Interesting how most of the people digging the story now has no idea how to even use 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0

Haha, at least now it's more on freedom of media though. What's wrong with the use of a string of numbers? Most people don't have the access to linux and a HD-DVD drive.

Heh, maybe now I can crack Lenson's Planet Earth.

When will the numbers be illegal in Singapore?

I Love Exams!

One should have an optimistic outlook on negative aspects of life. Hence, I feel that exams are the best thing ever.

Where else in the World can you get a table, chair, awesome view of the outside again, and the wonderful peace and quiet in class never experienced at any other time(unless the teacher is scolding or something horrible has happened).

Where can you find the opportunity to assess your overall performance over a range of academic subjects tailored to your learning ability and standard by age?

Isn't it great to have exams?

Okay. I think that's a way too optimistic outlook, and I can't understand half of what I'm saying. But nvm...

From Third World To First.

Got this book for free during the Media Club talk a few weeks back on Megan Zheng.

756 Pages in total. =D
Started reading on 30th March, ended on 2nd May.

Which would mean I read 756 pages in 38 days. Or 19.89 pages on average.

I think it's a nice book, although it has lots of profound words. Some of which even I don't understand man. (heh) Certainly very insightful on the History of Singapore and it's past relations.

But I think it's unfortunately been an endless distraction up to now. Like I'd read it when I was bored with studying. =/ But now I've finally read it, so no more excuse right...

Ah wells, maybe I'll get an A for Social Studies if the question is on Singapore's economical progress and relations with it's neighbours. But the topics are on Healthcare, and there's only 4-5 pages related to healthcare. Bleah.

Mid Year Examinations.

Haven't blogged in a long time. Busy mugging for exams. And I've learnt lots of new stuff! =D

Been trying to twirl a pen with my fingers the past week. Heh, after much careful research and studies, I have concluded that there are 2 ways to twirl a pen with your fingers. One with your index finger, and the other with your middle finger. Both require the skilled, precise coordination with your thumb and successful revolutions will become increasingly harder to balance as the velocity of the pen increases and hence reduces stability due to the constant motion and centrifugal force of the pen.

Okay, that's just a very chim way for me to explain why I'm wasting my time doing pointless stuff. =P

And I also learned how to balance two Pilot G2 Pens on 1 Pilot G2 Pen. Credit goes to Chee Hock for imparting to me his knowledgeable advice on this skill. Will put pictures when I have the time.

PE lesson on Thursday was floorball. I should never have worn the Converse shoes.Taken in class. When I was bored. But I forgot why I was bored.

I should have worn adidas shoes instead, like the one pictured below which I bought a few months back...
My recklessness and horrible accident in the choosing of shoes resulted in me having a blister the size of a 50-cent coin whilst playing floorball.That's my leg, in class, with my bag in the background.

My back was also super painful, probably from bending over to use the stick too much. The floorball stick is too short lar...tall people like *cough* me suffer. =)

The blister, as it turned out, did not burst at all. Until yesterday when I felt excruciating pain whilst playing soccer with Chee Sheng in class with a water bottle.

HI Idol also announced the top 10 finalists yesterday. No one from sec3 in the top 10. Such utterly devastating news. And I saw Debra in the audition video. Hehs.

Unfortunately, I also got back a lot of depressing results this past week. Very depressing. =/

Gah...I'm so horribly saddened by the mere prospect of upcoming examinations in 2 days time.

Guitar Practice

I think I should start watermarking my photos. =D

Taken whilst waiting for my sister's group to finish playing. The tabs in the picture are horribly hard to play in my opinion.

NPCC Annual Day Parade 2007.

Day started with me going to Mac's for lunch with Hao Xiang. =D

Then we went to Sengkang Sec, boarded the bus, waited for Yi Hong who was super late.

Dry run was horrible. Cause we waited to march out for super long. Then suddenly thunder appeared and Cat1 warning issued by some Command Centre. So we had to go to the drill shed and train. =/ Bleah.

Break at the mass hall was quite ok. Wedges and Nuggets. And a muffin for some strange reason. Haha, but I guess time seemed to fly by faster cause we had a nice air-conditioned classroom to rest in? Unlike last year's Syf where we had to sit on the floor outside the National Stadium.

Parade itself was tiring, my legs felt numb and I felt super dizzy. But the feeling of being in a major parade is still very shiok la. Haha. Although there were a couple of mistakes here and there...

Feeling was bittersweet after the parade though. Kind of relieved and happy that it was finally over, but sad that it's probably the last parade I'd be in, and the last time I'd get to march in the contingent. So everyone was enthusiastic when marching back to the classrooms knowing it was like the last time for many of us? Since most of the staff sergeants already passed out. And unless there's a miracle that we'd get to go hta again next year, there's pretty much no more chance of another parade.

Ah wells, 2 parades is enough. Haha. Played around taking photos with random people in the contingent/area. Then went to celebrate with squadmates at Compass Point.

I think I'll never forget this parade for a long long time. =)

Planet Earth.

Borrowed the Dvd from Lenson a few days back.
Chiong-ed the whole thing in a day. With a couple of breaks la. But the documentary was so nice...got lots of amazing pictures of different parts of the world. And the caves part is so scary...

Haha, showing on Wednesdays 10pm on Arts Central. But I watched it already. =P

There's another 5 more in the series? Heh. I wanna watch also!!
