GIRLS RETAIL THERAPY SESSION

Tracee here by the way. With beautiful photos! (: Just koped the entire chunk off my blog.

Guys, be jealous! We obviously had so much fun together.

Don't ask me why the lighting turned out like that. But Fung does look quite mysterious here.

Shum likes porcupines a lot! (: It's actually a CD case.

Yingtse, Lyly and Mr Brushes.

This is for you, Lee Yang. Every gold item that we saw reminded us of you.

Oli looks really cute here!

Junhua with the necklace that Yingtse so masterfully picked. (Yingtse's very proud of herself, of course.)

I like this photo! (: Both look quite cool here.

How could we not indulge in some neoprint taking! It was fun as usual.

Look at all of us crowding around the machine watching the pictures being decorated...

The neoprint designers. Haha and both in stripes.

YAY. JTF photo!

Hmm. For the observant few, spot something common.

This is a nice pose. (: It was a pretty spontaneous shot though.

This picture seriously rocks. All of us standing in a straight line. And everyone at the MRT station was staring at us!

Guess the owner of each shoe!
Oh yes, we were suggesting a contest. If any one can label each shoe correctly, they will win a mystery prize! Start from the middle shoe at the bottom and go in a clockwise direction.

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Everyone's gonna hate me for this...

PW oral presentation slides need to be submitted in soft copy (burned into a cd)tomorrow. They need to be the exact slides you're using on the day itself. That pink form has to be filled and handed in too.

Anyway, I watched The Prestige over the weekend. It's a REAL GOOD SHOW, so those who haven't should go catch it. Oh, and guess what? That movie's M18 over here in Malaysia!?! But of course, they're pretty lax about the rules...

Leeyang and Junhong Productions presents...

Starring:
Kenneth as NEO
Jay as MORPHEUS
Jac Yeo as THE ORACLE
Auggie Wong as AGENT SMITH
Protector Chia as SERAPH
Shijia as PSYCHIC KID
Ruiyi and Jianyang as MORPHEUS' SIDEKICKS

-------------------------------------------------------------

Jay:
School. It is the quintessential bane of every student, yet the most potent tool of the MOEtrix. Mindless multitudes enraptured in their false alternate reality, captivated by the allure of endless mugging. All are victims of conformity to the MOEtrix, intellectually stifled by its regulations, losing sight of the real world.

Kenneth:
Huh? (blank look) You talk cock ah?

Jay:
NORR! Aiyah I show you.

They walk toward the school gate.

Jay:
This. (points to gate) appears to be a normal gate; cold, metallic, unfeeling. But what it really is, is a portal to the MOEtrix, a perpetual trance-like state the masses are forced to submit to. It is simultaneously the backbone of this society, and the firewall of the MOEtrix. It is a façade, a veneer, a calculated front, a FABRICATION, made to restrain and imprison those (points at students)...noobs based on its artifice.

Just as Jay finishes, a student walks through the gate.

Jay:
That...is the trance-like state i speak of. There are two ways to get out of the system: The green slip or the white slip.

Jay hands the two slips to Kenneth.

Kenneth (reads out):
OCP...MC...

Jay:
The green one allows you to traverse the MOEtrix and leave it at will. The white one gives you indemnity against the system. (nudges Kenneth) Take the green one.

Kenneth:
If I take the green one...can I get the white one free?

Jay:
......NORR!

Kenneth takes the OCP form.

As they leave the MOEtrix compounds, they pass by seemingly hypnotised masses.

"These," Jay explains, "are those whom we must save.

With the speed of a bus ride, they zoom out of the MOEtrix's grasp. Jay tells him more about the MOEtrix, and what he must do…but Kenneth receded into a temporal state of rest.

Kenneth (waking up):
Where...am I?

Jay:
(takes a breath)...Welcome to Coronation Plaza. This is where the real world is. We operate against the MOEtrix. Be wary; MOEtrix agents are amongst us, with the sole purpose of hauling us back into the system.

Suddenly, Jay grabs Kenneth and they duck behind a pillar.

Pang Peng Cheong walks past.

Jay:
.........Phew that was close.

They head on into a LAN shop.

Jay:
This is the antidote for the MOEtrix, a simulation of enjoyment, an emotion never existent in the MOEtrix.

Jay points to a computer. Its screen displays a DOTA game.

Jay:
Your training begins here.

Two hours later.........

Computer: M-m-monster kill!!

Kenneth (walking out of LAN shop triumphantly):
I..know..DOTA!

Jay (looking at OCP):
It's expiring! Quickly, we must head back into the MOEtrix, or risk its wrath.

Jay and Kenneth re-enter the MOEtrix. They walk by a bench labeled '06A13'.

Jay:
This is the Achilles' heel of the MOEtrix, where its devious servers have a weakened grasp on its victims. However, there are some who have become proficient in working in the MOEtrix. Like her. (points to Shijia)

Shijia (trance-like state, scribbling furiously).

Kenneth:
What's this? (Shijia scribbles so furiously her pen appears to bend)

Shijia (Unexpressedly):
It is not the pen that bends, but the mind.

Kenneth:
Huh?

Jay and Kenneth continue onward. They walk down a long corridor of doors.

Kenneth (reading aloud):
A205...A204...A203...

Jay:
We are here. (Opens door) I can show you the door, but you must enter it.

Kenneth enters the room. Jacqueline Yeo sits at the table marking scripts. Protector Chia stands solemnly behind her.

Jac Yeo (Without looking up from her papers):
I have been expecting you.

Kenneth:
Wah so pro ah. (turns to Jay) This is...The Oracle?

Jay (nods):
She is...The Guide.

Kenneth:
Why am I here?

Jac Yeo:
(prolonged pause)...Because it is so.

Kenneth:
Wahlaooo. When can I go home?

Jac Yeo:
...All things have to wait their hour.

Jac Yeo proceeds to give Kenneth a long lecture on the MOEtrix and his task.

Kenneth:
Damn sian..

(suddenly) Protector Chia:
Oracle, we must go.

Jac Yeo (nods):
Yes...we must.

Jac Yeo wishes Kenneth best of luck, before leaving hurriedly with Protector Chia.

The lights in the room flicker.

Sidekicks Ruiyi and Jianyang enter the classroom.

Kenneth:
Where'd they come from?

Jay:
...toilet.

The lights now flicker strongly, creating an imperceptible sense of dramatic foreshadowing, a certain indicator of imminent doom.

Kenneth:
Deja vu...

Jay:
What? F***! Cock up in the MOEtrix system.

Auggie enters.

Auggie (with a sinister smirk):
Kenneth Tan...we missed you...

Kenneth:
Huh? Got 'we' meh?

Auggie (flourishes a Duchess text and brandishes it wildly):
WE!

Kenneth:
Wait...I know who you are. We've met The Oracle.

Auggie:
Fie upon you, sir! The Oracle is too much in the light! Methinks she's forced to woo because none DARE woo her.

Kenneth:
Huh? She oso got scandal ah?

Auggie (condescendingly):
That's beneath you, Kenneth Tan. Your inferior intellectual capacity is no match for the heightened analytical prowess of my mental faculties. With my superior cerebral functioning, I can easily outmaneuver you with the devious means I conjure, eradicating all your chances of eluding the MOEtrix. (grows significantly agitated and flaps text wildly)

Meanwhile, Jay and two sidekicks discuss means of escape.

Auggie:
Jay, I suggest you pay me close attention. (grabs Jay) You...are coming with me.

Sidekicks:
Nooooooooooo...(lunge forward)

Auggie (yet another sinister smirk slips across his face):
Begone! (launches volley of Lit texts at them)

Ruiyi and Jianyang are overpowered.

Kenneth:
Nooooooooooo...(lunges forward)

Auggie:
Haven't you realised? Resistance is futile. (launches more Lit texts)

Initiate Bullet-Dodge sequence.

Auggie (stunned):
...You have some skill. (whisks Jay away)

Jay:
Nooooooooooo...(points at Kenneth) you noob!

Kenneth gives chase...all the way to the MOEtrix central control room, where departments are compartmentalized and categorized into their various functions in claustrophobic confines. The perpetuators of the MOEtrix stare suspiciously at the enraged Kenneth.

Kenneth:
Stop right there!

Auggie (turns around):
Do you not realize the magnitude of the impending repercussions of this audacious attempt at halting my intricate plans to ensure the smooth functioning of the MOEtrix?

Kenneth:
Your end is near.

Auggie:
I am top agent of the MOEtrix still.

In a valiant attempt to convolute the mental functioning of Kenneth, Auggie unleashes a violent array of bombastic vocabulary. With utmost panache and eloquence, Smith releases his torrential barrage of aggressive synonyms.

Auggie:
Subterfuge! Decadence! Misogynistic! Self-aggrandizement! Disparaging! Insidious! Inimical! Lycanthropic!

Kenneth winces at the shameless showcase of intellectual vibrancy.

Smith:
Do you feel your life force ebbing away from you?

Jay (struggles):
NORR! Free...your...mind!

Kenneth suddenly manages to completely break out of his trance-like state, just in time to see Smith hurl the weapon he was most well-versed in...his Duchess text, at him. Kenneth coolly raises his hand. The book stops in midair. Auggie is stunned, and watches helplessly as Kenneth directs the text out the window.

Auggie:
(O_O) (releases Jay) This isn't over! (Jumps out of window in pursuit of his beloved Lit text)

Kenneth helps Jay up. They hurry out of the building, amongst the curious eyes of the perpetrators of the MOEtrix. As they leave the MOEtrix, they pass the bench again. Shijia continues to scribble fervently. Her pen appears to bend.

Kenneth:
Indeed...it is not the pen that bends, but the mind.

They take a few more steps, before Kenneth eventually cannot help but ask Jay the question he has been pondering over.

Kenneth (to Jay):
Is it all...over?

Jay:
(ponders for a moment)...NORR!

To be continued...

Jay and Kenneth reach the school gate. Jay tugs at the gate. But it does not budge.

Jay (panicking):
NO! This can't be! We're locked in the MOEtrix! Agents must be coming! Quick, we need the keymaker!

Kenneth:
. . . Just press the button la you noob...

lyly was slamming guobin with a basketball today. nothing new but it's this kind of trivial affair that makes camping at the class bench a joy. =)

ha, lethargy has been hitting on most peop nowadays. I admit that I am one of those victims. Guess that the promo mugging was such a LIFE-drainer that the rest we r having now is just insufficient to compensate the loss of sleep we had then.. However, i am glad that my tiredness just wore off after reading jerryale's post.
Some things are always about 'mind over body'.

AEP peop are making some accessories to sell to the staff (still earning $ for europe trip). goodness, the theme for the staff dinner is 'red indians and cowboys'. hahahaha. i wonder who chose the theme. A student perhaps as it looks like a scam to ridicule all teachers. OMQ.

Hellooo guys. Am taking a break from pw presentation and thought perhaps i should hone my essay writing skills, in view of my brilliant composition marks.

Well, time has, as portrayed in many novels deemed to be literature, ephemerally passed, just as it had unknowingly came. The year 2006 has pretty much come to an end, marked by the passing of the promotional exam. let us mourn...ok thats enough.

I believe, for all of us, the promos were really a challenge. Faced with lacklustre blocks and CA results, most of us, at the very least, understood the importance of working hard for the final test, the final hurdle. Success begins with a thought. This thought, for many of us, translated into action. I saw many of us come to school purposefully, staying back in the reading room or various other 'conducive' environments to study. Others suddenly became hardpressed for time, studying while eating,shitting and sleeping. ok maybe not sleeping.

Unfortunately, some of us were not able to translate this last ditch superhuman effort of (urgh) mugging into fair results. While some of us were pleasantly surprised, others were in for a shock. The grief, the surprise, and the in-betweens were painted on all our faces, when the results were made known.

For those who received decent results, congratulations. However, i think more should be said to those who didn't (achieve the grades they wanted). A much-used phrase, almost to the point of saturation, comes to mind: really, the process is more important than the result. I think this is a pretty valid euphemism. All of us should give ourselves a pat on the back for surviving this period of mugging, and more importantly, having the courage and tenacity to even start the mugging process. Rather than concern ourselves with whether we mugged enough or not, and consequently whether we deserved our marks, i think we should instead be forward looking, and see this hurdle as a stepping stone for future improvement. The promos are, after all, just a small dot in the larger picture of life.

But really, if we liken school to prison - in light of our overflowing teenage angst - then now is the time where we prisonors are let out for that momentary sunshine - where we can, even if confined within the prison compound, go around with our spades and shovels, and like, do gardening or something. Rather than harp on the fact that we are still, without a doubt, in prison, make the best of it! Charlie Chaplin, as the everyman in Modern Times, enjoyed his time in school (ok, sorry, prison). Relax and pursue ur pasttimes during this well-deserved break! And try to forget the past year math promos papers, issues and ideas, history term paper, math lecture test... Hey, after all, that's nxt year's stuff. Worry about it nxt year! (=

Post more on the class blog k and don't forget all the exciting class and faculty events coming our way! We should banish the haze and set aside some time for class bonding and sports too! just as suggestion.

To Peiyu: Peiyu, the class will be behind you all the way in this period of uncertainty. Don't be too worried, ok? You've got 24 pairs of listening ears and company for support.

Regards,
Jerryale.

the person in the picture right above you now says....

hello oh my this is my first time updating here!

this is specially dedicated to the street netball team of a13 who participated in FOS. and this team consists of (in no particular order..)

shijia peiyu shum junhua lyly fungg yvonne yingdan and myself =)

all of you are my heroes! thank you for taking time and patience off to train for netball, when i have no idea what and how exactly to train, because it's a pretty tough game at least to me, especially the shooting style and footwork(which we didn't cover). i'm glad all of you are willing to try!=) even when we knew we had to face a very strong opponent team, none of you intiated a 'walkover', which was no surprise because i know we have lots of fighting spirit! thank you so much for the fight we put up during the 2 matches!

most importantly, thank you a13 supporters who were around! the cheers, especially for the first match, were booming and i think it placed great pressure on the opponents whom i could tell were quite fearful because their supporters lack fervor and volume(in all sense of the word)!

then.. i can't stop saying thank you. thank those people who helped me in a way or another when i was injured. oh my damn injury prone la. i bet guobin thinks i have tourette when i was being sarcastic during street soccer. sorry arrrr i was really pissed over what i heard during frisbee=/ oh well i hope whatever unecessary tension will be over in a blink of an eye and we can all look back and laugh at all of our 'follies'...

in conclusion....................!!!

the class rocks!!! so does ares =))))))
