Change of blogskin
Eh guys as you can see our blogskin isn't really anything terrific. In fact, it looks quite noob compared to some CO blogs. Right now its just a picture with a light background that scrolls down together with the black text. I've been trying so hard (and no success) for the past two nights to change the stupid blogskin but the stupid message keeps appearing that says my coding is incomplete when I'm pretty sure I pasted the whole thing into the html column. So... if anyone knows how to make this blog look nicer... please help... can try with the rico tanbo 2 blog first.

Back to normal.
yo guys. Happy to see me posting in English? Finally not so emo today, so decided to blog normally today. So far, theres nothing interesting going on. Today was pretty much an uneventful day. Its Learning Journey... sianz. First let me recount why it was a utter waste of time..
I came to school around 7.30, stoned around in class until 8. Tried damn hard to go to sleep, but apparently the entire class was in mugging fever for chem. Shouting here and there for hints and clues. Walao, they can't just understand that there are approximately 5 people in RI's sec 4 batch that do not take chem... Yeah call me stupid or whatever, but I know I'm destined for ITE (Its The End)
Ironically, we went to ITE for our learning journey, for a supposed Total Defence lesson. The bus was late for arounf 1/2 hour, so took out my cheap china mp3 to listen. I only realized that it was at Half Battery. Damn it, should have charged last night, but too late. I had to conserve the energy left. So I could not go all out and listen to my collection of 1/2h songs.
Once again, people commented on my torn jacket. Now I admit that my jacket looks weird, being torn in all places. After all I dragged it in a pool of mud and water before, used it in a tug-of war. When I left it behind at RJC, apparently not even the cleaners want it. But yeah, it serves its purpose anyway.
So back to the ITE. They listened to a lecture and got a free package. and it was here that I wondered, where was the TOTAL DEFENCE ELEMENT? everything seemed to be media propogation that tried its failing best to convince people to choose ITE. their video involved random students annoucing their love for ITE.. Lol
After that, we got taken to a brief tour of the surroundings. Some of the machinery were interesting but the only thing that caught my eye was the media interaction department. They had this freaking cool blue room to take their videos in and they could change the background at will using their computers. Charles got jacked and went into the blue area. The Media people then changed the environment to LAs Vegas. LOL. Chinaman lost in Las Vegas. haha.
Refreshment was quite okay, but the sandwiches seemed to go out of stock pretty fast. by the time, I went for second helping, I faced a empty table. sigh...
Next, we went back into the hall for a last lecture about animation. We ended off by doing some survey forms and some questions about ITE's scopes. We returned school half an hour late as a result. Thanks man.
The biggest question is how aggresive media propogation of their school has anything to do with ITE. Maybe someone planning the event got some stuff mixed up? Still, it was a waste of time.
Now, on to CO matters. be advised that this is strictly meant for tanbo. Now Mr yeo is still sick and unable to come back. Me and Yu Chen (the Huqin SL if ya dunno) were thinking of creating a compliation album which includes videos of us playing some of Mr Yeo's songs. I was thinking that tanbo should come together and play 欢欣, the version that was originally meant for tanbo. not sure about cello, but we can always rearange the scores. And I want every section to come out with some sort of ensemble or solo item. Best to be ensemble, cause its as a single group. For pipa, maybe Kwang Yi can play his item with Yee Siang again.
Since moving of yangqin is a concern, I was thinking of holding this session on Tues or thurs. normally RJCO is not using it, so we can use CO room for our video background. Now I know, you guys dun have a lot of time and have a lot of tests. Some of you may have other commitments during these days, so I'm imploring you guys to put aside 1 or 2 such days for this session. I hope to have this video done before the end of term 2. So currently, its sorta confirmed that its on either tues or thurs, unless a majority suggests another day.
there, cya next time
PLS NOTE: take 2 min off and watch this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm5MjHONZY0 .Its my first ever created music video. I know there are people who dun give a hoot about anime music videos but give some opinions can? I must be getting desperate to promote my video like this...

oyster poem
juvenile strings plucked timely,
ingenious bopians and zhijias scraped,
array of sounds blindy?
yet not so the "long" swerved,
under the suona would all these be covered?
random it may seem,
onward it still went (even though maybe gan pai)
carried by the wind crensenting on,
keeping in mind the go(a)l(d) ahead
so we survived! we made it!
some say its a fluke,
oblivious to reality.
do these people ever stop,
open their eyes for once to listen for once?
u cant hear the music, you feel the music.
(so what if no honours, still improvement ok!)

今天，本来想再一次回到从前用英文的我，但是心里好乱，令人彷徨失措。可能是拜读了颂霆（Patrick) 的博客而被他所流露的感情而动憾。他所谈到的是朋友的悲欢离合，朋友之间的脆弱关系。他说：“我一直都相信，只要懂得退让，只要懂得宽容，任何友情都可以永恒的。” 这个想法或许会让有些人认为思想太过天真了。但是，同时它也是友情上至高无上的信念。你说不是吗？
颂霆透露，他这几天欲觉不安，心灵上感到异常的不自在。我不想干涉他的内心世界，因为那是完全属于他的，是每个人都会留在心田的一个梦境。身为他的朋友，我只能给予精神上的支持。 但是，颂霆在讨论朋友的真正意义，却提出了一针见血的难题？究竟友情是怎样的一会事？它是双方互相了解，并以此为根基，进一步使友情增长吗？还是，需要一方低三下四，你推我让的。友情不过象一个游戏，若是强词夺理，又或者退得别无去路，你就真的游戏结束gameover了。
别人或许会说天真地对待友情，实在太傻，太愚蠢。但是，我认为这不是痴心妄想，而是人心最热诚的表现。如果，我们开始计算自己为他人所付出的一切，那就再也不是友情了。友情对我们生活里的重要是非比寻常的。朋友犹如从手中，点点滴滴流失的清水。不管你怎么努力去抓，还是不能够掌握在手心。可是，在这个地步，结局已经不重要了。至少我们曾经奋斗过，努力力保友情。我们则可无怨无悔，肯定地说：“我敢为朋友曾经付出一切！”
人生的确不完美，不是我们所想象的“童话故事” 人生不是梦，它是真实的。既存在缺劣里，那就是我们的宿命，反抗也是徒劳无功。从前的友情被社会的不良影响而败坏，变得自私与虚幻。但若我们肯尝试去纠正这个不容天理的错误，谁敢说我们的梦想不会化成真实？
还记得周华健的歌曲“朋友”，其实“这些年一个人风也过雨也走”，历尽沧桑，“有过泪有过错”但仍旧“记得坚持”过的信念。就算孤独不堪，“会寂寞会回首”，而终有梦终在你我心中。
朋友一生一起走
那些日子不再有
一句话一辈子
一生情一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过
一声朋友你会懂
还有伤还有痛
还要走还有我...
别让情两难，要懂得珍惜友情，等到太晚，留下的也只有一路风尘...

World Religions WARNING: MEANT AS PARODY. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY
Religions are a big part of world history. They influence ideology, causing wars, conflicts and inspire hope in their followers.
To understand religion and thus the behaviours of their followers it is necessary to understand the history of religions.
This essay will attempt to trace just that.
Millenia ago three distinct schools of thought emerged. The God school, the Instutution School and the Idolization school. The God school became the major religions of today. For more information please consult the major religious leaders so famous today for their take on the matter. The Institution school has unfortunately been closed down by the MOE (Ministry of Entertainment).
The Idolization school (hereby known as Idol), however, is where the fun began.
This natural instinct of Idol was repressed for centuries. Occasionally it would explode in a frenzy in ways like American Idol. This was how it was and how it should be.
The Idol school, (un)fortunately suddenly manifested itself in a rather ordinary-looking group of boys in the early 21th century, right before the collapse of the world order.
The Idols had 2 main groups : the Zhengqingyu and the Jiayuism. Other movements were formed but they were smaller.
Devotees to Zhengqingyu worshipped the Truth, Lao Zheng. They believed he was the be-all and end-all of everything, so any explanation for inconvenient dilemmnas like:
"If you can do anything, can you make a stone you cannot lift?" Ans: "Lao Zheng."
"Who created Lao Xheng in the first place?" Ans: " Lao Zheng."
Interestingly, this religion originated when an individual by the name of Jia Yu suddenly realized the Truth and started spontaneously worshipping Lao Zheng. And Zhengqingyu-ism was born!
It took a dull and dreary RICO by storm. First it gained a foothold in the liberal Republic of HuQing. Then emissaries were sent out to the United Musicians of Chuiguan and the usually repressive Tanbo Faction, who warmed to the idea and were soon falling over each other to worship the Zhengqingyu. Interestingly, the normally no-holds-barred liberal Kingdom of Perc and its king refused to have anything to do with it.
Temples were built. Paintings were drawn. Offerings were made. Zhengqingyu-ism seemed unstoppable.
Then from the depths of the Tanbo Faction a little-known man became famous overnight.
Yi Jiayu's rise to fame is badly documented. It supposedly started with a small band of followers in the Liuqin Estate and ended with him being the mascot of Tanbo.
His message of 'Strawberry flavoured Jiayu fishcake' spoke powerfully to Tanbo's starving soldiers, who has been surviving on used strings, bopians, scores and zhijias for centuries. The Yangqin Principality didn't even let them chew on the slightly more nutritious Qingzus.
In any case, strident opposition from the Yongjun Party from the Yangqin Principality was ignored and the Tanbo Faction embraced Jiayu, not exactly wholeheartedly but more like a way to fight back against the 'foreign talent' of Lao Zheng.
An open challenge to the Zhengqingyu was right there for all to see. What would the powerful Republic of HuQing and the United Musicians of Chuiguan do?
At first, not much.
However, when the TF(Tanbo Faction) set up a blog it proved too tempting a target.
The United Musicians of Chuiguan(UMC) were unable to put together a response due to internal strife but this was not the same elsewhere.
Commander Winter and Officer Jiemin of the RoH(Republic of Huqin) were unofficially sent to set up a competing one and fight back. As troops massed in the borders, both sides resorted to air attacks on 'tagboards' the codename for a feedback unit.
Both side's weaknesses became apparent: the RoH was strong only in lobbying for support and converting people. Militarily their troops were ill-trained and lacked discipline and relied on human wave spam attacks. The TF was pretending to ignore the attack and its members lived in a state of relative innocence. Only the commander, Valance Chan, and the de facto Deputy Commander, Wei, stood up against the assaults of their opposite
numbers on the TF side.
The CO Jihads will be discussed in another essay from the Lee DW School of International Policy Studies.
Till then, happy studying, slacking and sleeping.
Now go --- I’m busy lazing around.

唉...
对不起，我实在没有心情谈开心的事，真的没有心情...
这些年来在学校，难免会觉得孤独。我...真的真的没有什么知心朋友。若是有的，也渐渐无可奈何地产生磨擦，眼睁睁地与自己疏远了。我知道，本身的性格并没有特点。我不会开好笑的笑话，我不善言辞，而得不到他人的欢迎。我显然呈现一重孤傲的外表，令人不敢踏过我建立的界线。
只有...最终只有在华乐团，我才发觉那是我唯一属于的地方，一个能接受我的天地。我也因此非常重视音乐，因为我觉得只能在音乐里，表现最真实的自我。我好后悔小时后，没有主动去学习钢琴。我心里非常清楚，在音乐世界里，每个乐器都是平等的。但是，我就是偏爱钢琴所发出来的扎实的音质。
买是买了一个电子合成乐器(synthesizer)，发誓一定要在一年之间，弹奏我个人最喜欢的音乐。但除一两次，从未认真地学。我不禁对自己感到失望无奈，恨自己缺乏决心，不能够凭自己的实力去学习。我不能只怪没有老师的教导。若是努力去奋斗，我相信天无绝人之路，创造奇迹。
暂且不说钢琴这一事，就拿扬琴来说吧。学了这么久，学来学去，仍然还是半桶水。我几乎绝望了。没有老师不是我可以接受的借口。这些年来，面对其他老师的嘲笑，但是当年我的确是费尽全力。我不耻下问，我抛弃尊严，为的只是点点滴滴的进步。但我依然不满足。因为，此时的我已经停滞，瘫痪在一处，无法前进。我失去目标了；我惭愧无比...
这几天,常常以夜为日,闹到三，四点钟才入梦。功课与成绩的压力让我快要崩溃。自己与朋友斗气，重新独自完成专题作业，赶到隔天，连和上疲惫的眼睛都没有机会。最终还是被评为一个空前绝后的烂作品。明明这次作的更好，却又如何？为何与朋友的友情不断受损呢？我不晓得...
真的很怀念过去，那一段美好的光阴。尽管与朋友发生争执，那不过也是一笑而过，全不留在心头。如今的我们却一直得势不饶人，一旦被冒犯，就开始记仇，期待能够报复的一天。为何岁月那么无情，连心房也因此改变。我也只能够沉浸在当年完美的回忆。真的变老了，好似看破红尘了。哈哈...又说起华文了，这次也有诗句...
寄君一曲长恨歌,
琴林随晚月圆峰。
问君为何愁天下，
君回娘子知几何？
沉思悔想非无义，
密密深省利于己。
思愁犹如回首悲，
荒废光阴为何意？

今天我要讲华文...
月峰无影泣幽灵,
最梦终醒飘洒去。
雾林叶海摸不清,
懊哭冗悔黎天明。
孤星醉临负离情,
随风飘渺索阴冥。
戏游幻凯虚欣亭，
凝乡冰城谁残心?
哇...为何我今日有此雅兴，居然以中文来描述我现在的心情呀？
可能是因为我不快乐... 我这几天搭着12点钟的巴士回家。在昏暗的巴士上，交通往往通顺无阻。内心里的路程却不见得如此。 独自坐在破旧的座位上，我的心情不禁跌落，无法自拔。路灯忽明忽暗，一闪闪地在我憔悴的面庞上割下灰影。尽管我不是车上唯一的乘客，这里却是一个只属于自己的世界。
这一天...是习以为惯的。每一日，风雨无阻，我仍然不偏不倚，从不改变。巴士没有变，路灯没有变，但人情却变质了。这么多年来，随着岁月的流失，我越感不安。一股无名的压迫感环绕这我和这个世界。我想大家都曾有如此的感觉，只是没人敢把它说出来；因为一旦提出来就是承认它的存在，变成一个可怕的事实。的确，我们已经不是从前天真烂漫的小孩子了。我们不象以前对人诚恳，无私地帮助他人，慷慨解囊。现在的我们已经变得“聪明”多了。我们懂得如何撒谎，力保自己与麻烦永不会碰面。我们懂得过河拆桥，一旦某某人对自己已经没有利用价值就把他抛到九霄云外，断绝关系。我们懂得挑拨离间，利用他人的不合，来一个“鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利”。究竟我们丧失了什么，还是我们只是恢复我们本来丑陋的真面目？
我坐着，想着...答案犹如烟雾,不管怎样抓，终是无法成形。人生不如意的事简直数之不清，好想是在告诉我们：“人一踏入这个世界，就注定要受尽煎熬。” 我不反对这句话。就拿我的人生来作例子好了。身为一个顶尖学校的学生，每天都要面对同学之间钩心斗角的战争。要面对同学们的利用，让他们作弊，抄功课等等。帮一个人并不是坏事，但帮一个人取得一个不属于他们的成就，就是不对的行为。这些人居然说：“要对人诚恳，无私地帮助他人，慷慨解囊...” 我们可真的变的“聪明”多了。渐渐，大家慢慢的对世道上不公正的事物变得麻木了。不错，这个世界实在有太多太多的不公平。要彻底不它们消灭是不可能的。但是，“人生自古谁无死留取丹心照汗心”，我们解决的每一个问题，就是下一代不须费思解决的问题。这不是痴心妄想... 但是没有人敢站起来，勇敢地面对。我只恨自己没有胆量，苦苦地等待，等一个“救世者”出现。我等了很久，真的很累了，没有力气撑下去了...
所谓"人非圣人，孰能无过"，但是，我不只对世界失望，对自己也彻底失望。成绩满江红，是没话说。虽然尽了力，费了劲，仍然抱着一个鸡蛋乘兴而来，败兴而归。家人并不渴求过我什么，也每给予压力。那...为什么我还是这样失败。身为课外活动主长之一的我，同样也没有好下场。我不否认今年的主长们是有史以来最烂的一批。但是，被称为“昏军”实在反映了自己的无能。主长这个职位，并不是我要的。既然命运弄人，我没有办法，只得拼下去。一个“昏君”是得不到别人的认同与尊敬。这么下去，我实在不能忍受。我曾考虑过辞职不干，想过放弃...
人生已经那么短暂，何必让自己更加不愉快？
君叹碎心断肠处，
英勇雄伟何存为？
傲气纵横升九霄，
唯与天地竞自由。
君弃默情无别心，
冥海悠悠辜天命。
黯魂菊花满天落，
如风倩影追无宁...

最梦终醒飘洒去。
雾林叶海摸不清,
懊哭冗悔黎天明。
孤星醉临负离情,
随风飘渺索阴冥。
戏游幻凯虚欣亭，
凝乡冰城谁残心?
哇...为何我今日有此雅兴，居然以中文来描述我现在的心情呀？

Disappointments
just checked the marks for this term's Progress Report. One word: BAD...
OMG. i actually got better marks for bio than phy. Thats like....so wrong. considering that physics had only 2 assessments I think. Ones the practical, the others the CCT. Which I screwed up both...
Chinese was a pleasant surprise, I think I got top of class. LOL. something to be happy about then. Eng and Lit were not up to expectations and I forgot to check Hist's marks. DAMN. Oh and maths was barely scraping 60. Not bad lah, considering half my class failed outright or in the dreaded "yellow zone". But then again, most people in my class suck at maths, so not very good comparison.
AH. so many things to do. I must do at least 10 chin-ups for NAPHA, get back my 3.6 for maths, get 3.6 overall for these year. These hard-core gyming and training plus mugging. Sigh...
RE was rather slack today. (Like always) Malani D'crux was late (as usual) for around half an hour and me and Yu Chen went to RJ to get snacks. We discuused our book club books "The Giver" which was rather meaningful. However, there was several parts where the topic shifted to whether the giver was gay. LOL Intense debate followed. And I ended up applying for sponsorship on behalf on the group. Damn Yanwei, if only he donated some of his money, we can afford anything now.
Going gyming tmr with Yu chen, my first time gyming actually. Hope its the start of something new and consistent. And PLAY! Concert is finally out. June 15,16 tickets at 20-70 bucks. Must get 70 bucks ticket, its a freaking once in a lifetime opportunity. Seems like only I found out first. Am I the only one who reads newspapers? Rhetorical Question. Obviously yes.
Tmr is a great day. Slack lessons all the way which ends off with a free period. Alba is not coming for English. YAY!!! haha, I was kinda screwed by her today. the entire class owe her 120 pushups, I was giving a warning for practicing long teng paigu skills on the table. I ended up standing for the rest of the lesson. Luckily punishment was not something lame. Last time, the class sang birthday songs to the bushes outside the raja block. Damn funny. Conviently, I went to the toilet and watched the entertainment. my class saw me and all cursed at me. Lol, made a few enemies...
Anyway, cya again next time. with me around, this blog has no fear of being dead. Unless I die myself of course

Randomness
Valance here. We had our celebration lunch at the dead man's land in RI (spooky eh?) Ghosts and spectrals threatened to choke our last breaths but LAO ZHENG scared them away with his holy aura.
haha, lunch was pretty much sad and pathetic, with low quality food (did anyone see those vegetables?) Still it was nice of Ms Lim to treat us all considering it came out of her pocket money. Thats around 60 people plus instructors. Wow, I'm surprised she did not ask yanwei to sponsor. If Yanwei agreed to sponsor and told us to keep the change, the entire of Singapore will be a shiny gold dot, if it does not submerge into the ocean. LOL
I sat with the star-studded crowd at the HOLY table. We had Yihao: Sheng SL, Zhen Xiao: Vice Chair, Diwei: Secretary, Yanwei: RICO sponsor, Yuchen: Huqin SL, me: Tanbo Sl, Yonghseng: Dizi pro, KAH KANG: the uprising suona star...AND LAO ZHENG!!!!
Lol, we were too interested in worshipping Lao Zheng with offerings that we almost forgotten to eat ourselves. As usual, only Lao Zheng can eat first, otherwise occuring his heavenly wrath. I forgot this fact, and saw the Qingyuism God Mark outside my house in the dead of night later. Thus I paid the price by doing 200 pushups in front of it before LAo Zheng was pleased.
But back to the lunch, apparently Lao Zheng eats his soup with chopsticks. WAH. Damn imbar.
But we had a couple of impertinent young skirts who sought to emulate Lao Zheng by being their usual crazy self. They include Yong Jun, Jiayu and perhaps Chunyin or Eugene. Apparently, they thought it amusing to barbecue meat on top of the charcoal in the steamboat...lol. Jokes aside, but it would create more inconvience for the owners there. But as they say, "Kids are kids. One must take a lighthearted approach to kids, asuming with fatalistical faith that maturity will arrive someday." Lol
Later on, after lunch was finished, Zhen Xiao and Shi Heng led everybody in a cheer for teachers. (It is noted that Shi Heng rarely says anything. I dun mean to be insurbordinate but its a sad fact of life that the second-in-command is always the noticable one) Sent a encouraging message to Mr Yeo with yu chen. Yu Chen did not say which school he was from, so most likely Mr Yeo thought he was a random spammer. Thus, he did not get a reply "thank you" like I did. Lol
Afterwards went to do chinups with Yu Chen, Zhenxiao and YY. All damn imbar, except me...Sigh.. Yu chen was almost poledancing on the bar.. Anyway, seems that its been a worry that when the sec 4s leave, CO is gonn suffer. Well, without LAo Zheng, obviously. But really, Sec 1s-3s, have confidence in yourself, the sec 4s are not that pro. Well, its been a long post, so cya again nxtime...

This blog is not dead
Really. To make sure that it is still breathing, I shall take the initiative to post once every few days. Nothing really happened this few days except for steamboat yesterday... which... er... was rather fun. Or fun(ny). The nostril stinging stench of roasted/burnt prawns filled the air towards the end of the steamboat. Some people were geting bored. And not suprisingly, people sitting at the table beside us were roasting the poor prawns over the hole where the charcoal were (pepper was added and the whole thing was hanging on a burnt satay stick plus the whole thing was wrapped in lettuce), We really rewarded ourselves for our hard work with the sumptuous meal (there was shark's fin)... Well maybe the one month break is a good enough reward already... but the first GOLD in eight years is really something that we should be happy about... Nvm... now that we are at this standard already... we should aim higher next time (this goes without saying)... and we have certainly proved to ourselves that we are not a bunch of useless money eaters.
So, this blog is really not dead. Well, at least not with me around.

The "commander"...signing in
Yoiz. Actually my first posting in a blog. Wanted to create a personal one myself...but did not know how to design the site. Haiz.
Anyway, this is Valance. In case no one knows who I am. I am your crazy domineering SL, the worst in many years. Please treat this place as your personal place where you can share about anything regarding your experiences in school or otherwise (explicit content WILL be censored)
Gives me a chance to understand more about you guys and understand the new religion known as Jiayuism.
Thats it, cya folks sometime. And try not to spam?

Tanbo blog finally created!
Yay 弹拨 finally has a blog! Credits to Tam Chun Yin, Eugene Yap, and Yong Kiam (hey it wasn't easy ok).
Hello. We take back our sentence "tanbo is the best section in RICO" and we sincerely apologize for any sense of inferiority and any other effects that may be caused to anybody who reads the false and hasty claim/generalization. This type of thinking really shouldn't exist when we're all in an orchestra where everyone plays a part. =) (we shall stay communist)
