Damn, I initially blogged this entry inside my mobile phone, but it got lost while I tried to send it to my laptop via Bluetooth. Well, the first part, at least, got lost. So, yeah, no choice. :(
According to the time table, the first period is Physics. What was I doing... Next period was History... Oh yeah, I got it.
During morning assembly, Yoshida was reading the History textbook, lol. I was like, "What the heck? You're starting to prepare your History exam so freaking early already?" Turns out there was a History test today. Completely slipped my mind about it. X( But still, I can't do anything then. I left my History textbook back at class, haha.
While the National Anthem was played, Zheng Wei's phone suddenly rang, lol. Everyone around him was laughing out loud, due to the fact that he forgot to switch his phone to silent mode. After that, a teacher walked past, asking angrily, "What is so funny?" Man, Zheng Wei was damn lucky that we laugh so loud that it covered the phone's sound, lol, or it would get confiscated.
Turns out it is Joel, he got stuck in the toilet and could not get out due to lack of tissue paper. XD So Zheng Wei borrowed some tissue paper from Yoshida, but for some reason he seems reluctant to deliver it to Joel, so Kah Chin, being impatient, snatches the tissue paper out of Zheng Wei's hands and went off. Almost immediately after that, morning assembly ended, and the classes went off back to class, so Zheng Wei ends up having to carry three bags: His, Joel's, and Kah Chin's. XD However, his classmates all came and offered to help him to carry those bags and books, so Zheng Wei ends up only having to carry his own bag. XD What strong class spirit, lol. Wonder if our class can be like that or not...?
First period was Physics. The teacher was teaching about the half life of radioactive materials. Yeah, I remember the lesson, because it is almost the only Physics lesson this year that I can pay only half attention and still understand what the teacher is teaching fully. XD Oh well, half life seems just so easy, lol. And Vernon and I, trying to do some last-minute revision for our History tests, were reading our History textbooks during the lesson, lol. I realized that the drawers at the lab are useful for this type of purpose, lol. Put your textbooks inside the drawers and read from there. In this way, it would be difficult for the teachers to tell that you are actually reading something else. And if the teacher approaches, you slam the drawer close to hide the evidence. XD
Next was History. Did the test. Bah, not too bad.
Social Studies next. Can't remember anything. *whistles*
Recess. Can't remember anything about it too. *whistles*
Forgot about E. Maths and Chinese too, sigh. Lol...
English next. Teacher made up practice on the part of comprehension where they take words out of the passage and ask you to give words that can substitute for that word in the passage. I suck at that, lol. No, wait, I suck at English entirely, not just that part... XD
A. Maths. Zzzzzz... It was so boring Yoshida and I started making up Maths questions and giving them to each other and test if we can solve them or not... XD
Yeah, k, boring day. Let's hope tomorrow won't be as boring, or I'll really have to learn how to draw Zabimaru. XD

School and more school!
On my way to school, I went to the lift. To my surprise, the lift button was already pressed, and just when I approached the lift, it reaches my floor and the doors opened up. I looked around, and I can saw or found no one who could press the button. I didn't expect I would actually wave my hand in the air and say loudly, "Whoever pressed that, thanks." XD
And on the way to school, while walking, I saw my neighbour bringing his granddaughter to school using a bicycle, cycling past me. It reminds me of my grandfather bringing me to school using a bicycle like eight years ago, lol.
While walking to school, was listening to Thank You!!, the second ending of Bleach, when the bell of a bicycle rings. Instinctively, I got out of the way (well, I am a cyclist myself, and I just hate people in front of me who dilly-dallies to get out of the way when I ring my bell, or those who look back first before turning back, because the lag could cause me to reduce speed in trying to avoid crashing, or even worse, crashing. Thus, whenever I walk, and I hear the bicycle's bell ringing, my first reaction would to be get the hell outta the way. I know how annoying it is for them, why annoy them further?) and then, due to curiosity, turned my head back to see who it is. Don't particularly know him, but I can tell he's my schoolmate, as he's wearing the same school uniform as I. Worse, he's got his school tie on already! (We need to wear our ties on Monday) It's only 7:37am, school starts at 8:25am, going to school takes only 10 minutes with walking (I estimate 3 minutes for cycling), and he's already got his tie on! If I didn't have a watch, I'd thought that I am late!
Ephraim has a nice hairstyle. Looks as if he's got a flower blooming out of his head. I laughed out loud when I saw him for the first time today.
Faizal has got a nice hairstyle too. I almost could not recognize him. XD His hair used to be a clump, messy and looked as if it was compressed by an iron. Now he combs his hair with too much gel, so his hair looks extremely waxy, added with a curving at the end. Wow. O_O
First period was English. Teacher went through a comprehension passage.
After English but before VL, I went outside the classroom. Man, the empty area outside the classroom block is changing so fast, lol. Grass seems to grow out overnight, yet the grass looks as if they got plucked out from some field off in the distant and then thrown carelessly back onto the soil, lol. Here's a photo I took.
Second period was VL. Teacher taught about jobs. Zzz...
Went to library during recess. Was taking photos of Ephraim and his funny hairstyle *turns around to look at Ephraim and his hairstyle, and laughs out loud. I'm blogging during Chemistry now by the way*. He kept trying to hide it, lol. I post some pictures I took. :P
The list on the whiteboard of students having to go for Maths remedial is still there. Everytime Yoshida walks past it, he'd tap Vernon's name, mocking the fact that Vernon failed his test and had to go for remedial. And every time he does that, I'd tap Vernon's name too after Yoshida for fun, laughing at Vernon's irritated response and reaction. He did it again after recess when we were back in the class, but I don't see the point in it, since Vernon was in the toilet and thus not present. So I decided, if you are going to do something, you do it to the best you can. Thus, I decided to highlight his name by circling it, and unable to find a marker, drew the circle with his very highlighter, to rub it in. XD
We laughed out loud after we see his reaction when he came back and saw it, lol, but I decided to push the blame to Ephraim. Man, shorty makes a good scapegoat... XD So Vernon, in revenge, pushed Ephraim, while he was sitting down on his chair, and cause him to topple and hurt his leg. Nice, Vernon, a strong and powerful attack. Depart the skill to me, I'll be your disciple...! XD
Chinese after that. Finished both E. Maths and A. Maths preliminary papers. Thus, I now have nothing to do for Chemistry... Yoshida is currently dismantling the Bunsen burner now due to boredom by the way... Zzz... Lol, he filled the barrel of the Bunsen burner with water and tried to put it back, but the water overflowed. I called him a freaking idiot, and told him that he should just fill the Bunsen burner with water. Then I wanted to borrow his timetable to check what periods we had just now (for blogging purposes), but he did not want to lend it to me because I called him a freaking idiot. So I called Ephraim a shorty. And he lends it to me. XD
Ah, Cheng Liang went to crawl back to the back to take comfortable chairs and sit on them. The teacher saw him. XD
Back on-topic, next period was E. Maths. Went through E. Maths prelim papers. Zzz. Ah, Yoshida went to sleep!
Assembly next and we got taken to AV room. There, we listen to principal talk cock. Zzz... I can't tell what is the purpose or main point of the speech... Near the end, we got so bored that we started chatting about the Deathly Hallows. In the story as told in Harry Potter, it is Death who gives the three brothers the three Deathly Hallows. As we remembered that, we laughed at Yoshida, as he calls himself the Death God (or simply Death, they roughly mean the same old thing anyway), and we demanded that Yoshida give us the three Deathly Hallows. XD We then discussed about who would take what Deathly Hallows. I decided to take the wand (reasons are simple. The stone is out, I don't want to be driven mad by looking at images of the dead, like the second brother did. Vernon agreed with me on this one. Secondly, my nature is combative, so it wouldn't like me to run away from a fight when I can, well, fight, can I?). Vernon took the cloak, and Ephraim is left with the stone. Vernon thinks that Particle E doesn't need the cloak, he's so short he hides himself. XD
Principal talked for 40 minutes, so we get 20 minutes free until Chemistry. Yoshida found some thread, so he hangs his Death God rug. I'll attach pictures.
See anything?
Zooming in... Still can't see anything?
Zooming in further... If you still can't see, please seek an optometrist.
This is what it seems like from the second floor. The rug keeps spinning due to wind, so I took a video and screenshot an image out of the video. This explains its low quality and small size (as in dimensions of the image). I'd like to see you try and take a still image of it at the front, rofl.
On the way to Chemistry, Yoshida and I (Vernon and Gamma Ray went ahead first. Who knows they would be so eager to learn Chemistry?) saw two girls freaked out because of the presence of the Death God... XD
Chemistry. Zzz... I'm blogging, Yoshida is drawing on the table, Cheng Kang is singing, Luke is reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Xiang Bin is sleeping, Wei Sheng is doing D&T, Cheng Liang is staring into space, oops, he just went to sleep. Around me, only Larry, Ephraim, Vernon are studying Chemistry. Eh... According to Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon started talking about horny stuff... o.O
Had to do an English assignment with Hiok Joo, Angeline and Yoshida after school, but Yoshida had to go for Japanese lesson. Luckily Vernon had nothing to do, so he decided to come and help out and take Yoshida's place instead, lol. We went back to the class and started doing it, but the guys in our class also stayed back and were creating a lot of noise, so that I found that I were unable to concentrate. In addition, it was 3pm then, and we were all hungry (can you believe that Vernon in particular had last eaten 20 hours ago, on 7pm the previous day!? Rofl, he can't find bread in the morning, but damn, doesn't he get hungry?), so I suggest we go to a fast food restaurant and do the English while eating lunch.
So we went to Tampines Mart, braving harsh and violent storms... Ok, I was exaggerating, but yeah, it was raining. We went to McDonald's for lunch.
So yeah, for the English assignment, we were given information about two students and a list of their achievements, and we have to choose which one to get some "Outstanding Student Award", and write a proposal to the Principal recommending our choice and give reasons why. Zzz, the exact thing that can make one fall asleep with ease. I hope I don't get such a question for 'O' level. -_-
Among the two of them, the guy got 7 Distinctions and 1... what's that word..,? merit? ...and a "B" in Project Work, while the girl's got 5 Distinctions and 3 Merits. So how does the guy, who is obviously cleverer, lose to the girl in PW? Vernon thinks that it is because the girl slacked while her three teammates do all her work for her, so she got an A, while all three of the guy's teammates slacked, so the guy had to do the work all alone, one person doing four people's work, so obviously he screwed up and did a bad job and got only B. XD
I ran out of coca-cola halfway, so Vernon bought a cup for me. Thanks, Vernon! :D
We left about an hour later.
And on the way to school, while walking, I saw my neighbour bringing his granddaughter to school using a bicycle, cycling past me. It reminds me of my grandfather bringing me to school using a bicycle like eight years ago, lol.

Sigh, computer problems again
Sigh, computer encountered problems again yesterday. Was enjoying playing it without problems when out of a sudden, the monitor doesn't receive any signal. We called the computer repairman to come again, and after inspection, big problem. The motherboard is unstable, and so is the power supply. Due to the old processor that the computer is using, the repairman did not think that simply replacing those two hardware would be wise, and that buying another new one would be cleverer.
In other words, my computer has reached the end of its life, sigh... First, a moment of silence for it.
......
And now, a tribute. Farewell, my computer. Thank you, and goodbye. May you rest in peace.
Well, I have no idea when I would get to buy a new computer. My family isn't doing very good financially at the moment, so I wouldn't be a mother fucker and pester the adults for it. So I'm just gonna cross my arms and hope they buy one soon, while if they choose not to, then I have no choice but to sigh and dream of what life is like with a computer... XD
So what have I been doing to while time away? I've been playing Final Fantasy XII on the PlayStation 2 lol. Bought it for months now, but I've only started playing seriously now. Hope I can clear the game without much difficulty... XD
My father surprised me by buying McDonald's for breakfast lol. Three hotcakes, a piece of hash brown and an apple pie. The hotcakes taste great, especially with honey and butter lol, though admittedly, this isn't saying much, since the last time I ate hotcakes was a long time ago indeed, cooked by my mother, and let's just say that her hotcakes-cooking skills aren't really the best... ^_^" The hash brown was great too, but admittedly as well, this isn't saying much either, as hash browns has been my favorite part of breakfast at McDonald's from as long as I can remember... XD It's the first time I'm eating apple pies if I can remember correctly, I don't order them myself, lol. Somehow I thought that pies are supposed to be circular (pi, 3.142, circle, get it?), but instead this one has a rectangular shape, lol. Of course, eating it makes me think of a number that goes 3.1415926535...... XD
By the way, computer's down, so I'm typing this on the handphone. Damn, it's hard to type, the keyboard is so small, and my hands are starting to sore!!! If only you can connect the handphone to a computer keyboard and type there, haha.
And oh yeah... How the fuck am I to get my files and documents over to the new computer after I bought one? Shit...
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I found a hidden stash of cans of coca-cola a few days ago, and after only drinking two cans, I went back, and fuck! It's no longer there! My mother must have hid it elsewhere! Nooooooooooooooo!!!
Lol, I was playing Final Fantasy XII just now, and I was on the airship Leviathan, aiming to rescue Princess Ashe (lol, the "Princess saving"-type of RPGs never get old) and then get the hell out. During the escape, some Judge (insert definition of Judge as in FFXII) named Ghis tried to stop the characters from escaping, engaging them in a fight with three Imperial Soldiers. Since the Libra ability given by the accessory Bangle (which gives the player knowledge of enemies' levels and HPs) doesn't work on bosses, I have no idea how exactly strong the Judge was and thus could not be foolish enough to attempt to underestimate it. First commands I give to my characters were to use their Quickenings (which is a very powerful attack which requires the user to have full MP and uses up the entire pool of MP). Vaan uses Red Spiral, Basch uses Fulminating Darkness, bam, KO. Shortest boss battle I've ever fought. Owned. XD
My father was driving just now on the way to a coffee shop for dinner, when he decided to turn off the aircon and instead open the car windows, because of use strong durian smell in the car (we bought durians yesterday night, and to tell the truth, it sucks. Yellowish-white flesh, hard as a rock, total suxxor. I never imagined durians could taste so bad, and yet somehow, my parents think they taste great...). I told him that he must be the only freaking person in Singapore to drive without the aircon on and with the windows open. He replied that he must not be the only one, and he can find another car with windows open. So after three minutes, he found not one, but two of them...! Two! Two!! What the fuck? Since when are Singaporeans so poor?!
Reached the coffee shop and parked at the carpark. The car beside ours was a racing car, and it sure did not try to hide that fact. The entire car is painted with text like "racing car" and "speed". Wow, show off, lol. There was a stamp on the window screen I find interesting and funny.
Lol, joke or no joke? I can't tell. XD But yeah, I gotta admit, the first person I think of after reading that is a fat guy in my class named Alvin... XD

Chapteh! And rain...
It's been raining both yersterday and today when school is over, so I had to walk out in the rain back home without an umbrella. Sigh, it just reminds me of Zangetsu's hatred for rain, lol.
"Ichigo... I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, this sky become clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easy. Can you understand... the horror of being pelted by rain in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I will let no rain fall in this world. Ichigo, trust me. You are not fighting alone."
When I got back home, I already found two newly bought long telephone lines on my computer table, lol. My father sure did things quick, eh? And there I was, wanting to buy the line later. Although one is enough currently, so the other one is right in front of me as I type this, unopened, lol. Why currently? Because I lazily just put the line on the floor. I have to hook it up on the wall sooner or later. Not only does it look ugly on the floor, someone might trip and fall too. I bet hanging it along the wall will require it to be longer.
But yeah, even with the new telephone line, Internet is still as freaking slow like hell. Tolerated six hours of being unable to do any shit, then my father suggested using the old Ethernet modem. Genius, the speed went to 75kb/s. After enduring speeds of 200b/s, I was so delighted that I went over the moon, haha. Okay, so I bought the new modem for nothing... -.-
I forgot how many times I asked a certain question while watching Bleach episode 133. "Am I still watching Bleach?" Freaking hell, this episode seems so much like an episode from an entirely different anime... It just doesn't look like Bleach. X(
Today is an unexpectedly fun day at school, lol. :)
During morning assembly, prizes were given out to classes which has the most number of students wearing ethnic costume during Racial Harmony Day. As Hui Ling, our class chairman goes up to recieve the prize, I told next-class Zheng Wei, "Which we (referring to Yoshida, who is in front of me at that moment, and I) did not contribute any shit." XD
Back to class, they opened the prize and see what is inside. Snacks, chaptehs, inflatable balls and I don't know what's it called, but it's some sticky material inside a tube, and in which you can blow it into a balloon... o.O
First period was Chinese. Cheng Liang and Alvin were blowing those balloons, lol, while almost the rest of the class were playing with the balls, blowing them with air and then smacking them to each other as if playing volleyball, lol. Alvin and Cheng Liang managed to blow two huge balloons, but Alvin went and take Cheng Liang's balloon, whack it around, and bam, it get caught onto the blades of the ceiling fan and whoosh! Nice effect! The rubbery substance of the balloon got attached to the blade, and spun around and around beautifully, creating noise as it swooshes in the air, lol. Alvin hurriedly turned off the fan and waited for something to clear it first before turning it back on. Cheng Liang didn't look too happy, lol.
Next period was Chemistry. It turned out to be one of my favorite Chemistry lessons, lol. Almost all of the guys are defying the teacher, playing with the balloons under the teacher's nose and not giving a damn about the lesson. XD Yoshida blew a balloon too for fun, but his was so small, lol. He then explained that he only used a bit of the sticky substance, while Alvin (during Chinese) used one whole tube of it, lol. He even wanted to heat (or as I mistakenly call it, "burn" XD) the balloon using the Bunsen burner. He even took the lighter (I didn't realize that he even took the lighter, lol. I asked if he is a pickpocket during his past life, he told me it's all about "stealth" XD), but he got cold feet and backed out, lol. Then, with nothing to do, I took Yoshida's balloon and connected it to the barrel of the Bunsen burner. XD I turned on the gas tap, thinking that the gas would expand the balloon. XD But nothing happened, lol, and Cheng Liang, who is sitting in front of me, saw what we were doing and cleverly deduced that the gas supply must has been turned off. And to think I was so freaking puzzled over why no gas is coming out. XD
Then I got a better idea. Connect the balloon to the tap and then turn it on. XD I didn't really connect it well though, so the water was seeping away, but some did make it inside the balloon. Only a little pool of water though, haha. I was thinking of filling it up with water entirely. :P I took the balloon and touched the bottom surface, where there is water on the other side. It feels wet, yet my hands are still try, and no water leaked out, lol. Strange feeling that was. Of course, the people in front are playing with the balloons too. I think Samuel filled a balloon with water. XD The balloons tend to shrink and harden into a small yet hard substance when the air leaks. Yoshida takes those and chuck them at Ephraim. XD Cheng Liang was playing with the balloon too (how so, I forgot), but he attracted a lot of attention, even the teacher could not continue closing one blind eye, so she shouted, "The guys at that corner!" (referring to Cheng Liang, who is seeing at the most right horizontally, and center vertically, and those around him) I looked at Ephraim's corner instead XD (Ephraim is sitting at the most left along the right column of benches and at the most behind).
By the way, I was doing Maths during Chemistry, as usual, lol. The last question for the E. Maths paper (which I did not do. That particular question requires a graph paper, and I don't have one at that moment) was about kinematics. A particle got thrown off the cliff into the sea. I told Yoshida that and both of us laughed out loud. Throwing particles *cough* Particle E *coughcough* Ephraim *coughcough* *cough* off cliffs into the sea sounds so fun. XD
It was English next. The teacher spent one hour going through with us five letter-writing questions, at the end of which we had to do one of those five questions together in our English groups of four. A group of girls, including Fym, Sze Ling, Yingjie, Serene, Cynthia, stayed back in the Chemistry lab (don't ask me why, I'm always the first freaking out of there XD), I think to ask questions (again, don't ask me why. Asking our Chemistry teacher a question = Getting more confused about the topic of that question you are inquiring), so they were late for English for twenty-five minutes. The teacher was angry, telling them to stay outside the class and study Chemistry instead, and that they can only come back in when they tell her a reason why they should stop studying Chemistry and study English. Poor thing. :( Yoshida suggested, "I got bored of Chemistry, so I came for English." XD The teacher let them back in quite a while later, but still, poor thing lah. :( At the end of that hour, we chose which questions we wanted to do. Hiok Joo suggests doing it next Monday after Chemistry (last period on Monday). I told her, "Let's do it during Chemistry instead." XD Perfect plan, great utilization of time. ;)
It was recess after that. Particle E disappeared (I swear I didn't throw him off the cliff into the sea!!
), so it's only Vernon, Yoshida and me. The three of us went to the library, while Vernon chose to first go visit the toilet beside the library. Yoshida was walking around the library for some stupid reason, refusing to just find a place and sit down, and I was following him, wondering where the fuck is he going, lol. Vernon came in then, and Yoshida left the library, and I decided to follow Vernon instead, walking past all of the computers playing DotA and missing being able to play Warcraft III at home, we went to our usual place and sat there. I found a Chinese edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so I took it and examined the cover. Harry looks nerdy, rofl, though Fleur looks kinda cute. XD Didn't know Krum has hair, lol, I thought he's bald. Anyway, I got bored of it and tossed it aside. Both of us then started listening to music, lol. Don't know about him, but I was listening to Thank You!!, the second ending of Bleach (well, for some weird reason I find myself humming that tune during English just now, so might as well listen to it then).
Suddenly, a loud voice breaks the peace. Apparently, the school's IT guy (don't know his name or role, and I always see him at the computer labs, so I sort of start to believe that he fixes spoiled computers or something XD) saw everyone playing DotA on the computers in the library and got freaking angry. He's shouting and shouting, and I told Vernon that we better leave, in case we became 池鱼之殃 (suffer a disaster due to implications, or something like that).
Yoshida came while we were almost going to leave, and thus the three of us left together. I was wondering why is he so angry. Vernon explains that by right, students aren't supposed to be playing games on the school's computers before school ends. Lol... There was some kind of band performing at the piano, and the three of us were loitering around the area at the second floor above the piano, listening to the band. Larry is there lol, at the first floor. We called him, but appears he didn't hear us. We then went to loiter at the corridor to the hall. From one side we see the girls of 4R1, and the other side we see the guys of 4R1. It's obvious which side we were at. XD
Recess ends, we went back to class. There were only the three of us back at class, so we went and took a chapteh and play it. Vernon couldn't really kick it well, lol, so it was only Yoshida and me. Afterwards, Wei Sheng came, and the three of us played with each other. Wei Sheng is a good kicker, lol, he even knows how to handle the chapteh with his head and chest (neither Yoshida and I have the ability to do so XD), though he lacks strength in his kicks, so the chapteh don't reach a good height. Yoshida is not bad too, but he tends to miss the chapteh most of the time. As for me, I couldn't restrict my strength and thus would always kick it too hard and overshot. ^_^" But hey, I just realized I can kick it even if it is at a high height off the ground! :D I can kick high with my legs, lol. Bet you can't, Gamma Ray. :P
The teacher came, and the snacks were given out, lol. Then, our timetables of our preliminaries were given out too. Meh, I aren't too worried of preliminaries. :P The teacher then started the CME lesson. Teaching us about elections and politicians, blah blah. Yoshida and I were both eating the snacks while the teacher is giving us a lecture on it, lol. I shared a dirty joke with Yoshida.
Q: In a democratic society, how important are elections?
A: Very important. Sex can only happen when a male gets an erection.
XD
Next, we had to split ourselves into groups of four and answer some questions regarding the school's effort to make us appreciate art. They want our opinions on it, something like that. Ephraim and Vernon are already in Larry and Afiqah's team, so I went and get Wei Sheng and Yuhaimi in my team, together with Yoshida, lol. To be honest, I were intending to have the four of us play chapteh without doing the assignment given to us. XD I gave Wei Sheng my exercise book, took another for myself, and played "table tennis" using the chapteh, lol. Then I tried using my exercise book to keep whacking the chapteh upwards, and see how long I can keep at it without the chapteh dropping to the floor. XD Then no choice, went to do that shit first. We rushed through it, then -
ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
The four of us started playing chapteh at the back, rofl. Yuhaimi's quite a good kicker as well, but his reflexes aren't really fast, lol. Damn, never knew playing chapteh could be so fun. XD Ephraim came and joined in for a while, though he rather play alone than together with us. He tried back-kicking a few times ending in failure, rofl. Both Yoshida and I think Gamma Ray cannot kick the chapteh high. XD Vernon also joined in as well, but he found himself unable to kick the chapteh, so instead, I took Faizal's E. Maths Ten-Years-Series (don't tell him) and gave it to Vernon, who started using it as a racket and the chapteh as a shuttlecock. XD Once, Yoshida kicked the chapteh at him, and Vernon whacked it with bare hands. Ouch. X( Once, I went away for some reason, and when I came back, Ephraim accidentally kicked the chapteh at me, and instinctively, without thinking, I bent backwards to dodge it. I did the Matrix dodge without realizing! XD
Our A. Maths Integration and Kinematics test papers were given back. I scored 30 out of 38. I remembered I was dancing in joy, cheering, "Yay! I don't have to attend Maths clinic!" XD (failures have to attend Maths clinic, a nice name given by the teachers when it actually means lame old maths remedial) Vernon, Wei Sheng and Yuhaimi failed though, so they were three out of eleven who had to attend Maths clinic. Poor thing. :( While doing that test, the teacher told us only to do questions one to five (there were six questions on the test paper), believing that we would not have enough time to do the last question. I went ahead and did that question, lol, because I had time left for the test, I was bored, and I didn't feel like checking my answers for the first five questions. XD So Ephraim and Yoshida went to the teacher, Ephraim not understanding how to do one of the questions. I went there for fun, and then, for fun as well, told the teacher, "'cher, I do question six you never mark." So she asked me to give her my paper for her to mark question six. XD Rofl, I got full marks for the last question. That's unofficially 37 out of 45. :P
The zip of my pencil box was spoiled. T_T I probably have to go and find a replacement pencil box, lol. Zzz... Vernon was so bored he found a marble, took his pen and used it to practice billiard. XD Yoshida and Yuhaimi once went to hiding halfway while playing chapteh, lol. They, as part of the Green Movement Committee, had something to do, but of course, they didn't want to do that shit, and thus went to hide (behind the back door of the classroom). XD
Yay, Geography was canceled! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
We left school as soon as the bell rang, rofl.
"Ichigo... I hate the rain. Rain falls in this world, too. When your heart is in chaos, this sky become clouded. When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easy. Can you understand... the horror of being pelted by rain in this solitary world? If only to stop that rain, I shall lend you any strength. If you trust in me, I will let no rain fall in this world. Ichigo, trust me. You are not fighting alone."
- Zangetsu
When I got back home, I already found two newly bought long telephone lines on my computer table, lol. My father sure did things quick, eh? And there I was, wanting to buy the line later. Although one is enough currently, so the other one is right in front of me as I type this, unopened, lol. Why currently? Because I lazily just put the line on the floor. I have to hook it up on the wall sooner or later. Not only does it look ugly on the floor, someone might trip and fall too. I bet hanging it along the wall will require it to be longer.
But yeah, even with the new telephone line, Internet is still as freaking slow like hell. Tolerated six hours of being unable to do any shit, then my father suggested using the old Ethernet modem. Genius, the speed went to 75kb/s. After enduring speeds of 200b/s, I was so delighted that I went over the moon, haha. Okay, so I bought the new modem for nothing... -.-
I forgot how many times I asked a certain question while watching Bleach episode 133. "Am I still watching Bleach?" Freaking hell, this episode seems so much like an episode from an entirely different anime... It just doesn't look like Bleach. X(
Today is an unexpectedly fun day at school, lol. :)
During morning assembly, prizes were given out to classes which has the most number of students wearing ethnic costume during Racial Harmony Day. As Hui Ling, our class chairman goes up to recieve the prize, I told next-class Zheng Wei, "Which we (referring to Yoshida, who is in front of me at that moment, and I) did not contribute any shit."

My Computer is Back! :D
My computer is back, yay. The computer repairman arrived at 8pm, much later than I was expecting, so I thought maybe he wasn't able to make it. XD Looks like the problem is a complicated one. The problem seems to be with the network card, so he got a new one in. Then somehow the computer wasn't able to transmit information to the monitor, so he changed the power adapter of the CPU as well. Then it seems as if the modem could not reach the telephone lines, so we took my old Ethernet modem and found the same problem. So we suspect that it is the phone line, and so we took the modem, the telephone line and the modem's power adapter to the wall socket for the telephone line (I'm using a loooooooooooong telephone line to hook my modem in my room up with the nearest wall socket, in the master bedroom like eight metres away XD), and found out, after a long time, that nothing is wrong at close range. So we conclude that it is the loooooooooong telephone line that has the problem, so yeah, I'll be going out to buy another loooooooong telephone line tomorrow and connect it up, hoping it would solve the problem. If it doesn't, I'll have to call the computer repairman then, lol.
And yeah, my computer got formatted. Before the formatting, the only hard disk in my CPU, the C: drive (which has about 75GB in space), got split up into a C: drive and a D: drive somehow, lol, each with about 35GB in space. [How did he split the drive up into two anyway, lol? Reminds me of the Zanpakutou (Soul Slayer, the preferred weapons of Death Gods in Bleach) I made up for myself, lol...) My documents, files and pictures were stored in D: drive and it is C: that got format.
So now, I can't watch my animes due to lack of codecs in Windows Media Player [I'm freaking downloading VLC Media Player immediately after I get secured Internet access (I have Internet access now, but it tends to break after about five minutes and would only reconnect again when the moon is blue), Windows Media Player just does not go together with watching anime], and I can't play Warcraft III. Speaking of that... GOD DAMN IT, YOU NEED THE REIGN OF CHAOS DISC TO INSTALL WARCRAFT III! Yeah, I'm sort of angry over that. My Reign of Chaos disc, sigh, got thrown away by my mother together with all of the discs in my "inventory". My Frozen Throne avoided that by hiding in my DVD-drive, rofl, but still, what's the point of it now that the game isn't installed in my computer? 1. I need to install Reign of Chaos before I can install Frozen Throne, and to do that I need the Reign of Chaos disc. 2. Even if I can somehow get a Reign of Chaos disc (presumably by borrowing it from someone, if I can ever find one? o.O), I can't install Frozen Throne anyway because the CD-key was thrown out together with my whole inventory of discs... Yeah, I'm actually crying now (not literally of course), rofl. I spent fifty dollars on Warcraft, let it be one of my favorite games, and then got dealt such a harsh fate of being unable to play it even with the CD. If that bitch wasn't my mother, I would have already sent her to a hospital...
Haha, no choice, I'll get used to it... somehow. I got sort of bored with the campaigns anyway, and if I want to play a game of custom game or two, I'd just pop in at any LAN shop. It's much cheaper than buying the entire set again (I think I need to re-buy Frozen Throne as well. Lost CD-key, remember?). Sigh...
On another subject, I think I'm not getting enough sleep nowadays... I felt so sleepy in the afternoon, lol, so I went to take a nap, but damn, my parents had such a loud chat with my neighbour, so not only can I not fall asleep, I end up with a bad headache too... Sigh... X(
Right, on to school life.
First period was Geography. Zzz... The teacher wants us to do some stupid questions on mapwork. Zzz... Of course, I wasn't too delighted at the thought of that (come on, mapwork is just too stupid, too boring and too impractical. Tell me why a normal person needs to know the gradient of a mountain or the distance or a river -.-) so I thought I'd go ahead and be defiant (hey, it's my dream since childhood to be a defiant man who does whatever delights him) and do A. Maths preliminary paper... XD After ten minutes, the teacher got bored of just sitting down at the teacher's table like a good girl and instead comes walking around. Zzz... She made quite a big fuss when she saw me doing maths, rofl. I still remember shouting, "Busted!" then. XD Ah well. And the teacher still had to go ahead and give me some crap... What "What's the point of getting distinction for maths if you don't do well for geography...?" Lol, zzz. It sounds so freaking stupid if you ask me. Oh well, whatever.
More Sourced-Based Questions for us to do during Social Studies next lesson. Four of those questions to be exact, and one hour to finish them. Man, our Social Studies teacher is making me think that it is extremely easy to be a Humanities teacher. Just walk into the class, give out SBQs, sit down at the teacher's table for one hour, daydream, build sandcastles (I'm naming the first one I built Camelot XD) up in the air, collect the papers after that one hour, and leave. XD Oh well. I finished those four questions in forty minutes and spent the rest of the twenty minutes during maths, as usual. XD
It was E. Maths next. She gave us some supposed test. It was easy like shit. Well, we aren't supposed to be using calculators, but I decided to use one and check my answer after I'm done with my paper, so I was punching numbers into my calculator, and then Yoshida signaled to me that the teacher has seen me and is coming (not like I care, lol, I don't consider this "cheating" XD). Yeah, I didn't make any changes after I started checking my answer with the calculator, so I'll give you a punch if you say I'm cheating. :P I got 15 out of 15, lol, with ease. :P Yoshida only got 13 out of 15, lol, careless mistake, he messed up with the number of zeros in one question.
The maths teacher's insane, lol. I'm not even done with the A. Maths preliminary paper she gave few days ago (hey, I put a lot of effort into doing that paper! That effort was so intensively great it made the Geography teacher angry just two hours ago! XD), and she gives us the E. Maths one. XD How are we supposed to cope with the papers that's coming down upon us like waves? XD Another wave comes and start before even one wave ends! :O Ah well. I somehow felt insecure doing the E. Maths paper without the answer sheet, lol. It's like, I don't know whether my answer to part (a) is correct or not, and if it is wrong, then I will definitely get parts (b), (c) and (d) wrong, so I'm afraid to continuing, since I would ultimately be wasting my freaking time if I get part (a) wrong. I don't know how this develops in me, lol, but my reliance in the answer sheet is a pain in the ass to me. I can't be feeling this shit too when I take my Maths exams! I mustn't! Damn, I must try and shake off this reliance, lol.
Went to the library during recess as usual, three of us with our Chemistry SPA files to revise for the coming Chemistry SPA exam later [only Vernon didn't bring his, and well, he's pro (I am praying that Vernon does not read this, and if he does, then Vernon, please do not let this inflate your ego or whatever they call it :P) enough in Chemistry without needing to revise XD]. Went to the section of the library we always go to when we are there (which is at the end, the furthest away from the entrance, lol), but the two tables were joined into one, all of the chairs (about twelve or thirteen) gathered around the two tables and not a single chair was unoccupied. Yeah, so there were no place left for us to sit at that section, lol. Yoshida's first reaction, humorously, when he saw that scene was, "Wah! Knights of the Round Table!" XD I corrected him though, those two tables together don't form a circle, it forms a square! They should be the Knights of the Square Table! XD
Chinese was next. The teacher, for some weird reason, is using a scissors to try and keep us from making too much noise. Yeah, she's just cutting air with the scissors, and threatening to cut our mouths if we talk. o.O I don't know, but is the teacher under the illusion of teaching three-year-old kids? Um, hello, reality check here, the students that she is teaching have ages of fifteen and sixteen? o.O I don't know, but while that tactic would simply and easily shut up some three-year-old kid, it wouldn't be fucking working against us. XD I even took out my scissors when the teacher has her back to us and cut air behind her, saying softly so that only my friends can hear, "Think you the only one who can cut air with scissors?" XD
Nothing to do during Chinese, lol. Wanted to do those maths prelims papers, but I thought the coming Chemistry SPA exam would be more important. The teacher said something about reading on the chapter "Speed of Reaction" in our textbook, but the problem is that I haven't been bringing my Chemistry textbook to school since three months ago, rofl (I don't need it during Chemistry lesson, remember? XD), so I need to get one. Went looking around for a Chemistry textbook to borrow before the lesson, and I went to Yoshida, who is sitting at Ephraim's place then. I decided to ask him, and he took Ephraim's Chemistry textbook from under his table and gave it to me, not bothering to inform Ephraim. Nice, I didn't have any complains. XD
Yeah, so I was reading it, and then Ephraim was like, "Where did my textbook go?" XD So yeah, he looked around, saw me reading one, and took it, checking whose textbook it is. Busted. :P But yeah, I continued reading his textbook [thankfully Yoshida came up with something to say to "convince (more like threaten though :P) him, although what he said, I forgot... X(], so he ended up needing a textbook to read in revision for the exam. :P He found one under Sze Ling's table, lol, and went to take it without permission. After reading it, he even went to take her Chemistry SPA file to read. Sigh... Such rude invasion of privacy. And after he's done, he went to read Angeline's. Sigh... Is it really okay to invade the privacy of ladies?
I got bored of reading Chemistry after forty minutes, and instead went to do E. Maths. :P Vernon was begging Yoshida for a website in which he can download animes from a server, lol (he's complaining that downloading using peer-to-peer methods, specifically uTorrent, was too slow because lack of seeds). Man, that kind of website must be extremely difficult to find. If it is easy to find, those fucked-up anime licenses holders would go haywire and send a lawyer's letter to the website administrators regarding copyright crap and shit, and the website gets taken down and goes boom. If the website is difficult to find, well, Vernon would be begging to get it from Yoshida. XD Yoshida, though, for some weird reason, refuses to tell Vernon, heh. I still prefer downloading anime using uTorrent, lol. Best quality around, decent speed (as long as you don't watch anime that only you and some other freaking nerd in some freaking place on earth watch it), yeah.
Man, I just realize how great it is to sit at the most left and most back of the classroom, in which there is a cupboard of stuff my classmates throw there behind me. Two dictionaries there help me while doing my English Reading Log (I still find its new name, Imprints, weird, lol), and just after E. Maths, I needed a graph paper to do the Transformation worksheet. Went around the class, no one has any graph paper. So, with nothing to do, I searched the cupboard, and oh my god, someone left graph paper there! Bless him, thank his father, I just hope he or she don't mind me taking one. :P
The English teacher was late for twenty minutes, lol. When she finally came, the rest of the class (which didn't do so last time) had to present their speeches, lol. Dao Hsen's making a speech as the Ministry of Manpower, rofl, and his speech is regarding the fact that many Singaporeans are unemployed due to the fact that many foreigners are employed, taking up the space in the workforce. Yeah, my first impression was, "If this guy really becomes Ministry of Manpower, I'm emigrating/immigrating (whichever one is whichever one, lol)." XD His speech? "Expel the useless (referring to the foreigners) back to their own countries (to free up space for locals)". Imagine the real Ministry of Manpower saying that. Hang on, I'll get my Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince so I can quote.
"They'll be murdered in their beds!"
And there's a girl (...regretfully I can't remember her name... X( Let me check... Yeah, Ling Ling) making a speech as the "king of forest" to the animals in the forest regarding the fact that humans are going with deforestation (regretfully, I'm a woodcutter in RuneScape. Woodcutting level 97, and aiming for 99! :P), and so the purpose of the speech is to persuade the animals to evacuate (damn, I can't believe I was almost going to write "evaluate" XD) the forest. Yoshida is like, "Why evacuate (double damn, I almost wrote "evaluate" here too XD)? Stay to fight the humans! Defend your rightful forest from the filthy intruders!" I laughed out loud at that thought, lol, it just reminds me so much of the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter (this is the second time I mispelled this word as "Pottwe" -.-) and the Deathly Hallows, lol. Evaluate the kids under seventeen, and those seventeen and above stay and fight, defend Hogwarts from intruding Death Eaters. XD
And yeah, she was wearing some "crown" as she was making the speech. Lol, king of the forest... So Yoshida saw it and go, "Crown! King! King Arthur!" I don't know how he thinks of King Arthur when he sees a crown, lol. Well, the crown was made of paper, so my thought, as a(n addicted) RuneScape player, was, "A Yellow Party Hat! Oh my God, I'll buy it for 165M!" XD (By the way, that's the price of Yellow Party Hats in RuneScape AS OF TIME OF WRITING. Price can, and will, change) Somehow Yoshida got the meaning, lol, and immediately replied, "Haha, RuneScape. Take the Party Hat and sell it." I didn't know Yoshida played RuneScape, lol, and thus was expecting him to not get the meaning of what I said. XD Surprisingly he did, lol.
There was another speech, Afiqah's. She's going for President of the Student Councilor, and so her speech is to convince us to believe that she's the best candidate available and to vote for her, you know, elections and politics, blah blah. So yeah, she starts all of her sentences with "I" ("I can..." "I should..." "I will..." You get the picture), stressing the "I". So the teacher thinks she's so-called proud and overconfidence and stuff, and something about her confidence being able to attract people to vote for her. Yoshida goes, "Ore-sama.", which is a rude but very arrogant way of saying I in Japanese. XD
Ore (俺): A boastful and proud way of saying I, used by males
-sama (様): An honorific ending for names that indicates extreme reverence.
I still prefer Larry's speech when he was going for President of Student Councilor (the real one, not some stupid speech we make in class for fun and for the English teacher's leisure XD). "I'm not asking you to vote for me, but please, make the right choice." And so everyone "made the right choice" and voted for Sean instead, so he became President instead. XD Funny how I still remember that, lol. Surprisingly, Afiqah's speech wasn't as "I'm not asking you to vote for me, but please, make the right choice." (XD), seeing that Larry is in her group and thus no doubt helped in the writing of that speech...
Yuhaimi's speech bores me. His speech is on global warming, and his speech consists of copied text (from whether the Chemistry textbook or the Geography textbook, I didn't know. Both of those subjects taught about global warming somewhere), and is thus plain boring. Vernon complains to me after the lesson, "I read of it in the Chemistry textbook, I read of it in the Geography textbook, and now I have to listen to it AGAIN. *rolls eyes*" XD Yeah, I got bored of Yuhaimi's speech while he is making it, so he is the only one whose speech did not have my fullest attention. XD I was drawing Zangetsu again, lol, remarking to Yoshida that "I should learn to draw another Zanpakutou. I'm sick of drawing Zangetsu again and again (well, it's the only Zanpakutou I can draw XD). Maybe I should learn how to draw Zabimaru." XD
After one of the speeches, the teacher was saying what she feel about the speech, blah blah, and then believes that the speech deserves Band 4 (in other words, the best grade there is, lol), asking if anyone disagree. Faizal, being lame, disagrees, because "Band 4 doesn't sound nice" (Band 4, although is the best grade here, is the worst grade in Oral, lol). So the teacher changes it to "Level 4" instead. XD After the next speech, the teacher did the same thing, asking if anyone disagree with her giving "Level 4" to that speech. So playfully, I told Yoshida, "Level 4 doesn't sound nice.", and he chuckled, but unfortunately, the teacher heard me and thought I was disagreeing. XD So she was like, "What did you say?" I replied, "Nothing." She couldn't hear it. "Nothing." She has a hearing problem. "Nothing!" Thankfully Yoshida helped me tell the teacher, "He has nothing to say." Lol.
I don't really remember the other speeches. Oops.
Chemistry SPA next. As Sean was packing his bag, he remarks that it is a "major exam". Yoshida and I overheard him, so we went to the toilet, and Yoshida goes, "I don't like major, I like general. So we shall call this 'general exam'." I went, "Nah, I prefer commando. 'Commando exam'." Vernon comes in and suggest "'Sergeant exam'." XD Rofl, all of those stupid ranks in the army.
I sat beside Fym during the exam, haha. I can still remember that during the exam, I need another piece of paper, so I raised my hand and waited in silence, staring at the teacher, standing at the teacher's bench with her eyes down and looking at something on the table. After waiting for a while (I don't really mind, lol, fixing the modem has taught me patience XD), Fym softly suggested me to call out to the teacher instead. I was touched, haha, especially since this was an examination, and if she got caught saying anything to me, it would be deemed as cheating, regardless of what she said... So, yeah, thanks, Fym. :P
I definitely screwed up the exam though. According to Vernon, who told me after the exam, carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, so collecting it in a gas syringe (as what I wrote in the exam) is a major screw-up. Sigh. Well, I don't know, but Wei Sheng's words when I spoke to him during recess while walking from the classroom to the canteen sort of made me feel better, lol. Remember that Yoshida, Ephraim and I were carrying Chemistry SPA files, hoping to read it and revise during recess? I saw Wei Sheng's empty hands and asked him why he didn't bring his Chemistry SPA. He told me he gave up on Chemistry, which to be honest, I wouldn't blame him, as his Chemistry results has been, truthfully, horrible. The fact that he gave up on Chemistry, well, reminds me of myself. Didn't I give up on my Chemistry too? Weren't I using every single Chemistry lesson to the full extent? XD [well, in a way, rofl. I used it to the fullest, but just not regarding Chemistry. In other words, I spent those hours wisely, doing stuff not related to Chemistry, like maths XD In other words other than other words (o.O), I'm implying that I am not using Chemistry lessons for Chemistry XD] Aren't I already aware that I have no idea what is going on in the latest chapters of Chemistry, and that I have no freaking idea what is what? Didn't I already know that I would definitely fail any Chemistry test in the future? (since I know NOTHING about the chapters. Yes, COMPLETELY NOTHING) Didn't I already know that I would also definitely fail my Chemistry exam? Why did I still care about SPA?
Yeah, my situation regarding Chemistry seems to be completely the same as Wei Sheng, lol. Both of us are failures and goners, but well, at least we found our problem early, and thus used those hours of Chemistry for better use. XD
So yeah, that kind of made me feel better, lol. Why would I care about screwing up this exam (which I already knew I did, by the way) when I am giving up? Damn, I gotta thank Wei Sheng, lol. Maybe it's something pathetic, being so terrible in Chemistry that he is giving it up, but that made me feel the opposite, lol. Well, sort of. It's hard to say, haha.
So yeah. It's 12.39AM now. I'm one hour and thirty-nine minutes past my bedtime. XD Good night!
By the way, I was trying to download Mozilla Firefox. Take note of the transfer rate.
And yeah, my computer got formatted. Before the formatting, the only hard disk in my CPU, the C: drive (which has about 75GB in space), got split up into a C: drive and a D: drive somehow, lol, each with about 35GB in space. [How did he split the drive up into two anyway, lol? Reminds me of the Zanpakutou (Soul Slayer, the preferred weapons of Death Gods in Bleach) I made up for myself, lol...) My documents, files and pictures were stored in D: drive and it is C: that got format.
So now, I can't watch my animes due to lack of codecs in Windows Media Player [I'm freaking downloading VLC Media Player immediately after I get secured Internet access (I have Internet access now, but it tends to break after about five minutes and would only reconnect again when the moon is blue), Windows Media Player just does not go together with watching anime], and I can't play Warcraft III. Speaking of that... GOD DAMN IT, YOU NEED THE REIGN OF CHAOS DISC TO INSTALL WARCRAFT III! Yeah, I'm sort of angry over that. My Reign of Chaos disc, sigh, got thrown away by my mother together with all of the discs in my "inventory". My Frozen Throne avoided that by hiding in my DVD-drive, rofl, but still, what's the point of it now that the game isn't installed in my computer? 1. I need to install Reign of Chaos before I can install Frozen Throne, and to do that I need the Reign of Chaos disc. 2. Even if I can somehow get a Reign of Chaos disc (presumably by borrowing it from someone, if I can ever find one? o.O), I can't install Frozen Throne anyway because the CD-key was thrown out together with my whole inventory of discs... Yeah, I'm actually crying now (not literally of course), rofl. I spent fifty dollars on Warcraft, let it be one of my favorite games, and then got dealt such a harsh fate of being unable to play it even with the CD. If that bitch wasn't my mother, I would have already sent her to a hospital...
Haha, no choice, I'll get used to it... somehow. I got sort of bored with the campaigns anyway, and if I want to play a game of custom game or two, I'd just pop in at any LAN shop. It's much cheaper than buying the entire set again (I think I need to re-buy Frozen Throne as well. Lost CD-key, remember?). Sigh...
On another subject, I think I'm not getting enough sleep nowadays... I felt so sleepy in the afternoon, lol, so I went to take a nap, but damn, my parents had such a loud chat with my neighbour, so not only can I not fall asleep, I end up with a bad headache too... Sigh... X(
Right, on to school life.
First period was Geography. Zzz... The teacher wants us to do some stupid questions on mapwork. Zzz... Of course, I wasn't too delighted at the thought of that (come on, mapwork is just too stupid, too boring and too impractical. Tell me why a normal person needs to know the gradient of a mountain or the distance or a river -.-) so I thought I'd go ahead and be defiant (hey, it's my dream since childhood to be a defiant man who does whatever delights him
) and do A. Maths preliminary paper... XD After ten minutes, the teacher got bored of just sitting down at the teacher's table like a good girl and instead comes walking around. Zzz... She made quite a big fuss when she saw me doing maths, rofl. I still remember shouting, "Busted!" then. XD Ah well. And the teacher still had to go ahead and give me some crap... What "What's the point of getting distinction for maths if you don't do well for geography...?" Lol, zzz. It sounds so freaking stupid if you ask me. Oh well, whatever.More Sourced-Based Questions for us to do during Social Studies next lesson. Four of those questions to be exact, and one hour to finish them. Man, our Social Studies teacher is making me think that it is extremely easy to be a Humanities teacher. Just walk into the class, give out SBQs, sit down at the teacher's table for one hour, daydream, build sandcastles (I'm naming the first one I built Camelot XD) up in the air, collect the papers after that one hour, and leave. XD Oh well. I finished those four questions in forty minutes and spent the rest of the twenty minutes during maths, as usual. XD
It was E. Maths next. She gave us some supposed test. It was easy like shit. Well, we aren't supposed to be using calculators, but I decided to use one and check my answer after I'm done with my paper, so I was punching numbers into my calculator, and then Yoshida signaled to me that the teacher has seen me and is coming (not like I care, lol, I don't consider this "cheating" XD). Yeah, I didn't make any changes after I started checking my answer with the calculator, so I'll give you a punch if you say I'm cheating. :P I got 15 out of 15, lol, with ease. :P Yoshida only got 13 out of 15, lol, careless mistake, he messed up with the number of zeros in one question.
The maths teacher's insane, lol. I'm not even done with the A. Maths preliminary paper she gave few days ago (hey, I put a lot of effort into doing that paper! That effort was so intensively great it made the Geography teacher angry just two hours ago! XD), and she gives us the E. Maths one. XD How are we supposed to cope with the papers that's coming down upon us like waves? XD Another wave comes and start before even one wave ends! :O Ah well. I somehow felt insecure doing the E. Maths paper without the answer sheet, lol. It's like, I don't know whether my answer to part (a) is correct or not, and if it is wrong, then I will definitely get parts (b), (c) and (d) wrong, so I'm afraid to continuing, since I would ultimately be wasting my freaking time if I get part (a) wrong. I don't know how this develops in me, lol, but my reliance in the answer sheet is a pain in the ass to me. I can't be feeling this shit too when I take my Maths exams! I mustn't! Damn, I must try and shake off this reliance, lol.
Went to the library during recess as usual, three of us with our Chemistry SPA files to revise for the coming Chemistry SPA exam later [only Vernon didn't bring his, and well, he's pro (I am praying that Vernon does not read this, and if he does, then Vernon, please do not let this inflate your ego or whatever they call it :P) enough in Chemistry without needing to revise XD]. Went to the section of the library we always go to when we are there (which is at the end, the furthest away from the entrance, lol), but the two tables were joined into one, all of the chairs (about twelve or thirteen) gathered around the two tables and not a single chair was unoccupied. Yeah, so there were no place left for us to sit at that section, lol. Yoshida's first reaction, humorously, when he saw that scene was, "Wah! Knights of the Round Table!" XD I corrected him though, those two tables together don't form a circle, it forms a square! They should be the Knights of the Square Table! XD

Um, hello, reality check here, the students that she is teaching have ages of fifteen and sixteen? o.O I don't know, but while that tactic would simply and easily shut up some three-year-old kid, it wouldn't be fucking working against us. XD I even took out my scissors when the teacher has her back to us and cut air behind her, saying softly so that only my friends can hear, "Think you the only one who can cut air with scissors?" XD
Nothing to do during Chinese, lol. Wanted to do those maths prelims papers, but I thought the coming Chemistry SPA exam would be more important. The teacher said something about reading on the chapter "Speed of Reaction" in our textbook, but the problem is that I haven't been bringing my Chemistry textbook to school since three months ago, rofl (I don't need it during Chemistry lesson, remember?

I still prefer downloading anime using uTorrent, lol. Best quality around, decent speed (as long as you don't watch anime that only you and some other freaking nerd in some freaking place on earth watch it), yeah.
Man, I just realize how great it is to sit at the most left and most back of the classroom, in which there is a cupboard of stuff my classmates throw there behind me. Two dictionaries there help me while doing my English Reading Log (I still find its new name, Imprints, weird, lol), and just after E. Maths, I needed a graph paper to do the Transformation worksheet. Went around the class, no one has any graph paper. So, with nothing to do, I searched the cupboard, and oh my god, someone left graph paper there! Bless him, thank his father, I just hope he or she don't mind me taking one. :P
The English teacher was late for twenty minutes, lol. When she finally came, the rest of the class (which didn't do so last time) had to present their speeches, lol.

Hang on, I'll get my Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince so I can quote.

- Molly Weasley
And there's a girl (...regretfully I can't remember her name... X( Let me check... Yeah, Ling Ling) making a speech as the "king of forest" to the animals in the forest regarding the fact that humans are going with deforestation (regretfully, I'm a woodcutter in RuneScape. Woodcutting level 97, and aiming for 99! :P), and so the purpose of the speech is to persuade the animals to evacuate (damn, I can't believe I was almost going to write "evaluate" XD) the forest. Yoshida is like, "Why evacuate (double damn, I almost wrote "evaluate" here too XD)? Stay to fight the humans! Defend your rightful forest from the filthy intruders!" I laughed out loud at that thought, lol, it just reminds me so much of the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter (this is the second time I mispelled this word as "Pottwe" -.-) and the Deathly Hallows, lol. Evaluate the kids under seventeen, and those seventeen and above stay and fight, defend Hogwarts from intruding Death Eaters. XD
And yeah, she was wearing some "crown" as she was making the speech. Lol, king of the forest... So Yoshida saw it and go, "Crown! King! King Arthur!" I don't know how he thinks of King Arthur when he sees a crown, lol. Well, the crown was made of paper, so my thought, as a(n addicted) RuneScape player, was, "A Yellow Party Hat! Oh my God, I'll buy it for 165M!" XD (By the way, that's the price of Yellow Party Hats in RuneScape AS OF TIME OF WRITING. Price can, and will, change) Somehow Yoshida got the meaning, lol, and immediately replied, "Haha, RuneScape. Take the Party Hat and sell it." I didn't know Yoshida played RuneScape, lol, and thus was expecting him to not get the meaning of what I said. XD Surprisingly he did, lol.
There was another speech, Afiqah's. She's going for President of the Student Councilor, and so her speech is to convince us to believe that she's the best candidate available and to vote for her, you know, elections and politics, blah blah. So yeah, she starts all of her sentences with "I" ("I can..." "I should..." "I will..." You get the picture), stressing the "I". So the teacher thinks she's so-called proud and overconfidence and stuff, and something about her confidence being able to attract people to vote for her. Yoshida goes, "Ore-sama.", which is a rude but very arrogant way of saying I in Japanese. XD
Ore (俺): A boastful and proud way of saying I, used by males
-sama (様): An honorific ending for names that indicates extreme reverence.
I still prefer Larry's speech when he was going for President of Student Councilor (the real one, not some stupid speech we make in class for fun and for the English teacher's leisure XD). "I'm not asking you to vote for me, but please, make the right choice." And so everyone "made the right choice" and voted for Sean instead, so he became President instead. XD Funny how I still remember that, lol. Surprisingly, Afiqah's speech wasn't as "I'm not asking you to vote for me, but please, make the right choice." (XD), seeing that Larry is in her group and thus no doubt helped in the writing of that speech...
Yuhaimi's speech bores me. His speech is on global warming, and his speech consists of copied text (from whether the Chemistry textbook or the Geography textbook, I didn't know.

XD I was drawing Zangetsu again, lol, remarking to Yoshida that "I should learn to draw another Zanpakutou. I'm sick of drawing Zangetsu again and again (well, it's the only Zanpakutou I can draw XD). Maybe I should learn how to draw Zabimaru." XD
After one of the speeches, the teacher was saying what she feel about the speech, blah blah, and then believes that the speech deserves Band 4 (in other words, the best grade there is, lol), asking if anyone disagree. Faizal, being lame, disagrees, because "Band 4 doesn't sound nice" (Band 4, although is the best grade here, is the worst grade in Oral, lol). So the teacher changes it to "Level 4" instead. XD After the next speech, the teacher did the same thing, asking if anyone disagree with her giving "Level 4" to that speech. So playfully, I told Yoshida, "Level 4 doesn't sound nice.", and he chuckled, but unfortunately, the teacher heard me and thought I was disagreeing. XD So she was like, "What did you say?" I replied, "Nothing." She couldn't hear it. "Nothing." She has a hearing problem. "Nothing!" Thankfully Yoshida helped me tell the teacher, "He has nothing to say." Lol.
I don't really remember the other speeches. Oops.
Chemistry SPA next. As Sean was packing his bag, he remarks that it is a "major exam". Yoshida and I overheard him, so we went to the toilet, and Yoshida goes, "I don't like major, I like general. So we shall call this 'general exam'." I went, "Nah, I prefer commando. 'Commando exam'." Vernon comes in and suggest "'Sergeant exam'." XD Rofl, all of those stupid ranks in the army.
I sat beside Fym during the exam, haha. I can still remember that during the exam, I need another piece of paper, so I raised my hand and waited in silence, staring at the teacher, standing at the teacher's bench with her eyes down and looking at something on the table. After waiting for a while (I don't really mind, lol, fixing the modem has taught me patience XD), Fym softly suggested me to call out to the teacher instead. I was touched, haha, especially since this was an examination, and if she got caught saying anything to me, it would be deemed as cheating, regardless of what she said... So, yeah, thanks, Fym. :P
I definitely screwed up the exam though. According to Vernon, who told me after the exam, carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, so collecting it in a gas syringe (as what I wrote in the exam) is a major screw-up. Sigh. Well, I don't know, but Wei Sheng's words when I spoke to him during recess while walking from the classroom to the canteen sort of made me feel better, lol. Remember that Yoshida, Ephraim and I were carrying Chemistry SPA files, hoping to read it and revise during recess? I saw Wei Sheng's empty hands and asked him why he didn't bring his Chemistry SPA. He told me he gave up on Chemistry, which to be honest, I wouldn't blame him, as his Chemistry results has been, truthfully, horrible. The fact that he gave up on Chemistry, well, reminds me of myself. Didn't I give up on my Chemistry too? Weren't I using every single Chemistry lesson to the full extent? XD [well, in a way, rofl. I used it to the fullest, but just not regarding Chemistry. In other words, I spent those hours wisely, doing stuff not related to Chemistry, like maths XD In other words other than other words (o.O), I'm implying that I am not using Chemistry lessons for Chemistry XD] Aren't I already aware that I have no idea what is going on in the latest chapters of Chemistry, and that I have no freaking idea what is what? Didn't I already know that I would definitely fail any Chemistry test in the future? (since I know NOTHING about the chapters. Yes, COMPLETELY NOTHING) Didn't I already know that I would also definitely fail my Chemistry exam? Why did I still care about SPA?
Yeah, my situation regarding Chemistry seems to be completely the same as Wei Sheng, lol. Both of us are failures and goners, but well, at least we found our problem early, and thus used those hours of Chemistry for better use. XD
So yeah, that kind of made me feel better, lol. Why would I care about screwing up this exam (which I already knew I did, by the way) when I am giving up? Damn, I gotta thank Wei Sheng, lol. Maybe it's something pathetic, being so terrible in Chemistry that he is giving it up, but that made me feel the opposite, lol. Well, sort of. It's hard to say, haha.
So yeah. It's 12.39AM now. I'm one hour and thirty-nine minutes past my bedtime. XD Good night!
By the way, I was trying to download Mozilla Firefox. Take note of the transfer rate.

Cold... *shivers*
Damn, what's wrong with the air-conditioning in our class for the past two days? It got so freaking cold it reminded me of my cold-tolerance training during Genting!
Long queues easily bore us, especially more when the Euro Express was going down to maintenance every fifteen minutes, so we went back to the small, cheap and lousy room we now have. Dave went to sleep and his sister followed. Bored, I went downstairs, walked around First World Plaza, doing some window shopping, and finally sat outside the Flying Coaster, in the cold and windy mist, as silent protest or cold resistance training, for one hour. Can't remember which. Ah, let's make it both. Cold winds plus water droplets condensing on my hair makes even me shiver. Temperature at 15 degrees Celcius to 20 rocks. :D
Just what the hell happened to the aircon??
Sigh... Computer got taken away for reparation. Didn't know the Internet connection problem was this bad, lol. I should have predicted this. Three modems, one of them new, and not one can work. Why was I so blur to be unable to determine that the problem is not a small one? X( Haha.
According to the computer repairman, he's gonna format my computer. That means all the files, programs and other shit are going bye-bye. To be honest, I don't really care, as long as he backs up my files and documents. The only one I fear... is Warcraft III... All I have is the Frozen Throne disc. My mother threw away all of my freaking discs, including my Reign of Chaos disc. Yeah, all my fucking discs, costing at least approximately five hundred dollars. That bitch. Well, according to Dave, I should be able to install the game with the Frozen Throne disc, but if I can't... I'm fucked.
Today's school is not bad by the way.
Yoshida went back to the class to a misfortune. Out of the chairs in our classroom, one is spoiled, and has the plastic part of the chair separated altogether with the metal part (the frame-thingy at the bottom to support the plastic part). It is very uncomfortable to sit on that chair, so undoubtedly, anyone getting that chair would immediately try and switch it with someone else's chair, hoping he/she wouldn't notice it. A few days ago I found that chair in my 'possession', and I almost immediately switched it with Alvin's, the nearest one who I would not have any hesitation to give such a chair [hey, hey, don't expect me to give that chair to a lady. The nearest guy to me is Alvin, if you exclude Yoshida, because he would beat me up if he knew I gave him that chair XD (Yeah, Sean, I can't see you)]. So now, this morning, Yoshida found it in his possession, and almost immediately knew that it was Alvin who switched it (he witnessed me 'giving' it to Alvin a few days ago), but he can't do anything, since everyone has already returned to the classroom then.
First period was Physics test. Bah, I screwed up on one question. The formula for the transformer is NS ÷ NP = IP ÷ IS, but I thought that it was NS ÷ NP = IS ÷ IP, so instead of dividing by two to get 1A, I multiply it instead and get 4A. *rolls eyes* I'm better off than Yoshida though, he didn't read the part about current in the transformer section of his Physics textbook, and thus is somehow under the delusion that you cannot calculate the change in current by using the turns ratio, and thus for his answer, had "Can't be determined". XD
Second period was P.E. Had our heights and weights taken. Wonder what Particle E's height is, lol. Alas, the teacher didn't announce the heights. Then Vernon, Yoshida, Ephraim and I went to take badminton rackets and play badminton. It was at first 2-on-2, with Vernon and I against Yoshida and Gamma Ray. Then Larry joined in halfway, and it sort of became weird. We went into a pentagon shape and play "all-for-himself", taking the shuttlecock and whacking it at any direction we prefer, lol. Vernon seems to be distracted or something during that, so he kept missing and stuff.
Just when we are getting tired of the confusion, we decided to have a regular 2-on-2 match. Larry offers to quit, but I saw the other guys in our class gathering in the quadrangle to play soccer, and I instead offered to quit, since I wanted to go and play soccer. XD Not many goals through the game, lol. Both team's defenses are good, heh.
The four of us (Ephraim, Vernon, Yoshida and I) were the only ones to go back to the classroom to change from P.E. T-shirts to our school uniforms. Yoshida and I, lazy or for some other reason (I'm not sure about Yoshida, but mine definitely is lazy), changed in class, while Ephraim and Vernon went to the toilet to do so. Ephraim was like, "Watch out for girls coming!" We saw one coming and quickly hide. Turns out it's our Literature teacher when we are Sec 1 (three years ago), rofl, you know, the one as short as gamma ray (possibly even shorter)? XD Who cares, lol.
After we finished changing, I was just about to get a sip of water (you expect me not to get thirsty after a game of soccer? XD) when Yoshida told me that it is revenge time against Alvin. I was wondering, "Isn't Alvin playing soccer with us? (Hey, wait, is he? o.O) What did he do to you?" Turns out it's because of the chair, lol. Damn, I forgot something two hours ago. Short term memory. XD So yeah, I offered to help, and went to Alvin's seat. He dumped his uniform on the chair, so I took it, put it on his table, then switched the chairs, with Yoshida giving me the broken chair and taking the normal one from near our seats. Then, I decided to be funny, and placed the plastic part of the chair first, then put the metal part on top upside-down, then dump his uniform there. XD I suppose that Alvin is going to figure out that it was Yoshida who did it (because Alvin is probably the one who gave Yoshida the broken chair to begin with), and since he already knew, combined with the fact that Yoshida writes 死神 (means Death God, it's his nickname) almost everywhere he feels like, why not write 死神 on Alvin's place? XD But can't write, but I got a better idea. Take the Reaper rug that Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon did and dump it onto his uniform. XD I was laughing out loud as I took a photo with my handphone. XD
We were both laughing out loud, in fact, and I went to drink water. Then, Ephraim came in (followed by Vernon), and Yoshida told him what we did. They laughed out loud, and even I wanted to do so (Yoshida just put it in such a funny way), but with the water in my mouth, I choked and spat all of my water onto the floor. XD Then I showed Ephraim and Vernon the photo I took. XD Yoshida's a good Death God though, so he offers to put it back nice and proper. ...but he still left the Reaper rug there. XD
We then went to Physics for SPA. Had to do a complicated experiment, with a complicated set-up involving the usage of a laptop and three sensors. The data logging program is difficult to use, and the set-up is complicated to set up, so I got bored and went to Paint. I drew Zangetsu, lol, and it was fun. Never knew drawing on the computer could be so easy with a touch screen laptop, lol. If I ever buy such a laptop, I may think of being an artist... XD
It was recess after that. The four of us, having done no work during Physics SPA whatsoever (:P), went to the library, dumped out stuff there and then went to the canteen to buy drinks from the vending machine. We bought cans of H2O each, but Particle E disappeared, while Yoshida sat down at the foyer (or so I believe is the correct term to use here... XD) facing the gate, with Vernon and I sitting beside him. He thinks that the gate looks tempting, lol, implying that he wants to try to get out and embrace freedom. I even jokingly added that the three of us should run out, and let's see who is slow and stupid enough to get caught by the security guards. XD Yoshida seems to think that the security guards have machine guns, for usage against students who try to escape, rofl, although I seriously doubt that they even have any arms, rofl, and yes, that includes inferior weapons like sickles and brooms, and yeah, stuff like that. Why am I connecting my sentences with "rofl" anyway...? o.O
One can of H2O wasn't enough for me, so I went and buy another one, lol. We then went to the library. Talked cock, sang song, the usual. When the bell rang, Yoshida was the last to leave the library, though we didn't bother to wonder why. It is only halfway back to class that Yoshida bothered to remind us that we left our stuff in the library. XD Three of us ran back to the library rofl.
English next. More oral practice. One word to sum that hour all up: Boring.
Two hours of Maths lesson next was spent by the teacher teaching Relative Velocity... at her own pace. *cough* extremely slow *cough* I'm glad she gave us preliminary papers to do yesterday. I took it out and saved me two hours of boredom.
...Make it three. I was doing it during Chemistry too. Like, duh. When is the last Chemistry lesson in which I didn't bring something unrelated to Chemistry? I enjoy doing the maths questions, lol... as long as I can get the correct answers. If not, I'll get frustrated, and that can easily break my mood and passion to do more questions. XD
Watching the computer repairman trying to fix my Internet problems, I seemed to have figured out what career I can take if I fail at being a game designer... A computer repairman... XD Well, I want to be a game designer because I have took a liking for games ever since I've been a child, and I almost never fail to find faults in the games I play, while on the other hand also finding how this game excels in game play, graphics, and why is it so attractive to gamers. It's like, "This game is good because (for an example) it has forty plus characters for you to use, so you can have a wide choice, while it sucks because due to the excessive number of characters, many are not even used by the player, and also there is very little character development for each character (the game I am referring to, for an example, is Chrono Cross by the way. Out of the forty plus characters, I have at most used seven or eight of them throughout the entire game, lol). This other game, though, it is good because it has only three characters and thus has satisfactory character development, but it can get boring playing with only those three (I'm referring to Final Fantasy X-2 this time). I think I can design a better game by combining their pros and cons."
Long story short, it's those, "If you (with the "you" obviously referring to yours truly, haha) thinks this sucks, then I'll like to see you come up with a better one. If not, shut up."-kind of argument. So I thought, "Why not? Maybe I'll come up with a better one." It's my interest after all. Of course, I didn't just pay attention to the number of characters and character development when I play games, haha. I pay attention to the graphics, game play, storyline, battle system, mini games, etc., etc. So yeah, that's my motivation to be a game designer.
But I think my new-found motivation to be a computer repairman is more straightforward. Since childhood, I've been addicted (well, not really addicted. I think I can quit anytime, but it's just that I don't BOTHER to quit XD) to the computer (well, more to its function and less to its, you know, as in the box we call 'computer'? XD), and every time it fucks up, like it got overheat and cannot boot up, or *cough* the modem fucks up big time *cough* (I'm coughing here because this happens to me so much I think I'm now all -___- when it happens, and no longer angry or frustrated, haha), to list a few examples, my mood takes a dive to negative land (where you can find a lot of electrons floating in the air!! :D). [I'm interrupting my sentence with too many information contained in brackets too many times, man... X(] And during those really desperate times when I spent hours trying to fix my computer and fail ultimately, I'll call in a computer repairman (it's really a last measure, though, because most of them charge expensively XD), watch him work on it and just somehow got it all fixed up. I don't know, but if I became a computer repairman, wouldn't I be able to fix computers, and especially if their owners are like me, watch the smiles on their faces when I manage to fix their computers, just like what I would do when my computer is finally fixed after spending many hours trying to fix it and in the end get frustrated? (Oh my god, my sentences are getting too long XD) I don't know, that's the "noble" reason, and the "selfish" reason (man, why am I categorizing my reasons? XD) is that I would know how to fix my OWN computer and not spend hours on it TRYING to fix it and still FAIL. XD Besides, the pay seems good, lol (to be honest, I don't really know about this, I'm just estimating from the large amount of money I would be forking out after the computer repairman is done XD).
Ack, is this a time to be discussing career options...? XD
Long queues easily bore us, especially more when the Euro Express was going down to maintenance every fifteen minutes, so we went back to the small, cheap and lousy room we now have. Dave went to sleep and his sister followed. Bored, I went downstairs, walked around First World Plaza, doing some window shopping, and finally sat outside the Flying Coaster, in the cold and windy mist, as silent protest or cold resistance training, for one hour. Can't remember which. Ah, let's make it both. Cold winds plus water droplets condensing on my hair makes even me shiver. Temperature at 15 degrees Celcius to 20 rocks. :D
Just what the hell happened to the aircon??
Sigh... Computer got taken away for reparation. Didn't know the Internet connection problem was this bad, lol. I should have predicted this. Three modems, one of them new, and not one can work. Why was I so blur to be unable to determine that the problem is not a small one? X( Haha.

Used to Not Having Internet...
Sigh, how long has it been – thirteen days? – since I have proper Internet access. Man, and to think that I would go into depression if I do not have Internet access, like I did a few years ago...
School is alright, I suppose, lol.
No flag raising today due to rain. Yay. :D Vernon, Yoshida and I are the first to reach the classroom, lol, although the text on the whiteboard is enough to make me shout, "What the fuck!" Someone wrote to read Newsweek page 33 and write a summary of that page. -.- Worse still, it is signed by the English teacher, or someone claiming to be the English teacher. Why did I say that? Because the name was spelled wrongly. -.- Who knows if it is really the English teacher writing that and asking us to do this shit, or some mother fucker (who did not happen to be able to spell the name of our English teacher correctly, I may add) pulling a prank on us and thinking it is funny. I am hoping it'd be the latter (I'm too lazy to go and do that so-called 'assignment'), yet on the other hand, I hope that it isn't the latter too, rofl, because if it is, I will find which sicko wrote that and beat him up. -.-
First period is Chemistry. No shit. I brought English (more detailedly, Newsweek, lol), Ephraim and Wei Sheng brought Physics, and I saw the chairperson (her name's Hui Ling if I'm not mistaken XD) bringing A. Maths. Seems as if it is a habit of my class to bring textbooks of a variety of subjects for Chemistry lesson, haha. We all know why we do so. *looks at boring Chemistry teacher* But the one I am thoroughly impressed with though, is Larry. Not only did he bring Chemistry, but he brought Elective Geography and Physics as well! God damn it, he can read three books at once! XD Nah, actually those three books he brought are the next three subjects for Larry, none of which requires him to go to the classroom, lol, so he conveniently took all three and can not return to the classroom until after all three periods, haha.
I wanted to do the 'assignment' written on the whiteboard during Chemistry at that time, but I read through the article halfway and got seriously and thoroughly bored. Took me forty minutes to read three pages, lol, the article is too boring, so I, nothing to do, looked up and paid attention to the Chemistry teacher. Three minutes later, not absorbing anything, not understanding anything, I asked myself, "Just what the shit am I doing? And just what the shit am I hoping to achieve by doing so?" and went to sleep. ^_^
Second period was History. Watched a video about World War II, on the Allies commanders (specifically, the British ones) discussing plans, tactics and strategy for D-Day. I can't catch what they are saying most of the time. DX
Next was Physics. We moved on to a new chapter, Radioactivity, lol. We learned about the three particles, alpha, beta and gamma. The teacher, wanting to let us have an easier time remembering which particle has what properties, links it to "Three Blind Mice". Alpha, the first one, is supposedly big and fat, so it has high speed and it crashes into stuff, knocking them out of its way. Upon hearing that, everyone in the class turns towards Alvin, rofl, who is big and fat. XD Coincidentally or not, Alvin, like alpha, starts with the alphabet "a"! XD
Next is beta, which is supposedly tall and thin, so it has high speed but it doesn't knock into stuff. Alvin laughs loudly, and we all know why Alvin is laughing at, Cheng Liang, lol. Cheng Liang always makes fun of Alvin being big and fat (including just now when we learned about alpha particle too, I may add), so Alvin would reverse the situation and make fun of Cheng Liang being tall and thin. So yeah, Alvin became alpha, and Cheng Liang became beta, even though there are a lot in our class who are tall and thin as well (like Cheng Kang, Kenneth and me, lol). XD
Last, gamma, is short and tiny. Needless to say, Yoshida and I started laughing as we looked at Particle E. XD So yeah, after that, we had another nickname to call Ephraim, "Gamma Particle". XD
After Physics was recess, but Gamma Particle had a lot of questions he wanted to ask regarding tomorrow's test, so he went to ask the teacher question after question. He wasted twenty-five minutes of the times of me, Vernon, Yoshida, the teacher and himself, rofl. After the twenty-five minutes, the teacher looks as if he is having headache and needs to take Panadol, so we left, and then Particle E, as always, disappears. Turns out he went back and asked the teacher more questions. XD That Gamma Particle has a motive though, to imply to the teacher on the lack of knowledge we have on the chapters being tested tomorrow, hoping the teacher would take notice and postpone the test. XD
Geography lesson was next. Sigh... The teacher gave us worksheets to do and expect us to shut up and complete the worksheets obediently. Psh. Many people did one or two questions, gave in to the boringness of Geography and the low temperature due to the aircon, and fell asleep. I wasn't that stupid. I did A. Maths questions on Integration at the blank spaces of the Geography worksheets, the interest keeping me awake. XD
Chinese next. As usual, an hour meant to be wasted. Most of us were either practicing A. Maths in preparation of the A. Maths test coming next period, or revising Physics in preparation of the test the next day. XD I was mumbling, "Sorry, teacher, I'm going to use my Chinese Reading Log exercise book to do A. Maths integration." XD Vernon, due to coldness, was wearing a black suit, lol. He looks kinda cool wearing it. XD
Once during the lesson, Vernon felt a breeze of coldness running through him, so he made a hissing noise. I was like, "What, trying to learn how to speak Parseltongue?" XD (Parseltongue is the language of snakes in Harry Potter in case you didn't know) Yoshida, hearing that, starts to make a bunch of hissing noises. XD
Near the end of the lesson, Faizal, who didn't take Chinese (obviously, he isn't a Chinese, rofl), returns to the classroom, but since the Chinese teacher is in the classroom, he decided to leave his A. Maths textbook and pencil case (which he took to his free period) along the corridor outside the classroom and walked off (presumably to kill time and wait for the Chinese teacher to go off before he enters the classroom). Playfully, I quickly ran outside through the back door, took Faizal's stuff and ran back into the classroom, without his notice. XD He came back, found his stuff disappeared, and started to panic as he looked around, rofl. Vernon, Yoshida and I were looking at him do so from inside the classroom through the windows, and I can't help but burst into laughter. XD Yoshida, saying, "I'll go and make things more complicated.", went outside. I thought he was going to tell Faizal that I took his stuff, but he went outside, stood beside Faizal and looked down, implying that his stuff dropped to the first floor. XD I went out too and, trying to control my laughter, looked down as well. Faizal was like, "Oh fuck, I hope it didn't drop down." And after a while, where he found me controlling my laughter suspicious, went into the classroom, saying, "I hope I don't see my stuff inside the classroom." And there it is! XD Roflmao.
Last but not least (well, second last by right, but the last period, History, was canceled :D) was A. Maths. Lame teacher, she came into the classroom and announces, "And now is A. Maths." when all of us knows fully-well that it is A. Maths now, having studied for the test during that previous hour. *rolls eyes* And Yoshida and I just had to be sarcastic about it.
Samy: Hey, I thought it was Physics!
Yoshida: No, it's Chemistry now...
Samy: Really? Isn't it... um... Economics?
Yoshida: Lol, economics... Nah, it's Transfiguration.
Samy: Yeah, Transfiguration. Transform this calculator! *wields pen like wand and points at calculator, then switches it with Yoshida's one* Transform it back! *switches calculator back* Now, vanish the calculator! *points pen at calculator and takes calculator away* And finally, conjure the calculator! *puts calculator back*
Yoshida: Nah, it's Defense Against the Dark Arts now.
Samy: Expelliarmus! *points pen at Yoshida*
Yoshida: Expelliarmus! *points pen at Samy*
Samy: *flings pen away purposely* *picks up pen* Imperio!
Yoshida: Crucio!
Samy: Ouch! Avada Kedavra!
Yoshida: *pretends to die*
Samy: Expelliarmus!
Yoshida: Protego!
Samy: *flings pen away again*
XD The test was alright. Not bad. Those who failed had to attend Maths remedial. Yay. I think I'll be one of them. *pessimist* XD
And yeah, finally, a riddle before I end this blog. XD
Q: What happens when you cross a lollipop with a rabbit?
A: A sucker's born every minute.
Reminds me of that time at Genting with Dave, rofl. XD
I still remember there was a mirror on the wall. Above is the caption "Can you roll your tongue like this?" while on the left and right are pictures of people ridiculously rolling their tongues in stupid ways. Dave and I tried for a while. We then heard laughter. I tried looking through the mirror, turns out to be a glass and the people across the glass can see us rolling our tongues. Shitty hell. XD Was mad at that time, but now that I think about it, it's funny. Rofl. XD Went all the way around, and we found the glass. Above is a quote that says "There is a sucker born every minute." Roflmao.
School is alright, I suppose, lol.
No flag raising today due to rain. Yay. :D Vernon, Yoshida and I are the first to reach the classroom, lol, although the text on the whiteboard is enough to make me shout, "What the fuck!" Someone wrote to read Newsweek page 33 and write a summary of that page. -.- Worse still, it is signed by the English teacher, or someone claiming to be the English teacher. Why did I say that? Because the name was spelled wrongly. -.- Who knows if it is really the English teacher writing that and asking us to do this shit, or some mother fucker (who did not happen to be able to spell the name of our English teacher correctly, I may add) pulling a prank on us and thinking it is funny. I am hoping it'd be the latter (I'm too lazy to go and do that so-called 'assignment'), yet on the other hand, I hope that it isn't the latter too, rofl, because if it is, I will find which sicko wrote that and beat him up. -.-
First period is Chemistry. No shit. I brought English (more detailedly, Newsweek, lol), Ephraim and Wei Sheng brought Physics, and I saw the chairperson (her name's Hui Ling if I'm not mistaken XD) bringing A. Maths. Seems as if it is a habit of my class to bring textbooks of a variety of subjects for Chemistry lesson, haha. We all know why we do so. *looks at boring Chemistry teacher* But the one I am thoroughly impressed with though, is Larry. Not only did he bring Chemistry, but he brought Elective Geography and Physics as well! God damn it, he can read three books at once! XD Nah, actually those three books he brought are the next three subjects for Larry, none of which requires him to go to the classroom, lol, so he conveniently took all three and can not return to the classroom until after all three periods, haha.
I wanted to do the 'assignment' written on the whiteboard during Chemistry at that time, but I read through the article halfway and got seriously and thoroughly bored. Took me forty minutes to read three pages, lol, the article is too boring, so I, nothing to do, looked up and paid attention to the Chemistry teacher. Three minutes later, not absorbing anything, not understanding anything, I asked myself, "Just what the shit am I doing? And just what the shit am I hoping to achieve by doing so?" and went to sleep. ^_^
Second period was History. Watched a video about World War II, on the Allies commanders (specifically, the British ones) discussing plans, tactics and strategy for D-Day. I can't catch what they are saying most of the time. DX
Next was Physics. We moved on to a new chapter, Radioactivity, lol. We learned about the three particles, alpha, beta and gamma. The teacher, wanting to let us have an easier time remembering which particle has what properties, links it to "Three Blind Mice". Alpha, the first one, is supposedly big and fat, so it has high speed and it crashes into stuff, knocking them out of its way. Upon hearing that, everyone in the class turns towards Alvin, rofl, who is big and fat. XD Coincidentally or not, Alvin, like alpha, starts with the alphabet "a"! XD
Next is beta, which is supposedly tall and thin, so it has high speed but it doesn't knock into stuff. Alvin laughs loudly, and we all know why Alvin is laughing at, Cheng Liang, lol. Cheng Liang always makes fun of Alvin being big and fat (including just now when we learned about alpha particle too, I may add), so Alvin would reverse the situation and make fun of Cheng Liang being tall and thin. So yeah, Alvin became alpha, and Cheng Liang became beta, even though there are a lot in our class who are tall and thin as well (like Cheng Kang, Kenneth and me, lol). XD
Last, gamma, is short and tiny. Needless to say, Yoshida and I started laughing as we looked at Particle E. XD So yeah, after that, we had another nickname to call Ephraim, "Gamma Particle". XD
After Physics was recess, but Gamma Particle had a lot of questions he wanted to ask regarding tomorrow's test, so he went to ask the teacher question after question. He wasted twenty-five minutes of the times of me, Vernon, Yoshida, the teacher and himself, rofl. After the twenty-five minutes, the teacher looks as if he is having headache and needs to take Panadol, so we left, and then Particle E, as always, disappears. Turns out he went back and asked the teacher more questions.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Wow, the last book of the Harry Potter series was already on my sofa the moment I woke up. Gotta thank those postmen for delivering it so quickly, haha. I'm rather surprised at myself, I finished reading 607 pages in one day. XD Started at about 8.30am, finished in 9.30pm, haha.
It's sad that so many people died... Mad-Eye Moody died while trying to send Harry safely to The Burrow; Scrimgeour, who, despite being initially disliked by Harry, died protecting him from Voldemort; Wormtail and Dobby, both who helped Harry escape out of the Malfoy Manor; Fred, Lupin and Tonks died in the Battle of Hogwarts; Snape, who turns out he was actually loyal to Dumbledore, got killed by Voldemort for some stupid pointless reason...
The plot was sort of predicted already, lol. Everyone knows that R.A.B. is Sirius' brother, Regulus, and turns out he really is. Everyone knows that Harry's scar is one of Voldemort's Horcrux, and turns out it really is, too.
I'm glad the Gryffindor's sword turns out, alright (hey, I prefer swords to wands), but c'mon, don't just use it as a Horcrux-destroying weapon, start using it against Death Eaters! X(
Lol, Dumbledore guessed wrong, Voldemort ended up with seven Horcruxes than six as he thought. Oh well, no choice, Voldemort made the seventh Horcrux unintentionally anyway. Oh well, at least Voldemort managed to get Horcruxes belonging to all four founders of Hogwarts. His diary and snake shows that he is the heir of Slytherin, Slytherin's ring and locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's diadem, and Harry, who belong in Gryffindor house anyway. XD
Plus, it's impressive how even the good guys can now be casting Unforgiveable Curses without batting an eyelid.
I gotta admit, my favorite quote comes from Molly Weasley, after Bellatrix Lestrange shot a Killing Curse at Ginny: "NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" XD
Harry has absolutely no creativity in naming his children with Ginny too, lol. He calls his eldest son James Potter (in which he calls his father James Potter too, I may add), he calls his second son Albus Severus Potter, and he calls his daughter Lily Potter (in which he calls his mother Lily Potter too, I may add). *rolls eyes*
And yeah, can you actually believe that there are idiots queuing up at bookstores since last night trying to get the book when it already is on my sofa the moment I woke up and is able to start reading? XD Can't believe that there would even be people crying just because they just managed to buy a book, lol. *rolls eyes*

Racial Harmony SUCKS
Make no freaking mistake, Racial Harmony SUCKS. Well, the actual Day (as in Racial Harmony Day) sucks more, which is what I am refering to, but my first sentence, even with or without the "Day", is still correct either way. But before I move on there, let me just blog about life in general...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming tomorrow, yay. Delivered right at my doorstep, whoohoo. Can't wait, lol. But wait, I CAN wait. Because I got to finish reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince first before that. Wish me luck, doubt I can finish reading *checks number of pages* 607 pages *gulps* in one day. XD
And yeah, there's a section in Bleach volume 28 I quite like, lol. The team of Ichigo, Ishida and Chad went to Hueco Mundo and found the team of friendly Arrancar siblings. Ichigo realized that they are actually Arrancar, and they started chatting about them. (Note: I don't know the Arrancar girl's name, so I'll just call her Arrancar, or 破面 in Chinese, as, after all, my manga is in Chinese XD)
破面：这么说来，其实你们还比较像是破面呢！没有面具，又穿着黑衣，好像是死……
Arrancar: Come to think of it, you guys actually look more like Arrancar! You have no mask, and you are wearing black clothes, just like Death...
破面：啊…请问…你们的职业是…？
Arrancar: Ah... Excuse me... but what are your occupations...?
一护：黑崎一护，代理死神！
Ichigo: Kurosaki Ichigo, Death God representative!
石田：灭却师，石田雨龙！
Ishida: Quincy, Ishida Uryuu!
茶渡：茶渡泰虎…我是人类！
Chad: Sado Yasutora... I am a human!
And just look at the reactions of the Arrancar after the introductions! XD
Okay, on to school life. Racial Harmony Day sucks. -.-
Almost everyone turned up wearing those stupid ethnic costumes. Pfft. So those muggers outcast us, those who wear our school uniforms, like Yoshida, Vernon, Wei Sheng and me. So they are all like, "Yay, we are wearing ethnic costumes! Let's take photos omgomg!" *rolls eyes* So yeah, we found ourselves sitting at a table (the location of the table changes frequently), you staring at me and I staring at you, with nothing to do. Yeah, class spirit. *rolls eyes* We started playing cards. The teacher's not happy about it. *rolls eyes* We were forced off to one side, staring at each other for several hours. Outcasted. Exiled. Banned. Yay, how fun. *rolls eyes*
Ephraim borrowed some ethnic costume from Faizal, so he's supposed to belong to the main group of muggers, but he just keeps coming to us, so then we kiddingly tried to in-turn outcast him, so he's being outcasted by the outcasts. XD Anyway, yeah, boring period of hell. I can see how our class spirit is building up really well.
So what did we, the outcasts, do? We, of course, did a bunch of stupid shit to entertain ourselves.
Yoshida got a piece of paper somewhere and folded a paper airplane. He threw it down, hoping to hit one of the bangla workers at the site of so-called construction, but he missed due to strong winds and it ended up...
Next, we got pieces of used paper, shred them, roll them into balls and threw them down from the storey where our class it, aiming them at the opened dustbins at the first floor. XD
Once, Yoshida wanted to whack Ephraim, for some reason I forgot. Ephraim got his arms up for self-defense, so I playfully interfered and grabbed his arms so he can't use them to defend himself. Yoshida started whacking Ephraim's head, and that's when Particle E raises his legs and tried to kick Yoshida for defense. Yoshida, in turn, grabbed his legs and pulled his shoe out. He put it on top of the door, which is definitely a height Ephraim can never reach. XD Reminds me of the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Luna Lovegood found her shoes hang at a high place. XD But yeah, I told Ephraim that even if he cannot reach his shoe, he still can get it, but after that I showed him the solution, by kicking the door hard, and his shoe dropped onto the floor. XD
And yeah, I went to take a photo of the "backyard" of our school, due to extreme boredom. Wonder what that "structure" looking thing at the bottom of the photo is...
And so we, the outcasts, wasted two hours just like that. That's why I said I HATE Racial Harmony Day. And oh, and Racial Harmony too while we are at it.
Then, it is an hour and a half of recess. Not like we need it. Wei Sheng, Ephraim, Yoshida, Vernon, Yuhaimi and I stayed in the classroom to play card games, lol. We played Big Two, Cheat! [Yoshida's really good at mind games, lol. Once, he said he played "X" (no one in his right mind would go and remember exactly what cards each player plays at a certain period, so I'm going with "X"), and we knew full well that he had "X" in his hand, so we didn't call "cheat!". Later, he played "X" again, so naturally we all shout "Cheat!". Turns out the card he played IS "X", the first time he said he played it, it actually wasn't "X". T_T So second time, he said he played "X" (not exactly the same "X" as last time, lol). I thought he was pulling that trick again, so I called "Cheat!" It IS "X". -.- And another occasion, Wei Sheng accused Yoshida of cheating, when he didn't, so Yoshida said, "Wei Sheng, how can you think that I was lying? You broke my heart! T_T" XD Yoshida later calls Cheat! "the lying game" XD], Fishing, Blackjack, and other stuff. XD Then some stupid teacher comes and we have to go off (one, we are not supposed to stay in the class. Two, we are not supposed to play cards XD). *rolls eyes*
Vernon and I went down to the canteen. We took a walk around. Nothing much to buy. Vernon bought a can of 100-Plus from the drinks store, and then we went back to class half an hour early. Back at the class, there were only two groups, one group of Luke, Sean, Samuel and some punk from other class, and another group of Yuhaimi, Vernon and I. We were playing Big Two, when that group started playing Alones, the sixth opening of Bleach, on the guitar and singing. I took out my handphone and played the video clip of Alones. XD Handphone is better than guitar. *nods*
Vernon and I ended up playing Stress, in which Wei Sheng returns to class and watch us play halfway. We played several rounds and I only won once, lol. My thinking is laggy. X( During the game, Ephraim SMSed Vernon asking where we are, lol. Vernon didn't bother replying, rofl.
Time to do some stupid shitty fucking fucked-up Harmony Rug thing. They fucking expect fucking students to fucking sew fucking shit? Fucking fuck it, man, no fucking way! We fucking come to fucking school to fucking learn and fucking study, not to fucking sew some fucking shit! And just how the fucking hell is fucking sewing some fucking shit supposed to fucking help fucking Racial Harmony? Fucking fuck it, man!
I feel better. Much better.
Sorry for the f-words, lol. Here's a paragraph without those meanie meanie words that has the same meaning. *rolls eyes*
Time to do some Harmony Rug thing. They expect students to sew? No way, man! We come to school to learn and study, not to sew stuff! And just how is sewing stuff supposed to help Racial Harmony? Screw it!
That one hour was better off used to do A. Maths, which is exactly what I did. One hour, used it to do Logarithm questions. Now I feel extremely confident about my Logarithm questions-solving skills. XD
Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon were doing that shit, though. Yoshida spent five minutes drawing a Death God with a scythe, and they pasted it onto a cloth. Next, Yoshida came to me, borrowed my black marker, and used it to outline it. And it's done.
A pity the teacher didn't want to use it. XD
I like Wei Sheng's rug. He meant for it to be a crab, but it just looks so much like a freaking stadium, I find it funny how everyone can come, look at his work and go, "Hey, nice stadium there!". XD The teacher walks past, comments, "Hmmm, very good, a nice stadium." I freaking laughed out loud, rofl, and the teacher went, "Why? What's wrong? What's so funny?" XD
Wei Sheng borrowed my scissors to do his rug. Later, he returned it to me, so I took out my pencil box from my bag, wanting to put the scissors back in, but I poked my thumb accidentally with the sharp tip of the compass (the one you use to draw circles) inside my pencil box. Ouch. X( There was blood, lol, so I borrowed Vernon's tissue. After the bleeding stops, I went to Ephraim and asked him to open his mouth so I can throw my tissue away (specifically, in his mouth XD). Yoshida found a scissors and imitated cutting his thumb, though he ruined it by imitating drinking his blood. I got the meaning anyway, and smacked him for it. :P (He's implying that I'm stupid enough to get myself injured, by the way.)
EDIT: (Note: This is an edit done several hours after the blog post has been initially finished.) Just now while reading Harry Potter, I came upon this:
'Well, at least you know one lesson you'll be having this year, that's one more than Ron and me. I wonder when our O.W.L. results will come?'
'Can't be long now, it's been a month,' said Ron.
'Hang on,' said Harry, as another part of the previous night's conversation came back to him. 'I think Dumbledore said our O.W.L. results would be arriving today!'
'Today?" shrieked Hermione. 'Today? But why didn't you – oh my God – you should have said –'
Hermione's "oh my God" reminds me of something that happened in school that I forgot just now. Yoshida, Ephraim and I went to check the completed harmony rag so far at that time, after Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon are done with their Death God rag and me bored of doing any further A. Maths questions. One of them had something that was white and shaped like a boat to me, with a smiley face drawn onto its center. It looks like a tissue to me, so I figured it is made of tissue, but I wasn't sure whether is it really a tissue or not, so I asked Ephraim and Yoshida. Dirty-minded Ephraim thinks it's a sanitary pad. X( Yeah, I thought he was just joking, but after a while, several of the girls started gasping, "Oh my God...!" What it really is, I will never know, but for the sake of pure minds, let me happily and merrily continue assuming that it is made of tissue papers glued together, eh? X(
Then we had to do some stupid survey. Since what I wrote was mostly negative (hard to not understand why, after being outcasted and shit. They are lucky that they, who outcasted us, are of the same race as us, or we'll accuse them of Racial Outcasting and use the accusation to do some Racial Disharmony
), I couldn't possibly write my real name, right? I even messed up my handwriting, to not make it look like it was me. XD I mean, why the shit do you have to write your name for a survey? Would the answers still be honest after the guy writes his name? No, dammit! Of course, this is too much of an injustice to not vent my frustration, so I had to hide my identity instead. So, I thought for a while for a name to use, and I ended up writing, "黑崎一护" at the blank, and under it, write "代理死神". XD Yeah, I got it from Bleach volume 28, where Ichigo, Ishida and Chad introduced themselves to the Arrancar. XD Okay, here's hoping whoever is doing shit with the survey doesn't read this, because then, my identity would be exposed immediately. X(
Vernon wrote negative crap too, but he didn't bother masking his handwriting, haha. He thought of a name, but didn't think of it as good enough, so he turned around to Fym's table and "borrowed" (he just took without asking or permission, by the way) her eraser, use it, turn back and put it back. He then thought of another name and wrote it, while Fym started packing. Then Vernon made a mistake, turns back, and realized that Fym has already packed her pencil box, so he asked for an eraser. Fym took out her pencil box, unzipped it and lent him her eraser. Vernon used it, returned it, and Fym started packing again. Vernon made another mistake, so turned back, and asked for the eraser again. I was laughing uncontrollably at that time. Fym took a while, and that's when Vernon realized the presence of the eraser at the other end of the pencil (which actually was Sze Ling's, by the way XD), so he used it, but Fym didn't notice and took out her pencil box from her bag and her eraser out of her pencil box AGAIN, this time for no ultimate purpose. Rofl, all this trouble for Fym just because Vernon "couldn't write his name right". XD XD XD Yeah, it's extremely funny if you think of him as writing his own real name and just not some alias (I can't pronounce this word T_T), it's like he couldn't even write it without making some stupid mistake. XD I read the name he spent three minutes writing, during which he slightly irritated a girl. Some German name. o.O Heil Hitler! o.O Since when does our class have a German? O.o At least my name sounds more convincing, we have a Japanese here. *looks at Yoshida* XD
I went to take the photo of the rug Vernon, Ephraim and Yoshida did (which was rejected by the teacher), so that's why I got the picture up there. XD Then, Yoshida decided to take the picture too, but in negative effect, to make it looks scarier. XD I'll invert the colour of the photo so you can tell how scary the picture is now in negative effect. XD
So in the end, Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon spent an hour doing that rug for nothing, rofl. Yoshida took it, and left it on the handle of the staircase we were climbing down on our way out of the school. I thought it was a pity to leave it there, and thus I took it, but Yoshida told me he only spent five minutes drawing it, and that he can draw another one, lol, so I left it outside some classroom. If only I can see the reaction of the people in that classroom after they found the picture of a scary Death God outside their class. XD Wonder if their reaction would be better or worse than the reaction of the Arrancar after Ichigo, ishida and Chad's introductions? XD
And we went home. Blog end, byebye. *goes off to read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*
EDIT: (Note: This is an edit done several hours after the blog post has been initially finished.) I was reading Harry Potter at the living room when the news was on TV. Number of couples marrying today doubled, according to the news, just because of today's date, leading me to just realize that today is 20/07/2007, lol, or 20.07.2007, whichever method you prefer to write your dates. Well, I only realized it now, since I prefer to write my date as "20 July 07". XD Yeah, I've switched from writing the number of the month to spelling it out since Primary 5 (that's five years ago, by the way), since my form teacher then insists on us spelling out the month, and it kinda got stuck, haha.
Then that reminds me of Elsen's birthday today, which in turns reminds me of last year (a year and a day ago, to be exact), on 20/06/2006 (or 20.06.2006, whatever *rolls eyes*), when Fym came to my blog and tagged, informing me of the date and that it also coincides to be Elsen's birthday on that day, lol. Interesting how I can still remember that piece of information, haha. Wonder if it is still saved in my tagboard's "history" of messages?
Which got me confused. So is Elsen's birthday on 20 June or 20 July? Did Fym make a mistake last year, or did the entire class make a mistake today (highly doubtable, though ^_^")? Who knows? XD
Okay, I'm going back to reading Harry Potter...
And while I'm at it ('it' referring to typing the ending of this post), can you imagine a country that has near 100% of the population being Chinese, like China and Taiwan, but yet is as small [I prefer living in small countries like Singapore. What's the point of your country being big? You need to spend a long time on traveling (the thought of traveling from Singapore to Genting comes to my mind), and I've heard that Americans, especially those who live inland, had to wait for months to enjoy going to the beach! (Remember that America is a big country) So I'll prefer living in small countries, thank you very much], as pwnage [well, it may sounds kinda stupid to say this, since it's my own country and all, but there's no other country (that I've visited so far anyway XD) better than Singapore XD] and as technologically advanced (I can't imagine life without computer and Internet. ...Wait, I can imagine life without Internet. That's how I've been spending these ten days or so...) as Singapore? Man, that country would be paradise. I'm sooooooo going to emigrate/immigrate [whichever one is correct, I can differentiate x10 + 2x9 - 3x8 + 4x7 - 5x6 + 6x5 - 7x4 + 8x3 - 9x2 + 10x - 11 (and to prove it, I'll differentiate it. 10x9 + 18x8 - 24x7 + 286 - 30x5 + 30x4 - 28x3 - 18x + 10. :P), but I can't differentiate between emigrate and immigrate XD] there!
Yes, of course, I'm beating around the bush and indirectly saying that Racial Harmony Day sucks. Funny how what happened in school can lead me to dislike celebrating Racial Harmony... XD
Okay, I'm really going back to reading Harry Potter now.
But before I move on there, let me just blog about life in general...Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming tomorrow, yay. Delivered right at my doorstep, whoohoo. Can't wait, lol. But wait, I CAN wait. Because I got to finish reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince first before that. Wish me luck, doubt I can finish reading *checks number of pages* 607 pages *gulps* in one day. XD
And yeah, there's a section in Bleach volume 28 I quite like, lol. The team of Ichigo, Ishida and Chad went to Hueco Mundo and found the team of friendly Arrancar siblings. Ichigo realized that they are actually Arrancar, and they started chatting about them. (Note: I don't know the Arrancar girl's name, so I'll just call her Arrancar, or 破面 in Chinese, as, after all, my manga is in Chinese XD)
破面：这么说来，其实你们还比较像是破面呢！没有面具，又穿着黑衣，好像是死……
Arrancar: Come to think of it, you guys actually look more like Arrancar! You have no mask, and you are wearing black clothes, just like Death...
破面：啊…请问…你们的职业是…？
Arrancar: Ah... Excuse me... but what are your occupations...?
一护：黑崎一护，代理死神！
Ichigo: Kurosaki Ichigo, Death God representative!
石田：灭却师，石田雨龙！
Ishida: Quincy, Ishida Uryuu!
茶渡：茶渡泰虎…我是人类！
Chad: Sado Yasutora... I am a human!
And just look at the reactions of the Arrancar after the introductions! XD
Okay, on to school life. Racial Harmony Day sucks. -.-
Almost everyone turned up wearing those stupid ethnic costumes. Pfft. So those muggers outcast us, those who wear our school uniforms, like Yoshida, Vernon, Wei Sheng and me. So they are all like, "Yay, we are wearing ethnic costumes! Let's take photos omgomg!" *rolls eyes* So yeah, we found ourselves sitting at a table (the location of the table changes frequently), you staring at me and I staring at you, with nothing to do. Yeah, class spirit. *rolls eyes* We started playing cards. The teacher's not happy about it. *rolls eyes* We were forced off to one side, staring at each other for several hours. Outcasted. Exiled. Banned. Yay, how fun. *rolls eyes*
Ephraim borrowed some ethnic costume from Faizal, so he's supposed to belong to the main group of muggers, but he just keeps coming to us, so then we kiddingly tried to in-turn outcast him, so he's being outcasted by the outcasts. XD Anyway, yeah, boring period of hell. I can see how our class spirit is building up really well.
So what did we, the outcasts, do? We, of course, did a bunch of stupid shit to entertain ourselves.
Yoshida got a piece of paper somewhere and folded a paper airplane. He threw it down, hoping to hit one of the bangla workers at the site of so-called construction, but he missed due to strong winds and it ended up...
Next, we got pieces of used paper, shred them, roll them into balls and threw them down from the storey where our class it, aiming them at the opened dustbins at the first floor. XD
Once, Yoshida wanted to whack Ephraim, for some reason I forgot. Ephraim got his arms up for self-defense, so I playfully interfered and grabbed his arms so he can't use them to defend himself. Yoshida started whacking Ephraim's head, and that's when Particle E raises his legs and tried to kick Yoshida for defense. Yoshida, in turn, grabbed his legs and pulled his shoe out. He put it on top of the door, which is definitely a height Ephraim can never reach. XD Reminds me of the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Luna Lovegood found her shoes hang at a high place. XD But yeah, I told Ephraim that even if he cannot reach his shoe, he still can get it, but after that I showed him the solution, by kicking the door hard, and his shoe dropped onto the floor. XD
And yeah, I went to take a photo of the "backyard" of our school, due to extreme boredom. Wonder what that "structure" looking thing at the bottom of the photo is...
And so we, the outcasts, wasted two hours just like that. That's why I said I HATE Racial Harmony Day. And oh, and Racial Harmony too while we are at it.
Then, it is an hour and a half of recess. Not like we need it. Wei Sheng, Ephraim, Yoshida, Vernon, Yuhaimi and I stayed in the classroom to play card games, lol. We played Big Two, Cheat! [Yoshida's really good at mind games, lol. Once, he said he played "X" (no one in his right mind would go and remember exactly what cards each player plays at a certain period, so I'm going with "X"), and we knew full well that he had "X" in his hand, so we didn't call "cheat!". Later, he played "X" again, so naturally we all shout "Cheat!". Turns out the card he played IS "X", the first time he said he played it, it actually wasn't "X". T_T So second time, he said he played "X" (not exactly the same "X" as last time, lol). I thought he was pulling that trick again, so I called "Cheat!" It IS "X". -.- And another occasion, Wei Sheng accused Yoshida of cheating, when he didn't, so Yoshida said, "Wei Sheng, how can you think that I was lying? You broke my heart! T_T" XD Yoshida later calls Cheat! "the lying game" XD], Fishing, Blackjack, and other stuff. XD Then some stupid teacher comes and we have to go off (one, we are not supposed to stay in the class. Two, we are not supposed to play cards XD). *rolls eyes*
Vernon and I went down to the canteen. We took a walk around. Nothing much to buy. Vernon bought a can of 100-Plus from the drinks store, and then we went back to class half an hour early. Back at the class, there were only two groups, one group of Luke, Sean, Samuel and some punk from other class, and another group of Yuhaimi, Vernon and I. We were playing Big Two, when that group started playing Alones, the sixth opening of Bleach, on the guitar and singing. I took out my handphone and played the video clip of Alones. XD Handphone is better than guitar. *nods*
Vernon and I ended up playing Stress, in which Wei Sheng returns to class and watch us play halfway. We played several rounds and I only won once, lol. My thinking is laggy. X( During the game, Ephraim SMSed Vernon asking where we are, lol. Vernon didn't bother replying, rofl.
Time to do some stupid shitty fucking fucked-up Harmony Rug thing. They fucking expect fucking students to fucking sew fucking shit? Fucking fuck it, man, no fucking way! We fucking come to fucking school to fucking learn and fucking study, not to fucking sew some fucking shit! And just how the fucking hell is fucking sewing some fucking shit supposed to fucking help fucking Racial Harmony? Fucking fuck it, man!
I feel better. Much better.
Sorry for the f-words, lol. Here's a paragraph without those meanie meanie words that has the same meaning. *rolls eyes*
Time to do some Harmony Rug thing. They expect students to sew? No way, man! We come to school to learn and study, not to sew stuff! And just how is sewing stuff supposed to help Racial Harmony? Screw it!
That one hour was better off used to do A. Maths, which is exactly what I did. One hour, used it to do Logarithm questions. Now I feel extremely confident about my Logarithm questions-solving skills. XD
Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon were doing that shit, though. Yoshida spent five minutes drawing a Death God with a scythe, and they pasted it onto a cloth. Next, Yoshida came to me, borrowed my black marker, and used it to outline it. And it's done.
A pity the teacher didn't want to use it. XD
I like Wei Sheng's rug. He meant for it to be a crab, but it just looks so much like a freaking stadium, I find it funny how everyone can come, look at his work and go, "Hey, nice stadium there!". XD The teacher walks past, comments, "Hmmm, very good, a nice stadium." I freaking laughed out loud, rofl, and the teacher went, "Why? What's wrong? What's so funny?" XD
Wei Sheng borrowed my scissors to do his rug. Later, he returned it to me, so I took out my pencil box from my bag, wanting to put the scissors back in, but I poked my thumb accidentally with the sharp tip of the compass (the one you use to draw circles) inside my pencil box. Ouch. X( There was blood, lol, so I borrowed Vernon's tissue. After the bleeding stops, I went to Ephraim and asked him to open his mouth so I can throw my tissue away (specifically, in his mouth XD). Yoshida found a scissors and imitated cutting his thumb, though he ruined it by imitating drinking his blood. I got the meaning anyway, and smacked him for it. :P (He's implying that I'm stupid enough to get myself injured, by the way.)
EDIT: (Note: This is an edit done several hours after the blog post has been initially finished.) Just now while reading Harry Potter, I came upon this:
'Well, at least you know one lesson you'll be having this year, that's one more than Ron and me. I wonder when our O.W.L. results will come?'
'Can't be long now, it's been a month,' said Ron.
'Hang on,' said Harry, as another part of the previous night's conversation came back to him. 'I think Dumbledore said our O.W.L. results would be arriving today!'
'Today?" shrieked Hermione. 'Today? But why didn't you – oh my God – you should have said –'
Hermione's "oh my God" reminds me of something that happened in school that I forgot just now. Yoshida, Ephraim and I went to check the completed harmony rag so far at that time, after Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon are done with their Death God rag and me bored of doing any further A. Maths questions. One of them had something that was white and shaped like a boat to me, with a smiley face drawn onto its center. It looks like a tissue to me, so I figured it is made of tissue, but I wasn't sure whether is it really a tissue or not, so I asked Ephraim and Yoshida. Dirty-minded Ephraim thinks it's a sanitary pad. X( Yeah, I thought he was just joking, but after a while, several of the girls started gasping, "Oh my God...!" What it really is, I will never know, but for the sake of pure minds, let me happily and merrily continue assuming that it is made of tissue papers glued together, eh? X(
Then we had to do some stupid survey. Since what I wrote was mostly negative (hard to not understand why, after being outcasted and shit. They are lucky that they, who outcasted us, are of the same race as us, or we'll accuse them of Racial Outcasting and use the accusation to do some Racial Disharmony
), I couldn't possibly write my real name, right? I even messed up my handwriting, to not make it look like it was me. XD I mean, why the shit do you have to write your name for a survey? Would the answers still be honest after the guy writes his name? No, dammit! Of course, this is too much of an injustice to not vent my frustration, so I had to hide my identity instead. So, I thought for a while for a name to use, and I ended up writing, "黑崎一护" at the blank, and under it, write "代理死神". XD Yeah, I got it from Bleach volume 28, where Ichigo, Ishida and Chad introduced themselves to the Arrancar. XD Okay, here's hoping whoever is doing shit with the survey doesn't read this, because then, my identity would be exposed immediately. X(Vernon wrote negative crap too, but he didn't bother masking his handwriting, haha. He thought of a name, but didn't think of it as good enough, so he turned around to Fym's table and "borrowed" (he just took without asking or permission, by the way) her eraser, use it, turn back and put it back. He then thought of another name and wrote it, while Fym started packing. Then Vernon made a mistake, turns back, and realized that Fym has already packed her pencil box, so he asked for an eraser. Fym took out her pencil box, unzipped it and lent him her eraser. Vernon used it, returned it, and Fym started packing again. Vernon made another mistake, so turned back, and asked for the eraser again. I was laughing uncontrollably at that time. Fym took a while, and that's when Vernon realized the presence of the eraser at the other end of the pencil (which actually was Sze Ling's, by the way XD), so he used it, but Fym didn't notice and took out her pencil box from her bag and her eraser out of her pencil box AGAIN, this time for no ultimate purpose. Rofl, all this trouble for Fym just because Vernon "couldn't write his name right". XD XD XD Yeah, it's extremely funny if you think of him as writing his own real name and just not some alias (I can't pronounce this word T_T), it's like he couldn't even write it without making some stupid mistake. XD I read the name he spent three minutes writing, during which he slightly irritated a girl. Some German name. o.O Heil Hitler! o.O Since when does our class have a German? O.o At least my name sounds more convincing, we have a Japanese here. *looks at Yoshida* XD
I went to take the photo of the rug Vernon, Ephraim and Yoshida did (which was rejected by the teacher), so that's why I got the picture up there. XD Then, Yoshida decided to take the picture too, but in negative effect, to make it looks scarier. XD I'll invert the colour of the photo so you can tell how scary the picture is now in negative effect. XD
So in the end, Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon spent an hour doing that rug for nothing, rofl. Yoshida took it, and left it on the handle of the staircase we were climbing down on our way out of the school. I thought it was a pity to leave it there, and thus I took it, but Yoshida told me he only spent five minutes drawing it, and that he can draw another one, lol, so I left it outside some classroom.

Blog end, byebye. *goes off to read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*
EDIT: (Note: This is an edit done several hours after the blog post has been initially finished.) I was reading Harry Potter at the living room when the news was on TV. Number of couples marrying today doubled, according to the news, just because of today's date, leading me to just realize that today is 20/07/2007, lol, or 20.07.2007, whichever method you prefer to write your dates. Well, I only realized it now, since I prefer to write my date as "20 July 07". XD Yeah, I've switched from writing the number of the month to spelling it out since Primary 5 (that's five years ago, by the way), since my form teacher then insists on us spelling out the month, and it kinda got stuck, haha.
