Wow, I feel so happy. An elated grin just appeared on my face when I saw the tags and a comment (in the Kudafari post) left by my new friends from the Maldives trip (not that I'm not happy that my other tagged too). Shall paste them (shun bian paste the other post-Maldives trip tags too) in this post to help me remember =)

'Cos I hadn't talked to them much (like usually when they are chatting away and playing I would be quiet or suddenly laugh. haha, I have this weird sense of humour) so I think its really nice of them to tag! To anyone who visits this blog - do tag! Though I'm guilty of not tagging on others' blogs. Really sorry.

Oh no, I suddenly feel so sad. Just visited the 05s15 blog for the first time (I don't concentrate on blogging when I blog). The diagram of their family tree is so cool. 04s15 and 05s15 are both very well bonded classes.
I think this is so adorable:
ATTENTION ALL 05S15-ERS!!! we're gonna have a class outing at the airport this sunday, 20 march 2005!!! all in favour, please breathe!! ok, seems like everyone is fine with the idea. :) we're gonna pick our darling classmates who went overseas up. dency, zhimin, zhiyuan and christina. ms chen went maldives too right? so we can pick them ALL up. so nice of 05s15!!! :) as well as to bond as a class???
... ...
so not to worry. *grins* bring along things to do? like ur mouths so that we can talk and talk and talk. class bonding time is really valuable u see. :) maybe cards to while our time away there? i dunno. up to u pple.
Oh, I haven't explained why I got so sad just now. Some 05s15ers left some posts about the breaking up of their class because of the new posting results. Then I remembered that yesterday Dency told me that Zhi Min, Calista, and Augustine have left NJ (ten-pointers had to go to AJ because of stiff - gosh, I just forgot how to spell stiff... had to check dictionary.com then I realised the spelling on my own - competition as they were born in the Year of the Dragon). And yesterday, Mr Ho was also announcing, during band prac, those who couldn't come back. Colleen, my direct third clarinet junior, is in NYJC now. I had already known she would leave when she told me her L1R5 on the Wednesday morning when the J1s came back to school after a day of break ('O' levels results day was on 28 February, a Monday). She appeared her usual self, very cheery but when I asked her what she got in the bandroom while warming up for assembly, she just told me how well Regina and Kuan Yee (my two other thirds juniors) did. It was only when we were outside the hall waiting for assembly to start that she suddenly told me she what she got, still appearing very cheery. I didn't feel the sadness immediately (I have this delayed feeling thingy), then my heart began to sink. After a while I realised we were quite similar in that we wouldn't want to appear sad in front of everyone because of a sad news and make everyone feel even sadder for us than they would already feel. But it seemed that she was indeed trying to be stay cheery. I think she's a simple hao ren. She's extremely enthusiastic about aqua house, and about Christopher, aqua house councillor and Jia Yun's classmate. Although people sometimes find her enthusiasm too excessive
The cruelty of truth.
Sigh, the closest junior I had (though not all that close) is the only clarinet junior to leave (out of the nine clarinet j1s)
Though I wasn't close friends with Zhi Min, Calista and Augustine, I feel sad because they are such nice people. Amongst the J1s, I think Zhi Min is the most hao ren guy and Calista is the most hao ren girl. The first time I got to know Zhi Min was through Dency during the first meeting at Buona Vista CC since they are in the same class, 05s15. Didn't have much of an impression of him but during the trip, I could tell that he went for the trip with the good attitude to really help - he does work hard, and he helped with the housekeeping and dishwashing (on the night we prepared food for the locals). Quite matured for a J1 guy. and he jokes and craps at the right times. Calista also went with the same good attitude. Other than working hard, she and Sharon utilised their ability to talk to people easily to mix with the locals. Augustine mixed well with the local kids too, though he didn't work very hard.
Gosh, I suddenly feel like worshipping the existence of blogs. [Is that a right way of using those words?] Anyway, I'm not joking. I just visited Mel's blog and I got that feeling. Why? 'Cos you see another side of people (usually Mel is "insane" - quoting Mel herself - and stuff but in her blog, you see insightful thoughts) and their recording skills are so good! Really. And it feels great to see a record of a shared memory.
Got this off from Mel's blog:
I miss passing by the phone booth in Maldives. Don't you guys miss it too? Its like, everytime you walk pass it, or you are trying to make a call, the phone starts ringing on its own. Terribly like the Matrix.
I still recall the first night when we went to make our calls home. One of us chatted happily inside the phone booth, while the rest of us queued outside for our turn.when suddenly... "ring ring"
part of the conversation i remember: "What on earth?"
"Shall i answer it?"
"I don't know"
"Don't"
"Its like the Matrix. What happens if you get sucked in?"
"Just pick it up!!!"
-picks up phone- "Hello?"
On the line: "HELLO (Insert foreign language)"
"Erm. I don't understand you. Can you hang on?"
-turns to people outside- "What do i do?"
"slam it?"
-returns back to call- "sorry. I have to make a call, can you call back later?" -slams phone down without waiting for reply-
mmmhmmm.
Our stupidity rocks (:
The form of presentation is so neat and it really helps me remember that particular incident.
Gosh, I suddenly feel like copy-and-paste-ing from all the blogs of people who blogged about the Kudafari trip. I want to keep those memories - through my blog. Its like different people recall and blog about different things in a different way. But these memories will only be shared by the 35 of us - Colin, Jo Lynn, Melissa ["Mel"], Zhi Rong, Alexander ["Alex"], Dorothy ["Dot"], Li Yan McCurdy, Mae Yue ["Mae Yee"], Michael Ryan ["Michael"], Tay Wei Ling ["Wei Ling"], Tin Wei Ling ["Wei Ling"], Wanda, Augustine, Bernie, Calista, Zhi Min, Christine, Dency, Devathas ["Dave"], Edwin [some of them call him "gong jiao" - abbreviated Chinese name of Catholic High], Eleanor, Eugenia, Jia Li, Prashanthan ["Prashan"], Ruth, Sharon, Yi Chuen, Keefe [Mae Yue calls him "keef-fee">, Jia Cheng, Melvin, Yida/Jim, Richard Andrew ["Richard"], Wee Pin, Fenella and Wen Hao.
During the first few days, when I still didn't know how to called a few of them (or rather I don't know their names), I would get scared if I called them wrongly. Sometimes, people will simply create a cute nickname for people whose name they can't remember, but I don't do it. At the beginning, for don't-know-what-reason, I thought one of the Wei Ling's is called Wee Leng (I think I saw/imagined-that-I-saw a Wee Leng on some namelist). I called Dorothy "Dorothy". Then I didn't know Wee Pin's name though I knew him by face as the guy in the class with alot people I know and as Teck Kuan's friend. I finally asked him for his name when he borrowed scotch tape from me one day during the trip. haha. so silly. And I got Eugenia, Eleanor and Calista's names wrong (see post on March 5). And I kept thinking that Wen Hao is the IP councillor until one of the meetings at Buona Vista when I saw the actual Weh Hao. And somehow, before the trip I kept thinking Yi Chuen is called Yida. haha.
Okay, that's quite a few names that I got wrong.
I think I should feel sorry for myself when I don't blog due to the need to do homework and such or simply because I am too tired. As have been mentioned several times, the main reason for me blogging is to help me remember my life. I am a person who is unable to remember things that have happened in the form of them happening. At most I can only remember them as facts - that they did happen. [I hoped you get what I mean.] I can't recall most of my childhood. If someone tells me about a memory that we share, I might be able to say that I can remember it did happen but I can't tell stories of what happened. That's why nowadays when people ask me how's my Maldives trip, I give very short answers, unless I am able to remember at that moment one of the answers to give (from having written it down in my journal).
I guess this is also why I do badly for essays. I think my memory works in the way that I can recall things if given the catalyst, but I can't simply pull things out of my memory/mind without any catalysts. This also explains my quietness towards most people unless they start saying something to me that I can respond to. Rather sadly, usually when people see that someone is quiet, they won't talk to them/know what to say to them. But of course, there are times when I really want to be quiet, times when its not just that I have nothing to say, its that I wish to be alone. Still, most of the time its that I have nothing to say. Then again, amongst a group of people, even if there's a catalyst, I wouldn't dare to speak up , 'cos its like people will be 'shocked' when a quiet person suddenly talks. --Hmms, this paragraph is quite mainly post-Kudafari feelings.
Ah, I suddenly thought of a name of my type of memory. You know like the different types of files eg for music files there are mp3, wav, mid etc. My type of memory is *drum roll* a catalytic memory. haha. Actually its not as exciting as the *drum roll* seems to make it. Anyway, I got it from catalytic reactions. Organic Chemistry. hahas. Only year 2 chemistry students would understand.

Other Recommended Readings by Marc
The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin – Few books have had as significant an impact on the way society views the natural world and the genesis of humankind.
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell – Gladwell looks at how a small idea, or product concept, can spread like a virus and spark global sociological changes. Specifically, he analyzes “the levels at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable.”
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens – This is a tale that lingers on the topic of attaining and maintaining a disciplined heart as it relates to one’s emotional and moral life. Dickens states that we must learn to go against “the first mistaken impulse of the undisciplined heart.”
Lolita – This is the kind of book that blows your mind wide open to conflicting feelings of life, love and corruption… and at times makes you deeply question your own perceptions of each. The story is as devious as it is beautiful.
Getting Things Done by David Allen – The quintessential guide to organizing your life and getting things done. Nuff said.
How To Cook Everything by Mark Bittman – 900 pages of simple instructions on how to cook everything you could ever dream of eating. Pretty much the greatest cookbook ever written. Get through a few recipes each week, and you’ll be a master chef by the time you’re 30.
Honeymoon with My Brother by Franz Wisner – Franz Wisner had it all… a great job and a beautiful fiancée. Life was good. But then his fiancée dumped him days before their wedding, and his boss basically fired him. So he dragged his younger brother to Costa Rica for his already-scheduled honeymoon and they never turned back… around the world they went for two full years. This is a fun, heartfelt adventure story about life, relationships, and self discovery.
Self-note: Tip for my future business =D
give employees reasonably high pay to keep them- otherwise they are unlikely to stay loyal.
treat employees not according to how well they treat me but how conscientious they are at work

14Aug09: "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra" w Joyce (it was awesome! best action movie i've ever watched)

21Nov09: "Gokusen" w Mf, Eva, Tony, Sarah (funny inspirational movie)

30Dec09: "Sherlock Holmes" w Irene, Tony, Sweetee (my favourite genre of books made into a movie - what else can be more cool? acting effects humour excitement suspense all in)
12Jan10: "Avatar 3D" w Mom (didn't appreciate the digital effects which everyone wowed about. content etc was so-so. cathay's 3D glasses were too heavy for me)
8Feb10: "The Truman Show" w Ky n sis n Yuhshin (a must-watch. very thought-provoking, funny. reminder to be spontaneous and create your life the way you want, instead of falling into a typical routine
14Feb10: "New York, I Love You" w Mom (I loved it! a good couple movie with meaningful pointers to keep it going. but i think some stories could be more developed)
16Feb10: rewatched "The Pianist" (still find it good, tho i still feel first viewings are the best)
17Feb10: "Valentine's Day" w CHL n WB (laughed throughout - a feel-good movie; liked the fact that the various stories binded tog so well with the little surprises here and there, vs NY ILU in which each story was separate)
20Feb10: "赤壁二" w Addy, Karen, Sharon, SJ (should have watched the first one first cos i ended up not knowing who's who and what's happening and had to keep asking :/ and couldn't pay attn.. if not i think it should be a pretty good movie..)
4Mar10: "Alice in Wonderland 3D" w Mf (i found the 3D effects of this @ CCK Shaw SO much better than Avatar @ The Cathay =/ and the movie was much more enjoyable too! - cheered a sad me up :)) favourite quote - the Mad Hatter: “You used to be much muchier before. ... You have lost your muchness.”)
18Mar10: "Nodame Cantabile" w Irene, Mf (i thoroughly enjoyed some of the orchestra pieces - SO impressive! the expressions of the actors were really amusing :D)
23Apr10: "Ice Kacang Puppy Love" w Mom (funny, touching and meaningful - about love between friends and family. i cried 3 tissues! cos some touching parts i could really understand the feelings of the characters involved)
Inception
Letters to God (very simple Christian movie)
22Nov10: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" w Ame, Irene (they loved it. pretty good, i guess the main problem i had was that im not familiar with HP :X)
13Dec10: "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" w Sj (not bad, could follow the story unlike HP. like the meaningful teachings, too long - in a post)
2Mar11: "The King's Speech" w Ame (hilarious, inspirational, tho it doesn't impress me that much to understand why it's the Oscar winner)
Mar11: "10 Things I Hate About You" very funny. silly sweet high school romance. just right for having breaks in between doing homework
23May11: "Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides" w Wb Yl Ame Pg (pretty good - scenery, freakish parts, fighting scenes, dressing, humour, bits of Christianity like when the Spanish said "only God gives life")
6Jun11: "Xmen First Class" w Wb Ame Pg (i was very keen on watching it and it was really good! intellectual, makes sense, cool action, some humour)
9Jun11: "Legally Blonde 2" w Irene (seems like some dumb blonde movie but kind of meaningful too - speaking up for yourself and what you stand for)
17Jun11: "Something Borrowed" w Sandy Lisa (quite funny, somewhat meaningful wrt friendships. they didn't like the lack of sense for one part tho)
16Jul11: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" w Irene, Sweetee, Kw (not bad. i didn't understand some parts again but the humour and effects were pretty good)
Aug11 "Horrible Bosses" w Ma (she fell asleep! gosh. the movie was very crude i must say but there was the humour)
25Oct11: "The Three Musketeers" w H (i would rate it 3.5 for humour/intellectual language and 4 for action. it's by the same producer or director as Sherlock! but a bit less awesome albeit a good chill out movie)
5Nov11: "Real Steel" w Hl (action packed but not too hardcore for me. i liked that there was the father and son element and how the father eventually softened his heart and especially the part when charlie was having trouble telling max sth and max was so understanding saying "Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me." touching and demonstrates true fighting spirit)
12Dec11: "50/50" w L (adopting her words - a heavy topic put across in a lighthearted way, but not taking away d meaning. most of it was rather hollywood-ish trashiness but there were a couple of punch lines "u can't change ur parents, but u can change d way u respond to them.")
25Dec11: "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" w KY (ultimate action packed! super tense almost throughout the movie, and interesting Tom Cruise made it such that not everything happened smoothly - he would jump and misland and get all sorts of injuries..it's really the courage to jump without hesitation even though you are not sure you'll be alive after that. KY loved d movie and said she would watch it again!)
3Jan12: "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" w KY (i love mystery (: and the witty sarcastic dialogues. good level of excitement with the action. didn't understand some parts as usual. i like Holmes and Watson they depict such a true pair of buddies ;D)
23Jan12: "You are the Apple of My Eye" w mom (now i understand why guys like this movie so much - the anxiety of chasing after a girl and the acts schoolboys do to get the girl's attention and hopefully affection. the initial fluttering and the subsequent quarrelling)
22Mar12: "The Iron Lady" w KY (really love Thatcher's sharp words. inspiring and thought-provoking, tho i was still left uncertain of what to do with my life, the movie is definitely an encouraging one)
29Mar12: "Barney's Version" w SJ (a funny movie of a screwed up life of a man who had 3 wives, smoked and drank but very heartwarming at the same time, the relationships with the dad and the 3th wife - quotable quotes!)
27Apr12: "The Hunger Games" w Mom
4May12" "Avengers" w MF n PS (funny, action-packed)
7Jul12: "The Amazing Spiderman"
21Jul12: "The Dark Knight Rises" (fantastic depth, loved the twists)
