The world's weirdest cases
From the man who sued God to the man who sued TV for making his wife fat, people turn to lawyers for the strangest things

by Gary Slapper
from Times, 05 Nov 07

A meticulous collector of amusing and curious anecdotes from the world of law, Professor Gary Slapper's Case Notes column has long been a staple of The Times' Law section. From next week, his collection of legal oddities will be on display in a new column, Weird Cases. As a taster, we asked him to select 20 of his favourite bizarre disputes, prosecutions and lawsuits from the archive.

1. In 2004, Timothy Dumouchel, from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin sued a television company for making his wife fat and transforming his children into “lazy channel surfers”. He said: “I believe the reason I smoke and drink every day and my wife is overweight is because we watched the TV everyday for the last four years”. The case kept at least two of America’s then 1,058,662 lawyers occupied for a while but the case did not go to the Supreme Court.

2. In 2005, a Brazilian woman sued her partner for failing to give her orgasms. The 31-year old woman from Jundiai asserted in her case that her 38-year old partner routinely ended sexual intercourse after he reached an orgasm. After a promising start the action ended in something of an anticlimax for the claimant when her case was rejected.

3. In 2004, a German lawyer, Dr Juergen Graefe, acted for an elderly pensioner from St Augustin, near Bonn, who was sent a tax demand for €287 million, even though the woman’s income was only €17,000. Dr Graefe fixed the problem with one standard letter to the authorities, but as German law entitles him to calculate his fee based on the amount of the reduction he obtained, his fee came to €440,234 (£308,000). It will be met by the state. There is no evidence that he pushed his luck by writing a thank-you letter.

Weirdest workplace disputes

Last week, the Employment Appeal Tribunal celebrated its 30th anniversary. We marked the occasion by trawling the archives and dusting off some of the more colourful UK employment disputes from the past few years.

4. In 1972, at Wakefield Crown Court in Yorkshire, Reginald Sedgwick was prosecuted for stealing Cleckheaton railway station. The defendant, a demolition contractor, was alleged to have destroyed the disused stone building and cleared the site of 24 tons of track with dishonest intentions. He admitted the deed, explained that it was done for an untraced third party, and his lawyer demolished the prosecution’s case, securing an acquittal.

5. In 2005, the Massachusetts Appeals Court was asked to rule on when a sexual technique was dangerous. Early one morning, a man and woman in a long-term relationship were engaged in consensual intercourse. During the passionate event, and, without the man’s consent, the woman suddenly manoeuvred herself in a way that caused him to suffer a penile fracture. Emergency surgery was required. The court ruled that while “reckless” sexual conduct may be actionable, “merely negligent” conduct was not. It dismissed the man’s case.

6. In 2005, Marina Bai, a Russian astrologer, sued NASA for £165 million for “disrupting the balance of the universe”. She claimed that the space agency’s Deep Impact space probe, which was due to hit a comet later that year to harvest material from the explosion, was a “terrorist act”. A Moscow court accepted Russian jurisdiction to hear the claim but it was eventually rejected.

7. In 2007, a court in India was asked to decide whether a vibrating condom is a contraceptive or a sex toy. The condoms contain a battery-operated device, and, for the avoidance of doubt, are marketed as “Crezendo”. Opponents argue it’s a sex toy and thus unlawful in India, whereas the manufacturer says it’s a contraceptive and promotional of public health.

8. In 2006, a young man from Jiaxing, near Shanghai, found himself in legal trouble after failing to take advice before putting his soul up for sale on an online auction site. The posting was eventually removed by the auctioneer and the seller was told that the advert would be reinstated only if he could produce written permission to sell his soul from “a higher authority”.

9. In 2004, Frank D’Alessandro, a court official in New York, sued the city for serious injuries that he sustained when a toilet he was sitting on exploded leaving him in a pile of porcelain. He claimed $5 million compensation. Reflecting on the demanding physical therapy in which he must now engage every morning before work, D’Alessandro declared: “It’s a pain in the ass to do all this stuff.”

10. A Las Vegas law prohibiting strippers from fondling customers during lap dances was ruled by the Nevada Supreme Court in 2006 to be valid. The issue was whether the local law was unconstitutionally vague and therefore unenforceable. The law states that “no attendant or server shall fondle or caress any patron” with intent to arouse him. Lawyers discussed at length whether grinding (of dancers’ bottoms into men’s laps) amounted to a fondle or caress, and whether the brushing of breast into patrons’ faces was prohibited conduct. The local law was declared valid because the court thought enforcers would be able to know a fondle or caress if they saw one.

11. In 1964, the Exchequer Court of Canada was asked to decide whether the expenses of running a “call girl” business in Vancouver were deductible from gross income for the purposes of income tax. The madam and seven call girls were all convicted and imprisoned. And then taxed. Claims for tax deductions in respect of the ordinary parts of the business, such as phone bills, were allowed. Other types of expenses were disallowed because the business couldn’t prove them with receipts, including $2000 for liquor for local officials and $1000 paid to "certain men possessed of physical strength and some guile, which they exercised when set to extricate a girl from difficulties".

12. In a notorious case heard by Baron Huddleston in November 1884, Captain Thomas Dudley and Edwin Stephens were prosecuted for the murder of a cabin boy, Richard Parker. When the yacht they were sailing from Southampton to Sydney capsized, they found themselves on a dinghy 1,600 miles from shore. After 20 days adrift, they killed Parker, eating his liver and drinking his blood to survive. They were rescued four days later by a German vessel and were convicted of murder at Exeter Assizes, although their death sentences were later commuted to six months imprisonment without hard labour. Their defence of “necessity” was rejected.

13. Cathy McGowan, 26, was overjoyed when a DJ on Radio Buxton told her that she had correctly answered a quiz question and had won the competition prize: a Renault Clio. Ecstasy collapsed into despair, however, when she arrived at the radio station and was presented with a 4-inch model of the car. In 2001, she sued and a judge at Derby County Court ruled that the now defunct station in Derbyshire had entered into a legally binding contract with Miss McGowan and ordered its owners to pay £8,000 for the real vehicle.

14. In 2005, Pavel M., a Romanian prisoner serving 20 years for murder, sued God, founding his claim in contract. He argued that his baptism was an agreement between him and God under which, in exchange for value such as prayer, God would keep him out of trouble..

15. In May, 2004 in Connecticut, Heather Specyalski was charged with the homicide of Neil Esposito. He was thrown from a car that prosecutors said was being driven by Specyalski when it spun out of control and crashed. The defendant argued that she couldn’t have been driving because she was in the passenger seat performing oral sex on Esposito, whom she alleged was at the wheel. Esposito was found with his trousers down but prosecutors argue this could have been because he was “mooning” or urinating out of the car window while in the passenger seat. The jury acquitted Specyalski of manslaughter, sparing her a possible 25-year prison sentence.

16. Sentencing a young woman at the Magistrates’ Court in Port Adelaide, Australia, in 2003, a magistrate said:

“You’re a druggie and you’ll die in the gutter. That’s your choice... I don’t believe in that social worker crap. You abuse your mother and cause her pain. You can choose to be who you are. You can go to work. Seven million of us do it whilst fourteen million like you sit at home watching Days of Our Lives smoking your crack pipes and using needles and I’m sick of you sucking us dry”.

He then concluded:

“It’s your choice to be a junkie and die in the gutter. No one gives a shit, but you’re going to kill that woman who is your mother, damn you to death.”

He gave the woman a prison sentence, unaware that that was unlawful in the type of case in question. Her appeal was successful.

17. In 1874, Francis Evans Cornish, while acting as a magistrate in Winnipeg, Canada, had to try himself on a charge of being drunk in public. He convicted himself and fined himself five dollars with costs. But then he stated for the record: “Francis Evans Cornish, taking into consideration past good behaviour, your fine is remitted”.

18. In 1980, Lord Justice Ormrod, Lord Justice Dunn and Mr Justice Arnold ruled in the UK’s Court of Appeal that a wife from Basingstoke who rationed sex with her husband to once a week was behaving reasonably. Lord Hailsham later revealed that the ruling had provoked some newspapers to try to interview the wives of all the judges in the case.

19. A father from Zhengzhou, in China, was refused legal permission to name his son “@” after the keyboard character. Permission was declined on the legal basis that all names must be capable of being translated into Mandarin.

20. In September, 2004, Judge A K M Patabendige, in Walasmulla, Sri Lanka, jailed a man for a year for yawning in court. N V P Ajith, a defendant in a criminal case, stretched out and yawned in a way that so infuriated the judge, the punishment for contempt was immediate.

hello peeps. here's some more craziness to de-stress ur stressful uni/ns day:

BLAMESTORMING. Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

SEAGULL MANAGER. A manager, who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.

ASSMOSIS. The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

SALMON DAY. The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.

CUBE FARM. An office filled with cubicles.

PRAIRIE DOGGING. When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on (This also applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.)

SITCOMs. Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids or start a "home business".

SINBAD. single working girls. Single income, no boyfriend and desperate.

STRESS PUPPY. A person who seems to thrive on being stressed out and whiny.

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE. The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

ADMINISPHERE. The rarefied organisational layers beginning just above the rank and file. Decisions that fall from the "adminisphere" are often profoundly inappropriate or irrelevant to the problems they were designed to solve. This is often affiliated with the dreaded "administrivia" - needless paperwork and processes.

404. Someone who's clueless. From the World Wide Web error message "404 Not Found," meaning that the requested document could not be located.

OHNOSECOND. That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake (e.g. you've hit 'reply all')

GOING FOR A McSHIT. Entering a fast food restaurant with no intention of buying food, you're just going to the bog. If challenged by a pimply staff member, your declaration to them that you'll buy their food afterwards is known as a McShit with Lies.

AEROPLANE BLONDE. One who has bleached/dyed her hair but still has a 'black box'.

AUSSIE KISS. Similar to a French Kiss, but given down under.

BEER COAT. The invisible but warm coat worn when walking home after a booze cruise at 3am.

BEER COMPASS. The invisible device that ensures your safe arrival home after booze cruise, even though you're too drunk to remember where you live, how you got here, and where you've come from.

GREYHOUND. A very short skirt, only an inch from the hare.

MILLENNIUM DOMES. The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from the outside, but there's actually naught in there worth seeing.

TESTICULATING. Waving your arms around and talking Bollocks

MONKEY BATH . A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go:"Oo!Oo!Oo! Aa!Aa!Aa!".

MYSTERY BUS. The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the toilet after your 10th pint, and whisks away all the unattractive people so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in.

MYSTERY TAXI. The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake up, whisks away the stunner you slept with, and leaves a 10-Pinter in your bed instead.

PICASSO BUM. A woman whose knickers are too small for her, so she looks like she's got four buttocks

SALAD DODGER. An excellent phrase for an overweight person

SWAMP-DONKEY A deeply unattractive person

TART FUEL. Bottled premixed spirits, regularly consumed by young women

Salty Hearts
By Andrietta Jade

Prologue

The house by the sea seemed even more stately and ancient than it actually was on that blustery, wind-tossed day in early November. Perhaps a quarter moreso, or even 35%; such figures mattered little to Patricia Petalbottom, who knew only that the devastation in her heart was such that it created the mental impression of a house by the sea that was 1.4 times the norm, allowing for minor fluctuations of less than .1 due to brief moments of contentment brought upon by skipping daintily across a wooded meadow or ordering a servant about. Patricia turned her bright blue eyes to the vast expanse of the ocean, looking to the horizon for a sign of the man whom she once had loved.

He was not there, so she went back inside, feeling a bit silly about the whole thing.

Chapter One

Dark clouds threatened to overtake the train station on the northwest corner of the village, two blocks from Madame Trusslestone's Emporium of Large Frilly Bonnets, where Patricia Petalbottom was trying on such headgear as was available and frilly enough to suit her tastes. A hat with a large, white flower at the rim had caught her attention, and she was at that moment adjusting it upon her auburn locks, watching herself in the mirror as she turned her head from side to side, then raising her petite chin into the air to check for protruding nasal hairs.

"I shall take this one, this one, this one, and this one," said Patricia haughtily, indicating with her dainty pinky finger the corresponding bonnets, "and I shall make an offer upon the pink one in the corner if you can get some frill placed around the center."

At just that moment, Seamus O'Reilly, a conductor from the station, burst in through the open shop door, his face darkened with ash and his shoulder bleeding.

"Help! Please, come and help, there has been a terrible accident at the train station!"

Patricia turned, wide-eyed; her father was to be arriving at the station that noon.

"What has happened?"she cried.

Seamus paused for a second, furrowed his brow, looked at the ceiling, then back to Patricia.

"I dunno," he said.

Chapter Two

Patricia hurried, as fast as was possible while still maintaining adequate daintiness, to the station, where an accident of some sort had indeed happened or perhaps was still in-process, either one. Smoke was in the air and crowds of people ran in all directions in a panic, fleeing flames, or possibly dodging pieces of a crumbling ceiling, or maybe an overturned crate of live snakes.

"Father! Father!"cried Patricia as she strode, horror-stricken, amongst the debris or whatever resulting from the accident. It was probably a train wreck. Yes, the debris of a train wreck.

"Patricia!" came the familiar voice of her father from within an overturned passenger car. "Please get help! I am trapped beneath a pilon, and if I am not rescued in mere seconds, I shall be crushed to death!"

Despair overwhelmed Patricia and her heart sank in her breast; there was not one in this town who could save her father from his fate in time, all the menfolk of the village being somewhat slight of build and given easily to back injuries. All that was within her power to do was to shout words of comfort to him from across the platform.

"Father, know that I love you and shall never forget what a kind and wonderful man you always were to me!"

"I told you to go get help, are you deaf, girl?" came the reply.

"I hope that you find a peace and comfort in death that was not yours in life, and I offer a prayer that you will look down upon me one day and know that I have made you proud as your daughter!"

"AAAAH!"

Just then, a great, brawny figure appeared standing atop the overturned car; his hair was dark, his features chiseled. He paused dramatically there for a second, where Patricia also took notice of his muscular arms and jutting jaw line, then he dropped into the car and, with a mighty grunt of effort, emerged a few seconds later dragging Patricia's father behind him.

The panicked crowd grew silent as the man carried Mr. Petalbottom across the platform. He drew close to Patricia, stooping low to place her father on the ground, and as he rose, their eyes met. Patricia had never seen eyes like these, so different from her beloved Paul's. This man's eyes were dark, and deep; they seemed to speak of places exciting and little-known, of adventures and far-off lands...

And yet his eyes were also kind, and his face glowed with a warmth that would seem uncharacteristic of a wanderer or vagabond; who was he, this man who had just entered her life? As she stared deeply into his eyes, she knew that whatever her feelings, she must find out.

"Ow," said her father.

"Oh, daddy," she said, breaking the glance to help her father to his feet. "Are you all right?"

"Yes, I do seem to be," he replied, dusting himself off. "I owe you a great debt, stranger, for saving me from that fire."

"Train wreck," said the stranger.

"Right, that."

Patricia walked to her father's side.

"What is your name, sir?" she asked.

"I am Lance Chindivit," he said, turning to face her fully. "I was on the train in another car, traveling the countryside when this horrible accident occurred. Alas, I have lost all of my luggage, for it was all destroyed in the wreck, all my clothes and personal effects, indeed, I have even lost my shirt, which has left my muscular chest and biceps exposed, posing a danger to the delicate sensibilities of the women of this town."

"For your courage, I shall suffer the indignity," said Patricia, dutifully suffering along with the great mass of women in the crowd. At length, Mr. Petalbottom cleared his throat and spoke.

"Lance, come with us, we will gladly put you up until we can find replacement for your luggage. It is the least we can do, after all, for one who has saved my life. Isn't that right, Patricia?"

Patricia appeared lost in thought, though noticeably in the direction of Lance's muscular torso. Finally she came to, and the three rode a carriage to the Petalbottom estate.

Chapter Three

The day passed without great incident as Lance was settled into his temporary quarters in the Petalbottom house, excepting the twenty minutes spent explaining to him the workings of the indoor plumbing. A fine dinner was had at five O'clock, and all three retired to separate environs thereafter.

At a quarter of six, Patricia strode down the West hallway, her nose in a copy of Elvira Woolentrousers' Prim and Proper Things, Volume 5, and had just finished up with an enlightening chapter on the mystical relationship between crumpets and doilies when she saw a great, brawny shadow flit along the railing outside on the balcony. Patricia, having little else of interest to do, decided to investigate.

A gust of warm ocean air met her face as she parted the curtain to the balcony's left entrance. The evening sky was fading from red to purple, the sun reflected large and orange far out on the water's surface. At the center, peering out upon this picturesque view, was Lance. Patricia drew closer to him, and saw that his head was bent downward, a look of concentration and thoughtfulness on his windswept face.

"Mr. Chindivit?"

"Ah, Miss Petalbottom," Lance replied, keeping his head bowed. "How nice of you to join me. Did you wish to speak to me?"

"I am merely out to get some air," Patricia said quickly. She felt her pulse increase, and tinges of pink bloomed upon her high cheeks. "I often come out on the balcony in the evening; I like to watch the waves splashing upon the shore."

Lance did not move; his eyes were still fixed below. There was silence for several moments as they both stood framed against the sunset. At length, Patricia spoke again.

"Why do you watch the sea, Lance?" Patricia asked.

"Humh?" Lance said, looking up at last. "Oh, I wasn't watching the sea -- there's this turtle on a rock down below, and I'm trying to spit on it."

Patricia's eyes traced the sparkling horizon, and spoke:

"I once knew a man who watched the sea quite a lot. It was his obsession. He lived and breathed the mariner's way of life, and when the chance finally came for him to sail across the ocean, he took it, oh yes. The last thing he ever said to me..." Patricia's eyes glistened as they followed an orange-tinged cloud, "'I shall come back for you, Patricia. I shall return.'"

"Um-hunh?" Lance replied, trying desperately to aim a two-foot streamer of drool swinging from his tongue.

Patricia's daintily-gloved hand swung forward violently and caught Lance full on the cheek. He staggered to his feet, where his face was met directly by an extremely angry Patricia; He watched in stunned silence as her green eyes narrowed to slits and her mouth opened in rage.

"Curse you, Lance Chindivit, you are nothing like Paul! You can never be like Paul was! How dare you try to take his place!"

Lance stared blankly.

"I could never love you, Lance Chindivit! I never want to see you again!"

With that, Patricia turned and fled, tears in her eyes, back through the hallway, leaving Lance alone with a puzzled expression on his face and a fairly substantial streamer of drool in his hair.

Chapter Four

The events of the previous evening were still fresh in Lance's mind as he awoke in the large, fluffy bed in the Petalbottom guest room. He rose and crossed the floor where shafts of morning sunlight were streaming in, then walked out the door. On the far end of the hall, he saw Mr. Petalbottom standing with a cup of tea.

"Ah, good morning," said Mr. Petalbottom.

"Good morning," replied Lance.

"Come and join me for some breakfast, my good fellow," said Mr. Petalbottom, "I'm nowhere near the cook my wife was, but I manage."

Lance thought this was a fine idea and walked with Mr. Petalbottom to the dining room, where many dishes prepared to varying degrees of "burnt" awaited them. Lance helped himself to a slice of charred ham, brittle eggs and blackened orange juice while Mr. Petalbottom busied himself across the room trying desperately to put a pile of flapjacks out before they caught the drapery on fire. At length, the old Petalbottom spoke.

"Lance," he said, "I have always prided myself on being able to tell a great deal about people at a glance. Indeed, I can tell many things about you right now."

"Indeed?" said Lance, around a mouthful of crumbling egg, "Do tell me."

"I can see that you have had a difficult and lonely life, Lance, that you are used to hard work and toil. I see also that something is weighing heavily on your mind right now, and unless I miss my guess, it has to do with my daughter, Patricia. Also, you apparently sleep in the nude."

Lance quickly and strategically affixed a tea cozy to himself, then turned to Mr. Petalbottom.

"You are perceptive, sir," he said.

"Lance," Mr. Petalbottom began, pushing his spectacles up upon his thin nose, "It may do you well to learn some things about Patricia, things which perhaps she has kept hidden from even herself."

"What do you mean?"asked Lance.

"I don't know," replied Mr. Petalbottom, "The wording just sounded good in my head. The fact of the matter is, Patricia was once engaged to be married, three years ago, to a good man named Paul McThrowawaugh. Paul was a sailor for the local port, and a fine one at that. He and Patricia were planning to marry after he had returned from a voyage to Europe... but he never returned.

"Since he left, Patricia has kept up hope that Paul would one day come home, but it does no good to take false hope as one's only refuge. She needs to be reminded that she is still alive, Mr. Chindivit, and that love has not ended with Paul. It grieves me to see her standing alone upon the balcony, waiting for a man who will never return."

"Is he still in Europe?"asked Lance. Mr. Petalbottom gave him a long look.

"He is dead."

Lance looked thoughtful.

"So she's available, then," he said.

Chapter Five

Patricia had kept mostly to herself and her thoughts since the episode on the balcony, and neither her father nor Lance had seen much of her on that second day.

She was now walking along the quiet shore at mid-afternoon, barefoot, feeling the soft, cool sand on her toes, and also occasional fiddler crabs, which caused her to momentarily scream and bat at herself as though she were being attacked by hundreds of spiders, but otherwise did not remove the somber mood of the day.

Patricia's thoughts were many, and indeed a few points higher on the complexity scale than her dainty mind was used to handling. On the one hand, she felt that she owed more to Paul and the love they once shared than to give up on him completely, yet on the other, this man, Lance, was stirring in her emotions that she had not felt in years; was it infatuation, self-delusion? Or was she in fact falling in love?

"No, no," said Patricia to herself, "I cannot possibly be falling in love with this Lance Chindivit."

"Drat," said Lance, who had been following her. Patricia spun around quickly, her eyes wide.

"You!" she cried, "What are you doing here?"

"I was... out... collecting.... um... bugs," said Lance, thinking fast.

Patricia stooped down, grabbed a fiddler crab and tossed it directly at Lance's face, whereupon it clamped down on his nose and sent him thrashing and wailing away back towards the house. Patricia herself ran off, sobbing, towards the sheer cliffs that met the ocean on the south edge of the land. In the distance, thunder rumbled.

A great, dark cloud had appeared on the horizon and was spreading, illuminated in flashes by bolts of lightning on the ocean's surface. The wind, which had been moving at a moderate breeze for most of the day, was now gusting and whirling with near-hurricane force. As Patricia ran and ran, half-blinded by tears, it began to rain heavily. The rain poured down through fissures in the earth, forcing to the surface a number of angry poisonous vipers, which slithered menacingly in search of something to bite. Down in the crashing waters below, a great horde of man-eating sharks were working themselves into a frenzy.

Lightning flashed again, starting a stampede in a herd of nearby cattle. As they raced madly towards the cliffs Patricia was running upon, they crashed headlong into a smallish traveling circus, releasing four lions, a bear, a wildebeest, and a skinny, hairy fellow with bulging eyes who had been dubbed "The Wild Man."

Lance had just pried the crab from his nasal portions when it occurred to him that something was not right in the nearby lands, and indeed, his fears were confirmed when he heard the frightened cries of Patricia, who had distinctly come down from that whole running/sobbing rush. At a great, brawny pace he set out through the rain, faster and faster, hoping against hope that he would reach her in time.

And then, through the pounding rain he saw her, standing on the edge of the cliff, held at bay by hissing snakes, high above a group of man-eating sharks, being chased by stampeding cattle, lions, a bear, a wildebeest, and a skinny, hairy fellow. Lance steeled himself for a great battle.

A great battle ensued.

After that, Lance started walking back to the house, carrying Patricia in his arms.

"Did you see where I started twisting the snakes into knots, and then I wrestled the cows?"

"Yes, yes," Patricia sighed lovingly in Lance's strong arms, "You were magnificent, Lance."

"And where I tossed the lions down to the sharks, and I beat up the bear?"

"Oh, Lance," Patricia cooed, her head resting against his chest, "I have been a silly, foolish girl. I love you, Lance Chindivit, and ever I shall."

"And how about that skinny guy? Whew, daisy!"

And with that, Patricia threw her arms around Lance's muscular neck in an extremely passionate embrace, and they then shared a fairly mild and tepid peck on the cheek, on account of they had just become aware that Patricia's father had just walked into viewing range. He smiled at the two of them.

"It does my heart good to see you finally with a --" he began, when suddenly Lance cut him off.

"Look, a train!" He said.

And with that, Mr. Petalbottom turned his head and Lance and Patricia shared the first of many passionate kisses, and a love that would never die, although just as a precaution Lance was quickly banned from making any trips to Europe.

Politically Correct Little Red Riding Hood
- James Finn Garner from Politically Correct Bedtime Stories

There once was a young person named Little Red Riding Hood who lived on the edge of a large forest full of endangered owls and rare plants that would probably provide a cure for cancer if only someone took the time to study them.

Red Riding Hood lived with a nurture giver whom she sometimes referred to as "mother", although she didn't mean to imply by this term that she would have thought less of the person if a close biological link did not in fact exist.

Nor did she intend to denigrate the equal value of nontraditional households, although she was sorry if this was the impression conveyed.

One day her mother asked her to take a basket of organically grown fruit and mineral water to her grandmother's house.

"But mother, won't this be stealing work from the unionized people who have struggled for years to earn the right to carry all packages between various people in the woods?"

Red Riding Hood's mother assured her that she had called the union boss and gotten a special compassionate mission exemption form.

"But mother, aren't you oppressing me by ordering me to do this?"

Red Riding Hood's mother pointed out that it was impossible for women to oppress each other, since all women were equally oppressed until all women were free."

But mother, then shouldn't you have my brother carry the basket, since he's an oppressor, and should learn what it's like to be oppressed?"

And Red Riding Hood's mother explained that her brother was attending a special rally for animal rights, and besides, this wasn't stereotypical women's work, but an empowering deed that would help engender a feeling of community."

But won't I be oppressing Grandma, by implying that she's sick and hence unable to independently further her own selfhood?"

But Red Riding Hood's mother explained that her grandmother wasn't actually sick or incapacitated or mentally handicapped in any way, although that was not to imply that any of these conditions were inferior to what some people called "health".

Thus Red Riding Hood felt that she could get behind the idea of delivering the basket to her grandmother, and so she set off.Many people believed that the forest was a foreboding and dangerous place, but Red Riding Hood knew that this was an irrational fear based on cultural paradigms instilled by a patriarchal society that regarded the natural world as an exploitable resource, and hence believed that natural predators were in fact intolerable competitors.

Other people avoided the woods for fear of thieves and deviants, but Red Riding Hood felt that in a truly classless society all marginalized peoples would be able to "come out" of the woods and be accepted as valid lifestyle role models.

On her way to Grandma's house, Red Riding Hood passed a woodchopper, and wandered off the path, in order to examine some flowers.

She was startled to find herself standing before a Wolf, who asked her what was in her basket.

Red Riding Hood's teacher had warned her never to talk to strangers, but she was confident in taking control of her own budding sexuality, and chose to dialogue with the Wolf.

She replied, "I am taking my Grandmother some healthful snacks in a gesture of solidarity."

The Wolf said, "You know, my dear, it isn't safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone."

Red Riding Hood said, "I find your sexist remark offensive in the extreme, but I will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress of which has caused you to develop an alternative and yet entirely valid worldview. Now, if you'll excuse me, I would prefer to be on my way."

Red Riding Hood returned to the main path, and proceeded towards her Grandmother's house.

But because his status outside society had freed him from slavish adherence to linear, Western-style thought, the Wolf knew of a quicker route to Grandma's house.

He burst into the house and ate Grandma, a course of action affirmative of his nature as a predator. Then, unhampered by rigid, traditionalist gender role notions, he put on Grandma's nightclothes, crawled under the bedclothes, and awaited developments.Red Riding Hood entered the cottage and said,"Grandma, I have brought you some cruelty free snacks to salute you in your role of wise and nurturing matriarch."

The Wolf said softly "Come closer, child, so that I might see you."Red Riding Hood said, "Goddess! Grandma, what big eyes you have!"

"You forget that I am optically challenged.""And Grandma, what an enormous, what a fine nose you have."

"Naturally, I could have had it fixed to help my acting career, but I didn't give in to such societal pressures, my child."

"And Grandma, what very big, sharp teeth you have!"

The Wolf could not take any more of these racist slurs, and, in a reaction appropriate for his accustomed milieu, he leaped out of bed, grabbed Little Red Riding Hood, and opened his jaws so wide that she could see her poor Grandmother cowering in his belly."Aren't you forgetting something?"

Red Riding Hood bravely shouted. "You must request my permission before proceeding to a new level of intimacy!"

The Wolf was so startled by this statement that he loosened his grasp on her.

At the same time, the woodchopper burst into the cottage, brandishing an ax."Hands off!" cried the woodchopper.

"And what do you think you're doing?" cried Little Red Riding Hood.

"If I let you help me now, I would be expressing a lack of confidence in my own abilities, which would lead to poor self esteem and lower achievement scores on college entrance exams."

"Last chance, sister! Get your hands off that endangered species! This is an FBI sting!" screamed the woodchopper, and when Little Red Riding Hood nonetheless made a sudden motion, he sliced off her head.

"Thank goodness you got here in time," said the Wolf. "The brat and her grandmother lured me in here. I thought I was a goner."

"No, I think I'm the real victim, here," said the woodchopper.

"I've been dealing with my anger ever since I saw her picking those protected flowers earlier. And now I'm going to have such a trauma. Do you have any aspirin?"

"Sure," said the Wolf.

"Thanks."

"I feel your pain," said the Wolf, and he patted the woodchopper on his firm, well padded back, gave a little belch, and said, "Do you have any Maalox?"

On Jan 1st, 2007, something sad happened.

I stood at the same old busstop, waving for the same old bus. After boarding 67, i nonchalantly tapped my ezlink card, just has how i've done umpteenth times before.

"Beep"

Just "Beep".

Not "Beep Beep".

Or "Beep Beep Beep Beep".

Just "Beep".

After alighting, I tapped my card on the exit machine.

"Beep"

Only one pathetic "Beep" and it cost me a dollar plus.

Suddenly i wanted to be a student again.

i've a feeling the class is waiting for me to blog.
i don't blame you. i blame myself for taking 100 photos last night. 100 exactly. and my wonderful camera still has space for another 700. thkfully i didnt go DXO. who knows what other photos i'll take. oh dear haotian, at least now you can tell everyone - "Been there, done that."
ohs, and this blog is also meant for our dear mrs chengs, and Vanessa, Lilun and Michelle, who couldnt turn up for the prom last night! thank you mr chow and mrs ang for coming! ogle the gorgeous girls and hunky guys!

in 05S7A alone, we have an array of outfits. first up, the GORGEOUS LADIESS,

melinda, PQ and karen

joanna turned up in Silver! stunning!

gwyneth, liying with me, nik and yanzhi at the back. the Bao4 Dian3 is lingling's beautiful HAIR. everyone was so shocked to know she had that much hair?! where have u been hiding them, liying? flaunt them!

Liying

Melinda - i kept commenting her dress made her look like a greek goddess! woo~

i think this is a match made in heaven! haha no la, just commenting that both helen and haotian are the only ones that can make this photo look goooood.

dont believe? look at this lor. helen was nice to bend over slightly. thanks helen.

okok, i'll make myself feel better with this =D. my turn to bend over WHAHAHA. karen don't kill me. wow but karen, your makeup and hairdo was captivating! haha but i know your hollywood secrets!

these ladies are RAVISHING.

omg yunmin, this is a really scandalous photo. i'll risk putting it here, cos i think it's also nice at the same time. ADAM im at your mercy.

Okok enough of the girlsssss. now let's look at some 7A HUNKS.

dear bennie, nik, kelvin, kaishyang me and mel squeezing in to fit my 5.0 megapixel Lumix screen. im jealous joanna got her 6.0 megapixel cam, of the SAME brand, at a cheaper price -.-

now i know how towkay Kelvin will look like in the future.

and towkay Liang too.

and i envy kaishyang's complexion. oh my, for the past 2 wks, you'll never know how many precautions i took to ensure i've got smooth silky skin last night. i hope my efforts paid off. no big nasty pimple thkfully. and kaishyang does NOTHING.
The world is never fair. - Mrs Ang

me nik and yanzhi! and yanzhi worked realllly hard for this prom, combing the East, West and South parts of Singapore to find his white outfit and bling-blings! and i love my mum. she bought that eagle badge to pin on my otherwise plain blazer. WOW i'm happy i received many good comments about my bling-bling too =)

OK! i think that's about all! i've selected these few pictures, out of the 100 i took.
i shall end off with this group photo!!

We have BOTH the brains... and looks. I LOVE THIS CLASS.

Enchante'06 - A night of glamour has ended with a bang last night.

A new chapter in life has begun for us all! May we continue the tradition of EXCELLENCE, wherever we go and whatever we do in the future... .... =)

2006-12-05T15:08:00.000+08:00

Last Night was really a great experience, the photo taking session was fun, but the dancing was great too. Of course some people were a bit into alcohol and tends to go a bit high, but trust me, you can go high and enjoy clubbing without alcohol :) Alcohol is bad for health ...

And I would like to apologise to the girls who kindly allowed us to stay over till morning, Thank you all so much. I am really sorry for all the troubles and inconvenience we have caused you. I know it was really uncomfortable for a particular few and once again, I would like say Sorry. It was really a first to see pple around me get semi-carried over. Hopefully you all have a good night's rest.

This marks the official end of JC life, but I believe that the friendship among all will last for all the time to come. Thanks all for all the happiness you have brought into my life. Good luck to all.

2006-12-05T10:17:00.000+08:00

Hey pple,

Hope you guys enjoyed the prom night immensely, I know I did for sure. A mega-photowhoring session is fun; would have been much better if i didn't have a 20mb memory card): Thus ends 2 years of JC life.

IT'LL NEVER END!!

2 years is really too short to be spending with all of you and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for being who you are. 7A will forever be my second family, and i hope you feel the same way.

Gotta thank Melinda, pq, Joanna and Yun Min for putting up with me last night. Zzz I tried the graveyard cocktail (5 shots of liquor topped up with Guiness Stout), which i foolishly believed to be 5 seperate shots. Thus i became semi-drunk: I can see what tempts pple to be alcoholics: It feels like being detached from your body, which i find oddly irritating. It impairs your basic psychomotor functions but leave your higher thought processes intact, thus adding to the frustration of losing control. I hope the other guys aren't hungover, if you are drink gallons after gallons of water.: It saved me a hangover(: So, sorry girls for the trouble, its an experience, not a great one and at the expense of others ):

Me. Closed my eyes cos i can't stop the room from spinning XD

Enjoy your life(:

2006-12-04T00:22:00.000+08:00

oh my im enjoying EVERY second of post-As life. Live it, love it.
anyway, i just have this urge to blog, just to share with everyone how i've been living life the past few days.

of course, i'll have to start with the CLEARING. clearing of books, notes - anything reminiscent of studying. no no no, i didnt throw them away! i merely organised them into files, and set them aside neatly in boxes:

but of course, i HAD to throw away some stuff. mostly stuff left over from my wonderful days in chinese high...

and my table is now no longer a mess!!!

ok fine pls ignore that unsightly feather duster.

and guess what 7A-ers, i've prepared prom gifts for ALL of u! =) just a sneak preview here:

wow with flash it looks much brighter!

okookok so that's all folks! aiya, what a pity the mrs chengs are not coming... wonder if any other tutors we know will be there? may EVERYONE be glamorous tmr night!

ciao for now! - Alfie

2006-12-01T21:09:00.000+08:00

HEY everyone
I've got a room at the Ritz Carlton!
The smallest and most standard room of course lah.
Anyway, I thought it would be nice if I opened it up to the class for their use in the day. Like for guys and girls to come and put make up or dress up, or deposit your things before prom!

But before you do that, I'd like to know if you are coming. So if you are, please sms me by Sunday night so I can figure out exactly who is coming, and at what time.

You guys are free to come any time after 2.30 pm but PLEASE do not make any commotion in the lobby! Cos I think the hotel imposes very strict regulations on the number limited to one room so we must stay inconspicuous ok!

And I'm terribly sorry but because of the regulations I can't accept any more people to stay over for the night. SORRY

So please tell me if you're coming! And the time! Both guys and girls are welcome for the day!

:)

Refund!!

2006-11-25T13:00:00.000+08:00

Hey ppl, think everyone should have received the message to collect $7 from me BY prom. Just in case umm somehow you still don't know, class fund has $168 left (including the Bio fund). Owe some people $2.50 more too, old debt, would have told you if I owed you this additional $2.50. Anything left after prom would be used for whatever class activities there might be, and I don't know what these might be too, just speculating that there MAY be some hotel room being booked, details I really do not know, so please don't ask me. (If you think you might be going for one of these "activities" then no need to collect the $7 =p) Yes hope you all enjoy collecting money for a change ;)

Enjoy the hols too! Don't spend soooo much for prom until you go broke though

I'm looking for a man to photophosphorylate me all night long.

I will fondle your vesicles while you caress my golgi body. My stroma is leaking all over the place. We can do it in the alpha or beta configuration, whichever you prefer. You whip me with your flagellum, tubulin subunits flying everywhere. We can make a mess as I've hired some lysosomes to clean up after. Please have a smooth endoplasmic reticulum but know that I like it rough, if you know what I mean. I also prefer my ribosomes bound...tight. Spin me round with your basal body and make sure it's turgid. Pump me up and down your concentration gradient, letting the chemiosmosis take control. I can go both ways, just like an amphipathic phospholipid. Do you like aerobic respiration as much as I do?

Let me know if this makes you secrete.

Last Random Thing

2006-11-14T19:50:00.000+08:00

Something to liven things up before the end of A lvls:

Hmmm...

2006-11-14T19:39:00.000+08:00

Here to promote an album which I think is really good.

It's a chinese Album, Singer is 元若藍 from Taiwan, her Album is 爱X无限大.

For those who would like to listen to something different, it's really good!

Just one last thing, Calling for all Guys & Gals to go for class chalet. Honestly speaking, this is like the last time we can gather as a class and a class alone, to spend some quality time with our class, after which it might take years for us to meet again. Treasure the time we still have together! ^^

All the Best for A lvls!

Right hand strategically placed to conceal imperfections.

Um, Haotian is actually almost sitting on the FLOOR in this photo.. :/

We found our teacher's pics when they were students/teaching!! Oh we are so bo liao to search the Red Spot section.

Click to enlarge the picture so you may, too, marvel at the youth our teachers once had (and still have).

Find Mr Chow?
Last row, second from left.

Mrs Boo is a sweet young thing.
First row, second from right.

Mrs Ang in those days!
Second row, second from right.

She's really trendy in this photo from my father's time.
First row, first from left.

Oh we found Mrs Judith Cheng's picture too she's a real beauty haha, what a lot of hair, but she is horrified that I found it and she promises another photo of her in 94 so at the moment she requests I withhold her picture. She also kindly tried to chase me offline by reminding me that I have to study. DON'T WORRY LAH MRS CHENG I WON'T BLACKMAIL YOU WITH IT, but everyone else if you can't stand the suspense and you want to see how pretty she is just check out 94S71.

2006-10-16T00:26:00.000+08:00

Here are pictures from the last day of school. Just like on my blog. Haha.

I love pizza.

I love Venezia too! Oh what a funny expression on my face. I picked it over the normal one because perhaps this is what I usually look like to most people! Oh well ice cream always makes me happy. Soulfood.

The class treated Mrs Boo to pizza! YUMMY.
"Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken, or me?"

HAHAHAHA LOOK AT MRS BOO'S FACE. :/

Yesterday afternoon our delicious class went out for some COCA STEAMBOAT. Oh it was heavenly. I do love buffets.

My cup runneth over.

Adam's so pro at the cooking we suspect he's worked at COCA before.

How ironic Koka didn't come. We remembered him each time we ate FISHCAKE haha.

HAHAHA if you are wondering what Karen is drinking, it's NOT Tomyum soup. It's just chicken soup drenched in CHILLI.

After sitting there for almost 3 hours and deciding we could not move anymore, and Alfred proclaiming to me to eat more because I wasn't 9 months pregnant, we left.
I do wish I had eaten more, in retrospect. HAHAHA But I know I couldn't.

WE SAW A FASHION SHOW!!

More fun than Project Runway. And from our position we could see all the unglam shots behind us, all the models stripping the moment they got backstage and doing their hair. Yanzhi says it's more interesting than the runway show itself.

Alfred is a semo ahpek leering lecherously at the models.

We went to Zara! And tried on hats.

So funny!

I was hiccuping all the time I was at Zara. I just couldn't get rid of it, it was really embarrassing I would walk into people and go UUUURURPPP! Then I saw Adam in a suit and then suddenly I realised my hiccups had stopped. I was shocked beyond hiccups.

Whoa I'm a real geisha with gorgeous lips.

2006-10-13T23:47:00.000+08:00

ahhh... this entry, is once again, late by a week! this shall be about MAF'06, which was held last week within HwAcHoNg.

mostly pictures and few wordssss. plus 3 videos too! EXCITING.

first, we met at Orchard to makan at pastamania - Cineleisure =)

when it was 6:30pm, we chiong-ed back to hwachong. on the bus, adam and karen shared some music.

i took some paparazzi fotos and karen instantly morphed into a monster.

so finally, we reached hwachong, just in time for the Light-up!

and this is the backdrop. Chang-e....

we took many group photos =). one with mr chow...

and one with mrs ang!

Poor adam, he actually asked mrs ang for a dance. you should know what's her reply =)

the haze was bad, and the moon appeared red, but everyone was still HIGHHHH...
As we sing and stand in a line. sorry, too dark!
another video =)

later on, we left slightly earlier to avoid the crowd, and snacked at KAP.

ok so that's about all for MAF'06!!!

and i shall go on to report on my trip to KK Hospital's SPERM BANK. zhenhao gwyneth and i went, as part of out LAST bio S lesson yay.
girls, grab ur seats. dont change channels, cos this ISN'T PORN.
though i heard that sperm donors are given porn magazines to accelerate the donation process. the nitty gritty details, i shall leave out =).

anyway, what caught my eye was the millions of cranes hanging from the ceiling. whoaaaaa...
GORGEOUS

following which, we had a short briefing about ARTs (artifical reproductive techniques), IVF and IUI(intrauterine insemination). i realised i havent thought about whatever happens between zygote formation and blastocyst formation. have u wondered... what happened to the zona pellucida? i haven't. oops.
and well, apparently there is a BLASTOCYST HATCHING process! the zona pellucida breaks open and the blastocyst is expelled =)

and this is how IVF is carried out. click and watch the video! notice that at the end, u see an ovum with 2 nuclei inside. THAT's the male and female pronuclei! amazing.

and the lab assistants(ladies!) demonstrated how semen analysis is carried out. btw, that's REAL semen. no offence, people.

and this is how the sperms are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks=) see those tubes? each one of them contains sperms from an individual

ok! end of field trip!

once again, i shall end off this entry with yet more beautiful shots from my house =)

my block getting a new coat of paint!

Live it, love it. Bukit Panjang.

PSA

2006-10-13T23:33:00.000+08:00

kk people, alfred has been asking me bout this so please bear with me.

As most of you by now know, i've gotten my president scout award. As for those that do not know what it is, here is a brief summary. In scouting, you are a Scout from sec 1 to 3, come sec 4 you become a Venture and in jc2 you can choose to either go for Leader training or become a Rover. Now, the Rover scheme has no real badges so the highest standard achievable is the President Scout Award under the Venture testwork scheme.

Now as to what the actual testwork involves...shall not go through all the minor details but generally you have to amass at least 30 hours of cip over 6 months, thats why i was doing the tuition service at Gracehaven last year. Another major hurdle is the hike component, a >90km 3-day-2-night hike. I did it just before the PW presentation i think some of you would remember the map i brought to school hahaha.

The final two are technically the most tedious parts, you have the project which is to plan and organise an activity for scout hq on a national level for at least 6 months or till completion(whichever is shorter) Some of these projects can be rather interesting like i know a girl (yes girls do get the award too but so far in history only 2 have gotten it) who was placed in charge of drawing up the protocol with respects to how scout units deal with girl scouts. Or it can be like mine which was a camp. Lol interestingly enough i was supposed to organise a camp for 500 people but in the end there were only 50. sigh talk about bad management in the upper ecleons of scout hq.

Finally you also have the ASPIRE, interesting name but basically its a camp during which they test you all your leadership skills, survival, first aid, pioneering, orienteering, fitness basically the works... Its tough I must admit, the statistics alone are staggering. In June this year only 1 out of 13 passed. December last year only 4 out 16. I personally do not really know how i passed i always believe and still do that God helped me a lot.

K well enough said you probably get the idea thats why among scouts this award is so prestigious. Prestigious enough to shake the president's hand hahaha... but yeah well here are the pics alfred asked for enjoy.

PS: incase your wondering, 6 people were awarded the award this year.

Me getting my award.

The PSA awardees with Mr President in the banquet hall.

Lol that my family, scout family, school representative and principal. (Thats Mr. Seow!!!)

The whole world is in this picture...sadly i look fat ): But yes guides too have President Guides Award, though it is sid to be much easier to obtain.

The 5 of us, the 6th is presently persueing further studies under an SAF scholarship.

So yup thats it, if you've reached this point i congratulate you on accomplishing an amazing feat of determination and perserverence to plow your way through such dry text.

photoes

2006-10-06T23:49:00.000+08:00

Today we had photo taking day!!! Lol sadly our class and the junior class do not really interact much but i was fun while it lasted...lol started with us sitting outside the new general office what a dumb place to take a photo so we decided to shift. The chinese high boys being caught up in an overwhelming surge of communistic fervour decided to go to their clock tower...

There we took some really nice photoes but there were so many cameras! 7 i think! Got so bored in the end that kept doing funny poses with lynett. Pei Qi tried to kick me lor ahhh! Luckily she didn't succeed! I shall remember this!

Zhi Han Practicing his paparazzi skills

And again

strolling towards the clock tower

7A full class!!!

Me and my mortal :P so vain she went to take off her glasses!

Poor eelin got left out ): nvm i went to take a super unglam photo of her!

Lol after school ended went with zhen hao and yan zhi to bishan gym. Oh my and to think it was initiated by yan zhi...hahaha anyway we had a good time and took some lame photoes :P

Hope you guys had a fun day too!

Adam

PS: hmmm just reread this blog entry omg sounds quite hmmm whats the word?...bimbotic? lol

2006-09-30T12:56:00.000+08:00

gosh this post should've been up earlier, blame it on my laziness. i procrastinated.
anyway, it's up. and this entry shall be about our Kbox outing on Monday 25-9-06, after Chem S paper!

the Chem S was tedious, but the incentive of k-boxing spurred me on to finish the LAST PRELIM PAPERRR. quite a lot of ppl went, 11 in fact =). after the paper, we went to makan lunch at Curry Wok. it was cramped, but cosyyyy...

3 heads. nik's expression is kinda weird.

while waiting for the bus to clementi, vanessa and pq decided to imitate a chef. can someone tell me what that poster is all about? V for...? Vendetta? Vanessa?

the bus trip was also filled with laughter. while watching a modelling show on TVMobile...

zhen hao was trying to find his blind-spot...

and once again, pq has tricked vanessa into taking an UNglam shot.

ahh! Clementi!! where u can find cheapo Kbox =) though it wasnt as cheap as we hoped it would be, of cos, with 6 bowls of tidbits amounting to $30??? daylight robbery...

time is precious, so we began singing awayyyy. some chinese pop songs were selected, along with some english oldies by ABBA etc. the english MTVs were really sleazy though, with bikini babes and suggestive poses -.-''

Obviously liang zhen is mesmerised by my SUBLIME voice. Tao zui qi zhong =).
i dont think sublime should be used here, i dont care =p. i just realised last nite, that sublime has 3 distinct meanings:
1. solid to gas.
2. lofty, high-class.
3. i forgot, so pls ask pq.
i hope my voice is lofty. (sounds awkward...)

imagine there's a photo below showing PQ in a really weird posture when she was selecting a song with the remote control.

she didnt want me to put it up so she could protect her modesty.

we've also uncovered several singing talents - yanzhi & kelvin. the girls fell in love with yanzhi, and kel sang using his falsetto effortlessly. however... there were some voices that were not as wonderful.

Click on the foto above to experience the noise pollution for yourself. no offence adam haha.

3 hours plus later, we had to leave.... so we quickly sang our very last song by Harlem Yu...

it's another video! we just cant bear to leave.

yup, so that wraps up our KBOX outing!! yayayayayayayayayayayay...

im bored, so i shall give all of u a sneak peak into alfred's private life =)

my window view... ahh... GORGEOUS. so many lights and tall apartments that reach towards the sky

i should also be caught for vandalising the wall outside my window.

c'mon, my block's getting a new coat of paint mah. a little doodling is ok la...

and during the prelims period, my table is a MESS. i can see the periodic table smiling at me.

okok i think that's about it. i realised my entry these days have been largely pictorial. i love the camera.

last but not least, give ourselves a pat for our performance in physics! check out http://chowamushii.blogspot.com =) we clinched 9 positions amongst the top 100 (~10%!) and

"particularly S7A and S72... keep a lookout for your classes in the class average chart when I show on Mon... looks quite amazing"
- Mr Chow

oh goody! anyway, it's lunchtime now. and guess what, im going to see lee hom live at Junction 8 tmr. oh wells...

2006-09-26T21:02:00.000+08:00

i formally apologise for everything ive previously said and typed in my past blog entry.

especially if it has inflicted insult, injury or offended any of you in any way. i probably wasnt in the right state of mind when i did that and i am probably not in any position to make such statements about the class either. who am i to pass such judgements? to have made such sweeping statements is probably violating one of the most fundamental rules of GP as well.

pointing fingers and making wild accusations isnt helping anyone at all.

how idiotic it is of me saying how much i want all of us to be closer and yet at the same time creating animosity thru those statements. to have grown to hate the people whom i have loved most is probably my worst flaw.
hate doesnt apply here but i dont ever want it to occur and am afraid for when it happens.

i just wish to say that im truely grateful.
to have been able to find my name on that white sheet of paper outside the canteen saying 05S7A on the top.
to have played an axe-wielding gimly alongside the fellowship.
to have had my nasilemak eaten by others during MAF
to have opened my eyes when i was helpless in gleneagles and saw you smiling
to have spent this 0.20 decade laughing alongside all you people, even if i didnt contribute

thank you for giving me the happiest moments of my life.
and thanx again for being my friends.

and this is 1 special post by Alfred, to showcase the sexiest man in 05S7A. girls, here goes...

somehow, i've caught zhenhao in awkward positions at 4 separate occassions during last nite's party.

WHO CAN RESIST HIM?!?

2006-09-24T15:08:00.000+08:00

yooohoo 7A-ers! the post-prelims party at Nik's house just ended with a BANG!
and alfred's gonna update those who didnt manage to go with many fotos!!!

adam had already begun to prepare a sumptious dinner at 4pm =) the poor chickens had huge onions stuffed into their anus, but i guess it's the taste that matters =)
and by 7pm, almost everyone had arrived and the table was filled with food. pls drool.

of cos! pls congratulate adam for being a PRESIDENT'S SCOUT!!! pls do not bathe for the next wk (hold ur noses!) so we can at least touch that hand of urs that has S'pore president S.R. Nathan's epidermal cells.

while having our dinner together in the living room, we watched When a Stranger Calls.

not much atmosphere, but it does have some thrill element in it. even adam screamed when the man thrashed in the water to grab Jill.

after the 87 min movie, we began to PLAYYYYYY...

a mahjong battle began promptly, with adam, yz, ziping and zihao pitting their skills against each other. with the dice stolen by me, they had no choice but to ask us for a random number whenever a game starts -.-''
and i guess the movie startled them. WHO GOES THERE?!

Yanzhi concentrating really hardd.... ...

next to the mahjong battle, a gambling den was manifesting. with 16 dice of various colours and sizes, we played a zhong-ji-mi-ma kind of game, followed by a pseudo-bluff game, ideas obtained from Xiao Qi Da Cai Shen variety show =)
anyway i shan't explain the rules and stuff. the pictures speak a thousand words =)

Headless haotian!!!

i'm caught bluffing!

so was vanessa...

next we moved on to playing InDiAn PoKeR =)

the prize was enticing. a sip of ice cold Bailey's. zhenhao got a little tipsy after 2 sips. can't blame him, cos the alcohol is less diluted in a smaller body ;)

and of cos, we ought to thank nik for his wonderful house =). i miss his brother jeremy toh hahaha.

and yay!!! the party's over! and hope everyone enjoyed themselves!

Move along, by All American Rejects

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone sins
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Move along)
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along

(end)

In this time of darkness, when the clock says "THE END", it all boils down to bonds. Something transient. Strong? Weak? Non-existent?

How many people in our class do you love? (no not that way) Give everyone a piece of it; a love divided by 24 is never diminished in strength or value(: You don't need to be loved to love back. Initiate it. I don't need evidences that you love me, I have something stronger: I have belief. A belief that in a way, however, infinitesmall, i have touched your live and make you laugh. To ask for an immortal position in anyone's mind is too much, but the human side of me screams for a little of this attention and so does everyone's else.

All this time, I hope you people have enjoyed my company as much as i enjoyed yours. I've spent every moment in my studying wishing that it was the day of the exam, so that i can catch a glimpse of all your faces at the bench that is the anchor of my soul. I wish I could tell you all how much you all meant to me, but for what it's worth, none would suffice. I'm used to lonliness, to darkness, but it doesn't make them any easier to stand when i look at the clock at the night and holding my notes in one hand and squeezing my rubber ducky with the other, wishing that I was in all of your company.

At a time like this, there's no need for me to ask any more of your people. Love yourself (no, not that way), for being alive is never your business alone. Adam and the other nameless guy (nick i suppose) have voiced the pains of many. For now that is behind me, I have no need of any more worries in a life so riddled with it. Take care of yourselves, in this 2 months we might learn more about each other than in the 2 years.

Love,
Hao Tian

yooohohoho peepx,
so does the class want a post-prelim party???

YES!!!!

does the class want to have some fun???

U BET!!!!

does the class want to watch some moviesss???

BRING IT ON, BABY!!!!

so here goes:

MOVIE: Miami Vice
starring Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx and... Gong Li?!

Time: 3pm
Venue: Bishan J8

Synopsis:
Ricardo Tubbs is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy, as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders. Sonny Crockett is charismatic and flirtatious until-while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group-he gets romantically entangled with Isabella, the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. The intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one-especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves.

frustrated...

2006-09-22T00:42:00.000+08:00

hey class,

K let me first clarify that i in no way mean to hurt any one of you all or mean insult of any kind. However i do feel that i need to voice out. Its something all the guys lament about and i guess i should actually bring it forth.

Firstly, i admit that guys and girls are different. We have different taste, styles, and humour, among other things. However i do believe that no matter what there should always be compromise on both sides. I have no qualms about following people to go shopping or even to look at make up. i've done it before! but similarly i do believe girls should at least entertain the guys a bit if we wanna say look at some comics or muck about a bit as we guys normally do. However this is where the problem arises. Both the guys and the girls in the class do not seem to meet in a middle ground. Oh wait let me stop that thought they do not even seem to communicate!

The guys have no clue none whatsoever what the girls in class want to do. Similarly the girls also have a wrong impression of the guys. Lets be honest with this, besides a few individuals, the guys in class would rather be out at a movie or doing something else other than get stuck in a LAN shop. We only would willingly enter a LAN shop if the urge gets to us. After all we normally play at home for free so why bother to go to a LAN shop. So yeah if either side are both clueless as to what each want to do then how do we do anything?

This problem arises again when it comes to class 'events'. Notice that whenever an 'event' is organised it is either an all guy organising team comprising of ben, ht and i or an all girl organising team of vanessa, yun min and joanna. But look at the wonderful results it achieves. When guys organise anything no girls come and when the girls organise anything the guys always leave feeling as though they have wasted their time. On top of that let me point out some facts. Whenever anybody organises anything they bloody hell tank the whole freaking thing from buying food to calling to organising. Can i point out that 1. It is tiring 2. It is frustrating 3. so dun complain it just adds insult to injury ( and trust me the complains always find their way to the organising people ) 4. Have you ever thought of helping? (chipping in...and not just sitting on your ass and expect a sliver platter to fall on your lap) For this i am not targeting any sex i am talking about the whole class. YES both guys and girls.

So tell me what type of class do we have? what is this thing called class spirit? What? a shirt though i admit was nice of pei qi to draw for us but the class was SOOO cooperative in getting together. A class shirt to be honest is not about the shirt it is about the process of getting it and making it and designing as a class. Pei qi i applaud her did almost everything. From drawing to buying to printing and she did a good job but it should be called pei qi's shirt. Not class shirt.

You guys all only go through jc only once. What do you wish to remember about these years? The closest friends most adults have are actually their JC friends, or for our parents that only had 6 year courses, and their secondary school friends. In university you do not have a class at all, you will never get a chance to form such a close bond between people as a class is supposed to have. Yet we just throw this oppurtunity away? Does friendship mean so little to you? are the years here just for show on an A level cert...

Agreed that you may not like everybody. Agreed some people get on your nerves or some people seem to pick on you. But is that not what a class is all about. Is that not what friends are all about. That regardless of all their idiosyncrasies you can always count on them to help you in times of need. Maybe i have been blessed. In my last two classes over the past 4 years i have amassed two class full of friends. These are people i see no more than once or twice a year but if i were to call one of them up at any time and asked for help i am very sure that will get it. Sure i have such friends in hwa chong but perhaps this is the saddest part, i know more of such people outside my class than inside... I have tried my best to change this and i have ignored many things hoping time will change... but i guess it just doesn't work in the end, I know burglars and thieves that i can call friends but i have some classmates that i can't...what does that say? None of you can deny my many attempts to foster friendships...but they seem to be shooting at a wall that just blocks out...

I am sorry to have to post something like this. But i believe that i should never hide what i truely feel. I hold no real angry or hatred for anybody, and never will but i do feel frustration and a sense of drifting as though i have nothing to anchor to. Perhaps i am too frank, emotional, spontaneous, random and loud. But i have always been this way and people have accepted me for it. My friends niao me like mad as we like to do among each other, we may not all fit like clockwork but we know each other, or lives and ways. Who knows maybe that is why we are friends? Not that we are alike but that we know each other and trust one another. Who knows?

As it stands this entry will only be viewed by a handful of people...the usual few that put in the effort to come and view the blog to find out about each other...to these people i applaud you...

Treasury

2006-09-17T21:19:00.000+08:00

Is that Joanna who thinks Chem is so damn easy? Haha anyway just to inform you all, the class piggy only has $33.10 left, not very fat for an elaborate party huh =p But I doubt I'll collect anymore $$, if term time I've a hard collecting from you ppl, imagine post-prelims, have to deal with... um... ppl who will request to delay payment till next year? Well you all know who i'm talking about ;)

I suggest we spend up this $33.10, and collect the shortfall from whoever's going. Well but as a responsible treasurer (yeah right), I won't mind collecting $$ say on Wednesday from those who will be going. Whatever excess cash perhaps juz spurge on stuff like chocs or sth so we won't have the prob of returning ppl sums like $0.77? Or $0.65? Haha those funny numbers... But if I'm gg to collect, please, I'm NOT going to chase you all k? I select those whom I chase carefully =D

Another thing about class fund, if I'm not going to collect anymore, I really won't know what to do if there are expenses after prelims. Please, subj reps, if you know that there WILL be expenses soon, tell me so tt I postpone my retirement date ok? Then you all had better pay up when I say so, NO DELAYS!!!

Ok enough about $$ already. Umm class party huh, was about to suggest Monday aft Chem S but realised I won't be free then too.. Hmm so i guess Sat wld be fine. But its not really about studying (when did I ever do so?), its just... there wldn't be the mood la... I mean we won't feel as carefree as you lucky ppl right? 30th can? Haha but I realise ppl like me are in the minority.

Weh GALS!!! You all had better come k, if not I'll really start wishing I could change class =p jk la, but really, if the guys want organise stuff, its so easy, but what's a class if there's no oestrogen around? Stay over right, how many gals would? (no offence, know some parents are more conservative, but you get what i mean) Haha did I help lots of people say what they want to say in this para?

Yes cards!!! Haha ok have fun w the rest of prelims everyone (=

drag

2006-09-17T17:32:00.000+08:00

Life is a drag...what to do? Make it fun of course!

K people! Forget how screwed the exams are going to be...set aside your worries and torments! I have some good news for you guys! After the exams on the 23rd night! We are going to have a party! Thus far there are three options! Kelvin's new house (he wants to show us around). Hao tian's place...its the most lively at night (: or Adam's place which is always open. Hao Tian and Kelvin are presently asking their parents and stuff but should not be a problem i think. (:

I'm thinking for food a potluck would be good or maybe just a group of us can get together and prep everything its up to you guys so please give feekback ( Was actually wondering why not do a steam boat?) Drinks are easy so that would be no problem either.

I'm not too sure what you guys want to do but i was thinking anything that would be relaxing basically a chance for everybody to sit around and talk and laugh and relax i guess. Of course depending on where we go different activities are available. Hao Tian has a pool, Kelvin has a playstation and Adam has a dog plus basketball and soccer court (however i think that only appeals to guys). All three have movies, vcd players and television sets plus the all important mahjong and cards. So what do you guys think?

I know, I know those people with chemistry s paper are very poor thing but sorry lar you guys are just damn suai ): you can always take a break for the night, right? no harm done!

PS: Any chance we can stay over?

2006-09-16T21:20:00.000+08:00

Dear all,

We have all survived the first week of prelims haha. It has been a ... not so wonderful experience for many of us, but at least we managed to come through in one piece. It is going to be another week(or 2 for some pple with S-papers) and I agree that it is going to be tough, however we should all stay calm. Do not worry too much about how much or how little you have completed, all that you need is self-esteem and a good night's rest. Very often, the results we obtain are disappointing and not proportional to how hard we worked for. The harsh reality leads us to question our own abilities, our IQ, our potential.

That is just part of life, it happens so often, when our efforts do not pay off. sometimes we feel so fustrated that we want to just escape from all the exams that torment us. However, we should let it all go. The school exams are often set at a standard above the actual exam so as to instill a sense of urgency in us. Many at times, it is the stress we place on ourselves that suppress our true abilities. When we are obsessed with the marks, we lose out on others in life.

This is the prelims, the results are important but they do not determine our fate. They act as an accurate reflection of our abilities at this point in time and tells us how far we are from our goals. For those we do well, we are happy for you. For those who do not perform as well, work hard for the actual exam. Now is not the end, so just put the past behind and prepare yourself for the final exam and put a perfect end to your JC life.

That's all, signing off

All the best for Prelims & A'levels!

2006-09-01T16:04:00.000+08:00

After GP Prelims - Kelvin looks as if he's about to say something vulgar ;-)

studies and scouts

2006-08-10T16:55:00.000+08:00

Hey guys,

You all are probably using tihs holiday to frantically catch up on tutorials, mug and stuff. Lol i wish i could but for today i definitely ain't in the mood to study sigh.

Was actually thinking about that CCA record thingy that the school is wanting us to write. To be honest i don't really know how to write it...afterall you don't really know where to start or stop. its a matter of how can you really put all the sweat and blood into words, the hours spent and blood loss during matches. The humiliation of losing and the emotional bonding among your teammates. Its like how can you really put your contributions to your cca in words...it just won't do justice and its not like you can ask someone else to do it. After all its something so personal. Like say all the work i've done in scouting. You can always say the name of the award you got but unless people know the award and all the shit and sweat and blood that goes into it no one will truely be able to fully appreciate its meaning...sigh well i guess it can't really be help after all there is no other way for people to assess your contributions. for a fair evaluation they have to rely on a basic system. Hmmm makes you wonder how people actually choose you for scholarships and jobs...is it all the stuff in your resume...does that really help? After all they know as much as you know that such stuff is actually all just that...papers... Even in a interview how much can you really understand about a person in jsut that 15 to 30 minutes. Sigh much i think...

Well with the way things are i guess we just have to get our papers and fill up our resumes after what else can we really do?

Adam

2006-08-05T00:52:00.000+08:00

Heh today's Physics prac was a mad competition because Mr Chow announced the last group to completely assemble the circuit would receive a kiss from Adam. AHH!! luckily we didn't lose.

Why is the op-amp so cute!

We are so happy we avoided the dreadful fate of Adam's kiss.

YAY!

It's always better when we're together

Waiting waiting the whole afternoon (and falling asleep) just so school would end! Exciting escapades! Gwyneth lost control of her foot and rammed it into Alfred's butt!
Alfred: I felt something kick my ****!
Gwyneth: It was me I couldn't help it!
Peiqi: How does it feel like?
Gwyneth: It was too irresistable I had to kick it!
Peiqi: AHAHAHA you're so funny Gwyneth. I WANT TO TRY!
Alfred: omg..
Joanna: DOES THIS MEAN WE ALL GET TO TRY?

And since Alfred was surrounded by a whole row of class girls I grabbed the opportunity to announce: ALFRED you are so lucky, you are surrounded by a bevy of beauties!

While we shopped at NTUC in the afternoon I wiped out the cutlery there.
Me: OH! Disposable cups. I'll get 40. Ahh disposable forks! Disposable spoons! How many? Disposable plates! Disposable bowls! ... OMG DISPOSABLE PANTIES?
I don't know why they were in such close proximity.

And so embarrassing on the bus home (oh but so many other embarrassing incidents this week) I was happily sitting down when the disposable bowls I bought decided to jump out of the grocery bag and then gaily roll off to the front of the bus. :( I made Alfred get it.

I think our class really just needed an excuse to relax and unwind. This welcome-back party was a great idea!

Yay my house is full of trays of pasta and fried rice and chips and stew!! Mmph! And why?
Thanks to all the fantastic cooks of 05S7A!

BEVY OF BEAUTIES! HAHA wow the swimming pool looks unnaturally blue behind us!

Ben's look of horror as Yunmin piles a mountain on his plate.

A FEAST!!!! Seriously delicious I loved every dish! Thanks to those who helped out heehee i liked chopping the mushrooms.

Nik is happy with his food! :) 2 more months, and you'll be able to eat everything!!

Food monsters!! We ravaged the food. MMPHHH everything was amazingly YUMMY. Bye bye Project Skinny Ninny shucks lah height and weight next week! That's one of my dreaded times :(

We sat down and enjoyed a toast. Yes a toast that took 10 minutes for everyone to get ready since everyone was busy refilling their cups with Ribena.

Happy happy birthday!

I'm at the back! I'm TALLER than ALL OF YOU!!! and I look so dark in the picture. :(

Happy night but I'm dreadfully tired. Think of all the stuff to pack and clear up after the party!!!

OH the best bit about hosting the party is I'm the first to get home. YAY

Success in Life

2006-07-19T19:36:00.000+08:00

What Is Success?

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give of one's self;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived -

This is to have succeeded.

The Spirit Carries On

Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, life is too short,
The here and the now
And you're only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear

Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

How many of us can say the same? Perhaps not even in our lifetime, but that shouldn't stop our progress.

Just a few more steps, a few more.

Your victory awaits. Just a few more steps.

I DREAMT OF NICHOLAS!

Wooo!!! It's a funny dream so I must share.
See, I was so happy after the end of Physics I went to watch SUPERMAN RETURNS! Super.

So when I went to bed I dreamt of going to the hospital to see Superman. With all the high security like in the movies. And who was in the bed? NICHOLAS!!!

OH!
I rushed to the bed and said NICHOLAS U MUST GET BETTER, SUPERMAN, YOU HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE TO SAVE!!!!!!!

And he got moved to another ward when he got better.
HAHAHAHA OH I REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS SUPERMAN IN THE DREAM!!

2006-06-27T17:38:00.000+08:00

Hmm funny, how come Nik's morning post is above Adam's... Nvm

Hey who in the world found Chem easy?!!??! Must be crazy... Thought this was the paper I'm most confident in, but now, it seems I'll probably fo better in GP! (Fyi I never got above C for GP this year =p)

Maybe I should have spent more time studying in the hols than I actually did... Sigh can't turn back round in time... Anyway I just realised, that June hols is probably one of the last hols we'll have, at least for the guys (lucky gals, have about 7 months nxt year)... All we can look forward to after the A-s is NS... Oh how wonderful )=

Ok enough of whining, better get down to work. Tmr's maths, its more "on the spot" performance than studying right? Other than the few formulae which we have to memorise, which I realise I have clean forgotten...

Ya so ppl, Pls study so tt you won't end up whining like me.. Oh and this Thurs/Fri/Sat, want go somewhere play? Phy on Tues not impt la, only an 1hr-plus paper, not much to prepare for (shld have done it for papers 1 & 2 anw), so how?? [Other than DOTA pls...]

Sigh all that i can say is die liao...starts to make me wish i had studied for my chem sigh...was trying to cram even up to this morning man sian....

Anyway for you guys out there that thought it was easy/okay than good for you (: Wish that you guys find maths just as easy or even easier.

And for people like me that think chem was quite hard and all lets not bother about that and start studying maths.

And Mrs. Cheng if your reading this. Two things, firstly...Why in the world did chem department set such a hard paper! Its unfair especially for people like me that were busy during the hols and only hard a bit of time to study...)': Than secondly please dun scold us if we do as predicted...which is badly ): Its not our fault that the paper is so hard hmmm but then again it is our fault for not studying....hmmm

Lol k If your reading this!!! GO STUDY LIAO LAR!!!

mugging

2006-06-24T01:10:00.000+08:00

heylo heylo,

Its 1 am and am up doing late night mugging trying to burn the midnight oil sigh. Should seriously stop doing this dun really know whats the use since i'm going to spend the same amount of time sleeping and wake up late tmr lol. But than again in the money i'm utterly wasted and normally just bum around so might as well spend that bumming time sleeping lol.

Ooo..i am so dead. Two days to the exams and i haven't even touched my chem plus my bio is still left with all the j2 stuff die!!!! My only consolation is that i finished my physics and should be finishing my maths tonite....still i am so dead...kinda makes me regret having spent so much time scouting this holiday. But i guess given the choice i will do it again...hmmm dun know how i am going to explain poor grades to both the Mrs. Chengs.....die liao....

Lol k breaks over shall get back to mugging bye!

Family

2006-06-22T01:06:00.000+08:00

Heylo people,

Trying to mug late into the night but its obviously not working lol. Getting distracted by the smallest things and spending time just stoning and thinking about all that has happened to me so far this year.

Anyway shall write down some of my thoughts...hmmm how do i start...

Well i guess you guys would have noticed by now that i was absent from school for about 2 weeks during the month of may right? Well if you didn't notice i did!!! For those that still do not know, i was in New Zealand. Now this is something that a lot of you guys do not know...Why i was there...

Hahaha i guess i wasn't really lying when i told you that i was there for a family thingy. To be honest, i was there for my sister's 21st birthday. Lol quite a few would now be thinking i'm mad going all the way there for two weeks, missing school missing my rugby tournament, just to see my sister on her birthday but i guess you have to understand the context. For my family it was more than just a birthday celebration, it was finally a chance to get together. My dad and i had been counting and we came to the conclusion that it has been a full 4 years since my family last got together lol. That would have been since i was 14!!! haha and that had only been for a month i wonder how long it was before that...sigh too depressing to count lol.

Anyway being apart from my family for so long has made me come to realise just how important my family is to me. Till this trip i hadn't seen my dad for two years and when i finally met him i had so much to tell him and yet i didn't know how to say it. He definitely has changed a lot and so have i. It was so weird for the first week, my dad and i where trying to find each other again, the role that we are supposed to play in each other's lives. Than when the whole family got together that was even weirder. We spent a grand total of 40 hours together over the weekend before my brother had to fly back for school, and during this time the first night was easily spent trying to grasp the family lifestyle again. Sitting around watching tv, the next morning waking up and having breakfast together, all these simple pleasures in life were suddenly back with me again. When he left it was such a sad event, i had rarely seen my brother or my father cry for that matter but there we were all 5 of us tearing at the final farewell, how do you put it, the time we spent together just seemed so inadequate.

So i guess i have come to realise the importance of family, when i was a small boy i hated the idea, i questioned my parents love for me and i rebelled. As i got older i questioned why i studied what was the point, what was i studying for, i resented the idea that all along i had actually been studying so that i won't get scolded by my parents. Than by the time i came to realise just what family meant to me it was too late...looking back at the years my family had never been really put together right, all through the years either one of my two parents were missing in my life, a busy work schedule, being sent overseas and now New Zealand. When either of them came back from a long stint away they would always be scolding me trying to cram whatever they wanted to tell me into those few weeks...My childhood could easily have fit into one of those broken family type of situations, sigh things could have gone so wrong for me...but what held me back from going down that route of self-destruction till today i still do not know...all i know now is that my family is out there in the world and no matter whatever it is that i do i am never alone...

What does family mean to you? Cherish it while it still last...don't only realise it when you no longer have your family around you like i did...

memories

2006-06-14T23:17:00.000+08:00

Lol nik whats with the blank blog entry hahaha...

Wanted to tag but realised it was just going to take up to much space. So picking up where i left off:

I guess for me since first off i dun place much emphasis on studies and books, so all that is left is the company. Hence if i do not even have the company than the two years become a waste. Look at it this way, as nik put it all you end up with are memories, memories are something i have too many off and sad to say most of which are ugly and i definitely want to put behind me, but the sad reality about memories are that you can't forget them...your stuck with them.

I have many memories from these two years in hwa chong just as i believe everybody else has, yet if they are nothing but memories than they serve no purpose, maybe only as stories on cold nights with grandchildren. I have met many wonderful people but what is the use if they serve as just something in your past, whats the use of wonderful people if you cannot enjoy their wonderful company and share wonderful conversations. People become just that...people...They exist and you know they exist but it would be like any other person that you pass by along orchard road.

So after two years in Hwa Chong, what are you left with? By my logic the books dun really matter, you dun have friends cause they dun keep in contact, your memories are only mere memories of good times once had.

What do you have? Nothing much...

Adam

PS: This is a personal view so nobody is being forced to the idea. It would be good if you guys could also post your personal views as entries than the blog might just be livened up (:

camps galore

2006-06-12T14:23:00.000+08:00

ahhh...finally back from my second camp...

Was quite stressed can't believe i went through a 4 day 3 night camp on only 7 hours of sleeps! So hectic kept having to organise this and do that. Well its all over now and i can finally get down to studying. Ack i only have 2 weeks left! This is insane!

Anyway back to stuff about studying. I will probably be studying in J8 over the next two weeks. Anybody that is interested is invited to join me. Its up to you guys, cause i know for sure that i have a bit of a problem studying at home alone. Actually i have a problem studying but nevermind i shall have to be disciplined about it this time. Just the night before or something, k?

Besides that i quess nobody is actually interested in visiting this blog since it is awfully dead but nvm. With the help of our blogging regulars such as guys like hao tian, girls like pei qi plus unknowns like nik (just jking :) we might just be able to life the blog out of the grave. Bleahx.

Hi!
I went to Queensway today to settle orders for the teeshirt.
Hmm.
It's $18, which should be o-kay since we collected $20 from you guys right!
hahaa! Hope I didn't get cheated um the guy said he gave me 10% discount ley. UM. I hope it's nice.

And the sizes you all chose, I sorta either scaled them down or up. Cos apparently I fit an XS? So um the smaller girls don't be surprised you're getting a XXS!

Anyway I used my judgement to decide what sizes to scale them to so UH hope you guys don't mind.

Yay! Class tees will be done by next week. I'll get someone to help me carry. Bye!

Mucking about

2006-06-06T21:28:00.000+08:00

Hey peeps,

Well it seems like this hols started off with a blast, what with the junior's chalet than our own class chalet. However things have started to become boring i guess everybody has to get down to mugging eventually.

For those who missed, the chalets were both a blast. We only joined the juniors' chalet during dinner but it was real fun talking and playing cards. They had a barbeque and the food though most of the time was a bit raw was relatively good. After which the brave girls in our junior class actually suggested going up to the old changi general hospital. Hahaha it was quite hilarious. The very same people who were so excited about going were actually debating on whether to go back to the chalet once we reached the hospital. Granted it was dark and all but we were in such a large group that the freakiness was completely taken out of the trip. Nonetheless it was still a wonderful stroll and we got to explore new places.

After getting back to the chalet, most of the people left except for 8 of us. Hahaha spent time just talking next to the fire pit as we munched on the last of the food, followed lots of sparkler playing. We even managed to make the word 7A in sparklers looks quite cool.

After that, we had to go through the tedious task of clearing up the place since it was in quite a mess, ants had decided to invade the living area! The girls were rather evil! They all stood on the sofas and chairs and made the guys mop up the ants but it was still rather fun in an odd way hahaha. After that stayed up till like 5 plus just playing mahjong, heart attack and other lame games. Overall was a wonderful experience and we had lots of fun (:

As for our own chalet it was real fun too. Though in the morning we made a really dumb mistake. Ben had asked us to meet and 9.30, however when we got to the chalet low and behold we can only check in after 2.30!!! So we had to basically waste four hours of our life and money just mucking about bleahx how horrid. however once we got our rooms things went much better. The three of us laid about playing DOA beach volleyball till a few more people came. Than as the rain began to die down, we all marched out to the pasir ris park for some fun. It was real cool, got a chance to roller blade for the first time. KK was really helpful, as he walked beside me when i took my first steps, he kept telling me to fall saying that must not be afraid of falling so quick fall. To be honest sounded more like he wanted me to fall :P Anyway after that changed to a bike and had fun riding around. Poor Hao Tian though, he had a bad fall but luckily didn't get injured. His bike however was a mess as the chain had come off, had to help him fix it back in the end and got my hands covered in the bicycle grease. After that all of us washed up and went off for dinner, had a rather nice zi cai meal just that we didn't know zhi han was joining us for dinner so we order one dish too little i suspect. Nvm just eat more rice i guess! All the guys had second servings of rice. We went back after dinner, it wasn't too bad played with the X box before deciding to watch some movies. Surprising the girls there decided to be brave and we all watch American Pie! hahaha it was real hilarious. Sigh on a sadder note though i had to leave at about ten plus, had a camp the next day. It definitely was a wonderful day, just that it was such a pity it couldn't have lasted longer.

As for my camp it was 4 days 3 nights of hell but i guess since it ain't a class thing shall not waste space on the class blog.

Happy studying people!!! Dun study toooo hard though your brain might just decide to bao! For once i actually can't wait to study however still have another camp this thursday bleahx how horrid!!! I feel the urge to mug!!!

another dose of randomness
from some random person

once upon a time
there was a world full of muggers
and they all died

moral of the story?
the toilet bowl is fresh today yay

'holidays' are here... all of you are busy studying, but pls take time to refresh and rejuvenate yourselves!
remember sleep is important for an alert mind and beautiful complexion!
remember to rest and relax as well...
although im sure that no one will listen to me on that
not that ill listen to myself either

when we finally have the time to enjoy after the Alevels, lets have a nice proper class party k?

Choir Concert!! PQ and Nick and my wonderful gift to karen that Nick's wearing(:

As much as I'm thankful for Mrs Cheng's gift, I can't help being sad about being scammed by Meiji. Look at the diff. b/w the size of the packaging and its content :(

1st time i saw anything like that(: But i didn't have any money with me then:(

Although this is kinda old, but its always amusing to see it when I visit the bugis arcade :)
