Las Vegas.

Well here's the story.
I fell sick. i think i had food poisoning. from some Chinese restaurant in The Venetian.
It lasted for 2/3 of the side trip to Vegas. It sucked and ruined the whole experience for me.
Well at least it only came after the trip to the Grand Canyons. haha. the photos are in reverse order i think. haha.

Yeah! I got my hands on gambling chips from the MGM Grand! haha

you walk out of the airplane in Vegas and it's slot machines immediately. Now isn't that crazy.

We took a chopper down to the canyons!

zong he at the canyons

me next to a cactus. haha.

Canyon spastic photo.

Zong he at Canyons.

me posing spastic again! haha. I have to stop doing that!

We took a plane down to the helicopter place.

this was the plane. small huh. it's noisy too.

This where we stayed. We got the cheapest rooms. I mean cheap. like dirt cheap.

Leaving vegas. I didnt enjoy it much. haha

Here's something to take away. Don't go to Vegas to you are 21 and can experience everything.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow.

Let It Snow - Dean Martin
Oh the weather outside is frightful, oh the fire is so delightful. Haha i love that song. Hehe the snow really makes you get into that christmas feeling. I'm sorry i had to put it on autoplay. I couldn't resist. pardon me. But screw you i like it! =DD

Woke up this morning to find it snowing really heavily. So had a nice breakfast and slacked alot at home. It was really impossible to go out. In the end we couldnt resist going into the snow so we stepped outside the apartment to just play around.

Took some pictures and had quite alot of fun just running around doing stupid stuff like attempting to build a snowman which failed horribly.

Oh and a Rock Band update if i haven't said already: Bought a new drum pedal here so yeah! WE can play again!!!

I'll just leave you with some pictures. I won't expect to be posting until i return to Singapore. I'll be leaving Vancouver for Sunny Singapore. from -10 degrees to 30 degrees. It's about time. I can't wair for the warm heat. lol. So i'll be leaving on the 23rd and arriving on the 23rd midnight.
Anyone wanna go out on the 25th/26th should be able to. I also have to do homework. RawrR! Grrr!

The view from the apartment in the morning. As you can see, the snow has covered everything possible.

How to throw a snow ball. Step 1: Mould and shape. and take your aim.

Step 2: Throw!

Sirong, Si Xuan and Zong Yu

Lol.

Lol. Yet Again.

Yeah. Lying down in the snow. It's just great!

Snow Angels. Or so i was tring to make one.

I told you lying down in the snow was nice.

Zong he and Me

Me, Si Rong and Si Xuan.Zong He

Si Rong puting his face into the snow.The besxt way to experience the snow. Face First.

And I just liked it there. So soft. and i fell asleep? haha. lol.

Yeah. Snow. It tastes...erm...cold.

Zong Yu. What a pose. hahaha

Si Rong and Me.

Si Rong and Zong He.

Lol.

Me, Si Rong ,Si Xuan, Zong Yu, Si Han.

Snow. Snow. Snowboard!

Just uploading some pictures! hehe.

The pictures of me on the snowboards are not on my camera, so it's kinda hard to upload now. so later!

Up on the ski lift, yeah hanging on a chair with no bars going up a mountain...kinda scary.

The view at the end of the intermediate slope. Yep! i made it down! hehe.

Auzzie teacher. He wasnt really that good, didnt teach us much, we learnt more on our own.

Si Rong and me on the Ski lift.

Snowboarding in the SubZero

I just had a really good time snowboarding up on Grouse Mountain just awhile ago. I'm freaking tired right now. Snowboarding was fun man. Spent 2hrs learning and then i kinda got the hang of it after awhile. I mastered the beginners slope and the intermediate slope which was quite crazy. You end up going so crazyily fast it was shit fun!! I'm leaving on the 23rd Singapore time. and will arrive sometime before the 24th but really late i think....
I will post all the pictures soon. The canyons and all.

It was -18 degrees just now and right now it's -6 i think. Freaking cold.

It's Vegas.

I'll be leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning from Seattle. No idea what i'm gonna do there though but i know that we'll be seeing the Grand Canyon.

So the las few days, we've been taking it easy and trying to recover from jetlag. haha.
I caught Prison Break on Fox on Monday. For once i didnt have to watch it online. hahaha.
So 11 of us, my family and my cousins family all came to Seattle and we are crashing at my uncle's place. hahaha.

We haven't done anything very interesting yet except for the visit to the Boeing Factory. Boeing started in Seattle so we took a tour around their factory. The hangars, where the boeing planes were being constructed was the biggest building in the world by volume as claimed by the Guinness World Records. The employees have to go around the building on bicycles. and there's a speed limit on that too. :P hahahaha.

Boeing Factory, in the far centre, you can see a huge weirdly shaped aircraft called the Dream Lifter. Apparently it's used to transport parts of the 787 Dreamliner to the plant here.

This was on the flight to Vancouver. Someone got restless....

Sirong, Me, Zonghe @ my uncle's place. That camera there isn't mine. I ain't so crazy.

Si Xuan, Sirong, Me. @ my uncle's place.

It's Vegas tomorrow and I doubt we will have internet connection. So yeah. No posts for the next 3 days i guess...haha! Till then!

The 1st Hour

Hi!! Just touched down in vancouver intl airport. at the airport now waiting for my uncle. We transitted through korea. Lol flight was damn boring. Kk talk later.

Sunburned.

Had dinner with Edwin yesterday at Plaza Sing. We went to Pastamania, and i can safely say that it was the worst pasta i have tasted in my life. yet. The pizza wasn't that great either. Yuck!
Then we talked and talked and talked and walked and walked. lol and went home. haha.

2 days ago, 11 of us went to Sentosa! Apparently we wanted at least 20-25 people to come. But 11 + Mr Ng was a good number. Just nice, not too much, not too little. We played from like 10.30 to 5pm. Played soccer, frisbee, volleyball and just lay in the sun.

We found a can of Gatsby spray on hair dye and this was the result:

After Sentosa, we went to Vivo to catch Bolt not in 3D. Which wasn't all that great. I mean the only funny character was the Hamster guy and i can't even remember his name. hahaha.
Then had dinner with Clayton and Mervin and followed Mervin to go buy a necklace for his special one. LOL!

The other day I caught Cape No.7 which was some show set in Taiwan in Chinese, hokkien and Japanese. Was a very good movie. Almost cried at one part of the show. It's a romantic drama kind of thing. After that went with Jerald to Gramaphone to buy Jason Mraz's We Sing, WE Dance, We Steal Thing limited edition!!! Mwahahaha!!! It has 3 discs including a live concert which was damn nice.

I will post one more before i leave for the US tomorrow morning.

In This World I'm Building

I'm going to post the Manila pictures another time. I freaking busy!

I'm building the world myself and putting new hats on everybody one by one...
Before I go out, I'm gonna have people in tutus,
Cops wearing stockings,
Stockbrokers wearing viking hats,
Priests wearing penties on their head.

In this world I'm building, everybody shouts hello to everybody else from their windows, from the street, from the car windows.
People have speakers attached to their chests and have music pouring out so you can tell from a distance what mood they are in.
And people won't be a chicken too get naked and dance when the rain comes.

To be continued...hehehe.

P.S It's a celebration of life!

Busy. Busy. Busy

I'm sorry. Been too busy lately to even make a good post, or at least one of acceptable length. haha. I've been editing some photos of the Manila trip and found this to be the best picture so far. or at least the best group photo.'
I boosted or "enriched" the colour detail. haha. I was just experimenting.

Time of Our Lives

I came back from Manila a few days ago with my class. It would be an understatement to say that it was excellent. It was a whole lot better and an experience. It was the time of our lives. yet.
The trip really showed that WE, 3SA were more than just a class. WE are a band of brothers. The trip also really taught me alot. And how lucky we are to be here in Singapore. Where none of us are poor. I'm gonna post in parts. Each part for each day on the tour.

Tomorrow will be my first post. I'm too tired now. Or maybe just lazy. I can't tell.

Manila Vanilla

By the time you read this post. I would be either in Manila or on the plane there. I can't wait. Yet, i'm still a little nervous. 7 days of fun/community service/ class bonding. It's gonna be awesome? i hope so. And i think the experience will be great. I will post pictures when i get back!

In the meantime, just go do something. anything.

A New Target, A New Race Starts

I got my report book back on Saturday. Went to school early in the morning around 8.30am with a few classmates to get ready the car wash equipment. Yep we have to wash cars to raise funds. Also had to set up the booth to sell our t-shirts that has the print "a hand that gives, recieves" and at the bottom "SAINTS" with a hand. lol. Quite nice. Anyone want one? its 20 bucks a piece. I can show you some pictures.haha.

There was a tour briefing and the PTC but my parents didnt want to come. lol. Anyways i got my report book. Although i didnt meet my targets which i had set earlier a few months ago, i think i did fairly well compared to the rest of the level and my class. So stayed in school until around like 7.30pm. Made 751 bucks that day. Wow!

The grade in the bracket was my target. The other is my actual grade. These grades are the overall grade for the whole year.

English: B3 (A1)
Chinese: C5 (C6)
Biology : A1 (A1) yes success!!
Physics : A2 (A1) my final year paper was an A1 but i got pulled down by the 1st semester.
Chemistry : B3 (A2)
A Maths : A1 (A1)
E Maths : A1 (A1)
Comb. H (SS & Hist) : A2 (A2)

L1 R5: 10 (8)
Class position :14/43
Level position :14/197

Although i had aimed to be in the top 10, it was a very close battle and i actually beat some of the top 10 people in L1R5. haha lol. My target for the O's will be simple. 6 pts. Yes, that may sound like a crazy. But i think i'm up for it.

---

Onto a different page. Haha.

I just realized that i need new clothes. Been wearing the same stuff over and over again till some people actually say "haha i knew you'd wear that" and "why you always wear..." you get the picture.

new pair of jeans, preferably slim or skinnies.
new pair of black jeans slim/skinnies
new t-shirts/shirts and berms
new shoes?

I also want to buy Red Alert 3!!! But i have yet to play Spore finish so i guess i'll wait.

I also have yet to play GTA IV finish. hmm.

Leaving for Manila next monday. For 7 days. Can't wait. Also got alot of stuff left to do.

You Win Some, You Lose Some

It's been awhile since the last post. The manila stuff has been taking up a lot of my time. I got my Xbox 360 replaced! Can't wait to start Rock Banding again. I also got no time to Spore. haha

Today's SGCC prize ceremony showed me alot. I was quite emotional when we didn't win. So much hardwork and effort put in and we didn't win anything. But i was very touched by the support of my friends who were there to console me and my teachers too. Showed me that i have great friends and that life isn't all about winning. Although i wish we did win but what the hell. Thanks guys for showing your support and going down to support us! and to all those who voted! I guess sometimes you can't win everything. And when you lose, it's the lesson behind it that counts.

Term break has started. yet we got so much happening. Manila planning and school. Yes, we have to return back to school for one (insert suitable adjective here) week. Yes. And there's Chem class tomorrow. Great! sense the sarcasm.

I won't be getting my report card back until this Satureday. I really hope i can finish in the top 10. Never did it before. Wish and hope i can. It's quite possible and i won't rule that out just yet.

Today was an experience. sometimes you win sometimes you lose. it's all part of the game.

Judgment Day II

Well today was quite a good day. The moment when i picked up my physics paper. I saw an A1 and i wanted to cry. lol. tears of joy. I was really not expecting an A1. I was expecting a B3.
Anyways here's the final tally.

English : B3
Chinese: D7
Comb. Humans : A2
Physics : A1
Biology : A1
Chemistry : B3
A Maths : A1
E Maths : A2

L1 R5 : 10 pts

Although i was aiming for single digit, considering the rest of the class i think i did quite well and beyond my own expectations.

To all those who didnt do as well as me. My close friends, we got to be strong and take this as a opportunity to reflect and so it won't happen again. It may be too late to change the results now. But we can always start now and change the ending. We can work towards our 7 pt target for O's and take this as a lesson. We make these mistakes now so we don't make them again.

Judgement Day I

Chemistry : B3 (missed A2 by 2 marks ahh!)
E Maths : A2
A Maths : A1
Chinese : D7
Biology : A1

Rock Band Hoopla

So exams ended last Friday. Biology paper was alright. After that had our OCIP meeting with Mr. Ng. Edwin and I are heading the trip as head and vice. After meeting went to join Solo, andre, adam, mervin to play pool. Wasn't that fun. Didnt really feel like it was after exams. Sigh.
Then my mum picked me and Edwin up and dropped edwin off at the MRT at bedok. Lol let's fast forward to approx 18 hrs later. The next day

In the morning went to Funaa to checkout some local shops selling Rock Band for the 360.
In the end found a shop selling it for S$385.

1 drum set
2 guitars
1 mic.

It's effing awesome!!! I'm addicted to it already.

Let's fast forward again to today. approx 18 hrs again. Or so i think. Monday was a holiday for our school. But had to go sch with the exco of the trip to start planning stuff. Quite fun and stuff. hehe. After that around 2.30 went to play futsal at east coast. Then after that Solo and adam came over to play rockband!!! YEAH! haha. Anyways, i'm trying to organize a rock band party soon. Can't wait.

Tomorrow have to go school again. And it's gonna be an emotional day for some and a happy day for a few. You that day. It's D-Day. The day where we find out how well/bad we did. A day where we start to reflect on how everything went. What we did and what went wrong/right. I just hope i did well. Actually I already got back my Biology Paper results. I got an A1 and overall for the year of 85%. Let's hope thats a sign of better things to come.

Will post more next time. Later.

It's 3a.m.

It's 3am on a Sunday morning. this is the state of my study table
