well....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

just now was the union camp's halloween night. i think it sorta-maybe TOTALLY SCREWED UP, but it was "fun" nevertheless. Who minds having 4 days gone down the drain like that *snap* when you most likely have something more constructive to do.

Day two of the union camp.

i'm just supposed to be ram's sai gang warrior. just supposed to be a halloween scare-the-shit-out-of-people person, but become 十字路口 game master. first time i saw someone play the game like this:

Mee Soto (starting first dish)
tomato (to take up a slot)
tofu (40cent per peice)
fuji apple (a dollar each)
pearl milk tea (12 cups cos everyone was thirsty)
teh-o (1 cup only. shared between 12 people)
oreo ice cream (basically oreo mcflurry)

we were supposed to end with tom yam as our last dish. but i can't think of any dish that ends with 'tom' as its last syllable other than 'chicken bottom'.

well, tomorrow i'm gonna scare people. update later.

bull-crap.

i bought a 2GB memorystick for my sony ericsson phone. then i realised i didn't have sony ericsson earphones. now i need to save money to get earphones. else the 2GB is pointless.

ARRGH.

I've been a bad boy...

For not updating my blog for so many days.
Tons of things happened, FYP team sorta in trouble before FYP even started.
I'm skipping my PP to next year; personal choice

ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS~! nothing much actually, but holidays are holidays. so i'd better make full use of it.
Finally had time to read naruto manga, finally read up til the latest; while waiting for the next chapter i'm gonna read one peice. prolly take me 4 days to finish, since naruto's 422 chapters took 3 days.

oh, guess what: i found out i'm actually quite bloody rich on habbo, i forgot all about it. lol. but habbo is used to flirt with girls/bully small kids if i'm playing it at my current age. so maybe i'll do abit of bullying during the free time i have. definitely not the flirting part; steph'll murder me if that happens.

steph told her mom about us. i'm finding ways to tell mine. like dropping hints here and there. but i don't think my mom's picking up anything. oh well, i'm dropping my dad hints on getting my handphone a memory card, at least he's responding

the feeling kinda sucks.
i feel like a substitute.

Utopia.
Ideal paradise
Never-never land.
Shangri-la.
Dreamland.
Nirvana
Promised land.
Eden.
El Dorado

Heaven.

SONS OF BITCHES

THE PEOPLE WHO STOLE MY PHONE FUCKING WENT TO DELETE MY SAVED MESSAGES

FUCKING HELL

MONEY CANT BUY ME BACK THOSE MEMORIES
I'M GONNA FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE, AND MAKE THEM PAY

lost and found

today, i lost my handphone in RP's library. It was stolen. Then, i got it back again.

what happened was, me and darren, we were reading comics at the comics section, i took out my phone because i received an sms. then, darren said we should move into the xbox room to book seat. so we moved our belogings there, and i sat down to read my comic in the xbox room. a couple of pages later, i felt for my phone, but realised it was missing, so i ran back to my previous seat, which was less than 10 metres away. just a couple of minutes had passed (you know how fast i read), but my handphone was gone.

I immediatly borrowed my friend's phone to call my phone, but my number was unavailable. it could either mean the people who picked up my phone turned it off or removed my sim card. i was bloody furious. darren and i rushed down to the fcc to get the security to watch the tapes of the cameras, but the guy was like, "wait... fill in form first". i was saying frantically "EH, JUST LESS THAN 5 MINS AGO, CAN CHECK OR NOT??" and he went "wait.... fill in your form... see, student ID here..." so i was like, fine, i filled your bloody form, and then he took the form and nothing happened.

i went back to the xbox room depressed and furious at the same time. i was actually thinking about the different ways i could lay out my divine punishment to the assholes that take other's belongings.

fast forward to when i was going home. I called my dad and asked him to cut the line, cos handphone was stolen. he sounded bloody angry. then i was thinking of making a police report, so i went back to the fcc to check whether there was any news before i went to make my report.

suprisingly, there are actually people who care in our school. i went there, and they actually found the phone and returned it to me. i called my dad to ask him not to cancel the line but it was too late. but still can reactivate. then i asked the security guards where they found it, and they were like saying "A few boys founf it. they were actually trying to contact you..." and i was like "please. i know they tried to steal it. else why would they turn off my handphone. who are they?" and the security guard said "You don't need to know who they are. just know that disciplinary action would be taken." oh well, if they told me i would have snapped their heads off anyway, and i dont want to get into trouble.

The thing is, if you want to steal someone's handphone, at least make the effort to get out of the crime scene. why stay around the area? the security guard saw the video, then when looking for the boys, and apparently they weren't far off. Well, at least we know why they need to steal. cos they certainly can't depend on their brains for a livelihood.

i cut my hair just now, my head feels damn light.
skipped half of python today, it was boring. i seriously need some weapons of mass destruction to entertain myself.

out of the 4 modules i'm taking this sem, i don't know, maybe ALL FOUR ARE RELATED TO PROGRAMMING. and I HATE PROGRAMMING

rawrrr....
talked to satish just now. I MISS POLY FORUM ):

im in school now. damn sian

can't get back on track. i miss everything from poly forum.

zzzzzzz

Alright, updates~

i didn't go home from monday all the way to friday last week. that's because i participated in this year's poly forum, and we were staying over at downtown east from tuesday til friday. i didn't go home on monday cos i thought that going NYP then go back to bt timah, next day go to RP in the morning, travelling here and there very gay. so i stayed over at shafiq's house on monday

tuesday was the first day of the polyforum. most of the RP students + some other poly students met at RP, then took bus down to downtown east. got down there, seperated into our different sub-themes. i was in sub-theme for, New Engines of Growth. then we had to come up with cheers. so i thought them a modified version of the cypher cheer. and lost my voice on the first day. after that we had bowling competition, tshirt drawing competition.

fast forward. we got our keys for the rooms, checked in. teached some people how to play "who-what-huh" and got shafiq to do the 69-er over shy. oh yar. my room was shared between me, marcus 'satan', kenneth 'boom-boom lucifer', ben 'beezlebub' and me 'asmodeus'. that's why our room was called hell.

that night we were drinking. i vasodilated, but didn't get drunk. Mr.kenneth from NYP appeared in front of our window with a trolley, so i sat in it. then i was pushed around. then mr. kennetch crashed me into a bush.
the next day, we went to the horticulture park, then to some community centre. i was asked to take photo with MP and stuff, but i don't have that photo. saw RP's principal. he was different from the other poly's principal, i wont say why. couldn't sleep that night, cos presentation day was the next day, and i didnt finish my sculpture yet.
took damn lot of photos. presentation day. i was bloody tired. havent finished the merlion but the bloody thing keeps falling apart. didn't participate in anything during the day cos was in room sculpturing. spend time in the room all the way until just before presentation time, but still wasnt done.
then zek bought some miracle clay and fixed it up. sub-theme 4's presentation totally rocked. didnt party after presentation with other people cos i was bloody tired and needed sleep.


last day. woke up with an aching body. didnt do much, or maybe we did but i cant remember. was sad when everyone parted ways. back to monotonous life of RP.

On saturday vinc, isk, shaf and i went to send eveleen off at the airport. i got lost in T3, didn't know how to get to budget terminal. have a great time there, eveleen, don't forget to buy the liquor~!

okay, i'm here again

posting on my friend's com at 630 in the morning, because i promised steph i would blog, and just in case they don't have internet down at downtown east. the past few days i've been at the poly-forum doing rubbish (make that fun-rubbish, not rubbish-rubbish). my team was assigned to come up with the mascot and souveniers, i came up with this bloody cute merlion thingie and everyone else helped in a great way

i don't know if this is entertaining enough

oh, rukia (BFF), if you're reading this, it's okay to ignore me luh, i allow you. your 'A' levels more important, no need to send email saying that you're sorry and stuff. 2 more years and its gonna be my NS, that time i'll be too busy to entertain you also, lol.

alright, for the time being, ciao
if got internet then i post again.

what the heck.

i was sleeping very soundly, very comfortably this morning. suddenly i got woken up by shouting. so i got up, duh, in case it was some emergency.

what happened?

my mom needed someone to massage her legs and back.

bloody hell, i feel like a multi-purpose machine all over again. and i thought i could sleep longer this sundy cos my sister was at home.

im sick. with dunno what sickness.
but i know my brother gave it to me, he was sick first.
i feel terrible.

and nothing's helping.
please let me get better by monday.

observations.

i noticed something quite interesting today.

it seems like people with the letters "ph" in their names, cannot finish their food most of the times. and get their boyfriends to clear the food. And the boyfriends just so happen to like eating very much, so it's okay. and also, those that names have the letters "ph", will not really know how to do activities like playing pool or rollerblading, because maybe they are reluctant to learn, or maybe because they have no time. or maybe because of both.

i shall observe for a longer period of time.

sebasKHEH, tabble tennis cannot luh, too easy. want to win gold medal then win the marathon one luh, marathon is closing ceremony present medal leh. every year also like that.

alright,

3 days since my last blog post, tons of stuff happened.

1. no more irritating flamers on my blog,
2. i accidentally bought the most expensive pair of shoes ever,
3. olympics are over, and
4. the singapore table-tennis team manager got fired.

well, just gonna elaborate on points 2 and 4. yea, so on saturday i was at centrepoint cos my dad wanted buy a new wallet, so i was browsing the shoes there, and i saw the most amazing pair of loafers. its from this brand called Jshoes or sth like that, they're breaking into the singapore market, so their display was actually just a saw corner of the male section in robinsons. there was supposed to be storewide discount or something, so i just tried it out, and basically almost fell in love with it. then when i went to pay, it was S$179. i just stood there at the cashier, either from shock or from asphyxiation cos maybe i wasn't breathing. luckily for me, my dad said it was my BIRTHDAY PRESENT. i tell you, i'm so bloody happy, cos firstly, i can't afford the shoes, and second, it's been ages since i got a birthday present from my parents

on the matter of the manager being fired, i don't really have much to say. seems like singapore got the goods, and is trying to get rid of the people who earned it. okay, so you might argue that the medal is earned by the players. but who trains the players? the coach. who coordinates everything else? the manager. without the manager the coaches can be as great as heaven, but still the team would be useless, cos the manager MANAGES the team, thus the title. and especially after getting the first medal in 43 40 years. it adds on the whole how-ironic-this-is situation. plus that person that fired the manager, has barely warmed her seat as [whatever position she's at] for a year. it's totally like, what the hell.

nice impression on our future athletes.

2 more days..

found some interesting morsels here, some which i'm gonna post up.

The law
Teo Wee Meng, a trainer in cyber Crimes in the Criminal Investigation Department,said if there's "malicious intent", miscreants will be "charged in court, and will either be jailed or fined". However, experts believe that having laws are just one side of the coin. Said Esther: "To eliminate cyber-bullying, it will help if students know that the law in Singapore does not tolerate cyber-bullying. Knowing that cyber bullies can be prosecuted may deter people from doing so."

Statistics
Singapore has the second highest number of cyber-bullying cases after the US, says new survey. Esther Ng, founder of the Coalition Against Bullying for Children & Youth, an agency that provides resources for people to seek help on bullying issues, agreed. She cited a 2006 survey of 3,488 Singaporean students in which 25 per cent - or 872 students - admitted to having been victimised online. Another 31 per cent said that the online victimisation was in addition to physical bullying they also faced.
Citing studies published by WiredSafety.org, Poh Yeang Cherng, manager of Touch Cyber Wellness & Sports, said: "There are far more reports of cyber- bullying from Singapore on a per capita basis compared to all other countries except for the United States."

WiredSafety.org provided the information about the nunber of cases of cyberbullying in Singapore vs the US many years ago. It was never a study, but an observation based on our received reports.A study should be completed to see how this impression from years ago plays out today.As always, we welcome any collaborations in Singapore. It's one of my favorite places on earth...and there is always Chili Crab!

Best.

Well, i'm sure that, if it was studied properly, it'll be obvious that the numbers between cases of cyberbullying in singapore vs the US will be much closer, maybe even overtaking the US in position. citing from what the CID officer said, i'm sure everything on my tagboard is considered malicious, not to mention what i've been seeing on the tagboards of other blogs. definition of malicious:

1. 
   deliberately harmful: motivated by or resulting from a desire to cause harm or pain to others

i'm sure, based on the tagboard comments alone, i've already got some ground against whoever wants to take me on.

thanks to weijie, for linking the site.

3 days to go..

SMS exchange that happened this afternoon between me and him.

3:33 p.m, from +65****0345(him)
Hello s'bas-chen. This is 'Mr Daniel'. You must have a lot of time, spending the whole day at bishan. So tell me, what are you going to tell my school?

3:34 p.m, from me
I dunno. I'm showing them my posts, your posts, and everything on my tagboard

3:35 p.m, from him
I see. And what do you hope to achieve from that? My blog to be shut down? People to stop spamming you?

3:36 p.m, from me
i don't know either. maybe the latter. And of course i've got free time, it's my hols now

3:38 p.m, from him
ok. you plan to get people to stop spamming ur tagboard. and how do you think they'll(the school) help you do that?

3:40 p.m, from me
Lol, stop asking questions that i don't have answers to. Maybe the whole lot of you should get disciplined or something, idk

3:45 p.m, from him
If you don't have a plan for what you're gonna do, won't it be hard to do? And i don't think my sch has the time to punish all your taggers. It's the test period now you know. Everyone is busy marking stuff. And what can they do anyway? Take away our internet access? Here's a suggestion: lock ur blog.

3:51 p.m, from me
Why would i need to lock my blog? it's open for a reason, but it's bot for flooding of insults on my tagboard. i posted my comment, you posted yours, but i didn't shoot personal insults at you people. You/your friends started everything. Now when something happens, you start to question my actions.

3:56 p.m, from him
Hmm. you speak some truth. True, the topic isn't connect sg anymore (which, i assume was what we both wanted it to be). Now my so called "frens" (believe it or not, i didn't ask them to tag at all) tag for the sake of spamming. How do you think this can be stopped?

4:01 p.m, from me
I don't know. Tell you what. I stall for three days. you try your best to stop them. if i get a new tag on friday itself, i'm going down to your school for real.

4:07 p.m, from him
So what you mean is if you get any flaming tag on friday you'll tell my school? Sounds
like a good suggestion(it can answer the qns i asked earlier)

i was planning to go down to the school to settle the problem once and for all, but i gave him a chance to stop me. i was down at bishan all afternoon, and was planning to meet up with someone from the school at 7. I told him on his tagboard that he could stop me if he wanted to.

this is the exchange of sms between us this afternoon; i left my hp number on his blog's tag, but he removed it, probably cos he was afraid someone would prank msg/call me. I told him if i received any stupid prank calls or sms, i'm going straight to the school, no chance for him. Well, he thinks that he can solve the problem. I didn't answer his question; he's going to solve the problem himself.

Last note, to all you flamers. i didn't insult him in the first place. Definition of insult:

1. be offensive: to say or do something rude or insensitive that offends somebody else
   
2. show contempt: to say or do something suggesting a low opinion of somebody or something

an example of an insult would be e.g all the things you dickheads put on my tagboard. and if you're that stupid, dickhead is a form of insult. Important point being: i did not start the insulting. you people did. all i did was retaliate.

suprise, suprise.

apparently my previous post was all for nothing. another ball-less dude's comment. there is no 1T in RI. whoever posted that is all he said i was, plus more, i guess. mark lee from RI 1T. thanks for proving my point even further.

well then, another letter for me, found here

dear mr. goh yon-lu

well, i called him "high-and-mighty" based on the tone of his blogpost, and not because he's from RI. plus, i'm getting flamed because i commented that he was wrong to say that it was entirely the organiser's fault, but i have no idea why everyone else thinks i'm insulting him. and i don't take credit. whether i deserve it or not.

and anyways, it's defamatory enough to get the blog shut down. the thing is, you can criticise, but only if it's not obvious to the person you're criticising, only if you've made an attempt to hide their identity. since the tags were made directly towards me, and i'm not hiding behind any names. even if it's based on what you said, there were false claims. one point: i'm not gay, so there we have it, false claim. and i'm not preventing you from criticising. just do it smart so i have no reason to shoot you.

and i insist that you all didnt follow instructions, because i swear to god, i yelled at you all to hold hand for over 20 minutes, but still, all i see was clusters. one arm's length, hold hands, yes, it isn't alot to do, but you all still didn't do it.

last point: that blogpost didn't say anything about connect sg. stop using it to shoot my post.

thank you. for entertaining me.
