Secret War Journal[28 February 2010]
For some reasons not known to me, I could not access Blogger yesterday. which delayed the post for the Orientation, again. Oh well, maybe I would have time to blog about it later.
Secret War Journal[12 February 2010]
Taking a break from my hectic lifestyle now, hahas.
Since I have insufficient time to post the Orientation(Once again), let's talk about something much more recent, shall we?
NCHS Reunion
Met up with fellow NCHS-ians after the MJC Chinese New Year Celebrations.
Took some time for 4E people to assemble.
It was amazing that we all manage to squeeze in one small Bus 109. Hahas. We're all getting high.
We were in the same bus as the Ximin Secondary School(if I remember correctly)
And we were saying which which school was better. Hahas. Kind of embarrassing because we're in public but it was fun. Really memorable. (and like I said, we're all freaking high)
If we thought we're high, think again...O.o
Path to School
Okay, to be honest, this was the first time I am walking from that Bus Stop to my secondary School.
Did I mention I walk to school when I was secondary one to four?
So not bad, I pretty much used all forms of transport to school in my lifetime. :p
Car, Bus, Walk , Bus, maybe next time would be MRT. Hahas!
Along the way, we started cheering, doing MJC cheers. Starting with O. Hahas!
Can't wait to see how people would react back at Secondary School when they see us cheering for our JC. Hahas...!
Cheering Competition!
Make our presence known by cheering, though we did not head towards the hall to look for teachers. We went looking for our fellow peers first.
Interestingly, we spent so much time talking with our friends that the teachers had already left. LOL
That defeated the purpose of coming back to the school (or does it? ;)
Anyway, I manage to meet Mr Goh, Mr.Rahim and Mrs Sim.
Actually, I met Mrs. Sim at Compass Point. LOL...
Ms Tan already went home. Aww......
Since we were cheering in the Canteen (yes, we're still rather high), other JCs also started cheering. And thus, a friendly competition began....:p
Happy to say that MJC was the most united. Hahas.
But the rest were not bad too, I think we had an unfair advantage because we already warmed up while walking to school. XD
TJC reached school earlier than expected. I though they had some Road Race?! Oh well, glad that they reached earlier, don't need to wait as long. Hahas!
Thanks Beatrice, Wei Ting and Jia Pei for buying us sweets! But how come only got one cola-cola favour? Hahas, joking joking!
Mr Rahim treated us to drinks. Ya da best! :D
All in the name of Total Defence Day. Hahas!
Some photos that had me inside. LOL (hey, I'm camera-shy! LOLS!)
This picture was taken before I was ready! So unglam! LOL!
Ah, much better. LOL...
--
Did not attend the class outing though,...too tired from the Cheering and have to clean up my room later so I could not return home late.
Went ahead to Compass Point to return the books which was going to be overdue. And yes! I finished reading the book during the MJC Chinese New Year Celebrations! Opps? >=D
Met up with Chris and Jaytii and co. for Lunch Pt2.
Secret War Journal[6 February 2010]
Back to the past once more! Whee!...
Am not going to post Orientation@MJC yet, there's a lot of pictures to upload! So it would be rather photo-heavy, beware. Hahas! Fast forward to the coming Saturday after the Oreintation...
Lazy Lunch
Met up with Darian and Johnston at Bugis MRT Station.
They were quite late because they were rushing from the Canoeing Tryouts that day.
But Johnston very sad, parents later don't allow him to go for Canoeing.
Oh well, on the bright side, he now has more time to focus on studies since Canoe-ing takes up a lot of time. (Transportation to a water body from school and 4 times a week = OMG)
Had MacDonald's once more. Do you realise I keep eating MacDonald's recently? No!.....
I want KFC! :p
--
All of a sudden, I have no idea why but we ended up testing each other on Chemistry Definitions that we had learnt so far.
That day, I hadn't even memorise a single one. So when I reached home later, I went to memorise them all. :p
Opps?
Test me about Relative atomics mass and Relative Istopic mass! (and!...)
Have to thank Darian for this one, hahas. (Hey I was correct about the no.of particles in the mole definition as keyword!!!)
Sad Parting
Went to our workplace and submitted our Letter of Resignation. Finally met my instructor once more since she was not around when I worked for the last time.
She very funny. :)
She was like, "where you go?!"
Me: Not working le.
She: Why?
Me: School started
She: Oh...no wonder you disappeared since last week? Cannot find you. You like missing. Your friend(who is Johnston)'s partner also looking for him.
Me: (hahas!)I was here last week! You were not working that day, I think.
She: When?
Me: Er...last Saturday
She: Oh, I on break. Anyway, study well ah. Bye Bye.
Me: Bye Bye.
Felt a bit sad, she's very funny, made me working there fun.
--
We also talked with a cashier, she tells us to remember to come back whenever free. Okays! Hahas.
--
Choose your path of departure
After this, Johnston went to meet up with Trevor to play bowling while Darian and I headed to our respective homes. :)
Today, we are going to attend Emelia's Concert. Cool huh?
--
Met up with Johnston and his parents at their house first for dinner.
Had part 2 of Halo 3 there though we did not manage to complete the storyline together. Hahas...
Had dinner with Johnston's Family (excluding Emelia, of course, since she's at the Concert Hall already)
After Dinner, we rushed to the venue.
Rock on!
Met up with Johnston's Relative who had came along to attend Emelia's Graduation Concert.
We took one of the front rows in the Concert Hall so that we can get a better view of where Emelia is during the concert.
Had I mentioned that this was the second time I am in here?
I remember the first time, I was here because I was forced by Ms Lim to attend NCHS' Concert. Hahas. Still, it was worth it in the end so it was not a total waste of money. :)
Anyway, back to Emelia's Concert...
This concert is a graduation ceremony organised by the MOE, Music Talent Development Programme.
In total, there are many secondary schools which participated in this programme. Namely:
Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary School
Beatty Secondary School
Bedok South Secondary School
Chung Cheng High School
Evergreen Secondary School
Manjusri Secondary School
Ngee Ann Secondary School
Pasir Ris Secondary School
Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School
Raffles Girls' School (Secondary)
Siglap Secondary School
--
Under this programme, Emelia learns the Daruan.
--
Pity that I can't find any videos to show you guys how the music sounded. Hahas
In addition, the concert was graced by the presence of a renowned conductor, Ms Ding. Here's her Bio(click to enlarge):
My personal favourite should be the last piece(which I can't find the video so you people won't have a clue which song I'm referring to) and the one which includes the drums solo. :)
Photo Time!
Now, let the photo do the talking because they're screaming for attention! (LOL!)
This was taken immediately after the concert was over. Group photo time! Notice the background? It's the members of the National Chinese Orchestra.
And again.
Just us. :D
Hey, where's the clapping for Emelia? Clap now!
Finally, one last group shot before we headed home.(There is school tomorrow!)
Secret War Journal[28 January 2010 ~ 31 December 2010]
Time to set some goals for myself(as promised). This list will be updated whenever I found myself a new goal or when I accomplished one. :D
Secret War Journal[27 January 2009]
Alright, I'm like three post behind, can you believe that? Yes.
This is going to be a rather short post. Bear with me. :p
Details Details
This outing was really planned out of the blue and in a kinda short time but it was successful because there was only 4 people coming which made planning and coordination much easier for us. :)
Deciding on s Mindcafe Branch took the longest, I think.
We finally decided on the their very new branch, the Funan IT Mall!
--
I think at this rate, I can be considered their big fans because I had almost visited every single one of their branches around singapore. :D
Branches I had visited before coming for the Funan Branch:
Boat Quay
SAFRA Tampines
After visiting The Mindcafe@Funan, the only branch I had not visited would be the one at Prinsep Street which I have no idea where is it. :p
Call myself a Singaporean. Hahas.
Keller and I first before finally meeting up at Funan since it is along the way.
The agreed timing to meet was to reach the Mall at 12 noon. Meanwhile, Johnston and Darian would be meeting there at 11:45 while Keller and I would be meeting at Compass Point at 11:15.
At 10+, Keller and I were still using computer and I was like nagging him to leave his house since he is farther away from Compass Point than me.
He claimed that the shuttle bus is rather fast so he could definitely make it. (that I have no comments) But! He missed the shuttle bus so he had to run to the nearest MRT Station and rush to Compass Point. (That I have lots of comments. LOL!)
Opportunity Cost
Opps? I had been reading up on Economics (since School already started here on the other side...)
On that same day, Class 4D was going to Yi Cheng's House to have a Steamboat Lunch. Cool! But I'm not going, hahas.
Before you say I don't attend Class Outings, I did. In fact I just attended one a few days ago before this Steamboat Lunch Outing(which reminds me that I forgot to post about that...which means I'm going to post this first before posting this. ;)
The class was meeting together at Compass Point at 12 noon, so I was there 45 minutes earlier for a totally different reason. Opps? Heehee.
When I reach there that day, no one from Class 4D came yet, tsk tsk. Hahas! Joking!
(Anyway, I might want to run for my life now since the class may come after me since I did not attend the outing. :p Then again, maybe not. :p)
Lunch with Macs
Did I mention my current favourite choice of food for MacDonald's is McSpicy?
Maybe not. :)
I remember in my early days, I like the Fishburger, then came the Double CheeseBurger(I hate the pickles)
Then I tried McChicken until I found out the addictive taste of McSpicy. :p
Did I mention most of my favourite food are chicken-related? XD
Mmm! Anyway...back to the story, I accidentally took a lot of tissue from the counter because the chicken thigh slipped out from my burger. (Obviously trying to escape from my mouth. Hahas!)
The Games we played
Okay, we went to walk around, wasting time until the hour hand strikes 2 when the games finally begins!
Keller was complaining that the Mindcafe branch there do not have Settlers of Catan. Hahas!
We tried a new game, as always.
This time is a game similar to D&D, called MUNCHKIN.
Johnston won 2 rounds, Keller won 1 round.
Darian and I tie, at 0 wins. (LOL!)
Thanks a bunch to the three who ganged up against me. Hahas.
It's fun when you pit your wits against everybody. Large potential for success and large potential for failure. It makes the feeling of accomplishment all the more great and rewarding.
--
The next game we played was something like a hiking/trekking game to collect artefacts. I'm not exactly sure how to explain the gameplay here nor remember the game name. :p
But it was rather fast-paced and fun.
--
Went home after 5pm when the gaming ends.
Secret War Journal[25 January 2009][Long Post]
Didn't realise I had not posted about this until I was writing on my next post. :p
Of course, not doing anything injustice to Class 4D, I stopped writing that post and started on this. :)
See? Clap for me! Hee!
Meet up!
The agreed timing was 12 noon at Compass Point and the organiser, Ying Ying, told us to eat lunch.
Personally, I wish to say "WTH?" because what's lunch before 12? Hahas.
You know what's the cute thing? Ying Ying was late. Zzz. :p
--
Anyway, I went to Compass Point early that day to visit the library and borrow some books(will write a review of the books here when I have the time in the future. XD)
Finding the books took a bit too quickly than planned so I stayed in the library for a while, reading books before leaving to head for lunch.
Met up with Cynthia but turns out that she was at the Library. Ironic that I just left Library like 3 minutes ago?
Anyway, went for lunch (Cynthia wasn't hungry so she did not eat, LOL, she on diet ah? JK! :p) before going back to Compass Point to meet the rest of the Class.
--
In fact it was amazing, just half an hour ago, there was hardly anyone at the meeting place but now, around 12, almost the entire class is here already.
Glad to know most of us are on time. :p
But like I said, Ying Ying was late. :p
Tooth Fairy
When all those who were supposed to meet at Compass Point are here, we headed for E!Hub, which is just next to Downtown East.
Arcade!
The Movie did not start right away so we went for Lunch. (Ying Ying never eat lunch before coming and she asked us all to eat lunch first! =.=)
Went Burger King to have Lunch. I did not eat there since I already ate Lunch beforehand. lol.
So we chatted while our fellow classmates eat their lunch.
--
After our long lunch break, we still had lots of time to go for...Arcade! (Okay, so the heading gave it away...)
Ended up playing some arcade game with Wei Ting, Jia Pei, Bao Lin, Darren.
For some funny reason,we are able to keep playing, there is a lot of credits in the game that allow us to play again. I think we accidentally scan the card one time too many.
So we ended up playing this game for the entire duration and got ourselves wasted.
--
The Movie(Finally)
Sorry, if you were expecting the movie itself, too bad. I'm not a pirate! :p
So to make up for that, here's the trailer. :)
The movie's nice. Though that may be a bit bias on my side since I love comedies. Hahas.
But hey, let's take it this way, I won't recommend you a comedy movie unless I think it's funny. ;)
So that's your cue to watch the movie! Hahas.
In fact, it's so nice that Bao Lin watched it twice. (okay, though that may not be the reason but still...:)
The storyline is not bad though the beginning was rather confusing in the sense that I do not see the link until it all connects together later.
I think my favourite character would be the professor-looking guy who gave the useful tools such as shrinking paste, catAway, etc to the Main Character. :)
Pool & Dinner
Alright, after the Movie we took some pictures so without further ado...
Too tired to list every single one in the picture. So yeah..just look at their cute faces can le. :p
After the cam whoring, we went to the Bowling Galley. but not all of us wanted to play Bowling so the rest of us go play Pool.
My second time playing Pool, still as sucky but it was fun! :)
It's nice to play with friends. Hahas...
Played for one or two hours before I got very hungry.
Dinner! Dinner!
--
But the unexpected happened, (okay I should had expected this but still the chances were sorta low), my fellow classmates who played bowling came up and started playing Pool!
LOL, this is going to drag for hours and I'm hungry!
So Bao Lin, Cynthia and I left the Class and went ahead to eat dinner. (after paying for the Pool, of course) After that, Bao Lin went back to the class while Cynthia and I headed to the Bus stop.
The Original plan was to take bus 89. But hor I still think very funny, Cynthia can just take bus 3. XD
So! Change of plan, either bus 3 or 89 (so much more practical, not for me though)
If I take bus 3, I need to change bus. Zzz?
So I rather take bus 89, so praying hard for bus 89 to come first.
But Bus 3 came first. Zzzz.
Since it was troublesome to take Bus 3, I did not accompany her. I rather take bus 89! :D
Secret War Journal[13 January 2009]
Okay, before I start on this post, I, myself, will need some serious recap. LOL!
--
The Original Plan
I was supposed to follow Johnston and friends to SAJC. But it was too inconvenient for me to go there and go back to Meridian JC. So here's another plan I thought out on this day itself.
The Improvised Plan
Remembering Wei Ting was also going to MJC, I asked her when she would be going to MJC Open House.
So yeah, that's pretty much how I ended up going with Wei Ting, Cynthia, and Bao Lin to MJC.
There was a secret clause, I plan to meet Johnston and Jackie there. Johnston would be heading for MJC after SAJC. Jackie would be going TJC first before heading for MJC. Adam Robinson, founder of The Princeton Review:
No one bothered to teach you the most important academic skill: how to learn. Your teachers (and perhaps you) assumed that the ability to learn in a school setting was a natural gift -- either you were born with the knack or you weren't. This belief is entirely wrong. Learning is a natural ability, but learning in school is another matter. If school were structured in a way that better conformed to how you learn naturally, you wouldn't need me or anyone else telling you how to learn.
Random Quote, yeah. But I think it's cool.
Instincts
I walked all the way to my former residential area and took bus 89 to MJC, only to realise that bus 109 could reach MJC too.
I can board Bus 109 at a nearer bus stop. I could save way more time. LOL.
Let live and let learn. :)
Despite spending so much time walking to that further bus stop, I reached MJC earlier than planned. Hahas.
(Hey, the frequency of Bus 89 is way better than of Bus 109)
Oh! Before I forgot, I reached MJC's back gate and its back gate doesn't write "Meridian Junior College" in big font size. I almost missed that blue-coloured school campus if not for the fact that my instincts told me to alight.
As I was alighting, I was thinking, "if this is not Meridian JC, I'm going to scold somebody"
I think I probably going to scold myself. (for being an idiot) Hahas.
Thankfully, that's the school and I did alight. Phew! It's good to trust your instincts sometimes. :)
Since I was so early, the back door of the MJC was still closed. Gah!
Walked to the main gate. (yes I had that much time to do so) while waiting for the rest to show up. (No, not the magical way, silly)
The Meridians (see their names so cool, so much better than Nan Chiau-rens!) student leaders led us to take the goodie bags. I always feel strange when I take the Goodie Bags first when I enter another school's Open House because it gives me a feeling that I just came for the Goodie Bag. Hee...
Our funny tour guide. :D
Our tour guide is a student leader and he's pretty funny. Hahas
I remember this part of the tour...
Him: This is one of the most important facility, the toilet
(Walk a few more steps)
Him: The Toilets again.
LOL.
I know in MJC, there is one part where there is a lot of toilets(which was the part he showed us) and there is another section in MJC where there is a lot of water-coolers. Talk about clustering. :)
The Principal's Speech
The Principal was not bad. She's pretty good at cracking jokes too. Finally! A principal who can make students laugh(in a good way)!
One thing about her is that she's pretty realistic(yay!) which I'm sure would cause much confusion during her speech because she seems to imply that we should all go Poly instead. Hahas.
One thing sad about MJC is about the retainment rate. Haiz...
--
During the Principal's Speech, Johnston(using dalton's phone so I did not know who was calling me) called me but as I was in a lecture(sort of) I hung up.
Opps?
Hee Hees
The Game Club
Okay, that's short for Intellectual Game Club but I'm lazy to type. (okay so, I typed in full in the end, but I don't think that's the point. I think)
Spent a few hours playing in there.
Bao Lin is very pro in Blorkus! ( I hope I spell correctly)
Played some advanced version of Tic-Tac-Toe and Stress.
:D
Earned myself a scar there. Thanks Wei Ting/Bao Lin for the plaster. Hahas...
--
Cutting a lot of parts because I'm short of time so here we go!)
-- Lunch and Shopping!
After the games, with Johnston not anywhere in sight, we met up with the rest of the 4D Girls (wonder where the boys went to...)
After talking and sharing what had happened at the Open Houses, we headed off to White Sands for Lunch since the canteen at MJC was running low on food supply. :p
Upon reaching KFC, I received a call from Dalton again, this time I picked up and realised that it was Johnston. Hahas.
John: Emm, where are you now?
Me: White Sands
John: And where is that?!
John told I meant the White Sands Resort. LOL!
Sorry, my bad for the double meaning. It was unintentional!
-
After that, I tagged along with Eunice, Wei Ting, Clarissa, Cynthia, Bao Lin, and Siew Yan to go shopping before we all headed for Library and homed! With that, THE END! :D:D:D:D
P.S: Told you I'm going to cut a hell lot of parts. Hahas!
