Sorry guys, i know i have not updated my blog for a damn long time. So this'll be my last post until the End-Of-Year examinations are over. Gotta mug, you know. And you, yes YOU, should be studying too.
-----
Let's start from the beginning. Bible quiz on saturday, missed Legion meeting. Ian jr. was there and agreed to report this saturday, tomorrow. Caius was supposed to come but his mum wanted him to stay home and study, lest he gets expelled. So yeah, please pray for him. Reserve didn't come either, so Isaac and i went with 2 Hai Sing Catholic students. Natalia and Tessa, who were apparently at the Ngee Ann Poly exhibition too. She recognised me. Ashton went with 3 other GIRLS. Aaron was jealous, as you would have expected. In the end we did not get to the finals, but the experience was worth it. By the way, we had lemon barley from Mrs Audrey Chong. The condensed water dripped on the table and Isaac and i started drawing XD XP =) =D =P faces. Natalia joined in and wrote: "Thanks You! I love you!" on the table and tapped Isaac's shoulder and pointed at it. Isaac CLAIMED he did not know. Hahhaa.
-----
My pencil case is done, too. I'm going to create 2 more, 1 for my brother (as his belated birthday present, you can't expect me to do it when i have exams, can you?) and another for my friend.
-----
My marks, after adding behaviour and conduct and homework and base tests and whatnot, in total i have 63.5%. I guess i may be able to appeal for S5, the subject combination i want.
-----
2 Star Kayaking form. Went with Justin to hand up Leroy's, mine, and his. Couldn't find Kia Kiat so we wanted to give Feldman. Suddenly Jerome came and so i asked him to call out Kai En for us. Same class. So we gave him the form. Then i went down with Marvin for fun and he went to give Kia Kiat his form. Funny thing happened, my mind too full of crap to remember what happened to type it out.
-----
PE yesterday, watched a video, lest we fall and injure ourselves before the exams. Mr. Seah asked us questions. Leroy answered wrongly (on purpose) and was asked to do push-ups. He clap that time, Yi Xuan and gang chiong next to him and also do. Hahaha. Guai-lan.
-----
I volunteered to create Wei Ming's Dota clan blogskin too. After exams. You'll see.
-----
i got cherry credits too. 40k. Upgraded my account to X-guardian. Show you some pictures.
Protector Armour, now with spikes on shoulder and chest.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! XD
I was supposed to blog yesterday but SWAT was till after midnight so no time.
-----
Thursday was the same, though i stayed back to buy a pair of slippers and shoes for some citi exhibition at Ngee Ann Poly. Ms Chia volunteered me for it without my own consent when i was at Camp FEAST. Expenditure: $47.90. $15 on slippers and $32.90 on shoes. I'm getting a refund so no worries.
-----
Friday. After the 6 hour exhebition which none of my friends from other schools went. I got my photo taken with the certificate, though. =D Went back as fast as i could but by the time i reached, the NCC company Besurai liao. Waited 30min for Sir Daryl's pep-talk stuff.
-----
Saturday. Glad Ian from NCC Part A came. He decided to continue coming and add to our numbers. Melvin is going to feng xian in 1 or 2 weeks time! Yeah! XD
-----
Today Rong Fu supposed to ling jing, i backup. Saved when Robin asked Julian to ling instead! Haha! By the way, Shermaine, you looked like some meena hooker schoolgirl. XD Forgive me. Please.
Where did i stop, eh? Oh right. Let me see what happened now...
-----
On Monday, we had the synchronised prayer on Mother Mary's birthday. Did not so much so give me the same feeling i had last year, when we did the same thing. Still, it was awesome, to know that everybody is praying at the same time.
-----
And, on the same day, my piano teacher said that i had JUST scraped through my piano examination! If i kena minus 1 mark, i wouldn't be in grade 8 now. It was the examiner who was extremely lenient though. The girl that we met on that day, right after my own examination, got 110+. It's upon 150, but 100 is a pass. Which i managed to get. =D. Amazing, ain't it? Yeah, that day was also my lucky day, you could say. My mum did not scold me (much) and i managed to do all my September School Assignments (which is just 21 math questions) and hand it up in time, directly before RME.
-----
Tuesday was an average, but slightly better, day for me. Didn't do my Chinese tuition homework, as usual. But teacher didn't scold me. She gave me some therapy of some sort. Told me about how "people who earn a hell lot of money are the least happy (she was referring to my mother)" and that i "should do everything she says and just study hard", which i did. And she saw me doing my work (school and her own assignments that she bought) and she didn't scold me. She was really proud, in fact. And i didn't even know that i could actually do all these without touching my computer. Yeah, i slept a bit, but still, i managed to complete everything. Right now i'm using the computer and at night i'm going to do my homework, so she can't blame me for not studying. =D
-----
Today i went around asking my platoonmates what they wish to be when we take over, and here are the (official) results.
2009 Part A PS: James, Justin, Jun Jie
S2 (Medic): Marvin
S3 (Training Spec): Ming Long, Yan Zhao
S4 (Logistics Spec): Christian
PTI: Leroy
The rest are unconfirmed yet, still pending. We are going to vote Kee Yuen as CSM, and the twins as ASM, if voting is actually possible. The Ma'ms and Sirs might just pick someone else. So yeah, if everything is according to plan, that'll be really great, and it shows teamwork amongst the platoon.
-----
Au Yong Chong Sin Marvin's initials are: AYCSM. A small joke. He's too soft and can't shout properly. If he deals with these problems and gets into Sea Competition, he has a chance of being CSM. He has potential.
-----
Speaking of Sea Competition, Justin and i are going to try out for the doubles. Problem is, Justin will have to go for many trainings. Bends & Hitches, Sea Competition and Orienteering. He actually MIGHT become the CSM. All the same, we are going to try, to get myself more CIP hours for going for Sea and Bends & Hitches Competitions. Hopefully, we do not need to turn for the entire 100m or so. Because our turning just plain sucks. Because of me, mainly. But i will try to train properly, the next few times i kayak.
-----
Anyone up for Kayaking and/or Paintball at the end of the year? Paintball is $35.90 for 100 paintballs. Game time is 1h30min, including safetly briefing. You need to be 14 years old according to birthdate. Kayaking will be confirmed soon.
THOSE WHO WISH TO GO FOR KAYAKING, PAINTBALL, BOTH OR FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT 82001981 BY NOVEMBER 30TH. FOR PAINTBALL, WE NEED AN EVEN NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO SPLIT INTO 2 TEAMS. PEOPLE WHO WISH TO GO FOR PAINTBALL MUST ASK THEIR PARENTS FIRST, BECAUSE OF THE WASHABLE STAINS IF YOU GET SHOT. THANKS.
As much as i and everyone else hates to be the bearer of bad news, i'll just say it out. Our school's NCC unit might get Silver instead of Gold for BUC. I said "might", because we still have our Proficiency Test, our Heritage Trail which we did today, and our Marksmanship Competition. So hopefully, we'll get Gold. If not, we would lose our chance to get Gold for 10 years running. Our first time that we actually MIGHT get Silver. We have never been so close to losing this much before. I promise, that when we take over, we will train the entire company like hell. We can't afford this another time.
-----
Sea competition was performed really badly. We had last place 3 times in just one day. Our first time actually getting LAST place! I don't blame Vernon, many of us said we were undertrained. Same goes to the Orienteering team who had very few trainings, and the Bends & Hitches team which had only 2 or 3 trainings. Part B's got 6th postition and Part A's got 4th. Very close. Although Part B's got 6th, both A's and B's just needed 2 points to get the Bronze Medal, to help with the Gold award for the company.
-----
National Heritage Train today. The purpose was actually that it was a Bonus for the BUC. It was really fun, honestly. We went around Little India, something like the Amazing Race. We just had to know the history of a certain place and answer a question. So far we had all correct. There was a prize for the first team that finished. We were supposed to be 2nd, but our Sergeant said we should rest a while and buy drinks and chui air-con in the Food Court. So we did and we went back to the Last Station that we went to. Apparently, the team hadn't even reached yet. So we reki-reki walk walk slowly and reached back at Farrer Park MRT Station as the last team because the other team went back, my guess, without completing the Quiz thing. There was this Parrot Astrologer at one of our checkpoints that, when coaxed out of the cage, picked out a card or something that tells you your fortune. Though not neccessary, we realised in the end and a Part A just lost $3 because of that, another Part A (i can't remember his name, damn) went for the fortune telling thing, and it talked about him having a marriage in the family and talks about his children or something. According to Sergeant, he has a "very bright future ahead of him, and should look forward to it." Awesome, the Trail was.
-----
Many things which i do not wish to share, at the very least not on my blog, happened. About Ma'm Toh (during Sea Competition) and Sergeant Ronald (during Heritage Trail).
-----
I really hope that we will win the Gold. I pray to God that we would. Prayer helps very effectively, especially if you help youself too. =D

One recommended Chinese song (in han yu pin yin, cause my computer can't type Chinese words): nan ren nu ren (man woman). I don't know who sand it. Inspired from Sir Teng and Ms Lee Shiao Pei. Sir should join Singapore Idol. Damn nice song. Now all the NCC guys like to suan him. All whistle the song on play it on the phone in front of him. Haha. But damn nice.
