It's 12.16am. Let me tell you why I am awake. Firstly, I just had choir practise. Like, seriously, just. I just bathed, and it was immediately after I came home. And you see, once I bath, no matter how sleepy I am, I usually wake right up. I hope that my restlessness kicks in and I fall asleep before 3am. Or else I'll be such a zombie tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm awake because of PW! Aren't I a wonderful, hardworking, conscientious student? (Haha, yah right.) I'm like, sending stuff to Jean now, and then I'm going to do the interview analysis and all that shit. Shit lah, PW is like taking up so much time and I feel like I'm not doing anything at all! Grr, argh.

Then, then, then! I need to tell you about Chemistry! You see, I actually like the smell of the photocopying shop. You see, I used to hate it. Seriously, hate it. Then one day, I opened the door, and took a whiff, and I said to my friend - ZOMG! THE SMELL IS LIKE NICE TODAY! Apparently, no one else thought so. Maybe they changed their toner brand or something lah. Since then, I've been making excuses to take a whiff. I mean, people will look at me funny if I open the door, take a DEEP breath and close the door right? :)

THEN TODAY! CHEMISTRY LECTURE! I learnt many, many things. FIRST, the lecturer was talking about free radicals and how it is cancerous and stuff. And he was like, so where is the highest concentration of free radicals? And Mugger!Mark said PHOTOCOPYING SHOP. Turns out she was right! (And the lecturer even LED ME ON by suggesting physics lab lah). I was like, SHIT LAH NO WONDER I'M GROWING OLD. SEE MY WRINKLES AND SAGGING SKIN? And then! he was going on about how free radicals are ANTI-AGING. And I was like haha, okay, maybe that's not the reason. And I was thinking instead of buying all those expensive creams, I should just go take a whiff every day. (Okay, Elliot's right, I do sound like a drug addict.) Then he said it DEGENERATES THE BRAIN!

ARGH. I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUNG LOOKING AND STUPID!!! No WONDER I've become more bimbotic since coming to VJ!! IT'S ALL IN THE SMELL!!!!!!!!!!!

ZOMG! JEAN IS ONLINE! Isn't she supposed to be like, sleeping? Or shitting or something? Haha...

yes, snapshots of our bee-u-tiful thighs will soon be splashed across the Newpaper's front page. but those are nothing.. nothing as sensational as these. (:

while we were toiling over Senseless Integration whilst finding the ideal sleeping position (so as not to draw attention to ourselves when the dreaded table falls over yet again), look who's frolicking over at the Land of Kimchi.

our dear Lil Tan Kah Khee's picking up chicks!

Just look at Mr. Popular's smirk! Heavenly eh? ^^

oh, whatever will ms roshni say???
-wags finger and frowns disapprovingly-

prakash, white korean drum souvenirs? are u sure that's all you brought back?? :D

the source provider has since prepared his ball guards.

hello i'm back on Sindhu's orders to blog about today but hmmm since i was half asleep, hopefully some1 else will fill this space i shall try my best anyway. oh another thing, prakz actually wanted to post on mon but somehow he saved it as a draft and forgot about it so i helped him. haha. THIS IS GONNA BE A SUPER LONG POST SO SCROLL DOWN FOR TODAY'S HAPPENINGS

THURSDAY(20th July)

this was the day we received our gp paper and i was quite nervous since i did quite badly. shant elaborate. but it turned out that i did quite well. yay!!! HOWEVER, this is not the main event. later that evening, sindhu and her friends were taking part in the annual inter-school a cappella competition at the esplanade. vincent, yuru, jolie and me went down. hmmm we met at 6.30 at city hall mrt station and guess what.. vincent was wearing a bright orange polo t-shirt. later after eating dinner at subway we proceeded to the esplanade.

on the way there, yuru was like "VINCENT!! you look super uncle leh"
he replied in his suddenly super high voice "where got!!! like this very uncle meh?"
Jolie/Yuru/me(not too sure) said " try folding up your collar, maybe not so uncle."

and guess what he did!!!! omg.. after that he was like " do i look cool???" and strutted down the street waving his hand at the drivers. we were all dying of laughter. best thing is that when we told him that the drivers were staring at him as though he is insane, he was like "no what. where got?" and he waved again. OMG man. some people know no shame but people like him.. haix have no shame. we all about to disown him. haha.

anyway when we got there it was alr super crowded. loads of pple were there. the competiton had alr started with the secondary division first. no comments there but when it got to the college division. woah man... totally different feel. they were much more lively and entertaining. Vibr8 did very well as expected with their super good vocals but it sort of lacked entertainment value compared to the defending champions and the first runner-up. they were from NUS so what can one say.. more experience at having done it lots of times so i guess VJ can only can get better. Keep it up ppl!!!

Thursday(27 July)

ok today now... well econs--blank--history--blank.. i'm H1!!!! then gp.. well the other groups presented today and siswand amazed us with his genius again quoting from his experience from Temasek Sem the day before and pointed out a lot more on gender equality as to why women do not need to do NS. "its because there is no need for them to serve yet" yeah. alvin was relegated the sex part of the presentation.. hmmm no comments.. everyone was there.. and in Chemistry lecture today.. hahaha Mr Lim was going on about the free radicals and ozone and Sindhu was going "OMG!!!" as te facts hit her like a brick.

ahem it started with him saying something about the photocopying shop smell and how it can leads to aging. "OMG" from Sindhu, " i always go there to take a sniff" sounds very much like a drug addict. haha then he said ozone 03 is good for your skin but it breaks into free radicals which is harmful. "NO WAY" by sindhu again. it was hilarious la. i cant remember anymore cos i was half asleep before Sindhu ordered me to blog. but here is what i can remember.

later for pw, most of us stayed in class and whipped out our laptops and busily pored over it. then andreas started playing music over the pa system and soon everyone were choosing songs.. apparently coldplay was the most popular artist. yup anyway since the slack society was disbanded for the greater good of being promoted, the now study club has started and everyone is welcome to join. Meetings are on Mons after chem pract and on thurs after pq. most of the guys are in and some of the girls too.. but since ppl like nasrul brought cards, we were unable to concentrate. so i suggest as the one who needs the most help in the group, NO CARDS DURING STUDY PERIODS which is from 2.30 to 4.30. then we can play before med soc. oh yes speaking about med soc, zamir was a bit depressed cos ms chua wasnt there. we all had fun taking our blood pressures and siswand set the record of having the lowest pressure recorded 13!!!!!!!!1 before an error was registered. haha we all had so much fun. we also had free coffee and gatorate drink. not bad and we even had some brokeback scenes in which me and nas drank the whole bottle of gatorate together.

yup that's about all.. hmmm i guess its a bit too long a post but well too bad its there, hopefully i'm not asked to post anymore... i take up too much space. haha

Hey guys,prakz here
The past week had been a roller coaster ride for me and i had no time to post.So now with the exhibition coming to a close and my holiday in korea coming ending,i have woken up early to post.
So i basically went to korea for this inventors exhibition because i won the young iventors award(tyco la).The prospect of skipping lessons for one week was jus great and to top it off the entire trip was sponsered by korea,even the city tour and a trip to a theme park was sponsered(are they out of thier mind).The problem was that at the last minute i found out the travel agency never apply for my visa,so on monday i took taxi and rushed to the korean embassy.To my utmost shock i found that it was closed,it was the Korean national day,of all 365 days it had to be that day.So i rushed back to school for bio pract(which i obviously screwed up).
So on tuesday i went to the embassy again(before they even open),then the korean guy like refused to give me isa and asked for my bank book and leter

Hello peeps... :)

It's me again... your beloved almond nut is here once again... :P (Joking Joking....) Haha... anyway, i m here blogging by the command of our dear class blog rep, Sindhu... Actually, there's nothing much to talk about today though... Not as impactful as i thought it will be... Nvm, i shall try recalling some events today...

Hmm... Got it! Shall talk about the things happening at LT5 before bio lecture ba...

When i entered into the LT with bird, half of our class is actually there already, if u minus off the number of people going for chinese listening comprehension. (And to think that bird was telling me that it was so early to go to the LT, in the canteen... guess everybody just doesnt know where to go??!! Haha...)

After which, i settled down and found myself a comfortable seat for bio lecture. Then, for the rest of the time prior to lecture, i was watching the guys in our class, ie siswand, nasrul, zhiwei and zamir, playing cards... after knowing that i have failed my econs test... no mood to study... ahem...

Then afterway while these guys are playing their bridge, siswand and nasrul will make all kinds of funny sounds... as in they will speak in this high pitched voice that you cant help laughing if you hear them ba. But the funniest part is still yet to come...

After the guys stop playing bridge and one round of taiti (is this how u spell it??!!), nasrul decided to engage himself with first zhiwei and later taufiq in a war of......... arm wrestling!!!

It was damn funny ok... especially the fight between taufiq and nasrul. In the first round, nasrul won the match with a breeze. Then in the second and final round, both of them were declared tied... (officially declared by nasrul...) Those who have missed it really missed this funny 'event' la... On one hand while taufiq tries to use all his might to defeat nasrul, nasrul was there hanging on to it... while making "funny" complaints like "Stop bending my wrist la, taufiq"; "Don't use your body weight to defeat me la you"... Those who were seriously watching them ( that includes me!) were like laughing all the way through the match... till our face hurts a little... hahahahahahaahahahaha.....

In the end, the match end up as a draw because nasrul wasnt really happy about the fact that the tables in the LTs were not suitable for arm wrestling... He almost wanted taufiq to go down the lecturer's desk to continue the fight!! haha....

Hahaha... Guess i talked too much alr... shall stop here for today then... all the best 06S32 for the days ahead.... And i dunno if it's true... but elliot says that the bio test is this coming monday with 2 structured questions... And all the best for your Korea trip, Prakash and bring us some nice Korean stuffs back....

Almond nut signing off....

JOLIE SAYS:

EVERYBODY, DRINK UP!
to the ignorant few that are completely oblivious, a goodwill, non-profit organisation has been set up. WC. (Water Club)

under the surveillance of our high water potential leader, sindhu, every exclusive waterholic has to down water every 20 minutes! not just any amount.. 2 GULPS. (this will be confirmed by the movement of your adam's apple. you can't cheat.)

we are a disciplined group. whoever fails to drink up during the stipulated water breaks will receive one fat red star. and if u get 3 fat red stars, you will be severely punished. (do u have any idea that ure water potential is now lower, and the water molecules in MY water-pumped body is now osmosing to the desert remains of YOUR body, you selfish free rider!)

PUNISHMENT: the unworthy one will have to fill up everybody's water bottles for a week.

and we don't care if you're bursting. there is a reason why our club is named after the toilets.

by the end of our 8-cups-a-day, we will emerge significantly lighter (since ironically, drinking up reduces water retention), more radiant, more eloquent (ok, just more saliva) and er, bouncier.

i'm sure u're dying to join. we're an exclusive club mind you. please pick up a water-proof application form (so no water will be lost during contact) and try-outs will be arranged.

on account that we're fellow classmates, i'll give u a sneak preview. water made me a softie :D

Task One:
complete 100 MCQs on Osmosis.

Task Two:
You will be given unlabelled cups of water from various sources.
Voda Voda, Evian, Ice Mountain, V Block 2nd floor's water cooler, water cooler next to sink at back of canteen and the Koi Pond.

As a waterholic, you should have no problems differentiating them.

Task Three:
prepare a 5-course meal with Water as the main ingredient. it has to satisfy the nutritional requirements of the Food Pyramid. please provide your own spices.

Water Works Wonders!

Our Little Trip to Toa Payoh, * literally it means “the old longkang” in malay

Harlo! K, its now my turn to blogg, after all the sindhu’s nagging. Best of all, I got the eve of our second EoM submission day to do this…haha fine.. kk niwae I shall talk abt last sat nite’s trip with members of the brotherhood to toa payoh eng wah to catch the swashbuckling pirates 2. so here it goes, that sat afternoon itself, prakz was feeling damn generous. He gave us a call n sort of organized a movie outing with seven of us, me, zamir, nas, fiq, andrea n Krishnan. So we all set la, I mean who wudn sia, prakz treatin us le! He won some cash money from the tan kah kee thingy la.

The plan was like this, prakz called to book the backseat tickets n eng wah said u all muz come 45 mins b4 movie starts to collect the tix. Movie was at 730. I met him at his place there at 6 and took the bus straight to toa payoh. We spent quite some time looking for the cinema n tadah! guess its all fated, we picked the tickets at 7 pm, 15 mins late. The lady said we r left with only the seven seats on the second row…so sad la but what to do…no choice la n we juz grabbed those tix. Total was abt $66.50

Then we still have like .5 hour b4 movie starts. So we went to McD to have something light. I ate choc sundae, the rest ate burgers, zamir ate strawberry sundae n our ever-hungry nasrul miraculously decided to skip the eating opportunity. Dunno whats gone into him la. I must highlight he was all too quiet thru out the trip, very atypical of him.
I asked him, ‘ y u so depressed huh? Md yrs izzit?’ he said No. ok fine, so I asked a second time, ‘ then is it the floorball u r not satisfied with?’ the answer was the same as b4. at this very juncture, I think I can REASONABLY conclude that he must have been depressed coz of a gerl. I mean, if its not Md Yrs nor flooball competition, what else can potentially make our ever cheerful fren here so depressed? I strongly believe my theory is well supported by rigorous logical treatments. Haha

The movie was nice, shud really not miss it…worth the money as it’s 2 hr plus. Basically that’s all I can say coz I dun wanna destroy the surprise for those who have not watched. To be hypocritical, I just wanna point one strange part in the movie : at the end, captain Barbossa is ALIVE!!! Wth! Hes supposed to be dead, shot dead in pirates 1!... geez, I hope I didn spoil the surprise for some of u wahaha

Movie ended at abt 10 n we had to ruch coz the fiq gotto be back by 11. he told us he came back just on time when the guard was locking the door haha. Yeah, that’s abt it la for our little trip to toa payoh…I mean what else do u want? It was already 11 pm…

Penning his memories,
Wan

DONUT SPEAKS.

Okay, so I was supposed to update all about Thursday. Which I will, after I make this very brief announcement. OHMYGAWD JC WORK IS SOOO MUCH!!! In one semester, for half a subject (H1 History alone), I managed to fill an entire file. So much so, I can't fill it up anymore. And this is not the plastic file but a standard size ring file. It's how much we cover for one entire subject for two entire O-Level years! We are all so screwed for A Levels, I tell you.

(I'm sure some of you have realized this, but I only filed up all my History stuff today. It's my study-after-exams plan. Very smart, huh.)

So Thursday! No idea what the Econs people did, but we H2 History people watched a video about the Japanese and how they raped, tortured and generally maimed people in China. There were naked body parts. I am emotionally scarred.

Then, it was GP! But since our teacher had told us she wasn't coming, we were supposed to work on our GP project. But Bird, since she didn't have any lessons for the first four periods, had smartly come to school late so we didn't have the guidelines. And, after a fruitless discussion, Elliot and I did PW. IT'S TAKING OVER MY LIFE I SWEAR. I CAN'T WAIT FOR PW TO END! END I SAY!!!

Then it was a Chem lecture (was that the one where more than half the lecture theatre kept dozing off? Or was that the one where I oh-so-smartly sat on a very broken chair and broke it further? Oh, maybe that's the same lecture. See Chesty for pictures. ^_^)

And, I was DYING by then, and it was time for BREAK! My favourite lesson of the day, smartly used for multitasking with activities such as dunking (although dunking primetime is some other time), eating (very, very important to provide our bodies with energy to do brainwork!) and frantically doing homework (although, I haven't seen anyone do this). Oh, I forgot all about bridge. :) But I don't think we played bridge that day. Did we? No, we didn't. We never do, because we're good students who never do that kind of stuff. Muahahahahahaha!

Omg, this is such a long entry. We had stupid MT next (well, at least the MT people) where I once again competed with Praks for the role of TOP MT STUDENT! (Lol. I also told him that if I ever beat him for an exam, he's getting lunch from me. Yes, the very broke me. So you see the probability of that ever happening is like, slim-to-none. For those who don't know, Praks is the TOP TAMIL STUDENT in our year, the only one to get an A1 for Tamil, and a student who won some D&T thing and is going to KOREA this week for INTERNATIONAL competition. He's supposed to update about that...)

For PW, my group had a not-so-top-secret interview with Miss Chan. Then it was PRACTICAL!

OMG. PRACTICAL! We were HEATING TEST-TUBES and I was so afraid that it would explode and the glass would fly into my eye and blood would drip onto the bunsen burner flame, giving it fuel and setting fire to the entire lab and burning it down and killing my entire class.

Needless to say, that didn't happen.

JOLIE says:

alright! the last post is dated exactly one month back!
looks like our Blogging Monitress, Bhaarrati Naidu's, not doing her job. (:

the past 5 days must have been the highlight of siswand's life: post-exams.
2 papers thus far: biology and chemistry.
as a whole, our class did pretty badly. but of course there will always be the annoying ones who choose to make everyone else's lives miserable with their 20-30 marks lead.

Siswand and Zhiwei.

come on everyone, let's recall the mornings before the papers.

everyone is bent over their notes (with capacity full brains on 'Insert and Compress' mode), as zhiwei skips along.

he exclaims, "muggers!!" and snatches notes away.
convinced that there's still a cerebral inch available, typical mugger's arms shoot out n frantically reach for notes whilst cursing said annoyer.
annoyer: give up. stop studying! no use...
(repeat process 25x)

the thing was, as he was going around calling everyone muggers and snatching ppl's notes, his other hand was armed with the white sheets too!

oh, and let's not forget siswand who finished revision for chem n bio by week 2!

during tutorials, ms chua was announcing the bio results as one by one, heads drooped instantaneously after each mark. ~~everyone~~ most of us were straining our ears, praying that ms chua would start her word with "ffffifty...".
zhiwei was last.
"Zhiwei.... 71" everyone shoots thong dagger glares.
"im sorry!! zhiwei, 74" everyone throws paper balls at him.
HAHAHA.

the worst was bio mcq. when announced that he had 27/30, agitated sindhu pushed him, and skinny lil chopsticks toppled over with his chair! -guffaws-

for all the other normal beings, we are officially the class with the highest potential to emerge the Most Improved Class for promos! :D

-> start doing your tutorials and display them with pride as mrs chuah comes around checking!
-> wipe off that 'huh? don't pick me' expression n let's see who has the fastest reaction time during our shoot-up-your-hands-in-the-air competition when mr tay asks the question for the 57th time.
-> its time to begin memorising ms chua's extension number since u'll be jamming those numbers 10 times a day.

by the end of the year, we can finally adopt
Siswand's Grading System.

70%: are u doing your TYS justice???!

80%: who are u kidding?

99%: can do better.

100%: good. now go ask the marker, how u can make your hundred, a quality one.

*note that it does not cater for results below 70. its just out of the question.

:D:D:D

And to Add On To The Spirit of Muggerdom!
by SINDHU!

Muahahahaha, part of our not-so-secret plans for being the Most Improved Class (or Operation M.I.C, haha sounds like M.I 3) is DOING ALL YOUR HOMEWORK. That's right, stop sleeping and watching ~~pirated~~ DVDs of Brokeback Mountain... DO YOUR HOMEWORK! And, your friendly neighbourhood... uh... person... has taken down ALL the homework that we have to do this weekend! Did you think that we had no homework to do? THINK AGAIN! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

GP: Globalization reading - I presume we're meant to understand it as well. :)
MT: We Tamil people have a composition to write. What about you Malay and Chinese people?
PW: Oh, please, I'm doing PW every day now.
Bio: Do your Protein Synthesis tutorial! Unless ~~you're Siswand and~~ you've done it before the hols. :)
Chem: Time to whip out the incomplete Introduction to Orgy Chem notes and do your tutorial!
Math: Do your Functions tutorial!
Econs: No idea, man.
History: NOTHING! NYAH NYAH NYAH!

You have to finish ALL YOUR HOMEWORK BY TODAY so you can START MUGGING FOR PROMOS!!!!
(Yes, I am kidding. But not about the homework. :))
