Holidays are here. sort of anw. Yay. tis the season to be abusing. Aircon in comp room is now on something like 16 hrs a day, aircon in room is on for....the rest of the time. not long before something screws up. comp is on as long as aircon in comp room is on, if not longer. pity my parents =/. eyes are getting screwed too. that red streak that cuts through the center of each eyeball is back. could be pretty cool, if it didnt hurt lol. brain is also suffering from lack of activity(non-mental activity that is), resulting in it going into overdrive. the voice in there refuses to stop blabbering. only another 2 months to go. maybe i should pick up a new skill. cross-stitching sounds really fun.
then theres the issue of ego, which seems to have died down. sorry but i simply have to say my piece. oops did i say ego, i meant elitism. on second thought maybe i shant say my piece. im not elitist, but this shit is starting me on the road to it.
6.38 is out, and on this i shall have to say my piece. put very simply, its gay. especially the PoM(PoM).
my grades, are maths A, gp B, chem B, lit C, econs D. this is what i get for following everyone else and taking econs lol. or maybe. this is what i get for not being able to live with that.
yay pw op dry run 2 tmr, spa on wednesday, the real deal next week. the schools notion of holidays is a little weird. haha yea im one of those whiners who complain both ways..

Just another 'oh how quickly time has passed' entry
okay so technically school is over. of course theres still 2 really exciting a lvl exams coming up. everyones favourite subjects at that. but hey, its supposed to be over. so as the academic year comes to an abrupt, boring, and most unfitting end, We shall take some time to reflect on the past year of school. damn i want to do another 'oh how quickly time has passed' thing before new year, so hard to split content lol.
hmm actually i dont have much to reflect on, as most of the year was spent...half alive. hence i cannot recall much. sec 4 i still could remember, to some extent, the occurences of the day, like some joylim joke, or what huang yuting did for physics (well thats not too hard really, its always the same). and i could go to school and laugh my ass off the whole day and go home and play dota the whole day. now, i duno, i think my brain is half frozen, fuse is half its old length. and tired. lol. not the good kind of tired, more like the bored kind of tired. but whats there to be done. even rest isnt restful (was it ever =/). when ur not working, ur haunted by your thoughts, or some random game that probably stresses ur brain out more than when doing work. dreamless sleep is precious =/.
bah im falling asleep. at 1030. anw so its goodbye j1, goodbye rest, goodbye free time, goodbye keith wong =/, goodbye OA(for now). hello j2, hello A levels, hello looking for universities, hello worrying about scholarships, hello helllotofwork. looks kinda bleak from where im standing. but oh well. who knows how it'll turn out. (damn this is really brief)

Teach less learn...what?
-between the camps of 'express yourself'(essential for healthy growth) and 'dont give yourself away'(they'll know your every weakness), the rest were just left to wonder.-quoteworthy? lol.
back when they were trying to get everyone enthusiastic about keeping diaries, i dont believe i ever thought of keeping one. firstly it was gay, secondly maybe writing to yourself seemed a little sad. and hinted at/would result in a loss of sanity. so now i have a blog, where content is regulated. though as exemplified by this paragraph that doesnt really seem to be very effective.
anw yesterday went church for p6 seminar. some people are under the impression that i went to macritchie to run/look at monkeys =) (identities hidden). where once again my social skills failed me, and 'nevermind' and 'its okay' once again win the prize for most frequently used phrases. and 'the same' won the prize for most common response (though its a fairly original one, if i may add). wasnt much help either =p. oh well. some time, perhaps.
but thats not the point. so after dinner there was some talk for parents of p6 kids, on life in secondary school. and there was some panel of parents who came up to answer FAQs on how they treat/discipline/wdv their children. so once again i was reminded of how easy we have it. though most of the time i appreciate the freedom to stayover, stay up, stay out, stay in front of the comp with near zero nagging, near zero information required, think they let go too early lol. i still have no idea why everything was suddenly 'allowed'.
okay i think ive said enough/too much. despite the length of the post. -end mild angst- right this post probably breaks the record for least number of '=/'s used. zero!

Confessions #2
i vaguely remember having confessions #1 as a title before, not sure though.
okay so this morning i was going downstairs for breakfast and my sister asks me to go look in the backyard. and theres a yellow basket, upside down. anw my maids standing around, and she asks me if i knew what it was, and she opens the basket, and lo and behold, theres a...furry thing! anw its either a hamster or guinea pig, i dont know which =/. cutest thing i saw all day=p.apparently my maid woke up to find it outside her door(her rooms in the backyard, and yes she has a proper room -.-) uhh anw thats not the end of the story. so we were discussing wad to put it in, and went to look for a box, and i got back to the backyard, and the thing got out of the basket =/. so i panic, slightly. and try to throw the basket back over the furrything(assume its a guinea pig). but miss. then my maid comes, and she starts screaming+laughing. if u can picture that, and she tries to throw the basket again, but misses, even worse and the furrything (i think its a better name than guinea pig) starts panicking, and running around, and slips out the backgate, and gets cornered by me my maid my neighbour (some old lady) and her maid. and uhh it starts...hissing is the best way to describe it probably. and uhh my maids asking me to catch it =/ so i sorta stick out my hand, and it runs to the drain, and somehow slips through the grille. and gets away. however, that was my fault =////. see it took some time to wiggle through, and i could have grabbed its hind legs and yanked, but its head was through already, and i thought it might a) get permanent brain damage, or b) bite me and give me some strange disease. well okay so no1 would go into the drain to retrieve it. and thats all there is to it. i was feeling quite alright, until my sister asked my dad ( who had been spectating) what would happen to it,and he said the cats would get it =/. ouch. failed reflexes+ brains+ guts. and uhh an after school search (12 hrs later, yea. well my sister was hanging around in the backyard, insisting she was there to scare the cats away, for fun.=PP) yielded no results.
so uhhh. if the cats got you, RIP, furrything =/. and i shall be haunted for the rest of my life( or at least part of it). and if they didnt, maybe it will show up again randomly lol.
Also troubing is my lack of form, in dota, and everything in general. i can feeelll the weakness.
And cheer up people =/ (lol myself included i guess). havent u heard, depression is contagious.

So much for Friday the 13th
Yesterday went pretty darn well, i daresay. the only bad stuff that happened to me struck when there was a little more than an hour left of the day, and my cursor decided not to appear on the comp screen, then my monitor screwed up, then my comp hung, and hung again, and again, and again..anw to see if friday the 13th was really unlucky i waited till there was about 15 mins left to saturday the 14th, and tried it again, and uhhh it worked lol. 15 mins left cos i was falling asleep =/. apart from that, the day was...nice.
open house was actually quite fun lol. i actually like rj oO. maybe it was cos i was slacking so much. and the performances were pretty good, and Borrowed Time is obviously borrowing time to think of a new name =p (i couldnt resist saying that =/, honestly i think the names okay, except its koped from a dota skill.) lol but wdv it was nice. lol wr i wasnt kidding when i said Boston and How to save a life were songs that i like now, and accidentally in love (2 yrs ago) (ok lah i still like it lol) and wth albar couldnt recognize me =(. do i rly look that different =/. and lan was fun, after cs lol oO.
and why is tagboard screwing up (and switching to cbox doesnt solve anything), and so is msn 7.5. and lance and daryl complain i dont link them. so lance's blog can be found at www.isaiah35.blogspot.com, and daryl's blog can be found at ww.missionaryinmaking.blogspot.com (=p)

Aura
Today i got home, and my comp hanged. (its been hanging alot less this week) anyway when i switched it on again my history was gone. for firefox that is. which has never happened before. actually all my internet settings got reset. well thats for my comp. the laptop...its still there. lol how completely random.
Once upon a time, i went for adam khoos motivational workshop thingo. one of the things mentioned was that people have..auras. which are caused by their thoughts/states of mind, if i remember correctly. which go on to influence people around u. for example, if u look at a guy and think 'f*** u' or something really hard, he can..sense it and gets affected. thats according to them of course. there was an experiment to sort of prove it, but the reliability is still questionable. they also crapped about how everyone is the best of a few million sperms that swim to reach the egg (yea that same old story) which was disputed by joylim last year, cos the first few are sacrificed to break through that...i forgot wad its called that coats the egg. ok this is really random too, dont ask me why i am reminded of it cos i have no idea.
actually it had something to do with friday the thirteenth. okay i only found out/realized this friday is the day this afternoon visiting mocas blog. already i can feel the evil...aura(yes wrong usage i know) approaching, led by the most unlucky pw op on thursday. and i am reading stephen king (again). no not the dark tower, and this one is starting to creep me out. or maybe its the cover. or maybe its the thickness of the thing. lol. or, it might be because the main character is named Bobbi Anderson, mostly referred to as Anderson(which never fails to remind me of the idiot from the matrix [no, not mr anderson, smith]). and its a woman. and umm if u add or to aura u get aurora :o. ok the last one was seriously random.
in other stuff that contains auras of sorts, today i got back my sustenance (starts with b, ends with net, no its not bayonet). *rawr. must feed..*

Wow i can take more than i thought.
or maybe its not as hard as i thought. wdv. anyway im kinda blogging out of obligation. dont think i will be blogging as often as before (much less than the once a day craze). ive more or less exhausted ideas for wad to blog about lol. and i dont suppose i need to put everything here. i started blogging cos i thought i had so much stuff to say. but i dont suppose i dont, after all lol. some of it is probably better off in my head.
right. i guess ill jus blog about random mundane stuff then. like the weather oO. lol seriously the haze is annoying. everythings so...hazy now. lol. and the suns a dull orange with a tinge of grey, resulting in the light taking on an unnatural tinge of yellow/orange. i know i said i like orange and yellow light, but this is..not natural. in addition, the heat is still stifling, and the rain served only to bring on more humidity. in conclusion, the weather isnt really its best. lol ok ignore this paragraph. seriously i dont quite know wad to type/how to type it.
maybe its cos ive been on some marathon. well, very briefly, my activities over the last 36 hours. yesterday, (monday right. yea monday lol.) went bowling with lk timwee lim min(lolnoshowsall). then having nothing better to do walked randomly around ps/heeren with lk and limin looking for...something. longkuans needs oO. was quite stoned out by then. then went home, waited for moca and xr, then went to city hall, had dinner, went home again, this time with all of them, for stayover (before moving out, must abuse, lol.) okay fine maybe i was a little anal about the state of my house, but nvm. in any case, alot of walking involved oO. anw, yea stayover. was, as usual, great. lol. thanks xr for the cd and stuff. and pardon the bad hospitality( from me, at least) and lack of panadol(or my ability to find any) lol. and as a result my comp now has >double the original amount of songs. yay oO (how to save a life). lol i think pretty soon im gonna turn emo. anw armed with four hours of sleep the afternoon was spent stoning away, and uhh cs with jensons classmates. (jenson robs me of my right to be tired btw =/). i think cs will be one of my favouritest games. when (and if) i learn to play it.
and thats my last 36 hrs. in summarized, straightforward, non-beat around the bush form. how boring lol. have u fallen asleep yet. cos i think im going to soon(which may or may not be related to the quality of the post). then again i might get insomnia (the pre-gp paper insomnia has installed that worry in my head).
Anyways, i am thankful.

Aftermath is chem
Okay here we go.
False statements are 5, 11, 13, 15, 18.
1. At one point in time i had guppies in cheap plastic tanks, at another i had various fishes in a not-so-cheap tank, at another i had swordfish in a small fountain-pond, and at another i had koi in a fibreglass tank.
Uhh yea. now i just have koi in a pond. i miss the aquarium. sort of.
2. My favourite time of the day is the 6am-11am period.
whats not to like? everythings a nice orange-turning-to-yellow. without the crappy heat. wad else could be my favourite time of the day? hmm 6-7pm comes quite close though.
3. I am unable to think of anyone whose guts i hate so bad i want to kill the fella.
yea well wdv.
4. Being an extremely docile guy, i have squished less than 20 mosquitoes and ants combined my entire life.
lol why does everyone pick this..firstly i dont squish ants, i flick them. and uhh mosquitoes..well i 'd rather not get my hands dirty. lol.
5. I used to know a lot about dinosaurs. when i was eight i knew what a masiakasaurus was.
lol nava almost got this. the first half of the statement is true, the second...is the result i got for googling 'most recently discovered dinosaur'. lol i think this prevented ppl from getting 5/5. it takes a truly dedicated soul to find this out.
6. Ive cheated someone of money before.
yea well. it was in primary one, and everyday i bought a hot dog bun which cost 50 cents, and my mom would give me 50 cents everyday. so one day somehow there was a 20 cent coin in my bag, and i took it and gave it to the auntie (unknowingly) and she spotted it, and i seriously thought i gave her the 50 cent coin, and i argued with her for abit, then a teacher came and asked, 'are u sure u gave her 50 cents?' so i said ya, and she paid for me. then i went back after recess and found the 50 cent coin in my bag and was like... damn i dont remember wad i said. but i still remember. traumatic.
7. In primary school i always wanted to be a prefect, cos i wanted power, and got angry when i wasnt chosen.
lol i still duno why. was always so close. wasnt selected in p2, but was appointed monitor in p3. then after i changed school, half my class were prefects, but i wasnt, despite being in the better half of the class, academically and in terms of behaviour. this is before i became 'anti-establishment'. still, its quite puzzling. think its because i was too childish.
8. When i was younger i used to fold lots of origami, then use them as toys and start playing with them.
yeah well i never had much to do. and they looked cool. i even had a plot. which consisted mostly of fighting. and fighting. and cool action scenes with paper figures. yay.
9. I've moved house 6 times.
and moved back to the same house twice lol.
10. At one time i wanted to learn to draw, so i borrowed drawing books from the library.
umm yea. no comment. i read fiction too quickly for things to do over the course of the loan.
11. It was only the december hols after PSLE that i was allowed to access the computer anytime i wanted.
actually it was only in sec2 lol -.-. before that i had to do stuff like wait till my mom wasnt at home then ask my dad. or swim for time, which was initiated by me/my brother, cant remember. but i think my mom wouldnt have minded, cos one day she came home and saw me playing and din say anything so i assumed i was granted free access.
12. Currently my computer contains more songs by the beatles than any other artiste/group.
lol didnt think i would make it that easy did you. this is true, at least on the morning of posting. i found this old beatles cd, and due to the sad nature of my playlist and mugging being very boring i copied it ><
13. Corn is one of the vegetables that i actually enjoy eating.
ummmm no. i dont really like corn actually. lol my words actually carry a lot of weight. 'does no one believe me to be capable of liking corn' and no1 puts 13 after that =/
14. I think of myself as anti-social.
okay, so maybe not in school. but outside school, like my first year of church for example, ..
15. There used to be this mango tree in my backyard that yielded the sourest of mangoes, and (only) my parents would put black sauce in it and eat it.
okay it was my neighbours tree. lol.
16. I was so superstitious, i used to believe that the good and bad things that happened in a day would balance out. hence if bad things happened to me i would think 'theres bound to be good things later on'.
lol btw leonard, i currently dont think its true ><. think its all about perception lah. anw, its mostly gone now, but im still paranoid ^^.
17. When i was about 7 i used to get my maid to catch them little brown beetles, and put them in plastic tanks and tried to feed them. but they all died, so i stopped.
yeah well. need i say more.
18. When i was unwillingly appointed physics rep in sec4 i thought at least it was better than nothing.
well no not really. i thought it was quite shitty she appointed me rep of the subject i did not hesitate to drop. i may have sucked as lit rep, but...
19. Long ago i fell down in my own front yard and cut my head against those green wire fences, and had to go to the hospital for a few stitches.
yeah well theres a teeny mark on my left eyebrow. i remember crying all the way to the hospital and back, before my mom gave up and scolded me and i realized i was crying for no reason lol. at least i think thats wad happened. i was like, six?
20. In my opinion, theres alot of things most people dont know about me. (how giveaway is this)
uhh the only people who guessed this got zero.
SO.
SCORES.
lol the tagboard doesnt have the other ppls scores, so xr, moca, wt and phang (im not sure who else) u wont get ur answers, but i remember ur scores.
so in first prize, with 3/5: MoXaR. 1.5 each? =/ (dont rmbr ur choices)
2nd prize, with 2/5: wt(dont rmbr choices), longkuan (), jishun (
3rd prize, with 1/5: leonard (

lol i still duno why. was always so close. wasnt selected in p2, but was appointed monitor in p3. then after i changed school, half my class were prefects, but i wasnt, despite being in the better half of the class, academically and in terms of behaviour. this is before i became 'anti-establishment'. still, its quite puzzling. think its because i was too childish.
8. When i was younger i used to fold lots of origami, then use them as toys and start playing with them.
yeah well i never had much to do. and they looked cool. i even had a plot. which consisted mostly of fighting. and fighting. and cool action scenes with paper figures. yay.
9. I've moved house 6 times.
and moved back to the same house twice lol.
10. At one time i wanted to learn to draw, so i borrowed drawing books from the library.
umm yea. no comment. i read fiction too quickly for things to do over the course of the loan.
11. It was only the december hols after PSLE that i was allowed to access the computer anytime i wanted.
actually it was only in sec2 lol -.-. before that i had to do stuff like wait till my mom wasnt at home then ask my dad. or swim for time, which was initiated by me/my brother, cant remember. but i think my mom wouldnt have minded, cos one day she came home and saw me playing and din say anything so i assumed i was granted free access.
12. Currently my computer contains more songs by the beatles than any other artiste/group.
lol didnt think i would make it that easy did you. this is true, at least on the morning of posting. i found this old beatles cd, and due to the sad nature of my playlist and mugging being very boring i copied it ><
13. Corn is one of the vegetables that i actually enjoy eating.
ummmm no. i dont really like corn actually. lol my words actually carry a lot of weight. 'does no one believe me to be capable of liking corn' and no1 puts 13 after that =/
14. I think of myself as anti-social.
okay, so maybe not in school. but outside school, like my first year of church for example, ..
15. There used to be this mango tree in my backyard that yielded the sourest of mangoes, and (only) my parents would put black sauce in it and eat it.
okay it was my neighbours tree. lol.
16. I was so superstitious, i used to believe that the good and bad things that happened in a day would balance out. hence if bad things happened to me i would think 'theres bound to be good things later on'.
lol btw leonard, i currently dont think its true ><. think its all about perception lah. anw, its mostly gone now, but im still paranoid ^^.
17. When i was about 7 i used to get my maid to catch them little brown beetles, and put them in plastic tanks and tried to feed them. but they all died, so i stopped.
yeah well. need i say more.
18. When i was unwillingly appointed physics rep in sec4 i thought at least it was better than nothing.
well no not really. i thought it was quite shitty she appointed me rep of the subject i did not hesitate to drop. i may have sucked as lit rep, but...
19. Long ago i fell down in my own front yard and cut my head against those green wire fences, and had to go to the hospital for a few stitches.
yeah well theres a teeny mark on my left eyebrow. i remember crying all the way to the hospital and back, before my mom gave up and scolded me and i realized i was crying for no reason lol. at least i think thats wad happened. i was like, six?
20. In my opinion, theres alot of things most people dont know about me. (how giveaway is this)
uhh the only people who guessed this got zero.
SO.
SCORES.
lol the tagboard doesnt have the other ppls scores, so xr, moca, wt and phang (im not sure who else) u wont get ur answers, but i remember ur scores.

One. Think of 15 short bits of interesting stuff about yourself. And they’ve gotta be true.
Two. Come up with 5 false statements regarding yourself, but for fun's sake keep them in the threshold of believability.
Three. Jumble them all up together and list them in any order.
Four. Post them on LJ and let people guess which the five false ones are!
Five. Get 5 others to do the same.
1. At one point in time i had guppies in cheap plastic tanks, at another i had various fishes in a not-so-cheap tank, at another i had swordfish in a small fountain-pond, and at another i had koi in a fibreglass tank.
2. My favourite time of the day is the 6am-11am period.
3. I am unable to think of anyone whose guts i hate so bad i want to kill the fella.

Gravity
wonder whats with the weather. maybe its God. but its all so apt. today all heat was flushed away by the afternoons..torrent. or whatever u want to call it. nearly turned the very air grey, i dare say. the rest of the day was punctuated with light drizzles, a memory of the floods and a melancholic reminder of the cold that still permeated the air. it was vaguely refreshing, a little bit of clarity, i have to say.
no one noticed the thunderstorm during gp/pw. well it didnt bother anyone i guess (apart from js?) cos we were together. it only struck later, when i was alone(as it tends to do). on my refreshing little evening walk home in light rain(yes i wasted that much time just doing one maths assignment). this sort of weather tends to evoke depressing thoughts, no? and strangely poetic ones too. who knows how long the drizzles will stay. but the question is, should they?
either way, tis the time for chocolates and sad songs (dont ask me why, i just feel that way). and gravity drags spirits down, just as it pulls droplets down from the heavens, just as it anchors (almost) everything to the ground.
sorry.
It sucks.

One night of desolation
Msn's down. o discordia. currently a grand total of 10 contacts are online. everyone else apparently is ignorant of the existence of windows messenger, or thinks it unworthy of their signing in to it, and talking to a possible 10-20 contacts. hello windows msnger rocks k?? behold the simplistic blue and white layout, lack of display pics, personal msges, limited(seriously) emoticons, maximum one file transfer at a time, and most importantly the alert sound (which is really a dull beep). how pleasant to the ears it is. in fact you hardly hear it.
anyway.no superlatives can describe The Importance of Msn. i was introduced to it in sec2 (yea damn late i know) and since then, ive never looked back, faithfully coming online almost every night. for what i dont really know, dont really have many convos, but it simply has to be on. seriously i have to be able to open msn and soak up the aura generated by contacts being online. believe me, its there, its not a figment of my imagination, or the radiation generated by the screen. oh yes, its there alright. as a result i find myself unable to function properly without msn on. cant play dota, and cant do work.
in my opinion, it is most irresponsible of the ppl at msn, who have faithfully kept it running for forever, to let it remain down for more than 5 hrs (yea its been down since 4, and thats only when i got back). they really should spare a thought for the millions of youth around the world, for whom it is a necessity to feel connected, without which they will wither and die. and all the poor j1 students who have to do pw. without msn, how are they to communicate and do their bloody written reports, save through alternative mediums of communication (i am unable to think of any)
hence i find myself blogging, windows messenger being a poor substitute for msn. this is while staring blankly into my lit essay question, unable to do work due to msn not functioning. maybe. or it could be because the question is impossible. this is in addition to the chem tutorial maths tutorial and other stuff which i cannot remember at present, which i have yet to do. but how am i going to stay up late, with no one online, and no msn to properly stay up late, if u get what i mean. oh well. the night isnt that bad though. entertainment for the night was provided by jishun, who has put my jokes to shame with a few of his own. and heres a few, impromptu (ithink)
why couldnt the penguin wear a wig?
its flippers were too short.
why couldnt the turtle scratch its back?
there was a shell there.
how did the sheep end up with a bad haircut? (something like that, i kinda forgot ><)
the farmer thought it wanted to go to a bahhh-ber shop
anyway it is my opinion that msn screwing up is all the fault of the IMF world bank shit. conspiracy theory(i love u baby..) :terrorists, following in the governments footsteps, have decided to try to identify with todays youths (remember the NS video), and resorted to using msn to recruit new suicide bombers. or perhaps they simply found it more efficient than sending out coded letters, seeing how it would be impossible to sift out potentially dangerous exchanges from the millions of other convos going on, making them hard to detect. in any case, the government in a show of paranoia has decided to shut down msn to prevent communication between terrorists intending to sabotage the meeting. damn i think im gonna stage a protest.
anyway, if the post sounded weird, thats obviously the fault of msn as well. see i cant even blog properly without it oO

Nothing accomplished
yet another 'nothing' title. yay. so the one week holiday that never was draws to a close. and i find myself having done nothing the whole week. what i wanted to do was do some tys qns, read some chem notes, file all my stuff, do maths practice qns. however, perhaps due to a lack of concrete goals (note how there are no quantitative values in the list) i obviously did not achieve all that. (see all those motivational, goal setting etc. talks are actually good for something). instead, i have managed to: empty my big box file(leaving all the stuff that was supposed to be filed lying on my table in piles, rendering me unable to do work in my room. and maths assignment (except general maths qns). and read (with little effect) chem notes. the uselessness of that was clearly demonstrated during the organic chem test, which, btw, could be used as a biology case study for erm. hormones. and stuff. or a case study for one of them goal setting talks. you know how they always say set realistic targets. well keeping an entire lt (lt 1 to be precise) full of students quiet for more than 1 hr and 10 minutes (the duration of the test, if i remember correctly) is hardly realistic. not even the hedgehog can do it.
anw. what i have been doing is playing dota, neopets, minesweeper, other random warcraft maps, watching tv and other time-wasting, counter productive activities. actually i havent even finished holiday homework. or done any pw. and the holidays (or sorry excuse for it) are more or less over(such a useless phrase, if its over its over lol). funny how i thought (like everyone else) the week would give all the time i needed to...settle stuff. ouch is all i can say.
on the topic of watching tv i watched groundhog day today. which is seriously a nice show. and infinitely better than vadis pck episode. and in a random coincidence-like thing groundhog days on the 2nd of february. whatever the significance of that(or the day after) may be. lol.

Trouble me not
its scary how i dont feel scared about promos. theres just this vague sense of 'something must be done' cos every one else is chionging like mad cows. btw this phenomemon would not have been witnessed in ri, i think. so the past few days have been completely unproductive. didnt catch shit in maths/econs, came home and wasted time doing stupid stuff (like xherosiege =p). apart sorting all the worksheets in my file by subject half hr ago. now all thats left to do is punch holes, file them, and repeat for the worksheets that were not in my file (the worksheets in my file are something like 2 wks worth of em). currently i cant do maths, not understanding chapters 8 9 10, dont understand nitrogen compounds, have forgotten all the stuff from previous chem lectures, and econs to me is more fictional than lit.yay. thats okay tomorrow shall be a mugging day(i wish). i need to get off the damn comp. its such a distraction that i broke my minesweeper best time again(which i did not think possible). currently its at 130.
and happy birthday again moca(yesterday). i think it felt like everyones birthday lol. arent u glad u didnt follow ur plan to organize ur own birthday *_*. and uhh acknowledgement is due to wr(and jishun. and me. and uhh basically everyone. but primarily wr). damn moca u make me jealous, wr works his ass off just for u =(.

when everythings meant to be broken
lol yay im blogging. cos i dont want this place to die. so after pacing around the room for a while ive decided what to blog about. ill blog about erm. stuff that happened.
so. today. today felt like it all happened yesterday, dont ask me why. went to school went to lunch, came home, played dota.
yesterday. yesterday i dont believe anything happened at all. felt like it never existed. can be summed up in one word (its really an acronym, but how many people actually know that. and how many people actually know what it stands for, and how many of those can do it without making gramatical error, i wonder) and you all know what that word is. okay in case ur not so bright, its DotA. Defend of the Ancient.
thursday. thursday felt so damn long. and wet. such perfect weather for staying home. or some:-Owhere where u dont have to get ur shoes soaked and toes wrinkled. lol okay so there was teachers day celebrations. three cheers for gws indefatigable ego. (duno if thats used correctly, but it seems to fit lol) but i seriously wonder how he does it oO. -ends criticism of gw prematurely-. what a strange character.
oh well the rest of the teachers day celebrations were pretty good i suppose. (though i have to think really hard to recall what they were). the organizer(s) is quite pro. btw why are most of the new teachers gp tutors oO.
and now its time for reminiscing and reflecting (r&r). well in minimal amounts anw. so anw went back ri after that. yea lol sure it was nice to see albar and stuff, but like all other go-back-to-places-where-u-were-seemingly-forever-ago things it never quite felt the same. just a tad awkward. sigh. i suppose after people go their ways theres nothing much to talk about anymore. lol i miss 4i. but some things are better left as memories. i guess.
'Literature, gentlemen, is the only true humanity' (i forgot the rest so ill leave it as an impactful one-liner lol)
other interesting incidents of note include ycm holing herself up in her hod room, hiding behind the blinds, refusing to acknowledge knocks on her window. until of course some brave souls ventured into the room (through the door). and err joylim holing herself up in the staff room. i have no idea why. according to her its cos we're all dressed in pe so 'very stinky' but who believes that lol. and huang yuting remembers me, her most dilligent physics rep. (though i forgot i was physics rep until she reminded me). actually she remembers my contents page (i cant rly remember that, i may or may not have done one for the class..)
and thats it for my last few days.
on another note, happy birthday moca. (my clock reads 1159 so i guess its still valid)

Advice
right. anyway. remember how ur parents always tell u, drink lots of water when ur sick. well if u feel like puking, dont. lol. seriously.
Did you think your day was shitty
hmm. things tend to repeat themselves. firstly. i have an mc. again. =/
anw after econs i was inexplicably struck with headache + stomachache. this rendered my productivity for the afternoon more or less gone. so i spent the whole day waiting for 7 oclock for the doctor to open, moaning and groaning and pretending to be pathetic. (but seriously its not very pleasant). then i ate dinner, and miraculously(disappointingly) wad was left of my fever was about as much dinner i ate.(something not quite right about that sentence). lol went doctor anw, since my lack of productivity would kill me tmr.
'gastric flu, and u still have a mild fever, but should be better by 10 or 11 tonight. do you need an mc?'
at this i stop to ponder. 'uhh okay'
'okay lah i dont think ur the type to skip lessons, but just in case' . lol looking guai has its advantages, no? or maybe thats a tactic they employ. questioning my integrity.
but seriously i really am guai. now im in a moral dilemma. to pon or not to pon (assuming i am better tmr of course [always good to have an escape route, in case teachers really read blogs]). . go to school tomorrow, chiong lit assignment+ chem tutorial in 2 hrs with a stomachache, or stay at home and bore myself playing dota. hmmm. what a difficult decision.

Wanna see ur facial expression change?
Relative to my sister, i eat fast. which becomes a problem when we eat out, cos i get bored. which leads my thoughts to roam realms unimaginable. anw heres the latest instalment of things that arent even funny. =)
So once upon a time, in the plains of faraway England, there lived a young horse. as this young steed (who was rather vain) gazed at his reflection in the water bucket one day, he found himself most dissatisfied with his snout. 'its short and stubby! how am i supposed to find a girlfriend like this (mares generally find long snouts attractive)' so being most unhappy about it, he went about looking for ways to extend his snout. he tried all sorts of things. first he offered to plough the land, walking backwards. then he asked his fellow horses to clamp his face between their rumps, and he pulled backwards with all his might. he even asked his friend the wolf to bite (gently) and pull. however all that didnt work, even after a few months hard work. so he was upset, and slipped into depression. permanently. and thats the end. (what a sad story)
anw. the morale of the story is
Why pull a long face?

'its short and stubby! how am i supposed to find a girlfriend like this (mares generally find long snouts attractive)' so being most unhappy about it, he went about looking for ways to extend his snout. he tried all sorts of things. first he offered to plough the land, walking backwards. then he asked his fellow horses to clamp his face between their rumps, and he pulled backwards with all his might. he even asked his friend the wolf to bite (gently) and pull. however all that didnt work, even after a few months hard work. so he was upset, and slipped into depression. permanently. and thats the end. (what a sad story)
anw. the morale of the story is

Tale as old as time
lol weiren sent me disney songs ytd^^. well not really songs, apparently more of ripped-off audios from the videos. haha still rox though. lol its like subutex for going to fairytaleland. well his songs have dramatically altered the composition of my dramatically small playlist. since its on virtually all the time, theres gonna be less of westlife and other half-angsty songs ingrained into my subconsciousness, and more of disney-ish stuff. great i can be a happy goober now.
ah yes the glorious/not-so-glorious days of childhood. i wonder how much of us should be living in it. lol okay actually i can remember only bits of pieces from the disney videos time. but still. its like the african forest in HoD (quite unlike the lion king version =p). silent and imposing and always there.
anw. today was nice i guess. econs tutorial was stupid to a small extent, but its still stupid lol. and vadi, phang and leonard how combined make good comedy. unintentionally, on phangs part. lol. went sks bookshop to look for bs material. lol they seem to have everything except something we can decide on ><. but its a happy place ^^. lol seriously theres a..nice atmosphere there, for lack of a better word to describe it. and now im stoning =p. again.
following xrs good example, i have decided that after this weekend i shall stop playing dota till promos. at least i shall stop playing pubs without friends. then i can sort of start mugging. ><. and if i dont keep my word may i be bitten by 10 mosquitoes oO.

Theres some sick pleasure in melancholy
which was probably wad i was feeling most of today yar. today reminded me(again) of how doing nothing is more draining than doing something. how strange, i was stoning for >an hr in the canteen, falling asleep during chem lecture(sort of) but then evening came and things were suddenly brighter. and for the past few hrs ive been bloody hyper. maybe its PW. but what ive been doing since 9 is walking around the room(in circles) for about 5 mins, coming back to the comp, playing minesweeper (132 lol!), flipping through the mass/mess of notes on the table, maybe typing a sentence or two (if im feeling up to it), then rinse and repeat. which explains why i took 3 hrs to type 400 words. anw pw has to be done in the middle of the night, or it wont feel right.
btw. from doing eom i can conclude that pw is really not about creativity, or teamwork, or any of that bullshit. seriously it actually hampers creativity. all it is is forcing students to do some weird subject with no basis, and then fulfill some weird shit requirements that was crapped up by some weirdos in moe (and dont even make sense). and they make u follow all the stupid guidelines. dont state this, no marks, dont link that, no marks, dont explain to the guy like hes some pri sch kid oso no marks. they just..create their own marking criteria. and it doesnt even make sense lol. as jai singh likes to say, ' we go by their rules and play their game lah okay'. err or something like that. the point is its yet another pathetic attempt at 'revamping' the education system, but perhaps the worst one yet(and ever). lol heres an analogy. its like doing botox injections. u see botox, u just inject, in the end the woman has a swollen face. lol okay neil humphreys says blogs are spaces for free expression, but instead of flaming the pap why not bitch about eom and moe.
lol oh right now i remember why i was feeling crappy most of the day. twas vadi announcing the start of stress season. =(. haha okay i don wanna think about it, write about it or do anything about it.
