Decision making: PS3, XBOX360, DSLR, or DESKTOP
written at 11:53 AM, 11/26/09 GRAPHICS: PS3 and XBOX360 honestly speaking now are more or less neck in neck in game graphics, well at least as far as still images are concerned. XBOX360 has better lighting than PS3, while PS3 has better textures than XBOX360. Many times, PS3 game graphics appear washed out and low contrast in comparison to the XBOX360's. Textures on the other hand appear unrealistic in the XBOX360, while the PS3 offers richer textures and more intricate details on 3D models. INTERESTINGLY! (Creds Azmi) PS3 now uses Bluray. You know what that means? Bluray + Plasma HDTV = AWESOME + OWN XBOX360! Bluray discs hold up to 54 gigabytes of information, as opposed to inferior DVD's that hold up to 9 gigabytes only. Extra space means that there's more room for more data to code for better 3D models and animation. So the only limit is the processing power of the console. SUSTAINABILITY: Yeah when you buy something, you always want to know how long it can last you. So, first of all, the XBOX360. According to American gamers/game developers, XBOX360 generally has a larger selection of games and thus is a better choice. This is true in that perhaps not many games originated from PS3 do not spark much interest in the western gaming community, but game developers aim to expand their market, so they need to make their games compatible with other gaming consoles. Several games like Assassin's Creed 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have been made available on both XBOX360 and PS3 consoles. So game choice shouldn't really be much of a problem. Besides, popular games always manage to reach other consoles. I hear Halo is going to appear on PS3 next year. L4D2 too. A major plus on PS3's side is that it has FREE online play! XBOX360 - 50 bucks a year subscription. That's just bullshit if you ask me. But what's a gaming console if you have no one to play with? Exactly. It's like a lolipop, you only use it once. Was going to use a cruder comparison, but I'll leave the imagination up to you! HAHA YES I DID IT WITHOUT WRITING ANYTHING! HAHAHAHAAHAHA. HOWEVER. As good as the PS3 sounds now, the downside is that to get all the STUPENDOUS graphics out of the PS3, everything's gotta be original because of the bluray. That means I'll have invest in games 60 dollars or more a piece (the good games), while XBOX360 users may want to modd their console to be compatible with pirated games. It all goes down to how much you're willing to spend to get awesome graphics. Suddenly, 50 dollars a year for internet gameplay for only slightly less amazing graphics sounds better than blowing all you cash on bluray games. Also I'm certain that a modded XBOX360 is completely able online gameplay (I have a friend who has a modded XBOX360 console playing live), but I'm not entirely sure if a modded PS3 can do the same, let alone if it can be modded at all. So in terms of sustainability, I think XBOX360 wins, if you want to settle for less graphics, but maximize and stretch zeh moneh in deh pocket. NEW CONSOLES COMING UP?!!!?!?!: If you think of it that way, buying either console doesn't seem like a good idea, since it's already been over 4 years since the release of XBOX360 and 3 years for PS3. Which in terms of tech advancements in GAMING FRICKING TECHNOLOGY COMPLETELY ANCIENT. I also read an article online, saying that Microsoft's new gaming console is only going to be released when the use of HDTVs become more widespread. Which I assume is actually pretty soon. In this respect, it's really not a good idea to invest in any gaming console now and just watch for now. With 900 dollars safely in my pockets, I should be ready to pounce on any new console that comes out. DSLR: Weeeeeeellll. I have so much to say, yet I'd rather keep it to myself, because it's pretty much all bitchin' and not much smart stuff going on. No, no DSLR. DESKTOP: A new desktop sounds like a good idea for me right about now, but I'm also pretty sure that the parents won't be so happy about it. I just got this bluddy laptop fixed a while ago and now I want a new desktop? Well they SAID I could do anything with my hard earned cash. And it's not as if I'm going out to buy myself a hooker or anything. (OR AM I?!) Yeah not so much. If they're not going to let my inner paikia take over me, at least let me satisfy my geeky cravings. Yeah but honestly, this PC sucks balls. I expected for a moment the lap top to just blow up in my face or electrocute me. But it was a terrible decision to buy this hunk'o'junk. Yeah yeah the monitor can spin 180 degrees. SO WHAT?! Can it run Civilisation 4 properly? NOOOO! Can it run Black and White 2 without frying the motherboard? NO! Can it run WC3 in 800X600 without lagging?
We all try to convince/lie/"induce happiness" to ourselves.
written at 7:39 PM, 11/25/09 I also think people judge how strong someone is by looks. Which is wrong because I'm no wear near XXXXXL but I'm pretty strong if I say so myself. Yes I'm self-conscious about that. Today I also realised that many adults I observed in Marche do not have the initiative I expected them to have. Or maybe it was because of the contrast to the productivity of a bunch of people who already know each other and are able to better communicate. I would also associate the productivity to a collective idea or subconscious kind of "need", that characterizes Victorians. It sticks. I'm surprised. I think "work minimum for maximum reward" is a quality shared by many new workers in Marche. I'm being highly specific so as to not generalize with other workers I have not yet seen. I hope this proves to be untrue, but I doubt it. I never like people to speak ill of me behind my back. No one does. Except maybe Paris Hilton. Yeah especially if those people are not in the same plane of which you stand. HAHA I don't think everyone understands that. I mean, if two people are like friends, or in the same level or like in the same "caste/class/status" then it's probably okay loh. For me anyways. HAHAHA Monday was awesome. Primary school dudes and myself went to play badminton together. It was a strange feeling to see them again. Oh and saying that "people change" isn't necessarily true. Well, maybe not for that span of time, but definitely not much has changed. Oh man then right after that, I went back home to my computer and started chatting with Victoria dudes, and we somehow or rather decided to spend our night at the airport after sending off Ziyad (who went to Egypt). It was kinda cool, dude. We saw activity in the airport slowly seep away as night drew closer. HAHA we saw this sign in the Popeye's store saying, "No studying or card/board games..." which looked like "... or cardboard games..." which is ridiculous. Reminds me of today in Marche. I fell a little ill after that night. The airport is frickin' cold. Man I still don't know what to do with 900 dollars. Car? Hahaha. LOL I just had dinner before writing this post, and my sis invited me to join her in getting our hair done at a Tony and Guy training salon or something like that. She asked when my off day was and then do you know what I had to say to her?! "Sorry, I'll have to check with my supervisor." Weird. Don't you love it when your MP3 player randoms several of your favourite songs in a row? "Someday - MLTR" > "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture - Eagles"
HOLIDAYS SO FAR HAVE BEEN GREAT! HAHA.
written at 9:19 PM, 11/21/09 ANYWAYYYYY, I just completed "SPLINTER CELL: PANDORA TOMORROW" on my Xbox, completed "BATTLEZONEII: COMBAT COMMANDER" on my PC, played DotA the whole morning and finally got praised by random dudes online and earned myself some "street cred" lol. So now, I have nothing to do. Ooh! Badminton with 4J guys a couple of days back was fun. It's been long since I put my racket + back muscles + abs to good use. Yup they still hurt (except the racket, or DOES IT!). Yeah then right after that I went to get a FRICKIN JAB UP THE ASS!!1!1111!!!!! THE NEEDLE WAS LIKE. HUGE! OMG. I COULD FEEL IT GO UP TO MY NECK DUDE! WHOAAAA! Nah it was a small needle that went in my shoulder. Now I'm immune to typhoid. For three years. What was the typhoid jab for? I'm going to mars. They recently found that bacteria could survive in mars, but in one of their experiments they accidentally let lose hundreds of bacteria on mars that multiplied to become quadrillions and "asdiofj aw;eifjaew fawfew wa"illions of mutated bacteria that can bite your head off and give you typhoid. Yum. I got employed as a kinda ASTROjanitor to clean up the mess over at mars. See you in January! NEXT JANUARY HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Right. I just got a job that requires me to get a typhoid jab. But it wouldn't be interesting if I just said that, would it? Of course not. Holidays are boring. See? All the fabricated stories are so much more interesting than if I had just typed: I had a jab. It hurt. I needed the jab because it was a job requirement. I want a PS3. I think I'll get one as soon as I get my salary at the end of next month! Yumyum. Alternatively (nice word), maybe I should get a DSLR. Because I have 700 dollars Oh yeah if anyone wants do anything fun go ahead and do it! If anyone wants to do anything fun with me, you should call me and plan it before this coming Wednesday. BECAUSE WEDNESDAY ONWARDS I'M NASA'S SLAVE! I should dedicate one post to pen down what I learnt this year. Although I doubt I'd remember hahaha.
I am suddenly feeling very introspective.
written at 2:16 PM, 11/14/09 Oh man I miss it already. I just LOVE you know like discussing a game or topic or something in school and then being very amused and excited about it and then deciding that we'd kick it up a notch the next day. And seeing how I performed so far in the Big One, continuing to do that isn't really looking up. Arrgh I wish I studied harder for it. I'll take a nap and check back later to see if I feel the same.
That was so immensely cocked up.

OXYGEN LEVELS HAVE DECREASED BY ONE PERCENT!
written at 12:08 AM, 10/17/09 WikiAnswers says that 20.95% of the air we breathe is oxygen.mistupid.com says that the atmosphere is actually composed of 20.947% of Oxygen.Physlink.com says that the air is made of 20.9476% oxygen.Then you round it off and you get 21%. And somehow or rather it's one percent more than cambridge's answer. Conclusion: Too many people on earth. 2 ways about it. Support war! Or use condoms. Yeeaaaaaahhhhh. Have you ever seen the colour "SILVERY BLACK"? Because if you have then tell me because then I can confirm that I'm colourblind. As far as I can see, silver is a lighter shade of black that's shiny. So something silverish, yet black is a colour I cannot imagine. It's like the colour yeldermuinderf. You got that right it doesn't exist. I think they mean that iodine is the colour of black and have a shiny surface. Which makes them stupid. And related to my pet rock. Yes my pet rock has no brain. Or eyes.
ODST WAS FREKKIN' okay.
written at 7:30 PM, 10/9/09 Haha something funny happened just now, while I was listening to the "Treasure Planet" OST while doing homework (awesome Disney movie by the way) and doing chem homework at the same time, my sis walked in on me and laughed at me saying that I listened to this sorta thing too, and that it sounded like I was having a voyage, "A VOYAGE FOR SCIENCE!" She said in a very enthusiastic manner. You know like one of those energy drink ads? VOYAGE FOR SCIENCE WOOHOOO. AEP O levels start 2 weeks earlier than normal O level papers. So next wednesday I'll be taking my first sec 4 O level written paper. Big whoop? Already taken so many just-as-important papers.
And I thought I'd be there too.
written at 9:53 PM, 9/30/09 I watched Saving Private Ryan on youtube till late last night (slept at 2am). Totally worth it. It was simply awesome. Abstinence from all forms of games has been going well for past few days. Oh wait I played disc pool yesterday. "Here It Goes Again - OK GO" is not bad. TRUTH: Lies get you out of trouble if you tell the truth frequent enough. Would you ever run for a bus that you might miss?
Do it, Win it. GIVE IT TO ME!
written at 7:04 PM, 9/26/09 The answer's "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" by the way. If you win you must give it to me. Because I want it. And all I need is your NRIC.
I believe in Karma. (Karma: 0)
written at 7:03 PM, 9/24/09 I FREAKIN' GOT 11 POINTS MAN! THAT'S LIKE A 10 POINT IMPROVEMENT FROM MY PREVIOUS L1BEST5! I mean for someone who's gotten like 20+++ for wayyyy too long, getting 11 points is an achievement right?! YEAH. but no thanks to physics and chinese and geography...(Karma: -1000000000) I would also like to congratulate all who did desirably well for their Prelims (Karma:-999999999) To all who made significant improvement, LET'S KEEP ON PLOWING THROUGH THOSE PRACTICE PAPERS! (Karma: -999999998) The rest, who didn't cover much ground, or are dissatisfied with their grades, let's all work harder! (Karma:-999999997) Anyways, today I kinda thought I saw a little "teacher satisfaction" form a person I thought would never have any of that kind of feeling for my work, even though it lasted for maybe a split second. I managed to get like 39/70 for my chinese zuo wen, which is really a achievement for me. That sentence sounded very pathetic.
Feels like a Mammoth/Popo
written at 9:35 PM, 9/14/09 Today in my dorm room the doorbell rang. Sitting outside the door was a box labeled "A present from your friends in room 201". I opened it and a guy popped out, gave me a high five and ran off down the hallway. MLIA. ~ mylifeisaverage.com
Vague post #1: Do whatever you like!
written at 8:59 PM, 9/8/09 AAAaany way. Roosterteeth somehow manages to release webisodes of RVB regularly now. Tuesday without fail for the past 12 chapters. Yeah new one came out today. GO WATCH! Yeah totally advertising for them hahaha. I'm most confident about bio so far. I mean, I'm ONLY confident about bio so far. Yeah Prelim 2 blew up in my face as soon as I took my art paper. Geog was crap and so was SS. Emath paper one was bullsh. I might as well as have squat on top of my chem paper 2 and poop all over it. In short, my mood now is down down down down just above hell but not low enough to have space to breathe or anything or something. I'm not even sure what I'm typing now. AGH PHYSICS TOMORROW. OH GODDDDDDDDD. I WANT AN XBOX360. Why didn't halo three come out on Xbox. I mean there's like ODST and Reach coming out for halo.
OH FUCK EXAMS START TOMORROW?!
written at 10:53 AM, 9/1/09 OR Because the fuss has just escalated to a point where it seems normal for everyone to be hunched over their SS textbooks scribbling away on a piece of foolscap that looks as if it may burst into flames and melt the plastic desk right through at the intensity at which the dude is writing. Yeah okay I'm going to (try to) cram now.
What's big, red, and comes after E?
written at 9:32 PM, 8/14/09 THIS MONTH: Fell sick Ponned 5 days of school (spent the time killing things, including mushrooms.) Missed mock exams Mock exams came back to haunt me Bio, Phy, Chem relaxation package National day Watched "Up" in two dimensional 3D Spent a day out exploring Urban Textures Broke a UV filter More Mocks Bricked PSP while trying to install 5.0m33 to play MHFU (Mom walked in and I panicked and switched it off while updating) Sent it for repair about 5 minutes away via rollerblade I hope Mr. Tan fixes it well. Well. It's been a while. I thought I'd cold turkey but I was mistaken. Not doing any better in school anyway HAHAHA. AGHHHHH I WANT TO HUNT MONSTERS WITH ASHLEY AND DARYL. Munday. Going to Ion/Illuma/Orchard Central tomorrow evening. And also maybe collecting my PSP from Bing's. Lol Bing.
Do you want me to kill you?
written at 12:33 AM, 7/18/09 Why can't I find anywhere to download "Emmy The Great - Gabriel"? Stupid. You know, after some time, a conversation gets real stagnant and boring, especially when only two people are talking like on a bus or over lunch. I don't like that. What's funny is, it happened to me while I was talking to myself. Whoa. Dude. Victoriana's not happening this year. At least issue 1. I think.
UNHEARD OF: Damien is trustworthy.
written at 5:55 PM, 7/11/09 WIKIPEDIA: This week: I got stalked. (guy stalker WTF) I procrastinated. I had school. Stalked the stalker. Bullied the stalker. I then decided to beat my friends up. Stole playthings (balls, two to be exact). Ate chocolate tarts (which are awesome) from new canteen caterers. Killed people in his dreams, enjoyed it. (It's really just "people" since I don't remember what kind of people they were. Only I was in school) Killed people online. Got sent out of class. This week in a nutshell. Today I was supposed to go for photography at Clark Kueh, but I checked the camera in the morning and there was no memory card. I was passed the camera but not the CF card. Oh man should have checked before brought it home from school. Today I played games the whole day. Katy Perry rocks. One of the Boys is my favourite song from Katy Perry but it makes me question my gender.
Everytime I oversleep on the bus, there's a Subway waiting for me.
written at 10:28 PM, 6/23/09 One week holiday was a lie. Okay no, I was misinformed by a misinformed friend. Fine stupid MOE. JUST EXTEND THE HOLS ALREADY! OH and on my way home from maths tuition I saw this strange cloud formation... It was strange. There was this aura thing around it. I think it's water droplets. There was kind of a rainbow before I took the picture but I got a clear view too late. Maybe it's holy fart. If there's holy shit I don't see why there can't be holy flatulence. HAHA, "HOLY FLATULENCE!" Wlao I want school to close for one more week please. I need to finish my homework, you see. I've been studying all this while I didn't do my homework. AHHhhh I'm supremely bothered by AEP too.
ONE MORE WEEK OF NO SCHOOL!
written at 6:02 PM, 6/19/09 Another RT production. I don't know what to say except...I WANT A FRICKING DSLR THAT CAN TAKE VIDEOS!
Because mom said so.
written at 6:33 PM, 6/17/09
Which somehow I don't know why reminds me of this joke I made of myself this morning. I was sitting at the dinner table for lunch (HAHA dinner table. Lunch!), and I felt this humongaginous thing up my nose that I could feel was a piece of rice that went down (or up) the wrong pipe. I put my hand over my nose and the other hand under it and started snorting really loudly and then saying, "Agh I think there's a piece of rice up my nose." Then my younger sister who was at the other side of the table looked at me in disgust. Then the huge thing came out and I said, "Oh, it's not a piece of rice." Woo yesterday, the day before, the day before yesterday, generally the week so far I guess, has been totally completely packed with butt and thigh cramping, balls pulverizing, shutter slamming, eye scorching, feet smelling, palm sweating, pants peeing, last train catching, profanity spewing freakin' action. Woo hoo. Or was it last week? Not sure. I seem to lose track of time whenever the holidays arrive.
So that's how it is.
written at 4:31 PM, 6/13/09 Because I remember where Orchard MRT is that way. And I probably only into Orchard MRT using one entrance. And when I get out of the station using another exit, I usually end up being very confused and lost. I don't know why they name exits "A" or "B" or any other letter. Doesn't really help me much.
It's like, if you believe it's there, it's there. Like ghosts. Except these are the good ghosts. Like Guardian naked-baby angels. Okay well actually I took these to accompany the first picture to make it look like I have been real busy taking pictures. I should be doing my homework. Loool. On Wednesday Quinn took me all round the City to get nice photos. So in the end, I was real busy with my cambera! I still remember that day the phrase most said was, "Ahaha. No lah lets walk. See the it's getting bigger already." Because Quinn would ask to take public transport. And I would reply as I did. So we ended up walking for about I don't know, 4 - 8 km? Yeah it was fun. Later we went to Kallang stadium and found it to be closed to outsiders without passes. So we went and explored a little around the stadium and found a big entrance into the stadium. We almost got in when a security guard came along on a bike holding a very menacing stun baton in one hand ready to zap the shit out of us. When he left Quinn told me that even if he hit us with the stun baton nothing would happen. We're already spasming with exhaustion to begin with. Okay not so funny when I say it. You know there's that in-situ funniness of things. And then there was this lady who laughed at quinn's name. LOL. I mean Quinn is a very unique name. Stupid lady. Oh and yesterday's band performance? I don't think we're ever going back to VCH. They don't allow photographers to move around to take pictures! I mean, it's understandable that they don't allow flash photography, but WTH photographers can't move around?! And they made the school freakin' pay (thankfully not me) 150 freakin' dollars to allow photography in the hall! It's not their event, what gives them the right to tell us whether or not photographers can move around to take photos! It's almost a private event lah! The whole time before the intermission I was hiding the photographers' booth playing with my handphone. Stupid VCH. No more VCH please. It's got nothing to do with Victoria School even though it has "Victoria" in it. Morons. I wonder which other theater allows photographers to move around.

I'm supposed to only be there for 4 hours, because me and Quinn agreed we'd be taking four hours for each shift. I took the just after noon shift because I didn't know about the FREE DINNER that'll be provided. And Quinn, KNOWING(I assume)that I hadn't read my mail TOOK THE NIGHT SLOT SO THAT HE COULD HAVE THE DINNER WITHOUT ME! I'm staying until 10 for the free food. Hey, it's free food. Am I supposed to reveal all my teachers' email addresses? No one told me so I guess it doesn't really matter. Until someone tells me then it's fine. I'll remove it. Do you know the best way to stifle a sneeze. When you're about to sneeze, normally you inhale a HUGE gasp of air. But it's time to be really really quiet like if you're in a library or something, you have to exhale, rather than inhale air. Then you'll go like. "Ceh!" Rather than "AHHH CHOO!"

Yes, Damien does try to wait a week between each post
written at 8:59 PM, 6/5/09 The teacher who marked my script saw my "O"s as "U"s and my "F"s as "T"s and my "A"s as "C"s, and a couple more I can't remember now. Wooo yesterday I went to watch Monsters Versus Aliens with mah sistahs. Before that I had dinner with them at some new shopping center near Plaza Sing, at a restaurant called Aston's. It's nice and cheap. Sister says that there's one at amk too. Mom and Dad are in Macau now. Two days without them means I have to go to school myself. My first two times going Victoria by myself. I practically have arise from my slumber in the dead of night (0550) to reach school early enough to be just in time for class. I was late for the first time in my WHOLE secondary school life without a proper reason the first day I tried to get to school myself. I do not believe that it's better to be late than never to arrive at all. (attendance: 101/103) But I got MC. Serious. Don't know why the monitor still mark me late. CAMBERA! FOR THE HOLS! WOO. School's though. Who wants to come take photos with me?! ***NOTE: You only qualify to take pictures with the GREAT Damien if you bring your own DSLR along. Borrowed, stolen, or bought. ***ALSO NOTE: I barely ever mean anything on this blog. Do not take any of this to offense. No personal attack was meant. If you felt attacked that is. My ego on this blog is also "Larger Than Life - Backstreet Boys". Yesterday morning when I was going to school while I was crossing the zebra crossing I thought the vehicle was going to stop for me to pass so I waved as a gesture of "Thanks, guy." but instead he didn't stop and didn't turn into the zebra crossing lane at all and continued on forwards. Walking behind me was some auntie who saw me and from the corner of my eye I saw sniggering. Or maybe it was just me. Oh and I realized that this holiday started the same way last long holiday started. ALL my games and shit just kinda "Re"plagued my desktop. And my PSP. GUNDAM FTWITCHES! Sword impulse is by far the best melee Mobile Suit. But it's terrible against longer range Mobile suits like Buster. Mm. Time for the TOTALLY UNRELATED PICTURE

WUSSY!
written at 8:07 PM, 5/22/09 I got something special in mind And I know it might not seem much It's just a simple plan to give a helping hand It's something we can all do Today, tomorrow, me and you We could bring some cheer to this world Come on everybody, every boy and girl, singing Chorus: Once in a while You got to send somebody a smile A thought is how you start to change the world Come on and share it A little kindness is easy to bring Anything, even a cheeky little grin Little by little we can make things better Around the world we've got to stick together (Chorus) Something big or something small Be proud of your actions and stand up tall ***NOTE: Song is not mine. Creds to kindness.sg Woo hoo let's all support the Singapore Kindness Movement Manzzz. The song is full of weird implicative lyrics. So meaningful! I like it. Lied to Mr. Tan that day about not wanting to do AEP boards anymore. The Lie: I think other subjects in Prelims are more important. The Truth: My original thumbdrive which contained my work I did at home cannot be excessed by the macs in the school. I had an alternative, which was to put everything in my MP3 player but I had to go home to do it first. I did just that and the day I brought it to school ready to finish my AEP boards, I couldn't turn the piece of junk on, and it couldn't be accessed by my PC or the Mac. The lie is much shorter isn't it. Most of the time reasonable truths are short and sweet and simplistic. Stupid complicated truth which totally sounds too coincidental to be true. Uzz. Now I have to do my stuff over the weekend. AHHHH. Haha and FRIENDS on Starworld and Youtube r0xorz. ROSS IS SUCH A LOSER.
BAD NEWS. I'M STUPID!
written at 10:15 PM, 5/13/09 Oh and by Google Analytics, people visit my blog more in exam periods. I got my highest number of views in a day two days ago. I DIDN'T SCREW SS UP TODAY! IT SCREWED ME UP! YAY! Blame the paper. WOOOOOOOOO "WASTED TIME" BY EAGLES!

written at 5:03 PM, 5/11/09 I totally should be doing my English or Chinese(procrastination opportunities) revision now, but guess what?! I'M FREKKIN' DOING AEP(Kinda not procrastinating. Damien is ill)! I HATE AEP TO IT'S CORE ("E"). Who the hell cares what elements of art you use to portray your bluddy message. Who cares which principle of design the element of art expresses. WHO THE HELL CARES. ***INTERESTING(because most of my posts are really boring) Uzz. I'm soooo procrastinating now. OH OH OH There was this person who I refused to acknowledge to be a girl with the email "melissa9244@yahoo.com.sg" who I think last week added me on MSN. Then I asked him/er who s/he was and then s/he replied something along the lines of, "Who are you?" I got suspicious and blocked her. Yay. Then I watched as s/he blinked on and offline independently and concluded s/he was not a bot and nor a person with ill intentions and asked her again who she was, then she said she was "a whore from tampines sec" and was looking for "guys to seduce" and stuff. And that she was from Rosyth and got my email from a friend. Then I said, "No whoring around, but I don't mind being friends", and then she blocked me HAHAH! ***NOT INTERESTING AEP SUCKS BALLS. I SEE MY SELF BEING STUPID WHEN I READ MY MSN MSNGER HISTORY.
SORRY BINGYU IF I FORGET.

Mom thinks he's a murderer
written at 7:30 PM, 5/6/09 In other news, while I was on the bus where my mom called me, I saw Ms. Koh! From Rosyth Ms. Koh, she didn't recognise me though. Well at least she got the first two letters of my name right. Though being called "Daryl" made me feel insulted. (Daryl from 4c) Yeah I knew it was her the moment she came into the bus, sat down, and took out some hand sanitizer to clean her hands. She always did that after getting on the bus back from the sailing center. I think she has mild OCD. I didn't talk to her until I was about to get off to avoid awkward conversation, and I lied and told her it was because I only noticed then because I was shortsighted and couldn't recognise her. Paragraphing of this post is weird. Hi Russel! AEP SUCKS BALLS. Earliest update since who knows when.
The thing about AEP.

Congratulates VS track team, Soccer team
written at 10:58 PM, 4/24/09 Well, hello. This guy went to the track and field nationals yesterday. Victoria's school spirit was like *peulch*. I wished I never went! HC were cheering like dog. Cedar and St. Nick were screaming, where VS sat was the most peaceful place in the stadium. Saw a couple of classmates from my primary school. Zhiwei said "Hi... Hello, Damien." and I more or less blew her off. Not intentionally, I was kinda busy. Feels bad. Then again it looked like she took some time to remember my name so I think she deserved it. Saw Lisa, was busy being big, and sweaty with her other track friends near the prize-giving table. I was standing on the opposite side of the table with all the shiny medals with my camera waiting for the Victorians' turn to get their prizes and tried to her wave but she ignored/didn't see me. Hmm. Did the quietest, most lonely VS Unite cheer I've EVER seen in my ENTIRE 3 and a half years in Victoria. It was so, quiet, you felt like you wanted to stop cheering but you couldn't because you might just have betrayed your friends if you did! That kinda thing. I put only one picture up because the rest of them are taken at horrible angles and have disgusting backdrops. OH YAH and because of the event preparations like the setting up of the banners and flags, a bunch of Victorians got to skip classes manzzzz. Turns out, only 3 out of the 5 hours of missed lessons were put into good use. Rest of that was R&R. Stupid. Yup this post is pretty much just the picture. Enjoy the picture just a little while more... Okay you can leave. HAHA
Omegle, surpasses my expectations.
written at 10:06 PM, 4/14/09 Amazingly, only a couple of users came up saying, "Hi! Gender?" And as soon as I replied, "Male." They disconnect. Well, to be truly frank, of course you'd expect that from a site that conceals both parties' identity. And there were also conversations that went on about nothing at all. Just really large fragments of "LOL" and "OMGWTF" But some of the conversations were about culture and stuff. Which is really cool. I got to learn how to say, "How's the weather over there!?" in Finnish. Then there was this guy from China who was trying to improve his english. Wow. I mean who would have thought of that! HAHA. "Millainen sää siellä on?"
Has not been posting often.
written at 8:37 AM, 4/12/09 Apparently, the largest portion of visitors (apart from direct visitors) come referred from Ziyad's and Azmi's blogs. Yes, I'm advertising for them here. They should help me with my publicity problem too. Not many people come to this blog, just over 250 hits over a span of 2 frekkin' months. And people who do come here spend no more than 2 minutes and click away. Can't you people just leave the windows open, and make me feel a little happier at least. Haha then there was this guy who searched "cause for shallowness when yawning, coughing," and ended up on my blog. Wth. Then there was this other guy, or guys, who searched "tan bing yu vs npcc" and hit my page 28 times. Which is really odd, because if you search those keywords, my blog never appears on google. Well this is a pretty useless post.
Links Updated!

Mom thinks he smokes.
written at 6:53 PM, 3/31/09 To think even my mom has such a lowly opinion of me. I'm inexplicably saddened, and wronged. I should just stay in school right?! I should like sleep in school everyday too. I hate my mom I hate her I hate her I hate her. On a different note, I went to Crescent Girls School today! And amazingly I didn't get lost on the way back. Woo hoo. Awesomeeee. And after today I can safely conclude that I won't be making many friends too soon in the JC that I will soon be resident to impossibly VJ; I face it I just won't get in, I won't like it there anyway. Reminds me of a chinese idiom I can't put my finger on. Must cut down on idiotic jokes. Must be overexposure to Fuzh.

written at 11:22 PM, 3/24/09 My Taupok virginity was taken from me today. Also I had cake smeared on my face. Does anyone else smell cake? Or is it just me. I wonder if I pick my nose I can find something edible and tasteful. THANKS MUCH EVERYONE! *NOTE: Finishing the rest of the cake before they smash it in your face is not a good prevention measure. Make sure nobody's in the room first.

I PLAYED YURI'S REVENGE THIS WEEKEND!
written at 8:31 PM, 3/1/09 Last week Victoriana came out! Thanks to many who acknowledged the hard work that Media club spent so much time on. NOTE that as of now the next Victoriana is in pre-production stage! Agh also last week or was it maybe 2 weeks ago? Somebody broke my badminton racket. No question, I am frekkin' pissed about that, not so much about how much it costs though. Just a bit of sentimental value. Even so, maybe I shouldn't have acted the way I did, and if the racket meant so much to me maybe I should have brought it home earlier. Sorry though. I watched Benjamin Button with my family. It's really nice. Go watch it! ahhh I have nothing to postttt. HAHAHA this puts a grin on my face! Crap the week's just beginning again. Lol beginning, again.

The Fat ones get slaughtered first.
written at 10:36 PM, 2/15/09 First of all, I'd like to congratulate the Organizing Committee in their successful execution of the Student Leader's Convention of 2009. It was simply brilliant. Except for the, "RESTARTING IN 20 SECONDS. Restart Now?" During the Student Leader's Oath. If anyone would want to know, it's actually ______'s fault. Pardon the blank I'll need to ask for his permission first. HAHA. The whole thing was pretty much a third person experience for me, but nevertheless, just by watching it, I could feel so absorbed in the event. It's probably because you're supposed to feel like that. You know with the cheering, and the sing-along, and all. I wonder what SLI's about. Feeling 'known'? Feeling together? I kinda got lost in the whole commotion. I would like to apologise to erm, Benjamin and the other two indian guys, one of which was from track. SORRY I forgot your names. What I told you about being dunked is not necessarily true, but if you think about it, it has hints of fact in it. One mistake I made is that I forgot about some other factors. Go figure them out yourselves. Being spoonfed is not fun. Haha. I doubt like | THIS MUCH | that they read my blog but hey, it's worth speaking my mind, maybe I'll tell them myself.

It appears that some people are faring better
written at 11:28 PM, 2/6/09 Whoa my posts have been void of pictures for way too long manzzz. I feel like putting some stuff up. My posts are getting kind of stale don't you think. If it's not about my mom nagging at me, it's about my CCA. I just don't really have too much of an opinion on anything at all. Either that or my opinion is too prepostrous to be made known to people. Jinxing people is fun. Especially 3 or more people are making deliberate attempts to predict what the other guy is about to say and then say, "Jinx" and the person will owe him a soda. And I don't actually think it works that way. I mean it's by luck one mah. I owe Azmi like 7 bottles of soda, because he cheated (I refuse to believe he played fairly). Ugh I have some flag day thing tomorrow. You know everytime I try to make a decision I think is correct, then suddenly I decide that's it's a wrong decision and in the end I'll waste a lot of time just trying to figure out which choice to make and not do whatever the decision concerns because I spent all that time deciding. Maybe I let my feelings get in the way of my decision making. I should decide like when I'm playing soccer. I don't. Damien's soccer manual: Anyhow tackle. Try not to tackle friendly. Oh and I got a new(old) pencilcase thing! It's actually a waistpouch and it's blue and it's bigger than my yellow coloured one. And somehow this reminds me that Fuzhi owes me 10 dollars. Since this year began, so many people just sunk under the radar. I mean they all just became less prominent in cyberspace! That's something to worry about. Haha. Lol this is a bullshit post. I'll be collecting your change around the Eastern end of Singapore. So feel free to come over and drop your shiny coins in my can! Notes are encouraged as well.
Lost his pencilcase/pencilbox/waistpouch thing.
written at 11:15 PM, 2/1/09 Junior and teacher think I'm antisocial. They just came to me and put it straight in my face damnnit. I don't completly disagree actually. Don't know leh, recently I've withdrawn into this really weird state, where I try to reduce communication as much as possible. I don't think I'm a guy who walks around with a HUGE bunch of friends around him as some sort of ego boost or something. I just like having a couple of real close friends. And maybe establish some good relationships with a couple of guys who I don't meet all the time. And I believe that having 748094732425 best friends is completely meaningless. My mom keeps insisting there's something wrong with me. Apparently I'm not smiling as much as I usually do. "Usually" is not a very appropriate word anymore since "usually" refers to before just over a year back. I personally feel there's nothing wrong with me. Of course I'm sure some other people might beg to differ. Must be a teen thing hormones making my brain go all woooo. Also i feel like flying. oh and hahahahaha yayyyyy I'm put in charge of another zine! Wooo hoo! I didn't know teachers held grudges. I caught a glimpse of teacher-student conflict, first contact. Not this year haha. Kinda this year. From last year. I don't like it. I'm having a kind of feeling that you get when you're being blackmailed you know.
Oh man I want a "CLICK universal remote" too.
written at 8:23 PM, 1/27/09 OMG IT'S A CONSPIRACY! Watched click on TV. Channel 19, AXN. Watched 13 going on 30. DVD. Yeah and then with all the family visits and stuff? Everything's pointing towards, "Cherish your childhood. Family's number 1. Career comes later." And dude. This brainwash is working on me. My parents must have poisoned me or something. I'm not ditching my career though. And then after a while I just feel like going back in time or something. Haha my Uncle and Auntie said I'm "handsome" and "intelligent" and "smart" and my uncle told me not to "let the girls cry". As soon as you see the first word you know something's seriously wrong with what he say liao. Then it starts to get prepostrous when you read the second and third word, and then you question my integrity at the fourth claim. But seriously ah, I think my face has the ability to make people cry. Too ugly. Quick somebody, shoot my face with a shotgun! Or burn it off by pouring kerosene on my shoulder and setting it aflame! If anything it'll make it look hotter. Just kidding, after the soccer incident, I'm super hot(*SPITVOMITSNORT*) and can you see me gloating now?! Yes and that's why I have few friends. Albeit really good ones (is this the right use of "albeit"? I'm just trying it out. Albeit. HAHA). A few aquantances floating around and a number of subordinates. Yup that's you Quinn! Which is funny because Quinn was supposed to be Media Club Chairman, but he's got 2 CCAs and in his other CCA he's already got a real high post, so the Teacher in Charge was nice and gave me the position of chairman in Media Club which I would probably lose as soon as I say this! "HAH! IN YOUR FACE QUINN I'M YOUR SUPERIOR!" Well kinda. Since he's the one getting all the "To-dos" from the teachers still. I don't mind actually. And for reasons that are really obvious I should not type out anything on this blog! Man I hate reading long posts. Oh and the Solar eclipse. I missed it completely. We were chatting or something at my relative's while it happened. I hear theres another coming up late this year.

What do you need to add to a witch to make her taste better?
written at 12:04 AM, 1/22/09 I can't argue with people who say, "How's going on hiatus going to help you focus on your studies?!" Partly because I don't want to, and partly because it sort of makes sense, especially since what I do as a CCA revolves around IT so much. Lol I just recovered from a fit of frustration and anger. After I spent about half my new pilot pen't ink on my SS "REDO IT" essay. Numbs the brains. And the hand. Ugh I'm so mad at so many teachers now. Maybe it's misdirected anger, but hey, I'm a teen. Now, let me exress my anger. Teachers want job done. I want to not let down teachers. Would saying "no" to a teacher be letting a teacher down? My warped logic seems to agree to that. PEOPLE CAN'T FOCUS ON MORE THAN ONE THING! Or at least I can't. I can't stand it when you tell the truth as blatantly as you can possibly put it and then the guy you're trying to convince raises a brow at you. I mean, are you SUPPOSED to purposely sound very pitiful so that you can INTENTLY convince someone? Okay that sounds like a very redundant question but my brain doesn't function that way. Then my mom also emoing again. Brings the whole atmosphere in the house to subzero loh. And she seems to think I'm pissed when I just don't have enough energy to make out a smile. Lol I just contradicted my previous paragraph. Yah fine I was pissed but other times when I'm not ticked off and really tired she seems to decide that I'm pissed and will come and lecture me. Don't get it man. I wonder if teachers think they're the only teachers who issue a truckload of homework for their students. We have other frekkin' commitments too lah. It's as good as part time work already loh. EXCEPT YOU DON'T GET PAID. But free food is always awesome. I'm thankful that the AEP teachers know what I like. I just came on to bitch about school.
FU*KIN' HIATUS TIME!
written at 1:33 PM, 1/10/09 Yeah I'm going to put this blog in a cryotube and find a cure before I remove it from suspended animation again. No joke peoples, O's are here and it's not here to make nice. It's going to rip your brain to shreds if you don't start prepping it up now! I THINK I KNOW WHERE I WENT WRONG. AND GUESS WHAT?! THE WORLD IS AN APPLE! Nothing to do with Fuzhi yoh. Say cheese!
I wonder what sunburnt *thisisanonracialjoke* look like.
written at 5:51 PM, 1/4/09 It's a little sad to know that this is most probably the last time that I would attend and pitch-in in a school organized camp for the Sec 1s. Maybe I'd join them again next year like Danial did. NAHHH. I guess S1 camp was alright. Just before it started Mr. Siow asked myself and 2 other guys who hadn't been promoted to SLs if we wanted to get promoted or not. Guess what? I'm still a Junior leader! Nah lah Mr. Siow didn't not promote me, I said no. I feel somewhat apologetic to the other JLs that had been ordered around by mesa. Okay no more. I actually was just assigned to be a photographer there, but after the first day, things just started to get really repetitive. Except for the part where Mr. Zabid did the zipline. WOW. So, I dedicated the first day to photog, and the second to fun. Kayaking haha. This time I DIDN'T stand in my kayak. Closed deck by the way. The wind out at sea is super awesome. Not like strong, but very breezy. I remember my S1 camp. Don't you? What else ah. Oh yah Jeffery/Tom/Fuji was really good company in the camp. Don't know why suddenly so nice. I bet he wants something from me... The cynic in me LOL. If you're wondering what I was up to as the last moments of 2008 came to an end, I was squeezing with a bunch of people at the Marina Bay countdown with all my, or rather the school's photography equipment, and failing to secure a decent vantage point, and various other things that I should not mention due to racist content. Yeah all that to fill my quota of photos for the photography event, "Eye in The City".
I am confident, that this year will be the year that my acads will die. Nevertheless, I will give it a shot. Victoriana is done as far as I know. Wah sian everything just happened too fast. I don't want to die! How many "You've changed" related conversations have you had last year? I've certainly had my share. Embrace change, huh. Lol I'm reading blogs and at least 3/5 people are making resolutions for the year, I for one have long given up on New Year resolutions. They don't work for people like me. I just CAN'T commit to anything lah. I don't feel the determination that anyone's supposed to feel at the start of a big race, it's just another day after the holiday I feel so cheated by the calender, if you know what I mean. Brace yourself.
Mothballs are super special candy that you should never eat.
written at 9:19 PM, 12/28/08 Christmas wasn't that much worth mention. I got 2 presents. Okay I think I got 4. But I got 2 from my relatives. And I think I got another 2 from my friends, which makes 6 altogether? Though they weren't REALLY meant to be christmas gifts, I'll take them as gifts. I bet they don't know they gave me them either. Or maybe after I say this then they'll know. Thanks duhds. Too bad I don't really do gifts. I'm not really the type of person who knows how to pick out gifts just by the outlook of another person. So I always say, "My presence is in itself a gift. I am Present." The cheapo's motto. 02 I Dreamed There Was No War [Instrumental].wma - Boxing day was spent in school. Half the time I was just slacking around. There was a lack of things to do. Could have done my homework though. Oh and FYI, Victoriana's so very alive. I was scammed by my co-workers. HAHA. Too bad. The only thing, or things rather, that have become inoperational in the Media Lab are the Internet and the Shared folder, where all the photos of 2008 were stored. Excellent. It's really terrible for the Victorian. But Victoriana's as good as complete already. Though there are a couple of missing pictures. Next 4 days are going to be busy busy busy. Photog on Thursday and Friday, SLI planning and S1 thingy on Monday and Tuesday respectively. Haha why am I telling you this? I think I'm looking for pity.
Essential update (boring)
written at 9:34 PM, 12/27/08 PLUS, Damien is down with a deadly, though non-contagious(I think) disease! CYNICISM! Well, apparently that's what the bunch of numbers said when my Aunt read my Ba Zi. I'm supposed to be optimistic! I'm also supposed to be "successful" and "business-minded" also an "asset".
The effect of boredom
written at 11:40 AM, 12/24/08  I did a quiz that I found on Andres blog lol. The first time I did it I got a personality type that was completely untrue. So I did it a couple more times and got this personality that I found fitting me! Holy crap, apparently there was some technical fault in the Macs in the Media lab. So now the whole Victoriana is being recovered(unreliable). Gratz. Maybe there'll be no Victoriana after all. I don't mind man really.
I GOT MUSIC FROM BY AND AZMI THANKSSSS.
written at 7:41 PM, 12/23/08 THE EAGLES ARE FREKKIN' AWESOME. So much happened in the past 2 days but I can't remember what! Sad huh. Yuhp at least there'll be more room for new stuff I guess. Or maybe my brain is just working on a cache now, like only a small bit of space for basic body functions. So nothing really much can retain inside you know. Yah. Tomorrow's Christmas Eve. Also the due date for Victoriana I guess? Psst. It's not done! HAHA. YOU KNOW WHY? The server in the Media Lab is down and I can't retrieve photos from it. Agh nevermind lah that'll give me an excuse to not submit the final thing until later. Oh haha I went to Bing Yu's house yesterday for some sort of BBQ thing. Very fun, I got to irritate all the NPCC guys there. Wei Xuan responds to pokes. Violently! Lol and that was also the day that I brought the gardening sprays to *somewhere*! Duhds, not a good idea. Especially if you're in the *someplace* with a lot of *somestuff* that will *dosomething* and might *something* in contact with water. Also with three very retarded *somethings* running about the *someplace* it's a real hazard to bring in new factors that pose a danger and threat to the *somestuffs* there. Mm-hmm. Yesterday morning I listened to "Talkback" on 9.38LIVE! hosted by Keith Desuza and some lady whom I misheard her name and even if I didn't I'd spell it Barodi Jugfish. The topic was on the Melamin Contamination and if Singaporeans would still patronize dairy products from PRC. There was this uncle guy who sounded like an old retiree with nothing to do and said, "Aiyah I used eyedrops from China, then when I heard about the melamin poisoning thing ah, I dare not use ah. So now I use Optrax! It's made in Malaysia so not so bad. Then there was this other guy who was more amazing, he only spoke for a second. Like, "Hello. China made products have my full support! Thank you. Bye Bye!" I think he's a China national. Yes and no kidding. He spoke for like a second and left the hosts really stunned LOL. Then everytime it always sounds like Barodi Jugfish is the only person who has an opinion on any matter and then Keith Desuza will be in the background saying, "Sure," and ,"Of course." and other stuff like that all too often. And after a while Barodi Jugfish starts to like sound a little like the way AEP students sound when they're trying to sell their projects' concepts. Looks like AEP students aren't the only bullcrudder's on the surface of the earth.
Second weekend update. Christmas is soon, I want money.
written at 9:12 PM, 12/21/08 This is my testblog where I coded the skin! Leave comments if you want/can, it's a little unprofessionally done on my part, because this is my first time working with pngs that have irregular transparency. Quite cool. Oh and if you notice, the image link that leads to the Roosterteeth Website is gone. While uploading and re-organizing the pictures for the ARES blog I accidentally deleted a couple of images including the 602 blog one. HAHA wups. Will fix soon if I can. loL don't know what happened, but suddenly my mom is like quite joyous. Must be the approaching Christmas cheer. Yah then today when we go out my parents even hold hands lah! I think my mom is suffering from minor depression, all my dad has to do is flirt flirt abit then she okay liao. Women. HAHA. Or maybe it's alcohol. And then I just bought this pair of gardening sprays from Daiso: Haha yes I wanted to buy some toy guns at first, but then in daiso, everything costs 2 dollars, and I figured a gardening spray is just another water-gun with more ammunition! HAHA. I'm currently considering if I should bring it to school... Yuz so fun.
Christmas in 5 days. No christmas tree.
written at 9:45 AM, 12/20/08 Haha the Media Lab is actually quite hell on earth this holiday. Because in the lab resides a bunch of serious nutcases. Without rhyme or reason someone will utter something completely out of the blue. Then some other times people will scream for no reason. Then some other other times people will We seriously have some insane conversations in the Media Lab lah. It kinda sounds like a guy on drugs talking to maybe a nutcase in an asylum, and a sort of a chimpanzee. Then about three hours into the idiocy, someone will say, "lunCH!" Yes emphasis on the "CHHHH". Those who second that will go, "LUNCHHH" too. In a moment or two the whole Media Lab will have a bunch of people yelling, "Lunch!" Okay only about 4 people. But yes, imagine a pack of seals which say,"Lunch!" instead of "Arp!" Those with weak heads don't come into the Lab. It's brain-damage inducing.
Damien is less than three macs.
written at 8:28 PM, 12/18/08 Oh man I spent the whole of today's afternoon just stuffing myself with food. Okay it was over a span of time so it wasn't so bad. About 4 hours, and to burn off the calories that might have accumulated, we My assistant somehow just disappeared lah. Mr. Aidil is also now uncontactable. Wth. The last time I called him he was having some NCC(Sea) exercise and out on the sea. Maybe his handphone drop to the depths of the ocean and now I can't contact him. Or maybe he turned his handphone off so now I can't contact him. I remember I asked a senior to write an article, and I told him that he could submit it on Saturday/Friday? It's not here yet haha. Roight it's still Thursday. Then the Media Club teachers are back already. And they're starting to bug us again. "It's really late ah, Damien. You guys have been sitting here for weeks already..." Well I guess it is koinda laet. Homework is barely 1/1000000000000000000000000 done. Don't ask. Sec 1 registration day tomorrow. (almost said sec 1 graduation day)Also the day to like force a smile to every frekkin' parent that wants to know about AEP. And again, knowing how to answer questions correctly is a quintessential ability. Haha there are some bits of AEP that you just won't know how GREAT it is before you actually come in. Haw haw. Oh and this is a convo that happened between me and a primary school friend that hasn't spoken to me in AGES. Gnap Gnew Gnof says:

Victoriana is on it's way to completion manzz. I'm so supercalifragilisticexpialidociously(sp?) glad. Holidays are on the verge of ending. I'm very not glad. Though, I'm positive that this holiday has been the most fruitful since the moron who is Damien came into existance. Spending time with friends works wonders. I know what I want now! I want my workplace in future to be just like how it is in the Media lab from 8am to 5pm. It's very enjoyable now actually. The way we just sloggg over the damn bluddy zine the whole way through. UGH. Enjoyable. I'm telling you that if you don't understand serious sarcasm, you won't survive in the Media Lab when only the active members are around. Quinn, Aidil, Azmi, Damien, Wenhan(notsomuch). Yeah these guys. We're the really safe runners. Although not really. Contradicting, lol. I just shot myself in the foot. But it's totally true, only if the 5 of us are in. I think if any teachers read this post they should be a little scared. Well, don't be. Remember to use trickery. The zine has 4 more articles not complete. One article has been deserted by the previous Head Prefect, who in attempt to flee the impending labour of composing a well structured article, fled to the States. He now is uncontactable by phone, E-mail, or snail-mail. The article is now being completed by a more loyal contributor, Wilnard, who has promised - and from valuable sources I hear he has so far always if not most of the time true to his word - to submit the article in to me by Friday/Saturday. An article on one of the last few pages has content undesirable for any reader. What's worse is that there is not a single picture of the event I was asked to publish. Now that sucks. Oh man I'm typing weirdly. I actually think I'm just typing whatever I think of. Nothing's being processed. Go read Azmi's blog. And omg do you know? Quinn has a blog! WTH unfortunately he deleted it. OH HAHA I remember seeing this guy today who tried to discreetly spit into a drain by the side of the road while boarding the bus I was on. He spat and the spit got stuck to his STASH! OMG. It's disgusting and embarassing at the same time! I sort of feel bad for him, okay no more. I'm going to get the song, "Busy Being Fabulous - Eagles". It's awesome. Have you ever got that feeling like you can run faster than you ever can? It's fun. I call it berzerk mode manzz. Reminds me of primary school days man. I recall I would desert my prefect station all the time just to play catching at the parade square. Oh and I remembered there was this one time in Holy Innocence, I accidentally kicked a soccer ball that was not supposed to be kicked, then the primary 4/5/6 kids started chasing me, and I managed to outrun about 4 of them who chased me for a while. Like a long while. Then I was caught outside the general office. (where they can't do anything to me) loL recently you know I have this shallowness of breath thing? It's still around. I'm a little frightened by it. It seems to come when there's something to be anxious about. Erm a loser example will be like DotA. Another loser example will be catching/after catching. It's like suddenly I feel like breathing in a lot of air, but can't, and then I end up yawning multiple times. Sounds funny? Not really funny huh. Then again maybe it's just my brain. Or me. It's happening less often though. "Purposely one right?" Have fun.
Hey moon, please forget to fall down.
written at 10:56 PM, 12/13/08 Goodnighties. Mom is unhappy with me! She disowned me again. I don't see how that's possible though. Lol. Perhaps somewhere along the road after she disowned me before she decided to mutually take me in again. I look around me and I see frekkin' prodigies lah. People who will become professors and crap. I'm probably going to be stuck cleaning toilets or something. Again, please remember to spare (money)change for this Hobo-to-be.
Verbal assurance is always okay.
written at 10:43 AM For those who know me well, I'm a sucker for Italian food, namely lasagne, and I wish to share my love for pasta with the rest of the school*bullsheat*. Then while browsing I came across this: Haha quite bullshit lah if you ask me.
The previous post is a joke.
written at 7:41 PM, 12/11/08 For those who don't know what Garena is, it's a server thing that people can log on to so that they can play multiplayer games with each other via LAN. So now you know, when I registered I somehow-donnowhy registered as "Female". I didn't think it would make much of a difference until I saw the avatars when you log into Garena. So now I haveHAHA.

Weekly post time!
written at 10:20 AM, 12/6/08 Thanks alot Bing Yu. Apparently, he intended just to link my picture under his name, "beLIEve", but then somehow managed to post my face up there. And I'd rather shame myself then let someone else shame me, so like, the "stupid things" BY mentions is like that I picked my nose while I was chatting with him with video call, and then he caught it on camera. That's just great right?HAHA yesterday, I was playing catching again! Then I was wondering how long we can continue playing catching you know? Because we're sec4 already? I wonder if we can do it JC. Oh yah, but it'll be a little bit inconvenient playing with girls... LOL which reminds me of the time in primary school, we played catching during recess all the time, then one day the teacher (Mr. Bong if I'm not mistaken) told us to be more careful not to tap/grab/whatever the girls that place when we're playing catching. HAHA. Hmm, there was something I wanted to post. Oh yah and this weekly thing? Obviously, NOT WORKING. I'm not even doing my homework when I'm not blogging. Ugh, i have this feeling that I'll be posting again come night time. HELP MEEE. Victoriana is really screwed up. People, when my zine comes out, do me a favour and trash it immediately. The holiday sucks because it's ending. OH SHIT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING MY READ EAT ARTICLE TODAY! EDIT, 1830h. yay I can't wait for DotA later! Although actually I'm supposed to do my Amath... Anyway I just remembered what I wanted to say earlier! Two things. First of all, I'd like to ask 602 people to please do visit our blog. And tag when you're not free in the span of the 14th to the 20th of December. I have this feeling we won't be having an outing in the end. I'm reading blogs and tons of people are overseas. Anyway, what I actually wanted to talk about was about the looks I got when I went to school with uhh, this set of spectacles. Haha, I got like the *stare with mouth a bit open and wave* kind of look from people I didn't really talk to much, but know. And from some people I know, especially my
Today's nice pictures. Not a real post. Not counted.

Yay my phone can stream music via bluetooth to my PC so now I can play music through my phone into my computer plugged into my big Creative speakers! Which are on sale. Who wants to buy them! I'll post up a picture next week. They're rockin'. Come on down to my house for a test-driveee! Wow sounds dodgey! Later... [c=0]beLIEve Does this world work on Trust?Am i mistaken? THE (: SOCIETY. [/c] says: Haha oh yah I shut down another one of my failed organisation dedicated blogs! Go see. I think it looks nicer than before I shut it down. It's now in a state of rest. I'm so happy for it!
Damien wants order!
written at 9:03 AM, 11/29/08 HAHA nice song. Yeah so I've been doing this thing about you know, posting less often and all. Yeah because no one really reads anyway. (shhh I'm trying to convince myself.) I'm trying to make myself procrastinate less in the form of like, blogging excessively, but in the end I just find other ways of procrastinating. So it's not working too well huh. Crap there's like A maths on my table. And if you notice for the past month I've only been talking about A maths? Yeah there's other crap to be done. Oh yah and did you know, I just fell sick?! OMG it's HORRIBLE. I GET TO STAY HOME AND NOT DO HOMEWORK AND ALL. Erm, "stay home" because I'm supposed to be in school doing Victoriana and crap. I haven't finished because we do all sorts of stuff other than doing the zine in the Media Lab too. Our fault. AND ATTENTION PEOPLE WHO OWE ME ARTICLES. HURRY THE FETCH UP! OMFG they killed the Singaporean hostage. Fckers. EDITED! Oh yes and I just remembered a really nice dream that I had last night. Only this part though: There were like gazillions of tiny yellow pretty butterflies flying about in a large swarm in front of me. Then I took out a huge hose and sprayed them onto a wall! Yay! EDITED AGAIN! Haha I'm making use of my last few minutes before tomorrow to blog because I promised myself that I'd only blog on Saturdays. I have a feeling that that won't work out too well though. No wait I promised myself that I wouldn't blog at home on Saturdays. That means I can blog in school on weekdays from the Media Lab where I'm supposed to be working! Anyway, I just spammed Ellyn's Tagboard! Yay! Urgh I'm supposed to do AMATHHHHHHHH! No wait, but I'm ill! AHAH! Take that nasty pile of homework. TOMORROW WHEN I'M BETTER AND HAVE BRUSHED MY TEETH! Which I rarely ever do. I'm surprised I still have a full set of not yet decayed teeth.
Is currently trying to twitch non-existent pecs.

It's spreading. (II)
written at 5:40 PM, 11/23/08 (1030) Okay this is getting a little bit disturbing. "Coolio" is my word! Well, kinda. My dad said it and I put it on the web in my own spelling.
Apparently, after checking the Urban Dictionary, coolio's not exactly my word, and it's been on the web since 2004 or earlier! That's a real let-down. I'm quite sure no one reads a long post, but anyway, here I go! And furthermore, I have been tagged by LinChun to do this quiz. Directions: - People who were tagged need to blog about 10 weird habits/little-known facts about themselves and state the rules of completeing the quiz clearly. at the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. - NO TAGBACKS PLEASE!! 10 weird things/habits/little-known facts about me: 1. I pretend I'm holding a shotgun when people are not looking. And I go, "BANG, CHICKA!" really loudly when I'm found out. 2. I pretend I'm holding a pistol when people are not loooking. And make hand gestures of the gun's recoil when I'm found out. 3. I sing softly in public because I think I sing well. Due to comments made by certain members of the public, I have recently toned down to lip-syncing very emotionally. 4. I like to run upstairs very softly and imagine I'm a ninja. 5. I one day intend to start my own vlog. 6. I want to be a singer. 7. I like to irritate people by spamming nonsense in a group convo. 8. I stare at people who style their hair. 9. I feel bad when people are having fun. 10. I like playing fairly in a GundamSeed game.(that means no Seed mode Damien!) THE广州EXPERIENCE MANZZZ Interesting bits; CTRL + F: FIRE PIPE BOMB DOUSHEBAG DON'T GO HOME ON WEEKDAYS 路痴 PAEDO ANNOYING ROLLERBLADE BREAK-RUBBERDUST POST GUANGZHOU TRIP CONVO Yeah, I'm back from China! I'll update later in an edit, my blogposts look weird in double posts. (1530) Okay now, CHINA. Aww, man, there's just so much to say! WHERE DO I START? Ehmm, no pictures today, because I was the video guy over there. I'll upload pictures in a later edit(tomorrow). Probably will kope from Quinn and Azmi. Roight so first day. Woke up dead early. 0430, cabbed to the airport, and flew at 0830. Yeah that's 4 hours between waking up and flying. Not so interesting crud in between. AIR PLANE! I got the window seat! Got some awesome footage of fluffy clouds! We got to meet our buddies as soon as we arrived in the school. The lodging was amazing. Our "hostel" was a huge bungalow thing that had enough beds for MORE than 20 people! Then we joined our buddies' timetable, which incidentally, was afternoon nappy time! So we stayed in the hostel and a number of the UPPERworld people: Adrian, Weiliang, Azmi, Farhan, Haziq, Quinn and myself, played catching in the big house. Yay. Note: We are the UPPERworld because the people down stairs are the underworld. That's all. Honestly if they're the underworld we should be the OVERworld. Plenty of dry stuff until the Welcome party, where we enjoyed ourselves a lot in the Karaoke lounge. (OMG I WANT ONE TOO) I didn't much lah. Too many Chinese songs. At night after the party we joined our buddies in class. 初一-十 was the class I joined, along with Sean(Shawn?) and Azmi. The class was very keen in knowing more about the Aliens who speak both English and Chinese, fluently. I'm not an Alien. I can't speak chinese fluently. Haha. THE NEXT DAY, the first thing we noticed when we got up was the seriously ANNOYING school bell. I call it a "bell" but it was really just a collection of Midi songs. And there was a PA system wake up call, and whenever the PA system was in use, there would be this like grand instrumental music going on in the background, music that would be playing during a march. We got up and got ready for the full day of class. Uhh, their English classes were a little bit warped. There was a lot of rote learning throughout and a little bit of mistakes in their worksheets. And sometimes I think even the teachers are not completely sure what they're saying. But their chinese classes were HIGHLY intellectual. Basically meaning that I am unsure of what they're saying. By far the only lessons I understand are the English, Biology and Physics lessons. OH OH OH and their physics lessons were REALLY interesting and FUN! Even though the physics teacher was a complete ARSE to the students, he kinda ignored us Singaporeans during his lessons. It was fun because we get to watch things burn. Uh, by things I mean like you know the 孔明灯? Yeah they made those mini hot air baloons, which were constructed mostly of paper and a few wires to hold a bit of burning kerosene soaked paper in place. Paper plus naked flame equals big fire! Okay not really lah, it would be better if the paper bag thing was soaked in kerosene too, but no, they don't soak kerosene on the paper bag to watch it burn. They burn the little bit of paper and watch the hot air baloon take flight, and hope to god the strong winds don't blow the flame onto the paper bag. Of course, it is inevitable for ALL baloons to not catch fire. Yes so some spectacular flights include one kong ming deng that flew up at least three 5 stories high and then burst into flames. IN MID AIR! Video, coming soon! Yeah then it was back to lessons in class and then afternoon nappy time. This time we played catching for about 1 hour and then went to sleep for about another and it was lessons again. After lessons, it was our turn to make those flammable bags of DOOM. AKA kong ming deng. I think I'll call it a doushebag for short. It was fun making the doushebags. I drew a timed pipe bomb on the one quinn and I made. Oh and guess who taught us how to make them?! THE ARSE PHYSICS TEACHER! Oddly he was really patient with us. According to the teacher, you write your wishes on the lantern and hope it comes true. Normally people would just light the doushebags and let them fly to the sky, but because of strong winds plus naked fire plus dry grass which added together would equal a large flaming soccer field, twice the size of the one in Victoria, they added "long string" to the equation. Which would equate to small fire that can be stepped out without burning anyone's pants off. But that would also remove, "doushebag flies all the way to the heavens to grant your wish!" from the result! So I was wondering how the hell would anyone's wish be granted unless some how the bag was sent to the heavens by some other means, and I came to this conclusion: BURN THE BAG. Which of course was rather dumb. But you know, Damien and Dumb goes hand in hand. So I drew a timed pipe bomb to aid the bag in reaching it's supposed destination and highest potential! Unfortunately, my well wishes were in vain, my doushebag returned safely back to earth. Although a few of the other bags did burst into flames haha. ON DAY THREE we had an excursion of sorts. It was fun. I got to wear my new shades. We went to see a GIGANTIC statue of the Goddess of Mercy which peaked the mountain. Photos of me acting like a dumbshit later on. Then we went to the Wang Fei Hong Martial Arts Hall, which is sort of a place built and a lion dance troupe set-up in memoriam of Wang Fei Hong. Then really boring shopping. It felt like everytime you weren't looking at your bag, it would be sliced open and you'd get robbed! Maybe I was just paranoid because I had quite a few bits of valuable stuff on me THE FOURTH DAY was the day that I got to show off my skating skills at last! It was part of the itinerary that we got to skate, but incidentally, before that part of the itinerary, it was my class' PE period, so I got to skate more. YAY! Well, I could see that many of them there were not really happy that they couldn't skate as well as I could, but I don't really care! I'll speed-skate around the rink while all the rest of you look like crippled old freaks all I want! EAT ROLLERBLADE BREAK-RUBBERDUST! I was better than the teacher apparently. Just as the skating session was about to end, I realized that the class room windows right above the skating rink were open and that they were all watching us. I asked Azmi if he knew and then he said that they were watching since we started and I felt bad. I have to say though, watching the crippled old men rollerblading, and having the students there clap and compliment me there was a great ego boost. (good or bad, I'm not too sure.) Then after that was the most AWKWARD experience I've had so far. The house-visit to the buddy's house for dinner. There were countless moments where I just felt like jumping out the window and running away, but yah, that would suck. Yuki and her parents were very nice to me lah. I gave them a packet of Laksa paste and Mee Rebus paste as a "Thank you" gift to them, and in return they just spammed me with all kinds of gifts that could stack up to about 60cm tall? Including 5 apples that I kinda managed to finish within an hour on the ride to the airport. Dumb Damien thought that you couldn't bring it up onto the plane. Haha. I guess I'll be healthy for 5 days then! The nice little girl even brought me around her house and showed me around where she stayed. Then while walking I learned a new chinese phrase! 路痴, which if translated to English means, road idiot, or describing a person who has zero sense of direction. AKA a Damien or a Yuki. So then we had dinner, in a restaurant. Oh right did I mention they gave me motion sickness pills as well? After that was back to school. I got to rest in the hostel, but my buddy had to go back for lessons. IT WAS EIGHT AT NIGHT! Oh yah and the school food was really crap lah. So I had emergency Milo and cup noodles. I spent two nights fiddling with the back ends of toothbrushes to use as chopsticks. I found chopsticks in the school canteen two nights later. HAHA. LOL I don't have the time-table with me so I think I missed out a day! But yes, I'll blog the interesting stuffs and you'll find out more later. We even got to BBQ within the school's compounds! Although I had a little trouble with the chicken wings, the wings that I tried to cook always ended up burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. But at least there was sausages and hotdogs. I almost typed "hotgods". I'm not exactly sure if this was before or after the home visit, but I'm certain we had it. FRIDAY was the last day we could properly see our buddies. Because the bulk of them got to go home at the end of the week. YES, THEY DON'T GO HOME ON WEEKDAYS! There were lessons as usual in the morning, and at night there was a scheduled farewell party, again held in the Karaoke lounge. There was meant to be more lessons after the break at 12, but then we managed to persuade the teacher in charge of the trip to allow us to go shopping one more time. So, boring shopping for 1 hour. Then YAY! Back in school 4 pm. Just in time to watch our classmates leaving for home. Yeah, I kinda wish we could have said goodbye in a more proper fasion. We had some rest, and then at 5, we learnt chinese painting! How delightful! I didn't like it that much lah. I did it before a lonnnnggg time ago but I didn't like it. I still don't like it. Dinner, then partay! I wasn't feeling particularly well during the party. But I tried to have fun. The party started at 2030 and ended momentarily at 2100. My buddy told me that she was leaving already and said that she wanted me to send her off. I found that a little bit "dodgy" but I found that it wouldn't be nice to decline. So I followed her anyway. Apparently her parents had more gifts for me and she tricked me into following her so that they could give me the presesnts and give me a surprise! SURPRISE! There were a few communication related problems on my buddy's side so I hate to wait a little longer than expected. Also there were a few communication related problems on my side, which led to a bunch of flustered Victorians frantically searching for a now "MISSING" Damien. Yah but in the end they found me lah. I told the teachers, I didn't tell my friends. Haha. Sorry. tsk I hate story mode, it's damn hard to tell a story interestingly. The next day, we packed our crud and prepared to leave the NHZX campus for the Airport. Breakfast, another tiny farewell presentation, then we said our last goodbyes. How nice it was for my buddy to drop by again to send me off. Took pictures, said goodbye, recieved 5 apples, said goodbye. Took more pictures, said goodbye. Boarded the bus, waved goodbye. Watched buddies cry, waved goodbye. Awwww. Oh GOD I'm becoming like QUINN(who is labeled a Paedo by me)! TO ALL THE STUDENTS OF南海执信: 谢谢你的热情招待！ Post GuangZhou trip convo: Damien says: Later...

34 hours of no sleep.
written at 10:11 AM, 11/15/08 Back at school I worked on Victoriana a little bit. Azmi slept a while. A really short while, then he had to wake up and help Quinn with the Victorian. Oh right all three of us had no sleep since the night before. Then we had a meeting for the overseas exchange trip, prepped a couple of cameras for the trip starting Monday. And then Quinn and myself left for home while Azmi joined the Veloci-T people. By then it was about 5 in the evening going 6. I don't know how I survived till then. Anyway, yes, I'm going off to China in 2 days time. Ugh I don't really want to go. Wait let me change that to, "I REALLY don't want to go." Don't ask why I signed up in the first place. I guess the only thing good about it is that we'll get to experience constant, but slightly lower then air-conditioned temperature. Oh yah then we only managed to get 2 still cameras for the trip. I have to be the one to take videos. I personally don't really enjoy taking videos that much. It takes a freak load of standing still and not fidgeting. I can't do that. I'm me! Keh then till 7 days later!
Yesterday's news, today!
written at 10:15 PM, 11/9/08 Yesterday was really tiring for all who participated in Victoria's open house as Shit Work warriors, except maybe UG I think, right, Bing Yu? Wth lah go home so early, when the Media Clubbers just finish (that's us) he's already at home. After the whole thing I felt like I just played 2 hours worth of ground floor catching in school and then had a soccer match lasting an hour. My legs cramped up lah. I think our booth was particularly busy especially when cleaning up because Mr. Zabid smartly let the sec 2s do claywork in the learning studios, which are supposed to be spic and span. and the tables are not like ordinary tables, they're fancy mancy tables specially selected for the learning studios for utmost flexibility to conduct innovative lessons such as to spark interest in students! Mouthful! We spent a hell lot of time cleaning up later. Did I mention how much I hate talking to people? Thank goodness the seniors were there to help. I'm very grateful they were there, if not I'd die talking to a bunch of *nevermind*. Screwed up a couple of times. Mr. Wen Han was being so helpful and ignoring the parents completely, I had to address the whole lot myself at the start before the seniors came. Shit so embarrassing. I talk halfway then my mind went blank. "Ah, uhm. Yeah." Was all that came out. I hate talking to people. Oh and then the really eventful day a few days back. *flashback time* *reality fades away wavily...* The day before the open house, a tonna meetings cluttered up in the morning, so after that Azmi, Quinn and Myself decided, heck, we should just stay back and work on the zines. I was asked to help Mr. Zabid with the open house preperations with the afternoon so it waiting in the Media Lab while doing work *cough* seemed pretty productive. He said the night before that, "I will be there in the afternoon lah, after my Friday prayers ah..." And true to his word, he turned up at 5pm in the afternoon. Azmi and Quinn were FORCED to join me in my plight(yay). After a great load of moving things from the 6th floor down to the learning studio, Mr. Zabid gave us the laydown of what else was left to be done before promising us dinner, and then changing his mind and leaving to pick up his son and going home. I was assigned the job of printing the five A4 sized pieces of paper long, non-existant banner. Azmi and Quinn was assigned to pin up photographs and graphics on a large green display board in a artistic and aesthetic fashion. The banner goes above all the pictures and graphics. We slogged late into the night. I was alone in the Media lab. Twilight came, and I was "done" with the banner and brought along some files I might need for presentation in a large bulkey *now in advertiser's voice* 320GB hardisk that belongs soley to the Art Elective Programme! * end advertiser's voice* And hurried myself down to the Learning Studio, through the now dimly lit stairwells of school. Well only for one level, then I decided that no one's gonna blame me for taking the well-lit lift which is not so scarey. Down in the Learning Studio Azmi and Quinn were already done with the board. All that was left was for me to print the banner and pin it up. Yeah easier said than done. I made some errors in the design and it's freaking tedius to edit, it spans over five A4 sized sheets of paper. I took my time with the editing on the macs in the learning studio while Quinn and Azmi were nice enough to stay and wait for me though not nice enough to help me and give constructive comments. They sat there and talked cock a bit, and the conversation topic slowly drifted toward the paranormal and stuff, then somehow I joined the conversation saying that I have a candle on the bay of my balcony, a table without chairs also sitting in the balcony, a double bed, and one unused table in my room. Both of them were a little surprised of how much "thing" inviting things I have in my room, and I got a tiny bit more freaked out than I already was. Like most conversations, ours had occasional pauses in it, like a mass "take-a-deep-breath" moment. One particularly long one made me notice something. There was a Di Zi playing in the background since after lunch when we were there (A di zi is a chinese flute thing. Inaccurate, please don't flame.)now, or then, which was 7 going 8 in the evening. I brought it up to the two and they thought it was weird too, but then had no explanation for it, it was a lone Di Zi playing. Quinn called up Emercius, IC for the Di Zi Tuan and asked if there was any practise this hour, he said no. As soon as he put down the phone, the Di Zi stopped playing. A moment later the lights flickered mildly, I didn't see, I was freaked out then I closed my eyes and hid in a vacant box, which doesn't make much sense unless you're me. Azmi joined me in the not so spacious box, and the Di Zi started playing again. We all decided it was time to leave the studio and get home quick, so I didn't print the banner, and instead left it to be printed on the day itself. Our belongings and barang barang were all on the sixth floor, while rushing up, Quinn got left behind on the way to the lift. We looked back and saw a silhouette of him slowly disappearing in the darkness, and that was the last we saw of him. Lol joking. We went up to the lab, but to our dismay, it was locked! I suddenly had superhuman strength and managed to push open both doors. We grabbed our stuff and left the building hastily. I remember my hands shaking and the keys jingling while I was trying to lock up the lab. *reality starts to fade back in in waves...* And that was what happened on Saturday. WARNING, READ THE LONG WORDY FAILED ESSAY BEFORE YOU READ ON HERE FOR MAXIMUM ENTERTAINMENT. Unless you like to laugh at my flaws and my trip-ups. Yeah. On open house day we told Bing Yu about this via Skype after a DotA match and apparently he knew about the ghostly, lone Di Zi. Yeah it was just some PRC from the hostel who likes to go down to the pond to play at unearthly hours. According to Bing Yu he used to play on the stage over the pond, so when you look in the direction of the Di Zi from the canteen or anywhere but the field, all you see is a bunch of trees which is totally creepy. Yeah. Go ahead. Laugh at the guy who almost wet himself listening to a guy play his Di Zi. Ugh, more Victoriana tomorrow.
Supremely eventful day. Almost more that I asked for.
written at 12:04 AM, 11/8/08 Anyway, today is my school's open house. I'm hoping to get another five hours of sleep or more before I chiong the rest of the open house preparations tomorrow. I'm almost looking forward to the open house. ALMOST, but not. HAHA. -The guy who almost! Peed in his pants.
Why do I get this feeling that I have to do schoolwork?
written at 9:08 PM, 11/6/08 Well obviously you guys aren't interested in this wordy stuff. I wouldn't be. So here, the productive bit of my holidays. 602BLOG! I did it under 3 hours so don't expect much. It was just an excuse to play with brushes lah. I like my word links now!
The guy who made Bing Yu walk away his fats.
written at 6:21 PM, 11/5/08 So I was being a good boy, and going home. Hmm, I wanted to attend the barbecue though. (I gained 3 kg in a month.) Must be all that chocolates. I just realized that I always have a packet or plate of sweet-things on my desktop, most of the time containing chocolate. *munch munch* Mmm anti-depressants. And my cool shades. I think I should wear them out sometime. 
Doesn't understand why people like taking pictures of themselves with the camera blocking their face.
written at 5:55 PM, 11/4/08 Well, last night I felt really sad, then this morning I felt determined, then I felt frustrated, after lunch I felt full. Which reminds me, if any of you really like Maggie brand noodles, especially the chicken flavoured one you should put a tablespoon full of garlic chili sauce into it tastes great. And then I felt a little better when my mom helped me out while verbally attacking all you internet dwellers. She called us NOLIFERS! GASP. Okay, no she just said our heads were more or less empty while we are and a lot of other details I will leave out. I really can't believe I'm still surfing now though. I'm so going to die tomorrow. I have about 2px spacing worth of confidence in that paper. I am going to DIE.
I am in the *beep* *beep*
written at 1:20 PM, 11/3/08 PRESSY!  YAY I like this. Okay I'm going to eat in KFC and then I'm going home. -----------------------(line break! yeap its me! azmi. hogging the keyb*oa*rd now,) letters within the stars added by damien. Yeah only he does that, and ziyad, requested secretly by azmi. Maybe I should try out my own paragraph breaks! *deleted section because it sucked.* Or maybe something CASHY like: (get it? CASHY? catchy?) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Can people help me think of titles for Victoriana? I got one for Racial Harmony day: Racial Riot! It sounds not so right but people who are smart like Aidil and myself get it. Azmi finds it more fun to watch me write my blog than actually reading my blog later. "No it's not really. What the hell?" Sorry azmi. For being an arse. Don't mind me it's my convo with him now. I wonder if you can guess what he's saying while you see what I'm saying. wah veh bo liao
读书乐，乐无穷。
written at 10:53 PM, 11/2/08 Quote from the 2007 Examination Prep Guide: “。。。我们应该珍惜目前所拥有的学习环境，别动不动就闹情绪、耍脾气，认为读书是一件苦差， 而随意放弃。” Yes the words in bold is what I've been doing. Don't know when I'm going to change though. I feel like an immature brat now. For the non-chinese. Bold phrase 1: Throwing tantrums. Bold phrase 2: To feel that studying is such a drag. Bold phrase 3: Give-up anyhowly. Good luck for O's. HAHA new cereal, Dead4'Os (old joke.)
By far every day of my everyday ends up like this. (weekday everyday)
written at 11:38 AM, 11/1/08 Brunch from 10.30 to 11.00 Work on Victoriana from 11 to 4 or 5 or 6 in the evening With undefined breaks in the period I'm doing the magazine. *wink* *WINK*. *winks both eyes together* And we also do other dangerous stuff in the *deleted section of post three seconds after being post up* Much of the content censored to ensure the saftey of individuals involved. You just MIGHT figure out who they are and what they did, but chances are slim.
My phone is OPERATIONAL. Please acknowledge.
written at 10:50 PM, 10/27/08 I'm always available! Well, almost. Almost always. Except for weekday mornings. And at night. Not a 24 hour thing. Yeah. I'd post my number up, but then I'm afraid someone will call me and then stalk me. Because I'm so popular. Not. HAHA. Still waiting... *stares at phone* OH IT'S VIBRATING! Oh. Batteries.

written at 10:05 PM, 10/26/08 What's making the most out of life, if we're all gonna die? I'm catholic, but I'm a really unfaithful one, and I more or less believe that when we die we probably won't have anything left of us, as in we won't have concious thought anymore. That means, we won't feel satisfaction, no regret, we feel nothing. What is making the most out of life? We just don't want to die because of that little bit in our brain telling us not to, instinct of survival? So I guess that's the only why we live. We live to stay alive. And reproduce. And also I think that HSM3 stinks because it supposed to be a children's show and so much crap got out about the girl in the show and the starring guy in the show had some *woohoo* and pictures went online and i-can't-believe-disney-went-on-to-make-more-shows-of-them. Real names not used so sick people won't land in my blog. I'm sure Walt Disney would have stopped production. Stupid Roy Disney. I bet it's his fault. HAHA. Yay Stepmania and DJmax rocks my undergarments. EDIT: AFTERBATH! YAY I'm naked and have no undiesssss. That sucks. I hate not having undies, it's rellly uncomfortable to walk around with my dangly bits swinging around. I wonder if the neighbours can see my dangly bits from here... *waves* Don't think so.
Not wanting makes you stupid.
written at 9:48 PM, 10/25/08 Technically, everything materialistic in this world is totally pointless, because we're all gonna die anyway, and that is why people seek meaning in having to be present in this tangible space we call the universe. Well, since this is my blog and all, this is no longer going to be such a general thing, it's going to be a me thing. My mom says I have a bad attitude towards life. I don't know, I think I need a psychiatrist. I just, don't want anything anymore. Not wanting anything just makes it so much easier to you know, live. The more you want, the more upsets and unhappiness you encounter, but also, the more you want to move forward. The more you want, the more you REALLY want. No, there's no typo there. I think maybe wanting makes a person improve himself. To overcome an obstacle to get to a goal, the "want". And of course, there's the right way of getting what you want, and the wrong way. I suddenly don't feel like typing anymore, PSP time. May edit later.
October's picture
written at 11:57 PM, 10/24/08  This is by far the first picture I've taken this October. Okay, exclusive of the pictures I take for the school. October's rain is so wonderful. Really, I mean it always sorta rains heavily when I'm inside, but when I'm outside, it either subsides to a soft drizzle, or stops completely. I love the smell after the rain, it's similar to the smell of dew in the morning. Don't know why. Doesn't everyone? I think I like it reminds me of what happened in the past few years, most of the memories especially vivid from this year. I'm feeling a little moody now. I ticked off my mom yesterday and haven't spoken to her since. I was just being really childish lah. Come to think of it, this year is the year that I've ticked of my mom for the most number of times. This is also the year that many relationships between me and my seniors, or me and my teachers, broke. Now, I'm not exactly sure if they did or not, but I'm quite sure they did. Or maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me. What I do know, I shan't say, assumptions may hurt people. That's one thing I learned not to do, from my mom. I still remember just last year, school was so much more of a homely place than anywhere else. I guess things change huh. It could just be me lah, I've changed, so my perception changes, I see things differently. As much as I would LOVE to blame my bad grades on my CCA, I don't do much for it anyway, even though I'm constantly saying that I do, well, I don't, I procrastinate, a lot. I'm going to try to not get too fat-headed when saying this, but teachers, friends and my parents seem to see potential in me. I honestly don't. Or is that just and excuse to not work so hard anymore. Okay this post is getting to lengthy and whiney. And I need to bathe!
Hobo is Oboh spelt backwards.
written at 6:38 PM, 10/22/08 Not playing DotA anymore. DotA stinks because I stink at it. I'm currently chionging my Monster Hunter Freedom 2 game! LUNASTRA HORNS HERE I COME!
If I didn't study for the exams, and there's sort of a study debt thing going on, do I start studying now?
written at 3:06 PM, 10/20/08 PHY - B4 CHEM - B4 BIO - A2 AEP - C5? EL - C5? EM - C5? Currently standing at 25 points, my L1R5 is looking horrible. If there was really a sort of Study Debt kind of thing going on, I'd probably be hitting my books now, but obviously it barely ever works that way. Psst. A maths, Chinese and Combined Humanities failed! Great. Bad grades, bad hair, I'm on my way on becoming a hobo.
Mah hair's sou lung, I cun be ah gurl.
written at 11:36 AM, 10/18/08 I'd take a picture for you to see, but I don't have a proper camera!(excuses) Crap I'm so bored. The holidays haven't even started yet. This is bad. I'm probably going to engage myself in stupid things again. Walk around the city maybe? Bring my blades along just in case. Come to think of it, this is just what my dad would do, I remember him asking the whole family to go on a road trip with him around Singapore. Doesn't sound like much, but it's fun, if you just take it slow, even with no particular motive in mind. Especially so if you head out in the morning, from like 9 to 11? Or maybe I can go to the beach. Or maybe not, it's really crowded during the holiday periods. Oh yah, there's that chinese 'O' level examination. Wah lao. I cannot make it one lah. I wish learning chinese was as easy as flipping a switch. Yeah and the more I look at this blog the more i don't really like it. TO THE DRAWING BOARD! THIS JUST IN. "Becaus' ah've gut pepples, arund meh, and dey ahr kritik-syzin mah effrey muv. Sou ah kernot luk uhr eppear efflected, und I kernot beh dooin anithun stoopits. Wich mens I kernot du anithin'."

Yah then another thing, was just talking about AEP stuff with Aidil the other day and then, /\\ || |)) || ||_: im a slacker wif a capital S!!!!IN OTHER NEWS. I walked in the drizzle today for at least 10 minutes to reach home. Now I think I'm about to catch a, ahh, AHcHHoOOld. Also I'm considering making a flashy link unique to each person who has their name on the links column. Okay work hard attitude just left me. I don't feel like making flashy links anymore. AND AZMI! Fighting over for a word so we won't be posers is so 'in' nowadays maaanzz.CONTRADICTORY!
OMGWTFBBQ MY DAD BOUGHT WICKED AWESOME CHOCOLATE FROM LONDON.
written at 6:05 PM, 10/15/08 And the most boliao convo ever.
WOOO SECOND POST TODAY!
written at 6:59 PM, 10/14/08 I'm really bored, so I'm going to do a tutorial on how to make those flashy buttons on my sidebar!!! WOOHOO. First of, I'll run you by the things you should need:Okay so for starters, you open your Image manipulating software. I highly recommend photoshop or flash, whichever you're comfortable with. For now it's just a matter of designing your button. For a grungy sort of feel, you can do like what I did. Brushes, diagonal lines, brushes, erasing. TIP#1. GRADIENTS. USE GRADIENTS. Because then when your button lights (you get a "WEEEEE" feeling) up it'll look more real because then there's a change in tone. More later.  Remember, don't use weird colours like red and blue together. Get a theme straight for your blog and work with shadows and highlights, like the darker parts and lighter parts of your button. Don't have too large a change in colour. For this gradient I have only two stops, two different shades of yellow. TIP#2&3. BORDERS and BRUSHES!  It'll be good that you add a border to your image, be it via styling in your HTML, or directly on the image itself. BORDER/STROKE in PhotoshopFor the links in my sidebar I used dry media brushes, and a combination of erasing and brushing. How you wish to decorate your link is to your own liking, but adhere to the colour scheme you have decided for your blog. Mine is yellow and black. Can see right?! HAHA.Double Click Layer to stroke > Select Stroke from the Style list Whatever the case, for Photoshop users, if you're going to doodle some stuff on your link button to beautify it, be sure to do it on a new layer, so if you screw up you can just delete the ruined layer and start on a new one. NEWLAYER in PhotoshopWINDOWS: CTRL+SHIFT+N, then ENTER. TIP#4. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND STUFF, but remember, in many occasions, less is more.  If you're going to put any thing in the background in your link, try not to make the background elements to distracting, try to make them as inconspicuous as you can while still retaining the asthetic qualities. Again, whatever you want to add, do it on new layers. The diagonal strips are done using a pen tool, stroked on with a basic brush, then cloned many times over with equal spacing. Flash users will have to save images as GIF and PNG files, because only those files are able to contain transparency data, and also the file sizes are smaller, so as to ensure quicker loading on your blog or whatever. Exporting images from flashWAH THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG. I give up. HAHA. SEE YAH!File > Export > Export Image...
Chem was cake. AEP kinda stunk.
written at 5:47 PM But AEP is different from chem in that you are able to see the final result and probably what grade you'll be getting as soon as you finish your final piece. Which is really demoralizing, but hey, it's the 2nd last exam for SA2! I'd post up the final piece but it wasn't allowed to leave the exam hall. Just image a LARGER, macro verson of the previous post, and the guy has a red mohawk, and the background is gone, only a bluish black cloudy sort of empty space. And the large welding arms are highlighted yellow such that the backmost parts of the machines can't be seen. Aiyah if I get a good grade for that painting I'll post it up lah. HAHA. HAPPY HOLIDAYS PEOPLE. IN ADVANCE.
If you don't see a "completed final" post by 10pm tonight,
written at 3:46 PM, 10/13/08  Sucks badly I know, but it's rushed work, can't help it manzz. I'll probably be hugging my knees and crying, if I don't finish by 10pm, then at 10.15pm I'll be playing DotA. Wish me luck!
You look so FINE!
written at 10:10 PM, 10/12/08 This song is so FUNKEY. Hooray exams are on the verge of ending. I already feel like celebrating! No more really stressful exams, apart from AEP of course, damn the 3 hour long exam. Okay all of a sudden I don't feel so secure because the part twos of each paper was set really easily (although I still didn't manage to do well for them) and I'm afraid that they will set the part ones of each paper really difficult just to prove a point, and then I'll be eating my words about saying that these papers were relatively non-stressful. But then again if I'm lucky the papers won't be so difficult. HAHA! Wish me luck, especially those people who have already finished their exams who don't need a lot of luck at all. Yeah and so I've been thinking, and I forgot who it was who told me to sit down and ask myself what exactly is it that I really, really want, and work to it. And of course, I nodded my head like everything was sinking in, but didn't actually reach me. Just a while ago (which was a long time after the person whoever it is told me), I've tried to think of what I really want, and I realized that I really didn't want anything, or I knew I want something but I just didn't know that I did yet, maybe until later. So as of now, I really don't know what I want, wants as in a happy family, or a well-paying job, or maybe just to slack-off at home with my mom until either of us die first. And then I came to a conclusion that, in order to not feel all depressed and teary before you die, one MUST fulfill his desires. So if you were told to die now but you don't want to, then you still have desires. Okay here, beLIEve, here's your really lengthy, brainless post. I like the song.

written at 8:37 PM, 10/7/08 Right and my phone has just been sent for repair, I won't be able to be contacted for the next 3 to 4 days, and for those who own W760i series of walkman phones, you might want to go down to Sony Ericsson to update your firmware. It's much less laggy according the the guys down at the shop. Again, good luck for EOYs. |
