Blocks are teh secks.
Yes! It's 1 more day left! For PCME people that is. 2 for those arts and bio people. And with much uncertainty over our results, I say we have training this Saturday! Because obviously, whether you're getting Us or inverted Us with dashes in them, bowling is the best way to celebrate/destress. Hence I am here pressuring our captain and vice captains to make sure there's training this Saturday. WHO'S WITH MEEEEEEEEE.
bowling montage
hey guys
just want to share with you all a very inspirational video i came across. some of you may have already seen it but for those who havent, here goes.
life presents us with many situations but all you got to keep is faith and determination and nothing seems impossible.

first and last-
eh people stop posting emo posts or i'll cry-
sounds like a very late (or too late) time to be posting my first post on this blog but better late than never-
hahaa ok to get serious. i know this has been repeated over and over but WE'RE REALLY SORRY for making all the juniors share one room. when we heard you guys do things like mugging/playing mahjong to skip sleep and see things like ruixian sleeping on the chair of the daytona machine, we really felt quite paisehh. on top of that THANKS LOADS to all juniors for the bib, the bear, the report card and the laminated montage. don't know what we did to deserve such good juniors but THANKS THANKS THANKS nonetheless j1s.
to the j2s-
i know i've said this on my blog but i'll repeat this anytime-
gwenma, yinghao and mum: thanks for being great great great capt. and vice-capts. i noe i niao and make fun of you all alot but really really, you all were the best. really. i said this to donald last night, but i guess i would post it here - you guys made us 心服口服 that you are the deserved captain.
chongchen: thanks for being a professional loan shark, the most patient one i can find, one who doesn't splash paint on your door even if you are late in paying training fees. and for being there when i wana talk =D
i'll never forget the nightwalk last chalet when yinghao, you and me talked about everything under the sky.
adriel: thanks for being the big cuddly teammate whom i can hug whenever i need one. thanks for the note during a'divs. really touched me. been great being in the same team as you (and being as loud as you) during a'divs. i'll never forget the experience. don't look so angry when you miss spares ok, angry bears don't look friendly =)
donald: look i put your name in pink! am i nice or what =) ohkayy thanks for that you've done, even though not in the exco, for sourcing for printing companies for club tee, for sourcing for team pants and stuff. alot of things to say but just nothing comes to my mind now, but thanks for everything, stay pretty always yeah :P
jansen: your name's in red to remind you of your powerkoil =D thanks loads for always bowling with me during training, for all the fun we had, and just being cute and funny. had a really great time bowling & fooling around with you. although we didn't have the chance to be doubles partner during a'divs, still thanks for everything and all the smiles you've brought to the team.
yantian: hahaa sleepyhead. thanks for being my travelling partner, taking bus and mrt with me to & from training every week. thanks for making me a more patient person with the waiting at the bus stop (i'm not niao-ing) and for all the fun (and funny) moments you've brought throughout the past year and just tolerating when my tempers flare.
ohkayy ohkayy i know i'm being irritating with this super long post, but i just wanna type this again-
GWEN GOH, SHERMAINE, YANTIAN, YINGHAO, CHONGCHEN, DONALD, ADRIEL, JANSEN - I LOVE YOU GUYS.
anywayy yeahh j2s we really should have an outing or something at the end of the year. eh your-ex-friendlycaptain, you can be seniors' welfare rep and organise one muahahaa =D
A BIG THANK YOU
I know its a bit of an odd timing to post but since i kinda drank starbucks at 10+pm and feel rather awake now, i guess i shouldnt waste my time trying to sleep but do something productive and meaningful here.
Since like EVERYONE posted ultra emo and touching posts since chalet ended. I shall put my final words as an EX-YOURFRIENDLYCAPTAIN here too :D
Yeah Thank You Juniors. We as seniors felt kinda bad during the chalet bec. we thought we were treating you guys quite badly (esp squeezing so many of u in one small room) and in contrast, you all were treating us damn nicely. So..we are sorry! But we are freaking touched by what you did for us. Luckily you all didnt play adriel's emo montage or i would have cried or something. Sorry to those whom WE made you guys strip (Ruiyi, Gab, Dingc) during the interview. Well we needed some entertainment hahahaha, it was definitely not my horny tendencies. hahahahah. Thanks all the various comms who prepared food, games, prez and the whole thing for us, even though we didnt really eat much of the food bought and played much of the games organised. But seeing the effort you've put into all those really touched me. When i saw the paper that you all printed with activites (intructions for games) and all the planning details, i was truly surprised and honoured that you guys put in so much effort into this chalet. So a Big Thank You!
Hello my dear senior team, i hope ive been a good captain to you guys for 1+ almost 2 years. I hope i didnt let you guys down in anyway. Well, sorry for my inefficiencies, my irresponsibilities and my insensitiveness in any way or another. You guys been really tight which makes a lot of things easier. Like getting you all to train and stuff, so thank you for that. As cliche as it may sound, Im really quite glad to have you guys team cos it seems like a family, nice and warm. Thanks for all the suanings, the disregard for whether im male or female, the stupid faces you guys make while trying to imitate me, the freaking funny comments of people and all the wondeful moments ive had with you guys during trngs/in school/chalet/outings (though seldom). I hope we still stay together even though we are like EX-hcbowlers alr. :(:(:(:(
To everyone, dont give up bowling! :D How horrible it may be, it will not be as horrible as when you decide to give up. So continue fighting on. I hope ive been a good (well uh, passable one which makes u guys satisfied) captain and hope that ive done my job as a captain.
So officially :
Exco of 2008/2009
Overall Captain: Felix Lee
Vice cap Boys: Poh Ding Chun
Vice cap Girls: Noreen Yong
Treasurer: Lim Ruixian
Secretary: Gwen Chow
Quartermother: Tiffany Tan
HEY WE SHOULD HAVE AN EOY OVERSEAS TEAM TRIP TO SOMEWHERE (EITHER MALAYSIA OR LIKE FLY TO HK OR SOMETHING). AND A MONTHLY BOWLING/DINNER GATHERING. ORGANISE ORGANISE ORGANISE ORGANISE, im serious.
Random (LONG) Post >.<
Heh i got kinda bored replying my smses. So i shall BLOG :)
Got a couple of things to talk about, so sorry for taking too much time.
1) Chalet/JTS
One word: FANTASTIC! Haha it was a true chalet in its primal definition: Fun, Exciting, Interesting, and NO SLEEPING!(42Hours WOOTS!)
Juniors:
Haha u may be tired of this, but i have to say it again.
THANK YOU JUNIORS! XD
Thank you for booking the rooms. Thank you for bringing along games and mahjong! Thank you for the entertaining EXCO interviews(although we may have to thank gwen goh for that too XD)! Thank you for being such a sport and actually digging for the bottles rather than just stand there for yours to be found. Thank you for organising the HouseBall competition(even though i didnt win, at least i could WEAR the shoes! XD)! Thank you for the gifts( THEY WERE WONDERFUL!) Thank you for JTS (even though it was fattening. >.<). And finally, THANK YOU for simply being yourselves!
And i think WE should apologise for having one room to the 7 of us, while leaving the other room to the 15 of you. Haha we were selfish, and we apologise. :(
Seniors: It has a FANTASTIC 1year,6months with you guys, from the days we went to KATONG to bowl, to our new home in Yishun. From our first training, where i was the only LOSER guy bowling with 3 girls, we eventually became not 9 bowlers, but ONE team. Our random (but few) outings, funny conversation topics during trainings, and our simple yet elegant camaraderie made me feel more at home than council. AT TIMES. *looks arnd for any 34th* I'll really miss you guys/gals. WE SHOULD MEET ONCE A MONTH TO JUST TALK KOK AND ENJOY ONE ANOTHER'S COMPANY! XD (Looks at OURFRIENDLYCAPTAIN)
HCBowling 07/08 WHOOSH!
2) HC-SR Friendly Report
13th June. Friday.
Supposedly the unluckiest day of any month, we stepped into Hougang Bowl with tons of trepidation, knowing that we were very rusty having not bowled competitively since Nationals. It was with this worry in our heads and the swarms of butterflies in our stomach that we quickly opened up lanes to get some final, last minute practices, while at the same time waiting for the latecomers. (Namely Joshua and BENJAMIN QUEK!) The inevitable was to come, and it was with immense hesitation that we set-up and stepped forward for our approaches.
Our initial fears came true as we each and all succumbed to missed shots, bad timings and releases, and the loud shouts from Lane 5. Yet all was not lost, as we quickly adapted and started to get back some, if not all, of our old rhythm. The games were exhilarating, with strikes, misses, spares, and cries of agony a common fixture in every lane. The Loud Trio, namely Ying Hao, Ben Chan and Adriel, started to re-enter their zen-like state of shouting whenever they see a strike/spare. Soon the times flew by and before we knew it, we had all bowled 3 games. Once they ended, the participants quickly crammed around the SRJC table, anxiously awaiting the results of the first round, while the HCI idiots started cam-whoring, led by THE A*-grade camwhore Adriel.
Minutes later, the results were released. HCI Boys Team2 and SRJC Girls Team1 were officially crowned Champion teams in their respective categories, and the top 10 performing individuals were selected to compete in the final block of 2 games to determine the individual champions. (Interesting to note, is that both teams came from the same pair of lanes.)
At 4pm, the next block of games commenced, with loud strikes and accurate spares a delight for the legions of spectators in the back. The girls were busy fighting off competition on ajoining lanes, while the boys had to fend off opponents across 4 lanes.
With each passing frame, we came closer to determining which person would go home with their head held high. The first game ended with N123 - J119, A193 - C175. As the next game started, fantastic shots from Joanna and Christopher gave their competitors some early scares, with them gaining the lead for a period of time. Before we knew it, it boiled down to the top 2 girls and boys bowlers to fight for the top spot: Noreen and Joanna, and Adriel and Christopher. An anxious finishing followed, with every bowler knowing that one mistake would cost them the lead. However, Noreen and Adriel held their nerve to consistently apply pressure, and eventually they triumphed, ending the game N148 - J137, A202 - C207. With that, the "Masters" ended with HCBowlers clinching the top prizes.
Team Result:
Boys Team Champions: HCI Boys Team 2, consisting of Ying Hao, Ben Chan, Jansen, Adriel
Girls Team Champions: SRJC Team 5(Girls), consisting of Catherine, Phoebe, Grace and Joanna
PS they bowled on Lanes 5 and 6 respectively.
Individual Results:
Girls: 1. Noreen 2. Joanna 3. Gillian
Boys: 1. Adriel 2. Christopher 3. Markus
PS I apologise for not having any photos, but i dont have one of my own, so i usually attempt to spam them onto other people's cameras. :)
PSS My dream is to be a JOURNALIST! O.O
3) Pictures and Photo Montage
This is ANOTHER call to all those who brought their cameras to the above 2 places/events! Haha once again i'm calling for ALL the random photos that we took.
Gwen Goh, Tiffany, SuFen, Noreen, u can either burn them onto a DVD or i'll pass you my HD after BTs to put in. :)
This is to facilitate my decision whether i should update the photo montage after BTs to include the 2 events.
Regarding the old photo montage, i should have put it into your sharing folder, although it might take like 3 days? Haha if you guys want the photos, either get from gwengoh, ruixian, donald, jansen, or me. But i might be a a** and NOT do it coz i need to MUG big time. >.<
4)The Conclusion to a Long, Ardous Post
Hmm i just thought of writing a report on the chalet/jts. BUT it would take forever, and i dont have the luxury to do that at this juncture of my life. *points to parents*
So i shall end it here with this quote.
"Life is more than just winning, losing, or drawing; it's about the great bonds we make, the fantastic friendships we share, and the excellent times we spend that defines our life."
^.^ Hope you like it. I thought of it just 5mins ago. (Damn i'm good. XD)

chalet stuff
hi guys!
got a few chalet stuff to announce. which is on monday 9th june by the way.
we the activities committee have been working REAL hard to plan this chalet and we hope you guys can enjoy it like. alot.
k so a few things to announce:
Meeting time and place: 11am at harbourfront mrt station control panel (purple line - if youre not sure which it is. its not the green or red) make sure u come punctually!
Items to bring: just in case you guys have never been to chalets before.
1) Change of clothes (no-brainer item) dont bring and well...you know
2) basic toiletries (same as item 1)
3) cards and consoles (must-have item) volunteers to bring them thx. replies will be appreciated
4) First-aid kit. To be brought by anyone afraid of sand. ohboy those sure are scary =/
5) Money. monorail tickets will have to be bought to get in or out of sentosa. priced at $3 each, these buggers last only a day and we need to get new ones to leave the island every other day. so we suggest bringing at least $30 -$40 to last the whole duration. including food and drinks etcetc
also, some of you have requested for midnight movies. im afraid vivo doesnt screen movies that late. so unless you want it held somewhere else (suggest thx) or to watch it sometime early in the day. we've got free time so we can watch it then. also, reply thx
oh and theres this banana eating competition we'll carry out during the chalet. we want to know who will be interested. itll be fun. i mean we're talking about bananas how bad can it get? so uh yea, interested victims can reply on the tagboard on the right.
thats all.
really.
Hey guys (: For those who haven't given their photos to Adriel before ... can you save it in a thumbdrive and bring it on Saturday's training? (if you're going, hopefully!) This is for the *hinthint* gradgift!

Friendly with SRJC
Details are as follows.
Date: 13th June 2008.
Venue: Hougang Bowl
Time: 12.30pm
Please bring along $12 in order to cover the cost of the games and the prizes. (And cameras too. ^.^)
The programme will be as follows.
1st session:
3 games will be played in quartets format. (4 per lane).
The top 3 girls/top 7 guys will be invited to continue playing in the 2nd session.
2nd session:
2 games will be played in doubles format. (2 per lane).
The awarding of prizes will be as follows:
1st session: Top Boys Team.
2nd Session: Top 3 guys/Top Girl
The reason why there is no "Top Girls" team pirize for the 1st session and why there is relatively so little girls prizes is due to the fact that not many girls will be participating in this friendly. (11 to be exact).
In case you may have forgetten, here are the team allocations once again.
Team B1: Felix, Rui Yi, Ding Chun, Joshua
Team B2: Ying Hao, Ben Chan, Jansen, Adriel
Team B3: Qing Yang, Donald, Chong Chen, Bryan Ong
Team B4: Gabriel, Bryan Choo, Rui Xian, Chuan Khim
