Outing Brief

Good Day my dear Citizens, I must commend all of you for taking the time out to make the outing a nice and pleasant one. Owing to the Emperor's busy schedule, I think we should all try to go for the upcoming plays so as to meet up again and support August! Once again, I implore all of you to reply quickly or I shall deploy the Chancellor's Over-riding Act to select a date..haha..

Anyway, as all of you rub your hands in anticipation of the photos I have at this precise moment sent it to the Princess's email for her to work her magic in creating some nice presentation out of it, so please do not let us down, Princess.. And yes, I do hope all of you liked what I got for you all from Taiwan kkz? Regards.. Hope to see you soon Duchess..

Hey.. if you're interested to go please message me? Have to do this ASAP, limited tickets. It's free, so no worries! For Heartstrings on the 24th, I'm playing piano live... for Boom Baby Boom on the 25th, it's a recorded Minus 1. Just to warn: Boom Baby Boom contains some explicit content that may offend, so please consider this before deciding to watch. It's rated PG, but seriously I think it ought to be RA.

Looking foward!

The Call Of Duty...

Greetings..People, just found out I have to do some duties and there would be a briefing on Sunday Evening, though the location of this brief is near Mohd Sultan Road..So I am glad we are meeting in Orchard, but can we meet earlier please? I was thinking like 1230 or 1300 hrs to facilitate a longer meeting time ya..So i have taken the liberty ofdeclaring a referendum and kindly place your votes..If no votes are placed, by default the Chancellor's Over-riding Act would set in..And it would be 1300 hrs at Orchard..Alright?

Apologies...

Hi guys...

Am really sorry... I am very caught up in the work for Five-Foot Broadway, now the rehearsals have begun and I am involved in two musicals, so my weekends are very much burnt for these activities. I have a rehearsal for one of the musicals this coming Sunday, which is our outing day, at 4pm... hopefully I can at least meet you guys for a meal or something before I dash off again... am really sorry my schedule is crap.

Star Wars Episode III

I watched it on Sunday... what's impressive is that George Lucas manages to spin the whole story until it sits in nicely at its third spot (despite being the last of the series) and it creates a smooth link into the first, original Star Wars movie (where Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are first introduced).

I thought Anakin did it out of desperation to save his wife. Chancellor Palpatine said he had the ability to prevent his wife, whom he loved dearly, from dying at childbirth. And it's so unfortunate that the Chancellor is on the dark side. Anakin is a pitiful figure: he has difficulty judging which side to follow. There is the scene where he wanted to kill Palpatine after discovering he was the Sith Lord. Then Palpatine poisoned his mind, and by the time the Jedi Master... is it Wendo?... went to confront Palpatine... they were both screaming at him... in the end he chose to follow Palpatine because of his promise.

A tragedy, you could call it...

The Warrior Princess

*Enters The Grand Court* Good Day All, once again I return to my Land, with the immense pain in my heart that I have yet again failed to see my Beloved Citizens. Yet, I am gladdened that change is taking place..Thank You Tomiko for attempting to give this country a new facelift for indeed change is the catalyst for a modern world. You shall be duly rewarded for your pains.

King, once again you are misunderstanding my intentions for I only bear the good of our Land in my heart. I can sense your traumatization by the errant driver but you should not be pressing your pompous opinions in the impressionable minds of our members.

And yes, I believe that besides patience, love, strategies and tactical manoeuvres are very much needed in teaching in a primary school environment, hence I pray that Princess would not throw up a tantrum if she loses control of her young ones. The key idea here is command and control. "Know your yourself, know your enemies, a hundred battles, a hundred victories." ~ Sun Tze Study their habits, know their weaknesses and strike at their core. Keep a legion of fiercely loyal supporters and stir a coup to seize the power. Take down the ringleaders and assume the throne as the leader. These are the purest of steps and I wish you the best in your conquest. Last but not least, remember to win the "hearts and minds" of the parents as they are the most powerful council members you can count on. Your humble Chancellor and the rest of Pipiland awaits news of your victory!

new template

Sail Away Sail Away...

Good day my beloved citizens, once again i find myself badly maligned.. "Show me the OCULAR proof that I am afraid of Wasps!!!!!" King, surely the last you would think badly and lowly of would be your humble Chancellor who stuck to you through thick and thin? Hmmm, and why is there a scandal alert by the Princess??!!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears, have i shown myself to be anything other than a willing servant of the cause? Have I been impure, my Lords? My people, I rest my fate in your good hands to lift those unwarranted claims against your most beloved Chancellor.. I regret that I am unable to join the outing due to my sailing routine but hey, at least you can rest safe knowing that the seaward defence of our land is safe! I leave with tears in my eyes, but consoled in my heart knowing that I am doing a noble task.. Long live Pipiland! Au Revoir~

Ok.So 2pm at somerset mrt,on 21st May,Saturday.

Hey guys,Benson can't make it this Saturday.Would Monday be a better day?

State Of Emergency!

Dear Citizens, I have received the news that i might be sailing from 21st - 22nd May..This is bad..Keep you posted, if the date is fixed,I am afraid I will have to forgo it..Apologies my people..

The Chancellor Speaks..

Good Day all..This is your beloved Chancellor once again. I apologise for the late entry due to unforeseen circumstances, (hushes the music and cheering crowd) and I bring forth another important piece of news to the Kingdom. It is regarding my opinion on the scariest animal poll. (Pauses as frantic journalists take down notes) Your Chancellor strongly believes that all living things on earth should be loved and admired for they have many characteristics humans can only wish for. An example would be snakes, for without them it would seriously damage the food chain and disrupt the ecological cycle. Therefore, my dear citizens, love the animals around you for without them , you might not be what you are today.. (However, on a personal note, I do bear a certain distaste for cockroaches and it is indeed a big pest for all of us. ) Today, before I leave, I would like to share with all my beloved citizens another quote..

Quoting Tupac - "Wars come and go, but my soldier stay eternal"

p/s: Haha..kinda formal horhz..But if spoken in a most reverent and solemn manner, it really strikes a chord in the heart..and on this note i pledge my allegiance to the King and Emperor. So, do i get a knighthood???? hee hee..do not mind a JEDI hood neither (winks at King) To all: Look forward to watching the new movie together kkz?!! =)

><(((( ﾟ<.｡o○オ.｡o○ハ.｡o○ヨ.｡o○ウ.｡o○

21st May is good!! = D Anyway the most hated animal is... SPIDERS!! I HATE THEIR EYES!! EEK! Watched this documentary last time.. there's this banana collector. He didn't know there's a yellowish blackish banana spider camouflaging in this bunch of bananas he's just collected and guess what? the spider "flew" from his hiding place, bit the guy, and he died. Yux. How cruel. Anwyay ALL 8-legged creatures like crabs and scorpions suck as well. +_+

Yep 21st I'm okay! Jeez... how long since the last time all of us met... almost 9 months..!

King: I don't think we men are going for the Army Safety Exhibition. Never mentioned to us. Maybe they're afraid we'll become better at spotting loopholes in Army Safety and use safety hotline as a threat...

21st May (sat) ON!

If everyone's ok with the date,shall we meet at say,two,at somerset?

If we're meeting on the 21st, can we meet only after two? Coz my german class (at somerset) only ends after 1.30...

Let's confirm a date

So is 21st May (saturday)ok with you guys?

bats are kinda cute though

Worms are the scariest ones I think,especially silk worms.The thick,wriggling,white ones.I remember there was this episode of "Extreme Gourmet" where Lum May Yee had to swallow these fried silk worms.(Think Twisties).

I like bats-they're adorable!I went to the zoo not long ago and I actually saw a bat peeing upside-down while hanging on a tree branch.They look like mini monkeys plus wings.

Sandy:you'll probably like bats if they're pink

Oops...!

Oh yah... sorry... it's this coming Sunday, 15 May 2005

Insect counted...?

Erm... insects counted? Gave my Science all back to my teachers... to me the scariest are moths... I don't know why, but at the end of the day, moths are scarier than butterflies... especially those super large ones... aaargh... eeeks...

Hey if you guys hanging around Orchard, just come along down to Ngee Ann City. I will be performing with the Soracco Musical Group (I'm the keyboardist in the band) in a half-hour programme at 3:10pm, at the Civic Plaza stage.

Ok guys,is this Saturday or Sunday on for meeting up?

The Chancellor Speaks...

Ahem.. it appears that that is a dissatisfied member among our ranks with my fabulous arrival speech, but nevertheless being the magnanimous me, she (oops, is it obvious?) is forgiven..haha..hmm, who do i prefer? honestly, I prefer the Tasmanian Devil cause he is so funny and destructive with his tornado spins, but a toss up between tweety and slyvester? I think I will go for slyvester, cause the poor cat seems so victimized, and he is funny too..Today was a short day for me and i managed to go home early, haha, otherwise would not be typing this already. A very warm welcome to the initiated King and Baroness (bows)..and just to clear up some facts..I am not an Alcoholic!!

Ahem..regarding the outing, can a kind and volunteering soul help us plan for the necessary arrangements? I would personally see to that the person would be well rewarded by the rich and generous King..right King? Alright, my piece is nearly exhausted and I leave you with a quote..

“Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Speak the truth, always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath…” ~ Knights oath, "Kingdom of Heaven"

My beloved members of the Royal Court, your humble Chancellor now takes his leave..
