In this last 5 mins of 2004, let's see how much has happened..
In 5 mins time, my time with 1s08 will cease and draft yet another closed chapter in the history of my life.
In 5 mins time, i will begin my renewed 2yr journey as an arts student but in same old srjc, supposedly sg's most caring jc.
3 days from now, my name in the class list will be affixed with the letter R.
3 Days from now, i'll meet new people from all walks of life.
6 Days from now, i'll meet the people whom will have to endure my lame and corny jokes cum weird behaviour for an 'agonizing' 3 mths. (:
1 month from now, i'll be 18yrs old.
3mths from now, i'll meet new people yet again.
3 mths from now, i'll hafta meet and present my 1st student report to a principal named mrs kok :|

Dear mrs wong, mdm wong, ashikin, kerui, christopher, fahmy, gao fei, zhong wei, pei fang, hui fen, hui chuan, pei ching, najuma, norashikin, norliyah, nugan, wati, priya, joel, see yan, shri, hon meng, jean, leong shen, qijie and vanessa, visitors, classmates and FRIENDS =), it's the last day of 2004. as you would already know, starting tomorrow i will no longer be 1s08 #03, i will no longer make announcements and notices to all 21 of you at the top of my lungs, i will no longer attend mrs suresh's screechy sharp chem lectures, mrs wong's 'appreciative' bio lects, mr ng's 'amusing' chinese lessons and mdm koh's..urm mdm koh's chem tutorials, with the remaining 21 of you. i'm a person game for challenges. but you would 1st have to pull and drag me to the challenge :P taking up the 'chairmanship' was an uphill task for a person like me, whose character i'm sure most of you know very well. much less (or worse,) was this 'chairmanship' something other people did not want to take up.
furthermore i did not hold major leadership roles in the past which otherwise explains my lack of experience in handling this 'chairmanship' at first. some disasters which happened in the earlier part of this year could be attributed to this =| however i'll say that life in this class is very much different from what i've been through. i'm touched and moved by the generosity and sincerity of all 24(now 21) of you. it shows that friendship holds no boundaries, overcoming all barriers. The past 9 months have been pleasant, enjoyable, funny, amusing, hilarious and what-say-you, but at times scandalous with all sorts of stuff and 'activities' happening within the 4 walls of the classroom. i have learnt alot from you and it is something i will bring forward in the years to come. whoever the new ct rep may be, remember that you do not have to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Incredible Girl, The Incredible Hulk, Freakazoid, The Tick, Xiao Ding Dang
The Invisible Man, The A Team, Transformers, a Power Ranger, Cyclops, Wolverine or any superhero you fancy to lead, learn and gain confidence. and being bio students, you should know that the memories of our class are permanently stored and cannot be duplicated, cut-and-pasted, deleted, sheared, transformed, translated, manipulated, square or cube-rooted, log or ln-ed, dy/dx-ed, trigonal pyramidal-ed, fluid mosaic structur(e)-ed, adrenal medulla-ed, krebs cycled, project work-ed, gpp-ed, OP-ed or moved unless 10yrs down the road you decide to apply for Permanent head Damage. Whatever new year resolutions, ambitions and wishes you hold, may they surface to reality for you in the coming years ahead (: and if you happen to bump into 1A03/1A04, do take e trouble to say hi =)

i'm so bored. i don't know what to do at home.
so i'm updating my blog.
I went for mad movement today, which sometimes i feel that i'm putting too much effort into something that doesn't yield much benefits :almost all the managers have changed, the new managers dun seem to be srjcians (pretty ironic cos we're supposed to be assigned as managers) and i was darn pissed with my manager today.
i find him so stuck up.. juz cos he worked up the ranks and got promoted to manager so now he's flaunting how great he is. so sialan. HOPEFULLY tomoorrow is my real last-est of all last days, and i dun hafta see all that rott again. But then again there's great managers like Jonathan Tham, who's a real nice guy. and i sincerely wanna help him for crowd control on 31dec. i just gotta think abt it 1st.
i also crashed band bbq yesterday. Lol. Everyone there was going; 'who's that?' But made some neat new friends too. actually throughout the hols i've met ppl whom i didn't even know existed in srjc! haha. Played Bridge and i won my 1st mahjong game Lol. Stayed till 3am and cycled back.
srjc and vs life is totally diff. but there are pros and cons.
but occasionally i do still miss vs.

i think i'll neva see the aj girl again ): tmr's my last day on CIP.. pc and ashikin not thinking of doing next week so yea. i think i'll stop at 50hrs. shld be enuff for one whole year rite?
next yr gotta sign up for some camp.. it can get too damn boring during the hols.. and i dun wanna earn cip points begging for funds or "motivating cum pestering cum annoying cum getting ignored by ppl on orchard" =| next yr is going to be quite interesting. (:
anything is abt the whole carol saga again. ok one's gotta set things straight. Next yr it is likely (tho not 100% sure) that i'll find someone new.. so the qn now is whether i shld like 'cling' on to carol or juz move on =\ it's a tough decision. most guys juz take 'whateva's betta'. i'm not the ordinary =| anyway. that's next yr. it's still 2004.

heard about that habbohotel.com.sg thing? maybe another spin-off from the friendster bubble.
anyway when signing up, DO NOT click 'i am under 14 years of age'. Click (like what i did) and you shall find out (:
blogger's always lagging. it's a great thing to have this update via email thing.
the carol's number matter is still not resolved :| i hafta call for an agm with my 'advisors' soon before christmas day. 10-day countdown.
hmm oh yea i managed to get the no. of this girl named Jamie frm ajc. but i can't rmb whether she's the aj girl :| so dumb. i can only identify her becos of a certain 'something' that she wears. Lol.
hcjc+srjc+jjc+nyjc concert this coming friday. $6 a tic. it's not as if i'm dead broke but there's hardly anyone going for it.
i shall start lookin for ww2 com games after cip this week. it can get horribly boring at hme.
i've done 36hrs of CIP. yay. technically i could stop right now cos 36hrs (MAD movement) + 6hrs for J2 parent's day would get me over 40hrs already. heck i'll juz finish off everything till friday..
I shall be a.. motivator tomorrow!! (:!! it seems hard but those 2 guys who were stationed with us at taka today didn't seem to have it so bad. muz get taka tmr =] heheh. The thing that seperates motivator and fund-raiser is probably u get to collect phone no.s. hawhaw. may the royal rumble begin.

i volunteered as a 'motivator' today; which didn't turn out that well. you can be damn enthu in e first 20mins or hour or so but when everyone starts avoiding or ignoring you then it
does occasionally get to you. so mabbe i hafta give credit to pei ching for tolerating my silence and moodiness after the second half/towards e end of the shift. jonathan juz becomes dead silent when he's moody :| anyway one just has to hope it gets better tmr when we change location? haven't tried 2nd shift t0o. wonder how diff it is at nite.
the aj gal didn't come today ): bummer.
i juz can't stop thinking of this dream i had last week (: so nice.!

stupid nehneh ailin keeps changing her blog add
and i alwaes go after her changing the links (: nevermind i'm a nice gd natured person. keke.
i ponned MAD movement today (:! so nice having nothing to do on a weekday afternoon. But I soon became bored too =\ even though i woke up at 1pm..
zw and i stayed over at kerui's place yesturday. More on that later.
I realize I should start using proper grammar and punctuation even in blog entries. It's starting to affect my GP essays. :P
I shall now talk about what i did during MAD yesturday :) sounds like i'm doing pw OP all over again. Quite alot of people turned up for MAD yesturday, i think Park Security and Fund Raising sections both became filled up. The only section left was Motivators.. which hardly anyone wants to do :P usually all these 3 sections have lots of vacancies.
Anyway, ABOUT yesturday, i landed up in a cluster with norashikin and Qi Jie. The smallest cluster. argh. being the minority is NOT fun. it somehow makes you feel how the banglahdeshi and indian foreign workers feel in Singapore. Kerui joined us at abt 3pm when it was pouring buckets. He happened to be in orchard too. All of us had to postpone fund raising till about 3.20pm when the rain slowly started to subside. to be honest, it's kinda deja vou that kerui joined us yesturday. I wouldn't be comfortable in my cluster yesturday if not for him..
So the four of us (i/c kerui) went over to Lido to 'sell flags', which is basically the what we do during fund raising. gotta say kerui's an effective flyer distributor :P he should consider that as a part time job. he almost single handedly gave out all the i think 400+ flyers?
rain rain rain.. collections were not that fantastic as Sunday.. partly because of the on-off frequency of the rain. people seem less willing to donate when it rains =\ i wore running shoes yesturday because they're more comfortable to stand in for 2,3 hours. which was a BAD choice ~ my shoes became semi-soaked cos of the puddles of water from the rain. Looks like i hafta continue wearing my walking ones.. which are almost non-permeable to water (: they can even be considered as boots.
ANYWAY during fund raising, jonnie spotted a supa-cute gorgeous bombastic babe riding an equally head-turning attention grabbing TREK hardtail bike!! Even though she was like wearing 3/4 cargo pants but her legs were WOW. any guy would die to have a girl with those legs. see. girls shld go cycling and build nice legs (: and she's so utterly cute and fair-skinned. that is what i call B-A-B-E. mind blowing man.
The four of us adjourned to have our 'break' at mac. and got caught by a frigging Manager. that guy's one spastic lame ass lah. He blew the whistle on us and told our Managers in-charge. The thing is he can't recognise us nor does he know our names. HAWHAWHAWHAW.
Shortly after, we went back to the Command Station to sign out. Being Cluster Leader (again!) i went to the 'aircon room' upstairs to count the collections. A measely $14+ + in notes and coins. At least it's better than our $7+ a few days ago. Lol. After the usual signing of crappy documents and papers i had to wait for the next cluster to come before i leave the room.. and THEN the next cluster was THE AJ girl!! (: hahaha. zw and keui shld clearly 100% all about her now. haha. i was rambling the whole night yesturday how cute and chio she was.
It's kind of funny how feelings can suddenly emerge from 0 to 100% in a few days. I've seen the AJ girl quite a few times but i only said hi to her in the 'aircon room' (: and it was just a casual greeting. dunno how i became so infatuated with her after the 'hi' incident :P must get/ask/steal/copy her no. the tmr (: horrible me. going for CIP just to know gals.
hahahaha. and this is my plan. sms her and call her if the response is gd. even if she's attached there's nothing wrong with being friends rite (:
i'm going for CIP tmr! Lol.

hmm MAD movement was pretty fun yesterday. Took up Fund-Raising together with my classmates. It was damn hard at 1st cos generally Singaporeans are hesitant to part with their money. even tourists ignored us. and some caucasians can be downright rude!
haha but my partner and i soon drew up a "strategy" haha.
1st we wanted to target chiobus to donate.
but there were none there. Lol.
2nd; target tourists.
which didn't work =
finally the winning formula came in the form of parents with small kiddies in prams =)
haha and it seems tt the little kids were more willing to donate if i was the person holding all those small toys/souvenirs.
it was so damn funny i was like a toy salesman infront of orchard mrt. there were little kids who'll scream and cry for their parents to donate juz to get that toy. haha.
i'll be rich if i became a toy salesman :P
probably gonna try sumthing else today.. mabbe motivator?
or park security.. which is so damn laid-back (:

jonathan, this is what the foods you eat say about you:
You sincerely believe that everything around you is beautiful, even though other people may not notice. You are a determined person and set high goals for your life.
You're very careful and circumspect in all matters but you won't face any problems until they actually happen. Also you're a kind and sensitive person.
You are vigorous yet gentle. You appear to be mysterious to those who don't know you very well because you don't often reveal your feelings. You like to socialize and are popular among your peers.
You are self-centered and disagree other people's feelings and ideas. You normally go against social rules and regulations.
maybe true.. maybe not =
