horror.

WIN HON reads our blogs! and i have a very very strong feeling that he read mine =P

ho ho. anyway, today's chem lesson had one of the highest casualty rates ever. at least 3 ppl got burnt on different parts of their arm, and at least 2 more exploded their test tubes due to washing them while they're hot. darren chew must be having fun with his gauze dressings now =P

oh yeah. core math was rather interesting too. with win hon the "human compass"..man..he sounds like a superhero here..along the lines of the human torch =D

gah. chem test tmr. i want to sleep

blah. tag board is still down.

oh yeah. today was a fun and exciting day =D

especially during a math.

win hon is a rather cool teacher. today he was teaching us about the PRODUCT of composite functions for differentiation. or something like that. and when he was giving us the equation, he suddenly turned around and said something along the lines of "this, my friends, is the beauty of mathematics!" in his win hon loud voice and with his hands raised outwards. (if anyone who can remember would be so kind enough to give me the exact quote, please do. i was too busy laughing).

then there was the incident when niche was doing stuff to me like coming up behind me and pushing my head down. then i threw a paper ball at him and he threw it back at me. but WIN HON caught him throwing the paper ball back at me, and made him stand up. the fatty of course, stood up. but the moment win hon started writing on the board again, he sat back down. like one period after, win hon noticed that fatty was sitting down, and then proceeded to engage in a hilarious argument with him, if i'm not wrong, also along the lines of the beauty of mathematics. and it ended very cheesily. i totally forgot abt this thing cuz it was too funny. once again, i'd be much obliged if someone would fill me in on this =D.

then theres the wesley part. that ah pek was sitting all the way behind, next to niche, because IAN CHEONG decided to run away next to xide or smth. yeah. then win hon was saying how enthusiastic our class seems today, due to all the loud noise we made while answering all his qns. then wesley blurted out, "we're all having fun learning math!"

and win hon spun around, and walked towards the ah pek, and suddenly said, "BUT YOU CANNOT SEE!" (due to wesley stil not having replaced his specs he lost in the sewerage at kluang).

lol. then a few seconds after, he continued. "BUT! even though wesley cannot see, he is still paying attention with his EARS. and HEART!"

"wesley is a very positive student!"

hahahahahhahaha.

anyway, i went to sim lim after sch with HENRY and IAN today. while i was typing this out, i just realised that what i've typed so far is somewhat similar in content to what IAN wrote. so i shall just be lazy and kope wholesale =D

"Went with Henry and Fish to collect his dumbo computer at Simlim, which was sent for repairs. Haiyo. That guy. He sent it for repairs at the "first store he could find", which was run by this old man and his grumpy wife. That crackpot took forever to get the job done. It was supposed to be done last week. Then, last sunday. Then, when we went there, he told us it would take about 1 hour, and i had to leave my handphone number with him so he could call back when it was done. He never called back. When we decided to go back and kar chao him, he disappeared from the shop. Maybe he just took the computer and ran away with it. Apparently it was very hard to fix. We were all speculating on the costs of the repairs. Fish told henry, "maybe he wont fix it in the end. He'll just keep the computer and say QIAN WO YI QIAN KUAI!". Well, we came back soon after with the intention of hooting him, then he gave henry a smelly piece of RAM and told him to exchange it for a new one at the shop upstairs. Henry had left his bag in the shop, and we were spending an awfully long time running around looking for some obscure shop upstairs. Speculation now was maybe he just gave henry a burnt piece of old RAM, sent us walking around in circles upstairs, and closed the shop while he was at it. I tell you, this is how you think once you get conned too often.

Bah. Next time I repair for you lah. pok.

Anyway, henry finally got it done at 6pm++. Meanwhile, as henry negotiated with the old man, fish and I entertained ourselves with the huge luo han in the shop. It's damn stupid. The old lady had just put a bunch of guppies in the tank for dinner, but the blind bat never seemed to notice them. Hence fish and I decided to make it follow our fingers, along the tank, to the guppies. The brainless momo kept sprinting towards our fingers and knocking its head on the tank. One time we put our fingers on the far end of the tank, and it accelerated all the way there and made a really loud "PLONK" noise on the tank. Ouch. Even the old lady manning the telephone could hear that. Nowonder luohans all have this permanent baalookoo on their foreheads..

So henry carried this huge box in a red plastic bag, all the way home! And he lived happily ever after."

lol..yeah. so that was mostly it. the luohan was very dumb.

goodbye

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith - 2 Timothy 4:7

i'm BACK.

dumb mat land trip left me with a badly running nose, sore throat and a weird fever that comes and goes every few hours without taking medication. oh well. hope it goes off too. didn't really enjoy this trip as much as i did with the sec 2 and 3 OEPs, mainly cuz i was mildly sick throughout the whole thing, and i got less than 8 hours of sleep throughout the entire 4 days and 3 nights. slept for 14 hours yesterday to today. yay.

all we did was uh..do some night walk on the first day, rafting and canoeing on the second, had some SEARCH FOR PENDANT thing, hike up some weird gunung, and also a campfire on the third.

lol. on the first day in school, when tim lim or someone told 4.9 to board the bus, our dear catchphrase maker wesley said: "the time has come" in his scary wesley voice. hence it became the catchphrase of the day

the trip started off quite well. with ian lin bringing out a packet of white rabbit sweets and 'giving' them to people by throwing it at their heads. or smth. soon half the bus was bombarding each other with sweets and other sorts of small packet food. oh yea. during the trip, a certain 'cool guy' couldn't really control his bladder. and the bus driver couldn't really stop anywhere. so our dear wesley had to pee in a paper bag in a ziploc bag at the back of the bus while everyone there (including me) had to evacuate to the forward section of the bus while he took his piss at the corner of the bus =P just before he pissed, we all were going "The time has come" ahahahah.

yeah. and so we reached the place. we were greeted by hordes and hordes of cows and a few horses and donkeys here and there. smelly place. all the lembu shit so much all over the floor. we pitched our tents in the afternoon, had dinner, then went for NIGHT WALK. night walk was just a walk in the night in the whole plantation. then we went to sleep. the tent inside so hot and so cramped, with 8 of us in it. and HENRY next to me snoring like what. so i din really get to sleep. and nick koh kept waking up and talking to us even though we were sleeping. and IAN CHEONG was outside with the airbed. alamak.

second day. we went to build raft. 4 barrels and 5 pipes and lots of rope, to carry 15 people across some muddy pond. in the end, most of us just jumped into the river and pushed the stupid raft across. then canoeing. the canoes were all in a bad condition, and most of them had natural ecosystems within the canoe itself, with multitudes of ants and spiders and crickets inhabiting them. and mine even gave me a fiberglass splinter through my fingernail. so we just canoed here and there..ya. this night, i decided to sleep outside the tent. around 1 in the morning i felt cold, so i went into the tent instead. soon i was wondering why henry wasn't snoring. then i turned over and looked. there was IAN CHEONG. who was originally sleeping outside too. in the morning, henry was complaining about ian cheong taking up so much space cuz he was sleeping diagonally across the tent.

"...but his ass kept coming back!" - henry, commenting on ian cheong's ass intruding into his space.

yep. the third day, we had some weird activity that involved going around searching for dumb pendants. only one eventful thing happened. while along this road, there was this black bull standing in the middle of it. nick koh then took a long stick from choong wei, and told us that he was going to chase the bull away. as he was walking towards the bull, it suddenly turned back, and gave a loud MOO. and nick koh ran away..hahahahaa. stupid fatty.

"it was a mating call" - Wesley, referring to that incident.

then we climbed some hill. kaleni is hilarious. refuses to touch tree roots cuz it'll get his hands dirty. at one point while going down a rather steep incline, he slipped and kept holding on to a rope while trying to get a foothold on the mud, which he could have easily done if he took a root instead of the rope. and he kept screaming and screaming like he was going to die or smth while daniel loh was next to him trying to get him to hold on to the roots. lol. talking abt kaleni, there was this incident that happened in the tent.

*kaleni sees a cricket in the tent*
"ahhHH! ian lin! get that thing out of here!" - kaleni
*ian catches the cricket*
"nah. you waaaant?" - ian lin, holding the cricket to kaleni
"he waaaant" - me
*ian throws the cricket at kaleni*

and he started screaming and jumping around in the tent and out of it and trying to spray it with his shieldtox and stuff..lol.

then at night, we had campfire. oh ya. we had to do some performance, and NEH NEH NAIL was the "action leader". he's hilarious. i shall put up all my pics of him dancing soon. yeah. father abraham was very interesting. ppl like poh and hoe just kept going "father abraham!" and jumping around doing stupid actions.

oh ya. on this day in the afternoon, we had a shitting party. a few of us couldn't hold out anymore, hence we went to the toilets en masse and shat. shit shat shut. yeah. after shitting, something rather retarded happened.

*ian lin puts on his cap angling it down with the thing sticking out covering his eyes*
"you cannot see me, i cannot see you" - ian
"SPECTRAL SIGHT!" - ian
*ian lin walks into a drain*

haha. crazy people. yeah. that night, we played soccer until 3am in the morning, and then i went to bathe. then the next day, we took bus HOME. halfway, we stopped at some shopping centre, and then went to eat at KFC. ian lin bought a chicky meal >.< then we went to GIANT. where we all bought a lot of things.

at the customs, chew was arrested for bringing in a lot of chewing gum. well, not actually arrested la. they just koped the gum and took down his address and stuff.

then we went home to SLEEP.

anyway..this trip has certainly been more eye opening than anything else. learnt many unpleasant things about the people around me. on the other hand, i feel rather satisfied, as i did all the activities even though i was afflicted with that annoying fever, runny nose and sore throat of mine. how nice.

ha ha. alright. i'll go have lunch now. CHIAK CHUA

Mutant Marsupials Take Up Arms Against Australian Air Force

"The reuse of some object-oriented code has caused tactical headaches for Australia's armed forces. As virtual reality simulators assume larger roles in helicopter combat training , programmers have gone to great lengths to increase the realism of the their scenarios, including detailed landscapes and -- in the case of the Northern Territory's Operation Phoenix -- herds of kangaroos (since groups of disturbed animals might well give away a helicopters position).

The head of the Defense Science and Technology Organization's Land Operations/Simula

tions division reportedly instructed developers to model the local marsupials' movements and reaction to helicopters.

Being efficient programmers, they just re-appropriated some code originally used to model infantry detachments reactions under the same stimuli, changed the mapped icon from a soldier to a kangaroo, and increased the figures' speed of movement.

Eager to demonstrate their flying skills for some visiting American pilots, the hotshot Aussies "buzzed" the virtual kangaroos in low flight during a simulation. The kangaroos scattered, as predicted, and the Americans nodded appreciatively . . . and then did a double-take as the kangaroos reappeared from behind a hill and launched a barrage of stinger missiles at the hapless helicopter. (Apparently the programmers had forgotten the remove "that" part of the infantry coding).

The lesson? Objects are defined with certain attributes, and any new object defined in terms of the old one inherits all the attributes. The embarrassed programmers had learned to be careful when reusing object-oriented code, and the Yanks left with the utmost respect for the Australian wildlife.

Simulator supervisors report that pilots from that point onwards have strictly avoided kangaroos, just as they were meant to."

heh heh. what a cool article. oh well.. leaving for mat land on monday for the dunno how many-th time for some "leadership development programme" or smth. sigh. i don't have any insecticide. i think i shall go buy tmr. repellent is too lousy.

and lots of milo too.

ah well.. prolly won't post anything till we get back on the uh...(17 + 3) th.

until then, take care everyone else. ta ta

super durable head was smashed by a more durable head

hahaha. today, qiao zhi walked into the VCR and he died. well. actually the VCR died. he just lay on the floor. hahahahaha. very cool. the entire front section of the VCR came off. oh man i sound so mean. but it's funny.

ian lin is eccentric. and henry got a new hard disk. indian man soliciting for business called me a 'stupid guy'. sometimes, i wish i wasn't in my school uniform when such things happen. but nvm.

tralala. doggy and NICHE got a blog. its very stupid

gah. i got whacked by public transport yesterday.

the bus from sch to dover mrt was horrible. it was quite crowded. but the worst part was the driver. he accelerates super fast but drives very slow (kinda unbelievable eh), so everyone was like falling when the traffic lights turned green and everytime he left a bus stop. it seemed like the longest bus ride i ever had, cuz the guy drove so slowly. argh. and the MRT ride was kinda horrible too. cuz for the first time in many years, i did not have space to lean on the door. then there was this crazy long haired monkey face guy that was wearing these super huge HEADPHONEs on him. not earphones. HEADPHONES. and he really looked like a monkey, except his face was really white. and he kept moving back and forth and kept hitting me. gah. stupid primates.

oh. today was fun. we played with plants in bio. well...actually more of plasticine. me and IAN have some rather good shots of our experimental set up. i think he has one on his blog...

NEH NEH NAIL FANG PI.

yep. nick koh was talking to me(as usual) during chinese, and we were at the bottom right corner of the classroom. then suddenly he said "who farted?". hmm. i din smell any trace of fart, so i din say anything. but lo and behold, ian lin was giggling at the other side of the classroom, the top left. and neh neh nail too, his face all red. then chiou yann asked those 2 crazy people "SHEN ME SHI". the reply she got (from ian lin), "NEH NEH NAIL FANG PI". surprising how nick koh could detect fart all the way across the classroom though o.O

oh and ian lin fell of the chair today. rather badly actually. it was kinda laughable, especially when he landed square on his butt >.< though it must have hurt =X hmm i just saw ian lin's blog..with all the starcraft pics. maybe i should chuck a few of that game here as well

alright..captions are below the pics =D
all my cool cloaked guys shooting up IAN's battlecruisers


more cool cloaked guys whacking IAN LIN's base


death from above =D finishing wesley's island


Victory parade =D


what it might look like from the ground =P


oh ya. contrary to what his blog says, he did not win. he quit =P (look at the minimaps on the bottom left) thats why his turret here wasn't firing back at me =D

but i must say, his dropship D-Day on wesley was cool...

yep. thats all from me. goodbye

so the first week of school has ended. and it feels so strange to be home on saturdays now. five day week seems better actually =)

gah. now the homework is slowly coming in. i forgot most of my bio stuff already. stupid 50 qn MCQ. ahhh. and theres that differenciation thing. i still don't really get those. oh well. soon i will. i hope. ahh.

hmm. anyway, we had cca presentations for the sec 1 orientation on thursday. the presentations and booth thing was supposed to end by 4. but chan chee wei was talking in the CPA for so long. went up so many times to see and he was still talking. so me and IAN went to the cyberac where phuan and SOOOOOOOON KAI and all the other gep compserve ppl were there. and we fiddled around with their weird comps whose monitors were facing outwards. and i played starcraft there! and i whacked the ZERG with probes =D hey wes ian or HENRY. if you're reading this, wanna play sc anytime soon? i'm bored.

ohya. i forgot. henry's computer died. ha ha ha. dumb henry. your computer MIELT DOWN. hahahaha (note: i know very well how to spell meltdown)

yeah. anyway, after 4 something. or 5. somewhere there, all the sec ones started streaming in. most of them were going to the BB booth and taking oreos from them, and going out to the pond behind our booth to play with the BB's toys. according to JONG, they only play their toys once a year. so dumb. at one point, jong used our ropes to tie the doors shut, and a few of the sec ones who wanted to go to the pool couldn't go. hahaha. so fun

then yesterday we had ncc. gareth as usual takes dunno how long to make a point. and i think he's too idealistic about some things. oh shoot. i just remembered. i think i forgot to call some of the part Ds to go for the prof test today. argh. well, about the CLT course at the end of the year, i have to say i'm not really keen on it. got other plans for those 3 weeks >.< blah. we'll see how it goes. hmm. had dinner at pastamania at funan with some of the ncc peeps. walking in light rain at night does feel a little weird. dont' know why.

ahh. i need to do homework.

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and opens your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so no one can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life.... You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the mind. It's a soul hurt, a body hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

--Neil Gaiman

ah. so fun.

neh neh nail is a chee ko pek.

today in class, he was staring out of the window. as most of you know, our classroom window has a nice view of the sports complex thing of UWC. so neh neh nail was staring out of the window, obviously at the ang mor girls there. so ian cheong or nick koh said "eh neh neh nail, staring at the girls playing tennis ah?"

then neh neh nail and his wonderful reply. "no! i'm staring at those playing touch rugby!"

ha ha ha ha.

drat. i have to do chinese zuo wen. and its 2150 already =(

And so it begins...

a new school term...and it dawned onto me, that i don't think i'll ever wear any shorts or berms to school or work anymore for the rest of my life. hmm. so as they said. new year, new beginning, start the year with a clean slate, and keep it that way. actually, they're WRONG. got holiday homework. and all, I NEVER DO. well. so did almost everyone else. do we have chinese tmr? if we do we're in for a nice lesson =D

we have this cool new math teacher...he's called mr chan win hon. his name is rather interesting. it'd still look alright if you put a g at the end of all 3 words of his name. hmm. new teachers are always fun. because we all have to introduce ourselves =D hmm. i found ian lin's introduction rather amusing.

*ian lin stands up*
"hello. i'm ian lin. i like two things"
at this point, he sounded very serious. like he was going to give a speech.
"firstly, i like my long pants" and he moved his leg upwards and grabbed his pants
"secondly, i like green tea"
eek. crazy boy >.<

hmm. a few other interesting things happened today. oh ya. like HENRY.

yeah, sam chan gave out food today. mostly sweets and stuff. among them were a few boxes of after eight mints, for the teachers, along with the m&ms and mars bars for the class. all on the teacher's table. so our dear henry, he walked up to the teacher's table, and took a box of after eight mints and brought it back to his table. and after a short debate on who should open the wrapper, henry started unwrapping it. well, we din noe the mints were for the teachers at this point, and suddenly, BILL PILL told henry "Leon! those are meant for the teachers!"

lol. dumb henry.

oh yes. and ian lin knocked a whole roll of toilet paper into a semi-wet sink during bio while cutting celery.

ah well. and so it goes on. work work. i shall go run around now
