The finals of the Dota challenge was a total thrashing.
Pak Tao vs Nigel

Nigel won the coin toss. He decided to choose the hero first.
Pak Tao chose Sentinel.

Nigel took Queen of Pain.
Pak Tao took Warlock.
Nigel took Viper.
Pak Tao took Chen.
Nigel took Sand King.
Pak Tao took Bane Elemental.
Nigel took Zeus.
Pak Tao took Venomancer.
Nigel took Twin Head Dragon.
Pak Tao took Sven.

One look at this lineup and I knew Nigel's team was a gonna.
Zeus was probably the biggest mistake ever.
Twin Head Dragon might still be reasonable. But Zeus?

Pak Tao drew 1st blood at 3 minutes.
The game was a total thrashing for the rest of the game.
Nigel's team only won ONE battle while Pak Tao's team won the rest(about 10+ other clashes).

Hais. A rather sad ending for a team that made it to finals.
Pak Tao was leading abt 40 points at the 40 minute mark.
The kills alone were a contrast. His team only suffered 12 deaths in the whole game.
The other team.. over 50.
The Sentinel were already OWNING at lvl 11.
Their highest lvl up heroes.. Warlock and viper.
When warlock was 14, viper was only 12.
When warlock was 20+, viper was only 16 or so.

Rather interesting game. Esp all the teamwork. But not too much of a struggle to watch. Hahas.

Today was a fine day at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
Duh.
Its called the fine arts for a reason.

PS had an outing there today to see their open house.

I totally dn uds those pple at NAFA!!
Their photographs are super abstract.
Who else blurs their photographs purposely??
Too much self-intrepretation liao...
I dun uds their photos!
Ahhh!

The "5 hr meeting-cum-lunch" turned into a 15min meeting-cum-watch-wk&zw-eat-lunch.
And I couldn't hear what everyone was saying.
Aiya nvm.

There's some inter-house photo competition coming up.
Pls take part.
If u dun take part, take part anyway.
That makes no sense I know.
Just take part. This is propaganda u see.
You take part in the end.


"Why everyone selling flags, but no CHS de?"

I didn't blog ytd cos I didn't feel like it.
But its the inevitable.
I have to do a end review for the Dota match.
I believe many people know the results alr.
rather shocking and unexpected to me..

cos i nvr really trained the team b4 the match.
i didn't know my own team's standard.
Didn't really prepare for this competition generally.
And lack of preparation is crucial.
And i certainly paid for that.


Ok then. So all I can say is that I failed as a captain.
Sorry my team.
I failed u guys.


"And its not the first time I have failed as a leader..."

So sorry. My blog can't see the whole video. You could view it on Youtube itself.

Its a nice video.
The lyrics are as follows:

[sound effects from tools]

Nothin' ever (ever) happens in this town
Feelin' low down (down), not a lot to do around here
I thought that I would go right out of my mind
Until a friend told me the news

He said, "Hey, you know that vacant lot
Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
And on that spot they're gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws"

Since then I've been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care
I've been waiting since last June

For this day to finally arrive
I'm so happy (happy) now just to be alive
'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside
Well, I hope they open soon

I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up the door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line

Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
Want a pair of pliers for every single room of my house
See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
One of them will be all mine

Guys with nametags walking down the aisles
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically

And they're doing a promotional stunt
There's a great big purple sign out front
That says every 27th customer
Will get a ball-peen hammer free

I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up the door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

Would you look at all that stuff ...
They've got allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters
Trash compactors, juice extractor, shower rods and water meters
Walkie-talkies, copper wires, safety goggles, radial tires
BB pellets, rubber mallets, fans and dehumidifiers
Picture hangers, paper cutters, waffle irons, window shutters
Paint removers, window louvres, masking tape and plastic gutters
Kitchen faucets, folding tables, weather stripping, jumper cables
Hooks and tackle, grout and spackle, power foggers, spoons and ladles
Pesticides for fumigation, high-performance lubrication
Metal roofing, water proofing, multi-purpose insulation
Air compressors, brass connectors, wrecking chisels, smoke detectors
Tire gauges, hamster cages, thermostats and bug deflectors
Trailer hitch demagnetizers, automatic circumcisers
Tennis rackets, angle brackets, Duracells and Energizers
Soffit panels, circuit breakers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers
Calculators, generators, matching salt and pepper shakers

I can't wait, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up the door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the

Haven't blogged in ages.
My com has been down for the last 3 days.
And my past week has been 1 major rush that I dunno wad I have really been doing.

Mon & Tue were terrible PE days as usual.
We welcomed the J1s into PS on Wed.
The day was extremely long.
Maybe it was due to the long nights that I have been going through since sch started or for dno wad reason, I fell sick on Thur.
Didn't go sch.

Fri must have been the best day of the week.
I went for MovyNite after another long day in sch with Acrodia.
Lol. I still got no idea what the movie is about.
It was rather confusing, no subtitles.
Dno wads gg on.

But that wasn't the main point.
Cos we went to eat at KFC after that.
Spammed jokes all the way.
Lol. I laugh until my stomach dam pain liao.

Hm. Quite tired now. Been a tiring week I guess.
I wan a looooong break.

"284 days left to 'A' levels."

Wah seh. Today is a super long day in school.
I had only 3 subjects yet lessons went all the way till 3:45.
3 hours of GP. Zzz.

Mr Tan Lip Seng came down at 4pm. He's a realy nice and friendly guy.
I planned to leave exactly at 6pm without any delay. Had to rush cos...

Acrodia had been waiting at Marina South since afternoon!!!

Hahaha. My OG outing today =D
Compensated totally for the super long day in school today.

I managed to reach Marina Bay just 3 min earlier in time for the 6:50 bus.
The next bus was 7:25. Seriously. There's this thing about bus 400.. miss bus = wait 30 to 35 min.
I joined them for one bowling game.
Of cos I scored straight zeros for a while lol.
My bowling is the wash drain type.

We went for dinner, den pooling after that.
I think next time if we going back.. den we go for steamboat.
Marina Bay has practically nothing except steamboat. Lol.

We pooled after that. Late-night already.
The auntie kept telling us that the last train was 11:30pm.
Haha.
So we just pia-ed 1 hr den zao le.
I zi-highed during pool lol.
Said a lot of random(and lame) stuff.
But it was fun lol.
By the time we were done, most of the pple were alr receiving phone calls from their parents.
ZAO LO.
I nvr receive call though.
My mom doesnt know I am at marina bay at 10pm =X

400 drove past us as we stepped out of the place.
Omg. The run. I will never forget that.
We were running for the bus shouting like mad pple lol.
Hit home at 10:58pm.
Haha. I said that I will make it home before my mom does at 11pm.
That was calculated using maths, physics, gp, chinese, chem and bio theories of cos.

I will be quite sad when the peeps go into their official classes for PAE. Keep in touch k?

Looking for talented people to help me out with something!!!

Requirements:
1. Must be in AJC
2. Be J2
3. Have artistic talent (at least more than me cos I have none)
4. Creativity (I have none also)

Incentives:
1. CIP hours!

Aiya. I got to design a poster advertising X-country to the teachers and parents. And I need about 1 helper for it to help me brainstorm the design. Anyone interested please contact me. Thanks!!! Its due by Mon so if I can't find anyone I pia liao.

Hmm. Dunno what the Singapore government is up to lately.
I saw something flying vertically upwards today away from the Earth and into the clouds.
It was either a plane flying vertically upwards(which is rather unlikely), or a rocket taking off into space(which is even more unlikely), or Singapore is randomly shooting missiles upwards to see where it lands.

Lol. No matter what it is, as long as it doesn't land on me, its ok.
Careful if you see something flying down back at you.
If the projectile doesn't fly to infinity, we are unsafe.
It might just come back down =s

Haha. Super busy 1st day of school. Homework all undone. 3 meetings in 1 day. If I don't go crazy soon, I will be surprised. I forced myself to eat breakfast to build up energy. No time for lunch. No time for dinner. My mom cooked for me cos I was obviously tiring out.
Haha. No choice. 1st day work like mad liao. Zz. Dam tired. I wanna sleep.

Wah after all that tiring 3 days.. I still didn't sleep early last night. I planned to sleep at 12am. But I chatted online with some of my og peeps till 4am.
And I had to leave cos of my meeting at 9am lol.
Wonder if they went on till sunrise..

But now I am exhausted and got no voice left lol.
Whenever I talk, I sound so super weird and the tone is totally not right nowadays.
And my hearing has detoriated. Hahas.
If my voice sounds weird or I go off-tune easily these few days, its perfectly normal =)

I got so much stuff to do. And there is so much to do that I don't feel like doing a thing. Lol.

It was a great orientation. Simply fantastic. But it was rather sad that it ended so soon. I was still under the impression that it had just started. Sigh. All good things end quickly. Maybe that's why.

Hopefully most of Acrodia will stay on in AJ. And hope their bonds will last forever. Hm. It was fun to be an OGL. I probably wouldn't mind going through it again. The new bonds forged with new people. Cougario OGLs. I am expecting some outings soon if we can have them in this rush of a year. Acrodia. I hope they do organise some outings too before the rush really catches up with us. I already realise that I am doomed for not having done my hols homework. But heck la. I am gonna be so extremely busy for the next 1 week that I will prob have no time to do a thing. Hahas.

The orientation finale was fabulous. Dark clouds gathered and the wet weather program was half-initiated in case it started pouring. We were all super worried and praying for the clouds to disperse. Luckily for us, the rain stopped after a slight drizzle and the cloud dispersed. Haha.
But it came back and poured down just as we did our final dance: That Girl
Dancing in the rain was great. Vrala! all dancing as one.. I prob will never forget it.
But I wanted to dance IGBM!! Ahh.. nvm. CCA Carnival better have IGBM mass dance.

I am tired. Super tired. I still have a meeting tmr morn. Hais. And my schedule is super tight for some time. I prob can't get a break for a while. Nvm. Lemme enjoy my weekend while I can.

Oh and THX ACRODIA for the present! You guys are the best!

Rock on Cougario! Rock on Acrodia! Rock on!

How was orientation?
I dunno how to describe it.
Everything seemed automatic. I knew what to do. I did everything I had to do.
And I thought I had a problem talking to groups of people.
This is probably a good experience for me.

Acrodia wasn't up to standard today.
But that won't put me down.
Tommorow will be better.
Let's roar with the cougar spirit, shall we?

I am beginning to wonder, what if orientation just ends.. and I get thrown back to school life again. The people I face daily will no longer be the Cougar ogls anymore..
They are really fun people. I know I am going to miss them. I seriously will.

Today was pretty much a fun day.
We were all totally swept into this orientation.
Admin stuff. Endless of it.
Bonding, ice breakers, and pumera just wun keep quiet. Hahs.
Nevertheless, we still pulled off enough time to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
I was having fun tormenting our ancient master Li Yi too.
Such is the fun of orientation =P
If she ever reads this, she will prob hunt me down and kill me. Heh.

I am tired now. Gotta refresh myself for a new day.
Which will be much more fantastic than ever.


"I don't wanna go back, ever again. I was never given the choice to do so though."

Yes I watched my first movie of the year before sch reopened!
Thanks to my Msn private msg, I managed to watch both DN2 and NATM in 2 days =))

Met up with Joey at J8 for dinner at abt 5+.
For some reason, the food court was full of people.
Does everyone eat dinner at 5+?
Oh. For me it was breakfast, lunch and dinner put together.
I don't keep a healthy habit of eating at usual times =P

We went all the way to Yishun to catch Night at the Museum.
Cos Bishan seems impossible. There was only row A and B left.
Bishan is always impossible to get good seats anyway. Unless you go down super early. Don't go Bishan on the last minute. On the other hand, Yishun is always empty. You can turn up 1 min before the movie starts and still get good seats. Lol.

Night at the Museum was a nice show. A very original plot, with twists and jokes... I really recommend pple to catch this if you haven't.
4 out of 5 stars in my opinion.
Its basically a comedy that highlights a family twist.

Yep. 27 hours left and I will be back in school.
The hols are coming to a close end.
Cya all in sch soon =))

Finally! We have all perservered to the end of 2006.
Oh my. Time sure flies. It only seems like yesterday when I just met my Novitas1 OG members. But now I am already an OGL and ready to welcome a new batch of J1s in 2 days like how I was welcomed 1 year ago. I just can't believe that 2006 just shot past me like that. Of course, one of the things I began in 2006 was to start this blog. I find it pretty meaningful as it is slowly recording my year down. As I look through my blog archives, I realise that I have been gradually changing and I have probably never experienced that many ups and downs in any other year. The times when I were happy, times when I were sad, disappointed, experiencing mixed emotions.

2006. My 1st year in Junior College. And how much I have learnt from this precious year. Trust me, this year will forever be remembered by me. It is the year when I first stepped into Orchard. First found out what is "town". First found out that there are actually fun games like pool and mahjong. First found out that Singapore is not only made of "Bishan". First found out how fun life can be. I found happiness. More than I ever found in my life. I found freedom. I found friends. Many new friends. This year probably could not have been more impactful in me. I still remember the first person who talked to me in AJC. A school whose food I was never proud of =) But still, a school where AJCians belong, where my friends belong, where I belong. The first 3 months of this year was one of my most fun-filled period ever. Skipping lessons, going out to play, eating dinner together. That's the spirit! It was like an extended holiday, but with new friends. We came together from everywhere, yet we acted as one. Honestly, I still miss the first 3 months. But I began to accept that 13/06 was over. 22/06 came before I really could take it in. The frantic part of the year began. I became an exco member in PS. The workload increased. There was always constantly something to handle. And with a flash the prelims came and went. The promos came as soon as the prelims left and oh my, before I could catch my breath, PW OP was here. And soon. Everything was over.

The rush of the year had totally left me breathless. I began to count the milestones I had this year. All the things I have experienced. 21st April. 1st August. I believe these are the 2 dates which made me fall the most, and at the same time, I learnt the most from them.

Oh yes. With a new year comes new year resolutions.
I have decided to:
1. Play less
2. Be slightly more serious(& less lame)
3. Study harder
4. Have a better year

So. The year is over. 2006 has come to an end. 2007 is here.
Happy New Year pple!
