-Saturday has come again-
Yup today is saturday so it means NO SCHOOL!!! Its not that I don't like poly life, its just that it is very taxing. Week 2 has passed and within this 2 weeks, I have watched: The Shinning, Shadow of a Doubt, Wizard of Oz, V for Vendetta and lots of short films, animations and Korean MTVs. Out of all the movies I watched since I entered FSV, the one that sucked the most was last night's film.
Last night was the first SgNewWave meeting. Not bad on a whole, met Eugene, Lavanya, Kane and Ben. It was only the movie screening that sucked really badly. It was picked by a guy that went to the Berlin Film Festival. Supposed to be the opening film for the festival, I thought this might be quite good to be an opening film but NO! The film was draggy and so slow that even Shadow of a doubt (Black & White) can kick butt anytime. The film, about two kids who gets abandoned in a field by their stepmother and goes on a journey back home, has a really good plot. Pity the director wasted such a good plot.
What was even worse was that when some guy found the kids and wanted to bring them to their parents, the kids, like what they did to their stepmother, pissed the guy so much that he abandoned thm in the middle of the road. The ending was the worse I have ever seen. After the guy abandons the kids, they walk down the road and until out of sight (2-3mins) an it ends when their gone. Waste of 3 mins worth of film.
I believe that this movie has a hidden message: Film Festivals can get boring. If this was only the opening, what about the rest? Bad sheep spoil the flock.
I give this film a rating 1/10. Total waste of time.
Something nicer than the film, here is the pics of the week:
-I have to do an assignment for photography during the weekend so here is the sch cam and my bag.
-During Art class we did a grid drawing. I did the Face!
-Our leader at work on the final grid.
-Everyone enjoying the sight of the combined work.
-During my grandmother's b'day. My brothers, Cousin and I.
Oh yea even until now, im sooooooo jealous for Mass Com ppl.... they get to do location video now... I so want to do it! As usual this makes me wonder why I choose FSV over MCM. Argg nvm! I'll get to do locvid either next sem or next year.... ARGGG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

-Life goes on-
Milk makes you sleep, Coffee keeps you awake. So what does a latte do to you?
Ok! For the people who have been living under a rock, a latte is a type of Italian coffee that contains one third espresso, two-thirds steamed milk and a layer of foamed milk on the top. So an espresso is concentrated coffee and milk is milk. With that said, What are the effects of drinking a latte? Well i've begun to drink more latte instead of standard Kopi and the effects on me were really obvious. Here is the timeline:
0600hrs: I woke up, still sleepy.
0805hrs: Reached the Studio production class abit late, still sleepy.
1000hrs: Started to notice my surroundings. Paid more attention to Mr Douglas.
1100hrs: Began to 'host' a Desu Hour with Jen while the rest of T1B1 meddled with the cameras.
1210hrs: Went to Alumni Canteen with Diana, Jen and Kelvin. Food was OK.
1230hrs: DRANK THE LATTE
1300hrs: Was fully awake, went to Ms Mel's Intro to film class.
1310hrs: Started to fall asleep. Luckly i came to my senses in time.
1330hrs: Started to fall asleep AGAIN. Came to my senses in time AGAIN.
1345hrs: Watched lots of titles and Psycho. Was mixed between wanting to sleep and paying full attention.
1500hrs: Went to collect my EZ-Link. Later followed Jonathan and Diana to BTP to buy art supplies. Status: SLEEPY
After that, the whole day I was between wanting to sleep and being fully awake. I am going to classify latte as DANGEROUS. But that is not going to stop me from drinking more latte.

-Being a man : FAIL-
Huh I just realized Joshua (Tan) and I failed at being a man... When we were accompanying Serena to the bus stop, Josh said its natural for man to ensure girls walk safely home... If like that... why we never accompany chel to wherever? Maybe cos 大姐大 can protect herself? LOL maybe thats why...
I just noticed the time... 11.11 p.m., should be asleep by now (tomorrow got 8 am class) but I guess the caffine from the coke light is the cause of it. I guess I should be lucky caffine still works on me. Its my Redbull.
Tonight half of the FMS ppl went for V for Vedetta. Can't really see much, Joshua (Simons) was sitting infront for me and for the first time, I realised how tall he really is. Maybe I will go rent the movie and watch it at home just to fill up the gaps. Oh btw I saw paul2hill! Was alot thinner than on TV (Like I watch Singapore Idol) Hair was shorter than I heard. I seems the guys from camp did not succeed in cutting his fringe (Or did they? hmmm.....)
After the movie, Joshua T. and I joined up with Joshua S. and gang and went to al-azahar for dinner. Justin and Josh S. was soo funny! They ordered a $8 mutabuk together! The person taking our order was so shocked that he confirm it 3 times. Apprently the $8 mutabuk was HUGE! In the end they could not finish and we came to the rescue.
After dinner, I was so clueless as to how to go to lakeside that I aimlessly followed Serena and Josh T. hoping to find a bus that goes to the nearest MRT station. After we accompany Serena to her bus stop, Josh and I walked down opp. Bukit timah market. In our attempt to find a bus stop, we did not realise the road was one way, and the side we were walking on will NEVER have a bus stop. So since bukit timah plaza was near, we cut thru it and went over to KAP (King Albert Park). There, I finally was in my comfort zone. I took 74 to dover and back to good O lakeside.
At the end of the day, im split between two different groups. Should I hang out more with my T1B1 classmates or should I hang out with the 'FSV and MCM mixed' Raptors Gang... Well good friends should stick together so I should balance my time between the two. Hope you guys don't mind.
Ahh the caffine is starting to wear out... till tomorrow then...
BTW my module blog (yes i need a blog for my assignment) is http://peanutbutterjames.wordpress.com

For those people gave a "Huh?" to my secondary school, if you were to go look at the Straits Times front page, you can read more about my school. (Is my true colours a gangster? LOL i don't know)
Today's Introduction to Film was so much better. At first I was starting to hate the subject but WOW! Today we watched the 1930s Wizard of Oz. 3/4 in colour, this movie is one of the best I have ever seen. completely under rated before i saw it, it was a huge shock to me that the film is so good. Even the animation was good (Its a 1930s film u noe)
Hmm my mood seems to be better... thanks to the movie i guess...

This person makes a net,
This person prays and wishes,
Would it be hard to guess,
Who would catch more fishes?
Learn today at church that just by praying you can't get things done. Though I knew this already it reminded me. Things do not happen naturally. It is the reaction of someone's action. Equivalent trade huh?
If that is the case, who am I really? All my life I have been putting others above myself, thinking about other's feelings other than my own. Is this even normal? Last week when Jeremy and Yi chee came to a totally same assumption but at different days, and even though I told them what I felt at that time, was what I said really true? If you were to ask me about my emotions, I would just give you a blank look. Even up till now im still clueless to my own emotions.
Now that I think about it (2 days of thinking), I realised that my actions are mainly due to others. I am the reaction to people's actions. All that i've done is to make others feel happy. Others above self huh... Even though I am aware that I am following a path that pleases othetrs, I can't seem to break this cycle. When I start to be a little selfish, at the end of the day im always feeling that I did not deserve what I got.
What is my true colours? I seriously don't know. I can't even decide for myself anymore. For example even though I was sick, because I promised Ben and friends, I turned up for dare night. Constant prayer to God through out the friday has help me into lasting through the night. In return now I feel tired and sleepy quite often (Equivalent trade). But oh well. Others above self. This way I won't feel guilty or sad for hurting other's feelings. In a way im glad I went for Dare Night. Thanks to God for delievering me through the night.
Are the people from FMS, ppl I just met for 15 days only, my nakama, my friends I can trust forever? It feels like it, but I hope they will be the ones who will help me realise my true colours, if it is good or bad.
On a brighter note, here is the link to my storytelling module blog (Yes the module requires a blog)
PeanutButterJames.Wordpress.com
Oh yea there will be NO photos for dare night as it is with the FMS ppl. All that I have are videos of our dares. Don't know if I should post them on Youtube...

-Huh?-
Wow my expectations for friday was so wrong! So much for randomness.
In the morning, we had Storytelling. Don't be fooled by the title of the module! It has NOTHING to do with those bedtime stories and stuff. It is an English essay lesson! Sounds boring right? Well the subject is... just thinking about it but the lecturer Mr. Ryan really brought out the fun in the subject. We written a short story with the sentence: "Jonathan put on his hula girl suit and walk into a temple." (This is what i can remember. Will correct this soon). Had a fun time thinking what Jonathan might be doing.
Second lesson was Art and Design. We almost could not find the room. It was Blk 53 lvl 3 room 7. Level 3 was like an open carpark and we could not see any Room 7 in sight. It was thanks to the floor plan near the lifts that we realised Room 7 was at the far corner and the only way to go there was to walk single file through a narrow passage at the side of the building. SOO EASY TO FIND -.-
During art lesson Ms Wendy taught us all the basics of art and told us to draw lines, shapes and tones. It really reminded me of sec 2 when Mr Goh taught us ALL the basics. Now I know that Mr. Goh is a God at Art. It all looks like child's play now.
Next lesson was Photography. Apprently there was a miss communication (Convert the "i" to an "a" in miss and we would have been alright) in the location of the tutorial and as the lifts were al the way to the top and we were close to being late, we WALKED up the stairs from lvl 3 to 8. At 8, the classrom was really empty and someone noticed the lecturer at the cage (lvl 1). We WALKED down the stairs to the cage and apprently the 3 hours lesson has been transformed into a 30 mins one. We learned how to operate a film type camera (Non digital) and how to change the settings. So cool.
Later after that tutorial, we split up and I met Joshua (Tan) and Jeremy at the library. Watched 300 and waited for Chel and Jarrel. Went to Canteen 1 for dinner (WTH is it with canteen 1?) and walked together to the Dare night event. Apprently there were only 15 ppl who signed up and so we were split up into groups of 3 (With 2 GL with us). Due to randomness, Chel and I formed one group and Hui Ming joined us.
The whole night was filled with randomness. The location in the clues were changed, we ran up and down the wrong place and we lost our GLs in the process. Due to sheer combination of MCM and FSV, we persevered foward and even though we wasted lots of time running round the campus aimlessly (One clue stated SDAR office and there were two on either sides of the campus), we managed to get FIRST! WOOT! (Im still in shock and awe in being first. It must have been the power of 大姐大!
Note to Chel: Get the Chinese input pack! If i am to type 死乌龟 (Dead turtle), you may think im saying 大姐大 (Big sister) so its really important.
EDIT: K im gonna b helpful and post the download link. DON'T WASTE MY EFFORT!

-undecided-
Huh really sleepy today. Not going to post a essay length post. Just a summary and im going to sleep soon...
Really starting to get a headache looking at the computer screen... gonna force myself to complete this post.
Ok! Today I woke up at 6... stupid 8'oclock class. Did not really get enough sleep. Dunno why but my stomach really hurt... must have been the peaking duck last night. (Will post more about that when im feeling better).
Then throughout the whole day, i was mixed between really sleepy and having the feeling to vomit. (Thank God I did not) Luckly I have a really good classmate: Kelvin! THANK YOU KELVIN!
He really helped me out, offering to eat with me at cheers and accompanying me back to the FMS building. Stupid slope. Just to let you guys know, I was SWEATING while going up the slope. In the process i forgot to join a CCA... hmm maybe thinking about PSP or fencing...
At least today's classes were fun. In the morning we did Studio Production, where we played with the cameras, Visual Switcher and had a chance to direct a simple show. The other lesson we analyzed movie trailers and deduce what the movie was about. Now I know why Chicken Little was a major let down.
After the lessons Kelvin and I took 154 back. Im soo glad I have a direct bus. I had abit of sleep on it. When alighting, I saw Wei Bin. Apprently she was waiting for Jorina to go collect the O Level Certs. Since im feeling abit better, I decided to follow them. So cool! The cert is laminated!
Lol my results are like: BAABAAD.... Stupid D go spoil the sequence. No challenge guessing what subject i got D. Oh well... Randomness.
K gtg sleep now... Will post pictures when im feeling better. Hope I will be well enough to attend Dare Night tomorrow. I WILL go to school tomorrow (Its a must apprently) and Anyone reading this please understand my condition.

-School has begun and im working-
Yes today is like the second day of my new poly life and im working! Nono i did not skip today's lectures, cos today i have no lectures! Guess im the lucky class.Aslo It just so happens (randomness) that my cousin's famous store which sells HANDMADE KOREAN LEATHER SHOES; Lilica, is holding a 'Members' only pre-launch sale and is in need of a bouncer. So guess what? I became that bouncer! (For the record, this is my second time being a bouncer)
As the shop was at The Cathay and there had a Ben's & Jerry's (Today is free scoop day) I thought i can drop by and get myself one free scoop. BAD MISTAKE!
Note that B&J is on the 2nd floor. The queue in the photo is on the 3RD FLOOR!
Im sorry i could not take a better shot. I can't leave my shop post u noe... Well even though I did not get to eat the free ice cream, luckly at the basement there was the famous Oyster Mee Sua... Just typing it makes me hungry.
Well another strange thing happen (Randomness). While working, I recieved a sms from Jeremy and I replied it back like how I would normally reply the mcm-er. After like 3 - 4 sms, I then finally realised I was not sms-ing to the MCM Jeremy. I was sms-ing to my Sec sch jr. Jeremy! Screwed up piece of randomness.
Was so bored that I taken a pic of myself WITH FLASH!
The famous Handmade Korean Shoe shop: Lilica. For handmade stuff, things here are pretty cheap and good. Lots of customers said its very comfortable (Even for high heels!) Too bad im a guy and can't wear them. Hey if anyone wants to go to the shop or get a name card msg me! My presence may deliver a discount.

-A new Beginning-
HA! My poly life has begun! Today I took MRT from Lakeside to Clementi and took 184 to Ngee Ann. 184 was soo crowded and slow that when we were just before Maju Camp, ANOTHER 184 overtaken us and inside was really empty. Should have waited abit more.
I met Joshua Simons on the way to the FMS building. Apprently his free Mac bag was in black and orange! MY FAVOURITE COLOURS! The stupid ppl who gave me my mac said that there was only one colour. WOW im so colour blind (-_-)... Oh well at least i've personalised my bag. Sewing is such a pain...
My first lesson was Photography with my advisor Mr. Siew Kee Liong. He gave us a brief into on the general rules and stuff. Quite a friendly guy. Next was Studio Production with Mr. Kwon Jae Youn. He is really very funny and always made us laugh. (in a good way) He also gave a brief intro on himself. Korean guy that used to work with Samsung Adverts. Soo cool. Last was this Canadian - French Lecturer Morrissette. She showed us this short film called Jesses by Royston Tan. To my opinion, it was a really hate/EMO film. I think that short film killed my inner child.
The later films were much better. We watched this stop motion film about a person fighting a chair called A Chairy Affair and a full lengthed black and white movie called Shadow of doubt. Nice movie... for a 1940s film. Morrissette told us to critic on those films.
After the lecture we went to the atrium. It was raining heavily and so I decided to do the homework at the library. Met Joshua and Val there. As Kelvin and I slowly thought of what to type, I noticed Chelmin online in Bonjour (Like what are the chances!) Apprently she was also in the library as well thus our 'bonjours' can link. Using iChat, we tried to locate each other's position but only Chel managed to locate me. When she stood up away from iChat to go find me, I notice out of the window across the atrium to the other side of the library, a girl in white stood up. (WTH SHE WAS JUST INFRONT OF ME!).
Randomness happens to me everyday so im used to it. After Kelvin and I moved to chel's location (her's have power for my 'PeanutButter'), we went back to work. Kelvin went home first and I wrote finish my assignment. Oh yea Chel was a great help! (Can't say in helping what... the lecturers may be looking at this) so THANK YOU CHELMIN.
After I met chel's friend and they have both gone home, I packed up my stuff and prepared to leave. Randomness happens! I met Yi Chee and gang! Apprently like the Mass com peeps, FSV 1.1 has to read up a book BY TOMORROW and the book has like only copies in the library.
Randomness happens everyday.
Oh yea here is my group in the FMS FOC Camp. We have become best buddies ever since.
Left to Right:
Bottom - Peggy, Ben // Mid - Jeremy, Seri, Hui ming, Chelmin, Wen xin // Top - Yi chee, ME!, Hui Ting

Hmm edited my last post. Strange I forgot to blog about today.
It is also strange how God works. In church I was trying to find the verse about casting away ur eye if it causes sin... (Matt 5:29-30) and could not find it. At home when I opened my Bible, Lo and behold the verse I was looking for was bookmarked earlier at church. (I bookmarked Matt 7:7 at church)!
Whats even more amazing was that when I mention the 'divorce verse' to Chelmin but forgot the exact verse number, THE VERSE WAS BELOW THE 'EYE CASTING' VERSE! God works in mysterious ways (and causes me to do thing in randomness too?)
Wow this is soo amazing Im gonna blog this in a seperate post! Pls read up Matt 5:29-30. It will really strengthen up a true Christian.

-And a new chapter begins (Edited)-
Hmm just got back from the Specs shop. Apprently my degree went up by 25 so now its like 700+, 600+... Heng its not 4 digits. It looks like im gonna wear those thick sided specs. Not that I have a choice. FMS is all about image.
Woke up to my handphone ringing at 7.30 a.m. really sleepy. It turned out Ren Wei and Jia Yuan wanted to swim at my condo's pool... oh well im not the kind of person who would usually said no. Wish i was though... Because of this when I went to church I was really sleepy, lucky i did not sleep during Bible class and Bro. Richard's sermon. Both were really intresting. Even now I still feel sleepy, heres the reason why:
Yesterday night there was a 4E2 BBQ gathering at my house. The 'Food committe' pretty messed up the number of food. We had 16 ppl turning up and there was 20 otar and 10 fish balls. We also messed up the satay. Apprently the satay we bought was in a lump and was meant for microwaving. One lump wasted...
The guys that carry... And the Gals that poke the chicken
When setting the fire, my father set up everything. Wow he must be a super pro! After he left, the fire was so strong that 2 packets of charcoal used up pretty fast and the Aluminium foil melted, YES MELTED! The heat was even so strong that the otar CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE HEAT!
My life is full of randomness. So many things happening around me. In the end we ordered Canadian pizza.
Hmm school is starting tomorrow... I remembered the lecturer saying he's gonna mail us something but my mail is empty and i keep getting 404 error from Mel.
Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
Note:~
To FMS ppl: Wow I think i've been around u guys too much. Feels weird not to be together.
To BBQ attendies: Those who have not paid yet pls pay $7 to me (James) and if you ate the pizza pls pay $3 more.

Life is all about how you handle it.
Wow Poly life is sure different! Its so easy to make friends. Like for example now, just 1 week since we met, the FMS Hawks and Eagles group are soo bonded! This is like a cultural shock for me as I am usually cold and a loner to strangers but this time im open... hmmm strange.
Lsat night I had a good sleep! Luckly the Banana Java Chip did not get me on high too high. THANKS YI CHEE!
I don't know why but im like so in to iChat, but sadly most of the ppl around me don't like using it... I wonder why...
Last night i had a chat with chelmin... apprently her self esteem is soo negative... RAPTORS CHEER HER UP! I also realised that being EMO should be in moderation. Hmm i don't understand how cutting urself helps at all... After all, its not ur fault. If it was me, i would mass nudge random ppl... at least its more constructive...
And oh yea... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERENA!
Here is my timetable for those who want it.
EDIT: I just realised that when the lecturer said the timetable has a lesson missing, I did not expect the lesson to be on friday which is already pack... oh well at least tuesday no school

One small step towards mac,
one giant leap to being a MACtard
Wow today's Mac training was wow... full of awsomeness. We learn stuff like ichat, iphoto, iwadeva and much more! Now im like Ichating with Joshua and Val. Gonna post photos and stuff on today later.
Wow now its like 6:50 in the morning... stopped iChating at 12+. Due to my coffee shot earlier at night, I DID NOT SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT! Just kept rolling around...
K yesterday basically had the mac training, Checking of class, biometric thing, Adobe Creative suite.
First of all I intro-ed Yong Ming and Peici to the Raptors Gang. I dunno why but i feel bad.... maybe its due to us being seperated in the LT and Computer lab. Sorry.
When it was checking of class, I noticed there is no familier face in my class T_T. I was thinking this might happen as..... I HANG OUT TOO MUCH WITH U MCM-ERS! Oh well... im not gonna stop, just go on making friends.
Oh yea did i mention FMS gave us FREE Adobe Creative Suite? That means Photoshop FREE!!!! Oh man im so happy! On a side note, Reformatting ur Mac is the dumbest smart thing to do -_-
K what is a biometric thing? Its using ur fingerprint to enter the FMS building! YES A FINGERPRINT! Haha i dun need a fujitsu to do the fingerprint thing!
K after all that, the gang went to play billard. Was fun at first, me and Yi chee VS Jarrel and 大姐大 (Chel). The game was full of randomness. There are those we can hit, those we randomly missed (0_0). In the end our 大姐大 won by a few balls.
Second round it was Yi Chee and Jarrel VS 大姐大 and I. LOL 大姐大 and I full of randomness! When I was to start break, I shot the ball, it curved, zoom pass the 15 balls and into a hole. LIKE WTF? BREAK OSO GOT MISS ONE.... when it was second round, 大姐大 shot a ball into the hole. Full of randomness. Oh yea how did we win? Yi chee shot the black ball in the wrong hole by mistake. Full of randomness.
It was then 大姐大 and I VS Jeremy and Yi chee(If i can remember). We spend the first 9 shots still open. NOT A SINGLE BALL IN! After a while, Yi Chee shot a perfect snook and snooked the 大姐大
Oh well... a day full of randomness.
Note: It turned out my billard stick tip was slanted. So much for randomness

RAPTORS OEI~ OH SHIT, A Brief summery!
A Brief Summary (aka FMS camp RAWKS!)Just came back from FMS camp. Was damn fun. Thanks Ben and Peggy for helping us (Hawks) OWN the others! Raptors rawks!
During the camp all we did was run, run and run. Then stupid sia... the amazing race our FIRST STOP was a Blk 60. We circled the block like 3 times but could not find the Station master. Then we realised HE WAS AT THE CANTEEN. WTF CANTEEN IS CANTEEN, BLK 60 IS BLK 60!
Ok lah give him chance lah.... the canteen was NEAR blk 60. BUT KNN I THINK HE WANTED US TO KILL HIM. HE GAVE US THE WRONG CLUE! And wrong is like something that can kill us... Ngee Ann poly is so damn big and the wrong clue cost us to go wrong station. NVM Hawks can still catch up. Then we go our correct station, "Why are you guys so late arrr..."
WAH PIANG LOOSE ATTITUDE SIA! KK some of u campers reading this will say that I never looked like i lost attitude wad... Cos im not the person who would let others see i LA. Later u guys oso LA. So can lah, i go to the back and cheer the Johnstance (fat dude) to run with us.(Shld have poked his ass, the PSkia -read further to find out why) When we reached the last station I thought we will be last. BUT NO! WE CHIONG UNTIL LIKE 2ND! Heng i nvr LA on everyone.
Later we did the dress up GL thing. Wah lau Chel the drawing damn nice sia!(Oh yea she also designed the flag in 5 mins while we pondered for 20 mins) Yi chee, Jeremy and I went foward to make the mini hat. Was really nice, looked abit like an UFO. And of course, WE WON FIRST!
At night I tried to sleep but can't. First off some of the boys were talking abt perv stuff... dunno why Paul twohill name got come out. Maybe cos he will be in MCM this year... Also the room was damn cold and Yi Chee was shivering. In the end i shared the pain with him and opened up my sleeping bag. Slept for 1 hour. Woke up really sleepy and just nice the canteen was open. Bought myself and ice-kopi and it kept me awake like the whole day.
Later in the afternoon, we practiced the skit. Wah everyone so on sia... eh where is Jonstance? Hmmm maybe he went for smoking break.... KNN HE PANG SEH US! STUID PS-KIA NVR TELL US. Ok lets just forget abt him ok?
In the end, we Raptors and Hawks kicked ass.
Edit: I rushed posting this, so im gonna post on the water bombs and the 'Night walk Gang' soon.
K im back. So here is the winning 'Dress the GL' with Peggy as the GL and Chel as the designer.
The Final Battle
K during the Final battle where all 3 families (Raptors, Mystics, Wild Cats) and the GLs fight out in a 4 way water bomb battle. At first we allied with the wild cats for a peace treaty. So all the Raptors did was to camp and protect our base. Mystics were aiming for the GLs, Wild Cats were aiming at Mystics. Do note that Wild cats had 100+ more bombs than us.
As the battle continued, the GLs bombs began to deplete. And where do I come in? A the Raptors were camping, a few of the boys (including me) became 'Chiongers (Rushers)' As a group, we chiong to both Mystics and the GLs. As the GLs had no bombs left, I chiong to their base and like the Death Star blowing up, the bomb in my hand punched through the 'lolipop'.
With the GLs out, they decided to join our worthy cause. They were advicing us again and again to finish off Mystics. Good thing we did not take their advice. As Wild Cats went to wipe off Mystics, we watched as Wild Cats threw their bombs and thus bringing our bombs count to be around the same.
After replenishing bombs on both sides. the battle started again. Now we, the rushers, are now promoted to Kamikaze dudes. While having our last 'sake' at our base, the others (plus GLs) formed a line and with 'Banzai' in the air, the front line rushed foward straight. Meanwhile, us the kamikaze ppl rushed from the front and sides from behind the line and weeved through the Wild cats. Fellow kamikaze Joshua Simons dashed with me and together we brought damage to the enemy's 'lolipop'.
Both Wild Cat's and Raptor's bombs have depleted (Cats=5, Birds=1) and the game paused due to someone throwing a pail, YES A PAIL, at our lolipop and apprently it hit Chelmin. The pussies even wanted to claw the lolipop. Pissed off with the fowl attack by the wild cats, Everyone formed a line again and now all former rushers formed a human shield round the one guy who had our last bomb. Briskly walking foward, our line met the Cat's line and with the urge to kick their ass, our line pushed through and with the final bomb, made lots of damage on the enemy's 'lolipop'.
In the end the cats also rushed their 5 bombs at us but thanks to our 'tankers' we managed to burst the bombs before it reached our base. Apprently MOST of our Kamikaze ppl did NOT get hit at all! I left the battle a healthy man. (Note that if we were really kamikazes, we must commit seppuku cos we were untouched)
Even though we won the battle, many T-shirts, Pants, Shoes were wet in battle and had one victim. Not gonna say who. you can guess yourself.

Hmm last thursday after filming for Project: Memories at the stadium i met up with shawn, liz, zaim and together we went to Peici house for 4E2 gathering. On the way we decided to meet Jia yuan. Wah lau eh we supposed to meet him at city hall but he go take until after bugis. Heng Zaim ask me to call JY and ask where his is or else we will be stuck at city hall waiting for ghost.
After we reached Tanan Merah we need to take bus to Peici house. At the stop shawn press the bell but lizann say its not the stop... Then we were scolding shawn and stuff and once the bus started to move, Lizann and Zaim realised THAT WAS THE STOP. Oh well, b'cause of that we had to walk down a hill.
At peici house, joycelyn, vee sheng, jie jun and peici (duh) were already there. Later came rachel and jia ying. Faizal, uzair and sufiyan came a little later. We ate pizza, pizza and more pizza... watched The Guardian abit and played Xbox racing and halo abit. At night we slowly walked to pasir ris park and went through a pitch black mangrove area led by peici's bro. Even i was scared a little. I was so dark that when u reach out your hand, you can hardly see your fingers. What was worse was that we walked until a dead end overlooking a pond and the area was foggy. (It later turned out that it was my glasses that was foggy)
But that was not shocking. What was shocking was that AFTER we came out, the girls (Who did not enter the mangrove) was running to us screaming. It turns out they heard a errie kind of singing. At first i thought psycho had came to ruin our gathering but it was actually someone singing out of tune nearby.
Till the next gathering.... (Maybe BBQ this sat at my house?)

-Saturday has come again-
Yup today is saturday so it means NO SCHOOL!!! Its not that I don't like poly life, its just that it is very taxing. Week 2 has passed and within this 2 weeks, I have watched: The Shinning, Shadow of a Doubt, Wizard of Oz, V for Vendetta and lots of short films, animations and Korean MTVs. Out of all the movies I watched since I entered FSV, the one that sucked the most was last night's film.
Last night was the first SgNewWave meeting. Not bad on a whole, met Eugene, Lavanya, Kane and Ben. It was only the movie screening that sucked really badly. It was picked by a guy that went to the Berlin Film Festival. Supposed to be the opening film for the festival, I thought this might be quite good to be an opening film but NO! The film was draggy and so slow that even Shadow of a doubt (Black & White) can kick butt anytime. The film, about two kids who gets abandoned in a field by their stepmother and goes on a journey back home, has a really good plot. Pity the director wasted such a good plot.
What was even worse was that when some guy found the kids and wanted to bring them to their parents, the kids, like what they did to their stepmother, pissed the guy so much that he abandoned thm in the middle of the road. The ending was the worse I have ever seen. After the guy abandons the kids, they walk down the road and until out of sight (2-3mins) an it ends when their gone. Waste of 3 mins worth of film.
I believe that this movie has a hidden message: Film Festivals can get boring. If this was only the opening, what about the rest? Bad sheep spoil the flock.
I give this film a rating 1/10. Total waste of time.
Something nicer than the film, here is the pics of the week:
-I have to do an assignment for photography during the weekend so here is the sch cam and my bag.
-During Art class we did a grid drawing. I did the Face!
-Our leader at work on the final grid.
-Everyone enjoying the sight of the combined work.
-During my grandmother's b'day. My brothers, Cousin and I.
Oh yea even until now, im sooooooo jealous for Mass Com ppl.... they get to do location video now... I so want to do it! As usual this makes me wonder why I choose FSV over MCM. Argg nvm! I'll get to do locvid either next sem or next year.... ARGGG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

-Life goes on-
Milk makes you sleep, Coffee keeps you awake. So what does a latte do to you?
Ok! For the people who have been living under a rock, a latte is a type of Italian coffee that contains one third espresso, two-thirds steamed milk and a layer of foamed milk on the top. So an espresso is concentrated coffee and milk is milk. With that said, What are the effects of drinking a latte? Well i've begun to drink more latte instead of standard Kopi and the effects on me were really obvious. Here is the timeline:
0600hrs: I woke up, still sleepy.
0805hrs: Reached the Studio production class abit late, still sleepy.
1000hrs: Started to notice my surroundings. Paid more attention to Mr Douglas.
1100hrs: Began to 'host' a Desu Hour with Jen while the rest of T1B1 meddled with the cameras.
1210hrs: Went to Alumni Canteen with Diana, Jen and Kelvin. Food was OK.
1230hrs: DRANK THE LATTE
1300hrs: Was fully awake, went to Ms Mel's Intro to film class.
1310hrs: Started to fall asleep. Luckly i came to my senses in time.
1330hrs: Started to fall asleep AGAIN. Came to my senses in time AGAIN.
1345hrs: Watched lots of titles and Psycho. Was mixed between wanting to sleep and paying full attention.
1500hrs: Went to collect my EZ-Link. Later followed Jonathan and Diana to BTP to buy art supplies. Status: SLEEPY
After that, the whole day I was between wanting to sleep and being fully awake. I am going to classify latte as DANGEROUS. But that is not going to stop me from drinking more latte.

-Being a man : FAIL-
Huh I just realized Joshua (Tan) and I failed at being a man... When we were accompanying Serena to the bus stop, Josh said its natural for man to ensure girls walk safely home... If like that... why we never accompany chel to wherever? Maybe cos 大姐大 can protect herself? LOL maybe thats why...
I just noticed the time... 11.11 p.m., should be asleep by now (tomorrow got 8 am class) but I guess the caffine from the coke light is the cause of it. I guess I should be lucky caffine still works on me. Its my Redbull.
Tonight half of the FMS ppl went for V for Vedetta. Can't really see much, Joshua (Simons) was sitting infront for me and for the first time, I realised how tall he really is. Maybe I will go rent the movie and watch it at home just to fill up the gaps. Oh btw I saw paul2hill! Was alot thinner than on TV (Like I watch Singapore Idol) Hair was shorter than I heard. I seems the guys from camp did not succeed in cutting his fringe (Or did they? hmmm.....)
After the movie, Joshua T. and I joined up with Joshua S. and gang and went to al-azahar for dinner. Justin and Josh S. was soo funny! They ordered a $8 mutabuk together! The person taking our order was so shocked that he confirm it 3 times. Apprently the $8 mutabuk was HUGE! In the end they could not finish and we came to the rescue.
After dinner, I was so clueless as to how to go to lakeside that I aimlessly followed Serena and Josh T. hoping to find a bus that goes to the nearest MRT station. After we accompany Serena to her bus stop, Josh and I walked down opp. Bukit timah market. In our attempt to find a bus stop, we did not realise the road was one way, and the side we were walking on will NEVER have a bus stop. So since bukit timah plaza was near, we cut thru it and went over to KAP (King Albert Park). There, I finally was in my comfort zone. I took 74 to dover and back to good O lakeside.
At the end of the day, im split between two different groups. Should I hang out more with my T1B1 classmates or should I hang out with the 'FSV and MCM mixed' Raptors Gang... Well good friends should stick together so I should balance my time between the two. Hope you guys don't mind.
Ahh the caffine is starting to wear out... till tomorrow then...
BTW my module blog (yes i need a blog for my assignment) is http://peanutbutterjames.wordpress.com

For those people gave a "Huh?" to my secondary school, if you were to go look at the Straits Times front page, you can read more about my school. (Is my true colours a gangster? LOL i don't know)
Today's Introduction to Film was so much better. At first I was starting to hate the subject but WOW! Today we watched the 1930s Wizard of Oz. 3/4 in colour, this movie is one of the best I have ever seen. completely under rated before i saw it, it was a huge shock to me that the film is so good. Even the animation was good (Its a 1930s film u noe)
Hmm my mood seems to be better... thanks to the movie i guess...

This person makes a net,
This person prays and wishes,
Would it be hard to guess,
Who would catch more fishes?
Learn today at church that just by praying you can't get things done. Though I knew this already it reminded me. Things do not happen naturally. It is the reaction of someone's action. Equivalent trade huh?
If that is the case, who am I really? All my life I have been putting others above myself, thinking about other's feelings other than my own. Is this even normal? Last week when Jeremy and Yi chee came to a totally same assumption but at different days, and even though I told them what I felt at that time, was what I said really true? If you were to ask me about my emotions, I would just give you a blank look. Even up till now im still clueless to my own emotions.
Now that I think about it (2 days of thinking), I realised that my actions are mainly due to others. I am the reaction to people's actions. All that i've done is to make others feel happy. Others above self huh... Even though I am aware that I am following a path that pleases othetrs, I can't seem to break this cycle. When I start to be a little selfish, at the end of the day im always feeling that I did not deserve what I got.
What is my true colours? I seriously don't know. I can't even decide for myself anymore. For example even though I was sick, because I promised Ben and friends, I turned up for dare night. Constant prayer to God through out the friday has help me into lasting through the night. In return now I feel tired and sleepy quite often (Equivalent trade). But oh well. Others above self. This way I won't feel guilty or sad for hurting other's feelings. In a way im glad I went for Dare Night. Thanks to God for delievering me through the night.
Are the people from FMS, ppl I just met for 15 days only, my nakama, my friends I can trust forever? It feels like it, but I hope they will be the ones who will help me realise my true colours, if it is good or bad.
On a brighter note, here is the link to my storytelling module blog (Yes the module requires a blog)

Oh yea there will be NO photos for dare night as it is with the FMS ppl. All that I have are videos of our dares. Don't know if I should post them on Youtube...

-Huh?-
Wow my expectations for friday was so wrong! So much for randomness.
In the morning, we had Storytelling. Don't be fooled by the title of the module! It has NOTHING to do with those bedtime stories and stuff. It is an English essay lesson! Sounds boring right? Well the subject is... just thinking about it but the lecturer Mr. Ryan really brought out the fun in the subject. We written a short story with the sentence: "Jonathan put on his hula girl suit and walk into a temple." (This is what i can remember. Will correct this soon). Had a fun time thinking what Jonathan might be doing.
Second lesson was Art and Design. We almost could not find the room. It was Blk 53 lvl 3 room 7. Level 3 was like an open carpark and we could not see any Room 7 in sight. It was thanks to the floor plan near the lifts that we realised Room 7 was at the far corner and the only way to go there was to walk single file through a narrow passage at the side of the building. SOO EASY TO FIND -.-
During art lesson Ms Wendy taught us all the basics of art and told us to draw lines, shapes and tones. It really reminded me of sec 2 when Mr Goh taught us ALL the basics. Now I know that Mr. Goh is a God at Art. It all looks like child's play now.
Next lesson was Photography. Apprently there was a miss communication (Convert the "i" to an "a" in miss and we would have been alright) in the location of the tutorial and as the lifts were al the way to the top and we were close to being late, we WALKED up the stairs from lvl 3 to 8. At 8, the classrom was really empty and someone noticed the lecturer at the cage (lvl 1). We WALKED down the stairs to the cage and apprently the 3 hours lesson has been transformed into a 30 mins one. We learned how to operate a film type camera (Non digital) and how to change the settings. So cool.
Later after that tutorial, we split up and I met Joshua (Tan) and Jeremy at the library. Watched 300 and waited for Chel and Jarrel. Went to Canteen 1 for dinner (WTH is it with canteen 1?) and walked together to the Dare night event. Apprently there were only 15 ppl who signed up and so we were split up into groups of 3 (With 2 GL with us). Due to randomness, Chel and I formed one group and Hui Ming joined us.
The whole night was filled with randomness. The location in the clues were changed, we ran up and down the wrong place and we lost our GLs in the process. Due to sheer combination of MCM and FSV, we persevered foward and even though we wasted lots of time running round the campus aimlessly (One clue stated SDAR office and there were two on either sides of the campus), we managed to get FIRST! WOOT! (Im still in shock and awe in being first. It must have been the power of 大姐大!
Note to Chel: Get the Chinese input pack! If i am to type 死乌龟 (Dead turtle), you may think im saying 大姐大 (Big sister) so its really important.
EDIT: K im gonna b helpful and post the download link. DON'T WASTE MY EFFORT!

Huh really sleepy today. Not going to post a essay length post. Just a summary and im going to sleep soon...
Really starting to get a headache looking at the computer screen... gonna force myself to complete this post.
Ok! Today I woke up at 6... stupid 8'oclock class. Did not really get enough sleep. Dunno why but my stomach really hurt... must have been the peaking duck last night. (Will post more about that when im feeling better).
Then throughout the whole day, i was mixed between really sleepy and having the feeling to vomit. (Thank God I did not) Luckly I have a really good classmate: Kelvin! THANK YOU KELVIN!
He really helped me out, offering to eat with me at cheers and accompanying me back to the FMS building. Stupid slope. Just to let you guys know, I was SWEATING while going up the slope. In the process i forgot to join a CCA... hmm maybe thinking about PSP or fencing...
At least today's classes were fun. In the morning we did Studio Production, where we played with the cameras, Visual Switcher and had a chance to direct a simple show. The other lesson we analyzed movie trailers and deduce what the movie was about. Now I know why Chicken Little was a major let down.
After the lessons Kelvin and I took 154 back. Im soo glad I have a direct bus. I had abit of sleep on it. When alighting, I saw Wei Bin. Apprently she was waiting for Jorina to go collect the O Level Certs. Since im feeling abit better, I decided to follow them. So cool! The cert is laminated!
Lol my results are like: BAABAAD.... Stupid D go spoil the sequence. No challenge guessing what subject i got D. Oh well... Randomness.
K gtg sleep now... Will post pictures when im feeling better. Hope I will be well enough to attend Dare Night tomorrow. I WILL go to school tomorrow (Its a must apprently) and Anyone reading this please understand my condition.

-School has begun and im working-
Yes today is like the second day of my new poly life and im working! Nono i did not skip today's lectures, cos today i have no lectures! Guess im the lucky class.Aslo It just so happens (randomness) that my cousin's famous store which sells HANDMADE KOREAN LEATHER SHOES; Lilica, is holding a 'Members' only pre-launch sale and is in need of a bouncer. So guess what? I became that bouncer! (For the record, this is my second time being a bouncer)
As the shop was at The Cathay and there had a Ben's & Jerry's (Today is free scoop day) I thought i can drop by and get myself one free scoop. BAD MISTAKE!
Note that B&J is on the 2nd floor. The queue in the photo is on the 3RD FLOOR!
Im sorry i could not take a better shot. I can't leave my shop post u noe... Well even though I did not get to eat the free ice cream, luckly at the basement there was the famous Oyster Mee Sua... Just typing it makes me hungry.
Well another strange thing happen (Randomness). While working, I recieved a sms from Jeremy and I replied it back like how I would normally reply the mcm-er. After like 3 - 4 sms, I then finally realised I was not sms-ing to the MCM Jeremy. I was sms-ing to my Sec sch jr. Jeremy! Screwed up piece of randomness.
Was so bored that I taken a pic of myself WITH FLASH!
The famous Handmade Korean Shoe shop: Lilica. For handmade stuff, things here are pretty cheap and good. Lots of customers said its very comfortable (Even for high heels!) Too bad im a guy and can't wear them. Hey if anyone wants to go to the shop or get a name card msg me! My presence may deliver a discount.

-A new Beginning-
HA! My poly life has begun! Today I took MRT from Lakeside to Clementi and took 184 to Ngee Ann. 184 was soo crowded and slow that when we were just before Maju Camp, ANOTHER 184 overtaken us and inside was really empty. Should have waited abit more.
I met Joshua Simons on the way to the FMS building. Apprently his free Mac bag was in black and orange! MY FAVOURITE COLOURS! The stupid ppl who gave me my mac said that there was only one colour. WOW im so colour blind (-_-)... Oh well at least i've personalised my bag. Sewing is such a pain...
My first lesson was Photography with my advisor Mr. Siew Kee Liong. He gave us a brief into on the general rules and stuff. Quite a friendly guy. Next was Studio Production with Mr. Kwon Jae Youn. He is really very funny and always made us laugh. (in a good way) He also gave a brief intro on himself. Korean guy that used to work with Samsung Adverts. Soo cool. Last was this Canadian - French Lecturer Morrissette. She showed us this short film called Jesses by Royston Tan. To my opinion, it was a really hate/EMO film. I think that short film killed my inner child.
The later films were much better. We watched this stop motion film about a person fighting a chair called A Chairy Affair and a full lengthed black and white movie called Shadow of doubt. Nice movie... for a 1940s film. Morrissette told us to critic on those films.
After the lecture we went to the atrium. It was raining heavily and so I decided to do the homework at the library. Met Joshua and Val there. As Kelvin and I slowly thought of what to type, I noticed Chelmin online in Bonjour (Like what are the chances!) Apprently she was also in the library as well thus our 'bonjours' can link. Using iChat, we tried to locate each other's position but only Chel managed to locate me. When she stood up away from iChat to go find me, I notice out of the window across the atrium to the other side of the library, a girl in white stood up. (WTH SHE WAS JUST INFRONT OF ME!).
Randomness happens to me everyday so im used to it. After Kelvin and I moved to chel's location (her's have power for my 'PeanutButter'), we went back to work. Kelvin went home first and I wrote finish my assignment. Oh yea Chel was a great help! (Can't say in helping what... the lecturers may be looking at this) so THANK YOU CHELMIN.
After I met chel's friend and they have both gone home, I packed up my stuff and prepared to leave. Randomness happens! I met Yi Chee and gang! Apprently like the Mass com peeps, FSV 1.1 has to read up a book BY TOMORROW and the book has like only copies in the library.
Randomness happens everyday.
Oh yea here is my group in the FMS FOC Camp. We have become best buddies ever since.

Hmm edited my last post. Strange I forgot to blog about today.
It is also strange how God works. In church I was trying to find the verse about casting away ur eye if it causes sin... (Matt 5:29-30) and could not find it. At home when I opened my Bible, Lo and behold the verse I was looking for was bookmarked earlier at church. (I bookmarked Matt 7:7 at church)!
Whats even more amazing was that when I mention the 'divorce verse' to Chelmin but forgot the exact verse number, THE VERSE WAS BELOW THE 'EYE CASTING' VERSE! God works in mysterious ways (and causes me to do thing in randomness too?)
Wow this is soo amazing Im gonna blog this in a seperate post! Pls read up Matt 5:29-30. It will really strengthen up a true Christian.

-And a new chapter begins (Edited)-
Hmm just got back from the Specs shop. Apprently my degree went up by 25 so now its like 700+, 600+... Heng its not 4 digits. It looks like im gonna wear those thick sided specs. Not that I have a choice. FMS is all about image.
Woke up to my handphone ringing at 7.30 a.m. really sleepy. It turned out Ren Wei and Jia Yuan wanted to swim at my condo's pool... oh well im not the kind of person who would usually said no. Wish i was though... Because of this when I went to church I was really sleepy, lucky i did not sleep during Bible class and Bro. Richard's sermon. Both were really intresting. Even now I still feel sleepy, heres the reason why:
Yesterday night there was a 4E2 BBQ gathering at my house. The 'Food committe' pretty messed up the number of food. We had 16 ppl turning up and there was 20 otar and 10 fish balls. We also messed up the satay. Apprently the satay we bought was in a lump and was meant for microwaving. One lump wasted...
The guys that carry... And the Gals that poke the chicken
When setting the fire, my father set up everything. Wow he must be a super pro! After he left, the fire was so strong that 2 packets of charcoal used up pretty fast and the Aluminium foil melted, YES MELTED! The heat was even so strong that the otar CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE HEAT!
My life is full of randomness. So many things happening around me. In the end we ordered Canadian pizza.
Hmm school is starting tomorrow... I remembered the lecturer saying he's gonna mail us something but my mail is empty and i keep getting 404 error from Mel.
Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
Note:~
To FMS ppl: Wow I think i've been around u guys too much. Feels weird not to be together.
To BBQ attendies: Those who have not paid yet pls pay $7 to me (James) and if you ate the pizza pls pay $3 more.

Life is all about how you handle it.
Wow Poly life is sure different! Its so easy to make friends. Like for example now, just 1 week since we met, the FMS Hawks and Eagles group are soo bonded! This is like a cultural shock for me as I am usually cold and a loner to strangers but this time im open... hmmm strange.
Lsat night I had a good sleep! Luckly the Banana Java Chip did not get me on high too high. THANKS YI CHEE!
I don't know why but im like so in to iChat, but sadly most of the ppl around me don't like using it... I wonder why...
Last night i had a chat with chelmin... apprently her self esteem is soo negative... RAPTORS CHEER HER UP! I also realised that being EMO should be in moderation. Hmm i don't understand how cutting urself helps at all... After all, its not ur fault. If it was me, i would mass nudge random ppl... at least its more constructive...
And oh yea... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERENA!
Here is my timetable for those who want it.
EDIT: I just realised that when the lecturer said the timetable has a lesson missing, I did not expect the lesson to be on friday which is already pack... oh well at least tuesday no school

K yesterday basically had the mac training, Checking of class, biometric thing, Adobe Creative suite.
First of all I intro-ed Yong Ming and Peici to the Raptors Gang. I dunno why but i feel bad.... maybe its due to us being seperated in the LT and Computer lab. Sorry.
When it was checking of class, I noticed there is no familier face in my class T_T. I was thinking this might happen as..... I HANG OUT TOO MUCH WITH U MCM-ERS! Oh well... im not gonna stop, just go on making friends.
Oh yea did i mention FMS gave us FREE Adobe Creative Suite? That means Photoshop FREE!!!! Oh man im so happy! On a side note, Reformatting ur Mac is the dumbest smart thing to do -_-
K what is a biometric thing? Its using ur fingerprint to enter the FMS building! YES A FINGERPRINT! Haha i dun need a fujitsu to do the fingerprint thing!
K after all that, the gang went to play billard. Was fun at first, me and Yi chee VS Jarrel and 大姐大 (Chel). The game was full of randomness. There are those we can hit, those we randomly missed (0_0). In the end our 大姐大 won by a few balls.
Second round it was Yi Chee and Jarrel VS 大姐大 and I. LOL 大姐大 and I full of randomness! When I was to start break, I shot the ball, it curved, zoom pass the 15 balls and into a hole. LIKE WTF? BREAK OSO GOT MISS ONE.... when it was second round, 大姐大 shot a ball into the hole. Full of randomness. Oh yea how did we win? Yi chee shot the black ball in the wrong hole by mistake. Full of randomness.
It was then 大姐大 and I VS Jeremy and Yi chee(If i can remember). We spend the first 9 shots still open. NOT A SINGLE BALL IN! After a while, Yi Chee shot a perfect snook and snooked the 大姐大
Oh well... a day full of randomness.
Note: It turned out my billard stick tip was slanted. So much for randomness

RAPTORS OEI~ OH SHIT, A Brief summery!
A Brief Summary (aka FMS camp RAWKS!)Just came back from FMS camp. Was damn fun. Thanks Ben and Peggy for helping us (Hawks) OWN the others! Raptors rawks!
During the camp all we did was run, run and run. Then stupid sia... the amazing race our FIRST STOP was a Blk 60. We circled the block like 3 times but could not find the Station master. Then we realised HE WAS AT THE CANTEEN. WTF CANTEEN IS CANTEEN, BLK 60 IS BLK 60!
Ok lah give him chance lah.... the canteen was NEAR blk 60. BUT KNN I THINK HE WANTED US TO KILL HIM. HE GAVE US THE WRONG CLUE! And wrong is like something that can kill us... Ngee Ann poly is so damn big and the wrong clue cost us to go wrong station. NVM Hawks can still catch up. Then we go our correct station, "Why are you guys so late arrr..."
WAH PIANG LOOSE ATTITUDE SIA! KK some of u campers reading this will say that I never looked like i lost attitude wad... Cos im not the person who would let others see i LA. Later u guys oso LA. So can lah, i go to the back and cheer the Johnstance (fat dude) to run with us.(Shld have poked his ass, the PSkia -read further to find out why) When we reached the last station I thought we will be last. BUT NO! WE CHIONG UNTIL LIKE 2ND! Heng i nvr LA on everyone.
Later we did the dress up GL thing. Wah lau Chel the drawing damn nice sia!(Oh yea she also designed the flag in 5 mins while we pondered for 20 mins) Yi chee, Jeremy and I went foward to make the mini hat. Was really nice, looked abit like an UFO. And of course, WE WON FIRST!
At night I tried to sleep but can't. First off some of the boys were talking abt perv stuff... dunno why Paul twohill name got come out. Maybe cos he will be in MCM this year... Also the room was damn cold and Yi Chee was shivering. In the end i shared the pain with him and opened up my sleeping bag. Slept for 1 hour. Woke up really sleepy and just nice the canteen was open. Bought myself and ice-kopi and it kept me awake like the whole day.
Later in the afternoon, we practiced the skit. Wah everyone so on sia... eh where is Jonstance? Hmmm maybe he went for smoking break.... KNN HE PANG SEH US! STUID PS-KIA NVR TELL US. Ok lets just forget abt him ok?
In the end, we Raptors and Hawks kicked ass.
Edit: I rushed posting this, so im gonna post on the water bombs and the 'Night walk Gang' soon.
K im back. So here is the winning 'Dress the GL' with Peggy as the GL and Chel as the designer.
The Final Battle
K during the Final battle where all 3 families (Raptors, Mystics, Wild Cats) and the GLs fight out in a 4 way water bomb battle. At first we allied with the wild cats for a peace treaty. So all the Raptors did was to camp and protect our base. Mystics were aiming for the GLs, Wild Cats were aiming at Mystics. Do note that Wild cats had 100+ more bombs than us.
As the battle continued, the GLs bombs began to deplete. And where do I come in? A the Raptors were camping, a few of the boys (including me) became 'Chiongers (Rushers)' As a group, we chiong to both Mystics and the GLs. As the GLs had no bombs left, I chiong to their base and like the Death Star blowing up, the bomb in my hand punched through the 'lolipop'.
With the GLs out, they decided to join our worthy cause. They were advicing us again and again to finish off Mystics. Good thing we did not take their advice. As Wild Cats went to wipe off Mystics, we watched as Wild Cats threw their bombs and thus bringing our bombs count to be around the same.
After replenishing bombs on both sides. the battle started again. Now we, the rushers, are now promoted to Kamikaze dudes. While having our last 'sake' at our base, the others (plus GLs) formed a line and with 'Banzai' in the air, the front line rushed foward straight. Meanwhile, us the kamikaze ppl rushed from the front and sides from behind the line and weeved through the Wild cats. Fellow kamikaze Joshua Simons dashed with me and together we brought damage to the enemy's 'lolipop'.
Both Wild Cat's and Raptor's bombs have depleted (Cats=5, Birds=1) and the game paused due to someone throwing a pail, YES A PAIL, at our lolipop and apprently it hit Chelmin. The pussies even wanted to claw the lolipop. Pissed off with the fowl attack by the wild cats, Everyone formed a line again and now all former rushers formed a human shield round the one guy who had our last bomb. Briskly walking foward, our line met the Cat's line and with the urge to kick their ass, our line pushed through and with the final bomb, made lots of damage on the enemy's 'lolipop'.
In the end the cats also rushed their 5 bombs at us but thanks to our 'tankers' we managed to burst the bombs before it reached our base. Apprently MOST of our Kamikaze ppl did NOT get hit at all! I left the battle a healthy man. (Note that if we were really kamikazes, we must commit seppuku cos we were untouched)
Even though we won the battle, many T-shirts, Pants, Shoes were wet in battle and had one victim. Not gonna say who. you can guess yourself.

Hmm last thursday after filming for Project: Memories at the stadium i met up with shawn, liz, zaim and together we went to Peici house for 4E2 gathering. On the way we decided to meet Jia yuan. Wah lau eh we supposed to meet him at city hall but he go take until after bugis. Heng Zaim ask me to call JY and ask where his is or else we will be stuck at city hall waiting for ghost.
After we reached Tanan Merah we need to take bus to Peici house. At the stop shawn press the bell but lizann say its not the stop... Then we were scolding shawn and stuff and once the bus started to move, Lizann and Zaim realised THAT WAS THE STOP. Oh well, b'cause of that we had to walk down a hill.
At peici house, joycelyn, vee sheng, jie jun and peici (duh) were already there. Later came rachel and jia ying. Faizal, uzair and sufiyan came a little later. We ate pizza, pizza and more pizza... watched The Guardian abit and played Xbox racing and halo abit. At night we slowly walked to pasir ris park and went through a pitch black mangrove area led by peici's bro. Even i was scared a little. I was so dark that when u reach out your hand, you can hardly see your fingers. What was worse was that we walked until a dead end overlooking a pond and the area was foggy. (It later turned out that it was my glasses that was foggy)
But that was not shocking. What was shocking was that AFTER we came out, the girls (Who did not enter the mangrove) was running to us screaming. It turns out they heard a errie kind of singing. At first i thought psycho had came to ruin our gathering but it was actually someone singing out of tune nearby.
Till the next gathering.... (Maybe BBQ this sat at my house?)
