i went to the asian aerospace today!!! YAY!!! so cool! and i ate KETTLE CHIPS! yay! here's my account of the trip...

i took the bus from pasir ris interchange to changi exhibition centre. all i saw along the way were policemen carrying shotguns and machine guns, the beach, a rafale, and a copter. nothing much...

i was bloody excited as i finally had a chance to visit this year's asian aerospace. but it was disappointing. :( i came rather late, at like 3 pm, but quite a lot of stuff was still there. i especially liked the eurofighters. they're so cool. and i got a glider of it. yay! i played the flight sim, and the cartoon version of it. yay!

boeing, rafale were not bad. but the others were disappointing. ok. so maybe it was because i came late and most of the booths were gone. i liked the static displays thing. got to see the new jsf plane thing. its coming out only in 2012. :(

i didnt bring my camera. :( ARGH. oh well. there is the rsaf open house later this year anyway...i got my hold of a few freebies, took out my pack of kettle chips, and enjoyed the ride back to pasir ris. i think the view of the sea, beach, coconut trees were much more refreshing than the asian aerospace. i do hope 2006's aerospace is better...

js's blog sucks so much i wont even link it. all it says is "bo"


a moment in time.
21:38



1: shauna's new blog is so RED!! so pretty! aww... and it's in french. wow. ratehr romantic. awww.... *hintreubenhint*

2: i have weird dreams. dreamt about something i should have never dreamt about... will not speak here.

3: i fear js. to quote:

[marky-poo] my dreams are just too weird <¤H[§]X¤> says:
his smell his skills and his suckiness
AMITABHA! RUMPELSTILTSKIN! says:
And his lack of deodorant
AMITABHA! RUMPELSTILTSKIN! says:
and his amazing 1337ness at AOE

he can't even beat moderate comp. and he used "i r winner" against easy comp at eugene's house while he was gettign thrashed. he must really suck at aoe2.

i woke up at 730 today. went to cousin's wedding, opened the car door for the groom, then rushed to school for eds.

i was kinda late. i think mint was rather pissed. aaron said some people complained about not getting roles, so now she split us up into three groups and make us do our own plays and script. damn. now i will have like 2-3 scripts to memorise. :( oh well...

i played captain's ball for a while, then went to buffet lunch thing. then i went to shi bao's house. and the toilet door still cannot be locked. i managed to use a broom thing to lock it.

our raffles project is so screwed. i do hope shi bao has done a good job of decorating it. he better edit it too. or we're so dead. chin's typing and spelling sucks like hell. you cant even decipher tha damn thing. its like "rahhfels been haliad as funhger of sugfnhapisfe". damn chin damn.

we played aoe2, pokemon tcg which is really crap, snood, gta2 etc etc. rather fun day. but very hectic.

note to myself: analyser is not spelt as analiser.

ARGH. acsi changed from aok to warcraft 3. i mean like, they nver told us for 6 weeks while we practiced aoe, and now they tell us in a week's notice that it is warcraft. the acsi bastards are cheaters!


a moment in time.
21:16



i didnt do any pushups today. yay. im a good boy.

i play vball before school started. yay. i made some good saves and shots again. but i should take shots that come my way, not wait for other people to take them. i better keep that in mind. and i still have no idea why my one arms hits are better than the normal ways.

we played soccer during pe. a match. i could have taken that shot, but i passed to js and he kicked it totally wide. damn. i was so near the goal that if i had taken the shot i might have actualy scored. we lost 3-1. :( oh well.

we changed positions and groupings. im now sitting beside amanda, with darren, wen quan and ying xian. i think wen quan took my star. damn. i did like that star. i think ill buy a white heart and star to replace it. yay. now jeremy is sitting beside nicole, and aaron is sitting with audrey. how romantic. awwww...

recess was bball and vball. yay. rather boring. geog test was ok, rather easy. hope i get an A. mi week briefing was crap. eds was fun. we did mime. i dont think im good at it. i seriously lack hard co ordination. i guess that's why my drumming skills suck, and my mime looks rather weird. but i think im ok so far.

played capt ball with eds. yay. how fun. had a subway 6 inch honey mustard ham sandwich. yay. it was crunchy and delicious! so yummy!

played against 7 moderate comps. holy shit. comps suck as hell. i built a castle in place of every one of their town centres after i defeated them. fear my power. i have seen the power of the scorpion. i didnt even need to research heavy scorpions. 50 scorps, 50 knights, the ultimate army. hordes of doom. (i love the word hordes now)

damn. my counter isnt working. :( it must be about 4200 now...


a moment in time.
21:40



finally finished studying geog. im waiting for rise of nations: thrones and patriots, then i'll buy the full set. it's a good game, totally beating aoe2 at gameplay, graphics, concepts etc. yep. im so gonna buy it. and gta vc. :D

i did 40 pushups again during english. i never knew "damn" and "crap" were bad words. :S and i managed to actually finish the summary thing.

chinese held good news for me. i got 75.5 for chinese! yay! i have no idea why my mum is so upset. i told her mr yeo said that nicole and nigel would get higher than me, and she says that why i cant get 90%. :S so wrong. she must have forgotten im in secondary school.

geog, science = boring. geog test tmr. argh. i better get an A for geog. i need all A's this year. and i'm hoping for it. maths test was ok. rather easy. but i think i made a few careless mistakes. :( although i didnt even check with my frens... :S

mso rocked. reuben and hao jun got thrashed by wen quan and eugene. eugene actually managed to research spies against reuben and hao jun. and this was the first ever game i had seen won before the time limit ended. it was the biggest margin i had ever seen since my game against chin and nicholas. oh well. most of us now doubt their ability to win the comp. but they should be ok. i think. YOU GO GIRLS!

i played one game with nigel as my ally against joa ee and nicholas. obviously we won. nicholas got so thrashed by us. i consumed his base with my hordes in like 1 minute. and my trebs hadnt even reached there. then we proceeded to attack joa ee. joa ee was considerably better. he managed to fend off our attacks. but in the end we still won. duh.

yay. spammers gone. i hope for good.

damn. the spammers are back. the damn bastards.


a moment in time.
21:23



ok. managed to steer clear from all the stuff i got yesterday. i had 33 new emails in my mailbox and they only took up 1% of my inbox space, all asking for free gundbound stuff. :S so anyway, mr siva was off playign with our thai visitors, so we had a free pe. but we arent bad students. we didnt go for recess did we? we played sports. thats what pe's all about. we are good students.

the chinese test was ok. i dont think i got that a1 i wanted. but i hope i got at least 70. yay. so far, through reliable calculatiosn done with jun kiak, we have derived the fact that both of us are most probably gonna get 70-75. and reliable it is.

so we played vball till bislab. i di quite a few good counters. yay. but i think i hit one vein three times, and its gone black. :S sadness. bislab was fun. we presented our stuff. we took 15 minutes to create the presentation at vina's house, no wonder it was so crappy. ok. so maybe "suddenly sexy" isnt such a good phrase after all...

yoshinoya has this 3.95 for one set meal offer thing. it was good. :S oh well. better study for maths n geog now. (and play games)

ok. just one phrase. to all you guys who spammed my blog (nicholas, reuben, gary, max, hao jun etc) . SCREW YOU ALL. no seriously. and i didnt write all those stuff about gay sex and a bigger penis.

and it's like my whole class plays aoe2? including the cool reuben and hao jun... who forced the teachers to get them in the competition. :S we have to play aoe2. it's not our choice. and i didnt say all those shit about aoe2 rocks. it sucks. gta vc is much better.

er. just tell me what's wrong with me... i'll fix it, then please stop spamming.

ok. now they're looking for chin. what lamers.

a few tips. if you're gonna spam me, at least use some of your puny brains. once my email is flooded with your spam emails, i can easily clear them the next day, and not get my account screwed. and if you're gonna spam my guestbook. it's like i can easily delete it off. and of course, my dear tagboard. it's rather easy to block you guys. even though i havent done so. and if this is how you thank me for giving my homework for you guys to copy, then i dont really appreciate it.


a moment in time.
21:14



so reuben and hao jun spammed my tagboard. a few words to you guys. firstly, i am not upset about not getting into the competition. the competition isnt important to me. all i said was that i hope you guys beat ri ok? and thats sorta complimentary.

and i know my blog sucks and your blog (reuben) is like the coolest around with legolas and gandalf on it. and i know your poems are like so much better than mine. pieces like blissen and sorrowness sucked.

i already stopped writing poems because of your comments if you noticed. but you dont have to boost YOUR ego on MY blog. it's lame. anyway, i wish you guys the best of luck. you'll need it.

i had to do 40 pushups during literature for not taking out my merchant of venice on time and using the word "damn" in front of mdm john. honestly, i had no idea it was a vulgar word. so if "fuck" is used too much on tv, the next generation will be using it in everyday speech. yay. like boiler room guys. all they say is the f word.

the rest of the lessons were rather boring. rather surprisingly, i managed to get past all the periods without falling asleep.

ae was real interesting. we were given a list of items we managed to salvage during a plane crash in this real cold country thing. my group would survive for a while. nicole's group... well... they would die, but die happily. they put all the fun and rather useless stuff as first.

their survival = orgies (i mean like, wouldnt your dick freeze before it even came out in -40 degrees celsius?), whisky, cannibalism, russian roulette etc. interesting. for my group, shi bao and jeremy would have already died from overlaughter, i would have gotten the first sympton of hypothermia (insanity) and chin would be eaten by that evil butter/whisky bear trying to steal our food. yay. at least we would die happy too. :D

went to vina's house with hui yi for bislab. actually got some stuff done. moral: things never get done with mun yi around. she only makes us listen to crap music. and pig on chips. and ice cream. yay! ice cream! so rocks! argh. *is getting addicted to the creamy temptation* :( won't get fat again. will not get fat again. *hammer into brain*

ok. so during some time of the day, me, sb and js were talking. then i came up with an idea. an a brilliant one it was. a song called "smells like js" maybe a parody of "smells like nirvana". so now we're comign up with lyrics and a tune. yay.

note to reuben: i do not like shauna. i am not your competitor. eugene is. keep that in mind.


a moment in time.
20:53

Monday, February 23, 2004

yay. funky day! wait. it's monday. ok. we had an english compre test. it was too easy. i really think there are trick questions in there, but the last time we thought there were trick questions we got 'em wrong. so this time i trusted the logic left side of my brain and did the damn thing. at least we didnt need to do summary. i HATE summaries. :(

we did wushu for chinese and acc. yay! its really hard on my arms and back. my legs are too long for my arms. assembly and pccg were boring. home econs was sewing. im ok at sewing. but rather tedious. teh cancer talk was rather boring, but i managed to get thru it. went home with hui yi, cai xiang and met bor ray. yay.

so i managed to sew teh stuff. now i need glue thing to stick the stuff together. :( oh well. i just beat 3 hard comps. wen quan backed out. stupid git. (gitass) anyway. gotta study for chinese. and eat oats that my mum just cooked. yay.


a moment in time.
21:11

Sunday, February 22, 2004

ok. im not upset anymore about aoe2. im just worried. i really want dhs to win so we can show those ri bast***ds that we're better than them (especially bor ray). i just hope wen quan, eugene, reuben and hao jun takes all we gave them during the practice games and beat the hell out of ri's sorry asses.

we played games during church. the one where you have to act out the word thing. i think its called cherades or something. iw as first to go. got 70 points! yay! ok. i went to vinny's house after lunch. straver and moomoo were already there.

we listened to old music, then hui yi, continued listening to music, tried starting on the project at last, but failed to resist the temptation of luscious ice cream. so we watched finding nemo then did the first page of the presentation (cover page) and went home. how miserable. as expected, we didnt do much. vina's house is food heaven.

ok. so i tried looking for the bus stop. damn. i walked all the way to parkway parade. i have no idea why i thought the bus stop would be there. so before i could start ranting, i had already bought a rice mos burger thing. and went to this pirated cd shop with lots of cool stuff. its even cheaper than the one opposite my home. then it struck me. why are there always pirated cd shops near police post/stations? isn't it rather ironic. the one near my home is near like one police station and one police post, and the one near parkway is in walking distance of a police post.

i mean like, dont they ever get caught. both shops have been there for like half a year now. do they bribe the policemen or something? :S oh well. took 31 home. bought cornetto which i find i have a weakness for now. :D so yummy. oh well. i gope things get better next week.

time to do handphone pouch design.

yay. went to wedding thing. so nice. so pretty! awwww... borrowed lotr for fun. :S just realised i really want to go to switzerland.

19:39



i just realised im better at air strategies than sea and ground strategies. damn. why couldnt the aeroplane be invented earlier? then aok would have aircraft then i could beat everyone in mso. :D oh well. fear my capt ball strategies. :S


a moment in time.
13:47



hooray! today was so COOOOL! we finally finished auditions, casting and now we're starting to develop the play, props, and everything. and i still havent memorised my lines. there are a lot. i guess main characters do have a lot of lines. but its fun. i get to act depressed, angry and shocked. SO COOL.

we played capt ball after eds. SO COOL! i scored at least 5. maybe 10. YAY! and the sec 3s were sayign like "mark Mark!" which got them rather confused. then some people tried marking me but i kept running away.

so they said "Mark cannot be marked". and gave up. i managed to do some cool moves. to me that is. anyway. i still managed to score that direct half court thing ball. yay. my best capt ball game ever. i love playing with eds.


a moment in time.

Friday, February 20, 2004

because of requests by a particular psb and visa, the blog is back. ill take the negative comments "like a man"

ok. so today, i got cured of yesterday's "depression" thingy, because there's anotehr aoe2 comp. yay. :D ok. so the comp's not that important. but if we're gonna sen hao jun and reuben, i think there's gonna be a prob. they cant work together, and i totally thrashed hao jun.

i helped sam chye beat wen quan flat by giving him strategies on building positions. i have a feeling me and sam chye can beat eugene and wen quan. but i wont go overconfident. i cant believe they took kevin and sam chye out lor.

score is not that matters. if 3 armies attack you at once, you can never defend unless u have never depleting resources. so score doesnt count in the selection. the seniors should have seen how we played and selected, instead of going by score.

the only reason why hao jun got highest score was because no one attacked him. and the only reason why i got the lowest score was because everyone attacked me. it's not fair. many of us are petitioning now. yay.

but it's too late. mrs koh already taken out sam n kev. hao jun n reub are so deaded.

God bless them and have mercy on their souls. please let dhs win. i wont lose face to bloody bor ray.

ok. enough about aoe2. pe was ok. i can now control the ball properly and even shoot rather accurately. i finally have enough practice, but not enough to beat "pros" like nick, terence, darren etc etc. :S

for eds we did physical drama. all actions no words. yay. how fun. we did comic strip stuff.

during basketball, they bet-ted that i could not score two 3 pointers. and i scored two in a row. and no others got in. not even sam chye or sam low. is it some sort of jinxy aura of death and gloom? :S oh well. so i was captain. today i scored about 15 shots in 2 games. yay. how very fun.

oh well. nothing else to do, so i might as well do geog now. i'll create an aoe2 scenario later and give wen quan some prac. he'll need it for ri n acsi. :D

why God? why did you have to make me win all the other games of aoe2 i played, then make me lose horribly in the last 2, the most crucial ones? why? why did you have to take all my friends away? why did you have to make me lose out in history and chinese? WHY?


a moment in time.
22:23



i guess my life is at it's lowest now. im feeling bloody depressed. i dont have anything to live for left.

we did health check today. how fun. my left eyesight is now perfect, but my right is worsening, but at a slower rate. yay. and my backbone's ok. yay. i wish i still had my perfect eyesight. one can only dream...

aoe2 was crap today. during the 2 games i played, the other team always attacke me first, and they always massed their armies, so it would be overwhelming and my friends would just sen like 5 troops to counter 50. :( ok i didn't get in. my score was like 2k only for both. ya. im not in the competition. look, samuel, nigel. you can say all you want about me being your teachers and stuff, but you're in the comp and im not, so stop trying to cheer me up. i totally give up on aoe2. it's all over.

you know, i think ive got no true friends nowadays. when they need help, like in homework and consolation, i'm always there for them, giving them my homework to let them save their asses. then when i need them for minor stuff, like just to encourage me, they just stay away and say that i suck and dont ask for help from them. is that what frens are for? it's a sad world. i do everything they want, and they do absolutely nothing besides being sarcastic and criticising me.

man, everything's just gone down the drain... my poems, which i thought were just the perfect mediums for expressing my feelings, my aoe2, which was totally wrecked by 3 vs 1 attacks, my frens, my grades, as low as 14/25 for science and 13/20 for hsitory, my 2 best subjects. it's all gone.

yay. ting xie done. was annoying my dad with linkin park. :S

pe was cool! we got to play soccer! so fun! list of dangerous people: SHI BAO, tian cheng, wen quan. i'll stay away from them during soccer. they're scary. nothing interesting for the rest of the day. today was not good bball day for me. i didnt score much. i didnt even get in a single 3 pointer lor, out of 5 shots. hmmph.

but i got 3 in a row during a game after bizlab. yay. but i got in 3 in a rows everyday... :(

speaking of bizlab. we did our ads stuff today. so cool! i did the ad. :D and hui yi took a video. my life will be ruined if this becomes as popular as william hung. its me doing my fake john travolta pose. and it sucks. :( well... i guess our ad covered eveything. i think it was good. including js doing the pole dance.

ok. js. a few words about him. im staying away from him after he has played bball. sorry to say, but go get deodorant dude. u need it. at least i dont have a bo as strong as his. well good luck js. ill need deodorant soon. my parents say i shoudl use cologne instead :S

oh well... guess the day's over. there's health check tmr. :S hope it's not as sick as p6's

another of my stupid poems. this time it shows how useless i felt when i had 9k+ point and the comp won with 10k

so near...yet so far
a poem

10 trebuchets
10 petards
10 armored elephants
20 huskarls
20 knights
40 calvary archers

wave after wave they came
attack, destroy, burn
razed buildings to the ground
total annihilation

it was the end of the enemy
but it countered. countered with:

2 knights
5 trebuchets
5 monks
100 chu ko nu's

they all fell
fell 'neath thou sword
dumb-strucken by arrows

trebuchets bombed
petards demolished
elephants trampled
huskarls swiped
knights slaughtered
archers rained

it was a living hell.

but then. it all ended.

10000 points.

VICTORY! screamed i.

i ruled the world

my empire was boundless.

i had defeated the human.


a moment in time.
21:27



omg! ME AND SHI BAO WAS PLAYIGN AOE2 VS COMP. we were playing score. we were about to defeat the enemy castle and all his fking buildings when the enemy got 10 more wood or something and beat us. OMG. I HATE SCORE. even when you're about to win you can lose. hmmph.

mr yeo wasn't here. i think he shouted too much on friday. :( get well soon... we played a lot. like taiti and stuff. i got full marks for maths! YAY! but i only got 14/25 for science. :( ARGH. i cna't lose to ernest in science. must...beat...him... hmmph. or at least beat him again in nsw. :D

AE was crap. mi week is being held in a rubbish island. but at least my team is good. and sam n nigel promised to do some work. i guess it'll work out. and we got mrs lim. i dont know if she is a plus or minus. :S oh well.

i went to tamp mall after sch with lots of ppl. js took pics of me can-can dancing. :S i hope they're nice. i don't really trust js with a camera. did i see him take a photo up nicole's skirt? :S ok. getting weird illusions. i ate COOKIES AND CREAM!!! CREPE!!! SOFT SHELL CRAB!!! YAY!!! so COOL!

i saw olivia on the way out with them. she looked rather dazed and unhappy. i wonder what is troubling her. :S ok maybe it's just another illusion. oh well. we went to macdonalds. they were playign WESTLIFE!!! MUSIC!!! VIDEOS!!! WOOT! SO COOL! the songs are real nice. but the only good video was bop bop baby. better than wwe. the fighting was SO COOL!

FEAR ME! i managed to be 2 moderate comp. YAY! and as i was saying. me and sb were thrashing the hell out of this shit comp, then it got 10k points. damn. so near yet so far...

EMPIRE OF THE KINGS

in that lay thy dragon
the castle stood strong
towers stood erect among grass
feudalling, booming, rushing

as the deep waters flow
caresses the vicious ships
fishies, swim, swim, go
escape the battle that is to come

cry! at arms! fight for thou king!
marchst into death, the militia did
fallen upon arrows of poison
the huns are coming! fear!

wave, volleys, spikes of doom
one by one the swordsman fell
then came the scorpions
stung the bowmen like hornets

a hundred bowmen 'gainst
one rock-hardened castle
towers fell like leaves
onto the blood-drenched ground

they died. yes they did
arrows lost into the wilderness
onagers, mangonels in pieces
swordmen, battered and broken

then came the calvary
a second wave of doom
twenty. twenty trebuchets.
hordes of huskarls, knights

the huns are coming! fear!
no longer did the castle stand
rock bombs struck it at the weakness
and the castle crumbled and fell

those who survived faced evil
ruthlessly slaughtered
knife at throats. chop chop.
heartbroken by piercesage

a black cloud, thunder
bolts struck mother gaia
fear! fear! the wrath of God!
fear his anger and rage

but the men did not listen
fought, fought, oblivion
slaughtered, battered, whacked
and then, a tornado

consumed it did.
wrecked the elephante army
the wrath. it was the wrath.
and grapes fell, onto the earth

aftermath was red.
crimsom black-stained ground.
a ray, pierced the darkened sky.
and the world was at peace.

church service was rather inappropriate to me. yah. lunch = crepes... and the worst tasting hot dog i have ever eaten. it tasted really like vomit, or at least something worse than my own pee, and it could make you scream your head off in the middle of orchard road. at least i had a bottle of water to sooth my tastebuds.

played aoe2, star wars in the afternoon. and interviewed yvonne poon. for the vegetarian stuff. her poor pet rabbit. i hope william doesnt die. :( i like william. he's so cute and cuddly. :D vina, you better take care of him.

ok. so me n sb were playing aoe2. we played gainst 2 hard comps. we got thrashed by two hard comps! omg omg omg. but i beat sb in score drastically. yay. finally he fears me. *off to play 2 on 2 moderate comp*

some quiz from emode. just two characters: ":S"

Mark, you're a Rock Star!

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Rock Star which means you are a Success / Seeker Your primary sub-type is defined by "Success" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Seeker" characteristics.

That means you crave attention, the limelight, and the fawning admiration of millions. Chances are you have a bevy of fans and friends, and you like knowing how much others appreciate you. On top of this, you're a go-getter and you really shine under pressure.

yay. happy valentine's day!!! eds was cool! ok. so we're doing cat's engineer now. and i'm fong! the main character! yay! but there're so maaannnyyy lines... hope i can remember them. sam didn't even try for anything. i wish he would be more enthu about eds. :S after that, me n sam went to kfc and met nick, nic, audrey, yuhui, eugene, darren and yvonne.

the chicken was VERY oily. it dripped like water and when i wiped it with tissue, the tissue was covered in oil. ew. i dont think i like chicken anymore... :( poor audrey had nose bleed, hope she's ok now.

we played bball. me, sexy n nick played with these two eurasians boys n one chinese boy. i think we thrased them. i managed to score at least 5, but i sprained my finger. it hurts now. :( but at least we won. :D

i went to eugene's house, played lots of aoe2. i found my best kind of civilisations. those that don't need houses or prefab shelters (huns or trade federation) although the units are considerably lousier, i somehow still manage to defeat the enemy. too bad there ain't no huns in aok. :(

oh well. dad brought me to the barber. i dint shave, but i think my hairstyle is somewhat a crew cut. so i think js n nick will be satisfied with it. i think it's better than my previous hair.

had subway for dinner. yay! seafood n crab six incher. yay. so delicious...

well guys, happy valentine's day. may love live forever...

i feel more optimistic today because valentine's day is tomorrow, and i did better at bball today, and aoe2.

english was cool. we got to play sentence games like we do on the bus home. yay. so fun. william hung rocks! we played soccer during pe. i was ok, but a lot of other people are better than me. i still can't juggle well.

(note: just called sb cos his granny's worried about him. he slept on the bus again. this time for three hours. he better bring an alarm clock next time 0.0)

history was writing, chin, the new dictator extrodinaire was talking too much for me to do the damn essay. during recess i played bball. lousy game. only got 50% score rate. :(

geography was kinda weird. but i forgot what happened. i remember the flow chart only. and that is NOT a good thing.

science was better. the worksheet was so damn easy, most of the time me, sexy, and yuhui were using the pronuciation function to make the comp speak out long 10-syllable phrases how fun.

eds was stage combat. we learnt kicks today and staged a scene for each group. yay. mafia rocks. after eds i played bball again. it was much funner this time. i had a score rate of ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!!! YAY!! i took 3 shots. and scored. yay!

my dad brought me for dinner at some isolated food centre in between js's n visa's house. there was some weird cuttlefish kang kong salad with sweet sauce, which i didnt really like, and a big plate of hokkien mee and a botak coconut. (i think i look more like a botak coconut now, after wen quan cut off my hair) i love coconuts. so sweet and yummy.

well... just finished aoe2. i beat the comp flat. but it resigned before i could get 10k. ok. so i killed everything, so it resigned. i could have waited. oh well.

i am currently worried on who to interview for the vegetarian stuff. maybe yvonne s4 or someone.

this has become my fave song again because i guess it applies rather well to me. cept the make love part. :S

Suddenly she's
Leaving
Suddenly the
Promise of love has gone
Suddenly
Breathing seems so hard to do

Carefully you
Planned it
I got to know just
A minute to late, oh girl
now I understand it
All the times we
Made love together
Baby you were thinking of him

Why do I love you
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do
Like I always do
You should've told me
Why did you have to be untrue (love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do

Ain't gonna show no
Weakness
I'm gonna smile
And tell the whole world I'm fine
I'm gonna keep my senses
But deep down
When no one can hear me
Baby I'll be crying for you

Why do I love you
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do
Like I always do
You should've told me
Why did you have to be untrue (love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do

Can't go back
Can't erase
Baby your smiling face oh no
I can think of nothing else but you
Suddenly

Why do I love you
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do
Like I always do
You should've told me
Why did you have to be untrue (love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do

I'm just negative. The following be the topics, and the reasons why. (something like an essay about my feelings)

worried: financial issues. just plain financial issues. i'm worried my parents havent got enough moeny. i've spent a whole lot last year, but i've been saving this year, but i guess it's too late. my dad hasnt got bonuses, or salary for the past 7 months. i do hope he gets some income soon, or i'll be really worried. :(

broken: i suck at aoe2, i suck at basketball, i suck at drawing. i suck at almost everything i try. and those that i have, are now surpassed by other people. my only hope lies in my education and aviation, which isn't really important to other people and myself. i find myself living for nothing. and a lot of people would rather have me dead anyway.

heartbroken?: ok. well. i can't comment much on this can i? but yeah, i think most people know what i'm going through. all because of one person. :S

:S-ed: ok. we're not doing romeo and juliet anymore. how fun. now we're doing some weird play called the cat's engineer written by mint. it's rather good, but i don't really get the plot. i hope it's at least as good or better than romeo and juliet. sorry to disappoint you shauna and matthew. yeah.

PWNED: ok. we played aoe2 today for practice. we challenged the sec 3s. omg. i had never seen an army of navy that big before. and the sec 2s were really owned big time. and acsi is supossed to be better than that. i have a feeling we're gonna dieee.

so i'm feeling rather downcast now. no romeo, no aoe2, no money. i might as well die now. :(

and thus, this be the play:

the CAT'S ENGINEER

A play by Mint

Including (in order of appearance):

Cat, an alley she-cat

Fong, a retrenched engineer

Dog, a pedigree collie friend of Cat's

Cat's 'husband' Tom

The Merlion

And others…

Please note: this is not intended to cast any aspersions on engineers of any type…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Scene one: a crowded street. People coming and going constantly in huge waves. Fong, wearing a crumpled suit and tie, sits on bench to far right, head in hands. Cat emerges from crowd, bouncing and jostling to front of stage.]

Cat: Phew! Stupid humans…push and shove all the time…like trying to swim through an ocean of stinky sweaty bodies…can't they ever settle down and relax? And none of them wants to give food to a hungry cat! So selfish…[looks across, sees Fong.] Mmm…maybe he's got something to eat…maybe he'll share!

[Cat minces up to Fong, rubs against his legs and purrs. Fong ignores her. Cat jumps onto bench and rubs on his shoulder, purring louder.]

Fong: What? Get lost! I don't like cats!

Cat: Why not?

Fong: They smell! And they're dirty too—will you get away from me!

Cat: I do not smell. YOU do. And I'm definitely cleaner than you are. I washed myself just an hour ago. When did YOU last bathe?

Fong: Wait a minute. You talk!

Cat: So do you.

Fong: But—but you're a cat! Cats don't talk!

Cat: You're very biased, you know. Why shouldn't I talk if I want to?

Fong: I—uh—

Cat: I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat? Share a bit with me…nice man…

Fong: I don't even have anything for myself to eat—let alone some stray cat!

Cat: Go buy something, then. Then you can give me some too. Fish is good…fresh or fried or baked, whatever.

Fong: Buy something? Madam, I was retrenched three months ago and I've been sleeping on the streets since then! I have no money at all!

Cat: Retrenched? I guess that happens…what a pity. You probably can't get me anything to eat, then. Who retrenched you, anyway?

Fong: Who do you think? My employer! Sway Company! They gave me less than a week's notice and practically no severance pay—I mean, how could they do this to me?

Cat: Well, go get another job, then. There must be plenty lying around.

Fong: Oh, of course there're lots of jobs available! And not one of them wants to accept me! Overqualified, they said! Can't afford my pay, they said!

Cat: Overqualified?

Fong: I'm a graduate! A Master's in electrical engineering! A Licensed Electrical Worker! I was a Senior Executive Electrical Engineer at Sway—I was drawing a ten thousand per month salary—and now they tell me I'm overqualified!

Cat: What happened to your savings, then? With that kind of salary you should have a pretty good nest egg. Not to mention a nest—whatever happened to your house? Can't you even go and stay with your relatives or friends?

Fong: I—uh—none of your business!

Cat: Huh! Humans!

Fong: Oh, this is crazy…I'm sitting here talking to a stray cat about getting a new job…what the hell! I might as well take up conning old people for a living—[waves around a newspaper article about the elderly falling prey to conmen.]

Cat: That's not a nice thing to do.

Fong: Nice? Look at these old people—they're so gullible, they believe anything! They can't even hold onto their own money! They deserve to lose it—

Cat: You really aren't a very nice person. I bet you wouldn't have told me that if I'd been a human woman and not just an alley cat. You know what? I think I want to show you something. Maybe you'll change your mind about old people then.

Fong: Huh? Hey! Let me go! What are you doing?

[Cat ignores Fong's protests and hauls him physically offstage.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Scene two: a senior citizens' nursing home. Attractive surroundings with flowering plants and colourful furnishings. A few elderly people sit at low tables.]

Cat: This is one of my favourite places. It's very peaceful here and I like keeping the old people company. Besides, they feed me sometimes. See that old ah ma over there? She loves cats. She always keeps food for when I come round.

Fong: I don't believe this! You drag me all the way here so you can beg for food from old people?

Cat: You don't have anything better to do, after all…it's a pretty place, isn't it? Nice building…airy place…lots of plants…this place always makes me feel so sad even though I like it.

Fong: Sad? Why?

Cat: It's the old people. They seem lonely…

Fong: Lonely? What do you mean? They're very well taken care of—I know this home, the nurses are thoroughly qualified, and the surroundings are very pleasant. I wouldn't mind staying here myself!

Cat: So they're well taken care of. But do you really think that's enough? Have a look around. These people sit around or lie around the whole day with nothing to do. Some of them are too sick even to chat with the others. The only thing they can hope for is their children's visits. And even those are rare because the children are busy, they can't spend all their time here. Or what about those who were abandoned by their children? No one visits them!

Fong: That's absurd. Old people can always find something to do! Look at those old men who sit in void decks and play Chinese chess and talk the whole day long! They're enjoying themselves!

Cat: The old people who gather in void decks to chat are enjoying themselves, certainly. They have their friends, their hobbies, their interest in life. But the people in this nursing home don't. Look. They're sitting alone. They hardly talk to each other. They're lonely.

Fong: So they can't be bothered to make friends with each other. That's hardly my business, is it?

Cat: Are you really that insensitive? Think of how'd you feel in their place! And about this not being your business…do you mean to say that even if you were in a position to help out these people, you wouldn't?

Fong: You can talk about helping all you like, but what makes you think it'll do any good? And do they even want to be helped?

Cat: Huh! I'm not talking to you any more. [Goes over to the old woman and purrs.]

Old woman: Eh…miaow-miaow—come here, got thing to eat—jiak ah…

Fong: Stupid cat! How come they feed some bloody stray but no one gives me anything to eat?

Cat: Because they know even stray cats like me matter. Hah! Professional engineer? You can't even figure out such a basic fact of life.

Fong: Damn! I'm starving…[He paces up and down the stage, then suddenly clenches his teeth, drops to all fours and crawls toward the old woman.] Miaow?

Old woman: Seow ah! Act like cat! [Takes off her slipper and throws it at him.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Scene three. By the side of a road.]

Fong: So you go there to get fed. All very well for you! But what am I supposed to do?

Cat: I don't just go there to get fed. The food's more of a bonus, really. I go there to keep the old people company…they like having me around, even though I'm just a cat.

Fong: But why? It's not as if you have to complete 80 hours of community service or something—

Cat: Pffft! Completing hours, earning salary, showing off your degree—is that all you can think about? I go there because I can. I keep the old people company because it makes them feel good and it doesn't cost me anything. They treat me like I matter, and I treat them like they matter—isn't that what's important?

Fong: …

Cat: Oh, yeah. I got something for you. [Hands him a $10 note.] There, now you can go get something to eat too.

Fong: How—where did you get the money from?

Cat: Dog? You there? [Enter Dog.] Dog, this is the person I was telling you about, the one who needed the money. He's a retrenched engineer—personally I don't think that's surprising, we've got too many engineers as it is—anyway, he's broke and got nowhere to go. Hey, retrenched engineer! This is my friend Dog. He's good at helping people out—yeah, and he always has cash on hand for when they need it.

Dog: Good afternoon, sir. Always a pleasure to meet one of Cat's friends. I don't believe I caught your name?

Fong: Uh—I—

Cat: There's a monogram on his tie that says Fong A.C. Either that's his name, or his tie's some sort of cheapskate rip-off.

Dog: A pleasure, Mr Fong.

Fong: This is crazy! First a cat, now a talking dog!

Dog: The world has never been a rational place, Mr Fong. Now—I hear you're currently unemployed? A small monetary handout won't do much good for someone in your circumstances. What you need is a steady job.

Fong: A talking dog that offers me a job—all right, all right, go on. Things can't get much worse than they already are.

Dog: I am an assistant at a self-help service which offers job placements to the unemployed. While the openings are understandably of a less exclusive nature than what you will have been used to, I am sure we will be able to find you something suitable.

Fong: I don't believe this…

Dog: Here is my card; the people at the service will attend to your case as soon as possible. And don't worry about being over-qualified: we believe in giving everyone an opportunity to prove himself, whatever his background, education or work experience.

[Fong leaves, shaking his head.]

Dog: And what about you? How are you doing these days?

Cat: Well enough for a stray…come to think of it, better than the human strays do. Poor things. They have so much to worry about.

Dog: You're still a stray? I thought you went to the Kitty Club Home.

Cat: Hmph! They only wanted pedigreed cats! Too good to take in common alley cats like me. Anyway I couldn't afford their prices…even when they take in alley cats, they double the rates for us.

Dog: If only these people would understand that you have to give everyone a chance…

Cat: Huh, I don't want to go there anyway…all those high-class purebreds looking at me like I was something dirty…

Dog: Maybe you could try the Puppy Rest. It's a home for dogs, and it takes in everyone who comes.

Cat: You going blind or something? I'm a cat, not a dog!

Dog: But that doesn't have to matter. If you need help, they'll give it, whether you're a dog, a cat or even a chicken. The Puppy Rest does a lot of social work besides taking in strays, and they don't mind who they help.

Cat: Well, if you say so…although I wish everyone was so open-minded.

Dog: I'd better go. I have a lot of work to catch up on. Take care of yourself, Cat. [Leaves.]

[Cat sits down at the edge of the stage and starts to wash herself. Re-enter Fong.]

Fong: Out of the question! I am NOT going to do that!

Cat: Do what? How come you're back already?

Fong: Do you know what those—those welfare vets asked me to do?

Cat: Am I interested?

Fong: They told me to be a dog-walker! Me! A qualified professional engineer babysitting a pair of dogs!

Cat: Don't you like dogs?

Fong: No I do NOT!

Cat: You're pretty unappreciative, aren't you? Where's that money Dog gave you—[snatches the $10 note and runs away with it] Ah ha! Now I can put this to much better use than you ever would!

Fong: Wait a minute! Come back! That's my money!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Scene three: a fish market. Cat dances through the stalls with Fong chasing her.]

Cat: Fish! I love fish! Especially when it's fresh! Oh, what a lovely smell! How much fresh fish can $10 buy?

Fong: Come back here, you bloody cat! Wait till I catch you!

Cat: I LOVE fresh fish! [She jumps right into a floor display of still-alive, wriggling fish and rolls around ecstatically.] It's still wriggling! I'm in heaven!

[Fong rushes up to the edge of the display and grabs at her. He overbalances and falls into it as well. The fishmonger rushes up angrily.]

Fishmonger: What the hell you doing! I make you pay for that, you know!

[Cat escapes with a fish in each hand and runs away to the edge of the stage. Fong goes after her.]

Fong: Stinking cat! I'll kill you!

[Enter Tom, who is at least twice Fong's size.]

Tom: Hoi! Leave her alone!

Cat: HI HUBBY! [and jumps into Tom's arms, fish and all.]

Fong: What the—ANOTHER bloody cat!

Tom: What did you call me!

Cat: Don't hit him Tom, he's a stray just like us, some retrenched engineer. Hey, have a fish! It's still wriggling!

Fong: Cats! Fish! Damn the lot of them!

Cat: What's wrong with fish…I love fish…wriggling fish…hey retrenched engineer, meet my husband Tom! He likes fish too! All cats love fish!

Tom: Not exactly…that's a bit of a generalization. Like saying all Muslims are terrorists. Just because I'm a cat doesn't mean I have to love fish…

Cat: But you do anyway! Oh, how's the kittens? All grown up already?

Tom: Haven't seen them in a while. I think they're starting their own families.

Cat: That's good! That's really good…families make a strong society, you know…great to support you when things happen. Do you have a family, retrenched engineer? You could ask them to help you out.

Fong: None of your business!

Cat: If you don't have one you should get one. Families are lovely things to have. Oh, here's your money, by the way. It's a bit fishy, I'm afraid…

Fong: Fish! Cats! The whole lot of you can go to hell!

Tom: I've got a friend who might not appreciate that much. Come here, retrenched engineer. I think you've got a bad attitude, and I think it needs changing.

Fong: What? Let go of me! Someone help! I'm being kidnapped by a pair of cats!

Tom: Hullo! Merlion! I've got some bad attitude for you to correct!

Merlion: You again? What is it this time?

Fong: It—talks!

Merlion: Naturally I talk. I have a mouth, don't I?

Fong: It's a statue! A plaster statue of a made-up creature! How can it talk?

Merlion: Your human looks a bit hysterical, Tom. And it smells rather fishy, too. Shall I clean it up a little?

Tom: Go ahead.

[The Merlion swivels on its pedestal and spits about fifty litres of water onto Fong.]

Merlion: Now what bad attitude has it got?

Tom: He doesn't like cats or fish.

Cat: He's inconsiderate and insensitive and he's got a huge ego. He thinks he's too good for our help.

Fong: This is a nightmare! Someone help me wake up!

Merlion: People with a bad attitude usually have a reason for it. Why do you have a bad attitude, human?

Fong: This is a dream…I want to wake up…

Merlion: Hmm. Since you feel this is a dream, I'll help you wake up if you explain what's wrong.

Fong: Everything's been a nightmare since I was retrenched…

Merlion: And what happened when you were retrenched?

Fong: All right. This is a dream. It's got to be. The Merlion can't talk in real life. Therefore this must be a dream! It's perfectly all right to tell dream people things because they aren't reall. All right. I'll tell you.

[Cat and Tom move away politely.]

Fong: My boss said he didn't need anyone in my position any more—it was too expensive to maintain and it wasn't much use. So he retrenched me. I was too ashamed to go home and face my wife and children…I stayed out on the streets and tried to find a job, but I couldn't. I almost wanted to commit suicide…

Cat: Humans! How can they take these things so seriously? It's only a job. Why want to kill yourself over it?

Tom: He should have gone home and explained it to his family. They'd have understood, wouldn't they—that's what a family's for, isn't it? Like this they'll be so worried about him. His not coming back'd have broken them up worse than his losing his job.

Merlion: Being retrenched and jobless affected you very badly, but that's no reason to take it out on other people. Why didn't you try harder to get another job?

Fong: I—oh, all right! The only jobs available were menial ones—really low pay—and I thought it was beneath me. I'm a graduate…

Cat: They really take that silly piece of paper seriously, don't they…

Merlion: You've made yourself very unhappy for nothing, you know.

Fong: Yes, rub it in! Everyone I've talked to since I was retrenched says the same thing! What do you expect me to do? Go crawling back to all those posts I turned down and—and become a dog-walker?

Merlion: Tom, you've brought me a fairly hopeless case. What do you want me to do with him now?

Tom: Well—it might be nice if you made him a better citizen. You know, someone who's more caring about others…someone who stands with his family…someone who helps other people out when he can.

Cat: And don't forget to make him someone who won't refuse opportunities because of his ego!

Merlion: Fine…look at me, human. You said this was a dream. Now I'll help you wake up from it. And when you do, you're going to be a better person. Someone who believes that everyone matters and goes out of his way to help them. Someone who will stand with his family the way they would stand with him, instead of running away because of his own problems. Someone who will make opportunities for others, and who won't turn them down when they come his own way. And—well, I guess I'd better make you love Singapore as well. Just to round it off.

[Coloured flashing lights and smoke. The Merlion starts to sing, a peculiar duotonal sound with a lot of cat yowling mixed in. The volume goes up, then, at its maximum, sound and flashing all stop, leaving the stage totally dark.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Scene five. Fong's bedroom. He is sleeping, then suddenly wakes up.]

Fong: Argh! What a horrible dream! Cats—fishes—the Merlion—and I'd been retrenched! At least it was only a dream—thank God for that!

[In the corner of the bedroom:]

Cat: Miaow!

[End.]

the literature test rocked, although it was rather tedious and i got a slight cramp in my right wrist after that. hmmph. pe was ok. i got reprimanded just because i said that i'd rather play capt ball than soccer. :( mr siva is sometiems really unreasonable. but the lesson was quite fun. kicking the ball around and stuff. yay.

mr yeo was angried during chinese, because sau wee wee told us to change class and we did. i hate sau wee wee. first, she dotes on ernest, and we all have to walk through pulau ubin, and second, she always gets chinese people into trouble. hmmph.

maths was ok, science was ok. all the bis lab people, so far only me, hui yi and vina, got to go to lunch during irs period. i played bball with hui yi. i think vina was somewhere doing her homework. i managed to get a score rate of 80% for free throws. yay. chin... really... sucks... at free throws. :S

bis lab was interesting. we got to watch this movie about the boiler room of stock market, and i got to hear ben affleck say *fuck* every 3 seconds. he's good. we learnt everything basic about stocks and shares. it's real interesting. i found out i got some singtel shares. wonder if i can make some money through that. i'll just leave it to dad.

js n me went home together. i proved to him i was better than him at geog. :D yay. he asked me the capitals of 25 countries, and i got all of them right. :D yay. and asked me local stuff like mrt stations. i also got them correct. yay. oh well. i better start studying for science.

alrighto. school was weird today. nowadays i always forget what we do in literature. :s but i hope i did well in the chinese test. the first part was rather easy, but at mr yeo said, the comprehension would take away a lot of marks. im so dead. :( history, maths and science was a lot of writing, and rather boring.

ok. ae rocked. it rocked so much i can't remember how much it rocked. :S during maths, wen quan was singing a song about clapping your twat. and it did sound nie, except i dint know what twat was. so i jus sang along. then i asked vina what twat was becos wq, js and sb wouldnt tell me. hmmph.

then in the end mrs lee found out, and it was the first time i ever heard a teacher say "oh my god". ok. twat is a bad word. not a good word. i always thought it meant cute or nice. :S i went home in peace and had a crepe. yay. crepes always cheer me up.

so i just played 2 games of aoe2. first with sb. and of course i lost. reasons/ excuses:
- i couldnt find shi bao for the first part of the game when i had 100 soldiers, although i had covered 90% of the map with my soldiers
- he had a cliff surrounding his area (the stupid 10%), and of course i couldnt get in. :(
- when i found him i got stuck on the bleeding cliff :(
- he destroyed me with scorpions :'(
- i sent a secondary wave but they all got killed :'(

morals learnt:

- ALWAYS BUILD SIEGE WEAPONS. i didn't again. i thought sb would be too easy to defeat. :S
- never, NEVER, underestimate your opponent.
- never play a random map with cliffs.

second game: with 3 moderate computers. i lost. i had 1 as my ally. the bleeding computer refused to send his troops to attack when i signalled. so i lost like 15 trebuchets and 60 chu kong nu things. and 30 knights. the bleeding piece of shit. then when i delete everything before the enemy can get me except for 8 villagers, the damn son of a ***** gets attacked and asks me to help him. no way. not what after it has done to me. HAH. who's the man now? :S

morals:
- never have a computer as your ally.
- moderate computers are too easy to defeat. play something like hardest, which still doesnt surpass sb or wq. if you dont win, then you just suck at aoe2.
- if you cant even win a moderate computer, thats saying something.

ok. 1015, gotta study merchant of venice.

ok. i lost to wen quan at aoe2 yesterday. so maybe my expenditionary strategy shit thing isn't working out. and yes. i have decided to build scorpions. i finally succumb to wen quan's advice. haiz. but at least i still do not need siege weapons against chin, nicholas, samuel etc etc. ill try something like intensive farming. :S wen quan, thanks a lot.

ok. singnet was really, really lagging just now. it took 10 minutes for google to load. finally it's done. i might consider taking starhub cable. it's the same price and even better. so today was a real crap day thing. shi bao has a diary, which cost him 3 bucks, instead of a free blog which is like, so much better. :S

it's really full of crap, but it's the best crap i've seen. he uses it to write quotes, and is somewhat like my blog. just lamer. but it's funny. yeah. i hope the teachers don't read it, or they'll be shocked at what sb is really like, instead of the good caring, nice, cute boy he is to the teachers. i hope he doesnt kill me in the army. he said he would. but i'll be in the air force before he does.

assembly: REALLY REALLY BORING. sleep time. zzz... home econs was yummy. we made macaroni. yay. 2L's recipe was so much lousier and blander. hui yi and cai xiang said our's were much better. i think their teacher is too health-conscious. :S i have no idea why i was sleeping on bus 21. :S nearly missed the stop. i stopped at ama's house's bball court's bus stop, and bought ice cream and enjoyed a nice stroll home.

oh yah. dad developed my roll of film. the pictures are quite nice. plan to bring them to school tomorrow.

joanne's bday = valentine's day.

bet zhi wen's gonna sen her flowers. the only nice card i could find at bras basah was one with a heart and to a special girl, but at least it's nice. *hopes* it's not too lovesick.

Saturday, February 07, 2004

yay!!! today was a real weird day. i came to school half an hour early, and used that time to start and finish literature homework. yay! but i still have a chinese test and 2 history assignments, which i am not too keen about.
instead of the manly, strong, handsome, sexy samuel (low), i was romeo. :S
so today was casting auditions. i always thought we were doing ophelia thinks harder, but now my group's doing romeo and juliet. after a while, we finally got the auditions done.
i just hope i can remember all those lines.
anyway, we played bball. i scored one underbasket only. or at least i THINK it's underbasket. me, tristan, yvonne, vanessa and some seniors went to bras basah to shop.
samuel's my rival for juliet (olivia) and aaronia is the prince peacemaker guy.
i was buying this card for joanne's birthday, then me and yvonne lost the others. :S after some fruitful hide and seek, we gave up and went to bugis together. after looking at stars and bones in cages, we bought crepes and went home. yay.
how fun. i had always thought of samuel as zhi wen's rival for joanne. :S
better study and do homework now. cya guys. or actually i'm gonna play aoe2.

15:45



oook. its around 12:50 now, and after a whole day of rushing around, i'm too tired to even think properly. so please bear with my rantings, if not, scram. for your own good.

literature: we sat by the road, wrote a descriptive prose thing on the surroundings. i made mine dark and gloomy. with balck crows screeching, a woman commiting suicide, war-torn shads etc. i really liked the first part, but after the first page i forced myself to write more, thusly, it wasn't too good. but mdm john said the first part was very good, but as most people know, i don't get sarcasm. :S

pe was so funky. i scored none. :( history was a rush, we rushed part of an assignment. a big one. it sucks. it's all crapo stuff. geog and science were normal. my eyes were already closing. geog and science are suddenly so boring. :-|

anyway, during lunch, me sam n max "burned" these four sec 4 dudes. :S i scored only one, but assisted quite a few, which doesnt really matter because there were only 3 of us. today was so not my day for bball. scored 1 out of 10 shots. :(

eds was also a rush. we did exercises and stage combat. shi bao is scary. he pulled out a lot of my hair, which all of you know isnt really much, but at least he could slap and punch well. i think i've better coordination than him, but he certainly knows realism. because he really slapped and punched me. stupid shi bao.

so i went home, changed, checked 3 emails, printed 8 pages of stuff, all in half an hour. RUSH!!! my dad RUSHED me to centrepoint. and i ran all the way to burger king, which was not at centrepoint. :( finally i could sit down and rest. had some mushroom burger. i love mushroom burgers. so creamy, soft, sweet etc.

YOUniverse was really, really good. i nearly cried at the last part. but i dont cry often nowadays. but the happy beginnings really contrasted what happened in the end- suicide. :( sad sad story. but real good. so all the others went back, me, reuben and xue kai stayed back to give the roses to shauna and elena. how fun. xue kai was really heartbroken, but i wont say why.

ah well... a sad story, a sad ending. such a want-wit sadness. and yes, it is now exactly 1 am, time for sleep.

3.amanda
5.shi bao
7.joanne
8.mandy
9.heal
10.anyone of us
11.emotions

5. The person you name in number 5 is the one who knows you very well.

7. The song in 8 is the song that matches with the person in number 3.

8. The title in 9 is the song for the person in 7.

9. The tenth space is the song that tells you most about YOUR mind.

10. and 11 is the song telling you how you feel about life

all the answers are on broken lifeline, but i bet no one can find it. :D this blog is the main one. ok. i won't close it down. but it's sorta like those free membership stuff. you only get the minimal stuff, in my case, no secrets, full quiz answers etc etc.

yay!!! GOOD DAY!!! WAAC! english, chinese, geog and science were normal. i actually passed for the maths test thing. i think like half the class failed or something. phew. 5/10. we get 10 minutes for 5 questions. 2L gets 20 minutes for 3 questions. it ain't fair. i wish ice cream dude would give us some chance.

speaking of ice cream dude, he's teaching us aoe2. at first all the other guys said i sucked, i just absorbed it all in, and waited for the game to start. the comps were rather screwed. some admin guy finally fixed them at 3pm. yay. i played in the first game, a test game. against chin and nicholas. 1 vs 2. and i actually annihilated them. then they all said i was good and stuff. and nicholas finally admitted defeat. :D

i played in a second game. ok. i deleted my town center because i thought we were restarting the game. so it was me and kevin vs joa ee hao jun and reuben. or something like that. but it was 2 vs 3. and we won. kevin got highest score, yay. ok. i will not have ego. that's bad. so after debrief which was just telling our strategies, i finally reached home at 7.

i am starting to like aoe2.

today = bad day. :( pe was fun. finally. we got to play 3 matchs. fun! maths was crapo. i hate maths now. all talk, no work. i think mr ng, or ice cream dude as vina calls him, just gives excuses that we must learn from our frens because he's lazy. all he does is give stupid homework, and expects us to do it all by ourselves. hmmph.

ranting done, i'm now doing bislab in luuuue of irs with hui yi and vina. hope this projects goes well. and i withdrew my application for the uk trip. i decided this because of 3 factors:

1) only 4 or a few more people i know are going
2) the $2k can be used to buy a super computer, by my standards, and more comp games to go with.
3) my parents are already bringing me to the uk.

i'm also gonna take a bus trip with my frens, so whats the diff, and m'sia has so much better lakes. so there. i'm not going anymore. you guys (and girls) enjoy yourselves. haha. hope you all have fun. it's summer there anyway. i'd rather go in winter. :D

anyway, i have a new secret blog thing. yay. i will write all my real feelings there, and this will be the lame accounts of my life. :S and if you guys hate me, just tell me straight in my face, stop hiding stuff from me.

aoe strategies:

i have found four types of basic strategies for aoe2, as a start to mso, in which i won 4 out of 5 games:

- aggresive: the one which really sucks aka how i lost to wen quan. attack with everything you got (3 workers, 1 scout) at the start of the game. which is really stupid as you'll lose all of your units once the enemy garrisons in the town center. another style of aggresive is to send constant waves of a few units to attack the enemy's base. this works very well aka how i won one game.

- defensive: build up forces, then set a bait for enemy, and attack once they reach your base. this way, you can wear down the forces of the enemy and slowly gain control over the enemy's base. this worked for wen quan in my only game with him.

- economic: gather a lot of resources, only building workers and a few units to defend the town. then build a gigantic force and charge for the enemy base, while gathering resources and building more units for a second wave to destroy the enemy's base.

- expenditory: set up a secondary base near the enemy to distract them. build forces on main base and attack the enemy. if the enemy is smart enough, it will concentrate attacks on only one base, as the division of forces will surely lose it's hold. thus the enemy will be weak at one point, and from there you can wear off it's base. this tactic is the most effective for me. won 2 games with it.

20:43



i have found two new phrases to use:
- dr seuss' worst nightmare: evil eerie places full of un-nice stuff
- mr kiw's worst nightmare: evil students full of un-nice stuff

yay!!! today=fun day!!! did weird merchant of venice mindmap on love vs money. i think love is more important...isn't it? :S yeah. so anyway. er. chinese. i hate zuo ye. has given up doing it for the past 3 weeks. i'll just wait till it's time to do it. but kinda easy sometimes. except comprehension. argh. i hate compre. it's just horrid. my nightmare. i'm just not good at outer-syllabus stuff. :(

history quiz: i could have gotten like at least L3 or L4 if i was allowed to write the last sentence: "thus i agree with the statement to a large extent" ARGH!!! bad mrs lee. hmmph. i still wanna be -ego-"good"-ego- at history. it's the only thing ive got. besides maths and science. and geog. ew. geog. oh well.

anyway. maths was crap. i think mr ng just confused me further. i think i finally know the rules of indices. but i forgot what significant figures are. so i read up on it again. haiz. wasted 30 mins reading that crap when i had gotten it right all along. :( oookk.. i think my group's logo for ge is nice. its a cute lil dragon with a ball saying "GE". i really like it. hopes it gets selected. but i dont think it will. :S

so i went to PARKway with nicole, yuhui, darren, audrey and js. i took yoshinoya with js and i also got a stupid eclair. :S the eclair totally loses out to the ones from han's. the cream is blander and not so creamy, the puff is not that puffy, and the choco doesnt melt, even in your mouth. :( wasted 1.50 we looked at hallmark stuff, got bored, and went to mp library. yay! i love libraries.

so we did homework. and i borrowed a book about england to prepare for teh uk trip if i'm going. i'm so excited. i love sitting in aeroplanes, and with my frens makes it even better!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!

i played galactic battlegrounds and aoe2. won 3 "hard" games altogther. which was actually bloody easy. :S i'll try hardest now.

oook. it's like 12:35 am... i just finished a poem. i think it's real weird, but i think it's for you, the reader to decide. please comment!

.:blissen:.

i saw hell and heaven
death, life and fear

dark bliss, black joy
it was a flaming heaven

angels, demons succumbed
the world crimsom-covered

aura of reddish proportions
fear swayed hearts of men

minds sapped of thought
angsty bodies roared

the strength of violence
dark streaks of war

bodies strewn across
devoid of green blood

ripped apart by terror
ruptured by implosions

then a death-filled silence
a lull of what innocence

i was the last remnant
the oppugnants circled me

crushed by diablos and imps
my spirit was drained

i succumbed to death
brought to a final bliss

and i was happy.
