It seems that I'm blogging here more than the frequency of me blogging at my own blog, which is also larger than the frequency of me going out with my class.. You wonder why Hock Boon used to be the only one blogging.. That's because he was mugging while everyone was partying at Macs. Then now in an attempt to mug even more, he comes up with the excuse that his parents banned him from the computer (reason being overuse) and possibly he's blocked us from his MSN to prevent us catching him online..

Just something to add, Cornylamer put TCube's famous quote as part of his MSN display name..
Hi all! Had CO orientation today... they were playing some "mystery" game, which we had to find out who what when happened... quite funny lar, because some teams couldn't find enough clues so they gave rubbish answers... like Hongwan stole the don't-know-what from the CO room through the window.., like there are windows in the CO room.... but my group was quite crap... initially we had 6 pple, and only 3 of us were relatively enthu, so later 1 when off, and 2 more spotted their OGs, and decide to leave the 3 of us to find the seniors down at Orchard... hmmph... anyway, we were pretty close to guessing the answer... just got the item wrong...=(

Oh yes, must mention that my class was super lame yesterday-- during Chinese, they were all asking how to write stuff in Chinese, and f maths became geng4 yuan3 de4 shu4 xue2, sin cos tan became zui4 guo4, ying1 wei4 and chen2... the lamest was trip science(die1 dao3 de4 ke1 xue2)....=)

Anyway, I think Ben, you misunderstood... the force A force B thing was referring to someone trying to jack others but ended up being jacked back.... by the way, Tecktee hasn't blogged for some time.... someone go prod him please...

Hey all! Bring bubble tea straws on tuesday in the morning and let's all make 口笛s! It's a fun, easy and more portable than harmocs!It's cheap and easy to make! And it's easier to play than grass! (please do bring bubble tea straws on tuesday morning, then I'll show you all how to make it... it's really fun and 1 takes less than 5 minutes to make... and please bring a pair of scissors along...) melho and yeatian--I think you all have seen it before-- was making some for my juniors...=)

Okay, please remember... or else no 口笛s...

Home from a long day out. quite shagged.

ODAC today was quite sad. only 11 J1s turned up. the J2s outnumbered us... 2 girls... and they had to split us up into two different groups. Wu dao was 45 mins late and had to run to catch up with us. did a lot of walking (quite fast speed too) and the worst or best part was getting wet and slightly muddy. oh well. still can't decide if i am going to continue with it. seems interesting enough even if it is a bit exhausting. and takes up 3 days of the week. to slack or not to slack? that is the question. coz i am not sure about the PEARLS aspect in terms of ODAC and i sort of gave up on it already since i can never achieve A or R anyway. oh well

anyway. i am starting to agree that people are not blogging enough. everyone blog!

melho



Yeah Ben I like the way you phrased it: "we'll stand strong while we slowly watch other OGs collapse one-by-one..." Haha already my friends are amazed that we still stay out till 10+ at night. It's such an achievement for Sixireon but why can't parents understand? =D

Btw looking at everyone I'm beginning to see how nice my parents are... at least I can stay late and they won't do anything... Or are they smart enough to know that I'll feel bad anyway?

And if no one's blogging, it's bcos by the time we reach home we sleep or do tutorials... no time for blogging haha. Imagine catching the last mrt ("mert") ride home. Fun isn't it?
Today I went for Math Soc from 2.30 to 3.00 playing Bridge in LT4 watching Xing Cong making a fool of himself (to Hock Boon's delight) and then when Joel came and took us to the Speaker's Corner (i.e. our jacosy), the games began but after two rounds of pass the parcel I left for PE. I intend to use 4 different CCAs for different parts of PEARLS. And Math Soc is mainly for E only.

PE was from 3.50 to 5.10 and then I had to sleep during the video on weights room which I hardly am going to visit as far as I know.

Then I skipped Harmoc to go volleyball trials since I didn't pay up for the Harmoc on Thursday anyway, and the trials ended at 6.30. Sad to say that though I did have connections in the team, I somehow did well for practices but poorly for the actual tests. The spiking I hit the first 4 straight into the opp court but I lost touch when the real thing came. Digging was a disaster and so is being 1.64m short.

At 7 I continued to play casual volleyball until I thought that it was time to go BBQ at 7.20 (I was hoping my class had finished the BBQ and was waiting for someone to finish up) Little did I know that they had barely started the fire or I would have gone for astro club. I doubt I'm gonna drop out of Astro cos it can give me valuable points (except P,L,S,) if I can make it which is unlikely also.

The BBQ was the junior treat senior thingy and it seemed like 2 separate class parties. Then when the J2s came and asked to help us cook my class went to a landing to play Truth or Dare and I went out on the excuse of getting chicken wings for the class. It was so obvious I wouldn't wanna get to answer cos the standard question were things like choose one member of the opposite gender to bring on a V-day date.

Anyway, how come no one posted today? C'mon Sixireon, we'll stand strong while we slowly watch other OGs collapse one-by-one.. As for basketball, it's postponed but it can well be considered cancelled as the rain will carry on for the next week I think..

-Ben-

Whee... finally got my bro's lazy butt of the laptop. shall blog for the fun of it.

today was really fun after astro. stay at macs play boom-o (is that what it's called) however, i must say the consequence of staying out after 11 is too great... at least didn't get too badly scolded by my dad... dare not ask him about class stayover on sunday though. haiz.

is no one else other than 9 people in our og going to continue astro? quite sad a decrease from last week. however today wasn't interesting as there were too many clouds and they let us real early which accounts for the letting us of 'early' even if i did arrive home later. oh well.

bridge on the train was quite sad since we had to keep washing. and the cards were so unequally distributed... and we had to play fast before huiling left at outram.

Ben you really not continuing maths soc is it? so sad. it is rather interesting and quite fun. today at least. i hope huiling agrees and i am not being an idiot or anything.

anyway. lesson learnt for today is that surviving with huiling for 4 hours (no offence huiling) and not killing her after that is really a very impressive feat in my opinion. i shall not add details.

Huiling still wanna kill you but i have more or less calm down. i forbit you to write or say anything on what happens during maths soc (esp the end bit)

so goodnight to everybody and hope to see you again if i survive the 4 hour hike for ODAC tomorrow. might get lost in the jungle or something.

~sorry bout the color but i was bored~

Why am I posting at such a late time at night? Don't ask cos someone was blowing a top at me (pardon my gamma) cos I came home only after the news ended while I still was on the bus.. Which was what Hockboon claimed would happen to him but which doesn't sound very likely since he has to be dragged to watch TV.

Btw, Teck Tee has successfully reached the first stage of his wonderful 'adventure' - Denial.
And I don't know what adverb to use but seems Woonyang has also reached that level.

As for the force = reaction force idea, I really think it doesn't fit in literally unless you want to say that the Earth exerts a pull on humans and humans also exert a pull on the Earth only that it is the Earth which stays put when we jump because of its huge mass. But when a human is being pulled by gravitational fields of other competing planets, she has to decide which one she'll allow herself to be pulled towards.

Usually forces refer to push not pull though I understand what Huiling was driving at I felt I had to bring this up, and plain water is obviously the best choice over any other beverages.

Pay Day was more interesting last night because TCube employed a new strategy to counter the idea of "your money is my money". And not that I want to say but he seems to be making his so-called mistakes (during the conversation) on purpose, though he says he is only rumoured to be part of the conversation. Good, now no one understands a word that I am saying. I like your style.. Anyway, it was quite obvious why he was so anxious to let someone win, same theory as "your money is my money".

I screwed up the bridge trials in the afternoon. The hands were rigged such that I would bid for the contract for two rounds while the opponents would bid for the contract for two other rounds. And each team was given a chance to go on a small slam (win 12/13) but then the round was void when somehow one person had one less card. I mean, it was such a perfect game, and I was the declarer in that bid. So I don't know whether I can qualify. Anyway I think I would go for Harmonica instead. Music appeals to my ears and harmonica is fun from what I think I tried 9 years ago. They said that it is ok to attend one training a week to get the attendance but for competition and concert purposes, they request us to attend both trainings sessions. So which means I can join Harmonica. Yeah!.. I don't know whether I am dropping out of astro as yet.. I expect to be dropping Math Soc also so who cares.. As long as I get a C for CCA its more than perfect..

Can we drag more people to come and blog? Now there are fewer posts per day already. Anyway, I better sleep now.. It's roughly 4 hrs before the time I need to get up..

Hai... had Chem Pract today... I redid the expt 3 times... while pple happily did it once and finished very early... let's see... first time I spilled the solid, second time I poured too much water, third time... let's see.... third time was correct!!! Maybe I really do suck at Pract (and choke on the pipetted liquid as well)... but anyway, let's be optimistic... well... at least I had more practice than anyone else....=)

Oh yes, me and junjie are heading the "drinks stall", but you all should approach me first... because the co-organizer is a tad busy with... ermmm... his own choice of beverages... hahahahahaha....=)

Btw, Tecktee-- if body A exerts a force on body B, then body B exerts an equal but opposite force, -F on body A..... =)

Well, hockboon, I was quite bored on the train so I did that question... speaking of maths, I had a weird dream today... yar, woke up saying sin cos cos sin..... no I still deny being a mugger...

Yay! Let's all go watch stars tomorrow...

haha break now! had an insane 4hour stretch of lessons. which is like baaad. 1hr 20 of Econs, GP. then math and phy is like so bahhhh. sorry.. haha oooh but phy s got cancelled! so dun have to slog aft school : ) and i can get away for not doing my tutorial = x

break's ending. bahhh. another math tut. got mock napfa test later. am so going to dieeee.
anyways you'll notice me blogging considerably lesser. = ( my internet bill came and my parents are pounding me. that's why 56k does suck (actually it's mysingtel). sighhhh. no more free access for me. bah.

anything urgent blah blah, any ingenious solutions to my problems (huiling haha) then msg/call me yah? haha and no, after 7pm, DON'T call my hp = p lols, whee. shall no go for lessons. we must always be punctual.

chenglim, i was going home not to do mug but to like do overdue stuff la. i'm lacking in time to mug. it's called catchup and maintenence = p hope you all have found ccas you all like = ) don't regret your decision or it'll be too late.

anyones thinking of council/faction? = p

Wednesday, January 28, 2004

Yay! finished econs can blog now before i go read chinese and mug more econs. Anyway Happy Birthday to everyone. today is ren3 ri4. today ODAC was a bit sad coz of the rain... made the place rather muddy and we had to do some wheel barrow thingy across a small lalang field... though it was fun running in the rain and getting lost and eating cheng teng (is that how you spell it?). have fun doing whatever you are doing esp if you are sleeping :p

melho
(a bit hyper and can't get to sleep)
hello, just to explain why was non-existential today.. went fencing! quite fun.. and mark was there as well.. blah..
gosh, i got df again tomorrow, and for the last time tecktee im not in medfac! =)

who's going bodyworlds on friday?
Haha today another crazy day, sitting around talking cock (while waiting for pple to come...)... all the 56k, 28.8k, 14.4k and whatever not computer language haha... oh and of course this guy (yeah the same guy cheng lim is referring to) keeps on jacking himself. Wonder if it's deliberate hmm...

BUT BUT must cheng2 qing1 lah, since this concerns the reputation of many people, like our popular Ms Sleeping Beauty and sporty Mr Tcube and other people. We were really just joking around since we have nothing better to do lah, so EVERYTHING said and mentioned today should not be taken for real.

That said, if anyone needs any help approaching anyone (in Sixireon or not), you can look for any og-mate to help make connections... this group will be headed by the 2 sadistic engineers ie me and Huiling (yeah I'm dragging you along =)...

Ok back to mugging... sine cosine cosine sine... sigh sigh sigh sigh

P.S.: Anyone knows what's happening to inter og bball?

Tuesday, January 27, 2004

Hmm today badminton was quite fun... yeah let's play again some other time. I'm not bringing my racket though... someone else provide... =D

Anyway very sorry but I won't be able to join you pple at bball, at least not until guitar ends. I can't skip tmr's session coz I'm planning to skip on sat. So yah, have fun, I'll chiong down to meet with you all right after guitar (lugging that bulky wooden thingee...)...

Sore legs, sore wrist, amazing tt I can still type... haha... and it's not midnight yet! The night is still young... yeah ^_^
yay just finish my econs tys homework that's due thurs... whee... no dinner though... found out that cheers sell damn ex cup noodles (bout $2) so decided to come home eat bread just to find out my idiot bro ate it all up coz he was hungry... bleh... so i just have a few puny biscuits to eat.

anyway badminton is so fun even if i keep missing and my hand hurts. hock boon shouldn't wear yellow. too eye catching and everyone just hits towards it. grin.

well must go continue with econs... pop quiz that was allowed to be brought home... really wierd but i suppose the tutor didn't want to mark rubbish answers.

see you tomorrow. have fun at b ball. sorry i can't join you but there's odac trials

melho
Ruiyang, is your class really that mugger-ish? Haha... well, at least I'm no longer in it.... =)

This is the first time in don't know how long I had dinner at home...

G.P. was pretty interesting today.... we had this little "tests" which were actually quite fun... basically it's supposed to show that guys are better at spatial concepts while girls are better at language and memory or something like that... but the results were quite odd... because the girls did as well as the guys for spatial concept, the girls did better than the guys for language(however, the average was way below national average for both guys and girls). The weird one was the memory one... cos most guys did worst(14~18/26), except for 3 guys who scored 24/26... (and the 3 happen to be avid bridge players...)... the girls generally did better(16~20/26) and I scored the highest among girls.... (24/26)... hmmm.. maybe bridge improves your memory or something... then again, can't be... I just lost a key.... so I'll come early tomorrow to look for it...=(

I wanted to be the first to post but I was beaten by Weifen.. Then as I was about the publish I realised Huiling also posted liao..

Must add my excuses why we lost.. For you guys it's reasons but to myself it is just a bunch of excuses I'm using to console myself.. Just to share..
Firstly, the other team came on with all guys (mainly sportsmen and the fittest UG corporals and what have you) whilst we gave everyone a chance to play.. Not that guys are better but you know we tend to exert our physical abilities more.. NO not another GP lesson..
Secondly, I don't really wanna say this but they somewhat lacked basic sportsmanship.. Like they make some noise we give them.. Whereas they clearly ran with the frisbee and the ref just let them.. Maybe that's why they could even catch up in the first place.. Then they took it a step further and beat us in the end..

There was one particular guy that played the full 20 minutes without even thinking of giving way.. That's their ja-rule.. Which we don't have.. Cos all of us are fun-loving people right?

There was another who arrived during the second half and ran up and down the pitch as fast as the wind.. Another thing was their cheapskate 1 metre passes (of which we had none).. Then when we start crowding around they'd just thunder shoot and the sprinter would catch it..

I don't know why I had to give away several seemingly good opportunities which I wasted just in a moment of haste and lack of full concentration.. Blame my PE lesson and Super Hi Intensive Torture which was bent on killing our legs today (TTT and Mich can testify)

Hopefully this won't happen for basketball.. RJ has very few good basketballers in the J1 batch except those who have already been training since December.. As long as the other OGs don't keep pumping sportsman after sportsman, I'm very sure we have the capability to win..

Go Sixireon.. Psyche Up.. !!

-Ben-
..::{r@$hÆr::..

P.S. I have yet to hand up Math Assignment 0, due 12 hrs ago, and I had to do my Chem Assignment during Tutorial and missed out on the Redox crap.. At least I can still balance equations from 'O' level work.. Phew.. But I'm a walking corpse..


I personally think it's the wind... so maybe after half-time, we got the "bad" position, so maybe cos of that we lost by a little... hai.. can't join you all for recreational badminton...have jap.... neither can I join harmoc... clashes with CO...

Okay, see you guys tomorrow... that is, if I can wake up in the morning.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Still wondering what is resonating? But well nvm my English has never been good and this SAT business makes it even worse.. My dream occupation is now like many light years away if I cannot get a good SAT score.. But well it is not just SAT its GP and CL also.. Nvm.. Everytime I blog I say the same thing..

But it'll be nice if I know what "resonating" means or meant.. I just don't foresee myself giving up my youth just to mug like a few thousand words cos I'm not a mugger in the first place unlike our dear friends whom I have pointed out before..

I didn't notice that we reached a hundred posts already.. Maybe cos it's an OG blog and everybody writes so the number increases very rapidly..

Hmm... frisbee.. Sounds nice.. But me too short for this games.. Actually what you need is a foolproof strategy and some pretty accurate aiming and judge your shots.. E.g. you cannot aim directly at the person you have to throw the frisbee a little to the right and a little higher also..

I have run out of topics to talk about.. Other than to add that I haven't done one tutorial per subject and one assignment for MC, PH, CH.. Sigh... I just hope the teacher's won't be angry with me..

On a ending note, just for your interests, this blog can be read by non-Sixireon people also you know.. That's all I gotta say.. Cya around.. Though I may be absent from the Jacosy on 1,3,5, you'll see me making a fool of myself on Tues and Thurs..

... ...
-Ben-
..::{r@$hÆr::..
Hey! I'm back from class reunion... it was quite fun I guess.... anyway, where is everybody? It's Sunday and no one (except me) has posted... ummm... all doing last minute work?

Since I wrote the previous one too, I shall stop here... pple... blog...
Hai... I think I heard the rain dance song like umm... 20 times today(wait 21 now)... turns out that my brother found an old tape... so my sis is doing the dance now... *sweatdrops* Oh yes... that's why it has been raining the whole day......=)

Good for you hockboon that your SATS are over... well... 2700 more words just to get 3 0r 4 more right? Nope, not worth it...
Yup, must get Qinghan to blog... okay... shall use my "psychic power"(rolls eyes)... either that or I'll go threaten her....=) No.. it's not me that gets pple to blog... they blog at their own will and I just pre-empt them.... yar... with my "great mind-reading skill" (rolls eyes even more)... whatever...

Shall go sleep now... or else I'll miss the class reunion tomorrow.....

Saturday, January 24, 2004

haha before anything, paisehs vicky! yesterday was at my cuz's house then her comp crash so i never say bye. haha.. anyways welcome to the online and connected people! which is everyone, excluding jiawen = p

cny has been amazingly suay this year for me. first 2 days: mug SATs. 3rd Day: SATs over, then kena flu. !@#$. i'm a walking water faucet now. nose dripping like siao. sighhHhHs. i hate being sick. you just feel so immobile after that, like cannot do anything. and this from a guy who's way behind stuff now that SATs are over.

wait, did i say that? yeah baby yeah! SATS ARE OVER. muahahaha. thanks for all your good lucks and all that! Promise you all i read them before i sat for my SAT today = p was just too indolent to post a bloggie. oops, i forgot, TTT's gonna get pissed fpr my verbiages. hahaha.

the paper was surprisingly okay. but the problem is always we say its okay afterwards results come out then kenasai. so, err, i shall just withhold my comments. dang, i did leave 2 blanks though. decided not to gamble wat the heck ARBOREAL was and ESCHEW just totally slipped off my mind o.O

michael, i'm pretty sure it's the same format ur teacher made u do. and u're pretty much right about the same words being used over and over again. which is why most guidebooks printed have their own versions of the SAT HIGH FREQUENCY AND HOT PROSPECTS list. yeah, Barron's gives you a 3500 word list too, which is pretty much exhaustive and if you read through em, there's no way you shold encounter any problems with any word at all. but i did the 800 high-freq one and missed out on
only about 3-4 words. so, err yeah. you do the math = p just really glad sats are over because it's been so stupidly draining. sitting in front of word lists and cramming new words into your head. but it's quite fun once you start actually incorporating them into your vocabulary. bah, it's OVER.

blurb blurb blurb. there goes the drip again. bah, think i shall have an early night for once. not really early, sighs. was actually still out visiting. stupid weather. rain, rain, rain and more rain. wish i could have some normalcy now that i have a defective nose. o.O

haha anyways huiling you rock man. you prod prod prod then people will blog hahaha. your next mission is to prod qinghan. dunno why she never comes online one. another jiawen ah? bahhh. and no, you will check the blog frequently -grins-

Haha... I've found out how to make it seem as if a lot of pple post... check the blog more infrequently... =)

Junjie, you counted correctly... either that or I miscounted too... (blinked at a point....)
Yeatian and Melho, yar, I'm going tomorrow... don't know whether it's too late to tell you all... hmm.. my class hasn't gotten the blue book yet... weird Chinese rep and all... hey cheer up melho... shall bring some left over goodies for you on Monday...
Vicky 10 entries in 30 mins... wow... you're going to need 4,5 hours.... good luck!

Shall not type more lest I insult more pple... yar... it's new year and all....

Congrats Vicky! You got your broadband! The first week of using broadband always rocks, coz you start seeing dramatic increase in speed. Then your usage increases, and you start wondering why it still takes so long to download files 500mb big... hmm... =D

How come everyone's holiday seems so interesting? I finished visiting everyone by the end of the first day, and since then have been staying at home eating and eating and eating (and clearing some tutorials). Haha supposed to visit my teachers but then had to stay at home for this singtel technician to check my line (sigh sigh sigh......).

... still pigging out and growing fat...

*Btw the next guy who blogs will be making the 100th entry on this blog (if I counted correctly)! Hurry!
HhhiIIeee guys!!!!! Finally I have upgraded from a 56K to broadband ! wAHahahA . Which explains why I am writing my very 1st entry on this blog at this hour . =)
HappY CNY to all!
I spent almost half an hour trying to read the 1st 10 entries in our blog ..siGhzz.
Oh well , anyway I'm anticipating the inter-og frisbee competition on Monday . -grins- sixireon rocKs!!
hEex I'll find more things to talk about the next time when my brain is totally awake .

Friday, January 23, 2004

Haiz... everyone seems to have such a packed CNY hols. For me i have been stoning at home since after yesterday 11pm... i didn't even get to gamble much... my dad decided that 11pm was late enough and i had to leave my cousins house... :( ... quite sad... and i found out that no one in my family knows how to play bridge which is very very sad... they tried to get me to teach them but i gave up after 10 mins...

and somehow me dad decided that this was a nice time to catch up on my chinese... bleh... he's been trying to get me to do that blue colour book. oh well... at least i got a class reunion to look forward to. (Yeatian and Huiling are you guys going?)

melho... who has no nice cny food at home since no one is expected over... cant get fat...
Haha Michael =D Same here. Just came back from M'sia too. And even better, going in again tomorrow morning! Our family has great plans.
So anyway, happy CNY to everyone, and good luck to those sitting for SATs.
Mel and Huiling: There's a class reunion at Lijun's house on Sunday, 12pm. Call Astee or Choon or someone to ask the details, k?
See y'all on Monday!
heylloooo... i've just returned from malaysia... blahblahblah... and as usual i'm always shortchanged cos ringgit are only worth half the amount... oops!

hmmm rjc teachers seem to be very lax.. a few friends and i were sitting right next to them and we were popping gobstoppers and catching a few winks in between performances and they couldn't be bothered.. that's so cool!

when i was in upper sec, my english teacher gave us a SAT to do every term, i don't know if they're scaled down or if they're samples or whatnot, but the general trend seems to be only a certain group of words being tested... they always recycle their stuff. so if you wanna ace your SATs then just mug those few words... i could be wrong though, the format for the ones she gave and the ones our OGLs are doing may not be the same.. but still..

the hols are passing by damn quickly.. it's already friday night. heh. is there a tryout session for harmoc?
Hey! Here I am posting again... =)

Hey! HB and QH (although I doubt you actually read this)! Take sats on sat, then have sundae on a sunday!=) Oh yes, let's all remember 10 words a day, so we can finish the wordlist before it gets too late=)

Yar... 56K.. don't know what Tecktee is talking about but well, nothing really good ever comes out of his mouth...

TTT-- how can you lose 2 tricks and win 12? hmm? 12+2=13??? Or is it just cos I don't understand what you just said...

Hmm uncle engine? No... not that great at bridge... as you said pple like chenglim and ben are more pro... well... it's not that difficult to get players... just grab anyone from my class.... they calculate even more than I do...=)Wait, if you're uncle, what does that make hockboon? *gasp* great grandpa engine! hehehe...

Haven't seen a post from yeatian in quite a while... not to mention that I have never seen any post from sowmya, vicky, peiyi..... esp Qinghan!!!

Okay.. shall go off now... happy CNY everyone...

P.s. Oh yar, btw (this is directed at someone) if you think all indians look alike, well, I think they think all chinese look alike... Vickas (is that how you spell it) thought someone was me...

Good idea Teck Tee. I think the next time I play bridge I'll play with Ms Sleeping Beauty (aka Pei yi), instead of experts like Ms Dear Engine (aka Huiling) who really counts the card and such... let's see, Cheng Lim, Ben, Huiling and someone else. Ah at least they won't be dragged down by a dumb partner like me.

Btw did anyone go Chinatown on New Year's eve to watch the firecrackers? I went with my family, but we left at around 10pm coz the crowd making the whole place so... crowded! =D Anyway we didn't go Chinatown for the firecrackers, rather all the cheap things they were selling...

Ok enjoy the next few days of hols, clear your tutorials, and cya'all on Monday!

No I didn't forget. Good luck for SATs to Hock Boon and Qinghan (if she actually reads this blog =)...


so it is possible to cram 800 words in a quarter of a day. -beams-

but well ladies and gentlemen, that's certainly another thing you shouldn't learn from me. being so last minute with everything. unlike our dear qinghan, i've abandoned the 3500 word list =p

haha huiling, you can start now with the 3500 one, and really spend a day on a list, then actively use the word in your vocab. or else SATs is seriously useless, but if we use it the right way then it wouldn't be desultory.

whee, now everyone's beginning to resonate -laughs-

getting very somnolent now, i'm retiring. sweet dreams...


Thursday, January 22, 2004

Happy New Year everyone!!! =) Yay! Holidays! Shall take HB's advice and start mugging the wordlist....(yar right-- I do not equate mugger. Neither does HB, I'm sure... this is an answer to someone's comment about there being 2 kinds of engineers... the 50-70% muggers in one and the rest in the other...) Anyway, good luck for your SATS! Ooops... I forgot... you were trying to forget about it...=)

Yup... Ben is resonating with us... =) And oh yar, a warning to everyone-- never get a certain somebody as your partner unless you are another certain somebody(am not mentioning names-- cos I want a copy of the CD)... hai... Was it 4NT(contract bridge)? I don't remember but it should have been really easy to make... yar... and what a waste of a 30 point hand... could have played up to 6NT (melho had KJ, I had AQ. We would have only lose 1 trick due to a K with junjie...)

CL-- where is the station? I still cannot find it... and yar... the chinese dance was quite amusing... well... haven't experienced your lameness yet...
TTT-- umm.. use 56K here too... and it has served me well over the last few years....

Okay sleep well everyone!! =)

Cheers it's now around 2:40am... what a time to be awake. Then again there's no school for the next few days so why not? =D

Anyway it was fun staying over at Mark's house (thanks for sharing your room =), playing bridge and whatever that soccer thingee is called. And of course Huiling was a very hardworking worker, making sure she slept after all of us did... whao...

Oh and very very sorry I couldn't join you guys for rock-climbing... although I would've loved to... but I guess I should go home since I only told my mom I was staying over at mark's house around 11pm... besides I hafta help with cleaning the house too... cannot slack...

And if you're wondering why I'm staying up at this time, I'm doing this shou3 shui4 thingee for fun. If all goes well I'll go to bed only after sunrise. If something goes wrong... I'll be sleeping in front of the comp haha.

Btw I suppose many (or some) of you would want a copy of the CD with all the songs for orientation. Just drop me an email at junjie_1987@yahoo.com and I'll try to burn a copy for you these few days. A small request though... 50c for the CD (I'm not exactly sure how much it costs), and return me the jewel case (if not I won't have any left.....)...

Can do? Oh and I'll be uploading the OG timetable soon... It's almost done but 4 more names...

Yeah time to sign off...
Lo everyone!

Anyway this is our schedule for the Ultimate Frisbee thingy for mon and tue...

Day 1 (mon)
Sixereon vs Refveor C3 1835 - 1855
that's all for the day! will we be going out for dinner after that... or before?

Day 2 (tue)
If we win and i am sure we shall, it will be:
C3 1720 - 1740
then if we win again...
C3 1810 - 1830
and again...
C3 1835 - 1855
and finally the finals...
C1 1900 - 1920

Sixireon! Happy Lunar New Year!
I wish everyone here a good year ahead, blah blah, and make good use of this looooooong break. and don't forget everyone else = p

How was the day today for everyone? see that you all have your animated err comments on what happened for the concert today.. haha the dance was a personal favourite. haha it's just hilarious. = ) what did ya do after that? weird in j1 you're all onz about going back to your secondary school but this year my class did nothing and so in the end i spent the day at the neighbourhood library studying for SATs.

SATs suck. they are just so irritating that i wish i could go out and actually CELEBRATE on saturday after the stupid paper. haha, oh something interesting. i'm taking them at ACJC haha i'm so not wearing my uniform there. bahhh, but i can't celebrate anws. s-papers starting next week, ie need to prepare tutorials. arghhh, never mind. main, focus, now, is, SATs.

if you all can go settle your SATs as soon as you can. gets something really naggy out of the way. and start on your word list early -smiles- sorry, sounding dumb, but you get my point.

err, haha another night of gambling eh? eh huiling, is ben resonating with us too now? based on what you read in his entry? -rolls on the floor laughing- haha, okay nuff procrastinating. shall go mug.

cheers people
Feeling veri the tired after playing bridge like almost the whole night..
Backache worsened when I had to curl my spine to fit into the tiny blanket Mark provided..
the words in italic were posted on first day of CNY
Must add that I was almost going to ROFL when Hockboon exclaimed in KFC that he picked up a call and also when he almost fell off the rocking thingy in the playground..

T-cube was trying to go one round to shoot me when he said our OG provides more challenge at bridge when he was the one who reminded me that I went 4 consecutive games without a trick..

Must add that last night the bridge games were all but boring.. And Huiling noticed something about the style by which Junjie plays.. Somehow he would be very sleepy during bidding and gaming.. I mean everyone was sleepy but that's beside the point.. But he would suddenly perk up when he got a certain person for a partner.. Our attempt at contract bridge failed when Junjie spent 1 minute per trick thinking of what card the dummy should throw..

Then we played Hearts like the last time and it kinda screwed up to find that during trade of 3 cards two people threw clubs at each other so it was clear what each person's strategy was.. Hahahahahahahaa.. And yet again, the two of them, Mel and Huiling, tried to shoot the moon and once I was laming so I decided to dump the ace of hearts when I clearly could have stopped the shooting.. That was also what I did the last time when I thought each person should have his/her fair share of points..

And after Hearts we tried to play a funny game called "Spades" where it was the permanent trump suit and the objective of the game was halfway between Hearts and Bridge.. But then Huiling got a 30 point hand which would have earned a Grand Slam if we had played contract bridge which spoiled the fun altogether..

After that we decided to stick to bridge when I was dealt 2 full houses in an attempt to play taitee... Which started making us feel sleepy and I just konked off without brushing my teeth.. My mum's gonna scold me if she finds out..

Cele for Chinese New Year was quite good.. The performances were too long and dragged.. But just when I thought we would be waiting another half an hour (it was 9.15am then).. The MC declared the end of the celebrations.. Personally that was the best part of the thing.. To be dismissed half an hour early.. But I didn't get to catch sleep as I went gaming and my mum woke me up less than ten minutes after I fell asleep.. Sigh..

Too sleepy to carry on.. The pesty lil bro of mine just read my blog so I better control his mouth before he leaks out my lil tooth secret..

Hi!
rock climbing rulz... leslie turned up with 4 other guys. yay to him... my hands are now so red that it fits into the whole chinese new year atmosphere. i sincerely hope i will get to see leslie in one piece on mon... sorry leslie that i abandon you half way but i had to go back for reunion dinner. hope you enjoyed yourself. you were quite amusing on the wall but it's not fair that you are so tall. *pout* must go climb again. anyway. thank you Teck Tee for your kit kat. saved my life after climbing when i was starving. i think i actually took a small nap on the wall. belayer didn't mind though. and i slept again (i got a sit!) on the mrt back and missed my stop. i woke up and wondered where i was... looked so blur and flustered that a guy told me that i was at yishun. bleh. (i get of at amk which is like two stop diff!)
anyway i think i am going to take a nap. my hands a bit too sore to type anyway.
bye
melho
Yar... read that message a bit late... anyway, I don't think med fac should've won... seriously speaking the arts one looked so much more interesting... (did anyone see the statue near the front gate??) I wonder who decides who wins or loses.... the 命 thing was quite creative...

I think the accordian was the best item.. but pple didn't appreciate it so....

ARTS, STAR, RATS, TARS... RECAS, SCARE, CARES, RACES, ACRES, ACERS... anything else I missed out? Have fun melho! Yar... try falling asleep at the overhang.... =)
HB-- obviously I was kidding about getting paid...
Michael's going Malaysia today... let's all wish him 一路順風...

To everyone else, have a happy CNY!

P.s. I can't input Chinese in my com, so all those "chinese" words are actually japanese characters... so don't worry if funny symbols begin appearing...

Hi all..

Anyone who reads this now Please remember to bring home clothes if you want to take part in the OG stayover tomorrow the 20th Jan (Tuesday) ..

Hockboon Not bad, you know how to manupilate the plan.. Unlike someone who spent 47c after 7pm today.. Who else but the _ _ _ ??

Harmonica starts from 35 then rises to 100+ in total.. But I like music so I don't mind.. 2 trainings but according to OXC only 1 session is compulsory and it is likely Friday evening.. which means I can skip Maths club training.. HAHA.. and Sat 2-5pm I can make myself free if need be.. So if there is enough to form a SYF squad, Harmoc can give me 3 for Rep and 1 for achievement (hopefully lah) and maybe 1/2 for Enrichment.. All this CCA is crap lah and I think the max I can reach is 15 points if I am fortunate enough.. And.. Weifen.. no.. 7 CCAs does
not guarantee an A for CCA. But who actually gets As for CCA in the first place.. I mean unless they're like the President Scholars most of them would benefit more spending the extra time on studies honestly..

Back to Hockboon, you really should get some sleep since you live so close to school anyway.. I take 1hr to go to RJC everyday per trip..
And please don't mention GP or SAT or CL.. It is sickening trying to do a news report without myself being a hypocrite of the highest degree.. E.g. telling the teacher that the attitude of students must change when I am a culprit myself..
Sigh.. How will I ever reach the perfect score liddat.. Btw, I am not a mugger nor do I have high expectations of myself, who has not really been mugging for a real long time..

And true.. A grand total of 3 beats about more than half of our OG.. Congrats to those who have jumped abroad the ship..

What's this about Teck Tee and rumours and whatever??
Will someone please enlighten me??

Better not write so much.. Still haven't found meanings to 3 words I didn't understand in the CL report.. Btw, who agrees that GP is more of a lesson of sexism..??

Now I really should sleep.. =(

-Ben-

P.S. For those who intend to crash the house.. Please bring a change of clothing.. For those who haven't made up their mind.. Just bring lah..




hi all... sorry if i haven't really been turning up much in the jacozy in the morning though i doubt anyone really notices... but i have been a tad busy with the rock climbing club thingy... but shall make and effort like today to turn up and make the other guy wait for me. heh *evil grin*

anyway, does anyone want to climb on wed? we will go after CNY celebrations to this place at Tanjong Pagar ($6 admission). really cool place. has air con. grin. and nice music i think. should climb from about 11 to 3/4 plus...

melho

huiling i know it is chinese new year's eve and people will wanna go back but rg doesn't have school on that day anyway so you have no where to go back to muahahahaha... though i doubt many people will turn up anyway... just hoping that at least 6 out of the 26 will turn up... and i shall include myself in the 6. celebration for rg on tues 3 to 4pm. anyone going back?

Damn pissed... during lecture today the RI guy sitting next to me kept swearing and cursing... kept ranting on about how he didn't understand a thing....so I switched seats to the front (yes in the middle of a lecture). And the teacher asked him why I moved, whether it was because he was too noisy and he happily replied that it was because I couldn't see... later I heard from my friend after I left that he and his friend were insulting me and Maths and everything else... yar-- I know, if they ever read this blog they'll do it all over again...

Anyway, during Physics Pract today I lost a pendulum... I don't know how I did it, but it was in my hand for a second, then it disappeared.... and no amount of searching could bring it back... yup... it left me very puzzled and I was wondering about it for the rest of the day.... hmm... do I just suck at practs or what...

Shall go mug now... cos when I was walking out, I saw this left-handed guy doing some work... and I realised it was Junjie.... so if even he's studying, I can't afford to slack...=)

Sunday, January 18, 2004

Hey! I'm back again!!! hahaha! My class rocks!!!! Or maybe I'm just saying that cos I finally meet the real gamblers... I think there are about 9(?) (yes junjie, I'm quite sure you can produce a more accurate count but let's just leave it as that, okay?) who can play contract bridge... (that is under the assumption that the other group over at the other side was playing contract bridge as well)(yar-- must take into account other factors, like the no. of pple who were not present and can play contract bridge, and the percentage of conventions known for each individual blah blah blah... hmm... whatever)Okay, shall not continue anymore lest someone says I am making a personal attack on um.. yar.. that someone.... =) Oh yar, but I must say they're all quite good... as in they really keep track of everything that came out and the chance of success for each trick... hai... typical engineers... =)

Chenglim, I can't find the chenglim station-- is it in the sengkang LRT or the bukit panjang one or another one? By the way, my clssmates keep mentioning your name... but I forgot what for... I think they said you injured your leg or something in P6 and you became really lame...
By the way, Harmoc has two sessions, one on Friday and one on Saturday... and although they say that you must buy the 100+ harmoc, I heard that the $35 one would do...

Mel ho, I see you finally started on something! Well, but the date is a bit the.... I think pple, esp J1s, would really want to go back to their sec. schools... so the turnout might be quite small...

Hockboon, if you're reading this, I suggest you'd better go and sleep... that's how to maximise sleeping hours... and btw, I heard that black sesame is good for turning white hair black... don't know if it's true though...

I really hope no one is up at this unholy time....=)

It doesn't cost that much for a harmonica what. I got one at home which is... er, don't remember, but should be less than 20-30. Harmoc is fun! Let's go and try it out at least =)

Yep, this is also my second post. I haven't been posting cos my com is very ancient and therefore cranky. It hangs randomly =p Which means I better end off soon before it crashes again =p I will try to get in more soon =)

Oh, and relac lah, ppl. No need to be so pedantric ~_~

RELAX people! haha

michael: teck tee said "unless"... he didn't say you are in Med Fac. and err, as much as you people want to whoop the doctor posteriors, just wait for the gears to squish all you artisans, doctors and computer geeks at the same time -grins-
ben: haha i've got caller-id! so i'll just reject whoever calls me after 7 and call him/her back immediately. saves money.. besides 100mins is too much for me to use. and har, what controversy? oh, and harmoc HAS trngs on saturdays!
weifen, leslie: wah, tag-team siah. me buy taboo?! haha it's around 40 scintillating bucks la. well the welfare room has it then borrow from there! most of the school hasn't really caught on the craze, so why don't you all go borrow it first thing when your school ends, and park yourselves in the ja`cosy and then you can coagulate people and start to play! and a big hi to weifen, 2 entries! that still beats.. err.. qinghan. eh, rec bad is quite fun leh! i used to go play once in a while..
huiling: engineers are just so precise man. hahaha, just a la could have such a fabby story to go around. and man i'm a nice engineer just that junjie thinks otherwise -pouts- as much as i want to sleep more, i find it difficult though, so that's pretty sad isn't it? -chuckles-
junjie: SORRY LAH. -rofls-
tecktee: haha i think your script will rock, but engine is mountain! muahahaha. are you the only scriptwriter from med fac? thought i saw a huge signup list, then again, it's med fac.
chenglim: haha harmoc sounds sad. why?! the j2 batch is quite big mah. it's a pretty fun CCA.. u could try psychoing the people here more -grins-
everyone else: -STARES- BLOG BLOG BLOG BLOG.

i'm uncle agony for the day -grins-
from the guy who still hasn't breathed a word of SAT into his waterlogged brains. ahh, i'm at the inchoate of my mugging. as if this ameliorates the situation.
ahh, the beauty (ugliness) of the so-called college english.
OMGGGGGGG TEEEEEEECK TEEEEEEEEEEEE

WHATS THIS BLASPHEMY I HEAAAAAAAAR

IM IN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC

AND IM PROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUD OFFFFFFFFFFF ITTTTTTTTTT

WE'RE GONNA WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP YOUR DOCTORR ASSSSSSSSSSSSESSSSSSSS

(and ben, i thought i was the one with an infamous rep. just the name's enough man.)
Hmm... Maths club doesn't give any crappy points for Rep lah.. with all the muggers from RI GEP and SIMO and some extra kings from E faculty..

About the so-called "shitty" plan.. The only thing is that you pay cold hard cash for every second you talk outside the "free" period.. And the money is not deducted from a certain quotation.. And that's why I'd rather give up the 900 SMS and go for SunTalk100 or Singtel's latest 4 plans.. Cos now that the stupid timetable has set in.. I hardly have anytime to talk during the free period of 7am to 7pm except on weekends.. Plus I'm not exactly an IBM..

Did you know...
Someone else in the OG also has the same plan as Hockboon and myself..
And that person is the one who caused the controversy in the OG..
And that person hasn't blogged yet.. If i'm not wrong..

I need to find a CCA that doesn't have practice on Sat mornings.. or Sat at all.. Harmonica has that privilege.. But it costs 100+ for a harmonica.. Though no harm learning another instrument to add to my meagre knowledge of piano and guitar..

Someone gave my classmate the idea that I sang a beyonce knowles song at macs that day when the radio station didn't even broadcast any song by her.. Now part of my class knows about it.. While another part knows that I ate egg yolk in the bio lab during prac..

My class is abit the on.. They only went for one lunch.. Of which I missed cos I thought I needed to keep the money for a hair cut, which btw did not turn out well.. Then later on decided to go with you guys to Macs to play bridge using Uno cards.. And the colours of Uno match the 4 faculty colours.. So the 1 of red is Amogh and so on.. And after which you guys went to Lido and abandoned me on the bus.. I later found out that my class was still at the place when you alighted at the bus stop and I would have been deemed a traitor.. Eh, can my classmate who reads this please keep this to yourself.. Which reminds me that I haven't done my Bio tutorial.. Oh no.. The lecturer is crapping around with his lame jokes.. But it's too late for me to go Engine, which is closing down in 3 years..

For those who think that class not as good as OG.. Please remember that you'll be seeing them 45 hours a week so yeah try to make friends and open up.. I am rather infamous among the RI guys who know me and if I have any profile.. It's bad.. So pls don't end up like me..

One of my other school friends happened to visit our blog somehow.. and maybe its cos I put [sixireon] on my msn nickname.. haha.. Now they all know that I have an OG that are made up of gamblers.. I believe Hockboon was the one who wrote this very early..

Dunno what to say now.. Still haven't done any tutorials since 68 hours ago.. Must say that I really thought I was an I D 10 T when I told JJ and Mel to run across the bridge with Hockboon thinking I was out of my mind.. Then in less than a minute our bus come so that we could show the commutors how great gamblers RJ students are..

...

-Ben-
..::{r@$hÆr::..

Spent too long typing this post.. Have a feeling that I need to edit it.. Though I will be too lazy to do so..
Yup! Let's all join harmoc.... hmm... but it's gonna clash with CO... =( Nvm! I can play the harmoc anyway. so well... ... we can always have some collar-pin soc. if we're really that desperate... (haha--let's create a cardgame-making society! Or a lame joke society-- and we submit lame jokes to teachers so they can tell one every 15 minutes of their lecture or so, so everyone would be all perked up-- think F-maths teacher-- (cowculator))

Junjie-- I think the no. of las is correct.... I typed one "l" for every la I was singing. So it becomes lll llllll llll ll llll hw! And then I inserted an "a" after each "l"... so unless my rhythm is wrong... the number should be correct... now counting, it's 19... yup fellow engineer here is especially meticulous too when it comes to numbers...=) Not to mention nice and kind too..... ermm..hmmm... .=)

Tecktee, have fun writing your script! And sleep more Hockboon!

I'm going off soon... have some class outing thing... quite weird when you think about it cos I don't know half of the pple in my class... and I don't even know which is our senior class.... see you guys on Monday!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



wah lau just realised i was getting arrowed. -looks around- i'm how nice already lor.. tsk tsk. heheh, don't blame me, blame the other goons, ie jiawen/tecktee/leslie/ben haha.. nah. don't blame anyone.
got nothing okay? -grins-

eh-oh

ehehs sent email to yahoogroups but always better to be more kiasu = p
i changed my phone number! it's now 90034541. puhlease save it hor, coz the old one is not with me anymores so i'll never know if someone's trying to contact me. whee. i've switched to ben's plan, which he calls "shitty". i opt to be a wee bit more positive on that one -grins-

how's everyone? haha astro was so cute/fun. but the teacher is a tad too, weird. and of course my brilliance in timing, in walkin into the LT. lols. and yes, Sirius no more, it's now SIXIREON. muahahaha. got read Selffar booklet nots? we're the brightest constellation up there mans = )

had my first proper training in eons today. coach was trying to arrow me throughout = ( i feel, a tad weird. haha admittedly only woonyang might know how i feel coz i'm a wicketkeeper, similar to being a catcher in softball. just that in softball there's only 1 pitcher, but in cricket, half the team are bowlers (pitchers). and i used to be one, so it sounds like a demotion. oh well, i'll live by it. at least it guarantees me a place in the team -grins-

still haven't started much on my SATs. i'm going to push the self-destruction button very soon. then i can go kaput and then disappear. yay.. heh. nah, i wouldn't want to, else i can't see you alls anymores! man i love writting in this blog, except one, i either go home n sleep immediately or i can't get on the net. haha huiling ah, 5 pm ahh.. in the same day i've training and gone for meetings =p heh, but we all have our piggy days heheh.

-flops around- i want to go sleep -rants-
take care, and sweet dreams dude/dudettes -winks-
Hey Ben I thought you're joining maths soc... get rep points from there lah. If not just join something small, like stamp soc etc, I heard you get more chances since the clubs are so small... not sure if it's true...

Btw if the ja-cozy is very inconvenient (no tables or benches), we can always choose another place and call it our ja-convi (ie it's convenient), or ja-meet (ie our meeting place). As long as everyone knows where it is it should be fine... the main thing is that we meet up at these ja- places right?

So are we sirius about a cooking club? Sounds really fun!

And a last comment: Engineers should be kind and nice people, so calling all engineers (or maybe just 1...), from today onwards let's be nice to everyone, especially fellow engineers! Ok that was mainly directed to someone, but well... =D=D=D

Huiling I think you have too many/few "la"s in your cheer... not sure though

Saturday, January 17, 2004

Wah everyone so on.. I haven't even found a CCA which gives me representation points..
Sports I cmi.. Music groups have one training during week and another on Saturday, the only day I confirm not free... DIE DIE..

What club??

Pls don't remind me of tutorials... I haven't touched them since the day I so-called "sang" at Macs..

I don't find astronomy very interesting.. Half the people who signed up didn't go..

How is it not everyone is blogging? I know it can be addictive but no choice lah.. It's the way to sustain communication.. 80% of other OGs are dead.. Except a few who still go out..

And Michael.. Don't go to our ja'cosy except in the morning cos it's very unlikely you'll find anyone there.. As long as we do not go anywhere far from canteen it should be quite easy to locate the OG.. Plus we have mr TTT who is very T-tall.. so yah.. cya..

-Ben-
..::{r@$hÆr::..
Are you all sirius... oops I mean serious about setting up a club?

Oh yar, by the way, when someone wrote CL down, the first thing that came to my mind was corylamer, but then I realised it probably meant Chenglim instead... by the way, it you were even considering euthanasia in the first place, you probably are in a great deal of pain..... I don't know, it's just that I think you can't really answer the question thinking that you have all you have now...

I wanted to go for harmonica but when I woke up it was already 5pm... so I kinda missed the whole thing... sigh. Probably am not going to sleep tonight....(again... sigh)

Okay... shall try not o sound so bleak... yay! I have maths and chem tutorials to finish! Not to mention physics! (sung to the tune of the charsiew cheer) lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala homework!(x2)
hey guys.. sorry if i have suddenly shown up less... cos i still love sixireon better than 1a01e. its just that i don't want to neglect my class either, and everytime i go to the jacozy, it's empty. i never see anyone there. and mind you, its not during class times.

yesterday was my first 5.10 day, and it's very draining.. hmm how many people went for astro eventually? i signed up for it but decided not to go in the end because i realised that i'd probably drop out sooner or later.

hope i don't drop out of fencing, it looks very fun and not shiong.. but training hasn't started so i can't say anything yet..

i think someone mentioned this or something, that we should have an OG outing that contains everyone or something..

ok i'm actually late for school now, i need to be in school for RA mag and dramafeste (which both happen to be at the same time), so seeya guys around.
Astro was quite fun.. I think saturn looked really nice... but electronics was not too bad either... can't wait to design my own circuit board... (although I doubt I'll really spend my time doing that). Had GP diagnostic test... the teacher is just going to faint when she sees my ermmm "beautiful" handwriting (not to mention countless cancellations)

I think my class is having an outing but I'm not too sure when... anyway my mailbox (which is originally 80% full) is now completely full.. (yar, I like to keep attachments) and some weird ergo thing keeps flooding my mail...

Used to think that Wudao is damn quiet but now I think he actually is capable of talking crap too... (imagine my suffering during electronics...) good luck in your soccer try-outs!

Hmmm... oh yar, I found out Andre knows all the conventions for contract bridge too... (find one more person, Mr choochoo, and we can finally play!)

Pple! Follow Ms CPS and Mr Engine Jnr's examples! Begin posting! =) (oh yar, btw, I was very tempted to write something more, but in any case, I really do not want either mel or junjie to go after me....)=)

P.s.Oh yar, look out for a bright star near the orion.... it's now renamed (from syrius to) sixireon...

Friday, January 16, 2004

Hey what a fun day today, wasting our time at the ja-cozy playing taboo and all... and again confirming that I really have a small vocab. Wah if even HB needs to mug SAT word list then I should start really early... coz there's so many words I don't know.

Btw I never realised RJ had such a nice night view. On my way home I looked up and only saw like 2 stars (or maybe planets) and nothing else. Talk about Orion being a winter constellation... I couldn't even find the belt! But it was really quite fun, looking at the sky, (trying to figure out whether left was my left or qiantai's left), running about on the track, etc etc... =D I think I might stick to astro after all... that is if I can stand the teacher...

Hey mark if you're reading this: GD LUCK FOR DEBATES!!! I can't go down to support though, CCA in the morning and family outing after that, but just do your best. I'm sure you can win... ^_^

Ok we should really start getting the OG timetable, at least we know whose day ends when. So... can everyone send an email to junjie_1987@yahoo.com, stating your break times and when your day ends and if you have ccas the timings as well? I'm not really interested in which lecture/tutorial and where, so those are not needed...

Ok I should catch up on my tutorials during the weekend... if not I might have a lot to do next week...
having econs in the comp lab now... the teacher caught us eating m & m s and went "eating in class?" *insert pause* "okay as long as you don't sleep but only sweets"

Joel called me too.. but i am going for the 430pm one got phy at 230... just physics and pe left then i am free for the week i think..

chinee teacher still speaks too fast and got us to talk about our names... haven't had my turn yet but i have no idea what to crap about...

got to go.. teacher starting to get suspicious coz no typing is actually needed.

seeya

ho

Sorry if the previous post appears 3 times.. I had problems with it.. OR am I just seeing things.. It's roughly 12.12AM..

Thursday, January 15, 2004

Hi all,

We seem to be very alive in the morning and on the blog but how many people actually come to the blog other than the usual ones who post? Off-hand I can only recall TTT, HB, JJ, CL, HL, Mel, etc..

Something about my class.. Though they may resemble you guys in some ways, they're not as awesome and not as enthu when it comes to dinner and outings.. What is contrasting about 1S03I is that they have a certain group of girls who do not mix and there are a bunch of 4 RI GEP muggers in my class.. The most scary was when I was sitting at the teacher's table during chem prac and the mugger just off-hand recited the various pH indicators and the colours at which they change colour..

Oh yah and I have the privilege of sitting at the teacher's tables during practicals because RJ only has tables for 25 students per class.. "very good"..

I don't know whether I should change class or even faculty.. Some of my classmates found out that I was not as innocent as I first seemed.. Taitee would know cos he was there..

Biology is totally a waste of my time.. the lecturer cannot teach for nuts and I cannot even understand a single thing he speaks about.. and I have no idea how to do the tutorial worksheet at this rate.. I might even fail Biology if this goes on..
Yet Hockboon says that it isn't easy to score in F maths..

General Paper IS scary.. Shi Ming's batch had only 100+ As and 100+ Bs out of 838......!!!!

And the worse thing is that my teacher tells me that the GP and L2 grade must not exceed 6 when added together in order to enter the more prestigious courses in local universities..!!

In case I cannot come online tomorrow since we're gonna be released REAL late, I got like a call from Joel Tay of Maths Club telling me to go for Maths training from 2.30pm to 3.50pm.. which is my free period!! After which I have PE... =(

Bridge club sounds fun.. but there are just too many GEPpers applying for it..

Ok.. See you at astro.. that's if I still do not faint after 1.33 hrs of Maths club and 1.33 hrs of PE and 1.66 hrs of Bridge..

Good night everyone.. Thank you for coming.. Your host for the evening..

..::{r@$hÆr::..


Can someone convince me not to do my physics tutorial cos the answers are printed just below the questions.. which is damn stupid cos I don't feel like doing once I 'accidentally' see the answers..
Yeah blog blog blog... Anyway Mr Gopher has a great sense of time... it's morning now isn't it? =D

Btw Chinese actually looks like the most fun subject I'm going to have... given that I have 1 teacher who cracks lame jokes like how to count cows (ans: cowculator), another who really gives a new meaning to the term "Rafflesian spirit"... Chinese rules...

Hmm okay I should start doing tutorials... holiday's over! Maybe I really don't have a sense of time, took me like 2 wks to realise that?

Ok see ya people at astro... I predict it's going to be cloudy... heehee
BAH!

haha hi-5 melho = ) well after sleeping for 3 hours, i trudged happily away to school today ready to present whatever news i read the night before. then during GP, she manages to take away all the time and does her own stuff, giving me about 5 minutes to present. less than one-fifth through, the bell rings. and now i've been "invited" to present again tomorrow. -rants- how much i love gp.

second BAH!

Ministry of Defence sends me my NS deferment letter, ie i have to go on the internet to defer it (suddenly it's looming nearer) so i have to spend so long to go through the various forms before they tell me, "Sorry Mr. ONG HOCK BOON. You are only allowed to register during the stipulated period". !!!! they sent me the letter like a week in advance. BAH. why can't they just let me do it now!

third BAH~ maths lecture quiz tomorrow, for the topic i more or less missed out on. good luck to me -bleahs- i'm gonna go mug. now (yes, kinda late)

and yes, heed huiling's call please. BLOG MORE. period = )
oh, and astro starts so fast?
eek... i hate gp too... first lesson and she gave us a diagnostic already... plus the teacher's ancient and went on about the life story of her and rafflesian family...

sigh...

tomorrow suppose to continue with the essay and i am stuck...

see ya at astro tomorrow...

melho
Haha... more posts from me and this will be like my own blog or something.... pple...post stuff!!! Yay! Went for air rifle tryouts today... I was really bad at it, but the people were quite nice and let me keep playing... but it's a real knuckle killer, cos you have to put it on your clenched fist or something...

Chem pract today sucked. I poured the wrong stuff in and the stupid burette clip wasn't good enough to stop the acid from spilling out. Oh yes, and I knocked over the conical flask. And used methyl orange instead of screened methyl orange. Shall stop complaining...

Went for dinner with wen (mel ho's rockclimbing partner)... it was quite funny cos we switched to our other hand to eat...(she's left handed)... anyway, is there an official left hander's day or something? If not, I'm just going to make an unofficial one on wen's bday...

Ate mac's in the morning (was among the first customers) thanks to Woonyang's wuliao suggestion... btw, mac's doesn't open until 7am...

Have a good time tomorrow... enjoy the stars (hope it doesn't rain)!!!
I HATE GP. -blithes-

Wednesday, January 14, 2004

Hi all! If you're Hockboon, you shld be doing your 2 GP essays and 2 tutorials... while the rest can slack...=) Hmm... I don't really know what I'm saying... my eyelids are like trying to shut but I have to clear my inbox, so meanwhile I'm typing this... some ergo thing flooded my mail...

Am going to sleep soon.... but I'm kinda wondering whether Mr Gopher would stay awake until like 1 or something just to print some stuff for HB. (Underground animals really have no sense of time...)

Well, good luck to all those trying to initiate a new CCA... whether it's physics or rockclimbing...

Tuesday, January 13, 2004

Wow... haven't blogged for only one day and it seems like a lot of stuff has come in... yar... that link is the project they did... how did junjie find it? By the way, there's this other project you might find along with it... something to do with building of expressways... please take a look at it =)

Hmmm... where did you guys go??? But actually it wasn't that bad... all the pple taking Jap were quite nice... except that all were taking trip science... and not taking Chinese... oh yar... btw, you can join the jap club even if you're not taking jap... and they don't just eat sushi... I heard they discuss manga and such=)

Okay.. shall go sleep... I still think blue should be spades... =(
Wonderful day today, walking around orchard, cranking cookies, blah blah... just quite sad I couldn't join you guys for the movie. Not my fault really, if I watch the same movie twice in 4 days I'll be even more sad you know... =D

Btw Michael that's quite a good observation. Try searching "Sixireon" on google. I got 1 hit, and guess what it was? A certain indigo.t35.com... hmm the elusive blog that so many of us cannot read. I give up trying to load the main.htm page lah... nv works... haha...

Er... Wudao if you want the music I'm burning around 5 to pass arnd, then using these 5 someone else burn to get all 23 copies. But if you still want to save, right-click on the link, choose "save target as..." then you can save the mp3s to your comp.

And are we going to the sixth avenue ice-cream (or whatever it is) tmr after CCA feste? Haha nvm we'll decide tmr... heehee...

Ok let's start burning... erm the cds I mean. As for our passion for sixireon, let it continue to burn...
yeah!! I am so excited, I am finally here. Having read so many of ur entries and not able to speak here at all, I finally have the chance now. Initially I thought that I am never able to get in here, not until the 10th invitation by Hockboon that I suceeded. So, thanks to HB for his continual persistence and stubbornness. That afternoon we wasted at the com lab was worthwhile afterall.

And, greetings to everyone, I am sorry I cant greet you all each morning at the Jacozy as I am not that early. So please dun haf the idea that I am abondoning u all, its juz tt i cant make it. I will try my best to join u all in the afternoons, if u are gathering at all.

Talking about classes, I dont haf any complaints about my class. I love it as much as I love u guys! Though my class definitely cant hold a candle to u all in terms of activeness and wild spirit. But they are a bunch of easy going pple nonetheless, even though they are as shy and more reserved as me.

ermm some unimportant personal stuff: I am going to join soccer, OAC and photographic society as CCA. So hope that I can meet some familiar faces from Sixireon there. What cca are you all going to join? oh by the way, Hockboon was a great photographer and had even won a prize for his photo. juz want to acknowledge his talent here (i think we are supposed to clap.)

ok lastly, I believe we haf taken quite a handful of photos of ourselves. just a suggestion tt whoever has the photos can scan and post them in the yahoo gp. they are the best of memories.
And can anyone tell me how to save the songs uploaded at the gp into my computer? thanks.

tts all I want to say.

the Ja’dye Song

You stepped into this college, not knowing what would be
Excited yet unsure, the hope of new beginnings (x2)

In the hall you met your Ja’rox; O-morning began, you had admin talks
Met Levanox and Kasegon, everyone was so damn on (I’m sure!)
Ja’cozy time with all of you, people you never knew
Cavewomen and the Echo *Arya, the Sundance, the Raindance and the Soleila
At ½ time the factions were neck to neck; but Kasegon triumphed and claimed victory back
And Levanox…got taupok-ed on stage!

That’s why we are here, to be the light that sets you on your way (x2)

We dreamed a common dream, a dream of what Raffles could mean
A dream to find the love that binds and leaves no one behind
And many years from now, do look back and smile
Remember we were always there for you…the dream came true


It was day 2, we met the ninjas, scary people, they shouted “Her-ha!”
They were all in black and white, they were painters but wanted to fight
To defeat the evil emperor, restore colour, turtle power!
Kasegon was carried off, by Donatello with one arm’s force
You painted your Ja’los with all of your hearts, Levanox won, kicking Kasegon’s butt
You cheered the pillars apart!

That’s why we are here, to be the light that sets you on your way (x2)

Rentak was where you arrived, the Relac-ers were sleep deprived
Now without their princess, the Relac-ers couldn’t care less
On the journey you embarked, looking for your coconuts
The monkeys were so comical, Jaxoras the musical
Monkey king sang “No more buts!”, Kasegon had apparently more nuts
We were so stealth at Fountain of Wealth (shh!)

A pervasive beat, an unstoppable bop, Levanox dancers couldn’t be stopped
Amazing race around Singapore, so much fun we wanted more
A giant crest of the 24th, to new RJ, we set forth
The factions still there full of woe, the Oracle shouted “Wrong video”
Kasegon and Levanox united as one, 3000 years later, the 4 *Fac capts come
Together as Raffles, we’ve begun!

You’ve come so far, but it’s just the start,
We hope the love will endure in your hearts
As we look back on Jaxoras, remember the dream…

You will always belong…to the Rafflesian Team…

Now it’s time for O-Nite, the end of Jaxoras in sight
With joy we start, with tears we part, the memories engraved in our hearts…

We dreamed a common dream, a dream of what Raffles could mean
A dream to find the love that binds and leaves no one behind
And many years from now, do look back and smile
Remember we were always there for you…the dream came true

hey. basically right. i wanna say that i found it damn funny larh, when i woke up. i thought it was a prank cos my glasses weren't at the table where i left it... and remembering now... i slept at right angles to leslie. so i can see where the confusion began. but... looks like the prank wasn't glasses but was something else...

beginning to get lots and lots of notes now. i got a 15pg notes on "what is southeast asia" which i think is propaganda for people like me who aren't very happy being in arts and not humans (like our dear butch is), which keeps on pounding into your head the benefits and reasons why its important to take SEAsian hist, which i think is pure bullshit.

anyway, just wanna say sixireon, that we're friggin good. winning almost all station games, those that we lost were combined with other OGs, OG with probably the highest number of outings, one of the few OGs to do a stayover on O-nite, we're (in)famous for the gay insinuation cheer, we won the best dressed OG competition, (i love my ten hearts) we have fun people, we ARE THE BEST.

hopefully, we'll stay together and even 'chope' a new jacozy at bishan.. if we do.. then we're really good. (as hockboon agrees too...)

oh something interesting fyi, type "kasegon" or "levanox" or "sixireon" or any other OG name into google right, and you can see lots of interesting stuff..... expecially if you type "kasegon". ok oops i just set up our own blog for it as well, lol. see you guys around.
Yay... Wudao got in... =D

Btw if anyone's inviting others, remind them NOT to click directly on the link. Instead copy and paste the address to the address bar. Apparently if you click directly something will go wrong ~~~...

By the way, here's a great link!
Title: Applications of Pigeonhole Principle.doc (Ring some bells? =D)
Link: Click here!

Haha now everyone can stop scratching their heads!
just felt that i SHOULD write something..

today spent 45c taking a train to fill in an empty seat for 3 others to play bridge when i could have taken a free bus ride home.. {does HB have anything to comment.. heehee..}

oh and i went 4 whole rounds without a trick.. record setting..

but i liked the part where i was doing chem problems all the way to the mrt station.. btw i haven't solved it yet.. almost banged into my house door thanks to that.. something to brag about.. which some of you have heard thousands of times.. i took less than 10 min to solve a question, which a J1 who had 10 A1s couldn't do.. haahaa.. whee..

why are we all becoming nerds.. that's why bridge is good for recreation and relaxation.. :-) *grinz*

first time i read thru all the posts.. everyone seems very nostalgic about the past 6 days..
but what can we say it happens every year..

my class is actually very nice people.. but they are just swayed by the crowd.. btw, though yeatian is in my class and i am in her class, what we say about our class refers to the other 20+..

about last sat, i didn't notice the part where leslie was going "my specs damn blur" until he threw a funny card or saw a card wrongly and hock boon was laughing all over.. and happened to just catch MQ waking up scene.. must say that sixireon is made up of damn good gamblers.. despite having someone who cannot tell a club from a spade [no offence meant].. and other than me who went 4 rounds this afternoon without a trick.. I think when hock boon said he was lousy he was just being humble.. my uncle also told me he didn't know how to play mahjong then later said that no expert will say it openly..

ya.. should be completing my tutorials.. chem and math.. i haven't received my physics tutorial from my rep yet cos i pon school yet came for O'nite.. bio just sucks.. [pardon my french] i know everyone has finished math and i am the slow coach..

talk another time..

THE BIG MOUTH

Sunday, January 11, 2004

hi guys.. just to tell you that i'm not dead..

just dead tired after not sleeping that whole night and morning.. except for 1 hour on the floor..

-Ben-

P.S. I actually lost my user id :( ..
and then i found it again .. =)
haha if i don't write soon i'll soon drift into wilderness and become a defunct member. and so i shall pick up my fingers and place them nicely onto the keys which have been stained by my many-combined years of dirt. (5 years now)

anyways it's been a looong time since i last wrote. it's been exhausting and so perhaps that's why i've not sat down to type (not to mention paint some frames =p)

jaxoras is over. it's a.. sad occasion but certainly not one to mourn over. but it's like, poof, all those months are now firmly behind you now that orientaton IS over. many other things only start to come into perspective again (ie SATs) and now you are slowly finding the ground your feet is supposed to be standing on again. i'm getting rather draggy and all, maybe this entry is meant for my own blog but ah well. too bad, you chose to read this = p

i went through about half a day of lessons of friday and it's enough to shock me back into doing some studying over the weekend. i could not comprehend most of what was happening and i found myself with an easy tendency to fall asleep. horrible. by the time i finally left lesson it was like having attended an entire day of lessons in yiddish.

o-nite was very nervy-wrecking, because the kongmingdengs (my babies) still had not made one successful flight and i could imagine the faces on everyone should i launch fireballs into the sky. haha but you guys rock with your costumes, which sososo deserved a prize! (but not the bespectacled king) all those prayers finally worked out as we finally successfully put those kmds into the sky.. awww.

-- oops, intermission, went to watch yanzi on tv. aww, she looks much better now! wonders if she went for a facial during her break or sth. now where was i..--

before the longawaited and much awaited stayover at jiawen's house which i've been so eagerly anticipating since the first mention of it. but given the OG and it's favourite pastime, gambling ruled the night haha, save for leslie, peiyi, vicky and jiawen's frolick in the pool. BUT dammit, i fell asleep around 3. noooo, i DON'T want to sleep!!! not at a stayover, which was why i was shocked by the daylight around me when i woke up (only to later discover you pple had taken a photo JUST before i woke up) oh well.
haha huiling must be arrowing me. god knows why i went back to sleep after that. i'm such a peeeg. -oink oink-

.. leslie is one blind rat lar! haha, first he thinks jiawen has a real hippo in her pool. and the ultimate is wearing michael's specs for like a full 20 minutes or so, and constantly asking "do you have the spectacles cleaner? my specs is damn blur today" then mq comes and asks if someone took his specs.. -ROFL- sorry, but it was classic man..

i went home and dozed off again, before going to my grandma's place, where i, dozed off again. bleah.
went into full swing studying today, yipee. read through my notes, caught up abit and finished tutorials. yay. now to spend some time on SATs. -mutters-

i'm going to miss going to school to meet the OG for another full day of fun. but it's okay, i know i will still be seeing you all every morning, won't i. yay! just that i should wake up as early as i can. -mutterz- it's always those who live rather near school who go to school late.

oh, haha, and i think calling TTT me is a good thing for him, not a punishment = p so huiling has to think of something else. aww, it's always so cute to see everyone getting so onz about tutorial and all at the start, but as the year trudges by.. heheh.

anyways, heard my blog is rather inaccessible. for those who only got the right side, here's the left! = p
and i'd be glad if anyone is willing to redo the blog coz i'm new to using blogspot. have been ftp-ing my blogs. oh wells, today is the EARLIEST entry i've entered. shall go back to studying, then sleep.

tralalala.

MARK'S FINALLY IN. waaaa.
I guess I must be really bored to write two post a day... hahaha... I suppose that means I'm gonna hog the ja'tomb when it eventually gets passed around...=) Hmmm... just wondering... how long ago was the rain dance thing started... so that song must be really old...

By the way, to whoever posted the unbelievable song (I think it was chenglim)... thanks...
Oh yar... maybe the jedis would like to write out the moves...

Finished indices and surd hw...

See you guys tomorrow... try not to fall asleep during lectures...=)
Okay.. finally bothered to change switch my surname and name around... so all previous post posted by chen are actually posted by me...

What chem tutorial??? I'd better go check...

What's the degree of short-sightedness for Leslie??? It must be real bad if thinks there's a hippopotamus in Jiawen's pool...=)

Anyway, my neighbour living downstairs is always smoking. Really sick of having to close the windows practically everyday... especially when the area I live in is very breezy... are there any laws forbidding this (although I really doubt so...) ? It gets so irritating that everytime we small smoke, my sister keeps mumbling something like emphysema and chronic bronchitis under her breath...

Btw, if TTT calls me mel again, I shall call him HB... =)

Saturday, January 10, 2004

Haiz so sad orientation's over. And not just because tt means the start of lessons...

Btw even though some of us (or maybe everyone) thinks the OG rox and class sux, we're stuck with both with no way of escaping for the rest of our lives. So perhaps let's just drop the "OG better than class" thinking, and hope that by the end of January we'll know each other better.

Meanwhile I'll learn a few names per day, before I get overloaded with names and faces. And let's hope that by end of January everything will be fine, that the class will be more bonded together.

And that does NOT mean, of course, that Sixireon stops bonding. We exist as one, so let's continue that way... THREE CHEERS FOR SIXIREON!!!!

P.S.: Let's draw up an OG timetable after we get our new (and more packed) timetable.
Reached school at 12.15... but the conductor was late, so I guess it was okay... why so late? Yar... fell asleep on the bus, then when I got up it just passed commonwealth MRT station.... and there was a traffic jam there... so it took a long time to get to Queenstown MRT station. Funny thing is that when I took the train home, I fell asleep (again!) and ended up in punggol......

Keep thinking of the CPS cheer... no thanks to Mr Choo choo... whose artworks bring a whole new meaning to "it's written all over your face"... ...=) Anyway, hope you all had a great time...... anyway, it was quite funny to see people waking up, look around, and seeing most people still asleep go back to sleep again... hmm? Fine, I have a weird sense of humour...

still pissed at the dog for eating up my stuff.... so maybe there is some truth to "the dog ate my homework"...

No... it's not that I'm really on about hw.... I seriously cannot remember the laws... (as can be seen from my terrible memory)... so I shall go and familiarise myself with them...

Maybe it's a bit early, but my class seems quite nice... maybe it's cos I know 4 RG girls there.... but anyway, I still think Sixireon rox the most!!!

Friday, January 09, 2004

Huiling! How can you be revising math now?!?!?! Just like some girls in my class also, very on about homework (of all things): "tomorrow after physics lecture we all go and do homework together, k?"

...

About the class thing: well, my class definitely can't compare with y'all lah! So just want to say what a WUNNERFUL time I had for orientation, thanks to you guys, and hope everyone had fun too =)

Okay, should quickly post now before my com crashes again...

~*^*~
"If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague."
---Anonymous
hihi~! somehow, i feel very very stoned in my class, and supposedly most people don't like the class they're allocated in.... so. i guess it takes time? -shrugs- anyway, yeah, OG is one million times better as compared to class...

oh yeah... the other OGs seem to be really into the dress thing... going out buying costumes etc etc lol... it'll be funny if we win.

econs tomorrow ! i'm the econs rep (i think) of my class.. sounds fun, tho the seniors said thats the one lecture u can pon safely.......................... hmm.

now it's damn funny... like we're supposed to (and encouraged to) bond with both our OG and our class... and soon it'll be cca too... now i know why jc looks so damn busy...

Thursday, January 08, 2004

Okay... it's a bit late now... don't know whether Hockboon will read it on time... anyway... here's our plan... after school, we'll all meet at our wonderful ja'cosy (however you spell that) 12.30, right? Next, we'll buy our mahjong paper... but then again we never really stick to our plans.... so I'm not too sure... anyone has a black/red marker? Bring it tomorrow... thanks... oh yar, Mel Ho must bring cards tomorrow...

We're going to Jiawen's house after ON. And we'll all bend ON it. So, those staying over should bring a change of clothes... also, bring fun stuff to do... or I'll start making bored games again....=)

I think we wasted quite a lot of straws today... all thanks to a particular someone with some particularly interesting initials and a tounge twister along to go with it.

By the way, anyone going to school on Sat? Apparently there's some CO thing going on..... so someone wake me up early.... thanks...

Hai... don't know whether it was a wrong decision to change subj combi... oh yar... by the way, it was quite impulsive... I flipped a coin and let fate decide...... (hmm... sounds kinda familiar) Won't blame that someone with really interesting initials though... you're right... I have been thinking about it for a very long time.

Junjie's clues are making the card trick pretty obvious... anyway, I hit upon the solution to another trick... will show you guys tomorrow... it's pretty easy to guess...

It's twelve now... I'd better go and revise maths now... seem to have forgotten all the laws during the holidays...

Thanks everyone for posting!

Wednesday, January 07, 2004

hi guys.

mel, you can delete a post if you accicdentally duplicate it..

oh gosh. i totally gave up on the card thingie already. it was quite funny to see zhenyi work so hard on it.. dunno lah.

soleila still gives me the creeps. why can't we learn sun.. or that thing you do. then again, that one has closer physical proximity.. so maybe some people won't be comfy with the idea.. hmm hmm.

eh.. i think we should try for best dressed.. do you guys want or not?

hmm.. wow i got 3 lectures tomorrow. arts rocks ! blah. okiedokie. byebye.
WOO HOO! Lectures starting tomorrow! YEAH!

Hmm... can't psyche (how you spell the word) myself up... ='(

Anyway, today was fun, damn damn fun ("super" isn't enough to convey the feeling, "damn"'s more appropriate). Getting here and there, doing stupid tasks (which were quite fun). Haha how often can you get a group of people to all come together and do stupid stuffs? So... YEAH great job.

And for those still trying to solve the card trick, a list of hints:

1. Since one card of the suit is out, only 12 possible cards are left.
2. Think 3!. It means that there are 3!=6 ways of arranging 3 objects.
3. You get the info from the 2nd card, and 3rd-4th-5th card.
4. Think cyclic.

Ok that's it. I'll just give 2 sets. Hidden card's the leftmost card.

First: 3S QS 6D 9C 3H
Second: 8D 6D 3S KD 10S

Ok happy guessing...
sorry i dont know what i did but it got publish twice. *sheepish grin*
lo!

After much debating i finally decided to post something though i am really new to this blog thing and all i have been told is to write rubbish. anyway today was really fun (amazing race and all). even though we got a bit stuck but we still made it in the end. *YAY* we spent a total of $2.45 on transport. also the new campus is amazing and all and i really hope they finish in time so that we can enjoy it.

I can't believe that after so much playing during hols and orientation we actually have lectures tomorrow :P. haven't touch a textbook or something that needs actual thinking in a long while or even writing notes. also it's nice to know that some people actually figured out the card trick (even if a lot of clues were given to some people *grin*). Hope everyone has fun tomorrow!

melho (that's what i am usually called instead of melissa which i seldom answer to actually)

ps i have a hotmail account too which i only use for the msn it's melho_cliffhanger@hotmail.com just if you want to know.
The clues weren't that bad.... and I think everyone had a great time.... so I guess mission accomplished? I think with the exception of Hockboon, I write the most. So can pple like Mel Ho write something??? I think they did slightly alter the score... just to make everyone feel good.... as in maybe Kasegon was supposed to win on the second day, but they changed it such that people don't give up hope before they start playing the game... like for today... by letting levanox win this time, the levanox people would realise they still have a fighting chance... so regardless whether they rigged it or not, I think they did it for our good, so we shall kowtow to everyone of them for their wonderful intentions...

Oh yar... my Jap is not pro.... I only scored a 74.97 for prelims, and they still happily gave me an A1... actually it's a bit wasted Teck Tee didn't take Jap.... well, according to Jiawen, teck tee's chinese is really good. Usually those people who are good at Chinese are good in Jap too... so...

Congratulations to all those pple who managed to break the code... ... =) I'm sure you all had fun...

Anyway, I was quite blur today... after I got off at Outram Park, I had a mental block and I just couldn't figure out how to get to the NEL, even though I go there every morning... hai... I think that all happens when you're tired... like lunch, I hardly talked... because I know that if I didn't concentrate hard enough on eating my food, I'll probably spill a lot of it... yar, I know I'm sad...

By the way, just now on the bus I was trying to draw everyone, but I couldn't see a lot of people, for example, I could only see Teck Tee's side view and Michael's backview... so I only drew a few(Vicky, Peiyi,Jiawen,Woon Yong...) By the way, my drawing really sucks... just drawing for fun... so don't expect too
much... I haven't showed it to you guys yet... I think it's better not to after seeing Hockboon's reaction when he saw his. (Sorry-- used you as a guinea pig)

Finally, on a lighter note, to my 2 OGLs. I swear I really cannot see past you guys, neither can I read your minds... whatever made you think that is probably coincidental... (or a bit of reverse psycology-- like how one would react if one were XXXX)

Hmm.. may switch subject comb. It just suddenly dawned upon me that my bio sucked and the only reason why I got an A1 was because of my practical and section A which pulled me up. As for section B, I only barely passed it... (of course moderation contributed to the grade as well) Maybe I'll go and take Econs instead...

Can other people write some stuff down too? It's getting pretty dull....

Going to sleep soon... so that I don't have to concentrate so hard just to put a spoon into my mouth...


obscene time again. i'm GOING to sleep.

but man, huiling.. your card thing again.. arghh. having it right in front of me means i can't help but look at it. = ( bleah i hate being at the end of it, can't say the same about doing it though..

anyways i would think most of us actually do read the blog, but are just TOO lazy to type something into this small little box. look, it's so easy to post a message!

my nose is licking the keyboard. anytime soon it'll be *WHAP* if only i had a camera to take how much of a fool i look like now.

Today was quite fun.... yar... I know I should be getting ready for a long day ahead...but anyway, I figured I could write a little something before I go to sleep... anyway, for those interested to know, contract bridge is the one in which you have fixed partners, and it's the one which they play for competitions, etc. Your partner is always opposite you. And the bidding is quite standard (I think it's called ACOL or something). The aim is to raise the bid as high as possible, so you get more points... there're a lot of conventions, like 1 NT meaning 16-18 pts, with a balanced hand, etc. So after the pair wins the bid, the one in the pair which first suggested the suit becomes the dummy, and the player to the left of the dummy starts first. Then when he puts a card, the dummy's cards are revealed to all.... that's basically it... if you guys are interested, you can always look under the bridge standard ACOL bidding section or something. In case you guys are wondering, I'm not exactly pro at contract bridge... ... just happen to know many of the conventions...

Well, I don't think I'll enjoy my class that much... looks like all of them are muggers... and those whom I know in my class ARE muggers... hai... no more slacking for me...

Today was quite fun... couldn't dance very well, but still just joining in was fun enough... hope you enjoyed it too, Michael... ...just have fun! Anyway, I'm quite sorry today if I irritated pple today... not telling you pple how to break the code but I must say that Junjie is quite close to getting the answer... have fun! (remember P&C and the pigeonhole principle)=) Ordering Mcdonald's McChicken from a little store selling snacks is quite funny....=) But it's better than pple who go praying to bottles...

Okay, here's a few more combinations:h-hearts d-diamonds c-clubs s-spades

First card is the hidden card:
6h Ah Qc 2s 6s
