this quite horrible week is over. did well for the mini math test! =) but not much satisfaction tho. cos it was relli too easy. n for 10% of end-of-yrs?! tt's jus obviously the math dept hoping too boost students marks. not complaining tho. tdy's mini bio test was relatively easy. provided i got correct the qns i thot i got correct. hmm. haha. n our grp managed to finish our wr report on time. yay! tdy's trng was kinda crazy. jiao lian came. he gave me a damn long damn heavy 34 inch sword. (my normal is 30 inch). den he did quite a fair bit of pt with us. pity near the end i sort of sprained my ankle. not tt serious tho. shud be able to recover over the weekend. in fact i better recover. or not nxt wk comp i die liao la. n tmr got dota inter-sch wcg sch team trials haha. got no clue wad the format is like n den m tft jus gave up on me cos i had to reinstall it. den sth went wrong along the way. sianned. so i gota play my best tmr after quite a long period of abstinence hah.

Baron's Strong Brew Presents
SlipKnoT Vol. 3: Sublimal Verses World Tour 2005
Singapore, Fort Canning Park

OWNAGE

being kiasu idiots, daryl n i met at ps at abt 5.30pm to da bao some mac n made our way to fort canning park early. upon reaching the archway where the barrier was set up, we were already greeted with a crowd of slipknot fans. it wasn't too hard to identify them with their slipknot tees or heavy metal band tees. and abt 95% of them were wearing black. haha. it was then we realised how noob we were. ok so we sat down at the pavement along with the crowd n wolfed down our burgers so we could be rid of the plastic bags quickly as we watch more ppl streaming in. there was this sad t-shirt booth at the side but the t-shirts were relli ex. sigh. i had actually brought money to spend but decided not to in the end cos it was relli too ex. prolly buy them from inokii or sth.
ok by the time they started letting ppl in was probably ard... say, 6.15pm? yeah then the whole crowd chionged to the entrance. but the process was REALLY slow. den there was this bunch of bikers who kept squeezing thru the crowd intot he venue. damn irritating. den daryl's bro n hir fren came. haha. his fren oso made one joey mask. quite funny. ok den this mini merc limo came cutting thru the crowd again. this time it was filled with the driver n one other guy with a video cam. we being the noobs din recognise him for hu he relli was until someone ahead shouted "SID!" haha walao how cool la. den we queued again... den 2 merc vans came cutting thru again, this time filled with the band! budden they were all unmasked so it was quite difficult to tell hu was hu so there wasnt much hoo-ha. (someone identified corey tho). by the time we got in it was already abt 7.10pm.
den the stage was set at the foot of the gentle slope with these yellow railings ard the front of the stage, acting as barriers to divide the $100 crowd from the $60 crowd. (imagine an elongated semi-circle at the front of the stage). then within tt barrier right at the front was the crazy $150 crowd. haha. so me n daryl managed to find a space on the barrier tt wasn't occupied near the back but we could stand on the things so we had a pretty decent view of the stage. as we waited we could hear music playing. stuff like guns n roses, chemical romance (i think) n another daryl identified as the slayers. nice music. n everytime the music stopped or someone came on stage to fix/set-up the equipment everyone would start chanting "SLIPKNOT!" haha. den alot of time they test this test that den we all thought it was gona start but all fake. until the music suddenly stopped halfway thru a song.
a recording of Prelude 3.0 started playing n tt was when the chaos was abt to begin. (u see the turn-out was fairly sad so like 2/3 of the space in the $100 barrier was unoccupied). so, when the music began, the barrier started shaking. yeah. shake shake shake den it finaly gave way n everyone poured in on the other side of the pit. at our side, the barrier was still nicely intact. den the organisers got quite pissed and conincidentally or not (they claimed it was a techinical fault), the music stopped. den the organisers had torchlights our den began checking the barriers n stuff. den after awhile the intro began again. just as i was abt to get into the mood, daryl tapped me n motioned me to move forward. haha. luckily he spotted a defeated barrier further up on our side so we managed to sneak into the $100 area!!! muahaha.
ok well den SlipKnoT started playing all their amazing songs. n all the time we were inching forward haha.
its a pity most of the songs they played were from their previous albums tho. so i couldn't relli appreciate them tt well cos i havent heard them yet =S haha. but it was crazy all the same.
thing tt spoilt some parts for me was this bunch of drunk bastards hu were pushing, seriously PUSHING each other abt for god noes why. den it was super irritating. n it always coincidentally happens during my fav songs so it was quite pissing off.
but hey, we got prime $100 space man. haha.

after the concert i was literally feeling half deaf. haha. den we head banged so much until everyone's neck damn pain. den u noe ur neck pain u will oso feel headache one rite? yeah. tt's wad i'm feeling rite now.

but it was DAMN worth it!

n den i gota pour out my savings to get some cool official merch. so exciting can. cant wait to see wad merch they'll sell.
ahhhh to see them play on stage. haiz. if i cant get manson, i guess i'll have to settle for less. but slipknot's supposed to be quite gd live so i hope i wont be disappointed.
must pia after sch tmr so can go there n line up early to get in n get gd spaces. but its fort canning so it SHUD be hilly so i SHUD not have too much problem seeing the stage from anywhere.

hope all goes well.

tdy econ's was screwed up haha. we all heard qn3 was gona come out which was this tough qn on airfare. end up when she flashed the qn on the screen it turned out to be regurgitation qn 2 tt nobody seriously studied for. haha. damn sad. i can only be glad tt killer qn 1 din come out. i mean, africa wtf?
quite worried for math err... quiz. on wed. guess i cant relli do anything abt it. practiced my tut qns already. yeow said its not even frm tys n its do or die type so i guess its up to luck now.
pw written report 1st draft due this fridae. sian la. n my eom was so totally screwed up. sincerely feel like doing it with another source cos i think my grp use too many online sources le. n we got tons of print sources!!!!!! sigh. but i cant seem to find the hardworking spirit in me to redo it.
stupid oag wana hold a chem test this fri. (shud be). i did my tutorials for both the topics so i SHUD be ok.
sigh. relli hope to improve. so far very good. but i noe i'm only kidding myself if i believe my current results actually reflect vast improvement. i mean, econs test, chem test, so far relli not damn easy haha. damn!

first up, everyone came in their cls jersey! so cool! haha. we were like, the only cls with a red cls jersey to wear haha. n prolly the only cls where everyone wore it.
parade at the field was decent. the marchings were so horrid n we couldn't sit cos the seats were wet due to rain. but the saving grace came in the form of tchs's band. sigh. 4 yrs there n they had to wait till my 5th yr before they came up with sth so nice. he their performance instead of the traditional ncc precision drill. NICE CHANGE imo. relli nice. i have to sae band rox haha.
den went to hall for celebrations. daryl n chaoqun went up for some nat dae quiz n won the cls some popular bk vouchers i think. haha. great job guys!!!
den MIN JIE WENT UP TO SING A JAY CHOU SONG!!! woot~! haha! good stuff! i guess all those kbox sessions paid of eh? haha. there was this other guy hu started off better but forgot the lyrics halfway n went off-tune towards the chorus. so, minjie>other guy. haha. n he still dare to sae he's frm choir. wth. if i was frm choir i'd bash him up la. anywae tt got us more prizes. den came the fashion show! our merlion man, modelled my jeff n mr valles, got 2nd! woot~! cool la! haha. 80 bucks sakae sushi vouchers. actually i think we shud've gotten first. all guat's fault la. our costume definitely had much more effort put into it. at least we got sth. den come to the singing part. actually every yr its jus stone n hope it ends quickly. this yr duno why the cls so enthu still must like o1 liddat stand in a circle n hop abt n sway n stuff. it was nice tho.
den got some massive shaving session. cos ppc was having his head shaven. was quit hilarious so we stayed to watch for awhile. den after tt quite sian diao. budden TONNES of ppl started shaving. seriously la. crazy freaks. i din shave cos i knew if i did she wud kill me. anywae, i only need to wait abt 2 yrs before i have no choice but to shave.
initially wanted to go sentosa haha. but it was raining to heavily in the morning so it was very humid so i was quite reluctant to go. in the end went harbourfront to makan at subway. nvr relli liked it cos i nvr found anything special abt it. it was ok i suppose. bought a nice cheap one cos i was on a tight budget. den proceeded to rach's hse.
started lounging abt in her living rm watching tv before going downstairs to use the facilities. played some horrid squash with aaron tt was a total waste of time haha. den went to play snooker. was kinda pissed cos its so damn hard to play n i kept leving easy balls to the person after me. but i won all anywae so its all ok. hehe. den watch em play squash haha. i think its the first time i actually see her doing a sport haha. anywae, watch watch watch until feel like playing oso. den i think play until not bad with daryl so quite fun. budden it was 6pm so we had to zao cos someone else booked the court. went back up to rach's hse den bummed ard watching tv. too lazy to go for dinner so everyone ordered delivery heh. den bummed ard somemore while some others went down to frolic in the pool haha. dinner came. carbonara pasta. ok la. i think i found it ok cos i was hungry. verdict frm others was tt it sucked. lounged for awhile more den decided to head back home.

btw, jus finished reading charlie n the choc fac. so nice =) now looking for charlie n the great glass elevator.
not tt keen on watching the movie tho. both my sisters saw it already n they sae it isnt tt great. i heard johnny depp was quite a disappointing willy wonka. oh well.
