Asymptote.

I'm here practicing for our letter-writing test tomorrow. Oh yes I am.

I find it hard to believe that Spa is just around the corner (I've been hearing people use this phrase a lot lately, so I've decided to give it a shot), given that ("given that" is Math talk, by the way) it seems like only yesterday summer break started.

Just in case you didn't get me there, I'll rephrase: The Belgian Grand Prix is this Sunday and the few weeks between the Hungarian Grand Prix and now have flashed by so amazingly fast I am left astounded.

Hope that helped.

Listening to Coldplay at the moment, 'cause Coldplay makes me feel all chill and relaxed.

And I honestly need to pull myself together if I want to pass that Math test we have tomorrow.

Speaking of tests, I'm extremely unsure when our Geog test is going to happen. Tomrrow? Monday? Tomorrow? Monday? I don't know, and I'm hoping hard it's not tomorrow (or there'll be high chances I'll fail it).

Sad.

Physics prac today was unfun. Don't like confusing calculations. (Although I am kinda proud of myself for managing to tweak the gradient of my curve to shave a few hundred degrees Celsius off my absolute zero value.)

Malay was... Malay. Cikgu sure puts a lot of faith into us for O-levels this year.

Had some briefing about OBS (that's 'Outward Bound Singapore' for all you Bruneians out there) during ACE. But there's no way I'll go 'cause I like to be home.

Bio was... Bio. Note taking, lame joke making, Ryan answering every question Ms Fong asks, yeahp, not much difference.

Okay, better go now.

Wish me luck for Math.

Adieu.

P.S. I love this consistently cool and rainy weather we're having.

Methyl salicylate.

You know, I didn't previously know that 'Asian' was an option under 'Style' on YouTube channels.

I'm not sure whether I should be proud, or depressed.

Are we such a joke that we can become a style of comedy all on its own, or are we just that awesome?

I think I'll go for the latter.

You Westerners just love us Asians, don't you?

Anyway, nothing much happened today, 'cept that we had a Chem prac (and a few breakages, none of them by me, thankfully) and an ujian karangan for Malay.

It's funny how methyl salicylate smells a lot like root beer. (I looked it up, and it's actually used as a flavouring for root beer, so that explains it.)

Mr Tan wouldn't let us write down "smells like root beer" on our prac 'cause apparently "root beer" isn't a valid description.

I've never liked root beer anyway.

Beer, yes, but not root beer. Don't find the taste to my liking at all.

But beer, oh beer, I like that.

Man, feeling thirsty now.

Drew graphs for Math and that was it. Not much advancement, but I like the pace 'cause I can actually understand things at this rate (yeah, I know, I'm slow, but what to do?).

Then had Malay, after like, a week and a half of no class. No comment. Well, what's there to say about it? Still need to get that script done though.

Okay, I'm blabbering. Should stop now.

Arrivederci.

P.S. Just a thought, but I think I can get through many, many posts titling them after organic compounds.

Scorpions.

Been listening to stuff on and off all day, but haven't quite found anything that stuck with the moment (I'm not sure how else to explain the feeling).

Had a brief hour or so stint with MCR, then went on shuffle, and then back to MCR, and then kinda gave up for a while, went out to have dinner with Fatinn, Nazihah, Yee Rou and Faiz, and then came back, and then 'Wind of Change' was up and then I knew.

Oh yeah.

Mmm, Scorpions. They have this distinct sound about them. That arpeggiated, punctuated with sweet rings of distortion, airy kinda feel they have. Mmm yeah.

The Scorpions songs I have in my iTunes are courtesy of my parents ('cause it's totally from their era).

Did nothing much yesterday, and did nothing much today, too.

Bleh.

Now I'm starting to feel as if I'm wasting my life away (again).

Oh well. These things happen.

Going to start being productive from this second onwards.

So I'mma hurry up and finish up with this post so I can go do more productive things.

I like to blog. I like to blog because it helps me tell the world certain thoughts that would make me look weird if I were to simply go up to someone and tell them about. The great thing is that it doesn't seem weird at all for me to type my thoughts out here 'cause I'm not making anyone read it, and that I can come back to them and read them for future reference (although for what occasion I might need them for other than memory's sake I have no idea).

I like it 'cause I can do it in my own time. Nobody's making me do it. I do it because I want to. Even if nobody read this blog of mine I'd do it anyway, because I enjoy writing rubbish and posting it onto the internet.

Okay, gotta go now. Productivity starts... now.

Adieu.

P.S. Faiz asked, "Johnny Depp or Adrien Brody?" Honestly, I can't decide.

RedTwoAdePlus

Listening to Adam Lambert right now. Mm.

I kinda like it that he sings quite a number of genres, but I don't like it that he doesn't write his own songs. I mean, he can "Adam Lambert-ify" songs people write for him, but we still don't know what kind of music goes on in his mind.

One of the reasons why I prefer bands to solo artists is that they tend to write their own material and have their own sound (which turns out to be a good thing for me if I find it to my liking).

Can't believe it's Friday already. Three days of school and boomz, it's a weekend all over again.

I should be feeling glad 'cause I get to wake up considerably later again tomorrow (and hence get enough sleep), but somehow deep inside of me it kinda feels weird.

It's like school's such a huge part of our lives that when you take it away at odd intervals, we're all secretly lost inside (at least, that's what I think).

My iTunes is on shuffle right now (it often is. It's not easy to choose from roughly a thousand songs sometimes. And it's fun to rediscover songs when they get played) so I'm just typing out whatever comes to mind at the moment.

Cat Steven's 'Matthew and Son' reminds me of home, 'cause my dad used to sing it all the time. It was kinda like one of the few songs he can't forget how to play, so whenever he picked up a guitar he'd play it (another of those songs was 'Wonderful Tonight', if I remember correctly. My dad's repertoire is pretty limited, but I'm totally proud of him all the same).

It's fun that way.

Plenty of stuff happened today, definitely.

English was probably the epic-est 'cause of that commercial skit we had to present today.

Advertised sports drinks, mineral water, coffee, microwaveable pizza, weight loss chicken wings, weight loss drinks, the iKnife, PSLE tuition, headphones, and saliva.

Guest teacher who was there to give us marks probably came to a conclusion that 305 really likes drinks, is extremely weight-conscious, has a thing for Justin Bieber, and in general, is terribly, awfully, horribly lame.

Absolutely loved Joo Kee and Chee Seng's commercial(s) on some fictitious brand of mineral water. Oh the Justin Bieber references.

Oh man we're so lame. I love that we're lame.

All right, better go off now.

Sleep, or Sherlock Holmes? Hmm. Hard decision.

P.S. Joo Kee: *throws bottle across room* "Whoops, I dropped it."

Pendekar Bujang Lapok.

Oh my gee. Oh my gee. Oh my gee. Oh my gee. Oh my gee.

Watching 'Pendekar Bujang Lapok' right now and it's awesome. Seriously, ia memang tak masuk akal. But seriously, lucu lah.

The wonders of Malay comedy. I love it.

The last time I watched any P. Ramlee was probably many, many years ago. Hardly remember anything, but man it's great now that I'm rewatching it.

I love the black and white, I love the really lame script, I love how the actors act in such an endearing manner (it's so cute).

Man, those were the days.

Who needs iPads and PS3s when you've got good old-fashioned humour?

Anyway, school today was a relatively short day.

Had Math (after six Math-less days) and revisited our best friend Trigo.

Had Geog and watched weird YouTube videos on Mount St Helens.

Had Physics and was introduced to the "zeroth" law, which is just common sense translated into equations.

Had English, and didn't do our commercial skit ('cause it's apparently tomorrow).

Then came back, played The Sims 3, browsed the internet a bit, wasted time during study time talking about this book we're going to write, and now I'm back here watching 'Pendekar Bujang Lapok'.

Ah, life's good when you don't have things to do that are due the next day.

Adieu.

P.S. Now that I've watched it, I do not want to be acting as Ros. No way, man.

Fasting.

Hey blogosphere.

Don't you hate those days when your brain doesn't seem to be functioning at all? I hate them.

It's like you're trying and trying and yet you just can't get anything done right and you don't know why and you feel horribly frustrated because somehow you know how to do something but you just can't process it into coherent thoughts.

Yeah, I think I might be having one of those days.

And I have this feeling my mum's going to call me again to tell me about the importance of breakfast.

I wish I had more time to do other things. Things other than work and work and more work.

Yeah, I'm just another student speaking.

Anyway, on a lighter note, Ramadhan's started.

The feeling of Ramadhan in Brunei is great, but over here it's just "meh, okay, you're fasting".

It's sometimes fun to come from a Muslim country 'cause the Chinese people get to feel the Raya (Aidilfitri) feelin' and it's like a second CNY, which is awesome (oh the good food).

So yeah, selamat berpuasa to everyone (especially all my homies back home, love you guys and miss you guys loads).

Adieu.

P.S. Oh yeah, I am so Chinese.

Glass of water.

Woke up today feeling all, "OMG there's still no school today", but that feeling's kinda worn off 'cause honestly, without school, I have nothing better to do than sit here and watch YouTube videos and play The Sims 3 all afternoon.

Speaking of YouTube videos, here's one that really got me amazed. Being able to draw well is probably one of the coolest talents out there. Pencil, paper, and you're ready to go.

I think some people were just born to be able to do what they love to do so well, they can make a living out of it.

And thanks to YouTube, a lot of these people get discovered. It's funny that ten years or so ago they wouldn't have had all these opportunities to showcase their talent (a lot of these people include a certain Mr Bieber, unfortunately, so I'm having second thoughts as to whether I should be using the word "talent" here).

I'm thinkin' here that I spend too much time on YouTube.

I love the sound of Michael Bublé's voice. Just felt like saying that.

I would seriously consider going out with any guy who can sing and play the guitar like Jason Mraz does. I kid you not. Have you ever seen Jason Mraz sing live? He's an entertainer, all right.

But who am I kidding? It's a lost cause.

Back to school tomorrow. Back to normalcy.

Need to get stuff done. Bleh, stuff.

Adieu.

P.S. The more I read 'Sherlock Holmes' the more I think of Robert Downey Jr solving crimes in an Ironman suit. It's frightening.
