abt myself
Me? A pretty talkative person, haha!! I love playing computer games, particularly because I love cars. I am not a very good subject opener when I'm in conversation, so basically when you talk to me, there'll be some moment in silence, and a few seconds later, I'd talk about absolutely nothing in common that we just spooke, haha!! That's why I'm a boring person, if I get to describe one of my attributes. My English ain't that great either, so that's probably one of the main reason... =P
[To all my indo peeps (others can read as well.. Hope u guys can understand too, heh!)

FANTASTIC!! =)
Whoo!! What a week..
First off, Graduation Service! PHEW!! Managed to play the songs successfully in front of the, well, rather, sleepy, audience. But the pressure was there though, my first time playing in the recital hall. I did screw up in Power of Your Love, but thankfully the drums and base backed it up (THX Kev & Marc!). We took some pictures before and after the event itself. The disc, from Inez, is still with Marcus. I'll post some pictures once I get 'em all. But in the meantime some of it has been posted in Marcus' blog. Check 'em out! Click HERE. =)
After school on that day we had Jacq's birthday celebration. It was fun!! We ate pizza and cake, and put whipped cream on teachers' faces whom we gave the cake to, LOL! Then the fun part: Stuffing pizza down Jordan's clothes, LOL!! Whoo!! Haha!! Happy 16th birthday Jacq! Ferry did a great job in organizing this. Kudos to you and to the rest who were involved! =)
Yesterday we had our Prelims Sciences practical exams. Boy were they tough. For Chemistry I screwed up 'cuz I used up the solid which was needed to be filtrated for the next task in QA. But I forgot to do a procedure before filtrating the solid, and the solid goes to waste. Another sample of the solid costed a deduction of 2 marks. So I didn't want to waste my time, so I just proceeded. For titration, I did pretty OK, except for the minor spillage of the potassium permanganate due to the lousiness of the burette. Calculations, don't ask. -_-
For Physics, the first experiment went alright. But for the second one, dealing with pendulum, is such a chore! Made me so sleepy during the experiment to have to watch over the oscillations of the pendullum. I didn't really understand what to do for the graph, and time was running out. So I just skipped it. Besides, experiment 1 had more marks anyway. =)
=====================================================================================
As for TODAY, it was GREAT JOLLY FUN!!!!
Today is Teachers' day celebration. Things started off in the morning when I was supposedly asked to meet Isaac at 8.30 in the morning at CCK to go to school together. He needed to take his History test, and I need to submit my Maths file. So, called up Isaac if he was ready, turns out he hasn't, and in the end we met up at 9.40 instead, LOL!!! After reaching school, met up with Tasha and Lyana. While Tash and Isaac were doing their test, Lyana and I went to TTC. She companied me for breakfast (how sweet right? LOL!! THX Lyy!). Anyways, we chatted about Singapore Idol. Quite funny actually, some of her stories, LOL!! Anyways, after breakfast met up with Tash and Isaac again, check on their test progress. Alan dropped by. Both Tash and Isaac were so distracted by their phone that they took 2 hours plus to complete the test, LOL!! We skipped the celebration 'cuz we thought it was actually kinda boring, considering the amount of people who left even before the celebration had begun.
At about noon, we left for KAP to meet up with Marcus at Mac's to study. Oh man, the place was sooooooooooo packed!! Trying to find seats there was almost as good as trying to find a seat in the bus or train during peak hour. But in the end, we managed to find a suitable spot. We sat, and ate lunch first, then we started studying. Well, won't say that all were studies, we did have some fun though, especially when Isaac, Marcus and Alan are there, things couldn't get any better, LOL!! You guys should know what I'm talking about, especially Marcus, Isaac and Alan, heh! It was fun indeed! Haha! After KAP we went to Mambo Billiards to shoot some game of pool! It was kinda funny that I actually won Isaac twice in a row, 8-ball and 9-ball. I mean, I haven't been playing pool for like so long, and yet this Isaac played pool just last week, so I sensed a little chance giving from him, heh!! Tash and Lyana weren't exactly the pool type, so they went to play 'foosball' in the pool centre, and Marcus & Alan joined in the fun while Isaac and I played pool. Boy did they have fun. They were shouting like mad, and everyone's eyes were on 'em, LOL!!
After pool, we companied Tasha to her bus stop where she heads to Bt. Gombak for her tuition. She was kinda late. Her tuition starts at 6 but she boarded the bus 7 mins BEFORE 6, LOL (Sorrry Tash!!)!! After sending her off, Isaac, Alan and I decided to drop by Marcus' place for dinner. So we took 74 with Lyana along, and we made a stop over at Alan's. It was rather a nice retreat since I haven't been to his place for SOOO long. Isaac managed to meet up with Alice, Alan's sister, heh! Nice job Sac! LOL!! Alan's dog has grown soooo much fatter and cuter!! She can walk on her hind legs now, heh! At about 7.50pm we left for Marcus' place, a few bus stops from Alan's. It was Isaac's first visit to Marc's, and boy did he make a good first impression in front of Marc's family. He was a great entertainer there. Even Marcus' Mum was enjoying his company. It's always fun to have Isaac around. He'll always make you laugh, just like today. OMG, I almost ran outta oxygen, LOL!! At about 9.30 I had to go home, so Marc's Mum lifted us to AMK, where I took a cab with Isaac back home. We had a great talk.. Thanks a lot man!! =)
So, to all the people who were helping and encouraging me today and for this past week, I just wanna say this again, and again, and again: THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE FUN TODAY!!!! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WANNA THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME THROUGH GOOD AND BAD TIMES. I WISHED THAT I COULD GIVE YOU GUYS MORE THAN JUST A THANK YOU, BECAUSE I OWE YOU GUYS ALOT! I'LL REPAY YOU GUYS BACK, I PROMISE. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST, AND IT'S A BLESSING TO HAVE KNOWN YOU ALL!! THANKS AGAIN!! =)
Oh, and HAPPY TEACHERS DAY to all teachers! =)

MAJOR SCREW-UP IN ORALS!!!!!!!!!!!! X_X
ARRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Oh my goodness, I screwed up for the first time in English orals!! I couldn't get my words right 'cuz I was too afraid that I might take a long time to think of what to say for the conversation, so I just went ahead and said the things that were in my head. Picture description, I think I didn't make any sense at all, LOL!! I shan't go further, it's gonna hurt me more.
The day starts off well. Had loads of fun during the first free period. Today was rather funny.. I decided to go home after school at 4, went together with Marcus to Kranji, had lunch at Yew Tee, then got a call from Isaac saying that he wants to play badminton instead. So I came back to school, realising that TTC had taken over the courts, so we ended up playing basketball today. But I had fun though.. Played a couple of strokes of table tennis too! Long time no play..No Geography also for today, so I had a great talk with Lyana and Anna during the first period of the lesson. The next period went to PA room to jam with Marcus. This time he was on the piano, and I came in on the drums. He played the music, and I just followed the beat. Gotta say that the beat matched, and Isaac was there to record it. I'll let you guys listen tomorrow, it was so beautifully played! Marcus just played a song without even knowing what he was playing, but at the same time the piece was so bautifully composed! It's really nice.. :)
Anyways, that's all for today. SFMS Production's this Friday. LAST EVENT!! Phew!! Made it through August!! After this, gotta bia already.. Prelims' in less than a months time. GTG now!! Laterz! =)

Prom night! And a happy birthday to my brother! =)
A BIG SHOUT OUT TO RENDY, MY BROTHER!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)
As for today.. Hmm, today was rather fun! Went to Lot 1 with Isaac and Marcus, ate chendol, then went to arcade to see Isaac's skills @ Initial D. He's good I tell ya.. Haha!! Wanted to get a shirt at Giordano, but I was short of cash (sorry Marcus), and it was on a promotion. Maybe I'll get it this week. The shirt looks nice, and it's quite cheap too! =)
On Sunday, went to Marcus' place to take my stuff back. Chilled at his place for a coupla hours and then left for home. Had a great time there, talked alot, and laughed alot too, heh!! I also managed to watched the mission trip to Thailand Marcus went to. Looks like fun! Oh, and I also met someone on that day. Oooo, she was gorgeous. Well, maybe it's because I haven't seen her in a uniform. Wonder how she looks in her uniform? *cough marcus *cough! =p
Wow.. Hmmm.. I haven't updated in more than a week, LOL!! Sorry.. I've been so busy last week, getting all the Prom stuff ready and all. And prom night was a blast indeed!! Went over to Marcus' place to get prepared the left for Ritz Carlton with Alan together. We fetched him by cab since his house is pretty near Marcus'. Boy was the cab ride costly. The extra surcharge was $7.50, and plus the cab fare itself, it was more than $23!! Oh my gosh, taxi prices has gone nuts!! But back to prom night, yeah.. It went pretty well. Anna looks so stunning in her dress, wearing heels, and Karen was gorgeous! In fact, all the girls there were pretty gorgeous actually, especially one of them!!!!!! Oh my, she looks darn gorgeous!! Also, Ferry caught me by surprise. You'll know what I mean when I show youthe pictures. After prom night, we left for Cine at around midnight to watch Click. We mistook the timing for 1250 when the actual time was 1.40. So we killed time by palying Truth or Dare at BK, LOL!! It's so fun.. Brian, Esther and Scharl joined us for the movie too. Left for home at around 4+, slept around 5, LOL!!!! Anyways! Won't write long.. Pictures speak best! Enjoy! :)

WOHOO!!! Finally got my prom stuff.. I'm all set and ready come this Friday night, heh! Went out to Orchard with Marcus.. He helped me along (with the saleswomen) in getting a pair of matching pants for my coat that I intended to getm and I must say it matches nicely! Thanks people!!
After Orchard went to Marcus' place to see if there're any fitting colored shirt which will match my coat's colour. Well, out of all his massive selection of T-shirts, I found 2. But I'm not gonna take 'em yet though, I'm gonna run through my closet again to see if I can find any. Had my dinner there too. Overall, I had an enjoyable day. =)

SENTOSA CAMP '06! =)
Woohoo!! What a great week it has been. SENTOSA CAMP ROX!!!!! Thank you God!! Thank you.. :)
Well, it was a bit messy on the first day though.. We had to do the logistics and all, plus the co-ordination of the sound system and the hall. It took us about 2 hours plus to get everything ready. Had Burger King for lunch after that. Once the campers are gathered in the hall, it was Singspiration time. Singspiration is like Chapel sessions, just that it's extended. I screwed up abit on the guitaring.. -_- Our bunk was very cozy. We shared together with Viet, Isaac and myself. By right Sherwin was supposed to sleep with us but he wanted to sleep with his classmate, so Alan came and slept in our bunk, though he's not supposed to, but WTH!! ^_^At night we had our first game, The Amazing Race. Gotta say it went pretty well despite some minor glitches. After activities are done on the first day we went out for night walk in the jungle trail. It was so dark!! Pitch black really.. You won't be able to see anything without any source of light. For the first time the moon actually was so bright, haha! We played some truth or dare at night and slept at about 4+. On the second day loads of things happened. We had free time from 2 to 6, so KC, Marcus, Isaac and I decided to go on a Luge Ride. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN, especially with the luge.. I sped like crazy, haha! Heard from the rest smoke came out from my tires when I hit the brakes. That's how fast I went, LOL!! After luge went to Siloso Beach for some fun. Some went to the waters and played "monkey", while Angeline, Viet and myself went for cycling. On the last day it was a bit sad 'cuz we wanted so much more.Here're pictures taken during the 3 days. As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. Enjoy! [Thanks for the pics Marc! Hope to get the rest of the other pics too from others!] =)
Mess once we arrived at our campsite
Final preparations before the campers arrived
Haha! I think this is a funny shot.. Marcus and his long lost brother ^_^
Haha! Viet did the same.. =)
The idea of the hoops linked me to Chemistry all of a sudden. Haha!!
The campers playing tug-o-war on the second day of the camp
My bunk mates (from left): me, Isaac, Viet, Alan and Marcus. Viet's such a nice guy. Low profile and always cheers us up. I'm so glad I got to know him better. =)
The campers. Oh, Karen went for the Alpha camp as an observer as she'll be one of the committee members of the Beta camp. =)
The committees. You should know who we are.. =)
Haha! Another funny picture. How 'bollywood-ish', haha!! Isaac's idea. =p
The girls
Angeline, camp commander, and me
Isaac and Natasha, AKA grandpa and grandma. That's Bart at the back. =)
Tash and I at 7-11 at about 1a.m
At Siloso Beach. Saw plenty of "sunflowers" there too, heh! =)
I think this shot is the funniest of all. It was suppose to be Isaac and Marcus in the picture, but they were oblivious to Viet's butt posing, haha!!
After the camp ended, Alan, Isaac, Marcus and I went to KC's place where we met Laura and Rachel there. It was my first visit to KC's, and his house is GORGEOUS!!! It's veeeeerrrryyyy big. How I wish I have a house like that in Singapore. Now that's what I call luxurious living, haha!! Nice house indeed. And cute pets too. Glad I got to play with Vespa. =)After KC's place we went to Orchard to company Alan cut his hair, after which Alan and I went to look for prom clothes, and both of us found a nice coat which suit us for prom. I hope I get to wear that for prom, haha!! Kc is still struggling to find the shoe which fit his foot size. KC, I hope you'll get a pair soon.. =)
Well, that's about it. Hope to post more pictures once I get 'em all.. I didn't bring my camera along, so sad. All the fun we had at camp was definitely worth the $50. In fact, it's priceless.. You can't buy those moments ever again. It's a blessing to have known the people there, and getting to know my friends even more, really. I'll definitely chrish my time spent there. I wouldn't trade it for anything else. How time flies when you're enjoying ourselves. Thanks for the fun guys! =)
Next event: Prom Night! =)

Phew, been soo lazy to update the blog, haha!! I don't know why.. I always come home from school feeling tired, and because of too many work to do as August's drawing near. It's August now, and time is getting more and more expensive! -_-
Anyways, nothing much to update for this past week that's gonna end. School's a drag, as usual. Sentosa Camp's this Tuesday and I hope everything will turn up well because we spent so much time discussing about everything we need to do. People who haven't signed up, tomorrow's the last day!! Don't miss this chance to get together!! Camp's at $50, and it's a 3 days 2 nights camp. It's gonna be fun!!
Went for Hoohaa yesterday.. It was about friends. Games was fun as usual.. BANDIT!! Haha!! *Inside joke, inside joke, LOL!!! JKJK.. Anyways yesterday also marks the end of the SpeedPlus session at RJC. Garima and Joanna bought us chocloate cakes. Yummy.. I'm gonna miss going to Bishan on Saturday mornings and going to RJC with my closer schoolmates. Thank you Garima, Joanna and the rest of the RJC peeps for taking your time to teach us on Saturdays! All the best in your studies! We'll miss ya! =)
The week after will be Prom Night on 18th, a day after Indonesia's Independance Day. Today went out with KC and Marcus to go look for prom stuff. Marcus bought himself a blazer, pants and shoes. He basically bought everything he needed for the prom within one day. Amazing, heh! I only managed to get a pair of shoes, which are soooooooo comfortable! I am hoping to get my clothes by this week with KC and Marcus 'cuz I don't have much time. I enjoyed the day today.. Thanks guys! =)
Anyways, gotta end here, so much things to do. Haven't packed for the camp yet.. Better get started. Laterz! =)
