I can't hold on
Any longer
Any sooner.
I know.
It's all tying me up.
I have to struggle free
But most of the times
I fail.
I fall
And i can't get up.
Personal stuff
School work
They just don't stop
Do they?
This fucking life is driving me mad.

I Used To
I used to
Wear cheapskate clothes
Scimp and save
Three-for-ten dollars
I have loads.
No
I wouldn't spend
Thirty dollars on a top
Fifty dollars on shoes
Or hundreds in shops.
It's different now.
I'm changing
For the worst.

Nobody's Here
Where are you
When I needed you the most?
Where are you?
You're turning up your nose.
There's nobody here
Who feels what i feel
Nobody here
Who knows
I'm going through the mill.
You won't understand.
No
You don't care.
Go away.

Fulfilling!
Today we had Textile Manipulation class in the morning. There's no afternoon class today! YAY!
We did more tie-dye(damn we have to hand in four pieces for another assignment by Friday but i can't get anything presentable!)
Oh yeah, a minor accident. One girl was using the hair dryer(to dry the dye) where sparks and smoke came out of the hair dryer. I think it burnt. Haha. I was sitting right in front of the dryer okay. Later on another dryer went spoilt. What the hell...
We were supposed to hand in our project today, but the lecturer later decided to let us take it home to improve our presentation. Luckily. I had not done one of the criteria cause of a email communication problem.
After class i bought a magnifying glass fromthe TP bookstore before taking the bus to TM. Went to Popular to buy more stuff. Then i went to buy snacks and drinks to refill my empty stomach. I was walking to the bus stop when i decided to sit down and have lunch. So i settled for the overhead bridge. I sat down on the stairs. There are two sides to the bridge, and this one is rarely used, cause the other one leads directly to the MRT station. So creepy plants have crept all over the steps. HAHA.
Reached CP. Shopped around, buying stuff for school use. Then I went to the arcade. Here is the order of the games i played:
1. Time Crisis 4
2. Daytona
3. A game where you use a hammer to hit bears popping out from their hidey holes. (I have to let off StEaM mah...) You have to hit really hard for the machine to register it. Good.
4. Lame game where you have to pick up a soft toy with a clasp. (You know what i'm talking about.)
5. Lame game where you need to press a button to get a PSP. (I chose the simplest one amongst the three. It's easy! But i failed cause i wasn't concentrating. :< )
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. Haha. So i went on other programmes.
Shopping~
I don't know why i ended up buying stuff from everywhere i go.
Shopping is good for the mind and body. After that i went to buy bubble tea. Wah lao eh damn slow lah. When i reached the front of the queue the person totally foregoed my existence. So i see. It was a new employee. No wonder. But the queue is damn long lah. They retarded or what? Finally. I wasted fifteen minutes of my life queuing up for a $1.80 Chocolate Milk Tea.
So I'm back here again. Have to brush up on my project and prepare for the test tomorrow.
Ciao.

Ecstasy
Hey guys I'm back! With a BANG! Okay, joking. I guess you guys miss me very much(eg. Joniece) and there are people who told me they enjoy reading my blog(eg. Joniece). I came back to blogging again because of someone(yes, Joniece) and partly cause i'm missing it.
Okay. So you'll get to read about MY LIFE again! Cool right? Now you won't find surfing the net b-o-r-i-n-g.
Today is Saturday. BUT, BUT, BUT I have to go to school for this APEL(Applied Principles for Effective Living, in case you are wondering...) thing. It's some kinda a manifestion of CME lah.
Okay. We waited for a long while for everyone to get assembled. We were supposed to report at 8.30am at LT 24. Later, it turned out that we were supposed to go up to the 4th floor, where there is also a LT 24. What the hell. By then it was 9++am. Finally finally it started. Boring presentation by the lecturer. So we waited, like, one and a half hours, and the whole presentation was half an hour. Alright. Cool. After that we were told to write down what we learnt at Camp Radical on a set of worksheets and we could leave after that.
Ok. So i took 23 to TM. Went to Dano, finding Siew Foon tending the shop alone(it was 11++am). Wow she's now going big on bold makeup. Haha. I left after a while, then went to get stuff from Popular for my project. Thereafter I bought bubble tea and went to wait for my mama near the MRT station. Then these two girls suddenly approached me. (Alright here it comes again. I just can't linger at TM.)
Girl A: Hi, can you spare us some time?
I nodded. =)
Girl B(Suzanne): We would like to ask you to...
Me: Do a survey?
A: No, it's just a... yah...
Then they asked me about what i'm doing there and about my school and stuff. Ok, I was free at the moment, so...
Then Suzanne started to take out a small booklet like those you get from hospitals.
A: Can you tell me what is the purpose of a bridge? (There's a picture of a bridge.)
Me: To link from one place to another? (D-U-H.)
A: Yeah, so a bridge is to link you from one place to another.
Suzanne: So can you tell me what will happen if there's no bridge?
Me: Then you won't be able to cross from one place to another.
A: Right...
Then she proceeded to say something else, which made me realise what they were there for. I KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS ARE FROM! Ok, I can't quit by then.
They say that there is a bridge which links us to God, and the bridge is Jesus Christ. They continued on Jesus dying for us and resurrecting three days later. They wanted to make sure i understood everything. Yes I know what is Good Friday and Easter Day. (I was glancing at the road all the time.) Then it was something about sins(yes i know what's a sin), Heaven and Hell, and more quotations from the Bible. Finally the last page was flipped, where there's a prayer Female A read out. Then they asked me if i believe that Jesus really is the bridge from us to God. I said,"Maybe?" Oh my god I wanted to laugh at that moment. In order not to disappoint them, I replied a lot of "Maybes" and "I don't knows". Oh my god it was hilarious. They asked me why i didn't believe in all these and what I didn't believe in. I replied "I don't know" to both questions and tried to smile it off. I should have said,"Hell yeah! I believe in everything you say!" so that they don't pester me. Okay joking.
They told me they are from the youth group of some church near there. Thank goodness the car arrived on time and I exclaimed," Oh my mom's here!" They asked for my number, which i didn't give, but i gave my email instead.
What a joke. I'd never imagine myself in a church. A historical site maybe, but not really going in to pray and stuff. But it was very interesting, to learn about other religions and their beliefs. I just don't like people preaching to me. C'mon, you don't see Buddhists/HIndus/Muslims publicising their religion right?
Disclaimer: I am not a racist, not a religion-ist or whatever.
I got on the car, and we made our way to this plaza. (I forgot the name. Golden something, i guess. It's an old mall with Thai wordings everywhere.) My mother bought tickets from Grassland, and we left a while later.
We arrived at the train station. Oh my god it was damn gorgeous. Imean, I have passed by this place a lot of times, but this is the first time I've been into it. Oh my god it was so historical, so Roman, so artistic. You don't find this anywhere else. Ok I'm gonna compile a list of historical places to go to.
The place was quite old and under-furbished/renovated. But that's what i like about it. I think the train station belongs to Malaysia, cause that's what my mother said. And there are a lot of signages that are in Malay, and a Singaporean place won't be so old~. We took a lot of photos. I went inside and was absolutely overwhelmed. There are real artistic paintings of Adam & Eve lookalikes on the high walls, and there's an huge arch in the middle. Wow cool man. My brother and i took a lot of ARTISTIC photos(艺术照 haha）. My mother bought the train tickets and we went on to explore the place.
Everything's so manual. The carpark ticketing machine is just like those you find on Malaysian highways. Then there is the Ticket Counter. Wow so olden(and the cashiers are Malays too.)
Then I saw the railway tracks. WOOOWWWWOWWWWOWWWW. N-I-C-E. Fabulous.
By the way i saw some TP Design School students there.
Snapped a lot more artistic photos and left. COOL.
My guess is that neither the Malaysian nor the Singaporean authorities are willing to renovate the place, cause it would only benefit the other party in any other way. So it's just left like that, old and beautiful. I like it~. =D
We went to the temple and i played with the dogs. Went to 7-Eleven. Then I spat out Coke(like a fountain, whoosh!) right at the doodstep of the shop, cause i had too much of a big gulp(no pun intended). Anyway I bought the bottle of coke from another convenience store lah. Then i quickly ran away. HARK HARK HARK.
My brother and i bought a frisbie and played with it while my parents dined. Who knows one could have so much fun with a $2 plastic toy?
YAY! What a happy day.
Gotta work very hard on my project tomorrow.
Here's the list.
Cool Historical Places
1. Train Station (Tanjong Pagar)
2. The Forbidden City (But now it's so plastic with the new paint.)
3. Summer Palace
Okay. So you'll get to read about MY LIFE again! Cool right? Now you won't find surfing the net b-o-r-i-n-g.

Confessions
Hey ya!
I'm back! Okay, so i finally got through the gruelling 3 Days 2 Nights orientation camp. This entry is all about it. All details and stuff. So, take your lemonade and watch this.
Day 2
Reported at 8.30am. Sad lah. Packed my backpack only the night before. Wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Guess I'm the only one feeling so in the group.
Started the day. I smsed and smsed and smsed. It's an excuse to not join in their conversations. Ok. So they've already got all their cliques. There's no one alone. They will wait for one another and so and so.
I forgot what happened. I supposed we played games. =)
Met our course carepersons. Hell i was lost. Haha. Eunice told us where to go person by person. And i was the last to be told where the hell i was supposed to meet my careperson. G.R.E.A.T. HAHAHA. I was told to go to Room 4-50. I went up and discovered it was a bunk. So i went around asking for help and nobody could help me. In the end, Hui Zhen(GL) took me to the Admin desk and they called Gary(the guy in my group who's in ADM) to ask him where the ADM people are. Hui Zhen then brought me to the third floor(dammit!) and we coincidentally chanced upon teo ADM seniors. So they brought me into their room.
EVERYONE WAS HAVING PIZZA! Hahahaha. So i went in and sat down at a table. Coincidentally Rahimah was there. I knew it! I've seen her around the school, but i wasn't sure which course she was in. But there was a TP newsletter in which she had an interbiew, ans she said she wanted to take ADM. Okay, so she's there. Wah lao eh. They are so enthu lah. Somehow i was more outgoing with the ADM people.
Ok. 1.25pm, went back to our respective groups.
Evening came. We were supposed to go to Sentosa by ourselves. Our group decided to take public transport. We were supposed to take bus 23 to Boon Keng and take MRT from there, but we missed the bus cause we were waiting for Eunice. Sometimes i think she is trash. She doesn't know how to lead lah. She's always doing shit, making people wait for her and disappearing for the whole day. Whatever. So we waited a long time, watching other groups board bus 69. In the end we were told to take bus 69. Ha. Ha. Ha. Bullshit.
So we got on the bus and alighted at the bus interchange. Walked to the MRT interchange. Oh my god. It had only been a few days earlier i had been walking along this stretch of road.
Got on the train. I just sat alone, opposite the girls who sat together. Woah they are like so chat-table, talking non-stop. I wonder how people can have so many stuff to talk about when they've just got together for one day.
Swtiched to NEL at Outram Park. Alighted at Harbourfront. Then we went to Vivocity. Just when i was wondering why we were going into a shopping mall, we arrived at the fourth floor, and i realised we were supposed to take the monorail from here. So we hopped on, and alighted at Beach Station.
From there we assembled at this Emerald Pavilion and started our games. It was so boring i wanted to sleep. I took every chance that i could sleep to sleep. Hahahaha.
Finally finally the day ended. It was around 1++am. We waited for the buses to come and made our back to TP.
I only got to sleep at 4++am cause of the bitches who bathed in their own sweet time. Come on lah, spare a thought for others. If this were NPCC, three minutes and someone would be banging on your door. Now i miss the times in NPCC. HAHAHA.
Oh no. My handphone's battery is flat. I just watched the number of batteries on the screen drop and drop through the day and now I'm left stranded without the ability to SMS.
Day 3
We went for the Design dance early this morning at the Sports Complex. It's kinda like international dance, with twirls and swirls. I was the guy. Yay. I think i was the reason why two girls besties were broken up. Cause i didn't want to dance with a guy. Hell yeah I'm the motherfucking princess. HAHAHA.
So we danced, and then this Chicky Dance came. Somehow everyone knew how it goes except me. So i just turned when they turned, except that i didn't do the actions. Ok, so it's over, and the group decided to takeaway McD. I didn't, cause i had something on.
During lunch break, I went to the business school. I had a wonderful rendezvous with my love. We drank canned Milo(haha) together. Soon she had to go back to the group and i made my way back to the bunk.
We were called into our respective courses again. The careperson/course manger gave us a talk on the course. Okay i was trying to keep awake and i'm sitting right in front of the screen. Then Moses gave a talk too. Oh my god. I could hardly keep my eyes open.
At night, we had our performances.Oh hell the backstage was damn damn BIG. Really! It's as big as the auditorium itself. Oh my. AWESOME! COOL! We performed our skit. Of course I'm not the main character.
Guess what. We won SECOND! Ok, there were prizes.
Then we proceeded for nightwalk. Not before the in charge, Joseph, told us ghost stories about the campus,or better still, the design school. I was so tired i wasn't scared or frightened a bit. He said that Thursday night is not a good night for design schoo. Alright. Anyway, i realised a lot of people in the school have got mohawk heads, including this Joseph guy.
Okay, so we began our nightwalk. It goes like this. There's a storyline, which is that there is a massacre in Temasek Design School, and we have to find out who's the killer. We have to look for clues on our own.
First we went to a cluster of fallen dustbins. They are those large Sembwaste kinds, and they are painted on for some kinda project by the seniors. One 'ghost' was lying in one of the fallen dustbins. Oh my. The makeup was so damn gorgeous! 'Blood' spewed all over her face and hands. Gary started,"What happened to you?" from behind. Then I started laughing mad. Eunice then shushed, saying something about not laughing about his kind of things.
Damn it was exciting! All those ghosts and dark wanderers. The girls were shrieking like hell while i was laughing like hell. I mean, it was really hilarious. Sometimes the dark wanderers will suddenly fall on the floor and crawl towards us then i would start laughing again. So we went to various stations to see the different ghosts and got clues from them. Wow their acting was good. They didn't laugh or what, but just acted their part.
The nightwalk ended, and we went back to the LT(lecture theatre) to submit our answers. In the end they showed us a video which depicted the actual story of what happened.
Hurray. Time to sleep!
Day 4
Last day. Oh god. It's finally here.
I realised that some of the people in my group are very childish. Childish, not child-like. It may be because we are from different schools or age ranges, but somehow their thinking is not mature like what that of a 16-year-old should be. Like, when someone gets in front of them and they are queuing up, there will be incessant murmuring of "cut queue". Come on, just tell them straight in the face instead of complaining. And those people weren't even cut-queuing. Oh i hate that word. Then on the second night, other girls were moving into our bunk cause there wasn't enough space at the other bunks. The girls are like so kiasu, hurrying to book places with their sleeping bags. One more thing. The girls in my group are so un-rugged and weak. I don't need to describe that.
Anyway, It's the FINAL CLASH today, where all the five schools compete against each other. We got ready and put on our 'makeup'. We had to draw our faces. with camouflage paint(the kind soldiers use). Everyone was given a 'squeeze' of black paint and a 'squeeze' of green paint. Everybody was like two horizontal stripes across the cheek. So i decided to do something different. I was thinking if i should draw a star or vertical stripes. Then Hui Zhen came over to help, and she drew three vertical stripes on each side of my face, plus eyeshadow. G-R-E-E-N. Hahaha. Fun. Some of the seniors were very creative. Pirates, beards and all.
The design school purposely waited until all the schools were settled down before walking into the stadium. So big shot right. We settled down.(There was very little space.) We had to stand up and cheer occasionally, but after a few rounds i gave up because it was hard to move around. Then there were those bloody Malay bitches who kept asking people to stand up and cheer. It's irritating lah. Argh. Makes my blood boil thinking of them. The way they do it. You can't force everyone to be as enthu as you, ok.
Then someone went away for the games and i got more space. In the beginning i was cheering and all, then i started to doze off while standing. So i decided to sit down. Then i started to doze off while sitting down. So i decided to lie my head down on my knees to get a nap. Luckily nodoby really bothered about me. Only one girl was like,"Are you okay?" I think she saw me swaying from side to side in my sleep.
The games were completed, and we made our way to Bedok Reservoir. Regetta 2007. So the dragon-boats raced against each other, the design students cheered like hell(except me who sat half-asleep at the back most of the time), and the cheerleaders went on stage. Oh my. Design students are really high and enthu. If there's any loud music they'll stand up and boogey. Not me. Then they'll cheer like mad. I was so tired of it all. Haha.
HURRAY! It's all over. We made our way back to the school to have a final gathering. Moses and the seniors gave speeches. There were some heartwrenching moments. "You are no longer freshmen. Welcome to Temasek Design School" and stuff. One big family. Then we were told to give a final hug. All the freshies.
AND WE WERE THROWN WITH WATER BOMBS. I was damn soaking wet. The seniors threw down water bombs from the above floors. Ouch. Then it was smelly. I guess it was because we were perspiring.
Then we off to ourselves, and we were told there was a design Jam and Hop later.
I met up with Nicky after taking my stuff, and we went to see the TP Jam and Hop. Oh my god. There wasn't quite a crowd there. So we went to the design Jam, and it hadn't started, so we left TP and made out way to TM. Had dinner, took neoprints and went home.
The tormenting days are over. Oh man. I wasted three days of my life. Sometimes i wonder if i would better enjoy myself if i was more social. But the part of me being more social is anything but possible. Yeah, so...
Hurray.
I'm back! Okay, so i finally got through the gruelling 3 Days 2 Nights orientation camp. This entry is all about it. All details and stuff. So, take your lemonade and watch this.
Day 2
Reported at 8.30am. Sad lah. Packed my backpack only the night before. Wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Guess I'm the only one feeling so in the group.
Started the day. I smsed and smsed and smsed. It's an excuse to not join in their conversations. Ok. So they've already got all their cliques. There's no one alone. They will wait for one another and so and so.
I forgot what happened. I supposed we played games. =)
Met our course carepersons. Hell i was lost. Haha. Eunice told us where to go person by person. And i was the last to be told where the hell i was supposed to meet my careperson. G.R.E.A.T. HAHAHA. I was told to go to Room 4-50. I went up and discovered it was a bunk. So i went around asking for help and nobody could help me. In the end, Hui Zhen(GL) took me to the Admin desk and they called Gary(the guy in my group who's in ADM) to ask him where the ADM people are. Hui Zhen then brought me to the third floor(dammit!) and we coincidentally chanced upon teo ADM seniors. So they brought me into their room.
EVERYONE WAS HAVING PIZZA! Hahahaha. So i went in and sat down at a table. Coincidentally Rahimah was there. I knew it! I've seen her around the school, but i wasn't sure which course she was in. But there was a TP newsletter in which she had an interbiew, ans she said she wanted to take ADM. Okay, so she's there. Wah lao eh. They are so enthu lah. Somehow i was more outgoing with the ADM people.
Ok. 1.25pm, went back to our respective groups.
Evening came. We were supposed to go to Sentosa by ourselves. Our group decided to take public transport. We were supposed to take bus 23 to Boon Keng and take MRT from there, but we missed the bus cause we were waiting for Eunice. Sometimes i think she is trash. She doesn't know how to lead lah. She's always doing shit, making people wait for her and disappearing for the whole day. Whatever. So we waited a long time, watching other groups board bus 69. In the end we were told to take bus 69. Ha. Ha. Ha. Bullshit.
So we got on the bus and alighted at the bus interchange. Walked to the MRT interchange. Oh my god. It had only been a few days earlier i had been walking along this stretch of road.
Got on the train. I just sat alone, opposite the girls who sat together. Woah they are like so chat-table, talking non-stop. I wonder how people can have so many stuff to talk about when they've just got together for one day.
Swtiched to NEL at Outram Park. Alighted at Harbourfront. Then we went to Vivocity. Just when i was wondering why we were going into a shopping mall, we arrived at the fourth floor, and i realised we were supposed to take the monorail from here. So we hopped on, and alighted at Beach Station.
From there we assembled at this Emerald Pavilion and started our games. It was so boring i wanted to sleep. I took every chance that i could sleep to sleep. Hahahaha.
Finally finally the day ended. It was around 1++am. We waited for the buses to come and made our back to TP.
I only got to sleep at 4++am cause of the bitches who bathed in their own sweet time. Come on lah, spare a thought for others. If this were NPCC, three minutes and someone would be banging on your door. Now i miss the times in NPCC. HAHAHA.
Oh no. My handphone's battery is flat. I just watched the number of batteries on the screen drop and drop through the day and now I'm left stranded without the ability to SMS.
Day 3
We went for the Design dance early this morning at the Sports Complex. It's kinda like international dance, with twirls and swirls. I was the guy. Yay. I think i was the reason why two girls besties were broken up. Cause i didn't want to dance with a guy. Hell yeah I'm the motherfucking princess. HAHAHA.
So we danced, and then this Chicky Dance came. Somehow everyone knew how it goes except me. So i just turned when they turned, except that i didn't do the actions. Ok, so it's over, and the group decided to takeaway McD. I didn't, cause i had something on.
During lunch break, I went to the business school. I had a wonderful rendezvous with my love. We drank canned Milo(haha) together. Soon she had to go back to the group and i made my way back to the bunk.
We were called into our respective courses again. The careperson/course manger gave us a talk on the course. Okay i was trying to keep awake and i'm sitting right in front of the screen. Then Moses gave a talk too. Oh my god. I could hardly keep my eyes open.
At night, we had our performances.Oh hell the backstage was damn damn BIG. Really! It's as big as the auditorium itself. Oh my. AWESOME! COOL! We performed our skit. Of course I'm not the main character.
Guess what. We won SECOND! Ok, there were prizes.
Then we proceeded for nightwalk. Not before the in charge, Joseph, told us ghost stories about the campus,or better still, the design school. I was so tired i wasn't scared or frightened a bit. He said that Thursday night is not a good night for design schoo. Alright. Anyway, i realised a lot of people in the school have got mohawk heads, including this Joseph guy.
Okay, so we began our nightwalk. It goes like this. There's a storyline, which is that there is a massacre in Temasek Design School, and we have to find out who's the killer. We have to look for clues on our own.
First we went to a cluster of fallen dustbins. They are those large Sembwaste kinds, and they are painted on for some kinda project by the seniors. One 'ghost' was lying in one of the fallen dustbins. Oh my. The makeup was so damn gorgeous! 'Blood' spewed all over her face and hands. Gary started,"What happened to you?" from behind. Then I started laughing mad. Eunice then shushed, saying something about not laughing about his kind of things.
Damn it was exciting! All those ghosts and dark wanderers. The girls were shrieking like hell while i was laughing like hell. I mean, it was really hilarious. Sometimes the dark wanderers will suddenly fall on the floor and crawl towards us then i would start laughing again. So we went to various stations to see the different ghosts and got clues from them. Wow their acting was good. They didn't laugh or what, but just acted their part.
The nightwalk ended, and we went back to the LT(lecture theatre) to submit our answers. In the end they showed us a video which depicted the actual story of what happened.
Hurray. Time to sleep!
Day 4
Last day. Oh god. It's finally here.
I realised that some of the people in my group are very childish. Childish, not child-like. It may be because we are from different schools or age ranges, but somehow their thinking is not mature like what that of a 16-year-old should be. Like, when someone gets in front of them and they are queuing up, there will be incessant murmuring of "cut queue". Come on, just tell them straight in the face instead of complaining. And those people weren't even cut-queuing. Oh i hate that word. Then on the second night, other girls were moving into our bunk cause there wasn't enough space at the other bunks. The girls are like so kiasu, hurrying to book places with their sleeping bags. One more thing. The girls in my group are so un-rugged and weak. I don't need to describe that.
Anyway, It's the FINAL CLASH today, where all the five schools compete against each other. We got ready and put on our 'makeup'. We had to draw our faces. with camouflage paint(the kind soldiers use). Everyone was given a 'squeeze' of black paint and a 'squeeze' of green paint. Everybody was like two horizontal stripes across the cheek. So i decided to do something different. I was thinking if i should draw a star or vertical stripes. Then Hui Zhen came over to help, and she drew three vertical stripes on each side of my face, plus eyeshadow. G-R-E-E-N. Hahaha. Fun. Some of the seniors were very creative. Pirates, beards and all.
The design school purposely waited until all the schools were settled down before walking into the stadium. So big shot right. We settled down.(There was very little space.) We had to stand up and cheer occasionally, but after a few rounds i gave up because it was hard to move around. Then there were those bloody Malay bitches who kept asking people to stand up and cheer. It's irritating lah. Argh. Makes my blood boil thinking of them. The way they do it. You can't force everyone to be as enthu as you, ok.
Then someone went away for the games and i got more space. In the beginning i was cheering and all, then i started to doze off while standing. So i decided to sit down. Then i started to doze off while sitting down. So i decided to lie my head down on my knees to get a nap. Luckily nodoby really bothered about me. Only one girl was like,"Are you okay?" I think she saw me swaying from side to side in my sleep.
The games were completed, and we made our way to Bedok Reservoir. Regetta 2007. So the dragon-boats raced against each other, the design students cheered like hell(except me who sat half-asleep at the back most of the time), and the cheerleaders went on stage. Oh my. Design students are really high and enthu. If there's any loud music they'll stand up and boogey. Not me. Then they'll cheer like mad. I was so tired of it all. Haha.
HURRAY! It's all over. We made our way back to the school to have a final gathering. Moses and the seniors gave speeches. There were some heartwrenching moments. "You are no longer freshmen. Welcome to Temasek Design School" and stuff. One big family. Then we were told to give a final hug. All the freshies.
AND WE WERE THROWN WITH WATER BOMBS. I was damn soaking wet. The seniors threw down water bombs from the above floors. Ouch. Then it was smelly. I guess it was because we were perspiring.
Then we off to ourselves, and we were told there was a design Jam and Hop later.
I met up with Nicky after taking my stuff, and we went to see the TP Jam and Hop. Oh my god. There wasn't quite a crowd there. So we went to the design Jam, and it hadn't started, so we left TP and made out way to TM. Had dinner, took neoprints and went home.
The tormenting days are over. Oh man. I wasted three days of my life. Sometimes i wonder if i would better enjoy myself if i was more social. But the part of me being more social is anything but possible. Yeah, so...
Hurray.
Tuesday, 17 April 2007
Busted
Ha. Orientation. MY weakest link. I knew i was going to die. Die of antisociality, die of heatstroke, die. Just die.
Ok. So we were supposed to reach there by 9am. My mama fetched me there(lazy lah) and hell i was pretty apprehensive. Ok. So i figured where to report, and so it turns out that it was on the second or third floor. And there were a LOT of people. Damn. I went to the 'booths' and asked the girl there something(i forgot what). Then she told me ADM was another booth. So i went over to ADM booth, and asked the person there. She said registration had not started yet.
Then one guy with a loudspeaker suddenly yelled,"REGISTRATION blah blah blah" I thought i heard "over" or something. Then everyone suddenly started cheering. Oh. Registration starts now. I got in second as i was at the booth at that time. It's good to be late, isn't it?
After registering(my five bucks gone!) someone led us to the auditorium. There were very few people. Waited like 45 minutes for the whole place to fill up(and i didn't notice when it happened). Before that the emcees were like cheering us on. I just ignored them and kept smsing.
Actually there was a girl two seats away from me. We were both using our handphones, and she was like,"What course are you in?" "ADM" "Oh, me too" Then we went back to our own business. It's so stupid. Long empty silence. Then we were told to move up and we went apart.
Got to move up somemore, and sat next to a guy. YAY i got the aisle seat.
The emcees were like fooling around somemore. The guy next to me was like so H~I~G~H~. Hahahaha. He attended the Freshmen Orientation Camp(FOC). Then one of the emcees said "Turn to your right and shake hands with him or her" Ok. So boviously that guy tried to make friends with me. I had no choice but to just go along, shake a hand. Some kinda course I've never heard before.
Finally finally finally the programme started. There were tons of cheers. It was followed by a short(one minute) talk by the CAMP RADICAL chairman. Some guy named David. Then came the talk given by Moses Wong, the Director of TDS. Very very long talk. One hour perhaps. He's a wacky guy. He talks a lot. Then sometimes he would say "Tell the person beside you that you are a winner", "Tell the person beside you that 'This guy(Moses himself) is okay'." So the guy beside me just sort of mumbled these things, like he wanted to turn over to tell me but daren't cause i looked like i was going to beat him up. Great. Don't disturb me.
By then i've already realised there's no connection in the auditorium after several failed sent messages. Sigh. Miss my darling.
Then after the long talk, we went into our groups. I was in this Vader(T) group. Sat in circles and did the self-intro and played some games. I was going to cry. Of boredom. Of irritation. Of all of them. They needed a group name. Somehow 'Toilet' was suggested...
Then we went out.
Break time! YAY! A momentarily release. I sneaked off to the toilet. Nobody noticed me. Then i sneaked to the second floor of this MENSA canteen to grab a sandwich. Ok, i was originally eating there, but i decided to takeout. No way i'm gonna sit there retardedly. I quickly got my stuff and went for a walk. Chatted on the phone with my darling and strolled around the campus. I think it should be the Triangular Garden.
Suddenly this person called me by my name. Oh. Someone from secondary school. Other than her i don't see other familiar faces. Good.
I hid in some corner and took some photos and drank Milo. The group assembled at 1.45pm, and i sneakily joined them from behind. I purposely don't want to see those people.
They are already in groups, in pairs, with their new-found friends. Good. So you'll leave me alone, won't you?
Looked at *our* neoprints.
They really took 'Toilet'. Oh my god.
Thought i saw a friend when we were sitting down. Must be the sun.
Proceeded to games. One involves guessing idioms. They were competing against another group. The guy has to back-carry the blindfolded girl from the starting point to the ending point, where there's a board. Then the girl will draw out the picture as the guy instructs her to do so. The rest of the group members would try to guess the idiom. There were four 'couples' from each group, and our group won. Yeah, cheer somemore. Aren't they tired of this?
The GL(group leader) then suggested that we should change the group name to 'Twiggy'. The supermodel. Once-upon-a-time. She's like so enthu. Those big actions and stuff. She's got a mohawk head.
Water balloons. They were what i saw in the cardboard box. Dammit. Luckily it doesn't involves getting wet. It's just passing the water balloons from cloth to cloth till the end. Two people will stand facing each other, holding a piece of cloth in between them, to pass the balloon. So we were told to stand in two lines. Everyone got into twos quickly, except me and another guy. So he sort of told me,"Let's go to the back" So i followed him. Then he was told to stay there while i went to the front. I was the person to pass the balloons down. Great. I won't need to cooperate with anyone.
Almost everyone in the group was enthu except for me and that guy. I wasn't particularly involved in their discussions/games/cheers/chats. No way. I can't do this. There're so many bitches in this world and i got to meet them all. Ha. What a joke.
It started to rain, and we were called back to the auditorium. Damn i hated it there. Can't sms.
The seniors started to teach us the TP song, complete with hand signals. I didn't do one bit. I didn't even try. Then they taught us the Chicken Dance. Just when i thought things couldn't get worse. Everyone was doing, i think. Except me. All of us were standing up and i was highly exposed. I was in the middle, and there were empty seats in front of me cause the GLs had gone to the stage. Dammit. How unfortunate could it get.
Everyone was crazy and happy, while i just stood there. And the AV people are damn irritating. They keep shooting different people in the audience and it's right there on the screen!. But the part where they did funny things to the emcees was hilarious. Oh yes. One senior was mentioning the Vader cheer at the water balloon station. It was funny, with reference to the famous Hokkien Star Wars video.
Anyway, they did it a few times, then the emcee said,"I know someone is not doing, I won't sabo, but someone is not doing" How come i had i feeling that that someone was referring to me?" Whatever. You can't do anything to me. Fight lah.
Then Moses came in, and said encouraging words, telling us to relax and do what they tell us to do. Cause it won't be that stupid if four hundred over people are doing. If you don't do it, you will look stupid, cause you're the special one. Yeah right. Very persuasive. So i continued to stand there, hoping that my face won't be pasted on the screen. I was paranoid. I searched ofr myself eveytime the picture changes. Is this their way of fun? Yes?
It's basically lame. The whole affair. I don't know what's the purpose of orientation. It disorientates me.
We were released early, thanks to Moses. Good. Get out of this fucking place which contains all the suckers.
Took 15 to another bus stop where there is bus 27. I got up the 27 and sat beside a girl from my group. No seats what. She was sleeping i guess.
Went to CP. So sad that the smoking poster is gone. Bought stuff again and went for dinner with my brother.
Home had never been so appealing.
Oh yes. I bought The Best Damn Thing. It's so damn PINK! And it's all pop. Yeah, Avril said she enjoyed singing upbeat, fast-tempo songs, but this is too much. And it's NC16! What did she do? It's like no big deal with "fuck", "bitch" or "slut" in her lyrics, but i didn't expect her to use it so much in this album. So there're explicit versions of three songs in this album.
I won't deny that her voice and musical style has changed. Honestly I'm pretty upset about it. It's true on the boards. She's morphing into something she said she hated so much.
Sigh. Have to get up even earlier tomorrow. 8.30am to reach there. I'm gonna be late so that there won't be unneccesary conversations/people.
I won't hope for a better day tomorrow. Cause i know there wont be. And i won't try to make it so. I just have to plough through this.
I'm not pessismistic. Yeah. Maybe. In some areas.
Hope i'll still be alive after these four days.
Starting the countdown again. It makes me happier. So.
Three more days.
Yet to pack my stuff. Off to camp tomorrow. So you won't be seeing me anytime now. Wait for another two to three days.
Ok. So we were supposed to reach there by 9am. My mama fetched me there(lazy lah) and hell i was pretty apprehensive. Ok. So i figured where to report, and so it turns out that it was on the second or third floor. And there were a LOT of people. Damn.

Accomplishment
Oh yeah. Shopping day.
We set off early this morning. Firstly to HG Mall to settle some stuff.
Next stop: Orchard. Went shopping at Takashimaya and Wisma Atria. Noep. I was very frugal today. I only bought two bottles of nail polish at Sasa at HG Mall. No clothes today.
Travelled to Bugis. Then we went to dine. High tea. Next we went shopping around Parco, and i introduced Nicky to the blouse from Dano i had recommended her.
Next we went shopping at Bugis Street. We made a pact to buy everything we need for poly today. Had too. Running out of time. Shopped for a long long time.
Got my stuff- Backpack, slippers, pencil case, Converse sneakers(my first! serious!). Yay.
Nicky bought more than i did. I'm so happy for her. Hahahaha.
Great day.
HURRAY!
Oh. Doomsday is tomorrow.

Zeal
First day of my newfound freedom. And i ain't gonna waste it away.
Went out with my brothers. Took the train to Plaza Singapura. Walked to Cathay to but tickets for Mr Bean's Holiday at 1.10pm. Then we went back to PS to have lunch. They should seriously build an underpass to link The Cathay and PS. There's no proper crossing road/bridge/underpass/linkway.
Bought the tickets for the 4pm TMNT show from GV.
We had Indonesian BBQ at the food court. My brother introduced us to it. We had one set each. But we were way to full to finish up everything. What a waste.
Shi Yng called me. Private number, so i thought who it was. When i received the call and heard her sickening voice, I knew what was gonna happen. She's always giving me that sick, pitiful voice when she needs a favour from me.
She had sore eyes, and asked me if i could go back. Of course not. I'm out of that place! What a great time to contract sore eyes. Damn. Solve it yourself.
Later TM Dano called me. Siew Foon said Pooi Fong asked me if i could go back to work one more day. No way! I've got programmes FULLY lined up for the WHOLE day. Damn you.
Ok. So we went to Cathay again. So Mr Bean's Hoilday begun. As usual, for Bean, one thing led to another. He just gets into trouble and more trouble. Some parts were truly entertaining and hilarious. The ending was a HAPPY ENDING. Hahaha.
E2Max was expensive. They had a one-for-one promotion, but it's one hour for one hour, not one person for one person. By the way there's a $2 offer price for tertiary students. So we went to the cyber cafe further down the road. $1 per hour. DOTA rocks my world. I'm getting better. Hahahahahahaha.
Then we went back to PS. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! My childhood fave. Hahaha. It's a good show. It's packed with action complete with a lil' tinge of warm touches. Hahaha.
We bought toys at the Carrefour Atrium Sale. Yeah, i still can't and won't grow up. My lil bro and i bought cars. Mine is $24.90, while his is only $7.90. Difference in size. Mine is F1. His is normal car. I took the last black one on display, later to discover they had new ones at the actual store.
Thereafter we went to AMK by train, where our parents picked us up.
Had dinner and went home.
Sweet.
Ouch. My brother pressed my pimple in the afternoon and now it's inflamed.
Went out with my brothers. Took the train to Plaza Singapura. Walked to Cathay to but tickets for Mr Bean's Holiday at 1.10pm. Then we went back to PS to have lunch. They should seriously build an underpass to link The Cathay and PS. There's no proper crossing road/bridge/underpass/linkway.
Bought the tickets for the 4pm TMNT show from GV.
We had Indonesian BBQ at the food court. My brother introduced us to it. We had one set each. But we were way to full to finish up everything. What a waste.
Shi Yng called me. Private number, so i thought who it was. When i received the call and heard her sickening voice, I knew what was gonna happen. She's always giving me that sick, pitiful voice when she needs a favour from me.
She had sore eyes, and asked me if i could go back. Of course not. I'm out of that place! What a great time to contract sore eyes. Damn. Solve it yourself.
Later TM Dano called me. Siew Foon said Pooi Fong asked me if i could go back to work one more day. No way! I've got programmes FULLY lined up for the WHOLE day. Damn you.
Ok. So we went to Cathay again. So Mr Bean's Hoilday begun. As usual, for Bean, one thing led to another. He just gets into trouble and more trouble. Some parts were truly entertaining and hilarious. The ending was a HAPPY ENDING. Hahaha.
E2Max was expensive. They had a one-for-one promotion, but it's one hour for one hour, not one person for one person. By the way there's a $2 offer price for tertiary students. So we went to the cyber cafe further down the road. $1 per hour. DOTA rocks my world. I'm getting better. Hahahahahahaha.

Yearn
Last day. But it just doesn't seems like THE Last Day. Somehow.
I wrote "Bye bye Dano!" in the timetable under my row.
Siew Foon went out to buy lunch, and bought an anklet for me from Sinma. Oh. So touched. Hahaha. Could it be cause it's my last day?
I went out for lunch-er, actually i didn't eat-and went shopping. I won't ever come back to TM. No way. So i shall buy everything i wanted to from here today.
I bought chocolates from Chocolat World for them. Hell it's expensive. i got six and it was already $7+++. Luckily i had looked up at the weighing machine. Quite nice but nothing much special.
Bye Dano.
I overslept on the bus and alighted at the stop that is one stop further than mine. Luckily i woke up in time. I thought there were still a few stops before my stop.
ZeRo days. Bye to misery. Hi to freedom.

Vying for Everything
Why can't you
Stop competing?
You want everything
That you see others with.
Why are you
Vying with me?
For the number of friends you have
For the boxes of makeup in your wardrobe
For the pieces of branded stuff you own?
You're vying with me for the top spot.
Why are you vying with me
For everything?
Everything that i want.
Everything that i have.
You can have all that you want.
You're jealous.
You're greedy.
I can give it all to you.
You're pathetic.
Find some life of your own.

Walked around TM cause i was early for work. I need to buy pants for orientation. Black, 3/4, baggy pants. So i went to ask around at the interchange shops. I got one pair from CK. Can't try, though. Bought Elle magazine cause i like the cover-RED!
1pm. Went for work.
I went to the bank. Last time. YAY! It was raining. Never mind. I just walked through the drizzle. Long queue again. Wait, wait, wait. They didn't have coins anymore, so i changed the fifty dollar note to five dollar notes.
I was waiting for the traffic light at the road leading back to Century Square. The green man appeared, and everyone moved. I could see everyone on the opposite crossing the road except for a middle-aged woman. She had short hair and looked like your typical auntie. She looked flustered. Apparently i was the first to reach the other side of the road. The woman suddenly 'attacked' me.
Woman: Excuse me. (She was bringing her arms around me but not touching me yet.)
Me: Yes? (Ok. Road directions, yeah?)
Woman: Canyoulendmetendollarsineeditformyfatherihavenomoneycanyouhelpme
No typo error. She was babbling strings of sentences and this is what i barely heard.
Me(shocked): Sorry. (And i made to leave.)
Then she started grabbing my arms and pleading me. I was so oh my god. I had to push my way past her. I quickly walked away. Looking back, i saw her stopping other people. Oh my god. I didn't know why this happened. There are three possibilities:
1. She's really in need for money.
2. She's a con.
3. She's bonkers.
I don't think she's the last two options. But I couldn't help her even if i wanted. I had no cash.
So i went back to the shop.
Nothing interesting happened. We chatted about ghosts.
Went for break. Walked in circles at Isetan. I love GOLD.
Now i know they don't deduct salary for being late, for unconfirmed staff. Phew.
Ran errands for Foon. Bought her sausages from Cold Storage. I got a McFlurry for myself. So i sat there, shook my leg, and ate.
Shi Yng went home early. We closed shop at 10pm.
Time flies when you aren't enjoying yourself.
