just remember...

wad a funny way to express it... im sticking out one finger now.

aniwae heres a nice song that everyone must listen to. hope it doesnt affect loading time. sorry i missed the jts cos i was sick and only woke up to eat and bathe and sms. hope u guys had fun!

glad to see most of us have enjoyed our first 3 mths together as a class. fond memories that would bring us through our 2 years in hc. well... the honey moon is sort of coming to an end... pple leave the class, newbies come in... then its block test, promos and b4 u noe it, the big As. Sure i missed ny but im oso glad to noe new nice pple in s73 who've somehow made a difference. and I got to noe pple whom i once thought i knew.

yeah... perhaps all has been a dream. and we must wake up to reality somehow, someday. call me a pessimist but this is life... yeah... 3 months. too long for that sense of attachment, yet too short to build a solid frienship. pple will drift further apart and there will be some futile attempts to keep in contact... but for me, it doesnt matter anymore. the bittersweet memories should be enough to see us through? whenever u take a bus down bukit timah road, whenever you see any of the s73 first intakers, whenever u visit this class blog... we'll just rmb all the rest of the 25 names, 25 trademarks and 25 special individuals who once made up a unique class.

im glad our juniors will be spared from our agony.

aniwae im just very sad now cos i lost my kitten. super depressing week.

heys...decided to add some warmth here too...mebbe we'll suceed in building up 73's fire...feel like crying after reading ningfei's entry. wateva it is i'm realli glad that i'm in this class for the 1st 3 mths...i'll alwaes rmb all the funny stuff tt we did as a class...gambling away during bio, ice cream before cross country, attempting to pon chem tutorial (but we were such gd kids tt we went in the end), stj, jts @ sizzler, the chao complicated family tree, pool/majong/kbox sessions n tt crazy n "romantic" val day nite in frnt of tan kah kee! i haf this crazee idea but wat abt 10 yrs down the road, let's meet up again?

but to ningfei: i tink there's little hope of u trying to bai tuo niang niang jun...seriously moz manpower dun like lep i tink

Wahh.. I would like to present an award to ningfei for writing the longggest entry ever!! [applause] haha and i rock cauz i finished reading his whole entry. :0)
For me, 05S73 is a class full of funny + weird people. You get the non-stop laughters and lameness like in no where else. You get all kinds of people and attitudes.. haha if you all rmb.. muppet's laugh-at-anything syndrome.. Ruiyi's way of talking/scolding..the purple barney..weiquan's ever-crappy speeches..our cts..and meat's hysterically sniggles. how can one ever forget the dynamics of this class?
Truly, i dont wish for anything to change.. but they do change.. oh well this is getting dark.. think of the brighter side: HEY we still get to see each other when term starts! yay! [futile attempt to cheerio]

hey guys...hahaz i thnk most prob evebodi aslp now le.hehez 2 am in the morn i jus return frm band concert + pool....now realli dunno wat to do so i decided to pop in a post.hmm.....today is realli a SPECIAL day for me...i suddenly knew 2 v impt thgs tt haf been bugging me for the past few days...even the past few mths.hmm....i jus wanna say tt i regret not having to noe some of u more...i admit i was act 2 stuck up wif huang cheng stuff tt i din haf ani time wif my clazmates. but i dun regret joining huang cheng cos it has realli opened a new doorway in my life....hmph. seems like wat they say is true : life is like a double-edged sword.
now den i realise tt the first 3 mths have past so quickly....heard alot of seniors say tt these 3 mths r the most fun-filled in jc life...hmm wonder haf u all enjoyed it? haf u all make alot of new frens n created alot of fond memories? for me....i thnk so lahz....hmm but mayb it could haf been a beta first 3 mths for me?

ok.wat i feel is tt tis blog is getting REAL cold~~~~~so i decided to add a little warmth in it.i wonder : if evebodi each reach out wif their hands, their warmth wil surely b illuminated in tis blog.even if u stuck out one finger....ur warmth wil oso b felt.yahz....so pple pls b more enthu k?
for those who r leaving tis claz....i dunno how u feel. u cld haf a lot of fond memories of the outings tt some haf organised....u cld haf a lot of fond memories of the days when the tchrs r not ard n we crack n share jokes as a claz...u cld haf a lot of fond memories when we cheered so wildly for 05S73 during orientation....u cld haf a lot of fond memories workin wif various clazmates on gp projects or debates....u cld haf a lot of fond memories when u were jus toking n toking n toking to ur clazmates....i realli dunno how u feel, but i realli wish to noe. issit regret? guilt? relief? remorse? joy?.....or issit.....nothing at all? no feelings at all...no nothing watsoever.den when somebodi ask u when u join their claz: how's 05S73? or how's hcjc? wat wil u reply? but most importantly, ten yrs down the road, when one of 05S73 members ask u: were u in hcjc in the claz 05S73? i hope u rmb those fun n laughter...
haiz. today dunno y like realli wan to say n write alot of stuff.mus b under alot of pressure these few days.hmm....right nx wk is huang cheng performance..gd luck to all those in huang cheng! mus do ur job well horz! n for those non-huang cheng peeps, i realise tt that sat wil act b ur last time as a "first 3 mth 05S73" le.....hahaz so mus zhen xi!rmb to cheer for us! tt performance wil mark a beautiful ending....n oso a new beginning for all. yupz i look forward to second intake pple coming into our claz.... hahaz hope more manpower come in so tt we can finally bai tuo niang niang jun....oops!
ok i realise tis entry is like damn long n tt my hands r getting lethargic....heart pumping slower n brain mechanism functioning at a slower rate of reaction.....lastly jus wanna say tt if u haf e patience to read tis whole chunk until here.......u realli rox. hahaz. THREE CHEERS FOR 73!!

Ning Fei

(bored)

i'm soree...din mean to flood the tagboard but i haf no idea y my msgs repeat themselves so much...aniwaes zhixuan dun feel bad coz my practicals r as bad as yrs. i got 170% purity too! hi5! haiz both my testubes cracked too though they din crack as artistically as yours. But luckily they broke onli af heating. Budden i realise tt once i put them into the test tube holder, they'll crack like mad...

Yay! JTS! Okay, although I don't really have a lot of money to pay for it, but it's something to look forward to. =) And I still don't know if it's Breks or Breekz/s but it will be fun, 'cos people will be around... Right? -raise brow- Must go for JTS!!! Besides that, since xinhui so nicely put up pictures of my very pretty broken test tubes, I must point out that one of them was actually dented. Or rather there was this nice curve where my test tube holder used to be. XD It wasn't my fault actually, I didn't know how come my sample produced so much water! Kai ling and wei quan can attest to that, in fact kai ling kept laughing at my failed experiments... =( But besides that, my titrations are kind of weird too (170% purity... Ptsh), which all just leads to the conclusion that my practicals are bad. -shakes head- I wonder what my sec school chem teacher would say... Okay I shall not dwell on depressing things like that, looking forward to JTS!! Or class lunch soon. (Like tomorrow anyone?)

Wait... I know I'm a bit slow, but how come my capital letters don't show up? At all? -frowns- This is kind of annoying...

Shell you cant sneak into talenttime? Hmm but when i go aft huang cheng, there wasnt even a single person at the doors la! hhaa so i just walked in and no one bothered about me-lalalal-. But i wasnt in time to catch jenyi's performance! What a waste! but congrats!!
Dont forget! JTS this next sunday 13 march! lunch time! details to be confirmed. Make the day free k? might go elsewhere after the meal..

i juz got back from talentime too...haha sneaked in after huangcheng, like real...mi n yanwen paid $8 bucks for like less than half the show*sobz* we tried sneaking in frm all possible entrances but simply failed coz the security was so tight. wished i got to listen to more vocal groups...But nvm, fortunately we managed to catch jenyi n his gymmers n our snrs in their stylish CO performance(congrats!).
oh yes i wan to sae happy bdae huanwei!! before i go off to sleep....

ps. i'm soree but i dunno wat colour the words r in coz my monitor onli shows green n blue now.forgive mi if it's ugly.

Talentime

Yoz!

im just back from Talentime! really a pity for those who didnt go! really entertaining! aniwae despite his injuries, my darling and his team emerged third! but he'd alwaes be my champion lol!

btw, this is to inform everyone, pls attempt the ct blog survey in ivle. oso rmb to do bio survey. also to those who didnt order hua2 yun4, i regret to inform u that u have to bring $4 on mon cos its compulsory for all LEPians to buy that. ok?

yep... thats all for now... enjoy the weekend! rmb to register for JAE. hope we spend our last week of the term fruitfully. so that those who may no longer be in s73 in term 2 will bring with them the most wonderful memories of 05s73. bring camera ok?

What an interesting tagboard war.

go on kok, show us the meaning of immaturity.

took a pic of zhixuan's infamous test tubes yesterday. here are they!

Your Guide To Achieving Emotional Stability

For the pathetic little troll residing in the ancient cave, this is to facilitate better character n mind development for u. As a concerned member of the public and a loving member of 73, i'm going to use some of my precious time to give u a free n easy guide to anger management or rather control of your unwanted emotions. Why bother, u may ask...but i just cant bear to see precious resources n our taxpayer's $$ go to waste @ the woodbrige institute.

The natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to threats; it inspires powerfulaggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to defend ourselves when we are attacked.
On the other hand, we can't physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or annoys us; laws, social norms, and common sense place limits on how far our anger can take us.
People use a variety of both conscious and unconscious processes to deal with anger. The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive—not aggressive—manner is the healthiest way to express anger. To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others. Being assertive doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others.
Anger can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it, and focus on something positive. The aim is to inhibit or suppress your anger and convert it into more constructive behavior. The danger in this type of response is that if it isn't allowed outward expression, your anger can turn inward—on yourself. Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression.
Unexpressed anger can create other problems. It can lead to pathological expressions of anger, such as passive-aggressive behavior (getting back at people indirectly, without telling them why, rather than confronting them head-on) or a personality that seems perpetually cynical and hostile. People who are constantly putting others down, criticizing everything, and making cynical comments haven't learned how to constructively express their anger. Not surprisingly, they aren't likely to have many successful relationships.

Steps to Achieving Emotional Stability
Breathe easy. Take long, deep, steady breaths.
Relax the face muscles. Intentionally relax your angry expression by clenching and relaxing your jaw, forehead, and mouth.
Walk away. Seek space for solitary thinking; leave the situation alone.
Own your anger. Take possession of your anger and make it your responsibility. Talk to yourself about what is happening and why it impacts you.
Make a plan. Look at possible solutions for the immediate situation and long term solutions.
Work out your anger. Physical activity or exercise can help relieve tension and anger. Go run around the chs track.

Some simple steps you can also try:
Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm; breathing from your chest won't relax you.
Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "relax," "take it easy." Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply.
Use imagery; visualize a relaxing experience, from either your memory or your imagination.
Nonstrenuous, slow yoga-like exercises can relax your muscles and make you feel much calmer.
Practice these techniques daily. Learn to use them automatically when you're in a tense situation.=)

we do not tolerate such disrespectful behaviour n if u haf several stressing issues u cant seem to work out, pls leave yr big name or cum look for members of our loving class to help u out

Hahahaa im darn amused. To that poor insecure guy/girl, 05S73 will surely welcome you with open arms, just to comfort you and give you your deepest desire -attention. But too bad, if you really really want us to shower love on you, do leave your name :) Oh, and i recommend you to Muppet, shell, georgia and heavenly banana's anger management class.. i really think you need to reconsider the way of venting your anger -pat pat- We understand. -breathe in... and out- x 10 Hahah I'm a bitch! woof woof! Then im curious. How can a dog be more civilised than the one who said im a bitch?Then what is that thing which posted the message? hmm.. perhaps im really stupid -shrugs- Oh.. sorry im drowning in my own lame-ness

..da big o..

the rumour

hi, this is james. i just read shell's post and i think that the rumour is true because i've just found the article on the net. It's from the TODAY newspaper. The link is http://www.todayonline.com/articles/34053.asp. According to the article, those people who received the letters had an average L1R5 of 17 points. Anyway, best of luck to everyone for the results and don't worry too much.

hey pple, rumours haf been flying arnd tt if u get a MOE letter asking u to becum a tcher, yr L1R5 is between 13 to 18. So if u haven received sucha thing, u r saved...most pple received a letter telling them abt JAE.

aniwaes, let's not worry too much :)
