Teacher's Day, bleh.

Lol, today is a long and event-filled day. Now let me slowly blog as I relaxedly drink a cup of coffee (*someone shouts: "The heck?! You don't even have a cup of coffee!!"*) and, yeah, what else should I do? Ah, heck.

And oi, I DO have a damn cup of coffee.



Okay, maybe I don't. All I did was take a picture of my table, get an image of a cup of coffee from Google Image Search and sloppily slap the two pictures together. I apologize for misleading you. O.O

Okay, enough of the nonsense. Let's begin the bloggin'!

By the way, tomorrow is officially Teacher's Day, not today, but who the heck celebrates Teacher's Day on a Saturday when all the schools are closed? So obviously, common sense, we are celebrating Teacher's Day one day early.

And that, and that alone, is the source of all commotion today. And I must admit, today is NOT an ordinary Teacher's Day. I repeat, NOT an ordinary Teacher's Day. Why? Read on and find out yourself!

And this eventful day begins with boring school. Boring school, naturally and obviously, have boring stuff. And the boring stuff begins with a boring game of guessing. They put up one bunch of photos of the childhoods of various teachers and expect us to guess which teacher is which. -.- I can't tell the purpose or significance of the game, but if our aim is to kill time, I think they failed. I mean, looking at photos of our teachers when they were babies and toddlers? Have you no shame?? O.O Nah, I'm exaggerating. Ignore me. :)

And so, to so-call celebrate Teacher's Day, we got food and we started to eat. Yay? o.O I have no idea why we are eating cakes for Teacher's Day, but, meh, it's alright. I have no idea why Samuel baked one of those two cakes, but meh, it's alright. I have no idea why Samuel wrote on the box of the cake that he did his differentiation, but meh, it's alright. I have no idea why we are singing a song that so obviously has the same tune as the birthday song, but meh, it's alright. I have no idea why they changed the lyrics of the song from a birthday song to a Teacher's Day song, but meh, it's alright. I have no idea why we are clapping while we are singing the song, but meh, it's alright. I have no idea why we are even singing a song, but meh, it's alright. I have no idea why I kept saying "I have no idea why... ..., but meh, it's alright.", but meh, it's alright.

Damn, there's too many things I have no idea about. There are so many questions I have for this world... But WAIT! I have a quote here!! Let me find it...

"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever."

- Chinese Proverb

Don't ask me about he who asks a bunch of freaking questions but did not get any answers.

Next is some ridiculously stupid game, and you guess correctly, another stupid guessing game. This time, we have people up in front waving their hands and arms and legs and toes and fingers and heads and $#@% () trying to convey a word or message to everyone else. Gee, that's sure fun, huh? Pains me how lame we are becoming in celebrating Teacher's Day.

I still remember. When I was Primary 4, I remember Teacher's Day to be a fun-filled day where we had to waste money on the day before to get expensive stuff to give to teachers (yeah, I still remember Yujun bought a golden pen and showed off -.-), then go to a concert where students perform for teacher. Now, six years later, Secondary 4? We get together to eat and play silly guessing games. People say that we get more mature as we age. I finally found an exception to this "law".

I think Teacher's Day is no longer a day to credit the hard work and effort put in by other teachers to ensure the best for our futures, but merely a day where no work must be done but yet we must still do something to kill time.

So sooner or later, we (we as in Yoshida, Vernon and I by the way) got bored of guessing (then again, we didn't participate much. It's just the same people over and over again. Yawn...), so Vernon took out his deck of poker cards and we started a game of Big Two, with me calling Faizal over. Soon, Wei Sheng came over, and we played a game of Big Two with five players. If this is how we spend our Teacher's Day then so be it. -.-

And we get dismissed, yay. Before I started wondering on the purposes of us bringing bags to school when it seemingly served zero purpose, let's go on to the "main event" of the day.

I agreed to meet up with Hong Wei and go back to Yumin Primary School together. To complicate matters further, he has to get two more of his classmates. Apparently, one of them also studied in Yumin Primary School, though I don't think I ever meet him before. The other, a gal, studied in the "neighbour school" of Chongzheng Primary School and somehow just tags along.

Well, to be honest, I wasn't really interested in the idea of visiting my old school with two complete strangers, so after a long chat, I managed to convince Hong Wei, and Hong Wei in turn managed to convince the two of them, that we visit our respective primary schools separately.

So that's how it is. Hong Wei got the two of them to eat first, while we used the excuse of wanting to buy a Teacher's Day present first. I called it an excuse because we could have bought the present AFTER lunch, hehheh. :P So we went to buy a present. Walked past a stationary shop, and I was thinking, "Why not just buy one cheap red pen (come on, which teacher doesn't need a red pen?), box it up nicely, package it up nicely, and give it to the teacher?" Not a bad idea, man. It goes well with my budget. :)

So we looked at the red pens, and found one cheap one for fifty cents. XD Want to buy it and package it up, but the shopkeeper tell us to just directly buy the red pens at the back, packaged up nicely to give to teacher. Wow, that's what I call a mind for business. XD But then, aiyo, package four pens together sell for $1.50. Out of budget liao! X( But then, still no choice lah, some more already prepared can just directly give, so buy lor.

So after that, we're supposed to have lunch, but I'm afraid Hong Wei's friends would still be eating, so I got him to call them first, asking them to leave for their primary schools first, and we'll go there after we are done eating and meet up with them. But then, they need to buy presents too, and that's when we noticed each other three metres away... XD Rofl. I shouted, "Busted!", but I think it ended up sounding more like, "Bastard!" X(

So we left them there choosing presents and ran off for lunch. He ate noodles, while I ate chicken chop. Halfway, those two came back again, and for some reason, sat down there and decided to wait for us to finish. Dot dot dot, lol... Well, gotta admit, those two are not bad, lol. Much better than I expected. Damn, I really oughta be a little bit more trusting strangers. Can't be an anti-social pessimist forever... :P

For some freaked out reason, Hong Wei chooses to sit at a table surrounded by banglas. -.- Those two noticed it, of course (well heck, you can't expect me not to notice too, especially since I'm racist -.-), and I think the guy (his name's Kenneth. Yeah, I know, I have another Kenneth in my current class too. The tall Kenneth. But this Kenneth is rather short, 150cm... Don't worry though, I don't think he's that short. I mean, after all, I hang around with Ephraim, so my definition of "short" kinda got screwed up -.-) is racist too, because he asks, "Hey, I think we sitting at wrong place ah. How come like dark dark like that?" XD Felt like I was eating dinner, lmao (the surrounding's black, so I "assumed" that it's nighttime and we're eating dinner. Get the joke? :P).

Soon enough, we are done, and we went to a bus stop to wait. Waited for a while, we got bored and decided to walk. And while walking, the bus we wanted to take drove past us. -.-

It is while approaching the back gate of the two schools that we separated. Us three guys, belonging to Yumin Primary School (wait, hang on. USED TO. :P), decided to walk towards the back gate, while the girl went one big round to the front gate of Chongzheng Primary School. I was SMSing with Sakura, and she told me that the gates of Yumin Primary was locked, the teachers gone. Since we were there already, might as well have a look around, right? So I SMSed her back, "Climb the gate lor." And guess what??



I'd like to inform you guys that this photograph was taken from inside the school compound. In other words, I climbed in BEFORE them. :D And oh, I MMSed the picture to Sakura, saying, "CLIMB THE GATE!!" XD

And so we looked around. Not a single soul. All the gates, doors, staircases, etc. to the second floor are locked. So are the staff room and general office, locked. That's the welcome we get for returning back to our primary school after leaving it for four years. Tch. I wanted to explore around, to regain back some memories (I have almost memories of every single little location there. Played Ice&Water so much that there's no place in school I have no idea about, lol :P), but Hong Wei just has to go to the toilet. -.- Of course, the toilet is locked as well, so we have no choice but to sneak into Chongzheng Primary School for their toilet...

And so we did that, and I wanted to look around. Blimey. It's a different school from ours, but the freaking layout is EXACTLY the same! EXACTLY! Damn it, it's like... yeah, Chrono Cross. Home World and Another World. Both worlds look exactly the same, but of course with major intentional differences (like it is purposely that the Viper Manor in Home World is destroyed, while the Viper Manor in Another World is still there, intact), but every single little detail, the rock, the trees, all of them look EXACTLY the same. But yet, it just looks so different... You can tell the difference awfully easily, like the people wandering around. Like for example, in Chrono Cross, the two Leenas in two Arni Villages. They look the same, but they have different attitudes with Serge, right? (Well, can't blame her. After all, Serge died ten years ago in Another World -.-) So, it's sorta like that, lol. Can't really explain it in words. Meh.

Since we didn't belong in that school, we left pretty soon after. I was sort of amazed to see signboards of Jonathan and Wenjia outside the school, lol. Of course, I took a photo. :P



I'm going to laugh at them about it when they come online on MSN. XD

And the guards at Yumin Primary told us the teachers would be back at 6pm. So I was like, "We 6pm come back ah. Ho seh boh?" and left. Though I admit, I wasn't intending to return at 6pm at that time when I said that. XD

So anyway, Hong Wei and I have nothing much to do anyway, so why not just go into Chongzheng Primary School and have a look around? After all, they don't have proof that we are not former Chongzheng Primary students, and either so, with the huge crowd of former students flooding in, who would blame them?

Turns out former students returning have to write their names and ICs at the security post. -.- Obviously, we wrote fake names, lol. I pulled some name out of thin air: Lim Chong Teck. Rofl. Don't know why Lim, lol, especially since Hong Wei's surname is Lim too... XD That guy, no creativity, just swap his name around. So he wrote: Lim Wei Hong. The heck? XD

Remember Hong Wei's female classmate who used to study in Chongzheng Primary. She's there too, and she saw us walking into her former school, rofl, so she's all shouting at the guards, "They are not from this school! They are not from this school!" We just marched in. :P

Nothing much to explore. Guards here guards there guards everywhere. Pesky. -.- I'm used to running past them and ignoring them. Gotta admit, all thanks to the bangla guard at my school. Shouting and shouting and shouting whole day, he got me all used to shouting pesky guards. -.- But alas, Hong Wei, sigh... He's sort of afraid of those guards, lol. Didn't want to run past them, didn't want to ignore their shouting. Worse, he'd hesitate when a guard shouts at us. Remember what Zangetsu from Bleach said? "Hesitate, and you will die"! :O So we are all fated to just stay in the canteen and look for ways we can sneak in without alerting the guards (though obviously, I think I'm the only one doing the latter :P). A while later, we got shooed off. Think it's because the kids in Chongzheng are being released from school. -.-

On the way out, I saw one guy I find very familiar, lol. Turns out he's also from Ngee Ann Sec, but he's in 4R1. No wonder it was like, "Hey, I swear I've seen the punk before, I just can't remember where". XD So I approached him, yeah, he's from 4R1, lol. I don't even know his name, yet he knows my name. X(

So, it was only 2pm then, yet we have nothing to do. We decided, after a long time, to just go and play basketball, so we began walking towards my house. While walking, he told me of a manga shop at Block 201 near 7-Eleven, but there's two 7-Elevens at Block 201, lol. So we went to one of them, and he told me it's the other. -.- But it's not along the way, so we headed to my house instead. But yet, it's still early, the Sun is still scorching hot, so we did some indoor activity first before going.

We first played Pokémon cards, lmao. I used my Grass deck while he used my Fire deck. I was winning at first, but he turned the tables around and thrashed me. T_T Next, we watched Bleach episode 138 online. Gotta admit, the episode is not bad, lol. But then again, after... *counts* ten episodes of fillers, any non-fillers would be not bad. -.- Luppi's voice was unexpected, lol. Maybe because he looked too much like a girl, I was sort of surprised to hear a guy's voice coming out of his mouth. XD Looking forward to Ichigo and Grimmjow's second fight on anime, lol. Getsuga Tenshou-spamming Ichigo... :P

Next, we played Chess Titans on my computer, lol. It ended in a stalemate, my carelessness. He's left with only a King, while I still have a Queen, a Rook and a Bishop, yet I got confident and started moving anyhow, resulting in a stalemate. -.-

We finally went to play basketball. Had a few practice shots first, I was trying out three-pointers, lol. There were also two guys with us at that half of the court we are using, one a red-wearing guy, and the other a small and young guy. Later, we got bored and challenged them to a match. Gotta admit, despite appearances, they ARE good, lol. The small guy's especially good at snatching the ball. We got thrashed thoroughly, lol. Well, not really thoroughly. It was like, 2-10, lmao. Then Hong Wei didn't want to lose that badly, while I, on the other hand, wanted it to just end quickly. So Hong Wei got in two shots, and I one for fun, so the score was 5-10. Then they finally did the finishing shot, 5-11, game set, we lost. Good game. XD

We went to the convenience shop and bought a 1.5 litre bottle of H2O to share among ourselves. After drinking for a while, we went back and did a few practice shots again. Out of so many three-pointers I tried to shoot, I only managed to get in one, rofl, and I admit back then, it was purely tyco. XD I got bored pretty soon [if you still can't tell, then let me tell you this: You are an idiot. Wait, hang on, the heck? I meant to tell you this: I've got a short attention span. :)], so I challenged Hong Wei to one-on-one HORSE, lol. I somehow won, lol, with me at R and Hong Wei at E. I was irritating him, shooting from under the hoop. XD

There was another team of three playing HORSE at the same half-court as us too. There's one handsome-looking Chinese guy, he seems to be quite good at basketball and knows a few tricks up his sleeve. There's a second Chinese guy, doesn't really look like a Chinese guy though, but yeah, I heard him converse with the first guy in Chinese. The third guy, bangla, don't know how to play basketball. I mentally questioned his purpose in wasting the space of the basketball court by occupying it.

Again, I got bored soon after and challenged the team of three to a match, but of course, we can't be outnumbered, so I got the small guy whom we played against just now to join now, who was then at the other half of the court. Three-on-three, lol. The game was extremely well, haha. Hong Wei is most of the time standing outside, while I'm most of the time standing inside. Hong Wei just receive the ball, try to shoot, and when he miss, I catch it from under the hoop, shoot and score. XD Sometimes our small ally will stay under the hoop with me too, lol. Two people catching it is better than one after all. Sometimes he would be staying out, especially when both of us were heavily marked (can't be blamed. We are quite tall, eh? XD), so he gets to shoot for free. XD The game was ending 10-3, and I can tell, the other team is getting unhappy, lol. The handsome-looking Chinese guy got injured when our small ally accidentally whack his face with the basketball (at least that's what I believe what happened. Blame Vernon to SMS me exactly when a foul was committed -.-), so his spectacles scratched him a bit. And oh, the bangla guy, totally useless. He sucks at passing, he sucks at dribbling, he sucks at shooting, he sucks at marking, he sucks at catching the ball, he sucks at running, he sucks at snatching the ball, the only thing he is good at is giving us possession of the ball. -.- Not that I'm racist, but yeah, that guy really sucks, so it was like 3-on-2 to begin with. Heck, lol. So game was ending 10-3, right? Since we got most of the balls in from under the hoop (their defense are kinda sucky), I passed the ball to Hong Wei, and telling him, with the intention of mocking the opponents, "The last shot must be shoot from a three-pointer!" Then he runs up, and I shout at him, "THREE-POINTER!" XD So he walked a few steps backwards, to the three-pointer line, and shot, and damn, he really got it in. XD I think my opponents are wetting their pants, lmao. So I said, "Good game, guys, good game." when the two of us left. They didn't bother to reply. Rofl! XD

Hong Wei's spectacles got bent while playing basketball, so we went to Tampines Mart to get it fixed. After that, we went back to Yumin Primary School. On the way, we walked past the other 7-Eleven, and reminded of the manga shop which Hong Wei mentioned earlier today, I asked him where it is, and he brought me there, to which I have no idea of its existence, lol, and we went and looked around. Whoohooo, Bleach volume 29 is out. I obviously bought it. :D

Quincy ownage. Ishida pwns so much with Seele Schneider. I'm beginning to like the Arrancar No. 103, the one who Ichigo fought, lol. He valiantly sacrificed himself for Ichigo... So touched... T_T

We went back to Yumin Primary at 6.30am. Not a single ghost in sight while we hanged around the front gate. Hey, it's April Fool so fast? ...Pesky guards.

We decided to went home afterwards. Phew, end of blogging. 12:43am now, don't mind me, I need sleep... XD

Boring Banquet

I gotta admit, I'm rather impressed myself. In less than two days after starting a new game of Final Fantasy VIII, I'm now on disc two. Though I gotta admit, I'm undertrained and underleveled. After the third Laguna dream at the beginning of disc two, Squall is only level 15, lol... Oh well, it's a good thing the strength of the enemies in FF8 are scaled according to Squall's strength. Wonder if I can hit disc three two days later? XD Nah, I doubt it, lol.

I went to a boring banquet just now, for the Hungry Ghost Festival. Gotta admit, not only is it boring, it's damn noisy as well.

There's a guy standing at the entrance greeting whoever comes. I must admit, I myself got pretty much intimidated by that guy's appearance. Offensive red bushy hair, though no one would probably even take offense, because he's wearing a vest that reveals his chest muscles and arm muscles, and I gotta admit, no one would be brave enough to stand up against him after seeing those well-honed muscles. To add to the image of intimidation further, he's got a picture of a middle finger with three skull rings on the other fingers behind his back. I believe he alone is enough to make a whole entire army flee in terror. -_-

About halfway through the banquet, I got bored of boredom (I hope this phrase makes sense?) and the noisiness and decided to walk around. Since the banquet was held in Eunos, about five minutes' walk away from my school from a long time ago (eight years to be exact. Blimey, it was that long?), I decided to walk there and take a look at my old school, lol.

So I went back to Eunos Primary School. Well, went outside it, to be more detailed. It's nighttime and obviously the school is closed, lol. I had a look around, and cor blimey, I almost could not recognize it, lol. The school got renovated after I left after finishing Primary 2 there, so as I looked and looked at the school, I could not find any old memories there.

That got me thinking. My current school is going to get renovated too, right? Maybe ten years down the road, I come back, walked around the outside, looking for memories of my secondary school life... Would I still find the memories back? After all, the school is probably going to finish renovation ten years later, into a new school I have zero memories of. Would I be staring at the new school, with the same name as the school I went, but with completely none memory of it, as if I'm staring at a school which I have never attended before?

Sigh, I'm thinking too much into it, lmao.

Completion of Final Fantasy XII

Take this man, I completed yet another RPG: Final Fantasy XII. Okay, this time I went in completely prepared. Set my Gambits like hell, lol. Vaan spams Hastega, Ashe spams Protectga and Shellga, and Basch Dispelga anyone with Haste, Bravery and/or Faith. And not to forget, all three have Arise to automatically revive fallen pals, Ashe has Cura (which is more than enough to heal everyone's HP), Basch has Curaja and Vaan has Renew (those two need more advanced White Magic, as I equipped them with warriors' equipment, so their magic naturally sucks).

Gabranth is easy, of course. Vaan and Ashe buffs, Basch Dispelga, then Vaan and Basch hack-and-slash while Ashe spams Expose or Shear (one reduces enemy's defense, the other reduces enemy's magic defense. I forgot which is which. :P Ashe spams the one which reduces defense by the way). Easy enough.

Same thing with Vayne, but the process goes faster, as I have Larsa by Vaan and Basch's sides, hacking-and-slashing.

Vayne Novus comes next. I had Vaan and Basch running around dispatching the Sephira first, while Ashe runs out and buffs or cures. Of course, I have no idea what Gabranth is doing, as my characters are on constant movement (for that I blame the five Sephira, flying around like shit -.-), but I like to assume that he is slowly but steadily hacking down Vayne's HP as my three characters are busily running about. After all that is done, we surround Vayne and hack-and-slash him to death. Mwahaha.

And the final boss: The Undying. :O Same strategy, buff, then heck-and-slash. His spells do a lot less damage with Shellga, and Dispelga is no big deal, we can just Hastega, Protectga and Shellga back. :D I just don't like his ability to make himself immune to physical and magical attacks. Annoying. -_-

The ending is lame though. FFIX and FFX-2 still have the best endings.

...Well, maybe that's because the main characters of both games hug each other during both endings. XD





Oh well, FFXII was never a RPG with romance. Now, on to completing FFVIII!

Here Comes The Preliminaries!! IX

Whooohoooo, today is the last day of the preliminaries at last! :D STORM, EARTH AND FIRE - HEED MY CALL!! XD Yeah, right. One more month to 'O' level and here I was , almost going to prepare to game like hell... XD

I'm getting bored of hunting marks in Final Fantasy XII, but what can I do now? All the tasks that remain of me is to complete all of the marks, obtain all of the Espers, maybe fill the Sky Pirate's Den if I really want to fully complete this game, and then finally get the ending by raiding Bahamut and killing those four bosses in a row. Maybe I can just do the last one directly and get Final Fantasy XII over with? Hmm, I don't know, lol, I still have no confidence in defeating those four bosses. Well, Gabranth would be easy. Hastega, Protectga, Bravery, and maybe Berserk too and he will go down. I'm more worried over Vayne. I don't think he'll go down with an easy fight...

So, continue with this boring thought of fully completing the game at the expense of boredom, or skip the boring shit and just go and thrash Vayne? Hmm...

For some weird reason, during morning assembly, we were instructed not to sit down after the flag raising ceremony. During the instructing, I joked to Ephraim that even if he sits down, no one can tell the difference anyway, since he is already so short, so he can go ahead and sit down, no one won't see anything. And so, after flag raising, Ephraim really went and sat down! XD He had to stand up afterwards, the teacher caught him sitting down. XD

Geography preliminary paper 2 was not bad. Ten questions and we had to choose four. I looked at the questions. I can't do plate tectonic, I can't do waves and I can't do rivers. That's three questions off. -_- I ended up writing crap for the answer... Sigh... -.- The last question was phrased exactly like a Social Studies structure essay question, "How important was education in the development of Singapore? Explain your answer." I did the question as if it really is a SS SEQ. XD

So I finished the exam with half an hour and a piece of paper left, thinking on how to kill the time. Remember in episode 45 of Bleach, where Ichigo attempts to defeat Zangetsu in order to master Bankai? Zangetsu summons a million of swords meaning to look like Zangetsu, but with obvious errors [(just look down at the extreme end of my blog for a picture of those ;)].

Ichigo: W-What the hell's this?!
Zangetsu: Of all these, only one is the real me. Only that one can defeat me. If you want to force me into submission, find it before I kill you. And... slay me if you can.



Zangetsu: I told you, all the blades here are pieces of your heart. This is a trial where you must find the one out of those formed only to fight. *shows the pieces of a broken sword, the one that Ichigo last uses* That one was a piece of your heart's frailty trying to rely on me.
Ichigo: Frailty... trying to rely... my heart...
Zangetsu: While you cannot distinguish even that, do not even speak of Bankai!
Ichigo: Is he saying all these are my weaknesses? Dammit!

So I got something like an urge to draw the scene, lol, with the cave-like atmosphere, rocks around, and swords pierced into every corner. And this is what happens after half an hour:



I seriously suck at drawing landscape. XD

I feel a lot better after all this exam craps are over, heh. On my way back home, I saw a elderly man jogging. I felt like running too, maybe because I'm too happy that the exams are over, haha, so I started running home. XD


After the rain, the skies will definitely shine.

Here Comes The Preliminaries!! VIII

Makes me so happy that tomorrow is finally the last day of the preliminaries! Well, not technically, the day after tomorrow is the last day, but tomorrow will be the last day for me, as I myself don't have any preliminary papers on Wednesday. :D

I'm falling in love with the Hare Hare Yukai dance, as featured in the ending of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, lol. The dance is so cute, the song is so cute, the girls are so cute... XD

Got my hands on One Piece volume 46 yesterday, mwahaha. After reading up to Chapter 468 online and understanding the basic foundation of Thriller Bark, I must admit, now that I read back, it seems to make much more sense, and I can understand it much better. It's always good to go back, ya? XD

There wasn't any SBS for this volume, but instead Oda shows us the exterior and interior of the new ship, Thousand Sunny. I gotta admit, it's breathtakingly awesome and SUPER! Franky has indeed done a SUPER job on it. XD

I like how in the kitchen, Sanji puts all food that can be eaten directly inside the locked fridge, and food that cannot be eaten raw and must be cooked in the storage, to prevent Luffy from sneakily eating food. XD Let's all tell Luffy the PIN to unlocking the fridge, "7326", and hell would break out!! XD

I also like how in the guys' room, the guys had pasted their wanted posters on the walls to show off, lmao, even Chopper with a pathetic amount of 50 belli! XD I like how Sanji didn't paste his more. XD Rofl, he must have find it a pathetically ugly picture and refuse to paste it. XD

Let's see, today's papers...

Chemistry Paper 1 was first. Pfft, I couldn't be bothered to give a damn about Chemistry. Even wonder why was I even there in the first place, I'm so freaking sleepy I couldn't open both eyes at the same time, and had to switch routine between my left and my right eye in order to avoid knocking into obstacles like Alvin. -_- Like you know, the left eye opens for ten seconds while the right eye sleeps for ten seconds, then switch, etc. -.-

As expected, I rushed through the paper, relying a lot on my calculator's random function (I must admit, whoever implemented that seemingly useless function is a GENIUS). I finished it in 15 minutes, then went to sleep.

Warning: I'm maneuvering into dangerous territory here. If you for some reason can never stand vulgarities, racism, or all those other bulshit, please fucking leave.

So halfway through the paper, when I'm comfortably sound asleep, there was some stupid changes to the paper. As if I care a fuck about some fucking changes. So the freaking bangla invigilator caught me asleep, and thought that she is being a merciful angel by kindly waking me up and informing me of the presence of the stupid changes, as if I can care a fuck. To be honest, I was still conscious then, I'm aware of the changes, I just couldn't be bothered to wake up and change my answer according to the changes, because:

One, this is Chemistry we are talking about, and since when do I have gave a damn about the subject or my results in the subject?
Two, I got those answers by using the calculator's random function, so what's the difference?
Three, I don't know how to freaking do the question anyway, so what's the point?
Four, I'm so fucking sleepy, and to me, sleep is much much more important than Chemistry. Here's an equation to make it simpler to those mathematic-crazy nerds.



So apparently, the fucking bangla teacher with bird shit for brains (don't ask me why bird shit, it's just what scrolls into my head as I type this message) somehow manages to delude herself that she is being an extremely kind and noble woman for informing a student completely in dreamland of the changes [ignoring the fact that the student may seem much happier in dreamland. I don't know, but I'm extremely glad that I wasn't in dreamland (or more specifically, dreaming about spending time with a cute girl :P), because I'd have freaking kick her with a Hero Hero Axe the moment I wake up], and thus, expecting to obtain a Nobel Peace Prize for her noble act (I don't know, but that's the Nobel Prize most associated with the shit that's going through her mind I guess), freaking starts to wake me up.

But of course, my mind is clouded with sleepiness, my body is binded with sleepiness, I can't think, I can't move, so I could do nothing but laze and sleep. So the teacher, believing that she is doing a great deal of good for the fucking sake of humanity (don't ask me how disturbing a helpless student can be considered as "doing a great deal of good for the fucking sake of humanity", ask the bangla bitch), decides to disturb me and force me to wake up. You can't believe the fuck she did, man. First she uses a piece of paper and whack me on the head repeatedly for fifteen seconds. Of course, I'm a kind man, I tolerated her, I ignored her, I let her do what she want, and for fuck's sake, she reached out for a yard after taking an inch, and started to poke me everywhere with her stinking, dirty marker at every freaking spot I expose my skin. For fuck's sake, you cruel, evil woman! (What's that quote again? The one Uthas the Lightbringer said to Arthas before he died in Warcraft III... Oh yeah!) I dearly hope that there's a special place in hell waiting for you!! But of course, my tolerance waning, I decided to continue ignoring her. After all, there's this Chinese proverb that says "大人不计小人过", meaning that a greater man does not make note of a lesser man's faults literally, so what can I do? So now, the bangla bitch apparently thinks it's starting to be a fun pastime. After all, looking after kids doing their exam papers for one hour is a tiring and boring chore, right? So she starts shaking my chair. Shake, shake, shake. If I need a shake, I'd have slept at the epicentre of a earthquake, god damn it! So yeah, that bitch continues to shake, shake, shake, thinking, "Wow, this is so fun! I must recommend this to my friends!"

Of course, there is yet another Chinese proverb that says "老虎不发威，你当我是病猫", meaning that if the tiger doesn't get angry and show his might, one might think of it as a sickly cat. So I sat up, and shouted (not like I wanted to do it, it's in the middle of a freaking exam after all, and I fear disturbing my classmates, but asking me to tolerate this further is just plain ridiculous!!), "CAN YOU STOP BOTHERING ME?!" (By the way, it is with full restrain, both physical and mental, that I did not add, "you fucking bangla bitch!!" ^_^"). She weakly tries to justify herself, "But there are changes to the paper!" Of course, I'm already freaking aware of that. I wanted to reply, again in the loud and frustrated tone, stuff like, "I don't give a fuck about your changes!" "Screw your changes, bitch!", but yeah, I'm too sleepy, so I just went back to sleep.

Thinking back, I realized that my anger management has improved a lot! If the me five years ago is faced with a similar experience, I wouldn't just shout. I have analysed the situation, and analysed myself five years ago, and I have reached the conclusion that the below might be a few actions of what I would do.

1. Grab my pencil, thrust it upwards with full force and stab it into her eyeballs. But of course, my pencil will get extremely dirty (she's a filthy bangla after all), and I prefer to keep my pencil, so I wouldn't do that now, but who knows abut the me five years ago. Maybe he would grab Yoshida or Larry's (those two are sitting beside me by the way) pencil(s) and do the same. That's more cruel to Yoshida and/or Larry, yeah. :P

2. Grab the table I am sleeping on, raise it up high, jump up and smack it with full force into the bitch's face. Of course, again, I wouldn't do that now. My spectacles, calculator and pencil box are all on the table, and I'm sure they would all break if I perform such a powerful maneuver. But I bet the me five years ago would not hesitate to do so. After all, I only started wearing spectacles two years ago, and my pencil box five years ago is filled with junk a lot cheaper than the junk inside my pencil box now. Wait, can I even raise a classroom table up high five years ago...? *thinks* Oh yeah, I think I can. I remembered throwing a table playfully when I was a kid. Haha, those times when you can give no damns about consequences.

3. Shout this incantation: "Walls of ironsand. Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! A priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. Standing upright, silent to the end. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Way of Binding, number seventy-five! Quintet of Iron Pillars! Way of Destruction, number sixty-three! Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down!!" And then proceed to laugh out loud as five incredibly tall and thick pillars fall from the sky and pin the bangla bitch to the ground, and then fires two shots of flaming blue spiritual energy with great potency over a wider area and with more power at the bangla bitch. ...Hold on a minute, have I mastered the Way of Binding up to seventy-five and the Way of Destruction to sixty-three five years ago? I haven't right? Fuck it.

4. Draw my Zanpakutou, shout, "BANKAI! KYOUDAI AIDAGARA!!" A great pillar of flame will engulf me, and then forms into a great Chinese dragon of flames, winding around me and controlled by the weird-looking sword hilt that I am holding. Then, I raise my sword hilt high up into the sky and slam it down at the floor, so that if there is a sword blade, it would pierce and sunk into the ground, the entire dragon absorbed into the ground, heating it up to extremely high temperatures. Then I will shout, "KUZURYUUJIN!!" The ground will then burn up so badly a red aura descends, the ground radiating heat at dangerous levels, and nine great Chinese dragons born from entirely flames will burst out of the ground, at spots surrounding the bangla bitch, and engulf her in a sea of flames and despair. ...That'd be perfect, of course, but I haven't master Bankai yet five years ago. (Yeah, that's the concept of my Zanpakutou. Just let me finalize it... when I feel like of course. XD)

So my behaviour is now a lot better, isn't it? :)

Yeah, sorry for the racist content, but you expect me not to be racist after that? Fat hope.

After that, we are given 50 minutes for last-minute revisions before Physics start. Great, such a long time, zzz... Yoshida, Vernon and I started studying together, but eventually we started discussing stuff like Final Fantasy. XD

Pure Physics Preliminary Paper 1 (Or PPPP1 for short o.O) was quite easy, lol. Except I dare not have confidence in my results, because I know that if I do so, I would definitely be disappointed when I get back my paper and saw a bad result, so I'll look at the dark side and be a good, pessimistic boy. XD

And we went home after that, yay! :D

Fuck it, Geography Paper 2 tomorrow... *checks the combined number of pages for both Sec 3 and Sec 4 textbooks* 569 pages! Fuck it, man! I'm going to die of extreme boredom... Zzz... -.-

And oh yeah.





Actually... Ponytails turn me on.

XD

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Instead of revising for my Physics Preliminary Paper (or otherwise known as teh PPP XD) 1 tomorrow, or my Geography Preliminary Paper 2 two days later, I'm spending my weekend (the weekend in the middle of a period of preliminaries papers, one after another by the way XD) watching a new anime named The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, lol.

Wanted to watch the anime a long time ago, since I was browsing a forum and saw a user with a sig of characters from that anime, the girls look so cute XD, but I didn't know what anime was that, so I didn't know how to watch it, lol. Then, two days ago, while on a MSN conversation with Yuchi, I asked him what animes he watch, and he told me he watches The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. So I checked it up on Wikipedia, bingo! It IS the anime I'm looking for, lol. Without further ado (well, actually, WITH further ado. I only started watching yesterday morning, after playing basketball with Hong Wei XD), I went to watch the anime, lol.

Gotta admit, that anime is wacky. A God, an alien, a time traveler and an esper, with a completely ordinary human stuck inbetween. Rofl. XD A pity the series only had fourteen episodes, lol, in which I had already watched twelve. XD

Another thing which confused me is the ordering of the episodes. The episodes were numbered according to storyline (hereby known as "chronological order", but of course, that phrase is too long, so I shall refer to it as "chr ord" XD), but they were broadcasted in another order for another reason (hereby known as "broadcast order, or "BO" in short XD). According to Yuchi, the BO is because it "makes the ending stronger" (don't you mean "better" there, Yuch?). Of course, I see no reason why watching episodes in a random (well, not really so "random") and weird order gives a better ending. One might as well go and watch the Straw Hats rescuing Robin in the Enies Lobby arc first before going back to watch the Straw Hats fight against Robin in the Arabasta arc in One Piece for a better ending, or go and watch Ichigo fighting Grimmjow wearing his Vizard mask (second or third battle, either one will do) before going back to watch Ichigo fight against his Inner Hollow while trying to master his Hollowification in Bleach. *rolls eyes*

So yeah, I went to watch the episodes in chr ord. Seems as if the first six episodes are the "main storyline", and the rest of them "anime fillers". :S Of course, I doubt they really are anime fillers, but they seem to just be there to extend the number of episodes, lol. Now I see why they mess up the order, to separate up the first six equally among the fourteen, although that's weird, since the chr ord follows the timing of the storyline, why does all of the "anime fillers"-like content happen AFTER the main storyline instead of inbetween? Who knows, lol?

Just wanna share some funny quotes from episode 11 BO or 13 chr ord.

Kyon: "I relax and kill time in the company of a time traveler, an alien, and a esper... and yet I've managed to hold onto my sanity. I must be someone special. Maybe I'll be scouted for arhathood."

Mikuru: Sorry for the wait. I bought this Karigane for the first time. I think I was able to brew it well...
Kyon: *thinking* Do not worry. If it's been graced by Asahina-san's hands... even tap water would taste better than thawing Alps snow!

Kyon: What do you need?
Computer Society President: First, I'd like you to take this. You'll find game software inside. It's an original we developed. We published it at the cultural festival a while back. Did you happen to see it?
Kyon: I don't remember. The only memory I want to retain from the cultural festival... would be Asahina-san's fried soba cafe costume.

XD

And oh, Asahina Mikuru-chan is sooooo kawaii... XD

And by the way, I realized that, after downloading about sixty chapters of School Rumble manga yesterday, the rate at which videos on Veoh start to load a lot slower. I thought it was the wireless connection case, in which I moved my laptop from my bedroom to the dining room, which is closer to the wireless router, but not much change in speed. I went to delete the temporary files, holding all of the School Rumble manga I downloaded, went to Disk Cleanup and stuff, and damn, the videos started loading A LOT faster!

So if you find that videos on sites like YouTube and Veoh are loading very very slowly, run Disk Cleanup, and delete your Temporarily Internet Files!

And I just realized something. You know in Asterisk, the first opening in Bleach, the part of Orihime and Tatsuki spraying on the screen, then showing the credits of Asterisk, right?







Look at the letters behind at the wall. The big letters spell "KON", right? I thought it was just a reference to our dear Kon-sama.


Yo! How're you maggots doin'!?
But then I realized, HOLY SHIT! There is a picture of Kon painted on the wall above the words! First time I noticed that, lmao!

Basketball with Hong Wei

I went to play basketball with Hong Wei this morning, lol.

We met up at the basketball court near my house at 8.10am, lol. So early, what dedication, lol. Furthermore, he told me to bring him something to eat, as he was hungry and didn't eat anything back at home. -_- I wanted to bring him three packets of biscuits, but I feared that it would not be enough, so I ended up bringing five. Yet he only ate one packet. -_- Well, to be more accurate, two-thirds of a packet (there are three biscuits in each packet). =_= We ended up crushing the biscuit and putting it on the floor for the ants. XD

My basketball didn't have any air, so he brought his portable pump, but I suppose we pumped too much air into it, because it bounces much higher than what we expected it to, so it gets uncomfortable initially, lmao.

We went and started a few practice shots, then I got bored and decided to have a one-on-one match. I got owned, lol, 4-11. Sigh, must have been because it's been a long time since I ever touched a basketball. XD But oh well, hey, if I remember correctly, even Sean and I teamed up couldn't even beat Hong Wei... XD

Shooting many times and none of your shots going into the hoop can be very frustrating. *nods*

After the match, we ended up shooting a few more times. I got frustrated by being unable to score any goals (that being very frequent whenever I play basketball by the way XD), I tried something fun, lol. I used to play basketball with Yujun, and that guy has some crazy left-hand strength. He can one-hand all the way from the center in the middle of the court volley the ball at the board, and slam it with a loud bang. Of course, he often could not get the ball into the loop. XD

So I tried to follow him. :P Went to the center of the court, but of course, I can't possibly not do an airball using only one hand, so I had to use both. Hit the loop, smashed into it with a loud bang, but almost. XD Hong Wei came and gave it a try too. XD Then I decided to use only one hand. Yup, airball. XD XD

Then we got tired and decided to get a drink from the convenience shop nearby and take a break. He bought a bottle of Pepsi Twist, while I figured that I wasn't really hungry and thus didn't buy anything, though I drank three or four gulps of his drink. :P We sat down at a bench in the void deck for a while, before we decided to go to Tampines Mart for breakfast.

We looked inside the food court, but he didn't find anything he wanted to eat, so we instead went to 7-Eleven and decided to buy cup noodles. XD We also bought a Big Gulp and shared it among us, while he also bought a cup of whipped potato. He bought laksa-flavored noodles and me chicken-flavored. We went to outside McDonald's to eat. XD It's a long time I've ate cup noodles, lol. That was great. XD

Then we went to have a walk, and after a huge detour, we ended up back at the basketball court, lol. We practiced shooting some more, in which he was teaching me how to shoot (which I kind of suck at, lol). The posture, the springing of the legs, the flipping of the hand, the aiming at the board, argh, all too complicated. Next time I play basketball, I will just snatch the ball from the opponent and pass it to my teammate, who will shoot and score. *nods* Hong Wei agreed with that strategy too, because that would mean that I would often pass the ball to him (well, most of the time while playing basketball against others, we often team up, lol, and he would always be the best scorer in our team) and he would shoot. Rofl, he wants the glory for himself. XD

A while later, my father came and I ended up teaming up with him in a match against Hong Wei, lol. Hong Wei managed to get a shot in, then while marking Hong Wei together, my old man crashed into me and he claimed he "got injured". -_- If I were this strong, I'd have go around creating trouble and starting fights. XD So yeah, he told us he couldn't continue and went home. ......

We played for a while more, then got bored and started playing with our handphones, lol. Wow, his handphone has a 3.2 megapixels camera! And to think that my handphone only has a 2 megapixel camera while my digital camera has a 3.2 megapixel camera... o.o Took a photo using his handphone, lol.



After a while, I persuaded him to accompany me to the fitness station, lol. We played for a while, then once again started playing with our handphones. XD I took a picture of him secretly as well. XD



And then he had to go home, because he had to go to his cousin's house, lol.

By the way, I'm freaked out over how big national flags can get. Take note that those surrounding ones are of the average size, and that this photo was obtained using the maximum zoom the camera in my handphone can give. o.o



And strange, it only took me now to start reading School Rumble manga, lol. Oh well, I got bored of waiting for San Gakki on the anime, and since I've already got more addicted over the manga than the anime in BOTH One Piece and Bleach (I blame the fillers), why not School Rumble as well? So I went to read, lol. Took me a while to find at which chapter Ni Gakki left off. -_-

And yeah, I found something funny. This is a character in School Rumble, his name is Hanai Haruki.



And this is a character in Bleach. His name is Aizen Sousuke.



Aizen is powerful, I tell you. During the Soul Society saga, after Ichigo rescued Rukia and Aizen got the Orb of Distortion, Komamura came, shouting "AIZEN!!!", then going Bankai, but because he could even attack, Aizen owned him with a Way of Destruction, Number 90: Black Coffin. o.o Aizen then escaped to Hueco Mundo, but before that, he says that no one stands at the top of the world, not even God. He then says that he will be the one to stand at the top and end the unbearable vacancy on the world's throne. He sweeps his hair behind, crushes his spectacles, and now looks like this:



So, yeah, I forgot what chapter of School Rumble this is in, but Hanai's classmates decided he should get a makeover.



Swept back hair, checked.
Loss of spectacles, checked.
A strand of hair in the middle, checked.
Small eyes =.=, checked.

*clears throats*

*imitates Komamura* AIZEN!!!

XD

StepMania

Lol, I went to download StepMania, a rhythm video game to play, and the first two songs I added (and the only two songs that I currently have now XD) are Asterisk and d-tecnoLife, the first two openings of Bleach, lol. I even went to download the openings from YouTube for background video (bleh, bad quality, lol), but somehow, I couldn't get the timing right... The video always lag after the music by a second or two. Not much of a big deal, I know, but I just can't ignore it, especially since I am sort of a perfectionist, rofl.

And whoohooo, I managed to not make a single error in Asterisk! :D d-tecnoLife is difficult to score well though. -.-

Here Comes The Preliminaries!! VII

Here's a conversation with Hong Wei on MSN...

hw says:
later i reply u
Samy [Can't I even dream?! I am a pirate!!] says:
T______T
Samy [Can't I even dream?! I am a pirate!!] says:
So bad you
hw says:

hw says:
now not so free
Samy [Can't I even dream?! I am a pirate!!] says:
Watching porn ah?
hw says:
no la
hw says:
bad for health

I think I now know why Ephraim is still so short...

Today news showed that there are people in Singapore who secretly took photos of girls under their skirts... X( Despicable bastards, that's so lowdown. Some more they are posting it up online and expecting payment to view those images. God damn them, what a disgrace to Singaporeans. One year in jail is too light. They should be thrown down into spirit-sealing pits, and with Hollows down there to keep them busy. They should be executed like the mongrels they are. Damn those bastards!


Throw them down the pits for us to feast! Rawr!!

Okay, that thought was nice. Next.

I was watching the 9pm show on Channel 8. This poor guy, his father pushed him into a blind date. The girl comes, I almost threw up. Ended up forcefully and noisily shooting air out of my mouth (can't really describe that action in words... ). The girl, two words to describe her: Fat and unattractive. Oops, that's three words. Please don't try to picture it, or you'll be throwing up your lunch onto your computer monitor and keyboard. X( I forgot how many times of "oh my god" I said while watching that... XD

So yeah, the guy see the girl, wah lan wei, one hit KO, immediately sian diao. Sadded lah, ah? So he found some excuse to flee, then the girl's mother I think talking with the guy's father, what the girl very good, morning 5am wake up cut rubber, 8am go market, work until 10pm, blah blah blah, and I was like, "So she works seventeen hours a day... *nods* (*checks Bleach episode 1*)" Okay, screw it, restart. *clears throat*

"I see. So basically, you're hardworking? And you worked all the way from 5am to 10pm to support your mother? Which means your mother is very old, poor and cannot work? And it needed the support of a filial daughter like you? Okay, I belie– *flips table into the air* NO WAY I'LL BELIEVE THAT, DUMBASS!!"

XD So yeah, the guy looked totally, "Oh my god, I might as well commit suicide. Life has no more meaning any more... Goodbye, oh cruel world... T_T" Then his friend (obviously a girl by the way) came and helped him by pretending to be his girlfriend. After looking at the fat one, I saw his friend, and I was like...



...... ...... EH?!! A GODDESS?!!

XD That's always what happens when you see ugly women too much, even an ordinary lady can look like a goddess. XD



So cool, lol! I'm gonna use Sanji kicking Absalom in this picture as display picture and "Didn't I tell you......!! TO TAKE THOSE OFF?!!!" as my nick in MSN. XD

We got back our class photos today. Yippee. XD I'll share them with you guys, haha. The class that I am proud of...! :O No choice, I didn't have a scanner, so I have to use a digital camera, lol. If I don't use flash, it'd be dark and blurry, and if I use flash, there would be spots of light reflected. -.- So how? Simple, use flash, just sacrifice the teacher. See what I mean?



Let's just blame her for sitting in the middle. XD And here's the informal photo:



Cool, lol, they got some effect at the bottom where the school name is, where we can see the last row in the background. :P Vernon and I are in there, rofl. So... where is Ephraim? You can't find Ephraim? Of course you can't find Ephraim!! But you can see him perfectly in the formal photo, you say? Yeah, alright, I'll teach you how to find him.



1. Look at this picture closely
2. Stare at it for ten seconds
3. Scan the picture closely and detailed
4. Close your eyes for three seconds
5. Shout as loudly as you can, "COME OUT, EPHRAIM!"
6. And there he is!! Magical, isn't it?? :P

What, you still can't see him?? Okay, I'll give you a hint. Alvin. (He's the fat guy at the extreme left covering his face with his hands)



Okay, on to school day.

First paper was Geography Paper 1, but yet, for some reason, Larry didn't know and came in the morning, rofl. He didn't take Geography by the way, so he had to stay in the canteen for two hours for the Geography paper to end and for the A. Maths paper to start. XD

Geography Paper 1 was easy, despite the fact that the only chapter I read in the textbook was the one on maps, lol. And why is it easy? One, I don't care about Geography. Two, I don't care about preliminaries. Three, with me sleeping during Geography lessons, the Geography teacher cannot really fault me for being bad at Geography, right? Those three reasons made the paper extremely easy. XD

So yeah, I did it leisurely and relaxedly. I don't care what answer I write, I don't care how I get my answer, I don't care whether my answer is wrong, all I want to do is to complete my Geography paper. XD Out of the forty questions, I completely didn't understand two of them, lol. Confusing terms I've never come across before. Guess what I did? Made use of the calculator's random function. :O When utilized, the calculator randomly generates a three-digit decimal, and I'll use the last number to determine what I wrote for my answer. If it is even, I'll write A or B, and if it is odd, I'll write C or D. Then, for the next round, if it is even, I'll write A or C, and if it is odd, I'll write B or D. There, all done. :D Well, c'mon, give me a break, I DO have a probability of 25% of getting each of those two questions correct, right?? Furthermore, it saves me from having a headache. ("Liek omg, how do you do this question?? How do you do this question?? How do you do this question?? How do you do this question?? How do you do this question?? ...My head is frying... X("), and it saves my time as well. :D

But so what does saving time matters in an examination when you have a lot of free time and is too lazy and could not be bothered to check? Sigh... Don't expect me to check, heck. One, I'm too lazy. Two, I can't be bothered. Three, how do I even check the two questions in which I made use of my calculator's random function to get the answer? XD So I ended up drawing Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu at a blank space at the last page of the paper, rofl. XD I ought to re-learn how to draw Zangetsu... I'm losing touch drawing the shape of the blade... It looked like a chopper more like a 1.8m huge sword, rofl. Wanted to try and re-draw it to make it look more like the 1.8m huge and badass sword it is supposed to be, but meh, I got lazy. XD And Tensa Zangetsu... The grip looks a little weird... ah, I'll fix it someday. Wanted to draw Houzukimaru, since it's so easy to draw, but again, lazy, lol. Besides, I didn't know how to write it in kanji, lol (but now I do, "鬼灯丸" :D).

EDIT:
Got back my Geography Paper 1. Took a photo of my drawing. :P



Geography paper was finally over. Everyone started frantically revising A. Maths. Some are practicing on the questions. Others are reading their textbooks. Yet, three people are discussing about Final Fantasy. Yoshida, Vernon and me. XD Yeah, we got bored of reading our textbooks, and found ourselves unable to absorb anything, lol.

A. Maths paper was alright, nothing much to comment about it. Except I forgot how to differentiate exponential functions halfway through the exam and had to think for fifteen minutes, summoning all of my spirit force, to remember how to differentiate. -_- I hope I just don't do too bad for this paper, lol. I have a reputation to upkeep. XD

And dismissed after that, yay. Furthermore, I have no exams tomorrow, yay, so I don't have to go to school. :D :D

BANKAI!

Here Comes The Preliminaries!! VI

Yay, One Piece episode 320 is out. Rofl, I like how Kokoro tells the Straw Hats that their next destination is the Merman Island, and Sanji starts fantasizing about beautiful mermaids. Then Kokoro smiled at him, and he looked back at her, remembering that she is a mermaid.



Yeah, that's his cigarette dropping out, lmao. He then went to pound the floor in frustration, shouting, "Can't I even dream?! I am a pirate!!" Rofl! XD I think I just got a display picture and nick to use in MSN. XD

My, my, I've been sneezing non-stop the whole of today, lol. I found myself sleeping on the floor early in the morning, with only a blanket below me. I must have rolled down from my bed, lmao. XD Furthermore, it was raining during the morning, lol. Made me sneezed for one whole day. -_-

First examination today was Social Studies. Blast it, Sri Lanka came out for Source-Based Question. God damn it, I didn't bother to study about those banglas, damn it. Oh well, I made up shitty answers as I go, all the while taking my own sweet time, playing a battle in my mind where banglas fight banglas and enjoying the scene, lol. Just one question, how do they fight in the night? They can't see their enemies, they can't see their allies, they can't even see themselves! XD

My pen started to run out of ink halfway during the exam, damn it, lol. I took out the spare pens inside my pencil box, all of them pens which I used to use and which I dump into my pencil box and became lazy to ever take them out after they run out of ink, lol, so all five of the pens in my possession then has little to no ink. X( No choice, lol, I was using a pen to write five words, then switching over to another pen, writing five words, then switch to another pen, since pens replenish themselves with ink if you don't use them for a while. So somehow, I managed to finish my Social Studies exam. -_-

I sort of screwed up on the Structure Essay Questions too. Three questions, one of which I didn't even read the chapter it is about, one which I forgot, so I have no choice but to do the last one. -_- Furthermore, I couldn't really remember what the chapter is about, and the fact that my pens ran out of ink after every three words did not help much, lol, so I wrote crap for them. Oh well, who cares?

Went down alone to the bookshop to get new pens, lol. Saw a pen for eighty cents, so cheap, so I bought two, one as a spare back-up. XD

There was still some time before the Physics paper starts, so all of us were staying inside the classroom or along the corridor and doing some last-minute revision, lol. I was revising with Yoshida, Vernon, Ephraim and Larry. Once, Ephraim asked us for the speed of gamma rays. I told him, "You run from here to there, I help you measure your speed.", my hand looking as if it is holding a stopwatch. XD

Vernon went to learn E=mc², rofl, despite it not being in the syllabus. He also went to learn shit like what numbers do the colour bands in a resistor represent, lol. Then end up not tested, lmao. XD

Didn't know why, but when the invigilator came, I couldn't stop sneezing, lol, sneezing like ten times in a row. o.O The invigilator told me, "Bless you.", and my face looked like this for five seconds or so:

Strange, the paper had many errors, lol. Did they not bother to check it? o.O The last question was divided into Either or Or, where we are supposed to only choose one question and answer it. Either was about the electron gun, which I didn't even read about (and even if I did, I wouldn't understand anyway XD), while Or was about velocity and stuff like that, so naturally I went to do Or. I finished the paper with fifteen minutes left, got bored, and went to do Either in pencil. XD

Here Comes The Preliminaries!! V

Quick blog post, I gotta rush and study for Physics, and Social Studies after that. Argh, the pressure and stress of being a student. X(

I'm thinking of completing my game of Final Fantasy XII and after that starting a new game of Final Fantasy VIII and hoping to complete it when I have free time, lmao.

I also want to try drawing Zanpakutous on the computer. Hmmm...

Today's preliminaries examination is on our Elective subject, lol. Those four students taking Literature sit at the left, the ones taking Geography in the middle and the rest taking History at the right. I got allocated the extreme right and behind seat, lol, with Vernon on my left. It was damn cool to have a freaking fan beside me. XD

The exam went all right. I almost thought I have no time left, lol. The first two Source-Based Questions posed some difficulty to me and made me think for a while, wondering how I can extract the information from there to answer my question, haha. So I let time wasted by, and before I know it, there is only half an hour left, lol, so naturally, I started panicking and rushing. Lmao.

Stupid bangla invigilator... I was finishing up my last question ("The dropping of the atomic bombs was the sole reason Japan lost World War Two." How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer.) when I realized I need one more string to tie my foolscap papers up, so I raised my hand, the teacher came and I asked for string, all while writing my conclusion on how atomic bombs are the crucial factor in causing Japan to surrender. The teacher returned with three pieces of foolscap paper. I swear I wanted to drop an atomic bomb at her freaking face.

I said louder, "String!" She went, "Huh?" I went even louder, "STRING!!" Vernon and Ephraim beside me are chuckling. And guess what? She came back with a bundle of strings. *rolls eyes* I swear it made me feel like going to Einstein and asking him if he can make me an atomic bomb.

And to top it off, I was finishing the paper, with fifteen minutes left to go. She gave me three extra pieces of foolscap paper, and I was thinking of what Zanpakutous to draw there to kill time, when she came and freaking took those pieces of paper away. -.- One atomic bomb wouldn't be enough. Give me three. NOW.

I ended up drawing a rough sketch of Tensa Zangetsu and Hyourinmaru at the back of the History paper. XD

Remember during National Day I drew a spear with the National Flag of Singapore? Bored of studying Social Studies, I went ahead and shade the flag, lol. Well, to be honest, I let Microsoft PowerPoint do the shading for me. XD So, now it looks like this.



I know that now, the shading of the flag and the shading of the spear looks odd together, lol. I'll work on shading the spear... when I feel like it. -_-

I realized that after starting to watch Bleach for so long, it feels rather weird that I still do not have a forum sig of Bleach, lol, so I got my good friend Nathan to help me make one, since he's such a professional at making them, haha. I gave him the picture which I uses as wallpaper, combined with some text, and voila! Sig looks great, right? :D



According to him, the two black borders at the top and bottom are for a "movie effect". :O

Lastly, while beginning to have dinner (I was having my dinner quite late, since I went and re-watched the episode where Ichigo masters his Hollowification, so the rest of my family are done with dinner), there was a huge fly flying around the lights, buzzing noisily. My father and I took newspapers, rolled them up into swords and started fighting against the huge evil fly, which was about 5cm in length! O.O It was a long and hard fight, as the fly kept hiding inside the lights, and if we attacked, we would smash the lights too. Did I mention that the lights were blinding me? X( That's why we shouldn't buy lights that are too strong, lmao. After ten minutes, I got mad and decided to strike it down for good. Good timing, my father whacked the lights gently, forcing the bee out, and I jumped up and just slashed at the air wildly and madly, hoping one of my swipes can hit the fly. Reminds me of Ichigo slashing wildly and madly against Byakuya's Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, lol. I'll kope (Singlish for take or steal by the way) a picture from Justin's blog.



So I went and slash the air like shit. Then the fly disappeared and we lost sight of it. We found it five seconds later (with difficulty. Freaking lights blinded us) on the floor. I managed to whack it onto the floor with my crazy slashing, lmao. To secure our victories, I took three huge directories, conveniently just in arm's reach away, and throw (yes, freaking throw) them onto the fly. Justice wins again! :D



Freaking insects should just learn their places.

Okay, I was studying Social Studies by reading my textbook, and what the fuck? This is so unfair. Before the merger of Singapore and Malaya, both sides agreed that "political parties on both sides of the causeway could continue to take part in the elections in Singapore and Malaysia. Their candidates however, must be citizens of the respective territories." So the Singapore Alliance, siding with Kuala Lumpur, came to Singapore and contested in the 1963 General Election. They got owned, didn't even win one seat. Then the textbook states that "Tunku was upset at the loss. He promised to give more attention to the SA in future elections in Singapore."

Then PAP go to Malaysia and contest in the 1964 Federal Election. And the textbook says, "The PAP's involvement in the 1964 Federal Election, however, had far-reaching effects on Singapore-Kuala Lumpur relations. Senior Alliance leaders like the Tunku and Tun Abdul Razak were very unhappy with the PAP. They were no longer as tolerant of the PAP as they were before. The Tunku voiced his displeasure: "The first sign of Singapore's attempt to have a hand in the affairs of Malaysia was in the last Federal Election when the PAP contested some of the constituencies.""

Wah lan wei, they fucking win already lor, freaking bastards. They come contest us and kena owned we diam diam. We go and win just one freaking seat, and they all buay song down there kaopei kaobu. Some more already agree that parties on both side can go and contest whatever election the party want right? Cheebye lah, kanina, unfair bastards, ask them go fuck themselves lah, cheebye. *spits*

And don't make me start up on what is after that. "Some UMNO leaders began to play on communal politics in its anti-PAP campaign. They focused on the poverty of the Singapore Malays and portrayed the PAP government's resettlement and redevelopment programmes as anti-Malay. This was to arouse the feelings of dissatisfaction among Singapore Malays towards the PAP." Then they make up one bunch of lying bullshit make the Malays not happy. What the fuck are they trying to do? Screw up Singapore's racial harmony and make the Singapore Malays overthrow the PAP and set up one little Malaysia over our island right? Ka ni na bei! Now the Prime Minister some more want us Chineses go learn Malay as third language. Wah lan eh! Oi, someone please buy a Sec 3 Social Studies textbook and give it to him, man! For god's sake, read this! "SUMNO's meeting was attended by 2,000 to 4,000 people, including 15 Alliance Members of the Parliament from the Peninsula. Syed Ja'afar Albar, UMNO's Secretary-General, was also present. His fiery speeches whipped up the angry mood of the audience. There were calls for the Prime Minister of Singapore to be arrested. Communal tensions were high." FOR FUCK'S SAKE! THEY EVEN FREAKING TRIED TO ARREST HIS (referring to the dear Prime Minister who wants us to go and learn Malay *rolls eyes*) FATHER!!

And Lee Kuan Yew said this: "...You have to solve it on the basis of giving them [the Malays] education, raising their standard of living, their earning capacity. Just giving a chap a gold coin today does not solve his problem. You give him a gold coin today, he then learns to live at a higher standard. Tomorrow, he will be looking for two gold coins from you and you are in big trouble. You better teach him how to earn a silver coin for himself and make quite sure that he understands what he has to do and you will give him the opportunities to do it." Aiya, simple lah. You give the Malays a fire, they warm for one day right? You set those buggers on fire, they warm forever. XD Lol, just a joke, no offense to Malays, kk? :P

In the Social Studies textbook, it is stated that "A famous German king, Frederick the Great, once said that "Diplomacy without military equipment is like music without instruments."" Diplomacy with military equipment... Yeah, sure, okay. Imagine you are the President of Country Y. Some guy walks up to you, carrying a freaking rifle, shakes your hands, and says, "Greetings, I am the diplomat of Country X, sent here to live in Country Y. Nice to meet you." If you didn't call your guards to arrest the man, you're either brave, or you're crazy.
