Mahjong anyone? I would like my pink IC too thank you!

Mahjong anyone? I would like my pink IC too thank you!

My gosh it's already the 28th and I have yet to do a post as promised. I really wonder
how some people actually can be so free to blog so often. I find it very tiring...

Anyway, Chinese New Year round the corner and many itchy backsides want to play mahjong
and so do I!! (Frankly, the only public holiday that is some what special and the one I look forward to anymore. National day? HAH! Christmas day? It's not about the presents.. New Year's eve countdown? Oh please, I rather get some sleep. CNY brings in the $$$$!!!)

I would really love to ORD now and you know have holidays till next Aug when I start school again. But then again, I can't complain about my NS life because seriously, I am so fortunate to stay out and have a nice working environment. You know lah huh, the grass always seems greener on the other side.

British banks are expecting massive debt repayments during the chinese new year period (Ang Pao collection better be good!!!) because the British economy is going to suffer with the upcoming mahjong games and numerous planned outings and what not. (And so much for me wanting to be more prudent with my money...)

Oh yes! On a superly random note, EVERYONE should watch the 7pm U channel Korean drama!! It's super good!! Every adulteress should end up like the one in the show! At least 20 episodes of DESRTUCTION!!! =D

Happy 2010!

2010-01-04T20:48:00.007+08:00

Happy 2010!

Muahahaha! Happy new year people!

Now that I can load pics on my blog once again, GET READY FOR MORE POSTS THIS YEAR!!

Yeah!!! The British are coming!!!

We have already crossed your borders and are ready to bombard you with new and exciting posts soon! (Like since when my blog not interesting one right....)

MAN

2009-08-24T20:54:00.000+08:00

MAN

Hi people, today I feel more MAN than usual. (Not that I am not la...) Why? It is because I played street soccer today and I scrapped my knees. (My first sports injury in around 2 years at least?) I'm not going to post a picture of my injury because it is disgusting and blogger is being smelly because I can't post a single picture on my blog...

On other news... I went to eat at the oh so famous Serangoon Gardens with Mr Tan for dinner last week. I tell you... food standards have PLUMMETED... yes. Serangoon Gardens is starting to lose its charm as a food paradise already....

We are never really satisfied eh?

2009-08-09T23:37:00.000+08:00

We are never really satisfied eh?

Just some stuff I thought about when I really just sit down to think. We really don't treasure what we have till we lose it. On top of that, we are a bunch of really ungrateful people.

For myself, sometimes I look at rich people and say to myself, "These people are so fortunate. Not like me, have to take bus and not get what I want." Then a soft gentle voice reminds me, "Bryan, don't complain. You have a roof over your head, you don't have to worry about your next meal, and you still can take the bus. Others can only DREAM of taking a bus and having the kinds of meals you consider disgusting and sad. Remember that God has blessed you with so much."

We always seem to compare with the people who are better off than us, and tend to forget that only 25% of the world's population live in the kind of standards which we too often take for granted.

This is something I thought which is so true:
When we were young we want to quickly grow up because all the adult things seem so fun, and all the adults get to do so much fun things like eating snacks whenever they want and staying up late, but as we grow older, we look in envy at children and wish that we don't grow older because their life is so carefree and fun.

Times have changed...

2009-07-14T21:06:00.012+08:00

Times have changed...

My upper study is leaving and soon I will be taking full responsibility of all the things that he used to be in charge of. My past one month plus in my new unit has really been great, thank God. And I have absolutely no right (or should I say nothing) to complain about. However, I have been rather slack with my work (but at least I still got everything done), and I have been feeling rather guilty. Especially after last sunday's sermon on "drawing the line". (Yes, DRAW THE LINE, aren't you Mr Ng Eng Chin fans going wild now...) I decided to ask God how I should conduct myself at work and this was what I got... "One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys." Proverbs 18:9. So yeah... Need to seriously change the way I've been doing things...

On a less sensitive topic, (I am sure all of you know that we shouldn't being saying certain things of certain organisations because certain people are watching. Not that I know who or what I am refering to actually...) I really love TYA! (Touch Young Arrows) It has really been such a great joy to teach kids and see the changes not only in their grades but also their behaviours and attitudes!

It has been wonderful serving with the volunteers at Serangoon club and they are really a bunch of fun loving people who serve with amazing passion for the kids!

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

Last but not least, I really want to thank God that my grandpa is already. Last saturday, my aunt and my family thought that he was really on the verge of leaving this earth, but praise be to God, he has made a full recovery and he is even more healthy than ever! He even taught me how to swim la exactly 12hours after I saw him weak and frail, saying that his time was up...

Food: Love or Obesession?

2009-06-08T20:31:00.003+08:00

Food: Love or Obesession?

What a rhetorical question of me to ask myself right? I am obviously OBSESSED with food. (I can relate almost anything to food. If you don't believe me, you can try me.) I am bored and it's been a while since I've blogged.

I really miss school days... But then again, just as Pri1-JC2 passed by like a flash, NS is surely going to end in a blink of an eye.

Even though I have quite a bit of free time now, I refuse to get a good computer game to play. Ever since I've been in JC 1, I have realised that computer games are really quite a waste of time. Especially ever since I have entered army, I realised that there is so much more to life than myself and my own happiness. I feel like some old man now lah. So many people that I want to meet up with but so little time. (Hmm... this is like so unrelated to the title right?)

I don't feel like blogging anymore bye!

Revenge of the fats

2009-05-02T10:01:00.018+08:00

Revenge of the fats

"Me in Fried Rice Paradise!"

Hello people, it's been a long time since I have blogged. Well, there is nothing really much to blog about nowadays and even there were stuff to blog about, I either have no time, no mood or I cannot blog about it. So do pardon the serious lack of posts.

I am sure most of you have heard of me boasting that I lost 10kg while in BMT, however, things have changed ever since I entered airforce school. The food there is wonderful and it really is like going through jc again because it's lessons from 8am to 5.30pm. So yeah, add good food, sitting around in the air con classroom, equals PROSPERITY!

In addition, I have been having good food every weekend.... Here is some evidence...

Evidence #1: Birthday dinner with Serangoon Club folks. Fried Tofu, Prawn Paste Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, Fried Omellete, Fried Rice (refer to first picture of post), almond jelly and...

Evidence #2: Chocolate birthday cake

Evidence #3: Buffet style home cooked meals due to my "More than enough food is always better than not enough food" mindset.

Evidence #4: Family birthday meals. I went for Beef Steak at Swissotel Hotel with my dad last week, went to eat at SAF Yacht Club & Sake Sushi with my aunt & mum. On top of that, my aunt who is a super good cook made the tiramisu featured above!

Evidence #5: High tea and tea breaks. I had high tea with Sharon and Saran at Crystal Jade yesterday and I ordered FRIED RICE!! (My favourite if you do not know.) On top of that, I have 2 tea breaks (morning & afternoon) in camp, on top of the 3 meals provided. It's getting kinda scary don't you think?

Evidence #6: Craving for fried food. Ok, it's nothing new, but the craving is back full force and almost all the food sold in air force school is fried. So it is going to be a big happy new year to my hopes of losing weight.

With the above evidence, I conclude that the defendant Bryan Yam Yew Chung, IC number blah blah blah, guilty of being extremely fat. (Like DUH...) He will be sentenced to physical activities at least 5 times a week.

The defendant declined to comment on the verdict by the Health Court on the day itself, but later said that he would abide by the sentence.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is blindingly obvious that I have gone off the deep end! Hooooray!!!

On a more retarded note, two weeks ago, I declared that there would be "Courtesty & Kindness" Week in my course in camp.

WARNING EXTREME BULLSHIT AHEAD. EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE BELOW ARE JUST MY OWN RETARDED IDEAS THAT I SHARED WITH MY COURSE MATES AND SINCE I THOUGHT THEY WERE SO RETARDED AND FUNNY, I THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU TOO.

Of course guys being guys would not want to participate in something so stupid because it would mean not using vulgarities and being nice to one another. Being a nice person, I personally do not believe in forcing people to take part in the campaign, but I believe in gently coercing people to take part in this very beneficial campaign.

To help me achieve my goal of getting everyone to take part, I set up the Encouragement Office and Conformity Office. The Encouragement Office will have armed officers on the ground where they would encourage people who are rude by beating them. The officers would say "Please Sir/Madam I need to beat you." and then proceed with a encouraging beating then end of with "Thank you, I hope you would take part in our campaign."

------------------------------------END OF BULLSHIT----------------------------------------

I can't tell you what the conformity officers do online because if people who do not know me read it, they will surely think I am some pyscho. So if you want to know, just ask me and I will tell you!

That's all for now people! I have to prepare for children's club now, Bye!

Oh the tragedy...

2009-03-18T21:16:00.007+08:00

Oh the tragedy...

Only this picture of Mrs Sim can show how upset I am now. It is a tragedy... TRAGEDY I tell you...

What is it you may ask. It is about the lost of:

1) Char Kway Teow Stall at Serangoon Gardens Market

When I passed by Serangoon Gardens Market on Monday on the way to school, to my shock and horror the Newton Circus Char Kway Teow Stall was replaced by some stupid nasi lemak stall. I tell you, it was so upsetting... Too bad my dear locker buddy couldn't get to have it when we went there yesterday. Thank God the chai tao kway (fried carrot cake) and wanton mee stall were still there, or else Serangoon Gardens would be so less attractive as a food hub.

2) The Shopping Centre at Serangoon Gardens

*No picture, but it is the building with the NTUC, Haarto, Cafe Cartel and Coffee Bean*

Another tragic loss of a wonderful place in Serangoon Gardens. The Haarto and Coffee Bean there were very nice places to sit and have a chat with friends. AND THEY HAD TO TAKE AWAY MY HAARTO ICE CREAM. THE SAVAGES!!! NOW WHERE DO I GO AND SATISFY MY CRAVING FOR VANILLA ICE CREAM!!!!

Seriously, they should all go and jump down a cliff or something. And how in the world can a housing estate in Singapore function without a NTUC or let alone a supermarket?? I mean like, that should be a crime right? The famous food hub of Serangoon Gardens doesn't have a supermarket? (Cold Storage Specialty doesn't count because it is just too small and over priced.)
3) The loss of my mahjong game today to my friend Yuan Feng

If I lost to anyone else it would be fine, but to HIM??!!?? Hahaha, it is just so disgraceful. Daniel Tan, Eugene and myself were playing with that con artist.

He dared to tell us, "Oh I have this curse where I win the first round and I will lose all the way."
After all the lies and decpetion, he won the most, or should I say the only winner at the end of the day. Bloody hell...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a brighter side, there also many things that I can be thankful for:

1) Breakfast with Stefanie and Jo-Lynn, Meeting up with Mdm Spoon my secondary school science tuition teacher with barker guys and today's mahjong game today

-Dim Sum breakfast at Thomson was super delicious and of course it was nice to sit and chit chat and catch up with the two girls. Too bad the shop didn't sell the non fried version of carrot cake which Crystal Jade has, or it would have been perfect. However, Dim Sum for breakfast is super meat packed, and that is going to help me go back to my "former glory" in term of weight.

-It was very nice to see Mdm Spoon again and to just sit at my old place at the table there was just so nostalgic. Though the "torture" table has been changed, the same chairs where we sat for 4 consecutive hours for tuition (2hours Chemistry, 2hours Physics) were still there.

-Mahjong with Daniel and the other two usual kakis were very fun. Everytime Daniel is there, He and I will just go mad.

2) Lunch with Grace yesterday

I finally recieved my christmas card she promised like after 10 million years. The wanton mee I had for lunch was oh so delicious that your soul will just fly out and come back. I really missed the wanton mee at Serangoon Gardens market. SUPER GOOD MAN, end of story.

3) Makan at Havelock Road and Ikea with Joshua Tan

Mr Tan was nice enough to follow me to Tiong Bahru to have lunch (Hainanese Pork Chop with Chicken Rice was super super heavenly) and then follow me to see the sinseh. (because of my stupid cough) After that, we walked around the shopping centre opposite Ikea looking at stuff and talking nonsense. Then we headed for Ikea for tea, which was 10 meatballs which we shared.

I think at the rate of good food I am eating, it is no doubt I will just grow fatter and die of a heart attack (which is kinda of worth it if it was for food, but I'm sure my family and friends will just spit on my dead body.) And yes Daniel, it is time for me to repent and stop eating so much. I mean after all, I should listen to the person who calls for Mc delivery for supper and orders a DOUBLE prosperity burger... You are such an inspiration to lose weight Daniel... SUCH AN INSPIRATION....

Ok that's enough nonsense for one day. Goodbye!

BMT is over!

2009-03-10T20:50:00.003+08:00

BMT is over!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, IT IS OVER!!! *throws confetti*

7 weeks have passed by like a flash, here I am still alive and slightly thinner. Best of all, I can look back and even laugh at my experience in BMT. This is because I have been blessed by God with wonderful commanders who are so understanding and caring. Best of all, my platoon does not have any major trouble makers so it is ok.

I can proudly declare that I have done these in BMT:

1) 2 Buddha claps (For punishment of course)
2) 30 push ups (5 of which are for punishment)
3) 0 km of route march (because I am excused)
4) 0 rounds of running (because I am excused)
5) Did not do IPPT [yes i am excused =)]
6) Did intensive area cleaning like 2-3 times a day (Can be a professional cleaner. Because PES C people cannot do much stuff, we are made to clean like there is no tomorrow.)
7) Went for field camp, 3D2N (Even though it was shorter than normal, it still was a horrifying and worst experience in the ENTIRE BMT)
8) Did not do a whole lot of other stuff (I am sure you know why by now.)
9) Made loads of new friends (And one of them is the Top A level student!!)

By now if you were in PES A or B, you must be cursing and swearing because my BMT was slack. But don't think I have forgotten that you guys keep taunting us when we march past you guys ah... You buggers...

If you are still unhappy, you can take comfort in the knowledge that I have gaurd duty tomorrow (even after POC) so yes laugh all you want, because I have been laughing a lot watching PES A and B people doing all their stuff while I am happily eating snacks in my bunk.

Ok, enough about army. Now for the sensitive topic of A levels...

"This picture so accurately describes how carefully I should talk about results."

I did quite ok, although I expected an A for H2 history. H1 Math was very unexpected, I thought a D was enough but ended up with an A, which is my one and only. I know many of my friends didn't do too well, and it's really heartbreaking to see them so sad and not being able to say or do anything that would comfort them. I just hope that they know that it is not the end and there are always many other paths they can take.

I want to apologise to my friends who I did not comfort because I was ill on the day of the release of the results.

Home Sweet Home

2009-02-14T22:16:00.002+08:00

Home Sweet Home

My first book out after 17 days in Tekong "Resort". I am so glad to be home, to be able to do what I want to do at any time I want and wear what I want to wear. The 17 days there have been quite a good experience. Made a lot of new friends and met lots of long lost friends as well.

Training is not so tough since I'm in PES C and am excused for many things, but the area cleanings are quite stressful because they keep checking. The food there is really terrible, but what to do? It's army food...

Even though the commanders there are strict and scary (I really mean it) I thank God that He has blessed me with understanding commanders. I really hope that they won't turn into monsters (something I doubt so) after I book in, because it is the end of the adjustment period.

Oh God, give me strength and wisdom to finish the rest of the 24 days of BMT and also the rest of my NS.

I sound the war drums!

2009-01-21T21:20:00.005+08:00

I sound the war drums!

"Even they can't save me from next wednesday"

"I sound the war drums!" A very famous quote from my former principal of ACS barker, Mr Ng. He says that when exams are near to scare us to study. And I find that phrase so apt now. So, I have been going out almost everyday since the A's ended. I never really had the time to sit down and think, and of course pray about going into the army. I never really liked to think about stuff anyway, because thinking too much about stuff makes people depressed.

Tomorrow is the only day of this week that I have nothing planned. On top of that, I have been keeping that day free for some strange and mysterious reason. I guess it is a sign that I have to spend time with God for direction and wisdom before going into the army.

I only hope that Mr Ng's next famous quote which he says at the start of the exams, "The harvest has ended. Many will not survive." will not apply to me. Oh how I miss barker road and all its nonsense.

Went to Pulau Ubin with Benjamin Quek, Edwina, Jo-Lynn, Nicolette, Saran and Sharon. It was really fun. We went there because Edwina wanted to go there to take pictures with her new camera and we also cylced around the island. It was tiring and also a bit creepy because of the abandon buildings and stuff. Plus me being the ever kiasee and safety first person, I dismounted on numerous slopes downhill while everyone zipped down with great excitement. Even walking alone in the jungle in the day is rather scary... I cannot imagine the fear at night la... Haha... And I'm enlisting next wednesday...

Too bad I don't have the photos. They are all with Edwina. Oh well. Nothing much to talk about anyway.

I think this will be the last post before I enlist. A Happy Lunar New Year to all of you!

Cambridge doesn't lie

Ladies and gentlemen. The wait is soon to be over. A level results are coming out soon. They will reach Singapore on the 21st of Jan. But the date of their release is still unknown. However it is likely that it is on the first week of February. If you think I even bothered to make a post just to lie to you, then read this http://www.cie.org.uk/news/features/detail?feature_id=26297

Getting back on track

"Jesus is Lord"

It is already the 13th day of 2009 and I have not even started on any of my resolutions. If you read my previous post, you must know by now how inadequately prepared I am mentally for the challenges ahead this year. But now, the army is not so scary anymore. I am just going to trust God with everything. If He even cares for the birds and the trees, all the more He will care for me! So yeah. No more worrying and complaining.

From tomorrow onwards...

1)Exercise everyday (I know I haven't been doing so, but better late then never right?)
2)Spend one hour with God
3)Do something constructive (Like find out about uni courses)

Now for less somber stuff...

(7th Jan)
Last wednesday I met up with Feng Xian!

I really miss that stupid air head. (I called her '空空(kong kong)' because as usual she was being bimbo and it is very appropriate because her surname is 'kong') All her nonsense and quarreling with her. It is so much more fun to quarrel with Feng Xian than Tabitha. (It is because when it is against Feng my chances of winning are high, but with Tab, it is as good as none.)

We went to Sun with Moon at wheelock place for lunch and the food was nice!

I ordered some unagi rice set thing with some soup. It was really good! I really loved the soup! Thank God Feng Xian told me to order it, if not I would have missed out on such fantastic soup!
Unfortunately, I was still recovering from my food poisoning so I couldn't really eat much. I didn't finish my set at all. It still came with tea.

Plus we ordered dessert. She ordered green tea ice cream (top) which was really good! Not too sweet and has that nice green tea flavour. I ordered green tea tiramisu because she recommended it. Wah I tell you ah, SUPER SHIOK. But of course expensive la. $6!! Lunch cost me $26 in total. Ok la, for Japanese restaurant. Food was good, but gralic fried rice sucked, too dry and tasteless. During lunch I filled her up with super lots of info. Like at least 1 hour plus of info la! I should charge for info next time man..

After lunch we met up with Shawn Kuek and chatted away at Subway. My goodness, the information I heard from him... hahaha... SRJC is not that small and some people are not that clean after all... It is really surprising the things that you hear after you leave school. All the horrible truths...

After that, Feng Xian and I went to watch a movie. She refused to watch Ponyo. That piece of crap. Not nice meh! So cute what! Then I suggested Australia, but no... she wanted to watch Transporter 3... My gosh it was a horrible horrible show. It was just senseless fighting. Don't bother wasting your money and time. What made the show worst was two lesbians sat beside me. One bung and one normal one. Then the bung started to touch the other one who was seated beside me. The whole horror film was going on my left, while a hopeless movie was playing in front of me, and on my right was the clueless Feng Xian. We actually wanted to watch Red Cliff 2 but it wasn't showing yet...

(8th Jan)

Met up with the 1st 3 months people again. It was really nice to see everyone together. (Ok la not everyone was there but substantial amount la ok.) We played frisbee and I really ran like a headless chicken.

For pictures, go to http://supernaturall.wordpress.com/

It is Edwina's blog. See all the posts for 10th Jan. 6 in total. Her photos are really nice. That is because she has those super big professional cameras.

Just like the one my friend Joshua has here above. I think I should get one of those cameras. Super nice and high quality photos. Plus I love pictures and I am sure those reading my blog love pictures too!

Last Saturday, I played Left 4 Dead for the first time... and it was.... AWESOME!!!! Super fun! But must play with friends la. If not it would be rather boring. SMOKER!!! WITCH!!! AHH!!! BOOMER!!! HUNTER!!! HEAL!!! Hahaha... I miss computer games. But I'm not going to go back to WoW. It really is a good game. But it is too good a game... very addictive...

(31st Dec 2008)

Here is a picture of the Serangoon Club party!

The theme was supposed to be "Oddball" and everyone dressed up like a cuckoo. Sadly, I don't have the photos and I don't intend to post the photos even if I had them because they are very embarassing...

Only Olivia (left) and Stefanie (right) and Melvin (not in any of the 2 pictures) did not dress up in a odd fashion. Tsk! Spoil the fun.

I'm lazy to elaborate, and pictures speak a thousand words. So there are already more than two thousand words regarding the party.

That's all for today!

Oh... it's 2009 already?

2009-01-09T22:20:00.002+08:00

Oh... it's 2009 already?

A belated Happy New year to all! I didn't blog because I was sick from the 1st to the 5th. Started this year on quite a sucky note. Sprained shoulder, fever, body ache and food poisoning. All spread out over the 5 days. Best of all, I bit my tongue on Wednesday. So yeah. Not a very happy new year for me.

I really don't look forward to this year at all. I mean like, who in the right mind would look forward to go into the army!! (I know of some retards who are DYING to enlist.) In 19 days time, one of my greatest fears will come to pass. The training (My "healthy" lifestyle will definitely kill me), torture (If they don't have it, why bother calling it the army right?), ghosts (only God can help me), food (I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE THE FOOD THERE IS GOOD. LIES! ALL LIES I TELL YOU!), vicious superiors who obviously are devoid of all compassion (It is no wonder they can't work in society), uncivilised treatment (They will tell you, it's the army mah! You're not a civilian blah blah blah.) and all that blah related the army.

I know that I am VERY VERY critical of the army and I am making a sweeping statement. (I probably pissed some army regulars as well.) But, there wouldn't be any smoke if there wasn't any fire right? Of course I have no one to blame for the sad state of my body, but why army? (Yeah yeah i know, deterence blah blah blah. Too small a population for a regular force blah blah blah. Makes a man out of a boy blah blah blah. You'll make good friends blah blah blah)

Oh well, not like complaining is going to help right? I still have to go in unless I saw off any of my limbs, become gay, get a mental illness or a terminal illness or of course commit suicide. (All of which are silly things to do, of course.) Two years. I'll just take at as going to JC. Just that there is no studying at all. How I miss school....

Ok, enough ranting and being a whiny piece of shit.

I really want to thank God for so so many things last year.

1) Getting me through the A's. (By providing me with wonderful friends to see me through the year. Amos, Grace, NATO, Tabitha, Ryan, Sharon and Stefanie. And also the dedicated teachers.)

2) My Family

Basically I thank God for all the people He has put in my life and of course all the things He has blessed me with.

I should trust God with my enlistment too. I am such a worry wart and pessimist.

One last trip before the year ends

One last trip before the year ends

I'll be gone in Muar from the 28th to the 31st December! I doubt I will come online (Msn) until like at least 3rd Jan and don't count on me blogging anytime soon when I get back.

Till then, take care and have a blessed new year!

20 liters of fruit punch & the fried rice that costs 40k

2008-12-25T21:41:00.013+08:00

20 liters of fruit punch & the fried rice that costs 40k

It's been like some time since I went overseas or went for a chalet. Well I got to do all these last week!

Last wednesday was the shooting club's chalet. It was the first official outing of the cca that I have ever attended. (Yes, they do have a lot but I always have something on. It's just too bad for them.) It was nice to see all those familiar faces again, even though they were all science stream people or J1s. (For some strange and mysterious reason, the science stream people and j1s always like to waste space by being in the canteen or other common areas which I and the other J2 Arts stream people need to use. But then of course, there are so many people out there who waste my space. So irritating these people.)

On the first night we had BBQ and night cycling. Throughout dinner, I was making lots and lots of fruit punch. (I was preparing a lot for all those thirsty shooters, at the end of the chalet which ended on friday morning. I think I made about 20 liters of fruit punch in total...)

It was my first time night cycling and it was both fun, tiring and a tad annoying. We started at around 10.45pm and we ended at 5am! Now, you must be wondering where in the world did we all cycle to. Well, our plan was to cycle to Changi Village to have supper (Approx. 8km away) and then back. Everything started off well, though there were some close shaves because of Dickson who was always getting smashing into people. We cycled around East Coast Park to wait for Shawn Kuek to meet us and in the end everyone was playing around at the playground like little kids. (The sad things a JC education can do to people...) After we met Shawn, we headed down to Changi Village. However, when everything seemed to go well, disaster struck. My back tire burst about half way to Changi Village. (No, it didn't burst because I was too heavy! About 10-15 mins later another person's bike tyre burst too! And she was probably at most 60kg!) Then, all the heros came to save the day.

Lin Qiang the boss who goes for triathalons and of course our Captain! He carried my bloody bike and said it was light! I couldn't really carry it for even more than a minute...

Then there came Felix (Top left) who was the overall organiser and was the one who tirelessly concern himself over our welfare throughout our stay at the chalet. He too helped Lin Qiang to carry the bike.

And last but not least, Henry who is mostly silent but yet always so ready to help with anything. According to our more cheena counterparts, he is very brother. This completes the trio who took turns to carry the 2 bikes that were down, while the rest all dismounted and walked to Changi Villatge. It was really a sight to see 13 people pushing their bikes and 2 others carrying bikes. One for all and all for one mentality. (It's very prevalent amongst the science stream people. Which is quite good. Something which is seriously lacking in most Arts stream classes, since every class is fragmented in one way or another except for 1A08, 2007.) So yeah, after a long and ardous journey, we reached Changi Village, and only a few people had nasi lemak for supper. And I wasn't one of them because I was so dead tired and was in no mood to eat. Then we had to restart our trek back to Aloha Loyang which was 8km away... (To my dearest Kong Feng Xian, Loyang is SO BLOODY like the outer reaches of outer space. Only a bloody gilah person like you would declare that Loyang is a very central place. My goodness, people must be getting ready to stone your bloody thick head lah.)

So blah blah blah. Long stupid journey blah blah. Back and butt was really pain. Butt because of sitting on the bike too long. Back because of excessive walking and my flat foot. When we reached back the place I was really dead tired and was the first to bathe then just went to sleep. The other supermen and superwomen still went to drink and talk, play basketball and cycle out for breakfast, while yours truly slept with his both hands aching due to griping the handles of the bike too tightly...

Oh my goodness, you must be bored by now because I am. Yeah, so blah blah blah the next day past and end of chalet. It ended off with me attempting to converse with the rest in Chinese. Which was of course a spectecular failure.

Then on Sunday, I left for Batam. Didn't get to shop the first day but managed to go for a massage which was quite good. It was my first time anyway, so I don't know how to gauge. Oh yes, and I had my 40k rupiah fried rice and the hotel. (For the hopelessly retarded people who really thought that there was fried rice that cost 40kSGD, you obviously need to go out more and read the newspapers.) It was really expensive according to the locals, because you can get fried rice for 6-7k rupiah which is less than SGD$1... but it was slightly over SGD$5 which was fried rice with a sunny side up, 2 sticks of satay, 2 pieces of fried prawns, 1 fried chicken wing and a small portion of salad thingy, best of all in hotel comfort. So in Singaporean terms, WAH LAO EH! SO CHEAP AH!

I was like screaming cheap at almost everything there. Even the houses. Because my 4 room HDB flat which cost my mum SGD$450k (She bought it when Bishan was like the most sought after estate) and that same amount could buy a big bunglow which is fully furnished and 2 cars with a gaurd, maids and a driver. So sickening right? But I won't want to live there, so dirty and unsafe. There were pot holes everywhere along the roads. It was really depressing to drive around Batam, to see all the poor people. It's like to be able to eat in the shopping centre there, you are like quite well off already, while it's very normal to do that in Singapore. So people, please be thankful that you are born in Singapore and by even be able to read my blog post, you are already very fortunate.

Well, Batam was really boring because nothing to buy there except food. The stuff there are all very waste space. On top of that, had to tour to some relative's house and industrial estate. (Yes those buggers own a WHOLE industrial estate and every gaurd we drove by gave a salute! Even at the shopping centres and the hotel!!)

The worst thing about Batam was that I learnt that I hit the 3 digit mark. Yes, 100kg. The weight I thought I would never ever hit. But thanks to my extremely "healthy" diet and lack of exercise, obesity came smashing through the doors like a runaway train. Well, not as if it were already in the house anyway, but it's reinforcements were surely quick to come.

Last tuesday, I had my long overdue dinner with Joshua Tan (aka Mr Tan, not to be confused with my form teacher this year) As you can clearly see the kind of wonders that I treat myself too often to. Had a wonderful time talking and catching up. Meeting up with old friends always gets me thinking about how things have change and of course the future. I have no idea about the future and what I plan to do, plus I am afraid to think too far ahead. But this time it's going to be different. Because I am going to ask God and leave it all to Him during the prayer retreat which I am going to from 28th dec to 31st dec.

To all my good friends out there, my enlistment is coming FAST, so I want to see all of you guys at least once before I go in!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ma Maison!

2008-12-09T00:42:00.015+08:00

Ma Maison!

.

I went out with Grace (My super duper locker buddy) last thursday to celebrate her birthday! (Yeah it was belated... so sad...whatever...)

We went to Ma Maison which was at Central (Clarke Quay)

.

Thought of going there thanks to the food blog ieatishootipost. The food was really good and the prices were reasonable! Plus the service was really really good! For $16.50++ get a set lunch, with salad, soup, main course (with choice of rice or bread) and a drink!

.

Wah... the clam chowder was so nice and creamy. Best of all, there was so many ingredients swimming in the bowl of heavenly creamy soup!

.

I can't really remember what I ordered, but it was like some beef patty thing. It looked kinda hard, but when you actually cut it, it was really soft! Aiya, it was really good la! If I continue thinking of words to describe the food I will probably have to eat a cow at 1am....

.

Grace ordered this omelette with butter rice with beef stuff and mushrooms! Wah my gosh, the eggs were just the right not too mushy texture for the perfect scrambled eggs and the butter rice was like some divine union because it just tasted so out of this world! And of course how could I forget the beef and mushroom stuff! *Health Promotion Board officials stop Bryan from continuing describing about the wonders that were experienced or else he would SURELY have to eat something at such an unearthly hour which would DEFINITELY enhance his health*

.

And of course what is good food without company! It is always nice to have a meal with friends. Can eat and talk and talk and talk and talk... (of course at least 50% would have to be about how good the food is or anything that is food related)

Thursday's outing with Grace has once again underscored my sad inability to plan what to do after a meal. I am sure many of my friends especially those from my class know it first hand.

Thank God for the internet, ended up in my house for cake and watch "Nightmare before Christmas" before going off to Changi Airport to send Tabitha off. I had a super duper fun time with my locker buddy! =) Thanks so much Grace Tan Li Ling!! =D

.

"Yes Tabitha, even if you didn't say you missed me (which was forced anyway..) on msn I still would have wrote about you anyway..."

Anyway, yes I will surely miss you Tabitha Anna Tan Shang Jie. How can I not? I'm like almost always with you in school (Except in the toilet, but you go to the wrong one anyway. You should be going to the gents with me.) All the tutorials and lectures and breaks... Feel very lost when you don't come to school ok!! (But of course your constant pot shots at me will not be fondly missed...)

She is going to Australia for a month, which is kinda sad... (And yet a cause for celebration too because I won't have to wait upon Tab, Her Royal Lazyness, who asked me on msn to call a person to sms her... and Ryan, His Royal Lateness, who thinks that 45 minutes is a little late....) However, due to my overwhelming compassion and generosity, I forgive them. How noble of me! =)

Take good care of yourself huh tab, because there is no way in hell I am going to comfort Ryan for you if anything should happen to you ok Tab. NO WAY!! (But then again, due to my overwhelming compassion I would still do so... So touching right?)

Oh yes! I have something to thank God for! My grandma was actually ill on that faithful thursday (YES! So drama right? So many things happening on the same day!) and my dad was quite worried because she was giddy and all, and wanted either my sis or me to go down to her house to be with her. Was quite worried about her and I wanted to not meet Grace but still decided to go ahead after praying. And thank God it was nothing major la. Sometimes, lack of information can cause people to overreact, like my dad.

Oh yes, since my dear locker buddy has rebonded her hair and is unable to exercise with me for 3 weeks.... and Tab has left for aussie.... I have no choice but to do and ad appealing for exercise kaki (even though I have Ryan and Saran for gym but that is so BORING).

*The following below is just an advertisement*

.

Have you ever been insulted by Bryan before? Or been attacked by that vicious beast?

Yeah! The retarded looking one in the picture above!

HA! I knew it! You have! Now it is time for him to get his comeuppance and best of all he can't fight back! *Evil grin*

Join us today at Fat Fryers! Make him do push ups! Sit ups! Run around like a headless chicken and finally win him in something!

Hear him scream and groan in pain, while you get your own work out! So why, wait? Unleash the sadist in you and get back at that sickening bugger who so euphemistically calls himself "The Great British Empire" and of course as the great Xian Liang once said, "Yeah Bryan, the British Empire is as huge as you!" (Ladies and Gentlemen, please give this wonderful gentleman a round of applause for such a wonderful rebuke.)

We're open from Monday to Fridays, 8am-5pm (Meal times are important to us and we love the mornings!)

Please note:
Those who are overly atheletic need not apply. Those who have Gold for NAPFA at least twice in their lifetime would have to be considered... but most of all, it is the heart that matters. If you want him to get off his lazy butt, then you're in! =)

*End of Advertisement*

That's all for today's late night post! Take care and God bless people!

Happy birthday to 3 buggers

2008-11-29T22:30:00.005+08:00

Happy birthday to 3 buggers!

A big happy birthday to Edwina, Saran and Stefanie!

"Edwina (Left) and Stefanie (the retarded looking one on the right)

"Saran... must be looking at some girl....tsk tsk tsk..."

I hope you guys enjoyed your birthday! (One of you had better said you enjoyed your birthday today or else me and jo-lynn will MURDER that someone. And it would be appreciated if that person would send the photos her sis and her mum took today!)

HAPPY HAPPY....

2008-11-28T00:10:00.005+08:00

HAPPY HAPPY.... BIRTHDAY!!!

A Happy belated birthday to my dearest Feng Xian who is still in Australia. =(
Come back soon ok! I miss you!!! And of course the rest miss you too!! You better make time to go and eat with me or i'll kill you huh!!!

and.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOCKER BUDDY!! =)

"So small must go down to her level! =D"

Happy happy birthday locker buddy!! Though we didn't go out yesterday to celebrate, there is always next week!! Thank you thank so much for everything really. =D Even though I wasn't at the prom, I am sure you looked fantastic! You are the Prom Queen to me always locker buddy! You have my ultimate support!! =)

Ok that's all. Better not praise her too much or her ego will burst!

Good night people! Blogging is now a mood thing. So yeah. See how la huh.

End of A's!

2008-11-18T19:40:00.022+08:00

End of A's!

Thank God the A's are over! My papers ended on the 13th which was last thursday! Much earlier than most people. (Most end by today, while all the lit people end on the 21st or 24th.)
I am really glad that A levels are finally over. No more having to slog and fret, feeling guilty when I watch tv the whole day or have fun, and not having to stand the ridiculous school rules.

On the 13th, I went to Ikea for dinner with Tabitha! Had MEATBALLS AND CHICKEN WINGS!!! Yeah be jealous! =)

"The creamy thick sauce and the chunky sweet jam goes really well with those heavenly Swedish meatballs!"

"Need I say more??"

After dinner we went to go for the fish spa thing at the fish farm near her house.

Those little buggers were really ticklish! Plus, $12 for half an hour... erm... no thanks the next time. Not very worth it I think.

"Tabitha in shock because of the fish. She was screaming profanities as if it would stop the fish from tickling her... So smart..."

Yesterday... the members of NATO went to...

Shangri-la Hotel for lunch at...

The Line! (It's a buffet restaurant for all the hopeless people who have been living inside a rock.)

Well, I had high expectations about the food there because of all the good reviews from various food blogs and from other people and even the newspaper. However, the food there was only so-so, nothing much to rave about other than the really huge variety. I think that I rather eat at Conrad Hotel or Ritz Carlton because the standard of the food there is way better, albeit having a smaller range. Still, forking out $52 (lunch) or $90+ (dinner) is way too much for the kind of food they serve at the Line unless you really eat A LOT like Amos. Bloody hell, I think he ate as much as a whole cow!

Here are some pictures of the lunch,

"While the others were dressed to the nines, Shawn was dress as usual as a Ah Beng. It was such an embarrassment to have to sit with him... (Ok lah not true except for the Ah Beng thing) "

"Munch munch munch..."

"Laugh laugh laugh..."

"Steven (Stephanie) and I having chocolate mousse"

"Me and Tab, oh my gosh my bloody pimple on my right cheek is HUGE..."

"All of use look like adults!"

Last saturday at children's club...

We went to eat Zhi Char at some kopitiam near cannot remember what ching chong primary school. The fried tofu was horrible but the har cheong (prawn paste) fried chicken wings were really good thought they were puny... Then we went to eat tau huay at the shop next door, but Stefanie and I ween't too satisfied with dinner and want more CHICKEN WINGS so we went back to get some but $8... so... mission fail. We had to settle for crossiants instead, but they were good too!

We celebrated Melvin, Olivia (left) and Stefanie's (right) birthday! Well they should have celebrated Ben 1 and Delphne's one together since its like so close too...

OH OH OH!!! Have you seen the kids I teach?

SO CUTE RIGHT!!! (from left) Ke Zhi the most hardworking of the four I teach, Hui Teck and Zhen Wei. Missing from the picture is Frankel.

And here he is!

Holidays have just started, so yeah much more outings and hopefully much more posts. I am a free man till the 28th of Jan next year till I have to serve the nation. (Hopefully as a clerk!)

Happy new year to all those who have finished A's!!

Time to get some sleep! Bye!

The Beginning of the end

2008-10-27T18:39:00.007+08:00

The Beginning of the end

Just a short update, I am feeling a mixed sense of excitement, happiness and slight dread as the A levels draw closer (this friday is my first paper).

On a random note, I have lost 7 girlfriends (My Nalgene water bottles) since J1 till now. Yes, SEVEN. $20 each means $140 fly away. And for some strange and mysterious reason, all of them were lost on the bus or school.

Since it seems rather gloomy for some, I shall cheer you guys up with a beautiful picture of a sunflower!

Aww... doesn't it just give you a burst of happiness?

Hmmm... Amos is studying....

Darren too....

And Mrs Sim is starting to nag...

I better go and study, and so should you too.

Bye!

Prelim Results

2008-09-13T08:29:00.004+08:00

So results are back. Quite satisfied with them, because of the relatively small effort put into studying. Of course if I had studied more, I would be able to do better. Passed everything by the grace of God! I'm not going to put my grades up because that would be insensitive to those who did not fair so well.

To those who did not do well, please do not give up! There is still more than one month to do something about it! And one month of hard core mugging can sure do wonders! So, just keep going because I believe most people didn't really put in their BEST effort.

I want to declare how proud I am of Amos! He has done well for this exams and of course because of him putting effort to study! I told you right Amos!! Just study and you can do well already. Tab, you too ok!

Hmm... it's 8.44am and I haven't had the most important meal of the day!! (All meals are important!) I better go and eat something before I start eating my keyboard.

Bye and take care! (I will not be blogging till my prelims 2 are over, but then again, I may not even blog till A's are over. So don't count on me blogging people.)

Prelims are over!

2008-09-02T20:57:00.003+08:00

Prelims are over! (Pics removed to tidy blog up)

Ah, finally prelims are over! I actually wanted to blog a few times, but was so turned off because blogger was giving lots of problems. Now, I have to upload photos on to photobucket because my pics from my hp cam are too large! (5 megapix of goodness ok!)

I just realised that the A's are coming in... 58 days! And I haven't touched anything since the prelims ended last wednesday. Oh dear... and everyone else is frantically doing their work. I feel rather weird now. Like, I know I need to do my work, but I just don't feel like doing it at all. Just very sian. Oh well.

I don't really have much to say... because I don't really feel like doing long posts for now. After A's would be a better idea, but then again, it takes a lot of time.

Just want to say Happy Belated Teacher's Day to all my tutors!

Mr Tan Toh Hwee (Econs & CT) & Mr Lim Ming Hock (CT) (From left)

Mr Cheu (Super enthu Math tutor)

Mrs Sim (Geog)

Ms Koh (History and last yr's CT)

Mdm Tang (GP)

Study hard and take care people!

Hopeless with IT

2008-08-09T12:13:00.002+08:00

Hopeless with IT

If you have noticed, the last post's pictures were all over the place. I don't know why, and I don't know how to fix it. That is why I have refused to blog for so long. SO annoying. Joshua Tan!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!! When you are free of course.

Computers are indeed a wonderful invention, and I really thank God for it. But sometimes, I just feel like smashing it against the wall and throwing it out of my window. (I live on the 13th floor.) I am quite hopeless with computers, especially with the technical stuff. Games are no exception. I play to make myself feel happy, hence I resort to cheats most of the time. (If there is) Therefore, I am not really good in any of the computer games I play.

Oh yes, I must declare that I have walked 10km last saturday! Fine, I didn't run like the majority of the school did, but hey, during the walk, I was running like one quarter of the time because Grace, her brother and Xiao Ting decided to be crazy and I suppose is some evil plot to make me run.

Prelims are in 9 days, and I seriously don't feel anything at all. God help me. I don't want to fail.

Tsk. Blogger didn't give me problems last time. Ever since my com was repaired. So many problems. Can't even load photos now. STUPID!

Term 3

2008-07-04T22:55:00.004+08:00

Term 3

Term 3 has started and the stress is once again building up. Time to go mad once again under exam stress and go into pms mode.

Well there is really nothing much to say other than, THANK GOD my computer is back.

I seriously agree with this. Reality tv, OH MY GOSH MAN! KILL ME!

Not feeling well now, just took my medicine so I am going to bed now. Bye kids!

End of Mid-years!

2008-06-04T20:01:00.027+08:00

End of Mid-years!

Operation "Flying Armpit Hair" (Codename for the mid-years) has ended on monday. Once again, Britain is brought to her knees as the Ministry of Evil's (MOE) invasion was unrelenting.

Heavy bombers filled the skies over British territories as both troops and civilians watched in shock and horror, as deadly heaps of metal rain down upon them.

The once peaceful and prosperous lands have been transformed into a wasteland filled with destruction and sorrow.

With only few victories to boast of, the colonial government's ability to defend her vast empire against the two even larger upcoming invasions, Prelims and A's, is thrown into question. From the northern territories of Canada, the scorching deserts of Africa, the impregnable fortress of Singapore to the southern reaches of Australia, casualties numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

In retrospect, Britain's allies have not fared as well too. Dutch forces were slow to react to an invasion by economics forces by an hour, allowing much of the Dutch East Indies to be taken over. (In other words, Amos (represented by the Dutch) came for the econs paper ONE hour late.)

The battle of GP saw heavy losses on both sides, with analysts still arguing over the effectiveness of British defences. (In other words, I have no idea how I did. But obviously not good.)

The new Pure Mathematics class ships sunk numerous British battleships and pounded coastal defences in Penang, Singapore and Hong Kong. (The math paper was totally crap. Mr Cheu just told me today that I got 35/100 for it. That is my first U grade in a long long time.. and hopefully the last.)

Econs forces quite effectively swept through British defences with amazing speed as their powerful essay tanks shot at anything British. (Econs was kinda bad for paper 1, paper 2 a little better...)

The worst defeat was at the very heart of the British Empire. The grandiose buildings, the manicured parks and the marbled floors of Buckingham Palace were not spared. The insidious General Yew and Koh of historical forces, unleashed a deadly wave of V2 rockets, sent the capital into a state of near anarchy. (For the uninitiated, history paper 1 was ok, but paper 2 came back with a vengeance and caught everyone by surprise as an obscure topic which was skimmed through during lecture came out together with similar topics for common test. That really sounded the death knell for most history students.)

The only apparent victory was against geographical forces as most were forced to retreat under the heavy fire of cannons. (Geog was the only subject that was ok for both papers. In fact, when I saw the essay questions in paper 2, I smiled to myself!)

"My brain looks like this!"

Ok, so the exams have obviously fried my brains. It's been a long long time since I've blogged like that. This exams have taught me one thing. I can study for 8 hours in one day alone (but only once in a blue moon) and other times, I seriously need to study with other people. I seriously thank God for Amos and Tabitha, who have both graciously allowed me to study in their homes (I hate studying at places like macs. Too noisy.) and of course for being such wonderful friends!

To Amos & Tab: I feel like posting that crazy person's bullshit on my blog!! But I shall be nice, don't want to sink to that level. Other than the 2 of you only Dorothy knows half the story. Seriously thank you guys so much for letting me tell you about that nutcase! And Tab, sorry you had to be dragged into this nonsense although it's not your fault. I guess that's why I'm only part time. Lol!

"DLB?"

"I wonder what she is staring at..."

I went on a snack shopping spree yesterday after class photoshoot with Tabitha and Ryan. I feel kinda bad dragging the two buggers along to do my errands. But then again, I'm sure Tab had a lot of fun making fun of me, because of her bloody fortress protecting her. HMPH.

"Spoils of the day!"

Anyway, raided Marks & Spencer, shopped a bit at Muji, then had dinner at Takashimaya. Did minimal damage ($23?). 2 packs of jam sandwiches, 3 boxes of red current puffs, 2 packs of fruit jellies and 2 packs of marshmallows.

For those health inspectors out there who must be fuming at what I bought... Don't fret! I went to the Guy Yi Moon detention centre (GYM) today! Sweated it out! For proof ask Tab.

The holidays are here and at least I can breathe easier now. However, the school has not forgotten about us and doesn't want us to be bored so they kindly issued us a few TRILLION TONNES of homework. What lovely people! They should get a Nobel Peace Prize or something.

I ALMOST FORGOT!

THANK YOU AUNTY ANNIE FOR THE EXTREMELY WONDERFUL CUPS YOU BOUGHT FOR MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!

That's all from tired but happy and relieved Bryan.

Time to guest blog now!! Toodles children!

MYE

"Stay at home and study!!"

The mid-year exams will be starting tomorrow and I can forsee my results being a replica of the common test results or even worse. I know I haven't been studying much, except for saturday's 11.45am-11.45pm geog muggathon (of course I took about 3hrs breaks in total in between.), but I really want to go out and just go where I want to go. Just like after O levels. Although I know I can go out if I want to, but there is like an imaginary blockade at my house door. (like the picture shown above)

Argh... I miss the kids at Serangoon club...

I wish A lvls were over. But then again, that would mean I have to go to the Army... Hmmm... I notice the two banes of my life now start with the letter "A"....

AGGLOMERATION ECONOMIES!!!! ABRASION!! ATTRITION!! AD-VALEROM TAX!! ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS!! ATMOSPHERE!!

ok whatever. Bye.

Our days are numbered....

2008-04-05T21:46:00.003+08:00

Our days are numbered....

Sounds so cliche, but yet so true. I just counted the days to the MYEs and A levels.
44 days to MYE and 208 days to the first paper for A levels. Sounds rather distant, but come to think of it, time just flies past you like a bullet train. It felt like it was only yesterday when I first stepped into SRJC, and now I'm here in J2 and already gearing up for the MYE.

The phrase "Our days are numbered" really struck me today as I watched last week's sermon
online. (Because I had shooting camp last week.) The sermon touched on it and really make
me think...

I guess we all have to really live life to the fullest because we don't know when we will say good bye to this world. To touch as many lives as possible and make a difference to those around us.

I know this post is not the usual "happy happy" kind, because as I woke up and went down to buy my breakfast this morning, I thought to myself, "As I am walking back home enjoying the peace and tranquility of Bishan park, with my stomach filled, holding a packet of bee hoon for lunch on one hand and a packet of soyabean milk on the other, there are at least a thousand other people in the world starving out there or living in fear because of war or conflict. Which of course is a far cry from the little sanctuary I'm living in, Singapore. "
I stopped for a while and really thanked God for the situation that I'm in, despite all the problems
in my life. Being stressed up over A' levels surely beats having to fear for your life and not having
enough to eat or thinking of where to find shelter for the night. Economics, Geography, History and GP really opens your eyes to the world, and shows me how fortunate I am.

So be thankful for whatever situation you are in right now. If you can even read this post, I don't think you are worrying too much about money or safety like the millions out there living on less than a dollar a day.

I hope those that read this post would say a prayer for all the poor souls out there who are less fortunate. And I pray that all those who read this post will be blessed as well.

I think my next post will be after my MYEs, so that will be in June. In the mean time, I'm going on a hiatus.

(Ok, to tell you the truth, after typing this post... I feel like it's kinda weird, because it's so not me)

Take care and good bye!!

All good things come to an end...

"A symbol of white men's burden?" (For H2 history students to think about)

This picture was taken when I went on with Joshua Tan on Monday. We had a good time snapping photos of city hall and the old supreme court. I seriously love the colonial style buildings! They look opulent and grandiose! Unlike the new supreme court which looks like a spaceship and spoiling the scenery to the colonial district.... TSK! Oh yeah has a super cool cam!!
Those super big ones that the professionals use!!

"Mr Tan in action!"

Really nice to meet up with Barker people! Argh... supposed to have our long due Changi Village
makan outing but had to cancel because he is a super busy man! (Eh president of his CCA leh! Don't
play ok!) So yeah, work comes first! And I really thank God he couldn't make it! =P because...
well the answer is in the super long story below...

Yay! I helped out at Young Arrows Camp on monday night and the whole of tuesday. (Children's club camp by my church, if you didn't know I give tuition to kids on Sat.)

It was a really great and humbling experience. It was really a showcase of how God's strength can really help people get through each day. And I really mean it, because some of
the kids at the camp were really super hyperactive or just rebellious. In fact, there was quite a bit
of chaos which I didn't see for myself. (Because the camp was from Sun to Wed.) And the time I was there.... wah.... sometimes just want to pull your hair out man....

Monday night (Structured experience)

I arrived at Ngee Ann Primary school with Stefanie and Olivia for dinner. When we entered the school, it was a scene of utter chaos. With kids running all over the concourse and around the school. But then again it was their wash up time so they can do anything they wanted.
When we entered the canteen, tired and weary faces greeted us. The camp councilors who have been there since Sat, seemed very drained and their voices were hoarse and some were in perpetual zhao xia mode. Then Isabel (Trojans clan leader, each clan has 3 grps so it's ALOT of kids...) asked me to help Caroline (Trojans 3 leader) because of some problems the next day so yeah.

So after dinner and briefing, I was assigned a station at the canteen and I was supposed to be a Chef, Mr Laksa (corny name...) in some murder plot thingy and I was a suspect. In my station, I had the honour of scattering rice on the floor (it was a seriously heart wrenching moment for me because you know how much I LOVE food...) and getting kids to pick them up.
The whole thing went fine and I still hadn't seen the kids in their full force "naughtyness".

Tuesday

I came down a few minutes late at 9am plus to help Caroline and her group for the day's scavenger hunt. I met with a few other volunteers from Trojans clan and they were all....
going off the deep end, telling super lame jokes and going high. And I asked them, "Is this the
result of staying with the kids? If so, I want to go home now..." Then they all were like, "Eh don't go la!" So yeah I stayed... I brought along 2 sticks of Vapodrops in preparation for losing my voice and all the other councilors whom I didn't know were like
"HI BRYAN!!! *With super big grin*" and yeah so I gave them la. Oh yeah! Met 2 very nice guys,
Jason and Wilson (who joined Serangoon club today!!) Super nice to talk too and super friendly!

"Hew Yenn, the one in yellow was one of those who came to say hi to me just to get a lozenges..."

"Jason & Quisyhri"

Then I set of with Trojans 3 to East Coast Park to do some of the stuff. The kids were really well behaved compared to those in Trojans 2. (Supposedly worst behaved group in the camp) There was this boy called Quisyhri (don't know the correct spelling), he is really really cute! But kinda hyper but at least well behaved! We went around the park doing all the things we needed to do and then it was about to rain... so we had to head back to marine parade side. Suddenly, Isabel shouted, "Bryan!! Bryan!!! Where is my walky talky!!!" *holding the bloody thing on her right hand and furiously searching her belongings with her left hand* Then of course came
"GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT" and she found her walky talky which was in her hand all along... (This is a PERFECT case study of the effects of taking care of TONNES of children for 3 days)

Each group was given $10, for lunch and to complete the tasks and so all the councilors in our group didn't eat lunch and the kids at like 1 prata each only.(YEAH I DIDN'T EAT LUNCH OK!)
Thank God that our group had lots of umbrellas and enough for all of us and we managed to
get back to the primary school albeit half soaking wet. Since the children were well behaved, I
didn't get the chance to scold anyone of them. But then after wash up and break.....

It was time for all the clans to meet up and prepare for their performance for camp fire night in the evening. So our clan was preparing a fashion show thingy... and all the kids were drawing and stuff and then I noticed 2 boys from our clan running around the concourse like headless chickens so I shouted at them to stop. At that moment, the whole concourse went silent and
the entire clan and another one plus councilors just stared at me.
Then one of the boys started running and I shouted once more, and this time he totally hit the brakes.
Later in the day.... Yan Yi (One of the volunteers in Serangoon Club where I help out) said, "Eh today when you shouted... very scary leh..." I believe because of this incident and a few other shouts, Steanie's cell leader came up to me after camp fire and said, "I heard you were a good disciplinarian!" (Erm.... I don't know whether to be happy or not... but ok... at least I help brought some order in Trojans....)

"
"Trojans getting ready for their performance."

During camp fire.... there was this SUPER ULTRA MEGA naughty boy called Owen, he argued and fought with other kids to his left, right, back and front.... I scolded him for playing with his torch light's siren but was too tired to scold him for fighting already...
Isabel went to scold him but he rebutted and she got so upset she cried... then Pastor
Lawrence Tan, a.k.a Uncle Lawrence to the kids went to talk to him. Then of course the day ended.
Oh yes, during the camp fire, I sat down as I was very tired and I was thinking... I'm only here for ONE day, and some of these people here have been here since SATURDAY and was really wondering how in the world they can tahan this! So I went around and asked a few some said don't know, some just a tired smile and one response which really struck me was, "God lor! If not
for God I would not have made it through today." I was really struck by the response and yeah...
They really couldn't have done it without God. In fact, on the way there I kept praying for God to give me strength and grace while I was there. The TYA camp was really a showcase of God's strength and power as he had blessed them with safety, strength and even good weather.

"The councilors!! (From left: Isabel, Joyce (I seriously don't know who she is... the orange one.. but ok.., Caroline and Jason)

One thing I am sure that those who helped out at the camp is that God is faithful and he really provides!
I personally have learnt alot in just 1 day and 1 night there and I am sure those who were there much
longer learnt much much more! It was a truly fun and good learning experience! I also want to salute the Camp committee such as SKY, Isabel!! (I heard these people had HARDLY any sleep), Logistics people such as Chery Hoi!! (they seriously had to do ALOT of shit...), the councilors
(the people who had to face the kids from the moment they wake up till they sleep) such as
Caroline, Jason, Wilson and Hew Yenn!!

So yeah. My holidays have been meaningfully spent and I have to do my homework now...
Sorry for the absolute lack of photos because I don't have them! So yeah, have to wait!

Oh yes! Wednesday! Mahjong at Eugene's house!!

"Kaki 1: Eugene Cheong with his usual kiam siap money grubbing look."
(He seriously is very stingy... lose already so reluctant to pay his chips... not even real money la!!)

"Kaki 2: Jun Lei with his superbly sad attempt at acting cute."

"Kaki 3: Yuan Feng busy drawing his tile"

All the pongs, wins, screams, good food and holding of cards was REALLY fun! Played bridge after 4 good hours of mahjong with them and it was SUPER SUPER FUN! Once again, it nice just to be with guys only. Oh yeah ate like a pig there as usual because the food
there is simply heavenly! Eugene's mum's cooking is *HOLY LIGHT SOUND EFFECT* That is how good it is!! Roast pork, chicken wings, fried rice with BACON BITS!! OMG!!
I know I'll die faster there but at least I die happy!

I really had fun this holiday. But I guess all good things have to come to an end, and this will be seriously the last fun holiday till my A levels are over. But I will not worry because I know that God is my provider! (Hmm... I ound really preachy in this post but too bad.)

Before I end this post I want to thank God for:

1) New Handphone!! =) Erm... model? wait I check the box... K850i!!
2) New Ipod Nano!! =)
3) C for Chinese A lvls!! (I was only hoping for a E, so yeah. C is like.... erm... so not Bryan standard chinese. For those who know how "wonderful" my chinese is.... yeah good for you...)
4) Dorothy, Grace, Nicolette and Sharon for taking care of my sister!! =) Really thanks so much guys! all of you are really sweet!
5) AIYA everything that I have la! Family, friends and all the blahs (If I list them out I no need to sleep already)

1+2 my dad bought for me!!! Thanks Daddy!!! =)

May the good Lord bless all of you as school reopens next week! Take care everyone!

Freedom once again! Not long though...

Yay! The Common Tests are over!!! Since yesterday for me, today for some and the rest on friday.
Now I know why people say that my subject combi is the suicide combi. Geog + History paper on the same day = MASSIVE BRAIN DRAIN, therefore leading to the DEVESTATION of the brain.
And... I just found out that for my A'lvls I really have geog and history on the same day. So, yeah. God help me.

Result of Wednesday's Geog & History papers... I was really dazed when I finished the exam. I was quite blur and not thinking properly for at least an hour... that's why I decided not to go for shooting, in case I shoot someone by accident. (Yeah, sad right? Straight after exam got cca...)

Hmm... really feels weird to not have to go to school and not do any work at all today. At least this "free period" won't last long... still got homework and things to read up for the one week "holidays".

Bleh. I think I'm going to go buy muffins now.

Bye bye and take care!

School has been ok... Common Tests are coming soon!! 3 March!! ARGH!!! So yeah... need to study! By the way... I think the food around my school is not bad =) (Right 2A09?)

Just to really quickly what has been happening lately....

Failed attempts at fasting, missing a lot of people lately, Eating club, Class nonsense, weird relief econs teacher, panicking over CT, being in awe of those who take H3 (Adriel Chioh you are one of them),
Hokkien Mee fever, Marks & Spencer Snacks, rushing through syllabus....

Yeah. Very short and sweet. Take care everyone! The newspaper said today that the haze could be coming soon, so please take good care of your health!!

I serioursly think this picture is DAMN funny! I LOVE SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS!!!

Bye!

Chinese New Year and more!

2008-02-02T00:39:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year and more! *Updated at 8.30pm!*

"My favourite biscuits since I was young!"

They really bring back fond memories of me running around like an idiot in insouciant bliss.

So cute right? I love the Kangaroo ones! But they all taste so so good!

Anyway.... It is going to be Chinese New Year once again! =D

All the FOOD!!!

The ANG PAOS!!

And of course... The MAHJONG!!

But.... there is going to be homework... and of course our dearest teachers have told us to study...

Now a report from the Colonial Office in Shanghai (Because it is CNY)...

At first I thought that 2A09 would be rather dull... after all Feng Xian and Shawn did not promote... and they are the few fun people in class. However, the 7 new classmates that have joined us has only made the class (former 1A10) much more lively!

"(From Left) Tabitha's Hand, Amos sleeping like a pig, Hafith being gay and Jonathan just being a plain Jonathan."

The class is more lively, but also much more sleepy.... because everyone is just tired because of the lack of sleep and all that blah related to school.

Tabitha Anna Tan, A.K.A "Kor of Stephanie(Steven) or Mr Anna! (I know I am so going to die for this, but TOO BAD! =P"

My new forever sleeping and rather MANLY (Fittest girl in the J1 cohort last year) classmate and tablemate (whatever you want to call it, I don't care).
She sits on my right, so technically I can call her my "right hand man" =P

Basket... she says on her blog that I am a bad influence because I keep eating and tempting her, after saying I am nice and all...

I quote:

that's fatty aunty bryan.
i've never seen a guy so naggy before,
really like my mum.
but really, thanks byran for doing little things to show your sincerity! (I don't know what she meant by that, but ok...)
like carrying my chair over today. haha
and the peanuts!
(:
(Praise ends here....)
ALTHOUGH. the flipside is that,
bryan eats so much, he's making me FAT too!
wha lao.
see, i sit next to him.
he's eating almost all the time, tempting me la! wha lao

LOOK. evidence of byran's BAD influence. (Notice the inability to spell my name...)
tsktsktsk"

(Oh crap now I am sounding like some source based question...)

So... now my fault la! Everyone has got to eat ok! Nevermind, since I am such a nice and compassionate person... I shall say nice things about her.
Erm... she is nice. She doesn't beat me like Feng Xian, but she does threaten me and I know if she does hit me it is going to be MUCH more painful...
Her vocab is much better than mine although she denies it....

She is also a very religious person as can be seen in the photo above. Praying even during lessons. (But we all know what she is actually doing... =P)

"That's Steven on my left sleeping during GP lesson."

This year new and improved. MANLIER than ever. He (Stephanie) can do 8 bloody pull ups.
So... compared to the girls sitting beside me, I am the real girl. Whatever. I just realised I can't even do the girl's push up properly la.... Oh well....

"SO WHAT IF I CAN'T DO!!???!! Not happy ah?"

On a side note... I realised ever since I came to JC... my nicknames have become more.... endearing.....?

Primary School: Yamcake, Yam a ling (P5-6)
Secondary School: Aunty Yam (Thanks to my History teacher in sec 1 who started the whole thing....), Fatty (Only one guy calls me that)
JC1: Aunty Yam, Yam a ling (thanks to FX & Stefanie), Madam (Only Stefanie calls me that), Briyani (1st 3months people not including 1A02), Great Britain =)
JC2: Fatty Aunty Bryan... (OMG... THANKS TABITHA....), Aunty Yam Yam (In a super happy tone, courtesy of Leanne....) plus all that in JC1

You realise.... the I have been called like "Aunty" for like 5 years.... it is so weird la. I remember after O lvls when I went out, whenever I hear someone say "Aunty" I will look.... because I thought they were calling me....

Oh yes! The class celebrated Xian Liang (Yesterday) and Nathaniel's (Today) birthday yesterday!

Aww... Don't they look like such darlings? Holding each other's hands to cut the cake together!

By now a CERTAIN person is getting jealous already.... MUAHAHAHAHA right Doracorn? =D

AND AND AND!!! THE CHEESE CAKE JONATHAN'S MUM BAKED IS SO SHIOKALINGDUM!
Although the cake looks rather disgusting because it is gooey.... but.... when you put it in your mouth.... Oh my goodness... there is an explosion of tastes!
You can taste yoghurt with apricots with a slight tinge of cheese. It is simply "DIE DIE MUST TRY!"

Now... for an random aunty report...

Prices of uncooked chickens have gone up by an average of $2!!

While the prices of eggs have gone up by 20-60 cents!!

Want to know why the prices of poultry and meat have gone up?
Ask the world's most "Beloved" country, USA , China and India. They are the ones causing prices to rise.
All thanks to "Demand & Supply" Concepts I have learnt. =D

-----------------------End of Aunty moment----------------------------------------------

Ok la. That's all I have to say. I want to sleep already because I have not been feeling well the past few days. Good Bye and take care people!

LOL! Amos looks like... HAHAHA... and of course Hafith being gay once again....

No Emo

"My mum and I waiting to collect my $300 cheque (Bursary) from Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC"

Ok la. I know the past few post have been rather depressing and I have broken my "emo-free blog" code (I had it if you didn't know...) but now its all over. Time to move on, because there is no point wasting time to wallow in self pity. "People come and go", "There is a season for every person in your life, it may be short or long, but after they have completed their purpose in your life, they will be gone."

These are just some comforting words I read in a Christian book that really made me feel better.
Besides, there is really too much work to do, which is really taking a toll on me as well as those around me. Walking around school on friday I noticed a stark contrast, JC 1s (Happy, smiley and full of energy), JC 2s mostly (Expressionless, moody and completely drained). While the J1s were cheering their lungs out with such joy, the J2s were either catching up on sleep, catching up on work or just doing their own things.

Anyway, despite the increased work load and pace of lectures, I am not going to be upset or be scared. Because I know all I need is one person, and that is God. He was the one that saw me through last year and emerge as the top 100. So I will not fear all the trials ahead. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5,6)

Thanks to all who came and ask me not to be sad about Feng Xian and Siti leaving. Like Stefanie, Sharon, Grace, Nicolette, Saran. If I have left out your name sorry... I really thank God for all you. Especially for listening to me whine and what not.

RAAARH!!!!! THE BRITISH EMPIRE WILL NOT FALL!!! ESPECIALLY NOT WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE!!

From today onwards I will blog at most once a month.
This is so that I don't waste so much time on the computer and of course more time to study and relax.

I hope the 1A08 people in 2A9 read this.... 1A10 is not scary!!! The class has always been like this (what you see in class in 2A9). So please please don't think that we are trying to make you guys look bad! If you guys need help, I am sure most of us will be glad to help you! Especially me! So don't be afraid of us ok?
(This is in response to Tabitha who said the new class is "very competitive, and that she feels rather stupid.")

Bye! That's all for now. Take care!

Goodbye....

2008-01-05T22:15:00.000+08:00

Goodbye....

School has started, classes and lectures are in full swing. It is bad enough Feng Xian is no longer in my class.... now she is leaving for Australia.... I got to know of it on the second day of school and it was really..... saddening....

Today better still... Siti is telling me she is leaving for her new employer next tuesday...

So... one less person at home and in school. Wonderful...

Anyway, at least both of them have left for the better I suppose. I know Feng Xian absolutely hates JC and I guess it will be much better for her there. Siti will be going to her new employer where she will get more than a 50% increase in her pay.

Bong mong, you will be dearly dearly missed. Not only by me but of course the rest of 1A10. I will send you off so must tell me when ok!

I hope I don't have to say anymore goodbyes this year. Because I really really hate it.

Happy New Year! 2008

May all dominions, colonies and protectorates flourish and be filled with abundance. And may the good Lord bless all of you."

All the best in 2008 everyone!

2007-12-24T21:34:00.000+08:00

Back from the cruise....

I am back from my cruise and VERY glad that it is over. I don't feel like blogging about it, because I hated most of the trip. Not because the food sucked (It was WAY better than that of SuperStar Virgo) but because of the people I went with.

This trip is my second holiday ever with my dad and my st*pmum (I WILL NEVER EVER CALL HER THAT. OVER MY DEAD BODY! I WON'T EVEN USE HER NAME ON MY BLOG LEST IT BE DEFILED.) If you didn't know... my parents are divorced and I stay with my mum.
Anyway, from now on I will refer to her as "THAT THING" as I normally do.

THAT THING totally soplit the trip. I am not going to blog about it because it will only make my blood boil. The only thing I enjoyed was that I am on much better terms with my sister now.

BAH! I couldn't be bothered to upload the photos of the cruise. I need to finish my homework.

Bye.

Oh yeah. Merry Christmas to you.

I am going on a cruise next monday to friday yay! The ship is called "Rhapsody of the seas" (SO LOR SOH CHEONG HAY!)
Anyway, the ship is much bigger than Super Star Virgo
(The one I have been taking at least once a year since it came to Singapore.) so I am really looking foward to it.

Argh... there is still so much homework to be done... and I will be bringing my work on the cruise. Sad huh?

I feel like playing mahjong...

I don't feel like blogging anymore.

Bye!

OH MY GOSH IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY!

2007-12-01T20:47:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOSH IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY!

"Huh? So fast ah?"

Woah... this year is quickly coming to an end already. In about 30 days time, specaular fireworks displays will once again light up the skylines of all the world's capitals and the song "Auld Lang Syne" will fill the air.

I know it is only the 1st of December now. But I doubt I will be able to be doing a super long post this month, let alone when school reopens next year. (Oh the horror...)

There is a Canon camera advertisement and has the song "Through the years" by Kenny Rogers which I think is a very nice song. Especially meaningful when you hear it when the year is coming to an end.

Through the years-By Kenny Rogers

I seriously think it is a super nice song. Oh yes, and I like Winnie the Pooh too! (Whatever lah ok. I am not gay.)

2007 has really been a year which has opened my eyes to the world and has changed a lot of my old views.

Before 2007...

I was in ACS Barker. And I really took for granted all the facilities and the beautiful school I was in. Not to mention all the good friends I had.
I had no friends who are girls, so yeah, I was REALLY scared on the first day at school in SRJC.
But of course that has changed.

"Secondary academic block with the plaza in front"

"Inside the academic block"

"Administration block"

When I first came to SRJC, and the OGLs took us to tour the school, I was thinking to myself, "Oh my gosh. So this is what a supposedly normal neighbourhood mainstream school is like. This is crap compared to Barker lah." (I am not trying to say that neighbourhood schools suck ok? If it makes you feel better, Barker's results are worse than that of MANY neighbourhood schools contrary to many lies that some hopelessly disillusioned barker boys have conjured.)

Not surprisingly, many complained during the second intake that their secondary school was FAR nicer than SRJC. So I guess that SRJC's facilities are not that mainstream neighbourhood school quality...(Weird that the 1st 3 months people didn't complain that much, considering that a FAR larger amount of students were from "branded" schools compared to the second intake.)

If I were to comapre Barker with SRJC, Barker would be opulent and SRJC would be SUPER run down. But, one thing that stunned me during my 1st 3 months in SRJC was the kind of friendliness and sense of integrity the people there had. Most of the people there were really nice and further more, it was SO safe that you could literally leave your handphone or MP3 player or any other valuable lying around the school without worrying that it would be stolen. Because it would be either left where it is or it would be reurned to the office. That was how safe it was. And I really was just astonished by it because back in Barker theft was VERY common. At least 2 cases a month? There was even one incident where almost 3 classes had their handphones stolen back in sec 1...

1st 3 months was seriously the most fun I have ever had in my entire life.

"ARGO 1! The BEST OG!"

"1st 3 month people"

My OG friends and of course those from other OGs are seriously super nice. They are really a fun bunch of SUPER sweet people. It has really been a joy to know all of them and I thank God that I have met all these people. And up till this day, many of them are my close friends even though they may not be in SRJC anymore.

If I were to blog about all the fun we had I would take forever to post this la... So just a brief one...

"Hamster Ballerina Mania!"

"Birthday celebrations!"

"Outings!"

And of course... BRIDGE, BIRD SHIT, TOILET SAUCE, PONNING LECTURES (Ok la. Not me, but many others.) and all the nonsense which I can't really remember now.

Not to forget my really small and miserable class of 10 people....

"1A02!"

The class was super fun too! It was really a small class, but it was nice and cosy.
We couldn't pon lessons because our class is so small there is no way we would not be detected. Although, I have to admit I was closer to my OG people.

And of course all good things have to come to an end. The O level results were out and posting for the 2nd intake took place. Intially, ALOT of people were no longer in SRJC. However, many actually appealed back. So I wasn't that lonely. Plus, 5 of my 1st 3 months classmates are in my 2nd intake class.

When the second intake people came in, all the remaining 1st 3 months people stuck together like glue. While their friends who just joined in also stuck around. I remember we 1st 3 month people resenting the fact that a lot of our good friends have left the school and many "bad apples" have joined the school. Ever since the second intake people came in, SRJC was no longer the SUPER safe school which I was proud of. At first, we really didn't like the 2nd intake people.

But of course things started to change... and of course I made even more good friends!

And of course 1A10!!!

I really love my class alot! Of course I would be lying if I said everyone got along with each other. But, most of us got along well lah. We had our quarrels, moody days, pms, PW but in the end there was still harmony!

The person I will never forget...

"FENG XIAN! =D All those nonsense in class!"

"NATO!"

"Outings!"

"In class!"

"In lectures!"

"PW! The stress... the boredem... and the GROUP!"

"Class BBQ!"

"My beautiful locker!"

ARGH! Time is passing so quickly! Holidays are soon going to be over, I haven't started on my holiday homework yet, and there is so many things I want to do... Oh well...

I have been really busy this week! Went out EVERYDAY of the week except tuesday.

Had mahjong games twice this week! SO shiok!

Been busy making birthday cards... and planning 10 gatherings...

Hmm... 3 hours spent on this post. I think it is time to stop here. Oh yes, before I go, check of my friend (youying)'s blog. Some of the post are really thought provoking and some are just plain touching.

"A drawing of me by Feng Xian. I removed my ic number..."

Take care and have fun during the holidays! God bless you!

OH MY GOD I CAN'T WALK!!

2007-11-04T12:25:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOD I CAN'T WALK!!

"BLAH!"

Yes people... I really cannot walk. Why? Because I sprained my leg whil playing soccer with primary school kids. (I know what you must be thinking now... "HAHAHA! You bloody NOOB! How can you get owned by small kids?") At least when I sprained my leg, I was going after a 18 year old guy. So no so bad.

Anyway... this is a lesson and a warning to ALL! RETRIBUTION IS REAL!
Moments before I sprained my leg, I was laughing at one of the kids who was being shot at with bubble tea pearls. And I said: "HAHAHA! RETRIBUTION" to her because she attacked me and a few other kids. Yeah. So. BEWARE!!!

And.. as I have always stressed and emphasised. EXCERCISE IS BAD FOR HEALTH! SEE LAH!! LOOK AT MY LEG!! Now I am hopping like a fat one legged mother kangaroo.

Oh yeah, for the record, this is my FIRST ever sports injury. (Congrats to me!) Why? Well that is what happens if you don't play ANY sports until JC.

Crap lah! Tomorrow is PW OP and the bloody venue is on the 3rd floor! I have got nothing to say...

Bye! Take Care ah! Don't play sports!!

second post of the week!

2007-10-31T20:37:00.000+08:00

Second post of the week!

"Shawn looks rather act cool here don't you think?"

WAH! You all damn lucky ah! First time I do a back to back post.

First things first... I AM NOT EMO OK!

Last Day of School!

"Jonathan and Hao Lun... still living in the time of Elvis... By the way... the statue is creepy! The endsof the chains have silver hands coming out of the ground... and they call it art..."

Last friday was the last day as a J1. But somehow, didn't really feel anything special. Maybe because I know I'll get to see the 15/17 of my classmates next year. In the morning, Ms Koh made us go to the rock wall and sit in a circle to write something nice about everyone in class. (SO expected, because she made me do this in 1st 3 months) Just like in 1st 3 months... the word "auntie" never failed to appear on my paper... at least the word "motherly" did not come out this time...

My gosh... if Ms Fong (my sec 4 form teacher) were to read this... she would say....
"YEAH LOR YEAH LOR! Bryan Yam is really like my mother! Nag and nag at me to eat more PROPER food." She really did say I was like her mum and even asked if her mum sent me to nag at her.

Anyway.... here are some pictures!

"(from left) As usual Jonathan looks retarded...
Hao Lun looks like he was boiled thus the super red face...
Nathaniel forever acting cute but to no avail...
I look like some mad, fat, young japanese school girl who is on tour in Singapore...
Feng Xian looks the best in this picture!"

"I purposely pulled my pants up to look like pang du du! I look like some super TOOT scholar recieving a prize from fake principal, Darren."

Project work has been fun lately! Only the OP part is fun. The rest is seriously crap.

"Once again, the world's BEST PW group. All happy and free. No wonder Nathaniel has such a long face.."

Oh yes... as promised... my review on "Crazy Ang Mo"
as seen on the last week's issue on Sunday times.

"This is the shop I went to try out yesterday. For once, my comment on a picture is SO BLOODY BORING and SO DUH!"

Anyway... I had Crazy Burger which cost $7.90.

Well it was VERY worth it. The burger was super thick with the patty, cheese, egg, BACON (these people really know how to make me happy), beetroot, tomato and lettuce.

However, just like the food critic in the paper said, the patty was rather thin, but the mix of ingredients made it interesting to eat. When you eat it, it will get VERY VERY messy because the juice will just flow out like a river.

The burger wasn't really anything to scream about. Taste better than those stupid Mcdonalds ones but can't even meet Carl's Junior's standard. I give it a 6 out of 10.

I waited for about 22 minutes. The paper said people could wait up till an hour... Thank God I wasn't there during the peak hour...

As quoted from the food critic in Sunday Times,
"The Ang Mo maybe crazy, but I am not crazy to queue up that long for the food."

Now... as I was blogging... I saw on Grace's msn personal message, "you are talking to an icecream cup." because her display picture was a cup of ice cream...
So.... I decided to talk to this rather strange friend of mine... and this was what happened...

(R)Yam & Yam Consultant Agency(R) I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! says:
hello icecream cup!

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
LOL

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
hello.

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
my blue shade is talking to you right now

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
i'll transfer over to the pink icecream shde (notice the lack of the ability to spell...)

(R)Yam & Yam Consultant Agency(R) I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! says:
ok..

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
LOL

(R)Yam & Yam Consultant Agency(R) I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! says:
u are so lame

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
no,

hey stranger. and if you can take the pain of a broken heart, just let her go. says:
i can walk okay

Then... I read her blog and she said that she was a dinosaur.... at that moment... I imagined a K1 girl running around screaming "RARRH!"

Now for a poem for her...

"Hi! I am Grace! I joined a race! I forgot to tie my lace, so I fell on my face and broke my brace! Oh! I am such a DISGRACE!"

I should have taken literature a long long long time ago. =)

Muahahaha! Grace Tan A Li A LING! Don't threaten me ok! I still got your SUPER unglam photo. WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's all for today folks! Have a nice week!

Bye!

Happy Happy Happy! =D

2007-10-30T16:57:00.001+08:00

Happy Happy Happy! =D

"I didn't have donuts again ok... but I'm still happy!"

First things first... Blogger is still stupid. 3 hours of work went down the drain last night and I'm still not very happy about it. This will only help to justify why I always save my documents THREE TIMES after I type about 2-3 sentences. It really pays to be SUPER KIASU and SUPER SAFE.

Although I'm getting more news of more of my friends retaining and what not in other schools... It won't help if I'm sad. So... screw the emoness. SAY NO TO EMO.

"We will blow up emo people to kingdom come. I HATE emo people."

Ok. Nevermind about emo people. I WANT TO EAT DIM SUM!!! I GOT A CRAVING FOR DIM SUM SUDDENLY!!! By the way, I feel so relaxed now. Because I got no school till 5th Nov. After that, another short break till the 9th when my lessons start again. So... If you want to eat dim sum... CALL ME YOU DODO!

"What DARLINGS!"

Note to readers: Lately, I have been abusing the word "darling". Why? That's because my form teacher keeps calling people "darling" and I was quite amused by it, and though I should try it out myself. So... pardon my excessive use of the word darling these few days or weeks to come. Because when I am "hooked" on to a word... I'll just keep saying it.
So, for now... my packet of tissue is such a darling.

If I don't blog about this... it would be very sad... because it is the FIRST EVER FAM MEETING! (Food aligned movement, those super nice people I met at SMUN who are equally mad about food!)

"We had our pilgrimage to the holy land... Serangoon Gardens Chomp Chomp! Look at the LIGHT coming out from the stalls! "

Feng Xian! The light from the stalls here are MUCH brighter than the temple in our school! Temple is like a shrine while Chomp Chomp is like Vatican City! Got MUCH MUCH more angels ok! (Ok... only Feng Xian, Jonathan and maybe some of my classmates will get this.)

Anyway... Jerrick, Shi Hui, Ying Ting, Melissa and I had...
(those without * are not my cup of tea..)

1) BBQ Chicken Wing!* (Those succulent darlings are SO tasty!)
2) Fried Carrot Cake!* (Not bad! But my house downstairs also around the same standard!)
3) Fried Hokkien Mee!* (Was SHIOK MAN!)
4) Satay!* (Pork satay is the best! The fat makes the REAL difference!)
5) Orh Lua!* (As usual... I LOVE EGGS! But I don't eat the orh..)
6) Sting Ray!
7) Satay Bee Hoon!
8) Coconut!
9) BIG BEEG Sugarcane!* (These mini water tanks save your life in the super stuffy chomp chomp!)
10) Ice Cream!* (See those little cups of heaven below!)

Ate at Haraato I think... can't remember the name.. but the ice cream is good!

(This photo was removed on request of Ying Ting because it was "unglam".)

"To enjoy your food.. must close your eyes and look ugly! LIKE ME! Ying Ting (right) looks like she is biting someone's head off..."

"The damage done! Of course there was less eggs left at the end la!"

Anyway..... WHY FENG XIAN!! WHY!!!!!!! This time Bishan Mrt station going to have business already...

All the nonsense time spent with you... all gone... no more poking... no more screaming the F word at me... no more randomly hitting me... no more drawing smileys on my paper... (EH! I should be happy this stupid DONG BONG MONG is not disturbing me right? WRONG!) no more temple trips... no more... aiya! no more until no more already la!

I WILL MISS YOU BESTFRIEND!!! You better not get a fatter bestfriend next year ok! Or I'm so going to kill you and roast your friend! Stupid Tuk Piak!

And of course not forgetting.... SHAWN KUEK KUEK KUEK!!!

"Don't say I don't miss you ok! I look like a hamster here..."

I am SO going to miss you ok AH BENG! See lah! All the fun people not in the class next year. I am SURE that Hao Lun, Keane and the rest of the class will miss you dearly too. See lah! No more class ah beng to laugh at anymore! You take care ah boy! Must work hard next year! Anything you can always find us to talk or ask stuff ah!

"I'll miss you both!"

Ok lah. This post ends here. Dinner time! I think I'll put up my review of "Crazy Ang Mo" tomorrow or something.

"IKEA MEATBALLS!"

Bye! Take care!

Happy Again!

2007-10-29T18:46:00.000+08:00

OH MY GOD I HATE BLOGGER. THIS WHOLE POST WHICH I TOOK 5 MILLION YEARS DISAPPEARED. BLOGGER IS RETARDED!!! USELESS AUTO SAVE FUNCTION! DON'T KNOW FOR WHAT ALSO! BLOODY HELL.... NO MOOD ALREADY LA.

Happy and Sad...

2007-10-26T19:44:00.000+08:00

Happy and Sad...

The final results are back and I am really happy about my own results. Top 100 again in the level with 61 points! But I am not about to get out the champagne and fireworks to celebrate... Why?

That is because half a million people cannot make it this promos. My dear Feng Xian is gone. Shawn is gone. Xiao Ting is gone. Mervin, Rachel, Ming Yu, Andrew and Shu Qi will also be gone. This is so blah. 4 retaining and 4 leaving the school. There are many more who I do not know who
did not make it too. Some class have half axed out and classes will merge and change as well. I hope the remaineder of 1A10 will remain in tact. Even at times I don't like Ms Koh, I still want her as our form teacher next year. I hope all our tutors will be the same. And for those who cannot promote or did not fair too well, do not be discouraged. No one is stupid. If you were really stupid, you would not have made it to JC.

Of all people, why must Feng Xian retain!!! I am going to miss all the nonsense... =(

No mood to blog already. PW is draining. School is draining. SO what if I am top 100 in SRJC? Just like the principle said, "If I were to put you in RJC, all of you would feel lousy." And that is SO true.

Sorry... I promise I will post my usual happy posts again after pw is over.

Project Work Sucks!

2007-10-19T21:20:00.000+08:00

Project Work Sucks!

I HATE HATE HATE PROJECT WORK! I HATE ALL KINDS OF PROJECT WORK! Ever since primary school, I HATED every project I needed to do. Because projects are just SICK AND WRONG. Whoever introuduced PW in the syllabus, must be dead by now. Because, can you imagine the amount of curses the person recieves in just one year? The person is so screwed lah.

Anyway, won't be posting till after PW and Chinese A's are over. TOO much shit to do. Can't even think properly.

This is so....

Potato....

Bye. School is as stupid as a bunch of screaming chee ko peks in hot oil.

Please declare your "love" for pw on the tagboard.

PROMOS ARE OVER!!

2007-10-06T19:50:00.000+08:00

PROMOS ARE OVER!!

YES!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! DOWN WITH PROMOS!! I HATE/ ABHOR/ DETEST EXAMS!!

Finally it's over!!! I feel so free, yet I feel as if I'm still tied down. Thanks to PROJECT WORK and A'Level CHINESE... But, I'm not going to spoil this happy mood with stupid subjects like PW and chinese.

It's been half a billion years since I blogged and I have been DYING to blog... So.... here goes...
This will be a long long long post. So it will split into sections. (yeah, just like exam papers.)

Section 1 (Promos & food)

The bloody promotional invasion is over!! Now for a report from the Ministry of War Office...

Report from the Ministry of War: "Many casualties have been reported, with some of Britain's allies left devastated and and destroyed. Britain herself was not spared from the onslaught of the promotional forces with certain areas left totally obliterated."

British defences this time were spread so thinly...

That everyone, including women and children were asked to help in the war effort.

"HMS Ceteris Paribus hit by the enemy's new econs class essay torpedoes."

"HMS Malthus under heavy attack at the Straits of Human Geography."

Now for scenes of destruction at other battles,

"Utter destruction after a raid by H2 Math flying fortresses."

Despite the destruction left by promotional forces,

Elaborate celebrations marking the end of the invasion followed.

Jonathan burst out, "JOY TO THE WORLD!!!" after the papers were over. Feng Xian, Shawn, Dorothy, Stephanie, Nathaniel, Hao Lun and Me, went to Takashimaya to eat. It was like FINALLY I can go out and really just walk around aimlessly because I have so much time to waste. I had Omu rice which was very nice and filling! Fried rice wrapped in egg. Topped with 2 meat patties covered in gravy with pieces of beef. PLUS! It had a few pieces of fried chicken, 2 fried scallops and some macaroni!! For $7.80 only!!! Wasted I didn't take a picture of it. I just RARH! and gobbled it all down. =)

OH OH!! WAH! Lucky I didn't forget! Last weekend, I spent $50 on snacks because of promos. Studying for exams sure makes one hungry so...

I bought a box of honey stars, a box of uncle tobys yoghurt coated muesli bars, 3 boxes of japanese biscuits, 10 boxes of pocky, a packet of sausages and a box of waffles.

"Aren't they just beautiful? *Wipes tear away* They are so yummy! But they cost $10.50..."

"Yes... I admit... I smoke... JAPANESE BISCUITS!! They taste so good! They literally melt in your mouth! Well for $4.80 a box they better taste good right?"

"These biscuits taste HEAVENLY!
White chocolate sandwhiched between two pieces of melt in your mouth biscuits!
Wah... I want to eat some more!!"

"These seriously bring back childhood memories! I used to eat them quite a lot when I was young! I love the yoghurt taste! YES I EAT MUESLI BARS AS SNACKS! Sue me lah! Bloody health watchers! GO AWAY! So what if there is "high sugar content" or it is "high in carbo". HELLO! You eating or I eating? I only eat one now ok? I used to eat 3 at a go before a meal."

"Taken before I went to buy the 10 boxes of pocky. What a wonderful sight!"

Two weeks ago, it was my cousin's wedding dinner! So I had...

"Shark's fin soup! Muahahahaha! Damn shiok! I had two bowls!"

P.S: By now you know I don't really care much about sharks eh? But I still love animals la! Unless of course you are a chicken/ pig / duck/ goose/ pigeon/ cow. Because you guys belong on my plate. =)

Three weeks ago, (I think... can't really remember..) I had one of my favourite food...

"SUCKLING PIG!!! A pig in its rightful place. Roasted and waiting for me to eat!"

After all that munching and eating...

See lah! Become fatter already! (Stupid Jonathan took this picture of me. I was eatting donuts. Thats jam on my teeth.)

Section 2 (Shows and movies)

Oh yes, I have been watching Tamil/Hindi movies on Central lately. (Yes, I am mad.) It's because I like watching all the police scenes. All the useless corrupt policemen getting their ass kicked by some hero who some how doesn't get shot even as at least twenty officers fire at him simultaneously. Plus, the stupid bad guy will always have gangsters/ police/both on his side, and the guy is either a big gangster boss/ minister/ chief minister. Plus, the fighting scenes MUST (yes... VERY important) have people flung into glass objects resulting in shattering of glass. (Newer shows now include people thrown into some electrical appliance to have the sparks flying around.) I find it very stupid and yet amusing at the same time. That's why I like it.

"Hmmm... we surrounded the building and had 200 men fire at that guy... but WHERE THE HELL IS HE?!!??"

"Policemen still searching for the bloody hero..."

*Note: I have NOTHING against the Indian police, neither am I suggesting that it is corrupt. I am just talking about the movies.

Oh, before I forget. I watched a Tamil/ Hindi movie (I don't know ok? I'm not Indian.) about 3 weeks ago, and it was called "Jaambhavaan". It was one of the most violent Tamil/ Hindi movie I have ever watched. It was what I would call a melody of death and destruction, because more than half the movie you see people dying, getting beaten up, getting slashed to death, being shot, getting run over by cars, flung around and smashing into things and getting stabbed. What made the movie more enjoyable for me was that the police in the show, let criminals out of the police station without charging them for their crimes because the criminal would be killed by this vigilante guy the moment the criminal is out of the police station. (My favourite kind of ending for criminals in movies or shows.)

Talking about criminals getting their dues, this reminds me about Da Chang Jing! I love that show!

"Da Chang Jing!"
I like it not because of the stupid love story, but the quite well thought out story line, palace corruption, COOKING SCENES (YES, I LOVE IT!) and last but not least, the part where the bad people get caught and punished. (Especially the part where the palace guards are chasing them around.)

"If only I could find a picture of the guards chasing the stupid bad people...
Well this will have to do.."

"My heroes! These must be the not so important gaurds. Those wearing totally red are the "better" ones. I think..."

Section 3 (School)

Promos are bloody sickening. And yes, it has proven once again that exams do drive people insane.

"See for yourself... Taken during PW lesson. The most BORING and USELESS and HOPELESS lesson."

"Stephanie just HAD TO take a picture of our shoes during geog tutorial..."

"2nd picture because Jonathan's shoe was blocked."

"Exams suck the bloody life out of me and the brains of Feng Xian and especially Jonathan."

And.... Here are some stuff that makes me "LOVE" the school...

1) No study break

Yes, SRJC has NO study break. We have NORMAL lessons all the way till before the exams. Our promos started on thursday, and we had lessons till wednesday. Good right? That forced many students to "suddenly fall sick" because the school refused to accept parent letters to excuse us from lessons. Making many to waste valuable time at the polyclinics to queue for cheap MCs and of course money on the MCs.

I know the principal and teachers read our blogs, but, please la. I know the students in SR are weak and the teachers need more time to help the students. But some of us would like some time on our own to study la! Before the exams, the school literally drowns us in work, leaving us hardly any time for our own self revision.

2) 1st Orientation 2008

The school has FORCED all student councilors, class leaders, CCA leaders and Top 50 for MYE students to organise and participate in next year's 1st orientation. This is the first time they are doing this. (Verified by Mr Goh, PE HOD, who told all of us "cream of the crop" to lead the school...") Previously, the school allowed students to volunteer and get teachers to nominate students. But for this year, they are going to force at least a hundred UNWILLING people (they did not give us a choice. They just threw us forms to sign up, stating that we "must be able to make it for the camp". WHAT THE HELL? Schools ends on the 22nd of November for SRJC. The bloody camp is from 26-28th November. On top of that, I am dead sure the school will call us back during december for more shit. So... that leaves me with... OH WOW! NO HOLIDAYS! THANKS SRJC!) If the school is going to force people, then they shouldn't expect a good orientation. And I mean it. History has proven it. Slaves although the cheapest form of labour, are so unproductive, that it is more cost efficient to have machines do their work! So if the school thinks that by forcing the "cream of the crop" to do the 1st orientation is going to give SRJC a good reputation, they have been sadly disllusioned.

I know I don't normally rant and complain this much. Because I make it a point not to flame anyone on my blog or post emo stuff. But this time, I can't take this injustice thrust upon me and my fellow "cream of the crop" people. So for all you people, who think that SRJC is a fun lovely place, where people are happy 90% of the time as seen in my blog. You have been sadly mistaken. Because I filter all the shit out and only put the happy stuff on my blog.

Anyway, the people in SRJC are really nice and that's what makes it bearable. And after complaining, I feel much happier now!

Section 4 (Random)

The bloody weather has been really unbearable lately. Last night, I couldn't even play mahjong with my grandma, mum and auntie properly. It was so hot, we gave up after a few rounds. Then, because my auntie won so much, (Which is not usual) she brought us to have roti prata for supper!

This morning I went to Thomson for Dim Sum with Stefanie, Jo-Lynn and Zi Xian! I really miss the 1st 3 months people. Even those still in SR I hardly have time to talk to them. Such as Nicolette. The only 1st 3 month person that I get to see very often and talk to often is Sharon. 1st 3 months were so fun....

Oh! And I had so much fun and children's club today! It has been 3 weeks since I went there because of the promos. It was so fun to play with the kids after tuition time! Felt so happy, running around like a little boy. And Fidelia (one of the helpers) said that me and Stefanie looked much happier this week. We asked why, and she said because our promos were over!!

Because Feng Xian has been bugging me with words of "love" and "encouragement" to blog... This post is dedicated to that stupid woman.

"HMPH! Hope you like it!"

That's all everyone! Better appreciate ok! I spent 4 hours on this post! Take care and God bless! (Especially those still having exams and what not.)

Bye!

Happy Teacher's Day!!!

2007-08-31T17:01:00.000+08:00

Happy Teacher's Day!!! *editted at 7.57pm, 2 Sep*

"Ms Then the COOL pink pants person going for her rock climbing test!"

Hmmm... you must be wondering why I'm blogging, since I stated in my last post that I won't be blogging until promos are over. BUT, because I am in a SUPER good mood today, and I have some time to burn to churn out this post for all you lovely aunty uncles out there. So here goes...!

First, I want to declare that I love Sharon Tan Bao Ru!!

"Yeah, that guyot beside me is Sharon. And she looks weird without specs."

I love her because she gave me this beautiful flower today!!! Yay!!! My first flower I have ever recieved!! So touching!! I'm not a teacher and yet I got a flower!!

Sharon, next term you better take bus with me more often ok? I'm suffering from Sharon Deficiency Syndrome.

Secondly, I also love Nicolette Ng Zi Ning!! Why?

"Well... because she looks retarded (as shown in the above photo) and because she is so caring and nice! Thanks for the card today!!

And last but not least, My dearest bestfriend in school!! Sophia Kong Feng Xian/ Dong Bong Mong!

**** I have removed Feng Xian's Sleeping picture in exchange for donuts!! If I didn't remove, no donuts... So yeah, donuts more important!!*******

Thanks Feng Xian for buying me a mechanical pencil (because I lost mine and kept using hers)!!
Whee!! I can't wait to see what it looks like man! Bong Mong is THE BEST FRIEND EVER!!
Eh, my FIRST bestfriend I ever have ok. She is so retarded that I've become retarded too.
And not the other way round! She has been a super duper good friend!

Thanks for: (Long list leh)
Listening to all my nonsense, all my cooking suggestions when I'm hungry, "selling" your tighs to me
when I'm hungry to cook "meat of the day", helping me name different days, listening to my silly problems, letting me disturb you when I'm in a bad mood and for just being there for me!

"Prove of our retardedness! So fun right?"

And... you are the only person who has heard me use the most vulgarities, especially your favourite F word. You see lah! You are such a bad influence! Tsk tsk. Must mission civilatrice! (It means to make her more civilised. If you still don't know what it means, ask your H2 history friends.)

We are Square!!! (Only both of us will get this!)

I LOVE YOU BEST FRIEND!!!

I feel so loved and fortunate today! One day get 3 stuff! Yay!!

Ok enough of all the "thank you, you". Now I want to declare that Nato is Cool. Ok nevermind.

"The REAL Nato Flag! So cool right?"

"The founding members of Nato!"

"Anglo(Me)-Dutch(Amos) Treaty. Yes, I know its lame. But what to do? You go mad after a while in JC."

"Dorothy, representing Malaya! SO nice right? I chose it for her! Apparently, Malaya is not under British rule.. but rather Spanish rule.... hmmm....." (Only the class people will get this.)

Ok, nevermind this is getting really retarded.

"I like this picture! Shows my love for America! It just says it all!"

Now reporting live from...

"The Chinese Communist Headquarters in Singapore (eh bluff one ah! It only looks communist ok?)"

Chairman Mao declares that Yuen Xian Liang is smelly. Why? Because he made me go on stage today to do a live dedication. My face is Officially thrown all over the place. My bloody hands were shaking like mad when I was on stage, but I want to thank all my classmates and friends who cheered me on (especially Feng Xian & Hao Lun) when I went up. I heard from Feng Xian that a certain group of people I know were laughing at me when I was doing the dedication. (I sound as if I am going to kill them right? I'm too nice and compassionate lah. *Wipes tears away* I cannot stand it! Why am I so kind??").

Yeah so Xian Liang, You are smelly. Don't you dare disturb me until I am happy. You better declare that France is smelly, The British Empire is forever the greatest and responde si vu play to you!!!

Now on a happier, SMELLY free note.

This is my locker! I love it and so should you!
Some say it looks like a mama shop while some more sensible people say that it is "heaven".
WAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My locker is so much better stocked than my locker buddy!!

"See! I am so happy!!!"

"I love my grandmother and my sister (to a lesser extent, because there are too many Bernices)"

And now for retarded shooting photos!

"Sheryl-Lynn in all her retarded glory. This is the kind of photos that I put when you call me! =)"

"Shu Qi, I like to call her Ah Shu Jie. Sounds so nice right?"

"Aww... Ming Yu looks so sweet right? Well, YOU HAVE BEEN DECIEVED!!! The most CHOR LOR girl I have ever met. You would have thought she just came out of the army or something. Tsk tsk tsk. But at least she is nice lah."

"Henry is so cool man! He shoots VERY VERY WELL. Always mission accomplished."

"Erm... no comments. Use your imagination or ask Timothy (the one hugging me) or Felix"

Now for all you sad sods out there who are in desperate need for entertainment. Here are some stuff I scanned!

"Taken from a card I made for Grace!"

"In tribute of Dorothy! She is so promiscious, she has caused a population explosion in Africa. Now they have brought her back to Singapore to curb the ageing population!"

To end of this ridiculously long post which I took 3 and a half hours to do... Happy Teacher's Day to EVERYONE! Because everyone is a teacher to someone in one way or another! And if you love my blog, please tell and declare your love!
(Yeah I am retarded, but I want to know who is reading mah.)
And this blog was created by...

My Good Friend, Joshua!! (a.k.a: Mr Tan)
So yeah, thank him, not me!

Yeah, so Bye! Take care and God bless and all the best for all your blahs. Really no more posts until after promos. (Control yourself ah Bryan...)

Love your mother father day!

2007-08-24T22:00:00.000+08:00

Love your mother father day!

"I LOVE my mum! And I look like a ang pao.."

Yes, I declare today "Love your mother father" day. Why? It is because, I have heard of stories of people who have never/ not in a VERY long time/ hardly told their parents that they love them,
and I think it is very saddening.
The very people who care and love you the most
(Yes, WAY much more than your silly girlfriend and boyfriend will shower on you.)
and yet, you don't tell them you love them?!!?? WAH LAO EH!
Furthermore, I am officially going off the deep end thanks to the ever nearing Promotional Exams.

To prove to you that I'm not some mad idiot trying to get you to tell your parents you love them, I have EVIDENCE!

"today's my mum's 45th birthday. even though she's really fierce, i know she's really means well. yayy, i love her. :))))))) i've never ever told her that before, not a single 'i love you, mummy.' but i do. i really do. i hope when i ever have the courage to say that to her, it won't be too late. :S"

Adapted from a 19th August 2007 blog post.

Sad right? So what are you waiting for? Go and tell them you love them!!! It will not only give your parents a weird warm and fuzzy feeling inside but also make you happy too! (Just like the feeling you get by looking at the cute baby below!)

"Oh wait.... wrong feeling. Sorry, next please!" *This is Grace's cousin, Bernice! Wah so many Bernice man...
must scold my sister for being a Bernice.*

Lately in school, I have been declaring each day a certain day. (Eh, sorry lah. School has been as interesting as watching a cow doing big business ok!) Last Friday, was Signature Day because that stupid Feng Xian kept signing her name on every piece of paper she saw.

Monday was Biscuit Day, for reasons I myself am not clear off (Probably because I went to buy 7 boxes of Pocky and 3 boxes of Hello Panda to put in my locker?)

"Famously known as Pandawana in Barker Road, because it is rather addictive."

Tuesday was "You're a star day!" because Feng Xian drew a nice star on my stapler and used it as a chop. Then she kept saying "You're a star!" and she sounded as if she was trying to sell something. To prove that Feng Xian is stupid... Here is a video taken last friday to prove it!

Me: Huh! Fengxian is a b**ch you know. See how ugly she is! Look at her ugliness! Huh Huh! Look at her ugliness! Ah!
Feng Xian: Ah! GO AWAY!
Me: Stupid lah huh!
Feng Xian: You're so disgusting and sweaty!
Me: Stupid stupid! Look at the stupidity man!
Feng Xian: SHUT UP LA BRYAN!
Bryan: UGLY! UGLY!
*Nathaniel's mumbling in the background*
Me: Fengxian is bloody stupid you know?

*Words from the video taken from Feng Xian's blog.*

Aiya, the rest of the days are interesting and stupid la. Test here, test there, test everywhere.

Here are some photos so you can imagine what happened in school,

"It is the 7th month now, and Feng Xian needed to practice pasting yellow paper on ghosts heads. So I became a practice dummy..."

"Me during math tutorial... and Mr Cheu still says that Math is a game and graphs are "Beautiful pictures".... HELLO???"

Mr Cheu (in SUPER Enthusiastic voice): "Ok! Lets have some fun now! Turn to your tutorial 6.2 on integration!"
What the...? But Mr Cheu is a very dedicated math teacher!

"This picture says it all. This is what I have been doing for a large part of the fortnight. Good job Feng Xian!"

Ok that's enough nonsense for now. Time to sidetrack...

"Everytime I see this picture, I feel as if I'm in Hong Kong. Because it looks so Hong Kong."

I want to go on a holiday! No school, no homework, no tests and promotional exams. Just eat, play, sleep. Somewhere with a nice scenery....

"AH! Somewhere like that! But must have good food there lah. If not no point..."

Scenes of Death and Destruction when Siti was away in Indonesia...

"Looks like someone bombed my bed..."

"My kitchen looks more like a water collection centre..."

"My room in all its messy glory."

Then...

Siti to the rescue! "Hello my name Siti, I am smelly."

Mum: "Yay! I don't have to do the housework and cook for my ungrateful children! Back ache ah! Back ache ah!! Siti!!! After you wash the clothes, massage my back."

"WAH! So neat!!"

"Siti Magic!"

On an even more random note....

"My favourite Ang Mo Kio vegetarian bee hoon!"

"My Church's "Holy" water, JC (Jesus Christ) plus!"

Remember to tell your parents you love them! Or else....

"We will arrest you! We are watching.... =) "

Hold on.... Something is wrong...

Radar man 1: "Sir! Promotional forces have been sent by the Ministry of Evil of Ruapehu!"
Radar man 2:" They will be attacking our dominions in about 34days time..."

Oh shit...

Their troops are ready...

Their ships are coming...

And their planes are all over the radar screens....

General Percival declares that this blog will be closed until the invasion of the promotional forces are over.

Yes, young ones. I am sorry but I have to close the blog temporarily, until the promos are over.
If you don't want me to close, then you do my exam for me lor! You guys have to study too!
Work hard ok everyone!

Good Bye! Take care and God Bless! All the best for the promotional exams and what not.

Happy National Day!

2007-08-10T13:24:00.000+08:00

Happy National Day!

"Since its national day, I should at least put at least 1 picture of Singapore in this post, so nah. Enjoy the GLORY of Bishan. PEOPLE (erh herm, those losers in my class who live in Bedok- Tampines-Loyong area) who say that Bishan is a "ulu maluku" place, obviously are bloody stupid, because places such as LOYANG is OBVIOUSLY 8 billion km further from the CDB than Bishan. Bishan is so central la. Even property prices have proven it."

YAY!!!! Happy National Day!!!! I'm not being patriotic or anything... but because there is a LONG weekend!!!

I just realised that 2 weeks have passed, and it is time for me to blog once again. This week has been fun! With "wear your own clothes day" and national day celebrations. First time I'm taking part in a "wear your clothes" day kind of thing and first time I enjoy national day celebrations organized by the school.

"Wear your own clothes" day, 7 august, tuesday.

Because the weather was bloody hot and all, I decided to wear VERY VERY casual. The principal commented that I looked as if I were going to the beach, while other teachers said I looked liked I was going to the market. Almost everyone else dressed up really nicely, except those Goth and punk ones. (P.S: I HATE Goth and punk. I think it is repulsive.) Nicolette and Wei Yun looked liked real Indians, there is this guy called James, wear until like mafia, very cool ok. Then there are some people who wear as if they are looking for customers in Geylang.

Below are some pictures from that day.

"I love my dear Feng Jie! Although you are such a guyot, school will suck without you! =)"

"My geog tutorial group! Looks so poly eh?"

"The coolest project work group in the WHOLE of Singapore. We look as if we are trying to sell something, or promote a restaurant... although Jonathan still looks as retarded as ever..."

"Dorothy looks like a chimpanzee in this picture! Oh my!! She must have escaped from the zoo!"

"Grace and Nicolette look Indian right? Don't mind the gays (Ryan,Saran and Faiz(top)) on the right.."

"OH MY GOODNESS! Miss THEN (in the middle) in CHIJ uniform! AHAHAHAAHAHA!!!"

National day celebrations

The school organized a special thanks giving concert to thank the students for raising funds for the school and HCA hospice. And the show was really GOOOD! The teachers really put a lot of effort into it. Plus MANY teachers took part in it including the pricincipal and vice principals! However, it would have been better if we were not packed into the hall.. Not like I am thin you know...

"Start of the performance. Discere Servire sounds like a insult dosen't it? I mean, you wouldn't like it if I said you are very discere servire right?"

"It was rather boring before the show started, so our dear Dong Bong Mong started to cam whore.."

"My GP teacher, Mr Chacko, acting as Macbeth's wife!! I seriously didn't understand all the "Romeo romeo, thou art die on the floor" parts. Too literaturish for me. "

"The principal ended of the show by singing, If we hold on together, and our gay friends here, (from left) Shawn, Amos and Keane (who looks like some experiment gone wrong in this picture) decided to sing along."

After the show was over... we headed of to Jalan Kayu (because SOME people in my class stay in ULU areas such as the WEST of Singapore), for roti prata (which I feel is SERIOUSLY over rated, and tastes horrid).

"All of us cheap thrillers so amazed by taking the LRT, especially our friend Feng Xian who lives inside a rock."

"I look like a retard endorsing a plate of unedible prata."

"Dorothy looks like jar jar binks, Nathaniel looks like he is trying to be a punk and I look like... erm don't know what lah."

"Wah! Seriously, Stephanie really looks very happy with food eh? I love her pictures with food!"

"Finally Jonathan looks less retarded. Hmm Stephanie looks rether sly here..."

Just to prove that school really tires people out... below are pictures of people sleeping.
Don't worry Grace, I won't put your picture up, unless of course... you piss me of. Then maybe, JUST maybe I'll put it up. =)

"Hao Lun's picture is seriously super unglam. (Taken during Geog lecture)"

"Jonathan looks so comfortable! I really think this looks very peaceful for some strange and mysterious reason."

"Dorothy sleeping like a pig before econs lecture."

"Stephanie sleeping picture looks nice too! Unlike Hao Lun's."

"Shawn looks like he is emoing instead of sleeping..."

"My dearest Amos sleeping in tutorial."

"Your's truly, sleeping..."

Oh yes I bought this super cool book!

"Empire, How Britiain made the modern world. So cool right? RULE BRITANNICA!"

Ok lah, don't know what to blog already. Bye! Take care and God bless! Have a great 2 weeks ahead!

"Cheerio old chaps!"

School is smelly! (Part 2)

2007-07-27T21:47:00.000+08:00

School is smelly! (Part 2)

"This is what I think school is! It is smelly like this dustbin!"

School has been really stupid, because of all the homework. It has been really tiring and draining, but nevermind! I only have to slog like this till next year. Anyway... let's start this so called "long awaited" post.

-------------------------------**Added at 5.20pm 28July**------------------------------------

Feng Xian and Shawn didn't go to school yesterday... it was rather boring without them. But they missed out alot in terms of what went on in class and also with work.

Amos is really really nice to sleep on!! His arms are nice and soft, but not too soft! Really nice pillow! Plus he dosen't have B.O! Wah damn shiok to sleep man. Whoever who is his girlfriend is really really lucky! Oh yes, Amos went mad after lightning struck very near our school during chinese lesson. He repeatedly asked Nathaniel if he smoked and then took Keane's liquid paper and pretended to smoke... The weird things lightning can do eh?

"Amos: Got do D?"

Stupid STUPID Feng Xian pang seh me. Hmph! Go marry a kah chuak lah you.

"She is probably calling woodbridge to book a room there."

OH MY GOSH!!! TUESDAY IS A VERY HOLY DAY! Why? Because... THERE IS REAL DEEP FRIED CHICKEN AND FISH AND WHAT NOT SOLD IN SCHOOL ON THAT DAY!!!! (Yeah, I know I'm mad.)

----------------------------End of additional part-----------------------------------------------

The things that keep me sane:

-God (Abit the DUH right...)

-PW lessons
You must be thinking to yourself now... "WHAT THE *phone rings*??!!?? Is Bryan mad???" I like PW lessons because..... it is the MOST slack period. I can use the computer to do random stuff, sleep or finish up whatever work I have. Best of all, in air-condition comfort! The next point further explains why I like PW lessons...

-Food Blogs!!

"Japanese FOOOD!!!!! I WANT!!! (Picture from Kai Jun's trip to Japan)"

These are the only websites that I go to other than friendster during PW lessons, I tell you... talking about food and looking at food really helps you distress and also makes you hungry!! My whole PW group will be looking and talking about food! Then we will be "ooing" and "ahing" when we look at all the good food! I went mad on thursday while looking at all the food and talking about food till half the class became hungry!! I WANT TO GO FOR A FOOD TOUR!! Damn it lah! I only have been surfing for food blogs this year!! What kind of a foodie am I!!! ARRRRRRGH!!! Ok, nevermind, here are some foodie blogs you should check out! ieatishootipost.blogspot.com, pathofayoungchef.blogspot.com. This is really only why I love PW lessons now.

"Stephanie has found true happiness! I should get this kind of picture of everyone in the class!"

-Nonsense with my classmates

The nonsense that I have with my classmates really makes school MUCH MUCH more bearable. Below will be a series of short nonsense stories...

1) Math Lectures! o.O o.o O.o

Math lectures are retarded because it starts at 3.30 and ends at 5pm. How to absorb? And I don't think math lectures are effective. Math lectures are the only lectures which are slack and we can do weird stuff like.... type messages and jokes with our graphic calculators, go to "toilet" but actually to the old cafe to have a bite or just chat, eat during lectures, and...

-Cam whore....

"Feng Xian looks like a retard, who is amazed that she can take her own photo. Tsk tsk, typical bimbo, no brain lah that stupid woman."

-Sleep...

"Mr Kuek (Left) and Mr Mok sleeping away"

"Me doing my work, Hao Lun sleeping like a pig and Xian Liang being gay."

-Writing nonsense on post it notes and pasting it on people's backs....

"I was taking a photo of the post it note, and not that ugly Nathaniel!"

2) Before Council investiture

I can't remember when it was but nevermind. We went into a empty classroom like we usually do when we have free periods, we were very bored and not very motivated to do our work... then Feng Xian decided to draw her dream home on the whiteboard.

"This is her quaint little dream home which is only worth $100,000. Probably made from cardboard and scrap metal, or maybe
because she is staying there, thats why the house has devalued. Then again, her house has a weird looking sheep which looks more like a bald man wearing a fur coat crawling on the floor."

So I had to draw a REAL dream home, to show her that her's was crap.

"Initial drawing. See how big and nice this house is! There is a parade square and a statue surrounded with fountains. Dorothy commented it looked very imperialistic. =) I love that word!"

"House with power plant shifted so that the smoke dosen't blow to my house."

"Final drawing with perimeter wall and watch towers."

3) Insulting stupid people like Dorothy and Feng Xian

Feng Xian was being a kah chuak monkey one day, so I decided to write her a little note with on her history lecture book.

It reads: Feng Xian is the worst friend ever! And she sucks backside. Dong Bong Mong! (Her real name because she is from Vietnam)

Then... The class recently found out that Dorothy was doing the nation proud! That promiscuous person has had given birth to half of China's children and also a million African children and many more in South East Asia. So much so that she has been saving $5 to go for an abortion at KK hospital. (According to my GP teacher, KK hospital charges $5 for an abortion. But that shouldn't give you any funny ideas ok. Because they will want to know the child's father. So think twice about your hanky panky thingys.) And Dorothy has this famous "4 o'clock face". Why? It was because there was one day, she slept at 4am and she was very pmsey that day. She also had this retarded "My pms mode is on" face. So I called it the 4 o'clock face. (I'll upload a really retarded drawing of her face next time.) But the picture below will have to do for now.

"Look how retarded Dorothy looks with Feng Xian. This is her typical 4 o'clock face."

Ok thats enough for the short stories. Now, this week Xian Liang was being an irritating guyot like he usually is. But this week was especially irritating since I was sleepy for 5/5 of the days. Sleepy Bryan= Grumpy Bryan. So here is one part dedicated to show how irritating Xian Liang is. And NO XIAN LIANG. I WILL NOT DELETE THIS PART. Because you are a stupid pei du ma ma who insults me and apologises but still continue to insult me. NO EXCUSE even if you are sian. Find a new target you stupid application question.

"Xian Liang acting cute..."
Next is my FAVOURITE picture of him!

"Hi! Me name is Xian Liang. Got any money phobem can find me. Plofessional loan shark. Call 1900-Xian-Liang-Ah-Beng."

Then... I have retarded teachers in school as well...

I have a WONDERFUL econs lecturer who is monotonous and can't pronounce words properly.
"Let us look at the FIGLES (figures) to see how much BURGELS (burgers) the firm has sold, in order to find the EKERIUM (equilibrium) price. EZZERENEL (Instituitional) factors.." What the??

AND OH MY GOODNESS! SITI MY MAID IS LEAVING TOMORROW!!! Because of her sister's wedding. Die lah. No maid for 2 weeks. DIE LAH. I always had a miad since I was born... so yeah... And I'm afraid of my mum's cooking because it is quite queer sometimes and also too healthy and bland.

"Hmm... do I have money for a temporary maid and to eat out?"

Oh yes, and I found out that people who I don't even know read my blog. I find it a bit scary. But if you like my blog, thanks for visiting!

So sorry wanted to blog yesterday night but was too tired. Needed a break from all the work and all, plus catch up on sleep. So this so called "long awaited" post by some people ends here.

Have a great weekend and fortnight ahead! See you in a fortnight young chewren!

"1A10 says goodbye to all of you and Ms Tan( my econs teacher)! Why must she leave.... now got noob teacher to teach us..."

School is smelly! (Part 1)

2007-07-27T16:03:00.000+08:00

School is smelly! (Part 1)

Hello people! I'm now blogging from school, during extra PW lesson. PW lesson is very BORING!
This week has been really tiring and sian. There is FAR TOO MUCH work! Give so much work how to study?

I WANT TO GO HOME AND SLEEP!!! But I still got CCA after this....

Stupid Dong Bong Mong (Feng Xian) never come to school today... stupid woman pon school! So boring lah!

Oh dear... its 4.05pm now... And Dorothy's 4 o'clock face is out!!!

Sorry for this nonsense post. Will be blogging later tonight.

Victory in Europe Day!

2007-07-13T21:46:00.000+08:00

Victory in Europe Day! *Editted on 14th July, at 9.53pm*
**All the editted parts are in BOLD**

"Search light beams in London form a "V" for VICTORY!"

The Imperial Foreign Affairs department would like to congratulate Xian Liang for being the 4th in the arts cohort, top H2 geography student, winner of the Geog mindmap competition and being selected to represent the school for the MOE excel fest! (most probably the top in class too!)

"Aww... looks scholarly dosen't he? Well, those glasses have NO DEGREE and were bought for more than $100 (can't really rememeber the exact price, so don't bug me lah!) just so that he will look not so "pai kia" for pre-u sem. Basket! He think he printing money isit??!?? Don't mind Dorothy, she is just as significant as the two trees at the back."

P.S: Only people in 1A10 will know why this post is called "Victory in Europe Day". If your backside will become itchy if you don't know why, then ask me lor.

**Additional Part** OH YES! I forgot! I found this super cool foodie blog during History tutorial yesterday! It is sallylovestoeat.blogspot.com

Oh well, looks like I'm blogging again this weekend. But I'm going to make this short.
This week has been a bloody rush and was quite tired most of the week. SO, I'm going to sleep like at 11pm tonight!! (I Don't care what you think. After God and food, sleep is the next most important thing!)

I want to Thank God for helping me pass ALL my subjects and getting a grand total of 54/80 points overall.
H2:
History: B (I was expecting a C)
Economics: E (bloody hell... so disappointing!!)
Geography: E
H1:
Math: A (9th in the level!! Wah I feel so clever! Yeah right... it is only H1!!!)
GP: D (Very disappointing too...)
Chinese: C (WHAT THE? Bryan's Chinese is better than his GP??!!?? Has he become CHEENA? NO!!!!)

Conduct: Very Good!!! (Abit the DUH right?)

Because I got more than 30/80 overall and didn't get a "fair" conduct grade... My parents didn't have to come down to school for a teacher pao toh student session today. Unfortunately, 11/17 of my classmates parents have to go! SO stupid I tell you! The school is too fierce already!

VICTORY!!!! (By now, you must think I'm mad...)

Ok... Thats all children!! I need to sleep!! See you next week or a fortnight later! Have a blessed 2 weeks ahead!

"Cheers!"

Results are back...

2007-07-08T01:59:00.000+08:00

Results are back...

Yes people, I am finally blogging... So interesting to read my blog meh? Funny lah all of you. Anyway, some of my results are back. And I really must thank God for passing all my subjects so far. Gp--D, Math (H1)--A [I worked really hard for this ok!], History--B (would not have gotten this without the fill in the blanks marks) & Chinese (54/100)--D.

I'm quite disappointed about my Gp results, but at least I passed.
I really don't know what to say about my chinese results, I really owe it all to God, my chinese
tuition teacher and chinese teacher. It is really a miracle considering the fact that I got higher than Xian liang and Shawn (former Nan Chiau students). For math, I really practiced like mad for it. Mr Cheu, my math teacher, was really shocked that I got an A for the math paper. This is because, I am not listening during math lectures like 75% of the time and totally immersed in my own world during tutorials. For history, I expected a D, I got a D for the essay, but the fill in the blanks pulled my grades up. I haven't got back my econs and geog results... I'm not expecting much for econs, because I know I screwed up my DRQ and wrote too short for part b of the essay question. Oh well, whats done has been done. No point crying over spilt milk.

Shawn and Nathaniel were in a bad mood after they recieved their papers back because they did badly. Shawn is seriously scary when he is not in a good mood. He was especially unhappy that he did badly for chinese. I mean, he was from Nan Chiau after all... That silly boy ate 5 Ricola sweets at ONE GO. I mean what the what lah! He is going to kill himself at this rate man...

Anyway... on a lighter note...
I was really slow and random this week because I am still recovering from the MYEs. And thanks to all my weirdness... I have created 2 new things!
You must be thinking... oh no... what nonsense is Bryan thinking of now...

Yes... They are KAH CHUAK MONKEY and IDIOT BIRD.
By the way, Kah Chuak monkey's hands were actually drawn wrongly, but because it made it look more retarded... So I decided not to change it.
Idiot bird was also a product of a drawing gone wrong. It was supposed to be a surprised looking
bird looking at the retarded kah chuak monkey, but because my drawing is horrendous... I drew that sick looking thing I call idiot bird. I called it idiot bird because I drew it wrongly.

Now for the origins of kah chuak monkey... it is much more interesting. During PW lesson, I was pissed with Feng Xian for some reason I can't remember, but anyway she is a guyot. So I wanted to tell her to go to "survey kah chuak" instead of "survey monkey" (a website that we put our pw survey on). But because I was rather slow and still recovering from the MYEs, I accidentally said "kah chuak monkey". Then Feng Xian laughed at me and thought I was being retarded as usual. (Well that's the truth, BUT anyway...) Then I thought to myself what would a kah chuak monkey look like... and KAH CHUAK MONKEY WAS BORN. So... both stupid creatures are a result of mistakes. And by the way one of my teacher's earned the title of "idiot bird".

I would like to apologise to Dorothy for being a guyot (but that doesn't mean that she isn't one). Because I took a picture of her and kah chuak and she was very pissed... tsk tsk... like that also angry... some more scold me on your blog. Thank God I never got to see it. At least you edited the scolding part.

Now on a random note, I am so glad that Nicolette has recovered from chicken pox and returned to school! It so nice of you to write such a sweet testimony for me on friendster, I might as well
write one here so everyone can see. Nicolette Ng Zi Ning! It has been really nice knowing you this short period since first 3 months! Thanks for praying for me and nagging at me not to eat too much, and all the unhealthy food and stuff. Chicken pox still can make me and other people cards... funny la you... Keep shining for the Lord!!

"Nicolette (right), Stefanie (left), sorry nicolette got not much pictures of you..."

On an even more random note...

"My favourite sign which can be found in ACJC"

If you found this post weird, then too bad. Blogging at 2am to 3am to stop people from asking me to blog will guarantee you a weird post like this. And this will be the first time this year that I slept at 3am... I will be blogging once every fortnight from this post onwards, as the workload
has been steadily increasing... I'm really sorry about it. For all those who did not fair too well for their mid-years, please don't feel sad or feel stupid. Because I believe none of you are stupid. The mid-years are over, so let's forget about it and move on. Learn what went wrong and do not do it again. No point harping over it. For those who did well, congrats!

Eh! Please help me do my PW survey!! Click Here to take survey. Thanks!

That's all for this week young chewren! Have a great fortnight ahead!

SAY NO TO STUDYING! (At least for a while, please?)

2007-06-28T12:36:00.000+08:00

SAY NO TO STUDYING! (At least for a while, please?)

Hello young ones! I'm blogging today because I don't feel like studying for my math now! *Throws math books out of the window* I REFUSE TO STUDY!!! (For a while lah). Luckily I don't have any papers today, so I can take my time to rest and do abit of math for tomorrow.
Although I usually blog on weekends, I won't be doing so this week because I won't have time to do so this week! Saturday, I'll be going to the barker carnival then head down to Eugene's house for a good old mahjong session, while talking about the good old days and having roast pork and lots of other food.

Update on last week...
Last week, I spent the entire week busy studying for the MYEs. Yeah so nothing much to blog about other than studying...

This week...

Our troops were put on high alert to prepare for the invasion by the mid-year examinations. We assumed our defences were strong enough to hold out against the enemy, but we were seriously deceived....

The first blow came when the enemy broke through our defences on monday and into British controlled territory in the battle of economics. Our forces were no match against the enemy's new DRQ (Data response question) tanks and time was not on our side during the battle. (I didn't really know how to answer the DRQs and I couldn't finish my essay as usual.. I write bloody slow.)

And of course, we were totally unprepared for the Chinese invasion on monday too, which left a few cities devastated. Our intelligence agency was unable to understand the codes used by the chinese and therefore could not predict where or when they would strike.
(What the hell lah, what is the use of helping words when you don't even understand them
?? And the stupid Nan chiau people all declared that the chinese paper was a piece of cake!!)

On tuesday, reports of a massive landing of history and geography troops that would reach our defences on wednesday, left much of Britain in fear.
(I was so stressed out on tuesday ok... because I was so unmotivated to study.)

Bombing raids by the geogs left dozens of towns and cities in flames. However the battle against the history forces was more successful. (Geography I think I'm screwed, 4-5 line answer for a 9 marks question. Sure Mission Failed. History wasn't so bad, at least I wrote 4 pages but still couldn't finish the essay.)

Yesterday after the battles, citizens were left to pick up the pieces for the last battle tommorow. But news came that there was another Chinese invasion planned next tuesday... (My brain couldn't work properly yesterday after the Geog and History papers, I was thinking super slowly and it was proven when I was talking to my classmates after the exams and when I went out with Stefanie to get Sharon birthday presents.)

Thank God that Feng Xian asked me to give her a crash course for history because she claims that she didn't touch her history. I rushed her through about less than 2/3 of what we had to study and she couldn't take it anymore. Then whatever I taught her came out for the 50 fill in the blanks. About 30-35 of the questions were asking the stuff I taught her! So it was a form of revision
for me while I taught her. So now you know the benefits of teaching people! So don't be a selfish idiot when someone asks you for help.

On a side note, I have found out how scary people can be when they like someone. One great example would be Grace...

"I stole this picture from her blog, anyway... the ice-cream looks good!"
She dosen't look that scary right? But OH MY GOODNESS! She goes mad when you say a certain person's name. She even went to the extent to check wheter she would be sitting beside him during the exam...

I guess I better get going. Good luck to all who have papers tomorrow and to all those who have
/ will be finishing their exams have fun!

I miss 4A4!

4 lecture books waiting to be read...

4 lecture books waiting to be read...

Hello everyone! If you haven't realised, I only blog once a week, during the weekends. (I'm saying this because I don't want any of you to waste your time coming to my blog.)

This week has been really fun and boring at the same time. Monday was the most productive day of the week as I somehow managed to sit down and just do my work for 6 and a half hours. But of course that burnt me out totally for tuesday. Wednesday erm, so forgettable other
than the part of going to NTUC for grocery shopping with Jo-Lynn.

Thursday I went out with Dorothy, Stephanie, Shawn, Nathaniel and Jonathan to Sentosa to relieve stress. I felt that the weather was rather hot, but Shawn and Dorothy were not convinced as they have experienced worse. Hey! Can't blame me. After all I would rather stay in the shade then going for sun baking.

Here are some sad low quality photos from Sentosa because no one brought a camera...

"Shawn emoing, or is he doing something else like looking at certain things? "

"Shawn studying at the beach... wah lau..."

At the beach, because I had nothing to do, I started burying Jonathan, Stephanie and Dorothy. As I was sprinkling sand on them, I felt like I was seasoning meat with spices and what not (a.k.a sand) and then baking it in the sun. Yes I know I am weird and I can't stop thinking of food, but TOO BAD.

"Roast Pork anyone? I'm wearing sunglasses because without them I can't see this beautiful rainbow ring surrounding the sun that day. It was super cool."

Apparently, Dorothy is SO UGLY that blogger refuses to upload any of her pictures. So yeah, blogger saved you guys from an ugly bugger. THANKS BLOGGER!

After baking in Sentosa, we headed to Vivo City for lunch at Carl's Junior!!!!! It is super delicious and yes I couldn't eat dinner again... After lunch we went to watch Fantastic 4, it wasn't that fantastic. But Xian Liang insisted on watching it because it starred his "girlfriend" Jessica Alba. Wait long long Xian Liang, only if homework and tests is abloished in Singapore then you MAY have a chance. Was quite sad that Feng Xian couldn't join us because she has a lung infection and had to stay at home to rest. GET WELL SOON FENG XIAN!!!

Then yesterday had a really really fun time at Edwina's house. It was another 1st 3 months people gathering and we played BRIDGE!!! YAY!! I played mahjong while some others continued with bridge and pool. Then we went out for dinner at Fish & Co. for fish and chips! Super crunchy oily goodness! It was really nice seeing all the 1st 3 months people together again, but it was a pity John, Zi Xian, Anne, Keith, Natalie and the rest couldn't join us.

Now, I totally forgot that after SMUN, I find mugging "cool". I mean dosen't it feel good that you have done your work and studied? Like got some sense of accomplishment. You may think I'm weird but at least pretend it is till the mid-years/ common tests/ block tests are over. The strange things that happen to you when you mix with top school people.

Here are more pictures of the Food Aligned Movement,
First... our blur and blank look series... a.k.a the "hurh! look"

"Me. They all said I had the perfect brain dead vegetable look."

"I only have one word for Jerrick, WONDERFUL!!"

"This is supposed to be HURH? Melissa Tee: MISSION FAILED"

"Pei Xin looks like she is mesmerised by an awesome sight of a delicious delicacy or if you want, she looks rather brain dead too."

"TSK! We wanted a HURH look not retarded (Shi Hui, left) and act cute (Mary, right) look!!! But at least Shi Hui's is more acceptable than Mary's look."

"Wow! I'm sure Victor had alot of practice."

"Too bad we wanted a HURH look and not a "You are going to pay for taking my frech fry" look or Ying Ting would have won hands down."

Now for 2 more random pictures from SMUN:

"The Lanka Look. I am serious he looks like that 99.9% of the time!"

"Pei Xin and Jerrick. They look like siblings!"

ARGH! Bloody blogger is taking 5 million billion years just to load pictures. So you guys will have to wait till after my exams for more pics from SMUN and other places. Oh yes before I leave the subject of SMUN, there is this girl from NUS high school of science and math who declared that she loved to do math for fun and offered to do my math homework I brought because she wanted to have some fun. Hmm... smart people are scary. But in the end they are still clever.

I doubt I would be blogging next week because I really need to start studying for my MYEs because I haven't start on geography and history yet!!! Geog= 2 lecture books (100 pages + each), History = 2 lecture books (total about 100 + pages). That explains the title for today's post.
*THANK GOD BLOGGER HAS AUTOSAVE, because while I was typing the paragraph above I accidentally closed the browser..*

So, have a great 2 weeks ahead! Please study hard, but not too hard and also good luck to everyone for their exams! May God grant all of you clarity of mind for your exams and strength to persevere in studying. Good bye!

"Huh? Where did Bryan go?"

SMUN was FUN!!

2007-06-10T22:51:00.000+08:00

SMUN was Fun!!!

"The Enitre HGA"

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since I've blogged. This post is going to be a rather long one as MANY MANY things happened at SMUN!

For today's post, we turn our attention to the United Arab Emirates (because I represented that country during SMUN), a former British protectorate. I Sheik Ali ah baba(whatever you spell it) will tell you everything (Ok la not EVERYTHING. Unless you want to know details like me going to the toilet BILLIONS of times because I drank alot of water.) that happened during the historical general assembly, which was set during the time of 1979-1983 (Cold War Period). Our committee was to discuss the issue of Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia.

Day 1: All of us SRJC people met at Clementi MRT station with all our barang barang. Mine was the worst because I had this super huge overkill trolley bag. Had some difficulty getting on and of the stupid bus to NUS. After arriving at NUS, everyone was waiting and sweating like mad because the registration was late. (Eh hello, SURE SWEAT ONE OK, leather shoes, long sleeved shirts and some people were wearing their blazers. NO FAN OR AIR CON PLACE OK!)

After registration, we put our bags in our rooms. The rooms and toilets looked rather decent, but our surroundings was just crap. Then we headed off to LT 8 for the opening ceremony, and like any other opening ceremony, it was boring and crap. I was starving because I didn't eat anything for breakfast. I saw Alfonso drawing a picture of a girl. So I was like, "hmmm...". So... I decided to draw food!! Since I was hungry. The more I drew the more hungry I became, and finally it was time to eat!!!!

"My wonderful drawing of food!"

All of us SRJC people gathered at a small corner and people from NJC surrounded us. It was very intimidating since, NJC is like *WAH* and SRJC is like *Err... cannot make it kind*. But in the end our fears were unfounded as the NJC people were REALLY REALLY nice and friendly. 2 guys from NJC in other committees talked to us while we we were eating.

After lunch, we headed down to Prince George's Park for our committee sessions. It is DAMN beautiful like condominium like that. We went in for our first committee session. Was very boring because everyone was just giving their country's stand on the issue. Then we went for dinner. (Sorry lah but was damn boring.)

After dinner we were supposed to have a orientation programme, but I didn't go because I had a splitting headache after dinner and felt nauseous. After I vomited, so the secretary general (Alvin) and Ming Yee (Registration Officer) rushed me off to NUH (since the nearest clinic is there). We took a shuttle bus to NUH and waited 2hours just to see the doctor... By then I was feeling MUCH better, in fact as though I was cured. And thank God I was feeling fine by the time I saw the doctor because he said he would have given me jabs if I wasn't ok. Everyone thought I suffered from heat stroke and was made famous because of that. But in the end the doctor said: "Oh, you have tension headache." What the ???? TENSION HEADACHE? After coming back from NUH went to buy cup noodles for supper at 7-eleven.
Day 2: Finally Sheik Ali ah baba does something useful and tries to get the ASEAN bloc to work with the Western-Soviet Bloc. (There are 4 blocs in the HGA, Western, Soviet, ASEAN and Non-aligned movement/NAM (a.k.a useless small stupid countries that were not directly involved in the conflict.) At the end of day 2, many people from the NAM and some ASEAN blocs were not happy that Western, Soviet and some ASEAN bloc members were working together. Because it was not historically correct, after all we WERE supposed to be in the Cold War Period. So there was a mini-HGA at block C of Eusoff hall, it lasted for 2hrs plus with me acting as one of the morderators. But was so irritated that I left after spending almost 1.5hrs there. Went back to block B (my room) to complain to some ACJC people staying on the same floor as me about what was going on. Before that mini-HGA session I was working on the resolution paper with the "historically inaccurate" alliance and the group "Fluff" was born.

Day 3: I was really fed up with last night's mini-HGA and just followed the flow. This was the day when the Food Aligned Movement (FAM) was formed. Because we really couldn't care less and didn't know what was going on. And best of all we really LOVED food. It is made up by Pei Xin & Shi Hui (Angola, NJC), Melissa Tee & Ying Ting (West Germany, NJC), Jerrick (Italy, Army) and me!! The last day we added in Sophia a.k. Mary (Venezuela, TJC) and Victor (Kenya, SRJC). The original group of FAM people are really the BEST FOODIES I have met man! Everyone was so enthusiastic about food!! So from then on we had all our meals together. And that meant that I was the only extra SRJC student going around with NJC people. But I didn't really feel left out because they were all so nice. They are not proud or snobbish at all. The people from ACJC, TJC and TPJC were all really nice too! Actually almost everyone in the HGA was friendly and nice. So it didn't really matter. Just that I only talked to people from those schools.

"FAM, 1st row(from left) : Me, Pei Xin, Victor and Jerrick. 2nd row: Sophia, Ying Ting, Mel Tee and Shi Hui."

Day 4: Everyone was bent on passing the resolution which was ready on day 2 but earlier rejected and were pretty much fustrated by rubbish countries like Australia, India, Peru and MOST OF ALL Sri Lanka. (The guy representing Sri Lanka was from NYJC and he is like rejected by quite alot of people who were there from his own school. He always has this "I am going to kill you because you killed my whole family" look. Everyone in the HGA wanted to declare war on Sri Lanka after we passed the resolution.) To pass te resolution it was really retarded, because we had to vote to vote on passing the resolution. Everyone was like WTH? So after we passed the resoultion everyone supporting the resolution was cheering and clapping hands like mad because the rubbish countries failed to stop us from passing the resolution.

Random pictures from SMUN:

"Taking a picture at the NUS book shop which sold really cheap snacks. (Bought quite alot of snacks there before the last committee session) 1st row: Sophia, Cheryl (Poland, NJC), Mel Tee, some guy representing USSR, TPJC (Forgot his name lah), wah this guy even worse don't even know what school or country..."

"Taking retarded photos of Victor"

"Aisya (Qatar, either TJC or TPJC) with Wee Beng"

"Mel Tee with Tiong Hui (He is not from the HGA, met him during Social Night on day 2 he was sitting diagonally opposite me. Really nice guy, we were burning stuff during social night with the candle on the table because we were bored)"

***All photos here are grabbed from Mel Tee***** More photos from Pei Xin will be loaded up when I recieve them from her.

So now I leave SMUN, a member of FAM and Fluff. And alot more enlightened about other JCs and whole bunch of GREAT new friends. And I also met 2 people at SMUN who reminded me of 2 people I knew from the 1st 3 months. 1st: Sonia (China, ACJC), her attitude is SO MUCH like Edwina's. Even the face and voice sounds abit alike. 2nd: Ying Ting (West Germany, NJC), attitude, looks and CCA almost the same as Adele's. So scary lah. I know this post is abit lor soh because while typing it I also feel sian. But nevermind, I cut short from day 3 onwards so don't complain.

Oh yes I haven't exercised for 2 weeks already and never studied for 3 weeks. Plus I haven't touched my homework... The next 2 weeks I need to cheong already!!!

For the benefit of all my new friends, I love the British Empire, so I will refer to myself as the British Empire in some of my posts. And thats why my bottle has "property of the British Empire"

"Good bye everyone! Have a great week ahead!! FOOD ALIGNED MOVEMENT ROCKS!!"

Holidays finally?

2007-06-02T20:48:00.000+08:00

Holidays finally?

YAY NO MORE LESSONS! My school holidays has officially started!! But monday still got CCA... So maybe it'll only truely start on monday. BUT!!! BUT!!! Then again... this June holiday is meant for us to.....

A) Study for Mid-Year Exams
B) Have Tuition to prepare myself for MYE
C) Catch up on our studies so that we can do well for MYE and not flunk promos
D) Do Project Work
E) Finish lots of homework:
     -Chinese Compo (WOW I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO CHINESE COMPOS)
     -4 Mind Maps & 4 Summaries for GP
     -Reading Exercise (Something like GP project)
     -Comprehension
F) CCA training
G) Relax..... ( o.O?)

Wow! Look at the list of things to do...I can do A-F however I don't think I'll have time to do point G... I think point Gis rather redundant... I mean, who needs to relax right? All of us students should or better still, MUST study at ALL TIMES and not waste our lives away by relaxing right?  We should abolish school holidays so we all can be lifeless and deprived robots
with only one thing on our minds, and that is to prepare ourselves to enter the workforce.

*Snaps self out of Ministry of Evil of Ruapehu (MOE)'s propaganda*

Whew... those sick basket cases... almost got me there...

Our officials in Buckingham Palace have recieved news from our spies at the MOE headquarters...

They have placed propaganda speakers in schools that play subliminal messages to wash the minds of our kids. (See Picture above for evidence)

"One of our spies."

WAH!!! I KNEW IT MAN!!! THOSE SICK PIECES OF EXTRAVAGANZAS (Shit)!!!

Ok... enough of being retarded already. This week was super sian because almost everyone is like switched to holiday mode and hardly anyone is enjoying the lectures or tutorials. Was very sleepy throughout the week. The only thing I can remember clearly this week was being screamed at by Feng Xian
after Econs lecture. Well I deserved it but I'm not going to reveal what it is about since it is over.
Some pictures taken during the week:

"Lunch at macdonalds on monday"

"Stupid Feng Xian is a Opportunity Cost !"

"Huh? Who take picture of me?" (I was trying to take a picture of Nathaniel sleeping but he woke up and in the end I got this wonderful picture!)

I managed to go out with Feng Xian, Dorothy Stephanie, Xian Liang, Shawn, Nathaniel and Hao Lun on thursday to have lunch and watch Shrek 3. My first time I ate at Carl's Junior ok!! It is super shiok!! Luckily I didn't order the double
portion one or I would have exploded! My sister joined us before the movie because she felt she was wasting her time with my mum, auntie and little cousin looking
at toys and hearing whiney children all around.

Then yesterday Stephanie and Dorothy came over to my house to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Dead man's chest (VCD borrowed from Nathaniel). Wah the show was very nice la! All the more I want to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3!!

Today I was lethargic and tired almost the whole day although I slept from 12+ to 9.45am! Wth? Helped out for the first time at the Serangoon Children's club (My church thingy). Was quite scared seeing all the screaming and running children all over the place. I was to help Ben who was in charge of P5-6 children and they were the most unruly of all the children there. I was quite shocked to see them
jump on the tables and chairs just to pass hate notes to Stefanie and another volunteer when they should be doing their work. But then again, I cannot blame them because they come from broken homes or poor families and it is the school holidays, who wants to study or do work la? (Actually they don't have an excuse for being so naughty because I also come from a broken home. My parents are divorced but I don't go
jumping around on tables and chairs... But then again I'm definitely MUCH more better off than any of them since my dad still takes super good care of me., as if not divorced like that.) We brought the kids to Nanyang JC to play at the track because it is open to the public on
weekends. My Gosh! Nanyang JC is super nice lah! It looks so new and the toilets are also very nice. Beats Serangoon JC hands down! After it was over and time to leave the RC, our key to close the shutter of the RC was stuck in the lock and couldn't come out! Thank God in the we managed to take it out. Although all these happened, most of the kids were very adorable and
sweet!

Next week is SMUN conference at NUS!!! Die lah.. I have no idea how to debate lah! I think I'm going to throw my face all over the floor next week. And still need to worry about MYE some more! Aiyo!!! Mummy help me!!!!!

Thats all for this week aunties and uncles! Have a wonderful week ahead!

Reinforcements have arrived!!

2007-05-26T23:35:00.000+08:00

Reinforcements have arrived!

"Reinforcements have arrived!" One of my favourite messages to hear while playing computer games like Red Alert 2 and Generals. And of course this time, reinforcements have really arrived!NATO will be back in FULL FORCE on monday. Bigger, stronger and better!! (I'm not trying to sell you people anything...) I'm SO HAPPY that pre-u sem is over, although I'm being selfish here because all my friends who went for pre-u sem really enjoyed it. (Eh! FREE FOOD, 6 MEALS PER DAY and NO HOMEWORK + NO SCOLDING for sleeping in lectures with comfy chairs, you don't want I want ah!) Yeah so HOORAY! Now I don't have to feel so lonely in school anymore! Although I had my darlings Saran, Sharon, Jonathan and Nathaniel to keep me company. Now all the usual Feng Xian, Dortothy, Stephanie , Xian Liang all come back VERY VERY HAPPY!

"NATO is back in business!"

This week was rather boring without all those people at pre-u sem, but was still filled with much retardness, nose flicking and suaning. This week was much more slack than the previous weeks as most people weren't really bothered about lessons after like 3 tests on monday (By the way, they were one after another) So the rest of monday was just really stress relieve and talking. I had a good chance to really mix with the rest of the class, basically all the rest of the other guys. We all hung out together throughout the whole day and I was with Jonathan and Nathaniel most of the time. Before and after school I have the usual Sharon and Saran. But no Nicolette and Jason. =(

"Saran my Dei! Indians are cool ok!"

"What will happen to me if you don't take bus with me home! I'll die of boredom lah!"

I studied so hard last weekend, that I was really turned off by work this whole week. But at least it paid off, History and Geog tests were easy. GP exam was ok, the compre passage was easier than the ones that I had at Barker because they didn't have hidden meanings or really hard words for vocab questions (although they were quite interesting to do), but of course the questions were tougher. Chinese test.... err.... haha... MISSION FAIL!

Last week, 3 new words were commisioned by the Royal British Word Society into my list of insults and random words. They are "Raupehu" (A name of a volcano in New Zealand) and "Mission Fail" (For well.. mission fail stuff la, like if you don't understand this you also mission fail lor) and last but not least, "in situ" (Another Geog, term long definition that will bore you people to death). All time favourites are still "Guyot" and "Ad-Valerom tax" (Say this word loudly and it really sounds like you are scolding someone!) Hmmm... ever wondered why so many of these words are from Geog? I don't know, don't ask me. I just think they sound really cool. (Yeah I know my definition of cool is super off from others. But too bad!)

On Friday went to Kovan with Sharon and Saran to meet Nicolette even though I was on the verge of mission faling in keeping awake. Had a nice looooong chat with all of them and laughed liked a deranged man at the basketball court after telling Saran about retarded videos me and my sis used to make last time. (P.S: If you want to know, I must tell you in person so I can show you all the funny actions and re-enact all the stupid screaming, only then you'll understand why I was laughing my backside off.) Today morning had Math tuition because stupid math mock exam coming on monday.... then rushed off to school for shooting and then to Takashimaya with my mum for dinner and some shopping. I bumped into Matthew, so long never talk to him already... EH EH EH EH EH! Go try the Omu Rice (Japanese Fried Rice) thingy man! It is very nice! Although the bloody cashier auntie MISSION FAIL for service because she was PMSing at every customer, it is not her that counts. IT IS THE FOOD!

Then headed back to Junction 8 to buy a new school bag and then to NTUC for obvious reasons la. Then at NTUC... while I was waiting for my mum to get some stuff... Suddenly I heard shouting and two people who seemed like they escaped from woodbridge hospital were running towrds my direction. Then I realised those two buggers who gave me a fright and caused a few thousand people to stare at us were Stefanie and Jo-Lynn. Then talk here and there... and found out that they came from Takashimaya too.... Wah abit the COINCIDENT AH....

Argh next week still got school!! *Prepares soldiers to destroy the school on Sunday* What blasted holidays lah! Still must study for mid-year exams then after one day rest then continue NORMAL LESSONS. WHAT THE GUYOT? AD-VALEROM TAX LAH!!! THOSE STUPID PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SITU IN RAUPEHU!!! *Plays chinese new year music to censor some bad words*

Thats all for this week! Enjoy your holidays you lucky buggers! Execpt those in my JC and those in poly.

"Adriel and Me at Honours Night"

I didn't know I was so blessed...

2007-05-19T11:16:00.000+08:00

I didn't know I was so blessed...

Hello everyone! This week's post is going to be a short one because I don't really feel like blogging...
Thats because everyone around me is either falling sick or facing lots of problems in their lives.. After listening to so many people.. I realised how lucky I am... And I must really thank God man.. Sounds very emo eh? Another factor would be the fact that I have History + Geography + Chinese tests on monday and GP MYE on thursday.

Next week is going to be really stressful and boring... Thats because NATO attendance in school would be 3/7... With 4 of them in pre-u sem... (If you haven't relaised... NATO is my clique in school)

I am really going to miss those people going for pre-u sem!! One week without them... wah... seow leow la...

Thats all for this week... Sorry to disappoint you guys, with this stupid short and sad post. Next week la ok? You guys have a great weekend and week ahead!

Grumpy Sleepy Week

2007-05-11T23:12:00.000+08:00

Grumpy Sleepy Week

This week has been a really tiring, grumpy, sleepy, pmsey and super hot week! From Monday to Thursday, I was really grumpy and pmsey in class because I was sleeping
at around 12+, 1am (I know got some of you poor people who sleep at 2-4am lah... But I am so used to sleeping at 10.30pm-11.30pm leh...) so yeah lor... Wednesday was especially bad with me starting the day by using the "f" word twice in the first period and basically snapping at everybody in class that crossed my path. This was further compunded by the absence of Feng Xian!!! Oh my goodness!! School is really incomplete without her lah!
So BORING! (At this point you must be thinking, wah Bryan... you like Feng Xian right?
PLEASE LAH! We are just good friends lah... Both of us together? HAHAHAHA! That will be the
time money flows out of mid-oceanic ridges!! Cannot stand her lah sometimes so guyot... always using my word guyot.)

"My indispensible guyot friend in class with Preeti."

So... Sorry 1A10 for being such a idiot guyot this week! Especially NATO! I know I was being very what lah. Thanks anyway for your understanding! These people had to bear with my
stares, shouting, scolding, excessive hand shaking, random "how are you?" questions, asking people to say "Ah Pek" and basically being mad lah. Yeah, and for all my sleep deprived friends
out there, don't be discouraged! Just keep going on! I realised how much a little encouragement
can do!!!
Seriously want to thank all those people who gave me encouragement this week and during PE.
You people don't know how much it mens to me! It really really helps la!

And so... after my much awaited longer sleeping hours... well 1 hour only... on thursday, I woke
up today with so much more energy and basically felt really happy and chirpy!! So those sickening people took advantage of my good mood to shoot me back for the lack of it for the past
4 days. Today was sports day and yeah as usual... MILO TRUCK came!!! =D Had 13 cups!! Drink until scared of milo already. =P Obviously got scolded by Feng Xian, classmates, friends,
and OF COURSE the 1st 3 months people. Ate club sandwich while watching people run... kenna
shoot again by classmates... I was enjoying myself in the SAC (Student Activity Centre, a.k.a aircon fish tank for slacking) and catching up with Edwina, Jason, Nicolette, Sharon, Stefanie and Zi Xian! Then we went to Kovan to eat... MacDonalds... EEE! I HATE
THAT PLACE! I seriously think macdonalds food is DISGUSTING. Food cooked without love or
effort will NEVER taste good. And the food there is so cancerous and unhealthy!!! (WAH! BRYAN IS HEALTH CONCIOUS AH? MUST LOOK OUTSIDE MY WONDOW TO SEE A FLYING PIG MAN! Well, TOO BAD MAN, there is air pork so YES, I am officially going to lose weight. And by the way I have lost 4kg every since I came to jc ok. So proud of myself!) I really want to thank all my health inspectors and classmates for helping me lose
weight!

Wah this weekend will be filled with lots of homework too! But at least I get to meet Inspector Tan for dinner and coffee. Good old relaxation and just talking about random stuff.

To all those who are sick or going to fall sick, please take good care of your health! The weather is damn irritating... Early morning rain so cooling, then rest of the day like put into a furnace. To all those who have family problems, I will pray for you. To those who got problems with work, please work hard and don't give up! You guys (especially if you take econs, history or geog) can ask me and I will try my best to help you guys!

Thats all for this week! Have a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead! Cheers to the weekend! (Don't mind the retard in the background.)

This week has been rather boring... the usual work work and more work. The only thing that is really interesting is that I am now the TREASURER of the shooting club!!!
MUAHAHAHAHAHA! MONEY COME MONEY COME!! Now I don't have to pay for my lunch and breaks anymore! =) And I can snack more at the 2 cafes! MUAHAHA! *If you are from the shooting club, you didn't see ANYTHING on this blog. Because if you did, I would have to send the secret police to silence you...* If you people haven't realised... the shooting club is communist. The commitee elections are rigged!! Almost everyone got the positions I said they would have gotten!

This morning went to the Esplanade Library to do PW research... we were supposed to meet at 10am, so I took a taxi down because I didn't want to be late.. THEN MY TWO BEST GUYOTS came late. AND EVEN BETTER... When I reached there... the library only opens at 11am! WAH LAU EH! Waste my taxi money!!! $9.20 leh!!!!!! I tell you all ah... NEVER EVER GO to that HISTORY ESSAY TEST library! It is so small and lousy.. There are only books on art related stuff and videos and musical scores. So only go there if you feel arty farty. So because of all the nonsense that happened, I decided to have.... FOOD THERAPY. No time to go out walk walk and no money go shop shop. (And I am a guy so I don't need retail therapy.) Went to Marnia square with Amos and Rachel. We ate at the DAMN GOOD ROAST PORK stall my mum and god mother introduced to me. I ordered Suckling Pig rice add roast pork and char siew! $7.50 altogether! BUT IT IS VERY VERY WORTH IT! And of course that made my day lah.

Some random photos of the class taken by our dearest photographer Feng Jie:

"Katherine (thinking to herself): The lesson is THAT boring meh?"

"Shawn taking the time and effort to teach NGEE ANN boy. I really think this picture should be used by the MOE to recruit teachers."

And here are some pictures from shooting...

"Stupid Shuqi put bunny ears on me..."

"Homophobia! Me beating the 2 unsightly couples."

"Secretary Sheryl-Lynn & me at attention"

"Typical scene during training"

"Our Great Leader showing off his skills"

Erm......

"Aiya! Look at the time! I have to go and finish up my work! Hope you enjoyed this post! And have a wonderful week ahead!"

Birthday Boy Week!

THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY!! Yes Friday is my FAVOURITE day!! Why? Because it marks the end of a thesis statementish(from GP) week. When you come to
JC, you will truly appriceate your weekends. As if it were a plate of suckling pig, roasted geese, duck and pork rice! (For me lah. I don't know about you.) In Barker, everyday was like a friday, released at 1.40pm, go home, eat lunch, take nap, study ABIT, watch tv or play computer... Ah... those were the days!

This week is... BIRTHDAY BOY WEEK!!! Muahahaha!

"Photoshopped by Feng Xian!! Thank you!!!"

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes via sms, friendster, tagboard, blogposts and of course personally! I love all the beautiful cards (especially from Feng Jie and Gracie Locker Buddy!) and presents!!

Monday (Actual Birthday, Second celebration):
Throughout the school day I recieved BILLIONS of smses wishing me happy birthday!! So happy =)

After school went to Junction 8 Pasta Mania with Stefanie, Zi Xian, Sharon, Jo-Lynn, Edwina, John, Nicolette, Saran and Yu Hsuan!! Love all of you lah.. ESPECIALLY Stefanie!!! Because she organised the party!! I LOVE YOU CONTAINER SHIP LOADS! (Oh dear... I sound abit like Nicolette...)
All the people that reached before me gave me a BIG surpirse by jumping out from behind the tables and shouting HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So touching lah! *Wipes tear away*. Then that silly Stefanie made me a paper crown which said: "I'm King of the world! Ha!" and I had to wear it throughout the WHOLE dinner. So embarassing lah... Especially when I was ordering my food.
I had CAROBANA (Don't know wheter I spelt it correctly) which is this pasta thingy with THICK THICK creamy sauce with.... *drum roll*.... BACON!!!!! *Choir bursts into singing*.
Then they bought 2 big slices of cake!! Everyone full until cannot finish... so sad for the cake...

Presents collected:
1) Super Duper Personalized Hand Painted Shirt & MARKS & SPENCERS SHORTBREAD!!

*Fireworks go off* "I know I use this picture too often... but its MARKS & SPENCER LEH!"
From bobo Stefanie! Thanks a billion trillion! So sweet lah you. Stay up so late to paint the shirt for me.
2) Super HUGE paper marche drumstick from Sharonie! Aiya you go away lah you. I am still going to eat fired drumsticks even after recieving this BIG BIG one.
3) Freshly baked Cookies & White Chocolate Cheese Tart a.k.a "Cheese Strong Very Smell" from future bread shop auntie Edwina! They taste really good! Aiya.. shouldn't have shared it with my family...
4) Super Auntie Feather Duster from her Viciousness Jo-Lynn! She gave me a feather duster because it suits me... *rolls eyes* might as well get me a hand bag right.... (You people better not try giving me a hand bag after this post. I tell you I will seriously shoot you)
5) Some nice Christian Thingy to hang on the wall (Aiya I don't know the proper name lah, don't be so Project Work Preliminary Idea can?) from John!! Thanks for the thingy!

"Me posing with presents"

"Jealous or not? =P You have to wait for your birthday lor! =D"

Thursday (3rd Celebration): Went to Tampines Ikea! So far lah... Like 300 billion light years away from my
house! The place looks so... Malaysia. Seriously..

Went with Dorothy (Class Chee Ko Mah), Feng Xian (Photographer/irritating guyot), Jonathan (Someone who has gone off the deep end a looooong time ago), Stephanie (Our famous money grubbing queen), Xian Liang (Class Chee Ko Pek). We went there to have....

SWEDISH MEAT BALLS!!! *Fireworks + Choir + Stadium Cheer + hopping around*
The Ikea is super ULU and inaccesible.. After alighting the bus... we had to walk through a desert, jungle, over a mountain and past a construction site. My goodness I tell you it is very very General Paper lah.

"Dorothy the one pointing: EH! I think I see Ikea!"

"Our excursion to Ikea"

"Stephanie: Eh? Why the two uncles following us ah? They Chee Ko Pek ah?"

"Paying for the HEAVENLY meatballs! Don't worry the napkins are free! See 2 big stacks for all
those kiam siap gui to bring home."

"Xian Liang with his constipated face (the poor thing must be waiting to release the prisoners into the toilet bowl), Stephanie who looks exceptionally decent in this picture (Well anyone who
is in between Dorothy or Xian Liang will look decent since they are like so ulitmately SICK in the mind.) and last but not least Dorothy with her signature "HI I AM RETARDED" smile posing with all the food. Of course the food is the main star of the picture. The three of them are just used as props and decorations."

"IKEA FRIED CHICKEN WINGS, I LOVE YOU!! Not as much as Swedish meatballs though.."

"Swedish Meatballs galore! I should have one of these posters on my wall..."

"Jonathan is getting it all wrong... Be in awe of the MEATBALLS... NOT the price..."

"NOW I know why Ikea furniture breaks so easily... Must be these three jokers choosing the materials"

'The things shops do nowadays to attract customers...like Xian Liang...tsk tsk..."

"Meeting in progress.."

"The Ikea staff so nice la! Let us take photos!!"

"HAHAHA! Nothing better to do take so many silly photos"

"I look like a guyot in this picture.."

"Jonathan retarded as usual..."

"This picture looks like some government campaign to promote family life."

"Feng Xian cam whoring as usual..."

"Trolley Heaven!"

Friday (4th Celebration):
Went mad as usual with Feng Xian after realising it is friday almost every lesson. And as usual the sickening plate tectonics theory keeps disturbing me in class... With random bursts of "Bryan sucks~" or "I hate school~". Then when I retaliate, the stupid Stephanie must come and help... I SWEAR....! (Stupid Feng Xian, learn from you one ok. Whole day... I SWEAR! I SWEAR! SWEAR what swear lah, swear your head la!) After reading this she must be saying: "CHEEKEN or I SWEAR!" Whatever lah, enough about that Mid Year Examinationish person.

After school, went to New York New York to have dinner with Rikh and Zachary. I was like a pig like that lah. Eat Bratwurst wrapped in bacon with cheese and fries!! Then had some of Rikh's mudpie & ice cream and Zachary's Fried Chicken Burger and Blueberry Pancakes & Ice Cream! Too bad I don't have the retarded photos we took.

"Farewell and Have a nice week ahead!"

Thats all for this weeks LONG LONG SUPER EGO SELF CENTERED post! I tell you the truth ah, after posting this, I am in SO much trouble with ALL my health inspectors... AT LEAST I went to brisk walk in Bishan Park this morning ok! So proud of myself!

"This BIG BIG room all to myself!! TO STUDY!!! WTH..."

Yes young grasshoppers! I am back!! I had SOOO much fun studying at the hotel... I did not turn on the television or lie on the bed until 9.30pm!! Usually when I get into a hotel room first thing I do is on the tv then lie on the bed! But this time... I went to lay out my books on the study table... FUN OR NOT? Well at least the hotel is very comfy and shiok! Enjoyed the bubble

End to a TIRING week

2007-04-21T08:56:00.000+08:00

End to a TIRING week

Sorry I did not blog yesterday, because I was very very tired.... especially after chinese tuition. This week is like very tiring and smelly. Geography test (Probably FAIL), GPTest (FAIL), Math Test (FAIL only? Please lah.. I already prepared my funeral already...), Econs online test that I did just this morning... (HORRIBLE MARKS I TELL YOU, I did not read the questions carefully and made ALOT of careless mistakes!!!! ARRRRGH!!!!!) And basket... now I am sleeping at 12-1am almost every weekday just to finish work and study... this is getting very irritating... and without sleep... people in the class tend to get a little cranky...

Here are some scenes of the devastation caused by all the test and work in the British Empire...

"Heavy bomber sent by the EVIL Ministry of EVIL (Momo Land)"

"Our brave boys getting on their planes to defend the Great British Empire"

"After a bombing raid by the Math Dept."

"British battleship being sunk at the Battle of Graphing techniques"

Ok lah enough about all these crap already... I am going to stay at Conrad hotel today!!! THANKS A BILLION MUMMY!! Thats because my birthday is next monday!! And you know what is the best?? I am going to the hotel to.... STUDY!! Oh my! Well isn't that fun? *Sneers at the pile of lecture books on the study table*

Oh yes... before I forget... I want to thank ALL the nice people in my class and my friends (Yes... Thanks ALOT Grace, Preeti and Nicolette!) that ALWAYS give me encouragement during PE. You guys make PE more bearable. Seriously. I love SRJC!! All the wonderful friends, nonsense, crappy toilets, canteen auntie, useless LT tables, pang sie extravaganzas# (how this word came to be will be shown in a story below), melting at the lockers because it is so bloody hot there, wonderful teachers (I have to put this because there are nosey teachers such as my mrof *it is backwords if you have half a brain of a hamster* teacher wondering around my blog). All these make SRJC perfect. And I don't think I would be able to survive in ANY other JC let alone MI or poly.

And of course THANKS A BILLION TRILLION to God. Because I got NO highblood pressure and cholesterol!!! Prayer really works!! And of course all the nice people I know in school!
ARGO 1 & Friends (1st 3 months) and NATO!!!

Shooting is super super fun! Because all the people there are also damn fun! I have to get the photos that I took in the range and put it up here soon. AND... Yesterday was extra fun because I was talking to Ms Lin (Teacher in charge of pistols) she said I wasn't the typical rifler.. because I am too extroverted... Then.. We were discussing how to cook Char Kway Teow WITH LARD (Another round of fireworks go off in the distance) and roasted chicken. She taught me how to cook char kway teow and I taught her some roasted chicken recipe! See lah! CAN YOU DO THAT IN YOUR CCA? So cool lah.

#Pang Sie Extravaganza!
Now I will tell you the story about the word Pang Sie Extravaganza! The story is 100% true and can be confirmed by 4 people.
On wednesday before CCA, Dorothy, Stephanie, Xian Liang and I were studying in the library. Suddenly, Stephanie said: "Eh, I got stomach ache! I need to go toilet!" Xian Liang replied in a surprised tone: "Eh! I also need to go and shit!" Then Dorothy and I said: "Haha! We also need to go and pang sie!" So we left the library to pang sie together. Feng Xian followed us too, because she was going for the pre-u sem meeting with the rest of them. While shitting in the toilet... Xian Liang started singing some sha lah lah song and after releasing the prisoners and feeling very high, I followed along. When I came out of the toilet, Feng Xian was there. So I said: "Wah pang sie already feel very shiok!! Like can fly in the sky!" She replied: "Eww don't be sick lah!" I conitnued: "Eh what sick... we are having a pang sie extravaganza here ok! 4 people pang sie together leh!"

This story may sound very lame to you but it is 100% true.

Thats all for today! Enjoy your weekend and have a great week ahead!

I love fridays!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! Wah today ah first time I have been in a miracle service. And I tell you the experience is really uforgettable! Quite alot of people were healed, like this old lady who needed a walking stick and couldn't raise her arms. After like prayer of healing she could walk and lift her hands high up!!!! So WAH LAH! Praise the Lord!! Oh yeah my church is at expo.

After service went for lunch with Stefanie, Micheal (her brother) and Natasha (dunno how to spell la) (Stef's friend). Even before Stef and her friend got their food I eat finish already. =P people too slow la nowadays. Then dropped by the book fair and I bought this North Korean
nuclear threat book. Quite interesting lah, I think...

AND I decided to do another PI on another person because I think Thomas Edison is quite crap. But my PW teacher is SOOOOO BLOODY LAZY he didn't want me to hand in another draft...

Lazy V=F(lamda): "Err... Don't hand in another draft la.. err... I don't want everyone to hand in so many drafts lah... have alot of work like that..."
My reaction: Pure astonishment.... I mean WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU LAH? YOU ARE PAID TO DO THIS SHIT YOU KNOW? Wah seriously lah... my auntie complaining side is just DYING to come out.

I am so pissed with this man la... aiya I'm going to sleep already... tommorow is the start of another tiring and long week.

Have a Blessed and happy week ahead!

Thats all for today!

Good Friday!

2007-04-07T00:38:00.000+08:00

Good Friday!

"Huh? So fast end of the school week ah?"

Thank God it's Friday! SERIOUSLY! An extra day of rest is always appreciated, espcially if you have like tonnes and tonnes of stuff to do.
This week has been short and sweet, other than monday. Which is known as "Hybrid Day", this is
because I was supid enough to go to school in SR Shirt and AC pants. It was a DISASTER I TELL
YOU!
I was like the joke of the year for that day... In the morning I had to answer half a billion "Why you wear like that?" *WITH FREE WEIRD LOOK!* (Seriously la thanks alot you stupid guyots[For our non geog friends, a guyot is a eroded seamount].) Then before Chinese lesson I had to say something hybrid also...

Shawn(In chinese): "I haven't done my chinese hw!"
Me: "Huh? Ni de hua wen ne me hao ni mei you(han yu pin yin) do meh?" *Full English Version (Huh? Your chinese is so good, you never do meh?)
Immediate Response: The whole class laughing, with Shawn and Dorothy laughing (the loudest as usual) their smelly backsides of into the nearest mid-oceanic ridge. Hmmph! You guys can enjoy your smelly guyots there.

A picture of our dear friend Shawn praying for his sanity. After laughing at me.

And of course... how could I forget... NATHANIEL!!! THANKS A BILLION FOR LAUGHING AT ME THE WHOLE DAY AND THE REST OF THE WEEK! YOU BUGGER LA! STOP ALL YOUR "OMG BRYAN YOU ARE SO HOT!" I tell you ah! YOU WILL GET IT FROM ME! Seriously la, you are so V=IR(For the "Pyshically" challenged it means Voltage= Current x Resistance).

HMMMMM... INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE EH NATHANIEL! *Grins*

Oh yes, Project work does not help us develop critical thinking skills, it brings out the retard in you! Right Keane?

Keane: "Benjamin Franklin is DAMN COOL LA! He invented spectacles! I FEEL SO INSPIRED!"
So much for develpoing critical thinking skills....

Nathaniel and Keane "Developing their critical thinking skills" by laughing at Benjamin Franklin.

And if you are wondering why I put "The British Empire is currently crushing the study rebellion" on my msn personal message, that is because I refer to myself as the British Empire (because of some stupid thing last year) and I LOVE THE BRITISH EMPIRE!

HOORAY FOR THE BRITISH EMPIRE!!!

"Would you like to join me for some tea and crumpets?"

I am honoured lah her birthday 2 days away from mine.

Ok lah now is like 1.26am... I better go and sleep because I got to go to NUS later at 9.30 for some briefing on the Singapore Model United Nations thingy then still got pool and movie... haiz.. At least I finished all my homework execpt for history...

Thats all for today!
