I have officially defected to the other side. I am now at peace with Blogger In Beta.

My head hurts...

2006-10-03T16:39:00.001+08:00

Argh...hurts quite badly. It started in the morning during the chinese xtra lesson. Alex was forced to buy me a panadol. Ha ha!

My head still hurts...argh. I have taken another panadol, i hope it works.

Good mood!

62 years ago today, in 1942, Anne Frank and her family was captured from the Secret Annexe by the Nazi government of Germany, during the holocaust of World War 2.

Her diary entries that were retrieved from the hideout were compiled and later published. Her stories are an inspiration to us all, as she described living under horrible circumstances and under fear of arrest, in Nazi Germany.

She was later sent to a concentration camp in Bergen-Belsen and died there with her sister Margot.

Life sucks. After reading poems on how the authors wished they were kids again, and I always feel quite rubbish-y after that. Argh. Stupid feeling.

I have been throught a fair amount of crap, and I have learnt valuable lessons. Usually the moral of the lessons is that "Life is cruel/unfair/crappy/etc.".

But I have also learnt another valuable lesson and it is that I must not turn into a cynic. God is still around us! Listen close and you can feel his presence! Open your heart and accept his grace. Life is like a rose, with thorns, but beautiful. If you hold a rose in your palm, and hold it properly, you would not nessecarily get pricked, but you can admire the rose and feel happy. Inhale the scent and find that there is more to life than just toils and snares.

Have a nice day!

Today I am in a good mood. For some weird reason I FINALLY decided to redo the class website. Having gotten over the trauma of losing my hard drive in June, I am now ready to rock.

It's 11.54pm and I need to be in school by 8am tomorrow.

Cya folks!

Failure

2006-08-03T22:13:00.000+08:00

Hahas...I flunked my CL.

26.5/50 = C6 = FAILURE!!!

I must buck up...almost got my parents called. Well, at least I found out that it wasn't my last-minute revision...i got the revisable sections ok. I screwed the comprehensions.

I have to prepare my Mini-Pesa speech, build my robot, and study for Science common test. *cue expletives*

It's 10.14pm. I intend to sleep by 11.30pm.

Sigh.

Fight

2006-08-01T16:53:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile.

Common test week. I did ok for CL but my DnT is dead. danm orthographic drawings.

Had a big fight with Jerome yesterday. Kendrick made him miss his bus! haha, what a loser! I played a part in holding on to his bag. He watched helplessly as 147 sped off. It was a great moment!!!

Until he got pissed and started to fight. He shoved me to the ground and I twisted my ankle. After awhile i got up and we fight. It was shitty sia. After awhile i found out we were in front of everybody at the MRT station, then Mr. Gordon Goh came and seperate us.

Just then 13 came and Leonard and I boarded. I was like, "oh shit, now what?"

Fortunately Gordon Goh is a lenient teacher. Gordon Goh saved my ass.

Siti, I guess you can get a job as a fortune teller. People, can you imagine Siti in gypsy robes and a crystal ball?

Dartboard.

2006-07-20T21:50:00.000+08:00

I can't see what's the point of updating a dead blog, but heck.

I can't qualify for the south zone MRC. 8 seconds is just too slow.

I have 2 choices:

1. Game Over. Try again next year.

2. Join forces with the prefect Isaac by providing him with batteries.

I don't know what I should do.

Once again, I am knee-deep in shit. it's 0948 hours and I havent done my homework.

1A Merchandise

1. Ms. ___ dartboard.

2. Leonard brand Horny X-ray Vision Goggles.

3. Zachary brand Dictionary.

4. Swimming teddy bear.

5. Theodore's glutton bowl.

6. Spencer Horn accesories.

7. Jerome brand Rabbit feed.

The paper got confiscated by Ms. ___.

I am f*cked.

EDIT: I LEFT MY LIT AND MY MATHS HOMEWORK IN CLASS OH F*CK!

2006-07-17T18:00:00.000+08:00

I have ambitions.
I have dreams.
I want to fulfil!
I want success!
I can do it,
Yes!
I can!

...But they won't let me.

I am sick...

2006-07-13T20:23:00.000+08:00

...of all the shit that's wrong with this existance.

Robotics was quite fun today. I am redoing my Sumo Bot.

played cold

2006-07-12T20:24:00.000+08:00

I have found a new band to like. Cold play really makes me feel calm and feeling good. Bob did a good job playing Clocks with the junior school piano.

I lost the MRC. Hey, it was me vs Sec1 and Sec2!

I got first in the first race(7.71s) but was reduced to a measly third in the second race(10.57s).

The danm rollers were too stiff.

Wasted.

But we got to skip lessons. Yay!

Today was pretty normal.

I am knee deep in shit again, with projects piling up, people who cannot work together, and homework lacerating me again. I don't feel like doing anything. I am devoid of motivation.

On a lighter note, today is Ms Tan's b-day. Happy 131st birthday, Ms Tan! Hope you find more fun and joy in teaching in the days to come. And more dogs too.

The sport of chroming! Haha! A babaric, inhumane activity practiced by crazy, 13 year old imbeciles.

1. Grab a random victim.

2. Tackle him to the ground.

3. Remove victim's watch and glasses(if any).

4. Pin him down.

5. Remove victim's clothing.

Note: It is only fair for the victim to fight back, so do not participate if you are afraid of getting your nose punched or your balls kicked. Also, please do not take any photos or videos of the activity; it is bad enough for the victim as it already is.

Chroming is great fun.

Clocks

Lights go out and I cant be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have bought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead
Singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that cant be named
A tigers waiting to be tamed
SingingYou areYou areConfusion that never stops
The closing walls and the ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop, that you now know
Singing come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease
Singing
You are,you are
You are,you are
You are,you are
You are,you are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are,you are
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go
Home, home, where I wanted to go(you are)
Home, home, where I wanted to go(you are)

Flamin' Mess tins

2006-07-09T00:13:00.000+08:00

Today's troop meeting was great! Actually, I meant the after meeting training was great! During troop meeting, I came late, cos I was preparing for cooking test. 20 mins!!! I have to fix this punctuality problem. At least it was better then Quack, who came at 9.45!

Why the hell are there lines in the font?

Anyway, troop meeting was very much about chopping wood. That was all.

Glenn is going to Australia...we'll miss him. Lively boy with a cute face and very charismatic! Cya, Glenn.

Camp cooking had its ups and downs. For one, the curry powder residue stuck to the danmed tin! And halfway through, the mess tin fell to one side and the wondeful gravy spilled out. At that point I was like "F*CK!!!".

Sherwin and his flamin mess tin!!!

Good news is, I passed cooking and cleared one outdoor fire! Yay!

No one seems to be interested in the conundrum. Here's another one. What when you take away from it, grows bigger?

MRC

2006-07-07T15:23:00.000+08:00

Millenium Car race on Tuesday...gotta go do last minute changes to my car...

Nothing much to post about.

How about a little conundrum?

Sam is walking along a street in broad daylight. He has his hands in his pockets and he is basically slacking. While strolling along he notices that every 4 metres he sees a lampost. The diameter of each lampost is 500 centimetres.

Sam thinks: How many lamposts would I be able to see lighted right now along the street which is 200 metres long?

Have fun!

SYF

2006-07-01T22:05:00.000+08:00

I survived the first week.

I went for the SYF opening ceremony today. I really like the part with the different bands. I personally prefer Bowen Sec's performance.

UPDATE: More on SYF. The MC was freaking thrusting his hips when the choir sang! I freakin don't know why! Last year's SYF theme song sucked. Stupid colours crap. This year's song rocks. I went down to get food during the first band performance. The danm stall was packed like sardines. People who bought their food couldn't get out! Luckily the crowd dispersed when the stall ran out of drinks. Ha ha! The drinks were also sold at sky high prices. 1.50 for a plastic cup of diluted pepsi? WTF!?

I spent 2 days in a row sleeping at 1am! One day was because of the millenium car and the other was cos of Science project.

Urgh! Riverine study SUCKS.

I am planning SHo's birthday party which will be on Tuesday. Now I gotta think about what present to buy him. I have an $80 budget.

Xbox game?

Shirt?

Watch?

Bah. I later then think.

Let's end this post with a quote:
"I did my homework! I just forgot to write it down." –Anonymous

Okay.

2006-06-25T23:11:00.000+08:00

I'm screwed.

Regret

2006-06-25T16:51:00.000+08:00

I am screwed.

I managed to finish the maths last night, but not much else.

Nothing ever happens the way u want it to. I was supposed to stay at home today and do my hw, but my parents wanted to see flowers.

Arrrgh!

I am never gonna finish in these few remaining hours.

Mental note: DO YOUR HOMEWORK EARLY NEXT TIME!!!

I am going for the home run now, wish me luck.

Cooking.

2006-06-24T21:22:00.000+08:00

Yesterday's Tunes and Tones rocked.

The rehearsals became better and better and they gave me and Vinod two extra drums! AT LAST! Some BEAT in our tune!

We rehearsed non-stop from 11.50am to 1pm and I actually enjoyed it!

Rocking the school sounds more possible now.

At the finale of our song we end with a drum roll and we were supposed to finish it with a bang. I tried too hard and smashed my drum stick on the barrel drum and sent it(the stick) flying into the audience area. Although the others were wowed, they told me not to throw, for safety. Sigh. It was the best finale I could think of...

We went to play street soccer after that. I left early, though. Theodore was the opposing goalkeeper, and at one point he thrusted his hip and deflected a ball. I seriously don't know why he did that. Of all ways to deflect a ball.

Faheem action action go and play while holding his Macs milo and the ball actually hit his cup and it burst. Looks like someone now has a brown PE shirt. This also meant a puddle of Milo at one corner of the court.

Aktar fell into the water and Vinod had to be told frequently to "relac lah!".

Lol.

After that I went home and followed my mom to my Auntie's house to help her clean up the place. She is moving in today(June 24). I felt it was a total waste of time as we did not do anything at all. My mom tried to clean up my cousin's toilet, and when she touched a small glass panel(the type for putting your soap on) it fell and shattered!

Later on we found out that the workers did not screw it in properly. Heng sia! If my mom did not find out, my cousin would have been bathing and then...yeah, you know what I mean.

Today I woke up late. I woke up at 1!!! I was supposed to wake up early to finish my homework before going to school at 2 for a cooking test.

Cooking was great! My first proper dishes! Broccoli with Abalone sauce and minced meat with garlic. The rice turned out good too. :D

We had a feast today. Lyndon's soup rocked.

I am gonna chiong my homework now. Wish me luck!

Also, be prepared for a rocking performance during Lower Sec assembly on Monday! 1A forever!

It ain't my day.

2006-06-22T22:17:00.000+08:00

Tunes and Tones sucked today. Not that the trainers were bad, but that I got paired with this sad excuse of an instrument. My group had to take the shit that we made on our own. We didn't even paint them! I got this Water ladle+basin+smaller basin+cup thing.

I was terribly pissed.

The other group got the "professional" instruments, which were planned and made by the instructors, namely Mr Mus and Mr Jamal. I think I got the names wrong.

I started to experiment with the thing with ymy drumsticks. The cup broke.

Bummer.

Next to go was the basin, which cracked.

Then the smaller basin broke off. It could still be used, though.

At one point the trainer got pissed off and harshly repeated not to whack. Sigh. I felt that I wasnt even using force!!! Later on I found "Made in Malaysia" on the basin.

The music we made was...interesting.

To be honest it sucked. We went off-key, I came in late, Timothy made noises in the middle of a very good attempt, no one understood how the Jabs worked.

Later on we joine the Pro group and I realised that they werent any better.

One of the large basins on the percussion rack fell off. The rubbe holding it to the rack had snapped.

All I could hear was "Boom, boom, chik chick, boom, chick chick, boom, chick, boom, ping, hoo, boom" and other weird noises that were cancelling out each other.

And the instructors had earlier told us that we would "rock" the school come monday. Yeah, the school building will collapse in laughter.

I can almost imagine Mr Jeffrey Au pointing and laughing at the people on stage, like how that janitor did in Austin Powers 3.

Later on, to the delight of all, the lesson ended and Dad picked me up. Went home, changed, and went to my Aunt's house.

She renovated it a while ago. She is currently in the process of cleaning it up. It looks suave and modern. I especially like the lights. Sorry, no pictures.

My cousin apparently made the entrance to her bathroom small and squeezy so that it would be more private. She is thin and...not very big, and so it suited her needs.

The place looks a little dull though. The dark colours(namely grey and black) made the place look smaller. Ah well, it is up to them.

That's all for today!

*cheesy Looney Tunes music*

Hello.

2006-06-21T23:11:00.000+08:00

Tunes and tones was great. Got to spray paint the instruments today. My fingernails are permanently coloured! Now I have to wait for them to grow and cut them.

Few points to note about spray paint:

1. Paint in LAYERS. At least 6 layers will do the trick. Do not try and finish everything in the first spray. You will end up with patches.

2. Use adequate newspaper for masking your workpiece and protecting the floor. When I mean adequate, I mean HEAPS. Don't use masking tape on your painted workpiece. It will peel off the paint. Use it to secure the newspapers on the floor.

3. Have proper ventilation. Recently some Thai workers died because they werent wearing proper masks when they spray painted. U dont need masks, but you need an open area, with air circulating around.

4. Try not to get the paint on your clothes. Or nails. They are impossible to wash off. Ditto for your precious furniture.

5. Take advantage of the quick drying time! Spray paint outdoors! Under the sun!

Our trash can drums turned out well. White with green and yellow spots on one and green and yellow lines on the other. We cheated though. Ms Chew got fed up and did it for us. Another group painted their trash can silver and black. I said that it really looked like a REAL trash can, ala Oscar the Grouch style. Ethan agreed.

Many people were absent today. No prizes for guessing why. check out www.maplesea.com if u need a hint.

I was making fun of Jon aka Penguin by holding the spray can to his hair and making "psssst..." noises and blowing at his hair. He mistook it for the spray can and became hysterical. Later on he sprayed Midnight Blue in an attempt to cover the other non-existant colour. LOL!

J: I spray ah.

J: I really spray ah.

*Spray*

J: OMIGOD!

*Runs off to the sink*

Joker sia, he.

His hair was ok, though. I suspect the wind blue the paint away.

I changed the blog skin. Made one using Paint. Paint is a terrible excuse of an imaging software. Sigh, it is free, after all.

Don't mind the crappiness. I will rectify it once I get my hands on PHOTOSHOP.

Hello.

2006-06-20T23:41:00.000+08:00

It's been awhile. Alot has happened!

It's my last week of hols and it is being burned by Tunes and Tones, an enrichment thingie involving household items-made musical instrumentsm ala STOMP.

It's late and I should be sleeping. Haiz.

And I just realised 2 seconds ago that I have to bring some stuff tomorrow for Tunes and Tones.

Shit.

Am I going mad?

2006-04-03T20:05:00.000+08:00

I have since become bloody critical of others...and I find that I have not looked back at myself as often as before.

Who am I to judge when I myself should be judged?

Arrgh...came home effing late today...really pissed now.

Oh how life has changed...

2006-04-03T19:55:00.000+08:00

...Don't you think?

Came back late today. Reached bus stop downstairs at 6.45pm...

Effing rain ruined the day...but it was a good shower though.

Waterpolo interrupted by Lao Liu...old man wants to go home early...gave rain as an excuse...

Till next time.

Phew!

2005-10-16T10:17:00.000+08:00

I finally got the perfect look for my blog...now's time to put the template aside and play Battlefield!

Herbie and the genital piercings

2005-09-07T21:43:00.000+08:00

No, Herbie did NOT have genital piercings.

Although I walked past a tattoo studio today and saw the sign "Male and Female Genitak Piercings available".

It's pretty unbelievable that some punks have such lousy upbringing and morals that lead them to poke holes in their...umm...what ah?...nevermind. But I mean, what on earth did their parents teach them? Piercing your ears, maybe. But piercing your &@##? For what?!

Might as well poke holes all over your butt. And insert rings into them. How about having a nose ring like cows do? That's fashionable, isn't it? Or maybe you can poke grooves in your scalp, so that you can stick satay sticks out of your head. Or how about just walking into a tattoo studio and showing the artists one of these toys(http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=2481) and telling them "Can I look like this?"

I also watched Herbie: Fully Loaded today. Not bad lah. 3/5 stars for me. It's more like those 'cute' shows. Here's a synopsis:

SPOILER ALERT!

Herbie was bought by Maggie Peyton(Lindsay Lohan) as a graduation gift from her Dad. Herbie gets pissed off by this Trip guy, one of those champion racers. He sabos Mags and engages Trip in a street race. Vroom, vroom...Herbie beats Trip. Trip gets super pissed, and hatches a plot to destroy that car that ruined his undefeated championship. He organises a competition, and that whoever beats him will get $10 000. Herbie reaches the finals.

Now, the exciting part. Trip makes a deal with Mags. Whoever wins gets to keep the other's car. Herbie gets so distraught that Mags struck such a deal and therefore loses the race. Herbie is taken away and is entered in a demolition derby by one of Trip's lackeys. Herbie gets killed by a monster truck and Maggie Peyton realises that it's wrong to backstab anybody, even a car.

End Of Spoiler...

There you go. How's that for a fine synopsis? Haha.
