shit mega long since i updated. ill start from where i left off
Week 6
wednesday went to Tanglin for RE, managed to pon Muster Parade once again. I just love Mrs Povil's timetable. Act was Mini Olympics Part 2, played soccer and frisbee, last for frisbee, soccer got we played until 3rd 4th placing then playoffs postponed cos not enough time.
saturday: went to meet tsui chuan from NAS for RE, then went to Tanglin to do the ropes and see the extension scouts, then went to MacRitchie for a recce. started at the northeast side, went all the way to the treetop walk, then went to Rifle Range Road. The walk itself was really foam, pretty tired and i was sweating like a pig as usual. Then the hike was to end for the extension scouts and rifle range road where a bus would pick them up, so for us we had to walk all the way out on saturday. Then we were very degen and wanted either a taxi/alvin's miracle/hiok's chauffeur-aka-mum. hiok's mum didnt know the place, so it was left with taxi and alvin's miracle. put them together, you get a taxi driving along the road out of nowhere. =) went to j8 and ate lunch then went home after that.
sunday: went out for lunch and also to get myself a new phone (yippeee). after lunch my mum went to shop for some stuff, then as we walking to a nearby building to get my phone, this lady approached us (me my dad and my mum) and asked us to do a quick survey. she said it would only take 5 minutes. sure enough, the survery was really quick, like 1 minute. after that she gave us 2 scratch cards and it was some lucky draw thing. my mum scratched hers, got a $50 takashimaya voucher. i scratched mine, got some grand prize thing. can either get $1000, $1000 off a vacation or $1000 worth camcorder. Cant choose what you want, its already preselt per card. so before you can find out which prize you get and before you can claim it, you have to *surprisesurprise* listen to a travel agency talk! HOORAY AND TO THINK WE WERE TOLD ONLY 5 MINUTES! went to that stupid place, listened to the person talk for like 2 hours even though they only told us it would last 75 minutes. it was about some package thing that will give a lot of discounts to future holidays. but the catch: it costs $35k for a lifetime signup. so we didnt want it, got our prize of $50 voucher and as you can guess, $1000 off a holiday. total waste of time, at least there was the $50.
went to get my phone next. Went to the m1 shop, found the Omnia, payed and all that, got it and went home. Played with it all the way back. went back at like 6+, too late for jogging so it got moved to tuesday once again.
Week 7
Monday: QM session, moved all the stuff from den to the storage area. cleaned the den, cleaned the stuff, then put everything inside the storage area, to be continued on wednesday.
Tuesday: assembly program was house meeting, watched ocean's 11 and talked with 2g people for most of it. nothing on after that, so went home early. days like this are good. but had to rush chinese website which was due on friday. went jogging, 8km
wednesday: RE didnt do much. act was QM session part 2. was supposed to be junior leadership, but a lot of people had match support so it was postponed and replaced with QM session. had a 1 hr group PT session, then QM session for 15 minutes and we were dismissed. went home, signed up for dmp, the thing screwed up a bit and i ended up with 60/42 hours. thanks. chionged chinese website until like 1.30am
thursday: after school went to look for bill tang to solve the DMP stuff. in the end i got 42 hours which includes 18 hours of RLP, so only got 24 hours of modules. 12 hours for history games, 12 hours for 2 PE modules, nutrition and injury. went to watch 881 after that, left once i completed the worksheet and the main story was over. didnt really get the story cos most of it was in hokkien. went to the library to do some chinese website stuff, then went home and chionged it all the way till 1.30am again.
friday: ndp celebration. what can i say, just the same stuffs as usual. songs, quiz, performance. ended at like 10, then i went home. did some stuff with my phone, like new applications and all that. then went to take a nap from like 1 to 6 to make up for the loss past few days. went to eat at botak jones then went home for the olympics opening.
rest of the week nothing much. had some virus in the comp cos i downloaded something wrong. watched a lot of olympics, took a lot of naps. went running yesterday, but stopped cos of stomachache. it really sucks to shit when you are all sweaty.
going to be at boarding in a few hours time. im gonna miss home a lot

saturday
one week since i last updated. quite a bit happened as usual. i have such a colourful life.
school was the same; boring. monday had racial harmony day celebration and all i remembered was ted waving his arms in the air and for a couple of days after that he keep getting suaned. then tuesday had free period for PE cos it got swapped with monday and we couldnt do PE at the 5th period and Mr Quek also wasnt in school. Wednesday's RE was a lecture at first then meeting Ms Goh after that. Continued with RE until like 5+ as we didnt have act cos of mini olympics on saturday. Felt quite enthu and upbeat about RE after wednesday, but sort of died down now. Going to meet Mrs Povil on Wednesday for RE (pon muster parade). Thursday didnt have anything special, did ropes and we finished it. Friday was really cool, 1 free period and went home straightttt after school ended. First time this year if im not wrong. yup i didnt go df. yup i didnt support morrison. yup i heard it sucked so i am happy i didnt go. sorry haozhi =D
saturday was a mega long day, out from 6.45am to 9.30pm. First we had mini olympics from 8-1. We reported at RJC track as the den was being renovated, and as you should have guessed, it was the track events first. Had a short PT session before that, with a short jog, short pull ups, short phantom chair, and short abs exercise. Events were: 100m, 200m, 400m were all to be ran by 1 sec 1,2 and 3 from each patrol. For 100m, Wesley (3rd), Kevin (1st) and I (3rd) ran. 200m, Haixiao (cant remember), Kevin (1st) and Tak Wei (cant remember). 400m, Haixiao (1st), Ming E (cant remember), Jack (1st doh). Then there was 4x100m, Tak Wei, Kevin, Wesley and I ran. We got 3rd, narrowly losing out to kingfisher even though their last runner ran first. Then for 800m, Ming E ran and got 2nd, losing to Sup. 1.6km was cancelled, so Ziwei and Jack ran 2.4km. Jack got 1st, while junjie got 0. jj timing was 9.53, jack was 9.51.
after that we had tennis/badminton. it was played like this: badminton in the hall, tennis in the court (what else). badminton had the doubles first (or single in Falcon's case) while tennis was singles first. For tennis it was split into East and West, and the 3 patrols in each team play against each other first. Then, there was the 3 matches for 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 placing. Singles I played for Falcon. Up against Sup first, lost. Then straightaway next game up against Eashwar, lost. So that meant we were either 5 or 6. Went to the hall to have a look, Tak Wei and Daryl were playing for 1st and 2nd placing against KF. Actually it was just Tak Wei solo-ing the whole thing, and he won. Then went back to play 5-6 placing, and won Kestrel cos they didnt know how to play at all. Right after that game was the doubles, Jack joined me. Same thing happened, lost to both owl and kf again. and won kestrel again for 5th place. for badminton singles we got 4th, tak wei losing to alvin. so overall for tennis and badminton was: 5th, 5th, 4th, 1st
by now it was 12.20, and the RLP briefing was over already. o well missed it, nothing much anyway. then we had basketball. same 2 team concept, just that our team was now Kestrel, Hawk and Falcon. Other side was Eagle, Owl and KF. So first match was F vs K, we won. Then K vs H, H won. Then H vs F, we lost. Hiok/Hawk just too imba, with edmund and his spasm movements that scared everyone away.
then for finals it was hawk vs owl. guess the results....
hawk got first...runners up. even though hawk had imba teamwork, sup was just too imba. 2 consecutive goals, and 1 3 pointer. sup dam funny when he play, see edmund then very scared and dribble the ball away. but ya owl deserved to win. oh ya btw they had 5 people for the whole mini olympics. imagine the track events lol.
after mini olympics, went to kfc and dabao shrooms burger meal with cheese fries, then went to watch Dark Knight with Fancis and Zhong Jun, 2-4.40. Quite sad only 3 people, all the rest were influenced by Alvin and watched already. quite a nice show, joker dam funny/cruel. wanna know how he got his scars? watch the movie then!
after the movie we went around looking for the shop that sells PE attire, then i bought a pants. <3 the pockets. then went to HQ to get a woggle, and took 55 to my cousin's house. was the 2nd death anniversary of their grandmother, went to pay respect. stayed there from 6-9+ then went home after that. the fake house was super big, and super ex, like 10k for a house that was going to get burnt. overall the whole thing costs like 30k. why give the 30k only when shes dead, not when she was still alive?
sunday didnt go jogging, legs were aching from mini olympics. today was sian, school was boring and there was the chinese CCT which i think i will do badly again. just hope i wont fail, again. act was also boring, Patrol Meeting. They should just rename it to SU Sailmakers' Whipping; everyone was just spamming that. Went home after that.
Tomorrow will have Chem OBA, think it will be as difficult as the previous one. Gonna jog tmr, to make up for sunday's slack.

10km run
just did the longest run ever done, around 10km in 1:08:32. Never stopped at all in that 1 hour and 8 minutes, very proud of myself for even completing it. Although im still 8 and a half minutes off my goal time, pretty sure i can make it with 5 more weeks to train. oh ya and my shirt and pants were totally wet. normally the shirt and the back of my pants will be totally soaked, but today the back and front of my pants were wet as well, then looked like i peed on it so whenever i run past anyone i sprint so they cannot see it =D
today had the first aid thing for the special olympics event. reached school at about 7.20 and lala-ed with zhongjun all the way till 12.30. for most part of it we just sat at the canteen and i spammed knots while zhongjun spammed gameboy/knots. i was mugging for tomorrow's test taking, quite sure i will pass after spending like 4 hours doing knots. did not have much people come to us for first aid, just 2 people. 1 had a cut which zhongjun treated, and the other had a cramp and i had to massage for him. pretty sick but, o well.
exactly 5 more weeks to go, and in about 2 weeks ill be in boarding i think. wonder how it will be like there.

NYAA
today was nyaa and here are some things for recording purposes
duration: 3.30-5.00
attendance: kenneth, alvin, anurak, suphasak, zhong jun, joel, amos
things done: started with doing 3 sets with 10 pullups, 30 pushups, 20 situps then moved on to 40 ipu, 50, then 60. this part was called phoenix pt, cos we are meant to die after doing it or something like that. the real phoenix pt is something like 10 sets of the earlier thing, then 40 ipu, 50, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10. something like that, also not too sure. this was the canoe PT session, of course without stuff like running and sphinx. then after that did A SHORT PART of rugby training, henny millers or something. what we did was run the length of the field, then diagonal, then length, then diagonal back to the start point in 2 minutes. the full thing is 2 sets of 27 minutes of something like that. i think we would be doing 1 set of the full thing next session, which should be next saturday. im dreading it =s
then after that got 02 campfire. wasnt even a campfire just a performance. i would say performance by 02 scouts, cos more than half of the performances were by other people. to all the 02 folks reading this, sorry but it was a real failure campfire. i dont think its meant to be a campfire anyway, so you guys should be ok with me saying this, right? timeline was something like this:
1. opening of campfire by DHM Mr Kenneth Kwok
2. introduction to the storyline about a time machine called iMagine
3. suan jack about something
4. performance
5. suan jack about something else
6. performance
7. suan jack about yet another thing
8. engrossed with chu yong's performance and slept at 02's hiphop dance
9. you can guess this part
10. clap when it was over
11. refreshments!
12. go home
and then after that jeremy once again needed me to call people. lazy to call and waste more money, so smsed instead. something about a carnival on sunday from 6.30 to 12 which needed first aid ready people on standby for some emergency or something. needed 6 people. supposed to tell him by tonight the names, but right now only can confirm 2. o well i dont want to go as well la 6.30...
