hcjc homecoming carnival is a shame compared to acjc funorama. the quality of the crowd there was not as bad as i thought, but still not anywhere near acjc's. the music blasted in hc was bad. chinese songs, with chinese dee-jays. acjc chose upbeat songs to get the crowd in the mood. but nevertheless, despite all the above criticisms, i never regretted going. the food in hc was cheaper. of course, yet another encounter with kl made the trip worthy.
quirky mementos:
1. sucking helium gas from a balloon into himself, resulting in a momentarily squeaky voice
2. shooting water (using a portable water gun that only little boys play) at people and still get sighs of adoration
the first glimpse i caught of him was rather awkward and short. i turned over and then away quickly, holding my breath in awe of his adorableness. also, at one point of time, he shouted over to diyan who was behind us so loudly that i was left in shock. on a brighter note, pear and i took on the roles of 'lurking paparazzi'. pear took pictures of him and her photography skills are commendable. she can give sajc photography society president, my bryan tan (who is also my class rep), a run for his money. this is the tenth, but hopefully, not the final encounter before i leave for uk.

before today, many 03s54ers were inquisitive and clueless as to what to expect and gain out of this service learning. for some, even fear overwhelmed them. of course, exhilaration and anticipation is inevitable. we enthusiastically planned lots of activities for the clients of clementi minds. crossing our fingers, we hoped for the best. just as expected, our maiden encounter with them was rather awkward. i could sense an icy cold barrier between the clients and ourselves. this continued until we finally got to interact with them during the colouring and origami sessions, games and performances. the clients grooved and danced happily to the techno music. i abhor this genre. however, being touched by their innocence, i witnessed the class and myself all moving along with them. this beats warming the seats of the lecture halls anytime. i'm glad for such an enriching experience. it's 'servant leaders' in the moulding. gratitude and regards from 03s54 to the darlings of clementi minds!

mrs koh, on how we were conceived: it was a stormy night. a couple was bored and had nothing to do. that magical moment came and ingredients of love were added.
pearline, commenting after mrs koh enlightened us on the genesis of our existence:
'survival of the fittest' applys to fertilisation as well. we are all born winners!
yours truly, after thinking through pearline's philosophy: only the best 'swimmer' gets to the 'finishing line'.
copulation is synonymous with coitus which is synonymous with sexual intercourse.

college and its concomitant stress are unfavourable. but the eye candies just make all the sufferings worth it. my friends commented that i've been mean after watching 'mean girls'. i've been bitching about others a lot. i guess it's a way to destress. another way to unwind is lusting. i opted for it over mugging. it was a satisfying session after a whole week of mutual avoidance. nonetheless, it's a sin. i'm utterly disappointed with my actions. they are not justifiable. for redemption purposes, i sentenced myself to a service to community. community, in this case, is the clementi minds. my class would be popping by with some great programmes lined up for the students. i'm crossing my fingers, hoping that we will not make a fool out of ourselves. if not, it would be difficult to differentiate the 03s54ers from the students of clementi minds. -smirks-

it's not everyday that racial harmony is celebrated. but of course, in a cosmopolitan city like singapore, harmony among the different races and religion is very much appreciated. so what does wearing a traditional costume of another race mean to dr.e.p? 'it's ok. it's rather tight at the pants down there!' what does that mean? only a singaporean would be able to decipher the horrible singlish of his.
having eye contacts has become a history. past admiration has transformed into fear. now, my sidekicks and i resort to going into a state of panic and frantically try to avoid at all cost. apparently, he has not only instill fear in me, but also pearline and siti. although the three of us have been scheming to smile back or stare hard at him, but this has never become a reality. it's our natural reaction to turn or run away.
my dear mixed friend, chua siti ayeshah mohd shafiq (that's one very long name), turns eighteen today. we celebrated it with a lunch at swensens jurong point on friday and ended it with a chocolate-pudding cake. siti's such an adorable girl. one of our foursome she is, having turned eighteen makes her displease. nevertheless, i wish her a happy birthday. i love her lots.

the saints spirit was brought to live again today - sajc's 27th college day. i truly understood the verse 'one heart, one voice uplifting' as i witnessed the whole cohort of saints singing the school song with all their might and cheering with the loudest voice they have. it's so heart warming, like a big family. doc poh was very well dressed as he was presented the school colours award. although his ex-convict hair cut tarnished his refined image, but his smart casual dressing enhanced his charm.
yesterday, i saw kl for the ninth time. this encounter was at hcjc. petrina played a great host as pearline and i visited the chinese mugging city. this sun has made the existence of a rainbow possible in my life. unfortunately, some unwanted dark clouds came into the picture and blocked my rainbow. i was down. but, the wind soon blew the clouds away. i'm bright and cheery again. thanks doc!
happy birthday petrina! it's her birthday today. i'm sure my fellow fun-seeker will enjoy her day to the fullest. legal boozing and clubbing coming her way! i love her and wish her well.

the third term of school has finally, officially started. just when i thought i had time to party on, cruel teachers have been constantly reminding us of our prelims which is in 6 weeks' time. i'm not done with holidays and partying yet. why must they ruin my college life? and doc poh had a horrible haircut. never visit his hairstylist! it almost disfigured him. he looks so different now, like an ex-convict (as pearline calls him). another reason to dread going to school. but, i must be positive and continue to love the up-beat college life. i must treasure whatever time i have left in my dear sajc.
i caught spiderman during the four-day-long weekend. this critically acclaimed blockbuster might be doing well at the box office, but it surely doesn't deserve more than an 'alright' comment from me. euro 2004 finally wrapped up (i'm still suffering from post-euro withdrawal symptoms) with a greek victory. no way. cristiano ronaldo of portugal was weeping. my heart melted. stupid greece. we must boycott the olympics!
anyway, i'm aware that he has been stealing frequent glances. am i happy about that? i don't know myself. i've been rather confuse lately.

town has been my dwelling place for the past two days. it was a great chill out and chatting session with joanna and karen on thursday as we roamed around plaza singapura. lots of ajc people around. that means, no cute guys. i thought orchard would have been a better hang out venue. but it's okay. i had fun nonetheless.
friday was yet another memorable day to be marked down in my diary. another visit from mery to singapore. my sec school clique had tonnes of fun. while we were contemplating over which movie to watch and, at the same time, enjoying the great crowd of jc people at lido, cynthia noted a group of hc boys. we discussed the probability of me meeting kl. then, speaking of the devil, he appeared. i went bonkers and was ecstatic. he was prancing around and that truly made my day. my heart beat was racing. adrenaline was gushing. even the presence of his girl couldn't dampen my spirits. i was much too overwhelmed by happiness to feel down. liang yi informed me that my jumps of excitement caught his attention. who cares? i wasn't - i quote pearline - my 'feminine, demure and steady self' to be rational. we even plotted to use pearline's 'can you lend me your mobile phone?' trick on him. but we couldn't catch another glimpse of him after his 'spiderman' movie. mery and nyuk khim were disappointed to have missed a chance of seeing him in person. petrina was glad to hear news from me that matthew was too at orchard yesterday. she tried looking out for him but to no avail. joanna was jealous that i got to see neil spencer. better luck next time girls! as i'm reminiscing, a grin is growing wider.
