Penguins lovin'it

Today is the last day of the year 2009AD, hope that those who are awake now can reflect on their performance for this year. What are the correct and incorrect stuffs that has been done. Also how to make 2010AD a better and more meaningful year than the previous. :D Today had a briefing on the sec 1 orientation, I was issued the post of I/C for class 1B if there are no further changes. This years plan seems like the councillor have lesser time to have leisure chat with the Sec 1s which i really wanted though. Together with me are, Vernetta, Reniga, Sam, Shewii, Huda and Sean. Then heard that Mr Tham have an idea of a sports class. Dun even know what is that?? So after a dam long briefing, went to parade square to help out with the marking of classes. Initially used strings to for m straight lines but didn't work out well. So Ms Yeong had a better idea instead, using real people to mark out the classes. Which work out quite well, shall see the results on Monday when school reopens. Then 4/5 which is the class i am taking next year is like on the other side of the parade square, well actually at the volleyball court, which i wonder if it is even able to see the flag. So Ms Yeong in return treated the bulk of us who stayed back to help to Mac. Now counting down to 2010.

So today, i cannot bear the urge to comment on this situation that i have experience recently. It may offend those who know about this too but sorry, the urge proves overwhelming. So I am aware that some people are more sensitive to the issues of talking behind one's back. Condemning with anger isn't the right thing to do, in turn you offend others which is which is not very ideal in forming a peaceful and harmonious society. let's imagine a Student Affairs Coordinator doing a survey with the students. Then someone criticised the organization with vulgarities or whatever repeatedly. Then is that Coordinator going to get all raged up and start acting in an angry manner, shouting at the person. This is an unwise thing to execute, as it only deteriorate the current situation. It would be better to be flexible and use a different method of approach towards that situation. Of course the Student criticising must not cross the line. But logic says that a cheerful and harmonious way of dealing with it is better.

Today went to school, reached at around 0830, around and chatted with Ahoyset. Then at 9 went to panel room for discipline workshop. Well i really think it was an almost waste of time to be frank. Cus other than a few points that are new and that i do not know, the others are exactly the same. Then had a break followed by briefing of morning duties. Ai seh the discipline check by councillor got a minor change in system. Then first day the discipline check like some kind of airport security check. After flag-raising still got another check. Following that was the proposal workshop. Teaching of the sequence and methods of writing an/a event/camp proposal my coords :D. at 1320 home sweet home :D. Came back, downloaded some stuffs, mopped the floor and cooked dinner. Today's dinner was simple and splendid :D Hm... third time cooking dinner =) Thursday got another meeting on Sec 1 orientation, although i dread to go the meeting cus its on the New Year's eve. But i will still appear and i am dam looking forward to the Sec 1 orientation. Hope that there are juniors of mine in the class i am taking. =)

So today was suppose to have a meeting in school by Ms Yeong. Then at 9 i received a sms saying that the school is close, meeting postponed. I was like WTF, i was already in school Uniform about to leave the house, luckily somehow my insticnts told me to check my messages. Which i thankfully did. Did the person who organize the meeting ever spare a tot for people who might be on their way to school already. What would be their feelings at the point of time when they learn about it on the bus/MRT. And like i mention in my previous post, I REALLY REALLY HATED LAST MINUTE NOTICES. Monday got another meeting/workshops/briefing. What a waste of time the Discipline workshop, can't they focus on something that needs to be settle fast. The sec 1s, i doubt some of them even interacted with everyone in their batch. They dun have even a name.

Might be getting a thinkpad laptop soon. Has a 60% survival rate if water ever spills onto the laptop. =D Contains a DDR3 cum 3 year warranty, free upgrade to Windows 7 which is common now though. Longer battery duration. Shock-prove hardisk. Can't wait to get a new phone too since the old one spoiled due to contact of water.

Insomia the night before but was alright managed to get up on time and took 154 to school. When i reached the 154 bustop outside school, Agnes and the others were acting like a welcome party. =D Waited there for the others until 7 when everyone that should be there had arrive. Got the badges and ties to put on and proceed to our respective position and wait. Soon people started flooding in like wave after wave of legions. The hall suddenly had a lack of manpower. Thanks Syazana and Amanda for helping the hall urshers =D. Soon we started running out of chairs so many of us rushed to grab more from the store. Untill we used up every chair in that store. So Principal's talk etc. and the registration started. So i from a hall ursher became a school ursher. Directing parents to their respective venue and running back to the hall. At 11 started to clear up, carried the benches back and debriefed. Walau the bulk of the batch was slacking in canteen after they finished there., if you say your tired then you want to compare with my job. I ran around the whole school, i was like an OIC, dun even have time to drink water until Weikang passed me one. Thanks Weikang =D I almost fainted, was already light headed. My shirt soaked in sweat. I still solo with Sean move the beaches back to canteen. Got a little pissed when i was moving the bench and people was teasing me instead of helping. The bench not light leh.
Well everything was great except for some minor issues that could be improved on. =D 3 Cheers for OICs :D Hip Hip Hooray. Then we received a good news that everyone get to keep their ties and badges :D. Walau sian Saturday got meeting then Monday got workshops and need to hand in reflections etc. Went to MacDonald's' to eat and went home.
Can everyone stop mentioning about the incident that happened this morning!

Woke up in the morning then did routine things before going out to collect my uniform. Went to school after that. Had briefing in the alumni room then followed by briefing by the OICs. Then helped out arranging the layout of the canteen. Had a dry-run, followed by debrief and lunch time ;) Went to KFC with Ahoyset. At 3.45 took a 154 and went home. To someone, try to smile more, I have had juniors asking me whether you are very serious and stern. I replied no and ask them why? They said that its from your facial expression. So try to smile more =) its good to smile makes you look more friendly and maintains the balance in the body =) Do be cautious about your body language and the way you react to people. "He who wins over the people gains the world"

I think that Singapore is not a really that perfect place to live in. Although it is not affected by natural diseaster and has a high level of peace and stability with one of the best police force. A good education system, lots of malls etc. But it is very very realistic without money there is not much you can do. Unless you get help from others, you just have to slog and work for survical or die. To get a pension from the government, have to apply this and that, the worse part is when you really need the help, the application is rejected. So what can one do just work for survival until you leave this world. Hope there would be changes in the future.

Today woke up at 11 the latest time i have woke up since the start of the holidays. I am not a guy who likes to get up dam late those kind. Went to school at 1230h, was late cus injured my toes couldn't chase after the bus. Was 5 mins late, then discuss about some problems about the batch. Then I, Fatt rui and Beng koon keep doing alot stupid things at the back. Then there was one part dam funny, cus the 26th owe Wei jun $70 for the Sec 1 orientation camp, then Fatt rui call Agnes Lau and said ..... Your batch still have fund anot?
Agnes replied "We split the fund among our selves already."
Fatt rui replied" Then ask everyone give back the fund to pay Wei jun......... "
LOL. After the briefing ended, Peiling, Amanda and Syazana came up to brief about Sec 1 Registration,the objectives, job scoops and jobs on that day. So dismiss and went home.

I think that when we are having meetings can we dun like ask when everyone is free. I like Sean's idea, well i do like most of his ideas. We fixed a certain date then see who is not free on that day. And i seriously seriously dun like to see the word "last minute notice" on sms that comes after 10. Unless there is really really no choice. For instance, someone didn't received the msg and went to sleep before 10. He only realised that there is meeting the following morning and by that time he doesn't feel like going so this makes full attandance for the meeting impossible. So decision to-be-made or instructions needed to be given out might have delays.

Woke up today @ 9 to help out my mom with breakfast. Then at 11 watch the A计划 on Channel 8. The drama comprises two of my favourite elements in drama. It setting is during the beginning of the 20th century about the Royal Hong kong police. There is also romance included in it :) Then at 1330 went for lunch at the Botanic Gardens. Has nasi lemak which was quite okay. Then went to Peiling's house to help out with Sec 1 registration stuffs. Later went looking around the world using Google Map. Went home around 6. Had Dinner and went to Orchard road with my family to look at lightings there. :D

I have been thinking, does the Singapore government give pensions to the elderly or single parent? As in not everyone would get, those who are okay and able to support themselves do not need the pension. CPF isn't a kind of pension, it is more of the government helping us to save money for old age. During the 19th century in Germany, a pension is give to anyone 70 and above and earns less than 21 euros per year. Maybe this can been done for senior citizens earning less than $6000 per year. As for single-parent(with one child) earning less than $10 500 per year. SIngle -parent (with 2 children) earning less than $ 12 000 per year. Hope maybe something like this could be started and that CCs have just too mnay people to help already they do not have enough resources.

Today My toes (Big toe) hit the stairs when going down the stairs to fetch my relatives then it bled. Now like one crippled person can't walk properly. haiz. The skin and some flesh apparently came off during impact. There is a constant stinging feeling at the wound there now, just have to wait for it to heal haiz. :(

Today the Johor state government announced that with effect from tomorrow 13/12/09, all Singapore cars leaving Johor, the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank must not exceed 20 litres. What if the car ran out of petrol while waiting to cross the customs. And innocent Singaporeans have to waste their Singapore-filled Petrol for no reason. What kind of decision is this, was the decision given full thoughts and consideration to the best for the Malaysians in Johor or was it just on a particular issue? Singaporeans are like one of the forms that maintain or improve the Malaysian economy, might not be so too. But businesses like car wash depends on Singaporeans on quite a big scale. When interviewed, the boss of a car wash in Johor said that 70% of his earnings depends on Singapore cars. Also when a Singaporean was interviewed, he said that he will cut down his trips to Johor from 2-3 per month to 2-3 per year. This would mean a great loss of profits for people like the car wash boss. Is there some kind of politics involved in the decision and that I think this is not really a good move to conserve the country resource unless it is confidence that it's economy can improve without much of external help. I hope that there would be some amendments to the policy.

Hm... today first time preparing dinner for my family hahas :D Cooked Pasta hahas turn out not too well :D Lols So apparently the sauce was more of like Cambell soup mix with quite alot of water. The noodle was cooked just fine :D the hotdogs and nuggets were great :D Not too bad i guess first time cooking for a family so didn't know need how much sauce :D Overall waas okay lah hahas :D
Hm... Grandma coming tomorrow with my cousin :D hahas lol seems like it has been 6 years since they came to Singapore, it was always we the ones visiting them in Malacca. Finally they can come to Singapore :D

Recently 2 news reports on the SPF about bribery. In the first report, first case officers in two separate cases arrested two immigrants who overstayed their Visa. The Indian National attempted to bribe the offcier by giving them a phone he bought for S$240 but the officers rejected it. In the Second case, officers from Geylang NPC arrested a Chinese National who overstayed, she attempted to bribe the offciers by giving them S$204 but the men in blue rejected it. These men were commended recently :D.
However in the second report, a former DSP (Deputy Superintendent of Police) was charged with briber. He accepted a bribe of S$1000 from a driver who was the cause of a traffic accident and got someone else to take the rap for the driver. Walau such cop exist within the force. Really a total disgrace to the force. Willing to break the law just because of a thousand dollars haiz this kind of people also have. Hope that History does not have to repeat itself again. :(

Woo hoo batch chalet was fun. Met up with Fatt rui, beng koon, Ding feng, Wei jun and Caroline at Boon lay interchange to take 198 to Hong kang point to buy items and food needed for the chalet. At the stall the auntie must have seen that we bought alot of things so she gave each of us a candy cane. Good marketing strategy :D Next went with Fatt rui and Wei jun to buy the BBQ stuffs and a ball. Had breakfast and took 98 to Lakeside and waited for Weishi's mom. Talked with Wei jun until 10 when Weishi's mom arrived. So all the guys there took the first cab to Sentosa. When we arrive, suppose to pay $10 for admission but the taxi uncle's cash card did not have enough money so that guy just gave us a receipt and let us through never even tell us where to pay. So Woo Hoo no need pay admission fee :D Waited, had lunch and finally check-in :D.

Went to the beach to play which something horrible happened. Wei kang and Sean grab me and threw me into the water. You think that was the bad part, NO.... the horrible thing was my phone was in my pocket went they threw me in and it was killed. Build structures using sands, like hills and steps. When Wei kang step on it, it gave way. This proves that he is too fat :D Swim around. Then went back, showered and started the fire for the BBQ. Ding feng tried a new way of cooking. He put an aluminium tray above the BBQ pit and pour oil into it. Which became shallow frying :D Successful at first but overall failed.

Agnes said that there was too little variety of food and not enough food so went with Caroline and Syafiqah to Vivo to purchase more. While Fatt rui went to get the cake. The X-factors came not long after. The girls returned from the grocery shopping at 1800 and Fatt rui returned with the cake at round 2000h. Sang B'day song for Weishi and this ang moh came along saying "Whose B''day is it, i got to do it, i got to do it" LOL When he took pic with her his hands was like touching her butt :D hahas :D. The cake was a chocolate ship on top a rectangular base. Thanks Fatt rui!! :D Had a nightwalk together, walked around Sentosa and took pictures wherever possible :D Had a great time. Was funny when everyone was singing the Ding fengcheer :D. Something funny happen on the way back to the chalet but should not mention :D Back at the Chalet, everyone played Blackjack but i stayed out, Must have a healthy life style right :D Then dunno half-way who suggest to stay awake for the whole night outside. So everyone went out leaving me in the room. Slept and the air-con was friggin cold even with blankets on :(

At 0700h in the morning receive a SOS call from Wei jun to open the back gate for them :D. The others then when to sleep while i left the room to go the pool area and rested there. 0930 woke the others up and after breakfast played Blackjack again. Was suppose to clean up and checked out at 10 but ended up checking out at 1230h. Slept in the wardrobe while they Blackjack. Ding feng ended up losing $50 to Fatt rui what wrong with that guy. Then took the monorail to Vivo, had lunch and then went hone ;D. A dam fun chalet :D hehe Forever Ahoyset :D
PS: the pail used to put the drinks for BBQ was from the toilet and Wei jun sat on the pail and farted i think :P Hope no one had problems after drinking the drinks :P
