Tis' the middle of Alevels.... lalala

I think I am officially lazy and screwed up... not that you guys didn't know it before...just that now it's official...it lends an extra weight of importance to it (just a smidgen, mind)... So I'm in the middle of my A-levels... really...smack dab...like equal amounts of papers sitting before and after me...and what do I do? Watch Stardust at 10pm on a weekday....wtf... mind you, 2 of my other friends were just as crazy as me (nearly missed the last bus back...but oh is the movie great)... The only difference is that post-stardust, they've started studying again...while I am...blogging...reading blogs... and watching horrible youtube renditions by one steven lim of Singapore Idol (In)fame... the purpose of this post? Just another attempt at escapism to postpone my reading of econs... And the worst part.... I'm not even worried... Gosh I'm sick! (Ironically, I'm worried about not being worried...like meta-meta worry)....ahh...lunch time...another morning wasted... *pop*

5S1 reunion 2007

Saturday, 1st Sept 2007 - night (say start around 7-ish?)
Potbless Dinner @ Timothy's house

(directions will be given later after everything's 100% confirmed)

We're having POTBLESS. Means EVERYONE has to bring SOMETHING so that we can ALL have ENOUGH food to eat.

To make sure no one brings the same food, we're probably gonna delegate instead of going on a voluntary basis. So do confirm your attendance quick so that we can plan everything efficiently and quickly!!!

Confirm with me by the following means:
Flo

or anywhere visible on this blog.

(SOK KENG! YEN TINK! ANYONE EXPERIENCED IN LOGISTICS! Can help me with the estimation? I'm scared I underestimate or overestimate the amount of food and drinks... Haven't organised big-scale meals in a long time!)

Last but not least, thank you all for your kind responses so far. I've gotten responses from almost everybody (with the exception of these people):

YinShean, CherHui, KaiJun, Patrick, KiaSheng.

Weiiii... Friends out there! Make sure your fellow 5S1-ers know, man. Our goal is to make this event a success, remember?

Sooooooooo,

Together, let's make this a success!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

It's time to reunite!

Heya, people!

So everyone who's leaving will be leaving soon.
So everyone's gonna miss everybody.



...So we gotta meet up.

5S1 reunion 2007

Suggestions so far:

Dates available:

C) Saturday, 1st Sept 2007 - noon / night
D) Sunday, 2nd Sept 2007 - noon / night

(We'll plan around these dates first. If most can't make it, we'll push it towards September. But hopefully everyone can make it lah. Otherwise reunion tak syok wei!!!)

Ideas of venue & agenda:

A) Potbless @ your house???
We promise to prepare & clean up & take out the trash at the end of the day! We also promise not to kill each other within your premises. Promise!
(Further suggestion was that we play boardgames / cards)

If your parents allow us to use your house, pls contact Flo (0162480088).

B) Picnic @ some park???
(Further suggestion was the Lake Gardens.)

C) Mid Valley -.-;;
(This is just a back-up plan... A lot of people are a bit sick & tired of the same old, same old...)

D) Ice-skating @ Sunway Pyramid

E) Just meet up at CHS & go for Chicken Rice.

Yep. Leave comments here to make your choices, or scream out your views in the chatterbox beside, or send me a msg.

Together, let's make this a success!!!

Okay, that sounded corny. But really la. It's really tough to cook up a reunion unless people reply.

So...

Together, let's make this a success!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)



P.S. When are you Singaporean fellas coming back? And when is everyone flying off? If we know more details we can maximise attendance & the faces we get to meet again.

============================

LOOK OUT FOR UPDATES ON THIS EVENT HERE!

1) Everyone okay with the 2nd Sept? If we're doing potbless, most likely it'll be in the evening.

2) People who have not responded yet...

RachaelTeh, CheaMing, WernChiet, KianWah, ShuHaur, ChunWei, Caleb.

3) People I have no idea how to reach... those who have them on MSN (I've not been online for a very long time) or their phone numbers, please please please help to pass them the message... I'd sms everyone and do the follow up, but it's really expensive for me to do it alone!

HuaChu, YinShean, SueBee, WenChee, WinJean, SueLynn, ThngHuei, CherHui, BinYun, LiSian, XinNi, Jordan, WeiHao, MeiWen, KaiJun, PatrickChia, WengSoon, HoMeng, KiaSheng.

4) We're hoping to be able to use Yen Tink's old house. It'll be good cos there's a park nearby so if we wanna play games (Do we wanna play games? SUGGESTIONS, PLEASE?) we can use the park. My house is really much smaller than hers, supposing everyone turns up, we'd be banging into each other constantly, which is not really a good idea for those who are claustrophobic)

LATEST UPDATE: A million gazillion thanks to Tim who has allowed us to use his house, too! (Claustrophobics, you guys can stop holding your breath now.)

5) I need help! Especially if it's gonna be a potbless thing. Anyone free to help me (as in organizing)? Pretty please with cherries and marshmallows and gummy bears laden with cream and sugar and cinnamon on top? Please mail/sms/call me! I'll be eternally grateful.

6) Hope to see you guys there! Wherever it happens! Lol...

Should we move to Facebook???

Hey, guys... I'm wondering whether we should shift our "class blog" to a "class network/page" on www.facebook.com

Not sure how many people still come here, but as long as I get 5 yes-es, I'll just veto this suggestion. :-P

It'll be easier to get updates on how we're all doing on Facebook. If blogs are 2-D, Facebook is like, 6-D or something. Friendster is a measly 3-D.

(Am I not making sense here?)

Oh, yeah... and it'll be LOTS easier to maintain. I bet those who have Facebook log into their Facebooks a thousand times more often than popping by this site.

So, yeah. 5 yes-es, and we'll shift.

Have a nice day.

Mid Valley Gathering

One Year After SPM

Can't believe its actually one year after SPM..

Today my friend and I were feeling bored so we browsed through our friendster's friends' photos.. and he showed me pictures of his friends which he said has "turned bad".

This got me thinking..
What did i turn into in this 1 year in Singapore?
Have i changed??
well..i honestly dun know..if u ask me i would say that i haven changed...maybe junior colleges in Singapore ins't conducive to change..because we still pretty much operate in the "school atmosphere" though i certainly learnt a thing of two in my one year in Singapore..

To me, a lot of ppl haven changed a bit since last year...
like Yen Tink...haha especially Yen Tink...I thought after a year in Taylors maybe she would have a boyfriend...lol..Win Jean, Chun Wei, Zhen Yuan...
haha all haven changed...

And a lot of ppl have changed too..
like Wei Kean..
haha..he seriously suddenly become very different from wat i know..lol

Well..so here is my question to everyone..
who do u think have changed a lot in this 1 year??

I'm back!!!

Hey, guys... I'm finally back after being away for so long. :D

...and it seems pretty quiet over here.

Anyway, I wanted to write out this incident for sometime now:

Well, see, early this year we had to do the food test experiment for Bio. The most interesting food test was the iodine test for lipids. We were supposed to drop, specifically stated in the question, 15 drops (3 by 5) of iodine solution onto a white tile. Well, whaddayouknow... we practically filled the whole surface of the tile with about 30 drops, so much that a little jerk would cause all of the drops to combine to form a puddle of yellowish aqueous goo in the middle of the tile.

Right. Next we mixed the enzymes and substrates together, started the stopwatch and here we go... testing the mixture for ... *something*.

"Eh, is this blue colour, arr?"
"I think this is blue la... I see my tile got black spots."
"Apasal tak dapat ni?"
"Man! I don't have enough iodine drops! Ish... Have to restart all over again."
"Haaah... How come yours took 5 minutes only? Mine already pass 15 minutes, still no result!"

And the phrase of the day was...

"You mean we're supposed to do it until it remains yellow? No wonder I never got blue colour!!!"

:P

__________________________________________

I'm so happy AS is over... but only to be reminded that A2 is here to stay for 6 months. I wonder if I'll have time for anything besides studying after my hols. (Oh, I'll be here until Sun next week. Loveaduck.)

You know what's scary? How everything's flying past me so fast I'm left breathless without having a chance to recuperate before another gust of time blows me away to another zone. I just met my neighbours 2 days before.

I couldn't recognise my neighbour's youngest sister. All the once-midgets along my row of houses have turned into young ladies and men overnight.

That made me think a little: I wonder - over this period of a year leaving school - how much have I changed? How much have you guys changed? When we meet up years from now, would we still be able to engage in conversation and understand each other without hedges growing in between - not because we failed to keep in touch, but because we don't have anything in common left behind for us to build back our once-strong friendships on?

When I left my primary school, I kept looking back fondly at memories shared with friends: friends who scrawled FRIENDS FOREVER on my autograph book, friends who I grew up and shared secrets with, friends I didn't want to lose, but constantly called and wrote to, so as to maintain the comradeship. I thought that primary school would be this era stucked forever in my memory, something I would never be able to replace or run away from.

But now, 7 years ago seems so distant. Meaningful and precious, but still a mere collection of memories. Of all the primary friends I've been acquainted with, I still keep in touch with only a few. The others have just... disappeared. Maybe it is my fault that I didn't maintain contact with them. Maybe we just grew up. Maybe it's just the way things were meant to be.

Years have passed, and many of them have changed. It's this weird feeling - you know they're still them, but in a way, you no longer know them.

I think college has changed me. It has definitely (and drastically) altered my perception about life, and made me think harder. When you see me today, I'm not sure if I'll act like the same person you knew a year ago. I may be more sceptical, more rational (and we all know rationality leads to over-evaluation half the time), more mature. But then again, I might be more wary, not trusting anyone because I know how faulty the human being can be, more experienced on putting on a mask to hide all my thoughts beneath what people can decipher from the surface.

But then, you might have changed, too. Most of us (well, not me) might have different interests and priorities now *hint hint*. (And, believe me, relationship does change mindsets - either for better or worse. I should know.) Most of us may have physically changed and our tastes in fashion, music, lifestyle may heavily influence the way we think and act, when we're away from our turqoise pinafores and navy green trousers and rules and school bells.

Personally, I don't like the idea of growing up. Primarily because it means we have to face consequences to our actions. We are on our own now, no longer shielded by our parents (to a certain extent) or a knitted-community (school). We are individuals. We are adults. Makes me long for the old days where responsibility is measured by the homework we hand in.

Sometimes, I have this gnawing sadness within me - that one day we might not be able to come together as friends, but only as schoolmates... only as people with once-common background. Sometimes, I wonder if I'll remember and be remembered. Sometimes, I wonder if I'll ever see some of you guys again in this lifetime, or will we merely remain as people who shared a photograph and a classroom with.

They say distance makes a heart grow fonder. Until now, when I think of my days as a 5S1-er, tears fill my eyes, as I yearn for the memories I left behind and the joy I accumulated in the limited pages of my journal which snatch me back into reminiscence readily.

I hope we haven't changed... too much.

Missing you guys.

Something to share...

Nth to do guys ? Bored ? Well take time out to read my post at http://sui-yuan.blogspot.com.

I'm sure u guys will learn a thing or two.

Cheers

You probably don't wanna read this...

What's with sexual innuendo these days? A PSA campaign in the USA called "Women's Voices. Women's Votes" is getting female celebrities to tell people about "the first time they did it" to get apathetic voters to the polling stations...Some say it's empowering, while others... In any case, I sat down to think about it but instead of coming up with a moral hypothesis on the whole issue, I got attacked by a disturbing bout of creativity...normally i wouldn't post something like this but an idle blog is the 21st century's devil's playground.

A NASTY SCRIPT

TAKE 1

The scene is a park...a beautiful park...green...with a non hazy azure sky hanging lazily above it...in walks boy and girl, who are in turn walking their dogs...

BOY: Hey, my dog kinda likes your dog...

GIRL: Aww...How sweet..

BOY: You know, Confucious he says, anything my dog likes is good enough for me.

GIRL: Are you saying you wanna hump my dog?

BOY: Hmmm...it is quite..(realises he is speaking his thoughts out aloud and glances hurriedly at girl)...er...NO...definitely NO!

GIRL: Stop petting my dog mister...

CUT

.......................................................................................................................................

TAKE 2

BOY: Hey, your dog kinda likes my dog...

GIRL: My dog's gay.

BOY: Well so is mine, except that he's also a transexual.

GIRL: You mean a gay dog trapped in a female's body?

BOY: It is rather complicated isn't it?

GIRL: Wow...that must be a real bitch...

BOY: You don't say....

(Both stare at their complicated dogs for awhile)

BOY: Say, you free this Saturday?

GIRL: Dinner and Movie?

BOY: 6 o' clock then and it's a deal....

GIRL: Deal...

BOY: Is your dog really gay?

GIRL: No.

BOY: Oh ****
