ok, finally i can find some time to update my blog, and this is like the first post in almost a month. been super busy with school work and trying to finish all the holiday assignments, sicko assignment, math self-learning topics (which i really hate, especially stats), all the SIAs and presentations, etc.
many things have happened over the past one month. firstly, our squad was promoted and we're NCOs now. i don't know if i'm supposed to be happy over it or start worrying about everything that i have to do, especially since i'm the log head, which means that other than home, school and church, army market's gonna become my fourth home, and i'll have to start packing everything in the sj room again... i really don't know why i became the log head. is it just cos they felt that i was able to cope better than anyone else at the job or just cos they couldn't find anything else for me to do, or rather they couldn't find anyone else to do it? well, i guess i should just think on the bright side and try my best to carry out all my duties to the best of my abilities...
the juniors' discipline is starting to get really bad. it's like, they've even forgotten all the basics, like how to write the stuff on the envelope for squad fund, what kind of envelope to use for squad fund, and even how to fill in the date on the attendance list. it is cos we didn't teach them properly in the first place, so now they don't know anything, or is it just cos they've clean forgotten? well i don't know, but i really hope that they're gonna make improvements soon.
quiz is nearing. yesterday when prisci and waitiem asked us whether we were nervous, i told them i was not the least bit nervous about it. should i be feeling like that? does that show that i don't really bother about quiz, or is it just that i'm deceiving myself, deceiving everyone else? well i guess that even if no one else knows, i know myself that i haven't been putting in as much effort as anyone else in the quiz team has. I HAVE TO BUCK UP AND PUT IN MORE EFFORT!
last friday was fun fair. although or class didn't really raise a lot of money (as compared to the other classes), but i guess the important thing is that we had fun. i spent 3/4 of the day in the toilet, half the time under the sink poking people's legs with my cold and wet hands, and the other half on top of the table with my hair hanging down and with people thinking that i'm some fake head. it was really fun scaring the hell out of people, and people screaming their heads off. i remember i had to escort one of the girls out even after she paid $4 to come in cos she was so scared and she insisted that her friends had dragged her in. there was this teacher who brought her son along cos he wanted to go in, but came out only after like a minute or so cos he went in and saw a pair of hands hanging down from the door of the first cubicle. that was chiachia's hand i think. mr mackintosh was quite funny. i was kneeling down on the table and shouting "help me" in a very low and eerie voice, and he just came over and asked how he could help me. i was trying so hard not to laugh, but still i kinda burst out in occasional laughters. mdm seet was the best. all i did was poke her leg with my dry hands and she jumped backwards. afterwards when i grabbed her leg she was screaming like mad. it's kinda fun scaring people, and at first i was kinda scared when i was under the sink that there would suddenly be this hand coming out from nowhere and tapping me. then i started praying and it got better. i think that cos i spent such a long time in the dark and eerie toilet i've kinda gotten rid of my fear of ghosts that resulted the the SIL 2 weeks ago.
because of that stupid SIL where there was this guy who came in and talked about asian horror genres, i couldn't sleep properly for 2 nights! that's why i insist on never watching horror films. cos i see no point in scaring myself for nothing. he's still coming back for a second part of his talk this friday. i'm not really keen on listening, but i guess i have no choice. i'll just have to censor all the ghost parts away myself. i really hope he doesn't show shutter again. that horrible thai horror film...
on saturday we went to samyee's house for dinner cos daiyee and desiree were back in singapore for one day before they left for london on the saturday night. although not everyone was present, i guess it was still nice that we can gather like this occasionally to have dinner, chat, hang out together, etc. i really like having big families like this. it's nice to have loads of aunties and uncles and cousins cos everytime we gather together for family gatherings, it's super fun to be able to sit together, talk crap, play cards or even just watching tv together. and all my aunties and uncles are super nice. not to mention, every year cos i have to so many relatives, i get a lot of presents for christmas and a lot of red packets for chinese new year. i really look forward to our next gathering, which will be at a chalet at changi two weeks later.
when we got home, i started watching 金曲奖, and seriously i was kinda unhappy with the way some things turned out, although it's just my personal opinions. firstly, i wonder why eason chan didn't get the best male singer award. although cao ge's quite a good singer, and some of his songs are quite nice too, but i still think that eason chan should have gotten the award. actually i think cao ge should be nominated in some singer-songwriter category instead. secondly, how can they make eason chan go and present an award that he himself was nominated for? i mean, it doesn't make sense whether he got the award or not. if he got the award, how can he present the award to himself? and even if the other prize presenter presented the award to him, it would still feel odd cos he wouldn't be able to be congratulated by others. if he didn't win the award, HOW CAN THEY MAKE HIM PRESENT THE AWARD TO SOMEONE ELSE? THAT'S FAR TOO CRUEL! even daddy agrees, and says that they shouldn't have gotten him to be the pirize presenter for an award he was nominated for in the first place. i mean, it's not very nice to make someone have to try and liven up the atmosphere and create a sense of mystery when he might possibly have been feeling quite nervous himself. thirdly, i don't understand why stefanie sun was nominated for best female singer award when her album came out such a long time ago. but anyway i'm still quite happy that tanya chua won the best female singer award cos she has done our country proud. i hope that more local singers will be able to win awards at GMA in future. DISCLAIMER: everything that was mentioned above is only my personal opinion. no bad feelings to anyone.
there was quiz training yesterday, and for the first time in history (and i hope not the last), we got 9/10 for case! i don't know whether it's cos the case was very easy or really cos we did well, but anyway the important thing is that we score well for quiz. apparently according to priscilla and wai tiem, we're supposed to do so well for all the other topics that it doesn't really matter how much we score for case. well anyway nowadays for case we usually score more than 5, which is quite good considering the fact that we used to score negative scores for case (i mean we've done that before). anyway JIAYOU QUIZ TEAM!
