Saying the magic of orientation camps has dissipated and that there's a sense of superficiality of the proceedings did anger me.

I beg to differ, because without all these camps, without all the exciting programs, the crazy councillors who made us do countless memorable forfeits, there would never be anything to reminisce. Furthermore, without this platform for friendships, lest can we say of long-lasting ones.

Nothing is forced. You don't have to talk to anyone during speed-dating. You don't even have to write the "romantic" love letter to your secret pal. No one is pointing a gun at your head forcing you to cheer. We make a fool out of ourselves because we want to. We cheer because we like to cheer.

Yeah right. I do so love sore throat eh?

Maybe i choose to view everything simply. It's just as plain as that.

Everyone ought to make an effort in the things they do. Well they can remain anti-social. Well stay happy that way then. Back to the rotten-cos-its-used-too-much "Choices have consequences", for those who CHOOSE not to sign up for orientation camps, or for those unlucky ones who didn't know of camps' existence, i say, TOO BAD!

Cheers!

Haha CLASS MONITRESS!!

Happy 21st Juju!!! Hope you had lots of geeky-fun yesterday!!

Went to Aloha to celebrate Juling's birthday! We went totally dressed up la ... but people say i am beng nerd. zzz.

Had so much fun taking nerdy and geeky photos! Ran out of faces to pose ... =x
Me and a primary school kid.

Doris!! Her colour scheme reminded me of the joker!!

And the T-house group shot! Hap!

The past 5 days had been great-holiday-fun. School's starting soon and i am glad i've got 3 modules from the MPE, so plus my 1 minor mod, i only need to bid for 1 module! =))

Had dinner with the Lacoste peeps at Modestos the other night. Dear syndromic alison came back to do some intern and for her graduation ... like wtf ... cheat my feelings cos when we had that farewell lunch, i thought she won't be back for another year. And it's only barely 2 months and she's back. Zzzzzz ...
Photo with her and Many ...

Then we went to Wheelock for desserts ...

Had the annual T-House chalet at Aloha Loyang. Luckily the place was big enough ... and much thanks to Juling and Sufi for doing so so so many things. From the preparation of food to the cooking to ensuring everything ran swee swee. Truly appreciated that. =)

... destroying the evidence ...


And somehow they've been posting up photos of Arts Camp 07 on facebook ... and this photo popped up somewhere ... Ahhh the good times ... Bobby, Benedict, Qianfu, Yenghong, Chingfeng, Doris and Me ...


Mum signed another 2 years contract and she got a free Samsung L170 ... so since my phone is kind of cocked, i am gonna use that for now.

A recent classic quote ...

K: "Eh T ... you never drive ar?"
T: "Ya it's faster to take public transport."
K: "You took bus to town?"
T: "Ya ..."

K: ... ... Huh you got ezlink card meh?!"

Can i say The Dark Knight is superb?

And at one point of time i thought there was a continuation to it with Two-face being the next villian, then i thought that wouldn't make sense because jia mentioned in her blog that the 'other' villian only appeared for a short period of time.

It's definitely worth the money and like all raving reviews, Heath Ledger takes the prize for his dramatic display of the psychotic Joker. Although i thought Jim Carrey would have done an equally good job. Haha ... always have liked him ...

But did anyone notice that the big-wheels bike that Batman was on was kind of travelling a bit slowly as compared to the surroundings? Especially at the underground scene ... i know it was making lots of noise but the relative movement of the wheels in conjunction to the surroundings didn't quite make it for me. Maybe it's all the GTA i am playing. =x

And as i was telling Kenneth, if The Dark Knight is a Singaporean film, the Joker wouldn't be saying "Why so serious?". He would probably be spewing "Relax lah!".

BBQ at Stace's place was great! We had fun creating our little cosy corner when the rain came. The burnt marshmellows were pretty cool too =x

Slacking around these few days were great too. Finishing up quite a lot missions on GTA4.

Tired. Time to sleep!

Colour-coded for this weekend. Yellow-black and Pink!

Fishes are becoming highly sensitive to people who walk near the tank.

I am bored at home.

But isn't this resting and recuperating?

Hmmm so this means i am no longer feeling burnt out.

I am in need of activities.

Ok bye.

Oweek precamp ended yesterday and i must really really say i am DAMN PROUD AND HAPPY to be part of T-house. The number of freshie councillors that turned up was terrific and many ocommers kept on saying wah happy ar ... keep on um-chioing non stop. Hahahah ... tested out the programs and games ... bonded even more within the house ... so it was a good two days!

I can safely say the targets i've set myself from the very start of Arts Camp are being fulfilled. It's really heartening to see them all so closely bonded and having so much fun among themselves. I was also aiming for more inter-OG interaction which i can say is partially achieved. In my freshie year, i didn't get the chance to mix much with people from other OGs within the house. At least now i am fulfilling that. I also felt that the house IC could be integrated more within the freshies circle, and i am fulfilling that too. Last night's talk with Joan also made me realised in my head more clearly the goals i've set subconsciously for myself. I didn't really sit down and list them out when Arts Camp started, but i just had a brief idea then. I am just glad now they are turning out the way i hoped for.

Been thinking of the house name for Oweek for a long time already and i think i am going to go with the Huat Ah theme i've created during precamp.

HUAT AH!

So my dear sister has left for Canberra. The house IS feeling terribly empty without her. Shucks.

No more climbing upstairs and seeing her in the opposite room for the next 4 months.
No more shouting "QINNNNNNNGGGGG!!!" when i feel like it.
No one to entertain my bullshit, nonsense and need to entertain every now and then.

I hate to push it away but if i do, i might become self-centered. Her presence always serves as a reminder for me that there's someone else in the house that i need to share things with.

Anyway, qing, you jiayou over there k? It would be an adventure and like i always say, make the most out of it. Take care and remember to be brave and strong! Join the many many things over there and study hard too. Anything just give me a call and i will be glad to help. =)

MGS4 is a darn good game.

The ending was like a movie la. Neverending. But it was good in the sense that it wrapped up everything, tied up all the loose ends and brought an end to 2 decades of storyline, spanning 3 whole generations. I didn't play MGS1 or 2, but MGS3 got me hooked. As Naked Snake, then Big Boss, before playing Solid Snake aka Old Snake in MGS4.

"It all started with Zero ... and it must end with Zero becoming zero."

And i thought the Sunny-ups during the start of each Act represented something. There was always a hidden meaning behind the songs that Sunny sang and the number of eggs that appeared. It started with one, then two, then there was one which the yolk was broken and i thought that symbolises the "stained" twin. There was one with two yolks in an egg, which clearly symbolises both Liquid and Solid, before Act 5 ended with three yolks.

Raiden, Meryl and Johnny also added value into the storyline, with each of them having their own side stories. I totally dig the last part when Meryl and Johnny proposed to each other while in the middle of the gunfight.

Definitely one of the best games. =)

It seems inevitable that every year there will come a period where the topic of boy-girl relationship is brought up.

There has been an increased discussion of the above-mentioned subject recently, with certain few close friends being implicated. Well, as elaborated well by the brothers, we were once young and rash. Never once did the thoughts about considering the more minute details and perhaps the sheng chen ba zhi =p come in as we went about with our "misadventures".

And only recently, i got to know of this particular friend who wants to walk my path. Waiting that is.

I don't believe a girl should ever wait for a guy, especially one who seems reluctant to get any further involvement. I strongly encourage all females out there to go out and make full use of their youth and life, and not cling on to any false hope. Well of course, if there is really any true form of hope, then go on and be brave. At the same time, ask yourself this, are you imagining this hope?

Because as what i've noticed, female friends my age start thinking big about their future. Some are getting engaged. And suddenly, we all realised we ain't that young anymore.

I thought to myself how different my life would have been if i didn't have the courage to hold her hand that night.

Happy 46th month babe! =)

Sorry about last night, dinner's on me tonight. =p
