boring

Wednesday’s MOS with Kk, Liuli and Kah Wai was cancelled because Kah Wai last min informed Liuli that she couldn’t make it. Liuli has a friend coming to join us for dinner and some recreational activity but doesn’t wants to club. On the other hand, i twisted my ankle on Tuesday and standing for hours at the dancefloor is not a really good idea for me. We ended up playing pool and billard at cineleisure, dine at pastemania and rotted at Esplanade till 2.30am.

I’m fully packed this week till Sunday, really pack.

1 month plus before Jason and Mk get enlisted. We need a hell lot of time to hang out now.

my future

Mum and i were talking about my future. to study or not. I want to get a degree, in fact it’s super easy to say “oh i want a degree“, and then do nothing after that. What I’m concern is; how am i going to pay my school fees?

I’ve already planned my route; i will take the advanced diploma in film production in NgeeAnn poly to build up on my portfolio. Some people said that advanced diploma are for foreigners who are unable to get a diploma. Who cares? i just want to create more portfolios.

2 years spent in NP, and hopefully my gpa is good enough to bring me into NTU, School of Art, Design, Media. Total years spent = 6 years (2yrs ad. dip + 4yrs degree)

Here comes the problematic part:
Advanced diploma costs roughly the same as diploma, perhaps abit more. I give it a 1.5k for one semester. 2 years would be 6k. For degree, what i know is that it’s about 3k per semester, and 4 years would be 24k! And so this route would cost me a total of 26k + 6k = 32k!!

This still does not include my daily allowance, transportation fees, and other mics payment. I can get a job after army to fund for my advanced diploma, but the university part is really XD.

Education is important, but i don’t understand why is it so expensive. Crap

boring

Yesterday’s date with Winnie was cancel because her contact len was giving her a good time tearing, not the right time to go home. In the end, left work early for Queensway shopping centre to get a pair of basketball shoes plus a top, both from Adidas, totally to $112.xx.

It’s a strange thing that i slept early, but woke up tired again today. Dinner at Liquid Kitchen with Mk and Ch, a freaking $68.xx. It’s not recommanded to dine there, because there’s no drink lesser then $5.00. I order a small bottle of mineral water for $1.80, pretty crappy. They don’t serve ice water too, which is a even more wierd thing. But i must say that the food there are nice.

Here i am, feeling tired again. I wonder if is it the cold weather.

After dinner was ‘The Dark Knight”. Joker was a real badass character, and the person acting it was super duper great. They’ve gotten the correct person to act that role. 2 hrs 30mins, be sure to empty your bladder before watching.

Great day spent with good friends, nothing much i can ask for. ^^

My cheerleading team celebrated my advanced birthday on 22July. Do you know what’s their reason to bluff me go? “Hey Song De, we’ll be having a committee meeting and would like you to sit in.” O.o

I was completely taken in by it, and so i went. I realize that the whole Rexaz is there but yet i din notice anything, crap. And then they birthday song, birthday cake, blah blah blah, RIGHT IN THE CANTEEN! Like what the heck, peck hour somemore. Geez

But still, thanks girls and guys for the celebration. It’s definitely something that i would remember. =)

Anyway, some interesting facts i’ve found out today about my birthday:

Other than my birthday, i’ve also found something interested for my name too!

There are 9 letters in your name.
Those 9 letters total to 41
There are 4 vowels and 5 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:

Welsh Male A diminutive of Cajus, frequently used as an independent name in Wales. Rejoicer.
English Male Diminutive of Caius: A variant of Gaius; which is a more common form of the name in Britain. Famous bearer: Cambridge’s Caius College is named after its founder, John Caius.
Arthurian Legend Male Arthur’s brother.

Your number is: 5

The characteristics of #5 are: Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom.

The expression or destiny for #5:
The number 5 Expression endows with the wonderful characteristic of multi-talents and versatility. You can do so many things well. The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you will likely be the master of adaptability and change. You are good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this gives you an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Your popularity may lead you toward some form of entertainment or amusement. Whatever you do, you are clever, analytical, and a very quick thinker.

If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup, you may express some the negative attitudes of the number. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes you can be rather erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of a routine. You tend to react strongly if you sense that your freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of your response is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application. You are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

Your Soul Urge number is: 3

A Soul Urge number of 3 means:
With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn’t appreciate having these pointed out.

Your Inner Dream number is: 2

An Inner Dream number of 2 means:
You dream of close and meaningful relationships, cooperation with those around you; family and friends. You want to be a peacemaker and mediator. You present an image that you are a very pliable and easygoing person who would be very easy to get along with.

Tonight celebration at CS’s Billy’s Bombers, will upload photos tonight if there is. =)

Gosh, my age hit 2x already.

camp is over

Finally the camp is over, but until the last minute 1 walkie talkie went missing, which makes me piss off totally. Actually i’m not piss of with anyone, but last minute this kind of pattern played on us, i’m like totally sian-ed.

Camp overall – good.

I won’t said it’s very good, because there are some stuffs that aren’t very well done, except the fact that when i ask the juniors about their feedback they all said that it’s very fun. I would said that i’m better bonded with the committee juniors, helping them seriously a lot of stuff. But i feel happy when my girls and guys are happy with what they had from me. The drinks that i gave them, the amount of photos that i took for them, and of coz there’re more.

Each camps i attend i will learn more from the committee, and hopefully there’s a chance, i would plan ‘the perfect camp’. Although there’s no such thing as perfect in this world and there’s definiately loopholes, but i believe if i try my best to paint the picture nicely, i guess those loopholes would not be so obvious.

Go Rexaz Cheerleading Team

Rexaz camp

I attended Rexaz camp, but i find the campers are really a bunch of boring year 1s. Compared to the previous year, their ego wasn’t that high, and some people play pattern, like what the heck totally. I wanted to play basketball with Kahhao today in Woodlands, but it rains and his friends decided to go tampines to play, which for me is a no-no.

Pathetic camp without a dinner, which is think is a ridiculous thing to have. Meals are consider the extremely important part in the camp, and it’s a must not to let campers go hungry. But well, past is past, can’t do anything about.

Perhaps this camp is a bit rush, i don’t know much about it because i wasn’t the one planning it and so i can’t comment so much on their actions. Hopefully they will learn from this time, and make their next training camp for nationals a better one. Not so much of fun, but yet everyone is happy. Right now, i can feel that some people are not happy.

Life is simple, but it’s the people who make it complicated.

Crap

Today had president visit rehearsal in school, and after going through everything i find it quite good. Took pictures all the way for the rehearsal, and then went to watch pol-ite girls match. And again, i took pictures for the matches.
ITE won SP
TP won RP
NYP won NP (should be, i din watch)

RP vs TP was a real nice match, TP had their centers as their advantage, whereas RP has their speed. But RP lost their ability to score after 2nd half of the game, and TP’s center got in a couple of points with some simple center moves. Lost by 8 points if I’m not wrong.

Tomorrow is my cheerleading camp, and i stayed with the committee to chiong some last minute stuffs. I swear that this is the last time that i’m gonna stay up so late and took the last 168 from woodlands. Somemore it’s a Friday nite, i could have game at home.

But seriously seeing my juniors doing camps and all, i really misses those days of chiong and teamwork. I’m looking back the past photos that i’ve took for them, and it brings back lots of great memories. None beats the experience during those times, especially schooling. You will form your own gang, do events together, die together, succeed together, blah blah blah. There’s so much things that you can do. As a working adult now it’s pretty much dead and boring. As much as i misses school, i don’t really like the part of studying and mugging. That’s the job of a student.

Plus now if i come out of army, i don’t know to continue studying or what, but i want to get in a university. However with my current results i don’t think so, prolly get another diploma or and advanced diploma to aid me in going university.

I seriously miss school days

boring

Exactly 5 more days to my birthday, but i don’t have a clue how am i going to celebrate it. I’m fortunate to be able to celebrate mine before going army, but some of my friends has to celebrate it inside. What I’m hoping is that it’ll be a good one, or at least something that i can remember when i go into army. Definitely not like last year, where i spent the whole of my birthday at my studio lab editing my final year project, which is totally crap.

Work is getting more boring, and i attend the 6th council AGM today. They have many aims and objectives to accomplish, but i don’t know whether will they go and achieve it. I’m glad to see that my publication department is doing a great job, at least there are 2 of them doing things. Unlike me, my assistant is total useless, and i had to do almost all of the things alone. Posters, banners, website, jacket, tee shirt, and of coz there’s more but i can’t remember all.

Alright, here’s the match result for today’s POL-ITE basketball mens:
TP (64) – ITE (63)
RP lost to SP (forget points)
NYP won NP (forget points)

TP vs ITE was a freaking exciting match, with ITE leading all the way until last quarter. TP fights back by getting in quite a number of 3 pointers and some really good fastbraeks which pull the score from losing over 15 points to taking the lead by 8. The last 35 seconds was the most awesome one, with ITE losing 8 points. Within the 35 seconds, ITE used full court press and got back 3 balls, got in 2 fastbreaks and 1 3 pointer shot. But too bad in the last 3 seconds of the game, ITE let away their defense and allowing a TP player to get hold of the ball, who lets the time passes.

Lol

good game

Basketball session today was canceled due to rain, so i went to catch the basketball men POL-ITE games at the sports hall. The opening match was between 2 powerhouse poly, TP and NYP. It’s a super nice match after all, with TP’s victory over NYP by 3 points. RP won ITE by over 10 points, and SP won NP by 3 points. Good experience today after watching the matches, makes me want to improve and prepare for my staff competitions and constituency games.

Rexaz cheerleading camp this weekend, and most of the protocol stuffs I’ve already settle, or in fact all it. I’m quite worried about this because they still have me now, but when i enter army, they will do to do everything on their own. Sadly, their adviser is quite lazy to do this and that, and I’ve done all the necessary stuffs for her. Even worse, one of the advisor ask me to do things as if i won’t do it, or as if i owe her a huge debt or whatsoever. The sight of her makes me puke. Without the top supporting them, it’s quite hard for students to accomplish stuffs.

I’ve gained a lot working as a staff in RP, plus i was once in their shoes, it makes me understand both sides better now.
