Happy Birthday Xinyi and Bryon!

We celebrated Xinyi and Bryon's birthday today outside the LT after our lecture... Co-ordinated by Amanda and Licia (and maybe some more but I don't know who so we're thankful also). Denise wasn't available to co-ordinate the celebration but she was remembered.

So here are some pics:









Basically Han Long was trying to take photos of Amy and Amanda but Amanda kept on closing her eyes when the flash went off. So after 3 tries, Han Long suggested that Amanda close her eyes first then open her eyes wide when he finished counting to three before he took another shot. So Amanda closed her eyes, trying very very very hard not to laugh and both Amy and Amanda got into a pose...

One...

Two...

Han Long pressed the shutter at this point and lo and behold, we have four pictures of Amy with Amanda (and her eyes closed). ;)



Alright. Ppl pls blog more here!!!

The mad (med) people have exams next week. Take care everyone and goodbye! =)

I survived the 1st day of school, literally

With many cuts...

After the long awaited anticipation for another entry, here I am! Hahaha I finally got my bike at my college because it's very far away from city centre (takes at least 20 mins to walk to my lectures and buses are damn ex) and I rode to school! and crashed to the bushes...

Haha yes it's really stupid I must admit. I was with my course mate and we were riding together to school. The Ang mohs are really much faster than me so I try to keep up and in e end I just tell them to go ahead without me. Ok back to the stupid morning story.. This guy was in front of me and he cut up a pavement because there was a stupid truck at the cycling lane, and stupid me thought that I could do the same too and in the end I crashed to the scrubs and bleah (see pictures below)

This was 8 hrs after I got the cuts so it's pretty dried up already. Sigh there are only 5 ppl in my college doing econs n management and they are all guys! I have to ride very quickly to keep up with them and with my lack of balance it's not worth it I guess. And I almost got knocked down by a london cab which was yeah pretty jia lat because I was in such a hurry to get to lect... Hopefully my cycling gets better and by next yr I will be council's no 1 cyclist :P

I have got work to do now so I shall keep this short lol I tried to wash my clothes last Saturday (sounds pretty simple isn't it, just dumping the clothes to the washing machine and use a dryer on it later). The problem was when I entered the room with the stuff I saw 4 machines, 2 sets of 2 identical machines. one was washing clothes and the other was out of order. So Mr joker-me opened one of e other 2 machines and wondered how all this works. Then I dumped everything into that machine and went "hmmm there's a green button, so that should be the next step right?" and clicked tt n e machine works! But it was quite weird because I didn't have to pay 1 pound to get the machine going and it was producing really weird noises! I stood there for a while and finally my neighbor whose clothes were in the machine came. so I asked her "Hey do you know how this thing works?"

"Oh it's a dryer..."

Yeap. I put my unwashed clothes into the dryer! Hahahhaa so stupid right? I took out the clothes and they were all hot! The amazing thing was how the dryer even functions withou me putting 20pence in... anyway she was highly amused and went "Do you put the washing powder into the machine?!" "Er... There's a need for washing powder?" [faints]

In the end she ended up lending me her washign powder and some softener and taught me how to use the machine... hahahaha incredibly lame isnt it? Ok i gtg! Eh ppl overseas n in Singapore, blog her eonce in a while le. I really don want this to end up becomign my personal blog.. Oh I have squash trials with the Oxford Blues captain on Wednesday afternoon! I missed the uni one because I thought I will get thrashed so I signed up for college squahs instead.. ended up winnign quite comfortably against the captain lol but university Blues is a totally different thing. I think I will propose just playing best of 3 sets so that I can go all out esp when my stamina is sooooo bad, and my butt hurts because of the bumps during cycling...

Ah wells, tt's all from me for now :) Take care everyone!

My blog

Haha sorry guys and girls, I think that if I don;t get too much depression in the UK< you can expect random entries at this place. I am leaving! See boss, I don't whine and I don't feel like crying or nostalgic 6 hrs before I go to the airport you know... Going there at 6am in the mornign seriously defies natural cycle of life and I am certainly not pleased with the prospect of few people to send me off HAHAHA ok pardon my big ego but yes I still think it will die down quite badly after I have come to realize my inadequacies and accept that I don;t fit in...

Went for supper with classmates earlier and this guy at the counter went "Hey dude how are u!" "fine...?" Ahhh the angmoh land, tt's wad we call it. I am supposed to be sleeping now since I am supposed to be fresh tomorrow, but I am still sticking to my initial concept of following the British clock when I sleep. In other words, I am supposed to only sleep at about 3am, which is not a very attractive prospect considering I will wake up 2 hours later. I am feeeling so tired now with all the hectic packing (which is finally done) and catching up with people and doing random things before I go that it seems like yesterday since my last blog post.

On a side note, Kboxing rocks! Quite a good turnout actually :) With Kangya being our stefanie sun (wo men yong yuan zhi chi ni!) It will be at least 10 more months before another Kbox session, "who's the boss" and even sessions of Jack Josie, in which ironically will be somehow missed if I do get too isolated in the land far far away. PLeaseee whoever is involved in those 3 things I mention above (with least priority on the latter), make sure that we meet up kae? There's a new facebook group for councilors and personally I don't think it was a fantastic idea since our own group is dead, and this blog barely surviving hahaha thanks Chings and Kangya for tagging! Why don u blog ah :P

Alright then, I am feeling tired now. It shouldnt be too long before entries of school comes here. This's what listening to everyone talk about their uni life and crashing nus brings about: missing lessons. Gosh I cant believe I'll ever say that. I can't find anyone to talk to online anyway... maybe they are sleeping now so that they can wake up early tomo! Such big ego isn't it? It is really inflated by you guys. I told myself I will burst tt big ego before I go though I know tt doesn';t make sense.

Tired. Sleepy. I'll miss my bed. and my buddies' love;y invest present. They will be so sad tt it wont go with me to the UK

ciaoz

the road ahead

June 10 2007

That was the last time any councilor last had an entry here. Slightly more than 2 years have passed since the picture at the top right hand corner was 1st taken. the years gone by, the experiences, the memories, are captulated in the photos tt I browse through sometimes, jus for reminiscence.

The past 9 mths have been a period where some of us have just stayed where we are, looked around our surroundings, holding on to the ppl we care for, hoping tt nothign will ever change, tt time will stop, tt we will be happily stuck in this comfort zone forever. no more anxieties, no more loneliness, just being content with the state of affairs...

Those days are gone, aren't they?

I will never spend 9 mths doing nothing ever again. I will never b able to go back to RJ n relive everything again. It happened so quickly and time has just flown by and I just cannot believe I will be leaving the ppl here to go away.

I will miss u guys (n girls :P)

tt's of cuz... if u do still come here to see the blog

Sentio

Great job to all the councillors who danced for sentio! 25ths xin and char and 26ths. A 24th d guo was there as well haha.

Anyway here are some pictures. If you have more please post ok?

Junghans, the ever friendly

Junghans: Have you bought tickets to Sentio?

Junli: Nope, I haven't yet!

Junghans: I think we should buy our tickets together ;)!

reminiscent! (:

haha okay josie i'm guilty of not posting up this poster earlier. days have been terribly long and busy :( anyway, here are our photos from our date at 27th council camp! remember our next date at 27th invest! :)

A 25ths' family photo hehe (:

The scary CCICs! :) [without licia and peko :(]

Platypus mouth!! hehe i can blackmail everyone already :P

CCICs at 26th investiture :)

My President and i! (:
[ok army boys are not allowed to start criticising my salute! i know it's terrible... it's been ten thousand years since i last saluted although i'm a proud UG member! hehe]

heh yup that's about it for council camp. i hope no one comes to this blog other than the beloved 25ths. the platypus mouth photo is quite humiliating, but put up just for laughs ok! (: hope it brightens all of your days... anyway just for the record, this is for josie:

MMPD rocks! :D

haha sigh. all these seem so long ago... posting all these photos is making me sad again. (and it takes a super duper mighty long time to upload photos! they better not eat up my post later hehe) anyway, miss you all, miss the council room! go check mail that i sent out and hopefully we will meet soon again, before everyone starts travelling to the different ends of the earth.

quote of the day: never regreat anything that made you smile! :)))) remember our 'no regrets' and little time capsule? (:

<3!!>

where's our 'reunion' photo?!

hey boss pls try to somehow update the photo that we took on last sunday k?! it will b quite nice to have photos of our faces for the next 10 yrs (if tt's ever possible) and see how we changed hahaha

It is actually quite disappointing that noone blogs abt going back to school! Chinghui what happened to ur blogging enthusiasm haha ok yeah it's quite nice seeing most of our 25ths back crashing and feeling like fossils because we're so 'old' already la!

Okay for once I really cant think of any crap to say. Man this sucks how can this be happening to me! i m losing my crappiness! hahaha ok i'm tired but see i still try to blog! lol btw to the welfare dept ppl who still checks here, i m learning to cook new dishes to entertain u all next time! but yeah i guess we wont b having a gathering too soon becuz of e ns guys but yeap hopefully june is possible! :) I will try to learn how to make apple struddle! hopefully after eating it u wont b too traumatized haha

HEY ARE WE LIKE MEETING BEFORE THE 11 AM AT THE COUNCIL CAMP THING!!!

Council camp...

hahaha it will b quite funny if a 27th found his way onto this... but if he/she does, be warned! have fun getting pumped n bullied n scolded at hahaha but council is veh nice la honestly speaking lol 先苦后甜! (ok sorry akshayy haha)

When we go back this sunday, it will officially mark 2 years (and 2 days since it will be e 3rd day of council camp) that we first met one another! Time flies doesnt it? from then we starting going on our crazy and once-in-a-lifetime journey of staying in school till unearthly hours doing the stupidest craziest things from creating red apples to cutting paper strips for open house to watching tennis girls play lob shots tt caused us to end our GM so late to coming to school at 6 am in e morning at dear Charles' demand to coming back on Saturday for cc dry run n having e best attendance ever to going for PIP n 25th farewell to Grad Night n ending our 2 yrs in school...

Garh I seriously don't feel like moving on to uni n overseas.. why muz we all go our separate ways?! cant we jus all stay in singapore n forever stay in those times where we can talk crap about what happiness is and coming back on sundays to clean up the council room (ok the latetr thought is kinda scary but still tt's not the point) Then we'll go to another world of environment or friends and there wont b 52 of us meeting together ever again!

see 26ths/27ths? council camp is the only time u can have e whole council together! best time to suffer together hahaha

ok time to dig up another photo to paste here!

yeap this (in case any stupid 25th forgot) is the photo taken after our dry run! hahaha i think there were 50 of us there! by far the best attendance as far as i can rmb... hahah ok bad thing to say if anyone finds his/her way to here lol

ok now for smthing more self-indulging

Introducing... Welfare! hahahaha that's Charles and Amy and Cindy (the one who seems as though he jumped to the pic hahahha) Welfare rocks! hopefully i can organize a gathering at my hse in May?! Cooked spagetti and it was damn nice n most importantly i didnt have diarrohea after that so tt's good :> if u see the blur sleepy face at the top right hand corner scratching his head, that's our dance king! lol see? join council n u can dance! hahahaha (hopefully u get e inside joke :P)

Okay that's e end of me as of now... still trying to get a job. hopefully i can go get a work permit tt allows me to work part time. money and waitering... here i come!

josie

(why cant u guys blog har? it jus takes a tinny winny bit of ur time lol)

happy birthday to the march babies! (rather belated)

happy belated birthday to the March babies! haha this is e only mthly birthday pic i have becuz yeap it is the dry run of CC! Mans one year has passed just like that and if u go into the sch compound next week u will find that the whole campus is like er (ruined with posters n blue tags :P) for all u knoe someone may campaign rugger's style again n get screwed lol

and yes! our dear ns boys r back for another 3 weeks! pls make sure tt u don screw up inside and show up on sunday morning 15 april k! then since e kiddies r probably dead already we shall go out ourselves n perhaps get e best attendance ever :> probably go for lunch or smthing okay?

a random quote from a random convo with a random councilor under a random situation of hiding in a random lt watching a random presentation :P

"the bigger the obstacles, the sweeter the victory"

life isn't always fair, perceptions do matter more than real quality at times, and it's just a qn of what u believe in most. tt's why school still rocks event tho it is mother stressful when we mug, n it's up to us as to whether we want to adapt, compromize, change or be resolute in our principles. weigh n balance these urself :)

lol seldom do words tt seem to require thinking do come out of my mouth eh? ok let's add smthign tt sounds more josie-like then...

hahaha oops i actually realized tt this photo has our names attached there! ok better not elaborate too much but welfare rox!

i think us unis replies r like coming out this week next week so to all e girls n boys who r prob getting nervous, don't be! everything's gonna be alright :) ok it's late. is soccer game ever gg to start? garh ok nights ppl!

josie!

p.s wes this is a blog, not a test paper which requires spelling correction haha i knoe how animosity is spelt so don;t worry abt my english being bad even though i don think i can find a proper english tuition grrr

posting

haha the first word i see when i start blogging is posting...n guess wad day today is? posting day :P to all the boys who got into ocs and are happy to be there, congrats! to the rest who are in sispec or unit, hopefully u're happy there too yea. so pls update who went where :P

just on a random side track, personal note to josie: i think its animoSity not animonity...read ur last entry and u'll know wad im talking about :P haha

english lessons aside, anyone has the latest photo of our gathering at jack's place? can upload. thanks.

anyhow been meeting up with a number of ppl randomly over this past week n talking alot. with all the scholarships we're applying for, it just seems like such a hurried decision we have to make about our lives. 6 years may not be long if we like our job...but that's IF we like it. if we dun, as the saying goes...suck thumb lor...

but congrats to those who alr have scholarship offers n uni places. to those still waiting, jiayou. im sure there are good things in store for u. as for those who are koping scholarship places but really want to do nus med, pls stop being mean to ppl who realli want scholarships. heh. ok just kidding. but hope u'll can come to a decision too. not like me. dunno wad to do. sian.

to all my fellow OCTs...its another 3 weeks confinement unless we get out for easter weekend, so jiayou! dun think too much and u'll be fine.

btw...i still have videos of josie n kangya dancing to "speedy gonzales" and "do that thing you do" and darren n guanghao singing "calcutta" and "numb" at kbox from dunno when. haha. if i see chinghui i'll send to him to upload k. thanks chinghui :)

ok leave u'll a photo to reminisce. love u'll!


















[post has been edited due to some sensitive issues regarding some policies of some organisations]

Yay, signs of life finally

Thank you Josie for posting an entry, however irrelevant. Nevertheless, your efforts are appreciated by all of us. =D

Most of the guys have POPed! We are now privates!

this is my blog now!

hai... i think it was darren who complained last yr when e tag board was introduced n wesley who commented tt our blog entries have decreases exponentially (ok mathematically i really have forgotten how that works haha)

(in a serious matter-of-fact tone)

Having discussed the matter with a member of the 25th students council Sia Ching Hui, we have come to the sad conclusion that this blog is on the verge of becoming his second blog. In view of that, why not make it mine?!

(Hahaha ok back to e crappy tone)

I was just thinking when we go overseasor stay local but still go separate ways in many senses, this can actually be a good place for us to blog abt our adventures! haha for computer illiterates like me who don't know how to find and cut and paste a tag board, this blog serves as the perfect avenue to crap on! hahaha anyhow jus a reminder that the intro message on the blog is from me anywae so perhaps it's meant to be that I take possession of this blog wahahahahha

ok just to add some entertainment value, i have decided to paste some pictures to keep those ppl who faithfully still come to this blog once in a blue moon entertained! and please. don't jus tag. reply! blog! haha i think u can ask chinghui on weekends if u somehow cant blog n he will help u :D

(ok i still dont knoe how to post photos hahaha chinghui help me!)

wahahahaha i did it! thanks ching hui! ok now the time calls for a little morebit of self indulgence :>

hahaha becuz i don really have many pics with me now so yeah non welfare pls forgive me :)

Welfare Projects rocks! Welfare S n G rocks! Welfare Blazers rocks! Welfare Internal welfare rocks! Welfare Secretary/treasurer rocks!

n that's y we have welfare rocks!

Okay this is so corny! hahaha please forgive this pollution to your eyes :)

I am ending off here. hopefully u will have one blog entry a day and b entertained! i guess i wont b posting past photos but there are some of them which can be found at jungsphotos.blogspot.com hahaha once u see tt blog u will oso understand y i am being so cheapskate n jus kope a blog like tt :P

josie! (i think for e sake of animonity from ppl i better stick to this name for my entries haha)

Hello!

Before this blog turns into an all girl thing and before it grows moss, let me write something in here, hopefully enough to inspire my fellow NSF to pen down random entries as well.

Our two outings were such a blast! Big thank yous to the organizers. A pity to those who couldn't make it, like Josie for example, because it was nice just catching up. Most of the talk revolved around the army though. This means that girls should tell us more about their lives so that the sharing will not be lopsided.

Can't believe its only 1 month to POP! Time really flies when you don't really have time to think about things. Its just PT, looking forward to cook house food and PT from now on for those who have completed the major events. Yes, the cook house food is actually rather delicious! Had ice-cream 3 times already for dessert.

Here are the group pictures that we took. Enjoy and see you people soon. =)

here to save josie =p

helloo everybody! (: haha YES JOSIE i'm here to save you of boredom by updating something! anyway, seems like most of you are too busy to update! and of course, with so many of our guys away in tekong, it's the girls' responsibility to try and keep this blog active yarh? heh.

so yes. I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL the other day! ((: whee. gonna lose my freedom from the coming week onwards after work starts so i figured i shld go back and visit first. yes i'm finally going to make my life useful instead of rotting at home haha! and yes it made me miss school terribly. council room and the area outside it!! the council room has been refurnished! each 26th has his/her own cubby hole now! pretty cool. and the room seems more spacious so it's nice. oh, and they painted the walls over with white paint! so it looks cleaner now (: yeapp! the new rule - totally no shoes allowed in the council room at all. not only the "no-shoe zone". yay. cleaner council room! ((:

anyway, i hope all our army boys are doing fine! oh josie, i heard that for the earlier batch their POP is on 13th march and for the later one (jan) batch it's on the 14th. and it's supposedly a 1 week break. so if you want to organise the trip thingy, guess this period is good! (: met up with cedric and jonny just now and heard many army stories. heh. especially since cedric just returned from his fieldcamp. those of you going for fieldcamp soon - JIAYOUU! (:

uhhuh, please blog people! it's pretty sad really to see this blog die. =/ update us on your lives!! argh, having a lot of trouble uploading the photos somehow. forget it i give up. shall try again some time. alright, so take good care people! i hope everyone's doing great!! oh and btw, HAPPYY BIRTHDAY KOO!

love, kang

...

Sigh.. why doesnt anyone post any entries on our blog? :( keep bored people like me updated and with something to do le haha... anyhow I am still in my small little comfortable and boring hometown of pontianak! I have taken driving lessons as of now, gotten my driving lisence and waiting to go to jakarta next monday n try to get it converted to ASEAN lisence :)

My house is getting renovated! apparently the flooring is super old so it's gotta be polished and the ground floor is in a total mess as of now. but it's quite funny becuz the workers had to put some glue to be dried up overnight and I actually saw lizards on the floor, motionless, becuz the glue got stuck onto them and basically they cant move at all wahahahaha

Okay that sounds quite evil... but I am feeling extremely bored now and I cant wait for the tennis lesson to begin in abt half an hour. it's quite cheap actually but the coach is a money-faced guy so i got quite pissed off by his greediness:( I think i am really running out of things to write so somebody pls say/plan smthing! :) tata hope e girls are finding joy in their work n e guys r becoming men in army :P

Josie

Exodus in Indonesia

Hai why is our blog and yahoo groups so dead? :( anyhow to all Singaporean guys going into army (or already in there), good luck for BMT and BE A MAN! Hahaha as you can see I am obviously feeling very bored now... I just reached Pontianak, my ever quiet and peaceful hometown, about 4 hours ago and already I am feeling sian. But believe it or not, it has internet connection! Hahaha so if anyone misses me just come online in the afternoon and I think I will be online lol my mum somehow likes coming to the office so I pressume she'll drag me along to just sit and stone, so entertain me!

Oh by e way I am going to learn driving so soooon! first lesson is just an hour away.. I am starting with a manual gear though and honestly I don't think the experience of daytona and Lizhan's idiotic turbo is making me very excited as of now. But having gotten drenched in the rain for the past 2 days in Singapore, I am determined to make sure that the next time I go back to Singapore, I will have had an ASEAN license (apparently Pontianak no longer does them) and I can drive the West-ies home if we do go out for a council outing at Chompchomp! then again i think I will prefer crashing someone's house...

Ok I am so absolutely rambling and I think it is obvious that since we are unlikely to meet for the next few weeks, please talk crap here! hahaha I think I will be back once the O level results are released so tt we can go and play and drink a bit the night before the much feared A results pop out... And in response to the relatively enthusiastic response to a possible getaway I was thinking tt maybe we shd still try to plan a trip and try to include as many people as possible. One in March. One in June! because once some of us go here go there it's very difficult to get everyone to come back again :(

Alrite! I shall end my long draggy entry here by reminding everyone of 16 May 2016! haha work hard, play hard, army hard, we'll meet up for a gathering soon enuff! (maybe we shd go east coast park like last time lol time flies)

the ever bored josie

Para para

We had a battle between Junghans, Wesley and the dance king. (Sorry for the quality!) Wesley owned them both. He must have been practicing secretly at home everyday as we can tell from his sleek moves.
