Thay always have one tub of biscuits waiting down there, got digestives, ginger biscuits, cream custard, chocolate cream, tea biscuits, lemon cream...so i always take lor!
The biscuits are supposed to be for those pple who are unwell and staying in the sick bay, but its like, very little pple get sick here, so the biscuits just left uneaten.
Actually, I think we are not allowed to take from there:p...

Remember a few posts ago i went for this interview to see if i can participate in a special home for orphans in Romania? I received a letter from them 2 days ago... I GOT SELECTED!!! Quite cool, it starts on the first of july and goes on for 2 weeks. If you want to know more about the proj,
http://medlink-uk.com/ROMANIA/, would help.
Ahh, just came back from Singapore again after a 1 week break... Actually i was lucky to have been back, because like 1 week, come and go, isnt it a lot of money?! To be honest, it is, but mum wanted me back for tution, so i am not complaining.. The weather in Singapore super nice man!! It was like hot and sunny most of the time. Humid as well, but i dont get to sweat much in UK anyway, so i dont really mind that much. Wah lau, when i go back EVERYONE says that i bcame whiter...:(. Oi, want to blame, just blame the weather la! In UK winter very little sun one okay...Anyway, according to my other singapore friend here, we would be back for a 4 week break in 32 days time!!!, YAY!! so im counting down..But the sad thing is that my Birthday is going to be here, dunno whether should be sad also, might be fun to celebrate it here for a change.. but it feels more right to celebrate it with family... you know what i mean?
O, i brought back a keyboard, because some of the keys on my laptop has problems, like the spacebar doesnt space properly and all. Actually my mum was about to throw away this keyboard, which is like 5+ years old?! It's all yellow with age, but i cleaned it up and used it:p. See, i bring back rubbish to UK to use. I also brought back speakers for computer, because i only listen to music whenever i have free time, so need some good quality music..
Other stuff... OH, today during chem class, i told this indian guy called javier an indian racist joke, those that are damn common in singapore/ rjc..
So i went like:
Me: What do you call Indians in a swimming pool?
Jv: I dunno, what?
Me: Cin chao
Jv: * No response*
Me: What, don't get it?
Jv: What is Cin chao?
Backfire......

PSsSsSSssSsssS
Yeserday i went for the Romania Family project appeal interview. Quite fun acutally.
It was held in Manchester, so i had to take a train up there. My first train was at 8.31am, so i got up at 7.15, prepared and left for the train station: Took the 8.31am train from Winchester(that's where my school is in case u didnt know) to Birmingham New Street. Then from Birmingham N ST, changed platform and caught another train to Warrington Bank Quay. Changed train
again to go to Manchester Piccadilly station. I reached the station at 12.40+, so the whole train ride up to manchester took 4 hrs+..what an effort..
After that i got into them London taxis and showed the driver the address. I must say that British Taxi drivers are actually really reliable. They seem to know every Tom, Dick and Harry street. The place where i was going was supposed to be quite remote and hard to find, but he found it, no questions asked. Singapore Taxis have something to learn from the British at least..
Anyway, i reached the Lighthouse resource centre(where my interview is held) at around 1.20pm, it was a 25 min taxi ride btw. My interview was not until 3.00pm, but better early than late innit. The secretary there was super nice she wanted to show me to the kitchen to help myself, wanted to get me a drink etc, but i politely declined her offers:p..
It was only when i reached there and saw 2 other interviewees that i realized the damnest thing: i was in
informal wear... i was like:
Bullocks.. They had ties and were in suits, i was in a sweater and trek pants. It just did not occur to me to wear formal, i dunno why, dun ask me. I mean, if it's university interviews i would of course wear suits etc, but for some reason i had the impression that this interview was informal, so i wore like that..
My mum called from Singapore while i was waiting and when i told her, she kinda chided me, saying like:" ...it's showing no respect to the interviewers etc etc" but there was no way i could go back to Winchester to get changed..
I wasnt nervous at all while waiting leh. I was in this 'crazy', 'talkative' mood....hyperactive might describe how i was like a bit more accurately i think. But at 2.20 the applicant before me got called in and she had told me b4 that that her's was at 2.40. I was :"
shit so fast?!" Instantly my heart starting beating damn fast, and adrenaline kicked in. My mum was still on the phone then.. so she told me:" remain calm, breath in deeply and concentrate on your breath, n we got off the phone so i could compose myself.. i did that, and it worked quite well i must say...
When it was finally my turn, they called me in
(dduh) There were 2 interviewers, one lady(Sarah Bazley, Director of the project) and a man( i dunno who). They were talking to this guy who was standing at the entrance when i walked in. I stood behind the chairs and waited for them to finsih talking. The man told me to sit down, i greeted him good afternoon, but i think i did it quite lamely, hard to explain, like as if i said it in the wrong time..When the guy at the door left, i greeted the both of them again. And then i said:"Before we start, i first would like to apologize -pause- because i think i am a bit underdressed"
They laughed and told me it was alright, then Ms Bazley refered to the man who just left, saying:"that man is our Senior Minister(i dont think i heard wrongly), and he's in jeans! Don't worry, there is no problem at all!"
I think i accidentally made a good start, because we started off at light note:D quite proud of myself there, i must admit.. I once heard that in interviews, although it can be 30 mins long, the interviewers already more or less make up their minds about the applicant during the first 10-20 secs of the interview.. First impression - very important.
So they asked me questions.. 1) what got you interested in this romania appeal project? 2) Can you give us a brief description of your work experience with children 3) Do you think you are emotionally strong enough to handle what you will see in Romania, because you would see many cases of children who are seriously affected by their former conditions
(something along the lines, i cant remember this one word for word) The man also said that i had written in the form that i wanted to pursue a medical course and asked if i still would like to(he meant if i wanted to study medicine, i didnt understand what he meant by 'pursue medical course' so i had to ask him what he meant specifically) Then he asked what universities i wanted to go into.On the whole i think i answered okay, i stumbled on my words and expressions a few times la, and during the 1st question i had to pause a long while to gathermy thoughts, but Ms Bazley was very nice, told me to take my time. In interviews u have to engage all interviewers, meaning you address all, and not only the one questioning you. I couldnt do that properly because the man always had his head down, readingmy form, so i just like glanced at him form time to time and mostly addressed the lady..ah well..got to practice on that.After the interview they said they would write to me within the week to see if i got selected.
Hahaha, as i was walking out of the room and shaking hands with them, i dunno what went into my head, i added jokingly," Don't stress yourselves out too much!" i thought because they had been interviewing pple non-stop for the whole day, so they must be tired what... They laughed.
So, after the interview, it was around 3.30, i took a bus to the train station. The ride took 45 mins...i slept on the bus, but thankfully awoke in time to get off the right stop.My train leaves only at 8.15pm. Hahaha, this meany i had almost 4 hrs, to do nothing. Technically i can book another ticket to go back earlier, but are u kidding?! That defeats the whole point of me booking the 8.15 train! hahaahah.So i wandered around the whole Manchester Piccadilly train station. I more or less memorized the whole station already man, just walking in circles doing nothing. I bought something from the Saintsbury's Supermarket in the station, and looked for a dustbin to ditch the plastic bag. Guess what..I couldnt find one!! There was not a single dustbin in the whole goddamn train station. REally Unbelievable! I walked around the station with the trash for close to 45 mins just looking for that bin. I kept getting tricked by the various different newspaper collection stands that look a hell like a dustbin from afar. I couldnt believe there was none, and thought i just couldn spot one because ofmy short-sightedness.. In the end, i found one. It was a movable one.I saw the bright orange vest of the rubbish man pushing his rubbish cart. Thats where i rid my trash at last.Anyway, 8.15 finally came, i took the train to London Euston station, the took a tube(equivalent to MRT) to Waterloo station and caught another train back to Winchester.I only arrived back at my dorm at 1.30 am. Its supposed to lock up at 11pm, but i toldmy housemaster to leave the front door open for me :pHave typed for more than1 hr 20mins, got somemore, but next time.l8er

This entry is inspired by RFG concert @RGS, 4th FebROCK FOR GOOD CONCERT'S a "CONCERT THAT ROCKS" (as quoted by todayonline.com)
YEAH MA-N ! Heard the concert which stars electrico, ronin, the suns, WGB, skyjuice and crossbred was a major success leh dun mess. Not easy to plan for concerts this size, *remembering the charity sale that rycp-ers in rj tried to organize, but proposal was more or less shelved/ditched, more of the latter less of the former actually*
So a huge congratulations to Sabrina and her 10-membered team! *ENCORE* *ENCORE**ENCORE* , next year going to organize another eh!
I lay hands on some of the picures taken of the concert and the videos as well! Oi, if i can get that prickly skin feeling by just watching the concert on a 6cmx6cm quicktime window, its
got to be of some kickass standard innit.
Those of you who went,good for you ! Those who didnt, there is always next year!
"this song is dedicated...to the singapore police force!!"
Haha, i always wanted to perform on the stage also, for hip-hop dancing, but i aint good enough yet and i cant practice here also:p dun worry, will come:D, akan datang.

I just finished my mock exams today!! Yeah!
The papers were alright, do-able. And its really funny, because the bio paper yesterday was last years paper, and i
have that paper in my dorm and happened to be reading the mark scheme of it the morning of the exam! So i kind of -urh- breezed through it? It would have been a challenging paper to be honest, had i not known what exactly the questions were asking and what the answers were...
A bit of a cheat really:p, but not my fault right! the teacher lazy to set new questions and give me past year papers to do mah...not as if i went to spy or anything.
Chem just now was pretty oaky,all the stuff tested were taught during the first 3-4 months in RJ.
I told u, here sibei slow..
Been slacking around the whole day...waiting for people to see if they want to play CS..they call playing com games
veg, i dunno why.. They say like, "are u vegging on CS later?" etc etc
Other than that, its been an uneventful day.
Oh, later i am going to my friend's hostel to sleep over. Its against the rules, of course, why do u think i am going to do it?!:p Hahaha, going to sneak over there later, hopefully the housemaster wont check my room and his housemaster wont check his.
Rules are meant to be broken right? Dunno la, maybe im just bored of my hostel, and i never was a good follower of rules and restrictions.
HAhAhah, i would have typed- wish me all the best- i just did anyway, but u really shouldnt be doing that:D

There was this big commotion at my table over lunch today.
They served 4 eggs to share among 7 people...
"
It is illogical..." This nigerian guy called Tossin said.
LoL...i just laughed...what the cook was thinking... only god and her ownselfknows what...<-- A bit like prime numbers: numbers that can only be divided by itself or god-knows-what
"
Are we supposed to split the eggs..?""...

JeEz uP YaLL!!
Okay, i now i am a bit slow in blogging days events but you got to understand: We are busy people.
And maybe lazy sometimes, but anyway here is something.
Last Saturday(28-1-06), a group of girls from another school 40mins away were invited to our hostel for this social gathering thing. This gathering was only open for the top 2 years in my hostel (my year and the year above). The house master was sayin:"...don't worry because there will be one each..."
They were supposed to arrive at around 7.30. So at 6.30 we moved the tables from the dining hall to turn it into something like a disco dance floor. The housemaster brought in an actual DJ for the event. He had like all his boards, big speakers, a damn load of CDs and everything.
But anyway, when the girls arrived at 7.30, it was as expected: the guys all stuck to one side of the hall while the girls stuck to the other side. But the girls were quite on la, i guess they should be because they did sign up for this social thing after all... They were the only ones dancing while the guys just stoned behind with their beers.
After a while, like 30 mins in, some of the girls also started pulling the guys to dance...damn scary.
I realized that the girls like to do this "pole dance" sort of moves.....i was like..wtf?!Some of the songs the DJ was blasting was also abit lame. There was one that went somehting like" ....step left....step right...step left..." and the girls would really step to the left and right. lol
OK, well, some people in my hostel knew that i did hip-hop before, so they kept pushing me to dance. Damn damn PRESSURE. i was the FIRST guy to dance okay...how embarrassing was that... One of the top years shoved me really hard to the middle of this empty space between the guys and girls and a few of them started shouting damn loudly like" COME ON SHOW US SOME MOVES ..etcc. Then like a lot of the girls like stopped to see, cos i was like pushed to the middle, so it looked like i was going to do something...the guys set me up...
Anyway, The Dj happened to be playing "Ciara 1,2 step", so there was some mood and atmosphere, so heck, i danced la...it was FREAKISH and DAMN embarrassing,they would form a circle around you while you are dancing so u r the centre of attraction... but yet somehow it felt really good, like a sense of satisfaction.. I screwed up a lot of moves la...(was shouting into my pillow while thinking about it after the whole thing), but the parts where i didnt screwup and everyone was cheering and screaming ...felt really really good...
After that they had this guy vs girl thing, where each group would send someone to dance something. The guys wanted me to choose a song and start-off...haha, so i got the Dj to play "lose control" by Missy Elliot...Sigh, while dancin halfway i SCREWED UP LAR! its like i just suddenly had a mental block, duno what move to do next and yet dun wanna do the same move or it will look damn farni... and once i also started off at the wrong beat..
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
But it was quite fun overall...right now, thinking back, i have no idea how i plucked up the courage to dance man...Its my first ever time dancing in a non-class situation...
my god.......
