they came to my house to film a really strange video. but it's really quite funny; i think sam will upload it soon. luckily mrs ang didnt walk past when we were doing our 'ba xian' thing :P.

stoned, sleepy and happy. whispers eyes are scary here. maybe tsewei's traumatising her. he was obsessed with whisper the whole time.

perfect picture! boss is totally blocked by cute bumper.

bumper's running away...

finally. first pubco outing where there's full attendance!

lastly, wenxi acting weird. who knows why. happy 18th birthday to boss, though.

here's an opportunity to publicise whisper! she looks so sleepy.... but what do you expect? she's sitting on a bio tut.

wonder if we'll ever have another complete pubbie outing. ah well.

PW Outing - the first

2005-11-22T23:46:00.000+08:00

PW outing today! The turnout wad kinda (not expected) and (pathetic). Only 6 of us turned up (that is if you count Jierong). Comm sec, please take attendance: Shitty, Karin, Haining, Jierong, Tsewei and Me. Wait! No one's taking attendance! Ah! Our dear secretary was grounded at home.... =(. In the afternoon, Daen and Weeleng joined us.

We had lots of fun!! We played beach vball, which we noobs were trying to hit the ball, which ended up in the wrong direction, and wow-ed at how tsewei handled the ball. Haha.

We went kayaking later and played this ice-n-melt game. Of cos, we had a big big big plan, which was to capsize our president. We tried so hard as jierong tried hard too, to stay on his boat. But in the end, mission accomplished!

We played pool tooo... tried to save on the balls but were spotted. So lau-kui! Haha. Oh... and there was this spot-the-difference games. Despite we had 8 ppl trying to spot the difference, we still cant beat 05S71's high score (they wrote their BIG NAME there... haha). I bet they had like 20 ppl surrounding the machine or smth liddat, or else, how could have they gotten first? But, after many many many many many tries, out best was a mere 3rd. Go find our big name... HCI32SCPW. <-- this IS a code, figure it out. Haha.

Oh, and of cos, we tried to take photos (of ourselves) la! And keeping in mind PUBCO's superior photo-taking skills (since PJs aint around), this was what we got on the first try:

(ps: look at our -pretty- ahem shitty. Heh. Oh! And you can tell who took the photo eh? Haha)

Alas, after a few attempts, we succeeded. It was not easy ok, considering that we took this photo on the moving beach tram. =P

After that, was 3-in-a-photo.

Oh, and the self-named Beach Babes tried to take a babe photo. And me went to ka-chiao them... haha... so it turned out...

After Da En and Weeleng joined us, there was a volleyball show down. It was team CoCo (shitty happily gave that name since we 4 were once from CO... haha) comprising of me-shiity-karin-jierong...

VERSUS

team brazil (tse was wearing a brazil jersey) tsewei-haining-weeleng-daen. And -needless- to say, team CoCo trashed the other team... haha. And they still owe us an ice-cream from New Zealand Natural.

And to conclude the day, a group photo taken!

PUBCO on ice

2005-11-06T09:02:00.000+08:00

Whee... first time ice-skating and it was a ground-shattering experience (well, that was when I fell, lots of time =P).

Oh, and we wanted to take a pic with snow falling and we did! Budden tsewei and mon left for arcade then =(. And with pubco's incredible photo-taking skills (as seen from national day), these were the best we took before my cam died on me.

Ice-skating was so fun! Ankle hurts now... =P

unnamed magazine

2005-07-05T23:30:00.000+08:00

whew. marathon of blocks is finally over.

was thinking of our publication thing... had a few more ideas. please comment/add/reject/critcise anything below. there are A LOT of completely random things.

The whole idea is to let the students relate more to the content of the magazine. Eg if your friend/you/your CCA/your teacher is in the magazine, you’d probably be interested right?
Layout could be cool. eg if MOCH then since the name is backwards, the magazine could be backwards as well
Name the different sections according to our mag name [we mentioned this before]. Eg if CSI [I quite like it actually] then we can have “evidence” “crime scene” etc. Btw how’s ‘CSI: HwaChong’ for an extension to the name? Cos they have like ‘CSI: Las Vegas’ and stuff
Article about teachers to get the students interested.
==> Best teacher ‘competition’. Maybe even in different categories, e.g. best-looking teacher, nicest teacher, best teacher etc. Can pass survey forms to CTs to collaborate
Interview a teacher [with a sense of humour and lame-ness], asking totally wacko questions
==> Tribute to teachers who are leaving eg Ms Keung [bio tutor]
Encourage people to submit literary works. Maybe even drawings, paintings etc.
Trips like NZ, Mongolia, Europe, Perak: accounts could be more on the informal side. Like talk about the interesting things that happened rather “on day 1 we went to _____. It was fun.” -_-
Feature interesting people.
==> interview J2 geniuses who are taking 3 S papers on their ‘secrets to studying’
==> interview people leaving HC for things like UWC scholarship
==> Interview people like bobo when he comes back regarding overseas attachment [entice the sec 4s to come]
CCAs [maybe selective or small feature on each one, which would be beneficial for the sec 4s as well]: feature those who have competed. Can also include the low profile, non-sports CCAs, eg norvus, HnF, VnR [campfire?]
When we advertise the paying thing we can entice people with the money: 3c per copy X 10 copies per CT X 60CTs = at least 18 bucks.
Open spaces for CCA groups to advertise upcoming events. Not sure if there are any more, eg concerts and stuff. At no cost or at most a nominal sum. We can also advertise welfare room services [maybe welco can come up with a professional looking advert as if it were a shop :P]
If we’re doing the ‘past’ thing: tell people that if they have parents/relatives from hc and wish to do an extensive substantial interview or report or article, we can consider it too [ie for payment].
The food correspondent idea was pretty good. Introduce a good, cheap nearby, not-that-popular-yet place to the students. Maybe we can also evaluate the canteen food, with reports etc from shiqi.
Encouragement notes for the j2s from their respective j1 CTs or CCAs, considering we’ll be publishing in oct.
If we’re selling extra copies, maybe we can get the bookshop auntie to help us [dunno if we must pay her commission], cos more people go in and out of the bookshop all day and people usually browse through the magazines at the door.
If our bubble gabble takes off well, we can quote some thoughts on current issues, pressing school problems and stuff like that.

yup thats about it. :D

reminder:

morning meeting at 7.10 on THURSDAY. DO NOT BE LATE.
GM on satudary at 1pm. DO NOT BE LATE
JTS on saturday starting at 4+ or 5+.

hey! this has no relation to anything, but i got it by email & its pretty insightful :)

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

"I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky – I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me – I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much. "

pubco jiayou all the way! [esp with mounds of work + blocks :D]
and all the best to wenxi, the best boring boss ever!

Before I'm gone....

When we reached the beach, it started raining. Our bags were wrapped and we were chewing away.

After the rain had stopped, we were swimming/floating about in the satly waters. And we played monkey too!

And next up was the buffet @ sakae!

After lunch + dinner, we attempted to play volleyball. By that time, only 8 of us were left =(. And we took more photos after our game! (We managed to take a photo with rhe siloso words, but it didnt turn out nice)

And yeah! that summarised our day @ sentosa! =D

The next day was manyue, in the kiddy room @ KAP! Played many games and had lots of fun, eh? And we had our happy meal! (I was so hungry that i ordered 20pc nuggets! Hah =P). To end off, we had our manyue cake which *poof* out from an egg tart!

random random thoughts

2005-05-29T20:38:00.000+08:00

heh. i shall listen to boss and be a good pubbie and blog! mm let's see. i quite liked camp. and i had two other pubbies in my group so i was at home in delta :) thought i'd just die for leap of faith but being the assistant ic and watching everyone jump before me, i had more than enough visualisations. yeah! so i caught the bloody bar. haha. getting quite annoyed with the sunburn. i must not scratch bleh. and tmr till friday is pre u sem--dont feel like going. i'll be missing tons of stuff (pubco stuff included) my holiday will be eaten up again :( hmm. i think we did nicely for v & r campfire *grin* so last minute. haha. i know my hands weren't listening to me so i looked retarded because i was shouting one action and doing another. go wenxi! haha. you're so adorable when trying to do speedy. jiayou :)oh regarding jts the cost of the meal isnt really the issue with me--i've decided that i'll be willing to pay regardless of the amount. but i think we really must have some time apart from the meal to bond/interact together ya? time to pack my bag. toodles.

yes! i can blog!!

Hullo!
Mich Chew here... So happy I can finally blog here. Haha. Just got my invitation... coz there was a small mix up with the email adds... (serves me right for keeping so many i suppose) but yes! I can finally blog! Am a bit high currently.. just came up from the kitchen (where I was baking some almond biscuits which taste quite nice) and for some reason i'm very high ^^ could be that i ate too much of the biscuits and am now on a sugar high :P
Oh yay! Just went to look at the blog and the tag board's up! My class uses flooble chatterbox. tag board! tag board! 17th will be ok..so we play first then eat or eat first then play. or play then eat then play O.o sorry if i'm being very wierd... i only get into my high moods once in awhile.. not too often ^^ it's SUNDAY!!! Lol.
Yep.. shall stop flooding the blog now and go clean up... was sweating like mad in the kitchen. My mom went in earlier and she was like "i told you to rest... or your ankle won't get any better!" i didn't listen to her though (whooooops..) so now my ankle IS aching some but shhhh... sigh. shall be good and prop my foot up for the rest of the day (excepting packing for preU sem) and um... i dunno. read.draw.write. oh wait! i shall try doing a design for council-tee! (assuming i've got any ideas that is) i've no idea what colour to make my design really... i've been trying to think of colours that look good with denim. There's always white i guess... hm.
ouchies! Just burnt my tongue on my green tea (yay! i love green tea ^^ it's ni-ice) drats... i keep doing that. 80% of the time I consume something hot/scalding whatever I end up burning my tongue. or throat. even when i drink soup >.<
Okay, shall REALLY stop flooding the blog now.

ps. purple is ni-ice too!
mich c.

JTS... again

2005-05-28T23:43:00.000+08:00

well.... we have yet to settle on our JTS. Looks like our dear seniors are v enthu abt the jap buffet, but den $$-wise isnt v encouraging.

Anyway, we are planning to make this JTS a one-day thing at Sentosa... So that we can have fun at the beach and do many many activities there too. Hope that thru this, we can be bonded more closely? And we can have lunch at Sakae (Jap too. =P bleahs). yUps... haha

And on top of of that, we are proposing another 3 venues:
1. Sizzler
2. Sketches
3. Yuki Yaki

yUps... that's basically about it... any feedback or comments from the seniors?

Oh yah, to add on. Joyce cant make it on the 16th, so we will be having the JTS on the 17th instead. Any problems with that?

RANDOM

2005-05-28T13:48:00.000+08:00

oh yea! camp's finally over and im burnt all over(hey!there's rhythm.haha.dionk.)and ive got allergy reactions.heh.but im so thankful for my nice (flush-able) toilet now=)hhah.naayaah, just being extremely random.tryin to get the feel of using the comp back.yadayada~yep/see u guys at campfire later! (",)

JTS!

2005-05-23T18:05:00.000+08:00

yO people... shall we discuss abt JTS now? Some "background info"... we will be covering $15 for each senior... hope that isnt too much for everybody?

Anyway, our snrs have more or less settled on the Jap buffet at King's Arcade (somewhere between coro and crown centre), and the cost is about $30++ per pax. Besides that, they are also proposing another Jap buffet at kuishinbo (located at suntec) and it's $25++ per pax.

On top of that... here is a list of nice-nice buffets:

Hotel rendezvous
[International cuisine]
$21.90++

Shangri-la Hotel (The Line)
[International cuisine]
$41++

Grand Hyatt
[Local cuisine]
around $30 ~ $35++

Conrad Centennial Hotel (Oscar's Cafe)
[Local and International cuisine]
$33++

btw... the tentative date and time for JTS is 16 June, lunchtime period (12 - 3pm???).

All prices stated above are meant for weekday lunches. yUps. Needa pay "a lil more" for dinner.

(PS: Actualli, i'm quite keen on the buffet at Shangri-la, cos it was featured on tv and it was super super super good. Haha =P. But well, that buffet is not possible financially, unless we dun mind paying $56? i cant afford it anyway... 56 bucks for a meal is simply too crazy... or mabbe we can eat from lunch to dinner, then that will cover 2 meals? Haha =P)
