My JC Life

Due to the updating of my two buddies' blog, i've to keep up the trend and do one for myself. So that i wouldn't forget about how my life was wasted in JJC. keke...

On my 1st day to JJ, i walked to school. Every step closer to the college, i felt more anxious about settling into the culture of JJ. Afterall, i've just left the gangster school and now into a much more cultured one i supposed. Everyone was equally blur i should say, or maybe i'm the only one who is blur. Because others simply got their friends around and some even had friends in their OG already. While I was the lonely chap in my OG, i didn't talk much. Or i should say i didn't talk at all. First day was crap. There's all this OGLs keeping shouting none stop, making us do things that we don't like to do. Like singing, cheering and dancing. It's like so crap. I wasn't really enjoying myself. What a dread to do all this crazy stuffs. Then it came OG time, when we can communicate with each other i supposed. It like a self-introduction kind of shit. And i must say i wasn't loud enough for the person next to me. Haha! That's was really crap. I think i'm like some time of problem kid with authism or what. Then, after everything ended. I get to go home. And i walked all the way home, while i see some fellow schoolmates already found their buddy to have lunch later. Actually, watching all this thing didn't affect me much, because i know that i will make a friend tomorrow, when everything is warmed up. So the second day came, and everything was fine. I can't really remember my dancing partners. Haha! Cos they ain't that hot or cute. I'm always the suay one. Picking all the leftovers. Damn! Then, i met christopher, the really HUGE guy, very strong, gives me a sense of protection. Haha! So i decided that this will be my first friend. Then after this, so came Yew wei, CongJing, William and WanYang and lastly Zhengyang. Haha! We formed the largest guy click in our OG. Which means we are the most influential people! Hahahahaha! I'm too scheming to do this kind of shit. Damn... anyway, they were really my best pals.. no fake feelings about that. The orientation for us was kinda of crap. We had to go through so much shit then go home. It was kind of stupid. Play until so happy then go home. So nonsensical. Orientation ended. OG disbanded.

Came to our first three month's class. Everyone is quite new to each other, except that i knew Songzhen from my OG. Zhaorong was already a friend of Songzhen. Then Mark, Siangkeat soon joined us. Takyam was already my best pal because he's a primary schoolmate of mine. Then the class was really bonded together by the character-building camp. With the shy ones like wingyan and kaikit to open up. And the rest as well. The class had lots and lots of fun in every lesson. But there's just one lesson that we dreaded most. It's the chemistry lesson by Mdm Lee. We always have to copy each other's work so that we are prepared for the lesson. Or else she will start to scold people. Although this class isn't that on that we pon lesson to go to town or sentosa. But we managed to pon and follow on with our activities in school. Like for the guys, we formed a formidable team that managed to defeat a lot of other classes. And we also had fun playing donkey in the old canteen. Damn. All those forfeits are really disgusting. We got kiss the feet of songzhen, kiss the floor of the canteen, kiss each other, and i still remember they forced me to eat the canned longan with wingyan. Oh man, that's crap! Wingyan.. you still remember? Hahaha! Ok i'm so sorry if i stolen your first kiss to a guy friend. If i really did, then i'm so sorry. Haha! Anyway, soon, CCA day came. I wanted to join Tennis because i've learnt tennis before, and my house have a tennis court so i get to train 24/7 while my teammates will be unable to do that. Keke. But very sad to say, i can't find their booth. Damn! Then, i went around, really didn't leave my name around at all. So that i still can hop around the CCAs. Then, my good friend Christopher called me while i was on my way home. Then, he said that he got a friend that he wants to introduce to me. He says that she is quite pretty and she's in the band. And he wants me to join the band as well. I was like... ok loh... Then, i went back, walked into the band room. It was like so many people inside with guys trying to flaunt their drum skills on the drumset. i should say they were all BAN MEN NONG FU in front of me. I didn't went to flaunt it. I chose to keep it a secret. Haha. Then i was introduced to this girl. Which i thought was like... "Chey.. normal what.. where got pretty. So so lah..." (hahaha) Then guessed what, she smsed me that night. To protect the identity of the girl i shall not type her name out. Haha! kind of stupid, cos i think everyone knows who she is. Keke! those who don't know, sorry i can't tell, you can ask around. Haha! Then, i was always fascinated by those girls who are really bold enough to make the first step. So this evolves an interest in me to get to know her better. And through enough, after three days i think... or maybe more. With the help of technology like mIRC, SMS, we chatted quite a bit and we went into a relationship abruptly. Haha! All the datings were crap, all the talks were crap. Everything was crap in that relationship. Because we didn't know each other well enough. Haha! Actually i just wanted a fling. Damn. She's gonna kill me for that... Anyway, i believe that now she knows that so maybe she wouldn't kill me. Then, we broke up. Then, results released! I get to stay at JJ, and many left. But mostly important, zhaorong and songzhen stayed. But takyam left me. I'm so sad. I get to become OGL! Haha! The second orientation for sz, zr and i was an enlightening one. With this experience, we were much more tactful in things that we handle. I really enjoy a lot in this second Orientation. The spirit in leading the cheers, teaming up with zr and joining forces with sz. The three of us indeed made a really informidable team. Haha!

Then my new class was formed very soon. With people that i know of like weijie and wingyan. (formerly in my first three months class) And weichiat, my OGL mate, and Shunfu, my Pri school mate again! Haha! So i managed to have a stress-free day 1 of the new class. As i've already got friend and i don't need to make, as they will just come forward and join our clique. Haha! Days go past. Girls do their stuffs. Chinese boys talk their own crap and disgusting sex topics. Malays guys make their own noises and one indian boy trying to become the referee of the class. Hahaha! Teachers having a hard time trying to get the students in this class to behave well as well as getting their results tuned up. Turned out that i started to pon lessons and became the top ponner in class. Can only say that whenever i come back to the class guys, they accepted me very well. Not rejections, i thought it was really great to have this group of friends. They were really tolerant of each other's bad habits and behaviours. Each of the guys have their own trademarks. Can't really put their trademarks into words, it comprises of their personality, actions and the words that they use. Not bad, not bad. All the guys possessed the character well-loved by the masses. Muahahahaha!

I got myself into the band, because SHE wants me to join. The band was really crappy. I didn't intend to join at first, but after some other reasons and also i get to play more music and pursue a higher level of drumming. I decided that i should continue with it. Even though the band looks really pathetic, i agree to the point that all JC bands looks pathetic, but our is exceptionally bad in terms of sound and eveything. But i still remained in the band for the sake of my love for music. I continued playing, all the perc 1 parts, no one in the band actually wanted to play them. I'm not really that selfish to take up all of them but i've to cos no one wants to play them. Music was really crap, even the conductor didn't awed me. But he's a nice guy after talking to him for a while. Can joke with him. Went into the band and within like a month plus, i'm off the SYF. It was really tormenting for me to do the snare and tom parts together on the exciting part. The part where i go at 12/8 counting. I practiced that with the metronome until i sleep i also dreamt about that rhythm. Because i wasn't able to play that counting in the first time i attempted it in the band. So paiseh, thought i knew a lot actually i got much more to learn from.

Then, I joined council to pursue a knowledge that i wouldn't get from being a normal student. Joining two ccas is no kidding i tell you. It's really mentally and physically tiring for me. Have to think of the plans and proposals for the council as well as the rhythms and beats for the band scores, i also have to perform my council duties during the operations and also faithfully practising all the drum parts for the concerts. Juggling with the two ccas, i really neglected my studies. Even though i was a little regretted about concentrating much more on CCAs, but i also found out that i was a much more better person now.

In the end, I spent my first year, pontening classes, crapping with classmates, joking, playing, working inside the council room, getting scoldings for small little reasons or no reasons, soccered with my classmates, kena tortured by those heartless PE teachers especially psycho Tay, attending brain washing dialogue session with the communist our principal Mr Koh, failing class test and BIG MAJOR tests as well. I totally didn't care much about the academic side of my JC life. But i had fun and learnt a lot. Haha! The first year was occupied by lots of events sports day, whatever days, band fest, and everything. Too many to sum up but generally i played hard for all of them.

For the second year, it was a much more hectic one. Right from the holidays, all the proposals for the Orientation have to be up. We were like rejected for many times, as well as, preparing loads of crap. Like council run-through, council testing of games, OGL camp, OGL games. Then finally the new year with the brand new Orientation. I drew out a totally new format about how games should be run, how things should go around without missing, how budget should be twisted here and there. Planning was a hell training for my poor brain cells. Without the help of two wonderful brains that belongs to byue and william. I will never be able to come out with our OWN set of SOP for the RUNNING OF GAMES. Muahaha. Then, i gained a hell lot of experience in talking to the crowds. Not i don't think i will ever have a problem in public speaking. It's so familiar for me to look at strangers already and talking to them as well. Then, after the Orientation. Then, i found out that i missed a one whole month's of lectures and tutorials. I've indeed kept up with my title of the LEADING PONNER of S14. haha.

Then, came the shadows. Being a mentor, i thought of a lot of ideas on how to sabotage my own disciples to make them learn. They really matured a lot during the term under my care. I've not treated them really that well i must admit, but i managed to made them much more better in organising things. They were the proudest products i ever created in my life. Haha. sounds wrong but never mind. Then, it was more stuffs. Love fiesta, national day, teacher's day, talentime. and more and more.

I just remembered that once the date reaches near the prelims. The alarm clock inside me starts to ring. I started to make a new clique comprises of zhiyu and marc. The three of us became the three musketeers of the class. We awed the class with triple Fs in our prelims. Wonderful. and we continued by studying together throught the phase towards our As. We were really so close at that time. Marc got his own bgr probs. Zy also had some probs with his friend's probs. While me only with no probs trying to find probs out of nowhere. Hahaha. Then, As came, we rushed throughout the nights and finally it ended. And so does my eight months of relationship. The longest ever. Haha. Guessed i did managed to make other believe that i can last longer than 6 months? She was really one nice companion, entertaining me with the mind games that i loved playing. Nothing was more pleasurable than those mind games. The rest of it are just supplementaries. Haha. Thanks anyway, for accompanying me, in my thoughts for 8 months. It was a nice memorable one. Not ugly at all. Then, i went back to the mountains and decided to stay there for the rest of my army term. So i will not be targetting for a new victim for the time being. Girls you all should not be wary of me liao, cos i'm not hungry. I'm eating veggies now in the temple of shaolin. Haha. Then, the year ended with more playings through the nights for this game called maplestory. And also resting really well. That's all for my second year. It spells the end here. Wanted to entry this post long ago but it took me a few months to realise that i didn't complete it and post it. So sorry about that. I think this one is quite detailed enough. To add on, the second year, is nothing but relationships, council terms, band terms, studying stress and of course brotherhoods.
