Singapore Social Network Updates

june 2006: rv moved in
november 2009: rv moves out, to boon lay.
3.5 years have since passed.
wow time flies. rawrrr.

i suppose for my batch it's what most sec 4 students have to go through: new campus.
as much as i'll miss the malan road campus, i'll remember dearly the memories during 1/2^oC and 3/4Dots (:
the times in conference room, (container) classrooms, science labs, toilets, com labs, canteen, canteen swing, library, lecture theatres, field, grandstand, bball/tennis/volleyball/netball courts, staircase.
d.p.s, long lectures about TFU & ASK, curriculum lessons (and dozing off too!), slogging out during hols in com labs and so many more....
everything'll be different in the new campus i suppose?

somehow im looking forward and not looking fwd to it too.
the scenery here is damn perfect. cool tall looking buildings x2 and very very windy mornings (:
besides, we're the only school located in th alexander area i suppose.
those above are stuff that the boon lay campus can't give us.
esp when ppl ask, "where's ur campus right now" and the easiest understandable reply would be, "alexander there ah; opposite HP and NOL yah u know?"
what we get in boon lay? smoky vehicles in the morning, and schools/HDBs everywhere. and stuck in between so many other schools like sandwiches. =.=
probably this would be what it means by "the grass is always greener on the other side."

tmr i shall take some last pics of rvhs in malan road campus, aka. former sajc campus.
and hopefully take one cube of th rvhs signboard too? XD
it'd be the last day of school, literally in our current malan road campus. )':

----

on the other hand, start of a jc life, in a brand new campus!

Sighs, I'm missing 4Dots '09 already.... D: D:

All the stuffs throughout these two years such as the spoilt aircon, the clock that has no cover, screwed speakers, blackbird from next door...

All of us will never be in the same classroom at the same time anymore, especially when the fun was just starting to build up after the EOYs like watching CSI: Miami, ji-go-ba, 终极密码, 猜拳 and so on.

First was retirement ceremony for Mrs Brenda Law, saw some past photos of teachers (LOL!) and not forgetting Mr Hor and his 1999 photo! So cute lah ;D

It's scary though, cse even Mrs Law's baby photos were inserted into the video. O.O

After which the prize presentation was pretty bored, stoned there for x hours. Luckily there wasn't any bilingual speech.

However I'm curious though how come they're giving Academic Awards for 2008 in 2009?

Whatever.

Then there was this ppt about the school history, some crap like last ppt in Malan Road campus hall.

But the thing was that her ppt was a simplified version, then say 55th anniversary continue with more. So zhun we're still in Yr 6. =.=

So after that went back to class, shown the class video, and gotten presents from 郭老师 (one for everyone and one for treasurers :D) and a survey + 2 candy empire chocs from Mrs Yuen (even the non-phy students got it too haha) :D

谢谢！

People! I'll try to upload the video sometime soon yeah? ^^

Finally we received our report slip - 3.3! :D

Walao ehhh SCS go die lah, and yay HCL not C grade or below anymore omg!

Happy for GPA but sad too cse we're splitting classes... )':

Lol apparently the 3-5 lines of FT's Remarks were written by our dear LA teacher Mr Hor :D

No wonder he once said on Facebook that he "works closely with GLH and ALY".

After school, 21 of us boarded 97 heading to Marina Sq direction, though I forgotten how many ppl actually ate at Seoul Garden.

Haha I was sitting with Yikai, then adjacent table was Liu Yi, Jeffry and Mu Wei.

Apparently our two tables are the no-green zone, meat only! XD

Oh yes, Mu Wei and Yikai thought Seoul Garden was a garden like Chinese Garden. (Y)

Feasted quite a lot, tried all the ice-cream flavours an dumped vege into the fire (literally).

Not to forget I tried cooking a half-boiled egg but ended up sucking the yolk and white using a straw cse the egg white's outer layer was quite hard...

Somehow after the 3rd time they changed the pan the fire extinguished for no reason at all, but we weren't cooking liao so nvm lol.

Ultimately we had the usual ji-go-ba, 猜拳, and th loser has to eat a piece of vege to clear them (wastage got charge mah...)

In the end when we finished the vege we tried strawberry ripple ice-cream prawn.

Extremely delicious! Even after peeling the shell the sweet smell is still there, kindda taste like 麦片虾.

ROARRR could have eaten much much more aha but ohwells it's a class outing after all so go with th class lor.

Took class photos at Seoul Garden by getting those outside to pose at the window.

A few of them went home earlier though, and then the few of us left took even more photos outside. 全家福 bah :D

After which Shu Wei, Jeffry, Yunhan, Kendrick and I went to Sharon's hse to play Bridge. LOL!

Stayed there until 6.30+, then played w the lift where Kendrick and Jeffry takes turn to outrun the lift to the next floor, or two floors down for Kendrick (and he anticipated that!)

Heh I lazy only ran the first part from 13th floor to 12th only.

Yalah after that nth much liao lor...

4D '09 SHALL PREVAIL!

要赢我们是不可能的咯！

Another archive post coming right (below).

[NSC]

Started the day by meeting up with Adriel and Jeffry at Dover MRT station, then walked to SP for the buffet. XD

Then uhhh Jan Lin came too, so that he can give a "last-min prep session" for the 3 of us.

How nice though, he was there for the food! -.-"
Frankly speaking, NOI's food was much much better. -wide grins-

So while we were inside NSC programming for two hours, Jan Lin took the courtesy of walking arnd-cum-eating for a full two hours of breakfast.

And yes, we learnt not to use the uber-new Toshiba tablet PCs for programming ARGH.

The keys on the keyboard are spread out so neatly like an ordered table that it was so difficult to type urgh.

Blegh screwed up on my question with insane number of for and while loops and still didn't manage to solve it. (Well I used vars from 'i' all the way to 'm'. -.-)

After th comp, food again! (Unfortunately, no pork or eclairs :/)

Strolled arnd then went to the prize-giving ceremony, not before hearing a talk on courses offered at SP...

18 teams, 9 awards for Algo section. Sweet.

At first we thought we couldn't win anyth, after the 7th to 9th teams were announced, then there was the Merit award (4th to 6th) that all 3 of us were (kind of) caught by surprise hahahaha.

Trophy + digital photo frame.

Not to mention Jan Lin getting the digital photo frame too for impersonating as a teacher, given to all teachers.

[NJRC Finals]

So same thing went to Sci Centre for the Finals, but once I reached there I saw a whole grp of RVCC peeps sitting near the audience stands liao - blegh meaning that all the mission runs had alr ended.

There was the Facebook gang, the mahjong gang, the cards gang and the mugger gang too!

So while waiting for prize ppt to start we went inside Sci Ctr and hang arnd.

Blegh some of the juniors were uber-childish lorh. -.-

After which it was ppt time, sat there staring at the stage...

This year they gave the Championship Award halfway into the ppt, prob because the GOH (Mr Iswaran) had to leave early. =.=

Congrats to Marvin's team yeah :D

Though Marvin would be happy and sad at the same time cse after th ppt he was gang-raped by many many juniors. =.= praying mantis seh..

After which the whole gang of us (26 or 28 can't rmb) went to JP Ajisen.

Whoa at first we scared they not big enough but inside we managed to sit one entire row + two more tables!

Super spacious lo.. but also not many people eating at that peak-hour timing too. -.-

Then I shared with GSM the Tom Yam set, and we both koped from those who couldn't finish too. XD



Li Wei's cute pose!

After that Justin, Kwan Ki, Li Wei, Wei Jie, Yi Sheng treated us to ice-cream (some sort of seniors treat juniors thingy haha).

Huge thanks to th 5 seniors :D :D

Come to think of it, I've not seen any seniors before Jan Lin's batch though, and it was nice hearing that Jan Lin's batch was the first batch to start the end-of-year chalet thingy too ahahaha :D



The remaining ones left - with Li Wei sacrificing himself to take the shot for us :D

Haha i've got a sudden urge to type this when i should be mugging...

[ICES Open House]

Well I reported to Sci Ctr directly in the morning instead of going to school then coming back up to Sci Ctr...

Ended up Qing Hua got scolded by Mrs Lee back in school, cse he called me then i said i'll be at Mac in half an hour's time (i wna go see NJRC mah), then Mrs Lee thought I haven't reach Sci Ctr (while all of them are still in school =.=) and flamed QH for not asking me to hurry to Sci Ctr asap. =.= SORRY QING HUA!! :X :X

So after that when everyone came via school bus we lagged there for some time, courtesy of the oh-so-efficient Sci Ctr.

Meanwhile we were told that no cams allowed, gahh i didn't expect Jurong Island (JI) to be such a high "secretive" area...

Finally some Sci Ctr guy came, and we boarded their bus to JI, cleared Checkpoint to get our sticker passes...

Heh JI is so cool, in terms of how it was actually set up and located away from main island, and yet with such complete infrastructure. :D

So reach there, walked arnd their exhibition panels, then went to ICES.

Haha we are apparently all attracted to the sight of food when we saw a mini-buffet table. -winkswinks- :D

"We're breeding 贪吃鬼..." - Mrs Lee -applause-

So at ICES hall we listened to a ppt by a prof, then went to a booth behind the hall.

Liquid nitrogen ice-cream! :D

Hahaha that guy made a few bowls of it, using different cereals each time. :D

It's very crunchy, not those industrial creamy type - we were all attracted to the booth having a few cups per person. :D

Unfortunately liq. N₂ isn't sold in the market for safety reasons. =.=

Then thr's actually another booth that we didn't wander arnd for long since we were stuck at th ice-cream booth, it was about some cell that produces electricity.

After the fun it was time to tour the facilities, after wearing our lab coats and safety goggles.

OMG their safety goggles is totally transparent, see-through!

Their lab coats also very nice lorh, very white and we all look so professional after putting them on. XD

So then tour arnd the place, see the equipments....

AND WE SAW THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE ACTUALLY WANTED TO USE FOR OUR CID PW (but the school didn't have it) :X :X -green with envy-

Saw this particular equipment (dno for what alr), then the metal pipes inside still have Teflon coating seh, very smooth interior and expensive too...

But well i suppose money's not an issue to them yeah? ;P

Then after the tour it was time for the Refreshments (as they call it; ie. lunch):

虾胶, 烧卖, mini-choco muffin and spring rolls :D

So after that boarded the bus back to Science Centre...

[NJRC Prelims]

After that reached at arnd 5 and managed to see the teams doing Run 2.

The audience seats were kind of.. empty, like less than one-third filled.

It's a new experience though, watching the runs from the outside of the fence rather than on the inside... D:

Heh the emcee even named one of RV's robots as "terrorists" because of the imba ball mechanism. :D :D

After which the day ended and a few of us went to JP Pepper Lunch for dinner (we had Justin there too! :D)

So yeah, the end, nth to write about le :O

[04/09]

Arh, soccer is violent LOL, when you're not supposed to attack the goalkeeper lo ><

Gahhhhh become goalie then kenna whack on the side of the forehead twice lo. :x

Blegh blegh blegh ><

HAHAHAHA MVP LAH XD (Most Violent Player!!) -.-

Tse Sin, of course! ;P

HAHA long time nvr update, nth much either -.-

Chapteh n paper ball competition was zzz, we didn't know that the "practise" session was the competition LMAO -.-

So kick here kick there and see teachers kick them too LOL...

(No offences to anyone about the line below.)
Well, probably today's celeb was one of the rare well-received events planned by SCs...

EXCEPT... for the video, quite shaky and zzz... No offences though.

Considering that it should be a rush job (sai gang AGAIN) and Natasha has NJRC vids and stuffs to do...

Sighs why are they always so kind to do sai gang for them, wna do vid might as well they learn n do larh!

Heh the celeb was more of a concert for teachers.

Apparently all the singing sounds better with my ears covered, still can hear the lyrics clearly and the music too, and does not hurt my ears. =.=

Yan Shan's singing surprised me ROFL, to think of it it has been a long, long time since I ever talked to any 2C ppl except for Shu Wei, Zheng Xiao and Katherine... :x

David was err... a pop star! XD

OMG the best part was still RV's very own Wonder Girls (and guys too! XD)

The dance moves and singing for Nobody But You (Y) (Y) (Y)!

Super super high pitch lo IMBA LARH!

Classical moment lo, should have filmed it down O.O

About the photos slideshow.. I dare anyone to show the photo of *hem* doing the Bugs Bunny sign lo -.-

Then ending was a perf by a teacher whose voice damn high pitch, can't rmb his name though, aiya every year he also sing some gay gao1 ying1 songs.

Kendrick was right to add the word "hopefully" to the supposedly 10.30 dismissal time on the whiteboard - ended at 11 =.=

After the concert rot in class a while, HOR International Airport was back up for business.

Planes flying here and there and everywhere!

Visitors are not immuned to the homing planes. :D

Then left school with Zheng Xiao and Kendrick, after they placed the teacher's day card in the pigeon holes.

URGH 02/09 got so many thingy on larh - HSK briefing, NSC training and Shooting too TMD =.=

So after we reached Vivo we went to find the group.... as usual in outings the time taken to choose the lunch destination is about the time taken to queue and eat (apparently Garfield's Law doesn't apply here).

Ended up eating at Yoshinoya the salmon bowl, gahhh not full..

Then Kendrick n I queued up to buy rice balls (or whatever u call that) but so zhun4 at our turn the counter staff went to clear trays cse not enough trays to use. WTH O.O

Then entered the cinema before the ads started, damn early lo.

People who went: Cheryl, Sey Chee, Jesslyn, Tse Sin, Shu Yinn, Sharon, Yunhan, Pei Zheng, Sandra, Abigial, Yan Ran, Bi Jun, Zheng Xiao, Kendrick, Jason and me.

But still not half of the class.. only 16 out of 38.. -.-

The Proposal was BLEGHX, makes me feel comedy movies aren't worth the money, probably because I like interesting plots bahh kekex....

Zzzz so many sexual references and the movie was just rated PG HMMMM, wonder how they rate movies LOL O.O

Nth to talk abt the movie anyway.. just a woman who proposed to a guy so that she could extend her visa to stay in US (she's a Canadian; wtv heck) then lalala scam wedding, cancelled it off, then realised that they loved each other through the process.

So 千篇一律 lo.......

Naturally after that left home, then I walked walked around JP.

GAHHHH I'm broke after the first sch day of the week, somemore half-day only -.-

Well, until the end of the session the F1 scoreboard just crashed - with the big red words "Please Wait..."

Here's what BBC reports [Hungary GP qualifying as it happened]:

...

BBC Sport's Sarah Holt on Twitter: "So funny to hear the drivers asking each other what times they had after qualifying to decide the grid. A bit like school sports day."

...

From anon via text on 81111: "This is a fantastic idea for qualifying! Don't tell them the results until race day!"

...

1424: Such is his desperation to find out who's on pole, Alonso even goes up to former McLaren rival Lewis Hamilton to ask what his time was. We're still waiting for any confirmation of the final placings. Bernie Ecclestone is chatting amiably to the drivers. "Do they have the times somewhere?" asks a bemused Sebastian Vettel. Bernie shrugs his shoulders. This is chaos - and I love it.

1422: Ha ha ha. They should do this more often. Brilliant. Fernando Alonso has parked up and is asking all the other drivers what their times were. The Spaniard doesn't know he's on pole.

1421: FERNANDO ALONSO ON POLE FOR THE HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX

1420: Chequered flag is out - AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO'S ON POLE! The timing system at the Hungaroring has gone blank... No, hang on, it's Fernando Alonso...

1. PE lesson

Urgh medicine ball - 4kg de for Kendrick and me.. Heng lah, 5kg i cfm buay tahan de =.=
Throw here throw there, then for same strange reasons after PE i went to bounce the basketball and erhem..
It feels like NOTHING HAHAHA (no serious, it feels like a netball/volleyball - super cool sia ROFL) xD

2. Class movie outing! - Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Whoah, by far it should be considered the most successful class outing (beside the chalet, not counted) - 17 ppl xD
Some non-Geog students went to buy tickets at 1, in case later no seats heh.
Yay thanks to Qing Hua the tickets was $7, cheaper by 50cts heh (:

The newest movie in the Harry Potter franchise is so-so lah, kindda makes me wonder at the end how the producers manage to drag for 2.5 hrs without much exciting content though.
Hmm perhaps that's why they added so many scenes of kissings blahblahblah...
Haha the two chars in this HP acted in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street too - the Dark Lord follower (Beadle Bamford in ST) & Bellatrix (Mrs. Lovett in ST).
Perhaps got freaked out once during the movie - when the Death Eaters were after Ginny.
I'd agree with the reviewers, this movie ii=s just the setting for the final fightings, me wouldn't give a high popcorn rating either ><
Just not tt exciting bah, so few spells and Quidditch matches heh, perhaps it's becse if th content in the book too.)
Haha i'd love to watch the next HP movie, hopefully it'd be more action-packed hurhur, the fightings and spell-ings.

Ahh, nothing much to blog about recently..
But yeah, RVCC Camp was super fun, being facilitators for the station games, The Amazing Race and night trail.
RVCC ROCK ON!! :D :D

Reached school in hse tee super early at 6.40 [supposed to meet at 7], but Shu Yinn alr there le lor ><
Waited until Com Lab 1 and LT3 open and started to do final preps for TAR uh..

The weatherman predict cloudy weather for the day so just printed both the actual program and the wet weather program on both sides of the paper, which later caused some confusion -hem hem-

Replaced the stones for the Bucketful of Stones with 2 by 4 LEGO bricks.
Pasted the labels for the clue envelopes, letters for the bricks and sorting stuffs for different stations yeah.
Not to forget ripping off the pages of the Sci Ctr magazine as the backing for the Minesweeper Flags cover papers.
All before everyone [except station masters and team leaders] were supposed to reach at 8.30 rahhh.
Yet didn't manage to complete everything by the time ice breakers were supposed to start though. D:

So for ice breakers Ser Ming and I were assigned to Sylvia [Selenium], Li Zhen [Platinum] and Magdalene [Zinc]'s groups.

The Jumping Names game was about sian though - everyone was lagging, and all keep calling Clive.
"__, Clive"

After that was the HA-HA Game, ended quite fast though, since they were hmm, rather "cold"?

Then we played the Questionnaire Game, asking their favourite RV teacher, fav colour, ideal job, how many children do they want to have and when would they want to get married.
The two jokers Justin and Kenneth wrote same answers: hot pink, toilet cleaner, -1 children, to get married now -.-
Haha, the forfeits were so LOL-ish, started off with Terence running around the Hall waving his hands and shouting that he dunno about his ideal hob, then got pumpings, hold hands and spin etcetc.
Shan Ju shouting "I Love Ying Ho" to Ying Ho [duh]..
Me and Ser Ming wanted to zheng3 Sylvia lo, cse Terence and her like white so we made the forfeit for the two to touch nose-to-nose for 10 seconds for both groups [of 3] to see.
Ended up they didn't manage to guess Terence so plan failed grrhhh. =.=
Ended off the Game with all 9 teams doing forfeit by doing the peel banana dance, with Bernard in the centre. HAHAHA ;D
Hmm, just realised while typing this that we didn't played the "IT" Game.. Sorry D:

After that was station games - Jun Kang, Kiat Peng and I were in charged of the 500 miao bu NG game.
2 ppl skip rope twice consec, bouncing ball to another person with the head, drink 600 mL in one mouth [supposed to be 500 mL - but Ice Mountain bottle got "20% extra =.=], transport a huge water balloon, eating potato chip from the nose, transport table tennis ball, creating a line of 25 [?] metres and finally blowing a balloon till it bursts.
Quite fun managing the station though - especially the line of whatever things they have on them.
Wallets, handphone, shoes, socks, shoelaces, bottles..
Then Cheng Yu that auntie went to take out all his notes and cards from his wallet.. damn long can >< AHAHAHA ;P

Then when the station games ended we went to Hall to play a game of "Elope".
Then Jun Kang and Melissa always tio "cut" and always win, except the last one when everyone purposely block them lo HAHAHAHAHAHA ;P

After the "Elope" game we started preparing stuff for TAR at HortPark.
Big confusion as to the labelling on the clues.. SORRYSORRY D: [i know i was going crazy at that time]
I was the "station master" for the starting point [Alexander Arch] - Sudoku.
Then Sylvia's team Selenium was the first to leave after 6+min, totally stunned when they hand me their Sudoku paper can.. ><
Then the last three teams to depart sian diao - went to play the odd-one-out hand game, so stagger their timing by 2 min each, last team leaving at 28 min 30 sec heheh.
Gahh Shu Yinn and my station is the fastest one, cse we forgotten to bring the Ziplock bags to waterproof the clues so teams just end up crossing a distance only - one team even completed in less than 70 seconds -.-
Sighs, then after the race we realised that Edmund and Liang Hui's station lost 13 of the LEGO parts, what an unlucky number. -.-
Then that loser Ser Ming went to give wrong List of items [the wet weather one], after that found out that he gave Ming Sheng the wrong ones he go give others the wrong one too, ended up teams can't find the items lahh - didn't get to zheng3 teams for the red lamp post marking thingy. ><
Lunch at HortPark was not really a proper one - have to stop eating when teams come, quite good though, potatoes [i'd prefer the eggs though heheh ;P], long beans and pork...
Gahhh while the entire race was supposed to last 4 hours, Magdalene's team [Zinc] came in first after 70+ min. =.=
Then the last team came within 100 min lo sighh, expected the race to be wayyyy longer :X

So since we were ahead of time everyone gets to play ball games while a few of us went to tabulate the scores.
After that went to play some random ball game - just keep the ball in the air - by foot or hands, anything. Senior team against junior team LOL. ;P
Then played human bowling - us seniors acting as pins and juniors rolling the ball.
At first only 6 ppl, then 10 ppl came.
Most of the time Jun Kang was the "first" pin lo, then if he gets hit everyone has to fall down too..
HAHAHA it was damn funnnn cann, although dunno why HAHAHAHAHA
Next time we should play Human Bowling during chalet? :D

After that heard Mr Seetoh telling stories about his NS life - ppl getting called by body parts, and the screwed uniform nametag guy, while everyone was taking turns to bathe...

So went back to LT3 to slack and finally Ser Ming, Liang Hui, Edmund, Jun Kang and I get to bathe after all the teams finish lo, then came out to have chicken rice dinner.
The chicken damn little lo, but hey what more can we expect for $2 [or even less].
Next time need lobang for chicken rice can go find us liao HAHAHAHAH ><
Then while we were eating, ___ was leaning on the railings facing field with butt pirched out, then Shu Yinn wanted to shoot rubber band at it [Ser Ming's idea] but ___ turned around and didn't find out MUAHAHAH...
Aiyo, Shu Yinn arhh you damn evil can heheheh ;P

After finished eating, slack some time on the track then went back LT3 for Ex-Co handover and watch movie.

P: Zhi Jie
VP: Kristalynn
Logistics Head/Treasurer: Mei En
Secretary: Sylvia
Robo Head: Ming Sheng
Multi Heads: Cheng Yu and Natasha
Yr 3 Level Head: Li Zhen
Yr 2 Level Head: Magdalene

CONGRATS PEOPLE!! :D :D

Sweeney Todd, some horror musical movie HAHAHA.
Gosh, LT3 was freakkkinnnggggg cold man, my hands/legs/entire were literally chilllll-ed lah ><
Didn't get to finish watching the movie though - had to prepare for the night trail.

Hmm, Sophia and my station was quite slack, since just get teams to paint their team member's face [by pairs], wasn't scary at all lo..
Since teams still got time to spare at our station so we decided to get the pairs [2 pairs each] to walk around level 2 and 3 classroom corridors of Blk B and C lo..
Waah the first team totally freakked us out man - Magdalene, Justin, Kenneth and Sasha were literally screaming at the top of the voices lah. Rather, shrieks.
The others were still quite okayyy, not scary de lo =.=
Went to peek into JK's station - the candle in guy's toilet behind canteen de - damn scary lah, esp with those ghostly images pasted on the walls and you can't see it clearly... :O

Then went back to LT3 to shift all our stuffs to classroom - gahh we don't get to slp in Hall this time round.
Didn't bring slping bag [thought we could slp on the blue mat in Hall like last year] so slept on the floor beside Zhi Jie.
Cleaned the LEGO bricks and munch-ed some biscuits b4 slping.
There's this evil plan of going down to track to slp - but dear Mr Teo went to slp outside the guy's classroom [4 tables for him seh].
Then when some ppl said he fallen asleep le I actually saw him wriggling his toes =.=
So didn't get to go track at all.
Slept at arnd 1.
My area was quite cold - the wind from the fans reminds me of the OBS store where I slept in for a night... Same thing too - woke up every hour gahhh...
Heard from Sophia and Shu Yinn that at night Ms Loo, Mr Keith Teo [for the Sports CCA Camp], Mr Teo, Mr Seetoh and Ms Jeanne Lim were talking in the canteen, so they just camped near bookshop there lo, by that time all the guys sleeping le HAHAHAHA....
Woke up at 6.15, thanks to Jun Kang gahh [Mr Teo wants us to wake up the same time as him] =.=
Then washed up and realised that the girls [seniors] were still sleeping soundly LOL, so the few of us shouted into the classroom from teh windows lo heheh ;P

Ate breakfast with the biscuits [Khong Guan] and the London Swiss [Choco] Rolls and packet Milo.
Then Ser Ming, Kristalynn and Sylvia played volleyball [using softer vball] against Li Zhen, Mei En and I on the track..
Didn't know vball was soooo fun HAHAHAHA :D :D
Then went to play vball with more people in the vball court lo, wah damn crazy lo - JK hitting the ball over the fence to the tennis court =.=

After that cleared the classrooms and had de-brief by the new bosses AHAHAHA ;P
Dismissed at 9.30 when the time in consent form was 10 or 11 LOL ><
Lagged in the classroom, placed stuffs in Com Lab 1 etcetc.
Then when we left the school we saw MR SURIA!!!!
OMG HE STILL LOOKS THE SAME HEHEHEH!
We wanted to take a photo with him but he dunwan, say that he wasn't supposed to be in school -.-
So after that took bus to coffee shop near Kiat Peng's hse to eat.
Then at KP's hse split into three grps - mahjong, monopoly and UNO stacko groups.
Went to play mahjong - waah my spot damn suay lah, everytime lose lose lose, until tio bankrupt [ran out of chips =.=]
After that Li Zhen took over me and she won after a few games, whoa finally got some "input" =.=
Aiya as usual the couple team was hard to beat lo, 只好认输 HAHAHA ;P
Left at 3 and the few of us [Li Zhen, Yun Fei, Shu Yinn, Sylvia, Ming Sheng, Ser Ming, Ying Ho and I] went to LJS to eat.. LALALAH.
After that I accompanied Yun Fei and Li Zhen for fun cse Li Zhen wanted to buy Polar cakes LOL...

Reached home at 5 plus.. then only slept for 8-9 hours that night thanks to stupid random wrong number phone call at 8 plus..
Freak lah =.=

Hmmmm, RV Infocomm Club JIAYOU JIAYOU!! <3 :D

Ahahaha superrrr fun man!! 垃圾岛之旅 / 游, as what kendrick calls it...
Cse guo lao shi had sth on, mrs lee-teo and mdm lim kim choo followed our class to la ji dao. :X
And the whole time during the bus and boat ride we were making oh-so-much noise (when we promised guo lao shi that we'd be quiet kekex)

The boat ride rocks man!
We were sitting on the roof (is that what u call it?) when we left marina south pier.
Enjoyed the wind, took photos, mingled with the guide called Edward (he's super shuai LOL, wind blow and his hair still never fly xD)
Nevertheless, took some scandalous photos of our class chairman-cum-parade commander and dino, and the other chairman owning the condos at Sentosa..
Didn't managed to squeeze to the front-most of the boat though cse full of other 4D ppl liao haha.
Took one class photo there, thanks to the guide Edward.
Then during the phototaking we were like "say Edwarddddd" for the first shot and "sey cheeee" for the second shot HAHAHA...

Once we reached Pulau Semakau (aka. la ji dao) we went into the Briefing Room and yeah, had a briefing LOL.
Heard some facts infused with certain levels of propaganda.
And this video made by NEA about the island...
During his ppt, there were just outbreaks of shrieks and laughters, most "outstandingly" ones are Sandra and Tiening, hmm as usual? xD
ESP, electronic sea pricing?
So after the ppt the class splitted into guys and girls to board the van and bus respectively.
Smooth ride on the road then when enter the grass/off-road v bumpy alr.
Drove past the barge too, damn smelly =.= (i wonder how the workers stand the smell...or do they not?)
So at the other end of the island we took another class photo, after some of the other guys stopped playing with grass and throwing big rocks into the sea (they kenna scolded though - for returning rocks to indonesia -- no refund of money though xD)
Then went back to the admin centre there and waited while the briefing for 4B ended..

After that boat ride to mainland Singapore we sat inside the cabin..
And some of the other guys managed to switch on the TV, but switched it off after some wu zong xian show ended..
A lot of rotting in there, and then the pilot cabin was hijacked by Qing Hua and Jia De, and sent "blessings to Liu Yi and Zheng Xiao" ROFLMAO!!!!! xD
And the next time when Liu Yi and Mu Wei wanted to hijack the 2nd time tio blocked by the teachers sia..
Lesson learnt: when looking out for pirates from the nearby waters, look out for "internal" pirates too xD
Then a large crowd started playing some chao-mian game zzz.
They ended up doing forfeit when they reached the pier.. some kind of love story btw abigial, jeffry and a few others. Totally funny man xD
Rotted there for the bus to arrive.. :X

While we were on the bus back to sch, it was like a KTV..
Almost everyone was singing at the top of their voices.. Specifically two grps of guys only and girls only, different songs.
I could only hear the guys singing zao sia (cse i was close to them mah), too bad Si Zheng wasn't around...
Stunned that the teachers didn't scold at all the noise etcetc. :O
Hmmm, and we promised mdm guo not to make a lot of noise eh?!

After we reach school, the 17 of us in total took 100 together, albeit in 2 100 buses that arrived at the same time LOL.
Imagine a gang of 17 boarding MRT from Commonwealth and all near the door, at the pole there.
To add on, it was peakkkkk hour. Waahaahaa.
The class strength was even better than class chalet i think (?) LOL.

La ji dao and 4Dots'09 is pure funnnn! :D :D

National Youth EnvirOlympics Challenge 2009 En-mazing Race.

Waaa, super-tired now..
Can't believe I'm dragging myself to blog, when I was intending to fill CID mat req form. :X

7 am at Vivo City rooftop. Sianzzz.
I WANT MY SLEEEEEEEP!!! :X :X

RVHS 3. Team number: 37
Rachel, Ho Ching, Zheng Xiao, Jason and I.
Clare as our team facilitator.

Started off at 9+, with flag off by some Mr Ong guy LOL.
Ahh two words to describe what happened after the flagoff: exodus and stampede (not really though).

Everyone was rushing towards the MRT, and we were super kiasu lol, camp right at the train door.
To think of it, it's really scary for the train commuters, when suddenly this train arrives and a whole gang of yellow just dash/choing out and screaming too. :X

Somewhere along the journey saw Hui Ling, a friend fr pri sch.
Super qiao3 man...

So first stop we had to go to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
So took MRT to Clementi MRT, followed by bus 184, and walk...
BMW sia. =.=
Finally when we reached the nature reserve, we saw this police blue tentage (those u saw in the news uh huh...)
Freaking hell a lot of ants.
Our task was to hook 5 cans and a few bottles (can't rmb how many) using a makeshift rod with paperclip hook on one end.
Spent quite some time there with that last bottle zzz...

After that took 184 again to Ngee Ann Poly.
Wondered arnd (while following arrows) inside the poly, trying to find next destination...
Height challenges.
So we were supposed to do 3 "low" elements and 1 "high" element each.
"Low": Obstacle bridge, and tarzan swing
"High": We did different ones, I chose Flying Fox. Damndamn fun sia, first time trying it :D :D
I LOVE FLYING FOX!!! :D :D

Then from Ngee Ann Poly 52-ed till IMM.
Gruesome task.
Collect 15 cans, 5 bottles and 20 pcs of paper to form the words "Reduce, reuse, recycle".
Ended up surveying Kopitiam for the cans and bottles.
Kope-d the papers from Mac/MOS burger flyers xD
Disgusting blegh, completed the task in 17+ min out of 20 min given...

After that a short break to buy lunch at Mac, then off we go again..
MRT-ed from JE till Woodlands, to reach Causeway Point.
The task was to match all the train names to the MRT map.
Phew luckily we memorised it in the morning (heh heh thanks to Clare :D)

Then 161-ed to Blk 190C Sengkang.
4 stops, and it took 28+ min.. SLE and TPE...
Went to Blk 188 Pavillion, and we were told to collect newspapers.
The clearance level was until the bottom of my shirt (now imagine how many newspapers we'd have to collect :X)
Ended up not finishing the task so + 10 min penalty. D:
Longest and most tiring task. :X :X

After that 83-ed to Sengkang Interchange.
Just then saw Hui Ling's grp (same bus mah)
Then when the bus door open both teams dashed too.
Had to top up ez-link card cse not enough..
Luckily the train was to leave in 3-4 min time.
Then just took the NEL back to Harbourfront MRT.

Once there, choing again lor..
Heard that Hui Ling's team facilitator is/was (?) athlete, then at HF MRT he was running ahead of both grps.
Then we had to do puzzle matching and collect signatures for every try.
Ended up having to collect 25 sigs.
Then kope-d families/grps since thr're more ppl.

After that choing-ed to start/end point (Vivo City rooftop), and found out that we were 3rd.
And also the first team to finish with guys (apparently top 2 teams were all-girls LOL). :D :D
Finished at about 15.42 h or 15.43 h.

Since we'd have to wait till 5 for prize ppt to start, we camped outside POSB at Vivo City after buying drinks...
Our legs freakinggg tired sia.

Apparently our route was the easier one among the others, that's why finish so fast LOL.
Perhaps what made us not getting 1st/2nd was the 161 ride and the newspapers.
Sorry. :X

Then during the prize ppt, since only top 3 have trophy (top 10 all have medals per person), the emcee forget to give us trophy bleghblegh.
Ended up finding them to get the trophy.

YAY out of 7 teams, two RV teams won:
3rd: RVHS 3
6th: Green Pork

Thanks to Kee Heng for the Bus Guide and everyone that we've called/sms-ed along the race and Clare too (probably she won't read this LOL).

Total transport fares: $3.22 sia....

Blah, off to dreamland.
Stupid headache. :X

Hmm early in the morning I was dead alr. Overslept.

Then when I reach there only Cheng Yu was there. =X

After that we entered The Annexe (yeah it's at Science Centre ARGH), and weighed the plane.

Realised that plane being overweight is fine, your marks just get deducted.

Luckily we haven't cut some foam pieces out from the plane yet, if not it wouldn't have sustained such INSANEEE number of blows.

The officials were super SLACK. I repeat, they're NICE! =D
(DSO staff do know exactly what they're doing, unlike the SC ppl rahhh.)

So what happens if you takeoff after the runway?
You get partial marks out of 10.
-stunned-

And about the overweight = marks deducted formula?
It doesn't apply at all LOLS, I guess they were just VERY KIND. =D

First run: 3 points (out of 50)
Cleared runway (partial): 8
Touch penalty: -5
Position: 5th

But by the time the second run we were 13th. Sighs.

Second run: 5 points (out of 50)
Cleared runway (partial): 5
Position: 16th

We were given 4 mins to try as many actual runs as we can, while in the first run we needed to "signal" for the actual run.
-stunned-

The competition's tougher man.

So at the end of the day we were 27th, and we talked to the Chief Ref about second run scoring.

Second run (updated): 15 points
Cleared runway (partial): 5
Cleared S1: 15
Touch penalty: -5
Position: ?

Ahhh wells yay prob we're in the first page HAHA.

Hmmm I love what one of the officials said about our plane, while we were waiting for C. Ref.
"I like ur plane more than their's (points to Temasek Sec's plane, currently 1st with full points in 10+ sec), cse I know your made it youself de."
So I replied, "What are you implying zzz?"
Ahaha then he walked away liao hahaha.
No offences intended.
Temasek Sec's (FactorX) plane was kite-looking and "outstanding" (a lot of flashing lights mah).
It's control was superb sia!

Well we have kind of good teamwork effort huh?
Cse Raffles was flying the plane and Cheng Yu and Jeffry and I were in charge of catching the plane.
We're a swift repair response team man. =P
Tip (wing) float drop?
Spray 3M77 while running to runway LOLS.
Cracks or broken pieces?
Instant fiber taping on-the-spot, like a continuous action HAHAHAAA!
Other teams couldn't repair as fast as us LOLS.
In fact I was stunned at the durability of the plane, whacked upside-down and tail fin never break.
The power of epoxy. =.=
Ended up crashing and takeoffs for 9-10 times in 4 mins. MUAHAHAHA.
5 points YAY!
Imba shuttle run, and repair time like those of F1's HAHAHA.
Ooops super zi4 kua1 LOLS - we were that good mahhh! xD

Highest (15 points) among three RV teams (0 and walkover).
=D

If Jun Kang was here yeah, but some things aren't beyond one's control.
Sighs. =/

Overall, lessons learnt:

1. Magic is always done on the day before the competition. Last minute work!!!!

2. Things always screw up on the competition day itself.
- Unless the officials are from DSO! =DD (DSO officials ROCKS YEAH!!!)

----

Bleghs, only Stanley's group received an award for presentation.
Argh. =X

Gosh, super happy today. =D
Changed the motor to brushless. Big difference LOL.
It took off from the ground and flew for 20-30 sec, after we changed to a bigger prop at 6 pm.
Though it's only in air for a short period of time, but it's an accomplishment already. =D

Well this goes to show sth: somehow for unknown reasons we work best during last minute.
Though we shouldn't be doing things last minute though.

However we still have work to do though, lighten the plane by 30-40 grams argh.

----

On a happier note, we have a 6E'05 class BBQ at Mabel's house.
Reached there at 7 plus, then the food were mostly cleared alr. =X
Soo ended up eating sotongs and more sotongs for dinner zzz, and paid $9 LOL (not tt I realyly mind though, since it's a longggg time since we had a class gathering).
After that just catched up with what's happening lor..
However not everybody turned up, shall not mention the names in case I leave anybody out LOL. =.=
Realised that Zi Song's sub combi super imba, 3 Sciences, 3 Humanities, Research Paper (somewhat like our CID) and C.Lit. -stunned- 10/11 subject man. Pro kia LOLS.

Everybody's results are so high and pro, mine just totally suck. =(

Then left Mabel's house at 10+ pm...

Thanks Mabel AHAHA! =D

P.S. Send me the group photos taken, if u have it LOLS. =D

----

Hopefully the second part of competition "patterns" don't come true tmr, and hope that everything will turn out just fine yeah. =/
