  • Looking at this webbie, I feel kinda proud of myself. Even before the trend of blogging even began, I had already set up this thingie which is similar to a blog. Ha!
  • Anyway 2 of our dear friends Serene and Siyong are already Mrs. =) How time flies yeah. So who's gonna be next?

    Date of Entry: 150704

  • Haha.. actually I am surprised that I am writing something here as well.. especially after so long.. was viewing my own pages and found out that the pages under this login ID were deactivated. For a moment I thought everything I uploaded would be gone...

    Maybe that's the irony of life.. just when u realise you are going to lose something or that something is already lost that you start to panic. Sometimes things can be salvaged but not not in all cases.

  • Anyway rushed down from Esplanade to meet up with several NJ pple over the weekend. Time flies... those overseas scholars BT, CH, JS have graduated. Anyway, it was really a long day for me and I was having a total mental block.. especially after getting off e wrong bus-stop, losing my way and walking across this stretch of **** lonely/deserted stretch along the Marina Bay area... and some irritating riders whistling. argh~

    But still kinda delighted.. or maybe consoled that I got to see these familiar faces once again.. when one is old.. anything familiar warms the heart I guess?! Jianrong and Zonghan are really nice people.. very thoughtful guyz. Thank God for them. And the BT style of crapz with his treasured slim digicam. KF... haha.. just find it so uncanny to be working in same area.

    Anyway I still felt bad for not paying.. I swear I did not know what was going on the least bit. Anyway still gotta thank JS and ZH for telling me about this "exclusive" gathering.

  • Some things still remain. But some have changed... some for the better, some for the reverse and some maybe just turn out to be what it meant to be. At 23, I no longer yearn to be likeable to everyone or get close to everyone, but rather I choose to be myself and treasure those pple who are still part of my life....... though my heart still aches slightly for those who have chosen to stay out of my journey.

    ::::::: I once hoped to be an angel but realised I am only human~ :::::::

  • Hmm... on Saturday (230700), we had a gathering at Zonghan's house. The response was really good. Many turned up... and that includes our 'old' friends like Dewei, Ching Hway, Jiasui and Kaifeng. Well... many thanks to Zonghan for offering his place as well as his mother who cooked us delicious dishes. Well... For those going abroad soon: All the best to you pple!

    Date of Entry: 150700

  • Sigh... tomorrow will be the official start of the term for those studying in NUS. All the best to you pple. Hope you got a great week ahead. Hmm... As for me in NTU, tutorials will start tomorrow. =P
  • Thank You Friends!

    Date of Entry: 140700

  • Heehee... now most of the girls have already started their first semester in the University except for some who are going abroad (Siyong).
  • Hilda is already away for studies. Hilda: If you are reading this, wishing you best in everything. May the Lord watch over your every step... =D

    Date of Entry: 130500

  • 1,2,1,2 Check check check... haha... those who don't listen to Chinese songs won't understand this. Well... the girls had a gathering at Yutian's place last Sunday. I was only informed about it the day before. But still... I went cos I missed the last outing the girls had. Didn't want to miss another one abeit my tight schedule. Hai... see moi so good. Haha... We played games there. Lost to Ying when we played the South Park race. Sigh...see how pathetic I am at games. Hmm... and really gotta thank Yutian's mum for preparing so much nice food for us. Quite a nice afternoon spent there. At least, I got to meet up with the girls. =P Hmm... wonder how the guys are.
  • And hoh... the scroll has been idle and stagnant for a long time liao leh. If you are free, can you leave a line there? At least to tell me someone visits this page. Hai... pathetic man. Like begging people to come here like that. Aniwae... did anyone contact the foreign students like Susan and Erick?

    Date of Entry: 250400

  • Gee... we sure enjoyed ourselves at Desmond's place on the 8th of April. Hmm... A big thank you to Desmond for hosting the gathering and especially for letting us use his house. The scenery from his house is really fantastic. Nice place. Apart from the mouth-watering dishes we had, we had a nice time chatting among ourselves. Hmm... and it's good to see that the guys are 'alive'. Haha... no offence. Well well... hope to see ya people again real soon!

    Date of Entry: 260300

  • The potluck is confirmed! Haha... guess we will meet each other again really soon. Hope all will turn up. Hmm... we will be meeting at 6.00pm. So don't be late! As for the venue... you should know lah. If you don't, check your mail or call any of the girls. haha...
  • 3 months just flew past like that. Hmm... and the POP for the guys will only be in like less than a week's time. Hmm... Great! Good luck to all guyz. Hope you get posted into units you want to be in.

    Date of Entry: 170300

  • Plans are being made for a potluck on 8th April. Desmond will be booking the function room. Announcements will be made again when plans are confirmed.
  • Just a cartoon for your entertainment.

    Date of Entry: 060300

  • Paiseh... Long time never update the page liao. But I wonder if anyone comes here now. Hmm.... well well.... The A level results were released on the 4th of March. Hmm... proud to say that the class has done well on the whole. =P Alas... we did not let our teachers down. Well... for those who are unhappy about their results... hmm... cheer up! I can't get into the course I want cos of GP... won't be too much worse off than me right? The A level results are but a passport to greater things. Hmm.... For those who got a passport with limited access like me... well maybe taking another route might not be too bad afterall. =] Aniwae... after going through like 14 years of education, I think we can take it lah huh. So lac lah brother ( for anyone who is worried)! And of course, congratulations to all who have done well and performed up to your standard!
  • Yah... The collection of results also brings us back togethr once again in a place where we had spent 2 years. Some of us went to Sizzler after that. Quite a great meal there. But of course.. judging from the price. Haha... Well sure hope we will meet again someday .... soon ?!

    Date of Entry: 101299

  • Err... this place is a bit messy cos I just transferred the files from the postboy a/c which will be terminated real soon. So heh... give me time to reorganise everything.
  • The 3 days 2 nite chalet in Pasir Ris Resort was great. The room was extra comfy with two bedrooms, a kitchen a living room.
  • The prom was held on 041299 in NJ school hall. It wasn't that bad though I did not really like the food. It is a great time. Everyone was in a crazy mood. Chengda was nominated prom king. Though he did not win the title, we know in our hearts who was the most charming guy on stage.
  • We survived the A levels and heh! It's time to play

    Date of Entry: 280999

  • After our last paper which is EC II on 250999, most in the class had lunch at Orchard BK. Then the guys went for billard while the gals went walking around. Freedom after the totally jialat and gruellling exams.
  • Rumours, both created and real are flying in the air. Believe what you should.
  • Teachers' Day is over. Thank You to all tutors who joined us at class breakfast.

    Juz something I wrote after being 'inspired' by the exams.

    Too Much in common

    2 weeks down the road
    A major test awaiting
    A test of will power
    A test of discipline
    A gauge of how much we have learnt
    A gauge of how much we can take

    2 mths down the road
    The real thing having 'hi'
    The exams which cost us hundred bucks
    The stepping stone to our next milestone
    The guide to the future and
    The path will continue

    Down the road.. there's too much in common between us.
    The stress we have, the expectations of us...
    There's too much.
    Now that we have come close to a cross junction.
    Soon we shall part but for the moment
    There's too much in common
    Juz hold on there...
    there's too much to bear you may say
    Juz hold on there...
    cos it's never too long too hard a path to take
    Have the courage......
    We have something in common

    A Big Thank You


    informal photo '98

    The number of class photos I have is really limited 'cos usually no one bothers to bring a camera along even for chalets.

    Well.... Want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone in 98s03. I enjoyed the days spent with you all and it's really a blessing to be posted to this class. Even our tutors are not bad. Nice people. Haha... Not trying to suck up to anybody but it's true lah. Must count our blessings okie. The fact that I am failing is because I am juz lousy.

    The People


    class photo taken in 1998

    This is purely my own description. It might not be totally accurate. Please dun huntum me for any inaccuracies or for things you dun agree with.

    From Left to Right

    First Row

    Siyong

    She can be regarded as one of my close companions. Very involved in choir and always so 'on' about her ECA. Soprano with nice voice. Really talented too. Haha... The music of our class creed is composed by her. And if you haven't got the chance to listen to it, it's really your loss 'cos it is really nice. Haha... She is also very hardworking, always completing her FM tutorials/ assignments before we even started. Very smart I must say.

    Bee Nee

    A quiet gal. Very sweet. Previously from Cedar and yah.. you guess it, she is a fast runner.

    Miss Lee

    Our Civics tutor. In charge of council too. Very busy tutor. Gives good explanation on Econs concepts.

    Xiaoqing

    A cute cute girl. Very active and a touch rugby player. And something every gal must really admire is her smooth complexion. Whoa... and she got style!

    Me loh

    Haha... The Dineng one


    Second Row

    Esther

    A really true friend, always there when I needed someone. Bowling Captain and F.Trips Coordinator of Econs Soc. She's someone who is very level-headed and very responsible. She is also very thoughtful and understanding. She is a good listener and gives good advice. Someone you can share your problems, secrets with. If you can find a friend like her, I guess you will have no regrets. Another high flyer... all rounded in terms character, sports, studies and other aspects.

    Susan

    We always say she has a rich look. Beautiful even from the photo, dun you agree with me? Cooperated with her for the Yr 1 Econs project. Must say it is a nice experience. Very street-wise (am I using the correct word, anyway what I am talking about is the postive meaning).

    Huixian

    Canoeist... someone tough, daring and have character. She is someone who has her own style of dressing. She has smooth, beautiful, soft hair. I guess those models in shampoos ads might have a run for their money. Someone who is very direct and sincere and I guess hypocrisy is never a word in her dictionary.

    Weiling

    Our class rep. Heehee... Sweet outlook with a solid leadership. V.Prez of Interact Club leh, what else can you expect right? A caring person. Someone nice to crap with. Fun-filled and chatty. Determined too... Serious when it comes to work. An energetic and vibrant young girl who can sometimes influence you with her enthusiasm.

    Liyun

    A quiet girl. But you will realise her other side when you approach her and talk to her. Used to be in uniform group in her Sec School Days. Heh! Dun play play ah...

    Yutian

    A sharp person(again I mean the positive meaning. Please pardon me cos my English is really terok) Consistently good in her results. Someone who is rational and sure of what she wants. Very independent.

    Lijing

    Very pretty and has a 'star' look. Someone who will catch your attention. Petite and very active in hockey. She is also someone whom you can joke with. Cheerful and very much a fun person.

    Serene

    Someone who is caring and 'motherly' (not saying she is old okay, but she's someone you trust). Very thoughtful too... giving them encouragement when they need it. Conscientious and serious in her work. Can sing and perform well too. If you haven't missed the prep time guitar performance on the 27 April, you should fully understand what I mean. Heh... if you missed it, sigh... too bad loh.

    Ying Ying

    Hmm... She is really pretty and I don't think anyone will object to that. Yah she's in Netball. Sporty and always 'on' about PE. She is also someone nice to talk to. Great companion during the whole of last year's GP and CL lessons. Someone who literally shows me(the mountain tortoise) the way when we go out. Truely grateful to her.

    Huiling

    My OG mate right from the start. She is a sincere person and she somehow understands what I am thinking. Good observation skills I must say. Very adorable. Nice sharing those funny secrets esp when we were in Yr 1. Really memorable times. You can be sure of some good jokes whenever you talk to her. Yah... and a fan of Kit Chan. She listens to Mandarin songs too so I have no problem communicating with her about songs we like.

    Hilda

    Our busy councillor. She is someone who is very unique. Cannot really find a word to describe her. A lady I must say. I haven't seen her do anything that "po4 huai4 xing2 xiang4" (spoil her image). Someone who feels for the others around her.


    Third Row

    Erick

    Haha... Nice person to crap with. Has a very unique outlook of the world, life and all the other things. Somewhat pessimistic I must say but I have to respect some of the views and thoughts he has. He can be joking at a moment then serious in another moment. Guitar V.Prez... hmm... lai2 tou2 bu4 xiao3 (not a nobody). A nice friend I must say.

    Jianrong

    Our hao3 hao3 xian1 sheng1 (good guy). Someone who gives in to the others. So good that we feel guilty. At times not too confident of himself. Sincere guy. Someone who is very trustworthy and you can depend on. Very nice smile too. Haha...

    Zonghan

    Big Big eyes. Sometimes he juz seem like a big cartoon character to me. Dunno what the others think but I always have this feeling. Looking good without his specs.

    Ruiqiang

    Our philosopher. He is someone who has depth. Sensitive guy, quite a rare quality in guys. Has the initiative. Guess he's one of the few gentlemen around. Haha... Very adventurous and has this love for learning. Clear and level-headed. Someone who will make you sit up and listen to what he has to say. Worth the respect.

    Desmond

    Diwen... hmm.... Can be quite slack in things he does not like. But when it comes to things he like, he can be really really serious about it to the extent of spending much of his time on that something. A very clean guy... no bad habits. A very guai1 (good) boy.

    Boon Tat

    A joker in the class who livens the atmosphere during lessons. But dun be fooled by this playful outlook, there's really substance in him. A unique person who has a certain charisma. And yep... very good at spinning pen. My learning example. Haha... Yup... a very determined person with the will and strength.

    Kaiwen

    Softball Cap. My OG mate too. Someone who you will want to have as a younger brother. Quite an honest fellow. Can be humourous too. Nice chap to talk to.

    Chengda

    Basketballer. Skill man! Ask the other basketballers and I think you get what I mean. Quite a well-known person around this territory... I mean NJ lah. Quite confident too.

    Nigel

    Another canoeist. And another good-looking one. Hmm... Seems like our class has many shuai4 ge4 (good-looking guys)Very good in his studies and nothing seems to be really difficult to him. Sometimes just cannot stand the fact how come some people can be so smart. Haha...

    Zhichao

    Someone who has principles. Quite responsive and thoughtful. Sometimes gets really serious when it comes to things he is doing. Appreciates cute stuff... Haha... quite the opposite of me for this.

    Xiancong

    Someone who can sing. Hmm... Quite a nice person. Very keen in learning. Most of the questions asked during tutorials are posed by him. Haha... not bad, then we can juz sit back and relax. Oops. He has a good sense of humour too.

    Wenkai

    Another well-known one. Once in soccer, later in softball. Active person. Has the height and looks so most people will notice him.

    98S03 NJ Creed

    Music: Lin Siyong ??Lyrics: The Guys

    We came from all over
    To reach out for our dreams
    Inspiring one another
    To move forward as a team

    Tears and laughter that we shared
    We will never regret
    Success and failure that we had
    Strengthen our spirit

    Chorus:
    NJC pride of our nation
    I vow to uphold their name
    To strive to serve
    And to lead
    May your name live on forever

    We will be strong together
    Holding on to our dreams
    We will serve others with honour
    To live, to give and to learn

    Nothing will stand in our way
    If we stand together as one
    So let us join our hands together
    And shout out our name
