4A 2009 BBQ Post 2

2009-03-18T15:46:00.008+08:00

RAWR. Hey there.

Uh... in case anyone noticed, the pack 1 and 3 link were swapped but that has now been fixed.

The torrent link will be up soon for those who actually wants it.

Torrent Link:
Torrent File

For those who don't want to use torrent or have no idea how to, stick to the DDL links below.

PS: I finally felt the greatness of 1mb/s download speed. Part 3 only took 3 minutes 30 seconds to download.

Use a download manager called Download Express if you want better speeds when downloading. (Recommended by the person who last posted.)

Class Outing 3/09 - The Photos

2009-03-17T23:20:00.007+08:00

Hey guys this is gibs here, before I write up on the event, just like to let you guys know that the whole event photos are available on the links below. However, do be warned that these files weight in at a whopping total size of ~670MB. Get all three of them, then extract, as you cannot extract the file packs individually.

File Pack 1
File Pack 2
File Pack 3

To download it, just click on the 'Request Download Ticket' text. Then click on the direct file link that will appear shortly after :)

+ In order to achieve faster download speeds, you can use Download Express so that you get maximum download speeds for the internet plan you get. Also, iFile.it also supports multiple threads for each download, so you get your photos fast :D

* If your antivirus tells you that Download Express is a virus, just ignore it, as it isn't a virus. Trust me on this ;)

You have been warned on the file sizes :D

gibs.

D polls and what-nots

2009-01-24T15:05:00.003+08:00

Well, well, well... I bet a pretty penny some of you thought I have forgotten about the polls by now.

However!

They are already up and running so you all have till the last minute before Valentine's day this year to vote. No funny polls there so prepare to take everything with a relatively serious note. (Not)

No signs of Joshua posting anything here yet so... yeah, do more than tagging already. XD

And as I now head towards ending this post in a witty manner... allow me to tell you all a short story about what happened in one of my most recent pop quiz given to me by my lecturer...

Question 5:
Note: This MCQ question might have more than one answer.
Choose as many as you think is correct.

1. Happy!
2. Chinese!
3. New!
4. Year!

And you will get 2 marks for getting it correct! :P

Well then, have a Happy Chinese New Year for all askarians and all the best for everything!

Incoming CNY!

2009-01-14T18:16:00.003+08:00

*Radar distortion noises*

All right. I am sure that anyone who sees this now will go, "Why are you still posting on a barely alive class blog?"

My answer would be, "Good question. Now stop asking."

Anyway, just to pass about a little hint on the upcoming polls, one of which will be regarding CNY, another would be a subject closer to heart and the last one... a surprise.

Speaking of which, I "ran" (Not literally, of course) into the la- I mean the one who started this all recently. (Not Mr Peh, just in case anyone was thinking of him)

Going on, it simply means that I met Joshua. Now, it seems the only thing he remembers me for is "4A class blog" and mentioned something about changing the blog skin (Hopefully soon if he means it). And so, we might have a new blogskin to be admiring.

That about wraps up this post... and just in case anyone wonders who posted the previous post, look below.

Happy New Year - 2009

2009-01-01T00:33:00.002+08:00

Hello once more, fellow ASKARIANS!

A year has finally gone by since our parting after the O levels and so on...

And frankly speaking, I have no idea what I intended to do or get done by posting this anyway.

Most importantly at hand would be to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Gone is 2008 as we are now in 2009 and venturing foward.

At this point of time, most guys/gals who have gone to Poly are probably still in school, (T_T)
and well... most JC guys/gals are probably just done with their holiday break. (Also T_T)

As for our Askarians who are overseas, whether the new year had already passed hours ago or is still approaching at the time of this post (GMT +8), it's hard to say what they are doing right now and so if any one of you who are overseas and reads this, please tag on the Cbox or message over MSN for the blog account and pass so that we can know how you are doing at the moment. (:D)

And that about wraps up my post after stealing the chance for the first post just after the New Year (Although I think no one actually was competing for the first post other than me) and once again, Happy New Year to all the Askarians and anyone else who visits our blog.

PS: Poll center has no polls going yet. One is being planned to start real soon...
PPS: PS stands for Post Script. :)

Teacher's Day 2008

2008-08-16T03:01:00.003+08:00

Mushi mushi?

Ni men hai hao ma?

So yeah... long time no post. If you have any to say about my attempts at Chinese and Japanese, feel free to. Down to business... It's been months since the last post and about a year since Askari has parted. *Sniff*?

Teacher's day is coming up this 1st September and Gibson and some other old Askarians will/might be going back to give some of the teachers we still know a surprise( and a gift?). So the reason why I mentioned Gibs is because he's the guy behind this return of mine (Uh... I had planned my return some time later) as well as this old school revisit. So anyone interested, please post in the Cbox or msg us over MSN and maybe we could all set up something.

PS : Here's something extra from the MSN conversation we had to reel you guys in. :P

MSN Convo :
Stick says:
Okay
Stick says:
I got into the blog
Stick says:
What do you want me to say about Teacher's day?
Chill³ / gibby says:
just say whether they want a meeting or not...
Stick says:
Hmm
Stick says:
Shouldn't it be more like I am going back to schol, want to come along or not?
Stick says:
*school
Chill³ / gibby says:
yeah sumth like that
Chill³ / gibby says:
sumth to reel them in
Stick says:
lol
Stick says:
Okay

So yeah. Do join us and all have one big meeting, okay?

and while talking to her on msn, tears starts to roll down my cheeks.
i dont know why, guess i realli miss u all too much

school have started, we got our new class.
but let me tell u all something that u all wont believe.
i am very quiet in my class. and i am very serious.

i dont know why i am like this.
maybe cos i really cannot fit myself into a class where not even a single askarian is in .
a class where.. there are no familiar face.
a class where none had been through the thick and thin with me.
a class.. a class where i havent find my purpose of being in there..

this all all just sudden feeling.. so sudden that i feel like telling u all..
those who still remb askari as ur class.
we might be the worst in ppls eyes..
but to me.. and some of u out there..
we know deep down out heart.. askari is the best..
no one will ever... and never replace askari in my heart..

2008-02-11T21:49:00.000+08:00

Ok. One piece good news and another piece bad. Guess we will go with good first. A new poll is up and it is about how much you got for the Chinese New Year. This poll is friendly to all and hence, do take part in voting and sharing with the rest of the class. In other news, the Cbox have been cleared and is now in a brand new state. Please refrain from posting more than three times in the row unless you have almost completely use up the space in the three tags and have more to say. With the reset, may the Cbox have a new start and no signs of possible spammage.

Alright. If you look below the C-Box Area now, there is one link. I will need you guys who want to be listed to send me your blog's URL and the nick/name that you want to have displayed along with it. Joshua sent me a copy of the old blog's template but I can't find it so all those who were previously on the blog is also gone. (Joshua, please resend.) But if you don't want to wait for him, just send me your blog's URL and nick/name if you don't see it under the links still.

The Result is out!

2008-01-24T17:46:00.000+08:00

Askari !
First and foremost.... Congratulations to those who have done well....
Congratulations also to those who didn't do so well, but did well enough!
Congratulations to those, who didn't do well......
In short, Congratulations to EVERYONE!

You know why ?
Cause we have gone through the whole O levels as ONE class....
We have gone through 2 years together.. as one united body! =]
That's what matters...

I know, right now... there are some of us, who missed by that few pts, or even one point....
There are also some of us, who have done well enough to stay in JC...
Also some of us, who have done extremely well, to go to a JC....

Whatever it is, The Askari Spirit still lives in all of us....

But let me tell you this..
For every Askarian who cried today... DAD cried the most....
I can tell....
For every Askarian that cried today.. DAD cried, because which DAD doesn't want their children to do well?

But well, It's over...

Nothing can be done to change the marks.
We have to live live according to how we have fared.....

To Yanming,
You were the first person who cried ....
It's okay.
English is NOT everything....
You have done well for others yeah ?
So.... pursue the Poly course you wish to go to..and Jia You!

To Felicia, TianJiao, BeeChin,
You are the 3 superwomans' of Askari...
Even though you lost the battle to Damien,
We are still proud of you!
We love you as much still !
We are still Askarians' forever right ?

Whatever it is, Jia you !

To Kenneth
Even tho you didn't get your DPA successfully, Jia you !
There are other courses which you can pursue... =]
Jia You ! Askari behind you always !

To Sihui
Even tho you didn't do that well for EL.. But... I want you to know. EL is not everything....
NY still would want you... Go back to them, and explain to them....

Jia You!

To the rest, whom I did not know anything.....
Jia you.. No matter how many pts you guys have gotten,
Askari loves you always !

We will forever be ONE class. ONE heart beating.. and ONE united group of children, for our DAD.

To DAD,
We will always be behind you...
Askari loves you alot !
We are sorry if we have not performed the way you wanted us to perform.. especially me...

Whatever it is, Remain as our most wonderful FT, most wonderful Dad, and most wonderful Physics teacher FOREVER!

I LOVE ALVIN PEH !

With that,
Joshua.

O Results Over. Now on to the future.

2008-01-24T17:41:00.000+08:00

That's it! We have done it. Through the O levels and passed the results release, the askarians have been through it all. There was plenty of laughing and crying after the results were given out (Even before the results were given out) , but overall, the askari has turned out just fine. While the end of the O is here and the start of the JAE is out for most, the polls that have bugged us through the years are not over yet. So it about 30 minutes after this post, feel free to drop by www.poll-center.blogspot.com and vote for the choice that suits you the most in the poll. In other news, the blog template will be going through some changes so there will be more stuff around here for you to hang about for as well as music. (As soon as I find time to get around to doing it) With that, I wrap up this post. Hopefully, shortly after this, another askari will drop by this place and post something emo. (To all of the askari : Posting emo stuff on this blog about the O and the last two years should be done within a week after today. XD)

O level results V 1.1, Aftermath Poll & Music V1.3

2008-01-24T00:33:00.000+08:00

Well, in accordance to the update of the previous post, the result are released today, in 14 hours of when this post was made. As mentioned earlier, there will be a poll (One you all might dread or like) made by the end of today, which means we would have gotten our results by then and are either rejoicing or taking the plunge (The plunge into alcohol or soft drinks if you can't get alcohol. Not off a building of course) . I had wanted to put up something about the music playlist on this blog but thought against it. So that's it for this post. However, if any of you have any songs you like and it is hosted on a website where you have it's full url, send me the link so that we can get this started. Wishing the askarians the fate of the most optimistic results we can get, it is the official end of this post from me.

Music 1.2, O Results & Poll

2008-01-18T20:18:00.000+08:00

*Ahem* In this post, I woould like to cover a few things. Firstly, there is no music on the blog yet(You know why.) Maybe I will put back the old song after all. Secondly, O level results will be released next week.

25th, It believe.

And with that, this post is done. Btw, incoming poll on the day of the results release.

Edit : It is on the 24th. Which also means it is but hours away from the result result. Good luck to those who wants it. Good job for those who are confident. For those who are confident in doing poorly and do not care, you are on your own.

I have half day off... Emo post beginning....Heh...... Not exactly emo. But memories..

Remember this picture??

It brings back memories don't they ?
Tingli, the once quiet girl in 3A, became the once noisy girl in 4A.....
Funny eh?

Remember this ?

I miss the jokers.. They were the ones who brought laughter, jokes, and life to the class.... As if the iconic chairman wasn't enough, they added more life !

Remember this ?

And this ?

And this ?

Sometimes, we are all very busy with our lives and our work.. But have we really stopped everything, and just think, I miss Askari.
Askari... Anyone still remember how this word came out?

It came about because DAD wanted us to be warriors, to fight.. If Im not wrong, Askari means warrior in another language.. was it latin or portugest.. whatever it is...

Im listening to this song, called To Where You Are....

Who can say for certain..
Maybe you're still here
I feel you ard me
Your memory so clear...

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're sitll an inspiration can it be?

That you are mine... Forever love...
U're watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are , beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
to see you smile.
If only for awhile to kno you are there
a breath away is not far to where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream.

As my heart holds you,
Just one beat away....
I cherish all you give me...
Everyday...

Cause You're mine...
Forever love,
watching me, from up above...
And I'll believe that angels breathe..
And that love will bve more then never leave

Fly ... Me up to where you are, beyond the distant star...
I wish upon tonight... to see you smile.....
If only for ahwile to know you're there....
A breathe aways' not far from where you are...

A breathe aways' not far to wherre you are...

Tears are flowing down my face now...
THose 2 years.. HAVE BEEN THE BEST OF MY LIFE !
Everything.. ranging from lessons. to PE lessons, to outings to NYP, SP, TP, everywhere..
Even going for assembly, Askari always take our own sweet time... talk... But isnt' that where the bonding is ?

Bonding, is most impt in friendship... Yeah.
If not, how do you further understand your friends.. let alone know what is happening to them, at a certain stage of their lives?

Well... Time flies... and Askari had to leave Eden eventually..
It's now up to the individual 39 of us, to keep in touch... amongst ourselves...

Gatherings? I hope so...

Music Playlist Part 1

2008-01-11T23:35:00.000+08:00

Ok. Let's see. Difference in the number of songs we have from yesterday till today. Zero. Things are looking grim for now. So that's all this post is about. I will continue about this next week. Inregardless of changes unless we really hit a full playlist.

Posted By : Hean Jin (I can't find music. Music finds me. lol)

Music Killed - Officially

2008-01-10T22:39:00.000+08:00

Ok. It is official now. I killed the music that would play everytime this page even loads. But in exchange, we are going to have our own music player soon. However, this will require the teamwork of Askarians (Whatever's left of it). If you have any songs uploaded to a wesite and they are mp3 format, please send me the link. Basically what songs and how many is completely dependant on how many links are sent to me and how long I take to upload the playlist. By the way, not more than a total 20 songs first. So if the playlist hits 20, I will post on the blog again. If it doesn't and remain zero, no music player. That's obvious enough.

Posted By : Hean Jin (The music had the effect of me not wanting to visit the class blog)

2008-01-08T22:34:00.000+08:00

What if someone said , when asked, he doesn't miss Askari?
What would be the first thing that comes to your mind?

What if one day, no more Askarian remembers Askari?
Would that be the end of the world?

To me, Yes!
Askari was the class that gave me the most happiness in Yuying

One sentence " I don't miss yuying bah, I don't miss askari that much.. Hey uncle, I got school now okay.... Where got time to miss askari and dad? "

This sentence, not only pained me.. But It set me thinking... Is this person the only one with this thought?

What if, there are a few more out there, who doesn't have Askari in their minds anymore?
That would be very sad.

To me, I won't let ASkari slip out of my mind anyday....
Askari stays in my mind...
I miss the classroom setting
I miss the lessons
I miss the times...

COme on.. I won't go on saying I miss this I miss that, You guys know !!

Sadly, One person, whom I know, and I have already found out, doesn't miss Askari like before...
Is this the hard fact of life ?

Think about it eh?

Josh

2008-01-07T01:51:00.001+08:00

Somewhere out there.. Beneath the light..
Someone's thinking of me, and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer..

I believe.. right now, a certain Askari, is thinking of another Askarian..
Not just one, but everyone......

What has happened to the crazy wacky Askari?
What has happened to the crazy Iconic chairman? We used to hear his voice everyday
What has happened to the Jingkai, Aaron, Bentoh group? We miss them !!

Askari will NEVER sit together as ONE class anymore...
Askari will NEVER sit together in Yuying's canteen to sit down and eat le.
Askari will NEVER sit down in the Maths room to have maths lesson
Askari will NEVER sit down in chem lab, and shout, TIAN JIE! CHEMISTRY !
Askari will NEVER play badminton in SCHOOL HALL as one, and have so much fun!
Askari will NEVER have debating sessions with Mrs Ravi .... Rmb Aaron and Mrs Ravi?
Askari will NEVER sit down to have lessons with Chia-ed!
Askari will NEVER sit down to have PHYSICS lesson with DADDY.
Askari will NEVER sit down in the hall, and sing Marikita for Morning assembly

There are so many Askari NEVERS'
I won't continue
There are so many things to say

Imlistening to this song now.
It's called Bleedin by some singer..
It may be sung by someone who is like, lovelorn, but Im listening to it, on the pretext of MISSING ASKARI.
I miss Askari !

I can only rmb some lyrics

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
they tried to pll me away
but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the faith
You cut me open now

Keep bleedin.. keep keep bleedin.... ( X4)
You cut me open....

Tried very hard not to hear what they talked so loud

But nothigns greater than your company

But i don't care what they say
im' love with u
they tried to pull me away
but they dont know the truth
my heart's crippled by the vein i keep on closing
You cut me open

and i'll
keep bleedin.. keep keeo bleeding!!!

I don't wish to go on guys

It hurts
I cried..

Joshua will never get the chance to sit down with Askari in the EDEn already

Joshua will never get the chance to be lame and retarded in the science lab with murphy and fadzhan

Joshua will never get the chance to smile and camwhore with Jiang next to the Alexteoh's fan

Joshua will never get the chance to sleep in class, and get woken up by my fellow family

Joshua will never get the chance to have physics lessons in class with alvin

Joshua will never get the chance to..... oH man.... tears are flowing down...

I MISS ASKARI !

I can't sleep

Askari, You live in my heart forever !
I love you guys, and you guys will never be forgotten !
No matter how far we are, we are stil ONE.
One family, one breathe, one life, most importantly, ONE DADDY!

Joshua.

2008-01-06T20:32:00.000+08:00

time is moving fast... faster than how it normally does... i still can remember the moment i walk in the school alone for my sec one registration.. and now.. i am already out of the school... isn't that fast???... i think it is..

i still remember the moment i first get in contact with my fellow classmate in askari when i was is sec 3..we know each other... and yea.. believe me.. we ONLY KNOW each other..but as the time pass.. and we had our happy and sad moment together.. we learn to know each other from deep down our heart...
and when i step into the same old classroom during the first day of my sec 4 life... i knew it was a different feeling... the feeling is... is... like going back to somewhere i am very familiar with... a place.. where i know everyone strength and weakness..a place... where there are no stranger...a HOME... some call it..

but this HOME is now gone... the home i always felt that i belong to is no longer to be found... time has taken it away from me.. from all of us who belong to askari..

dont know how long will it be to the next time we meet and talk like how we use to do it... but... we all know that there are always someone out there for cares for us.. and thats everyone from askari....

Blog Skin V1.1

2008-01-02T01:06:00.000+08:00

Ok. Joshua changed the blog skin on 1st January and I decided that no, something was wrong here. And so, changes (Very slight) have been made to the blog skin code by me. I also remember the other thing I wanted to do for this blog. Put in a proper music player. Not going to happen for a while for various reasons and I will not go into them today. So, you should still be able to hear the new background music that came with this new blog skin (I wanted to kill the music, seriously.) . A lot of changes will have to be made to this new skin. Meanwhile, give your comments and opinions about the new blog skin. I will not going into anymore changes until we have finalised that we are keeping this new skin (There might be a poll about this. If you all really want one.) . On a side note, you will notice that any linking to other blogs are now below the Cbox and have not been updated. The events section is also gone (Now is the time to ask this question. "Joshua, did you save the previous blog skin code somewhere?"(Did we even need it?)) . With that, I conclude this post.

Changes to the blog. (For now)

New skin.
Blog links gone.
Event section gone.
Cheesy new picture.
Any post now look awfully cramped.
See for yourself.

2008 & Askaris

2008-01-01T00:13:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to all askarians and those who read this blog. With 2008 here, I hope that everyone already have their own New Year resolution(s). I won't start talking about my own so to start this year will be the promised changes around this blog. I believe that this blog skin will be changed soon (Joshua is rushing on this one(Rush what?)), I will get about to putting something on this blog to make it have more life and other changes in which I have no idea what they will be. Since I am also taking up the first post of the new year for this blog, I wish to start this pledge which is to keep this blog alive for all askarians and related. Join this pledge by tagging in the Cbox and even better, posting. With that, I wrap up this post. Happy New Year to all once more.

It's like the eve of New Years' Eve...
How many of you are thinking about doing 2008 resolutions?
For me, I am going to do mine tomorrow.

2007 and 2006 has been 2 really great years, cause I have knew Askari.
Askari was born in 2006.
2007 was the year that Askari bonded so much
2007 was also a year where Askari took our O levels
2007 was also a year where we graduated from Yuying
2007 was also a year where you see Joshua cry so badly * lol*
2007 was also a year where Askari realised we missed each other so much
2007 was also a year, where Alvin Peh transformed from Physics teacher to Form teacher to Dad, to Alf, to Daddy... Someone who became Askaris' pillar of strength.

How wouls 2008 be?
2008 would be the year some of us go to JC
2008 would be the year some of us go Poly
2008 would NEVER be the year some of us go ITE. * choi choi*
2008 would be the year that would test how much Askari missed each other.
2008 would be the year we have a new addition to the Askari family, Tiffany!
2008 would be the year, which i hope, would be full of reunions!
2008 would be the year, we all step out and enter into a different stage of our lives.

Guys, Felicia and Chiakai asked when there would be a gathering.
I will open my house on NEW YEARS' DAY itself, so Askari who want to gather,can come and chill out yeah? =]
Drinks and everything FREE FLOW. lol.
I sound like a pub.
If my house too inconvenient, let's meet outside for a drink. =]

I have come to a stage, where Askari is on my mind everyday.
I stare at the pictures that flash past my computer slide show.... Thinking about you guys.
Everyone of you are in my mind, everyday.

God, I pray that those who are starting school on the 2nd of Jan, would be able to adapt to their new school.
I pray that they will know how to slot in into the new environment.
Pray that they will succeed in life, just like, all other Askaris', and do well in their A levels =]
Amen

Signing Off,
Joshie

Merry Christmas

2007-12-25T01:56:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all askarians. I know I am a bit late for this already but later beats never. Anyway, I have sent out an e-mail with a christmas animation to everyone on my MSN list. If any askarian didn't get it and want it, they can pm via MSN or wait for a download link in the very near future. With that, I conclude my post.

2007-12-23T22:59:00.001+08:00

the time we had in class was great
the time we had lesson together was fun
the amount of noise contributed by each and everyone of askari was pleasant
the smile on everyones face make my day
the argument with each other was such a wonderful since

and why so. cos its never gonna happen again.
i finally realize the meaning of ' u will not feel regretted until the times come when u lose it'
this is just the feeling that is in me now.
we use to see each other 5 times a week.
we use to talk to each other at least 6 hour a day.
but thats what we use to do.

its time to treasure every moment u spend with ur love once.
and do realize that the world don't stop moving just because u are not there.
live everyday like the last day.. and do thank you when u are able to wake up.
its fate that bring us together as friends.
and its us whether this friendship will last.
nothing is forever. good things always come to an end.
but lets just try to make the timing a little bit longer.
so that we will have more happy moment togther.

2007-12-23T21:00:00.000+08:00

o man.. its such a lonely night... alone .. doing nothing..
thinking the impossible...
thinking about what had happen.
thinking about what will never happen...

xmas eve is tmr..
everyone should already have something installed rite now.
xmas is on the way..
everyone should already found who they are going out with..

thats good..
how happy a thing is that.....

do anyone every felt lonely before??
have any of u feel so sad before???

it feel so good.. but its not true...
it seems to real.. but its just a dream
it realli fill up my heart.. but thats onli for a moment...

It's too late to think back
It's too late to really remininse back on our wonderful times spent together as one class.
It's too late to tell everyone we miss each other...
It's too late to really blame anyone for not spending enough time with each other.
It's even too late to apologize.....

Time to me, is one that proves the durability of friendship.
I am glad, that time, has once again proven that some friends are really out there to help and lend a helping hand, and not take advantage of you.
Askari has been there to help me when I was in need.

I was browsing through the pictures that we took on Grad Day.
I really was crying deep down.
THoughts flashed past my mind..
For I was thinking, Why didn't I treasure that much the times we had together?
Time flew past real quick, and soon it was time to say Goodbye.
I must harp on the fact again, that I am still very much attached to Askari.
Even tho so many of us have lost contact, people like Ice, went back to Thailand, But we still are one class arn't we?

Many things have happened.
I do realise that, people do change.
Distance, has alco caused people to lose contact.
For example, I was close with my bunch of 2 good friends.
We did many things together.
We ate together.
But now after school closed, or rather after O's ended, We don't talk when we see each other?
Instead, we have our own lives? I don't get it
But then again,
Distance, I agree, to a very large extent, is a very scary thing.
It can cause me to lose friends, it can cause me to feel lost
It can even cause me to lose my sanity.

That's all.

父子

2007-12-19T16:02:00.001+08:00

父子

I saw a photo.
It showed a father and his son.
The son is not so young while the father is too old.

In the photo, you can see no generation gap.
Father was enjoying every moment of his time with the son.
Son was enjoying the company of the father.
It was so heavenly.
They don’t have to say much.
For much is transpired without having to say any word.

The contact between two pairs of eye beneath the glasses.
It doesn’t matter that one pair of glass is a statement of fashion while the other pair borne fond memories of the ancient past.

The touch of the skins.
It is a harmony of the young tender fresh with the old wrinkled skin.
One is smooth, free from the signs of aging.
The other is unsightly, bearing scars from the test of time.

The old hand over the young shoulder.
It is a sight worth reminiscing for the entire life.
It takes great courage for the old hand to go around the shoulder.
It takes great courage for the shoulder to readily accept the caress of the old hand.

It is the joy of fatherhood.
It is the best gift a DAD can give to his CHILD.

It is the acceptance of a SON.
It is the best assurance a CHILD can give to his DAD.

I will trade anything for a scene like this
Would you?

Something Interesting From A Book 1

2007-12-13T17:22:00.000+08:00

Hello! Here's an interesting read from a Book ( Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth ) :

"Meaningless!Meaningless!" says the Teacher, "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless!"
What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
Generations come generations go, but the Earth remains forever.
The Sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries but to where he rises...

(Skipping a few lines..)

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there anything of which one can say,"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does this extraction strike you? Is it speaking to you? Don't you find that life is meaningless and boring just like moving in a never ending circle?

"What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun."

For those who are working, don't you feel that it is so meaningless, just like a chasing after the wind? People come and people go, isn't it meaningless? Why do people work so hard, just to die and leave their treasures on the face of the earth?

Isn't it so unsatisfying? Isn't life all too boring?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, let's ask ourselves this simple and important question: What is our purpose here on Earth?

Difficult question eh?

Definitely not here to play computer games, study, work or spend money. First, you can see that these stuffs are made by humans. Second, how can our purpose be something that we created, something that was made before humans were formed? In fact, the purpose of, perhaps the computer, was to help and aid us. Take another example - money. Money was formed by humans for trading purposes. Right now, we can see the co-relation between the time it is was formed and its purpose.

So the crux to answering our purpose in life is to know who formed us and live for that person or be useful to him.

Then, Who formed us?

I'll leave it to you to answer this question.

Well, I am back from NZ.
I have got some pictures to share with you guys yea?
=]

Frankly i have emo stuff to share, but well, let that be another time.
I shall share my trip and my experiences only yea? =]

i kinda won't go by day lah
It's difficult.
But in short, i have some photos and i will further elaborate on it yea?

NZ overall, is very very NATURAL.
What i mean, is that, the people there, let nature control them
Nature moves mountains, glaciers and other stuff around.
They build and adapt according to Nature, not like spore, ALTER the natural landscape. * tsk tsk*

Glaciers are big big humongous mountains made of snow and ice =]
I went to the Fox glacier. which is getting dirtier and dirtier by the day.
Interesting fact abt glaciers is that, they move everyday. Closer and closer to sea level.

Fox Glacier, with me in the foreground

Talking about Ice, when we reached Christchurch, from Auckland, the first stop was this Antarctic Centre.
Scientists from America and Australia work from this place.
There's this COLD ROOM, which imitates strong winds, and storms at the South Pole in Antarctica.
I went in to experience a 5 minute 'storm' and i tell you, i was impressed.
Kinda amazed my N95 and my DSLR camera survived -18 deg c.
Phew!!

The temp

In the igloo like structure... man made tho..

During the 10 days, we traversed mountains, and visited lakes. Peh shall tell you more. He knows the names more than I do...
Names ranging from Lake Wakatipu to Lake Te'ana...
So many lakes.

One of the many snow capped mountains i saw

See the water in this river?
This is the meltdown from the ice on top of the mountains. The water is freezing cold at 10 deg, and it is TOTALLY CLEAN. and sweet.
In spore we pay so much to drink a bottle of spring water, there? i got it free. I refilled the bottle so many times. Just wash ur face from the river...
Use the water there to drink also. It's SWEET.omg.

Lake Wakatipu
Beautiful Cloud cover at 6.20 am in the morning...
the fog... the water vapour... all causes the foggy effect= ]

Also, at the south island, i went for this Jet Boat ride, damn cool.
The silly ang mo drove the boat, like he was Jay chou doing initial D.. seriously, he drifted on water, damn cool. But i was WET ... but the water,was cold... hoo!!

This pic is taken at the most farthest tip of the south island, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The water is so calm.. phew.. loved it !

This waterfall, is simply beautiful.
We were taking a cruise at Milford Sound and that place was beautiful !
The water was so clear....
everything there is natural. The people there, working there, alter to the landscape... they let nature control them.

2nd last day, we took this Tranzscenic ride from Arthur's Pass all the way to Christchurch. Journey was 2 hours. Man, the train station was old and really romantic.... I could stand there with her for hours w/o feeling tired.. omg. OT OT ! back to topic.

Me after the train ride... in Christchurch.

2 years back .. i took a look at the 3A class list, i only say a few of my friends name in there. i was sad.i take a look at the 3b class list too. and i find that 3b is a much better class to be in. but it was already too late.
i look through again to see who else is in the same class. and i say jing kai name in it.( kai.. dont feel sad.. i am going to say something that u change in me) myfeeling get worst. i was thinking at that moment, a gangster in the class??.. with his gang of friends in there too??.. cos i dont know him well.. so i thought that he is those gangster type.i am sad... real sad...

when up to sec 3A.. saw a lot of new faces in the class. and a new teacher standing beside us.. didnt know who was him at first... but later than we know that he is our form teacher of the year. He is weird. a real weird teacher.. one who will talk to himself... or sing aloud with his mp3 player in the ear when the class is having test.. or take a bread out from his treasure pocket, where he also can take our marker and alot of thing..but he teaches us how to love, how to touch lives, how to care for other. and alot of others things that u can never learn from textbook. he wont insist that u finish his chemistry, but he will insist that u finish is CME .. hahaz weird... rite? and its from him.. i learn that my friends around me are actually very good. and jing kai is not that bad as i know. but instead, he is a great person. we became good friend( i guess).

and very soon ,we finish our end of year exam..form teacher are changing school. cos he say that the culture in this school is bad. and he leave us telling us that we have 6 ppl from the class that will retain. we are shock. although we are not that close than.. but we wont want to see any of us retaining.
and very soon. jing kai left me a comment .. and it goes this way

yo jiang ge ! lol . a testi 4 u . casue i next year might nt b in 3a le so last moment 2 tel u something . haha . oso nv write 4 u testi b4 . 1 year le i think b wif u tis guy in the same class is quite a fun thing . lol . laughting everyday . next time we can go b liang jia bian de memeber le .haha . hao le i oso nt 2 write le go play game le . bb .tc .free write testi 4 mi 2 . ty . (:

brother always`06

i am sad when i saw this, and i am very sori for how i think of jing kai when i was in sec two.. so i would like to take this opp to say sori to jing kai...i am realli very sori my brother..

but after we got our result. we actually all get promoted to sec 4A.. we are all happy. but our form teacher are leaving us.. so we are once again sad.

along with the fact that he is leaving, we step into the school in 2007 as a student of sec 4A. and this time the one who take over us was our phys teacher in sec 3. we are happy. cos at least that he is someone whom we are familiar with...
at first only think that he is one normal teacher that we have in school..but we are wrong.. he is a emo being. he is not afraid of showing his emotional side of us.. we call him DAD.. and he treated us like his children..
he is a father of 1.. soon of 2..but a DAD of 38..he is not as weird as our sec 4 form teacher but he is also teacher us to love.. he love us.. and we love him.. he is just like a dad to us..
and we had our wonderful 2007s together.. day after day.. and we had our graduation day.. we took the graduation file from DAD.
we cried together , we laugh together, and we had fun together and we took photo together..
but we still have to say goodbye to all the good things..
always after each o lvl paper. DAD will be outside the hall waiting for us..he sit there and wait to share the joy together.. but soon o lvl is finish.. and now we are all around the world..

just miss all my friends

2007-12-09T22:05:00.000+08:00

its always only until thenight.. than i will start to think of all the happy memories that we had together.today i miss so many ppl.. all my friends.tmr i have to work. but how i hope that i will not have to go to work.. but instead to school to have lesson.. to have phys... chem... engs...... anything... but just have one more time where askari can sit down together as a class.. and as a class.. we study together... towards a common goal...

but now, i think everything is impossible. cos we have some of the askari is having their holiday oversea. and some are going back permanently and will not be coming back...

i am now having a mix feeling.. a mixture of happy, sad, lonely and lost.

hope that everyone out there are doing fine.. everything is smooth going for all of u
takecare everyone..

As anyone here should be able to see, some very minor changes to the area above Cbox. With nothing more to say, for those who have not voted, vote. Btw, why does it seem like every time I post, it prompts someone else to post not too long after that?

alrite.. look at the calender...
today is the 3 nov...
looking back...
some of us ended our o's on the 6th of nov..
some on the 12 of nov..
and we had our bbq on the 13..
look at ur calender.. it is onli 3 weeks away..
but it seems to be so long since i last since my fellow friends.
the world seems to move so slow without askari
time seems to move slower than before when i am alone.
everyday is so boring without askari
and everyone are busy with their own things.
its been long since we last talk on msn.
and it has been long since i last saw my friends..
this feeling is terrible..
some are overseas.
some are working.
some are slacking..
this world is getting boring.
i am tired of living in this world.
after o's.
life seems to have no goal.
i dont know what i am looking forward for.
everything seems to stop moving.
nvm.. i guess this is life..

thank you

2007-11-29T04:16:00.000+08:00

looking at the photo of askari once again..
it bring back all the happy memories we had together..

the amount of fun we had together..
the time where we laugh at each other's funny looking..
the time where we smile at each other..
the time where we have fun disturbing each other..
the time of our happiest moment in life..
the time with askari..

look..
how happy is everyone??
how much fun we have??

but now, that the O's is over..
we don't get to see the smile on the face again..
we don't get to see the rest of our 38 askari everyday..
we don't get to see DAD every morning now..

when will askari come together as a class again??
when will askari have lesson in the same class room again??
when will askari put on the same colour T-shirt again??
I WONDER

i dont know how many of u all have actually miss the time where we had fun together??
but i really miss them alot..
but it is all past now..

really hope that the next gathering will be up soon..
to see how have all the askari have been doing..

takecare
thank you

SILENCE...

HI, this is my first time posting

Its been 15 days since we last saw each other.. Misses occurs, every soul looks forward to the next meeting.. FOUR LEFT, this is when the scary-organism, DISTANCE comes into place. It can be felt.. SO STRONG that it scares all of us. DAD says he is trying to get use to the days when askari are not around, though its hard. But DAD, we want you to know that we will never leave, askari still stays until the day you abandon us. I am wondering how are the other 38 soulmates are doing.. Are they fine, are they enjoying themselves?? ALL THIS is a mystery.. The answer only reveals itself until the day all of us meet.. AND, how long will that take?? Weeks, Months, Years? NO ONE KNOWS..

CONTACT-- An organism that links people together.
It helps us find askaris whereabouts and give us a notice when we will meet again.It cant be destroyed, as when it happens, it will be the day askari says GOODBYE to one another, including DAD..

TO THE ASKARI: NEVER LET SILENT CONVERSATION BE THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE..

Polling

2007-11-29T00:57:00.000+08:00

Effective from this date, 29 November 2007, any askari wishing to conduct a poll that concerns us may PM me on MSN or send me an e-mail. Either method must have the following.

The question - What's a poll without it?
The answers. How many? - No questioning without any answering.
The time allowed to vote - It has to end whether everyone has voted or not.
The purpose behind the poll - The given question may already answer that but it is ensure that the poll is indefinitely askari-related in one way or another.

Please also note that each askari may have only one poll under them at any one time.
I will be going on holiday soon and won't be back for slightly more than a week. If you PM me or e-mail me within this period, I will not respond/put up a poll. Be patient and I will give you a response asap. This polling offer is extended to teachers as well. The one poll each rule still applies unless the teachers set up their own blog to conduct polls. (I don't mind. The more the merrier.)

sometimes when we met with problems,
don't just go whining over it.
stop complaining on how difficult the thing is,
don't keep saying thing like ' i cannot do it'.

do saying all these helps?
is now the time for u to cry over it??.
or its time for u to stand up and look for a solution to solve it?.
think about it.

when u are facing with a problem,
is it something that will stand in your way?
or is it just something that GOD has made it to test u?
is it something that will slow u down in your journeys,
or is it something that will push u forward more?

don't just step back when u are face with problem.
solve the problem and move forward.
look at things in a different ways.
go out there and see how people do things.
pick up the phone and call someone u can trust.
and sometimes... the answer is just there.

STOP COMPLAINING...
and look around u..
there are so many things..
that u should have spend more times on..
treasure them..

time don't stop and wait for u to finish crying..
time will just carry on moving no matters what happen.
so stop wasting your time on complaining and whining..
do what u should do..
do what is meant for u to do..
don't care whether have u done it well or not..
just tell yourself.. u have done your best..

Crying is the best solution....

What has happened to my smily face?
It's gone...
Seriously Askari, I need help.
I am going through alot now.
First, Askari left me....
Now, many things are happening...
So much that, i don't know how to handle all of them.
Someone tell me, Am I a failure?
I'm not trying to atract attn here or something, But, I seriously am going bonkers...
If you guys find me foaming in the mouth, say your last prayers and say bye to me..
I don't know what to do in my life anymore..
I miss those times i could be so happy, prancing around like a monkey...
Now, all i do is to think about stuff which are happening around me everyday, the stuff which is reality, happening to me everyday....
All i can do , is to cry myself to sleep. Cause ... Yeah... It's like this.
Accept the face Joshua, It's meant to be this way.... =[

Therefore, i apologise if the blog is still status quo, someone pls take over the job of making it nicer..
I don't have the confidence to do anything now.
Im a failure...

Night all...

P.s., Distance, is indeed a scary organism.
It has separated me from many people....
Thus, Distance, I HATE YOU !

Distance

2007-11-23T15:43:00.000+08:00

Distance.

It is a scary organism.
It separates friends apart.
It tears family up.
It makes love ones forget their spouses.

It is also a friend in disguise.
It brings together strangers from different nations.
It makes family members realized the importance of each other in their absence.
It makes the heart fonder when our loved ones are away.

Extremely ironical!
I hate the distance that separates, yet I love the distance that brought us closer together.

All 38 children are now distance apart from one another.
Some are physically closer to some than others.

We talked online.
There was no distant between us.
We talked about how life has been to you and me.
We planned for the next gathering.
We gossip about someone who is so close too.
The minute we go offline, distance will bare its ugly claws.

We played basketball together.
There was no distance between us on 23rd Nov 2007 @ 12 pm.
We left the coffee shop after lunch.
Distance starts to manifest itself as we start seeing each other off.

It is an omni-present organism.
It seems to have a life of his own.
It breaths the same air as us.
It lives among the human race.
It is beside you and me.

This is a crazily weird post.
Almost not like the style I am used to be writing.
It is an attempt to write in a different linguistic style.
Or is it an attempt to unmask the emotional side of alf the elf.

Weather

2007-11-22T17:36:00.000+08:00

How is the weather there?
The weather report reads:

SUNNY in THAILAND

SHIVERING COLD in CHINA

MOSTLY CLOUDY in INDONESIA

I wonder how the weather is affecting you on the other side of the globe.

Jiang puts it in a very subtle manner.
Although we are looking at the same moon, is the moon you are seeing over at your side different from the moon I am accustomed to viewing.

Almost everything remains unchanged here.
The weather is still very much the usual sunny afternoon with occasional breeze.
The morning is still broken by the wake up call of my child.
I am still waking up and be served with a sausage, egg and tea for breakfast.The leaves on the trees will sway with the slightest wind.
The leaves continue to breathe out oxygen after taking in carbon dioxide.
Newton is still recognized as the Father of the Newtonian Laws of Motion.
Both the hour and minute hands of the clock continues to rotate in the clockwise direction.
Someone from the office will call me to remind me that work is undone.
Afternoon comes after morning.
Tea is served with the same variety of biscuit in a saucer.
Sun will set in the evening, signaling the home coming of the office workers.
Night falls and the stars are up.
Normalcy is the daily routine.

Pragmatism spells out that life continues.
Emotionalism screams at the fact you are already missing from my life.

Well, are we still very sure we are looking at the same moon?

and lastly this one when yanming is holding her Amaths TYS taking photo with cynthia

but look at now... O's is over...
fuxiao had went back to china..
cynthia had fly off..
ice is back with her family..

time fly..its just a blink of eyes and now we are free from our school work..
but had any of u all miss those days that we had together??.
the fun that we had in class???
the stupid jokes that we crack during lesson time??..
well... i miss them alot...

its onli two weeks when we have finish our O's..
but seriously.. to me.. it seems like a month...
life without a goal is boring...
or should i say that life without askari suks??..

i dont know what to say... just feel like telling anyone who is reading this post that..
i miss all the askari badly...i miss my teachers... i miss our DAD..

how i wish that i can control time... and the first thing i will do is to bring myself back to the time..
when askari is still sitting down in the class.. listening to lesson..
i dont mind going through those lesson once more..
i dont mind taking O's once more..
i dont mind getting scolded by teachers once more..
all i hope is to feel askari once more...

but i think...
thing had come to a situation that nothing can be done to feel it once more..

some ppl may think that i am crazy...
posting in the mid of the nite..
its like 3.45 am now...
but this shows how much i miss my friends..

2007-11-18T00:50:00.000+08:00

alrite all... tonite is spacial nite..
tonite will be a last nite to someone from askari..

WHY???

cos one of our askari will be leaving us back to her real family..
we dont wish to see her go..
but we have no choice..
we onli can wish her all the best in whatever she do..
and remb us..
cos we will remb u .. and we will miss u alot..

the days with u in 4A...
we have alot of laughter..
we have alot of fun..

the day of graduation,
u cried..
when u cry.. it make us feel as thought that its my family member crying..
when u cry... it make me feel like crying too

knowing that u are leaving us back to ur homeland earlier in the year..
at first.. the feeling wasnt that strong..
but as time pass by and reaches the end of year..
when u once again tell us that u are going back for permanent ..
the feeling is different now.. this feeling is like a family member of mine leaving me..
i hate this feeling.. but what can i do??.. they are still ur real family..
we have no rite to stop u...

now that tonite is the last nite u spent here in singapore..
the whole askari here wish u all the best...

in the nite when u feel lonely.. dont be sad..
look up into the sky
look at the moon
and before u know ,
i am looking at the same moon too..
it doesnt matter where we are...
what it matters is that we have askari in our heart..

once again...
to our beloved Pattraporn Borwornudomwong aka ice..
we will miss u alot when u are not here...
u will always be part of askari no matter where u are..
no matter how difficult ur name is spelled...
we will still spell it out big when we talk about askari..

with lots of love...
(when can we see ur smile face to face again??)
jiang...

After the Os

2007-11-17T20:27:00.001+08:00

Hmm... I see no one have been posting.

So allow me to take advantage of this situation to post and inform you all that new polls to continue bugging the Askaris are up. Of course, this means that there is one poll that really of concern to us so do vote. Btw, looks like Joshua ain't going to do what he said he would. (Joshua don't read this!)

Bye for now ^^ Polls that way ------------------------------->

Dad, you have not lost 8 children.
We will never leave you.
Today marks the day, the 8 of them officially do not call you Mr Peh anymore, as they have finished their O's.
Reminiscing the times, I really treasure Askari loads.
Especially those 8, they were the one who made Askari Eden full of laughter.

Yanming, you were the one would laugh, anytime. Spontaneously.. whenever JiaMin, Tingli, or Jiang said something funny, i can hear your laughter, from afar.
Seriously, w/o you, Askari won't be as bubbly yea?
So, enjoy yourself fully now yeah?

Felix, he was the one that would laugh at the lamest jokes. Seriously, he never fails to make me turn round during lessons, to see his face, cringing, and laughing like there's no tomorrow. Seriously Felix, you make me laugh. Haha.. Meow meow
Enjoy your holidays now!

JingKai! Omg. Chao High class Ah beng! Cool man.... Stay cool always! Don't know what to say, but w.o you in 4A, we are not complete =]

Daddy always finds you when ur offline.... See how much he misses ALWAYS_TREASURE?

To the rest of Askari, let's just hold on till next Monday, after which , we would let down all our hair, no matter rebonded, or curly, or rough, or smooth, or cut by HAIRSTYLISTS/BARBER. Just let all down!
Tuesday is the day, where ALL kids of Askari, get tgt, chill and RELAX.

Hope directions quite clear. Phone will be on. Just call me. =]

Yeah. DOn't know what to say le. But, well... i have to go now. My phone's a little screwed. Yeah. So.. TATAS!

I lost 8 today

2007-11-06T16:23:00.000+08:00

I lost 8 today.

The 8 who have made the Family of Askari complete.
The 8 who have made the Askari’s Eden uniquely different from other classrooms.
The 8 who have never gave up in their pursuit for greatness.
The 8 whom I have forsaken in the final lap before the exams.
The 8 whom I wished I had more time to spend with them.
The 8 whom I failed as a DAD.
The 8 who did not bear grudges against DAD for abandoning them.
The 8 who did not doubt the support from the Askari GEN 1.
The 8 who did not disappoint DAD.

I salute the 8.

Now that the 8 are gone,

DAD will mourn at the loss.
DAD will drop tears again.

For DAD knows this departure is for real.

No more do we meet.
No more do we laugh at the lamest joke.
No more do we cry over the most heart-breaking sorrow
No more do we support each other in times of hardship.
No more do we lend our shoulders to each other in times of need.
No more do we gain strength in unity when we don the orange tee.
No more do we shout in one voice and sing in unison.
No more do we breathe in one breath.

I will miss you.
I know I will miss you.
Because as I type,
The faces of these 8 are replaying in my mind.

Slowly and painfully,
The faces are each telling a story.
The faces are the faces of my children.

Again, it makes me want to cry.
Again, it makes departure so saddening.
Again, it haunts me badly.

As the 8 stepped out of the gates today,
Forget all the bad memories you experienced of these 4 yrs.
Because in Askari, you have found the warmth of a family.
In Askari, you have learnt how to receive love.
In Askari, you have learnt how to give love as well.

we smile, but deep inside, we are crying

today is the 31st Oct

yesterday we had completed our E maths paper two....

and that make it a 7 down for the total paper we have taken...

and 8 paper for those taking the comb sci....

later during 8 o'clock....
those who decided retake their MT.. will be taking their paper 1...
i hereby wish them all the best...
and deep down my heart, i know they can do it even without the wishes...

the Os's is approaching the end...
that is the day that we all are looking forward..

the class gathering on the13 Nov...
that is the day that we all are looking forward..

but have any of us notice that..
it means the time Askari is going to have together are counting...
it means that we are leaving DAD real soon...
it means that we will never be able to enter the school as a student of 4A soon...
it means that the good things is really coming to an end soon......

but lets not feel sad....
when good things come to an end, another one is starting..
so lets look at this on the positive sides..
DAD will always be happy when he sees that all his children are happy..

GOOD LUCK TO ALL ASKARIAN ALL THE UPCOMING PAPER U ARE TAKING...

Half-way through Os. Polls again.

2007-10-29T22:22:00.001+08:00

With us already half way through with the Os, we now have a teaser for all Askaris and other members who visits this blog. So go on over to Poll-Center, at that side over there to vote on the new poll. Anyway, had a little freaky accident with the class blog earlier. Around 10:10 to 10:20pm. So if anyone saw anything weird (No, the weird only appeared a preview), it was me. As all can see, blog picture changed again. (Probably the last time too. Joshua is taking over)

the saddest things to do

2007-10-16T23:09:00.000+08:00

today is 16th oct 2007

its me again
today is our graduation day..
4 years back... this is the day which i cant wait for it to come...
4 years down the road, i know alot of friend in yuying..
4 years down the road, i know my current best friends..
4 years later, this is the day which i wish that it never come..

Today, we laugh
we laugh at the photo of our friends taken in the than.
Today, we cried
we cried because we cant bear to leave the friends we have made in this years, especially in 4ASKARI..
Today, we said goodbye
we said goodbye to our Dearest DAD, we said goodbye to our dirty classroom we have been in for 2 years.

although goodbye is the hardest thing to say say at the point of time like this.
but still have to say it, because we have grown up.
we are going to be independent out there from today onwards.

i don't know how many of u will be reading my post.
but i just to say,
i have never regretted coming to yuying. because i get to know my current classmates.
all the askarian.

all good things have to come to an end.
this also shows that some new is going to begin.

and i will like to take this chance to wish pattraporn all the best for ur THAI paper tmr..
work hard and do us proud.. because we dont know whether will we have a chances to sit down to talk again like before after O's..

So i hereby wish all askarian all the best for ur coming O' lvl...
smile^^

2007-10-14T09:57:00.000+08:00

Its 2 and a half days that Askari has left the class.
I wonder how it would be
Tuesday would come soon, too soon. Too soon to make us realise that we have yet to treasure each other.
Goodbye has to come eventually.
It's a matter of how we face it

Yes, i agree Askari has come so far, and we won't want to leave each other.
But, sometimes goodbye is a good thing. So that all of us may venture out, and be more successful in our life.
But, nonetheless, Askari lives in our heart don't we?

To me, personally, i want to thank all Askaris' for their unwavering care and concern they have shown to me.
Times when i was acting lame, you guys made fun.
Times when i was emo, Boss( jiang) would be the first one to be there
Times when i was happy, you would be there to share my joy
Times when i talked too much cars, you guys would shoosh me up..
This is ASKARI for you.

Askari loves each other.
The bond will last forever.

Now, let's do our DAD proud, by doing well for O's, especially Physics.
I personally hope that all of us would get A's and B's, NO C'S. =]

Tuesday is emo day
Askari, lets emo together, after graduation, let's just treasure the times we have with each other, and then, tell ourselves that, Askari DOESN'T die, Askari LIVES, and with DAD, there's ASKARI.
Without DAD, askari falls. DAD is the pillar =]
Whatever DAD does, wherever he is, we support him, as his children =]

See you guys on tuesday. =]

Joshie

goodbye

2007-10-11T20:26:00.000+08:00

today is 11th oct 2007..
we had officially said goodbye to our askari eden...
we had said goodbye for the last time to DAD in the eden...
we had said goodbye for the last time to our teachers in the eden...
we had sang for the last time the national anthem with DAD...

its hard for any of us to say this.... but we still have to....
goodbye askari eden...
and thank you for the wonderful time u have let us spend in u...

but its an indication for us that its time to show the rest whats askari made of...
its time for use to do DAD and the rest of our teacher proud by showing them out O's result...

its our one and only time to show them this... so ASKARI... DO UR BEST...

Close Up

2007-10-05T22:41:00.000+08:00

Ok. We are already at the last lap by now. (For those who ain't, you are pretty much finished already, as in goner.) With merely slightly more(or less) than 2 weeks left till the Os, I just hope that none of us are too stressed up. (Joke. We are not stressed. We have loosen up a bit too much.) In any sense, I wish luck(or the will/ability/whatever you need as study aid/nothingness to study) for our whole class for the examinations, especially to those who have 4 examinations on 1 day.

Look, Joshua was here. I mean he posted.

???

2007-10-04T21:59:00.000+08:00

HAPPY????
SAD?????
SCARED???

I WONDER........

O's is approaching...
we should be scared now...
we should be nervous now...
we should be busy preparing for our last lap now...

O's is approaching...
we should be happy...
finally we are able to take a long break...
finally we are going to leave the school...
and finally we can do what ever we want...

O's is approaching...
we should be sad...
we are leaving dad...
we are leaving the rest of the askari...
we are leaving the place where we have start off...

Although O's is coming... and we shall have put all our effort into our study now... but we can't help it but to face the fact that we are leaving dad alone in the school... we are leaving the place where we have fun and joy... the place where we fought over small little things...

Although we are going our own way when the time for the last paper stop.. but what Arron says is true" although askari is going to be physically disband after O's, but askari will always stay in out heart...''

So DAD... don't worry ... we are not leaving u alone.. we will always stay together as one in our soul...

So fellow askari.. lets now treasure our time together... cause we wont know when we will have this time again...

2007-09-26T13:19:00.000+08:00

As im sitting in front of my computer, blowing my pathetic nose,
i cant help but reminisce about the times Askari had together.

Its already 26th sept and we are just 1 month and about 20 days left to the end of our O's.
By the 13th Nov, i guess all of us, would just be like going, YAY! O'S HAVE ENDED. RUN OUT OF SCHOOL. that kind of thing

But how many of us actually realise that we are leaving our Askari's Den for good, we are leaving DAD behind for good?
He would forever be our one and only form teacher, brother, friend, advisor, emo-er and best CME teacher... How many of us would actually remember ?

For me, even though i want O's to end ASAP, but, i would NOT want to leave DAD. Why? cause we have all grown so close to him, that if we leave him so suddenly, its gonna hit him badly. How close are we to him?
For me. Graduation day would be emo, im not going to lie about that.. I know, for Alf, its gonna be emo too.
We are all attached to our class. One Askari, one for all, all for one.
Though we are all made up of different people, in the den, we are ONE.

So.. lets treasure our friendship... Maintain the friendship, stay connected. When O's end, im going to find out how i can turn this site, into a more interactive and active place. Where all askari's can come here, and find out about each others' lives.
Yeah.
I promise, i would gather some ppl , and organise a class gathering after the O's, of course, inviting our star , ALF.

Okays tatas... im gonna blow my nose again, and do physics.

=)

Bye for now Askari.

O levels Timetable & 3 weeks

2007-09-21T19:37:00.000+08:00

As visitors of this blog can already see, the homework section has been changed into the O levels timetable. Of course, while it means our class is offically disbanded after the 3 weeks of O level examinations, we can expect one last gathering at next year's results release. It is needless for me to decode the list or anything thing about it but in case of those who really cannot understand, here is a short decode list.

For the really "sotongs", the list is over there -------------------------------->

C.H (XXX) = Combined Humanities (Geog = Geography, Hist = History, SS = Social Studies)
Comb.Sci = Combined Science (Chemistry & Physics)
Chem = Pure Chemistry / Chemistry (SPA)
Phy = Pure Physics / Physics (SPA)
E.Maths = Mathematics
A.Maths = Additional Mathematics
CLB = Chinese B

If you haven't noticed yet, the list can be scrolled up and down and can also be highlighted to be copied. (To copy, highlight desired portion and press Ctrl C. To paste, make a new Notepad/Wordpad/Whatever program you use and press Ctrl V in it.)

Polls, Polls & Yet More Polls

2007-09-05T12:50:00.000+08:00

And with us all in the middle of the September break, it is time for a little questioning by polls off www.poll-center.blogspot.com. There are two polls going on there right now, one about how we are studying and another about this blog's picture. So if you are free (Obviously you are if you are reading this post), go right ahead and hop over to give your vote. In other news, the assignments poll will now be scrapped and replace with something we are more familiar with. The O levels timetable. It should be updated by the end of this break so keep an eye out if you have misplaced(lost) your copy of the timetable.

Sneak Preview

all u need is to ask.

ask and you should receive.

the orange army marches on.

Askari is now a brand name,

Askari Eden is now our home.

Never has the spirit of bonding pulls us this close together.

Never have i felt your warmth so near me.

The day we took our class photos is ...

The day when we put all our differences aside.

The day when i am called Askari.

The day when my brothers and sisters are with me.

The day when i had never felt it might have been pOssIble.

DAD was there today (part 1)

2007-08-13T23:59:00.000+08:00

DAD was there today.

He cant change the results,
He cant perform miracles,
He cant lighten the mood in the hall today.

DAD was there.
It was all that matters to HIM and the ASKARIS

Please check the blitztutor for my comments.

General tips:
Reading
- Slow down - it helps to make your pronunciation clearer and allows you to sound more epxressive. If you read too fast, the marks for all 3 areas will be reduced.
- Watch pronunciation of word endings - eg "children" not "chilren" or "chilrens", past tense - be clearer
- Your tone should not always be going up: Normally goes up for questions. Otherwise maintain or go down. Practice practice practice and listen to yourself

Picture Discussion
- What is the overall? - activity, event, place
- is it a candid/posed
- Feelings/Thoughts of people - vary - happy/sad/angry with other words - look at your vocabulary enrichment booklet for egs of other words
- Explain why or give reasons for your description
- describe one or two characters in detail
- the photographer's intention for taking photo is possibly to....eg highlight the plight of the elderly?
- what was possibly happening before pic was taken/likely to happen after pic is taken
- remember to guide examiner - foreground, background, main/central focus of pic is on...?

Conversation:
- it most likely is related to pic given or reading passage - try to think about the topic before u are called up
- stay focused on topic given
- talk about it on different levels - universal problem? national problem? family? individual level? personal experience is important.
- Even if you don't have any experience - don't just say I don't know - try to related someone else's experience
- justify what you say - don't make sweeping remarks
- you can ask the examiner to repeat or rephrase the question,but try to avoid if possible.

Practice using the 2006 papers i passed u.

Above all this, try to remain calm and confident,
Mrs Ravi

National Day 1 & New Picture

2007-07-20T18:26:00.000+08:00

Ok guys. New picture is ready for the top of this blog!!! But you will probably only see it when Joshua post it up so wait for it. Aside this, National Day is slowly approaching and it will be held at Marina this year for those who have the tickets to go and watch. It is evident that more than half of the class will be watching it from home anyway. And as the National Day celebrations approaches, so does the O's... 84 days left... Let's all keep up the stamina to run!

Posted By : Hean Jin

2007-07-13T23:29:00.000+08:00

Okay.
As suggested by Jin,
The pic of the NYP has been changed to the Askari design.
BUT.. its too small.
Nothing can be done.. If i enlarge it, it would be very pixelated..
So guys.. bear with this..

UNLESS...
WHO wants the class pic ? the one took during DAD'S birthday?

Vote?

DPA & Triple Series Post

2007-07-11T23:37:00.000+08:00

For the information of the 4askaris who don't know that you can now apply for DPA (Poly Interested People Only) , you will have to write (And than type) a 600 words essay on why you choose that course and so on and so forth. So for those applying, prepare what you want to say (type) about why you want that course in that poly. The DPA application only last from 11th (The day this was posted) till the 16th of July 2007. This is only for people who wants to go to a poly. JCs are over. You missed it or got it is now unchangable.

Hazy Issues

2007-07-05T21:02:00.000+08:00

There is a saying that goes like this, as time goes along and you stop doing something, you will eventually forget and ignore it. This close to doing so to this blog. Therefore, work it up guys! Tag, post and suggest ways to improve the blog. On another note, the hazy is kicking in to our Singapore atmosphere and so everyone is advised to take lots of water to prevent falling prey to the heat and dryness of the air.

PS : Need guys to help me update homework portion. Interested parties may inform me in class or by tagging on the Cbox.

Blog Music

2007-07-01T22:28:00.000+08:00

Think about blog improvement. Does anyone want music on this class blog? Other improvements can also be suggested. Just post on the Cbox to be heard or talk about it in class.
Also, we might want to start planning for the 31st of July for those who know. For those who don't, ask around the class.

Askaris!!!!!!

School is starting tomorrow!!

JiaYou!

Hope you guys have finished your work and be nice to our teachers!

I promise i would be a nicer moderator of this blog...
I would partner with Jin and make our blog HAPPENING!
And i would make sure.... All of you get the password and user, and lets make it a daily affair to post !!!
I will find a even more colourful skin... black seems too..... DARK eh ?

Im back with lotsa happy emotions!
Church camp has released me from my barrier from being the cheerful Joshua few months ago....
Many things have been happening ...
THAT happening.. that... i began to doubt some people... But
God has released me and im now back in full swing.. ready to counter O levels and the challenges ahead!!!

Askaris!!
Lets do well for O levels and rock Yuying for being the slackest class, Yet we can deliver the results and prove we are really people who REDEFINE STEREOTYPES! =))

My personal goal for the rest of the year is also to get to know other people better... People like Jeremy, hafiz... the others.. who im not that close to....

I want Askaris to be so GLUE-IFIED that.... when O's end and we leave each other... we will be so emotion-ified.. that we will tear when we walk away from each other... But dont worry !

WE ARE WARRIORS! WARRIORS THAT WOULD CONQUER O LEVELS AND THE STUPID REMARKS MADE ABOUT US !! =)

WE CAN DO IT !! YEAH !!!

Josh...

You're my hiding place...

She was the eyes that zoom in on the tiniest mistakes I made
She was the eyes that taught me how to discern good from evil

She was the ear that listens to the complaints my teachers have for me
She was the ear that listens to my sorrows when the whole world seems bleak

She is the nose that smells me out from miles away when I am up to my mischief
She is the nose that sniffs out potential troubles that are waiting to devour me

She was the mouth that lectures me non stop for the little trivial sins I commit
She was the mouth that pours out reassuring words when I am uncertain of the world

She was the hand that punishes me when I was not being good
She was the hand that comforts my wounds when I was hurt

She did all these just for the sake of wanting the best for me
She did all these without looking for any rewards in return
She did all these to make sure I was ready for the world when the time comes
She did all these because she loves me

She is my MOTHER
