there are so many things i wanna say...but just no time to type out...wish i had more time...

the main thing that happened these few days was the IP orientation day camp thing. was really worth my time going there. day 1, everyone was so tight and tense. my class 07V13 has the most vs boys, around 8 i think. so quite comfortable lah. had some games to break the ice, like BLOW wind BLOW and the BANG game. gabriel likes to think sick. robin ur fault lah. lol.

after that there was some inter-class games. we had to do them station by station. there was a side game where we had to snatch party hats off other pple to land them in jail. i didnt help at the stations at all, too busy doing that. we were losing spectacularly in the first part. luckily the girls were good with the stuff and we caught up at the jump rope task. then we won narrowly and grabbed the biggest flag from the centre of the table. yeah baby. V14 were all boasting about their sexy hot tiny red flag. their senior is quite chio sia...very outspoken and has a nice husky voice too. lucky them lor...

after that there was the aeroplane game. supposed to get materials from the 'vendors' by 'pleasing' them. in the end we had to write victoria using our butts, its really cool when you do the letter 'i' using ur butt. just try it. then i lost my wristband and had to go to jail. it was SO FUN there, i actually spent the whole game there. to get out of jail you had to solve their 'nasty' 'irritating' 'mind games'. almost all of the riddles didnt make sense hahaz...but it was really fun trying to get the pattern of the game. also, the other really damn cute senior was sitting just opposite me...she is so damn cute sia.

day 2 was cool too. first we had some games to mix us up. played blow wind blow again. sorry if i didnt capitalize it. tag if you want it CAPS LOCK. anyway, each class was split up even further into groups of roughly 8. then went around doing tasks. cant really remember them now but frankly, my team screwed up. we did quite badly. lucky got the chio senior around or else i cry already lolz...

then in the afternoon we had WATER GAMES WOOOOO!!! lol...affinity for water. so fun. there was captain's ball (we won), dodgeball (we won), dog and bone (we won), some pass the water around in cups while blindfolded (we won), transferring water using clothes (we won) and tug of war (we lost)(sobs) 'player 3's dominating streak has been ended by (name)'.

after that a bunch of seniors started asking me to turn around and showed me to their friends. they said i looked like someone from their class hahaz...then another group of seniors told me i looked like another person that they knew. lol. so cool. then when everyone went to collect textbooks, i stayed in the room with the seniors. next to senior KAWAII. she liked mcr. and panic! at the disco. everyone said that they were bad. hahaz...i forgive her lah she so cute sia...

this is so frustrating. my bleach episode 95 is taking DAMN long to dl. and it has been the same for the past 2 days. the reason why i dun wanna skip this episode is because this episode is one of the most EXCITING episodes. its when byakuya fights kariya jin. omg. so right now waiting for part one to download. zzz...

this afternoon i went to vivo city to watch night at the museum. quite nice. very funny. its a good family comedy. its about this out of work guy called larry who is desperate enough to take work as a night watchman at the local natural history museum. the twist is, everything in the museum comes alive at night. yeah. interesting plot at the end.

vivo was quite nice too. i kinda hated the walking, but the outside patio was very cool. it overlooked the sea between sentosa and singapore. the breeze was very cool. there were also beautifully designed wading pools at the same level.

zzz...tell you more about it l8r lah...

ok. the third day. and fourth. combined into one single post. its going to be the most ELECTRIFIYING, SENSATIONAL, SHOCKING, AND DISTURBING POST IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND!!! no lah just pulling your leg.

the third day was very slack actually. remember? in the morning we had workshops with the other two conductors. if they can be called conductors. dr arwin tan was really cool. he wanted us to sing like, as mr kwei later put it, "black mommas". lol. RACIST! he was the 'pro' in credo. then shortly after that we had the last workshop with dr wong su san. also another cool conductor. extremely animated lady. loved drawing domes with curly things inside. i liked her concept of echoey cathedrals. she had a nice soprano voice which i tried to imitate.

the whole day we did almost absolutely nothing practical compared to the other days. all i remember is that we were all going to each others' rooms playing card games. some people took the time to catch up on their beauty sleep. we also had a memorable practice inside a sleazy bar. got two pictures of quite chio ang moh girls behind the small stage thing. mr kwei did his mind games thing again by telling us that he just walked out on Cat High. technically he is correct as, if he didnt walk out, then how would he be in the sleazy bar talking to us?

after that neng wei led the sops to this really cool platform overlooking a worn out street soccer court. after the prep talk we had to go down by slide. peng hock got stuck in the slide (on purpose, i suspect) and luckily, nobody went to help him. then after the talk i went to bing xing's room to play tai ti. learnt how to play bridge too and got trashed in the first few games.

the concert was nothing special. one of the jc choirs performed the amazing "Water Night". CLASH CHORD!!! a clash has never sounded so nice before. loved it for its whole 2 seconds.

then after the concert there were a bunch of temasek sec girls who went chasing after us cuz of the usual stolen handphone incident. leon was also missing throughout the whole incident. sure enough, found him with yet ANOTHER group of girls. lol. he has some really cool skill with the ladies. i had some fun in jorven's apartment watching tv.

fourth day there was this really amazing incident. i was going down the escalator at jusco or somewhere when heard this really huge bang behind me. before i knew it, a pillow still wrapped in plastic fell between my legs and a SUPERMARKET TROLLEY crashed past me. i still cant believe how the trolley missed me! the lady with the trolley was standing right behind me, with about 6 steps distance. the trolley went past me without even touching me.
thank god.

i had the most fun in the bus, together with gabriel, roger, bing xing, chan wei, sean and malcom. just enjoyed and appreciated the time with them. was really going to miss them when i left, together with many others. once in the bus we tried to do a clash chord that was worthy of "Water Night". lol...that is the moment that i will definitely remember...im getting so sentimental here...

in the last few days, i have been in malacca with vs choir. at first i was rather reluctant to go, but after some prompting from bing xing and the rest, i went along and joined them lah.
i cant really remember the details, so this is what i can recall myself and the choir doing in the last couple of days.

on the first day, we assembled in school at around 7am. my dad helped me save the trouble of taking a bus with my bulky luggage and fetched me to school. reaching school, i promised to sms him every day during the trip. which i did. the choir was hanging around the foyer, around the spiral starcase. waited for so long, then miss lau came and handed over the passports. gave myself quite a shock when i lost mine near the stairs. i called so many pple over to help look for it, then discovered it was in my file. XD oops...then at around 7.30 we left school for the malacca watercity resort. i dont really like jeans. so tight. spent most of my time on the bus reading part two of the 'his dark materials' trilogy, the subtle knife. jonathan (our chairman) also read the series and he told me his parents banned him from reading the books at first as they thought it was 'anti-christ'. the book is quite innocent really, except for the side plot which has something to do with original sin.

we stopped at jaya jusco shopping mall for lunch, which was about a 10-15 minute drive away from our destination. combed the whole place (which only had 3 storeys, bless the poor deprived malaysian shoppers) and finally settled on fried rice at a foodcourt. the malaysian system of ordering food was very different from singapore. you had to get a ticket from the counter, queue up at the cashier (which was located somewhere else) to pay, then return the reprinted ticket to the stall, which would give you your food. then pok thong told me to look at the cashier's nametag. SYUKRI HAHAHAHA...

one and a half hours later we were at the resort for the first time. the rooms werent bad at all. it was exactly almost like a HDB flat, just that 6 people shared one apartment, two people to a room. tv stations were satisfactory, but our rooms didnt have star movies, which were showing all the good movies at that time. we only had cinemax. discovery travel and living was not bad too, i watched project runway at 9pm. sadly, the cute girl was eliminated. anyway, in my apartment there was leon and syukri, me and clarence, and eugene and yi xuan. bad thing was, the teachers' apartment was right next to ours. ... ... ...

the first nights' concert was the christmas one. had the most fun singing together with the whole room. one of the schools also performed O Holy Night. think it was bowen sec. i really love that song. its so peaceful. check out the avril lavigne version. we also performed gaude maria with anderson jc choir.

the next day we were...err...mostly practicing and had a workshop with joshua habermann. he wasnt bad actually. very soft spoken. he kinda looked like my friend's father, who is french. crrredu een deuum. i just cant get that phrase out of my head. LOL. pok thong likes to say it 'creto in teum'. anyway, the night's concert was not bad, except that we really rushed for the songs. especially wawaki. we must learn to control our nerves. seriously. hopefully the sec ones get more stage exposure and learn to control themselves on stage. singing requires a calm body and a balanced mind (the latter i totally lack lol). after the concert i went back to the room, and met gabriel who was going to robin's room. went along and robin answered the door with a really funny pose and a gay voice (sorry eric). after some hysterical laughter we entered the apartment, and robin was suddenly joined by TWO MORE ERICS. hysterical laughter. then jonathan teo opened his mouth to talk in eric's voice. hysterical laugher. then the two erics started blaming sherman for the gay voice. hysterical laughter. then sherman gave up and joined in. hysterical laughter, this time with me collapsing against the floor using my fist to bang the floor. then attempted to play just ONE round of dai ti with the three erics. failed miserably laughing with gabriel. its really amazing how they can keep a straight face while still doing the voice. then the REAL eric came out of the room looking furious LOL. then gabriel and i ran (yes, RAN) out of the apartment in fear of dying of suffocation from severe laughter. met johnnie and terry and frederick outside the apartment. frederick dyed his hair. gold.

too tired to type already...i will leave the third day for tmr lah or sth...
in my absense, i have collated a list of good songs with good videos. please take some time to look through...

its so difficult trying to think about what you did in the whole day.

in the morning i sent an sms telling sherman that i would not be coming for choir as i was helping the boy's brigade in their annual hamper distribution. sherman said ok see you on monday. so i went with my family to the bb headquarters. it was quite messy and bb boys were running around looking tired. the overseer explained that because of a late delivery of cooking oil, the system was very chaotic and we would have to be delayed by around half an hour. so i tried to help them by giving out rice to the different bags. after around half an hour, the problem was finally solved and we loaded the hampers into the boot of our car.

lol im playing heart of sword by t.m. revolution from samurai x...so nostalgic...

the aim of this event was to give hampers to the needy and the poor. yes ignorant people, there ARE poor people in singapore. we delivered around 10 hampers to the people along north bridge road. a friendly bb boy also accompanied us around the place. he is seow ming liang, and he is 14. woooo another SEOW!!! he was very hyper and loved the initial d movie. kept talking about it. tofu driver WOOOOO!!!

we reported back to the headquarters at around 3pm. was sad to see ming liang go, but luckily we exchanged hp numbers and chatted on the phone lah. lol. cool guy.

today i had 1 on 1 sectionals with neng wei. i arrived there 20 minutes early...by accident. there was shane and sherman in the room, and the sec 3 sherman and jonathan were sitting at the back of the room. the sec 1 sherman was being taught by neng wei. i thought his voice was rather good today judging from his warm-ups. neng wei said that his voice was too dark and covered. sherman also noticed that he was breathing at obvious parts of the song. he wanted him to breathe at more unnoticable parts, or in the middle of a note. thats a good point to take note of.

after sherman it was my turn. during warmups my voice wasnt very good. it sounded too weird. neng wei could tell that i had a blocked nose lol. but then after a while, i was able to control my voice better. i think i sounded okay because neng wei asked me to sing credo. cool thing was that he told me i was the first one to sing it. lol ty neng wei. surprisingly, i didnt crack at the low notes. my voice wavered abit and he pointed it out lah. he only had three pointers for me take note of at the end, which were:

breathe deep.
raise eyebrows and cheekbones to prevent voice from becoming dark.
support.

in the afternoon i suddenly felt so tired. i seriously dunno why. had to go for 45 mins of tuition. then played a game of dota and my team was winning when the noob host kicked all of us. geez...fine...i really like using spiritbreaker, but not when there are naga sirens and phantom lancers kicking my refined butt around. he's a PINPOINT hero killer man! not some cheapo image flicker...

then at 6pm left the house for eastpoint. to have dinner and collect my phone at the same time. as i was sitting and waiting for my turn to come, i realized i didnt bring my warranty card! then my number buzzed on the counter and i went and spoke to the man...luckily he didnt mind and just read my receipt...after collecting the phone i started smsing like crazy again lol...

then went for dinner at this small turkish bar. had some kind of dish with really soft pieces of meat and vegetables. then passing popular (the book store, duh), this ang moh guy came out with a mike and introduced russel lee, bestselling author of singapore ghost stories, in the store for a short time signing books for the public. i went in and took a look at him...he was wearing a black mask.
... ... ...lol?
heard him asking a girl what school she was in...encouraged her to study...and wished her a very merry christmas. are horror book authors normally so friendly? whoa.

its three days to the malacca trip.

orange range- *
im typing this while my bro is watching bleach. lol im watching over his shoulder too...

today's practice was kinda horrible. just the last part. mr kwei was funny as usual. i also felt happy and christmas...ssy...singing the christmas songs. so fun. lol poor bases their parts are mostly terrible...
prac ended very late. 2pm. whoa. we were stuck in the room for 6 hours. but it didnt feel that long cuz it was quite fun. except the last part. as i was walking home from the bus stop i also saw mr kwei eating lunch at the coffeeshop near my house.

at home i received a call saying that my phone was ready for collection! but im too tired so i wont collect it today. or maybe hopefully my father will give me a lift there...
btw bleach is a really good show!

today i just learnt that mervyn's com was down. thats why he was never online...

in the morning got a call from some teacher from temasek primary. seemed like my brother's slip had a problem cuz he didnt fill in all 6 option blanks. WHAT WAS THE TEACHER IN CHARGE DOING?! so blur sia...

i finished a whole lot in final fantasy xII. there was this really irritating three floor maze filled with red and blue doors. there were switches to activate between the doors. the problem was, when the red doors were open, the blue doors would shut and vice versa. god knows how much time i spent there sia...then at the end, the boss was so irritating. lucky i saved game before that cuz i got thrashed by him...

at night i went for my grandad's birthday dinner. we fetched our grand-aunt from her luxurious condo on the way there. then we met the rest of them at the restaurant. the food there was quite good, average for a chinese restaurant. my cousin andrew (yes that 2a andrew) put m&ms in my glass of cold water. i acted like i didnt care and drank it all up. quite tasteless really. then in the middle of the dinner my grandad accidentally spilt red wine all over himself. stain cannot come out le...

at home i received a call from my past neighbour, aunty lau. i was pleasantly surprised that she called...she is quite chatty lol. cool.

today was really really boring. i cant call anyone cuz im not the sort who memorizes every single number in my phonebook...so i just stayed at home with the ps2 and com...
in the afternoon we had nothing to do so my brother, my aunt and i had some fun and we saved some money and cut our dog's fur. as in, a haircut. quite well done, if i do say so myself. very close to the $45 cut that we send him for every month. his face looked very cute after the cut. but we only cut around half the body so his legs look very skinny compared to his body. lol.

thats all really...tuition was nothing worth mentioning....my tuition teacher kinda abuses her maid but luckily this most recent maid is quite good and she hardly scolds her...in front of her students that is. ive seen past maids cry before ok...

today i woke up unusually late at 11am. i wonder why i was so tired...probably cuz of the 1 hour bus ride i took yesterday. breakfast was roti john. then went to my bedok view's open house, which is my bro's new school. hopefully. it was quite empty at the time cuz we came rather late. there were some ncc people chanting stuff at the basketball court. looked like fun. then these short sec 1 prefects came up to us and guided us around the school. quite well spoken. an interesting thing about the school was that classes didnt have their own classrooms. instead it was like jc style, with teachers staying in the rooms and students changing classes instead. i really liked it. their library was also more spacious than vs, and there was a cafe run by students right outside the library. my father also commented that the school was very open-concept and he liked it. at the end of the tour, found out that one of the guides was first in standard. whoa.

nothing happened really in the afternoon, i just stayed at home and played dota. hopefully im getting better lah. not going to comment anything else XD

i had to do something about my spoilt phone, so we went to east point service centre to see what they could do. luckily the warranty didnt expire yet. the guy said that i had to pay charges of $5.70 for some damage. im quite fine with that.
