The Makings Of The Haunted House 2006:

More than a month of preparation, sweat and joint efforts of 2 wacky classes, the Haunted House for AJC Family Day 2006 IS A SUCCESS !!!! Wooohoooo !!!! Its really happy and encouraging to see our seeds of hardwork ripen into fruits ready for haversting. I mean, haunted house, the main attraction of every carnival, and here in AJC, date 22nd Apr 2006, AJC family day 2006. Oh man....

More than a month ago, when our class leader announced that we will be doing haunted house for family day wif 2305....i was like....oooo....can we make it successful? But instead for being pessimistic and skeptical of the idea, we decide to be optimistic and willing to take the haunted house as a challenge. And hence, the preparation for the main highlight started...

It all started with both class coming together to come out wif different committees for different segment and parts of the project. Then, there is the plot. After which, reshuffle of committes to better suit the needs of the project. I am tasked to lead e smallest committe - sound and yes, i relly appreciate this chance to lead a com. Weeks after weeks of meeting, we soon have the detail plan of the haunted house in black and white. While my committe was busy sourcing for possible sound effects, the rest are busy doing props, publicity, etc... Before we know it, it was only days before the haunted house. The reading room was cleared for us to prepare days ahead. Well, i have to apologize i didn really help much in the decoration and building of e house coz i was rather sick then and hav to get MC still....but then...on e last day, i made an effort to help, not bcoz i want to show my face n tell others i oso contribute, but bcoz i feel i shd contribute coz we r part of a team. And soon, (which was yesterday), the whole thing was done. My com test played e music and the effects were splendid. Then, it was dry run wif some teachers like mr pang and mrs soon.. everything went on well, we r ready for the day....22nd apr !!!

Today is 22nd apr...aj family day 2006...everyone gathered at 7am where we hav our final breifing....and then....haunted house started !!! The queue was long thru-out the four hours. Thats very encouraging. Really, everything goes on well according to plan. Everyone had fun (i hope) and yes, majority of our "customers" are impressed. I was doing adver for e day, walked around pulling pple to haunted hse (mostly pple i noe). Well, digressing to e family day on a whole, not that spectacular as last yr but then....who cares as long as haunted hse is doing fine. Went back a couple of times and was happy to see the queue being forever long. I mean its the highlight of e day. Went in the logistic room to "enjoy e screaming of the visitors". Really funny thou....is like everytime we hear them scream, we would laugh....dun ask me why. We even scared a six yr old kid to tears that we hav to evacuate her....well well....4 hours flew real fast....and haunted hse hav to cease operation. Awwwwww.....those still queuing were disapointed. Overall, we made more than 700 bucks that day....gd job guys !!!

Well, every gd thing muz come to an end...i am glad this is an happy end for i guess everyone will always rmb these weeks of effot put into a successful haunted hse for e yr. Very glad and encouraging to hear positive feedbacks from pple who visited. Suddenly no more haunted hse...on my way home...felt a little bit of a loss...but then i'm glad its an happy ending. Once again, i muz thank everyone from 2205 and 2305 for all e hardwork and effort put in....u guys did a great job. I also want to thank my committe - the SOUND committe - Chee, lucia and jinghang....thanks for putting up wif me, thanks for ur handwork and contributions....thanks for making haunted hse a success. Its really wonderful working wif u guys....and to all visitors....thanks for patronizing...hope we didn scare u too much that u will hav nightmares of it forever. Haha. Finally...still....big thank to 2205 and 2305....Haunted House Rawks !!!

3 Cheers n 3 Cheers n 3 Cheers FOR HAUNTED HOUSE

HIP HIP HURRAY !!!!!!

I'm really feeling very stressed....i dunno why....homework seems to be pileing day by day and i start to wonder if i have the stamina to clear them weekly until the A levels. I dunno...alot of things r happening....and before i know or before i try to anticipate them, they flew by just a quick as anything one can imagine. I dunno why i am living my life liddat...its a misery. There were times i want to put all these down...but i cant bear to...and this is e reason perhaps i shd use to encourage myself to continue fighting, that is, i have decent results in class which not all people hav, i shd feel priviledge and hence there shdn b any reason why i m putting them down. However, it is these "decent" results i got that makes me want to get even more "decent" results. Well, people who know me will know i am a perfectionist. Some say horoscope is bluff but at least i believe how it depicts my character as a leo. It is really true. I cant stand being in second place, i want to be first. I want to achieve the best of all, just like the lion in the jungle, the king of the jungle. Putting this in my study context, i cant stand not doing well. Also, i keep aiming to do very well, sometimes way beyond my limitations and capabilities. I dunno why but there is just this burning sensation in me that keeps on tell me that my current decent grades are not good enough and i should go for better grades, perhaps e best ? Take the recent phys wave test for example. According to my term 1 result slip, i got 95% which is 24/25. Its very good i muz admit....infact one of e bests...however, seeing the highest in college is 100% full marks, i start to blame myself why i m unable to achieve that...because of that single qn on angle of polarization which i feel i am still right for that option of answer i choose. But then, perhaps this is my personal problem. This sense of not being able to attain self satisfaction. It is just like water, it can float a boat so can it sink a boat. It can serve as a fuel to push me to do my very best for my prelims n Alevels but it can also destroy me by instilling demoralization within me. How the outcome will be will depend on how i maniplulate it. And perhaps thats the reason i am feeling so stressed. Perhaps the evidences of self destruction have already surfaced and i should take note before things evolve into an uncontrollable state. Well, life goes on....i wonder if i can cope, but one thing for sure....i am feeling real stressed....i want to take a good break to refresh myself...but the current situation forbade me to.....:(

PS: thanks matt, sc n ks for the kbox session today...really enjoy it....thanks lots :)
