music: story of my life - smash mouth
Haha. Bayley won dramafeste last night! Leon was great, but the script was even better even though the judges were like so totally "ugh, seen it all before" towards it. I mean, a great actor in play of shit, can go as far as shit. Agreed? :) Haha. Even though we didn't got nominated for like.. hardly anything, we won best play, and that's all that matters XD XD XD good job everyone including jotham-who-freaks-me-out :D
and nabil and the hullett people were all very sad :( so cheer up :D
but next year bayley shall own again!
yayy.
i shall have a special handwritten (lefthanded, duh) post on 13th august. if you do projects on *related-stuff* like KC, please, please KC keep your mouth shut about what's so special on 13th august. :) ok? Find out more when the date approaches. Or if you take lit and can see huge foreshadowing, keep your mouth shut too :) So that at least there's some tiny bit of novelty when the time comes. :P

Music: throw it on me - timbaland
Finally I'm back to blogging ;) I haven't posted in a long long while except for that ridiculously short post yesterday while waiting for 3dsmax9 to download. So anyway, this post shall be one free of bitchy rants, red-hot fires of flaming. But anyway i've submitted 3 poems for Foyles (lol Geoffrey the enthu litra-er submitted 15 =.="). Yah so I submitted The Hate List, Ticking Time and Just thinking about it makes me hungry (My double cheeseburger sonnet XD) So let's hope I get more than a Foyles Poetry Anthology this year! (fat hope :P)
It has come to my attention that I actually have regular visitors! :D Yayyy :) :) :) I have more motivation to blog more :) And also I got good remarks from Ms Chew about my english portfolio posts for term 2 (now is like.. almost term 4 HMM xD) so I'm doubly happy. And df is tonight, and I hope bayley win!! Good luck to Leon and Jotham-who-freaks-me-out and all the rest of the cast and crew! Prove that you are the Greatestest show on earth, even better than morrison yayyyyy :D :D :D :D
Ok anyway. Do this random test! It's extremely easy to cheat, so try and do everything subconciously :) Oh ya. Its also very easy to like be doing one thing and saying something else, yah be honest and your results will be
My answers are in italics, but I have no idea why I'm putting them there, you've got hardly any business with my affairs!
Imagine the centre of your back is itching. Which hand do you scratch it with? left
# Interlock your fingers. Which thumb is uppermost? left
Imagine you are applauding. Start clapping your hands. Which hand is uppermost? left
Wink at and imaginary friend straight in front of you. Which eye does the winking? left i can hardly close my right eye hmm..
Put your hands behind your back, one holding the other. Which hand is doing the holding? left
Someone in front of you is shouting but you cannot hear the words. Cup your ear to hear better. Which ear do you cup? left i think my left ear is stronger or something. my music sounds softer in my right ear. oh no!
#Count to three on your fingers, using the forefinger of the other hand. Which forefinger do you use? right
Tilt your head to one shoulder. Which shoulder does it touch? left
# Fixate a small distant object with your eyes and point directly at it with your forefinger. Now close one eye. Now change eyes. Which eye was open when the fingertip remained in line with the small object? (when the other eye, the non-dominant one, is open and the dominant eye is closed, the finger will appear to move to one side of the object.)right
Fold your arms. Which forearm is uppermost?left
For every question, add 10% to your left or right handedness haha.
I'm supposedly 80% left handed and 20% right handed. Haha. whatever.
But here's some debatable issues.
#1 The thumb thing.. after trying out the test on about 6 clueless right-handed classmates, all of them have their left thumbs in front. So this is kind of rubbishy XD and no one that I've tried the test on has had his right thumb in front. Which goes to show how lousy that test is.
#2 About the counting thing.. how does pointing with your left hand make you more left handed. In fact it should be the opposite, since your left hand is supposed to have increased dexterity. Ehh my right hand fingers can hardly bend upwards independantly. lol whatever.
#3 Um in my opinion dominant eyes and hands are not actually very related, since there are heterozygous people who are cross dominant. ie. righthanded and left eyed or V.V. which is pretty normal.
Anyway, here's a tribute to all ambis and lefties, cos we're special-ler than 85% of the rest of the world! Yayyyy

it's you i live for everyday; everyday - HILLSONG!
just a random thought.. what's the point of setting your msn status to away when the "show what i'm listening to" thing shows you like.. blatantly listening to a song :D unless you're seriously away, something's wrong with you :D wait, that doesn't make sense. haha. interesting :) i'm being too lazy to keep tapping the stupid caps lock key, (OOOH OMG thats so stupid and cool: caps LOCK KEY =.=") so for all fine english connoisseurs, such as Mr Leon Lau, please excuse me. I have LOADS more typing to do cos theres a stupid RE report to do, and there's a chinese CCT on wednesday. fantastic. FANTASTIC. crap.
haiya. i can't wait for this crappy week to be over.
oh great.
i just realised, next week is even worse. yay :D
not sure if there is a test wait i go check.
(time passes)
ARGH!
THERES SS TEST NEXT TUESDAY, BIO LIT AND CHEM TEST IN WEEK 8 AND ANOTHER MATHS CCT IN WEEK 10 >:(
"and theres no respite for the defense!" -
oh well.
i had a relatively bad training today too :( the new shoes felt super, SUPER weird, even though its the same model and size as my sky blue pair (this one's green and grey like benyap's). and also i changed my grip from the
great.
so lets see.
i need to to RE report tonight. study for chinese tomorrow night &after cep&during wednesday's free period. and lets see. ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH.
"stress" :) <-- a mega-ironic oxymoronic phrase right there!
i think i rocked the maths test today :P
and i made a new discovery. lots of people can write with their left hands. including me! :D

music: the sharpest lives - my chemical romance
Haha we had a lot of free periods this week thanks to our english and lit teacher getting dengue and our maths teacher going to bishan gym for nationals. anyway, we had double pe on friday, and we won the soccer game 3-2 :D our underdog team won with brilliant goals and fantastic execution of operation maternity dress :) our team comprising unwanted players such as douglas, felix, geoffrey, jon shin etc. were up against the much stronger team with clement, joseph, clinton, kakiong etc.
Our goals came from a nice run and finish by Matthias, a stunning (I mean really stunning. Everyone was stunned that he scored) free kick from Geoffrey and the best goal that I ever scored besides scoring from a goal kick in primary 6 :) We got a free kick after Ka Kiong handballed and their whole team made a line in front of their goal. I aimed at the gap between their heads and the crossbar, and miraculously, it went in :) And what makes it sweeter is that it went over Paul's head, yes, Paul, he who tried to psych up my team by creating trouble by intentionally sliding into me even though I got 2 hands on the ball. ><
But anyway, operation maternity dress was a huge success!
it's an inside thing, you won't get to hear our secret routines of operation maternity dress.
but duckless you rock :D
hahaha.
i shouldn't have let in the 2 goals, but still, I scored one with that super cool left foot free kick so I am happy happy happyyyy

and where's my LIGHT LUNCH?
besides contemplating eating the lightbulbs, I could see no other form of "light lunch" as promised by the lit teachers. in fact, this weird-guy-who-i-do-not-recognise gave us a plastic contained filled with berries, nuts and fruit! ms edelweiss yong disappeared with the contained and reappeared with a container filled with extremely appetizing AIR!
haiya. spent the 1.5 hours discussing mice and men... at first i was ok and feeling hyper, but then hunger took over, and i was like .............................. haha. and jotham freaks me out. he's not only the pint-size guy who busted a hole in my brother's old cello, but he's like Leon times 2! argh! argh! but anyway I took about 4 SIA post-its worth of notes, so I didn't entirely waste my time mulling over the mystery of the missing food.
lol. according to benyap, i'm now the angry angsty dunno what who likes soft toys. I don't exactly care, and haix. ok anyway I personally feel that the world is a dystopia and removal of certain unsavoury objects (i'm being extremely specific huh) will make my world a very much happier one. Soft Toys are cute and still are cute :) and they're better than pets cos they don't bite you and are furry and cute :) :) Ok. Full stop. Discussion stops here on my part.
I've been doing re report, but i need to make another checklist :(
to remind me what work i need to do.
[ ] study for maths cct on monday
[ ] study for chinese cct on wednesday

music: lovestoned/think that she knows - justin timberlake
lovestoned is super catchy :D and I like the cool video with the graphic equaliser and all. But anyway, I feel super, super SUPER stone today. School today was very nearly a complete waste of my precious, priceless time. We had bio, chinese, free period, recess, free period, free period (re was cancelled), lunch and then the talk by the us ambassador. Fantastic. If the US ambassador wasn't there, I could have gone home at 10, and even if she did come, I could have gone home and then walked back to school since my house is like.. how close to school? Lol.
Anyway bio was gory but gorily fun. We dissected ikan kunings, and norman mercilessly used the sharp scissors and sliced off the blood red fish gills. :X Oh ya we got to touch goat lungs, and some people got to inflate it with their breath :P haha. But dissecting is pretty scary. :X :X :X like murdering someone. X_X
Haha my chinese is having a sudden surge of proness :P After winning a seemingly insignificant merit award in the chinese zuowen competition, I found out that my bishan project which, in my opinion, sucks but rocks compared to some others, was zhan2lan3-ed at the hml as a supposedly good mother tongue project for this week's utterly exciting mother tongue week festivities :D :D ooh! Maybe I can get 5 more "culture" CA points so I won't have to go for some other boring lecture or whatever :P :P I'M EXCITED!
whatever.
i took some more photos too. a few random photos of cloudy skies, 2 more photos of another random cat at the void deck (I GOT REALLY CLOSE AND IT DIDN'T RUN AWAY (: YAY!) and one my ultra messy desk that I just took after finishing a long, tiring maths mugging session :( :( I got up to page 2 of the 4 page log/exponential functions/equations supplimetary exercise thing and gave up for tonight cos I'm falling asleep and can't really concentrate. And the words just STARE at you and you immediately don't feel like doing anything anymore.
well, the lns are going to have to find some other person to entertain them.
and my neeon needs a rest.
geoffrey and benyap lets go cycling somewhere exciting :D i don't feel like walking. hehe.

you know something, if you're going to fine people $000 for riding in the clarke quay underpass, then maybe you could save a little tape and get rid of the NO and the $000 so you get like.. RIDING FINE. haha. i can't find this sign anymore.. must be the government's excellent maintainence work!

Don't Download This Song - Weird Al
Yay. I feel pretty confident about chem even though most of my answers were like weird.. like 53.3% percentage purity? and 1.08 x 10^22 molecules of the aspirin thing. haha. i think the 'open book' part was quite useless cos i could do it all without open book :D haha mrs kua was annoyed with me for using a purple pen, but i have no other pen besides my red pen and my orange pen! :) i bought 2 purple refills by accident :D:D i thought it looked black, but nooo it was the official gay/norman color! haha.

+ive = blue>green>yellow>red>brick red ppt
-ive = blue
test for starch
sample + iodine
+ive = blueblack
-ive = yellow
test for lipids/fats/oils
sample+2cm3 ethanol+shake = ethanol dissolved (sol bcomes transparent)
+ive = white emulsion + heat evolved
-ive = no white emulsion + heat evolved
test for protein
2cm3 sample + 1cm3 NaOH; shake+ stand for 1 min
2-3 drops of CuSO4 solution

the sepia series and much much more
uploaded my latest flickr installment The Sepia Series to flickr yay. So far I've only chosen 5 or 6 (? not sure) to upload cos i'm quite sure the rest are not close to average and are like.. totally random and ugly. yup. go see if you're bored xD.
ok anyway cep was super super fun today :D we continued on our living rooms but this time, we had to make our own models of furniture that we were supposed to have downloaded from the internet. i modelled all my furniture myself and didn't download any so it was fun. now i have a self-made sofa and a super
ok another serious matter, today for assembly we had a briefing on subject options in RJC. nothing unusual, and the guy was pretty funny, keeping us entertained with his frequent pronunciation errors, but he seems like a nice guy :D only thing is he can't really tell the difference between mother tongue and mother thoung. XD. But anyway, the subjects there are like.. well.. some of them are just plain notforme!! like China Studies. Yes, China Studies. Well never mind. :)
haha. So far, I'm not sure if I want to take lit cos it's kind of a drag after a while, especially when you keep working to perfect your answers, grab the key points of romeo and juliet and go, find out what oedipus rex' tragic flaw is and throw the book aside, and so on. That's lit. We seem to be appreciating the texts less and less for their writing merits like we used to in lower sec, and the texts are basically no different from bio textbooks where you just mug the key points, key quotes... yeah so what if you need to be good at probing the storyline and reading between the lines. Haha. well, see if I change my mindset towards lit for now. But currently, lit is like weird.
:)
so anyway i'm not sure but maybe i'll take urm.. maths, chem, english or lit, econs, gp, chinese and pw. thats how many units ah.. 1, 2, 3, 4......... please wait while my immense maths genius computes the number of subject units... ooh it's 11 units yay. ok that was bad.

Flirting with pain
Yay ok here's my 2nd post (1st, officially!) for today :D My left leg is still feeling weird. Like occasionally it's numb and other times it just feels weird. Yay. Now I have a really injured leg which means I do much without feeling getting some weird sensation in my leg. *Great* Haha. Ive been making interesting discoveries so far. Like how much easier it is to take good photos than to draw something nice. :) Haha. Not like my photos are that good, but it's better than nothing. Yay. With no photowhores inside. I pride myself in having a purely artistic Flickr account :D
Ok so I did some of the RE report already, finished the chem assignment 3, so yay nothing to do. Haha.
8:43:00 PM
searing pain has a new definition
pain! pain! argh :( my left thigh is like.. burning. haha not sure how else to describe it, except that it hurts a lot and has been hurting since after morning assembly, and it didn't help that I was stuck in long pants for the whole day until 3.30, and going for squash after that was worst. But i did quite well during training, so I'm happy :D :D Haha. I won 2 consecutive 2v1 matches against sec2s haha so ya. But my leg is dying argh argh :X :X
Ok.
I shall blog later maybe. I need to do RE report, and the pain in my leg is not helping.

random and quick update before i scoot off to watch the rest of the wimbledon final
random updates!
one. update flickr and sidebar so that more/nicer photos can be seen :D
2. update links; if you desperately want to be linked, then tag!
tiga; right now, the wimbledon final score is 6-7 6-4 :D nadal's not getting thrashed! hooray
cuatro: my blogging english is getting bad haha.
五: WIMBLEDON!! off i go.

One Way
youth rally was fun!
haha woke up at 11+ then went straight to church only stopping by 7-11 to buy lemon barley and lemon tea 500ml bottles (discount :D). Besides that, I was brought my normal water bottle and later, they gave us 2 more bottles @_@. Hahahaha.
Anyway, we were split up into groups ooh. Our group was given the glamourous name Lays. As in not the Lays in Layshide, but the potato chips. Haha there were lamer names like M&Ms and Kit Kat so haha. Lol so I guess they were lazy or something so our group was the same as the majodi camp group except this time there was this extra guy, some Peter or something like that ya. Haha. Makes me wonder, if he had gone for the camp, maybe our group would have been different in some way (raises eyebrow) but nvm he's not like some ultra-vilent drug-dealer knife-wielding pai-kia so yeah :)
Haha.
We played a weird but nevertheless meaninglessly fun game, and later drew a cool picture XD ours was the best! ours was the best! yay! yayyy!
hmm after that we went off to expo in this stupidly random bus of IRONY. Ok the bus was this super old medium sized bus (the slightly-bigger-than-minibus kind), and the windows can still be opened. :O In this present age of airconditioning, if a bus windows can open, you can tell its from centuries ago. Lol and the railings (they put some on the other side of the windows,
(makes the hugest T_T face ever)
Ok anyway, at expo we spent the whole night slacking/doing random stuff etc. hahahaha. found mark and lenny too. and sampson (although he didnt see me :P) and some sean guy that I don't really know from track who played squash with me at rgs during ORA day. haha. random.
This is a great weekend :D :D :D
Theres no homework that needs to be rushed, Venus Williams just won Wimbledon and, although Andy Roddick lost to Gasquet :@, I'm feeling happy and random! Yay!
Oh ya, I can't get full marks for my Maths log TA anymore since I didn't know how to express the thing in terms of y, but I'll probably get the first and last qn correct so I'm happy and excited. Yay.

10:24:00 PM
Utterly random.
Yay. After such a long while, I can finally relax and write a nice long blog post without rushing off to do some stupid major assignment or another. Now that both ERP and CRP is safely left to rot in Ms Chew's possesion :P, I can relaxx! Haha. Funny thing, in blogs, time is a hardly expressed entity. Anyway, I'm feeling very hot here, so I'll go move the laptop somewhere where a fan can blow in my face..
five minutes later; xD
Ok anyway, my Neeon is dying on me. argh. it's not even a hard drive problem. The scroller is sort of stuck in some awkward angle, so I effectively need to use lots of effort to scroll down and, (here's the big part) to scroll up, I've got to scroll all the way down till I reach the "top". Kind of stupid. Oh yes. The scroll-up function has magically metamorphosized (wow, alliteration!). Now, when I scroll up, I jump somewhere and select! Yayy!
Ok haha. That was stupid and random. Anyway, I'm in deep contemplation on whether to buy an 4gb nano or some new creative model... T_T. The 4gb nano is currently $349 @_@, and the Zen Microphoto (the one i wanted before they conveniently ran out of stock and I bought a neeon) is $189. For 8 gig. But doesn't look that nice, but hey! I won't have to be worried about any scroller malfunction cos there is no scroller! muahahahaha. At least no sticking-out scroller. Heh.
Today was a fun day. During PE, we played soccer, yay! Our team was made out of soccer relatively-noobs: Geoffrey, Jeffrey and Douglas. The only guy who could actually kick a ball in the same direction twice in a row besides me was Jon Shin xD. Haha, BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT guess whattttt!!! We beat every single team yay!
First match we played against Li Young, Paul, Joseph, Ka Kiong, and some others. Basically everyone who could play soccer who was not "conveniently absent from school". But with our ingenious defensive tactics, we held them to a draw and beat them on penalties!! Yay. We did the same to the other, noobier team. Then we played against Li Young's team again and we beat them after about 30 seconds with a "where-did-that-come-from" goal from Jon Shin. Haha. And then we played Ben Yap's noober team and were defending like crazy but we drew. But we would have won the penalty shootout!! Considering I was feeling pretty confident after saving 4 penalties already :D :D :D Yay. Today was a good day.
Haha. Training was ok too. My squash racket felt like a badminton racket after playing tennis twice over the 5 day weekend xD but after a while it was ok, but I'm pretty unfit now, and I struggled to win in all my matches. 6-9 10-8 9-7 against Yikang, 10-9 against Yee Shing and a 9-10 loss to Michael. Lol. But hey I shall emulate Ben Low's obs spirit and be enthuboy and go for all the trainings that I can yay.

Deadbeat Express
Here's another post to pull out this dying blog from its grave. A quick one before I start on CRP though.. :( I can't find the time to do nice long story-ey posts so um.. don't blame me, yeah ;) Guess what. My neeon is giving problems AGAIN! Argh! This time, the scroller is stuck in some stupid position, so i can scroll down, randomly select, or randomly jump somewhere and select. None of these options are very savoury. Lala.
Oh ya. CRP.

a golden title for a priceless revival
yay. after a multiple day hiatus, i'm backkkk. haha. I shall not attempt to make this blog like junsean's "historical documents" (as described by shikaye T_T) lala. ok I haven't posted for a while so I need some warm up time to get into my usual wordiness haha. This post has a remarkably sporadic punctuation standard. Haha. Who cares.
Ok I shall start with a brilliant topic sentence.
"I have not been up to much during the 5 day holiday except playing tennis, tennis, sleeping and no squash xD"
Yay, but my tennis is surprisingly quite good considering I don't have a coach, don't take tennis lessons. haha. I just learn from what I watch on TV. Maybe I can join tennis in rj haha. Haha. Haha. (continues in silent laughter).
My squash is screwed.
Thats all folks!
I don't feel like blogging any more. Maybe tomorrow xD xD
(shrugs and smiles :) "tired")
