This year's been a crazy one, turning 13 (my fave number) and all, oh well. Apparently I've given up blogging for about half a year, so this post is gonna be extra long cuz, as I said, this year's been crazy, as in really really crazy, and now I'm attempting to write it all down in one massive post.... Oh well, here goes...
um3-5 jan: Orientation n stuff. Haha it was damn fun la ... our 2 sfs, Nicole n Sze Yee were so nice la... we spent the whole time doing a whole load of crap, and something i remember the most was whacko, u know, the get-whacked-with-a-rolled-up-newspaper-if-you-are-too-slow-to-call-out-someone-else's-name game. Then there was the class flag, of which the flag bearer was me! Hahas, it was kinda fun carying it around,but the problem was, some seniors thought i was a sf...hahaha...then there was also the class identity, which was a total flop, because almos everyone forgot to bring it on the concert nite...
sometime during orientation: cca day, on which we went around looking at all the different cca exhibitions, I especially remember the uni group ones, which were held at the field. The girl guides had this wrestle-your-opponent-on-a-pair-of-beams-and-try-to-push-them-off thing, and another one with some catapult thingie. the scouts had some archery stuff, the npcc had this thing about wooden guns, and there was this guy showing off with his wonderful skills with blowing out a kerosene lamp, how absolutely fantastic, I say...Then there was sjab, yay! I loved that one the most, which is particularly because I'm in sjab...hahaha...Anyway, it was there that i met cop. Audrey(oops, did i spell that wrong?) n I also got a nice long ride on a stretcher (during which the seniors fooled around alot until they realised that i wasn't really strapped in...)
8 jan: we go around trying out all the different sports ccas...boring...
i forgot alot of stuff...if you want you can tag n remind me, because i really forgot what happened in most of term 1...
girl guides n scouts day: our class's 3 girl guides, namely Jam, Cherrise n Weixin wore their pe attire n since it was a thursday, we had cme, so they had 2 salute 2 zheng lao shi...too bad they didnt have their uniforms yet... mostly normal...
npcc day: everyone is doing their normal stuff in the morning before flag raising when Zong Long suddenly rushes into class in his full npcc regalia, dumps his bags at his desk and rushes out again ,all in less than 5 seconds. This leaves all the guys and a few other people cheering and everyone else looking a bit blur. During pe lesson, he appears in pe attire, but in the end he still ends up in his npcc uni, continuously complaining about how hot he is(he insists that he means in the physical sense), hahaha...then later on he salutes to yang lao shi, who just says nevermind (apparently he left his uniform at home...)...
28 april: sjab recreational day!!we went off to east coast park and did alot of crap, and then our seniors made us sit in the sea(actually it was really nice), which resulted in everyone getting the pockets in their pe shorts seriously full of sand...And then we decided to bury Daniel in sand because we were really desperate to do something wu liao ( as usual, we were feeling sian). And then we decided to bully our group leader and so we (being sjabers, which means we carry people around alot, especially the guys) carried her all the way to the sea, with the group leader (one of the ma'ams)threatening to get us into serious trouble if we dropped her, and then one of the yr 5 sirs (the one who was the carrot on the everyone-eat-an-apple-now day, sir Tien Leng)came along, and when he found out what we were doing, he actually cheered us along! I seriously do not believe how crazy we people can get...
level camp (somewhere in may): it lasted for 4 days n 3 nites, I think, fusion nite was the most fun event among all that was planned for us, I liked the skit best, the bit about "fight, fight, fight!''.haha. Actaully I loved truth-or-dare/dare-or-dare best. I only kennaed twice. For one i was supposed to do 20 pumpings in one min, but I didn't manage because everyone started arguing about how I was supposed to do it, and in the end I still owe a forfeit, which i haven't done...Then there was one which I was supposed to tell a guy something really dumb, and then I lagged, then it was dinner time, and Weixin(the one who dared me) said I really should tell zl that because I was sitting across him so it was destined...wth....another thing i remember was that everytime we had free time in class, zl, the lance corporal, was continually giving footdrill commands(which I sometimes did cuz of this extreme boredom/sianness that I was facing at that point of time), ugh!!! And there was another time when Jacob was dared to go around the class and say "i'm a baby bumble bee!!!" for 1 minute, which he really did. He looked damn ridiculous, and then Huang lao shi (a yr 5 cher) looked at us and probably told herself that we were absolutely crazy(which ,in my opinion, we are).
19th may: SJAB intra-corps first aid and home nursing competition(std 2s and 3s), in other words, a first aid n stuff competition among the different houses in dhsjab(there are 6, starting with the letters D,H,S,J,A and B, yeah?) There are 3 different sections: first aid(for both ambulances(guys) and nursings (gals)), home nursing(nursings/gals only) and TOC(transportation of casualty, ambulances/guys only). I was in first aid case 2, which means there were 2 of us (Yu Feng and me)were supposed to be in a case scenario in which someone (Man Jia(oops did I spell that wrong?) the passerby who left halfway through the day)knocks me down in basketball game resulting in them (she and Yu Feng)getting in an argument,and then she gets an asthma attack and I (because I fell down) get a broken left tibia(in other words, the front bone on the calf(bottom half of the leg),front bone since that bit of your leg consists of two bones, the tibia(front) and the fibula(at the back, as, who cares? I don't think you will(even/unless you are in sjab),abrasions on both knees(ie. I supposedly scraped both knees, so the got pretty bloody/chocolatey, (chocolatey mouth because the blood was actually chocolate, which,truth be told, tasted kinda nice)) and a knocked out tooth(which resulted in me having an extremely bloody/chocolatey mouth, the knocked out tooth actually being a bit of paper,which one of my seniors accidentally unfolded when she wasn't supposed to.) Oh yes, and then Man Jia decided to give herself the name of Tan Ah Beng, which resulted in loads of sniggers from the seniors tending to us(and also us, ie. Yu Feng and I),which we all attempted to control, but with not much success. There were loads of wierd mistakes which I shall not bother to write because there are simply too many and I'll probably bore you to death if I wrote them here anyway because most of the people reading this probably aren't in sjab and even if you are, I seriously suspect that you don't particularly care... 21st May: The day on which our std 4 seniors gathered us to make us practice CPR after school, which resulted in all of us getting aching arms after about one hour of it, and th day on which I went to school with red knees because of saturday's competition (remember the abrasions I got on my knees? My yr 5 senior used red ink on them), which came off after CPR practice because of the massive amount of perspiration I got because of the weather (and the vigorous pumping we had to do during CPR practice, which you won't understand till you've tried it yourself)
May 23rd (I think): The third day of the healthy living week (or something of the sort anyway), and also the everyone-eat-an-apple-now day on which two of the sirs (I don't know one, but the other was sir Tien Leng(remember?)) dressed up as carrot and apple mascots(and then all my squadmates were going "'omg those are the sirs!!" ), and then the apple guy toppled over and the carrot guy, after many attempts, finally managed to get him up on his feet, upon which we noticed that he had an apple in his mouth (the apple guy, that is( lol, an apple eating an apple?! This is getting seriously dumb.)) Then some people decided that the apple tasted disgusting so they threw it away after eating one bite.
That day was also the LA debate day, which was like, how should I put it? Um, eventful. For one, Sylvia started when she actually shouldn't have, and she wouldn't stop until a few of the girls held her mouth shut (pity I haven't got a pic of it). Our team consisted of Caris, Amanda, Weixin, Darryl, Mook, ZL n me. The official debators were actually the last two people in that list (ie. zl n me) but then mook decided that he wanted to debate, so in the end I had to hiss "shut up" at him a few times (yes, I know that's mean, but he'd promised to let me, lol, I'm so selfish sometimes). Then I got pretty fed up cuz some people interrupted when our team was debating even though they were supposed to have shut up, and zl talked too damn slowly...
May 24th: miss yap's last LA lesson, which we used for a farewell (potluck) party for her which, according to her, increased the size of Sugarcandy Mountain threefold, and was kinda unhealthy as compared to 2k's(it was healthy living week...)), and so she borrowed one of mrs tan's periods to make up for it...25th May: last day of school, I polish my boots till 11pm the nght before and lug them all the way to school, only to find out I didn't need them. Then we got the walkathon cards, which we are supposed to use for collecting donations, for the std 1s'(ie.us) uniforms, and so on. Oh crap...
Oh yes, and we were also doing spring cleaning that day, which involved me ferrying buckets of water back and forth about 5 times(once with the help of a certain kind soul), resulting in me getting seriously exhausted (yes, the distance was short, but I lugged a few buckets of water, not one, a few being alot when it comes to these kinds of things) and also getting my knees kinda black/dusty/chalky from wiping/scrubbing the floor (once again with the help of the same kind soul)because it was severly dusty/chalky with the chalky stuff on all the classroom floors that get your clothes white when you sit on it and also the recently added whitish plaster-powder from the archeological kit, half of it caused by Mook's consistent/stubborn grinding of chipped off plaster pieces into plaster-powder both of which refuse to come off the floor unless you scrub it (with water).
That day we also had this mini b'day celebration for all those born in sem. 1, cakes (all 3 of them) paid for by good ol' (well not really old)mrs Tan. Thanks a million mrs Tan!
26th May: my very sucky birthday (actually it's the same as Linette's, happy belated b'day Linette!!!)
Currently, life in dhs is kinda crazy,with all the different ppl. Ppl like zinc, who's always there to help me n lend me stuff, there's teri, nicole n shu jun, the 3 ppl sitting round me who are forever spicing up the day with their wierd ways, there's zl, who's forever doing weird n disgusting stuff, but also with his musn't-leave-squadmates-behind thing(lol), there's mook (n clar from 1l too) with the crazy manga, all of these ppl n all the others in 1k never fail to brighten up my day (with the exception of ppl like en zhi the irritator at times i guess). Then there are all my SJAB squadmates n seniors too!
THANKS SO MUCH PPL, U TOTALLY ROCK MY WORLD!!!
