Swine flu fever

this is really a lol

i got to go home because 4 ppl from my class are sick

mingyang, chenyu, vicky, amirul

and i talked to mingyang and chenyu just on friday

now im not allowed in school, for the day = ="

MY ART!!!!!!!!!

why cant it be on a normal day? now i got to draw at home with no art supple beside a pencil and an eraser....awesome

and chenyu was all fine when i talked to him? what, now i got the flu from him and i just spread it to the art class?

really, if just ONE person die of swine flu in singapore, we can kiss goodbye to school

o lvl? maybe it would be the year where everyone passes o lvl, maybe it would be the year there is no o lvl (that would suck, all the effort i've put in!!!! D=)

but, nothing so far, once again

drawing at home...slightly less productive, ok fine, way way less productive....

haha

suddenly thought of steve irwin.....the croc hunter

remember that guy? CRACKY!!!

he's show's awesome
















this thing just wont go away.....

BLANK

again.....

wanted to blog sth, but just cant remember it....

exam's coming again, yay

more going home at 12:30 awesomeness

the (only) bright side of exams lol

hmm...

sometimes, i wonder, are we turning into zombies? not, undead killing machine, just, mindless working machine....born and programed to obey

think, while it's still allowed

also.....

the srp thing is really, bombastic (?)

and even the srp ends and 5:30, i still stays behind till 6-7 for do draw....

yeah, art has no need for studies, no theory, no brainer....but the talant part come into effect way more then other subjects (dnt included)

im not complaining.....im just saying that i did it? lol

its not as bad as it sound anyway...

we get to eat and drink, walk around the room, use phone, headset (like my big ass one)

i watched quarantine on roy's itouch while drawing, it was pretty awesome

a loled @ the part where the fireman used a sledge hammer on a woman and a dog infected with rabies...the movie feels like the game left $ dead....infected, not undead, pale blue skin, crazy non-human screams, screaches and bites......hmmm.....the only different is l4d does not have a creepy little girl hiding behind......sth, can really see, its dark, and stuff

at least at home there's always a bed, sofa, tv, computer at home waiting for me =D lol

not to forget missy, that fat stupid cute fur ball XD

sometimes i just wonder, are we programed to find mother's voice irritating? someitmes, that high pith voice just could go right through my ears, causing brain damage....

GO TO SHOWER!!!!

OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DONT TALK LIKE THAT!!!! lol

What?! (another random post alert, get used to it, lol)

i really dunno what to type here.....let's see what comes into my mind

im just, wasting my time?

there's this magic about this screen im staring at (so does you) that sucks life away

technology is sure one evil, and powerful thing

modern life is making human suck....

we dont even know how to survive in the wild any more....

eating bugs should not be a problem....remember when u used to hear eating fish raw was so weird? (maybe not lol) bugs should not be that weird too.....

wanna eat one one day, lol

school sucks, once again....i just can't understand the point here...

maybe it's bad? but i do this thing called thinking, and being in school just doesn't make sense...

so does many many other huge stuff in life...

thinking is really bad? or does some things just shuts down the logic part of the brain?

so what if our whole family is thinking the same way, so what if the whole world is thinking the same way...a stupid thing is a stupid thing no matter how many people love it.....

owell.....

i think i've said all the crap above before....lol

argh, games, videos, ANYTHING FROM THIS FREAKING SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope i can change....for the "better"?

my better and others better is different

maybe my math score, issn't that important to me....does a vet really need to know how to find the area of a triangle from the sides it have? wtcrap

i really, really wonder what was the mind of the person was going through when he was trying to find the angle from the triangle's side.....does he love triangles so much?

like, "WHOA, i just got this number, when u times it this way, u can get the length of the sides of the triangle! right angle triangle only though.....lol"

well, trigo is not ALL that bad...without it, we wont be on the moon, but the real ass hole is the one who decided that "ALL THE CHILDREN'S SHOULD LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL! =D"

WTF?!

thanks for wasting years of my life learning it just to forget it as soon as i get my o lvl cert.....

learning things for the sake of it, to pass the test, just doesn't sound useful/fun to me....

kinda think about it, right angle is a really weird name.....so what...the rest of the angle are wrong? or left? doesn't make sense if it's left....so what? its wrong? what makes you the right one?! 90 degrees doesn't make a difference!

lol

LEAVE THE ANGLE ALONE! D'=

art today....was pretty, productive? draw 3 pic's today, not too bad =)

this really hardcore painting, painted it since 4-530 yesterday and 1030 - 3 today, that's some hard core shit huh? it end up really nice

even geraint asked "you draw all this on your own?" "ya" "even the face?" "ya? is it a good thing?" "ya"

lol

sherlyn, roy, geraint, me, farroqq (spelling) are like, the only few that hit at least 20 (Sherlyn did 40 = =") out of the 60+ needed....and you know what? the normal next door is even faster, they are starting the final painting already, 2 weeks ago, when we just brought the canves.....real far behind...

my math, is really scary....im guessing i could get a B for chi,eng,sci but math? D?

my poa and humanities are, dead, gone, finnois , Finnisch, finlandês, финский язык, finlandés, (in french, german, portuguesse, russian, and spanish, multilingual finishes)

this is really random, so, tag if u want to? lol kthxbye (have been saying this for quite sometime for some reason)

great news?

random sms about driect poly admin got me looking up at poly sites again

i pressed ctrl + f (that is to find a word in a web page if u dont know) and typed vet and scarched

to my horror/surprised (i feel like im typing a compo lol)

theres ANOTHER vet course, offered my ngee ann (weird spelling, huh)

its new, so new that they dont have a cut off point yet =\

scary, now i got more things to pick from, IF im staying for poly (1 yr max, or thats what my mom say)

canada? when? or poly? if poly, what to choose? vet? media? what poly? could i even pass o lvl?

QUESTIONS........................................................................................................................................................................without answers

now i wonder when is mcr making their now album....even roy quited, im like the only loser still likes them, awesome

late '09, earily '10? im still waiting...

and this, my friends, is the best quote EVER

"I've no interest in schools. They have no relevance in the 21st century. They were a Victorian idea to get kids off the street. Who decided that putting 30 kids with only their age in common in a classroom with one teacher was the best way of educating? At my school there were 52 kids in the class and all I learned was how to pass the 11-plus. Testing is the death of education. Kids should leave school at 11 and go to work. Not down the mines or up chimneys, mind, but working with computers or something relevant. Everything I learned after 11 was a waste of time. Trigonometry, Boyle's law: it's never been of any use to me. They should have been teaching me the life skills I was going to need, such as building relationships, parenting and managing money. I didn't have a clue about any of these things at 18. Schools need to change."
Terry Deary

EXCATLY what i thought, to the point there we should stop school at 11yrs old, this is just awesome

Terry Deary, the author of Horrible Histories, my brother was crazy about lol

actually, i wanted to make a video before holiday ends........nothing happened

argh

have fun with school

my o lvl today felt better the round 1, not bad

and i said the lamest shit i ever made.....kinda screwed in the end i think lol

*fingers crossed*

missy watch & school all over again...

her wound is better now, thx =)













this is missy, after we buy the plastic thing (anyone knows what is it called?)














and this is missy with the paper one before we get the plastic one (poor kitteh kat)

ok, school stuff

am i the only one laughing? this school is really a joke = ="

1st thing i see, is the ugly new coat of red and blue againt the yellow at the audi.......wtheck?

then i see mr. omchan..........with his usual shorts, and the yellow rope the doc used for surgery, and his usual angry eagle eye...................ULTRA WEIRD

and then the baby blue doors......lousy weird poasters about sport tips

hey, i never asked for it so i get the right to complain about it!

and why the hack they paint it right in the middle of a school day? do they love the smell of that freaking paint so much? WTF!!!!!!! im caughing like mad, SWINE FLU

i cant believe they are still not over the swine flu scare.....yeah, sure, 500+ ppl were infected....anyone dead yet? no?! = =" (in singapore)

if just ONE person dies from it, that's it, no school, so that person, DIE

yeah, u got that right, i wished death upon a person, hey............that's not THAT bad...swine flu ain't the worst way to die....at least u die in the hospital

and u die big! the WHOLE singapore stoped going to school because of YOU! pretty awesome huh

that wassn't me, it was brent, the mean ver. of me LOL

anyway, think you're clean? TAKE THIS

does this ring a bell? virous infection? dead ppl? z-z-z-zombie? LOL u might want to take a look at the "guide" again

ok, guys, the plan is, last one alive(clean) meet in school, geather and make all the stuff we can in the D&T workshop XD

okok....why am i getting into the whole stupid zombie thing again.....

school is really screwing with my head....

after a whole night of trying to get rid of the "when u wash ur body wash ur hands too" tune in my head, there they are, thinking they are funny to show the exat same thing again = ="

now its stuck deeper in my head, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING

mrbrown, good one tho XD

also, see this, if u made it this far down

I LOVE THIS WHEN IM JUST A LITTLE BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



it's just mean to the core XD AWESOME! XD (i'm such an ass sometimes)

things....happpen....ALL THE TIME

many things happened these few days..

its the last week(infact its the last day lol), so i should be preparing my heart and mind for more shit load of stuff

the same old "welcoming" speach.........if we want to see mr low's face we can just go to bishan libary man...= ="

o lvl sppeaches by teachers

just hope i could just get this thing over and done with....

and the usual hair cut madness...did u cut ur hair? u gonna cut ur hair?

getting tired of the life i have now sometimes....and im not even half way through life ...good job kp

ppl come, ppl go....everyone knows that mj died

didnt really know him or his songs...

expect the song beat it

no, not because fob did a cover of it, because, u know, when u hear a new song sometimes it just stuck in ur head for a few days? that's what happened to me when my mom bought a mj dvd years back

then when i was swinging my googles after a swim, i was thinking "just beat it......" and my googles beat my balls = ="

ouch, beat it

do u know this person Farrah Fawcett died on the same day as mj? i guess mj is more famous lol

*back from youtube thx to my adhd lol*

so yeah, ppl die, in fact, 5 ppl die every sec................there we go again

and one person attampt to kill himself (him is more likely as man is 4 times more likely to commit suicide then woman) every 30 sec...........................................................................................................................................*BANG*

NOT EVERYONE ONE HAS THOUSANDS OF PPL CRYING OVER IT

so yeah, its just another person i never met to me........

also, missy got her ear hurt D=

she keep screaching it untill it blead.................

it happened before but it healed itself the last time

now she's screaching it so bad the wound keep reopening and so we decided to do sth about it

we copy the lamp shaped protecter thing with paper to stop missy from screaching her ear and we went out to buy a real plastic one....

since the paper one works fine so far, we kept it there so she dont have to go through all the pain and confusion of taking it off and putting it on again.....

poor lil' kitteh kat

pic soon i guess? u dont get that all the time...

also, with some weird combo, i managed to hang my mp3....its like all the mp3 i owned (all 2 of them) have a sceret code to hang itself and the only way is to let the power run out and charge it again....

the last one was if u plug the mp3 into the computer with the earphone attatched, it will hang, which developed my habbit of unpluging the headset before charging the mp3 (it can only be charged via the computer) i did the combo this time be accident, so i dont really know how did i manage to hang this mp3...weird stuff

CTDE (Clost To Death Experance)

so, i wanted to charge my psp

i plug in the the exdention socket thingy

*BOOM*

there's this great ball of light (ok, not really THAT big, but it's still pretty scary)

im glad that the charged needs an adapter, so its raised slightly further from my hand, which the explotion ALMOST touched my hand....

it would be ULTRA awesome if i could catch that on high speed camera

sadly/amazingly im not really glad that i lived, im more concern about the power supply.... suddenly, the whole house was super quiet, no more fan's humming, and whatever sound there is

went to the box the flip the swtiches back up....hmmm....nth at all...

the swtiches were up but there is just no power!

so i went out to where more chim power boxes and swtiches are and thx to my gaming experance, i know switches are behind those doors, and sure enough, 2 switches were off

so, after fliping 4 swtiches, and surviving an mini explotion, i lived another day to tell teh story

happy ending? but my life issnt end yet, how is this an happy ending.....

moral of the story? unplug it first

?????

my dad has gone back to hk once again...

feel kinda sad? he has been coming and going so much that, the sad feeling has been...reduced? numbed? but he calls once in awhile, so that's alright =)

he was concern about the whole canada thing too....makes me think of what would happen...picturing what would we do if u guys came to visit me LOL

snowball fight! lol

dont think u could fly 1/2 way around the world without ur parents....but hey, its just in my head

ahhhhh

just.......................

i have an awesome brain

lol

my dad is coming tomorow night! yay?

and we're going batam (spelling) on monday to wednesday

dont really feel like goig = ="

the whole extra classes thing just spoils the mood =\

Take 2! *beep*

so...its my 2nd chinese o lvl

still scary o.O

its like, as the day comes closer, the less i feel like studying....HOLY SHIT

ahhhhhh

soooo

i hope i could get great marks for this...

i've also looking at sth then vet "just in case..."

sth at the media side? im not sure....

theres one film course at np thats also 11 pts = ="

i dont think i want/could go into a jc....JUST LOOK AT ME

yeah, im not a jc person...uniforms? books?(well, i poly would have books too but, u know what i mean) and MORE HAIR CUTTING?

nah, jc is just not my cup of tea ( <-- look at that line, its awesome lol)

so, with a new intrest on the film making side, maybe things would turn out differently...who knows?!

it will come when it comes....

till then















































IM FREAKING SCARED O.O

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!

so much time has wasted typing.....yay 260th post! =)

these few days are sooooooo packed with chinese my head can explode....

its almost like that time, back then, long long time ago, when i started pumping my english...

i dunno if its taking a toll on me or what, but im sooo sooo sooo damn tired....

a slept at 12 , woke up at 6, reached home at 5, and slept till 8, and slept at 12 again....and i still slept in hall and class today!

im sooooo glad that i could wake up in the afternoon on sat.....

i was actually kinda happy that the circle line finally opened..and i tried it with jk yesterday...

louis was like "ITS SO SHINY!!! I KNOW U R JELOUS 'COZ ITZ ZO ZHINY!!!!!"

then, me and junkang agreed on one thing, this station looks dull = ="

its, er, average?

for me, i found out the circle line is not THAT much of a great deal coz, i have to walk longer if i took mrt vs wait longer for bus

and both the travel time is not THAT big of a difference...so....i'll take it when i feel like it?

or when louis drags me along..

ok guys, good new and bad news

the good news is, if the get to the tunnel, we might be ablle to get away alive

the bad news? I AM THE BAD NEWS

*GUN SHOT*

if u know what i mean.....

u dont? its ok =)

RARW!!!!

whoa crap......

ITS FUCKING HOT THESE FEW DAYS!!! O.O

1st june is really around the corner....

yeah, its my 2nd time taking this test, and im still stressed O.O

i got a 73 for this common test, way higher then i thought it would be, but, its not the o lvl, and i am stressed out O.O

and my mom was like "73? is that a C? or is it a B?"

"wth?! i got a freaking A2?!"

"but in hk, a 73 is a B"

"whoa, so most of my classmates got a B and i got an A is not enough?"

"u got an A2 right? what about the A1?"

= ="

somebody help me

so, im sure im not going to a JC, so heres my L1B4

eng: B4
math:D7
chinese:A2
Science:B4
Art:B3

Total:20

10 pts away from what i wanted.....yup, we've got a long long way to go....

MY MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, check this out =)

trash load of thoughts

common test, killed many of us....if not you, i was killed

GARGH

my head is like

lead

sinking into my skull

crack

are we still on the same page? lol

told parts of my results to mom....its ok so far

but, the main thing is not about what my mom feels about my results....

its really, if i get this shit for o lvl, i mights as well put a lead through my head

too bad, guns r illigel in sg

XD

me and my crazy thoughts

but seriously, i really need to pull up my poa and maths....I CANT FUCKING FAIL THEM

10POINTS BITCH!!!!

BANG!!!!

x.X

join a band, and quite education when i feel like its gonna be big, just like what frankie did

i wonder how ppl could have such luck...no wonder we suck so badly some times....somebody has all of them...

all the "super lucky" ones...getting all the good stuff...and then we, the "middle", get a little treat once in a while, and the "unfortunate" is there just to scare the shit outta the middle ppl

i really have no idea what am i gonna do with my life...

maybe i should stop thinking? maybe it'll work out when the time comes? who knows!

but we all just cant help but to, at least wonder, what's gonna happen in the future...are we supposed to do anything? or just sit and wait for rescue?

KALABAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yay! commontest is gone!!!

which means, the next big thing would be prelims = ="

sometimes, my mom is a little crazy

art vs poa, freaking poa, which one i would have a higher chance in scoring?

and im not even 100% giving up on poa! (maybe 50% i dunno =\)

but the thing is, i wanna a spent a little more time on my art to make sure i score it, rather then rushing both and not scroing in both = =" i already cant get an A for art....could i at least make sure a get an B3 or sth?

argh

and then, today, my art is screwed so badly.....i think im gonna get a C......dont ask

and poa, dont ask too....

well, on a brighter note?

MUSE ARE AWESOME

brrowed a muse cd from roy, after having trobule with the riping thing with itunes, i got it in mp3 format and put it in my mp3

AND IT WAS AWESOME

MUSE!!

and today, i learnt what it means by "becareful of what you wish for 'cos u just might get it"

i thought "since its such a hot day, i should take mrt...more air-con"

and yup, sure enough, 1 whole freaking hour stuck in the mrt = =" some train broke down or sth, i wish someone died

JOKING

i got outta ferrerpark for free(lol) and walked up, thought that i should read the map to find my way again, i walked back in the mrt, and guess what, the train came back in servise, a little luck in the shit hole?

so, in the end, im not expecting good results for this common test....hope i wont feel the same way after o lvl...

Time and time again

singapore weather is really, bombastic, whatever it means

that morning, i could got woken up by thunders and by afternoon, its hot as hell

the orange/yellow alert is pretty retarded, i wont be in school in the 1st place if my temperature is a slappy 38 degrees

slappy is a game character i choose randomly, and i decided to use slappy as an expression...randomness = awesomeness

think of the meaning of slappy on your own, it could be anything or it could be nothing whoa,zen)

i hate the concept of time...makes u cant do no shit...but i guess its preety important...so...i dont really know..

one thing's for sure, its CT!!!! nope, not chin teck, not crazy taxi, not counter terrorist, not even coconut tree, its the slappy common test!!!!! O.O

WTCRAP

my teacher purposely invited grace chua back to school to talk to us, they seem to know each other for quite some time...

when chua said "in a few more blink of the eye, it would be common test!" i decided not to blink for a sec, and then kept blinking for one full sec, just to see what happens....what was i expecting anyway? lol

damn....

hopes and dreams vs reality...

85?

wow, school's 85 year's old......or is it?

the building is certanly not 85 yrs old, its like, 4?5?6? sth like that

i hope not the teacher's in it...if a teacher started teaching when he is 20, he would be like 105 now?! what is it? twilight!?

difenitly not the students....

witch part of the school is 85? only the name!

and the school dont even started as kuo chuan....

so, remind me again which part of the school is 85?

and then they have all the money and time to spent on a celebration that's pointless all the way at fort caning

what so good about birthday anyway?

it marks the day you u r closer to be being dead, is that a good thing?

actually, ur closer to being dead by the sec

scary

so, what's the point of it all?

woot! my charmender is lvl12 now! XD

carlizard is still my all time favorite pokemon LOL

wtcrap...pokemon....

acutally suddenly i want to play so many more games O.O thats bad

fallout 3, sims 3

holy shit......

somebody help me.......... T^T

"The dying Earth"

Sure, the earth is dying

It has survived volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and u think some extra carbon dioxide and plastic can kill it?

the earth's not dying, we are

we could not live without earth, but the whole earth could be happy without us

maybe we should save ourselves, our just go the heck with it and use up everything, i dunno, no animals would care about us

we're on our own

it is weird how dumb and smart we can be at the same time...scary

i really think human kind is going to an end, im not using the term "the end of the world" because, the world is still here, we're not, or at least i think

1st sars, then bird flu, now swain flu, soon, there's gonna be cow flu dog flu cat flu horse flu ant flu and pepper flu, whatever that means

then human would not be able to cure all the flues, and then some zombie Nazi who are also robots would take over the world, for awhile, until we all die from all the flues flying around

then dinosaur like aliens would come, and say "wow, look at how far they've come, too bad they have not invent afniijmw yet"

ok...this is really going too far...

i should really sleep now...and stop playing FREAKING POKEMON!!!!!

wtcrap man...pokemon

its almost = to childhood...almost

LIES!!!!

if this blog were a zombie, it would be a zombie boss, the unkillable zombie master, with non-human super large mussle, bullet-proff skin boned-eyes (whatever what means)

its been dead, alive, dead, alive, dead again, and alive again

so...

thx for "asking" me about my hk trip, and "asking" me for the presents = ="

lol

there r some random cheese PHONEX roll we decided to pick up 5mins before out plane ride back to sg, yup, i still have u in my head XD

argh............................................................................................................goes the pirate =)

hmm...

judging by the usage of computer, my studies are really, flying away = ="

i've been thinking of a few "back up plans/plan b" in case i dont make it to vet, which i would be most likly to be using it...

plan plan plan, and usually things go out of plan, time wasted D=

SHUT UP BRAIN

craps from craper

It's been a while...

is it common that u thought of sth to blog about through out the day and when u finally decided to log in to the blog, u head went empty?

im just gonna type what every that comes to my mind, dont kill me if i dont make sense (it never did in the 1st place)

so, youtube is undergoing this huge redesigning, scary

its becoming sth more like, a site with music, american tv shows and movies (correction needed) and common ppl's videos? just a side feature...

some ppl say "hey! that dosent make youtube youtube anymore! its like, 'they tube' or 'hulu (another site for american tv shows, usa only lol) tube'! "

true, but it ain't their fault that youtube wanna make money, youtube dont excist because of you?! it excist because of money!

do u think they would pay more to put their ads on family guy or your video filmed with a web cam or sth

its not even a question

so.............................................................

have you ever felt so dead tired, all you want to do is to close your eyes

but then, sth kept you from doing it, either the teacher or the computer

and you just hang on, as long as you could, for the sake of happiness (?)

and....

have you ever looked at you phone, no messages....put it away, and u have to check again because you "forgot" if u have messages or miss calls? no? that was my 1st guess anyway =\

games are a time + money sucker, proven so many times yet no body cares

its FUCKING HOT today, can stay out of the fan for more then 1min

maths is boring TO THE CORE.....i still dont get it, SO WHAT IF WE KNOW HOW TO FINE THE VALUE OF THAT FUCKING X? i still cant stay alive with that?!

why must it be x anyway? ain't it confusing? its looks the same as the times sign!

whats wrong with a b and c?! x? why pulg a letter from, not the front, not from the back, but NEARLY the back....wtcrap?

what about p q and r? its so rarely used! have you ever see a t h or k in a math paper?

why must they say "I'll do it when pigs fly!" why pigs? those poor guys got picked on every time! its not because they r heaiver, what about elephants? what about humans? humans dont fly, the ride a thing that flies!

which brings me to, if flies nvr flew, would they be called a walk?

dont you always find that guy is an ass hole? there's always some ass holes around, not being an ass in front of you, but just beside you, poking your wounds....

this world is comfusing as shit, and i came up with sth, question anything, even the most "common" stuff can be questioned, can be wrong

on the more logical side,

english class was crazy, or class is the case study class for some programe thingy

there's these website where teachers and students would post stuff out and do assiments and stuffs online, and these poser programe that looks just like windows messenger live, just lousier

and today some crew came and film us using the site and stuff, mr derick lee (i hope i got the spelling right) and lth ,aka bulldog(its been long since i used this term, i hope i dont get killed) came to "observe"

and just nice, today is the day where everything lags, cant connect and stuff, and they have to redo the whole thing again, good job

which means, more camera and shit....







whoa...




since im so damn tired right now.........






Thy shaly hit the sack =) have fun waking up, servive the day, sleep, and do it all over again =)
