Yup I'm back with the boys to go. It's really funny how time passes so quickly, and how something which appears to be infinite is actually so fragile.

My aunt died this morning.

I don't know what to say. For once I am at a complete loss of words. I don't know, I don't feel sad, I feel a strange sense of detachment.

I don't know, ok? Do you know the guilt you feel when someone who is supposed to be family yet you don't know them very well and they die and you know sorrow is supposed to be hanging over your eyes like a film of slime but you don't feel anything? They say detachment isn't a gift, and frankly I prefer it this way as compared to feeling something.

I realise that what I write comes true. Odd coincidence, no?

You never cried at their funeral, hell you’ve never attended. No last word, no goodbyes, no flowers left on the crematorium jar. Your conscience weeps for you as it tears your mind apart.

- I’m busy, you said. No time for
Funerals. -

-Cry In The Rain (vignettes)

Nevermind. Before I deviate, let's get on with the guys. This is going to be succinct, because I hardly know any of you. I know that self-image is now considerably important to guys, and a tip that you al should really consider is, no matter whether you have BO or not (which most of you have, I'm not gonna say who, other girls will agree with me) PLEASE wear deodorant unless you want to smell like you haven't bathed in one year. Smelling pleasant in important to create good impressions, you know.


22. Hong Kai

You are really quite quiet, but you really love the flute. Yay fellow flautist! I can tell that you like the instrument for you kept blowing into pen caps, improving your embouchure. You say it is boredom, I say it's dedication. You claim to be a loner, but look around you, you are surrounded by people with warm hearts. Never be afraid to open your heart and accept others. Remember: It is not others who want to alienate you, rather it is you who refuse to open your heart and let them in. Don't do anything you regret.



23. Mon Hsien

Another quiet guy. Sigh. They say you are preverse, but frankly I can't see that side of you. No offense but you always came across as a gentle, good-humoured person who loves reading Stephen King. I've read your essays, and I think your command of English is relatively strong. Learn to build up your paragraphs for a better essay. I remeber during Chinese drama class last year we had the pleasure of having you in our group during one activity, and you cooperated willingly without much fuss.



24. Po Yang

You know, if you looked more masculine you'l be a perfect bishounen. And it's a compliment. You are a very obliging person (considering how you consentd to dress up as a girl in last year's chinese drama night) and are a dependable person in your social group. I think that you are well-loved by friends. Don't worry about being called sissy, ok? Men nowadays are insensitive chavunistic pigs, so it's good you're mild. Besides, mildness is appreciated in the progressive modern man. You work well with others, so continue and enjoy doing so. I'll miss you and your antics next year.



25. Gao Xiang

You are really very argumentative and competitive, despite the fact that you aren't good in English, you enthusiastically participate in debates. I can tell that you are very passionate about your country, and you are proud of your identity. Oh, and please don't stuff your wallet at the back pocket where it's clearly visible, it makes me get itchy-handed and want to pickpocket xD. Thanks for not flaring up at me when I attempted to sneak your wallet up =D.



26. Xian Wei



Another difficult one. Uhm...wait lemme think...

Ok. Xian Wei, though you like to groom yourself and make sure you look your best (considering how you kept shaking your head like a dog in class to create the windswept look) I suggest that, to enhance your charm, maybe you should consider your choice of fragrance. You are a loyal friend (and a rather sensitive and emotional one too, from what you say on your blog) and you really care for your friends. Do have more confidence in yourself and refrain from howling 'Sure fail one!' at the end of every test. Because if you are convinced you will fail, trust me, you will. Try saying, 'Sure pass one!' next time, and you will feel motivated to study(works for me anyway).



27. Larry

Bloody hell, when did you grow so tall? I feel kinda insulted now that I am shorter than all of you T.T I don't know you very well, but you seem to be overemotional. Rein in your emotions, and be self-assured. I think that you have matured over the past year. Er, good luck in the future.



28. Ning Feng

You're really direct. Do control yourself sometimes, because what seems to be funny to you may not be funny to toehrs. However, you really are amusing, especially when you deliberately read an English passage in a certain manner. Happily, we share a mutual understanding of THE beloved sheep. You are really trying hard at English (and that vocab assessment book of yours was...ahem), and your arguments are good, just try not to repeat your points over and over again in an essay. I crown you the king of foul language, because ever since Sec one when I and HuiTing sat behind you, I learnt a plethora of chinese fould words. I would never have been exposed to them without you, hence you have my gratitude. Now I have a wider vocab =D



...Is that supposed to be a good thing for a girl?

Who cares. I'm not gonna live by society's rules. IN YOUR FACE, SOCIETY! Moving on.



29. Xiao Chen

Another walking Chinese dictionary. I have a request: can I have your fluent command of Chinese? I really really want it...especially how the words seem to roll of your tongue. I don't know why, but my tongue just seems to butcher the words. You seem to be more down-to-earth than Ning Feng, that's why you make a great pair (of friends) I suppose, because opposites attract. lol.



30. Jin Wee



Sorry, I really don't know you. You stick to yourself and have very few friends save the company of the guys from China. You might want to lose the crew cut though-- it looks like you entered a concentration camp. You give me the impression that you are the devil-may-care type.



Sorry I really don't know what to say.



31. Jun Yan

You are really very friendly and helpful. Thanks for helping me sort out the English files and attempting to teach me some Japanese. I'm about as intelligent as a wooden block when it comes to Japanese grammar though. You are really quite intelligent, considering how you consistently perform well. I really admire your doggedness in clearing up misunderstandings and defending your friend. Lawyer's letter, eh? Do consider taking up law -- we'll see each other at NUS then. Then I can compete with you to see who earns the most $$! Yay.

32. Javier

HA-vier! I didn't know that it was pronounced that way until Mrs Ho showed us the video. Like JoJoba oil liddat. Affectionately nicknamed 'Chrysanthemum' by class!(Onions you know why right?)

Lemme get this off my chest first:

JAVIER YOU GREAT INSUFFERABLE PRICK! HOW CAN YOU THROW SOMETHING AT A GIRL'S CHEST?! (Yes I still remember that incident ok?)

Ok lah don't dwel on unhappy incidents if not then I will need another voodoo doll. And scowling is bad for the complexion.

I admit I had a bad impression of you at first, and was already imagining you dangling by the thumbs to a very painful death, but then (luckily for you) I discovered that you had a great sense of humour. I like people with a sense of humour =D. They are better then people who behave with a stick up their arse. Anyway, it was really sweet of you to write individual messages to the whole class, and it made me feel guilty (dunno why) so I had to write this. Your attitude is really discouraging to people who want to know you, but I'm sure you're a nice person to be around. You seem to be forgiving and a source of comfort and encouragement to your friends.

33. Nigel

IDKY. Well, you are really passionate about music and singing, and your spoken English is good. However you are really quite reticent. You seem to be the morose teen, but cheer up, the world isn't against you. Enjoy life to the fullest and don't dwell on unhappy things ok?

34. Zi Han

I have no friggin' idea why my girl friends seem to think that we are a good match *rolls eyes* but we aren't, because it's a bloody recepie for disaster, and pigs would fly and hell would freeze over. But then again it would have been interesting (I'm referring to hell freezing over, mind you). You are like Javier, really good sense of humour. You have the potential for leadership. (Yes, I realise now I'm taking the backseat to observe everyone, because being in second place means that you can see the political workings.) Thank you for being so thoughtful and delivering handwritten notes to the whole class (hand written! *pang of guilt*). I know that this is a pale imitation of what you slogged over. Anyway, thank you for helping me in IT club, even though we didn't really talk a lot or interacted much. I guess I will miss you and your deadpan tone (seriously never in my whole life have I met someone who talks in a monotone, like Professor Binns) as well as your heated exclamations of protest during beloved Sheep's lesson. It provided me with a little joy during Chinese lessons to know that at least the sentiment that Chinese is complete and utter drudgery is shared. Angelica will miss you, lol. NOOO ANGELICA DON'T KILL ME!

35. Wei Bo

You seem to be rather mild-mannered. I'm flattered really that you regard me as some sort of saving grace for reference in the Art project (where I had to do analysis for the whole group of guys), but you should try on your own and work harder. Don't be afraid to experiment with English, ok? Just keep trying, and you'll be good at it. I can give you tuition for English in exchange for tuition in Chinese! There, we both benefit, because my chinese really stinks.

36. Kah Yong

You really like football, don't you? When I first visited your blog I was overwhelmed by the many images of soccer players...I didn't read your posts then because I didn't understand zilch about soccer. I admit that IDKY very well, but apparently you aren't the very good-boy type. It's too late to get to know you better as a classmate of friend, though. I must say that you are an interesting character. Do you mind if I use you as reference in future works?

37. Zi Yu

ARRGHH I DUNNO. We just don't communicate. But I'm sure that you do better on sports than studies, because you are always off to some competition during Project Work. Put in the same effort you put at sports in your studies, and I'm sure you'll excel. Do the school proud when you win something, ok? Don't let yourself, or your academic ambitions down too by focusing too much on sports!

38. Timothy

I remember that I was surprised to learn that you were in the top 10 in class last year, because you had the pai-kia look about you. Anyway, cannot judge a book by its cover right? You can achieve much if you are determined to, so jia you.

YES LAST ONE TO GO!

39. Heng Kang

Eh, I dunno what to say about you. Let's just say you have an intersting fashion sense and a way of speaking. Kooky almost. You put in a lot of effort in class, and participate actively. I can't give you tips in scoring well, but I can tell you that if you want ot score well for English, instead of focusing on vocabulary, focus on your grammar. Sometimes a good essay need not be constructed from complicated words, you have to rely on describing and arguments. Enthusiasm is a good thing, but try eo keep it in check when it's not needed, ok? Because being too enthusiastic might repel others. Good luck in your studies.

YES FINISHED. NO NEED FOR PROSE HURRAY BECAUSE MUSE JUST REFUSES TO COOPERATE.
