Wow how long have i left the blog for dead?
Busy busy busy
But if u know sing hau very well, its all in his genes to be busy.
Holiday was scheduled for me to mug milo and all H2 subjects for midyears.
I only managed the first part - the milo - and couldnt get round to the next.
Why? First week itself grandma was critically ill, stayed in Malaysia for a week and a half alternating between the kampung and a hospital in ipoh. Had to see her and check on her hourly status.
3 days after we returned to Singapore, my grandmother was gone.
So there went another week of funeral. By no means could any of this time of about 3 weeks be spent on studies as first, theres a lot to do for funeral and visits, second, i couldnt pack my books, and third, i have no mood to.
So my midyears, bio included, math for sure, is going to the dogs. Nevermind, he can climb out of maggotholes deeper than this.
I hope i can really pull off PW. It will be great. It isnt as bad as FPS so far, so Mdm Janice Lim, wherever you are, you have my heartmost gratitude for your guidance 2 years ago. (!!!)
So now i'm just thinking out what to do for PW, watching Kamen Rider Decade, waiting for 2 big toku movies, starting on CLANNAD anime and waiting for another anime's second season to come out in october. :)
Tell u all something Singhau never did in his life.
No its not that he found a girlfriend, had sex, or got his first kiss stolen.
None of the above. I know many of you were hoping its either of the above.
On the contrary, he wrote a Chinese essay for midyears titled "我婆婆的家". Translated for any nonchinese people, it means : My Grandmother's house. The essay wanted students to compare 2 different feelings about a certain place he visited in different times. And the highlight of this?
I quietly broke down writing about his childhood times spent in that house. I hve never done so during an exam. I was just overwhelmed recalling the times i spent there in the house where my dad grew up in, and where part of me grew up in.
But dont worry about him, Singhau's perfectly fine.

HAPPY MOMMA DAY!
Been pretty darn busy this weekend. If there ain't monday I'll be so much deader.
SYF CHOIR JUDGING we got gold...with honours. We were the first to break cj's performing arts records in all history. Yea man. I'm just somewhat more subdued than others who scream shriek cry tears of joy. Out of 17 choirs 7 got honours. Thats quite a number.
Tua ji's back from new york. She slept the whole day and its too hot for her even in changi airport. Woke up at 5.30 to get her. Thunderstorm made the airport like a freezer even when i have so much blubber. And my sis was sweating.
It was raining so hard this morn and then it had to be so hot for the rest of today.
AAARGH

I'm not feeling too well.
Some people in class are eating away years from my life expectation. Especially in projects carrying CA marks other than PW. I hate to admit, though I know I may be setting too high a standard of work and cooperation and whatever else, and that I cannot influence others to become more ideal ppl that I can work with, I cannot afford to work with people who are EXTREMELY SO BLUR and JUST SIMPLY CANNOT...
...calm down Singhau. Take it easy. A blog's no place to dump your Tyrannosaur of a temper.
I bet it's really big. Make it a Giganotosaur. Bigger and fiercer than a tyrannosaur...
okay. It's just that there are ppl who I end up working to get marks with who I simply cannot work with, because they will end up adding to my workload instead of reducing it and make me waste precious time and effort explaining over and over again, then finding out very quickly that they don't remember ANYTHING i instructed them to do, and making me clean up their horrible mess just to help both them and myself to get marks.
As far as possible, I will have to put careful thought into choosing who to work with in future, or else everyone, not just me, will have to suffer the opportunity costs. These in no way justify just how frustrated I can get whenever these ppl unwittingly make my life hard. Point made.
Some particular friends also ask me a lot (rather often) on what to do especially in a special issue. Though I'll dispense advice whenever I think I should, so that it could probably make you feel more at ease, to treat it as something clinical is a bit too much. Kudos to those who understand what I mean. For others, don't worry, it's not important but you'll know more next time. My best advice: Don't even think of having him/her at such a hectic year unless you want to just end up as the not-so-well off A Level graduates. Trust me. Of course not everyone can look ahead, but I think that more people should be thinking about their futures in the long run and not look at present times. You never know, Singhau may never go looking for lovers in his whole life UNLESS maybe he finds that lovely sexy someone (OMG SINGHAU WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!??!!??!!!!) who can melt his heart.
So unglam and cheesy Singhau, you can do better than that.
And also, don't force me to lie just to achieve something for self-gain. White lie, black lie, green, red, blue, yellow whatever lie. I'll have none of it, and it just tells me more of your personality and how you'd probably do things in future. Heed my warning. Singhau probably possesses an extremely high level of incorruptibility, remains to be properly challenged. Any takers...
Why does Singhau sound so grim and wierd? It's not natural of him...
It's time to cheer up, boy! HAHAHAHAHAAnyways.
CJ Life has both its ups and downs, just as expected of JCs in general. Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine (are you sure?) and I just need to let out a little steam and have a bit of fun now and then (oh.). Though choir's a infernal affair it is still fun as well and has so many great things and people to learn from. Can't wait for SYF and finland. Math is still quite a thorn in my ass but I'll figure it out as I have always managed to in the past.
GP is looking for a challenge with me...looks tough for now but with Singhau you don't know how far he can go. Chinese is fine. Less stressful environment and more attentive and engaging and FUN and maybe slack compared to PHS nonsense. I just have to take issue with the rote-based learning and memorycentric way of teaching and learning all sciences. Though bio may be a little interesting, I have to admit I'd rather not follow the rest blindly into that way of learning. Chem is dull lectures with little good control over the students and just feeding with silver spoons sleeping drugs. Econs is a little slow for me, and could be more intensive.
But that's singapore system, its what NIE churns out, it's singaporean. Why do so many simpleminded people think I'm being too critical of what singaporeans generally accept and try to make me more singaporean than I am? Maybe I'm taking you guys a little too seriously. Yes Singhau knows he is a VERY SERIOUS person. Singhau may also be very odd person one leh. I just don't accept everything I'm fed with and may vomit a bit when my stomach thinks it's not good for me, especially the image of typical singaporeans.
No it doesn't mean that I don't like you lovely people at all. I simply mean that I don't always see the need or pragmatism of being carved into other images. No, Singhau probably loves all of you deep in his heart. He's just a little different I guess.
What a wierd wierd post. Singhau never posted such weird things here before.
Just too wierd.
No, delete it. I swear its good.
Singhau enough enough gou le
-.-''
Hahahahaha just for pure randomness. Fear not. Singhau is also known as crazy to many ppl.

A long-overdue entry about my new life in cj.
Summary: It's a million times better than PHS. And yet at the same time a lot more.
Girls are aggressive here. I think it's due to us being largely from all-boys and all-girls schools, so the sudden shock of sharing much more classroom time with the opposite...hmmm how should i put it...nevermind. Some examples to illustrate this is that they often ask who we boys like (I'm not an exception at all), who we think looks pretty. My answer was "not my taste". So what's my taste, my class girls asked, and i answered "undefined'' and that set them off laughing. BGRs crushes and infatuations seem to be bread and butter of their talk every week.
Another slightly more aggressive instance was just yesterday...the entire school ended at one and we were all supposed to be at MacRitchie Reservoir for cross-country, so we had some time to slack. I left the classroom for a brief while, and when I came back, our more gungho girls were outside of class waiting for me...they were trying to deceive me into getting locked in the classroom with the whole bunch of them. They tried to drag me inside but failed in the end...turns out that they were all playing truth or dare, asking that genre of issues...and one of the twins was dared/forced to hug a man. In the end they were all crazy and someone else became their victim. Not me. They were like saying "Singhau can you come in and help us with the projector?" Afterschool some more. Like I can be duped into that so easily. Some of our class boys have even started developing affections (why is singhau so elaborate?) for particular girls in my class, though they deny it, constant observation and irritation/rubbing it in will make them show obvious signs, like overreacting at the girl's name, etc. Hahahaha I however am immune. So far. Because I have higher priorities than such things.
CJ is also a school crazy about frisbee. You can see people playing ultimate frisbee in the parade square every day afterschool. They're very into it.
Homework's a bit hard to handle, so whenever I can I do it in our nice school library, where there are many tables, enough for about 200 to seat themselves comfortably. It's a very conducive place too. Though their collection is small and just limited to textbooks and some literature texts, it's still fine enough. The only thing that amuses me a little is that the library has their own 10 commandments. It's like telling me 10 of them passed down by God's own mouth isn't enough for them and they need to create another 10 themselves.
CJ's tolerance of other religions is also a lot better than PHS. The principal brother paul is one of the best I have ever rated. Our school song is also very short, less than 8 lines long.
Mass PE is a little more disturbing but all the more a worthwhile part of CJ life. A typical session is started off with us running around the entire school twice...its like triple the size of phs parameters. On the first day we had to get through the gate within 12 min (a K.O. pace as its equivalent to 14min for 2.4km which is a gold...for girls). I didn't make it, so we had to run another 3 rounds later into recess not as a punishment but a "nourishment". It's all run a little like military camp. Then we had to do 20 push ups, 20 situps, 20 full jumpingjacks then 20 burpees (shout for every move 'one (down) two (leg out) three(leg in) WONDERFUL(JUMP)). When we were all done we had to shout and respond to our PE teachers questions...
PE:HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
US:WONDERFUL!
PE:HOW MANY MORE?
US:MANY MANY MORE!
PE:HOW FAR?
US:ALL THE WAY!
PE:ANY SWEAT?
US:NO SWEAT!
And we do the entire exercise process another 2 times. No sweat when we were all making puddles on the floor. Subsequent mass PEs we had to incorporate diamond pushups (INDEX TO INDEX PALM TO PALM) and spider pushups (HANDS AND FEET ONE METRE APART) . My whole body aches like hell, my left knee old injury is very bad. Need to get it X-rayed.

APHRODITES ARE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???
RED HOT!!!
APHRODITES ARE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???
RED HOT!!!
APHRODITES ARE R-E-D WITH A LITTLE BIT OF H-O-T
RED HOT
RED HOT
RED HOT OH YEAH RED HOT!!!!
Yes, our house won the best house award out of six houses.
Today my class dominated the games at Telok Blangah, losing only once, though we started our way slow. We had to pick our way through some simple clues to head to several places there to play simple, non-dirty games.
After lunch we had quite a long break, but most of it was used to prepare for our finale. The afros all had red cupid hearts and arrows painted on their faces. Guys and girls alike got red slips of cloth to wear as bandannas, headbands, or on their hair. Some also hairsprayed their hair red or wore red 'tiaras' all in the name of Aphrodite.
Finale started at 4pm when all 6 houses were at a mega high with roof-shaking cheers and screams of excitement. Each house performed a skit and finished the play that started on monday, the first day of orientation. All were exciting and in some cases, boys were really gay...girls real bitchy...omygosh. Our skit may not have been the best (that goes to Apollo house), and I thought we may not be able to outcheer the other houses' sophisticated cheers. But we won anyway...and we all had the very finale of finales: the mass dance.
We didn't stick to our dance partners. Some poor fellow boys encountered girls all too unwilling to dance, or all taken...I was nearly one of them had I not went straight to the back of the audi hall. There there were peeps who either didn't want to dance, feel too shy to, or simply can't get a dance partner and hence shall not stick out as a sore thumb in a sea of dancing, crazy people. There I met a girl from Zeus and in 26 and...singhau has never done such a thing before...asked her to dance, which she obliged and thanked me for later on for letting her have fun after the mass dance ended.
After finale and camwhoring, at seven plus, 10 of our IG16 people met up and took a bus to orchard road. We had Japanese dinner at the Grand Cathay, my meal cost 9.60 and total cost for all of us was 120.00 including GST. The others had mostly sushi...99 cents per dish...I had just a coke costing 1.60 and a ebi don costing 8.00, which was more worth than sushi. Our big Indian friend provided much entertainment cracking jokes...while we waited half an hour to get a table for ten he cracked a damn funny joke involving dim sum which he also told the young waitress asking how many people we were dining with...making her laugh so much and brighten her dull job. What a great guy, later during dinner we laughed so darn hard listening to him. I also talked and found similar interests with one of our member who I hadn't interacted much with other than just share the cheer sheet once. Great night, I came home at 11 plus.
Soooooooo tired.
So far it seems that it feels easy to be at home with just about anyone in CJ, like a big giant family. Everyone around me in CJ seems so friendly and warm, warmer than PHS. Maybe I'll enjoy my 2 years here.
On Monday I will report in full uniform.

6 Feb 2009
Ahhh my legs feel dislocated.
Yesterday I wore my only pair of PE attire so in the end I couldn't wear it for today...so today amongst the great sea of blue people in CJC there was just one big fat carrot roving around. It's the old choir tee...
Today we were split into classes and I was the only peep from IG16 to end up in 1T27. Good that I got the combination I wanted. This class is dominated by 16 girls versus a mere 8 boys...one boy's called Chris and looks Eurasian...and great guys called Jason and Leong Jie...a pair of malay twins with similar names I can't recall...a extroverted SC girl called Gwen and so many more...
We all started rather slow but very quickly warmed up and became really united and great friends with each other starting at the name wacko game. We were just as great or even faster to socialise than old 3/4Faith...people in my class are more entu and gung ho than IG16. Lol we dominated the day's many games and challenges...we won almost all the games and never lost, only drawing twice...what a nice first bonding session as a class. Our home tutor/form teacher is called Ms Lynette LaBrooy, and it seems that she's quite good and influential, so things look good so far. She'll teach GP and her English seems normal. So far. I taught them the Everybody Dance Now cheer, modified to become a class cheer we had yet to use (we used twentyseven oi and two-seven dynamite). Singhau never seemed so entu before...this better not kill his English standards.
Can't wait for tomorrow, when we'll have our Mt Faber trip and finale night. I hear that its going to be held in a function room in our school that has a disco ball...and since the house skits have to be disco-themed I guess it's gonna be a SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!!!
So I'm enjoying CJ lots. Let's see how it ends next year.
GO AFRO!!!

5 Feb 2009
Whoah I'm kinda exhausted after dragonboating yesterday. But today we still had some nasty games that took quite a bit out of my legs.
In the morning I met Eugene from 4E in school. We talked a bit and then his first day was spent in Kallang...poor guy had no idea that he needed to bring new clothes.
First up on the menu was a mass game in the field consisting of several stations. First station was the 'armpit game' where you had to take two wet sponge balls, one under your armpit and the other between the knees and hop over to a bucket and fill the buckets with water. Everyone in the group must do it to fill the bucket to a certain marker. Next was to get everyone to roll almost 10m on the ground, sideways and get really muddy. I was first to finish rolling the distance, but then came the hard part - we all 23 ppl had to form a human caterpillar by bracing our legs against the peep in front of us (boy girl alternating) and then heave the entire caterpillar across another 10m, by then everyone was so drained and dizzy from rolling. After that we had to all wet our hair and lather it in shampoo then use our bubbles and foam formed to lather a guy from top to toe, then frogleap towards a flag, spin round the flag 10 times, do 5 jumping jacks then use your mouths to find a bean in a pile of cornstarch. Then we had to run over to the giant staircase about 4 storeys high one by one, climb it fast, take a bite out of a huge slice of watermelon and then run down, and this goes on till the facils can't see anymore red on the watermelon. Our group IG 16 came second out of 5 groups. By then we were all muddy, shampooey and dead exhausted.
After washup and lunch, we went for mass dance session again, where we finally finished the dance steps. I discovered that my dance partner is vietnamese (!!!), she's going biochem and lit, I'm going biochem and econs.
After the dance, which was like 2 plus, we all finished learning all our team cheers (whoops, NOTE: all index groups or IGs are separated into houses, each named after a greek god or godess. I'm in aphrodite...godess of love...-_-'') played games or slacked til 3 plus before final announcements and then dismissal.
Tomorow we will go to that 4km bridge trail near Vivocity and play more games, IF I end up in a class that's going to do so tomorow. We will know our allocated classes tomorow and all activities will sync with them...sigh I like the IG 16 peeps...impossible for all of us to end up in the same class...
