Parting Words

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

*Sighs* This week has just became more depressing – especially with the knowledge that the school purposely reshuffles students every semester such that there is minimal chance of you being with your previous peers who you already bonded so well with, knowing them…er, some of them, inside out. (some others, you don't wish to know them inside out – knowing what's inside [both physically and psychologically] would probably make you puke. so, NO.)

It's 1.19am currently, and those who were actually alive in W24R would be meeting in 8 hours and 41 minutes more for our possibly last gathering @ Sentosa – besides the chalet coming up, which I'll not really be able to attend. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to it, and yes, already packed my huge Canon 10D with super expensive lenses to capture some really sweet moments.

For those who actually bothered to come, I got some nice pics with them, but the rest.. Nevermind, we'll see tomorrow! :D
PS: Salihin, I didn't delete the ones of the guys and keep those only of the gals leh. I'm so good lor =x

Let's begin with our favourite (ex-birthday boy), Wilson:

Wilson's shiny teeth Food is good

As expected, Wilson, is as usual, caught up with food. He always manages to convince us to allow him to pack food back from any corner of the school, and I do wonder if his diet is actually working, but it won't be surprising if its actually not. But hey, who am I to comment if a diet works? I'm too lazy myself to go on one (unless Lafina darling forces me, lah – that one's different story).

Anyways, Wilson has been a great guy so far. He argues really well in lessons, but always loops around his own point – good defensive person, but he will never make a great offensive, sad to say, because he needs to see beyond himself, in my opinion. Still, he sticks to what he believes, and that's probably why most of the gals in the class find him a very good pal to be with. Also maybe because he doesn't flirt with them, doesn't give them dirty stares (like *cough* someone *cough*). He himself knows best, I guess.

 

Salihin - never fails to show the Mat side of him to the class which is already laughing due to his actions!:

 1 eye down. Walking back one last time...

Okay. At first we thought he was the same kind as his counterpart – don't do work, don't contribute, talk cock, and stuff. But we were wrong! He's not! He's worthy of joining the Clever Bastard's team. Really nice guy, with all kinds of silly suggestion, and a very supportive gf to back him up (from what I see) whenever his jokes get a little too lame at times. Its amazing how he understands Chinese too, (though I also undertand Malay). Still, he really watches others' back – never let his own people "die" behind!

 

Next on the list is.. Ashikin (aka Shikin, aka Noraini) 

Shikin!

The girl who "hates pink and loves blue" but always ends up wearing and owning pink objects. It doesn't take anyone to pay special attention to her to realise that, seriously. Almost everything is PINK on her – I'm not saying its not nice or anything.. but, yea, just draws alot of attention; which brings me to the point that she's very sociable. I think sociable enough that Wilson tried hitting oh her in the first few days of school? Or was I mistaken?

Anyways, she's one of the perfect working partners – productive, responsible, leading – and she dares to talk back when she thinks her ideas are wrong. Though somehow, she accepts my ideas, with little argument… Besides that, she's linked as "Pretty Gal" on the links on the side of this page not because I named her that, but because she requested it Sealed

 

Then comes Wesley, the guy who I could never convince to join my Chee Hong Interest Group (CHIG) – which I used to be a founder of:

Wesley Snipes!

He's too tall, frankly speaking. And that's also why I don't know what would happen if I stand beside him inside the MRT. People would look at him like he's a GIRAFFE, and me like I'm… Me. He makes a really good pal, and can keep secrets – how many of the class gals actually confided in him, arh? – but still, accidential leaks sometimes! BWAHAHAHA. He's one of those quiet thinkers. Think and think and formulate argument.

Then everything comes out in one line and the next think you know, you're dead.

 

The comes my good "brother", the Sweet Potato (Hang Zhi), Fredrik: 

Fredrik Potato Hang Zhi

Fredrik has the natural ability to morph into a tuber root plant whenever he is agited. Requires 250 Mana and has a 5 second cooldown. 400 AOE damage. 

Nah, just kidding. He's another of the really nice friends to have – one that you can always trust when you need someone to do that. No, trust is very important in my field of work, which is literally distrust, so therefore.. Trust is important. Still, he's one of the very few always "on" people. If you can suggest it, he'll do it, and he'll be there. Guranteed. That's one of the points of him which makes him an absolute friend!

 

What goes Red, redder, and redder? I think it's Joanna

Tomato Gal

She's the only gal with the natural ability to acquire redness at 3 different stages, namely:

  1. Ears red
  2. Cheeks red
  3. Whole face (including neck) red

This is a skill which I would assume she acquired from a organic Tomato, which looks fresh, juicy, and RED. Other than that, she's very, very quiet, but can talk back if required. She sucks at MSN games though – even though I purposely let her win at times, otherwise she wouldn't have any mood to do the work I assigned her =X

 

They always say; Save the Best for the Last. Well, I'm not going to say anything. You go figure it out. (Fredrik, if you want to intepret that as a pun, go ahead). Here's Zixin:

 Hottie =x

Yes, I know. All 3 shots I took with her looked weird as she was sitting down and I was standing up. So basically, I looked wrinkled, a little. Amazing how she mantains that composure (stiff face) when taking the photos, but I'm not going to question anything.

She's a very great friend whom we could dwelve into literally any topic about, together or without Serene (stupid Serene lah, everytime realise I do something which I'm not supposed to then come and spot me.).. And she never, ever, turns down lunches at Pastamania whenever the problem is managable such that we have enough buffer time to scoop extra cheese into her Fuscili Bacon Aglio. What she could improve on is to leave some cheese behind for me in the container.

Getting to work, she can work really well, only thing is that she doesn't want to at times – but cannot blame her also, because I'm also lazy and didn't push her hard enough. Oops.

Adios, W24R...

This marks the last time we saw W24R. Wilson caught a photo of it too. We kept it real clean, and neat.. But still, it had a solemn mood overcast on it.. Despite the lifted blinds.. *Sighs* Parting with a part of your life isn't easy at all……

Kelvin’s Equity Theorem

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Seriously, there's a real lack of any theorem or model to describe boy-girl relationship in Singapore Republic Polytechnic, thus, I thought I should spearhead the project and take the lead to design such a model – which is partially derived from Adam's Equity Theorem which is used to account for loss of motivation in the office (so the theory can be also used to count loss of motivation in a relationship, I think.):

CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR A LARGER SIZE!

 Kelvin's Equity Theorem

Guys and gals. Everyone, basically. Let me know what you think.

Should I get this published into a book or something? Together with my DeRiw short stories. Hehe.

Server Crash

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Edit: Posts and comments are restored already. Thanks for your patience, guys/gals! 

Unfortunately, the server has faced a crash, and at first sight, it seems apparent that two of my latest posts are gone – but.. I have the text saved! Muahahah! Thus, I will repost them, together with the comments ASAP. It's 3.19AM now. Give me some sleeping space. Thanks =X

Smiles!

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Oops. I fell asleep halfway while typing the previous post – and you guys commented already, so I think I'll just start a new one. Somehow, sleeping from 7pm to 1am felt GREAT! Only thing was, I was so soundly asleep that I missed the alarm in my phone to do my Reflection Journal (which probably contributes to 80% of my daily grade with this facilitator) at 9pm… and I missed several SMS'es from Lafina. Blush

Still, that gives me roughly a few hours to post on some perfect moments I captured during our class' (anyone who has a LIFE in our class, at least) mini-trip to the funfair @ the field next to Causeway Point! Oh, and yes, it's Wilson [the Dinosaur/Missles/Torpedos/FatBastard]'s birthday! He's also the guy whose butt got compared with a gal's (and it *DID* show a huge contrast) - several posts back!

Here's the birthday boy himself (the day before). People often say he is "Gay" or "Sissy" or "Gu Niang" (local slang for girl-like demeanor). But I do think otherwise. Why so? (see below)… If he can expose his underpants's like that – in a provocative position, and show off his beautiful legs the whole day like those uncles @ kopitiam (coffee shops) does, I don't see why he looks Gu Niang?

Wilson's Sexy Butt Wilson's Hairless Legs

And.. its time for the SMILES!!!

Vivian and Chris Chris looks blur!

Kee siao Yanting! Too tall for the camera, Wesley?

Yunting looks so white? Is she dead? Porn makes Mikhael horny.

Wilson - the birdday boy!

Whoa. I took all that in a less than 5-minute timeframe! How does EVERYONE smile? I do believe this is a rare moment, but I failed to capture the smiles of Wynner and Kevin and Fredrik – but I can assure you, they smiled also! Oh, and doesn't Vivian and Chris (1st photo) look so sweet together? Heheheheh.

Scary smiling machine

Then right, we saw one of the rides smiling at us, too. Abit freaky, I know – because Fredrik started singing "Someone's Walking Behind You" which was played in the Final Destination 3 movie. Scary stuff, man!

Still, we're all in one piece. And I didn't play the rides. So even if those who did play had errrr.. consequences, also not my problem… right?

PS: Wesley – thanks for reminding me to be contended with my food. Really appreciated, or else I'd gotten greedy =X

Trust and Sushi

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

I wonder if everything that happened today were to be classified into Positive and Negative categories – how many of each would I accumulate? But no, happenings and incidents can't be classified this way – some seemingly bad things always turn good in the end - like the misunderstanding I had with Lafina the other evening, it seems both me and her has alot to learn. Wink

Still, if you may, allow me to go back a little to the sushi talk. I miss sushi – haven't had any in a while.. But that doesn't mean I refrain from other side dishes. Anyways, I've adapted a little folk story, about a Frenchman - Jacques DeRiw, who happens to find himself in a sushi joint. Pretty entertaining, if you're into the food scene, I suppose…

DeRiw walks around the Sushi District near his home, taking in the scent of freshly cut sashimi and sushi around him. A plate of sushi goes past. He turns his head and stared at it blankly. Wow. It's like nothing he's seen before – but he knows that those are premium sushi, only meant for those with Imperial Credits, or those who could be patient enough to wait for the chef to complete those royal orders, first.

Then, DeRiw approaches a roadside sushi stand; and sees a very unique plate of sushi on it – Milk sushi. He then realises that he hasn't saw one made out of milk in ages. He reaches forward to grab a plate – but then he gets stopped, and a sweet voice was heard, "Eeh ('sorry' in Japanese), sushi not for sale, only can taste it – that is new product". DeRiw nods and understood the message. All the more interesting – sample only sushis!

He lifts up his chopsticks and pick a small one up, feeling the sushi melt onto his tongue as he puts it into his mouth. When was the last time he had something so casual yet creamy? He thinks back about the sushi bento delivery service order he placed back a few weeks ago – Japanese Rice, 2 mixed dishes, and Miso Soup… The mixed dishes were okay, just that the Miso Soup turned chalky at times, and he doesn't like soup he can't see through!

Enough with the DeRiw short story – I really do think I should write a book sometime, it will hit the Bestsellers, I'm sure. People can figure out puns and stuff more efficiently nowadays. They'll probably start associating creamy with sexual juice or something. Not my fault, though. I'm just a writer, however they wanna intepret it is their own perception.

Now, here's MY perception. I have a problem with the truth, accepting it, specifically. Simply put: I don't trust people – and even if I do, it's only for the moment; NOBODY nor anything has my absolute trust, because I know at one point or another, things tend to look doubtful and unclear.  *Sighs* The real world. How nice.

But at least I get to hug Lafina all the way to school from the MRT, and that does help a lot! Having her by my side and all. Yes, that also includes the small little pecks on the cheeks! Love her for everything she is, and that! <3*

Edit @ August 12th, 1.42am : Added pic =X

 Me and Darling! (National Day)

Anyways, they had this Technoprenuer talk in school today.. and being the inquisitive/wannabe I was, I of course went and checked it out (for the points, that is.) Then, there was this CEO of TenCube – a local company who develops handphone applications for recovering lost/stolen phones – who was going around asking if we had questions.

Kelvin's mind got to work, and in under a minute, constructed a question to get him in a fix. What I did like about him was the way he handled the situation – no denial, no crap, no bullshit – straigtaway "We'll look into the flaw"! Wow. How many firms' CEO do that about their flagship product?.. and as I walked out of the Lecture Hall, his assistant approached me with a namecard and asked if I wanted a job.

Personally, I'd take it – but if taking it means time-off with my darling, then no. I'd rather not. Chances and opportunites can be created all so easily. I've created so much for myself!

Wait wait. Trust? What about it?

  • I just don't trust the whole idea of working for the company I just made lose face
  • I don't trust it when my classmates ask me to do something
  • I don't trust other people's work
  • I don't trust people's abilities

and there's so much more in which I don't trust! *sighs*

Who do YOU trust? ..or WHAT?

The long awaited update…

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

…is here. Bwahaha.Guns

First things first: Yes, yes, yes. I know many my dear loyal readers wanna get a piece of me now – for not updating in a long, long, time – like over half a month. Even our dear Wesley (refer to tagboard) has started using "wtl" – short for "What the Lup", which is a self-censored version of "What the F***". Nevertheless, I feel that i should send out apologies to all you guys, gals and bisexuals (specifically YanTing from my class, W24R – see tagboard again)

Ok, as the late Winston Churchill once said.. "There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true." Therefore, rumours are better off being either 1. Addressed and confirmed quickly, or 2. Denied and turned down… and since I don't think it's fair to my (yes, mine) girlfriend that I keep our relationship under wraps, I might as well post it here..

Darling and me!

Yes, I'm taking the first of the two options. Innocent Her name's Lafina, btw. Do shout out a "Hi!" to her if you see her in school. Thanks! She deserves the attention – I promised to give her all of mine. Heh.

Now, for the not so pleasant part of the "News of the Day":

Being attached also means:

  1. Cannot have scandals/affairs with other girls
  2. Cannot anyhow "beo" (slang for look) at other girls without permission
  3. Must (try to) be faithful

…and that also means I cannot demonstrate my Kung-fu anymore. *Fires off a few Kelvin-ra-teh (rhymes with "karate") kicks as a closing move*

Still.. Here's the scoop for the.. Many weeks. (yes, got photos also!)

Mikhael's ...Head

As expected, yet another of my classmates - Mikhael does damn "clever" things again. This photo somehow looks like the "head" of something… Doesn't it?

Sebestian shaking leg

Ew. Now we know why viruses like SARS, Bird Flu, are so common. *Sighs* People like this…. *Shakes head – the one on top of the neck.*

Now, for the photos I took at the World Cyber Games Asian Championship 2006 (Inter-school) Event, since we were there to marshal for the game – make sure nobody cheats and stuff.. But we ended up giving out flyers. What the hell. Still, lots of interesting shits, er, shots, I mean, for everyone.

Wynner sleeping Panda and Wynner Zzzing

Actually, we have so much work to do, that we all were so hardworking at it. Not just the both of them, we ALL were hardworking, REALLY!! *cough*

Suspenders

Then when that yellow guy woke up, he decided to try something slightly CLEVER. Wearing our gaming tags as suspenders. Apparently, he loved the attention which we gave him for that. Actually, we probably thought he was gay.

After that, one of the girl *cough* friend of a guy in the group who came along (Vivian) asked me where was the nearest "Kopitiam" (coffee shop in hokkien), and then I thought she literally meant the brand name. Thus, we started off on a 3km work from Funan to Dhoby Ghaut. I was sure at that point of time everyone was going to carry me and throw me on the road for cars to bang, lah.

Luckily, Chris didn't take part, otherwise I won't be here by now. Who knows what an Ex-Ah Beng (slang for gangster-like character) will do to me. Sheesh… and then we took some photos!

Mimic 1 Mimic 2 Mimic 3

Guess who we were mimicking!? Come on!!! Guess, then post it in the tagboard or in the comments of this post! (and yes, for those who don't know them, they're not really *that* gay in real, lah. Just in the photos, that's all.)

Ok, that ends it for today. I will post something more tomorrow or so – I need to sleep, lah. Have fun guessing – and if you drool over my girlfriend, I will personally KILL you. Thankiew.
