Two can be as bad as one
Valentine’s Day cupcakes
by Chai Leng’s mum
It’s the loneliest number since the number one♪
It doesn’t actually feel like Valentine’s Day today. Why?
1. Since I lost my feelings towards somebody, there was no need to write another letter. Last year’s experience was rather nice, though.
2. Most of my friends are single. They may have greeted me “Happy Valentine’s Day!”, but I positively reply with “Happy SAD [Day]!”. To those who don’t know why it’s “SAD”, allow me to explain.
“SAD” could either stand for Singles Awareness Day OR Single And Desperate. Hey, the couples can go and get all their lovin’ they want like nobody cares, but we single people could make fun of ourselves at the same time.
“Some want to remind romantic couples that they don’t need to be in a relationship to celebrate life.” – Wikipedia
3. There were quite a number of food give-aways from different people. From chocolate to cookies, truffles to muffins, your tongue will be begging for mercy from the sweetness. Water is highly vital to revive one’s tongue.
Chocolate causes scurvy
A friend’s mouth, cropped to prevent shame
and er..those aren’t braces
Enough of Valentine’s, here are the photos of my contributions which I promised to put up..
I came up with the phrase “GAMMA-MIA!” while listening to ABBA’s Mamma-Mia!
I took those photos too..24 out of 25 photos, actually
Our interactive birthday chart..which I’d rather call The Gamma Birthday Ray
‘Twas a tough picture to cut, and I did not make those blue bubbles
Good song, with the most non-sensical yet catchy lyrics
..aaaand Mario is swimming beside our motto. I knew that I should’ve added..
..some Bloopers and Cheep Cheeps.
Forget red roses. They’re so cliché. Haven’t you heard of…
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
The modem lives, and greater procrastination awaits…
Some of the few occurences throughout January and a bit of February:
one 4 Gamma ‘08 has got the spirit. The DECORATIVE spirit. Our theme was “Underwater” (and once, our class teacher, Mr Perumal said “Underworld”)
“You summoned me?”
As a fan of the Beatles, I was tempted to contribute some drawings based on the songs “Octopus’ Garden”, “I Am The Walrus” and “Yellow Submarine”. I wasn’t even forced to draw the said things. I’ll find time to take photos of the class decoration soon enough.
two It’s rather coincidental for me to be given three tasks related to designing this year. I had to design the new school band uniform (yay?), the Green House shirt and just a wee bit of the Green House cheerleading costume. Not that I’m going to take clothes designing in the future, although I’m quite unsure of what kind of art I wish to take (initially wanted animation..perhaps I should just stick to it)
three My trusty D40 is now hardly suitable for taking pictures of anything that’s white in colour. Although I tried to wipe out the dust inside by myself, the dust bunnies won’t seem to disappear. I guess the best thing to do is live with it and use the wonders of Adobe Photoshop. Ironically, I was chosen to be one of the photographers for the school’s Editorial Board. I never thought that I’d be involved in other societies besides the School Band and Green House.
The major con of DSLRs (in my opinion). It needs professional cleaning..really bad
four The Band Festival was cancelled this year, somehow. It better not happen again next year.. 
five I was very fascinated by the German language..I even bought myself a Lonely Planet’s German phrasebook. Hey, it’s at least much different than the common stuff people want to learn here (Japanese and Korean, for example). Savvy?
I’ll end here. The monthly test is just around the corner..the corner which is not visible to any pair of eyes…(sorry if that sounded very complicated to you heh)
