Elementary, my dear Watson. Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Not a bad movie, though they shouldn't have left the ending for a sequel.

If they had followed through with the whole story, it would have had been longer, but it would then allow them to have another story as a 'sequel', which would have been much more interesting rather than forcing people to watch the sequel to find out what that guy wanted.

Me wants. Tuesday, December 29, 2009

My only fear is that it doesn't seem to exist in Singapore.

It's amazing, Tuesday, December 29, 2009

Just amazing what 2-3 years can do.

Talking then was like breathing. And now it's like getting to know someone, all over again.

Only this time, there're no ice breakers or orientation.

It's like either of us has become an extraterrestrial, a big foot, a loch ness to the other.

In the past we have searched for each other like madmen,

Only to find now that neither of us existed.

It's like neither cares knows where the other has gone, or gives a damn at all.

iPhone. Saturday, December 26, 2009

Not that i have it,

But i think too many people have it.

In a bid to become technologically advanced in society, some, or rather majority have given up uniqueness for an iPhone. And when they get one, they don't fully utillise the iPhone by sticking with the freaking ugly pre-loaded theme (that is if it even qualifies as one).

I mean, what's wrong with NOT owning an iPhone?

It's not like you can't fit into society, or get into the latest trends, or the latest groups (as ESPN News seems to suggest), so what's up with the mad rush with everyone in getting that piece of 'elusive' and 'exclusive' piece of device, that has been much sought after since Apple added an Ass to the phone?

IMO, the main reason is mainly due to the fact that many believe that Apple = Good. Well, it's what the adage said "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Though i would very much doubt apple's ability to prevent say H1N1, HIV, or any new and undiscovered diseases. Also, they believe that it is a WONDERFUL alternative to the Mac!

Lol. Kiss my ass.

I've seen people browsing the internet on macs, playing ridiculous games or checking out scores and the like. Well GO HOME. Mac can do A LOT more than that. The iPhone is just a fragment of a mac. It is incomparable.

Though, i will be/remain a hypocrite and say but more iPhones; so Apple can have more R&D for me :)

Stay. Thursday, December 24, 2009

Stay home for Christmas Eve.

For Christmas.

For New Year's Eve.

Stay where you don't belong, and you shall taste what it's like to belong.

Man i should get some of this mini figures.

It's time. Wednesday, December 23, 2009

It's time to shy away from the crowd.

It's time to stop going with the crowd;

To use the old trend-setter: Nokia.

Or the current trend-setter: Sony Ericsson.

Or maybe the future trend-setter: Samsung.

It's time to break away.

It's time to move away.

And try something new. Something bold.

Wants/Needs a new phone... Recommendations? Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Partly, the need arises from laziness to clear my inbox, which just refused to receive any new smses until i deleted some of the smses from like... teacher's day?

Now how the hell did i reach 1300+ smses from September the first?

Interesting.

Anyway, i'm probably gunning for a HTC Android phone since windows phones don't work with mac phones, or i'm just going to wait for the next iPhone to come out.

My genie, Monday, December 21, 2009

Where art thou?

I have rubbed your cold, metal exterior thousands of times.

I've tried everything from the 4 elements to try to wake you up.

I've waited long for that green smoke to arise from that small opening.

I've waited long for you to appear.

My 3 wishes aren't used up at all, so where are you?

God speed, my genie. I know not where you've gone, and for how long.

But i do know you're not in your warm, cosy bed, where you belong.

How i wish for you to pop out of that lamp right now, yet how i forget no one's there to grant that wish.

It's surreal. Saturday, December 05, 2009

Flying off to Japan on Tuesday morning. Morning as in morning super early morning. Morning as in the night-time when people normally sleep nowadays - i don't, for one.

And it's just so unimaginable. I can't believe that it's really happening, but yet my gut instinctively tells me that something big's about to happen. And yet, this conflict inside is, well, conflicting.

Anyway, I will try to blog whilst at Japan (my cousin's bringing his laptop - i'm not bringing mine), random updates, I will have my Ipod and WiFi - a man's best friend.

Lastly, i will be bringing my phone overseas, so for like the 1 or 2 who actually visit my blog once in a blue moon, heed this warning:

Call me, but i will not pick up.

SMS me, i shall not reply.

Obviously the phone is strictly for emergency purposes only. It is not a plaything. In the meantime, enjoy life and i will be back on 15th December, and yes, in time for class chalet.

Crossroads Monday, November 30, 2009

Crossroads.

I've thought i saw your bitter end,

only to know how true that ain't.

You drove like hell on devil's bend,

but with your luck you steered from end.

In time we see your crazy plan,

and vent and dent your anger then.

Come to papa! Monday, November 30, 2009

Just reserved after finding out the cheaper price for this at tampines! Getting it tomorrow, can't wait!

Though i've got to stay away from this until at least i've finished most of my holiday h/w.

But,

Temptation is not for resisting.

Damn. Sunday, November 29, 2009

Really want Assassin's Creed II.

Tbh, the limited collector's edition's statue looks freaking awesome. But it's kinda expensive. Maybe i should wait till i get back from Japan (7th - 15th [So don't sms me or call me unless you wanna waste your money]) before making a decision.

Nevertheless, the game is a must have.

Circus. Saturday, November 28, 2009

I find it simply amusing.

The level of intelligence you presumably have.

The naivety of your thoughts - those worthless thoughts of desire; the useless dreams you concoct in that lovely facade of yours daily.

And in this i find entertainment.

For the mind, to revel at your stupidity. You are a jester in my court; a clown in my circus.

And then,

I see the wonders in front of my sight,

sparkling like diamonds in the night.

Only to realise that i don't have the might.

Emmy award, anyone?

72 Sunday, November 22, 2009

Had tennis yesterday. Yes. Yesterday. And by 'yesterday' i meant Saturday. I wonder when the band trend of CCA on saturday ever spread to tennis.

So we had 3 hours of tennis, which basically tested our tennis ability based on some extremely weird test which had a bag load full of assumptions tossed in it, concocted into a potion bred for disaster.

I apparently scored 72 points - summed up from my groundstrokes, volleys, serve and physical ability. This, in the 'rulebook' translated to an intermediate player, and nothing in some stupid rating. Apparently i am 8 points away from being rated.

Well at least i'm not the worst there.

180 Friday, November 20, 2009

I hate this rubbish.

I hate it's unpredictability.

It's torturous conditions.

It's interminable duration.

The blood and sweat stains the neon objects.

Short.

Long.

Wide.

The nagging.

The sprinting.

The waste of time.

The amount of missed opportunities.

No recycling for this piece of junk.

STOP. Wednesday, November 18, 2009

The stereotypes.

10 Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Top 10 percent of cohort.

And you get shortlisted for some Talent Management Program.

Well, apparently, i'm writing it here for a reason, so it should be simple enough to figure out.

After being shortlisted, there is an interview to select a few elite to join the program.

1045 hours.

T minus 12 hours, 15 minutes... And counting.

Though the question is, will i, ultimately be willing to sacrifice 3/4s of my saturdays a month for this? I might, considering it affects my future - landing a spot in here or there, for free or not. Seems like a good deal, though i've read and seen enough to know that there's always a catch to everything.

Deal, or no deal?

2 days ago... Monday, November 16, 2009

Was my birthday!

Went to PP in the morning - mid-afternoon, got a new mouse and a freaking cool starbucks tumbler which looks exactly like the cup which they give to you when you order like frappucinos and what not.

After which, had a brief period of rest before going off to Thomson plaza for dinner @ Sushi Tei. What can beat their Umaki? Curry Udon? Chawanmushi?

Meeting: 9 a.m. Friday, November 13, 2009

Final submission for everything associated with PW!

Finalised GPP.

I&R.

GPF.

After what seems to be an eternity, the plague of PW has finally ended upon all JC1s of the year 2009. However, what remains to be seen of the final outcome? Remember to tune in next year to the new season of PW.

I think i should remove tagboard end of this month if there's still nothing.

It's kinda distracting, in my opinion. LoL.

OP Saturday, November 07, 2009

Is OVer!

Didn't really know if we really put up a good show, but just hope that everything is okay. Though i got that feeling that i screwed up Q&A though.

For some reason (maybe due to The Beatles: Rock Band) i've been hooked on to The Beatles music rather than MUSE. Perhaps its that they have so many nice songs to listen to. Perhaps its the way they write their songs that it even fits with the song. Maybe it's me trying to figure out what every song means.

Oh yeah, 63.75 A level points for promos = 2nd in class (well at least that's what i think anyway)

OP blues Monday, November 02, 2009

OP this friday. Which leaves me with a little over 3 days to effectively prepare for it.

The group has also (IMO) kinda screwed up our dry runs, which i think isn't a very good indicator of our progress.

However, amidst this pile of bad omens, there is one piece of good news however: there will be

NO

Moderators

Chief Internal Moderator

External Moderators

during my OP! (As previously thought) Though, in truth, i don't think it gives us any excuse to put up a good 'show'

New Lows Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Getting kinda tired of some who just can't seem to think or something. I would say it to be more of like 'surprising boredom'.

PW ends in around 2 weeks time. After which, if i'm not wrong is the ominously dubbed 'holiday lectures', which i doubt anyone is looking forward to since the school can't seem to stop rushing through the syllabus such that we can have more quote-unquote revision time. But, what's the use of having more revision time if at first we don't understand the content well/perfectly?

Personally, i don't get whats the thing with the media's constant obsession with Ris Low, which often results in new entries for the English,

I meant Singlish dictionary. On one hand, they have gotten too far. On the other, she has.

I don't really get why people use her words so much when they themselves mocked her so much. Somewhat hypocritical, IMO, unless they are mocking her, in which case is a joke which has outlived its purpose and comedic appeal.

A beautiful disaster Monday, October 26, 2009

OP dry run was a beautiful disaster.

The group was more or less, totally unprepared for the majority, and the slides had not much of coherence. Q & A was not that good, i had like a pause for eternity just trying to think of something to say.

First run?

Think again. The real OP is next friday. Yes. First day. One of the first groups. Moderators coming? Unknown. Prepared? Not really.

And whats more theres still I & R, which i am totally clueless about. Thanks for canceling PW lecture last minute.

Though, gotta admit. The impending end to PW is near. In around 2 more weeks. We will be free like the birds in India, freed from the cages of men to allegedly bring them luck.

And after that; what's to come?

More tennis? 'Enrichment/Supplementary' lessons?

Rushing. Thursday, October 22, 2009

WR due tomorrow!

Editing like crazy!

Cutting word count like crazy!

Hiatus until saturday like crazy!

Skeletons in the closet Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Went to the dentist yesterday, which was the first checkup since sec 3. Checked awhile and the dentist said that she needed to do 6 fillings. Yes. No typo.

6

There was also some cleaning by the dentist. Sparkly clean i suppose.

So after all the pain and suffering experienced by my darling molars, i went home with a sore throat. And i could hardly sleep at night. And when i woke up this morning i felt like crap. Went to school in the morning and had some degree of flue - runny nose and the sort. Then decided to see a doctor at night. He told me that it was the drilling from the teeth filling that caused the germs to 'fly' into my throat, causing the 'redness' he sees in my throat.

So much for customs and spot checks.

Alpha. Monday, October 19, 2009

I must resist the temptation.

¥ Sunday, October 18, 2009

OP is about to start soon. In a few months time.

WR is going to be due soon. This Friday.

I am going to (title) at end of the year.

Post Promo Activity: WR Friday, October 16, 2009

Had a maths lecture at 10:25, but school started at 7:30.

My group decided to chiong WR before then, chiong chiong chiong. After 2 periods of maths lecture, chiong again. All the way until around 1+PM, where i decided to stay to do WR whilst they went off to interview someone (Cos we changed proposals). 30 mins later, they returned, and said they weren't able to interview that guy cause, apparently, we didn't follow protocol. The irony is that we have been waiting for a reply to our email for several days already.

When they came back, i found out i wasn't able to save the edited draft! 30mins of hard work gone down the drain. Was so scared that what i edited would all be gone, but found out only later that it was the references section which was not there. Lucky i had copied it to somewhere else already.

Was seriously a mad rush since our ST just returned us our previous draft around 2-3 days ago. Adding to that, Monday is a holiday in lieu, and our WR file isn't small enough to be sent through email, which just had to finish it by today.

To all those with Promos finished - Have fun, while you still can.

"Under the sea~" - Not. Thursday, October 15, 2009

Official results for Promos.

GP - 61/100 (B)

H2 Maths - 62/100 (B)

H2 Econs - 55/100 (C)

H2 History - 58/100 (C)

H1 Eng. Lit - 58/100 (C)

Its funny how the two papers i got today were of the exact same mark - History and Lit. And whats even more interesting is the trend of the marks for my history essays (4 in total). First essay, 16. Second, 15. Third, 14. Fourth, 13.

And of course, these results are not moderated.

Complications of the mind Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Our PW ST broke the news to our group that we would be one of the first few groups to present. First few as in 1st or 2nd one.

How great. Its a freaking double edged sword.

And if MOE accessors come down, oh great. Goodbye 10 points!

1984 Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Doublethink.

Thinking about it, life is just one haven for the paradox enthusiast.

Disappointment Tuesday, October 13, 2009

No papers today. Will only get all by thursday.

Will be getting back maths tomorrow, heard a particular class had half of them with As.

Get out of my life. Monday, October 12, 2009

I know, for a fact, that being the extreme psychopathic stalker that you are, you are 99.99993% reading my blog. I WILL, for a fact, throw a thousand criticisms at you if you continue attempting to communicate with just one more time, i will personally and dutifully list them all down here. I don't give a damn shit about any feelings then.

Everyone has a tipping point. We can be a dormant volcano for one minute, and the next, we can blow up magma and ash into the sky. We can cause cataclysmic flows, scorching everything in our path. Pathetic fallacy, if I'm not wrong about it.

My advise?

Read the title. Once. Twice. Thrice. Hundreds, thousands of millions of minds. Have those 5 golden words etched in that goddamned block of a brain you have that takes a power drill to get something carved onto it.

Do not even reply. Do not even react. Do not even think.

P.S. To the rest out there, no prizes for guessing who this is. Though you may confirm in private conversations the 'Mysterious' (yes its sarcastic) identity of this pathetic excuse of a human being. :)

Tomorrow's the day. Sunday, October 11, 2009

Its the start of a series of days.

Whereby we get our Promo Papers back.

And I'm just waiting for someone to say something similar to this - "So you think you can fufill the promotion criterion? Think again."

Building a house Saturday, October 10, 2009

It can take a 100 men to build a house, but one man can bring it down.

Be it,

A spark of insanity.

A rash instant.

A day of overwhelming self-confidence.

One man is all it takes.

The arsonist is moving.

There is a crack in the hourglass Thursday, October 08, 2009

Requiem Monday, October 05, 2009

Its finally over!

Promos are history!

Maths was easy except for the application of differentiation question. Didn't really understand why people were complaining about it when they set it to be so easy.

Now only time will tell as to how many will be left in class next year. I hope its still the same. Though for some, I'll admit it is looking bleak.

Guess the paper

After 3 hours of pain, Friday, October 02, 2009

I declare hiatus over! Well, i guess it wasn't really there in the first place.

Had to write 4 essays in 3 hours. Yup. One every 45 mins if you take the average. No breaks, no nothing. 3 hours straight. My newly refilled pen ran out of ink after the exam. That was pretty much the same for econs essay + case study.

Not only do exams waste paper but they waste ink as well.

We should really move into the 21st Century.

∑ r from r=1 to 4 Thursday, October 01, 2009

Econs and Lit over. And i realised quite a disturbing pattern.

GP - 1 Essay

Lit - 2 Essays

Econs - 3 Essays

History (tomorrow) - 4 Essays

Seems like an A.P to me.

Anyway felt that so far the papers were okay, though had a bit of screw ups here and there, i think i should be fine, hopefully.

The picture says it all Wednesday, September 30, 2009

The old, cliched question. Tuesday, September 29, 2009

To hiatus or not to hiatus, that is the question.

Or rather,

To facebook or not to facebook, that is the eternal question.

Curious case of missing papers Monday, September 28, 2009

As mentioned previously, GP exam was on saturday. We were supposed to collect our history mock exam paper that very same day, but i forgot; i had already taken the bus near the MRT. Feeling a sense of urgency and guilt, i decided to go back to school and take the papers - for comments, which may help to improve my essay writing.

Went up to the locker and tried to find my paper. Missing. Ok. Might be with friends. Asked classmates, none had it. Ok. Started to panic.

Then this morning, received this message from the tutor:

"Dear all,

I am severely disappointed with the class.

a. I found Ziyi's paper ON the pigeonhole cabinets. The person who left it there has been extremely irresponsible as it could have simply be blown away by strong wind."

Extremely pissed off. How not wonderful.

Promos-Don't know Sunday, September 27, 2009

Promos started yesterday with GP. Though it was disastrous, the comprehension especially, there isn't really anything I can do now.

Spent the night watching F1 from OCBC building, and just need to say that the sound of the car engines revving is, a symphony that can never go wrong. Your adrenaline level shoots up from the pure sound of that engine, and when you get to see an F1 car that close, you get a memorable experience like no other.

Good luck for you guys' promos; though i think they haven't started.

Into the darkness Friday, September 25, 2009

I turned back, looking at the obstacle strewn road which has been disintegrated by my odyssey up till now.

Looking forward, I see darkness. It seized me, slowly squeezing every drop of sanity that is left in this battered and war-stricken body.

I looked forward once more, unmoved.

I edged my stallion towards the darkness, hoping it shall not consume me as I had, of its cousins before it.

It's tomorrow. Friday, September 25, 2009

GP exam's tomorrow.

F1 qualifying is tomorrow.

T minus zero.

Student's Poem Wednesday, September 23, 2009

How can it be that we are to sit for an examination in which we received almost zero education in? How fair is it, to put us in a land of foreign content, sending us so far away?

Do you deserve the respect you wanted?

No, I don't think you do.

Blackholes and Revelations Tuesday, September 22, 2009

When one can't stand another, it is time to separate ourselves from those who are degrading to our lives in all aspects. As such, a skip is imminent.

A boy skips rope in school.

The rope goes north and he goes to fool.

The rope goes south and he goes to school.

Up his imagination goes; down reality drains.

Until he becomes a madman.

"I may never believe

These antique fables, nor these fairy toys.

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,

Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend

More than cool reason comprehends.

The lunatic, the lover and the poet

Are of imagination all compact:

One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,

That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,

Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:

The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;

As imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen"

Interesting Incident. Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Was on the bus, going home with classmates. The bus was a single-decker handicap equipped wheelchair accessible bus. If you have gotten on one before, you would know that the platform at the back is basically empty most of the time; no one wants to go up there and stand.

At one bus-stop, a particular man came on board. A few seconds upon the closing of the doors, he asked "Why you all don't want to move in?" I ignored him, thinking it wasn't directed at me. Then he repeated it again, and I looked at him, thinking he wanted my precious and undivided attention. I said nothing and moved back, allowing a space for him to move to the back as he wanted so. When he walked past me and my classmates, we could smell (literally) an air of smoke around him. Yes a smoker. No wonder the haze is back.

Then i told my classmates, I should have asked "Do you know you can't smoke on the bus?". And I was at the front of the bus, and he blamed me.

Wow.

My fault for not being able to rally the masses to move to the back of the bus. Bet he doesn't know the platform is dangerous. Emergency stop = Ticket to the hospital.

What the hell? Smoke already nothing else to do. What a fag.

Tick tock Monday, September 14, 2009

The pendulum is slowly oscillating.

It never gets caught by the traffic police.

Light has the fastest speed. Rubbish. Light 'stops' when we sleep. Time doesn't. It drains us until we are slowly wasted.

Yes, it's meant in a sarcastic way.

Econs lecture on Macroeconomics - policies to deal with economic growth. The lecturer was basically just a set of lecture notes with mouth and an annoying voice, with irregular injections of attempted (yet dry) humour. There was also the buzzing sound of a loose sound in jack, causing the speakers to produce a sound which is horrendous to the point of awaking the dead.

September holidays. Or not?

Correct if I'm wrong, but i seem to think that holidays aren't really holidays anymore; with respect to the amount of time we actually spend relaxing and having a good time. While now, we just spend all our time studying like dogs on a leash. And what's more, bring in a couple of E-learning and you will have a perfect blend of study freaks.

It's back again. Saturday, September 05, 2009

Teacher's day celebrations!

Had an epic drama club performance which just cracked everyone up. After which went back to CCHMS, disappointed to only have seen Mr Ahmad and Ms Gan, and also a slight glimpse of Mrs Pereira. Kinda sad that all the teachers left before we even came back ,especially veronica tan, but oh well.

Then, went back home for a bath before getting chased out of the house to meet at tampines MRT station to go for 4MD class gathering-cum- bbq. Which was quite fun actually, got to meet up with (almost) everyone, which always account for a relaxing state of mind since you know that you are not the one suffering alone in the world of JCs, and not to mentions PW. Ate a little bit; like a chicken wing which was extremely nice and a somewhat burnt hot dog lol. Had some red wine as well, and was apalled at how some people can get 'drunk' as they claimed themselves to be.

Gibberish i call, they are merely feeling the effects of light headiness and dizziness. Thus, they are merely exaggerating their own behaviour in order to make their presence more well known, which is long for AA, which is short for Attract Attention.

Pardon for the overly-analytical of people's behaviour.

Accomplishment, Draft 1 Friday, August 14, 2009

The feeling of accomplishment. Ahh. Wonderful.

Passed up our WR Draft 1 on Tuesday, Hard copy. Though there's seriously a lot of work to do, we managed to pump out 44 pages of cold, hard, material!

Contrast this with my sis' WR, which was around 57 pages.

And both mine and her WR included annexes.

Long way to go!

Movie day Monday, August 10, 2009

Watched Harry Potter just now;

Found it kinda conflicted; hard to understand for people who hadn't read the book. Giant loopholes in some areas and contextual errors. But, gotta admit that the atmosphere of the movie (not the cinema) wasn't bad at all. Some parts lost the 'link' which every story should have, particularly from one scene to another.

7/10.

Movies left to watch: UP, Public Enemies

One of the cameraman is racist - during the close up face-shot of the Indian commander (no offence here), it was first quite dark. Then, suddenly, as he was shouting the command, a light 'coincidentally' lighted up and made his face brighter and clearer.

Racial Harmony my ass.

Commenting on NDP, an auditory guide. Sunday, August 09, 2009

Listened to start of NDP, and they said, celebrate 44(?) years of independence. Now. The word independence stresses the idea of decolonisation. It creates a sense of nostalgia and probably reference back to the colonial-era. A hint of colonialist flashback? Possibly.

And i think i'm going to end here. Lol. And go off to watch for awhile before returning to my chair of thought.

Just trying haha. Saturday, August 08, 2009

I am ranked 2/11 in class, according to A level score of MYE results!

My dear, Wednesday, July 29, 2009

My Dear,

You lie there everyday, motionless,
Waiting for me, without complains.

I treat you badly;
I hit you whenever i pick you up,
Hitting all those dirty yellow things away.

No complains.

Sometimes i break your heart,
and that's when i change.


Racket racket, dearest racket.

Word Skimming Pt. II Sunday, July 12, 2009

Cont'd from yesterday: Cynical.

Fact: Everyone is cynical. From book 'Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behaviour" by Ori and Rom Brafman, everybody always considers losing something, = pessimistic view = cynical.

Change Log Sunday, July 12, 2009

Added item in wishlist.

Word Skimming Saturday, July 11, 2009

Word: Cynical

Definition (straight from http://www.dictionary.com):

1.	like or characteristic of a cynic; distrusting or disparaging the motives of others.

2.	showing contempt for accepted standards of honesty or morality by one's actions, esp. by actions that exploit the scruples of others.

3.	bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic.

4.	(initial capital letter) cynic (def. 5).

Fact: People who fail to grasp this concept fail to survive in the ever changing world. i.e. People who are too optimistic.

Fact: Cynical views give rise, (more than often) to changes within society.

Fact: Everyone is cynical one point or another in their life-time

Myth: Cynical views are bad for society

Fresh start? Tuesday, July 07, 2009

3 changes of teachers: Econs, Maths and GP results in a terrible start to term 3. Add to that an incredibly annoying bus trip home, and you get fatigued.

It wasn't until a damn fed up woman shouted at the two kids to shut up, who were amazingly and extraordinarily noisy (add to that their mother didn't care) which made everything ever so much better. How i wanted to thank that woman!

Moving on to the role of parenting and its efficiency in today's age of new parents (Not applicable to our parents)

Parenting efficiency only occurs when there is allocative and productive efficiency.

Productive efficiency occurs when there the children are controlled at the most energy saving method. This is almost always never achieved nowadays as parents simply do not care about their freak noisy children.

Allocative efficiency occurs only when the right amount of parents are provided for the right amount of kids. Assuming that there can only be two parents, any which exceed the given 2 results in inefficiency. However, there are certain cases in which this is feasible, and as such this theory may not apply to all parents with >2 kids, ceteris paribus.

__________________________________

The presence of externalities also gives rise to parenting failure. Externalities are praising/scolding inflicted by other people (other than the parents) on the children, for which no compensation is given.

Bonus! Thursday, July 02, 2009

Hoped the new colour is okay for the eyes. I find it pleasantly pleasing. :)

Took Lit exam this morning, with a compare and contrast between two poems and an essay on given text, Wuthering Heights. Wasn't very sure of the quality of the work, but was quite happy to be actually able to produce something when the skill was kinda rusty.

With the end of the exam marked the end of the MYE for us. That equates to friday off, plus normal long weekend and monday off in lieu of youth day. 4 Days added to freedom.

Current age taboo Wednesday, July 01, 2009

Sneeze now, and people stare at you, as if you're a freak show of sorts, or perhaps you're are some monster in disguise.

Sneeze now, and you will gain a circle of area approximately 10000pi cm^2 around you.

Sneeze now, and generous people might offer you a mask.

Sneeze now, and some hysteric and paranoid person might just pick up their phone and call 993, or give you money to see a doctor.

Just a harmless thought Wednesday, July 01, 2009

As of yesterday, (as it's today now), number of confirmed H1N1 cases had risen to 701, and out of those 281 have been treated and are well now.

Taking the bus to the mrt, which i admittedly hate so much, i stopped and ponder due to the over-common overcrowding that can be seen in buses throughout Singapore. No, it's not that the overcrowding is a pandemic by itself (though i would admit that it somewhat is,) i thought, "since the government so desperately wants to curb this virus in the 'mitigation stage', their main aim should be to minimise mass interaction." And, looking back into where i was standing, i felt that to be extraordinarily ironic, as the bus was FREAKING OVERCROWDED.

So much for their effort at contact tracing and what not.

100th post! Sunday, June 21, 2009

Lol. Stupid title, i know.

1 more week left to exams. How ready?

Swine flu cases up to 126, with suspected community transmissions. 3 cases in CCHMS, where they attended some form of assembly or mass gathering for a lesson or something.

Will the extra week come? Or will the big heads choose to take a big risk? H1N1 just isn't as deadly as SARS. Supposedly to be easily curable, how will events unfold over the course of the week?

Looming week ahead? Thursday, June 18, 2009

Following up to previous post, some doctors have suggested extending the june holidays by another week, prompting that schools are havens for the spread of disease, where children 'interact and socialise'.

This was around 1-2 days ago.

Just this afternoon, the school smsed us, "Do you have laptop/computer for e-learning at home? Reply Y for Yes and N for No," suggesting MOE has perhaps taken the piece of advice quite seriously. Good or bad news?

Short service announcement..? Wednesday, June 17, 2009

As of now, H1N1, otherwise known as the catchy swine flu has reached 66 cases in Singapore. Here's a little something to possibly help in this time lol.

Short Clip Monday, June 15, 2009

Wondered if any have seen this on TV before...

Heineken. Probably the best beer in the world. Not that i've drank it before though.

Speaking of the devil? Saturday, June 13, 2009

Just one or two posts before this i talked about chain mail and those msn crap. And guess what, a new one has appeared. Your friend will have his/her nick set as something like '(m) www.msnblock.net (m) and then he/she will send you an email titled something like 'check this out'.

Please don't open the email.

Interesting Picture Tuesday, June 09, 2009

I wondered what happened to the first edition.

Small warning, big notice. Monday, June 08, 2009

I recieved an email claiming that hotmail service will not be free in the future, unless you allegedly send the message to god knows how many more people. It had an article from... CNN? i guess, and it was 'written' by the chairs of msn.

Word of warning: E-mails that tell you to send to how many people or you die, or have bad luck e.t.c, are usually mail that contain a virus in them, which is why they want you to send it to more people. *Note the word 'usually'

So, what does this mean? It means possibly that your computer has kena virus, and you have just sent the same thing to your friends. But you might ask: i see no change in computer! Well, viruses and worms often take time to be 'activated' by the creator before they start to take effect, so as to prevent preventive measure on the cause (in this case the email) of the problem of spreading.

So, beware.

Also, with regards to messenger, whenever someone sends a link to you, be sure to ask if that the person who is sending you the link is truly and intentionally sending you the link, otherwise you will be caught with some stupid bug that prevents you from coming online, and you will irritate your contacts by constantly sending messages that make no sense.

RF - Returning Fine Sunday, June 07, 2009

Roger Federer has made history - first person to win all 4 grand slams (only 6 others have done so) and also winning 14 grand slam titles (Australian, French, Wimbledon, US), equaling Pete Sampras' record.

Well and thoroughly deserved.

GP exam!!! on 1st June Saturday, June 06, 2009

Yea, i know kinda lag, guess i was too caught up with TS3. So GP, we had some passage on whether 'money buys happiness'. The saddest thing of all is that we only had <15mins of break between paper 1 and 2, and we were in air-con hall which is damn cold. So, had to go toilet when paper 2 started. Then, cannot complete AQ, didn't write finsih OV :(

!? Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Ok, starting with a joke: how do your pronounce "!?"?

Soccer finals this Monday, VJ vs MJ. MJ lost 2-3 to VJ, though what matters most is that principal declared Thursday an off-day for us in lieu of the excellent sportsmanship that the soccer players displayed!

Way to go!

Highlight for answer to joke: !? is pronounced Factorial?

10nis Thursday, May 14, 2009

Okay, i know i said hiatus, but for those wanting an update, heres one: im in tennis school team like since last week, and had first training today. So basically its quite no kick (yet), running, stretching and stuffs. Yea. Also we had 'tryouts' of what the team usually does, what they call suicides, which is basically sprinting back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and... Well, you generally get the idea. We're also gonna start our 5KM run (yay.), which is approximately 12 and a half rounds around the track.

Apology Tuesday, May 12, 2009

Cast your gaze on the amazing wonders of the letter V!

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition." - V, V for Vendetta

Touching Hearts Thursday, April 16, 2009

Was on 21 home today, the wheelchair accessible one. A guy in a wheelchair, which i think has diabetes, due to like black spots on his leg and one which is amputated got on at same stop as me. Seeing how he's using an electronic wheelchair, seeing how he's hooked up to some liquid or something, seeing that he only has on one sandal really quite a heart breaker.
Of course, when boarding and alighting, i can see many staring at him, as though he's infectious, harmful to society.

It's times like these, rare occurrences that we don't see everyday that really let us cherish who we are, and how fortunate we are for being able to be who and what we are.

Coincidentally, i had conducted a lesson with the class on how to initiate CIP projects. So... Yea.

Good/Bad News?? Wednesday, April 15, 2009

PW tutor returned our PI Draft 1 and everyone had individual consultation, which was kinda nerve racking. I was third person, and she said my idea interesting :D  But keep saying i need to analysis, elaborate... haiz. I'm doing Conservation by the way, won't divulge my C1/C2 so...

Been kinda rushing work all week, slept early yet woke up tired... and the vicious cycle had repeated itself everyday since this Monday. Not a good start at all...

And i find our principal to be a... shall we say interesting person. For some reason, she keeps trying to instill pride in the students, saying this is the best, that is the best, its plausible, but just quite far fetched - stretching the truth in that sense.

Fury on ____ street Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Bad start....

History class got a rude awakening by the teacher... those never pass up H/W kena reprimanded, and also for postponing an essay test. Bad bad idea.

Good end...

Told my classmate that i hoped for a movie during double period GP... and predictions were spot on! Watched a documentary on Online activity amongst teens in the chilling air con, which was kinda like a resolution(?) for the bad start we had.

EZ- Link Thursday, April 09, 2009

Received new EZ-Link card today... and apparently, the government still lives in the year 1999 or still thinks im 7 years old. The picture happens to be my P1 photo. Amazing.

On a different note, MJC, or 'Maybe Just Can' has topped PW for year 2008 with 95% A's! Only 35 people got B... and that's very sad, to get a B when almost everyone else you see gets an A.

Time travel?!? Monday, March 30, 2009

The school's clocks when kinda bonkers today, and seriously distracted me from math tutorial. Our clock only has the minute and hour hand, but for quite a long time today, the minute hand became like a second hand. So it was around 12PM and the clock showed like 9PM.

Then came the joke of the day, or statement of the day:

Time is traveling at a rate of 1 minute/second.

But then we found out the clock was actually adjusting itself cause got some cock ups earlier. Yea. But anyway, it was still quite hilarious too. :)

A hint of Nostalgia... Wednesday, March 25, 2009

My mind Rewinds back to a symbolic item in a graphic novel... a perfume, 'Nostalgia' by Veidit.

Going back to CCHMS to collect O level cert,

Meeting up with teachers,

Feeling the atmosphere, the mood once more.

Brings back old memories; a hint of Nostalgia.

Seeing friends cherished so much once again,

Striking up conversations in vain(?).

Experiencing the changes and yet the familiarity of the place,

How can one not think back to the good old days? -



Carefree.



Happy. Safe.

Nostalgia. By Veidit.

FYI... Monday, March 23, 2009

Certs are ready for collection at CCHMS from this wednesday onwards. :)

Of course, included is the school magazine and photobook?

Paper Craft Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Never run away from things that never stops.

You will slow down. Time won't.

Holidays!!!!!...... Not. Saturday, March 14, 2009

Rename holidays to long self study period.

Barrages of e-learning.

Tons of assignments.

There's no justice in the world...

And there never was.'

Tyger Tyger! Tuesday, March 10, 2009

The Tyger  by William Blake

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Recent Addictions Friday, February 27, 2009

Recent addictions

No, im not talking about drugs or online games.

Recently got hooked onto forming paradoxes, or oxymoron, two words there contradict each other, like 'organised chaos', 'imperfect symmetry', 'deafening silence', 'exaggerating reserved', so on and so forth. Which is kinda cool in my opinion. :)

First Tennis Thursday, February 26, 2009

First tennis training!

Had first tennis training, and coincidentally my racket string broke after playing awhile. Had to switch to their lousy school racket. Made my finger so damn bloody pain now. Lousy grip.

Hit a couple of 'good' balls :D Sliced a little. Lobbed a little. Non-stop playing for 2 hours. Nothing beats that.

Road Race

Had something similar to CCHMS X-country this morning at pasir ris park. Basically its competition between houses, and people running, and at times walking the whole 4+KM, which seems very short to be 4KM.

And my house is champion of the event, lol. So more house points :D

Bought absolute watchmen at borders, had 25% discount + 10% discount for member, end up from 135 to 90. Lol so damn worth it. Impossible to find this price anywhere.

CCA Saturday, February 14, 2009

CCA...

So it was CCA day this wednesday, and went for tennis trials... and go photography booth look look. And that's all. I viewed 2 CCAs out of the few that day.

10PM. Saw missed call. Called back and some guy told me i pass tennis trials. :D Tell me to put first choice.

So basically just waiting next tuesday for CCA allocated to. My worst fear now is perhaps that their band will pull me in, which will seriously piss me off and i will probably just pon lol. No interest.

On a small sidetrack....

I want this!
