so here’s the post summary

- presentation at SA

hamsters day out
the hamsters (recently known as thonners – or are we still called thonners?) went out on an outing last thursday.

someone was LATE!
some people didn’t have pants to wear
and all of us managed to fool valerie about Adam :D

because someone was so late, we had a really late lunch (at 4pm) at sakae sushi. after lunch, we went to gamehaven to play guitar hero world tour! woo.

here are some pictures of our escapade

one of those candid shots that i love taking. i shouted “VAL!” with the camera in my hand. when she turned around, i took the shot :D

dang, a classic moment for her. hehehe.

an unglam moment for me ): “muthu! YOOOOOOOOOOOOu (take the microphone)

i miss the amount of fun we had. i’m looking forward to the next outing. gotta do more stuff before school starts!

xtc day out
after xtc dota team’s matches at springflash, they decided to roam around the area (since most of them were free)

in the evening time, they went to a cafe called Alps Cafe. and dang, i fell in love with the cafe the moment i stepped foot into it.

i’ve gotta bring some of you guys there one day :D

for now, here are 2 pictures of what happened over there

similar to jenga, we went like 2 sticks higher before it collapsed. lucky for the guy who caused the collapse, there weren’t any forfeits

tuna (jason)’s a happy martell drinker

presentation at SA
today was the day that i finally presented to the batch of secondary5s about the upcoming O levels.

although i mr liang said that i presented well today, i knew that i could have done much better. i guess i didn’t inject much of my skills into the presentation today.

nonetheless, jimmy koh said i was calm and confident while i was speaking. so maybe that’s good enough :D

here are some photos of the happening!

benlan’s laptop (with my blog loaded on his web browser! :D )

friends who came down to support me (not in picture: mark)

and here are some different shots of me presenting

photo532
photo533
(and nat, i don’t look like a professional)

for those interested, i’ve put my powerpoint up for download (note: slide transitions differ from original master slides)

i’m looking forward to my next presentation, outing and MANY THINGS TO COME.

SO MUCH THINGS TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME.
until next time!

anti-work weekend

Oh God, i feel old.

here’s the post summary =]
- inter-school primary maths&sci competition
- anti-work weekend
- sneaky peeky

inter-school primary maths&sci competition
today, i’ve reached another milestone in my quest in growing old.
today, i did something that i’ve always wanted to do
today, i invigilated a 50-minute MCQ examination.

not only did that make me feel old (after all, the people i was invigilating were PRIMARY SCHOOL children), i felt like an old man.

it’s like. if i were to become a teacher (i love to teach, heh), i would be doing the same thing. so yeah, that’s the theory to my whining :D

photo5271
the school children

oh and, i managed to catch up with a teacher from Fengshan Primary. a teacher whom i met long ago (when i was a primary school kid). he still looks the same and yes, we both agreed that he looked like Klose (the german footballer).

too bad i didn’t take a photo with him. haha. darn it.

anti-work weekend
for the whole of this week, i’ve been sleeping at 3am, striving to improve the different components of the new xtreme chaotix home.

and yes, i’m feeling the effects of fatigue.

so michael, if you’re reading this: I’M NOT WORKING OVER THE WEEKEND (:

just imagine. if i were to work non-stop for xtc, the ordeal will end (latest) by 15 may. by then, sgwargames projects would have already started. and that’ll drag till…december..

SO YES. I’M ON STRIKE MICHAEL!

sneaky peeky
on thursday, the ‘thonners’ of bintan room (what’s our room number?) went out for a group outing. i posed as Adam, and valerie believed me.

i’ll update more about it when i get the pictures from her.

until then!

preparing for my keynote presentation.

i’m presenting in St Andrews (Auditorium) next monday at 110pm to the whole sec5 cohort. if you’re free, do come down and support me. drop me a call or sms if you’re interested to come :D

* – other than the messy table photo, i think the rest of the photos were taken for the fun of it.

I look forward to my day of rest (which is…Sunday?)

if today was your last day – nickelback

Categories: COMING SOON!!, quote of the day, special tags, text only posts):.

This got me thinking.

Here’s the chorus of If today was your last day by Nickelback.

Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce of memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day

hmm…

EDIT: here’s a sneaky to tomorrow’s post.

concept art!
paintball =]
