feeling good, sort of

my fellow psycho adult leaders, Sean (green shirt) and Marcus (singlet)


Sec 4's and half built heavily modified abseiling tower.


Heads for the gateway, more pics when fully completed estimated by Friday.


Kitchen shed for sec 1 orientation. The ground looks a lot worse than in this picture. It currently looks, feels and smells like a mangrove swamp.

So preparation for the upcoming competition is progressing well. We were talking about it yesterday and it seems like every meeting a new problem surfaces. Yes, they don't repeat old problems, they create NEW ones.

feeling good because i finally set up the network in my house such that my sisters can print their documents from the laptops without disturbing me on the desktop! no more excuses for them to use the desktop!!!!

sort of because tutorials start next week, signaling the real start of school and time to go back to the library.

i want pictures from wala wala tushara!

update

to my dear readers of this oh so boring blog, i owe you an update.

since my last post, i've been very busy and happily occupied with things to do. first of there were exams. it felt like it was only yesterday that i came out of the hall feeling like i was going to fail my thermodynamics and mechanics.

then it was the small party we had at the chalet. nice to see the guys all back and to meet nesh after so long. lots of catching up, not too much booze, the kind of party that i like. after that was my trip to UK to visit my dear girlfriend. spent lots of time together and did lots of grocery shopping. the secret is out, gillian and i like to do grocery shopping together. and also other types of shopping, but more grocery shopping than anything else. we went to lincoln market which was a christmas market and had my first taste of mulled wine, which is red wine with herbs and served warm. didn't really like it. as for the lack of pictures, it's because i didn't bring a camera, and if you want to see them you have to ask gillian for more. we're boring that way.

christmas in bath
watched lots of tv in bath. those should be gillian's feet i think

notice the cup in the background.

all set for dinner

my remote control car

more presents

everyone

making mince pies
Note: British people are a weird bunch. minced meat is actually an assortment of fruits. there are other examples which i do not remember at this moment.

more pies

at the pump room having tea.

well so i had a really wonderful time in bath. spent my first christmas with gillian and it was very nice. got to know the family quite well. hopefully her dad can still remember my name the next time i see him. haha.

so ever since i've been back, it's been a whole lot of scouts scouts and more scouts with a little bit of school in between. the boys are preparing for a competition in the middle of february and time is running out. it doesn't help that the scout HQ hasn't properly laid down the rules as these competitions are usually rife with cheats and more cheats. this is mostly caused by insider information which we don't have and people playing around with the rules due to the lack of proper standards. we are trying our best and we know we play fair. but sometimes silver isn't just as satisfying as getting overall champion(which we are so capable of attaining) when you compare it to playing it fair and being honest. the rain isn't helping very much as it has made the whole area in front of the scout den a nice mud fondue. we have pretty good ideas for the main events and the other activities need lots of practice though time is running out. so my time after school is mostly spent on scouts and going down to help the boys.

one of the ventures (J1 and J2 old boys) made a comment when we asked them to help the scouts out. This boy said that previously, ventures didn't need to do any work and they were the ones telling the boys what to do. I of course didn't say anything and just told him to do what i told him to do. but what the ventures don't realise is that the whole reason why they are still the working minions/slaves is because they are unwilling to step forward and say that they want to be in charge. It's not just about ordering the boys around. it also has to do with problem solving and coming up with solutions and also thinking two steps ahead. but people will always complain.

just for dinesh

i realise that my best efforts to make this blog as anonymous as possible has been foiled by jan and gill. thanks for putting my full name in so that people can find my blog!

prizes for people who get the connection between this quote and the picture. no, there's no deep significant meaning or anything, just a very simple one.

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face… was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime…"

news!

well, it's been a good weekend. watched casino royale on friday at great world city. it seemed like i haven't been there in a year but it hasn't changed much. anyway casino royale is a damn good show. to all those poeple saying that it sucks just because daniel craig is ugly, what idiots. it's supposed to be different from the normal bond movies, and i guess that's what i like about it. also, it was nice to see that the bond girl wasn't just something bond had sex with. and i want eva green's handphone.


saturday was spent spreading The Greater Good to the planet of Kronus. and i finished rainbow six, thus leaving no time for work. sunday was even better, woke up and went to church. found out that the tiny lady with her son who always sits in the same place as us is actually someone big in SJI international, because hannah is applying there. went home and ensured that no heretics and disbelievers were left on Kronus. After that was a excellent buffet dinner at grand copthorne. it was also a scout meeting with all the leaders and a farewell dinner for adrian and charles. sashimi was so good, i bet i ate a salmon. couple of interesting things happening for the scout group next year, with a couple of changes to the group council.

New RSL - Malcolm
New VSL - Boon Leong
New Groups QM's - Marcus and Sean

Also, the revival of our old scout group, 2103 Hippo Scout Group at SJI International. Lots of old fogeys will be called back to help set it up so looks like it's going to be interesting.


left the meeting feeling pretty good about the next year for scouting. lots of activities and stuff to keep me busy.

2007, 100 years of scouting!


not being able to talk to you for 4 days makes me realise how important you are in my life.

volkswagens are super safe

like they say, 87% of statistics are made up

SUN Students

Let's not take this out of context. In the forums, the subject was about the recent suicides in singapore and how stressful it is living here. So here's a reply to the conversation which made me realise that there are actually people in SUN that are fucking stupid. or racially intolerant. i prefer the former. academically well to do but still retarded.

Here's this guy's post.
"iuhgnoY ouL (Year One idiot)

I will not want to migrate to Malaysia though we can see the obvious advantages.

1) Lower costs of living. Cheap food, cigarettes, liquors and KTV etc. What is life when you are missing out on these?

2) Finally, can own cheap cars and housings. No more double charging on these things. Can own one Proton Gen 2. haha. I think Singapore Government is crazy about money. What are there so many ERP gantries when you pay road tax but is not allowed to use the road? Somemore, they can use the same old excuses over and over again. Sigh, so much for a creative society.

3) The best is I only live in Malaysia but work in Singapore. Then I can use the high exchange rate of Singapore dollars to get a better lifestyle in Malaysia. Of course, that includes wine, cigarettes and KTV.

Disadvantage:

1) I don't like Malays. How?

Solution: I think I should migrate to Taiwan because they are more human and friendly. It's true because I am speaking from experience.

"

*blood boiling* i don't like you. how? what, malays are not as human or friendly? stupid fucking retard. HAS ANYBODY NOT MET A MALAY PERSON THAT IS NOT FRIENDLY? malay guys are definitely the easiest to be friends with. i can only think of so many reasons why he wouldn't like malay people.

1. He got owned by a malay officer/sergeant in NS.
2. He got owned by a malay student in whatever he studied.
3. He is stupid.

subsequent posts are made with responses equivalent to a 15 year old, going hehe haha hehe, and "pls dun fl8me me". you expect people not to flame you after making such an insensitive remark? grow up you idiot, singapore's not just full of chinese people.

does his second point even make any sense to anything? ERP = cannot use roads? want to drive but don't want to spend? what, petrol free ah? the government must be creative to explain shit to you? why am i not surprised? you sound like you need a rattler just to get your attention.

i'd bash him up if i had a chance. *whacks stupid year one* that's what you get for being STUPID. fucking retard.

exams coming soon. have to work really hard. thermodynamics is really tough.
