i tried for some time to put God in, but i couldn't craft it to fit. hmm, maybe the material things in life just have to come second to what's more important.. our spiritual PhD. hard to get, requires sheer sweat, but pays off beyond a lifetime.

its 3.45am now.. listening to john mayor... hmm he's good. everyone's asleep and it's really silent, except for the music from my com. sometimes we take the quiet serenity for granted. deafening silence? silence is soothing. i'm being random abt this post here. though there's much to blog about dennis' birthday on friday. probably the most memorable, details - maybe another day. can't be bothered.

mega praise, like 6hrs ago, was awesome. God was there.. i was there.. He is here now.. i'm here now, in my room that is. He's omni-present. i love the fact that he's ever present.

lol, its 4 now, and i've only typed so little. casting crowns playing now. lol kinda thing they took after casting crows, and made it crowns to play their christian music.. not much to do.. wait ain't supposed to be like sleeping.. mock exams coming up, with the mid-years for chinese.. should i study or sleep - sleep. good night, morning actually.

on more current issues.. the campfire finally came and gone.. great relief, to tell the truth. i was afraid the lack in man-power and commitment would have resulted in the campfire becoming a failure. it almost became one actually. certain things were really last minute, like programme, souvenirs. help from ALs was really crucial this time round.

and yes i really have to thank God for the weather. it was raining really hard the entire week leading to the 9th of april.. was really glad that God responded to my prayers throughout the week, and cleared the skies after 3pm on sat. its was really Him that made it possible for everything to proceed smoothly. it would have been logistical mayhem if it had rained, but thank God - really.

the friday night i was also happy that everyone got things done rather quickly, the gateway was up by 11.30pm. the putting up of canvas was rather tedious, but it was done by 2 plus. waited for wayne to be back from supper, and tested out the lighting until 3.30am.. before finally clearing things up and getting some sleep at 4am.. quite good considering last year, we did the gateway until the next morning. this time we were blessed with 4hrs of sleep :) must say that our gateway though simple, was presentable - or the ALs seemed to have no problems with it (which is a good sign).

the few hours before the campfire, was rather hectic. thanks to john cheah who took like how long to get dinner for the sec2s... who were supposed to be urshering.. in the end we had to mobilize the sec3s for ushering and sec4s for gate-keeping - oh went well though.. everything was set, and schools were led in at 7.30.. gosh the campfire was damn long la, 3hrs, ended at 10.30.. before the schools got down to have their refreshments. the fire was really scary, a certain AL made the call for the dumping of all the firewood, so like halfway into the campfire, the fire was already dying.. ya - kinda embarrasing. i really think 150 pieces ain't enough, but oh well.. clean up next.. chop chop everything was done in 2 hours, got to sleep at 3am.. chao shiok - sats from now on will be free.. oh but still have to clear my 1st class and CCA..

oh, abt the arrow yell by the old boys. yes it was solid, yes it was crisp. i saw it, i heard it, i was stunned. they unison they exemplified, the pride they exhibited, was really remarkable. and i do feel ashamed, regretful, that the arrow yell the scouts did was really crap, and as the TL it was a strange feeling of failure. they were outstanding. we were so different from them. why? would be the question. from the same troop, but so different inside. we were a selfish bunch, they were a dignified group. we didn't make the mark as arrow scouts.

but thinking again, really, i believe that if we were back in that era, where school was fun and life was good. when hw wasn't an issue, and after school meant soccer, we would be better able to put in that extra effort in the troop. and where the seniors then were domineering figures who exercised strict discipline and conduct, bringing the scouts up with pride in what they do, the brotherhood they shared. i'm afraid its lost, degenerating as every batch passes out. its sad, it must be disappointing also for the old boys who were there seeing us doing our miserable arrow yell. it must have hurt them so bad, that they felt the need to give a glimpse of how it was like then..

okay been quite some time since an update, just couldn't be bothered.. but i'm here yet again, anyway. now where do we begin.. april fools lar..

haha they day before april 1st, dennis was like msging everyone, and i was passing the msg ard on msn.. to get everyone to bring their khaki shorts on april fools.. read dennis' msg and was like laughing like crazy.. got me into the mood of april fools.. past april fools haven't been memorable, quite weird considering we were victorians - where i would like to think craziness as our forte. alright it was a friday and first up was PE where we ran the trial for 2.4..yadayada.

as usual they dismissed us after the run, giving us ample time to shake off the lactic build-up. got kinda bored in class, so i thought and told clarence my idea to shift the metal cupboard to block the entrance. 4Ds damn nerd one la, or rather most of them - top class, what to do.. haiz. in the end, i and clarence and couple of the more fun-loving ppl shifted the hefty piece of shit to the front door, with the rest of the class saying we are nuts - obviously they thought it was something, oh well. terence, got quite worked up.. monitors haiz. okay so wong lee meng came walking in... opened the door, to find the metal cupboard obstructing, the words 'April Fools Day' written by Chris, glaring at her.. damn funny lar, even she laughed la..

4F quite cool also lar, they switched the orientation of their class, turned all the tables and chairs to a different direction, switched the teacher's table to the other end and all. lol their Mrs pei, got a shocked and was quite pissed cos she wasn't in the mood...

lol dennis and lionel, jokers go wear their khaki shorts throughout the day.. i too hum to wear mine, cos i would be the only one in my class wearing it la.. and you know la.. the teachers think i'm a good boy la..

heard ernest from 4A got raped by a bunch of.. rapers. words has it that it was damn serious, kena ganged until his dick got exposed, damn fierce - moreover it was for no apparent reason, haha now that's funny.. someone said 4i and 4H did something also la, but their classes on 6th floor so dun really know..

okay so after recess, i was like brainstorming for something to do before the teachers came la.. somehow most of the things that came to mind would get me suspended, so couldn't use them.. then the idea of switching classes came, so i ran over to 4F, told dennis to rally his class over to mine.. their class damn on's, evacuate damn fast, my blardie class i need to shout at them how many times then they slowly move out, damn lame - bunch of good boys. okay lar they got settled down in like 2 mins.. just before the teachers came, thought mrs pei saw.. and then dennis was like asking her to let us have this one.. she obliged.. 4F again turned all the desks and chairs 90 degrees left..

okay, so as we have like 6 periods of maths on fridays, lee meng came walking and was like super stunned. haha the way 4F greeted her damn funny... at 4F's class where 4D was, mrs sito came in, give that siah lan face, in a defeated voice, ' fine i shall not teach'. erm, for one thing, we dun take her lessons, so we seriously weren't bothered.. like duh.
