The day began with my driving test and the eventful cab ride there, followed by gym and meeting a friend for lunch whereby we talked alll the way till 5++.

A short nap ensued. Jazz night and several events transpired to make the day overall BAD, hopefully some reading and DotA can alleviate that...

Relishing a good family dinner to... A Lack of Color - Death Cab

Man In the Mirror

In a bid to get me to fully migrate downstairs, my father has vociferously ordered the swakoo-beng contractor, Mr Pow Sing (not of chicken rice fame), to renovate my toilet.

I have no idea how to describe furniture and construction textures, so let's just say its grainy and woody and NICE! I have my own square-shaped toilet bowl! Perfect for my square butt..

There's also an open air window grill thing RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the shower, which must be for some exhibitionist/narcissistic pleasure. Thankfully, there's a flimsy waterproof film that can be pulled down for (whatever small degree of) privacy..

Talking about narcissism, privacy is what one will definitely not get. Especially with 3, yes 3, life-sized mirrors practically plating the entire toilet!


Mirror 3 complete with Troll.
I took those pics after my bath, considering how extremely amused i was at watching myself SHIVER MY ASS OFF while bathing. Mirror 3 happens to be right IN the shower, with 2 behind the toilet bown and 1 being the kitchen sink mirror.

Also, for all the construction and renovation being done (a whopping 2 years, almost), can you please install some hot water??!!

Mad About You(Tube)

What's more addictive than a short satirical snippet lampooning the pop culture of today?

LOTS of short satirical snippets lampooning the pop culture of today!!

And, they're all available on YouTube.com!! In collaboration with MadTV, from the same name as that magazine i've been reading since pri 4 (Come see my collection one day siah..), they have a whole range of clips that are refreshed weekly and are T3H BOMB!

This website will now be credited in my Oscar/Nobel Prize acceptance speech for so dramatically influencing my life..

Here are a few gems that MUST NOT BE MISSED:

Shakira's "Whenever, Whatever"
Desperate Housewives!
Terminator Year 0000
Beyonce Ownz Destiny's Child.. Literally (Emotions)
Me Against Madonna
Justin Timberlake's "Like I Am You"

Philosophical Periodical #1

This begins a new anthology of random philosophical questions i bombard my friends (if they consider themselves fortunate to be called) with! Take a moment to think about the question, answer and ponder why you answered as such. It should grant you new insights to your dreary-if-you-read-this-blog life!

---

For restaurant choices, would go follow the dining recommendations of a thin person or a fat person?

If you were a doctor, would you be plagued more by the deaths you caused, or salvaged by the lives you saved?

"Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you,
Or are you going back to the one you love?"

How do you know that someone is truly your friend? Are memories and gifts all that remind you of your 'bond'? Are we merely self-sustaining creatures that need company?

Discomfort in popularity, or discomfort in obscurity?

Chapter 5: The YoungCroc Awards

The YoungCroc Awards commemorates the progress of many an adolescent buaya, much like the PAP's Good Progress Award! It doesnt matter how bloodily crappy and insignificantly failureish you once were, just as long as there is improvement, you WILL pointlessly receive money!

For the YoungCroc Awards however, you only get a gross picture for your MSN display pic.


It doesnt matter that anyone can copy this off the website.
ANYWAY, the official speech that is supposed to be read out by Dr Balakrishnan (as always), is "These hatchlings evolved into mightier, stronger and more female-friendly crocodiles. These are people deserving of recognition in their fields of erm.. Patriotic Biochemistry. After charting their progress through the year,

Our list of 2006 winners are:"


Lin Congren, for rekindling an old flame and keeping it alight amidst the coldness. Khoo'd job!

Eric Toh, for 2 words: Rachel Heng.

Hong Rilong, for 247249 words, which is far too many to be placed in a single blog entry.

Gan Haoyi, but not for his successful poaching of Sherry. He is graciously unloaded bequeathed the Flirtatious Student Award, for calming down such teachers as Alfie/Capy/Fishy.

Nicholas Ong, for well, for being the as-unbuayaish-as-possible Nicholas Ong.

Ng Cheng Wei, for being a disgusting, bumbling fool, yet being much better than his initial 'grossgusting, socially retarded phreak'.

Johan Wong, for attracting random girls in ACJC! WOAH.

Serene Ser, for being so manly she may as well be buaya.

YES! Exhaustive as it may be, these people are eligible for the CROCPIC courteous of artist Dwayne Wang, who is already a fully-fledged amphibian as it is.. (MuggerToad lah!)

Back to the Buay-sics.

Sometimes

Sometimes I wonder why i'm such a pushover..
Sometimes I wonder why i'm so sacrificial..
Sometimes I wonder why i'm so scared to excel..
Sometimes I wonder why i put myself down..

Sometimes I wonder who are really my friends..
Sometimes I wonder whether i'm really theirs..
Sometimes I wonder who I love..
Sometimes I wonder whether its returned..

Sometimes I wonder what i'm doing in life..
Sometimes I wonder what i'm doing for others..
Sometimes I wonder what i'm doing for myself..
Sometimes I wonder what i'm doing..

Sometimes I wonder when i'll get down to business..
Sometimes I wonder when i'll learn to live..
Sometimes I wonder when i'll be emotionally ready..
Sometimes I wonder when you will be..

Sometimes I wonder how i'll be 10 years from now..
Sometimes I wonder how i'll be like without self-imposed boundaries..
Sometimes I wonder how it'll be like to have no regrets..
Sometimes I wonder how it'll be like in a new family..

Sometimes..

Potential Interest

What's YOUR criteria in finding a suitable BF/GF/spouse?

Using the simple tools of science, the great Professor Wang is able to illustrate exactly what you look for in the opposite (hopefully) sex!

We begin with the different fields of Looks, Mannerisms, Personality, Intelligence, Religion and Spark. These all affect the Potential Interest you have in somebody as a mate.

Looks are self-explanatory. Take supermodel Giselle Bundchen and Lydia Sum from the channel 5 smash 'Living With Lydia'. Who would bring more lustful happiness to your life? Who would be much more visually tolerable and thereby more 'activating'? WHY OF COURSE its LYDIA SUM!! She embodies beauty in all senses of the typical Singaporean, and is definitely more pleasing to the eye with her gaping jaw and ahlian eyes. (To have avoided feeling weird and disgusted, you should have just stopped reading after 'Looks are self-explanatory')

Mannerisms are much harder to define. This broad spectra includes hygiene, idiosyncracies and pet peeves that may or may not be good. There's nose-digging, stalking, stuttering, stalking, biting your fingernails and DID I MENTION STALKING? There are cute ones too, such as wincing and giggling and looking plain good. Oh wait..

Personality may be about character traits such as magnanimity and gregariousness, but we know it's really about how many presents and kisses she/he showers upon you.

Intelligence is once again, self-explanatory, but only if you possess enough Intelligence.

Religion is trickier. The level you desire would depend on your own religion (or lack thereof, you sinners!). Based on this, you may want your spouse to be equally salvaged as you, or equally headed for the Great Fiery Hole in the Earth. JOKING!

Finally, there is the Spark or connectivity. How well do you click with the person? Can you maintain a conversation that doesn't depend on monosyllabic responses (unless its the fabulous sex of course)? All in all Spark is the hardest to attain.

In order for a anyone to even ponder the potential for a relationship, these 6 attributes must meet the minimum criteria in the person of interest:


Graph of Potential Interest against Relationship Coordinate
A deficiency in any one of these criteria would result in an inability to reach activation energy, and there is no further hope. If you're already in a relationship when you discover this lacking.. Well good luck.

Take Spark for instance. If somebody scores fullmarks on everything else but there is no Spark between you, he/she will forever remain nothing more than a crush/eye candy!

However, once met, the Potential Iinterest will peak and it'll all be downhill from then :) (downhill meaning easy and fulfilling, not a downward spiral into oblivion.. I think)

So, what is YOUR relationship criteria? I think i know mine.

Note: Thanks to Pam for inspiration in this entry!

Sacrificing DotA for ChemCarboxTut to... Shorty (Put It On the Floor) - Chingy ft Busta Rhymes

Scripts Don't Lie

Here's an ode to all who feel cheated by the Common Test results, and more recently, the Project Work fiasco. I'm sure everyone's familiar with begging for marks during paper reviews only to be brutally shot down and rejected? It's one of those relyricisations once again, and please go and download Shakira's HIPS DONT LIE for better listening pleasure.

Scripts Don't Lie
(Sung to the tune of Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie")

Students up in here sit tight
No righting, no fighting
We got no marks because we're not clear
No righting, no fighting

Unfair-a, unfair-a

[Pre-chorus]
I never really knew that I would flunk like this
It makes a man wants to just vanish
Oh my alamak, no theta, me need a, you need a
One extra, one extra

[Chorus]
Oh teach when you reject me flat
You make a student go mad
So be wise and mug on
Reaping the whines of the CTs

Oh Please don't gripe
You know the scripts don't lie
And I'm starting to feel the fright
Our imperfection, retention
Don't you see maybe, it's time for corrections


Hey Girl, I can see your pencil moving
Making your answer hazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you drawing

And when you approach the teacher for
Nobody cannot ignore the way you claim for that B, girl
Don't go and look on so dejected - the way you write and left it
So you can keep on claiming it

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

Don't you see my score is perfecto

Oh I won't deny the scripts don't lie
And I'm starting to see the light
To reach perfection, need tuition
Don't you see maybe, it's time for reflections
One extra, one extra

Oh boy, I can see your grades improving
With high morale, began
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am mugging what I can, but I can't do maths though
That's a bit too hard for my brain

If you didn't study then don't say
If you didn't study then die lah

If you didn't study then don't claim
If you didn't study then die lah

[Pre-chorus]

Oh teach when you refuse my mark
You know how i'm de-energised
So be kind and please stop
Leaving comments on my GP

[Chorus]

No righting
No fighting

Getting ass-spanked by retards to... Hips Don't Lie - Shakira

Sheng Yang

Behold the awesome and irresistible epitome of cuteness: SHENGYANG


Gearing up to be a photowhore
He's my charge at the Gracehaven Salvation Army, whereby Jessica and I do a Community Involvement Project. Every Tuesday at 7:00pm sharp, we shuffle down there and begin one and a half hours of tutoring and befriending.

Sheng Yang is in Primary 4 this year. He's had some domestic trouble and was sent there. Besides being a little slow in academics (come on, who wasn't?), he dreams of being a scientist and inventing a robot. He's the size of a small puppy, and has the personality to match it. Rarely does his face contort into anything else but a big wide grin, and rarely does he fail to do the same for me.

Ting Xie, maths and journal writing aside, we spend the time talking about movies, life and his ambitions. Even inane games such as Guess Who are made fun with his bubbly presence. He's obviously more mature than anyone else his age there, for the other younglings regularly engage in fights and childish brawls. Sometimes, i wonder what he did to deserve a place there.

Then, it hit me. Sheng Yang was placed in Gracehaven for the same reason as I: To make a positive difference in peoples' lives. I know it's affected at least one person.

Although the entire prospect of Tuesdays ending at 9:00pm thoroughly disgusts and saps away my energy, Sheng Yang somehow manages to restore it. He's so innocent and carefree, purposefully ignorant of his emotionally decrepit and destitute surroundings. Everybody should look up to him and emulate his optimism.

-7 to -3 points Does the term 'geektards' ring a bell? Or does it merely trigger off several highs and lows in the OR and NOT gates that cause a momentary auditory sensation?

-3 to 3 points Dead Average. So dead average you may as well be dead. Haha no lah.. Just continue living in your humjee ways and watch as the swaths of girls bypass you ;)

Like that helped anyone O.o

All watch Desperate Housewives NOW! SHIT its the one show that defies network programming physics and gets progressively better..

Edit: Common sense would have told you not to take the DotA question to heart, for this quiz was made by a DotAfanatic. By right, an affirmative response in DotA would improve your social quotient 5-fold depending on your base score



Dreading the 9pm-ending Tuesdays to... Control Myself - LL Cool J ft J Lo

Saturday Night Stonage

Sometimes arh, i wonder how the hell in the world i actually used to blog so well.. I think DotA is slowly but surely draining away my blainpowrr, explaining my B for Chem and my C for Physics! WARGH my 2 pet subjects somemore..

Ok time to suicide, squad and destroy.

Don't worry, once my plan to tone down my DotA is accomplished, i'll have LOTS more time to blog constructively and creatively.

Am currently CHEONGING work, after that nasty wake-up call the CommonTests did (imagine getting a bucket of ice water splashed on you while in the middle of a particularly nice wet dream). Ya, that. But 50 times worse.

And so begins the solitary confinement...

Anyway, i proved in some earlier entry that the entertainment value of a blog is inversely proportional to the life one has outside. So yeh, be prepared for some REALLY entertaining stuff.

Edit: I got a B for physics in the end.. and got 2As in maths and bio and topped class for GP O.o. Looks like the toning down can wait a bit
