Good 'busy' Friday...

wow...

today was a really busy day... had the second and last day of "Celebrate Life!" Seminar in the morning... i attended a talk on 'Mass Communication" by Ngee Ann Poly, and 'Business Administration' by Nanyang Poly... but both polys ended up talking about their facilities and other courses in the school. lol.

after that, during assembly periods, there was a youth forum on the movie "Freedom Writers" that the whole school went down to watch... ms tang asked germaine and myself to carry out the forum just 1 hour before it!! lol. we were so unprepared that ms chionh ended up running the whole thing.. haha. it was very interesting...

after school, it got really busy... the sec1-3 BB boys gathered to meet mr teo about the milk run on sunday... i was disappointed that most of the sec1s did not stay back and just walked off... anyway, i had a quick lunch with greg after that and went up to the hall for the honours night rehearsal... it got really messy as everyone was all around and i was running around the place.. the UGs had to plan for the traffic control, i had to guide my councillors who would be doing the ushering in the hall and i had to prepare myself to collect my award...

when all that was finally done, i went down to find that pd had not started at all as they were not ready- but playing soccer... hmm.... anyway, we finally started at about 4.15pm... we trained until about 6pm and sent the boys off to go home and rest... i waited for johnson to finish planning the KAH and other stuff for the NDP before going home with him and huda...

yea. overall, it had been a really busy day... as usual... haix...

PD is also getting more active soon... which is a great thing for the boys.. haha.. but i hope that i can have enough of my own time to study... besides the performance for the MILK run on 1st July, we have also just accepted the performance for the "Hillary Challenge" closing ceremony organised by the MOE CCAB which will be held on 15 July... we might also be asked to perform for the BB Cares closing ceremony that should be around that time... another possible performance could be on the teachers day celebrations in september... so the PD schedule is definitely going to be filled up very soon... yup...

thank God for all these, but i'm still praying that i will know how to prioritise...

study now?

What's happening??

i don't really know what's happening recently...

i stepped down from BB in april..
i'm about to step down from council in july...
so i'm supposed to be more free to study right?

WRONG.

i seem to be as busy as ever!!!

i've been helping the PD team during trainings to prepare them for the MILK RUN performance on sunday... there are rehearsals for HONOURS NIGHT coming up tomorrow and next week for the event on friday evening... the following friday after that, there is the 6th STUDENT COUNCIL INVESTITURE, with all the rehearsals on that week as well... then there's the upcoming NDP '07 CELEBRATIONS in our school, where i find myself helping the committee as well!!

not forgetting, i have more important things coming up too... my ENGLISH ORAL PRELIMS this saturday, and my 'O' LEVEL CHINESE ORAL EXAMINATION on wednesday after that!!!

i have no idea what i'm doing!!

i should STOP...

how?

Freedom Writers!!

hey!!

today, the whole school went down to Cathay Cineplex at Dhoby Ghaut to watch "Freedom Writers"!!! i must say, it was a really inspirational and touching movie!!

to give you a better idea of what the movie is about, watch this trailer...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lejN7Ulh10s&v3

this movie trip was a really good experience and i'm really glad that our school continues to organise these trips...

really tired now.. pd training tmr! i really pray that we can go up another level of standard as the day of performance approaches....

for now, Good Night!!

EXCO lunch gathering!!

wow...

today was quite fun... the 5th EXCO went out together to have a lunch gathering...
we settled at New York New York at City Hall!!! we ate a really fulfilling lunch (that cost us $127) and had a nice time of fellowship!!!

during lunch, we unexpectedly saw joel chia from a distance! we realised that he was with xiao min, bryan and jason... haha. they were having lunch too! - but it was at Macdonald's... haha... i think they must have been quite jealous... lol...

anw, after lunch, we went to walk around and unexpectedly ended up at the esplanade!!! we began to admire and appreciate all the artworks there... when the rest walked up the stairs, i thought i would try taking the lift up... but when the lift didn't move, i started panicking and pressing the buttons until it finally moved up to the 2nd floor! gave me such a scare... haha... next time i will just take the stairs...

then we went up to the roof terrace (or terrence, as we called it..) and took lots of group photos! we even asked a foreigner to help us take a photo of our butts!! lol. we also found coloured rocks and drew stuff on the tiles!!! took photos of that too!!

haha.. after that, we went back to Macdonald's at Marina Square to cool off with ice-cream! it was really hot up there at 'terrence'... then janelle was talking about her nalgene when i suddenly thought of the word, "janalgene"... interesting hor... haha... then Alistair, Saman & Jin Shi left, while the rest of us went with janelle to buy kim chi for her mum.. yup.. then after that we walked around Marina Square, then to Suntec, and finally ended up in Carrefour looking for expiry dates of our birthdays.... haha... wonder who's bright idea that was.... lol...

haha... in any case, i think that today's outing was a really meaningful one... we should do this more often! right guys? haha....

for now, its back to studying for the big 'O's....

• Choices have consequences


• One for all, all for one


• If I can't, Then I must


• Do it now, Do it fast, Do it right

i must thank all the Generals & Knight Mentors who have helped to make this camp so successful!! (especially Norman, who was the General for DRAGON!!)

yup. it was indeed something to celebrate about!! in fact it was a "double happiness"!!
haha. 2 June was also the date for this year's Founder's Men Awards Presentation Ceremony!! it was also the first time that it was carried out in a form of a lunch reception at such a grand place! i was really glad that i could spend my birthday with all my BB friends from 27th coy and even some other coys in Singapore! i really enjoyed the 9-course lunch, the fellowship and the memories in the photos that were created and captured then!

after that, when i boarded the bus that was to take us and our parents back to school, i was treated to an unexpected singing of "happy birthday" before we left! haha. it was really touching! :)

when we arrived in school, mr ong talked to us about helping out 27th coy after we leave PHS.. well, it reaffirmed my plan of coming back to serve! amen! then we took a few photos (that i still have not received), before changing back into our casual wear.. then we left school together and took the MRT to Yew Tee..

when we arrived, we took a short walk to Jieyi's place where i watched "Heroes" for a while on Phillip's ipod while the rest of them played cards.. haha.. after that, we went off to the games room in jieyi's condominium as she had booked it from 5-7pm.. i watched more of the exciting episode, then i played some cards (i didn't gamble.. lol.), carom, and most importantly, pool! i almost became the top scorer, i got the black ball (8) in at the end! ok fine, so what if i got the white ball in after that? lol.

anyway, these were the 16 people that came for my 16th birthday party!! lol.
Jieyi, Jia Hui, Jiang Wei, Hong Zhen, Gregory, Kennedy, Yong Chun, Zheng Jie, Wei Li, Benjamin, Kai Sheng, Joshua, Jun Ning, Phillip, Keqin and Jeriel!
Thank you, guys! everyone of you guys made a difference in my life!! :)

after a great time of fun & games, we returned back to jieyi's house where i got some gifts from them! (i shall list them out later) haha. then we went to Lot 1 for dinner! we had planned to eat together, but we decided that it was too crowded and had to split up. immediately, jiahui suddenly grabbed me along to bring me for dinner! i got a shock because we hadn't told them where we were going yet (and i had no idea where he was taking me at first)! but in the end i called keqin and told him where we were. we were at PIZZA HUT! i only had 2 dollars left! lol. i was totally taken aback when jiahui told me that he was going to treat me without hesitation! i really enjoyed that meal (although we ordered a "Hut's Couple Meal" that felt really awkward)...

we had planned to go to a "K-Box" thing after dinner, but then they realised that it was too expensive and quite late too! so in the end, we went to the arcade!! and we played some games and the one that i especially liked was "Bishi-Bashi"!! we played until our palms hurt from all that whacking! haha. there were 7 people whacking at that machine! lol.

on our way back home after that,

JIAHUI RECORDED A "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" SONG FOR ME
