Ok, here's the post about the "kursus kepimpinan" in Eagle Ranch Port Dickson. Everyone arrived in school about 8++am. Before we left, we were divided into groups: Cat, Wolf, Frog and Harimau. Don't ask me why such weird animals were chosen or why only harimau is in BM, because I really don't know. Anyway, I'm the leader of the Cat group (me, Kuan Jon, Ivan, Pragha, Sakthi) , a.k.a "the pussies". Keat Tong was in Frog, Jay was in Wolf and Kyle was in Harimau. All separated. Damn.
We had to fill in some forms containing some info about our group members like what is every members' weight, birthday, shoe size etc. Jay filled in the "umur" column with 17 October and then was stuck at the "tarikh lahir" column. Ahahaha.
The bus ride was OK. We listened to songs all the way and towards the end of the journey, I took out my speakers (powered by batteries) and we sang and made a lot of noise behind the bus. Really nice syok sendiri moment.
Kyle and Keat Tong.
When we reached, we checked in at the reception.
Then, we went to our dormitory.
10 double-decker beds in a hall. 20 guys in a hall. LOL. Puan Faridah, her family and Mei Yee (the only girl on the trip) slept in tepees.
Then, we got to lepak around for like 4 hours. The good thing about Eagle Ranch (which is the place we had this camp) is it has go-karting, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a basketball court, paint-ball, archery, horse-riding etc. Too many things to do in so little time.
So, upon Jay's proposal, we decided to go to the beach first. Jay even brought his guitar there. But it turns out, the beach was really like a bitch. Instead of sand, there was mud. Instead of the sea, there was only a good imitation of the Klang river. So we decided to go go-karting. Jay stayed at the beach with Kuan Jon. oooolala. ;P. Go-karting costs RM20 for 5 laps, which in reality was a big rip-off. But heck we still did it. AND IT ROCKED. So we raced again. XD
After racing, we met Jay and Kuan Jon (hhmmmm) and went to play basketball. But in the end the weather was too hot, so we went to swim. Played water polo with the other guys. We lost. Aiks.
After swimming, we did the first planned activity of the trip: Jungle trekking. We had a briefing first.
bored....
My team and Keat Tong's team combined forces for the task. We dubbed ourselves, the "pussy frogs".
the "pussy frogs"
Then, off we went. The jungle was really......jungle. Not many clear paths. But still, we got to the first check-point all right. However, because I made a mistake with the compass, we were about 5 off the end-point. But we still made it before the other combined team. Ahahaha. This is where we were supposed to come out.
We came out here.
After jungle trekking, we went...go-karting! Whheeee!!!!
Then, we had baths and went swimming. Then had baths again and ate dinner. Kyle and Jay swam until dinner, so they ate half-naked.

After dinner, we had some teamwork activities.
The "pussy frogs" combined quite a number of times. And we won quite a number of times.
First activity: standing up together. We failed.
Second activity: Human caterpillar. We won! Third activity: Building cup-piramid with rubber band and rafia string. We won!
Last activity: Human snake. We failed. After the activities, we had a picnic! Puan Faridah brought Maggi Mee and nuggets, together with bowls, cutlery, and portable cookers. She cooked the Maggi Mee and Shen Kai cooked the nuggets.
Shen Kai: the nugget master.
While eating, the guys played basketball half-naked. LOL.
more 18-sx
After the picnic, we went back to the dorm. Everyone before the trip said they didn't want to sleep that night. All total bullshit. Everyone was tired and we all slept in the end. Kyle slept the last, around 3am. Alvin woke up the earliest around 4am. Haha.
We were supposed to wake up at 7am but because of rain, we got to sleep till 8am. Had breakfast at 8.30am.
Then, we had our next activity: the obstacle course. Damn hard.
Log walking.
Rope swinging.
Monkey bar.
Monkey bar II: helping Sakthi do it.
Crawling under spiky stuff.
Rope walking.
dick crusher Log climbing.
Bar swinging.
More log climbing.
Balancing.
Tunnel-crawling.
Walking on platforms.
Climbing 5-foot wall.
Climbing 8-foot wall.
It was hard to get Sakthi across the course (particularly carrying him over the walls) but together, me, Kuan Jon, Ivan and Pragha managed to do it. We finished slowest; our time was double Keat Tong's group's time.
After the obstacle course, we went...go-karting! Paint ball was only allowed for 18 above people, so we couldn't do it.
DANGER
This is Jay Min. He drives like a mad man. People brake at corners, Jay Min accelerates. He crashed twice during the race: once, almost bringing me with him, the second, banging Keat Tong into the tyre wall. Armageddon = the day Jay gets his driving license. ;P
After that, we went swimming and played water polo again. Then, we bathed and packed up. Had lunch and then went home.
All in all it was a really fun trip. Funny because it was more of a holiday than a "kursus kepimpinan" and because the people who attended it were sporting and crazy.
Kursus Kepimpinan Eagle Ranch 2007.
Kudos!

Came back from the motivation camp just now. IT ROCKED TO THE MAX. Seriously. Fun, exciting, entertaining and still funny. Will update about it soon (I haven't uploaded the pics and I'm too tired). Till next time guys.
I'm sick. I lost my voice after prom and got flu on Saturday. Then, I started coughing on Sunday. Now, you can hear me sniffing and coughing every 2-3 seconds. Heck, I even had to skip watching movies with the guys today. Damn.
Since I'm going for the kepimpinan(yea rite...) camp on Friday, I have to get healthy soon. So, I'm now on full medication.
Even with the extra boost from the medicine, it feels very hard to get well. You know why?
My fridge has that.
My freezer has that.
And there's also those oh-so-addictive brownies.
Aiyo....how am I to get better with so many sweet stuff distractions lying around the house, screaming: "Eat me Sean! EAT ME!". Pure torture wei.
Curse you, you little, evil, disease-causing micro-thingys.

Prom's over. Now looking back, preparing for prom was actually quite fun - ignoring the stress and scoldings.
I think prom went OK. Not the smoothest it could go, but at least it proceeded without much complications. For us anyway. I think Sam had a mental breakdown. Cool down lar amah. Later you become cuckoo-like-Lin-Cze then cham liao.
I made a few mistakes during the dance but I think it turned out OK. I made a mistake during my saxophone performance but Yiing Ren (you are a freaking genius!) smartly covered it up. So that was also OK. The other performances were great! Loved the dances~
Congrats to Eugene and Michelle on becoming Acmarian royalty! Congrats to Brandon and Amanda on winning Best Dress!
That's it I think. I'm too lazy to write more and my computer's too laggy to upload pics. Haha. Sorry people.
Before I finish, I would like to say thanks to everybody who made Prom Nite 2007: Las Vegas Walk of Fame happen. ~YOU GUYS ROCK~

For those who don't know, I have sweaty palms. Yes, I admit it. My palms sweat out more water than my little brother when he pees. It's pretty disgusting at times really. And last time, it kept making my fingers slipping off the piano keys. Since my exam was coming, my parents bought me some powder to dry my hands up. But in the end, I still failed. No biggie there.
But now when I read the back of the powder bottle after not using it since my piano exam, I saw some thing wrong. Actually to tell you the truth, I did not read the label at all...until now.
Bloody shit. I've been rubbing pussy powder on my hands.
Prom's stressful. Cards, souvenirs, and everything else is stressful. And it's taking it's toll. My brain has changed from...
to...
It's making my place messier.
Even spiderpig is cleaner than that.
It's turning Elvina to plastic.
It's driving Jay Min up a wall.
After seeing this picture, Adidas canceled Jay Min's sponsorship contract.
It's turning Phillip gay-er.
Holy crap.
And it's making other people go cuckoo.
Man-I-Shave is MAN-I-SHAve
God, I can't wait for Friday to be over.

Im back! Assessment's over and I dont think I did myself enough justice. Argh screw that. Prom's coming and I've been busy preparing for that. I've been making souvenirs and it's hard work. Some people helped a lot, some a bit, some not at all. But nevermind, we're finishing. :). Stupid souvenirs better be worth while - I got like 5 freaking cuts on my fingers for making them, 3 of which are pretty deep and oozing...
Watched The Simpsons and Disturbia on Saturday. Good movies. Simpsons because it was funny; I never laughed that much in a movie before. A must-watch, no difference whether on pirated dvd or in the cinema, but definitely a must-watch. Disturbia was good because it has a super fine, hot, chunted, sexy, comparable-to-Megan Fox actress. Name's Sarah Roemer. Hot x100000. That stupid, si-bei-ham-sap-giaShia LaBeouf (or whatever his name is) makes me envious. Why is it that he gets to act beside sexy actresses in all the movies he acts in? Tranformers get Megan Fox, Disturbia get Sarah Roemer. Jealous lar.....
I'm skipping school tomorrow because I got saxophone exam. XD. Oooops, I mean >o<. God help me.
