HELLO!

I had an ACS Family Carnival yesterday. It started in the morning at 9:30am. Crowds were suppose to come in then, but there were kiasu Singaporeans who came at 8:30am and buy food from my class' food stall. Oh! In case you did not know, my class' food stall was selling Waffle Ice-Cream. Does that sound mouth-watering to you and makes you hungry? Food stall people were split into 3 shifts. I did the first shift and i was the person who cook the waffle! Isn't that cool? Mathieu being a "chef", temporary. My shift was from 8:30am to about 10:30am. My goodness i stood for almost 2 hours in that cramp up little space!

The carnival was marvellous. Different food and game stalls( e.g haunted house, shoot'em, tatoos, nasi lemak, ice cream sodas, cocktails) were filled up in the school. The atmosphere was noisy and exciting, with the live bands playing. My dear Celine and two other friends came down to support me. I am so thankful for them for accompanying me when i was not doing my shift. I took them around the school and i am sure they pretty did much enjoyed themselves :)

The carnival ended at about 5:30pm. Celine and others left earlier at about 4:plus to East Coast Park. I joined them later on and we went for cycling. I just followed them to Bedok Jetty and there, we sat down in the crowded place, full of fishermen and children. Even at 7:00pm plus, there was many people. They started cam-whoring and so i  joined in. I did not take pictures like these for a long time, and it was also a long time that i did such stuff.

We ate at this cafe by the beach called the Beach Hut! The atmosphere there was fantastic. With a live band playing, and wind blowing, it was great! Food was not too bad. Prices were quite expensive, thanks to the two bottles of Hooch, which cost about 10 bucks each! Can you believe it? It was a tiring day for me, and we left at about 10 plus!

The day was long and exciting. Moments where i was feeling down but it went away with Celine around. Sorry, I sincerely apologize for the "face" that look rather sian. But thanks anyway for the company!

Saturday's edge sermon was great. Facing Fear. What do you have to fear? Losing something? Losing friends? Losing a love one? Missing out something in life? If your going to fear, sorry, out!

HEY! Finally i had the mood/time to post an entry. My last week stay over at Japan was fantastic, wonderful, brilliant. Oh you people must visit that country. It has a beautiful scenery, people there are just so awesome. People are interesting, things are expensive but much better quality. Food was number 1. On the first day, we went to a somewhat eating place, it is a eat all you can "Tempura" place. There is a widespread of raw food on a stick, you take it, dip it in breadcrumbs and fry it in the oil on your table. It is something like Seoul Garden. We had dinner at this Hotel, buffet again but the food is high-class and a eat all you can kind of thing.Next day, if i am not wrong, we went to eat lunch at this sushi place. Talking about that, their sushi is the best you ever can find. The quality of the Unagi, Egg, Tuna and all, are just so good. Besides, it is not a small sushi like what Singapore always sell in Sakae Sushi, it is like 2 or 3 times bigger in size. There is like fish in fish eggs, you get it? Fish eggs surrounding fish? We also went to stay in the Japanese traditional house. You know all those rice paper doors? Slide in and out? Sleeping in a mat on the floor? Wearing a Ukata( Those outfits Japanese men/woman wear, the robe). I never felt so exposed wearing it.

I did not mention about the weather there. It is summer now so it is not that cold, just a bit windy. There are lots more in Japan that i wanna share but its too much to blog. Oh! Universal Studios! That awesome place. Rides just own Escape Theme Park flat! I sat the roller costa, " Hollywood Dream". Best roller costa ever! And the visit to Tezukayama High School, the school that visited our school last year, and a friend of ACS for more than 20 years. The Concert was fabulous too.

See you, i am lazy to blog already and i shall stop here.

Hello! I am going to Japan tomorrow, 10pm at Terminal 2. Going away from the 12th-17th, coming back on a Sunday afternoon. Well, sure i am going to miss many people. I am going to spend my day today the best i can!

The week was rather weird one. Had many practices and hanging outs. I kept on playing pool too. Oh,  i went to the gym with Celine, Nicktan and Joel yesterday. We worked out till my muscles are now aching. Those 3 ran, i didn't. I kept on doing the machines, dumb bells. Toa Payoh Gym is quite small, i expected it to be bigger with more equipment. The weights area was like all super buff guys, very small space provided too. Might be going there every week to accompany 3 of them. After the gym Celine and I went to Nicktan's house. I practically watch Saw 3 and Bruce Almighty, Celine was playing the PSP and got hooked on, Nicktan was playing PS2!

I have also got hooked on Strawberry Milk Tea. Yes, that is a very nice drink. I don't know why i have been getting hooked on stuff. My Ipod died on me just now, it didn't work the whole night. Thank God it worked later on, almost freak me out. And to all Church Campers, may you have an enjoyable time and may the Lord do something in your lives. God bless and have fun!

Hello. The 4A3 class BBQ was not bad. Thank God the food was more than enough, we had to throw some away. Thanks guys for making it to the BBQ, enjoyed myself and also Celine and Nicktan for coming down. Classmates, Celine, Nicktan and I went to watch a 12:20am show ( POC: At World's End) at New Cathay. We all were feeling tired but thanks to the Coffee, we felt more awake. It was a 3hr show and honestly, it was quite draggy, but overall, it was not bad. I still think that the other 2 were better.

Celine, Nicktan and I hanged out outside PS at the steps. We chat a little about stuff although it was not really entertaining. Nicktan was feeling very tired so he went home first. Celine and I walked at Istana Park till 7:?? then cab home and i swear it was a death-scary trip home. The cab driver acts a little weird although i know he is not. He drove real fast and the car just kept, hopping!

Reach home at 8:00am and slept at 8:01am till 4:00am. Met the boys (Nicktan, TuckWah, Kahwai, Sam Heng) and Celine. Ate at Fish and Co and i had The Best Fish and Chips. Its not literally the best, its the name. After that, we went to play pool at Cuppage Plaza. Well, the day was short.

I swear i am so sian. Next week gonna be full of practices before i go to Japan to perform. Help me can? When the heck is it going to end? Hello ACSBR, i did my part in contributing to the school and i think i deserve a good break please?

You know, it doesn't feel like holiday. I have just ended my Chinese "life" on Monday, O level paper. Today i had my SPA Physics and just to let you know, i screwed my skill 1.1. It means ability to present experimental techniques and skills. I did the experiment wrongly but fortunately i completed by skill 1.2,1.3,2.1 and 2.2 properly. I should pass.

Tomorrow is gonna be exciting apart from the SPA Chemistry, 4A3 class BBQ and i am the official organizer and i swear to you, boys are very difficult to handle with. All you idiots out there better pay up :D. Guess where our pit is? Area D pit 40/41. My goodness that is far, so the committee decided to rent bikes to fetch all those lazy asses. I am very afraid that there will be not enough food. Lord i pray that the boys will be skinny for that day so they do not eat so much.

I had an interesting bus ride home. At the school bus stop, 23th of May, i was sitting alone, waiting for my bus 48. Then came another student, whom i sort of knew because he stays behind my house, the other lane. He approach the bus stop, and as he wanted to ask me where i am going,  i came first, " where are you going?" We started a conversation.

I ask him what class is he from, 3C1. Obviously, secondary 3. And i asked him how did he fair for his Mid-Year Examinations, and he replied, saying that he got exempted. I asked why. He told me it was not fair and some other things, which i could not hear clearly, due to the noisy bus. He also told me he is suppose to be secondary 4 this year.

The interesting part, here it comes: I asked him, "so your 16 this year right?"

"No, i am eighteen this year", he replied.

Let me say this, i swore he look secondary 3.

He told me he had quit school. I ask why.

"I was in", he told me

"You went to jail?" i said with a stun look.

"Yes", he replied calmly

He showed me his Prison Service Card, to prove that he really went to jail as i could not believe him at first. Yes, being curious, i started asking him how was life in prison, wake up times, food, people, gangs etc etc. At first, i thought he was rather mature for a secondary 3 student from the way he spoke. He was rather interesting, and we exchange mobile phone numbers.

He made many interesting remarks about his 1 and a half years of prison sentence. He mentioned about students who always try to act big or fierce so that other students will be scared of them. He told me that this people are nothing compared to the real gangsters or mafias. They haven't seen anything. 

My bus journey home was a meaningful one.

People, hey there. I'm down with a flu, fever and sore throat. But thankfully, its much better now. I'm at home waiting to go back to school and its 3:36pm according to my clock. I'm going back to perform for the school/parents/students. The purpose of this performance is to show the people what the Performing Arts CCA have achieve during their respective SYF competitions ( Dance, Drama, Band etc.) Therefore, the name of this event is called SYF NIGHT. 2 years ago, we had 1 night of SYF NIGHT but this time, its going to be held on 2, Monday and Tuesday. Oh well, boring.

I went to Sentosa on Saturday for the youth activity and i am honored, as the Group Leader of Team 6, to publicly announce our achievements of getting last position for the competition. We tried our best.
I also went to watch "28 weeks later" with Celine, Nicktan and Tuckwah. As you should know, i am a gore&violence fan, so whatever show that shows blood flying about over your face or guts being ripped out from your hand or whatever, i would smile. The story was lousy, but i loved the zombies. They are fast. Sorry Celine.

Oh well, holidays starting next week. Japan trip in 3 weeks and Holidays end in 5 weeks?

Hello there. I am back again. I had my Physics SPA skill 3 exam today. It was pretty easy but just made some stupid careless errors (e.g wrong decimal places). The school had invite people to set up an " Gambling Prevention" Roadshow. It was kind of interesting. Won some sweets.

Went to vivo with Celine in the evening. We ate Carl's Jr and looked for Celine's bag. It was depressing because we could not find any nice ones. My day was short and sweet. Tomorrow is my Chemistry SPA skill 3 exam. I am quite scared. Help! I need somebody! Help! Not just anybody! Help! I need someone! Help!

Hello people, i had many problems with my blogger which some of them did not allow me to post so its useless to continue. I made this "live journal" instead, i hope its better than blogger in any sense. Worth trying new things. Well, much has happen during the past week. I got back some of my results. Chinese and E. Maths and i had got a B for both. Not too bad though, but i am aiming for an A.

Holidays starting next next Monday, which happens to be on the date where i am taking my O Level Chinese paper. Its kind of fast, but i am having utter full confidence. I'll also be having 2 SPA exams, Science practical in other words. There will be a 4A3 class BBQ on 30th of May, Wednesday, and guess what, i am the Organizer!

I am feeling damn bored now, oh yes, Saturday is going to be fun, RegD will be hanging out @ Sentosa for games! My group rocks!
