The Final Countdown (Real one la...)
2007, I walked into the class with my heart beating rapidly, my feelings in turmoil. How will things begin... How will things end... Will our friendships improve... And how strict is this new form teacher?
The answers are crystal clear now as the last few hours of the year tick by... Why am I alone here in my home typing... shouldn't I be out with my friends treasuring the last trickle of 2007?
Is there a need to? No, the year has been fruitful enough, the memories have been etched deeply in my mind... times of fun, joy, tears, laughter, friendship.
Here's a basic timeline of 2007:
Jan: Well, we're still mostly mixing with our own cliques. I'm somewhat of a clique hopper so i just go here and there to talk and joke about. Things were normal, and our class wasn't as united yet. The presence of a new form teacher was a little stifling as well.
Feb: Slowly, we start to get used to our form teacher and the class starts to get more relaxed, more warm and comfortable. The year is still early, most of us were slacking, thinking that O levels is still a full 8 months away. Funny how it seemed so long ago to me now.
March: A one week holiday, the class starts to bond together even more. Activities were held but no class activities yet. There were cliques talking to one another more often and the lines between the cliques between our class start to blur.
April: Haha, probably the month where the class was becoming more and more like a country club. We spent our time playing chapteh, fake table tennis, and even soccer! This was also the month where FLC was born. Quite memorable indeed!
May: The class is still in the country club mode but we have been severely handicapped as the teachers are stopping us from playing retarded games in class. Chaptehs were confiscated mercilessly, the table tennis bats were kept by the teachers ( though i suspect they were using it to play table tennis in the staff room).
June: Holidays again! This time a very long one indeed! The thing is... we had to come back to school pretty often anyway so it wasn't really a holiday. Prelims were nearing and people were starting to panic. Funny how we still had our FLC meetings during this period, I even remember playing LAN with them lol... sad case.
July: End of holidays. A bit of post holidays mood in the class where everyone is lethargic, sleepy, and unmotivated to work... even though it was only one month to prelims... still, I remember Mr Alvin Lim scolding us for being lazy haha.
August: Start of prelims, of the supposed mugging month. I remember that Bronson, HC and me formed a shitty study group that often went to bronson's house to study... ok la I'm not sure if they study when I'm not there but usually our "study" sessions end up as table tennis, swimming, chatting sessions with about one hour of studying. The start of this month was the birth of the three agents, acting like heroes while doing the most retarded things.
September: Prelims over, time for O levels to put the stress on us. The workload we received were increasing exponentially... but it's time for me to be honest with you guys... I didn't do half the math home work given =). Not to mention that really embarassing teacher's day performance... No looking at the video please!
October: Start of the dreaded O levels. Everyone's complaining about how fast it has arrived. This is the period of hardcore studying, last minute preparations, numerous teacher consultations and a WHOLE LOT OF REVISION WORKSHEETS! Tension is in the air and some of us are pushing ourselves to the limit.
November: End of O levels, class gathering which was a huge success! I broke my specs! After O levels, everyone is speculating about what they will get, and in late November, we start to complain that we're all very bored.
December: We are all surprised at home time flies, wondering what we've been doing all this while... well, me at least. JC postings are out and we start to miss one another as now we know who we're gonna be seeing when the year starts.
Well, that might not be a VERY accurate description but it's all I can remember. The year has really passed in a flash and 2007 was ( and I'm not just saying this) the best year of my life. I think all of us, whether we show it or not, have matured through the year in one way or another. Friendships were built on a firm foundation for 4c, the fact I like most is that we enjoy laughing at each other, suanning each other. It's like... my specialty! Haha I probably won't be able to do this in JC.
Let's end the year on a high note! Cheers to all my friends, my family, and most importantly... 4C! May our class spirit live forever!

The most embarassing moment of my life
So before we get to the good part which is how i totally embarrassed myself in front of TWO families, let me give you a slight intro to the people there.
My family - 6 ppl, parents sis aunt uncle.
Their family - 4 ppl, parents 2 girls.
So you see, the incident happened on day 2 of my SEVEN day holiday. We ( the two families) were eating dinner on one table as there was no space in the restaurant. Everything was going well, I usually don't talk much when my parents are around for obvious reasons...
So dessert came and it was a plate of oranges. Just so you know I was sitting beside the two girls... and both of them are older than me and no matter what I'm going to tell you next let's make this clear...
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER OF THEM OMG!
Ok so here's what happened. As I mentioned earlier the fruits were being passed around the table and I was currently day dreaming and watching the fruits being passed around. So when the older sister offered her younger sister her oranges ,ok that sounds wrong but let's move on, due to a slight jolt in my brain I very quickly and jerkily turned my head and looked towards the girl in my direction. Of course, I was only looking at her oranges.... or the oranges... whichever but my parents and like the whole table interpreted it as I was rejecting her offer of oranges when she wasn't even offering me. I tried to clear up the matter but it's not like they would listen since they were too busy laughing. If there was a hole in there I would dive in but there wasn't so I had to make one.
So I suppose you can guess how badly the rest of the day went, or for that matter, the rest of the trip. The rest of my encounters with the two girls can only be described as retardedly awkward and depressing. The good thing is that I know the truth of the matter and I'm spreading it around... I was just looking at her oranges. The end.

Broken Boredom... more of the broke part
Want concrete evidence?
Geng Hao said he misses school. Enough said.
I dun really want to get rid of my old stuff but my mom keeps bugging me to. I mean, they contain good memories, every single piece of work - whether it's good quality or shitty quality is really up to you. I was just looking through our sec 2 portfolio that day ( yes yes i still have my sec 1&2 stuff) and it's really quite cool and evident that we've grown in our thoughts and stuff. I looked through some of my answers for lit and i felt like slapping myself. But then again it's all in the past =).
Sigh just another 3 weeks before JC starts, just thinking of the studying kills me. JC life is gonna be hectic and I don't think I would be able to slack. Hope we have one final class gathering that is uber good or something. As usual, I will slack while Si Cheng organizes. I'm broke man so please don't put anything before 23rd Dec haha. Anyway will be overseas from 21-26th so no Christmas presents for you guys >:D.
P.S: I'm still broke

Ironic Event of the Day
" Don't talk to me, I can't be bothered to talk to you."
I was laughing after she put down because the irony is overwhelming.... I didn't talk in the first place and she had just spent 60 seconds talking to a person she can't be bothered to talk with. Ahhhhhh!

Friends and Fun
Anyway there was one time I was walking home from the chalet ( at like 3.30 am O.o) and the streets were so empty and quiet... As in, seriously, it was as if I was the only person on Earth. So lonely, yet so peaceful. But then again, my life would be boring without SOME conflict. That's why I'm always thankful to have friends to quarrel with... even if we do offend each other sometimes we'll still pick up the piece for each other. That's what friends are for right =). I doubt there will be any more class gatherings ( whole class of course) for the year but I'll remember you guys. If i don't recongnize you all on the streets, feel free to punch me in the stomach once... with LOVE AHAHAHAHHA.
Ok la chalet was pretty cool because I was hanging out with a different group of friends so it's pretty new and interesting because our topics are different, the way of conversing. Good stuff spending time with others that I don't interact so often with in class.
Not to mention I met up with two of my sec 2 friends today which was fun as well hahhaa... all talk nonsense and catch up with one another... lots of jokes flying around and there was still a casual comfortable atmosphere. Geng Hao joined our pool game and of course I lost and lost and lost and lost to the "pros" andrew and brandon.
Oh yeah, Brandon is a BLATANT cheater in pool. When his cue has OBVIOUSLY touched the cue ball = foul = no hit = other players turn.... he still hit the ball just to get a stripe ball in. CHEAP MAN =). I shall now attribute all my losses to his dishonesty.
Lol dinner was nonsense la... I only drank a cup of tea ( and it sucked real bad for $1.30) then it was ARCADE TIME ( Gh sponsored most of it). We played retarded games aka BASKETBALL... some hammer game to test your strength and some punching game to test your strength again =D. Yes, our male hormones are raging. We even went to abuse the machine where you had to punch down the mice/cats. Fun shit man.
Anyway, I'm bored to my skulls at home so if you have any cheap and good activities get me there hahahahah! See ya next time

Dun make me take a stick and whack you...
* This is just a message for people who would like to donate to the Friday Lunch Club fund =).
Anyway, for the whole of the past week I've been playing pool nearly everyday... and it's like 5 bucks each time I go so it's no surprise that I'm broke...
BUT today there's a special incident when I played pool which was quite traumatizing, and this is how it went...
Well at first when the incident happened I was simply sitting with Geng Hao waiting for my turn to play since we were alternating. Anyway, at that time suddenly said to me, " Hey, got fight outside."
Of course, due to my curious nature I immediately turned and saw a group of guys standing outside scolding each other.
" Scold only la... never even do anything"
Well that sentence couldn't come at the correct time because they started to punch the guy. Just to clear things up, it was a like 7v1... lol guess who won.
Anyway, the poor guy TRIED to act tough at first I suppose because I heard one of the members who whacked him saying, " Try to do that kind of shit again somemore!"
To be honest I didn't make a big deal out of it.... till I heard the guy taking a giant stick and hammering the guy thrice on the head till there was blood. Yes, I could hear and see a bit of the scene. The guy who kanna whack tried to run but he was cornered...
Only at that moment I was a bit scared and told Geng Hao, " Dun look dun look later they whack you also."
Then we all pretended not to look while still looking.
After playing pool we went to inspect the stairs where the guy got owned and yeah... there were blood stains. I think his head is broken already lor, the guy seriously smash the stick on his head so loudly. Everyone was stunned for a moment at the pool shop.
I think after that experience I learned a few things...
1) A cue stick is a dangerous weapon.
2) When you're alone dun act tough unless you have a gun.
3) When you're not alone still dun act tough unless your team is equipped with personalized cue sticks.
4) Don't be stupid. Simple as that.

Sneak peek into agent's holiday
Recently we've been out-of-sight, taking a break from all our exhausting agent work. Though we are on a holiday, we still do work out to keep our manly physique in shape. Just to tell you, we agents are ok at the moment, able to blend in with the crowd easily due to our extensive agent training. I do have to admit I miss the mission field, but this is a no better time for a break.
Anyway, today we went to work out at Agent Pee Boy's secret liar filled with ridiculous security guards. Of course, they didn't know our identity and tried to throw us out. Si Cheng and I had patience, for we know we shouldn't abuse our power. Still, that guard pissed us off for being utterly unreasonable.
At least we managed to make it to the table tennis table where we started to play. Table tennis can train your accuracy and reaction time, as the ball will fly at amazing velocities. No matter, we were so powerful till we smashed the ball into two ( no exaggeration, just check with any of them), and by the time we ended the ball was CRUSHED ( again, no exaggeration).
We started to talk about old times and the people who used to join us on missions, on their special trademark moves. One of which we talked about is the evil stupid hobbit who always attempts to sabotage the progress of our mission. He is easily recognizable by his RIDICULOUSLY SHORT stature and his unrelenting laughter that can go on to about 15 mins long. Then he starts randomly saying YEAHHHH for no reason. In fact, I heard that he has upgraded his "YEAHH" recently into an... "OOoOoooO YEAHHHH". Next time i see him, I'm gonna stuff a piece of tissue paper into his mouth to stop him from making noise.
Though the day was unfruitful due to the broken ball - and the fact that pee boy was only smart enough to bring ONE ball which also means that he's stupid- we did enjoy talking about old times. About our lives one year before we joined the agency, about how we even formed the agency, and the people that have supported us in our endeavor all this while.
Don't worry people! Even though you are unable to find out where we are at the moment, I'll be sure to update you on our agent activities. See you next time again!
Signed,
Agent Moonwalker
P.S: Pee boy pees in his own swimming pool.

Love...
Yes, love... Some adults say that when you have a crush in school it's not love, don't fall too deep into it. I think that sentence should be corrected a little. To me, anyone has the capacity to love, regardless of age. The thing that serves as a variable in love is simple the extent of love, the depth of your emotional attachment.
Love is quite a magical thing isn't it? It's almost the composition of happiness, bliss, all the things that make you glad... In relationships, there are always these moments of pure excitement, those things that make your life special and most memorable. The memories able to bond two people so closely together. Definitely you will treasure those once-in-a-lifetime moments, no regrets.
And yet I for one always distance myself from any girl that I happen to like now, it is so difficult isn't it. If she doesn't like you then at least you aren't that close, you don't feel your heart breaking like a million knives have pierced through it. The term heart-wrench is most appropriate for those truly suffering from heart break. Even if you emotionally distance yourself, sometimes the pain is inevitable.
I don't know, but I guess it's because of the fear of rejection? But I've seen a fair few relationships gone *BAM* just like that. At this age, I probably shouldn't be planning long term, because the relationship is likely not to last long. Sure there are exceptions but I think if I ever can get into one, let's just take it as it goes. I too, desire to have the experience but I just can't pull it off I guess.
Sometimes, you simply like the person but do not dare tell him/her right to the face. You hold in your emotions for a long time, simply giving hints or through actions. Just tell him/her straight to the face, it's 50-50 chance anyway. Of course, don't do this when the person obviously doesn't like you or you're asking for a punch in the face. But pull it off, though difficult it may be, and it will be rewarding. You will feel liberated from your emotional suppression, like jolts of electricity feeling through your body. I think we call that ecstasy.
In the end, love is just a double edged sword, with the power to hurt and the power to heal. It all depends on the wielder, how one handles the issue of love. Yeah, I'm not the best person to talk about this but these are just my reflections on the topic. Basically it's for my own reference to see if my thoughts change throughout the years...

Upon christmas dawn to come
Of a year so great 2007
What shall it become?
Of summer's growth that turns to beaut
and all else gorgeous looks
Or summarising letters, notes and all
Indulging in the books?
Or churning studies into marks
Its print a glorious shade
Remembering the numbers count
of prelims, superb grades?
Or experiences you had in school
Events of many count
Where events appear, your luxury
Of leaps and ups and down?
Or memories brought, as stars bring light
The friends that wonder bring
When through recount you begin to wish
For the same ol' joy they sing
Its difficult to show, though easy lived
What life, 4c, had done
Yet more importantly you'll understand
The strange betwixt undone
The suanning shot at lessons
The lazing in Setho's class
Edwin is a caveman
Bronson is an a**!
Mdm's Tang a scandal
Joel full of shit
Hancong food expert
Junheng the hobbit
Brian the whiney (can we go.... uhhhhhhh)
Sicheng the handsome!
Alvinlim the roachcck (rearrange)
Ren an the bear
Mat gang, corner side,
we play soccer at parade square
Eat cocktail jelly (edwin don't eat the fruits)
Take lift everyday. OOPS
Yanjie eyebrow shaker
Hassan the fake mat
Daniel the H.P... hahaha
Wenxian needs to recharge
Country club and chapteh
Getting caught in lift
Slamming books together
Watching classmates tio suan like shit...
Stand we, with fellowship
A burning fire inflamed
There is no class, its like no other
As this I've lived 2 years with.
If there's one thing I would foremost miss
Then without a doubt its this
Ill always remember the great times spent
In our class.
Its surely this.
ps: really sry bronson but nothing rhymed better with class
Sorrowful joy
I am free.
But of course there is nothing purely good in this world, just like how every good thing has a drawback. Now that I have only one paper left, it also means that I'll only be returning to the school for one more time for the entire year. I have no idea how to say this but I'll miss the school, I'll miss my friends there just so many things that go away with the burden of O levels.
The school building, that familiar foyer, the torturing heat of the hall, the cool breeze in the parade square. There are just so many things to miss, to long for after I leave the school. I guess I just didn't feel this sorrowful during graduation day because I knew I had to come back for O's, I knew I could return to this place which has become my second home. All the seemingly normal and mundane stuff in the school have now carried a heavy significance in my life. For a whole of four years, I have been walking the same path through the school, attending the talks given by Mr Maran, hauled up to the front for not bringing my tie. Yes, sometimes things weren't so pleasant, but it only served to make it more memorable.
It only served to make much more harder for me to leave the steps of Victoria School.

The Final FINAL countdown
*Ok you guys can say Yes now.
The worse part is, those subjects that I actually put in effort to study, I realize that I'm not confident at all. Either way, I'm screwed. So let's not worry about this whole thing. The main point of this article is that by the end of the tomorrow...
EXAM WILL BE OVER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's time to spend the rest of my 2 months rotting away on the couch at home eating potato chips till I become some fat ass till I can never get away from the living room... oh wait that sounds like Si Cheng. Anyway, after exams must chiong go out everyday! I dun care during O level period I'm like some legless bird who is caged up- I MUST FLY WHEN I CAN! Hopefully I can get a job and rake in some SERIOUS cash! Fun shit after the O's there's just so much MORE to anticipate rather than
" Omg tmr's SS paper... I better go think about what chapter to bet!"
OR " Sian la tmr lit, must study!"... after 5 hours of playing " Shit why time pass so fast, better get started on my FIRST essay of the month."
But after O levels all we can think about is
"Chalet, Chalet, Chalet"
Or...
"Chalet! Chalet! Chalet!"
Sometimes things might get a LITTLE extreme and we might go
" CHALET!!!!!11!!1!!!!!!!1!11!! x 1000000"
Well you get the point.
Anyway I'm stopping for today but seriously all I can think about now is already...
Oh shut up like I'll let you know what I'm thinking =).

Today we had 3 consecutive papers that were brain numbing, it was so terrible, really. I mean the freezing temperature of the hall, not the papers. All the papers did was make my heart jump out of my mouth. Well, I'm sure we don't want to harp on what's done, let's look towards the future ( and I don't mean MORE exams). Go 2 weeks into the future and visualize us having fun at Downtown East chalet... what bliss!
Ok now back to reality you little weasel, trying to delude yourself from the dreaded exam that you cannot run away from. I find it quite ironic that I'm the one typing here at my computer now while most of you are mugging your hearts out. Well, there's really not much I can do unless I won't to have a series of panic attacks that would make me have to take pills for depression. Si Cheng's job is to encourage you guys while mine is to... well it's beneficial for you - APPRECIATE it =). It's always nice to see us let our hair down before the examination starts, engaging in a short chat or just spamming nonsense ( no overkill please). Not like I can stuff much into my brain before the exam actually starts, dunno why but I always get this weird light-headed feeling when i laugh too much. I think it's what we call feeling high- and I do it without drugs... maybe it's the chocolate.
Anyway here's a good tip for all the guys ( maybe girls), if you're feeling horny, eat chocolates. Why? I don't know it really doesn't help to suppress the horniness, but you've just eaten something delicious. Yum!

A tour bus driver is driving with a bus load of seniors
down a highway
when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady.
She offers him a handful of peanuts,
which he gratefully munches up.
After about 15 minutes, she taps him on his shoulder
again and she hands him another handful of peanuts.
She repeats this gesture about five more times.
When she is about to hand him another batch again
he asks the little old lady,
" why don't you eat the peanuts yourself?".
"We can't chew them because we've no teeth", she replied.
The puzzled driver asks,
"Why do you buy them then?"
The old lady replied,
.
.
.
.
"We just love the chocolate around them."

You are The Hermit
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

Eh hem. DEVIL coming through. Thanks.
You are The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

You are The Lovers
Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.
The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
COMPLEX CHARIOT AISEH...
You are The Chariot
Triumph, Victory, Overcoming Obstacles.
The chariot is one of the most complex cards to define. On its most basic level, it implies war, a struggle, and an eventual, hard-won victory. Either over enemies, obstacles, nature, the beasts inside you, or to just get what you want. But there is a great deal more to it. The charioteer wears emblems of the sun, yet the sign behind this card is the moon. The chariot is all about motion, and yet it is often shown as stationary. It is a union of opposites, like the black and white steeds. They pull in different directions, but must be (and can be!) made to go together in one direction. Control is required over opposing emotions, wants, needs, people, circumstances; bring them together and give them a single direction, your direction. Confidence is also needed and, most especially, motivation. The card can, in fact, indicate new motivation or inspiration, which gets a stagnant situation moving again.

FEAR ME AND MY KITTY KITTY WHEELS
Hear My Call You Underlings!
You are The Emperor
Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person.
The Emperor is the great authority figure of the Tarot, so it represents
fathers, father-figures and employers. There is a lot of aggression and violence
too.
The Emperor naturally follows the Empress. Like an infant, he is filled with enthuiasm, energy, aggression. He is direct, guileless and all too often irresistible. Unfortunately, like a baby he can also be a tyrant. Impatient, demanding, controlling. In the best of circumstances, he signifies the leader that everyone wants to follow, sitting on a throne that indicates the solid foundation of an Empire he created, loves and rules with intelligence and enthusiasm. But that throne can also be a trap, a responsibility that has the Emperor feeling restless, bored and discontent.

This is my card
You are the Hanged Man
Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.
With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
loss from a situation, rather than gain.
The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.
The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

Aftermath
There was another photo showing all of us point-shooting Minjoots head but not this one haha. Graduation Day's a blast, thank God for seoul garden, 23 people came wasn't really expecting that many ppl to come..
well i guess this is the end to many many things. You may not notice it, the same way I didn't notice during Graduation Day, that we won't be seeing each other very often from now onwards. A week of self intensive studying, O levels, followed by chalet.. Then probably go out like almost everyday after chalet, or so I hope.
Anyway I just wanna thank you guys and the class for being such a huge huge blessing to me. No kidding. For withstanding my annoying unfunny jokes, for the acceptance of many flaws, for the stupid fun all year long, for scandalising me with so many exaggerations.. cough sictang, bronson you freak LOL.
Im really grateful for this class. Hard to be part of something so warm and family like as this 4c =D
cheers for agents, flc, kfc, and the class!
Farewell, agents!
Agents- the people who put their lives on the line to accomplish their missions, no matter what the cost. They have been doing all the can for the agency, and I'm proud to say that they did manage to accomplish majority of the missions successfully.
After all that running, jumping, somersaulting, cartwheeling and more running. The lives of the agents are over. They are gone from the face of the earth already, leaving behind only this note to let you all know their feelings for you. Don't bother trying to find them, they blend in too well for the crowd. Never again will the chance to know their identities surface...
Dear people who might be reading this,
The year where the agents have appeared have come to an end. I'm sorry to say we had to leave so suddenly, but every minute that we are here we might be exposed. In this whole year we had alot of fun and excitment together, danger was always lurking in the air. Though some of you might have previously attempted to sabotage our plans, we forgive you because it gave us the chance to perfect our agent skills, needing to use knowledge, wit, and power to overcome these obstacles. There have been many funny incidents during our missions, and if you ever miss us agents, just take a look at all our previous missions on this blog. From the beginning to the end, I'm sure we have never failed to entertain you. The world is safe for now, we have to retire already. I'm sure that if the world is ever in peril again, a new trio of agents will surface to protect it. Remember the times and experience we shared together, sometimes we embark on missions, other times we get caught and "tortured". But I'm sure this has only forged a greater bond between us, and I am quite reluctant to leave and hide my identity. I'm sure I'll miss the old times. Till we meet again... if we ever meet again.
Yours sincerely,
The Agents.
Graduation Day...
I won't really be able to describe the event very well, you just had to be there to experience it.
The day started at 6... yes very early, and I remember that I wasn't even excited about Graduation Day. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because if I look forward to it, it'll be like I'm looking forward to getting out of that place. Nothing seemed different upon my arrival in school, and that's exactly the things I'll be missing - Our conversations, the routine assembly rituals... they've all become a part of my life. They are ingrained, etched into my soul and it's going to be hard to get used to leaving this school.
Of course, the day started to pick up speed, and we started with an EXTREMELY interesting exam briefing...
...
Nah actually it was really boring and I took the opportunity to nap a little while ( but I still listened!). Then came literature class... hmmm, the class was so efficient and well planned that we managed to finish the WHOLE lesson in merely 30 minutes! All thanks to the brilliant Miss Koh of course.
After abit of soccer and basketball, we went to East Coast Park with our form teachers. Mdm Tang brought her child and I think Yan Jie has a thing for harassing babies. He enjoys pinching their cheeks and waving their hands.... Aahahahaa scary thought isn't it?
Soccer was te usual, with the pros dominating the ball and shooting and scoring- ok maybe not ridzuan- and I was doing my job as per normal... surveying the area. The trip to East Coast was a great time of fellowship together but it didn't have the kind of zing that will make you remember the event for a long time.
So after East Coast and all, we went back to school to stink up the HOD room because we placed our bags in there. Sweet smelling savour indeed. I decided to head home where I slept... ZzzZ.
Now it's time for the REAL DEAL.
Using my super agility and precision for time, I sprung out of bed, got changed to go to school and jumped out of my balcony window in a matter of minutes. I reached school at 315 and fate allowed me too meet up with my long lost friend... the Hobbit. Sigh all the prize winning things were pretty boring, till we came into the hall and they all tried to lull us into some emo mood by playing emo songs. I mean, it did work to a certain extent but I don't think I'll see any tears flowing out freely. Anyway, there was the tie pinning section and yeah, it marks the moment where we become MEN... MACHO MACHO MEN. The best part was the photo taking session. Simply fabulous and funny. Everyone was running around trying to take photos with other teachers and even principals. Our vice principal Mr Minjoot was a hot favourite, he had hordes of people surrounding him. The photo taking session was really good, all the 4c people are cam whores. No joke.
Then came the prize presentation session, and well, it was just so normal. Though I did manage to take one photo with Mdm Tang. And we all know how worked up Si Cheng got. He was attempting to break the camera by smashing it on his head, then when Mdm Tang walked off, he pounced on me and tried to punch the daylights of me. But to no avail of course, I swiftly dodged his blows and he got tired after awhile- that FAT SHIT! When we were singing the Victorian Anthem, I just felt the sincerity in that song, the meaning that it holds. All the people, I trust, were honestly singing with their hearts and not just their mouths. The cheers after the Anthem were pretty rowdy and chaotic, I mean, I couldn't really hear what they were saying actually. We were more focused on the little Hobbit that seemed like he was going crazy.
After eating a bit of cake that Mdm Tang bought us ( Thanks Mdm tang, but Si Cheng ate more than us =( ). But don't worry, we all know - and i quote- how much you "love Si Cheng". Yes she really said that, a tender and touching confession of love, which was probably why Si Cheng was in such high spirits.
We were now off to Seoul Garden, with 23 people in total. The bus came, silent and empty, but it transformed into a crowded and noisy bus within a matter of seconds once 4c stepped in. Everyone was commenting about photos, talking about stuff, cracking jokes. Seoul Garden was really good, though it was a pity we got separated. My table was pretty fun I guess, though there were alot of lame jokes flying around. I should just dunk my head into the steam boat. But the most fun period of that evening was... THE PHOTO TAKING SESSION AGAIN! Yes, I know it sounds impossible but after eating we started taking photos again. And my table couldn't finish some of the food so you know what's the solution? Just dunk it all into the steamboat and pray that the staff doesn't check. Edwin and I were filling up lame stuff in the feedback form.
Eg: What do you eat for breakfast? Ans: Lunch
We kept taking photos till the incident happened... well we all know what happened already. Anyway yeah, there was a drastic change in mood after it did... Well, there's always a price to pay whenever you do something. Anyway we all headed home and I slept.... and slept... till now.
AND I LIVE AGAIN!

The End is Near... (repost due to the unexpected posts sprouting out like Mushbooms)
Yes... This is a dedication to all of my ( and our) 4 years in Victoria School. I have to admit that this place really seems like my second home now, all the teachers and friends are so warm, so sincere that it truly feels like we are one big family. To be honest, my first two years didn't really make as much as impact as the last two in this school. I came in a young boy, uncomfortable with mingling around and socializing with strangers ( yes, I know this statement is hard to believe). I'm glad that I chose this school, no regrets no matter what other stories I might hear about other schools.
Now, to all of 4c. You are a truly special class ( and I don't mean that in a degrading cutting mocking kind of way =) ). These two years spent with you guys have just been amazing... even that word is too mild, I feel. We have witnessed some of our fellow classmates being retained, our numbers dropping, the reputation we have - a notorious one indeed. And yet, there is SOMETHING about this very class that throws that all out of the window and makes me WANT to come to school. Seriously, who could forget how Srinivas openly mocked most or all of the teachers ( ok so he still does now but not for our entertainment). That genius can attempt to smuggle food using a shoe bag... wow... it would be humliatingly funny but I was involved haha.
I really don't want to go... it's hard to break away from so many friends. I know that most of us are going our separate ways after the O's and the worse part is that I'm not sure if we can keep this flame of friendship burning like it is. Graduation day is slowly ( but surely, surely)
It is coming.
I dread it, not completely. I long for it, not completely.
The more I think, the more i fear.
For friendship, for examinations.
Tremble, I do
At the thought of leaving you
All of you
I long to stay in this class
My heart cries, pleads to stay
But I have to go, I have no say
Remember
That forever we have something special
This bond that holds us together
Will ultimately last forever.
I know I'm not master poet, not trying to be emo or whatever. But truly if I could, I would not leave 4c. But all good things must come to an end before other beginnings... begin. I hope I wouldn't cry during Graduation Day... it would be embarrassing. These have been the two best years of my life. Thank you for accepting me for who I am, the spastic little boy who provides free entertainment.
And of course, who can forget our Victoria School teachers. These are the people who have guided us throughout our school life. Like them or not, I believe they still do things all for our sake. Their passion to teach is truly respectable, I salute all of you.
Let's start with individual dedications.
Mdm Tang- Yes, our very own form teacher for sec 4. I guess we all know that she can be a little strict at times. But of course, she always has the best of intentions, like all our teachers. She is patient and willing to teach us, and her punishments are extremely torturing ( sorry i meant interesting and meaningful =) ). After all, her favorite student is our very own Si Cheng!
Mr Hazrin- Haha, many people haven't been able to make Mr Hazrin blow his top, but our class has managed to accomplish this very feat. From slacking to sloppy work, Mr Hazrin will do whatever it takes to make us work, and it's for our own good. He has always been supportive and understanding, even sharing his personal life with us. Even treat us to chicken wings during VC siah... make us fat =)
Mr Khoo- I guess Mr Khoo is a very... well.... interesting character? Personally I'm don't really know him that well but I guess we could get Jun Heng to share a few words. But I can tell that he does put in effort in his work judging from his blog. And yet we still anger him by not checking...
Mr Lim- This is a man who needs no introduction. I remember when he first stepped into our sec 3 class, he had already established himself as the ultimate tyrant and dictator. But after getting to know him better, he also has a soft and fun side... albeit being very sarcastic and cutting at times =). Even so, his punishments never fail to humiliate the person and bring entertainment to the class! The best so far is probably he making Jun Heng hold the clock up and going to 4A to say that there's not much time left to prelim. Very evil indeed.
Miss Koh- Well... our class is like... one third literature, but I still feel the need to give her the rightful praise she doesn't ( i mean does) deserve. After all, this IS my favourite teacher we are talking about =D =D =D. In truth, this is one very fierce woman who will eat you up if you don't do her every command! All her students live in fear and awe of the great Miss Jennifer... GG man... GG! Haha acutally i think she's very dedicated to her work and really has a passion for teaching. This is one teacher I probably won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Mdm Lyana- Our very own chemistry teacher that was our form teacher in sec 3. Chem lessons have never been boring with her around. After all, she is a very sharp and witty teacher who will not fail to "suan" you if you step out of line. Her trademark is probably her false promises that we will have R&R after she goes through this " last piece of transparency"... that surprisingly always coincide with recess time. I guess her ability to teach the class in interesting ways makes her a great teacher.
Finally, Mrs Setho- Well, this has been our physics teacher for a whole one year. At first when she entered the class, she scolded us for being 10 mins late and insisted that we stand up straight to greet her properly. We all were like... Sian confirm physics sleep. Then after she has taught us for a period of time, we found that she's actually quite a fun person to be with, very mother-like. Even though she's a little naggy, we still like her for showing so much concern and patience for us naughty students.
Alright alright, I have to stop now. I just spent a whole hour writing this post out... hahaha there's just so much more I can say and i WANT to say. But as Mr Lim always say, Time waits for no man. Better get started on my chemistry soon before mdm lyana starts to suan me again.
Till next time... if there is a next time

Chiong peeps!!

Stealth... Suspense... Danger...
Before I tell you about today, I have to confess that the agents have been caught and tortured before... IF you were wondering why the recent episodes haven't been uploaded, it's because the agent's hands are too pain and bruised to even type... Yes, they were tortured that badly. The agents were ambushed on all sides, with no way out, they chose peace instead of endangering innocent lives and decided to surrender to the evil villain who tortured them =D. They were humiliated, injured, decapitated ( ok maybe not THAT bad). But you get the idea.
Of course, our brave agents have made a comeback that everyone* has been awaiting for... to help protect the future of the Earth!
Agent Joel reporting in...
Agent Si cheng reporting in...
Agent Bronson peeing... i mean reporting in...
* Today's music featured will be DANGEROUS by Michael Jackson
Once again, our mission was perilous, fraught with untold danger. Every step could be our last, any mistake could be fatal but the courage in our hearts overcame that fear. Our mind was focused, we were in tip-top condition after a rest. In fact, the agents were also using their rest period to improve themselves by taking academic exams ( what, you think agent training was always practical and no theory?)
Let me give you an example of a question: (Try it out and see if you're an agent! The answer is at the bottom.)
1. What do you do when you see an enemy that is nearby but has NOT detected you:
1) You charge and punch his/her face till it melts on the ground.
2) Take a gun attached with a silencer and take him out quickly.
3) Persuade him/ her to let you through.
2. What will you do if you see an enemy and he/she has DETECTED and is CONFRONTING you. ( This question will show which agent you are like)
1) You smile and act retarded in order to escape.
2) You just stand there stunned, hoping the enemy will think you are harmless.
3) You pee on your pants (Guess who!)
Alright let's get back to business.
It was after our lesson of literature, a subject that is used by agents to detect lies, sarcasm and irony. Our mission was to safely get to the seventh level WITHOUT getting caught, the enemy seems to be getting smarter ( or probably luckier) nowadays. We rushed to the second floor, avoiding all the cameras planted to detect enemy intrusion. With speed, skill, technique, we used various stunts to avoid the cameras. Usually we would hack into the security system and disable all the cameras but time was running out... Not to mention that it is always more fun and cool to do all these stunts. We ARE supposed to be cool agents ya know ;).
The second floor was empty, anyone could tell ( ok not ANYONE, but trained agents are keen in the eye and sharp in the mind) that it was a trap set for us. After sweeping the area and making sure no surprise attacks were sprung on us, Si Cheng deftly pushed the cold metallic button of the lift.
Ding!
The lifts doors slowly opened, revealing a gigantic bouncer twice (or THRICE) the size of all three agents put together. We were in grave peril now. Fortunately the bouncer wasn't very bright at all. Si Cheng and I swiftly blended in with the crowded, pretending to be deep in discussion and walking along the corridor. Bronson... well... let's just say he's called Pee Boy for a reason. Once the humongous bouncer blundered past our two agents equipped with lithe and well built frames, we instantly did a 180 degree turn and rushed into the lift, with the bouncer barely a metre away from us. Of course, we did it so suddenly, so skilfully that it would have been tough to even know that we were gone. The lift door slowly closed, and the agents heaved a sigh of relief. Mission successful again!
This has been a great comeback for the agents, it shows that no matter what has happened, they have not become rusty in every area. Clear evidence has revealed that the agents have recovered from their bad luck streak and is ready to take on people who threaten the world... AGAIN!
* Everybody who actually reads the essays...
Answer time!
If you answer 1,2 or even 3 for question 1, you are definitely not agent material. The answer is none of the above, if you see the enemy just RUN for it. The question requires flexible thinking which is a strict criteria to become an agent.
If you answered 1 for the second question, congrats, you have mastered the art of disguise like Joel!
If you answered 2 for the second question, congrats, you have mastered the art of being dense like Si Cheng!
If you answered 3 for the second question, congrats, you have mastered the art of... oh wait... everybody can pee. Well at least you've learned how to pee compulsively like Bronson. Till next time!

The Irony of Exams
Yes, so let's start on a very very VERY^100000000000000000000e^0 important subject which is exams. Damn I just realized that the exam period is pretty fun ( ok, maybe not so for some but I had FUN!). Think about it, when the exams were here there were so many things to do ( or you could do - NO, studying is NOT included). We get dismissed early everyday, and honestly speaking do you really want to sit through 3 periods of maths rather than do an A Math paper 1 or something. Heck, I'd still rather do like... 2 papers of A math ( O level standard =D) than take 3 periods of maths... oh wait, replace maths with mother tongue ty.
Anyway, we not only had time to do stuff, we were like able to go home in the afternoon and take a nice nap! Since when did we EVER have the chance to do that during the normal school days anyway. By the time we reach home, it's like 4 and you're like " Damn, I'm in the middle of nowhere. I can't sleep because night is falling and I can't concentrate because I'm so TIRED!" But of course I have a very simple solution for you and it lies in the wonderful substance called caffeine. Drink one cup of tea to keep awake till night, one cup of coffee to keep awake till the next morning or one double shot of espresso to kill off your kidney. Now I'm not encouraging you guys to start chugging down loads of tea till your kidney splatters out through your mouth or something but if you really must keep awake this is a good alternative to banging your head on the wall multiple times.
Of course there ARE bad points to this... having drinking tea for a few years I realize that even though I am able to stay awake ( just to hear you breathing... ok cancel that) I am still unable to concentrate as well as my super intelligent brain equivalent to four super computers that are overclocked should work. Note: I am using hyperboles to get my point past... oh wait wasn't the topic supposed to be about exams. Must be the effect of the tea that allows me to ramble on randomly.
Anyway, exams are definitely superior to normal lessons. This effect is only temporary, but can easily be remedied if the exam scripts weren't marked. After all, exams give us a goal to work towards to ( haven't we been studying for 4 years just for an O level paper?). Notice how bored I am after the prelims are over - writing crappy essays to pass the time. Furthermore, everyone works ( though at a different level) to obtain desired results*. There's always to benefit of setting the path to a bright future ( that's long term), the mid term benefit of getting some cash from your parents IF they are generous or something ( applicable to some only), and there's the short term benefit - this is REALLY short term - of laughing in your friend's face.... Oh wait, scrap that part, people will probably hate you and unless you can guarantee you don't need friends and can constantly beat them to a pulp academically. I recommend you don't try this at all.
Well, well, well... better stop here eh? Anyway it's already pretty long and stuff, and it's not about secret agent missions so if you guys read this you'll probably be bored to tears... if you even manage to reach this portion in the first place. At least the blog is revived right?....Right? Eh anyway I don't think the title really fits but who cares! I can't possibly put the pros and cons( of exams+ of caffeine). Great now i'm blurting stuff out randomly and telling bear jokes. Better stop now... see you guys on wednesday!

well anyway, i think teachers day is going to be last event that our class will celebrate, as a class officially, bfore graduation day. on the day before teachers day, i was burdened by an anxiety that event wouldnt be, ya know, fun fer everyone. years of organising bbqs has taught me one thing- to hav everyone enjoying themselves, n havin a great time with one another, is the only thing i wish for, for every organised gathering.
i guess the biggest problem that provoked me to great uncertainty was the song. whilst doing the "cheesy" ppt, i was thinkin. this aint gonna work man. tis bad.
i consulted brian online for help.
sc:im considering now
sc:whether
sc:we even want the whole class to sway behind
sc:cos like, quite idiotic (this meaning the swaying movements)
brian:class effort man
sc:surely will stop swaying aft a while
brian:its teachers day
brian:not teachers and part 4c day
brian:and leave them behind
brian:eventually they'd sing
brian:whether they like it or not
brian:because its dumb to just stand behind
brian:so just leave them the same way they were today
sc:ok
you cld say that the reason that made me feel so unassured was last year's gathering. the very first. yall wld know, that the gathering was planned on impulse, on mere preassumption, on inexact estimation, on faith in the class. bam. crumbled into nothing.
stopped me from daring too much, or to an even larger extent, from understanding too much.
I guess I didn't understand what stuff 4c was made of. didn't understand the circumstance, the situation, that brian did think of.
as we all should know, teachers day went better than planned, surpassing expectations, and pounding all doubts. well.. it was a shame for me to think such things.
guess this class of ours seriously did teach me many things. Not just this teachers day, but the whole year. i entered 3c with a young, immature, narrow-minded view on many things. but after this whole experience with the lot, i feel i owe this class alot more. we may be the last in grades and stuff but i think this experience has been one of the most enriching ones in sec four.
learned to be alot more real in life, being more human to ppl.
learned what acceptance meant.
learned how different people can, in taste and in character, still befriend one another. tis has been a serious eye opener.
learned that it is not good to begrudge, detest, berate openly, anger.
etc.
im inspired to create the class tshirt before our next gathering aft o's, yea so in conclusion..
PLEASE STUDY HARD AND DO NOT PROCRUSHTINATE THIS HOLS BECAUSE TIME DOES NOT TURN TO UNLEARNED TIDINGS. see yall around, soon :-)

Happy Teacher's Day to all!
Of course there were teachers as our accomplices as well (quickly take their names down and arrest them for vandalism and obstruction of justice!), even though miss koh and mr hazrin saw us all giving mr lim's car a great makeover without his approval, they simply stood there (guess what?) TAKING PICTURES.
Anyway after the car was done ( free of charge to our BELOVED mr lim), we all headed back to the canteen where there was supposed to be the BIGGEST PARTY OF THE YEAR! Wow, I was so excited till i found out it lasted... just about five minutes. (But it was still big!)
We were supposed to start at around 815 but due to some problems like finding plugs finding teachers finding lyrics AHHHH. But everything fell into place about 15 minutes later and we were supposed to perform "I don't want to miss a thing".
Note: I never thought that the song could get more cheesey but guess what si cheng did in his presentation to make it cornier? Quote: "Don't want to miss the teacher's things"
... Wow... I was stunned for a moment.
Anyway the show HAD to start, time was running out and my heart felt like it was gonna give way anytime ( my leg was no better).
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
That's all i could hear... I was worried though resigned.
They started to play... I was like thinking... uh since when was there an intro. Then I asked Si Cheng and he said " oh we're supposed to start when brian starts to play"
Then brian was giving us the " What you guys doing look". Ha ha =D... in shock, i exclaimed " START ALREADY AH?!"
Oh well that was already a BAD START ( bear pun!). Well the actual thing started and I was a little hesitant at first because well... I didn't know how it would turn out and everyone was like not singing. But then it's the last teacher's day so let's throw everything out of the window and GO FOR IT! Even if my singing stank at least it'll only be 3 months before I have to stop avoiding everyone haha. Amazingly everyone started to join in and it was like perfect, everything fell in place and spirits were high. I think we did good, great, just out of this world because it really took alot of courage for you guys to sing man. I know this and really, thanks everyone.
I mean, maybe girls or women or females don't understand this but it really takes alot of bravery and courage for a group of males to just stand there and sing that corny song (corny, but i like it :D). So, I was pretty surprised when I asked miss koh on her opinion on the performance, it went something like this.
"So what you think about the performance?"
" Oh it was a GOOD EFFORT"
"Hmm yeah, we didn't really rehearse so I was surprised it came out quite well."
Ok this is the punch right in the face.
" I said GOOD EFFORT not SHOWSTEALING SPECTACULAR."
And this folks, is what they call brutal honesty.
Of course in order not to look like a total villain, I would say that she said it was good and fun and heartfelt but hey, the damage had been done and it hit right in the heart. So now I guess we know whose car to target next year. ( Hint: It's small and pink and super girly.) Let's buy the smaller and stickier post its. HeH HEH HEH! Ok now it's time to say just kidding so it would look like a joke... look like :D.
Anyway we ate some cake and showed mr lim a video of his car being operated on, then we went there had a few laughs and stuff it was a great time of fellowship and fun. I don't really think I can describe it in words- you just had to be there to experience it.
Well, as you can see, everything fell in place as it should. It was a phenomenal event at teacher's day 2007 - the best, in fact, from my experiences- and it won't be something the class 4c or the teachers will be forgetting soon ( i hope). Well, have fun and enjoy your holidays for we're in for another week of highs and lows as the prelims slowly return to our sight radius... Be prepared!

Teacher's day
I'm sure this year is gonna be great even though it's in the midst of prelims haha, I don't know why but sometimes i actually DO miss school... more of missing my friends and SOME of the teachers ( SOME =D). Last year in Victoria, Last teacher's day, I'll give my best for the performance and I hope everyone does to.
The plan seems to be pretty simple, those that are supporting singers just have to join in during the chorus and just hope for the best... as quoted by Mr Lim :D. He's really gonna be getting a great gift from 4c... heh heh heh...

Bouncing with Super Saurus
Well it all started with a simple lunch break during Friday Lunch Club... except that it was on Wednesday ( I think). Note how I am simply unable to remember minor details. We had a meal at the food court at basement... what a lie... that place was actually a gigantic mining site full of hidden treasures. There were antique tables, exotic chairs, foreign food straight from korea and other parts of the world. It was no surprise that was home to the legendary Super Saurus.
After that simple meal of rocks and wild beasts that we had caught with our bear hands (whoops i meant bare), we decided to venture into an untold place of adventure, danger and excitement! We creeped our way through the vast complex, hoping to find more treasure... we definitely hit the jackpot when we spotted a Super Saurus hiding among other animals- a pig, a cow, a dog (maybe two)-all through our binoculars. We silently made our way through the rough and intimidating terrain to have a closer look at this rare finding. The Super Saurus remained relatively still upon seeing our arrival, it was probably cautious ( perhaps even curious) about these strangers. One brave soul set out to pet it... It was the PEE BOY! We were all afraid that the pee boy would pee on his pants - or even worse, on us! However he just calmly petted the enormous creature once on the head...
BOING
" What the heck?!" I exclaimed. " It's too addictive, let me try!"
I petted the creature once.
BOING!
We were astounded by our amazing discovery, the Super Saurus was extremely friendly ( in fact, it had this stupid grin on his face that could not be wiped off, as if it was printed on him). We were all happily petting the Super Saurus vigorously when the keeper of the Super Saurus arrived... and she had a fierce look at her face that just said " Stop harassing the Super Saurus." I guess the legend was wrong... the Super Saurus didn't kill people, the Keeper did! We tried to explain that we were all archaeologists but had forgotten to put on our badge.
With that... we just BEAT IT!!!!
Beat it... beat it... beat it (pause) beat it beat it ( panting sounds)
We arrived at a mysterious store full of toys but I'll touch on that in the next post... So many things happened this week man...
