So fast. So swiftly. So silently.
A year has passed.
I'm no longer lower Sec.
Finished my streaming.
Chosen subjects that determine my career.
All gone in the blink of an eye.
School Days
I'd gone to school in Corp Tee, cos Shreyas told me so. So well even though we were supposed to be in it the majority of the school wasn't.
I stayed in class savouring the memories. Duty. Times after NCC, slacking in class half-changed.
Our CT and PCT, Ms Kavita and Mdm Lin Hui, on the last day of school, made us clean up and clear out our lockers.
Stayed in class watching Arul play DotA with Pratheesh, Nic and Hemanth, with Mark's guidance. Darren came to get me for shooting, but I had a number of reasons not to go.
1. Tired from Orienteering competition, 24Oct.
2. Injured. Neck strain, back strain,
3. I wanted to stay in school to see my new CT/PCT, and get the booklist. My mum agreed.
So Joel and I stayed in class.
Recess was the last soccer we ever had. Since ACS(Pri) boys were around to view the school, the astro was mostly taken. So we played by the side of the field.
Mark, surprisingly, took over the role of goalkeeper from the usual YuShiang/Ben/Mingyang and the not so usual Swathikan. He joins the league of players in our soon-to-be extinct class who can play at all roles on the field, and play them well.
We had an hour of fun. Mark, Nic, Arul, Kevin, Ben. Those were our players.
Soon it was time to move to our new classes. Ms Kavita checked the lockers, then made us line up in twos with what were supposedly our tables. You see, ACS(Indep) has this policy of giving us tables in year 1 that follow us, and must be kept in tip-top condition till year 4. But, you see, our classrooms are constantly used for O-level/church activities, they all get messed up pretty quickly. As a matter of fact, I remember losing my table somewhere mid-year last year. Cos they even drag them to other classes.
Went to 3.11. It's near the central staircase on yellow level ;D
Booked a seat at the back near Nic Lee. Not like I want him near me, but there wasn't any choice.
WeiRen sits beside me. :o. Might be irritating.
Nevermind. Koonmin booked his place beside mine ;D
Good 2.10 friends.
Mrs Evelyn Tan and Mr Kenneth Ong (Oh, that blur guy! [refer to Mid-year 2007 Maths paper post]) are our new CT/PCTs.
Kenneth Ong wrote:
I am Mr Kenneth Ong.
I am fierce.
HAHAHAHA. See his face and you know he isn't.
Then he gave out worksheets for Advanced Maths for those who wanted them, so I got a set for Koonmin too, but some of them only had one, or even no worksheets left. Then Koonmin took those that had one left, and gave me none. Pfft. Haha.
Peter Isaac Koh is Malaysian :o
Which is why he makes friends with Jaira (hahaha)
Mrs Evelyn Tan made us remember some things.
Day 1 of school.
Passports. 2 books to give to the people in Chiangmai. And gave us the booklist.
Wanted us to cheer for 3.11 Elisha.
Voted the new Chairman/Vice-chairman, which turned out to be Kenneth Lim (Kenneth Ong wrote that Kenneth had a nice name) and Leon Chng (who Kenneth Ong wrote as Ch'ng, circled the apostrophe as remove, and Mrs Evelyn Tan pronounced as Layong Chink) respectively.
Went around a few classes after that, managed to talk to quite a number of people. Ben Wee, Junyi...
Poor Junyi. He misses his class, and then when he had them he complained about them.
Decided to play soccer at the basketball court after school for a while, to relive the memories for a last time.
A kind of darkness hung over us...the thought that we might never get to play again in the same circumstances, as a class plain complaining about the CT.
Finished after 45min, bought a drink and a snack, then walked with Swathikan towards MRT and home.
On the MRT we talked a lot. What we were gonna do. How we missed the year. How Swathikan is gonna train up his body. How he's gonna do reading up to be a better prefect.
I totally remember. Last year's last day of school.
Also 26Oct. But it was a Thursday. 27Oct06, a Friday, was given to us as a holiday for the Rugby B Div win.
2.20pm. Swathikan and I rushed to the MRT, rushed home.
It was a gloomy day.
I still remember. How, as Yu Shiang put it, this exact time last year (8.10am) Mrs Panthradil, our 1.13 CT for '06, cried as we gave her a card to send her off. Because, through the year, we had hated her steadily, but finally, as she decided to resign that year, in no small part to us, her worst class ever, we had given her a card that had touched her all the way in and broke her down...
I cannot believe that just 2 years ago I'd just gotten my PSLE results. Called my mum, who wasn't so happy at a 263 while Alex had gotten 271. How Alex promised to give me a gift of cowdung for not going to RI.
How we'd just finished the Sarawak trip (27-30Oct) after PSLE.
How I'd been mad over Dot that time.
How we'd gone to Sarawak to enjoy their culture. Pottery.
How Gabriel and me had been kept up because of the girls never ceasing to call our hotel room phone through the night.
How I'd been shy around girls...immature...so mean to some of the girls.
How we'd loved the flight. How...Primary school life was.
How I'd managed to enjoy the holidays without MSN, without going out with friends.
How I'd gone to TNG Camp '05, for the very first time, at Desaru.
How I'd been touched...slain by the spirit.
How I'd been moved by the enthusiasm of the youth in TNG, Audrey being a symbol of that.
I cannot believe how merely one year ago we were just finishing our first year in Sec 1.13. How we'd found Mrs Panthradil to be an unreasonable bore, who made us copy Life Science notes like mad, until our worksheets were covered with words.
How we'd given her that card, and how she'd cried.
Cannot forget how meaningful TNG Camp '06 was, how we'd played outside our resort rooms till the wee hours, how we got locked out of our rooms. How I'd met Cleo there. How it had rained, but even through the rain we had fun.
How we'd dunked so many people.
I cannot believe how fast this year has passed. Guard of Honour - Founders' Day. SYF - Guitar Orch. Promotion to Corporal. Lim HQ. Silver Wing. NCC Day parade, the first ever at Amoy Quee in NCC History. Mr Lui Tuck Yew, who somehow managed to be the guest of honour for both NCC Day and One ACS National Day celebration. Guard of Honour - National Day (One ACS). How I'd stayed up with Darren cos the room was too noisy, we'd listened to music with my near failing earphones. Went out to buy food to snack on...Went to bathe with Siva in...yes...the girls' bathroom, cos according to our then Staff Rajesh it was such a cleaner place as compared to the boys' toilet downstairs. How we'd found the soap I still keep...
I cannot believe that in a year's time, we'll be getting our long pants. Next year I wouldn't be considered lower Sec anymore.
I cannot believe how, in 2 years' time, we'll be sitting in a class with girls, if all goes well.
How, in 3 years' time, I'll be completing my stay in ACS(Independent). Taking my first exam that will grant me a Diploma.
How, in 4 years' time, I'll be entering NS.
How, in 6 years' time, I'll be entering University with God's blessings.
How, in x years' time, I'll be...in love.
Maybe someday, I'll have to look back on the days of my youth as I grow older...they'll only be memories, nothing I can do anymore...I don't wanna grow old.
Time passes so fast...past, present, future...
Went home and played guitar for a while...I was feeling weird. That the year passed so...fast.
Maybe, as Junyi says, Carpe Diem.
Camp Comm - Missions
Met Jonathan Teng, Lionel, Jon Choy, and Cai Ying for dinner.
Went to buy some tidbits, then went to the water cooler, filled water, got the key from the Security guard, and went up to the conference room - 3rd floor.
JonTeng played with my phone while CaiYing and I went to the church office to see Auntie Sylvia to submit my Missions money balance - $350. Went to talk to Uncle Jeff, who thought he saw me on Facebook. Haha, maybe my friends were nice enough to upload pics of me lorrr.
Heather came when I arrived back, and Jon Teng had used my phone to SMS Choy, who had asked why I'd sent that SMS, which caused the table to laugh.
While we were praying to open the meeting, Grace Chan came. Haha.
So anyway we were introduced to what we were for. We were planning a camp for the Thai people, from the 26th to 28th Dec. WE were the camp comm, cos they thought Sec 2's/Sec 3's should have early experience in planning.
So they split us. Haha, since Lionel was with Heather, Choy made me switch with Lionel.
Maybe Choy knows that Heather and I get along well?
So Heather and I took the slot for the campfire night. 27th Dec. The other group took the icebreaker slot.
Haha I shall keep the details secret so we won't spoil anything. All I will say is, I made the right choice in buying the seaweed flavour chips. Haha, they were d'licious!
Anyway, we settled the next meeting for next Tuesday, though none of the gals would be around. I would have to go after my PSL training.
At this point Heather goes "really? me too! high five!"
Well, Joyce got a Click Five CD autographed at Ministry of Sound. It looks real cool...silver glitter pen!
Fruitful day!
The days...they pass so fast.
Aw Hon's leaving for Australia on Monday for a month.
Have a safe trip!
Socoool.
Mahday. (saturday).
Slacked on MSN.
Played a few games with Natalie.
Finally gave everyone (those who have active Friendsters) a happy EOEOY comment.
Haha.
Pre-church
Gosh. I had a stomachache, then needed to gel my hair cos of a promise to Christie, and well myself. Cos she gave me gel for last year's Christmas, so I'd thought after-EOY was an appropriate time to try.
Uh. It took longer than expected. So I got out of the house 25min behind schedule. CRAP.
Anyway. Managed to get to Kovan MRT at 6.30. Which wasn't too bad, I was supposed to meet Tricia and Hon at 6.15.
I called him, he said he was waiting for Tricia at MRT (ho someone's LATER :D). And his sis was walking around with his grandmother. Cool! He said my hair was a joke. Haha hmpf.
Then we went down to MRT, then Tricia gave us another call saying she was already upstairs. Haha. Madness!
Went up again, saw her with Jonathan Teng. :o Unexpected.
Tricia was lamenting that her father wore the same "Flash" T-shirt as her (so she was wearing a pullover though it was hot) cos the public was thinking whoa this guy got so young girlfriend. Girlfriend or daughter. HAHAHAHAHAH.
In the end Tricia Hon Jonathan Teng and I went to the hawker but there were no seats.
Hon's grandma deposited Kimberly Adeline Hon (hah, found out her full name) with us. Then Tricia commented that their grandma was "So young!" Then haha I asked her to say louder cos it was a compliment.
In the end Joseph Teng also joined us. We went to Macs to eat. Tricia kept saying I looked like I was balding (Hon messed up my hair!)
Haha as we were ordering Brannigan came too. To lighten up the mood?
I took Filet O' Fish.
Hon helped me with my hair. Then it looked okay. He said I put too little wax/gel?
Tricia and Kimberly took care of our bags while we ordered. So naturally they left after we went back to the seats.
Mac's was crowded. Some birthday party was going on.
We joked around, finished our burgers.
Kimberly and Tricia took SUPER LONG.
You know why?
Cos Hon and I bought Filet O' Fish set.
So that's two right.
I had to wait 3min for mine.
Haha then the both of THEM ordered.
Same thing.
Wahahaha.
So they waited 15min?
We'd finished our burgers and were digging into fries by the time they came back.
Not bad, eh.
So while they were eating we continued to joke.
Got some curry sauce, thanks to HON who took for himself but not me. Heehee.
Then Brannigan kept using the straw to shoot these bits of ice at me and Hon like projectiles. Didn't help that Brannigan's had force and Jonathan Teng's had lots of water to accompany the projectile.
One of Bunny's hit the back of my neck.
It was like a 'cold, stinging sensation'.
Haha.
SO we finally moved off at 7.15, and then got on an 81. Then Bunny and Joseph jaywalked, so Tricia, Hon, Kimberly and I were left.
Then Tricia kept saying Kimberly was SOOOO quiet.
Service
By the time we got in (Hon messed up my hair in the toilet, then abandoned me) they'd started singing.
I saw Christie give me a glance, then a stare. (It's her gel, I'd promised, I did use it!).
They were singing some weird song.
I felt like an idiot with my hair.
Ryan was singing! He looked kinda cool with his white shirt and jeans and this necklace. That looked a bit like dogtags.
Anyway the only song that touched me through worship was "Planetshakers - All I Want Is You".
Junyi looked super depressed so I sat beside him (switch seats with Hon).
We had cool announcements! Uncle Jeff highlighted the insert that mentioned we were moving to PLMGSS. Oh, like finally they set a date. Haha it's been the talk for months already.
Then registration on Oct20 for Junior Camp!
And Jon Choy made an announcement for night cycling. Aiya, confirm cannot.
Pastor Reuben preached! About how we were masterpieces. Asked us to stand, said this was serious, made us put hands on cheeks, and say MASTERPEAS.
At least, that's how it sounded.
Anyway.
He gave us a few bible references.
Quite cool!
Then Hon and Junyi (right and left respectively) who didn't bring their bibles shared with me.
Hon was rather insensitive about Junyi. There Junyi was feeling depressed then Hon goes "You feeling gay?"
WHAT?!
Anyway. SERMON was about Pastor Reuben giving us many passages from the Bible showing that we were something more than the other creations of God (Gen - it was VERY good ah.) and that we were the pinnacle of God's creation.
And that his job was to reveal the masterpiece in us. Cos he couldn't make us into any more of a masterpiece than God could.
Haha he was using the example of the painting Mona Lisa, and says he'd go up there with a black marker pen and draw a mole with a few hairs (haha, sexy mole!) and then say it was a masterpiece.
Haha. As he says, "No more Reuben."
And then he called up his whole team on stage and then called them by name, then we got a few laughs out of "UB" (Uncle Blue - Allan. [Ah Lan]).
Then they were asked to strike a pose and most of the men were like "WHAT." Haha. Then Rachel cried. Awwwww.
Yeah but anyway his message was that we were all masterpieces.
And so as we closed with All I Want Is You, he made the call for those who wanted to be revealed as a masterpiece to move to the front.
Hon and I went first. We were like the first group there.
So after singing the song then I glanced behind me...then WHOA like nearly the whole church was behind us.
Felt good. Like whoa, so many people are behind us. All the way! Jiayou! Haha.
Post-Service - Upstairs
Went back to my seat. Junyi was feeling lost.
Stayed with him while other people moved off.
So I let him well let it out. Yeah.
Then Ryan came and was as clueless as Pastor Reuben who soon walked by.
So after a talk to Pastor Reuben (Yay, ACS!) we went down.
First thing was Cleo.
She braided her hair. Like, WHOA. Never seen her in that style before.
And cos she was wearing this pullover that looked like a jersey and was not wearing her heels she looked like a super-cute schoolgirl. Haha.
Then she'd said she had something important to say to me in person, then conveniently forgot about it. Tsk.
She thought I was emo-ing cos I was looking down. Haha maybe Junyi affected me a little, so I was thinking about it.
Jon Choy wanted me to sign up for the Night Cycling Expedition (Hah, COOLER name. KEWL.) so he gave me a form. Which I can't go for. Heh.
Oh then uh Tricia was talking and haha went to talk to her lorrrrr.
Jiawen comes more regularly now. Now it's for FLORENCE.
Bunny thinks she's super muscular :o
Junyi was taking pictures.
Dwight bit my shoulder. Haha!
Ryan's 'dogtag' said Chicken in Traditional Chinese. Then he was like that's cos that's the year I'm born in. Then I said haha as if I wasn't either. Then he put on his bestest 'FINE LOR' face.
Tricia was giving these brownie things away. Then this guy Joel was eating one, then asked what was inside. Then cos he always bullies/teases Tricia she said she put in her earwax. That's why it was so starchy. Then haha Joel looked at it and pretended he saw this 'green squirmy thing' looking at him and Tricia said it was her mucus and I was like WHERE. Haha. Made a fool of myself cos I didn't know what was going on. But it was real funny. Minutes of entertainment.
Yeah then as I was going off with Tricia and Jiawen to the bus stop with Ryan and Hon and Russell and Jeremy following us I saw Jon Choy and hollered his name and asked what time cell was cos Ryan and Junyi were asking.
Then he was like YOU COME HERE. Which one of you shouted? So I owned up. Then haha he went "because you owned up you will not owe me the 30 you would have owed me if you hadn't. But because you did own up you will owe me 20."
Haha like WHAT?! But ah 20 ain't so bad.
At the bus stop we chatted awhile with Hon and Hon's sister and Tricia and Jiawen and Jeremy and Junyi and Ryan...then my 81 came and Hon said he'd come with me.
Then haha when I tapped he quickly backed out. Hmpf.
Yeah, that's church service for you!
Sunday - Cell
Cos dad was preparing for exams my mum parked at HDB and I walked with her.
Went to chop a place at basement.
Choy soon came after talking to Joseph/Jonathan's mum.
Practised a few songs then passed the guitar to Junyi who went crazy over metal.
Wilma was doing Rubiks cube. I feel like getting one already.
Cell was nothing but sorting out why people didn't listen during sermons and why some walked out, so won't touch on it.
Haha when we wanted to close Jon Choy stared at the girls cos they were making noise, then they realised we were quiet, stared at us, then kept quiet.
Then hahaha we laughed so Jon Choy was like when they make noise open the Bible to Ephesians. Wives, submit to your husbands. Then they will show you, husbands, love your wives. Then you show them the former verse again and slam the book shut.
Like, haha?!
Heather gave me a look. I could only shrug and look clueless.
Lunch
Went across to this weird place.
Table was too small for us.
Ordered Roasted Breaast Chicken Rice.
Then the guy gave me stuff that was 60% fat and bone.
Church
Went up to third floor with Junyi and accomplished quite a bit from 12-1! Brannigan came and took a look. Ryan went to FCBC. Ohwell wanna go there sometime.
Took a break. Then asked where Cleo was.
Dwight was playing bluff. Haha.
He had nearly the whole deck.
Joseph Chan won.
Then Nic came with a ball! Soccer ball. So me and Brannigan fooled around with it.
The church office lady came out several times to tell us to keep quiet. Then Isaac was still playing guitar. Hahaha.
Dwight and Nic were trying to hit Brannigan with the soccer ball and then suddenly Dwight threw it into my face and I was caught off guard. Like WTH luhh. Haha. But I still don't know if he meant it.
As he said, "You're still beautiful enough for my sister."
Hahaha.
Cleo came when we were talking about her. Haha so funny.
So now I became the cute small boy.
Oh what happened was.
We were looking out the window.
Brandon was picking up his cousin from Kindies.
And then Cleo came.
Then cos it was raining.
She was like.
David. Why are you so emo! You're looking out of the window on this dark stormy...day! Hahahahah. Like what?!
Then she looked out of the window and was like OHMYGOSH that guy in the green t-shirt is SOOOOO CUTE!
Then Brannigan and I were looking out and all we saw was the green doors so haha we went Haha Cleo you're the emo one!
Then finally we saw who she was talking about! xD
Then we talked for this WHOLE LONG WHILE.
Like ohman long long long.
Till like 1.30.
Haha but it was so fun!
Cleo kept asking me to entertain her.
But then I didn't know what she liked, and what she wanted! So how.
Cannot lor. Haha.
Tell her stories.
Then Junyi was like "oh the soccer ball teacher story".
Then Samuel came with his guitar and then they were playing "Three Doors Down - Story of a Girl".
Got Junyi to go through how to do devotions, then wrapped up for the day.
After a while Brannigan and I were getting bored so at 2.30 we took the ball down to kick around.
And the ground was wet. Haha.
After a while Junyi joined us.
Then we had to stop after a while cos the uncle said no playing in the open area. Oh well.
So went home. Haha.
As Hon and Jessica say,

My Friday and Saturday were a total waste in terms of mugging. I did practically nothing. Talked to people, slacked, played, watched a bit of "Transformers". Oh well :/ All my mugging to be done today. Ahhhh.
It was hazy when I got back last night. The smell of burning was thick in the air. Wonder why.
And now it's raining. Well, at least the pollutants will be cleared.
Anyway, about church yesterday.
Pre-church
Was talking to Cleo and Heather on MSN in the afternoon. So enlightening (:
Cleo was crazy over this small cute boy called Alistor, and she told me that in order to destress you should say 'hoohoo' instead of 'haha'. What?! Heh.
And since she hadn't been coming to church the past few weeks (she emphasised that God was still first, she'd been doing devotions at home, and you go to church cos of God, so God was more important than church. Haha) she decided to make a COMEBACK. Whoaaaa...
And Heather was singing! She told me so. Then I guessed correctly that Tricia was too. Tsk, they always sing together. Then Heather said the songs were sorta tribal (hahah, what's that mean!) and the last ones were rather frequent. And there was communion.
Well asked Hon if he wanted to go out for dinner cos my mum is out of town and my dad probably had something on too. He went "Yeah definitely! I'll get my sister lah."
Then by his sister I thought he meant Amanda Chua his "dajie". Haha.
Dinner
So met him at Heartland. I was early! So I went to Popular to take a look, then went into this music store? He called me twice and I didn't feel the vibration xD. On the third call I picked up, went round the corner and nearly walked into him.
And wow, what a great surprise! It wasn't his dajie, it was his biological sis! I'd only seen Kimberly Hon once before, at Hon's barbeque (where he burnt a chair after putting hot coals in a black trash bag on the chair). REALLY didn't expect it. Then Hon here was crazy about these 'girls' that were crazy over him and kept coming to him cos they (or rather he xD) thought he was hot.
Then Hon met his tuition teacher at the hawker. Haha! Then I teased him, thought only GIRLS were attracted to him.
Gosh.
Then Kimberly was real quiet. Then when we bought dinner haha she was like anything anything (:
Then while eating Hon teased her about having bfs. I mean come on luh, she's P6, do you have to pollute her (:
Then tease me also. Cleo here Tricia there Valerie dunno where. I mean come on luh xD.
Well well. But I guess it was nice to get to know his sis!
Hon kept making me laugh. But since I'm sick when I laugh it becomes coughing. Then they think I'm trying to be sarcastic. So it was hilarious.
Like, "Ohmygosh the girl likes me!"
*coughcoughcough*.
And then Hon was telling me that he finished his chinese paper in 10min, and his chinese compo was 12 words, then kimberly said she finished hers in 30sec, then Hon was impressed. Heh.
Mine was three pages long.
Church - Pre-service
We got to church quite early. 6.45. Then we got caught in the middle of the road under the flyover because of the crazy traffic light timing. Cos when you are on the bus it's red, right. Then so when it's green the bus goes. Then you have to walk real fast back to the junction to catch up to the traffic light which turns red from the side you come from, and then green for the side you're supposed to go to. But it's broken up, and the other side turns red before the nearer side does. So you get CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
Then Hon was crazy. Wave to random people passing by in their cars. He waved at the 53 (I dared him to) and read off the something delicious pizza from pizza hut. Haha.
We were a little upset at the closure of the toilet for upgrading xD.
Then went up to put our bags. Then cos we were so early, it was like 6.55, we weren't sure whether to go in. So poor Kimberly stood by the lift and Hon went to the toilet while I talked to Heather (there were some people hanging around outside).
As I recall,
1. Tricia was inside (groan, Heather!)
2. Heather was hungry.
3. I introduced Heather to Kimberly.
4. She said we could put our bags inside.
So once Hon was done we put our bags inside.
Tricia came out and waved like some madgirl to Kimberly. Haha.
I excused myself to visit the washroom thanks to the toilet upgrading downstairs, then caught up with them.
Well Jeremy Ling arrived, he seemed quite upset for once. Normally he's irritating, but this time he seemed depressed and dead serious.
Hon's sister followed us around everywhere. Junyi soon came.
Hon found a poem about a worm on the floor and read off it. Then while trying to grab it I accidentally tore a corner off. Then he let it go and it fluttered to the bushes.
Junyi brought out his irritating tennis ball (but well it's funny) and asked me to remember the time in March where he did the irritating quack thing.
Ling asked me about Physical Sciences. Namely Chemistry. Well. Let's see, he asked me about a few radicals.
But uh I really wasn't sure bout the -ide thing! But now I know it means you gain electrons.
Uh well then Heather and Tricia soon came complaining that they were super hungry. Heather hadn't eaten much for lunch, and this AV guy (they called him small boy) was buying food for them.
Then Heather was real scared she'd mess up the thing, so I tried to encourage her. But argh. I guess I really don't know how it's like? And I hate to be on stage, at any rate. Unless like I'm in the back row of the guitar ensemble (which I am xD).
Oh and then I teased Jarret about his girlfriend and he chased me round the church! So funny lurrr. It was like, first I ran into the Jordan Hall, then made a round around Thaddeus, Marcus and Ray, cos I realised the playground had a fence that would be more cumbersome than helpful. You know, hurdles. So I managed to scramble out of church past the guys near the gate. Poor Junyi got tackled. When he was nauseous! Hope you're okay mann.
Then haha made a round then hopped up the stairs and back into church. That was one of the best runs I ever had. Like, a WHOLE ROUND. And I was sick some more. Coughed after that.
Phew. Then we went up with Jarret and I back to normal, thanks to our "ACSI + RI vs. HCI campaign" xD. Then Junyi was like I hate RI and ACSI sucks. So Jarret was like grrrr at first, then HUH. Hahah.
Service - Worship
Went up, still seemed quite empty. Shuffled around. We left Hon downstairs cos he wanted to wait for Hanya so that his sis could sit beside Hanya who would entertain her so that she would come next time. But I knew Hanya would surely come late, with Cleo (ahemahem) so I didn't wait.
Came back in just as worship started. Tricia and Heather kept staring at the Sec 2 guys' section. Haha.
Two mysteriously missing people: Debb (who Junyi constantly gets teased about, poor guy) and Ryan. Russell came in without him.
Anyway the first song was "Rock Of Ages". I felt old. Haha. COS it's so old!
Then the second one was a VERY INTERESTING jazz remix of "Ron Kenoly - Mourning into Dancing" .
And finally a new song. So I really couldn't connect with worship this time :/
Then Heather did a cool solo for "When the Music Fades"! It was real nice.
Debb finally came. We had to usher her in to her saved spot. Heh.
Oh while worship was going on Cleo came up to Russell in front of me with a serious face and whispered some things to him. So I found it kinda weird, Russell rushed out after. I was real scared for him for a while, I looked at Junyi but he was as clueless as me.
Turns out he had to change. He finally came in nearing end of worship.
And Hon finally came in at 8 when worship ended. TOLD YOU HANYA WOULD BE LATE.
Service - Sermon, Communion
Rev Peter Koh spoke about moving into the promised land. I guess the only reason for this was to prepare us for moving into PLMGSS. He said he regretted not even being able to provide us with a proper place for cell, we were in the basement and third floor lying down, sprawled all over (isn't that the point of cell xD) and wanted to give us a better place. We would be moving into the PLMGSS concert hall which could seat 700 (and which to Jessica looks like a prison) and would have classrooms (oh gosh, they decorate their classrooms! [nono, I don't have a problem with that. Really.]) for cell group. So cell's gonna become more and more like lessons? Duwan!
Haha but actually they're putting a VERY BIG TASK on us guys. It's primarily a girls' school.
*wince*.
Heh. Some people will have heaven mixing around, but how many would actually feel comfortable.
Anyway we didn't listen much to sermon. Hon was SMS-ing Tricia. Then I asked him to ask her what she was holding, these furry key chain things, and she replied "Kyo and Chuck". Heh.
Then the next SMS after he sent he told me at the end he put "And David says you look great today." Then I instantaneously looked at her and haha she looked back. Then haha what followed was me trying to show her I had nothing to do with it, and her laughing away.
She replied "you guys so lame".
WHAT'D I DO?!
Then Hon was like aiya help you say only what, know you want to say.
I mean like haha what you want! Tease me some more ah. Haha. But I guess she looked great? Hon made me think about it and I couldn't think of anything to the contrary. Haha.
Junyi kept distracting the cell with the tennis ball till Jon Choy got angry then I had to clamp down on this activity.
Then, communion. Debb was unsure whether she could take. Cos according to her Anglicans needed to be affirmed in order to take. But I had no idea, so I was telling her that I hadn't been baptised or affirmed but I could take. Then Shawn dug into my back and pointed at Choy.
So I had to explain, if not he'd be madder.
Then finally he said we believe that if we believe in Christ and his death AND his resurrection we could take it, and that since she was a Christian already and baptised at birth some more if she was comfortable with it she could take it.
So I subsided.
Well. Junyi's first communion. How's that!
After service - upstairs
Anyway, after service ended at 9.15 I hung around for quite a bit. Asked Ryan why he was so late and why he had been so unresponsive, apparently he'd gone to Martin (2.15 guy)'s house to study, and then his bro had to bring and pass to him clothes for service, but he was wearing slippers. Had a bad hair day, too. Looked dishevelled. Wonder what happened to him.
Chatted with quite a number of people. Gracelynn, a little. Heather and Tricia till they had to go for debrief. Oh, and Debb was telling me about their last day of exams, same as us, Wednesday. Except that I ended 10.05, Junyi ended 12.35, MGS ended 1pm.
So I was kinda wondering what to do until MEP paper review at 12.45. And after.
Then she invited me to go along with them for some after-exam lunch thing.
Then I got a bit apprehensive.
Then she was like "Jess'll be there."
What?!?! Okay...?
Haha. Then it was at Jack's Place! She showed me the SMS. (ah, so ex-).
So in order to wriggle out I kinda said haha who'll be there! There'll be like so many girls to one guy.
Then she was like no, this girl this girl that girl this girl that girl...haha. Then she nearly mentioned Michelle Hwang (who I'd heard a lot about, Shakespeare innuendo) haha then she got set off in laughter. Then I said 'See the girl:guy ratio is like so many to 1. Then she continued spouting female names and the ratio just kept going higher. Haha. Then I said "Imagine what members of the public will think if 1 ACSI guy goes out with 10+ MGS girls!"
That settled the matter ;p
Oh and Hon wanted to know when the registration for TNG Junior Camp '07 was coming out. Cos it's in Sentosa this time, not Malaysia, so a lot more people are allowed to go. Like Hon and his sister. It'll be interesting!
So we went to ask Uncle Allan.
Then Cleo on the way took this foam sword and blocked Hon and me. Well, she wanted me, but Hon went crazy. Heh.
Cleo tried to get my Chinese name out of me. I'd told her Kai, and she didn't believe. Haha finally she deduced that if my Chinese name was Kai and Ong was Wang I was Wang Kai. And deduced she was smart (oh wowwww.)
And finally we asked Rachel and she said it'd be coming out soon, keep posted.
Gracelynn breakdanced a little. Cool!
After service - downstairs
Okay went down. First thing Heather spies me from the lift and so we kinda chat lor. Sigh, what with all the "heyyy, talk to me about cute guys!" and "psst, how's val doing." I can't talk to her much. Er anyway Junyi's around so she's like HEY YOU KNOW DOUGLAS TAY. And I can't say no, right, he's a good newfound friend. Then haha I just said "I have his MSN (:" and she went all crazy.
Junyi knew him but he didn't know Junyi. Heh.
And oh yeah Reuben was around. And then I got to know him. First time I saw him was Heather's birthday party (which was a lil too big) and then the second was when he was being scolded by Mr See Teck Hock in the library where we had gone for IvP, to mug, and well Mr See had to take our attendance so we saved Reuben.
Oh and Mr See somehow affected his exam cos he was the invigilator?
Weirdness.
Anyway went to talk to Debb a little more. And then we played with the ball that Hon had returned Mitchell. Like, Mitchell had it, Berwyn tackled him and got it, I tackled it from Berwyn and passed to Brandon, and well haha Brandon was being marked and he passed to me. So well we had a little fun with balls!
And uh went to talk to Tricia. Where I got stuck for the rest of the time, like. Cos she was with Jiawen, Valerie (different from the one I get teased about) and JieHui, and well they are very interesting to watch.
Eg. Jiawen and Valerie.
Valerie held two fists up, asked JW to pick her right fist.
Then haha JW kept pointing to her left fist cos from that perspective it looks like right. Facing each other.
Then haha Valerie put down her RIGHT fist and JW still kept saying RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT. So farni.
Got to play with Kyo and Chuck a bit. Kyo was this tiger which Brandon thought was Garfield (haha, it wasn't even striped!) and Chuck was this cute little Chick. And then I asked how much it was and she didn't know, and Hon asked how much she was selling it for and she said PRICELESS. Then she said, oh, $10.
Then Hon was like eeeyur how can you sell your friend away.
Then she said cos I can buy another one.
Then Hon said but it's not the same what. Haha.
Yeah anyway then we kept talking and laughing and talking and laughing. And Valerie said Hi to me and I smiled back, then Val poked JW and made her say hi to me, then JW said I know him what. Then Val took her hand, waved it, and said but you must still say hi to him what.
Haha.
Anyway after a while we played the thumb game. Haha. That one JENWEI taught me. The MEP ex-ACSJ friend. And he kept losing at it (:
And then after a while I realised Hon was gone (had to send his sister home, she lives in a different place from him, sadly), Debb was gone (parents had arrived), and Heather was still there (surprisingly, she'd have been long gone by 10pm).
So I left.
Yup.
Went with Brandon to the bus stop, then I saw his 53 and told him to run, don't ask. Heh. He caught it, and my 81 came right after. (:
For all of you who are having EOYs or O' or A' lvls out there,
MUG HARD! The results DO matter. God be with you.
Wonderful. The beauty of it all.
