since the meeting for ORA was like... no one turn up except jd, i, sam, hao yang, deshawn, i shall nt tok abt it.

LET'S TOK BAGPIPE REVOULTION!

scenario: i needa de-stress. i wanna pipe. therefor, jd, lk and i go to the BB rm to pipe. juz trying to touch up on our founders' day playing. so we played highland cathedral. Cheeks came in to get his AQ shoes. looked at us. somehow, we had the same notion. y do we want bagpipe to be juz regurgitation? such nice songs! therefore, cheeks comes over to jd's side, takes over the drums and the bass drums for a lil while. and WE GO CRAZY! somehow, we have the same notion of wat we shd do for choreography side, and we choreograph a veh nice drum beat to HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL! at first, the bass drum will beat 8 times, den, a solo pipe will play. after the first half of the tune, the snare will come in slowly, jazz style. once the tune is finished for the first time, JD will continue the "bom bom bom pak!' while the rest ROLL into the tune for the 2nd time. the whole band, all the pipes, will then start playing with more jist! den the 3rd time, the drummers will bring the song into ultimate climax b4 ending at the first verse, slowly one by one the pipes will stop playing, until 1 pipe and the bass left. then end.

WOOT! we even did one for itchy fingers! we went MAD. ROCK, JAZZ, and our pure raw emotions injected into these tunes! this is wat scottish ppl like oso. playing with FEELINGS! yeah! we lurved it and juz simply couldnt stop until all of us juz ran out of breath... it was damn fun!!!

we're now toking abt setting up a band. we need a little cymbal kinda thing on the bass, longkuan and i will pipe, junda and cheeks will drum, terrence will provide synthesizer background and jaryl will provide violin to comlement e bagpipe! we wanna come out with this revolutionary CD dat will rock e world! ooh yeah!

den cheeks took his guitar and we starting playin songs like "miracles", "hey jude" etc etc where i turned the first aid kit into my drumming kit and we all sang and sang! i even sound recorded. rox manz! we aint gonna care abt wat hold the drumstick properly. with basic background, we're gonna play to our emotions and let the music FLOW!!!

when we went for bubble tea, we heard some sec 2 boys humming Highland cathedral! they apparently heard it when we were playing and din noe we were the ones who played it. oh yeah! ppl are liking bagpipe tunes now! see how good being radical and REVOLUTIONARY is! OOH YEAH!!!

HIGHLAND CATHEDRAL: CHEEK'S REMIX. genre: pop, jazz, scottish and pure SINGAPOREAN RIBB MOOD! XD

English day. lol! we got 2nd for quiz! if not for e stupid buzzer round, we'd hv won....




french class today. learnt "depuis que", meaning "since". my fren was asked to do sentence construction and he came up with this:

"depuis que (a certain someone. name not used to "protect privacy") est arrivé, tout le monde avons eu les cheveux longues"

(disclaimer: anyone who reads this and who finds this offensive please take note that u hv no obligation to read it and i'm just plain stating a fact of wat happened at french lesson.)

actually, y am i putting a disclaimer anyway? dun tell me i cant even tok abt wat happened in french class? for fear of some ppl who are going against principles of democracy? yeah i noe it may hurt or watever BUT wat the hell is the chance of someone whom i dunno and doent know me coming across my blog? when its so hidden its more diff to get then a password? (other den getting info fr links like okhrana working for the Tsar or cheka working for Lenin, which is outright autocracy and dicatorship). AND, u hv no obligation to read my blog. u dun even hv to continue reading it. the fact that its up on web doesnt mean u hv to read it rite? its like i put my wallet in the open doesnt mean u hv to steal it or take it away rite? yes, i TEMPT u. but temptation can be resisted! dun tell me u hv no sense over right and wrong... so, Y DID ZACH GET SCOLDED?! WAT IS HAPPENING TO DEMOCRACY? SOCIAL STUDIES? HISTORY? ALL DOWN THE DRAIN?

wth. i'm beginning to understand the importance of SS. XD

got this from xin miao's blog. damn meaningful:

got this from rng... i think it's really meaningful.
"WARNING: DO NOT OVERUSE THE WORD LOVE
people say it all the time. sheesh. i love you! just throwing the words away. throwing it away. just exactly what's the difference between saying that to someone who really stays in your heart and someone who's just an aquantaince? its easy to say that you love; but do you really know what love is. the more you say it, the more worthless it gets. its just like money. the more you print, the less it is worth. i just don't want to devalue my worth. and eventually, if you don't see it often enough, and don't say it enough, you'll not love it anymore. then, i'd rather not say. keeping it in your heart and knowing its still there counts more. it does. and you know the difference."
so true. "i love you!" is overused these days.

that's y i dun use it often. but when i do, u noe i realli mean it... there are a few ppl i'd realli like to say it to. love nt onli in bgr, but family love, frenship love. veh impt, veh lil in Singapore. i'm so happy to have such a great family; my uncles, aunts, couzzies (we are KIDS! XD), couzzies' spouses, grandparents, my dad, mum, sis, bro!!! and frens! yeah! XD

life rox when u hv someone to share ur happiness and woes, ur angers and emotions with. life sux when u feel happy, sad, angry etc, but hv no one to tok to...

wah lau... so many ppl got lubbed for writing their personal opinions on blogs... wth. if ppl dun like wat others write on the blog, can they juz like screw off coz blogs are actually online diaries meant for someone to write their opinions? if u dun like then dun read la. its not so easy to chance upon a blog in the first place. juz like pretend u saw nth and close the webpage lorz. wth. like wt u want us to do? put ultra mega safety password security systems juz to prevent 1 or 2 ppl who want to continue reading wat they dun like? Freedom of speech? cant u give us the benefit of doubt? if u chance upon a diary, and u dun like wat u see, muz sue us oso arhz? XD

before i continue with my entry today, let me address an issue. before you think that a ger is daoing u when u nvr receive a reply from her sms, and u're desperate to tok to more people (esp gers, in my opinion) please consider the following (in order):

1) if she is the type who daos ppl.
2) since she isnt, check if her fone number is correct.
3) since u've checked it doubly and triply to MAKE SURE its correct, check if your sms has any hidden meaning dat may offend the ger.
4) since its onli to congratulate her on a victory in a competition so as to spark a conversation...
CHECK YOUR SMS DELIVERY STATUS

my dear fren... ur sms was not received by the girl. not that she dao you... XD (some ppl should know who i'm toking abt... XD!)

ok, back to my post.
yesterday was at cheek's hse for post AQ dinner. went to school first to play bagpipes. YEAH!!! i can play the whole medley now without the pipe not sounding in the middle!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH! den it was raining and so geoff and lamzy's parents came to pick us up. i muz say dat i've gotten a very good impression of Mitsubishi cars after riding in geoff's car. quiet, luxurious and real good suspension. (the onli thing lacking in honda's cars is a better suspension). woot!

darn fun nite! playe mahjong, bridge, PS, everything. then had the big cake and the buffet. juz like how we were b4 AQ. yeah! it was so fun dat zach, kean yung and i stayed till 11.05. by the time we reached the mrt, THE EAST WEST LINE'S LAST MRT HAD GONE. SHYT!!!! ARGH! we were desperate. well, zach was more desperate then i was. i could ask my parents for money for cab. so on the mrt, we were discussing all possible methods to get home. then... *EUREkA!* DHOBY GAUT. Zach: north south line. Me: 111 or 106 bus. HENG AH. i chionged to take the 111 that had juz arrived at the bus stop. zach chionged to take the LAST train to jurong east. we're darn lucky... haha.

Andrew Lim got jacked by the Consul todae. Bell rings. 5 min later, Andrew Lim constatly looks at his watch impatiently. Consul notices. Interrupts his own speech by saying "Andrew Lim keeps looking at his watch. I've got a big clock there facing me too. I know I've overshot the timing. U want me to stop and go off now rite?" LOL!!! The whole school was roaring away. JACK!

and during 3rd lang recess today, Geoff suddenly asked me for Val's number. I gave him and asked y he wanted. "I wanna strike a conversation. Juz ask her abt Resiliance trail den can start a long convo liao. Last time i sent her sms but she got damn surprised and scared to receive my sms. now so long liao, try again. YAY!" LOLZ! XD. BUAYA KING! I was damn tempted to do lotsa stuff. but i din. nt so bad... XD!!! Geoff certainly lives up to his name... XD

din sleep in sch much... lights out at 10+pm, i onli slept at 1am. woke up at 2.45. Wat the mother... how to go AQ? so i took power bar. sian la! i was damn sleepy... den took taxi to NTU at 3.15. the uncle blasted S.H.E music. damn nice! songs like superstar. realli into the mood of AQ. then i went there. the toilet allocated for us no toilet paper! i was damn urgent! so illegally went to hostel toilet. YES! the facilities damn song. came out satisfied... XD. when i registered, i saw the coordinates and clues... i nearly fainted. we were supposed to use the firing range for the whole of AQ leg 1! ARGH!!!! siao sia! i was panicking... kept consulting chong keat on where to go. den warm up, kept going toilet, etc. Boys teams were flagged off first. Seeing the way they started, i began to get veh nervous. my tiredness was killed by powergel liao...

anyway, at 6.14, my heart was pumping up like duno wat... the atmosphere was almost too much for me... kept coughing until my team-mates asked if i needed a last minute reserve. I'M SER. XD COUNTDOWN: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 (shyt.... startin!),5, 4, 3, 2, 1... FLAG OFF!!!! (horn blares and flag is waved) CHIONG AH!!!! at tt pt, i wuz contemplating whether to navi my way out anot. but then everyone went the same way. west. so i juz follow. we were nearing the back mid of the pack, but everyone decided to "bash" thru the chalets (creating a bottle neck) while i took the road, where no one took. although it was juz a mini diversion, we overtook tens of teams! then juz followed them out to the west of NTU. i muz say, by that time, i was shagged liao. i couldnt believe it. i was actually pushing mentally to get my way out of NTU! SHYT! i still have 28km! but heck. i know now that a semi conscious mind is excellent for bashing. we went past the bike transition pt and straight towards the tip of singapore. i got my team to bash again twice and overtake teams. i was realli pushing. my team kept pushing me. the strain was killing me... budden thru many sorts of encouragement, from other teams, from ACS (sorry... i was half dead, juz heard the words "ACS" so i juz say wat i said out... pai seh)

anyway, we were 5th overall team to reach 1st checkpt! 3rd in relay! not bad! continue! den suddenly i felt betta. i felt easy to run. powergel and powerbar were acting up. budden... somehow, japheth cramped... den the hills were quite steep. had to support him all the way. had great help frm other competing teams, esp 909! u guys rox! (dunno wat team it is) by the time we reached bike transition, many teams had overtaken us... so we chionged thru it. low wall, support each other and push each other up. monkey swing, zach do. bing long cannot, i juz say "get down" and do it. low rope bing long cannot do again. he say "i cannot", i say "get up" and juz hoist him up to the tape line. rappelling, juz drop. den we went to get bikes. by this time, our log card was half dead. it was raining sia.

biking: please note: we lost our compass and map. so we went ahead without them. we juz started using the bikes den zach's and mine's gears came off. WAT THE MOTHER... then all went smoothly. we followed the other teams all the way till the last one b4 sarimbun. the terrain was tough! gravel, steep upslopers, etc. it was like we were chionging on high gear den suddenly the upslope. den we had to come down and push them up... wah lau. i learnt my lesson. i cycled on plane road on low gear. den by the time i got upslope, it was much easier. XD den came the bombshell. Arjun Singh and his team went off without us. no compass, no map. then, it was still ok. we made it to VERY NEAR SARIMBUN. there was this road in front and a road to the right. the one to the right had a white tape (meaning cannot go in) and the one in front had its gates open. ah duh, we take the front one. we circled in there for 35min and came out dead. bing long jap couldnt even continue. low morale and weak bodies were setting in. we had overshot cut off time... DISASTER. after 1 hr, we finally found out tt the white tape road to e right LEAD TO SARIMBUN! MOTHER FUCK! (i said b4 i onli use this word on my blog when i'm blardy pissed) dat was when we followed 923. we heard that cut off time was extended to 12.30. then we CHIONGED all the way! we saw the "sand pack" we were supposed to see. we shouted SARIMBUN!!! and fucking chionged our way in. i cramped. BADLY. but heck. i hopped my way in, passed all neccessary stuff to leg 2 before i finally couldnt take it and juz dropped, screaming and crying in pain. crying in anger. crying in agony. we made it at 12.15. 6hrs... wat's more, Boys team got DQ coz they came in at 12.40...

now i'll skip everything till when we returned to sch. (btw, val smsed me at 4am exactly so encourage the AQ team. THANX A LOT VAL! haha) i received a call from lamzy that relay team was DISQUALIFIED. from the last checkpoint, leg 2 hadnt come in to petir road. total nuclear bomb. by that time, 80% of the teams had been DQ. onli like 2 teams competing in relay for 3 prizes? i was worried for leg 2's safety, totally devastated by the news, totally furious with AQ 2005. where's the spirit of AQ? by DQing teams, are u telling us we're not fit for AQ? wat FIRST FOR BOYS? all the AQ teams were helping each other to compete against time and the officers!!! for that one time, i was not proud to wear my BB polo. i was not proud to tell others i was a BB boy. on the way later, i pointed my middle finger at all the BB banners i saw. we all did. we were all PISSED OFF. we even went to eat KFC 3 piece meal to show our anti-AQ. in the end, yeah, leg 2 came in at 6.30. phew! we were therefore, ranked 4th. they told us they spent 1.5hrs replacing punctured tyres with spares, to find out all the spares were punctured oso... thanx to the other AQ team which gave leg 2 a spare tyre to allow them to complete the race! (see wat i mean?) primers' team came in 4th oso. not bad, our best result so far. but it was definately nt fair competition. many teams made it to the transition pts 1min after cut off pt. if they had continued, i dunno wat'd hv happened. all i know is my first AQ experience has been a hell lot of one. realli wanna thank leg ACSJ for everythin! u guys rox!!! yeah! haha. admit it. we're fast. juz mishaps. :P . anyway, BB HQ had betta watch out. SIXTIETH IS GONNA RETURN TO AQ 2006. WITH A VENGEANCE...
