Just received an SMS from Iskandar which said that we had to pay our $45 camp fees using our own cash, and that the school would reimburse us next time. Which translates to all 4 of us having to go to the high-class Red Cross Headquarters all the way down in Dhoby Ghaut to pay our fees. mafansile. =.=. And apparently some people are still fast asleep (I suppose), totally neglecting my calls.

Camp in 2 days! And I'm in totally no mood to pack. Packing is the main reason why I hate going to camps. People are going crazy about getting a lanyard at the end of camp just to decorate their uniform. I long for one too, although I'm not sure that I'll be able to get one, haha. One more thing, I was expecting RCYC to be another regimental camp, but apparently its the total opposite, so I guess we'd be having lots of fun. But still, I'm looking forward to the end of camp, as usual. Nothing beats sitting in front of the monitor and enjoying some good ol' anime. =D

School starts in 20 days. And I can't wait for it to begin. Cooping up at home for 2 months isn't doing any good to me. Speaking of school, I wasn't even sure where I'd be studying in next year exactly one month ago. It was pretty much like a tug-of-war between me and my parents. I consider it a miracle that I was actually allowed to stay. haha, you people have no idea exactly how much I had to do/did just to convince them that I'd be able to survive without IP. Curious? Ask me and I shall decide if I should tell you. ;P.

I'm finally done with Toradora! yesterday. Pure spammage of 16 episodes excluding the 3 episodes of Phantom I watched in the morning. I couldn't control my tears over the last few episodes of that wonderful anime. Ah, the wonders of anime. At one point I actually cried. =.= yes those tears fell. =X. The soundtrack's pretty decent too.

Crashed my bed shortly after 11.30 with my ears plugged. And so I began my 11-hour slumber. -.-.

RC has just ruined my day. Again. .____.
benedict.

Today was my first full day of band in a loooong time and I'm HAPPY =D. Though it also reminded of how much energy it can take to blow a wind instrument, even one as small as a clarinet.

Soo Wei sir took us for sectionals today, and quite productive it was. Proper warm-ups was a good refreshing exercise for me after 3 weeks of deprived practice, and Michael Jackson-Through the Years is one of the most entertaining pieces I've played this year, more so because thirds have parts that allow us to shine. Ratatouille was the same as always, except I got pushed back to third from first since Zu Xuan sir is overseas, so someone reliable has to replace him as the anchorman in the thirds, and apparently I'm the no. 1 target, provided my experience in third in a lot of pieces and SYF. Haa.

Clarinet assessment, oh boy. By the time it started, my teeth were already starting to hurt. Rustiness I guess. But i had to practice for it, since my absence really took a toll on my knowledge of the pieces. I was the second last in line, sec 2s after sec 1s, common etiquette. So all the practice before my turn basically...well....condemned my teeth.

So my turn. The scales they test were the most bastard part. They give weird rhythms that you have to remember. I did the first 2 alright, then I forgot the 3rd set. Gabriel sir classically said,"Try again, it's 8 quavers...er...what did I say again?"

Everyone in the room diao'd.

Pieces were ok, I just followed everything Soo Wei sir thought today and all the stuff said by Mr Tan in the last practices. So yea. Results. I clinched the top spot, with 74/80. Reaaal shocker. Daryl, who was the last in line, got 66/80, all the components got 1 mark less than me...lol? I got 9 for six components, which are air, tonguing, subdivision, Highlights from Ratatouille, Kokopelli and Jericho and a 10 for the remaining 2-tone and Michael Jackson-through the Years. Kind of weird because my tone deteriorated halfway through the test because of the air-con, so despite the results, I know my faults.

Had "lunch" at Macs at Bedok Interchange. I had no choice! it was 4.30pm and I was about to die of hunger. Luckily though, because when I got to White Sands, the Macs there just so happened to be upgrading for one day. Went up to look at some XBox games, browse browse go home. After talking to Benedict for a few min, the world turned blank and I died. On my bed. For 1 hour.

Daniel

P.S. Playing wind instruments uses a lot of energy in diaphragm support, so playing for the whole day literally sucked the life out of me. This week is going to full of it.

I had a terrible night yesterday. Really really terrible. =X. I had to run errands in between my anime-watching spree all thanks to my sister. And then she won't shut up about me not helping her with her barbeque. Cousins came over too, as I mentioned. Which resulted in the disruption of my peace and quiet and the end of my anime-spree, right? WRONG =D. I continued to stone in front of the monitor, totally ignorant of what was happening around me. XD.

Finished my dinner at 10pm. =X. And my sister's friends just kept coming. Luckily most of them never managed to stay till 11pm, when all activities at the barbeque pits had to cease, as if that happened, I would never be able to get any peace. =X. Chatted on MSN with Daniel till 12am, before I decided that it was time for me to sleep. But no, my sis had to drag me out to sing her birthday song and snap photographs for her. =X. Anyway, happy 19th sis. =X.

So I slept in real late today, like around 11. I was wiped out completely by the previous night. X_x. A few of my sister's friends came over to our house for a birthday surprise, armed with boxes of Macs (a.k.a. my sister's breakfast =.=). The moment they came, my sister locked herself up in her room. I was guessing that she knew that some visitors had arrived and wanted to continue her beauty sleep without being disturbed =.=. But anyway it was really nice of her friends to come over specially to surprise her. And boyyy was she surprised. XD.

Three days away from camp, and the RCYC committee has decided to revise the packing list to include more items. MORE BOTHER. =.=. I'm feeling lazy as usual, so don't expect me to start packing till Wednesday. And I have RCYC-related stuff bothering me everyday so I can't really enjoy my anime. T^T. Can't wait for the camp to end, seriously, so that I can really enjoy my holiday. But then again I seriously doubt I will, however. Contradicting, I know, but I can't and won't even think about enjoying my holidays properly with the stack of undone homework.

I'm utterly bored out of my wits now. Should I mess around with my A-Maths paper? I think I should. ;D.

benedict.

This is going to be a boring day again, so I'd rather post now than later, since there won't be much stuff to post about anyway.

Camp's just 4 days from today, and I'm already dreading the packing phase. Not because of the amount of stuff that we are required to lug to the campsite, but the bother of actually packing these stuff instead. Like digging for stuff that you have to bring when you know that you don't have it, and having to buy it last-minute at the ever-convenient shopping mall right beside your condominium. But of course, I have a feeling that this camp is gonna be a good one, so I guess that the packing should be worth it. ;P.

My hands are pretty much tied up right now. =X. I've never had a time whereby I had to juggle so many tasks at once. Curious? I'm busy wolfing down my doublecheese, scanning my maths (=X), watching anime (=D), surfing the net, enjoying some JPop music, and of course, blogging. A good way to finish all that you have to do at once. ;D

Speaking of maths, the 8 questions are still left undone. I have zero motivation to even figure out what the question requires you to do, let alone having any to actually do it. And English can basically go to hell. ;P.

Just remembered that Footdrill competition training would commence as of 28th December. I'm expecting trainings to be held on every weekday? I don't really mind though, if that's what it takes for us to reach the elite twelve. After all, I'm a footdrill instructor now, and I'd love to help out the unit. ;D. But as of now, we are in no shape to even make it to the top 3 of the East District. So I hope that the intensive training to 6th March would work out. Can't wait!

And I'm off, the scanner's starting to piss me off.
benedict.

So yea, NEmation is finally freaking over, and a bit of a good riddance in my mind, though I missed their comps that don't actually die, tablet and good company. Especially AHS, YJC and RJC, thanks guys.

If you were expecting a long post or sth, sorry to disappoint.

Pretty fun 3 weeks and the spirit was high, though many sacrifices had to be made. One being my free time staying at home and watching anime. Goodness, how long has it been since I spent the whole day sitting in front of the computer watching anime endlessly, sometimes even completing 2 series in a day. Though even if I didn't go for NEmation, my comp would've destroyed my happiness, so I'll let it slide...for now.

So what other sacrifices have I had to make? No. 1 on my list is band. 3 weeks of deprived practice really made me depressed at the halfway point of NEmation when things started to get busy. It's a pain, to see the clarinet case on the floor in my room in the morning and have no time to practice; to see the clarinet case on the floor in my room at night and have no energy to practice, thinking of it during NEmation and not even getting to see the case. Thinking about all the band practices I've missed and all the time that I could've improved my playing skills and building better relationships with my batch and juniors. It was melancholic, haha. But these 3 weeks had its ups, so let's treat it as a break from band, though not needed.

What's ahead now that NEmation is over?

1. Getting back in shape to play the clarinet, today was a happy day.
2. There's a clarinet assessment on Monday. Perfect timing. not.
3. 1 week to practice for Recollections II on 20th Dec, Sunday.
4. 3 weeks to practice with batch for sec 1 orientation.
5. And finally, 3 weeks to long pants.

Haha, all band. But that's the way it should be.

Something I should mention. I didn't eat dinner yesterday even though there was a buffet at the celebration last night because I actually had 2 meals for lunch. After having chicken cutlet with spaghetti and wedges at Koufu, I had another plate of chicken rice, which I actually finished completely, and then had 2 cans of soya bean milk. I finished it all and had no appetite for the rest of the day. So for those of you who were wondering, its all in the good act of trying to use up all the koufu vouchers they gave us for the 3 weeks. ;D

Daniel.

P.S. 6. Watch as much anime as possible. Except Naruto and such. =P

RCYC TODAY WAS AWESOME. =D.
Gogo CHARLIE! =D

Made some new friends today. haha. And met up with old ones as well. Ok la, not THAT old. But older. =). We had great fun with the bimbo/himbo cheers, and the signature actions of Charlie. Rock on Charlie! =X

Headed straight to VS from our beloved campsite immediately after the contact session ended. Stupid me could have taken 196/197 to school, but I detoured all the way to opposite Bedok interchange to begin an eleven minute wait for bus 31. -.-. I then stoned like a complete idiot at the VS bus stop waiting for Derek to appear from 1.30pm to 2pm. With my dear iPod of course. I wouldn't even be able to survive a 15-minute wait without that little precious gadget of mine. =D. Took 31 again to Parkway for our beloved Subway lunch. at 2.15pm -.-. I was bloody ravenous. X_x. Derek had a sub, mushroom soup, 2 cookies and a drink. I had sub, drink, chips. But I threw away the chips, so =X. That guy's a huge eater. -.-.

A-MATHS TUITION WAS A KILLER. And there were only three people (including me and Derek) in the whole class. -.-. Teacher chionged 2 topics in 1.5 hours, and grasping it was like making me eat a Subway cookie that had dropped into the urinal (Derek -.-). Cousin(s) coming over tomorrow. We shall have lots of fun. yay. .__.

Hello indices. You have no idea how much I hate you. T^T
benedict.

This shall be the 160th post of this blog. And a short one I suppose.

RCYC finally begins tomorrow. Goodbye boredom! Or maybe not. I'm finally stepping into VS tomorrow after a month of being a prisoner at home. X_x. Meeting Derek Lian at the canteen at 2pm after RCYC for A-Maths tuition later on at 3. And I'm wearing my UI shirt tomorrow! ;P.

Going out later on. Unfortunately I'm not in the mood to do so. I've been having diarrhea ever since I woke up. And I'm not willing to leave my dear dear computer alone. X_x. But mehh, they HAD to drag me outta the house. Another afternoon gone. Count the evening portion in too.

After months (or years) of listening to alternative genre music, I have finally taken a liking to rock (yes rock -.-) music. Especially JRock and Alt. Rock. And I finally started on Toradora. It's an extremely interesting anime, anyone who loves comedy/romance and/or high school anime should take some time to enjoy this wonderful series. =D. It has everything to do with best friends and lovers. Don't get it? Go watch lar. -.-.

benedict.

Hello to the measle number of visitors to this little online abode of mine. This thing looks and feel so dead. =/.

Thanks to my boredom (yet again) I have decided to re-read New Moon for the fun of it. Actually I wanted to re-read Eclipse more because I realised that I was unable to recall a single thing that happened in book three, but my sister apparently lent the book to her dear friends to read and its still unreturned/missing after half a year. Why do I have to suffer because of her irresponsibility anyway. =.=. Or should I re-read Breaking Dawn? Forget it, I shall borrow more John Kellerman books. By this weekend. =D.

Forget EL homework already, I have no idea on how to continue with my storyline, and newspaper reports anyone? The last one we did was dated back to June (half a year ago hello =.=), so do you think we actually bother to remember how to do one now? =.=. Oh and remember when I said I actually completed my maths? There are actually 8 undone questions. Mostly sec one work like drawing triangles (wtf) and graphs that I'm simply too lazy to draw. haha. I need some pressure for me to actually do my work. I'm not used to this situation whereby there is no rush for you to complete your homework. =X.

benedict.

I'm bored, as usual. So I watched Movie 12, Arceus and the Jewel of Life, followed by Phantom. Awesome stuff. And in addition to that I actually half-finished my EL homework. What an accomplishment. And thanks to that, I have absolutely no mood to do any homework today.

The week's passing by extremely slowly, and its pissing me off to no end. I just can't wait till Saturday comes. So expect more posts on how long this stupid week is dragging on. ;P.

We still have no idea what classes we are going to be in next year. Come on staff, surely you don't need till 2nd Jan to sort out the class lists do you? Other schools have already settled this ages ago. =.=.

GWAH I have nothing else to blog about. .__.
benedict.

Rawr. I'm back and bored as usual. But you have my boredom to thank (or despise) today, as I present a short story to all of you which makes totally no sense really. Its more like a descriptive essay rather than a story. But heck it, and enjoy. .__.

benedict.

END.

Her eyelids fluttered away, trying in vain to clear the blur in her vision. She found herself staring straight up at the cracked ceiling of a dim, unlit room with barely enough space to hold 4 people. Her eyes darted back and forth, scanning the environment hurriedly. Heavy footsteps could be heard from outside the room. Panic was written all over her face as she cringed in a corner.

BAM. The door flew open without warning, and in its place were three buffed figures. The girl jumped up in response to the sudden entrance, desperately squeezing her eyes shut. She was undoubtedly intimidated, knowing exactly what would happen in moments to come. The three individuals, heavily armed and clad in black overalls, then strode into the confined space, with the heels of their leather shoes clicking away against the tiled flooring. Two of them grabbed the girl by her arms and lifted her off the ground. She struggled with all her might, ignoring the excruciating pain in both of her arms, but try as she might, her petite frame was no match for the two ripped hooligans. The third thug had two pistols, one in each of his humongous hands. He wore a smirk on his badly scarred face, just below the yellow shades he was wearing. He led the rest out of the unlit confinement, into a dimly lit corridor. The walls were stained with random spots of bright red throughout the whole walkway. Scanning her surroundings, the girl’s heart started pounding heavily.

‘What is going to happen?’ She thought. Tears were streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks, and her mind was in a whirl. Confusion. Fear. Suspense.

Just at that moment, a blood-curdling scream ripped through the premises. The girl’s sobs turned into loud wails as she was brought into another room, where a cloaked individual awaited. The brightly lit and clearly larger room, however, did not offer any form of comfort to the little girl. The two thugs threw her to a corner of the room. Just then, the cloaked man spun around to reveal fresh, bright red blood dripping from the corners of his lips, which curled to form a malicious little grin. The girl’s eyes bulged in horror, and her lips quivered uncontrollably, as the cloaked bloodsucker reached for her. She tried to scream, but nothing came out. She tried to run, but her legs refused to.

The pale, white hands of the bloodsucker came within grabbing distance, but it continued to reach forward. Finally, the girl released an ear-piercing cry, but it soon faded away.

Today's not gonna be a good day. Not a good start to the day, at least. How would you feel if someone called you a __(insert CCA name here)__ android/zombie.

(9:51 AM) At NYP doing N: THERES MORE TO LIFE THAN RED CROSS BENNY
(9:51 AM) bL.: then why call urself a red cross android/zombie -.-
u dint even attend any
(9:51 AM) At NYP doing N: IM SAYING MUST I BE A RED CROSS ZOMBIE LIKE U?????

Niiiice. That was Khairul btw. What a thing so say when he actually missed every single parade during the holidays. I don't blame him for that, he has his commitments, and so do I. My priority is RC. So who is he to call me a Red Cross android/zombie? If that's the case, shouldn't he be the NEmation android/zombie? He'd better get his facts right. Intolerable nonsense.

Enough of this crap already, I don't wish to talk about it anymore. Gonna try to finish up the first of two EL homework today, which is the bloody YOG composition. I'm in no mood to write, so I'm wondering if it could be typed out instead. But wait. I'm not in the homework mood just yet. So maybe afternoon? Homeworks are not meant to be done so early in the morning. I'm heading off to spam SS after this. Yes, Pokemon's the in thing again. It has always been. ;P.

benedict.

Heyya, I'm just back from the movies with Marcus and Khairul. Also affectionally known as Lilliputians. haha. So I basically wasted my morning away in bed. 10 hours of undisturbed sleep. Just imagine that. haha.

Left the house at 3pm, and reached Tampines Mall at 3.30pm. It was way earlier than expected, so I happily toured the whole of TM before meeting them at the cinema. I just so happened to walk past the Converse store, so I stole a peek at the awesome sneakers. It made me want another pair pronto. -.-.

Met them upstairs at exactly 3.45pm, so we bought our drinks and stuff. ILT. XD. Ohoh and Marcus is so kind! Here's why.

Benedict: How about the movie tickets? How much ar?
Marcus: Aiyah no need la, I treat you all.
(Khairul and Benedict stunned. O_O)
Benedict: You serious?
Marcus: Ya, just take it as a birthday present in advance.

It kinda made me feel bad that I didn't get anything for him for his birthday. haha. Anyway, on to the movie. Khairul couldn't stop asking me about what happens next in the movie (I read the book -.-), and I couldn't resist telling him all about it. I think the people sitting behind us were pissed at all the spoilers I was giving to Khairul. -.-. Oh and I felt really awkward throughout the movie. Seriously, 3 guys watching a romance movie together? Something's gotta be wrong. =O. And yes, the whole cinema was filled with couples. Which made it worse for us. -.-.We had one sitting in front of us, and they kept hugging each other. -.-.

Went all the way to White Sands for dinner at Macs. Khairul had to go bowling so I ate with Marcus. We basically chatted about everything under the sun while we ate. haha. Stoned all the way from Pasir Ris to Sengkang alone in bus 89. ;P. And here I am now. And bleh I'm feeling both hot and cold now. Hope its not fever. Again. =/.

benedict.

Hey peeps I'm finally back from UIP. YES, the Unit Instructors' Programme 2009 is over. Sad hor. But look on the (very) bright side. I passed. With 4 certificates. Iskandar passed Gold for OA too. Imba guy who started OA from scratch. =D. And and and I got an A grade for my Theory Exam without mugging. =D. A+ for practical, A+ for instructional and A grade overall. :D. I didn't manage to get the lanyard, but oh heck it, I'm real satisfied. =). I'm really really exhausted today. Yeah thanks Passing Out Parade. That one hour almost killed me.

Haihai, I'm here blogging again cos I'm extremely bored. =|.

Yay, I finally found a suitable skin for the blog. Shhhh it was originally a skin for females, but i tweaked the colours from pink to yellow. Heheh. But it looks okay right? Tell me if you don't like it, then I shall go for a skin-searching spree again. =). It took me 2 days to finally find the perfect (not really) skin. Haha.

Heyya peeps again. Its 10.37am now, and I'm home alone. With the exception of my elder sister sleeping on her bed. Gotta wake her up later. That's gonna be a real chore. =X. I threw my new beret under my bed at 4pm yesterday, and when I took it out to check today, it was already perfectly seasoned. =D. But I shall leave it there till Saturday Morning so it would look way nicer. And my cap badge is still not on yet. ;P.

Going to watch New Moon with Khairul on Sunday. Marcus doesn't wanna go because he has to celebrate his birthday with his cousins. Which just shows that he doesn't wanna spend it with us. =.=. I assume that Derek Lian is overseas since he wouldn't reply my SMSes or come online. So Derek's out. Bleh.

And I just had a sudden realisation. Again. A-Maths tuition begins this Saturday, and I can't attend, cos there is UIP CS3. And then next Saturday, I can't attend again. RCYC CS1. The next Saturday, RCYC camp itself. So obviously I can't attend. So I guess I'll be missing out on alot of stuff. T^T. But who cares, XD. Theres going to be hell loads of fun. So tuition can go to hell. XDDD.

Footdrill Theory Exam this Saturday at UIP CS3, which will decide whether I will pass UIP or not. I WANT THAT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE LANYARD AND I SHALL WORK HARD FOR IT. =). But then to get top 3 in the Spec. is as good as winning a third prize in a lucky draw. =.=. I'm unable to study for the exam due to lack of notes, but hell will I try my best. I can't let VSRCCU down!

Let's all do our best.
benedict. =D

Awright. I'm here posting only because I don't have to go to school today. Training's been cancelled. Awwwww. haha. Anyways this will be a short one. Cos there is really nothing to post about here. Maybe I shall post pics? Naw. No pics.

Going Beach Road later to get my beret. Can't borrow cos there's no training today. But I'm seriously clueless. Later I buy wrong beret how? T^T.

This post is pathetic. I may update more later.
benedict.

UPDATE
I has bought my beret. And I think that its the right one. I'm desperately sitting on it with all my might trying to season it. Its gonna be under my bed for the whole time from tonight till Saturday morning. I've been squashing it for over an hour now, and it looks way nicer than Iskandar's beret. XD. CAP BADGE. Where to put ar. I phail as a Footdrill Instructor. =.=.

Having extreme headache since I reached home. And sore throat. rawwwr. Now seriously I'm not in the mood to blog anymore, so this pathetic post shall stay pathetic. Just be thankful that I updated. =)

Heyya peepos. Today is another boring boring day. Wah I miss RC already. ;P. But no worries, cos there's training tomorrow! Bronze Evac. notes. I wonder what we need it for, all of us have already passed Bronze. With the exception of Khairul. XP. And the training is for Sec 2s only. I wonder what we're gonna do, cos it sseems extremely secretive. =X. Did I mention that I made it into FDC squad? hahaha. Can't wait for FD training.

Didn't go Beach Road today. Because I woke up extremely late. .___. Thanks so much camp. I spent so long trying to catch up on stuff yesterday so I din't manage to get much sleep. And yes I'm still tired from camp. X_x. Planning to go for a haircut tomorrow after training. Maybe I shall borrow a beret from the seniors. Save me the trouble of going all the way to the ulu ulu place just to buy one.

benedict.

Awright, I'm seriously bored, so I shall give a very brief run through for what we did during the camp. Forgive me, I'm feeling extremely lethargic but yet I'm in no mood for a shut-eye. Contradicting I know. =X

Day one.

First day of camp. The atmosphere was brim-full of reluctance I tell you. Iskandar and I reached the campsite carpark at 8am, way before the start of registration. Everyone was rushing to do their last-minute stuff, like SOME PEOPLE who din't stick on their labels for their bottles, and incomplete lesson plans. tsktsk. Ok so its the usual procedure for registration. We put our stuff in our bunks, and proceeded for flag-raising. Lucky lucky me got to be the flag-bearer. Nice? My foot. I screwed up really badly, and all of a sudden it started to rain and the flag-raising parade was aborted. And I was caught in the middle of it all, standing in the rain helplessly. In the end Celeste ma'am took over flag-raising. hehehe. We had our individual lesson plan presentation after that. Mine was rather okay, but there is always room for improvement. =3. Best part, I got shortlisted to become Parade Commander/APC/GOH contingent commander/SO for CS3's Passing Out Parade (POP). But hello first-time commander and master of screw-ups. You should know what happened. =X. Had Bronze and Silver footdrill revision, before proceeding with the learning of Gold drills. We did Gold indoors at the third floor corridor because it was pouring. Doing footdrills never felt so fun before. XD. We had to join a Casualty Evacuation Spec. squad and an Outdoor Activities Spec. squad to do a 25-week training programme for a school. heheh. So basically we had one night to plan a year's worth of activities for the cadets. Hard. X_x. I took my FD Bronze and Slver accred that night, all the way till lights out. Late night footdrills FTW! XD. Had a terrible 2 hour sleep. Forget sleep, just take it as a quick nap.

Day two.

Woke up at 5.30am, fall in time was at 6am. Did some stretching exercises, before we proceeded for flag-raising. We were given some time for our discussions for the 25-week training programme, before we proceeded to the MPH for our presentation. First group to present. I think we screwed up some parts, such as the irrelevant objectives. Bleh. After that's done we had Footdrill Gold revision. Say hello to commanding. It's freaking fun. XD. I somehow managed to learn all the FD Gold commands and master it before lunchtime. Huge achievement. XDD. After lunch we had to change into our full uniform for our Gold UIP Practical Examination. gaspgasp. Managed to screw up (as always) some of the practical drills, and I think I totally flunked UI. Face it, long hair, unseasoned beret, super long and loose pants which weren't ironed properly. Pwned commanding. =D. So Gold practical over, can rest and relax already right? Wrong. We had Bronze and Silver Practical after that. Bronze was a piece of cake, Silver was bleah. Imagine doing hentak with your eyes glaring at the blazing sun in full uniform for about 2 minutes or so. My brain was practically frying. Had a mini water parade after that, so I drank half a bottle (1.5 l) of water. Our drills eventually deteriorated pretty much thanks to the weather. After Silver we had drillstick practical. Like W.T.H. I absolutely detest drillstick drills. Totally screwed up the saluting part. I saluted with a clenched fist. Embarrassing, I know, but I managed to get away with it, haha cos nobody saw. Went back to prepare for our Instructional Examination for Day three. Which is basically another individual lesson plan but we have to do it overnight instead of over a period of a few days. I was super kiasu for the lesson plan, thus I made it very very very detailed and specific, which eventually resulted in a lack of space on the paper. So how? Squeeze lor. Consequently, my handwriting looked like it had been compressed after it had already been compressed. -.-. Had campfire briefing after we changed outta full uniform. Then campfire! puhpuhpuhpokerface XD. Had a great time. Brilliant buffet dinner before we set off to complete our lesson plan. Went for FOOTDRILL GOLD ACCRED (:D) at 11pm. Both of the squads taking the accred were heavily criticised for the sloppy standard of drills that they were giving. But guess what hahaha I was the first to pass. =D. I thank my commanding skills. Not all that great, I know, but its sufficient to pull me through. Lights out soon after accred.

Day three.

Which is today. I had the honour of being the Colour Guard (flag-bearer) again. Yay, this time I managed to NOT screw up. =D. Did an okay job for the flag. We had our Instructional Examination after breakfast. I didn't know that we were supposed to conduct our lesson without our lesson plan, so when Sebastian to began his lesson without the lesson plan I was like omgwtfbbq I can't recall a freaking thing about my lesson. Being the third last person to take the exam definitely helped. Managed to scrape through with some positive feedback. =D We had Accreditation lessons after that, teaching us how to accred. cadets up to Silver. Slacked till 11.15, before peer appraisal began. Grabbed our bags and gathered in the canteen for mass debrief with OA and Evac before flag lowering parade. And we were dismissed after that.

Yay. Camp over. I had to drag my lethargic body all the way from campsite to Bedok Interchange (around 3 bus stops) along with all my camping stuff. Took 87 home, took a good 1.5 hour bus ride. I was really hoping to fall asleep during the bus ride, but I got one of those 'unable to sleep cos you're too tired' moments instead. So I basically stoned through the whole ride home.

=O Ohdear XD forget about the brief run through. I don't think that this qualifies as brief anymore. And its 11 already. Greattt. I have to get my beret at Beach Road either tomorrow or Wednesday. bleh.

nights lar, I'm dead tired.
benedict.

Hello people. I find myself back from the (tiring but somehow awesome) UIP camp with a sudden realization that tomorrow is December and taddahhh I haven't even completed half of homework. Brilliant right? Old last-minute chionging method never fails to kick in. tsktsk. On a brighter side, I PASSED MY FOOTDRILL GOLD! =) Going from no proficiency to gold in 2 days is just unbelievable. Thanks to all the sirs and ma'ams =D.

Ohwell why do we always go to camps with utmost reluctance, and return from them just to realise that it wasn't that bad actually. =.= But meh there's still CS3. I'll be really lucky if I manage to earn myself the lanyard. But the chances are near impossible, really. 10% of 33 people is roughly 3 people. So yeah. -.-

And oh yes, what's with the horrible attitude Khairul? tsktsk. Where is your sense of humour? -.- I badly need a good nap.

benedict.

Hai guys, again. You may forget the last bit of the previous post. =.=

I'm packing my stuff as I type. And I'm sure most of us agree that packing itself sucks. But will the camp follow suit? I'm not sure about that. It's up to us to make it enjoyable for ourselves, if you actually know what I mean. =3. Anyway, back to packing, I'm missing a whistle. And I'm in desperate need of some really big scotchtape. Or see-through masking tape. Ohwell you get the idea. -.-. I haven't prepared my uniform yet. Unpolished boots. Screwed up beret. Flattened collars. LONG HAIR. Ouch. >.<

Meanwhile, I'm desperately trying to scotchtape my label onto my bottle with... scotchtape. It's really pathetic I know. I'm feeling sort of anxious now. It's pretty much like waiting for your turn to go for an interview. Hopefully this camp would be fun and enable us to learn something. =). However, I'm still looking forward to a long, well-deserved rest on Monday when I return.

Alright, I've gotta finish up my packing. I have no whistle whatsoever. How? Die.
X_x
benedict.

baibai. I'm serious this time, no more posts till Monday. Miss me. =)

This is the beginning of the last day before camp.
I've gotta enjoy it.
:D


Going to vivo with UIP guys for campfire item discussions later. A great way to spend your public holiday. haha I'm serious. Staying at home all day doesn't benefit you much anyway. Camp starts tomorrow and lasts till Monday. I can't wait (till Monday). haha. I'm not in a particularly good mood today as well though. I blame sore throat and runny nose. Not to mention a very boring morning.

I'm still not confident in my UIP lesson plan though. I'm expecting loads of criticism. >.<. I can't believe it, just after 1 day I have totally forgotten about Owl City. Attention has been turned to Jason Walker. Nice melancholy-instilling songs. Totally the opposite of Owl City. .__.

I suppose this is my last post for the week. So basically this blog will be left dead till Monday. Hooorayy. ._.

benedict.

I feel super horrible. Horrible to the extent that I can't breathe properly. Shortness of breath. Its as if there isn't enough oxygen in my brain.

Yesterday was rather productive. I managed to finish my lesson plan, RC reports and part of my maths homework. But life's still just as boring. I guess that its safe to say that just about nothing can appease me right now. Or maybe not? =X. My intensified dread of the rest of the holiday period isn't really helping either. I feel like going on a little escapade of my own. .____.

I'm re-hooked to Owl City. Their songs really do wonders to my not-so-wonderful mood. I would gladly request for an overdose. =3. I won't be doing much today, maybe take a trip down to the library and borrow a few more John Kellerman books. So I'm expecting more boredom. =3=. Right. I completely forgot about EL homework. What? Newspaper report? Heck it. Who the hell would bother to remember how to write one. If I'm not wrong the last time we wrote a newspaper report was during the midyear season. So I'm planning to just screw that up like nobody's business.

I feel as if I could go work as an editor or something. I was editing documents the whole day yesterday. Mindlessly. Yes Derek Lian you heard me, that letter was edited without any/much thought. I was basically just dragging your sentences to make it reach the 200 word limit. But apparently I had so much fun screwing up your letter, so I pulled it to 240. =.=. Speaking of editing, I have zero confidence in my lesson plan. I think I pretty much screwed up that one too.

I'm typing at an unbelievable pace of ~62wpm. How unusual.
GRAHHH I feel so lifeless.
benedict. T^T

P.S.
benedict is sick again. hooray. .____.

These few days have been really tiring, and it's only going to get worse from here.

Sorry for the long absence guys, I really couldn't help it. My last post was before I set out for VELOCI-T Leadership Training Camp. I totally feel like a different person after the camp, and I see my old self as a naive and unsure personality, and I feel totally renewed. I now have more confidence in the way I speak and am more assertive in my actions and I'm actually socializing with my juniors, which is a total wow provided how I didn't think much of them before. I totally regret it now and as they really are good people. They are the batch that will assist us in SYF Central Judging 2011 and will eventually lead, so we mustn't keep thinking of them as 'lousy' or 'noob'. Many of my batchmates still think so, but I want to instill that juniors are something to be treasured, and always remember they are not much younger than you =3.

Haha, I meant for this post to be short, but all this suddenly surged into my head.

=VELOCI-T=

This camp, initially spitted my me, now has me appreciating it.

Day 1:
First half of the day was in school taking courses by TRYBE...yea you know them. First one was about public speaking. Dear me, you know how bad my social skills were, so I took it rather seriously, especially speaking with assertiveness, which is what I am trying to achieve right now and I believe I am on the right track.

Second lesson was after lunch =fried rice with vege, egg and chicken= in the AV room. This was about knowing what qualities are in you and what qualities you want to instill in your juniors. This made us explore our inner selves and find out what we most treasured and taught us to use this as a guideline on how to guide your juniors so they can achieve what you desire too as well as to keep us on track while leading.

MODULE 1: Model the Way.

We soon reached Changi Camp. Heavy downpour unfortunately activities were put to a standstill. We were shown how to belay and after dinner we were put through an activities. Too long to explain what it was but it proved to us how valuable encouraging leaders are, and without encouragement, things cannot move on.

MODULE 2: Encouraging the Heart

At night, We went through a module set up by Mr Siow, called Mafia Wars. But it was your basic close your eyes, 2 killers, 2 police, 1 doctor rest civilian game. If you are a police and suspect someone of the murder, you have to try to get the civilians to co-operate and nab the killer. This showed us how we had to influence our juniors so that our communication can be effective and that the job can be a success.

MODULE 3: Inspire a Shared Vision

Supper, bathe, sleep. What more can I say?

Day 2:
Apparently some idiot decided to squeeze all five activities into one day. After breakfast, we went abseiling. I was freaking scared. When I got to the top, my acrophobia kicked in at full force and took me quite some time to adjust. It even had me 'dancing' down the wall. But I still managed to do it, that's what counts. We all cheered for Mustaqim too, and one handed abseiling ain't easy, even if the left hand does close to nothing.

Our second activity was Challenge Pole. Now this was scariER. Climb all the way to the top of a pole and try to balance yourself on it. That's hard, considering the top of the pole barely had enough space to place your feet on. After that, jump from your position and try to hang on a trapeze, then fall off. I was really scared but was freaking happy afterwards because I managed to do it, fairly quickly too. Despite it being the shortest station, it is also the most painful. After you fall, you think it's all jolly and fine, but no, the full body harness starts to squish your precious jewels and you can't help but 'OOoooOO' until you reach the ground.

Lunch.

Kayaking, with Mustaqim. I actually wanted a different partner, but I couldn't find any, so you could say this was forced onto me. But afterwards, it made me kinda glad I partnered with him.

Despite only having an arm, he tried his best. It didn't start off well. We had a tad too many people and had to go take our kayak from the back, which was a total waste of time, causing us to lag behind. And as we had a handicap, we couldn't go as fast as the other duos, causing us to lag behind further. I relaxed a little at the start but realised that it wasn't working out. To paddle effectively, you actually need both hands to act as a lever, so Mustaqim was not really doing much despite the work. I realized that only about halfway through and start chionging like nothing else mattered. Even to the point my hands were numb, I didn't want us to lag behind. We started to go much faster but not nearly as fast as the others. But it's always great to see the others who chiong and spam capsize and get wet =P. Utterly sunburnt.

Challenge Rope Course. One other team was still doing it so we did the other challaenges. Like you know that swing across and fit the whole group into a small area. We did that rather successfully =D, 16 people, the biggest group, fitted into the square. Quite the achievement. The challenging part was how the first person was to grab the rope in the middle to swing across, but JingWen from Volleyball just leapt all the way to the other side, grabbing the rope along the way. Even our group leaders were shocked.

Another was to get the tire out of the pole. I didn't even had to do anything really. The others quickly thought of a plan, two sets of one person standing on the arms on tow people below took the tire out easily. How to get it back? ZhaoChen from throwing, goddamned threw the tire back through the pole. Scary.

Challenge Rope Course. As usual I couldn't find a partner, and ended up with Mustaqim again. In this challenge, we start on one pole, which two ropes stretch out from and split into two different poles on the opposite side. So one person has to balance on one rope and lean on the person standing on the other ropes by holding onto the shoulder, keeping them balanced. This was a challenge as Mustaqim's left shoulder was very small and restricted my hold, so i had to hold on to his neck. Doing this challenge just makes you forget about the acrophobia as it requires a lot of focus and communication with your partner. To be honest, I was not confident in making it to the other side, but we somehow managed to pull through and received loud cheers when we got down, it was a bit emotional on the inside for me.

Mustaqim continued to shine. Making his way to the top of the rock climbing wall. However, it would not be possible without ZhaoChen and the belay team. ZhaoChen was amazing, he pulled the ropes like a rock the whole time Mustaqim was on the wall, which was long mind you. He constantly yelled and cheered to encourage Mustaqim. He fell a few times but with ZhaoChen rock hard grip, he didn't really fall much and could just continue where he fell off. I was the anchorman and grip ZhaoChen's harness real tightly, and pulled ZhaoChen down like crap everytime Mus fell down. My hands were burning afterward. I didn't climb because I was exhausted, but shhh don't tell anyone.

Dinner.

We had 3 activities after dinner.

Laser Tag. When we were counter, I was one of those without guns. I was on the terrorist team the next game. I hid in one of the bunks with Ivan and shot whoever stupid enough to run past, and our team of 6 terrorists to the other team of 10 counters won 5 to 0. It was amazing really.

One of the modules was left 4 dead, which was basically zombie tag. We learnt that regular communication and planning beforehand make the game.

MODULE 4: Enable Others to Act.

After that was a lesson with Mr Chen, talking about how we can take what we have learnt from the camp to what was to come after.

Supper, bathe, sleep.

Day 3:
Breakfast then set off.

When we reach Mawai we were ee as our shoes got swampy and muddy immediately. We quickly changed to our rubber shoes ( forgot what it was called ) as soon as we got the chance. There were hordes of carpenter bees at the site, hovering around and inspecting the wood. I don't mind insects flying around, but when they are the size of the middle of your palm, you have to take a bit of caution.

Lunch, was delicious. I wasn't expecting much, but what the teachers and seniors call 'the best camp food' truly lives up to its name. Malay food at its finest, I even had seconds, that says a lot.

Raft Building was a disaster XD it barely floated. We then played volleyball, in a wet rice field. And when there are plants growing, you know there are fertilisers. Elephant dung ftl. Sqmp forest walk after that, which i totally suffered through thanks to having no socks. Your feet keep getting stuck in the mud, and I even had my foot buried so deep it was at my knee level. I'm never going on that walk again.

After that, it's like God is playing with us. We ran out of water. It only returned after dinner. So I had to endure mud and the obvious cold for an hour and half. I chionged dinner when they said you can go bathe after you have eaten and was the first one to step into the toilet. This is not kiasu ok? I was friggin dying in the chilling night.

After that, it was Mdm Tang's module. Building a dream catcher. It was a hard job and it made us learn that people need to take on different roles so achieve a common goal. Tribe 4 was so imba =) I proudly say our dream catcher was the best of the bunch.

MODULE 5: Challenge the Process

Firefly cruise...yep.

Day 4:
Its getting a TAD bit too long so I'll cut the long chase short.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING WAS FRIGGIN HELL. It was a downpour throughout the whole thing, so you can imagine the experience. But at least we made history, by being the first batch to scale Gunung Ahrong in a downpour XD.

Campfire. Standard =D but a great experience nonetheless.

Day 5:
Surprisingly, I was not as tired as I thought I would be on day 1. In fact, I didn't feel the least bit tired. We were released at 2 but I still stayed back for band until 4.30. Tired? I don't think so.


Haha, I really wanted to elaborate on Days 3 to 5 but I really was losing the patience as I had been typing for well over an hour now, so I'm going to conclude it.

VELOCI-T, is a camp I strongly encourage any Victorian to take part in, as Victorians are ultimately leaders, and this camp strongly invokes any Victorian's inner potential, such as I have experienced it. Despite its harsh, tiring and hectic schedule, it really keeps the Victorian Spirit on a high, and that's what matters. =)

Daniel.

Hi guys. Just finished choking on my breakfast. I'm freezing cold, and my nose is blocked.

Today is going to be a stupid day. I'm planning to do my lesson plan right after lunch. And from now till then shall be anime time. Lovely Complex! I'm watching it at a slow-as-snail pace. Thanks to my tight schedule. Watched 2012 yesterday. The plot is sort of unbelievable. Imagine the tectonic plates completely breaking apart and drifting on the ocean before getting sunken by tsunamis. And stable land appearing from under the sea out of the blue after the tsunamis have subsided. It's weird isn't it. -.-

UIP camp on Saturday. I just wish that I'm able to survive through each day of the camp. As you know, camps aren't my thing. Heard from Iskandar that RCY Challenge Camp would be held at the same campsite in Jalan Khairuddin. Like hellll no. Can't we go to the Changi Coast Adventure Camp instead like last year? -.-

Good luck to my buddies for NEmation production! =)
benedict.

No posts yesterday, because I was simply not in the mood to post. This was all due to an extremely emotional ending to an anime series which affected me alot. I can't believe I teared. Alot. .____.. So I figured that by having an early night, the problem will be solved.

WRONG AHH. I wasn't even able to sleep well. I was still tossing and turning in the middle of the night, but somehow I managed to wake at 5.45am. Combined training today was really tiring, but extremely fun. I love the evacuation exercise, it was so realistic! And guess what, Benedict's perfect record of not oversleeping in any form of public transport is ruined. I overslept on 48, like wth. Couldn't help it, I was about to drop dead from lethargy. But it was only 1 stop, which din't really matter. I should have taken 43 instead. mehhh.

I shall continue to neglect my undone homework, and commence with my UIP lesson plan tonight. Or tomorrow. Totally depends on my mood. And I'm not in a particularly good mood now. So we shall see.

Screw busy schedules!
benedict.

I'm going for A-Maths tuition. Waaaaao. I just can't fathom what my parents were thinking. Why MATHS of all subjects to choose from. Not like I'm doing badly for it or anything rightttt. But at least I'm lucky enough that its not HCL tuition I'm going for. -.-

UIP today was crazy, tiring and sorta enjoyable. =X. Came home with an incredibly red face, itchy hair and super messy hair. Period, I shan't elaborate.

And yes, its Saturday night! Which marks the start of... another week of boredom. Or maybe not? I'll be really busy next week though, with all of my undone homework and UIP stuff. But once again busy is nonequivalent to amusing. Which really sucks. I desperately wanna know my class for next year, for no particular reason. I just feel that we don't deserve this kind of suspense. haha.

This is a record.(:. A post everyday for 10 days straight!
benedict. (:

Screw maths. rawwr. I'm just not in the mood to do homework today. So maths time shall be pushed to next week. So there won't any scanning taking place anytime soon. :D Today is just pure PMD spammage. What to do, I'm utterly bored. =.=

UIP tomorrow, so I shall be out the whole freaking day. .___. There is a combined training with TKSS on Monday. =D. I miss parades so frickin much. haha. UIP 3 days 2 nights camp is on next Saturday. I'm hoping that it doesn't kill me. =X I'm getting all my badges on the 23rd, just in time for the camp. But what's missing is the footdrill accred badge. ):

Took on a sudden liking to Kt Tunstall's songs. hahaha. Adult Alternative/Alternative Rock genre. It seems so unlike me to like songs of this genre. But her songs are awesome. :)

I'm still utterly bored.
.____.
benedict.

Tomorrow is the last day of the week. Which marks the end of my whole-week-stay-home-and-bore-to-death excercise! I'm looking to at least finish my maths by tomorrow. Quite impossible, really. I don't have any motivation to even do a quarter of it. So I'll probably only get it 3/4 done. ;P. Veloci-t ends tomorrow by the way. :D

A record! I wasn't online for the whole day today. haha. I basically spent my whole day at Pasir Ris. I blame my boredom. X_x. Yes, so I actually went out today. But apparently a trip to Downtown East ain't enough to fully extinguish my boredom. haha. Planning to watch 2012. Anyone interested in watching with me? :O.

A really short one, I'm feeling sorta tired now. Updates tomorrow!
benedict. =/

I definitely do not deserve any form of humiliation, even IF it was my fault this time. Come on, a 'wanted' poster of me for spreading false information? I don't really care if a million of those posters were made. The worst part is that it has to be sent to all. I am fully aware of whose doing that was, and that person has no rights whatsoever to humiliate me in such a way. Even if I had made a mistake of any sort.

It wasn't entirely my fault to begin with. And I have to take full responsibility for this mess-up? Wait, it wasn't even my responsibility to begin with. Who was the one who was supposed to collate? Not me. Who is supposed to inform? Not me. All I have to do is cmplete the tasks on time. I'm not the Saikang King. I'm not here just to do everything for you, no. But apparently some people love to pick on me for mistakes when I do things for them when they're supposed to do it themselves. I'm nice enough to spread the message, and some people take it for granted. And I'm not talking about who you think I'm talking about, mind you. Even though they may seem ignorant sometimes, they are still nice people.

If you want me to do something, make it reasonable and logical enough. I will never ever ask someone else to do something if I do not have the ability to do so myself. And please, put yourself into our shoes. Take responsibility. And don't cross the line. There are limits.

benedict.


[:EDIT:]
Matter solved. :)

I'm not feeling well now. T^T
I was an insomniac last night.
I blame the splitting headache which lasted from 6pm last evening till now.
And the bloody diarrhea I got when i woke up.
Not to mention the sore left arm and shoulder.
._______________.

I barely had 4 hours of sleep, and to make it worse, it was a cold, cold night, and I was still shivering wide awake under my blanket at 4am in the morning. I couldn't find a way to sleep at all. Daniel messaged me 14 minutes after I turned off my phone. haha. As expected, it was a tiring day for him. Sunburns galore? X_x. Take care ar! Haha speaking of sunburns, eldest sis came home from her flea market sale as red as a lobster, with a serious case of sunburn. Hydrate yourself and put more sunscreen! :)

Die already. Subject combination results are coming out in 3 and a half hours. Maybe that was the cause for my insomnia. Probably. NO CLASS FULL OF STRANGERS PLS T^T

Meanwhile, I'm sick and bored.
benedict.

So yeaaap I got into my first choice subject combination. HURRAY. .__.
Evil people. Why must they make us wait till 2 days before school reopens to know our classes? I wanna know who my new classmates are!

benedict.

Hahahaha, isn't this just cool? I found it on Victoria School's page on Facebook. Copyright to whoever who took this photo. I din't know that VSRCCU looked like that in the early eighties. ;D. And I love how the uniform looked like then. Especially the sewn on ranks! XD.

Went PS for UIP just now, and haha yeah we finished our discussions by 1pm. Way earlier than expected. XD. Subject combination results are coming out tomorrow. Like I had mentioned earlier,the suspense is really killing me. .____.

Just finished rushing my 5 reports and sending them to Zhen Kai. I have been working on them since 5pm, and my head is protesting against the workload. Thanks head, now I've gotta deal with a splitting headache in addition to a sore shoulder and the bloody reports. T^T. Like I said, I'm gonna be busy, but NOT gonna be enthused. .__. I'm leaving the homework to tomorrow, I desperately need a break now. X_x.

wish me luck for tomorrow!
benedict.

Hey peeps, I'm leaving for Plaza Singapura in around 1.5 hours' time for my UIP project, but I'll be back later, at who knows what time. It had better not end in the evening. =X.

I'm so glad that Monday is over. Seriously, I can't imagine myself surviving this week all alone. :/. I doubt that I'm gonna plant a step out of my house after today, right on through to Saturday. Sad to say, the whole of my Saturday is going to be occupied, by UIP contact session 2, thus I can only look forward to Saturday night. haha.

Subject combination results are going to be released tomorrow, and the anxiety is brutally killing me. I don't really care about which combination I get into, so long as I don't get into my third choice subject combination, but what matters to me is the class i get into. Did I not mention this before? X_x. Thinking back a few years ago, in P5, I was put into a class whereby I only knew three people. And in sec one, it resulted in a class full of starangers. @_@. Let's not let lightning strike the third time, shall we?

Even with 1.5 hours left before I leave the house, I'M STILL BORED. -.-
SOMEONE EXTINGUISH MY BOREDOM RAWR.
benedict. :/

today's weather is rather nice, with all the dark clouds and such, but apparently its not nice enough to please Daniel. haha. cos dark clouds mean nothing without lightning, thunder and a nice little downpour. ;).

i have been killing time by doing my maths, and i'm proud to announce that i have only twenty questions left before i can fully push my academics aside. too late for that already, huh. having diarrhea round the clock definitely did not aid me in getting my homework done. and NO I DID NOT SEE A MCSPICY TODAY let alone eat one. Oh, and since Daniel is gone till Friday (grah make it Saturday), prepare to see a mass of white words over at this space till he comes back. have fun Daniel! XD

i'm bored bored bored. what to do? i'm already sick of doing homework. saturday night COME QUICK! ;D

save meeeeee.
benedict. ._.

i've just had my share of pure ignorance. somebody has decided to go all out with that don't care attitude right in my face. to think i'm still conversing with him, pehh. if he doesn't wanna cooperate, then fine. it has nothing to do with me anyway. just that his attitude is pissing me off. :/

woke up today with a terribly sore neck and left arm. not to mention a splitting headache. at least i got to sleep for 10 hours. got dragged to the vet's place at 11, just half an hour before i woke. -.-. miki's butt infection turned out to be serious and she was required to undergo surgery =/. she's staying over at the vet's place till tomorrow.

subject combination results are coming out on wednesday. hope i dont end up in a class full of strangers. again. hope that the 9 sub AEP students would be in the same class as the 8 sub non-AEP students taking the same combinations though :/. then i'll be in the same class as Daniel ;D. grahh i haven't bought my stuffs for school next year yet. we shall see about that next week.

tomorrow's veloci-t, and the beginning of the week which would see me suffer at home all alone. cancel out tuesday though.

benedict ._.

mixed feelings about UIP. =/. first impression was: haha you're kidding me. ima die here sooner or later. the level of discipline there is uber high. =/. but the instructors are still very nice people.

strained my left shoulder/neck. the whole stretch hurts like hell when i move it. therefore it is now temporarily immobile. i have no idea how doing footdrills could lead to shoulder/neck pains. i can kiss goodbye to sleeping in late tomorrow, thanks to dear miki's butt infection. -.-. plus i'm guessing that i'm required to wrestle with her tomorrow, so i'm ready to bid my shoulder/neck farewell. T^T.

next week is going to be a boring week. or not. thanks to veloci-t i would be spamming my holiday homework. not to mention going to plaza singapura to do UIP project with my groupmates on tuesday. and then 2nd contact session on saturday, which clashes with project red cross love, which i won't be attending. and then its our combined training. ok, its gonna be a busy week, but being busy does not mean that i'll be enthused in whatever i'm doing. =/

benedict. screw my schedule. =/

one moar dayyyy. before my training marathon finally comes to an end. and two days before veloci-t begins. ima be lonely next week too, Daniel. =/. which means i'll prolly finish my holiday homework by the end of next week. ;D. training marathon has to end with a full-day instructors programme requiring me to wear my full uniform. which is still unironed btw. boots not polished. and i has no beret. rawr. diedie. and ima be embarrassed. haha what do you call a Corporal with only a Health Law Badge? nuuuuuuuub. ._. cos i havent received my evac, total defence, and first aid badge. =/. screww.

and yeah Daniel, screwwww IP. ima be bored too. T^T. why cant the training marathon be held next week instead. meh. combined training with TKSS RCY on 23rd november. wow. cant wait? haha. thats gonna be our first training in a longlong time.

screww haha ima go back to play PMD. i graduated! ;D
benedict. =/

Prepare for a super uber long explanation.

One fine day, animagine called a certain Mr Zabid telling that Daniel could not make it for the first three days of NEmation due to camp. Unfortunately, this was a horrible miscommunication. Other than the fact that Daniel was missing NEmation for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day, the camp was not actually a camp. Doh. It was a musical exchange with Nan Chiau High School. Mr Zabid thought that this camp was referring to VELOCI-T, the leadership camp, so he pulled Daniel out of it. Daniel's angry mob in the form of his mother wrecked Mr Zabid's brains out on the phone and he had a long talk with Daniel afterward. In the end, Daniel was still to continue going to VELOCI-T but he'll have to choose between band and NEmation.

After persuasion from the band teachers (ironically), Daniel decided to go for NEmation instead as it was on a national scale and the music exchange had no competitive elements, or so it was supposed to be. Thus, Daniel will help his team and give his full co-operation in the production of the minute long animation, but will still miss the opportunity to pwn some Nan Chiau asses.

Get the story? -_-

All in all, most of the things are sorted out. Heading off for camp this Monday, let's all have a good time =). See lar Benedict, cause of your stupid ip, u can't go for VELOCI-T. T_T I'll be a lonely guy for next week.

Off to pack my bag...later.
Daniel ._.

i dont think that im gonna make it through these four days without falling sick once. @_@. i feel so fatigued, and im not getting enough rest. bleh.

had waterbomb today. =/. i forgot to bring extra undergarments, so... bleh they werent even wet anyway. gonna have waterbombing tomorrow again. with NCC(Sea). and i dont think that i'll like it. =O. went old folks' home today, somewhere in bedok. swept the floor, mopped it, and entertained them. -.-. crapped in white sands. again. khairul bought twilight. what a surprise. -.-. i was staring at hmi deciding whether i should buy or not. in the end mom told me to buy in sengkang's popular. =O.

i think i injured my ankle. pain stuff. it hurts whenever i walk. T^T. strained my thigh. gahh what the heck.

heres to another crappy two days. =/
benedict. paiiiiiiiin. >.<

Seems band room won't be open again today, I guess it's the start of another day of utter boredom. As if it wasn't screwed already yesterday. The boredom was so much that I didn't read, jumped from anime to anime -_-lll and by the time I found a good one, it was 12am today already. So I'm not ashamed to say that I wasted a day of my youth away.

Slept at 3.45am again today. Was stuck to Kaze no Stigma. It's good, the relationship is actually pretty interesting to watch. The girl has a short temper but the guy has total dominance, something you don't see everyday! But even then I had trouble falling asleep afterward. Hadda on my phone radio b4 i could enter the other realm...

Haha, it's almost 11. So late, yet I didn't get my precious 8 hours of sleep. Should I nap later? meh. Looking forward to another day being wasted by rotting at home.

I'm bored, save me.
Daniel =/

page 200 of Compulsion! another 150++ more to go. =/. and freaking pmd, i'm still stuck at graduation. D:

ima say farewell to my beloved computer, for four days at least. D:. and say hello to a wide range of physical activities. verbal ones too. its gonna be a tiring remainder of the week, at least for me.

wed: day camp
thurs: day camp
fri: combined training
sat: UIP 1st contact session

chances are that i'll be knocked out by the time i reach home, so you peeps probably wont catch me online. or will you? i shall allow yall to miss me. ;D.

good luck for yer subject combis, results out on the 18th. ;D

What would you do if you really wanted to go for something yet the person in charge is so pessimistic that he thinks the world is out to get him.

I said i'll go if I knew the time.
I wanted to go for it.
For myself, for the school.
The response I get is nothing more irritating I have ever heard.
"I won't force person to go if he doesn't like me."
This not only pushes the blame away from him, and now it is my fault. He thinks he knows my thoughts, go ahead. I'm sick of this screwing around and unless something about that attitude of his changes, we won't get anyway. I'm still trying my best, it's just up to him whether my labour will bear any fruit.

Love your neighbours, that a godly commandment, and I won't break that i guarantee. I will not dislike you, it's just up to you to decide.

Giving up is not an option.

Hi. I'm the new guy in town. I'm sleepy, wet and unbuttoned, it's tragic really. Even sitting down is screwing my mind over. I need to rest.

But the good news is that I'm not pissed anymore =) It's just up to the other party whether they still want to continue to screw with me, which i don't recommend.

Cheers!

UIP is backkkkk! which means no open house. =C. i seriously wanna go open house really badly. but i guess that it cannot be helped. ._.

another day wasted at home. or not? at least i get to do part of my homework. haha yep, part of. saving the best for last, my brain will actually only work near the end of the holidays. ima spam Compulsion later on, its a really awesome book. i'm aiming to at least finish it by this week. ;D

finished 1/4 of the maths homework just nao. i dint bother attempting to do some, apparently i've forgotten how to do them. x_X. hope i can get my sec 3 books by this week. and i've yet to purchase my smecksy long white pants. XD. speaking of that. i have to write an email to TJC. but howwww. ive never written such an important document from scratch before. they give you a topic, address and information in school's situational writing whereas in this case you havta figure out the situation by yourself. do it wrongly and BOOMZ. -.-

ima go read Compulsion naoooo. =P
benedict.

i feel so bloody lethargic today. maybe its because of the 11 hours of sleep i got in just one day. 37.5 degree temperature yesterday night was driving me nuts. zz. and i thought i was gonna fall sick. woke up this morning all sweaty and with a throbbing head. @.@

just so-called completed the longest ever pokemon battle in the history of my life. it had to end up with that bloody zapdos struggling itself to death. wasted 15 quick balls, 50 ultra balls and 40 dusk balls. and 2 and a half hours of my life. i fell asleep for half an hour tho. -.-

i feel utterly lonely today. where the hell is my company. zzz.
T^T

went tampines mall just nao, splurged on MYUK wallet. then went bugis and bought a converse tee. zz. then proceeded to library to borrow some of my favourite crime fiction novels =D. john kellerman books FTW =DD. but ohhhh the woes of due dates. ._.



on the bright side, hey, i finally got out of my house right?

benedict. =/

nah. going out for movie later at 1pm. then for dinner. so basically my whole day is gone. except that i'm free now.

got pissed off last night via MSN. by what and by who? being a nice and forgiving person, i shall not tell. =D. that person ought to get a taste of his own nasty medicine. =P. RC unit day camp on wednesday and thursday, like i previously mentioned. just hope that there wont be heritage trail. =/.

miki had constipation last night. i shant go into details and describe how i got the shit outta her butthole, but gosh it was messy. and stinky.

here's to another day of suckishness.
benedict.

blehhh. restrictions suck. don't yall agree with me? 5 hours is never enough. ._.

just realised that the subject combination sumbission dateline has been extended. by a pathetic half an hour. the school people are really dumb. what difference could half and hour possibly make? especially if the dateline was due in the early morning.

selected triple science geog elect as 1st choice. triple science hist elect for 2nd choice. double science pure geog hist elect for 3rd choice. jus hope that i wont get the third one. i'll DIEEE. ._.

laughing at katy perry's interruption to the nominees of best urban artiste. XD. KANYE, im really happy that you got nominated, ima let you finish, but this is the best interruption of all time, OF ALL TIME! XDDDDDD. she rocks ahahaha.

todays gonna SUCK. seriously. =O



I'd like to make myself believe, that Planet Earth turns slowly.

not going UIP anymore. haha. apparently the quota was full already. so that means one less camp to attend. is that supposed to be good or bad? =X. camps officially starts next week, with the unit non-residential camp on wed/thurs. and theres a home visit on friday. D:. combined training with CHIJ Toa Payoh on thursday. and then with TKSS (=O) sometime later. and luckily RCY challenge is still on. haha. whole sec 2 batch is going. :D

the weather these few days have been plain horrible. -.-. i got drenched returning home today. and marcus and i were pangseh-ed by khairul today. cos he didnt bring his DS(?) and felt left out. whooooops. =X. was planning to go macs at white sands with them originally, but since khairul disappeared into thin air, that all changed. xD.

another lonely day tomorrow.
._.

the talk was realy uninformative. and not to mention really boring. zz. oh and i submitted my subject combination already. i'd better get into VS2A. i had this stupid dream that i could not get into VS2A, cos my score of 73.1 was too low, and the last student to get in had an average score of 73.2. O.O. thats just plain... dumb. -.-

red cross later, at 11.15am. camp next week, wednesday ad thursday. first UIP contact session is on open house day. so no open house for me. =C. then camp from 28th to 30th november. RCY challenge camp is from 17th to 20th december. then my overseas trip is somewhere between 23rd to 28th december. which means no christmas for me. ;-;. what a hectic holiday schedule, just the way i like it. ;D.

i'm already half decided, that i would stay in VS. but there are conditions, of course. if parents think that my results are affected by my CCA, i would have to step down. =(. and i would have to manage my time very well. and most importantly get my ass into VJC. blehh. im confident that i can do it though. anyone supports me?

whyyy is the world so small huh. wonder if i ever mentioned this. =X. daniel's cousin is ex-classmate vivian's squadmate. =X. bah neverminds, i'll be seeing them at RCY challenge camp in december. haha.

TA talk later. i dont feel like going. the sight of that place just puts me off. but judgement day is tomorrow, and if i dont attend the talk, the decision would be pretty obvious. but as if the decision wasnt already obvious right from the start. bleh. i dont wanna leave. ;-;. you can now ignore all my past posts which mentioned that i am really desperate to get into IP. and consider this new fact that i am really desperate to stay in VS instead. 2 years is a really short period of time, and i feel that i have not accomplished what i wanted to go there for yet. so there. =P.

what a dreadful day it was yesterday. =.=. it was the most boring thing ever to sit in front of the computer. so i went to read dead before dark. my restlessness only allowed a grace period of 20 pages before it drove me crazy. X_x.

I WANNA PLAY LUNIA X_x
benedict.

had a stupid moment yesterday night. shant talk about it. =/

but before that it was an awesome day :D. had red cross, and iskandar and i were selected to go for the Unit Instructors Programme :D. zhen kai also going. i cant believe im going for the footdrill one. XD. iskandar got OA. gg alr. ahaha. went to bedok interchange macs for lunch with midgets. ate mcchicken, mcspicy really puts me off. gave all my game slips to marcus. bleh. sentosa cove just wont appear huhh.

met kenneth at the mrt platform. haha. then daniel came 2 minutes after we arrived. =D. sat at the platform to kill time for around 15 minutes with DS iPod and PSP. =P. took train all the way to Aljunied, they had NEmation and i had a straight bus home from there so why not. xD. wandered around the MRT station and busstop for another 5~10 mins, before 80 came followed by 62. =O then its byebye. haha. reached home around 1 hour later. blehh.

anyways what happened last night really was depressing. i'm starting to lose hope already, cos some people are really stubborn. and why am i given the job of convincing? they should be supportive instead. =| the final decision is going to be made on thursday. id better be allowed to stay, if not the UIP would be soooo wasted.

rawr lets meet up again someday. =C

what a memorable last day of my lower secondary life. as reference to the previous post, i'm not ready to say that this is my last schoolday in VS. i'm not gonna say that till 2 years later.

finished school at 10.45am today, took MRT to white sands for lunch with midgets and derek for lunch. marcus derek and i had mcspicy lar. get ready for stomachache. >.<. bloody hell marcus finished the monster without consuming any liquids. wtf lar. left macs at around 12+? then went to window shop. =X. comics connection =D. i want the DSi! or the PSP. rawr. but i want VS moar. =D. crapped in popular. kh was dancing to some HSM shit. X_X. browsed sec three textbooks. really thick lar, wondering if my bags gonna tear next year. and what the hell? im required to learn econs next year in IP? another reason not to go there. suxxxxors.

left for home at 1.30 with derek. bleah. and here i am now.

RESLUTS.
totally ruined by the bloody B4 for chinese. the rest are 5 A1s and 4 A2s. still okay lar. class position is 11. X_x missed out on top 10 again. zz. meh not like i'm gonna care. =D. im just wondering if ima see my wonderful friends again. ._.

bLEAH.

ive made up my mind.
its gonna be VS or rebellion i tell you. RAWR.

and tomorrow had better not be my last school day in VS. i will NOT let that happen, no. its too soon to say goodbye.

andand some people dont get it. i dont want any fancy PSPs, iPods, or whatever gadgets. theyre all worthless compared to what i really want. and if you wanna show stubborness, i'll show you stubborness. you have no idea.

T-T omg emo. T-T.

T-T. cant my parents withdraw already? or are they gonna drag it so long that i wont be able to withdraw anymore? i dont know whats going on in their minds. and HAHA. my maths paper 2 got full marks. i was shocked. still am.

FA duty tomorrow. teachers said that its compulsory for me to run. RC said its not. i'm so confused. X_x. but i think ima run anyways, cos i dun think i can withdraw last minute.

RAWRR IM SO GLAD.
bENEDICT

irritating questions that i cant rid of.
pressure that i cant cope with.
i'm dying. T^T

*riiiip*.
thats my lifeline. ._.

blardy hell. just came back from cold storage empty-handed. =C. mr khor hadda ask me to go buy stuff for our CIP tomorrow. extremely great thanks to kenneth =D and derek =D for helping me out. if not i sure die de.

heres what we managed to snag:
2 cans of lychees
2 bars of chocolate
2 mango puddings -.-
2 tins of sugary danish biscuits
2 tins of pringles.

AND WE STILL NEED:
2 jars of frezfruta blackcurrant jam =C
2 bottles of fairprice rose syrup =C.

results day was baddd. okay not really. 49/50 for maths paper 2 was a pleasant surprise. =D. but 30/50 for P1 really sucks. another one was english, 74.5. -.- BLARDY HALF MARK TO A1. which makes me third for english. haha. chinese zomg 68.5 i finally broke the B4/C5 curse. thanks compo, which got highest in class, again. -.-

blardy history got 67. ima get slaughtered. HAHA science? =X. id rather shuddup. T-T 4 more days till school ends! IM SO GOING TO MISS YOU GUYS. yall are the most awesome people i have ever met in my life! ^^

loneliness is murderous. i’m definitely a victim.

rant post gah i realy hate this.

do you like it when someone stares at your computer screen while you are using it? many would say its plain rude right. some people beg to differ. they think that if you're not doing anything shameless online it would be alright for people to look as long as they like and comment on whatever you're doing. problem is its not about whatever you're doing online but its about how irritating and rude it is to do just that.

thats not the worst part. you get a lecture free too, when you tell them how you feel. fine, i shall shut up and let you stare all you like, if that is what you want. then you'll really know how i feel without me telling you. you'll know lot more too. just be careful not to know too much.

100th post =O.

thank goodness my arm stopped hurting. but gawwd its friggin sore. ima die at training tomorrow T^T.

marking day's the most sian day ever. spam TTT all day, since i have nothing better to do. and YES ive been neglecting my DS. sorry. XD.

im wondering if my parents are intentionally not bringing up The Issue so that i wont have enough time to withdraw from The College if they drag it long enough. i have this uneasy feeling about it. and my hunches are always right 75% of the time. =/. ill feel so screwed if that really happens. WATCH ME DIEEEE RAWR.

accred this saturday. ._. bet that imma fail, badly. i dont have enough brain capacity to cram already. thanks so much EOYs. ughh.

ohwells back to TTT. -.-

can someone amputate my right arm? make it quick. =X. im getting giddy too.

what has the horrors of The Computer done to me ohgosh. i just hope i can get used to this. ill take a day off computering tomorrow if necessary. T.T

its over. like finally.
but i think i screwed up summary epicly.

guess what i did once i got home. -.- was watching clannad. surprise surprise? thanks daniel for getting me hooked but the internets not helping. come on la there's something seriously wrong if an episode buffers for 13 minutes for it to finish loading. thats why im blogging now.

and guess what just pissed me off. you dont have to look as far as AFTER THIS LINE. zz.

BLEAHS
bENEDICT

history was a total screw-up. and i’m somehow expecting science to be another kick in my ass. IM FEELING SO SCREWED-UP RIGHT NOW, i cant get those freaking chemical formulas into my throbbing head. and screw bio, the transport in plants is showing me to my grave. i cant believe im so messed up right now. itll be a miracle if i make it through alive tomorrow.

post exam activity schedule is out, and its HELL i tell you. frisbee inter-class? pehhh. cross-country? FA duty, im certain of that. which also means less exercise. but i dont have to worry about that with the amount of push-ups we are gonna get.

GAWWWWD im not in the mood to post so there shall be an abrupt end.

 

 

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

EOYs can go and die for all i care. =P. i just cant wait till AFTER EOYs. gosh what fun we shall have. lmao.

things are smooth sailing for me, EL compo was BLEAHHH and maths was BLEAHH. paper one was quite difficult, but paper 2 no kick one. XD. the ‘benedict and daniel study after each exam for 2 hrs’ programme is working well haha. just choinged 2 chapters of history in school. my right hand is sooooo tired. help. zz.

i dunno whats wrong with me today. i was smiling and laughing to myself for unfathomable reasons during maths paper 2. maybe my instincts instructed me to ridicule the …er… ridiculous questions. lmfao. went home at 1.05pm, lunchless. –.-. daniel overslept and missed his stop lmao. thats what you get when 53 arrives 5 seconds before 27. hahaha.

sian. chinese paper 1 tomorrow, history on wednesday. PEs on wednesday too. –.- who cares im gunna flunk the shit outta the PE paper. xD.

 

STUDAIII. bENEDICT.

i had this sudden urge to blog. =X.


apparently 'take-a-break' day turned out to be really wrong. i still ended up studying. i've been doing that for the whole week now. the thing about me is that i cant study at night. i lose concentration really easily then. might even fall asleep. =X. so here i am. and i can proudly declare that i am done with my fairly-short physics revision. -.-. just hope that i can manage to regurgitate whatever i have memorised onto that piece of nature killer. ugh.

almost done with history, just chapter 7 and i'm done. SEQs are murderous, really. thanks to them i can barely even write anymore. my wrist hurts like shit, and it looks like shit too. all the veins in my right wrist are popping out. and do i have to mention the bruises...? i cant even wear my watch without feeling pain. >.<

went on a around pasir-ris tour today, thanks to some smart thinking by derek haha. took MRT to pasir ris with marcus and khairul. actually we could have just stayed at the white sands bus stop and waited for the 89 to come and take us home, but NO haha we walked all the way to the back gate of marcus' condo and spotted 89. and wow we ran the last 150 metres to the bus stop. i was practically cursing under my breath ugh. so in the end we boarded the bus (a BIG MISTAKE) all sweaty. not just that, my whole right arm was hurting like shit. and the bus was like an oven can, the air-con was spewing hot air right into our faces. xD.

reached home, bathed, studied history chapter 8, and fell asleep while doing so. =X. for around and hour maybe? i was damn lethargic X.X. then woke up and finished my hstory 2008. watched TV, had dinner, and here i am now.

pfft i think im gonna lose another 4 more kilograms just right before school ends. and after that i'll lose even more weight. and i have this feeling that im about to get sick real soon. 37.3 degrees for a temperature ain't particularly healthy.


HELP.

EOYs are here. EPIC. must mug.

lol.

forgot to off my phone for the whole time i was at home oops =X. scary sia. i went downstairs to buy a pen and luckily those prefects din't check my pockets. damn that was a close shave.

cramming history into my head now. TT its really hard. took 1.5 hours to analyse and understand chapter 4, tts how NUUUB i am, =D.

I SWEAR ill watch TTT after eoys end. thanks daniel for the link! xD


P.S. here comes the real hiatus ._.

why the hell is everyone making me so miserable. i haven’t had a good fit in a long time, and you wouldnt want that to happen.

i feel like my whole life is being controlled, like seriously. no privacy, no freedom of choice. is it a must that i give a very valid reason for my choice. how does I<3VS sound to you? zz. yeah, why would anyone care. all people can think of is good education and good head starts. whatever, i dont have a say in it anyways.

INEEDSUPPORT not for people to go against things that i wanna do.

RAWR.

**the number of page views soared after last night. hmm? you people are really desperate for me to post huh.

TT. i'll be hiatusing. maybe till next year.

MISS ME RAWR.

bENEDICT

theres only a day left before school starts. i could wait. now theres something worth celebrating about, half my nose is unblocked! left nostril is still clogged though.

guess what? the cockroach came back yesterday night with a vengeance, flying from one curtain to the next. and this time my sis was also inside the room with me. and then theres total failure in trying to kill that thing, because by the time we got the baygon the cockroach was nowhere to be found. -.- so this morning my mom did a 'seal-up-the-room-and-spam-baygon-and-let-the-freaking-thing-die' invasion. dunno whether if its still alive. xD.

went onto MSN at around 12.55am last night/this morning, beacause i was waiting for my sis to come out of the toilet so that i can brush my teeth. anyways i was also doing her a favour as i knew that she would be using the computer afterward anyway. chatted with daniel for an entertaining 30++ minutes till 1.27am when he logged out and so did i. and dear sis was still in the bathroom. doing what? i dunno. so i went to my bed and listened to my ipod. and fell asleep. -.-. then i woke up and i fell asleep again. i stared at the clock and it read 2.00am. i was like wth was she doing inside the toilet for close to 2 hrs. zz. so i slept at 2.30am. the end.

and i woke up at 8am. hehe. still considered early as noone had waken up yet. pardon the horrible english, i am in no mood to correct it now. finished my home ec 1st thing i woke up. apparently doing hw once you wake up is really effective; your mind is really active. well mine actually, dunno about you guys.

now i have not been publicising this blog for ages, and the audience has died away. not like i care anyways. actually it actually moves me to write more whenever i know someone is reading, hence the web counter. so far all the numbers there can be ignored, as the number there is the number of times i have viewed this page. yes, its really that devastating.

don't recognise the face in the mirror looking back at you...

3rd post of the day. i really could not help it.

stupid haze. turned me from a perfectly (not quite) normal human being to one who cannot even breathe through his own nose. its all clogged up with mucus. and my throat is clogged up with phlegm. and there also has been frequent abdominal pains. >.< what have i become? ugh. luckily monday is a holiday, so i should be able to recover then.

ahh all i smell is smoke currently. and i feel sorta fragile.

WHAT IS FREAKING WRONG WITH ME.

im the only guy online now at 8.18am. where are you people?

sian.

slept at 230am this morning, just after a HUUUGE filthy cockroach invaded the privacy of my bedroom. it mysteriously disappeared after some dramatic whacking from mom and dad. lol.

woke up 49 mins ago, at 659am. strange again. since when was i able to cope with 4.5h of sleep? now that's a first. oh and did i mention i woke up with a sore gum and runny nose and had phlegm all over my throat? i was even shivering under the blanket la.

finished my maths tuition work in the 49 mins though. thats the point of waking early.

awwshh shud have logged on at mn shud i have known that daniel was online. -.-'''

bENEDICT

let us review what happened yesterday! IT WAS BIZARRE I TELL U.

stayed in class from 1.40 to around 2. never done it before.
had fish burger whilst walking to bus stop with khairul and marcus.
threw remaining piece into bin when i spotted 48.
survived on liquid during recess.
reached home at 3.20pm, which is really early.
did not drink a single cup of water till 5+, then drank second cup at 6+.
DID NOT SMILE FROM 1.50PM to 10PM. (8hrs 10mins)
had temperature of 37.3 degrees.
teared when i saw Juan Martin Del Potro lift US open trophy. (wth?)
got hooked on Discovery Channel for 2hrs.
started doing history paper at 9pm, and completed 1 question in 45 mins time.














then came the time when i saw this on the class blog:

Daniel: hi

Anon5845: Daniel you suck shit

Gkanda: anon what is wrong with you? Daniel only said hi and you insult him?

Anon0702: he is a retard

BENEDICTling: whoever said that sucks more shit. dont you people have anything better to do? go fly a kite or do something more productive la.

kennethc: ok ok! why is it that some people have to come here everyday and pass these comments? what are you? some lab rat is it? living in isolation all alone and the only thing you can use to "socialise" is the internet? why do you say daniel sucks shit? honestly, i bet thats the only thing that comes to your mind because you socialise with shit, thus you really deeply understand the true meaning of shit. i can advise you on something. why not save your internet bills?
step 1: stop insulting others others online and turn off your computer.
step 2: go and shit, and take that poop and suck it in front of a mirror.
step 3: take down notes on how you suck shit.
------------------------------------
there you go, you save cost and guess what its twice the fun and its LIVE! go try it today. (only applicable to shit socializers)

like wth. another flaming session. anw this phails to surprise me XD. dunno why daniel has always been a target of these anon freaks. apparently he's too nice. haha. so theres a short lived flaming session. i blocked that anonfreak. =D. and im not planning to unbock him anytime soon. or maybe i should, so that we can all see his reaction to kenny's post. who wouldn't want to? XD

smell ya laters. gotta start workin on HG.


ugh and i hate missing VS and all my friends. who wouldn't?

bENEDICT<3 VS

UGH i think im about to go crazy. staying at home is really driving me crazy. Id rather study at school till 6 before going home. another reason is that NOONE WANTS TO GO EMD WITH ME. if i dont go then i might never see daniel perform again. wait i never did see him perform. i only saw him playing his clarinet during red cross :D

essayys are coming up. then 3 weeks later is farewell day. i swear i'll be back to visit you people though.

LONG WEEKEND IS COMING. ohmy. im going to rot at home mugging. T..T.

great, to add on to the homework pile, there is going to be another two trainings this week on thursday and friday. i can't help but to wonder how i'm gonna get my work done without tiring myself out and getting whacked on the head by furious parents and teachers when they find out that this bad boy hasn't been doing his homework. well you can't blame me on that part. blame the computer. :). like what i mentioned earlier, none of my remaining 2 holiday homeworks (there were originally 5, i finished 3 of them. see how hardworking i am. XD.) can be done with my dad's desktop. haha.

i am so looking forward to friday i tell you. no, not the meet and greet and do exercises with the old folks session. ohwell you'll find out when i post on friday.

mehh i doubt anyone visits this damn old place anyways. i'd figure that this piece of crap url is relatively unknown amongst people. meh. who cares anyways.

bENEDICT.

yeppies, this is the 200th post of my blogging 'career', and the 80th for this very blog. starting off with some criticism here, that some people just don't get how nice the blog committee members (especially me and kenneth since the rest of them are really inactive) are! we are nice enough to post your homework on the class blog and here some people are complaining that it is dead. just put yourselves in our shoes, and you all should know how it feels like to administrate a class blog and update the class of whatever homework there is when they should already have jotted it down in their journal already.:)

haha. ok. i was just amused by the 3 huge sweat patches Serena Williams has got on her tennis dress. 2 humongous ones under her armpits and 1 even larger one on her back. hilarious. and i can't believe that her sister got beaten. again. ohwells.

M*** FA** L***. the best place on earth. its so good, that it feels like heaven on earth. or hell. remember my posts last year regarding our CIP? well hell yeah we're going there again. but this time its without khairul and marcus, and without the measle attendance, cos apparently the sec ones are tagging along. just hope its not just as horrible.

does 35 days seem very long? ohwell better make it slow down.
bENEDICT.

why must the computer screen choose to blank out on me, of al times, now? HGSS is coming out this Friday, and apparently the current computer i'm using (Windows 7 btw) is unable to decompress RAR files. and holiday homework. HOW THE HELL am i going to complete my chinese with a computer that disallows input of chinese characters, and uneqipped with a printer. what a stressful situation. ugh.

anyways, school is ending on the 30th of October. which is like in less than 2 months time and 35 schooldays minus public holidays and school holidays. which means that i only get to step into VS for lessons on weekdays to meet my friends for 35 times (or less) before i bid farewell to Mother Victoria. sad. why cant VS merge with VJC before i came so that i can stay? meh. right. they're splitting instead. gah that doesnt cncern me anyways.

hm. gotta ask daniel to send me HGSS when it comes out if i cant get a new monitor by next friday. and if that happens thenit means trouble for me, which means that two of my holiday homework will be left incomplete.

SCREW YOU MONITOR.

bENEDICT

er. whats up with the dashboard. its all screwed. which means no photos. aww.

anyways, i did better than i expected for my CA this time round. although the CHEM marks are not favourable. at least 3 80> marks would make up for it. =D. and and EOYs are here soon. dangged. and i seriously got screwed by home ec. there is noway i can finish sewing the bear before the sept break! and worst case scenario:i will flunk home ec. and when that happens... =X. i dont even feel like talking about it. but i'll say it anyways. worst case scenario again: i'll get kicked out of TA and go to... er. nvms.

i WANT MY IN-EARS! freaking ipod earpieces wont fit into my irregularly-shaped earlobes.

bENEDICT.

there is a thief amongst us.
who is it?

dang. thanks to that i cannot even enjoy my last few months in VS in peace. *rolls eyes*. the infamous case is back to haunt, and i just wonder...

ten dollars, two dollars and two handphones and i'm so not taking risks please. as far as i am concerned its gonna be spare phone for the weekdays.

moving on to better stuff, marcus had his VIP interview phase today. aww poor marcus apparently got laughed at maybe because he was too cute. XD. anyways the interview was described as 'weird' and short. fancy missing a good 2 hours of red cross for that.

bENEDICT

yay i'm back.

and i got into TA and got rejected by VIP. bittersweet much. already trying to plan my journey to TJ, and so far things are looking good. gosh why do i have to stay in sengkang anyways. grats to tim for making it to VJC interviews anyway. i'm gonna bet marcus' gonna make it. from now on, i guess you'll only see me posting during the weekends, cos its time to start studying. or maybe when i'm too lazy to post you might even experience another long hiatus. so good luck and GOODBYE!

i was a screw-up at one point. :O

how efficient!

i don't CAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


















any longer. :)





















































































































































and that felt good.:D

tomorrow is the interview. how? i think i'm gonna suck at it and end my IP campaign. >.<. and i have heard rumours (cos i don't have proper evidence) that there is speech day rehearsal on friday. omgwtfbbq. all i can say is that all those people are out of their mind. anyways our outing @ arena is not gonna get ruined by this, i hope. cos its not confirmed yet.

i had just requested for a 'sample question' of the interview tomorrow, and my answer was, 'name one piece of world news that you are most interested in and explain why.' once again, omgwtfbbq. i know people would go 'H1N1!' and such. but if that's the case then probably 99% of the applicants would say it. so maybe i'll go for recession or north korea. (which i know nothing about so eventually i'll still go back to H1N1). or maybe i can just hope and pray hard that none of such questions would come out. and to think, that if i made it through the interview, i would be in IP. so rewarding. XD. anyways i don't think i can even make it for VJC. well just look at the 500++ applicants, and that ridiculously difficult maths paper that caught me off guard, causing me to only complete three questions that i'm confident of getting correct on.

I NEED SOMETHING TO BOOST MY CONFIDENCE.

yo peeps.

i was uberly shocked to receive this very email:

Dear Applicant,



Congratulations! Youhave been shortlisted for the interview phase of the TA selection process. Details of your interview session are as follows:

well over the moon is not an appropriate way to describe how i felt. more like shocked and surprised la. cos i finally advanced to a so called 'second round' of school admission w/o using PSLE score but pure brains in the aptitude test. and now... i have no idea what to say during the interview. i bet they will ask some retarded questions like what is your hobby? how do you spend your time at home? what sports do you play? what do you like to do most? and such. which i have totally no answers to. sian.

well i figured that i can LIE. :D.


bENEDICT

THAT.





















was the funnest and bestest camp i've ever had in my life. and i really feel like going back. and i have to address you peeps on the hiatus again. i was just too lazy to post #71 and total post count #191. :D. personally i feel the umbrella dance was damned nice la.

short post. cos i tired already. X(.

C11 peeps, seeya on friday anyways. :D

haha okay this might sound contradicting, but my progress with hw is going pretty well. maths and OPW are all complete, but the rest are still status quo.

hmm. we have a camp briefing on friday for the RHYA community camp, and *surprise surprise* its held at my mom's office. what convenience/a coincidence. and i need some help with my EL homework. as you already know i am artistically retarded, and goodness they had to put such activities not meant for artistic retards like me in the EL reading workbook. just to give us a hard time heh. ohwell. i can't do that now anyways, i don't have any of the books stated in the list.

anyways, this is old news, but my VIP and TA applications are pretty much complete. now i must wait for the test results and (hopefully) progress to the interviews. am trying for DHS too.

i love ipods.

pheew. progress on my work sure has been slow.

so far:

Maths: 75%
OPW: 50%
Science: 0%
Chinese: 15%
and not forgetting the ever last-minute English: 0%.

true, this is not a shocker. everyone else is like that too. like the band people. haha they have to stay back...like everyday? and i heard that they are going to chiong band Musical World. (speaking of this, APOLOGIES to VSCB, i have to attend my camp briefing till goodness knows how late, and it wouldn't be nice to be late anyways)

anyways, i was just reading my past few posts, and reality sure is contradicting. remember how i said that my science=hopeless? well it turned out to be my best scoring subject. and about literature. haha. i din't expect to get an A1 for that either. what a joke. and maths. well, i thought it was a walk in the park, seriously. i did not expect to do so badly. (curses last question which totally stumped me)

bloody hell. we still have to do a dry run for the heritage trail that i'm not going, and the rest are still dilly-deli-ing on when they are free. i really don't have that much free time, and they are refusing to even reply to me SMSes. whatta joke.

and poor zhenkai has to go for SANA at SENGKANG SQUARE. alone i think. coming all the way from bedok to sengkang. lol, i could recall him emo-ing when he has to go home alone from sengkang secondary school after last year's first aid comp. :P ahh memories...

oh s@#$ i needa continue with maths.
oh s@#$ again i've run outta paper.
meh.






speaking of which, it feels great to be back and posting long posts such as this!

hey, guess what.
















































IM BACK.
duh. what else.
after this uber long 'MIA' session, i'm finally back with more updates. check this space!

WHAT a disappointing maths result, yet what a pleasing mother tongue result. I CAN'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT I DID BETTER IN MT THAN MATHS. 66 for HCL and 59 for maths. this will not do. i would certainly have to get 3 more A1s. for geography, science and either EL/lit. i can tell you, lit is impossible. looks like i'm set for another mediocre performance. SIGHHH.

anyways. IM SO ADDICTED TO DIGIMON. yep its true. people would not believe how childish i am. but that's me, so just accept it. i have my own circle of friends too.:P.

and JAMES MORRISON and SARA BAREILLES' songs rock man. if only they would duet together. it would be such a soothing melody la. ANDAND im going for my leadership training camp. FIVE DAYS stay-in camp man. where we learn to plan stuff and such. gosh cant wait.zzz

bENEDICT.

im so tired of doing such stuff.

ugh this is gross. what would you think, if someone were to start a cold war with you? i am fed up with this, thus the one who started it should end it. you know what- i don't give a damn anymore. i need to concentrate on my studies-92 marks to 77 ain't any joke. i was referring to maths just to let you know. thanks a lot, 2 straight fails in a row. on the brighter side, i am progressing well with my other subjects. especially literature. i am starting to understand poems more now, thus i would expect to see a significant pass, not a 15/30 kinda pass. i hope. and science = hopeless. physics takes up 64% of the exam. which is weird. and i cant recall much about it, nothing regarding electricity is coming to me at all... so wish me luck you all. bENEDICT.

i'm not sick in the mind or whatever, just mentally sick. sick as in disgusted. people making me wait up till eleven and shove me aside while they watch movies. people making me believe that staring at a textbook would enable me to get better results. people expecting something big to be completed in a week. irresponsible people, handing in something with a deadline late. liars, who say yes and then back out of it.

i'm just sick and tired out from all these nonsense. would someone step aside?

i am BACK! after a longlong hiatus.
manymany eventful stuff has happened, but i won't state much.

tests are coming up, and i'm mugging hard. i'm committed to studying MT most of the time though, i'm SO NOT gonna fail MT again. so i have planned sort of a study timetable. so i shall kiss my computer time goodbye. monday geog, tuesday maths, wednesday MT, thursday SC and friday... gah i dun think i will have time to study on friday anyways.

MT CA1A test next week. and luckily its all MCQ, except for zhao4 ju4. and theres a bio test somewhere next week. maths, MT, lit project all due next week. and i havent started. i feel like dying T.T.

WISH ME LUCK.

my ipod's outta battery.

ndp, sadsad can't go. apparently people are not very spontaneous. 3 vacancies man...

red cross this thursday, and theres FA!

sadsad friday have to wake up at 4am for qingming festival ):

AND VSCB GOT GOLD FOR SYF! grats.

zzz.

ohamgee. i totally screwed up my narrative essay today. the ending and orientation is screwed up real bad. and a maths worksheet totally ruined my day. OH i shall stop talking about such calamities...

move on to bigger and better stuff. HAHA training today rocked. so much. we had lots of fun, till some rude people from NCC land came and disrupted our training with some cheer. =.= .ying zhe said that it was done on purpose to irritate us, ohwells. do i care?

went home with gogul and ganesh. sheesh it seems that i am going home with different people on different occasions. from derek to derrick to ganesh to gogul. lawl. theres this guy i sat with on the train, and he smelt like CHEE CHEONG FUN. O.o.

i bought this pushpop thing from school and ate it on the way home. it was disgusting and sticky and all. i sucked on the damn thing for like 45 mins and i dint see any difference, so i got real desperate and started biting it. but i'd rather keep my teeth thank you very much. so i threw it away. ;D. bought some warheads sweets yesterday, and once i opened them, i could tell that they were on display for AGES. the pellets were stuck to the casing, and it was impossible to dig out the ones from down below. so gross. so next time i shall stick to good ol' tic tacs. :)

YES. finally. i changed the skin of my blog. yup, back to a boring old template. well, simplicity is still the best. loads of homework is still reigning over me, but luckily the work load is not as much as it was last year, all thanks to SYF. recently i have tanked 2 projects, namely the CME and the OPW. well the OPW isn't much of a project though. its just that some people refuse to cooperate and act as if they have nothing to do with it. UGH thats why i am hating group work. haha, not exactly ALL of the group work, but those without my BEST BUDS :)

meanwhile my sister is wrestling with MIKI. haha. anyways, i'm gonna apply for VIP and DHP soon. well, its not like you could apply for DHP now... but mainly everyone in VS wants to go to VIP, provided that they want to go IP in the first place, while almost nobody knows about the DHP, so i shall take my chances when i take the DHP test. ;D.

hmm. theres red cross tomorrow, :D.
and some english narrative test. D:
