Now, every family should have a family history, no? So. Our family was formed earlier this year when our (soon to be) fps mentor ms may tan asked if any of us would like to try out fps! And so our family was formed. Audrye, Huimin, Chris-Tin and Shuting.
Since march we have battled through problems, underlying problems, solutions, criteria, ranking and action plans, at the same time braving global warming, freedom of speech and most recently, nutrition.
Our unofficial meeting venue was always Chris-tin's house, and in the process, all of us gained weight with all the many many many marks and spencers cookies and ruffles we had! So much for learning about all the transfat.
It was in this intellectual environment that chemical bonding took place! In the end, we officially became the fps family, which can withstand high temperatures without any change in state. XD
A note about the name! reverse electrolysis was one of our action plans! and fps stands for Future Problem Solving!
Did you know? Chris-Tin killed the blog the first time because she didnt know that half the html for the blog was cut off, and she saved the template changes! so she had to do it all over again. ):

i woke up 35 minutes ago, so im being slacker FIRST. HAHA. tomorrow, we're going to either be very happy, or very sad. i hope it's the former. despite all the trials and tribulations (WOAHHHHH gp owns!) we've gone through, i can honestly HONESTLY say that i love fps. i love the very idea of fps. it makes me feel like for once, we can finally say really stupid things and be rewarded for it. instead of following a rigid structured answer. e.g.
AI: there was no anomaly.
R1: there was no need to repeat the experiment.
R2: all results followed the trend of .... Readings were consistent between replicates and reproducible between repeats.
S:
the fact that this is a fps family (rather i guess, a shuting-christin) blog, lends weight to my claim that fps is incredible (now we shift to pw eom mode). i mean, even now we still can laugh about ridiculous solutions that we came up with brainstorming in starbucks. i miss us together.
no more lame jokes.

i quote yuezhen,"AHAHA! YOU'RE PLAYING CATCHER???" ): okay i swear i was not THAT BAD. not THAT bad la. the ump was real nice to me i think he could tell that i wasnt very familiar with the position (or maybe it was because i apologised for stepping on his foot oops). anyway catcher is an amazingly fun position, but i couldnt throw alot because of NON-COVERAGE OF BASES 0o omg. i miss jing and her super speedy dash to three. but now i think i can understand the stress sixian goes through esp when its bases loaded. XD
i actually enjoyed the game with NTU, finally made a hit that i can be marginally proud of yay. three base over centre field. still, after i hit the ball i could actually feel the lack of energy 0o. it was more like 100% contact 30% power. damn.
now i shall elaborate on one very significant event! runner on one, two down. the runner on one took a considerable lead so i THREW to aunty hweemien at 1. and i totally overthrew it. as usual. so the runner ran and ran and ran and headed for home. THEN a freak nice throw comes in from (forgot who) and i could tag the runner in time. HOWEVER, she slid into me (i quote yuezhen again "the first time you ever got run down! -big grin-") and hit, well. better left unsaid. it was very painful okay!!! then i like the idiot i was started crying but fortunately that half inning was over so i was spared from the traumatic experience of continuing catching. anyway look on the bright side, uncle micky FINALLY TOOK A NICE GLAM PICTURE OF ME XD
shuting finally got to play today! i think ora sometimes is quite 0o about its players. she got hit by a ball on the chin though, when trying to bunt (by the way she was standing, i was quite scared that she forgot to take the signal XD). but omggg that is going to be the last time she's ever going to touch her glove and ball and bat ): and i am sad.
we lost but OH WELL. it was fun at least. and i wish i wasnt standing in such a..vulnerable position when the runner was coming but its part of the game right? rarrrrr owwwwwwww. and it HAD TO BE.. okay nvmind.
we went to kfc after that for our.. pre dinner snack. yummyyyyy. okay and now i have to do chem chem chem which i dont really understand but who cares YA?
combinedschools is going to make us play slowpitch for the next two weekends. but okay la whatever i want my colours. jerseys are nice this year, but STILL NO WINDBREAKER >< no one ever wants to fund softball teams.

i HATE the fact that i have to see your pompous, self absorbed, chauvinistic face every single day and believe me, these are EUPHEMISMS. do you know what euphemisms are? a Euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener. but wait, did it offend you already? oh darn i totally didnt mean to do that. sorry if i trampled all over your delicate little feelings. do you even have feelings though? a little smite of conscience? or are they beyond your realm of understanding that only stretches to a daily treatise on the latest soccer (whatever that is). you are an amazing kid. its amazing that with your myopic view of society that no one has managed to whack you around the head with a soccer ball.
i feel sorry for you poor archeaic being. perhaps you shouldnt be on the top of the food chain like all the rest of us. but maybe thats because if you were on the lower levels, no one would be able to eat anything off you even if they scraped your bones with a 1 picometer thin toothpick. what a waste of precious resources. the world has food shortages you know. anyway, no one would want to eat your head omg it would tickle your oesophagus going down. if you were a prokaryote like a bacterium, you'd be spreading your vile genome all over the place. its okay though, i'll be waiting with moldy oranges.
wouldn't it be nice?

i don't really know how to put it
it's like, suddenly you realise that it's very quiet after all
press pause on your music player, what do you hear?
sounds that don't really involve you, unless you want them to involve you
otherwise it's silent
you're silent
you stay silent
you could be with a bunch of crazy friends
run run camwhore!
but it's still silent
where has the noise gone to?
then you realise that you've been tuned to accept one wavelength only
as short as a gamma ray or as long as a radiowave
or a microwave if you're trying to cook
and hey! you knew it all along
so you decide that you don't like it
don't like the omnipresent over-reliant microwave
because the lousy microwave spoils sometimes
and your deliciously roasted chicken doesn't get heated so you get angry
why get angry
when you can make friends with the stove!
the stove is some good stuff
it has a FIRE
wow!
we all love stoves except if you're teenyweeny and can't reach it, of course
and so that's how your chicken gets heated up in the end
this is your guide to using the microwave, brought to you by a very intelligent me(:

it was the livestrong song that started it.
then by some invisible force, i reached up to pick up that photoalbum; guess i was thinking about you.
then gp notes (i cant believe gp notes can make me cry) about brain death. i lost it. whenever permanent vegetative state popped out from the paper i just kept thinking about my grandfather. about the last time i saw him. taken down into a normal ward from the icu because everyone thought it was best. because it was a gone case. about how my mummy told me to say goodbye to him because there probably wasnt going to be a next time. and how i couldnt even say goodbye properly. and how i never ever cried for him in front of anyone else. like i was indifferent.
if there's anyone that needs to go, take me with you instead.

playing hilarious word games after dinner in vila'ge. spent $82 for 5 people and ate... (lets see) calamari rosti with chicken sausage and fried egg ham and cheese crepe pizza chicken breast mango waffle with strawberry icecream and 6 drinks (orange grenadine longan chinchow strawberry "smoochie" green apple juice and a horrible tasting soyabean!) then we decided to relive history and play that game where you're not supposed to form a word. lpeedy is a word! so is surrenderin' and of course you know that big boat with the huge sails? obviously that is a YEACT!
class adventure camp. shant say more.
only three people in the entire room knew what this meant haha. but it was GOOD. yum.
i have no regrets about my groundbreaker.
Maybe Tonight, Maybe Tomorrow
I heard the news today. It came out of nowhere.
I wish I could run away,
but where would I go?
Is this my destiny? Something so unfair... What will become of me?
God only knows.
And they say the road to heaven might lead us back through hell.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, we will win this fight and bury this sorrow.
We're so alive, still holding on, not ready to die, so we LIVESTRONG.
My pride is left for dead, as my world gets shaken.
The thoughts inside my head are so hard to control.
I am staring down the unknown, but one thing is certain.
You could break my body, but you will never break my soul.
And they say the road to heaven might leads us back through hell, but we're holding on for more
than stories to tell.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, we will win this fight and bury this sorrow.
We're so alive, still holding on, not ready to die, so we LIVESTRONG.

NATIONAL DAY IS COMING!!!! guess it'll feel kinda weird not rushing off on the 8th to NSRCC. and not fussing over the bbq stuff, water bombings, amazing race stuff, (sprained ankles!!!) and retarded activities. worrying whether there was going to be enough space to sleep if i invited the juniors (:
but the best one still happened in 2004. serious. i think we all came away from that one more bonded than ever; what with our mass bowling sessions where yuezhen and gen managed to kill all the fish in the longkang; oobleck babies; giant watergun which was (ahem) an IMPLEMENT in the entire washing up of the porch (after all the cornstarch and all); and cooling off at night in the heat of the bbq, and the cool breeze. and the cutting of the cake! it said, "eat if you love hammies". and nicola just decided to make the provision that for that day only, she would love hammies. ping missed the phototaking because she took so long to SHOWER. terrible girl. talking until 3:FORTY in the morning. just about stuff. and no one wanted to sleep because it was so fun. woke up in the morning (after locking the earlybirds out who actually wanted to watch the sunrise or something) and watched baseball on espn, and just lay around talking about stuff. i remember very clearly that yuezhen was telling me about the village. call this materialistic but i think the presents me and gen received that day were so incredibly thoughtful. and the best part of it was: what better birthday than to share it with your best friend?
genjesscolazhenpingkarenjinghanyunyiandme. hammiefriends forever.
gen the hammie god / Dr Leong
xtin the assistant hammie god
ping the fruitella eating goose
ros burger
cola the coke dispensing machine

i REFUSE, point blank, to start mugging for chem spa until 830. that effectively gives me 7 minutes to blog! hurrah.
6 minutes: my pw group effectively has 3 members. how awesome is that? guys in rj are seriously the worst people on the entire earth. no, correction. certain guys are seriously aggorant egoistic TURN OFFS.
5 minutes: adding on to my list of pet peeves - the word, the completely useless, blindingly inappropriate word "euu". which technically isnt a word, but heck, it's supposed to mean "you". and NEVERMIND that it is NOT a short form (count the letters man) it sounds like "eww". in fact, i stand corrected. it does not sound LIKE eww, it totally shares the SAME PRONOUNCIATION as it. seriously, tell me THE POINT.
4 minutes: i think i should have just QUIT SRP. I HATE SRP I HATE GOING TO THE FREAKING COLD/HOT LAB TO CARRY OUT POINTLESS PCRS THAT DONT WORK OUT ANYWAY AND I HATE THE FACT THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS SO SLACK BUT WHAT CAN I DO ITS MY H3 AND ITS INDIVIDUAL AND I'VE PUT SO MUCH EFFORT INTO THIS AND ITS NOT MY BLOODY FAULT THERES NO RESULT ITS AN LOM (god i still can joke about bio spa -.-) AND
