Today is the day I go on trial. Trial for what! For being accused of being a witch! Trying to kill my sweet baby girl. Oh how dare they accuse me of this. I will not stand for this. I have been a good servant. All my life I have served this family. And they still dare to suspect me. I would never harm such a little girl. Never!

The punishment for such things is death. I don;t want to die. Poor tituba does not want to die. The only way out of thiss is to confess. But confess to what! Lies! Crimes I didn't commit. I am very sad. After this I am going back to my home town. No more being in these western countries. No more. I have had enough. Enough of this nonsense.

But what if I don't clear my name? What if they accuse me of witchcraft.Ohh. Tituba is not liking this . Not at all.

I have been monitor for two months now and life is not easy. Things are getting tougher with the meet the parents session still going on. I have to be careful not to make any mistakes but sometimes errors are inevitable. And you know what the worst part is? Th fact that everytime I do something wrong everybody looks at me as if I am a terrorist.Why? Just because I am a monitor. This is really screwed up. I just people would stop blaming me for everything sometimes. Everytime something goes wrong, it's always monitor this monitor that. I am sick and tired. Hopefully march will bring up some change.

2 weeks that's how loing I have been stuck inhere. I was able to endure it all. All the beatings and torture. But today was different. How were they able to find out? How could they possibly have? I have never told anyone about this except Julia. But she couldn't have told them. I know her. She would never tell them anything. It must have been the thought police's doing.

One thing led to another in today's torture session. They had come to know about my worst fear and they had used it, rather effectively. I can't bear it. I can withstand the beating's, the stretching of limbs until the point of breaking. I can handle anything. Except them. Anything but those things. Those vile and despicable creatures. RATS. My very knees tremble at the mere mention of that creature.

And worse part of it all was that they used it against me. The shut my hea din a cage filled to the brim with rats! Oh, the pain, the agony. I still can't shake my mind off it. I still remember. One was crawling across my face and theother was biting the back of my head. No! I can't take it anymore. I'll tell them tomorrow. Tell them I believe in Big Brother, in his teachings in his ideas. I love you Big Brother. Free me from this wretched state. Long live the party!

Monitor Leadership training course.

Today was the the leadership training course for all class com members. We were given the training via an organization called Young Midas. The instructors were not boring which was a relief but some of their jokes fell flat. We were asked to form groups and after that we were aked to take part in some activities. And of course there were the inevitable FEEDBACK FORMS(I should seriously murder the guy who created those vile and despicable things).

There were many activities but there was one which I really enjoyed. In this activity we were supposed to write a word on a piece of mahjong paper and after that the other group members were supposed to continue with another word so on so forth to form a story. The sstories quickly assumed a very sexually orientated context with word s such as 'vigourously' and 'wet and runny' being used. Seriously why does everone here think about sex? I mean sure it's interesting but shouldn't we know when to use some terms?

Anyway things ran smoothly but SURPRISINGLY, I actually learnt about good leadership values. Kudos to you Young Midas. I know now how to manage the class properly and I think that I can implement some of the skills I have learnt in future endeavours. But no promises that I won't turn out as a corrupt Monitor!

Monitior's Induction

Today was the day I got inducted into being a monitor. I was actually surprised that VS gives so much importance to its monitors. My primary school hrdly ever chose monitors. I was feeling nervous wondering how the others would react to me. A first timer. And to further worsen things Hadi couldn't make it for the workshop! He wasn't feeling so good or so he says.

When we arrived the exco members took down attendance and then it was time for icebreakers. Icebreakers are a must for any event. They are used as a tool to help us know one another better. They feature many common games like Whacko and Sausage. The icebreakers started off with a game called Bang. There was a 'Banger' and would orchestrate the game's events. The game sounded vulgar(seriously bang? Banger?) but was fun. We followed up with a game of whacko. Thereafter came the boring parts. All leadership camps tend to follow a common structure. There are always worksheets which pose questions such as "Define Leadership" and so on so forth.

I really hate when camps do this. First of all at least half of the participants are not interested in answering these kind of questions. Of course they are meaningful but isn't it a bit boring? Why must there be such questions being asked. Everybodyhas a general idea of what being a leader means so I always find this segments largely unneccesary. Anyway we had more games group disscussions(which inevitably led to 'talking cock' sessions) and finally ended of with a...... Feedback Form!! Oh the feedback form, what will camps do without it.

We should never give feedback forms. Nobody answers them truthfully anyway. The orgnisers should have a fair idea on how we feel about the programme or camp after it's over. All good things must come to an end and so did the programme. I received my monitior's badge and a new sense of pride. Let's hope the semester passes equally smoothly.

Games Galore!!!!

Yes the Chinese new year holidays had arrived. I was thankful for the long break and even more so for the extra day that we had gotten for the great 'o' level results. Afetr finishing all my homework I was ready to enjoy Chinese New Year. I didn't need to go visiting like most of my other Chinese friends. Sadly I don't get ant hong bao either. While contemplating my next move in the pursuit of enjoyment I received a call from my cousin who lived a few blocks away. It seemed that his PS2(playstation 2 for those non-gamers) was spilt and that he was giving away all his games for free.

Yes they were being given for free! Imagine that over 30 games for free! Freeeeeeeeeeeeeee! No need to waste money to buy games. Yes they were all free. I know I seem to be repeating myself but it's not often that you get over 40 PS2 games for free. Let me say it once more. Freeeeeeeeeeee! No time to waste I rushed over to his house eager to get all those free games. He led me into his room and opened his cabinet which contained thousands(Okay maybe not thousands but who cares?) of PS2 games! Freeeeeeeeeeee!

Like a starving child being given food I grabbed every game I saw and stuffed them into a bag I had brought greedily. I didn't pause to look at which game I was taking. As long as they were all free! I guess rushing for free stuff is a quality that makes us uniquely Singaporean. After taking all the games my cousin also gave me his two controllers free! Absolutely Freeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The next few hours were spent trying out the games. Something I enjoy doing. I had many great titles such as Need for Speed ProStreet, GTA San Andres, Princ of Persia and GTA Vce City Stories. All for Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I think that was one of the best days in my life. I do hope someone else gives me something free in the near future. All I can do is wait.

ANOTHER left 4 dead clip on the witch. Notice how long she takes to die.

This is Left 4 Dead one of the best games I have ever played. You play as a group of survivors after a zombie outbreak. You will fight tons of zombies(sometiimes even hundreds at a time) in an effort to survive. You will encounter special enemies such as hunters, smokers. boomers, tanks and witches.

The following piece was symphonic dances from fiddler on the roof. Why is this on the blog you may ask. The reason is simple this was the concert our band played on th tenth of january at the Singapore conference hall. We were a guest band at Manjusri Secondary's concert. This was my second concert and my first formal one. The experience was exhilarating, certainly one that would be remembered for many years to come.

Months had been spent preparing for the concert. Our conductor was a very strict man who demanded the best playing possible from each member. Numerous band practices included scoldings of fellow bandmates and humiliations. But we didn't shirk back we took it in our stride and gave the best we could every single time.

Symphonic Dances is a nice albeit very difficult piece. The initial stages of practices contained numerous painstaking hours of figuring out notes and timings. Screwing up while playing was common. Of course, our seniors had no problem with piece. It filled us with awe just looking at them playing the piece with such finesse.

The concert day finallly arrived! Yes the actual concert day. After final rehearsels I nervously gripped my instrument and headed off with the band to Singapore Conference hall. After being introduced to various other bands from Chai Chee, Gan Eng Seng and manjusri the final rehearsals began. They were nerve wracking and all that was over it was time to wear our full uniforms adn show off our talents.

My senior Sherman was getting extremely nervous. He was given his first solo! After some mental preparationwe headed out to face the audience. WE began our piece. It seemed strange, you spend months preparing for something and its gone in a flash. And that's just what happened. We received many good comments. And at the end of it all I was quite satisfied. Con=ming up is the SYF. Wish the band all the best!!

Wednesday 7 January

Today started out as an average day but ended up as something totally different. After completing my compulsory 1 hour of individual band practice I wanted to head home as soon as possible. I was tired after a long day at school and looked forward to getting back. The holidays are over, time to face the grim reality of life.(sigh) And so I eagerly waited for the bus to arrive. This young man suddenly came out of nowhere and sat beside me. He looked weird. It was as if something was wrong whith him. He kept looking at me. Come to think about it I think he's insane. He started asking me for my waterbottle adn went on to ask questions like"Can I follow you home." I was seriously freaked out. I mean who in the right mind would ask these kind of questions. What was he trying to do? I mean I know that there men who "like" young boys. But that was seriously way out of context. I mean if he wanted to do anything funny wouldn't he have started it off differently. Nobody comes to you and asks to follow you home just like that. The bus was a lifesaver. He might have been insane. That would have been a perfectly logical explanation. His action was also 'random' in a way. Maybe he knew about my blog. Whatever the case, I pray I don't meet him again.
