Date....time.....shit

Officially worked for the 1st time today. Although one can actually call it my duty as I was helping out my father, but I got paid $20 so I shall leave it at that. It was a 2 hour shift, in some guy's....friend's....home. (I know, weird right?) Backbreaking work that causes one to sweat, but for around $10/hr, it's not bad. My dad will be working again on Thursday, another opportunity to earn some $$$ I guess. (Gosh, I look like some stingy miserly faggot with those symbols) With many of my friends working, the temptation to join them is really great. I guess having a 10+ day holiday right smack in the middle of Dec is not very helpful for a job-seeker. Guess I will have to take up that teaching job my mother offered me, to teach the family "pig" geography. *Facepalm*

Hmm...great expectations do not seem to be a good thing after all.

Finally back from a long and tiring 3D2N class chalet ytd. It's fun...more or less. Sadly the attendance sucked. With around 20 ppl coming for the 1st night and less then 5 ppl left on the 3rd day (including me!), pathetic.

Yet, it was rather interesting and we really had some memorable times there. Such as having an almost sleepless night on the 1st day (We had card games at 3 and I went to Subway at Downtown East with Nobel and Issac at 4 in the morning, that should be more than enough evidence), which practically wiped out everyone the next morning.

Fucking around with my xbox 360 was another memorable 'event', glad that Zul bought his copy of Black Ops. We practically had a 12+ hour gaming marathon. Halo 3 and Crimson Skies were also played as well, but they were not as fun I guess.

The BBQ was a messy affair, but it was fun. Mucking around the resort compound was just as enjoyable (it was at Costa Sands Pasir Ris BTW), but I did not enjoy the beach volleyball sessions, especially when mud from the grass we walked on ruined my clothes. I still managed to wash it off, so it's still something I guess.

Sadly, the chalet is most probably the last thing the 4E2 peeps shall do together as a class, most of it anyway, 2 years have gone by too quickly. So did the 4 years of my secondary school life. Bah, I better stop thinking about the good old days of being a BVSS student, otherwise I will get nostalgia attacks again.

Fking neighbours.

Seriously, since our previous neighbours moved out. The new ones, apparently PRC students, were making a hell lot of noise. God damn it, it's freaking irritating. Making noises here, making noises there. Screaming and shouting, WTF man! Seriously! Their noise even stopped my parents from being friendly to them, if they were so in the 1st place. Christ, I hope this stops soon, otherwise I will have to use my vuvuzuela, which I did in the past (with my dad's blessing!)...

Class chalet's tomorrow, WOOHOO!!!!!

Goodness! I am extremely excited. Tomorrow's the class chalet!!! Packed my bags, with the basic necessities and my beloved Xbox 360 pro (had to do some persuading with my dad, but I succeeded so...). Hope that everything goes well. Especially when it has been raining all this while. 3D2N of fun, and maybe restless nights, HERE I COME!!!

Army museum...I just can't get myself to admit that it's boring.

You should know that this post is about my trip to the Army Museum of Singapore from the title. I've been to it once in Sec 2, although it was only for a very brief moment. As a military enthusiast, I guess it is an unofficial duty for me to visit that place and explore it's entirely, so I did, yesterday. It was a bit impressive, but I will have to stop my praises there.

My 1 hour+ trip to the museum started, after waiting for Bhalaji (no offense, but that guy is seriously capable of being the king of tardiness) which took me almost 1 bleeding hour. After giving him the finger when he finally arrived. We went on our way. The MRT and Bus journey was almost uneventful. I must admit that I was shocked then I found out the Boon Lay interchange still services the non-air conditioned buses, strange, when that place is already air-conditioned.

The museum is a small affair, to my fucking disappointment. Our armed forces deserve a better tribute. There are some sections which I enjoyed, like the replica of the Pulau Tekong camp in the 1970s and that...ah shit, I forgot. Still, there needs to be more action and exhibits in that place. I finished going through the whole place within an hour or so. I am looking forward to the next army open house. It will be more crowded, but there is more fun to be had.

Untitled shite

So today's graduation day I guess, got my certs, took some pictures, lamented on my inability to smile in front of a camera properly and promised to stay in touch with my friends. I have to admit, it's really boring most of the time, with me reaching from my pocketed HTC Wildfire and allowing myself or See Cheng (or Chee Xiong, depending on whether you hate of despise him, JK, I think...) to consume the 12GB of free data that I have. Unlike other events in which I will go on a photography frenzy. I took pictures at a rather casual pace, looking for candid pics and the like. I did not have much to say about the organisation of the event. It was a bit rubbish. The prize winners for the COLOURS award (me included, INCLUDED I TELL YOU!!!) were mixed up. The emcees could not pronounce many names correctly (no offense, but F*CK!) and many activities are blatantly forced (as in holyshitwhymustyoubesouprightaboutthiswhenyoucanbediscreetright? forced), like the throwing of ties (missed a photo shot there, screw...) and the bowing towards the parents and shit.

When the ceremony finally ended (thank god for that), I became a freakin' camwhore, taking pictures anywhere and everywhere, particularly with my buddies, teachers and classmates. I guess I had to make the most of the little time I had left with them. Still, my inability to smile properly most of the time really screwed up some photos (facepalm*). All things (good or bad) have to come to an end, and I had to go home, with my parents. Josephine's grad party is tomorrow, and the class chalet is on the 26th, I better start packing up.

Time does fly like a bitch

Tomorrow's graduation day, the official end to 4 glorious years in Bedok View Secondary School. I must say, time flies too quickly I guess. From the 1st day of school, to my 1st parade in NPCC, to my passing out parade, to tomorrow's event. Gosh, I don't know why, I do not want my secondary school life to end. It's fucking obvious that I cannot turn back the clock, but that's how things go I guess... I hope I can make use of the few hours I have with my friends tomorrow, gotta bring a camera and maybe some tissue. I better wake up early as well, I need to be in school by 8am, not by 0720 like in the past, good times, good times.

I better be going now, more thoughts about this and I will become damn sentimental.

The O's are over, WOOT!!!!!

The O's are over, and I do not want to bother with what me previous papers were like. I rather not dwell on them. After ytd's paper, I went with Issac, Nobel, See Cheng and out favourite K-9 (Chun Kiat) for a LAN session. After which, when K-9 and SC left, we went out for dinner, before going back to the LAN shop (dumb right?). Now I am clueless about preventing myself from suffering from boredom. I guess I will have to see how it goes then.

3 more papers!!!!!!!

3 more papers, SS, P.geog P2 and Science P1 and FREEDOM!!!!!!!

Can't wait for 12th November, last paper (for me and the other non-bio and D&T ppl anyway). After which, I will go and waste myself with LAN and my beloved X-Box 360 Pro. To be honest, after the 3rd and 2nd last papers, I would be in an extremely relaxed mood. The SS and Human Geography papers would be bitches in their own right, but the MCQ papers would really be one heck of a slack fest. (Although I still need to revise for them)

The only thing after that will be how on earth am I supposed to occupy myself without turning myself into some couch potato? Whatever, will worry about that later.
