Managed to borrow Kelvin's copy of the Math Ass. A question paper ('cause you know, I lost mine and all).
CNY is in less than five days, and I'm going back Friday night to celebrate (ang paus and good food, here I come).
I love Chinese New Year. Seriously. I absolutely love it. There's nothing more awesome than CNY songs, the food (especially those awfully cute, bite-sized versions of mandarin oranges), the everything. Mm yeah.
It would be great to be able to stay longer, but we've gotta make do with what we have.
Physics was awesome today. Mr Wong owns, man. He keeps referring to Ryan as the future President of Hong Kong (which may or may not happen, more likely not, but who knows?), and that's just epic.
Did some kinematics stuff, and some weird mock MCQ quiz.
And yes, the answer is always either 'C' or "jirou". (I kid, but it's funnier that way.)
Went to the lab for Chem. Managed to survive two hours of going through our prac, ionisation energy and electron affinity without falling asleep.
Math somehow sped past, although I can't really remember anything(something about numbers, I think. Oh yeah, definitely).
Study time verdict: KT is pro, man.
He's like, "Kyeong is pro," and "Chenglei is pro," (this China guy we were trying to hook MJ up with) then "Joshua (Park) is pro" for strange reasons. I don't know what his definition of pro is, but I'm thinking something along the lines of "dudes who get all the chicks of their nationality or something like that". I'm not exactly sure, it's just a theory.
Then he started calling Insan pro for "doing Math", so I'm a bit confused at the moment. (He later changed his mind though. Now it's "Insan's a failure".)
But seriously though, KT is funneh.
It's been seriously humid lately. Don't like it. Should rain more often.
I miss Brunei rain. The ones that last an entire day and still have some to spare the following day. When it rains back home, it doesn't smell all funny. I love Brunei rain.
Heck, it hardly rains here.
No fun.
Okay, better go now. Have clothes to fold, and LotR to read.
Arrivederci.
P.S. No, I am not a guy.

A lot of people are like, obsessed with Glee right now.
And that's not surprising at all.
That's 'cause Glee is good. Oh hell yeah it is. Great cast, great songs, great plot. Mm yeah.
The internet connection is acting really gay right now, and I can't stand it. Seriously annoying. It's like you need to do things, but it just won't let you. Sad.
It's the fifth night of our pertaruhan yang bodoh, and I'm quitting. I kid you not. Yes, I quit. Now everybody's commenting on my status (I can tell 'cause hotmail keeps popping up telling me "1 message received"), telling me how I epic failed and am going to suffer an epic forfeit.
I don't mind, actually. Isn't that where the fun comes in?
I sure hope they don't make me do something beyond my limit of stupidity though. Hmm.
Had to write some things about "School hours should be shorter. Discuss," during English today.
Personally, I don't think school hours should be shorter. I think there should be less school days. If I were to go to school, I'd rather do it all day, then have more days where I don't have to show up at all. I'd like to wake up later, thank you very much.
Watched this documentary on the Channeled Scablands during Geog today. Had to stop halfway during an epic cliffhanger (literally. There was this guy with a pickaxe chipping off the side of a massive glacier in Iceland), 'cause Ms Chua's laptop ran out of battery.
So sad.
It was actually quite interesting (don't let my constant nodding off to sleep deceive you).
Speaking of sleep, I'm feeling rather sleepy right now, so better be off.
Adieu.
P.S. I ain't scared of no forfeit. Bring it ON. (Does it make me sound like I have no shame? I'm not shameless though.)
P.P.S. Yeah, I totally plagiarised Ghostbusters in my last postscript.

Listening to the Glee version of 'Endless Love' now.
They sang it earlier on during Swine- I mean, Shine, that singing competition for hostel people that was sorta disappointing.
I won't say much, but yeah, it wasn't really up to the standard I was expecting. I was hoping for more, you know, but too bad.
Parts of it were fun though.
Was at Music Room A this morning with Fatinn and Woan Chyi. Played around with Fatinn's new external speaker, which is pretty awesome compared to its size. Cute little thing, big sound.
I haven't played or listened to certain songs in a long time, and doing that just brings a lot back to mind. It's not surprising at all, really. All the practice sessions we go through, and all the sights and sounds and emotions that go along with them. I miss the old days.
Realised I lost my Math assignment paper when I got back. Where could it have gone? That's just weird. I swear I had it. Wanted to start today (knowing I'm completely atrocious at Math), but bleh, plans got screwed.
Went out with Woan Chyi later on in the afternoon. Started raining right after we stepped out of the school gates, so we decided to take the bus instead of walk (yes, in fact we do like to burn calories once in a while).
Checked out some things at Popular, then ate at Swensen's (I owed her pizza, 'cause I still haven't finished reading LotR). Mmm, calories. Calories taste good. The excuse is that I have PE tomorrow, but PE is never sufficient exercise. Too bad.
Came back in time for Shine. Still haven't quite gotten over the disappointment yet (it's not the results, rather the quality). But I can't sing, so I'm not in any place to say anything like that or people will start complaining (Simon Cowell is one of those exceptions though. I wish I could replace him in AI. If anyone from Fox ever reads this, please? I'll do a good job, I swear).
Okay, going off now. Back to Gondor and orc-slaying. Wootz.
P.S. Aragorn has skillz. That's why he gets all the chicks.
P.P.S. MH fail. :(
P.P.P.S. Hey, that's the first emoticon I've posted in ages. Cool.

I'm in an exceedingly good mood now.
Currently trying out my new earphones. Was at HMV earlier on with Fatinn, Wardah and Emily, 'cause Fatinn needed new earphones (the interesting thing was that we all decided on which ones to buy before she did).
I got tempted by this pair. They're hella good. Significantly cheaper than all the other Skullcandy earphones and headphones, too. I love these earphones 'cause the bass is good and strong, and I can hear everything as clear as crystal (or at least clearer than my previous pair). Oh, and they look seriously cool, too. Sleek and black and skulled. (Hey, just realised they'll match my awesome hat. Nice.)
Went out to auntie Mal's house this afternoon at Orchard for some gathering/party thing. Had candy floss (sweet), played Uno, watched people karaoke, ate, and basically lazed our Saturday away.
Come to think of it, where did all those hours go? Hmm.
Decided to follow the seniors around to jalan some more after that, 'cause as Emily says, "Bini-bini suka jalan", and I had nothing better to do anyway.
Somerset 313 is cool. Great building design.
Shar's pretty envious of me now, 'cause she's been wanting to go there ever since it opened, and she's stuck in Brunei.
Speaking of Brunei, CNY is in a week, and I'mma go back home for it. I met Viet Anh the other day, and she was telling me about how an unusually large number of foreigners were going back for CNY this year. I think it's 'cause of the great timing, 'cause it's right over the weekend, so we get a continuous five days off, and the first three days of Chinese New Year.
But I digress. We walked around the place a bit, got new earphones, checked out a few shops, then went back.
Should go there again sometime.
We received our National Day dinner invites today. They addressed me as "Awang" again, which is pretty epic. It's been a year, and they still haven't realised I'm not a guy. I wonder what'll happen next year. Maybe I'll perpetually be "Awang" in the eyes of the Brunei High Comm in Singapore. Interesting.
Okay, going to bed now. Need to get a few things done tomorrow.
Night.
P.S. My tagboard is like, dead. Go and say hi or something, and feed the rabbit too while you're at it (it goes "crunch"). Thanks.
P.P.S. Oh, and something of extremely EPIC proportions happened today. Faiz is going to be ever so jealous of me.

Term 1 week 5 is over, and I starting to think we've gotten some pretty awesome teachers.
We told our Physics teacher that our Math teacher told us "your mum is a woman", and he went, "That's not necessarily the case. I can show you a video."
It's entirely epic. Mr Wong is all about showing us seriously random videos in class just for the sake of it (and somehow relating them to Physics), but honestly, what video? The one about the pregnant man? The woman who had a sex change but decided to keep her uterus so she could have babies 'cause her wife wasn't able to? I wonder.
I like Physics. (Which doesn't mean I'm good at it. I just like it. Makes more sense than Chem, at least.)
Thought we were going to finally get some things done during CCA today, but apparently the video files were in some weird format, so we couldn't import them into iMovie.
Gave up eventually (and ended up watching TMNT with the new people). The photo group (excluding a bunch of Year 2s who were too lazy to go) went off on some field trip somewhere.
Hopefully we get the video files sorted out soon, 'cause I don't want us to seem lazy and unproductive.
It's the third day of our bet, and nobody's forgotten to tag yet. I'm starting to have doubts. This may last for a long, long time, man.
Spent my Friday night reading LotR. I've got a hundred and seventy pages to go as of this moment. I love all the epic scenes, like the one where Éowyn goes, "But no living man am I!" and stabs King of the Nâzgul in the face (now that's what I call "in your face". Literally).
All right, going back to Gondor now.
P.S. Aragorn FTW. Still.
P.P.S. It's funny how people mistake me for being in the choir or orchestra just 'cause we wear black shirts for Media too. (I'm actually cool with that. Managed to sneak away a slice of pizza from the choir dressed like that.)
P.P.P.S. The answer to the Physics prac question "Give two reasons for the difference between your results and the theoretical value" is pretty simple. One: Inaccuracy. Two: Retardation.

I've definitely said this before, but I'll say it again: The internet connection here is faulty.
Okay, I'm over it now.
It's the second day of the pertaruhan yang bodoh II, and it's going pretty well, I have to admit. Nobody's quitting yet. So far.
Actually did something during study time today, albeit very little. Managed to finish off Physics ass. 2, thanks to Kelvin. It takes a pretty long time for my brain to boot up, then there's the processing and functioning and all that jazz.
Speaking of functions, our Math teacher said a very interesting thing in class today. He was in the middle of talking about functions, when he went, "Putting x < ∞ is like saying... your mum is a woman."
Then we all just stared at him for a second or two before laughing our asses off. Wow, how is he so sure my mum's a woman? (Mum, if you're reading this, you know I'm kidding. I do know for a fact that you're a woman.)
Now that was seriously epic.
Did angiosperms and endosperms in Bio. Ryan extended our "ten minute break" to at least twenty by engaging Mr Lee in a long discussion about the proper use of the term 'bryophyte' in taxonomy. Thank you Ryan.
I like Geog class. It's fun. Ms Chua apparently thinks our class is "very good", 'cause we like to disagree with almost everything everybody else says, and talk about a certain matter for like, ages. In short (pun not intended) be extremely longwinded.
And we're kinda lame too, at times. I don't know how she puts up with us, not to mention like us.
Better go off now. Feeling rather sleepy.
Night.

To be honest with you, I was feeling quite depressed earlier on.
Muse is performing in Singapore tonight, and I'm stuck here. I'm pretty okay with that now, I guess. It's not like they won't be coming ever again, right?
Though it does feel kinda awful knowing I'm missing out on some Muse awesomeness. But what to do?
It's near midnight as I type this. Cool.
There's nothing much worth talking about during school today, 'cept during our non-existent Malay class when we made another stupidly ridiculous bet.
Rules are pretty simple, but full of loopholes. I don't intend to cheat though, it's more fun to do it the proper way (and not cheat, unlike some people, who cheated).
And what makes this thing fun is that it's a mass thing. We've got at least seven or eight people playing (which is sorta epic).
I can't say much here, 'cause that's not allowed. But it is awesome, and I'll tell you that.
Was extremely unproductive during study time tonight. In fact, the most unproductive we've ever been.
Spent our time talking about exceedingly random things, like India, racism, temples in India, our confusing Geog notes (the slides jump everywhere and hardly make sense), traffic in India, our ridiculous bet, K.T. chasing buses in India, teachers, cheap Indian cars that catch fire from time to time, height, average height amongst Indians, how you get all the ladies if you're a Korean guy, the Taj Mahal, et cetera et cetera.
Managed to get past the eight hundredth page of LotR this afternoon. Mm yeah. Aragorn still owns.
Okay, going off now.
Adieu.
P.S. Racist communities are failed.
