Happy New Year!!!!!!

By You know who I am...

Ahh, 2009 has passed and now 2010 is just looming! I’ll give a rundown of what’s happened this past year. There was so much that had happened in the past that I may miss a few details… Btw, they are in any random order. (Picts would go up tmr, hopefully…)

 

Firstly, FAIRPRICE!!!!! Worked there in the beginning of this year and kep fond memories of that place! (however, i don’t want to work there anymore….)

 

O level results!!!! L1R5 13, L1R4 10!

 

Posted to TPJC!!!

 

09S04!!!!!!

 

Joined Infocomm club (because Shooting and guitar turned me down T.T)

 

Conversational Chinese!!

 

Inuyasha Final Act!!!! Yay! The only Anime series I watched is finally back to complete the series!!

 

MY NOKIA 5800 THAT I BOUGHT WITH MY OWN HARD EARNED CASH!!!!!

 

POKEMON PLATINUM & POKEMON HEART GOLD/SOUL SILVER!!!

 

BOOMZ!! SHINGZ!!!

 

Phua Chu Kang Sdn. Bhd.! Though I don’t really like the series much… More lame than the original PCK Pte. Ltd.

 

Dunman Sec has underwent much changes since we left… Our beloved Principal, Mrs Neo has left the school together with Bernard…

 

Last, (but definitely not least cause I know I forgot somethings…) the Promos… Got decent results, and would be seeing my class again next year!! Now the A level looms…

 

Did the year go by fast?? I’d say not. Rather, it has been one loooong journey for me in J1 and I got to meet many new friends and rekindled friendships between old ones.

 

Ugh, got a pile of homework sitting at the corner of my room decomposing…

 

I reject your reality and substitute it with my own

By You know who I am...

Unoriginal title, but whatever…

After spending a lot of $$$, Daryl finally has a birthday present, though this was only coz Raihan pushed me to get another one for him… Too bad I don’t have a pict of the Mariah Carey CDs we bought for him. However, I do have a screenshot of the sms he sent:

Scr000042Aww, at least me getting overbroke (-$8 more on my $50 allowance :X) did not go to waste. Your welcome Daryl! Now the  difficult part is digging up more dough for Munir’s bday present… After getting me a fabulous BT headset, I do have to give him something in return…

 

Sometimes, I wonder whether all this gift-giving is necessary in the first place… or will it die down eventually…

 

One thing’s for certain, all friendships past and present must be treasured and cherished coz you won’t have any idea whether the person you thought is your best friend today, would suddenly become a figment of your past life…

 

We all have only one life to live

 

Hello World!

By You know who I am...

Wow super long time since I have EVER blogged… Well I stopped blogging for a while coz I had to study for promos (3As and in HAT progamme!!!!!!! w000t!!!). So after that I kinda lost steam to blog… Well much has happened in my life and although I cherish every moment, Im too lazy to blog about them =) Oh ya, since I dunno what to write here, I kinda figured I should post my translation of Rossa’s Ayat-Ayat Cinta song. Its so jiwang in Malay and I wanted to translate it to English to see if it retains the sense and feel of the song even in another language. No, I did not use Google translate (its useless). Oh and I don’t care if you understand Malay or not. Everyone should listen to this great song.

Original lyrics Translated lyrics

Desir pasir di padang tandus
Segersang pemikiran hati
Terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit

Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekadar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung
Ku pertaruhkan

reff:
Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna
Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah
Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita
Cintaku padamu

Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh
Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama
Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta
Ketika ku bersujud

Bila keyakinanku datang
Kasih bukan sekedar cinta
Pengorbanan cinta yang agung
Ku pertaruhkan

repeat reff

Ketika ku bersujud

The sound of the desert wind
Is as empty as my heart 
Tells a story of my intricate love

When confidence comes
Love is not just affection 
The great sacrifice of love 
I leave to chance

reff:
Forgive me when I’m not perfect
I cannot prevent this love 
The verses of love tell a story 
Of my love for you

When happiness sets in 
As if I could live even longer 
Though I have to leave this love behind 
When I kneel for prayer

When confidence comes
Love is not just affection 
The great sacrifice of love 
I leave to chance

repeat reff

When I kneel for prayer

Hantu

By You know who I am...

Got this from the internet… Damn funny. Sorry to my non-malay readers… The post is fully in malay.

JENIS-JENIS HANTU & ASALNYA

1. Hantu Raya - Berasal dari Tanah Melayu. Dipercayai terkorban di dalam satu kemalangan jalan raya, sebaik saja keluar dari Pudu Raya untuk pulang berhari raya. Kegemarannya mencuri kuih-kuih raya. Tempat menginapnya disyaki di balai-balai raya.

2. Hantu Langsuir - Dikenal pasti berasal dari Tanah Seberang. Ceritanya bermula di suatu pagi raya bila seorang suri rumah sedang memasang langsir lalu terjatuh dari tingkap, terus mati. Selepas itu, dia selalu datang menjeguk langsirnya. Hobinya bermain cak-cak di tepi langsir.

3.DSCI0054 Hantu Stokin - Berasal dari kawasan perindustrian Shah Alam. Merupakan seorang taukeh stokin yang berjaya sehingga lupa rumah tangga. Hidupnya asyik dengan stokin. Tidur stokin, makan stokin, minum stokin sehinggalah kawan-kawan menggelarnya Hantu Stokin.

4. Hantu Jerangkung - Di percayai berasal dari Tanah Besar China. Ia bekerja sebagai penjerang kangkung di sebuah restoran. Hari-hari kerjanya jerang kangkung dalam sebuah periuk besar. Satu hari,seorang kawan menyergahnya dari belakang. Kerana terlalu terkejut,dia jatuh dalam periuk itu. Perkataan akhirnya ialah 'jerang.....kung'. Jadilah Hantu Jerangkung. Hobinya mencangkung dan tempat tinggalnya dalam almari, sebab tu le ada lagu 'Jerangkung Dalam Almari'.

5. Hantu Pontianak - Disyaki berasal dari India. Seorang lelaki, Mr. Ponti mendapat seorang anak perempuan yang sangat hodoh. Orang kampung selalu menyindir anak ponti ini dengan berkata "Ponti punya anak, Ponti punya anak, Ponti punya anak." Ponti sangat malu dan mengurung anaknya. Selepas 5 tahun, anaknya keluar dari rumah dan terkejutlah seorang neneklalu menjerit,"Oi! Pontianak."Lekatlah nama pontianak.

6.   Hantu Penanggal - Seorang ibu tiri yang kejam, hobinya menanggalkan kain anak tirinya selain kain lakinya. Dah terbiasa,dia rasa seronok pulak. Dia melebarkan hobinya dengan menanggalkan kain orang-orang kampung. Hebohlah satu kampung "Lari..lari.....Penanggal." Bila dia melihat sesuatu yang menarik seperti kurap, panau, kayap dan anu, dia pun mengilai semahunya.

7. Hantu Pocong - Berasal dari Puchong. Nama sebenarnya Amat Garpu. Dia ni suka sangat menipu.  Senang cerita, kaki cong le. Bila dia mati, terlompat-lompatlah dia nak pergi cong orang dan orang akan memekik "Pucong! Pucong!" bila melihatnya.

8.  Hantu Gulung - Berasal dari Sumatera, ada seorang lelaki yang suka mengulung rokok. Tabiat dia suka mengulung rokok keretek asal daun. Setalah bertahun-tahun dia mengulung daun keretek sampai tak ada lagi yang nak digulung , ia pon mengulung apa-apa yang tercapai. Seperti gulung tikar, gulung kain, gulung selimut dan macam macam lagi. Dia mati pon pasal dia tergulung dalam kain kapan. Jadi, orang panggil dia Mat gulung atau Hantu Gulung.

 

9. Hantu Polong - Berasal dari keluarga sukan, Pak Long ni suka jaga stable kuda. Dia suka sangat nak masuk sukan Polo tapi di-tentang oleh ahli-ahli kelab kuda. Satu hari Pak Long mati di tendang kuda dan untuk menghormati beliau mereka namakan dia Polong bersempena nama sukan Polo dan Pak Long.

 

10. Hantu Tetek - Ada seorang lelaki ni memang suka melihat tetek pompan. Dia bernikah pon pasal dia nak menghisap tetek pompan. Kerja dia kahwin-cerai kawin-cerai supaya dia dapat menghisap berjenis jenis tetek yang berbagai bagai bentuk dan saiz. Isteri terakhir dia membutakan mata dia supaya dia tak dapat cari tetek pompan lain. Selepas menceraikan isteri terakhirnya, kehidupan dia terumbang ambing. Dia tak dapat lagi menghisap tetek pompan. Last sekali orang nampak dia mati dengan bibir dia masih menghisap sebiji buah papaya yang menyerupai tetek.

 

Conversational Chinese!!

By You know who I am...

Yo guys!! Long time no talk! I know by now all of you are sick of the Poker Face incessently playing on my blog. Well, maybe I will change it next time lah. Now very lazy, that’s why my blog is like, so dead… Nevermind, I think the pacemaker buried somewhere in my blog’s previous posts will keep it alive. =)

 

Anyways, yesterday was CCP class. What made it different, was that the class was *much* bigger than the previous week’s classes (a pathetic 5 ppl turns up every week…). Why? Because there was pizza!!!

Si Min pointing to pizza!

 

Pizza protector

Yup, I just realised that I never showed you all our teacher. Yeah, she was an ex-TPJcian so she was already well-acquainted with the school. Well, before we could eat the pizzas, we had to all break up into 4 groups and find words in chinese related to certain themes that she gave us. My group, consisting of Raihan and Munir, had do give 15 word related to the Natural Elements. We then had to present to the class:

Presentation

Munir: Pole dancer 

We also took group photos!! Will upload more next time!! (hopefully)

Munir...

 MAKAN TIME!!!!

Yeah, we all had only one slice of pizza each. However, for me, 1 is never enough. So, me and Munir had to “sing” the 12345678 song in chinese from the first track. Lol, we kept on mixing up the numbers… Haha…

 

So after the whole fiasco, we sat down near the MLEP room benches to go through some chapters before ending the lesson.

 

WAIT, THE STORY HAS NOT ENDED THERE

 

Since I always go home with Munir after CCP, I would have to transfer to bus no. 69 after alighting at the stop in front of his house. While waiting, we crooned our hearts out to the bus stop audience, 2 songs: Izinku pergi and New Divide. Ah, the melodious sound of our voices, we know we should have been in Singapore Idol, but oh well, we had other aspirations…

 

CCP is fun!! [too bad 3 sessions left =( ]

By You know who I am...

Ok, so here’s another of my “weekly” music posts. Now, I’m sure that if I mention the name, “Stefani Germanotta”, you would draw a blank face. However, she’s none other than Lady GaGa! I know, some of you think I have a sort of Lady GaGa thing going on, well I can only say that, you can’t read my poker face.

New blog skin

By You know who I am...

Hey people! I decided to change my blogskin to this one, which I think is very cool. I dunno why the tagboard appears twice, I have to fix that later. And one more thing, since I changed skin, my list of links went with it so, if you want me to relink, juz post a tag on the tagboard.

Its time for change

 

Transformers: Revenge of the fallen

By You know who I am...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen promo posterHI PEOPLE!!!!!! I know its been a looong time since I blogged, but hey, you gotta give me a chance! SA is around the corner and I’ve yet to start revision, lol. I won’t post about my holiday to KL coz, you know, some stuff are just personal.

Anyway, just now, me, Munir and Ali went to watch Transformers: Revenge of the fallen!

 3 tickets, Ali, Haikal, Munir

To sum it up in one word: PHENOMENAL. Or, in Ali’s terms, “steaming”. Nope, I’m too lazy to write a review of the movie coz its getting late.

We went to watch the movie to celebrate Ali’s b’day which was supposed to be last monday. We also made him a card and bought a pair of soccer boots as a present. This sms should sum up his feelings:

Scr000034

“We” as in: Raihan (she’s the one who thought this whole b’day thing up, she deserves the most credit), Yours truely =) and Munir. Faiz, Samantha, Wei Kwang, Umar and Zaki also contributed to paying for his present. On a special note, me, Raihan and Daryl just happened to bump into Ms Nawal this morning at McDonalds. She offered to pay $10 of his present. How sweet!

I want my birthday (*ahem*9 OCTOBER*ahem*) to be this big too!

 

Infocomm

By You know who I am...

Last Friday we hade infocomm software training. We were tasked by Mr Melvin to create a logo for the infocomm club and a short video so, im gonna post my creation here.

Intel infocomm logo I based it off the original Intel Core 2 Extreme logo, which I presume ALL computer geeks out there drool to have one. However, I' dontch really like that TPJC logo there… too out-of-context…

Here is my video to “promote” infocomm club… Was staring at the com for like, 2 hours before I could think of something, and with 30 min left before the deadline, I just came up with this random crap…

 

I thought that the instrumental of We Made You had a catchy tune, so I decided to put it in.

 

Long time since I posted something

By You know who I am...

Hey people! I know, it has been a terribly long time since I blogged about anything… Yes, this is what happens when people lead very busy lives. CAN’T WAIT FOR POKEMON HEART GOLD & SOUL SILVER!!!!!! Haha. Anyways, here’s one of those songs that I listened too. God, I have to stop using this as a lame excuse for posting something here… That pacemaker I posted hopefully should still be working.

(How could I have forgotten to post this song??? This brings back memories…)

Music I listen to

By You know who I am...

Remember when I said that every week I would share with the world one song that I listen to? Well, here is one track from one of my most favouritest singer, BoA!

Winter Love

BoA (Note: This is her actual name, not some abbreviation or whatnots…)

Winter Love Single Cover

Kanji LyricsRomanizationEnglish translation

冬の妖精たちが輝き 舞い降りてくる

何もすることないから 笑顔の写真 くちづけた

約束した映画の長い列に 二人してもう 並ぶことはないの?

だけど 心は そばにいるから

友達にも miss you もう二度と 戻れない

あなたが 好きで 会いたくて
キスが 百億の 雪を 伝うの

どこかで 偶然に 巡り 会える日まで

忘れなくても baby 好きでも いいですか?

ずっと 忘れない…

たった 一人ぼっちの 自分に 気づいた 瞬間

本当の 寂しさがね 溢れては また 込み上げる

人を愛す そんな想いを 今

大切だって 忘れないって 思う

この アドレスを 何度 かえても

その 声も 夢も 私を 離れないの

時が 流れて 違う 恋しても

あなたを想い出すでしょう

出會えた 運命が 交わした ぬくもりが

「あなたで良かった」って 心から言えるよ

いつか 逢えるまで …

未來は can't stop やって来る

悲しいほど はやく forever

幸せだって 傷付いたって

誰かを 愛する 時 just alive

あなたが 好きで 会いたくて

キスが百億の雪を つたうの

どこかで偶然に巡り 会える日まで

忘れなくても baby 好きでもいいですか?

ずっと 忘れない…

As shining winter fairies come floating down

I kissed your smiling picture because I had nothing else to do

At that long line outside of the movies, we vowed

To never stand in line here together again

But since my heart is next to yours

I still miss you even as a friend

But I can't turn back ever again

I love you, I want to see you again

With a kiss, expressed alongside ten billion snowflakes

Until the day that we happen to cross paths someplace

Baby, even if you forget me

Is it okay for me to still love you?
I'll never forget you
Since the moment that I was alone,

I've realised what true loneliness is
These overwhelming feelings in my heart that won't stop flowing out

Now, the way to love a person

Is so important that I think a person shouldn't forget it

No matter how many times my address changes

I'll never let go of that voice or that dream

Even if you love someone else as time flows by

I'll still remember you
Our destined meeting and the warmth we shared

I'm glad that it was you, and I can say it from my heart

Until we meet someday again

We can't stop the future from coming

The feeling of sadness can quickly become forever

Even if I get wounded when I'm happy

When I've fallen in love with a someone
Just alive

I love you, I want to see you again

With a kiss, expressed alongside ten billion snowflakes

Until the day that we happen to cross paths someplace

Baby, even if you forget me
Is it okay for me to still love you?

I'll never forget you

 

Sick...

By You know who I am...

Was horribly sick this past few days. Contracted the flu, though fortunately it was not the Influenza A. Anyways, I skipped school on friday, which meant that I did not participate in the edurace, which meant that after friday prayers, I had to endure the long queue and strict H1N1 procedure at the polyclinic.

The staff there, or rather, the temp staff (coz they seem to be youths whowant to cash in on this outbreak, anyway) took asked me whether i had runny nose(like duhh i have runny nose, else why would i be holding a tissue??),fever, coughing. They then tied a mask to my face and sent me to a seperate part of the polyclinic. Well, from that part onwards, everything else was routine. Ugh, have to get back to homework...

I want another mc...

Single

By You know who I am...

Yesterday Linkin Park released their latest single, New Divide, which I felt was worthy of an honoured spot on my blog’s weekly Choice Songs column before a week has passed.

New Divide

As made famous by

Linkin Park

LP new divide

NEW DIVIDE
LYRICS BY MIKE SHINODA AND CHESTER BENNINGTON

I remembered black skies / the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash / as time began to blur
Like a startling sign / that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight / but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide / the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in / between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss / in every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret / and each goodbye
was a mistake to great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

 

Music I listen to

By You know who I am...

Ok, to make up for the lack of posts, I've decided to share with y’all the songs I listen to, complete with lyrics and album art.

To start the ball rolling, here’s:

Lose Yourself

As made famous by

Eminem

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Hook]
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

 

Stuff that had happened

By You know who I am...

A lot has happened to me lately, and that has hindered me from making regular blog posts. The amount of homework has increased exponentially and continues to rise in relation to time. I constantly find myself sleeping at 3am just to complete my tutorials…

Anyways, I was DAMN lucky to get a very good group for pw! 3 girls, 1 guy… not bad eh? Yeah, someone named our group “Haikal’s angels”. We were like, WTF??!?! Worse, our pw teacher was beginning to like the sound of it. Lucky we had chem that day… cause now, we are,(drumrolls):

             ENTROPY

 

For those who are unaware, entropy means ‘messy’ in lameman’s terms. OUR GPP KENA REJECTED!!!! WTH sia!!!!!! We spent like, 1 whole day trying to perfect it and it was flatly rejected… Oklah, our idea did suck, but at least he acknowledged that the contents, scope and analysis were meeting expectations. We just had to come up with a new idea. O ya, our idea was ‘Conservation of the Dark Sky’. Is that laughter I hear? Well, let me put it this way, without light pollution, our skies would more or less look like this:

Stunning no? Well, whatever… now we just have to work overtime to find another idea… Its gonna take a while but we wil pull through, hopefully.

 

I LOVE CCP =) (Haikal! Jangan asik nak rembat orang aja! Rembat Munir boleh. Untuk aku… kitorang kan same same, jadi mana kau boleh terajang aku?=)

TPJC newspaper collection!!!!!

By You know who I am...


Started off at block 248 today where we would be spending our Saturday morning collecting newspapers and old clothes from the residents of the aforementioned block, 247, 268 and 296. Met my group, Alicia and Rebecca and we hurried off to start.


It was very messy from the start as there was no proper organization. We started off from the bottom floor of this block which has NO lifts at all (smart eh?). Knock knock at doors saying "We are from Tampines Junior College. We are here to collect newspapers and old clothes to be sold for recycling and the money donated to Dover Park Hospiece." Sian... whole morning say that...

Whenever we see this


we will always get excited, coz no need to knock on doors. If the resident leaves newspapers outside with our flyer attached, we are free to collect it! Then, there is this one problem, the residents keep on thinking im a chinese!!!!! Why? Im not malay enough meh?!

Anyways, we all went to the second block to collect newspapers, and there was where the fun was. One malay guy, gave us so much newspapers, the lift was filled with it... Lucky got lift at every floor this time round. But then, the lift a bit screwed up coz when we tried to unload the newspapers, the lift started making a lot of noise and kept on threatening to close the door on us. So... we threw the papers out of the lift like nobody's business!!!! The result:


All we collected from the block were dumped here


under the care and share of Ms Peh (not in pict).

Last block... actually it wase'nt so tireing lah... We did it in our own stride... I just skip the grandfather story lah. All that we collected from this block, we dumped here.


When the collecting lorry finally came, we had to load it up. Damn fun coz the class was like, line up from the dumping area to the open door.


Then we passed the stuff to eash other!

Gareth and Azam... those jokers..


Joel ah, so strong...


To be Frank (in class joke), it was a good day...
 

Sleep...

By You know who I am...
Its 3.50 am, why am I not sleeping...? I dunno, chatting wif Ali for like, nearly 4 hours... I want to sleep!!!
 

Here's your long awaited post!!!!

By You know who I am...
First of all, im sooo

for not updating my blog for some time... You know, JC life is tough. I was also down with the flu for a large part of this week, so you know, my life is not just all fun, laughter and joy.

Today was earth hour,


and as you guessed it, I participated in the "event"!!!

Here are some pictures i took at home in the darkness:
My bedroom:


My Living Room:


My toilet:



The darkness is what gives them a mysterious feeling... Anyway, it was just an hour in darkness, nothing much. I would say it is one step to greenifying the world.

Went back to Dunman last friday to take my SGC with Ali and Munir.


What shocked me, was all the huge changes that have happened in a very short span of time since our graduation. The school facade was like, totally revamped from before.


The canteen even has 2 LCD TVs!!! Now I'm beginning to wish that I had been retained, or went on to sec 5...



We went to the canteen afterwards where we meet the Denise, Wei Kwang, Jin Jia and Sing Chuen.




Of course lah, from the moment we all met, we started chatting about our time in Dunman, how we miss our dear teachers,



how the new PE shirt sux, how we never got to experience the new facilities and how our old classroom has been renovated...


Anyways, we then took a walk around the school, looking at the changes that had happened while waiting for Sam, Weijie and Dinesh to collect their SGCs.



The school is looking spanking new already, though I still feel that the badge changes are awkward...


Then, we all met again at the canteen, and continue to bitch around... I followed Dinesh and Ali to the pull-up bars near the front gate (keyword: followed. What for I do the pull-ups?!). Yalah, they all can pull themselves up like, so many times... I only one time can...

Went back to the canteen after that. We all felt like, its time to go home, so we slowly walked to the main gate and who should we find? Ashley, in his full VJ uni, looking as shabby as ever. We all talked a bit before finally parting ways again...

I miss the sofa and giant mirror at the back of the class...


Some crazy people's antics after maths consultation..



And how 4 of us would always conduct our daily prayers at the back of the class...
And how the class would normally bitch around or just slack off at the sofas, in the comfortable aircon...

Ok, maybe not the night studies, they were very tiring...


We still have speech day to look forward to


Miss-miss also life still have to move on...
