Auspicium Mellioris Aevi-Espoir

absolutely tumultous weekend

Mayor's debate championship's over...now can mug w/o inhibition liao.but that morning i was too garang against the councillors...so much for being the most famous J1 who's more famous than the Council chairman.She had to end up restraining my super dry sarcasm against those who talk while i was speaking and muddling through with my crappy accent.one of the most notorious episodes of all time,warrants a complaint

For all the trouble though,the first MCV classes were suitably traumatized or enlightened...this includes a new Nexus where dai dee,bridge,pool...all those anaethema to the conservative teachers in AJC are legal and where teachers can only interfere if there's a brawl or hacking or even gross crimes for that matter...and the pandora's box which i shall not elaborate and better cheer support...on the pipeline for Yvonne is the Ultras who are the hardcore fans.and Miss S isn't one of them,finching away as i spoke

of course this is the most interesting story:mayor's debate finals was a cockout.everyone looks ok initially,then the exhibition debate starts.no problems.then everything just unfurled.absent adjudicators,missing personnel,so much so i had to end up ushering the Mayor into the auditorium,and knowing nothing of what to do,cocked up as well.lucky I redeemed myself and then it's a reflections session that stretched from 9 to 11 and the whole of OS got jailed inside the school compound!haha!and these fortunate souls ended up goin into the staff room as they waited for the OM

Saturday:balloons from 1-7.volunteer work sadly isn't the mainstay of AJCians,who end up mugging all the time.instead of making it seem as if it were a chore,they should encourage more service learning and slightly less classroom mugging.knowing Pooh bear was at Taka but missing her,I feel a bit sad...haha anything

sometimes you can occupy yourself with work and still feel empty,on the inside...if you end up having a crush intruding/coming into your life,this is what happens

either you don't know what to do,trying to evade him/her but then feel the urge to talk to the opposite sex once he/she starts making advances,and eventually you found out that's he/she's nice after all

or maybe this happens...if this part's true(for most of the time)

J: haiz...i nv realised having a girlfren 4 me...or even simply harbouring a crush 4 a girl...would change my life so much...when i venture into town alone...i'd start feelin quite empty
R: yahz... i noe wad u mean...when u get love... u wake up every morning feeling absolutely wonderful

it's really true.once you start feeling empty spiritually,or maybe even spiritually dead for that matter,your lost soul would cling on to someone you like...if religion's not a concern...the main difference between people who have a doting other half and those who did not are that the former feels comfortable with their stead and they feel more contented,while the fragile heart of the spiritually empty,long cold and dead,feeling numb,starts warming again and starting to feel again,as tears stream down from their faces and hearts being touched,they now face a crossroads that would change their present life,and stuck and unsure of what to do,simply plunges into the deep end...

in fact it meant that they would not be able to do what they really want with their stead looking over them,but being a bad but welcome distraction has its perks because they feel more confident and it would look as if they were changed...having said that...

it's becoming a tear-jerker,so i think i better leave this alone for a while and ponder about that later

there are fortunate people who have their other half book half a cafe for their honeymoon month together,and then got showered with lots of expensive gifts.in AJC this would be viewed as showy by the conservatives,and there would be lots of gossip,particularly if the other half hails from some top jc out there

and then there are unfortunate ones who have to live in the shadow of gossip constantly,where even an innocous trip to the movies with a member of the opposite sex are trumped up by opportunistic gossipers in AJC into a scandal of monolithic proportions.same circumstances apply,only in a even worse off way

unfortunately though,this is a sure-fire way to get embroiled in a massive scandal in AJC

Hey Miss S

It's been good being your friend for 4 months,and this simple and elegant testimonial speaks for itself as a testimonial to your inner and outer beautyThanks for being so nice to me,as you do to your other friends,and for taking time to reply my daily SMSes and listening to whatever crap I've to talk about every day

Friends forever

note that i intentionally wanted to diss miss S and duplicitous bimbos from that particular place.whatever the case i just watched charlie and the choc factory yesterday...whee it's so corny...but i'd prefer napola though...with the dollops of violence evident...muahaha...kinda have an enjoyable time with my gd fren out at PS/Cine...whee it's my first time when i'm out so late...too bad zouk's closing...or i'll be able to stay there until 3am after my A levels next year

mean while it's back to mugging

yesterday:the first time organising a debate competition is quite a humbling experience for me...but that's nothing compared to the big day...

the organisation was...to a small extent,a nightmare.never mind about slacking in the LT5,looking after so much stuff,cleaning out the refreshments is another matter.the sec sch students complain they have not much time to eat,while my kakis all devoured the food like no one else...

oh yeah let's juz shut up and rest

oh my gosh...i juz came back from a very rare exciting day...cuz it's the school of rock!hurhur..all the party begins that very afternoon at 1pm...met a guy from 25/05 and I had no qualms about criticizing that vp who views things purely from an admin point of view.to hell with such an ass who doesn't give a damn about student welfare

and i think i should have come earlier as there are now more than 1000 ppl at the open plaza and Serene(my CHC friend) and her fren had to battle their way through the thick crowd..haha seems like my propaganda have worked..half of 35 not withstanding,there's also some good frens,finn and lp..of course all the eternal loop fans,outnumbered by 3-1 fans 3 to 1 put on a spirited fight and yelled..i don't think i should comment whether they screwed their performance or not,but at least most of the non 3-1 fans voted for us,that's why eternal loop is the audience's choice.at the dying minutes when audiobreakout and 3-1 battles for that coveted prize,i decided to 'cast my vote' to 3-1 and they got rewarded for their showmanship.hahaha!i want their album!

but what pissed me off,ironically isn't the small quantity of people who came,but something after Loop had performed.I was talking to Serene and her friend beside the pretzel and lemonade booth(aunty anne's i think) and i saw Miss S.I mean,I don't believe it,but i think she just ignored my propaganda..but some Cedarians are that dao.I know some whould criticize me for this,but i just saw her whizz past.no wonder Clarence didn't taunt me about sourgraping for nothing.(a disclaimer though:don't confuse Miss S with the ex LJB one.I don't call the ex LJB one Miss S.juz plain old Serene.ask my CHC friends if you don't believe it.and the Rafflesians in AJC would know nothing much about the real Miss S.some would criticize my apparent no taste in incurring a larger opportunity cost).and be forewarned about someone who looks very much like miss S.makes me appreciate Pooh more...ooh

whatever that was after I finished my brandied cherry-rum and raisin sundae,complete with chocolate fudge and raisins,a teetotaler's nightmare that i bought from haagen daaze-why such a name cuz they are the best around.the phenolic taste of the brandied cherry,the strong rum taste in the raisins and the chocolate fudge really made me felt even more bittersweet after i finished my last drip.only Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia comes close

dinner was at Straits Kitchen,Grand Hyatt.definitely brilliant local delights that warrants a walk through the busy Orchard area from Meritus to Hyatt.I just hope my prom nite next year would be at either place..whatever the case,the place was kinda fully booked,so the staff told the 4 of us that we've to finish by 2015.i don't usually extend dinner to more than 1.5h,so that suits me fine given we arrived at 1835bleah i don't usually start a buffet without soup,but seeing that i can't find any,i decided to attack the chinese cze char section..or jian is quite good,mum say fried rice also good..whatever the case had a great time raiding the peranakan food corner,complete with the spices..downside?i filled myself to the brim.so no time 4 laksa or rojak.or pancakes for that matter

in the Hyatt,you get a hell lot of de creme de la creme clientele.believe it or not,Rafflesians(RJC,RI,RGS),the principal of RJC.this person needs no introduction(check back to one of my Oct 2004 posts 4 details).half way through my meal,i checked the table that was sandwiched between the chicken rice corner and the indian open kitchen and there you have it

and he was right behind me while i was trying in vain to get some malt candy on my chopsticks.it's nearing the home stretch of my meal so i guess i did the logical thing to do:strike up a conversation.due to the sensitive nature of some parts of the conversation,especially where the taupok is concerned(memories flood back) i decided not to post the whole dialogue.my memory would have been too small for that encounter

there ends an awesome day...and much more to follow.especially the mayor debate series
