CAP Council 2006
JC Councillors
Shu May
Hi everyone! I'm Shu May and I'm the Head Councillor for CAP 06.
Even though I'm only 17, I feel quite ancient because I've been around for 5
years, participant in 02 and 05, and councillor in 03 and this year.
I shall now tell everyone a random fact about myself! I was from RV (hurhur) and
I'm quite proud of my school, even though many of my friends say that I've the
lamest form of humour ever. But it is okay, because in CAP we all love each
other to bits.
Do try to love CAP too! I shall save more of my Wise Sayings for my first
aCAPpella column haha.
Judith
Judith Pearl Jacob is female, detests her middle
name and remains blissfully oblivious to her impending doom (read: A levels)
at the end of the year. Judith means 'Fun' in Hebrew (I bet you would have
believed me if I hadn't put in the parenthesis). Judith's mother tongue (or
at least according to the good people at MOE) is French. Sometimes the civil
service marks her race down as Ceylonese. Sometimes she's classified as
"Others". Judith doesn't understand bureaucracy.
Judith debates (perpetually), likes paleontology, football and Vogue. She's
partial to abstract expressionism and runs marathons. She's tone deaf but
still insists on playing the bass (badly). She's looking on the bright side.
She's decidedly pro-choice, anti-war and armed with a strong social
conscience. She can bench press and pump more iron than your average 18 year-old
male and Judith is a thespian. She doesn't know which statement is scarier.
Judith is a poet. Or at least she tries to be. Failing that, she's a
self-declared one.
Judith is a photographer, baseball player, activist and historian.
She's a painter and a huge fan of The Strokes. She also makes fantastic mud
pies. Judith is a big fan of T.S. Eliot, Lon* Islan* Ic* Te* [Ed:
No alcoholic references! I Censor you!] , Mosh Pits and
geography. She believes in the invisible pink unicorn and evil purple oyster.
Judith is a potter, canoeist and economist. She likes Sudoku. She sleeptalks and
loves her dogs. She's a good friend of Hyperbole, Embellishment and
Exaggeration. She tells the best stories. She finds mathematics offensive and
not recycling even more abhorrent. She's in perpetual motion and likes Dangerous
Liaisons. She won't worry her life away. But she'll worry bout yours for a week.
Brendan
Brendan Mark Foo is currently a J2 student in ACJC. He is a nice traditional
Catholic boy who goes to church regularly and is pro-life. He is fun,
approachable and does not bite. He likes little children. Brendan may be bought
over by vanilla ice cream, white chocolate, potato chips
(Ruffles or Kettle Chips only please) and GRAPHIC NOVELS. Brendan finds it markedly disconcerting
to write in a continuous third-person. There was a time when he (long ago) once knew how to write. That day
has left him. Now all he writes are essays arguing that some superpower in some
Cold War did something to someone that caused something else.
 Brendan is a musician. Music flows through his veins. He breathes semibreves! (hur
hur) [Ed: Oh my...] He plays mediocre piano as well as timpani, drumset and most other
percussion instruments. His adores Sinatra, Jason Mraz, The Thievery
Corporation, Hot Hot Heat, Coldplay, as well as -- [Ed:
no listing]
Brendan does not understand what the fuss over soccer is
about. And he has no ball sense whatsoever, so soccer and basketball etc are all
out for him. He does enjoy badminton, tennis, golf and swimming, though. So you
might want to give him a call to get something going.
[Ed:
No solicitation]
He likes to believe that he possesses a smidgen of
political consciousness, so if you speak to him he'll tell you that the Workers'
Party should've won Aljunied GRC. It might be useful to note that Brendan has
gained a considerable reputation for his ability to fall asleep under any
circumstances. So if you ever catch him with his famous pre-sleep face, please
do not do anything to irk him. If you ever catch Brendan asleep and it's not
urgent (like life-or-death urgent) and you wake him up or mess with him, he'll
maim you. That aside, Brendan loves CAP, having been around since...urm...Right.
Anyway Brendan loves CAP and he loves CAPpers. So he'll take good care of you.
If you need any help, you may contact him at -------- [Ed:
No solicitation! Number deleted.] Debbie
Debbie
is from Hwa Chong, was in CAP 05, is in CAP 06 as a councillor. That would
probably be enough to sum it all up, but screentime is for exploitation, really.
Debbie does drama, used to be in choir, and can thus
claim to be multi-talented to a certain extent. She writes poetry, dreams
of sunsets, eats oranges every morning, sleeps with a baby pillow and does
other various assorted things. She is supposed to be a great listening
ear,
provided you can get through the very busy hotlines. That being said
however, she'll be your rock if you need her and I suppose that's really the
only important thing you need to know. Yingxiang
This particular councilor has a penchant for confusing faces and
school badges (and occasionally names as well ¨C such as names like Kevin and
Kelvin and Calvin and Cavin, the last of which she reckons should not be Oxford
Dictionary-approved), and therefore apologises before she mixes up the Eudoras
with the Theodoras, or the RI boys with the SJI boys.
[Ed: This is what happens when councillors refuse to hand
up columns on time.]
She
is also a sleep-Nazi, and is guaranteed to come down on you like the Gestapo
should she catch you awake during hours when you should be asleep
(i.e., hours during which she would
rather be sleeping too). Generally though, a nice and thoroughly approachable
person. Just make sure you never offer her fruit cakes. Secondary
School Councillors Chu Ting
 Hello
all! I am Chu Ting from Nanyang Girls¡¯ High, one of the junior councillors
(read: oppressed) [Ed: It's not even beginning...]
of CAP 2006. Former minion spawned from ¡¯05, I bring great Evil and Nastiness
to this year¡¯s CAP; you all had better tread lightly for I am mental-peril
embodied. Though in truth, my company is quite delightful, I do not bite. My
associations risk immediate corruption and incoherence, a fearsome prospect but
nonetheless rather yummy.
[Ed: Surely, a mate for Jianyang!]
In
all, I am a loving creature. If you like me, I will like you. :D Will now strive
to shroud myself in Great Mystery and shutteth up. Till CAP we meet!
 Nadia

the likes : cats, cows, green.
the hates : chemistry ):
nadia is tall. her favourite subject is english and she loves acting. her
favourite days are sunny days. she owns a fat pet cat named chester. when she's
in a bad mood, she submits to quick outbursts and is sorry ten minutes later.
when she's in a good mood, she can go extremely hyper and high. prone to singing
random songs off-key. she can speak chinese and malay (phwoar) thanks to her
mixed parentage. she is prone to paranoia and is passionate about her
passion(s) (err...) SOCIABLE! she likes referring to herself as the third
person, and is looking forward to meeting you in CAP `o6!
[Ed: Next time Nadia refuses to use proper punctuation I'll
fine her. Singapore is a fine city hurhur.] Geneve
[Ed: I always misspell it as Geneva]
(I generally refrain from being cheesy but in this case I
simply can't refuse.) Hi, I'm Geneve - but you can call me Tonight. (joke falls
flat [Ed: You're right];
but she moves on.) Although I'd much prefer if you address me as Ge, (not as in
the Mandarin equivalent of `brother' ¨C the other logical pronunciation) it
really doesn't matter what you call me as long as you know that I'm the RG
councilor, the one who will be
traipsing about in a green-black-white tie, who attended CAP in 2004,
took off for a year and is currently making a happy reappearance at
Eusoff Hall. David [Ed:

to other people wand make others have fun. Ahhh... fun is fun.
By the way, a picture speaks a thousand words, and so do I. If you
want to get to know me better you can either attempt to engage in a
conversation with a picture of me or speak to me. Hopefully it your
choice will lead to an enlightening experience. [Ed:

Hello everyone! I'm Hoh Jian Yang from the High School side of Hwachong
Institution and I will be one of your councillor-slaves for CAP '06! In
introduction I am 16 years old - was a fresh new CAPper just like you in year
2004 - and will be taking a week off the insanity that is the O-level track to
immerse myself in the buffet of lovely glorious CAPness! I think to say that I
am honoured to be on this year's council perfectly encapsulates my feelings
towards CAP, and within a few days all you young, delicious CAPpers will
definitely share my sentiments.
One of the things I think is wonderful about CAP is how everyone can just talk
to each other without reservation, so if you have something to say to me, or
anyone for the matter, just say it! Although I may look kinda tough and
unsavoury I assure you underneath the crust I am pink, juicy, and tender, and in
the eventuality that we get a crop of raw, salty CAPpers, never fear: I am sure
that the flames of CAP will make sure they are all well-done after five days and
ready to be diced into neat, even portions and served with a side salad. [Ed:
Am I the only one who's even vaguely disturbed by the fact that Jianyang is one
of the councillors in charge of food?] Senior-Senior
Councillors [Ed: Read: Ancient]
 Clarisse
clarisse - is usually asleep at most times of the day. she's 19, been in cap
twice, hates oranges, and likes providing people with random and irrelevant
facts to distract them from the subject at hand. she loves good rock - none of
the punks nowadays please - and taking pictures while pretending they're
actually arty. has tried to get a suntan for years without success. it probably
shows.
Fadhly
Mohamad Fadhly bin Jasni would love to say that he's a
fantastic writer, but he's really quite run of the mill; he's never written a
single piece about his homeland, simply because his words wouldn't do the
subject matter justice. He'd love to claim that he's a renowned DJ who earns
enough from his sets to cover his extravagant lifestyle, but all the sets he
does are for friends' parties and usually for free, which leads people to
believe that the boy frowning
furiously at the laptop in the corner of the hall has nothing to do with the
music that they're dancing to and everything to do with an antisocial
pornography addiction. He would even go so far as to say that he's pretty
accomplished with the guitar, but really, the last gig he played in was 2 years
ago and since then he hasn't touched a single string, the lazy twit.
So let's just say that Fadhly is simply happy to be human, glad to have
learnt the value of being alive, and pleased as punch to share it with
anyone who's intrigued enough to stay and listen to his song. Pak
Pak is of an age where nothing is impossible
and yet for which almost everything is sadly unexciting but this is his virgin
cap councilor experience which means he'll almost be as noob as you all are!
O_O but have a little faith in the old bugger, he'll get you through this camp
safely enough. I think. Or your parents hope. Hmm. Anyway, Old Sod likes to play
basketball in his free time, run the century sprint, adores Interpol and Kings
of Convenience and Jeff Buckley and Ron Sexsmith (what a surname), reads Atwood
and Kundera and flips over Gaiman and Morrison [Ed:
Mmm...yes Grant Morrison...Yummy...]. So essentially if you want to
trade graphic novels you know who to find! Oh and lastly, grats on being
accepted in CAP, I got rejected on my first time and it was very sad; it's a
capital [Ed: Oh what a pun!]
experience and I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us here! Thank You For
Visiting Transatlantic Flight 1416 and please don't be missing from your rooms
during night patrols or you shall PERISH. ^^
