Block E

Have any of you ever watched The Green Mile? It's a prison drama centered around "death row", and the movie got its title from the green linoleum flooring that the condemnded prisoner walks on before he is electrocuted on the electric chair.

Here's a picture of the block where "death row" is located in the movie:



It's in Block E.. wahahahaha.... some funny analogy for you to think about as you prepare for your exams. :)

*SOB SOB* SENIOR FAREWELL!! *SOB SOB*

In yet another event that confirms their place as the most happening block in Sheares Hall, Eekers honored their graduating seniors with a grand farewell. There was food! Lots of good food! There was hilarious entertainment, and there were moments of Eeker random madness!

First the food! Juniors (Year 1+2) vs Seniors (Year 3+4) cooking competition! The Juniors were relegated to cook at the disgustingly clean Daredevil kitchen, while the Seniors occupied the position of pride at the Eeker kitchen. Cooking went civilly this year, unlike a similar competition last year between the old and new Block Comms, where one Comm was cruelly ponded by the Daredevils as they cooked in their kitchen, with the approval of a treacherous Eeker Blockhead - who later got ponded himself - serves him right!

Without further ado. The food!



The youthful and energetic Juniors went the adventurous route and made claypot rice, bruschetta, Thai mango dessert, green-tea ice cream and lemon-grass drink, while the Seniors were somewhat more conservative with baked potato wedges with mayonnaise, cheese and bacon bits, sushi rolls, red beans and brownies! Judging was done by the dashingly handsome and suave RF Colin, the elderly but dignified Anthony, and the youthful bubbly Yinghwee!

At the end, conservative won over adventurous, and the Seniors won the competition! Nonetheless everyone put in a great deal of effort and put up a smashing smorgasbord of gastronomic delights!

The performances!


On top of the yummy food, the night was also filled with hilarious performances and beyond-American-Idol singing! The show was hosted by the Eeker's very own Britney Speares and Joyce - I mean Peng Fei - Every Eeker was suitably impressed by Darren's Ukelele skills and songwriting, roared with laughter at the sketches, were almost moved to tears by the beautiful and touching singing , and almost bust a gut at the dance act - which was hopelessly out of sync with the video showing behind them! But the dance act had the most cheers with their daring acrobatics and slick moves!

The enthralled audience!



And finally the random Eeker madness - with Nic abetting Sharon to steal all the sushi ingredients - presumably for their very own nefarious plot to make personal midnight snacks at the expense of all other Eekers. But alas! They were caught in the act by our roving photographer! Honorary Eeker Bingzhi was roped in to be Darren's body double during the Ukelele performance, and Jilyn was seen mercilessly beating Songyun.


Yes folks it was a night of food, fun and merriment! This reporter wishes all graduating Eekers all the best - and remember: Once an Eeker, always an Eeker!

The following is a very touching love story as narrated by a girl........

I have a boyfriend who grew up with me. His name is Jin. I always thought of him as a friend until last year, when we went to a trip from a club. I found that I fell in love with him. Before that trip was over, I took a step and confessed my love for him.
And soon, we became a pair of lovers, but we loved each other in different ways. I always concentrated on him only, but by his side, there were so many other girls. To me, he was the only one, but to him, maybe I was just another girl.
Jin, do you want to go watch a movie? I asked.
Jin: "I can't"
Why? You need to study at home?I felt disappointment grabbing me.
No I am going to meet a friend
He was always like that.
He met girls in front of me, like it was nothing. To him, I was just a girlfriend. The word "love" only came out from my mouth. Since I knew him, I had never heard him say "I love you" before.
To us, there weren't any anniversaries at all.
He didn't say anything from the first day and it continued till 100 days,200 days. Everyday, before we say goodbye, he would just hand me a doll, everyday, without fail. I don't know why. Then one day...
Me: Um, Jin, I...
Jin: What?don't drag, just say..
Me: I love you.
Jin: you...um, just take this doll and go home.
That was how he ignored my three words and handed me the doll.
Then he disappeared, like he was running away.
The dolls I received from him everyday, filled my room, one by one. There were many...
Then one day came, my 15th year old birthday. When I got up in the morning, I pictured a party with him, and stranded myself in my room, waiting for his call.
But ...lunch passed, dinner passed...and soon the sky was dark he still didn't call.
It was already tiring to look at the phone anymore.
Then around 2am in the morning, he suddenly called me and woke me from my sleep. He told me to come out of the house. Still, I felt joy and I ran out happily.
Me: Jin...
Jin: Here...take this...
Again, he handed me a little doll.
Me: What's this?
Jin: I didn't give it to you yesterday, so I am giving it to you now. I'm going home now, bye.
Me: Wait, wait! Do you know what today is?
Jin: Today? Huh?
I felt so sad, I thought he would remember my birthday. He turned around and walked away like nothing had happen. when I shouted..."Wait..."
Jin: You have something to say?
Me: Tell me, tell me you love me...
Jin: What?!
Me:Tell me
I put my pathetic self behind and clung on to him. But he just said simple cold words and left.
"I don't want to say that I love someone so easily, if you are desperate to hear it, then find someone else." That was what he said. Then he ran off.
My legs felt numb...and I collapsed to the ground. He didn't want to say it easily...How could he!.
I felt that... Maybe he is not the right guy for me...
After that day, I stranded myself at home crying, just crying. He didn't call me, although I was waiting. He just continued handing me a little doll every morning outside my house.
That's how those dolls piled up in my room... everyday
After a month, I got myself together and went to school. But what made the pain resurface was that... I saw him on a street...with another girl...
He had a smile on his face, one that he never showed me...as he touched the doll... I ran straight back home and looked at the dolls in my room, and tears fell... Why did he gave these to me??
Those dolls are probably picked out by some other girls. In a fit of anger, I threw the dolls around.
Then suddenly, the phone rang. It was him. He told me to come out to the bus stop outside my house. I tried to calm myself down and walked to the bus stop. I kept reminding myself that I am going to forget him, that it's going to end.
Then he came into my sight, holding a big doll.
Jin: Jo, I thought you were pissed, you really came?
I couldn't help hating him, acting like nothing had happen and joking around. Soon, he held out the doll as usual
Me: I don't need it.
Jin: What?.why?
I grabbed the doll from his hands and threw it on the road.
Me: I don't need this doll, I don't need it anymore!! I don't want to see a person like you again!
I spitted out all the words that were inside me. But unlike other days, his eyes very shaking.
"I'm sorry..." He apologized in a tiny voice. He then walked over to the road to pick up the doll...
Me: You stupid! Why are you picking up the doll?! Just throw it away!!!
But he ignored me and just went to pick the doll.
Then...
"Honk Honk!!"
With a loud honk, a big truck was heading towards him.
"Jin! Move! Move away!" I shouted....
But he didn't hear me, he squatted down and picked up the doll.
"Jin, move!"
HONK!!
*Boom!* That sound, so terrifying.
That's how he went away from me.
That's how he went away without even opening his eyes to say one word to me. After that day, I had to go through everyday with guiltiness and the sadness of losing him.
And after spending two months like a crazy person
I took out the dolls. Those were the only gifts he left me since the day we started going out.I remembered the days I spent with him and started to count the days- when we were in love..
"One...two... three..."
That was how I started to count the dolls...
"Four hundred and eighty four... four hundred and eighty five..."
It all ended with 485 dolls.
I then started to cry again, with a doll in my arms.
I hugged it tightly, then suddenly...
"I love you, I love you"
I dropped the dolls,shocked.
"I...lo..ve..you??"
I picked up the dolls and pressed its stomach.
"I love you I love you"
It can"t be!
I pressed all the dolls' stomach as it piled on the side.
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
Those words came out non-stop.
"I love you"
Why didn't I realize that???.
That his heart was always by my side, protecting me.
Why didn't I realize that he love me this much...
I took out the doll under the bed and pressed it's stomach, that was the last doll, the one that fell on the road. It had his blood stain on it.
The voice came out, the on that I was missing so much....
"Jo...Do you know what today is? We've been loving each other for 486 days. Do you know what 486 is?
I couldn't say I love you..... Um... since I was too shy. If you forgive me and take this doll, I will say that I love you.. Everyday...till I die.. Jo... I love you!"
The tears came flowing out of me. Why? Why? I asked
god, why do I only know about all this now?
He can't be by my side, but he loved me until his last minute.
For that.. and for that reason... to me..... it became courage... to live a beautiful life...

It's better to lose your pride than to lose someone you love





Clarice
Never say goodbye, say farewell.
