In Retrospect What Should Have Been

If my prom had been done in another way here's how i wished it had happened...

Wear: Bowtie and gold dye, although in tight circumstances black tie and silver colour hair wax works. Best if you hide poor hairstyles under a hat

Coming: No delays for the limousine. Ideally a few frens meet at a house and go off in a Merc in style, not a fren getting his fren from his house and then have another stop-over location. Best if the driver gives his name card and asks which radio station you want

Hotel: The magnificent and new world Grand Copthorne Waterfront, as opposed to the 90s chic of Meritus

Security: After the crashing fiasco, they decided to play crazy by chopping and staining the hands of each and everyone who came. As it turned out, Jeev and Tiru as well as a few repeats could legally buy tickets on humanitarian grounds, eliminating the threat of crashers

Opening: The poopy poppy aside, the magnificent garden of eden backdrop with a glass wall is what I call very impressive. I wonder why so few decided to book this hotel? The ballroom's on the small side though. The use of a red carpet accentuates the classical feel

Dinner: Variable serving time. Some of which ended up cold. At least these were mercifully ignored in favour of pictures

Drama: The lineup's better this time. If this showcased talent from the cohort, fine fine fine. Time After Time they decided to relieve Every Breath WE Took

Dance: Dancefloor not favoured. Except the councillors, who're missing out the party due to age restrictions

POST PROM

Given the thrifty nature of AJC ppl in general, and that Tuesday is quite a quiet night for clubs, HomeClub at Riverwalk gladly opened their doors to a horde of AJC ppl. Given that this was hastily arranged in 6 days(or 7 if you count midnight of wednesday), including countless smses sent clandestinely during church camp, the 'free party' surprisingly attracted quite a lot of AJ ppl, even as promotion had been kept to a minimum and that Earnest wasn't sure if it's happening

In the end 50 plus stayed through 3.30, amid the final song, Apologize by Timbaland, which everyone slowdanced away...and never seen before in a post prom...3 cheers for AJC. Even the deejays were bemused and it probably reminded them of their younger days =)

Rocking good time

This is quite a bittersweet life.or maybe spicy and (i forgot).whatever that is I'm sure I had a rocking good time

That aside there are some things which mars what otherwise would have been a great night
Come:a nightmare ride.from Serangoon to Marine parade for Kianbock,then he takes things for Wallopo,but then they all no money,so the poor Merc taxi driver grumbled while waiting for the easel and money,especially when u're coming in a silver merc.didn't drink my vodka martini in the end =(
Stay:what the hell are you doing.it gets pretty confusing when you are told to sign your friend's name,only for another ticket to surface and eventually Kianbock used his real name to sign in as himself.but I had to explain myself to the two of them what the shit was actually happening.fact is they later found out I actually acquired another person's ticket who couldn't make it and so they just let it slide...haha I thought they ask security to bundle that person out.fact is they haven't seen the ultimate one. some funny when Clement C saw me and then they were giggling away about that crasher who wasn't expected to infiltrate secret agent style
Go:this is the ultimate disaster.you are careful with the camera,but when you didn't know there was the pouch that came with it,however insignificant,it mars quite a night,especially when you managed to piss off the very insider who helped you.in the end the cab driver who got me to Momo at midnight managed to console me about the pouch thingy,but I think i'm in trouble if the pouch is insured for $600(not surprised about cam but for a pouch to be valued at a inflated rate means i've no idea what music it is.but better not dwell on it,as the driver said)

Basically other than these offsides that are catastrophic--but too is the fact that they aren't on camera.the best stuff are always found in film,which is why in the nest few days I'll get these pictures uploaded...

Meritus:this is NOT Montenegro.so no Casino Royale scenes.no cards.but then we realli looked stunning not to say slick.but then they guys still looked identifiable.it's the girls tt are goin to the extremes.from spilling cleavage(though not as hiong as last year) to monster hair to stunning simple-chic to those who looked like Jackson Pollock paintings,it's everything but retro for most ppl.The guys are in their business best and the girls trying not to be too fanciful or retro.in fact I just decided to coin the new term FutuREtro as I looked quite slick in the all black,with a slapdash of purple in the tie and gloves(i seem to be the only one doing that.makes for quite a talking point).perfect fit for the LoTR ring that I wore.another talking point haha.wad's the thing with recpetion.no more than idiots trying to squeeze their way through.oddly everyone are less concerned about their dinners than the double amount of ammo they have in their cameras.believe it or not,the programmes sound a bit too boring until Liangpei shows up.quite power but not the main talking point.dinner is chinese again.actually to put it blandly I was thinking of hiding to get the martini but then we quickly found solace in the camera instead as we quickly snapped away.I got 156 pics which didn't even use up half the ammo but I did miss a few like the guys from 2205,1905,William,and a few others.but judging from what they love to pose,we sure have a few favourites here

the husband-wife pose:Kai and JX did that.reminds me of the fact that they look like a married couple
the James Bond pose-ter:guy sandwiched by 2 girls.works only if the guy is in a dark suit and there are 2 gals.I mean Tomorrow Never Dies poster
the Playboy pose-4 girls(or more) and a guy.guy in middle
the spontaneous pose-anything.but then you operate the camera yourself,just like cam-whoring

Pageant wise,it's quite alot of fanfare and predictably Sheila won...wheeee...I think Seeman and her fellow angels/saints/fairies/pixies would be sniggering again.that aside it wasn't much of a draw or a bore given that they cleverly sneakered in lucky draws and happy-happy things such as performances and they basically let everyone snap away with their ammo..haha.but after that everyone seems to file out when the live band starts working...for 1h.except for the hiong guys from 38 who dance until the band strummed their last notes.

Momo:Wallop switched the location.so it's off to Momo,where guys don't normally go in until they are 21(shit la we adolscent meh?).not as smoky first,but then when it gets high,there's more smoke!fact is,Momo Live is quite a cramped campy place which I'd suppose they didnt factor any kinda design.we have anomalies like 03,14 and yeah triple sciencers hitting the clubs while 11 goes ballistic by boycotting the officials.basically with my favourite poison such as Johnnie Walker Black and cognac spoofing off at double digit prices I'm forced to watch my wallet this time.ended up ordering whisky(forgot the brand) and Bacardi.shit you la add so much ice.i say on the rocks and then one whole tumbler of ice instead of a few ice pieces.didn't realli get drunk in the end,although i saw wallop going on a massive high while being very dead drunk!some ppl were probably distracted by the ESPN on the screen judging from wad they were doing,but overall the crazier side of AJCians showed up as they started dancing like crazy,not to mention the booming hip-hop-(bearing in mind i'm more for Mambo Jambo than Momo Jam,this is quite a unbiased comment).needless to say everyone went out with lots of smoke(but not as bad as MOS and Zouk,which is so smoky we really can make finest quality smoked humans)

After:had a good morning's sleep in 2 buses.and yeah check out Pooh.I can swoon for the photos

Frank Sinatra Film Noir

The defining characteristic of Frank Sinatra and fellow rat packers is the cocked fedora that reminds me of the swinging 50s,and his old fashioned but still smart and slick dress sense(read:nothing fancy except for the suit and tie.bowties is for bond only,as is the shaken and stirred vodka martini) with the whisky to match*hold the cigar~*while us ordinary mortals can't sing like him but still has the privilege of owning a bewildering array of Sinatra CDs,it looks like they're sticking to the rat pack for the prommies.

that is vindicated when shoppers saw the whole legion of Rafflesians on their Raffles den in the heart of things and staring up are many Sinatra type ratpackers(of course without the hat or the alcohol or even the tie).Makes (V)hollywood seems extravagant and Retro as hip as Etro.just to say you weren't warned about enjoying an unforgettable night--or the lack of it...NYJC charges $110 for whatever the students wanted(the council didn't skim money) and then the students mutinied.glad to say AJ has the best rates in town(one of the few saving graces where prices are at a sky-high)

that's why many decided to spend astronomic amounts for a divine experience.haircuts in salons for the rich and famous,bespoke suits and bedazzled dresses,hotels,clubs,wannabe James Bonds and their Bond Girl(s)...haha just don't bring in the M18 tag.

ole the bowlers won gold and now we're hoping there're just a few more golds before I start singing Spandau Ballet again(failing which downloading legally seems fine),as is the extra minting of gold medals just to celebrate victory(as if we're back in Napoleonic France).

BN chalet seems like in the doldrums...aiyee..aloha!

P.S:Please drink responsibly

Gold and Glory don't mix

the FAS and the SNOC are at it once again after the events at Doha.I know as a fan I would be a bit pissed at our U-23's not making it.but then it might be as well a good way for both these associations to reflect. we really should have known our limits but we're also stuck with the intention of trying to give experience to our juniors so that we can improve. The SNOC had based on sound logical stuff that they shouldn't trifle with guys like Japan,China,Korea and the Arabs if you can't even get past Iraq or Syria. but judging from the state of SEA football and maybe sport in general,i think i figured out what we're stuck at:our comfort zone

the state of sport has been somewhat crap for the region as a whole.we can be champions of the subzone but what's the point if we go down without a fight in front of powerhouses. with a few exceptions I think we are quite mollycoddled in our own subzone,content with a SEA Games medal. an Asiad medal seems like a dream and Olympics? 2012 is too lax a criteria. to put it mildly,we need to really devote more cash and put a gamble. Our athletes should not participate just because of the perks,prizes or prestige. we fight because we know we have honour within. and yes,ASEAN sport as a whole is more than that

Tu Amor

Mi amor I'm not sure of the right words to say
Maybe these simple words will do best to best explain
What I feel in my heart, what I feel more each day oh
How to make you see
How to let you know
How to see how to say
How I love you so
With words you understand
Words that get right through to your heart
Here’s a place to start

Tu amor (tu amor)
I will always be
Tu amor (tu amor)
Means the world to me
Estarás siempre en mi corazón
You're the one in my soul
And I live for
Tu amor (tu amor)
Tu amor

Mi amor, love you more with each look in your eyes
Maybe these simple words will do best to best describe
What I feel in my heart, what I'll feel for all time oh
How to make you see
How to let you know
How to see how to say
How I need you so
With words you understand
Words that get right through to your soul
Words that let you know

Tu amor (tu amor)
I will always be
Tu amor (tu amor)
Means the world to me
Estarás siempre en mi corazón
You're the one in my soul
And I live for
Tu amor (tu amor

You're the one I need in my arms
Believe me these words I say
Are words that come straight from my heart
How do I make you believe
That the answer to love
That’s what you mean to me

Tu eres la unica en mi alma
Tu eres el unico en mi alma
Yo te quiero
Yo te quiero
Te adoro
Te adoro
Tus labios
Tus labios
Tus ojos
Tus ojos
Mi amor
Mi amor

Tu amor (tu amor)
I will always be
Tu amor (tu amor)
Means the world to me
Estarás siempre en mi corazón
You're the one in my soul
And I live for
Tu amor (tu amor)

lighters,camera,action

oh yeah here's the most niftiest gadget ever-the Golden Gun.just detach and attach at will...not at all bulky unlike some stuff such as Blofeld's cat(oh does that count as a gadget?).but too bad I missed Live and Let Die and I didn't catch the repeat telecast which was 1030 am?!gosh

oh yeah it's time for Casino Royale...haha looks like the vodka martini shaken or stirred doesn't matter at all.but if you are a bond action pack you will be in for a shock

recently I've consigned dad's Nikon Coolpix of i don't know how many generations ago into the cemetery,so I'm forced to look for new cameras.but with him paying some deposits,I think I'm left with few choices...so here are the following models selected for final showdown

- Canon Powershot A640($649) or A710($629).or Ixus 850($729) or I7($429)--Canon is at the forefront of digicam technology.splurge for greater comfort.the kinda rectified the CCD problem sometime back so yay.the former range is the one advertised by Maria Sharapova and the latter Ixus types is what I think she should be advertising instead.if looks don't matter Powershot is the general-if broke then A530 gives a workable excuse

- Nikon Coolpix L6
- Olympus-7.1 MP at $500 onwards.cool deal

haha I'm coming with the money.till then stay tuned

007

when your f***in com cocks out like nobody's damned hell business what do you do?

1)rot at the TV
2)shoot away
3)complain how f***ed up life is

looks like I'm James Bond crazy.3 consecutive days(maybe 2,if you don't count morning's leftovers) and more to come.sean connery is the best James Bond to ever hit the screens.with so many people complaining how James Bond is now all ammo,action and no style...I really love the part where he goes cozy with the girls...hahaha

quite badly,insiders told me that Plan A has failed and I've to use plan B,James Bond style.oh hope i don't get caught please

War-torn

All that is left are now of happy and sad memories.days of glory,and gloom.fighting in a war that was-and wasn't-theirs.Generic Paper story,I think,but maybe we need to clarify what some AJCians really had thinking in their mind whent hey complained about the school.The ending is especially hard hitting when everyone just died inside the battlefield...

And it seems that the next bunch of them has a even more daunting battlefield.now that the Liberation from MT H1 is over,they have one more to liberate.PW.by then the casualties for the War stands at 44,with 126 fighting for their lives at the millitary hospital.The rest,tired,muddied,bloodied,goes on to the mainland,of which they will liberate once and for all.

shitsville

ok my comp had suffered complications following surgery when it was undergoing therapy.after emergency surgery we're forced to shit it.admittedly it's a tough life ahead.
so that means I really need to appreciate what i have been given,particularly when the school coms are SO LAG!I think this is part of a greater conspiracy than simple broke.by making the computers intentionally slow,not to mention the gamut of shit that is contained in the coms I think they were trying to exercise ideological control over students,designed to frustrate them so that they can spend more time...hopefully...outside the com.shit excuse

This time round I think they might have been watching us from the confines of the technical room,so I think I just leave this empty for now
