I Lead a Normal Life

It's Been a While

2011-12-13T07:40:00.001-08:00

Yo~!

It's been a while :) Can't say that this holiday is the most fun one, but it is definitely quite eventful and somewhat productive :/

Targets before next year :

Finish SMO book and understand solutions
Review SIMO Junior + Senior notes
Read French and Chinese
Do Chinese Revision
Read SJPhO and SJChO notes
Become masterful at Piano

RAWR.

Best of luck to all those in RCYC 2011!!!! :D

"First Day" of Holiday

2011-11-21T05:36:00.000-08:00

So... Today's the true first day of holiday, because the last few weeks were spent rotting away either in camp/school/some LT/whatever. Guess it was quite mundane, apart from a small First Aid Competition Plan and some Chinese homework, both of which were completed in quite a short amount of the time. The rest of the time was spent on reading, piano, reading, piano, anime, anime, anime, cards, reading, piano, you name it (facebook >.<). And that sums up my day.

Stein's Gate is awesome :) I approve of mad scientists, because I am a hybrid musician/scientist/mathematician/melancholic, so I'm technically a bit bonkers :P

Yay.

Meh

2011-11-05T07:50:00.000-07:00

Today is really *insert title here*. Pretty uneventful, and I spent most of my time drilling my piano skills, watching anime online, playing small games on Facebook and the like. I also had a ~1.5 km run-dash-walkathon so that I won't fare too badly for NAPFA next year (yes people you must start early).

Well at least I have a lab session, a photoshoot and CCL to look forward to next week :/ On a side note, I must start work on Maths and other competition preparation tomorrow.

じゃね！

Sudden Inspiration

2011-11-04T07:34:00.000-07:00

Merely 8 stanzas this poem shall be. (It's not poetic. It's more "technical".)

The Veins of Countries

The clear precipitation,
Falling from the grey yonder,
With a 9.81 acceleration,
Blends into the blue-green meanders.

As the meanders swirl,
Escaping to the rivers' cliffs,
Forming eddies which twirl,
Ending on the plains of pity.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

2011-11-04T06:33:00.000-07:00

So... 'twas the last day of school and I wasn't even in school. I was at VOX. Anyway, it turned out that some fun things transpired in school while we were away :/ (We won champions for VOX even though we were perhaps the most unenthusiastic, stone-faced team among the rest of the schools. Still quite happy with the last day, with the "sight-seeing" and so on, while video-taping people on the side)

Yep, so I conclude my third ACADEMIC (note the academic, I'm not done with other aspects yet) year in Raffles Institution with somewhat a bang I suppose, and so, no regrets there. What I do hope for in the next year (Gap year) is, with luck, a successful allocation of activities that I prefer, instead of being pushed into uninteresting activities due to limited vacancies.

And with this, good luck :)

VOX

2011-11-01T05:48:00.000-07:00

So... VOX! What is VOX? It is this reporter cum newspaper writer cum show host workshop cum competition, and VOX stands for Visual, Originality and X-Factor (Nope not the American style).

It was quite fun except that it was super long, and long duration things inexorably lead to... you guessed it, boredom. Well, I learnt some stuff, had fun using a better camera to take pictures, listened to presentations by a newspaper writer and a DJ on being a show host and being a newspaper writer.

Sure sure, it was enriching, opened our eyes, gave us new insights, the usual answer. But still, it became somewhat mundane towards the end. Well, at least the 'tea' break was timely.

For more information, visit: http://blog.omy.sg/vox/

Let's hope the second day is more fun :/

Looking Back

2011-10-31T02:21:00.001-07:00

Looking back, I found that I was actually VERY immature. Oh well. Serves as a laugh anyway :D

Review of Grades

2011-10-31T02:10:00.000-07:00

English: 3.6. Hope that it will remain that way after they clear up the debate discrepancy and remarking of question 11(b) of the EOY comprehension paper. The 11/20 for summary was pathetic, but I suppose it was expected after generalising so much :/

Chinese: 3.2. I suppose I must buck up a lot, but it was expected. Well, I couldn't exactly get a 3.6, even though I got a high 3.6 for paper 1, because of the depressing 65/110 for paper 2. *Rage*

Geography: 3.6. I pledge to read my notes earlier and snag a 4.0 next year. The EOY left me feeling scammed by the essay question.

Social Studies: 3.6. From the above two humanities, we have learnt that it is important to list examples, failing which will result in abysmal marks.

Mathematics 1 and 2: Both 4.0. George, you must maintain this.

Physics: 4.0. Must read question carefully before answering. Oh yes and reduce s.f. d.p. errors.

Chemistry: 4.0. Must have 3 s.f. Could have gotten a nicer looking mark -.-

Biology: 4.0. Must use common sense. Especially for the panting and rete question.

French: 2.4. By far the most depressing. A LOT OF WORK IS REQUIRED ON THIS. I shall read French newspapers everyday and remug my Secondary 2 and 3 stuff because of this mark that causes an eyesore. Oh yes and watch French movies.

Philosophy: A+. Yay this is a subject that should be used to replace grades too, in my opinion, because it is too fun. Pity this is the last year most of our batch is taking this as a subject.

Overall, the results are within expectations (at least for me), and my GPA should be 3.8, unless something bad happens to my English marks (like the system crashing or something), which should pull me down to lowest 3.75. Hmm. I'm quite satisfied actually. Now I can watch anime and do CCA stuff guilt-free. And blog. OMG super long post.

Subjects

2011-10-30T08:00:00.001-07:00

Back to blogging. Today was kind of eventful, with our valedictorian speeches. It was quite fun and made me realise that I am more confident presenting to a whole auditorium of people as opposed to 10 other people. Ironic, isn't it? What's also ironic is us as Chinese doing badly for well, HCL, which makes us really wonder whether it is us that cannot make the cut or a blatant flaw in the system. I mean, what's full marks if NO ONE can reach it?

Moving on, the marks for Geography were expected. In fact, it somewhat exceeded my expectations, given the fact that I felt very unconfident about that one test. Oh well.

Let's see what happens tomorrow. I sincerely hope I didn't mess up anything.

Revive

2011-10-13T06:39:00.000-07:00

Ok dear readers, today is the day that I revive this blog. So tomorrow is Biology EOY, and I can't help but keep thinking that I shaded something wrongly in my Chemistry EOY in my OTAS sheet. Sigh. Really hope that I didn't anything wrong, or else there goes like 30/50 X 40 = 24% of my marks for the year.

Let's leave this post here until I get back my papers, and I'll divulge the truth :/

Here's a toast to a successful Biology EOY paper, and good luck.

Life

2010-07-19T05:17:00.000-07:00

Hi! It's been a long time, comrades! Anyway, let's talk about life in its abstract form.

Life is supposed to be magic, it's magic that we develop nerves, that we can move, have feelings, and are not just hardened blocks halted along with the sands of time.

However, we find that we are slowly being twisted by the society into heartless, mindless, calloused zombies. Why? Why must we be limited to what the majority thinks? Let's face it. Everyone has their own opinion, and have the right to voice it out. But some people just tread over others. That isn't right!

So my advice to those people who want to speak up, is to simply talk. Share it with the group. Don't let yourself be confined by people who walk over you, who look down on you, prevent you from expressing your deepest thoughts.

Moreover, do what you want to do! Don't get pressurised just because you are doing something that is deemed unacceptable to others. Of course, the act must not be illegal in one way or another!

So think about what I said.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Helen Keller

Dare to speak up, and dare to act, albeit others' criticism, but act rationally!

Human Nature

2010-04-13T04:30:00.001-07:00

Human nature. A bizzare term. One that sparks off nonsense and logorrhea. One nonsense multiply one logorrhea= Nonsense squared= Literature. According to mathematics, this is true as negative negative positive! BINGO! Literature haters, just pretend I'm not talking about literature. Bye.

POST

2010-04-08T05:06:00.001-07:00

So nostalgic. Reminds me of the days when I was carefree, nonchalant about everything. Life was simply beautiful. Now everything I do must be politically correct. *Sigh*

TERM 2 Week 4, HERE I COME!

Just Another Random Picture Post

2010-03-28T03:36:00.001-07:00

Result of my friend's free afternoon.

Positive

2010-03-25T04:37:00.000-07:00

Must remain positive. Positive. Positive. POSITIVE! =)

Realisation

2010-03-25T04:28:00.000-07:00

We often trick ourselves. We think that we are right, then it all comes crashing down when it turns out that we are wrong. Life is beautifully ugly.

WHAT THE ...?

2010-03-21T07:25:00.000-07:00

Joke. The Equation of Life. Fatal Flaw. Money+Time (IS NOT EQUAL TO) Money*Time

Flag Day

2010-02-28T04:34:00.000-08:00

Hmm, a bit late to talk about flag day but it doesn't matter. Flag day rocked! Seriously, apart from getting me very scrunched up for the rest of the day, it was pure awesomeness. IT EVEN APPEARED IN THE NEWS! Actually, I knew that from last year... Nevermind. I need to hire a comedian to make people laugh. My posts are banal, plain, boring, *sigh*... Anyway, I am now mugging French. Yes, I know, it is absurd to take up French. But hey, it's fun at the end of the day. AND I CAN GO TO FRANCE TO EAT CHEESE! BLUE CHEESE FOR THE WIN! I love how optimistic people always can make people cackle and fall off their chairs laughing. Or maybe just smile, or grin. Pronom COI et COD. Je suis stupide. I can't freakin' remember what's the difference between COI and COD most of the time. Facepalm. I'm feeling a bit tired and worn out. Lethargy is overwhelming me. Talk to you guys tomorrow. *Yawn* Bye.

Chinese New Year Holiday? Torturous and Fun

2010-02-14T21:14:00.001-08:00

Chinese New Year holiday equals to a golden opportunity for the sadistic, malevolent teacher to hand out heaps of rank, fetid homework. It stinks. The list:

-Geography Performance Task

-English Theme Handout & Commonwealth Essay

-Mathematics Worksheets (Very fun though)

-Studying for Science Practical

-French

ARGH. I only did the mathematics work with plenty of zeal and ardour. There was a convivial atmosphere when I went celebrating yesterday at my father's friends' homes though. Anyway, here's just a music video to end off the post.

Relish, (:

Homework

2010-01-18T05:37:00.000-08:00

I really am speechless. No, it's not because of this video, but the amount of homework I have to do now that I am a Secondary 2. It's as though the teachers think that we can work at the speed of lightning. We tend to lose our minds after this (no pun intended). It is mind-wrenching to think that homework is an essential in our life... Oh well, life goes on

New Year Resolutions

2010-01-07T23:41:00.000-08:00

Hi all! School has commenced and split its fetid cesspit...again... *Sighs, bangs head* I'm afraid that I can't do anything about the new music player- Sorry! Alright, let's get back to business. My New Year resolutions? Here they are, listed in BOLD:

-Get 4.0 GPA

-Get NAPFA gold *GASPS*

-File neatly

-Eschew impostors (On blog)

-Play Mousehunt three times a week! After exercising! LOL

-Read (OR SKIM THROUGH) 100 books

That's all. After reading "Percy Jackson and the Olympians"'s series, I knew that all it takes to annoy someone and agravate him/her, is to compose an absymal haiku! MUAHAHAHA!

New Year is now here!

I will get great red packets!

They are really cool!

THAT IS WHAT I CALL A BAD HAIKU!

Holidays!

2009-11-13T21:48:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Today, I shall be narrating about a very special person in Raffles Institution Red Cross. His initials are G. T., otherwise known as Gabriel Tan. He is very well-mannered and polite. BUT, TOO UN-uncouth. That was a bit stupid. I should have said, TOO un-boorish. Nevermind about that stunning *cough* *cough* language. Anyways, he always tries his utmost best to not offend everyone, even the nefarious Qi Jing who has earned a notoriety(no pun intended), but, his efforts are futile. In his attempt to render assistance to Qi Jing, he has offended the person whom everyone tries NOT to offend. Foo J. M., otherwise known as Foo Jia Ming.

*Disclaimer* This is a joke post.

We have strayed from topic, anyway, G. T. (NOT THE RACING CAR, Gabriel Tan XD) has posted a eating etiquette post a LONG TIME ago which I feel I should share with you.

Dear (gentlemen),

Please read this for your own sake. One does not start eating until:

(a) every person is served or

(b) those who have not been served request that you begin without waiting or

At more formal occasions all diners should be served at the same time and will wait until the hostess or host lifts a fork or spoon before beginning.Before one starts eating, place a napkin on one's lap. If one is eating something that might create a mess, diners are recommended to place their napkins on one's collar and tuck it in. Even if one has dietary restrictions, it is inappropriate for non-relatives to request food other than that which is being served by the host at a private function, unless it is required to do so by the host or hostess. When a dish is being passed around, please do not stop passing when it reaches you. If passed, you should pass on the serving dish to the next person in the same direction as the other dishes are being passed. Place the serving dish on your left, take some, and pass to the person next to you. You should consider how much is on the serving dish and not take more than a proportional amount so that everyone may have some. If you do not care for any of the dish, pass it to the next person without comment.Dip your soup spoon away from you into the soup. Eat soup noiselessly, from the side of the spoon. When there is a small amount left, you may lift the front end of the dish slightly with your free hand to enable collection of more soup with your spoon. If you are having difficulty getting food onto your fork, use a small piece of bread or your knife to assist. Never use your fingers or thumb.Chew with your mouth closed. Do not slurp, talk with food in your mouth, or make loud or unusual noises while eating. Say "Excuse me," or "Excuse me. I'll be right back," before leaving the table. Do not state that you are going to the restroom. Refrain from blowing your nose at the table. Excuse yourself from the table if you must do so. Burping, coughing, yawning, or sneezing at the table should be avoided. If you do so, say, "Excuse me". You may rest forearms or arms on the table, but NEVER elbows. The fork is used to convey solid food to the mouth. Do not use your fingers unless eating foods customarily eaten as such, such as bread, asparagus spears, chicken wings, pizza, etc. Do not make unnecessary noises with utensils. FORK ETIQUETTEOne should hold a knife in one hand and a fork in another THROUGHOUT CONSUMPTION unless not provided. Also be sure to have the handle running along the palm and extending out to be held by thumb and forefinger. Most importantly, please do chew your food before swallowing. One should also not gulp or have more food without request. This is extracted from Peggy's The Definitive Guide to Manners and Etiquette.As most of your would probably be going overseas one day, one should maintain his dining etiquette to suit the respective culture. However, the information stated above should be widely accepted my most countries unless otherwise stated.

Thank you,

Gabriel Tan

...That was hundred percent genuine and authentic. So, cheers for Gabriel! Yay!

Most of you don't know who I am unless...

(a) You are from KHS.

(b) You are from RI.

(d) You are from KHS choir.

(e) You are from KHS Basketball.

(f) You are anyone related to me.

Now for the usual main course or le plat principal, a poem:

Mosquitos

A vile creation,

An infestation,

An itchy sensation,

Have you brought your calamine lotion?

If not, too bad,

the itch will be abysmal,

Scratching, raking, going mad,

Is what will occur.

The oblong tubes,

Sticking into your epithileum,

Gradually drain your blood,

Lapping it like a drunk pirate's rum.

A vile pest,

Worst than the rest,

Abhored by the people,

Loathed by the animals.

So raise your palms,

Bring them down with celerity,

And take delectation in ridding the world of another individual.

Oh, that creepy pest.

And what pest am I talking about,

Which spreads insidious diseases,

Resulting in a nasty bout?

Why mosquitoes of course,

With their inexorable thirst for blood.

Yikes, pests...

POEMS...

2009-10-05T06:10:00.000-07:00

Crap! I suffered an ignominous defeat. Who beat me? It is really unorthodox. Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj. That TribalWars addict actually beat me. Ai ya... Ok nevermind. Sometimes we bask in glamour and revel in prosperity, sometimes, well, simply abysmal. The callousness of the society nowadays, especially workplaces, seem like eldritch, cold hard battlegrounds. Battle of minds. Battle of talents. Capitalism. Yes, that's it. Capitalism. What else? Now we see a repetition of wars. No, not bloodbaths, but of competition. I am not referring to wars like esurient Adolf Hitler wanting the conquer...well, other countries, but of friends, acquaintances, backstabbing one another. WAIT... This isn't about poems is it? Digression... Back to our topic at hand. POEMS! AH. CRAP! How could I have gotten only 15/20? !@#!@%@#!%!@# Let's analyse the case we have. I'm very sure I devoted a lot of time into the poems, so why did I miss 4.0 by 1 mark? Was it because I anyhow scrawled and fabricated some random poem? Was it because the teacher didn't think enough? NO! It was because I didn't devoted ENOUGH time into it, which is practically impossible, because I started working on it the day the PT was given out. PT is short for performance task. Digress... Let's continue talking about the cold society we live in. Oh nevermind, once I think of a poem, I can't NOT write it. Here goes~

The elixir of life.

Is tasted by everyone.

Everyone's strife

to be equal.

Then comes capitalism.

And then communism,

By Karl Marx.

But have we actually considered,

These terms,

What exactly are they?

Why were they created?

Ideals?

Where were they stated?

The feels?

Social stratification,

The bifurcating of people,

May seem enlightening to some,

Horrifying to some,

Boorish to some,

The elixir of life.

Is tasted by everyone.

Everyone's strife,

To be equal,

Has dissipated.

Today

2009-09-28T06:21:00.000-07:00

Maybe you would aspire to read the next bit very quickly. Like, skimming through it! Alright, ready, get set, go!

Today I aroused myself, scraped off the dirt on my tooth, cleansed myself, gorged on a Nutella bread, doused my teeth with water afterwards, went to do my business, got out, ingested cod liver oil, munched on ascorbic acid, sped of on the family car, went to school, hauled my bag down, slumped my shoulders, streaked down to assembly, listened to prefects, sprinted back to class, revised French, waited for our maths teacher, Mrs Jasmine Chong, began lesson, damn noisy, cacophony of sounds, jarring, English Lesson, Mrs Heryanti Suhaimy, did Animal Farm newsletter (very screwed up by the way), Gabriel very punctilious in his work, Recess, bolted to Staff Room 2, got Euler's something form from Maths Teacher, devoured Chicken Rice, Repulsive, Garlic smell lingered in mouth, pervaded classmate, eliminated by fresh mint. *Pant* *Pant* Let's continue. Mother Tongue, Benny KPZ's "eloquent" teaching, cynical Foo Jia Ming, Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj and Wang Zi Yang were laughing hysterically, to the point of acute spasmsZi Yang's turn, VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT, Jedidiah Andrew's turn, NOT SO GREAT... Activity, fiasco, got bamboozled BIG TIME, Continuing, Character and Leadership Lesson, Ms Samantha Tan taught us about *Ar hem* *Ar hem* affecting your *Ar hem* *Ar hem* life, sick people laughing and cracking sick but hilarious jokes, Philosophy lesson, Mr Lim Lit San conducted COI, Community of Inquiry, Philosophy (ha suan to other Secondary Schools), Watched movie, called Not One Less, Very Nice but Tragic at first, Excruciating pain when leg banged into metal table leg *Ouch*, Bounded down stairs, lunch, stuffed tie in pocket, ate Soy Sauce Chicken, very messy, Finished it 15 mins before lunch ended, Dean Fu RuZheng jabbing buttons in PSP, History Lesson, Mr Wong taught us about Marco Polo and Vasco da Gama, say we should name the Human.s Hub and Geog Hub some other random name, if have time, came home, mugged French, watched TV, lapped up Ribena, end of day. FAIL! XD (That turned out longer than I thought...~.-)

Exams...Again.

2009-09-23T05:35:00.000-07:00

This fails lah. Seriously man. Critical error. Tomorrow I have FRENCH ORAL! FRENCH! @$@#$(@*%@#(*#@* What is this!?

awrhaiwulawtiuawtit2it87t..... Phew, that felt so good. That rejuvenated me. Adrenaline rocks! Anyways, my feelings now made me compose a short poem! SHORT! Don't expect it to be long:

Exam, exam.

I don't give a damn.

Sap your strength,

Elongate your length...

What is freedom?

Is it to be free,

To be able to roam?

Is that it?

Exam, oh that diabolic long chain,

That hegemonic rows of teachers,

Those columns of students flaunting their gain...

Envy flew, Hypocrisy brewed...

That day as I sat on the vermilion chair,

The prize I've won cradled in my grasp,

I felt on my back, spiteful student's glare...

Eldritchly stabbing me, like a wasp.

Exam, exam,

Do I give a damn?

Maybe I should, albeit the pain,

That causes another chain.

Tests FTW

2009-08-27T06:04:00.000-07:00

Today, is the day, when we observe for ourself justice being served! Yes, it brings forth melancholic and nostalgic memories that shall embroil you in battle and put you in cynosure! The mortifying feelings... Ahh... The days that shall never come again. The fading, disspating memories of elation and ecstasy (NOT THE DRUG! XD I forgot the spelling.). They shall be flung into the black and blue yonder. I'm inspired to write a poem today (though it's short):

The amber is reflected off his eyes,
The vermilion rays of guile
Slant in the orange red sky,
Suffocating the blue yonder.

As the rays fade gently,
The pitch impending...
The ordeals he experienced disappear too, truly,
But his fond memories are diminishing too.

He musters his will and reaches for them,
Successful? Futile?
He groped at thin air,
But that only laid bare,
The fact that it was, to no avail!

As the sky darkened,
The moon rose, beauty of the night.
The stars shimmered,
The city's aisles' lights flickered.

The person left with a crestfallen heart.
He didn't understand,
He was, confounded.
Where had the memories gone?

Projects...XD

2009-08-25T06:13:00.002-07:00

Hi people, long time no see! So, today we will be discussing about projects. (Though none of you can respond) Project have incorrigible personalites, I'm serious. Firstly, they waste a heck load of time. YES, WASTAGE OF TIME. As the Chinese saying goes, "一寸光阴一金，寸金难买寸光阴”. So, I conclude that we should abolish this matter in life, and be free! Yes, freedom, comrades. Karl Marx couldn't have put it better. Let's eradicate this Tsar (Nicholas II) of projects altogether! Forward!

Ok, random moment there...

So, anyways, yes, we shouldn't do projects, it's basically a meaningless existence of burden that should be wiped off the face of this earth. (Even though I have to admit that it can produce some things) So, I devote a poem to this. (Scrambles and rummages for script, *1 min later* tears the script, then dictates):

Projects, Rejects.

Yes, they run as one.

Foul gas, odours of runs.

Nothing, could put it better.

The agony that it causes us sting, those futile efforts.

They think that this assists us, but no!

Failure to succeed leaves you in the dust, as most of us know.

So dismiss this tactless thing, and no give us back our glee.

Then we could elatedly sing, you will see!

Projects, oh projects.
I plead of you now, to go away.

CCTs=Dismay

2009-08-19T08:28:00.000-07:00

Today was nothing much, really. Basically it's just revision for the Science CCT- Radiation, Convection, Conduction, Particulate Nature of Matter, Mass & Density, Measurement... CCA wasn't much fun though, but admittedly it was quite meaningful and left me feeling like a deflated tire. Anyways, Oral Communications was a bit crappy, with people presenting their things like dumb people who deter on the side of creativity. Some guy raved and ranted about newspapers, some other guy was like hilariously gambolling throughout the whole presentation and prancing about. And once again, Jedidiah Andrew Seth Xayaraj's incorrigible Chinese Chess addiction overtook him and I was AGAIN unable to study meticulously in a cocoon of quiet and silence. ARGH! I wished that the fan would drop and smash his XiangQi pieces to smithereens. I know it's like 11.40pm but I don't care, ok? I need to finish my Science Worksheet that is damn depressing. Whole paper is about explanation again and again. Repititve you know? Raffles Institution produces luminaries. Well, maybe. Here's a short poem for you to admire:

The night is cold, the right is bold.

Who shall conquer the lands, I know not.

To wear the bands, you need the pot

Of magic, producing red ticks.

Yes, the sacred pens of the teachers.

Scrawling like dirks, marking our work.

Zero to Hero?

No way, or is it?

The pen is mightier than the sword, as it may draw the horde.

100 marks equals satisfaction, 0 equals humiliation

The society is cold, only the strongest will be told.

Randomness FTW

2009-08-17T07:57:00.000-07:00

WOAH! It's been a LONG time since I last posted. And the usual excuse? CCA, Projects, Homework. Phew, so time to babble about school life. Not much nowadays, but still pretty hilarious at times. Now, in RI, there's the head prefect election. People paste posters on walls. Yes, walls. Even TOILET walls. I'm sure that when you need to defaecate you like to look at people proclaiming, "VOTE FOR ME!" Yeah, that's it. Elaborate on it tomorrow, since it is 11 o'clock already and the night abyss is silent...

Randomnization

2009-07-17T03:39:00.000-07:00

Number 26th post! Yeah, I know I rock. (lol XD) Let me just pepper this post with a short poem (no plagirism):

Fire is hot, water is not.

For the wind is nigh cold, just like the old petals of a rose.

What is love, you may ask.

I tell you, it's a crush.

Psychology, hmmm...

Though now you shall tell me,

In your mind's eye what you see,

When I mention the below anagram,

An Evade Dam,

Deciphering it may be hard,

but so may be the song of Bard.

The first to guess my riddle now, will receive a humble bow.

History and School

2009-07-12T05:20:00.001-07:00

I am utterly appalled by the fact that my blog is close to dead. Since I've been doing my ton of homework and projects, I haven't had been able to get time to blog. So now for something nonsensical and random. Who's the mother of milk? FLOWER! Because in Chinese, there's something called peanut milk and thus translating 花生奶. 花meaning flower, 生to give birth and 奶milk. LOL. You seriously need an obscure sense of logic if you got that one wrong. (I don't have logic because I got it wrong. WAHAHA!) So here's me, signing off. Oh and before I go, try to guess my name. My friends know me but then...hmmm...I wonder if you do?

LOL...

2009-06-26T20:05:00.000-07:00

Holidays are going to end... Boohoo... Still got some projects to complete! Chinese just have to do reflection. English have to prepare a script, History don't really have to worry, anyway Lin Qi has the big blue board! Ownage! CS/CLE have to finish the website. Ai ya, one day's work can do. Anyway still have like 23 days. Chinese has 33... RE, have to do interview on two people.... Crap. Nevermind, nevermind, cool down, cool down... And what's more, it's like more than 90% of the people are yelling EXTEND THE HOLIDAYS! and our health minister is like finishing up his plan for the rest of the year, looks up and says to the whole horde of people, "Let's just continue as normal and scheduled." Ok, that's just plain weird. Why would they put on a poll on channelnewsasia.com and ask people if the holidays should be extended for nothing? Actually, it's a pretty good idea that the holidays are extended. For one, we have more time to do our homework. And for another(which is more egoistic), we have more time to have R&R.

DAMN IT!

2009-06-12T21:12:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so it's me again. So um... Should I tell you about it or not. Deliberating... OK fine! Curses... I am a Singaporean and there is this annual SMO. So, I'm afraid to inform you that I am thirteen. Yay! Anyway, I screwed up, did only like fifteen questions... Gee. Crap. Didn't get into second round... So anyway, I hate to get less than a silver. Damn. Darn my camp lah. Should have turned up later. Well I don't know. Got trashed by Benny. LOL. Suffered an ignominious defeat. (Dunno why I'm typing this again) *Frustration* !$@#$%#@%!#@$@%@^$%@#(^*#&%!!!

OK Thanks I GOT TO GO BYE.

P.S I am not a person who likes to use short forms.

I DUNNO...

2009-06-10T00:23:00.001-07:00

Ok, so there is now another person who has the same name as me in this world. I dunno how I got cloned or what but just listen up. Ok, so you have muscular fingers, eh? Well, I have checked mine, they are not really THAT muscular but ok, I get your point. And by the way, who in the right mind will spam others cbox when they can do work? LOLZ. Just came back from an awesome bosom Science Genetic Workshop. Damn fun... Modified the genes of Escherichia Coli and made it ampicillin resistant. HAHAHA. OMGWTFBBQ! Okay anyway, we tried not to let the bacteria escape and hopefully they won't... And we extracted GFP from bacteria lysate! Sadly ours didn't glow. Ai. Ok nevermind, just want you guys to know, I really stink in CS, so don't expect me to be able to block that friggin' spammer. And friggin' spammer, go away. Nobody needs a companion like you. Goodbye.

SPAMMERS

2009-06-04T20:11:00.001-07:00

Haven't been posting for a long time now. So welcome back comrades! I am back from my three days two nights camp. Damn fun lol. Threw water bombs around and made a lot of people wet. Well, I discovered a lot of spammers when I returned home yesterday. Those "George"s before were like darn xiao. Try to impost as me, NOT SO EASY. So just go away, "no-lifers".

New Post!

2009-05-20T05:17:00.000-07:00

So... Yeah its been a long time, comrades. By the way, if you didn't know, I could do first aid and evacuation! They are AWESOME. LOLLOLLOLONEONEONE. Ok, anyway, back to the point. I am so depressed that this week I got spammed by three tests in one day. THREE TESTS! Philosophy, Chinese and French! OMG. Tomorrow still have Science practical. Need to go and memorise the different functions of different stuff. And I need to go for Open House training. LAME... SO SIAN NOW....

I Despise Rebutters

2009-05-09T00:41:00.001-07:00

There's this guy in my class who screwed up my RE project. Darn it!!!!! We are now getting a new topic and he just insists that he is right by suggesting tuition. We are still arguing over it. I just want to tell him three words. STOP THIS NONSENSE. We are already behind time and he still wants to drag on our time. I hope he can just friggin' accept the case and get on with myopia already. But he, like in class with Mr Wong on that day when we found out what does reliability truly means, is obviously trying to sow discord and wants us to do something that we did not like to do. It was like our Geography awareness topic. It is completely destroyed and ruined. I cannot accept this kind of crap. I, as the group leader, has the power to stop him. However, I am a kind person and so will not use foul language to insult him. But since he has reached the point that he will not accept anything, I have no choice but to reject entirely this topic. He does not have a decent argument to support his stand. He also indignantly says, "You guys ar, keep trying to put me down leh." I am not trying to start a flame war here. I just hope he realises his mistakes and learn from it. I am appalled that he uses the word "shut" when he is losing. (No pun intended) I pray that he stops his topic on tuition. So, I hope he will oblige and adhere to the rules of being in my group, one of which is no squabbling or bickering.

Science test=Epic fail

2009-05-07T03:39:00.000-07:00

Well not really. I was not very prepared for the science test. Stuck on first question at the start. But in the end still managed to solve it la. I don't think I did very well for the test... I just spammed the paper with crap when the question how does antibiotics affect bacteria came out. Ai ya... Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes part I think I got one wrong. Erm... Maybe Science quiz not so fail after all. Lol this is lame la contradiction. Bile! Vinegar! Cheese! Chyme! Chymosin! Rennin! Erepsin! Trypsin! Steapsin! Pepsin! (I think I should stop)

Science Test and Expository Essay are lame! Messes up your mind...

2009-05-06T00:25:00.001-07:00

So bored now... Trying to remember the processes hydrolysis, osmosis, phagocytosis, active transport and diffusion. Today I visited the prestigious National Asian Museum. Pretty nice... With all the artifacts, I seriously think they are just trying to show off. (Fingers, stop being so random!) Anyways, trying to remember solutions to test for different things. Glucose, Benedict's reagent. Protein, Biuret's reagent. Starch, (Oh this is easy)iodine solution. Lipids, ethanol. Emulsion formed. Vitamin C, DCPIP. (Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, takes the colour away from this reagent) What was I thinking about? Oh yeah it's the different kinds of nutrients. (Or is it?) Carbonhydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acid. (Learnt about deoxyrebonucleic acid today) Enzymes and acids, blablabla... The parts of the digestive system=mouth, salivary glands, epiglottis, oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, duodenum, ileum, large intestine, colon, appendix, rectum, anus. (Yes I managed to memorise them!) Temperature and pH affects enzyme activity. Too hot, denatured. Too cold, inactive. Sterile=cannot reproduce/rid of microbes. Enzymes are highly specific, do not cause reactions to happen and are affected by temperature and pH. (Why am I saying this again?) Now on to expository essays. Darn la! Cannot state the obivious, cannot use cliches, cannot use broad generalizations (don't blame me if I spell this wrongly, I am so confused now), and cannot say things that you are about to do something. It's not that I stink that essay writing, but trying to remember these are really a nuisance. Damn. I am really trying to not start the flame war here. I am so exasperated. 输得不甘心. Really man... Trying to juggle between French, English and Chinese is really hard. Plus Philosophy. I'm not saying I hate Philosophy, in fact, I like it! But, so many subjects really inflict a lot of stress. And some more, I was dazed when I found out next week got chinese compo, history and math CCT. Dang. My life stinks. This contradicts the song that goes "What a wonderful world"...

Enzymes...

2009-05-05T07:30:00.000-07:00

So darn bored... Argh!!!! Trying to memorise things like erepsin and steapsin and whatever. OOF... I want to sleep but cannot sleep. Why? Metabolism!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. It is messing up my mind. Trying to remember enzymes don't cause reactions. Urgh I think I should go to bed now. BYE.

What a "Great" Week!

2009-04-17T07:07:00.001-07:00

So much homework, so much homework, argh!!! I hate the very prospect of homework. This is the foulest, most putrid, most fetid word ever invented in history. It is proliferated with parasites squirming and writhing. It is engulfed and wreathed in the very flames of stress. Homework stinks! It will be irrevocable! No one can ever reverse it! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was thinking today, what is the point of studying? What is the point of learning quadratic equations and linear inequalities. What in the world is the point of studying. It just cramps up your brain with information. LOTS AND LOADS OF IT! I hope that one day, the ramifications of the invention of this word, homework, can be reversed and we will finally, escape from the clasp of the malevolent homework! YEAH!

Stressful...

2009-04-10T02:28:00.000-07:00

After a morning of stressful work, George finally settles down at his desk to blog. Fugues of flashback rippled in his head, he had never felt so somber and surreal. Argh! I give up lah! Darn it man... So much homework and so many people to deal with. What an awesome bosom...

Je déteste les hypocrites et les imbéciles beaucoup...

2009-04-09T01:16:00.000-07:00

Today I did the following stuff, maths, science, english, music and computer studies, discuss stuff. Now, I really got pissed off with something that happened today. Darn... Now, have you met a person who frames you and turns you into a scapegoat when in trouble? There is this guy called <> who keeps saying I lied about not throwing slips of paper. And there is this huge bunch of <> who agreed that I did throw. What the heck is the problem with this people? There is also this guy who said that it was not fair for <> to accuse others and that I did not throw paper slips, but in the end also said that I threw paper slips. How contradictory! There was also a guy called <> who was in the same boat as me. MAN... Life in <> class <> is sometimes hectic and chaotic with lots of people accusing each other... If your life is also like this, then you should post a comment.

The truth about me

2009-04-03T06:47:00.000-07:00

All you have to know is that I am George. End of story.

Counter Strike

2009-03-21T00:38:00.000-07:00

Now this game is queer. I don't even get this game's point! You go around shooting people until 'BANG!' you die. Then, when you go online, there are these people who keep calling you noob. Hey! How do you know if that guy is a noob. I mean, most of the time, these people who insult others are not even pros. There are also these people who keep shooting you regardless of whether you are a pro or noob. (Actually, I bet there aren't even any pros...) What is wrong with these people?! *Exclaims* IT IS JUST A NORMAL GAME! People these days...

Ok, so its my second blog. If you look at the time, you will realise it is posted straight after the last post. Anyway, I am talking about a "pretty" popular (Actually it's extremely popular, with 10 power 6 people playing it. Maybe more...) game. I was just playing it ( Ok not just, a few months ago) and there was this annoying mage who kept killing whatever monster that you want to kill. *laughs at the memory* I know some of you will want to know why I laughed, so here's the story. Anyway, at that time, I got really frustrated with him and I just defamed him. The guy just defamed me back. Then, a really funny thing happened. His avatar was like turning left and right like crazy (Maybe his computer caught a virus!) and a monster hit him and he died... Many people were like OMG and I laughed so hard. I know some of you may call me sadistic but hey, he deserved it. However, my main point is.... "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!!" LONG LIVE THE NOOBS!!!!

What is a short story?

2009-02-23T00:28:00.000-08:00

What is a short story? Is it a short story, comprising less than twenty pages? I think that many people have forgotten the definition of short story. Because, in "Flowers for Algernon", a "short" story, it has more than twenty pages! Which means it is not a short story. A short story is actually a story that is written in less than three pages! Thats why it is called a short story. Ai....

Second Blog of the Day! YAY!!!

2009-02-14T00:53:00.000-08:00

I'm blogging nonsense again. "Humans originate from apes." This is a perfectly true quote. It is just that if we originate from apes, then what do apes originate from? Using Darwin's theory, humans originate from amoeba, which in turn is a plant. So, are we plants or are we animals? Apes and amoeba can originate from a simple form. And they are made of cells. A block of cell can originate from amino acids. (Now, I'm talking nonsense! Well, sort of.) So, if everything originates from amino acids, what does amino acids originate from? And since amino acids are acids, can it be said that our stomach is the center of our body, not our chest? Exactly, how did we become to be what we are today? Did something in space cause this phenomena? How was the galaxy formed? And how was the former of the galaxy formed. All this must come from a source! So, continue to ponder. And please don't use religion for an answer, please!

Yay! Time to Blog!

2009-02-13T22:18:00.000-08:00

Ok, here's my first nonsensical quote. (Actually, its discussed between my friend and I) "The philosophy of life cannot be studied unless you are dead. Because, if you are alive, your opinions may be biased and so, not at all accurate. But, on the other hand, if you are dead, it is almost impossible to analyse the philosophy of life because you do not have a brain to study it." From here, we can tell that many quotes of great Philosophers contradict with what we say today.(Like, LOL) For those who understand what the heck I am talking about, good for you.

Intro

2009-02-13T06:54:00.000-08:00

Firstly, I am a student, in Singapore. But don't ask me who I am, 'cause I'm scared you will come and look for me. (Like, some people, duh!) Anyway, I am a boy. My life is humdrum, same routines over and over again. Ai... So, most of the time, I will be posting nonsense on my blog, to ease my stress. (Maybe I should not have said that.) So for those people who want to kill time, read my blog.
