NS

The time is 12.06am. Within the next 15 to 18 hours, what is left on my head will all be gone. By 10.30, i will have to report to pasir ris bus interchange and take a shuttle bus to a ferry terminal and then take the ferry to Pulau Tekong. After the swearing in ceremony, a video, eating stuff, my parents will be gone. I'll be stranded all alone in Tekong. At least, at first. But i gotta look at the bright side. I'll put down my 8kg bag soon. Sit down on my 3-months-bed-to-be and unpack my stuff. Then i'll start looking for friends. People say they find their life long BUDDY (not partner) in NS. I dont mind, but thinking of this makes me feel sad about my current buddies. Oh well, put everything in positive light.



Many has wished me luck. My buddies, Edwin, Leonard, Danny, galfriends Chingyee, Yinning, Huiqi, Betsy, Keng Yee, Zuli, Atikah, my juniors Hong You, Jasper, Wei Yeat, Desmond, many more like Lawrence, Bang Hui, Wei Bin, Irvin, Eric, Han Kee, Kai Lin, Jason, Ben Huang, my fellow volunteers like Ivy, Ken, Jie Hua and many more lah.



Somehow i have a bad feeling. Or rather a sad feeling. Like i'm going somewhere far far away. I told Ching Yee this, she said "ya u really are going somewhere far away mah" but i also felt as if i'm not going to return. While posting the message for my classmates yesterday, i really felt quite sad. Its like, when i go for camps during school times, after camp, i get to go back to my school. There's a second home for me to return to, a second home filled with my friends. There's a life to look forward to after the end of my leaving. But this time, there isnt any. When i book out, there isnt anything that i'm sure i can look forward to. Girls are busy with their university or work. Guys have their own programs, girlfriends, or NS buddies to hang out with. Sure i might have too, but there's an uncertainty. And this lack of reassurance make me feel sad.




SPOILERS
I just completed this game again. Its called Kingdom Hearts: Chains of Memories. Its a gameboy advance game. I kind of like the ending. Sora the main character, wants his messed up memories restored. To do so, he will forget his newfound friend Namine. So Sora made a promise, a promise to not forget her, a promise to be friends again. Just before Sora had his memories restored, Namine said "I'll be gone, and you will only forget me. But i have our promise, so that i can come back to you. Someday it'll become our light, the light that brings us together." Then Sora said "right, forgotten but not lost." This scene was shown with the current music in my blog "Always On My Mind".


Maybe a promise would be more reassuring. Lols.



Pulau Tekong, here i come. I'll be going with a bright light. 2 weeks later, my friends. Till then.

Message: To TJCians [15/06]

This is so secondary school and so childish. But you know, last time (and maybe now still like that) people like to post a farewell message to their classmates, like, ALL their classmates. Something like "hey baby you know we've been good friends and i'll always miss you baby even after we've graduated" that kind of lame stuff. Laughable, really. Yet im going to post something like this here. How funny. However i did hestitated. I wanted to post this because JC had been a good time, i quite enjoyed it, i knew many great people. At the same time, there are many whom were supposed to be close to me but end up not being, such as classmates. It would be weird to post this "farewell msg" thingie about so many classmates except those few. I'm enlisting really soon. So it would nice to leave a message for my beloved friends, ya?



My Main Class

15/06
- a really weird class cause TJC has more girls than guys but our class is the other way round. having quieter-than-usual-girls, 15/06 has actions well dominated by the guys. crazy guys, quiet guys, emo guys, funny guys, sporty guys, 15/06 is filled with variety (of guys).

Edwin- nothing much to say, cause the story aint ending here

Li Teng- nothing much to say, except that we both suffered the teasing cause we talk a lot, and that resulted in less talking. nonetheless we're still great friends! gossip all the way! (actually its more like i listen to your complaints lol)

Gerald- you help me to pass standing broad jump, i help you to pass 2.4km run. haha. through thick and thin man. quiet and deep, moral and guai. all the way! must be less conservative then can survive in this harsh harsh society wor. the class chalet time was the best time knowing you and you should work on ur chinese. and tell me when u get a girlfriend. haha.

Leonard- this is the guy who dislike sissy but always listen patiently to my woes (like, a lot of them) when i accompany him home. though senseless when it comes to girls (oops!) but he's a really great buddy. knows not to PS people, and enjoy socialising. extremely hardworkin and intelligent also. really look forward to the day that u have a steady girlfriend. or already have liao?

Terence- Mr Kwan saw the both of us on the corridor one day and he commented "oh your class people mix with each other according to your height?" lols. mixing with you was fun. haha. our results werent very outstanding (compared to our classmates) for quite some time so we were always getting suaned by tutors together. haha. but he can study well for sure. why u PS me? we're supposed to get lousy marks all the way! haha. dont grow any taller hor.

Benjamin- helpful all the way. but at the same time damn busy also. who can be more hardworking than him? (except ming jie) super intelligent, i feel freaked out when i look at his report card. nice dude but you got to relax abit more. life aint a rushing train all the time. great knowing you. couldnt have survive jc as well if its not for you

Alwin- (when taking photo) alwin:" 1, 2, 3, SEX!" somehow or another, i was surprised when i heard this when we took the first class photo when i entered 15/06. and somehow or another, i felt that it was alwin who introduced it. one of the crazy guys, high all the time. really know how to motivate people. you are a great CG rep no doubt, hands down. also really hardworking (everyone in my class is hardworking except me it seems)

Bang Hui - funny guy number 1. lame dude but never fails to make me laugh. "eee, gay shit" is his tagline. he sometimes call himself gay but calls other people gay shit more often. very intelligent also. proclaimed by many to be the cutest guy in 15/06 and he willingly took the title. lols. stop acting so gay lah. later girls all siam you.

15/06 is usually 3rd or 4th class in the level. The pressure my classmates give me is unimaginable. But they also provide me with sufficient fun and laughter, as well as motivation to do well so as not to pull the class down. Everyone were great. Jin Chaw, Gerald, Alwin and Jye Yng as PW group mates. I always sit beside Sue Chee for Chemistry Practical. Yan Qi, Terence, Gerald, Li Teng, Wan Ting are the usual remedial gang with people like Rong Jun, Ming Jie and Jia Xian liking to chap in though they very clever liao. Glendon, Gerald, Ren Liang, Bang Hui with the mass mobile phone games craze. Alwin as fellow Wushu mates. Leonard and Li Teng for all the bus rides home. Leonard for all the study club time. There's too much to remember. Just hope that my friends wont die out on me...

(geez im abit sad while typing this and looking at all the photos, knowing full well that enlistment is tomorrow...)

Event: Sec1 Orientation 2008

I'll keep this short cause its about my own life. I went back to Xinmin's Sec1 Orientation to take a look. I shant comment on the SLB cause that would demoralise them too much. Anyways i went back and i realised that i'm still somewhat in love with DB! Actually its more like i'm in love with my successors, that is, the Heads of DB.

I am the second Head of DB (disciplinary board). Desmond is the third, Khee Ern is the fourth, and Wei Yeat is the fifth. Im glad that my successors are still as enthusiastic as ever. It heartens me to hear them say "yeah sure ok" when i said "later must take pic hor". Lols. Desmond and i are the most enthusiastic ones, at least about the photo taking. But when i got sabotaged to go on stage to dance hokey pokey, my successors all left me hanging! Still i managed to drag all of them up. So during the hokey pokey dance, the 4 of us were right in front on the stage. So freaking malu. Man, that dance still takes a lot out of me even now. I get really exhausted dancing it. Anyways alright, admit it, who sabotaged me? The juniors DONT KNOW MY NAME ok? Some seniors must have sabotaged me. Even if the juniors know me, they dont know that im famous for my chicken dance and hokey pokey. I may spare your life if you admit to me soon.

Anyways right after the campfire was closed, desmond and me immediately went "take where take where? what pose we doing? decide now leh!". So childish, tsk tsk. We ended up taking a few stupid photos. After that Khee Ern decided to organise a supper as "DB Outing" but Ben Huang's car had limited places. So it ended up with a few of us. There were screw ups cause there wasnt any space for us at the first place we went for supper. Khee Ern nearly got raped cause of that. Laughs.

Below are some retarded photos. More to come after i get them from my juniors.

We are superman! Plus 2 goons in front.

The Big 4 Heads of DB

The wall in front of the general office has this gorgegous photo of Desmond and me. Look closely, the 2 cute chaps printed on the wall pointed by me on the left and Desmond on the right are actually the both of us back when i was sec3 and he was sec2. Plus 2 goons in the centre.

Year 2008

Belated merry christmas and happy new year to all! This is a little late but im supposed to be courteous i think. I always have the issue of writing 2006 on my foolscape, homework, forms, books etc when its 2007. Im sure you too right? So it will take time to get used to writing 2008 now too. But i wont have this problem anymore. Cause im a graduate! Yup thats right, as of 1st Jan i have fully graduated from Temasek Junior College, and i am a student no longer. It may not be significant to some, but i guess it is to me. The title of being a TJCian is one thing. but another issue which everyone broods about is none other than... THE CONCESSION PASS! From now on, all my peers and myself will have to pay adult fare. Young and vibrant at only 18 years old, poor me is being thrusted into the cruel sides of the society, being forced to pay adult fare for taking transportation. There is no more hope and life in this world anymore. Sad.

I would love to do a summary of my JC life as well as the woes and joys of 2007. But my boring life will scare readers away. My Christmas and New Year were not well celebrated either (esp. New Year). Anyways, the topic that everyone will be talking about is a forbidden one during other times of the year. That should be pretty obvious, being New Year Resolutions. Guess what, i checked my blog and i realised i didnt have a resolution for 2007. I wanted to make one but i forgot in the end. Anyways this word is forbidden at other times of the year cause most likely it wasnt fulfilled and people get embarrassed talking about it.

I just did the New Year Resolution thingy in Facebook. 10 options given and i was to rank what i want to make my resolution the most. My choices were (in order of most prioritised first), eat right, find a new relationship, learn something new, save money, help others, pay off debts, spend more time with family, drink less, stop smoking and lose weight. The reason of my choices is as follow. I have a bad eating habit, but i guess NS will correct that. I really think its about time i get a partner. Where the queue? Then i have a lot of things i want to learn, like wushu, advance guitar, piano, harmonica, and roller blading. But i guess i wont get to learn them while im imprisoned in NS. I need to start saving money for my university fees so that i wont need to pay back any debts(im giving tuition now, anyone else wants?). I dont really like to spend time with my family and im already drinking very little. As for the last 2, i think i'd rather pick up smoking than to lose weight.

I dont think i want to make a clear resolution. Lest i think back and laugh at my ignorance and naivity (is there such a word?). Maybe you shouldnt too. Its for your own good.

Jokes aside, my new year resolution is to survive through my first NS year without much troubles and make friends successfully.

cool huh? i bought this lighter at Bugis Street for 6 bucks. Dont you know i smoke? haha

(its for NS lah...)
