Last 2 celebrations

had 2 more celebrations for my 22nd birthday.

VM meeting had one, bought pizzas, but where got ppl buy "cake" for himself so ppl can sing him happy birthday one? (points to myself) so dumb right (of course it is). But had fun teasing the bike rally and xphysique ppl with our pizzas. woohoo! best welfare officer!

the last one with yuxin and belle at soup restaurant. (told you dun let ben order liao) they treated me to a meal. so nice of them. all know i love to eat.

Hall 2 Garang Guni

Exercise? dunno if i got much exercise or not... just walking and getting my knuckles bruised.

Earn money? I just hope they hit target lor... but hard to believe that they will... see how lor

Fun? Got 2 quotes of the day from today or 2 stories

Background info:
Simin is ben's block mate in hall 2. Shes a freshman and the business manager from hall 2 foc. Looks are so so... wah hui hui pageant still better. she calls herself short (which i dun disagree to) and fat (i'm still fatter as of now). But she managed to teh me teh me teh until i bo bian go for the garang guni

Story 1: How Simin became THE TEH girl

We all were going onto the lift. HDB lifts very small and can only hold a few ppl. So ben got in one of the earlier ones (thankfully) and once simin stepped in... the lift went teh teh teh... so after that, simin, who was naturally teh became branded by ben as THE TEH girl.

Story 2: How Simin showed her Aunty Powers

Ben was knocking on a door of a house which obviously had ppl inside. knock knock, wait, knock knock, wait, knock knock, wait, knock knock, wait... ben gave up. Ben calls Simin over, ask her use her aunty powers. She however denies it. But she still tries. Knock knock, shout out in an auntily manner "you ren zai mah?!" and knock knock knock, then the door opened, and not opened by just anyone, by an AUNTY! no one can deny the fact that simin is the aunty with the aunty power! (its a disease u can get even if you are just 20, like some cbe aunty BL we all know)

Back to the main storyline, so garang guni was a waste of time

Quote of the day 26/01/07

a bit late in posting but these kinda things must share one.

Ben: wah hui hui wah hui hui... wah hui hui wah wah
Adeline: Grrr....
Baoli: why you all always call adeline wah hui hui
Ben: Because that's her name
Baoli: why her name so WAH one?
Ben: LOL!

free free freedom!

hall cheerleading is finally over... can finally sit back relax and not go for the endless daily trainings...

seriously... the hall 2 cheerleading team should have some focus. no focus at all one... in the end everything din go up at all... that's exerggerating... most of the stunts went up but most didn't. i felt quite sad at the end of the performance knowing that there wasn't any hope of even getting into top 5.

well... i think i will miss it a bit but im glad i can get back to my books!

hall 2 cheer torture...

i'm just doing this for POS... not for hall 2... please let them get this stupid idea into their head. i'm not helping because i want to but i'm doing it because i wanna get something else out of it. telling them there's something wrong is not something that i wanna do but if we wanna progress any further, we need to spot each other's mistakes...

today's training was the top... one of the fliers gave me a piece of her mind telling me that i do not know how it felt up there... i know it's scary and all and it's not thing compared to being a base but still... it's not like it's the first time i'm doing it... telling me that... next time i will just shut up and not do anything. i know i'm a bit more on the sensitive side but hey... getting stepped on and not being able to sleep well at night because of the pain in my back and the bruises on my body and the aches in my arms isn't something to feel great about either. so fliers... if u do wanna complain, please see the blood that's on my fists now before you decide that it's scary being up there.

quote of the day 12/01/07

first quote of the day... tell u all the story first den the quote bah...

was at can A eating with the c26 ppl then suddenly saw this thing on the floor, it was a nokia n73. opened it up to see a girls photo on the front. checked the photo album and it was all of this girl anya or something... so we thought it was her phone. then we did more pryiong. found a hell lot of porn in the phone. damn excited lar all of us... i also dunno why. but we soon deduced it couldnt be a girls phone and then a guy called. we were like oh no.... i went to the table where the sports club ppl were at to hide hide so that he wun see me and told them what was inside and yafen nearly screamed.

anyway... the guy came to get the phone... he looked more like a lecturer more than anything else.. time to get an A+ for an elective hehehe

anyway... quote of the day:

ben: what to do with the phone ar?
zhhan: u call ureself first lar. then u can call the phone back so you can tell the owner if he asked why you never return the phone, "i called myself to get your no. and called you but you never pick up so i bo bian, take the phone lor"

isg horrors?

collect the isg medals 2 days ago.

shurui was super helpful by telling me that the total number of medals was less than the number i asked for. i told her 14 but now i found out that i only need to give out 13, so weixiang will have to suffer... i dun wan him to though because its not his fault that the sports sec wasn't there to let us know the rules. all she could say is sorry and do nothing about it. what a useless person

so what am i suppose to do about it? tell my players that they cant get the medal? i feel damn bad lar...

anyway... now she's asking me to e-mail her the list of players, i'm not her sub-comm nor am i captain of the team. i was the acting captain because there wasn't one there. i was just doing her a favor by giving out the medals for her. because when i called her to tell her about the medals, she say she will give it out herself, i asked her how, she said follow the list of ppl who signed up. but one thing that i had to let her know was that only 3 or 4 ppl from the ppl who signed up came. i asked her did she know who the captain was, she said she didn't know so i asked her how the hell was she going to give out the medals, she couldn't give me an ans... totally useless

not forgetting the days she decided she wasn't needed at the games, eg.:

1. the day she decided that she would keep all the shirts in her room when all the touch rubgy ppl, who came down form frisbee and volleyball, went down in the rain and had to wait in their cold wet shirts for the game to start. had to stand in the freezing cold to wait for her but she did not come. she came only after the floorball game started...

2. the day that she decided to tekan all of us by not protecting us for the floorball when we drew one game and won one game... the organizers asked us whether we could play another game and she just threw everything to us to settle ourselves. she should know that the other team has the floorball ivp captain, the floorball ivp keeper and a few more ivp players, how to win? it was a miracle as it is to force a draw. she should have defended us and said it is not the fault on our side and do somethign that could help us rather than say, "just play another game with mae lor" wth... useless

3. the day of the tennis finals... we had just finished our frisbee game... walking to bus stop and we saw ppl in our school's isg tee playing tennis, then we noticed that it was a game... then we found out that it was the finals... no supporters, no sport sec, no nothing... of course they lost... but well done for making it to the finals (the a. sports sec, weixiang, was at frisbee so it was not his fault)
3. the day when we won the frisbee and i was like jokingly say, "sure lose to nie, dun play them lar" and she was like "ok". this one not such a big deal... it was the next day...

4. the day of volleyball girls vs. nie. was suppose to be at softball training for hall but then it got delayed so i pulled numan down to the nie volleyball court to support the volleyball girls. 6 girls, one team, no subs. 3 who knew how to play, 1 was ok, 2 had no idea what was going on... they played their best but still lost. but that's not the point, liufang played until she hurt her hand in the 2nd match, she was gripping it tightly but she didn't fall out, she just tried her best and blocked the ball the best she could. grace, who also did not know how to play well tried her best to block her ball with the body when the nie girls spiked it into her, she did not dodge but tried her best... it was a really painful match, even for the only 2 supporters who came... after that i went to the src or training, and there she was, my school's sport sec shurui, sitting there watching the isg touch rubgy (our school had already been kicked out the day before). i went up to her to ask what she was doing... till now i still can remember her ans... "oh... nothing to do come down and see"... there and then... i just wanted to kill her... on the spot!

but weixiang was doing a good job... no matter how crappy shurui was...

quitting gambling

went for geneca's birthday on monday (new year's day) to like sit sit talk cock... actually wanted to just stay home and slack and play ps2 but guess geneca is still geneca, cannot pon her birthday

so went there, sat a while, saw a few temasek sec ppl like shiyun and a few more familiar faces, saw a few hall 10 ppl and of course the c26 ppl were there. not really eventful or anything but after the cake cutting and photo-taking, they decided to play blackjack. initially james was the banker, losing streak first but when he started to win back, he stopped and he arrowed me to be banker next.

i started off quite ok, standard, 16 17 and 18s. won a bit here and there. Then started to get really damn lucky. open 12 get 9, open 13 get 8, open 17 get 4, open ace and 5, draw 4, wanted to play big, draw another ace, bo bian, draw another one, get another ace, confirm 5 card. a lot of double pictures.

i should have stopped but then my luck went down hill, james and zhihan started to up their bets, james got a few ban lucks with $2 and $3 bets, zhihan got ban lucks and ban ban with $2 bets, i exploded many many times...

was ok with losing money one, den i said last game cause it was getting late and i had lost more than 10 bucks liao... pass out the cards... i showed everyone my first card, got an ace.... passed out everyone elses cards... den threw open my next card... another ace... stunned...

well thats the end, ended up from losing $10+ to winning $40+

i quit gambling this year... too much luck wasted that day
