yeah from my prison cell here's a happy Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa to the following 'felons'...sorry if it was put till Hari Puasa Night to greet you all...

Big Boss,Boss,Finn,Rahul,my Indian and Malay friends in AJC and other kakis in IJC and anywhere else I've met...sorry I forgot most of you guys....

whatever...Star Movies are so crazy for Stallone nowadays,Rocky 1,2,3(missing 4 & 5 because of PW tomorrow) and Rambo making my otherwise sian diao mornings bearable.too bad missed Rocky 1 and toy soldiers...i went back to sleep...ooh so lazy

but i dun think the vcd stores stock such stocks,so I'm looking forward to the next RealStarz Outing...I miss the 1s16 crew...boohoo!

gets dragged back to cell,so i shall stop writing

PW is getting more and more draggy nowadays.so much so that some of my frens are ponning this fri.I can't cause my bro kope my keys.I&R though,poses more probs...n don't tell the school technician.you can play DOTA and arcade games in the free access room.I'll post the command prompt to play free DOTA in school w/o getting caught...stay peeled to this screen for details

looking forward to the service learning project...whee the conservation wing rocks

This is not a slamming session.should it warrant any supervision from a school authority that operates like the East German Stasi I would say I got it from a site which I do not know the address.The gulags seem better than this living torture

I cried during the farewell ceremony and I could say I don't exactly know what I was crying for.happy that he's leaving or sad that he's leaving.Academically I do not deny that he has made the school improve,but the singlemindedness in basing academic excellence at the expense of CCAs have left a trail of uneven growth in CCAs.I do not deny that I love the choir alot,because they do well,and volleyball too...but a lot of the other CCAs become shortchanged as a result.

the proliferation of nerds,for example has left AJC in need of a revolutionary image makeover that does not promise to improve the situation even within a year.oh yeah this year aren't really full of nerds,but the image has stuck in the minds of many of our juniors and the stereotype isn't going to be erased anytime soon.the extent of which is that those who don't act like a nerd are either scraping thru,or retained.the exams are important in gauging the ability of students.no denial about that and I have to live with it.BUT the over emphasis on paper qualifications have lent a new dimension to AJC's oppression where personal expression is concerned.

in fact the most colourful people in AJC are the ones most likely to be retained.and worse still AJC looks more and more like Singapore's society nowadays,or maybe an oppressive dictatorship.in other places,i heard repeat students are more hip or at least acknowledged,in AJC it looks as if retainees are slapped with a criminal record.ugh

oh yeah it looks as if the clash of the old order and the new turks have ended in a checkmate that looks like a stalemate.the reason why AJC people looked so stuck up unlike the more relaxed people of the top 5 and AC and the more contented people of SA and Ny is because of the constant struggle between the old and the new.the old guard's influence,built on years of experience and in my opinion,stubbornness and the new guard's patient but ultimately futile struggle to make AJC vibrant,have turned this place into a hot bed for the most hardened of conservatives and the most extreme of revolutionaries.this is the only place where the council's hands are so tied some people resort to taking matters into their own hands,with disastrous consequences

in effect the retirement of the principal will burst the can of worms due to the pressure,or leak and then it is a new road from here.I doubt the ex Cedar principal will try to upset the old order,but if the greater emphasis on the needs of students is considered,it is likely that the pandora's box will be opened,inevitably leading to problems which in the old principal's view will be very difficult to resist.hence judgement is reserved for now

I empty my pride

CLAO and I'm set for A1

CLAO is getting more and more wacky nowadays...with all kinds of odd questions.we don't care though,because I confirm get 5X over 60 for B to E,then let the F and G take care of themselves.grrrrrrrrrrrr...the format of CL exams are getting so outdated nowadays..and MOE just seems to contradict themselves most of the time.the classic case is CLAO...enough said...let's hope there's some grateful people who did n't forget Alice Teo like most AJC ingrates do after meeting AT

whatever the farewell party of the CLAO gang is at J8 this afternoon,and we all bombed out our wallets at the Cartel...everybody spends $15 and above...including tax...and teow it's an unintended reunion with BN kia...too bad Val was off liaoz.Nearly did bomb out too at the movies...esp when we guys(JJ,Malcolm,Andrew the guy hated by AT,one from 13,some from 14 and 8 in all) went to watch flightplan.plan for election and april snow and zorro all scuppered...argh who ask us don't go city!?haha...yeah flightplan is the most CNB movie ever(Catch No Ball)...run around in an A380 size plane then anticlimax ending...teowwwwwwwwww

In the end a new clique is born....the 'si beh teowwwwwwww' gang,supposedly from all my teows during Alice Teo's lessons after promos

bleahx this public hols is gettin sian by de min...and so my dear old cousin is now on leave...ok I miss him alot...so awaiting the ROD/ORD from OCS...oooh I wanna go OCS!!

whoa I spent half a day improving my new layout...oh yeah I look like a prisoner blogging from a jail called life,more fortunate than most prisoners because they can't even blog at all,let alone keep a diary...too bad the interior of a jail can't be replicated in my layout,so I've to make do with prisoners...this is a guide on how to surf my blog

Prisoner Profile:duh! that's my profile
Convicted Felons:put it plainly,it's the links to friends.unlike most jails there's no full house for this one
Criminal Gangs:another name for Favourite sites
Prison TV and Prison Radio:a selection of my favourite MTVs and MP3s.may be updated least often
Prisoner Phone Calls:aka tagboard.All tags will be screened as you would a prison facility

It's time to be incarcerated in the so called 'detention barracks'

argh I wished I can celebrate halloween with a pumpkin,but now caught in a hard place between AJCian's non celebration of halloween because they have to 'slog' for their CLAO that freaks more souls out than ghosts...contrary to popular belief I don't play DOTA like an expert,so I'm trapped at home vegetating and stoning like a grand arse,unsure of what to do.

and contrary to popular belief that I'm a PZB champ,the (un)lucky lady who happens to catch my eye often disappears in a fleeting second,and the sight of an (un)lucky man flickers away eventually whether he was meant for the long term or just for the thrill of seeking out a guy to play with.

maybe they weren't meant for each other.maybe they were explicitly lovebird-grade material.maybe it offered the short term thrill but wilts like a lone flower.maybe the seed just lay dormant in the ground until that one fine day when it grew and blossomed...But for now it would have been scarcely imaginable to picture that scene of me going downtown holding someone else's hand and looking happy,but maybe I wasn't destined for that at all.If not I didn't get what I wanted...but whatever the feeling is far better than shape...

since this is getting so contradictory...let's stop for a while and ponder again what should I do

checked from frenster...how to win a girl's heart..for guys(note:the author asserts that some are not true)

1. Hugs from behind.(ok a bad idea unless she knows you very well)
2. Grab her hand when y'all walk next toeach other(ok..may not work)
3. When standing, wrap your arms around her(isn't that similar to the 1st one?)
4. Cuddle with her(ok...this needs 2 way traffic)
5. DONT FORCE HER TO DO ANYTHING(this is the most important)
6. Write little notes(ok this works for noobies like me)
7. Compliment her Honestly.(stuff,whatever)
8. When you hug her, hold her in your arms aslong as possible.(advanced course)
9. be super sweet to her(basic knowledge)
10. Pick her over ur friends.. no matter what. even if your friends call u pussy whipped.(really ah...)
11. comfort her when she cries.(very important too)
12. love her with all your heart.(makes the world go round)
13. Pick her up and flirt with her.(whee)
14. Be a gentleman (hold the door for her).(yeah that's a must)

should there be any guinea pigs they would have freaked out at the sight of the devil

oh yeah speaking about the last dinner with our fave seng,thanks for the 4 months with us even if we rebelled multiple times and came close to threatening a mutiny,we'll stand by you even if you dun go up with us...

AJ Open House(Castle) with a large canal as moat

ok it's one of the most awful open houses seen...if seeing VJ's dainty goodie bags werem't quite enough,it seems like AJC are mostly destined to take the trash.lucky my facilitator post was a zuo bo type that just need to plant myself at hall.then go play chess.lame shit i lost to someone with my knight trapped but there's no such probs with international chess

for his last speech it's all the nice stuff in there...though i think there might be a science talent elective programme next time and then the world of AJC will never be the same again...RJ,VJ and NJ has lang electives(nihon-go,francais,deutsch),AC are going to have a drama elective,TJ,NY and JJ has chinese electives...if AJ has a hist elective,they would just go,bonkers

whatever lunch with the few OS ppl who came(shuwen,qixiang,bobo,ms chan) squeezed out some gem of a theory about what really happened to AJC...but details of it are mostly kept secret...

OMG and no more slack periods for PW

Oh yeah the corny teachers day celebrations not withstanding,it's back to CCHSM at long last after 9 long months...omg i miss the longest can connection in the world!and my frens too...maybe except Valerie.too bad Jeslyn and many TJC ppl weren't there...oops

whatever that evening was dinner with the OS...haha 1st time meeting up after the jailed day...wheeee...the Indian food's quite good by the way...

oh yeah i'm gettin brain dead by that mad bad episode last week...haha signing off

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
