short post!

Hey! I’m just back from school (music exam) which was pretty okay
I guess.
I shd manage a B?
Or even scrape an A?
depends on my practical portion…

Well, I’m just here to do a quick post
Cos im slp-deprived, n I’ve got PHYSICS on my schedule later on
Yep, my last obstacle

5 minutes before I make my way to lalaland
5 hours of studying in bedok library
5 papers to go
5 days to freedom, temporary that is…
last but most definitely not least, approximately
5 weeks to a year =)

My mock exam for g6 is tmr! Wish me luck…!
Oh no, not luck, wish me all the best.
=p

Random Thoughts

1) Won't be so un-cautious in the near future.
You know why. He knows why. They know why.
However, I thank God that A's got a heart.
Naive? Maybe.

2) Studying. the process whereby your brain gets smart
But your head gets dumb.
MYEs are in two days. Not the least bit worried
Cos that part only kicks in within 24 hours of the hardest paper(s)
Namely THURSDAY. =S Bio 1 & 2 AND amaths.

3) Completed the book of Revelation.
Just a short sharing:
Revelation 19:10
"I knelt at the at the feet of the angel and began to worship him.
But the angel said,"Don't do that! I am a servant, just like you and everyone else who tells about Jesus. Don't worship anyone but God. Everyone who tells about Jesus does it by the power of the Spirit."

Revelation 22:13
I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.


4) It's the second month since we passed out of NPCC
I only remembered when i chanced upon zw's emo post
So i shall say that the videos i posted was to commemorate
April 19th.

Just felt like reposting this poem.
Enjoy =)

The times we share are very dear

With joy, smiles and full of cheer

As I leave, though tears will fall
I’ll remember the 46 of us all

I once said: “NP heals and never fails”
Its true, I’ve tried it before
‘cos every time you’re hurting, and you can’t smile anymore
NP will always be there to pick you up after the fall

To the juniors I’d like to say:
Don’t wait for the four years to slip away
Jia You and lead the way
Ask not what AHNP can do for you
But what you can do

Finally, a thank you to all the teachers
Instructors, past or present
Thank you fellow pioneers
And thank you dear juniors

Without all of you, I wouldn’t be who I am today.

SUMMER! 追赶跑 (studentcamp '08)

YES! i'm back my dearies, from the annual, fun-filled, gospel camp!

I'd just like to say that the camp,
being my very last,
was not as fun as those in the previous years...
But, even though there were only 7 of us in SQUASH,
we had a ton of fun!
Making new friends, seeking the truth,
chiong-ing, 追-ing, 赶-ing & 跑-ing!
I'll not run through everything that happened,
but u'll prob know it when the pics r out =)

The 6 NP gals joined (cos others were not free...) -- Rachel, Sheena, Wenxin, Jolene, Wanling n I. We were utterly surprised however when we found out that 7 of the NP Sec2s were joining us. Even more shocked when we found out they quit, n stunned when we knew MENG YEE was joining us. HAHA, a load of surprises huh.

Group Leader was MinHui jie, assistant leader was YuTinn jie. =) they rocked the camp!!

DAY1 : basically settling in, realising our houses (SPARTANS!) our groups (SQUASH) our bunkmates & new faces & lastly singing our hearts out. U see, i was having a mouthful of ulcers. n singing... wasn't a pleasant thing to do, but it did with all my heart n soul =D Ice-breakers was uber fun (thanks to sheena piggy-backing me) n we won a GOLD star for the games. We made frens with BOWLING cos we kept borrowing their penknife n kept lending them "our" glue while making our COOL SQUASH medal.

@ night, we had night games (basically station games in the form of record breaking). This is where some of us began to get bored... sorry if we did not include some people in this >.< I made frens with this Sec3 SJAB guy.. Philip i think, hahha, he's super STEADY when pouring stuff. lol. N i lost to many xiao di dis playing scissors paper stone. ='(

But the highlight of the night was when we attempted to do KUNGFU. 28 positions n we only remembered 10? we went into the room where Mr Yeow was. N gave it our all (including some... never-before-seen actions) HAHAHA, dun tell me u didnt laugh like siao after seeing it. XD bcos of our enthusiasm n sportsmanship we got ou SECOND GOLD STAR!

Lights out!

DAY 2 : of cos, a BIG dose of praise & wroship, followed by QT n BS. After lunch, we were briefed abt our next GAMES--Selection. There were basically 5 stations. N each grp had to complete each station before moving to the next. if it we could not do the task in ONE try, we would have to go back to the prev. station and so on. Initially i was SOOOO =( cos we KEPT going back n forth between stations 0 and 1. grr. n later on i found out sth worse happened. Females are just damn suay la can? Following my little "break" i went to look for the goup...n YAY! they moved on to 3rd station liao! =D i helped them to the fourth. N thats where we got worried. Water-war game next: we had to "protect" a crepe paper attached to rachel from tearing bcos of water. But we only had 7 ppl whereas other groups had 14? like... omg right? SO... we played it survivor style =p alliancing with BOWLING(fellow spartans)! who in turn roped in Water Polo (the SJAB sec3s) to gang up against 3 other non-SPARTANS. In the end all 3 of the SPARTAN goups came out victorious ^^. Final station was pretty easy n YES, that meant our THIRD GOLD star =D

The skit on the CHIONG family was pretty funny (tho there were many "HA?"s cos the ppl were a tad bit soft. We saw the gao3 xiao4 side of Jing yu jie (the camp OIC) during the skit which relli chged my perspective of her =)

Lights out!

DAY 3 : okay. super uber boring day... Pastor Jim came again today.(made me rethink about my career in psychology) But it was such an inactive day that i didnt even need to bathe. (nv perspire one bit) He talked to us about the 5 love langauges, and i did a test to find out that my top was Quality Time. I didn't expect it tho, and it's not 100% accurate... haha.

He also made us trace out our bodies n draw what we wanted ppl to know about us.. Lastly he touched on communication (not new to me) but i believe its true about how the content of ur words only contribute to 7% of the entire conversation. We then built a tower out of straws, satay sticks n newspapers + everything we had on oursleves. Most ppl used the walls n string above as support, but basically he was trying to illustrate that we COULD communicate non-verbally.

TIAN CAI ZHI YE!
we all dreaded this (at least sheena, rach n i did) the guys always won no matter what... cos they were just simply, the funnier sex. haha. BUT anyhow, we persevered to find our storyline (adapted from PANADOL advie) and tried not to make cold jokes. We injected as much fun as possible, n tho my part was small, i'd say it was the MOST successful skit i ever took part in X) haha, we got into the finals with a sec1 group (to much surprise cos bowling relli deserved it too) n we managed to win every other group (except Mr Chua's as usual) to clinch our FOURTH gold star by getting 2nd place that night =D

"SQUASH hao! SQUASH miao! SQUASH SQUASH zhen you xiao!"

Lights out!

DAY 4: THE LONGEST, MOST TIRING day. [[early]] in the morning 9AM. we chionged out of school to places i'd never been to b4.. Tampines first where we cracked our heads & went bonkers over a word-search. like omg...the main trouble wasnt the running up to 10th floor 4 times... but instead, the FRIGGIN word search. in the end the station master let us off without finishing the thingy. we proceeded to KALLANG stadium next, where we did a bit of a counting thing followed by some down-the-steps bowling. Lunch @ subway was next... SUPER refreshing booster =)

We totally disregarded the search for our teddy bear... regretting later on... but bo bian la.

Orchard was next. n i kinda lost my cool abit. sorry! >< color="#ff6666">kisses from ppl. lol, we had to redo 3 stations cos of a small boo-boo which made me pretty angry. But i was fine later on... maybe it was e heat n the running...

Back to tampines again where Wanling n i went up to rayseen's aunt's house to find ONE difference from a picture given earlier... we did it twice only n helped water polo too =) thanks to wanling's sharp eyes, we beat a few groups who were there longer than we were. =D

A bigger boo-boo lay ahead. Sheena led us to take a bus from the wrong side of the road... n water polo also followed =( we thus trailed all the way back to tanah merah station. FINAL BATTLE:: running up fr. tanah merah MRT.

when i finally ran up the church-hill, there were SO many ppl alr there. n bowling kept cheering for us ;) motivation to carry on =) we then had help from them to arrange the pics of those MEN they gave us at each station. 13th position =(
that probably set us back from clinching the top group @ SUMMER! 追赶跑! but i was OUTRAGEOUSLY happy for SPARTANS when i found out that the top 3 goups were all SPARTANS =) first handball, then bowling then baseball =)

Later they announced the winning groups for the 3 houses (titans, olympians & SPARTANS-SQUASH!) overall winning group- BOWLING (congrats once again =) ) n winning house... *drum rolls* SPARTANS!!!!!!

"I say SPARTANS u say oosh!"
"SPARTANS oosh SPARTANS oosh!"
"I say SPARTANS u say aa!"
"SPARTANS aa! SPARTANS aa!"
"I say SPARTANS u say oosh!, I say SPARTANS u say aa!, I say SPARTANS u say OOSHAA!"

CAMPFIRE, mass dancing, BBQing was probably the best ending to a camp =) the fire was cool, mass dance with rachel as my "man" just made me perspire like _______. ran round n round in circles; open open close close; left n left, right n right; TWIST wooo~~ hhhahahaha, gosh, enjoyed it to the max =D

BBQ took awhile to set up so we ate our roast ducky first. n drank our pepsi =D heh, being victorious takes some getting used to. =p we joined football (our bunk-mates) n helped them with their food. had lotsa food (n my ulcer didnt hurt!) we couldnt finish our food so.. .we went ard donating them. But most of it ended up at BOWLING. hahahaha. "we should have joined with Squash laa, then we got more food to eat. lols"

Sheena felt bored after a while.. so she decided to SCAM ppl. with diluted pepsi... after much "help" from wanling X) she took me instead as partner in crime n our first target -- Qin Hui. hehehe, he took a big gulp n wanted to spit it back out. we tried to stop him la... but to no avail. pooiii back into the cup. Sheena was fuming... haha, she made him choose another target. -- YiJun. =p he drank lor. n swallowed with minimal reaction. Then he "convinced" weien to drink it too.... HAHAHHA, blur blur, also drank. (@ this point of time.. we told them Qin Hui's saliva was inside XD) funny la, but after that, no one wanted to drink le. hee...

Lights out @ 4am when i called stef who apparently woke up to go to the toilet =)

DAY 5 : nth much really. just a reminder that my last student camp just ended... n that i would be feeling kong1 xu1. =(
