some times i dun understand.maybe it is because i am easily influenced bt then im still stuck in this classical-electric dilemma.

some of my friends have given to go ahead-they encourage me and say its my choice,they think it is cool and their support is very heartwarming so thanks jem ryan and boonbin.=) dudes of 0804~and yah i tink i will try my best to make it to the chalet and bring alcohol,preferably the dessert wine i tasted at eryns hse,it was soooo nice=P

but those friends that are supposedly closer to me have nothing but discouraging words,like what they dont think i LOOK like i can play electric guitar,like what the hell.seriously i know everyone judges by first impressions but not to that extent la.if a persons capability is determined by their looks then seriously this world would be a screwed up place.

open some of my grade 3 classical books to fool around and to my surprise realized i can still play-_- haha looks like all those years of sian practice have paid off somewhat,plus the 2 year hiatus from playing ruan due to the shittiness of the guitar ensem in my school.


got a feeling of deja vu in the syc mass hysterical conversation once.
one side talking to the juniors about their A level worries,scandals with no ending and vicious cycle,future jc life etc.a journey of deja vu that i have survived-_- and graduated hopefully with decent grades that we will see in march=Pso guys, take heart cos no matter how hard the journey,the end is always in sight!


another my memories of that afternoon( 26 dec had a gathering with a few friends in a belated bday celebration) chatting with jlau about his NS confinement times,about swatting his mosquitoes in tekong and the indian mama boy (LOL) and the dude who cried because he had a misunderstanding with his girlfriend and how enthusiastically his company repeated'FUCK OFF!" at the officer.HAHAH.i though he would be more mature after NS but then NOOO he turned out even worse and more bullying!probably cos his batch are sissies cos they failed napfa? i dunno la! haha.


and kaijie and jlau gave me a present which was a dead rubber chicken which makes a horrible sound every time you squish it :P when we were sitting in starbucks and a couple was making out in a table behind us( the table is like for 6 persons sofa mind you and 4 of us were like squashed in a seat for 2 people??) so i took it out and squished it making a really loud SQUUUUAAAWWWWKKKKK sound.it sounds really horrible i wish i could let you guys hear it HAHH.i wasnt looking but i probably destroyed their romantic moment cos they left soon after.jlau and kaijie were trying their very best not to laugh but epicly failing cos they are such loudmouth bitches and steffi was pretending not to be part of us.but then it was super funny la! i provide romantic background music and entertainment ahh.


and to all you in love couples out there please do not hog seats from humble paying starbucks customers and dont put your feet up on the table or else you if i am in the vicinity you will hear some undesirable background effects by yours truly.thankyouxD


taking out my 2 wisdom teeth tmr x_x hope i dun bleed too much the last time i bled for days and couldnt eat solid food for a month but my wisdom is really annoying me now and im scared it would cause my other teeth to decay because of the weird angle it grows in.come on why do wisdom teeth have to grow at all,stupid mother nature should have eliminated it by natural selection...why do we even need so many teeth in the first place D: it only makes the world better for dentists cos it ensures then a job...

1.get a job!i tink should be sales or admin since it is the most common.jus signed up for this mary chia roadshow thing,i tink it would be a laugh if i actually got the job-.- i would have liked f n b but the pay is quite low...3-5...as compared to the former where you could earn double easily.





2.since i purposely missed the psc scholarship app( not that keen on a govt scholarship) i think ill go for the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore.. more on the international relations side rather than the engineering side though ^^ doubt i will get it,i am a less than stellar student,espc with my substandard eoy results..





3.isnt this picture goooorrrrrgeeeeoooouuuuusss *_*.....the price is not so gorgeous though,but i tink pretty reasonable la,in a relative sense...im thinking of picking up guitar again,acoustic or electric nevermind.i think it means i have to start from scratch since the foundation is different from every type.like the picking patterns...classical uses fingers but acoustic uses a pick and when i switch to the latter i realize i am an epic fail.so im asking around the more pro people,thanks to those who have offered to help!and the work in 1. is partly to pay for my lessons haha cos my mum is alrd nagging at how much money i was wasting at buying guitars.like sheesh...i can always use my own money,dun need to complain...i dun noe why tuition is not waste money while picking up a new skill is....considering that the former is utterly useless...



and yeah taught myself how to change my guitar strings finally..after pretending to know for years.LOL.but then strings break in the end and you have to change them and why is it always the fourth string i have to buy a whole new set of strings again jus to change that stupid string and it looks weird cos the other strings are darker coloured.or maybe i should jus change all but too lazy neways and i heard that changing all the strings at one go is too "stressful" for the guitar..



4.exercise a bit la-.- dance,boxing,krav maga whatever,i cant sit with my bum in front of the computer all day!and running gets a bit boring after a while.i intend to sign up for the safari zoo run again this year though( perhaps dragging a couple of unfortunate friends),at least they have a nicer looking top this time..still ugly though,like a gaudy redD:i rmb i went last year couldnt see much animals in the night safari part-.- but the scenery got interesting near the end and i actually went another half round to take photos ^^





5.dread A levels.well this is definitely more scary than O levels.i remember being much more confident for O levels and would be disappointed if i had gotten more than 6pts.but then A levels i tink i feel alot more heck care.maybe i have realized there are more important things in life than results.SYC <3<3* coughcough*





on a digression note,this years 09 alumni seem alot more on.the 08 batch jus about died except for a few of us.i hope it will last ,really.cos during the second year where the busy period of A lvls comes along..alot of other commitments are there to distract you..will you still keep SYC in your heart? only time can tell,but i have high hopes for this batch as i like them a lot!=P





6.christmas shopping and cards and stuff...well almost complete since i buy in bulk.since theyre the same type of present i duno whether my friends will like it.but aiyaahh it is jus a small gift on my part=P

im still marvelling at how SYC can change people in a week.hmm.one of the best decisions in my life to come back to be an ace!






EYE-POWER ACES @ OBS
still suffering from a bad case of syc hangover!-.- and my camera kind of went kuku i really feel like getting a new one and throwing this one away to the karang guni.i thought it was of good quality but now i guess not.haiz.




met up with my indian participants! screwed up a little bit when i didnt call sufficient taxi...i tot like 5 of us could squeeze into one lol.then the flight changed terminal...then suddenly delayed and suddenly landed? i totally can understand why my ace kelvin was so kan chiong the previous time we went to receive the thais.and got caught by john and lectured a bit at the airport.but then managed to be early to receive the indians anyway, i made all my participants jump up and down waving the sign tt says SYC INDIA at the risk of the indians thinking that we were mad.LOL. show the singapore spirit ma=)



the indian chaperone is really cool too she kept insisting tt we should go back and rest when she saw tt we were tired and i am not going to deny tt i was tempted to do so...sorry if i seemed like i was in a bad mood sometimes i am just really tired cos i am the type tt needs regular hours of sleep..and the night before syc i was too excited to sleep honestly=P



then had to bring the indians out twice tt day-.-..was super tired by then but pushed myself anyway,telling myself i had to be a good ace.memory is foggy at this point.but then i remember i chatted alot with the indians,try to get to know them...we introduced ourselves...oh yeah i forgot to introduce the india squad,me,lamony (sounds like such a sour person no?),shreyas( " oh they might not let me come back to SYC next year because i am too tall" and peter chao fan also! LOL.),abi(totally crapper RJC dude who really bonded wif the indians) and elaine( cute dancer hahah=P)


2nd day @ OBS





one of my roles during OBS a food server!:Di served fishballs.would you like to have one or two balls sir?no you cannot have three balls full,there might not be enough balls to go around.would you like to have half balls instead.oh my that may not be appropriate xD








john looks super stunned to see us.=Dactually it would have been a formal shot of john if there werent the other crazy aces jumping around beside him i had no idea what that pose i was making wasLOL. we took a photo with mama siew siew too.it was super funny because the aces made such a big deal abt it,tt it was more rare than taking photos with a celebrity.HAHA.



weirdly i feel more emotional about this 09 camp rather than the 08 one.i think it is because i gave it my all from the start..i was a bit more held back,quiet and reserved during the previous camp.well you could call this a life changing experience=)




and things to do during the holidays:















gathering with my dear friends from NYJC=)


do up and deliver all my christmas cards,including foreign participants! last years envelopes cost a bomb


Learn KRAV MAGA with sharon.boxing is fine also im waiting for her to call m


perhaps pick up guitar again? i dont know if i have the passion for it thoug


build up my fitness from 0 (barely exercised due to A levels prom and syc all in a shot)

Labels: syc

i had many options,i could go with my CCA to hong kong disneyland,go work and earn some money,go learn a sport or simply chat and hang out with my friends.

instead i chose to go back to be an ACE for the sunburst youth camp.where i felt love and loss
noel and zi xuan i am so proud of you for putting up an excellent performance.GO NYJC!

unfortunately the nyjc teachers so far fail to recognise the impact of the camp on the participants which i find rather regretful.

I have never been in a leadership position neither have i been a very extroverted to ra ra person in fact for the previous SYC i rather faded into the background and this is something that i have come to regret.i realize that a lot of responsibility is put on the aces...responsibility i am not sure i am ready for.luckily the people there were rather understanding...despite certain problems and the lack of sleep making me half functional.im not using lack of sleep as an excuse though i am sure that many other people pushed themselves further than i did during this camp and i respect them for that.

over this week.i think i have learnt to become more patient,more selfless and less reserved..after all you have to show all the love you can to people that are going to be here only for a week.if you still dun want to entertain them for that week only for reasons such as you are tired,such as what ive heard and what ive experienced...then haiz...i really dont know what to say..im just a little disappointed that you didnt cherish this camp as much as i did.i may complain alot and all..but then it is just me.

the view of an ace is a totally different perspective.you are not as close to the participants and seeing them undergo the journey,emotional and physical,that you went through a long time ago is kind of surreal and nostalgic.and being given the responsibility...i have made many mistakes throughout the camp due to my ineptitude...but then i have good aces to help me along and i really appreciate them for that so i love you guys a lot.

tired from a mass hugathon and crying at the airport....shall update more when i feel like it.and yeah..i love all of you from syc.honestly it is such a raw,overwhelming and painful emotion.and i really cant get enough of it,i want to ride this emotional rollercoaster over and over again because this is something i treasure this is part of me and this is one of the only avenues that i have been taught to be understanding,patient and to let down the guard i always put up in front of people i dont know...being in front of friends that are so real they can only be who they are,being infected by the vibrancy and enthusiasm of youth that reminds you to cherish those that stay true by your side,to eradicate whatever narrow mindedness you have,to broaden your horizons to accomodate more friends..creating precious memories that you would treasure in time to come.

just a quick update before i start my preparation for SYC camp which is like.tommorow really early in the morning..disrupting my nocturnal routine.pictures are on facebook you can go and check them out.

so yeah i went as Lady Gaga..i was quite happy that people actually recognised me as who i was because i didnt think my outfit was all that gaga! i suspect it must have been the crazy sunglasses.one of the highlights of the night was when some random guy approached me and asked to take a photo with lady gaga,was a positively LOL moment.

the food was not bad surprisingly even though i dont like sharks fin -_- but then otherwise ok lor.mdm ainon was a fantabulously bitchy host.and my table (2) kept winning prizes for dunno what.we won abt 2 lucky draw prizes? ( kai jie and sze chien,they still havent told me what the prized were).then me and jlau went on stage to dress up xuan yi in toilet roll and various other rubbish ( i tink sze chien filmed a video of the process,HAHAHA).even though we didnt win the competition( the guy from the physics side won,duh) we still got prize la,some jelly powder thing which was like HUH????? hahah.

the MTV awards theme consisted of us having door gifts of cards with celebrities faces...there were also posters of celebrities stuck on the wall which we could bring home.jem and jonathan chionged to help me rip down a poster of Gaga until they realized that i had already run across the room to take down another poster of her! hahahah then i had to lug 2 posters home.thanks guys anyway!

i think everyone looked gorgeous that day ( I STILL THINK I LOOK LIKE A TRANSVESTITE WITH MAKEUP AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO SMILE FOR PHOTOS8)).sharons makeup was total mega epic bondage goth O.O zhiwen's hair was really pretty and glittery! melanie was stunning and sassy,jlau and kaijie were totally raving over her,renyi totally couldnt recognize her with that crazy hair and makeup.jlaus outfit was totally funky also haha purple and green! kaijie look v shuai also with his nice hair and outfit.jeremy look like gangster lol but look quite good anyway,he demanded to try on my sunglasses after bursting out laughing when he saw them.weijians outfit was so cool too,like a total classic suit except that the bottom was shorts instead of long pants.and some of the girls look totally gorgeous too,espc some of the ones dressed in red.



took photos with as many people as i could then when prom was over went to orchard to walk walk with jlau kajie zhiwen and chong chao(did i spell it correctly?).didnt go for post prom as no one i knew was going went LOL...i made alot of ridiculous poses with the stuff on the streets i have a feeling that i am going to regret them haha.

overall,prom was a tad pricey but extremely fun!
