As expected, we won the horny night :). Thanks to all the tenors for staying back yesterday for rehearsal, and especially Wayne and Keith for coming up with the script! We must retain our title next year. I pity the basses because they actually have something nice to show but they were not really very prepared, and I couldn't hear some parts. As for the girls, I think their skits were quite funny, but lame, because they claimed to be doing something sick behind the blanket, but when revealed, they were actually doing something else. Hahah. We tenors are more direct...

(to the tune of Masquerade)
Masturbate,
This is something we can make.
Masturbate,
This is very natural and it is exciting!
There!

(to the tune of Gaudete)
People say I attract flies
But it's just a bunch of lies
Can't you see I'm very nice
I can make you mesmerised!


... and they live hornily ever after.

Just to post some ancient stuffs first.

Last Sunday I went to the tailor to get my measurements for the choir blazer done, together with Wenbo. On the way there, at Lavender, the train got delayed by 1 or 2 minutes. That's because the train stopped at the station too late and went too far in front. And I really meant too far.

At the background, the thing just behind 'armycareers' is actually the door itself. Throughout the whole journey, the train didn't really go smoothly, as in the acceleration and deceleration is not what I usually experience. But I didn't expect something like this.

This is how far it is from the train doors. The train actually overshot by nearly half the distance between 2 doors!


I had GP vocabulary test yesterday, and it was the most unique test I had ever taken. First, Mrs Ch'ng squeezed us into 2 rows, so that was like 10 people per row. Then she distributed the question paper such that every other person will take one set, while the others will take the other set. So our neighbours were all taking a different set of paper (it was actually 1 sided for each of the test). The surprise was that she suddenly said:

You have 7 minutes to complete.

Wah! 7 minutes... My set of questions were very difficult, mainly because I did not really study for the test. I just read through a little. After 7 minutes, Mrs Ch'ng surprised us again. After collecting our test, she gave everyone the other set of questions and told us to complete in another 7 minutes...

Yeah so after the test, she gave everyone another person's paper to mark. I scored 21/30 btw. Not bad for someone who did not study. Plus the passing mark was 20.

Sian, gotta rush my GP essay + PW PI draft + Chinese paper tomorrow. Sorry Ching Chieh, really cannot go for Vocal Consort concert. Need to chiong.

Just finished NDP recording. The recording was yesterday from 2pm to 9.30pm and today from 2pm to 6.30pm and we had to record 5 NDP songs which will be broadcasted on National Day itself. It's not like we will get to perform, nor will we get free tickets.

I missed the recording. It was definitely more fun than the VSchoir's recording of Go Forth with Pride and Keeping the Dream Alive, even though it was more tiring. I guess it's the environment, because the studio is rather big, and we had 1 or 2 microphones per section. We could actually hear what the girls were gossiping because the microphones were very sensitive. It was fun laughing at Abel's early entry, Reuben's and Wayne's crack and Mr Chua's workout. I think we did a very good job... we worked very efficiently and completed the 5 songs on time. Well done!

It feels sad to think that the recording is over and we won't be doing such recordings in the near future. But I know I should not feel sad because now I have happy memories, and it beats having no memories at all.

I dunno why but in every alternate post, I must complain about my studies. I lack the time and motivation to do my tutorials and read through lecture notes. I really need to do a lot of catching up. I don't have time during the weekdays. Mondays and Wednesdays are choir practice days. Schools ends very late on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I will somehow be busy on Thursdays. But when weekends arrive, I will declare myself a holiday and slack the whole time. That's why I will never get my work done.

Not say very happy with my Maths common test, because I don't think I did my best. I lost to all the VS 4A people in my class haha, that means to say, Jun Yuan and Ryan. Both of them score 49/50. And my first GP essay isn't very good too, scored an E grade. It sounds very lousy right? In secondary school it's equivalent to a C6. E sounds like you fail terribly. And there's GP test tomorrow. I don't really intend to study. I think I'll just go and screw up the paper.

Saturday is coming. Every saturday I always wonder whether I should go for choir practice or Maths Olympiad training at NUS. It's a rare opportunity to be selected to attend such trainings. I am also using that excuse for not attending VJC's own maths trainings because the latter clash with choir practices on Mondays. I know I am already being excused from Saturday morning choir practices, but it sucks not going for every choir practice since the start of the year. Yeah so far I have skipped every single morning choir practice. NUS is so far away, and the time needed to travel is around 2 hours. Sometimes the lessons are not really worth it, like the 2 combinatorics lessons because the lecturer (Mdm Teo's husband) didn't teach much and just spent time talking to us about other stuffs. I saw some combinatorics notes on his table which was for class in term 3 I think, and couldn't stand not learning anything from there, I took pictures of the notes and read it on my way back to school. I saw a lot of stuffs which I have never thought before, such as:

Question
Express in terms of n: 1(ⁿC₁) + 2(ⁿC₂) + ... + n(ⁿC_n), whereby ⁿC_r = n!/[r!(n-r)!]

Solution
Consider (1+x)ⁿ = 1 + (ⁿC₁)x + (ⁿC₂)x² + (ⁿC₃)x³ + ... + (ⁿC_n)xⁿ.

Differentiate w.r.t x: n(1+x)^n-1 = 1(ⁿC₁) + 2(ⁿC₂)x + 3(ⁿC₃)x² + ... + n(ⁿC_n)x^n-1

Substitute x = 1 and we will get our answer of n(2^n-1).

I don't think I want to learn those stuffs which have already been taught in secondary school. Total waste of my time. I should have gone for choir practices then. But last Saturday's lesson was interesting. It talked about the imaginary unit i which is the sqaure root of -1, something which I have always been interested in. So I don't really know if the next lesson will be worth going or not. And if I can't make up my mind, I guess I will just go for the NUS training because that is my routine.

Ahh, just 3 more weeks and it's over. I can't wait to go for Saturday morning practice.

I'm lazy to write about the cycling trip with Wei Liang, Ryan and Jun Yuan, the VSchoir practice, the Maths Olympiad training and the VJchoir practice with the NDP guy leaving his coffeeshop opened.

I'll just post a video I saw on Kwok Cheung's blog. Turn up your speakers (and remember to set your MSN status to Busy first!).

During Physics lecture...

[Lecturer] (asks a question) Can I get the Physics rep of S41 to answer this question? (referring to Christopher)
[Ernest] (very loud) YES! YES!
[Lecturer] The yes-yes person, are you the physics rep?
[Ernest] No.
[Lecturer] Never mind, the yes-yes person, you answer the question instead...
[Ernest] ...

5 minutes later...

[Lecturer] The yes-yes person, what's your name ah?
[Ernest] Ernest Puey.
[Lecturer] (doing the praying motion) Ernest... 'Pray' ah?
[Ernest] ...

Haha kena pwned!

This post marks the end of the March holidays.

I am looking forward to Chemistry Practical. We're supposed to do QA last time whereby you react alkali to some chemicals and get some precipitate and change in colour. So after I completed everything, I was playing with the bench reagents. After reacting sodium hydroxide to zinc cations, I added massive amounts of sodium carbonate and sulphuric acid. Effervescence of colourless gas was seen which provided me a few minutes of entertainment.

But that's only on Tuesday. Tomorrow there will only be Physics Practical. Besides screwing up the vernier calipers, the traveling microscopes and other expensive gadgets by worsening the zero error, there is not much fun in the practicals. But I must say Miss Ng is a very nice Physics teacher who gave a lot of comments on my work rather than just put ticks and crosses.

There are 2 tests tomorrow. Maths CT which clashes with choir practice and Chinese cheng2 yu3 test. If I have the time, I will study the Chinese one.

I end school early on Wednesday and Thursday, 1.55pm. But I have choir practices on both days. Wednesday will be VJchoir's practice and Thursday will be VSchoir's and I'll be going back to help. Hopefully I can improve their Credo so that VJchoir doesn't have to sing it. I dunno why but somehow I have the urge to go back VS to help the choir on their singing.

Friday is going to be a holiday! That will also be the day when I hope I can catch up on my work. Good Friday! That Friday better be Good.

"Seize the chance"? Nah. I may end up with nothing at all.

Went for VJchoir camp on Mon and Tue. To me, the camp was not really very effective in bonding me with my group because I was helping out in the games. But through the games I actually know a few more people's names. I left the camp at 2pm on Monday to get to MOE Building for the Overseas Attachment Programme which was a waste of my time. I don't think I can get in.

'Chiong ah!' was not very much of a success. It rained the whole afternoon. There were problems in most of the stations. The choir was all wet and tired after the whole game. But nevertheless, I enjoyed working with the committee: Rhoda, Cedric, Jomel, Wenbo and Nicole. Thanks for the effort you all have put in in organising the game, yeah and for chiong-ing the proposal just few minutes before the submission deadlines. I think the name 'Chiong ah!' is really telling us to chiong, not the choir.

Went back VS yesterday. The choir sounded better than expected. The problems they have are actually problems which can be corrected easily. Sopranos always have split notes in Credo but when I did sectionals with them this afternoon, I managed to help them stay in tune. I hope they remember what I told them about singing high and singing low. I could tell that the choir is putting in much effort in singing, which is very impressive. I enjoyed taking Salve Regina with them yesterday afternoon, and I think I will go back and help them next Thursday on the Rhapsody first half songs.

It's Thursday already. A few more days before school reopens and I need to finish my homework and catch up on my studies. There is just so little time... the next holiday will be in June and I will most probably be busy with Wales preparation. Man, I need to work harder.

Wow I haven't blogged for nearly 1 week. Recently I have been rather busy with choir. Firstly the year 1s had to take choir practices for around 2 weeks because the year 2s had their common tests. Secondly, our group has to meet up to prepare for the choir camp 2nd day game. I am hoping that I can slack less during the March Holidays and get into the mood of studying, which was lost since end of last year.

My holidays are being bombarded with many activities anyway. Choir again but it's not only VJchoir. So I am very sorry to those who have asked me to go out, because I seriously need the time to stay at home to rest. To 4A'07, I am sorry if I cannot join you all next friday for whatever you all have planned. If I can I try play soccer with you guys (provided you all use the 'Bird Cage'... wahahahahaha). To Thirant: well, same thing, sorry.

Today during Maths lecture...
[Lecturer] Maths reps, please write down the names of those who attended today's lecture and submit to me.
[Student] (very loud) Wah thank God I got come ah!
[All] (laughs)
[Lecturer] ...


Mas Selamat is still on the run. The escape is so well-known such that 4 people in our class did articles about him for General Paper, and one of them is me*. And the joke brought up by Mrs Ch'ng: It is rumoured that Mas Selamat is in Malaysia now. Why?

Because in Malaysia you see "Selamat Datang"!

* I actually forgot that we had to present a newspaper article. So in the end since Jun Yuan did 2 articles, I took his piece of paper (with his reflections) and presented instead.

PE lessons in VJC are very 'hiong', or demanding for those who don't understand. For every two-period PE lesson, we had to run around 4km at East Coast Park and strenous exercises which help build on our muscles. For third-period PE we do the same minus the running. I know it sounds quite little to all those in sports because they do a lot more running during their physical trainings. But for an unfit choir guy like me, I don't really enjoy doing them.

But they do work. I just had a mock NAPFA test which you have to obtain D or above for pull-up, standing broad jump and 2.4km run in order to pass and not attend third-period PE lessons. Pull-up was a breeze because I needed 4 to get D, but I know I could do 5 since last year. For standing broad jump, it was because my PE teacher, Miss Ng, was lenient enough to allow everyone to do a few times. And for me, I cheated a little because my final position of my feet was a V shape rather than a 11 shape. For 2.4km run, my timing last year was 13+ minutes. I needed a 12:50 in order to pass (or rather, to get D). In the end I got myself a 12+ minutes, nearly improved by 1 whole minute. That is something not really achieveable as easily as one can think, and I must really thank the 'hiong' PE lessons for making me pass.

It's March already. Surprisingly how time passes so quickly. It seems like I am still in the month of February. I now picture VJC as a college whereby there are many things in store for everyone, many fun activities that nobody would want to miss. And it's so sad because time passes so fast. What I am thinking of is that: the life I spend in VJC would probably be the most enriching I would ever encounter.

Last week passed by so quickly. In fact, I always thought that last week was the JAE posting results week, but that was 2 weeks ago. Besides trying to catch up on my tutorials which I totally could not, taking year 1 choir practices in LT4 with the air-con not working, and taking part in the Australian Maths Quiz on Wednesday (thereby skipping Physics lecture), I went to catch CJ7 with Wei Liang. Nothing special, except that we got ourselves 2 Gold Class seats in Vivocity for free. The original price is $30 per ticket. The seats are paired and there are buttons to move your backrest and legrest, and between 2 seats is a table which you can put things on, throw rubbish and even call for assistance to order food.

The toilet is cool. I have never seen taps where the basin is flat and the water flows inwards to a drain.

Camwhoring in the toilet


Tan Imba's tongue again. But that's not VivoCity. That is the treehouse on Friday which the college announced was the last day when we can wear our secondary school uniform. So we wore our VS uniform with VS tie and tie pin (Friday was also tie-day for the college). We sang the Victorian Anthem with pride. We adorned the VS badge for the last time. It was such an honour putting on the VS badge such that Wen Siu had to beg me on her knees to allow her to wear it for 2 periods.

Haha no I was just exaggerating. But she did wear it and it looked very unusual on her.

Ryan, Jun Yuan and I (from right) outside T11 after Project Work. The VS uniform looks much nicer than the VJC one because the former is pure white. The VJC one is yellowish like as though it has been soaked in rust or sweat stains have accumulated.

The first thing I did in March? Eat McDonalds for all 3 meals. Yucks.

I am supposed to finish my Chinese homework and finish up all my tutorials. I am now left with around 30 marks worth of Chinese and Physics and Chemistry tutorials.

Remember what Mr Maran always says, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." I always find this sentence very meaningful even though he said it dozens of times until I got totally bored of it. In life, there are always successes and failures. When you are successful, you celebrate it. However, when you fail, don't just stay-put at where you are. Ponder for a while and reflect on why you failed, but move on with life. Don't let such a failure bother you for very long. In fact, the process is more important than the outcome. Like I quote Woon Yang's blog (which he quoted someone else), "If you have put in your best effort, then you have succeeded. Winning a trophy or title is only a bonus."

However, this is not always the case. Like this cover of a movie I found in the choir room, it contradicts Mr Maran totally.

Priceless.

Do you realise that once you need to habitually do something, you will do it subconsciously even if the situation changes? Mdm Tazneen once told the class this (and I heard from Ling Chung that she tells this to every class): An owner of a dog would ring a bell every time there was lunch for the dog. The dog would then run out to the garden to enjoy his meal. This happened every time such that one day, when the owner just rang the bell without preparing any food, the dog would just automatically run to the garden. The owner did this for 3 consecutive days before the dog understood and stopped going to the garden.

Btw she went on to say how many times different animals needed to understand. She was using it as an analogy to illustrate that since we are humans, we will only need to listen to her once before we can get her homework done.

Now here's something to prove her wrong.

Remember the familiar black-and-yellow humps that you see on roads? And yeah I said "humps". Look at this picture.

This is a picture I took at the carpark just in front of my block. Notice that this is not a hump but flat ground with black and yellow stripes painted over it. But whenever I walk past this area, I will automatically lift my leg so that I can "step on higher ground", when in fact the ground is flat.

Hmmm, maybe I have become a dog anyway.
