harlo everybuttie

Ever since Facebook caught fire back in 2007, this blog has been quite dead. I still remember being invited by one of you guys to Facebook, disinterestedly poking around the settings, and then leaving it to rot, before realising that everyone else was using it.

And just look at today.

Facebook has made this blog obsolete. But there is still a use for this blog yet.

We find many things on the Internets today that are truly worth sharing with others, and we share them on Facebook in the form of links. However, unless one bothers to check the links section everyday, those enlightening tidbits of information are often washed away and pushed down into oblivion by some random status updates and some unglam photos.

So, this blog gets a new lease of life as a place to share stuff on the net that we think is worth sharing. On Facebook I don't know if the stuff I share is permanent. But at least on good old Blogger, where the rather gay entry 5 years back is still there for us to see, I can be sure that they'll remain there 5 years later.

So to start off, for those folks considering a new phone:

*knock knock*

Hello. How is everybody?

The number of posts per year (as reflected under 'blog archive') has dropped exponentially over the years, with 2009 hitting the lowest possible positive integer of 1.

And then I got reminded that I was the one who set this up *feels proud* (people can refer to my rather gay entry posted way back on Friday, May 27, 2005), so I thought I should try not to let the number fall to zero.

I did a quick browse through our old entries, and they had brought back many good memories. A little sad that the blog is no longer as active as the yesteryears, but I guess everyone has already moved on. Its a natural process I'm sure, so now this blog (and EJ's class fotopic) has taken on a new role: time capsule.

While the virtual 05S44 world (aka here) has effectively died and this resembles an abandoned underground dungeon with the occasional soul floating around, well at least in the real world, 05S44 is still pretty much alive.

1) Last semester there was the (almost) weekly 'class' lunches on Thursdays which included me, gct, ej, jotm, zc, jh, mn.

2) The four of us living in Tampines still meet up relatively frequently for dinner and/or movie.

3) EJ is in the same NS battalion as me so we met (and chatted, and shared cab) for ICT :( too.

4) Trip to JB, although it ended up more like a Tampines outing lol.

I guess the others are still meeting up in their own various organized outings? Care to share and update? I'm not quite the type who goes around asking how everyone is, but that doesn't mean I don't care. I do bump into the random S44 classmate in school, but usually there's no time to say anything more than 'hi' and 'bye'.

As for me, the past academic year has been ok, although I have a little CAP chasing to do this coming academic year. However I am a little unsure about my future, so I guess that makes CAP chasing a little difficult. Hope I can get things sorted out soon. :)

A certain classmate is doing pretty well though. He does a DDP in Mathematics and Computer Science, is in the dean's list for his Computing grades (people can see his handsome face on the wall walking though COM1 Level 2 towards Business canteen) and is going to be a tutor this coming sem!

New semester is starting soon, hope we can meet up for lunch again. Busy is not quite a reason not to eat lunch with us.

EOY Chalet

This blog is seriously dead....

Anyway, haven't had a decent class outing in months! It's either too little people come or the whole thing just collapses on itself because nobody can come. haizz

I'm seriously thinking of organising (more like just booking the chalet and then shoving the rest of the work to you guys) a class chalet at the end of the year or the start of next year. And by class I hope to see (almost) the whole class like the class chalet we had at the start of this year (remember cycling to Changi Village and seeing trannys by the roadside?)

The chalet will probably be held on either a weekend on the last week of 2008 (i.e. between Xmas and New Year) or on the first week of 2009, because the girls have term break during this period and most of the guys will have ORDed by then.

The location will most probably be Aranda Country Club, however if the cost is prohibitive then I guess we need to trouble Jiejun again to book a chalet at Aloha Loyang.

I'm just asking around for a rough idea of how many people can make it then. If the response is good then I will book it and then let you guys know the date. So if you see this post then either let me know whether you can make it at the end of this year or not, preferably quite soon since it is best to book early to avoid disappointment.

Its the month of May...

Happy Birthday to..


Nigel, Jie Jun and Wei Hong!!

Pardon the cake, it was done by girls which explains the OVERWHELMING PINK. They are practicing to make it for their future / current boyfriends. :D Anyway You guys have reached the big 2! Wish you guys all the best for what you're gonna set out to do.. Things won't be as simple as following instructions for Mr. Gi and Co. anymore... Everything will be on your own onus, nobody will force you to go for healthy lifestyle anymore (lest the army), but there'll be so much more opportunities for you to do whatever you want. So have fun and enjoy this exciting time you have ahead of you!

Anyway, a big Thank you to those who made an effort to come down for last sat's potluck despite your busy schedule. Kudos to those who brought the great food.. Like Min Ning and Mark who brought roast chicken and durian, and Angela who came to bake the PINK birthday cake.. haha. Well, in Shu Yu's 3 word phrase, it was "DE-LI-CIOUS!" :p


Well here are some pics for you guys who missed the outing.. Its a pity you couldn't be here, but nvm, you can join next time.. Esp the pple overseas.. We definitely will have to have a gathering when you're back!.



The Bakerss of the Ultra pink cake -

Those at the gathering - there were a good 10 pple.

Yes, Wesley was here.. at long last.

Ok. For more pics, please go to wilbur.fotopic.net. :p

Other than a class gathering / birthday celebration, that day was also a farewell party for Yan Ho, who is going to Australia to continue his pilot training! The road ahead is not gonna be easy for him, as the training will be tough and stringent. So lets wish him all the best for this important last (if i'm not wrong) stretch of training!

Some of us went to see him off this morning..



His family was very sad that he's leaving..


Except his playful brother, who is JUST LIKE HIM. haha.. Doodling on his back while he's hugging his mum.


Yup. All the best Yan Ho!!

Well, in 15 years time,
Mohan will design a plane, Jenn Haur will buy it, Yan Ho will fly it; and we can have a class outing around the world! Hahaa. Work hard guys!
