Ace Camp is OVER!!

Too bad there were no pictures at all. We weren't allowed to bring in any digital devices except for torchlights... zzz. I learned from the camp that we should truly appreciate life in Singapore as the way it is OR adapt to the jungles of Malaya where we get howled at everyday in military fashion.

My skin is totally sunburnt, despite the fact that I applied sunblock even when there was shade or when it was about to rain. 4 evenings were bombarded with rain. So we couldn't have our outdoor campfire or outdoor cooking sessions. Haiz.. brought the mess tins for nothing.

We arrived by coach on Friday. My first activity was canoeing and we were subjected to carrying the canoes out, being the first group. So fat and heavy. TOTALLY unlike the ones in MacRitchie reservoir. We learned so many basic profiency skills that I already knew ^_^, and canoed arround the mini islands in the lake.

Then later it rained and we were lucky our tents didn't collapse, unlike some of the others. The instructors of the camp are very bossy and domineering. For example, there was this Hornet drill where we had to lie down on the ground wiht our hands above our necks in the case of a Hornet attack which was ludicrous and incredible. The Gafa guy kept shouting Hornet over and over again in umpteen intervals during our activities and breaks that we kept soiling our clothes.
I was lucky. I got into the toilet just before he shouted. ^_^

There were many other activities such as rafting, orienteering, jungle survival, abseiling, prusikking, trekking, etc. Lunch was heavily infested with flies. Mozzie repellent only worked against mozzies. I got attacked by many other unknown flies. I HATE FLIES. They immigrated to Singapore illegally on our back by coach. Very very very irritating...

Our tent was very hot in the afternoon and cold at night. That was not to our advantage.

Nevertheless, this is Ace Camp. I have to appreciate Nature and the way life is without the benefits of modern technology. Noe, back home, I really understand the necessity of being contented with what we have.

The campfire was substituted by lame jokes and songs from our teachers and instructors.

Here's one:

A Pizza Hut, Pizza hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut x2
Macdonalds x 2 , Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut
Teh Tarik, Teh Tarik, Roti Prata Roti Prata, Teh Tarik x2

Lol... I'm so lame.

The frog song was kinda cute too ^_^ but the cheers and toilets sucked big time.
Really lovely aroma emanating from the lavatories.


Nightz.

Today's post is gonna be quite short.

I got back my report book today ... The AA Marks are full of errors. Esp for Art and Chinese.
All in all, I think I'll make it to the top 3 classes with my results and hopefully I get into the English TDP ^_^

Rui Zhi became JJ (Junior Josephian) as expected. Well, Good for him. He deserves it after all the work and effort he puts into his exams and CCA. I wonder how can someone enjoy work without play. Hmm... Perhaps his work is his play. Nvmz, lets talk about something else.

We had Thxgiving today and I received South Zone Junior Colours Award for getting 3rd place with Sean in Canoeing. Some funny certificate. Haiz. A lot of ppl also received this, mostly Sportsmen. After that, we went for some really lame .. I MEAN REALLY REALLY LAME TALK.

The 2 top world champions in Squash, Mr Peter ... & and Aslan Iskandar came to our school to have a Q & A session with us on sports. All the Sportsmen were required to go and engage in that talk. The retired world champion( Peter) and curerntly World rank 12( Aslan ) Squash players were late.

We ended up watching A TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT video on Britney Spears and her concert in Las Vegas for 25 mins before beginning the talk. She is obviously lip singing to her songs in the concert but he energy and appeal is Wow...!! The talk was entertained by some mundane questions that THE TEACHER PREPARED FOR US TO ASK. What a lame talk. I mean, who attends a Q & A session when the questions are provided for you to ask the speaker. 2 WORDS: So Lame. We ended up rambling and in the end the 2 world class players were presented with 2 mementoes our school prepared.

There is only one thing that is commendable about the talk which I will share: Always believe in yourself and never give up to your opponent. Basically, that's the theme and motive of the session.

Well... Off to ACE Camp on Friday. Better start packing. GOODBYE SEC 2... I'll miss U ^_^

Life goes on...

Today was such an entertaining day.

I went out with my Aunt on a field trip. Quite exciting actually, and we explored various aspects of Singapore in the business district. Too bad I forgot to being my camera... Or I could have some nice pictures to brighten up my dull blog.

We met at Buena Vista MRT Station then we drove to The Village to have Oishi Pizza. I just found out today that I dislike Wasabi to a significant extent. We had 2 pizzas today, Unagi Leek Pizza and Wasabi Seafood Pizza. The Unagi was good and sweet but after eating half of the Wasabi Pizza, I felt sick. The green paste like thing makes my nose very red and hot. I brought some Wasabi Pizza home but the ants seemed to appreciate it more than us. So much for Pizza... =.=

Then we went to the MAAD Flea Market. According to her it stands for Market of Articles for Art & Design. Aunt bought me a cute handmade doorhandle. The owner had two cute dogs and her handicaft is simple yet exquisite. Some of them contain explicit content though, but only in the name of Art. The Market is currently held at the Red Dot Design Building which is totally covered in red paint.

Or go over to Maxwell road for to look at some nice works at the market. They are only open on sunday mornings and afternoons.

< The totally red building.

Eeeks!


Then we went down to Club street to Jalan. And more flea markets and junk and etc etc.

Mum got a new MP3 from Dad. It's the same as mine... Lmao. Today is Aunt Poh's b'dae so here's wishing all those who's b'day is in October a Happy Blessed Joyous B'dae. To Jackie and fellow Section members frm TCC too ^_^ We had a nice dinner. I'm a very lame blogger.

IF ANYONE MANAGES TO READ THROUGH TO THIS POINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I WILL TRY TO IMPROVE MY LAME AND BORING POSTS IN FUTURE.

The Results are out. I did quite well.

I shant display my results on the blog as it is personal and not many ppl would list their streaming results online...Lolz. I got an A2 for overall percentage due to higher chinese which pulled down my marks but a good A1 for my L1b5 average.

I would like to thank Mr Charles for helping 203 to top the level in history and for assissting me greatly in achieving very good results in history. Ok... So it's sometimes good to have a very "On" teacher. It's for our own good anyway.

I got selected for some English TDP and the bad news is that I've misplaced by Goh Sin Tub File which is an essential reference to the portfolio that I have to submit on Monday for the TDP english interview. Now I have to reprint everything right from the beginning.

I'm stepping into a new chapter of my Secondary school life. I'm entering Upper Secondary next year. I've opted for full history and elective geography & since I'm dropping literature, my chances of getting into TDP English are halved. Anyway, I'll probably not take Art next year too due to higher chinese =( I guess that if you want to do well for something, you have to work hard and have the passion to excel in it.

Training has resumed. I'm very confused now. I dont know what path to choose. I'm very muddle headed and I cant find the right words for anything and I find my style of writing very infantile and stupid and childish. I dont know how I got selected. I'm a confused boy. SOS.
Give me some time to think.

Training tomorrow, Yes Captain I'm going.

Ok. We get back our results on thursday. I'm quite anxious about how I will adapt to Sec 3 life and which course of humanities should I pursue. I guess I'll just have to wait for the compilation or results. T__T

For now I'm really bored at the aftermath of exams. I feel that after the exams, life is still the same. It's the usual routine that we take after daily. There is no change. It's all so secure. And I'm very sian maple already. I'm gonna train slowly to 125 then 130 by end of december. This post is like so contrary to my previous post. I'm having a mood swing.

I just finished watching the whole series of Princess Hours today. This is the 2nd Korean Drama I'll watched this year. The 4 main characters have a striking resemblance to those of the previous drama My Girl, both produced in 2006. Even the plot is significantly similar. Perhaps it was the identical director for both movies that came up with the plot.

Basically there's a happy couple who gets together in the end, and 2 unfortunate characters that get entangled in the love story. Boy likes girl but girl likes another boy. The other boy likes the same girl too but another girl like him. So only 2 would be contented in the end while the other two suffer from their misfortunate fate. Haiz. the ending is abrupt as usual and in both movies rather unexpected.

I guess I'll have to work harder next year as I pursue upper secondary education. Happy Post exam break ~ Happy Mapling ~ Happy.

Yeah. The exams are over, with the exception of one last paper Higher Chinese Paper 2 which I have tomorrow. Then all that is left is finishing the painting of my Art Piece and Freedom.


Gonna Chiong lv 125 soon on Friday afternoon. Today is the day my shop expires. Sad. No0o0o.
Then I can Zakum everyday and finally get a well deserved hat.


I have resumed to blogging. But I think I shant do it that often now because I want to have more time doing other more inspirational things such as playing and going out.


Goodbye~
