havent had time to update links, blog everything.
i changed my mind.
im taking 9 sbjs.
either:
BIO, CHEM LIT
or
BIO, PHYS LIT.
bio is a must! i guess.
out of the 3 sciences,
IT ROX =)
i hope somebody will come join me with this sbj combi. if i end up all alone in this spastic class with stupid stuck up idiots.. which is not probably, but yeah.. i hope not. but im worried that there might just not be enough people to make up a class. if i just take a look at all 6 GEP classes, i don't think there're 15 people that want to take Lit nex yr..

review time =)
dramafeste reviews:
friday night
rating system based on play as a whole
A+: excellent
A: very good
B+: good
B: ok..
B-: bleah. not too good.
-- i hope no one goes below these --
starting off with.
the emcees:
barely audible, didnt look like they were having much fun. a far cry from wai kit and akesh from last year's dramafeste. no entertainment factor at all. bleah.
buckley:
don't, directed by yewei
i personally think it was much too slow, and draggy, whenever the psychaitrist and Jonathan were talking, it was like... bleahh. not much emotion, was there? only when they drifted into their memories, there was finally some show of emotion. Yewei was basically cameo-ing all the way, and regrertfully, he shouldn't have; he was the one with the most.. entertainment factor.
lighting was plain, nothing special. most of the time, it was just basic 70%+ - white light cast on most of the stage. rather like what a normal light would do in a classroom, only dimmer.
props were ok, except for the black boxes, which were a very good use of them, to represent variosu locations and things.
rating: B-
so sorry, yewei..
hullett:
before lesson one
directed by daniel sim
so.. this was basically a play set out to show the shadows of last year's comedy spree Moo, this and That, BUT with the intention to add a little more drama in the plot. this doctor grapples with his past, in a rather confusing way; i didnt actually get the fact that the patient2 (dr greg), played by walter, was actually the past of dr gregory, played by anish. so it was kinda confusing.. i was like.. huh are they the same? no.. one greg one gregory.. ?!?!
there werent many props involved, which is commendable, because they managed to do the whole thing with just a desk and two beds, and not to mention the 2 lt seats. the stage hands only had, basically, one set change, and that was it. (note to conan: mebbe u want to take note of this?)
lighting was ok.. they just toyed around with different shades of white, the RGB wasnt touched at all. Except for the part where Anish kept opening and shutting the OHP, which was irritating, the lights were not a major factor, because unlike Buckley's play, where the plot is so slow that you find yourself looking around at the stage, Hullett's was much more captivating and humourous for anyone to care about the lights.
Rating: A
Mrs Smith would be proud.
moor:
because
directed by j. auyong.
personally, i had only knew about auyong as the debater, and not the dramatist, so this play would be a new.. twist?
the plot was basically quite stale, things like this are rampant on channel 8 serials, you see little helpless boys getting bullied in school everywhere. adding.. well, actually, removing a leg from the equation would just be one extra detail, except this time, the medication for the guys leg led to the loan sharks and everything.
i thought the ensemble bit was good, but i am still in shock
i am like.. oh my **** that was what we planned to happen to shylock. omg. now how? we cant go on becauase that would be too blatant, dammit. EVEN THE LIGHTING WAS THE @#$# SAME AS WE PLANNED!
just goes to show how cliched things can be. BLEAH
the lighting was not bad, it cycled between red, white and spotlight. the props, which were probably rotting inside, was so old and reused from last year, they score for recycling contest. haha.
Rating: B
Falling short of Hullett;
improve the script and it could have challenged Hullett's charge for the top.
RATINGS AFTER DAY 1
1. Hullett
2. Moor
3. Buckley

101th post
yay
magic number 101
although it should have been.. 300+ already since my flagship.. blog had around 250 posts before it was abandoned due to safety reasons.
rj seems so close, seeing that its only a few more months before we become sec 3s, and a few more months after that we're sec4s and before you know it, we're in RJ.
i just realised
by that time RJ wont be new anymore!
everything will be used, misused, abused..
so we will basically enter this junky dirty school
bleah.
i hope not.
great. i also have to figure out what cca i want to join. i am NOT joining squash.
guess whos the teacher in charge? Mrs Chan (.....)'s HUSBAND.
I mean.
Quote our Captain Kenneth
"What a Match made in Heaven".
Both Mr and Mrs Chan teach Maths and are in charge of squash.
o_O freaky.
bleah. what should i join...
there isnt anything fantastically nice..
haix.
time BETTER go by so slowly.

i can now write immaculately with my left hand on whiteboards where its nice and smooth, and i can write fairly well with ballpt. pens on paper..
i can really write properly with irritating Pilot pens yet..
guess i need to practice more.. haha. writing AaBbCcDdEe.... on paper is a very interesting process =) well, if you learnt to write using your right hand (in kindergarten, don't tell me your words were perfect either!) i dont see why you cant write with your left hand with loads of practice hmm.
even dominant right handers can try right..
which reminds me. any right handed ppl who arent ambidextrous and cannot write for nuts want to join me and conan (he says he'll MOST PROBABLY join my re group for next year) AND can dedicate at least 1hr every day of writing practice for a few months pls inform me. thx =)
some scientific crap for re..
hmm..
gah. swimming was lame.
we treaded water, i couldnt really do the one with 1 hand cos a certain barry who was next to me was busy pushing water into my mouth while he was treading.
oh well.
every man for himself.
no prob. =.='
all i can say is
the swimming pool water tastes like lemonwater.

bleah.
the stress seems to be building.. i cant find much really relaxing free time.
went to the park to hang around the cool spaceweb thing..
basically its a complex rope structure that seems to hold together, and people climb like theres no tomorrow.
actually there is, but its a figure of speech.
oh well.sigh.
spent the evening hanging around with this cute p4 guy called Zakir.. oh well. haha apparently i can jump onto the roof of this.. hmm.. abt 1.5m tall plastic house. its damm fun if you're apprently the only one in the whole playground who can do it, and this girl who keeps pestering me to spin her on this spinning thing..
SO SPIN HER I DID.
i spun her until she was so dizzy that she sat in there and sat and stoned in there for a good 10 minutes.
And guess what.
After that she came up to me and was like..
"SPIN ME AGAIN"
argh.
Zakir and I came up with this interesting challenge for tt weird girl apparently her name is Angelina. lol. anw. We challenged her to write something with her left hand arha cos i can and Zakir can cos he's left handed.
arha.
if she failed.
no more spinning
ahahah
i think she was pretty pissed.
but i guess those egypt people who made those cave paintings on the inner side of the pyramids would do well to hire her as a resident artist. Apparently she excels at drawing hieroglyphics.. hmm..

4:41:00 PM
LOL. its in caps
Tsui is sooooo naive.
Just because your hand is bigger does NOT make you a better goalkeeper. Neither is SIZE a big advantage.
Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi is so much SMALLER than someone.. say John Filan, but i am 100% sure that the general public can see who's better. KAWAGUCHI! John Filan conceded a goal from a Rooney BACKHEEL in Wigan's 4-0 drubbing, dammit.
You may have scored 1 goal from a goal kick (no, no dont lie and increasing your goal tally, your blog says A GOAL) whilst i have 3! CONSISTENCY!
Dont delude yourself, lol.
Also, I play better in outfield positions, fullstop. You may THINK you shoot better and farther and whatever, but all your talk is empty, cos YOU CLAIM TO BE SO GOOD, BECAUSE YOU READ BOOKS ON SOCCER!
i mean. oh my ****, that means i'm as good as antti niemi because i read his autobiography.
so.
soccer is mine, period.
and i AM TALLER. you can go check it out. how tall are you?

11:01:00 PM
go me!
just a recap.
the ultimate showdown
me vs tsui.
tsui:
# chess (fine)
# stick sports (also fine)
# fifa (yeah yeah)
# SOCCER (NO. i contest. i own tsui anytime. later i shall turn the tables and make it a strength of mine!
# out of sch activities (wanna bet? interhouse softball, interhouse joga3 and more, so dont make unfounded conclusions)
# TMOV (IM SURE THATS A STRENGTH. AND THE POSTER HASNT BEEN APPROVED, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO REDO IF CONAN IS NOT SATISFIED.)
thats 3 points.
i already have four.
# ambidextrosity (btw writing with your elft hand is dam fun!)
# racket sports
# soccer squads
# softball.
and heres MORE.
# goalkeeping.
vs Tsui:
Reflexes: Me
Agility: Me
Horizontal Size: Tsui, but that doesnt really count.
Height: Me, by 1cm
Flexibility: Me lol, quite obvious, right?
so. whats there to question.
# outfield positions in soccer
I'll have you know, Tsui, that I can kick with both feet unlike you, although i only recently discovered i can write quite ok with my left hand :) I can basically shoot properly in any position, lol.
also, i have a rather great record in primary sch, could that be a basis for conclusion? I can even score from goal kicks, dont even need to run up. I scored 3! Ask Barry!
# like.. artistic..ness
ya duh. i can draw better than tsui, unless the person judging is either a neo classisist, a cubist, or picasso.
zzz. thats 7-3 already! WHAT LEAD?
btw its so cool, jie hao is ambi too!

heh.
i see a lengthy disucussion about dom lo and other weird things have been going on while my com has been undergoing irritating reformatting.. still no maple cos i jus got the com back and im not downloading it yet. cant be bothered, actually, cos as a present for getting back his file by tediously begging history teachers to get the humanities room key and opening it and getting back his file during my precious recess: ben lee offered to train me 10 lvls wow.
ok, so ms chuah got the key for me cos mr shahrom was not there.
resourceful right????
sigh.
oh yeah.
all my other files and screens and all are still in a cd.. so i cant update the screen can i....? well, maybe i can get a screen off basilmarket, they have some nice screens, but it WONT BE ORIGINAL RIGHT???
so.
more hype on tsui's passionate discussions of his talents and skills escalating. he practices chess for how long each day..? as far as i know his only worthy opponent is chessmaster.. that is so old, btw, and when i was primary 4, i was beating chessmaster.. um.. the 3rd or 4th skill lvl.. whatever that is.
comparing myself to tsui, i have a LOT of headway.
really.
i just discovered.
im taller than him. by 1 cm. woot.
so.
#1 tsui is overdominantly right handed.
i rock. i just discovered im somewhat ambi.
i can write with my left hand legibly, i can kick with my left foot and i can play squash with my left hand, although the power sux.
1-0 to me =)
#2 i can honestly beat him at any racket sport.
squash, badminton, tennis you name it. dare challenge me at anything?
2-0
#3 i can own tsui at naming soccer squads. yayy
except for netherlands.
i think they're lousy overconfident and... lousy!
3-0
#4 i own him hands down at softball. hooray.
4-0.
bryan: if you think 4-0 is too much
submit your entries at things you can beat me in and ill address them one by one.
you could still win..
maybe not.
writing with your left hand is fun =). legibly. and then looking at other people's desperate attempts is even better.
i have more to add, but i just thought id save my blog from death first.

10:32:00 PM
mood: pretty mad.
bleah.
let me narrate this crapped up incident in the most relaxed and unsubjective language as possible.
so.
lets begin.
coach asked us to go in and play with the sec 1s, so yeah, it was my turn and i was against dominic lo. apparently he plays tennis, and yeah, he whacks quite hard.
so.
the ball hit the frame of his racket, and i was somewhere slacking around at the back of the court. so i um.. sprinted like mad after the ball and lunged at the last step, so i managed to slice the ball crosscourt =) hooray.
so.
i was like.. sitting at the side wall slacking around, cos i kinda figured dominic lo would just play a straigh drive and finish the fricking rally. but NO.
the whole court was open. except for like.. me, a solitary insignificant figure crumpled at the side wall, feeling sick and sleepy. dominic lo could have done like.. a million types of shots. forehand drive. backhand drive. slice drop, topspin drop, sidespin drop, at least fricking touch the ball and kill me, for goodness sake.
but fvck no.
he just had to whack the fvcking ball so fvcking hard into the side ball: apparently he was trying to do a killer backhand boast like kim wee always does.. and fvck i was like.. sitting at the side wall, rmb? so. the fricking ball whacked at about 30 mph...? just a guess. anyway. this ball came to me at this really fast speed STRAIGHT AT MY HAND! so basically my hand is red (still, abt 4.5 hrs after the incident) and it hurts to move it alot.
well.
at least he said sorry.
oh hell.
i just realised.
one more cm and it would have hit my head.
THAT WOULD BE BAD!
argh.
im kinda pissed.
spas.

shopping
haha went to art friend at taka with conan and paul..
was supposed to meet at the orchard control station with paul, but i couldnt see anyone in the crowd.. then some guy tapped me and was like.. "hi are you looking for some guy by the name of conan?"
well, i didnt see that guy in my life.
but then i saw conan's dad walking behind, so i guess he wasnt some guy pushing drugs =X
so we went to art friend =) crapped ard and realised the fricking scriptwriters were so bleddy blunt and unimaginative. i mean. THE WHOLE WORLD CANNOT STAND TRADITIONAL SHAKESPEARE MADE INTO A PLAY ANYMORE! MOVE ALONG!
so anw.
we were there, and made this new script, yeah it sounds kind of like animal farm or something, everyone is supposed to be equals in their own aspect, but it comes down to the joint cheifs of staffs doing the dirty, sweaty and crazy work.
so we bought a lot of mahjong paper for use on the backdrop, a nice cardboard container, to act as, "jessitia's jewellry box" and even some girly pink wrapping paper.
and.
for use on the samsonites:
gold spray paint.
silver spray paint.
plastic wrap.
and for paul as jessitia:
neon red hairspray.
basically our new idea is since
# there are 2 key scenes btwn scene 5 and 9, namely the caskets and the eloping,
# jessica and portia are mixed.. jessitia, whatever.
# jessitia has lots of suitors, but since shylock the baddie, yeah whatever, enforces the casket thing, and both morroco and arragorn fail
# jessica quickly gets the **** lost because since morroco and arragorn both failed, she kinda knows which casket is the right one..
# so she runs of with dear lorenzinio (yeah, yeah lorenzo and bassanio)
# and the end is the cool mafia kinda thing..
# jessica wears a bandanna, neon red flamey fernando torres hair and listens to punky metal rock, wadever.
the details can come in later.
yeah.
the scriptwriters are basically.
crapped up.
lazy.
unimaginative.
inflexible.
or any combination of the above. =I

my sore throat seems to have more or less stabilised.. not really sure.. i didnt go for training no both thurs and fri cos it was quite bad then.. i cant imagine anyone playing a few strokes then sauntering out of the court to cough like crazy then go back..
luckily you dont use your throat to throw =) that day during pe, my team, paul's one, yeah we suck at cricket, dont kill us by embarrasment, were playing against.. guess who? barry's team!
so when barry was batting i got to um.. bowl against him..
*a side note: don't you find it interesting that softball has "plates" and cricket has "bowls"? What next? "Cups??"
yeah so anw i was bowling against barry so on the first try: we have 2, i tried to do some weird spinning pitch which was kinda adapted from some softball crap in primary school. unfortunately, it went horribly off. So, on the second try, I tried some forward topspin thing, and guess what? The bounce made it look like it was going off course and Barry didn't swing, but aha! There was TOPSPIN! So, the ball spun down and hit the wicket =) YAYYY.
im sorry barry, but im quite happy about my achievement =) pls dun feel bad =X
hmm.
i miss softball.
rugby is so horribly boring

interesting how things turn out.
while on one hand some guy who claims to be this, this, this and more, continues showing off his imaginary skills via his one lined blatant bluffs, the other hand is jam packed with people who are fed up and sick, both physically and mentally, at his unstoppable barrage of things you just dont want to here.
what a shame.
people dont have propellers.
wont if be so much easier to kill them?
all it takes is one hole.
right.
despite the encouragingly high-energy start to conan's MOV production, things are getting tiring, tiring and even more tiring.
heres why.
a certain PRO guy is ABSOLUTELY BENT ON ADVERTISING THE 2 CASKETS, CASKETS, CASKETS, AND CASKETS. But alas, where action is concerned, i doubt the actual product that comes out of it all will look anything like what he intends to generate in our fanatsy lands.
the scriptwriters havent started!
isnt that great!
we are going to put up a five star performance with great posters, great lighting, great sound and A GREAT ABSENCE OF SCRIPT!
haix.
at least things are not as bad as some other classes, who havent even bothered to start..
and.
all stage hands watch out.
under my command.
during rehersals that leon calls for, should be quite a lot, you guys are going to be practicing your great ol' shuttle run. =) under my expert supervision, that is.
i just hate watching plays with poor, slow and lousy transition between scenes. that sucks.
so.
you better not make that happen!!!
conan has high expectations.
dont let the joint cheifs of staff meeting go to waste.

revision, revision!
a squared times b squared is c squared!
sum of exterior angles= 360 always!
one ext. angle in a regular n sided polygon is 360 divided my n!
sum of int. angle in an n sided polygon= n-2 x 180!
one int angle in a regular n sided polygon= n-2 x 180 divided by n!
alternate angles!
vertically opposite angles!
corresponding angles!
internal angles!
angles at a pt!
angles on a line!
whew.
this test seems much easier than term 1 work!
all that crap about factorisation which i was clueless about until recently after cramming for the vital ct!?

hahaz. i still cant get the &nb sp away, hmm wonder why. i cant seem to get a lot of things away recently, tsui seems to be badgering me about one thing or another, and yeah. the idioms thing has taken me 3 hours, but theres a certain satisfaction that comes with finishing a big piece of work and feeling you did a great job. whew, im happy.
haix.
charles grp is so right.
people are certainly much different online than offline.
mad gamers turn thoughtful philosophers with a touch of a few buttons.
quiet people become aggresive mad "bloodyminded" villains rapidly.
well.
thats scary.
imagine what if singapore was all high tech and everything, and we got to go to school by... MSN... =) Wow, how can we ever make friends?! For all you know, the happy, friendly zhi4 tong2 dao4 he2 fren of yours online becomes this rowdy gangsterfreak-like madness inflictor.
oooh, scary.
anothernote: screenshots will be updated fortnightly, i suppose, i dont find much time to take random shots anymore.
btw.
crimson balrogs are scary.
i was walking in ludi happily.
then there was a scarily long lag; it was chnl 10: unusual.
then i saw it.
the crimson balrog.
i tried to run, but it was like.. so lag that i din know how much i got, when to jump etc. etc. and so i was stuck in ludi.
in my spam of buttons, i accidentally pressed ironarrow by accident.
iron arrow is Ctrl. Just next to the left arrow on the laptop.
So.
imagine.
lvl 40 (at that time) crossbowman shoots a lowly lvl 4 iron arrow at a mad raging crog.
well.
the crog shot this huge ball of black weird thing, which looks cool :) and gah, i died. instand 10% loss. great, eh?
MY LUK WAS 4.

THATS 20 MIN. OF PRECIOUS TIME LOST.

after months of anticipation:
here is, finally, a new template!
although it isnt mine.
i think its so nice :)
compared to some other *ahem* hunter *ahem* get my *ahem* msg yet *ahem* which looks, basically, like professional crap. yeahh.
cant get rid of that irritating "nb sp;" right smack in the middle of the screen, oh well.
ive also deleted some stuff, stuff which people have asked my to take down, so yeah, im a nice guy :) seriously. i took them off.
anyway.
stuff to check out for avid maplers is my really RANDOM screenshots of randomness in maple, i dont know why, but i just like to do lame stuff like that.
nigel, i hope u can finally view this page, theres no more javascript as far as im concerned, at least none that i know off.
yeahh.
hahaha.
paul and i have just rejuvinated our lame jokes club.
starting with the following jokes, which are property of the lame jokes club, so pls dont copy.
#1 who is barry's great ancestor, who's really, really hot? *barry didn't mind, we even asked him this joke*
the answer?? Cheng Tng =D
#2 What do you call the ocean liner that Saddam is on? DictatorShip.
#3 A one line caption for our S.Rajaratnam T-Shirt which my grp designed: "Without Mr R (rajaratnam), this SHIRT would be just SHI T.
#4 Which Middlesbrough player loves eating pasta? Massimo Maccarone (pronouced Macaroni: really.)
haha im lame.
i admit it.
but.
at least i have much more creativity than a certain guy who.. oh, nvm.
it doesnt matter.
the last lame joke to end off this post on the newly reopened, so to speak, blog, its my great 6 line poem which i wrote as an epitaph for a stick figure.
here it is:
