Tthe holidays passed as quickly as how jiajie ran for 2.4, just like the wind.
Its also the first time i treasured a 1 week break so much, everyday passed is a day closer to prelims round2.
okay so basically the hols were spent ( in chronological order)
sunday : Spent the whole day @ Johorbahru, City square. caught 2 movies , Meet Dave & Zohan(AGAIN) for the price of 1 ticket in SG ( $8++) !!! Zohan wasnt really good cause ya know its in Malaysia and they censored almost every part where Adam Sandler gave the Old ladies some bangboom, so the humour level sorta halved.
& coincidentally , its Malaysia's national day on that day so everything went on DISCOUNT!! Minahs , Mats & all mahmuds thrs A DISCOUNT!!!!
did some shopping as well
then... the rest of the weekdays were spent studying alittle & gaming almost everyday til late at night with 2j folks & Edmund Tan Peh Hork. si bei song.
Friday : I went to Cityharvest (jurong west). MJ & CHURCH , what an oxymoron!! okay la but it was rather enjoyable with the rest of my classmates , thanks ah gina & fangying. Edmund supposed to go but he sneakingly went somewhere else and told us he had something urgent, what a peh hork.
i remembered someday telling us an anecdote about the evolution from caterpillar to a bfly & it was rather interesting, reminded me of the one that zhuting blogged before.
Went to a nearby kopitiam after which, and on the way we saw LOTS OF chunkits camping at the ATM MACHINES!! PAY DAY!! hoseh ah.
Last 2 days were spent studying of course , yeah that sums up my hols.
August 2008 had been a great mth , very fun from NDP til the start of the hols.
okay anyway , went Safra's Bayrun with aziel, eugene , nelson , matthew & benjamin tan the day before prelims not too far a distance - 10 km, what a great way to spend your morn hahah. this run is rather enjoyable compared to other runs/races i'd been thru , how often do you see bands playing , cheerleaders in their very revealing apparels ^ ^ rooting for you when you run! & ya, its pretty well organised , guess im gonna participate in more Safra events.
well, thres another event called SAFRA AVventura coming up next year 11th january
http://www.safra.sg/ go have a look , very cool, its something like BB's AQ i guess. Juniors i suggest u go have a feel of it , prepare urself for AQ as well. Rather costly thou , 1 team comprising of 2 members have to pay $100+ excluding items needed for the race.
Yup, so its time to stop slacking and get my shitzels working! 40+ more days to o lvls cya guys, study!

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more informa tion, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart for it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away

26th July, Saturday - The Founders Award Presentation Ceremony
It was my first & last time wearing the Ceremonial Dress + anklets. It is supposed to be the highest & most prestigious award someone can attain in his 4 years of Senior BB life. However i felt otherwise for the 'Prestigious' part, there were 204 recipients! Undeniably, i felt really good still.
Venue : Singapore Swimming Club , Tanjong Rhu. ( beside Dunman High's campus ) Basically, it was a 9-course dinner + prize presentation and sharing of testimonies by former BB boys. One of which is Mr Khoo Boon Hui, Commissioner of Police, Singapore Police Force also the GOH of that day. The 9-course meal was not as promising as it sounded, nevertheless it was the best meal i had in the last 4 years with BB. ( as compared to baked beans, Maggi noodles spammed with MSG, tuna, chicken franks etc. )
Yours truly. FM GAN. Squad 2 bra-thers I hereby express my gratitude to all those who attended the ceremony together with Bengan & myself. Left to right(standing) : Mr Daniel Lim ,FM Gan , FM Ko , Mr Oi Tze Liang, Mr Lee Jing Han Left to right(sitting) : My eldest brother, Mr Poh Seng Kiat, Mr Marcus Khoo , Bengan's mama. of course there was Pastor Steven ,however he left early thus is not in the image above.
I would like to thank the officers for all that they'd teach me, the one that left the most impact was still : Accountability. Pastor Steven for his leadership habitudes lessons, you've enlightened me alot. Mr Oi for being an old friend (literally) & teaching me how to look at things from a different perspective(hope you won't beat around the bush so often).Mr Poh for always being patient & kind. My batch & especially Jinghan , Bengan , Chongrui for all that we'd been together in BB. Seniors for skills they have imparted through Visual Learning & juniors for offering us the chance to tekan. Bra-thers and Mr Yang. Met this Sir @ LDC2 last year, and we did what we promised. yeeha. fight!!! jinghan : NOOOOOOOOOOOO. My achievements for the past 4 years. (lack of NYAA silver)
2nd august, Saturday - The 3rd Jamming studio @ _

08 / 08 / 08 , Friday , Its almost national day today HEEHAH. HUA HEE TIO HO!!!!!
Wassup, the entire day's activities been summarized on Jane's blog <--Click me weihua Nicholas and Jiajie arrived pretty much earlier than Uncle Hassan. & yeah we had a hell lot of fun AIR BENDING.
On the whole ,AHS NDP08 was ecstatic, the parade was not too bad. The only hooha that shocked me was that the dude whom i preceded did not put on his cap. Rest of the performances were pretty good. i heard this was the first time sec4s put in so much effort for the cheering competition. i liked 4f's , 4l's where chongrui put on the Mas Selamat mask and my class' of course. It's a pity that sokkoon did not shake her booty with us. awww
Anyway, im happy 4d managed to put up a hoseh performance for the fact that we only rehersed a few hours in total & that most people participated much unlike some bowl-headed taiwanese brat, xialin warriors and her gang. 4d The few who co-ordinated 4d's performance. Special thanks to Marcus & Isabella for doing the most.
After NDP, the 2k dudes went to kbox with tony, 3some& some others went sakae, everyone left except for CKT. I must say C's really bagus for waiting for us to sleep for 2 hrs and buying bubble tea for me and weihua.Its those little and insignificant kind gestures that makes people happier. thanks jane.
went to meet the 2j gigs, quite a good attendance today, ate, caught a movie and chilled. sheena didn go as she had FIR concert, sian. hope she enjoyed herself thou ^ ^
