A Party to Remember

And the Boran uniform party held during Nic's Birthday party is hereby declared a success. It was probably the largest turnout for any Boran gathering since FOC ba. And it was a success cos it was so memorable.
It all started when we were supposed to meet at Serangoon MRT station. Dunno why that bloody Tom, Keith and Gong Lei were late. We were supposed to meet at 345. But at 4, Tom called and said they'll be 15 mins late. I think he meant 15 mins late each. Knn. Make us wait for so long. Then, of course, only Peizhi came in her TKGS uniform. And commuters must have been staring wondering how come TKGS girl dye hair, wear slippers and worse, wear uniform on a public holiday. Oh, and tie 2 plaits too. LOL. The rest of us all only brought our uniform to change.
Then by the time those assholes came, it was like 430. We met the rest of the group at the Chomp Chomp bus stop and went to Nic's house together. With a combination of lousy topo skills (I tell you, these group of people can get lost in Bizad, wat u expect?) and lousy memory (for those who been to his house before) we made it to nic's house after another 30 mins. Lol.
Once there, we all changed to our uniforms. It wasn't long before those from LJC showed why they are from LJC - we were the only ones who wore PE T-shirt instead of full uniform. Lol. And hence the 4 of us (LJC for that day: Keith (Dean), Xiaoshan, Shi Kun and erm, me -_-") were roundly condemned. What to do? LJC wat. (Loser JC by the way.)
Session began with lots of photo taking. And more photo taking. And more photo taking. -_-"
And after the rest, actually only Huimin la, so dua pai, arrived, we went to eat. Wahaha. Then realised there were not enough seats. So me, xiaoshan and Keith had to eat standing. Knn, really LJC.
The fun really began after dinner when we played Zhong Ji Mi Ma. Wahaha. But basket, they wanna target Keith and Tom, in the end those seating around them (meaning me) also kana. What the heck. the penalty was to drink some liquor-soft drink mix concocted by Gong Lei. Obviously he can't be a bartender in future. Damn yucky la. Anyway, its a penalty, so oh well. And dunno why, all the LJC people all kana the penalty, really loser sia. The best was the second final round, when they tried, but failed to target Keith. So in the end, the few of us had to make things happen. Liyang sat beside me and he was to set the final number. So he set 5. Qinyao was next, and cos he saw the number, he said 6. So wah, instantly the range cut from 0 - 6. Then next was Jonathan, who was seating in front of me. (K, the seating arrangement is abit odd, but nvm.) Since Keith was after Jonathan, I was furiously whispering to Jonathan: Say 4! Say 4! then of course jon said 4. And that loser Keith kana penalty. Well done guys. LOL.
The next game is the official Boran game of 24. Cos of the large group of people, we split into teams of 4. Naturally, the 4 LJC people were grouped into the ultimate dream team. (More like nightmare team) And naturally, Team LJC led the rankings by losing the most rounds. We win by losing. Wat the heck... Lol. But the ultimate round that fully exemplified our loser prowess was the 2nd final round. Cos the objective of the game is to form the number '24' from 4 randomly chosen poker cards. Naturally, the last to know the answer or the one that don't know the answer when checked by the slowest guy/team is the loser. For that fateful round, some of the teams tapped already. Then I asked Keith, "Eh, u tapped already or not?" Then dunno why that Chao Yi Lang (means deaf in cantonese) go tap the table. Then dunno why the loser me go say, "Eh, I ask u whether tapped or not. Not ask u to tap leh." Then immediately all the other teams heard that and tapped. Then the 'last' team check us, and basket, of course we dun know la. Knn. That stoopid Keith thought I ask him to tap. What the hell?? Kaoz, really damn loser sia.
In the end, after the cake cutting, we had a prize presentation for the best dress award, which went to Peizhi for her glaring-green-Ah-Lian-in-TKGS-uniform look. Then of course the award for the 4 LJC people for being worst dressed was to be immediately above Nic when they tau-pok-ed him. Crazy man. I was almost squashed out of existence. Lol.
Happy Birthday Nic!

The First Raindrop

The latest craze sweeping through Boran now is this book "The First Raindrop". Dunno why Keith suddenly decided to lend this book to everyone. But because this is a book that uses comic characters to tell the stories, its actually quite fast to complete and hence spreading like wildfire. Actually the book is good cos its very touching, and most importantly, its true. But in many ways, the book is kinda emotional and sounds like its for losers (like Keith... and me.) that it should be the official LJC textbook. And proud to announce that LJC now has 2 new members. Yay. For the uniform party shall we wear our LJC uniform? Just anyhow design one la. Should be quite easy to design a loser uniform. Lol.
There was also the FOP heads elections this week. Naturally, the post people were most interested in was the FOC head, which went to Nicholas. There was slight contention at his choice cos he's a year 1, and basically, they don't trust a year 1 to handle the most important event in Bizad. Well, I believe he can do it. But it'll be tough. We'll (Ok, me. -_-") help you as much as we can. So next year's FOC have must have OG's with names that start with 'B' 'O' 'R' 'A' 'N' 'R' 'O' 'X' k? And there was also the Rag head post up for grabs which that Kevin ran off at the last minute. In the end he backed out... make Ruisheng happy for 2 days only. But dun blame him la, its a huge responsibility. He's brave enough to even think of it.
And of course, there is the haze which is like getting from bad to worse. Basket, those Indonesian farmers have nothing better to do, burn the trees like nobody business. Knn. Then they burn their stuff still must let other people suffer. Dunno why this year particularly bad. Must be those Indonesians smoke too much cigarettes also then all the passive smoke drift over. And the worst part is dunno why now dry season, no rain, so the haze is damn bad, PSI (Passive Smoke Index) always above 100. S'pore and M'sia should take revenge - when the winds blow towards Indonesia, they should gather ALL the smokers at sentosa and puff together so that one bloody gigantic cigarette cloud go blanket Indonesia. Muahaha.

"If you cut it, won't it grow out again? Why not uproot it then? Then it'll never grow again."
"Cutting it is painful. But if I uproot it... I'll die..."
"You won't die, my friend..."

Post Mid Terms

And now that the dreaded mid-terms have passed, its time to focus on more important issues. Like Nic's birthday party, the Boran uniform party (O_o") and the Boran T-shirt committee. Lol. With Boran, there's just no short of activities.
First, we'll be celebrating Nic's birthday on Tuesday. Since we are friends, I shall not tell everyone that you'll be 24 this year. See so good rite? He'll be holding the party at his house. And since he's so nice as to hold a party for us, we'll definitely be getting him a present. (Erm, right?) Maybe we'll get him a 1 year subscription of FHM. Then again, he the SSBTKRSPP probably already has a lifetime subscription. Or we can get him some magic trick manual that'll teach him the ultimate "one-snap-of-finger-and-I-steal-your-laundry-liao" skill so that he won't have to scale the walls of B-Block to steal all that.
And we're gonna have the uniform party on the same day. Meaning that all of us will have to wear our uniforms to the party. In the first place, who came up with this idea?? The guys, especially, can't fit into the uniforms liao lor. For the benefit of the guys, I mean, we go through NS then put on all those muscles confirm now cannot squeeze into uniforms la. :)
The uniforms we can fit into are probably only our army uniforms. Then you suddenly see got mobilisation on Hari Raya at Nic's house. Then people later think he terrorist or what.
Then we are also planning on getting a Boran Jersey for all after end year exams. Hence the T-shirt committee. Then you see during lecture one whole row of people wearing same shirt. Then better still, all sleep during lecture. Liddat all of us sure get on Dean's list one. Dean's Blacklist.

Just a Note...

Just wanna add that no matter what happens, be it I buang the 'additional' module or whatever, I have no regrets taking this module k? Given a chance to go back in time, I still would have done the things as I had done and no other. Tired, down, but not out... unless I get kicked out of the module la. But till then...

Happy Mid Term Festival

Mid Terms are on!! Seems like time pass so quickly, its already more than half the semester through. And now we get our first taste of NUS tests. Haiz. So everywhere you go now, you see people mugging like there's no tomorrow. And this is only mid terms. Imagine final exam... no I can't imagine.
Anyway just had 2 mid term papers today. Engineering Fac sux lor. Kns, dun know how to arrange tests one. Had one test in the morning from 1115 - 1215. Then the next test was at 715 - 845 at NIGHT lor. Knn. What the hell are we supposed to do for 6 hours in between??? In the end I also go library and sleep. Crap lor, this type of lousy timing. The lecturers should take module CS1101T - Common Sense for Test times. And maybe MKT1003 - Mid-term Kana Ten upon ten - How to set mid term test papers so students will confirm score. And maybe BSP1004 - Ban Study/Subject Pools - How not to put study/subject pools as part of module requirements. And maybe FNA1002 - Fun and Nice Assignments - How to give students assignments that are fun and nice to do. And score too. And also MNO1001 - Make Notes 0 dollars - Find ways, like cutting lecturers' pay, so that notes are free to all students. And BSP1005 - Buay Sai la Projects - How to modify projects such that they won't take up so much of students' precious time. Or ST1131A - Shit, Test Again?? - How to make tests easy and spaced out, like test only once per year or none at all.
On top of that I think I'm taking another module,
Module code: Not reveal-able.
Term Tests: Tests are impromptu and percentage of final grade are determined by lecturer. Each test might have very few questions. But questions are usually unanswerable. So in other words, you just fail the tests la.
Lectures: Every single day.
Tutorials: Same as lectures.
Projects: Occasional projects on certain periods. Projects are optional. But might account for up to 100% of the final grade, depending on how good the project is. So you can do 1 project and pass the module instantly or do 100 projects and still fail the module.
Course outline: Basically this course is not restricted to 1 sem only. Might spill over to infinity depends on how good you are. Chances are, it will spill over 1 sem. Topics cover basically everything. And the best part is, you have to find out the topics yourself, cos the lecturer won't tell you anything. And if during the course of this module, u feel very demoralised, too bad, hey you signed up for this module rite? Nobody forced you.
Workload (Lecture hours per week - tutorial hours per week - hours of assignments - hours of preparatory work):
(24x7 - 24x7 - 24x7 - 24x7) Basically all your time. You sleep also think of this module - It's that good.
Oh and MC: 0 MC. And naturally this module un-S/U-able. Strictly core module.
People interested in this module/not sure wat crappy module this is, pls ask Huimin. LOL.

Happy Mid Autumn Festival

While writing this post, its not really the Mid Autumn night. But I can't help noticing that the full moon is out. And somehow, I feel a little tinge of sadness. And then I hear David Tao's Yue Liang Dai Biao Shui De Xin. KAOZ. Too drama already. Lol. Actually more like the first thing I notice is the bloody haze. Everywhere you look, the haze actually gives the surroundings a surreal feel, like you are somewhere up in the mountains. Well, although Singapore is flat and the only place is if you go to the 30th storey HDB flat (Ironic right? Such a tall... Flat???) and watch the clouds floating in. But haze is haze. And haze is bad. Crap, thought such things only happen during the lunar 7th month where they burn those paper $$ like nobody's business.
Anyway enough kaopeh-ing. Bizad had their Mid Autumn Festival (MAF) celebrations today. Actually also nothing much la. There were song dedications from morning till evening then followed by live performances. Well, to begin with, I was the DJ from 2-4 in the afternoon. Lol. Actually I volunteered for it la, cos I was bo liao and i thot it would be fun. Well, u dun really get much chances to talk cock to a crowd of people rite? Lol. And be DJ good, nobody dedicate song? Then I just play the songs I like. So too bad for the others la. Muahaha.
And in the evening, we had live performances from Juli and Kevin again! Thats it la. We have got the winners to next year's Stardust Duet category. And unfortunately for most of the people, they had FNA lecture from 7-9pm. Xiao. Actually, if dun have the lecture, I think there will be even less people staying back for the celebrations lor. But the celebrations continued till about 8+ before they concluded it.
Actually, there's alot of Sai Kang going on behind the scenes to make all these seemingly trivial 'celebrations' happen. And for this, we have to thank the 20th Bizad Club Main Com and Standing Com. After the whole event, Ryan gathered all the club com members and Boran people (k, only those who were around. -_-") and the few others who helped out in one way or another. He gave his debrief and thanked us, esp those non-club com members (read: mostly Boran) who helped out. It seems like the Boranians are accepted as part of the Bizad Club All Projects Sub Com liao. Lol. And after his debrief he asked us if anyone wanted to say anything else. Well, I wanted to say this then, but didn't.
So say it now: I say Bizad no 1, u dun believe very cham. LOL. Think I still got the red glove disease. Next up for Boranians: StompAids for lao da!
After so much cock, on a side note, you know sometimes you can't stop listening to a particular song cos it says so much of wat u're feeling now. I'm now stuck at 2 songs. The worst part is one song makes me feel better while the other makes me feel so much worse. Somebody help me.
