ok..enuf of sap (gosh..i;m sounding like mei) . dunno y too. must be sun;s class gathering. geri and i are gg on a conspiracyt AGAIN!! yay!! lalala*look of innocence* i;m reminescing 2004, from the mehnaz affair, where me and ann ( hu got lost in jurong) and alot of ppl constatnyl visited her, to the extra remedial lessons (mrs chia, mr loh, tty, ..gosh. the chem and maths department in rj is....doesnt mrs chia teach alvl chem?? ASK HER TO TRANSFER TO RJC LAH!I WANT HER!!) , to staying in class to do hw during recess (hu can forget the tuna sandwiches and egg sandwiches), to rushing out at 2 pm sharp for lunch at the 7th store ( i still rmb mon last lesson is phys and wed last lesson is chem prac ok!) to GREASED LIGHTNING!!!

Nicely surmerizes the class com. and i;m super lucki to haf such a class. can u imagine if my clas was liek my og? wher ei;m like..virtually non existant? (i swore not to go for another og outing *shudders*) ok..its not my og fault. i just CARN get along. aniwae...3H rocks!!! lalalala..btw chinnie. my og will just COLLASPE if they know u call me outspoken..and i do act and tok like a gal =( dun i??

6th Feb!!!! Ann!!! i carn wait!! its potluck!! a.k.a. mass poisoning session =)dun sae i din warn u all!! dun touch watever i;m brining!!
1SO3H class com is a real funni affair.
Recall 4C2 Class com meetings.
at least 15 ppl gathered in a large circle, denise desperately crying for attention, suilinn trying to get ppl back on focus, councillers trying to get their views heard, nonchalent subject reps trying to get their maths done without mrs tan noticing, poor maths rep still ticking names of 3 stacks of maths hw, pokets of ppl toking.
Now let me intro you 1SO3H class com:
4 ppl gathering secretly in a corner concoting new conspiracies against the class. (these are the onli 4 ppl in the class that has blogs. coincidence or wat? and 3/4 of us are gals. saes alot abt the guys eh? hehehehheheheh)
Let me describe the movie poster affiar?Hwere we were supposed to find ppl to pose for a movie poster?Obviosly no one wants to volunteer!! and so before axe murderer murders us by making us pose as charlie's angels *puke puke puke* we had better come up with another plan
Suggestions thrown out:
- RA film. Then we can just hand in a blank sheet of black with the words: RA. Censored. across it
- Make a guy put hands in sexy position, make him take off top and take his back view (this one had me laughing throughout lecture)
-Take a orange fat cat and take a pic of him: garfield
-Mean girls: Have the gals taupok each other.
-take the twins and do watever show that involves twins. apprantly thts a sure win method. to have anything to do with twins. since we haf them. explaoit them. right?
-Have trevor show off his muscles.
Anyway, here's the final plan. we ask for 8 male volunteers, and we do ocean;s eleven. Now for the steaming qns. Why do oceans eleven need 8 ppl? don;t they need 11??
Hint: We have 19 boys.
So we ask for 8 volunteers, and obviously no one wants to volunteer. so we volunteer ppl untilwe gathered 8 of them. Then we tell the class that these 8 are OUT. the rest hu DIN volunteer are IN. [insert evil laughter]
*beams around* good? its my idea!! *beams with pride* gosh..i can sae theres no better idea than tht!!..wait. uh oh. do u hear tht war cry. its NOT a tribe of red indians u doofus *hits head with news paper* its the 11 boys comin after me with parangs
anyway..thnx for the complimentary tics june!! reri nice!!! sso was good. i wanna learn violin now. at least this violin concerto doesnt give me a headache. and the soloist was damn good!!! thnx loads!!!!
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

CO seems good.
Ppl were so nice!!!
Keting brought me to CO room lah. And she kindly brought me to see the chairperson, asked ard on wat setion i can join e.t.c. =) thnx loads!!!
Then the seniors were quite nice too. but later than sae lah. so i;m joining the chinese guitar?? was looking all lost and bewildered and awkard at the back of the er hu section when this ij gal just came up to me and asked for my name?? nvm. thing is, she's oso inexperienced and new and everything. so we kinda made frens.
Review of first 15 mins: i got accepted, got a section, keting brought me ard quite well, and i made a fren in the same situation =)
Then tht ij gal went to the section i was supposed to b in to tok to a senoir, and she introed me to the sennior. god. can it be more coincidental? tht gal was a crescent gal. and from 4c2'03!!!!!!!she lent me her intrument and taught me roughly the notes.
Then good ol yixuan came along. and gosh. he;s alwaes so bloody helpful!!taght me more stuff and got me one of those extra zhong ruans and told me wat to do. then went ard with tht ij gal, went to the hall practice tht thing.senor helped me along =)
heehee. Thing is, ppl were looking at me play with odd looks. first of all, i dun play well. and the thing is out of tune to begin with.Then there was the fact tht u dun usually see people playing a chinese lute ard. worst still it was a SOLITARY chinse lute. as in, no other ppl were playing chinese instruments ard? and then theres also the fact tht jazz band, some funniauditions, badminton, fencing, wu shu were ALL having stuff in the hall.
Anyway, onions and chem labs and microscopes must be the bane of my life.
Did i mention why chem labs were hazardous to health? or why they were torture chambers? shall tok abt it next time. i need to go for dinner!!!!

A Thorough Explanation of the Conspiracy Theorm (Something i needed to do since 2003)
Before introducing philosophy for the day, you have to understand Sam's Thoery #1, The mother of alll theories, created in the yr 2003: That the whole world is a conspiracy against you.
To understand Sam's conspiracy theorm, first learn by heart Murphy's Law: WHatever can gowrong will go wrong.
So since i swear by Murphy's law, I came up with the extension of it: The world is an entire conspiracy aginst you.
So from there, we can spin off the meaning of life. What;s the purpose of life? To conspire against you. And what's the purpose of our puny existance? So as to take part in the giant conspiracies working simultaneously against the other few billion inhabitants of our darling Mother Earth.
Examples of the Conspiracy Theorm are:
1) When there are a thousand and 1 buses serving the busstop outside your hous but u can only take ONE.
2)The nearest busstop is a 15 mins walk away nd it only serves ONE bus
3) That one bus takes on an avg of half an hour to come, and that's not al. When you finally give up taking the bus, and decide to walk the 40 mins walk, or call someone else to pick you, TWO BUSES WILL COME IMMEDIATELY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, ONE FOLLOWING EACH OTHER, just when you walked a distacncre from the busstop and its too late to turn back or when you hopped into the car.
Above mentioned is an exmaple of TIBS conspirig against innocnet passengers like us. Hmph.
Then of course there are times when:
4)You feel so bored cos you have no activites lined up the entire week and suddenly all of them fall on the same daay, causing you to haf to skip many and attend one.
5) When there are only 2 categories of guys in your school: So shuai itsunbeleivable or cannot make it, and the only guys u happen to hang out with belong to the lattercategoriy. (This is NOT an exmaple from any school in sg. This is mei's example)
so now you get my conspiracy theorm, for all those to whom i have been preaching it to for the past 2 yrs, i can proceed to the next philosophy.
Ps. HUIMIN! stop wearing out my theorm before i charge you 5 dollars for every usage of it!!
Sam's Effective Guide on Dealing with Crisis Part 1- On the MRT
(Taken from Real life example with help from Geri and Cheryl)
Crisis: Stick radio doesnt work
Solution: Check batteries, rearragne batteries
Crisis: Batteries still don;t work
Solution: Jab at all the buttons and curse "Time" for giving faulty radios at the top of the voice in the MRT to announce the terrible injustice that had been done to Geraldine.
Crisis: No one paid any attention
Solution: Speculate about why "time" gave Geraldine faulty radio (e.g. They liked her and wanted her to call them back)
Crisis: Obviously oral solutions don't help the radio work
Solution: Remove the batteries and PUT THEM PROPERLY IN ORDER accoridng TO THE DIAGRAM instead of just flipping 2 batteries we thought were in the wrong place last time
Crisis*: Batteries had short circuited and were very hot. Geradline touched them unjnowingly and burnt her fingers
Solution: suck the finger and lick it. WHY??? YOU'RE ASKING ME WHY????SO HEAT TRANSFER CAN TAKE PLACE LAH!!! DUN U LEARN SECONDARY SCHOOL SCIENCE?? sheesh.
Crisis: How to remove the batteries?
Solution: Wrap hem of Crescent blouse over the batteries and fold up blouse so as to be able to hold the batteries in them (Talk about respect for Crescent...)
Crisis: HOw to put the batteries back since they're STILL damn hot
Solution: a combination of fingernails, blouse, plastic thingy that was used to cover the battery casing, head phones to lift the batteries up into their proper place and direction(in other words utter clumsiness)
Crisis: Unbeleivably hot batteries fell on the floor
Solution: Use fingers and pick them up and refer to Crisis*
Crisis: Radio can;t stop scannign and we can't get the station we want
Solution: Scream "FAULTY" at "time" again and rant about how we have been cheated
Crisis: obviously oral solutions don;t get results
Solution: The cleverest one so far: read the instruction manual *BANGS HEAD AGAINST WALL*
How to act rich
Waltz into a iPod shop
Buy a pair of white branded iPod headphones
Wear it and tuck the other end of it into the pocket
Go onto the MRT and shake ur head to a specific rhythm as if listening to heavy metal
and VOILA! ppl now think you own a very exclusive very expensive very branded iPod
Effective guide to effectively embarrassing yourself aka Efective guide to effective social suicide
-Sequel to "How to act rich"
Remove your wallet from your pocket, at the same time accidently causing the end of the iPod headphones to fall out of your pocket.
Feign ignorance and carry on bobbing your head up and down like you;re still listening to music.
and VOILA!ppl will now immediately brand you as a fraud =)

arh..getting my blog up and working again.
1) Choir auditions. Proud to announce tht...*drum roll please*
I didn't make the 2nd time either. WEnt to the 3rd round of auditions, but backed out. Its embarrassing. How can you go: Hi! Remember me? This is my 3rd shot at trying to get into choir! Yep! i failaed the past 2 times!
Now i have utterly no face to see the choir j2s cos they saw me loitering ard the choir auditions and KNOW i was comtemplating to go in again. Grr..tht was my backup plan.
Backup plan: Prob CO. Learn new instrument by May. Yup.
2) Class dinner.
Arh. Kenny Rogers. unbeleivably huge portions. Carn finish half of it even when sharing. And who said it was cheap? *sweeps accusing glare around*. ok lah. just can;t find anything proper to do and half the class carn come. otherwise its quite fun =) better than my og meetings (shhhhhh...)I carn go tmr!!!! there's family dinner, not to mention sats dae after tmr, and i came home at 11 todae...my mum will nvr let me out tmr..and even if i do go..i'll feel so damn bad cos i;m not even half ware thru the damned it word list. but.. I SO WANNA GO TMR!! =(
3) TV Serial Analysis.
First, recall the Korean Analysis i posted few months back:
Analysis of Korean TV Dramas
1st of all, please note tht korean tv drams r real easy to film
1) It doesnt require a big cast. Only need 2 main characters, 2 supporting, and 4 extras (ok..if u r on reeaaal low budget, 3 extras or 2 extras will b fine. How to cut so many extras? Carry on reading)
2 main characters: a guy and a gal. They r destined to fall in love thru the whole drama.
den u have to throw in 2 ppl to make it more complicated
another guy and another gal to fall in love with them and create the cliche love rectangle. (of course its supporting gal fall in love with main boy, supporting male fall in love in main gal lah! wat ARE u thinking? this is NOT a thai film!)
Den of course one of the main characters must be rich, and the other poor. So thats where the extras kick in. the xtras will b these main ppl's parents, hu will, of course, OPPOSE to them being together. so if u are on loooow budget, u can just simply make one of them single parented. yup
oh yeah. not to mention. the sup[porting casts are ALL rich. alwaes happens. and the supporting gal is EVIL. alwaes the girl is evil. notice? nvr the guy, unless u r watching korean films dealing with business, which of course, will still have a evil gal in cahoots with the rare evil man.
2) 2nd reason y korean shows r easy to film. You dun need a good script writer. cos most of the time its all abt dragging the script and crying aniwae. den after all tht comes the commercial breaks. ohyeha. commercial breaks. important!! in korean dramas tht it. so u can conclude tht advertisment firms are more imp than scriptwriters in this sense.
3) Lastly, korean actors dun haf to stay the full serial, which of course, again means lesser money spent. Why? simply cos the koreans haf this habit of killing their characters off. the leads i mean. either one of the leads will develop a fatal disease. den the other one, t prove her/his undying love, will donate some part of himself to save him/ her, but in vain. so to cut a long story short, the ending will alwaes land with at least one of them dead/maimed/blind or the likes of tht. bnetter still both end up like tht=)
Then now i have Exhaustive TV Serial Analysis Part2: Taiwan Drama Serials.
(i) Note that Taiwanese forever holds this perception that the audience are stupid and deaf. Or they have "An Intensive Study Of the Malaysian Language" included in their curirculum they have he malay grammer drilled into their brains. Recollect: Malay languages, to indicate plural forms, they'll repeat the word twice. Like: Sama sama, or sikit sikit. Taiwanese Sciptwriters are the same. The script will go: wo den shang xin hen shang xin. or Wo hen kuai le hen kuai le. or wo hao ai ni hao ai ni. Note to scriptwriters: WE GET THE MSG OK!SNAP OUT OF MALAY!!!
(ii) Riddle: Whats the similarities between Taiwanese scripwriters and Korean scripwriters?
Ans: They have small budgets. Korean shows stick to their budget by killing off actors and actreses or simply keeping the cast small. Taiwanese ppl keep to their budget by saving on the props and set. How? Simply by keeping to one set for a looong time.
Let's put it this way lah huh:
Say the TV Station has 6 million to spare a yr. If 1 avg serial cost 1 million to make, and they can make 6 serials, their strategy would be to make a serial 5 times as long as the avg TV serial but costs the same cosyt, because they can use the same props, costumes, again and again. A simple example would be pi li huo (Fiery Thunderbold). Do you see a change in props? Or costumes since ep 1 to ep 99999 now? The show has been playing since b4 midyr, to midyr, to june hols, to prelims, to Olvls, to post Olevels, and its seeing me thru my JC days. Its probably gg to see me get married too -_-.
So anyway, they make a serial 5 times as long, and they spend the same cost on it as the normal avg serial, cos they save lots on props and costumes. and they dun haf to film alot of shows too. Cos theres onli 52 weks in a yr. the avg show is 6 weeks. They'll drag their shows to like..90 weeks..so they onli haf to film one show a yr when other normal serials are only 6 weeks and haf to film 8shows a yr. Follow so far?
They save on props and costumes by prolonging their serials so they udn haf to change the settings and at the same time, dun haf to film many shows either. So while normal tv stations spend 6 million a yr, they spend 1 million in a yr. By only filming 1 show a yr. Which brings us to the next pt
(iii) Riddle: whats the similarities between Taiwanese and Sg scripwriters?
Ans: Theyl ike complicated plots that stem from absurdly simple plots. (Will covr Sg in Part 3)
Cos Taiwanese haf to drag their shows so long, they obviosuly need good strategies.
Complicate the Plot Straegy 1: OF course they keep changing the personalities of the characters.Taiwanese characters, (save for the protonogist) seems to have split personalities. ALL of them
Their scripts are roughly like tht:
Ep1-10: Act good and saintly
Ep 11-20: meet evil villian and Act EVIL.
Ep 21-30: Meet with accident and pretend to reform
Ep 31-40: Act good and help protagonist
Ep 41=50: Get involved inlove triangle with protagonist
Ep 51-60: meet evil villian and turn evil again.
.
.
.
And so on until episode 1000. Seriously they change personalities as fast as traffic lights changes colour. Cause it makes the show INTERESTING and less obvious tht they're trying to drag
Complicate the Plot Strategy 2: Language
Mentioned b4,. They adapt the Malay strategy. Wo hen xiang hen xiang ni.
Riddle: wats the iff between koreans and taiwanese?
Ans: Korean's drag like this
"mum..."
"yes..."
"mum....*tears well up in eyes*"
"yes...dun cry..."
"i want to ask u qns..*chin trembles*..."
"yes? wat is it..*strokes gal*"
"i...i....*bursts into tears and hugs mum*"
-commercial-
Taiwanese drags liek this:
"do u love me?"
"i love u alot alot alot (wo hen xiang hen xiang ni)"
"i love u as high as the mountains can go..as wide as the oceans, as immense as the sunlight from a setting sun, as much as the watr the oceans whole, as deep as a well.."
"Let's go! Let's elope to the ends of the earth, to the deopths of th oceans, to the hts of the mountains, to the obcurity of the caves! let's be like the doves hu roam the earth, the lions that stomps the ground..."
-hugs-
*villian (hu used to be a hero in the previous 10 episodes) hiding behind pillar revelas evil plot to audience
-commerical-
You see, taiwanese not onli repeats their phrases to show the extent of what they mean, they also like to use a whole para of words to express a singular meaning *shakes head* poor cast, how much they haf to memorize...
(I nvr mentioned that these strategies are fool proof in hiding the fact tht they r tryign to drag did i???*shrugs*)
(iv) Taiwanese are ppl with alot of determination. Even when they;ve squeezed out every single cent from a successful show and prob carn squeeze out anymore they'll STILL perservere. Even if it means coming up with totally ridiculous plots. Like Huan Zhu gege 3. 'nuff said.

I really detest taking the mrt. Dunno y!! i just DON;T LIKE IT. and i don;'t like clementi either. Esp not at 5-7pm. Its crowded, wet, squashy, Noisy, and more often than not, raining when i take it at this time (conspiracy rmb?). I haven;t taken 173 from Clementi at this kind of timing since the pre-970 days. And definitely NOT on a regular basis. I swear if i get to take 970 home again i won;t complain. And i;m not complaing abt 173 anymoire. Its the onli thing remaining the same in the face of changes. Yesh, i carn take changes.
i just heard ann's voice properly for the first time in 5, 6 days?
God. i miss her to bits. I feel like crying!!! If I manage to hear mei;s voice i'll definitely cry. Or if I see ginny anytime i'll just break down. I came so close to seeing her today!!! Next week.

Shows damage tt is done to the hotel and sequential shots of the tsunami. Just when i thot thos 12 women by the side and the travel agent is alive..it seems like they might not be. *prays* *prays very very hard*
Now for social life. gosh. ok..the ppl are realli nice ppl, just that it is not my way to justintroduce myself into cliques. So like, they all either have accompaniment or are super sociable or both. yikes. Its nice of them. realli. But i wish there's someone like peiyi, hu can just go to any bookworm reading antisocailly*ahem* (i;m not saying i;ma book worm there ok!) and tok and intro and ask her into the grp.hu ask me so antisocial!!! worst still i keep finding other ppl for company when i feel extra. Tmr will b a better dae! *i hope* Worst is when eveyone is begginining to enjoy jc life and i STILL carn better my social life. You know when sam is oppressed when at 5.00 after dismissal she shoots her mouth nonstop to cheyrl and geri. Cause since the crappy side is feeling too sad in long-term hibernation (i.e. 1 day) it feels the dire need to release itself before sam yap bursts into nothingness.
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

For those of you who STILL dun get an idea of how bad my life in primary school was, here's a description. how does the words sound: BETA, irresponsible, don;t do hw, attention seeking, lousy grades ( in a class of majority scoring 260 and above...), toking back to teachers, uh..FORGET to bring hw (technically speaking its the same as dun't do hw). Picture it. Now imagine my reputation?
So in crescent it was a fresh start. Rebuild my reputation, my grades, my social life. Build a fairly stable one, a fulfilling one. made DAMN good frens. ANd i thought i finally gained some confidence.
Then i took the risk and etnerd rjc. Everything i build the past 4 yrs is gone. like the tsunami destroying everything. The worst nightmare came through. I met half of 6g, prob more. There goes my reputation, my social life. All the confidence i had is gone.
If not for the fact tht rj trains good medicine students and it made everyone so darn happy i got in i think i wun last. ok, mayb it was not so bad that it was a nightmare in the entirety that i wanted to describe it as. There were nice ppl. Who ask me so introverted lah huh. Bu ti think if it continueslike tht at the end of the 3 mths the onli institute i got to is WMI. Leave a msg on my tagboardif u dunno wat it is and want to know.
Do u noe how much i miss u..ann, wq, mei, sioks...Ann aside, u all haf been with me 4 yrs? I miss doing projects with wq and mei. And today during the dancing i miss dancing wif sioks. And i keep rmb doing stuff wif ann. Do u haf ani inkling of how much i miss u mei? wats the point..she's not even coming to read this. but i even miss competing marks wif her, shooting rubber bands, tormenting all those ppl in front, allying wif her, gosh.
soon choir will start and i'll meet
certain ppl and ill start missing waisze, gel, yahui, e.t.c.
damned
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

Review of 2004
Ooh!! fulfilling year! academically and socially. Firmed up relations of ppl within 4c2. Uh..ann, huimin, jasmine. Close relatoins with 2g1 ppl? WQ, mei, sioks, zakiah ... Made new frens, knew more ppl: Geri, cheryl, denies (haha! sit in front of me to b tormented.)
Review of 4 yrs in Crescent
arh..good!! where i met some of my best frens, where made frens with ppl-from-rgps-that-i-would-not-have-known-if-istayed-there. proud of my cca record!!!! i carn beleive i clocked up so much hours doing voluntary work. uh..fulfilling academics, loads of projects that..uh..technically serves nothing mor than bonding sessions (WQ and Mei in cancer, Cheryl geri mei in java jam..gel in mit..realli!), good social life.
Anyway this is infinite more than what i got out of rgps. (and i contributed infinitely more than i contributed to rgps too. )
So now here's going to rjc. You know the feeling that u rdoing something super unwilling, tht everyone thinks u r dong the right thing except urself?this is how it feels. I mean..logically speaking it IS the right choice. If i want to take medicine rj is prob the best place to be. but then...u all noe wat i;mworried abt lah huh. damn. i dun even regret inthe least bit not goin to rgs when the whole world when there in p6. now not only am i going to meet ppl from 6g i dun want to meet, i;m going to meet those despo ppl hu wants to stay in the raffelsian family. you know those ppl in rgps, tht die die wants to go into rgs, but carn get in and wants to ry for rjc? i HATE those ppl. lemme make it clear to all rgps ppl now: i dun want to get into rjc because its the best school or a school of prestige. sam yap DOES NOT go for things like this. i;m going only because i wnt a future in medicine.
Ok..so count my blessings. I;m going in with 6 ppl tht i at least more or less know quite well. geri, cheryl, huimin, jasmine. Even eunice and shuyi at least i know them more or less.
LAst yr when i dreded school so much,as i thik back, i was taking things for granted. I moands and groande abt going back to school for Olevles, nvr thinking tht at elast i;m going back to the same env, to the same ppl i noe, tht everyone i like, esp mei is still there
Now mei is gone. ann is gone. wq is gone. SOOOB!!thts half the fun gone! esp mei!!
but hey! there's still huimin right?????...to torment tht is. *grinz*
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..
