its 2007! a new year with an increased 7% gst! well, that sucks right? but what can we do? government says so, we just follow lor. anyway, a new year means reflection. yah, reflection on the past year. the already gone 2006.

here i go. hmmmmm, i did made a few big accomplishments in 2006. came off 2005 and entered class 4e. well. its not my choice. due to my poor maths results in 2004, the school placed me in class 3e which in turn will become class 4e. but still, i did enjoyed my time in 4e. with that crapper jun jie and all those crazy dnt students like justin, jing han etc. bunch of slackers.

well, 2006 was the first time i wore my red lanyard. yah the lanyard that signifies my power and authority as a staff sergeant. but still, above me, there will be some beings of greater power. the clts. yah. if i am not wrong. the second time i wore my red lanyard. i was pumped by my sir. sir zuotong. its the cca orientation day. we screwed it up. some miscommunication in our operations caused other cca group to think that we used bribery as a sort of gaining cadets. despite my firm ojections, the other bought pizzas. to objective of buying pizzas was to give the ones that put in effort during the orientation and maybe those that joined ncc land. but they got it all wrong and gave the sec 1 students to attract them to join. error in communication. the day ended with a one hell of a scolding with me going hard against sir zuotong. not a nice day to remember. we were already short handed and worse, our usm can't make it due to a workshop. so the rest of the staff had to take care of the situation with many inexperienced cadets running about.

our dear usm was having the adam khoo's workshop and came to have a look. but to his horror, sir zuotong was scolding us. he was shocked. utterly shock when we asked him to go away and treat that he saw nth. well. i should say we did not choose the wrong leader to follow. seeing us being scolded because of his mistake. he cried. well. we all did. 3 out of 5 of the staffs back then. elvis, ky and me. as for the other two. no comments. they took it like nth has happened huh?

anyway, around this time. my basketball idol, kobe bryant did something more than amazing. i was stunned too. on 22nd january 2006, kobe bryant scored 81 points against toronto raptors. second highest points scored in a nba match right after lengend wilt chmaberlain 100 points game. nice? kobe is pro man. too pro.

next was the adam khoo's workshop. should be a fortnight after the cca orientation day. or one week after. i forgot. lasted 3 days. it was on speed reading, mind mapping, o's study methods blah blah blah. and the big finale? a talk about family ties which sent everyone weeping. it did help us in bonding with family for awhile i guess. by the way, the speed reading and other study methods don't work for a slacker like me. a slacker has a slacker way of studying. =x

next should be the racial harmony day bazaar bah. if not wrong. well. that day was havoc. i did not help out at my class outlet at all. y? ncc was shorthanded on that day for carpark duties, i need to be there to inspect the juniors. only i was down there full time. lauzh, ky , elvis and jun liang need to help out with the class outlets. well. as usual, i complained. why does ncc land always have to do all these shit jobs? y not the ncc air? is it because we are a bronze unit and they were gold? well, on that day. had some fun too bah. my class had this dunking machine for the bazaar. we caught ky and dunked him. lol. fun sia. well. what can i say? being sabo and prank is the special privilege our usm always gets. lol. mass lan on that day. havoc sia. tonnes of guai lan-ing and xia lan-ing. as usual. all against ky. i think. he's tough man. always going up against all of us. lol. usm mah. should have more endurance than us.

up next. the advanced drill course aka supernumerary course. yah. the applicants of our unit, sir han teng, ky, me, zh, jun liang and elvis were all selected out of all the many applicants. it was a five day course i think. during that five days. we went through alot of drills classes and tests. we were being trained in sword drills, more complicated arm drills, colour aka flag drills, more complicated foot drills and lastly, slow march. well. i was separated from the others and was all alone in a platoon filled with strangers. well. after five days, my hardwork paid off. i got my yellow lanyard. well, its a good think we turned up for the course instead of running off and playing lan on the day of reporting.

hmmmmmm. what's next? let me think. well. yah. its april i think. she came back to me. yah. jasmine tan. well. what can i say? was so confused back then. she just broke with her ex. jonathan choo. and said she like me again? brothers told me i was a spare tyre until a better man comes along. but still. i started with her again. until may bah. we sort of ended.

anyway, around this time, my dear usm had a growing interest in a girl called wong xin yi and tries to get close to her, with the help of the kwa cousins. lol. never did we thought that this courtship will turn out to be one filled with many ups and downs. lol.

lakers got into the playoffs this seasons but didn't made it far anyway. was eliminated by the phoenix suns 4 games to 3 in the best of 7 series. kobe bryant led the league in scoring with 35.4 points per game but he was not named the mvp of nba. instead steve nash of phoenis suns was named the mvp, second time in a row.

also, around this time was the mid year examinations. the students from 4a to 4d were busily studying. but my brothers and i were slacking away. full time. our special talents. well. to my surprised, i got 2nd in class again this time. despite all the slacking. lol. not bad. quite a great achievement bah. lol.

well, during this period, something happened. dk was kicked out from the group. main cause? ky and me. haix. so sorry bro. we were wrong. in return, the masterplan was formed. clan heads or should i say high council members were sam, ky, me and wen jie.

after that 6th june 2006 was around the corner. plans? we decided to go to our ncc annual camp on 5th june with samuel and wen jie to celebrate 6th june. the so called devil's rebirth? aiyah. i am not satanic, i am not so sure. was chased out by mr rudy. so decided to go to samuel house to fool around. that day was fun. bbq-ing, jiao wei-ing and giving elvis a birthday surpirse. ky decided to confess to xin yi on this particular day too. he hoped that 666 will bring him luck. well. on 4th june 2006, talked to her and we sort of patch back again bah. anyway, that is not the main point. we played til almost 4 plus 5 in the morning, then we slept awhile. lol. ky and me bathe together. lol. shared a bathtub. lol. fun man. talked alot while we slacked in the bathroom for almost 2 hours. lol.

on 6th june 2006. everyone woke up. lethargic. sam and me went for dnt and was scolded for being so sloppy. lol.

during the june holidays, the masterplan high council members went on a trip to pulau ubin. to have fun and also to scout the area. be the pioneers. why? we would bring the rest of the masterplan members back here for fun. one day. we swore it in that day. anyway, we spent the day cycling. it rained in the night and we cycled in the rain to look for a shelter. it was freaking cold. spent the night under a shelter in the resort. one hell of a night.

after that? i spent almost all of my time with brothers. jiao wei-ing and doing dnt. during dnt, jun jie will get spastic when we all get tired. he's the source of fun in dnt. regret for not spending more time with him.

during this time, ky and xin yi progress alot. well, so like u all guessed. i spent most of my time together with them and the kwa cousins in their group outing, or should i say group date? well, i had nth better to do, so might as well help out my brother. its good to see a happy ending. well, it never came. haix.

everyone should be asking, what about my girl yah? well. here is my reason for not going out with her, first, its not like i nv asked her out. out of my 10 attempts from april to july, the results was, mission failed. i was too darn sianned after the chains of failed missions to even call her out again. so i decided to spend time with brothers instead. secondly, she and me was nv meant to be. we had a barrier. a barrier so great for me that i felt uncomfortable. i wasn't me in front of her. the full time jiao wei-ing guai lan slacker jeremy wasn't him at all in front of her. lol. maybe that's because we didn't know each other well at all bah. we started just like that, in a blink of an eye. can't blame anyone. in a relationship to me, there is no right or wrong, only fit or not.

i think it is during this time that we all got interested in fishing, so from there we bought two fishing rods and went fishing almost every weekends. lol. never really caught anything. we were noobs mah. lol. masterplan broke up soon after when wen jie and sam quarrelled.

came prelim bah. she told me that we should keep distance. well. i agreed. in order for her to concentrate on her studies. well. hard time for me. damn hard. anyway, full time slacking since june had became a habit. i can't get down to study. was so distracted with my relationship problems and also, my habit. so was deciding to flung my prelims where in turn, i got third in class. a miracle. yes. second time. luck was on my side. lol.

it is around this time that my brothers started to like playing basketball. so we started playing whenever we have the time. decided to accept jun ming as my one last final apprentice and impart him all my skills to make him more pro than me. lol. with a chance to play basketball almost daily, my long lost skills were slowly regained. during this point of time, i was on the way to regaining my skills while i was at my peak during sec 1. as according to justin, my three pointers improved to around the 60 to 75% range. i was happy, but i soon found out one thing, i really can't play basketball for long, my knee injury started to work up. still remember the sleepless nights due to the pain.

oh yah, before i forgot. there was a break in between the prelims exams, so we decided to celebrate xin yi birhtday at east coast. it was 1st september if i am not wrong. ky brought an ice cream cake to celebrate her birthday, sweet ain't he? but haix. it should be around this time that they ended. love huh? root of all heartaches. urgh.

after prelims came the real thing, the o levels. so everyone was studying even harder. due to the poor prelims results. teachers pushed us even harder. while. the others changed. but not me. i was slacking away again. same problems i faced during prelims kicked in. this time. its harder. we kept our distance still. for the fear that teachers will find out that she is in a relationship and if her mum finds out through our "caring" teachers. its her doomsday. lol. well. i got so pissed during those time. why? to prevent being suspect, she should keep distance from all the boys or just me alone? all the boys right? but nah. she kept distance from only me alone. was so pissed. anyway, ain't this even more suspicious? don't know, don't care, don't bother. it's all over what. just a reflection now. lol.

amidst the distance. i was even more pissed. i thought all along she wanted to study, so i nv disturb her. but in the end. she was playing gameboy advance all the while. almost blow up like a dormant volcano. an eruption from a dormant volcano is even more serious than an eruption from an active volcano. that's what i read and know. thanks to my superhuman effort to control my anger. i ended up giving her attitude only. but the aftermath was already very serious. wonder what will happened if i blew up then? lol.

anyway. we ended, ppl who read my previous post should already knew. o's came. i went unprepared. though the papers were sort of easy except for the physics paper. i am still very afraid now. what if i didn't reach my 14 point mark for l1r5? well. what can i say? you reap what u sow yah? i did not studied, so i should not expect any good grades. lol.

also, before i start my job hunt, the whoe gang went to pulau ubin again. further details about the trip is in the post dated 27th november 2006. =)

after o's i went to work. in fact the days i spent job hunting was even more than the days i actually worked. work for 8 days only. even up til now. i am still waiting for the fliers job. wonder when i can start work. anyway. since after o's, all our brothers did not meet up that often liao. all tied down by work. schooling is better still. cause we still can hang out. haix. nvm, if there's a will, there's a way. we can meet up if we made an effort to. yah?

thats the end of my reflection. so long year 2006 and wecome 2007. hope that everything will be better in 2007. let's hope so. let's hope.

anyway, before i go, its a new year. so i decided to try a new thing. i've added a statcounter in my blog on this new year day. bye ppl. gonna slack now.
