hi everyone.
sorry v long never blog. quite busy nowadays. i still have to find time to do taiwan report. haiz...
anyway, on the previous post, i forgot to add that on sat, i did QT before i went to AQ training. it was really refreshing, with no distractions, just a pity i just cant do that everytime. and on sun, my bro asked me to help them(the band) to sing while they were jamming. although my bro told me only for this time, i was so happy. i was smiling all the way while i was singing 'one way' and while my chorus went off-pitch. whee... i dont mind joining the band, just that i will have a lot fo music to catch up on. and plus, i dont know how to play any instruments except for piano (not v gd) and drums (cant be compared with bro).
about sec 3 camp. i dont understand why ppl at first dont want to go. they want to stay at home to slack, but dont they see the need for this camp. i see. for me i feel that 3sa need this camp for us as a class to bond together, which was exactly what happened during the camp. the camp was really fun. most memorable was the nature rumble where you had to walk and lie down on the mud. cold... but according to my senior bb friends, they had to walk with their elbows in the mud. super cool lah! but different campsite too lah. had to walk/swim with water at waist at times. ben toh's left shoe came out, so his left feet was bare-footed. i cannot imagine my feet bare-footed stepping on the 'unknowns'. lol. there was also the rock-climbing which i cheering everyone else on but didnt go up. didnt want to because i will definitely embarrass myself, but can blame on the time constrain. about half didnt go due to time too. sheng ren was amazing, climbing so high. again there was some who didnt want because they want to 'slack'. and there was the obstacle course. im going to hate going to army. with the low wall which i cant get over but sheng ren can, with the arm walk which i cant get through but managed to slide through. these are higher than those found in the neighbourhood parks, if you come down halfway, you may hurt your armpits if you dont do it the right way, which is to clap your hands above your head. and the window, chicken feet lah. a bit different from our school, but about the same lah. the food was pretty good, i have to say, better than what i expected in a sec 3 camp, but not worth it for 80++ dollars.
and whats with the cheer with my name in it? because our team was called group A at first, but then changed to A team instead of 'A!' (said in singlish slang) as ryan suggested. then it was
Instructor: A Team Oi!
A Team: Oi!
(2 times)
Instructor: A Team Oi!
A Team: AARON!
Aaron (standing up while rest r squating and in the cutest voice ever): 'A' Oh!
lol!
then we also did the classic "Oh A Team, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind...."
and the clap which we took quite long to master:
Sheng Ren: Everyone 1 Time!
A Team: 1 hit on thigh and 1 clap and another hit on thigh
Sheng Ren: Everyone 2 Time!
A Team: 2 hits on thigh and 1 clap and another hit on thigh
Sheng Ren:Let's break it down!
A Team: 1 hit on thigh, 1 clap, right hand to hit right thigh twice, 1 clap, left hand to hit left thigh once, 1 clap, right hand to hit right thigh twice, 1 clap, left hand to hit left thigh once, 1 clap,right hand to hit right thigh twice, both hands hit both thighs, then hands cross and hit, and uncross then shout OI!
for the dance item we did algorithm dance. i thought about the "Boom Tara Tara" dance, but then forget it. something really amazing happened. for some reason, i remembered that the instructor said something, then i kinda prayed to God that it will rain. very soon, it rained. drizzled first, wanted to practice the dance, but andrew gave wrong info to class, but i dont blame him. but zhongren acted kinda surprising. zhongren actually told andrew whos your leader and be realistic and not to depend on him anymore and blah blah blah. i think zhongren just wanted the best for the class, but i was like shocked. when he was blaming andrew, johnathan phang actually stood up to defend andrew. i have to applaud him for that, i dont know i would do that if i was faced with such as situation. so because it was my fault, i immediately took responsbility for it. after half an hour, i got our class to meet at canteen and then go to the main office outside to practice our dance. i got ian to help too because he was there to witness the zhongren freak out and then he was freaking out too, but i was able to cool him down. while i was bathing, i was feeling big-headed that i was able to keep everything under control, but i was also worried that the dance as every class have to have an item for the "campfire". but when outside the main office to practice, immediately zhongren, melvin, and nigel wong went to help and do everything, so ian and i could slack. ryan tried to help too, but didnt. ian and i just got the class there and get them in rows. but really glad that zhongren, melvin and nigel wong took over. thanks! then i prayed for the rain to stop, it stopped. wow! but didnt have the campfire, i go into that later.
we slept in tents, which was really interesting. we had to get the floorboards, one for one person. and in the middle there was a pathway. interesting! shoes outside, and luckily, i think i prayed again, the rain came on the second night, so shiok and cold. choon kit and i got the brightest torchlights in the tent. i tripped over pegs a lot of times. we had to wash our plates, forks, spoons, and cups. milo was always so dilute. my socks were in the mud and really stunk.
now with the campfire. i suspect it was the rain wet wood tt was supposed to be used for the campfire. so we went to the hut that was able to fit everyone. we had to do a cheer and an item. our cheer was the longest, and when i said the "A"Oh! nobody understood until after the camp, i think. our performance wasnt really the best. 3s1 was the best, with dj(poor farmer) and jeremy(rich guy) liking over a "boy"girl(Dex). there was a normal class which performed a skit to show that UNDERAGE smoking is bad. shouldnt it be SMOKING is bad? everyone boo-ed them after their skit. 3s1 won the best performance and 3n1 won the best cheer, with the help of the drums. instructor bobby and the other guy was really good in entertaining us. and there was a dance competition, yi lei represented our class and had to follow some instructors' dance moves, so when the music stops, they had to be the same as the instructor. yi lei was pretty good...at cheating. he moved when noone was looking at him. instructor bobby raised everything to another level. i think he learnt how to breakdance before. he was reallly really good at dancing.
i think instructor bobby was the best instructor around. he was the most jovious among the rest. he showed a lot of brain teasers. the other instructors that followed us were wan yi, and ken g (both spelled according to their pronounication). they were good too, but bobby talked the most and was the sickest among all the instructors. i dont want to say anything what he said or else i would be sick too. but after the campfire, when we sat down and talked things out, saying that maybe one day we may see each other on the street and then recognise each other and it was so touching, so sad. for the last time we did our cheer and it was just so sad.
after that he showed us some brain teasers and i got a few. let me blog this:
coffee and tea - after he said everything, if he closes his lips, its coffee. if his lips are opened, its tea
numbers-after all the funny actions, the last number would be the number of fingers he showed before the last one.
how many sheeps jump over the wall? - the number of sheeps is the number of words in the sentence he said before that question. like: one more time. how many..? ans:3
criss-cross - according to arvindh, if he touches his finger twice which criss-crossing, it would be the opposite of the last one. meaning, at the end if he said its crossed and he touched his fingers twice, it would be uncrossed.
thanks all about the camp. on fri, after the camp, i went to BB. i left my BB bag in the storerm before i went for the camp. i left all my valuables there also. except for my keys lah or else how i lock my storerm on wed. brought musketry, but changed to PT Kit. after praise and worship, i went to help the sec 1s. the sec 4s who went taught them a little about drill. i was the "COS" on that day. so simple lah, because no rollcall and so small group. sec 1 had to go over the low wall. sec 2 went for first aid stage 2. sir gab bought me soya bean and bubble tea for the seniors, and we were drinking happily in the upper court. then suddenly gab said sec 2s, then he quickly wanted to hide. i thought he was mocking me and wanted to run away so i stayed in my seat. then gab told me the sec 2s were coming then we hid behind the art rooms. then gab pretended to scold me then i just sat on the floor and laughed. lol. then gab successfully threw away his and my drink after finishing it and "gave" senior joel the bubble tea in front of the sec2s to cover up everything. i was about to laugh, about to crack but didnt. then thats all lah. then we played captain's ball and i was asked to lead cool down and i was actually playing with gabriel. while doing the crotch stretch, sir pushed mine all teh way down. and then we did 3 sets of that. then gab made us do o-n-e-t-w-o-t-h-r-e-e-f-o-u-r-f-i-v-e push-ups after dismissal. one letter one push-ups. and after everything he told us tt we only did "five" push-ups only.lol. i rested in teh storerm until my aunt came to pick me.
on sat, got aq training. after 2.4 with johnathan tee pacing me, and arriving 1 min later than the previous week, we had relay, meaning sprinting 200m and passing the rolled-up magazine to the next person. for 4 times. argH! the fit were feeling tired, what abt me? and plus, the group which came in last had to do push-ups. i was really apologetic to the group. it was because of my fault that i sabo-ed my group to do 50 push-ups, not all at one go lah. andrew vomitted, and other ppl was feeling dizzy. for everything, robin ang came and encouraged me saying that i had mental strength, saying that the fact that i know that aq trainings would be tough and you still come shows that i have mental strength and by aq, i would be called skinny. lets hope that would happen. then robin gathered everyone and gave us inspirational talk about aq. after that we went to bra brasah complex popular to buy assesssment books for myself. usually i would like get a basket full of books and then choose from there. this time, there was 2 baskets full of books that i had to choose. took about 2 hours. after everything super tired lah. from 2 baskets to 12 books only, then waited so long for pris's popular card, something was spoilt lah so had to wait very long. while my aunt waiting i was playing with priscilla . i carried priscilla then she would tell me where she want me to go. sometimes i overshot then she would "say" into my ear stop! very funny lah. then priscilla wento to buy some stickers while i wanted to buy whiteboard duster. there was one which looked exactly like our schools. lol. then went to cell group, made my new year's resolution which i will talk about the next post and then went for dinner. as it was raining, and maybe for other reasons like LAN, my cell group went to AMK central to eat, but because elohim went and he wanted to eat at the church coffeeshop, had to phang sang my cell group adn follow him. no choice wad, he still quite new to our cell group. i ate chicken rice and char kway teow. first time i ate so much. chicken rice is not filling now. and because i scared 2.50 too much for me, i ordered char kway teow 2 dollar one. elohim ate chicken rice add rice, ban main and ice milo. haiz...
when my aunt fetch me back, for some reason she bought KFC. i was actually quite full, but because she was kinda eating alone, i accompanied her. my mum ate too.
on sun i went to church 5612, 3rd service then went to thomson plaza. josh, ngaim, desmond and me left early while issac waited for amos and samchew. josh went to cut his hair. all my church things fell onto the escleraltor, resulting in some black stuff all over. ngaim was addicted with debating over me telling desmond's sister that ngaim hit desmond and debating over whos right. he dont call that debating, he calls that "fighting for his right". the right has been fought and its his, and he still wants to fight. then went to burger king to eat but actually i wanted to eat at the dim sum stall. then brought josh to eat at the $1.20 ice-cream but he looked at the flavors and didnt want, while i was enjoying my chocolate ice-cream with oreo on top (total $1.50) with my church stuff, amos church stuff and his drum pedal. do you think ppl will think that i gela carrying drum pedal around. then my aunt picked me and went home. then had difficulty doing zuo ye. so amos told no need to study and went gym with him. he changed my treadmill to 30mins 6km/h. actually i liked that, i felt less tired so go home can still study, will consider it about being permanent. then went sushi teh to eat. there was almost an argument between the manager and the waiter for taking so long to give us water. i thought i ordered cold noodles, but at the end, it was something like ramen. wasted! ate the most sushis between papa, bro and me.
on mon, i had to wake up early to have "meeting" with class committee. then the most shocking thing was i had been chosen as AFGM's vice-president and mascot. ppl protested that only 1 person 1 post. then mr goh said i too gd. over-whelming. everything's else the same. after sch there was physics make-up lesson. and miss seah gave the class 10min break, so class arrived to mr goh's lab late. then i extra asked mr goh whether he needed to go to the old school building because i was going there to do AQ equipment check-list. because now the NCC rm can only be opened from inside the building so mr goh and elo and sahul and ian and me carrried 2 tables and chairs up to his lab. elo and i ran with the table while ian was struggling to run too. lol. then went back, but equipment list almost done. come to let me see only. then allan and zx "scolded" me wheres my committment and blah blah blah. crap!
on tue, which is today, everything was same except that miss seah gave us a 120-word spelling test. first time in my life. and it will be counted in the CA. i laughed at how i spelled some words i dont know about. oh ya, and there was a A maths test. simple simple lah. can score one. then after that i extra, went to mr. goh's lab to help out in teacher's day celebration from 2-3pm. then at 3pm i was supposed to go for maths olymipiad but couldnt find the classrm, or was there no maths olymipiad because no one went. haiz...went home, went to see where my new tuition would be and on my way home, i saw this notice at the bus stop saying there was a garage sale near the ntuc. so after i bathed i took my scooter and went to see. nothing leh. haiz...went home loh.
and just now tonite, i learnt that zx got tombstoned by one of his friends outside mr lim's lab. lol.
i took 1hr and 40 mins to write this post.
