Ups and Downs

This week is full of ups and downs. This post in a nutshell: Hari's relationship with a bush snippier is unveiled, the 45th annual speech day and a sad farewell for Ms Soon.

Monday: It's Sashe's birthday. And I would like to wish her a very fulfilling 16th birthday. So anyway, we celebrated her birthday in a "not so ideal" environment - the classroom -.-" You might think, why so unceremonious? Well, I don't know, but I think having a celebration is good enough. Location doesn't matter much, as long it is held in a safe and peaceful environment - so we could safely exclude Iraq and Tibet for celebrations if that's the case. I found out something quite surprising though. Fanny has the same birthday as me - 25th Oct 1992! Haha, though we have the same birthday, we do not share any personalities. She's more outspoken whereas I'm more quiet. Anyway, the surprising thing is that we have known each other since Primary 5 or 6 and it's only after 5 years that I came to know about our common birthday. Maybe she was in the same hospital as me? Who knows?

Anyway, we ate Sashe's delicious chocolate cake which has a really messy feel to it. So whatever, my temptation of chocolates is so great that after school, Me and Cy3lx went to Sheng Shiong to buy some chocolates. I bought a mint choc which consist of 24 small pieces. What shocked me later was the "Nutrition Facts" states that 8 pieces of chocolates contain 55% of our daily fat intake. And by the time I read that, it's too late. I consumed all 24 pieces of it (1 of which entered the digestive system of Cy3lx) So, I'm going to grow fat that's for sure. Who wouldn't when you consumed more than 100% of your daily fat intake.

Here are some of Sashe's birthday party pictures:

Posing for the camera - Try saying cheezze without blowing the flames off :)

In USA news, the NRA chairman Charlton Heston has died. What a timely death too. After seeing the movie Bowling For Columbine, I started to hate that guy for causing grief to families who are affected by shootings. Rest In Pieces loser!

Tuesday: 1 shocking news haunted me at the very start of the day - The NAPFA 2.4KM positions were smeared by the rain. My god, I hope I don't have to re run. I'm not going to anyway because it's not my fault that the rain destroyed the paper. Buger & Gary Tan did not attend lessons because of the school's obsession to get the so called "Singapore Quality Class" award. How ironic of the school to attain such high ranking award in the first place. I certainly see no good qualities in the school. Chemistry was super fun. We went to the field near the chin up bars and started to play a game in accordance to the "Particles affecting the speed of reaction theory". It's more like game's day than a chemistry lesson. Mr Wong blindfolded Li Cheng, Shafiq, Kimi (Raikkonen) and Kat as they walk into each other, wait that's the the right word, right... Bang into each other. Haikal later alerted me to a plastic bag belonging to Mr Wong which contains a pair of socks which was about to be used to blind fold them, but was left out (luckily). We (Me, Haikal, Cy3lx & Nadya) played Danial's Mario Karts on DS and found out that (as usual) women drivers can't drive. In this case, Nadya who went off the track countless of times. Cy3lx wasn't that good either. So don't boast Cy3lx!

The birth of the Singapore's version of Osama
Here kitty kitty... I'm going to catch you! Don't run!
Mr Wong joining the fun

So at the lab, Cy3lx decided to smear himself with Aluminuim powder which kind of make him look like this:
Wednesday: During D&T, Mr Chia decided to pon once again. If the 75% attendance rule is followed, I wonder if he will get suspended? Anyway, for some strange reasons, my D&T book fell down from the second storey and I think it hit Faizal. Opps, sorry. So the relief teacher gave us a test (sigh!) which is incredibly hard. After that Haikal and me played Mario Karts at the back of the class with Danial's Nintendo DS. So fun lor. Meantime, we witnessed real time how Hari's low level of intelligence brought Buger frustration. Bugger called Hari to come out of the class to meet her, but for some "Harish" reasons, Hari couldn't understand what Buger is trying to say and barked countless of times. Buger finally tied an invisible leech around his neck and dragged him away! 3 cheers for Buger for eliminating that severely decomposing heap of rotten junk. So during D&T, Yun Keat told us about the theory of the "Sausage & Carrot" I won't elaborate on that theory though, sorry folks! However, what I can reveal is that Chinese teacher went emo again, he said that he is forced by the HOD to confiscate phones but feels bad because he thinks that we are a bunch of good students. (How right -.-") I feel sorry for him to be in such a pathetic state.

How do we lead a carefree life? Sit like Yun Keat, that's how!
Let's do the tango dance!

So it was speech day rehersal. And band certainly sucked when they beat the drum at a super fast pace that we started to walk like Ms SOON (robot). It doesn't help that BB & GG infront of us are marching at snial's pace. :(

Thursday:
Ms Soon was incredibly hyper today. I find her hyper-ness very strange as she usually act like a emo robot. She joked with us quite a number of times, for example, she told those who are constantly putting their heads on the table that she will "Tie your heads to the fans" Then, at the end of the lesson, she announced her departure from our class as she is reallocated to teach the Sec 5s maths. So sad, now we only have 1 teacher left. No more asking questions that I'm unsure of. Seriously, Ms Soon's departure before Mid Year is TOO SOON! (note the pun). She left us with a goodbye speech cheering us on for our Mid Year exams and O levels. I think she is a good teacher (boring but who cares!) and I think her departure is a REAL LOSS to the class. Anyway, on a very sad note - bye bye Ms Soon! It's TOO SOON to leave now!

Hyper robot - Too SOON!
Anyway, Ck decided not to come for NPCC the day before and he decided to pon school today. Which lead me to create a new name for him - PON STAR! Haha! So, without Ck to talk to for the 2 hr Chinese period, Tyrus and I started to talk about cars. He seems to be very knowledgeable about cars. He mentioned about the Lotus Elise 111R which I have no knowledge of. A check on the net shows that the 111R does indeed exist! Great job Tyrus, now I have a true car enthusiast to talk to! So we went for English after MT and found out that

Anyway, we learnt how to do oral (don't think sick please) from Buger when the strong wind blew the curtains into the path of the fans. Disaster strikes! (well, not really a disaster, but it's interesting) The chemistry of the curtain and fans started producing obscene sounds and the fan started to shake ominously. For a moment I though that the fan is going to drop and there goes the life of the souls underneath it.

Friday: Speech day! We were released at 11.45am today. So anyway, the news of the day is that something happened between Fazul & Ryan. Ryan is in a terrible state of denial as she seemed very happy of what seemed to be a sad situation. It's good to be happy, but please don't take it too far ok Ryan? Anyway, Loo Loo described Leong Peck Yoke as a "White Haired Demonises". LOL! Evil Loo Loo... Gossip so much.

So we could only imagine how she looks like


So I received a photo of Mama Goh dancing. I don't believe it at first, the photo does not show the true Mama's character. I never seen her wear pink and I don't think she will pose for the class. But whatever, here's the photo...

So, before speech day, I went hawker with Aldy & Cy3lx. We came back school to put our bags and went off to hawker again to meet Jum & Justina. Justina, having some cravings for ice cream, wanted to go mac to try out that new Milo Mcflurry. On the way there, we saw that the Moo Moo cows have been put up at the empty field nearby.

Cy3lx- a cow superhero wannabe Went to mac to find out that they do not sell the Milo Mcflurry. Ordered Hot fudge sundae instead. While eating, this transvestite (I presumed he's from Changi) went to the counter & scolded the cashier for not giving her/him straws. Stupid transvestite, she/he is so blind as to not see the straws are located behind her/him. Then the stupid Banglas from our school behind us were blasting typical terrible sounding Bangla music which really annoyed us. Stupid Banglas.

Went back to school only to miss 2 picture perfect car moments. A Nissan GTR R35 just zoomed passed me, and 15 seconds later another Ferrari F430 Spider zoomed passed. So COOL la! 2 nice cars within 20secs. The Nissan GTR R35 is the most value for money sports car around. The Nissan GTR R35 which cost a relatively cheap price of $300 000 is FASTER, yes, FASTER than a Ferrari F430 Spider which cost a whopping $860 000 Talk about good bargains! Since I'm at it, here's the pathetic amount of nice cars I spotted this week.

Lancia Delta Soft Top (in maroon) - Very rare in S'pore. This car used to be the best rally car in the 1980s!Lotus Elise - a resident in my estate owns this. Yeah! Now I get to admire this everyday!
So, I marched in the speech day parade, but not before declining the mee goreng that they gave us for lunch. It looks quite ok, but I ate lunch already and I'm too full for more food. Can I add that Yippe's conducting was way better than Xiao Dan (sorry, that's the inconvinient truth). Yippe was constant and her pace was managable. Special thanks has also got to go to Bass Drummer Ming Jie! After the parade, the hall was fully seated and NPCC had to forgo the concert and were asked to go home instead. But, since it's the only speech day I'll attend, I decided to wait for the agonising Cecilia Lim's talk before entering the hall to watch the concert. I sat at benches at the back of the hall. Meanwhile, I spotted a car that looked exactly like this:

What a beautiful antique car. The car I saw looked exactly like this. Could this be the same car I saw?So, I saw several ex teachers like Lolande, Lesely Leong, Mdm Roslina & Mr Chai.

Justina wants to take over from Lolande as a mother. Too young la Justina! Lonloade to her baby: "You want Mummy manatee or Mummy Justea?"During the Indian Dance and Band performance, everybody went high because of the music. This is an ending that I would not expect. Good job people! So after the concert I went to change out of my stinking NPCC uniform and helped the band people to clear their things. Talked to Ming Zhu for the first time I think. She's quite friendly la. Cy3lx said that she is a car freak too. o.0 Thats interesting, so many car freaks around! So, Xiao Dan wanted to give away her China Mee Goreng to us... Wait, I think there's at least 10 packs of China stuff inside. Nobody took them as it is made by China so we played bumper trolleys instead. Lame!

Went to Orchard Rd after speech day with Kimberely, Aishah, Danial, Ryan & ex student/prefect Marcus. Took bus 111 there. During the ride, as expected, I saw lots & lots of nice cars in Orchard. At one point, there were at least a dozen of Ferraris/Lambogihnis/Porsche parking at Hilton hotel in 2 neat rows! Wasted, it was quite far from our destination Cineleisure. We ate at Burger King only to find out that Ryan lost a wallet AGAIN! She said it was the 2nd time this year! So Aishah and Ryan went on a hunt for the wallet which has little chance of being found. As expected, it could not be found and we donated money to the newly formed "Ryan Charity and Wallet losing organisation".

After that, Aishah alerted me to a passing Ferrari F430 Spider! Thanks Aishah. I would have missed that awesome car if not for you. She commented that her brother also like cars. Cool! Did not know there were so many car freaks around! We went to the empty Scape building where we took some gay pictures:

So, we went to the bus stop later to find out that the bus stop is equipped with the electronic timetable. Cool, but sadly, not very accurate.

Went home by Bus 14. In accordance to the title Ups & Downs, I found out that the lift at Blk 43 in my estate is almost complete! Yeah! It's finally moving up and down :) However, there's still 5 more months before the completion of my block's lift - Sigh!

The almost completed lift at Blk 43
As you would have noticed, I added a song on my blog. If you have any better songs other than what's displayed currently, please place your suggestions on my tagboard! In F1 news, Ferrari got 1st and 2nd for the race at Bahrain! Great job Ferrari! Anyway, I don't think I would be able to post much for the next few weeks because the Mid Year Exams are nearing and I don't want blogging to affect my results too much. So, don't expect weekly posts for the next 3 or 4 weeks at least. But please do visit occasionally as I may spring a surprise on you! So that's all folks. While it's time to say goodbye to Ms SOON, please do not say goodbye to my blog but visit my blog SOON!
