_Together

This is my 100th post. Is the reason enough to call for a celebration? Today is the official last day of the school holiday. After school reopens will be the Mid year examinations that everyone is waiting for or rather forced to wait for. I hope that today and tomorrow will pass on very slowly so that i have some more time to catch up on my work. Though it may seem little, i believe even if a minute is used wisely, it will be very beneficial.

Now, i am raising another caterpillar. Hopefully it will grow into a Malaysian Zebra Butterfly or the Mime Butterfly after seeing the patterns that was on him. The picture there is the Mime butterfly. Haha. Somehow most girls are afraid of bugs especially wormy little caterpillars. Instead of being scared and petrified, i am raising them. They will morph into the beauty of nature, pollinating the flowers bring out the sweetness of the fruits. The little caterpillar is now living in a container after learning the lesson that the wilderness is a dangerous place. So i give him one fresh leaf everyday and he is growing very well. How do i know that? By seeing the many excretions that dotted the whole container floor. He sure eats a lot.

To my dear Ziv Viento:
Hello small one,

I am here writing you a letter because I've written one for your senior too who has gone MIA. Just in case you said that I'm biased, here's one for you.
Ziv Viento... Hmmm.... Nice name! But do you know what does it stands for? Ziv is something like your family name. While Viento means wind in Spanish. I look for other languages too like Japanese (wind = kaze) and French (Vent), Kaze sounds nice, but just don;t goes with Ziv, so the final choice is Viento. Cool!!!
Of all words and elements why wind? I got the inspiration while standing by the window side, fretting over your name. I hope that you can be as free as the wind, going to wherever you like and as 潇洒 charming as the wind. Everything is done with force and decisiveness but yet with great gentleness and style. Sounds chimilogy... Perhaps I've a too high expectation for you.
Lastly, enjoy your caterpillar hood, eat and eat and eat and later cherish the moments of being a pupa. Slack and slack and slack. In anyway, just be a happy butterfly, living your life to the fullest.
Best wishes!

This is the last week of the "holiday". My daily routines for the past weeks are: Wake up, have brunch (breakfast cum lunch), study, dinner, use computer, sleep. This has been continuing and i doubt it will change. What a boring and dull life. When i watched the TV, I saw the western countries kids, at the age of 16, 17, they are already working or apprenticeship, or experiencing life. Though their life may be hard, but it is definitely more enriching, better than us, our main job is to study and get a degree out of it, so that we may have a better career pathway. Haix. I wanna go out of my cage and take a look at every inch of the world.

Just yesterday i lost my ezlink card, but luckily it us found. i was searching high and low for it and i turned my house upside down but still couldn't be found. In the end, i gave up searching. In Chinese, there's a phrase saying, if one went to find some thing intentionally, the thing will still be missing, and if one don't look for it, it will just pop out. And that came true. While i was looking for something else, it was there. Hid under the standing fan. Lol... what a dark and secret corner of the house.

While i was looking for my ezlink card, i found my P1, P2 diary. It is so amusing and entertaining. Let me show you some of the entries. *The grammar and spelling are not changed*

To my GC:
Dear GC,
How are you doing now? I know it is very scary to be alone. It's been a day le, i am sorry that i cannot be by your side. The doctor said that you are defective because of the battery leakage. Stupid china batteries. A word of advice: don't use energizers. Perhaps you will be on the surgery table soon. May your surgery be of a success and come back to me, to fight with me together in this coming mid year.
Get Well soon!!!

To my caterpillar:
Dear Zivlittle,
It has been 2 days since you go missing. I miss you so much. Though it has been 48 hours, i still hope that you're only MIA, not KIA, believing that you're alive. Perhaps you're just been playful, went out of the lime lime plant and went playing with the rose plant or mint plant. But please bear in mid of those frightful birds that will make you a meal out of it.
The name ZivLittle is being given by my brother. That's makes ZivCharles's brother. Like Stuart Little, hopefully you will be lively, fluttering from flowers to flowers. Perhaps you're not a caterpillar le, you may have become a pupa growing into a beautiful butterfly.
Please come home soon...
* Ziv Little is a lime butterfly caterpillar

For the past few days, it was very very boring. Nothing to do,it is even hard to find someone to chat. Supposed to be studying, but i end up doing all sorts of nonsense like reading an irrelevant story book, sleeping, drawing. Well, at least i did a teeny weeny bit on Chemistry. Today, i wanted to settle down to do maths. To my horror, my GC crashed. oh god...!!! Firstly it was one column of buttons that cannot work. After some time of hard pressing, it can work, but to my another terror, the machine flashed a few times and it just died out like that.
Bring it to see the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully it just a minor flu and it can come home soon. My calculator has becomes a liability. haizzz

LTC Week

This is the LTC week. Almost spending the same time with all the participants in school except that we did not stay overnight because Mr Lee don't allow us to. Overall, it was quite well done. The camp was a fun, tiring and full of obstacles and some say it was inspiring. I am now trying to find ways to upload the LTC Video, so everyone can have a look at it.

On the first day, the only fun thing was the morning ice breakers, where they played the egg, chicks and chicken game and all sorts of games. Followed that was series of talks. I guessed a lot of people had benefited from it from discovering their inner abilities or managed to catch a wink. So the first day was quite a boring day for us. The only main duty was the auditorium sound system and that's the end of it.

On the 2nd day was a more thrilling day. I was out on duty in some forest ( one that cannot be mentioned) but it's the northern part of it which i never went before. So together with Syn Yeow, Camillus and LiWei, we overcame steep slope, lots of hills, mud, rocky paths and the 7-storey Tower.
They had the war game and the teams i tagged along, all of a sudden, the attacker team all died, thus not much footage was caught. Then after that, we met with a paranoid park ranger that thought that infra-red can cause forest fire... .... ... I think he never passed his science papers. If the infra-red from the guns can cause forest fires, the the flash from our cameras can cause a total destruction of forest. ROFL... Luckily, Mr Tan Jek Suan came in time to solve all the problems and afternoon programme still continues.
Afternoon programme was named as Treasure Hunt, but there isn't any treasure to hunt, I think it should be named as rotational games. Haha. Lunch was pathetic. Either the school is on a too tight budget or the teachers are on diet. 2 pieces of white bread, an apple, a banana were what we have only. What a "healthy" meal when output>input. We tagged along Ryan's group. Their first station is to climb the 7 storey tower, of course with some restrictions. On going up, Jonathan carried Ryan, on coming down, Ryan carried Jonathan. The games overall was really fun. By the time when we were on the bus returning back, i fell asleep.

3rd day was the editing day. Mainly, stuck in the Presentation studio doing the editing of the actual day video. Though i was not going for excursion, i reached there at 7am, to settle the food, the people going out and some administrative stuffs. The photo side screwed up somehow, but luckily still have the end product.
Anyway, the organizers put in a scolding or punishment sessions. After all, camps are not supposed to be all fun. Together with it, there must be some hardships. Their punishments came in all kinds of styles (each group is different) like staking the chairs from the canteen and put back again in 12 mins or backward running round the tracks holding hands together. As Jonathan was caught for HP, his whole group had to carry him and ran the Piazza 30rounds. Heard him saying that he was very touched till h e cried.
Since there was so many things going on, the videographers and photographers were sent out to capture the precious moments. In the end , everyone was being cursed and swore at. After everything, they were told that the things they did was only to leave them some memories. That day, we stayed till like 9+ pm before we went home. Tired...

Finally, today is the last day. The good thing was the montage was ready on time. When I saw the audience clapping and laughing at the clip, i felt so satisfied. This kind of feeling can never be bought with money. After the whole thing, we all went out to TPY burger king for lunch, something like a celebrating lunch. Then actually, wanted to catch Pirates 3 ( The world's end), but the seats were full. Who knows, my parents, just returned from china, bought a bag of DVDs including the pirates 3, Shrek 3, Bean holiday, Norbit and some more. Don't worry. It's legal de.
I was actually planning to sleep, when looking at the temptations of the DVDs, i watched Shrek 3, in the end, i fell asleep in the middle of it. So after dinner, i continued it and watched Bean holiday. Haha... funny movies.

Okay after talking for so long, here's the video.
Part 1

Part 2

Now, after seeing the video, it's time to thank all people who have helped in the LTC.
Mudit: Day 1 sounds and Video editing ( you really have funny ideas). Keep your creative juices flowing.
Joshua: Sounds for 1st and last day for both audi and quad. Thanks for following me around.
ShaoRen: Thanks for joining in editing and accompany Ian to the forest.
Cheryl: Main editor for video ( Big potential!!!) Thanks for staying late on Wed.
Eileen: You're just natural with the video camera. Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Ian: Thanks for coming down to help. So sorry to make you walk the forest for 3hrs for nothing.
Camillus, Joel: Thanks for walking through the forest and capturing nice photos
Jonathan, Marie: Thanks for coming down at 6 today. Good job!
YiTong, LiWei: You all have better potential when you're separated. Nice try! Jiayou!
Daniel, Syn Yeow: Keep up with the good work! Make the video cam as your best friends.

Thank You!!!

The 1st week of holiday

The first week of holiday is going to be passed just like that, without any thrilling or productive days. For the past one week, the only good thing is done is going back to school, sit there in the lecture hall for 1 hour and listen attentively. Well, at least in this way, I've learned something better than sitting at home rocking (stoning). Haha!
Tuesday was Math lecture. Mr Lyncoln Lee was the lecturer of the day. Haha. It was still kinda boring but we managed to finish inequalities. Wednesdy was biology. Somehow, things just went in one ear and came out of the other ear. That's a bad thing. After that 2 days of lessons, I went to the presentation studio for 2 to edit the 17min video that we had shot previously. In the end, we used 5 hours. As a first timer, the quality isn't up to standard. Voices are not loud to be heard and a lot of head cutting scene. Haha! So well, the next day, we did another one again. The first day, i have help from Mudit while the second day, i had help from YaoZong. Thanks!
Then Thursday was Vesak Day, public holiday. I was supposed to do work. In the end, i did 3 maths question of the specimen paper. What a "feat"! Haha. Though it was only 3 questions (total 15m), i used 1 hour because i had forgotten all the formula. All the previous months work, I've all sadly return back to Pris Lee. Bad bad bad!
Friday, went back for another biology lesson. Well the lesson is clear and i can understand but i am sandwiched between 2 people who are very hyper and happy that day that they just could not stop themselves from sharing their stories and joy. After lesson, went for a game of pool. It's been quite a long time since i played. The game was somehow not too good. haha! I had real good fun that day but when i came home it was disastrous!
The master bedroom is flooded. Though it was not that kind of flood until ankle or what, but it was already bad enough. 1/3 of the room was wet. Why is that so? It was because my brother was stucked in the virtual world of GunBound and did not close the window when the rain was pouring heavily. Sometimes, i really had to fight with Gunbound to gain attention for my brother.
After friday came Saturday. what a good day to have! A day of peace and tranquil with everything solely to myself only. I just simply love it. A simple day! Today is Sunday. Indeed, it was really sunny. well, after blogging, i'll have to start some serious work. I am getting very lazy and i need to get out of it. Start my revision slowly (hopefully, there's time) to gain momentum and by the end of holiday, i w;ll be all well prepared for the coming mid year. =)
To all people outside, please control yourself and get to study( play hard but study even harder for this period) before we all regret. It's an undeniable truth that not all people are borned as some genius. So 1% of luck while 99% is on ourselves (hardwork)... Jiayou bah!!!
