NCC Day,St. John Brigade Day,Youth Day celebration,and of course,Be Yourself Day.
Friday, June 30, 2006 11:54 PM

My father fetched me to school today[like always],but fiona took a lift from me cause we wanted to walk into school together.[it's so awkward to walk to school alone in our outfits for BYD.the stares and the scanning when you walk into class.]
I wore this white,considered-stripped top I bought recently from Far East Plaza.Matched with this light brown skirt.and also wore my hair up into a rather untidy bun.
Huiting said I looked Vintage.
Chia How said I looked Korean.
I think huiyun said that too.
But I think I looked overly mature?
hm
Before we enter zhonghua,we went to 7/11 where I bought a packet of Lakerol,which I was sure would soon be fairly distributed among the few 'sweet addicts' in 3e5.
lols.
When we walked into school near the General Office,we were greeted by Alan,who looked DIVA.
wahaha.. and his Calvin Klein Cologne seemed super strong today.
After assuring me that I looked okay and me assuring him that he looked super shuai..we went seperately into our classrooms.
The whole of 3e5 were really cooperative and wore their outfits to school,including the 'hei she hui' people consisting of jiaming,wanyi,mingli,zhilei,lynette and peiying.They were clad in a simple black shirt with jeans.
and orange hairbands . Not all of them dressed the same,just similar.
hhaa.. Chia How wore this PINK shirt with a Red tie.
Claiming that the tie made him looked gentlemanly.
PTTF. Gentlemanly MY FOOT. hahhaa..
In our class,these are the three people who wore the black-and-white strips shirt which makes me think of a zebra are: Si Si, Yang Qian and Wei Ting.
NOT that they looked like zebras.
I like Yang Qian's boots!! so adorable really!
ok next. Morning Assembly.
Our class,along with other Sec 2s and 3s classes,had the advantage of standing near the railings of the second and third floor because the St. John Brigade and NCC were occupying much of the space in front.
So we had like an overview of everything and realised that ALOT of sec 1s didn't bother to get dressed up for BYD and wore their uniforms[BORING~]while the sec 4s were mostly all dressed up nicely.
Me and Huiyun started counting the number of 'zebras' among all of them below and it turns out to be 16.
When Miss Tan Huey Pin started her morning talk(zzz),huiyun and lot others decided to sit down on the floor while some of yus remained standing,giving yee en and huiyun the chance to try to unzip my boots[resulting in redness of huiyun's thumb.haha]and trying to do some folding with carine's jeans.
After she ended the talk and some other school matters were announced,we went for our lessons.
English was good because Lim YK brought us to the library instead of having lessons using ITS YOUTH DAY! as a reason. yay. get to enjoy air-con!
Emaths was good because Lee MC was up to his usual monkey business and named some of us stuff related to our outfits..x) eg. Alan was wad GCE of NightClub.
ha ha
History was bad because plainly,the lesson was boring.
Same for the rest of the lessons. just like a usual school day.
The Youth Day concert. MCs introduced the judges.
Then after keziah's loud enthusiasic voice filled the whole air-conditioned hall, we were entertained by a 'runway show'.
I found out that the guys who came out to catwalk got a lot more screams from the audience[mostly girls la.including me.wahahha] than some of the girls.
well,I guess the guys can't start screaming hysterically when the girls come out right.
haha.. abit weird.
after the strutting,we have this cold play produced by some of our teachers,wearing our school uniforms.
and with john Y dressed up as Superman,with his red underwear wore outside.
what's the surprise?
haha..Mr keong was so funny,he laughed at his own joke!
ahhaa..and his hair was so eww. haha..
OH AND MR SOO THE BUS DRIVER. so alike. hhaa
After we gave our applause for their play about zhonghua students having care and compassion, Elaine Lam and this Physics teacher came and sang a medley of songs for us.with Elaine L playing the piano.
all i can say is, Miss Lam sings super well[seems like most people realised that point today] and I wished she could have just sang the whole medley of songs by herself. but no offense to the Physics teacher of course,she seems so nervous in comparison to miss lam.
Maybe it's because she's facing all of us while miss lam is gracefully playing the beautiful music,with her back facing us.
I kinda enjoyed this performance but I can't really say the same for Mr John Y's next one,where he sang 'Dang Ni Gu Dan Ni Hui Xiang Qi Shui' by Zhang Dong Liang. he's was o-kay I guess,but obviously huiyun feels strongly against this. she was busy tilting her head down and wishing badly that he would hurry up sing finish and leave the stage.
lols.
oh yea.He even has sec 1s holding up banners for him like he's singapore idol or sth.
hahhaa.. *barfs*
Guess the sec1s find him cute. [those holding the banners will probably regret doing that after they become more sensible and mature sec 3s. haha]
After the song, THP gave out the prizes..blah blah blah.
and the youth day concert ends.
yeah it's not as good compared to last year's one.
but okay la..
oh yeah i forgot to mention about the DANCIL[dance combined with council if you heard from kelman correctly].
they danced. the end. no extra comments.
After the concet ended,I went to Cinny's house for awhile.. and we surf the net, talk[gossip?haha],and 3G-ed chester using my hp cuz he has a 3G phone too.
It's kinda lame.. talked crap. [does anyone knows how much it will roughly cost talking through 3G for more than 10 mins?]
watched some tv.. and i went home at arnd 5plus!
I have been stabbed by ernest but im gonna do tad thing in his blog some other time.
hafta sleep now. bye! =D
P.S oh and HAPPY YOUTH DAY!

WELCOME:)

you are not alone
I love him all the same

saturday, july 18th, 2009. Michael Jackson, King of Pop
If I were to write this post one week ago I wouldn't have got past the first few lines, without crying so badly. Admittedly, the news of his passing did not bothered, much less saddened me because my impression of him was vague and as a child I wasn;t exposed to any of this songs or videos, just news from the press every now and then. Till a few days after his death. I went on Youtube and before I knew it I was clicking videos after videos, watching and in awe of this man who not only served to entertain, but strived to serve the community with his enormous heart. And as I watched on and knew more, so much more about what he've been through his life, emotions started pouring in. And when I least expected it, tears started to come. I was never his fan, but now I regret not being one. It is not just one of those idol craze or whatever no, it was true sincere admiration for his works and humanitarianism that touched me, that made me look upon him as a role model. Its hard to believe that since the media had portrayed him as some wacko freak, paedophile, child molester..etc. but may I say, BULLSHIT. he is none of that sort. Other than being the greatest entertainer of the time and coming up with the most original dance moves that many stars tried hard (but pale in comparison in my opinion) to imitate, Micheal Jackson shares the love he has, especially to children, to people around him. He was a philanthropist, donating millions of dollars to the record 39 charities he supported, and raising more through his own Heal the World Foundation. He built NeverLand Ranch, complete with amusement parks, fun rides, a place where children dreamed of going for fun and laughter. From young, Michael Jackson had a childhood very different from others, where had to perform at a very young age. When he made mistakes, his father used to beat him, and not only with a belt. To make up for his lost childhood, Michael had always adored children and he himself is somehow like a child trapped in an adult body (watch his documentary, ignore the stupid bastard interviewer who was plain bias and selfish to see that such a nature still exists in a man so great he just had to bring him down. shall not waste time elaborating on this backstabbing ass because he's simply not worth it. If you're interested, watch the documentary Living with Michael Jackson on youtube. I could'nt get past to the last few parts because I got so fed up with his narrow-mindedness and ignorance that I closed the window). So back to the point. Michael Jackson brought orphans to NeverLand, where they play freely in the theme parks and find joy and laughter, which he himself derive more than anyone else' from the happy looks on their faces. Children were invited for sleepovers at his place, because it was safe, secure. But when news of him being a child paedophile arose after being charged by one of the kids who slept in his room, he ended up paying millions of dollars aside from being publicly humiliated and disgraced. because he did nothing disgraceful of that sort. because a few years later the kid owned up that it was his parents who made him to do, succumbed to the temptation of money, something which Micheal Jackson do not lacked. The father was tape-recorded discussing his intention to pursue charges, where he said, "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over". It was painful. Yet Michael still persisted, years later, in bringing less fortunate children to NeverLand, because that was more important to him. Even though the pain and hurt he had gone through had probably never healed. His strength is one of the reasons why I admire him so much. Then there was another incident, this time of him 'dangling' his baby over the window. 'omg he's crazy he wants to throw the baby down!!!!' maybe that's what it seemed like on tv and on papers, but what they didn't show is the crowd of fans below the hotel he's staying, yelling his name and wanting to also see his baby. So Michael showed them his baby, his hands wrapped under his baby's arms so tight and pulled him back as fast as he could. But what did the viewers see? A slowed-down version of him apparently dangling his baby in mid-air like a bad father. Its ignorance if people believed he was going to actually throw his own baby down the building. And at that time, I was one of the ignorant ones. I remembered looking at the pictures on some gossip magazine and felt slightly freaked out. But now I realise how much he loved his children, and how hard he tried to protect them from the media. And again, all these negative press and biasness probably was too overwhelming....how much pain can a person take? we would never know because we're not him, its hard to understand. But maybe all these people will leave him alone now, since he's already gone. I bought The Essential Michael Jackson cd, a compilation of hit songs by him. My dad and I watched his concerts and performances and music videos and we were more than in awe, in fact I think thats an understatement. Newfound respect and admiration for the man who was so creative and original, who dared to do things not commonly seen, creating dance steps while he sang at those times when most singers just stood there and sung. He thought of challenging and exciting music videos where people had never seen the injection of extra footage to create a kind of story. And not to mention those crazy vocals, coordinated dance moves, the famous moonwalk (I never get tired of it) and this amazing 45degree tilt he does which simply blows my mind away. It was all his signature style, the gloves, the crotch-grabbing whatever. Every single performance was done in class and so much more. He was an inspiration to people over the world, different races, and especially to African-Americans. He was an icon and also their pride. I can rattle on and on because there's too many things about him that are truly inspiring and simply awesome but sometimes words just cant fully express it. And yes maybe I do seem a little bias but this is what I truly feel. My only regret is that I have and will never get the chance to attend one of his mind-blowing concerts and be one of those lucky fans who felt the presence of Michael Jackson, the most successful entertainer of all time, the King Of Pop. 'Smile, even though your heart is aching.' This is one of the lyrics from his favourite song 'Smile', written by Charlie Chaplin and was sung during his memorial. I remembered someone said something like this during the memorial, 'Even though we need him here, but I guess God needed him more'. Even though we miss him so much, Heaven is probably the place he needs to be, away from any pain, suffering or cruelty. (rhymes!) He has already achieved so much and left behind a wonderful legecy that will pass down to generations after generations. Thank you Michael.
