To be or not to be

that is the question.

Really?

It's so weird. I thought this blog was like, dead or something. Until i saw Amos' post at the beginning of this month (well, last month la. I'm still living in the past, hello.).

I wonder if anyone still reads this. I wonder if anyone still remembers us? Not remember remember ah. Like, I guess it's normal for us to move on and everything (oh god, am i sounding emo? I hope not. But no one is here to read anyway.

In the event that anyone does, however, good ah!

Dearest people of Mee Pok.

Our lives have changed in various ways. That is a DUH. And some of us are happier, some of us have gone into hiding, some of us, well. Most of us have become so busy. But whatever it is. I hope you are all living the lives you want to lead. And all the best for whatever.

Ok, i really don't know what the point of that was.

But i wish all the best for the Meepokkers. :)

Adieu. (this is not a suicide note la. alamak. drama seh.)

HELLO HELLO OH! (think U2)

hi!

it's been about a year since our FOC, since we've met each other in a 5day camp full of twists, turns and surprises.
haha in a sense through this year's FOC we've kinda passed on a baton. thanks go out to all the seniors!

the random spontaneous (but nonetheless uber fun) cheer-off between FOC 2007 Mee Pok and Mee Tai Mak was a blast :D (thank you MTM-ers for the suggestion!)
our famous (or infamous depending which side you're on hehe) xi-shua-shua cheer made a comeback ^-^

one year on, CS being small in terms of faculty size, everyone kinda knows everyone else. and i guess no matter what lines were drawn during FOC, CS i would say is rather cosy cause contained in our little space tucked away in a corner of NTU, there is some form of solidarity in our 'exile' and our unique entity. through FOC 2008, random moments around the CS benches, classes, filming, studying etc, im tremendously happy to have been able to get to know the rest of the cohort better :D

Mee Pok was my first point of contact with CS life, where the first brilliant memories of the place came from, the camp, the hanging out in between classes, the funny moments during lunches and dinners, the tak glam pics that somehow always appear on facebook, the jokes, the laughs etc

im really glad that we've made it thus far! (relatively unscathed hehe)
1st year down hehe 3 more years to go ^-^
and i feel exceptionally blessed to have known this awesome group of people.

haha to end off this post

WHO ARE WHO ARE WHO ARE WE!?
WE ARE WE ARE WEE KIM WEE!
WHO ARE WE!
WEE KIM WEE!
WHEEEEE!!!

Hey. I'm going to share a really good joke. You wanna hear? You mean you really wanna hear? Are you sure? Ok. Here goes.

I was on a train to Expo with a friend, and we were both standing up as the seats were all full, and he was telling some really funny jokes. And he's like, really funny. Like Russell Peters. And you know what I told him?

"Hey, you're doing stand-up comedy!"

Hahahahahaha. Isn't that like, so funny? Hahahahahaha. Oh well. Good night.

No one makes me want to post here more than Sarah

2008-01-12T01:10:00.000+08:00

I would like to declare my undying love for Sarah's glam and unglame picspam, because the unglam pictures seriously had me laughing out loud at my computer screen at 1.10 A.M. when I should be asleep (...) Amos and Ruiqi LOLOLOL, and the Kyle & Chang picture is unintentionally adorable (!?). Sarah your level of awesomeness will always be my number one, The Ba Chor Mee Store lives because of you.

2007 was a goodyear (nothing to do with tyres)

2008-01-08T15:36:00.000+08:00

Recently, a friend of mine (and ours.. Ok la! It's Weili) said that this blog is "dying" and is "limping along" because no one has been posting anything much really. And i was thinking long and hard (for about ten seconds while i was shampooing my hair in the toilet just now.. I mean, where else do you shampoo your hair? Ok la, i know but i can't afford to go to a SALON to shampoo my hair so. Yeah. Ok where was i? Oh yes.

I have decided to create a little photo show (some Glam, some unglam.. But mostly the latter. Because this is a kind of NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photo collection) from my photo collection (without permission of SOME of the people in the photos.. Sorry ah.). If you are offended i will take them down.

Note though, that i couldn't include all the pics cuz there are just too many! If you want to see all the photos, you'd have to sit beside me in lecture and i'd go through the photos one by one.

Let's start with the glam:

GLAM

Night at *scape

Amos' place. (Although Amos looks like Wu Bai, this is still considered a "Glam" photo.)

My house at Raya

Shades Day
Pamy's Place
From the Dinner and Dance
Oh my goodness! How did THIS get here? HAHAHA. I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA this photo of dear little me would show up....

Ok this is it for now.

Not-as-Glam

(i say "Not-as-Glam" because they are not "Unglam". It is just that the moment was wrong. Or something. Hey, we can't be celebrities all the time, okay.)

Note: Terence doesn't ALWAYS sit like this in real life.

I have no idea why i take such not-so-glam photos of Amos. :(

This one is for Joyce.

Ruiqi and... A biscuit?

Liyana is such a sport. :)

Awwwww. CHANG.... (Note: this photo is damn old.. look at Kyle's camera!

Kyle gets caught checking out Chang's ah-hem. Equipment.

This is Adeline's idea of a beautiful hairstyle. Seriously. She did it.

I'll end today's post with Adeline. Those of you who didn't turn up today.... Your time will come! Mwahahaa.

So that's it.. For now.

Weili, since you said this place is dying, i will include a small photo of you.:

Lotsa love ya'll.

2008-01-06T23:32:00.000+08:00

YO!!!!!!!!!!

haha hi everyone!

school starts tomorrow!

hehe whether you're hating it, loving it, ambivalent or bawling your eyes out at the thought of it (though i sincerely hope no one falls into the last category) it's true.

so stiff upper lip now! and lets welcome the new school term with a smile :D
(hehe since regardless of our disposition towards it, we HAVE to go for classes UNLESS of course you choose to be in denial, but if you do not wish to smile i guess that's okay too ^-^)

cya all in about 9hrs :)

HELLO AHH

2007-12-31T01:49:00.000+08:00

HELLO

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

IT WILL BE GOOD FOR ALL OF US!

shit. did i just jinx it by saying that?? Oh man. OK.

AND WHY THE F*** DID THEY TAKE OUR FACES OFF THE MIND CAFE SITE?? (Or did i go to the wrong site?)

LOVE ya'll.

2007-12-28T15:49:00.000+08:00

haha hi everyone!
hope that you enjoyed Christmas!
hehe anyways, in an attempt to be domesticated adeline and i are going to bake this Sunday 30/12 probably sometime in the afternoon SO if you don't mind being our taste testers or just being amused at our amateur attempts just come on over la hehe,just drop me a line :)
or even better, COME BAKE TOO ^-^

2007-12-11T11:50:00.000+08:00

i had the strangest dream last night (well actually this morning cuz i slept past 12, but anyway)
it involved school
i dreamt that NTU had remodelled itself to be like a little shopping village and there were so many shops it was scary (in a good way of course ^-^)
so it was a monday i think.. n according to our timetable for next sem there's supposed to COM208 lecture on monday right? but somehow or another it got pushed to 10 something.. so strangely enough everyone stayed on in the LT but ruiqi,sarah and i went shopping. and we were like aiya 10+ still got time la.. so we walked around campus which looked super cool like a tourist destination.. and there were even trams like the kind you see in Europe on San Fransisco in place of the shuttle buses! haha yea so there was this tram with the alphabets AMO on top which i thought was funny and i decided to take a picture of it with my phone. BUT there was this lady at the bus stop who tried to move the tram! like literally she lifted the thing with 2 hands! haha ya and stupid me kept wanting to taking a nice shot but the tram was shaking in her hands so i had to keep taking over and over again.. then she took the train and ran! so i ran after her to get the photo and she ran with the tram to a wet market (still in NTU).. where i met my secondary school friend who was fund raising selling organic vegetables and the tram lady ran behind her so i kept taking pictures of my friend instead and she kept laughing at me and trying to sell me vegetables. eventually the tram carrying lady got tired and stood still for a couple of seconds where i managed to finally take the photo. This is where i caught up with sarah and ruiqi at a watch shop (they went ahead when i was caught up with the tram thing). i think it was 10am and lecture was supposed to start at 1030am so we're like "Aiya got time la" so we just hovered in the watch shop for absolutely the longest time and occasionally sat on the steps outside the shop to talk.. time passed by REALLY FAST and before we knew it, it was already 1141am!(haha as said by my watch, which i find weird cuz i don't wear watches hehe) and we decided "OH WELL." But you see, im inherently kiasu, so after lecture i asked people what lecture was about and they said "Nothing much, just that some people did they're presentations." I was like "Presentations? What Presentations?"
then i realised that i had missed an earlier lecture in which the lecturer had asked everyone to do an individual presentation friends assured me that they hadn't started either and to not worry.

AFTER THAT, i no longer dreamt in 1st person. I became this omniscient narrator, sometimes aligned to certain characters in the dream but I still had a bird's eye view of things. I was privy plots and schemes and saw how someone (don't know who she is though) tried to remain as inconspicuous as possible to avoid being recognised because she was going to stage her own disappearance and blame it on her peer. BUT it kinda failed cuz chee ko pek uncles tired talking to her and 2 good samaritans help fend off the dirty old men. What happens to her plot after that? hehe i dunno leh, i woke up ^-^

HAHA ALL THIS IN NTU.
hehe exciting aye...

Is it quiet in here or is it just me?

2007-12-08T22:06:00.000+08:00

Hello my lovely friends. I hope you all are enjoying your holidays.

I think I have contacted some of you on the movie marathon that is forthcoming on the 26th. We need movies to watch so if you have any requests please kindly plonk them here and we will try and get them. Some other plans are underway... Let me work out the kinks.

Currently, I am in Taipei. For an extended sort of stay of sorts. Be here till the 20th.

So... till then. Haha. See you all soon.

For Amos

2007-11-30T14:52:00.000+08:00

Ok, before i start, i just wanna say a few things (means i have actually started right? sheesh.)

1) I want to give Amos -3 points for the house party joke:

Me (to jinhe): So are you going to Pamy's house party?
Jinhe: House party? What is that?
Amos: It's where the houses come to party.

2) I should get two points for my "nuts" joke (according to Pamy.. Ask her la! ASK HER LA!)

3) Those who owe Weili money please pay back (although i think i am one of them)

4) It's the holidays!!! Lets go out! Really.

Ok time to start my post proper...

For Amos (a short long letter-type-prose-thingy)
[from the perspective of a wife-y figure] *FICTION

Dear Amos,

Hello? Can you hear me hear me? Am i getting through to you? Is it late there? There's a laughter down the line are you sure you're there alone? Hellooo? How's the weather? Is it rainy where you are? WHy don't you go outside and Kiss the rain.. whenever you miss me..**

**Ok i admit. I totally ripped the lyrics for "Kiss the rain" by Billie Meyers. Sorry ah i kinda got carried away. ok let me start it proper.

How is Taipei? How is everything there? We are fine back here at home. The kids really enjoy the PS2 and they want me to tell you that they are glad you have gone. I keep telling them to put the controllers aside when they are done but they never listen, you know. I guess i have never really been the firm one. But you already know that.

It's been two days since you have been gone (or was it three? or was it one?) and we are feeling warmer everyday. I hope they are feeding you well.. And not just the bubble tea and all that junk.. Amos, you do have to take care of yourself when i am not there.

I can't always be there for you.

I'm sorry. But i think i've had enough. All your trips to "taiwan".. It's really wrecking my mind. I just can't do it alone anymore. All those nights i am alone and crying for you and the kids need to be taken care of, and they ask for you and I just can't lie anymore.

And i don't think i will be here when you return.

I left the papers for you in the hall. Just sign them, okay?

You can see the kids on weekends.

Love, Francesca^

*******************************************************************
^I used Franceseca cuz i couldnt think of another name. haha. ok. Hope taiwan is treating you good.

To all whom it may concern

2007-11-28T23:35:00.000+08:00

I'm sure everyone has enjoyed Pamy's and Joyce's birthday celebrations. However, enjoyment aside, I have to demand some money back. Everyone please help this nice but stupid guy who has paid a lot of money to eat two slices of cake.

So here's a list of who owes me money. I will collect the money when I see you, which could be anywhere from somewhere in the next week to when semester starts next year.

Chang, Terence, Adeline, Qinxin, Joyce, Liyana, Ruiqi, Jinhe, Kyle, and Pamy (for the starbucks coffee)

As you can that is a lot of moolah. Please pay me as soon as possible.

Dear Friends of Ba Chor Mee

2007-11-25T03:46:00.000+08:00

I am going to Taiwan for a grand total of 3 weeks. And during this three weeks, I have decided out of the good will of my heart (thats a lie) to extend orders for whatever you all might be looking for in Taiwan.

Here are some rules:

1. If you know where to get the thing, a street name will do nicely. Or else, a picture.
2. If you do not know where to get the thing, I will TRY to find it. But no promises. I will if possible, take a picture of the item and show it to you. Francesa is following me to Taiwan too.
3. Subject to luggage space.

So those that want stuff, please blog here what you want. Or Shout it in the cbox. Preferably blog it, so i can see and take note.

End of Public Service Announcement.

Anybody here?

2007-11-24T11:05:00.000+08:00

☆皆様、おはいよございます！私は午前１０時５５分まで日本語を勉強しました。今ミポクのボログを書きます。私のテスト１１月２６日に終わります。それから、休みは始まります。休みにカラオケで行きます、映画を見ます。本当に幸せね。じゃ、ね！☆

Good morning, guys! I studied Japanese until 10:55 A.M. Now I am writing a blog [post] for Mee Pok. My test ends on November 26th. After that, my holiday starts. I am going to the karaoke and watch movies during the holiday. I am really delighted! See you then!

Lulz. Just an incoherent string of odd looking scribbles joined together :x Night Safari was awesome because of hilarious people minusing points off each other ♥

Two minutes

2007-11-20T13:20:00.000+08:00

ok two minutes for this.

I want to give Amos -3 points. Because of his joke.
I dont remember exactly what we were talking about.. About some guy i think..
Then He asked "Dj?" and i said "no" and then he went like, "Jd?"

SO NOT FUNNY. I swear. Wah.

Ok. NOTE:

Whatever Weili says about my "goodnight"s are NOT JOKES. They are just freaking typos damnit. HAHAHA. I mean, who doesn't make typos right? Right?? RIght??!! HEllo? Uhm. Yeah.

And uhm. Yeah. That's it for now... WAHAAHAHA. Ok bye. (2 mins up)

Joke System Up

2007-11-16T00:17:00.000+08:00

After giving each other points and never recording, we have finally decided to credit the people for their efforts at lameness.

Its quite self explanatory. If I missed our any frequent readers of the blog, tell me and their names will be added.

Half Down yea yea yea.

Side Note: Night Safari 23 November Night Outing. (duh) Most of us would have finished exams, I have Jap but I need a night out too!

2007-11-09T22:46:00.000+08:00

"i, bae faralza - lord ushtek's underling (kah kia), guardian of sorelia, grand emissary to the worlds." that was the only line that ran true midst the chaos in his head, spinning like a gasing on gangja. he felt it coming... yes, it was coming... oh yes! YES! ggrrrrrhhhh... soon this insolence will be over. IT was almost complete.

they saw him bend over. they watched as he started to tremble, his arms hung loose and his legs lost their stance. they muttered when he started giggling to himself (not unlike that of adolescent girls who just discovered the nascent growth of hair in boys' armpits). he looked up and they gasped, looked at them with bulging eyes rolled into whites.

"szzz... szzz... eyee ist... ist de guordian, szzz of so... sorella... en eyee shal... hath ma triumph! szzz..."

his head fell forward, too heavy. infernal sounds - deep groans from within, strange creaks, the slithering of his tongue in its futile attempt to keep his saliva in - these augmented by the steady, sordid spurts emitting from his already weary behind. a one-man band, a stumbling metronome, an organic percussionist, keeping time... tap... tap... tap... BAE BEATS. but it is ok, IT is almost COMPLETE.

they looked on with a mixture of fear and distaste at the transforming figure. they too felt it coming...

Story part 10

2007-11-09T19:47:00.000+08:00

And then... to everyone's surprise, Rachel started laughing. Nevermind that Bae just said that the situation was no laughing matter, or that it wasn't funny now that everyone was staring at her. She was used to it anyway, being prone to the occasional bimbo moment. Guardian of Sorelia? Faralza? Wasn't he Korean? Bae Faralza. What a name. Shudder.

Seeing her laugh, the whole cabin started laughing again at Bae Faralza, the Guardian of Sorelia. Geez. What a longwinded name and title. Chipmunk farted again. The cockpit door burst open and the exasperated pilot ran out. He was wearing a baseball cap, turned down to cover his eyes.

"Who's the one farting and polluting the internal air-conditioning system??? I can't breathe in this tiny cockpit!"

Rachel felt her blood run cold. If the pilot was in the cabin, who was steering the plane? And wasn't he in the cabin just now? He'd picked up her purse! Suddenly, the reason for his long disappearance became clear. He should have just continued being an invisible character. At least there would be someone steering the plane.

Everything was getting out of hand. Too many weirdos, too many unresolved plots. This whole situation was going nowhere. She wondered if the fact that she was in an airplane had something to do with so many random characters suddenly appearing. Maybe an airplane just had too many passengers, allowing for new cameos. Maybe she was thinking too much. Just maybe...

Story Part 9

2007-11-09T15:55:00.000+08:00

And then with a thick pseudo-British accent Bae regained his consciousness and bellowed "Halt! Cease this foolishness at once. Impudent humans! Do you not recognise greatness when it is presented to you?"

For about two seconds everybody stared blankly at Bae, jaws dropped. Then they broke out into uncontrollable fits of laughter.

"This is no laughing matter! I am Faralza, Guardian of Sorelia and I am here to warn you that a powerful warlock from my dimension has escaped. It is my duty to capture him and prevent him from wreaking havoc. However, in our last encounter, he gravely injured me and I am unable to proceed with my duties. No one other than the Guardian is allowed to cross dimensions, so none of my people can assist me. There is however a prophecy in my dimension, that the universe will one day be saved by a human, I believe that day has come. And that person is You."

The entire cabin turned to stare at Rachel, whom 'Bae' was pointing at.

Story part 8

2007-11-04T11:51:00.000+08:00

Suddenly, Bae dropped his fork. His face screwed and twisted into a strange manner, and began gagging. Rachael stared in horror, as he started convulsing uncontrollably.

Then, she, too felt it. A smell so thick, so strong permeated the air. It hung over them like a cloud. A thick, smelly cloud. She winced and desperately covered her nose with her hands, for fear of suffering the same fate as Bae.

"Well! Pee-yoooo! Excuuuuusssssseee me!" chirped Chipmunk, her face a flushed crimson.

Everyone around did not know how to react. They just revelled in the fact that for now, they were safe (albeit choking). Saved by this uncanny hero.

But questions still remained unanswered. Who was this man? Why did he do that?

To prevent any further mishaps, Rachael decided to not take any risks, and used her remote control to whack him on the head. Really hard. Chipmunk saw what was going on, and she, too removed her shoe and started hitting him repeatedly, much to the amusement of the passengers.

And Then....

Story part 7

2007-11-03T15:23:00.000+08:00

By the way, Terence posted the 100th post on Ba Chor Mee! Woooooooo... We are 100 Posts! :)
--
아무도는 이동하지 않는다! 또는 숙녀는 낙상된다!

Rachel was rudely jolted out her dreaminess by a language she understood, if only barely, thanks to Korean Level 1 classes she took at her college. A smiley Korean man with glasses and nice hair had grabbed her and stuck a fork towards her neck.

Everyone sat stunned for a while, but no one dared to move anyhow.

"I plane go to Korea" - Thats what she thought she heard from Bae (The name that Rachel gave her captor subconsciously) with her minimal knowledge of the language. The stewards were trying to dissuade Bae to do anything foolish. Rachel started to scream hysterically and tear but the Bae paid little heed. Apparently, no one on the plane understood Korean except for her so no one knew how to respond. Chipmunk tried to converse in Japanese with Bae, only infuriating Bae.

What am I going to do? Did I buy insurance? I wonder how Aunt May is doing? All these thoughts flooded her head as the Korean Man threatened to add 4 holes to her neck. Suddenly...

Story part 6

2007-11-03T10:42:00.000+08:00

Perhaps it was an urge to get out of the monotony of life, perhaps it was her penchant for adventure; a desire to experience a sense of wonder and amazement all over again. It wasn't as if she wasn't living it up at home, but she felt it was the same all, same all.

She recalled the apartment in the house, and irked at her own sentimentality. She recalled the floors that were as dusty as ever. She recalled her clothes that layed all over the floor and draped on her bed - like drunk revelers after a party. That was her life after all - a series of parties, one after the next. She would down loads of beer, yet it did nothing to fill the emptiness that grips her even right now.

She cast these thoughts aside. She looked out the window. Clear blue skies spotted with specks of white. A sense of serenity washed over her. What a contrast from her heavy metal junk at home.

Story 1-5 Summary: For easy reading

2007-11-02T23:10:00.000+08:00

She looked out of the tiny window next to her seat in the plane. The aisles were crowded and she didn't want to fight her way through the mass of people, positioned in every possible square inch of space in the cabin. She peered out once more, tucking her ebony coloured hair behind her ears. Everything looked the same, yet everything looked different. It was as if the air had been distilled. As she swung her knapsack across her shoulder, the only thing on her mind was relief.

Her relief though, quickly changed to apprehension as she spied, for the first time since she had got on the plane, a stranger observing her. He was wearing a baseball cap tilted down so that it cast a shade over his eyes, but somehow she could feel his eyes on her. She wasn't sure if he was simply checking her out, but she quickly discounted the thought as it became obvious that he was interested in more than just that. He didn't seem at all concerned that she knew he was watching her. She turned around and started walking away, and promptly stumbled and fell. She always had a problem with coordination, but this was probably one time she wished she didn't.

“Need help?”

This voice. It sank into her consciousness like an anchor in the ocean. She stopped in mid-action for a second, allowing the voice, this distinct inflection of tone, this strangely familiar hint of accent to settle inside her, before frantically scrambling to her feet and dusting off her pants. The man picked up her purse on the ground and handed it to her and she just looked at him. He looked back.

“Rachel?”

He knew her name (like the way he memorized the upward curl of her eyelashes or the softness of her hands). She had no idea how, or why.

And because it was probably the most natural reaction, she blinked, confused, and said, “Who are you?”

But before she could reply, a helium-filled, overly-enthusiastic voice interrupted.

"Excuse me!!!"

Rachel turned around, only to come face to face with three inches thick of make-up, namely blue eyeshadow and foundation. Lots of it. Chipmunk-lady/ stewardess pointed at the seatbelt sign, wagged her finger and did a clicking noise with her tongue.

She turned back, but he was gone. Damn the chipmunk woman, she thought.

Who was he? She (Rachel, not the woman) just could not recall where she had seen those eyes (there was once. But those were some actor who was selling the Acuvue Define contact lenses. Definitely not the same guy.)

Who was he? Where was he now? She needed to know. But Chipmunk lady wasn't going to make it easy. She could sense it.

The soft rumble of the fuselage belied the heavy thudding of her heart. Surely the man, and his mysterious appearance and disappearance held some significance for her. Rachel picked at the lint of the aircraft blanket as she retraced her experiences of the past five days. Slowly, she began picking apart the pieces in her head: her whirlwind, shot-of-blood-to-the-head trip.

Rachel recalled her urge to grab her passport and some clothes. She compiled with the urge with a mechanical precision that continues to unsettle her as she sits in the cabin, picking at her blanket. She did not even pack the toiletries – something that made her resent her own impulsiveness. Hours later, she found herself on a plane.

The plane was bound for Singapore. She wondered why she picked that destination; she has never been there before.

2007-11-01T23:26:00.000+08:00

hi everyone! this is our attempt to be literary and intellectual! haha k it's a complete the story kinda thingy where we each try to continue the story written by the person before us. each story post thingy should be about 50-100 words long but if you wanna write anything longer or shorter also can la hehe we won't (for the lack of a better phrase) 'cramp your style'. you can can choose to write in your personal fashion or try emulate the person before you or any other author, basically anyway you want. haha oh ya just bold the story section so we can differentiate fact from fiction, label the post Story and write the word story and the part number somewhere in the title. you can give comments or write about other stuff other than the story in the same post just don't bold those parts la hehe. oh n sometimes coincidentally you may intend to post the continuation to the story while someone else is in the process of posting it so do check the dashboard to see if someone is in the midst of typing something! haha with that i leave you with the first part of THE STORY! ^-^

Heyy all.

Take a break!

this is kinda random (as i am). But i have fifteen minutes to do this, and so here i am. (Why do i always do these things when i skip lectures?)

This is about things people we know have said. Well, basically, it is only a few things (like, two or three or four.. But you will know when u count it) that i can remember..

Terence once said that he should bring a notebook around and write down all these strange things that we say (the aspiring young journo he is.. haha.) becaus it is so interesting.. Ok! Without further ado (what is "ado"?)

See if you can guess who said those lines (and if you cannot, you are a LOOOOZER! No la, i'm kidding. We are all winners!) The answers are below. AIYA. You will see it! Start already!

#1
XXX:

Hey, isn't that the canteen that is over there?

Me: Where else would it be?
Everyone else: Uh, yeah.

Ans: Joyce

**************************************************************
#2
The lecturer: ..... Blah blah...MOONLIGHTING....
XXX: *giggle giggle*
Me: Uhm.
XXX: Wa lau. Why they want to moonlight!!!
Me: To earn money ah..
XXX: But there are other ways what..
Me: Well..
XXX: No need to do these kind of things what..
Me: You do know what it means right??
XXX: I think so...
Me: Well.. I think you are thinking of prostitution is it??!!
XXX: YAAAAA...
Me: Well, it's not.. Haha.
XXX: IS IT! OHHHH. HAHA. I thought moonlighting is prostitution!!!
Me: Well, even a monk can moonlight.

Ans: Adeline. (too easy)
*************************************************************
The next one is pretty easy as well, if you read my blog. This one is an old one.

#3

"I am uncounsciously aware."

Ans: Chang

*******************************************
Well, the next one isn't exactly a quote or sth, but it just happened last night, and was incredibly memorable (for me la). And you might never guess who actually said these lines!

*****************************************************************
#4
XXX: (looks over at Amos' plate of chicken chop) Eh, how come you have beans and i don't have?
Qinxin: (uses knife to lift XXX's bread) It's under your bread.
XXX: Oh.

(after about five minutes)

XXX: (look's at Amos' plate again) HEY! How come you have cheese on your potato? Where is my cheese?
Qinxin: (deadpan) It is not cheese. It is butter. And it has melted.
XXX: Oh.

Ans: WEILI
*********************************************************
Oh and i thought of one more. But this one is pretty obvious:

#5 (Bonus)
XXX: Wahahas!

Ans: Ruiqi (yes, i know i know. I tried to make it as hard as possible ok.)
***************************************************************
Ok, so that is it! Haha. Hope you guys aren't offended. If you are, please speak to my lawyers. :)

Of course, i would have put something i have said, but why would i wanna do that?? Mwahaha. Alright. i have taken too long. Seeya'll around.

^-^

Mind me! Mind me!

2007-10-22T17:45:00.000+08:00

Heyy. You know what. I don't have some weird skin disease like Jinhe, or am worried about exams (A MONTH?? And nobody said anything?? They did? Oh. Well. Too bad. I wasn't listening. Too bad for me la. Augh. Let me continue please!) or have this crush on sissy japanese boys (Ok, i take that back.. Otherwise fans of Hana yoko koyok or whatever that show is will probably attack me.. Plus i don't think it's fair to say that because i know noting about the show. So. OK.).. Where was I?

Ah, yes!

Today is Pamy's birthday! HAPPY Birthday Pamy!

Sorry i can't be there to celebrate your birthday with the rest of the guys. :(

(DAMN THE ARCHITECTURE PROJECT!) So here i am, declaring my uhm, well wishes and uhm. l-l-l-l-love for you.

Ok that was it. Now. Back to more important things (myself).

This morning, at about 9am as i was wearing my class 95 fm t-shirt, i fell asleep on the sofa (after i wore the shirt, not as i was wearing it. I wore the shirt, then i fell asleep.) because i was so tired from last night's hard work. Yes, i know i was supposed to be at lecture. Yes. But i was tired. Plus, my father said he would send me later so i went back to sleep.

Ok. None of that was important, really. But what i'm about to say is (kinda)..

So, i was in the car, and listening to Class 95 fm when WAHEY*. Vern (Vernetta) said something about three (i think it was three) Nanyang Technological University.. And one of the names mentioned was Low Ting Yi (i think it was low.. sorry if i got it wrong.)!!!! Apparently, they beat like, hundreds of other entries in this video competition.. And they won like $1000!!! AND their movie will be coming out at GV (that's Golden Village, you kukuheads) in December.. It's something about Singapore..

*WAHEY (waaAA- haAAy) is an expression of surprise and shock, like, WAH! HEY! E.g. "WAHEY! You got a new haircut! Not bad.. you look like a skinhead!" or "WAHEY! I didn't know you could remove your fingers like that!"

So cool la.

So yeah.

And thank you all who came over to my place for Raya. :D

Pamy, this is especially for you because you were so sporting, and taught my friend to dance! HAHA.

And for those of you who met someone new, hooray. It's alwas nice to make new friends. Hope you guys keep in touch and stuff. EVEN if the guy whom you thought was cute turns out to be GAY. It is ok. Someday. Someday. Maybe. :)

See? i ended on a positive note. it is always positive to end with a ":)". So i can say something really mean, and put a ":)" and still you will think i was nice. E.g. "You asshole :)" Or " You are so stupid :) " or "you suck :)"

Ok sorry this post is so long. I haven't updated my own blog so this is the repressed part of me breaking out.

So long, losers! :)

(See, the ":)" again.)

Seriously. you guys rock. :) <- this one is sincere.

<3 (i will talk abt the "<3" next time.)

Don't mind me, I am just floating by

2007-10-20T17:08:00.000+08:00

I am not funny like Sarah, not amusing/entertaining/making sense like Weili, not full of jokes like Adeline, not organized like Amos... Posts from me are far and few between. Well, isn't that a relief?

Amos, thanks for reminding me about exams when I was happily binging on television programs, animanga and Hana Yori Dango (I blame Adeline/Liyana/Pamy's squealing in Canteen 1 :x).

I think I have gotten some weird skin disease living with the dust in my dorm. Steer clear of me on Monday unless you want rashes/itch on your arms D:

No love, Jinhe

Perhaps I should be studying

2007-10-17T14:56:00.000+08:00

Thanks Amos for reminding everyone that exams are in a month's time. But as a person who has lived his whole academic life on the last minute, I still can't help thinking that I still got one month. Can relax about 2 more weeks.

Please do not learn from the above example. Unless you are the same kind of person. Then you'll probably be slacking right now, like I'm doing posting on this blog when I have many "better" things to do. Like sleep. Or attain some semblance of a life. What did you think I was going to say mug? Don't mug and spoil market la.

Oh, I couldn't help but notice the love between sarah and adeline in the cbox. I was reading the past few entries and I realised that perhaps the amount of work we've been getting in NTU has resulted in love in all the wrong places. Professions of love in a cbox? Do it in 201 lecture la. Xiaoming can give you advice on how to maintain a relationship.

Perhaps some members of the opposite gender should take note of them. Just perhaps. Like how I should perhaps be studying and not posting this crap.

The "I Am Scared Suddenly" Post

2007-10-17T09:34:00.000+08:00

Ok hi hi, its been a long while since I posted.

Anyway, just a friendly reminder, the exams are due to be happening soon... Yes, in 1 months time. So just wanna tell of you to remember that for 203 we DO have a research project to do (as Qinxin kindly reminded me yesterday)...

Doesn't that suddenly feel scary.

I know it does for me. :o

I will try and put up a photoalbum link to here soon so please consolidate your photos and upload them (if you are free) to the album for mass consolidation.

Yeaaaa, I should write more, but Dracula is calling me.

Oh well..

Dedication to Ade!

2007-10-15T21:42:00.000+08:00

Girl!

Respect.

treat you to icecream/chocs/cakes/waffles!

we all <3 u muchly!

xoxo :)

HOORAY FOR ADELINE!

2007-10-15T18:02:00.000+08:00

Dear All.

I believe Adeline has done something incredibly brave and uhm. noble by running for the presi- i mean, chairmanship. It is not something easy to go through and for that very reason, she is now my idol.

Never mind that she looks like a kid. Never mind that she is Cr@deline or M@deline or whatever. Why should it matter that she is so adorable and smart.. She is MY IDOL!

(Right below Ellen Degeneres, Whitney Houston, Chua Enlai, Hossan Leong, Elton John, Harrison Ford, Richard Gere, Bon Jovi, George Michael, Tom Cruise, my Father and 89 others.)

Yes. Adeline is in my top 100 list!

And Adeline, you will always always ALWAYS be my one and only cutie pie*. Everybody now.

(Bon Jovi style) AND I... WILL LOVE YOUuuuuuu... BABEHHHHHH.... ALWAYSSSSSSSSS....

Mmmm. He's one of my idols too.

But seriously, Adeline, you have done a good job so. Hooray for you! We love youuuu (at least, i do.) ;)

Smile, my angel. :)

*Jinhe, if you are reading this, you are also cute, but you are more cute in a dangerous wushu master kind of way. :)

2007-10-08T17:43:00.000+08:00

hey hey.. feeling tired or stressed out from school work..??
fraid'not Cr@deline the master of crappiness is here.. haha

here's something:

How do you catch a squirrel?
Climb into a tree and act like a nut...

Why techno cats do like chicken sandwich?? (no offence to anyone.. ya.. really!)
becos they only eat tuna sandwich.. (tuna = fish)

haha ok .. as u can see.. i'm quite crappy..

ok and thats all for today from Ms Cr@deline the master of crappiness .. hee..

disclaimer: pardon the Crappiness.. Cr@deline is actually going nutty now from studying.. anyways..

silent at *scape

2007-10-06T22:17:00.000+08:00

meepok, 'shao mian' (less noodles) as usual, made an appearance at *scape youth park for the screening of a short film made by a few of our seniors. we ended up watching 2 films and a documentary of a film.

as expected, the standard of the productions was pretty high, considering that it was made by students.

i was surprised at the lack of year 1s at the event. honestly, it felt a year 2++ thing. so we sat in our corner, taking bites of our subways and glancing around.

weili, having orange julius at starbucks and really lovin' it.

Just a few words.

2007-10-04T23:40:00.000+08:00

I'm sure everyone knows by now that the FOC chair was won by a certain Cheryl Ong. Well congratulations to her. And anyway, I feel that its important that a few words are said now. Me being so serious, its ridiculous. Hey it rhymes!

Firstly, thanks to Adeline for putting in the effort to bravely run for FOC chair. Its certainly not easy, and she deserves a round of applause. To Adeline: Stop apologising to us for goodness sakes! Its not your fault.

Secondly, thanks to everyone who helped draft the proposal, for contributing your time and energy.

Thirdly, if you care enough about the FOC, do try for main comm or subcomm positions. I'm sure that the newly appointed FOC chair is capable in her own right, in being able to win the chairperson position, but she can't run FOC alone, and I think we have pple in this OG who can make a difference to next year's FOC.

Fourth - Do support other committees if you wish, like Paparazzi and DND. No need to hold out for FOC anymore. And the other committees need help too.

That's about it.

meepok at the mind cafe!

2007-09-25T19:21:00.000+08:00

to cut the long story short, we went to mind cafe (prinsep) yesterday for an afternoon of board games, which included cranium, munchkin (which was more of a card game) and simpsons cluedo in which homer killed mr. burns with a poisoned donut (what else?) in the simpson residence.

the food there was pretty decent, but the free flow of drinks was in my opinion just a marketing tactic since you won't drink more than 2 cups anyway. that along with the fact that there's only one toilet in the cafe. the queue outside the toilet got longer as the afternoon went on.

overall, it was a nice outing. wish more came though.

amos claims that he will dye his hair pink if we pay for it. so here's what he will look like with pink hair (not bad i'd say). he is getting pink hair. chrome shall be a thing of the past.

Random scary fact

2007-09-21T16:57:00.000+08:00

Has anyone noticed that when you click on that link Pamy posted and browse the site, you eventually reach a section that details ALL of our birthdays under Mee Pok Birthdays. Now, why would I want my birthday displayed on a site that I don't know who else visits. I always thought that our birthdays were something shared among our friends and family only.

And here's whats scarier. Under a small box labeled "News tags for fast search", you'll find quite a few of our OG mates names in there. I was probably left out because I used a nickname on bachormee, but I think some of you pple would be freaked that your names can actually be searched under "fast search" on a website you don't even know about.

The dangers of the Internet? Scary.

Random Fact

2007-09-20T23:28:00.000+08:00

haha k this is quite amusing
i goggled bachormee for fun and i got 3 search results
2 belonged to our humble lil blog
while the last 1 is this http://www.omniart-miami.com/pokmiami/
apparently this website has links to things related to POK haha and guess what?
bachormee is listed on it! haha c'est un website amusant! ( sorry ah trying to practice french.. hehe unlike some people im not a shwach.. haha dont murder me weili :P ) haha ya ok done with random fact of the day! ^-^

OH and do go for DND if y'all can! a bunch of us are going but the more the merrier!!! :)

This little ninja had insipiration.

2007-09-18T02:16:00.001+08:00

I blame it on the adrenaline after going for a midnight run. I saw a botak tree. And then I had inspiration. And i decided to give myself the night off.

Don't ask me why I am calling it Little Ninja Advertising.

Presenting: Little Ninja Advertising.: Vote for Integrity!

On a more serious note, I will post the details tomorrow. Once they are confirmed.

Its 230am. Yay for inspiration. I didn't study!

SHHHH. in the name of love.

2007-09-17T18:02:00.000+08:00

ok. i am trying to type as quietly as possible. but you wouldn't know. so i am going to describe it. i am like typing one word by one word (yes finger by finger) trying to be quiet because i am at the adm library and it is so quiet. see the last few lines just took up like, five minutes because i am trying to be quiet. the keyboard is suddenly so loud. i am not kidding.

Why? you ask (softly, because i am at the ADM library). why, Sarah, are you there, and more importantly, child, pray, tell me what it is you seek?

ok, so maybe you won't ask that. it's just that i have archi(-techure, as in architechure.. class) in half an hour and i am tired of Xiaoming's voice in ma head cuz i've been reading 201 a bit so here i am. Wooyeah. good use of time!

i have not signed up to run for FOC yet. so far i have not seen shannon. Adeline n i are on the lookout for him. i hope others will run with us---

EXCUuuuussse me. sorry. whew. lucky it was a silent one, and this place is pretty empty. plus, cold air sinks and i reckon whatever that's come out will probably sink in awhile. peeeeyou..

Neways, i will continue typing (as softly as i can, so not to disturb the couple on the other end of the computer table.. eh. They've gone.. Only the guy is left. He seems to be asleep. Hmm. or fainted. i can't tell. He's just exaggerating. It wasn't that bad! right, anyways.)

yes. where was i. ah yes. running for Pressie (-dent, as in Pressiedent.. ok. President. must you be so anal about it!). the plan is that Adeline will be President right and i, being the tyrant that i am, would then establish a position second in command (though not necessarily in any less power.. MWahah).
Assuming all goes well, then we can get you guys to be in the committee (hooray)..... and i will finally get to live my dictatorship (albeit slightly restricted) fantasies! BOW YOU LOT! BOW TO ME, AND KISS MY FEET. THE FEET OF DESTRUCTION*! Mwa MWa MWAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! i mean, MWAhahahahaahhahahaha (this is a library)

*Destruction because they have been in my shoes ALL and i mean, ALL day. but if anyone makes any cracks about it.. Watch out.

MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
(Or if you want to know how it sounds realistically Mwahahahahahahahahaahahahahahhahhhahhahahhahahaha)

sorry. Missed my tyranny management session this week.

What nepotism? No such thing. I (we) are as fair and unbiased as people get.

at this point i must say that i am getting a bit worried because the guy mentioned earlier has not moved. i think i'll go over and prod him with my cold, wrinkled hands. Wrinkled because the aircon has sucked all the moisture out of it.

And those of you who are fighting for the post of programmer, i'll bring out my "hungry hungry hippos". or we'll work something out**.

**I accept cash, cheques and NETS and gift vouchers/certs.

good luck the rest of you!

IMPORTANT! WKWSCI FOC 08

2007-09-14T14:24:00.000+08:00

The nomination forms for the presidency are coming out NEXT WEEK, so anybody who thinks he/she has what it takes please RUN!

The more people we have running, the more likely the president is a meepok-er, and the more likely we get to be involved in the upcoming orientation in the roles we want.

The president builds the subcomm. No PRESIDENT, no FOC. Game over. I'm sure nobody wants to see a repeat of the CI Club debacle, when we didn't realise what was happening until it was over.

I can't stress anymore how important this is.

This is long overdue.

Japanese Film Festival

2007-09-08T00:17:00.000+08:00

Hey! Haven't posted on this blog for quite some time, but I know there are a couple of Japanese enthusiasts in our OG, so I thought I'd ask if anyone wants to go for the Japanese Film Festival with me? Find out more on their website: www.sfs.org.sg/jff2007

I'm currently looking at the screenings on 16 and 17 Sep and possibly 23 Sep.

Anyone interested just drop me an SMS or something. :D

School, people and all that shit.

2007-09-07T00:03:00.000+08:00

Ok. This is a general title because i don't really know what i'm going to write about?

And i don't know why i asked that in a question?

I think maybe because i feel like i have to continue the conversation with myself?

I feel kinda stupid?

So i'm gonna stop?

Hello?

Saturdays

2007-09-01T10:00:00.000+08:00

It's a bright Saturday morning and I just wanna wish you guys an AWESOME day ahead! Let's have a good weekend!

I loooove Saturday mornings!

i don't know what title i should put. and i'm not trying to be funny putting a title like this.

2007-09-01T02:01:00.000+08:00

hello people!

this is a real post. do not doubt its authenticity.

anyway, i wanted to post something sometime back but didn't have the time. and still don't. but the only reason why you are seeing me here is cos i have decided to dedicate 10 mins (hopefully not more) of my time to write something for you guys. or maybe i'm just one of those blog voyeurs that amos calls.

since the brief encounter during FOC, i haven't really had much chance to interact with you youngsters, but you guys have left an impression on me. and through the reading of some of your blogs, i've come to see different sides of the meepokies that i met then.

and having read most of the blogs (only those that are linked, so those who have been trying to keep their blog a secret, do not panic), i must say i'm pretty impressed by the many different forms of writing that i see. and also the content. from the most pensive (i think the person wishes to remain anonymous, so i shan't name him/her here) to the most hilarious, to the most introspective, to just plain ramblings, to the intellectuals, all have been pretty much an eye-opener for me. at least a little more in the understanding of you guys as individuals. well, unless you are telling me that all that writing was done by someone else (your fake alter ego) or some extraterrestial being, i am inclined to think that there is a certain side of you that is expressed in that piece of writing.

and all of you are so different! like weirdly different. lol. no, i didn't mean to call you guys weird. ok, maybe i did. ah well. it's like during FOC, i thought you guys reminded me of my previous OG, where i was a real, uninducted freshie. but on second thoughts, you guys are so different. weirder i guess. lol. no lah. as in i think the group is evenly made up of individuals whose characters don't overshadow one another's. so i would say, cherish what you have now, cos it's really hard to come by a group like that.

ok, my point in saying all these... -nothing. ok, on to something lighter.

1.amos - !!!!!! pls say hi when you walk past me next time, cos i so won't be able to recognise you. ok maybe i can, like if i see something glowing under the sun.
2.meifang - no idea why you are leaving, maybe it's the greener pastures in UK, maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the once-in-a-lifetime chance of an overseas education (ok, invalid pt, cos can do graduate studies there also), or maybe you are just disgusted by the idea of "fake" freshie, so much so that you need to leave the country. ok, i think i gave myself too much credit over there. ok, i will try not to do it again. yeah, but if it's really cos of me, i promise i will not do it again. ok, jokes aside, all the best, have fun there, and if there's one thing to remember, just remember i WAS fake. not anymore. tsk. there i go again. bad tingyi.

on a more serious note, i think all of you guys are awesome individuals. so some of you should really be more confident of yourselves. just be yourselves. cliche. yea i know. but can you think of something better? let me try again. erm... just be who you are. yea that's good.

and if anyone needs help (or textbooks), can always try asking the seniors (the real ones of course, me included). although no guarantee that the needs will be met. but at least we'll try our best.

and weili, don't think i don't know what you said about me. to think i actually tried to find the textbook for you... sigh. ok not you. your friends. sigh... ok, don't take me seriously there. and yes, sarah and chang, i'm still in the midst of helping you guys look for BMW text. though i must admit i'm a little slack in my search sometimes. any seniors who happen to pass by and want to sell the BMW text, please contact me or them directly (second option is slightly cheaper cos no processing fee).

ok, i think i'm hingeing on the point of talking too much here. shall sign off for now. i need rest too. God bless.

till the next crap post,
Joshua.

And on a seperate note.

2007-09-01T00:23:00.000+08:00

I think it is safe to finally announce this here...

Meifang on Thursday announced at the picnic that she will be withdrawing from WKWSCI as she accepted a place in University College London for psychology.

This is just to inform those who are wondering why she has been truant these few days... hmmmm.

Anyway, I would like to wish her well and good luck for her future.

We will miss you!

P.S: Please Blog from London. Haha. And buy nice English merchandise to be shipped back.

Its been 2 months and still strong!

2007-09-01T00:21:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys, its been nearly 2 months since bachormee.blogspot.com has been up we are proud to say we are still running well!

I know there are a lot of blog voyeurs (couldn't think of a better term :P) here who read and don't write and we do sincerely encourage you to write!! If you have time that is.. :D And that is of course if you received the invite..and know what to do it with it. If not, you can contact troubleshooting at school (look for the dude with the white hair)

Hopefully, this will be a diary of sorts, that after 4 years, you can take away with you as you go out to work...

Events for the week

2007-08-27T21:13:00.000+08:00

A short post here. 2 events upcoming this week.

Captain's Ball tournament - Tuesday 28/8/2007 5-7pm

I understand that some, ok most people have 204 lecture until 6pm so we'll go after that if you're free. Sports attire preferred for players, but you are most welcome to turn up in whatever you please. We will be representing Meepok, unless anyone has violent dietary objections.

Picnic - Thursday 30/8/2007 6pm onwards ADM rooftop

The picnic has been confirmed. It will be on Thursday at the ADM rooftop, rats or no. Pple with HL809 please make it there after the lecture whatever time it ends. Hope the lecturer's efficient this week again. Those without HL809, do help in buying, providing the food.

Ocean's 13+

2007-08-26T23:00:00.000+08:00

Disclaimer: This has nothing to do with the focus group. But do sign up. I have signed up! Well. i was gonna call everyone losers cuz i thought i was the first to sign up but guess what.. Someone signed up first! And WHO might that be? Surprise surprise! PAMY. Augh. Girlfriend, pick on someone else!

Anyways, I caught a bit of Ocean's Twelve on channel 5 today, and i therefore propose we have our own version of Ocean's Twelve (or thirteen or whatever number i choose.)

The mission: To steal our quiz papers from Hao Xiaoming's office, so that we can change the scores and get full marks. (we can also steal his Chinese New Year Cards.. but that's just MEAN. Shame on you for even thinking of it!)

Note
I, of course, will be Ocean because i am the coolest. I have therefore assigned people their roles according to their talents (or lack of).. So if you are not included, don't be upset. I will definitely* include you in the next movie/ mission that i create (I.e. Ratatouille.. you all can be the Rats in the kitchen)... :)

*No guarantee.

The People (and their roles)

1) Me - I am Ocean (because i am cool and i think i look a bit like George Clooney). My job is to make sure the operation runs smoothly and that everyone does what they're supposed to do. And collect the Chinese New Year cards.

2) Amos - Extremely crucial role. By playing his trance music loudly, he will cause Xiaoming to have an immense headache, therefore making him go home early and therefore allowing us to carry out our mission.

3) Joyce - She will swear at anyone who comes near the team, thus letting the next few people get into the office easily and without much trouble.

4) Pamy - Her incredibly quick tongue will distract as well as confuse anyone who tries to jeopardise this operation.

5) Chang - Will enter the room first and take photos. This is so that we can return everything to the original positions (except the CNY cards) after we are done.

6) Adeline - Similar role as Pamy, to keep a lookout. Her cute, youthful looks will distract any other professor who has not been already chased away by Joyce/ confused by Pamy.

7) Jinhe - Using her Wushu skills, she will break down the door to Xiaoming's room. In the event of that failing, we will go with Plan B.

8) Cheng Wee - is Plan B. She will squeeze through the gap between door and the floor and open the door from inside so Chang can go in and do his job first.

9) Weili - He would have been the driver but he has no car, so his job is to find the papers and change the scores. Then quickly go online and hack into the database and, together with Amos, change our scores. (mine will be full marks, everybody else 17, cuz they cannot be better than Ocean.)

10) MeiFang - because she has the quickest fingers and like to point (according to me), she will quickly take the CNY cards down and put them all in a bag (environmetally friendly, of course)

11) Liyana - In charge of Escape transportation. We need a car but since no one owns one, she will kayak us all away. Either that, or carry us all on her back and run 24.179km (or however far she ran in that marathon) in the event of us being discovered.

12) Joshua/ TingYi - Becuase he is fake, we can put him in the hall to confuse people. Or, in the event of an emergency escape, we will leave him behind as a decoy.

13) Terence - His job is to pray for all of us and make sure that his prayers go through.

14) Kezia - Her mother can give us (our hair, actually) makeovers so no one will recognise us. Plus, most of us need haircuts anyway so why not for free eh. Since i AM Ocean and what i say goes.

Everyone else will go with Terence, who will lead you all in prayer. i don't care what religion you are, just go with him.

Ok. So those are the 13++ people (excluding myself and including everyone else). Note however, People i absolutely could NOT include i this list :

1) Ruiqi - Because she knows everyone, we absolutely cannot risk it. Plus it might take a longer time to even get near Xiaoming's room because she keeps meeting people on the way and everyone has to stop and wait for her.

2) Koony - Because his name is Zeizikasz Olivenoros, it will be so difficult to remember and give all of us a headache instead. (And i'm still sore abt Adeline choosing him over ME. I'm Ocean, you should love ME. haha. jk. )

3) Charmain - Too tall! Everyone will see us creeping around! Seriously!

So there you have it. Ocean's thirteen plus plus plus.

The following event was purely fictional. Hope i didn't offend anyone.. if i did, please please, let me know, and i will change it ok. LOSERS.

Haha. Seriously, if you cant take it let me know. thanks.

com 203 focus group

2007-08-26T14:56:00.000+08:00

hey guys i m thinkin of forming a focus group for our com 203 research assignment. this is to allow the sharing of workload as well as facilitate the sharing of ideas. interested parties pls email me at faultymailbox@hotmail.com. we will be doing things like watching 'an inconvenient truth' and making jokes about tree-huggers. i will ask again during the picnic this week, so pls consider. enjoy ur sunday... or wats left of it. see u guys tomm!

twinkle twinkle little star.

2007-08-25T23:36:00.000+08:00

Under the instigation of WeiLi who said to take a picture and post it ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This is amos lying on the open ground in front of the School of Biological Sciences.

Seriously it's a good place to lie down and watch the stars (assuming theres a clear sky.) But we thought he was joking when he said tt he's gonna lie on the ground at that very moment. I remember hearing Liy saying "OMG AMOS, OKAY BYEBYE!"

But it's seriously a good place to watch stars (:

P.S. Im currently drinking NEWater for the first time and it surprisingly tastes alright. LOL. Just to add, everyone should go catch Hairspray in the theatres. (:(:(:

Here's why...

Okay Im kidding. The soundtrack and dance moves are darn good.

check ur score for the com 201 test

2007-08-25T12:05:00.000+08:00

hey ppl, u can check ur score for the nasty surprise test on edventure. jus go to the com 201 page, click 'course tools' on the left sidebar and then 'my grades'. if u didnt do too well dun feel too bad becoz its not weighted. be ready for more surprise quizzes though. u dunno wat lies behind prof hao's glasses...

A little gentle reminder to the picnic pple

2007-08-24T23:47:00.000+08:00

Sorry to be the pragmatic and hardnosed foil to all the lovely picnic posts so far but has anyone realised that we haven't exactly agreed on which day we're going to hold it? Unless we actually get some things down, its going to be a beautiful rat-filled fantasy with FFs. Btw FF you're invited too if you want to come. Lol. Do let us know.

So I hope that if possible all of you will post on this blog in the cbox which days you would like the picnic, if you're going at all, and finally if you're bringing anything to eat. Halal food only please unless you are trying to be funny. In which case, well I think Sarah is funnier. Sorry.

This is very important as we are most likely holding the picnic next week and its not a lot of time. Either me or Amos will take note of all these details and further details on the picnic will be posted on the blog. This is Weili btw if you haven't realised. Yup.

In summary put in cbox
1) going - yes/no
2) which days you prefer - no weekends please.
3) what you will bring. must be halal, edible. this is not an either/or option.

Picnic schminic

2007-08-24T11:34:00.000+08:00

these first two paragraphs are directed directly at Pamy. (No, this is not a paragraph. this is a LINE, or two lines. Hey, why am i entertaining you anyway? this has nothing to do with you. ANYWAYs. Three lines...)

Pamy Pamy Pamy. (<-title, not paragraph)

first the kfc, now, our ROOFTOP?! I'm mean, come on, girlfriend. Haven't you rained on our parade enough? You just HAVE HAVE HAVE to spoil this for us eh. Wassup with you man!

Hehe. I'm just idding. Don't worry. i love rats too. i used to keep mice.. before my mum totally freaked out. but yeah. Buddy died at adulthood.. about 9 months.. Tucker lived till 1 and a half years! longer than expected life expectacncy for mice. Yeah. They're both female but when they were little, we (my sister and i) thought they were male. (Which is a blessing bacause i find those awful balls soooo gross)

For EVERYONE ELSE (except Pamy <3)

HEYY.. Maybe, the rats are like the rats in Ratatouille!!! Whoa. That'll be soooo cool. We can get like,disinfectant powder for them to clean their hands.. uh.. paws before they start preparing our meals for us! How cool is that?

Super cool, i tell you. Super cool! (I only say that in case you thought my "how cool is that" was rhetoric.)

Ok. ah-hem. So anyways, in all seriousness, i think we shuld just give the place a chance.. And why not have the picnic between the hours of 4 to 7 (P.M.). well. sorry i had to say that in a whisper.

This is because

1) To have it in broad daylight (i.e. 12 pm) is absolutely ridiculous. You be sitting on a ROOFTOP, for crying out loud! Can you imagine.... (if you can't, i put the scenario below)

Me: Pass the cheese please!
Pamy: oh ok. cup your hands first.
Me: Uhm.
Pamy: sorry, i can't even scoop it off the floor.. looks like you'll have to just dip your bread or whatever in it.
(Look suspiciously at the cheese on the mat which has turned into some kind of fondue. The cheese, not the mat.)
Me: Yeah, maybe i should do that. Pass me some bread please.
(Passes bread)
Me: Heyy.. Was this stuff toasted when we got here?!!

Meanwhile,
Jinhe: Can somebody cook more eggs please?
RuiQi: There is tot'ly not enough space on the grass here!
Adeline: Wa lau. So hot!
RuiQi: Yeah, it's totally hot!

(Mei Fang points finger in direction of Joshua's approach)
Everybody (not mentioned above): FAKE FAKE FAKE!

* I decided to incude everyone in this short imaginary scenario because we are an inclusive society. :) See. uhm. note though, that any resemblance to any incident is purely coincidental. or at least, i made it seem that way. Ha.

2) If we leave bfore dark, we will be able to avoid those couples who come for the night. Unless, of course, you like that kinda thing, in which case you will want to stay.

3) Anytime in the morning and people might have lessins i mean, lessons. Plus. I don't wanna get up so early. Haha. Sorry. That was a selfish thought. Cancel that.
P.s. i Have HYBRID concession, which makes me COOL. And i can travel everywhere! Woohooo. Just bragging. But seriously..

4) It's a nice time of the evening to watch the sunset! And take photos if you missed it the first time around. ;)

Lastly,

5) Alamak. Why do i have to give so many reasons. i absolutely refuse to give a final reason. (Also cuz i can't think of any)

Ok. Go ya. It'll be FUN. With an F! :))

P.s. Correct me if i'm wrong but everyone is invited right?

2007-08-24T00:39:00.000+08:00

haha picnic sounds good! choc muffins!

BUT here's something i feel obliged to tell everyone about. According to my good friend who's studying at SADM, there are rats living there. How do they know? Well couples who find the grass area a rather romantic place have reported having seen rats scurrying around at night. So it serves to reason that the rats are probably there in the day as well. Having said that, i have no qualms about rats :)
but i think if we go in daylight hours, it should be fine ^-^

choc muffins! i like......
:D

peaceful picnic with pleasant people (PP&PP)

2007-08-23T23:43:00.000+08:00

hey yer pokkers...

as sarah has so kindly mentioned, i am going to run for... no, i am going to organise a picnic on the scenic slopes of SADM (a.k.a saddam). due to the extremely inflammatory nature of this event, i propose that we keep it hush hush so that we won't get chased off the area before we get chased off the area. there is a flat spot right on top where we can lay the checkered mat and the picnic basket. to see a pic of the ground, click here. it has been given the green light by my shoe.

i need help in preparing the food list so please add to it. all food items must reek of quaintness as well as alliteration, and must be HALAL as well (make it KOSHER too). jus edit this post.

- apple ale
- bran bread
- sweetened-with-chocolate strawberries
- ham-store ham
- corn cob

Deeply upset

2007-08-23T18:36:00.000+08:00

Well, we ( Pamy, Weili, Chang, Kyle n me.. DUH) went over to hall 14's (is it hall 14?) canteen for luch today and guess what... They don't even have a single halal food stall! So i thought of looking for a vegetarian stall.. They don't have that either! This is discrimination! in the end i ate eggs (which i had to crack myself!!!) which were hardly cooked. it was probably quarter boiled.

What did i they think i was, some kind of body builder?! I have seen better (eggs, not body builders)!

But i heard the rest of the food is quite good, so do check it out. the western n jap looks good. :)

Man... i realize that we never know who comes to visit this blog. So, after personally apoplogising to Koony (in real life today) after slamming his "zeinikzxs oliverios" thingy (did i get that wrong again? Darnit. ) and seeing the Xiong guy who's actually the "francis Ng" lookalike who, in the posters, looks like he could smash me to a pulp with those boxing gloves, i have decided to be nice to anyone and everyone who contributes/ visits/ tags on this blog.

Even if you eat pork.

I'll be nice. I'll be good. I really, really, will. In fact, I PROMISE. Now that i'm on a roll, i'll even donate half of my monthy allowance to the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund. That's right.

One Ba Chor Mee Please

2007-08-23T01:54:00.001+08:00

Mmm... the mere mention of ba chor mee makes me want to salivate. Ever since I tried that savoury dish many score years ago, it has remained one of my favourite dishes ever. There are several that will forever burn in my mind..

The first one is the one opposite Sembawang Shopping Centre, which I ate 3 years ago, and for only once. I was with my friend, and for God knows what reason we were there.

The second one is the XO Ba Chor Mee at Newton Circus. Ate there often while going home from work in my temp job. Simply sumptuous. Oh, and the one at Yishun North Point is pretty good too.

Why such a random post you ask? Ohhh, and did I mention the best Ban Mian can be found right in Boon Lay? It's in this place called 'Best' Coffeeshop. And it's dried.

I'm actually quite hungry now. Going back to my microwave spaghetti with cheese sausage. Are you hungry?

a big fuss over bachormee

2007-08-22T19:46:00.001+08:00

I understand that some anonymous person has a rather adverse reaction to the name of the blog being called bachormee due to its association with minced hogs. Good job Amos!

Should I have told her the truth then? Well, its obviously too late to say that bachormee are actually minced babyeyeballs.

It has been perceived that Amos chose the name because he eats bachormee and thinks that everyone else does. I think it is time for a perception check, as taught by Dr Hao.

On MSN
Me: Hey Amos did you choose the name bachormee for the blog because you eat bachormee?
Amos: Erm, I like bachormee. But, refer to post 1 for details.

This is what was posted in post 1, for your reference.

"Why Ba Chor Mee? Well as stated earlier, the plan for this blog is to open it up for the rest for the batch eventually and I believe u can have Ba Chor Mee with Mee Kia and possibly with Mee Sua and Mee Tai Mak (don't quote me) But if you feel the name sucks, we can always change it again to something to suit our needs."

Well, I think we have proven conclusively that Amos chose the name without the intention to be insensitive and offend said anonymous person.

With this cleared up, I have but one thing to say.

I'm glad I tested my perception. *Cue cheesy polka music*

oh, and I'm not really a fan of mee soto. why don't we change the name to "mee-siam-mai-hum.blogspot.com.". lol. just kidding.

Why didn't i see that before?

2007-08-22T01:01:00.000+08:00

Well. It just occured to me that here i am, posting on this site called "Bachormee" and it's some PORK noodle store! I mean, seriously. How insensitive can that be! MINCED PORK NOODLE STORE!

Whoever came up with this name, obviously did not put much consideration or thought into it. This person thinks that just because HE eats Ba Chor Mee, everyone else does! Now, what kind of logic (if it even IS one) is that? I would not call my site babyeyeballs.blogspot.com just BECAUSE i eat the eyeballs of babies right? That would just be inconsiderate.

What he should have done was ask eveyone first.. get a consensus on whether everyone is ok with Ba Chor Mee or would they like something else.

What next man. What next.

By the way, HalalMeeSotoStore.blogspot.com is still available.

I write this in jest ok. Haha. hope you took it with a bottle of salt. Kudos to Amos as well as everyone else who contributed. Keep this place alive y'all! I'll drop by ocasionally to add some drama... Even if it means having to avoid the minced pork. :)

Canteen Grades.

2007-08-22T00:00:00.000+08:00

And week 3 is here and we all seemed to have survived pretty well. Here is a round of applause!

Anyway, I thought of doing a writeup on the various canteens on campus. After all, all the pre hype of school is kind of faded and whats left are the yucky tutorials and incomprehensible mish mash of words they call readings.

Based on my personal experience thus far (which isn't a lot by the way), I can say that Canteen B is a No Go if you have time and choices. Not saying that Canteen B's food is bad. Maybe the auntie didn't like me. I tried the Mee Soto, which intriguingly had more bean sprouts then noodles.

Quad Cafe has relatively decent food. But of course with nice aircon and nice seats there has to be some hidden strings attached right? The food there costs about $1 more then around campus. So if you don't mind the price and want to enjoy the aircon, Quad Cafe is the place to be. Tried the japanese food and laska there. At $4.50 the Japanese food is not fantastic but alright. However, at $3 the prawn laska there is a steal and is highly recommended. (At least thats what my taste buds tell me) It is expensive yes, but you pay for the comfort.

For the only place on campus that has a place that is open till 11pm at night for food, Canteen A boasts of relatively cheap and good food. Not forgetting that Mcdonalds (which by the way is the store that opens till 11pm) is there and is selling normal meals at $2 off non campus rates, its a pretty hip place to be seen at. Obviously, the walk from WKWSCI is a bit far (for the lazy people which I know are reading this post at the moment) but if you have lectures at the north spine aka LT 11 or anywhere near, it would be more prudent to walk towards Canteen A and have your meal. At $2 the wanton mee was alright, although the soup tasted like $2 soup. The Japanese food at $3.50 was definitely cheaper then the one at the Quad and I dare say comparatively better!

The NIE canteen is a walk inside NIE building and I have been there only once. I don't really have a good impact of it so I shall abstain from writing about it for now.

Canteen 4 only has one store. A giant zi char store is the only thing there and its pretty good with a wide range of foods. Claypot, Porridge, Noodles, you name it! At $3.50 per dish its pretty filling too. Worth the try if you are around these parts.

The last place that I have been (for practicality sake since I live in hall 1) is Canteen 2. Canteen 2 is a perfect place to be at after sports (or maybe not that would explain the stink). Located outside the sports and recreation complex, it sells 100 plus at a price suspiciously inflated. Some of us have tried the beef ball noodles and we say aye! The western food at Canteen 2 is not bad either. ($3.30 Chicken Chop)

For our friends staying at Halls 11-15, please tell us if the food there is good so we can make the trip there! We are lazy you know, to walk there unless they have REALLY good food.

Please stay tuned for more interesting bits of NTU life that could save your life! (or not)

Back to readings....

Man U drew Reading. I am mourning.

By the way, if you were wondering, I was providing a STARS notification service for people who were looking for the modules they wanted. But its comes with a price of one Coffee per match. Sooooooo.... I am expecting to see a few coffees soon. But on a more serious note, anyone still looking for modules they want please feel free to sign up for the STARS notification service and if I am online I will periodically check if the module u want has slots. Of course, that depends on whether I am online, whether I feel like it and whether I woke up on right side of bed.

Boo... I am still mourning. Sad-ed.

the irony.

2007-08-12T17:18:00.000+08:00

anyone noticed the new poll on what you would do to the creator of stars? I chose treating him/her to an 8 course dinner. after all the pleasantries and no doubt "eye spoilage" caused by staring at screens for hours on end, surely that is what you would want, right? no?

anyway, I'm not big into the killing business. I'm not even big into the kill and then eat business. might get stomachache. and I don't have a hannibal complex. besides after I'm done with the guy, I'm not sure I'll have enough stuff leftover to fill 8 courses.

however the poll is screwed up. it says "cannot process request!". perhaps even blogger is rebelling at the creator of stars getting away so easily, due to the exhaustion of bandwidth on the site of all the pple cursing stars across cyberspace. or maybe that wasn't even a viable option eh? sneaky.

but honestly, why waste bandwidth on stars? we should waste it on lectures! tutorials! bad modules! hall life or lack thereof! tasteless bachormee! bad service in bars! durians! chilling and relaxing! random exclamation marks!!!

the irony. I just wasted more bandwidth. lol.

Much-ER ado about nothing.

2007-08-12T14:02:00.000+08:00

First of all, signing off with a name like "zeiziks oneiros" is just plain cowardly! Who are YOU to tell us what to talk about on this blog? We will darned well talk about school work if we want to! we will darned well talk about STARS if we want! LET them come! we will be ready for them! WE WILL NOT CHILL. WE WILL NOT DRINK MORE, EAT MORE AND PLAY MORE just because some "zeiziks oneiros" told us to! This is preposterous! NEVERMORE.. NEVERMORE!

Anyays the angel thing is quite cool ah. I hope i get a good angel. i hope its a girl so she'll make me lots of luv-ley handmade stuff (ok, am i pushing it here?).. weehoo.

ohyah. my apologies to "zeiziks oneiros". i'm sure you are a wonderful person with good intentions. (Furthermore everyhting is really RICH coming from me, always signing off as 'Anonymous'.. zeiziks oliverios or oneiros or whatever is waaaaay cooler than 'Anonymous'. But you know who i am right.. WELL. THIS. IS. SARAH. BY. THE. WAY.)

neways. i read chang's blog you'll see this absolutely grotesque picture which is so darned funny. if you havent noticed, i've used "so darned" more than four times, including in this sentence. My sense of humour needs tweaking. and thank you for visiting me, Jin. Haha. You are smarter than you think. :)

They tried to make me go to rehab i said no no no...
