One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six...

I can't believe it!!! The much awaited screening of BBM's a complete flop!!! Nono... The outing was a success... We had fun... But the movie wasn't what we had expected... Well, except for the kissing scene which I've viewed it on [youtube.com]... Other than tt... The movie's not tt interesting... Perhaps it's because of all the mumbling of the actors and their strong accent and all those dark scenes and lousy subtitles... It's like making the gang totally bored...

So we switched to [The Excorism Of Emily Rose] and fearing tt it's really a horrible horror movie, I hid myself in [Darrell]'s room most of the time until the ending... When the excorism was performed... Tt scene wasn't freaky... It's just so [Constantine] and maybe if I watched it from the start, I might not be freaked out @ all... But who cares??? No guts = Less exposure to the outside world...

Oh ya... We also watched videos from the webbie and we watch clips from some comedy... [Miss Swan]... It's seriously hilarious... Watching those for the first time... Okay... Maybe it's too much to say tt it's really hilarious... It's funny and you'll smile @ those ppl tt're being driven to insanity... The process of them going ku-ku... =D

Apart from the videos, we also did some illegal stuff tt shouldn't really be made known to the world... I can't believe tt because of tt, I became everyone's [Cai Sheng] @ [BlackJack]...!!! Er... Opps!!! It just slipped outta my fingers... Hehe... Okay... I'm so not original... But really... I'm totally CMI when it comes to the creativity part... Tt part of my brain's totally dead already... *grins*

Oh well... I'll end here for now... And I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful time spent together, the treats of chips and drink and most of all, to [Darrell]... Esp when I totally messed up his house... *smiles* Hmmm... Tt sounds wrong right??? ^_^

Common Tests...

The wretched [Common Tests] are finally over... Obviously, this isn't anything to be joyful abt as after the tests, the results will be out and tt'll not be a good thing... The only paper which I've confidence in is [Maths-C]... The rest are a total flop and I could only keep my fingers crossed for an acceptable grade... Moreover, the feel this time round is also different from tt when we were sitting for out [Promos]... This time round, the papers are harder, the atmosphere feels different and we're more stressful as well...

Stress... The word once not in my dictionary... Now, I'm beginning to feel stress... Imagine having chest aches during almost every test!!! It's so demoralising when you can't concentrate... Perhaps the pain is a symptoms of exam stress or perhaps there's something seriously wrong with my bod (touch wood)...

Recently, there's a new show on [TV] - [Yours Always]... It's abt the love affairs of 3 ppl caught in a love triangle... And it's interesting to watch... It's even more interesting with [Roy Chiu], the suave [Taiwanese] actor... In the show, he plays a cool, quite kinda guy who's being ditched by his GF... So poor thing!!! Hmmm... A little emotionally insane here... So let's change the topic before I totally go ga-ga over him... Again!!!

Oh well, with mroe maps and monsters added into [MS], it's getting more interesting now... So I'm off to play [MS] now... Haha... Until next time!!!

Oh... A little help here... I can't get my bgsound to repeat, despite me adding the 'loop= infinite' command... Can anyone help me??? Please???

Isn't This Great?!

It's ironic if I state tt I'll take you ppl's critical comments into consideration and not do anything abt it... So now I hope tt you readers are satisfied tt I've changed my skin...

Not well versed in HTML codes, I can't get rid of some dotted borders and pls don't laugh @ me... The original was something like this, but as usual, I added some, changed some... So voila!!! It looks wordy, but @ least the fonts' are bigger not eh???

Oh well, blog some other time then... I'm off to fight some stones in [Orbis Tower]... Cya~!!!

Slow & Steady Wins The Race... And A Complete Turn-off After That...

Once again I was the early bird... But there isn't any worms to catch... Not tt I wanna catch 1 anyway... Give me $100 for tt??? Forget it... This is 1 bet I'll withdraw willingly... Unless my guts gauge's full once again...

Not seeing anyone around, I thus headed towards the food court to grab a cup of [Kopi-O]... Actually, I made a mistake cause I like sweet stuff... And tt's bitter... But since it's coffee, I'll just drink it anyway... So note to self, order [Kopi] the next time... Ya...

Saw some short and tall figures moving towards [Fuji] and I immediately ID-ed them to be [Cass], [JY] and [MJ]... Gave [Cass] 2 calls and [JY] a call but none of them picked up the phone (realised tt [JY] didn't bring her phone later on)... Dumb right??? What's their phone for??? @ least [MJ] picked up my call...

Went to [KFC] to stoned for a while while some of them have their breakfast and we crapped abt [MS], [BBM] & [Formula17]... [XP] came and chat with us... But pity she didn't join us in skating...

Within mins, we were in the ring and skating in circles... There's no choice cause the ring's round... [Dar] and [YQ] can skate pretty well and I was able to half-skate and half-walk, trying to maintain my balance and all... [JY] & [MJ]'s pretty good in moving around, though I won't say they're skating... More like walking... The last duo, [YH] and [Cass]'s completely hopeless... They refuses to release their grip from the barrier...!!! It's hilarious when [YQ] & I finally pried ourselves from [Cass]'s grip and left her to stand in the middle of the ring... How she was totally freaking out!!! It's radical, dude!!! And when [YQ] gave her a push towards [Dar], she screamed!!! OMG... I was laughing till I was starting to have stitches...

After countless skating in circles, we began to feel bored and thus, decided to leave [Fuji] for lunch... [Dar], [JY], [YQ] & I headed to [Pizza Hut] while the rest headed towards [KFC] again!!! The lunch cum dinner's a little insightful where I share my exp. on [PW]... Hope it's of some help to them...

The last part of our outing was spent on the arcade @ [Lot 1]... We first tried the racing and poor [Cass] was last... From the beginning, she already had a disadvantage cause she can't use her turbo... So she's like CMI... Then I saw [MJ]... She's like a pro, using only 1 hand to drive and doing tt big turn @ the end effortlessly!!! So cool!!! And she used the turbo @ the appropriate time, and tt allowed her to get tt first... Way to go!!!

I took over [Cass] in the next race and I concentrated on the driving, not on the winning... Now this helped me to secure a 2nd and 3rd place till the last lap... Pretty cool for a person who can't use turbo huh??? The turning pt came when [Dar] tried to overtake me w/o using his turbo... Bad mistake!!! Tt big turn came and I used his car as protection when I do a brake turn, causing him to crash into the wall and overturning!!! Now I'm first!!! The last lap came and I just dashed as fast as my non-turbo car could carry me and I emerged 1st!!! Awesome!!! 6 turbo racers being beaten by a non-turbo racer!!! Hey hey... Now, slow and steady will win the race!!!

The next attraction was [Virtual Cop III] and everyone's going gaga over tt, literally spending tons of cash on tt game... Well, [Dar] and I were gd but [Dar] and [YQ]'s a better team... They're like so compatiable, killing the enemy within secs and was equally accurate... I shall not reveal some ugly scenes here for fear of being assissnated or boycott... But you know who didn't perform tt well la hor... Of course, we need more training so tt we won't be killing any more innocents...

With reluctance, we parted and headed home... Once home, I thought I could enjoy this nice day to the end... Yet when [Mom] came home, she handed me a letter... From [Mindef]!!! *gasp*

I opened it and yeah, it's THE LETTER... The one calling me to go online to do tt troublesome registeration... Such a bummer... Oh well, @ least my startes on 29/03... So let's just forget abt it first la!!! Everything will work out find... ^_^

Fear Factor, Extreme Goumet...

This, my friends, is going to be a rather short entry... Finally, it's 1 of those days where I have those feel to write a short 1... Now this is NOT normal... In fact, you should be eager to read what I've to write and LOL @ it later... Trust me, you'll really LOL...

I planned to study today and what did I do??? Rot!!! Seriously, with [MS] down for patching till 1500 hrs, I tried to study and I did a little... By little, I really mean really, really little, as compared to all the topics tt I've to revise on.. It's all relative now... Anyway, despite the patch, I still managed to go online to read blogs, stoned, played online games here and there, watched my sis surf... Ya know, do everything except studying...

So [MS]'s fianlly done with tt big patch and I tried to DL it... ... And failed miserably... Thanks to all those fanatics out there jamming the traffic... I have no choice but to do it @ night... Thank goodness I managed to secure 1 of the many DL routes... Or else I'll have to wait till tml and [Sis]'s sure to use her wand and blast me into the end of this universe...

*Sigh* With no [MS] for the whole afternoon, and with my chest aching like mad, I've absolutly no mood to read [Phy] or [Chem] or [Econs] for tt matter... So I vaccuum 3/4 of the house and later, went to spend my VIP Coupon for a haircut... Not in [MS]... It's @ [Kimage] where the 'coupon' actually is a $20 discount voucher... Heh heh... @ least the gang can see me in my new haircut, which is not tt messy...

Hair aside, I returned home and how this is where the interesting part came abt... [Mum] actually bet $50 for me to eat 3 big stalks of veggie (Do not tt 'big' in this case is relative once again... Perhaps it's not big to you ppl... But hey, it's big to me... And tt's an understatement)... So I took up the challenged and devoured the 3 stalks... Not with filling my mouth full of rice when I'm eating the veggies... Haha!!! A whopping $50 earned!!! Now... Who wants to be part of this wacky family of mine where you get paid to eat veggies??? o_O

Open House, Inline Skating And So Totally BBM!!!

You have been forwarned... This entry might be quite long, probably ad infinitum... So ya... Read on @ your own risk... *A banshee scream could be heard from the distant*

It's not everyday you can visit some run-off-the-mill open house on a [Sunday] with friends... But it did happen... The [NUS] open house - from 11th to 12th March...

[WQ], [Joan], [Lynn] and I met @ [Clementi] and boarded 96 to the large, old yet busy [NUS]... It's supposed to be busy... But once we entered the campus... It's like so deserted, giving you the feeling tt you've been to the wrong place... @ least there's assurance from ppl around us, moving like some zombies heading towards 1 specific direction, where most of the activities took place... Of course, the other reason there's a migration pattern's pretty obvious... For the goody bags, what else?!

We 4 then went with the crowd to some MPR like room where there's what I presume to be some kinda CCA display centre... We toured around a little, and I'm not sure abt the rest, but I was trying hard to make my mind think with all those loud music blasting @ my poor eardrums and taking all those brochures tt ppl are stuff us with like the paper's free or something... Poor trees from the Amazone forest!!! I feel for you, being made into tiny paper just to be discarded into the trash the next day...

Once the tour of tt confined noisy place's done, we hitched a shuttle bus to [Shear's Hall] and have a look @ hostel life... It turned out tt hostel life could be quite fun... No curfews, independent living, many neighbours and best of all, small dorms!!! Now I need not worry abt cleaning up my own room... A simple 2 hrs per wk should keep my room neat, shiny and super clean...!!! Of course, all this doesn't come cheap... S$1.4K per semester for all your meals, a room with bed, a study table, a wardrobe, and electricity... Now how on those ppl actually cough up those cash in addtion to the very ex. sch. fees??? Work??? Doesn't this means tt their daily schedule's gonna be extremely packed??? *gasp*

Hostel life aside, we decided to continue to the [NUS Business Sch]... But once we arrive there, it seems totally haunted, dilapidated... Guess it's not opening their doors to visitors... Sigh... So much for wanting to learn what courses are availabe...

Anyway, we decided to head over to [The Cheese Prata Shop] then, which is like 20 mins to 1/2 hrs walk from 1 of the many [NUS] exits??? Who cares abt tt when we can have delicious bananna and pinapple prata topped with yummy cheese??? And DUH, it's not your average cheese tt you see ppl use @ [Lot 1]... It's quality cheese tt melts in your mouth... Simply marval-licious!!!

Once we have our late lunch, our final destination's [West Mall] where we partonised the arcade... It's a pity tt the [Para Para] machine's no longer there... But @ least there's still the racing... And I used up my luck there and then cause usually, you need 2 tokens... But somone left 1 token there and all I have to do is add 1 more and I can play!!! Cool right???

My downside came where we play those table hockey or whatever-you-call-tt game is... I was totally trashed by [Joan] and [WQ]... 2 v 1... The situation's made worse when I told them the ultimate way to defend against an atk... It's totally to my diadvantage... And my only consolation was to beat the [Pocket Fighter] game... Heke...

So tt's it for the open house... Feeling bored already??? Awww... The best's always @ the end... So read on...

I had my final inline skating lesson today and it's just revision for me and more practice on turning as it's pointless to be promoted to a new level when this is the final time you see those witty, good-looking instructors...

Revision done, it's urban time... What's tt lingo you say??? It's nth... It just means to skate in the outside world, away from the safe confines of the sch, which FYI, isn't tt safe... Imagine moving down tt [Ramp] and not knowing the correct way to move down a slope??? I end up falling on purpose as a means of breaking... So un-glam right??? Yes!!! Esp when you're in those really short shorts, exposing your fat, fair legs, falling @ a high velocity means getting some scratches, which fortunately for me, I didn't sustain any...

The terror doesn't end there... Outside, the road's uphill and downhill and I end up lagging behind as every time I tried to accelerate, I'll end up losing my balance and falling... The woes of having a high C.G... Tsk... Skate, blam! Fall, skate, Blam! Fall... The cycle repeats itself everywhere I go... Across the road, up some minor slopes, down some pavement... And I almost slam onto a tree!!! So I conclude tt I can only skate for fun, doing slow acceptable speed... Not those snail pace where even walking's faster...

We finally arrived back @ sch where we could finally be dismissed, after all those sweat... Now I'm so looking forward to the ice skating this [Thurs]... @ least I can skate, fall and not bruise myself and not sweat @ all!!! Such a good bargain, why pass up a chance @ tt?!

O-k-a-y... We're almost @ the end... The last part's perhaps a self confession??? Perhaps I'm really not normal... Fancy seeing some gay kissing scenes and not feel weird... Check out tt webby and you'll know...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzLDUhNQ9U8&search=formula%2017

Seriously, after watching tt 4 mins long clip where they kiss so passionately like any ordinary couple, I still don't feel grossed out, weird or anything... Rather the opposite feeling surfaced... Check out the BBM's entry and you'll know what kinda feeling I'm feeling...

Oh well... I guess I better end here or else you ppl are gonna boycott this blog for breaching protocool... Writing too long an entry... *Grins* ^_^

Food-for-thought... Personally, I would appreciate ppl if they give straight answers... Like 'yes' or 'no', not 'perhaps I'll update you some other time'... I mean, what could tt mean??? A yes or a hint of no??? How would I know??? I would rather be brought back to reality asap rather than float so high before the truth hits... Then it'll hurt cause the higher you are when you fall, the more pain you'll feel... So don't give me a 'yes', but it's a 'no' in the long run or vise versa... Just be direct!!! *Not arrowing anyone in particular*

Common Tests...

The last 2 days were no fun @ all... Of course, tt statement's only applicable to those in J2s as it's the start of our much feared common test... And before I dwell into all those boring issues of [GP] and [Maths-C], you have been warned... Some parts are anti-sports... So if you're a sports afficionado, this will generate quite a few hate mails... But seriously, do you think I will care abt tt???

Our [GP] paper was, how should I phrase it??? Hmmm... Let's just say tt even if you've read those notes tt your tutors have given you, it might not even be of much help... You see, for the first paper, the question I chose was, ''Technological progress has alienate man from nature.' Do you agree?' The starting was a little tough... But after I started writing the intro and parts of the body, the content came naturally and keep your fingers cross tt I'll do well... Who knows??? I might just write out of point and it's game over for me...

The second paper was any better... Usually, there'll be 2 passages greeting us... But this time, there's only 1 long passage... And swell, of all the topics to test us on, the sch just have to test me on something tt I didn't read and am uber-weak @ - War, Terrorism, Politics... Murphy's Law, some might call tt phenomenon... So the compre's abt agression and there's some qus. whereby I'm totally cluess on how to answer them... *Sigh* And the consolation??? Ya, there's a small consolation... @ least the vocab section wasn't all tt bombastic and full of chimified words tt make my head hurt just by thinking of them and infering what on earth does it actually means... Even the AQ's very straight-forward... Fingers entwined once again ppl, to pray and hope tt I can pass this one...

Then there's tt [Maths-C] paper yesterday tt lasted for a freaking 3 hrs... Okay, so it isn't tt long... But consider all these plausible scenerio... What if you have to go to the loo to release tt water pressure tt's building up in your bladder??? Or to release some solid undigested materials because you've ate some bad stuff??? Or what if your paper's in some freezer LT??? With tables so low tt you have to hunch down till your back and neck ache and your head feels like dropping off???

I am digressing so let's move back to the point... The paper was simple as the concepts are all in my mind... No need to pray for this A... It's difinately within my grasp... If not, I wouldn't be taking this [Science Stream]...

Tests aside, you ppl might consider a run or some vigorous activities might let os relax by sweating out all those mathematical formulaes... It might work for some but when tt's applied to me, it's not gonna work... The only way for me to forget stuff and really relax is to bring me to the arcade, play [MS] and not forgetting the ultimate de-stressor - hanging out with the gang... Awww, isn't tt just sweet??? *Distantly hear some vomit spilling out @ [Toh Tuck]*

So we have our [Road Run] and before we can run, we have a house meeting where we learn some cheers... So what's wrong with cheering??? Everything!!! A soft-spoken person like me can't shout loud, let alone scream @ the top of my voice for some dumb words... What's more, I'm so not gonna get a sore-throat @ a time like this, during the [March] hols... Tt'll max out my stress-o-meter... So there's cheering and the J1s are do tt with enthusiasm, which is very shocking... The ultimate eye-opener was when 1 of the J1 OGLs came up to us, the J2s and started to demo the actions of the cheers... I was trying so hard not to look @ him and rolled my eyes when I'm looking @ the floor, or @ my friends or anyway except directly @ him... Even [LX] was trying very hard to stifle a giggle... For a person tt's always lauging her head off @ the slightest joke (no offence), it's gotta be the toughest thing to do...

Now this got me thinking... Why on earth does tt J1 OGL even thing tt we wanna cheer??? And don't he have any sense of embarrassment when he demo the cheers to us??? Or perhaps he's so dense tt he's oblivious to our body language??? And the cheers... There's like no meaning in the wordings of the cheers... 1 very good example is as such... What has the inverse of the word 'Owens' - Suemo - have to do with spurring us on??? I mean, a cheer is suppose to spur us on right??? And what's with tt mascot of our [Owens]' house??? Fancy using a mutated housefly as a mascot!!! Sheesh!!!

From this I can conclude tt bad words in cheers + bad housefly = lamest house ever present... Pity tt Owens scientist whom our house borrowed the name from... And if this has ignited fury in you, pls don't read any further... Believe me... If not, just continue on...

The road run finally commerce, not before a whole lot of crapping by the emcees - SL and another 05S02 guy - and some dumb warm-up... Frankly speaking, by standing under the sun for like eternity, aren't we 'warmed-up' and dehydrated enough already??? Can't they just get the run over and done with asap??? Once we actually started running, I ran... But of course, I didn't give my best and ran only 3.2 km and walking the remaining 1.6 km... Now, why would I do tt??? You see, only the first 150 ppl will get pts for the house and it's obvious tt by the time I finish the 3.2 km, the instanteous ranking @ tt pt of time for me, can't possibly be within 150... So even if I run, I won't get any pts... So what's the use of running??? So me and my friend walked till the entrance of the sch where I decided to put on an act by running then...

You should know the feeling, to stop running and then run again... Your body will not wanna function and you'll get exhausted easily... This is made worse when you're beginning to feel a little dehydrated... So by the time I jogged to the area where the guys and gals are separated, I walked, despite it not being the finishing line yet... And here's the infurating part... One J1 [Owens] clan OGL - female - tried to encourage me to run... I can't be bothered with her and I ignored her... Can't help being mean as I'm exhausted and the sun's burning... After walking past her, the mutated housefly greeted my and with it, a guy OGL - his name's Jay Chua or something, thank goodness it's NOT Jay Chou... So what's wrong with him??? Normally, I have nth against encouragment, but he his phrasing's just toally wrong... He's liierally jeering @ me!!! Tt impudent, moronic guy...!!! He actually said, 'Run la!!! Owens one still don't run!!!'

To hell with tt guy... On what grounds does he have to command me to run like tt??? If I don't wanna run, then so be it!!! You might think tt I'm bias and if it's some good looking guy asking me to run, I would... Well, let me clarify this... I won't!!! So what if tt guy's ugly and shorter than me... Or good-looking??? If he mock me, he's totally a complete turn off... Darn him... *Fuming*

This week, it's a fashion faux pas for me... Imagine me wearing a jersey with shorts tt's just too short, exposing those fat, fair, flawless legs... OMG!!! So totally gay right??? Now you know why I like long pants or those knee-length shorts... >_<

Outflow Of Emotions...

There's a limit to everything... Like a bottle tt has a fixed amt of H2O tt it can store, a human shell also has a capacity to how much it can absorb... Once, tt threshold level is exxceed, the human shell burst apart, releasing whatever tt it has kept locked up for eons...

After watching the trailers of [BrokeBack Mountain] in [youtube.com], I finally realised why it's rated [R21]... When I stumble across the kissing scene of the 2 male leads, I guess my naive mind can't fully understand it and there's this sense of weirdness after viewing it... Of course, this feeling soon dissipated... In tt short trailer, you can really see the hesitation on [Jake] as [Ennis] tried to kiss him... Yet the hesitation was totally gone once their lips made contact and firey passion exploded... It's remarkable tt [Jake] didn't get freaked out by his best friend's move... How I wish tt tt could really happen in my life... To be able to find tt special guy...

Aparting from fantasing abt tt for 1 whole week, I still have a [Chem SPA] to handle and seriously, science practical has now taken a whole new meaning... In the past, we have to do the exp. in order to get the answer, evident in our QA and titration exp, where we mix all different sorts of chemicals to see some colourful precipitate which I don't know how to differentiate... now, all we have to do is to memorise - yes, MEMORISE - the answer given to us by the teacher and literally vomit it all out back to the teacher... Now why is tt happening??? This is because we're being tested on Skills C - calculations - and D - evaluation... For evaluation, we simply have to find out what's wrong with the exp, it's impacts and how we can improve the exp... And pior to the actual SPA, the sch will obviously get us to do similar exp and tell us the evaluations, which for the record, is totally congruent to what we'll write in the actual SPA... Thus, it's almost impossible to fail such SPA and it's a must to score in order to gain leverage in the 'A's...

Amazing infomation aside, it's time for a little bit of solem news... I recently got back my [Chinese] results... No, I didn't fail... I pass... I managed to obtain a C5, which isn't tt good seriously... But considering tt my target's a pass... I'm more than satisfied... And don't bother proposing the idea of re-takign the exams... I'll ought to be thrown into the lonney bin if I were to really do tt... @ tt same time, the 'A' level results are out and the really senior [Pioneers] retunred to obtain their precious result slips... Saw most of the guys donning a cap and I don't know how they can do it... To look cool and good-looking while being bald @ the same time... If I were really to lose all my hair, I'll wear and won't even look @ myself in the mirror, let alone step outta my house... Even [SL] commented tt he'll wear a hat if he's to shave his hair...

It's [WQ]'s b-day on [Thurs] and I went to dine with the all-girls group @ [Let's Eat] once again... It's enjoyable and memorable as it's 1 unforgettable day... [WQ]!!! May your wishes come true so tt there's world peace!!!

Then today's our ex-CT's wedding solemisation ceremony in the evening but I didn't turn up for tt event... Despite [Ms. Lee] being our CT for the past 1 yr, I'm not obliged to attend the ceremony right??? What's more, I do not really look forward to attending such events as I find it uninteresting... To me, staying @ home the ideal choice when it comes to going out late @ night... I would rather play [MS]... Kinda unfeeling right??? I think so too... Guess it's the reprecussion of sealing my emotions and locking it up in my already solidifed heart...

And just not so long ago, I was told tt the ice-skating outing tt I anticipated is being brought forward from the [March] hols to tml... I can't really make it tml as I'm plannign to study tml... Tt change of plans has totally ruined 1 hr of my life by being upset and emotional... Guess I can't really hold onto anymore emotions in me and what ever tt is being thrown in my way is immediately reflected back...

Now some may wonder why am I kicking up a big fuss over not attending some outing... As a matter of fact, they're the bulk of what I would classify as 'close friends' - ppl who you'll share almost everything with... And after not meeting up with them for who knows how long, I kinda miss joking with them... Guess I'm afraid of losing contact with them and moving on with my life... I fear the constant change tt's happening all around us...
