hahahaha so this is what happened on the first day of school-
ms ang: class, we have to appoint a CG and a vice-CG, any volunteers?
everyone: (5.5 seconds silence)
nash: felicia!
everyone except for felicia: YA FELICIA!
felicia: (who totally didnt see this coming) ... But I'm in WELFARE!!!
and everyone just laughed.
WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS YOU TELL ME?
hahahaha so yes this is how I(was sabo-ed to)become the CG of 0811D. :D
actually I dont reaaally mind because my plan is to just to act here and there abit, then push all the troublesome work to vice-CG TOMMY or secretary SHANNON LOW! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
haha okay obviously I'm just kidding, so I"ll try my best to do my bestest best job the best that I could! HAHAHA.:D
jo and weijie outside council room. weijie is dressed up as i dunno what some garbageman or sth. hahaha! this is adiputra eating mixed fruits....WITH YOGURT!
okay I admit it does taste good though, just the way he pours it in seems a little gross. haha.
this is adiputra pranked by us! hahahaha dont get us wrong we do not hate him(actually sometimes, when he's in his real bitchy mode, which is almost everyday. HAHA)!
BBQ AT ANGIE/MAMBO'S HOUSE!
in her mahjong room busy stacking mahjong tiles. hahaha wooo mahjong rocks! :D
(I cant stop laughing at this picture)
Introuding angie's superdog, MAMBO! my phone camera with flash can actually detect aliens in many diverse forms including dogs with large brown spots! (haha okay kidding angie your mambo is very cute.)
yummy yum yum!
haha even bbq-ing must also look pretty mah! ;)
US GIRLS. :)
INNOVA JC OPEN HOUSE!
I was in charge of promoting NMA in La Vita Nuova, where pieces of artworks by our cca members were displayed..bringing the kids(HAHA) around to explain each of the artworks to them. The place's actually really quite cool and quite classy, but too bad the school see no need to open it up to us on school days so that we can chill(there's a comfortable sofa plus air-con!!!!)..hmphf!
This is a repeititive video of an elderly man playing chess with himself, projected on the wall. It portrays the problem of the ageing population in S'pore and that while they were once leading S'pore ahead in the race they are now being abandoned by the country. How many of us actually take notice of such a sight when we walk past our block of flats or do we just dismiss it because its none of our business? (haha yes i had to say that for quite a number of times)
Showcasing works from photography society.. its about the relationship between Time and Man, how time flows by so quickly that we can do absolutely nothing about it, how its an irony we try to control time thinking we can escape from it but we can't..I had the most trouble explaining this work because the further explanation is so cheem lor. hahaha, so mostly I just stop interpreting to them at the above. haha!
Titled 'GroundBreakers', as you can see, this piece is about groundbreakers like Issac Newton(who who sat under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head and he suddenly thought and suggested the Universal Law of Gravitation), and also Albert Einstein(who created the mathematical formula E=mc^2), and other famous men leading to numerous discoveries and inventions. So this work highlights the risks of the generation of youths today losing this knowledge of history and theories behind such formulas as we blindly memorise them when our teachers dish them out in rigid lessons. (hahaha woo I sound so GPish right nw)
Basically this piece is about our school values-D'PICK! MEANING DIVERSITY PASSION INTEGRITY COMPASSION KNOWLEDGE! :D The artist uses the sound waves(yes, sound waves when we speak each word out loud)and painted them in a tapestry, combining all together and you get D'PICK, the INNOVIAN SPIRIT! hahahaha quite cool doncha think!
this is shining laughing very shining-ly at her modern dance booth near La Vita! (cause she's happy to see me mah) :D
the very happening hall! ALL the sports CCAs were cramped in this small space so obviously lots of stuff going on(compared to the booths and la vita below la.haha).
me: hey eric pose please I wanna take a picture
eric: oh sure but of course I have to take my sword first.
-.-'''
Jo's friends from Ritlz Carlton came down to peng chang! :)
I forced them to La Vita.
hahaha.. nah they were willing okay, although not very much but still! Jiacheng(guy in black)was very concentrated and serious when I was explaining the pieces so thankyou! :) (even though he prob.wont see this anyway)
kam hong at our other NMA site(blue studio) having his self-portrait taken! act-cute. HAHA.
:) (Credits to PS, taken from kimberly's blog)
Hi Leevia!
she can speak jap much better than I do which is nothing at all cause she's from jap cultural club! :)
yay! :)
ennoi, tingen and I dropped by the tennis court to smack some balls after open house ended. haha! and yes I have taken a liking to this challenging(finally realise that when I found the difference between virtual tennis in my phone,which I must say I have reached the championship level, and the real one)sport. HAHAHA. we cant wait to have a chance to try it out again! :D
I'm really excited to go to his play really. its about office politics and scandal such. so of course I didnt buy the tickets solely to see him (haha okay I just lied, I did. first row seats. YES I KNOW!!! but it actually costs lesser than the 5th or 6th ones in the middle which I have no idea why so I just know I had to grab it before some other similar-motive fan does!!) HAHAHA. hey I know you're thinking im going crazy over some stupid taiwanese guy who's all looks BUT I FIRMLY SAY NO!!! Joe Cheng is not just looks! He's talented, and he gives thoughtful and interesting answers during interviews unlike some other celebs who just wants to be funny. and also, he has a ridiculous sense of humour and laughs uncontrollably in an unglam and unhandsomely way when he finds something funny! which is also another reason why I like him. he's real! (btw omg the latestissue of UzhouKan featured him and ariel lim as cover! HAHA YES HOT!) So......THE BOTTOMLINE IS, AS I'VE SAID A MILLION AND ONE TIMES, I.CANT.WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its just freaky(in a good way)to see him in the flesh. like he's unreal. haha irony!
I am unmistakenly glad that the week is almost over and its friday. school is a frenzy but a WHOLE LOTTA FUN at the same time!!! hahahaha I love my class :) but I miss netteyeo,pk,simin and afiq! :( its just not quite the same!
Signing off,

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.
