Enjoy.
Sup dudes and duderinas.
I'm currently at the airport, going to India. Coming back on 3rd Jan, night. Some mega torture chamber there. But anyway, I wanted to tell all of you something rather important.
Recently, I have noticed that our batch is somewhat tearing apart and it is really quite painful to watch. Some of us are getting easily pissed at one another for trivial matters. Also, some of us are sticking to our favourite bunch within our batch, more often than previously. We cannot let this happen to our batch. Come on guys, we are one batch. A batch of 25. Not 5 or 6. Mix around as much as possible. I know it is natural to like some more than others but don't let yourself completely ignore the others you less like. Talk to one another. And if he tends to ignore you, dont be demoralised or annnoyed. When you see him in person, tell him that what he had done was a bit rude etc.
Another thing is that the line between Top Management and the rest, or SLs and the rest, is getting thicker. The communication is lacking. Tops and SLs, remember to humble yourself and recognise that you are part of a bigger picture, the batch and even bigger, the band. The rest like me, don't make yourself feel inferior in any way. You will never be scolded for criticising[in a non-rude manner] or commenting[constructively] on the way the Tops or SLs are running parades or sectionals. I'm sure they will take your comments on board, yeah? All of us joined the band without knowledge of posts etc. All of us joined the band as 25 recruits. Always remember that please.
Oh and some people keep telling ME that the batch blog is dead. Why tell me? Remember that all of you guys are permitted to post on this blog. Don't complain, do something about it!
On a lighter note, there's like only, what? 10 days left for the holidays? Start getting in the school mood. O levels isn't going to be easy shit. But nevertheless, enjoy the remainder of the holidays guys! I will miss you guys a lot.
Byebye,
Karthik ;D

The Great Journey
Below is the record of the Great Journey of our attempt to reach Ji Yang's House.
10:00am
I dialed his number and found that my handphone call had failed to rouse Ji Yang. I locked my phone since the battery seemed to be running low.
10:46am
I dialed his number and found that my handphone call had failed to rouse Ji Yang. I locked my phone since the battery seemed to be running low.
11:15am
I dialed his number and found that my handphone call had failed to rouse Ji Yang. I locked my phone since the battery seemed to be running low.
Edmund, Cherng Hao and I took a bus from Toa Payoh to 1 stop after KAP. (When the bus passed by KAP Edmund was like "Isn't that our stop?" Then even though we know that Ji Yang lives in Hua Guan Crescent, we all went to Mayfair Gardens. After about 1 1/2 hour of being bus3rded, we found Hua Guan Ave. Then Cherng Hao saw "Yay! Number 5!" then "LOL STONE AVE" but there was no one at home :-( so we continued walking until we saw Hua Guan Crescent! We saw Ji Yang's maid there, then Edmund go up to her and say "Ji Yang?" she nodded her head and started opening the gate for us o.O Then blablabla, we found Ji Yang and gave him some chocolate and cher(r)ie(s) because we know how much he loves her/them. Then we took a tour of his house o.O Glass floor. His calendar damn freaking nice. Edmund has pics and video :-D

Batch BBQ
AWESOMEE!!!
Although I'm damn tired now, I think the Batch BBQ was seriously damn fun! And who else agrees that Elton's house is freaking huge and nice. 5 storeys! Got attic and basement some more. Some skills. Anyway, those who took photos, Vong and Benedick if I'm not wrong, please upload the photos on facebook as soon as possible. I'm sure everyone's eager to see them. Lol.
Anyway, hope everyone had fun, and those who did not turn up, Edmund, Nat, Sufi and BOAZ, please try to make it for our next Batch outing/gathering.
This BBQ is some success, 21/25! Nice one guys!

the batch.
We are the SJIMB Batch of 2010. And we rock yours socks off. TOO BAD.
We would like to thank all our seniors especially Sir Dominic to help us bond through our years in the SJIMB. That pumping session outside the bandroom really helped sir. Haha. Thanks!

Thanks!I think all of you are a special and good batch. But all of you still got lots to learn and improve on to be like your seniors. In terms of being sensitive for others (feelings) and maturity.
