After 2 days of trying to publish, I finally could publish the two previous posts!
And at the same time, West Ham's winning Blackburn 1-0.
I think it's true. You can't lose all the time.

Confession
Sometimes confessions come least when you expect it.
YL dropped a bombshell on me tonight. I NEVER KNEW BEFOREHAND LA TMD. There were no signs, no warnings but all of a sudden he just got attached.
Leaves me to head the NGO by myself. Oh well.
If you can't read the text..
u_klun..i'll go to the end of the world for you. but luckily for me, the earth is round. says:

I'm censoring YL's email because you all are so not going to be third parties even though YL might be hot and sexy. (That's what he will say to you.)

Self-confidence
Among all those silly failures that I've listed, I'm afraid I left out one very important one.
FAILURE TO GET TOP 20 IN CHEM FOR PROMOS. (zomg!)
How could I forget that. Maybe I'm just living in my own world of denial.
Anyway, today's post is about feeling good. Assuming that life is tough and everyone wants to feel good, it is important to know how to feel good. Of course, you can't feel good when the circumstances are against you, but feelings are pretty much controlled by yourself, and therefore you have the power to feel good.
Or should I say, YOUR feelings are pretty much controlled by yourself. Everything is relative and everything should be put into perspective.
Let's take a very basic example - playing basketball. You have no idea how many times I've been shooting and missing by a few miles, usually because I think I'm shooting birds and blast the ball right over the board. Well, Michael Jordan missed his 9000 shots, and I haven't missed that many so far.
Though I haven't been playing a lot.. but never mind that.
The trick is to letting yourself believe that you are skilled in other areas.
If you play basketball and keep airballing (ie it doesn't touch the board because you're a weakling), you don't have to think you suck at basketball. Even if your coach says so, think that you are made for HANDBALL. Yup, in handball it is essential not to shoot over the goalmouth. Therefore that is the sport for you if you can't shoot high enough.
After all, it's quite true that sometimes the basket is too high. It's difficult to slam dunk and that takes away the fun of basketball.
If your aiming is just way off and even though you can reach the required height for basketball, it means that probably VOLLEYBALL is your game. Every cloud has a silver lining, and thus every failure must mean you have talent in someplace else. Shooting left and right will ensure that the opponent gets pwned. That's how volleyball works, and voila, you've made yourself useful again.
If you keep shooting too hard against the board (they call it 篮板球) and it just reflects right back to you, there is this game called WATERPOLO where hard shots are for the win. The only thing is that you have to know how to swim. If you don't, try doing ARCHERY. You could shoot birds up in trees.
If you keep shooting a little over the top of the basketball board, then perhaps you should consider playing NETBALL. You just need to be a little tyco, and the ball will automatically go in. Try a few high angle shots, and if they fail you in Netball, perhaps you are just made for Beach Volleyball, where I believe the net is slightly higher and you'd be ultimate ownage at that.
And if you think you're totally shit at basketball such that you blast the ball way over the top, or you can't seem to get the ball off the ground..
..you're not at your wits' end yet.
There's always BOWLING, a traditional favourite among those who likes aircon and who hates altitude. You don't swing bowling balls all over the place do you? And for those who keeps shooting WAY OVER THE TOP..
..uh, we refer you back to this module in RI Physical Education. Something we all did in our Sec 4 year. Territorial/invasion and the other games. I only remember one sort of game because I just don't really remember the rest (like duh).
Anyway, the thing is, if you fail at all the sports available, the module that I was talking about is.. INVENTING GAMES!! Many years have gone by and new things keep popping up all over the place. The idea is: if you can't find a sport you're good at, you MAKE a sport you're good at.
Many losers are bloody good at this. Notice when a country hosts the SEA Games or the Olympics, they get to choose what games they want to play? They simply take away the events they simply have no hope at, and then introduce some obscure crap that they trained for damn long and suddenly get free golds.
Of course, others might say it's cheap. But a gold is a gold.
Let's take for example HOOP TAKRAW, going to be played in the next SEA Games. It's quite obviously a cheap copy of sepak takraw, and adjusted a little to make it advantageous for those who keep pumping the ball way up high but without any power. While they get whooped in sepak takraw, they can seek solace that they are masters in getting balls in hoops.
Balls to them actually, that's no big deal. Still, they'd be wHOOPing at the end of the day when they get their medals because the world is about being good, no matter how you get there.
Don't let them get you down, Inventing Games are good. That's why it's graded for your final PE grade.
In other words, there's no reason not to have self-confidence. The world is made for you to succeed in, and already in sports you are guaranteed sure success.
Perhaps, if you are too lazy to move your arse on the basketball court or on any sort of playing field, you could invent this sport called STONING.
The possibilities are endless.
But I think I might win the stoning contest.
Still, in the meantime, do have self-confidence. It's good for your ego and it's good for feeling good. You get positive externalities when you feel good so uh, yup just feel good.

Failures
Okay it's the last day of JC1 (gasp!), and upon reflection, I shall post here my 5 biggest failures of the year.
1) Failure to sleep early. See, I'm still posting now, which proves a point. My Thursday posts are actually Wednesday posts, and my Wednesday posts are actually Tuesday posts. Such is the sad state of my uh, sleeping habits.
2) Failure to get school cancelled. Despite having Plan PSI 300, and despite getting all my friends to burn their notes, I am very disappointed to say that it failed. And therefore I burnt all my notes FOR NOTHING ARGH. Well I also formulated another plan to play a prank by sticking up a note at the side gate saying school is cancelled. Then pretend to be a victim and go home.
Sadly, I could not wake up early enough to paste the sheet of paper. Refer to Failure No. 1. By that I don't mean refer to me (some people might debate that I'm Failure No. 1 too), but the first failure that I've listed here. I've not enough guts anyway.
3) Failure to find more NBA members. I think I must have been too ambitious, trying to find NBA members in RJC but instead of expanding the NBA circle, I'm just inside being a loser while watching the world go buaya. I shall not comment any further, but I rate this as one of the failures that shouldn't have been there. I know there are MUGGERS around. I KNOW IT!
4) Failure to make Stall 2 auntie lose business. For her BAD WORK ATTITUDE and the POOR QUALITY OF LEMON TEA, I decided to launch a campaign against Stall 2, declaring war. The first idea was to do mass boycott, starting from my class. Almost my whole class still patronised the stall, the only guy not doing so being me. After half a day I realised I couldn't take it anymore and went to buy wedges from them. That was bad discipline, I admit.
Still, there can be no denial their lemon tea does taste like soapwater. And the auntie flirts with certain students, according to reliable but unnamed sources. Worse still, after flirting she doesn't give discount. Therefore I say don't bother. And therefore I say boycott Stall 2. Though we all know they are a bloody monopoly and by tomorrow, guaranteed everyone's going to be buying stuff from them unless they are Muslims fasting. Even so, Hari Raya Puasa is over and I think they'll get their business.
From everyone including me argh.
5) Failure to be the most failure. Although I have my off days, I guess I still can't qualify as "top failure" in RJC because there are others who have proved themselves more jacked than me. This is debatable as there are different ways to define "failure", but I passed my Chemistry and Chemistry is life so no, I can't be that bad a failure.
Unfortunately, life is about extremes and if you fail to get a title for yourself, you fail. I fail to be top failure and therefore I fail.
All right I'm seriously failing to understand what I'm writing. But school closes anyway, and TCS wishes everyone happy holidays. Do make good use of them by flying kites or playing soccer, we all know that these activities are good for you.
Me, I'll try to work on these failures so that they won't fail next year. Watch out Stall 2 hurhur.

Deathnote
Shit, YL's gay new idea for the template has resulted in my inability to post accents.
éÖüÛÓÈì“õíâ
There. Does it appear to you as a lump of rubbish? That's what accents are anyway, a lump of rubbish and a waste of time typing it out, I'd much prefer writing any day.
Anyway there has been recent excitement about deathnotes and how everyone wishes they exist in real life because they want one. I say stop dreaming and move on, we all know that's not possible so stop speculating on who you are going to kill if you get that deathnote. If you hate that person that much just go kill him/her straight, no questions asked. Technology advances, but deathnotes are simply not reachable at this point in time.
Still, imagination is good and you might get satisfaction of dreaming.
If I get a deathnote, who would I kill first?
I'm not that selfish. I won't be killing anyone in school. I say Didier Drogba be first to go because he's got a snazzy attitude and frankly his scoring record is getting to be a pain in the arse. Then of course it's goodbye to Edwin van der Sar because we all know Man Utd would be bottom of the Premiership if not for his antics. Stupid leaky defence should just leak some more, so Rio Ferdinand is number three.
Hell, why don't I just write down the whole Man Utd team? Hoho it sure will be funny when the Manchester Evening Standard or some of their local papers publish "Man Utd players all die at one go". Or what about the BBC commentator giving match commentary says, "My heart stopped when I saw the players drop dead one by one on the field."
Then I'll just write his name in deathnote. WOW!!
That will teach them to use metaphors. Or tell lies.
In the context of school, I'm not sure who I'd like to kill off. Probably anyone and everyone getting higher than me for Chemistry. I don't like getting rid of unnecessary lives because if I killed my whole batch I'd be a very lonely and sad person. But then again, by killing anyone who got higher than me, that would be like THE WHOLE BATCH.
Argh, dilemma dilemma.
I might bring home a 100.0 percentile but I won't need to go for anymore outings.
Still, think about it. If deathnotes existed as normal pieces of paper, how bloody crazy would that be. During an exam, you write your name on the script and 40 seconds later you die. It's like wth.
Or better yet, the whiteboard is a deathnote (or a deathboard). The teacher writes down all the people down for remedial. THEN THAT MEANS I DIE AGAIN. LIKE WTH.
Deathnotes sound really dangerous, and now come to think of it I'm glad they don't exist.
And the stupid movie has given a whole new dimension to deathnotes. Because in true fact, deathnotes are notes that people write when they're about to die or commit suicide. Not some stupid book where you kill. If it's a murder weapon, call it a murder weapon. Don't "deathnote" here, "deathnote" there. It's a bloody murder weapon and that's that.
On the other hand, you could think of notes as mugging notes. Deathnotes would be notes about death. Biology students can start groaning as they mug a new set of notes. I think this word is seriously revolutionary, makes one think so much about it. It's probably the most important thing that has occurred to me, and I suddenly feel so inspired.
But hell, I'm tired too.
Enough about deathnotes, I'm going to sleep.

RAGE
ZOMG latest development in the plot:
People want to camp outside RJC to slap/kill/whatever the elitist!! Come Wednesday, I'd expect crowds of people at RJC school gates. Only I have one humble request - can you please camp after 7:50am because before that I'll be on a mad rush to make it just in time and having loads of people at the gates will make me have to dodge my way in and slow down my quest for punctuality!
I don't want a white slip thanks.

What happens when you're too smart
Article Review.. to show what happens when you're too smart.
Now I'm not going to put the certain RJC girl's article here, for such elitist filthy shit is not worthy to be published on a blog meant for utter nonsense. If you need a reference of any sort, go to this link kindly provided by YL, I don't know why he can't find a better link without any adverts.
http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/mb/display.asp?webtag=sammyboymod&msg=121090.1
Then as a student of RJC (shit now more people's gonna call it Raffles Junk Centre thanks to CERTAIN PEOPLE TSK), I am able to provide you with additional information! Yay! Like how the girl is actually a councillor with LOWEST CIP HOURS IN WHOLE COUNCIL! (bet you didn't know that haha)
And according to various sources, she's from Humanities class.
I feel that there are learning points to be taken away from this.
1) If you have elitist views, go write it on the walls on your house and stop blogging about it. Someone supposedly "smart" would have understood sedition and power of the masses. But did she? NO LOL. She chose to blog it and let the world rage at her. Needless to say, Lesson Number One says if you have elitist shit to say don't blog it.
2) Don't be an elitist. I suppose that's like duh. Because you can't be up there all the time. What happened after I got 97.7 percentile for Econs CT? I had the dubious honour of falling more than 30% into the abyss of an S grade for promos. As a result, I'm down for ****ing Econs remedial and that's because I was elite before. Just as Elite Four in Pokémon were beaten, you can't be up there all the time. Better to be a loser who wins at times. (Like me, though I don't win at all.)
3) Take Chemistry!! The subject is definitely going to bring you so down to earth man. Makes you think you're a dimwit, makes you feel like a useless piece of crap rotting in one corner. Now, has the girl ever been to Chemistry remedial? I doubt it. If she had she wouldn't be talking like that. She doesn't understand the concept of chiral centres, that being in the centre of attention will only cause you to have stereoisomers.
Stereoisomers, or different spatial arrangements of atoms with similar chemical formula (I think), denotes variety. Variety means confusion. Therefore having these isomers will cause your life to be in a mess. Life in a mess means your life is screwed. Which is what she is now. Perhaps she should have really considered taking Chemistry.
Long story cut short, I think she should stop bragging just because her papa's an MP or just because she's having fun taking Humanities. For one, taking Arts/Humans subjects grants you automatic promotion so it's no big deal that she's 18 and in J2. Next year I will be 18 and I will be in J2. So what is there to boast about?!
Dire consequences will follow suit. Reading her blog (now defunct), there is only one post just inviting comments. I last checked it two days ago and it has 112 comments. Now it has 279. Wow, is she now becoming more popular than TCS? These comments are highly interesting and a recommended read for everyone because it teaches you vulgarities from the lowest-class to uh, debates of the upper echelons. A real eye-opener for the world. Now someone's famous, huh?
Well, that's the consequence of being too smart.
At least I don't have 200 comments at the end of my post waiting to be read.
Perhaps those Ss and Us have been worth it after all. And oh by the way in latest news I got kicked out of Chemistry remedial. Much as I told the teacher I want to join because I DEFINITELY won't study if I don't go for remedial, he remained adamant that other people need more help.
Fine - I suppose he needs to learn it the hard way. I'll be back next year right after CTs.
Final reminder. Don't be too smart. If you've been a failure once, you wouldn't be down in the papers (for the wrong reasons) plus getting 200+ unpleasant comments on your blog. Frankly, I like my life with below-average grades better.
(Edit: Oh by the way she was GEP.. big surprise there ya. And turns out she took French. Bloody hell, such a disgrace to us Frenchies.)

She doesn't understand the concept of chiral centres, that being in the centre of attention will only cause you to have stereoisomers.
Stereoisomers, or different spatial arrangements of atoms with similar chemical formula (I think), denotes variety. Variety means confusion. Therefore having these isomers will cause your life to be in a mess. Life in a mess means your life is screwed. Which is what she is now. Perhaps she should have really considered taking Chemistry.
Long story cut short, I think she should stop bragging just because her papa's an MP or just because she's having fun taking Humanities. For one, taking Arts/Humans subjects grants you automatic promotion so it's no big deal that she's 18 and in J2. Next year I will be 18 and I will be in J2. So what is there to boast about?!
Dire consequences will follow suit. Reading her blog (now defunct), there is only one post just inviting comments. I last checked it two days ago and it has 112 comments. Now it has 279. Wow, is she now becoming more popular than TCS? These comments are highly interesting and a recommended read for everyone because it teaches you vulgarities from the lowest-class to uh, debates of the upper echelons. A real eye-opener for the world. Now someone's famous, huh?
Well, that's the consequence of being too smart.
At least I don't have 200 comments at the end of my post waiting to be read.
Perhaps those Ss and Us have been worth it after all. And oh by the way in latest news I got kicked out of Chemistry remedial. Much as I told the teacher I want to join because I DEFINITELY won't study if I don't go for remedial, he remained adamant that other people need more help.
Fine - I suppose he needs to learn it the hard way. I'll be back next year right after CTs.
Final reminder. Don't be too smart. If you've been a failure once, you wouldn't be down in the papers (for the wrong reasons) plus getting 200+ unpleasant comments on your blog. Frankly, I like my life with below-average grades better.
(Edit: Oh by the way she was GEP.. big surprise there ya. And turns out she took French. Bloody hell, such a disgrace to us Frenchies.)

a yellow line
i really get sick of all the announcements in the MRT stations. First, there's the one telling everyone to not eat in the stations and trains. Then, there's the one to tell everyone to report suspicious articles. And finally there's the one to tell everyone to stand behind the yellow line.
If someone is stupid enough to stand near the train when it comes into the station, then he probably wouldn't understand the announcement anyway. So it doesn't make a difference. Or he wants to die anyway. Likewise, the boring announcement wouldn't make a difference. maybe the guy would want to die even more, knowing that the world is so boring.
Still, there's something wrong with the announcement, cos it tells you to stand behind the yellow line. But the yellow line is simply what it is, a yellow line. which way is behind? maybe it's that enticing piece of grey cement that we're supposed to stand on?

Something stupid
We have been talking about results and intellect too much, so here's a bit of brainless humour.
What are the similarities between a huge firm and a voluptuous girl?
1. Both can loan money easily from the bank (assuming noob bank in case of girl.)
2. Both practise dumping. Firms dump to get rid of smaller and weaker competitors, while voluptuous girls dump because well.. the guys simply aren't competent enough.
3. Both have huge assets.
And then a certain fat sicko who read it on MSN (because I typed it -.-) claimed that there was a fourth point - that the word "firm" would both be related to the firm and the girl.
It's obvious to see how the word "firm" links with "firm".
As for the girl, the girl would have huge and firm assets. Thus same as huge firm.
Okay that said, I hope it was brainless enough. Voluptuous girls are often brainless anyway.

For those who have waited
I'm sorry but you'd have to wait some more, there are great preparations underway to make this blog look better. Yup working on a template is harder work than you think it is, unless you're some Computer Club person. But then again you'd be an expert so it doesn't really matter. YL and I will use the new template soon, you have my word.
And you'll find that it's really worth the effort waiting for posts!
Meanwhile go read some other blogs at the sidebar - except my class blog. The content's getting shitty and I think it's full of trash, honestly. Yup that's it.

For those who have fallen
Promos results might be depressing, but you might take comfort in the knowledge that failure is the mother of success. It's been repeated so many times, that even in the recent CCAL Conference, the speaker (some big shot) noted that it was precisely because he failed so many times, which was why he succeeded.
And oops, Michael Jordan said that too. "I failed so many times, and that's why I succeed." - or something to that effect. Even if that quote doesn't make sense to you, it still doesn't change the fact that Michael Jordan is great.
He did mention as well that he missed 9000 shots before he finally turned pro. Now if there's one thing I question, it's his arithmetic ability. I'm sure he actually bothers to count the number of shots he misses? Those Americans are seriously crazy statcounters, or they are a great bunch of liars.
Of course we all know it's the latter.
Anyway, that's not the point. Taking a lesson from Michael Jordan, let us analyse how to succeed.
SUCCESS - is made out of Ss, U, Cs and an E.
Put that into your grades for promos, and you realise.. EH IT FITS EXACTLY. Scoring C, E, S or U does not mean the end of the world, it is merely the beginning of success. You can't succeed until you get that sort of grade first. Those who score As all the way through, you're at a disadvantage. And you know it. Now.
For those who get D and think you are out of range as SUCCESS = {C,E,S,U), don't worry.
There's always the verb, SUCCEED.
Ds are still pretty much in DEMAND. I like.
On the other hand, we see where As lead to.
_ A _ _ _ _ E
The word starts with F and ends with E. Now oops, did I see someone guessing "failure"? Getting As means you get complacent, and even if you don't, you have to keep momentum at the top and not lose steam. I'm not saying that's difficult, I'm saying I'd rather improve than stay stagnant at the top.
Getting 4 As all the time, will it not get boring?
Call it sour grapes if you want, I call it careful analysis of spelling.
So for those who have been getting C and below, my heart goes out to you. After all, having spent more than half my RJ life getting those grades (C to U).. and now that I've got back my promos..
THE TRADITION CONTINUES.
Essentially, this is a post to motivate myself as well. When the A levels come, we'll all get 4 As anyway. Don't worry, it's all under control.
And next time you complain about your C, think of the way you spell "success".
If you spell it any other way, then you fail GP.
(By the way, SUCCESS in French is RÉUSSITE, which shows even more violently how E, S and U will lead you to success. Yes one day we will all get there. Wherever "there" may be.)
And oops, Michael Jordan said that too. "I failed so many times, and that's why I succeed." - or something to that effect. Even if that quote doesn't make sense to you, it still doesn't change the fact that Michael Jordan is great.

Forrest Gump
Sorry if I'm retarded, but do you think Forrest Gump is spastic?
He goes "My mama says life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get."
Somehow I came across this somewhere on the Net, and I don't know if I've said this before - but when you have a box of chocolates, you know you're going to freaking get chocolates. And I don't know what sort of analogy is that, how can you compare life to a box of chocolates?
Anyway I'm sitting around killing time till Monday because I can't wait to get back my promos results. That is because I believe I've waited long enough, and patience isn't really one of my strong points.
In fact, I believe patience isn't even a strong point.
Let's look at it this way: If you are injured, you go to hospital. If you go to hospital, you become a.. PATIENT. Therefore patience is an act of weakness.
Get impatient. Just waste time till Monday.
No one followed the PSI 300 plan, unfortunately, and I've been to meaningless lessons for the past week. I am very disappointed to note that Singaporeans and RJC students aren't that obedient after all. They cannot carry out instructions properly.
Next time go army how?
Okay I think that's a very huge issue to tackle now.
I'm off to waste more time till Monday. Then I will start finding ways to console myself IN CASE I do not get good grades. It's called mental preparation, man.
Meanwhile, don't ever say life is like a box of chocolates. The only thing that is like a box of chocolates is..
..well, another box of chocolates.

oral presentation hooooo!
oral presentation is here. the ultimate chance for slackers to pull level with everyone else (not that i am one.) The interesting thing is that one is not graded for what you say, but rather how you say it. That said, why do we even need to follow the project in the first place. Isn't it better to just talk about something totally unrelated to the project but inject passion and fluency? In fact i can write you a script for this. bold is for emphasis
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, what i am going to talk about today is total bullshit, but you're going to have to hear me out because you are my esteemed judges and my future totally depends on you.
Now you may think that talking bullshit is easy, but i assure you that this is not the case. It takes a hell lot of guts to be standing before you like this and telling you the truth about oral presentation, but my omnipresent sense of justice does not permit otherwise.
The fact is that oral presentation, and in fact project work itself, is a total waste of time Why we still have to do it ranks as one of the greatest mysteries in the world, along with that of the Bermuda Triangle and why xiaxue's blog has so many visitors.
The only saving grace of pw is that you get this rare opportunity to hear me speak, which makes it a really good use of time for you, but not necessarily for me. But for my esteemed judges, i am willing to speak to you, for you are the masters of my destiny. To be honest, what I want from you is a recommendation that can propel me straight to university without having to take the 'A' Levels. But knowing that that is beyond your powers, I'll settle for an A. Negotiation can take place during the Q and A session.
Do note that i am having a lot of passion for the topic at hand and that should give me some more marks. Notice also the big smile on my face. *smiles* I have fulfilled all the criteria listed, whatever they are, and feel free to praise me. You're welcome, and I thank you for your kind attention.
Ok so this doesn't take five minutes, but as someone great said," the more the words, the less the meaning" so with this type of quality, who needs to speak for 5 minutes? If they're right about not caring about what you say but instead on how you say it, i don't see how this can fail to score full marks. Now for the q and a section, i'll only think of the answer to one of their general questions, so you'd better pray that this question goes to you.
Q: what has pw taught you?
A: pw has t.t...taught me soooo muccchhhhhh....*tears* Let your tears speak for themselves.
so this concludes my tutorial for oral presentation.

Worst excuse ever
Why do West Ham keep losing their matches?
Because their manager is Alan Pardew.
In French, Pardew sounds like "perdu" - which means "lost".
West Ham better start winning from now on ar! Prove my hypothesis wrong.

WTH?
This is the greatest irony of the school CCA system.
RJC only grants a certain CCA (let's say Cross Country) DSA students if they finish first. Well Cross Country Boys did finish first the previous year, so that's why we had some DSA J1s this year.
However, as Cross Country had to dismally finish FOURTH this year, we are not allowed DSA next year.
Now think about it. Isn't it stupid? Precisely because we finished fourth which is why we need the DSA to improve our performances.
Looks like RJC with all its ideas of elitism has done it again - DSA making the strong stronger and the weak being left to rot. That's seriously RJC tradition. Like how they treat those who got GPA 3.8 and above like God (or at least relative to other students) while faguts like me fall by the wayside.
No help then no help la!
I think next year my Cross Country chances of getting Top 20 as high of getting Chemistry Top 20.
Well, if I even make the team in the first place haha.

Instructions - PLAN PSI 300
Okay owing to PSI levels hitting 150 now, we've received new instructions from.. one of my friends.
I was thinking about it while watching news (or rather while my parents were watching news while turning on the sound REAL LOUD), because they did mention if the PSI hit 300 they'd have to stop school.
While physical activity is not recommended for PSI 51-100 and banned from PSI 100 onwards. And by the way, I'm not making this up - TCS isn't totally fiction if you haven't realised by now.
So I decided to give haze an ultimatum: 1) get down to zero so I can make my legs ache again or 2) get up to 300 so NO MORE SCHOOL. Since it's at PSI 150 now, it should be equally easy to reach either side.
But considering PSI 0 would be perfect and we all know that utopia doesn't exist, I think we should whack it up to 300 and just let school be cancelled. After all, the threat of doing PW is worse than the threat of dying from haze. I don't know about all of you but I have aircon and you must realise that we at TCS aren't exactly morally conscious people.
Here's the plan. Courtesy of my classmate.
' los dazzling soup says:
QUICK EVERYONE PROMOS ARE OVER
' los dazzling soup says:
BURN ALL YOUR NOTES
' los dazzling soup says:
MAKE PSI RISE
' los dazzling soup says:
THEN SCHOOL WILL CLOSE

- yj [ no. 10 ] says:
what are the chances
' los dazzling soup says:
very good if you all obey!
' los dazzling soup says:
start now!
- yj [ no. 10 ] says:

..and here we go! Wheeeeeee!
Talk about burning stuff today some old man was downstairs burning incense at the void deck of my block. Which kinda made me incensed but then again with this newly-formulated plan I think we should encourage all senior citizens to start paying respects to their ancestors NOW!
We call it PLAN PSI 300. GO GO!
(Edit: And maybe Singapore Pools could have betting. Like if the PSI is going to rise in the next hour, and all the various margins that it would change by. Ladbrokes and the English bookies have so much crap to bet about (eg if Beckham vomits in his next match), we could challenge them by offering such services too. Crap bets. Then another source of income for the Pools or the gambler, depends if I am the gambler or not. Anyway, considering that air pollution is air pollution, and Singapore Pools, being the Pools, shouldn't be much affected at all. Yup cheers.)

haze again
One dark and hazy morning yh and i went for training. yes, despite the haze.
but when we got there, ck came and said," i came to tell you all not to train, cos of the haze"
But then, we each made a one hour journey from home and it would be a waste of time if we didn't.
luckily, sk solved our problem by telling us, " aiya yesterday night psi was 80 only la, still below 100, can train".
Furthermore, there were little kiddies already swimming around, not floating (means not dead yet). And here we were like cowards afraid to exercise? No way man.
So in we went, happily. And stayed there for quite some time.
Then came out and went to school. To find out that the psi was a freaking 130 that morning!!!
*cough cough* die la.
And i realised the newspapers haven't been giving many guidelines about how to deal with the haze. So i'll give you some pointers.
1. Don't laugh. im serious. When you laugh, you breathe in vast amounts of the polluted air, then all the dust particles get stuck in your throat, then you gag and choke and die X.X
2. Always breathe in through your nose. Your nose acts as a filter for all the dust particles. Be sure to clean your nose every 30 minutes, otherwise it will stopper up and you will be forced to breathe through your mouth which may result in the consequence of 1.
But then in reality you people should take in deeper breaths of the dust particles so that there'll be less of it for me to breathe in. So that's all for now.
Oh and miao came up with the revolutionary car-powered bicycle.

There's something funny about Midautumn Festival being right in the middle of this haze. Because now the lanterns really come into use. You really need to use them to find your way around now.

Haaaaazyyyy!
To quote a certain ardent fan of this blog (Seetow aka anonymous), "the stupid indons are blurring our skies". If you don't believe me, look up at you'll find that this is true.
Okay perhaps not, if you're reading this after I just published. The haze usually somehow or other gets better in the evening, while it gets worse in the morning. Then at night it gets better again. People tell me it's because you can't see anything in the night, but I tell them they are being racist.
Next time your parents tell you not to play too much computer because it deteriorates your eyesight..
..just tell them: "it's not my eyesight, it's the haze."
Classic - and you can get away with it because that's the truth. Hazy skies for the win! Excuses abound!
On less relevant news, today was the first day of CCAL conference. The speakers made highly suggestive remarks which was rather amusing.
Examples include quotes from the lecture given by Mr Sivadorai S to the Sports CCALs.
"You call me Mr. S (ass)? Wait till I call your Mr. P. I'm not going to spell out the rest for you."
WHY P? WHY WHY WHY?
(asking Jude's Favourite Lad about hockey training)
"In hockey, after you take out the sticks and balls (in that order), you do your stroking, what else?"
I was thinking, perhaps after stroking there could be shooting. Of course, I didn't say that but everyone laughed at his comment.
By Mr Kevin Low (on some deputy head of the RJC board of governors),
"He's part of the main shareholders of BritishIndia. And he's really very successful. So I went over to his farm, and I got to rub shoulders with him."
There was something more suggestive than that but I can't remember the exact phrase.
The guest of honour, Mr Gordon Aw I think, wasn't willing to lose out.
"Who watched Titanic more than 4 times?" (a totally meaningless question)
then.. "so which part did you like best?" (like we don't know what's he referring to)
There might be some other quotes, but my memory fails me tonight. So I'm afraid I can't provide you any more entertainment - if you want just crash Part Two tomorrow. The lecture's at 8am at PAC. You don't have to take attendance, JUST CRASH.
But don't get caught sleeping like me or you're dead. Yup.
Okay perhaps not, if you're reading this after I just published. The haze usually somehow or other gets better in the evening, while it gets worse in the morning. Then at night it gets better again. People tell me it's because you can't see anything in the night, but I tell them they are being racist.
Next time your parents tell you not to play too much computer because it deteriorates your eyesight..
..just tell them: "it's not my eyesight, it's the haze."
Classic - and you can get away with it because that's the truth. Hazy skies for the win! Excuses abound!
On less relevant news, today was the first day of CCAL conference. The speakers made highly suggestive remarks which was rather amusing.
Examples include quotes from the lecture given by Mr Sivadorai S to the Sports CCALs.
"You call me Mr. S (ass)? Wait till I call your Mr. P. I'm not going to spell out the rest for you."
WHY P? WHY WHY WHY?
(asking Jude's Favourite Lad about hockey training)
"In hockey, after you take out the sticks and balls (in that order), you do your stroking, what else?"

Screw up newspapers and make a name for yourself!
It's ridiculous how boring sunday times can be. Take for example the fitness section where people email in photographs of their bodies and then describe how they achieve it. Which of course reinforces the perception of looks being all-important in our superficial and shallow society. Which of course should not be the case. But the worst thing is that it's so godamn boring. Almost everyone says
the same things. Sample below:
Diet: I try to avoid oily food. I only allow myself some on special occasions. I eat 10 boiled eggs a day. I take plenty of carbohydrates and buckets of protein drink. I keep my meals small, so i eat more often (way to waste your time, you vain idiot)
Exercise: I go to the gym x times a week (where x is equal or more than 3) i do bench press, and whatever other stuff they have in the gym. I also have dragon boating training x times a week (don't know why these people usually from dragon boating). Which means i like spend half my life exercising and the other half resting from the exercise.
Which brings me to my conclusion that these people have nothing better to do than to spend their lives obsessing over their bodies and making them buff.
The Challenge
The Challenge is to send in a picture of your buff body, hell, it doesn't even have to be your own body, there's so many pictures on the internet, and write your diet and exercise as such (or to similar effect)
Diet: Oh i don't have any restricitons on diet, in fact i eat oily food like KFC chickens and char kway tiao for every meal. I love fats. After every meal, i wash them down with soya sauce. yup, i drink it. And every night, i eat a tub of ice-cream.
Exercise: What exercise? Oh you mean watching television and studying. I do that all the time. No wonder i have such a buff body.
I wonder what'll everyone's reaction be. At least it's a break from what we see every sunday.
Another challenge is for thursday's urban part of the newspaper. If ever anyone of you ever get chosen for the 'hey, good-looking' section, be sure to be armed with this reply:
reporter: Do you think you are good-looking?
you: No way man, i think i look like frankenstein.

Let's Kick Racism Out of Football
The term all-stars is getting boring, i thought all-blacks would be a greater success instead, just like in new zealand. Being an observer of the English Premiership League im going to give you a better understanding of the it. Racism is a problem in football. The blacks are usually those that are discriminated against. Thus, it is natural to form a whole team of black players to show that black players can play football as well and fight against racism. So, introducing the all-blacks! Playing the traditional 4-4-2.
In goal we have Shaka Hislop.
Unfortunately i don't know about him so skip that.
Left back: Ashley Cole
you know him right? so that saves me the trouble of loading the pic. He costs 5 million plus William Gallas (another black but since Cole costs more Gallas isn't here). 'best left back in the world' says someone. but actually i also can. If i run slower, then i just get left back right?
Centre back: Kolo Toure
You know him too. He's tall and good and blah blah blah. i just think it's a waste of energy to load pictures. He's good. No? Well too bad you gotta trust me on that.
Centre back: Joseph Yobo
He's good too, and i happen to like his name. I think it's really cool.
Left midfield: Emmanual Eboue
He's got a cool name too. plus he's fast and skilful.
Centre midfield:Michael Essien
This powerpack is worth 24million, which is like dunno how many hdb flats, and millions of cups of the iced tea sold at rjc.
Centre Midfield: Edgar Davids
This guy looks like he's going to bite the living crap out of you. They don't call him bulldog for nothing. Plus he wears these cool goggles.
Right midfield: Shaun Wright-Phillips
The fact that he's sitting on a bench somewhere (Chelsea?) doesn't mean anything. Ever heard of the Chinese idiom 不鸣则以一鸣惊人(might have a word wrong, sorry my chinese rusty). That means he can suddenly explode and become a super zai player. He also cost 24 million and that's proof of his quality.
Striker: Shaquille O'Neal
Peter Crouch has just proven that anyone who is very tall can score goals, so having Shaq here is natural.
Striker: Louis Saha
Another one with a cool name. Sahahahahahahaha!!
Manager: Michael Jackson
Turth be told, i don't know why i chose him. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that he tried to turn white and it became a total disaster. Serves as an example for those who want to follow in his footsteps.
"In the name of some divine being, i command thee, racism, to get out of football!" and so goes the exorcism of racism.

Biology tips part two
Today's quote is universal, it's for the world.
I trust you've heard it many times before. And I find great meaning in it. I find great pleasure in repeating it. Because when we all grow up we know that there's a little bit of playful childishness left in us. Although in some people it appears more evident than others.
Take me, for instance.
I want to be king and rule the world.
And anyhow, here's the quote: "HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!"
I feel younger already.
But that's not going to stop the Biology promos on Monday! So do kindly allow me to continue with my Biology tips. Even though we might stop and feel tempted to sing "sama sama maju ke hadapan", let us reserve it till after promos.
BIOLOGY BY YJ (PART 2)
Phylogeny is the classification of species based on their anatomies, embryological similarities as well as their molecular similarities - ie their internal structures and stuff. It's like grouping students according to how much they score for their Maths test.
Classification is based on mostly outermost appearances, and on certain common characteristics. It's like grouping students according to their looks. (which means it sucks and hence it's not worth learning)
Phylogenetic classification is a mixture of both. Cool!!
All living things 1) have a cellular organisation (we're all cells)
2) show metabolic activity (??)
3) grow and develop (??)
4) reproduce (or meiosise, or conjugate)
5) have a common heredity molecule/nucleic acids (??)
6) respond to stimuli (??)
7) adapt to the environment (ya right, why would people complain when they are put in an unfamiliar environment where life sucks eg RJC?)
An obligate parasite is an organism that will die without its host. It reminds me of a certain ex-classmate of mine, I shall not mention who.
There are three parts in a virus, the genome, the capsid and the envelope. All I know is that the capsid acts as a protein coat and thus the rest are kind of useless.
And like the Biology students studying for Biology, I suddenly feel a wave of fatigue overcome me. Already I can smell the freedom of tomorrow, the air of the end of promos. LIKE DUH I can smell it, because I've already smelt it.
Tomorrow YL will be liberated, and therefore I will not go on and on.
Final tips:
If you sleep early, tomorrow comes faster (psychologically, of course).
If tomorrow comes faster, the exam starts earlier.
If the exam starts earlier, it ends earlier.
Then you get promoted earlier.
My friends of H2 Biology, stop reading this shit and go and sleep.
Last minute mugging does not help.
May Lady Luck smile at you tomorrow, and let her provide the magical answers in your head. The world awaits with bated breath to celebrate the end of promos with you.
That's all. GO BIOLOGY STUDENTS!
(Joy is best shared, so I'd be truly happy tomorrow. No point having my happiness stifled as I watch my friends suffer zomg.)
