" We actually made something but, right now, the model is recuperating from a rather unfortunate loss of liquid"
Grr... Shows that stuff which you build in one day last for only like a week. Oh WELL, at least it's still half-filled. Or half-empty.
Oh Yes, and i need to stop varying my loudness. I thought that would at least bring a measure of drama into the presentation, along with using the Ace of Hearts as my cue card. Really. The small things that they notice are always looked down on...
Maybe i should just squeak like some trapped mouse throughout... That'll be fun.ny
Well... thanks to eric coming up with the question about the slimy stuff growing in the reservoir. It's flowing water right? Shouldn't have, imagine your pipes to the mains if it really does grow. Sure give ya nightmares.
Life is seriously getting monotonous.

The Prestige
Are you watching closely?
Yes! The Prestige. I thought i would watch something like DOA first, but i have no regrets... a few reasons why.
Terricfic presentation in my opinion, particularly love the end echoing the start. And the effects... whoo. Storyline is unique, though predictable... but it was morbid thinking of the ending, almost made me hoped that the ending could be different. Wouldn't have it any other way though. I'm aware many have watched it, but it's worth watching again, picking up all the small clues dropped throughout the movie.
And all walked aimlessly round PS after the movie, like a bunch of homeless kids. Well, no, actually we were just waiting for zq to make up his mind and decide that having others watch him eat isn't that embarrassing.
Stupid game we played over dinner.
Why today almost everyone suddenly wanna take bus home ar? Strange...

OP workshop (OPW a.k.a. Oh.. Project Work..)
Why do teachers have to set this mock exam? This chinese (shudders) mock exam. Don't know, i slept through it anyway... waste of time. One wakes up early just to travel and look at squarish characters that makes no sense right-side up or up-side down. I have a really deep suspiscion this world thrives on screwed logic.
Oh wow, found out that i can't really present. And i'll have to be a prop.
Good (as in, fabulous) job on the video/ad though, it should be nominated for an oscar or something. yep. Since i'm the antagonist.
GiC has selected the victims for their programmes... but i didn't recieve anything, maybe i'm lucky? AND i found out that the NUS X-perience camp is in DEC!! Wahhh!! It clashes with OGL training (if i get though)....
Seems like everything clashes...
Bruises?

Hari Raya... haha
Man, The day i'm supposed to be celebrate by feasting turns into one i skip my meals. All for some OP prop which wouldn't last a minute.
So.. through all the chloroform, Araldite and silicon, finally the defective product is born. Ok, it's only defective for this night. Should be waterproof tomorrow... hopefully. Stupid health-unfriendly waste of time, PW is.
And there's the long hated Chinese tomorrow... Well, well, life is CERTAINLY looking up.

Pee Dahh-Blues (part 2, con't)
Back from a harrowing session of filming for the advert. Stupid PW... What else could possibly drive a perfectly sane person (ME) to wear a jacket indoors. Yeah, plus hood. If i were a middle aged or an elderly, i might have appreciated the free sauna.
And the immense number of NGs... and repeats
On a much lighter note, YX's parents are sooooooo friendly!! Free drinks are the sign of a gracious host. But food. PIZZA!! wahaa..Nothing tops that, i guess...

Pee Dahh-Blues.. (part 2)
Not fair, PW later at 2... and i still dunno how to go Haig court. Never mind. I'll just follow the ants/cranes/ litter/ puppies. Hope it turns into another paper folding session... highly unlikely, with Ruth around. Bahhh..
If i laid here...i hope you are somewhere far away

Pee dahh - 'blues'...
Sometimes i don't know who's worse off, my sis taking O's this year (with me bugging her, of course ) or me stuck in some cafe doing the OP powerpoint slides...
Found this very nice skin, thanks to don't know who for placing this on net...
Maybe, just maybe, i joined too many programmes. When the others were out enjoying the full day to the fullest... i was stuck in a certain lab (synapse) trying to tune in to the lecture on excretion. Bio olympiad training is really eating into my enjoyment. Well, at least i don't have to go hungry. Food takes top priority, especially after i know exactly what happens to it after in disappears.
The Sky's the limit. Twist that, and the implied is that there is no heaven...

of Econs and Interviews
Gahh... Econs nearly killed me
as expected i guess...Serves me right for having the delusion that a Science oriented person could hope to do better. At least i have a full house, as in a pair and a triple. Though those with four of a kind would win me, but hey, not as if i didn't try.
2 interviews in a day. I thought it'll be tiring, but the GIC one was relatively informal, i didn't get grilled or fried or subjected to any culinary means of extracting information. One on one, lightens tension.
OGL interview was another matter. Nnneearly couldn't maintain. Wanted to enter twirling, doing the hard gay "HOOO!!", but better sense and my nearly non-existent conscience nagged. SO, i walked in. As normal as i could. What's a Victorian who don't know any dances, can't answer a question without leading to wrong assumptions ( I prefer U2 simply cos they have a mission, unlike backstreet or boyzone, what's tt gotta do with me preferin older men?? sheesh...), running for OGL? To go there and tell lame jokes i guess....
Chickens don't cross roads, but if it makes you happy... they did. As to why, i guess those bloody cowards hiding in the cabinet can explain, why me????

Wah lau!
How to describe? to express?.... oh yea...
Damn Freakin PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, thirteen question marks. Don't know why, nice number i guess. It' a definite "buh-bye" to holidays. Unless i suddenly...... disappear...
Econs teachers are the crappiest bunch of people. What in the world ever inspired them to give the two parts of the paper on different days?? Die means Die, no point dragging it out right? This is like "Death by a Thouands Stings". Blunt needles style. Ouch. Maybe they'll need like a few thousand Sennin Goroshis so that they'll finally wake up.
If i reach first, i'll personally usher them to hell. Through the gates. Ushering skills? Don't worry, i'll work on them. Most probably, though, that wouldn't happen.
Cranes for Grains... hmm.. it doesn't work. I ate two cranes, but i'm not that much fuller. Two bowls of rice would have lasted me till dinner. Apparently two cranes don't. I must be breaking down huh? Eating paper cranes. Used to think that only results could make me worry (parents.... self-explanatory ya?), now it seems i'm correct. A little more than correct. Just a little...
...Considering the stature...
Pissed... let me take it out on others..
Today's OP lecture. Well, the least they could do was to send someone who could speak well. You know... pronunciation and phrasing are important. Who would possibly care how John F. Kennedy's body language brought him victory, or how screwed Nixon's was. Who could if they were referred to as "United States of President". Oh wow, the howls (and Yong Chao's particular attention drawing hoot) of laughter, and the presenter was none the wiser. Obviously, she's either a good actress or a misplaced presenter ( VJC does not stand for Victoria Junior Care).
Why though? Why do i care about results... noo.. should be "why do teachers want to grade us". I mean, if they had really wanted to grade us, as in stop caring about our "masterpieces" and look at us, the grades would have been...
- A : Acceptable?
- B : Bad
- C : Can do better
- D : Drastic improvement needed
- E : Expected la... about time u gave up
- O : OMG are u sure you're in the right place at the right time? / S : Suck to the core
- U : *Uncontrollable fits of swearing*
nahhh...... I'm sure it'll be more anal if they had really wanted to grade us instead of our works, knowing them (as a student would perceive them as)...
and why though, why are you still stuck in my head??

of Promos and OP
Damn discouraging, promos marks are. I dread econs tomorrow. But heck, what could be worse than having S for GP? U for econs? If Foong gets a D for econs, it's a flush. A (chem), B(bio), C(maths), D(econs???) and E(GP). Man..but if it's poker, i'll win. Three of a kind beats flush. sorrie dude...
Oral presentation draws ever closer, so does other activities. I'm never going to get any holidays at this rate. Serves my curious ass right for signing up for so much stuff... No backing down now, not as if it'll kill. As long as i don't run out of food, i'll survive.
yepp..that, and desert. And there's always somewhere over the rainbow if everything looks unpromising. Just hoping that there are others there...

PW pWP
WAhhhhh... PW's going to Kill me. Not that i don't welcome that. Just that it'll be like Steve Irwin dying from that stingray attack. No way will i accept that. Either i die normally or with a bang, brutally. Not in some freakishly simple way. Feel sad for Steve, an electric eel or Great White (imagine : Red Sea) would have been better.
At least the WR is over, not done with. The Initiator wants to do a final lookthrough. Seriously, cutting down from 4 thousand plus words isn't easy. 5 hours. @#%! time better spent outside (not really, with the haze and all) spacing out...
I haven't blogged much bout past few days. K then, there was a Chem olympiad selection (ehh, selection? was more like picking on students. questions looked alien) test, mainly chinese there. And we all wonder why... intellectual prowess?? Nah, can't POSSIBLY be, rite?
Open house. Just great man, burnt/melted the hair on the back of my left hand. Stupid non-burning note experiment, coudn't they have found a longer forcep? one which is like one feet long... But, atmosphere was damn freakin HIGH!! no, i'm lying. That was only during the mass dances, which admittedly is quite often.
I'm such a bad usher. Couldn't even get a visitor to try out squash. Maybe because i walked them round for an hour or so. Slacked like free after that. in PT. Oh man, the guitar perfromance rocked!! Having someone who can't sing perform "true" is, frankly, a crowd puller. Just that most of them would be bent double.

Liberation?
Yessss, exams are officially over!! For me, that is. Took me a day to realise that. Ok, maybe two. Ah well, who cares anyway. Chinese paper was predictably cryptic. I'm beginning to wonder if Chinese is a language...
Watched "Little Miss Sunshine" to celebrate. Cathay... Nice seats. Better service. I was torn between guilt and shock and awe. Either that or i was getting them all at once. Weird. Was almost inclined towards feeling apologetic for flipping Johnnie-boi's cheesy thing. Man, had to control... didn't want to call him a dipstick or something. But the MOsT amazing thing is, the manager (issit? not too sure, he should have been one) replaced his snack. Wished i could go there everyday and just "throw" half-eaten popcorn.
Great movie, i just love twisted logic. Here are some quotes :
"When you're young, it's crazy to do those things; when you're old, it's crazy not to do them"
"There are two kinds of people: Winners and Losers" yeahh right... then what do you call those who are still competing?
"F**k lots of women, not just one, many" emphasis on maaaannyyy
"And go get yourself a fag mag" perfect for dudes who defile tagboards
"FUUCCKKKK!!!!!!!" Dwane's first words after a 9 months long vow of silence. How...uhhh, suitable.
"Was that sarcasm?" who cares?
"Are you going to win?"
pretty cute huh? It wasn't all Sunshine after that. Tears just ruin a day. They leave stains. On the clothes (lucky me, wasn't mine). On the way. On the fabric of time. Stay strong pillar of strength, if you ever read this. Even much more so if you don't.
on account of us being ex-OGmates, i offer the following to him:
"srew you!! teme!!!!"

exams?
Dude, if you ever need proof about the amount of stress exams create, go check the tagboard. Haha. yepp. The almost irritatin anonymous tag-ger iss back. Still as obscene as ever. But hey, who cares? Maybe i do. Too lazy to do anything about it anyway.
Well, so, ahem... exams are over for the blessed few. FEW. I've Chinese tomorrow. Makes one wonder how this is going to help me in life. In the eyes of the ignorant, i'll be 'free' tomorrow, but what exactly is freedom? Don't know, don't want to. I'm a slacker by nature, not doing anything is quite welcomed, if not normal.
Chem paper should be manageable for those who read class blog AND study. An A?? maybe. Cheers to Red Bull! Finished MCQ in 15+ mins and spent 20 stoning, high on sugar. Yepp... grew wings ya? but they won't let me fly.
And Maths is just there to help ya. It's easier than midyear's, if i say so myself.
Econs is all about being uneconomic. Really. It'll save money and trees to just fail me. Now i have to waste ink as well. Talk about being an econs student.... maybe that's why i fail.
Bio? Bio is Bio. Maybe one day i'll finally figure out why my hand cramps halfway writing the essay. Still finished though. The paper i mean.
I've always been a great believer in tomorrow. Especially when it comes to homework. But the prospect of facing pages after pages of what could be the greatest secret to life ( Chinese?!! seriously, it more like some secret formula to torture people like me) which un-fortunately is encoded so that i'll take approximately one day less than an eternity to figure out that i need to give up just doesn't cut it.
