currently listening to: 桜色舞うころ [Mika Nakashima]

before i attempt to search for hackers who would assist me in hacking into that idiotic w-inds. site who refused to let me gained access into their 'members only' area despite me having signed up 3 times already, i shall recap on the events that had happened today.

probably the last day when most of us will ever step into ACJC again, we decided to try again for a class outing after the 2nd Founder's Day celebration (TORTURE!) before we vanish from one another's sight when the dreaded term starts. i think most of us really felt the need to at least leave behind some fond memories that we can boast about and say, "hey! i went on a class outing with my 1AD2 ACJC classmates before!" when we enter our new colleges or classes. this probably explains why we manages to break the 'single-digit' attendance barrier for class outings this very day (err.. yesterday. whatever).



i must say i kinda regret leaving so early since i was later informed that i had, in fact, missed out on a ton of funny stuff that happened after the movie. apparently kenneth (master pon-ner) decided to come for the class outing after all and he was, of course, sabo-ed into drinking some sort of concoction that my classmates brewed as a forfeit in the number game. they actually FORCED him to say the number. haha. maybe i shouldn't have left early. *sigh*

oh and before the movie, we had lunch and this really funny scenario surfaced and i couldn't help but RECORD THE WHOLE PROCESS with my handy camera.

THE EYE-DROP LESSON *rolls on the floor laughing*



private joke private joke. i think bryan was already a little pissed off when i recorded the whole process so i shan't continue humiliating the poor guy in front of the whole world. *wahahaha* but just to share a little...



i think this must be one of the more successful class outings, considering that there were 10 people who turned up and those who didn't mostly had valid reasons. thinking back, the previous class outing at KBox...





haha. they said that minghui kept hogging the mike so we were determined not to EVER step into KBox for a class outing since we would simply be paying money to watch minghui perform. not to mention having to endure Jasmine's continued laughter at our not-so-good singing. hilarious. *wahahha* there was another place where we were adamnant not to go to again as well. we were unwilling to pay money for a game of pool and watch cavell single-handedly clear the table instead. *cocks an eyebrow*

i can safely say now that i am glad i didn't continue to isolate myself from the class like i did during the first few days of school. these 3 months in ACJC may not have been exactly SENSATIONAL for me like it was for some others, but at least i have some fond memories to feed my mind with when i finally leave the college when this term is over.

like the way we always feel left out during history lectures since the lecturer was the tutor of almost every other class in the LT except for US. and the way we always become so nervous when we realized that there was actually Econs homework that we had forgotten to complete. and how we were SOOO irated when the trainee teacher sat in for Marhaini's lesson and resulted in her giving us a hell of a time during the whole tutorial. not to forget our 'unique-smelling' EL3 classroom, which aircons had to be gently reminded to work once every five minutes. and the awfully torturous Founder's Days that we sat through (around 8 hours in all, 2 celebs).

and the way we tried ways and means to pon PE lessons and ended up having Mark Ng supervising us like a hawk on the very last physical conditioning period. and also the formation of the 'chicken rice' gang who sat down during lunch every day to enjoy their plates of chicken rice even though the queue is so damn long. of course there was also the 'very humorous' AO Math Teacher, Mr Tan, who never fails to send us into laughing fits by going waaayy out of point every lesson, without even realising it. also, Mr Eka Tanu, whom Andrina strongly favours, and Mr Sam Ng, whom Viknesh detests (ok, maybe i'm exaggerating here) since the lessons perpetually send us nodding off into dreamland with our eyes opened wide (i can do it!). and how can i ever forget GP tutor Ms Susan Toh, who was branded the most boring and queer teacher we've ever encountered (mumbling to herself to lessons and cracking jokes that might have been funny if we could actually HEAR it). and Mrs Tan, whose lessons were actually quite relaxing since we always find ways to crap with her during Chinese periods. plus i personally feel Ms Gloria Chan is a super weird teacher who gets very agitated whenever she is raising a minor point during IH tutorials *cocks an eyebrow*, then crack a joke that we would usually take quite a few minutes to realize that we were suppose to laugh at it.

of course there were private jokes that were shared between the few groups of us. the most celebrated one would be the 'couple' whose relationship blossomed during the first few weeks of school, and the physical separation when Chris had to leave for Melbourne for foundation studies, while Shi Ying stayed on in AC (they are still in contact *clap*clap*). and how can i forget the Circle Of Trust?? haha. this i can't tell. i am supposed to be a TRUSTED member. *wahahaha*

close friends? maybe not exactly close, but we can get along fairly well and there are certain things that we talk about in private too. i must say that Shu Ying and Minghui have played an important role during my first 3 months in AC since their presence ensured that i wouldn't be lonely during my stay there =). i can still remember the cross-country where we laughed ourselves silly at Yonghan and Bryan for apparently being... 'auntie', as Ming Hui described. *wahhaha*

Shu Ying, especially, make me very amused at her frequent visits to the toilet as a result of her frequent sips from her water bottle, such that i named her... the water tank. i helped her refilled her bottle during the start of recess and barely approaching the end of the break, she is out of water again?? and that was a rather big bottle too. *rolls on floor laughing* and i'm sure she'll say 'i'm sure' at this. Sure-ying. *hahahah*

*sigh* it has been nice staying in ACJC, especially in 1AD2. but i have to say that the difference in culture and way of looking at things differ considerably, and i cannot visualise myself making my way through all these differences for the next 2 years. not to mention that it is too far, literally. so i guess i gotta move on to a place that better suits me~~

till we meet again, 1AD2.
