Remembering...
Ok, in case you guys are wondering, that freaking short video above was made by me...
So, for all you blog surfers out there, I guess you know my real name...
But that's soooooo beside the point...
Anyway, I realised that usually when I do full self initiated things, like games and some other projects, I usually do it to the best of my abilities. So, I kinda managed to finish that video in one day, dragging it all the way into the night and finishing the final review of the video at about 1am...
It was a dark and stormy night (ok, that isn't true...) I was thinking... thinking that the civics class that I'm in would soon be broken up. Quite a bunch of people are heading across the road, and another major group of people are going to change subject combination such that they would no longer stay in the same class anymore...
As I think more and more of it, I realised that everything with this class will soon be coming to an end...
There is a need to cherish the time we have left together, and also a need to remember all the times we have had last time...
It just so happened that I went to watch the disco video that I made last year, and it gave this sort of push to go and make a video about 07S16 as well... The class that I had been in for the last two months or so...
So, I went to my computer and started making the short video.
I did not really know what came over me, but the video made me work into the night to complete it in that one instance when my feelings for the class is freaking strong...
As I watch the finished video, there was this deep sense of "goodbye" coming over me... It feels quite sad that everything is going to end just like that...
That's when I added in the final few sentences...
I want to thank you guys a lot. Without you guys, I don't think my first two months would be as interesting as what it is now, and thanks to you guys, I realise how it feels to have a class which you like to be in...
And of course, thank yourself, for creating the desire in me to make this video for you guys...
Thank you...
And no matter what happens, I won't forget you guys...

NJ Superstar Event
Happy Chinese New Year everyone !!!
Wow, its time to say good bye to the dog year and say hello to the year of the pig...
A pretty good excuse to fall asleep don't you think?
Yesterday, Pa took part in the chinese new year celebration over at NJC. I was posted over to the LT5 team and was at control working the mixer (the machine that controls all the sounds coming in and going out over to the speakers)
Things were pretty smooth except for two freaking accidents, one which is the singer did not catch the starting of the song, while the second one was the one over the "A Public Affair" song, which became jittery...
Fortunately, quite a bunch of people think that it was done on purpose thanks to the actions of the two people on stage at that point in time.
Phew~ great sigh of relief.
Anyway, just to tell you, the pa people in control was in those sort of "OMG, I can't believe this sort of thing happened" and were promptly cluthcing their head in despair...
Anyway, PA crew for NJ superstar: Jennifer, the listener, Ming Xuan, the HEAD, Xiang Wei and Mervyn, the IP backstages, Siyuan, the super backstager, Zhiping, the sound-controller, and Yuxuan, the expert-but-a-bit-nothing-to-do light controller.
It was quite fun even though we had to stay aleart 100% of the time. During the intervals where someone was singing and there wasn't much going on on stage, we were able to crack a few jokes here and there over in control and talk a bit of our own lives before we had arrived in NJC. It is a great time to interact and talk about things...
Also, I think a lot of people realised that the mixer is the most interesting job, followed by the backstage and then lights. Although lights would become more interesting if there was the intelligent lights (those lights that are super big and look like some sort of rocket). Looks like lots of people would be very interested in the mixer job...
I LOVE THE MIXER!!!

What equates happiness??
Sometimes I wonder to myself why am I always so happy?
Sure, you guys always see me bouncing around and laughing about, making humorous remarks to lighten up the mood if things get even a teeny weeny bit serious. Add an occasional joke here and there, and I think you'll be able to get a perfectly correct mental picture of our dearest author here!!
But looking back at it all, I don't know if in reality I am really that happy...
I mean, I have enough trouble in home. For some stupid "good" results, I need to go and change my college all over again, and at the rate things are being done, it seems as though I had done a great grave mistake and I still need to even prepare a whole speech persuading the point on "why I should stay in the college I am in now??"
Sure, seems like nothing right? Well, it would be nothing, if one of your parents don't spend half his time reminding you that he wants to hear how you are going to persuade him...
If this was the only trouble, I won't be writing.
When I am at home, and even outside, I live in a sort of constant fear that something might have happened at home... For example, mother collapsing thanks to argument from my dad, and even when I am at home, I never know when my dad might just come in, look at what I am doing and coincidentally provoke an argument to seal off my fate for the rest of the day...
Life at home is indeed a challenge beyond proportion...
I look back at it all, and I wonder why am I so happy around other people? Why can I always look at the bright side of life, smile a bit, and move on even when the situation is seriously horrible? Why? When my life is already in constant dread and fear that when I come home one day, some thing might have happened, and there is no way for me to reverse the damage that has been done...
I find myself enjoying the time when I am outside of the house. When I am with my friends or even alone, just admiring the beautiful world outside. It provides a sort of serenity that I find myself able to relax in...
That's why I treasure all my friends so much. Everyone of you out there who I know and treat as a friend, are really really precious to me. Without you guys, I sometimes wonder to myself how could I sustain myself through all these days? From O levels, to the release of results, from sadness to happiness. Entertaining you people, regardless of whether it is a lame joke, a humorous remark or perhaps some other things, and looking at the smile and laughter coming out, and even just plain interaction, talking about everyday stuff and laughing at perhaps some other everyday things, creates a great feeling inside me...
Friends, is something that is priceless, can never be replaced, and will always have a special place in my heart...
I want to thank all of you out there, particularly Disco, 3/4D, the morning canteen group from last time, the 963 crew, 1D(2006) and also my new friends in NJC...
It is you guys, that had knowingly, or unknowingly, brought me through all the days where I am down and out...
I thank you all...

O level results...
I guess some of you might have seen or rather guessed from the previous post comment section...
But in case you hadn't noticed, O level results are officially released...
As of yesterday at 1430hours, the O level results for the 2006 O level exams has been released, along with its usual emotion running high side-effects...
The day started out like any other day at NJ, with about half the class missing in action. (this is supposed to be normal) and after staying in school and stoning and trying to supress our emotions for almost the whole of the day, we finally set off for our old school to pick up our results...
There was a really happy reunion of our class when we were in school, and I realised I miss a lot of the old jokes that we had created... Things like EMSSLSSSSSS and also sending clouds into the air and also not forgetting the absolutely fun and exciting 4A-4D aircon war...
And then, things started beame more tense as the time comes when we finally get to receive our results...
We are receiving the results in the hall, and I was slacking around in the canteen and was one of the last few people who went into the hall to wait. When I got there, my class surrounded me, and I was quite shocked anyway...
The following ensued:
"Hey zhiping, EIGHT A1s!!!!"
"HUH??!?"
"OIE!!, you got 8 A1s la...."
".....??!?"
"Oie, zhiping... WAKE UP WAKE UP!!"
"Should we just taupok him?????"
After which my class people shoved me over to the board which I hadn't noticed which showed the top few results in our school. After finding my names on the list, I promptly went into shock and could only look at the list and stare with my jaws wide-open...
It sounds quite funny putting this down and writing it on paper...
Anyway, I knew something was going to happen when I reached home that night as I would need to start contemplating about the JC that I want to be admitted to. In my own opinion, I want to stay in NJC, not just because a lot of my friends are there, but also because I like the environment there. Somehow, I feel relaxed there and also quite settled in. Also, their studying method there (though some people accuse it as mugging) is the type which I am quite accustomed to and is my preferred style of studying...
Add up and I really want to just stay on, even though my results should qualify me for HC and RJ...
Which equates to arguments at home which resulted in stalemate and isn't over yet...
It gets a bit sad la...
8A1s is supposed to be a very happy thing, and for me, its something that exceeds even my most basic expectaions, but why make it such that I need to make a choice between a better school, and a school which I prefer to be in? Ya sure, I need to make the choice anyway, but it gets real idiotic when we need to do it when I just got back from PA duty at about 11pm and still have to listen to them rant on and on and on until well over 12am before I could finally take a break, a shower and even some of my own private time...
I mean, could I just say wt__?
Anyway, I should be very happy now, what with such a good results, but I am not really happy with how the way the day has ended, with another argument with my parents over the choice of JCs... It gets so IRRITATING, and its going to be so hard to convince them that I should just stay in NJC...
From what I heard, what I had seen, and what I had experienced from the other HCJC people that I had met, I don't think I'll be too happy if I had went over to HC. The moment I received the results, I knew the day won't end as nice as the way the day was half-way through it... ...
But lets end the ranting session for now, there will still be plenty of arguements and plenty of debating over which jc I am going to be admitted to, but I'll most likely be sticking to my choice of NJ... because I feel that is where I should be based on the above reasons which I have given..
Anyway, I need to thank the self-study group that the four of us were part of during the period of time after prelims and before O level. This four people included Yong Hao, Zi Ang, Yuping and me. Not bad, all four of us had improved for our O level results, and I definitely need to thank this group for helping each of us out and getting through O levels.
Of course, we also need to thank garfield, for providing varying amount of destressing materials during this self-study period...
Not forgetting, all the teachers who had taught us and probably gained quite a bit of white hair from trying to teach us and make us learn. Yup!! Without them, I don't think I would be able to get these results for O levels...
And finally, not forgetting, the TYS!! Without these publications, where would all those exercises for O level be??

No matter what happens, just remember that you had done your best, and don't go and kill yourself over it...

...
I'm really sorry about what has happened yesterday... I also don't know what to write here...
It feels a bit... sad to put it all down in words...
Do you like a person because you want to protect the person?
But I think I've sort of made my decision... and all I hope is that everything will work out in the end...
And I hope I can go back to the way I used to protect you...
And still be a good friend..
