Snow To Fall

sighhhhhh

2011-06-21T21:46:00.002+08:00

Its been a while since i thought about this space...

Ever since entering the army, its been 4 months of training as INFANTRY and right now, im still training as an INFANTRY sergeant =.=

Its not like infantry is bad or anything... but after 4 months of fire movement and rushing hills, I thought I will finally be posted to somewhere more fun (think engineers or Arty) since after all, rumors are that most infantry spec are PRs and furthermore, my company was not the hosting company, thus, chances are low.

Not really as seen right now.

sooo sighhhhhhhh.

Still, life is kinda bearable in army actually because of the little things we get like LAPTOP WITH INTERNET and GOOD FRIENDS!

I guess I should be like using my little bits of free time productively, but as usual, self motivation doesnt last for me, doing things for other people with other people is always more interesting and fulfiling.

Maybe I will try to update this little space once in a while, but since we arent supposed to publish any army related stuff, its best for me not to talk army at all and stay out of trouble for these 2 years.

On a random note, I had a wild dream of a fantastic MMORPG game involving the creation of spells. How cool would it be for players to create their own unique combination of spells!!! It will totally be a different ball game altogether in PvP when facing people that you dun noe how to counter! A player can start off by choosing a class to play, a mage, warrior, etc. and then a standard spellbook is issued at the start to get players started in the game. As the game progresses, players will be able to form their own spells through a magic circle creation process. Each magic circle can hold up to a certain number of runes that will influence the properties of the spell and then a final mana cost is calculated from the runes used. Each player will probably be allowed like 3 created spells each to use? That will effectively break the cast of classic typing and roles of each class, enabling each player to determine their own niches and adding more variety to the game!

awesome~ End of random rambling hahahaha

Man im so full of crazy ideas that are so impossible to implement.

I always thought frontline jobs werent for me

2011-01-17T00:06:00.002+08:00

btw, new lesson learned: dun try anything new without guidance. You will phail badly.

seeing i suck at image editing, im screwing it and not editing the blogskin anymore. maybe im just lazy. whatever.

Was damn bored at home in the hols, so when yiwen suggested going work, i jumped immediately. Got a job at Gain City expo sales, 3 days, 5.50 per hr. Secured my place at yiwen's house to stay over so i dun have such a huge bus fare every day.

Work was mostly queue management and a variety of odd jobs. I guess it was kinda a really nice exposure since it was quite slack without a supervisor breathing down our necks 24/7, so we could actually like swap jobs. So in 3 days, i managed queues, packed goodie bags, moved stuff, packed at the cashier, became a security guard and of course, slacked a bit. wahahaha life is good with such variety.

I always thought a frontline job like queue management or cashier wouldnt suit me at all since i rather prefer not to talk to strangers if needed, but after this, i realise... WORKING IS ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

seriously, after being a security guard, i realise that in the future, my job will be permanent and i will be doing it everyday without a change.SECURITY IS DAMN BORING DUN DO IT PLS. basically i was assigned to this entrance and people are supposed to enter, not exit cos the cashier is on the other side. So i have to stop people from exiting with unpaid goods. But occurrence was so rare that i nearly fell asleep from it -.- plus my legs died after 3 hours of no motion...

Other jobs actually involved talking with people like being the the QnA guy at the entrace directing people to the correct queues. (people actually thought need to queue to get in -.-) It was much more refreshing (hard on the throat though) and much less boring. Packing of bags was also really fun when u have a bunch of people all joking together while packing 1000 bags a day.

Moving on, SINGAPOREANS ARE DAMN KIASU. but im damn tired to describe, but all the queue cutting, complaining about the limit, queueing and requeuing to get a cheapo item basically sums it up. The best example was when the queue formed for the chinese afternoon paper. The bloody queue formed at 3pm because there was a scratchcard that came with each paper purchased. So there were aunties who came early all 3 days to buy 10 papers each time. The main one that was stuck in my head was when i moved down the queue to check on the people queuing because some people mistaken the queue for some other thing and is queuing for the wrong thing. When i saw a malay family, i moved in, thinking that they were in the wrong queue, because malays dun read chinese papers right? But when I asked them to leave, they replied, "Got lucky draw right? Got then i queue for it." Total fail image of singaporeans =.='''

Oh well at the end the pay will be given (hopefully) and i move on to my next job, a more rigorous and demanding job. Hope it will be fine with fun peeps to work with!

phew

2011-01-10T01:04:00.000+08:00

okay rushed out blogskin for the heck of it.

Been a year since updating since blogging is such a chore and i dun really have anything to say cept RAWR.

Okay feeling shitty, damn sian, should reedit the art and script after i get another chance/feeling of enthuness to do it.

RIGHT NOW JUST WANNA DO SOMETHING ELSE AKA TELL PPL ABT IT WAHHAHAA

Warcraft to SSEF to consent forms

2010-03-13T22:27:00.004+08:00

Life epicly fails at the closing of Term 1.

Play has been a larger part of my life now since i started playing WoW with my friends. What a great decision to make in my A level year.

SSEF was a complete waste of time. Went there, waited for 7+ hours to present 4 times, each about 15 minutes long. Had to go back the next day just for results. As usual, a COP -.-

Jap Club camp was ... a looming sign of what was to come for the rest of the year.

When you have a teacher in charge who closes the camp at 830pm because not enough ppl brought consent forms, you know your future is screwed together with the camp.

Nuff said, I hate thinking about it now.

Service

2010-01-30T22:59:00.002+08:00

Are service workers hired for their service towards us, or to be a meatshield between the manager and angry customers?

embarrass yourself in front of everyone

2010-01-24T01:12:00.002+08:00

I cant believe im going for chingay...
z
zzz
z
z
zz

Today was like, the 3rd training of chingay, and like less than expected people turned up cos : 1. SATS 2.Pon 3. Flu

Chingay dance this year is so damn easy, its easier than the batch dance. I thought they would add more stuff in today seeing its the 3rd session and most of us like mastered the dance completely, even going on to master the other dances of the other groups.

And one of the dances for the other group involves them acting cute.

And over half of them are over 40 yrs old. -.- What a sight...

okay new skin

2010-01-05T01:01:00.002+08:00

Came back one day, felt the urge, did it.

Okay, its a rush job cos its like wat, 1am now? Im damn sleepy and screw coding, it hurts my eyes.

Not an original skin, ya i know, but cant do much on photoshop now.

Minor edits to the coding, dint like the original one that just let ur content spill all over into white space. Ugly :S Kept everything within a box instead.

Cleaned up links. Left 4 active ones -.-''' Blogging really is a trend, it comes and goes...

Okay, all settled, screw the rest, i wan sleep.

AVATAR

2010-01-03T21:09:00.002+08:00

The 3 gazillion dollars movie that sold out so much that i was forced to book it early even in the second week of showing was....

so-so lah :S

Plot-wise, its one of those sci-fiction story of where they can transfer a human conscious into an alien body. So human starts a new life as alien, learning about the aliens and falling in love along the way. So when the humans decide to invade and bomb the planet, he/she/it rebels and somehow manages to win steel bomber ships when the aliens are still using bows and arrows.

Its a very nice story, but a bit too predictable and cliched. Everything was just too smooth flowing, no twists, no shocks. I guess they didnt need it when they had 3 gazillion dollars to do up the scenery.

Visuals wise, it was great seeing both the wonderful greenery of the planet and the futuristic weapons of destruction. Can see where those money went into. The world is highly detailed, with unique flora and creatures, plants that light up when u step on them, giant mimosa like flowers, creatures that interact with feeler like things.

I watched it in 3D, though it didnt feel much 3D. The director did not make full use of the 3D effects like lobbing stuff at the audience or having monsters snap at us. I guess his budget was a bit constrained xD

Overall, i would still say watch the movie, its totally great with all that details, the wonderful world and the beautiful plot that unravels slowly. The pace was very slow but i think it was worth it to spend time developing the characters and giving us all that eye candy.

Xmas

2009-12-25T21:13:00.002+08:00

Christmas comes and goes...

Nothing particularly special for me, since i dun really celebrate it much.

Still, the festive mood grants me more freedom with the Wii console and the computer, so im not complaining :D

Just got Band Hero on Wii even though the Wii isnt mine. LOL
Had fun the whole xmas eve spamming it. ( im nt very good though)

This year's Xmas was spent more on a spamfest of computer gaming with my brother and cousin, playing through the entire campaigns of Serious Sam 1 & 2.

My eyes hurt >.<

Oh how i wish i could spend my xmas somewhere with snow :D That would be soooooo coooooool! That would be like a real Xmas! haha maybe after A levels next year rawr!

5 more days to Countdown! And so much to do still! Xmas = Holiday = Cant do work = one less day to do work :(

Oh well, who would complain? :)

Y DECEMBER PASS SO FAST

2009-12-18T23:09:00.002+08:00

:(

Why is december the fastest month?

Why do we get less sunlight during December?

With only 2 weeks left of December, holidays come horribly close to ending and A levels horribly near.

Year 2 for JC will be very important i guess. After all, its the year where we all choing and mug and decide where to go.

No more playing :(

Which makes the time now even more important.

The last few weeks of joy without any burden.

Haiz.

Back to the present.

It is always hard to organise an outing to somewhere fun. Its either been overdone or just not appealing to everyone. Not everyone wants to go Sentosa and everyone is tired of going to the movies and bowling. Sometimes, we wonder what do we spend our lives on if Life was just a few boring activites outside. Even surfing the Internet has more interesting stuff than going out together. Does this mean that lifeless geeks has a more interesting life than people going out everyday?

But still people do want to go out, even if its lame movies or boring bowling or anything that has been overdone. Its the companionship that counts isnt it?

But what if people choose not to go? Absurd behaviour, but there may be reasons...

14 minutes of the day

2009-12-10T13:36:00.002+08:00

Ever since i got sucked into the world of Mousehunting, ghost trapping and fishing, I have developed a habit, like all the others on the Mousehunt forums, to split life into 14 minutes. Do only what you can do in 14 minutes to be back on time to sound the damn horn.

haha. So this post has like 14 minutes of my time :)

It actually pretty much organised my life, although to say that it has improved would be too big a statement. By having 14 minute timeslots, you push yourself to complete things that you never thought you would complete within that timeframe.

Things I have done within 14 minutes while waiting for the horn:

* Write a blog post.
* Read the papers.
* Watch some videos on YouTube.
* Go buy something downstairs.
* Do the laundry.
* Finish a GP Essay (did it once, but it was crap)
* Read 2 chapters of a book
* Organise my computer files.
* Renamed my entire Music library
* Took a nice long shower
* Stared at the screen (seriously)
* Read blogposts.
* Counted my money 0.o
* Ironed my sch uniform for the week.

and so on.

When Life gives you 14 minutes away from the computer, you use it well :)

New Com!

2009-12-10T13:13:00.003+08:00

Finally, a computer that can run word doc, firefox and music player without lagging!

LOL

Coma

2009-12-05T21:58:00.003+08:00

Oh dear.

I kinda forgot I HAD A BLOG!

The hectic days of study, the geek periods of staring at facebook, the long days where i thought i had nothing to do on the net...

I should have realised. Maybe a blog is too hard to keep, a bit too long, a bit too much insight (yes my brain is rusty and stays rusty during the hols), a bit too much time. But still, there are many joys derived from typing a blogpost and reading someone else's blogpost that I havnt forgotten.

Im back. Without a vengence. Im putting my blog on critical life support status for now, i wonder when i can make time to type more and more stuff. For now, I have the luxury of time, having done all my work, household chores and played all my games.

My skin reminds me of the time back then, in Sec 4 (actually thats last year only, not back then -.-) when life was a simple matter of eat shit study watch anime sleep.
Jump around, talk cock, no SAT, no A lvls, no future to think of, basically a little kid's life.

Anime is still damn nice to watch, i think it beats channel 5 long running series like heroes or lost, simply because they are short. Short and sweet. Dont you hate it when you miss one episode of a channel 5 show? Ya i do. It takes too much time and effort to follow on the fuzzy complicated plotlines.

Oh please.

I prefer the simple storyline that anime usually offers, a straight line with maybe a few twists in between, peppered with nice tidbits that enhance the characters. I like to keep my entertainment slightly brainless. Its more relaxing that way.

Okay back to the main point. Where was I? (wait ar i scroll up to check)

Oh ya, talking about my blog skin and stuff. Another part of the blog i noticed was my tagboard. Ahhhh. Im surprised people still visit, considering i have been in coma for like 1 month. At least i know i have some readership :) hahaha I hope i dun disappoint them :S

I laughed at myself when i saw the last part of my blog. It was the song lyrics that i put up cos i really liked it haha.

Dont say Lazy.

And i have been doing the exact opposite >.< How bad of me :+

Okay, giant long piece about my blog -.- Enough already, time to move on to...

Life.

The holidays. 2 weeks already. 1 chalet over, 2 more to go. Thats probably the only other 2 highlights of my holiday.

Oh wait, there still Countdown~ haha being part of the organising team does have its benefits. Makes me feel busy, makes me feel alive, makes me think im using my holidays well. Even if sending emails everyday isnt exactly what people call fun, being part of the big overall project gives me my joy. No matter what, I want to do it, I will love doing it :)

Except on the day itself, i think im assigned to Ops room, so im gonna miss out on stuff outside :(

Oh well, holidays are gonna be something that i truly enjoy this year!

Why?

2009-10-09T00:18:00.002+08:00

After promos, you lose all motivation to do anything. Be it mug or fun.

Why?

Seems like pressure produces motivation.

Sigh.

Drill PW

2009-09-25T01:36:00.003+08:00

Touch the untouchable
Break the unbreakable
Be the drill that pierce the heavens!

Okay too much gurren lagann.
Awesome anime ^_^ too epic already. Makes gundam looks like some shit.

Final shit of PW finally finishing. Left stupid OP which isnt as tough as ramming final report.

Haiz, then life approaches the climax where everyone takes the promos and see whether you will be lucky enough to go for orientation all over again.

Oh well, life must suck at a certain point right?

Time for some random paragraph siaaaa

The pitter patter of the rain caused the dog to look up. It was a greyish day, dark clouds crowded the sky, the wind gently sweeping the leaves. The dog sniffed around, its weary eyes searching. This was its final duty. Its master stood patiently with the lease in hand, his fingers tapping away inside his dusty black cloak. A thunder crash - and light illuminated the sky as the incoming storm signaled its arrival. The dog's nose perked up as it picked up a scent. The right scent. It set off immediately, trudging towards its final destination. The master followed silently as the lonely pair floated down the empty street.

Let it out~

2009-09-10T00:03:00.001+08:00

1 Month

2009-08-30T20:34:00.002+08:00

its...

1 MORE MONTH TO PROMOS!

By this time, even the most playful / heck care people would have come to realize that the something in 1 month's time determines their life next year.

Its time to start dusting that dust off your notes and start reading.

Life comes one full round. After all that mess and worrying, it seems that I ended up where I am at the start, back at where i decided what i wanted one month ago.

Staring back at the same stretch of road, i wonder why did i choose that in the first place, knowing that the other path would definitely end up elsewhere, while the unknown path lay dark and hidden.

Maybe it was because I was bored. Or maybe because I wanted that. Or it was just fate. But in the end, what is done is done. The wrong cannot be righted, what's gone cannot be changed. Lets start on the road well travelled, and head down that usual path.

But no one is ever happy with an alternative, the heart lies cold on the floor, devoid of all aspirations. Disappointment serves only to bring more disappointment, and as I trudge down the bright road, my determination flickers and my energy dissipated. For all I can see is my own shadow, following in my footsteps wherever i go.

Whatever.

Koizora

2009-08-13T00:44:00.002+08:00

Ack dying ever since blogging became something that i had to rack my brains for...

Im not used to spamming paragraphs after paragraphs of arguments, neither am i witty with short sentences.

I just type whatever comes to mind in my fuzzy ocean of thoughts.

Nothing much to say about school. Its been a bore. National day was...

Never mind. Nothing interesting.

Today was probably more hectic than the week combined. Normal school day plus jap club plus srp meant triple the energy needed to survive. Sadly some had to come from chem lecture and prac.

Jap Club was just a slacking session while we watched a school life romance movie called Koizora (love of the sky or smthing along that). As usual, jap stuff isnt exactly PG-13 (though yudong assured us this was) and there were many scenes which made Ben Aw hold up his file in agony in an attempt to shield himself from the corruption being shown (not that he is likely to succeed from gettin out of Jap club all pure and innocent). Oh well, at least it was slightly better than Maiko Hannn which was quite epicly not PG-13.

Nagged my way to SRP cos yudong was SLOW in transferring stuff. Im growing old from all these nagging. SRP was considerably enjoyable cos it was just a meetup to discuss stuff. Quite interesting to hear some new stuff from mentors and our project got some more scope. After all that rushing and pressure from the stupid progress report which threatens to end it once and for all for us, it was good to see it being finished. At least we wont get canceled (like a unpopular manga).

Ate cheap Macs at NUS again. Love their Macs. $5.50 for upsized Mcspicy meal at all times~

Got home, realized got shit load of work including SRP which is due tomorrow. Spent half the time poking and nagging Yudong to not get distracted and submit his paragraph while the other good dog obediently did his work and submitted a 1.5 page report when the entire report was supposed to be one page long. -.-

Meanwhile Delia went researching for our Abortion presentation and got traumatized by all the gory vids of abortions and fetuses on youtube. It isnt all that bad, but it really leaves a yucky feeling in ur stomach after watching it. :(

By the time YuDong finished his paragraph (his inertia is damn bloody big) it was so late my brain just finished rotting and i dint feel like summarizing anything at all. So the next best option: Set everything to font size 8. Voila, a nice 1 page report~ haha done.

By this time im feeling pleased with myself, having done some work, had a nice streak in mousehunt, packed my bag, finished SRP stuff and i actually typed so much for this post. Wow.

Im going to sleep now. Its good to sleep on happy thoughts. :)

Do you know how to use MSN?

2009-08-03T23:08:00.000+08:00

Wahhh pissed at stupid people doing stupid things on MSN.

The thing about statuses is to inform others about whether are you available for chat, whether you are doing work, whether you are at school but left the com on, etc...

ITS NOT A PERMANENT FIXTURE!

Lets have a simple lesson on MSN statuses.

Busy is used to indicate you doing work, pls dont come disturb and talk crap, dun send stupid links, yeah u kinda get it. Its like a DO NOT DISTURB sign u put on doors in hotel rooms. NO ONE IS FOREVER BUSY!!! (unless u are self masochistic and bury urself under photocopied past year papers) Busy =/= busy playing games -.-'''' Off your MSN if you are playing games, damnit.

Away status is used for BRB, AFK or simply, im at sch. But some people are ALWAYS AWAY. Being in view of your com or 1 meter away from your keyboard is NOT AWAY. This has been abused so much that people dun care and just spam nudge you while u are REALLY AWAY.

Appear Offline is the MOST PISSING STATUS OF ALL. WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO APPEAR OFFLINE WHEN THEY HAVE A MSN MEETING!!! wtf. Last time i was waiting for someone to come online to do some work. In the end spent 3 hours surfing the web and doing other work AND HE DINT COME ONLINE.
COME ON, I CANT SEE YOU IN FRONT OF YOUR COM, your status is the only indication i get. And dun bullshit like "oh when you come online pls poke me. I will come online" THATS STUPID.

Lets not abuse MSN statuses.Use it properly to your advantage. Remember, when the abuse stops, the misunderstanding stops too.

4chan vs my survey

2009-07-30T00:14:00.003+08:00

Was reading through survey results...when i came across this...

HEY THIS SURVEY HAS WAYYY TOO MANY OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS!!!
DIDN'T YOUR TEACHER REMIND YOU TO STOP AT ONE QUESTION???? LIKE THAT NOBODY WILL FEEL LIKE DOING THE SURVEY BECAUSE IT IS TOO TROUBLESOME TO FILL UP ALL THESE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS, RATHER THAN SIMPLY TICKING CHECKBOXES. THIS RESULTS IN THE PERSON FEELING ANNOYED AT HIMSELF FOR HAVING AGREED TO DO YOUR SURVEY AND WOULD HENCE GIVE YOU ANSWERS WHICH ARE NOT TRUE OR CORRECT TO THE BEST OF THEIR UNDERSTANDING. ALL GOOD SURVEYS HAVE NO MORE THAN A MAXIMUM OF 2 OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS OR ELSE IT WILL HAVE TO BE DONE VERBALLY BY MEANS OF HAVING YOUR GROUP MEMBERS ASKING MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THE QUESTIONS AND JOTTING DOWN WHATEVER THEIR ANSWER MAY BE. YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN LISTENING ACTIVELY IN YOUR PROJECT WORK LESSONS!
ALSO DOESN'T YOUR TEACHER HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT USING SURVEY MONKEY??? IT IS HIGHLY UNRELIABLE AS IT IS OPEN, I REPEAT, OPEN TO ANYONE USING THE INTERNET. DON'T GIVE ME NONSENSE ABOUT HOW "ONLY THOSE WHO YOU SEND THE LINK TO CAN DO THE SURVEY", WITH THE WONDERFUL GOOGLE SEARCH ENGINE ANYBODY CAN AND WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS WEBSITE EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT A CITIZEN OF YOUR COUNTRY, WHICH I ALSO KNOW HAPPENS TO BE IN SOUTH EAST ASIA. BY DOING SO YOU HAVE HIGHLY UNRELIABLE ANSWERS SUCH AS MINE. FOR GOODNESS SAKE GET OUT ON YOUR STREETS AND GIVE OUT YOUR SURVEYS, NOT DO THEM ONLINE SO THAT YOU CAN SKIVE OFF! THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU THINK WHO ARE FREE TO DO DESTRUCTIVE ACTS LIKE THIS, AND IF YOU NEED AN EXAMPLE NEED I REMIND YOU OF WHICH FLAVOUR WON THE BEN AND JERRYS NEXT NEW FLAVOUR ONLINE SURVEY?? ITS KIMCHI!!! COURTESY OF THE 4CHAN COMMUNITY.
By the way my answer to the above question would be "Yes. Why not?"
Have a nice day :)

May I kindly remind him that

1. Our survey has no compulsory open ended questions, with only 3 optional blanks for people to elaborate.

2. I can read normal words, thank you. No need for the caps. Unless that's the main communication style of 4chan, then i can't blame him for his ignorance.

3. You are probably one of the only bastards who googles and screws up random surveys online. The world isnt short of such people. Thankfully, I have never met you.

4.Mmmm. Kimchi. I dont really like it, but it would be interesting just to get a taste of it. If I had a vote, I would go for seaweed.

Cant see

2009-07-26T22:13:00.000+08:00

My poor old monitor flickered and died when i tried to start my computer. :(

Can u imagine how i despaired??? No internet, MSN, FACEBOOK, work, pictures, totally nothing to do for ONE WHOLE WEEK!!!

That was more than enough motivation for me to haul out the old laptop long over due for fixes and start fixing it.

Spent entire Sunday reinstalling everything on the laptop. Slow coms install Windows slowly :(

Well it was worth the effort to get a com to cheer myself up at the end of the day, slowly wasting away the last of my weekend.

In the end i dint write for DOORS anthology cos half my story in stuck inside my desktop with the spoilt screen and i dun have another moniter to hook up to retrieve it. Dun feel like rewriting it too. So thats that. But will probably finish it cos its linked to some other idea i have.

Haiz. Havnt done any work yet. As usual.

Eeeee. Econs

2009-07-18T23:24:00.003+08:00

Last grade back, finally wrapped up 2 weeks of mugging and agony of CTs.

Dunwan to do a full post, so just random points for today.

- AABCE. Go figure.

- Harry Potter 6 sucks. End of story. (Lavender is super ugly -.-)

- Been watching Clannad Afterstory. Ushio is so cute. xD

- Finally touched tutorials. sighz.

- Realised in the morning while eating prata that i got mild OCD. Always cut my prata into 8 equal parts before eating it. lol.

- Oh they extended Doors deadline. Seems like time to get down to writing it.

Rise and Fall

2009-07-13T20:40:00.002+08:00

CT results was a rollercoaster ride >.<

First 2 (Chem+Maths) was damn lousy, argh, was expecting a higher score, but maths was scamming us on explanations and Chem was simply. @#@*#%@$.

But the next 2 (Phys+GP) was quite unexpectedly nice xD yay first bad then good, now got happy happy mood haha

BUT that wasnt the main issue of this post.

This is.

After living at my house for like 10+ years, buying Macs downstairs is akin to taking a gamble. And the odds are varied.

The Macs downstairs is like a ULU Macs in the middle of the heartlands. Meaning few people go and eat compared to those in the malls. Thus, it is their delivery and training centre.

Most of the people at the counter are normally part timers or new employees who just joined. They get to work for 2 weeks here before they get 'shipped' off to a bigger Macs in a mall (normally i see them go bukit panjang plaza). The managers usually stay on for 1 month or so before moving on too.

Why do i call it a gamble? You see, with new employees, they either are good, nub or they just plain suck. Lets see the 3 different aspects:

1.Good
Your basic counter guy, commonly seen in big mall Macs, not so commonly seen at my Macs. Notices u, smiles, greet, ask nicely, gets ur order right. Everyone had experience with them.

2. Nub
When you are lucky, you get this fumbling guy who seem like hes totally new, just came yesterday, cautiously enters your order into the cashier (i think he doesnt noe theres a cancel button) gets ur food slowly but at least it arrives.

3. Fail
He doesnt notice you (at least pretend not to). He needs you to repeat your order. Twice. He gets the wrong stuff. One word. FAIL.

Okay so flip a coin, and get into Macs and ORDER. If you get a good guy, then.....

Thats good.
yeah.

If you get a nub....then it depends. A nice nub would get u a pack of fries with more fries, ice cream with MORE ice cream (its quite significant for ice cream) and not screw ur order up. A bad nub however, will shake loose some fries from ur pack (like wat the good ones do anyway, its standard procedure). The most obvious thing is that THEY DUNNO HOW TO MAKE UR ICE CREAM CONE.

If you notice, theres a picture of a PERFECT ice cream cone pasted on the ice cream machine. the employees are supposed to make 5 loops and done. Still, 5 loops can differ a lot. The standard cone is bottom empty, loop 5 times, end off. A nice nub would FILL the btm of the cone xD, loop generously, end off with a big dallop at the top. NICE.
A bad nub would give u a very slender cone :( wasted

DONT TALK ABT FAIL PPL X.X
Once i had this cone, 4 rounds only, so damn lopsided that the ice cream fell off -.-
Waste my ICE CREAM.

Its a good gamble to take, whether you get a normal cone, a biggie cone or a lousy cone. Afterall, its just 70 cents. Not much to gain, not much to lose.

But its still a gamble.

And a fun one too~

School starts with a mumble

2009-07-07T22:59:00.002+08:00

School finally kicks off with H1N1 in tow, meaning ALL CCAs cancelled~ wootz, perfect time to hang out with friends (though we are supposed to all go home straight after school, i dun see many doing that)

Started off the day with visiting the printing shop before first period for chem notes - to find another 20+ chem reps already waiting at the door. -.- no one collected notes after CTs (who would rmb?) so first day first period collect. Surely they should have a better timing, they should be expecting us every morning, cant they open slightly early? >.<>< Down the drain it goes~

CTs over = time to pick up a mini project to do = scribbling random ideas anywhere. I nid new ideas for new stories liao.

Oh well, not much time to blog everyday, life is pretty boring anyway, maybe school will bring something better.

Hopefully.

2009-06-29T22:51:00.002+08:00

Yes We Can!

2009-06-21T22:30:00.002+08:00

Phew, after 1 month of rushed planning, hectic email spamming, last minute decisions, 3 days of hyperness, Yes We Can! finally SUCCEEDED!!!

YEAH!

looking back, we were so excited about our boonlay project when it was first conceived, but the enthu spirit died off after a while of slacking...

But as the date drew near, people started to work and revive the project and it got going~ Yeahhhh~

My first time doing logistics and finance~ it was great fun (partly due to the nice budget) I wan to do it again! (maybe with a stricter budget, having too much money is nt that fun) But logistics was fun! Having everyone look for you to get stuff makes you feel more involved in everything. Yeah, kinda cool/fun!

Okay moving onto the camp itself...

We had 18 adorable kids, with only 1 ap. Thank god the aper was quite easy to handle, or i would have died.Day 1 was art therapy and station games. Art was handled by external instructors and they brought acrylic paint. OMG, first time i ever see the power of acrylic paint and I LOVED IT. the shades were so beautiful and more vibrant compared to runny watercolor. Damn, i wan to paint something with acrylic sometime.

Station games was fun, cos the kids nvr played b4 the games like the blanket game, human knot, lava river, and xin min was so good in explaining the games to the kids, i dint have to do a thing~ cept to set up and pack up.

Day 2 was more art plus dance session. We ripped off the idea of mosaic art from orientation and using 24 pieces of card board, form a picture and let them paint each piece. Used water color, not the pro acrylic paint :(

Dance session was...tiring. We got street dance to teach them a dance and it was damn tiring. We tried to learn it... but we just gave up. -.-

Day 3 (which is today btw) was Bring a Hope + finale. BaH was just lame. Go around give food, listen to their poor stories, then go home. -.- Though the stories were quite sad sometimes, i dun see BaH having the ability to help them. But there was plenty of food and 7 up Revive. Oh yes Revive. Have to talk about it. One of the most fail drinks in the century. I cant believe people would pay for it -.- . it sucks. taste is stupid. Dun drink it.

Oh yes, 3 kids got stomachache, why? I bet its the drink. Anyway, i brought each of them up on 3 seperate occasions, paid 10 cents for the toilet paper, waited 1 min outside of toilet, see them coming out of the toilet, tell me they cant shit -.- waste my time.

Finale was funnnnnnn. They were all practicing the dance, and we had to learn it fast cos they kinda dunno also, so we watched xin min's camera cos she recorded the street dance team dancing the full dance. 15 mins before the concert started, we had the inspiration to do the batch dance on stage as an item. Great. And we kinda forgot the wildcats part, so we decided to cut it off. lol well they dunno that theres more to it xD

The camp was a great experience, working with kids, playing around, looking at their energy and innocence... The kids were all very nice, cute and HYPER. Controlling them was crazy. Im so damn tired from trying to calm them down.

But i will miss them.

Definitely.

Bad Weather

2009-06-11T18:31:00.002+08:00

Ignored my blog for too long ><

June is SUPER HOT!!! damn bloody hot. Lucky the person living downstairs perma on aircon, so its cooler in my house~

HOT = cant do much = no mugging.

haha, havnt touched homework for damn long liao.

Aside from the noticable lack of discipline, life continues on as normal.

Wake up, eat, read papers, watch anime, play maple, sleep.

Of course theres always the option to doing something different...

I just dont feel like it.

Dun blame me.

Blame the heat.

Purple

2009-06-01T20:58:00.002+08:00

Finally finished painting my house after 2 days of hard work whitewashing walls, moving furniture, painting, moving furniture back, etc.

No prizes for guessing the color of my bedroom. xP

Dun ask y i like purple, i just like it. Since like sec 3.

Purple is...

A nice color!

A royal color!

Half of my house color!

Color of grapes (its a nice fruit)

Color of the dusk (wat a lovely hue right)

Color from mixing blue and red (coincidentally my previous fav colors were RED AND BLUE)

JUNE IS HERE!!!!

With it comes...

Many hours of computer game time

Many hours of sleep

Actually more sleepless nights spent playing com

Time to finish up the anime in my HDD

MUG (no im nt doing that)

PW (Ahhhhhh shit)

SRP (another problem)

AND THERES CHALET :D

Sian of Work

2009-05-21T21:54:00.002+08:00

Ahhh crap...

Its happening again.

My passion and drive just suddenly died. -.-

Whenever i go to school, i don't feel like listening to the teacher.

Whenever i sit at my desk, i don't feel like doing work.

Instead, i wonder listlessly around the net, lost and aimless.

Its becoming increasingly worrying and exasperating. When you have free time to do work that you are supposed to do, yet you just sit there and stare and let your brain rot because you just totally don't feel like doing it. Lifting the pen becomes such a chore. Getting past the first question totally drains the brain.

So stuck between 2 feelings. I dun wan to waste time, but i dun wan to do work, and i have nothing else to do!!! ARGHHHH

I need a spark in my life.

NOW.

Sweet Potato

2009-05-19T23:49:00.002+08:00

I ate PURPLE PORRIDGE!

Color is due to sweet potato!

YGO!

2009-05-18T21:54:00.000+08:00

A comparison video...

O$P$

2009-05-17T21:42:00.002+08:00

What is happening to idiots like me who totally forgot about the GIRO form given out during grad ceremony:

A letter from School

RE:Outstanding School and Misc. Fees

WOOPS. I thought RJ no nid school fees LOL

PS: Where does the school fees go to? High quality paper to send reminders to people like me to get their money.

Their paper must have cost a bomb.

Dont say LAZY

2009-05-13T23:49:00.002+08:00

Im nt lazy, just procrastinating.

Been busy the past few days, working, slacking...

O.o

2009-05-07T22:40:00.003+08:00

I realised i have nothing much to write in my blog cos life is quite bleak now.

Finally coming close to confirming a SRP mentor... This sunday finalise and yay! i got myself a project! not to mention FUN and EXCITING. Cant wait to start. Im hyped for it.

Anyway, I noe that this blogskin and font makes it hard to read, but bear with it. Im trying hard to make time to make a new one.

Like now.

Tidbits of Life

2009-05-04T23:16:00.000+08:00

Life is currently quite screwed up, so here's a few points that Life still has to offer:

1. Nothing is graded in RJ (til the exams)

This statement has always been on the top of my head since Day 1 of JC life. After 4 years cowering under the fear of getting your nice 4.0 screwed because you forgot to study for a simple quiz, we are finally free from the shadows. Of course, this does not mean you can lalala~ and screw everything. Aim high, strive hard, and if you achieve something, good for you. But if life slaps you in the face hard, just think of this statement and move on.

2. Your friends love you

Friendship stands the test of time. Whenever life tastes horrible, get a bunch of friends, enjoy that short period of joy before you return to the books. At least life seems to be less deary that way. Believe in them, and they will believe in you.

3. Time waits for the suffering

According to the Unstable Time Equilibrium, time tends to slow down when you are suffering. Well, be happy that life has decided to reward you with slightly more time to solve your problems and get up.

4. You have 2 good legs

Even if Life sucks and you feel like the most suay person in the world, take notice of your 2 good legs and move on. We are lucky to be gifted with such abilities that others may not have. Cherish it. Use it. By the way, this is a superbly obvious reference of FMA.

5. Being Normal is good

You get to enjoy Life in a different way, slacking, cherishing friends, fooling around instead of enjoying life in a sai kang way. Sometimes, not every leadership role is something that you will enjoy taking on. Being normal is a way of enjoying life as it is now.

Yummy, i like tidbits ^.^

Wolverine

2009-04-30T21:37:00.002+08:00

Went out with CCP to watch Wolverine, though im nt a big fan of X men myself.

Overall: A nice movie to watch, nice CG, storyline was bearable, peppered with fangirl screamable shots.

Though this is a movie abt WOLVERINE and his origins, i really liked Gambit in the movie. He's way more cool than Wolverine and his CG effects plus his powers were totally awesome. Better than some CG claws stuck on your hands. Gambit deserves more screen time, especially more fighting from him. Totally disappointing when he just swoops in and smashes the ground a few times at the end.
Throw some cards man~

The movie was quite good but the ending was a piece of shit. They wanted to link up this movie to X men, so in the end, all the children were saved by kind Prof X (who looks like a pedophile and appeared out of nowhere), Wolverine lost his memories (and you totally wont feel sorry for him) and the shitty random part stuffed within the credits.

Another stupid flaw was how they equated mutants to super humans. Hello, having super powers does not mean u can jump incredible heights and do acrobatic stunts. Okay, maybe Wolverine can do it, since he's 'wolfish' but hey when did the rest get so much strength?

Still it was enjoyable in the middle, you get to see some cool abilities with great effects, explosions and bullet time.

May and June has a lot more movies to watch too, Transformers, Night at Museum 2, Angels and Demons
^.^

Need more money!!!

Blogskin?

2009-04-28T22:11:00.001+08:00

its time to change blogskin.

What theme this time?

Probably wont have time to screw around with paint -.-

Aiya, see what inspiration can i get...

Tilt back

2009-04-25T23:30:00.002+08:00

I feel like im moving backwards in life.

Stuck in the mud of work.

My spirit dead.

My way is blocked by the world.

My hands stuck.

As I sink deeper into the mirth of brown,

The songs just keep rewinding.

I look back,

The few threads of happiness that I can find,

The remaining pieces of life that I have.

I tilt my head back,

Take in the last breath of air,

As I drown in the brown.

My heart. My soul.

Frozen.

Unstable Time Equilibrium

2009-04-21T23:20:00.002+08:00

Oh shittttt, suddenly, commitments pile up, my brain is so crammed with them...

FYI, I dun have a diary/organiser. How do i remember my stuff?

I dont. -.- i dont bother rmbing test dates, just nid to approx noe how many hours to zero hour can liao.

For huge commitments, I have this loud hailer in my mind that shouts the stupid commitments to me every 5 minutes so i dont forget. This sometimes result in me jerking up wide eyed and checking the time/date for no reason at all.

Still, this constant reminder is a great pressure for me to START DOING SOMETHING.

I like pushing stuff to the end. I like to slack. Its the ultimate truth.

So to cope, I introduce you to one of my principles:

~~~Unstable Time Equilibrium~~~

Okay this theory solves all my problems with shortage of time.(Not really lah)

First the framework of this theory. (actually got inspired from FMA)

Time moves relative to our perspective.

When we are enjoying ourselves, time passes quickly.

When we are in agony, time seems to wait for you.

So, by reversing the above statements, you get

Time's speed is directly proportional to your mood, with 0 being Maximum Agony and infinity being Super Happy.

So to control time, One has to balance himself in between happy happy land and DG Dimension (Welcome to the world of pain xP Digimon reference)

Basically, how to apply this equilibrium:

First, learn to appreciate pain and learn to zi high.

When you need time, degrade your mood to a score near 0 (its impossible to get zero, you cannot stop time). This gives you more time than usual to do your work.

When you dun nid time (this, by the way, is a impossible scenario) just zi high, and u will find time gone in no time xP

Of course, this unstable time equilibrium is affected by other factors such as stress and THU (Time Hates U) Factor.

Stress is entrophy of the mind. It is ever increasing, never ever stopping its growth to screw up your mind. Symptoms include wrist slitting, glancing at clocks for no reason, easily irritated, etc.
There must be work done on your mind (not BY your mind, its totally diff) in order to stop the spread of entrophy. This includes playing mindless fb games, mindless shooting games and mindless hack and slash games.

THU factor is just unpredictable. its either you have it or you dont. Nothing can be done. If you are unlucky, just count yourself unlucky and start preparing your coffin NOW.

SO, as explained, the unstable time equilibrium is something that helps you control the flow of time to help you do your work and still have time to watch anime ^^.

Nothing can be gained without pain, so bear with it!

Oh shit, i zi high too much, time passed too fast while i typed this random article.

Damn. (but that just proved my theory LOL)

ORA~

2009-04-18T00:05:00.002+08:00

Spent 4 hours preparing flowers for our class stall for ORA ><

Mind numbing work, dethorning roses.

We got some lilies!!! xD

They are so niceeeeee

They better sell out faster than roses xP

What better than to end today with a great episode of K ON! and a few mins of Digimon World 1 on PSP!

North Korea, PI and FB

2009-04-15T23:27:00.003+08:00

North Korea appeared on the news again for the wrong reasons (actually they nvr appeared for the correct reasons at all)

Pulling out of 6 way talks, starting up nuclear plants, doing everything it can to piss USA off and grab its attention, its like a spoilt child throwing a tantrum. It knows that it has a lot of threatening power and it deliberately uses it. The more i read about it, the more pissing North Korea appears to be. After all, they want to barge into the world, produce drugs, get free aid, be at the top of the world, and they are doing it in such a way that everyone is pissed at them.

Imagine you have this asshole in your class who isn't really gd at anything but stupid things like paper ball fights, and he acts all pompous, do stupid stuff, grabs attention, threatens the class. That asshole would be North Korea in the world right now.

Damn, right now, i feel like dumping all of Chernobyl's waste in North Korea and see how his face mutates.

Random Links:
North Korea
->Nukes
->Fail missile
->Pissing assholes
->Fat Dictator (i always thought he was chubby)
->Uniform
->Horrible standard of living
->Drugs

Thoughtlink:
North Korea
->Nuke
->radiation
->Mutation
->Ugly
->Girls (O.o) Start linkback
->Uniform (sailor fuku ><)
->Military
->Regime
->North Korea

My PI is on Chernobyl, cos i always wanted to investigate it and i didnt have the time last time, so i figured this was the perfect chance to kill 2 birdys with a stone.
Oh well, my PW group is great! So no worries for PI!

For the past 3 days, been stoning on FB for fb games. They were SUPPOSED to be designed such that i come back and click clik every 15 minutes, but what happens? I stare at the screen for 15 mins and then click click, then stare again.

ME UTTER FAIL.

Just noticed that MY BLOGPOST IS LONGER THAN MY PI! wtf i can write so much for this and stone for PI wondering wat to write. -.-

When i saw the word limit of 500 for PI, i thought 'damn, so short?'

NOW, its more like 'Damn, how to hit 300?'

Haiz.

Life is like a bunch of grapes. Not every fruit is perfect.

Rave

2009-04-13T22:33:00.002+08:00

Sheesh, i cant believe my whole family just went to sleep at like 10pm.

Oh well, privacy ^^

Okay, im so gonna talk about a few stuff that i really like:

1. Okay, some stupid game i invented to past time, and to see how people's minds work.
How to Play:
Get a word.
Any word.
Now, take down the first word that comes to mind that has some relationship with the previous word.
Repeat 5 times.
Now try to link back to your original word using other words/relations.
Finish up your thought circle.
EG:
Blog
-> Story (i put stories in blogs)
-> Fantasy (I really like fantasy)
-> Fairy (haha i was expecting like dragon but oh well)
-> Female (fairies must be female in my opinion)
-> Skirts (xP) Now to link back to blog...Note that this time u dun have to use the first word that comes to mind, or else u will die from trying

-> Green (Too many RJ skirts in my mind)
-> Envy (the saying goes, green with envyyy)
-> Fullmetal Alchemist (LOL ANIME REFERENCE)
-> Anime (pretty obvious)
-> Randomc (Anime review blog that i visit)
-> Blog (Hah, back to sq 1)

TADA! Thought circle done!
And to review the circle, .....
I would probably describe myself as a fantasy and anime lover who stares at girls too much
>_< Sounds wrong.

watever.

BUT its a fun game!!! hahaha i love playing it.

2. Oh man, talking about anime, i just LOVE K ON~
its super MOE~ plus its pretty funny and cute xD
A great combination of song, laughter and moe~
As expected from the producers of Lucky Star!

3. Been playing Patapon 2 like mad >.< Sadly my sense of rhythm still sucks and im stuck on easy mode -.- gargghhhh but still its playable at least can win haha.

Just realised YUI is a very nice name to type ^^ Why? Just try it? haha

And Mio is like... So Singtel ~.~

Okay random post, random over.
byeeeee

Epic Bday

2009-04-06T23:19:00.002+08:00

Today was totally funny...

Apparently someone spread the messenge that today, 6th April was someone's bday in our class. So started the day passing bday card for everyone to sign.

We had 2 free periods so we went RI canteen to eat and discuss what are we gonna get for bday. So we wanted a cake >< Cake is a must for bdays!!!

Trooped into Popcafe to see the cakes. $30 bucks for a oreo cheesecake. It wasnt that expensive, but for 1 bday, it was. So we were debating when I noticed the time and said,'Hey, its past 1230, lets run out to j8 to buy a cake!' After like 30 secs of discussion, we decided that a J8 cake is definitely cheaper and smaller than the cheesecake in Popcafe, so me yiwen and mark started jogging out of school.

Went around Bishan first to see the bakeries outside but they all suck so went back to J8 where we used rock paper scissors to decide on the flavour of the cake. Choc Truffle won so we took that and bought some tissue and a lighter too. So all was set for the big reveal.

Now for the stupid yet funny part. Just 5 mins before the reveal, apparently, NO ONE HAD A BDAY TODAY!
-.-'''
Apparently someone read the bday list wrongly and assumed a wrong date. we were 3 months early ><

So we decided to eat the cake in celebration for the bdays missed during Jan till our class was formed, which was about 4 bdays. ^^ Good cake!

Still its a damn funny incident when I think of it now. haha. Such a big mistake lol but everything kinda turned out all right xD

Moral of Story: Double check bday dates B4 organising xD Dun worry, I will check personally next time, no more listening to rumors!

Jap Club Camp!

2009-04-04T23:16:00.002+08:00

Jap Club Camp!

Expect all sorts of shit!

The camp started off late cos everyone was like LATE, and there were more J2s,J3s, and J5s combined than J1s.

Started off the camp with random screening of Hetalia Axis Powers! 5 mins tv casts that parodies countries. Like how Italy is gay and keeps going, 'Pasta!' in a gay way.haha pretty funny.

Icebreakers! Apparently, HH people like spam jap club, like half the active members all HH. weird lol. Many people avoided answering questions with 'You wouldn't want to know!' cos the answer is really really weird haha and all of us knew it ><

Movie! After icebreakers they screened some random movie called maiko haaaaan! it is WTF. Its totally random. Its about this guy who has a fetish for geishas and how he chased his dream. Read the basic plot here in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiko_Haaaan!!!
The part following wats in the plot described in the wiki was totally screwed up. Weird shit like 'Im your father' and a footjob popped up randomly. Stupid jokes were made, like how the company brought like 100 mil yen to bail him out, only to find that 1mil yen is needed. Then the officer went to open the jailgate just as the guy finally filed the bars with a SPOON.
Randomness ruled the day.

Amazing Race was just walking around the school and doing random stations like singing songs backwards (the words are also flipped, so fantastic became tictasfan) and typing words out on a big keypad on the floor.

The entire camp ended with all of us damn tired from amazing race, went back to SR1 and 2 to slack and watch the J2s play their favourite game - Dance Dance Revolution. thy are super amazing man. I cant believe how they dance so fastttt.

Went for dinner and talked a lot of cock about anime. haha

Jap Club is a lot of fun for someone like me cos i really cant start convos other than science and anime convos >< So I do really feel at home with the Jap club ppl cos most of them watch anime ^^

Yay Jap Club!

Teach me how to teach well

2009-04-01T22:13:00.002+08:00

If you think I enjoy teaching people a lot, you are slightly mistaken.

Teaching has a lot of pressure.

I am paranoid of how I may be passing on the wrong ideas/concepts. How would others think of you if you pass on the wrong answers?

I am scared of making a mistake. It makes you look stupid.

I don't really want to give out answers for free. It makes me feel guilty for not trying to make you understand the concept. When you fail, a small part of me fails too.

When people pay you for tuition, they expect even more.

At least I expect myself to do more. To help others. To improve.

Yet, all this boils down to how well can I teach.

Please, can some one teach me how to teach well?

(Okay, maybe i thought too much about life.)

Pronounication

I dunno what to say

2009-03-26T01:13:00.002+08:00

Life sucks. For now.

When inspiration smacks you, you grab its hand.

~~~ Metal ~~~

It all started with…

Drops pattered on the windscreen as the wipers worked furiously to clean them off. The downpour just kept on coming, filling up the screen with splatters as fast as the wipers could clear them. The child stared out of the window, watching blurry cars whoosh by. His father was driving the car, his eyes constantly darting between the windscreen and his phone as he struggled to juggle both work and driving. His mother was chatting happily, her hands waving around animatedly as she recounted all the shopping she just did.

He pressed his face against the cool window, feeling the stinging cold of the outside world. They were driving around at the top of the world. It feels good to be at the top of the world. You get the sun, the rain, the weather… he shivered at the thought of the Basement. Cold, slimy, dirty, not to mention the creatures there…
A beam of light shone across his face. The clouds were thinning out. The downpour reduced to a drizzle. His mother was still chatting incessantly on the phone while his father was staring at the latest news on his phone. They were still on the same road. How long would it take? He wondered, thinking about his…

A loud horn jarred his thoughts, he snapped his head around. The incoming yellow filled his vision. His heart froze in fear as the world came crashing down on him.
Wet. What happened? He forced his heavy eyelids open and looked around. The car roof was completely torn off, the light drizzle turning his shirt pink. The trunk that smashed into him on the right pinned down his right limbs under a ton of mangled steel. He could not feel anything on his right. He scrapped away some loose pieces with his left hand, revealing the true extent of the damage. His arm was twisted at a completely unnatural angle, his funny bone sticking out through the skin. A piece of iron stabbed through his biceps like a nail. His right leg was covered with oil. The engine was still humming beside his leg, steaming and making an occasional sputter.

He looked away, only to meet his mother. The crane on the trunk had rammed straight at her, the rusty iron hook jammed right in her throat. The hook was bathed brownish red, the blood indistinguishable from the rust. She hung there like a banshee, eyes wide open, and her gaping mouth bloody.

A silent scream.

The engine exploded, consuming his world in a bright red fireball.

… a dream.

Gray Day

2009-03-24T21:02:00.002+08:00

Shit.

I wont fail again.

I must not fail again.

I hate failing.

But reality cannot be changed.

Get it,
Face it,
Move on.

BBQ!

2009-03-20T20:58:00.003+08:00

18TH MARCH

CLASS BBQ

Stoned slacked slept at home till like 4pm b4 making my way down to Zewei's house. Arrived with like everyone playing table tennis and cards. lol

Apparently everyone was waiting for each other to go start the fire (AKA do the saikang) -.- So in the end those nt playin went out to start the fire.

I only had a faint recollection of how to start the fire >< so i just tried my hands at it. Mark and Yiwen tried to do the other one.

Apparently something was wrong when the charcoal refused to start properly -.- So we just keep burning and burning and burning till we ran out of firestarters.

2 boxes of it -.-

Finally we started the fire after like 1 hour of messing around. Started cooking a few otahs.....

AND THE FIRE DIED. -.- I think not hot enough zzzz the rest of the charcoal dint catch fire...

zzz so we all just sat around and ate bee hoon -.-'''
Quite sad, when we prepared aLOT of stuff to bbq, but fire failed -.-
The night was quite breezyzzz

Maskil brought Saiful to crash our failed party and they MANAGED TO START THE FIRE!!!!

YAY

Managed to eat some chicken wings in the end, but there was lots of leftovers, esp vegetarian food, cos they specially bought it for him, CEPT him dint come -.-

In the end, I koped some food (including the super expensive prawns ><) for the next day

19TH MARCH

Yeah! finally the day of reckoning! Went early at 12pm to buy the stuff. Met with only joel and junliang >< cos *cough* someone *cough* was still at home doing maths homework -.-

Screwed around in NTUC, buying lots of stuff like 12L of drinks, corn, even considered sparkling juice (too bad it was WAYY over budget). Spent about $50 on food and utensils.
Met up with Jan, Mich and Pauline just in time for them to bring the stuff back xD. Lucky us haha

Dropped off the stuff at Junliang's house b4 moving out to play badminton ^^. The badminton courts were like some wulu place behind S11, 3 floors up. Quite fun lah though i suck at badminton ><
There was a sparrow lying around the front of the stage and all of we like wat the shit, dead bird! THEN THE BIRD MOVED! AHHH!!! haha damn funny

The delivery from City Satay came so junliang, mich, weixian and me went down to collect it. Erika just had to arrive at this time so Junliang went ahead to collect first while us 3 stayed back to meet Erika. xP Got bubble tea on the way!

Set up the pit SUCCESSFULLY! Got a crash course from my dad yesterday night xD YEAH! i was so scared that it would fail >< the trick is to use 3 firestarters at one go, a stronger fire turns the charcoal red in no time.

We managed to eat EVERYTHING! YAY! ok cept for a few chicken wings, a bunch of otahs and 2 kebabs. But we actually finished bbqing all the stuff! GREAT no wastage. Finished the drinks too (*cough* someone *cough* actually thought it was too much)

Next came the fun part of the evening. DUNKING!!!! Okay, it wasnt fun at first, cos everyone ganged me -.-

But it turned out to be a real fun evening with Junliang zeb and joel dunked too. then jan, mich and cherie were suddenly enlightened and jumped in.

So 4 wet boys and 3 wet girls. haha

Stayed over at Junliang's house that night with ben, joel, mich and weixian. We were doing psycho tests to each other xD tryin to prove a hypothesis. viewed photos till like 2 am.
Then started talking cock and gossiping till like 5am. O.o Quite stony sometimes when we run out of topics, but still fun ^^ Staying over with close friends, chatting nonsense, laughing, truly a unique memory that i will treasure...

Woke up at 12pm and slacked around, play taboo till 2pm b4 we realised we needed to eat. -.-

Found Mich's cute note! haha

It was a truly tiring BUT FUN 2 days! Credits:

Thanks for Delia and Class for the class bbq! though it wasnt as great as it turned out, it was still a great time with the class!

Thanks to Ben Aw and OG for attending the OG bbq! Special thanks to JUNLIANG!!! For the house and pit! xD

Im damn tired now...

HH05 has been one of the best group of friends that i will ever have! I really love hanging with all of you!!! YEAH!!! Lets hope our OG stays close together throughout the 2 years!!! xD

zzzz

kthxbai!

Tired

2009-03-20T17:36:00.001+08:00

When your head is spinning, your body is tired, your brain is frizzled,

YOU DUN BLOG.

Instead you listen to this:

A Closer Look at (MY) Life

2009-03-17T21:30:00.002+08:00

Okay, im bored, i dun wan to let a fb quiz hog the top of my blog, so im just gonna do a post. haha

Partly motivated by the fact that I have PRIVACY NOWWWW

Okay Life Updates:

Finally caught up with Index and Regios. Dint bother to watch Kurokami cos its like kinda boring and too weird (i mean like...someone can boost your power just by wanting to fight? nonono fail) Regios is getting better week after week, loving it.

Realised my money for this month is gonna run out (WOAH) cos i hav been spending too much. Like WAYYYY too much. Some more tmr got bbq, thurs also have bbq, my wallet is gonna be much much lighter. Waiting for that $120 bucks to come my way this Sunday to patch up my finances.

Mousehunt just pissed me off with 10 red boxes in a row telling me that my Ambush trap fails against Master of Cheese Claw. zzzz im tempted to experiment with Horsey lol.

Okay, so a Closer look at the quiz i just did (its below this post) :

Your view on yourself:
haha people find me interesting? Woah! Okay, maybe cos im weird, do weird stuff, randomly go high sometimes, talk random crap, etc. haha. Is that good or bad ? ><
Good Listener??? Ahhh maybe lar, i can shut my trap if someone is really emoing.
I hide my true self. Okay thats a fact. I really do behave myself differently in front of different people, but thats normally because i separate my social circles.
Dun worry, Im the same whether in RI or RJ ^^ haha.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
Actually, i really know the answer to this question -.- Afterall, how would i know if i havnt really fallen in love b4? >< I guess i would answer this when the time comes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
Another weird question that i probably cant answer. Well, if its asking about now, i probably wont do much about the relationship cos 1.Im not a romantic 2.Im studying 3.I would rather keep it toned down and secret so that no one would know.
Final Answer: Im not gonna start a relationship. I guess that the quiz answer is pretty true.

The seriousness of your love:
How many bloody times they have to ask about love -.- HAHAHA they said i will find myself with plenty of dates. NOW, i guess that probably people are thinking that I cheated at the quiz. hahaha. Okay i doubted that answer myself too -.-

Your views on education:
I guess that some rebellious side of me just wants to get out and choing the world ^^ Its a pretty exciting world out there, and sometimes, the world gets more interesting that that pretty girl you like in school.

The right job for you:
Pretty true i guess. I havnt really decided on my FINAL career path. I wanna do something i EXCEL in, I LIKE, and I EARN ENOUGH. Enough said, that isnt probably gonna happen.

How do you view success:
Im paranoid. Im scared of failure.

What are you most afraid of:
I guess that im also afraid to be alone. I really wan to be with someone everytime. That physical presence gives me courage to go ahead with something that im afraid of. Thats y i love doing anything with friends ^^

Who is your true self:
Mmmmm i guess that i cant really say much. Its up to others to decide for this.

Personality Test

2009-03-17T21:04:00.000+08:00

Another FB quizzz

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Boredom

2009-03-16T23:33:00.000+08:00

When Snowy gets so damn bored

Hectic

2009-03-15T20:29:00.003+08:00

What a busy 2 days....

FRI the 13th

Started the day SUPER early at 5 am, travelled to Yishun for Kenneth Goh's birthday. Kenneth Siah baked a blackforest cake with baoyi and Nigel Loo (busybody who just came for fun lol)

Apparently, everyone couldnt wake up early enough (I slept at 130am the night before because i was mass convoing -.-) so we all slightly off schedule. Like 40 mins late. Supposed to wake him up, but he woke himself up early -.- zzzz. Nvm that, we managed to surprise him at his doorstep at 7am ^^ Gave away my Dark Dive Bomber and Gold heavy Storm cos i wasnt using it to the full potential. It would definitely see more use with Kenneth Goh haha.

After cake eating, we escorted him to school for his WUSHU camp. Not a great birthday, but at least he got a nice surprise ^^

I went to stone in Ksiah's house till 1 cos i gt nthing to do -.- Long time since i touched my cards haha, so it was like return to sec 3/4 where i was spamming YGO all day long lol.

After like 4 hours of YVD, extracted meself from his house and travelled to Cathay. Still damn early. Wondered around before finally OG came. A small of 5 of us went to watch Slumdog.

Slumdog was quite a nice story, u could definitely see how it won so many awards. Portrayal of his story was good, the pinch of humour was welcomed. I couldnt see how it was NC16 -.- Didnt seem too puky to me.

Had dinner at Far East Plaza, Ramen 10 where we met up with other ppl from our OG.

Fast Fwd to CHORALE CONCERT.

Im nt a musically inclined person, nvr had the passion to actually pick up an instrument. Sooo Chorale was like my 2nd music concert i went to haha.
Chorale was a great reminder of how powerful the human voice can be. Indeed, it was a unique wavelength, a refreshing change from the usual music that i listen to. What made the concert better were how they moved out of their comfort zone and performed something out of their talent. Other than singing, humorous skits and dancing inserted a new angle into the concert. I loved the skit haha. You could see the humongous effort put in to practice and perfect the entire skit.

Chorale concert would definitely leave a great impression behind.

SAT 14th March

Woke up at 12, choing choing choing, went to NH carn
Nh carn was like ORA day, cept it was NH lah... Got overpriced stuff all over, dunking booth, bouncy castle, etc and LOTS OF NOISE.
Anyway, abt 12 of 6JK came down only... either ppl too lazy to step out of their house or we forgot to tell them ><
Got bored at the carn cos without money, you cant do anything, so borrowed kailin's frisbee and went to some wulu corner of the school to play frisbee with clarence hongbo and sean. Sean was pro enough to throw the frisbee over the fence into govt ground (NO TRESPASSING) twice in the row -.- Lucky got no barbed wire on the fence so it was easy to climb over.
Got damn hot so we ended frisbee just in time to join the rest of the group to watch Mrs Lee the principal get dunked. We gathered $20 bucks (WHAT A SCAM) to dunk also, with Yuxuan taking the toss. xD It was kinda a big bargain cos right after we dunked her, the bidding for the right to dunk her went up to $100 bucks and $250 after that.
xD

Went Yudong's house to play pool, with Julian totally pwning kailin even with 1 hand handicap. lol

Final activity of the day was Kbox with 9 ppl. Went in at like 8+pm right after dinner. One thing we dint noe was the FREAKING PRICE. We realised it was 31 bucks per person only at 12 -.- So we decided to stay all the way till it closes at 3am . lol Parents would definitely scream at us >< luckily julian lives in bukit panjang like me, so my mom was like okay, fine u can stay out late, as long as u go home when julian goes home. haha, great to have friends who stay near by ^^ Kbox was okay lah cos i cant sing -.- and i dun listen to eng/chinese songs -.- but it was fun.

Total expenses in 48 hours:

10 bucks for bus card
10 bucks for Kenneth goh's bday (thats for the cake, the cards i gave him was worth 40 bucks)
10 bucks for movie
5 bucks for Chorale
20 bucks for Food
30 bucks for Kbox
5 bucks for taxi home

2 days of FUN, $90 BUCKS gone, Tired and sleppy.

I LOVE MY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Busy day

2009-03-11T21:47:00.002+08:00

Wahhh such a busy dayyyy todayyyy~~~

First major thing today was Physics test. Wahhh, so difficult, nearly killed me brain -.- lets hope for the best ^^

Then was physics lecture where we ran our Formula R car. Dint win but at least got consolation prize hahaha. $10 in popular vouchers lol.
The top prizes are even stupider. They gave out Borders vouchers for the top 2 but popular vouchers for the rest of the prizes. Means people who won a top prize and a consolation cant spend them together -.- Weird school

Jap Club was End of Term Celebrations!!!!

I was in charge of the dance booth where i just made everyone dance to Hare Hare Yukai haha
Quite fun lah, some people actually danced quite well, but some are definitely amusing lol

Council interviews was at 5, so i went early.

Got interviewed by the head teacher of Council ><
Aiyah, not bad lah, shes quite good, not those that make you sit uptight one. Quite relaxed atmosphere. I just said watever that came to my mind first, cos its the truth.
I doubt i can get into council like that, but just hope for the best lah.

Went back to collect my laptop, debrief. Yudong and Kenneth goh decided to dance the batch dance suddenly and we ended up on 6th floor outside the lifts and they started to do the batch dance. LOL couldnt get a vid cos my phone was blasting the music. damn

Cos we all damn high and crazy, HIGH = shamelessness
we just kope empty classroom, set up laptop, started dancing to hare hare yukai also xD

Lucky 6th floor no one hehe

Jap club is so fun!!!

But if get into council must drop -.- shitzzzz

Oh well, cost-benefit analysis = council is better lah

but i will definitely miss the fun and craziness of jap club.

Pissing

2009-03-09T21:52:00.001+08:00

Hmph today was just too shitty to post about.

Camp

2009-03-08T23:09:00.002+08:00

Camp was summed up in 1 word - SLACK.

Okay. Maybe im too used to UG camps.

Another problem was the number of people in our group.

We started off as a group of 8 people. Mark went off for dramafeste and someone went to see a senior.

Count: 6

Watched Ratatouille at night. DF ppl came back. We had a group debrief at night, only to find...

Count: 4

In the end, debrief session turned into gossip session abt bryan tsui -.- We even ordered Macs Delivery for supper. Walked around the sch with Mark and Samuel and found a lot of shady and pretty interesting spots in RJ for shady activities. Slept from 2+ to 6. Woke up to some one's stupid alarm and couldnt sleep. Ended up listening to my phone till 7+. Breakfast.

Count: 4

Gathered in LT where the exco made an last ditch attempt to uphold camp rules that we had to devote 60% to education and 40% to fun. So had a proposal presentation to present ideas that could be used in the club. Apparently, 4 ppl from DF turned up last night and we dint noe abt them.

Count: 8

Presented our 5 Fantastic Ideas, one including a mass muggin session for P6 kids. I liked that one pretty much >< Samuel went home after this.

Count: 7

Last activity of the day was station games. Played Dog n Bone, Mark bashed his head while gettin the bone. Ouch. Then came captain's ball. Was quite fun, cos gt a nice number of ppl and a big space. At least no one got bashed in the head. Though it was FREAKING HOT. At the end of captain' ball came mass pon. Suddenly 4 ppl gtg. -.-

Count: 3

Okay, it was actually like me and mark only cos the other girl was injured and she only came last night. Last game of the day was the super lame lao ying zuo xiao ji (eagle catch chick). Baw was the at the front of the line and he looked damn funny, i stopped to laugh. Okay, it was toooooo unfair for them, cos im supposed to have a line behind me too so that im like handicapped. So in the end, the eagle was naturally too fast, 1 person vs a line of 6 ppl, obviously, the 1 person had more mobility.

Count: 3

End of camp, mass debrief. Big surprise. Our group actually won the best group award thingy cos we did quite well for war games (must be samuel, i dint find anything -.-) and we kinda played well in the last few games. Wow.

So in the end, we wanted to share the prizes, which was bags of food, but everyone was just like ughh, i wanna go home. So me and mark ended up with all the food.

The seniors ended the camp with 'You all should go eat lunch with ur group' and me and mark were like ...-.-''' In the end, went with Ben's Group, which surprisingly thinned out to 2 ppl also.

TYC@ BL camp is soo soo soo slack. Apart from that, i dint get much from it, I forgot like all the names , COS THEY JUST KEEP LEAVING -.- You kinda cant rmb ppl who come and go...

Ah well... Im looking ahead for this week..

LAST WEEK OF SCH! YEAH!!!!
Lets blast through it !!!!!!

Hotmail

2009-03-04T22:32:00.000+08:00

Once again, Hotmail crashes when i nid to send something.

Crappy day

2009-03-03T21:24:00.002+08:00

Day 5 of lousy throat... My throat is still feeling damn crap. Its not like a sore throat, more like an abrasion in my throat. I can talk normally but its damn pain when my throat drys up.

Decided to take 157 home and see how long does it take.

It would actually take slightly longer than my 156 route, but today it took 2 damn hours. LRT actually screwed up and i got stuck at the station for 20 minutes before they fixed it.

zzzz

Cheering up: Physics car ran the sprint in 1.3secs ^_^ yay

Checked out my interview slot - its at 5 on nxt wed. Nice timing.

Found this awesome story on facebook. Just had to copy it ^^

NOT DONE BY ME OKAYYY IM NT THAT PRO

~~~Polygon of Womanly Virtue~~~

Wherein it is related how that Polygon of Womanly Virtue, young Polly Nomial (our heroine) is accosted by that Notorious Villian Curly PI, and factored (oh horrors!).

Once upon a time (1/T) Pretty Polly Nomial was strolling across a field of vectors when she came to the boundary of a singularly large matrix. Now Polly was convergent and her mother had made it an absolute condition that she never enter such an array without her brackets on. Polly, however, who had changed her variables that morning and was feeling particularly badly behaved, ignored this condition on the basis that it was insufficient, and made her way amongst the complex elements. Rows and columns closed in from all sides. Tangents approached her surface. She became tensor and tensor. Quite suddenly, two branches of a hyperbola touched her at a single point. She oscillated violently, lost all sense of directrix, and went completely divergent. As she reached a turning point, she tripped over a square root that was protruding from the erf and plunged headlong down a steep gradient. When she rounded off once more, she found herself inverted, apparently alone, in a non-euclidean space.

She was being watched, however. That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was lurking innerproduct. As his eyes devoured her curvilinear coordinates, a singular expression crossed his face. He wondered, was she still convergent? He decided to integrate improperly at once.

Hearing a common fraction behind her, Polly rotated and saw Curly Pi approaching with his power series extrapolated. She could see at once by his degenerate conic and dissipative terms that he was bent on no good.

"Arcsinh!" she gasped..

"Ho, Ho," he said. "What a symmetric little asymptote you have. I can see your angles have lots of secs."

"Oh, Sir," she protested, "keep away from me. I haven't got my brackets on."

"Calm yourself, my dear," said our suave operator. "Your fears are purely imaginary."

"i, i," she thought. "Perhaps he's not normal, but homologous."

"What order are you?" the brute demanded.

"Seventeen," replied Polly.

Curly leered, "I suppose you've never been operated on."

"Of course not," Polly replied quite properly, "I'm absolutely convergent!"

"Come, come," said Curly. "Let's off to a decimal place I know and I'll take you to the limit."

"Never!" gasped Polly.

"Abscissa!!!" he swore, using the vilest oath he knew. His patience was gone. Coshing her over the coefficient with a natural log until she was powerless, Curly removed her discontinuities. He stared at her significant places, and began smoothing out her points of inflection. Poor Polly. The algoritmic method was now her only hope. She felt his hand tending toward her asymptotic limit. Her convergence would soon be gone forever.

There was no mercy, for Curly was a heavyside operator. Curly's radius squared itself; Polly's locii quivered. He integrated her by parts. He integrated her by fractions. After he cofactored, he performed Runge-Cutta on her. The complex beast even went all the way around and did a contour integration. Curly went on operating until he had satisfied her hypothesis. Then, he exponentiated and became completely orthogonal.

When Polly got home that night, her mother noticed that she was no longer piecewise continuous, but had been truncated in several places. But, it was too late to differentiate now. As the months went by, Polly's denominator increased monotonically. Finally, she went to L'Hopital and generated a small but pathological function which left surds all over the place and drove Polly to deviation.

The moral of the sad story is this:

"If you want to keep your expressions convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom."

haha.

Did this happen to you?

Winter Melon Tea

2009-02-27T22:02:00.002+08:00

Drank like 3 cans of winter melon tea today. haha

Cant help but get addicted to it hehe. I bet im the only one in school who buys it on a regular basis.

I love indulging in my passions and favs. haha

Feels like u will nvr get tired of them. They cheer u up every time. And you actually wan to put in effort.

PASSIONS
Physics
Econs
Writing stories
Anime
Stretching
Sleeping

Okay.

ALP was damn cool today. Saw the stuff they did during the camp. Looks damn FUN! camping is always fun! especially this time when you dun have stupid idiot camp instructors to dictate you every min. You actually have much freedom to decide! I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wan to go!

Of course, the overall supervisor was some damn cool guy who is a damn nice guy. Not like a certain pissing econs teacher who just pisses everyone in the LT off. Styles of teaching completely different, and you can see the obvious difference when they try to get ppl to keep quiet. Econs teacher simply pisses everyone off and gets her silence through threats while ALP guy just gets everyone quiet by waiting patiently. The slient atmosphere is completely different.

Okay im going too overboard with ALP. ARhghghghg

O.o

2009-02-26T21:19:00.003+08:00

I started this blogpost once again with something in mind...

To lose it when i deviated from this space while its loading onto mousehunt...

Oh yes... i rmb now...

Started today with a damn sleepy tone. Totally couldnt wake up the mugger within me. I actually wanted to sleep all the way through but i resisted. haha. Went home early to sleep instead ><

AND

Im nt feeling emo, sad, angry or anything.

haha

Im totally in mugger mood now, but i dun feel like doing any writing.

Liquidity trap is quite interesting, apparently it was proposed when it was happening in the US, but afterwards, ppl thought that it shouldnt apply to that situation. So its kinda like a theory now cos gt no real examples yet. Closest was Japan in the 1990s.

I love econs now! haha

Dreary

2009-02-25T20:46:00.002+08:00

What a dreary day...A storm...passing sheets of rain...puddles...slipping...

Day ended on a dreary note.

Other than nearly getting squashed by closing LRT doors and nearly gettin knocked down by a motorcycle (2 cm sia), this was a dreary day.

Watch the rain fall, watch it touch the surface, watch it disappear, all washed out...

Maybe i was just too naive. Maybe i just believed it. Maybe it was too real, too painful. Maybe im just dumb.

Tidy

2009-02-24T21:59:00.002+08:00

Finished my personality test today.

Got Owl(18), Peacock(16), Eagle(13) and Dove(11) in this order.

Oh yeah, i knew i was always an owl all along, loving details and all the logic and analytical stuff.

And saigang. yeah. I kinda liked compiling data charts during SMP in sec 3. haha

Realised after so many years, i yearn for one thing - become treasurer. LOL

I had never became a treasurer b4, dunno y, but i kinda yearn to be one now cos i wanna just try all sorts of tasks and see how fun/well i can perform.

oh well, main part of this post isnt abt my personality.

I gotta run my organising system properly and its still in beta right now >< still testing out and i nid to make a list. Where better than here ^^

BAG: No Organisation
Y do i even nid to organise my bag? I dun even touch it at home. Standard stuff like bottle, stationary, GC are all inside and needed everyday. No change is required. Thus no need organisation.

FILE: Folder system (drag and drop)
Love this system worxxx!!! Finally a system which i actually like and favour. A big file with foolscap sheets containing seperate smaller files inside. Each smaller file is one subject. Efficient and lightweight. Look at the next day's timetable and 'drag and drop' the appropriate subjects into the big folder. TADA! saving space and making your notes tidy. Mmm. Love it. My best organisation system in 5 years. haha

STORAGE: D-ring shelve
The standard system of one D ring file at home for each subject. Been doing this for the past 4 years anyway. Just file up anything taught finished and leave it to rot till exams. Prob is when can i have time to do this.

HOMEWORK: System within folder
Within each small folder is 2 / more pockets (unconfirmed yet, may need to buy new files) 1 pocket should be assigned to homework. Unlike previous system of stuffin all homework under one big pocket and doing it, this system greatly tidies up my file but makes homework kinda untrackable. means have to check each file seperately for homework. Waste time. But still its gd enough bah....

JOURNALS: Crap
Havnt bought any exercise books yet but i should be using a few by midyear. So will need a organiser (im still using my brain to rmb stuff for now) and a PW journal and maybe 2 for notes. thats abt 3 to buy. Haiz

MONEY: Even more crap
I gave up organising my money. Last time i tried, it was damn waste of time. Havin to write down every expenditure is stupid and troublesome. Just spend and see how to survive till end of month lah.

Wahh, still need a few things more to settle, my overall file (whether it will burst), journals, see how can i manage a simple system for my wallet, etc.

AND EVENTS! wahh i hate using organisers, so mah fun. Nid something easier than that to keep track of events. Currently i use my friends xP

Oh well, also nid a anime tracker xD I forgot where i watch till like ><

Lazy pig

2009-02-22T21:45:00.003+08:00

Yeah im lazy to continue...

Some random updates...

1. Changed blog song to Last Cross, hitman reborn OP5. Its a nice song. I set it to no auto play so it wont blast anyone's speakers when u visit my blog.

2. finally finished changin my profile page.

3. Realized life now consists of: study, use com, sleep.

4. I cant think of a reason to join Council other than: a. its fun b. It takes up free time, which i have a lot c. it sounds pro.

5. Realized i cant really like non anime jap songs cos anime songs invoke a nice fuzzy feeling + bring back all the memories which u enjoy together with the song. non anime jap songs lack that feel.

6. Stuffing myself with dried guava slices, dried longan, red dates and cuttlefish. Since they are all healthier than normal sweets, my mum dont mind me eating too much. Just finished like 500grams of guava ^^

okay im tired. IM GOING TO WATCH ANIME. (wonder how many times i ended a post with this sentence)

Essence of TIME

2009-02-22T16:26:00.002+08:00

No im nt talking about the magezine...though they DO send emails with the same title...

Time flies. Really.

1st post of this blog was dated 21st Feb 07.

Its been 2 years since the 1st post of this year.

Oh dear. What a long time ago...

I cant believe how long i manage to maintain this blog without much privacy and time.

230+ posts since the start. Thats about 1 post every... 4 days or so???

I started this blog cos of like... Eng newspaper article blog -.-

started at the same time cos it was easy and quick to maintain both blogs together. Just anyhow type on eng blog, then switch to this blog and actually type something worth reading. haha

Well, time flies. (once again) I thought about stupid things.

Like how people pay money to listen to talks abt money so to get more money.

But hey, you are wasting time reading my blog abt how time flies and you are definitely nt getting any time back.

Sooo, lets talk more about time(since i already started on it).

Fundamentals of TIME

1.Time moves in only one direction - forward
An obvious statement, but hey, as a science student, stating the obvious and patenting is the norm. Look how Newton got famous. By stating the obvious.
Time only moves forward. Not back, not sideways, but only forward. No one screws with Time.
Tick tock tick tock.

2. Time brings regrets
Okay, this is my opinion now. Time sucks your memories and brings them forward. It sucks your decisions and brings them forward. It sucks everything that sucks and brings them forward. Your mind has a way of remembering stupid stuff u did and forgetting the gd parts. And when its finally over, Time introduces new regrets into your life.

3. Time cannot be calculated.
During economics, we learn that the government puts a monetary value on EVERYTHING. including you, your family and everything else. Translating the intangible into stuff people's minds can handle. Time, on the other hand, cannot be counted. Why? Cos Time ticks away at a speed relative to you. 1 second now is not the same as 1 second tmr. Every second is unique, intangible and different. There is no way we can count time. Stupid examples of counting time include lecturers complaing about wasting time scolding and telling us that we are wasting 5 * number of ppl's time. Totally not true. Thats like saying you can increase the amount of time on Earth by giving birth. Wow. Time is too intangible for some lecturers, i suppose.

4. Shit i just ran out of computer usage time
Apparently, my mom decided i use the com too much (like NO) and decided that i should off it so i can use the com tonight instead.
Well, this is an example of time as a tangible means, cos here, time roughly translates into electricity too (at least for her) so every hour i use means a few cents of electricity. ><

Ah well, maybe next time. (i would probably have forgotten the chain of thought)

Shogi

2009-02-19T22:07:00.002+08:00

YAY HH 2nd for SHOGI!!!

It was fun!

and kinda amusing cos no one knew how to play!

so everyone was like on the same level, cep the chess players who are somewat slight advantaged.

Round 1: Drew with some MT guy. I was damn defensive cos like dunno how to play and he also. So no one attacked much. -.-

Round 2: Won jerome cos he made a fatal error and i jumped on it.

Round 3 and 4: Totally pwned 2 girls who dint noe how to play at all. One had never touched any kind of chess b4 so like she anyhow play.

MR like changed team every round, so every round they have new players who dunno how to play shogi and get pwned every round.

So in the end, won 10 out of possible 12 points, total for HH was 4 points behind MT ><

Damn im so low on sugar now, my head hurts when i try to think...

Once again

2009-02-18T22:23:00.002+08:00

Once again, i stare into another dead blog as the author moved on to another address...

Okay i hate wednesdays.

Like my timetable on wed.

First 2 hrs of chem prac.

Followed by another 1 hour of boring chem lecture.

Climb up to 5th floor for Physics tutorial.

Last lesson is physics lecture at lt2.

Finish up sleeping during assembly.

5 hours of science NONSTOP.

Stupid timetable.

Anyway, although we dint arrange for anything this afternoon due to CCA, we kinda met up at ard 4 to go buy present for a girl. aka Junliang's sister.

ran around J8 trying to find a present, but we couldnt.

Why? cos 3 RI boys with no experience in buying presents cannot think of anything nice for a girl. -.-

Arghh council elections around the corner with nominations!

Im still debating on it in my dreams...

Vday

2009-02-14T23:33:00.002+08:00

Well, Happy V day (or wats left of it at time of post) to all.

V day wasn't much this year cept dragonica released its CBT client. Pretty fun to play, i look forward to a more stable server during OBT. Other than that, listening to clock ticking away was an agony.

Thanks to all HH05 girls who made cards for us HH05 boys. It was well made ^^

Finally wrote a story. Heres it to fill the rest of the boring post.

~~~Circular Hearts~~~

It wasn’t a circle at all.

His gnarled hands moved the duster over, erasing the shapes on the small whiteboard he has on his lap. The marker moved once again, starting from the top. He moved it down slowly, a curved line emerging along the trail. He stopped at the bottom of the board for a while, inspecting the purple line that his marker just made. Sastisfied, he inched his hands upwards, completing the shape.

An oval with two pointy edges was drawn on the board. Not a circle. He jerked his hands up in frustration, the marker flying out of his grip. Someone started bawling out loud, surprised at the flying marker that just hit him.

‘Now, now. Stop throwing things, Brandon.’ A nurse came over and handed him back his marker. He pouted. ‘Not circle!’ He complained, his finger pointing discriminately at the oval. The nurse sighed. Another tantrum. It was the sixth time today that Brandon gave up on his circle. Taking the marker, she drew a circle neatly in the middle of the whiteboard. ‘There, it’s a circle! Now, stay quiet while I go get your medication.’ She got up and went out quietly.

Brandon stared at the circle the nurse drew. It was a perfect circle, a polygon without any edges. His hands hovered along the lines of the circle, his eyes staring across the room. She was sitting there at the end of the room, staring into the blank white walls unblinking. He looked down at the whiteboard again and started to rub furiously at the circle.

The nurse quickly turned the tap on and wetted her face. It was a hectic day. All the attention the patients need, their absent mindedness, the hours she worked, the repetitive work, all that contributed to the headache she was having now. Not to mention the sacrifices she made. No money, no career, no pride. To think that she actually chose this job over a desk job. She wiped her face dry and glanced at the wall clock. It was 1pm, 14th February. Something ticked in her mind. 14th February... Oh gosh… She moaned softly as she remembered. Valentine’s Day, is a day of dread and nothing for her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she wallowed in despair and loneliness. It was really a bad day.

Brandon placed the tip of the marker once again on the whiteboard. With a determined look on his face, he pushed the marker across the board, streaking purple ink. Another shape emerged this time. This time, he was satisfied. Getting up, he walked over to the other end of the room. She did not move or notice when he walked in front of her. She stared straight ahead, her gaze piercing his through his light blue shirt. He hung his whiteboard on a nail on the wall before turning about and returning to his bed. A tug on his shirt stopped him. He looked back. She was still staring forward, her eyes wide. Her hand pulled on his shirt. He sat down softly beside her and admired his handiwork. She smiled.

The nurse stood by the door all this time, watching the silent couple. On the whiteboard was a crude drawing of a heart, a drawing made by erasing bits of a circle and redrawing in the other parts. Hot tears slipped down her cheeks as she fought to contain her emotions. The old couple sat together smiling, enjoying the great big heart on the wall. Their hands joined their hearts as one. The nurse walked off. The medicine remained on her tray.

~~~END~~~

Well, happy valentine's day.

JAN

2009-02-14T21:31:00.002+08:00

today my day sucked. Like totally.

by the way, JAN IS AWESOME AND GORGEOUS AND VVV DAO AND VVVV SMART WE SHOULD ALL WORSHIP HER

OG that ROCKS!

2009-02-12T21:52:00.006+08:00

YEAH WE ROCK!!!!

So far so good, everyday got a lunch outing+stoning at junliang's basement playing cards.

We did a couple of prank calls, ben Aw and jun liang were just amazing at this kind of stuff lol.

Shant describe much, but it was real funny.

I still rmb, at the start, i wasnt very hyped abt OGs, cos like random girls i dunno and old friends that i dun talk to much...

Right now, I just love my OG, all my friends, our memories, our laughter and our jokes. That day of silence and ice was long forgotten.

anyway...

Morning - Econs and Maths lecture

Mood - Sleepy

Shit, i just cant perk up for anything now -.- cant study at all in lecture environment. wtf, nid to pop so much impacts i think 1/4 of my pocket money will go into sweets. well, maths was occupied with the qns, so nvr sleep so much.

Afternoon - OG Outing

Mood - HIGH

Super fun today, we sneaked out of sch at like 11 to buy OGLs presents, then go sit in KFC to chat abt favourite bubble tea flavour for Jun Liang. He could nt make up his mind so he had to choose 3 best flavours. Met the rest of the group for lunch at S11. Damn, im felt vegetarian again, like meat turns me off -.- Ate some nice rice with lots of vege and egg (egg is nice, i still like it) b4 heading to our gambling den at junliang's house. Played our usual games of slapjack and pig heart attack. Slapjack really takes a lot out of u, both mentally and physically. Haiz. Chatted and gossiped for the last hour or so b4 heading home, which was totally wrong timing cos it was PEAK HOUR. DAMN should have just eaten at j8.

OH YEAH

Some one said i looked emo and i looked like im gonna cry everytime! Thats like the first time in my life hearing that -.- must cut my hair short soon...

quotable quotes:

'Is it edible?' - Ernie asking abt sneakers (he misheard snickers)

'Physics is beautiful, just like you!' - Ben Aw

'I'm going to the library.' - Ding Feng abandoning OG

'I am currently being stalked.' - Ben Aw

'Are you cute?' - Victim

'Do you know any nice Indian girls?' - Rama

A list on School

2009-02-10T20:28:00.002+08:00

Im just gonna start listing stuff cos i cant order my thoughts well like Ben Aw. I just cant plan a blogpost.

1. Assembly was CHAOTIC. Like 'Wheres my class?' and 'Are you in my class?' were heard all over the parade square as poor J1s tried to find just where to stand on the parade square that has no markings at all. The vice principal apparently gt pissed off and just shouted at us to stop and sing the anthem first b4 finding our classes.

2. Class was SUPER BORING. I nearly slpt at chem lecture but managed to stay awake by popping Impact mints. Haiz. Science teachers nvr have the talent to make their classes interesting (exception being Mark Wee and TWS) The Chem teacher was tryin to show us why it was smart to take chem, and i was certainly nt impressed by anything he said. Lit and History did a much better job. While Chem was just plain slack and boring, Maths jumped right into action with the first topic on permutations and combinations. Well, the part with pokemon certainly raised my spirits a little, but else, it was all the same. Drone drone drone...

3. Heard that a lot of ppl were trying to change classes due to LOUSY CLASSMATES. -.- Im like... Just get on with life. Im just gonna try and stick on as best as i can for these 2 years, and hope i get some nice friends.

4. Damn, i forgot wat im gonna type for this -.- See, this is why i cant plan a blogpost out. I will only forget it while im typing it out. Now let me think...

5. Oh yeah, i received quite a few complains abt my blogskin being too plain/unattractive/boring/weird, etc. Well, bear with it. I love my blogskin. (maybe cos i spent so much time making it yeah) Will probably change it if i can find another one.

6. Today's OG lunch started off with like half the OG only cos the other half had Chem. Walked out to the road junction between RI and J8 only to get a call from Wei Xian and OOPS we forgot her >< And we nearly forgot her when we were leaving KFC cos she was sitting with her friends ><

7. Ding Feng is REALLY surprising. He found us at KFC, sat around for a few minutes before going to Popular. Then he came back to pick up his bag and left for sch library. like -.-'''

8. Were walking to Jun Liang's house when we saw another OG walking down the road on the RI side. Cos it was a HH OG, we started waving to all the friends there like Tim, Te Xuan, De Sheng, Joel, ... Wait... Isnt Joel in OUR OG??? OOPS ANOTHER PERSON I FORGOT ><

Ack, thats all for today, i gotta start on another inspiration i got for IHC writing comp >< Dunno how i will turn out, nvr written in that style b4...

Class is out

2009-02-09T22:48:00.001+08:00

Got into 6J.

Still like my OG better than my class.

I keep asking, why make OGs in the first place when u can use classes ><

OG bonding was too effective man, make me feel sad.

O'Terio

2009-02-08T00:23:00.005+08:00

Things i rmb from O'Terio: In no particular order

1.Oreos (we had a lot)

2.OG Dinners (real fun and filling)

3.Batch Dance ( Lollipop ^^)

4. Sun Dance (LALALALALALALA)

5.Girls (well, after 4 years of boys, its nt a big wonder why)

6.Storyline!!! (You must say it in a gay voice to sound nice)

7. Who wat huh and assorted games (our OG loved them)

8. Forfeits (fun, amusing and totally embarassing. Who can forget them?)

9. Heart Attack (LOL)

10. OG mates and OGLs (definitely must rmb them)

Orientation is ending :(

2009-02-05T22:14:00.003+08:00

Its nearly the end of Orientation... Gonna start sch soon x(

Its been a fun week with OG ^^

My OG was kinda slack, just stroll stroll all the way, nt that hoing, but still enthu enough, a gd mix of enthuness and fun ^^ Sets a great pace for us all

External activity was like >< we dint run at all! haha but we had fun playing lame stupid games like open close, those kind of mind screw games where its based on stupidity to get the answer -.-

War games was like both fun and horrible. First game was the chopsticks game, like 200 boy girl pairs in a big field running abt. I thought it was chaotic enough. Got taken out midway cos of injury, but in hindsight, it gave me stamina and energy to go super high in second game. Second game was the best game and the most fun, tower rush. A simple game of police and thief, where the defenders can only move along a line and the attackers are supposed to get past 4 lines of defenders. A great game, fun and injury proof, and i was like super high, bouncing around (srsly bouncing, i was too crazy, just kept jumping lol) got past like 10+ times and we won this game ^^
I hate the last game. Its a poorly designed game. Basically, girls run around stripping pegs off backs of the boys while they run like crazy. In the end, girls start aggroing all the boys and u see the number of injurys jump to double digits instantly. Damn it, i was so scared of respawning -.- When u look down from upstairs, boys were like fish food dropped into a pool of sharks. Its crazy how RJ can turn gentle girls into carnivores.

Today was like so slack, just dance all the way. Finally finished the batch dance yay.

I WANNA LEARN THE SUN DANCE. SO FUN AND COOL! like lucky star dance lol (and maybe haruhi too)

RJC bonding activites are definitely better and much more fun!

U dun get to have dinners with ur groups during secondary school.

It was called lunch.

But eating with mixed group was definitely better than all boys group ><

COMPARISON

LAST TIME: Topic of the day during lunch was WHICH ESTER SMELLED LIKE VANILLA -.-

NOW: Anything under the sun

RI boys have a tendency to lean towards academic talk which is totally fun when u have the proper friends but totally weird when u have absolutely nthing else to talk abt cept that -.-

Ahhh, gt to sleep. zzzzz

2009-02-02T22:22:00.002+08:00

Dint realised i actually gt time to write this, but this is just a starting part, nthing interesting, later would be more interesting, provided my english standard allows me to describe all the scenes i have in mind ><

The radar stirred, an area of red flashing on the screen. A beep alerted him to the abnormality. He flew across the room on his roller chair, breaking his momentum just at the right time using his right hand to swivel around and tuck himself neatly in front of the desk. His widened eyes watched the moving patches of red on the screen, his hand reaching out for the much needed cup of coffee. He tore his eyes away just to take a gulp of the cold coffee, before returning to watch the screen. His fingers gripped the weapon in his lap, his index finger tapping at the cold steel. It was a short while before he decided to extract himself from the chair.

Zipping up his jacket, he headed out of the office with his weapon in hand.
The cold night stung his face but he did not flinch a bit. His mind was too preoccupied with the abnormality. Only few people could cause such a phenomenon, and he knew one of them. In fact, he knew her very well. And he got a feeling he is going to see her soon.

The darkness rippled. The dark wings spread in the air without a sound, slowly unfolding. The air trembled as the wings readied themselves for launch. He pushed off with one powerful swoop, spiraling into the air. The purple night sky covered his tracks, his silhouette invisible as he headed towards the temperature abnormality.

2009-02-02T20:12:00.003+08:00

Me love Orientation!!!

Other than the fact that i couldnt sleep on the night b4 orientation, it was so fun and great!

Get to meet new friends, catch up with old friends, get to know the campus, etc...

Great fun ^^

2009-01-23T22:26:00.001+08:00

Why do those events escape my mind when i finally sit down to blog?

zzz...

Seq 15

2009-01-21T21:57:00.002+08:00

Andrew was still nursing that sore on his head as they set out in a tiny car borrowed from the Order. Gavel was squashed up at the wheel while Madeline slept on the other front seat. Lia was happily bouncing away on her cushion she brought along while Andrew was stuck behind Gavel’s seat that was pushed back so far, Andrew was having a hard time breathing. Not to mention the smoke from his cigarette.

It’s been quite a few days since I reached here, Andrew thought, staring at the blur of green outside. The setting sun made an effort to color sky red, mixing with the blue sky to create shades of purple that glowed in the darkening sky. How similar this world is to mine, Andrew mused. From the cars to the houses, even the classrooms are nearly the same. The technology level is surprisingly high for a magical society.

As usual, you have not been paying much attention in class.

Shut up, Zeon, what do you know? Andrew retaliated in his mind.

Well, for a start, this technology was stolen from your world. To be precise, people form this world observed your world and copied it. Magic has many uses, but technology is still the best to serve both man and demon. Thus, many labs across the world are specially set up to peek at your world and recreate the advances in technology here.

Peeking at my world, huh… Andrew wondered. How were things going on in his world? When he left, it was in the middle of a political crisis. With the spread of nuclear weapons, many countries turned rogue and demanded power and resources, carving out large chunks of other countries without nuclear. The United Nations was in a mess, with power seized from G7 and spread among the rogue countries. The world was on the brink of a nuclear war.

He sighed. Well, it doesn’t concern him anymore. Now that he is in this new world. He brought up the memory of his first contact of this world. A sweeping wing… and a girl…

The car drove on through the night, its occupants all asleep, dreaming of the beautiful day that is to come.

wallet

2009-01-20T22:36:00.002+08:00

Got a new wallet cos my mom keeps complaining that my old wallet thats with me since p6 is old, stinky and flattened. And she complains abt the chain. I have been using a chain with my wallet since p1 so i dun mind it.
Dun really notice it but it really helps when u nid to pull it out of your wallet. Like pull the chain and the wallet comes out, so easy.
My mom thinks it looks childish, stupid and weird on a JC student ><

So she went out today and bought one without informing me, dumped it on me and asked me to change.

Watever.

I dun really mind changing or not changing at all, since my wallet is still usable and i dun give a heck abt whether the chain makes me look weird/childish/stupid. Like i give a heck abt most of my appearance.

This is a random post ~ My posts hit over 210+ liao

List

2009-01-20T15:13:00.002+08:00

Well this is supposed to be a blog, nt a storybook...

so...

wats there to blog?

school is boring

nthing interesting has happened...

Oh well, lets make a to do list ~.~

Things to do:

1. Buy School U
2. Buy PE (apparently they dun sell PE where they sell sch u -.-)
3. Write more, more and more
4. Finish up YDSP poster

Just bought my graphic calculator today. Looks pretty fun to play, but im nt touching it until the session they teach you how to use it.

Or else it would be a boring session and a waste of time...

Chpt 14

2009-01-16T14:42:00.001+08:00

next part:

Andrew jumped at the sound of the scream, a piercing scream that tore away his eardrums. His heart jumped in fear. What was going on? He hammered the door, wishing furiously for an answer. All that came back was silence.

Mist seeped out from the gap below the door, tickling his ankles. The icy cold touch froze his blood in his legs. He stepped away from the door, staring at the flowing clouds of coldness.

She is using her power. From what I see, by removing heat from the hot mist rapidly, she managed to form mists of ice instead. That would require a lot of power and concentration… Why would she do this?

Andrew rattled the doorknob, a slim hope. Furious at his situation, he brought his fist down on the doorknob; sparks flew as he winced in pain.
The lock clicked.

Andrew gaped in surprise as the door swung back, flattening his nose in the process. Madeline slumped onto the floor, ice crystals sprinkling all over. Andrew howled in pain as he clutched his nose. As he turned, he slipped on the watery floor, his head hitting the floor with a very solid thud. Both of them laid on each other on the cold floor, unconscious.

Time jumped right out of the window.

School

2009-01-15T22:00:00.000+08:00

School wasnt as good as i hoped.

so boring.

WAhhhh

2009-01-14T22:32:00.002+08:00

Signs of a dying com:

1. You lag with only Firefox (3 tabs) and messenger
2. You cant watch anime without closing every other application.
3. Better quality anime lets you listen in to the sounds 5 mins before displaying the picture
4. Emoticons lags you.
5. You resort to prioritizing the process to real time and it doesnt work (plus it lags your com even more)
6. Rendering Excel charts of 32k datapoints crashes Excel itself -.-
7. mouse doesnt work nicely on mousepad.
8. Hard to find support for my graphics card

9. You lag as you type this post

Time to move on...

Tired

2009-01-14T18:12:00.002+08:00

If someone came and shared their joy with you,

would you ruin it by showing that you knew it already,

Or relive the joy as a new experience?

Im damn tired after open house. So many damn choices, so little time...
i hate choices...especially when you dun really want to choose...

Obsessed

2009-01-09T21:56:00.001+08:00

I rather like the album Heavy Starry Chain by tommy Heavenly6 ^^ been listening to it all day

Lets continue..... Its been ssooooo longggg

Water dripped.

A tiny splash.

'Hello? Madeline?' Andrew shouted.

There was no reply.

Andrew stared at the door, as though trying to see through it. What’s wrong? Why isn’t she replying?

Beats me. Go ask her yourself.

Andrew got up and shuffled up to the door. Knocking softly, he whispered, ‘Madeline?’
On the other side of the door, Madeline pulled the towel off the rack. Her shoulders shivered as she clumsily wrapped it around her. She laid against the door, murmuring slowly to herself. A knock came on the wooden door, the heavy sound ringing in her ears. She jerked her head up, her wet hair flung back, leaving wet streaks on the door. Her eyes widen, her mouth moving, murmuring the same line all along.

‘No, not him… No, not him… No, not him…’ Her hands gripped tightly on the bath towel, both hands trembling. ‘NO! NOT Derick!’ A wail sounded from her mouth as she collapsed onto the floor, sobbing quietly. The back of her hand shone an aqua light, her arm shimmered with ice crystals as she lie there, unaware of everything except her thoughts.

Back after a long break in bintan

Bintan is DAMN EXPENSIVE

DUN GO ><><><

like waste a lot of money, do something that can be done in singapore -.-

Spent the 3 days playing polo in the swimming pool and Wii.

It was off peak so the resort was like semi deserted, was like private pool, private garden, etc. Damn nice and relaxing.

Our group consisted of a few friends from Sec 1 and 2 class and our sec1 form teacher, Mr Paul Lim ->Former prefect master and physics teacher in RI

Had a great time playing his Wii, screwed around with Raving Rabbids, fought over SSBB and sweated out on WiiSports (some ppl really took it to the extreme)

No photos (im that lazy and anti camera)

Now im damn tired (from staying up and playing cards), sunburnt(too much swimming) and my arms hurt(too much Wii)

OFF

2009-01-03T20:54:00.002+08:00

Going off for a class gathering for 3 days in bintan lalala~

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hadnt had much time to blog, been watching loads of hitman, finally caught up to future arc.

Its kinda cool, cept its also like super overpowered, the jump in power lvl was too great.

All stories normally end when power lvl reaches the max, or the story continues and sucks like shit (eg dragonball)

So the power jump in hitman is quite disappointing. means either the series gonna end, or its gonna suck cos everyone will be damn overpowered and blow each other up, or the author is so damn creative as to reset the entire thing and bring everyone back to lvl 1.

zzz.

lalala~

Its christmas eve!

and here i am sitting in NUS trying to finish up collecting data so that i can write the report and hand it up to YDSP.

><

No writing today, im too damn tired after the smh.

Its kinda weird in Singapore, since we celebrate all sorts of festivals, we don't it to the extreme.

Look at China, Chinese New year is 1 week long.

Look at America, Christmas is 1 week long.

Look at Singapore, everything is 1/2 days long.

To me, the biggest holiday would be chinese new year, cos its kinda of a big event, isnt it.

Its the only time where i see my entire family (the whole family tree, nt just those i live with)

And Christmas in Singapore is just too wet >< It can nvr snow, just rain all day...

Drizzle drizzle...

Back to work.

time

2008-12-23T10:15:00.003+08:00

Ahh, finally made time to type out something...

Been spending my time in PP running big baskets of fruits for money.

Dec is ending, its been fast ><

Sch's gonna start!!!!!

and my report is due!

NVM.

Lets just start moving on the story...

Andrew read through the report, his eyes whizzing down the page. They were going first to Teleserum before heading to the far outreaches of the country. Their main objective was to pick up 2 members of their team, Hector and Alessia.

Hector and Alessia. I wonder how they look like? Andrew glanced around at the photos. One billion faces grinned back at him. He gave up.

How can I find their faces among all these?

Ask her, dumb dumb.

Good point. Andrew shouted out, 'Madeline, you got a photo of Hector and Alessia?'

She shouted back over the sound of splashing water, 'Its by my table, the group photo that I took.'

Andrew swivelled and scanned the table. There was only 1 groupshot there. He looked closely. It was taken in the wilderness, among the trees and bushes. Madeline was in the center, sitting on a dirt mound with Lia on her lap.Behind her was Gavel with his cigar and a woman standing tall beside him.

That's Alessia.

She looked slightly over 40 with faint wrinkles showing at the edges of her face. Her short hair was sprinkled with white. Her hands were streaked with white scars,
evidence of the battles that she had fought.

Andrew shifted his focus back to the photo. There was a boy on each side of Madeline. Which one is Hector?

'Which one is Hector?' Andrew asked aloud.

'The one with blonde hair!' She replied.

The blonde haired guy was a typical rebel with semi long hair and a smirk on his face that cannot be wiped off. He looked...

Untrustable.

You think so? Andrew questioned back.

He didn't answer back. Andrew looked at the other guy beside Madeline. He was a cheery looking guy with a big smile.

'Who's the other guy in the photo?' Andrew asked.

There was no reply. The splashing sounds continued.

'Madeline? Who's the other guy?' Andrew tried again with a louder voice.

The water stopped. Silence filled the room.

'Hello? Madeline?' Andrew shouted.

There was no reply.

heck...

2008-12-18T11:35:00.002+08:00

Google refuses to let me view my own blog from NUS cos the request looks sneaky to them -.-

Still i can write...

Rush rush

2008-12-17T13:46:00.003+08:00

Christmas is coming!!!

So are the presents and the deadline. ><

Giving presents = money needed x|

Scrambling to earn enough PoE to cover all my costs.

Meanwhile i dunno how to continue the story ><><<><><

Another day...

2008-12-11T11:05:00.002+08:00

Another day at NUS, sitting and recording data.

Life's full of computer games now >< Play play play

Its too damn addictive

And when i take a break (like now), i feel like writing:

The door swung open, welcoming the two into the room. Madeline's house was no different from his, with similar furniture and rooms. What set apart their living areas were the personal stuff. And in Madeline's case, loads of photos. Photos were pasted everywhere possible, the walls, the cupboard, even on the TV where it was not a screen. One million faces smiled back at him as he inspected the ones closest to him.

'You do like pictures, don't you?' Andrew asked, looking at the ceiling filled with photos.

'Hehe, its my hobby. Its my way to preserve all my memories.' Madeline came out of her room holding a clipboard. 'Come on in, I will show you what to do before a mission.' She led Andrew into her bedroom.

Besides her bed, everything else was indistinguishable as faces scrambled to show themselves in the pictures. It was the same everywhere. She flopped onto her bed and studied the clipboard. 'Mmmm nice...' Madeline stretched, wriggling and making herself comfortable on her bed. Andrew stood by, staring at the amazing number of photos her managed to take.

'How long have you been here?' Andrew asked. 'You seem to have an awful lot of photos.'

'Ahh, about 10 years I guess.' Madeline replied, staring at the clipboard. 'Isn't it nice to have so many memories and not lose them at all?' She looked up. 'hey, sit down! Don't you feel tired at all?' She pulled him down. He sat down on the bed beside her lying form and took a peek.

'What's that you looking at?'

'Oh, its the mission brief. Yours is in your room. It basically lists what you have to do during this mission and information about the mission.' Madeline replied, still staring intently at the paper. Suddenly, she made a small whoop and rolled over, reaching out and hugged the nearest thing to her, which coincidentally was Andrew's leg.

What the heck? What was that reaction for? Andrew was taken by surprise.

'Yay, we get so much~ so much~ so much~' She hummed happily as she rolled around on her bed.

I guess its something written on the paper.

Andrew pulled the clipboard over and studied the text. He didn't notice anything unusual...Eh? What's that number? Andrew looked closely. 10,000 Crods. What is that?

Thats the currency used in this world. Crods. I see. No wonder she is so happy.

Why? Is 10000 Crods a lot?

Ask her yourself. I'm quite outdated with the finances of this world since I was dormant for quite a long time.

'Hey, is 10000 Cords a lot?' Andrew posed the question.

She laughed. 'A lot? Its so much! A meal just costs about 50 Crods a day and Charon is so stingy with money that you don't see this amount a lot of times. Even our monthly pay isn't that much!' She got off the bed and opened her wardrobe. 'Read the mission brief. If you don't know anything, you can ask.' She stepped into the bathroom. 'I'm taking a shower first, but just shout your questions, I still can answer.' The door closed.

Andrew was left with the mission brief.

Sniff

Whacked out

2008-12-03T13:39:00.002+08:00

Havnt been doing much the past few days, just go NUS, do stuff, play com, play psp, etc.

Life's slowly becoming a mindless routine...

Life outside the fort... Wonder what's its like...

'Well, I expect Vipers to be reporting to me in a few day's time. Your pass will be ready in 2 hours.'Charon turned and headed out of the hall.

His head poked back from the door frame. 'And yes, guide Andrew on his first assignment. I don't want to lose a new member on a peaceful outing.'

'Alright, Charon! I won't kill him! Right Lia?' Madeline replied cheerfully, excited at the prospect of going active again.

Lia pouted and looked away. Gavel just grunted, replacing his stub with a new cigar.

'Okay! Lets head back! Andrewww! Come with me!' Madeline jumped up, pushed off Lia who was hanging on and dragged Andrew out.

They stumbled together down the hallway, Madeline laughing loudly, bulldozing her way through the crowd.

Madeline stopped in front of a door, breathing hard. Andrew was purple, his heart pumping like mad.

What kind of stamina does Madeline have? Andrew held himself up at the wall, his legs on the verge of collapsing.

'You don't have to run THAT fast, you know.' Andrew spat the sentence out between his breaths.

'hehe, sorry... too excited!' Madeline panted out her reply.

'Whose room is this?' Andrew asked, staring at the door.

'Guess who!' She said as she inserted a key into the keyhole.

The lock clicked.

2008-12-01T10:48:00.002+08:00

Havnt been bloggin since its a weekend = went to Sitex, stone at home, play PP, watch anime

BUT NO BLOGGING

haha.

Changed the front page song to LAST TRAIN ~Atarashi Asa~ Hope you enjoy!

Alright, onto the next part:

The green snake in the globe stared back at him. Its emerald scales glittered in the articifical light emitting from the sphere. It arched its slender body, forming a tiny S with its neck. Its blood red tougue slipped in and out time to time, tasting the air for prey.

'I expect the Vipers to be joining this war, okay? I think Hector will like it very much. As for Alessia...Try your best to get her back, kay?' Charon said, turning to Andrew. 'You don't know about teams yet right?'

'Err, no.'

'Okay, a brief explanation. Teams are formed in groups of 6. Your team will basically be who you will work with most of the time. Your team now consist of Gavel the captain, Madeline and Lia, your lovely assistants, you, Hector and Alessia. Now, your team is missing Hector and Alessia. A team cannot function without the full 6. Thus, the Vipers had been dormant till now. So now, you are going to get them back into service.'

'Into service? You mean they quit?'

'Well, you can't expect everyone to laze around here if they don't have a team... They have their own lives outside of this fort.'

OMG I HAVNT DONE ANY WORK SHIT NO WRITING NOW DAMN DAMN DAMN
