i wanna cycle, bowl, swim, gym, play badminton, try out roller blading (without hurting myself), drive and maybe try out a new sport? oh well.

To find out more about it, listen to our podcast!

i followed my dad and his company to an old folks home somewhere in hougang to celebrate CNY with the folks there last saturday. we might be early, but it’s never too early to bring joy and happiness to them

with this photo below, my perception of senior people have changed. well, just a tiny weenie bit

I LIKE HER HAIR

many a times, we blame people for not making things happen. for me, i need to stop making things happen so people will get off their couches and move

if i may, i’ll use this photo as my motivation

read the highlighted words

are you ready to change yourself?

cause i am

like most reality show, there were 8 contestants vying for the top prize of a million dollars, these contestants had to fight and lug their way to it. over the course of 9 days, contestants had to put up with what was to come. with midnight challenges to determine who goes home, it wasn’t about strength.

As the host explained, it was about guts.

there were a total of 8 different rooms in one building. each spray painted with a number in red. like survivor, each contestant would be given a place to bunk in. but in every room, there is a red circle, that was also spray painted in red. contestants were expected to sleep in these red circles every night.

I was one of them. One of the unsuspecting contestant that wanted that million bucks badly. i was forced into this when my mum said i needed to do something useful with my life. that was when we came across this show. she said that if i won this show, i can do whatever i wanted with my life; and she wouldn’t be there to disturb it.

when they announced that i was bunking in room 3, was I supposed to be happy or sad? nonetheless, i had no choice regardless of my emotions

as i stepped into my room, i was set aback by what was inside. desks and chairs arranged like what you would see in primary schools. there were pencil boxes and incomplete maths homework left on the table. but there wasn’t any children insight.

immediately i knew something was wrong. where were the children? as i continued walking in, i heard whispers all around the room. one of it was, “teacher won’t be happy if we don’t complete our work…” it was the children’s whisper. but, where were they? subconsciously, i knew they weren’t just any whispers.

it was whispers in my head.

midnight. it was time for the midnight challenge. we were all waiting in the middle of the field, that was lit up by one torchlight. cue the host’s explanation of the game.

he said, “by now, you would have realised that you’re not alone…”

i’m not sure about you, but for me, i discriminate people based on experience only. it obviously isn’t fair if i discriminate someone different for no particular reason. it’s totally unfair to the person at the receiving end

the remarks i make is against other races or whatnot is because of what they do; and what i observe from it. it’s quite strange that all my encounters are always on a particular race and as such, cause a stereotype.

like we represent our family name and stuff, we should also be ambassadors of our race.

my two cents worth.

(ps- i did have an encounter today; and he was non-chinese. duh.)

the package

i’ll show you another time what’s in the package. as for now, here’s what we (jerome, richmond and i) got for jonald’s 18th birthday present

a pink dog. there are hidden meanings to it

“a test is not a test until you treat it as one”

in the meantime, keep yourselves intact because i’m gonna update this post real soon!

i’ve always been wanting to keep myself in check, making sure that i’m close to my friends and all. but lately, i’ve found myself struggling to keep up with life. my friends say i’m too busy and i had this “book me 2 weeks in advanced” scheme going on.

it’s unhealthy, it’s bad. i gotta get rid of it.

this year, i just need one big event. i’m really hoping it succeeds, by God’s grace.

it’s one of those camps that i dragged my feet to and came out wishing time flew by slower
i didn’t like the overnight challenge though then again…there was macs…

we had 2 inventions for the presentation

solution X

solution Y

zul and me were supposed to present! i think i look very stressed in the photo. blame it on the lack of sleep! (and maybe old age)

that was for the overnight project that we were supposed to do! on the afternoon of the first day, we were supposed to build a contraption that was going to bring us 200 meters, from point to another.

enjoy these photos!

our contraption in use

there are more photos on facebook, so go ahead and check it out there! and if you were curious, i last updated this post on 01/01/10. so, happy new year everyone!

crocodiles sure are attentive, alert and always ready to blow their whistles just look at jorge :p he has the whistle in his mouth already.

tcp camp rocks!

okay fine, i’ve only driven for 3 hours on the road, but hey! that’s an accomplishment 3 hours on the road and no accidents yet

anyway, here’s my takeaway for today’s lesson: it doesn’t matter what car you buy. what matters is the air-conditioning unit in the car

my TP test is on the 1st of March – the very day the new traffic police rule will be implemented. good or bad? we shall see how. i’m sure the last guy taking the test on the last day of february is probably laughing at me right now

i have to say, i was quite impressed with the students.

i remember we kept saying to each other, “we’ll leave at 930 k?”. and we left at 11. oh and, my heart has never pumped so much blood round my body before. ever.

okay fine, so i fail at the mastercard ‘priceless’ thingy, but i meant what i said the satisfaction of hearing all the campers going “I ENJOYED RED CAMP! THE SLs WERE GREAT…” it makes me feel happy and makes me feel that my time was well spent working on RC6

here are some photos. (oh and, if you’re julia tay, you might wanna look away!) i downloaded these photos (that i was tagged) off facebook…so. yeah.

all (well, most of us) of the vikings SLs! we were wearing different coloured shirts (and some were spies of apaches) because we were drenched by the thunderstorm that day

some vikings SLs and campers

shiying!

3 of the many wonderful campers that made my 3 days really really enjoyable

heather’s 17th birthday

one of my sisters finally turned 17 recently! though i doubt we took any photos, but here’s wishing her a happy (belated) birthday!!

happy birthday jie!

bmgt elearning assignment
our bmgt elearning assignment required us to travel to a supermarket and gather some information about the place. my team and i (consisting of weiting, raymond and hong loon), went to the courts warehouse at tampines

before moving off, we had lunch at pizza hut! when we got the bill, weiting was like, “i got a packet full of gold coins, maybe we can give them then they can give them as loose change”

and so, that’s why you see 2 or 3 stacks of gold coins, with weiting laughing away. boy was it embarrassing when the waitress was counting the coins in front of our very eyes

over there…

one of the hot deals on sale (NOT ME, THE TV!!)

wizkidz (it’s okay if you don’t get it)

you have reached the end of this blog post.
cheerious!

to add on to my woes, today was the longest day i’ve ever had. i had lessons from 9am to 3pm, which followed by a driving lesson at 425pm. the time in between? well, it was just enough time to get me from school to ubi driving centre

my driving instructor was bitching about how fast i release the clutch and the way i brake. but hey! it’s part and parcel of learning yeah i’m sure every new student will experience this…

red camp is coming up tomorrow!

i can still remember the day when i completed the last paper of O levels. the moment it ended, i stood up and started celebrating. “the war was over”

well, those were the days i’m feeling lethargic, but the feeling will pass heh. i love poly and the people i’m mixing around with. they’re awesome in every way.
