Students' Investiture + and Awesome New AVA members

Today is July 26 2010. Student's Investiture. In other words, the day when the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Student Council and each and every CCA officially step down from their positions and hand it over to the newly appointed ones. Of course, it is still not my turn to take over.. YET (As hinted by the Teacher in Charge of AVA). So hopefully, next year, it will be my turn to walk down the red carpet in the Grand Auditorium and take over as the new Chairman or Vice Chairman, preferably the former.

I am on AVA duty for the Investiture, so that means that the CHAOS and FUN of sitting in front of the mixer during a big event that requires multiple mics and multiple channel of music is BACK AGAIN after the 5 month of dormance after Chinese New year. BUT!! It doesn't count as I was doing the lights during CNY Concert, not the audio. SO, it means it has been 7 months of dormance for me, since Drama Nite '09. So EXCITED and HYPER the whole day because of the duty!! I thought I was out of job because I had only been assigned backstage duty ever since the new teacher in charge took over!

Happy to say that THE INVESTITURE WENT ON WITHOUT MUCH PROBLEMS! I am fairly confident in my abilities, until 2 days ago during the investiture rehearsal, I realised that due to the 7 month of dormance, my reaction time has lagged a little. But then again, there was no major problems with today's investiture (was there?)

Also, 2 of my MOST MOST MOST BELOVED JUNIORS, Li Hui and Kai Wen, wanted to join AVA Club!! I was so happy! Immediately after the investiture, I looked out of the AVA room in an attempt to spot my juniors so that I could introduce them to the Teacher In Charge. However, just as I spotted them , the teacher went out and back to his staff room. I had to chase after him to stop him from leaving and introduce the girls to him. Luckily, I managed to catch up to him and a brief introduction was done. Apparently, he was quite happy with having new members. So my dear juniors can begin their "AVA Duties" from next week onwards! I do hope that both Lihui and Kaiwen will enjoy their time working and slacking with the AVA club!

Life in SJAB. Year 2009.

Long Post Warning.

SJAB, Year 2009

2009, a new year, a new school, a new CCA,
Decided to pick a UG since school doesn't allow us to join Clubs.
Somehow, I picked SJAB. Why? I have no idea.
At first, the NCO were friendly.
They kept smiling and encouraging us.
Played games with us,
and taught us with much patience.

As the days go by, the seniors got fiercer and fiercer.
They showed us the face they never shown before
And started punishments.
I realised,
My Life in a UG started.
For real this time.

Week after week, the cycle was the same.
Fall in, Drills, First Aid, PT
With scoldings and punishments in between.
I remember when I first heard the phrase 'Whole lot, KNOCK IT DOWN!'
I never thought this day would come.
The Sergeants were always so kind before.

Then, came their POP.
We bid our trainers goodbye and welcome new trainers.
They weren't any more kinder.
We got drilled, pumped and scolded,
Week after week, by our new trainers.

The day came : Our BFA.
Filled with mixed emotions,
The squad went to the HQ for the first time.
Took the test and everything
Followed by a round of scoldings by Sir,
Our standard was just not good enough.

Somehow or other,
All of us managed to pass the test.
We earned our Private Rank.
We finally got our uniform.
Excitedly, I ran home with the new uniform,
Pestering my mum to sew the Flash on.

Training with uniform was different.
It was weird, in fact.
The shoe was kind of slippery
And it hurt our ankles.

Then, Sir came and told us this:
"We're going for FAC."
The squad was like
"What? But.. We're just Standard Ones!"

Our training schedule got packed.
Very packed.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays,
And even during holidays.
Day after day,
We were trained by our Sir

Selaku, Slow March, Hormat, Pandang
We learnt all these new drills.
We practised.
We learnt
And we got scolded

Comp Trainings was packed,
but strangely enjoyable.
It gave me something I'll never think I'll have,
An interest in Foot Drills.

Since Comp Trainings isn't CIM,
We got a little slack.
We trained without uniform,
We got off with most of our mistakes
And I guess I took them for Granted.

Organised trainings was over,
But our squad think it's not enough.
We have self training every week.
And we had lots of fun.
The trainings soon are over,
And so is the year.

2010 January 1 - January 8

A new year came and school started.
CCA started, and Comp training began, once again.
We learnt TOC and I was in fact, loving it quite alot.
Then, without knowing, CIM also started,
The Punishments came back.
I was doubting my choice of CCA,
And was thinking of quitting.

I wasn't happy with my CCA.
In fact, I hated it.
But it was so very enjoyable (except for the punishments)
I know I would miss everything if I quit
But I know I'll enjoy it more when I quit.

The decision is about to be made.
To quit, or not to quit.
That is the question.

I am downloading anime but has no more space?

Downloading anime comes at a price. You can see your disk space going down. down. and down. So obviously, the price is more hard drives. I can somehow see myself either crying due to no space, crying due to lagging or crying due to my money flying away in the near future.

So, today, BCOtaku here, which usually doesn't give a damn about how much space he's got left is worried. Why is he worried you ask? Take a look at the picture below.
Oh wait. Blogger's been screwin with the image uploader, so click on the pictures to get a better view.
But don't get distracted by the moesome girl having one of her moements

Yea, you might say I've still got 132GB left. What's the big deal. there's still quite alot, right?
Now take a look at what I'm torrenting.
Once again, click on the picture. No moe girls this time



See? Do the maths and you'll see how I'm worrying. Probably gonna spend all of my money on an internal hard drive + enclosure or an external hard drive.
Any idea where they sell internal hard drives and enclosure in Tampines? I'm the Isumi typed person that get lost easily that's why I don't want to leave Tampines. Or tell me which shop in Sim Lim/Funan can be trusted, coz I've never been there before.
Good luck to me.

What? Today is the start of the new year?

Erm. yeah. So starting today, it's 2010. But I didn't realise it until someone said "Happy New Year" to me awhile ago. I was like "What New Year?"
So it's the New Year. Everybody had fun celebrating it? I didn't. I have to help out at my parent's store as usual.
2009 had been an interesting year, I've met many new (and often weird) people. It's also the year I officially became a Secondary School Student. Let's not mention it's also the year where I have to go for compulsory CCA and I somehow picked SJAB. Oh wait. I mentioned it. Let's leave it like that.
So, a list of things that happened to me in 2009 that is worth (and not worth) mentioning

• Started studying in CCHMS


• Bought a MacBook


• Grown Taller


• Joined SJAB


• Get more active online


• Started loving ecchi. Don't look at me like that. I only started liking ecchi this year.


• Went to AFA09.


• Love Lion by May'n


• Got 1.5k posts on OMF


• Became an Admin in CCHMSJAB Forum


• Is the only non NCO admin.


• Hated CCA more than before.


• Get more exposed to Otaku in Singapore. Although only a *little* more.

Is not looking forward to 2010. Because it's the year where the Nightmare Camp AKA JNCO Camp is going to take place for me. Also the streaming year. Have to study harder.
But other than that I guess 2010 is fine. I'll be looking forward to 2011 more, since it's the time I become an NCO and get to scold people. Well, provided that I survived 2010 first.

Plan for 2010 is to live. Yes. To live through the year. Also maybe buy some stuff, my first figure perhaps? But have to make sure there is a place to display her (or him) first.

So, what's the first 3 manga I read this year?

1. Black Lagoon

It's also the last Manga I read last year. I was finishing it up yesterday and before I knew it, it's 2010.

2. Mayoi Neko Overrun!

It's the new manga by Kentaro Yabuki. The artist of TLR. It's really nice. Give it a shot.

3. Mahou Sensei Negima.

Just finished chapter 275 before I wrote this. It's epic. Mana made an appearance. No more spoiler for you.

So that's it. First post of the year. Happy New Year evryone!

X'mas, What's that? O.O

-6.15am-

*Ring...*
hmm? Waa?
*Opens eye*

Ehh? What's that?..
*pokes*
It's soft..
...Ehh?
*Sit up*
Hmm?

Oh Shana, it's you. Good morning..

Hahas. This is pretty much what happened in Christmas morning yesterday..
Woke up at 6.15am to help up at my parent's stall. They said that they are expecting alot of customers since it's X'mas.
There goes my Christmas =x
At least the first thing I see is Shana's.. err.. pettan chest ^^;

A week of my Life 2

Here's it.

So i guess My week is kinda normal, except that i visited my grandma at the hospital more often this Week. She fell down and broke her arm and leg. She just had an operation on her leg and thank Haruhi that she is fine already.
Nothing much this week except for Drama Nite rehearsal. But i'll go over the rehearsals on another post together with the actual Drama Nite soon.
So, pictures time.




The above is my breakfast at i forgot which day. Soft boiled eggs with kaya toast. Recently fallen in love with soft boiled eggs. <33

===School, so no photos===

Back from school and had dinner at Ajisen Ramen in Tampines Mall before going to the hospital. Had cha-shu Ramen and some fried squid thingy. Doesn't taste bad, but i won't say that it taste very nice.

Walked to the hospital. Apparently, my grandma's fine already, so she's recuperating (did i spell it correctly?) in a lil' recuperating centre inside the hospital. Went there only to find out that she went to another hospital to do something. So, I just stayed in the cafeteria of the recuperating centre while waiting for her to be back. The nurse said she'd be back in 20minutes. I bought a can of iCafe Vanilla coffee and i loved it. Gotta find out if any shops near my house is selling it. Mum bought hot coffee.
The dustbin in the Cafeteria. Filled to the brim yet no one's here to clear it yet. And it's suppose to be a hospital, where everything is (supposedly) clean.
The lone store of the cafeteria. Not sure if i could still call it cafeteria. Sells drinks and baos.
Reception counter of the recuperating centre. No one's there. And no, they are not hiding behind the pillar.
See, they are really not hiding behind the pillar. What if people needs help? Who do the approach? The cafeteria lady?
The coffee mum bought. Looks like poo and taste like poo.
So after waiting forever, my grandmother is finally back. Apparently, my aunt called some ambulance service to bring her back. She said that they were speeding like there was no tomorrow. There's my aunt paying the ambulance fee.

More ramen for dindins (another day of course) this time, it's Tontoro Ramen. From the little japanese i can understand, it apparently is pork stomach? Or the mean somewhere around there? Taste like normal meat though. i got ripped off?
This time, Side dish is fried tofo thingy. Not bad.

Err.. my week is pretty much like that. Nothing much. Next week's "A week of my Life" is about Drama Night , SJAB on Friday and CCHMS open House entirely (because that's how I spent my week.) So, no "A week of my life" next week.

A week of my life 1

I ran out of ideas on what to write in my blog, so I decided to write this, a week of my life. Basically as it suggest on the tin, I'll be writing about my weekly life.. not too interesting I guess, since i'm not some famous people or somethin and I'm not exactly doing different things every week. So i think you'll see pretty much the same things every week. Bear with it. I swear it'll get more interesting soon.

So, this week is just like any other week except that i finally got my results back. Luckily I did not fail any subject. Well, I had never failed anything before...
Lol..

First up, since it's post exam activities time, We go to school a little later than usual (although only for one day). At the bus stop at about 9.30 am. The bus above has plenty of passengers on it. But the photo doesn't really shows it.
Boarded bus 10 and took it all the way to school. Trip took about 45 minutes. On the bus, I realised that where the first aid kit was kept in has a sign that was placed wrongly. Funny. Wonder what would people do if they are really that er.. to put it nicely.. does not recognize what the cross symbol means.

A few stops before Katong shopping center, a few foreigners wanting to board the bus, but does not know which bus to board, so they sent someone up the bus to ask the bus driver. Apparently the bus was going their way and they all clambered onto the bus. I got off the bus a few stops later and walked to school.




===No Pictures in School===

So school's over and I took the bus home.

Had lunched at the coffee shop near my house . I had the Mini Wok Noodles. It cost me $3.80. It had some balls made of animal meat and some other stuff floating around.

Went to school the next day. There's CCA so I'll have to bring my Uniform (actually the pants since I does not have the shirt yet). I brought the giant uniform cover and my bag that's stuffed with my shoes and training materials onto the bus. Blurry picture coz bus was moving suddenly.

Around 6.15 in the morning. No cars on the road.
Reached school at around 6.40am, surprising how bright a place can get in just 25 minutes.
Same road, about half a day later, at 19 00hrs . Still can see the sun.
Same road, except now facing the other way. The body at the bottom left of the pictures belongs to Li Jun, one of my squadmates.(realised that it sounds like he's dead. lol.)

The supermart near my bus stop. Used to be called K-Store but somehow changed the already stupid name to something even more stupid - Green Begger Supermart.
Similarly, less than half an hour later, it has gotten so dark already. But at least the lights brighten it up.I wonder how many figures can I buy if all of these lights were turn off for 1 week.
The bus stop at night. Only one person in sight.
Bright lights as signs for places too.
Random fury of lights
Helping my mother out at her stall. Saw lotsa leeks. Do you think Miku would like it here?
Dinner consist of take away roast dead animals.
And weird soup with things floating in it.
The sauce that comes along with it looks weird too.Lol at the headlines. Military Blasts Proposed Pea lol.




Lol so that's it for this week.

Life as a SJAB Cadet 1

Today, after receiving the news that CCA is returning this Friday, I really wish I could skip it. I mean, it's after the exams and a day before the holidays.. and they still want to torture us? They think we are masochist or something? And to make things worse, we have to spend our holidays having training! A total waste of time IMO. But.. This is life and I can't deny that I don't like CCA and want to skip it, but skipping CCA would means that I would have to hand in a letter of absence.. I don't have an excuse to do so ==" Maybe one of you want to act as my parent and help me write the letter? ><"

But, I realized that I haven't do anything I was supposed to do. I remembered that I was told to cut a piece of card or something to be place inside my beret to hold up the crest or something.

The piece of card that I cut. No prize for guessing what card it is.

My beret after placing in the card

Also, I must polish my shoes ==" Waste of time much? Yes, but NCOs demands polishing.

My shoes after polishing. Shiny? Not so.

Sigh. Countdown till Physical and Mental torture time? 1.5 days. Good luck to me!

Why I hate CCA

Lately, I've been complaining alot about CCA returning. Seriously, why bother with CCAs? I don't see a need to have them. I think know I can live longer without the weekly 4 hours worth of scolding ...

In case non of you know what my CCA is, it's called the St. John's Ambulance Brigade. I am a not-so-proud cadet of the Brigade. I don't have anything against the Order , but I don't like training that's for sure. It's so predictable.

1. Fall in in Muftee/Full uniform

2. Get scolded for taking too long.

3. Do parade.

4. Get scolded for not saying pledge loud enough/ not saying pledge

5. Do drills

6. Get scolded for not doing drills perfectly

7. Get dehydrated due to being unable to drink water 'coz NCO doesn't allow

8. Run to New Block for First aid

9. Get scolded for not greeting a NCO while seeing her while we are running. No, we didn't saw

her. It's her fault to walk so far away from us and expecting us to see her.

10. Get scolded for reaching new block late and not falling in properly out classroom.

11. Do first aid

11.5 May or may not get scolded for sucky bandaging/screwing around.

12. Told to change into PT Kit.

13. Get scolded for not being able to change in time.

14. Do PT/ CPR practice.

15. Get scolded for not pumping properly/ not running fast enough.

15 (ver.2) Get scolded for not doing CPR up to standard.

16. Fall in again

17. Parade again

18. Get released home late

Above all is done in 4 hours (theoretically, but it usually takes 4.5~5 hours) .

Come on, who the hell would be able to live to 80 if they have to endure 4 hours + worth of scolding every week and physical torture. And working in an environment without energy booster AKA Manga, Anime, Anisongs,forums,sleep,food , I can hardly go for 1 hour.. and those NCOs and ICs are expecting us to go on for 4 hours? Blasphemy!

No more CCA, Please!!

Everything's (probably) Okay : Not so Daily Progress Journal!
==== Begins NOW! ====

So, today's Saturday. Fun? Not so. As usual, I'm being bored to death at either the market or at home. So, what do I do? Make use of the time and complete my DoS. And. I completed it. Now I'm back to the state of boredom. It is at this time when you wish that the SOS brigade exists. The Save the World with an Overdose of fun - Suzumiya Haruhi Brigade.
I want an overdose of fun in MY World.. in Watashi no Sekai ...

Sometimes, I sincerely do wish that this world is more interesting.. I believe everyone would wish the same thing too. Why do people create entertainment? Because, the world is boring. Why do people watch them? Because the world is boring. Manga, anime, cartoons, porn,hentai, dramas - Why are the made? Because, their creators wish that their world is actually like that. Magic, Dragons, Ultra High technology - People write about them because they WANT their world to be like that. If the world is interesting enough, nothing would be invented.

Sigh.. looks like this is not my Progress Journal, but my Complain About the World log already eh?.

Soo... EoY are just round the corners. I must buck up!! But.. I cannot resist the temptation of manga and anime...And my darling darling OMF.. Sigh.. i just can't bear to leave Eveonder, Bethhy, Meme, Saku, CVI,Chi-U, Eger, Oji-con and the rest alone TT

Sigh.. Oh well. Live's just torturous.

25 September 2009


After so long, The Great Ryo-sama (note the capital letters) finally decided to swim from the ocean of Youtube videos back to my Updates about life (not that i can swim, but oh well).
So, today, 1JT had the almost impossibly easy Chinese lesson. We learnt lesson number 31, smth about 民歌. it's so ridiculously easy that even the Great Ryo-sama has no problem reading it (assuming you know that my power in chinese is over [Negative] 9000)
Also, after school, since there is no CCA (*squeals* Kyah!!~ yay!`) today, i asked Yu Xiang to bring me to Kinokuniya, coz i wanted to see if they sell Negima volume 28 (limited Edition). Why? BECAUSE IT FRIGGIN COMES WITH NEGI"S ARTIFACT!!!



SEE??! Sexy right!!

Lol.. I'm surprised.. It's like senpai has no sense of shame, either that, or he is serious about it. About what you ask?
Whenever he saw a picture of Haruhi Suzumiya AKA God, he would suddenly stop in his tracks and do a Nazi Salute.
Silly? I tried to stop him, but.. he still insisted on doing it.
A picture of the Great Haruhi can be seen below.



Sigh.. Seems like my life's full of interesting people eh?

ACME

Went to ACME with Jared and Senpai yesterday. Although it is not really fun or whatever, it is funny. Senpai went thr, and realised that he does not have enough money to buy anything , so he decides to settle with 2 magazine, Megami and Comptiq, but can only buy Comptiq. Why? Coz, this month's Megami is restricted to 18+ Haha!! and he was so looking forward to it!!

Not so daily Progress Journal! : Everything's probably getting better!

15/7/09
Last night, I slept for a mere 2 hours, from 1am to 3am, so I am really tired today. And surprisingly, the 2 hours sleep replenished enough energy to last me to 4.30 in the afternoon, when I almost fainted due to no sleep + sick =x Bleh =P
Tomorrow need to go school already, since MC expire (right word ma?) on 16/7... Sigh and while I was away, there are some complete retards in the class that spam the classblog under my name.. screw them..

Hi all ^^

Ryo's back in control!!~

Lol.. soo..

10/7/09

Today's a friday as all of you all know, so it means that

1 - Tomorrow is Saturday , a Holiday

2 - No need to see Wang Wei according to the time table (Yay!!)

So , since we don't get to see Wang Wei, it means that the day's way more relaxing and fun than usual, which is really true , since this day passes surprisingly fast.

And, as usual, loads of homework (/ waiting for Jared/Leon to bash me up) and a short 2 day weekend break. Sigh.. what can I do? not as though complaining is gonna do me anything.

Although it is really good that we do not get to see Wang Wei today, but there is not gonna be any One Piece this week!! OMG!! Yes!! No One Piece!! Noooo!! And.. There's gonna be no Negima next week to make this worse.. And this is not all... There's still no D Gray Man updates yet..

Yay!~ Rainbows~

hehe.. I am so happy... i am just getting depressed over how much homework i have left and suddenly i realised that the sky was ridiculously red. So, i went to the window and..OMG There's a rainbow!!I was faint, but it seriously cheered me up. Though it did nothing to my homework... Sigh JYJY!
