cl os

supposedly, it's hols, but most of the sec 3s went to school anyway 2dae. we had no choice, due to the chinese o lvls. 1162, paper 1 and 2. yea. so, armed with dictionaries and our entry proofs, the whole horde of sec threes made their way into the hall, filling the once lifeless place to a space of endless noise, where even after screams and shouts from mr chia for us to be quiet, only a small amount of improvement was seen.

hey. what's with the funni tone im writing in? lol.

okay. so we were made to line up in classes (and index number too, but do you think 311 cares?) and went to our exam rms class by class. mine wuz room 23, the 210'06 classroom. shared same classroom with charmaine ann, cheri, zhengyao n patriot. yuhong wuz late and had mr see and mr peh run with him to the exam room to make sure he wuz in time for the exam. lol.

so, exam exam exam.

after paper one, grabbed my granola bar to ease my hunger. carn eat too much, planned great lunch later. then went down with amber for break, cuz she wanted to eat.
went up late, they oreadi started the paper. realised dictionary under table wuz gone, but din realli give a damn. cuz i couldnt rmb if i took it out earlier. i've got memory the size of a walnut. shelled or not, u decide. not much difference anyway.

so, paper 2 paper 2 paper 2.

after dismissal, went out in search of my dictionary. decided to wait till everyone leaves so i can check on every single dictionary left behind. there was none.
then i saw 2 pathetic dictionaries lying on the floor in the exam room, so decided to take a look. to my horror, mine wuz there, and the cover as almost torn into 2 lengthwise. wow. nvrmind, dunno who to blame anw, carn possibly ask mr foo's police fren to get fingerprinting. so packed it in my bag before whizzing off to clementi pizza hut for lunch.

had traditional bolognaise meal. wonder how traditional it really is. had loads of mozerella cheese, which were like refusing to break and hung in strands even with the noodles already in my mouth, so i guess trying to eat them up wuz a comical sight. aaron and annabel made funny faces.
then there wuz this beautiful reflective blue/green big bug ard 1.5 inch in length on aaron's shoulder. he almost wanted to end its little life with his swiss army knife. from switzerland. yea rite. but he din, of course. the little bug captured our attention for a few minutes, before settling on its next target, the chair of an unknown nh gal. annabel went to tell her, then she sorta screamed. and we laughed.
then we left for school cuz i had a maths at 2.30. the left halfway and went to imm.

after amaths i wuz talling annabel i'll wait for her physics to end at 5.30 then go back with her. then she pulled me into the physics class, where i spent the next hour or so listening to physics, with the external something force and the completing of triangle to find the force. haa. the days when i was a physics rep.
gave mr chow a crunchy cappuchino nougat, then he sent me, annabel, liwen and weihao to central. annabel sent me and liwen to boon lay mrt, then sent me home.

yea. i should start on homework soon. loads of maths.

nice clerks nh has.

TODAY...was an interesting day. yep.

felice needed to go home or smthn. she wuz sorta rushing to leave. so i, being nice, volunteered to lock the door for her for mel. well, since mel wuz the chairman, she's supposed to lock the classroom but i dont know how the key got to felice so, yea.
i chased them all out of the class and got my stuff out too, cuz i wuz going to be late for dance. then, after qingyun and yanbing or somebody left the class, i took a few final glances to see if i was going to lock anybody or anything inside by mistake.
nope, i saw nothing xcept 29 tables and chairs standing on a dirty floor. as usual.
thus, i locked both the front and back doors, returned the keys and went happily (not) for dance.
then. ellisse came and asked if i wuz the one who locked the door. i said yes, then she told me i locked her bag and books in too.

yes, i know. darn it. i did look a couple of times to check.

so i told her i'll go get the keys and get her stuff down.cuz im the responsible one mah.
and that was what i did. and that's where the climax comes in.
before i went down, i told junyang "im going back to class, will be late." then ran. he shot me this quizzical look i never had the chance to say anything about. haha.
went office in attempt to get back the keys i returned less than 5 mins ago. lol.
told mdm norma's little son that i wish to get the keys back. her son's like, assisting the collection of keys. then he saed "wait arh, i ask my mummy."
then mdm norma saed cannot, cuz it's not possible that everytime somebody forgets to get stuff from the class they allow people to retrieve keys they have already returned. so i told her that this girl had her whole bag and stuff stuck up there, together with her books. and she cant go home. true wad, no ezlink and wallet and phone go what home. i mean, like, yes, got people can borrow phone and money from, but still, it's always best to use yours right? and all she had was her uniform and shoes, she cant possibly just take them in her hands right?
then she had a phone call, while i stood there, patiently waiting. she put down the phone after awhile, then we sorta continued squabbling.like, she kept saying i cant get the keys and it was my fault that i din check properly. (hey i did okay. chinese call this gui3 zhe1 yan3, ghost cover eyes in el) then i kept arguing back that i have to get the keys, cuz that girl HAS to go home. then she asked me who my chairman was. i didnt want to pull mel into this shit with me, so i just saed she's in dance. then i asked if the prob ll be solved if i get her down. mdm norma din reply. then she asked mi to go away and not disturb her, if not she key in monetary stuff (which she wuz doing then) wrongly then big trouble.

hey. u give me the key then okay lerr lah!

of cuz i din say that. i told her im wiling to wait til she finishes with her stuff. then she saed, it's no use, she wont get me the keys no matter what.

in my previous experience, when a student needs a key which was returned, the office ll send a staff to go up with the student, open the door and wait till he/she gets his/her stuff, then go down with him/her to return the key. the stdent does not get to touch the key at all.
so i asked mdm norma, since i couldnt see any other person in the office xcept her and ms ban, who's bz, if i could like, sign out the key then return again. she saed cannot, and repeated that it's my fault i should have checked and that she wont give me the key. then she saed that office shorthanded, she cant go up with mi if not office nobody liao. like ms ban not person. gahh.
then D and E came into the office and asked for scotch tape.
mdm norma took this as a perfect opportunity to say " you go out lah, go and dance, i cant give you the key anyway."
then i passed by ms ban, she asked me what wuz happending, then i told her then she saed that since school has ended, can just go home wad. so itold her it wuz dance now, then she saed, dance oso no nid books and bag. take key for wad. then i told her that girl has everything in her bag, w/o money, ezlink card how to go home. she just kept saying it's my fault and i should have checked.
D and E were still waiting for their scotch tape cuz mdm norma wuz still bz with her monetary stuff. they overheard me, then told me, "climb in lah! remove 3 window panes can liao." i replied "u all help me lah." they agreed and ask what class what level and whose things inside. told them lah. then mdm norma went" u go out lah, go and dance. i cannot help you."
fine. then i told D and E that i'll wait for them outside. they came out after sometime empty handed, cuz the tape that the office has cannot stick cardboard de. they wanted it to stick the cartons they were using to get their books home.
so we went up to the sixth floor. there wuz this cleaner uncle with a whole bunch of classroom keys. i asked E if we should ask him to open the door for us. E saed no need. so we went to my class. i pointed at where ellisse's stuff were. funni. i din see them when i locked the door.
D and E skillfully removed three window panes, saed the method wuz discovered by 3/8. lol. D climbed into the classroom thru the space made by removing the window panes and got the stuff out. after he climbed out, D and E replaced the window panes. voila! everything done, and no evidence of break in.
thanked them then went back to dance with ellisse's stuff.

hehh.

311'06, 411'07?

it's always like that.
why do we only realise how certain things are dear to us only when they are at the binge of extinction?
why do we only discover how precious they are when there is absolutely nothing we can do to keep them?

will we ever learn?

311'06, and trust me, 411'07. no matter what they say of us.

NEWater

9 out of 29 members of the class of 311 , with 310 and 312, visited the NEWater visitor centre on the 18th day of October, year 2006, at time 2.30pm. which is yesterday.
the guy who welcomed us asked why we were late, cuz the tour wuz scheduled to be from 2.15 tp 4.30, then dunno who said traffic jam. farni larh, traffic jam at that time. that guy must be dumb to believe.
watched a video, then toured the place.
some joke at the toilet area. cuz we were supposed to sit on the carpeted floor for the introduction of the tour. then at the 2 sides were the male and female toilets, one on each side. somehow the guys gathered and sat near the female toilet, and girls at the male. then, because the toilets didnt look like what they were supposed to be, and a male cleaner wuz in the female toilet then, sum guy walked in. after the introduction, the tourguide saed we could visit the toilet, and because of the commotion ealier, he said "i assume u all know where the toilets are?" then sum three ten guy pointed at the female toilet and said "that one is ours lor! cuz we sit here mah! then the girls go to that one (the male one)." then another saed "ehh why he (the male cleaner) can go inside (the female toilet) then we cannot?!?!" hehh. three ten guys.
so we were given ard 10 mins to tour the place. short time lah, dumb. must have deducted it cuz we were late. the stuff wuz okay lar, refer to photoblog for more.
if they had wanted to deduct time frm smthn, they should have trashed the video. no use de. and zhao han attempted to video the whole tour, from the time we boarded the bus. then the guy worker there said "take as mani pictures as you want, but for sucurity purposes, no videoing please, especially to the boy there holding the video camera." then all heads turned to zhaohan. stupid china guy attempting to sell our technology to china. hmph. joking, please.
then we watched another video. bout IPU, forgot wat it stands for. nvm, i dont plan to manufacture NEWater when i grow up anw.
then they brought us to the walking on NEWater place. automated doors everywhere. waste money lar. again, look at photoblog.
gave us NDP NEWater, 2 months old. the tourguide person said foreigners who tried NEWater said it tasted sweet, sum saed like coconut and a kid saed like apple. i think it tastes like metal.
so we were brought into the NEWater factory. okay, not really. that's the name, but we were given only sneak peeks. like, a little here and there, anf animated cartoonised versions on videos. stupid. if you dont want us to know the whole thing for fear of us selling the info, then dont show us at all! and waste money constructing the whole visitor centre and hiring tourguides with absolutely poor english. "exprain", "one questions"...yea u know them.
after that wuz the comittment wave, were we leave msgs into a comp instead of a guestbook. went on behalf of 311 cuz the others just dont take initiative. typed in "three eleven was here!!(=" just for the sake of it. didnt take picture of it, but it looked rather pretty.
then an automated door opened and we were whisked off into the sunlight. finally, after an hour or so in dimmed lighting.
then went dance with car sickness from the bus back. raja say must go mah. lol. siian didnt. cuz he din bring his trackpants and had thai lessons anyway. and he wuz surprised i did, cuz i saed i didnt want to. dance wuz fine i guess. refreshed after 2 months w/o dance. good start to get us kicking for syf lah.

went mustafa centre 2dae.bought lots of choc, mostly food we brought back. mum got me new earphones. nice. mayb ll use it next year. lunch wuz at an indian restaurant/kopitiam. sorta in between. food not bad lah, but the mutton in the biriyani wuz a tad too salty. tempeh wuz nice and crispy.(= mum suggested another indian restuarant for a meal next time. looking forward!!

aaron sent me home yesterday. lol. liwen and us went to jp first. walked round, went ntuc and got out by the entry place. not supposed to, but just pull the gate thingy can liao. liwen attempeted to get out the way she entered, just wasnt clever enough that ppl put that no entry sign there for nthn. the gate din work two ways. they got icecream. i decided i shouldnt. koped abit frm each of them anyway. actually sae wanna go eat, but i din want fastfood in the end. then liwen suggested kopitiam. we went, sat down, aaron walked round, couldnt find things to eat and decided he's nt hungry anymore, so we left. stupid, i know. yea then we walked more and he sent me home.

hols coming in 2 weeks, plan to go shopping for clothes. swimwear too. havent gone swimming for quite some time.

anyone wants to go out to watch german movie with me at moelc on any day of next week? haa. should be going on tues, not to watch movie, but to get herr neiser to sign stuff. the movie i wanna watch's scheduled on thurs. anyone interested? sorry, most probably no english, not even subtitles. cuz the last time i watched lotr it was german voices and german subtitles. doesnt make sense, but that's how they want it. it's in the auditorium, so mayb instead of watching the movie, u may haf the choice of sleeping under the aircon. attendance not taken, so actually everyone can go in. even if you're not a student there, yes.

mid-autumn

let's start from friday.
there wuzn't supposed to be school for me, cuz i din have ne papers. geog paper1, chinese paper 3, n english lit paper sumthing.
so im supposed to sleep in. woke up at ard 6, by my dad who din know im nt supposed to be in sch n tot i wuz late.lol. then i slept back n woke up at 7+. no1(mum n bro) wuz awake yet.
forgot the rest of the day. but i went to the library n jp in the evening, in the bad haze. borrowed books, bought mooncake n got stuff for mid-autumn poster. which i had volunteered to do because it seemed as if nobody gave a damn about the whole thing. n i realised i was wrong, very, the next day.

sat.
lazy me thought that i would get out of bed once my dad leaves for work, since i heard him packing his bag n tt means he should be leaving soon. so i waited for the tingling of the keys. but no, there wasn't any. instead, i heard the sound of a spoon tapping on his mug. which means he wuz going to have breakfast. gahh. so i got up.
after breakfast and all, i decided to procrastinate n read my bro's astrosaurs book before doing the mid-autumn posters.
i started of with making three stands for the posters. 2 for mine, n 1 which mrs tan got me to do for the cancer lady. used cardboard n large roll of tape. then went on to poster. orange plastic board thingy, corugated or sumthing u guys call it. i wanted to get 2 but decided one would be enough, because of the innovative invention (note: alliteration) called the penknife, which i could get my mum to use to cut the board into 2. indigenous, ain't i?
i got my mum to halve it the prev night. so i began drawing lines on hte boards with chalk cuz 1. i cant write straight and 2. it can be easliy removed by a wet piece of tissue.
by 9+, i wuz done with three stands and two posters, one chinese and one english. the chinese one saed :为善最乐。趁这佳节,请助我们的癌症病患者一臂之力,购买他们精心制作的手工艺品。您的一份爱心,将给予他们无限希望。谢谢。the english one was: giving is better than receiving. this mid-autumn, bring hope to out cancer patients by purchasing their handicraft. thank you for your support. i think i'll post the pic in photo blog.
then i forgot what i did. then my mum n bro n i went to nh after lunch for the roller blading event. reached at 2+. i think. super early, that's for sure. took pics n stole my bro's maom cola sweet. n ate in the hall. heck with the dancers' rule. talked to mr foo n for the third time, told him my bro's school and level. argh. he never remembers. he doesnt have to, he's just asking for the sake of it.
then at 5+, after the refreshments, brought my mum to the lift where she went to the auditorium for that "art of communication" talk with another mum. not mine, of coz. then brought my bro to the canteen where we finished out food. sat for awhile then decided it wuz time to go find mrs tan cuz no nothing wuz set up for us. 1st try, she wasnt in. then i went down n got a table n a chair outside ncc room cuz mrs tan saed that's where our stall would be. put lanterns at the ncc windows. then i went up again. cuz we were supposed to meet, the whole of 3/11, at 5.30pm.
and she wuz there. and guess who she wuz with. jeslyn and melissa. i saw from outside, i called with the fone outside but she din pick up. then got tcher go in so i used the open door to go in n she saed "how did you get in?" so i saed i called but she din answer so i went in. damn. then i told her i got the stall ready with decor and all, then she sent me down with the rest of the posters and money box. jb n felice were down there when i went down. yep. so we crapped then me n felice went walk walk then to toilet so she could retie her hair. then when we went down again they (who knows who) changed the place of the stall to the place where the light n fan controls are at the back of the canteen. causing us to be camouflaged by the other shimmery stalls. wo my effort of pulling the table n chair myself n putting up the lanterns with my bro went to nothing. thanks man. i took down the lanterns which they stupidly put at where they were in grave danger of getting squashed. nice site chosen mah.
well at least they did use my posters. n sum saed they were nice.
more ppl came n i slacked more and went to watch peformance. woah. festival of the cheena people man. everything other than dance and co and guzheng wuz cheena ppl. why let them do the emceeing and crosstalk when sg students can do as well or even better? ans: cuz we've got prc teachers in charge of the cds. and cds is in charge of mid-autumn. which means, the prc teachers are incharge of mid-autumn. stupid. crosstalk like their own little paradise. nobody really understood i think. even though i spend at least 6 periods a week listening to prc ppl talk during chinese lit, it din turn out very entertaining for me.
dance's item wuz. i don't know. sorta like kindergarten graduation. it din have the nhds oomph we used to have before ndp crashed everything. or mayb it wuznt ndp. it wuz the lousy people.
went back to stall at irregular intervals. stood there for like a few mins n scoot of again. nthn fun watching people spend money on felt keychains and handphone straps and hair clips and brooches.
then at 9pm, announcement wuz made, saing that the Pollution Standards Index wuz at 150, so we had to pack up n leave the school and go home. the haze wuz realli bad larh. i shall not elaborate, since the newspapers have it all. they even have graphs telling u the level at different times of the day.
went to macs with aaron and liwen and jiawen. annabel n yubing walked first cuz yubing hurt herself when chasing annabel or smthn. then annabel waited for her dad to send her home before coming to join us. hten after a coke for liwen and an apple pie for eveyone else but me, aaron sent annabel home and we decided we should return to our humble abode too, sheltered from the haze and everything.
wuz super tired and appalled when i saw the time as only 11. damn. it wuz like i spent two whole days camping at nanhua.but it wuz just like, 7 hours? argh.
bathed and slept and woke up late today. nothing much. grown fatter.

some people just don't appreciate. like mrs tan, who thought the two of them were like priceless gems for yesterday. when i did so much. nhds too. im not in the exco after doing so much and people who do nothing or pretend to do stuff get into the exco. and i stay as a fucking member. just like any of the freshmen. unlike mr chin. i guess he's the only teacher so far who has appreciated my efforts. during a journal entry in sec 1, entitled love, he wrote in my book that love is volunteering to coordinate a class play, which i did before that entry. n we got into the finals even tho we didnt win. but he appreciated it all, even though he didnt bring up anything in class. he's a nice teacher. but he had to change school. good teachers never stay for long. good people don't stay alive for long too, that's why jk left. cuz he's too nice.
