VICTORY!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's true, it's official and it's for REAL, we did won the JGs -- WE ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS.

Yesterday's debate was, at the least, nerve-wrecking. Historical precedent had shown that we did not really have a good record against ACS. So basically we went into the debate being very nervous and for me, being VERY SCARED. Even our prep looked quite shaky, our substantive cases only came out on thursday night. But during the debate, i was pretty calm(except b4 my speech). Junyi, shang and I stuck together as a team and did wat we planned to do. And well, it paid off. so we won 4-1 split. but it was close.

Then i got best speaker of the tournament. Now this came a real shock. REAL SHOCK. my scores for prelims werent even that high. But well, i guess they were good enough. Me is so happy. Me is so thankful.

Yesterday was also the last time we ever worked together as a team. So we were all very sentimental. Hence, i wanna plonk this thank ppl list here:
1. Thanks to junyi and shang, u ppl are great teammates and it was real fun working wif u all. Even more fun kicking ass with u all. hahah, hope we get to work as a team again in the future. DAMN IT WAS FUN
2. Terence and ajit, u ppl were great reserves. Terence ur research and crossfiring stuff really really helped. And ajit, thanks for taking all the shit from us, it takes a real big heart and lots of commitment to the team to do wat u do. Thanks a lot.
3. Thanks chenseong, thanks for helping us and leading us to victory. U are a damn good coach and an even nicer guy. Big big big thank you to u.
4. Thanks all the seniors who came down to help us in one way or another. thanks tim, sheng, jon, kitson, yixun, yihua, ben, preet.
5. thanks to the teachers, thank you mrs neo and mrs smith for all the support u gave us throughout this tourney.
6. thanks team 2, imran, nav, zul, jon, gautam. thanks for helping us and supporting us all the way.
7.this may seem a bit like an anti-climax, but thanx elango for letting us use the rooms this obsence times.

well, it seems quite sad. my career in sec school is over. it was so bloody fun. i wanna live it all over again. hopefully when i move on, it will be fun as well. as for the juniors, it is your turn now, U ARE THE FUTURE NOW. and unlike wat yixun said, the future looks bright. go on and win back all that our batch has lost.

this is basically all that i feel like typing, though i fell like saying a lot more. so for now, bye bye.

French Capitalism: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

German Capitalism: You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

Italian Capitalism: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.

You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows.

Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.

Real Capitalism: You don't have any cows.
The bank will not lend you money to buy cows, because you don't have any cows to put up as collateral.

Environmental Capitalism: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking them.

2004-04-13T22:18:00.000+08:00

this week has been probably more slack than last week but here is a summary of wat has happened to me until now:

1. The Weights
i was sick and tired of being bullied(physically that is DUH) by my classmates and since i maybe i was bored as well, i decided to do weights. so i got a 6kg dumbbell and did bicep curls 200 times. ya maybe i was a bit stupid when i was doing that esp since i told myself i shall do it till my hand doesnt become numb. but anyway on the brighter side, i can see effects. for one thing i cannot extend my arm fully at the elbow bcoz of DOMS(delayed sumthing muscular spasms) yeah.
maybe i will do it again once the DOMS go away. see first lah

2. PI
it was the same as usual, full of shit, lame and they were all making empty promises. anyway, one difference was the senthil was sitting near us sec 4s for some time, in his words for a -"special effect"-, so whenever some screw up happened, we just looked at him as if asking for an explanation. poor him, he just smiled, i mean wat else could he do.
i shouted during the PI. it was probably at the worst time ever. coz everyone suddenly went silent to listen to wat auyong had to say, and i shouted "freaking extra". a lot of ppl heard it. and for those who didnt there was the asshole vishal telling them, with only one intention i.e. to get into trouble. he is a damn big bitch lah, i hate him. (i join the hate vishal gang, which by now has a lot of ppl)

3. Lesson and tests
well just had a geog test until now, i and screwed it up big time. i feel so depressed, i tot i should have done well for that. but wtv lah, like owl said - "its just a test, why u all so KS"

4. New Position
i was recently made english rep. after jasbir sacked nigel. he was too irresponsible and "not doing a good job". lucky for me nigel ponned school that day, if not he would have really whacked me up. this position is damn boring lah, no one wants to hand in their work, some ppl have already handed it in to her and i am basically useless. but nvm, at least i get to do sumthing, that is read the chinamens's compo. (shit that was damn bad)

yeah basically thats it for this week, just read the jokes below:
AJIT'S JOKEBOOK

1. What is White and Sticky
ans : A white stick

2. A termite into a bar, is the bartender. (bar tender, termite, geddit?)

3. A man walks into a bar, OUCH

4. There are 3 types of ppl in this world, those who can count and those who can't

5. 5 out of 3 ppl have trouble handling fractions

2004-04-09T00:41:00.000+08:00

i tot that i was going to be the master blaster on the net, but looks like someone has already beaten me to it.

to the person out there, pls dont try to use big words, it doesnt help.
1. it obfuscates the already very skewed point of view that u are trying to put across.
2. it makes u look more imbecilic than u already are.
3. it makes us more pissed than we already are
4. and it makes us wonder why u have a dictionary in front of ur monitor everytime u are publish a post on ur blog

and oh ya, b4 u make any ludicrous, untenable and utterly immature comments on anyone's debating ability or sexuality or looks or personality, pls make sure u double check ur facts, reveal ur sources and prepare for a furore. expressing opinion and criticizing are one thing, but wat u do is open blasting and getting personal.

lastly, the next time u EVER think of making such comments about either me or my teammates, u better watch out. and remember, reach shang's standard first, then insult him.

2004-04-02T00:21:00.000+08:00

okay, a summary of the things that happened to me until now in this week:

1. The Great Bear Fiasco
okay here goes, all the Sec 4s were given a bear and a file as a gift for their hardwork in the RI Minds carnival. well so i exchanged my file for another bear with modi and since conrad wanted the bear very much and he wasnt going to get it(for ponning the carnival) i sold it to him lah.

well then, in lunch time brendan(i think dunno the guys name) threw his bear away onto the road, i picked it up and jon kang wanted to buy it. so i helped junyi sell that one.

and lastly, hao tian gave me his bear, and ajit bought it from me. i shall keep all the prices a secret.

well then guess wat i found, I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO SELL THOSE BEARS. well then wat could i do, i reversed the process lah.

sad, the only time my enterpring skills come into play, i get screwed for it. damn sad

2. Me the private investigater
Okay fine, this is got sumthing to do with the first one. Our class has 35 ppl and we got 35 bears. but 4 guys who ponned the carnival were not supposed to get the bears. but in the end we only had 2 extra bears. so ong wai ling made me and vishal "detectives" to find out who took the other 2 bears. her reasoning, 1. coz we tok too much and 2. coz we were selling the bears. like WTH

anywayz, here is the catch. she said that if we cannot find the guys who did it, she will call our parents to tell them of all the selling and stuff we did.

so i tried to question a few guys and stuff like that, but couldnt find out who the hell it was (i mean like DUH right, no one will confess). so me vishal and giri decided to donate our bears to replace the ones that are missing but she said "NO, it is not the bear, it is the principle behind it. I dont want an Enron style cover-up". well yes, i am still trying to figure out where in damned oblivion those cursed things went to, and to the person who took it FOR GOD'S SAKE RETURN THE THING, and please let this incident die down.

3. Me the feared one
okay, i just realised that i have made a reputation for myself amongst the ruggers. i am the last person they want to meet after they have lost a match. apparently after all the snide remarks and rude comments i made to them for losing all the time for the last 3 years have made some of them HATE me and (evident from wat i hear) some of them F E A R me. here is examples:

A. a rugger whom i dont know, in junyi's class, said this
"wah shit lah, arjun is going to be damn miserable. suhas is going to swann him like mad and make fun of him like crazy. i feel damn sad for him"

B. arjun said this:
"eh i am damn surprised u havent said anything about our loss yesterday, damn amazing"
well wat could i tell him, besides "arjun i noe u have trained hard and i dun wanna make fun of u guys"

okay ruggers, the reason i stopped making fun of u guys are such:
(i) i finally noe how it feels to lose
(ii) i noe u guys trained hard and u played ur best and u guys are sad, so there is no point being an asshole and rubbing it in
(iii) we might lose to cat high and get knocked out. hence i did not want to make a super-jag out of myself
(iv) i was really touched by the support some of u guys showed for us

so if u still have any memories of me making fun of u guys, i am really really sorry and i will try not to be a prick in the future.

4. 2.4 km Jog/walk
yes, i used the walk part and practically walked the whole thing. timing was 18:42 (this is when u laugh out loud and tag stuff on the board)

5. Ice-Cream Eating challenge
chere challenged me to an ice-cream eating contest. date yet to be fixed. results will be blogged later.

hmmmm, basically that is all that i have to say lah. cya ppl later and dont look for me if u want bears, i am not selling anymore, ciao

2004-03-29T21:40:00.000+08:00

the fixtures for the quarters are out, and for one thing, the competetion just got VERY MUCH tougher.

on a lighter note, first day of school was damn tiring. was fighting a vicous battle to keep awake in dcuz's class, but i prevailed and i managed to pay attention(kinda). i did pretty well for my bio test as well, at least that starts the term on a high note. HOWEVER, i will be getting the damned differentiation test tomolo, and i noe i was massacred for it. i go and sleep now leh, damn tired.

once again, the competetion just got very much tougher.

2004-03-28T11:29:00.000+08:00

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN

school is starting, term 2 is beginning. wat else can i say. once again the never ending cycle of lesson, homework, assignments and -YUCK- tests is beginning.
sigh, this is one of the few times that this template really sums up all my feelings.

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN

sorry people but thats all that i have to say

2004-03-27T15:50:00.001+08:00

i just had a realisation, i have in the words of imran - "shit load of work to do in a shit amount of time".

screw man i still have to do the following-
1 bio assignments
phy essay questions
1 lit paper
6 geog ws

the only thing that can save me from getting screwed right now is divine intervention, and it may seem ironicaly but this phrase sums up my mood - "HOLY SHIT"

2004-03-26T11:56:00.000+08:00

JGs quarterfinals results:
1. CHIJ Toa Payoh 3 Wins
2. NYGH 3 Wins
3. Raffles Institution 2 Wins
4. ACS(I) 2 Wins
5. TCHS 2 Wins
6. SCGS 2 Wins
7. Catholic High 2 Wins
8. MGS 2 Wins

Yes today was round 3. Once again all the drama, the politics and all those screwed up things that characterize the JGs. We went up against MGS, motion THBT Fast Food companies should pay compensation for damaging people's health, we were prop. It was a close debate, very close, both sides had many good points, good engagement rebuttals and blah blah blah and ....... of course innuendoes directed towards me. Well yes, we won 2-1 and Christine got best speaker (congrats and a job well done).

Then came the next two agonizing hours when we waited and waited in anticipation to find out whether we made it to the quarters or not. Of course we spent the time constructively doing homework (or copying homework in Imran's case). Yeah i got one quarter of a question done. anywayz thats besides the point.

So well yeah, we found out that we made it to the quarters. then someone started the cheering spree and we followed. probably the most touching moment of the day was when the rg girls approached us and asked if we wanted to do a combined spirit cheer. yes we did the combined spirit cheer and since it was chere's birthday we listened to her and did the unite as well. then the ri guys all formed a huddle and sung the school song, ah this wasnt such an inspiring moment especially since ajit made a joke out of it and decided to echo the rest of the guys. he did earn himself a headlock by shang and an elbow in the face by terence and a punch by gautam (i think) and all this was done during the song itself. yes i noe its sad.

Anywayz, we are quite pumped up for the quarters and the morale is high. just hope we dont go up there are screw up big time and make mega jags out of ourselves.

okay fine bye, better go off to sleep now. must wake up for the MINDS carnival tomorrow. pls forgive all the grammar or spelling mistakes i might have made, wasnt really thinking when typing all this shit out.

adioles,
me

2004-03-25T17:53:00.000+08:00

hello people

after some real recalling work (to TRY to remember my HTML, which i was once so pro at) and a lot of help from ajit (THANX A LOT AJIT). the purpose of my putting up this blog, to convey my feelings and reach out to a wider audience or simply as i told navjote - to blast people on a wider stage. so if u think u are one of those vulnerable ones or u have seen stuff here abt u that u dint like - then i am sorry but SUE ME.

yeah well, thats a good start to pursue my ambitions.

anywayz, its damn damn late and i really need to get back to work. so i'll post more stuff later.
