8. Prefect's Dinner 2005

1. Tour De france - its stage 17 now.. Armstrong is total ownage already..he's sooo gonna win this year la..haha CONFIRM!! If you can do a stage by stage analysis of how all his strongest rivals are doing, you would be able to see as i see it. well i cant exactly analyse everytin for you here not enough space and cant phrase every minute of every stage..so these are just the salient points and key happenings. David Zabriskie lost the yellow jersey at the first team time trial, has since retired. Ivan Basso drained from giro d'italia,but getting back on form, however still abt 2.30 minutes behind armstrong, he will drop further in the individual time trials. Michael Rasmussen, new name,great talent, current standing 3rd overall i tink, too far back to catch, will drop on timetrials. Jan Ulrich dropped by armstrong numerous times, this yr he got form finally, but he darn unlucky, suffered falls. one stage got dropped about 5 minutes by armstrong, currently 5.38 behind armstrong, doubt he can catch up, not even timetrials.So unlike 2003 where he got second,less den a minute behind lance. his two supposedly strong teammates for some reason all underperforming. Alexandre Vinokourov is good, but alot of stages off form. approx 10.11 behind lance. He's a good rider, dunno wts he doing. the other one andreas kloden, crashed and since retired, last saw him riding with cast. Floyd Landis traitor went csc, last year gc 3rd i tink. Now he and david zabriskie pulled up csc timetrialing by hell alot, onli lost 2 sec to team discovery in the last team time trial. Mario cipollini retired. Joseba Beloki still recovering, sadly. 5th placed francisco mancebo will fall in time trial. Carlos Sastre underperforming, duno doing wat. Former lance teammate n good friend roberto hera's not performing as i wld expect him to, now in liberty seguoros. He has brought liberty ( former team once ) back in shape for timetrials, which they used to be good at, together with joseba beloki. Iban Mayo from euskatel not performing well, his team not good at timetrialing no match. Hamilton retired. The rest not worth mentioning all cmi. oh christophe moreau cant catch up with lance, currently 11th. The other pro riders are on armstrong's side.haha wat can i say.
2. Strings strings,wat can i say. I like strings, but i dun like it as well. Elections were held in the june holidays. Full of shit, full of politics, wth. Politics suck, leave politics to adults man, cant we just enjoy school life now??life w/o politics before we even enter the workforce. There was sorta a " alliance " formed. Who else, jo-an.n and yokey.uan. Dumb man why take it so seriously, no more pearls points wat wts. The j2 exco was not bad, except that i hated the way they did stuff, Jonathan especially. Inspirations V was a clear example of how inefficient he is. Elections went not bad. I ran for vice pres, not press. CCAs like strings president need to do alot of stuff, im not good at logistics etc. Im not acadmically inclined either, give me pres and i wont study man. All i want is to come up a combined concert, with AC and RJ,and invited band guests. I was blessed and i got Vice president. Happy with it now. BUT i didnt get section leader. WHY?? COS THERE IS NO FRIGGIN SECTION leader. The stupid seniors had combined the double bass section with the cello section, as how chinese orchestras do. wtf, wat kinda strings is this where there is no double bass section leader?? its as good as telling us straight in the face " HEY double basses are useless and insignificant, you make no difference at all in the orchestra. Hmm y dont i group you under cello instead? easier for us to manage " fuck you man. you tink we play the same tings as cellist do? Hey co got cello and bass combined, i have nothing to say, im from co and all i do is jus play some beats, doesnt make a big dif if we didnt exist. Band bassists most of the time get out powered in volume by band instruments, and its not a significant part of band. BUT STRINGS?? Strings is where the double bass belongs. Strings are supposed to have the best double bassists around. Because we are supposed to be good, we should be given at least a friggin place in the orchestra? at least recognise us and give us a section leader??? EVERY strings ensemble or EVEN A symphonic orchestra has a double bass section leader. Philharmonic also have. mayb jus different name " principal player ". But it means the same ting. Wat kinda strings is this??? no sl? HAHA might as well call it friggin English Orchestra since its similiar to Chinese Orchestra eh? Why dont they put the friggin SL - less ting in place when jaspar was around?? at that time onli one bass, wasnt there more reason not to have a bass sl??? SO they think that jas.par was useless? that jaspar never helped us AT ALL? FUCK y'all man not having a bassist in the exco meant that nobody would speak up for the bassist. Jaspar wouldnt do that either. Jaspar no use thats why we shouldnt have a bass sl? BULLSHIT man.. Do they even know how much he has helped us. I wouldnt be playing how i am playing now without him la. You need one person to coordinate the playings for the bassists. One person to help the juniors. One person to correct bowings and fingerings and conduct sectionals. Cellists arent fit to be sl of whole bass. You tink wat? the way you play cello exactly same as the way you play bass ah?? might as well have one concert mistress and thats it. even a music illerate can figure out that the open notes of all the strings arent the same. You may say that OH cos small ensemble so noneed bass sl. YA fuck so how come viola 1 person also sL?? HEy there's one celloist too, and HEY THERE ARE TWO BASSISTS around. why dont you fucking get a bassist to be a sectionleader over all the rest?? You say that Oh hey hard choice cant decide who to be sl la. Ya right violins easier huh? violinist dunneed to choose issit? is it damn friggin obvious that there are few violinist who completely kick the asses of all the rest?There were three cellist tiffany Jonathan and herbert. Herb.ert and tiffa.ny are equally good to me, very easy choice huh? all lame excuses. F off jo.nathan, must you screw up strings for me jus before you retire?? retire now and keep you fucking hands off strings for the rest of your life. Was there even a need to change to a sl-less strings anyway?? was there? wat's wrogn with having a bass sl in the first place? extra den extra la so wat?? you want to change it so that you feel good that HEY ive brought about CHAnge in the fucking ensemble. YEAH jus change it for change sake, cos if you dun change strings would collapse or someting. Did you jonat.han jus realize that you may hav jus screwed the future generations of strings too?? IF my batch doesnt instill a section leader the whole future of hc may not even see the emergence of an SL cos it has become fucking tradition. Fuck you man, perhaps i shouldnt even have ran for exco. den perhaps they may pity me hey he no position give him double bass section leader la. You may say " hey you wan to be sl but cannot be den so sore " STFU. Yes i admit that i want to be SL that was wat i hoped to achieve when i came to HC. Take away my vp post and give me sl id be greatly contented. I cant be sl and i cant do anything about it becos anyting that comes out of my mouth would sound hypocritical because i am a bassist myself. Even if Jo-a.nn was made sl i would at least be happier that there was at least an sl. Id jus quit strings and join Band or someting where i have my share of solos to play. This way wont everyone be happier?? i joined strings to be able to do someting i enjoyed-to play the bass in an orchestra. I wanted to be section leader so that all i cared about was to play well. now you give me status and responsibility as vice pres, but you dun let me do someting that is inline with my passion. id rather be a positionless CCA member. talking about jo.nathan, wat kinda screwed up leader are you? is this the way you treat your juniors?? you know how much the J1s hate you? you dont talk to us, and whenever we wan to talk to you or give suggestions etc you jus ignore us or jus look at us with that kinda dao look and look away. I would really like to put my middle finger to your face the next time you do that. You and all your screwed up way of handling things. 'nuff said. [edited 13/11/05: pardon the excessive use of expletives, was out of mood then]
   
3. June act was...hmm cant remember which day.. last friday of the june holidays.

7. Man..recently i just bought quite alot of things man! beautiful beautiful things..Let me start off first with my helmet! haha.. Pure white, sexy, smooth, curvy, voluptious, aggresive, stylish, avant-garde, aerodynamic, well ventilated, IRresistable... - My Pearl White Bell Sweep Racing Helmet!!! like Ohhh myy Gooddd.. I can just look at it everyday and Neverr get sick of it mann.. Took me two hours worth of lingering at the bike shop before i Finally settled on one colour - white. I was deciding between the team csc colour scheme and the white one. CSC's one had red, black, and white, super fierce too. I settled on white cos it compliments and does a better job of bringing out the shape of the helmet. The SHape... is the most outstanding part of the helmet. How can i describe it, the contours of the shell all flow backwards, and ends in a featherly fashion. White brings out the contrast between the black vents ( with e black hair ) and the white shell. Ahh Im loving it man. I need to get a longer stem..prefer to be more stretched out.. and when i upsize the stem need to get another pair of shorter aerobars man..Oh saw this advertisement in hwachong..someone selling bikes..omg she has spinergy wheelsets!! im gonna get them man..ah but email her wait damn long already still no reply..bleah.. AHh yes.. next up..SHADES! im gonna get one for cycling man..haha.. looking at Rudy Projects..considering Rydon and err..yeah that's all actually... kalyos is nice..not sure if it is optical lens compatible.. wa..the one with the white frame and PEarl blue lens. ELECTRifying man!
8. ACSI prefects dinner...actually..im typing this post at like september already..i really cant remember much that happend man.. The 2004 people present there were eh..clarence matheus marcus zhihua leslie shaun yong neng david michael russell.. aditya and joshua both didnt turn up cos they had some debate thing on. Michael came though. Well i only remembered some of the highlights of the dinner, which actually all that you might want to know anyway. haha. Oh but first, let me tell you about the food, it totally rocks man!! Smoked raw salmon complete with wasabi and stuff, smoked salmon, mm creamy pasta, satay, pastries and hmm cant remember already. Just as we did last year, we tried and determined which was the best tasting type of pastries, and emptied almost the whole tray into plates and brought everything back to our table! haha. Ok back to the programmes for the night. The performances were lined up in order of levels, starting with the sec 2s first. I f im not wrong they did some dance..oh yes! the numa numa song, imitating the video from the website erm, funnyvideos.com i think. They completely coped the moves and stuff man, but they did try to make it aBIT more original by filming their own video of it ( which included the exact same dance moves anyway). They exhibited perfect unity as a batch as all the sec 2s went up to perform, reflecting the success the cheering sessions that they have received from the sec 4s, who have in turn been trained by US..hahaha. Besides the unoriginality i thought they were pretty good, the sight of a whole bunch of boys doing spastic dance moves was quite amusing. Sec 3s, not sure what they did, but i do recall having seen andrew wang (/wank) going up there to sing songs. Wank likes to sing songs, and he has this unique way of supporting his mike stand diagonally when he sings, like how you would support a girl if she were standing 2 o'clock to your right and were falling towards your left. The sec 4s, oh no i cant remember what they did, some song again i guess? Den it was our turn, went up to sing the edited version of "I did it my way". We altered parts of the lyrics and renamed it "we did it our way". Somehow the phrases "when we bit off more than we could chew, but through it all when there was doubt, we ate it Up, and Spit it outt.." sounded kinda weird (literally) when we sang it, and everyone laughed. haha. Than Russell did a vespers style sorta thing, went up and taught a message, den he sang a hymn, which everyone sang along to. As usual, when he speaks, silence reigns. after the sermon he was singing alone, so as a council we went up to join him. Then there were the games conducted by the mcs, which were not bad, up to AC standards, haha. Customarily, there were gay games again, haha, one of which involved a lion and a lion tamer. OMg there was this sec 2 which did the tamer role damn well!! haha together with another guy who did the lion, cant remember their names. The sec 2 was wicked man his depiction of a lion tamer was more of that of a leather-clad sex tamer, and he was damn succesful in enacting it la..haha.. Shaun was asked to do it with michael too though it was not as spectacular. Oh i must comment that the mcs were good. At the end of the performances they did something damn dumb - they tried to imitate The Roxbury, something that was highly unique and exclusive to my council - and they failed miserably man..Totally..haha. No music no nothing, how unoriginal! all of us were complaining la.. and yongneng was like " eh lets go up and show them the real stuff". They say "leave the best for last", and so just as the performances have ended, the stripping commences. haha. A climacteric conclusion to a fun-filled night. =)
