Ok.....

Ok.....

I dunno.

Lots of stupid stuff in the upcoming week. Let's recall.

Monday: English poetry test.

Tuesday: Nothing :DDDDDDD (lol my 7 chins).

Wednesday: Major sadface/angryface/surprised face since there's 2 CCTs and one practical. In one day. Recap - History, Geography, Science Practical.

Thursday: Nothing too

Friday: Submission of English Creative Writing Portfolio - Poetry.

I really don't like poetry. I can't explain. Poetry on its own is fine, I just don't like coming up with poems. It makes my head explode.

(Long awaited?) update

Ok, so I've been under pressure recently to post on this blog. So I am doing it.

For the past few weeks, I don't really feel like posting since I've been doing other stuff.

Anyway, we got back a few tests and I've done ~soso~.

Today, saw that old man sitting at the steps of the MRT station, playing some kind of flute thingy. Again, contemplated whether to give him money, then the light changed, so I crossed the road. Along the way, thought about whether what I had done was right. Next time I'll try to save up and give him money whenever he's there. Feel kind of sorry for him.

Anyway, we got back our marks for our fail history project in which our exhibit looked so....awesome?

2 hours of last minute Andre work > 2 weeks of group work.

Sigh

Fail

Quick post

Hi

Quick post time

This week sucked

Bye

Stop complaining

...

Let's just classify the several groups of people in this world. 

First, theres those who are really good at something, but boast and brag about it and basically be a complete idiot.

Then, theres those who completely suck at something, but they still boast about it like they don't, and basically be even bigger idiots.

Then, theres nice people who are really good at something, but their humble and everyone respects them.

Theres also those who suck at something, but they know they suck and they just get on with life, or try to improve themselves.

Then theres those who are just average who either just keep quiet, or boast.

To me, it's like everyone I know can be classified into one of these six groups.

Rather stupid that my CS/CLE project website is called, imhumble.com (its not up yet :D).

School Holidays

Don't feel like posting much now-a-days. With the threat of H1N1 looming, hanging above like a dark thunderstorm, and MRS LIM LAI CHENG NOT CLOSING THE SCHOOL!

Sigh.

H1N1

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/437803/1/.html 

Look at that BS.

Even though the cases in SG are about 150, and 95% of people who voted on CNA say to EXTEND THE DAMN HOLIDAYS, our dear friend the Health Minister decided for schools to continue as scheduled. :@@@@

Anyway, I've decided to revert back to the old way of typing perfectly (not really perfectly) since I've discovered it really helped a lot in typing my plogs.

Anyway (again) I've completed quite a few of my projects already but there will be the constant nag of studying, mugging....

hay guyz

im back. and ive decided not to bother with posting with kengji style grammer and punctuation.

Danang was kind of ok lah. 80% motorcycles, 19% bicycles and 1% cars.

the trip was kind of disastorous. you'll see why.

Car drivers in Vietnam are srsly crazy. its like one hand on the horn and the other on the gear thingy. epic spam horning. even just coming out of the hotel must horn like xiao.

first day. arrived. foamed in the airport (not really airport. more like "failed attempt to be an airport" airport.) Went to the hotel. Lunch. Sleep until evening. Went to the beach and took random pictures of sunset. Unluckily there was no sun because there were too many clouds.

i just realised that im too into the habit of typing perfectly that im (almost) typing perfectly.

Anyway after taking all sorts of pictures with my fathers new imba 1337 camera, we went back into the hotel. washed up and went for dinner. came back, slept.

next day. after breakfast and shitting and stuff, went to hoi an. srsly hot, a lot more hot and humid than singapore. our original intention was to walk around hoi an and see random stuff. what actually happened was stoning in a cafe for 1 hour because it was so srslysrs hot. didnt have lunch because breakfast was too full lol.

went back to the hotel. washed up, stoned for half an hour, then took a taxi to marble mountain (sounds like marba mountan when the vietnamese say it lol.) walked up the steps to the top, took pictures, went back down again. went back to hotel, stoned, dinner, sleeeeeeeep.

dinner was quite.....interesting. There were 2 eating areas, indoors and outdoors. we were moved to a place outdoors, with the sea breeze and everything. Only problem was, everyone was smoking. we opted to go indoors. we ordered our food. First, the abalone. quite nice. next, the prawns. quite nice. next, the crab. quite nice too. then we waited. and waited. then the waiter came over and said: "im sorry we dont have anymore fish, chicken or beef". 

quite impossible for a restaurant that size to run out of these 3 main foods right?

we had the last plate of  veg, then quickly left. we were all so :@ and D: that our dinner was gone. sigh.

next day. same morning routine which involved me sitting on the toilet reading for about 15 minutes. lol. then took a taxi to ba na mountain, where we were supposed to take a cable car up to the top. the cable car system actually (according to the information provided) set 2 guiness world records for height and length. it was 5 km long and about 1.5km high. quite scary lah.

on the way up it started to rain. it stopped after a while and i continued snapping pictures with my fathers new imba camera. i srsly took infinite bajillion pictures coz its ossumly addicting to spam pics. then it statred to rain even mroe at the top...so much so that they stopped the cable car system. since it was raining, we couldnt take pictures, since the system had stopped, we couldnt go back down.

in other words, we were trapped up there. for about 2 hours. damn sian lah. everyone around was either smoking or stoning. they just unrolled newspapers and picnic mats and started playing cards, while we just stood there, trying to keep away frmo the heavy smoke that hung in the air. once the rain stopped and the car system continued, we took a van further up the mountain, snapped pictures, went back to the cable car station, then rode down.

on the way down, it stopped again. i was like omgwhattheheckishappening. it was srsly damn scary, especially after you've read all those compos about how the cable car stops in mid air....

after a while it continued and i was like HENG SIA. 

we took a taxi back and stoned, dinner, sleep.

Next morning, my father woke me up at 5 to go watch the sunrise, since one of the hotel staff told us that the sun would rise at 5:15. When we left the room at 5:05, the sky was bright. :@. 

We went down to the beach to watch the sun complete its rising. it was already like in the air liao, but extreme bad luck combined with cloudy skies largely prevented us from even seeing the sun. :@

We just stoned for the rest of the day, sleeping and watching TV, drove to the airport, stoned some more for about 2 hours, got on the plane and went back to SG!

Danang

Flying off to Vietnam tomorrow.

Weathers going to be really hot and humid, much like Singapore's, so I'm bracing myself for HEAT.

Will blog more about it when I come back. Won't say when though :D. Keep you guessing.

AC stuff

AC was seriously fun. Really slack camp, basically meaning for the most part we could do anything we wanted between meal times/planned activities. 

For the first day we just set up our sleeping and kitchen tents as well as started work on our gadgets, tables and gateways. We also cooked our own dinner, which consisted of rice, egg, black pepper chicken with onions as well as an epic dessert called creme buerleadfasdfasdfhiausgdifoagsdufoiasdf. The dessert was made with sugar, egg, butter and ice cream. At night, we had night (duh) games. Each person had 2 pegs (clothespegs) pegged to their backs. The aim of the game is for each patrol to attain as many pegs as possible by snatching it from other patrols. Each sec 1 was allowed a maximum of 4 pegs on the back, sec 2s 5, and sec 3s unlimited. If a person ran out of pegs, he had to go to a penalty area for a forfeit until a member of his patrol came to redeem him. Aside from the funness of this activity, the downside was it became incredibly...well quite violent because I was elbowed in the face. Along with the pain, the two extra bonuses were a big bruise and a swell at the bridge of my nose, as well as getting my specs owned.

Second day was the same, pioneering and tying and tying and cooking and eating and sleeping and shitting. Night activities was EA, short for external activity. Each patrol was given a checkpoint clue. Once the patrol had figured out where they were supposed to go, they had to go to that place (not in school, around Raffles Place MRT and Dhoby Ghaut). Once there, the patrol would be given a task clue. It was up to the patrol to decide how they wanted to complete the task. Judging was based on creativity and originality. Quite fun, extremely exhausting. I took a panadol on the way back lol because I had a headache lol.

Third day was exactly the same, with the addition of more rope burns. At night we had Stupid Quiz 2009. Rules are quite long and I won't bother to explain. What matters were that we won :D.

Fourth day. In the morning, after eating breakfast, we ran 2.9 km. Of course, I could exaggerate a bit and say it was 3 km, but I'm feeling honest now and I won't. After the run, we just went back to tying and pioneering again. At night was Festival of Lights. We just had to create as much lights as possible and have some theme/storyline to it. Quite fun, except our safety was fail and we probably got zero. Reason being we had fires next to wooden structures and ropes. We also lit up out tea lights with a gas stove and it was really LOL. Another reason was that we put sparkler dust into a glass jar and lit it with a sparkler. Soon after, the glass (GLASS) jar exploded. 

Fifth day was cleaning up and it sucked. Quite self-explanatory. Then patrol standings for AC were announced and Hawk got 3rd place D:.

OH YES. An epic thing that happened on the second and third night. It rained. 

For the second night, because I was sleeping in the kitchen tent which was open air, I knew about the rain quite quickly. We were all extremely afraid of the rain because firstly, it would mean our kitchen tent would collaspe, and secondly all our stuff would be wet. We stood there bailing out water for about 15 minutes, until a J1 told us to get out since it was a thunderstorm. Meanwhile I went back into the tent to push all the bags further in and attempt to close the flap. This was impossible for two reasons. One, the zip had broken off. Two, the string to hold the flap up was in a dead knot. Translation: half of the entrance was wide open. While I struggled with the flap, the rest of the patrol did a controlled collaspe of the kitchen tent and we ran into the shelter, where we slept for the next 2 hours until about 8am. I forgot to mention the rain occured at 5am in the morning. When we went back to our tents, we found out ALL our stuff was wet. Two simple reasons: the reason above and the fact that the bottom of the tent was not waterproof. 

The third night it rained less heavily, so it was quite ok. We collasped the tent and ran into the shelter. 

The rain was quite expected since it seems that every Annual Camp it rains, turning it into Annual Rain. 

End result of the camp, I've turned multiple dozen shades darker due to prolonged exposure to the sun. aahhhhahahhaha D:

AC

Will be going for Annual Camp tomorrow all the way to Friday. It's going to be (supposedly) a fun camp but after SUTC I am quite skeptical about all 01 camps.

Will blog more about it when I come back, hopefully in one piece.

Another piece of news, the J1s made us bring our thermometers, which shows that the level of alertness is increasing due to the addition of another H1N1 case in Singapore, bringing the total to 5.

Benny you got your wish. Sadly it came during the school holidays.

June Holidays

Not really holidays.

Projects: History, Chinese, CS/CLE, RE and English. A grand (grand!) total of 5 projects for the entire duration of the June Holidays. I would probably have to go to other people's houses lots and lots of times.

Coupled with the fact that Monday will be Annual Camp till Friday, it's going to be fun but doesn't help matters much with my workload.

Anyway, for today and yesterday I foamed to finish the stupid banners and cutting and stuff. Friday was emulsifying spam. Today was painting spam. Had to use turpentine (purtenpine o.0 lolz) to get the paint off me.

Not really holidays.

I still can't think of a title.

Is this blog dead or dying?

I don't really have the time to follow the strict rules set by Benjamin that I have to post once a day because it's quite impossible, taking into consideration the fact that the workload has increased by a lot.

I have a fungus on my leg. Yes it's disgusting and its not mushrooms. It's not really that visible but you can see some bumps and rough surfaces. It is actually growing under my skin and thats seriously disgusting, gross, creepy and scary.

I shall now talk about the miniolympics which I said I would blog about in the next year. Be grateful that I actually remembered.

It was actually quite simple. For each win, the patrol gets 6 points, as opposed to the usual 3 points of the EPL. For each draw, the patrol gets 2 points, also as opposed to the usual 1 point in the EPL. For each loss you get nothing.

Basically each patrol will play a variety of games against each other, such as basketball, soccer, badminton and frisbee. There was also track events.

As usual, due to my pro-ness, we got first :D.

I still can't think of a title.

I can't think of a title

So it shall be that.

Tomorrow is Science Practical.....really nervous because I'm still a little unclear about what to do.....so let me just recap here.

Starch Test: Add 3-5 drops of iodine(I'm not sure about this part) to the solution and shake. If starch is present, the solution will turn dark blue.

Reducing Sugars Test: Add an equal amount of Benedict's reagent to the solution. Boil in a water bath for 3-5 minutes. If reducing sugars is present, the end result will be an orange/brick red precipitate. (Remember to observe the transition colours).

Protein Test: Add 3-5 drops of sodium hydroxide followed by 3-5 drops of 1% copper sulphate. If protein is present, the solution will turn purple (thanks George).

Fat Test: Add 3-5 drops of 70% ethanol solution to the solution. Shake and pour 3cm cube of solution into a test tube. Add an equal amount of distilled water. If fats are present, the solution will turn into a white emulsion (whatever that means).

I'm not sure if there will be anything else so I will check with people tomorrow.

01 miniolympics win

For 01 act today we had mini olympics. Quite fun lah, just stone around and get up for a while to play then stone again.

Seriously tired today so will blog more about it in the next year.

Happy Vesak Day?

Today was "holiday" in-lieu for Vesak Day. "Holiday". More like "Foamingovermathssupplementryexerciseday". Spammed all five of it. I think I just lost 45% of my brain cells, wasted and splattered over crumpled worksheets, turning greyer as the worksheets turns soggier.

So Wednesday's act would be a "Neighbourhood run", which would more likely turn out to be a "Run around Singapore 5 times Run". Then two days later would be my 2.4 which I am planning to fail in since I still can get a silver even if I fail so I will purposely failfailfail. Maybe I should be like fjm and get 20 minutes?

Just maybe.

I need more chances to show off my manlyness, hence the maybe.

Manlyness.....manliness?

A problem with my digestive system

It is yet again official. I have constipation. 

It started like a week ago and since then I've been releasing lots and lots of inspirational air every day. Whenever I shit only a few tiny pieces exit my body. That's why I have been taking a long time to shit every day, struggling and fighting a losing battle to constipation.

We shall now have a song to end of the post. 

Uh huh, extra cheese.
Uh huh, Uh huh, save a piece for me.

Pizza party at your house,
I went just to check it out.
19 extra larges,
What a shame, no one came.
Just us, eatin' all alone,
You said, "take the pizza home.
No sense lettin' all this go to waste,"
So then I faced

Pizza all day, and everyday, there's cheese 'round the clock,
Is gettin' me blocked, And I sure don't care for irregularity.

Tell me,
Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated
'Cause right now I'd do anything to just get my bowels evacuated,
In the bathroom.
I sit and I wait and I strain and I sweat and I clench and I feel the pain
Oh, should I take a laxative or have my colon irrigated. 
No, no, no.

I was feelin' pretty down,
'Til my girlfriend came around.
We're just so alike in every way, I gotta say.
In fact, I just thought I might,
pop the question there that night.
I was kissin' her so tenderly,
But woe is me.

Who would've guessed, her family crest.
I'd suddenly spy, tattoo'd on her thigh.
And son of a gun, it's just like the one on me.
Tell me.

How was I supposed to know we were both related?
Believe me if I knew she was my cousin we never would've dated.
What to do now?
Should I go ahead and propose and get hitched and have kids with 11 toes,
And move to Alabama where that kinda' thing is tolerated.
No, no, no.

(no no)x11
(oooh)
I had so much on my mind,
I thought maybe I'd unwind.
Try out that new roller coaster ride,
And the guide...

Said not to stand, but that's a demand,
That I couldn't meet, I got on my feet,
And stood up instead and knocked off my head you see!
Tell me!

Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience, oh man I really hate it.
It's such a drag now.
can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore, I can't belch or yodel anymore,
Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated.
Oh no!

Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated? (yeah yeah)
I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated.
What a bummer.
I can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeze.
But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now.
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated.
No, no, no.

Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj

Come to think of it, this is probably my longest title -_-. 

2.4 today was ok. Not what I had expected, but at least I got a D (I think).

The main point of this post: Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj has saboed the runners today to run AGAIN next week. Today's runners meaning those who ran today. The others could not because it was raining.

The main, no ONLY reason we have to run again is because Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj failed his lap counting. We were supposed to run 7 laps. He ran 6. He thought he ran 7. His lap counter, Zi Yang, failed too and said it was 7 (he later admitted it was 6). It was quite obvious that Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj skipped a lap because Yi Yong was always in front of Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj but Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj finished 6th and Yi Yong finished 7th. Obviously Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj skipped a lap.

And so, Mr Sarkkunan succumbed to student pressure because we all knew that Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj skipped a lap and we wanted Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj to retake the thing. So mr Sarkkunan asked Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj whether he wanted to rerun. 

Lets analyse this question. There are two possible responses for Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj to choose from, Yes or No. 

Yes = Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj would run again and today's runners can sit back and suan him.

No = Everyone has to run again to avoid the discreppancies. 

The stupid part is, no matter what answer Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj gave, Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj would still have to run. The difference is whether today's runners (me included) will run with Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj.

So Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj said No, ie, Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj saboed everyone to run again.

And so now Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj owes us 2 tofus.

I don't care if Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj sees this, but I am seriously :@ with him and I am going to be the main person in the tofu.

I'm so :@

The contrast

Just realised the huge and majorly huge contrast between primary and secondary school. I was at TNS today after LJD to pass my RE survey to the P6 GEP students. So because I couldn't find my teachers, I wandered around the school in hopes of seeing a familliar face (which I eventually did). Since it was the afternoon session, the epic lameness of the P1-P2 failures in life shouted out at me how huge a difference there IS between secondary and primary school (actually some are no better than P3 but I shall not name names).

Maybe its because as we age our view on life and perspectives changes, our priorities (prioritIES) changes, and basically a lot of things about us and our maturity (or lack of it for CERTAIN people) changes a lot too.
