Public morning musume tracker taken down...suprnova taken down...arggh what is the world coming too...and just before the amended singapore copyright law comes into place. hmmm. Veery Suspicious.

"All bow down before the power and influence of the Singapore Government " - LHL

Damm u authorities! Must u take away my only source of enjoyment?!

In other news i've been hitting the gym alternate days. Results aren't showing however. Which confirms what i have been thinking all along. I'm an ectomorph. Oh well i'm giving it another 2 years (not by choice).

About the only thing i did besides playing xueqis ps2 and watching anime is attending my classmate Revat's singing at this CC thing together with qiuyu weiteen and huayching. For those not in the know revat is also my mummy...although how that came abt..i have no idea. Aniwae shes pretty good she passed the first round of vasantham(sp?) star audition. Supposedly Singapore idol for Indians. if she makes it thru the second round she goes into the finals which will air around jan 20 i think..support her for me k? cos i'll be in the army...buu. gives me the shivers whenever i think abt it.

haven't been blogging much this past week gomen. cos my sisters are home most of the time and i have returned to sleeping early most nights (relatively heh) .

And heres a blow-by blow account of the week
Aniwae originally had cosplay this saturday...first blow came relatively early on our first meeting. Xueqi couldn't make it for cosplay cos she had to go overseas again. Spent the first day going about looking out mostly for odds and ends to make a costume. Second day was spent getting cloth from Chinatown. Second blow came on the third day Tk was grounded on saturday. Thanks to neko-chan ya li and tks grandmother sewing i now have a jacket. Got a purple turtleneck that looks damm gay on me from my mother. Spend 6 hours sawing and filing a stupid block of wood to get a kunai..and when we found out that stella wasn't cosplaying anymore(3rd blow STRIKE!) and that the block of wood probably wasn't going to turn out to be a kunai we changed it to a assasin knife instead. Still have to work a bit on it. Pushed cosplay back a bit and changed alliance from Singapore Anime Club at Jurong to Shiro Tsubasa at Singapore Expo. Which still owes me money btw. So the confirmed date is on 26th december. Which means that i dun have to trudge through town looking like a fool on public transport. YAY! Hopefully more people can make it on that day.

http://www.daphnekhoo.com/audio/ for all your Singapore idol needs. Dead beat going to sleep...

Tooday wasn't quite as wasted as previous days...but still quite wasted.

Went down to grand copthorne whatchamacallit for a "job" interview. Which was basically just this lady coming into this room packed full of boys and picking them off one by one. Aniwae i got a B which translates to just average and since i didn't really help myself i can't really blame her. Although she did have this funny habit of assesing people by just staring at them. As if she could read their auras like that come on lah ask a bit more personal questions. She kept looking at me funnily. As if she couldn't decide whether i was with the beng group or not. Wierd.

Supposedly some harmonica ppl are going caroling in dec..so i rushed back to school to try and catch them...only to see them leaving on the bus opposite. Sigh.

Walked back home and have been playing Disgaea ever since. I just breached the 40 hour mark an hour ago. Its starting to look less stellar now there i'm halfway into the game. Basically in between missions they expect you to train in the ITEM WORLD...so in between each mission the enemies can jumpo like up to 5 levels. But hey wat do u expect from me? I can't be bothered to train that much with no story. So at one point my main character was level 40...at least 10 levels above the nearest character. On hit K.O. Sigh the thing is its only fun while your playing everybody as a group..so i spent 10 hours levelling 5 chars to the same level as him. What a waste of time. At least now i get core group of 6 characters to play with...out of 40. Bleah.

hopefulluy tmr will be much better...going to watch ocean twelve and signing up at the mpcc gym. About time i get some muscles already. I need 50 for membership though...and my salary hasn't arrived yet!!! ARGGHHGH!

wheres my money i want my money arrr...

Thursday, December 09, 2004

Working at my fathers drink stall is quite an eye opener actually...yeah sure joo chiat has fewer hookers and brothels but we do have our fair shair of budget hotels, ktv lounges and entirely legit, pure and wholesome massage parlours :)

So imagine my surprise when this middle aged ndian guy came in with some chio chinese chick in hot pants. None entirely :) however i took it upon myself as a concerned citizen of my neighbourhood watch community to monitor any err hemm 'underground activities' Voyeurs unite!

*warning* the following contains highly mature sexual themes, graphic descriptors of underage sex, nudity and violence. Just kidding :)

Basically to cut a long story short he had his fat grubby fingers all over her, while she was trying very hard not to look too disgusted and bored...and as he was whispering sweet nothings to her in another attempt to get in her pants. After a while they began to notice me staring at them.

Her look said :" Hey boy when u get older and mature like me, when u realise that the government screws u over and takes half your money, when your bf runs off with another girl and your virginity, when you get AIDS from some bisexual sod u met in a club... u would be so willing to sleep with fat middle aged guys for money too"

His look said :" I'm paying these girls way too much...mebbe i shld switch to prepubescent boys? hmmm"

EWWW. Gross. take it somewhere else puhleeze.
Dropped by serenes house on tuesday to look at her com...couldn't do anything much. Darn thing wouldn't crash the whole time i was there and i ahev no idea wats wrong with it. So i ended up watching her pack and playing around with the stuff on her com. Lydia called 2 hours in and umm asked where the hell i was basically so i left for cell group at Cheryls house. Which had a grand total of 4 people including me when i arrived. turns out that they had a retreat the weekend before and every one was so tired that i think they just skipped out on us. or went overseas for the hols. So in the ended we just skipped all the church stuff and ended up watching Shrek 2 instead :) Ohhh yeaaah.

Turns out that Cheryl has a drum set so Crystal taught us how to jam out a few basic pieces. Quite fun actually. Turns out that Cheryl family is going to buy another drum set and are looking for takers for this old one. $600. i told them to wait for my 2 months of ns salary before i'd be able to afford it.

Can't really remember what else i did that day...must have been that hangover from playing games well into the night. I do remember that Cheryl has this young brother called brian. Who for some reason took a liking to me. Hes quite adorable...by himself. kinda reminds me of the kids in the camp. I miss them awww...i have no wish of taking them again however. My ego is still bruised from the last time.

Arrgh my eye they hurt...

Come to think of it ever since the hols started i haven't been playing much 'cept for the occasional Final Fantasy Tactics battle...what with the job and all. Just started on The Longest Journey and Disgaea.

The Longest Journey is fairly easy to classifiy...its basically sci-fic Monkey Island. U noe clickity-click here and there. The thing is i'm like 4 hours in...and its hasn't reached the end of the first disc yet. I dun think its even halfway there. Puzzles are inventive...but unless u got a walkthrough in your hand there no way your going to noe that your supposed to put that clamp on that rope and tie a rubber ducky around it to fish out that invisible key thats stuck in railroad. Thankfully that has only happened twice so far....anymore way out puzzles and its that close to the bin for me. The only thing thats keeping me going so far is the story and the atmosphere...this baby's got it all down pat. Its starting to look like a keeper...

Disgaea on the other hand...is sorta the opposite. Less emphasis on the story...and more emphasis on the dope. Cos this thing is just whacked. Think of it as a cross between Final Fantasy Tactics, Psycho le Cemu and Excel Saga. Its clockful of strategy, parodies and crazy characters. While the strategy games like FFTU just rely mainly on power leveling and equipping the most powerful shit u can get your hands on...Disgaea forces u to rethink that. Sure if your high powered u can bulldoze your way through..but 3 levels within your own it gets freaking hard if you want everybody to survive. theres team attacks, combos, tossing people around, geopanels, an assembly where demons come together to vote on your proposals, and get this...Within each item there is a world called the Item World. And within them Residents and Specialists. And u can move them between items. Its absolutely hilarious.

So if u dun see me anythime soon...i'm rushing through Disgaea to pass back to xue when she gets back home. Tata.

So what happened on prom hmm..

Well headed down to marina square for a while and walked around with joel and qh. Went to Long John Silver first to eat...but they had no fish only chicken left..so we went funan to try our luck but eveything was close...so we headed back to Long John Silver and...it was closed as well. Bloody dipshticks. Ended up surviving on a Mushroom Moshie(sp?) and 200g worth of sweets from 7-eleven.

Later went to ritz carlton to wait for my classmates...they said wait outside at 1045 but what time was it supposed to end? 12 o'clock. Nevermind i thot that they would at least take the courtesy of coming out early if they asked us to come down at that time but nooo they came out at like 1230. So we waited for 2 hours outside there doing stupid (and gay shit). Luckily crystal from band came out with her camera to meet her bf so we could take a look at how pretty(or ugly?) everyone looked in their itsy bitsy dresses and their quadruple layers of makeup. Not too bad hehe...i wished she had brought out some water. And then another one of the band ppl came out..asked him to come with orange juice but came back with plain water instead. haiz. We ended up talking abt how sianz the prom was how small the food was and how taufiks band came with no taufik blah blah. Even the ppl who crashed didn't stay inside for too long...stole a peek at Haniza in her pimp outfit. Sweet. Definitely a lot different from all the usual dresses.

Finally everyone came out and just when we thought we could head over to Sonia's house...they decided to go clubbing instead. WTF? Hello umm couldn't they have warned us beforehand or wateva. I hate it when ppl dun plan properly...in the end we waited outside chinablack for like what half an hour debating abt whether to pay 16 dollars to spend one hour inside and then hate over to sonia's house...or to just leave there and then. saw Michelle with Baolin in a nice black outfit..hmm or any other occasion i would have said she looked pretty hot...but ermm there were a lot of other girls there. She did say before that she wasn't going to the prom but was heading for the party afterwards...so no suprise there.

finally we headed over to Sonias house..spent some time stocking up on drinks and food at seven eleven and then we spent like half an hour again trying to find the house. Saw this cat/rabbit? that was run over by a car. Poor girl. i hope it wasn't a cat. watched The day after Tomorrow with DTS and a overhead projector...sweet. Sonia is a DVD pirate :)U shld see the collection that she has..i think she qualifies for prosecution under the copyright act. Slept for 2 hours before heading over to the camp. Arggh.


Fucking Exhausted.

Not worth it i think...i dun want to spend my holidays this way. Apparently the other two people feel this way too, this girl called Nadia from VJC and this guy Ivan from NUS. They are so sianz already somemore the camp is just following after this. I am supposed to have a one more camp on week 3...but i dun think i want to take that too. We were able to get this job partly because we could come for more than 2 weeks. Aniwae we will see how it goes. Prob i'll do the frank thing and tell it like it is seewhther they can find a replacement...

Anyway i want to award some prizes to the most errm..colorful characters.

Most foul-mouthed- John. called someone "a big fat fuck" and taught me(and everyone else too) how to say gay, shit and damm in malay. Winnar :)

Most wtf is that- Issac. For sprouting random confusing trivia everywhere he goes.

Most useless toy i have ever seen - Mighty Bean. "nuff said

Most dao fellow- Nicholas Chioy (there are two nicholas). Will wander around in circles around me while i talk.

And i hope kenneth gets a heart attack and dies from all the cholesterol in his arteries. fat loser i feel like slapping him for bullying all the younger kids.

I'm never gonna get kids. ever.

And by the the end of the week if the parents dun sue me or ask for refunds i think it'd be a bloody miracle.

lets see...i ask this fat kid to keep his big fat mouth shut. Twice. I taught them oh shit, damm and oh my gawd and came vey close to teaching them fuck...and after my despeate attempts to tell them those are very, very bad words...they caught on and started repeating them. two of the kids under my charge got hurt. one had stubbed his toe on some unidentified metalloid substance the other got his eye poked with a pvc insulation cover. And some p5 kids managed to manhandle me. Little hellfire brats. May them rot in hell. Or in the "Asshole Saturn" that they so lovingly came up with. Space and Rocketry 2004 indeed...

Actually there were quit a few gems...like this jap guy called tsumogu and this bright kid called issac. I bet issac is going to be popular with a lot of girls when he gets older...hes got the doe-eyed thing going on...girls just love that i supposed. there were some horrible ones however who didn't want to learn anything...so i just ignored them. Another oops? haha i dun really care now lah...might come up with a better description on friday when it all comes to an end...

And umm when i sent my mum to the airport on her trip to israel with New Harvest on monday there was this crazy lady spreading the love at changi airport by doing some early "carolling". her repertoire consisted of only 2 songs from what i heard (and mind you i heard for quite a bit...i was there for 3 hours) umm "yue liang dai biao wo de xing" and "silent night" And she mangled the lyrics for silent night. What a traversety. i hope she was carried away in handcuffs or alternatively never get laid for the umm emotional trauma she dealt to all the church going faithful who were there. And if u haven't guess yet...i wasn't one of them. The faithfully-going-church people. Still dunno what to do abt that...but thats another story.

went to animaxation at expo with emi, tk and yuki on saturday. Nothing much to see there most of the stuff we weren't that interested in like 350 books on lighting and rag-doll physics or comic books(the american kind). Half of it space devoted to a wide-screen tv that was playing a (badly) dubbed version of getbackers on animax which shld be arriving soon. Sad to say...i 've better quality subtitled versions of that..so i dunno whether i shld subscribe or not. Still kazuki is the chioest ('',)

yuki and i also signed up with shiro tsubasa which is actually miyuki anime club renamed....shiro stands for white and tsubasa stands for wings..but according to emi as the white is an adjective it shld act be shiroi tsubasa...haha the mac ppl try to gek seh plus the tsubasa part sounds wierd...reminds me of football for some reason... it looks like thats the only way i would be able to keep in touch with jap culture lovers for the next two years so y not. And tk is in denial...eh boy i say that your qualified to be an otaku :)

afterwards went out to eat pastamania. But tk and i were so sick that everything tasted liek paper...so we left like 2/3 pasta on the plate...and emi left like half on the plate bcos it was too hot. We could have just umm like ordered 2 plates...and save the farmers, factory processors, the wholsale distributors the importers the chefs the waitresses a whole lot of trouble :)

aniwae i got a job from tuesday to friday at some educational centre...training was today. Pay is abt 140 for 4 days from 9-5 me and this other guy get to take charge of 18 boys and 1 girl (score!) , all around primary school. Its about rocketery and science...and they are supposed to build a rocket as their main project for all the four days...which me and the other guy called ivan finished in 2 hours. They have other supplementary projects too...but we finished them all too. so iam not really sure how they can stretch it into 4 days...they have been doing this for 5 years so far so i suppose they now what they are doing. I'm supposed to be extroverted and forward apparently so i'm not sure what i'm going to do abt that...conjure up my happy happy konno face for a bit? the other guy is in uni already so hes taking all the upper primary and i'm taking the lower primary paper. The pay isn't that good lah...like abt 4 an hour..but now that i have taken the job i realise i have a larger responsibility than that towards my employers...i have a responsibility as well towards the kids and their parents. And considering that they are licensees of the prog from the usa which means that a large proportion of the money is paid overseas and that they can only hope to hold camps during the holidays...its a fair deal. Neko-chan hontoni gomenasai, i can't go and buy your ps2 on tuesday. Unless you all schedule it for after 6 lah...

First time in eons that i'm updating my blog...abd blogger crashes. Figures.

Aniwae bio was a blur finshed early and went to take a toilet break b4 stoning for like another 10 mins abt halo2.

After it ended i went roaming around bedok for a while with the class guys. Apparently the Rome Total War (pirated call the police! ) that Yx bought was spoilt...so we went to exchange. No dice. Shop closed. So i ended up making my way to expo instead for sitex. Bloody guards wouldn't let ppl in b4 11. I was rewarded however by the sight of 2 models trying to pad their *ahem* costumes. yay free show anyday is a good day.

Came back to parkway just in time for k-box with the guys and cheryl. Wasn't too bad...i think my pitch was somewhat there but i seriously lack depth... I sound like a squeaky mouse. And i ended up fibbing most of my lines cos of the fan ti zhi, and that earned me my first singing compliment . " You sound like jay chou". har har.

And finally came home to my sweet, sweet halo 2. Daddy's waiting for you come to daddy *hearts*. goodbye sleep and food and rest and baths ... going to school for the last time prob to play risk...hmm shld i bring my xbox along?

Friday, November 19, 2004

after chem mcq...of which i shall never ever speak of ever again...i went with jr and tk to visit emi-chan at the expo. Apparently shes working at the john littles warehouse sale for 60 bucks a day :) Damm i feel jealous..

Well at first we spent 30 minutes trying to comb for her to no avail. Hey it was that big its almost 2 halls. But eventually we gave up looking and tk suggested filing a missing person report at the PA counter. So we did :) So paiseh damm was it loud. And her supervisor was standing behind her....wheww i hope we didn't get her into any trouble. Aniwae we spent the next hour toking to her and trying not to look too guilty as it became apparent that she was the only person manning the area (some aretermis clothing line or sth) and ignoring all the customers throwing furtive glances at her direction. And i spent 10 mins trying to turn a lady's blouse inside out(apparently there was some mobius like thingamagig going on). And jr tried to steal clothes hangers. The sale is dirt cheap though 150 dollars blouses going for 9 dollars. U can't really argue with that.

Nth much after that really...went to eat at sumo house. Note to self tempura and soup...doesn't really mix well. I ended up just stirring the soggy tempura pieces round and round the bowl. Not a pretty sight i can tell u...and i finally saw a copy of halo2 :) Now to psyco my mum to get me an early christmas present b4 she leaves for israel...

Oh and i heard abt the kl thingy....3 days and 2 nights are really too short u all shld make it longer...and help me get some ps1 games while you are at it:) Rm 2 dollars per cd the last time i checked...(and that was 2 years ago)

Whoohoo i hope to see emi again b4 i leave for ns...
Going back to school to study for the last remaining stretch...unfortunately while i would like to think that i give a rats ass about my future...its because of more err hemm...pragmatic reasons Posted by Hello

Just got back...got lotsa of stuff to blogs about

hmm lets see where shld i start...

Roof climbing: Climbed up twice. First time thru there was too much lightning so we didn't linger for long. Exited via the comp lab link gate. Second time thru we climbed up the S and T centre, went across to the roof above the science labs and crossed over to the area above the library. Saw qh's breakdancing/free-running? group's "hallmark" there...then proceeded to the t-block via the roof above lt 2 and 4. Saw a bunch of bengs on bike and decided to wave to them. qh and joel nearly castrated themselves when exiting via the spiked protectors while i yx and ky mandaged to slide thru the perforated gate. Went over to v-block and decided to climb over the rain shelter to access level 4 . When there was already a staircase there :) We did pretty much everything we could already...(ladder to the v-block roof was locked) so we just exited from the hole in the v-block side. eunuch(?sp) was too ham(?sp) so he met us there.

Kenna raided by police on sat. had to give name address and ic. apparently some losers went into the lang lab turned on the air-con and triggered the alarm when wanjun has been staying there all this while. Moral of the story :"dun be stupid"

Played polar bear with some of the other muggers...and OMG Rachael is so much like alex its unbelievable...right down to the fact that they can't lie to save their butts. i think i confused everyone by refusing to defend myself.

Had 2 weeks worth of clay worked into my hair by joel in an attempt to tame it. Didn't work. Had to wash my hair twice with conditioners to get rid of one week worth. My hair still stands up in places.

If u want to get a lock in future...the only safe one is a key lock. everything from circular locks to 8 button combinations to 3 wheel rotations can be unlocked. The only exception so far is a circular button combination. Took only 2 satchets of milo and a candy bar. Will replenish b4 J1s get back.

Tried out some new instant porridge thingy and vacuum packed mu dan ..not bad. U have to really stir it well else it all solidifies at the bottom though

Still to do before exams are over : Climb the side of the v-block. Climb linkway.

Am currently dl Elfen lied and Mahoromatic.

sorry i'm practising for my gp the only way i noe how....blogging
instead of spending the day studying for gp i opted instead to hang out in forums and chatroom to keep track on the us election. so it appears that bush is going to win he has 259 to kerry's 252 electoral college votes with ohio still being called. Bush has a 130000 margin in ohio with provisional votes still waiting to be counted. he needs to win only ohio to gain victory while kerry needs to win ohio and 2 more states to ensue victory.

enuff has been said about both candidates so i wun go into that stuff again. It still hasn't changed my opinion about both candidates but the people of america has decided. What i can't accept is how they decided.

I've seen people saying that they have heard no reasons to choose kerry except that he is the lesser of the two evils...so they voted for bush. In response i would like to say....lesser of two evils beats the greater of two evils.

Cmon what do u expect kerry hasn't been president before he has been a senator but no decision he has made has had a huge impact on the country so of course its not surprising he's an unknown both gore and bush were unknowns in the 2000 election. ppl seem to be willing to elect bush simply bcos they dun noe much abt kerry. Thats irritant number one.

two some ppl seem to be aware about bush's mistakes....but they seem willing to give him a second chance. wtf? i say that bush has about a lesser chance of changing his mind and correcting his mistakes than fiona xie ever becoming a serious actress. And thats saying a lot.

three some ppl just seem to hold onto their personnal opinions a wee bit too tightly and asking people to respect that. A personal opinion that is misguided, an opinion based on inaccurate and false information holds as much value as a Russian rouble. Entitlement to a personnal opinion doesn't make that opinion any more truer. Some people just dun seem to recognise that. They have no probs airing their views but once their view gets challenged they run away. If you believe your opinion to be steadfast and true just stay and argue. No need to give excuses. Their votes dun deserve to be counted cos they are stupid.

four it is all about amercias self interest. Granted their election their president their own domestic policies....at the same time though i would have expected them to have at least that little more knowledge in global affairs. No chance. Praising the iraq war as a just cause....ignorant of the sectarian violence in afganistan and uncontrollable street violence in iraq its all so far away to them. Instead..they focus on welfare benefits. Wtf?! So long as the draft isn't mandatory they have as much concern for the war as they have concern for a fugly baby. Its fine as long as u dun look at it. And for that i wish that america gets invaded one day.

fifth the electoral college. the electoral college is like the most fucked up shit i have ever seen. A majority vote by just one can lead to the candidate bagging a max 55 votes towards the goal of 270 votes. Its unfair and they shld revert to the popular vote. Then u wouldn't have the situation of candidates spending all their time in one state. California got a total visit of 2 by bush...ohio 36 by kerry. U get the idea. This idea actually favours Bush because he is ahead in the popular vote...but yeah americas choice americas president. In the popular vote their individual vote would actually count however.

Sixth the bipartisan party system. Two parties is insufficent to represent the broad spectrum of views that is the United states of America. In the end it came down to who could pander to the largest audience by choosing the most optimal spectrum of views to represent. In the process religious convictions are changed....unsustainable promises are given out...contradictions are made at the party and individual level...people end up voting for a candidate because they hate the other...u get the drill.

sleeping over night in school running around without footwear working out in the gym trying to break locker combis climbing the roof and smashing myself silly against the wall in an attempt to climb the side of the v block...man school is a fun place to play...esp when u have ppl like qinhong around :)

just downloaded kino...watched the first ep and i felt like i shld have watched it earlier...mebbe it would have changed my mind about doing cetain things....looks like a very cool series ...

The first batch of farewell photos came rolling in....found some good enuff ones to post...

if u received a msg on your phone asking u to surrender your phone during prac and your wondering why u received it....its bcos of me :)

iichan just died...i'm wondering whether it was bcos of me and my attempt to archive photos by camping there with my trusty firefox browser and download plugin :)....i wished ppl would just donate damm it i would if i had money...and a usable credit card.

ho hum thats it for todae time to post photos...

oh wait i support kerry...doesn't anyone find it ironic that bush is supposed to be the commoner when he was raised in a wealthy family, supports big corporations and free trade and was a white horse in the army and cut taxes for the rich and kerry is the one who was raised in a poor family...supports protectionist measure(for the common worker), worked his butt off in the army and won't raise taxes...and yet he is labelled as an elitiest? I have a feeling that americans are just plain stupid.

closure

after a sms chat with serene last night i have come to the conclusion that i am an asshole.

So this is an unconditional apology to jermee

1)I'm sorry i used this blog to sort this mess out. Bcos even if this is my blog and i want to use this to air out my true feelings, this is an inappropriate platform to terminate that frenship.I am a coward and i don't like confrontation, which is why i took the easy way out. At the very least it warranted a face to face talk; to throw a bombshell like that was disrespectful to u.

2) I'm sorry that i used the word hate. Bcos i dun hate u. U said in a post on your blog that u are not gonna bother if ppl can't accept u for who you are. Yeah i can't, its called a personality clash, its not sth that is wrong with u, bcos as far as i can remember u are a nice person, u care for your frens and you are generous with your frens. I can't take back the words that i wrote bcos in real life u can't take back the words u say but if i could have turned back the hands of time i would have said something to this effect :" I can't dun feel comfortable around you and i dun think we can be friends" which would have made far more sense that what i wrote.

3) I'm sorry for the timing. It came far too late, and it came at a bad time. I would have come clean earlier if not for the fact that u and tk were having some probs....and the last thing i wanted to do was to walk out on ppl who were already troubled by probs with their frens. when u started to turn to me and xueqi i told tk at that time that i couldn't fill the hole that he left and thats why he shld patch things up with u...i waited until i was sure that u guys were ok before i decided to pull this off, but i realised that it cuts extremely close to the a-levels and i'm sorry for any emotional distress i have caused u during this emotionally sensitive time.

4) I'm sorry to your fren yks. Who i have posted quite sarcarstic comments on his blog and over here. Bcos quite obviously he and i have quite diff priorities on wat we think are important to us, he obv values loyalty to frens and is going a rough patch in his life. In his eyes i noe i look like a spoiled brat bcos there are other things that are going wrong in his life which may make mine pale in comparison....but until hes in my shoes and feeling wat i feel hes to me what i am to him.

5)I'm sorry that things didn't work out. Cos u really tried hard to be frens with me and i really tried to reciprocate the favour. however sometimes stuff happens, and well i never thought that i would one day be the one that wreaks havoc, well it turns out i am. And i hate myself for that well i wish u the best in all your endeavours and i hope that one day we will meet again under more pleasant circumstances.

went w/o sleep for 36 hours today. went studying with si qi, hc, revat and davi at tampines...then went to the airport to study...then to school for maths remedial. I think i have very good anti-sleeping resistance....hoping to go one up today...

then went to swensens to celebrate mariettas bdae....i noticed only today that her acne cleared up already...i remember that when she came in her face was poccked like mark lee (ok lah mebbe not so bad)...haha i remember when my acne was really bad too... pimples used to break out quite regularly when i was in secondary school....i used to take a needle and proceed to pop them with vigour...i'm lucky that i dun have any major scars. When the pimple broke u had to squeeze out the yellow gooey stuff inside and then proceed to squeeze out the bad blood and then i would stare in the mirror and see the thick crimson blood flowing down...then i proceeded to squeeze it somemore until it started to hurt and hurt and hurt....there was this morbid sense of satisfaction that always accompanied it. U noe those pins that u used to pin up lame ss articles and stupid jokes yeah i played with them too. I would insert them at a angle into the palm to make this pretty round shape, expecially when i had calluses from doing too much pullups that area became very rough and numb and basically u just poke them inside and try to perform lame weight lifting experiments with the needle..the callus usually tore after i was done. Which is why i think i have very smooth hands now :)

aniwaez marietta is one of those girls who acts bimboish but is act very smart. i am still waiting for her to show it however.

Tuesday, October 12, 2004

hopefully u would already have guessed that it is as good as dead.

its not bcos i dun have the time to update..hell even now i'm surfing iichan and dl stuff. I can't understand ppl when they say they dun update their blogs during exam periods becos they dun have time.

its not bcos i have nothing to write. hell i'm daydreaming half the time...the other half is in front of the com :)

its bcos this blog wasn't what i intended it to be. I let it degrade to wat it has become todae because i became chained to the relationships and the feelings of the ppl who do read this blog, and i didn't have the courage to test them. There are things i do want to share with ppl...but there are also times when i wished to be alone, times when i felt irritated by the ppl around me. And these irritations though they are provoked by my mood, were ever present, they just got supressed by the carefree and playful facade of happiness that i wear on my face each and everyday 24/7. Yet when these moments arrive find myself at a loss for what to do...

In some measure this blog allowed me tof some of that. But even then i separated my emotions into personnas...to preserve this image that i contributed a large part to building. Well guess wat? its all me. MINE. And i became obligated to write this blog for the ppl around me instead of myself.

Well i'm tired of playing this game...

Maybe someone else might have been able to write a blog that was unadulterated, but not me. not when other ppl are reading it.

To my friends: You all have been good friends to me and i appreciate that i really do. u made my stay in vjc much better than what it would had been...but none of u will be my best friends. So i think i'm going to give up any pretense right here and now. And i'm just gonna say abt what i feel abt u all. even for some of those who dun noe abt this blog.

jermee- i hate u. i dunno why. or rather i think i noe why. but i 'm not going to put it here. about the only thing we prob have in common is being friends of tk. For the longest time i tried to find a way in which we could bond but in the end the only thing that came out of it was that u would try to sustain the convos by yourself and i would go back to my day-dreaming. And it became such that i dread going to your house or going out in a group with you.

tk-i really dunno what to do abt u. u have introduced me to a lot of cool stuff on the net and a lot of the music i like was suggested by you...and u were the one who really got me hooked on anime. But in the end when i think about it our friendship was built on common interest in the things we like...and thats not a bad way to start. but i feel as if it didn't progress beyond that. not one bit. I dunno what best frens are supposed to be and u came the closest to anyone...but in the end this is how its going to stay and i dun mind that not one bit...i just wanted to let u noe this. Even now i feel confused...so confused arggh..

xq-i'll come out straight with u. I did have a crush on you. You wanted to know who that girl is? Its you. I tried to divert your attention by making it seem like i had a semblance of an interewst in ql. And then i realised that i was manipulating even my frens. so i'm coming clean. But then again i had a crush on almost every girl that was nice to me...that i think i forgot what it felt like to really like someone. So take it whatever way suits u best...sometimes i feel as if u are really lovable...but there are days when i think u are a stupid bimbo. I'm pretty sure i dun hate u though. Thats all i can say. And if anyone wants to tease her or me abt this can just fuck off

qh-you have a really interesting and strong perspective on things...on some occasions i find it uncannily similiar to mine. And i respect you highly for that...u and ppl like brian. In a class where i thought i would die from the sheer stupidity and the immaturity of the ppl inside u ppl were my saviours. i have to admit one thing...i really hate ppl who are stupid. i dun believe thats elitist or watever but oh well. On the other hand i also respect ppl who are smart enuff to convince me of their viewpts when my own viewpts are so damm biased n unyielding...so yeah. I think its a pity our interests dun match though...

ser-there was a pt when i really thot u were selfish and all...bcos u and daphne according to jaime insisted on having a sdd table when there was obviously not enuff interested ppl...and jaime pressed me too hard and i got really irritated...one of the few times i act retaliated instead of just supressing it...and i didn't really understand what it meant to you..since then i was sitting with my class even and i didn't really fit in with them (as opposed to harmoc...where i act hated some of the ppl in there...just gonna name one daphne) and i didn't see why someone else could't do the same...all the same though as i go to noe u better...in large part through your blog too, u were a whole lot better than what my impression of u was. Which wasn't negative act...but can be summed up best as unremarkable.

others-if your reading this blog and want my honest in your face opinion then leave a msg...

if you have an opinion abt me just post it. keep it real please.

This blog is gonna stay. It isn't going to move to a new address as i tried to do at one pt. And i'm still gonna post in it. Just dont expect more of the same. or expect anything at all. Cos i just might not post anything at aall.

I've got the world on a string..

felt slightly better todae...good enuff to post...not yet to go on msn

aniwaez i thot i had lecture remedial for all subjects...but it turns out i don't :) At least not until monday aniwae....

miss ding is like the most scariest teacher i've ever met...

Studied afterwards with huay ching and davi in a T block classroom. Turned out to be very productive cos as of now....i have only done one chem qns. While just now i did 4. I think i'm going to stay in school to study from now on.

Oh and ppl who are still using IE please download firefox. Seriously. It can block pop-ups, supports tabbed browsing has a rss feed reader that updates your bookmarks, has an extension that lets u dl images in a page in one go(useful for iichan) and more importantly...if u choose not to install the fucking flash plugin it doesn't nag u to install it whenever u go to a flash website.
There an ongoing campaign now to challenge internet explorer and firefox is the best alternative there is.

Ecclesiastes

These are the words of the Philosopher, Davids son, who was king in Jerusalem

"It is useless, useless, said the philosopher. Life is useless, all useless.
you spent your life working, labouring and what do u have to show for it?

Generations come and generations go but the world stays just the same
the sun still rises and it still goes down, going wearily back to where it starts all over again

The wind blows south, the wind blows north-round and round and back again
every river flows into the sea but the sea is not yet full, the water returns to where the
river began and starts all over again.

Everything leads to a weariness - a weariness too great for words.
Our eyes can never see enough to be satisfied; our ears never hear enough

What has happened before will happened will happen again
What has done before will be done again. there is nothing new in this world

"Look," they say, "here is something new!" But no;
It has all happened before, long before we were born

No one remembers what has happened in the past ;
and no one in days to come will remember what happens

Between now and then.

I'm thinking of setting up a gmail distribution channel for all our files until jermee gets his server :) since i have 6 gmail invites. Since gmail offers 1 gb of space...we can upload to our hearts content. Bcos evertime one of us finds sth interesting we have to send it from one person to another and then to another thru msn..which is time consuming and quite inefficient actually. And dl from gmail will be a lot faster than dl from someone. the gmail thing would work this way...

Each person would have one individual account and there will be one master account where everyone logs in and uploads stuff. If anyone finds sth interesting on the master account he or she can msg and i can log in and send it to their gmail account. i'm doing this in such a roundabout way instead of just getting ppl to dl fromthe master acc bcos gmail logs the ip of the person who logs into the account and if everyone just dls from the master account then it would look as if we are using it as a http downloader (which we are :) on the other hand if we just upload stuff from diff ips then it would just look like we are accesing from home or work or school.

The only drawback would be that file attachments are limited to 10 mb in size each...so that means no videos :) However music and images would work just fine.

The main beneficiary would be tk i think lol

So wat 'dy-all think?

Lets see:
english b3
maths 0
chem o
econs e?
bio e?

wasn't unexpected...but was still dissapointed...although i can't really understand why...i didn't finish studying so its only right that i get this kinda results...still u always wish that u could have done better...especially for gp since i screwed up my essay (just when i got my highest ever for compre) haiz...

And oh the marker called me sharon.

i kinda know where my standards are act and for what sub i can go all the way for As...maths would be one of them...the O came from not studying complex vectors, stats and trig funcs...bio too prob...econs and chem pose more of a prob...since those were the topics i put more emphasis on and still came up short.

went down to serenes house on saturday with bulky vcd player in tow to watch the harmoc concert with the harmoc members...only to find that she had a vcd player aLrEaDy lol...so we spent the next half an hour cycling to ecp and then to parkway to meet the vjc harmoc..i expected less ppl to come really haha...then i ran away at 3 b4 they had a chance to watch my segment in front of me tee hee...but reeally it was so horrible haha thank god for RE: Apocalypse...

wat to do?

At first i was planning to go backpacking with my classmates in maybe australia or somewhere...but i just found out that my mum is going on a pilgrimage to israel....the both of us going on holidays will just break the bank. which leaves me in a quandary...hmmm i really want to go out of the country for a while...its been 2 years since i last went overseas....and it would have been the first time i ventured out of malaysia...except that at this pt its most prob a no go haiz...

so that means i 'm just gonna have to stay home and camp in front of the com until my ass hurts or my eyes pop and play ffxi or world of warcraft...

the other option would be to hit the gym and try to gain some muscle mass b4 ns starts...or prob pick up a instrument

actually not going on a trip frees me up both financially and time-lly...so i guess there has to be a good side to it...still...

Uguu~




Monday, September 20, 2004

I slapped my sister hard like what 12 times today.

And u noe what? It felt really good.

Hey if shes intent on making my life miserable i have every right to make it hell for her...

Maybe the morality will come later...

Saturday, September 18, 2004

yay! prelims are over!

went out to celebrate by watching azumanga daioh...chiyo-chan is so cute...and i swear her braids have a life of their own...Osaka kinda represents me in a way...when there is something that doesn't interest her her mind starts wondering in alien territory...and she starts following the floating things in her eyes...her condition is more ...serious, however. lol

then went to suntec to view the food fest....pretty derivative stuff. Shark's fins, laksa, mackerel otah..duck rolls...if they are so popular year after year why don't ppl just set up a shop selling them regularly? Like sharks fins... Haha i liked one of the new pdts that was showcased...a scallop floss which came in at $5 dollars a bottle...i bought two :)

hmmm....while it might have seemed that wrote off the prelims completely...that doesn't mean that i haven't been awakened by the revelations that it brought. Which is that if i take the A's tmr....i'm gonna get culled faster than u can say bird flu. Just how did i score 7 a1s for my O's? In typical oh its not my fault fashion....i could just have put it down to study fatigue after the O's...maybe the pressure affected me so greatly that the thought of studying just put me off completely. Or maybe all my brain cells have been hard-wired with all that information that i can't accept new ones. But that would been just skirting responsibility on my part for the predicament i'm in. Cos no matter how much the teachers in vjc suck...i suck more. period. I'm lazy, irresponsible, unreasonable, complacent and arrogant...and much more

Now my only hope is to try and replicate the formula that allowed me to get what i got....looking back i wasn't exceptionally hard-working in sec4. The only notable thing i could think abt was that i managed to stay awake during lessons. And i remembered following the syllabus to a T. What i can remember is how i did it...Did i come up with essay plans? Or write out whole answers? Did i just read thru the textbook and commited every diagram every paragraph to memory? or did i just practise tys till my hands bled? bcos siriusly i can't rem what i did...and i trashed all my o-level notes in a fit of disgust after the exams....Its like this time warp thing where my sec 4 years just vanished somewhere...maybe it was the sleep deprivation that did it

I'm trying a combination of all to see which gave me good results....For chem i did tys.....For maths i did tutorials and for bio i followed the syllabus....for econs i didn't study though....die. Haha if econs really came up highest i'm gonna laugh...cos i have this nagging suspicion aliens made me smarter in sec4...its a whole lot realistic than all my other theories haha. In which case i'd like to invite them to tea to discuss commercial opportunities. Do u noe how much anxious parents spent on "nutritional" supplements and overweight(with cash) tution teachers....Think of all that money...

haha whatever it is i better do it fast...theres like wat a month before the A-levels? And haha if anything happens to me my brothers and sisters...its not your fault. LOL

~chiyo-nyo!

After the disastrous stint at the barbers...poor hapless boy then proceeded to his cell dinner which was unfortunately at marche(yay his first time!). In a lame ass attempt to cover up what was obviously a bad hair cut...poor hapless boy had no choice to spike his hair...the impact of which rippled through the local exchange stock markets and initiated a flurry of activity on what was otherwise a dull lifeless evening(haha)...aniwae marche being not what he expected it to be poor hapless boy was pleasantly surprised(and shall henceforth be known as poor haplessly pleasantly surprised boy). Unfortunately what was not surprising was the prices...which in reality far exceeded that of which he had been warned of...

For the benefit of those of us who are still living in nuclear bomb shelters, wearing bell-bottoms, listening to ABBA or anything at all that would be otherwise remotely unimaginable to any hip ipod wearing youngster(aka u are still stuck in a time where your parents were still horny)...marche has specific counters set up around the restaurant...(ie.want some grossly overpriced deserts go to the left hand corner) where u order your food, get your card scanned and then proceed to the table where u wait for your food to be prepared and go and collect it(in other words...SELF-SERVICE). Then u pay at the end of the meal.

As expected food was less than outstanding...PHB ordered teppanyaki while the rest ordered either pizza or pasta...PHB sincerely regrets his decision. On hindsight however i doubt that anything else he chose would be much better...for the price of that pasta one could go pastamania and order one of those oven baked thingies (which would taste infinitesimally better)...and as for that pizza i could make that at home(actually i do make pizza quite freq). yeah there were other better smelling things...but for under 12 dollars those 3 were the only ones that gave u a full meal. About the only thing that PHB approves of is the rosti-which could be defined as thus: Light potato strips burned to a crisp. And seeing as to how this dish actually rewards overcooking stuff i dun see how they could have messed it up lol...

Actually it wasn't that bad actually...considering all the ex places that PHB has been too..marche was the only one where it was worth paying for the ambience....and the only one where u could pretend u were on a skiing trip in the scottish/german hillside....this needs to be seen to be believed (and seen it shall be..as soon as i get a pic of it)

[konno is off chasing butterflies...ginji is off chasing girls...and banchan is currently doing talk shows on the US circuit and promoting his latest album...and expects to be back only next month.In the meantime PHB is here holding the fort...god save the queen ;) ]

I expected this to happen

barber auntie aka barbie auntie: Eh boy...ni yao jian tou fa ah?
poor hapless boy: ermm...
barbie auntie: lai...zuo sia. ni yao jian se me?
poor hapless boy: er...jian bao
barbie auntie: -_-
poor hapless boy: er cut thin...
barbie auntie: side want slope?
poor hapless boy: er ok
barbie auntie: slope want high or low
poor hapless boy: er not so high lah...also not so low
barbie auntie: -_-
poor hapless boy: eep

barbie auntie then proceeds to cut off a side lock of his precious hair to demostrate before proceeding to lop off the entire left side of poor hapless boy's precious keratin fibres. poor hapless boy cries inside his heart...

barbie auntie: back want slope or not
poor hapless boy who has learned his mistake: er yeah...but not so high lah
barbie auntie: grunt. snort.

barbie auntie proceeds to use a shaver to mow the lawn that is poor hapless boy's head...
poor hapless boy after all that sloping now has a ball for his head...uguu~

what would have resulted in a much better ending for all parties involved:

Barbie auntie: eh boy...ni yao jian tou fa hah?
Enlightened boy: Eh...bu yao lah
Barbie auntie: Siao!

Just spent 4 hours cleaning up the Maaya Sakamoto Discography that i dl from Public Morning Musume Tracker...had some mislabbeled and fake files and some weren't catgorized...its funny how i dun care about how much my desk looks but i care so much about my com looks...all my music is neatly placed in one folder called mp3s categorized according to genre...subdivided according to artists and futher split into albums and sub-albums. If i really like the artist i'll track down the cd-covers and lyrics. If i find some files online that are higher quality than the ones i have i redownload them again. same goes for my image folders and personnal folder. U noe if i really applied this to my personnal life i would be called a control freak...but strangely it doesn't work both ways. thats wierd.

Aniwae Maaya Sakamoto is one really great artist. I dunno much about music but her voice just floats and lingers in the air bringing a somewhat rustic and mysterious quality to all the songs that she sings. Paired with the amazing talents of Yoko Kanno (who composes like 90% of her songs), she achieves a gentle balance between saccharine sweetness and dark undertones. However her songs end up being inspiring and soothing without being too campy. Due to her role as a seiyuu(voice actress) she has to sing a lot of sucky theme songs though which unfortunately makes up a lot of the stuff that i downloaded sigh.

Fav songs so far...

Nappy Tale OST - Folly Fall (might not be maaya..sure sounds like her though)
Nikopachi - The Garden of Everything, Vector, Yubiwa
Hotch Potch - Tomodachi, Call Your Name, Yakusoku wa Iranai, Hikari no Naka E

I still have like about 3 albums left to listen...

a good place to start listening to her stuff would be http://www.rose-tainted.net/hitomim/hear.html
theres some yoko kanno solo stuff in there too but its all goodness :)

sick

haiz not a good way to start the september holidays...although i did stay over at jermee's house with tk to watch him play sp and gta III...which rocks btw! U get to hijack vehicles and r8un over civilians and do jobs for a crime lord that range from ferrying prostitutes and umm..thats about all i saw of the missions actually. the rest of the time was spent hijacking cars =P

aniwae i'm just finished finished up my celebrations for the holidays...u noe the prerequisite bum arnd and do nothing for 2 whole days stuff...and all the while feeling as if i'm going to puke...at least it seems to be passing...

Hair - its seems like my long hair has to go. At first i had this idea that i could grow it really long and leave it that way until cosplay season starts...then it would be easier to style to fit more chars..and in fact it works quite well. I can do quite a good midou ban..the spikes aren't as thick and they don't reach out as long and its not really symmetrical...but hey at least it manages to stick out in all directions =P The irritating thing is that its already grown past my eye...and no matter how i try to prevent it this strand just slides in between my specs and starts poking my eye...so between losing my vision and keeping long hair...i choose keeping long hair! At least for a few days more...then snip snip.

Specs - oh and parkway had this crazy sale so i made new specs for 70...its bit squarish in shape with ends that taper off and a wider top than the bottom and its made up of plastic ends with wide sides so that it doesn't bend too much when u wear it...hopefull it will arrive before the exams start. Was contemplating getting contacts but since i still have some eye problems(a pimple in my eyelid that keeps returning even after i keep squeezing it) and the fact that i'm still scared of contacts getting lost behind the eyes...i think i'll wait for a while.

SDD - And about sdd..i stil dunno whther i shld go or not. I told jaime at first that i would prefer sitting with my class..then i told my class that i had no money so i backed out..and now my church group wants me to join them. Only this time it appears that i can get a cheaper ticket from tk... but now i no longer feel like going. i admit that i felt like going at first but now i feel bleah. With all prob the ppl that i feel like going with will not be going...so why go? Oh yeah and serene sorry that i pang sae u guys...but heres wat i told jaime...if u girls want to be together so much and can't find enuff ppl to want to sit with together for SDD...u all shld just rent a room or something in a hotel...it would be much cheaper and much better i assure you...bring your own entertainment. I feel like telling that to my cell grp ppl too...they dun want to sit with their classes but instead they will end up sitting with A54 i think just to fill up places at their table...even then they are short of one person...

ARggh i can't think straight theres this veil of fogginess thats lowering my iq every minute my writing is so bleah...think i'll end here.

the brilliant green - maybe we could go back to them

Joie- Go for SDD lah...U get to make new frens... maybe meet the girl of your dreams...plus somemore got david and sam there so fun...Plus its a once in a lifetime thing u noe

Wat i said- Sorry i dun want to go...and wah lau u and david gang up on me sia...go and find another replacement bah...

Wat i said- The last time i went for a once in a lifetime thing i fell asleep and i already found the gurl of my dreams sorry got no incentive to go.

Joie- Maybe can ask laura to go...then u got incentive to go rite? Afterall shes the gurl of your dreams rite? and all your class boys going thats enuff incentive rite?

Wat i said- Wah lau u very backdated liao...the girl of my dreams not going i go for wat..yeah my class guys going but i dun feel comfortable with them i go for wat..same goes for your cell table.

Joie- Ok oh well i wish u gd luck with the gurl of your dreams den...cya.

Wat i shld have said in addition (child warning): Fuck. Is that all u think i am? Go for an event just to see girls in bare back...face the stone wall built by the (former) gurl of my dreams and make superficial frens who would rather spent time masturbating in front of the computer than make frens with u? How abt paying 90 dollars to sit with a group of people whose sole purpose in life is to convert u and all your immediate relatives bar none? Do u really think that i'm that shallow u piece of shit? hey i'm ok if thats wat u think of me bcos quite frankly thats the side i always project...but damm it i hope u're smart enuff to noe that nots wat i really am. i really thot that u would noe me better since we got along so well in pa crew...and since u dun let me tell u wat i want. I want to spend time with ppl that really noe me...that i really get along with and that i really care about...and i really hoped that u were one of them. i dun want to spend time with ppl i hardly noe...applauding beautiful egoistic ppl who already noe that and watch stupid idiots pandering to an ever so enthusiastic audience by dressing up in attention grabbing costumes or clothes that barrely hang by a thread...and listening to stupid ppl making stupid and trivial conversation...so u noe wat just fuck off. -banchan

(konno-eep.we tried to stop him.really.)
(ginji-at least we managed to stop him from sending that msg...its much better than that time with jaime...)
(konno-but wats so bad about SDD i think it'll be interesting wat...)
(banchan -_-)
(konno-uguu~)

banchan-just bcos of konno i'm gonna add some more...hey its not my fault that u decided to go overseas and decide to abandon your frens who are paying extra on your behalf just to able to go to SDD...its not my fault that u didn't think it worthwhile to go for it so certainly do not ask me to go for it. Nor try to use tactics such as these...quite frankly u have used it far too many times. Did u really think that i would join cell group just bcos lydia is chio? Di u really think that i joined the cell group bcos i would be able to make many female frens? Did u think that by making David babysit me i would feel more able to intergrated into cell? Bcos u noe wat it ain't working. so many times i thot that u were someone i could confide in only to realise that i was nothing more than a passing figure that u could care less about...try harder haha.

Or u noe wat? don't bother trying at all. i had enuff of your crap.

teachers day

like a bloody fool i decided to wake up on tuesday at school time to troop down to vjc to witness their teacher's day celebration.

and i wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Why? 3 Words. Craziest shit ever.

Since i have the utmost faith in tk and jr in procuring a video copy...i shalln't spoilt it for anyone here. Suffice to say u have to see it to believe it. Almost everyone, teaching staff, non-teaching staff had a role to play....except for the pa technicians of course, who were helping out with the techincal stuff....and Monica Wong. Who was working backstage in her maternity dress. Why does she always look as if shes pmsing even on teachers day?

Ahhh i feel like telling u all about it....ok i'll just put up a word list aka J.K Rowling. I can't gurantee it be a hundred words though...

Cabbage Patch...beer.... photo album...Grease...mrs lim...morgan...miss rajan...tree...father...mother...transvestite(sp?)....french boyfrend...pe teachers...disco...3 elvis...john lennon...hippie...james cook....smoking pot...riots....smiley face...paris...harmonica...gay french guy...breakup...moulin rouge...miss ting...unemployment...full monty...mr harris...dominatrix...motorcycle...rock stars...bdr(boy-dog relationship?)...spice girls...principal...saturday night fever....purple jumpsuit...thats all i can think abt now.

Most sporting award: One of the tamil teachers.

Most chio award: Miss Christine Choo GP

Most-she-looks-better-here-than-she-looks-in-class award: Mrs Lim Siew Mee Bio

Most-I-wished-i-didn't-have-to-see-that-award: Mr Chok dancing

Most-i can't-which-is-who-award: Mr Steve Ixer, Mr Jeffrey Harris, Mr John Sayers, Mr Jack Cook(they are all white...with white hair)

Most smart award: Mr Sayers? who on finding that the couch he was supposed to sit on was out of the spotlight...adlibbed and moved the couch forward without any help from the etch crew.

Most-no-thanks-to-you award: Ct council. who missed entire departments in their dedication speech after the performance. very lame after what the teachers came up with.
.
.

.
.
After that i went to Dunman High with risu-chan to visit our teachers...a pity poor ame couldn't go. First thing Mrs Shu said on seeing me? Stand up straight. Chest out. Spread out your legs more. JC already still like that...haha i was hiding behind tk see. And she thot that i was still as timid as ever. hunched back and all that stuff. Miss tays baby is so fat and cute...but i dunno whther its male or female. And no class has gotten miss tanya chuas marche treat yet...although last years batch missed it by 0.1 grade average(haha suckers). And mr Ng thot Benjamin was Teng Soong. after that met yuki to pick up cpu fan...blah blah. Good thing is it works. And i can play games already now. Oh shit my prelims gonna suffer now. The thing vibrates like a umm...vibrator(? is there such a thing) though...its rocking my motherboard like siao...hope it doesn't kill my hd. And then i went home to play 3 hours of Survival Project =P.

Ah yes...I'm a very happy bugger now :) - ginji-kun

In the last 24 hours have u...

55. cried - like a sissy

thats all folks~!

bio prac

haha had a tough time todae...First qns was a food test, first sign that it was going wrong was when i had to remake the four solutions in the two test-tubes. twice since i kept messing up...afte that things started going downhill...with only 5 mins left b4 the handover i quickly put performed the benedicts test when the water was boiling yet (since it took such a damm long time to boil), and took it out just b4 the changeover since i thot we had to change places...but of course we hadn't so ended up with 2 similarly colored tubes. didn't feel like doing the damm thing again so just left it there.

2nd qns was abt plasmolysis...u had to stain the onion epidermis and then placed it in diff sucrose solutions to let the water out...then looked at it under the microscope...for some reason when i looked under the microscope i couldn't see anything. Just cell walls...so i faked all the results. bai bai 2nd qns ~ haha to make things worse i started sweating so much that the lab teacher especially turned on the fan for me...inbetween staring incredulously at my answers...

3rd qns was slightly better...just missed out stuff like magnification and crap..haha but it isn't enuff to make up for the onion debacle ...

And being the masochist that i am i came home and decided to learn cascading style sheets ...

cuddle and a kiss
cuddle and a kiss on the forehead - you like to be
close to your special someone and feel warm,
comfortable, and needed


What Sign of Affection Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

haha this is really accurate...prob becos i chose the cuddle up to someone option under what u would want to do if u had a gf...theres nothing else i would want to do really...curl up to her and purr softly like a kitten haha

Uguu~



i only reserve that expression for times when i'm really tired or sianz...and yes i noe i'm ripping images left right and centre none of the graphics over here are my own...haha i don't even bother to host them i'm such a bad person...

I opened up my com three times in 2 days to fix a spoilt cpu fan that wasn't spinning...and i failed. Haiz...haha i guess i really have to go down to sim lim to get a real cpu fan(and from what i hear they bundle with a heatsink only...) hope they don't cost me a bomb. Its works alright without the fan though...i just cannot play games...

On friday arranged to meet risu-chan and yuki at comex at 2.00...risu overshot shaw tower ended up at harbourfront and took an hour to get back...and he was already late by half and hour. Yuki wasn't much better...late by 1 hour. If it pays to be punctual...i'm not seeing it haha...bcos i stood in front of the shaw movie counter for45 mins looking at movie previews...without sound. My eyes hurt after that. Btw Resident Evil 2 is looking pretty sweet...

Went down to comex on friday with yuki and risu-chan to try and find a cpu fan and also see what they have there...apparently more of the same stuff. Mp3 players, laptops, digital cameras, projectors, printer refillers, lcd screens and xbox games. Notably absent were things like crt monitors and scanners. ( u noe stuff that work perfectly fine but somehow gets abandoned)

I guess thats what i hate about that don't whats its name theory of efficiency(a sure sign that i shld start studying econs but ummm...nvm.), the one that states they u shld go into the industries that are emerging and get out of industries that are in decline. It reeks of...well i hate to use this word becos its very generic and can apply to many things (and has been applied to many things) and doesn't really mean anything at all...but i can't really think of words to use so WTH...consumerism and fadism and popularism(?). I'm a little confused myself...but if u think abt it a good example would be bubble tea...yeah its an expanding industry adn there was expanding demand for it...but to see everybody chasing it like a pretty young thing is just hilarious to me...in fact my father wanted to sell bubble tea at his drink stall. He likes to think hes entrepeunerial but really hes just a copycat...and worse a really late one...by then shops were popping up and closing everynight. So i can't really claim credit for stopping him from selling it..but i digress.

to me its no different from pop music...it changes based on whos "in" and whos "cool" and i hate that...which is why i turned off the radio when they started to blare out clubbing music...haha my mind is a mess...i don't think i even noe what i'm writing so i'm going to stop this train of thought here.(except for one more point...bubbletea sucks)

Aniwae the whole expo was quite boring to me....yeah expanding industries are innovative and initially they are exciting...but to see generic versions popping up just becos these things are making money is just so stupid...i dunno man aniwae they had two levels xbox games on one level and the others on the second level...(there could be some other things on the xbox level...but i wasn't paying attn =P) The only memorable game i played was hunter the reckoning, which was a mindless hack and slash co-op. I dunno why but for an above average intelligence person like me why do i like to do repetitive stuff? but i digress (AGAIN) ...

top level were all the hardhitters....dell and canon and blah blah...we skipped all the major stuff and went to the back...where there was an argubably larger crowd there...Thats where all the odds and ends go....software, magazines, accessories. modding equipment some game design college cd repair kits and stuff like that...these don't really change year to year but i'm glad they exist haha...couldn't find what i was looking for unfortunately...

went back relatively early and came back the next day...which would be today (yay! i can still count...i was sure my intelligence had dropped lots of notches after mugging stats for 5 days) hoping to get a head start on the xbox booths...and i forgot that today was saturday. public holiday u noe...crowds were a killer. I did managed to play the hunter game again with this nice malay boy who gave me pointers and insturctions. Btw whats it with malay boys? when they are young they are like so nice and friendly (i had a malay best fren when i was at pasir ris...played badminton rollerblading and catching with him)..but when they grow up all they want to do is stare and you and do mud(sp?) stuff. Like the malay boys near my block. Aniwae i went back to visit the booths that i missed the prev day. Bcos even though i hate all the stuff they were selling...i am a completionist.

So that was my (2) days. If theres something that needs to be mentioned and by god seeing as to how i managed to mention everything else here...Apple has one sweet looking booth. 31 inch widescreen displays, the ipod and ipod mini, u noe what even the operating system deserves mention. Say what u want about the ipod and ipod mini (and some day i will say everything abt it bcos i just love it)...it looks gimmicky and trendy and looks like it was designed to be with the popular crowd...but damm it feels like gold in your hands(not heavy). And i'm willing to forgive it for that. In fact i'm willing to forgive everything that mac makes, and even buy them...if only it didn't have a monopoly over the software and the hardware which makes everything so damm ex, just becos it all looks sw00t.[ Even microsoft only has monopoly over software (windows). ]

Loneliness is sadness...
You are a loner...not that you don't like people,
it's just that you like to spend time with
yourself or you are an outsider...don't like
talking too much and even going
out...loneliness isn't healthy, but you like
it...what can say?! Just live the way you
want...u_u

sure. And you're quite distant. In your
opinion people are worthless. You're kind and
gentle inside. But because of your defenses
and tragic home-life that you don't tell
anybody, most people don't see it. You're dark
sometimes and you're very creative. You're a
natural born writer. Try to tell somebody
about your inner pain - it's eating away at

woe

Fact 1: When i am at home...i'll download something irregardless of the hard disk space i have or the number of blank cds i have.

Fact 2: I've ran out of blank cds.

Fact 3: U noe those little flimsy paper notes that u use to buy blank cds with? I ran out of those too.

What does this mean?

It means that starting from 11:00am tmr....i'm going to lock myself up in the marine parade library to prevent myself from killing my hard drive

Woe.

to prepare myself i went down to stake out the prospective site....its quite comfortable...a little chilly at night but nothing that my favourite pull-over can't handle... It starts getting a bit warm and drowsy towards the afternoon time too but i guess that happens everywhere so i'll just take a nap when that time comes...as a side note i found out that studying can help me to pass the time quite easily too...so i guess thats one thing i can do if i get sick of reading all the comics or spying on sec school kids.

If i calculate correctly...that still leaves me with 3 hours during which i'll still download stuff and surf the net and upadte my blog..so any donations of cds or money will be oh so helpful. Not tk or xq though...i still owe u guys 12 and 18 bucks respectively.

If u wish to find me at my new humble abode to either donate cds or laugh at me...i'll be at the children's section near the back where all the st pats guys and kc girls like to make out...

To: xueqi

haha i'm posting here becos i don't want to overwhelm your tagboard...

to practise my gp...i'll proceed to rebut your points convincingly...put forth my own arguments, compare and contrast my views and yours and then put forth a concluding statement.

heh i hope i get a1 for this.

My dear neko-chan...you are not one of the 22 percent of the singapore population that has never been attached before in your life... simply becos your only 18! The people they interviewed were liek 40 to 50 something!. Come back to me like 30 years down the road and maybe i'll agree with you...but not now...

since i have already rebutted your points (which were all based on that one flismy argument)...lets move on to my iew of the situation....no lah just kidding

short stature: kawaii wat (new nickname for u...chibi-ko chan!)

boyish nature: hmm..that's a valid point...not! i don't noe where u got that idea from...i tink that your so used to thinking that your boyish for so long that u started believing it for..u want
boyish...heres boyish

looks: no comment (but u asked ppl not to comment wat)...just keep in mind that looks are dependant on the person's opinion of you...didn't u read the recent straits time article?

i won't comment about the rest...becos honestly i dun noe u that well to comment...u may hav obsessive complusive disorder or schizophrenia for all i noe...but if i don't see it i doubt others will...

"never had a guy like me before"- no...u just never had a guy who liked u tell u that he liked u before.

okay lets move on to why i think your single...assuming that u don't like singlehood(note to self...will have tendency to digress into why singlehood is not not bad...must remain focus on qns)
u are too focused on the fact that u're single...ignore that fact for a while and you will notice that u have more guy frens than some girls would have in a lifetime...yet your so focused on the romatic side of your relationships with boys that u fail to realise that any one of your platonic relationships can develop into something more...maybe one of you grows more attractive to the other person, maybe one of you decides to try taking the relationship to the next step...do note that these things take time...if your looking for the love at first side option forget it...its all one commercialised boatload of crap...theres no one right guy for you...there are lots of guys that will suit you well...you need time not to find them, but to let them come to you...

the reason why i'm spending 1 hour of my time on the eve of an exam to write this is becos i was in the same boat as you...and i don't mind blogging about it just not now...and its stupid u noe...getting depressed over something that is imaginary...letting it affect your self conidence, your morale...make it qns your existence(i dunno whether u got do that or not haha i idid thats how bad it got)...and i dun want u to remain in it for any longer than its necessary...i dun want to see u get sad and depressed whenever anyone u like doesn't like u becos u just shrug it off and wait for the next person to come...

And now for my concluding statement-if i get below a1 for my gp...i noe who to blame(just kidding lah...i haven't been studying gp the whole day)

heres my blog entry before xq came and derailed my plans...

Someone asked me why i wasn't studying for gp..."wah u so confident rite"

No i'am not. Its just that i think studying for gp is crap.

I think its better for gp to identify what your strengths and weaknesses are(quite frankly you hav to do that for every subject, but for gp its more essential) I'm a person who likes to noe wat his weaknesses and strengths are...and while my english is my better subject...i have as much chance of getting a1 as i do for my other subjects (0)...and comeon we are all aiming for a1 rite?

Why is that so?

My essay scores high marks in gp sometimes...but looking carefully at it its far too inconsistent to gurantee me a high score...and one thing the teachers have missed is that i tend not to give concrete examples.While i do read widely and stay on top of things...it also means that i can only gather a large amount of generalised knowledge as opposed to what a person spotting communications and media might be able to do...it also means that in an exam...i have a wide choice of qns to do becos it appears i may be able to do all of them...yet in reality i may be well versed in one subject but not the one i chose. In all the school tests...the comments have noted that i lack detail (sometimes even getting facts outright wrong), lack balance and sometimes lack content, all becos i do not have concrete examples to back me up...hence i always go for qns that require more thinking and less rote regurgitation...which makes mugging content for gp even more harder.

but its the comprehension component that pulls me down even more...while the bulk of marks is awarded to replacing words with your own...i have trouble identifying even the ideas that need to be replaced and i have a tendency to simply rewrite statements with wanton regard for key words and instead forgoing that for a preference for smooth flowing sentences and grammar. this may seem easy to remedy but to strike a balance between content and language in comprehension is not easy for me...i used to have trouble in application and summary but that has been partially overcome, at least to a level of which i am satisfied of.

so why shld i mug? i would rather put my time elsewhere...liek understanding maths concepts or something...rather than mugging vocab or kaleidoscope...since my weakness lies not in my concept or ideas but in my execution..unlike my other subjects...and i hate mugging examples

my prediction for gp? B3 and quite frankly i'll be happy with that...despite what i said about aiming for a1...becos theres a dif between what your aiming for and wat your expect....and i'm always happy with what i expect...does that make sense?
