Why can't they just make a pill containing all the knowledge we need in life?

I am not sure why I am blogging, I have an E maths test tomorrow, and most probably a History test as well (sometimes, I wish I was born in the Stone age, no history class!). I have to sleep before 12, otherwise I have to go through the Caffeine version of the Waterboarding torture :P

Today......was okay, I almost 'kena' quarantine due to my sinuses and blew another hole in my pocket by buying from that newly opened Good News Cafe in school for the second time, but it IS BETTER than the usual canteen fare. Lessons were not really boring, but we did alot of revision, plus Mr Angulia was quarantined, so we SLACKED:) during Pure Geog.

Today's Squad rehearsal for the Farewell party was okay, we managed to add in a few more moves (Okay, not we, but Sariza and Shan Leong) and fooled around with the Electric Keyboard (WTH did they install the machine gun and Fireworks mode in?). Are Arif and Seng Wei fans of street fighter, I guess so, since they kept sparring each other in the Music room all the time.

I had to leave early for Add Maths tuition, bloody hell, but it was quite.....fun? Mr Ng praised me for no reason at all (I feel damn 'sehboh' (Extra) sia). Nvm, i just hope Yan Zhong gets discharged soon, why must he get H1N1? So damn lucky (I think...).

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll: Experienced all but the 1st two.

Doing my Pure Geog homework now, at the last question (Finally, after 15 over hours, why am I so easily distracted?).

Today, was B.O.R.I.N.G! I was supposed to go for some rehearsal (for the Farewell party) & before I left the house, I called Sariza (got a missed call from her), (and to summarize everything) she said it was cancelled. WTH, I missed my chance to get my Nerf Recon from Matin today just to go for this. I tried texting him, maybe I could go to his place today, but NO, he has matters to attend to. No wonder my life is in such a mess, I cannot even keep to my schedule.

After that, I tried to multi-task (surfing the Net and Pure geog, not a very good mix), which was DUMB! I only managed to do 4 questions after 5 freaking hours. Nvm about that, after (almost) finishing my Pure Geog, I went for Chinese tuition (after playing my 360 or an hour or so), only to find the centre closing for the day, COME ON! Why is my day so chronologically WRONG!

To make it worse, I found out yesterday that the ASEAN homestay thingy was cancelled, WTH! I spent over $100 in Levi Strauss Signature and Hush puppies, ARGH! At least I've got more time for NPCC now....

I better stop blogging now, I still have tons of homework to finish, with so little time left.

I am fatigued, sick and absent for the Sgt Test, WTH?!

I just came back from camp yesterday, it was quite fun and enlightening (Other than the fact that I dropped my Cellphone, screwed up my assessments, being labelled one of the most disappointing batch of NCO-not, CLs- ,did not have enough sleep and much more...). We came to know our squadmates more, know more about the CIs and learn new skills. (Like radio communications, SWEET!) I slept for more than 5 hours after that, and did some last minute cramming for the Sergeant Test the next day, some help it was....

Today, I woke up with a headache (With a capital H) and a blocked nose, which means I am not allowed to go for the test. (thanks to the H1N1 strain) I had to go and see a doctor, get a MC and go back to sleep. I must apologise to my squadmates for not being able to make it for the test together with them, they must be hating me right now..... I just hope I can still go for the test, not to mention the fact that I missed out on the POP training that goes along with it.

I still have to go for some SANA course tomorrow, got to find out about the details. I have not even touched my homework yet.

Camp, is it good or BAD?!

I've got to prepare for the NCO camp tomorrow, DAMN! I am in one of the campcraft groups and I hardly know anything about it, ARGH!!!! I just hope the other group members are doing something about it (if that is true, I am dumbstruck). Got to polish my boots, revise my campcraft and comfirm my packing list, sometimes I have the feeling that NPCC is NOT my calling, but that is what I call cowardice. Just wish me luck (by that I want you to pray HARD!!!).

Stop spamming Xun Jie, and you do not have a website.

I am not sure how to start this entry, but is there a need to? Forget it.

The NCO camp on Monday was fun, although there were SOME...unfortunate incidents which dampened our mood. Besides, I busted a quarter of my pocket money on that day. It was one of the few times that I got to see Eric Sir being the friendly CI that our NCOs said he was. Not sure about the 'OUCH!' (literally) game though......

The next day, I met April during her lunch break (Yes, she is working there for her WEP) outside the Science Centre. She gave me a brief but enjoyable tour (I finally found i-space after 6 gruelling months!), before she had to go back to work at the entrance. After checking out some exhibits and getting lost, I left, not before buying some space ice-cream (melts in your mouth...after a while)

Afterwards, I went to the library near the Science Centre which was HUGE! So huge that it even need escalators, plus I got some info from the S.C that it contained around 500 000 bookssssssss-(Author fainted). Never mind about that pathetic joke I just made, I managed to get some Harry Turtledove books, but after a huge dilemma, I borrowed one instead, i do not think I have time for 3 thick novels.

On Wednesday, we cleaned up the NP room, now neater than it was 2 days ago. After that, damn....I forgot what I wanted to type.

Never mind about my short term memory, today....we had another meeting about the Farewell Party performance and some other things. Plus, the whiteboard in the NP room is cleaner than ever. Then, the squad went to Tampines mall to buy a wallet for Haziq sir. After which, we sat down on the floor and discussed about the Farewell party performance, and where to rehearse. In the end, we managed to finish up the formation we were going to have for our performance and the location to rehearse for it. Some of my squadmates dragged me to Tampines 1, which was not as crowded as Tampines Mall. The trip there to find the racks for the NP room was a CWOT (Complete waste of time), we did not made any headway before I left for home. At home, I found out that in going to the Mall, I missed my Add Maths tution and my mother is not really happy about it. Anyway, I have to prepare for my NCO Camp, I am in campcraft, and I hardly know ANYTHING about it!

lolololololol....that was a waste of pride and pixels.

Today's Bazaar, compared to last year, WAS A FREAKING SUCCESS! Well, I thought it was anyway.... Even though I was all sweaty (there were salt stains all over my unit tee, caused by evaporating sweat), I had fun, along with my squad. Our business was quite brisk, with Jun Liang (Sir)'s and Kenneth's magic (loved by Mr Boo, SCORE!!!), plus the drinks stall operated by the sec 1s (Marc and Terrence) and a sec 2 (Tian Mu (same height as the sec 1s though...) after we handed 'command' over to them. Let's just hope the rent, 7% GST and Tax do not take too big a bite out of our profits.

We managed to do some exploration, I went to the haunted house at the AVA for the 1st time (mainly for the air-con). It was not really scary, especially when we ridiculed the 'ghosts', (some of my friends' screams in there probably scared the 'ghosts' instead of vice versa) maybe if the Haunted house was of the same quality as the one in Escape theme park, we might have the nerves. The food there was well...satisfying, but they are made by people like me so I cannot be too much of a critic. I just wished there wasn't a sufferer of megalomania in our midst...

When I got home, quote" My feet are DEAD!" I finally knew what April faced working in the Science Centre. I just wanted to strip all my dirty clothes and dive into a private swimming pool. A shower was not really what I had in mind.....

Going to have a 1 day NCO camp on monday, I really need to prepare for it tomorrow. When will fate give me a break?

Smith & Wesson, you failed me! And I think the normal sized font is good enough for me.

Well....yesterday's shooting competition was crap, our turn was delayed by 3 hours, at least we got to have lunch in the Home Team Academy Cafe, at a discounted price! (The stall owners actually mistook us for HTA staff in our NPCC uniforms, a freeloader's dream.........)

The shooting itself, was a total [expletive deleted] up! All the talk about 1st action, 2nd action....all gone to waste! As soon as I pulled the trigger-"BANG!"-I could not even aim properly. The time limit sucks, but they had to throw it out because the revolvers kept jamming, even the lessons did not help, not when you cannot even open the cylinder! Now I do not feel safe anymore, unless I see a policeman nearby who is armed with a Taser rather than the usual ("Good old Mr Reliable (Really? I beg to ****ing differ)") Revolver.

Enough about that....after shooting, we marched back to our bus, got back to school & met up with Bhalaji. After that, we went to Bedok Interchange and hung out at the Macdonalds nearby (Some people in my squad ought to worship the restaurant) before heading to the library and got to work on the farewell party, hopefully my potato salad would be edible at the very least.

When I told some of my Squadmates that I might not be able to make it for the Party because I have to host an ASEAN student, some of them looked as me as if I had just killed Big Bird with a BB gun. What is the matter with them?. I know "CCA comes 1st", but if you think that I signed up for this because of the CIP hours I will get or because I can miss my NPCC trainings, well, I beg to differ. If you still violently object, well, I have nothing to say, because IT WILL BE A WASTE OF FOOD! At least I did something that was on my Bucket List.

Now I have to do some 'homework', urgh...physics....but hopefully I can go to the science centre tomorrow. Scrap that, i need to make another Farewell Video, WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD, oh yeah, a lot.....
