- VS Sec 4 Graduation 2007 -

haha wondering y i put dis up rite? well dunno how i got it. was surfin through ppl blog when i stumbled upon dis video of their graduation. DAMN FUNNY i tell u. esp the part dat was copy from mocca advertisement 1.

featured 3 of my teachers when i was sec 4 in VS!
mdm esther teo! the guy in the video used her accent seh not bad somemore.
"thank you for teaching our CRASS."
"BLING your graph paper."
"we sincerely APPLECIATE your efforts."
i tink its 4F 2007 if im not wrong. anyway she still had other catch phrases for my 4C 2006 only!
"EH U ALL LISTEN LEH."
"EEH LOONNN (Eng Loong my classmate who was not listening)."
"remember your HOMEWORKSSSSSS."
"i give u all drop form tell u..."
haha the sweet memories of a chaotic sec3/4 life with her as my E/A Maths teacher

mr thiru! he commanded the SQUAD team. makin us squat beside the dustbin like the video. my class all "the bloody idiots"
"your incredible stupidity appalls me."
"your intelligence is below sea lvl."
"INDIA ROCKS."
v fun teacher but i nv had the potential to do well in hist elec. wasnt made for humanities dis guy bloggin here. thoroughly enjoyed ur lessons though =D still remember all the nicknames he gave some of us.
abduh - curry puff
hwa xiang/conan - bloody malaysian
me - han hong (he cant seem to remember my name)

mrs foo! my class had 2 physics teachers to only 27 students taking physics in sec 4. coz my class 'smart' mah needed 'abit' of help only. other physics teacher is mdm tang who juz rox as well.
den she will always like in the video
"ok anot class? can anot? u sure? confirm ah? can pass physics anot? can go jc anot?"
den she sometimes oso like to shoot ppl like me(monitor) to "clean the board."

ya anyway im not gonna blog bout my current life today gotta prepare for my OP/InR. after dat den come back to present k. anyways i got new goals in life liao.
short-term goal: (bout sailing de)
mid-term goal: (bout NS de)

- M5 - Black Magic -

1st full day trainin since interschool today. broke up with M3 le =P sailed M5 aka Black Magic for the whole day today. sry for those no sailing de but dis post will include alot of technical terms. i try to put in as much in layman terms ok...

start from morning. wind was considerably light coz it rained in the morning b4 we came. den went to rig n found out how heavy M5 was. took damn long to rig up as every1 confirm rusty liao including myself. although when i say i rusty doesnt i mean i forgot how to rig. it juz means i cant rig finish under 15min with all the equipment arnd. open the cabinet to my old VS life jacket to realise it was like shit, literally. think got some kinda infestation of something dunno wad. rats? =X washed it up n din feel like using it for the day. instead used 1 of the newer life jackets which mr aidil brought. felt wierd sailing the whole day without the orange whistle i have in my old VS de jacket. used to fiddle with it if i was bored out at sea.

so wee lee wanted us to get our feel back in the morning. juz sailed n tack lor. alot in fact. he wanted us to do 50 tacks but it was seriously too little in my opinion to get back ur own feel. would take at least 200. either way im tryin a new way of tackin since its obviously more efficient den my current style. my current de is lean with both feet at hiking strap to induce heel of boat for role tack. den sorta jump over n heel to flatten the other side. however, now i wanna try use 1 foot to lean while the other 1 above the hiking strap. dis is to be able to turn it in such a way dat when i move over, the feet is under the hiking strap n i can hike str8 after i go over. ok if its juz too confusing juz ask me lah. u noe im not gd with words.

but den dis post was titled dis way for a reason. coz the morning wind was light n i couldnt feel it. but when uncle tonny trainin came it came to me naturally. i noe y M5 is so gd now. bet u must be tinkin aiya HH say M5 gd tok crap 1 lah. no evidence to support. i got evidence my fren.

morning wind was light so i sailed it like any other of the skool boats. but den wee lee came to my boat while i was goin back to shore during the rain n told me M5 was not performing as well as the other boats n told me to not use it for competitions even though naiyu they all sorta brainwash him into M5 being the best boat of all MJC lasers. den afternoon came. wind was moderate with choppy waves. the moment uncle tonny blew his whistle for us to do pacing practice i felt it str8 away. M5 is retardedly stable (dun even noe the best description for it). it was unlike M1 M3 M4 n M7 which i sailed b4 which gets beaten up v badly in choppy conditions. somehow M5 could go through the waves n there was v little rocking throughout. still dun get it?

black magic was made in europe for the heavier sailors with stronger and more choppy waves dat they have to handle. thus it was a heavier boat made for moderate n strong conditions so dat the waves would not deplete its forward momentum dat easily. however the newer boats were made lighter becoz Asian sailing was coming up. Asia has generally lighter wind compared to the European countries and such a heavy boat would juz suck in light wind. thus in light wind i couldnt feel its hidden potential but flew away in the moderate wind today. tell u honestly i wouldnt have open such a gap if I used M3 honestly coz the bytes we sailed with today have some standard 1 noe. for Laser sailors who still dun believe wad i say, I can let u use M5 in moderate wind n im sure u wanna steal it from me liao. of course i wont let u steal it from me =P a day with it would be fine though. juz dun make another mast crack. den enlarge it by sailing so violently like me today =X

lol today oso 1st sat sea trainin with no dinner! i ask for it somemore. 1 church de go church. family orientated de go home eat. so obvious i family-oriented oso rite but my parents lemme go eat with them since we have dinner 6 times a week n with J2s only once. its not everyday u get to hang out with a great bunch of seniors u noe. the J2s 1st 2 sea trainings always complainin y i nv go eat dinner with them. so i decided to join them for every dinner since my 3rd sea trainin in MJC. looks like no more dinners liao. so come back n sail with us soon!

got dis feelin i like bonded so much more to J2s den J1s since I was the only J1 stickin arnd to them almost throughout my whole 1st yr sailing in MJC. but i must admit i learnt alot from them throughout dis time n alot of nonsense which i dunno of at dinner. used to enjoyed myself chattin with them n reachin home bout 9pm den go slp str8 away.

alot of things comin up recently so bz for dunno wad again even though its not bout studies. haiz see how it goes lor...

- KATZE -

haha for those who dun really noe japanese it means WIN. yes i feel like i won. coz the WR compilier (yours sincerely) has completed the FINAL copy of my group's WR. dun even wanna call it final draft coz i believe can hand in le. yes lah nv feel so happy b4 dis whole yr! even noe-ing i wont retain oso not so happy. at dat time i was juz feeling nothing. now im a whole new person!

when i completed the final word count at 3197, i felt like shouting YES AH!!! but cannot u noe y? coz it was 5am. haha no i din wake up early to do it b4 goin to skool. fact is i din sleep the whole nite! some of u will be tinkin wa u crazy boy spend so long doin WR. juz finish it n sleep lah. well its dat kinda attitude dat wont get u anywhere. i wan to get my WR to an A so much i aim str8 for near perfection k. there might still be minor changes today after i get it back but wth i dun care alrdy. at least the hard part is done. 40% of PW in the bag, well at least dats wad i feel wad me n my group deserve (dun we?)

ya so i din go to skool today. slept from 6am-12pm n took a well deserved break from all the late nite chionging of WR (did stay up till 2+am a few times for WR drafts oso). juz glad its all over. hope wad Ben compiled for OP would be of some sorta quality. not gonna compile for OP le after the nightmare i had for WR. well but if Ben is not gonna put in the effort, den im sry we not gonna do well for OP. actually compile for slides easier den document i feel. we see how it goes lor. if he juz gonna cut n paste our sections n tell me dats wad he got, den any1 can do it lah.

so trainin starts again dis sat. gonna break up with..... M3 lah n sail M5(aka Black Magic). trainin will be full day again but without the j2s lor. gonna be them next yr. so work hard for A lvls ba n come back to sail with us after dat.

for now lemme continue slackin for the rest of the day with no worries of WR anymore. unless u tell me the documents in all our computers and thumbdrives deleted liao. touch wood! =P

- No SPA-sm But Project Work-ed Up -

for those who dun take science SPA is science practical assessment. SPA-sm was a lame joke made up by my freakin lame physics tutor mr tan. coz got a point of time in the yr we were like studyin for our SPA 24/7. he scared we fall ill n get SPA-sm =X he got better face to tell lame jokes coz he literally stuns u with his 'jokes'.

anyway PW is really a pain in the __ (wadeva u feel fits here). dun u share the same sentiments as me? my comments dat i got were like so 'helpful'. tutor sometimes (din use extreme terms like ALWAYS) contradicts her own comments. seems like my group WR change a few times due to mainly difference in ideas. well she suggested them now makes it looks as if my group nv put in the effort liddat =P den when we make our own she say ours will confuse ppl. even im confused now lah hor wish PW was over long ago.

decided to not go apply for OGL next yr le. coz if u wan be OGL might as be SLO (student liasion officer) for Pre-U Sem 2008. i wont have time. for those who din noe MJC will be hosting Pre-U Sem 2008 next yr n a pre-requisite to be an SLO is to be an OGL next yr. but den if i go be SLO so bz throughout 1st half of J2. where got time to train n do other stuff? if u ask me, winning RJC more impt den having a nicer testi OOPS said the name of the skool. i dun care liao haha. like they dunno we aiming them liddat.

been tinkin recently oso. if VJC not gonna take my fellow VS Sailing juniors which they usually do cept for dis guy's blog u readin now, who they gonna take in next yr to RETAIN their title?see how next yr.

which brings me to my next point. recently the tutors juz love to use dis highly sensitive R word in lessons. heres 1 b4 the open house.

"all CCA/cg booths r to ensure their booths are of acceptable standard if not u will be asked to RETAIN in skool to complete it."

sounds wierd rite? like they wanna purposely use it to ji xiao us liddat. heres another 1 during physics lecture today.

"we have got the physics holiday revision package prepared at the photocopy shop. physics rep plz collect for ur class"
*all j1s start to moan*
"we have ur interests at heart ok. dis is to help u RETAIN ur knowledge for the test at the start of next yr."

like the tutors dunno dis skool is super duper sensitive to dis word as it sparks of ppl's imagination to somewhere they would like to study for 3 yrs hmm...

anyway speakin to physics lecture, got back my last result le. got n S for physics. crap was expecting bout D or something there but improved from a U in midyrs so got something to rejoice ba.

dun tink i will retain le ba. wun so suay rite? if got overall most improved in cg would i get it? show u my grade in midyrs n now. plz dun tink my results r gd. coz i noe of ppl with few A n B de. IMBA!

Midyrs-DSSUUU
Promos-BCCCSU

shot myself up from the horrendous 3U2S to now. ok lah now can say i feel better since im quite sure i wont retain unless i so suay? nono wont de. seems like the late nite muggin in VS with the rest paid off alot. glad promos ended well for me. time to pursue other interests now though... gogogo...

- The Last One To Decide My Fate -

nv blog for v long but was on purpose de. din feel like doin anything after promos n din wan to comment bout whether i will retain or promote since its all decided the moment the invigilator says "time's up plz stop writing." even with dis feeling of nothingness/emptyness i keep tinking bout wad will happen next yr.

sometimes i tink bout wad life will be like when i retain. goin to the same class as my juniors who r coming mjc? representing mjc in sailing for 3 yrs? not dat i wan but it keeps poppin up in my mind unknowningly. but anyways been gettin back promos results liao n only 1 subject haven take which is physics to decide my fate although i have confidence i will pass it. y do i say dis?

coz i got a U for my econs le. studied the most i could for every subject but put in dat little more effort for econs since it was my weakest subject. thought a S for econs would be gd since i felt my essay was ok n my case studies usually borderline fail. unexpected U but got something to be happy bout though.

got 18% for mid yrs in econs. yes dat was how hopeless i was. i mean other ppl din even have to study n can get at least 20+% rite? well it was gg for me as i really studied for it n still got such crappy marks. my tutor kept askin me whether i got study anot n i couldnt out-talk since she only sees results as proof of my efforts. next time should go study in front of her hor. =S

so guess wad? i got 32% dis time! still a U but a much better 1 den midyrs. however a U is still a U. gotta hope the lvl doesnt do so well so i can get advance promote. if u look at my other subjects u would tink i sure promote liao. not gonna say my results for my other papers though =D

so now we all workin on our PW full time liao. juz handed in or sent in my WR draft 3 rather, to the bori..BRILLIANT gp/pw tutor of mine dis morning. gotta be honest i nv stay up so late juz for work b4. for play i can dun slp at all ^^ only had 2+hours of slp so u do the maths n see wad time i slp lah hor (i v bad rite promos over le still make u do maths =P)

got a new long term goal along with my cousin in the future. not gonna say it here oso. most of u will go like "SIAO ah HH. crazy boy go sail ur M5 lah." o did i mention i suppose to change boat so im using M5 aka Black Magic now. haven used it once b4 though but heard from seniors its super when u go patch up the hole at the mast hole. k sry sailing technicals again so shall stop here.

still searching for my life. dun feel like i have 1 yet. however i tink im gonna find it in the upcoming hols again. for now i shall go get some shut eye after a long nite of work. bb XD
