DiViNE EViL

Good Evening.
Chinese Listening Comprehension was yesterday...it was quite OK, nothing much.
Today was music for E.Heng, said I had to play Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata with more intensity...well, i at least kinda agree with that.
As for tonight...
EE3's on again! This time, OLS and OJS has joined in the battle against EViL!! Unfortunately, OJS got himself killed in a duel against the guy with the Scorpion Trident. His partner was called Archilles. Oh well.
We will just have to wait. Their progress is quick though.

Today...I fell ill.
I think it is flu or sumtin...sore throat with fever. so I didnt go to sch today. Actually the symptoms had appeared yesterday. I knew it, so I chose to fall ill today becoz tomorrow i have Chinese O level listnening comprehension.
Yeah, and by the way I found out that 'Good Evening' in Dutch is GoedeNavond, not GoedeDavond, or GoedeAvond.
Goedenavond.
Yesterday was some Student Leaders Investiture or sumtin like that. As expected, they screwed up a few parts. FCH counted 18.
Well, the first one was fairly obvious. The emcees said "let us stand up for the arrival of the Guest of Honour" and all of us stood up and clapped...at nothing.
They then said "that was to prepare you for the real thing" and so we all sat down. So when the Guest of Honour really arrived a number of people didnt even stand up.
The rest I can vaguely remember...the sec4 Student Leaders were replaced by the sec3 Student Leaders...and there was one particular one who was booed. I mean it. Well, he looked like that type, the type that looked like a ...er...tyrant.
Then there was some priest or sumtin to bless the Student Leaders or sumtin...when the emcees said, "Let us welcome Father (something)", the mic got cut off at the word 'father' at the first syllable, which sounded like...erm u know what I mean. Ouch.
The guy also spoke with a weird accent. Well, people started giggling at the start...I didn't find it particularly funny, but weird, because I sometimes talk like that. In fact, he reminded me of Zhang Jiao from the DW series, when he was saying like," May the God of the Heavvvensss bless your soouuulll!!" (I then felt like a yellow turban soldier). No offence intended.
Then it was the SCHOOL SONG. THE school song. This time, i knew what will happen. Everyone knows. It's just that this time there are erm...visitors from other schools listening to us, how we start it. Yes, the anticipation note. We all know too well.
In fact, after the horrible anticipation note, it went really well. We were singing unusually loudly. Well, that's a good point anyway.
And so I prepare myself for the challenges of tomorrow...Bbllleessss Mmeeee!
Again, no offence intended.

Goededavond.
(with the D)
Today LHB brought a whole bunch of old boys of CHS and the 1st person of index no.1 to join at 1935. He's now 84 and looking quite well.
Anyways there was a statue of our first pricipal(only the head) and thats all I think.
The day ended in Maths...quite OK
And music...came die Moldau! Well, this piccolo was worst than my recording, just listened to it ;)
Goed Niet Vaar!(You not good)
Harhar.

Goedeavond.
I know it was last thursday but well how i THINK i had done well for my Chinese Os was a medium story.
Timetable: History, Chinese, English, English, Recess, Physics, Mathematics
Had to skip Mathematics becoz of the Oral Exam. Haha.*Evil Cackle*
History is normal, then Chinese. 'Bobby' (ask WeiLie) tok about the Oral thingy for half the lesson then say everyone will have a last test on oral.
Three parts to oral: passage, bao zhang bao dao, ri chang hui hua
Well i suked at Chinese in my whole secondary education passed it once(with help of moderation). Statistics show:
Sec1Term1 36 Sec2Term1 36 Sec3Term1 36
And guess how much i got for Sec4 Term1.(BTW the marks are /100 not /50)
>
>>
>>>
37!!
Spoil my nice record :(
Anyways, O Level is no joke, and I hate it, so must study hard. Includes Oral for me, as my Chinese toking kinda suk too. Just started to communicate a bit more Mandarin with OLS. That may have helped.
Anyways, O Level is no joke, and I hate it, so must study hard, and that includes Oral, so Bobby must help me. And becoz the front few had their exam on Wednesday, I'm the third of the day(index 11) and so We set up chair table go outside class corridor sit there look look read read dunno word dunno word tok tok ask ask and then the first guy finish so finish. The next guy tok lousy also but not as bad as me, so he got held up for quite a period of time. By then bell had rung. English(double English) now, and we think it's quite sian. So i expect to come late for English for about 20 mins, as Bobby now made us go to Special room at 3F next to Library. Me and next guy sat there while the guy who was in front of me had to read again. So we waited.
AND Waited.
AND then a group of dunno wad people who look like ppl from china with green bags walked past the Special Room. The Special Room is an empty room, for special functions(like preparing for Chinese Oral) and there were only several tables and chairs. The group, a VERY big group, they walked by the room, chattering. Some ppl even poked their heads in see wad was happening in the room which they had no idea of. Of course they didnt expect it was preparation for Chinese oral, looked as if we were being counselled by Bobby. What's more, the room was so dull, we felt like captives in a cell, or animals in a cage. That was reinforced with the people all trying to see whats happening in the room. Finally they passed, and until now I dunno wadderhell they were doing in our sch and who they were.
Now the guy had finished. It was my turn and i went there and read to Bobby the chinese passage. I read very softly he said so he taught me to lean towards the examiner if i felt too soft. OK, that was done, and we moved on to the next section where he asked sum weirdo question i duuno how to answer. So he ask me go read the question and gave me a sample answer to go and study. Meanwhile, the next guy was called up.
The people who had finished were supposed to return to class and call the next guy down. And so he called down the next guy, who was called up to Bobby before I was. I wondered what he wanted me to do; read more?
AND then the weakest Chinese guy came down. I mean, he's just weak in Chinese written. His Oral skills are quite OK. Bobby asked me to bring another chair and 'supervise' the guy talking. So I listened. Everyone was OK. I listened to their answers. I listened intently. One by one, all the people from my class(who took express Chinese) were called down and I listened how they spoke. By then it was the end of the two English lessons(Yay!).
It was recess. I took a short break and ate some snacks. I went back up and saw the last guy finish. Bobby summoned me. He asked me to read the passage. So I did. He asked me to read louder. So I did. He asked me the questions. I compiled the best answers from what I had heard in the past 130 minutes and threw it all back to him. AND he said I was good, and keep it up like that in the real exam. I had a morale boost. However, I could not sit 130 minutes in the examination hall listening to every other candidate blabber their answers, and I wouldnt wanted to anyway.
That afternoon. We skipped Maths becoz we were supposed to. After lunch we went to the hall and it was still locked. Several more minutes...and then a whole bunch of sec1s came by and disturbed our 'praying'. They were supposed to go to the Primary school hall. Oh well.
AND then Johsua(yes, Johsua, not Joshua, coz Bobby pronounces it that way) came. For the who two weeks his soul as not even 5km from the school and today he miraculously appeared. It's actually not his fault, but many people from our class still dun like him anyways. He also had miraculous hair.(As in, miraculously long and messy) We were like shouting "WOW YOU CAME" at him (not me not me)
And then the doors(or gates) opened. The HOD of chinese who is shorter than me(us) gave us a 'long briefing' or 'brief longing'. While she was giving the long briefing sum people were like biting uncontrollably. The people were divided into 3 groups. I was 3rd. Our examiners, two of them, both female, but one was 'fat' and one was 'skinny'. Or, in a more crude form, 'Cushiony' and 'Twiggy'.(hope they dont see this)
The first guy from our group went up and read the passage silently before going to the examiners and starting the examination. We were supposed to read the passage for about five minutes and then stop. Then we were supposed to go to the two examiners, greet them and start.
BUT then, the-lousiest-guy-in-written-chinese said he had a sore throat, which was partly true, because he didn't come to school the day before. They allowed him to go first, and so I was pushed back to 4th. Anyway the first 5 cannot leave the hall until 3PM for some 'security measures'.
AND so they went up one by one, read one by one, spoke one by one, and left one by one. AND when it was my turn, I picked up the paper(in a plastic folder) and I began reading silently to myself. It was quite simple at the start, but the end...contained a few more difficult words.
AND so 5 minutes were up. I sat on a chair, looking at the guy in front of me speaking to the two examiners. He was taking an awfully long time. It seemed forever, as I didn't want him to leave, but at the same time I felt I should get along with it.
AND so he picked up his bag, and left through the left door of the hall. I picked up my bag and I walked gingerly when they summoned me, and greeted the examiners. I forgot to show them my IC. The skinny one requested for it. So I took it out and put it there. She checked it and gave it back to me,but I placed it onto the table. I started reading on cue.
I read the first few paragraphs smoothly. Ahahaha I thought. Then I came to a part where I knew the words but at that instant i forgot how they were pronounced. I stuttered. AND when I reached the part with (shang da man) some minister's name, I think I pronounced it right. I THINK.
They asked me the next question(actually the skinny one only). Fortunately I UNDERSTOOD the question and answered them. Bobby had said not to stop, so I tried my best not to. AND somehow, I didn't
We moved to the last question. Again, the skinny one asked the question. For this whole while the other one was fairly quiet, looking as if she was recording the marks. I had no time to glimpse what she was writing, and anyways she had some other paper to cover it. AND again, i understood the question and I told them one point. However, I quite stalled (but not really) and so I went and 'beat around the bush' , 'tok crabs', and 'display the art of bullsh*tting'. I also felt I was going softer so I leaned towards them. AND finally when I started on a new point, the plumper one started to 'coax' me to finish the point, but hearing her egging me on, I was quite startled and I got stuck. Not cool at all. I ended by reannouncing the first point again.
AND I was free.
I went to the door(with my bag and phone), opened it, breathed in, breathed out, turned around, and tried to close the wrong side of the door(since it was a sliding door). As a result, a there was a BANG and well, I hoped the examiners forgot who I was. I closed the other door and ran out, only to be stopped because the time was 2.55PM.
Well at least there were others there too, and a teacher to let us go at 3PM, and miraculously the-lousiest-guy-in-written-chinese had no more sore throat and was babbling about the passage. Apparently, he didnt know what was 'Shang Da Man' and read it as 'Cheng Qin Cheng' (sounds like CQZ.) well, the guy in front of me read it as 'Zhang Zhong Kun' who was a Higher Chinese student from our level. He said, it just came to his mind. Yah right.
It was 3PM and the teacher released us. (BTW the teacher is the Chinese HOD) She told the few of us how we should have tackled the few questions. Well, I didn't stop. My best Oral test ever, cos i didn't stall. AND I hope I can get like higher than a 'just pass'.
Well, as this is over, we shall hope I will have a successful English Oral on 11 August(or sumwhere there). Meanwhile, there's Prelims...
That'll be later.
For now, Good Night.
Proceed and Retrieve. -JLam

The original EE3 Post from http://NETD.sgforums.com is here.
Now that the North Darkceil Tower has been eliminated, all the citizens of Iurus thought their troubles were over. However, Another Darkceil tower has risen over the south, and who knows when they will stop. Nobody knows why the Darkceils have started spawning in their island. To protect the island, the heroes of Iurus have set off again, travelling from one corner of the island to the other. Their task have never been boring for them, as the explorers always discover new secrets.
Unfortunately, something has hindered their progress. A man dressed in black with a black cape, seen coming from his own black spaceship, wants to take over the island. Somehow he must be planning how to make use of the Darkceils from the tower to conquer the island, but to do this he must not let the tower fall. So he tries to get rid of the explorers as quickly as he can. This guy is none other than Zukeii from TM series 1. To make matters worse, he owns the ultimate EViL Scythe, making him dangerous when fighting him. He, however, has not much of brains, but his experience and power has rewarded him by destroying another planet totally and claiming it to be his.
And it doesn't end there. Zukeii's quest is also to take over the universe, and he targets the next planet other than the planet Iurus is in. This is a strange planet, divided into two halves of teams also wanting to take over the planet. By observation, it is clear these two teams are hiding some secret weapon, but they do not plan to use it until it is the right time. They also speak a different language, that even Zukeii cannot understand.
Nobody still knows the true power of the Darkceils, but from the North Darkceil Tower it has been quite clear. If the explorers do not hurry up quick enough, who knows what will happen to the universe.

Good Evening.

I am JLam, also known as Finoq, Darkceil, Nevilinity, Carnington, Kentford, Carendt, Wronninghall, or things like that. Too long to list.

This post was(will be/is) originally posted on 4th October 2005. Yes, 2005.

I live in a world full of EViL. People who do not understand the virtue of patience, humility, creativity, unselfishness, optimism, flexibility and anger control(tolerance). To make these people realize, it's not easy. Sometimes they don't even know it's their weakness, let alone trying to improve themselves. I am not a person who can lead or have the power to control everyone, but I just hope this world can be a better place. Nobody can understand why people act like people, why stupid actions can be made, why people do not realize the joy of life. Life is to be enjoyed, because you never know what lies after. Nobody can tell that your current life wil affect your afterlife; nobody can prove there's a God, Heaven or Hell. Nobody can control the darkness of people, the anticipation of the next public enemy to emerge. Nobody can predict how the fairness of judgement and luck can fall upon people and change their character, lives, and future for others, for better or worse.

Such is the power of DiViNE EViL.
