blow you dry-

08SO3J

2007-12-08T10:15:00.000-08:00

I do wonder when will anyone ever see this post since the blog has been dead for so long and it has become some god forsaken link so desolately abandoned on Wang Zhikai's blog. Like the class spirit which was once vibrant, if not jubilant, the blog previously thrived and never failed to invoke laughter in any reader who happened to chance upon it. However, again similar to the fate of our class spirit, the blog slowly lost it's integral contributors whose passion and will died down like how blazing flames turned to mild smoulderings and then completely put out by the capping of a stifling cover which we conveniently called the "busy JC life".

In Retrospect.

I first met all of you in 08SO3J on 9th January 2007. Missing orientation had left inside of me an awkward mix of anxiety, uncertainty and excitement, which were overwhelming whenever I met new people. From experience I knew that my rather 'dao' exterior had given many people unfriendly first impressions of me and therefore I was very careful when mingling around, wary of not to jeopardise any inchoate establishment of new friendship by a dour face. Hence, I smiled more and talked more; joked more and laughed more; played more and sang more (surprising but yes! 'How To Save A Life' and 'Welcome To The Black Parade' remember? Hahaha... you wanted to cover yours ears because the singing was so bad, yet you wanted to listen on for the comical effect =) . True enough, I knew and made a lot of new friends, or more specifically, guy friends.

Why guy friends specifically? Here is why.

The gender segregation phenomenon in our class was so obvious and rampant that even an outsider could see it at once. We sat together for meals during empty blocks: gals and guys in two distinct clusters at one table. The guys crapped, sang and subconsciously tried to somehow impress, while the gals listened and laughed occasionally at the pure stupidities and immaturities in the guys. Oh well... If you needed another example of spontaneous reactions, the way our class divided ourselves naturally and automatically into guy and gal groups was an excellent illustration. The worst case I remembered was how we even got into two different empty classrooms adjacent to A54 before our econs tutorial started on Mondays! Were we just too shy or simply could not be bothered? What was stopping us from coming together and talking to people of the opposite gender unreserved? The same old childish and puerile presumption that being gregarious + chatting with the opposite gender = despo + flirt? I guess so. Four years in a single - sex school had indeed made most of us into socially inapt individuals and caused the collateral damage of, in the case of our class, spontaneous gender - divide problem.

Apart from the hellish promotional examinations, another highlight of the second semester was the Class Adventure Camp (CAC). We zealously embarked on the 'journey' with so many ambitious goals in mind, ardently and hopefully thinking that CAC could be a Panacea to all our gender - divide problems. Did it?

Those three days at Pulau Ubin were undeniably memorable, exciting and parts of them emotional. We braved our greatest fear, the dark, during the nightwalk; displayed teamwork when we cooked and pitched tents together; showed compassion and care towards one another during the sharings. Admittedly, all these had more or less eventuated in deeper understandings among ourselves. We did bond and get together as a class, as one 08SO3J; however, all were ephemeral. Shortly after CAC, the phenomenon somehow worsened. People started to get into cliques and subsequently even the big yellow Nike bag or the yellow Nike bottle failed to bring us together in the canteen. Besides being physically together at lectures and tutorials, the mental and understanding gaps between cliques and individuals in the class drifted further and further apart. The class spirit, as if it had caught a terminal disease, was slowly dying and the situation exacerbated day after day. Everybody saw it and understood, but rarely anyone bothered. No one was to blame and all should just be imputed to the promos preparation I guess. And... before we knew it, the holidays were here and there went all of us hastily into our shielded individual lives.

My Recollections.

Orientation. Ice breakers at amphi. Class gatherings. Truth or Dare. 'I Never'. Singing in canteen. Jokes. Mural painting. Take 5. The first chemistry lecture test. PW groupings. IHC. Dota. Gunbound. Maple Story. Lan Outings. The Guys. The Gals. The P2s. The HIV. June holidays. CTs. PW surveys. PW interviews and transcripts. PW WR. PW WR printing. Basketball. Dripping boys walking into the lectures. CAC. Rumours. Relationships. Emo. Cliques. SPAs. CCAs. Promos. The GOBLG. The HCL. PnC. The Bridges. PWOP. 31st October 2007. Failed class gatherings. Birthday Celebrations. ISLE. Class Chalet. End of 2007. End of JC1.

To Rekindle

What an emo walk down the memory lane that is! Hahaha... I wrote this purely on a sudden impulse to say something about our class and things which I have observed throughout the J1 year. We have only one more year to be together and people please treasure the time. I really hope things will change next year and we can all attend Grad Night' 08 labeling ourselves as a class, 08SO3J, which by then hopefully will be better and more snugly mixed.

Alright I shall cut the crap right here.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Someday

2007-06-19T01:52:00.000-07:00

Someday
I may forget the paths i've walked by
but my traces have been left behind
up the mountains across the oceans
down the river beneath the earth

Someday
I may go to a place far away
but your smiles will make me stay
You are quiet most of the time
and that is your hidden charm

Someday
My story will finally end
when you've become my only one
Will I ever get a chance
Or do I only worth a glance

For all the victims of love.

那天以后（黄昏的曲调）

漫无目的地走，

在人潮汹涌的街头。

望着面前来来往往的人流，

心中有说不出的愁。

那日你和我分手，

你说真爱不可强求。

不管我怎样对你苦苦挽留，

你始终没有再回头。

那天以后我再也找不到相信爱的理由，

直到今日抚不平心中的伤口。

窗外盛夏炎炎，

内心已是深秋，

孤单一人忍受。

那天以后还会常常回忆起我们的懈逅，

直到今日忘却不了你的温柔。

曾相信你和我，

可以天长地久，

到头一无所有。

Class Outing on 5th June at East Coast Park

2007-06-02T10:41:00.000-07:00

I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts, for I know they are with the books and lecture notes. But ask yourself; has it ever peeped outside and yearned for a little jovial play in the summer sun, or a good laugh with friends?

Be frank, be true to yourself.

When was the last time you've been out with frens at a beach? Walk, talk, laugh and snapping pictures. When was the last time you splashed around with friends near the sea, nurturing the flourishing friendships?

If you cannot remember, 5th June is going to be the day.

Amidst the mugging and hustle life of RJC, you may have actually forgetten and I'm here to gently remind you - June is a season to give your heart wings and let it fly as it desires.
We call this holiday.
We call this taking a break.

See you there.

a much better version?

Hello fellow MI BJ doods,
I'm really happy to see that we are bonding damn well. We've now found our niche and created a web of support for each other.
MUST! We must meet during the holz; to destress, play, gym or whatever to keep the passion for BJ blazing.
Yupp.
Life is about nurturing the

MIND.

BODY.

SOUL.

yupp... Mugging therefore will only make you 1/3 of the totall MIness. Once again I would like to mention this, "The true MIness is from within".

Rock on. And i'm seriously serious abt the band thingy. really... can com to sem cc. I've got access to the jam studio here. Although it's abit erm... rundown, but still managable. Yupp.

Happy mugging.

Quote zhikai,"work hard. play harder."

Holidays...

2007-05-25T07:54:00.000-07:00

should just be renamed... Muggingdays... but still... if one has paid attention during the course of the semester... theoretically n wad all teachers say... one shldnt need to spend the entire holidays just mugging... cause most of the knowledge will already be inside... but for those whose souls float/wander/migrate all over the school/singapore/or who knows where around the world... a LOT of work n catching up needs to be done.

all u have to do is look at my blog... my IMBA schedule for the 1st week is dere... im gonna be sooo worn out. damns... n i need to start mugging... the CTs pose one of the greatest threats to our completion of JC1... i definitely have no crush on any hot chick... not to mention sec 4 ones at dat... haha... so i have no intention of staying back 1 more year... n wasting 1 more year of my life which could be spent on other more meaningful things... such as travelling around de world working in my job.

haiz... sry if dis post a bit de short... but blogged such a long post on my own blog dat i feel like ive run out of things to say... haha...

as those of you who watch/used to watch jackie chan adventures, uncle likes to say...

ONE MORE THING: fellow bjers, dun mug too much, take time out to relax and go out, mugging is DEFINITELY not life. fellow 3jers who read dis, de same goes to u ppl too. mebbe a class outing during the hols would be good, nt onli for us as individuals but also for class bonding/spirit as a whole. =)

summation

2007-05-25T07:49:00.000-07:00

to sum things that terrence had mentioned.

basically we need to find time to destress ourselves as intensive mugging of school work will be unavoidable in the hols

what i suggest that the BJ club need to meet up for BJC intensive training in the hols, preferably onceor twice.

training schedule includes
PT
gym
lan
games

this is in line with our model of a perfect BJB
which is actually a person who is fit, good in gaming and humourous

anyway just suggesting so dont flame it if anyone has violent objection.

besides, if we really are serious in the band thingy, we need to discuss about it too in the hols and get started.

happy mugging and playing!

holidays NOT

2007-05-25T01:32:00.000-07:00

ho ho ho people. despite being the pioneer of the blog i.e. creating it =p, haven posted a single post. but yea sorry im liddat cause i blog whenever i feel like or got inspiration. and now being the last day of school seems relatively appropriate to blog =D

holiday not. honestly since secondary school it has been true as in unless one is a floating body, holidays have been equated to more and more training. and now in jc things just exacerbated. this is the first ever time i greeted my last day of school with only one thing in mind - mug. yes not REALLY movies, not REALLY shopping and almost not at all gaming, mug. pathetic eh. and before anyone jumps to call me a mugger kindly look at what lies at the end of the much awaited holidays. common test -.- one who doesnt study with that unglam reminder isnt really in the right mind, or else some hot sec 4 chick/hunk has caught his or her eye that made he/she feel it might be good to stay back then ya. or else one just has to concede holidays just dont seem to carry much of its intended meaning anymore and mugging is inevitable or worse for some, hardcore training.

and for those who still dunno, BJC officially adopted a feeder club - ACC. Curious people may check with certain BJ bachelors for the meaning of that acronym BUT its up to our discretion to tell u =D obviously fellow Bjers i believe u wun have a problem with knowing it we'll gladly tell u.

okay BJers if any plans for hols just tag the board and people check regularly! despite our busy mugging schedule i believe we can make time just for a day or two of pool, movie, crapping and plain fun. happy mugging and happier enjoying (try)

some people are born bitches. some choose to be bitches. but whether u are born one or chose to be one, u piss people off all the same. sarcasm isnt our language and snide remarks definitely dun massage our ear drums. if u think u are too good for people then stay away. dun terrorize people just because ur small ego needs solace cause u aint getting no respect. silence doesnt equate to condone, it just means cannot be bothered. if u tread on the elastic of tolerance once too often dun be surprised when it snaps in ur face and when it does, it aint gonna be no mere skirmish, its annihilation.

The shots mean much more than a basketball game

At almost 1.5m outside of the 3pt line, he asked me, "do you think I can make this?"
dtz, "cmi. my hand's in your face and i'm gonna draw the skyline soon."
he, "if i make this. you go after her ok?"
dtz, "go make it and I will!"

he jumped up, straightened his arm, flipped his wrist and pulled the trigger... silence... our eyes followed the ball as it sailed through the nightsky, drawing a perfect parabola... for a moment we thought it had disappeared into the galaxy... then it reappeared above the rim...

"chop"

it was clean and clear-cut..

astonished, both of us. was it plainly a fluke? was it really his skill? or was it fate dropping me a hint?

he, "so, this is it huh? dtz and her. the girl from singapore."
dtz, "I guess so."

the court blacked out.

Hey... why is this blog becoming soooo dull and inactive? I mean where did all the enthusiasm that you had while creating this blog go? Come'n people! This is a perfect venue for shout-outs, destressing, joking, videos, and baiscally a breeding ground for laughter and laughter and more laughter exclusively for 08SO3Jians. Thus I hereby propose a motto for our blog:

"Where laughter increase exponentially."

MI or not?! DAMN MI AH! SO PPL, COME'N! LOL!

This hardcore poem is dedicated to 3J guys.

Some say leh,

Some say lah.

3J guys like DOTA.

Everyone is so imba;

First few seconds got first blood.

Opponents all shouting "what the fuck!"

We could just say "dude you suck"

Hahaha.

A Great Lesson

2007-05-19T08:02:00.001-07:00

I went to a church dinner this evening and took away from it a great lesson/analogy which i dare say will affect me for the rest of my life. Let me now share this with you people and hopefully it will leave an everlasting impact in you too.

If our parents were different kind of balls for sports games, what would you have treated your parents as?
A soccer ball which u will make use of to achieve your own personal goals?
A table tennis ball which u bat back and forth with your siblings to avoid responsibility for taking care of them?
Or will you eventually, like most adults who are too engrossed in and "dedicated" to realising their dreams or pursueing a success in their careers, treat them like a golf ball and tryna hit them as far away as possible?
NO! NO! NO! If you are already subconsciously concurring with any one of the above analogies, please... repent and STOP DOING THAT! Those are definitely NOT the ways for treating your parents when he and she are actually the ones who have brought you up and paid for your education which will assumably gain you wealth and happiness in the future.
A happiness of quality and meaning is one which manifests from the lives of people around you. I don't think you can call it happniess that you have when your parents are devoid of it. (This may not apply to us now but it's never too early to be filial =)
So, to my dear friends of 3J; from this very moment, start to treat your parents like rugby balls. No matter how battered you are or how choppy your life gets, hold on to them dearly even when you are dashing for your goals.

Love them always. From today till our dying day, till we are old and grey.

2007-05-17T08:49:00.000-07:00

I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move till you finally see
That you belong with me
You might think I don't look
But deep inside the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
I'm weak, it's true
Cause I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cause my heart keeps falling faster
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
You don't know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak, it's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know you met me?
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
I know when I go
I'll be on my way to you
The way that's true
