YAY!!!!!!!!!!! So happy hahahahahaha! :) All our hardwork and midnite efforts have paid off seriously man! We won the "Best Dressed Table" for D&D!!!!!!!! :)

Actually initially we reallu din expect much frm our costumes.......we were just trying to figure out sth to do to get the whole costume issue over wif so we can attend D&D........so we finally decided on the theme of "Du Shen" or "Gambling King"......the one wif Chow Yun Fatt. So 1 guy will be the gambling king and a gal will be the queen lol. The rest of us will then be poker cards and mahjong tiles instead. We made use of the left-over cardboards frm Rag to construct box-like figures n painted the front part as poker cards wif a hole to accomodate our faces n the bck part as mahjong tiles. Den we also bot face paint to paint our faces accordingly.....i was black lar haha cos i was 10 of spades den my face was situated at the big spades......we really din expect to be so involved wif the costumes that it took us 3 nites to finish everything......but since we were doing it at the gym loads of seniors who walked by saw us hard at work in the middle of the nite n tot we were super enthu hahahaha! But ultimately its also thanx to all of the ALKA dudes n gals who were so enthu that made all of these possible!!! Oh ya n a big thanx to Kai Ting also cos even though she's not frm ALKA (she's a year 4 actually) she's super sporting lor!!! :)

It's a really nice feeling to win sth as an OG lor cos its just so fun n u're so proud of everyone involved! ALKA rawks!!!!! :)

Can't put up any pics yet cos im bck in JB (finally) n the internet sucks.......but i'll be going bck on tuesday lar so i'll put up the pics then.........

Cheerz!!!! :)

Yoyoyo! So i'm elected bck into the blk comm as lvl 3 rep. hope the coming days will be as fun as during the interim days though things do get kinda busy n chaotic at times.... I dunno whether im joining too many comms lor so kinda worried now.........cos submitted application for VPU, Welfare and Insights.........and my senior just talked to me about Insights (he's the head) and it seems to me that if i were to take up a portfolio position things may get quite busy..........but i do enjoy writing n publishing stuff..........then at the same time the interim period in VPU has been fun too! I really enjoy editing vids and looking at the final product......its mentally, emotionally n physically gratifying haha! :) I submitted my sign-up form for welfare mainly becos my councillor is heading it but at this point of time i dunno whether being in 4 comms' gonna stress me out.......but den since im not heavily involved in sports i guess comms are the best place for me to acquire points (even though i dun need them lar). As i said be4 i dun wanna go bck to the days where i just keep to myself.........its already uni.....its time for a change.........so i wanna prove myself to MYSELF in many different areas.......already im getting to noe more ppl than i can ever imagine......n im getting involved in things i normally shy away from. I'm improving on my social skills.......i'm striving to get a balance in my studies n hall life n im seeing sum results........and most importantly at tis juncture i wanna prove to myself that i'm equally capable of acquiring that 40++ points to stay on in TH next year w/o compromising on my studies or staying on by depending on my "International Student" status..........!

There are many reasons for these aims.......but i guess its hard to explain if u have not gone thru them personally.........but these aims are very practical at the same time.......cos i still have to maintain my CAP to keep my scholarship and at the same time i wanna enjoy hall life to the maximum which is totally impossible if i choose to keep to myself again..........

Thanx to all the great ppl out there (ermmmm mostly in TH and TJ lar) that made me a better person than i used to be. :)

An old poem i wrote based on another poem........just felt like putting it out again............ :)

People often wonder
whether or not i care
The size of my hips, the style of my hair
They often overlook
The things that I share
I say
Take a look in my heart
Do you see what I see
Someone who doesn't give a damn
To who you think he should be
I'm a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's me.

Shrouded in mystery,
keeping to himself
Is that guy alright?
Everyone doubts
Why doesn't he mix around with us
And join in the laughter and shouts
I say
It's only my first 3 months
I'm not too good with people
I lack the self-confidence
It's hard to make me sizzle
I'm a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's me.

3 months later,
the ice starts to break
People start to ask, "What happened to that guy, you said?"
"Wasn't he someone.....Who came from the Stone-Age?"
I say
It's time that i really need
To break that fake facade
To reveal what's really beneath
All that masquerade
I'm a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's me

So now it's really clear
why you often see
A boy who sticks to himself
quite abnormally
It's definitely not because
He's proud and unfriendly
I say
Go ahead and get acquainted
There's nothing much to lose
But when things do start to pick up
You're on a new friendship cruise!
'Cause he's a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's him.

Justin
(Adapted from the poem "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou)

Dun be afraid to take that step.....seriously......i've taken it quite a number of times already..........and not once did i ever regretted my decision to take the path i normally shy away from.

Surprises.......life's full of it.......dats true.......but sumtimes u really gotta go n find them.........then the surprises will come to you. :)

Cheerz!

Yay Block E was the Girls IBG overall champ as well as the IBG Overall Champions!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha though i din contribute much but at least i played in a couple of games n gave my best!! Having Ice-cream party later at E1!!!!!! :)

Shag n busy lar these days..........just wanna get everything done for the interim committees by tis week den can concentrate on studies liao.......! I dunnu exactly how many comms i wanna join cos i dun wanna overburden myself but.........haih............i noe i wanna join VPU cos editing vids really rawks! Den maybe i'll join insights too cos i enjoy writing. Then i dunno whether i shud join term time rag comm or join welfare since veron (my ogl) is head of welfare haha! :) Cos if i really wanna accumulate the points i tink i really need more than 1 comm to get them........sports i sure cmi lar but i dun mind goin for the trainings for squash and badminton cos i enjoy both sports in the 1st place.......table-tennis also not bad!! but den those prcs veri strong lar hahaha!

Studies haven been goin veri well.........but i'm bent on finishing going thru all my notes for mid-term test be4 the recess week starts so i onli need to prac questions during my hols!! Den will have more time to enjoy my holidays hahaha!!!


Sumtimes u find urself at a fork,
thus not knowing exactly where to go,
Dun worry its easy just take a jog,
One at each time, follow the flow;

It's always the extra little effort,
that brings in the extra little surprise;
Do some exploring, do the search,
Life's a gamble like a dice;

Take sum risks, over here, over there,
You nvr noe when you'll find sth new,
Sth you like, sth you enjoy,
These things are often rare and few;

So the next time you find yourself not at a fork,
But instead this time you're at a junction,
Go ahead and choose one path you'll normally avoid,
This time round it may no longer malfunction,
For all that you noe, it's salvation.

Cheerz!!! :)

Haih............tiring tiring tiring............had touch rug IBG on sunday.....initially tot i as the capt wun have to play cos more than enuf ppl signed up but as u wud have it ppl just began sustaining injuries, having important stuff to settle etc etc..........so in the end we were thankful to be able to get enuf ppl (6 actually) to form a team at the beginning of the game..........3 more eventually joined us but still we lost 2 games, won 1 and drew 1...........the 1st 2 games were against the 2 strongest teams in the hall so we can hardly complain.......cos among the 6 onli 1 is a veteren player (hanz) while all of us either had no or little experience in the game.......the last game we cud have won but that was just tough luck...........but i really must admit that touch rug is a super shag sport to play.............there's so much ground to cover, u need to be alert n on ur feet at all times, theres sum shoving involved, strategies to noe n agile ppl to run after............my stamina is really not there lar........just played for 10 mins at the beginning already wanted to die..............



Today we had squash IBG too..............we needed 3 guys n 2 gals frm each blk n since our squash capt had sth impt on we had 4 guys in all.......we were in the semis str8 away (dunno y) n since blk D had no gals we onli needed 1 game to enter the finals............so u shud be wondering that there was no way we cud have lost rite? But once again tough luck lar.........sang yong lost the 1st game n chris the 2nd though both were close......i was praying dat chris win the 2nd game so i wun have to play......but there were sum tough luck involved lor or else he cud have won the game.....so there i was playing the pivotal role.............fyi i onli played squash twice (or at most trice) in my life.....n both times were when i entered temasek hall............so noob as i was (opponent actually noob also lar but he veri fit so more stamina than me) i went dwn n played...........it was also a close game cos we onli played 9 points........beginning i was trailing like 3 - 0 then eventually caught up to 5 - 5 though i wasted damn a lot of serves.........then in order not to waste serves i began to serve hard n that basically just sapped all my energy lar........cos i really no stamina one.........ppl fat but hard fat (go n feel) mine is soft fat..........in the end we tied at 8 - 8 but my stamina just veri bad lar so lost the last point..............haih wasted........tot we cud have entered finals then maybe stand a chance to get gold.........haih........



Now for me theres onli 2 more IBG games (i onli signed up for 4) badminton n table tennis..........both of which i tink i'll die veri badly cos the PRCs all so pro.....but wad the heck lar i enjoy playing these few sports nowadays so just intend to have fun lor......can take the opp to work out a little also or else really seldom take the initiative to go n work out....esp these few weeks cos really just busy lar....

Two tests coming up for tis week.......french on thurs n statics on sat.........statics is freaking me out cos im just bad bad bad at it.............french equally scary cos tis is our 1st test...........gonna be mugging liao.......

Kuishimbo soon wif 11/05!!!!!!!! N wad a coincidence cos i was tinking abt kuishimbo too early in the day den bob called at nite to tell me abt it! So 11/05ers if u're reading tis reserve ur sat nite ar its KUISHIMBO NITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Ok mugging on...........tink i'll start wif french 1st..........interesting subject out of all my modules but its not easy either............slave on dude slave on............

I cant rmb everything dat happened thru the weekend so let me see..........ermmmm basically nth much on friday except i slept at 6 am cos just got my laptop so there was like a tonne of things to install, configure, update n transfer...........i dun noe hw much vista suck n stuff but at least my package comes wif the windows office cd so i still get powerpoint n stuff......but a lot of others onli arrived after i updated thru the windows website......like the language bar n stuff.......den spent dunno how many hours rearranging my itunes list...........den dwnloading songs too..........its illegal i noe but if i were to pay for all those songs i wud go bankrupt in less than a day................

Went out on sat to get my new set of speakers plus my silicon cover for my creative zen stone plus.....mine is white but i got a lime green cover to go wif it so it looks pretty cool now........the speakers r working fine n they onli cost S$59 so im still satisfied wif it. Later had lunch wif Matt n chatted a lot be4 meeting up wif the rest of the class for dinner at marche! Sean, kah sing, arvin, xin yi, aga, chai yun, serena, xiao j and zhi yong were all there! Menny n chuan cheng met up wif us ltr fr a drink! :)

Hahaha we went for dinner at Ichiban (i tink) in PS be4 catching the movie "Evan Almighty"! The dinner was super great while the movie rawks too!!! But most importantly its the company lar haha its really nice to hang out with frens whom u're comfortable with in this manner so i'm really really satisfied for now! :) Actually i feel a bit guilty cos we like nvr jio the others but cos 1stly, it was not me organising it so i dunno whether they actually wanted more ppl to go, and 2ndly, i really dunno whether the rest r in the hall or not cos most/all of them went bck home n may onli return at nite..........but if any of u just happened to be reading tis n u were in hall be4 6 pm den sori ar but next time let me noe if u're in hall during the wkend den we can organise sumthing n just hang out!!! :)



My face cut into half lar......


I noe i have small eyes when i smile...cos too much fat on my face...den my smile also look veri stiff cos chris took so long to press the cam....n i cant maintain my smile for long.....if u dun believe pls refer to sum pics below:


I really cant smile in the past in front of the cam cos i cant make myself smile for no reason...dats y u'll always see me wif my mouth liddat in a pic....i've learned to smile betta in front of the cam nowadays but i cant maintain it for long lar.......or else i'll look like an idiot.....


See wat i mean.....everyone is smiling except me.....at least i've improved on it liao......



See.......? I smile betta rite? So next time u taking pic n i happen to be inside pls press the shutter button faster or else my smile will evolve frm tis to the ones above........
