1A06 class chalet (1st day)...

From 14th April to 16th April, 1A06 held it class chalet. Since there were so many events, I have decided to separate the posts.

On the first day, the class met up at 11am or later while I only went to the chalet in the evening. Left my house at 4 plus, with a bag and a small luggage due to the fact that I am bringing the whole mahjong set along and its quite big. Lol.

During the journey, the sign board on the highway states that there was a traffic accident on the highway. I remembered Luck Koon saying that he also encountered with an accident. Called him. He said his accident was something like that: A van and a bus collided (Did I got that right?) and the driver seat of the van was completely squashed. The accident I saw was like that: A huge truck overturned on a slope. My gosh, so many fatal accidents.

Anyway, I reached Pasir Ris interchage at 5 plus. Not sure of which bus stop to alight when I board 403. Called Audrey, asked for directions.

Based on her descriptions, I alighted and she said she was at the bus stop. Oops, the bus stop was 3 stops away. Walked 3 stops.

Audrey and Mabel fetched me to the chalet. It was a terrace house. WOW!!! The guys were playing texas while the girls were watching DVD. I watched the guys play.

After a while, Allen, Jiong Zhen, Luck Koon and Eldred went to play basketball. The rest of us were either talking or playing mahjong. After that, when the guys returned, ordered KFC and Canadian Pizza. The 4 guys went to bathe and the interesting part comes...

Allen asked Eldred: Why are you so close to Audrey?
Eldred: We are an item already you dunno meh?
Allen started asking everyone. He was like shouting. Haha he cannot believe it. After that, we broke the news to Minhui. She cant take it either. She screamed. I really meant scream. AHHHHHH!!!! Then she started crying. She cant take it too. Lol.

At night, Jerald, Luck Koon, Thar Hwe, Jiong Zhen, Wenbin and I were at the living room watching TV. The rest were upstairs chatting I think. At about 9.45, they came down. Then we talked alot, played many things. Finally, at 2, the remaining people who did not bathe went to bathe. Only Jerald, Thar Hwe, Wenbin and I have not bathe yet. Thar Hwe went first and bathe for almost half an hour. Wenbin next, about 15 minutes followed by Jerald also 15 minutes. Lastly, I bathe for about 20 minutes. No wonder they bathe so long. The water was damn shiok.

After that, we went to our respective rooms. The girls shared 1 room, Allen and Eldred another room while Luck Koon, Jerald, Thar Hwe, Wenbin and I shared the last room. We were chatting and played jie(1) long (2) game for about half an hour before we were to tired and fell asleep. The last word in the jie long game was shui(4) jiao (4) which means sleep. Lol.

Working in Seagate for almost a week...

From April 8th al the way till April 13th (excluding Sunday), Joseph, Zhen Hua(excluding April 13th) and I worked in Seagate. It was tough and tiring and Joseph bled almost everyday and even bled more then once for some days. Lots of blisters too. Funworking experience.

I cant talk to you much about the procedures but I can talk about some interesting things. Got my dad, mum, the 3 of us and my uncle. We worked from 8am to 7pm daily. There was a day Zhen Hua got scolded by the security guard as the guard thought he was taking a photo which in fact, never happened. Security was quite strict. Also, Joseph appeared full red in the thermal scanner. Lol. Haha.

On April 8, went to celebrate Sister's birthday right after work. Fun too. Worked for 5 whole days.

On the last day, which was the 5th day, Zhen Hua never work with us as he went to TP to help out in the freshmen camp. Joseph and I worked in a cupboard and it was damn slippery as oil was spilt. We recalled Zhen Hua saying that his tutor called him "Hen Hua" with a silent "Z". It was funny pronouncing it. Hence we said gthe floor was "Hen Hua" (See Zhen Hua) and it was "Hen Hui" (Joseph's mandarin name). Lol!

Gunbound...

For the next 2 days, on the 6th and 7th April, I stayed at home and played Gunbound with Zhen Hua, Joseph and Nizar through Skype. It was fun though and Zhen Hua was very cheeky. He taught me alot of tagalog (philipino language), Japanese and Joseph taught me Korean. We are Multi-national. The 4 of us combined know the following laguages: English, Chinese, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, Vietnam langusge(forgot its name), French. Why did we learn so many in the first place?

We played Gunbound together for those 2 days. Zhen Hua was SirWerlock, Nizar was SirJackOff and SirSlack, Joseph was SirMmoand and SirCurse while I am SirDuce. We are the Sirs if you still never catch it. We won more than we lost. I played quite funny as I was still a newbie. Played from morning till evening those 2 days.

Bowling for the 3rd time...

On April 5th, I went to play bowling for the 3rd time in my life. This time, I played with Eldred, Audrey and Mabel. We played at Downtown East and it was quite empty since it was a Monday.

We started playing and we played in the following sequence: Mabel, me, Audrey, Eldred. We played non-stop for 3 hours and played a total of 5 games. Sorry, never took photographs of the results.

The results for the 1st game:
1st: Eldred (114 points)
2nd: Audrey (74 points)
3rd Ming Xuan (64 points)
4th: Mabel (35 points)

The results for the 2nd game:
1st: Eldred (134 points)
2nd: Mabel (83 points)
3rd: Audrey (73 points)
4th: Ming Xuan (71 points)

The results for the 3rd game:
1st: Eldred (144 points)
2nd: Ming Xuan (96 points)- I broke my record
3rd: Mabel (77 points)
4th: Audrey (71 points)

The results for the 4th game:
1st: Eldred (166 points)
2nd: Audrey (88 points)
3rd: Mabel (65 points)
4th: Ming Xuan (61 points)

The results for the 5th game:
1st: Eldred (111 points)
2nd: Audrey (55 points)
3rd: Ming Xuan (54 points)
4th: Mabel (49 points)

By adding up the scores for all 5 games, we get:
1st: Edlred (669 points)
2nd: Audrey (361 points)
3rd: Ming Xuan (346 points)
4th: Mabel (309 points)

As you can see, Eldred always score more than 100 points. He uses spin ball which is damn nice. Went home after that.

Bowling for the 2nd time...

On 31st March, I went to play bowling with Joseph, Zhen Hua and Nizar. Joseph had free coupons for bowling and that is why we were going for the game. In fact, that was the last day before the coupon expires. Lol. This was the 2nd time I played bowling. The 1st time was a few years back so I can say that I have almost zero experience playing.

We went to Tampines Safra. Quite cheap. $2.70 per game if I remembered correctly. Joseph and Zhen Hua was trying spin ball all the while. Nizar and I were playing our own style. Quite a fun game actually as we all gave our best. I had taken down the results too.

The results for the 1st game:



1st: Ming Xuan (79 points)
2nd: Nizar (73 points)
3rd: Zhen Hua (58 points)
4th: Joseph (50 points)

The results for the 2nd game:



1st: Nizar (67 points)
2nd: Joseph (58 points)
3rd: Ming Xuan (57 points)
4th: Zhen Hua (49 points)

The results for the 3rd game (we changed the sequence by swapping it opposite):



1st: Zhen Hua (87 points)
2nd: Nizar (86 points)
3rd: Ming Xuan, I was called MXNL for this game. (48 points)
4th: Joseph (43 points)

So by adiing up all the points for the 3 games, we get:
1st: Nizar (226 points)
2nd: Zhen Hua (194 points)
3rd: Ming Xuan (184 points)
4th: Joseph (151 points)

After that, we played a game of pool for 2 dollars. The balls all rolled out after we inserted the coins. We secretly catch the balls to prevent them from scoring so we can play longer. Lol. In the end, we caught 3 solids and 3 stripes and we anyhow play.

After that, we walked around before going home.

Billiard the whole afternoon...

Somewhere along that week, I met up with Joseph, Zhen Hua, Nizar and Desmond Lim for billiard at the games room in Zhen Hua' condo. As usual, we met up, have lunch and then head over to the games room.

Initially, our plan is to watch the last match of elimination chamber first before playing billiard but Zhen Hua said no one booked from 12 to 4. He said he booked from 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 cos he is confident that no one will book between 2 to 3 so we have an extra hour. Lol who knows when someone really go and book.

This time, it is very special cos I have recorded the person who was eliminated of each and every match. Haha. Desmond Lim lost black and white so he is eliminated for the first round.

1st match: Desmond eliminated (1)
2nd match: Joseph eliminated (1)
3rd match: Nizar eliminated (1)
4th match: Ming Xuan eliminated (1)
5th match: Desmond eliminated (2)
6th match: Ming Xuan eliminated (2)
7th match: Nizar eliminated (2)
8th match: Zhen Hua eliminated (1)
9th match: Nizar eliminated (3)
10th match: Ming Xuan eliminated (3)
11th match: Desmond eliminated (3)
12th match: Ming Xuan eliminated (4)
13th match: Nizar eliminated (4)
14th match: Zhen Hua eliminated (2)
15th match: Nizar eliminated (5)
16th match: Desmond eliminated (4)
17th match: Joseph eliminated (2)
18th match: Desmond eliminated (5)
19th match: Nizar eliminated (6)
20th match: Desmond eliminated (6)
21st match: Nizar eliminated (7)

After sorting out the results, the placings are:
1st: Zhen Hua and Joseph who only got eliminated 2 times
2nd: Ming Xuan who only eliminated 4 times
3rd: Desmond who got eliminated 6 times
4th: Nizar who got eliminated 7 times

After that, we played curling using the pool table. Nizar was referee so the rest of us played 2 on 2. There was a point in the centre and we had to push a ball and whoever is the nearest at the end of the game, the team wins. Each person have 3 balls (literally balls). It was a fun game but I never record anything. All I can say is that Desmond's hand always cross the line when rolling. Haha.

At 4 plus, we left. I rushed home as my sister needs to go to collect her results. While travelling to Pei Hwa via dad's van, we saw Wilson crossing the road. He never saw me of course. I sms him then he replied.

Reached school. No more Parent-teacher meeting. They are using a new system so that parents are altogether in groups and discuss with teachers. But before that, there was a speech on the "o" level results of the previous cohort. My sister got her report book back after that.

Can consider this as a busy day.

Another session of badminton with 1A06...

Somewhere along that week, 1A06 had another badminton session. 8 of us were present(Me, Thar Hwe, Luck Koon, Eldred, Audrey, Jiamin, Mabel and Huiqi). Jerald came and left after like 45 minutes.

What did we play exactly? We played at TWCC. The boys used 1 court while the girls used another court. The girls were more of chatting then playing. They were discussing about the chalet, rather.

As for the boys, we played competitive badminton. We sweated like we just finished bathing. Halfway through, the feathers of the shuttlecock came off 1 by 1. Then we played a game called see who have more feathers dropping on his side of the court. Eldred and I VS Luck Koon and Thar Hwe.

Jerald came halfway so Eldred and I targeted him while playing. I was quite unlucky as I hit Jerald on the leg. At the end of the feathers game, there was only 1 feather left on the shuttlecock. 20 feathers had fallen, with Eldred and I winning by 11-9.

After that, we went downstairs for lunch. Got policemen. After lunch, went up. Jerald leaving. Took photos and continued playing.

After a few games, saw Thar Hwe going downstairs. Thought he was going to buy drinks so ran after him. Found him in McDonalds. He told me he lost his EZ-Link card. We searched for 15 minutes on that floor and badminton court. After that, told Thar Hwe to ask the McDonald's manager. True enough, he lost it in McDonalds and the manager had the card.

Went back and played until some Primary students came along and we had to give up the court to them. We went to TP to play badminton. Got SL camp on that day so it was rather noisy and lively.

Went to Sports Hall and played the last match of the tournament. I for got who won. Blame me for not blogging this after the event. But I can remember that I lost real bad in TP. TP sports hall does not seem to like me. We switched partners and players after every game. After winning the 1st game, which is the 3rd-4th placing which I got 3rd placing, I lost the remaining 6 games. Sian. had a win-loss record of 1-6 at Sports Hall.

Working in Seagate... Alone

The next day, on 24th March, I went back to work in Seagate. Got my dad, mum, me, uncle and 1 more guy.

Our task, complete taking out and putting the rims back in a cupboard. Ok, not 1 but 2 cupborads. As for the process, not very ideal to blog about cos it is private.

The only thing I can say is that it is real tiring. We managed to complete 90% of the work at 7pm. The last step of the last side of the cupboard, that is putting the rims back in was not completed. The other side and other cupboard was completed though.

Real tired after that.

Jerald's Birthday...

On the next day, which was the 23rd, it was Jerald’s birthday as well as my blog’s birthday. I met Luck Koon at Potong Pasir MRT. I forgot the time but I think it was 11am. However, he had not reached the station yet so I alighted the train. When he did arrive, the train just came. We ran down 1 storey and managed to go in on time. Took MRT to Outram Park then change and took MRT to Tanjong Pagar.

We took a walk around 1st before we saw Huiqi and Thar Hwe. Then more and more people came. We signed Jerald’s card. After all of us reached, we went to Sakae (Yes I know its pronounced as SA-KA-E) nearby.

We split into 3 tables. Eldred, Luck Koon and I sat on the 1st, Jiamin, Huiqi, Mabel and Audrey the 2nd, and Jerald, Thar Hwe, Wenbin and Jiong Zheng the last table. We ate and ate and ate. Our table was flooded with food and more food. I ate 7 handrolls and close to 20 sushi and more more more. At the end, we played number game with other tables along with their unwanted food and managed to finished 98% of the food. It was full ok. Took pictures.

Then we went toilet. The best part comes. The girls went to the girls toilet while the boys to the gents (Its obvious). In the gents, someone, I dun mention who, you guys can guess, said, I can perform Magic tricks using a 10 cent coin. Then he went to one of the doors and unlock using it. Then when the door opened, a chef was inside doing business. Not small business but big business. The chef uttered some hokkien and Chinese words to the person who unlocked the door. The person was shocked as well and apologized.

The funny thing was, all the doors are closed and that is the only door with people inside. All 7 of us went out and waited urgently for the girls but they never cam out. We know they are taking pictures. Sian. Finally the chef came out and scolded 1 of us again. After another long wait, the girls came out.

Went to Henderson waves. The view was magnificent. We took pictures and climbed to the waves. Then we played games and after that, How Cher arrived with the cake. Celebrated Jerald’s birthday and we are still full. Lol. At around 9, we left. Took a bus to Harbourfront. Took MRT. At Outram Park, all except me, Luck Koon, Huiqi and How Cher left as they taking the green line. Huiqi alighted at Boon Keng, Luck Koon at Potong Pasir and How Cher at Hougang (Why is he alighting here?). I reached home the 2nd I think.

Here are some pictures of Henderson waves.











Working at UBI...

On the 18th, 20th and 22nd March, I went to work at UBI. People who went to work with me were Joseph, his cousin and another guy. We were working in the warehouse of an educational toys company called Expenovate Pte Ltd. The warehouse was at Boustead House and coincidentally, it was opposite Homely Hardware. Lol.

The 1st day of work was the toughest. Carried lots of things out from the warehouse with the guy. Luckily the guy is damn strong. We carried more than 50% of the items in the warehouse out. On the other hand, Jospeh and his cousin were working at the old office where they had to carry those things here, the new office.

They said it was tiring cos they had to carry the same heavy things 7 times. From the old office to the outside then to the lift, then into the lift, then out of the lift, then onto the truck then to the new office. At the new office, the guy and myself went to help unload, then carry to the lift, then up.

After that, we moved some furnitures and put all the things we want into the warehouse. End of 1st day. Took bus 80 home. At about 2 stops before Compass Point, my dad called, saying that he is behind our bus. Luckily we were sseated at the back 5 row seat so we can see each other. I boarded my dad’s car and can see Joseph and his cousinon the bus. They alighted next stop, 1 stop before Compass.

The 2nd day was a Saturday. We built racks that day. It was fun. Boss even treated us to MacDonald’s. At the end of the day, we stood outside the building to wait for my dad. All 3 of us got stung by mosquitoes cos the rain just stopped and there were many puddles of water around. There were a total of more than 25 mosquito bites when Joseph and I combined.

The last day was the most slack. Joseph and I went to the old office to clear the remaining stuff. His cousin and the guy arranged stuff onto the racks at the warehouse. Both venues were more of slacking. Had lunch with Joseph at Starhub building. Lunch was great and cheap.

Went to help arrange stuff onto the racks. After that, packed and we were done. Took bus 80 home. Tiring.

Too bad I cant take any pictures but here is a picture of a deep scratch I got on the 1st day. Or rather 2 scratches that are aparralel and they are not straight. Not quite visible though due to the contrast.

2 events on March 16th...

On March 16, I went to school early in the morning. It was a meeting with the CM regarding class petition. Although we know the outcome, but we still went.

At 10 plus, the meeting started. We kept it short cos we already know their choice. After that, we went to a nearby food centre for breakfast. We chatted and I played the Apple I touch game. The chicken kept chirping. Lol.

At around 11, we all left for different places. I went back to school library where I blogged there for 3 hours. Damn sian there but luckily that day got Sone Cold on Raw so I got something to do besides blogging. At 1, I bought 6 Nuggets at Business park for lunch. After that, back to blogging.

Went to look for them around 2. All the peeps are coming. We went to Minds Café and played lots of board games. After that, we even played the street soccer (What is it called? The soccer games in which we are playing like cooking satay sticks).

Went home the earliest while the rest went for dinner.

Pei Hwa Career Day...

On 12th March, it was Career Day in PHSS. Some Ex-PHSS students went back to the school to share their poly or JC stuff with juniors. Joseph, Zhen Hua and I decided to go a few days ago.

On that day itself, we met very early. 7.45 at the LRT platform. We took Lrt to school. And yes, both sides of the LRT were opened. Last time I took an LRT ride only have 1 side. Wow, it is a long time since I took an LRT ride. Zhen Hua brought a few HTM books. Joseph brought FA1, FA2 notes, textbook and both Microecons and Macroecons notes. What did I bring? People called me siao siao (crazy). I brought all my tutorials, all neatly filed, all test papers packed in an envelope, all exam papers packed in another envelope, APEL book, OB notes, POM notes, Basic Calculus notes, BOA books (Yes all 3 textbooks), E-Business textbook, Comm skills book, Bus stats book and also,some extra stuff. Wow it was so damn heavy. So in the LRT, the sieat belongs to them instead of me.

Reached school. Did our own banner since Joseph and I were the only 2 people representing TP A&F. No Yanling, no Huiting, No Esther, no Guangmin. Only the 2 of us. It’s a good thing though cos 33.33% of the A & F people were present.

Other schools de accountancy was great. Had a chat with Kok Ming. He zapped me. AHHHH! He zapped me. That was what we always did and we are still doing. He was from NP Accounting and his banner was like that. The title was NP accountancy but at the side, it says SP with a big cross on it. Looks hilarious.

Well, YiYang and Danny are the 2 main people in charge. They bought drinks for us etc. We had lunch before 11. Spaghetti, more noodles is free. Wow nice. One of the yummy spaghetti. Then Miss Teo sat beside us. The beside was a 2m gap in between. She cracked a joke saying I know you all dun wan me to sit near u. Lol but she chatted with us, 1 metre away. Haha.

Then at 11, the best part came. The release of exam results. All TP students booth are at one side so we were like nervous. Then suddenly someone’s phone rang. Joseph de. One of the 1st few to get results. All A’s and Z’s. Other course de not as good as our course. Then those haven receive were like complaining. I finally received mine. Then got a lot of discussions.

Then Career Day starts. Got lots of people got scared by our books and HTM books. But HTM got more people. Then coincidentally, Sec 2 Level camp bus came. Then sec 2 people alighted from the bus. Just finished camp. Looked for my brother.

When I finally found him, he said he was going to MacDonald. Then I said goodbye, turn behind and saw my sister. Lol. She is going to Swensens. Lol.

After packing, we took LRT to Compass. On the LRT Yong Da had a chat with me. He asked me whether I am from Poly or JC> I said poly, TP. He said, really meh? I saw you in JC section just now. Lol I then said I from JC. Then he said I from poly. This goes on. Finally, he has no idea where I study. I showed him my TP results. Then he said I from JC. Lol the process continues until we reach Compass Point.

Ate at Yoshinoya. Wow my siblings and I are in Compass Point and at different places. Went home after that.

Here are some pictures I took from Career Day.


This was the banner we did. I was stunned why is there a face on the table at the right side besides Joseph. Thought was a ghost. But remembered it is only a banner hung behind our booth on that day.


All the lecture notes Joseph and I brought.


All the Textbooks that Joseph and I brought.


The whole booth with Joseph in it.
