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?

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...

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.

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.
