snigger

sorry to break up the trend of reminiscising about graduation. otherwise i shall bore all of u to bits with more news about rafflesian spirit n stuff. besides i think i put it in my bloggie already. hahaha.and big ming...cheating is bad. *stares hardly. btw rmb to go lecture ehz.(;
so anyway i thought i'lll move on to something slightly more present. like chem pract where i lost all e 4 calculation marks, 3 of the plan ur own expt, and 6 gas detection ones for not detecting oxygen on three occassions. yay! physics not that bad at least. lost one sf. and speaking of physics there was a total leak *glares at some certain schools. no fair. chem also. no comments on bio but i heard the prawn was weeird...chinguan scanned his cooked prawn n he sent me e hpoto hahha.
oh and rj openhse. quite comical. the gym perf actually. the rhy girls were like doing a pretty good job then andy comes along, crashes around the stage like some clumsy oaf, nearly falls off any number of times, and finally *does a jianzi off the stage, nearly killing his teammate in the proccess as he comes crashing down right beside her.* dramatic exit. truly worthy of a captain hahahahha. and the gym board..hahhaha. got pictures of everyone! but e rj gymnasts. ok im exaggerating but u get what i mean. kinda like the rigym's board actually. haha.haa.nvm its ok those than wanna join will join and those that aint interested wont. i think gym will be damn packed nxt yr. n ri gym aint e biggest of places * gasps then how. nvm nxt yr then worry.
and finaly i get to go overseas wif e sch hhah. go china! more accurately youngman's hometown. supposedly..actually i dont even know wad we're supposed to do there. pretend to train mebbe. we'll get totally pawned anyway. like sean was telling us abt some sri lankans who came over to sji to train, not that im discriminating against anybody, its just how he described the incident thats funny. nth to do wif sri lanka i think its a great place we learnt about in ss hehe.
boingboing. must try not to screwup everything else. den can finally get done wif o's. just like..2.5 weeks more? and ppl pls try n post at least. hahaha. tt's all frm me bye.
boingboing when will i finally learn a brani properly.

RI Graduation

Wow RI Graduation eh? Mine seems like a whole lifetime ago...

RI Batch of 2000 I am, and to think it's only been 4 years, and in these 4 years I've accumalated more memories than I have in the first 16 years of my life.

My time in RI is always close to me, and I think that it was the happiest time of my life. Not in that I had the most fun, but in that it was a time of innocence. Before my eyes opened up to the reality which we call life. Things were so simple back then. Study, play, study play eat...

I'll never forget the times on the Astroturf playing soccer with my 4D guys, laughing my head off at the antics of my classmates, and of the most riduculous tackles and fumbles... Sleeping through ALL of De Cruz's classes, playing in Chinese class getting Heng Hui Joo (gosh is that how you spell her name?) all riled up with our lack of discipline (incidentally she's now Mrs something, cause she married my ex's uncle), and having the time of my life.

There was never stress in RI. You had a test later? Well just pop over to a neighbouring class and ask them for the paper and answers hehe. Failed? Aiya who cares just sign the damn test yourself and your parents will never find out haha...

Then came Sec 4 and the realisation that oh Shit! The O's are almost upon me and I haven't bloody studied hahaha... Then mugging away like mad for 2 months and taking the prelims and O's.

Ok I'm rambling. Dunno where this post is bringing me, but I'm just happy to reminisce. I just hope you guys can relate to what I'm saying.

Want you all to cherish your time in RI. The friends that you will make/ have made will stick to you for life if you forge the ties strongly enough. Just last month when I was back in Sg, I met up with Ziyang, Manson and Benedict. Don't know if you all remember them, but they were in Gym, and from my batch. And seeing them just brought me right back to RI days. The childishness (they bloody stripped me in the swimming pool!), the comradary, the fun times we had back in RI training on the tramp.

And now I've been through JC, a little bit of NS, and now I'm already into my 2nd year of Uni. But the friends I had in RI followed me through these phases... And are still with me. The lessons Gym taught me embody itself in the way I work, the way I live, the way I study.

I apologise for the jumble of a blog, but I hope that something got through to you all in the end. Maybe when I'm free I'll type a proper one rather than just whatever comes to mind. :)

graduation

grad ceremony was 2 days ago.

16th october 2004 - the day i graduated from raffles institution

so 4 years have flashed by since the day i stepped through the gates of ri. these 4 years have been filled happiness and sorrow, achievements and failures, but most importantly, ive made so many great friends in this very place.

how i would cherish the times we spent together, going for extended toilet breaks, screwing ard during yaksy's class and going for lunch at ET's coffeeshop. i will remember chiangmai chapter, how joey almost fell off doi inthanon, how we had cup noodle parties and how we shopped at the night bazaar. and how can i forget the johore trip in sec 3, when my table held the record of wolfing down the dishes the fastest, when we sat in the the boat watching fireflies, when we learnt all abt faraj belendir (leaky vagina) in the animal farm (oh there were posters on forced copulation and castration of cows and pigs too).

4M, the class that ive spend my past 2 years with. i will not lie and say that i love everyone of them, because i dont. but ive gotten close (dun think dirty) to many of them in these past 2 years. i remember last year, we had the greatest form tcr ever - prof limboonhuat. those were the days man. "leonard, hus ure best friend?" "JQUEK". ryan, paul, sinchi, dathau, weihan u guys have been totally awesome. thanks for being there with me. i will always look back fondly at the times when we swore at yaksy in unison, the times when we screwed around in the toilet (figuratively of course). it is these small things that i will remember everyone by and remember the days of our lives in ri.

gym has also been an integral part of my life. i dont deny that training could be really #(@*! up at times, but on the whole, it has been a joy training for competition. that being said, im really worried that ri gym is going to kapoot nxt year. to the sec 3s: work harder, pon less.

as i sat in the albert hong hall, together with 540 other sec 4s, i couldnt help feeling sad. no, maybe not sad. empty rather. the emptiness in my heart, knowing that i was about to leave ri. i love the school, i love the people but as they say, live goes on, i wont say that i dont want to leave ri forever, because i will have to move on.

to raffles institution graduating class of 2004.

conk

ah. moderation was out on monday. horse from 13 pts drop to 9 pts! yay that means he can get into rj arts.

moderation was quite bastard to me though. nver moderate hcl and amath miss by 1. eck nvm la.

tried to start work again over the past few days. the thought of having to remug everything is... @*(&!@(*#. cant wait for the Os to be over man. 1.5 months more to freedom. the acs i physics paper is harder than i thought. the open ended is harder than ri's, although that doesnt say alot since our paper was easy this year. quite freaked for bio. RV papers are challenging man. RV papers are definitely one of the tougher ones around. my classmate, weihan, was being a freak. go and photocopy all the rg papers including sslit??? which he doesnt take. tang showed us all the histelect questions from all the other schools and boy am i glad im not from rg. the setters were being whorish and they didnt test anything on germany. if i say for that paper i would just... die.

lessons arent even lessons now. theyre chao sian. sit there do papers. esp hcl man. i did the chung cheng high hcl paper and i got 0/20 for the cloze. -laughsoutloud- partly due to the fact that i didnt read the passage and i just did the Qs. but mostly because i suck at cloze. hee

Os in 2.5 weeks!!! ole. gep farewell this friday. ole.
