Hmm... you want it? Be nice then!

School politics are in such a way that u do not have to qualify for the job, you just have to be liked by the right people. If you vying for a post and you've got good relations with the seniors, you'll most probably get the post rather than someone else who is more qualified. That's what i felt bout myself when i was in form 4 and was selected as one of the SPL and then to the post of secretary. I had joined only in form 2 and was inactive during my 1st 2 years. I only realized i liked scouts during the end of form 3 where i soon joined the SR. I guess i was just lucky for since i enjoyed scouts, i worked hard and did alot for it. However, as to me being selected for the post, there were a few more people who should i say are more qualified for the post, not only because they have an extra year of experience but also maybe, in their higher scouting skills in comparison to mine. Ostensibly, i think i got the post because my seniors liked me more than the others. Maybe im wrong, and that ive been chosen because they believed that i have qualities that exceed others. I hope im wrong.

So that's that. Last week, i went for an interview for the form six council. Originally i had no interest for it. However, i had nthg else in school besides scouts which will make my school term very boring. Hitherto, i went for the interview and requested for the post of secretary. ( I've enjoyed being on in form 5 thus i wanted to be one this year). Nevertheless, i was not accepted. The reason for my refusal of membership was that i was too arrogant. WTF? Is that even a valid reason? But as i think back a lil and start to reminisce bout the past, i agreed once more towards my perception that if you're liked by the seniors, you'll definitely get the post regardless i you're qualified or not. I wasnt very happy with the decision, 1st because of the stupid reason that i am an arrogant person and 2nd because i felt there was no one else more suited for the job. That's just how i feel, that there aint no on else out there who is better. ( There was a friend whom i had thought who make a good secretary too but he was rejected too) I am truly not satisfied at the selection but alas, i am powerless. Too bad the seniors didnt like me much. Maybe i should've satay-ed them more? XD... maybe not, i dont like mixing with people who does not show any prudence in their actions. OH well, i hope the people elected will be able to do their job well. I do not want to see them fail eventhough i am disappointed and unsatisfied. Oh well, fuck it. Cheers!

Coffee, Tea or Fists?

Fights are bound to ensue when we study in an all boys school. That is how boys settle up their differences. However, we are longer boys are we? When we reach the age of 17, why do we still choose to fight instead of opting for discussion?
However, i cannot deny the fact that a certain part of me agrees to these fights. It's not the right thing to do, however, when talking fails and there is dissent among the ranks, a fist fight could throw it all away. When there is an obvious winner (and loser) people tend to think it's all concluded and the matter is settled. Fairly, man to man or should i say, boy to boy. = On the contrary, i also feel that it's unfruitful for 17 & 18 years olds to resort to brute force rather then sitting over a cup of coffee and talking things out. If we cannot be mature enough to settle our differences amicably, we have no right to 'run' the school. " A man is like steel, when he loses his temper, he loses his worth. " If we are not able to control our temper and act as we seem fit, we are not young adults instead is a childish boy acting like some big shot.
So, what's my point? In my honest opinion, not only do i think resorting to fist fights is wrong, i think it's very stupid and childish of us 17-18 yr olds to be doing that. However, i cannot help but feel that certain issues are best to be settled in the ring rather than thru a cup of coffee. Cheers!! What Do You Think?

Happy B'day

It was the birthday of a friend of mine or should I say good friend rather I think I should say the birthday of a dear friend of mine. It on the 17th of July but the party was held yesterday at his place. It started ‘round 7 or was supposed to but people started coming 30-40 mins after. I wonder next time if they’ll be 30-40 mins late for their job interview, hmm…
So, we, friends decided to get him a cake, from secret recipe of coz. They are one of the best makers or should I say bakers of cake in town. So I went to buy the cake with lik sheng and I wanted the choc banana but liks suggested we get the tiramisu or choc fudge. I did not like the look of the choc fudge so we bought the tiramisu cake with the writings: ‘Happy B’day Putut XD’
About 20 guests were present yesterday. I thought he invited more. Or maybe he didn’t. Don’t know and don’t really care. He ordered a caterer to serve food. And it was delicious. Stewed lamb, fried chicken, curry beef, curry chicken, roasted chicken wings and satay. I would be insulting myself if I didn’t go for seconds.
Then the cake was brought out and we sang the song that are s’posed to be sung and took pictures. Yeap, we were all cam whoring. =) Then things began to slow down and everything started to sit in their own groups. The scouts were sitting in one corner, the Chinese speaking people in the other and those who are non-victs at another. Sounds like a wonderful party eh?
It ended around 10-ish? Not sure but I stayed till 11-ish to accompany my friends whose car has not yet arrive to pick him up. We started chatting bout our lives, his in u.k. and ours here in form 6. And here aint any differences at all. We were, no, we are trying to pursue academic excellence together. We do know that form 6 is a lil tougher than A lvl’s (people to seems to think otherwise) thus we have to put in more effort and could not afford to hold back and be lazy.
I wish u a very happy birthday my friend. And I wish for myself to be able to change to a better student. God bless & Cheers!

Good Riddance Sean !!!!!

After a long surpression, i finally had the chance to break free from all responsibilities... albeit only for one night. My friends and i and seanie(cous) head down to a club yesterday to drink and dance. It was seanie last weekend here as he's going back to Aus on monday. I'll miss ur ass man!! We were s'posed to meet at 'round 11'ish infront of the club but i only went to pick up seanie and charles at 11. Funny however, we were still the 1st to arrive.
Originally, we were planning to go to maison. However, a friend suggested we go to cynna saying it's nice with lotsa chix. As we were walking there, we passed by LOFT. With 3 ferrari's parked infront, LOFT looks nice... and expensive but then it's strictly 21 & above only so what the heck, we couldnt get in. We lingered there for awhile,while waiting for our friends and deciding where to go.
Finally, after much bickering, we headed down to maison a walk away. There was 10 of us and seanie was to open one bottle himself and the other 9 share the other bottle. Seanie paid like 400 bucks and the rest of us contributed 200. So we paid up and waited in line. A bouncer was checking id's. I dont think he even looked at the numbers. Everyone passed thru, easily.
A few of us half expected that it'll be a boring night. Since we half expected that maison was a boring club. And it was.... for the 1st 30 minutes. We just lingered around the table, drinking casually and smoking. ( I dont smoke). After downing more confidence booster liquids, the nite started to pick up pace and getting a little high.
Trotting back and forth from the dance floor back to our seats was not fun since we were seated upstairs and the dancefloor and the lower floor. Asked my friends to teach me how to shuffle and was learning quite a bit b4 i headed down there. They taught me how to move my legs 1st but i wanted to learn the hands movement. It's like trying to swim before u can even walk. Hahaha. But i couldnt care less, after downing a few 3 secs - God, who in his smart ass created 3 secs!!!- my confidence was boosted and my shyness locked away!
Started dancing on the dancefloor 'dazzling' everyone with my killer dance moves. Enjoying myself and making my friends laugh. I think i prolly made a fool outta myself and was an utter embarrassment. I was having fun! As i was ' impressing ' everyone, this gal came up to me and beckoned me to look at her....dance. LOL. Yeap, she came up to me and taught me how to shuffle - a lil bit-. So she was leading and i started following and it was fun until her friend or boyfriend came and took her away. Bummer! Thus, went back up and continued drinking more.
Alas, all good things must come to an end and it was round 3 i think that we had to leave. I THINK it's around 3. We lingered infront of the club entrance for awhile and i vomitted a lil bit. Then my friends decided to go to the mamak shop not stall but a shop nearby. Ordered a teh panas which i drank only a sip before i dragged myself into the toilet and started wasting myself there. Nevertheless, try as i might i couldnt vomit and all that was coming out was my saliva.
I couldnt drive home. Seanie cant drive [he was drunk and he dont have his license, yet ;) ] So charles took the liberty of driving us back to his crib. I wanted to vomit out but i couldnt. Maybe i should've drank more. Crashed at his place for a little while and managed to check my dom( it's a game). Altho i got wasted, i can still walk straight and think clearly and am aware of my surroundings - if u know what i mean - ;). Left his place around 5 and was driving like an asshole on the empty road. i think i managed to keep the steering wheel straight. Seanie suggested we go to McD's and have a bite. Ordered 2 fillet-o-fish set but only he finish his food. I couldnt even bring myself to eat. FUCK, i wasted McD's !! I was blur on which road to take and somehow passed thru 2 fucken toll booths. Which come to think of it, have no need of passing thru if i took the correct route. Anyway, managed to send seanie home and me to mine safely.
Crashed onto my bed at 6'ish and woke up 5 hours later with no hangover what so ever. Wtf man, really should've drank more!! I enjoyed myself, alot after such a long hibernation. LOL. Seanie's going to aus tmrw and will only be back for the december hols. See me SHUFFLE then seanie!!! wakaka.
P.S. : Do drink and drive! Not only does 100 kph feels slow,driving and manouvering is done w/o concern of crashing into things. :) TRY IT !!!! Cheers!

Rovering rovers.....

Recently we have just opened up our troop to the lower 6 girls in good faith that they will be boon to our troop. After having a meeting with the teacher adviser and getting the green light for establishing the rovers, we set off publicising our troop to the girls. We went class to class explaining to the girls what scouts are all about and when they will achieve if they join and what they will ultimately miss out if they did not.
So we talked to the arts classes first and the response there was moderate. People were listening and showing some interest. However, we didnt put much hope on them... and i dont know why. Then we took the opportunity of explaining to my class, L6BF. They were all very interested or so it seemed to me. With a positive body language, they listened and started asking relevant questions which made us very happy for it gave us a fake hope that all or at least a majority of 'em wanted to join. Finally we went to L6BM and boy o' boy was that class full of shit. Not only were their faces cannot be looked at, they have to show disinterest and a' oh god why am i here' look. So it really pissed most of us off and we left chris to handle them by himself.
Thus, after making all the necessary publicity, we decided to hold the installation today after making sure that we have at least 8 soon-to-be members. As we were preparing ourselves, our teacher adviser barged in and wanted us to cancel the installation and also to scrap the idea of taking in girls for rovers. He based his reasons that "accidents" has happened b4 when girls are allowed into the troop and that we the 6 of us, will not be able to give enough attention to the troop. We then countered by assuring him that none of these accidents will happen and that we can very well control ourselves. We are not all full of horns anyway!! So we spent 15 minutes arguing back and forth on that matter with our teacher saying accidents ARE going to happen and that we will not be able to divide our attention properly and us saying we are able to control ourselves and that we can divide our attention as best as possible. So i suggested that we be given a 3 month trial period and if it doesnt owrk out, we will disband the rovers. he was very reluctant and instead gave a weak leeway of 1 month trial period.
After dealing with our teacher adviser, we continued with our installation as planned. Everything went smoothly and the turn out was okay. 11 new members divided into 2 patrols. As it was running late, we took down their biodata's and they were dismissed as soon as that was accomplished.
We were quite satisfied with the turn out altho we did expect better. However, it was all good and with luck on our side, the newly appointed members will be able to spread the word and ignite the interest of others. Cheers!!!
