While we're waiting for our editors to get to work, please enjoy this latest work of art from YouTube.



You WILL NOT be disappointed. To be honest, we haven't laughed out loud at something from the net for a substantial period of time, and we are pleased to finally announce the breaking of this laughless vigil.

Blog Cast 5

After much ado, this unimpressive Blog Cast has surfaced. Introduction after a long break and summary of what's to come ahead.



Stay safe.

Blog Cast 4

We apologise for the lateness of this cast, but of course there are some people who missed it, as they were in a rather lethargic state and didn't bother to scroll down, or were simply just not interested. Kit Perry and Iskandar have a trivial pillow fight in the common room, and Kit also manages to scrounge Ben Teo's footwear.



Stay safe.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS POST, ANSWER TO FOLLOW SHORTLY

After a brief break, we are humbly proud to proclaim to the approximately three, people that read this blog, that GISEYE is now back, with a renewed vigour for further mildly pleasing literal and visual narrations.

Of a mildly-pleasing nature

Thus, having run out of ideas as to how to write, we borrow from the gallant Lee Weng Yew's literary style, with this next piece.

So how have we been spending our time since the last post? Well unexpectedly having forgotten much of what has taken place since the last post, we have attempted to recollect small pieces of memories of the last few months over the brief break that we undertook. In numerical chronological order:

1. A Level examinations revision
2. Easter Holidays (fourteen days)
3. A Level examinations partaking
4. Scaling one of the highest mountains in the world, Mt Kinabalu Laban Rata, along with fellow currently known bloggers, Matthew Six, Ten Rust, Kit Perry, Lee Weng Yew, and Edwin Loo, and possibly Andrei Popescu to name a few. (however unfortunately not the humble Clement Chew).
5. Being both highly positively invigorated and disappointed by Transformers: The Movie, which was both an utter waste of time and a glorious visual feast for all ages that ought not to be missed by anyone of any age.
6. Final days of school
7. Listening to Johan Abdul Rahman's Band
8. Computer game networking and the agonising wait for new laptops
9. Reading books
10. Visiting Langkawi
11. A Level results
12. Summer
13. Future

The Tenements of Revision
We must collectively say that we all thoroughly enjoyed our A Level examinations revision that indeed a few days ago a few of us possibly actually did partake in some further A Level revision, after our exams had been taken purely to bring back brilliant memories of our A Level learning experiences.

Indeed, such was the heightened levels of enjoyment of our A Levels revision, we recommend to any of the aspiring current A and AS Level students who read this, to start your revision early, the recommended time being before the Easter Holidays, so as to maximise revision enjoyment purposes.

A Level Examinations partaking

KINABALU
Along with a cohort of fellow year 13s who are named in alphabetical order from here on: Lee Weng Yew, Matthew Sixten Rust, Kit Perry, Woo Yi Xuan, Jean Kee, Wei Jean, Sun, Christopher Ho. Also present were former year 12s who we believe are now possiblu the current year 13s: Andrei Popescu, Dana Moult, Edwin Loo, Raymond, Julian, Ke Ni, amongst others. Late additions to the trip were a collection of respected teachers as well.

On July 1 we departed for Mt Kinabalu from the LCCT KLIA which was later to be the source of much visual glory a couple of weeks later. Upon arriving in KK and after some time had passed we proceeded with much aplomb up the mountain, Maxwell and Bradley making a late desperate surge to the Laban Rata guesthouse to arrive joint forth respectively, to await the arrival of the rest an hour later.

Visually arousing

After awakening at somewhere around 3am and after some time had passed it was reported that we had reached the summit of the possibly highest mountain in asia and then under the mysterious unproclaimed leadership of a matthew rust; maxwell, perry, lee, woo, and bradley then proceeded to proceed in a general downwards direction from the summit of the mountain.

(from R-L) A Highly Respected Member of the General Public, Thomas ‘Hat Maxwell, Woo ‘London’ Yi Xuan, Kit ‘In Front’ Perry, Ben ‘Highest Point Vertically’ Bradley, Matthew ‘Second from Left’ Rust, Lee ‘Excellent Oral Hygiene’ Weng Yew

Once the descent to Laban Rata was completed, a brief rest was taken by those who were first down. Surprisingly, those who were first to reach the summit were coincidentally first to reach Laban Rata. After a rather satisfying breakfast it was decided that the group of year 13’s should depart for the base camp. After several minutes had passed Lee Weng Yew, Maxwell and Bradley decided the pace was not to their liking and at a pace of approximately “insertnumberhere” mph a quicker descent was initiated amidst complaints from Yew arguing the fact that his legs were somewhat shorter than his companions.

ooner rather than later, Yew was left behind by the longer legged Maxwell and Bradley who were seemingly on a ‘blinker led’ mission to the bottom. ALTHOUGH suddenly Matthew Rust came bounding down behind us at a speed around 14% faster than ours. A race then ensued, keeping drinks and rests to a minimal 0 stops the downward descent of the mountain was completed in a GISEYE record time of 2hrs.30mins. Commendations are due to Matthew Rust, Ben Bradley and Thomas Maxwell, words must also be spared to Dana Moult, Kit Perry, Andrei Popescu and Lee Weng Yew who seeming fell down the mountain about 30 min later.

After a brief rest a multi personnel bus transported the group to KK where an amazing hotel was discovered complete with swimming pool. Food was a taste sensation (when it came, obviously the arrival of 30+ people was a shock to the kitchen who seemed to only be employing one chef), certificates handed out to those successful and those not so successful and a general sense of merriment was experienced by all in attendance.

Night quickly turned into day and we boarded the airplane, YX was continually disturbed by the window and the long legged people sitting next to him, much to his disgust.

Arrival back in KL occurred without much disturbance.

and the journey back to the five star hotel in KK which was luxury at its finest, also narrations of the plane journeys and possibly near violent commotions at the airports that preceeded and followed such journeys. Or read Matt Rust's blog because that might have an account.

Can we also just say that The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is to be universally recognised and widely adopted as the best programme for the personal development of young people and that The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is committed to providing for young people an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding programme of personal development, which is of the highest quality and the widest reach, and The Award is widely recognised by employers and people involved in education. Some of the benefits to young people include developing self-confidence and self-reliance; gaining a sense of achievement and a sense of responsibility; discovering new skills, interests and talents and developing leadership skills and abilities. They can also discover exciting opportunities; make new friends; experience teamwork, problem-solving and decision-making; increase their motivation; enhance their self-esteem and develop their communication skills.

Also, it was without doubt one of the major highlights of our sixth form, if not, secondary school, experience.

Transformers: the movie
Opinions on the movie are split.

YX – GG Movie, damn good la!.
Bradley – Hmm..quite shit tobehonest.
Maxwell – Agreed with YX.

A mixture or other opinions across Year 13 ranging from a cum, to a shit fest.

Final days of school
Violent common room commotion near death experiences and some Fariq other-people's-bag-relocation-services provided by the said person, one of the near dozens that were also partaking in such a calorie-burning activity to the benefit of health.

Johan Abdul Rahman's band featuring Clement Chew
*For letting us watch him, and the other members of his band project, perform to great personal satisfaction for certain members of the population of Malaysia, recently.

Held in the dark, damp, groaning posh restaurants of Heritage Row, of which the name escapes us temporarily, to be confirmed in our next post for the factually-in-need.

Three spotlights on Clement Chew, with an attractive wall piece behind him to further complement his skills of a musical nature

Laptops – Yi Xuan turns to violence.
It was decided that a Laptop would be needed for general university activities so Woo, Maxwell and Bradley decided to opt for a Dell Inspiron 1720, 1720 and 1520 respectively (differences are screen sizes 15 and 17 inch). Consequently all laptops were ordered within a few days of each other, thus giving the impression that all should arrive at similar times. This was not to be.

First to arrive was Ben’s 1520, after slightly less than a week his brand spanking new laptop arrived much to his excitement.

Second was Maxwell with his 1720, after several delays and hold-ups with parts shortages. It arrived almost 15 days after ordering thanks to persistent emailing and complaints about service. General success as everything was in working order.

Third – Yi Xuan Woo, after 3 weeks he was becoming increasingly agitated with sending daily emails and receiving the same reply “Im sorry there is a severe screen shortage”. He contemplated many solutions including:

- Changing his order
- Cancelling his order
- Increase number of complaints to 3 a day
- Demand compensation
- Do nothing

Options 3 and 4 were chosen and it turned out that a free 2GB thumb drive was to be given free of charge, much to his happiness. After a slightly longer than expected wait he received his items.

Although that was not the end. He decided to ignore the warnings and software provided by Vista, and proceeded to partition his hard-drive using a downloaded programme. During mid-partition a failure occurred causing the drive to become unrecognisable and well, broken. A complete reformat was needed an after many days, he could finally use his laptop.

Many LAN-Parties have been enjoyed since.

THIS NEWS JUST IN – A CHRIS HO HAS ALSO ORDERED AND RECEIVED A DELL INSPIRON 1520 LAPTOP ALTHOUGH IT MUST BE SAID THAT IT IS SLIGHTLY BETTER IN SPECS THAN THE THREE PEOPLE MENTIONED EARLIER

Langkawi
*****
13 people happened to coincidently meet up at KL LCCT one fine day.

This cleverly encapsulates 7/13ths of the total

Reading books
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows nearly spoilt.

Accolades must go to all of the year 13 geography class generation of 2006/7 which was probably the best sixth form geography class we've ever been in.
Alang Aris, Maevis and Brian* Tan, Clement Chew, Ben Bradley, Thomas Maxwell, Suzen Low*.

*Unfortunately due to possible illnesses these two students did not manage to finish A Level Geography

Also infinite thanks to the intellectually geographically-inclined Giants that are Mr Dan Moore and Mr Sean McAdam. Can we also say that we’d like to speak to anyone currently doing sixth form geography..

THIS NEWS JUST IN LATE LAST LAST MONTH - Reported sighting of the Geographical Legend that is Mr Mark Tighe in Kiaramas Home Providing Condominiums Mont Kiara.

A Level results
Research has shown that this year's A Level results were approximately a possible 96.2% better than last year's results, which we must commend everyone involved on.

We must first take this opportune opportunity to congratulate everyone involved who partook in A Level examinations this year and on their results, and hopefully everyone got into the universities of their choice, and if you didn't then it was greatly unfortunate but it all ought to turn out for the better in the end anyway, as nothing is as bad as it seems possibly, all the best.

Mention must go to the extravagantly humble Lee Weng Yew who was the only member of this generation of year 13s who managed to get into the University of Cambridge, which we believe is a highly respected and historic university deeply steeped in academic history, where several prominent Malaysians have been to, such as various politicians and members of the public on high wages, either on tourism related visits or to study at for the general benefit of all involved.

In other news, the DT students received their results later than everyone else because of the EDEXCEL examinations board which offers the opportunity to check one's results online.

So what is to become of the previous and rest of this summer for your humble richly marginal editors?

Contentious bit
Clement 'Chinese' Chew, who will be starting at the University of Manchester soon, is currently operating in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, after having hosted many pool_days gahaha both virtually and physically for the enjoyment of those involved and those not possibly. Also, we have heard reports recently that he is now currently operating in the United Kingdom, along with the greatly modest yet celebrated Chun Wai.

Thomas ‘Agri-business’ Maxwell, will be starting at the University of East Anglia soon, he is currently enjoying life in Norwich. Furthermore

Ben ‘£29.99 football boots’ Bradley, will be starting at the University of Durham soon, now in England, also.

THIS JUST IN
Clement Chew is now at the University of Manchester, Thomas Maxwell is at the University of East Anglia, and Ben Bradley is at the University of Durham.

We sincerely apologise to all involved both internally and externally for the possible time-based discrepancies in the above text, as parts of it were written more than a month ago, and others, today. And on that note, we’d like to try and end with the compliments* to a certain Johan Abdul Rahman Esq. Who we believe is currently involved in a project of some sorts, more information on this as it comes in, or you could just read Matt Rust’s blog..

A short report by Co-Editor 1

Several Historic Stuff to Update on

Incredibly late post, subjects click to long jump jump:
Chinese New Year | Revision | Unrest in Common Room | ISAKL Athleticism | Muse | The Paradoxes of the Great Meng

Whilst lavishing you all with apologies for this late post, we hope to improve our post quality and variety into various interesting school-related issues quickly into the future.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
We shall not wish a Happy Chinese New Year to anyone as this was previously done so in a previous post. Whilst the rest of the year and school were fraternizing not with the enemy, socializing at the various well-known shopping malls around Kuala Lumpur inner area, earning thousands of money through grabbing ang pows, and visiting loved relatives during the recent Chinese New Year break, your humble and diligent editors spent their time staying indoors, spending time at their computers, learning, practicing their handwriting, buying stationary, being sick, and generally trying to stay away from the sun. Amongst other things we also wasted a vast amount of time.

In other news, now that term has started, the dark apocalypse of examinations approaches on the horizon. We wish everyone who wishes to do well in their upcoming examinations, well. And to those that don’t, we do not wish you well in the area of exams.

REVISION DOWN THE DRAIN
With teachers having upped the ante, with more teachers finishing their syllabuses, and focusing on revision classes of the revising nature, for the great benefit of all involved., our analysis has shown so far that there are two main methods of revision for us students:

NUMBER 1: LISTS
NUMBER 2: SPIDER DIAGRAMS

As to whether which method is best is debatable, indeed, there can only be one best sole supreme method for all to use However, which is it? This conundrum has confounded your reflective editors for hours on end, going on into the early hours of mornings, contemplating in dark rooms with dripping water as an added aid to memory, as to the answer to such a paradoxical debacle. Indeed, amongst the masses that are you, our great and high-ranking readers, this predicament has caused a great unrest.

UNREST IN THE COMMON ROOM
Continuing on the latterly typed sentence above, this great unrest has even come close to violence indeed, such is the importance of an issue: lists or spider diagrams. Flailing limbs and punches to sensitive regions abound. So finally, we would like to say that we humbly believe that the answer to the most effective method of revision can be found for obvious reasons in another post of ours ‘Prom – A Preview’.

VIOLENT THEFT OF ITEM OF CONSIDERABLE SENTIMENTAL AND FINANCIAL VALUE
Our sources in the criminal nether regions have brought reports that indicate that an item of considerable sentimental and financial value, namely an Apple ipod has been reported stolen from the lavishly furnished, gloriously decorated, and perfectly structured Common Room.

Initial reports show that the burglary was committed by a foul despicable scoundrel of a man/woman, on Wednesday 28, February 2006, between the 3rd period and Lunch.

Several people in year 13 have confirmed the above reports and an investigation indirectly led gallantly by the respectful editors of this blog, is currently underway. So if any of you happen to have:

• seen someone steal that ipod or
• stolen the/an ipod

We strongly urge you to come forward with information and your personal particulars, as this could prove increasingly extremely valuable in solving this crime for the benefit of all those involved.

Public service announcement of the angry nature and how to bring up your kids: STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG STEALING IS WRONG

Seriously, all of us are still struggling to fathom how anyone in the sixth form could have stolen an ipod, not in the way in which ipods are particularly difficult to steal, but in the fact that that person/s could ever have the audacity and sense of mind to commit such a dastardly act of theft.

Theft isn’t non-existent in this school; we know that, indeed one of our acquaintances had the misfortune to have his handphone stolen, straight out of his bag in school, a few months ago; however, this theft was not by anyone in the sixth form, but by a member of the lower years of the school.

All three editors would like to say that we would gratefully deal humble justice to whoever is caught stealing from anyone.

PERSON WANTS TO BUY AN IPOD
In other completely unrelated news, being well-meaning inferior members of this year group, we seek to continually assist and go out of our ways physically and mentally to help those in need. One person in particular appears to be in urgent need of an ipod, of which details of his need can be found on the rear end wall of the common room. So please, if you happen to have an ipod that you fancy selling off, we recommend you come forward as soon as possible, and help out this person in need for the greater benefit of everyone. Condition and price can be negotiated.


ISAKL Athletics

absolutely OUTRAGEOUS

INJURY-PREVENTION

Yeah was a really good experience Says Clement, applause must be directed in the general direction of our very own Clement Chew (for winning a sack of medals) and to the rest of the athletics team, for their effort-driven performances. ISKL were pretty good but, but Alice Smith emerged out of the pits victorious. They put up a COLOSSAL BATTLE.

A poor MUSE review

Rubbish photo. Hopefully someone will be well endowed as to provide us with some finer invigoratingly better quality ones.

CONFIDENTLY THE Best concert so far ever in this universe with various mentions muscle museum even though that song wasn’t played but this editor wouldn’t know anyway because he unfortunately did not know any Muse songs except two and thus suffered throughout the whole performance and had to resort to shouting in general at random times whilst being vertically disadvantaged meant that got a request to duck down by at least two people and asked to act as a photographer for persons, however, this meant that could see clearly the brilliance that is Matt Bellamy and his fellow bandmembersthatwedon’tknowthenamesof in what was PROBABLY THE BEST LIVE BAND PERFORMANCE EVER so far in our histories. In their age group. (Obviously the Black Shirt Mondays and other sixth form bands also reign in the upper midsts of best live band performances ever but are of different age groups)

Magician Down editor Sir Au Chee Meng was spotted eagerly seated above in the ‘Royal seating’ area along with Maharaja Verun Narula, who both had fantastic views of the concert, albeit from a distance of an approximately at least five miles away, and didn’t have to get washed with sweat from oscillating wildly members of the audience.

We were informed that quite a considerable number of GIS students incld. a few from year 12, the year 12s, did traverse, along with several Alice Smith and a few ISKL students (to name two of our humble rivals to a degree), along to this MUSICAL EXHIBITION OF MIND BLOWING QUALITIES.
Apparently that well-known famous celebrity Azura Zainal, host of SoccaStars Malaysia and the deceased Disney Buzz, was in the audience that night, not that we would’ve known, or if this fact is of any importance for the popularity of this blog. Of which it is

THE PARADOXES OF THE GREAT: MENG'S GALLANT EFFORT TO WIN OVER
In other news, a Chee Meng has recently embarked on a Struggle For Acceptance, choosing the medium of mathematics to act as a representation. The Monty Hall Paradox and some cards being what he used. However as Thomas Maxwell’s blog ohsoimba and Zim's Zimo, and Chee Meng's Magician Down, who recently asked us all to get the fuc k off his blog, have described recently, Chee Meng was not as successful as he possibly would have liked; failing to persuade everyone in gis why you should swap your choice of card for another one.

However, Chee Meng also has a new paradox which is quite crafty indeed, involving mathematics and the lark, which we shall not reveal the solution to as we don't know it, and let the denizens of the populace figure it out themselves, whilst Chee Meng basks in adoration and glorifying of the very humble nature.

Yeah and as always, hopefully better quality material will follow.

More eyes.

Following a recent conversation with his cousin, Co-Editor 1 has been quite obssessed with acquiring photos of eyes. Therefore, below are some photos of eyes that have been carefully taken by the use of an Olympus u700 7.1 megapixel camera. Great thanks must go to correspondents Sebastian Schellerer, Marco Fuchs and Max Kuenen of Year 8 for kindly posing for their respective photos.

Newspaper

If you really can't be bothered about the new newspaper released this morning, at this present time, then please save your bother from reading the following, and when you do get bothered, you can return to this later to consume in a literal sense. Alternatively, just wait for the next more relevant articles and blogcast/s.

Today, we witnessed during morning registration the release of another school newspaper, the ambiguously titled 'Fertilisation Initial' in addition to those already present: INK, Access, and the Weekly Newsletter.

FERTILISATION INITIAL

Sort of what the new newspaper looks like

We would like to say that we applaud (earlier this morning applause was made, in addition to that of exalted diginified YET humble Head Boy Benjamin Goh's celebration of his birthday) any positive contribution to the reading entertainment welfare of our school, be it be of a competitive nature.

But.

The somewhat anonymous nature of this newnewspaper though, annoys us minimally to some extent.

Afterall, secondary to our purpose of fulfilling the demands of you our readers, is our observation much obliged that we can't help noticing the minimal similarity between the 'Year 13 Camp' article in the newspaper, and our contrasting account here, in particular to paragraph two in the newspaper. Infinitely no offence intended to those behind the new newspaper, but reading somewhat the same narrative twice isn't the most satisfying of pursuits, even if it is one paragraph. Or perhaps it is purely a coincidence, where in that case we applaud the writers behind the new newspaper for also being witness to such an event.

Additionally, a few things in relation this new newspaper have somewhat disheartened us to a minimal degree, and we (Ben, Clement, and Thomas) would like to raise a few points to clear them up uprighteously:

• the mislabeling of two co-editors, or indeed, the three editors of this blog, as being those who were chiefly behind this new newspaper
• we did not arrange for an interview with Mr. Smith
• we did not write any of the articles in such a paper released this morning
  
• we did not print such a paper (Co-Editor 1 being known to be severely lacking in cash flow, Co-Editor 2 known for excessive loan-consumption, Co-Editor 3 spending much of his money on a certain significant other party)

Unequivocally, we editors simply would currently not have the time to indulge in the pursuit of writing such a newspaper, having plenty of essays to do in Economics and Business Studies, football and basketball to attend to, amongst other things, aside from building up material for the next onslaught of posts for this elevated blog.

We hope that the next issue of this newnewspaper does not stir up as much conflict amongst us as this issue has; neither decrease the atom-like reputation of this blog. Please, we don't particularly like (wrong) rumours being spread with regards to ourselves, so we hope we have cleared up them. Indeed, we shall refrain from mentioning the potential people we believe to be behind this new newspaper, until we can get direct confirmation of their direct involvement.

We must say that these editors did have the idea a while back (this led to Co-Editor 2 misinforming a few members of our year this morning (which he regrets uniformly) the allegations that Co-editor one may have been directly responsible for the articles printed in the new newspaper today, however, we seek possibly to deny these accusations with the utmost prejudice) to release in addition to this, this blog in newspaper form.

However, the release of the exceedingly glossy and righteous student newspaper recently, that is INK, by enterprisingly agile glorious members of the year below that of us, meant that we gave up on our giseye newspaper idea rather quickly.

Review of Fertilisation Initial:
- monochromatic. INK, to us at least, not that our opinions matter a great deal to anyone of concern much obliged, is much more pleasant on the giseye
-/+ blocks and blocks of text (would be much enjoyed by those who enjoy reading excessive words)
- lack of identity
+ lack of spelling errors (Co-Editor 2 was much appeased)
+ effort
+ nicely structured
+ nay

Indeed, we were informed a couple of weeks ago by those behind INK that their next issue is due out soon, which we shall look forward to greatly. And unbiasedly, whenever the next issue of Fertilisation Initial comes out, we also look forward to greatly. Just a note that who is behind Fertilisation Initial, if you're reading this, please don't take our above comments in negativity or be discouraged, as we wholly support with all hands uplifted the publication and release of yours, INK, the Weekly Newsletter, and Access, as reading materials for our beloved school.

Our apologies unequivocally for such an article, being of not much positivity, and hence not very pleasant in terms of what you had to read. That is, unless you take unboundable pleasure reading negativity, in which case we have served our purpose of appeasing you readers.

Normal service shall resume very soon, with a few articles and a couple of blogcasts to come up.

CCCCAmp

Well, well, well, so camp's over. After a few days last week of the greatest looking-forward-to-ness of feelings, camp has flown past us.

Journey: out
Initially, as all camp's start, at Friday lunch.

We boarded a large coach. a few members of the year (two of the editors Thomas Maxwell and Clement Chew included) choosing to sit separately in a small white van, and a few others more taking a large busty private car, to journey into the general direction of the East Coast Sommerset Resort.

The obligatory chatter filled the air of the bus for the first half hour, then it subsided as people got bored of talking to each other and drifted off into sleep.

Meanwhile, in the van, the two editors Clement and Thomas, were indulging in some close quarters baroque classical music through the rear end of the vehicle.


Minibus enjoyment - if you look closely you can see us in the bus up front

As our journey drew on, various punches were thrown and a slight mishap as the van suddenly levitated due to clement standing up and sitting down rather quickly. All problems aside the destination was reached in their little white bus relatively safely and bags.

Returning to the bus, some bright member of our year had the brilliant idea of watching the thought provoking visual feast that is Paparazzi, which basically involves:

• someguyfamousfordoingsomethingiforgot gets angry at photographer man for taking pics of his child playing football
• paparazzi man goes away and returns with other paparazzis (and bizarrely an Englishman as well), who then make it their life mission to indirectly kill the famous man
  
• the famous man returns the favour by making it his life mission to kill all of the paparazzi posse
  
• the famous man cunningly deceives grey haired detective, despite the detective discovering much valuable bleedingly obvious information evidence
• paparazzi lose cause they all get killed. famous man now a murderer of five people wins
  

Unfortunately, your editor was unable to fully enjoy the visual sensation that was the film, as the palpitating initial camera flashes at the start, and the short sequence in the middle with that screechingly high frequency noise being emitted from a security camera viewing monitor, coupled with the Bomba Stereo Bomba thundering audio, a large speaker conveniently placed directly over your correspondant's seat. This editor regrets very much.

We conclude that the bus journey wasn't that eventuful, and those of you that didn't go, didn't miss anything with regards, to the bus trip.

Arrival
So at around 5.30, we all arrived at the resort Somerset, colonial style columns galore.

After a short violent commotion involving Yi Xuan losing his bag, Chris and Julie called for order in the crowd gathered on the main steps (your impatient honest editors amongst the crowd), and we were given our room keys and ordered off into our small well kept white colonial rooms.

Unfortunately, this editor (plus Abdur, Taha and Mhd), upon entering their room (254), were immediately knocked out by a blast of stale air being produced from the room within.

The theory was then drawn up that this may be due to the fact that the room hadn't been used for an extremely long period of time, however, this editor was unable to continue further with the growing exciting discussion that was starting about this theory, as he was dragged out by a SimonNo. Various wheeling and deeling of where two peoples were rooming was then carried out, part of which can be found in Meng's account.

This all wasn't really important anyway, and I'm sure you're not to bothered to find out the outcome, so the time shall be fast forwarded a little; skipping the saga of large thick branches obtainal, the ensuing battle against an inanimate object that soon followed, the toxicity of the East Coast non-land area.

Dinner and food
We must say that the food at the Somerset Bay and Beach Colonial Resort was of the highest quality. All three editors, and the incredibly vast majority of our fellow year 13s, thoroughly enjoyed gorging upon the buffet food spread conveniently located in the dining area for us at dinner time 7.30pm and at all the other meal times we had during camp.

A Clement Chew was witnessed to indulge in five main courses, whereas your potentiallyfutureanorexic co-editors could only handle two main courses each, leaving space for a cup of tea and one sugar at the end, Clement Chew had three cups of coffee and one cup of tea at the end it must be said.

A Taste Sensation we must say. Although it mightn't have been the bestest elitemost of food that we've ever tasted, it certainly left us feeling quite full and satisfied after the respective meals, which must've been good. And was most definitely better than this poor as piss of an excuse for food:


soil

Camp food, even the cutlery tasted nice. Although a Stephanie Siow did experience a nauseaous experience.

Main day Saturday
It started off quite late for all of us, except for Yi Xuan Fariq and co, whom were eating breakfast way before anyone else.


unfortunately the wind had taken control over yixuan

One of the highlights of this camp for us (or rather, solely myself), was the brilliant gusting wind that blew in from the sea in the early mornings and late at night, enough wind to blow sand into your eyes, to lift your shirt swiftly off your back, and to transfer large portions of the beach into the swimming pool, but not enough to knock you back. Sort of like feeling one of Clement Chew's violent limb thrusts that always appear to just miss their target by fractions of a millimetre. Miracles, they are.

So, after an uneventful breakfast, which was a taste sensation. We were called into a small long meeting room with excessively oddly luxurious gold curtains. Here, Ellis explained various aspects of exam revision, the finer points of finding one's inner chakra through meditation, with the visual aid of technology through a dark blue powerpoint presentation.

Two of your honourable learned editors simultaneously engrossed themselves in the presentation, whilst constructing a pretty pathetic paper airplane each utilising the handily provided A4 white paper. 4m range

Afterwards, was a talk on etiquette by Cope. Then lunch that was a taste sensation.

Saturday Afternoon
Beach football, necklocks, wrestling melees, water polo in front of a silent audience, Chris Ho mauling, general fun all round.

Beach foootball, I gained a new fantastic appreciation of. Prior to playing the beach football, I was moaning on to a paki (no it's not racist is aussie racist) about how overrated and drastically shit and ankle and feet pain inducing football on the beach is, HOWEVER, upon wandering around, occasionally dribbling a football, and attempting to increase slide tackling acceleration on the proper well laid out beach football pitch, - despite the severely undulating ankle killing sand - beach football was as wholly agreed by your editors, an enormously enjoying limbs flailing experience.

Shame about the crowd for the football on beach though, commentator Rust made up for that a bit though. One downside of beach football though, is the sand literally murdered one's feet, leaving red incisions and pain all over.

After we all got tired of beach football at around 2pm, a dash to the pool and water polo excellence then commenced, Chris Ho quickly volunteering to act a replacement for the goalmouth. What surprised us was how long we actually played water polo for, pretty indeed long actually.

After that at mid afternoon:

Useless telematch. Not too sure why, although we're sure there's a wholly valid sensible and logical reason why we all got facepainted before the telematch started.


Not too sure what they're doing there..


Not too sure what they're doing there...

And there was a little valiant (a little pathetic intheend) attempt to sabotage Chris Ho Sandcastle and sandcastle next to us by rerouting our teams glorious irrigation channels towards such castles, and then breaking the dams to release the oddly sickly orange coloured seawater upon the sandcastles...

Perhaps your editors should not pursue careers in wheat agriculture and investment banking respectively as water irrigation engineering is the way forward, fate more like

Horror stories and fear and early morning beach wanderings
Night we had a dinner, a barbecue that was rained off by rainclouds. After that was Football in room 253 cause a rebellion had been staged with a refusal to watch football in the gold curtains conference room. Despite the three person capacity of room 253, all the proper men of the year were able to file into the room and watch the match/distracted by ds/play vernun narula in cards, plus a few well meaning girls came along as well.

Unfortunately the hotel management weren't Newcastle nor West Ham supporters and outrightly refused to change the channels over from espn to starsports at 11 o clock after the liverpool chelsea match. Several excitable young Indian men on bicycles behind the lobby refused to help either. Which was all a little shit I must say, despite the extrovertly orgasmic happiness of editor 3 and a VernonNarula after Liverpool's defeat of LeonJala Chelsea.

WHY AGAINST NEWCASTLE?
Why, the fuck why indeed.

11.30 pm, ensued out of nowhere a large group of female members of our year group, led by the righteous Aarti, descended upon the room of the dormant Christopher Ho (room 252). Minutes before hand, this editor was lambasted to be quiet in the corridor. This editor dulely obliged.

Afterward, a BT induced mass widespread fear into a group of several girls at around 1am.

Last day
Unfortunately, camp rushed by too fast for us. A supremely relaxed session of beach volleyball in the late hours of the morning was enjoyed highly by all involved. Nadhir teaching us all a strict lesson in volleyball, Yi Xuan's technique failing him. A final lunch at the hotel which was indeed also a taste sensation it must be said.

Screeching tyres and various damage to powered vehicles on the way back, in Tokyo Drift. A little better than the murder-inducing awful Head of State.

camp.
Really GOODDD

Sorry For The Delay

Sorry For The Delay

We collectively, GISEYE, would like to endow you all with our INFINITE APOLOGIES, for the reason being our lack of any updates for a grand period of exactly one month. Or, if you’d rather not waste your time reading the material we write, we apologise for updating.

If you require an apology in person, we will only gladly oblige to provide one in verbal and physical form.

In other news, to have happened over the past month in no particular order (although there is an order, an inexplicable platonically romantic prize for who correctly guesses it)

1. Prom (we were, unfortunately, very wrong)
2. Disco Inferno
3. Interhouse Softball
4. Some mysterious Cheerleading sessions
5. Eid Ul Adha
6. Christmas
7. New Year (several members of our year enjoyed Souled Out, others, Karaoke, others, home)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Not a Merry Christmas and Not a Happy New Year If You Are:

• Not of the Christian faith
• Following a different calendar
• An enemy
• Undergoing negative emotional difficulties
• Unfortunate, Generally
• Probably if you are emo as well

Picking up on a magician down, although we’re not too sure as to the definition of emo itself, we editors collectively reckon that being emo involves:

we reckon it involves being a person who wishes to gain attention from certain peoples or to make themselves part of a group as they cannot fit into society and involves secluding yourself from modern activities, and emotions such as being happy, and trying to act like you have some sort of super emotionally advanced brain - which enables them to achieve superbly extreme emotions - which they do not have

An almost certainly more reliable source defines emo as:

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

Being eloquently respectable editors, we don’t in truth understand the above. So to help clear things up, we pronounce the topic of this post as ‘Defining emo’ therefore please feel free to add your own definitions and various other general comments of a positive nature.

In fact, we’re getting quite irritated by the word ‘emo’ right around now, or perhaps you’re getting (as we are) annoyed at us, for our continuing discussion of that word, so we’ll stop, and instead start discussing about something else.

Filth aside, we feel that if you want to be something, then be it, after all, this is we believe, the time of your life where you learn what your personality, and character really is, so who’s to say what you should be? If you don’t understand that, then imagine a small hermit man living in an isolated acoustically-perfect cave, we don’t know how he appeared there, but that’s aside the point, point is, he’s got no one to tell him what kind of person he is, so is he of no kind? Kindless? Personalityless? Whether you want to become what we’ve been narrating above, gothic, ah-beng (Co-editor 1 may disagree violently with being this), ah lian, fashion-conscious, tall, or whatever really. It’s a free world. Air is free. Do what you want, when you want.

But emos really do...suck. honest. Come on get over yourself, prats

SONG

Which brings us nicely onto the subject that the band OK Go, with their song ‘Do What You Want’ (get it http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/site/music-plus/), is the incredible most catchy and addictive of music. It’s community head-banging in the safety of our rooms and empty spaces in public areas-galore. hooked to that catchy guitar riff thing. Perhaps you think it’s overplayed, repetitive, meaningless lyrically mainstream rubbish. So as ever, it’s up to you as the reading public really.
We also liked the video.

In other news,

EXPLOSION

Recently we have witnessed with our own GISEYES, an explosion in blogs in the sixth form internet community.

Why, the sudden interest? Why, the sudden coming out? Why, following the crowd? We, utilizing the various statistical tools we have at hand, and after careful analysis, have come out with a number of severe consequences of the recent flaring up like a rash, of blogs:

• Even more people getting blogs, up to a point where everyone in the year bar-none will own a blog, and then people will start getting two blogs each, or four each, posting about the days they could have had.
• Those that don’t have blogs will form an anti-blog clan. And spam the facilities of current blog owners, whilst stirring up negative emotions and hatred towards them. Resulting in the downfall of several of the smaller weaker blogs, and
• Someone posting something slightly indirectly inflammatory-ily pessimistic towards a member of the staff of our educational institution. Result being the closing down of all blogs. The few that survive will communicate with their viewers in paper or verbal form
• Nothing

But aside from that ambiguous forecasting above, we all feel that the recent spate of an uprise in blogs, is all for the better. For the better of bringing our year closer together, as we get to know each other better, unless of course, all that is blogged about are cleverly constructed lies to mislead the general reading public; for giving bored sixth formers at home something to do; for giving us editors something to fill up our trivial lives with; various other currently mysterious social benefits, SHALL SOON BE REVEALED. TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT.

NECESSARY COMPLIMENTS

In fact, some, if not all, of the recent new blogs (Magician Down, Kit’s Abyss, Ann, that is all) to have gone public are of a high quality, better than this vagueencouraging-fest. We’ve been recently impressed with the intellectual eminence being produced non/representing our year. More please.

Other compliments must be directed at the cast and everybody involved with disco inferno, a recent audible and visual feast for all to enjoy. The performance was a success of a positive nature in all aspects for the 3 night duration that it ran (bar annoying elders who do not know the meaning of 'silent' function on phones). Congratulations to everyone involved once more and may there be more to come from our wonderful drama department!

It was very good. Several stamps of approval all round.

SEX

To CHEE MENG, it’s not rape it’s surprise sex. Not it’s not it’s rape. And rape is serious. And we at GISEYE wholeheartedly unequivocally oppose rape.

And on that fitting note, we end. but not forever, not like NO YOU'RE NOT BACK Andy’s blog (expected to make a glorious comeback).

Expect future updates in the future.
