Mao Mao Photo Spam

//Mao Mao Photo Spam//

I know you guys would probably be bored of my cute cute cousin's photos by now, but he is too cute to resist! He is one year old + now! Furthermore, I probably won't be writing much lately anyway, since there's nothing interesting about mugging anyway...

Not feeling very inspired to write too, though I've been thinking about some stuff recently...especially with things that has been going on like Grad Night, last CT session (with amazing potLUCK) & the receiving of enlistment letter...

So to prevent this blog from dying (like most of my classmate's blogs)...I shall spam photos!


cool mao mao...


grinning-ear-to-ear (with teeth!) mao mao


greedy mao mao...


belated birthday gift frm my sis (all the way from taiwan) to mao mao...


mao mao trying his new singlet...


...and oversized Snoopy polo tee...he sure looks happy doesn't he?


hungry mao mao...


mao mao (thinking): what about me?!


DA GE DA mao mao...


Oops I did it again!


Obedient-do-housework-for-mama mao mao


Play-with-chopstick mao mao...


Holding on for dear life...


mao mao: Give it to me...


Not mao mao..but ME! HAHA. Saw the teddy bear that I got from the class while shopping with mao mao...it feels weird to actually to be hugging the bear...instead of hugging the plastic (cause my bear is still wrapped in plastic...)...my bear is now living happily with the Hwa Chong bear now...

St John Photo Spam

//St John Photo Spam//

Haven't posted anything concrete here for quite some time. There's just so so many things to be done, and it's 20 days more to the big "A"s. It's kind of scary, but I really cannot freak out now, if I do, it will be 20 days of hell. Like Gary (and a lot of the others said). This 20 days will be long...but once it starts...it will be over before we know it...

On a side note, actually what I mentioned above was the side note, since this entry is supposed to be a st john photo spam. I finally got the CD of photos from jeremy. It's a weird looking at all these photos. It's not just nostalgia...espeically at this point in time...

I mean afterall, I've officially graduated from Hwa Chong (though I still have to go back to school)...my time in Hwa Chong is really really near the end already. It's been almost 6 years, kind of fast isn't it? So looking back at all these photos...makes me feel even more sad that I am going to leave all these behind really soon.

I was looking at edwin tan's facebook photo album, and I saw lots of photos of the old EP3 block, old St John room...all gone....then I look around me now...will the class bench still be there a few years down the road? Will the school still be the same? I better start taking some photos soon...

There are so so many moments throughout my 6 years here that I wished was captured down...like the time during sjab camp where we lie down in front of the clock tower at 12 midnight...or that one time I was at the terraces with my classmates (they were running, while I was lying down at the terraces..looking up at the sky)...or the gazillion times we played bridge at the class bench till 8+ in school before going for dinner....or even the times I spent with yc, meng and terence during recess talking crap even though we were from different classes....

It's this little moments throughout the 6 years that truly made my time here memorable, and it's things like this that I can't bear to part with...

I know it's a really bad time to start reminiscing about the past...but damn...it must be the photos' fault...ooh and grad night. Stupid photos and grad night. I should be mugging!

Anyway...here are the photos from the CD...

St John December Camp 2003


Irvin! And is that Shengjia lying on the floor?? Or is Shengjia the one back facing us?


LOL at this picture. Mingwei's face was clear, terence had bair hair, I still have my lao fu zi specs...and the scary thing is when I showed this to them, we actually remembered what happened. This is the fun triage, and the person we are dragging is You Jun, supposedly the terrorist (capturing the terrorist will gain us more points).


An apple a day keeps the doctor away!


I actually miss doing TOC...haha


Though I definitely don't like tunneling...


Minghao in action while Kai herng is busy posing for the camera. tsk tsk.


I remember this triage, probably the worst ever in my kife, and this clock tower stop was probably the hardest and most screwed up one.

Zone Competition 2004


Lol at this photo again. My classic open-mouth-and-stone expression. Lol at terence's hair too.


Before the comp in school!


Before the comp chilling at the foodcourt in Concorde (spelling?)


Aaron's team doing footdrill...tsk tsk...Aaron never point down his toes...


Mingwei humping the stretcher!


AA in action!


Loading the casualty onto the ambulance..


OMG I remember this case. I don't remember the injuries or what, but I rmb Kai Meng was so fat that it was so hard for me to do the total body checkup (especially checking his back)...


Doing case...short case? Long case? Can't rmb....

National Comp 2004


Saluting to Mr Tan Kah Kee before setting off...


Still saluting...


STILL SALUTING! I think we saluted him 88 times...


But saluting to him 88 times doesn't seem to help...one of our worst footdrill ever...like seriously...look at the arm swing...I remembered it was bad...I just didn't remember it was that bad...


*cringe*


Short case wasn't much better...I couldn't even diagnose major epilepsy...it's like spotting questions for exams..I was hoping this won't come out...and it did...and jeremy assigned me to him...tough luck...


As if the day wasn't bad enough...we had a "novel scenario" (quoted frm mrs foo) for TOC...


TOC without stretcher! How nice of them...


When we thought all hopes were lost...LONG CASE SAVED OUR LIVES! OMG, I still rmb how I was unexpectedly not nervous doing the CPR...


Me doing CPR...


And I even remember to put the casualty into recovery position after that...that is really like one of the best cases we did....

St John June Camp 2004


LOL at Chiawu...& Kai Herng Junior a.k.a Norvin...


Look at the background..that's my squad!! in pumping position..haha


Look at the stuff on the floor..haha..I remember I would practise emptying my bag and putting all the stuff back in within 30 secs at home before the camp....and I would pack my stuff such that it facilitates the emptying & repacking...haha....and we were already sweating like mad before the camp started....


SEH QIN! MUN YUNG! JEREMY!


Notice there is no squad beside the sec 2 (at that time) squad? That's cause we were off to out 12 rounds run at the track in st john uniform for peeping at the camp schedule....


Back from the run & off for triage...


Kai Herng's twin! Norvin! Notice how kai herng also looked like that in sec 1...and how both him and norvin changed drastically in sec 4...bu kui shi twins...


TOC...


The longest tunneling we did I think...at least the floor's relatively cleaner...


Not so clean here...and 2 tunneling in a triage...almost died...

Passing Out Parade 2004


That's me!

Post-Prelims Part I

//Post-Prelims Part I//

Prelims is over, like last week. Haha.

Got back geepee today. Can't say I'm escstatic over the results, but I guess getting through the essay relatively unscathed is already a reason to celebrate given the insane marking.

Under normal circumstance with humane marking, my essay marks would be considered painfully average, just like my PAE results, "on par with most high-calibre JC students" for all 3 categories, which is a nicer way of saying you are distinctly average and totally not worthy of the scholarship.

But 知足常乐, I shall be happy that at least I passed, since it would probably be one of the few subjects that I can pass (chem and bio..*coughs)

I thought I would be jumping for joy after the last paper on Thursday, but somehow the sense of euphoria is just not there. Don't get me wrong, I'm super glad it's over, but I'm just not overjoyed I guess. Numbing effects of taking so many exams this year.

Immediate post-prelims activities was fun though, and by immediate, I meant the 4 days of non-mugging and pure fun that followed the end of prelims. I did all the stuff that I've been wanting to do since like...god knows when.

Post-prelims school activities, like having revision lectures and remedials till 5 pm is not fun though.

Right after Chem paper 1 on Thursday, I went Malaysia to see my superduper adorable cousin.



He's still as cute as ever, and I think he resembles me a lot, in the sense that he LOVES to eat and he's super 贪吃. I miss him like mad while mugging for prelims, cause when you mug, your mind tends to drift off, so you tend to have more time to think about this kind of stuff.

Friday was a rather eventful day, I actually woke up at 6+ to follow my brother to school in my dad's car, so that I can go for a run at East Coast Park.

It was so painfully obvious that I haven't been exercising for a long time because I started panting like a dog just 1.5 mins into the run. Must be the oxygen debt Mr Terng has been talking about

Oh and I bought my first TOTO in my life. I mean it's 5 million dollar...why not? Actually I didn't intend to buy it in the first place, just so happen this man was selling TOTO at the place we had breakfast, so why not

Friday afternoon was spent at Kbox largely. It felt so good to be actually out there, having some kind of entertainment, rather than painstakingly trying to memorise the Krebs Cycle or some arcane Economics Theory. (click here and scroll down to the second definition, it's funny how they try to explain the meaning of arcane using Economics Theory as an example, how very apt..)

Saturday was spent with meng, cheng and terence. Watched "The Invasion" at AMK Hub, and gosh, AMK Hub is boring. And if you ask me to sum up the movie in 1 word, it would be "vomit"

*spoiler alert*

It's not cause the movie was so bad that it was vomit-inducing or anything like that. It's just that the infected people in the movie happen to spread the virus by vomitting at people directly, or into their drinks, etc.

NO! I'm not joking! It's damn funny, you have to see it to believe it, especially the scene on the train, where vomit was spewing all over the place. Oh, and apparently I would fit in perfectly, because all I have to do to fit in is to stone, cause what the virus does is to remove any emotion from the infected host, rendering them in a stone mode so to speak.

And yea, there are like 1001 loop holes in the plot...1001 unexplained stuff...but at the end of the day, I still got the thrill out of watching the movie, even though it's cheap thrill from seeing Nicole Kidman run from those "aliens". Yet at the same time, I get a good laugh seeing all those vomit flying all over the place.

It's a rare 2 in 1 package. I think this movie should be classify as a "Horror Comedy".

*end spoiler*

Ok, I don't usually do this, but I'm so tired now...I decided to continue this tomorrow...check this space for updates

MAF07

//MAF07//


Pretty lights. Picture koped from some senior's blog...

It was a fun night. Probably the last time as a student of hwachong, we zi high singing those songs that we never seem to knew and dancing the mass dance that only the councillors remember the steps.

On a sidenote, it's super weird seeing all these NY girls coming for MAF. And bring more sparklers next year to form the "71" that we failed to form this year.

Sleep

//Sleep//

The thing I look forward to the most after prelims is a good night sleep, for real.

No more weird dreams please.

My mind deserves a break.
