Autobiography: My School - Primary Part 2

My primary school days was from 1981 to 1986... easy to remember. Second part of this segment is to really seek old frens... before my memory fails. Boys: Wei Huanbo, Fuyu, Xu Shunxing, Chen Jinshun, Chen Kexun and many many more etc. Girls: Pan Xiuqing, Chen Qingping, Bai Liyun, Chen Jingjing, Chen Sumei, Ke Caixia, Shufang, etc. Got to see the Pri 6 farewell book... i vaguely remember my classes but i think they were 1A, 2A, 3A, 4N1, 5N1 and 6N1... Mr Lim, our form teacher during P6... super strict but really good in English studies... how strict?! he did not allow any students to cross legs during lessons or your table would be 'your standing ground'... not because of vengence... there was this Chinese teacher during my P3 who gave me a tight slap on my face... becos i was mischievious... all my siblings went thru Bukit Ho Swee Primary... i could still see my younger bro being bullied by his peers (mostly girls) during his P1 from underneath the classroom partition.. :P

hair trivia

after almost 30 years of washing hair... i am still so 'shallow'... (though mine is still in healthy condition)... i am not thinning... mine is inheritance.. my dad also has less hair and my girls too. gotten this piece of information from 1003fm... on how to take good care of your hair... 1) never wash in very warm water as it will produce more 'oil' to your hair scalp. 2) try not to comb hair when it is wet... cos the hair is most brittle at this time... if need to, use a comb with 'bigger teeth'. 3) don't massage the conditioner into your scalp... conditioner is needed for the hair and not our scalp... and lastly... from me, read the direction to use on conditioner and shampoo to get optimal results... i just read the usage of my conditioner after few years... it read "after applying, let the conditioner stays for 1 to 2 mins before rinsing"... duh!

F1, pardon me...

26th to 28th sept 2008... marked the whole first for Singapore... our little red dot was hosting the first F1 night race in the world... F1... it has never been in my books... i like rally more than this... what's so great about a bunch of cars zooming in the same tracks for over 40 laps without terrain issues to tackle? pardon me for my ignorance... i did not watch the event at Marina for this event... catching the 3 days over channel 5 and starhub channel... how wrong am i... first 2 days were quite bored... F1 cars are zooming at almost 300kmph and placements for finals are in milliseconds and seconds... then the final... i (with my 2 girls) was at my dad's place, catching it live over starhub sports... with Meng and family... my wife was 'sponsored' by her company to watch live... same as my elder bro... how lucky... cos they got the expensive VIP suite... costing over SGD6K+ per pax... free flow of food, wine, champagne... sheltered... near the start / finish and p
