WHY WE NEED SUPERMAN

Hello everyone:) It's been soo long since i last posted haha..so i shall now do my part to revive the class blog (unlike jane..who is being very very lazy). Firstly today is a gd day cos blocks are over (for our class at least). haha yep its quite an important event so i must say again. TODAY IS A GD DAY COS BLOCKS ARE OVER (FOR OUR CLASS AT LEAST). hurray!:D

Anyway in the morning it was so fun studying bio..haha cos half the time i was playing..oops. And i think kat was going a bit mad too;) haha ok i resolve to study quietly and not disturb others so much next time. Oh then halfway through doing bio paper, mrs foo tapped me on my shoulder and kindly reminded me that next week onwards she'd better see NO MORE THAN ONE EARSTUD PER EAR. whoa so scary, she made me lose my train of thought for a few secs haha. Anyway that was quite random.

Oh AFTER bio half the class went for lunch and movie. Tsk ppl who cannot eat fast shouldnt buy their food so late=D Oh and I successfully safeguarded the 11 tickets..unlike soon huat who was quite incompetent=p haha ok i think this is a gd achievement. Yup so then we went to watch SUPERMAN RETURNS! Superman is so shuai la haha.. so now I finally think Wailumn has good taste. The movie's nice la, even with Nik the skeptic giving a running commentary throughout the whole show hahaha. Hmm did I mention that Superman is shuai. haha. Oh and the little boy's so cute, but of course the person beside me was being skeptical as usual and trying to ruin my impression of him. but happily i was not swayed=D

Later the guys went home and the girls went SHOPPING=D omgosh so fun even though we didn't get much. But we got someone's nice present!:) Oh and wailumn wanted to take neoprints so we went to go and take neoprints. and during the deco part not only did everyone keep putting funny things like popcorn and little animals around my face, they erased all the stuff i wrote on the neos. which personally i think was quite nice haha. then they went to rewrite the exact same thing NICELY, according to them. like there's a difference..haha..

Yup so today was a FUN DAY and everyone should go watch SUPERMAN!!=D

Superman Returns

Therefore our blog is now alive again! (er...haha) Anyway, hooray tt block tests are OVER! Woohoo! ^^

Watched Superman Returns with 10 other ppl. Then went shopping with wai lumn, jane, cm and jaime. First, we, urm, shopped for some clothes while searching for a present. Next, we spent a very long time taking and designing neoprints, 2/3 of which are dedicated to Superman for his contributions to mankind!!! :) Finally, we thought of exactly what present to buy and proceeded to get it. I think it is a very good present and she will like it alot! :p

k, gtg do nothing (o yay!)
bb!

misc II

Yong Zi the expert coroner!

Anyway as for the Class T... The basic design of the back is more or less settled already lah. Just need some design on the front + colour scheme.

And England won't get to the World Cup Final. Brazil and Argentina ftw!

Diana Returns!

I suggest we watch Superman Returns on Friday 1st July.
Then we crash some people's house.

Brazil will win the World Cup!

Blog pronounced dead 3.46pm 19th June 2006. There are maggot larvae on the corpse already, indicating the death was more than a week ago.

Imagine you are in a jungle.

As you look above, you see a canopy of green, with the occasional sunbeam from the afternoon sun.

---

Look.
All you see is trees and fallen leaves.
Look closer.
And moss.
Listen.
A solitary cricket is hidden somewhere, making a din.
Listen again.
A mosquito hovers around you, waiting to feast.

Really irritated now, you swat it.
And you killed it. Or rather, you pulverized it.
Now, you can breathe.
Don't breathe - you see a corpse straight ahead!
Omg, you curse under your breath.
Meanwhile, as you approach it, you realise that it is...
!!!

Holy shit, you proclaim:
A BARELY-BREATHING BLOG, STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE.
Helplessly, you attempted to console it.
And it simply let off a massive fartulation and died.

---

Now spend a minute thinking over the previous few paragraphs.

Spend another minute feeling frustrated.

Read the 1st letter of each line in the paragraph.

And waste 1 minute pummeling JR for wasting 4 minutes of your time.

Now you've wasted 5! Haha.

---

Ok that was totally stupid. But this blog is kinda dead.

BTW, Diana is coming back to Sg from 24 Jun to 1 Jul (or somewhere around there). Mebbe we have a class outing immediately after blocks with her?

And I shall design the class T after Blocks.

Study hard for BTs! Must pwn.

But before tt, there's England vs Trinidad & Tobago at 12mn. Must watch.

Camp

The Happy Camp
It was bright and sunny morning as Salkin rose from his bed at a godly time, 7am. Indeed, the sun was shining merrily and the birds were chirping already, for it was quite late in the day already, and everyone was already up. And the reason for Salkin's late rising was due to the fact that he was going on a camp today, and was expected in school no earlier then 8:40! Perhaps if he had been expected at 6:40 he wouldn't have wasted so much time in bed, like the other lucky souls who probably woke at 5. Salkin envied them. But his moment of jealousy was soon gone, because he knew that he was soon to go on a camp, and be separated from home with it's nice bed and fluffy cushions and warm blankets, (which are oh so horrible), and be rid of his computer with the boring lousy games for an entire 3 days! Ahh, the joy of camping. To sleep on hard ground in cold tents with monster insects, what more could one man ask for? Bounding about in excitement he wolfed down breakfast and got ready to leave. With no tinge of regret or sadness did he depart his home, and headed for school.

Upon reaching there, he was just on time, yet he found no one. Of course, that wasn't the fault of the organisers, it must have been the bad impression students had left on them, and they expected the students to be late. Such efficiency wondered Salkin in wonderment, to plan for this in advance. Soon he came across a teacher, who looked as though she knew exactly where she was and what she was to be doing. And with all confidence she passed Salkin the name sheet to mark attendance. What a great honor to be bestowed upon humble Salkin, who felt the enormity of responsibility that he was entrusted with. And with all due haste he marked the attendance of those present. It was a 100% attendance, and all those without excuses were present. Undoubtedly they were just as excited as him. As he glanced at those unable to come, he felt a pinch of pity, poor people, they would be missing this wonderful camp.

Soon after, taking a mere half hour, they departed and left for Pulau Ubin, the campsite, switching from bus to ferry along the way. When they first arrived, they saw a resort, and for a moment Salkin thought they might be sleeping there instead of camps. Imagine the horror and shock that shattered his poor mind, and his expectations were destroyed as they might be given BEDS instead of tents. Luckily, this was not to be, and they were led away from the resorts. Everyone gaped in awe at the humongous campsite that they were presented with, complete with a fake ocean. After a short safety briefing that was really important, telling everyone important information, such as no smoking (wow, it was something that never occurred to Salkin, and there was a very good chance that he might have gone smoking!) People were given tents to set up. They were in excellent condition, just a little worn from usage, such as bags being ripped, parts like the tent sheet missing, holders missing, bent rods, old rubber, but otherwise in perfect pristine condition! Salkin and his group were lucky, because the tent they were given didn't have the sheet which would be covering the tent and block the rain etc. Instead, they were given another entirely new tent to set up instead of taking the sheet from another tent set. Wow, what nice instructors, to give them this additional practice. These tents were capable of holding 6 people (provided they slept rolled into balls of course), but the kind instructors let us stay in groups of 4, with our bags. How nice.

After setting up our tents, Salkin had lunch. Boxed lunch, probably imported from some god-blessed place, consisting of white rice, vegetables and unidentifiable meat. It tasted absolutely heavenly, and had great nutritional value, such as all the starch from the white rice, msg, coloring, and flavoring from the meat, and the fibre from the boiled vegetables. Not to mention they were given an option to have seconds, no doubt a result of brilliant foresight and planning on their part, having enough for everyone to have two servings and then some.

After which, Salkin and his friends were given the task to climb some strange pyramidal structure. In fact, it was the only kind in the world, something they must have been very proud of since they told everyone 7 times. He would never get a chance to climb something so utterly unique anywhere else. After they collected a safety harness and a helmet, being broken into little groups to go pick them off the ground because otherwise it might have gotten messy. Such foresight and efficiency. They were then asked to leave the water bottles in the shade (no doubt to ensure it didn't heat up a lot, or the plastic might have melted), then had a safety briefing in the sun.
It took the instructors a mere 15 minutes to teach everyone how to put on their helmets, and another 15 to put on their safety harnesses. Then they waited around in the sun as they prepared various things, stuff which couldn't possibly have been done earlier. After everything was ready, the first group went up, and took only about half an hour for them to climb up a ladder and clip themselves to the safety ropes and things. It was really fast. After all, safety was paramount, and that's why they were attached to a safety line to climb up a ladder, then put on an intermediate safety line, removed the first safety line, put on the other safety line, and removed the intermediate safety line. Each time the instructor was expected to check that the clip was screwed tightly, letting the student first check the clip himself, then let the instructor double check. Finally when he was attached safely, the next student could go. By the time it came to Salkin's group, only about an hour had passed. When they all were safely attached, they were all hyper and excited to attempt the first obstacle. They displayed excellent teamwork, (after all, that was the objective of the game,) and cleared the obstacle in about 45 seconds. Then they went and started attaching themselves to the various safety lines and removing the previous ones, so that they might be able to do the second obstacle. However, as they were doing so, it started raining, and they did everything in reverse and went back down. What a bummer.

But no fear, after everyone was soaked thoroughly by the rain, they were moved into the air-conditioned room, which all nice and cooling after the strenuous work. And all the instructors had a great wet-weather plan all ready, with their brilliant foresight. It involved shouting random words such as 'oi', 'oiii', 'oiiioi', and 'oioioi'. Salkin and his friends were then expected to shout back the same thing. It was extremely difficult and taxing, probably one of the reasons why Salkin was unable to do so and spent quite a bit of time being quiet and looking highly perplexed. (Yes, perplexed. He wasn't glaring or muttering darkly to himself.) More fun followed including things such as learning how to clap. And how to count the number of claps one gave. It was all really difficult, and poor Salkin couldn't keep up, and went to sleep after a while.

After the rain stopped, they went back to the pyramid structure and started the process of going back up. This time it didn't rain, and they completed the various obstacles uneventfully.
Overall the whole thing was extremely difficult and taxing, and after the various ordeals Salkin now knew much more about working together as a team, and all the various team skills that they were supposed to learn, after all, with an utterly unique design like that, and being made to move together in a group, it was the epitome of team building, was it not?

After the pyramid thingy, everyone went for dinner. It was out doors cooking, and they were provided with carrots, onions, potatos, and sausages. Aluminium foil, salt and pepper were also provided. They were told to dump everything in aluminium foil and throw it onto the fire for 15 minutes. Then turn it over for another 15 minutes. They were given 30 minutes to prepare food, cook, and eat. More then sufficient time.

Salkin was sad that he had carried along his own food, extra weight which he wouldn't be bothering to eat because the food would undoubtedly be enough to fill his hunger.

After dinner they went and played more complex brain taxing games, which mostly involved random noise and shouting. It encouraged alot of team skills and leadership abilities, and the competition to be the noisiest was really intense as everyone fought with their utmost ability to shout the loudest in the small confined room.

Finishing up, and exhausted from all the teambuilding, they went to sleep in their tents. It was really cool in the tent, with the confined air and lack of wind. They didn't bother to play any card games, and went to bed and slept well on the comfortable concrete ground on the little pebbles that littered the campsite. Neither were they annoyed by the insects and mosquitoes when they opened the tent flap for air.



Meh, this is taking quite some time. I'll leave it at there for now

Shanghai OCIP

well, well, it's quite true actually, we had the weekend off for shopping, plus daily free-time to do even more shopping. plus the teachers didn't really enforce the lights-out rule and most of us gathered in room 704 (the coolest room in terms of air-con) to play bridge, eat snacks, and simply have a friendly chat. there were scandals, yes, and in due time i will post some photos which will speak for themselves ^_'

some of us got really close (in terms of friendship) and we're gonna hang out this coming tuesday...too bad shirli couldn't come else i think she would be glad to meet this group of really nice people...plus i realised that chia ming and jaime knew one of them (jia lin anyone?) on a previous trip to shanghai in sec 3...hmm

oh well i guess that's all...i haven't even blogged on my own blog abt the trip...so there...read up for more updates =P

finally, thank you mr lee for treating us (the 13 of us who tagged along with the teachers) to dim sum on the last day =D

quote of the day:
US: "Who do you think is the cutest chem tutor in sch?"
Mr Lee: "Irrelevant...Change topic"

PS chou dou fu is rather horrible

Randomness

:) hello sorry i havent been blogging so long!~

yay my sabbats--salsa fever dance camp. it was real real real fun! hahahha at first we just learnt the basic steps which was shuffling back and forth in 3 counts each (kinda hard to explain here) then we learnt a lot of other cute basic movements to go along with the basic steps. my sabbat group was full of girls with only 3 guys but it was still great fun cos we ended up pretending to be guys for partnerwork anyway. the instructor was a nice fellow, really, v patient and humorous. plus the great thing is that even when we're taking breaks, we're not exactly slacking cos he plays relevant videos and we watch them diligently. the studio is in this chinatown shophouse and they're very nicely decorated and stuff lol. they all had poles in the studio itself (i guess cos they sort of specialise in pole dancing lol) and it was seriously a fab experience. no irritating pple around and everybody was dead nice and we had air-con all day, which is always a plus.

i heard the shanghai pple did more shopping than CIP lol jking jking. but i bet it was fun though? how was it ben? i heard it was fab. thailand ocip pple were v happy too.
