WEll, the title of this post is "smoking". I've been flipping, or in this case, scrolling back down my blogging lane and i realized almostt everything in this blog is about life and difficulties and blah blah blah...so i have decided to post more mature and type about stuff that are important.
WEll, as i was saying, y'know, i really wonder sometimes, why do people smoke everyday? I mean, its 100% disadvantages and 0% advantages. Well..what could you possibly gain from having black teeth and yellow fingernails? Possibly the next role as a mutated gollum from Lord Of The Rings. Anyone up for it? Yeah, i thought so.

Smoking harms our environment and contributes to global warming. We all get hot. literally. Who wants to live in a hell? No one-well if you exclude satanists or sommething. As i said, smoking contributes to global warming, and helps speed up the process. We all breathe in the smoke and cough and whatever...by breathing this stuff, we are actually becoming passive smokers ourself. I bet the only thing smokers gain from doing this is...um...wait...let me think... NOTHING!

REally! So all you smokers out there or would-be-smokers because some of your ridiculous friends dared you to...stop smoking! Save the environment! And all that holy mantra of environmental crap! 3 cheers for mother earth! Lets all live longer!

That's all folks.

So anyway, lets just review on the second day of camp. Personally, this was not my favourite day of camp; in fact this was the day that i disliked. So many foot drills!!!!!!! But the good things is we only had 1 and a half hours of foot drills. The rest of the 1/2 hour we spent gossiping. OOps sorry. I mean the girls were gossiping. The boys were just being ridiculous. Sam and i were jut sitting by the drain, talking to malini and venetta.
Before that, we were doing some games, one of which was like walking briskly to the courtyard to get this certain number which was scribbled on a paper plate. At this point in time, i just wanna tell u guys that enoch lost his mechanical pencil. While we were given the briefing, enoch was (how many) metres away, looking for his pencil. Sheesh. Talk about sentimental value. No offense, enoch. Well, then. Moving on.
We had lunch next. It was pretty ok,but i spent more time talking to sam. After that we had yet another tiring but quite fun activity. We had to work with some roman shields thing. We had to be in formation and do some formations like orb formation, and and and turtle formation and some formations that i forgot. Mr khairol was our instructor. One activity we did while we were in orb formation was that he would hurl projectiles at us and see if our shields would hold or he would go around prodding and poking at any area that want occupied by shield or human. So it was quite fun. TWO hours straight. Well anyway.
Next we had to do some sports chambarra. Sorry but i have no idea how to spell that word. Ok, it involves holding this rubber thing and whack people all over their body. but with tactics. So first we were asked to go around the whole hall barefoot and not smack into anyone. And if we smacked into any of the teachers or instructors, they would whack us below our knees. Next activity was to run around the hall and hit anyone below their knees. Its not that painful but you would be quite stunned if you got hit. Zhi Jun was a tyrant. Ok ok he was mentally furious and vicious in mortal combat. He whacked zunnur above the knees and in the end she had to rest by the side first. Oh well, some people are like that.
Next we had to spar with some people. My first opponent was ian, my classmate. He was quick and attacked really well. Ithink i was slightly less quick and always on the defensive but i rarely attacked. Well anyway we circled a few rounds and hit each other at some point in time and ian wrapped the battle up by smacking me on my head.
Sam's opponent was zhi jun. I'm sorry, sam but i kinda expected zhi jun to win because sam's pretty shor- i mean, vertically challenged. Zhi jun, well to make a long story short, is a boulder of strength and well, fats. No offense intended here. So i was pretty surprised when sam ran forward with surprising speed and whcked zhi jun around the body consecutively 4 times. We were all, like, laughing at the unexpected turn of events. Sam cornered zhi jun, still whacking viciously. We all cheered for sam. Go Sam!
Well, Isaac sparred with enoch and we laughed a bit at the first part because enoch beckoned isaac forward with a little curve of his fingers and when enoch didn't show his weapon, isaac inched forward. When isaac was nearenough, Enoch whipped out his weapon and bashed isaac's head with it. No offense isaac, if your reading this, but we kinda laughed bit.
Well the battle was pretty good, a little smack ,a little ka-pow the works.

P.s. I experienced a little bit of friction while sparring because i tripped and i dragged my foot across the floor and it scraped the floor. Well.


Next,haha. was dinner. We were supposed to cook our own rice, boil and cook our own soup, cook our own fish, fry our own omelettes and barbecue our own chicken wings. I'm not being biased here, but i think our class cooked the best meal of all the classes because we didn't burn our chicken wings. Our soup tasted like bak kut teh soup( Sorry if the spelling' wrong.), without the bak kut teh. Our rice was still pretty good. Bland but edible. Fish was good' however we could only eat a small portion of it as we only had 3 slices. Omelette was good but we didn't have enough to feed everybody. At this point in time, i shall jus want to tell CERTAIN people not to be greedy and take some more of the food when some of the working people didn't even eat yet.
Speaking of which, i shall have to post a thank you note on that acknowledgement board in school.
R6, or Pathica, burnt all their chicken wings and some inconsiderate people stole 2 bags of their chicken wings.
R2, or Italica, only had soup and plain rice to eat for dinner.
I don't know about any other group but i still think ours was pretty good. After that our group had to wash up. It pretty exhausting but quite fun. AAARGH! The universe has gone wrong! Ryan likes doing chores!? AAARGH! Well, it wasn't that bad. It was nice to wash it at night woth the headlamps on and washing up with the girls..Haha..just kidding.
After that, we had to practise our campfire skit item which you can see above. Malini was the choreographer... and i think she's the best choreographer i ever met..Wooh!
So after that we went to shower. Girls, at this point in time, you can choose to stop reading this part and scroll down to read the rest. Your choice. Because it's pretty gross. So beware. You have been warned.
GROSS ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
while the boys were bathing, some idiot kept opening the doors with coin. Idiotic, right? Don't need to thin, just say yes.
And this idiot even looked over from the other stall when i was bathing. What a pervert. Well, i shouted at him and he ignored me for the rest of the night afterwards. Blessing of blessings! A shame he started talking to me the next days..... oh well.
We had lights out after i talked to sam. So, that's all for today. Bye.

{/Romit --

( 5:28 PM )

I am so pissed off at romit! Ok, not that pissed, but..hm..how should i put it? Ok, i am emotionally distressed at romit.
Ok, for you guys out there, if you dont know, romit is this guy i met while auditioning for SOTA. We were god friends in the audition, but lately we have some friendship probl-"difficulties". This is what he wrote in his blog.


"okokokok- tis is gotto be shared to d entire world: OK-I have recently lost my Memory.......I DUNNOT NOE MII PAST!!!!! here lemme show u mii actual Friends frm S.O.T.A....-Krish...Zahra.....Victoria....Tat is all hu i noe- the rest- HU r u pple???? ok- Don't u opeople think tat classifying people according to friends is mature???? It's so immature!!! 'Summ' pple seriouslii freek me out-How can I display my feelings?-Alrite- I will respect a person's privacy.

I visit his/her blog n it's filled with gay dstuff. Alrite- u noe it's a guy.... n he so he shows ridiculous pictures with him and it's repeated in POSTS A MONTH BACK! n wen I flopped mii Exams, he is inspired to mock me-like this-" Hmmph, I don't noe how much I attained, But I sure Did pass!!!!" I mean lyke- OMG!!!!! HOw immature can he get? And then when a Enoc is chasing me, he is determined to take a video.............Y can't he juzt leave me alone? I mean he's definately better dan sum others butt HELLO????? U donot need to be a loser. I'm so disappointed in him. He's not gay but he's very affected when someone calls him one- ok- that's alright. He was my pretty gd friend from the very start- And now he endz up boasting to me??!! HOW NAUSEATING!!! In his blog, he's embarrasing his own self>>>>>>really....
Ok- I hope for his best that he will turn over a new leaf"

Excerpts from romit's blog.

Everything in there is about me!
And they are all wrong!

First of all, if he lost his memory, he wouldn't be able to retrieve his blog username and password, or even remember that he has NO, i mean HAS, friends.
Second f all, its not anyone's fault that he has so few friends but himself's! Coz the way he talks to people, and all that other crap, just irks us and we get really angry.
Third of all, when he says " Hu r u pple???", i have only one answer to give him- "ask and you will receive". Hehe.
Fourth of all, its not "Don't u opeople think tat classifying people according to friends is mature???? It's so immature!!!
Grammatical mistakes like "opeople" and doesn't he know that the what he wrote means "Don't you people think that classifying people to friends is mature???? He's actually siding with me! Let's just say he has a lot to learn when it comes to literature.
Tell you guys later about more mistakes. Bye amigoes.

{/Camp S.P.Q.R --

( 5:00 PM )

Hi guys! I'm back from camp! It was so awesome that i am gonna tell you alll about it!!! Sit back against some comfortable cushion and listen good!
Ok, i started the day with my mum waking me up( alarm clock spoiled), i ate some breakfast,got changed and carried my camp bag and sleeping stuff into the car and drove off to school. When i got there, alethea was also getting out of her parents; car. So,i carried my stuff to the aphitheatre and waited for the teachers. sooooo...we did the flag-raising and went to meet our camp instructors. By the way, my class is called ' Ferrata ' and my colour is purple. Yeah i know guys, purple is the international gay colour. every class is given some colour band to signify their colour-
R1- Yellow strings
R2- Green wristbands( alright, not really wristbands, just some cloth to wrap their wrists....hmm...in a way its called a wristband too...)
R3- Red hairspray
R4- Purple shoelaces( Don't say anything. Wearing them is humiliation enough.)
R5- Pink something.(I didn't notice anything different.)
R6- Blue face paint
So, after that we received our breakfast- steaming muffins! Which taste like...something we don't really like. I drank the milo.
After that, i got a lip rash. Don't blame the personal hygiene, blame the muffins. Anyway, it can't be my personal hygiene that gave me the rash because i, for one, don't like smearing bacteria all over my lips. ( eurgh...)
Then, we went to the basketball to do some foot drills for two hours. TWO HOURS. Yeah, we don't particularly love foot drills huh.
So, after that, we had lunch. Ok, at this point in time, lemme tell u, lunch, in camp, are always not delicacies. I threw the food away after taking a lot of bites. After that, we had to design our flags and create our cheers. I think i can still remember the lyrics of our cheer- goes like this:

"Fly Kite"
Fight like a champion!
Fight! Fight!
Go like a champion!
Go! Go!
Fight like a champion! Go like a champion!
All the rest can go fly kite!

Fly kite, Fly kite, All the rest can go fly kite
Later, Kana lightning strike
Nanananana! Nananananana!
(Scream like little girls.)

I'm too lazy to tell you people more about the cheers, but thats my favourite. Tell you more later.
See ya.

{/Stuff,stuff and more stuff --

18.5.08 ( 2:12 PM )

Crank dammit! There are, like, 6 or 7 good movies all waiting to be watched but i juz can't go..i wanna watch it with a friend! Movies like Speed racer, The forbidden Kingdom, Superhero movie, Iron Man,and coming out are Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jnes and the crystal skull or something like that...Y'know, i used to think that it was Harrison Ford playing the stunts out on the movie...i didn't suspect that there was a stunt double that did all that stuff...so i was just picturing 60 plus year old harry ford cracking his bullwhip and swinging across the set, snap his back, let go of the bullwhip and smack into the jeep he's supposed to land into..haha. Well,this is in my imagination so producers of the movie, please don't sue me! haha...
In speed Racer,it's kinda cool...but i think that if emile hirsch or whoever that guy who plays speed in speed racer slicks his hair back,he'll look totally plastic and robotic...haha...just a joke. But seriously, when the producers of the orginal series created speed racer, couldn't they have come up with another name, a beteer one which is not so..um...weird-sounding? Which parent n their right mind would name a baby speed racer? Which parent even has the surname RACER? Kinda weird if you see it like that...hmm? Yeah, i thought so too.
Great, the holidays are coming and the teachers have just piled us with a truckload of homework...sigh...the life of someone who studies in a new school... Well,i gotta go call my classmate coz there's just so much homework that i practically forgot most of them... AAAAAaargh! Maybe i'll die of stress or something...haha( touches wooden table)


Note to self: Is it possible for people to die of stress or work to death? Hmm...its a possibility.
