Half Freedom?

Hmm okay not even half the class has attained freedom yet.

1. Go collect the questions papers from our class letter tray if you want them back okay? The letter tray is very filled with exam questions of different subjects, so don't leave them rotting and waste your hundreds of bucks spent on these few days.
[But I guess the next time we'll step into the school would be during March HUH and you don't get to wear your GREY uniform already]

2. Hmmm yah we'll book the hotel rooms VERY soon. More details (price etc) coming next week hmm...

3. Chalet anyone? But it has to be in early january unless you wan to have an all girls' chalet + yk + sam + apri. Hmmm so far available dates are 7 - 9 Jan [Sun - Tues] or 8 - 10 [Mon - Wed] for a 3D2N @ Aloha Loyang... it's quite cheap going at 35 per night(60 during sun night i think) but WE NEED A CIVIL SERVANT to book for us! (So it might cost near or less than 20 bucks in the end?) So get a guarantor and respond quickly before the dates are taken up again...

4. Ying2 suggests we have a class outing on the 29th when the aeppers are done with their A lvls... response? [Maybe a class outing to buy prom attire lol]

5. Have fun buying prom attires. Suggest places where you can buy them too [though I don't think it will benefit me that much]

Hmm okay good luck to the remaining ones slogging their guts out. Why not the ones who attained freedom go organise/create anything/something? =)

Ghost Story #1 (WOOooooooo....*scary sound*)

---
When I was young, I lived in a deserted kampong deep in the jungle. Every night, my mother would ask me not to go home too late as there won't be any transportation after a certain time.

One night, before going home, I ta pao a kueh teow soup for supper. I was late and I waited for the taxi/bus but there was none. I was getting worried as the night was getting darker and darker. So I tried to flag down private vehicles to take me home. There was no one stopping for me, till one motorcyclist took compensation on me and stopped to give me a lift. He was a man with a kind face. I accepted his offer and got onto his motorbike. On the way home, we would pass by a temple. At night, the temple would look eerily spooky with the dim lights from the candles.

At first, the motorcyclist was warm and friendly. When the temple was approaching, the motorcyclist eyes grown bigger and bigger. His kind face turned to a face of anger. He was muttering something loud but was not audible to me. I was so scared that I closed my eyes in order not to see his angry face. Then, the motorcylist stopped in front of the temple and then yelled at me.












"Your kueh teow soup is so hot!! It is burning my thigh! Can you please move it away???"










Ghost Story #2b

When I was young, I have two friends who were very close to each other. They played with each other everyday. It was like, if you see A, you would see B next to him. They were always together. A loved fried eggs. Whenever he went out for lunch or dinner, without fail, he would ask for fried egg on top of his noodles, fried rice, etc.

One day, A involved in an accident and died. B was devastated. B went to the cemetery to pray everyday. He would go to the nearest restaurant and ta pao a box of fried rice with an egg on top to be offered to A when he went to pray to him. The next day, he opened the box and there was no egg inside! B was petrified. He thought, must be A who came and took the fried egg away. The same thing happened the next day and the day after that. B was confused. So, one day, he asked the chef to make the
same fried rice with a fried egg again. Then, he went to the cemetery to offer it to A. Curious, he opened the box to check for the egg. He was angry to find that, there was no fried egg in the box after all.

Feeling that he had been cheated, he went back to the restaurant and demanded to see the Chef. "Where is the fried egg?? I told you there must be a fried egg inside!! You have cheated me for a few days now! Gimme back my money!!" Then, the Chef got really angry and opened the box - the fried egg was inside the box.




















The Chef said, "Stupid! You open the box upside down. No wonder you cannot see the egg!!"















Ghost Story #3

When I was young, I went to town to work with a group of friends during our summer holidays of two months. Being young and away from home for the first time, we drank and smoke like nobody's business. One night, we were pissed drunk and flagged the last bus down to go home. Being tired, we slept in the bus. It had been awhile that I fell asleep. I was awake by the chilly wind. I was shocked to find that there was no one in the bus, and I was the last passenger. I looked in front to check out for the driver. But the driver was no where in sight. Yet, the bus was moving. I panicked shitless. I rubbed my eyes to make sure that I was not dreaming. The night was dark and cold. I hysterically jumped out from the bus and tried to run as hard as I could to get away. Then I heard someone yelled at me from behind the bus.

























"Hey! Don't run away! Come over here and help to push the bus!" yelled the bus driver. I saw my other friends helping to push the bus, which broke down while I was asleep.

music people!

Well, we're all in the middle of our papers, so I hope everyone's still coping well with all the stress. Think positive, it'll be absolute freedom very soon. But for the guys who are going to be enlisted for NS, sorry ah. =P Especially Alvin, who has boldly declared on his MSN nickname that he's gonna join the commando programme on 12 Jan. Hehe. Anyway, I'm thinking of sharing some of my favourite songs here. The songs may not be to your liking since I don't know if anyone here would share the same taste in music as me. I'm actually into oldies and classics. Yup. So, hope you like those songs! Music's a nice form of escapism after all.



This is "Eternal Flame" by Human Nature, an Australian boyband. They did their own rendition of this song in 1999. The original singer is Susan Hoffman, I think, with her 80's band The Bangles. But I prefer this version somehow. Susan's Hoffman's voice is a little shrill, though tender. And guys singing in formal suits is another factor of appeal. =P



"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" by George Michael and Elton John. It's my favourite song, by the way.



"Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel. Art Garfunkel's the taller one with curly blond hair and Paul Simon's the shorter one. This song is actually a hit song written and performed by both of them in 1971. Another of my favourite songs! Yay! And in this video, they're singing it again in their "Old friends: live on stage" tour in 2003. So they're both ah-peks now! But they still sound good! Especially when both of them harmonise their voices together. Perfect!

Okay, that's all! Best of luck for the rest of your papers!
