every bag there to prove mine was just as waterproof as the one she wanted. In the end, didn’t get it. I ran around being crazy and finally, found tons of bubble/chewing gum which I am now the proud owner of.

Went to the upper levels to look around, managed to get a nice shirt which I will wear to Abigail’s party. Got her a present in advance… its nothing much. But its cute ^^ lol… who else wants presents? GO GET YOURSELF LAH IM BACK ALREADY =) lol.

So slacked the rest of the after noon off by watching star wars from a vcd bought there. Did I mention my brother and I walked against the up/down escalators the whole time? Lol it was fun! But tiring. And did I mention that macdonalds costs like 2 bucks for a Extra Value Meal? Crazy.

Haha miss you guys! Gonna nap now. Whee…

After five hours…

Fine beef imported from Japan served to you alongside prime pork from Korea

VS

Fine, tender beef from Japan grilled over a low intensity flame to bring out the very aroma within served to you alongside succulent prime pork imported from Korea, barbecued over a charcoal grill, bringing out its juiciness and savoury flavour. Yummy.

Lol the second one is mine, cuz I thought that the Korean restaurant a stone’s throw away from my hotel deserved a better description of its best dish. And boy does it live up to expectations. We had a fun time enjoying all the yummy beef and stuffage like kimchi. I <3 korea! Lols. After the meal, being young rowdy boys, we played with the grill… haha we managed to burn a bone black all over and cook an egg from the size of your fist, into a shriveled mass shorter than my pinky. We were running out of lousy unsatisfactory food, and out of fun. So I decided to ‘spice’ things up, with some gravy and sauce. The result was explosive! Haha the whole grill began to fizzle and it made spluttering noises. Cool eh? But I, joseph the explorer, was NOT satisfied. Hence, I decided to practice what I had learnt in primary school. A cup of cold water, and a little slip of the hand. Immediately, huge clouds of smoke rose into the air and the staff came over. (hehe this is real I kid you not) I got a prompt scolding few reminders, but which genius never gets into trouble while having fun? Haha…

Explored the gym. Whee four days of gym for me coming right up! Ah they have non stop hit movies here I am going off to watch byebye!

p.s. : blogging on Microsoft word is lame. I miss internet. And msn… =(

Day Three:

I started off the day by waking up amazingly early. 7.30 is early for a HOLIDAY okay… =( ah wells. Headed to the local church for the service and enjoyed worshipping in MALAY? The audience comprised mostly of adults, but they were waving and jumping as well as any youth church. Impressive. And in business suits somemore… after setting a new high score of 2008 for Nature Park on my handphone, I headed back to the hotel in a taxi. Its amazingly cheap! Starts off as 80 cents, then increases by 4 cents every 100 metres. Cool or what man… so much cheaper than Singapore lor!!!

So I went back, watched world class athletes do long jump and high jump and pole vault and 4 x 400. lolls the long jump rocked because they swing their legs in the air and it feels/looks like flying. I did try it, but my face connected with the carpet in a loving kiss and I decided it wasn’t worth it.

Went with my mom’s friend to tour the place. Jakarta’s version of Chinatown ROCKS! Pity I didn’t have enough time. Bought lotsa cheap tidbits. When I say cheap, I mean a dollar a kilo? Cool. They sell millions of vcds of ALL SORTS. And I mean from movies, old and recent, mp3s, oldies, audio, and even porn much much more! Yeah. How… versatile? So I looked around, and found this blue bag. I saw many more, but didn’t have TIME! All I can say is shopping in Jakarta rocks.

Went back to the place while trashing my brother at blackjack. Sigh I feel so bored now. Wish I could play soccer or bball. But sadly… now there’s this skating show on tv. And they are at a bachelor party… whoo. I love bachelor parties ^^ . So concludes my third afternoon.

Day Four:

Today began with a filling breakfast once more, and soon after we headed off for shopping, then lunch, I found some cool bargains like NIKE bags half spore price, but sadly just didn’t feel like buying it. You see, it felt great to be a millionaire. 200 sing dollars is 1100000 rupiah. Yeah. One million, one hundred thousand. And when u fish out that bill and look at it, you just feel good. Trust me. Ate a lunch with my dad’s friend, then went back to the hotel to slack relax once more ( familiar is it not? )

Still miss internet lots. Keep thinking about pple’s blogs, email and stuffage. And the worst part is, I have no way to publish all this that I am writing. I am writing it like you pple can read it, but actually you cant. Ah wells. Have decided to voice thoughts in my blog rather than just events. I miss lots of stuff. But most of all , I miss traveling in Singapore. Yeah. Here, there is a jam the whole time! And like I travel from Home to school. Normally, it takes 15 minutes maximum. 20 with jam. Here, it takes an hour or more! There are no road lines to denunciate which lane to go, and few traffic lights. Most of which don’t work. -.-” … so sucky much room for improvement

So went for dinner at this cool house. They have a big plot of land, big enough to make a street soccer, basketball, tennis and badminton court, with spare space all around. Haha… have to go sleep now lah. Indonesian food is sorta saltier than Singaporean. I miss mcdonalds. I feel like reading xiaxue.blogspot.com. I feel like emailing my friends. I feel like smsing my meis. I feel… homesick. Lolls. And tired too. Good night readers… ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ^^

Day Five:

Lets skip the routine. I headed off to the mall for some shopping, while my dad went off to meet some youth pastors. We proceeded to purchase foodstuff and clothing on very cheap bargains! I love Indonesia. 7 different branded clothing, for 80,000 rupiah. Which is about 15 bucks? Lol…

My brother and I proceeded to rewatch finding nemo while stealing borrowing some bubblegum from a shop. You know. Those kind with many different types that cost blahblah for 100 grams. Hehe… >< soon after, we decided to finish up our duel at a coffeshop. I beat him 20-6 in blackjack and 10 – 3 in tai tee, all casino style. Whee =) then we spent time chasing each other round the shopping center and looking at the cds. The only minus point is that the cds were Singapore priced, so I didn’t buy any. After my dad came, we went off to Secret Recipe, this really nice place selling yummy stuff near my Singapore residence. Amazingly, the price were like 1/3 of Singapore! Lame stew costing $16 was now $8, and other meals around $12 were now $3! We bought a meal that in Singapore would have burned our pockets but here, cost less than $20. this was a lamb stew, a Mexican chicken grill, a mushroom chicken meal, tom yam soup, two marble cheese cakes and one chocolate banana! Just to illustrate what I mean by cheap affordable, this would have priced around 60 bucks in Singapore. Yeah…

So we headed back, and ate the food, and reflected on our entire trip before my brother and I watched some soccer match and went to sleep. I seem to be watching plenty of late night shows here. Cuz the late night shows rock lah… got ESPN Star Sports and five movie channels! Can watch until eyes pop out one lor. I am now blogging the day after because I was too lazy tired to blog last night. Haha…

Highlights:

WARNING: this section contains details which I FEEL LIKE blogging about and you losers uninterested people can just STAY OUT! So there.

Well there were many memorable stuff along the trip. For example, my experience at the Chinatown of Jakarta. We had just arrived, and after purchasing some goodies had been wandering around. We spotted one whole row of vcds, and went over to take a look. There were Tom cruise movies, James Bond, Star Wars, AND MUCH MORE. So I flipped over one to see what was underneath, and wished I hadn’t. it was chock full of PORN! Argh indonesia’s government is perverse! We rushed out of that place and went somewhere else. Hehe.

Okay actually that’s all I wanted to say. So im leaving for the plane soon after breakfast, gym and lunch. Okay not that soon but ah wells Singapore here I come!\

whee im back now

leaving on a jet plane...

2005-06-02T04:54:00.000-07:00

lol am i pro or what? yes dear readers, i am at the Changi Airport, arguably the world's BEST airport now. preparing to leave for Jakarta soon. whee im coming back on Wednesday... missing lots of CIP with a B2 ( read phangs blog ) and a sleepover at YQ's (though he didnt invite me). ah wells. in exchange, i'll be getting 200k rupiah in spending cash ><

cooh eh? haha. going to some cool zoo thingie. will share when im back. i sorta miss my mp3's lots now. especially when Perfect's playing in the background... haha. my little borther is peeping over my shoulder and the big black digital clock reads 7:53 in large, bold, red numbers.

leaving on a SIA plane...

erps -.-"

2005-05-30T05:21:00.000-07:00

woot!

You Are Incredibly Logical

(You got 88% of the questions right)

Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic
You think rationally, clearly, and quickly.
A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer!

How Logical Are You?

haha. pwn u man.

saturday was fun. sunday was funner. monday was also fun.

whee!

Tell The World

2005-05-24T04:27:00.000-07:00

i was listening to this song called Tell the World on evans blog. and suddenly, i was consumed by a desire to do so so here i am. the lyrics of this song go something liddat -

" all i want in this life time is you, all i want in this whole world is you. Tell the world that Jesus lives! Tell the world that, tell the world that. Tell the world that he died for them, Tell the world that he lives again" " cmon cmon we'll tell the world about you (6x)"

and i would just like to take this chance. there have been many people who have been positively influential in the life of little me, being frens and relatives and so on. but how many are Christian? this song reminds me of how privileged i am, to be born into a Christian family. im not gonna do anything radical like sit on you and grasp your throat till ure done with the sinners prayer. but i would like to make an offer -

" just a question will do, whether it be by msn, email, or personally. i'd like to tell you more about Jesus. i'd like to tell the world."

and if you wanna hear this zhaii song, its at www.-burdened.blogspot.com. try listening all the way. haha rock on pple!

-p.s. : to a certain mei(s) - u can except a return letter... soon.

hasta la vista.

Joseph

Thank you Hui Shi

just a kid, just an average kid

WAH LAU EH

2005-04-13T05:50:00.000-07:00

heh too bad i dun care who sees this im damn pissed. lately, FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AT ALL, cheng is dissing me everywhere. firstly abt a month ago, on msn he suddenly talks to me and says " dun act cute joseph, dun act innocent and put on a facade u can fool everyone but not me." and im like oO whatever?

then in class recently he keeps picking on me like saying "joseph stop talking" when everyone one else is and like whatthe? then today, was the last straw. in class, we were doing the heritage fest thingy, so benji moved over and we like chatted bout the slides and things. then i was like taking down notes. i take notes fast and small, so when i stopped and chatted with benben, he like suddenly clasts me " joseph take notes!" and when i show him my paper he protests that its very little and i point out that i have probably taken the most notes in class but oh no jsoeph is always wrong.

so i just heck and continue and then i talk to benben somemore then again he goes " if u cant control urself please dont sit together" and like its benben who moved over. then for no rhyme or reason he goes " and stop acting cute mr tay. ure far past that." and im like wtf?

to think i used to like him as my favourite teacher. screw it...

haha cya X0)

WOW!?...

2005-04-06T02:56:00.000-07:00

See the title? do you believe? today was not just a wow! kind of day,it was also a wow? and a wow... day. let me explain.

early in the morning, i prepare for projects day. we go into the lab, to find out that mr lee gave us the exact same topic as jeremy. and he's going first... T_T. the judges ask" are you from the previous group when we go up. SIGH. mr lee comes in haflway, and says " HAHA so fun to see you two struggle. GRRRRRR...

Later on, we get bored and hence sneak out with excuses of toilet. sounds normal, but tis amazing cuz we go out together, ask together, go for like half hour and we ask the same teacher each time. lol... wow? and she's like "comebackquickly" and we like just stroll in sometime later.

We were released early, and went to play table tennis with our hands. yi jun & wei zhong pass by and look on. suddenly, jeffrey appears out of nowhere and tells us to go for projects day. we claim early release(which was true), but he says " go watch your consortiums present" we higly suspected that no one was presenting le, so we just went to the library lor. There, kar weng job and some guy appeared and pinched my cheeks and stole my sweets then vanished. oO

We were waiting at the busstop, then along came jasper out of nowhere as usual. suddenly, he found an ezlink card on the thingie, chucked along with the cigarrettes. typical jasper. we coaxed it out of him, then went off in the hope that we couldlater buy mcdonalds with it hehe X) leroy bought a $1 icecream, and was eating it when 156 came. he stuck it into a cup, and boarded the bus with it stuck in his pouch. haha i was laughing all the way... nad it kept dripping and everyone was staring except the driver.

I accidentally dropped the ezlink card at seveneleven, and before i could pick it up, a woman handed it to the staff. ah wells i was going to do tt anyway... right? we walked home slightly depressed, and our sharp eyes caught sight of magoes, unripe on a tree. i went to pick them, and tried to let them get squished on the road by a car. hehe... they were really hard. unripe wad... now this is freaky. i kept throwing it onto the road, and it kept rolling back.ok so there was a slight slope... but then even worse, when it was flat, i threw it again, and it got stuck in a rut. so it just kept rolling, and all the cars missed it! so we rethrew like 5 times, and about 100 cars passed by ( i counted)... no joke. and yet it was untouched. i was damn pissed, so i kicked it really hard. it flew to the opposite side, and a car squished it. "-.-... sigh. fortune toying with me. i have pics tho. ask me if u wanna see.

then, we were walking home, then it started to drizzle lightly. being in a dumb state of mind, we began to count the drops that hit our head. "1", "2", "3"... 45678910! suddenly, it began to pour like therewas no tomorrow, and we ran to leroy's house for shelter. hehe tt's about it... just tt we really really dumb to count raindrops before the rain. haha... and some figures - leroy's comp has 32000 viruses.

LOL.

OWNED!

Joseph

Especially for Para

2005-04-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

hehe its doesnt mean im undervalueing all the rest, but i owe it to him for forgetting. yeah... and sorry if the previous was short, i had five minutes? miracle i typed tt much.

Para is a great friend to joseph, in my opinion, because he always talks to him and says he rocks and gangs up with him to bully jon lee. he enjoys sharing joseph's food like rollercoasters and popcorn chicken, and is especially warming up in the -HUG- section. he is smart and pro at O2Jam and Hexic, which joseph hopes to one day emulate. he is ptient with Joseph and friendly and stuff, and was a great great comfor to Joseph during Yq's absence. as a passerby, i feel that he has been a great help to Joseph, and Joseph is hence eternally grateful; to him. he says " i <3 para!"

- by joseph's alterego who appears when he woos chio bus ^^

yeah i <3 u para! rock on.

erm sorry but u gotta share. i feel i should mention hippy, alvin and pigsie more.

Alvin - well i dun noe him well. but he's focused nad funny at times. haha hope to noe u better vino!

Pigsie - we used to be great pals. but somehow i feel he's colder to me. i'll still help him though... and always be there. ^^ hope... u can find a better friend to be with i guess. or is it just me?

Han Chang - one of the most taken forgranted. hippy u rock haha... always help[ful and stuff. tho he likes to act seh sometimes... who doesnt? haha... =) go hip go! be a councillor ya?

Thank you.

2005-04-02T20:10:00.001-08:00

Drama people:

Kar Weng - he may not be very close to me and may not read this at all, but i just want to thank him for being this really great and nice senior who's always so helpful and patient with me, not grouching even though i took over his scene, instead helping me all the time and giving me tips on using my diaphragm and stuff. yeah... same goes for jerry, yun song and job, who are nice seniors except for pinching and attempted bonding (failed X) ! ) overall, just thanks for letting me act in syf, and i assure you i'll give my best.

2005-03-27T00:26:00.000-08:00

haha... today was a great day. went out with my neighbours, ate some lovely indian food at some lovely indian restaurant. when i went in, i saw the vegetarian sign and thought to myself oh no im screwed. but it turned out, that if you love cheese, then this place rocks. their cheese masala, hot, toasty, and lovely, with just the right amount of cheese, not too much that it becomes yucky, but not too little that you can smell only but not taste.

went shopping at mustafa, this big mall thinggie. bought a really cute mini soccer ball and took pics of it at home. its in my hp if anyone wanna see ^^ hehe well; there was this funny product for menustration, that in the precaution said " do not use during pregnancy. haha the people there obviously didnt learn their bio^^

N...Nitrogen

You scored 32 Mass, 49 Electronegativity, 49 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!

Sweet! You're quirky and non-confrontational... but you are also highly dynamic in relationships. You're kinda that "anything to anyone" type, but you don't demand that people love you for it. You very much do you own thing... and probably by extention you're the only one who can do the things you do. You're rarely found alone, but you'd get along great with other people like yourself. You're probably the only element that should try to find a mate who is just like you. Oh, and too much of you in a high-pressure situation can make other people act drunk... or die.

My test tracked 4 variables

How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 31% on Mass
You scored higher than 91% on Electroneg
You scored higher than 43% on Metal
You scored higher than 1% on Radioactivity

haha today watched lemony snickett's a series of unfortunate events. personally, i dont think it is as good as its hyped out to be. the plot is rather sketchy. perhaps the books are better... shld read when i get a chance. hmmmm... its rather okay la. not bad gothic design. lovely acting by jim carrey. really loved the way he was evil, yet spooky at the same time. erratic but yet staying just at the borderline between dramatic and crazy. yeah... the kids were okay. but i felt that their special talents of inventing, reading and biting weren't really... displayed well. despite the warning that it was not a fairytale, it was just a slightly different version. a 'rather' happy ending also la...
well i went off to NUH. to visit some cute baby. but ermermerm... 'accidentally' i bumped into yq. and went about with him, saw him eat lunch. he had a great appetite. then he was discharged, and later found him at the cafeteria with kanzy and liangjie. haha... his sister is rather nice la. if she reads this, well my brother may look pri 1 but u look sec 1 haha ^^ no offence though... whee.
hmmm went to churhc played soccer visited grandpa and read digital fortress again. i did it in 45 mins, for the record. haha i amaze myself sometimes. whee marcus im all ready for the report. well, dad doesnt like me using the comp. turns out virus came in thru msn hehe... kbye guys! sigh undone mrp proposal, irs, projects day registration, major bio test, drama script competition, SYF, and going out with frens. so much to do so little time.

a very long blogging absence. dont blame me all you who read, its just maplestory. and my slackiness of course... hehe X)

ah wells so much has happened i cant remember back tt far. but what i can, i'll say. REsults? okay lar.. im rather happy with em. but sad too. explanation coming up...

Results:
English : 68 (b3) this one is just... sad.
Chinese : 65 (b3) whew...
IH : 69 (b3) just one more point... and its laurang's fault k.
Sci, Math, Comp A1 ^^ haha math is really unexpected. REALLY. Comp was just... hehe thanks toh jia jun X)

okay here goes. I screwed up English because i was too... ok so i was ego and didnt study. but who does? it was hard k dun blame me. any way like 2 pple got a1 so... yeah. Chinese? well i didnt know the teahcer counts all stuff on equal percentage. tt means oral practice in class same weightage as test. same goes to all compositions, letter writing, comprehensions... u name it. and i screwed up some. hey dun blame me...

IH. comprises lit, history, and geog. Lit? i got 75. guess what? im top. in my class tt is. but laurang,she is evil. ok mebbe not tt bad... hehe. but im pissed cuz she is like damn niao with marks. last year, mr cheng was the teacher. top marks =? 24,23,22. This year? 19,19,19
yeah... rather obvious right? Geography, i missed out one 3 mark question. converted to 100 percent, ten marks. two grades! from an a1, to a b3. from a b3, to a c5. you get the idea. History? same thing. ms ong, imho, was rather ungenerous with marks. and it was upon twenty... so missing a1 by two marks meant two grades down again. yeah... its just sad.

ah wells. been having a riot of a holiday, drama practice daily. rather cool though, what with nice seniors and fun acting and magic cards in the slacking room. hehe... went to see yq yesterday. he is so tall!!!! so veryveryvery tall. he grew by like... 6 cm? in three weeks? UNFAIR i say. UNFAIR. ah wells must sleep more i guess... he loked ok a bit aple but recovering well. yay!

see you all... and for miracles sake, mysticdavey grew a level. yes, after dying 35 times he grew a level. cheerios! ( ps this is maplestory stuff hehe )

Yongquan, personally to me, was one of my best friends. Without him, my math and everything else would be screwed. he was always there to help me, playful at times, but then again so was i.

he was friendly and caring, lending a helping hand to everyone in the class. and yesterday, he fell. because of us. he ran, fell, stumbled up, fell and stayed that way. he got up, or tried to, for us. see? he was doing it for the class. yq is not a selfish person. he wasnt trying to gain personal glory. he just wanted ispark, or 2O, to get something, some reoognition. though he had already done tons, he wanted to do more.

and now, with his condition, what can we do to help him? i feel its not crictising those laughers, not threats against them, not saying " oh no ! ". its praying for him. in every religion, there is a god. i am a christian, so i believe in Jesus. regardless of who you are, if you read this, please take some time. say a silent prayer for him. as he now fights and struggles, so we too must share his burden.

human life is a very important thing. without yq, i would not even have gotten past sec one. he was my motivation throughout. i will pray for him with all my ability. Will you?

Yongquan. We Misss You.

2005-02-25T06:28:00.000-08:00

when i ran past you today and saw you lying there, i veered for a closer look. seeing you lying there, i thought you were okay already and moved on. only till later when i saw the stretchers, then did i realise the seriousness. forgive me for not stoping to take a look.

yongquan, we all love you. rememeber that. please get well soon, we all want you back here with us. i may ahve been crappy, i may have been --- at times. but please, have the will to recover and get back soon. get out of ICU, and return to 2O. we miss you. all of us.

yours, Joseph

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

2005-02-23T23:25:00.000-08:00

19.5 upon 30 for Geography! and guess why? Joseph forgot to do a question! a question with 9 marks! 9% over 100 marks! argharghargh... its really depressing.

whee. im surprised at myself. what was easy is hard, what was hard is easy.

Math, which i expected to fail or at most barely scrape, i got an A1. =) whee thanks and most credit goes to my dad who explained to me the night before and Jeremy and Pigshee. and all explained simultaneous equations which i had requested for as i with my foresight had foreseen that it would take up 50% of the marks. and it did. and i got all of tt 50% ^^

but i do believe that if i had not slept or attemtped to sleep, and had instead bothered to complete the qustions instead of half doing them, i too could have gotten 45. ah well.

Chinese. im supposed to be good at this so i spend the night before playing Maplestory. bad choice. guess what? i like screw up the memorise ciyu part but ace the free explanation part or 自由发表... pity it was only 20 marks. so the great Jose ends up with 58 upon 100 and has to do retest. screwed man...

ah wells. Lit was so-so, English was a bit better, Geography was risky(50% depends on one question and im not sure!!!) and there's still History to go. And the retest. ah wells persevere then pia maple!

Whee kthnxbye

this was the topic that i talked about last year for tt ridiculously biassed public speaking competition where the great TCHS and the (notasgreatbutbetterthantheothers) Nanyang won... absolutely nothing? guess what? the judges all from ACS and RI mah...

Ah well. i just talked to my mom's fren on the phone im my "answering impressively" voice. and i realised something. what if - i couldnt differantiate between my normal and my pretend voice(s)? what if i wasnt sure which was which? we were learning in literature about how face apint use din the Lord of the Flies obscured one's identity. is it the same without voice?

because for me, my voice paints a thousand pictures. its like they all say " wah so guai" while those who know me are like "ya right!". and the other day ms ong commented at the busstop that when i acted, i sounded so emotionless in playing my role she was shocked and didnt think it was really me.

is tt true? have i really become liddat? tag! whee haha... and join friendster. if u do add my yahoo mail k?

Some Jokes and a Nice Song:

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,", Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes. "I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before see unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."

haha... yeah man down with algebra.

erm Clay Aiken's Invisible. Like it lots... ask me for mp3 in tag if u want. it rocks.

Invisible

Whatcha? doin? tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Who's stealin' your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive

[Chorus]
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

Saw your face in the crowd
I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life

[Chorus]
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm scream out
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...

[Repeat Chorus]

If I was invisible...If I was invisible...If I was invisible...If I was invisible...If I was invisible...If I was invisible...

his singing rocks. rock on mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ^^

2005-02-13T00:32:00.000-08:00

So, it’s the last day before my tests start. Im feeling REALLY great. But just before im gonna plunge myself into the horrible mental stress and torture and hopefully, emerge alive one week later, let me say a few words. Recently, after reading Jeremy and Jonathan’s blog posts, I feel that I have something to say about it all.

DISCLAIMER: I am using people as examples here. Some examples may be cruel or rude but its your choice to read this. This is in no way a personal attack on anyone and whether you want to read is purely YOUR OWN DECISION. Thanks =)

If I am not wrong, the whole issue is about self worth and stuff and perfection blahblahblah. Or at least that’s how I see it. I had lots to say in the morning but ah well short term memory. Firstly, I feel this world is unfair. Take a look at Jeremy and Jonathan and Pigsie. They are extremely smart. That’s right. Compared to the rest of us, they are extremely smart. And we are supposed to be gifted…

But the point is, no doubt they have put in hard work. No doubt they have spent time studying. I am not saying they are some slackers who just ‘smarted’ their way to where they are. But look at it this way. (everyone likes to be praised whether they will admit it or not but no one likes to be criticized unless they are really humble or really dumb. So I shall use myself as an example.) Compared to them, I am nowhere as gifted in the area of Math. To put it blatantly, I SUCK at Math. When I am listening to the lesson, I don’t understand anything except for rare occasions when I catch a glimpse of easier concepts like 1+1. but look at them. They all deny it like “ oh im not smart. Stop it im really very stupid” but what does this really mean to us?

See they are like fifteen steps ahead and are gaining more steps with each second while I am like “ huh?” and sorta going backwards in comparison. Hence, if they say they suck, then what are we? Or more specifically, what am I? That’s why I hate to see people saying “ oh im not good at this.” When they obviously are! Look at Ho jia Jun. So yesyesyes, Samuel lee is more talented than him in drawing. But the fact that he was/is in the arts elective programme means that he has talent! He’s better than most of us! But why does he keep saying “ I suck I suck I suck I suck?” is that a cheap attempt at being humble? Ok, im not just targeting Ho. Lots of people do that. Take jonathan lee for example. On his recent blog post, he was like “ im not intelligent. Im fat. Im ugly. “ the fat ugly or fashion dinosaur thing is largely opiniated. Hey, if you think jon lee’s hot suit yourself. But dumb? Stupid? That’s just wrong.

And so, when we say “ im so smart “ we appear very proud. But when we put ourselves down to appear humble or just follow the crowd, stop and think for a moment. Jeremy said he was FAT? UGLY? He’s not only insulting like 90% of the male population, he’s also insulting the taste of all the girls who have a crush on him or think he’s hot. So he thinks he’s ugly. Fat? FAT? FFAAAAAATTTTTTTT? No way. How can someone with abs be fat? Its like saying han chang is too thin. Or like saying phang is too manly. Or like saying “ joseph is the most serious crapper I’ve ever known cuz he NEVER laughs”
Get what I mean?

Its like really screwed if you believed that Jeremy is fat, or jonathan lee is stupid, or ho jia jun is sucky at art. I know what im good or bad at, and im not gonna like say I suck or rock when I don’t. except when Im crapping of course ^^ like for studies, im good at Languages and Lit, but suck at math. Really really suck. See?

Im not trying to make everyone start saying they rock. But its bad toput yourself down. Trying praising yourself sometime. Its addictive =)

CNY

2005-02-09T07:26:00.000-08:00

Hi all! im feeling much... happier since the start of these hols and since my visitor counter has been jumping like crazy. whee ~

Yesterday, our school had CNY celebrations. we didnt do much except slack and talk about Maplestory at the back. Yi Jun and i got tired of the thing so we sneaked out at nine, half an hour before it was suppossed to end. but me being the loyal and trustworthy friend i am, i went back to help Han chang out. He was... more noticeable. So i went in. And just as i was gonna get him out, the teachers started doing their stuff. which meant that they started guarding the exits so that no one could even go to the loo.

Man, was i in a dilemna. sadly, i abandoned han chang while arranging to meet up later before i made a mad dash for it. How you ask. Well, i just jumped up, grabbed my stomach as realistically as i could, and rushed out of the hall in the direction of the toilet. As i neared it, i made a turn and dashed down the very very nearby stairs. No one gave chase!

so happily, i went off and met up with yi jun and got to hpps. Well, the teachers weren't in the staff room so we went off to the hall. It was crowded and sweaty and humid and it stank. Gao lao shi sported this totally rad hairstyle... with spikes and all. =) haha... she looked different. we talked to the teachers before going back down to the staff room where we met the ret of the TCHS people.

unable to resist the allure of sweet soccer, we went off even though i had this " dont get sweaty " plan. sufficient to say. it really didnt work out quite well. In the first match, me keefe and han chang versused lester, yi jun, marcus. I scored three goals! whee we won three to one. it was... easy. amazingly, marcus was rather sucky. like he is normally. oh well. then david koh came along and joined them. no bigg diff, thrashed them 2-0. Just as i was preparing for another round of thrashing ^^ , the acs and ri people arrived. so we played ri versus the rest. needless to say, they were like super pro but we kept them at bay and i played a magnificent corner. to tell the truth, it was rather lucky as i just whacked it and it flew beautifully... pity marcus didn't score. i netted one more goal to get a double hat trick before slacking. all along, it turned out that the girls ( yi kai zoe samantha theresa ) had been watching. just then, along came chermaine. and hui shi and shao wen and gloria.

chermaine as usual did the " im really cool" stuff with sammi like acting cool and looking at us play with that kind of guai guai look. lol... then in the end she went off with her NY frens to shop or something. they made her say bye to every boy starting with me though. but it was rather okay...

me phang hiippy and yi jun set off to watch Constantine/Racing Stripes. Ms Ong was suppossed to tag along but she got ripped off by a cheapo handphone dealer and was too pissed to come. so we happily took a 61 and went off. i slept a bit and drank up hiippy's and phang's slurpee's! got a slight tummyache after tt =(

we went off and queue up for tix to constantine. as we bought four, we tried to reach zoo to ask her if she wanted but nooooooooooooooooo, she didnt answer. so we just went all the way down and as we were going to eat lunch, she called. and wanted to watc. so we went up again. and this is where it all began... *dreamy look and pictures start floating in with a white haze around them*

first, we queued and found out that there were no seats next to our current seats. so sadly, we tried to ask Zoe if she would mind sitting by herself. guess what? no answer again! so we were stuck. just then, a brilliant idea crept into my mind. sell our tix and go watch another show! pahng was damn pissed and said " joseph..." in his im gonna kick your balls voice. well, me and yi jun wanted our cash back so we approached a group of youngsters to sell our tickets. horror of horrors, they only wanted three tix. but three is better than zero, so after bargaining, we settled for $7.50 per tix. guess what? they gave us 5 bucks extra haha serves them right. but phang still wasnt paid yet. and he was pissed.

so i had to walk around with one increasingly crumpled ticket trying to sell it desperately to people. like most of them were couples and lovebirds and stuff and so it was hard. many said " maybe" and many went off buying from the cinema place when they could have bought from me. Phang got more and more pissed and i got more and more worried. just at tt moment, i tried one last time. and guess what? tt guy bought it! and i got $4 extra... =) so everyone except Phang was happy. and we began to go home. but we met Zoe on the way and Phang twisted everything and tried to blame me but everyone knows he's a bitch so ya...

went home and prepared for dinner at grandma's place. Whee... when we reached there there was plenty of yummy food and i was like " gimme tt! " cuz i hadnt eaten a thing. then the satay rocked and the bee hoon rocked and so did the abalone and the ba kwa. mmmm... only thing i missed was the past three years of KFC. oh well less fats. then eunice came! haha smsed zoe about eunice and this show we were watching called rat race which totally rocked. i have the vcd ask if you want... might show it for class bonding movie =) sure laugh one...

then we played sparklers and pop pop thingys then we set fire to boxes and newspapers and there was a lot of ash then we set fire to noisy sparklers... ten at a go lol my cuz was frightened beyond belief. then after cleaning up, i got to carry my uber cute 4 year old cousin up the stairs. and he was really well behaved cuz he was scared of the dark stairs in the back alley we were using. haha so fun... he was a bit heavy but ok la...

we went home rather late and i talked quite a lot to eunice and told a few jokes. but i feel she has changed through secondary school. its not exactly describable but... you can feel its. she's more independent now, less shy and conservative.

is that good? aiyoh so much to blog about shall blog tomorrow. i've been sitting here for like 40 mins typing all this out non stop.

whee happy lunar new year kthnxbye >.<

screw my brother.

2005-02-05T20:23:00.000-08:00

i am very pissed. very very pissed. i did not intend to blog. but i am pissed and so i shall. he went and read my SMS again. wtf. can't he respect my privacy? somemore go and show my aprents... then another interrogation session. my brother sucks. always fighting with me getting me into to trouble. im pissed. complains about me screwing up my life.

oh well on the brighter side. i feel like no one's reading my blog except ho. and i read his blog too... i find ho a rilli good fren and i totally disagree with what he says on his blog abt him being loser and stupid. he's a really smart guy and he can achieve great hings if he only believes in himself. so there.

ermermerm kthnxbye.

Your label is the Nice girl/guy. You tend to care
for others over yourself. However, many people
appreciate your caring side and would rather
stick by you than hurt you. But, there is a
downside. Some tend to abuse your kindness and
take advantage of you. You always try to see
the good in everyone and try not to hate.
Also, you have sharp insight and a great
personality. Calm, serene, and understanding,
you make a worthy friend and a valuble ally to
people in need. Don't change your sweet
nature, your constant being-there can save a
life.

I suggest your go into a field that
centers around working with others such as a
doctor, baby-sitter, psychologist, lifeguard,
or Teacher. If none of these occupations
interest you, it is okay then. I am sure that
there are plenty of oppertunities out there for
you.

What type of teenager are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.

What kind of kiss are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

PASSIONATE LOVER. You love to love, always looking
for a relationship. You cannot live without it.
Your lover must be passionate and you want
that you and your partner melt into each other.
He/She should not try to take the domination .
You dont want a relationship without passion,
and the sexuality plays a big part. The first
moment you meet him/her is one of the most
important. There has to be something between
you , you cannot explain. From the first moment
on everything must fix. But when this passion
disappears you disappear to. For you it is
better to leave than to see your love
restrained.

PLEASE VOTE, I want to know what you think about my
quiz, I worked hard on it.You can always
message me or tell me how I can improve that
quiz. Ill sure write back.

Your Hidden Power Is Water

You have a rather calm soul, but when tempted will get pissed off at those who bug you. You do whatever you can in your powers to help those of your allies and have a okay taste for human kind, but you find them rather annoying on occasions.

Gem Stone: Saphire, Eye Color:Ice Blue,Hair Color:Dark Blue that's long that goes to your waist.

Quote:If you wait for me Then I'll come for you. Although I've travelled far, I always hold a place for you In my heart. If you think of me, If you miss me once in a while, Then I'll return to you. I'll return and fill that space in your heart

You're a very bubbly, happy, caring person. You
love to be with your friends and you love
making them happy. Your always willing to bend
over backwards to help someone in need even if
you don,t know them. Plus you love making new
friends, which is why your always surrounded by
people. Remember though sometimes you need to
concentrate on your work, you tend to not pay
attention and can be rather spacey. Also
remember to do things for yourself sometimes
and don,t let people take advantage of your
giving nature. Check out my new YYH Series ~A

Whats Your Personality(with PICS)
brought to you by Quizilla

Your element is Air: Carefree, lovable, fun and
childish. Arent you cute! Your just full of
childhood spunk and happiness! Hey who said
being young was a bad thing? You have a keen
understanding of whats good in life and choose
to remain happy rather than get too upset over
things. Life is fun, who wants to be troubled
by grown-up problems? Being as capable of love
as you are you will make a wonderful parent if
and when you choose to grow up. Love is a
mystery because you only want friends not love
interests, games are better than relationships
with the opposite sex. You have what everyone
is searching for, that so called 'fountain of
youth' deep inside. You can come across as
naive and childish at times. But who cares what
they think, lets go play tag!

.:-|What is your true element?|-:. -With Anime Pictures and detailed answers-
brought to you by Quizilla

You are most like Robin! A leader and fearless by
nature, you tend to dive straight into
something without thinking. You have a hard
time trusting your friends sometimes and you
are extremely serious when you have to. You
don't like being compared to someone you are a
rival with and sometimes your temper gets the
best of you. Out of all of your friends you
might be the one who dreams to be leader or is
the leader. Whatever the reason sometimes you
need to look before you leap.

Which Teen Titans Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

In your eyes, people see shards of ice
everywhere... You are cold and distant, pushing
away people that love you and truely care for
you! You want to be able to reach out and love
them but... You can't for some reason... You're
just too.... You :P Underneath that cold
exterior lies a warm, happy soul that wants to
let loose and have fun! Your sanctuary would
probably be anywhere up high where you can look
down on life below you, like the roof of an
apartment building... Your eyes resemble a
saddened, crestfallen person seeking out
attention, but doesn't know how to handle it.
However, you do find comfort from your friends,
they're always there for you, and they know the
REAL you :) Even though you do seem rather
cold, you can be very protective over something
you truely believe in or love. Let go of that
"tough" rep and just be you! It's
impossible to live life without some fun and
love ^-^

guess what?

i dont care.

Why All This?

2005-01-24T06:06:00.000-08:00

Sigh. Sometimes i just feel like its impossible, that i cant achieve what i've set out to do. It just seems so hopeless. I've tried, and i've been distracted and i may not have done as well as others and i maay not always be a perfect role model or someone who did everything right but I TRIED damnit. And it doesn't help when certain people can only offer negative comments and just put me down time and again. Even when i've done somehthing right they could just shut up but no... they have to crap up somemore shit.

Yes, im crappy im irritating im lousy at math im short im dumb i look like crap WHATEVER. Do you have to continously rub it in? im trying so hard can't you see? im getting distracted along the way by so many things its true but im human see? im not perfect like [ jeremy yongquan guan yu ] but hell, im trying. chairman wasnt easy. i never said it was. but cant you just give me this chance? this chance to try? its not like im perfect. so they are. but im not.

finally...

2004-12-22T01:18:00.000-08:00

hahah i havent benn blogging for so long so here's a four thousand word entry about my holiday haha happy reading =)

My Take on the PaNgam Trip 2004

As I awoke sleepily with more than a hint of reluctance, groggy eyes threatening to close any moment, I dragged myself out of bed. Why this ungodly hour? With that question, the cobwebs in my brain melted away into nothingness at I remembered. Today was THE day! I was finally going to have a long awaited holiday! Shrugging off the remaining shackles that bound me to my bed, I dashed off to wash up as my parents stared in disbelief…

I whistled to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain” as I pranced round the airport terminal waiting for my parents to book their tickets. The other eight families were already there and were waiting for us to have a quick breakfast before we set off for Thailand. Once we were done, we headed off to the airport canteen and sampled some of the bean curd soup there. As we were digging in heartily, an announcement was heard. “All Passengers boarding Tiger Airways for Bangkok Please Check in Now.” With that, we hurriedly polished off the last of the bean curd before grabbing our luggage and rushing off. To the average person at the airport, we must have looked quite a comical sight as forty of us complete with adults and children lugged heavy suitcases at the fastest speed possible. But finally, we made it just as the gates opened to let the passengers in…

It was relaxing to just sit there chatting with my friends or just take a nap, or even watch the clouds roll by, thinking of what I could do when I had reached Thailand. The three short hours the journey took just sprouted wings and flew by as the plane landed. As we lined up at the immigration counter and prepared to collect our luggage, I had already planned out what I would be doing in my free time. Playing games with friends? Exploring my home for the next few days? Getting terrific bargains on branded goods? “All these and much, much more…” I thought to myself.

I whistled yet another happy tune as I relaxed on the huge bus that had been hired for us. I must admit I was immensely surprised when I saw the plush, big and comfortable bus. I had expected a small van or a little bus at the most. But a two storey bus complete with television and three couches? I was in heaven. All of us kids were playing, reading, chatting and just being excited while the adults, over exhausted from lack of sleep and from keeping up with us, were taking what they call a ‘power nap’. Sadly for them, it was not to last long.

We stopped at a restaurant to sample some of the local cuisine, our stomachs grumbling from the two hour bus ride. Thailand is much bigger than Singapore, we thought to ourselves as we sat down at the table. The dishes served were mainly consisting of seafood, which led my brother to proclaim his dislike for seafood with gusto. My mother took pains to convince him to sample the fried rice. But it was not to be. With his first mouthful, he spat it out and screamed. “Insect! Wah lau so unhygienic!!! I don’t want to eat anymore…” And from then on, no amount of persuasion would move him, not even for ice-cream.

After all that had transpired, we were glad to hear that we were finally heading to our mountain resort to relax and unwind. When we reached our new home, PaNgam, we were surprised at the warm reception we received. They served us a ‘herb’ which tasted suspiciously like bird’s nest, delicious when chilled. They had a huge garden with huge rocks which we children proceeded to climb about on. A swing added a rustic effect to it all and the main building was far more modernized than we had expected. With these in mind, we had already developed high expectations of our room and the rest of the trip. The two owners, Mr A and Mr B were very successful. They owned a computer company and a hypermarket and were renowned in the area.

We were not disappointed. The room was made mostly of wood to give it a “close to nature” feeling. It was well furnished with two large beds per room, and a bathroom with a tree trunk design and pebbles adorning the floor. To my surprise, there was even a water heater! There was a lovely view of the surrounding forest and the air was fresh and clean. We ‘tested’ the beds for a few minutes before taking a quick shower. I then headed off with our neighbors, the Chan family for dinner at the campsite. It was served buffet style, with plenty for all. Dinner progressed slowly as everyone just enjoyed the lack of pressure to meet deadlines. It was a holiday after all. After dinner, a few of us took a slow stroll around the resort admiring the stillness and tranquility.

Before long, they called us back to the campsite. It was a welcome ceremony – the ‘fire dance’. Approximately twenty of the staff there donned Indian costumes and paraded round. Suddenly, one of them wielding a stick set on fire spat out a liquid which burned when it touched the fire, lighting up the whole place. Simultaneously, the other nineteen of them did the same. The heat was so intense I could feel it from five meters away. Next, A and B twirled fire sticks back and forth in a dazzling display of control and skill as some others toyed around with metal chains lighted on one end. As the ceremony came to an end, we all clapped loudly and cheered. By this time, we were all tired and hence we proceeded to retreat to our rooms for a good night sleep. As I lay down, I thought to myself, “Tomorrow’s gonna be great!” …

I woke up in the morning to hear the birds chirping gaily in the trees. For a moment, I wondered where I was. Then I remembered it all, the activities we had had the past night and so on. I leapt out of bed to greet the rising sun while my brother slept on peacefully. It was just… different from Singapore. A better kind of different.

After washing up and lugging my brother out of bed, I went off for breakfast. The eating place was situated on the second floor of the main building, a place we would soon be familiarized with. The food was delicious to our hungry stomachs but not as good as the day before. The sheer amount of food made up for it however. I took three bowls of cereal, something I have never done before. It was indeed plentiful. After a filling breakfast, we gathered together at a small open-air meeting place at the first level for a meeting before we went about the pre-arranged activities. The adults gave us kids a brief briefing before we split up into two groups and proceeded to our stations. I was in Group Two and hence went off to the Flying Fox.

I had high expectations of a thrilling ride but alas, it was not to be. In my opinion, though many may disagree, it was too tame to provide any excitement. You rode from a platform to another, passing through the aforementioned garden and if you had a long reach, you could even pluck fruits from the low hanging trees. The scenery was what on could see without utilizing the Flying Fox, and hence was nothing great. We did some training for tomorrow’s abseiling and learned a few pointers and tips here and there from the instructor, Mr A. Once our group was done, we went off to the rock climbing station.

My good friend Leroy had already attempted it and succeeded with ease and hence I was determined to complete it even if the person below had to pull me up all the way. After donning safety gear and specially modified shoes, I checked with my belayer to see if he was ready. When he gave the thumbs up sign, I started climbing. The first part was relatively easy as the rocks were close together and I made much headway with no struggle. Without knowing it, I had reached the center, the part where the entire rock face jutted out at an angle making it a challenge to be undertaken. I took a deep breath and reached for the closest rock with confidence. It was shattered when I discovered I couldn’t reach! I berated myself for not growing longer fingers at that time. Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead as I struggled to maintain a positive outlook. I tried numerous ways and means to reach the rock, even going to the extent of swinging back and forth on the rope.

No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t do it. I swallowed my pride and called out below, “Help! Could someone pull me up?” I was thoroughly amazed at the response. My family and friends rushed over to help and I was soon comfortably within reach of that rock that seemed so insurmountable a few moments ago. Only then did I realize the importance of support and family. However, I had not truly appreciated their hard work yet. After I came down, I rushed to thank them for what they had done and grabbed a quick bite from the nearby snack counter. As I munched happily on a syrup-drenched pancake, my dad called for me to help pull him up. I rushed over and began to pull with all my strength, even using my body weight to weigh down the rope. I looked up in anticipation, expecting him to have already reached the top. He had barely moved at all. Frustrated, I called the others over to help. Slowly, step by step, grueling bit by grueling bit, we pulled him to the top. And then, only then did I realize how hard it had been.

After a quick debrief, we headed off for lunch at the second floor again. It was satisfying to be able to eat in the knowledge that we had earned our meal through the morning’s trying activities. Everyone ate heartily and with gusto, and people relating their ‘exploits’ and ‘adventures’ to willing listeners could be heard all over. After lunch, I headed off to the garden with Leroy and a few of the small kids to play with our new pastime – the Styrofoam aeroplane. It is hard to describe why we were so fascinated with it but once Mr B showed it to us, the more affluent ones went off to buy one of their own while the more prudent ones tried out the test plane instead. It was relaxing and exhilarating at the same time just watching it fly and bragging about the ‘perfect landing’ to another. When we lay exhausted on the grass just taking in the fresh air and admiring scenery, the adults were also finished with their idle chit-chat and hence came along one by one to pick us up and bring us to our lodges for a siesta to prepare us for the afternoon activities.

Time flew by as we had a quick change of clothes, a mental preparation, then off we went. Leroy’s dad, unconventional as always, had already scouted out the area before hand and led us through a shortcut to the meeting place, a large lake where the activities were going to be held. We donned our lifejackets in a jiffy and headed down to the edge of the lake for a quick briefing and demonstration by the staff. Once they were done, we were all raring to go. The first station was a rope bridge across the water which the whole family had to complete at a go. I led the way with my brother, my mom and finally my dad following behind. I found the task easily accomplished and soon crossed in no time at all. However, my parents found it a chore as they continuously struggled to get across. With some help from my brother and I as we held the rope straight, they made it across.

The next station consisted of a few foam mats placed on the water to allow us to cross to another wooden floating platform. I ran across afraid that it might sink while my brother followed closely behind. My mom came next. As she stepped on the second platform, her left leg slipped and she fell on it, causing a huge blue black. My dad rushed to help her and almost made the entire mat sink with their combined weight. Slowly but surely, she got up and made her way across. This was not the end of the matter however. We followed up at the next station by pulling ourselves across the river on a raft. It was the easiest of the activities so far. Halfway, they ordered us to jump off and swim until we reached the shore. We did so and scrambled up the side using a wooden ladder, eager to get away from the muddy waters. Running along a small path, we reached the Flying Fox with a twist – it was over the water. With a deep breath, I stepped up to the platform, grabbed tightly onto the handle and swung out over the surface of the lake. The rush of adrenaline that followed made me yell out loud. When the Flying Fox stopped halfway, we were supposed to jump off.

With a yell and a splash, I plunged into the cold water and spluttered about while getting my bearings. I looked up to see my little brother heading straight for me! I immediately submerged myself and swam away rapidly. In a few seconds, I surfaced coughing and choking on the water. As I wiped the water off my eyes and opened them, a huge splash greeted me, making me cough and splutter all over again. After I finally got myself ‘operational’ again, we swam to the shore for the final challenge – the leap from the three storey high platform. The climbs up through the rope ladder hurt the bare feet of the climber and were a challenge themselves. When I reached the top, I took a glance down and wished I hadn’t. I braced myself and with a running jump, I leapt off the platform. It seemed so fast at the start that I curled myself up. But soon when I realized I hadn’t hit yet I looked down. Bad choice. With a loud splash and a mini tidal wave, I hit the water face first. And believe me, that HURT.

After picking the pieces of myself out of the water, I dragged my self on shore hurting all over. Just as I was feeling a little better, I spotted the Yaps, another family, heading across the rope bridge for another try. I, never losing out, decided to follow suit. Halfway, it was getting cramped so I just dived into the water and swam there. The rest of them followed suit and the adults were laughing their heads off at that sight. Soon, we had all reached and proceeded to cross the mats – all at a go. The mats bobbed dangerously and almost sank under our weight but we dashed on being the young energetic boys we are. At the raft part, we were pulling ourselves across happily when suddenly we decided to jump off yet again and swim across. There was a lot of splashing and laughter that day. We re-did the course a few times, always avoiding the jump. Once was enough…

After a good long wash and a short rest, we all felt refreshed and cleansed from the muddy and smelly river water. On the way back we had been joking about Leroy being called G-Roy short for G-String Leroy, another long story. Needless to say, poor Leroy( G-Roy?) was turning red all over so we stopped before he got too embarrassed. This incident was to follow him for the rest of the camp and I still laugh when I think of G-Roy.

Dinner soon followed and we had a barbecue by the stars. Sounds appetizing? The steak was the best part. As for the rest, the fries were soggy, the soup was cold, and the spaghetti was mediocre at best. I ate a quick meal with Leroy just to fill my stomach before we explored the tents – our choice of lodging for the night. It was rather large and could fit a family of four. There was a thick mattress and a blanket and pillows, making for a comfortable camping experience. After everyone had finished dinner, the adults headed to the main place for some entertainment while the kids gathered for a campfire.

They told stories for a while but we started getting restless and fidgety. We could tell they were frustrated by the way they kept sighing loudly. Finally, one of the older kids in charge decided it was time to start the games. We were divided into three groups and play a series of three games. The first one was a screaming contest and with all kids in our group, we won that easily. The next one was a ‘identify your shoe ’ competition. Our group tried to cheat but alas, we were caught. And conveniently placed last. Next was a game called ‘7 – Up’. Our group, due to the lack of older kids, lost horribly with the younger kids unable to do their timestable. Finally our group, Charlie, lost. As a horrible and embarrassing forfeit, we had to do the infamous ‘ Banana Dance ’.

It went something like this – “ Bananas of the World Unite! Palms Together! Elbows Together! Knees Together! Chop Chop Banana, Chop Chop! Shake Shake Banana, Shake Shake! Fry Fry Banana, Fry Fry! Banana… NA!” By the time we had finished it, the other were laughing till they cried…

After the games were over, we had our free time. We proceeded to the fire where we played with the coals and poured soft drinks on it. It may sound childish thinking back, but it was fun. There was this older girl called Su Ting who had cricket phobia. Another of the boys called Lance caught a cricket a planted it on her. The reaction was explosive. She jumped up and screamed and ran around and went to hide with one of the older boys. We all laughed at the sight of her running all around. Mr Eng Lock came over for a while and taught us the different star formations. Hence, the rest of the evening was spent watching stars. After we were all bored, Mr A and Mr B came up with the idea of a night-hike. After taking our trusty sticks, we left. The jungle was dark at night and we could hear wild animals and we were right next to the National Park where they could roam free. The guides showed us a few fireflies and we almost caught one but it flew away. We saw a group of bats flying past and a few of the girls screamed when they heard an animal emit a strange noise similar to that of a tiger.

After the activities of the day and all the tiring things that had transpired, we were only too glad to return to our tent for a peaceful sleep. I shared a tent with Leroy and Sharlene and there was a lot of room for us to roll around. Leroy, restless, began to find fun in banging himself into the side of the tent. Sharlene soon followed suit and I, not wishing to lose out in the fun, began bumping about too. It was fun and the tent rocked from side to side and our neighbouring tent, the Heng Family had an amusing time watching us. Halfway through, my brother came and disturbed us. Leroy and Sharlene, too caught up, decided to ram the tent to make him go away. As their combined weight hit the tent, it collapsed! Leroy and Sharlene were stunned and almost freaked out. My brother just ran away and told his friends. Leroy scrambled out of the tent in shock and began to try and fix it. After some time, he made it stand up without falling. But, there was a gaping hole in the tent. Unable to do anything more, we all fell asleep. The night passed peacefully without any disturbance except when in the middle of the night, Sharlene awoke to the call of nature and asked Leroy to accompany her. I was awoken and went off first while Leroy put on his jacket to ward off the cold. When we had returned, Leroy was still putting it on! I could not help but laugh at the absurdity of the matter.

The next morning, we awoke fresh and eagerly anticipating the activities planned out for us. Firstly, we had a hearty breakfast while we joked about the camping experience we had had. Leroy’s parents were shocked to hear that he had spoilt the tent but nothing came out of it. After we were done, we headed for a briefing on the abseiling that was to be held soon. We were again split into two groups and my Group, Group One, consisted of my family, Lance’s Family, Doctor Jason’s Family and Doctor John’s Family. We set off in a jeep that took us to the cliff where we were going to abseil from, laughing and talking merrily all the way. When we reached there, the climb down the mountain was amazingly steep and there were like big rocks all over but they were quite slippery so we had a hard time getting down. When we got there, we had a quick briefing and donned safety gear once again before we abseiled down. Doctor Jason went first so he could take shots of his family while I readied myself. Next went Joseph, Doctor Jason’s son who was like five years younger than me. After watching him disappear down the surface of the cliff, I put on my harness, buckled it tight and headed down. There were numerous guides positioned at different stations and it was fun and exhilarating jumping down.

When I had reached the bottom, I proceeded to chat with the two who had already arrived before me and we exchanged tips and pointers. The rest followed after and soon, we had all assembled at the bottom. After a quick re-organization, we headed back up. The road up was tougher and we slipped quite a few times but no one was seriously injured. When we had reached base camp at the top, we all enjoyed a refreshing bottle of cold water while we awaited the arrival of the rest. When they had arrived, we hopped onto the truck and off we went. On the way back, we saw a few stray dogs and even passed by a chicken farm. Everyone laughed when Doctor Jason held on to Doctor John’s belt and pretended that it was a safety belt. When the families had reached the resort again, we were treated to a refreshing plate of watermelon and finished it in no time at all. The families split up to plan for the performance at night where each family had to put up a skit. After we were done with ours, with me as both director and actor, we went to take a look at how the other families were getting on. By this time, the other group had returned from the abseiling and we all gathered at the same old place for a quiet repast.

Once we had finished dining, a brief slideshow of us abseiling was shown and we all laughed as we relieved those moments. When it was nearing three in the afternoon, we proceeded to the campsite where the rope challenge had been set up for us. There were eight stations altogether and we were once again split into groups before we headed off. Our first station was the balancing log in which you had to balance your team members out evenly on a log so that it would stay balanced for ten seconds. We accomplished this without much difficulty and proceeded to the next one, the swaying log. In this activity we had to hold the log steady while a team member crossed. There were many bruised fingers and injuries but we all managed. Next was the Tarzan challenge in which we all crossed a rope bridge high up in the air while holding on to dangling ropes to keep balance. It was a little scary but the part where we jumped down was enjoyed by everyone. Next was the jump from the log in which we climbed up a series of rungs to the top of a one storey high pole and jumped down while a person below lowered you.

After accomplishing all these, we proceeded for some sandwiches and refreshments before we proceeded to the next station. It was a lower version of the Tarzan challenge and we all crossed it without apparent difficulty. Next came one of the most challenging, the Spider. Four people would hold ropes attached to another group member and try to maintain equal force on each of the ropes to keep the member balanced while he/she walked across a rope. It was difficult and required not only strength but also quick reflexes. Leroy’s dad had a huge cut on his leg when he fell but other than that everything went well. Finally, we were at the last station. This required one to fall down backwards from a high pole and let his/her group members catch and carry him/her through a series of obstacles. I felt slightly apprehensive as I climbed up but I placed my faith in my group members and sure enough, they did not disappoint me. After these activities, we gathered and had a feedback session before we headed for dinner.

As everyone was relaxing after dinner. Uncle Eng Lock called for us to gather. This was the start of the family talent time. The Heng family went first, performing a skit about filial piety. When they were done, they sang a song and everyone clapped at their effort. Next came our family. I, the comedian, had designed a skit with a moral that would make people laugh and sure enough, everyone did to a large extent. The other families followed after with numerous skits being performed and one even had a scene where they flung lingerie out from behind a curtain. After the prizes had been given out, we all retired to our room as we would be leaving the next day. The day’s activities had tired me out and I soon feel into deep slumber…

I awoke feeling refreshed and washed my face before heading off to partake in what would be my last meal there. As the children busied themselves with eating, the adults gathered downstairs to choose photos as memoirs. When we were done, it was their turn to eat breakfast while we played with our planes for the last time. As we packed our bags and prepared to go, I could not help but feel regretful that we had to leave. As the bus turned round the corner, we were pleasantly surprised that the whole team of workers had lined up to wave goodbye. As the bus drove by, they continued waving till we were out of sight. Such was their hospitality. Even as I left, I knew that the happy memories would be a part of me…forever.

2004-11-02T22:32:00.000-08:00

the whole of this morning, i've been faithfully keeping up with the Bush Kerry residential Campaign. According to the latest Yah00! update at 2.35 p.m., Bush is leading 249 to 221, with bush leading by 3% in Ohio, and almost sure to win in Alaska with his 60%. Kerry however is leading in , but his chances of winning get slimmer as Ohio cast their votes. Personally, i predict a Bush Win by at least 10 points. Ohio is sorta the largest one left... and Bush is winning so.

haha wow... just want to share this testimony of my dad's fren... (note: has religious connotations)

Okay this 65 year old name is Morris. Okay... so he is not a believer. His relatives wanted him to go to this revival meeting so he followed. There, the pastor picked him out while he was ministering to other people. First, he asked the cousin to stand up then correctly identified their ages. Secondly, he asked his wife to stand up then said that she was the only working one. Whcih was true. Then finally, he asked Morris to stand up. First, he said" you have a pain in the back" True. Then, " you have one leg longer than the other and its causes you pain" True. finally, he said" your stomach is inflicted with pian. god wants to heal you." amazingly, Morris had just contracted stomach cancer a few days ago and hadn't told anyone! AMAZING... The Morris thought" how cant this be possible? i don't believe it..." just as he thought that, the guy said " Do NOT doubt!" haha poor morris was shocked.

then his company did something illegal. Another company, run by his best fren of 40 years! found out. He went to his fren and begged him not to tell but his fren did. Morris business collapsed and he went bankrupt. After he regained his finances, he was still angry with his fren(like duh) but he knew he shld forgive. So what he said was:" god, if i see him then only will i forgive." just at that moment, the doorbell rang. No, it wasn't his fren but his neighbour invitng him for coffee. so he went down to the coffeeshop. And guess who he saw? hah yes now it was his fren.

lol what a funny testimony... haha God works wonders. Today went for choir(yes choir... :@) tryouts dragged by yq... they say im alto. ALTO? am i that high? i thot i was lower than Phang. Okay so its like : Bass, Tenor, Alto, Soprano. im second highest leh! wahahax. now have a bad sore throat from singing Sanctus. Sigh...

So long haven’t blogged… sigh. I’m still not over the loss of Maia from Singapore Idol… now Olinda is my only solace. Christopher? A pile of crap nonetheless. I blame it on him, for it was him who should have exited. Sylvester is not to blame. Perhaps ChrisyPOO was trying to sabotage him. Man… I am so pissed. All those stupid retarded blind idiots who vote for Christopher just because of his looks? He doesn’t even look that good and his singing is worse than my teacher dragging her nails on the blackboard (which is saying a lot…)

Oh well. It’s been fun these few days preparing for the GEB PESA… hope I can represent my school to do it proud. Yet I just can’t shake this feeling of impending doom. Maybe Mr Cheng has influenced me more than I can tell. Now im called Nat-Seph by the other representatives because my script is gopped from Nat. haha cute guy with IQ of 154! (p.s. he is really cute when I discover how to upload pics from handphone onto com he will be there ^^ ) Nice pleasant script about this fire thingy… fire of ideas I think. Am restricting my self to memorise it within two hours from now. Complete with hand actions. 100% accurate. Word for Word. And yet im here blogging..sigh.

But it was really fun lar… getting to hang out with these guys like Jeremy, Yq, Luey Chun, Clemmy, And even Phang and David. I never thot David and I could ever talk to each other without quarelling but somehow this training has built up a sense of camaraderie between us. I feel that we are all equally supportive of each other(even Phang!) and that the ardous training has helped us bond. The SSB played during our spare time helped a lot too =)

I’ve been down with a cough and a slight fever the past few days. I suppose the other contestants didn’t really notice due to the fact that im good at camouflaging(except when I tell them of course) Haha I pride my self on my bullshitting ability even more when I discovered it helps me

Math... Problematica

2004-10-19T06:27:00.000-07:00

sigh. now with a math failure under my belt, hopes of going to the chalet are rapidly diminishing.I knew i should have studied harder. But i am Very very pissed over a certain two marks. hence i shall blog about it. My oh so great and kind Math teacher, Wang Shu(real name kept secret for purposes unrevealed), minused two percious marks off my paper that made me the lowest in the whole GEP cohort of CHS. Smart...very smart. and guess why she minused it? because i answered like this:

a) blah blah blah b)blah blah

instead of :

a) blah
b) blah

what the #@$#$U*#$*#$*#$*#@$(#*@$ is her problem lor? i talk a little she also bu shuang call me go stand outside class. I crap around also cannot. I fail in Term One she kay poh kay poh blackmark me...then now this? wth lorrrrrrrrrr.... TWO FREAKING MARKS just because of that ...i want to(quote from Edward) smack her face till it looks like her ass, shove her face up her butt etc.

-chill dude-

okay im okay. the above comments were purely...whatever man.

night!

2004-09-18T07:44:00.000-07:00

wow... like i only intended to blog once today but this event was so spookayy that i couldnt control meself...

ok here it goes: i was like ..went out with this church friend of mine for dinner because his parents went for this talk thingy. as the story goes, after dinner we went to Clementi, Big Bookshop to buy my *NEW* table tennis bat as the old one was screwed up. after that , i went to buy the Math textbook that my Math teacher had recommended. once i was done, i went to the lift to wait for my mum to finish looking through the dictionary display. This father and son got into the lift and then his little brother rushed in carrying a blue, Nike, squirt water bottle. Similar to my BROTHER's. i was like " hahax maybe that guy stole your waterbottle Josh". When he believed me and started searching aorund, i was laughing like mad.

he went and asked my mum :" ma where is my waterbottle?" she pointed at a spot nearby. it was perfectly reasonable... except for the fact that the spot was empty. Slowly, it dawned upon me that maybe that guy had stolen my brother's waterbottle!( slow aint it?)

i was like " wtf hurry lets use the stairs!" i rushed down with my brother and my friend. we like searched frantically for that guy... but sad lorrrrrrrrrrr. he probably got into a Rolls Royce and drove away. LoSeR.

hmmm ok mr thief if u read my blog here goes: untill the day u return the water bottle to my brother or buy a new one for him, your mouth will be stuck to your behind and u will have non-stop diahorrea. also, you will be heated from below at 100 degrees Celsius and have -100 degrees Celsius cold air blown at you from above. Change at regular intervals.

hahax so there mr cheeseburger tofu boy. well gonna sleep now tomorrow im going to church to help out with the kiddies hahax have this cute twins never talk one... even sexier than hui shi and jocelyn hahax joking lar they are only 8.

Nitez... iRock!
