ICCS & 101 Dalmations?

Sorry for the "no time to update", or totally "MIA-ing" in blogging people. Well, I've got no excuse actually. Anyway, moving on.


ICCS was great. For those who have no idea what that is, it's the international coastal cleanup at Sungei Loyang.
I was grouped with Jeslynn, Aainaa, Jia Hao and hong chiong.
The whole thing was how i expected it to be. We got stuck in muddy areas, had to walk through pencil roots, got poked in the eye by some of the branches. But it was FUN. And to add to it, it actually rained halfway. Was disappointed that it got canceled, but we managed to walk through the stream which was around knee high. This event actually made me realize that i was the only goofy one around. Because, while others were really concentrating on picking up the rubbish, i was looking at the crabs, snails and so on. And this somehow, pissed my team mates. hahah, i couldn't help it man. I'm just curious.

Anyway, that's just a brief summary on what happened. I don't have any pictures with me, so i wouldn't bother elaborating or creating any stories like the one i did for Alkaff(Alkaff is love!). Let's just move on.


Anyway, as you can see from my blog title it states something about 101. Well, it isn't the dogs but 101 things on the dumbest/idiotic/frustrating things that people do to piss me off. Let's just start.

Oh, i don't think i would manage to reach a hundred and one, but let's just see how it goes.

1. People telling each other secrets while there are other people around.

Let's make it easier to understand:
There was a meet-up with a group of three great friends. Everything was going well. But suddenly, A walked to B and whispered something to her, leaving C all awkward and stupid-looking.

Now obviously, there was a long pause of silence. i mean how rude can it be when everyone is laughing and then suddenly you had to be so idiotic to tell a secret to someone, making that odd silence?!

Well, I've experienced this odd silence before, or should i say, ALOT of times. Not only do these idiotic people tell secrets, some of them write it down and show it to the partner in crime. I felt awkward and wanted to just leave the place. I mean if you had so much secret to tell, and if you loved telling others what the secret is, then just invite them! Why do people like these have to embarrassed people like us? And now, i feel stupid for not walking away. I should have.

2. People telling me important things/tasks to be done, last minute.

I seriously can't stand this. Like a few weeks ago, a friend messaged me like 5 plus in the morning telling me that i had to do/bring some things to school. I didn't have the things and so i "screwed" her, replying " how the fucking hell do you expect me to get the things at 5 plus in the morning when school starts at 7?!"
I hate this alot, and to those people who have done this to me, but have not received nasty replies back, just you wait. Pfft.

3.People forgetting to tell me something important.

I don't care if you have a better life to busy with, if it's important, tell. Don't give fucked up excuses plus innocent face which goes " oh, i forgot."

I admit that i have been forgetful but i have NEVER forgotten to inform others if they have to play a part in something. If i forget something, i would probably forget it only if it involves me.
You know when you forget something, you're practically sabotaging that person, be it directly or indirectly. And that sucks okay.

4. People getting all the praises for doing something great, but the actual person/people who were actually working their ass off, didn't get any praise at all, not even a comment, instead they got looked down on.

Now, I've got alot of occasions to link this to. But I'd rather not, for the fact that people would definitely start flooding my tag board with hate mails. Whatever. Just know that it doesn't hurt to comment people. Great leaders get the praises and get all the crap thrown at them to. Leaders bring the team to fame first, always before themselves. I guess this is what happens when you're divided into two groups in school: Student councillors, and Student population.

5. Speaking of Student Leaders and Student population, the next one is about how stupid show off twirps actually like to compare. Saying "oh, you're in the student population." or " Student leaders have badges". Screw that. So what if you have a badge or a red tie? I know, some of you might say: you were once us.
Yes i agree, but one of the reason why i quit was because of you guys.
I must say that you guys did a GREAT job for planning of what-ever, i can't remember. And for that i must give you a Standing ovation. But when it comes to responsibility, i doubt many of you have that. And the more i think of it, the more i agree with Redzuan. But one thing is different between the two of us, i didn't say you guys suck, i don't go around discriminating you guys. I mean i do have friends you are student leaders. But i believe that there are greater ones in the school, that have not been "standing out" yet. Sometimes, i feel it's biased, but what can i say? Different people have different points of views.
Student leaders shouldn't be blasting their hand phones in class, reading other subject book/story book, scolding vulgarities, having to wear a hairband but with her fringe all out if it?. and to even have their culottes folded or above the knee. I mean, if "Mr.Siva's one percent" can do it, why not the rest of us?

I know this may be insulting and you guys may start saying that Kethlyn sucks and she's a bitch and all. But if you're really mature, you should take all these remarks seriously, and work on it with your team. i mean, I'm not only attacking the SC, but the SLCs too. Because some of the incidents mentioned above do involve some of the SLCs. And come on now, to think you guys are going to be our parliament, you gotta' do a better job than this right?

6.People who really need to grab attention.

You know it comes to a point where you're a attention seeker, or a person you really is outstanding.
Attention seekers, well at least to me, means that you really need people to notice you, and that you'll probably die if no one does. Attention seekers can also be people who one a certain "someone" to at least respond, or turn their heads to look at you. for example: B was talking to C and A(attention seeker) noticed that. That's when all the fun starts. A will go over and interrupt, or try to say something funny. If B thanks C for something, A will also try to figure out something to thank C for. Or the whole thing can twist. If A and B were shopping or in school, and sees C, A will start laughing aloud, trying to see if C notices. Or A will practically stalk C, call C every now and then, or just tag along with C, "fit in", if you know what i mean.

Well, peeps, I'll stop here for now. I'll update soon. And try to complete the 101 thingy okay. Till here, study hard, and good luck for the exams.


Oh, and just to let you know, the above things mentioned aren't supposed to hurt anyone. It's just my way of voicing out my opinions man.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated!

Instead of studying, i took time off the weekends to bake cookies. Yes, i CAN bake. I,myself was pretty shocked that i cook bake. Hahah.All i could say is, great accomplishment, and you guys should try my cookies.

Anyway, further updates on "101 dalmations?" I don't think I'll create a new post until I've completed at least 50? of this crap. I should say it's pretty tough typing all those hate-tags out because not only will i make more enemies, I'd spent more time trying to push mini cube-like letter looking thingys with my fingers. haha, okay crap. Let's start.


7. You guys know that i dislike the SLCs pretty much. And it's not because I'm jealous okay, you dumb fucks. Although i dislike them, i have a greater tendency to hate those who give the SLCs a pretty hard life. I'm not being biased or anything but sometimes i feel that those who give the prefects a hard time, are such disappointments. Not only to themselves, the school but their parents too. You never know who's watching you perform your stupid tricks or if you preferred them to be called " cool stuff". It's just plain stupid. I'll show an example.
There was one day when one of the prefects asked this bunch of sec 2 girls (who practically had 3/4 of their hair in front of their faces, thinking it's all so bloody pretty and cool.), to move to the Quadrangle. What pissed me off was that they totally ignored the prefect,although he was trying his best to not raise his voice at them. Furthermore, they remained sitted on the floor and every time the prefect asked them to move, they cover their ears or they purposely talk louder so as to PRETEND to not hear the prefect's orders. Now in this scenario, it shows perfectly that this stupid bunch of girls are actually digging their own grave. I wouldn't blame the prefect if he called Mr Siva to handle this. But if i were the prefect, i would go up to them, slap them real hard and stare at them. I mean, what's the point in trying to be defiant against the prefects? They have their roles to play and they're just doing their job and if you don't want to get into trouble, you jolly well move your ass to the quadrangle. I think this bunch of girls are retarded. Either they were taught by their parents to Pretend to not listen by covering their ears and talk louder, or they think it's so cool. Like i said, they're retarded, for the fact that they already have 3/4 hair covering their face. So much for trying to be glam. Such a fashion disaster, altogether combined with their irregular folded culottes and their stupid shirts tucked out or with lace.
I used to be like this when i was younger. But thank god that somehow Maturity came to me at the right time, and slapped me back to reality. I guess you girls need to wait for maturity to fall on you, or i could slap you back to reality. Easy.

8. This one affects me the most. I don't know why but i have one of the strongest hate to these bunch of people. Te ones who hate their parents and don't cherish them at all.
If you don't know, your mom had to practically go through 9 months carrying YOU in her stomach. She had to suffer so much for you, just so that you could be born into this world. Further more, she had to lose so much blood and withstand all the pain just to give birth to you on your birthday, which after that, they try to have at least a cake bought or done for you annually, just so that you could celebrate your birthday. While your mom was pregnant, your dad and your mom(read: She's still pregnant!) had to work their asses off, just to provide hot meals for you everyday. And after you were born, they had to buy clothes for you, toys to entertain you, and eventually send yo off to school. Over the years, you demand for clothes and new stuff would increase, you think hanging around with parents ain't that cool, you'd prefer to hang around with your friends. But think, could your friends bring you into this life? You hang around with your friends( those type who hate their parents too) too often that you got pretty much influenced by them, or as i put it, you got brainwashed. You start hating your parents so much that you hate going home, or when you're at home, you lock yourself in your room, only to come out for relief/toilet breaks. Do you have any idea how cool your parents are? i mean you can actually make them cool, yes,by yourself. Talk to them, share your feelings with them, and update them on all the newest fashion/gossip/games and so on. I used to be detached from my family too, but i made an effort. Whenever i came home from school, i would tell my parents what happened, from the funniest stuff that happened, to the dreadful mother tongue lessons. And in return, they shared their days with me. It was meaningful because i felt loved, just because we could click well enough. Don't come home late, not informing your parents, don't yell at them, slam doors at them. Because you never know how much they had sacrificed just to bring you into this world. They may have even given up their dreams just to let you live. They don't owe you a living, in fact, you owe them tonnes more. Their hard earned money is spent by you just so that you could be "in" and follow the trend just to be cool. You're a part of them, and you'll always regret why you weren't close enough to them, once you lose them. So cherish them ad let them feel loved, in return, you'll be loved.

9. You're probably bored right now, for all the long, lengthy paragraphs, but what can i say, explanations are always long. Anyway, the next one is about people, especially students who have no respect for the adults. Like in school, we(including me) talk about teachers without addressing them with Mr/Ms/Mdm/Mrs sometimes. But i don't go to an extend where we address them or call them/talk to them without addressing them as Mr/Ms/Mdm/Mrs. I'll quote an example again.
Friday, a teacher was going home and this bunch of idiotic girls who were so attention seeking, with their culottes and hair, and their ridiculously loud voices, noticed the teacher going home and instead of saying Goodbye Mr(name), they actually shouted (name) and waved idiotically at him. I was obviously pissed off. I mean, who the hell are you to address an adult by his name? Stupid or what? Teachers/staffs should be respected, and not have their names idiotically shouted across the canteen, to the quadrangle. The teacher was pissed, of course, and asked them to lower down the volume. I guess he was just nice enough to not spit at them or yank their ears off and tell them that they lacked the word "Mr" in front of his name. Stupid kids. hahah. This includes stupid kids who talk so rudely to the teachers too. I understand if you're brought up that way, but like i said, adults don't owe you a living. If they reprimand you, it's probably your fault, so quit acting innocent. Stupid.


10. People who always think that Indian are filthy idiots, the males are practically chee-ko-pehs(inclusive of Bangladesh workers). Now people, if you think that indians are such idiots, think again. They're just like you humans, just because they're darker, doesn't mean there's a necessity to insult them. See, i'm half indian too and i can't stand the fact that almost 1/2 of my friends have this thinking towards Indians. Indians can be as successful as the other races, for example, the almighty subhas anandan. The famous lawyer who won almost every case and freed accused/suspects of murder,rape or whatsoever. If you don't want people to judge you for how you look, then don't judge people for how they look, or just because they're Indians.


And again, I'll end here. My fingers are numb, I'm sick and down with gastric flu(for the past two weeks, and it sucks) and my dogs' sleeping on my bed. Okay, random.

Holidays

Teachers and Staff appreciation Day ended the school days and started the one week holiday. And again, i was the compere for TSAD. It was a blast, working with syakirah, aida and asyraf. But i kinda' felt that I've been appearing on stage far too many times. Hoho.

And i think i made a bad impression to ms Sim. She dresses in long pants and long sleeves now. You know, the formal kind. And not the "pe attire" like anymore.

Anyway, the one week holidays weren't like one to me at all. I had to go back to school almost everyday and till now, I've left my homework untouched. The fact is, i don't even know where i put them!

The holidays weren't quite "happening" for me but i did get to relive my childhood memories, which is to sit on 'swings'! I'm still waiting for Jing yee to send me the photos so that i can show you guys.

But for now, let this post be as boring as ever. I'll update soon, i hope. :)

Investiture

I was the emcee for the Student Leaders' Investiture and boy, it wasn't fun at all!
It was a serious occasion and i had to hold back myself. The rules for me, was that i had to be firm and assertive. Screw that.

I was caught for my inappropriate hair-do and had to comb it down. Could sense the disappointment in most of the HEADs as i did not follow their criteria. Whatever.

Natalie lost her speech, Mr Siva's speech got screwed up and i was practically the hopeless one who couldn't explain why the events mentioned above, happened. I was flabbergasted. I couldn't help it, must've been the uncomfortable standard of standing in heels for so long.

And the photographer took ugly photos of me. Pfft.


Oh, and again, photos later.

There comes a time where we need a pause in Life

So here I am, back into blogging. This has been in my draft for so long. Oh what the heck.

Let's just go into the details for all the events that happened so far.

Let's start with RHD.

Well, RHD was pretty UNfabulous, for the fact that i missed out all the bazaar,activities and FOOD! I was the emcee for the concert, together with Faten. But boy, it was so disastrous! The performances were told to us last minute and we had to plan the Cat-walk(last minute as well) for the 3R and best dressed participants. And the hardest thing was that i was dressed in Aainaa's Malay costume, and it took me ages just to go up the steps.

The concert was not as fun as we thought, with Faten and I blurting "fuck" on the microphone every once or twice.

I felt bad, as it was partly the emcee's fault if the event goes cuckoo. But whatever.Sometimes we score, sometimes we don't.


Anyway, moving on.. to National Day

The WRSS Bay Ambassadors are one of a kind, and i mean it in a good way. We had a so called opening performance for the National Day concert in school where we sang "will you". Everyone were goofy up on stage, trying to remember the steps that were taught and trying to have fun all at the same time.

After our performance, we went and got ourselves seated, and all throughout the concert, we were practically screaming our heads off at anything or anyone that came up on stage. I still remember Aziz, with his red and white face. We were his number one fan and kept screaming like some bitches in some rock concert, whenever he came up on stage to receive a prize.

And at the end of the day, We, the bay ambassadors went up on stage again, to sing with the teachers and student leaders' council "stand up for Singapore". I remember accidentally hitting Malek with my Singapore flag,while all of us were jumping around. But i guess he forgot about it and enjoyed himself most because he got to hit the photographer with every paper plane that he threw.
Malek + Paper planes + photographer = Happy boy (Malek).

After the concert, the bay ambassadors had photo=taking with i-forgot-who.

After that, everyone were told to go home early because we had to usher the next day, which was National Day.



And then the next day came, and we, WRS bay ambassadors were on duty again. Most of us were pretty hyped up and sang throughout the whole day, even on the bus home.
But this day was a special day, not only was it National Day, but it was a day where WRS students are tasked to pick up the bags of litter, to promote the "bag-a-litter" campaign and also make Singapore alitter free environment. Oh well, so much for my speech.. hahah.

AND I STILL WANT THE ORANGE NDP BAG!!!

Anyway, being the Deputy Chief for WRS Bay ambassadors, all i want to say to the bay ambassadors is that you guys really did a great job. I mean you guys have shown me how well you could take up the responsibilities when given to you. And i super love you guys for being enthusiastic. Though childish, but we're still kids right?
All of you have shown how mush you guys have bonded together,even for some guys and girls to, if you know what i mean.

Anyway, i would like to thank all of you, for making my part easier so that i dont have to scream and yell at everyone all the time. Just keep up the good work people, we shall all celebrate together some day!!!


I know this is long, but let me just complete this last one.

2E3 BBQ reunion, and farewell "party" for MR Wong.

The day started where i met Syuhada at Causeway point and we headed to Parkway Parade. The both of us were anxious because we had a feeling of taking the wrong bus. Crazy stuff started coming up, where we thought about the bus breaking down halfway and Syuhada said it reminded her of jeepers creepers. See what i mean?


Anyway, when we reached our destination, we had to wait for Malek, who looked like an innocent kid from far. HEH, was his trademark. haha
After Malek came, we were ready to go the the BBQ, but here was the huge problem, we didn't know how to go there. So Malek with his innocent looks went to ask around, and a kind couple actually helped us get there.

Stupid thing was, Malek actually knew how to go there. Pfft.
Anyway, the underpass was pretty scary where the thought of seeing the supernatural kept invading into our minds. Anyway, we came out alive, and we headed to our pit. Little did we know that the bloody pit was so fucking far that all three of us almost cried. We even said that we might shed 20 pounds or more when we finally reach the pit. And Malek said he would look like some aneroxic kid, since he's already thin.

Fortunately, we made it before the food was all gone. But the one thing that pissed us off was that, they actually began eating without us. But when we came, the three of us immediately conquered the pit and no one was allowed to go near it. Anyone who did, either got trashed by us or simply walked away as we took their food away.

After awhile, Mr wong came and it was no surprise to us. We just went : oh he's here. Whatever.. Food was pretty good, except the fact that Syuhada tried the sea coconut and made us try it too. We even nicknamed it "cicak tail." And Bryan was so happy that he learned a new malay word. "Cicak tail". ahaha. I sometimes wonder what the hell is wrong with him. Anyway, moving on...

The BBQ ended quite late as Bryan, Pearlyn, Syuhada, Kuan Hoe and I sat around, talking about the supernatural(Malek left early to meet someone, whatever that means. It was a really cool place to talk about these sort of stuff as it freaks you out every once in awhile. And the Sea breeze helped to make it eerie too. Weird, i know.
Supernatural talk was over and done with, and weird topics like dogs, BGR and parents came in. It became more of a compare and contrast session. Oh, and not to forget the counselling session with Kuan Hoe. It was cool to see how each of us had different opinions and looked at each situation from different perspectives. Syuhada and i were basically critising the fairer sex. Weird, but we felt that the fairer sex sometimes do stupid stuff just to get attention. I guess we're the In-betweens. Whatever..

Our trip back home was rather suckish. Took taxi from East coast to Woodlands MRT and we all walked home. I was the last to reach home. I was quite furious during this trip because of some pussies. Anyways, I'll just let bygones be bygones.Let's move on..

Reached home, bathed and watched TV all the way. Headed to my room after awhile and switched on the computer. Played some stupid games for the sake of passing time. Sleep finally took me over as the sandman placed sand into my eyes and the God of Beds kept calling my name over and over again. It was 9am, and i dozed off.

I'm back

I know that I've been on Hiatus, but i'm back! This post has been in draft for sooo long.

Anyways, just a short post on the updates that happened in the past few weeks.


Firstly, we had the CSSP challenge camp. It was, quite disappointing to me and the other NE leaders in WRS. Firstly, we thought that it would be Fun with a capital F. But it wasn't really fantastic. The environment was not really that friendly to us, because the toilets were disgusting(with plants that looked as though "Grudge" was coming out form the toilet.), we had only 5 minutes to bathe and we had to drink dilute milo for all four days. Hahaha.
And what really changed my mood was that most of the Facilitators told us that they actually came for this camp just so that they could earn points for the NYAA. I mean, as a facilitator, you shouldn't put it as though you were "forced to" isn't it? Form my point of view, i think that leaders should never show their worst side to people, they should try to make it joyous for their team.
But worst still, i heard from Meiyin and Aainaa was that their facilitators actually slept infront of them, while they were actually supposed to do some of the activities.

But anyhow, my team, Jaguar 5 were a bunch of crazy people. Shy at first, but on the last day, our group really bonded together. We even had a 7-up Yam seng. hahah. They're a really great bunch of people from all over Singapore. And i really mean ALL OVER. There were people staying in Changi, Seng kang, Bukit Batok, Yishun and Woodlands. I'll upload the photos some other day.

Anyway, my group is planning a meeting on 11th August. Hopefully all goes well, and majority can go for it!!

But the great thing about the CSSP camp was that we actually learned alot of things, from SMRT derailment to the different types of fire extinguishers, to the methods of bandanging, to stretchers.


Secondly, Volleyball camp. Although i did not attend volleyball camp, i got the updates from those who went. And from what i know, the team really bonded together during the camp, with team bonding games and set games. And our Captain and Vice captain are Cheryl and Qian wen, respectively. Well, girls, what i think, is that we should keep up the good work.

Let's all just put the hatred and misunderstanding out of court can we? I find it of no use if we really don't bond together but just pretend to be. Like i said, win or lose, we are still a team. I've been to camps and i know how tough it is to compliment and encourage more than scold. But if we ourselves want others to cheer for us, we should make the first move in cheering for others. Agree?

It's better to compete with each other, to improve on your skills, then to see who can bitch about each other so much. Compete for skills, not for gossip or bad mouthing. And i mean the whole team. We should trust each and everyone of our teamamtes and not trust someone, and negelct the existence of another. We should prove to people that the Volleyball team is not a bunch of people to bully because we stand up for each other, and out each other before us.

Not much time if left for us and we really need to improve as a team. Let's not blame others for the mistakes, but blame ourselves for not making an effort to help, okay?
But anyway, I'm sure we did great for all trainings. Let's strive to get to the Nationals together!


And lastly, I'm actually attending the NDP bay ambassador thingy, as an usher. Or what most would say, Sai kang warrior. It's pretty tiring( imagining you standing for 12 hours, of course with breaks in between. And having to eat KFC for the saturdays that we're on duty... Pfft.)

I admit that it's tiring but it is really fun. Firstly because the team that i am in, E2, is pretty fun. (Again, photos later.. )

Being able to be in this thing, enable to be exposed to more new faces and to work with them.

By having to usher the public, we meet normal people, famous actors/actresses, artistes and even the Ministers. So i guess this whole thing actually expose to the important people in Singapore, from the ministers, to the Army personnels, to the Police, and finally to the people who actually planned and are running this NDP event.


Unfortunately, apart form all this fun, I have to admit that my studies are slightly neglected. The Examination period is a few weeks from now, and yet, I am still busy with the Sec2 banners, the Sec2 camp ten year series, the meetings for the NDP and the actual days that we are assigned on duty for the ushering. Pretty hectic, but Secondary 3 life is supposed to be one of the best , full of events right?

Anyway, I'll try to update more, with pictures and all.


I shall end of with a video of one of the cheers that the groups from Jaguar did.

Enjoy!
