Passing Out Parade.

I think I'm like, stupidly posing for pictures all the time hahaha.

Parade Commander Phua Wei Ting. Hahaha.

Mrs Ku my PE Teacher! =D


Throwing Berets. Nicer picture from Ryan is here. =D

Hotshoe! Haha. Lenson was holding the camera up.

Me with Hao Xiang's Mum, or my Brother. Hahaha.

Chuan Hui grabbing food!

Group photos. If I'm not wrong, one from each camera. Haha.

Rest of the pictures including those above on Facebook. Shall blog about Farewell party later. Haha.

Starring Hao Xiang and Me. =D

Room Light.

The light in my room has burnt out.

The light was all fine and dandy with no apparent sign of it's lifespan ending at first, then there were ominous flickers for a few seconds, before a short *fizz* sound. And everything around me became enveloped in darkness.

I guess it was about time, seeing as how the light in my room has been my unfailing companion throughout the past 4 or 5 years, always lighting up when I switch it on without complaints or delays, be it 3am in the Morning or 5pm in the Afternoon. It has always been a permanent fixture in my life, hanging at the ceiling of my room and watching over me.

Maybe it's a timely reminder of how I take many things in life for granted.

Or it's metaphoric with the darkness that I'm going through right now.

It could also be symbolic of the fragility of life, how we all have to fizzle out one day, and how death and darkness can come suddenly without warning.

=/

However, it could just mean that it's time for me to change the light bulb! Thanks for wasting 5 minutes of your time! (Longer if you're a slow reader or spent time wondering if I was suicidal or depressed. Shorter if you just skipped to the end because you got lazy)

Oh yes, my room light did actually fizzle out yesterday. Hahaha. Replaced it with a nice new 3000K light bulb already. =P

Before Passing Out.

Ah I'm really lazy to go blog everything out so shall just summarize the past few days before POP.

Came back from Youth Camp on Friday. Then found on Saturday that I was arrowed to be flag-bearer for POP cause Chee Sheng was going to Thailand. -.- So went to school on Saturday to rehearse. Haha. Forgot like lots of things after not doing drills for 6months+. =S

Took pictures too! Heh. Because Chee Sheng can't make it for POP so we took pictures with him in Full U first hahaha.

Patrick The NPCC Cadet.

SI Koo. Hahaha.

Tried lots of times to take a serious serious picture. But someone ah, cannot stop smiling. -.-


Haha. Sec 3s were preparing for our POP so we asked Frankie to help us take pictures too.

Then went down to Beach Road with Hao Xiang and Wei Kit to buy badges. Saw this cat on the way back.

Hahaha. The cat was stoning there watching us walk past, stop, me taking out my camera, and only moved towards me after I took this picture. =D

Heh. Something stupid happened to Hao Xiang on the bus back at 4.30pm. =O

Kites outside my window. But had to crop extensively since I don't have a super telephoto. =(

Went to play basketball at around midnight with Hao Xiang at Punggol. Abit crazy la, it's like a weekly thing now. Haha. Reached home at around 1am, then woke up at 6am to go send Chee Sheng off at the airport!

Was like half-dead already but we dragged ourselves there okay. Then we went to the viewing mall at terminal 2 and lazed around. Ate Burger King for breakfast, then I went to my Church whilst Hao Xiang went to his. Hahaha. And my family didn't go to Church on that day because they were painting the house and thought I was still in my room sleeping! =S

Had Youth Camp debrief after service, then went back home. Fell asleep on the bus back. In fact, I've been falling asleep on every bus/mrt ride lately. Even when standing. =/

Monday was rehearsal for POP again, this time with the whole unit. Had to get used to the uncomfortable feeling of the flag pocket pouch thingy. Haha. Our school's pouches is like, made of clay unlike the softer cloth ones at NPAP which seems like a zillion years ago already.

Then went for lunch at some random place which I've forgotten, and went back home. Went to Lenson's house in the evening to take the Sunset! Haha. But the sunset wasn't really nice leh. =/

Ah wells. At least got lots of nice looking clouds. =D

The Last Day Of 2008.

I don't think I'll ever catching with blogging before the next year, so I'll just post this first. =)

It's been a rather crazy year I guess. I think this year passed by way too fast for me. It's been a mess of events and camps and all that just mixed up together.

I think I've gotten better at Photoshop. Haha. Think. And I learned a bit of Illustrator this year too, but I've not really touched HTML/Javascript or 3d animation. Learned a lot about sound and mixing and crossfading and flangers and pans and all that awesome dj stuff too.

My camera's been an awesome companion too. Since I first got it in June, and now I've taken like 21000 pictures already. =O

Realised a few days ago that there are lots of people I'd really like to say things too but would never ever say because of so many complicated reasons. Gah. Maybe it's cause I know too much, or I've figured out some stuff on my own, or because I told someone I wouldn't say anything, or whatever. =(

And I still don't know what I want to do in the future, where I want to go and all that. I feel like I'm at exactly the same position I was last year, with the exception of O levels being over. I still don't know what I want, nor do I know why I'm doing some things.

I learned this year that you don't have to be happy to pretend to be happy. =)

Supernova's Light.

Okay my Church Youth Camp was from 16th to 19th December. Haha. Was quite fun and I didn't really feel tired, even though my week before that was rather tiring and I had steamboat buffet the night before. =D

Yay my name tag hahaha.

My group was PEAS!
Debra, Coleman, Wei Ting, Ming Hui, Darren, Jacob, Aaron and the Timothys.

Cedric's slipper has a hole at the side cause a rat ate it! Hahaha I'm being random.

There were lots and lots of cats at the chalet, especially during the barbecue when they were all attracted to the delicious smells in the air heh.

Never mind I still love Snowie! Hahaha. On day 2 we went to Pulau Ubin for a photo scavenger hunt cycling trip! =D Was quite crazy cycling around with a backpack containing my camera and 20 sandwiches. Was afraid my camera would start to smell like ham and cheese with bread but thankfully the zip lock bags holding the sandwiches didn't erupt or anything. =) They ended up quite squashed though. Haha.

Spider!

Cookie Monster! Om nom nom nom nom.

Bottle tree! I didn't come up with this lame notion okay, it was one of the clues for the scavenger hunt.

Another spider! Saw lots of lots of spiders la, haha.

Bus stop by the sea. This place was super windy and cooling. Haha. =D

Now I know where Mr Koh got his theme for our Prom Night from! XD

Di Di Bao.

Spider again! Haha okay I don't have anymore spider pictures already.

Went back to our chalets, then went to the beach for a while.

Aaron trying to eat the shack.

Sea-something thing! I have no idea what it is. Haha.

Crab! We tried looking for a live one but couldn't find. =(

Had barbecue at night. Yay. On the third day was games.

Me getting arrowed by everyone hahaha.

Camera battery died somewhere around this point and I didn't bring a charger. =( But at least there were like 700 pictures. =D

Finale night was awesome too. My group is the best okay. Rock on! Although the song we wrote was quite emo hahaha.

Oh and we went for supper at Changi Village at midnight! Haha. Err... Then walked back through the boardwalk thing. Stayed up for the entire last night playing stupid games like Polar Bear where me and Ming Ren kept getting killed first regardless, and this finger game which is really hard to play cause you need to concentrate alot and it was 3+ in the Morning. And Dai Di which Joe Yong won. Hmph.


Okay! Didn't really post the rest of the photos cause I'll put them on Facebook or something. =)
Anyways, camp was a great experience la, got to meet a number of new people and got to know old people too. Oh and I realised that people think I look like a 21 year old! O.O Time to go buy Absolut and Barcardi! Hahaha.

Random Things.

Went to celebrate Nina's birthday on the 11th with Koon Tat, Denise and Fiona. Watched Wild Child at Shaw Lido. Like almost everyone in the theater were female la, except Koon Tat and me hahaha. We wouldn't have watched if not for Nina lor. The show was okay la, like those very standard kind of movies. I liked the seats in the theater the best. Like, can rock back and forth one. =D

Then we went window shopping around. Haha. Quite stupid la, contemplated going into Forever 21 with Koon Tat but then we just stayed outside cause there was nothing inside to look at anyways. -.- They should have like Forever 20 and Forever 22, so these people would not feel ostracised.

Went for dinner at Kovan. Then took 62 back home.


Went to Punggol End at night on Friday. Quite scary at 2am in the Morning. But the place is quite happening at night one leh. Got people camping around, and fishermen all along the stretch of beach there. Like woah, more crowded than at 9pm or 10pm la. Haha.

Blurry picture. Haha.

This dog was like, sitting in the middle of the road but stood up when the car drove past. =O

Truck drove past my camera. -.-

Stayed there only for like 5 minutes. And already I had 6 or 7 plus mosquito bites. =( But the place is quite cool la, next time must remember to bring mosquito repellent. =D


Spent my entire Saturday designing the Youth Camp booklet. Okay I was quite sidetracked at times, thanks to this stupid invention called the internet. -.-

Sunday was Church, then practising for worship with Rachel and Ming Ren, then Youth Camp meeting then Worship meeting. Haha. And then my sister and I decided to accompany Jolene to go Sheng Shiong and buy Nutella for the camp. Since it's Nutella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, I agreed. Ming Ren came along too.

Walked quite a distance to the supermarket, then on the way back we decided to take some shortcut slope thing and I slipped and fell. Gah. It's the first time I've ever fallen down some stupid muddy slope okay, so it's sort of an achievement for me. Hahahaha.


Went to the Gym and Swimming Pool on Monday with Hao Xiang. Someone forgot his googles, hah. Swam for a while, then went to meet Chee Sheng at Hougang Mall, then two left for Beach road whilst I went to Church to practise with Ming Ren for worship. So hardworking right? Heehee.

Oh and Aaron gave us a free ride to Jericho and back. Hahaha. =D


Went to Bugis station after that for a 1 Integ 06 gathering! It's not really 1 integ cause other people were there too, but the majority of people were from 1 integ la. Ate at the everyday happy steamboat place thing, hahaha.

Played the number guessing game too. Wah. Very stupid la, I went walking to another table when it was going to be my turn, then I walked back just when it was my turn. -.- The dish I ate was horrible. Thanks to Chee Sheng. Blee.


Came up with loads of stupid things haha. Then walked with Chee Sheng and Darren to Little India and took a train back at around 11pm.

Yay I'm going to catch up with blogging soon! Hahaha.
