We were all told to sit in a circle and each of us were required to draw or write down the three things in our life that changed us the most... it was rather interesting as in the two hours went by pretty fast and we all got to know each other better...
And i bet it was fun throwing the Girraffe around right? Not talking bout u samuel...
SO i decided to write down three events that CHANGED the class the most....
1) PAE.... Thats when we all came down together for the first time... when we had the earliest contact with each other and the ice between us was still there....
2) The takashimaya seoul garden trip... dat was perhaps when we were closer and we finally began to feel the warmth of the class...
3) AND FINALLY... THE LAST EVENT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE ALL TIMES WE SPENT TOGETHER... Like thet lwin said... it cant be described.... and cant be drawn... its in all of our hearts...
PRESLEY....^______^

alright, finally we arrived at bugis! mr. heng treated us to fried chicken cutlet from the pasah malang nearby!! thks! ;) quite nice. anyway then we walk walk walk for quite some time before reaching our first station-the famous Kuan Im Temple! (i bought a mint ice-cream along the way)
anyway very funny lo... u know whats the two questions for the Kuan Im Temple station? 1. what's the closing time of the temple on weekdays? oh come on... thats like so non-heritage lo... haha. and u can see the signboard that we got our answer from in the pic above (blocked by shi ling head though...) 2. what is the main deity being worshipped in the temple? omg! i mean what the lo... its like who else other than Kuan Im? ... in the end for 'safety' reasons, we got shi ling to go in and checked see whether really Kuan Im or not... haha. guess what? the answer is The Thousand Hands Kuan Im! oh ok... thank God we went to checked then... haha. anyway next stop was the Sri ...(can't remember sry!) Indian Temple. here's the pic!
next was Sculpture Square!!! it was really very nice, full of various arts and design. fyi: its known as the yellow house in the past. don't ask me why... anyway this pic (candid... we really didn't pose!) is the few of us finding the answer from the heritage board shown... took us a while cause this need a certain level of inference skills... haha!
yeah!!! here we are at Prinsep Church! quite nice right? the bricks i mean... haha. (don't know why derrick was closing his eyes...) anyway we didn't go in, cause no time we wanted to move on quickly, to the highlight of the day!!! (btw we took this pic after visiting the NTUC nearby... everyone was so thirsty but in the end only i buy a bottle of VODA VODA! the rest couldn't decide what they want... so dotz... anyway cheryl wanted us to share with her the five bottles yakult package which cost $2.30... so erm... cannot quench thirst u know? haha... in the end didn't buy... haha! oh ya mr. heng bought i Hersey's chocolate bar. he is always eating lo! first the chicken cutlet (he bought 2 packets), then now this... lastly, I was conned! the $1.25 Voda Voda tasted weird... should have listened to vivek go but the 40 cent ice mountain... sob... and i accidentally threw away the bottle at the esplanade dustbin... wanted to keep it one!)
hmmm... regret going OBS now already? haha, don't be too sad... i believe OBS was still very fun! its only tau hwa after all... haha (but i tell u, the tau hwa taste is an experience u can die for!!) alright alright... anyway this is cheryl 'speaking' cryptic... hmm.. what is the hidden message here then? intersting shot by mr. heng. ;)
another shot by mr. heng. u all should read mr. heng blog to see what he said about this pic... quite funny... supposingly we are to link the recent ban of smoking in many public areas to the smokers themselves protesting, lamenting and speaking various cryptic in response to this.. ok mr. heng, we understand... ;)
this is me!!! haha. one of the 3 mood portriats of his students by mr. heng. it was candid and i really didn't know there was this pic till he sent me... haha... erm... u all looking at the graffiti or me?! me ok? that fox/squirrel/mutated thing is so ugly lo... btw the great taste of the tau hwa is expressed all over my face man! i'm close to tears now... ah....
second portrait; vivek! clearly can't be bothered and was waiting patiently/impatiently for us to finish our tau hwa... hmm... what was he thinking? (btw vivek didn't eat any tau hwe because he didn't have any appetite. so sad... he should have tasted it and wept together with me...)
okok, this is us trying to pose as the five hooligans of Rocher Street! (see the communist bag of mr. heng?) haha. not so bad but u can clearly see the pained expression on my face after being denied of more tau hwe jus to take the pic!
ta daa! another group pic! see my face? i told u so... the tau hwe was SO good... okok... i know i look like a complete idiot in this pic but i swear it was not intentional... pls don't mass produce and crop my pic out to spoil my image and reputation... have a heart... save sheng long... thks thks
after the ineffable, sensational and marvellous experience at Rocher Street, we walked to doulby gaurt mrt station to take a train to raffles place to find the Big Bird, our next station! *not sesame street one... here we are!! guess whether we are at the front or back of the bird? tell u la... its the back... so erm... the button is not the bird's belly button ok? ... btw, look at me! this is the aftermath of eating Rocher Street tau hwa! see see... thats why u all must be careful... what i say is true... seriously. the tau hwa rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alright, this is our last stop-the old parliament house! by now we really ran out of time and was so tired after walking such long distances aroung Singapore... but it was fun! btw see how drained all of us at the back are? i tell u, its the tau hwe... make us cry and cry till so tired... (clearly i'm still in ecstasy after the savouring the tau hwe... and samuel already missing and thinking about it... haiz...)
last pic!!! the third mood portrait of mr. heng's students-cheryl! i think this pic really got lots of symbolism... cheryl overlooking the singapore river... representing us pondering over sinagpore and our own future... and of course the longing of not wanting to leave so soon... not wanting all these to end... though we all know that we have reached our destination for the day already... and of course the constant ache for more tau hwe... haiz... ;)
oh ya the results for the heritage tour is not out yet. it will be announced next wk, mon if i'm not wrong. top 3 groups got prize!!! 125 will surely win one!!! yeah! btw, some stuff bout mr. heng: 1. he's from amk sec, then ajc. scored straight A's for a's ( i think except econs cause he didn't want to tell us) 2. on a SCIENCE teaching scholarship then change to arts honours... 3. he came to this blog already!!! (and of course saw that sann... devil incarnate post by elvis...) but he's not angry la! he can take jokes!!! thks ;) 4. he was drinking (again) goat milk while we were walking towards doulby gaurt mrt station. see i tolf u he's always eating and drinking. the thing is that we didn't even see him buying the goat's milk! i think he got it all ready in that bag of his.. is it? ;)
lastly, jus wanna tell all OBS people we were very happy even when u all were gone! of course we missed u all etc but we tried to make the best out of our situation... not a bad job done/. hey! but we are still a super united class ok? come back that time pls don't split into two groups; OBS and non-OBSers... thks thks. (btw mr. heng commented in his blog that 125 is united as a WHOLE class beyond belief! keep it up!)
yupz, this is the end of the post already... super good right? i must be a genius... (hey first post ok? though i took a a long time to write all these... bout three-four hours...) haha. btw, things that i want to thank for making this post possible are my computer, my Bloomsbury Reference New Edition Thesaurus and my Cobuild English Dictionary! haha. speaking of x-factor in a post... Anyway, must of course thank each and every single person of ctg 125! its is everyone of us that made 125 unique!!! oh ya, not forgetting all the teachers too!
Miss ALL of you and see ya then! ;)
Disclaimer: some parts of this post might be a little exaggerating but its all for the sake of a more colourful description and account of our experience on the heritage tour. ;) plus i tend to use a lot of colloquial terms and words... not forgetting spelling and grammatic errors... forgive me... its again for the entertainement of all. not my usual style definitely. haha. teachers who are reading this pls understand! and by no means am i here to offend anyone so if u are offended, don't be! sry to u in advance. ;)
