The Final Countdown (Real one la...)

Today's Featured Music shall be the Final Countdown ( Surprise!).

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

Hello guys i'm back from Taiwan, land of hot chicks, screwed up governments and badly translated english! I won't be talking much about my trip because no one really cares anyway, I should just give you the interesting bits you gossipy $@#!%#@s!

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.

4C gathering

Heya guys, been extremely long since I last appeared here.

Gonna be organising the last gathering of the year for our class at either Kallang Cage or simply our own school field to play soccer, 30th december evening. Do please make yourself free, even if youre not playing its still alright to come :)

We can go out to Parkway or wherever after that to just have a simple dinner together as a class. Not really talking about a uber fancy dinner at jap restaurants or whatever, cos im not feeling rich at the moment. i guess simple's good even for the most significant days of our lives.

spread this around to everyone. see you guys soon and merry christmas!

EDIT:
it has been changed to 31st december afternoon and we're just gonna play soccer in school.. after that go pizza hut eat. see yall soon aye

Broken Boredom... more of the broke part

Hi guys, haven't been blogging for awhile haha. Just can't find the mood to blog and usually other activities ( if i have any in the first place) take priority over blogging. I am growing more depressed ( and bored) over the weeks of the holiday. It's really draggy and I miss my friends... Can't really connect with most of them now because they're working/overseas/busy and stuff like that. Suddenly having school is a blessing instead of a curse...

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
