Sigh.....juz realised that most of the subjects they moderating i wont be using fer my l1r5, means dat im still stuck at the dismal score of 20. That leaves me with cjc as the onli choice...while the rest after moderation will get like 10-15pts and go aj. Well, no point moaning over dat now....at least i still get to go to a jc.

Juz celebrated my birthday yesterday....would have been more enjoyable if not fer the stoopid HCL test after sch. That totally spoilt my mood. Not that the test was difficult, but im juz put off by chinese tests. Went to play lan after the test....realised that im still the best at cs afterall :D oso getting not bad at wc3 liao.....mebbe i can try to take part in nxt yr cybergames.

President George Bush is visiting an elementary school, and he visits one of the classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their
meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class
in the discussion of the word, "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives nextdoor, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over,that would be a tragedy." "No," says Bush, "that would be an ACCIDENT." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains Mr. President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, way in the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. Bush, were struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, by a terrorist like Osama bin Laden, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic," exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a TRAGEDY?" "Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly wouldn't be a great loss."

Finally feel like updating my blog after a catastrophic week for me. My prelim results realli suck to da core man. Even if i manage to scrap to a jc for e first 3 mths, it will probably be a lousy one, so i might as well not go. But then i probably got no hope for jc liao, unless my humanities miraculously pass. Dun wanna keep moaning abt my prelim results...here's a thinking theory fer u guys....

For years on end everyone has always said that humans are all the same species, but are we? I'm not trying to start up anything racist, so just keep reading. Different races, have different background cultures, beliefs and ways of doing things. We also have other things different as well. Our skin textures and colors are different, and so are the physical bone structures. It's very clear to notice on the outside with most different races of people. So, did we all just evolve differently from the same thing? Or were we originally different species that have intermingled in with one another?

Here is something that may interest you.........

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened,
making the bed firmer to sleep on. That's where the phrase, "goodnight, sleep tight " came from!!

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law,
which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for
a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his
son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey
beer, and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month" or what we know today as the "honeymoon."

In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had
consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When
anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King & the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex.

The placard had F.U.C.K.
(Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it.
Now you know where that came from.

Interesting web site recording details about this internet forum user who call himself John Titor and claiming he's from the year 2036.

It may sound totally unbelievable.. but check out what he has to say about the future and his replies to people in the forum about our current way of life and how it's going to lead to the events in the time he claimed he's from. Intriguing~

Went to poon's house to play risk today. Was quite fun in the beginning, but beginning to get boring at the end. Shaun lim came up with dis idea of protecting poon, who was in danger of extermination by desmondoh. In the end, everyone was like exchanging cards to get a sudden influx of troops, would take forever for the game to end. Decided to stop playing then and proceeded to play bridge instead. My luck wasnt too bad today, managed to win quite a few times.
Something damn suay happen on my way home. Was walking down from poon's flat when suddenly at the 4th storey got dis freaking cat chiong out at me. Scared the hell outta me man, was thinkin wtf was dat. Nearly fell down in my effort to siam the cat. lol. Why do cats like to streak out from corners suddenly ??? I dun see dogs doing that at all, mebbe i smell threatening to the cat or something haha. Should get someone to catch the cat man, never noe when its gonna frighten an old lady or something....
Realised that neopoints can realli sell fer alot of money, so if any of u got any defunct account with lotsa neopoints in it, dun mind giving it to me yea...

Yawn |-) .... todae is like the most boring day of my life. I hate Sundays man, no one to go out with. Budden i oso feeling quite lazy todae....dun have the strength to step out of the door. Slept the whole afternoon....
Yay!! Monday and Tuesday got no school. Finally dun have to wake up at some obscene timing juz to reach sch on time. Can catch up on the sleep iv been missing since sch started. Thinking of how to spend these 2 days....after prelim in holiday mood liao, dun feel like studying for O's. Mebbe my crappy prelim results will wake me up. Tml is a weekday, so the blardy lan shops probably wont allow me to play since im not 16.....arghhhh why wasnt i born a few weeks earlier??? Most probably going to someone's house to play risk or bridge. We shall see.....
Seem's like ruud van nistelrooy has a recent habit of proving people wrong. Juz when he was receving all the adulation abt being the best striker in europe, he goes and miss all the penalties he takes. Then when people slam him, he comes back to score a hat-trick. Leicester's defence quite crap lar but still.....Sighh how i wish newcastle will juz get a damn win already. Beginning to lose faith in the club liao....What happened to last yr's impeccable record at fortress st jame's ???

finally got the damn tag board up and i managed to change the picture to ayumi's pic. yay!!! dunno whether to go play lan or go for the percussion camp briefing. If i don't go for the briefing, means i don't get to meet my grp members and miss out all the admin stuff. Plus i dun exactly have a valid reason for not going. (playin lan valid???). Scared i get kicked out of the camp.
Been playing lan like almost every day. Each time cost like $8. If this continues, gonna go bankrupt soon. Haiz, think i go play lan. Rony and Daniel oso not going for the percussion camp briefing, if get punished or anything, at least we will get punished together.
Whew. Just got back from playin lan. Spent a grand total of $13.70. Must have played like 5+ hrs. Today considered quite on-form liao. Was top fragger for most of the maps i played. Would have enjoyed the day better if desmondoh did not kpkb so much. He think he damn pro liddat ah, people frag him muz be tyco then can. In the end, I keep on changing team juz to frag him. He must be feeling pretty irritated heh. Turned out dat my instructor for the camp actually called rony and asked why we both never go for the briefing. We must have been the only 2 not there man. The camp going to take a big chunk out of my dec hols man, with practices scattered about and the actual camp itself is like 5 days. Dat means no lan or soccer for 5 days :( . I dun even get to go home for 5 days....
