Geez...... guess wad? Sunday was Wrestlemania nite, n' Johnny n' mr. Teo came over to ton at moi place for maHjong. guess wad? after a gruelling 6 hours n' 3 rounds, I emerged viCtorious!~ :)
I wonder why mr. Teo keeps hustling me at the maHjong table. I try to keep up with their pace, but hW is juz uBerly skiLled at piSsing me oFf. Wat to do? he's uBerLy sKillEd at piSsing Me ofF!!!~ I was uBerly dulan when hW tried to act like a retArd lor~ Juz couldn't sTand him at All!!!~
One thing to take note when hW comes to my house is to sToCk uP fOOd... he eAts, muNches, cHomps, biTes, chEws NON-Stop!!!~ He questioned why moi parents bought 3 packets of pau back, when in the morning, only 1 packet was left in the fridge. Guyz, eXercise your poWer oF imaGinaTion...
Another thing to take note when he comes, make my bed as messy & untidy & dirty as possible. A jerk he is, promised not to sleep on moi bed, what happened?? Fell asleep on the bed which belonged to yours truly...sLept liKe a loG...remembered him playing wif moi foNe again b4 he wandered off to dReamLand...
And that brings me to the last (but not least) & third point to take note of... neVer, I repeat..neVer eVer will I allow him to touch, much less, sEe moi foNe. The last prank he played on me involved sending things like "Oi fuck you! This is my forfeit..pls don't take it to heart" to peeps on moi conTacT liST, from names beginning with "A" to those which starts with "C".
So much for him being brothers wif me......bLeaHzzZzz......

FOC briefing today. Reporting time was 11am. Wait here wait dere, end up 1140+ den start. So much for unity, I was the only food comm sub-comm who turned up, the rest couldn't make it. Ahmad + Alwyn + Yao Ming= Food Comm. The same thing for prog comm oso, only afew turned up. Log comm oso alot nva came, but still had the greater presence compared to the other sub-committees. During the briefing, the sub-empires for FOC were oso announced, including the Head GLs.
Den, we were separated into grps of 5. I was in the "1" grp, led by chongguang. Next up was icebreaker games, for the GLs n' sub-comms to mix ard. Guang, Phyllis, Shazlee, Tie Ming, Soon Po, Tofu, Christopher, Aisha, Rajes, Linda, Li Peng, Yiling, David, Jiajun, Yongzhuang, Kaiwei, Jasper, Daniel, Ah Boon, Alan, n' maybe afew other names tt I couldn't remember. Icebreaker games included the passing game n' the tiu tiu tiu game. The crackers game was......iMpReSsIvE...so much for sabotaging, biting chunks out of the rice cracker.
After that was mass games. Omg, standing on someone's right leg, by putting my left leg on theirs, exerting full force on the weak feet. I must grumble abit la...To play this game, think all the GLs n' sub-comms n' FAs should not wear anything on their feet, to minus away all the disadvantages and unfairness of shoes over heels and heels over barefeet. Imagine a shoes stepping on ur feet, or a pointed heel pushing into ur skin... perhaps u know how to spell the word "P~A~I~N"?? After the V-shaped game, we were to play the elephant game. Damn, should hav removed my ring b4 the game, it was excruciating when Timothy kept pulling back my hand to maneuvere me. O~U~C~H!!!~ And soon after that, we were told to stand in a circle n' sit down, message the person in front of us, n' sing "1 little 2 little 3 little indians......"
N' that's how today's FOC briefing ended. Looking forward to the FOC pre-camp on the 3rd......expect lotsa cheers...original ones, that is...

Woah!!~ These few days have been "action packed". Mon-Tue: It was an overnight mahjong session with hanwei n' johnny. That's rite, 3P mahjong. Ended 2nd round at ard 0820, den went to wash up n' prepare to go out. Went home with hanwei to take his stuff, after which we took train frm Simei to Clementi. I had red bean corn, while he had honeydew sago, b4 boarding bus to NUS. NUS is BIG!!!!!~ man. In TP, u could rely on ur legs, but it's not so in NUS. Dere's actually shuttle buses whole day long to fetch from 1 place to another. It's entirely a series of roads in NUS, juz like when u drive in to one of those landed property area, where it's made up of a series of small lanes/roads. After that, we went to Seng Kang via bus, n' recce abit @ Compass Point. Den, we took the super long journey from Compass Point to Ponggol Plaza. Was supposed to hunt for hanwei's Mix-Star slippers, but found out it was out-of-stock. Poor bro, he "killed" his precious pair of slippers during the SL Camp. N' he needed one urgently for fri's OTC outing. Later, we went to the eating house near block 196 for dinner. Found out that my fren Daniel was actually staying juz in blk 196B, so gave him a call n' asked he wanted to meet me downstairs. Yeah!~ he did come down, but left me with a LARGE bag of my comics which I lent him last year or so.
Wed: Went to sch for class meeting. Reached late, n' the meeting was over abt 10-15 minutes after I stepped into the room. So called hw over to sch for lunch. Went straight to gym after the abit-heavy lunch. The session was short, cos' had to leave for Taka b4 530pm, so that we can reach Kino at 6pm, punctual enough for hw's SIP colleague to do me a favour. WEre running late, so no choice but to alight n' shift to cab halfway. Arghh....ERP charge was outrageous, an $6 trip became $8.10. So much for hw helping me to save $$... -_-''' After getting my stuff @ Kino, accompanied hw to Heeren to hunt for slippers again. Havannas slippers are nice, price damn nice too!~ It's a no-no frm hw immediately. In the meantime, he oso spotted what he wanted @ X-Factory. It was a fruitful trip after all. Next, we took bus down to PS. Bought a pair of sandals each @ Sports Connection. Wow, the sandals actually came with a shoe bag!~ Settled our undecided-what-to-eat dinner @ Burger King. Student Whopper Meal Please!!~ haha~~
Thurs: Morning mahjong session. Yizhen, Cailian, hw n' me. Finally 4 pple mahjong at last. Bloody hw, dunno is he purposely or wat, kept throwing winning tiles to his gf lor. Idiot, I think the number of times he "feed" tiles more than the number of sausages he ate at my place lor. Hate him for turning my kitchen into a mess, n' I still do. Made my kitchen greasely, oily n' sticky. It's a nightmare everytime he comes, he thinks it's a kopitiam lor, cos' hotel u need to pay, but kopitiam hor, u can stay as long as u want. I'm not kiddin lor. After 4-5 hours of mahjong, we headed to sch for gym once again. Short one for hw, as he had meeting @ 6pm. So lonely, I m so lonely...... Finished at ard 1930, smsed him to check if he's ready to go. nope, not at all. So, I made a trip down to Bugis Junction Rebirth to get him his slippers, for next day's OTC outing. Met him at my house, when he put down his belongings, n' we went to Whampoa for dinner. Shared cai tao kuey, heh mee, pork-rib noodles n' cuttlefish kankong beehoon, n' 2 cups of sugar cane. Boy were we full. Back home, I forbade him to use my MSN. N' guess what, he thought I was joking. Bloody hw, when I came out of the bathroom, I checked my message history, n' dere, he did it again. Too bad he fell asleep, without a blanket, cos' he woke up ard 6 in the morning and told me he was feeling very cold, n' needed a blanket.
Fri: Morning call by hw's gf. Pretend to go back to sleep. But, the constant "sickos" "sickos" I kept hearing made it impossible to ride the bus to dreamland. A strength of 30 strong visited Sentosa Siloso beach today. Played volleyball, soaked in the water, come up, go back into water again. Time passed by, faster than a speeding bullet. Dinner at the hawker near the bus terminal. A good $10 spent on dining, no regrets. The food was yum yum!!~~
Here I am, back at home, blogging. Tat, Jasmine, James and Hw went to Pavillion to play pool, should hav ended by now, by right...
Need some rest, to freshen up for FOC briefing tmr.

Just been back from SL Camp not long ago. Didn't wanted to go at first. For some reasons, I couldn't go to sleep until 4am on the previous night before Day 1, and I actually hadn't packed my camping gear, which was supposed to be done on monday. Could still remember how I dragged my reluctant feet to walk to the bus stop, which the journey seemed like an eternity. Because of my dilly-dally, I was almost an hour late for registration.
When I reached the Sports Complex, the participants were already in their groups playing icebreaker games. I was allocated to my group Pollux, in which I knew about 70% of the people there, familiar faces like qingcai, weisheng, yiling, eddie, made me less tensed. New acquaintances included, jun quan, leon, meiqi and liping.
After the icebreaker games, we were told to change into out red SL t-shirt to proceed to the LT for the Director's Dialogue. After that, we had our station games consisting of 10 stations. The games were fun and effective for team-building. We got wet as we played with water, but were lucky enough to have avoided the flour game, as time was a constraint, as well as the rainy weather. The water bag games, the pass water games, the mosster game, the pearl-spitting game and the some more which I cannot remember were enjoyable and all of us had fun.
At night after dinner, we had dance session where we learnt how to do the Biz Dance. This year, only main comms were around to teach the SLs, the programmers and the logs were not present. After which was the game of Cluedo, an ingenuous plot from one of our programmers. In actual fact, Eugene raped Joan, Anthony killed Eugene and then pulled Joan down with him when he jumped down the building. Most of the groups guessed it, however Naobe did the best analysis of the whole situation, as a result of their unrelenting spirit and perseverance. Kudos to them!~
Couldn't sleep at all in the sports complex, twisted and turned but could not go asleep. The speed 3 fan was blasing cold waves at me, while the mosquitoes were swarming at every opening. But then again, it's a camp after all, we are there to develop ourselves, not to sleep.
The next morning, Vince04 led us morning PT, which was some stretches and one round of jog along the school track. Following up was the Egg->Chick->Eagle->Immortal game. Damn, I evolved 2 times into an immortal, only to be defated by Roy of main comm twice!!~ In the end, I end up being an egg, and had to use my buTt to spell out "Synergy Leaders", malu ar, pai seh ar, embarassed ar...~
After PT was breakfast, after which was yet another dance session, followed by a cheer session, where we did the Business Medley. Then after lunch, we played Out-of-School game. We made an impact, as we were the the 2nd last group to leave, but took the shortest time to complete the game. Pollux Ke Ma Ma~~
Dinner ended, and we had to start finalizing for the performance night. After much discussions, we attempted to try the Jian4 Gui3 (see ghost) thingie. The traditional Night Walk, one of the highlights of many camps, was next after the entertaining performance night. We were told to walk around the School of Engineering, an unfamiliar location. Good or bad, we were arranged into groups of 4. It spoiled all the fun, I supposed.
Day 3, Scavenger Hunt. Alot of items, a total of 20+ items were deleted off the list, no questions asked. Nonetheless, we still managed to have fun in the remianing 70+ items. Crazy things we did, doing biz dance outside a coffee shop, the 69 position, asking 7-11 what time it closes, 15 butt cracks, moaning for the ducks at the duck rice stall, giving numbers to a stranger, asking a stanger to do a wedgie, show chest hair and use scotch tape to peel it out, just so that to earn points. After lunch was the Grand Finale of the SL Training Camp 2005---The Final Clash. Pollux got wiped out midway in the lollipop game, cos' we had the aid of ex main-comm eddy and programmer jeremy. But one thing to note, Andrew stayed pretty long in the ballon game, with a 2-on-1 disadvantage. Kudos to him!~
Overall, prize presentation: 3rd, POLLLUX 2nd, PERSEUS 1st1st1st1st......... NAOBE!!~ congrats congrats congrats Best SL.........Lee Tat Ming.
After break camp, quite a number of us went to the CPF bulding, a tradition for SLs and BSC after every camp. Two sides were playing games, the sub-comms were playing zhong1 ji2 mi4 ma3 (terminal code), while the few were playing the "tiu tiu tiu" ( transfer power ) game. The losers of both sides had to do forfeits of Dare. From hugging the Mr. Kentucky, running with the top down, licking the toes, squeezing the nipples with the toes, anything you name, they did it. Onlookers were puzzled, the KFC staff were interested, the KFC customers were surprised.
Once again, I never regret joining this camp. Thankfully, I attended this camp, as I witnessed many many things. Many many things to learn from. This camp gave me some opportunity to talk to weisheng. Don't know if I got closer anot, but I think the unfamiliarity was gone. I guess many people were envious of Sean during the dancing segment after final clash, coz' he had such "good" treatment. Maybe the only thing I missed was......for you to find out?!~

Felt like sharing what happened on my 20th birthday celebration, so here goes......
My actual birthday was 31st March, but due to exam reasons, instead of pre-celebration, I had a post-celebration. Started clearing up my room on the 30th, threw away lotsa junk n' unwanted stuff, vacuumed my room until no single speck of dust to be found. Cleared away everything lying idle on my computer desk and study table, to make room for space, just blank, empty space.
On the day itself, last saturday. The whole event began. My brother's friends arrived much earlier than my pals. My first friend to reach was Wei Jian, my ex-classmate from VS. Following up, james, yupei, sing ju, hanwei, johnny and yanting reached subsequently at my place. I guess the food that was catered that day was acceptable, as I didn't hear much complaints from guests and the like. Unfortunately, this year, a few people didn't turn up, my uncles and aunties as one of them were at a trip in Taipei, while the other were having another party, my cousin's 21st birthday. Nevertheless, I still received red packets from them, though they didn't turn up. However, it was quite well unexpected that my grandmother was not present, she said she was feeling unwell, so only my grandfather and my two uncles came.
Wei Jian and James were the first duo to leave my house. I walked with them to the nearest bus stop and waved my goodbyes. Afer which, I returned to the party.
I don't know how to describe my "so-called" pals, as they ransacked my computer files, and they found out about my little Communication Skills 1 folder. What was in there? Don't ask me, ask them la~ Kanna sai, made me so embarassed and nervous sia~
Then after awhile, after the cake-cutting, Yu Pei was also beggining to leave, so I walked him to the bus stop and accompanied him while waiting for his bus to arrive. I returned home, only to find out that Sing Ju has made his silent departure without me knowing. Now, only yanting, johnny and hanwei were still around. Before I could take a rest, yanting told me that he's going home, so I stood up and walked him downstairs. He knew that I was wore out from the 2 walks to the bus stops, so he eased my plight by just letting me accompany him down the lift to the void deck.
Back up, most of my guests had already went home. Only some adults were still around playing mahjong. Thus, hanwei, johnny, ping lon and me decided to play mahjong at the comfort of my cosy little cubicle. The games were very slow, mostly due to my fault. We played from 11 to around 4 in the morning, just 1 round of mahjong. We played with chips, no money involved, and I emerged 3rd, pretty lousy for an amateur like me. Needless to say, hanwooooooooiii was the champion lor, damn qian4 bian3 lol!!~
After the mahjong, johnny and hanwei wanted to go over to my brother's room to play PS2, so I bo bian help them set up the console lor. They played Vampire Night, while I went to have my relaxing shower. I think maybe I stayed in the bathroom too long, cause when I came out, johnny told me that they had already finished the game, and hanwei was lying on the floor asleep in my brother's room.
My cousin slept on my bed, so I spread mattress on the floor to sleep lor. Didn't expect hanwei to come into my room halfway, snatching my blanket and pillow, leaving me with nothing but an awkward and uncomfortable sleeping posture, which I had no choice, but to pretend that I was sound asleep, to not make him feel pai seh...
It was after a short wink that johnny woke me up and asked me to open the door for him to leave the house, at 6am. Initially, we decided to go to Mustafa in the morning to walk around, but seems that the sleepy bug caught hanwei and me, and the whole matter was pushed aside by our exhuasted bodies.
The next morning, we woke up at 11 plus, that's when hanwei received a call from his mother that he's supposed to go for the Qing Ming thingie that morning, and he's expected to be at his granny's by a certain time.
So, I accompanied hanwei to his waiting place, which was Ho Kee (Tim Sum) @ Geylang/Aljunied. We ordered a soya bean drink and beancurd jelly, as the weather was very very hot, and the heat was excruciatingly unbearable. Moments later, hanwei's vehicle arrived, and I waved goodbye to my good pal.
It was quite an memorable and unforgettable birthday, especially with the mahjong session.
