ECLIPSE TODAY!!
i think.
when though.

singapore is filled with stubborn people(in my class.)

 

[Domination]

People were like saying how there wasn't an eclipse (it was raining!) Sad, but not that I care, the eclipse is just meh in Singapore from what I heard, not as impressive as elsewhere.

Oh and LC today was quite alright, not bad sia, can pass lar.

Tomorrow Racial Harmony Day! I don't feel like going to school, no ethnic costume got my size.

 

[iPikachu]

RHD's tomorrow?
don't think my school'll let us wear, last year they did but i think this year they forgot to announce.

i always tikam on LCs. 6/20 ftw!

 

[Domination]

Actually no. RHD has passed (or hasn''t passed yet). Its just our schools arrangement. And I can't find an ethnic costume my size

And LOL, the LC was broadcasted over 92.4 symphonic channel. Classical music

The teachers said that the civil defence planes aren't allowed to fly today and constructions must stop too right? Cool.

 

[mrfatso]

does matter if there's an eclipse or not, i just reached home and i am so tired, where got energy to look at the sky?

 

[Vidboy10]

Hey guys i saw the Eclipse yesterday.
FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Oh yeah my Bday is tomorrow. :3

i didn't know about the planes thing and the constructions part, but yea, even during my time it was broadcasted over the mainstream radio stations. it was pretty amusing!
went back to my secondary school yesterday cos my friends were feeling nostalgic and wanted to go back and eat in the canteen... but it didn't occur to us earlier that there would be a national exam on that day so the school dismissed early and canteen closed by 2 and teachers were all out invigilating; in short, it was the worst day to choose to go back to school to visit

surprisingly though, not much has changed considering that i have left for more than 5 years.

RHD is super fun la! at least if your whole class is on and almost everyone wearing costume... always got plenty of funny things happen on that day, not to mention teachers will not be in the mood to teach even if there are supposed to be lessons.

mrfatsoBy the way, is it true that the casino once it is open, will have a 100 dollars enterance fee?

yup, meant to deter gambling addicts from lower income families from going in and spending all their family fortune in the casino. if you ask me, it only means they will go there and stay longer cos they need to make at least $100 to break even haha. but i don't really see a point in going to the casino unless you play with higher stakes; if not, just wait for the next year's CNY or if you have no morals, the next void deck wake and go play poker lor. i mean so many ppl already doing that, there's no entry cost and at least you playing with ppl you know so more fun mah! i just went macau earlier this year and thought the casinos were cool but boring; the architecture was nice, especially the Venetian (go google it, its so beautiful), but the activity was like meh, and many many many ppl smoking in an indoor airconditioned area makes it worse.

@Vidboy10: happy be-early-ed birthday!! haha on a side note, i love HK too! TVB actresses are so pretty... ??? and ???!!! :drools: too bad i can't speak canto

I can't speak Cantonese Either!
I just use English! LOL
But my dad is forcing me to take cantonese.

Nope, I suppose it doesn't. But you know, these things only happen a few hundred years and the next one is supposedly in 100+ years. So unless you're around then, you've missed your chance. Now there's one less thing to tell your grandchildren.

I missed it too.

I'd assume many people don't see it that way. Probably, a lot of them are bored with their lives or desperate and don't go in to have "fun."

 

[mrfatso]

so did anyone managed to take a picture of the eclipse ?

Anyway, happy Birthday to u vidboy

RHD is was pretty fun back in secondary school

During assembly, there will just be performances by students, tamil dancing, some basic wushu being shown, a skit or 2, and the teachers will also make a performers and sing a song

oh man, if i were you i would jump at the opportunity! for me, canto is just too confusing especially since i already know 2.5 chinese dialects, but yea, TVB dramas are my biggest motivation... one day i hope to at least be able to understand it without subs LOL

haha, RHD ftw! i was looking through my sec school RHD photos a few days ago, damn nostalgic! everyone still so cute HAHA... trust me, few years down the road you should gather a few friends at your house and look through your year books... its quite a good tea time topic haha

 

[iPikachu]

my teacher said the eclipse happened in the godamned afternoon (ytd) when it was...


RAINING.


>_>
so obviously we weren't looking (i was at macdonalds so couldn't see anything)
and we missed it.
my classmate said the next (complete)one is at 2132? i think.


my school doesn't have assembly anymore, so there's no performances or anything.
oh well!

i rather learn jap than canto or chinese or what ever >_>

 

[mrfatso]

pika, mastered chinese first, jp is a tad more confusing, but if u want, i see if i can find my old japanese notes and scan them

If u want, i can try scan the entire thing as well, all those exercise and etc

right now i have chinese informal letter to do and i don't understand my notes at all. D:
i'm probably going to just spam read the scans until i remember it lulz.

 

[Vidboy10]

Oh yeah btw.
I'm going in 4 days.

Alot of people are going to be jelous. :3
Including Sephi.

Also what do you guys think of my sig?

 

[Domination]

LOL.... RHD was meh, only a few people in our class wore.

But I think RHD is redundant. To remind people of racial harmony, we have a special day. Meh. Racial Harmony is around us every single day, so why do we need a reminder? I think its better for the children to learn themselves.

Sometimes, the NE education we recieve sound redundant to me.

i'll click on it when i get home.
