YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I got back home just half an hour ago.
After doing school service, OM wanted to treat us to BOTAK JONES.
But apparently he thought that it was still located behind our school, and didn't knew it moved to somewhere further down in AMK.
So in the end the 6 of us, OM, Mr Wong, Raymond, NCK, WaiKuong, and me went to the air conditioned kopitiam to eat. He was generous, giving us 50 bucks to order what we want, and then told us to return the remainder to him.
So we went to the Indian stall, me and NCK ordered nasi briyani, while Raymond and WaiKuong had rice with curry chicken, egg and sambal chicken.
OM was nice to order drinks for us and he and Mr Wong sat around for a while, and eventually left.
He said we are good eaters. I think he wanted to run away because we had spent 21 bucks, and it seems that we could still eat more.
A funny thing happened while we were moving the tables from the art room to the hall. Halfway, Mr Chandra saw us and although I am scared that he might eat me up, I managed to wave my hand.
He called my name and beckoned me to go over.
Chandra: Hey are you from NPCC?
Me: Err no I am from basketball.
Chandra: Oh... are you helping them? (pointing to NCK and WaiKuong who are moving the tables up and down the stairs)
Me: No, we kena school service.
Chandra: (gives a shocked impression and starts to frown) What have you all done?
Me: (started to tremble) Err we broke window.
Chandra: Which window?
Me: You know, at the CCA rooms outside? We broke the NPCC window.
Chandra: (looks abit blur and and asked where we played)
Me: (repeated the answer again)
Chandra: o.O Did you all break a lot of windows?
Me: no only 1 piece
Chandra: How long did you all need to do?
Me: 20 hours
Chandra: WAHAHA so many hours! That window must be damn expensive right? (after saying he flashed another trademark smile)
Me: (heaved a sigh of relief and gei gei laugh a bit)
After that we bid farewell and he went into the computer lab for the MLG training, and I went to the art room to carry more tables.
The chat wasn't really funny, but I really peed in my pants when he frowned and became "serious".
I thought he was going to scold and trash me like there's no tomorrow. Luckily he didn't.
I think he really blended with our class. I think he really likes us. Especially me. He can joke with us, be serious with us, and get pissed off with us for a short time, before reverting to normal. I think he has split personalities.
Don't get the wrong idea, he's one of the best teachers we have and I totally respect him. I think he's one of the teachers whom I will miss when I graduate. Hopefully by this year.
Luckily he stays in Sembawang and I can visit him whenever I want to.
Maybe he can come and look for me sometime, but I really don't want him to come just to ask me to hand in my biology file.

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am currently a bit disturbed right now.
No its not about foot binding. I don't get freaked out so easily.
Anyway hopefully things change for the better, especially for his brother.
Don't ask me why, because its confidential.
Saddening to see people throwing their lives away.
Hopefully everything would be alright.
--------------------------------
Okay I am done with the serious part.
Anyway yesterday went to chapel to look for OM to do our school service. In the end we were told to sit around and wait for the people to take their results, then after that we would need to clear up the rubbish and move the tables back to the hall.
Then I saw Mr Chandra, and being a nice guy (as always) I waved at him and he flashed one of his trademark smile. Then he walk towards me and we sort of talked.
But the problem is NCK and WaiKuong were beside me. They sprouted lots of nonsense, like me surely getting A1 for biology, and all those stuff you would do to severely sabo a friend.
Chandra: gives the *WOW I am impressed* look. I am going to push you hard, Terence!
Me: Omfg.
Just then WaiKuong interrupted and said that I wanted to be the biology rep.
Me: gives the *Holy shit I think I gonna get owned* look.
Then,the 黑色死神 laughs loudly and walk away, having identified his prey.
I hope he don't remember what happened!
Anyway after that we did our school service. The OM said that he would count from the time we sat in the chapel. Thats about 2pm. We started work at 4pm, like moving the tables and chairs, clearing rubbish, and finished at 4.40pm. Apparently he rounded it off to 5pm and we "did" 3 hours of school service.
Nice guy isn't he?
Today we did school service too. This time it was more strenuous, tiring, and dirtier. The highlight is that we successfully carried a cabinet to the 4th floor. And the OM is very kind to treat us to drinks. 2 times in fact! This time we did about 5 hours of school service. 2pm - 7pm. OM was so pleased that he promised to bring us to BOTAK JONES to eat.
I never heard of it before but apparently they said it was nice. I think its something like Marion Jones shaving off all her hair. Hmm
I never knew the school had so many "secret rooms". Today we went into the most unaccessible places, some of which completely surprised us, as we did not know that some areas were actually the cleaner's lounge, storeroom, and hello-kitty hiding place.
Wonderful isn't it? I feel like I am in Hogwarts.
Once me and Raymond were ordered to carry some chairs to the DnT block. Halfway there, we were talking about it being eerie and all. Then we started to freak ourselves out. After putting the chairs near the stairs and walking a few steps, I told Raymond.
"EH WE RUN LA QUICKLY ZHAO!" Then in a matter of seconds me and Raymond were running like hell.
Call us cowards, scaredy cats or whatever you want. I swear you would have run if you were there. The whole place is so quiet. I would rather it to be noisy than quiet.
After all school service isn't that bad, is it? Full of excitement!

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I have news to announce here.
I have officially tio-ed school service.
Most of you guys should be crying after reading this, if not you are really too cruel.
This is my first time getting school service. I am worried but also excited at the same time.
Excited because I think its really fun to kena school service than to sit in the DC room and rot. Worried because its just before the common test and I won't be able to revise my work.
And its freaking 20 hours.
We were passing the ball around, me, nck, waikuong, hongkiat, xavier and raymond. Then suddenly raymond went berserk and tried to smash the ball at waikuong. Unfortunately waikuong dodged and the ball went crashing into a window pane of the NPCC room.
And the NPCC people happened to walk into the area and saw the broken window pane, with raymond standing beside it, still stunned. Me and nck managed to sneak away while raymond and wk were told to see the OM.
Then the NPCC sir saw us and told us to bring the ball to the OM. We brought, and watch raymond and wk kena slaughtered by OM. Then after lecturing them he turned around and saw us.
"Wah you all also ah?" he said in disbelieve.
Then our EZlink card kena confiscated. Sigh.
Luckily hongkiat and xavier did not come. If not they also kena.
As they said, 一个人死，好过两个人死 . For our case its 四个人死，好过六个人死 .
So during the next few days you might see me moving furniture, clearing stuff in NPCC room, and maybe even licking the boots of the cadets.
Sigh tough life.

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Wow I think its been a long time since I last blogged.
Seriously there is a lot of work to do and I cannot afford to waste my time typing out a post.
I haven't done Mr Tan's maths homework because those A4 size books are not in stock for the past week. I am planning to chiong every maths homework he gave us on this weekend.
That is, provided that I feel like chionging.
For the past 2 weeks ZhiKai and me have been going to TBT's house to "do project". We really did project, just that the time we played is more.
And btw, I think there is finally class tee for 3/4GRACE. Not exactly a tee shirt, but a class jersey. COOL MAN. Imagine playing football with it. WOOT
The good thing is that it would only cost 15 bucks or so. Cheaper compared to other classes ;)
Anyway I will be ending here because I still have a lot of shit to do

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I suddenly like to go to school.
I no longer dread going to school and instead I look forward to school everyday.
IT IS FUN MAN!
And the remarkable thing is that playing football is not the reason.
Since this year is the O levels I think everyone has cut down on playing after school.
It is a funny feeling. I have been going to school since I was 4 and I never felt like this before. I thought school was a place to sample canteen food, play football, and crap around during lessons.
By the way I never dozed off in school since the start of this year. Not even in Mr Tan's class.
The only exception that I rested my eyes, is during yesterday's assembly. I was sitting near the stairs and I didn't got caught :P
I got woken up by Chun Kiat halfway because he told me excitedly that Mrs C.Tan was on stage crying while showing the kid from Africa lying sickly on the ground.
I am excited right now. Now I have to wait for the crucial person to come online.
Anyway I asked Tian Wei for dining etiquette since I could only ask from my class. But she want act high class and say she want to consider. Hmpft.
Just joking la.
I think we will looking like brother and sister.
Worst come worst I go with Zhi Kai lo lalalalala. Unless he got partner liao.

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I am typing with difficulty because I cut my thumb while trying to shave my mustache. I tried to wash the razor by brushing my thumb across it.
When I realised that I had cut myself there was already a flap of skin hanging from my thumb.
I know I am an idiot but don't laugh at me. (Even though I can imagine you all laughing right now)
Anyway I went to my Grandparents' house just now. Just when I was leaving the lift, I saw my neighbour, the uncle living under my Grandparents'. He diao-ed me as I left the lift, and I stared at him too.
When I was still living at my Grandparents' house, being little children, my bro and I will run around the house and make a lot of noise. And everytime we made a noise, "the uncle downstairs" will call and tell our grandparents to keep us quiet.
This happened a lot of times and apparently my Grandparents are a bit fed up, and once I heard my Grandfather scolded vulgarities at him. I thought it was funny and went on repeating it.
After a few days, he called again. This time, I picked up the phone. Then I used all my might and shouted, !@#$%^&* into the phone, trying to act like my Grandfather. He went silent for a few seconds, and hung the phone.
My Grandfather was astonished with what I did. He cheered and told me I did a good job. I felt like a hero.
Some time after the incident, he called again. This time, my bro answered the call and did the same thing. Unfortunately, "the uncle downstairs" was prepared and scolded vulgarities back. This time, it was my bro who was shocked for words.
Tough luck. 有些事情是看脸的.
I think my Grandparents never spoke to him ever since. Before we were born, they were good friends. Now they don't speak to each other.
I remember once, we were together in the lift. I was with my Grandfather, and unfortunately he managed to enter the lift even though we furiously pressed the "close door" button. I think he was about to smile and say thank you before he realised it was us "helping" him. The lift was eerily quiet and I was clutching onto my Grandfather's pants.
Anyway when "the uncle downstairs" diao-ed at me just now, I managed to force out a little smile. I think he was a bit surprised.
I think he was shocked that I am now tall, cute, and handsome. HEH
P.S Hey guys I know school has reopen but please be generous with the tags. No matter who you are, just leave a tag because the tagboard is dying.

YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This morning I walked into the school canteen full of anticipation.
I thought that the "standard" of food would be much higher, since anyone was able to bid for a place. I thought our school canteen will at least have kopitiam standard.
After taking the first bite of the "Chicken Chop with Brown Sauce", I almost had a fit.
Put simply, the food was horrible, expensive, and little.
The food was in very small portions. So small that I think that is the size of my afternoon snack.
Walao I swear I will not eat stall no.2 aka International Cuisine again.
The chicken is very tough. Together with the mashed potato sauce, it is inedible.
The "Noodle Stall" is not bad, but the quantity is very very very little.
One plate of rice/noodles costs an average of 2 bucks.
I remembered before school starts, Mum asked me if I wanted to have lunch at home. I actually REJECTED her kind offer and said I want to eat at school everyday.
I can't believe that I actually said that. My stomach is growling now as I type this post.
But its not too late. I think Mum will cook my share if I asked her to.
But another problem is that I need to reach home fast, and I don't want to do that because I want to play football after school.
DILEMMA!
P.S This post is a whiny post but I think I need to complain because food is a very important part of my life, and I love to eat.
