Captain's log, day 3

If the last two were bad, Maths was probably the worst one.

I think passing it would be a nice blessing for me.

>_<

Gah.

AT LEAST IT"S OVAH. BWAHAHAHA

Why is it that, everytime after an examination, everyone just can't sit still in the hall?

I mean, can't they just sit still for 5 more miserable minutes and let the teachers count the papers in peace? Why must people ask how they did, what answers they got for question 1-10. I don't mind a little question here and there, which keeps the volume down, but the constant chattering sure annoys me. The teachers are forced to issue annoucements of impending doom, threaten students, beg and cry, but most students don't care. Heck, the teacher can strip on the stage but the students will continue to talk.

And the teachers don't fare much better anyway. There are ways to get students to shut up, but threatening to hold them back isn't one of the best solutions out there. Everyone wants to go home, and holding people back is about as good as trying to start a riot.

Everyone should just shut up.

Seesh...

So, the confederations cup is finally over, with Brazil winning 4-1.

I wonder, what's the purpose of such a tournment at times. Players are dead tired from their club matches, and are now forced to play in such tournments. Instead, with the World Cup next year, I think they should just rest nicely, so that they can play the new season without much fatigue. And that isn't the only problem. Some teams have the first round of the Champion's League coming up, which starts on the 12th of july.

Which means they have barely 1 week of holiday before the season starts for them again.

Heck, even we students get 4 weeks of break, and they barely get 1 week. Sure, they are working, but don't career peeps get at least 2 weeks of holiday each year?

Holidays are an important part of everyone, because it gives them time to relax after a stressful year. With the world moving so fast these days, having just a few days to relax, stop and enjoy the sights is a luxery. This is even more so for sports people, because of the fact that they train themselves physically and mentally almost everyday.

Moreover, such events will only lead to injuries, sometimes even life threatening, or ones which could end careers. If that's the case, then the player will be at a loss, because he had to end his career early due the fact that he was representing his country, when he should be at home resting.

However, players cannot afford to stay out of such competitions. One good example of a person who will know this by now will be Ronaldo. He has requested to be left out of the Confederations Cup, allowing Adriano to replace him. Guess what? Adriano performed so well, everyone was going "Ronaldo who?" More over, the international stage is where some stars are born, and made famous. Wayne Rooney was the main buy last season after his performance in Euro 2004. If he didn't appear in Euro 2004, he could still be in Everton, or be at a club that isn't as famous as Manchester United.

Pros and cons of International Football? Heh.

Site news: I've changed the layout a bit. Added a banner which I did in like 15 minutes. It's sucky, I know, since I don't have much materials to work with. If you want to send me a banner, talk to me on MSN. And oh, it's from AMG. =D

Song of (whatever) changed to 1000 Words (FF X-2 Mix) by Noriko Matsueda, Takahito Eguchi, Jade from the Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission Original Soundtrack

Captain's log, day 2 of the common tests

Physics, as well, is screwed. But it was fun just messing around with the units to invent new formulas.

Captain's Log, day 1 of the common tests

Nothing is ever smooth sailing, as I've realised. The first common test was chemistry, and it sure was screwed. I was pretty much scrapping marks here and there, and giving up on quite a few. The biggest mistake that I've known so far is that I didn't see that the NMRs are from the Esters, which resulted in me drawing some rubbish.

Oh well.

Song of (whatever) changed to Two hearts not captured~beyond that door from Final Fantasy IX's Piano collection, by Nobuo Uematsu and Shiro Hamaguchi.

And oh, I'm taking down the tagboard for a while. The rubbish there started out funny, but since then, it's going down hill. I certainly do not need people stupid enough to pose as one of the world's favourite presidents. Thank you very much.

EDIT: It's back up, but a different design. This one does not allow me to customise the board much, but gives me much better admin features.

So, bring it, fuckers. I'll ban your ass to hell and back.

Common Tests start TOMORROW

Time to get screwed!

GTA, bad for the kids, or just an excuse by the parents?

60 minutes on CBS was taking about how a kid who went around with a heater (a gun, not one that warms you up.. >_>) and pop a few guys. The special fact about him, which differentiates him from a few thousand kids, is that he was playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas before he went shooting.

So, the flood gates are opened, all the moms and dads and their grandmothers are talking how violent games should be banned and stuff.

Blah Blah Blah.

Fine. 1 guy goes pop half the world because he played a video game, and you blame the game. What about the other 3 million suckers (including me) who has played the game, but did not shoot a cop on sight? Yeah, we play the game too! You don't see us holding AKs and shooting cars, car jacking, spray painting all over the walls.

How about those parents look deeper, and realise, that the main problem is, the upbringing of the child.

Which means it's THEIR DAMNED FAULT.

Of course, it's also something which they overlook easily.

Too easily.

But c'mon. Any kid with a decent upbringing will know that shooting people is bad. You don't need the school to teach you that, nor do you need a PS2 to tell you that. If they have bothered to bring the kid up properly, instead of going out and sleeping with their bosses every night and leaving that poor kid to his PS2 and the 16 year old Nanny who spends more time on the phone then looking at the kid, then it is your fault. Your kid turned out in a way which his main form of education came from his PS2. If the parents had bothered to spend more time with the kid, they will tell him that these things are wrong. And in turn, the kid won't pop anyone he sees.

But really, are video games the source of teenage violence?

Everytime a violent game (famous ones, to note), some one will complain about it. Quake series, Doom 3, Half Life, Grand Theft Auto, the list goes on. However, most of these games give you the option to kill the people. Or, you have to kill people to survive. For example, Half Life requires you to kill Aliens, but when it comes to attacking the scientists, you are not required to kill them. More over, in Half Life 2, only those people which you should not kill cannot be killed (without cheats). Your gun simply misses them. Same goes for Grand Theft Auto. Does it tell you to run over the poor bugger? No. But it's there. You can use it if you want. And the same goes for many other games. You don't have to kill innocent people if you don't want to.

Except maybe people want to. People like violence. Hell, I like violence, but only when it's in the screens. People do know that there is a difference from real life and what they see in the screen. Sure, one out of a million will be a total moron who don't know that, but 999999 out of a million will know that.

As I've said this is just for parents to cover up what their carelessness, their inability to teach their child properly.

Heck, it's because many more have to deal with "pong" and "tetris" back at their days. hey are simply jealous of the games in the market these days, but they can't buy it since they won't have time to play it. You know, hookers require a lot of time....

But here's another interesting fact: Many people have said that the main reason why San Andreas got so much "attention" was because the main character was black. Come to think of it...yeah. GTA3 and GTA:VC didn't get this bad. Then again, maybe it's because no one killed someone due to GTA.

We have learned this in GP, and many teachers are pretty much against violence. I was pretty much ready to write a crap essay about how violent TV cannot cause violent youths, but the sad thing was that it came out in promos or something, something which I can't screw around with.

So anyway, I'm always pissed when people cover their own ass with something. There will always be people who will blame violence on something. Last time, it was due to TV, cowboys and all that. Now, it's games. What's next?

Then again, if Pong and tetris can make you go nuts, as what a science research has said, anything can happen.

Bleep bloop bleep.

Problems with the tag board, do we all have?

It seems like it isn't just me having rubbish thrown all over the tag-board.

Yuk is having trouble as well.

Well well. Amusing. So that's probably how the person knew my name, not because he had an iq of over 120, but because he clicked a link labeled "yatchun". So, he put 2 and 2 together, and somehow got 4 and a half.

So, someone decided to spam Yuk's board as well?

Well, these poor mother****ers (sorry, too much GTA:SA) have nothing to do in their own spare time and have to spam up people's tagboard. Well, it's sad.

Almost as sad as the "Du the Dudek"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/photo_galleries/4583457.stm

My faith for humanity has fallen to yet another all time low.

And, the Straits Times doesn't help. Digital Life has told the world how you can't be sued for spewing alot of rubbish on the blog. So, 05S13. Guess what? YOU CAN'T SUE YUK. SUCKS TO BE YOU. HAHA.

Yes, digital life has wrote that it is very difficult to sue someone for what they write on the blog, unless it ruins a person's reputation. Saying "John is a ****er", with the *s removed to be the F-word, can't get you sued. How lovely. Saying someone is a bastard when he isn't is though.

Gotta love the law.

Or maybe all people have to do is to sue them in America, where you can go to the courts for anything under the sun, as long as you have the cash. LoL.

But still, what is the world coming to? People actually finding sick pleasure in watching other's discomfort, or watching them in pain. Heck, even I have joined in the fun by watching Max X every wednesday. But there are so many shows around which focus on people getting beat up, seeing them in pain. Shows which actually get famous, like Fear Factor or Punk'D, where viewers watch other people suffering, and laugh about it.

And the other is where they use the net by swearing on every forum/tag board they see. What's the fun in that? I don't know, but perhaps they do. This is also why I don't link to other blogs, partly because I'm too damn lazy and I can't be bothered, and partly because if I'm going to get screwed, my friends are not going down as well.

So, these bunch of cowards are too afraid to come up and speak up, but prefer to use tagboards to mess around.

I guess that's what they enjoy. >_>

Happy birthday Fengzhi! Too bad I can't go for the party due to exams, but I guess Xin Lan got her revenge? :D All the best for the A levels!

Song of (whatever) changed to New Journey by Motoi Sakuraba, from Beyond the Beyond Original Game Soundtrack. A pretty decent soundtrack. I chose this one because it suddenly hit me while I was trying to do some physics. I knew that the soundtrack was rather impressive, but I was not prepared for such quality of music.

Equality between sexes?

Oh well. Some competitions are giving out equal prizes for both sexes, when it isn't in the past.

So, people have been asking if men and women can be treated equally.

Personally for me, yes, in some aspects. But no, in quite a few aspects as well.

Well, if women want equality, how about changing the law first? In many countries, the law protects the women. All that no sex below 16 years old, giving oral sex will mean that the guy gets a life jail term while the girl get away scot free.

So, if the women wants the world to be equal to them, how about getting rid of these laws?

Seriously, these laws were "made" to protect women. However, in the world today, I think we men need some protection as well. The law is seriously biased against us. A women can rape a man, but the penalty is much lower compared to that of a man. Sure, you can talk that the guy is "enjoying" the rape if he got an erection. Then again, there are ways to "obtain" an erection. It's just like a woman getting wet. There are ways to do it, if you know how ice cubes it the way to go~). Heck, even Patricia, my GP tutor last year, has said that (something along the lines of) "men are more sexually active then women, and hence they can rape women. More over, men are more stronger then women, and can easily overpower them"

Umm...

Welcome to 2005 (or 2004 last year...lol). There are women bodybuilders who can pick me up and snap me like a twig. Heck, that's not even it. With all sorts of gadgets a women has access to, tings like Stunners, Mace and all that, she can easily knock out a guy, tie him up (use cuffs...ooh), then do whatever she wants with him. So, is it only us guys who are strong now? And, as for the fact that "men are more sexually active", I don't know if I should even talk about that. Alright, maybe I should. Here's a question: Why are there so many damned toys for women in those sex shops? High speed Dildos, double headed Dildos. The list goes on. For men, the only thing we have is a sex doll. And that, don't come cheap. So, here we are, women with plenty of selection of sex toys, while we men only have 1 type.

Who's the sexually active one now?

Also, with the recent news, it is women who get into the spotlight for raping men. Not the other way round. Sure, there are probably men raping women, but the other way round? It just shows that women have the ability, and can, rape us.

Let's get rid of sex and talk about something else.

Like say, punishments. Women don't get caned in Singapore (IIRC...), while men get the lovely rattan for quite a few offenses. Like what Sunday Times said today, if it was a guy who tossed the dead baby down a chute, he could be charged for murder(death), or man-slaughter(life) at the very list, while the women can be charged with infantcide, which carries a jail term. The reason given is because "women will undergo stress" and that crap. Probably true, but is it true for all? And are you telling me that we men don't get such stress when we kill our own child?

Give me a break.

Back to sex, and if you are a women, and you want to get a man out of your way, the easiest way is to give him a blow-job. Then, blow it on him (no pun intended..), and see him go to jail for a while while you occupy his position at the office. Simple, isn't it? Yeah, sure, you will get all that bad name and stuff, but hey, it can happen. Heck, given in my position, I would go for "bad name and a $10k job", then a "life behind bars with free food and lodging". At least you have freedom. That's the lovely part of the law. Even if you screw around, you don't get charged. But a married men who screws around will get screwed, legally.

Interestingly, while gay sex is considered "unnatural sex", which can see you doing hard time, lesbian sex is not considered "unnatural sex". Funny, eh? The last time I checked, the meaning of the word "gay" is Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex. So, why isn't it considered "unnatural sex" as well? Heck, it's actually legal for a women to flash us. Sure, some guys will like it, but for me, I will probably run away screaming in horror.

And here's what everyone is talking about: If the women want equalty, they will have to do what we men are doing: NS. Sure, many girls have said that "We can do it! Bring it!" Then again, there are some girls I know which are afraid of the sun, some are afraid of the heat, and many more hate PE, and fail NAPFA. Sure, there are many who got Gold, but are women ready to undergo such training?

Perhaps not.

And here's another case: If the world is equal, is there such a thing as a "gentleman", and a "lady"? Must we guys always open car doors for the girls, open the doors for them, pull the chairfor them...blah blah blah. If it's equal, will girls do the same? Will they carry what we guys shop? Are they ready to handle it? If they want equality, the lines of being a "gentleman" and a "lady" must go. You can't have equality, and then ask for some allowances to be given. It would be violating the "equality" law. or example, 1+1 = 2. You can't go 1+1 = 3. The equal sign won't work then.

But of course, there are some things which I believe should be equal. For example, women should be allowed to drive, to drink and to have their own freedom. There are countries who don't even give these to their country's women. It's just wrong. Sure, the world isn't ready for equality of the sexes yet, but we can take things slowly. Yes, as women has always said, we men have been controlling the world for a long time. But then, why did women wait so long to rebel, in any case. Sure, according to GP once again, they don't know they can rebel. Wait a minute, women in 1660s and 1990s are the same ones right? Same build, a generally similar mind, yet why are they so different now? Did god decide to include common sense or add in some special intelligence to women in the late 1900s?

I think not.

Still, I belive that the world is not ready for equality. Women are simply not ready to make some sacrifices, as do men not being willing to give up what they control.

Public Groping, is that really a problem?

Man, I love Sunday Times...there's just so much rubbish to talk about...

Seriously, if you are irked people, look away. Duh. It's called "public". They can do what they like, and you can do it too.

But what's this big fuss? So far, the ones that I see are the old ones who think this is 1960s.

Dude, grow up!

The society is much more open now. Kissing each other on the lips isn't that bad now (although personally, I frown on it, but I don't exactly mind it). Yeah, you are irked, and there are many things which irk me, things like what's said on your shirt, and stuff.

So what am I supposed to do when I see something I don't like on your shirt? Cry?

No I don't. I just look away. It's just like those couples who do their stuff when they have 2 seconds to spare on the escalator. I just look away. I don't break down and cry and stuff.

As for movies, your eyes should be on the screen, and not on what the couple in front of you is doing. If they decide to hump each other, the most you can do is to ask for help if you really can't take it anymore because they can't do sex worth nuts. (Heck, just film it down and blackmail them or something. Baka...=D). Heck, holding hands and stuff are so yesteryear (the coolest word to use on the newspaper these days, for some reason. At least it isn't the phrase "it's so good, it's better than sex!" which appeared quite a few times a few years back...>_>). They don't mind people seeing them french kiss. The person who should be irked out should be THEM, and not YOU. They are doing it, and all you need to do is watch to get irked. LOOK AWAY, and they arn't there anymore! Simple!

People these days want to send the message "We love each other, and we are not afraid to show it". It's the new generation, and while that is somewhat true, I don't think it's "uncool to be not so open". Personally, I'm never a guy who likes being too open, although I don't mind it. There are things which I don't like, but at the same time, I don't mind it. Something like a neutral stand point. If my girlfriend wants me to kiss her in public, I don't mind doing it. She wants it, so I pretty much don't mind giving one. However, if she isn't asking, I won't do it, because I don't like it. Get it?

No?

Good.

xXx-*/Love is bLiNd/*-xXx

As what many people say/blog/msn nicked/whatever....

Or something like that.

Man, I just LOVE those stupid things they put around the words they want to say sometimes. I can't help XDing when I typed that...all the xXx and the *xX* and stuff. Amusing forms of ASCII.

People say that love is blind. You know the real one is here when he/she/it comes by. Your heart will know it, your body knows it, and oxygen molecules around you know it. Even if that guy is a total retard, weighing 500kg, you will still love him to hell and back.

Right?

Heh...

Yeah...right....

Seriously. How the heck do you like a guy if you are blind? Alright, I'm being literal here, but c'mon, is love truely blind? Sure, you may have this certain feeling for a person which you hate most, which you would probably translate it as "Love". But think about something: 10 years down the road, would the feelings be the same? Be honest, damnit. Don't go "OF COURSE! It's love!".

Seriously, think.

To love someone, you have to see what the person truely is. Remember, it (lazy to type the he/she parts) can act super cool, super macho, super sweet, uber whatever in front of you. However, turn your back, and he goes crushing snails for kicks. These kind of moronic actions must be seen to be believed.

Seriously, I have always thought that people who believe in "love is blind" beind kinda superficial. I mean, isn't that like almost something that is as true as "love at first sight"? Yeah, what you feel about that person might be so called "love", but reach down lower and you realise that it could just have been something else. Pity, or something. I don't know, nor do I care, since it's your problem in any case.

And while we are at it: "Love at first sight" is somewhat worse. How can you love a person immediately after seeing the person? Don't you want to see how the person is like, his character, his attributes, and his stat points?

At least talk to the person to know him better. Such decisions should be made only when you are ready. "OMFG, that girl = chio! Me so in love" only shows what kind of superficial person you are. Remember, beauty is only skin deep.

Back on topic, as I've said, love can't be blind. You have to like a person because of something he does. Perhaps it's kind, or something, it's his actions which make you have feelings for it. Again, you need to see the ugly side of him to know whether you want to spend your entire life with the person.

Then again, there are people who goes for "stand-ins". Like those part-time job people filling in. Their "I love you" has been heard by more then 10 people. Seriously, these are those which I kinda dislike. Watch before you move, damnit. Don't get any tom dick or harry, before realising that it isn't the one for you.

This is why I'm afraid of getting a relationship. The fact that some people change. You have to look closely before you decide on the person. I mean, it's just like our lifestyle. At 10, you like Lego, at 14, you like sea-sports, at 20, you like Rock climbing. What we want changes all the time. It's just like our lives as well. Counter-strike who? Ronaldo who? Steven Gerald was a liverpool player?

Yet, it's with our eyes that we can see these changes. For me, at least, my heart won't tell me whether the person is changing. Heck, my heart can't think worth nuts but pump away like a mad sex machine. It's the brain that gives such funny feelings. I've always wondered why humans go "My heart is crying for j00.." or "My heart sings its love to you..."

Er..

No.

Then again, love is represented by the famous <3. For some reason, that's the heart, although the heart looks only fractionally like that. Then again, it would be wierd to say "My brain sings its love to you".

Then again, perhaps I'm not used to it. If it was used before, then maybe it won't feel so wierd.

Ah well. We humans sure are a complicated species. We say what isn't true all the time.

Love is blind?

Yeah right.

One more week to go!

How time flies...

Oh well. Time to do more work.

T_T

Song of (whatever) changed to June Bride -Anata Shika Mienai-, by Yuuka Saegusa. It's the 21st ending theme for Detective Conan. Yes, 21st....at over 400 anime episodes...

Oh well. Hope that it ends soon. It's getting pretty draggy at times. I just hate the way some companies try to drag a series to earn more money. Heck, even bleach is moving much more slowly now. Before, it could cover over 15 manga chapters in 1 episode, but now, it can barely cover 5 chapters.

>_>

Stevie G to Chelski?

MUHAAHAHAHA

Damnit, battlefield 2 owns. After discovering the secret to landing airplanes and helis, it's probably one of the better FPS I've seen in a while. The commander post allows you to either screw around, and hence screw your entire team up, or to gel your team together. The bad thing is that sometimes, no one listens to your orders..LoL. Tell them to go Defend middle base, they rush off to cap the Con Site.. >_>

Oh well. But the thing about commanders is the ability to Nuke those damned snipers from their nest, scan enemies, and probably the most important of all: maphack. You basically know where each and every enemy is, and you can warn your team about them. Idiot on the roof top? Tell your heli driver about it, and he will nuke it to hell. :D Some idiot trying to backstab your squad? Warn the squad, and he will walk right into a C4.

Boom.
--

Sigh.

The team didn't win the IJOC title.

Oh well.

I know they did their best. As long as they did their best, I'm sure they can be proud of what they did. No use brooding over what happened, which wrong move which you would not have done had you had more caffine in your system.

Let's just train the juniors, and make sure, they win it next year! :D

Damned Liverpool....

How the heck did they manage to get into the Champions League, even though Real Madrid didn't?

Oh well, they are part of that group which features a bunch of elite clubs, and also, a few those in the UEFA council are liverpool fans. I guess that makes all the difference.

I mean, c'mon, must a champion play to make a tournament a "tournament"? If that's the case, the UEFA cup isn't a tournament anymore. It's just another playground, since quite a few of the UEFA cup winners (Valencia and Porto, at the very least) will play in the champions leage in the next season.

Also, isn't it more fun to see a different team lift the trophy? What's the point to see the same team lift the damned cup year after year?

But that isn't the case. What I'm wondering, is how the heck Liverpool can get in, when Real Madrid is forced out, and the Spanish FA is forced to kick Zaragota out instead. The results are obvious: Zaragota screwed up that year, and got relegated the next. The amount of money made in the champion's league is obviously important. Not only that, the fact that Liverpool is allowed to defend their title, also mean that some poor team will be kicked out. Also, the schedule will be totally screwed, thanks to them. So, I had never liked the idea of Liverpool getting into the Champion's League, and I still do. They didn't qualify. Nuff said. It's like the Olympics, you don't qualify? Don't play. Simple. Heck, if Brazil is forced to qualify, why can liverpool waltz into the champion's league?

Oh well.

That means England has 8 teams (4 Champion's League, 3 UEFA cup, and Liverpool being the extra team that sits no where) in Europe next season. Too bad Man City isn't in G11, or however they call it, or they will be able to take Liverpool's vacant seat in the UEFA cup.

However, it would be amusing to see what would have had happened if Liverpool is rejected, as Real Madrid was. Everton will protest like there's no tomorrow if their neighbours are allowed to play at their own expense. After all, it is thanks to Liverpool who screwed Everton's Winner's Cup chances thanks to their lovely fans. Many have said that it is thanks to Everton missing out on the Winner's Cup, as to the decline in the late 1980s, and the whole of the 1990s.

In fact, there are people who doubt Everton's ability in Champion's League. Just because Liverpool has more stars, does not mean that Liverpool > Everton. After all, it is those wins over teams which Liverpool lost and drew with, did Everton gain their spot. If liverpool cannot win against these "lowly teams which Everton beat", how can they win against giants like Bayern, AC, and so on? Sure, they won them this season, but can they do so again next season?

The wait will be interesting, especially since Liverpool has to play from the very bottom. =D

Hmm, the latest craze around is this "laminating" of your handphone/MP3 player/Laptop/pillow. Interesting. However, one person said that the main purpose is to keep herself unique...

Hmm..

>_>

<_<

Seriously, $22 or something to make yourself unique? A phone, is a phone. I don't know how you view people, but I don't view people by how their handphone is, how new their MP3 player is, or how their laptop isn't the good old black coloured. That's just going overboard. Are you the only one who have thought of this idea? What if someone appears with the same design or something? Spend another $22? Seesh.

If you want to be unique, make your own handphone or something. You are using the ones which probably ever 1 in 4 people have, because it was on offer at that time. There's no use covering what's on top, becase what's below, is the same thing!

Such things actually show someone's character.

Beauty is only skin deep

LoL

Then again, I may get one of these wraps myself, since they can make my mp3 player scratch proof. I really would like that, since I do love my MP3 player very much.

Then again...it coems with a nice carry bag.

So...

No.

Problems with the Tag-board, do we have?

Oh well, seems like someone does not like me. =D

Congrats on discovering my name, since I don't really post it here. So, either you are exceptionally clever since there is only 1 way to discover my name on this blog, or you know me somehow.

However, I have to say that I'm disappointed by his lack of intelligence. I, for one, never types things without Capitalising something, such as my name, and stuff. And also, my name has a space in-between the two words. While I applaude his intelligence for knowing my name, I am deeply saddened to see that he/she/it cannot progress any further.

Oh well, try harder next time. And oh, fuck off isn't that bad. And "I suck big time" is a phrase I seldom use, since I never liked the words big time. If you want to be me, which you will probably never can due to your low level of intelligence, copy wholesale. Doing it half way will only show your stupidity, and pretty much amuses me. XD

So yes, thanks for the entertainment.

Just that if it goes on to become stupid and anoying, the tag-board will go. Simple. I never needed one, but added one since Alice told me to get one.

XD

Tomorrow is the IJOC....

Go guys! I know you guys can make it! Take a break tonight, last minute working on the boards won't work, ever. The stress level must be somewhat crazy for you guys, since you guys have to mop up on the spillage last year. I seriously don't fancy being you guys.

Just keep this in mind: Ignore the stress. It's no use telling yourself to win. You are just going to breakdown, hide in some corner, and weep uncontrollablely.

Stay cool, stay focused. Always learn to stay calm. Think not about yourself, but about the team. If you screw up, the team will screw up.

So don't screw up. Don't fall to the pressure. You guys are made of much stronger material than this.

All the best!

Song of (whatever) changed to Never Meant to Belong by Shiro Sagisu, from the Bleach OST. =D

Is that a squid...or a fish...?

XD

Ron's birthday today, which also meant bleach rom 9-1pm.

But that isn't it.

The main thing was heading for Sakae Sushi at the airport. A much more quieter place then probably much others.

My stomach hurts after that...feast.

But the fun thing was, one of Ron's friend (justin, I think), trying to eat a Iki or whatever it's called. It's white and probably tasteless.

Well, his was Contaminated or something, since his produced water when mine didn't. The result was him being sick or something, while everyone made fun of him by eating one and not having any problems. So, that poor bugger was forced to eat Wasabi. =D

The worse thing was...he thought it was a fish, when it was a squid! XD. How can a fish have such hard flesh..? >_>

Ron's friends got him a book, titled something along the lines of "What to do if you are getting screwed on a date/getting screwed by your loved ones" or something along the lines. It was basically sexual education to a certain extent. If only the schools had given each of us one copy each, I think I, for one, will definately head to CME every week. Heck, I would probably request for more CME lessons!

Let's face it. CME is boring. We know everything. If only something such as this is added, it actually gives us valuable knowledge! Like..erm..say...."How to remove a bra with one hand". C'mon, that >>>>>>>>>>>>> why you should not go so quickly..blah blah blah. Heck, that book included a chapter on having an affair without getting caught, and another on how to have sex in cramped areas, such as the airplane toilets (To ensure that it won't be too time consuming, do not wear underwear<--XD). It was probably the most enlightening day of my life, sex wise. Too bad schools don't teach this kind of stuff, prefering to teach the same damned thing from primary 1 to JC 2. We don't need to know all that crap about "How to maintain a good relationship" by reading some retarded story, which actually IS retarded. We need to know how to produce a fake orgasm! Better yet, DETECT a fake orgasm! That's the critical thing. If you know he/she is faking it, you are doing it wrong. Go watch some porn or something to correct yourself.

Oh well.

Happy Birthday Ron! All the best for the year ahead! :D

And sorry we didn't get you the present *glares at the energy*. We give it to you on the 7th of December *glares at Rukia fan-boy*

My thumb...aww..

Damned X-square.

Damned Football street, or whatever that game is called.

I remember how I could not use my left thumb to even press the buttons on my cell for an SMS...

That game sure is tough...

But Lan shops are going to hell! Go Xbox areas! =D

So, some of you (*waves at the Chess Club Ex-Co*) should have obtained my message asking what the heck is your favourite drink.

=D

It sure was funny, judging from some of your responses, especially after that ..stunt, the girls pulled, where you compare a person to a drink (a person can be drunk? And what happened to fruit punch?), and it shows what you see of the person. It was...kinda funny. But they sure was noisy at that time. LoL.

So, I got bored yesterday night, and decided to mess around. I just wanted to see how many would think that such a simple message, would have a hidden meaning behind it. How many of them would be on their guard, and how many of them won't give a shit about anything.

My lovely president, Jason, obviously is the one which falls in the latter category. Not surprising, I expected that fully from him.

However, the others, were careful not to fall into a kind of trap which the falcon has planned. I thought Leong was somewhat the same as Jason, as she didn't bother asking. Then, perhaps common sense, or intelligence, or something, returned, making her ask me what I was asking for, something which I expected. Keith and Lan also did the same, but unlike Leong whose common sense seemed to have taken a few hour worth of holiday, or perhaps she's just a little groogy due to the sleep (probably the for- I mean, the latter. =D), they asked first, before giving me the answer.

However, it is funny, as I tried to tell them it is nothing serious, especially Keith, who kept thinking something was up when there was absolutely nothing. =D

"Once Bitten, Twice Shy"

XD

But seriously, why are they so cautious? I didn't tell them that it's a game, nor did I tell them anything, just "What is your favourite drink?". When asked why, I replied "Just wondering", or something. Seriously, I think my intentions have been misinterpreted! Perhaps they don't trust me? T______T Perhaps they think I am evil? Perhaps I gave them the impression that I can (*gasp*) be up to no good?

T____T

LoL

I think I can actually.... XD

But still, it was fun.

And also, it does serve a...higher, purpose If any of you are somehow, reading this, then....

XD

Just wait till school reopens. It should be fun. XD

BBQ party at my place? WTF?

After living in the Valley (Charlton's own home ground..lol) for around 10 years, I had never tried having a BBQ at the valley, usually heading to Pasir Ris park or something.

Last friday, I tried it.

It was...

Fun. ^_^

Seriously, with a tap right beside the pit, you can't go wrong, where unlike Pasir Ris park, you need to head to the sea to wash your hands if you are too damn lazy to head to the toilet located 200m away. My house was pretty much used as an outpost, but it's alright.

What pissed me off a little was the damned council members. We started throwing water bombs around for fun, and it was fun. However, the council members just could not stand the sight of 18 year olds enjoying themselves, as they themselves spent their childhood in some sweat shop, decided to stop us.

Oh well.

_|_ to them.

But still, the main attraction of the night was...

KHAI WAN!

The poor bugger decided, for some unknown reason, to drink a full cup of vodka in one gulp or something. Heck, even though I pride myself in the ability to drink a bit more then others, I don't think I will be able take THAT.

So, the result is the poor guy lying on the floor for two whole hours or something, missing out the entire party.

Man, I don't fancy that hangover he had.....

Oh well. All in all, it was fun. I enjoyed it.

Music piracy, our fault, or the company's fault?

An article in the Sunday Times today showed that you can't buy music online via the Itunes, since it does not support the local credit card companies. Worse yet, the other sites which has support for local credit card allows people to download songs in a wma format, one which cannot be read by the Ipod.

So, is it our fault that everyone uses Kazaa (outdated, BTW. Kazaa sucks thanks to RIAA), Morpheus, Limewire and BitTorrent?

Yeah, it probably is, but then again, the music companies, and those who sell CDs should take a bit of blame as well.

Let's see..HMV. The place to get Anime music/GameOSTs since most other places don't stock them, sells 2 CDs at an insane price of $60. I remember Popular having the Final Fantasy X CDs (4 CDs) for a little under $30 for some reason. I gladly snapped up the FFX OST in popular, while placing the FF Antalogy back into it's place in HMV. Since there isn't much choice left, I had to turn to other means, namely using my BitTorrent Credit Card to buy the music.

And it isn't just the prices. Some people buy CDs just for a single song or something, which, as many has said, is a waste of money. It wastes space, and collects dust after a while. So why bother? Just download that one song which you feel that is nice, and everything is cool. No need to waste space, no need to spend money.

So, what about those sites which allow you to buy songs? I remember thebrain's(or some other LTU member) MSN nick which pretty much was swearing at Napster or something, since there are plenty of limits, such as the inability to transfer the mp3 through too many computers and that crap. Buying a song that has too many limits..? What's the point of even buying in that case? Just download it, since the companies are being a little dumb.

So, is it really our fault that the CD sales are going down? Those companies blame Internet, and our current generation, but why don't they look at themselves? Pricing CDs at insane prices, artists forced to make huge albums when all we need is one miserable song from them, and to produce so much "The VERY VERY ABSOLUTELY SUPER VERY BEST of 2005", when we already have the songs/CDs. Nobody buys those! >_>

It isn't just our fault. We, as consumers, have been pushed and bullied by these recording companies since the 1970s. The internet has given us a source of hope, a gateway away from the Tyranny of these devils. They were the ones who pushed us this far, so, they should be the ones to look at first.

After all, look at yourself before pointing the finger at someone else.

Guild wars!

My holidays thus far...

GW...GW..GW...Winning Eleven 8 a bit, then GW..GW..GW...

Song of (whatever) changed to Houki Boshi, by Younha, which also happens to be Bleach's 3rd ending theme. The single itself is pretty decent.
