BE BBQ and STRA testing

Okie, this is my 300th post. Yeah! Hmmm hahaha

Okie. had not been updating recently loh. I am down will some sickness. I can't describe but I think it was quite serious. Keep falling sick on and off like for 1 full week already. My body was strong always, until now...

Okie lets start off last friday, the BE BBQ night.

Cuties 09 main comm

But I think we are hotter!!!

It had been my "zao pai dong zhuo"
The infamous twist pose. Or just because that my expression for
taking photo was so limited. So I lazily just pose the same over and over again.

Sharon was the organizer and I think the event rocks loh. All was having fun and a lot of us was singing through the mic and amplify out for the big speaker, hoho. We had to use youtube as the source for the lyrics, and that's what I like about youtube. So useful for all purposes.

I was imidating the Jam Siao singing bei pan, wahaha

Okie, next. Let talk about the STRA tower testing.

So ironic that we had to spend 3 days to do the project for the ultimate purpose of destroying it. Design wise we were not among the most specticular one. However we managed to withstand a significant load of 87kg.

The rest of the tower didn't had the chance to test it. Cause basically they just tried to destroy their by stepping onto their poject. So techincally we are the so called strongest tower. Yeah!

Our tower also weighted the lightest so naturally we got the most load bearing to self weight ratios. Our concept was making use of the strongest triangle trusses, where the support between members were the strongest, theorically lah.

We were the 3rd tower, namely the 'tow-almight'. Among other like the "dark vader"

Suppose to put 4kg of load on each of our level so totalling of 12 kg on the structure, then follow by all other weights on the roof till it reaches failure. We put amost 87kg till the sound 'piah' notify us of sigh of failure.


2 second of breath-taking silents, followed by stumbling of the board that weighted 87kg. Wrecked our 3rd and 4th level. Everyone was evading fearing the weights could land on our feets.

Our 3 days of hard work ruined.

Friends friend friend

A lots of time I had always question myself, why am I in the situation that I am in now. Why am I still a student when all my friends are working hard to earn their living outside. Why I made all the wrong moves and landed myself in my situation. Who should I blame? Who influenced me and stuff like that.

If all matters broken down is called atoms then all possibilities and outcomes broken down is called choices. The fact that we choose to turn left instead of right in life affects the overall outcome of my life. Even if its the slightest decision to choose from gives a whole different possibility of result.

Therefore weather if it is an preferable outcome ultimately depend on the choices we made in our life. But ironically, we doesn't know what are the choices that we had to make to result in the most preferable situation we want it to be. So we could only relies on our experiences, our institution to choose our choices in life. If I think I choose this, I will get there then maybe I choose it. But in the end, it doesn't mean that we can get there even if we choose it.

Why do we scared to make decisions? Why do we fear something that we can't even have control over. We had the power to make decision but we don't have the power to make results. So what is the use of procrastinating our decision? Why fear to make choices when we can't even control the end result.

I think that when we facing the junction of choices. Don't hesitate to choose them. Because we don't know what is the outcome until we really choose them. Most importantly, we should not regret over the decision that we had made. I believe everything goes around, comes around. We should not be wasting time regretting, but to make use of the chance to learnt from our wrong mistakes. I believes that the best lesson are those that came from mistake.

I list 2 example of the things that I did that I felt proud off when I made a wrong choices

Detention Barrack:
I was sentenced to 2 week of DB just because I made a stupid decision to AWOL from camp. Going in, marks my record in life, I got the bad record in my file. But what are the uses of regretting in the cell. It can't turn back time. So instead I made used of the time to read religion books to enlighten myself. I see it as an opportunities for me to quit my smoking during the 14 days. So turned out, I achieved something when I came out. I got enlightened in some of the issue I faced in life. I know that I will never had to chances to do my self reflection if I wasn't inside.

Retake my O level 4 times:
I made wrong choice by not studying in school when I was young. I was being lead astray by bad accompany. But now I getting my scholarship and stayed very focus in study. I believe that if I were to study during my ex school days, I wouldn't be able to obtain these result I have now. There because all the exposure I got, all the experience I pick up in these years make me who I am today. I never regretted my choices

I believe in fate. Everything is fated in my l

guo an birthday celebration

Today's monday. I skipped class. STRA and WT which was the two very important module this semester. But due to the fact that I am very very sick, I never even felt so sicked before. I think either is I got a cold or must be food posioning from canteen 1. I really think the hygience level of the "yong tuo fu" wasn't up to standards. I seriously felt so sick that I wonder if I can go school tomorrow.

But nevertheless, I still went out yesterday for main com birthday celebration. It not that I acted strangely, but I having fever, headache and musclar ache. But at least I was still there right?

We meet up and then eat at "Astron". Somewhere in cathey that sell western food. They say cheap, I think okie okie loh. I spent $21 on my lamb and coffee. My lamb sucked, everyone busy munching on their food, like its super nice. I got a hard time finishing my food.

p/s: off track, actually while I am typing now, I can't really feel my finger tip. Like it was frozen, but on the fact I was wearing jacket and track pant? I really wonder, how my finger manage to loss so much heat?

After dinner we went to giraffe to chill out. Before that we sabo Guo An first. He is the president so he got special attention from Ms Amanda. Whaha. He smell so butterly after that.



anyway, we also help Benson and Junxian celebrate their birthday too.

Flash application lesson 2

My second flash assignment

The stuff learned today could enable me to construct a flash website. But just needs a little touch up. Cause I know it looks noob!

BE main committee camp

Long post ahead...

We went for a 3 days 2 night main committee camp to bond with shortlisted main com for the year 2009. We were very honor, thanks to Guo An for booking the school loft for us. We had a wonderful stay :) I mean, whatever worst thing happened in camp, but just the idea that we were able to stay at loft made this trip worthwhile. Beautiful scenery, fully conditioned and awsome bathroom, so what's more could we possibly ask for.







Day 1:

Okie, starting off by meeting at the deck and do some introduction between the main com, div 1 and div 2. Basically to familiarize with all the faces and their individual names. Play some name game and so on. First activities had to blindfold the participant including us and we had to walk to BE axis. So basically some bonding game and stuff.

In the end they looks like some bondage or hostage, haha

Look how nice our main com shirt is. But too bad, there are flaw (inside joke)

Basically they walked with eye closed and hands/legs tied all the way to blk 34

After we reached BE axis, we had our dinner and then basically sits around and talk, basically very slack for the whole camp. Or should I say that, it wasn't a camp actually. You know just like booking a chalet and you know, dawn the whole day and stuff like that. Till all the way to night, where we just took a walk to Bukit Timah Reserve, hmmm sort of more like an after dinner stroll :)

Head back to bunk and we main com basically just hang around together doing gossips and slept at 4am. While the new main com just stayed in their own room and sleep. I think we weren't so comfortable yet, anyway, it is only day one.


Day 2:

Day 2 activities are more pack and interesting I tell you. After breakfast, we brief them that we were going to dispatch them with some money, and they had to prepare a meal for us. They can shop and buy stuff and set up a lunch for us under the theme "BEACH". We had to do the same too only that we were on the theme "ROMANIC".

We went out to source for food and buy decoration, and I asked Amenda, Elis and XY to walk the retenting wall with me. Haha, we all got jellied leg half way and it is always so fun and exciting to walk.

When we got back, they starts to prepare for all the food and decoration


I think it was super nice.


Preparing the food

Went all the people settled in, we suppose to entertain and serve them. Put on their napkit and say our prayer before they start to eat. Although the food is not that fanastic but I know they will realise all our efforts that was put in.

We toasted to celebrate all the efforts of the sky rocking main com

Then I should moves on to the part which was prepared by the main com 09. Their theme is "BEACH".

I say that I am super impressed by them. They decorated the blue dolphin and it was really nice. The ambient really looks like we were at the beach, somemore the menu is really a bonus. I was really well done. So as to appreciate their efforts I going to write out the menu in words


Makan By the Beach's Menu

Sea greens

The finest selection of greens for the day, accompanied bylovely red cherry tomatoes, topped with mayo

B.b

Bikini burger, juicy beef/chicken fatty swollen fried, sandwiched with fragrant seasame buns.

The prawn-y chio crakers

Do we need to say more? Its the good OL' mouth watering chips


We all enjoyed this activities and followed by going to field there to play some wet games. Shooting each other with dyed water. Then we settled into BE axis for our night BBQ

Day 2 ended great, where we talk and chatted with the main com 09. After which we carried on in our loft and we talked till 6pm. All of them. I can see that through this camp, they really managed to bond with each other. Objective met!!

Day 3:

We decided to make day 3 most relax and cancelled all activities. We don't want to stress them up too much and also because all of us slept quite late in the night. Guo An also announced the individual position for the main com 09. He even did a 08 tribute for us. We appreciated.

Packed up axis and head by home.


I waiting for shi hua photo and tribuate clip to be posted on youtube. Next post will be the tribute for main com 08. Mean while enjoy the photo and you can grab the full version at

New year resolution 09

Happy year 09.
Spend my night at home watching shows. A good way to save money and stays out of troubles.

So I guess it is now my turn to write down my vision for 09. They called it resolution. I am still very puzzled about why they didn't call it the new year revolution instead.


Taken from Dec 07 post

" let me list out my new year resolution (for year 08)

lasik surgery
good grade
weight loss to desire 65kg
treasure the most important person in my life.
and final strike TOTO!!!"

So let me round up what I had accomplished for year 08.

Mum said that lasik surgery was too expensive, although she promised that she will pay for me if I had gotten my scholarship. Well, I got my scholarship but no lasik surgery. Well as I always say "Promise are mend to be broken".

Hmm, I managed to maintain my score which is a good thing here, but for this semester, I am not so optimistic. But still hope everything will turn out fine. Especially WT and NPMC.

And I didn't manage to reduce my weight either. I didn't treasure my most important person in my life and I also never strike any TOTO.

So for my 09 resolution,

• cosmetically making over
• Get grades that allows me to UNI
• quit smoking
• treasure the most important person in my life
• socially more confident and outgoing
• overcome stage fright

Hmmm, that will make me a better person. I hope I can achieve these in this coming year
