12/28/08, 9:19 PM: Mothballs are super special candy that you should never eat.
I'm wondering if you were to tell a 10 year old that, he would go ahead and eat the mothballs once your head's turned for a second.

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.
12/27/08, 9:34 PM: Essential update (boring)
Phone's been down since before Christmas Eve. I apologise if I have not acknowledeged any Christmas wishes or missed out on important notices. I've got a temporary phone, but my messages are saved on the broken phone so I still can't read messages older that today.

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".
12/24/08, 11:40 AM: The effect of boredom
Take the free personality test!
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.
12/23/08, 7:41 PM: I GOT MUSIC FROM BY AND AZMI THANKSSSS.
DAN FOGELBERG ROCKS.
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.
12/21/08, 9:12 PM: Second weekend update. Christmas is soon, I want money.
Hello! I completed a blogskin today! It's for Hwa Chong's ARES Faculty Blog! My sister is the Ares Faculty Commitee Public Relation whaddaha, so she was assigned to do the blog. Grpahics are all by her, I coded everything else though.

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:
2 dollars each. Double as water-guns. HAHA gardening. Yeah RIGHT!
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.
12/20/08, 9:45 AM: Christmas in 5 days. No christmas tree.
Also the real deadline for Victoriana was over weeks ago. Now the not so real deadline is now before christmas. Haha Victoriana's finishing anyway. What I'm afraid of is the post production editing. I hope it doesn't take too long.

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 . Wah pity I can't really post much up. If you want to find out you have to volunteer to write an article for The Victorian(because it's not done, only Victoriana is). To those who don't know, The Victorian is our yearbook, and Victoriana is the school magazine.

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.
12/18/08, 8:28 PM: Damien is less than three macs.
Uh-huh. I just tried to "F9" my Windows lappy. Ugh, processing photos again today. Not complaining though. It's better than doing homework or writing articles for my zine. Though I will have to write an article, and finish my homework soon either way.

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:
woa dude you look. different.
Damien says:
I'm hot.
Damien says:
haha diao lame.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
i see.
Damien says:
yeah I do.
Damien says:
I realize that. My brain's still the same though.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
haha.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
uhuh.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
nice goggles
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
i mean specs.
Damien says:
yuz.
Damien says:
haw haw how's LIFE.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
LIFE is average.
Damien says:
mm. it's mean.
Damien says:
(pun)
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
HAHA.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
(got it)
Damien says:
nice erm, pink font.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
haha.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
pink's the new BLACK.
Damien says:
oh. cool.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
haha
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
*coughs* black font.
Damien says:
I thought it was the new black last year
Damien says:
or something.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
haha
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
black nvr returned though.
Damien says:
I take pride in doing outdated things.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
haha.
Gnap Gnew Gnof says:
great.
Damien says:
have fun!
Damien says:
oh and happy christmas and have a merry new year.
12/17/08, 9:42 PM: I can't think of a decent title now
Dumb and dumber picture of me just for laughs. The left image is courtesy of Tanby in Sec2, the right shot is taken by Azmi just a few days or so ago.

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.
12/13/08, 10:56 PM: Hey moon, please forget to fall down.

04 Northern Downpour (Song).mp3 - Panic At The Disco
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.
10:43 AM: Verbal assurance is always okay.
Haha. I was searching for some restaurant to go write about for Victoriana, and then I came across this really good site, zabihah.com while searching for good halal food destinations in Singapore. At that site you can search up halal food from all over the world, and after selecting a specific country, they'll provide you with zonal categories to choose from. Then they list the food outlets available in the selected zone, and will give you the details of each stall, like its address, halal authenticity, availability of alcohol and what not.

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:
verbal assurance from staff?! I think not.
Haha quite bullshit lah if you ask me.
12/11/08, 7:41 PM: The previous post is a joke.
Though my mom did really go kablooie, and I'm guessing she still is. And I'm also thinking that she probably will explode again if she sees me playing later. So I'm taking a huge risk!

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 have
This:as my profile picture.
HAHA.
12/10/08, 8:30 PM: Dear Dad, (who's now in Cambodia)
Mom's gone ballistic. Please come home soon. I swear I had nothing to do with it. With any luck, you just might be able to attend my funeral.

12/6/08, 10:20 AM: Weekly post time!
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 subordinates coworkers in Media Club who really like steal my specs and try them on. They go like, "Eh Damien, nice new specs! Let me try them on." No wait that's Nicholas. "Can I try them on?" Quinn would say, pervily, then followed by a pervy smile. Oh man the way he says it is like scarring lah. Okay inaccurate story. I exaggerate stuff on this blog. That said, Quinn's perv/paedo acting is very convincing.
12/4/08, 7:25 PM: Holy shit did'ya see that?
12/3/08, 9:50 PM: Today's nice pictures. Not a real post. Not counted.
Taken at home, when my sis opened a packet of this Japanese sweet-thing. I'm not sure what it's name is. But I think it's just some red beans stuffed into a dome shaped biscuit.

Victoria's new Indoor Sports Hall! It's still being built though. And kind of in the way of our old basketball court.


Haha. Pictures are huge. YAY.
