If they do not, they aren’t your friends, but a ticking time bomb, possibly becoming your greatest enemy one day. Treasure those who care for you, as they are hard to come by, possibly becoming your brothers one day.” True, I shall start tdy. Hahax..

A Quote from sheron’s blog:
Rumors are vicious, Talk is cheap.
Words are malicious, Secrets you should keep.
Gossip is fake & will make the deepest cut.
So learn from the past, & keep da' mouth shut
Sometimes, we juz gotta keep things 2 ourselves ah? But liddat won’t we feel very lonely? Haiz... mum and dad said tt I should always keep a mask whenever I talk, “say things that others like to hear, and not ur real thoughts” so dumb la. I hate it. Haiz.. one month left b4 I muz continue the acting again... “sometimes when we jus wanna tell our frenz hu we really are, we fear they dun treasure us as we treasure them”--- kor. True or not?

Juz came back from camp. =D hahax... narrate first wad happened and then tmr will post wad I learnt. Very meaningful camp la. not pure tekan. *phew* =) lol. yea, one thing to make sure is that I fulfill the responsibility of a senior rafflesian. And that I enable others around me to do the same. So yea small sth 2 tell everyone, this blog is only for my friends and close friends to read, not for most of my juniors, cos “there has to be a gap and a difference between you and them, to maintain the proper decorum and discipline that would be becoming of an ambassador of our school. Too close a relationship would lower the standards and degenerate principles, as so would between close friends who share their lives with each other.” Wow. The quote sure sounds cheem. Ok ok, point is, dun tell any of your juniors my blog. Ok? Thanks everyone! Lol.
ok, day 1, 2 and 3.
Ms. Jacq Sim isint going 2 be our Year Head next year. Sad la. she was quite a good teacher, but the school decided to promote her to the CLE department, in charge of Character(C). haiz.. a good teacher leaving us. =( she was evil when we were still sec 1s lor. but in sec 3, we realized that she was quite a nice teacher after all, jus her voice abit scary at first for a person like me who has never gotten a scolding before in his whole entire life until sec 1. (at the most juz getting chided and getting stuff confiscated by parents la.) but come to think of it, sec 1s can’t be that weak la. have to grow tough, like us now. at the apex of RI’s leadership, and about to take the helm and the don the mantle, to emulate the previous batch, and to bring us to greater heights. “Its not just about me, not just about us, not just about RIGE, not just about raffles, but the society that we are about to influence and advance.” ---------- Rai. JS gonna have to give birth to her child early next year. She won’t be arnd for some time. and guess it wont be that feasible for a lady undergoing post-natal stress to handle the cohort matters and get extra stress. Also gd la. its to the best of everyone. Sad to see her go though. All the best in whatever you do ms sim!
“When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.”------------ Ng Wei Wen. Good point here. Only those who persevere can take on challenges that come their way, with determination, and never giving up. There may come a time where the courage of man fails all, when all is despair. But today is not the day. (familiar rite, kel? =P =P =P dunno hu cope frm LOTR, dun mind I recope here. =D) hahax.
Day 1.
Reached RI at 730. checked out my group, apparently I know everyone inside la. so... yay! Lol. yea, andrew, chris kuan, daniel lee, michael bin, dillion, gabriel tan, geeva. (in no particular order.) total of 8 ppls. Talk by DHM Mag before we began our hike. “The pill of pupil leaders. Passion, Inspirational, Leadership, Legacy. I’m on the pill. Are you?”----------Mr Mag. Lol. really inspired me alot. What is the rafflesian spirit? That was our task to find our own golden fleece. Yea, the theme of the camp was Jason and the Argonauts.
Learnt the 5 practices. MICEE.
Modeling the way, Inspiring others, Challenging the process, Enabling others to act, Encouraging the heart.
All these being qualities of a great leader.
“DWYSYWD----------Do What You Say You Would Do.”------ Mr. Paul Lim.
Allows others, through this, to gain faith in you and trust in you.
First day was quite fun la, though we walked for 10 hrs. can die de! But I din really feel tired la. dunno y. felt tired doin tt during obs though, but not now. guess its cos my grp mates are real nice. everyone talking crap as we walked. Mike and his crap talk, sporadic lame jokes. Geeva and his evangelism abt hindu gods and myths. Chris and Daniel spamming dota crap with me for fun. Hahax. Dillion the keeper of the light. “Keeper of the Light, Illuminate!” =D and Gabriel with the food bag. Lol. too much crap that we din even feel that tired. guess our minds weren’t on the task. =D *oops* learnt sth from Royce, never leave anyone out. Cos it just not now and the end. Even if we get the gold, but I leave the others out, the only one celebrating will be me alone, without anyone else, no one to share the joy with. Stress the importance here. =) quite meaningful.
“never doubt yourself. If even you doubt yourself, who else is not going to doubt you?” ------- Royce. In dire situations, only you can tell yourself to persevere. No one else will bother. Few will, and you will see their true colours. ( thx kel for typin out my eng essay, staying back 2 hlp me. thanks.)
“No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”---------- Mr. Desmond Tan. Care for everyone, as they would care for you. Treasure your friends, care for them, and let them know that you care.
Walked for long distances, I think 15 km or more la. walked for 10 hrs. lol. went MOE adventure centre at one time. tht I heard chloe’s voice, gabe said I siao. Dillion was sayin I burnt my head in the sun. hahax. hey! But amazingly chloe was there ok! having the same camp as us! Lol? see, my hearing veri pro de. Can hear gy from even outside the gate of kel’s house. (my highscore =P) lol. hope u’all had fun too! (chloe and guojun)
Day 2. kayaked from change beach to Loyang beach and back again. How fun. Lol. at Loyang beach there was this tug of war finals between grp 7 and the PE teachers. Titus and khai cheong practically owned Mr. roomey and Mr. chng! Lol! =P no offense hor! No suan also! Hahax. causal statement. But amusing. Titus could straighten our tent pegs without using stones. Pro. Seriously imba. And the pegs were just as new. --__--“
Lol. ok day 3 not much. juz some activities. Now to the learning parts.
“we may be at the apex, but the other summits beckon us.”-------- Mr. Mag.
“defeat with dignity, victory with humility.”-------- Mr. Mag. Now you understand why I always say my marks are “jus ok only” or “veri lan la” or jus dunwan to tell cos its too screwed up. I learnt this earlier b4 the camp.
“as a leader, we must fake at times, (added by kor: - “and act out our lives”) cos we account to not only ourselves, but to all around us.” ------ Jeremy.
“Never communicate your personal views on a public platform, as it would only degenerate your credibility.”---------- Mrs. Janki. Does tt mean I can’t tok to my frenz abt my views?! Grr... no blogging too?! --___--“ oh well.. small sacrifices. But I hope I can still talk to my close friends abt stuffs la. jus dun go abt tokin to others den shld be quite ok ba.. if not I veri lonely de... =P

Tmr is e last day of sch. Won’t be seeing all of you around. Yea, and I mean everyone. All my friends. closer ones being vic kel and gy. close ones r jia le, quan wei, shing, mark. And many others like linan, stuart, melvin, mingrun. Thx 4 making this year so interesting for me. you guys rock! Stay cool always! =D
Recollecting this year’s events.
Start of the year with OBS. Quite a challenging camp. =P quite nice though. Kel, u sabo me only few days after we meet. Wth. number 1 to allocate work lor. and somemore I was the watch leader. --__--“ crap u la. honestly, dun mind me saying this now, but I was damn pissed with ur attitude then lor. hahax. nvm, seemingly parallel rivers do intersect at some point though. =D
And so FTs appointed me as the acting monitor before elections. Well, wasn’t tt interested in the job, only the position. Yes, I admit that. But given the post, I would have done a good job la. though its jus cos I as supposed to. real reason for running for the post was cos EN asked me to as it would be easier to convince the panel and KK that I was suitable as a vice-cap. ( well, I made it even without the monitor post la. =D ) lol. thx mel and cheng for voting for me. =P. actually its ok if u dun vote for me. but kel and WC can go and dissuade ppl to vote for me. wth. sad case that I had a cam in my half opened bag pointing at the rest of the class when I was outside. And that I can lip read. ( lip reading, 5 years experience. --___--“ ) yes, so I know wad’s going on without asking anyone. Truth is I wasn’t keen on the post. I was just getting a rough guide on my would-be-friends and enemies. Few days l8er vic gave me a dagger from spain for my bdae. Yay! Hahax. thank you!
Well well, changing times as the days passed, at first the cold me remained cold. Yea, for safety reasons. Lets say that now kel’s one of my close friends. hahax. at first did project with me just to tap on my knowledge. (yea, I read through that. Humans do with me and sciences do wif rey to optimize intel rite... --___--“ ) nvm, I agreed anyway. Times later, got to know each other better, did more projects together, but this time did together cos we became frenz hu trusted in each other. =D how nice. a would-be threat turned into one of my best friends. hahax... the day you helped me argue for my 1 mark for the chem cct was the day I decided to forgive u. yea, I got the mark even though I wrote “pinpoint” instead of “observe”. Lol. yea, thank you. Still remember the day you stayed back jus to help me retype my eng article. Thanks man.
Got to know guang yu after YPH switched BW’s seat. Den we started tokin abt animae tt kel introduced me. yea, all the naruto stuffs, and l8er tsubasa. Got to know yx, zf, jarrel, joshua, all gy’s friends. gy’s maths wasn’t tt gd then, but still very hardworking. Improved after some time. I like that determination lor. jus like myself. So decided to be frenz. I admire those who keep their word. And gy falls in that category.
So 8 mths passed with all the above happening so quickly. Couldn’t be bothered with RIGE politics anymore with these 2 gd frens beside me. kena scolded by kor when I told him that I trusted them. Kena screwed badly and had to write the bushidos 100 times. But I din regret it then. (though maybe I did a little l8er on.)
Gd frenz. Vic, 2 yrs 5 mths. Kel, 7 mths. Gy, 4 mths. Nice ppl. Dun regret getting to know them.
Ninth month got to enter the NCSC comp. got to know a few frenz. Closer ones being san and chloe. yea, you 2 bothered to crap with me, and endure all my nonsense. =P the best thing is tt we only knew each other for less than a week. 3 days to be exact, the 2 rehearsals, and 1 final. Lol.
And the year passes, with few new frenz this year. More msn contacts. Hahax. wish me a safe journey on mon – wed. got CCAL camp. Pray that it would be a smooth sailing one.
