OMG today rawked the house man!!! Super long post on fun-o-rama coming right up. First of all, i had to wake up early in the morning and reach school by 7am..but its considered nth coz the girls had to go to other girls' houses to help bake the crepes and get ready the italian sodas. Respect the girls..really capable of doing stuff that guys are completely hopeless in..haha. Had to carry 7-up bottles and pails of water and prizes which are SUPER heavy by the way. After carrying those stuff, i was like totally soaked in sweat and got kinda injured and tired..but i did all these for the class and AC.
Krusty Krepes and Frag & Brag were the stalls names. Awesome huh. Banners were hung up..decorations displayed...food items and games were set up. All preparations were complete and i had an easy shift to do in the morning coz very few ppl would visit the games stall in the morning.
After my shift..i met loads of friends !!!! The east siders rawk. I saw long lost 4A friends like chia wei, kevin and benjamin. Anthony cancelled his thailand trip and he visited AC today !!! Super happy to see him. Brian and Joel joined us to explore AC as a group. Saw Ichun, Jessica and Gita too. Met nithya and her friend. Mathan was busy manning his stall so he couldnt join us..we went around to buy food and drinks and played some games..showed the guys the AC sports complex and my house. Haha they were in awe when they saw supergym...even though the new SA village is up and ready..the gym is not as fantastic as our supergym..hahaha. They loved AC gym and swimming pool. After exploring..we decided to go for the wayang haunted house. Waited quite long buy it was quite worth it..there were hands touching my feet..wanted to shout molest...then had loads of shocks too..scary makeup on the arts girls..some of them wore cheongsams and looked really pretty. Haha had fun in the haunted house..even though tix were 10bucks !!!
Saw Kelvyna chan kena dunked !!! omg AC is crazy...500 bucks have to be raised before trying to dunk CCA captains and councillors. 1000 bucks have to be raised before trying to dunk teachers. And 2000 bucks have to be raised to dunk the principal..huge profits..can see ppl throwing away stacks of coupons..crazy rich ppl...haha but it was totally hilarious seeing the principal kena dunked..she was waving her arms before unexpectedly she fell into the water..and she was splashing water at the audience...haha
My second shift of the day was no easy feat. Lighting candles..giving prizes...collecting money..preventing the wind from extinguishing the candles..for 3 hours!!! Omg it was crazy and i was sweating like nobody's business...but it was an awesome experience. My classmates and i supported each other so th exp wasnt so painful. It rained and everyone freaked out! Prizes got wet and the wind was strong. But we perservered and strived on..and we managed to prevent the stall from collapsing or anything worse than that..
After my second shift..hung out with Brian, Zamir, Kenneth, Dehong and Zijian. Bought AC products with zamir. Brian and the rest bought market goods coz apparently it was cheaper than outside..haha how cheapskate...we sat down and chatted a bit...visited mathan's stall and bought some stuff..hopefully it wasnt too sian for them coz of the rain..haha but i definitely had fun and bought loads of souvenirs. AC teddy, mug, umbrella, badges, water bottle, keychain, shirt and 2 jackets !!! Haha.
At the end of the day..everyone was bushed...clearing up was a drag...and there were loads of disputes among ourselves before we left the classroom..hopefully everything can be cleared by monday...but honestly speaking..thx everyone for coming to AC and thx to ACSians for putting in so much effort to ensure that fun-o-rama is a success. Thx a lot guys! Appreciate all ur hard work.
My arms and legs freaking ache and i am super tired. Need to recuperate and hope i dun get sick...golf lessons tmr is gonna be hellish...niteZ.

Ok its been a long time since i have last blogged..but before i touch on the details on valentines day..let me start blogging about monday first..the day before valentines.
[Monday]
Normal day. But i felt vibrant and full of motivation..the rush of energy running through my veins..all ready to go through the torments of the day. Music is the source of life..my soul booster..my savior. Not only was i feeling great..i had loads of interaction time with her.. No big deal to others but super big deal for me.. for obvious reasons. Sat next to her which is rather rare...and had group study with her after school in the library. Totally awesome.. the experience of teaching her stuff and talking about anything under the world with her was totally awesome..hopefully we can do this every monday yeah. In other words, monday was a fantastic day for me..and the start of a wonderful friendship.
[Tuesday]
Valentines day. A.k.a vesak day. Happy vesak day everyone. I have been wishing ppl that coz i was reminded of what zamir said last year in ukraine...(what is vday? vesak day?) Hahaha totally hilarious. Really miss last year's valentines in meridian. I recounted the memories etched in my mind..lucien giving priya ba gua..giving chocolates to friends..receiving gifts from friends..gay action with scott, xuanyong and weiqiag...nallu giving avni and priya chicks...dinner at whitesands..really awesome. Valentines day in AC is so different. It is such a big hoo ha in AC. It was an eventful day...girls receiving flowers and balloons and chocs and cards etc..so u can see loads of girls carrying bags of gifts. And some of them were acting so bimbo..actually they didnt need to act. Received quite a number of gifts myself if i dare say..but i only gave a rose to tovya and victoria..my 2 closest friends in my class...and of coz gay action with mathan eric and xueming. Talked to weiqiang during econs about MJC days.. love songs and dedications were broadcasted...performances by teachers..and open confessions were seen in the canteen..haha full of laughter and my GP teacher debated with us about valentines day..how it is a waste of money and it lacks meaning in the modern world..haha.
[Wednesday]
Tovya gave me belated valentines gifts today. Haha she forgot to bring hers on the actual day.. Lessons were good. Chess was great..was on a winning spree..haha. Bridge was cool too considering that i havent played it for like how long...and got to catch up with F maths friends.
[Thursday]
Fun-o-rama preparations were superrrrrrrrrrrr tiring. Bet everyone was bushed after today...and tmr is gonna be hell too... Helped the class test the games stall...paint the stuff needed for the games stall..and helped cleaned up the classroom..so at least i can say i helped out in preparations and i wont have a guilty conscience. But i noticed that a lot of ppl in classes are flaring up and having big fights due to disputes during preparations..its hard to collaberate and compromise with one another as everyone has different opinions and stands..ah well..must learn to be disciplined and mature adults and try to talk things out in a calm manner.
Today i realised i suck in wrapping stuff. Tovya is an expert. Haha i was trying to wrap stuff and in the end i didnt really do anything and i had to leave all the wrapping to her...so pathetic rite..anyway girls are good in wrapping.
Water guns spraying water at candles. Nice game. Everyone had fun today and we had very few lessons. Tmr is a total slack day..no lessons..but loads of preparations need to be done.
Realised there is no badminton today..so ran 8 rounds around the track with xueming and eric. We played table tennis too..super fun.
Fun-o-rama is gonna be an awesome day. Even though it requires loads of hard work and effort..its all for the school. Tmr is the judgment day..whether i need to absorb or i can simply return coupons. Hopefully is the latter. NiteZ.

The main purpose of the AC fun-o-rama is not for ppl to have fun, but its sole purpose is to raise funds for its arts centre. I am assigned to sell 20 coupons otherwise i face the possible threat of having to absorb the remaining coupons i cant sell. How retarded is that..rich schools are well known for sucking money out of students but i didnt expect ACJC, which is a government institution to being doing the exact same thing.
More importantly, i am bugging all my friends to buy tickets out of desperation. I have to even bother them by asking them to do me favours by spreading the word around and finding out who are interested... how pathetic am i...?? The rest of my classmates have already done their share and are even selling more than the norm. What do u expect from rich kids who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths and plus all their connections with high ranking and affluent ppl...plus they have connections from churches. I have none of the above mentioned. East siders dun wanna spend money unnecessarily..and they are wise. I feel that AC funfair is a totally waste of time. It isnt that fantastic..i have been to better funfairs.
Furthermore, i need to help out in the preparations on top of being stressed out about coupon selling. Other ppl are stressed about the upcoming Os results or the nearing of As..but i am being stressed for the wrong reasons..i am being stressed coz of stupid coupon sales... sure i am lamenting about this problem..but if u put yourself in my shoes..would u wanna waste 200 bucks on coupons for a funfair?? Preparations are such a hassle too.. food and games stalls have to be set up at the cheapest possible costs...we even have to paint banners and all that..sigh..totally sucks.
Look on the bright side. You will be meeting ppl on that eventful day. Friends that u have been dying to meet. Long lost friends from TK. So long as i dun die from heatstroke on that day..i should be having fun i guess.
AC cross country took place at macritchie reservoir yesterday. Nth much.i saw jeevan who couldnt remember my name..haha and i saw alvin. Cross country was cool coz i was slacking around..i was part of the logistics team coz i didnt need to run. Thx flat feet. Free milo was available! And i sang the sch anthem facing the opposite direction at the end of the day..lol.
Bleaurgh. Life just gets better and better. Bring on the stress man..

"Penny & Me"
Cigars in the summertime under the sky by the light
I can feel you read my mind
I can see it in your eyes under the moon as it plays like music every line
There's a rug with bleeding dye under the fan in the room
Where the passions burning high by the chair with the leopard skin under the light
It's always Penny and me tonight
On the plane step up with both my feet
Riding in seat number 3 on a flight to NYC
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat
Catch the view and another good book to read
Sitting at home over the friendly skies
Missing her eyes
It's always Penny and me tonight
Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes, pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Staring at a million city lights
But it's still Penny and I all alone beneath the sky
Feel the wind brushing slowly by
If I could soar I'd try to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
But no matter where I am instead
Singing along to feeling alright
Or making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight
Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes, pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Penny likes to get away and drown her pain in lemonade
Penny dreams of rainy days and nights up late by the fireplace
And aimless conversations about the better days
Singing along to feeling alright, yeah
Or making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight
Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If one day i would die...i would wanna be the wind. Soaring through the skies, riding along the currents and gazing upon the grassy meadows...the twisting meanders...the majestic mountains...rocky cliffs and huge valleys...I would breeze through the air like a bird enjoying its freedom. In the night, astral wonders would be within my reach. As couples below would gaze upon the starry night, i would caress them with gentleness and fill them with delight and bliss, making their night an even more enjoyable one.
Being the wind means living in solitude again. All i could ever do is making others happy. Loneliness...sure its a horrible feeling but kinda got used to it.
Stop whining danver...

She cried...for the second time i saw her cry...the first time i saw her cry was when she was having a really really bad day when all the teachers chided her for something and she just couldnt handle it all at one go...for a while i felt kinda sad too...i felt so helpless...all i could do is crack some corny remark to try and cheer her up a bit...maybe some consolation...but thats it...well at least she laughed a bit so i am glad to see her smile again...hopefully she wont feel too bad tmr...
Don't cry k...u dont look pretty when u cry...
