Block C's Night Cycling!!!

Hey peeps, finally i can confirm a date, that is
14th December, about 9PM

Come join us for a fun cycling, not siong, alot of food and talk cock with all of us!!

There's 2 possibilities of that'll be happening, either start from
a) East Coast Park end East Coast
b) Sheares Hall end East Coast,

That depends on the deal i can come up with, and whether i can get helpers nots. So do let me know ur preference =)

If start from east coast,
east coast park--> Old Airport Road Market( stop+eat)-->Merlion(stop and see)--> Lau Pa Sat(stop+eat)-->Ride thru Orchard Road --> Newton Circus(stop+eat)(turn back) --> ( ride thru any route that's chio) --> geylang(stop+eat)(if still hungry) --> East Coast Park( Sun Rise can be caught at Fort Road strech if lucky, if lazy, ride straight back)

if start from hall( will need lorry or more expensive bike rental)
Sheares Hall--> Serene Centre( eat ice cream) --> Newton Circus(stop and eat) -->Ride thru Orchard Road --> Lau Pa Sat(stop and eat) -->merlion, esplanade, promenade, kallang river side-->geylang(stop+eat, if still hungry) --> East Coast Park( Sun Rise can be caught at Fort Road strech if lucky, if lazy, ride straight back)

Then.. some form of transport back to hall....
sleep...
then wake up going dinner together, or bbq!

I'm trying for the 2nd one, but i'll need helpers( on a lorry and the driver perhaps)
Cost wise.. ECP to ECP, a bike should cost at most 7 bucks. If we are starting from Sheares, we can see if we wanna get a lorry. A lorry to bring the bike from ECP to sheares and us from ECP to sheares. That'll cost abt 5 bucks more per person, but shiok =)

So do give me your names!! reply to this blog, or let me know, or joyce know =)
Sure steady(if not, full refund guaranteed)
Single bike preferred. Tandem if u are not so zai =).

C4 vs The Rest

For the year 1s who have never heard about this, there is an unofficial block c event which happens once every semester. As the title of the post says, its called C4 versus the rest of Block C.

What is this anyway? Legend has it that the level 4 of Block C houses the most talented soccer players Block C has to offer. Therefore every sem, they challenge the rest of the block to come pit their skills against them.

However, this sem things seem abit different. Level 4's old soccer players (Darius, Jason) have left their former level in view of more lucrative deals, Sheares Hall's own IHG soccer captain (Remy) stays on level 6 and even the level 4 senior soccer players (CK, Lenny, Ben, Edwin and others...) seem too engrossed in their exams that the flab has caught up with them...

Can the level 4 year1's (Qing Wei, Tian Loong, all the Year 1s!) rally their level seniors and go against the odds firmly stacked upon them? Show the whole of Block C who really are the champions of soccer? Ladies and Gentleman, this is more exciting then ur England vs Croatia European Qualifying match. The prize is more fabulous than Euro qualification.

Thats right folks. You dont get to do this everyday. Winners get to perform the above ritual to the person in blue. So why not come and have a good game of soccer after the grueling exams and enjoy some ponding fun? All C-Towners are welcome to join this event! Girls are encouraged to participate or to come enjoy the event. Cylysce, Wendy, Kexi or any other soccer wannabe are strongly encouraged to come and show the C4's how soccer is played.

Date of event: To be confirmed. When do you guys end? Think 6th or 7th is a good date? Or earlier?

Venue: MPSH. At night would be good.

Prize: No prize money, but you get to pond Joyce. Isnt that good enough?

Please be ETHICAL

It's 9.45 pm, I went down to collect my clothes in the dryer which were put in at 7.45pm.

To my surprise and horror, this was wat i saw.



Obviously the blue pail in front of the bottom LHS dryer was not mine.

I walked closer and found out that the remaining time was 60 minutes. It meant my clothes were taken out by somebody an hour ago.



Where have all my clothes gone!?!?

I looked around, searched frantically for my missing clothes, and found some of my clothes in the corner near the sink area. After a thorough search, I finally saw my pail and the remaining clothes BEHIND THE WASHING MACHINES!!





I was really frustrated, it's like somebody broke into your house ,threw ur things all around, made ur house a mess, and u lost ur valuables. Until now i still couldnt find 1 of my laundry bags.

The only person that came to my mind was the stupid fellow who left the door of the dryer open and set the time to 140 minutes when i used the dryer. Of coz the dryer was not running tat time since the door was not closed. Since it's not running, any normal person would assume that watever inside could be taken out. So it's not my fault of taking out the clothes inside and put in my own clothes. Dear C-towners, pls be honest. If u were me, would u do the same thing?

It's still bearable if u turned the timing from 60 to 0 and took out my clothes and put in your clothes. But why did you throw my clothes everywhere!? U could just put everything into my pail. I dun see why there is a need for u to dump my pail and clothes behind the washing machine. It's totally unreasonable and unethical!!

Pls la... u r a student of NUS, a resident of sheares hall block c, pls behave in an educated way.

And any1 who see my laundry bag which contains a pair of short pants pls kindly return it to me. (or joyce)


FROM A VERY FRUSTRATED C-TOWNER

Happy Holidays

Yeaahhh the holidays are coming.. something to look forward to after the wretched exams..

here's something to start the festive mood with

The Day The Glass Broke

It was one of those lazy Mondays. You know there's no school and you should be studying...
Woke up for breakfast at 8.30am but hit the bed again till like 12 noon.

The winds were picking up and the sky was darkening, I was at the corridor asking Junming
how was he settling his lunch when it happened. The loud sound of glass shattering caught everyone's attention. I looked across and just said, "Deja vu sia. Not again."

This wasn't the first time the glass door broke. This was the second. Kenneth opened his door and gave the WTF look. He looked over at me trying to find the answer, but the block auntie appeared from the lift lobby.
"Aiyo, I heard the glass breaking from level 1 lah and rushed up here." She said in a mix of chinese and english. She rushed to get the broom while I grabbed my camera to take photos.
It woke up the whole level I might add. But luckily no one was hurt. The incident was report to the office shortly afterwards.

Apparently, the winds were so strong it slammed the door in and shattered the glass inwards.

Oh well... another day at level 8...

Flashback to June holidays....
This time it was a saturday morning. There was a thunderstorm raging outside. Everyone was sleeping, knowing they don't need to wake up so early compared to the weekdays doing internships and attachments. Again the loud shatter woke everyone up.

I was staying in Darius's room that time. I opened my room to see the damage right in front of my door. My shoes were filled with glass fragments. It really looked like a scene out of a Hollywood set. Like some monster had jumped through the door and smashed the glass.


We didn't have the luxuary of blk auntie to come clean up the mess and had to sweep, pick and brush all the glass fragments up. Even so, some of the fragments were so small I had to brush all my slippers and shoes with a used toothbrush to make sure all were gone. When Monday came, I heard the whole office came to view the damage. A few weeks later, the guys came to replace the door.
Oh well, one of the perks (or not) of staying near the rooftop.

The night is still young

Ever wonder wad C-Towners do at 4am in the morning? Think everyone is fast aslp? Think again!Our friendly Vietnamese friends studying hard at the comm hall. Peace and quiet, the two guys have it all.
Wads this! Playing floorball at 4am! Here u have it, crazy things our fellow residents do just to stay sane during this tough period. Enjoy the study break =)

Your girl needs to use the toilet

This week on level 3!

All of u knows that level 3 encountered peeping toms before and so, the current level 3 girls are all very vigilant and careful, especially with appearances of anonymous characters.
Who goes to the toilet, goes how many times a day, who uses the toilet with who, time and reasons for using the toilet are daily recorded. Despite taking such precautions, level 3 girls never belittle what peeping toms may do, especially during exam period. Hence, the girls got even more concerned with guys appearances.

But guess wad! This week, we had 3 anonymous GIRLS instead! On 3 different days, they walked past level 3’s extra-wing to use the toilet! The girls were believed to be unrelated. But their partners are.
2 girls had short hair, while the other had an 8.4cm ponytail. All three looked approximately 156.3cm tall. None of them look familiar, none of them are wearing c-towner shirt. On the scenarios where the girls walked out of the toilet, apparently we had the 2 short hair girls walking towards the lift (may be their guys are from a higher level? hmm.) While the other walked past the long-wing and went up/down.

Well, due to the failure of my agents and myself from snapping any photos, or following behind the girls, i have meagre details about them.
Probably the level 2/4/6/8 guys can feed us more information about it. Anyway, the girls are welcome to use our toilet. We don’t mind saying hi to them too! =)

Predators on the Prowl.

title is self explanatory! :D

why was shaun sitting at the railing of KR E Block?


and why was Potato on level 3.. (again?)

Juniors vs Seniors

Over the past few days, many scandals have hit our beloved diary. But of course the month November marks the period of intense studying in preparations for the gruelling exams. As usual, the lazy vice-blk head decides to take a break from studying and go see how his fellow blk mates are doing. Lets pay tribute to the hardworking C-Towners in the pictures and the many others who regularly study in the library.

In the picture above: Edwin, Dominic, Teck Chew, Weyling (Teck Chew's gf), Jun Ming (that orange dot); and below: Joanna and Daniel.

A common sight in the Sheares library, where our dear C-Towners mug doubly hard for their exams. It did occur to me that these were mainly seniors. I then asked the obvious, where were our juniors?

Right outside the library, shouts of laughter could be heard in this stressful time.

Ah... Our beloved juniors, young, carefree and youthful. Don't we all wish we could go back to that time in Year 1? Even now, that thought never fails to leave my mind "If only I had studied harder in Year 1, my CAP wouldn't be so cui now..."

To all C-Towners, Happy mugging and all the best for your exams.

Scandalous November CenterFold - The power of facebook

Just like any other night, a group of C-Towners were having supper in the comm hall. Suddenly a concerned friend asked Mr X...



A concerned friend : 'Hey, ur facebook status changed arr?'

Mr X : 'Huh?' (a very stunned look on his face)

A concerned friend : 'Its no longer single.'

Mr X: 'Really? No la, i never change.'

A concerned friend : 'Really meh? We must faster check before Mr X returns to his laptop.'

Concerned friend 2 : 'But then can still see the news-feed.'

Mr X: '...' (worries appear over his face)



Supper ended, goodbyes were said at 1159pm as the group of concerned friends returned to the library. When they opened their facebook to check, this was wad they saw at 1202am.

Wads changed cannot be undone. We wish Mr X goodluck, hope his status will change for good =)

Scandalous November CenterFold - 5am at business...

"If you want to force yourself to study, you should find a girl to study with. Better if the girl is hardworking." - a fellow C-Towner.
__________________________________________________________________

Ladies and Gentleman, this morning i bring to you not one, not two... but SIX C-Towners who felt that hall wasn't conducive enough for them to study and thus decided to leave for greener pastures ie. business.

First we have a phone conversation between a suspect Mr C. and ur trusty gossip source at 5 am in the morning.

Trusty gossip source : 'Eh, where are u?'
Mr C. : 'I'm studying.'
Trusty gossip source : 'Where?'
Mr C. : '... Business.'
Trusty gossip source : 'Are you alone?'
Mr C. : '... I'm with a friend.' (he shows much hesitation at this point)
Trusty gossip source : 'Is it a guy or a girl?'
Mr C. : 'Why?' (notice the answer he gives)
Trusty gossip source : 'What why? So is it a guy or a girl?'
Mr C. : 'Why?'
Trusty gossip source : '*laughs*'
Mr C. : 'Eh why you call me at 5 am and giggle over the phone?' (still evading the question)
Trusty gossip source : 'Is it such a difficult question to answer?'
(After some thought)
Mr C. : 'Yes it is a difficult question to answer!' (its only one word wad)

Dear C-Towners, you don't have to be a genius to figure out the answer. With the answer being very obvious, we hung up the phone. Later before we could interrogate Mr C., the man himself came to clarify his sneaky behaviour. He defended himself immediately, saying that he had important questions to consult a fellow coursemate and that "this [was] a strictly professional relationship".

Later, we found out he was not the only one having an early morning rendezvous at business. How? In an attempt to shift focus away from himself, Mr C. revealed the identities of 5 other suspects who were 'studying' like him.

They are as follows:
a) Mr A. with a certain KR girl
b) Mr B. with Ms C.
c) Mr D. with Ms E.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide photo evidence this time round. We hope to keep you in touch with further developments. To all C-Towners out there, next time just study in hall =) No matter how far you go, the 'Trusty gossip source' is sure to follow!

Malaysia, Truely Asia.

Hey guys!

Tentatively set on the 10th, 11th and 12th of December. :D We'll most probably be staying over at Yean Ching's and Kane has volunteered (or rather been forced by me) to be our tour guide for the 3 days!

We could go shopping, eating, shopping, eating, slacking, visiting sunway lagoon, eating, playing, shopping, sleeping, playing and yada yada yada..

So please please please come tell me or any one of the block commers if you're interested to go by the end of next week! :D

anyways, 2 more weeks to exams.. jiayou people! :D

Love from char tao,

Scandalous November CenterFold - Miss SH

Gossips and scandal never rest! Not even on Deepavali!

First of all, I introduce a senior returning to Sheares Hall, Hoonie.


Hoonie lives on level 3 and her hobbies include catching cockroaches, as seen on the white board outside her room. Next time got cockroach around, please approach Hoonie for help.

Next up on Scandalous November, deep into the night, when the hungry Shearites and misc others dig into supper at the comm hall, a certain Miss SH tries to sneak into the hall with flowers! She tried to pull off a Peter into block c but I've managed to snap a few shots of this phantoming Miss SH just for our dear gossipy Towners.

Who is the mysterious Miss SH? Who gave the flowers? Could it be Mr P making his move on his new prey??

Photo Update!

Remember Orientation and Fa Da Lou???

I know it's super late, but I've finally uploaded the photos into the blk C album.

Orientation in Sentosa photos are up in SWOC album.
Fa Da Lou photos and Lvl 8 initiation photos have their own album.

Go check it out!!

Predator on the Prowl

Hmm.. it seems Mr. P is getting a bit out of hand.

First we lost Lady, then Ms. V and Ms. J, there's no knowing who's next!

Before we begin countermeasures, we must understand our target. Mr. P
Let us delve into the etymology. Why did the wise old sprecher name him Mr. P? For several reasons:

5. Most obviously, as Japheth has enlightened us, he is first and foremost a PLAYER.

4. He is also constantly on the PROWL.

3. He is rich in carbohydrates, thats probably why he has so much energy, for he is a PΦt@tΦ

2. Is he a PERVERT? we'll never know

1. Lastly, and most importantly, this is why he was called mr.P in the first place. He is armed and dangerous, he must be feared, he even kicked Arnie's californian arse... he is..





a Predator!!!





and now begs the question, how do you stop a predator?

The only one way hollywood knows possible.

We call on our beloved level rep, to summon all her extra-terrestrial powers, so that we can have a sequel to our most favorite movie...

I'm sorry Mr. P, you left us with no choice

It is time for.....

ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR!!!!!!!


Who's gonna win? (click on poster to enlarge)

I'm rooting for the alien! .. looks more convincing ..

Mr P. The true Player

Since Joyce signal the start of the gossips, I shall add my 2-cents of apple weekly story. All names have been changed to protect the innocent(me), and the not so innocent(the characters involved).

I was taking a nap on a lazy pre-deepavali afternoon when my handphone rang. An anxious Miss V called for help to format her computer.

------------------------- fast forward ---------------------------
---------------------JUICY BITS HERE-------------------------

Barely a minute after I step into Miss V's room, Mr P appeared and sat down on Miss V's chair, displaying all the traits of the player. Cool and calm. 5 minutes into fixing the computer, Miss V's neighbour, Miss J opened her door and saw Mr P in Miss V's room. These are the "as-close-as-possible" extract of the conversation that took place for the next 15 minutes.

Miss J: "Hello Mr P!" (eh, I'm in the room too! How come no hello me?)
Miss J returned to her room and reappeared in with some biscuits.

Miss J: "Mr P, you want some biscuits? It's STEAM P. It's very nice!" (steam P?!?! thats rather suggestive.. but we'll let it roll for now..)

Miss V: *mumbles something unimportant about not dirtying her room*
Miss J took a bite of the STEAM P biscuits and proclaim,

Miss J: "Mr P, *giggles* you're very tasty" (WTH!! this is outrageous!)

Miss V decides to make her move by asking Miss J for some of her wasabi P biscuits. Turning to Mr P,

Miss V: "The wasabi biscuits are damn shiok! Eat already sure STEAM"

I'm amazed at the pure attractive power that Mr P has at his disposal. First it was lady, and now Miss V and Miss J are also into the P fan club! Oh Mr P!

A tribute to the oldest member in block c

Pool Finals highlights

For those who missed it. Watch how Ian lost the final ball to Ronald.



And his comments right after match!

stinky behaviour

I was looking through political weblogs for my project and chanced upon a post that so incensed me, I felt it was my civic duty to share with everyone around me.

Some of you may have come across this news about 2 Caucasians (Brits, if I’m not wrong) who took a trishaw ride from an old man and then evaded payment upon reaching their destination.

If you have not, here is the link to a blog that also provides a video the 2 Caucasians had the gall to film. In fact, whether you have read the news, please check out the website for the video and reader comments.

http://theonlinecitizen.com/2007/11/01/britons-teasing-elderly-singaporean-trishaw-rider/#comment-16908

One guy actually had the heart to condone the behaviour of the 2 men, concurring that $15 was an unreasonable price to pay for a trishaw ride and basically speaking in defense of the 2 perpetrators. Nothing can justify what they did. Their actions were not only dishonest but a trespass on the rights and dignity of another human being. I do not deny that other forms of transportation could have gotten them to their destination without amounting to $15 but they were not forced to take a trishaw. They chose to take a trishaw out of their own free will and had also agreed to the price before the old man took them on board. And may I also add that this is a tourist attraction so they are paying for the gimmick as well.

What really made me blow my top was their insolence in making fun of and laughing at the old trishaw rider, who was already panting in exhaustion from his exertion on the wheels. Have they no heart? I am thoroughly disappointed in the fact that there are people out there who cannot even spare compassion for the elderly.

The comment, I quote, “as a Singaporean, my attention on this piece of news is, why does a trishaw ride cost S$15?”, posted by the previously mentioned reader left me wondering if he has really seen the crux of the matter. Does he have the maturity and sense to recognize that it is the behaviour of the men he should be concerned with?
