one year on...

With the rate of responses/entries to this blog, sometimes I do wonder if anyone actually knows of its existence. But I saw some 26ths today and they remarked about my entries in the blog so at least I know that there are still people around who reads my nonsense :>

A week on a year ago, I was at pre-departure/Uk bound at Suntec city. Unfamiliar faces of the seniors, new freshers, or just generally people going to UK from all over, boring talks, freebies up for grabs... and I know I am about to move on to a new big stage of life, where everything will be so different from the comfort of the council rm ( which till this day, has thankfully retained its charm :)

After UK bound that day, I went for rag day! it's nice to be a crasher, seeing people that I always see and feeling happy about seeing them. some councilors and ppl i know were involved in medicine dance so it was quite funny seeing them all painted up etc. ended off e day with taking pictures with soem of them..

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed

I went for UK bound today, as a more experienced 2nd-year-to-be, with my 35 copies of the freshers guide to oxford. seeing people coming up, introducing themselves, asking the funniest qns, trying to be as frenly and nice as i possibly could, playing a fool and rating the girls (:P). Not much has changed, has it?

I doubt e 25ths can ever expect another Josie-planned-trip to Tioman, that's one thing for sure. All the enthusiasm about organizing council gatherings, about mass meeting ups, soccer games, begging ppl to turn up, lol, i m afraid I don't have much of that left. Maybe it';s because I am tired, maybe because I am sian, or maybe because I have lost the passion. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the 25ths on makan noobs two, altho e driving was quite tiring. I am looking forward to charles or gh organizing another gathering when I m back in a week's time. I enjoyed my soccer game and couldnt stop laughing when gh smashed the ball against the post at least 5 times. all these moments will always be special to me :)

but somehow, mabe I am resigned, resigned to the fact that many ppl have moved on in life, and when ppl move on in life, things of the past become memories, beautiful memories, but no more than that, not smthing tt they hope to retain and make it seem as though nothing's changed, tt life is as it was, outside the council rm in e mornings where everyone gathers for a nice chat before going to class, outside the council rm again in the afternn after sch where we do random things there..

Perhaps i was too free over the 10 mths of break, that I tried to act as though leaving JC jus means a physical separation from school.

1 year on, I know that my friends have moved on iin life, without me, and I should move on in life, and stop looking back to the past... because i did throughout my time there, as much as I could, with the emails back, and now i realize, i prob wont have e energy to sustain that, or that all tt is left of council, is a gathering once in a while, when I am back hopefully :)

hao2 ma3 bu4 chi1 hui2 tou2 chao3

perhaps not the right way to use the chinese phrase, but it's time to move on, and I think i have... but as ur welfare head (:P), wherever u r, if u r feeling down, welfare's here for u! :)

Monday, June 02, 2008

just thought i will say hi to the ppl back home or all around the world and tt i miss u guys :) and i cant wait for my ego to inflate when i go back in july...

OK I M SERIOUSLY KIDDING OK! ha oh wells, i shall b humble and ask ppl out when i go back rather than making egoistical statements and incur denise's wrath graaaarrrrr

and yeah, to all those in europe, hope u r safe n sound n havign fun :) i wish i can b holidaying now too! for now, it's bed time! 2am le.

hai.. i will b back most prob on 9 july, n i hope to see as many of u guys as soon as i can, u shd know who u r :)

till then, take care and god bless :)

28th Council Investiture

Today was the 28th Council Investiture! Girls: Xin, Amy, Amanda, Kangya Guys: Me, Koo, Guanghao, Yowie, Ilman (for a while), Bto, Kwan, Abhi my favourite indian, Datou. 13/52! That's 1/4 of the council, which is pretty impressive. I realised the sudden increase in guys this year compared to last year (if any, aherm, Josie) because we were all stuck in army. Its no surprise then that amongst the 26ths only Iwan, Jun How Alvin could make it out. The rest of the 26ths were girls.

Anyway highlights of the investiture:

1. The company of your fellow 25ths!
2. Seeing the council teachers Ms Ong and Ms Hor and various juniors.
3. Listening to the "investiture" version of the investiture song, which is different from that on youtube. And seeing the co-composer in person haha.
4. Taking the council oath again even though we've a vague impression of half the words. Can you remember the peak of our council oath prowess on the rooftop 3 years ago?
5. Singing the college anthem
6. Doing random school cheers to get high.
7. Eating free food at the reception at the amphitheatre! :D:D:D
8. Crashing of the Hodge Lodge. I tell you it is an amazing place!!!
9. Jacking Josie even though he wasn't around (oh but he is! haha, check out your facebook soon.)
10. Admiring Abhi's swanky cool, flowing locks.
11. Sitting Yowie's car to J8. (Applies to me, datou and gh and obviously yowie only)


Meeting outside the council room




Before everything starts...


Our new Raffles Mascot! :D








27ths Batch video


28ths batch song


27ths. half of the 28ths went to match support...










Vending machine which sells fruits and vegetables?! Must be some healthy lifestyle campaign thingy.


Free food at the reception.


Playstation anyone?


Mini movie theatre. The show "Little Britian" was really retarded but funny nevertheless.


Karaoke?


In our time, we had board games. Now with karaoke, wii, playstation and a movie theatre, they're sitting quitely at the corner... datou was very nostalgic about the stuff he bought.







In summary, it was a great outing! :) 25ths FTW. Though we aren't in RJ anymore, we sure had our fun times and are still having them! thanks everyone for a great day!

p.s. datou you have pics! pls post them here ok? :)

soccer/28th invest

heys. a few 25ths played soccer today at the RJ semi-d. Yowie, Lizhan, Chas, Matt, Koo, Guang Hao and Me. The aircon in the hall was good! :) We visited the hall because the 28ths were having investiture rehearsal.

Anyway we heard that the 24ths played soccer with the 28ths and the 26/7ths or something like that last saturday... where are we in all this?! We shall have inter-council challenges again mwahaha. And do what is right once and for all. :)

Invest is at 12.30pm on Wednesday, 7th May... Lets meet at say, 11.30am+? Then we can stone about and laugh at each other and visit the canteen vendors before invest. I don't know if everyone reads this so will spam the yahoogroups with the timing and the meeting timing. :)

a light at the end of the tunnel (a mini one :P)

I have finally figured out what the stupid rumors were about....

On 20 march, presumably the day when the first year medicine councilors ended their first bout of exams, josie aka me went to meet up with a grand total of 1 person. i mean, ONE PERSON. surprise surprise, it's a girl! wohooo! just one on one le. he's self declared chairman of her fan club somemore n he's plannign to take it international u know.... ok enuff of the nonsense, I asked one of my closest frens out becuz she, who happens to be our prom queen, was only free tt day and i was gg back to indon the next day. don't any of u stupid guys have close female frens huh?

And now for the origins of the rumors which i don knoe came out from where ( SCH u better justify urself), on that fateful day, I took the bus down to borders library because dearest zain was looking at books there (thankfully i didnt find her at anatomy section lol) and at borders I saw licia and amy and random ppl here n there! AHA!! so after 2 days of jacking (even coming from jerry my classmate!!! how the hell does such weird rumors spread? n even if it';s the case-which i will jus to prove my point the next tiem i come back, wads wrong? HAHA) I FINALLY FIGURED OUT that only askign the medicine girls out = seeing the girls in borders...

so.. the grand total of councilors i have met goes as follows (met means seeing for like 5 mins on the streets lol):

Girls: zain, licia, amy, dani, charmaine, xinling
boys: guanghao, jonny, matt, senthil, poon, charles, wesley

haha guess wad, guys beat girls! lol even i m impressed by myself.

haha anyway! round 2 aka final round of battle for medicine is next week, in which unfortunately i will noe be there to wish u guys good luck becuz i will be slogging it out back in the cold SNOWY (WTH LA i come back then it snowed there ><) city before coming back again in july, where we must have our council outings n soccer games ok? so yeah, i will ban myself from msn other than maybe my bday AHEM AHEM and yeah drop me a mail or facebk message if u r vbisiting me, which i know u idiots wont. sians. kk i m off to do some studyign haha take care ppl!

forgive and forget...

hello i think this blog has never seen such a flurry of activity and i think this will turn out to be a dialogue between 2 but i do hope not.

yes we shall be kind and forgive you la haha (i speak on behalf of the medicine guys who felt snubbed, especially on the 20th of march 2008)

have been thinking of organising one of those saturday morning soccer sessions as usual. but it'll have to be after the 17th of april and you'll have to still be in singapore! which you will have to confirm.

and to prove that this jacking game never ends...

"I have guai guio zi xin! (wait a min tt makes it sound like i m guilty but wadever la)" --> Its gai guo not guai guio! =P

A case for defence (a bigggggg casee)

OK let me start by saying this: I am sooo happy to see entries here! hahaha finally after maybe 10 times to clicking back to this site, i see an entry! :D:D:D hahaha ok as for my defence, and a bloody big one, I have met up with guanghao charmaine n xinling who bother to make e effort to meet me! Dr Sia, wad is the probability tt u will bother to meet me huh u r totally drowned in ur studies tt u prob don even knoe tt i m back before I sent u A MESSAGE! HA! DEFEND URSELF! haha n i have met kwan in church, meeting chas n hopefully matt after church, i have met senthil on a one-on-one date tooo! and opther than dat for the past 1.5 weeks, i have been an incredibly guai boy and been chauffeuring my parents arnd (and not getting excited over the p plate- in fact my 2nd sis got quite sian of the thing (my 5th sis uses it haha) tt she took off the triangle :P:P

Anyway i really hope tt the guys can meet up to play soccer, but what are the chances rite.. sigh see see I wanna meet up with the guys lor but u guys r just so busy n not want to meet me, what to do? hahaha and in college, i hang out with guys 100% of the time u know! even if got girls, it's a big grp le! I have guai guio zi xin! (wait a min tt makes it sound like i m guilty but wadever la) but u see, the moment i say this, u stupid idiots will go on the opposite extreme n jack me again, so why bother to defend myself against such blasphemy (ehh new vocab :P)

anyway as to all u muggers out there, i rmb abt 13 nus medicine students so to (starting from the guys) abhi bryon kwan hanloong jonny koo ced ilman sch zain xinyi amy licia (ok pls don kill me if i missed anyone by mistake) GOOD LUCK!!!! and special hi goes out to the ppl who will prob check this i.e KANGYA: too bad u r prob too busy to meet me but it's ok kbox is a must in july! to JUNLI: see u on sunday! to JUST (actually i m jus guessing becuz u posted smthing before haha): hope the next 4 weeks pass by sooon! to YOWIE: y did u run away to india???????? to WESLEY: hope army's not eaten u up too much! to DAtou: stop advertizing for ur agency all the time!

haha ok i m rambling. i m supposed to ahve slept at 633pm uk time i.e 133 am singapore time! if not i cant wake up tomo ><><) so yeah email me if u r free tho this time round I will be quite busy. if u r coming to oxf, which u stupid idiots wont >< loook for me :P i will have lunch with u! n if u r lucky, i will bring u to punting! that means rafting with a technique haha as long as u don fall into the waters i.e i collapse the raft, we shd be fine :P

yawns. ok good night.

Post 101

Yowie wrote the 100th post.

I was in school today, to play some soccer and I decided to walk around RJ and pop by the council room also. There were 2 people in it, people whom I didn't know but know now. Shu Ting and Genevieve, if that's how you spell their names. Today happened to be council camp dry run day and they were also settling council elections stuff. Council campaigning started last friday! Its going on next week too, so you can see groups of people putting up banners and destroying the school with posters.



Miss the days when we'd just hang around the council room doing nothing. You know, Hwa Chong has this students' council gathering thing organised by the current council. Its some event where all the councillors come together to meet up. As in many batches come together at once. I think its a swell idea. How can we lose out!! =)

Oh yes, council camp this year is from the 11th - 13th of April. It seems to have been pushed forward by one week compared to the past few years. (Two days before biochemistry!!! argh.)

To josie: rumour has it that you went out with the girl 25ths and not with the guys in when you were in Singapore!!! defend yourself.

Happy mugging my medicine friends, have fun at army to the guys and to the girls at school, um, happy mugging (includes josie).

=)

hahAHhaahHAhahahHHAHAH
happy happy happy day

anyway im flying to thailand tmr (or rather today in less than 12hrs time). n then going to taiwan a week after i come back from thailand. so sorry to josie if he wants to organise something when he returns cuz i doubt i'll be able to make it.

and to the guys out there. we all ord in less than a year :) more than halfway through army, some enjoying the last few months of being a teen, some already 20, some older :P but just wanted to say thanks to all of you who've made school such a wonderful place to be in with great ppl to hang out with :) ok dunno y so emo. haha. but wadeva la.

take care wherever you are and keep smiling :)

cheers.
