Oh yes, and in other events so far..


Interaction! Hmm, didn't go as badly as I expected, although ice breakers are still immensely dull. =( Being not very interested in ice breakers meant that I didn't pay attention when they were being carried out. Thus the only reasonably interesting game I knew of was whacko. And with that one single game, after combining 3 groups..We managed to entertain them, or rather keep them occupied until the appropriate time. I think that if we cut down the time spent on ice breakers, factoring in the long waits in between stuff, I think we might have finished much earlier than we did. =) But oh well, growing up has made me accept inefficiency as part and parcel of life. Still doesn't mean I have to like it though.


Anyway the food was quite good, but there was so much of it! Lots of left overs.. =( Hai, such a waste. The games were..interesting? A bit senseless sometimes, especially when neither team wins = give points based on cheering. =P And water bombs was free for all as usual. We do love our seniors so. =) Must spread the joy and er good fortune? How does the po shui jie thing in Thailand go again?


So after drying off, a bit and getting into dry clothes, I went to watch Harry Potter (at last) with ger and hs. First of all, it was $9.50! =| -watches money fly away- And I'm already not getting enough income as it is. =( Anyway, I wished there were more details in the movie, but I guess it can't be helped. With enough imagination I think the book should be enough.. Fleur is pretty!! -gushes- So is Hermione!! The guys looked more or less weird, but the Weasley twins were funny, despite their hair. Dumbledore is less nice and imagining Hagrid with Madame Maxine(sp.?) is just..wrong!


I'm actually at baoguan now, typing this in notepad. The morning press hasn't run yet, it's not even 12! But anyway I just finished typing an article about the rise in school fees for independent + ip schools. From about 20+ a month to 200+? =( I think I'm a person who doesn't quite like change. IP and all. Ptsh. I miss the world last time. When society was still relatively slow moving and all. Now everything that is an improvement=moving into IT. Further improvements entail improvement of IT facilities.


Syllabus changes, irritating kiddies, naggy adults.. Bleh, things that irritate me to no end. And I think I already bear resentment to the juniors that will be coming in next year. Which is bad. Cos some of them are really nice, I think. But I think I'll just feel like slapping the other half. Oh well. =X


Monday, November 28, 2005


Mm, it's been how long since my last post? Anyway, Geppers have been receiving a lot of flak for being 1)conceited gits, 2)sad muggers, 3)not liking being in the programme, 4)being forced into the programme and 5)being unable to cope with the stresses of the programme.



First, unlike what the article states, I actually enjoyed being in the gifted programme. I would not under any circumstance have exchanged those 7 school years for any other. Besides the small class size and rather close knit community that we were in, it was immense fun doing activities out of class. Science projects and even IRS (sometimes) was great fun to do! Even if not the actual project, the process was memorable in it's own way. It's always in the process of doing and not the actual product that's most impactful. There are lesser of us in each school as compared to the mainstream population, which probably explains why after a few years within the same crowd we know each other better.


Also, not all of us are sad muggers. There are happy muggers too. Of course there are also non muggers, slackers and the like. But seriously, which child who is forced to study, is happy? Maybe not even studying, who can be happy when we're forced to do things we don't want to do?


Like every other group, we have our black sheep as well. Conceited gits exist everywhere, not only in GEP. Perhaps it's the perception of us, as the programme encourages us to be vocal and prod boundaries of sorts. I guess the odd people always tend to stick out more. Non conformists and such. And maybe the attitude we sometimes portray or have can be quite condescending, but distinguishing a group based on the negative impressions a few of them give you is nothing but biased opinion. Being fiercely defensive about something you like or believe in is not wrong, but putting it in a tactful manner will definitely help get the point across more clearly. Not only that, it would most probably go down better with the receiving party as well.


About being forced into the programme, I'm sure that as much as being in GEP sounds great to people, with all the assumed prestige and whatnot, parents still have the interest of their child at heart. If the child doesn't like it in the programme or doesn't want to enter, the parent would not force their child to undertake something they cannot handle. Most people, I think, enter the programme of their own accord. They accept that the schedule will be hectic, homework load will be heavy and that there will be extra curriculum (a lot of it).


How people go about coping with such stress is personal, and each one has their own tolerance level. Some people cannot handle it and some people can't. And as teenagers/budding teenagers, we're entitled to the occasional emotional outburst and complaints (frequent or otherwise) about school life.


In any case, it is always unfair to judge anything or anyone hastily without first getting to know what it's about.


Anyway, I managed to get to interview more little kiddies! The semi finals for the pageant you see... And the really cute little girl, and the 4 year old boy who did a performance to tonghua with his friend.




Thursday, November 24, 2005


Is it just me or does anyone else find the Chinese version of Dragostea Din Tei annoying? Worse, it's getting into people's heads, and they're humming it unconciously. Like today, I went out and heard this little boy singing some parts of that -ugh- song. So gross. Anyway, sec 4 dizi dinner tomorrow, no one's really free for a proper outing, and we're always more interested in talking anyway. =) 16 more days of attachmen to go. Less than 3 weeks! (working days anyway) Busy busy busy! There was this show on central last night, that proved that people are more stupid after holidays, due to all the mindless activity we go through. Therefore I predict that my homework will probably not be complete, ie gp, chemistry and math tutorials = not done and start of the year tests = not good. Hasn't even passed into December yet though, but such pessimistic thinking isn't exactly going to get me anywhere.

You dislike your faults more when you see them in others.


Tuesday, November 22, 2005


Highlight of my week...


Yea! I interviewed all 4 of them.. So cute right? Of course most of the time it was more of their parents speaking, but still.. They were so adorable! Ok, so maybe when we have proper stuff to do, it isn't so bad. =) But the weather recently has been horrible! Wet, cold... Especially in the office with the air con, brr..! Feeling a under the weather now, thankfully I'm going to have an off day soon!


Saturday, November 19, 2005


Right, I am still not liking my job. 20 more days. In the meantime, does anyone have anything news worthy? Or anything that seems interesting, like nice online communities, forums.. Stuff like that? Even if it's just self entertainment. To find stuff to write, instead of writing announcements, or doing homework (resulting in a over 700 word AQ) or being braindead. I think working here, has turned me off the news. I'm quite annoyed and repulsed by news now, which is entirely weird and wrong! Not to mention that there's news on the television, radio, NEWSPAPERS! All over in fact. Internet too. -smashes skull in- Right. Work tomorrow. Whee. -hops a bit trying to knock into something- SooOooOoOoOo fun.


Friday, November 18, 2005


Hmm, holidays should be made of some days like these. Days where you don't really feel like doing much, stay indoors, read a bit, watch a bit of television, stare at the computer, nap, do useless things that are not the least bit good to your character development, academics or welfare in general. Okay, maybe it is good for your welfare, especially if you enjoy these kind of things? Back to work tomorrow. Working on weekends should be quite interesting, or maybe miserable, since you know everyone else out there is actually at home, resting. -stares-

Today is the day before the (going to) china people fly off, but I can't go and send them off tomorrow, so if any of you read this.. [Get me souveniers! (",)] Have a good trip! Stay away from chickens, eggs and anything that's related to birds in general I guess. But niaoing people is er..different I guess. Heh, take lots of photos too.. =) Should have interesting things happening on the trip to china I guess, -cough- sans bimbotism and all. Plenty of fresh fruits, apples, vit C and you shouldn't fall sick I guess. Not from virus nor boredom, who knows what sort of weird bugs there might be though. Insecticide! Okay nvm, I'm speaking in riddles? And round and round in circles, none of it really makes proper sense though. Rather gossipy however.. Heh, will miss (most of) you people!!! Have fun!

Oh yar, some people finish exams today too right? Heh, can go out and play le.. =) Hmm, o levels seemed quite long ago, and this year passed too fast for my liking. Oh well, next year will probably be too fast as well, then I'm going to have to start thinking properly what I want to do with my life. I know that when I do get a job, at the very least I want to like what I'm doing. It's no use if I'm going to be entirely miserable every time I go to work, dreading the monotonous routine of going there and not liking what I do. I'd rather like to anticipate my day, actually go there and be in a good mood and all. I'd like to interact with people rather than documents, although I know documentation(?) is inevitable in every job, but I'd much rather spend my day dealing with people (preferably nice of course) than staring at papers and the computer and typing. This of course is completely different from what I'm doing now. Although both would eventually result in my eyesight deteriorating, my posture getting worse (because I don't sit properly and upright when I type) and the electricity bill increasing. But I'd probably like doing this better than being compelled to do something similar out of job obligations.

Hmm, the entire previous paragraph is scattered with Is. Feel kind of selfish at the moment. =X


Thursday, November 17, 2005


Hmm, I guess you could say I indulged today. Spent er future money? ie My salary which has not come in.. Celebrated my dad's birthday at a nice Jap restaurant at King's Arcade.. Ala carte buffet, nice food, really good service. =) After that I went to watch the exorcism of emily rose, which is quite a nice show. Not horror, but I jumped at a few parts, as is typical for me I guess. The cinematics are not bad, and the parts where emily seems to be posessed are tense and stressful.. Don't like the parts where it keeps zooming onto her face either, disturbing really. And after emily, I (finally) bought 知足! And got jaychou 十一月的萧邦 too! =) Lotsa nice cds and stuff to listen to, and books! Anyway, I guess if I would start wondering about the spirit realm and all this stuff if I was religious, but since I'm not, stuff I learned from watching the movie include, don't stay up till 3 am. It's supposedly the witching hour or something. Being a lawyer is really a test of your faith, character and how firmly you draw the line between what's personal and what's professional. Especially if the person you helped acquit goes on a killing rampage some other day. Weighs a lot on your conscience and all. I think it would be pretty hard for anyone to defend someone or something they don't believe in.



Just for interest's sake, you can tell that the guys/gals/people at google have a really amusing sense of humour when you type the word "failure" in the search box and click "I'm Feeling Lucky". =)


Wednesday, November 16, 2005


Alrighty then. 3 days of work done. If this is a plot to get me to appreciate school life more, it's working. If I develop an aversion to newspapers after this... Well, it's probably because I've been reading more newspapers here the past 3 days than I probably have the entire of last week put together! Bah, and I work weekends...of sorts. I'm free this thursday and friday and next week's thursday and saturday though, then the two week cycle sort of repeats itself. So yes, prior arrangements must be made before hand if I'm to go out.. Don't think I can go send the taiwan/china people off either.. Missed the OCIP thailand people today already.

I think I'm quite horrid, as in I can't put my books down when I start to read. I've been reading lots of Terry Prachett, 卫斯理 and er Thomas Harris's Red Dragon (the er Hannibal author). And of course I've been reading newspapers, lots of it, and recently even my GP issues and ideas. Of course I'm supposed to actually write stuff after I read GP, but I guess I could procrastinate a bit. Not as if the rest of my holiday plans are going smoothly anyway. So much for attempts at revision and consistent homework doing so there aren't any last minute things.

Oh yes, 05A12 put up a really cute charity performance last night.. Really talented bunch I must say, 1 hour plus concert by one class alone? Quite pro, and the drama centre wasn't that empty either.. =)

I'm starting to miss school, or rather the people in school.. So sad facing adult company day after day. Okay, so I have a few friends around me, but when they disappear for breaks, which coincidentally is today, it's quite miserable? I spent my lunch hour sleeping on the table, which I presume would reflect rather badly, but I was tired and didn't feel like getting out.

And I've recently purchased a nail buffer! Or rather it's a nail block that lets you file, smoothen and make your nails shiny and stuff. I think this fascination with nail buffing started in sec 4 when joyce or someone started buffing their nails in class. Shiny objects and stuff are attractive.. Like the disinfectant soap that didn't need water.. During the sars period especially, yingxiang would take out her bottle of disinfectant or steriliser or sth, then start sharing it around the group.. =) Interesting times we had then. Much fun. (= This is quite horrid, I'm still thinking about secondary school, when in less than 2 months, I'm suddenly supposed to go from j1 to j2. Ew. 我不想长大...

你是我心中的惊叹

歌手:萧亚轩

爱原来是这么个模样
近在眼前却不一定能够一眼看穿
过往四处探访却总是徒劳而返
只一秒你就轻易的攻入我心上

该怎么形容我此刻的感想
如果你了解我过往的渴望
当过尽了千帆你还在身旁
仿佛是一道曙光
你怎么知道我还等待情感
当所有人以为我喜欢孤单
是你敲我的门再把我点亮
你是我心中一句惊叹

我原来比希望更希望
在生命中有个同伴把心事都交换
际遇一面海洋孤单总随我飘荡
是不是你就是我的唯一的希望

Nice song! It's been repeating on my player for quite a while now. Suddenly had the tune in my head. =) Suddenly feel like going kbox too. Hang out and stuff, before everyone flies away!!

Anyway, first day of work today! Typed announcements.. Walked around, felt rather intimidated by the place. Entertainment went to interview celebrities, whilst we were reading newspapers.. The air conditioning works too well? It's cold and dry. Good for preservation. A bit of pressure to actually write something news worthy without wrong words or wrong expressions. Typing on stiff keyboards is bad for the fingers and air con is generally bad for my nose. Very bad. Entertainment goes off earlier, sports goes off earlier... Leaving us! The er newsdesk people to type announcements. Tomorrow one goes off to the mortuary/morgue and the other to interview people about redesigning furniture. And me? Type announcements or stuff I guess. Mm. Might have to work weekends, since off days are not normal weekends like normal 5 day work week people. News doesn't wait for anyone you know.

Another day tomorrow, another 4 weeks minus 1 day to go.


Friday, November 11, 2005


Right, was reading natgeog just now, about how people who live till they're very old get to live till that age. Apparently besides good eating and living habits, knowing what you're living for helps quite a bit. As in having a purpose in life, some sort of reason that stops you from going, "Hey, I'm not required for anything at all!" and dropping dead on the spot. Of course if people did that they'd get fined for littering and all, bad for the city's image you know. But interesting point to ponder isn't it? The question of your purpose in life, which if you don't choose to believe in any religion, doesn't seem to quite have an answer. You're just one person in a population of billions around the world, not including that this very same population is helping to destroy the earth through overconsumption, deforestation, global warming etc. <-Ecology! One less of you and the world would be better off wouldn't it? The physical world anyway. Less demand for food, less supply required, (correct right? pardon the inaccurate economics theories I might spout throughout this post, non economics student la) so less stress on the land to grow food, less intrusion into natural habitat of animals and less natural stuff getting killed.

But on the other hand, if you die, no matter what sort of person you were when you were alive, you'd be missed by some people. They'd start lamenting their loss of you, crying, sobbing uncontrollably (contributing further to CO2 gases in the air) but the point is that it would then mean you did something good/bad/impactful isn't it? Such that people actually bother to feel sad. Then again you wouldn't actually know what sort of impact you left on that person. 自己以为是应该的,对别人而言可能蕴含更深的一层意义. Who knows if because of you, someone decided to not do something bad, 反而决定发奋图强去读书... Would be quite interesting to hear your own eulogy wouldn't it? Except maybe chinese traditions don't really have them. But I wonder what my eulogy would say. Mostly good stuff I bet, no one wants to insult the poor dead person, not that he or she could do anything about it. I think.

Hmm. This is quite sad, the holidays have started, and I feel bored! Mostly my own fault I guess. This sluggishness and unwillingness to get up/out/in to do stuff. The weather which alternates between hot, humid, uncomfortable and wet, very wet, still uncomfortable (unless you're indoors and about to sleep). Which reminds me that I keep getting caught in the rain! But never mind, learnt my lesson after Halloween to carry an umbrella around (more to prevent nagging and scoldings than the rain).

Okay, off to find something to do. Mm, hai.


Wednesday, November 09, 2005


Yay! PW is over! And so is the audition.. Haha, messed it up le, don't think I'll get in so that's that. But anyway, the guy's house is damn nice la!!! And the both of them are so nice!!! Haha, his wife reminds me of miss chek.. =) Nice people in a nice house.. Anyway the dizi player for the concert will be very stressed. Have solo! And it's next to him? In some weird costume... Sure will kenna stage fright la!! I thought is sit in an orchestra pit somewhere.. -melts into puddle of nervous goo- Guess sometimes in life you can't have your cake and eat it.. But still feeling quite contented now. =) Feel like eating sushi! Cos there's some show about sushi on the television now.. And I want to watch the exorcism of emily rose, and goblet of fire and other stuff. So many wants, none of them are really needs though, there will be vcds afterall. Last minute work is never good, puts you in desperate spots and beggers can't be choosers so you end up with sad little below average stuff from the miniscule pool of choices you have. Travel is draining. Walking is fun, quite. Stoning is mandatory. Confidence is a choice. And pw is over! -yawns- I seem to get more and more incoherent with each post. -clucks tongue disapprovingly- Not good, not good at all..

Yay! I got my SPH attachment.. I guess I wasn't really expecting to get it, and with the long period of commitment required, I was having second thoughts.. But now that I got it, I guess it's quite ok.. =) It will be an experience after all, even though I don't really want to be a reporter? And I might get the opportunity to perform on stage with 陶吉吉! Should be quite an interesting holiday this time. Just wish I had more time though.. Weird right? Complaining about not having enough time when the holidays haven't even really started yet.. But there just seems to be a lot to do and stuff, besides work.. Chalets to go for, friends to meet up with, places to go.. -contented sigh- But the class outing today was quite nice and heart warming I guess? Dunno la.. Small groups are nicer for interaction.. I want to fly a kite too! Just that I didn't feel like going out today.. -ramble ramble- 1 am le..

Yesterday was an interesting day to prove theories.. First, my alltime favourite law... Murphy's! First when I stepped out of the house late, I saw the bus I would be taking leave the bus stop. Then when I finally got onto the next bus, it started raining.. Not only that, when I got off, I realised that my jeans were happily absorbing water.. (So who said jeans weren't water absorbant?) In fact it just kept taking in water till it was wet at knee level. =( So after trudging in the rain (with a rather sad and ineffective umbrella) to KAP to order the cake for gratitude/farewell/etc party, the shop wasn't open! Oh well, it supposedly only opened at 1030 whilst I was aiming for 9? But never mind, at least I met someone there whom I knew who managed to help me order anyway, thanks yuqing! Then tried to rush to toa payoh and dry my jeans on the way. At least I wasn't that late, and know I know the entire route that my bus takes. =) Toa Payoh..is interesting, especially since I don't hun there often.. X) November already! 2 more months and the year is ending.. =( This year went by too fast.. Don't even know how I spent half my time (actually I spent more than half of it in school). But it still feels quick? Maybe it means I've had fun. Heh, hopefully, because next year certainly isn't going to be that way..
