thursday, 7 sept 2006

5.07pm
2 people enter Suntec City Convention center. they wonder aimlessly around all the levels of the place, checking out the preparations for the IMF meeting.

5.20pm
they drop a bag under an escalator in a dark corner and walk off to Suntec city.

5.30pm
the 2 people walk into times bookshop and takes a look at the books there. one of them picks up a baby blues comic and starts to read while the other goes on to look at the inspirational books.

7.00
they finally buy a book and go to marche for dinner.

7.30pm
sirens of police cars and fire trucks were heard. they look out the window and see a long line of them drive past.

7.40pm
the 2 finish their dinner, pays and walks out of the retaurant. they head back to the convention center camly to their car. as they approached the convention center, there were a lot of police officers and firemen were running up the escalator with the hose. they were evacuated out immediately. seems that it was merely an evacuation exercise to prepare for the IMF world bank meeting in case of an emergency. they hadn't been discovered.

7.45pm
they get in the car and drove off, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

that was me and my dad.

LOL. just kidding.
ok, not entirely kidding, cos everything was true. that was what we did on thursday.

everything except the part at 5.20pm. haha. that was what me and my father was joking about, cos that place was like super dark and no one can see wan lah. if something were to be placed there no one would notice it. they better be careful of that place man.

***
ok, that was crap. anyway..

WHOO!! last friday was the nicest dazu i ever had! except for the fact that there were absolutely no seniors. but that was what made it exciting. haha.

we went into LT for dazu, 5 cellists, 2 basses, out there on our own. my heart was thumping super hard, didnt know what to expect then. dont believe, ask mayping. haha.

it was super awkward when we had to tiao2 yin1, cos everytime is we see seniors do, then we do. haha. then ju song started, and we waited for our turn to come in. so scary if we came in at the wrong place. but luckily we didnt lah of cos.

then TTK came in. we were DOOMED, or at least, I was.
he started going on and on about the proverb he saw in the canteen, and then suddenly, he asked who here plays the piano. being one of natural musical talent (lol), i put up my hand.

that was when i regretted doing so. but i dont regret being honest, admitting that i do play the piano. haha.

anyway, he looked round the whole LT, and seeing that there were so many people who also played the piano, HE HAD TO CHOOSE ME! so.. he asked me, (change to unicode please, unless you're alien and can read weird characters)

TTK: 你学钢琴是学乐器吗？ (when you learn to play the piano are you learning to play an instrument?)
poor me: 是. ( yah)
TTK: 好，那你学华乐是学乐器吗？(ok, so when you're in the orchestra are you learning an instrument?)
poor me: *being of low chinese IQ, i didnt understand him* 是，嗯，不是. (yes, ehh, no.)
TTK: *i don't know which part he didnt catch, but..*哎哟！(aiyoh!) blah blah blah blah..
poor me: huh? what did i say?

and from then on, anything he had to ask, he asked me. BLEARGH!!

but anyway, we played well! seriously, i thought i'd never hear this but i did, we were very organised and together actually. haha. and TTK PRAISED US ~~while he was scolding all the other yuezus~~!! haha. but for chun1, we almost died cos he was going so fast! but we just tried our best and we survived! and TTK didnt say anything about us also. even when he told xianyue that their yinzhun was bad, we initially REALLY thought that he was gonna turn around and say that ours was bad too, BUT HE DIDNT! haha.

he praised basses too! he said that they were 蛮好的，不错. haha.

so overall, i think we did our seniors proud, especially and guanyang, cos of jian3 tao3. WE DID IMPROVE WITHIN THAT WEEK and gained back our ?standard?. lol. but anyhow, we deserve a pat on our backs for even surviving dazu alone. haha.

oh, and i was lingzou, hehe. XD.
geneve be proud of me i led them well! lol.

conclusion: sitting in front is exciting.
lucky samuel, he'll get to experience the excitement next dazu.

i still cannot believe that Steve Irwin is dead.
he actually died.
killed by a stingray while filming "Ocean's Deadliest"
it sure was deadly. It killed him.

omgosh. his life doesn't exist on the planet anymore. gone?
how can it be?!
he helped ahmeng eat her medicine to cure her constipation.
he helped capture the biggest dunno what kind of crocodile he's ever seen for it's first medical checkup in singapore zoo.

he's dead?!
so no more 'hi there mate'
no more super strong australian accent
no more short brown pants
no more laughing at his carelessness getting bitten by animals

omgosh! so sad!
he still has a wife and two very young children.

can you imagine watching another Steve Irwin show, knowing the man on the screen is not around anymore?
ok, so it's very normal for such things. but it's still so hard to get used to now!

omgosh. i still cannot believe it.
can't believe the person i used to watch catch crocodiles on tv when i was young is gone.

byebye crocodile hunter.

hope nothing similar or worse happens to Jeff Corwin. Ok, anti-climax! nvm.

***

ok, on a lighter note, I GOT BACK MY CELLO EXAM RESULTS!

a fail, just means that you haven't gotten the pieces or scales as good yet, so you just have to practise more and try again, like my brother did, though after so many tries, he never did pass.

a pass, just means you've gotten hold of the pieces and scales and done as required and expected for the grade.

a merit, just means you've put in a lot of effort for the grade and have done very well.

a distinction, is merely another name they give for another level just to fill up the remaining marks cos they accidentally made the gap between the pass and merit too wide. they didnt know what to do with it so they gave it another name which really means nothing.

serious.

a pass is good enough. HEY, you've passed and can go on to the other grades. you've passed the stupid extra stuff that's blocking you to whatever diploma or grade 8 that you want to achieve next time. the other names in the result is just for show. it makes no difference to what you want to achieve next time. it doesnt hinder you to go on.

understand?

nod and say yes. or at least give me a sign that you know lah.
aiyoh.

oh man.. i really miss primary school.

at first i thought my memories of primary school had almost faded away, but seems that i had the best memory among everybody. haha. memory as in the ability to remember.

anyway, we went back to qiaonan again yesterday! didnt expect that so many other people went back too. the other classes, the sec 1s, and even the upper sec people who dont usually go back. my bro's classmates also went back lor, but he didnt lah as usual. lousy. haha.

oh it felt so good seeing everyone again. winnie, eli, christine, yeesee, leping, liting, sheena, jolene, wanying, clara, leon, sean, khairul, adeeb, asaad, munawar, ridzuan, meiqi, ziyee, and alot more lah, and of cos, the teachers too.

the school changed alot too!! the obvious one is the colour of the building. why must every school building be of the same colour as their uniform? anyway, the canteen looks different too, the trophies were moved there, above our heads, so scary, GOT COMPUTERS TOO!! they can actually surf the web there lor! why didnt they put that earlier?!! but the only thing is that the wallpaper looks so disgusting, makes people lose appetite. lol.

the general office became super nice, the teacher's R&R room also super duper nice!! i want to go in!!!

ms tang and ms tan would ABSOLUTELY LOVE the toilets. the lights are automatic! got sensor, they only on when people go in. save so much electricity! but the wall papers outside the toilet so flowery, so disgusting. haha.

alot of the teachers changed too. the only teachers left that ever taught us or had something to do with us other than camp are mr ee, mr ong, mr tan, mr heng, ms chua, mr yap, mr zaf, mdm wong. haiz. sad.

but the worst thing is... MR YAP IS LEAVING NEXT YEAR!! so no more P5 camp!!! noooo!!!! no more rock climbing, no more belaying, no more campfire, no more flying fox, no more CRC, no more singing, no more washing plates, NO MORE (SOLO)NIGHT WALKS!! no more vampire jokes to keep our minds off of the dark, no more reunion of camp leaders.

AAAHHHH!!!
at least i have a collection of all the shirts and the camp booklets. 1 ugly p5 NEshirt, 2grey 2 yellow and 2 turqoise camp leader shirts.

i guess the only thing that never changed is the canteen stalls and vendors. haha. and the stall holders remembered us! haha. so nice. and can you imagine, there was 1 stall that we never went to. for 6 years, we, or at least, me, have never bought food from there before. haha. we just stood in front of the closed stall, kept quiet, and stared up at the food menu thingy. then sean suddenly broke the silence, "i never buy food from this stall before leh." haha.

anyway, the BEST thing about going back is... VISITING OUR CLASSROOM AGAIN!! at first we went into the lower primary classrooms, cant believe we were once that small, so mini! the tables and chairs so low so small! sean was really shocked, haha, just sat there and stoned, then he suddenly screamed. haha.

then we went back to our excellence 1 classroom, but now they changed to virtue 1, which i dont know is what level, P5 i think. wow, i didnt know dhs classrooms were so small. haha. our classroom was so big, lol. me and leon started remembering all the fun times in D.A. 2 years ago, the sign languages and 'K'! HAHAHAHA!

like winnie said, once bad always bad. khairul and sean started erasing all their notices on the whiteboard and writing stuff all over it. although we did leave some messages that this was our class in '04, they wrote the topics that we were learning in their subject section! it was funny lah though. haha. simultaneous equations, pythagoras' theorem, trigonometrical ratios and blah blah blah under maths and atoms and molecules, chemical equation under science. they even put the you know whats under science also at first, but we erased it later lah. haha. cannot jiao huai xiao hai zi.

then we went to play bball in the court in the rain! hahaha. play and play until mr yap came to tell us to stop. haha. he asked us to look at the sign that said no playing in the rain that we apparently forgot was there. lol.

we went back to the canteen the chat.

then we went to century square to take neoprints. haha. so funny, 9people squeeze.

saw sop and roseline on the way then went back. haha.

***

haiz. i really really miss primary school. although now i still laugh alot, but primary school jokes were the best, haha, with leon, eli, winnie and christine. lol. we'd joke about anything at all, no insults, no telling what to do, no grudges, no offences and no fear of being left out whatsoever.

primary school also not so much problems. everybody just play play joke joke, no need to worry about anything. after school we would stay back to either talk until the servant had to chase us out, then we would still go the the void deck to continue, or we would stay back to play murderer or some other stuff, or we would just keep playing bball in the court, or we would go to the playground opposite to play until one day teacher had to come to punish us and... that was one bad memory. nevermind.

we didnt really have to worry much about studying also. not as much tests then as now. work also was much easier, i didnt remember studying for PSLE, haha. really. but the only thing is that sometimes there was alot of homework and i would do until very late at night. now is the same, but just that its cos i start late. haha.

innocence is the best man. the innocent days. haiz. winnie is still as innocent though. haha.
eva the best! hahaha!

in the staff room when talking to the teachers, cos she was very small sized, she was standing under khairul.
eva: darling! his armpit very smelly!!
eli: come here lah! *pulls her out*
eva: *struggles*

then...
eli: *talk talk talk talk talk*(as usual, lol.)
eva: darling, you spit out alot of saliva leh!

now, all of us have changed in one way or another, but overall, we still are pretty much the same. thats why we still click and have so much fun together! duh, haha.

oh we had so much fun together yesterday, i never felt that happy in 2 years. primary school just feels different from secondary school somehow.

it was good to remember the good days again.

the reminiscence.
