BORED.

boys and girls. this is a message brought to you from MOE.

27 June 2007
Singapore--

A recent statement from the Ministry of Education has everyone partying till the break of day. Just 1 minute ago, it was confirmed by a senior adviser in the Ministry who spoke on condition of anonymity that studying is bad for you! Yes you, put down that bloody textbook right now.

According to MOE, a study was done on the effects of studying on the young, today's students, tomorrow's leaders, the hope of a better age, Auspicium Melioris Aevi. Apparently, due to Singapore's meritocratic society, students have been chasing paper their whole lives. As such, excessive studying has shown to be, contrary to popular belief, bad for one's health. Not only does excessive studying make you look like a potato, fatter and whiter than an Ang Moh, but it also causes some disturbing mental problems.

This reporter has since interviewed a few students to validate this, but sadly, the most they could say was this, "Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.....your hair longer than mine! Book you!" While this reporter failed to get a coherent answer to any of his questions, their answers were proof enough.

Also, economists who have been studying the problem of excessive "mugging" have concurred with MOE's assessment. Studying alone, generates negative externalities, such as excessive noise-making which disturbs the peace, as well as unruly behaviour such as going out of one's way to PISS OTHERS OFF. So if you learnt in school that education was a merit good, you better unlearn that now. But that is studying in itself, so its best if you just knock your collective heads repeatedly on the wall and hope you get amnesia.

The ministry has now dictated certain fast solutions to remedy this acute problem. The spokesman had this to say, "Dota and CS FTW!!!!11!!!11!!"

So boys and girls, I hope you've learnt something today. Screw the CTs, go and play ;)

L'ambada outing!!

Hey ya, it's been quite a long long time since orientation, and although slightly fewer come to the lodge nowadays, it's all right as I know you all are still there in spirit, and do try to come down whenever possible k? If you feel that the lodge is too far away, think of it like this: it makes our og more unique than the rest who just shift to the canteen right? anyway the canteen is also quite noisy and so the lodge is still the best :)

Anyway, thnks so much for making shaun's birthday a success. Everyone signed on the ball, and the card.. amazing!! And Zhen Yang's guitar concert was quite interesting and fun to be in, and it did get me interested in guitar, but I am already learning piano, so that'll have to wait:)

Yep. now for the main message: L'ambada outing in June hols. I know, CTs are after hols, but it's ok to just go out and have a little fun on one day of the hols ain't it? Probably would be on a weekend where everyone is more free. The date is yet to be settled. But hopefully many ppl can come! This time it'll be in the west. haha.. and probably not something physical, maybe at the beach again?

K. that's all for now. love you all!

chong min

Yo yo yo fellow lambadeans!

So much (well, not exactly) has happened since term 2 started!

Perhaps the biggest event this term was our dear OGL's birthday!!! Wheee!

Shaun: Glad you liked the video and the cake and the card!! Special attention was given k... LOL ok ok nvm

Even though the numbers that go to the lodge everyday have decrease significantly.... at least there are still a handful of us that still go to the lodge dutifully!

And I must now take the time to commend these people who have never failed to come to the lodge whenever they can!

1) Jacq! (although you come later and leave earlier now... )

2) Weihan! (even though it's season now!)

3) Shaun (even with the council stuff!)

4) Yuheng

5) Sam! (yae all the above listed are westies !!! =p )

6) TCM! (he's getting earlier and earlier each day! everyone give him a round of applause!)

7) Augustine (well.. no excuse since he lives at RI boarding right??)

8) Sunny! (even though you come one minute before the bell rings... it's the thought that counts!)

9) Janice! (even though you come to school really late....)

10) tanvi! (even though council is taking almost all of your time away!)

did i leave anyone out?? So embarrassing if i left anyone out (oops)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

anyway.... today was R Project and GUITAR ENSEMBLE CONCERT day!

Basically chong min and I went (and we met marcsee there) to support our favourite scholar, SUNNY! Whee!

We bought him flowers and a box of chocolate Pocky to wish him well at the performance! True enough... the performance was great and it was really cool to hear songs like "flight of the bumblebee", "mariage d'amour", "somewhere over the rainbow", "top of the world" and many others! Well done ZY!

Even though there were only a few OG members that went down to support the GE concert (awww)... I know the WHOLE OG was there in spirit! haha... And we must try to support as many OG members as possible k??? (say... when are bowling finals???) *hint hint*

yae... here's a picture of ZY with his guitar, pocky and bouquet of grass... LOL

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

love ya all!

exciting eighteen!

In the wee hours of the morning on 15th May, when all was still dark, the sun hadn't arrived to dawn on this side of the earth, the school was gloomy and empty, the birds sleeping in their nests, zhenyang still in his bed, a bunch of crazy MT-headed people bustled around at a certain lodge in a certain school on a certain island.


L'ambadeans hurriedly trying to light (and count) the numerous candles :)


Shaun's cake! With 18 candles >__< So hot and nervous that it's sweating already...

...and the birthday boy comes to save the cake from its suffering! :D

With a great big SLICE, our champion relieves the cake of its duty :) Rest in piece, o great tripledecker cake. You have served your purpose well.

Yumm. Let's have a moment of silence to commemorate the cheesecake.

...

:) Happy EXCITING 18TH, SHAUN!



Note: No more cheesecakes in the wee hours of the morning. It is rather taxing on the stomach. Please forgive us, o future cheesecakes, for denying you all the pleasure of being eaten by the L'ambadeans of the Red Wall of Raffles.

HAPPY BURFDAE SHAUN =D

YAY it's such a cool day today! And I hope you had a great day today! So sorry I didn't turn up early this morning; I wanted to, but when my alarm rang at 5 I turned it off and didn't wake up until 9. T.T the rest is history.

Anyway you've been such a great and supercool OGL! You're always so funny and full of energy! Thanks for always making an effort to turn up for our dinners and outings, despite your busy schedule. That day when my classmate saw your birthday card she said "Your OGL is Shaun Liu? You're so lucky!" and yes, we are all so blessed to have you as an OGL! Here's to wishing you all the best in your studies and CCA!

flowers!

Great job dancers! :) Hope you all liked the flowers from me, weihan, tanvi and yuheng! BTW the syf dances were seriously DA BOMB. They totally inspired a deeper and more profound thinking in me which opened my senses up to a new dimension of colour and movement that blew me away and sent me home with a deep satisfied feeling of cultural enlightenment which I understand and comprehend not! =D

Here's weihan with the flower he got =D Is it just me or is the flower sorely lacking in something? =X

dancey dance dance...boink.

hey you dazzling, dancers you! just wanted to say the $12 and sidelined front row seats were well worth it. brilliant and inspired performance you guys! really nice. good job! well done! lookin' forward to next year yeah? hooahh..

cheers
