Henry Lamer and the Y2K7 bug
hi everyone! i am back!!! *applause* thank you for ur undying support of Henry Lamer for the past one yr.. very soon, its gonna be the new yr.. i am sure many of u out there like me realise,
"Oh no, the yr is about to end, and i still left so much unfinish stuff!! how!! argh!!!"
haha.. dun worry dudes.. u are not alone.. not literally la.. people always realise, in one yr, unvr seem to have enough time to finish wat u wan to achieve. like wat i like in econs, "there are limited resources to satisfy your unlimited wants." nodding ur head in agreement? haha.. bet you are. But no point crying over unfinished business. might as well welcome the new yr with expectations and hopes yeah? u might nvr know wat u might achieve.. But as my fren grace was kind enough to remind me, "the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment." true, but still, life would me meaningless if u hold no expectation for yourself..
anyway, time for my new yr resolution. *ahem* wait, wat's a resolution ah? crap.. erm.. ah nvm la.. i will type my own version of a resolution. let me do some reflection first. In the past 364 days. i have experience alot fo stuff i had nvr been able to experience in my entire life. i met many frenz, i transformed like a power ranger, i gained new knowledge(i think..), i tested new boundaries(my super cool hairstyle..) etc.. It's amazing one can experience so much in one short yr... ya.. one short yr.. time really flies man, even if u dun throw ur clock out of the window.. very soon, i am gonna be 18, as in really very soon.. for once, i am feeling afraid to be growing older. coz with older age comes greater responsibility. i dun wan that responsibility.. :p haha.. henry is an irresponsible freak.. haha.. no la.. growing older juz means more things do, and greater expectation from parents.. haiz.. enough moaning bout growing older.. imagine how shi yi muz feel.. haha.. ok.. now, i shall list down the top 3 experiences this yr 2006:
1) Games Day
Yup.. surprised? haha.. let me tell you why.. to me, games day was a day where i saw and experience the true 0626, the 0626 during our orientation where we play the web game, the 0626 doing our funny mother cheer. on that day, we were really as one. 26 people, one spirit.(not the supernatural one..) as in, i really felt something special.. it may sound exaggerating, but i really sensed everyone's heart beating together.. no joke.. it felt really very strong.. ya.. the fact that everyone was cheering each other along, everyone was booing the referee, everyone gathered together to "beg" the referee let our class play captain ball together.. all this, really showed the togetherness that really exists but yet seldom shows itself in our class.. the fact that girls who have nvr touched a soccer ball was willing to play a soccer match juz for the team shows how speical our class was.. Therefore, for all these experiences, games day is rank number one on Henry Lamer's billboard charts this yr..
2) LTC
if u read my previous previous post, you will understand why. any event that is worth typing so much about is definitely worth to be on Henry Lamer's billboard charts. shall not write much here coz everything is on that entry. but juz wanna say a few things.. firstly, this camp made me discover myself. made me realise wat i can achieve as long as my mind is set out to it.. i also made a lot of gd frenz in that short period of time.. i understood wat is frenship and wat it meant to help out others. helping others is not a chore or counted as degrading. it is a joy to help out others. so people, be more helpful!! anyway, i really learnt alot.. so its rank number 2.
3) 21.1km half marathon
i need to stress this.. 21.1km.. if u think 21.1km is very little rite, go try running it urself someday. den tell me how is it.. it was tiring, it was experential, it was meaningful. coz similarly, i learnt alot bout myself and she was my main source of motivation.. without her, i wud be walking for the entire thing.. trust me, running such a long distance really test ur mental strength.. therefore, i rank it number 3 on my billboard charts..
In life, there are alot of such experiences for everyone and i am sure u have them too.. there are many more such experiences, but if i were to list them down here one by one, i might as well plug myself onto the computer. maybe there are more major experiences than these. but i cant recall them for the time being.. haha.. too bad.. oh ya, juz to add on to my billboard chart...
4) Retention is a reality, even for henry.
yup.. it is true. ok, i am not trying to boast or anything but, retention was nvr a problem for me.. serious, neither was studies. but for this funny yr, i dunno wat came over me and my studies got erm.. a bit.. out of hand.. as in literally. coz i nvr hold onto my notes for much time.. so juz wanna tell you guys, nothing is impossible, even for negative things like retention. so pls, study hard..
so ya, our lives need this kinda experiences to make it more colorful. ok, the retention one we can do without.. i mean the other ones.. oh ya, i juz rmbed all the voluntary work also very meaningful.. ah crap, see? u are getting irritated that i keep popping up with new billboard candidates rite? told you i cant list all my experiences down.. i will stop.. ok.. i think thats all for 2006 ba.. oh ya, wait.. as the saying goes, "no man is an island." therefore, i need to thank some people.. hehe.. bear wif me.. if not, u can can press the emergency button on the top rite hand corner of this window.. the one that looks like a cross, to exit..
Actually, there are many people to thank.. similarly, if i were to thank every of those people, i can plug the computer into me. so i shall juz thank these special grp of people whom i see even more than my parents.. omg.. yup.. i dun mean the soccer players i see on tv. i mean another grp, 23 of them to be exact.. haha.. i guess if u are one of them, u know where i am getting to.. in no particular order.. *ahem*.. ok, i was lying.. in alphabetical order..
Adeline: hmmm.. self proclaimed winnie the pooh.. haha.. now the whole world is gonna know bout that.. u better thank me for publicising for you.. haha.. anyway, thanks for being bubbly in class.. unbelievably, we can in the same class for one whole yr, although i dun talk to you very often, every conversation we had was fun.. haha.. to end off, thanks for being a great classmate!! keep up the poo thing.. oops.. i mean pooh.. and i think you can dance!! see u nxt yr!! oh ya, and thanks for ur chocolate!

Henry Lamer and the Two Thingys
hi all.. i am finally back to blog again.. sorry for the wait.. coz i was in "KL" a few dyas ago.. i know most of you are dying to know bout my adventure.. trust me, i am dying to tell u all bout my adventures too.. but i feel that i am not doing you guys justice by juz NARRATING my adventure. i wan to put some photos too!! but my darn com clearly has other ideas. so i cant put them yet. so when one day my patience lvl increase, i will post them yeah?
Meanwhile, i shall talk about some interesting stuff.. its about growing up.. i dunno whether u guys notice but.. not only do ppl changed in their personality when growing up, but also in their looks.. i dun mind the natural one, i mean the unnatural one.. let me tell you more...
GUYS
everyone start out little, guys too.. but as guys grow older, after the age of 7. u will notice this.. as they grow taller, their HAIR will grow taller with them too. AND, their pants, for some reason, will go lower down their hips. AND, their socks, will shrink too.. den after the age of late twenties maybe, their pants will go higher again, and their hair will start sitting down.. their socks will grow longer with their age too.
GIRLS
for girls, hair wise is rather normal, but there are exceptions of standing hairs as well.. however, it is easy to tell a young girl from an older girl. coz age is proportionate to number of ear holes. i dun mean the natural one, i mean those u poke. also, like guys, their socks also shrink as they grow older. however, unlike guys, their skirts go higher. WAIT! how can that be? that's abnormal! of course not.. its perfectly normal. their skirts go up, not at the hip area, but the knee area.
So in conclusion, the relationship between a person's age and the length of his/her skirt/pants/socks is actually like the lower part of the sine(or is it cosine?) curve.. hmmm.. so life is all about mathematics afterall.. haiz...
Henry Lamer and the Fast and the Furious
Hi everyone.. i am finally back to blog again.. reason being quite a lot of stuff happened and i wan to share with u guys. and at the same time, i wun be in singapore for the next one week so, so i wun haven chance to blog.. haha..
Event one: Singapore rock
Singapore rock is basically an event organised by hi5, a youth organisation and ISCOS. It took place on 2 dec. it is for old folks to experience a diso nite environment, making them feel younger.. haha.. i think the event is very interesting.. i enjoyed dancing with the elderlys. and the elderly i was partnered with was the dancing queen!! how cool is that?!! haha.. u guys shud go try out more vlountary work too.. really enriches ur life.
Event two: Standard Chartered Marathon 2006
This took place on the day after the singapore rock, which is on 3 dec. the singapore rock ended at ten plus the previous day. so i had less then 6 hours to slp!! i took part in the half marathon whick was around 21km. sounds very little rite? try running it urself.. i woke up at around 4am that day and took a chartered bus to the venue. i took around 2h 48 mins to run and ranked 3368.. haha.. really lousy. but my leg cramped for the last 3km or so.. so i limped all the way past the finishing line. but i felt really satisfied. muz thank her for motivating me.. thank you!
for you..
Event three: Malay wedding
This took place almost immediately after the marathon. So i had to bear with the pain and accompany my mum to her malay collegue's sister's wedding.. haha.. it was a totally cool experience! i think i prefer it more compared to the chinese wedding style. The malay wedding style is so much more harmonious and more together.. and they even give us cakes to thank us for coming. it's like they feel it's a honour people attend ur wedding.. i was still telling my parents whether i can hold a malay style wedding nxt time.. at a void deck.. haha..
Basically, these are the three main events which i took part in in the past one week.. really enriched my life a lot. and i also realise how impt she is to me.. ya.. haha.. gonna miss her when i go overseas today.. to the rest of u, have fun guys and it doesnt matter how long you live, but it matters how u live ur life.. see ya!!!
