timber wkshop

Life in uni is a endless struggle with the endless streams of funny-dressed ppl handing out brochures from the 'socialist' society and posters all arnd warning u of the unrealistic dangers of not joining the student union. at a rate of $6 per week, their capitalist act wun impress the socialists 4 sure.

Yest we had timberworkshop. so fun! we get to build a bridge from wood (hanna hanna of cos wood la, timberwkshp leh..) then the tanky teacher will put a load that looks like 500kg on it see the defection. ours defected for 69mm w/o breaking!!! wahahaha so ichiban. the other grps breaks almost instantly as the load hits the grnd with a deafening sound.

Next up we needta build a arch in which our teacher Mr Australia will load thousands of bricks on it with the sole purpose of destroying it.


Passer-by A: WAH V.NICE LEH!!
hannor hannor, i oso think so!


Our teacher who is truly a cognoscente with his work posing with the winner grp.. lihai leh this grp, tahan so many bricks....

the bridge.. the teacher ah, say:"what a nice piece of work" then throw our bridge into the corner mindlessly to be recycled then i quickly go pick up after class snap a pic b4 its minced by woodeating machines of the industrial evolution!

model and new phone

Today is a happy day as i actually got chosen as the class top 2 for my surface model! woohoo! but i shall be humble and stay low-toned. then just now presentation v.diu lian. cos arnd 4-5classes in the classroom then i thought i must present so i v.scared. then the teacher suddenly pointed and say "how abt that one? who made it?" then i quickly "me!" then i realize he pointing at another work not mine.. hahaha.. heng i "me" in a small voice, few heard me.. at class presentation i said smth like "cos the angle ah..." wahh when will i ever speak like an angmoh in eng and like a chinese in chinese.

Also today morning some strange man called then he went "hello, im from ASD#@FG$ telecom, u have won a new phone!!!" then he v.accented and i "ok..who r u agn?" "im ________from ___________" the _______ r the parts i missed. in the end i thought its a scam ah but he say "it will be delivered in afew working days" then hang up liao.. haha if its true then sibei gd la.. but i still like cannot believe leh, like i dun even know what telecom company is that..

But happy moments r so rare that im unhappy now agn cos tml need hand in numerous hw. the word numerous is v.gd to use, i used it abt 6times in my hist assignment the day b4 last.. keke..

And the copyright law strict dao~~~ i wanted to take pic of another person's model then my fren say "NO!! COPYRIGHTED!!!" then i scan arnd, ppl were actually just taking notes and noone's snapping shots. i exclaimed in wonder for the english capacity of those taking notes as they can actually copy down a 'picture' in the format of words.. amazing........

Yesterday was really a tough day! need present a model for a entrance to a gym,comments on article,and need to explain whats a mobius strip.. so the night b4 i slpt late to do the bloody entrance la..

In school,
Teacher:EDMOND! WHATS A MOBIUS STRIP?

Teacher:HMMMMMM... i think we can paint it with 2 colours then if we infinitely rotate it, the 2colours will merge..
*ohhhs and ahhhs echoed thru the classroom. i seriously dunno what the teacher meant.

later on,,,
Teacher:EDMOND! TELL US ABT UR PHOTOS DEPICTING 'SURFACE'.
me:ehhhhh... i nv print out any new pictures since last week.
ppl starts shaking heads in disgust, damnit, i thought this hw next week.

even later on,,,,,,,,,
Teacher:OK, HOW ABT THAT ENTRANCE MODEL OVER THERE? HAR,, EDMOND~ OK COME UP!

Teacher:streng?

Teacher:ohhhhhh...strength... why strength?
me:gym mah!!! (loud laughters)
(................ read it as stren-g cannot meh?)
meanwhile.. Teacher:its gd u r thinking along that line, so u can oso inculcate in like u know, vanity?

Then on monday, labour day mah.. then road block, tram stop, so everyone must walk.. tamade, really labour ah..

nice weather

Love the 4seasons ctries. its so cool that during cold days u can enjoy things like hot drinks while on hot days, things like icecream. u probably wun get that in sg where u can onli enjoy the latter scenerio. cold things makes ur heart weaker and gives u many problems, speaking of which it is said that we inhale so many chemicals, we wun decompose as fast. whats fang fu ji in english? so if b4 we die we tell our heirs, 'throw me into the sea, i wan to go with the waves.' then they really throw and if by chance u decompose slow enough to float till the south pole.. then hoho.. u no need think of ever decomposing liao.. plus u get floated by the sea water which in turn froze to ice givin u a permanent floated look.. oh boy, u'll be netted and put next to mummies in the british royal museum in showrooms showcasing the evolution of mummies..

hai..

Today went hse seeing. the house was WAHHHHHH.. damn nice la, its those japanese style architecture with those gardens and stick out wood blocks where one can dine. and their decorative theme oso v.japan and chinese. they even have those lantern lights. like those ancient chinese drawings on the outside. then switch on light the pics will be luminated.. hahahha.. the hse reasonably cheap compared to other areas. but then ah!!! AHHHHHH..

We took 765 there but the stop is at a loop arnd. means there is no bus stop for 765 opp.!!!! so what to do? FIND ANOTHER STOP LA.. then we finally found one arnd 1hr later partly becos we realize its a loop arnd onli after awhile.. then we wait wait wait at the stop then no bus came leh. then a drunk looking guy came and he was v.scary looking. haha then i wanted to ask him 4 guidance on my quest home but my mom stopped me. but thinking that i have enough influence from watching jet li and bruce lee films i asked him how to go the nearest railway station and i realize his eyes r GREEN!!! ahhhhhhh i alw wanted to meet a green eye guy cos they r exotic and rumoured to onli exist in italy!! then actually he v.frenly but indeed scary looking cos of being too drunk his eyes cant concentrate. however he was helpful enough to point us the right way (opp the road). phew.. we finally can go home.all thx to Mr Italy's green eyes which has the ability to check maps using global systems - -!!

At the station we suddenly smelt haze. then i thought, oh.. just someone BBQ-ing paper in their backyard but NO! the track was on fire!!!!! it was hot so i use my ultra high IQ to deduce the cause as heat. but then someone was yelling madly at the other side saying smth like "what??? u gonna hit me?" then i realize he threw a cigarette there or smth and burnt some of the rubbish there. and he was yelling at a cool looking bold chinese. wah and the chinese shot back insults leh.. strong man.. gd thing another guy went to extinguish the fire b4 a train came,explode,and we'll all be like those exploded away characters in walt disney cartoons.

And sch sure is tough! so many hw, projects and shit.. last time projects r done in grps of 4-5. or at least pair, now ALL INDIVIDUAL WORK!!! wah kao.. somemore need present many things in class. and need comment on many things leh. the teacher will suddenly ask u.. grrrl.. oh and that day i go out take pics on surface caught this wonderful pic!


hai... i oso dunno y i so lihai..

Post Alvl

As everyone was coming vis-a-vis with the harsh realities of A-lvl results release day yest, i was continuing life as usual here doing research on Shanghai for my history module. i've heard that much din do well, not just in JJ but in other schs too and sadly my allegory,or somewhat fable,of the spider din give much motivations. but there r still some ways to go, with the newest additions of unis to sg, it will be easier to get in some of it with worse grades. i dunno much abt SIM but NSW's got a new campus in sg, heard its easier to get in as interest isnt high. i dunno how true it is.

And i think the most easy way to go and perhaps the cheapest is actually going to London like cheewee to take the Alvls in june. its easier and u onli need 3mth of staying there. cheewee spent arnd 8000 for the exam and stuff so everything add up liao shld be arnd 20000+ SGD, sounds like alot but thats not even a yr's tuition fee in most oversea schools and it's 1time payment. after that can use the june results to apply singapore sch. but details on how to get abt doing this have to ask cheewee. i really dunno.

Hai.. anyway that day i saw this damn nice cat!!! v.v.v.pretty leh.. its gray and its domestic cat, but it will follow whoever that works by.. haha speaking of loyalty. then it follow me i quickly took some pics but all couldnt express even half of its beauty sadly.

Yest oso saw many boys and girls playing cricket on a amazingly hot day.. wahh no wonder angmoh all so strong la, since young they prac cricket in crazy hot weathers liao..

BMW motorbike advertisement!!

hohoho.. tree made from seashells! think i can host 'Artattack' liao.. YAY

scary and gd luck.

Today morning on the tram was scary. got this gangsta looking gangster walked up the tram and he was like swinging arnd in that 'hit me' style. then the ticket checkers was laughing at some jokes then the gangster which i shall call mr.flower for his flowery shirt asked 'what u guys laughin abt?' then the tix ppl replied 'well its a happy day.'
mr flower:yeah, despite death and hatred, life's still gd.

Wahhh i impressed leh, mr flower can say smth like this.. then after the tram took off the tix guys came arnd checking tix la and when they go up to mr flower, he suddenly yell 'i dun have a f$#king tix, what u gonna do muthaf#@ks, fine me?'
tix guy 1:'no we wun, we'll invite u down.'
mr flower:'well i'll travel w/o tix, so f$#k that!'
tix guy 2:'no nth's free sir, u got to pay.'
mr flower:'so u wan $ har.. u muthaf#@ks, i wun buy a f#@king tix! so money's wat u wan har? i wun buy the tix, u wan it u can take the f@#king money and buy it for me!'
(haha so fast submit liao but his voice damn vulgar and scary sounding.)
tix guys in union:'well we dun actually need ur $, our govt's rich enough, we just wan u to do the right thing, so what tix u wan?'
mr flower:'WELL I DUN CARE WHAT F$#KING TIX U R BUYING, JUST BUY ME A F#@KING TIX U MUTHAF@#KS!!'
and then it was all clear till mr flower alight and shooting the tix guys a warning which i cant hear quite well. it was damn scary la, and i was sitting right infront of mr flower and i thought he's gg to take me as a hostage to evade the tix 4 a moment there man.. gd thing it was over quite quickly but still its not quite smth that can happen in sg right..

And its Alvls tml! i suddenly remember a story that befits this situation rather nicely and can hopefully serve as smth motivational.

So theres a spider climbing this wall but it was wet from the rain earlier so it keeps climbing a bit and falling right back.

A man came along and saw it, 'hai...' he thought, 'aint i just like this spider, i worked hard like a idiot 4 all my life but what have i established? NOTHING!' soon, he died from sadness.

A 2nd man came along and saw it, 'haha..' he thought, 'aint it stupid of the spider? he could have tried some other paths up the wall.' soon, the man got a better job cos he learnt to be smarter.

A 3rd man came along and saw it, 'AHA!' he thought, 'aint it touching? even a spider can try relentlessly to get smth, and im here not working hard?' soon, he became a successful man in society cos he thinks positively and is willing to work hard.

This story tells us that perspectives of things can really change the outcome of it, so ppl, relax, take a deep breathe and whatever the outcome is tml, take it like the 3rd man and u'll do good! =)
