confusion

well, i wanted to post something about spiritual gifts and such...but i'm not qualified to speak about such things since i didn't take time to research into the Bible, second i know nothing of greek, third i really don't need to do such things (says my dad who doesn't know i was planing to blog it)

so back to the daily stuff,

THIS WEEK:
i just did the two most unlikely things....one i volunteered to help wu shi (dance lion) for CNY celebrations in sch....second i volunteered to take part in an english speaking contest called "think on your feet" (my add-on: "but not on your hands")(titus' add-on: "but not on your brain")

well, firstly i don't know NUTS about dancing lions....second...fencing is taking everything out of my legs...what makes me think i got enough guts and legs to walk around the SCHOOL POPULATION...i must be out of my head....(but it's all for the CAS hours right?)

secondly, since when was i witty? i'm ,so far, well versed in the art of lame jokes as well as bad cheezy one-liners....though i try hard.....

hw so far has been manageable...WHO AM I KIDDING?!?!?!? CHEMISTRY QUESTION WAS SUPER TOUGH...LIKE HOW MANY PPLE IN CLASS ACTUALLY SOLVED IT (ok, three i think...)(maky worked 9hours and still couldn't solve it, i have three pages of working and formulas and only after help from Joel was i able to solve it...)(thks Joel, really a life-saver)

only this week did it actually dawn on me that i'm chem rep (WHAT...two weeks and now then i found out, man i'm blur in week 1)....i'm again IT rep...(i wanna retire already, four years and now this?)

i'm back in fencing again....so my muscles that have died now ache...(wait, is that even possible?)
my drawings now have lines on them due to excessive usage of exam pad paper...
i think i can come up with a class icon we can use...if i get the time to draw it...
in case anyone ask, i have 5 girls in class...and i'm not looking for anyone...so i'm still single and enjoying single-hood (as well as the super-sized meals i buy when i have time)

i got my com mac-canised with flyakite OSX

happy bday to michelle 2days from the day i post this post...30/1
happy bday to samson one week from this day i posted....4/1

oh and the best news i heard...TENG SENG I FOUND YOU A FRIEND TO CELEBRATE YOUR BDAY WITH ....YOU AND JOEL ARE BOTH born on APRIL FOOLS DAY...(being born on April fools day really has its benefits)(can i meet someone born on the 29th of Feb..? that is REALLY COOL)

k, i gtg finish english hw...was never that good at lit so i have to work double hard

Jurong At One

i really miss home....especially when i'm at school...but what i really miss, is the air of the place at 1pm...

in case of you who have no idea where i live, i live in Jurong, something like a sub-urban area~just houses and people plus a market...Jurong is in the west side of S'pore, and i stay in the West area of Jurong,any more west and you'll hit Tuas and the Second link to our neighbour Malaysia. so there really isn't much traffic on the road in my area when it isn't peak time.

where i stay, it's really quiet...of course not that there isn't any sound at all...its just that when there is no car going through the road in front of my house, for a second as you look down the road, it feels like you're in a different place, the serenity of the place is calming and it feels like this place belongs to another dimension...

for every car that passes, the silence is broken, but the serenity is enhanced. it leaves a trail of floating leaves as it strolls on. the image of a car going 50km/h down a small two-way avenue is really nice...

leaves from the surrounding trees slowly float down. with a great imagination, you can see sakura petals, orange maple leaves, fresh green leaves. the sky a cool shade of blue, clouds lazily pass through, and even if it rains lightly, it feels like a shower of joy.

people stroll by minding their business, children run back home or to the park, teens chat among themselves...

the entire environment feels like it came out of a story, the story of a boy and his life...

the more i think of it, the more i wanna stay at home....the more i want to be here forever....but i know, there will be a time when i have to move on, but i want to etch this place forever in my heart...

there truely is no place like home....

ps. i just thought of this on the spot, cos since i dropped my previous ccas, i don't have anything to do on friday afternoons but come home. i reached home at around 1.30pm..and it felt so peaceful that i came up with the catch phrase "Jurong at One" and decided to write about it.

two weeks into 2007

well, its been REALLY crazy...i fell sick from Christmas eve all the way to the last day of 2006, so i missed out lots of events...then came sch

well first week at acs i (again) isn't bad, just a lot of games for the whole week, including a 5 hour walk around orchard on saturday (if you have unfortunately been shopping at tangs,suntec and various shopping locations in the city, you would have seen a rather big group of pple sometimes doing ridiculous stuff, that would be us)(nothing against the law of our great nation of course)
the record so far is that everyone has been slipping on mud, falling into mud, been totally drenched, laughed their heads off...etc

my Orientation Group was 16, but the OGL's call it NEMO, which is a MUCH better name. we had so much fun together, we're too tired to comment. we didn't win all the stations, we weren't exactly the most hard-working (as in trying to win stations), but we stuck together (in Kwong's words: TIGHT) and we got BEST GROUP AWARD (two groups got it, the other group was a obvious choice, NEMO was a shocker)..also, Nemo all got a fish and two pictures from our OGL (thanks Kwong and Rong)

Kyensai with Greg Chew got involved during the orientation as the break-dancers who spiced up the mass dance

this week: NON_STOP BRIDGING COURSES (ok, almost non-stop, we had breaks and lunch-break)

today: really lucky, wed we end at 2.40pm, and then we were so guai in our group 3 bridging that the last lecturer (Business & Managment) let us off a little earlier (about at 2.10). DSong said that xinfu had a friendly battle with a guy in HC, so i tagged along. song, edmund, christina, me went to KAP for lunch first, and LO AND BEHOLD...KT was already there...so he tagged along too.

first note: HC is the BIGGEST SCH IN SINGAPORE, if you measure by the size of land it occupies...if i'm correct, its 2 ha bigger than the S'pore Zoo...and its really spacious and plenty of space to move about (i kind of like the buildings, it has that old classy academic look)
we were there so early and xinfu haven't arrived yet, so song, edmund yuan hao started a mini-workshop on breakdancing, while Kt went looking for someone and i just made a few calls to meet up with two old friends, TTS and Michelle.

and after a slightly long time, the HC dance club(i don't know their official name but i can assure you it would sound cooler than just dance club)lend us their dancing ground, they started the battle. audience was everyone who had time to see (inclusive of Kt,his friend, Christina, Pei wen, Michelle and her friends, me, a LOT OF HC pple, and near the end teachers). shortly after (ok, it wasn't really short but you get the picture) the really great(my vocab is kind of small to squeeze a good term here) battle, we took 66 and went home....i can't remember much details of the bus ride cos 1) the bus was really full 2)the four of us who took the bus (song,edmund, christina,me) were at opposite ends of the bus, song and christina at front, edmund me at back 3) i fell asleep.

so OTHERWISE, its been the most glorious week of homework-less-ness, with me using time to 1)blog, 2)draw, 3)study chem, 4)play piano [note: not in correct order of importance, it should be 3421,but it turned out to be 2431]
