It would be the last night I will be donning my Harry Porter gown to dinners at Kings. No more borrowing ties off Chris. No more running to the laundry for an iron. No more mock battles waving sticks and umbrellas chanting those weird latin words.

The valedictorian dinner was indeed one of the longest formal dinners we ever had, with all the farewells and change of leadership and all. Looking back, this year at Kings taught me that any food can be made fancy by adding long, big words. Sweet pumpkin broth served with thai basil and cream equals canned Cambell pumpkin soup. Creamy tomato soup sweetened with honey and bay leafs equals tomato paste. You get the idea.

One have gone through a lot of encounters while staying at Kings, from the fresher initiations to the sportsmans dinner. It would be unlikely that I will be returning next year to Kings, but my short stay here really helped me to get used to uni life, though it did horrors to my academic grades.

Here's dedicating this post to you boys from B flat, bedussy, stain, date, turkey, tip, jungle bunny, webby and pyro from A flat, Screappy the elusive bastard and the other Chris who always hound us. And not to forget Fleur, who makes me want to stab someone with a spoon. All the best.

I've watched Serenity, and love it! Just kind of sad the way several of the main characters in the T.V series Firefly got killed off in the movie, although they did a nice job tying up some loose ends left hanging in the T.V series. Now that i got my cinema fix, its back to games again. :D

Also, I've finished reading the book "Magician" written by Raymond E.Feist and... I'm in love with his works now. Never before have I read a book which combined medivial lore, english fantasy and japanese elements into one. I've read many books in my life, and this is is the third book which i can list as my all time favourites.

Black and pink goes well together i realised. Too lazy to give an overhaul of layout. Jason was right, the pics i promised 2-3 weeks ago might wait till next year before i upload it. I hate it when he is right. I hate it more when i wake up with a hangover. Im hooked on Firefly. Everything i do now is based on Firefly. Long live Firefly.

Lets see. 3 exams in 2 weeks makes a dead calvin.

Been watching tv series on end. Now im hooked on Firefly. All's left to do is to wait for the upcoming movie Serenity which is based on that tv series :D

2005-08-05T16:30:00.000+10:00

Heh, been a real long time since i last updated, oh well. Celebrated Steve's Day on tuesday night, which marks exactly 6 months before our lovable B flat troll celebrates his 18th birthday. Everyone chipped in $5 for the festivities and with a grand total of a $100, we bought..

24 litres of goon *White wine, fruitylexia all the way ^^*
8 litres of Pineapple juice
8 litres of Orange juice
1 litre of Vodka
6 litres of lemonade
2 bags of ice

Of course, we also had other donations from A and C flatters which includes

1/2 bottle of scotch
1/4 bottle of lemon essence *which promtly made the whole thing tasted like lemonade*

Mix every thing up together and you get some sweet lovely goon punch. As per usual, we held it outside on the lawns, directly opposite the college chapel drinking and talking shit. Was a fun night with plenty of stories to share and drunken antics to watch.

Heh, and the funny thing was that, everyone in B flat was sick and spewing for the next 2 days, except for me, so things were pretty quiet during that time.

Kings' open house will be on this Sunday, which means people coming over and invading our privacy, which means little children poking things they should not poke, which means fresh meat for me next year :D Seriously now, me and a few others have signed up to conduct tours around the campus, more of a tour guide if u want to call it. Hopefully it will be fun then.

2005-07-25T13:27:00.000+10:00

Heh, nowadays it seems like such a chore just to wake up. Congratz to our very own Sir who got his stabbing knife last night. Massed meat last night @ some japanese bbq place, had like 4 platter refills of beef, chicken and pork. Price was way expensive though, im starting to miss marina bay's $12 all-u-can-eat bbq now...

Going back to Kings later tonight, hope my fridge will still be there when i arrive. Not really looking foward to uni, but then i don't have a choice. First class tomorrow @ 10am, hope it will be something intresting this time.

2005-07-20T00:05:00.000+10:00

RAWR. Just saw my new timetable for next semester. All i can say is that...

I'm. Screwed.

2005-07-06T00:08:00.000+10:00

Finally got a haircut. No more ning or dan jokes for you all so there. Cheers to XSB for telling me that supercuts had a 30% off that day @ cine lol, saved me heaps. Followed ben to simlim yesterday where he bought his ps2 slim after his original one went up to the great console graveyard in the sky. Finished reading all the new manga my siblings bought, too bad now i got nothing to do except wait for stuff from justin and dan. Sir dik still m.i.a, probably sleeping in a tank somewhere and got shipped to thailand.

Wonder which country will host the 2012 olyimpics, too many hype going around and i'll be glad once its over.

2005-07-02T00:38:00.000+10:00

Kbox is some ownage. Please sing chinese songs when i only know a few words. At least, to my satisfaction i made ben suffer hearing my horrible, multilated version of S.H.E.

Think i caught the flu bug from ben or fook, cause my throat feels super dry nowadays. Just gets irritating sometimes. The initial D movie the night before was also some ownage. Sitting down in the seats watching jay chou's acting with only 2 expressions can kill your brain cells. Speaking of brain cells, i recommend everyone to watch the jap movie "Versus". Its only fair that other people have to suffer like me.

2005-06-19T15:35:00.000+10:00

2 failed, 2 more to fail has been my war cry for the past few days. Death to those engineering students who already finished their exams grr.. *shakes fist*. On a cheerier side, 1 more week before I'm out of here and back in SG, enjoying those lovely lovely cheap good food. Gratz to a close friend of mine who got married yesterday, doubt I'll be seeing you much online from now on ><. I'm starting to feel old. :(

2005-06-13T01:39:00.000+10:00

Im scared. very scared while in the college right now. Ever since buttman week was declared, all us freshers have been living through days of fear and uncertainty, unsure when the next waterbomb or demeaning task would be given by the seniors. Dinner time is the worst, where they randomly select you and force you to do crazy antics which involves food getting dumped all over your head. Powerless to stop it we are, our only option is to scurry away before we are targetted into the safty of our rooms, where only a thin pane of glass separates us and the food fights outside the quad... The only thing keeping my sanity is the thought that we'll get to do this to the freshers next year...

cal out.

2005-06-02T12:59:00.000+10:00

Hmm. been slacking as usual ever since i've got my assignments done for the semester. Exams coming up soon, dunno how im going to revise 1 semester worth of work x 4 for my 4 courses -.-

I think admin is going to charge us extra for boarding fees soon, given the fact how we b-flaters vandal our corridor. Tried covering the knife marks on the wall but i guess they found out cause Hunter, our bflat senior got into trouble with that :3

On a side note. i love my ipod ^^

I'm tired, no motivation to do anything.
Just something to keep the masses happy.

I need a new lifestyle.

Mass pics time ^^. Lots of *intresting* cosplayers, inc male sailormoons *shudders*

Best looking cosplayers IMO

Thought Street Fighter had died out

*points to PoT Doll @ bottom right* A certain someone would kill for those ^^

I shattered CW's illusions of GGX with this pic ^^

1 whole week wasted to marketing presentation. RaWR~! Anyway, thats done and gone, now to focus on my accounting mid semester which is due next week ><

Spent yesterday night helping up set things for the supernova convention tomorrow. In a way, it kinda scares me, you thought dan was an anime fan right? The people there puts him to shame with their... talk *dunno what to call it* Helping out is some fun though, they gave me free tickets for the 2 days and had free pizza for dinner. I'm sure amanda will kill for some of the stuff i've seen on display tonight, all those toys, posters and other thingys.

Can't get enough of this band Mae, which was introed by jason. Now i can't seem to stop listening to it rawr! Hope can go find the cd tomorrow :3

I'm still waiting to hear some M'sia stories from u Malaysia campers, update me soon with stories and pictures soon thanks.

Pt... Platinum
You scored 81 Mass, 47 Electronegativity, 58 Metal, and 100 Radioactivity!

Platinum is a rare breed, and one who's reputation as a stalwart
bastion of virtue is well-earned. You stick up for what you believe in,
never change, and get along well with others. I would recommend that
you become a politician, but the sad truth is that you don't understand
us lesser and less-confident beings all that well. With a couple good
Carbon advisors to keep you in touch with the scuzzy non-metals I'd
vote for ya though. You are loud, be proud... keep it up.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Mass
You scored higher than 90% on Electroneg
You scored higher than 67% on Metal
You scored higher than 99% on Radioactivity

Just got back from Jade's party which was held in Little Tokyo, some japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Her mum paid for everything, which i later found out costed around $50 per person, some pain dinner >.<

The food there was just medicore, nothing special that justified the high price. Although when the chef cooked the fried rice, he like did a lot of kinky cooking skills such as flipping the egg and all. Best part of the night was when the chef flipped the bowl of rice towards us, literally flipped using his spatula thingy and we have to catch it as it went tumbling through the air. Sang birthday songs and gave prezzies, though i was the only one who didn't get anything for her, kinda felt bad now.

Went back to her new place, where her mum lectured her how staying alone must be independent and all that. I just sat there amused, enjoying every minute of it. Bummed around there until 1.30am then went to the city Treasury Casino to have supper. Some hot chocolate and garlic bread owns lol. Got back around 3am and think i might take a shower and go to bed.

2005-04-01T06:29:00.000+10:00

1st of April. April Fool's seems so insignificant now, compared to the old SAS days where we pull pranks on one another. Growing up is scary, it changes how one thinks and react. But one thing for sure, my love for maltesers will never wane! RaWR!

Im definately screwed for uni. I'm like already 1-2 weeks behind work, yet somehow, im not that concenrned. I've got 2 assignments due next week yet i've shown no intrest in doing it except maybe till the last minute. Somehow, i don't care.

I'm some messed up thanks.

2005-03-25T15:00:00.000+10:00

Great way to start the Easter Holidays. First a fight now a fire @ St' Johns. It was kinda weird, cause when I first smelled the smoke, I thought someone was burning leaves or something, until Stain decided to go out and investigate.

There was like this huge smoke coming out from behind out college, and we thought Kings was on fire @ first. Asked someone who ran past and we were told that Jabbers was on fire. Didn't had time to grab my cam but took some pics off my phone.

There were girls crying and everything, people holding onto whatever they could grab as they stood dazed outside and people like me just to see what was going on. Sneaked into the college and saw 1 whole flat on fire, flames jumping out from the windows on both stories. The sight was just... wow. I jsut stood there, transfixed on the sight. Got chased away by the police before i could take any pics of it though.

Luckily there was not much Jabbers staying in college, so i doubt there were any casualties. What a shock those people who left will get when they return, to find their stuff burned down. Oh well, i'll probably be damned if i said this but, no one liked Jabbers anyway, they got it coming.

2005-03-24T15:39:00.000+10:00

I should be happy, but im not. Easter holidays are here, and 1 bloody week will be wasted due to god forsaken assignments and projects >.< RAWR!

Nothing much to blog, just everyday normal college life. Lots of ppl going back where they came or either to training camps, so guess King's will be quite quiet.

Oh well. someone shoot me please.

2005-03-19T04:00:00.000+10:00

Sigh, i hate timed out windows. Means that i got to retype everything again.

Just blew $300 on clothes today, yes i know im some mad mofo. 2 shirts 2 pants. There goes my clothes budget for the year, until i can find some job to supplement my savings.

There was another lawn party tonight, some duchness girls came over and hung out until ard 2am. Just chilled outside on the lawn, enjoying the cool breeze and talking crap. Its fun and relaxing, time just seems to pass so fast.

Came out with so much random stuff, including the trolley sheep idea. One day, we're going to mass around 50+ trolleys from coles supermarket down from the college. Then in the middle of the night, we're going to sneak into Grace college and position them trolleys on the lawn, arranging them like sheeps grazing on the lawn. How good would it be? Imagining waking up one morning to find a hard of trolleys on the lawn grazing xD

Stain and the others went on a mission to St' Leos and Cromwell again, the booty this time included a table top cloth, an ironing board, 1 jone's t-shirt, 2 chairs, 1 gas tank and some salt shakers. I mean, these college missions are just so random, pilfering these random stuff. I swear, one day we'll get into heaps of trouble lol.

Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watch you tower over me
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you

2005-03-15T00:50:00.000+10:00

I am lucky damn it. Life is good to me. If you don't know what i mean, go find it out ^^

I seriously hate hate HATE business laws. I mean, i can live with how courts laws works and all that but the history of the australia parliament? Give me a break. Who cares about terra nullius and all that fancy latin mumbo jumbo? But since it is a prerequisite for my course, no choice but to hang in there -.-

B flat rocks. Well, maybe a close tie with A flat but still, WE ROCK! 12am in the morning and what do we do? play freaking night touch lol. Just mocked around chucking the ball around, trying to keep the noise down to a minimun. Hell, did we had fun.

Some of the boys took out the booze and started slacking in the cool night. Watched Jeff do his baton twrilling thing, which was pretty impressive. He even did a flaming one just for laughs and giggles. JB did this fancy card tricks, like the one in those gambling shows where you flick the cards and it flies like 20 metres and hit something, and hard. We all tried to copy it but all i managed to do was to give it some wobbly flight path. We spent the rest of the time chucking the cards @ one another, yelling in pain as JB poked us with his deck.

I also seriously hate Mondays. Uni starts @ 10.am and I finish up @ 6pm. Some long hours. On the good side though, means i only havev 3 hours of school for Tuesdays to Thursdays ^^

Things to get next for my room

Beanbag
T.V
Bed Light
Booze

2005-03-13T16:14:00.000+10:00

Jeez, its 4 in the afternoon and i barely woke up some 30 mins ago. I think i clocked up around 11 hours of sleep -.-

Not much to put up, or at least not much which i can think about now. Finally bought myself a bar fridge, which is stocked up on goodies. Still trying to get posters and such to make the walls seem more intresting, my favourite one having the pleasures of life.

Finally recharged my digiCAM and found some old kinky pictures we took, my favourite's jason's cryptic message ^^.

Fear Jack

And Sally

I know what you did last night. you call YOUNG LADY!

2005-03-13T01:39:00.000+10:00

To think that a man
Has but fifty years to live under Heaven...
Surely this world
Is nothing but a vain dream.
Living but one life
Is there anything that will not decay?

2005-03-05T13:08:00.000+10:00

Okay... gat CITG and Resnet was down since Wednesday, leaving me cut off from the net. Had to wait till Friday before they could get everything up again.

Friday night B Flat decided to have a small party, so chipped in $10 to get the booze and snacks. Things got started around 5.30 and was pretty lively from the peeps from other colleges coming by. The seniors made this huge punch, pouring like 16 bottles of whites, 1 bottle of vodka, 1 bottle of scotch, 1 can of pineapple juice into this big bucket where we scooped up our share. Was out by the 4th cup and had an early night.

Steve and me made a bet whether a condom could be pulled over the head, needless to say, i won lol. Chris, another flatmate of mine pulled this dom over his head, and stretched it until it covered his nose. What made it funnier was that he inflated it by blowing air through his nose, literally wearing a condom hat. I'll try to upload the pics asap so you all can understand.

Shld be going out later tonight with the rest of the gang, probably go down and catch a movie before wasting the night in a pub. I swear, i'll probably die of a liver failure by the end of this year the way things are going right now.

2005-02-28T11:20:00.000+10:00

First Uni lecture in 40 mins. whee~

2005-02-27T02:22:00.000+10:00

Alright.. kinda having a bad headache so i'll try to put whatever comes to mind first...

Some crazy orientation week here in Uni and Kings, met lots of intresting people and societies, esp. the "Queer Collectives" Oo. Might join the shooting society, get to shoot with shotguns, rifles and pistols. Went to the Red Room to check out the place, not bad, nice to slack and pass the time. 2 pool tables, 1 dart machine, 1 tabletop soccer, 2 pinball machines and lots of food and booze.

Went to the city on friday night, hung out at this place called Strike. www.strikebowlingbar.com.au
is the address if anyone's intrested. A picture is worth a thousand words i say. Very cool place to be, esp. the neon pool tables.

Celebrated Ian's 18th @ his house on saturday. Went to his house for a bbq, played some yard cricket and played with his dogs. Got a bottle of rum as a memento of it, everyone got smashed real bad lol. Called for a cab back to Kings and had a short nap before coming online. Supposedly said a lot of nonsense to ernz, daniel and the others while i was smashed... Read the chat logs, even i dun understand what i said lol.

Better do laundry tomorrow, room getting too messy with the piles of clothes on the floor. 1 pile for dirty laundry, 1 for clean laundry cause im too lazy to fold and keep them properly xD.

2005-02-22T13:47:00.000+10:00

The Great Cromwell Hat Heist.

I've come to notice that each college has its own personal rivalries, Kings especially against all the other collages. Take for example, today afternoon we invited Cromwell over for lunch, and also a small get together. Our hats were to be safeguarded, while in turn we have to steal their hats. With stealth, cunning and a bit of ingenuity, Kings in total bagged 18 hats, 1 Cromwell History Book and 1 super soaker, losing none of ours in the process.

Points were awarded and added, increasing the prestige of the Freshhie who stole them. Later on tonight @ the Duch/Johns dance, the hunt begins again, double points awarded for every Johns' item. *Can guess both collages has something against each other*

Finally found out the reason why 1 freshie was wearing a dress for the past 2 weeks. Supposedly he lost the barbie doll which was entrusted to him, and his punishment was to wear this purple circle dress for the remainder of o week, everywhere including the city trip this afternoon. Others had to carry dead fishes and eggs during O week. I've yet to encounter the seniors' wrath and Im planning to keep it that way.

Met a couple of girls from the other collages taking the same course as me, seemed like a nice bunch of ppl so far. Theres "Peach" from Cromwell and "Y" from Grace, Iv'e yet to ask how their nicknames came about.

Better go get my books soon, otherwise I've nothing to refer to when uni starts.

2005-02-21T22:08:00.000+10:00

King's O Week is Kinky! You know how those American movies always show how the teenagers have some sort of frat initiation? Well i always thought it was over-exaggerated but was i proven wrong... First night they made us freshhies stand around the pool while they did so much shit to us. Seniors put on this convincing act of expelling someone, whom we later found out was our Collage Recreation Advisor. Made everyone run around the place, gave cheers, and gave us so much shit period. It was like boot camp in a nutshell.

They made everyone wake up @ 5am, doing drills and so on for the whole morning. Then whenever the seniors ask for a volunteer, all of us freshies have to stand up and raise our hands up, saying "Pick me sir!" Gay :s But they're nice blokes though, whenever i sit by the side watchign all the action i'll talk a lot of cock with them.

Still pissed about my spraining my ankle, means i missed out on the paintball, iceskating, bowling and the big Grace collage dance which is being held tonight. Sigh....

My room is still in a mess, yet to get a desk lamp and a bar fridge for my room. My cousin was considering putting a T.V inside my room so that he can come over and play between his classes lol. Had to rush out and buy a fan after a night in the room. Super hot and stuffy, it was a wonder how i managed to get sleep that night. My room have this sliding door instead of a window which leads out to the common yard, which i have to lock for security reasons, leaving a small gap near the top for ventilation, which was made useless by having the window shades covering it up -.-

School yet to start, kinda looking forward to it after 3-4 months of inactivity. Managed to sign on most of my courses so I have them more or less back to back. Someone i knew had his timetable screwed, first class @ 8am, with a 4 hour break till 2 pm for the next class, then another 2 hour break for the last class @ 7pm, which finishes @ 9.30. PWNED

RAWR! I miss SG food.

Went to get my university pass today, got lost and ended up wandering around the uni campus for like 40 mins before we located the library to do the pass. Took like 3 minutes to get picture done and make the card -.-. Some waste of time.

Finally got my hands on a copy of WoW. Seems fun so far, esp. playing Undead Mage. Shoot fireballs and arcane missles are some kinky stuff.

Orientation starts thsi saturday, dunno what to do till then, slack and play games i guess.

2005-02-06T14:27:00.000+10:00

Nothing much to say except....

I.Feel.Old.

2005-02-01T18:54:00.000+10:00

Imma still haven writing up the K.L trip with fook, jas and ben mainly due to laziness. Taking Jason's infamous cry, "YOUNG LADY FOR YOU?" pretty much gives an idea of what happened. Didn't buy anything though, nothing caught my fancy. Spent most of the money on food anyways. Some cheap Fish and Co. feast we had. Walked around the hotel area and went bowling mostly. Neon bowling is some fun stuff.

I'll upload some pics when i have a stable net sometime. Till then,

2005-01-27T01:48:00.000+10:00

Rawr! I hate being gopher boy. Been sent to the office to transport some documents for my uncle, go bank withdraw money for my mum, go office photocopy more stuff since monday. RAWR! Still, its kinda exciting withdrawing all those new crispy notes from the bank, especially with it in the bundles nice and crisp.

Finally cannot stand being internet-less so been playing down at CA or Prinsep, playing there for 2-3 hours each time. Playing SG never had been so fun.

Today was Army's birthday, a regimate from 6d7n. Went down to Marina Bay to eat the steamboat, together with the regi and also with HB. I think all together 38 of went down there. HeartBreak and 6 days 7 nights sat at different tables, though we walked back and forth talking with one another, let this night be a truce between us lol.

Made Army drank 1 glass of beer, then 1 glass of beer with a raw egg, followed by 1 glass of lemon tea mixed with a raw egg and ending with a glass of 4 raw eggs. Really eggs-citing. I think we made him scared of eggs after tonight. Met up with nearly the whole regiment tonight, and some people didn't looked like what i imagined them to be.

Tomorrow will be bunkign over at ben's house so that we can wake up and go catch the bus to K.L on time this friday. 4 boys, 3 days, 2 nights and 1 room is a recipe for some chaotic fun.

Hopefully will be able to take some kinky pictures to show what we did over there. Rawr!

2005-01-21T22:11:00.000+10:00

I've always believed that deep down somewhere in our mind, theres a place where all our memories are kept. Whether or not we can remember them is another thing altogether.

Random thoughts have been running through my mind past couple of days. Stuff like watching Shawn wading in the eco-pond back in primary school to going to the police station with Jason to get interrogated.

Since moving to my uncle house, i've been watching the telly more often now and cant' believe the kind of junk i see. Most commercials today are like... really cmi, or maybe its just me that can't seem to get it.

Rawr! One Piece 350 done dling, signing out to read it.

2005-01-20T14:33:00.000+10:00

Actually i typed this up last night but the wireless got disconnected before i posted this up. Anyways, here we go.

Ahh, finally changed the picture in the middle of my blog. Drawing by my sis, colouring done by me, though i have to give credit to jared too for teaching me the basics of photoshop. It was actually a way bigger pic though but i was way too lazy colour it all, so i just cropped a portion of it. Yea, im lazy, bite me.

Went to the city with Tribu, Mith, Kapobao and ben today, went mostly around wheelock place to get tribu's phone fixed. The next time im going to the nokia care shop, i wanna take along with me like other brands of phone; samsung, siemens, sony etc, and use it just to taunt the staff there xD

Went to the movies @ lido just then with ben and fookie, caught the movie elektra though it was a waste of $7.50. Bad plot, no punchlines etc, though the only savign grace was of jennifer gardner in those tights, though it was only a short period.

See what's going to happen tomorrow down in NP, hope will catch something intresting.

Yesterday was some good stuff. Got offered a place in UQ Commerce. Kinky BBQ @ Chia Wen house with the rest of the s0ul gang. Threw bong into the pool, had lots of drinks inc. HoeGaarden, introduced by Ernest.

Met up with Beiyuan after a long time, learnt that some ex-saints in his platoon in NS. Also saw Ming Kok. After BBQ ordered pizza cuz everyone still felt hungry, pepperoni and hawaiian pwns late night supper.

Now leeching bandwith in CW house off his neighbours' wireless. Found like 6 unsecured internet connections so now Jared, Dan and Me are leeching of them. Who told them never to add password lol.

Jason and Zhi Wei passed out on the bed together as i type this, good couple they make. Its 3.am yet i don't feel sleepy. Guess will spend the night playing or slacking.

Cal Out.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Or it just leaves us weaker for the next thing that wants to kill us. And the next thing. And the next thing...

Back to Back posts yay!

Well, this is my last update from good old No.1 Holt Road, giving that I’ll be moving house back to Barker Road in around 12 hours time. Its been 2 short but great years here, lots of memories shared with you all peeps I suppose.

I will remember the time Jason went to No.7 instead
I will remember the time we tossed Duck, Zhiwei, Jared into the pool
I will remember the many bbqs and sleepovers we had
I will remember the mahjong games played there
I will remember staying up late in the night talking to you peeps
I will remember the great cooking we had for Fookie’s birthday
I will remember… a lot of things here…

Not sure how life will be like back @ Barker Road, still one must manage change. Heres to you all.

Had a great time today. Went to the anime convention down @ the expo, the Bakamasuri held there. Went there around 3 though, since had to wait for Daniel to finish his wedding lunch. Brought along my sis to the place, where she went apparently happy mad at the anime booths. Met up with Amanda and Jasmine who were apparently selling their anime collection or dowry as they rather like to put it. Glad my sis bought something from their booth, otherwise I’ll never hear the end of their complains why I never supported their booth :s

Lots of eye candy there as well, though regretfully I left my digital camera at home, oh well there will be other times. Bumped into Daniel’s friends, one ex-classmate and another ex-neighbour who were the bouncers for the whole event. IMO, there were too many Naruto and FF7 cosplayers around. The place didn’t really had much to offer, though the organizers tried their best I suppose. If I was part of the committee, I would tried to hold more events, maybe such as Quizzes or more anime previews to liven up the place.

One of the most memorable thing there was someone who cosplayed as Freedom, a Gundam suit. The sight was pretty impressive, with all the cardboard wings sticking out everywhere. I was practically laughing myself to tearsd when he tried to enter the convention hall doors, which were too small for his bulky costume. He stood there stoned at first, not knowing what to do and in the end, had to squat down and crab walk into the hall which took him around 5 minutes.

Tada! low quality cuz taken on my low quality t630 -.-

Went to the Japanese bbq place in cineleisure for dinner with Daniel, Fookie and Ben. We ate like pigs over there, and really stuffed ourselves, and also played around with the ice cream xD. Left the place around 10.30 where we went home after that.

Have to quickly pack my stuff soon since I’ll be moving back to my uncle house later today. Probably going to take me an hour or so, given the amount of things I have. Of course, this laptop and modem will be the last to go ^^.

2004-12-26T01:04:00.000+10:00

Xmas, the time of snow, gifts, shopping, eggnog etc. Not for me. Been so long since i last celebrated xmas lol, heck, i don't really celebrate much for the past 3-4 years.
Played mahjong with family from 8pm till 3am the next day, still kinda sore about it -.-. Only lost cuz of the last 3 games where i gave the winning tile to someone else grr...

Spent the whole of xmas eve colouring my entries for the SG Xmas competition. Didn't realise i had to submit in different entries for each of the individual sites so had to come up with a last minute replacement. Wasn't as nice as the original but at least i hope it catches the judges eyes.

Going to the anime convention tomorrow, dunno what to expect but also not expecting much. 2 more days to pack up my stuff before moving house again, even got a jib from kob who told me to stop being a normadic panda =.=

2004-12-22T16:59:00.000+10:00

Lets see... got back from K.L today, nothing much happened there though. Met up with a very old ex-school mate of mine from Miri, Denise while in K.L airport. It's been like, 9 years since i last saw her and her family, glad to know that they're still in good health. Had a talk with them and learnt that she was going back to England for her A's. Heres wishing good luck to her.

Stephan Chow made a movie appearance in the hotel which i was staying at. It was a thrill to me meeting him up close sicne i grew up watching his movies. It was hard to describe the whole experience with mere words but to sum it up, it was magical.

Met up with Nick there who played chauffer for the 2 days while i was there. Went down to his friend's pub one night where we like slacked the whole night away. Pretty nice place with cheerful atmos and surroundings.

Few days left before i move back to my uncle's house back in barker road. No idea what to do till then while waiting for my uni postings. Hopefully i can get into the course of my choice with the OP4 i managed to scrape through with.

2004-12-18T01:37:00.000+10:00

Way too tired to blog, just to sum things up in a nutshell

went for interview @ boarders
went movies with dan, eugene, fook
had jap steamboat cum hotplate buffet
had diy icecream buffet
went kino
home

Bbq tomorrow, haven buy stuff, haven organize much. Things will sort itself out somehow. Nite.

2004-12-15T01:45:00.000+10:00

Can't really think of much to put down here. Life's pretty dull, with most ppl either on holiday or @ school. Been slacking pretty much @ home i guess, playing games or reading books.

Went to Chomp Chomp with chan, dan, ernest, jared and shar last sunday, enjoyed a good meal of sotong, stingray and sugarcane, the 3 S ^^. Total meal was ard... 50-60 ish between the 6 of us, so i guess its not that bad.

Family's going to move out of holt road soon, back to my uncles house @ Barker Road. Sigh, seems like i cannot escape that place after all lol. Still awaiting my school results from aussie, 18th December is poor Cal's day of reckoning. Hope i did well enough to get to the choices i put down.

Planning bbq this saturday, still asking ard for numbers etc, have to book the pit real soon though before other ppl grab it first.

2004-11-28T02:07:00.000+10:00

Today some fun stuff. Went down to sitex with Dan, Jared, Shar and Jus to see lots of electronics which I could never afford to buy. Also saw some anime stuff happening, pretty boring event though, expected more from it though. Also saw the top female gamer play Quake 3 against people, like theres this competition where if you beat her in a game, you win $1000. You had to kill her 12 times before she kills you, and i think the record was 12 - 1, and that person was the only one who managed to kill her. The rest had scores like 12 - 0, 12 - -1, etc. Also saw lots of eye candy down @ sitex, wonder how much those models get paid per gig? Hmm..

Went to movies @ Lido afterwards, and saw the movie Saw, some psychotic thriller shit. In the movie, the antagonist really messes with your mind, making his victims kill himself. Lots of sick killings and multilating, couldn't finish the bread i was eating >.<. I reckon its a good show overall, and those of you who haven watch better go watch it, you'll miss a pretty good show.

Came back home, only me and my aunt again. House feel damn empty without siblings lol. The previous week was noisy like heck, now quiet like a tomb. Ah well, go sleep early now. Too lazy to update my manga/anime list today.

Nitez.

2004-11-27T04:49:00.000+10:00

I know i said i would change the template when i got back to Singapore, but I've been wwwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyy ttttoooooooooooooo llllllaaaaaazzzzyyyy. So live with it.

Not much happening in town, most ppl working or climbing caves in Perak. Been trying to clean up my room but no success, still looks like a sty.

Its 3am, and I need sleep.

Seems like a dream now that year 12’s over. Everyone who's been looking forward to the end of school is like 'Wtf?' as it came by so fast. Now really nothing to do for the next few days.

Went down to the pub 'Cheers' this afternoon with shwindels, lambert, bird and b.j for a bit of a drink. In total I think we had ard 14 hops and 3 spirits among the 5 of us. Dranked beers such as XXXX bitter, Ned Kelly's, Victorian Bitter and Cheers Gold. I particularly liked the Cheers gold, wasn't that bitter and left this honey-like aftertaste. Spent nearly the whole afternoon down there, from 3.30pm till 5.30 talking and chilling. Some of the BGS staff came down for a bit of drink as well, which sat down in the booth next to us. It was alright, had a bit of a chat before they left.

Awards were handed out today during our year group assembly, and I received some certificate of merit. Heard that that's because I'm in the top 20% or something but meh, school's over I don't care. I'm still kinda cut about not receiving the sports award for rugby, had to see the coach to fix that -.-""

Wet and Wild tomorrow, the school’s treat to us year 12's though we have to pay $22 for it zzz. At least that's something to look forward too tomorrow. As for the rest of this evening, I'll be spending it watching a movie marathon with the rest of the year 12's tonight till the T.V blows up or our eyes pop out.

Surprisingly, tonight we had a good dinner. Must be a pink polka dotted green moon tonight or something. Had this chicken curry dish, not too spicy and adding in raisins enhanced the taste, giving it this sweet and spicy flavour. Good stuff. Me, pig and ozzie had seconds, thirds and fourths. I think we cleaned out the tray lol. Bet the chef must be feeling happy since we cleared his dish.

Yesterday it rained like mad, turning the school into a giant swimming pool. To get from one place to another students had to wade through the deep waters. Smart people like me stayed in the boarding house and watched movies the whole day xD. Yes, I skipped class, bite me.

And when it rains, it means… mud rugby! Whahaha. Nearly the whole boarding house went to the water logged fields for a game, despites threat from the boarding masters. Had fun as usual, all the sliding and skidding. Oh yea, I got snapped by 3 other people. I was lying flat on the ground after that tackle and had to be dragged to the side lol. Painful, yet fun.

A lot of people has been complaining about the new blog layout, which I’m too busy atm to fix it up. Wait till I go back SG ba. In the meantime, LIVE WITH IT. Got the WoW clients that ben and fook requested, bloody 2 gigs. I might delete it instead since I’m running out of HD space and they can dl it themselves.

I got a scholarship. Received a letter from Bond Uni yesterday regarding the details. When I opened it, I was like "Wow." Didn’t really expect to get one though, since my application for another one @ Bond got rejected. I'm still unsure whether to accept, since I’m aiming for another uni and all but still, its nice to know that someone wants me.

School's been very slack recently. Yesterday marked the end of Earth Science classes so now I'm left with

Physics
Maths B
Maths C

I'm pretty much screwed for these last 3 but I don't care. I've already lost all motivation to do work since 2 weeks ago.

The school's bringing us seniors to Wet and Wild next Thursday as a final school trip. Going to be crowded though since other schools will be going on the same day. I wonder if theres going to be fights happening?

We boarders took a group pic last night, which lead to very undesirable results. I’ll try to get a copy of it linked up soon since a picture is worth a thousand words :3 I've learnt how to make smoke grenades from watching Dino's Retrospective video, which I'm very inclined to use soon xD. Take one of those spray-on deodorant and remove the head. Smashed the tube into something hard and out comes all the gas, instant smoke grenades! I've got the video clip on the laptop if anyone wishes to watch it.

Got new movies, or rather leeched new movies yesterday. Titles includes naked gun 1 and 3, The Butterfly Effect and Analyse That. Anyone up for a movie marathon when I get back?

On a side note, A levels started yesterday in Singapore. Good luck and well wishes to those taking them.

No. More. Economics.

I'm so damn happy right now. Today was my last day of economics. No more studying about tariffs, taxes, quotas etc. Burn the textbook, chuck out the notes out the window,

I.Dont.Care.

Its over, thats all I wanna know.

Redesigned my blog if you didn't noticed, used the same template as jason lol xD. Changed the colour abit, I rather liked soft colours rather than the usual black. Took me about 10 mins to figure out how to change the colours, had to stare at the code until I realised I had to use hex coding for the colours. Took me about an hour of tweaking before I settled for this colour scheme, though most likely I'll change it again once I have the time. Last official English class this Friday, then can slack and do anything I want.

Watched the Melbourne Cup today between classes, thats one thing I love about Aussies. Give them horse racing and nothing gets done that day. In Maths class, I made an antenna for the T.V by using an old metal coat hanger and plugging it to the recepter behind. Yes, it worked. My friend told me that they did the same thing for his other class using paper clips. Go figure.

Bleh... Woke up late again this morning. Showered, changed and ran to class. Had leftover pizza and a can of milk tea for breakfast, which I ate along the way to class. First blog of the month, means school's almost over. Big update coming up, been too busy with all the assignments last weekend but yet somehow managed to get it all done. Where to begin?

Friday:

Nothing much, just played basketball as usual own at BGGS. Got pwned by my junior who kept doing 3's and a dunk. Learnt a technique which allows me to spin the ball into the hoop, hopefully I can learn it soon. Got a crappy haircut at the barber down the road, now my hair looks like its been mangled by dogs. I'll take that saying seriously now,

"Never go to a white man to cut an asian hair"

Saturday:

Woke up around 1pm after a late night session on SG, then had to work on my 2 assignments, English and Earth Science. Started around 2pm and ended around 10pm at night. Thank god it’' almost the end of year, I'll break down if I had to do them again. Played RO again with Dan, his sage now higher level then me. Started a new character, planning to be an asura monk eventually, when I have no idea.

Sunday:

Slacked on the net for abit before going back to the boarding house. Played a short game of touch with the rest, which I did 2 big runs and a try. Pizza night yesterday at the boarding house, managed to sneak off an extra pizza into my room. Guess that'll be my dinner for the next couple of nights. Stayed up till 11.30 doing up the assignments, adding in quotes here and there. Redesigned the layout of the English assignment because I decided I hate it. Took me like an hour to do that. Realised that I messed up my monk built order, which I'm too lazy to correct. Will concentrate more on RO once I finish Year 12 during the 4 months break.

Boring week this week. Hope next weekend will be more exciting, since I've almost got most of my assessments out of the way. Might go down to the party which Steve will be hosting, or maybe just bum around in front of the laptop again. Here’s a quote which I think sums up the everyday contradicting life we lead.

"'Catch-22...says you've always got to do what your commanding officer tells you to.
"'But Twenty-seventh Air Force says I can go home with forty missions.'

"'But they don't say you have to go home. And regulations do say you have to obey every order. That's the catch. Even if the colonel were disobeying a Twenty-seventh Air Force order by making you fly more missions, you'd still have to fly them, or you'd be guilty of disobeying an order of his. And then the Twenty-seventh Air Force Headquarters would really jump on you.'"

Quoted from Joseph Keller's Catch-22 Chapter 6

Well, 4 weeks worth of assignments… trying to get it completed in 3 days. I really should stop this bad procrastination habit of mine, really stresses me out a lot. Rack getting expelled from the B.House this week, which we’re trying to appeal against. I mean, what harm can a chicken do? Its not as serious as trying to set the whole place on fire -.- Klestov also’s in trouble atm, with the police. Got arrested over the weekend for having fake id’s. Really not much to do but to pray for him now I guess...

On a happier tone, 17 school days till end of high school. Our school’s gay cuz we have an exam right on the last day of school… compared to the other school’s 1 week plus of slacking -.-“” Finally figured how to get msn working on the school’s network again lol. Not really much since I’ll be leaving soon but hey, might as well make the most out of it.

Went to the movies today with pinky, ugly and the rest. Caught the show Shawn of the Dead, which is liek a spoof of Dawn of the Dead. IMO, its the funniest and best zombie movie i ever seen, rating way better than Resident Evil and the others. It focuses mainly on humour, not the usual gore and blood and i gurantee, by the end of the show, it'll have you laughing in your seat.

1 week left before my English thesis is due -.-"" And i really have no idea on what to write on lol. Did alright for my recent physics test, getting like 15/20 for knowledge and 5.6/6 for complex ^^. That really boosted my average up.

I am so damn bored, finished most games already including the latest Dawn of War game. Too much liek warcraft IMO, Space marines as Human, Eldar as Night Elf, Orks as Orcs *doh* and Chaos as Undead. Too little campaign missions too, finished it @ mission 13 and now have to wait for the expansion.

Oh well, 20 school days to go.

2004-10-21T18:35:00.000+10:00

Went for the King’s College interview today. Pleased to say that I was offered a place there next year ^^ The guy brought me around the place, showing me all the facilities which included the bball courts and the gym. I can’t wait for uni life, it gives a lot more freedom compared to high school. No curfew, no restrictions, just pure fun. On a side note, I noticed that they were serving smoked salmon and oysters in the dining hall for dinner. >.< Got bored and started sketching one lonely night. Took me some time to get it scanned and touched it up using photoshop. xD. ph34r my Sasuke lolx!

click here for sasuke xD.

2004-10-14T18:42:00.000+10:00

I think theres something wrong with me. I mean, its alright to wake up all moody and depressed now and then but whole week? I've really been giving people a hard time this whole week with my messed up attitude. *Sry to those reading this -.-* The whole school day I would bitch non-stop about anything and everything, from arguing with the teacher over his choice of clothes to the year 8ths not leaving the b.house on time. Maybe i have to see a shrink soon.

I'm kinda mortified about my latest economics results. I scored like A/A+/A-/D+ for the paper itself, messing up big time for the decision making section. And following the school's system, the highest i can get overall for that paper is a C+ -.-"""". Yes, shoot me thanks. Tried appealing to the teacher but to no avail. Sigh, going to be hard to explain to my parents.

Saw someone gettign arrested while walking through the park today. About 3 or 4 kids were apprehended by the police. Judging from the paint filled bottles they were carrying, most likely they were sniffing paint. Wasn't any of my business so i just walked past.

The long awaited Bleach portal is finally up. Its abit bare atm but looks promising. The same people who's hosting narutofan.com also's hosting it so the layout's pretty much the same. To those who don't know Bleach, read it :p I myself was attracted to the fact that it resembles the Shinshengumi in many ways later on into the book. *Spoilers xD* Many thanks to Kubotite for making this series, though I'm still abit cut about his decision to stop writing Zombie Powder -.- Oh well, @ least he made it up with Bleach.

Another Naruto arc is over with the coming of chapter 235, can say I wasn't expecting *that* to happen. Don't worry, Im not going to give spoilers lol. Wonder what the new arc going to be? Hmm... I just hope its not as long as that irritating Detective Conan series -.-""

2004-10-13T15:59:00.000+10:00

Gave blood yesterday to the blood doner drive @ school. Was a good excuse to ponteng classes so I donated. It was my first time so yea, it was pretty scary @ first as I didn't know what to expect. The person made us wrote out this application form, then had to circle in the boxes in the questionnaire. Some of them we like, so hilarious to me, but to them it was probably a serious one. It included questions such as "Have you ever engaged in male-to-male sex within the past 12 months?" Immedietly scanned the page for "animal sex" but sigh... Giving blood felt quite pleasant actually, once you get over the stinging pain. I rather quite enjoyed the sensation of the blood being drained out of my arm and the rush when the needle was removed. Heh, you can say that its my new drug.

Something intresting finally happened in our Economics class today. Someoen chucked a water bomb into the class, smashing directly onto the table and getting a few boys wet. Everyone was like stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. The best thing was that, our class was on the third floor way up and yet, the water bomb managed to land right in the center of the class. Cheers to the guy who threw that .

Don't think I'll get up to much over this weekend, might just slack again as usual although my English and Earth Science assignments are due in soon...

2004-10-09T23:33:00.000+10:00

6 weeks to go, or 30 school days left.

Went for dinner @ aunt's house tonight, bbq done by my uncle. Tasted alright, but i reckon i could do better xD. After dinner, was hanging ard the kitchen with the cousins when my uncle came inside half-drunk. He started to pour out all the alcohol that was on the table, offering it to us all lol. I tried this.. irish cream thingy? The bottle name was baileys i think, tasted like coffee cream with a bit of vodka in it. Maybe i'll buy some when i get back to SG again ^^.

Gundam Seed Destiny raw is out, DLing it anyway though I most probably don't understand any of it lol. Hope a good fansub group will take on the project. DAN! Go dl and i leech off you! Bleach too! xD.

On a side note in SG gaming, SBZ seems to be up and running, probably last ard 3-4 months i reckon before fly or pig gets sick of it again. Lots of old singas back playing again, which really brought back the fun times we had. Lots of new bloods too, good luck to them.

Summerville Girls' had their formal tonight, heard it was a blast from those who went, though not as good as our schools. *yay~* I wonder how those people, who goes to like 4 to 5 different formals this year can afford it? I mean, it cost a pretty penny to rent a suit and get all the corsage and all. *shrugs*

2004-10-07T16:41:00.000+10:00

Finally back in the meat grinder after 2 weeks break. Can't really say my holidays was that productive though, spent most of my time gaming, mainly SG and RO. *Thanks to ning for introducing mobRO to dan and me xD*

7 weeks to go, can't wait till the end of high school. Went on a field trip today, bashing rocks *rolls eyes* Still, it got me out of school so I'm not complaining much. Was appointed dorm senior again this term, making this the third time this year I'm one. Means i get my own room again :3 Yes, with a door.

Now a lot of people has been asking me about my manga and anime list. This is getting real annoying so I'm still trying to figure how to post it up on the net. Any suggestions anyone? I'm thinking of like, hosting the list somewhere, where you click the link, it automatically uploads into your com or something like that.

I miss my internet. =~

2004-09-30T01:47:00.000+10:00

Haha, realised that i haven't been blogging lately ever since i came back to Singapore. Not much to say.. extracted the bad wisdom teeth, spent most of the week recovering @ home -.-.

Celebrated fookie's bdae! Cooked @ my house. Hahaha, Me, Jas, Zw and Fook mass stuff in the kitchen. Super dinner we had, made fook drink 1 serving rum he cannot take it already lol.

Been playing too much RO lately, neglecting my SG character lol. For those of you who knows or cares ar, fly and pig back and reforming Singabombz on relic.

Still got to change the layout of my blog, but imma too lazy lol. Got problem? Bite me.

ARRR!!!! Today's International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Thats right mateys. Remember to spread the word and have an ARR day.

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

You are The Cap'n!

Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

Theres nothing better than typing out a blog with a nice, hot pepperoni pizza beside you. Long live the pizza industry in Aussie ^^.

Lets see, where should I start? The boarding house next term is going to be a little sad with the loss of Mr. Bos, aka “The Boss”, “Bossy”, “The Big Bos”. He had to leave for Sydney due to family matters, so the Harlin Community is sad to lose one of its finest boarding masters to date. Heres wishing luck to Bossy!

Today went to the Supernova anime convention and it was just… wow. Daniel would have gone nuts looking at all the merchandise and Japanese books on sale there and neither was it that bad. I kinda expected more from a big convention like Supernova but sigh. Did an Amanda and spent almost $70+ within the first 10 mins * Yes, I can’t control my shopping impulses, especially when it comes to anime goods -.-* Bought some posters for my siblings, *They better like them or else* and this cute RO one for myself -.-v

What really made my day was being able to buy one of those Naruto forehead protectors for myself lol. Its alright for something that costs $5, plastic on cloth with the Konoha symbol ^^. I better keep it away from ZW and Jason, lest they do unimaginable things with it.

There were a lot of cosplayers too and I have to admit, some of them were pretty well done. There was this group posing as the Naruto gang, *Naruto, Kakashi, Haku, Zabuza* which I think came 4th overall? There was this cool cosplayer who dressed up as the female ninja in Ninja Gaiden. Could tell she made a lot of effort making the costume as it was elaborately designed right down from the mask to the cape and katana. Lots of people took her picture I recalled, including this pair who dressed up as The Tick and his white-dunno-what-animal-insect sidekick. I only noticed 3 very bad cosplayers that day, one of them being a male dressing up as one of those sailor moon characters -.-""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Had an opportunity to talk to Sean Astin, who played Sam in LOTR and John Rhys-Davids who played Gimli in LOTR. Both of them looked very different from the movies lol but nonetheless, they were quite sporting. Davids did an extract from one of the movies, waving abt this rubber axe and giving that trademark Gimli look. Had a nice talk with them, something abt what they’ll do in the future. Astin said something abt opening a chain of sushi stalls oO

Going to catch the plane tomorrow back to Singapore, another 7 hours of my life gone sitting in a plane -.- Catch you guys back there.

Remember in secondary school, how much you hate those mark scrabbers? Those people who keeps pestering the teachers for extra marks in a test/exam? Well, had a run in with them again today in class, except worst. They scab for marks, and MAKE others lose marks on their papers. Now, don't get me wrong. I wasn't affected by this but my mates were.

"How come so-and-so got 1/2 mark for his answer? I wrote almost the same thing? This is unfair! I also must have the marks then...*blah* *blah* *blah* *yada* *yada* *yada*"

Hence the teacher deducted almost 3 marks off the poor guy. If he was mouthing off about my paper and I got marks deducted, I'll certainly and forcefully remove his teeth there and then.

Finally finished up my last test today. 3 more days till the end of term. I don't know what to do for the next 3 nights. Maybe I'll just reorganise my laptop documents or burn more dvds. That reminds me, I'm still thinking of whether I should buy a new, bigger hard disk since they're dirt cheap compared to back then. Sigh, too many wants, too little resources. Really the economic problem -.-"".

Now, what is a blog? The question seemed to hit me one day. Somewhere to put up your rantings after a stressful day? A place to share your desires and dreams with others? Me, I just put in any random stuff going through my head. For me, its some way for me to leave my existance behind in case i die or something. Yes, morbid isn't it? I rather speak out whats in my mind then keep them botteled up, no regrets later on eh? Reading other's blog kinda gives me an insight into that person. Personalisation of one's blog can tell lots about that individual.

I never gave much thought about my future until now? What to do next year? Take a break? Go to Uni? If so, what course? Am I able to do the course? Will I enjoy it? Too many question, too little answers.

1 week left into the term, before going back to Singapore. Theres not much point going to school next term i reckon, only 6 tests left for the remainder of Year 12. These two years went by so damn fast its freaky. Another chapter in my life ebout to end, a new one awaiting its start.

You know... something cool to have are...

Flying Pink Monkeys!

Yea, imagine having them as pets. No more climbing trees getting that kite stuck up in the branches. No more climbing up houses clearing the dead leaves from the gutters. Now won't that be sweet?

Nothing new or exciting happening lately, just completed several tests and more are coming next week >.<

Been raining down here in Brissie for the past couple of days, a nice change from the usual, dry weather we've been having whole term. Of course, with wet weathers comes.. Mud Rugbys! Haha, been having a ball of a time playing mud rugby with the boarders for the past few afternoons. It really brings out the imps in us, i mean, what better ways are there to have fun while getting dirty?

Tried to do a diving tackle this afternoon, unfortunately the target slipped from my grip and i was sent flying across serveral meters eating mud. Bleh.

Doing water polo for the rest of the year for P.E. Never knew that paddling in the water can be so damn tiring. Its not bad though, usually i jsut lurk near the post then wait for the ball to be thrown to me. Others do the hard work passing, I wait for the ball and score, getting the glory.

Damn, I'm evil.

Didn't do much over the weekend except slacking, really should have used the time for revising for the upcoming tests but... *shrugs* who cares. Found out that i got to get all my wisdom teeth removed when i get back to Singapore, which i'm not really looking foward too.

Theres talks of someone organising a friendly rugby game between boarders against day boys sometime next week or the week after. Dunno abt the details yet but everyone is looking foward to it. Its going to be a good match.

3 tests next week, 2 maths papers and 1 physics -.-. Dunno how I'm going to survive. The school marshall been on my case recently, something about my having the improper school attire. I mean, its way pass winter yet we're still wearing the winter uniform, it gets pretty hot sometimes so i just losen my tie and roll my sleves up.

Jas introduced me to this new manga yesterday called "Death Note". Its about this kid who stumbled on this book, where by writing people's name down, one can get them killed. Something like that kid playing God with human lives. Got hooked onto it after reading the first 2 chapters. Its the same artist as the one who did "Hikaru no Go" so i can relate to its drawing style. Atm only 31 chapters have been translated, which i'll get during the upcoming holidays.

Should be heading back to the boarding house soon, do a bit of room cleaning then revision. I'm so~ dead.

Today school went by pretty quick. Didn't really do much in school as 1/4 of the seniors skipped again *shrugs*. The disclipine master was going around to all the classes looking for truants the whole morning lol.

Killed the evening by playing bball with the other asians. Met up with Jerry also, still the same lovable spastic Jerry i knew. Gave me 2 rejections and threw the ball @ my balls -.-. I just crumpled to the ground and couldn't play for like 5 mins.

I just have to post part of that day's conversation between Ugly, Mimi and me. It went something like this.

Me : You could always use your ugly stick to whack her.
Ugly : I'm not going to dirty it on her.
Mimi : *Looking scared and keep giving me and Ugly strange looks*

*Other senseless chatter going on between me and Ugly*

Me : So what time is your bus coming?
Mimi : *Still giving us the strange looks. One eyebrow arched as she stares at us*
Me : Mimi?

*Silence for about 1 minute*

Ugly : *To Mimi* He meant my baseball bat, not my male anotomy..
Mimi : *Burst out laughing before whacking me for giving her the wrong ideas*

Never knew that she had such a dirty and imaginative mind -.-""

Life goes on...

Missed an update ydae, spent the whole day + night celebrating the end of QCS. (Exam where you pen in 600 words of crap and roll a die for 7 hours over a 2 day period) Went down to the city with Ugly and Rhys for a while and met up with Mimi. I swear, if you all think that making decisions with Fur was long, wait till you met her. Spent like 5 mins deciding whether she wanted a drink then another 10 before deciding where she wanted to drink -.-"". Once we reached the stall, had to wait for another 10 mins before she FINALLY decided which drink she wanted. *pengz*

Its always entertaining watching Ugly and her talk, pure entertainment for me. You can sense the hostility radiating from them both, and even better are the verbal insults thrown at one another. In the end though, i guess the winner was Ugly. Had so much fun just spending the afternoon talking crap with everyone ^^.

Chappo gave us seniors a treat by shouting us pizza for dinner that night yay~ Everyone was overjoyed, spent the evening playing AoE2 with the other boarders before wasting the night away munching on pizza and watching T.V.

Today 1/4 of the year 12's skipped school. Most of my classes were empty, resulting in nothign being taught. Can't really blame them though, i mean after a major exam, everyone jsut wants to party. I reckon the school should just give the day off for us seniors but no... they had to give us an ISM tomorrow -.-"". Looking on the bright side, it means i can sleep in.

Not really going to do much today. Maybe just play some LAN with the other boarders until bed time lol. I've come to realise something.

"I play too much damn SG -.-"

another day gone.

Can't type much today. Com room's about to close -.-. Anyways, finally figured how do do linking. Also found this hilarious website which i just got to share with you all. Enjoys.

Good match on sunday, the boarders vs masters game. narrowly lost though, 4 - 7. No thanks to the 'great', 'unbiased' refereeing of Scholesy. Really knew when to blow the whistle, especially that time where the masters scored thanks to an offside. Yeap, you'll make a great rugby referee. Anyways, we all had fun that day lol. Cakey as planned lead us into the 'Haka', and everyone loved it. Had a great bbq later on, with lots of meat and stuff ^^.

QCS exams tomorrow, which i'm certain i'm going to flunk it. Oh well, can't really do much about it. Went down to the city today with Shawn, bought some sweet scented tea for the exams. Just hope I won't be eating the test papers as a result. Just going to get a hot shower, curl up with a nice book and get plenty of rest tonight.

Still trying to figure how to work html, slowly getting there though. Making a blog is more fun than i expected lol. Anyway, no time left to rant. Catch up with ya all next time.

Usual Rantings

Lets see.. where to start. just started this blog page, cuz got pestered by dan to start one. Yea, thats you dan, stop trying to look innocent. Anyways, I'm a total noob at html and webpages and all internet stuff so its going to take me some time to get this site up to my expectations.

Today, or yesterday to be more precise, had our school's open day. Good for the school's image, bad for the teachers and students involved. I only managed 4 hours of sleep before helping out at the bloody event. I think the visitors were probably scared away by my red bloodshot eyes. Had to set up a telescope for Earth Science display, took me nearly 20 mins to set it up and position it into the sun so that the little brats can see sun spots. I mean, who really cares about sun spots? I also had this little booth where the children can pan for 'gold', fool's gold is more appropiate. You'll be surprised how those children can really get into panning. At least they had fun -.-

Yea, also had to help out at the boarding house coffeeshop which wasn't that bad. I got to play around with the coffee machine making cappuccinos and long blacks and so on. I'm surprised that there's so many kinds of coffee. *shrugs* Anyways I got a cap for my troubles so I'm not complaining. Harlin House Rawks!

Sigh... QCS coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday. GG to me and to all the other year 12 students in Queensland. Thy day of reckoning is at hand, for thee shalt be judged. Here's well wishes to me and to all the others.

On a good note though, the long awaited Boarders vs Masters touch game will be held later today. 6 on 6 playing on a 70m by 50m field. I hope i still got enough energy to take part. Cakey, the local boarding house clown will be leading us into the 'Haka' before the match, psyching us up. Although its meant to be a game of touch, we can't really promise putting shots on them masters :p.

Yeap, good day today. Hope we'll win as well. Can't really think of anything else to write so... I'll jsut leave us with a good bye now.
