On March 11, there were 6 of us going to watch that. Wow, that was the record. We had 6 people for a few times already but the last time was 1 year ago.
As usual, took bus to meet Joseph first. Texted him the license plate of the bus I was on. Then we were off to the bus stop to meet Zhen Hua. When we reached, I called Zhen Hua to ask him to come down to meet us. H said 5 minutes. Joseph, on the other hand, called Zhen Hua telling him he will not be coming.
5 minutes later, Zhen Hua did not come down yet. 10 minutes later, still not down yet. Desmond Lim reached. Joseph called Zhen Hua and said, I am not coming but Ming Xuan kept spamming my phone so I called to ask you to come down quickly.
Lol he came down after that. Went to Hougang Point to meet Timothy. Long time no see. Haha. We ate prata at Ah Mei cafe, the cafe which I knocked into the glass door. Lol.
Then we went back to look for Nizar. Then went to Nicholas house to watch. Timothy left halfway as he needs to go to his school, NYP. Luckily got direct bus. Did not finish the whole disc. Left the last match so will be watching next time. And, Triple H's face when his chamber pod lit up was epic. So funny.
We went to play billiard after that. As usual, the loser of the loser teams get eliminated. We played and played. Joseph left for kite flying with his cousin at 5 plus. Then the four of us played with scores. After Nizar left, we add 10 to his score and we played 9 ball pool. The score were as follows.
Desmond Lim: 42
Me: 26
Nizar (including the 10 points we added for him after he left): 24
Zhen Hua: 54
I left with Desmond Lim after that. We took different buses home.
My 1st blog post in the 2nd year of blog. Will be starting off with some pictures. These are some of the things that happened during the first few days of the holidays.
My parents have a habit of saving 1 dollar coins. So, I went with my mum to deposit the savings in the past 2 months. There was a total of 260 1 dollar coins in total.
This is the top view.
And side view.
Then a few days later, when my mum was cooking, the glass lid exploded into a thousand peices. She only had very little minor cuts. This is how the lid looks like after the explosion.
There are more pieces on the floor and somewhere else. Took some time to clear it.
March 23rd. A very special day. I know this is Jerald’s birthday. Happy birthday. Hope you have fun. However, there is also another special event. The date where I created my first official post. Hooray.
That is not the date I created my blog. I forgot that date. And the funny thing is… My first post was the “WHATS UP?” Rap. Then got someone called monkeymadness made a comment saying: pls la… You call this your blog??? That was lol.
Ok in this past year, I changed my blog link once, due to some reasons. Now in this post, I will introduce why I chose the 2 names I have chosen. Now on this day (not Edge theme), I will introduce my blog. From my first few posts of few sentences, now I have been blogging long posts. The 1st long post was the day of PHSS speech day. I was bored so I blogged on Wrestlemania and after that, I blogged on PPV every month. The first few posts were all on training and more training. Dont beleieve? Go and see. 500 push-ups, 100 sit-ups then run 10+ rounds. Now cant le. Must exercise.
Now, I will be telling you guys why I chose the links of my blog. 1) peopleovertherewhatsup.blogspot.com
Ahha. A lot of people still remember this line. I dunno why. Lol everytime they will say something like go ming xuan blog, peopleovertherewhatsup.blogspot.com. It is actually R-Truth’s entrance theme. Like him entrance. It ranks 2nd on my favorite list. He used to be my favorite wrestler cos his moves are impossible to master. Who in the world can spin 3 or 4 rounds in the air? Insane. That’s why I like him. Now he ranks 4th on my favorites list.
R-truth theme lyrics (1st portion only):
You know what time it is? Lets crank it up. Here we go, here we go.
PEOPLE OVER THERE WHATS UP! If you feel me stand up and say whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whatsup! Whats up! Whats up!
You can get with this, or you can get with that. You better get with this, cos this is where it’s at. Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up! Whats up!
The same applies here as to the 1st link. People remembers it easily. Why? Everytime Zhen Hua say go MX blog, they will know the link. Haha of cos cos they know the song. Zhen Hua even went to the extent to sing: So you see the writing on the wall???
Its Jeff Hardy’s wwe new theme song. I like his entrance. Ranks 6th on my list. But he is not very high up in my favorite wrestler list.
Jeff Hardy theme lyrics (1st portion only)
DON’T YOU SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL? (DON’T YOU SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL?) You're in way over your head You're gonna drown in the things that you said
Time has come and gone for words A thousands threats I've heard before But words are cheap, but lies are ment to kill
Time has come and gone for words A thousands threats I've heard before And all your words are too big to take
Jeff Hardy's entrance
Jeff Hardy WWE theme. Wa all the moves so nice. I can only master 50% of his moves. Whisper in the wind etc too difficult.
The next day, 1A06 organised a badminton outing at TWCC. This meeting is by far, the most significant. Why? Here are the reasons.
1) To me, this is the 1st badminton event that so many people went to. (Me, How Cher, Jerald, Wenbin, Shenglong, Luck Koon, Eldred, Mabel, Jiamin and Audrey I think is these people only) 10 people. Quite a lot.
2) This is the 1st badminton meeting that Luck Koon and I will be appearing together. We went for some badminton meetings but this was the 1st we were going together.
Met Luck Koon at 11.30 at Compass Point. Then we took bus 27 to Tampines. Stopped at the stop before Safra. We met up with Eldred at the overhead Bridge. Then we walked to TWCC.
We were late. Reached a around 12.10. But ony got Jiamin, Mabel and Audrey inside. We warmed-up 1st. 1 by 1 came. Then after playing till like 2.45, we quickly went down to the McDonalds downstairs to buy lunch. Lucky still got the afternoon offer thingy. We bought takeaway and went back u for lunch cos it was full. No seats.
After lunch, we played tournament. 5 teams so we played sort of like round robin. How Cher and Wenbin, Shenglong and Jiamin, Luck Koon and Audrey, Jerald and Mabel, Eldred and me. These were the 5 teams.
We played until the end, only got Eldred and me vs How cher and Wenbin. I think is like that. Then in the end, Eldred and I won. We were so tired after that. After a few mor rounds, we packed up and left. The rest went to have dinner. Only Jiamin and I going home. She left 1st. I chatted with the rest a while more before I left.
Then the irritating part comes. While I was crossing the road outside the CC, got 4 secondary school students was attempting to cross the road. I dunno what in the world were they thinking cos they waited when it was green light and then crossed at the red light. The first girl crossed then suddenly got "BEEEEEEEPP" sound. She almost got knocked down. She jumped back and laughed??? What were they thinking. I was like 30 metres away from the the traffic light but I just crossed as I was rushing. I ran past then those 4 sec school pple shouted "POWER SIA! So pro in crossing the road!" Stupid people, dumb people. Pardon me for my language. Sorry for that.
After that when I came out of the HDB buildings, I am confronted by 2 decisions. Should I take 27 from Safra there or Century Square? I was at the middle of these 2 stops when I walked out of the HDB flats. Coincidentally, a 27 drove past. It was full. This implies that alot of people at the Safra bus stop. Walked to Century Square as there are some empty buses. Got onto 1 empty bus, went home.
On March 8, I think is that day. Blame me for not blogging so I forgot the date. Jia Ying promised us to treat all members in the peeps to lunch. So, we met up in Compass Point at 1. Then the last person came at 1.30. Dalilah came so late.
We took 89 to Downtown East. On the bus, the 6 of us took the last row. But, only got 5 seats so I sat on the seat in front of that row. Miracles do happen. 5 people can squeeze into that row. Joseph you slim down le. Lol. But then halfway through, Zhen Hua came to sit beside me. I think he cannot tahan the squeeze anymore.
Reach Seoul Garden. We examine the pot in front of us. SO small. 6 of us. Ok we started ordering from the computer. Dalilah funny, thought it was touch screen. We ate alot. Ate from 2 to 4.30. The most epic thing is everytime we want to order more food from the computer, I will say, order deep fried fishball. Ordered about 10 plus plates of fishballs. Ate about 15 fishballs or more. Then, was damn full la. Cannot stand up straight after that. Saw 1 1A07 guy walking past Seoul Garden. Lol.
After that, went for a walk in Pasir Ris park. Their feet got damn dirty as they played in the sand. Went to wash their feet after that. After that, left Pasir Ris park.
While walking to take the bus, upon passing the carpark of downtown east, we heard screams. Either it is a robbery or something cos saw a few people chasing each other but disappeared in a few seconds.
Then we took bus 89 home. Peak hour. 1st bus full. 2nd bus ok. Last row occupied but we were lucky enough cos 1 stop later, got 3 consecutive rows of seat empty. Just enough for 6 of us.
For the 1st time, I was the fist to say goodbye. Normally, I will be the last to leave in the journey be it poly friends meeting or sec friends meeting. Said goodbye when bus reached my stop.
Guys, I know that I have not been blogging for these few days. I did not blog because I wanted to put pictures then my brother have to either go to school or projects so he took my phone.
No phone= no pictures =no blog posts
To atone for my mistakes, I put some funny videos for you all to enjoy.
Hitler likes SNSD. My sis showed me this.
Funny commercial promoting Wrestlemania 21. I think most of u saw this before. Dun ask me whether I am talking to you.
Things are getting more and more fun. Read my previous 2 posts if you have not cos this is my 3rd post that I am updating in a day.
At the 2nd day of holidays, met up with 3 of the peeps to watch royal rumble at Zhen Hua’s house. I met up with Joseph at 10.45 at the bus stop near his house. As usual, I sms him the license plate of the bus so he knows which bus to board. Then Zhen Hua sms-ed some Japanese message to Joseph and I. We replied crap to him. Not the word crap but a paragraph talking crap to him.
We reached Zhen Hua’s house and met Zhen Hua at the stop. We waited for Nizar then ate at Hougang Point. Then, we went to Nicholas’s house to watch royal rumble. We did some meaningful things. Besides watching, we also practiced OB.
During the Randy Orton vs Sheamus for the WWE title match, we applied our OB. These are what we said:
1) This is a dysfunctional conflict as you need to fight and there will be negative consequences such as injuries.
2) This is a fixed ratio system as they are paid for every match besides their basic pay.
3) Before the match, they showed highlights leading to the match. 2 weeks ago, Sheamus attacked Randy Orton after Randy Orton’s match with Chris Masters. Last week, Randy Orton RKO-ed Sheamus during his match with John Cena. We said this is caused by revenge, or security.
4) Randy Orton always stick with Legacy members Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase due to his need for safety and that is the reason for joining groups. However, he do not need them in this match as it will lead to disqualification.
5) The main cause of conflict was due to Objective Interference. This is because there is only a championship belt and 2 are fighting for it.
6) We say they are undergoing competing under Kenneth Thomas that theory. This will lead to win-lose situation cos there will be 1 winner and 1 loser.
7) We say the Legacy is an interest and friendship group as they need friends and also, tthey want to dominate together.
I think we said more than that. These are some I could remember.
After watching, we went to play billard. Zhen Hua booked the room for 3 hours. We played 2 on 2 throughout the 3 hours but with different partners. At the end, we totaled up the number of scores. Each of us sank the black ball once before sinking all our own type so each of us minus 5 points. It ended up with :
The first day of holiday, went to school to do petition. I reached very late. 90 minutes late because I went to cut my hair in Hougang that morning. There were Audrey, Jiamin, Mabel, and Jerald. We finished the petition, send to Thar Hwe to review. Then we played Audrey’s I-touch. All those puzzle games requires high IQ. We played and by 7 we left. I broke a lot of records. At least that day, I did something meaningful.
27th February 2010, one of the most memorable days in my life. That day, Andrew will be flying to Australia for his studies. We decided to send him off. That afternoon, at about 2.30, I arranged a time to meet Luck Koon. But in the end, he said he need to go home and bathe so I arranged a time with How Cher instead.
Reached the stop. Got down and looked for his block. Spent 10 minutes looking for his block. LOL. I did not know where his block was. Saw all the blocks except for his number. 1st time. Then we went to buy Bubble Tea for Andrew. Durian flavor. Lol will Andrew be affected by the smell when he is on the plane?
Went to meet up with the rest at Terminal 2. We chatted, played Saboteur, played yoyo, played mighty beans. Dunno why got so many things to play. After that, took skytrain to Terminal 1. When we were approaching the skytrain station, we saw the skytrain. So all 12 of us ran, IN A STRAIGHT LINE. It looks kind of weird and funny.
Reached T1. Andrew went to check in. The rest of us chatted. By that time, some of the girls had already cried (dun worry I wont mention names). After checking in, each of us said something to Andrew. The conversation concluded with Andrew saying the final speech. Quite emotional.
Went towards the departure area. Before Andrew went in, he hugged each of us, or rather we hugged him for the last time. That part made one guy cried. Ok I think I was on the verge but nope, I held it back. Andrew went in, he waved goodbye and we waved back. Of cos, we also waved goodbye to his brother.
Eldred, Allen and Min hui left after that. The rest of us went to have our dinner, at Xin Wang café. We split into 2 tables. Me, How Cher, Audrey, Jiamin and Mabel 1 table, Jerald, Luck Koon, Thar Hwe and Wen Bin at another table. After our dinner, we took skytrain to terminal 2 to take bus 27. Mabel took MRT. Thar Hwe took a different bus, bus 53 I think. The rest of us took 27. Wen Bin dropped off 1st, at the stop near SAFRA. Then, at the Tampines regional library, Jiamin alighted the bus. At that time, got parade or something then got a lot of beautifully decorated lightings on the cars. The people waved into the bus. Jiamin watching at the bus stop opposite. We waved back. At the next stop, Jerald and How Cher alighted. Audrey went off at the stop near IKEA (before highway). Left Luck Koon and me. We took the bus to outside Compass Point. Luck Koon not feeling very well so walked with him into Compass Point.
After saying goodbye, I ran home, as in sprinted. My family was expecting a visitor, my dad’s friend. I reached home in 3 minutes. Wow, I was covered in sweat. Upon reaching the 1st floor of my block, I can clearly hear my dads friend saying goodbye. Then waited at 1st floor for him to come down. BUT BUT BUT, he went out at level 3. I think he parked his car there. I went up. Too bad.
That night, night night, at around 3, Jerald logged off from msn. Just at that time, someone talked to me on Facebook. I heard the pop sound, went to look and realized it was Wibowo. I wanted to ask him about Andrew then he said ‘I am Andrew using my bro’s account’. Immediately, I see who is online then I tell them Andrew reached Australia le and say want to chat with him hurry cos he taking another flight soon. Only Mabel was online. I quickly sms Jerald. He came online. We talked to Andrew. I left at 3.30. Then at around 3.40, Jerald sms-ed me saying Andrew also went off le.
Finally, the last paper, Financial Accounting 2(FA2). Remember to read my 3 previous post before this cos I did a post for each paper. Last paper. The day before that, Luck Koon, Eldred, Wen Bin and Thar Hwe met up to study FA2 at my house. We did a lot of questions. Then there was a question that no one in the class can solve, not until Venus asked tutor. But, I still dunno the answer as of this time.
The day we took FA2 paper, it was also the day Andrew submitted his withdrawal form from TP. So, met up with Luck Koon, Eldred, Gan and Jiong Zhen to have lunch at S11. Then we went to the bus stop. However, bus came when we were still a distance away. Luck Koon ran after the bus while the rest of us jogged. Luck Koon went up 1st and I was last. When I went up, the first thing I heard was Luck Koon shouting Thar Hwe. LOUD. Lol. Cos Thar Hwe was also on that bus. 2 stops later, Joseph also board the bus.
We reached school and took some pictures with Andrew and his brother Wibowo. Both of them looked alike. Some of us almost mistaken Andrew for Wibowo. We took pictures before saying goodbye to Andrew cos he not taking the paper. Went up for the paper.
In the history of taking FA papers, this was the first paper that I found the most confident. This may be because I did ample questions and also, I did those challenging ones. Also, I studied those which I am not sure of until I understand.
After the paper, most of the class went to watch movies. I went home by myself as Joseph was meeting his cousin. I ran. OOOMMMGGG. I ran and felt so relaxed cos it was holidays. However, I did not realize that my classmates saw me running on the bus. So embarrassing!!! (Reference: Auntie Lucy)
The next paper was Macroeconomics. For this paper, somehow, I think that I did not put in as much effort compared to OB and Bus Stats. Well, at least I did put in effort to study the booklet 3 times and memorised some of the important terms.
The next day, as usual, I went to Compass Point to study with Luck Koon and Eldred at KFC. We bought some food. After revising, we went up to the Kopitiam at the 4th floor to have our lunch. Eldred told us about his unique dream, about meetings with his friends and 1A06. Then got a couple near the end. Luck Koon also shared some of his dreams. I think it was about Singapore got invaded or something
Then the ownage part came. I got owned. We were talking about our CDS next year. Luck Koon said that we can appeal… The word is appeal… APPEAL… Just as he said that word, a grain of rice sprang out of his mouth and flew towards me. Cant find the grain of rice anywhere. It is either on the floor, flew into my clothes or… it was in my plate of rice. Lol. He did not did it on purpose so we laughed.
Then, we went to take bus 27. This time, there was no Joseph. There was Yi Yang. Who was Yi Yang? Luck Koon’s public speaking classmate. So when we were walking towards the bus stop, we saw him and Luck Koon said hello to him. One thing Luck Koon did not know was Yi Yang was my secondary schoolmate.
Yi Yang asked Luck Koon what he was doing here. Luck Koon said he was studying with his friend. Then Yi Yang said: Your friend is also my friend. Lol. Another ownage.
We reached school. Went to the class we were supposed to go. Took econs paper.
That paper can be considered screwed to a certain extent. I guess I had too much information, resulting in information overload. My information was all messed up. I messed up movement and shift, monetary and fiscal. As a result, for my 1st 8 MCQ, my mind had the answer of ‘A’, but my hand shaded ‘B’ instead. I think I was taking that paper in a confused state of mind. Hope that I can get at least a ‘B’, cos section B was ok for me, except for the last question where I mixed up movement and shift.
Just a reminder, before reading this post, there is a post down there which I just updated.
Next paper was Oranisational Behaviour (OB). That paper requires so much memorizing. That was why I started memorising 2 weeks before the paper. I guess most of us had a hard time preparing for this paper. The day before the paper, I cramped all the things into my head. I memorized all the ticks from Group Dynamics, except Leadership. So, leadership was my Achilles Heel. Worried that question will be in the essay. But luckily, nope. As for the rest of the topics, I read once then I dunno why, I seem to remember all the ticks as well. Guess it was because I memorized those for the mid-sem paper.
That paper was in the morning and it was the only paper in the morning. Met up with Joseph and we had a conversation, all on OB. We tested each other. Everything seems ok. Went to find the rest when I reached school. Tested each other as well. Confidence suddenly increased.
During the paper, I wasted too much time on MCQ. Took about 20 minutes I think. Then I went to do Section B and C. When I was at the 3rd question, there was a crack in my wrist suddenly. I think I wrote too fast. Put down my pen and tried to twist it back, but to no avail. So just continue writing, although it hurts a little. Speed slowed down due to my wrist. Finished section B in 1 hour 39 minutes.
Bad bad, cos this means that I have only 30 minutes remaining for the last 2 essay questions and to make matters worse, each essay question was split into 2 parts. Wa! I dun care the pain and continued. Finished the 1st question in 15 minutes. Then I tried twisting my wrist again. “CRACK” YES! Finally, I twisted it back. The feeling is so great. Continued to chiong the paper and finished it 4 minutes before the ending time. This paper is ok. Hope to get an “A”. I think I may fall into the “B” category if marker is strict. If not, “A” will be my target.
Ok time to update: Exams. Ya exams, everyone’s nightmare. But our nightmare is over. I think I will blog on that.
The first paper was business statistics. Met up with Luck Koon, Eldred and Gan in Compass Point. Then we went to burger king to revise. It was quite quiet cos 50% of the time, we were the only customers. It is heaven and hell if I were to compare with afternoon cos students will dine here.
Then we revised. Quite productive. They clarified their queries. Then we help Gan to do some last minute revision. However, the CD shop outside kept playing a Korean show in FULL BLAST. Although we were sitting inside, the voice was LOUD. That was the only disruptive thing.
Ate lunch but then the auntie was not there so we ordered from someone else. Wanted to ask the auntie whether it was afternoon or not (the time was 12+ already). Then we ate and we went to take bus 27. We waited for a while and coincidentally, Joseph came not long after. We took the bus top school. Gan went to meet someone so the 3 of us went to school first.
Took the bus stats paper. The paper was ok. Most of the questions was similar to all the papers I did at the back. Lucky I did all 5 papers. It saved me. Aiming for an “A”. Cos there are bound to be mistakes and carelessness which may be fatal.
