I <3 School. REally.
I would, if let’s say she donates generously to the council fund to organize more expensive activities, and pays for event banners. Hey, I’ll even wear a badge with her with make-up on.
With council campaigning coming nearing to an end today, and tomorrow being the make-or-break session, I really think that coming to school one day earlier was justified by all the freebies and stickers and hype I got and felt.
A Kodak moment. A retarded smile. Jie Yang loves school for now.
And of course, I love the fact that I was an F1 car for a day, with lots of stickers on me, including one day says “Jie Yang is MILKed.” Of course, I could not drink milk or milo cause of the recuperation period and stringent diet of Chickenpox, but I am damn amazed by the deep pockets of all running teams.
Oh well, let’s just say I’m NUTS about the council campaigning going all around, and can no long BEES further amazed. Haha.
I’m really high now, by the way.
Going to school allows us to delve within knowledge we never know and discover on our own, knowlede that are within our friends surrounding us.
We can use this knowledge to make our lives simpler and happier with this knowledge.
No, I’m not a MOE spokesman, I am just testing your inference skills.
QnA session tomorrow. I shall indulge in the pained expressions of candidates when I wake up next morning.
freshlyBAKED:
and HIV: Be infected!
Wish all groups good luck tomorrow!
My crush… revealed.
Yes. I am serious. She makes me…
MAKI! Hahaha, the girl in the middle of this photo is her. Super CUTE RIGHT!
I know I got you all fooled. Don’t need to give the -.- face at the screen.
Bees!
I gotta admit, Bees are good are marketing themselves. Love their promotional video.
Darren, I will vote for you if you continue being such a retard (:
And my justification for the usage of SMS everyday, is finally documented by an organization called 160 characters. SMS can apparently help make relationships closer. Read about it here. I say, it makes me a loss of words when I meet the person face-to-face instead.
Text buddies indeed.
Nice?
MY VERY FIRST ORIGINAL DESIGNS~!
My first attempts at creating purely original logos using solid colours and shapes, in submission for IBN’s logo design competition. I want that PSP, and the recognition that comes with it. So of course, designing the logo is not the sole criteria, it must come with descriptions… Thank God time was on my side, and crapping is natural to Hwa Chong guys.
The first design incorporates smooth curves with straight lines for accentuation; the smooth curves representing the flexibility and creativity of the human mind, and the adaptability of youth when faced with problems, as often encountered during the research process. The straight lines directing to one point, reflects the unique and wide perspective that the programme hopes to instill in the future leaders of tomorrow, as well as broaden their aspirations. The modern font further highlights that YRP is about exposing young people to the wonders of scientific discoveries through state-of-the art technology.
This design places emphasis on using clean and smooth curves to reflect the cognitive fluidity of the young minds to YRP seeks to cultivate, and by arriving at original and creative thoughts, use science to address problems of tomorrow. The white on blue ellipses reflects the idea of young people immersing themselves in the research culture, and under the guidance provided, make new discoveries. The circular shape further signifies a never-ending learning journey and the blue color of the logo, for youthful energy.
This design features the vibrancy of the research culture set by the programme, one that youths can immerse in and have a fun, exciting and highly enriching learning journey. The three identical curved shapes that form the letters are to show growth towards excellence and the pinnacle of success by youths, and the drive to excel at the frontiers of different fields of science. The blue color represents youthful energy, red for life and vitality, green for learning and growth, and orange to signify enthusiasm and creativity.
I am amazed at myself sometimes.
Of course, I also did another more poster-ish graphic in my free time. PURELY ORIGINAL OKAY. Seriously. I think this was created out of my pure luck. I didn’t mean to snap those photos that consitutes of this design.
Click on it to check it out in full size! It’s meant to be a powerpoint background.
Oh, and it’s 4 more days to school! Oh yeah~! Please don’t forget you have a classmate named Jie Yang, s79…
Life’s a bitch.
Jie Yang has been caught red-handed MUGGING?! Oh my god, you had better catch sight of this unusual phenomenon, cos he never mugs at school. Unless there’s a test. And in this photo… It was biology test.
Okay, not to fear, I got a paltry 12.5 out of 40 for that test, heard that dear friend Khangwen got 28. It is obviously, going to be around that standard for the rest of the two years for him, and I swear, I am going to try to catch up.
Which means less playtime when it comes to Biology.
I tell you, when I return to school on April Fool’s Day, I’ll be a joke, and I’ll also suffer from schizophrenia. The people living with me think my habits, albeit good or bad, are killing them, and I tell you without a doubt, they are pissing me off super badly too.
Within 10 minutes of sitting down at my desk, I get like 5 stares from the back (at least that’s how it feels like), or my dad, mum and eldest brother will walk to and fro the door of my room a few times to make sure I’m doing my work, or watching my Ipod. Or sms-ing.
Privacy? Huh? What’s that? A food? A technological advance?
It’s non-existent, really, my desk is placed at the door of my room, and the computer which I’m typing at now is in the middle of the living room. I’m 17, and I’m trained in how to maximize my range of sight without turning my eyeballs.
And my caring family tell me it’s to make sure that I toe to the line (that’s the summarized version, for more, please pop by my house to hear nagging/scolding).
Oh great, now, I’m getting threatened to get locked out of the com because I used it 1 hour in the morning, 2 hours in the afternoon and 1 hour now.
Cool. See you.
iRun. iLead. iServe?

Ok, that’s just some lame conversation that Guo Dan has with me, kinda amusing. Anyway, today is the first day of council elections. In case you haven’t recognise the parties of Apollo (sorry guys, I am supposed to be Apollo-centric, other faculties, perhaps tomorrow.), Jie Yang shall help with the introduction.
Ok, they’re from the lovely class of 73. They will probably get about 26 votes too. Meet Chou, Daryl, George, and Bey Shimin (the alien).
The cool peeps from 77. (They’re from the next bench, can’t afford to offend.) The question we are all thinking is, can Darren make it through the elections without dislocating his knee?
Anthea, you’ve seen her at Huang Cheng as the emcee. Hmmmm my classmate, so best to keep my mouth sealed. The other candidate, well, Lin Peirong, dunno her.
Hot favourites, the way I see it. Wei Sheng and Martin, well, they aren’t small time figures right? And teaming up with my CT rep. It’s like old class chairman and new class rep. What in the world. (Sorry, dunno who’s Terri too, but she’s from 77 too.)
My personal favourite. No, they’re not your typical HP elite. They’re the meet-and-chat-in-the-morning-kind of people. And as much as my brain tells me I don’t want Alfred to smile at the whole Apollo like an idiot if he makes it to some position in council, I say, I very much him over Chou Zijie. Oops. No offence. And Dominic, yeah, I’m definitely voting for you (:
I wouldn’t mind Howard or Jeremy in council too, you know. Or Qihan for that matter. But well, let’s just say my vote goes to NUTS, to MILK, then the seemingly only ONE left.
UV? I think it’s supposed to be catchy, but now all I can think of is that they have well, a severe lack of ideas that happen to have good spelling in it. Hmmm every year the candidates at elections during high school tell us they would make our voices heard you know? But soon it becomes the School’s voice to us. Well, I suppose SV isn’t a very catchy name, then again.
Of course, there are two more small-time players running independently, but then again, I don’t even know them, so what’s the chances of others knowing too?
That’s all for this Council Elections post, I will show you my personal favourites from other faculties in the next…
First photo-editing job.
I wanted to put this up last night, but there were some problems with the internet and all, so yeah. Basically some basic photo-editing I did, after discovering the magical tool called Sponge. Yeah, if you don’t know what Sponge is, let me, the original noob, illustrate.
Yeah, ok this picture first. The backgrounds were sponged (with Desaturate settings), meaning that well, the colours fade, and become less vibrant by loads. The text and gradient effect were just added in for fun. That’s really my second brother, by the way, at his Passing Out Parade (POP).
And of course, the brilliant photographer, who is obviously not me, made my parents look like they haven’t seen sunlight for years, and look so pale. So obviously…
…I edited them too. I know it looks a bit unnatural, but hey, I just learnt how to use it. I’ll learn how to control too, soon.
At least they have a bit of colour in their faces now.
Anyway, now that’s I’ve got loads of time on my side, I am gonna learn all the basics in Photoshop, and hopefully win the logo design competition with my shape drawing skills.
That’s all for now (:
Tattoo industry releases new kind of ink, Calamine lotion.
Everyone, bringing you latest information from the frontier of Hell, is your daily correspondent, Lee Jie Yang. The latest torture techniques employed against him, in a bid to quell the welts and boils then multiply like a bunch of horny teenagers, are now revealed…
The ultimate combination of Pearl Powder and Calamine Lotion. I censored my eyes and mouth to not show the utter misery expressed on my face.
And of course, the newest kind of tattoo ink, used by modern Aborigines, Calamine Lotion. Washable, and also reapply-able, just need to have the needed talents to tattoo yourself.
It’s stinging when burst, and irritating when wholesome. What an irony.
Water Potential and Chickenpox.
Really, I still remember seeing Tzin’s face and thinking, oh my god, the horrors of chickenpox. Right now my right cheek is like a nice mosiac. I don’t how else to describe it, really, to make myself less depressed. My brother does a good job of reminding me that I look like an Aboriginal everytime my mum applies calamine + pearl powder on my face and body.
Right. Get the idea, now? And thanks to Chiakai that I got a virus which is a relative of Herpes. I swear, I won’t be promiscuous, and no pre-marital sex for fear of getting permanent chickenpox, or Herpes.
Anyway, now that the council candidates are out, I just want to say, I will be rooting for NUTS. Sorry, team Milk.
