We got our shirts! I got the "We'll never steam alone". Thanks guys I really am grateful of it. I will treasure it and it is really a cool shirt. Maybe we can walk on the street one day with the whole crew together. Show the world our might and that we mean business. Today is the dawn of a new era, with theCrew around there will be endless fun and laughter. This reminds me of the quote from warhammer 40k "He who stands with me shall be my brother." - Force Commander. Maybe we're better than the space marines. But no matter what, we're still the best of friends. We'll never ________ alone! Actions speak for itself, boasting too much is useless. Anyway keep up to date for more news about theCrew!

Things in life are just not what it seems
Sometimes terrible things happens. Remember Han Cong and Alvin? Deep shit happened. Crazy people we never see or expect moved into their class. And now, the future looks even bleaker and dull. Now stepping out doesn't look so nice. You see, we can plan everything nicely and thinks that the events we predicted are going to happen. But it always turn the other way around. This reminds me of Freaknomics, the book I picked up some time ago. Now they want to come back to study with us. I hope they appeal successfully. Anyway anymore talking and this is going nowhere. So let's talk about orientation 2. Well, I got no comments. It was definitely worse than O1. Let's just say, freshman can't lead freshman. As simple as that. We couldn't really bond very well, people from the class joining camp leader. It's as if a piece of puzzle is missing.
On a brighter side, our pae people can still hang out together at the park and just chill out and talk. We still supports each other, now that's assuring. And tomorrow theCrew is going to get their t-shirts! w00t! A small step for mankind, a giant leap to changing the world to a more interesting and colourful place! Jon too got his poly course of his choice. We hope you do well there. We'll never _______ alone!

The dilemma JAE and the end of "play and enjoy"(Pae)
Sometimes things are just not what you wish to be. When you wish to just settle down and get on with life, things just change. I had seen this many times, in my high school and now, again. Suddenly, 8am in the morning on a particular day, the whole world suddenly shifted without waiting for you. Once again, there is uncertainty lingering in the surrounding, blocking our vision and hindering our future. Time is wasted, money is wasted and my energy and patience is spent just trying to get used to it again. It's not easy especially with nemesis coming back from high school to haunt you down. It is a living nightmare that never dies, no matter how hard we try. That's the curse of my high school. I never like to complain loud but sometimes we need to voice out. I don't want to screw others on my blog. I just want to lament out the pities of this system. Now, our play time's over, the A levels allow no mistakes and it would be like a orbital bombardment on our brains with extreme ruthlessness and precision. Victory allows no explanation, defeat allows none. This is the reality of education. I accept it. But what I really feel disgruntled about is that at least this system shouldn't break up our lives. We have friends during our trial period and now they are either kicked out or have moved on. For those who moved on, congratulations. But those that are kicked out, it is really a bad move. Why do our batch always have the worse things. Next year, there is no more of this and we are the last of the last to get this treatment. We should all go back and lick our wounds while we can. I really hate it when other humans in much higher positions try to play around with our lives and make decisions on behalf of us.
Anyway I decided to stick to my PAE combination, I have considered maybe a better proposition with a different combination but in the end, I couldn't take a step out of my comfort zone, maybe I'm just confused or something. But I was never a born entrepreneur. Sorry Alvin, Han Cong or all those who moved on to what you all think is best for you. I really admire your courage. You'll all do well.

Valentine day special: who really benefits?
It's quite rare for me to write this type of thing actually, but we can't ignore it completely out of our lifes. Valentine's day, we see people exchanging gifts or confessing about their loves to one another. But why do people have this tradition passed on for so many generations? Valentine did not do a lot like Einstein did to contribute to society. He did not invent the light bulb or find the equations of motion. We never have a Thomas Edison day. I highly suspect that it is a conspiracy by the businesses. They need this type of days, to make more money. The florist down the road just couldn't have survive for so long if this day don't exist. Chocolate factories are having Valentine's Day special for couples. They are like it or not, using us. Just this time, more than ever. So if you think you are a big winner having gotten the girl or guy you like, think again. The true winners are the one selling the gifts. Come to think of it, if you really like the girl, any day could be your day of confession, why Valentine's? Herd mentality is the problem, if everyone does it, I feel more assure thinking. But this herd mental kills a lot of people too, especially on the stock market. The reason why so many jumped when there is a breakdown of the economy. In life there are always two side to things, but we all have different perspective. Which is why humans never get along.
Anyway if you are thinking how I do during this day. I received some gifts of my own, thanks to all those who bother giving me something. Compared to last time in high school, if someone gives you a card or chocolate, you better run for it.

When there's nothing to do, there's always facebook.
Sometimes going online can be pretty boring, especially if you do not have things to download or youtube videos to watch. Not everyone may be online on msn and you wonder why. But when all else fails, there is facebook. A simple website about yourself and your friends. You get to look at what your friends are doing now, for people like me, it is just another function. For stalkers, it is their weapon of choice to time their attack. You must admit how much the internet had changed. Anyway, facebook is fun for the netizens out there, there are lots of interactive games to play, you can poke people for fun and in warbook just pick on people with weird names. Ok takshun, you talked so much about facebook, get to the point, what do you want to say about facebook? I really have no point in this post, there isn't a need to, just randoming around. Isn't this common for bloggers? Maybe my life is mediocre but it is unique in its own ways. Basically, in times to come, when more interesting things come about in the internet, people will leave facebook. Just like Friendster(spelling may not be correct but who cares?), it would soon be forgotten in to the past. Just a matter of when.
But it is never to late to join theCrew, now that's legendary. Cheers to all you Crew members out there.

Just another post
Latest update on Takshun: Well, what could happen? Anyway, quite a few memorable events happened this week. Kevin left for his home country and continue on his bright future in Canada, so it is sad to see him go. Kevin never changed a bit, still so funny. We took a picture and send our last farewell. Until next time, our closest friend. Back to me, it's been a long time since I last blog, but I really sux at blogging. In school, I am just taking things as they come. Really, the A level topics are so much more demanding, worse, I got no motivation to clarify or study. Met some new friends in school from my opposite class, Charles, nice guy. Lucky, Chinese New Year's coming, so I will take things easier and rest while I can.
