30 November 2008[Settling down at new House]
Woke up late today. Must have been because I slept late yesterday.

Today, I initially plan to go work with my aunt to do fliers. However, after seeing that things are not as planned right now at home, with boxes laying almost everywhere like a sea of cardboard and stuffs to be arranged and kept, I plan to call my aunt to inform her that I’m going to work today but just then, I recalled that my new home had no telephone services yet. Oh bother!

So I had to borrow from my father his mobile phone and call my aunt. My cousin picked up, apparently my aunt is not at home so I asked my cousin to relay the message.

Sigh, $11 lost because my home had not settled down. So sad, haha.

However, I did quite a lot of stuff today, I made my younger sister’s bed, packed all my clothes, found the door lock(which I will discuss later), and lots of arranging of things.

Oh, a bit of background again because, again without the background information you would never understand what I’m talking about, I’m going to stay over at my best friend’s house tomorrow. So looking forward to it, had not seen him for a few weeks? Maybe a month. Hahas.
Going to Johnston’s House is always fun. J
I will talk about it when I come back from this quarter’s trip. You see, I visit Johnston’s house every quarter of the year.

You’re probably wondering why I bother to tell such stuff. You see, normally I would prepare for the stay-over by sleeping early for several days before going to his house and obviously packing clothes. Haha.

This time, the rushed schedule of settling house had caused me to have little sleep recently and worse by now, I had not even packed my clothes and decide what stuff to bring to his house. OMG.

And so the only time I had to pack my clothes for the next day is the time before I sleep. You can say I packed in a haste. I stuffed my PSP, and its charger in because I think John would like to see it. LOL.

I packed in so much in a haste that I almost forgot to bring bath towels and my toothbrush(I only remembered the next day Zzz….)

And the doorlock, yes, almost forgot to mention that. I had to find our old house doorlock as many of us have the key(including me) and would allow me to enter my home when I return next week since I often return at the dead of the night. The current one for the new house would not work as we only have two sets of keys and we needed at least three.

It took me some time to find but in the end, I found stacked deeply in a wardrobe. The freaky thing is that I just felt an instinct to search there all of sudden and I found it where I thought I would find it even though I was not the one who placed it there.

Scary, huh? Guess no one knows how that every happens….

29 November 2008[Moving House]
Today is actual day of me moving house, I have to wake up real early to prepare the boxes, and dismantling of furniture.
In fact, I woke up late (opps?) and my father had to wake me up to help him with the moving of house.

Shortly after waking up, my uncle came. Man, he was very early in fact, around 15 minutes earlier than the appointed time. Oh well, anyway, by coming earlier, he managed to help us a great deal.

To be frank with you guys, our family was not in the least prepared for the moving of house. Stuffs were not packaged for moving, furniture were not dismantled for moving, nor were the fragile stuffs wrapped.

Johnston had said that when he moved to his current home, it took two lorry trips and from morning to 6pm. That’s quite long but you may be interested to know that that is an executive unit which has two floors.

Can my family beat that despite the fact that our new home only has one floor? Let us see, shall we?

---

The others who are helping us arrived at around 8:09AM [GMT +8], they seem to come at a same time, I wonder why?

Anyway, by that time we’re pretty much too busy to really notice who came at what time so I’m not exactly sure either.

I was dismantling my younger sister’s bed at that moment; the clothes were not packed yet.
Basic Conclusion: We’re in a mess. Yep, we were.

---

We had to move those boxes and stuff to ground floor where a lorry is waiting for us.
Well, it could mean that most of them came by that lorry which could explain why they reach here at the same time, huh?

Oh well, and so I went ahead of them by walking to my new house (again!…Haiz….) to get ahead of them and open the house and all that to prepare for them to move the stuffs in. In addition, I have been asked by my mother to sweep the grains of rice sprayed with salt out from the corner of the house which she had previously placed on for good luck.
Well, I would call it troublesome but this is the first time I heard that by doing such stuff, good fortune would come to you. A bit strange, I wonder why we never did that in the past?
But that is not all, I’m also asked to cook a kettle of water and leave it boiling, apparently the steam bring good fortune for new homes. Yet another weird thing. I would call it a complete waste of water (and electricity since our kettle runs on it).

Oh, my family is rather strange or should I say too trusting. Now you would wonder why I would say such a thing. Well, the kitchen was not completed on the day when we were moving house. The contractor had earlier said that the kitchen would be done by the day before the actual day we’re moving but apparently they over-promised.
They said that they would come to complete the kitchen today too at 10:00AM [GMT +8] but they were late. In fact, close to two hours late.
Worse, the workers only worked for like half-an-hour and they went for lunch, which thereafter went to sleep right outside of our house. I was like, “WTF!?” Slacking in front of clients. That must have been daring or they really were insane. Or the most possible reason would be, they were poorly trained.

Well, this company is located on Singapore, called Furnishing 25, F25 for short. I would advice that you give maybe two weeks grace before moving house because I got a feeling that they would be 2 weeks late in completing their work.

Because the kitchen was not complete, a lot of furniture could not be placed in there and caused a major jam outside our house as furniture had no places to be placed on.

And the floor was filled with chips of wood pieces and dust due to the construction of the kitchen.

And you know what is the worse part? The kitchen was still not complete, it was halfway done then the manger claimed it is now 6pm[GMT +8] (when it is 5pm only =.=). Total disappointment.

They say they will come back on Monday to continue the work. “WTH!”

---

And so, in this moving of house, we took around 4 lorry trips(Wow!)
Took us all the way to 1:00AM in the morning(double Wow!)
And we had not finished settling in, beds were not made either, we had to sleep on the floor(Beyond Wow!)

I guess, my family won Johnston then, super amazing , not mentioning the fact that our unit only had one floor when they have two.

Wonder what’s going to happen tomorrow.

---

P.S: The reason it took me so long to post is that my father forgot to inform the service provider that we’re moving house and I had to handle this kind of stuff and only had internet on the 9/12. :-)

Secret War Journal[27 Nov 2008]

27 November 2008
Ah, this post can be quite confusing without some background which I had not talked about in the previous posts.

So what did I miss out in the previous posts?
I forgot to mention that my parents had decided to move house, a move to a location which is nearer to my school as well as my future younger sister's primary school.

So it's basically moving from Sengkang to Sengkang. Sounds stupid, huh? Well, it does to me especially after they signed a contract to sell the house we're currently living on and buying our new house then someone informed them that actually, our current house is near enough to my younger sister's school to guarantee that my younger sister will have a place in the next year's cohort.(they moved house because they were worried that my younger sister would not be able to enter the primary school because of the location)

One of my friend said it was for a noble cause because it was after all for siblings. And the new house is much nearer to my school now.

But, but, what really piss me is that when they were informed that the current house was near enough to my younger sister's school, they blamed me for not telling them. Even though I had pointed that out to them when they first suggested moving house. =.=
Yeah, everything's my fault. Stupid leroy conspiracy......

---

Enough of such talks, now to what had happened today...

---

Today is the day I have looking forward for the past two days. Today, I'm going to jackie's house! It have been a year since I went to his house. Wondered what would happen there.

Well I'm meeting Marcus at Compass Point first at 9:30am[GMT +8] before going together to Jackie's house.

When I woke up this morning, not long after that, my father asked me to move some boxes to our soon-to-be-new house before leaving for Jackie's house. I was like "oh no...this is way bad" but I couldn't possibly say no to my own parents and they had been very kind to let me go. I would feel guilt if I had not helped them.

So I did, since our new house isn't that far to the extent that we had to take a bus to reach there, I will need to walk towards my new house. The distance is slightly further than from my house to my school.

However, I forgot to mention that a trip to and fro would be a tiring chore, so never do that(even though I had did that several times already...)

Since I would be the first to be there at the new house, I need to get from my father the doorcode to open the house door. He gave me the number(no reason not to give, lol).

But I until now don't know whether is my memory sucks, hearing problem or my father simply said the numbers in the wrong order but the number combination did not allow me to enter the house. =.=

Thank god my uncle came to the rescue, he helps in the renovation of the house and therefore knows the doorcode, and I finally can move the boxes in and complete the task given by my father.

With that and severely late for the meeting, I rushed to Compass Point to meet Marcus

---

Apparently, I was half-an-hour late, a rare case for me since I'm often late for such meetings. Anyhow, Marcus was reading a book when I came. We exchanged books which was traditional for us as he would lend books to me and I would return some books to him while he lends me more books :D

I'm really grateful for the books. So as always, many Thanks, Marcus!!!

Actually, I kind of feel guilty today because I was late for the meeting and he had to read books to wait for me and cause him to be rather moody for the rest of the day.

Anyway, we went to Mac' for breakfast. I had big breakfast for my breakfast and guess what? I had not eaten it since I was primary three. That is way long ago. And I swear during that era the fast food restaurants gave me two beef patties and eggs instead of now which have only eggs and one beef patties.(okay, not to mention bread...)

I feel that they have over-charged me for that Big Breakfast, it's not even big in anyway.....

---

Then we started to talk about our primary school classmates, about how they are faring right now and that.

---

After that, it's time to head for Jackie's house. We normally took bus to go to his house but I think Marcus did not have the mood to take bus and instead went to hail a taxi.(Wow?)

And so, we went to a taxi stand and wow, so many people waiting there even if it's early in the morning.

Marcus did have the mood to wait patiently and so called for a cab.
Then I just remembered that my EZ-link card had no more value and had to top-up or else I would never able to go home since I take bus to reach home.
Marcus told me to hurry up before the taxi arrives. And so, I ran. When I came back, with my card value top-upped, the taxi had not arrived yet. Oh wow!

I'm faster than a taxi. HAHAs.

---

In the taxi, Marcus and I played my PSP.

---

Then, we reached Jackie's house area, mind you we had not reach his house yet.

The reason being, we had not came to his house for so long that we sorta forgot the address. HAHAs.
By some miracle, we reached his house and was surprised that his dog did not greet us. Later we found out that the dog had been returned to its original owner. Marcus must have been real glad because he is sort of allergic to them.

There were some awkard period of time then Jackie started to comment on how tall I grew(even his mother said so...=.=)
Then Jackie went to switch on his playstation two to let us play but apparently the ganes I brought cannot be read by it and some of his disc cannot be read as well(I think the console is spoilt, no I refuse to acknowledge that my discs are spoilt :p)

So we went to play starcraft, a RTS game I have playing since young and therefore Marcus did not want to play because he claim that the winner is very obviously me because I had plenty experience.

Well, I'm not sure what to say but I did win in the end. LOLz. Marcus and Jackie were Protoss while I was Terran. I nuked Jackie to death and sent full force to Marcus base after he attacked me.

After that, it was time for lunch and shortly after that Zhi Wen arrived. So sad Jia Zing and Jia He cannot make it.

So in the end, we played cards. This is like way sad, how come nowadays all the outings we end p playing cards. Haiz...oh well.

Then we had tea break, pandan cake! I eat almost half of it I think and Marcus was commenting how come I can stay skinny even when I eat so much. Then he went on to say Jackie because Jackie slimmed down over the years. These left Marcus and I think that made him slightly depressed since Jackie and I kept teasing him about his weight and size.

Then we went on to talk about how our primary schoolmates fared again.
Apparently tze siang dropped to Combined science which is very shocking because he used to win me in exams.

I heard Zhi Ping topped in his class and also in school for one subject. So pain....

and many more.......

After that, we went back to playing abit of stuffs before going home.

Ah, tomorrow is the actual moving house day. Going to be extreme busy. Hahas.

Cya!

Secret War Journal[17~25 Nov 2008]

17~25 November 2008
Right, by looking at the date range, you would be screaming "OMG..this post going to be long.."

Well, you may be right, or wrong. Let's see, shall we?

---

Okay, during this period, I got a part-time job from my aunt as a flier boy.

This kind of flier is the door-to-door kind one, which means that you have to give a flier in front of the resident's door. And that means you have to basically walk to all the house units in that area to give out fliers.

Yeah, more tiring than simple flier job like letterbox-spam or giving out fliers at a fixed position somewhere in a public area but this flier job is more rewarding in the sense that the pay is higher.

You see, 500 pieces $11 compared to other flier jobs 1000 pieces $10. The difference is so obvious right?

---

So where did I give out in my fliers? I went to give out at Punggol(Singapore).

It looked so small in the map(lol) but when you actually went door-to-door, you can actually almost walk til very tired. (to the extent you can drop dead :p)

I mean, the norm is 17 floors with 6 units each. walk til I almost want to sleep(opps?) HAHAs...

My uncle will always say we(me and cousin) give out very little fliers because we only do 500 when he does 1000. (opps?)

We lazy, welcome to the new generation of life. HAHAs.....

But hey I worked for so many days and earned quite a bit of amount of money. That I'm way happy!

Oh yeah, I not sure I have said this before but we took very long to finish even 5oo pieces in a day. Want to know why? You would probably understand after I explain....

First, after each block, we would meet at a nearby bench and just rest(or slack if you prefer) for several minutes. The longest we sat there and chat was around half-an-hour. During this period, we could have completed close to two blocks which would be around 200 pieces of fliers.

Secondly, whenever we went near any shopping plaza or supermarket, we would go shopping there for food and beverages. Hahas, would spend around ten minutes walking around inside the supermarket.

And so, we took so much more time to complete a simple less than two hours to distribute 500 pieces.

---

And now, a picture of the flier that I distributed for my part-time job:

---

Right, this pretty much covered everything for what had happened during this period(the important ones, at least).

Now on to what had happened on the next day....

MOE Learn@1°N @ 14 November 2008
--
Today is the day for yet another award ceremony!
This is a competition called Learn@1°N Climate Herald which is organised by the Ministry of Education of Singapore.

We were asked to bring ties for the award ceremony yesterday.

Did I mention I woke up late today? I think I just did...LOL...

In fact, I was so late that I had to eat lunch takeaway. Went to Compass Point fast to buy Macs. Hee!

Then Met up with Keller and Qi Xiang to take a train to Buona Vista where the headquarters of the MOE building is located at.
--
Didn't did much in the train except that Qi Xiang keep asking me to play "Heart Attack", must be super addicted to MRT Heart Attack. XD
--
Ate lunch once I was out of the train and we walked to MOE Building. Turns out that we're earlier than Mr Goh(we're suppose to meet him there..)
--
Oh well, since Keller was thirsty, we headed towards the canteen to buy food.

Security in the building is very high which is a good thing. We have to register for passes with our identity card before we are allowed to the canteen.
--
Going in to the canteen, the prices there are quite shocking. Okay, not that bad but the staffs in the building are sure in for treat there.

They have different pricing for staffs and non-staffs(how come students are not staffs?...lol)

Keller and Qi Xiang bought fruit juices while I bought nothing, the pricing was too high.

After they drank finish, keller say he now very hungry(that fella...=.=)

We bought sweets because the pricing were too high for main courses. HAHA....
I bought Halls Sweets. :D
--
Then we walked back to lobby to wait for Mr Goh.

Keller called Mr Goh so many time(reasons unknown) that apparently Mr Goh was furious.
--
Then Mr Goh came, all right show's on. Putting on ties...
So we entered the venue half an hour late but it was alright because it was just about to start.

When we saw the timing for the events today, it was quite disappointing because we can only go home at around 5pm[GMT +8]. So depressing.
--
I bought a book to read, so did Keller and got scolded by Mr Goh because it was rude to read when someone is talking on the stage :p

Then Mr Goh said he needs to leave early so we take the trophy on his behalf and when I'm free, I give it to him so he can present it to our school principal
(it's school politics again.)

The proceedings of the events went faster than planned and the tea-break reception we supposed to have at 5pm, started at 3pm. WOW!

The food were nice though. Didn't come wasted.

That reminds me. The prizes are not good. I prefer the prizes from IDA.
Prize for second:
$450 TIMES vouchers, a bookshop that doesn't sell much in the first place..Grr..
Prize for merit:
$120 TIMES Vouchers.. Grr...

Not to mention the trophies that are not even presentable. I would be disgraced to show to others sia. OMG..IDA trophies are so much better than this, man!

Well, you would be thinking, it can't be that bad. Let the pictures show and judge yourself.
--
Note: click on picture for full size image. The right part has been cropped due to size limit.




--
Then we headed home by train. Keller was super sad case. He leaves the train earlier than us by one station. I was holding on to everybodies' certificates and he totally forgot about the certificate(maybe he was too disgraced to take it)
Anyway, I reminded him and he was at the train doors. Then the sound came, "Doors Closing..."

Oh wow, nice timing. He was deciding whether to skip a station and take the certificate from me or leave without the certificate. In the end, he didn't took the certificate. When the train was leaving the station, he was glaring at me. HAHAs....

Secret War Journal[12 Nov 2008]

12 November 2008 @MindsCafe
Today is the day for NCHS's Infocomm Club celebration @MindsCafe.

We're suppose to meet at Dhouby Ghuat MRT station, Plaza Singapura Entrance before heading towards MindsCafe.

Then sometime in the afternoon, Kai Yuan asked on MSN whether to meet at Compass Point first or not. I was like, SURE! Haha, better than alone in a MRT. DOTS!

Then Keller called me to ask me the same question. However, later we changed the plan a little. We decided to meet a t my house ground floor first. A bit ironic right? We're suppose to meet at Dhouby Ghaut MRT station yet we're meeting at Compass Point before that and my house before that. And finally, meeting Mr Goh at MindsCafe. How many checkpoints are there? LOL. HAHA.

I had to bring my younger sister to school first. I skipped lunch since lunch will be provided at Mindscafe, it's a cafe after all -,-

So Keller and I met downstairs and started waiting towards Compass Point. For those who do not know about Compass Point, it is a shopping mall next to Sengkang MRT station.

During the journey to Compass Point, Qi Xiang called. He was asking when we reaching Compass Point. I thought he was very early and had reached Compass Point. Then it turns out that he barely reached there yet. Zzz..he was just confirming the location....=.=

Keller then told me of how Qi Xiang actually can forget that today is the celebration for Infocomm Club. Seriously, he is really a boy who gets confused easily.
Worse, he thought today is his class outing which is occurring tomorrow. DOTS.....

No comments on him. HAHA..

We met at Compass Point. Some of our juniors are already there. Kai Yuan have not came though.
And i thought he would be amongst the first.....

Oh well, when Kai Yuan arrived, we still have not entered the train.. Apparently, pei yu have not arrived yet. In the end, we moved on without her.

Reaching Dhouby Ghuat is the problem, it's when we're walking towards Mindscafe. We got lost, and I led them the wrong way. HAHA...opps!

We couldn't find the Mac House which was a sure sign we went the wrong way. HAHA, so we detoured and the girls were complaining. SAINZ...haha...

I thought we're going to be late and Mr Goh would be scolding us. So when we found that we're earlier than Mr Goh, I was like showing a shocked face. HAHA..

Played several boardgames. Such as "Silkroad","Dogville", "Settlers of Canan".

Really had a fun time there.

Not to mention the delicious food there. HAHA
I had lots of Ice Lemon Tea and Minds Chicken Platter. Mmm!

And the loo was filled with funny posters. HAHA...

Here's one:

Times passes very fast when you have fun and it was soon to leave that place. We took a picture of all of us together and it's currently at Keller's hand(he's a slowpoke -,-) and have not passed to us that picture.
--
When we came out of the cafe, it was raining. I didn't bring umbrella. What luck!
Keller and Qi Xiang didn't either. HA....

Zi Ying good la, she has hood though she didn't use it -.-

Kai Yuan share umbrella with me and Zi Ying. So kind! Thanks alot man!

Keller and Qi Xiang took newspaper which some of our juniors(wasn't sure who) passed to them and they used it as shelter. Very funny sia, they two.

Call themselves trible science when simple logic demands that paper gets torn when wet. They make a mess of everywhere with pieces of newspaper dropping to the floor. They even threw a large piece of newspaper to the floor. Open littering. =.=

Nope, I don't know them :p

In the end, they went under one of our Junior's umbrella too.
--
Then we reached the MRT station. HAHA..we were very bored in the MRT station so you know what we did?

Hee, the MRT train had a pole for us to hold for support. Then I suggested playing Heart Attack on the pole since the middle of the pole allow us to put our hand in suspense, and allowing us to play.

A lot of people say I crazy because no one played Heart Attack on a MRT train before, didn't look possible. Still, everybody played. HAHA!

It was fun, but we made a lot of noises so I end the game after two rounds to calm everyone. Qi Xiang got addicted to the game, but I prevented him from starting another round to not get disapproving looks from the public.
--
When we reached Sengkang, it was still raining. I walked back home without umbrella, all wet. But I reached home so I changed to dry clothes immediately :p.
--
Played with Johnston til late at night. :p

11 November 2008
Woke up very late today, I think around 11am[GMT +8]. Must have played too late yesterday. Ha-hahs.

Well, today is my younger bro's b'day and I didn't remember until my mother called and told me to pass her my younger brother's milk bottle to school.

My younger brother's school was having classes. It is a pretty small school and they were celebrating my younger brother's birthday when I entered. Then I remembered. Ohhh...

Well, in the end, I didn't exactly wished him a "happy birthday". Wasn't given the opportunity, I guess.

Well since, our family have to celebrate my younger brother's birthday, I can't really go for her chalet right? Haiz....that is because I fell sort of guilty for actually forgetting my younger brother's birthday despite his good dates in his birthday. 11/11 for day and month. Hownice is that?

I heard that such number have a special meaning but I had not really go very in-depth of what it means. can someone give me a link to the hidden meaning of 11/11? Many thanks!

We had cake which is expected for a birthday, right? It has cream and chocolate. Mmm..delicious. HAHA..

Sorry for not showing you any pictures of the birthday celebration becuase my mother is currently holding on to them so I can't upload to the net.

Right today, I went for Ponti's chalet. Apparently, it's her b'day(didn't knew til I reached there..lol)

Right, where was I?
--
Oh, yes. Today was super busy. I woke up late which is around 11am[GMT +8].

My younger brother's school has ended. My mother is cooking my younger brother's lunch so she does not have the time to fetch him. So I went. My sister know the way so she tagged along.

Did I mention it was raining? Guess I did not. :p

Took me sometime to find my younger's brother's school since my sis brought to the wrong place. =.=

Well, wasn't really that late anyway. Hahas...
--
Oh, and I forgot that I have to help my father with the renovation. Haiz....so after my mother came with the noodles(me bro's lunch), we headed towards our under construction home.

And, god! It was raining. My sis already got fully wet(even when we have umbrellas.-,-)
Don't look at me, not my fault, she keep playing and want to get out of the umbrella's cover.

And the pavements were flooded. My younger brother likes playing with the water puddles that are present t the pavements and he keep stamping on them, splashing water everywhere.

He was wearing raincoat and yet his pants were wet because of the water being splashed into the pants. LOL. Then when we are walking, his pants keep dropping.

I brought my PSP along and was worried that it would get wet. Under maximum protection due to it playing music, I want to listen when walking.
--
We reached our new home and for the second time, I glanced at my future home. But I did not have the chance to fully observe, as usual, as my sister's school is about to start. Have to bring her for lunch and bring her to school.

So my sis and I parted with the rest of our family members. We headed towards Macs. Had MacChicken for lunch. We rushed back home because my sis's clothes are wet, had to go home and change.

Thus, she's late for school, by 3minutes. HAHAs. Hey it's better when my mother brings her to school, ok? She's normally late by 15+minutes, so this is an serious improvement. I think the teacher is glad that I took over bringing my sis to school. HAHAs.
--
After that, I thought I really finally get peace and can start preparing for the chalet when during 3+pm[GMT +8], my father called.
He forgot today the basins were coming to the new house. I have to rush to the new house to supervise the shipment and sign.
And so, my fourth time entering my new home. Didn't have time to observe either, had to rush back home to prepare for the chalet.
--
Reaching Downtown East, I sort of lost my way to find the chalet. I didn't knew it was in NTUC area and went to search the DownTown East Chalets, no to mention all with lots number 2000 and above.

Ponti's chalet lot was 1619 and I was getting confused.

AND!

NTUC entrance very extreme misleading, there writes entrance fees. I was like WTF!?

In the end, I enter without paying money, reasons unknown. LOL!
--
I was late to arrive. sigh, I'm that late.....

When I enter, I almost didn't recognise Ponti's face, thank god she recognised me. HAHA.
--
Can you believe it? They took 2 hours plus to start a fire for BBQ. LOL! Okay, it's pretty average but later i say it must be because of those wearing black that absorb all the heat and prevent a fire from starting.

Lai Yin and Chris so loving! Cannot talk much about it though(sad right?). One, later, I get killed, two, they're not my business anyway. Best let them advance at nature's course :p

I'm so evil....lol

Alot of people brought PSP(me too). Though most of us went playing black jack. Eugene, darren and ponti's dad went BBQing the food(and started eating them too.haha)

Jaytii brought PS2, don't know what for because she brogh only one controller, totally spoil the fun of bringing a console. Haiz....
She should learn from us, the 6/5-ers. HAHAs
--
I have to leave early, thanks to lai yin who lives near my house. -.-
Her parents ask me to tag along with her during the trip home and she needs to be home by 10:30pm[GMT +8]

WTH!?

Things were just getting warmed up here. SIANZ!!!

We took bus to the bus stop, nearby her house then her parents will fetch her.
I left early because the situation was too awkward.
--
Since I'm home early, I played with johnston until late at night.

9 November 2008
Phew! Okay this is going to be one super long post because I have not blogged for so many days. HAH.

I have been busy lately, hardly played any games(except PSP, Opps?)

Sheesh, let me slowly talk about what have happened for the past few days? Pretty please...?(lol)


Right, first on the list. NICA Awards...Onwards!

---

N.I.C.A. Awards (National Infocomm Club Awards) -- Singapore
This fall on 3/11/2008.

Zi Ying, Jian Zhong, Mr Goh and I met at sengkang MRT station first as Mr Goh have a lot of things to carry for the presentation for the Awards ceremony which will be located at HarbourFront, DragonFly@St.James Power Station.

Haha, to be frank, I didn't knew Zi Ying would be meeting us at Sengkang MRT station. So I was kind of shocked to see her(she being first among the three, I earliest)

While waiting for them, I saw ponti at the exit/entrance of the MRT station. So this where she goes before going to school.
Anyway she was waiting for Angeline, that part I know long ago already. :p

I reached the MRT station too early, nothing to do, so I went to get the "Today" Papers. The "mypaper" have long queue and that distributor have not even came yet. Wow! So popular. Sadly, I am weak at Chinese so I did not take that newspaper.

Mr Goh was the last, guess the amount of stuff he was carrying slowed his movement speed. Haha..

BTW, we're headed towards the HarbourFront, and apparently it was peak hours when we entered the MRT station. When we boarded the train heading towards HarbourFront, the train was flooded. We have to stand, some more we carrying laptops and projectors. Zi Ying was the luckiest, nothing to carry, I think that is because she is a girl. Then again, may be pure luck. LOL

So there we are, Mr Goh, Jian Zhong, and I reading newspaper while standing and carrying stuffs though we later place it on the floor but reading while standing was WAY awkward.

When we reached like two stops away, we can finally sit down because there are available seat at last. But I don't see the point of sitting when the journey is almost over. :p

Oh well.

At the exit of the MRT station, we met with the juniors. I kind of pity them, have to suffer with us. LOL...another day of holiday wasted :p....

Keller have not come yet, must be late. I called him. His father is taking him directly to the venue of the award ceremony. Okay, fine. If he's late, he's dead :p.

Mr Goh asked if any of us are hungry, I think he is. LOL....
Well since we're relatively early, we split, those have not eat breakfast follows Mr Goh to eat while the rest of us head towards the venue to set up our booth.

Finding that venue is quite easy since Keller and I went there before for the award ceremony rehearsal.

In the end, we won second and Student's Choice Awar

Yep, as the saying goes, a picture speak a thousand word. (and I lazy to type everything)

So hobey ho, let's go!

Secret War Journal[1 Nov 2008]

1 November 2008
Today is open house for my school, Nan Chiau High School!

I actually didn't intend to come at all but on that day, I woke up earlier than planned(planned to wake up at 10am)

Zzzz....Since I got nothing to do, so I went to help out at the Open House. Haha! So flexible right?(Excuses..Excuses...:p)

Hee hee, right where was I?

Well, though I woke up earlier than usual, I'm actually was late for the Open House. When I reached there, the booth for our CCA is already set up.(opps?)

Didn't really help much. This is because my real purpose was not to help out but finalize the details for the fliers for the coming awards ceremony(NICA)

Yep, so we, Keller, Qi Xiang, and I, end up printing the fliers and the posters. Then we went home at around 1pm. By then everybody had went home. Dots!

Anyway, that Jaytii was very lame today. I was in the lab printing on the fliers then came a knock on the lab doors. I turned my head....

I see jaytii, she montioning to me to come out. I went out throught the back door(front door was locked)

I was wondering why couldn't she just come in and talk to me *Roll eyes*

Anyhow, I went out and asked her what's the matter. She said, "Just wanted to say hi to you"

Then came a breeze of wind and my lamed face =.=|||
She dare to laugh.......grr.....

And thus started me getting lamed whenever she knocks on the lab door(repeatedly)

Anyway, as I was going to go home, I met Jaytii and started to talking. I was asking her where she was eating lunch since I do no know whether the canteen was open(and I was hungry....)

As we are walking down the stairs, we saw cynthia. I waved to her. She replied me with a frustrated shout/cry/scream? No idea. But is 100% vocal(& real -,-), not me suffering from mental illness(lol!)

I was like, "Do you have to give this kind of reaction? What the heck? I simply waved to you...." -.-

Anyway, later(very later) I asked her why she got that kind of reaction when I waved, she said she was too exhausted because the school called her CCA to re-order the tables that was moved for the open house(which is alot of tables, apparently)

I sorta half-believed. Actually, I'm kinda confused, too exhausted to wave back? That's a first(wow!..lol) Oh well, let's dwell on that. ;)

Don't know whether to look forward to NICA Ceremony or not. LOL
