Thunder and lightning were roaring angrily yesterday. Cats and dogs splattered down my roof. The intensity of the rain was madness. The loudness of the thunder was deafening to the ears. I cooped myself in my room that very afternoon, resting (or shall I say, using my computer). “BOOM”, a thunder rang, “BAAM” the lightning sang, “KABOOM” my modem went. Bleh, it had seemed that the thunder has somewhat struck the house or something causing my house’s modem to go haywire. It all happened in a sudden when the lightning just struck and my computer immediately tells me that there was no internet connection. I could hear the modem crying out (clicking sound) but I thought it will be fine after awhile. But I was obviously wrong. It was seriously ill and could only continue looking at me with his red little eyes, staring at me as if he was telling me that he couldn’t take it no longer and he was internally injured.

Yet Another Busy Week
At least this week isn’t as bad as the last one. All weekdays came home around 6-7pm except Thursday, which I came back home at 4pm! Woohoo! A little bit more time to play rest. There are a lot of events that took placed over the past few days and weeks that caused my life to dramatically change. The change in hierarchy in my CCA, the different feelings and moods that it stirred up within my friends and of course myself still finding a way back into how I felt during the last few months in the year 2008. I shouldn’t be talking much about that for I don’t want to get into any more trouble that some of my friends got. Anyways, as usual Friday was a day of mixed feelings and thoughts.
It was fun, very fun especially since it was with just that group of people. I don’t know but it felt rather relaxing and simple enjoyable with them. It was that carefree feelings that I always looked forward to after Friday activities. Playing soccer with the people whom I do not really know of, meeting up with friends from other CCAs and simple communicating and interacting with them. Although I was tired and was suffering from fatigue over the days, I felt energetic at that point of time. The atmosphere was filled with warmth comfort that simply drives all my tiredness away.
Went home with a friend, who made a mistake that cost him 3 years of hard work. I always told myself, whatever I do or say, I always had to be diplomatic, neutral in other words. There was no point going extreme positive nor negative for it brings no extra benefits but only more harm to oneself. Hey dude, if you’re reading this post, I feel for you man. But it is just too bad, and life’s always like that. You get condemned for a single mistake and you’re remembered for that in a lifetime. However when you’ve done something right, people praise you for it just at that moment and totally forgetting it the next day. That’s life.
I’m glad that you seem much more cheered up after talking about seriously retarded topics in the journey back home. Glad no train officers came up to us and bring us to some counselling home or something. Content of the talk? Nah, I rather not speak about it. You can however find out some of it somewhere. No point telling, it’ll only make me look much more stupid, like how someone calls my class “stupid retarded juveniles” in a joking manner.
I’m happy that the weekends are finally here and I can take some time to play rest. Still got loads of work to do but I’m sure I can try to find some time to finish them.
NPCC Mega Camp 2009
This would be the second year the Mega Camp is organised in my school. Mega camp was supposedly filled with only fun and exciting games and activities leaving drills and all the normal trainings aside. This year’s experience was supposed to be different from my previous year for I am a year 4 senior now, the ones behind the organisation of the camp. Yes we did organise (some of my other friends did), but all were rejected. Instead the proposal of another senior (our previous year 4s) was taken into consideration. This is kind of a foreshadowing of the experience we are about to face in the Mega Camp. Continue reading
The Story of The New Computer
If you’ve been following my twitter posts, or know my personally in life, you ought to realise how much I wanted a new computer (a desktop, not a laptop). I’ve longed for one since the day my laptop decided to tell me that “hey I’m old, so please stop trying to open more than 2 programmes at one shot!” (of course that is exaggerating). I’ve no earning power, therefore I’ve no spending power. The only money source that I had was my parents. Of course I tried my best bargaining so that it benefits both them and myself. I promised to try my best at my first term examinations and if I managed to do so, they would give me a budget of let say $2000 (A lot I know. My parents are that loving to their kids. Always feel guilty when I lose my cool and start shouting at them.) Continue reading
End of Term 1 Round Up 2009
School’s term has ended. This in other words mean that it is time to do some reflections and thinking on both my own personal endeavors and well as that of the site. This term has been hectic for me. As of all term 1’s, time was much of the essences. Poor time management would mean handing homework late, failing to have adequate gaming time as well as the lack of sleep and rest. My time management skills are terrible and I’m in no way proud of it. Still I managed to pull through the 3 months and survived with average results. Although CCA wise there was the cancellation of the founder’s day parade, it was still as tough as ever for now I’ve become a senior and the planning of trainings etc are all done by me and the rest of the leaders. In addition, project work is extremely taxing for I had to travel to some centre every Monday and Tuesday to carry out the project. Continue reading
IT Show 2009: Hyped Over Nothing
If you’ve been following my twitter, I did a countdown for IT Show 2009. Excitement, eagerness and anxiety filled me as the days got nearer. Today, I was filled with joy and my heart almost burst due to an overload of adrenaline from the anticipation. I still had school in the morning, so I had to contain all the exhilaration during the lessons. Finally it was time to set off with a couple of friends. Public transport was the only mean of travelling for none of us were eligible to drive (quite obvious). We had the choice of the MRT or bus, ended up taking bus all the way to Suntec City. We walked for a bit before reaching the exhibition halls, preparing ourselves with the amount of crowd already present outside. The top floors were first, went in and systematically browsed through the different stalls. Continue reading
High Rope Challenge @ Ubin
Earlier today, I went to Pulau Ubin for the High Rope Challenge, an activity that is organised by NPCC HQ. As the activity’s title suggests, the stuff we are about to face in Ubin would definitely prove a challenge. It is certainly more challenging for those who are afraid of heights. Unfortunately, I am grouped under that category. Almost every if not all of the different challenges were carry out high up in the air. I participated and completed 2 challenges before heading home.
