The DarkJohn Is Rising...
 The holidays are here liao. But sec 3s have an Extended Instructional Programme, meaning 2 extra weeks of school for us. 'O' levels next year will be brought forward even earlier, so I suppose this will be beneficiary.
Got back our report books yesterday. Heard that everyone was able to promote to 4E2 next year. It's great if that is true.
Then, there was the impromptu class outing yesterday, decided during chinese lesson. This time, almost half the class made it. Met at Cineleisure, then headed to the Kopitiam nearby for dinner. Ate until 9pm, then we went up to the arcade. Ever since the last outing, we were like addicted to the hockey game. We changed the 17 bucks worth of ticket change to tokens and played all the way to 9.50pm, lol
We watched 'The Seeker', which was pretty much a lame show with a very predictable ending. Rating? 2/5.
It was almost 12am when we reached the MRT station. Saw the display stating that the last train would be leaving in 2 minutes, so we chiong-ed all the way down to the platform :D Got off at AMK and took taxi back to Hougang with James, Ignatius and Chong Jun.Labels: class outing, school holidays

IC please
Right, I'm finally back to blogging. Its been more than a month already. Time sure flies huh.
The EYEs are over. Band resumes next wednesday. I miss playing my horn, but I guess I can wait for the practice. The past few weeks were bliss, apart from the exams of course. The days were spent at home lazing around, cause nobody wanted to go out. Someone organize something please, there are still two more days.
Had a class gathering yesterday. Truth to be told, you can't really call it a gathering. Only 9 people went. Not like the rest knew about it anyway, haha. So, we met at Bugis MRT at 6pm. We wanted to watch Resident Evil. Everyone knows its NC16, but we tried anyway. Then the cashier person wanted to see all our faces. When Louis stood infront... you all should know what happened right, lol.
Ate at PastaMania before going back to try again. But the cashier person was still the same. Took the train to Orchard to try at Lido. We got turned away. Decided to walk to Cineleisure. Failed again. The person who created the saying "Third time's the charm" should be condemned. xD
We watched Voice of a Murderer in the end. The movie ended at around 12am, so shared cab home with Jun Jie and James.Labels: class outing

Zwei
Great start for a holiday!
Teacher's day celebration yesterday. It started with Aces Day workout. Not much of a annual thing for us. Technically, ours should be 'Aces Days', since we do the mass workout twice a week.
Later, we went up to the hall for the second part of the celebration. First up was the award presentation ceremony for those who excelled in their exams the previous year. Then, there were some singing, by both students and the teachers. Quite meaningful la. The celebrations ended with a cake cutting ceremony, and a mass singing of You Raise Me Up.
Ate at McDonald's with some people before going to Punggol CC for soccer. Played all the way to 1.45pm. Then, walked back to the junior school with Terence, Aaron, Gerald, and Kenneth. The security was still as annoying as ever. Heard that they even quarreled with Daren and wanted him out of the school. Greeted Mr. James Chng aka. Sir with Aaron, then hung around for awhile. I went back first to prepare for the class outing.
Went to meet Terence at Hougang MRT at 4.45pm. He overslept, so we were late to meet the others. Arrived at City Hall and went to Marina Square. Spent another 15 minutes trying to find Seoul Garden, but turns out it was at the entrance where we came from, lol. Ate from 6 to 7.45pm. Jun Jie eat damn a lotlong man. Appetizer for 1/2 hour, main course for 1 hour 15 minutes, haha. And all of us were very lame, especially Terence. Fried egg, took the sashimi and prawn from the sushi to cook, and a lot of stupid stuff la. Some of us went outside to do pumping in the middle of our meal some more.
After eating, went up to GV Marina with Chong Jun to check out the show times. Since the earliest was Evan Almighty at 9.05pm, we watched that. Bought the tickets for them first and went back to meet them. Went to the science booths in the center to waste time. Spent most of the time playing with some electrostatic thingy. Think it's called a Wimshurst machine
'The working principle of the machine is that as the two counter-rotating disks made of insulating material porting metal sectors pass one another in front of the crossed metal bars with brushes, or neutralizers, they induce a charge imbalance on one another, with a positive feedback effect that increases the charges exponentially until ionization of the air and sparking limit the charge concentration. The generated charges are then partially drained off at the collecting electrodes, which consist of combs of sharp metal points mounted on horseshoe-shaped conductors, placed at a small distance from the surfaces of the disks, without touching them, at the sides of the machine.'
Fine, I don't understand. But we had fun playing with it anyway. Turns the discs and somehow, static electric was produced. Then we like like transmitting it around through our fingers. (See picture below). And then we can feel this tingling sensation, lol.
The movie was funny, as expected. An ok movie overall.
Today's my 1 year anniversary at SSW. Actually, it's suppose to be tomorrow, but its a Sunday. Woke up early, and was damn tired since I came home and slept late last night. For today's rehersal, we worked on the first movement of Deux Movements. Then, we sight-read Vivaldi's Piccolo Concerto in C Major a few times. Finally, we ran through the second movement of Third Symphony before calling it a day.

Money woes
Splurged a lot recently. I spent $100+ in like 4 days, haha. It's money I've been saving for a new phone some more, T_T.
- Paid $50 for band uniform (Friday)
- Ate at KFC (Saturday)
- Bought some stuff at Popular (Saturday)
- YCK concert ( Saturday)
- Ate at the food court in Raffles City (Saturday)
- Bought a lot of food in SCC's cafeteria (Sunday)
- Went to LJS for early dinner (Sunday)
And today, school ended at 1pm cause of the 'O' level Mother Tongue Listening Compre exam. Went to AMK Hub with some of my classmates to catch a movie. But they wanted Transformers, so I watched Harry Potter with Joshua, Gerald, James and Jia Wei instead. As with all other HP movies, they cut out a lot of parts lah. I think those who don't read the book won't understand some things. So we walked around while waiting for the others to end their movie. Saw Gladys (P. High) and Fyon (Whitley). There was a lot of students there also. I guess AMK Hub is quite appealing since it's the newest mall around. Around 45 minutes later, they came out of the cinema. They didn't want to eat, so we just went home.
Now I'm quite broke, zzz.Labels: class outing

S3E2 (+ one 3E1 and one 3E5)'s class BBQ
Yesterday's class barbecue was great. Since it just popped up all of a sudden, only around 15 people turned up. Nevertheless, it was good fun. Thanks guys! (and in Mrs. Lee's case, lady)
So at 6.30pm, my parents went to pick up Alif, then Terence and Jun Jie and drove us to East Coast Park. Being the first to reach there, we cleaned the table and lay down all the stuff. Ivan and gang arrived with the charcoal awhile later. Then we started off with the BBQ.
Right, just a brief introduction. I'll let let the pictures do the rest of the talking...

 Attempt at artistic shot 1  Attempt at artistic shot 2 Cleared up everything, and by 12.20am, we were at outside ECP waiting for taxi(s). I shared a cab with Gerald, Alif and Melvin back since we lived relatively near each other. Melvin got off first, followed by Alif, and then us twins. That reminds me. Better collect money back from them on Monday. Alif, you still owe me 6 bucks more!
