haha it's me again. yep yep took a break from mugging to blog here! hahaha.
well bascially after joining odac, it has thought me one very important lesson, which is to nv underestimate those who are not as popular as others in school.
in vs, i have been mixing with ppl who have been preceived to be more popular i guess, after 4 years of mixing with such ppl, it has been sort of drilled into me tat i should only associate myself with those who are more popular. i guess it's not only me, but others to, who think tat bascially those who are more popular are cooler or more trendy, ppl who can crap with you and joke with you. i am guilty of tat perception too, and up to a certain extent i actaully condescended those who are less popular, or the quiter ones.
joining odac has made me changed tat completely. when i first joined b2b, i met eugene. hahaha seriously at first i didn't really liked him, cos he was just er ya eugene. tat time was first 3 mths, so he was still in his river valley uniform looking lyk a nurse with his super old round round thick thick specs and not forgetting his haircut. tat was b2b. then came olc, which was quite a flop cos i didn't noe anybody from tat camp except the ppl in cyclone. wilson. haha. initiation was next, and tat was when we started getting to know each other, and i realised tat odac got quite alot of quiet less popular ppl. tt's why initially i didn't really feel comfortable in odac, to some extent, i actaully condescended some of the ppl in odac, which up till now i am quite guilty. but as we moved along, throuhg kobur, thorugh pt, through studying together, i realised how those tat i consider not tat popular were actaully the very ones tat brought so much fun into odac. eugene may look lyk a mugger, but he's full of shit. szehan is 100% mugger, but he's oso full of shit. haha BMW. willy's a super nice person. ki has the ability to amuse others(but not me) with his intellectual jokes. i guess sometimes we can't judge a book by it's cover, simliarly we can't judge ppl by their looks and appearances. the very ones tat u turn away and reject may be the very ones who can bring more fun and joy than those who are perceived to be popular.
if odac hadn't given me this chance to mix with such ppl, up till today, i will be still be indifferent towards such ppl. and i think tt wld be quite sad. so yeah once again odac boardens and opens your perspective.
10 years down the road, will we still be as close to each other like now? those photos tat are outside the notice board, those are living proof of our precious memories spent together. i was just thinking, tat 10 years later, when one day we return to the room, and find our pictures being stuffed somewhere inbetween the drawers, will we recall those moments fondly, or will we be glad tat we are still living in those moments. there's a huge difference, in both. if those moments are part of our past, it will be gone sooner or later, just like how pictures of our primary sch frens mean nothin to us now, but just a recollection of the happy times we spent together. but if we are still living in those moments, still experiencing more of those wonderful times 10 years down the road, den the true purpose of odac has been realised. i guess odac is not just about spending 2 years of your time with 22 other ppl, but spenting the rest of your lives with them.
life's like a stage. in different stages of our lives, different ppl are our co-actors, while the rest of the world are just our background. as we progress on, as we grow up, new co-actors will come on the stage, while others will just fade into the background. i hope odac will forever be our co-actors, and not just sth tat will fade away after 2 years.
haha shit somehow i after the stupid gp paper i cannot write as fluently as before. shit lah. haha jiayou ppl :)

and so tmr marks the last day of the before promos. and today marks the second last day. i'm blogging coz it seems ppl visit this place quite often when they're bored of mugging. so i'm just trying to provide some form of entertainment. well. it's more entertaining to see a diff post now and then. opposed to the same one all the time. so well here it is. the really interesting update. aha. ok. ppl who ordered the asics. well they're here. at least the ds-trainers are. so those who ordered ds-trainers. bring ur money and go claim ur BRIGHT ORANGE SHOES from miss ng. yep they're seriously really really bright. much to most of our...hmm distaste? . hahas not really. we're just not used to such bright shoes. unlike a certain someone. =) ahahs. ok studyings been pretty much wth recently. i've nvr really tried to study so hard for an exams before. see the keyword here? tried. hopefully this is one of those things where trying alone is enough (mugging gives u a slight degree of delusion). its got to an extent where well. over mugged i'd say. i'm at the pt where i dun wanna study anymore. just wanna get over and done with it. well for willy here. he's fine with chem and bio(delusion they say is a long lasting effect). pretty much screwed for econs( oh lookie here. this specimen shows signs of improvement). and a pass for math is literally unreachable (ahh..well on the road to a full recovery.) so. willy hopes that all the other odac instructors have prepared themselves better then he did. and he hopes that they'll all do well for the promos. at least he wishes most of them good luck. for others though. luck isn't very much needed.(any guesses?). mugging has detrimental side effects. it gives stress. makes u tired. and drives u crazy*. yes. so its all gonna be over very soon. just pull urselfs together ppl. and hold it together till its over. ace the final gauntlet.
dun run against the wind. it'll push u back. dun run like the wind . it'll tire u. run with the wind. it'll carry u.

tmr marks the start of the promos! the beginning of the end like dennis said. or the beginning of another beginning! life after the promos! woohoo. i'm severely tempted to list down the LOTSA STUFFS which i wanna do after the promos. which obviously includes LOTSA PT(see i sorta gave in so easily.) =) hahas. okie i'm getting under the influence of nxy. PTPTPT! anyways gd luck to all for the promos. yup. some will need it. others won't(guess who..) but yeah well . anywayys. the odac rm's fan is repaired.(super delayed announcement.) but well it is repaired. and theres the bigbig wind again. means that the rm is now back to its not so conducive environment for study. =) so maybe. just maybe i'll study in there tmr. after the papers. and maybe i won't. thats for tmr to know. hahas. ok i shan't go on. gotta go study abit. before i fall aslp. the Z monster is VERY persuasive if u din noe.

time flies. as a batch of pis in april, we have progressed on to becoming instructors. seriously at the start of this journey, i wouldn't in my wildest imagination think tat it would be so fun. as pis, we hardly ever noe each other. to be honest, olc is a "get to know your fellow teamates" camp and not a "get to know your fellow batchmates". haha cos the only person tat i knew besides blizzard was jiamin and sng tiak, and of cos tat long lasting impression of wilson being a gay. HAHAHA. i still rmbred initiation cermony, tat was where it all started i guess. korbu played a very important part in gluing us all together. it's lyk elepahnt glue la, much much better than ulu. so i guess seet was right when he said a mountain would certainly bring us closer together.
after korbu, we got to know every single one in the 23rd batch. our positive and negative quailties. and we find a compromise with each other, and we just have fun, and just enjoy ourselves. now we have succesfully one couple. haha the pig heads, and i guess a few more to come in the near future. project leech is certainly not included. haha
it's has been a fast moving 1 year. and nxt year it wld even be faster. very soon, we will have to bid our farewells to each other again. all our hardships and our sufferings, will become our memories.
everything that has a beginning, has an end. cherish wad we have now.
odac rocks.

tick tock. yes another day closer to the promos. just 10 days to start of promos actually. 10 days. i think we all need more days to mug. so let's all buy 8 days...okay, failed joke, never mind.
anyway, pt on friday was...indescribable. i don't which is worse, climbing stairs or doing rounds round the lagoon thing. but i'm guessing we'll find out real soon. oh, try this next time. once you get up the spiral stairs, stare straight down at the ground floor for maybe 30 seconds. i think it makes you feel like jumping. the pattern on the ground is almost inviting you to come towards as quickly as possible. and that would be jumping. yes i know sensitive topic to touch just before the promos, but try it some time not so soon..
anyway, since we're on to sensitive topics, i shall bring up another...project work!! yes i'm sure most of us are guilty of not having started on our eoms despite it being due on tuesday (yes that would be me). good luck and have fun.
random fact of the day: it is not possible to have your left hand touching your right elbow and your right hand touching your left elbow simultaneously.
random fact of the day #2: random fact of the day is not a fact. it is possible..but i bet 99% of you just tried it out.. =D

well i suppose pao has said just about everything about the spar-hitting-head incident, and monster's up and running again (sounds weird i know), so i think we will just let this be a lesson for all of us, and hopefully it it isn't repeated.
it's back to school soon, in about 9 hours or so (or maybe 10 for the latecomers :D). just shows how fast one week passes by. for that matter, doesn't orientation seem like only yesterday? just 2 weeks to start of promos! (i think) tons of uncompleted homework, years of ten-year-series (yes it's intended) questions to attempt and weeks of certain teachers to see. ain't school great?
but after that there'll be the open house and of course fansipan! maybe we'll fit in a few activities in here and there but i suppose we're all looking forward to the end-of-year ot. i shall remain politically correct, and sincerely welcome all who will be joining us on the mountain. see you at the top!
ah ok, i've come to the amazing conclusion that this post serves no purpose, so if you have faithfully followed chronology and are now reading this, i have just wasted about 2 minutes of your mugging time! fun..
oh, by the way, i hate mondays..

hey i tink after what happened today, me and hui hui wld like to say sorry to monster. although it's a shared responsibility, we are the overall ics and ultimately we shld be the ones ensuring that a high level of safety is observed at all times. we have failed obviously, which resulted in this terrible accident. sorry monster. get well soon kaes, honestly i think your skull is made of metal or some undiscovered monster element. i tink if it was anyone else who kana the pole, we wld have fainted on the spot. and i actaully saw the pole BOUNCE off your head. godlike. rest well monster.
sorry to the pt ics too, for taking up so many pt sessions for pioneering. today would be the last time, so we will have a proper pt next week okaes. so sorry.
i tink this accident is a clear indication of our complaceny towards safety. what may seem as very safe activity can actaully turn out to be disastrous. in all my years of pioneering, i thought such a project would be one of the safest since we are working with comfortable heights. furthurmore, we have already done this for at least 4 times. however this is obviously not true. so for the next pioneering session which would be after promos, please observe certain safety precautions.
1. step base no matter what. we didn't step base today, tat's why when the top pole slipped off, the bottom pole just sprang up cos of the weight and the whole thing just came crashing down. so no matter what, STEP BASE. esp the "7"s. they look harmless, but their weight is comparable to the base pole that crashed on monster's head today.
2. always be alert and communicate. look around your surroundings, be alert. esp when u are standing under a pioneering structure, pls be aware of what is above u and surrounding you. take note of loose poles or untied poles. communicate more often. tell others of potential dangers, like if u see the knot coming loose, tell those around you, alert one us so we can access it and do sth about it if needed.
3. proper footwear. i have noticed a lot alot of glass pieces and metal bars sticking out of nowhere under the treehouse. alot of us were wearing slippers for the last few sessions, i am guilty of that too, so for the next session please make sure u come in proper footwear. we don't want to have people cutting their foot, i almost got cut the other day when my toe rammed against some metal bar sticking out of nowhere. if u kana cut, there are many many many implications which may lead to amputation. haha just kidding.
having said all these, i have also noticed that some of us are just not interested in this whole project. i know it's super sian, i am super sian oso. this has been lyk our 4th time building the same thing over and over again. but just bear with it and try to help. we have been given an impossible task by sc, so let's just try and make the best out of it. get yourself involved in the whole project, dun sit at the treehouse and start having your little mini chit chat. i dun wan to scream and yell just to get people on the treehouse to help put the 7s up. take initiative. by now all of u shld know the standard procedure. so try and HELP. if u are really not interested, don't come at all. i rather have a small group of productive people who are interested than have a large group that i have problems controlling.
hui hui and i have spent many hours trying to design and plan this whole project. we are very tired and sian about it also. but when a task is given to us, we have to complete it with our best effort. we are also learning and experimenting, so i hope all of u can cooperative with us and work together. the faster we get things done, the faster we can go home.
let's take this accident today as a lesson learnt and dun ever let history repeat itself. safety first . jiayou :)

apparently, now the rockwall key is with seet. and that's not good. he has the tendancy to make things that way.
now there's no climbing till the key is back. so much for climbing during lunch tomorrow. honestly, i'm quite pissed. next time guys and girls, either try to climb unnoticed (dunno how you gonna do that) or climb only when the air chiefs are around, like miss ng said its all about safety.
so i guess its time to lay down rules 1) never climb unless air chiefs are around 2) Stay focused. Remember, climbing calls for a serious attitude. 3) Don't drop anything metal, report it immediately 4) Double or Triple check your knots

well i suppose the thing with having a group of people on a blog is that you get multiple posts about an event. but of course no one's complaining :) so yes no prizes for guessing i'm going to talk about family tree. why i can already imagine over 10 posts on fansipan lol..
anyway, must say that it was pretty exciting and quite fun. special thanks to jasmine for bringing the photo printer thing which was nothing short of amazing by the way, as well as dennis for staying up on the tower the whole day (though i suspect he did it for the tan, though someone needs to tell him you'll get only burnt), in addition to eugene with the camera and the technical know-how (notice how my conjunctions make it possible to thank a billion people) and of course the runners with the rope and helmet/harness.
not forgetting of course uncle ringo's rides..actually there was just one, the others were there virtually for show. i saw a little girl alone on the train thing which went round and round while her mother watched..quite sad...the super top dancer (i think that's the name) was clearly the favourite attraction..and it cost 6 bucks..so do the math..it probably accounted for more than 50% of the proceeds.
oh yes of course first aid test tomorrow. i think it's time to go mug for it..so that'll be all for now.
