Thai Experience Part I

//Thai Experience Part I//

The plane did not crash...it would be all over the news if a SIA plane crashed....

So this means I am back in one piece, alive and kicking!

Well...actually I don't even know how to start this entry...there are so many things that I want to say...I can give a day by day account..which would bore most of you to death...but nevermind...I will just type whatever that comes to my mind...

The trip is amazing...not because of the place, but because of the people. Bangkok may seem very exotic to the students from USA, UK, etc...but it felt a awful lot like Malaysia to me...and as many of you know...I'm half Malaysian so to speak since the majority of my relatives from my mother side are still in Malaysia, and I visit Malaysia every other holiday....

So the country isn't the reason why I find the trip amazing....but I still love Thailand...love the food, etc...just that everything seems a little too familiar...the feeling is similar to the feeling which I got from visiting Kunming in June...nothing exciting...everything feels very familiar...Shangri La however is great...but that's beside the point...

So food...I mentioned food just now...all meals there (except welcome dinner and farewell dinner) are taken care of at their school canteen (the school is "Mwit" by the way...which is the short form..)...the food in their school canteen...I can say is definitely better than those in my school...not that there's much competition...and what makes is so great is the Thai style chili sauce!!

I LOVE the chili...i will add the thai style chili sauce to almost everything I eat...the food provided during the welcome dinner and farewell dinner are amazing too...all the little snacks...

So speaking of the welcome dinner...it was really fun...in the sense that the atmosphere was really good...it's Pasar Malam/carnival style..a lot of different kind of food (which made me very excited of course..)...

Farewell dinner is kind of the similar...except that there will be cultural performances from each country....so other countries did performance like their national dance...sung some folk song....etc...and we showed a powerpoint presentation about singapore. -_-" And the whole presenation felt that a powerpoint made by the Singapore Tourism Board.

But it's ok...other than that...the JC guys (from VJ i think) did a skit! About singlish...they act a segment which they talked in english...followed by the very same segment...but in Singlish...though I find it a bit embarassing...but I must say this is truly "singapore cultural performance"....and we end off with the song "SINGAPORE TOWN"!!!!

You could take a little trip around Singapore town...
In a Singapore city bus...

Yep, this is the one...as quoted from a guy from one the JCs that went "It's the best of the worst"...Other choices of course include "Stand Up For Singapore" or "Count on Me Singapore"....

Mrs Ng was great..she allowed us to play cards...she didn't care about my hair colour..etc...the only one bad thing she did was to force us to sing Singapore Town I guess....she did not want "We Will Get There" or "Home" or anything...she say "Singapore Town" is a better song to represent who we are...

But other than this...she's great...she finally realised that I dyed my hair at the airport....and I told her I brought temp black hair dye...but she said it's ok since it's the school holidays....so I thought all is fine...but guess what...the HCJC teacher that went is the discipline mistress...haha...but I think she was joking...she seriously does not look like a discipline mistress...I mean she was going crazy together with her students when they realised they are on the same bus as some Jap guys....

Ok..I've diverted too much...let's come back...the farewell dinner...so other than the cultural performance which the welcome dinner don't have....the farewell dinner also has a band playing at the end...for us to dance...can you imagine Kai Herng dancing....haha...well we all did...I won't say dance...but we jumped around like maniacs....for pretty long...I think it lasted at least 1 hour or even more...














































So I've covered the food...and the welcome and farewell dinner...I shall leave the rest for next time....brain's not functioning real well now...

Lost? hope not

//Lost? hope not//

No, this is not a post on the TV show "Lost"...maybe it will mention a little...but it's not about the show...

Ever since I started watching "Lost"...I wonder each time...as I go overseas...as the air plane is flying...

Will it crash?

Will I land up on some weird island with a crazy monster?

Will there be a hatch on the island with people living in it, pressing a button every 108 minutes?"

Will we get any transmission by a french woman, who's been trapped on the island for 16 years?

Let's hope none of these happen when SQ0996 takes off tonight at 8.30 pm....wish me luck!

I certainly don't wanna end up on some weird island....

Hopefully in 6 days time, I will be safely back home posting a new blog post...if you don't see a new post after 6 days...you will know what happen to me....maybe I can blog in the hostel that I'm staying in in Thailand...it's a school afterall...there should be internet access...I hope...

If not, then see ya guys in 6 days...

Life Of A Teacher

//Life Of A Teacher//

Hmm...so I heard that some of my classmates have found themselves jobs for the holiday...I'm not so hardworking...I want to enjoy this 2 months of the holiday...which I am for once totally free....

Not exactly totally...in fact yesterday and the day before (Mon & Tue)...I was at ACS (Junior)...experiencing the "life of a teacher"...

My chinese drama teacher (I was in chinese drama in pri sch...), whom I still keep in contact with, teaches at ACS too, and every holiday, she would organise such chinese drama camp (day camp)...

So in the June hols, she called me to go down to help out....I went...and it was a horrible experience...maybe I am too used to uniform group style of training...talking to the kids asking to settle down or to keep quiet became MISSION IMPOSSIBLE...they really don't listen to instructions at all...can you imagine taking care of 15-18 hyperactive kids...

The outrageous things that they do ranges from showing me the "Loser" sign (which I don't care) to pouring their drinks into each other's plate during lunch...fortunately I only helped out for 1 day out of the 2 in June...

So Nov holidays...she needs help again...so I agreed to help again...this time round, maybe I'm more prepared or something...but it was a MUCH better experience...maybe this group that I took care of this time is better behaved or something....in fact my HP is now filled with their photos...haha...but some of them look really adorable...

So what do I do there? Basically, there are 6 groups, and I took care of 1 group named "芒果园" (all groups are named after fruits)...it may seem surprising, but most of them can't even converse using chinese properly, I mean half my group don't know what is "芒果"....(maybe that's why their parents sent them for this camp)...

So "taking care" of the group basically includes coming up of a cheer for them...I mean you don't expect a 9 year old to come up with cheers themselves etc right? So I came up with a "brilliant" cheer for my group...

芒果好,芒果妙
芒果芒果呱呱叫!!!

This may sound a little simple...but seriously, primary school kids are pretty simple minded (at least all those I saw in ACS)...If you give them slightly more complicated cheer with more words..no way will they be able to do the cheer together as a group....

But never underestimate them too...cause they don't like this cheer...and made some amendments to the cheer....to this:

芒果好,芒果妙
芒果被我们吃掉!!!
Mmm....好吃!!!!!!!

Haha...pretty lame huh? But they loved it...

Other than all these..most of the other activities are taken by us, the group leaders...but the kids call us 老师 though....so basically some activities includes putting up a short performance of 后羿射日...making books....making masks...making toys...etc...

But seriously...they can't do any of the above by themselves....so we have to do all the job for them...for eg...during the mask making..this is what happen...

We will teach them to draw 2 eyes and cut out the eyes....

Then most will rip their paper bags apart and we will end up cutting their "eyes" for them...

Then I will be sitting there will all the coloured paper...and a pair of scissors...and they will come running to me saying...

"老师老师,我要红色的头发!"
"老师老师,我要帽子!"
"老师老师,我要鼻子!"
"老师老师,我要嘴巴!"

Then I will sit there cutting out all these using the coloured paper for them....When time's up....I will try to line them up in 2s....with much difficulty like usual....then I will proceed to sweep the floor which is full of rubbish from the activity just now....

And actually I find it quite enjoyable...not the cleaning up of course...but the fact that they will come runnig to me shouting "老师老师,我要XYZ" makes me feel good...cause other than these times...the other times I will be shouting my lungs out to get them to sit down....get them to line up in 2s...and of course all these shouting won't be heard by any of them...they have selective hearing....

It's only during these activities, like mask making...book making...toy making etc...that they actually do sit down and listen...and other than giving me their attention....they actually fight for my attention...haha...pretty ego boosting...

One of my friend once told me I should be a teacher...maybe I will go be a primary school teacher some day...

Bus

//Bus//

Time: 9.30pm at Bugis Junction bus stop

Woman: Excuse me are you from here? Resident of Singapore?
Me: Yea?
Woman: Do you know of a pub? Where there's music? And we (she and her friends) can dance?
Me: Erm...sorry I'm not sure, I don't go pubs...

Weird woman...I mean if she want to know where can she go clubbing etc...won't she at least find someone who look like they are of legal age?

Oh yea...I was with my brother at that time...we had a choice of bus or train..so I told him "If the bus is too crowded, then let's take train..."

So the bus came....I said "Looks quite crowded, let's go" and I tapped his shoulders and walked towards the bus...I boarded the bus, found a seat and the bus drove off...then my phone rang "Where are you?"

Great, he is still at the bus stop...I mean seriously...can't he see that I'm going towards the direction of the bus...and follow? He is sec 1, not 1 year old...so in the end, he ended up taking train home while I took bus...

Time: 9.40pm on the bus

So long story cut short, I was on the bus, chinese guy sitting next to me with his friend, chinese guy saw another malay guy, who WAS his friend, but they never contact each other for a long time...so they started to chat...

Chinese: You no good larz...never call me...
Malay: I lost your number sia...
Chinese: You no good larz...lost my number....
Malay: Hey buddy, what's your number sia....

And yea...those first 4 lines...lasted for about at least 5 minutes...they just keep repeating and repeating...and repeating...for some unknown reason...I swear I heard the chinese guy saying "you no good larz" at least 10 times...

And also, the malay guy would end off all his sentence with "sia"....and the chinese guy will add a "lar" into all his sentence....

So they talked about their jobs....the malay guy is working for cisco now...the chinese guy is jobless...the malay guy try to recommend some jobs for him...and in turn...he want the chinese guy to find him a chinese girlfriend....

Oooh..and this launch them into their second part of the convo...

Malay: So you still with your girlfriend sia?
Chinese: Dawn huh? No larz...she...she...(he paused for a while)...she no good larz....now I married liaoz....got 2 kids...
Malay: You serious siaz?!!?!?
Chinese: Yar lar....

Then the Malay guy starts talking about his own love life....he mentioned a 28 year old Japanese Sugar Mummy...a 35 year old sugar mummy (both of the guys are 20 by the way)....a girlfriend who used to work in a sex shop (which the chinese guy don't understand)...and they started talking about the "sex-shop" girlfriend in greater detail....which caused like the people around the area where I was sitted to keep staring his direction....

I was never more anxious to get off that seat...normally I would press the bell and wait for the bus to stop then start walking to the exit door...that night...I just rushed off the seat the moment I pressed the bell....

And it amazes me that they wanted to continue their conversation and was looking for a place to sit down and talk...

Let's rewind...if it's me running into an old friend whom I don't keep in contact anymore...

Me: Oh hi...how are you now?
Friend: I'm fine...what about you?
Me: Life's not too bad...
Friend: So where you studying now?
Me: Oh...in *whatever* school...you?
Friend: In *whatever* school....
Me: Oh...I see...

* Stone moment for about 5 minutes...while I desperately tries to think of some relevant questions to ask....

Me: So do you still keep in contact with XYZ, ABC they all?
Friend: Oh yea...*blah blah blah blah blah...
Me: Oh....*awkward silence...
Friend: Why don't you give me your number?
Me: Sure *give number...yours?
Friend: *give number...
*Awkward silence throughout the ride...

Nearing my bus stop...
Me: I gotta go...see ya...keep in contact...
Friend: Sure...see ya..take care..

*Me alighting...thankful that the bus ride is finally over....

Movies

//Movies//

I love to watch movies, but for one reason or another, I have not watched that many movies for the past 3 years...

I don't think I watched more than 10 movies a year for the past 3 years....so to make up for that...I'm gonna lots and lots of movies this holidays...

Some of the movies just don't interest me...like Zorro, Sky High...and horror movies are out, it's stupid for me to spend money to watch them since I would be watching the Popcorn box most of the time rather than the movie itself...

So after looking through all the different websites (Shaw, Cathay, Eng Wah, Golden Village), and watching the trailers of all the movies...I listed down all the movies I would like to watch this hols...

Watched
Flight Plan
Just Like Heaven
Harry Potter: The Goblet Of Fire

Gonna Watched: (according to date of release)
1. Prime (24th Nov): Romantic comedy...I love this kind of movies...so I guess I will like this..
2. Zathura (24th Nov): I love Jumanji, so I guess I will love this...
3. Noel (24th Nov): See "Prime"
4. Aeon Flux (1st Dec): It gives me a "The Island" feel (before they found out that they were clones), so I think I will enjoy this...
5. Chicken Little (1st Dec): Looking forward to this...the last time I watched a animated film was "Chicken Run" (haha..Chicken again)...I did not watch Nemo, Madagascar in the cinemas...so looking forward to this...
6. King Kong (14th Dec): Hmm...seems pretty stupid in the preview...T-rex meets king kong? But even if the story sucks, I think the visuals should be able to make up for it...
7. Chronicles of Narnia (22nd Dec): Have not read the book before, but seems interesting, not too heavy (like LOTR, which I did not enjoy)....

Leave

//Leave//

Yea, another short title...

你没对我说再见
所以我没有走远
等待你等得忘了时间
快乐却早已跟随着你
Leave Leave Leave....
-孙燕姿

No, I'm not dating...I typed the whole chorus just for the last line.."leave...leave...leave..."

Recently, a lot of people has left/is going to leave....2 teachers are going to UK to study...1 teacher is going back to Malaysia...1 friend has migrated to Australia...

I feel like leaving too...

I never had the urge to go overseas to study or work abroad whatsoever. I am contented with what I have here (yea..strange huh..), but I think it is just the part of me that hate changes that is prevented me from having those thoughts...

I mean for a guy who hates moving on from primary school to secondary school...or from secondary 2 to 3 cause of the change of class....or from secondary school to junior college...I don't think the possibility of me wanting go overseas to study is big....

But out of a sudden...I have a urge to leave this country, maybe in the future for some time....

Maybe it is the fact that people around are leaving that inspired me to think this way...

Maybe it is reading cw's blog...seeing how he is so determined to come here to study...made me feel that I should crawl out of the little hole that I lived in....

Maybe it is reading someone else's blog, seeing the photos of the so many places he has been to...make me feel "i wanna go there too..."

Or maybe I've been simply watching way too much Amazing race...

I don't know why...but this few days...i've been thinking about it....

I was talking to my sis just now...sometimes I envy her...she just seems so sure of what she wants to do....in the future that is...she just completed her A'Level today and tomorrow she's gonna work already (for 9 days as promoter at dunno where)....she has worked as a tutor (earning 240 bucks a month regularly tutoring 2 kids) when she was in J1...she has worked in a restaurant...she has worked a newspaper promoter (don't ask me what is it...I also not sure)....and after the dec hols, she's gonna try to apply to be relief teacher at some disabled school before she gets her results.. (though I don't think it is quite possible...)

But the fact is she know what she wants...and she goes for it...instead of wasting time talking about it and not doing anything...like what I usually do....

But still it is better to think, talk about it then not do anything, then not thinking at all right?

Here are some possibilities of what I will do...

1) Go overseas to study: this is a possibility...though I am still not that keen on this idea...but by doing this...I can actually go abroad and live at somewhere else for a longer period of time...experiencing the culture there....

2) Backpacking: I will either save enough money...or go to work after I graduate...and work till I get enough money, then I hope I get fired/retrenched...or worst come to worst..I quit (I would rather get fired...cause it would be such a waste to quit..)...then I will go away for some time...like 1 month? 3 months? 6 months? (I wonder how much that would need though..) I would love to go backpacking in Europe...and maybe Africa...actually anywhere would do...as long as I'm out of here...

3) Find a job at a international company...and hope I get posted to work somewhere else...haha...not likely to happen but I can dream right?

Seriously...chances of any of these happening is as slim as my tummy (which is getting bigger each day...which means all these probably will never happen..)...but it's fun to dream about this kind of things....imagining yourself somewhere in Europe...with a friend...backpacking...that would be fun....

But who knows...it may happen one day....I mean I certainly did not really think that I would really go and dye my hair when I told ming wei (or kai herng i can't remember) I'm going to...but in the end I did...I was in Watson (or Gurdian)...then I saw those DIY hair dye...then I started to ask around...etc..and poof it happened!

So now...I hope the same will happen...was looking through some websites....maybe one day one of the possibilities will come true too...

http://www.backpackinglife.com/index.html
http://www.backpackeurope.com/ (very useful)
and so on...just yahoo or google it and lots of results will come up...

But for now...back to reality...Harry Potter's tomorrow! Probably going for training on Fri...maybe going to support terence for his audition on Sat...setting the maths paper for my bro which is long overdue on Sun...helping out at some Chinese Drama camp at ACS (Barker Road) on Mon and Tue...and off to Thailand on Wed!

Title

//Title//

During an MRP workshop, Mr Yap once said that "title" is just like a woman's skirt, it must be short enough to be interesting, and long enough to cover the important parts.

The more important point to me is that it must be reflective of the content of whatever you are writing.

Clearly, I have been rather lazy with regards to this...most of my blog entry titles do not really reflect what the entry is about. Like the entry "Colours" and "Special Ones"...I simply named them after song titles cause I was too lazy to think...

In fact, I named this blog "are-you-lost" at that time, cause I am a big "Lost" fan, and I still remembered I was at NYGH for a science conference, it was the tea break, I was eating something and talking to kai herng, then I told him, I'm gonna start a blog to post reviews about "Lost" episodes (which is ongoing now)....

I told him I will name the blog "lost-reality" cause I would also like to post reviews on several reality show that I am currently watching...sadly...that name was taken....actually I was crapping when I told him that....

I never wanted to start a blog in the first place cause I felt that there is nothing interesting about me to post....but after crapping around with him...I thought it might actually work...since I am watching like so many shows right now...and if I do post a review after each show...the blog will be updated pretty regularly...plus I hardly have anyone to discuss these shows with...

but now looking at all the entries thus far...there is...hmm...let me see....1 entry on Survivor....2 entries on Amazing Race....and that's it! No Lost...No Desperate Housewives...nothing...

So finally, I decided to post something on LOST!!!

Ok, if you do watch Lost too, then here is a warning...whatever that is going to posted beyond this point will contain some spoilers if you have not watch season 2....

So Shannon's dead...finally...

Not that I wished her to be dead or what...but it's just the hype has been going on for so long that it's getting rather old...all the hype about "someone's gonna die" which has been going on since like May...so I'm glad she is finally moving on...

Actually I kind of pitied Maggie Grace, she declined the role on X-Men III cause the filming schedule of these 2 show conflicted, and just after that, she's dead on Lost.

So let's move on...so it seems like Ana Lucia killed her...makes sense since she's holding a gun...looking shocked as Shannon fell...but things isn't always what it seems on Lost...some crazy fella at Sucks forum posted a screencap....Shannon doesn't have a gunshot wound! *gasp The wound looke more like a incised wound or something like that...so if Ana did end up to be the killer, then I would suggest J.J Abrams fired the CS Make up artist for doing such a lousy gunshot wound that look like a incised wound...

Now I am starting to lose interest in most of the original cast...their flashbacks doesn't seem as interesting anymore...other than Sun/Jin, Hurley & Claire...I don't really have much interest about the other characters....not even what Kate did or how Locke got onto the wheel chair...

The tallies on the other hand seems more intriguing and interesting at this point...Libby..Bernald...Eko...all seemed to have great potential as characters with a complicated background that will ignite interests in the viewers....

3 more days to a new episode...I can't wait...

*Once again, the later part of this post has nothing much to do with the "title" too...

Dear Terence...

//Dear Terence...//

This post is written by Gan Ying Cheng, a dear friend of Terence Heng...

To have to use Kay Siong’s blog to say what I have to say to Terence, a close friend I have had for 4 years, I have to say I am deeply ashamed. Regarding this incident, I am utterly disappointed, hurt and disgusted. As part of this ‘close’ group of four, some stuff 我实在不吐不快。

I just want to mention to Terence that since Sheng Jia could not make it to the outing, the farewell party must automatically be cancelled. No one is expecting you to assume. You were in the conversation when Meng told everyone Sheng Jia could not make it. Kay Siong and I made sure we told you we were not going as we treated you as a good friend. I appreciate it that the following morning you called to ask me to go and not be 扫兴, but I DO NOT appreciate it that you hang up on me just because I mentioned that the farewell outing for Sheng Jia is cancelled. Was it our fault that Sheng Jia on the last minute could not make it? Was it our fault that you missed out the fact that Sheng Jia could not make it from the conversation? I was also not informed about Sheng Jia not being able to make it. It just so happened that I came online and coincidentally Kay Siong was online and asked if I was still going. At that point, I was confused and finally I realized Sheng Jia was unable to make it. How were we to know that you missed out that part in that conversation? Like you said, we DO NOT have telepathy.

So I was pissed with you for hanging up on me, sending me an sms with capped letters, as if I just burned your house or something. But I told myself and also Kay Siong that if I asked whether you were still angry the next time I see you on msn and you replied ‘No’, everything would be back to normal. If you replied ‘Yes’, I would let you have some time to settle and hopefully not be angry after a few days, like how we always solve our arguments. But voila you chose not to reply, a.k.a. to DAO.

But you love to bitch, I know that and you know that. What I cannot understand is why must accuse Kay Siong that he is using his authority as ‘CSM’ or ‘Chairman’ to order people around. Why does it seem like you are the only one in this entire world to think so. And it could have been anyone unfamiliar with us but no it has to be YOU. It has to be YOU who is refusing to speak to us 3 over not being informed that Sheng Jia could not make it? Is that how strong or should I say how WEAK our 4 years of friendship is?

家丑不可外扬。(Yes I do treat you, Kay Siong and Meng as close as a family) I absolutely HATE having to show the entire world about what is happening right now. Why must this fucking thing happen after 4 fun filled years? You chose to forgive but not to forget. But this problem would never be solved if you THINK there is something for you to forgive! If you want to remember this ugly incident, fine with me. If you want to try all means and ways to make us feel miserable, go ahead. But the only thing I hope is, why must this person be YOU.

Special Ones

//Special Ones//

A note for random readers: This isn't exactly a very short or interesting post, don't read it unless you have a lot of patience...or unless your name is Terence Heng Joo Kuang.

I have to say I might not have made it out of the 4 years secondary school without this song. Ok, I am exaggerating, but this song really help me through some of the more difficult days in secondary school...

I can handle the school work pretty ok, I whinned a lot though, but at the end of the day, the school tests, the ace, and so on, these school work don't get to me emotionally very much.

What really sets me in a real bad mood is when a friend accuses me of something which I did not do...

Jeremy used to accuses me of backstabbing him once...which at that time, I felt that what I did wasn't a big deal...but since he felt it was...then so be it...I will do not it again...but I must say at the moment...I felt really mad and angry....so I listened to this song...

I was ashamed of my innocence
but now with clarity
I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me
- George

Well, I am not exactly innocent...no one is...but the fav part of the song are those 2 lines..."now with clarity, I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me"...

I always tell myself that I shouldn't let others' words or comments get to me so easily, if not I would be pissed like 365 days of the year...but it's always easier said and done...

I don't want to be angry....
I don't want to waste my time getting angry...
I don't want to be angry....
I don't want to be angry.... angry...angry....
This is not worthy of me
and now with clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away
- George

Listening to this part again and again make me less angry...cause seriously it is not worth it getting angry and ruining my day just cause of someone's comments..

And so...I thought after I passed out from St John, that I won't have to listen to this song anymore...cause I am pretty much non-existant in class...no chance for any conflict whatsoever...

But I was wrong...

So recently something happened...and for the 3rd time this week...I was listening to this song...

First time being the day which the squad outing was supposed to take place...got this msg from soon swee "i am pissed...job is pissed...rui yang is pissed...ming hao is pissed...kenneth is pissed...and terence is darn pissed...better don't talk to him...ming wei is gonna get it"

I wasn't mad or pissed that day, it was more like confusion? and yea...confusion...cause I was told by Ming Wei that the outing is still on, those online in that convo decided to keep it going, but I felt pretty sianz that shengjia is not coming, so I decided not to come...so I don't know why they are pissed or what exactly happened? Did they meet at the wrong place? or what?

Later that night, I talked to Mun Yung...he told me they were just foooling around when they sent that sms...felt better, at least they are not pisseed....but he told me terence was really pissed...which sends me into another confusion? What is he pissed at? Who is he pissed at?

After talking to Ying Cheng, realised he wasn't informed that Shengjia isn't coming, and Ming Hao and Zhenyu wasn't informed too. So I more or less understand why...he is pissed that no one told him that Sheng Jia is not coming...

So I tried to talk to him online that day to find out exactly what happened...and explain things (if it wasn't clear enough already), but he did not reply...so fair enough...I thought neeeded some time...

But during the class dinner, he made comments which pissed me off to no ends...comments like "Ming Hao昨天这么有心去了,结果生病今天不可以来.." (something to that extent)...I mean seriously, if you don't want to talk to me about what happened or tell what you feel, then stop being so bitchy. But if he choses to, then I have the right to be bitchy too..."如果你这么有心,你自己organise lor".

He wants to be mad that people never informed him, then why don't he organise it himself? Then he will be the one informing people. I say this cause from what I know from Ming Wei, all those online that night WAS informed that Sheng Jia wasn't coming, and they DID decide to carry on with the outing...but after knowing that Sheng Jia is not coming, quite a few of us backed out...and after Ying Cheng and I after decided not to come informed him too...so seriously I am still puzzled why he is pissed at that point...

That night, I had a talk with Ming Hao, realised what happened...and guess what I found out, Ming Hao knew that Shengjia is not coming! (so I guess that made Terence a liar?) And Ming Hao's theory as to why Terence is pissed is "he is excited about the outing, was the first person there, but went and saw so little people, thus he was pissed" Ming Hao was also not very happy because he wasn't informed that so few people coming...and he said he is mainly mad at Ming Wei. But I was thinking....those people online decided to CARRY ON with the outing...people decided to back out? So ming wei is at fault? Weird logic huh?

And I told Ming Hao that I did not inform him cause it would be ridiculous to inform everyone, so I just informed Mun Yung, who was going that day. and He agreed too..I mean you are going out with 10 people, you decided you don't want to go, so now you have to informed all 9 of the rest? Wouldn't it make more sense to inform one of them who was going to inform the rest? Furthermore, I informed terence personally, cause he might not want to go if he know that mingwei, me and ying cheng were all not going....so I still don't get why he is mad...

The second time this week I have to listen to this song was after reading Terence's blog entry...

He did not name names...but we all know who he is refering to....and just like before...I am still puzzled at why he is angry? So he is mad cause people decided not to go at the last minute? So he is mad at the people for not telling him they are not going? God knows...

The third time..which I have to listen to this song is now...Kai Herng just showed me a convo between Terence and him...and this really got me mad, pissed, disguested, hurt, sad, and the list goes on....for the matter of fact, I have been listening to this same song for the past 1 hour...

Terence says:
what convo?

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
the convo to discuss plans for wednesday .. sjab

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
with ppl like job inside, if i remember correctly

Terence says:
how come i wasnt invovled?

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
u were inside

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
i rmb u keep saying go changi airport...

Terence says:
oh that

Terence says:
okay

Terence says:
i remembered

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
yah, so the others didnt seem interested in anything at all

Terence says:
but i also remembered at that time i didnt know that sheng jia wasnt coming

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
or they didnt bother to respond

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
i rmb mw announced it early in the convo

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
he said smthing like "sj not coming leh.. so how?"

Terence says:
i only know it quite late

oooh...so Terence WAS IN THAT convo...so now I am wondering...whose fault is it that he didn't know that Sheng Jia is coming...so effectively the only person that has the right to be mad is Zhenyu then...

Terence says:
so no one bothered to tell me that the thing was canceleld

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
seriously, i dont like this kind of "discrimination", against anyone

Terence says:
they expect me to assume

Terence says:
wow

Terence says:
i didnt know man has evovled to such a stage whereby we can communicate by telepathy

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
i get your point now... so u are mad at no one not telling u that it was cancelled

Terence says:
the discirmination i can let it go

Terence says:
yes

Terence says:
i felt like a fool

so now that he knew he was informed that Sheng Jia is not coming...that it is his own fault that he don't know that Sheng Jia is not coming...he found another reason to be angry....he is angry that "no one told him that it is cancelled"...

So I guess Soon swee and co don't know it is cancelled? They don't...cause it is NOT cancelled! Yes, farewell for shengjia is cancelled..but the outing is not!!! Why else would they be all present? The only thing that happened is people decided not to come after Sheng Jia declared that he is not coming...

To terence: If you have trouble understanding what I typed above, let me repeat:
Farewell for Shengjia is cancelled!
Outing as a squad is NOT cancelled! (thus Soon Swee they all are present)
People decided not to come cause Shengjia not coming.
End of story.

Terence...you don't need to feel like a fool...you are already talking like one...

Terence says:
and do u know why minghao didnt attend the dinner

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
oh... im really sorry bec if i knew that u didnt know, i would have told u...

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
yes and mw should have told u if he knew u didnt know too

Terence says:
he's illness deterorated because he make a point to attend the outing

Terence says:
so everyone just assumed that we all knew

Terence says:
i would take that as insincerity, laziness and inconsiderate

Terence says:
i am d i s a p p o i n t e d

Yes, Terence, you need not be the spokesperson of Ming Hao...we all know...you may find it shocking but ming hao actually talks to me after the event...and helped me understand his POV...

and once again...this is a squad outing...let's say wenxuan decided not to come for the squad outing...he smsed Ming wei...and it became Ming Wei's responsibility to sms the whole world to announce that Wen Xuan decided not to come..

to terence: don't call people lazy or insincere if you won't do the same if you are put in that situation...I mean did you tell everyone that Ying Cheng and I are not going since we told him?

You are d i s a p p o i n t e d?
I am D I G U S T ED!

Terence says:
and kay siong rebutted to me that if you think everything is so easy, organise yourself

Terence says:
thats so irresponsible

Terence says:
i dont wish to talk to anyone of them for the time being

Terence says:
if u want, you can pass this convo ard

Terence says:
i am not angry at them

Terence says:
i had forgiven them

Terence says:
but i wont forget

To terence: I was being irresponsible at that moment when I said that, cause I said it at that moment of anger...but not now...since it was never my fault and totally YOUR FAULT that you did not see the msg in the convo...and the fact that the outing was never canaclled...just that people backed out....

and if you don't like what I said and find it irresponsible, then let me tell ya, that's pretty much how baseless and stupid and irresponsible most of your comments during that dinner are (since you refused to listen to us b4 making those comments)...from the duno wad "so 4A haf class spirit sjab dun haf" to the minghao comment...to even your comments on KH blog...

so to terence, you have forgiven but you won't fotget....then let me tell you I have not forgiven you for ruining 3 of my days and making all these accusations...and I certainly will not forget too..

Terence says:
i dont blame any particular person

Terence says:
i blame whoever is in charge

Terence says:
and i say that because i dont even know who's in charge

Terence says:
because that person dont even make it a point to let me know that he's in charge

Erm...has it ever occured to that tiny brain of yours that no one is actually in charge?

To terence: Sheng Jia is going away....I (not in the position of of CSM)...thought that as a squad we should have some sort of farewell for him..which I am sure being the selfish person that you are never thought about it....so I called for everyone to meet to discuss...and we did reach the decision as a squad...

after that...Sheng jia can't come...ming wei tried to inform everyone since shengjia only told him...people online decided as a squad again to continue with the outing...people backed out as individuals.....etc...there never was a person in charge to start with...I inititated the meeting to discuss cause I care...so now that makes me responsible for every single shit that goes on? Including informing everyone before hand who is coming who is not?

Bullshit.

Terence says:
i am not the only one who is mad abt this

Terence says:
minghao is as well

Stop talking on the behalf of ming hao, you are not his spokesperson...I have talked to him...he is not that mad...

Terence says:
and i dont like kay siong's attitude

Terence says:
he still thinks that he is above every one of us just ebcause he was our chairman and CSM?

Terence says:
i aint sure abt the reason

Terence says:
but i dont see why he thinks he can order ppl ard

Terence says:
i dont like that

[ SuPeRsIzEfRiEs ] //:- Iowa, USA: Woman finds dead baby turtle in package of freeze-dried coffee > says:
i dont think he thinks that he is high up bec of CSM/chairman or anything, maybe just bec he's really frustrated at organising the class events + maybe u blaming him...im not saying u dont have a case to blame him, but im just saying lets stop this whole thing...

This part is what pissed me off the most...he ain't sure why I think I am above everyone...you wanna noe why? Cause I am not thinking that way...which is probably why you can't find a reason...

I order people around? Huh? Raise your hands those that I ordered around?

Wow...just now he talked about people assuming that he knew...now he is assuming...what a hypocrite....oh...and all the talk about marks not important at all....figures are not important....and viola! a post about getting 1.00...such a hypocrite...greatest irony of the day! A hypocrite accusing others of being hypocrite!

and thanks kai herng, for knowing me well enough or at least bothering to get to know me...

To terence: I was frustrated at ming wei for not helping that day...frustrated at terence for not helping (I mean for god sakes...what has you done as a monitor other than switching off the lights?) And I'm sure he would say "Well..you didn't ask me to help..." but if I do asked...I'm sure you would complain that "I don't understand why Kay Siong think he can boss me around just cause he is the chairman..." Well...of course as a part of the CMC...and being the monitor exempt you from all other jobs other than switching off the lights and shouting "class stand and class bow"

But I mean Jiexun helped with the class t shirt design...Ming Wei helped with caling the class to find out when they are free....Kai herng helped with the collection of money....I helped to call and invite the teachers (which was frustrating when no one wants to answer the damn phone) and book the place, or for the matter of fact tried to find a chalet though it didn't amount to anything and so on...what have you done?

Before you accused anyone of being lazy...look in the mirror....

Seriously after reading his blog entry, and that conversation, I am seriously wondering who is acting high and mighty....

But look on the bright side...Terence has been acting this way since I knew him in secondary 1, at least he is staying true to himself in this sense....

To the readers: If you bother to finish reading the whole thing, you sure have a lot of patience...let's hope this is the first and last post...which is all about me ranting at someone...

And one last note to terence (since you don't feel like talking): I do treasure the friendship between you, me, ying cheng and ming wei, and if you have no intentions of patching up or talking things through other than through tag boards or blogs, do let me me know one way or another, so that we (me yc n mw) can stop waiting...

I mean I am mad that you are making all these baseless accusations and comments why? Cause you refuse to talk. So you have not intentions to talk at all...do let us know :)

To end off:
So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my basses first
So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key
So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me...

Colours

//Colours//

When you're gone
All the colours fade
When you're gone
No New Year's Day parade
When you're gone
Colours seem to fade
-Amos Lee

A really nice song...Colours...

It was a nice dinner yesterday night (or rather 2 days ago since it's after 12), sort of the last time our whole class will be getting together (apart from the "gathering" 3 months later).

But所谓“天下无不散之筵席" the dinner has to end...and so it ended...I guess this make up for the weird last day of school moment, when everyone just left as if it is a normal day in school...

But seriously..."when you're gone, colours seem to fade"...this is so true...I wonder when will the day when I can't even visualise the face of my classmates come. I mean seriously, if you ask me about my primary school classmates, there will be one or two which I can't remember their face or names, they did not come for any of the class gatherings, or went back to visit teachers during teachers' day. Plus it is always those same few that turn up for these events...

I was walking home today, after I was out watching movie, when I was walking past this lamp post on the way home, it just suddenly went out, the light I mean...that particular lamp post...it's kind of creepy cause I remembered it happened once, a few days before, the very same lamp post, and the light went out just as I walked past it...talk about Dejavu...

Maybe it is some omen or something...I don't know...at that moment, it's like my world just darkens...not in a dramatic way larz, but it's like that area just got dimmer than it is supposed to be...

I think this is what's happening to me now...after 4 years of secondary school life, and suddenly it just ended like that. Poof and it's gone! For the past 3 years, all the Nov and Dec hols have been devoted to going back to school for St John training...finishing holiday homework, and all the related school stuff.

Then out of a sudden, I've got 2 months of my life devoted to myself. No committments, nothing, zilch.

It's like a part of my life just dimmed. Weird feeling...

Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
Now I'm down I'm just hanging on the corner
I can't help but reminisce
-Amos Lee

This is the first verse of the song "Colours". And this has been pretty much the way I've been feeling the past few days...

Since Tue (last day of school), I've been feeling a little scattered..or wonkey donkey as quoted from a previous post. Been busy with the t shirt collection...the dinner...the farewell outing for my friend which never did happen...

All sorts of things went wrong...person A thought that person B is collecting, person B is not free so I have to find a person C...and teacher X did not reply my msg or answer my call, making it hard for me to call to do the booking..

and worst of all, the farewell outing that never really happened, which got everyone (not exactly everyone) pissed off (yes me included)...got in a really bad mood that afternoon, not understanding why a certain someone is pissed, pissed that another certain someone is bochap-ing somewhere else on the island (which wasn't entirely true though)...

and all these happened on the same day at the same time...how great...it's like getting lost in a circus...feeling like such a mess...

But now finally got a chance to just sit down and think about the 4 years...and to come to accept the fact that my secondary school life is officially over...it's like when someone you love die, you just won't accept the fact that that person is dead...or a breakup...or whatever...the denial stage...haha...I guess it's getting a little too dramatic....

Thanks...to everyone...be it the teachers...my classmates...my squadmates...or even the cleaners...thanks for being a part of this very special 4 years of my life...you've added colours to a otherwise blank 4 years of my life...

Here's a song for ya...

Amazing Quotes

//Amazing Quotes//

Tonight's first part of the Amazing Race: Family Edition is not bad, lots of funny quotes...

Amazing Quote 1: At the airport, Weavers family surround DJ Paolo, asking him why he yielded them.

Mama Weaver: Why did you yield us?
DJ Paolo: You were the last there.
Mama Weaver: But we've been nothing but nice to you (yea, mocking Tony Paolo for his profession isn't exactly very nice..)
DJ Paolo: But this is a race!
Mama Weaver: Let's be friends...(and she said it in the freakiest kind of manner, like a psycho gone crazy woman)
*Look of WTF on DJ's face
DJ Paolo: It's the final 5, we were just trying to knock you out. (and he said something about using the yield)
*Fake stunned look on Mama Weaver face
Mama Weaver: But you don't have any yield left, we do sweets. (and she said it in yet another freaky manner)

Amazing Quote 2: At the warehouse

DJ Paolo (reading the clue): Fly yourself to Phoenix, Arizona.
Mama Paolo: Why the hell are we going to Arizona?!? I wanna go New Zealand!!
*so does the viewers Mama Paolo...

Amazing Quote 3: On the cart on the way to the warehouse

Papa and Mama Paolo singing some Italian Opera kind of song...
DJ Paolo: Am I in hell or what...

Amazing Quote 4: At the parking lot at the airport

Mama Paolo (to DJ): I hope you would never get married, no woman would take that kind of crap from you!

Amazing Quote 5: At the race track

Mama Weaver: My husband just died a year ago in the race track accident, we haven't really gotten over it yet, it is still kind of new for us....
Guy: It's very safe..*then he just went on explaining the task like nothing happened..

Amazing Quote 6: At the race track (which is my favourite)

Sister Godlewskis: I feel bad for the Florida team (Weaver family), their dad died in a race track aciddent.
Went over to Sister Weaver and pat her on her shoudlers
Sister Godlewskis: Are you okay, I'm sure your dad is very proud of you guys.
*a moment later after she left
Sister Weaver: I hate the Desperate Housewives (Godlewskis family), they are annoying, they lie.

*This is like the biggest irony ever, though I'm sure there is editing involved, but the editors make it seem like she said that right after the Godlewskis comforted her, and the "they lie" comment is so fitting, so I guess their dad isn't proud of them at all...since the Godlewskis sister "lie"...

Gang Fight

//Gang Fight//

"Police! Police! Police! Police!"

That's some dumb thing we have to shout when doing a st john first aid case that involves a gang fight.

Next we must clear weapons using a bandage or anything so that you don't leave your fingerprints...

Casualties are likely to suffer from multiple incised wounds...and clear the scene IMMEDIATELY if the gang comes back...

And no...this is not a post on "Dummy's Guide On How To Handle A Gang Fight", in case you are wondering.

One almost broke out in my class today. Not exactly "gang" fight, more like "cliques" fight, but to tell you the truth, I don't know what I should call it.

Long story short: Guy A provokes Guy B, then something happened in between, then Guy A and his "clique" want to fight Guy B and his "clique". Obviously this 2 cliques not getting along very well...(pardon me if there is anything wrong with the scenario I mentioned above..)

Seriously, I didn't know it happened, till I was told about it...I don't know a lot of things that goes on in class, I am always out of the loop..it is either I'm not observant...or I don't care about what happened...I guess it is more of the latter (since those who knows me well...knows I'm well know for my spying...I mean observation skills.)

So I find this whole thing amusing...I mean I thought this kind of thing would happen in pri 4 not sec 4, but who knows. Maybe the 2 groups do have some 深仇大恨which I don't know about (which is actually very possible)..

But personally, I get along ok with this 2 groups of people...not really very very close to either, am closer to one of the group than the other, but is on ok talking terms with the other...both seem pretty normal and ok to me...so I don't know what could have happen to make them hate each other so much (?).

Seriously, I don't know why I'm writing about this, this obviously has nothing to do with me...I'm not a part of it, but somehow, I just feel that I got something out of this whole incident...I just can't put my fingers around it and can't pinpoint exactly what is this "something"...

In a wonky donky mood now...feeling a little 精神恍惚 for no apparent reason...weird...

No observable change is an observation?

//No observable change is an observation?//

She once said that (actually more than once..) no observable change is an observation too, so we must record it down...

Does it mean that having no personality is a personality? I mean how often do you find people that is so stoned and boring...

Went for lunch with a few of my classmates today...felt so non existent during the whole time...almost like even I don't feel that I'm present...I'm a like a lousy advertisement...I'm there everyday...observing everything that goes on...but contributing to nothing that goes on...no one notices me...no one cares that I'm there...

Actually I'm fine with that, I'm not really an attention seeker...I do enjoy observing the people around me...in fact I hate it when I'm being put in the spotlight...I prefer to be in the dark corner that no one notices...kinda creepy huh..

But sometimes I cannot but help to feel really "empty" about myself, like one day when I die...it will be written on my tombstone..."Here lies Kay Siong: ..." yep... "...", cause there is really nothing much about me other than some dotz...

I actually find it tiring to go out with friends sometimes...trying very hard to fit into the conversation...or finding something common to talk about...sometimes to the extent that I feel like I'm 应酬 ing 客户 like that...

sad.grim.pathetic.

Never mind about that...on a brighter note...BAI LING AVOIDS ELIMINATION AND SHE IS STILL ON THE SHOW!! This week she sung Blondie's "Call Me", listen to it here. Yet another classic! And her dress got more atrocious this week, definitely in the "Miss List" for me. Hope she survive yet another week to provide us with some great entertainment...

Someone suggested that the show be changed to "But Can They Strip" to "But Can They Sing"...I have to agree though, I mean last week Bai Ling ripped off the bottom part of her dress at the end of her song, this week 1 of the male contestants came out topless and the other ripped of his shirt halfway through his song...maybe next week one female contestants will have "wadrobe malfunction" huh... :P

Remember to dl that clip!

Humanities In Celebration 2005

//Humanities In Celebration 2005//

Dear Sec 3 & 4 students,

Tomorrow and on Tuesday, we celebrate two more segments of Humanities in Celebration 2005: "Writers Talking" and "Litterae Humaniores Experience", although I'm sure it would not be a celebration for most students.

YOUR ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY, but for secondary 4s, there is pretty much nothing we can do if you don't come. Monitors are to take the attendance of your classes for each day using your class namelist, so it is advisable that you are on good terms with the monitor so that you can skip the event and he will still take your attendance. Both days' attendance records, stapled together, must be duly submitted to me at the end of the second day (8th Nov) of the event. These are school days and truancy will be dealt with strictly, although I'm sure the monitors will submit a attendance list with full attendance for most classes.

As I've repeated before, your class's seating plan is obtainable from the HIC website located on your school's homepage, but do take note, the seating arrangement on the actual day will be different as the seating plan online, so just sit wherever you want. You must know where to go and punctuality must be observed as lateness is an indication of your rudeness. Don't keep the writers waiting. Don't allow them to have a poor impression of you or your school.

During the TEA and LUNCH BREAKS, please proceed to the canteen to get your meals, a better alternative would be KAP, Coronation Plaza or better still, you may even go home for your lunch!

Last, do make an effort to ask questions during the Q &A, but rest assured if you do not have any questions, the chairman of the session will ask questions from a list of prepared questions. Bring along your notepads and craft the question as you listen to the talk, or you may entertain yourself by playing tic tac toe with your friends using the notepad if you are bored.

Enjoy yourselves students and do attempt the HIC portfolio task Mr Samuel Lim posted on my behalf for your ACE cps, which have absolutely nothing to do with sec 4 students unforunately. You may attempt them in either languages.

Regards,
XXX
Organising Secretary HIC 2005

*The above post is merely posting out some flaws of this event, this is not a personal attack towards anyone or the person who originally posted this message. :)

Tuesday Afternoon

//Tuesday Afternoon//

8th November. Tuesday.

Looking forward to it...yet dreading it...

Another chapter of my life will end that afternoon...

Let's review this chapter of my life in detail...see how much have changed...

First teacher that talked to us in class: OngTM (form teacher of 1A)
First piece of ACE submitted: Some article explorer I think...
First friend made: Feng Zhao (or iszit? I know he sit next to me...)
First test I failed: History (I think it is 12/25 in sec 1..not sure if it is a test)
First project mentor: OngTM (can't think of anyone else)
First project: Some religious harmony thing...
First MRP: About how propaganda has to do with Hitler success...
First MRP mentor: Paul Ho
First friend I made in St John: Vei Shen & Zhen Yu technically since they are my classmates. Other than this 2, I THINK the first person that I can remember his name is Wei Qin.
First time going out with friends in sec sch: Shld be with yc, mw & terence...since our squad ain't tt close in sec 1...we must have went to watch some movies after sat training...

Last teacher that talked to us in class: Chen Qiu Qing
Last piece of ACE submitted: English portfolio
Last test I failed: Maths test in term 1 (24/50)...nearly failed bio in term 2 though, but found 0.5 mark in the end...
Last project mentor: Vincent Tan
Last project: Some fibres thing...
Last MRP: Effects of media on ecotourism...
Last MRP mentor: Ms Sunita..

Most memorable event in secondary school: Whole squad (minus 1) pon SJAB training in secondary 2
Best thing that happened to me in the 4 years: Getting to know yc, mw, terence & the rest of the squad...(yes everyone...not excluding anione...)
Best teacher eva: other than mr lam...miss yap ROX! mrs ling...i sorta like her too...(haha...don't throw stones @ me..)
Biggest conflict I had in the 4 years: With jer i guess...I forgot how it is resolved in the end though...
Friend that I have lots in common: jb...(other than academic result which he is much superior)..i actually think we got a lot in common...

Looking back...I think I did make lots of friends in secondary school...but friends that I would surely keep in contact with for the rest of my life (maybe not the rest of my life but at least for a long time)...maybe only 3? Seems pretty pathetic...but that's me...I am not that sociable...I think I am already very blessed to have at least 3 truly good friends....

on a side note...wishing 1 (out of the 3) of my good friends good luck for his audition for campus superstar...

//Just For Laughs//

//Just For Laughs//

I discovered this show in USA by VH1 called "But Can They Sing"...

They basically invite all these D-list celebrity...then give them some vocal training...and make them sing in front of a audience, and the viewers will vote till a winner is born!

It's pure entertainment seriously...

And one of the D-list celebrity they invited is Bai Ling (I'm sure you know who she is if you always read the Hit Or Miss section in the Life section of Straits Times, she is always in the Miss list..)

You MUST listen to her version of Like A Virgin, it's hilarous!

Actually, come to think of it, listening to it is not enough, you must WATCH it! It is worse than William Hung seriously...

Her bad pronounciation....ugly dress...bad singing...weird performance...and the best part of the whole song is the chorus..."Like a Virgin...AWWW..." That "aww" is the only part she is in tune...

Also strongly recommended: Kim Alexis, Myrka Dellanos (totally butchered Norah Jones's Don't Know Why)...you can watch all their videos in the link above for the video...

Enjoy!
