FF.

I lost my golfball (the one I named 'Noodle' because I didn't want to call it "long and soft").

I launched it across the room and it bounced off my roommate's bed to God-knows-where. I'm hoping it'll turn up soon, so I can test out my launcher some more.

I decided to call our launcher 'GG', by the way.

That's because every time someone mentions "physics project", I say "GG'.

That's because we're definitely going to GG (my group, at least).

Feel kinda accomplished though, 'cause I managed to produce some crap (abstract art, I call it) and failed launcher in three hours with a ball of twine, pipes, and rubber bands (those red thin ones. Epic spam). And yeah, that's all. Somehow.

Come to think of it, I have no idea how that happened. I just hope people won't laugh when they see it.

And no, I am not ashamed.

Or am I?

Anyway, Physics aside, my sense of accomplishment also comes from finishing my Commonwealth essay (1575 words), and somehow coming up with something for Math.

Now all I need to do is that Physics report, Math reflections thing, English presentation and I'm good for the week.

Speaking of reflections, we came up with this during study time:

Four steps to score for reflections

1. Fake ignorance. "Oh my God, I never knew this was so horribly amazing."

2. Fake revelation. "This has finally opened my eyes up to the beautifully countless possibilities and amazingly useful uses of this *insert concept/idea/thingyou'resupposedtolearnfromproject here*."

3. Renewed passion. "After completing this/ in the process of researching for this I have realised how much I have loved *insert subject here* and I wish to learn more and delve deeper into the sheer breathtaking-ness of this topic, because it is simply brilliant."

4. Suck up. "I cannot thank you enough for presenting to me with this opportunity to research and learn more about this topic (of which I happen to adore profusely at the moment). Seriously, thank you."

Do that, and yeah, you're good.

Let's not talk about NAPFA. I am going to fail 2.4. Bleh.

Going off to read Chem now. Is the quiz tomorrow? I doubt.

Arrivederci.

P.S. Epic quotes of the day: "I'm sorry, but I left my discipline upstairs. Can I go get it?" / "How do you spell Yae?" "Yae A E..." / "I asked Mr Li if I had to submit it and he said 'submit to espace', and then I asked him how and he replied saying there was a typo and it was supposed to be "do NOT submit to espace."/ "How sure is your sure?" "As sure as my mum is a mother."

P.P.S. Will post about Melbourne 2010 when I've got the time. And I hardly have time nowadays. By the time I do it'll be time for Sepang.

P.P.P.S. Had an entertaining guest speaker for assembly today, for once.

P.P.P.P.S. And no, I no longer require sleep. So sad.

Vivace.

What happens when you wake up one morning and realise that you're not sleepy, but just plain tired?

Hmm.

Does it mean that when you go to sleep, you won't feel any better?

Hmm.

Anyway, haven't quite had the time to post lately, 'cause of that Physics test and Bio quiz and God knows what else.

Bio quiz was all right, I guess.

And I hope I pass Physics. If I somehow screw up really badly, I'm an ass.

Horrible time management.

Got plenty of stuff to do over the weekend too, and I probably won't be sleeping tonight, despite how little sleep I've been getting lately (which is relatively little, compared to last year, or even last term).

Sigh. Don't like writer's block. It's like an obstacle in Supermario. I'm still looking for that small red-spotted mushroom to make me larger so I can jump over said obstacle. I wish it were that easy.

I think Michelle and I are slightly addicted to being on duty. Manned the "big one" (the more professional-looking video camera) during 'Vivace' (that annual school concert thing) yesterday (since it's already Saturday as I type this).

Man, I think I used too many brackets last sentence.

It's like we get free backstage passes and free food. (Tsk, sound so cheapskate-ish here. But hey, free stuff makes us happy. Who's to blame us for being pleased so easily?)

Personally, I think this year's concert was better than last year's. Our orchestra seems to have improved quite a lot.

The best part was probably Dr Hang waltzing, and we had to seek some kind of non-verbal permission to shoot Dr Hang (you know, zoom in on him dancing), 'cause we were only allowed two pans.

Better go now. Can't keep eyes open anymore.

P.S. Can you believe we passed that practical I did with Shuen? Utter miracle.

P.P.S. Why on earth did I refuse to learn how to play the piano when I was younger? Such a stupid decision, that.

P.P.P.S. My golfball is called Noodle. And yes, golf balls are dangerous.

GG.

What's wrong with Bio?

Why doesn't anybody like Bio?

I love Bio.

And no, I'm not kidding you.

Gonna be busy busy busy.

Bleh.

Signed up for CCA duty 'cause I wanted to go to Vivace for free (is that bad? But I'm helping out, it's a good thing).

So basically going to be occupied tomorrow night and Friday night.

Then we've got the projectile stuff to do, and the Math investigative thing, and a Physics test to study for, and a Math graded task.

And that Chem worksheet I haven't touched, and the Commonwealth essay I still have writer's block for.

And probably that English presentation thing.

Now I feel bad for sleeping away my afternoon.

No fun.

Oh, and I love my golf ball. It's so cute and bouncy.

Free cone day.

Mm, epicness.

Went out to Vivo with MJ and Jean after class ended (I say class 'cause school never ends).

Free cone day is today. Ben & Jerry's is good ice cream, man. Some of their flavours might be a bit too sweet, but I love the ones with chocolate in them.

Queued half an hour for our first scoops, then went back for more ten minutes later. Like National Day at Hyatt for Bruneians, it's an annual thing, and we gotta make the most of it (and no, it's not that we have no shame).

So we had free ice cream. Twice.

Feel pretty bad for slacking though. At least we tried to attempt to do some bits of work and discuss a few "how-on-earth-do-you-solve-this" questions. You know.

The main reason why we don't fall asleep in Chem is because we keep making extremely lame jokes. Now Jookee's called Stephanie for some strange reason (and I think our Chem teacher actually likes it).

Went to one of the sixth floor labs, 'cause the partition between 05 and 06 was sorta open, and we could hear 06 having Chem as well (really, really clearly. Or is it 'cause I sit at the back?).

Giant toilet paper roll was still there.

Managed to win John Huang's poker cards back by answering questions (fifty-two of them, man), before they got re-confiscated. So much for the effort, but that's okay.

Oh, and thankfully no Physics test today.

Need to go amend my slacking time by reading up for Bio now.

Adieu.

P.S. Came up with this theory during study time: What if we wrote zero (or geeroh) like this: - and dashes like this: 0 ? Then today's date would be 230-302-1-. Cool.

Demi mengejar jutawan.

Internet connection sucks.

No surprises there.

But yeah, it definitely improves after midnight (touch wood), so I'm good right now.

Weather's quite cool right now, although I would've preferred it if it were less hot this morning during PE.

Check out this epic story Aisyah and I came up with during Malay.

Our topic was "mengahwini dengan jutawan", so there you go.

We were like, the only ones who drew out our story. Insan and Yos came up with some teka-teki (that's riddle for you non-Malay speaking folk) about a fake diamond (their topic was menghargai aku seadanya), and Kevin, Faiz and Ahmad came up with a strangely gay horror story about a lady who committed suicide (topic: baju merah).

Kreativiti pwnage.

Went through the Rhine worksheet thing during Geog. Kinda found myself nodding off later on in the lesson, but everyone sleeps anyway (actually no, but we do yawn occasionally).

It always feels a bit weird to type the word 'yawn', 'cause I always instinctively reach for the 'e' key before I type 'n'.

Anyway, had CCA directly after Geog. Just Michelle and I, 'cause we volunteered (or whatever you want to call it) to help out for this Chinese news video competition thing.

Spent five hours editing. I think I'mma have nightmares about sound-ripping and file-incompatibility, and they're all gonna have transitions in between.

Finally got it done though.

Better go read up on Physics, 'cause according to Zhen Jie, we've got a test tomorrow, which sucks.

Wish me luck (I honestly don't want to fail).

Adieu.

P.S. Totally willingly brought back today's copy of Berita Harian 'cause there's an entire page dedicated to Adam Lambert. Definitely gonna read it sometime soon.

P.P.S. Is everyone getting awesome ringtones? Fatinn's is Upin dan Ipin being awfully cute, Ahmad's is Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' (aka the RickRoll'D song), and Kelvin is probably going to change his to that weird song the Russian dude on RWJ sang. Hm.

Writer's block.

Holidays officially end in half an hour, and I've got a thousand more words to go for the Commonwealth essay we're supposed to write.

I've got writer's block, what can I do?

Wrote this three days ago:

Currently listening to 'Who I Am' by Nick Jonas & The Administration.
Great song. Love the music vid, and the black and white effect.
Never really paid much attention to the Jonas Brothers, but I think Nick Jonas is pretty talented.

But didn't bother to post 'cause that was all I could come up with.

Then when I actually had things to write about, Blogger and Gmail epic failed me. Couldn't load them at all, so it was a no-go.

I think Friday had to be the least boring day of my week in Brunei, 'cause I met up with Neko (and her friends), Fazrul, Baoxin at the Mall in the afternoon, then went out for Excapade and Swensens (the usual) with Shar, Manda and Stella at night.

Ate at Snow Ice, where they somehow didn't have any bananas. Like, how can you not have any bananas? Tsk.

Tried to get Fazrul to wear skinny jeans, but the guy simply refuses every time we ask.

Managed to get a huge load of tickets at the arcade with Baoxin later on, 'cause we were trying to hit the jackpot for this machine-thing. Kinda epic.

Made a rule with Manda, Shar and Stel that night. Couldn't order anything we usually order. So spent longer than usual trying to decide what to eat.

Had plenty of jokes to go around, and weird sayings to say.

Bruneians' holidays have just started, and we're here trying to finish off homework.

No fun.

Oh, and I managed to watch Idol. So far no favourites for me yet (or is that just because I hardly watch?).

Okay, back to essay now.

Night.

Air.

It's funny how you can have avoided the pool for years, and when you finally have the guts to step in again you find that when people say you won't forget how to swim, they're right.

Hmm.

Yos just asked, "What have you been doing?"

Truth is, I have no idea.

It's all wake up, then heck it's bedtime again.

Bleh.

Tried to do some work, yeah, tried.

Been wracking my brains for some sort of idea for the Commonwealth essay assignment thing (they made it compulsory, but I think I would've joined anyway), but can't seem to be coming up with anything exceedingly brilliant. Yet. Or maybe won't ever happen. But who knows?

Not getting anywhere for Math at all, which is kinda suckish. Gonna wake up early tomorrow morning to do something about that then.

Physics... bleh.

Managed to post two questions and two answers to two questions posted by other people for our Chem forum, with the help of MJ and Deb.

And MJ tells me that 'Use Somebody' is passable and won't GG. I sure hope not.

Oh, made a bet with Faiz this afternoon over Facebook. The bet is (and I'll make it official by posting it here) that he won't be able to lost at least ten kilogrammes by the end of this year.

If he does, I lose and will have to treat him to ten hours' worth of movies.

Pretty awesome, huh? I think it is.

I also thing that Richard Branson and Tony Fernandes have taken a leaf out of our book. Why else would they have made that stewardess bet?

Okay, better go now, if I want to wake up before nine tomorrow (which I doubt is gonna happen. I love my bed).

Night.

P.S. Could feel the pressure in my ear piercing when I dived underwater. Interesting.

Bahrain 2010

Oh my gee, F1. F1 post is finally here.

Mixed feelings about the results, but overall quite happy and satisfied with Ferrari's one-two.

Man, haven't had a Ferrari one-two in ages.

So, breakdown of race?

Here goes:

New teams, new faces, familiar teams, familiar faces, strange car colours (have you seen the shade of yellow Renault painted their R30?), lack of Kimi Raikkonen, Schumi back in, Alonso in red overalls.

Watched the repeat of qualifying, but couldn't quite get round to who was who and where for the first half hour or so. Alonso's Ferrari, Button's McLaren, Kovalainen in a Lotus. I've still got remnants of the '09 season stuck in my head, and I think the Star Sports commentators do too.

You can totally hear Steve Slater hesitating when he tries to identify drivers (very much unlike the ease he had previously). It's all, "And that is the uh... Sauber of...de La Rosa," and you can no longer go "yellow-white, that's a Renault (check helmet colour here) belonging to Alonso", or "green-white, that's a Brawn with Barichello at the wheel".

Feels all strange.

But as you know, we all need to adapt to change.

And hey, Alonso's done it pretty well. The guy managed to bring it all together in the F10 (which, in my opinion, doesn't have enough red on it) and clinch a Ferrari one-two along with Massa (welcome back, man. We've missed you).

Aside from Ferrari's great condition, Red Bull look pretty good themselves. It was a race Vettel should've won, but the poor dude had some mechanical problem with his RB6. Tsk.

McLaren too seem to have picked up all the pieces from last year and are once again amongst the front runners (which currently include Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes and McLaren). I think Button had some tyre problems earlier on, but I dunno. We'll see. Plenty of races to go. It is, after all, just the start of the season.

I think Ross Brawn is going to be slightly disappointed with the pace of Mercedes GP. And it's interesting how Rosberg is doing better than Schumi.

Chandhok was pretty epic, 'cause he crashed on his fifth lap ever with his HRT car. Like, ever. No testing before qualifying at all. Good for him though.

No other car from the new teams (HRT, Lotus and Virgin) finished 'cept both Lotus cars. Congratulations to them then, 'cause I think it has to be some kind of accomplishment to actually finish the race (albeit three laps down). I hope Richard Branson isn't crying right now. Virgin has plenty of time to catch up (although I'm secretly vouching for the Malaysian team).

Yeah, I think that should be pretty much it for now.

First race doesn't necessarily define everything that's to come, but often enough the winner of the first race of the season wins the Championship.

Gotta go now, and think up a story line for English. Bleh.

Need to wake up early to fully utilise the "my-brother's-at-school-so-there's-peace-and-quiet-to-get-things-done" time tomorrow.

Night.

P.S. I miss seeing K.Raikkonen on the timing screens.

P.P.S. Forza Ferrari, forever and more.

Skrewd.

Wootz, haven't posted for two days.

Started a few posts since Wednesday, but never got 'round to writing more than a few lines, so yeah.

Didn't have much to say anyway. Would've written stuff like "showing up for SSEF was probably a huge waste of time", and "e-Learning still sucks", but had to finish up English and Chem and pack for yesterday's flight back.

And as for yesterday, I would've written about how our House Carnival was probably not a fail at all, and how we spent our time hunting for helium-filled balloons, collecting "moon-rocks" and getting our hair sprayed red, yellow, green and blue, but I had to last-minute pack and catch a flight back.

Felt awfully sad, 'cause I finished off LotR during the flight. Was desperately trying to hold on to the final words, where Sam says to Rosie, "Well, I'm back."

It's like three months isn't enough. It feels good to be able to read other books again (I vowed not to read any other until I was done with LotR), but it still feels as if something's left me.

And since there is no way I'll be able to write a review on LotR without it getting too long, I'mma just say what I've been saying all these months: I love the Lord of the Rings.

Read Mitch Albom's 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven' this morning and over lunch. You know, to take a break from all the fantasy and epicness of LotR with something short and simple.

And yeah, it was short and simple. And extremely good.

It's hard to find books more meaningful nowadays.

Sometimes we might feel like our lives are completely pointless, but that's a completely incorrect assumption.

Perhaps everything does happen for a reason.

Qualifying is on tonight. Hope I can watch. Need to savour every single bit of F1 on television. Same goes for American Idol.

Gotta go like, do that assed online Physics assignment now.

Adieu.

P.S. F1 post will definitely come soon. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. Yeahh.

PE quiz?

Man, I feel so sad now.

Just got news from Ivy that Adam Lambert will be landing in Singapore in an hours' time or so, and he'll be performing at the new Universal Studios Singapore on Friday.

It's invitation-only, but man, I wish I could go.

It'd be nice to see Adam Lambert live.

But anyway, I'm totally cool with it now. Rationality has taken over my disappointment pretty fast.

By the way, check out how failed our E-learning is. PE quiz for Year 1s and 2s. Epic hilarious.

Got this pic off the Facebook group "eLearning is retarded...".

Tsk.

I seriously hope I'm getting my Chem mindmaps right. If not, I'll take after Mr Wong and go, "GG".

Didn't do much today either, but yeah, made some progress learning how to rollerblade at East Coast Park with Fatinn. Not bad for my first time ever (fell only once, although I think I kinda killed my wrist in the process. Still hurts and feels all funny, but whatever, I'm good).

Went from "OMG Fatinn don't let go of me" to "Hey, I can actually get somewhere on my own" within an hour.

Then gave up and cycled.

SSEF at Science Centre tomorrow. Kinda glad about it, 'cause there's no way I want to be cooped up in the hostel all day.

Back to e-learning work now.

Adieu.

P.S. Tried out 'Use Somebody' today, and man, it's a good song to play. Simple, and for once harder on the right hand than the left (either that, or left is just too easy). Credits to Cyrus and Joshua for the idea.

Talking bulls.

It's interesting how I often hear Sir David Attenborough going "but this ... can be never more ...... than, take for example, this particular species in Borneo".

Yeah, I do take pride in coming from the third largest island in the world, where many rare and endangered species thrive in some of the world's best tropical rainforest.

Hey, news just in from cnnbrk on Twitter (yes, I do follow the news sometimes. Literally), and it says that the first same-sex marriages have been held in the District of Columbia. Congratulations to all the couples, 'cause they've definitely been waiting ages for the law legalising same-sex marriage to be passed.

Now it's all over the news, people complaining, arguing, debating. Take a chill pill, people. It's no big deal. People get married all the time. Nothing wrong with that. Homosexuals marry for the same reasons heterosexuals do. Love, happiness, being together. Duhh. And because they've fought harder than straight people (who probably take marriage for granted and screw it up sometime) for the right to marry, they'll actually put in an effort to maintain the relationship. Good for them, I say.

Anyway, I need to tell you guys something. And that something is this: E-learning is the most failed thing our school has ever come up with. Ever. (Turnstile excluded, because nothing can top that.)

It's awful.

Personally, in my opinion, on a highly personal scale, this has so far been a total waste of energy.

I think the teachers have been given a quota for the amount of work they give us, and they've fulfilled it nicely. The thing is, they're due roughly the same days, and awfully sudden. It's kinda intimidating. Like you look at the emails and notifications and have absolutely no idea which one to do first.

Been pretty (relatively) unproductive, but whatever. Probably going to stay up late tonight. No school tomorrow, after all (e-learning doesn't count. It's a whole new level of hell).

Managed to come up with some stuff for the Math thing on functions and our Physics projectile thing in the afternoon with Verena and John Huang (who has loads of interesting ideas).

Basically I would love to distract Mr Wong during the actual launching day, lob the golf ball over the barrier into the targeted are and pretend it came from our projectile launcher. I don't see why not. Sure sounds effective.

Played around the fitness corner with Fatinn later on in the night.

Gotta go now, 'cause if not, I honestly won't get anything done before e-learning is over.

P.S. 305 Physics forum is awesome. Bull is bullsh*tting. Tahi kerbau.

P.P.S. Chem forum is scary. Don't dare look at it. Maybe I'll be braver tomorrow. Also, I can't seem to come up with reasonable questions that aren't ridiculously stupid.

Tired.

Whoever said E-learning week was gonna be slack needs to take it back.

I'm not kidding. It's awful. And definitely not "slack". Oh no, not at all.

In fact, I would much rather go to school. What's waking up early compared to the sudden influx of homework and online quizzes/assignments we're currently being bombarded with?

Honestly, compared to that, waking up early is a complete breeze.

Not really in the mood to be extremely hardworking and do things in advance right now. Kinda died today during 2.4 and our Geog test. Brain don't function (bleh, made a Math pun. Gross. Remind me to never do that again.)

Last-minute skimmed through my Geog notes during Mentoring. No idea why, but it kinda felt as if I didn't sleep at all last night. So weird.

Fell asleep after doing our English compre test. My watch left an epic mark on my other arm.

Went through the Math test I almost failed after English.

The second half of PE was awesome, 'cause we got to hang around after doing 2.4. Had plenty of fun playing around with the sprinklers with Debb, MJ and Rania. Got soaked, but that was all right. One of the best feelings in the world has to be that cool feeling you get when you're all wet in hot weather and the wind comes to dry you off.

Then we got interrupted by a fire drill. Probably one of the most efficient classes, 'cause we were already at the track (PE, duhh).

Malay was epic. I kid you not. Got to present that skit we wrote the other day. And we all kinda switched roles, which was funny. Ended up with me being the Dr Yang-Tidak-Bertanggungjawab, Aisyah as the driver, Kevin became the Korean chick Dr YTB was having an affair with, Insan as his wife, Ahmad as the judge and Faiz and Yos as the two people who got hit by Dr YTB's car.

And it was epic. Epic things to note include Ahmad's "CUKUP!", Kevin's "annyunghasaeyo", Insan's "saya isteri yang begitu hebat", and Yos apparently bursting into tears during his statement.

Oh, and what was cool about it that although we improvised half of it, our jalan cerita was actually good, and that it was probably our best skit to date. (That, and that we made loads of weird racist jokes.)

Geog test was okay. Hopefully my well-labelled diagram is well-labelled.

Okay, going off now. Seriously sleepy.

Night.

Stir-crazy.

Mmm, Adam Lambert.

Spent my entire day here staring at my laptop screen (and probably reading Geog too, but that doesn't sound as nice).

I think my eyes are dying.

Apparently the temperature's higher than usual, 'cause I've been seeing people complain all around the internet.

And yeah, I can totally feel it. It's probably during times like these when we wish we had air-conditioning here in the hostel. Seriously.

I mean, I'm all right with it most of the time, but on ridiculously hot and humid nights when you sweat by just sitting here doing absolutely nothing vigorous or even resembling exercise or movement, I wish with all my heart that we did have air-conditioning.

Paramore concert tonight, and people are hyped about how awesome it was. Bleh. I like Paramore, but man, I still would've loved to be at Muse's concert last month.

Can't really write much, 'cause the weather's really getting to me. Google says humidity is 74%, which is seriously awful.

Not looking forward to running rounds tomorrow. 'Specially in this weather.

Night.

P.S. I've got a poster of Johnny Depp on my wall now, courtesy of Syaf. Cool.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Emily just dropped by to hand me The Simpsons season 11, but I don't think I'll have time to watch, 'cause I've got plenty of school stuff to do, and LotR to read, and songs to practice, and I've got Spongebob in my hard drive.

But man, I totally need to catch up on TV. 'Specially when I get back home. American Idol, F1, here I come.

Listening to Cat Steven's (or should I say "Yusuf Islam's") 'Father And Son' and 'Wild World' right now via YouTube. Somehow popped into my head and got stuck there ever since coming back from West Coast Plaza (yeah, went there again for a cluster outing).

Lunched at Pizza Hut with Fatinn before heading to Iluma to watch Tim Burton's version of 'Alice in Wonderland' with Syaf, Nazihah and Yee Rou.

I don't really know if I'll ever watch a movie in 3D again, 'cause honestly, there was hardly any difference most of the time (or that could be my screwed-up eyesight speaking, so I dunno). But yeah, the things popping out were cool.

Anyway, the movie was good. It's not really like the book(s), but it was good all the same. Johnny Depp's acting is still awesome, and I absolutely love the Cheshire Cat (and Stephen Fry's voice is just perfect). Hookah-smoking caterpillar gave me the creeps though. So did Helena Bonham Carter's oversized head.

And yeah, I'm a fan (of both Tim Burton and Johnny Depp).

Brilliant film-making. Battle scene could have been better though.

Came back and then went out again for our cluster outing at West Coast Plaza. Ate at Sushi Tei. Yum.

Better go off now. Has stuff teh do.

Night.

P.S. Somehow I just really like watching movie trailers on YouTube. It's fun how they take an hour and a half long movie and turn it into something equally great that lasts only a minute and a half at most. It's genius.

P.P.S. "Off with her head!"

P.P.P.S. I'll probably need to read the actual books one day. Such a classic. Lewis Carroll has such imagination.

Mop braiding.

Plenty of epicness today.

Firstly, we braided a mop. Secondly, Mr Wong almost gave away fifty bucks. Thirdly, we braided a mop.

Fourthly, we made epic lame jokes in front of Cikgu during Malay about a certain newspaper article we're supposed to do a skit on (which reminds me, I've got the script to write, 'cause everyone decided to sabotage me again).

Fifthly, we braided a mop.

And sixthly, the epic "ZOMG DON'T EAT ME" face of this piece of Oreo cheesecake.

And yeah, we braided a mop.

Like, seriously. Check it out.

Ms Lau wasn't here for English today, but we had to stay in class anyway, so we were epicly jobless for the first half hour (and I was being nice and reading the articles she gave us) before Shuen, Yos and Zheng Wei decided to braid our mop. They were like, "Hey yawen, you want to help us braid a mop?" and I was like, "Yeah, sure." So we ended up braiding our mop, and braiding the braids we braided then tying them together.

We're epic.

You can now officially say that 305 is full of jobless idiots.

Chem quiz was pretty passable.

Was so glad I passed Math. Probably the only person in class to get below 20 and barely pass the test. Don't know why people don't believe me when I tell them I barely passed. But I did. No reason to lie.

No idea whatsoever what happened to me that day. It's like I looked at my paper and went blank then panicked for half my time. Ended up scribbling half-answers and dying. Assed clock didn't help either.

Bleh. So failed.

Managed to edit a bit of the Chinese Orchestra CNY performance during CCA today. Was listening super closely with Victoria to get the exact timing of each note so we could add in the other camera angle. Luckily Michelle and I ripped the songs off with the other Mac, so now it won't sound so choppy when we incorporate it.

Went out with Fatinn after that. Walked around West Coast Plaza 'cause we had nothing better to do. Had cake at Starbucks (and coffee too). Somehow reduced our slice of cake to this (before it made the epic "ZOMG DON'T EAT ME" face.

Mm yeah.

Jobless idiots FTW.

Music is teh love.

To quote Cheryl, thank God tomorrow's Friday.

Somehow it magically feels as if it's been a super long week, although it's still Thursday and the week's not over yet.

It's weird that way.

Listening to Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' now, 'cause my iTunes is still on shuffle (I find it hard to decide between songs sometimes). It kinda reminds me of my dad, 'cause whenever this song comes on anywhere he'll start pretending to be all rocker.

Sometimes, when I listen to music, I feel the need to thank my dad. I mean, without his interest in music I wouldn't have found mine. I used to think my dad was extremely cool when I was a little kid, 'cause he'd randomly pick up his steel-string acoustic electric (whose case I'm using now to replace my previous one) and start playing and singing and I'd be like, "Man, I want to be able to do that."(I still think he's pretty cool though, except that now I kinda pwn his skillz.)

Thank you, dad.

Anyway, caught my Terrible Twos mouse during Bio today (if anyone asks, it was during the ten minute break we were given). Shuen was like, "Yawen, I hate you. I don't even have my Rockstar yet."

I like Bio. It's interesting.

Talked a bit about flooding during Geog. I think it's something you can't discuss in earnest if you haven't really experienced true flooding before.

Unless you've been late for school several times because no car can brave the road outside your house without breaking down, or unless your pet rabbits have been in danger of drowning overnight outside, or unless people write in to your local newspaper to complain about the poor drainage system every rainy season, you probably wouldn't care much. But I dunno. Just sayin'.

I like Geog. It's interesting.

Wish I could say the same about Math though. But honestly, I'm not good with numbers.

Peribahasa quiz-ed during Malay. Spent the first forty minutes making lame jokes with the peribahasa and testing each other (which kinda annoyed Cikgu, 'cause we were secretly trying to race each other in answering).

Can pass, definitely.

Went out to Jurong Point with MJ, Cheryl and Ivy after Malay. Had prata (yum), walked around for a bit checking out a few things, came back.

The weird looks people give me when I'm walking towards school instead of away from it make me feel rather uncool.

Sleepy.

Night.

P.S. I think I might have found out why my correction tape runs out so fast and why my pens keep disappearing: Yos. Deprived ass needs to get his own stationery.

P.P.S. I really need to get one of those pirate earrings.

P.P.P.S. And yeah, I still love pirates.

To The End -MCR

Feel rather accomplished right now, 'cause I managed to finish Math ass. B without having to copy off anyone like I always do (and shamelessly admit to doing).

Yeah, proves I actually have a brain. It's just that sometimes, I'm too lazy to use it 'cause it takes ages for it to boot up. Like, epic lag.

Spent my afternoon in the pantry, doing God-knows-what. I came back from school, got kicked out of my room 'cause of the fumigation thing, went to the pantry and poof three hours were over. And I wasn't able to connect to the internet there, either, so it's kinda a huge mystery how I managed to survive that long. I can't even remember what I was doing. Something like browsing through all the files on my laptop and listening to my iTunes on shuffle.

Weird.

Played games on our phones and Mousehunted while discussing our Cyber Wellness proposal themed "too much gaming will ruin your life" during ACE today. Talk about ironic.

Math was all right.

Spent two hours of nothingness (non-existent Malay and lunch) playing around with Ahmad's modified Nerf gun (seriously awesome), talking about random stuff and I honestly can't remember what else.

I think my memory might be failing me.

Oh well.

The internet is acting up and being all problematic again. And the weather is still freakishly humid. No fun.

Need to go memorise peribahasa for a quiz tomorrow.

But memorising is relatively easy.

Arrivederci.

P.S. I love MCR. Sometimes I just feel the need to say it.

Fat guy rave.

Funny video on YouTube just made my day.

Been complaining about Math and feeling seriously down about it all night long, and then I watch this vid of a fat guy "raving" about his error-ing PS3 and laugh for fifteen minutes on end.

Man, my cheeks ache.

And man, that felt so good.

It almost makes me feel like I can go back to doing Math again. (Actually yeah, was going to anyway, but it seems nicer to say that. Like how we can determine the "correct" Lewis structure by looking at how "nice" it seems.)

Anyway, homework, assignments, quizzes, tests and graded class tasks aside, school's been pretty okay.

Mr Wong is epic. I think we've started becoming rather obsessed with "geeroh", "the answer is 'C' " and "spot the Physics mistake".

I really need to find a way to keep awake during Math.

Speaking of which, Math calls to me.

Adieu.

P.S. Oh, and I can't post the link of the fat dude here because it's rather vulgar and my mum sure wouldn't approve of that. (Hi mum, love you.)

P.P.S. Endorphins FTW.

Mengejar kereta.

I find it funny when I tell people I like Adam Lambert, and they respond with a disgusted look and say, "He's gay."

Yeah, I know that. Would you telling me that somehow be able to change my mind and make me despise him? Does it matter if he's gay? Would it somehow affect his amazing voice and beyond excellent singing ability? Hell no.

People need to start realising that sexual orientation doesn't matter. Gays, lesbians and bisexuals are no different from us. You're not perfect either if you're straight.

Anyway, some people are starting to become very aware of "2012 and the end of the world". What if it really happens? Check out Haiti (death toll over 200, 000), take a look at Chile (death toll 800 and rising), spare a thought for the people in Europe suffering the winter storms (death toll currently at 59), and the relatively short time span in which these events happened.

Like, seriously? Has it just occurred to you that our existence is limited? That we're all going to have to die one day, and we don't know when? Have you just realised that there's more to the world than the petty problems you can't seem to be able to put aside and the grudges you hold that are too dear to let go of?

Interesting world we live in.

On an entirely other note, school today was fine. Wrote a formal letter during English (explaining your choice between being interested in failed teenagers, little kids, or old people), failed completely during PE (I'm a failure, that's why), did some past year O-level paper during Malay, fell asleep during Geog, and completely guessed my way through the NSC selection test (if the answers all turn out to be 'C', I'm doomed).

I've got extremely weird song choice suggestions for Talentsearch.

Shi Ni says I should do High School Musical (which is like, a complete NO), Joshua says I should do Glee and jump about the stage trying to be five people at once, Shuen says I should do Lily Allen's 'F*ck you' (completely with the censoring, so basically the entire song will be "beep beep beep"), and Yos says I should do stop and stare. Like, literally. I think I'd get kicked out if I start staring creepily at the judges.

Came up with this epicly lame joke during Malay. "Apakah tanda-tanda tsunami yang dapat kamu lihat?" "Ombak yang besar. Macam ini: 'Lihat, ada ombak besar! Saya rasa itu tsunami.'"*

Our teacher can't stand us.

Anyway, better be off now. Has things teh do.

Night.

P.S. Butt herpes?

*translation: "What signs of an oncoming tsunami will you be able to see?" "A giant wave. Like this: 'Look, a giant wave! I think that might be a tsunami.'"
