Haiz, had English and E math Mock Exam today. So sian...The English paper was quite tough, but I believe that I would be able to get at least a B4. Maybe. Hopefully. In all likelihood. *ahem* Anyway, the E math paper was kind of easy...Which is good, cuz I spent the whole Friday night gaming. lolz. Aren't I great? :D

After the papers, we took a class photo. Everyone all like don't want to take one...All just stand around. Then the girls started shouting and yelling and everything, and finally the dudes gave up and fell in line. Dear Jun Liang decided to help us take the picture, otherwise we would have a small problem on our hands. Of course, by this time we were supposed to be down at the AVT attending Ms Lam's bio lesson. She got really angry...Or as angry as she could get, which I don't think is a lot...She's quite the nice teacher, really. And she told us that Mr Adam Koo has decided to give us his special training or something to that extent. But it is not finalized yet, so don't go jumping for joy. It might or might not happen. So just cross your fingers, and prey that it does. :P

As of today, I would be talking about stuff from the occult. Here's the first issue of Alvin's Occult Compilation:

Species of Demons, as Described by Alphonse de Spina (1467)
Fates, who alter destiny
Poltergeists, who cause mischief
Incubi and Succubi, who stimulate lust and perversion
Marching Hordes, who bring about war
Familiars, who assist witches
Nightmares, who disturb sleep through bad dreams
Demons formed from Human Semen
Disguised Demons
Demons who Assail the Saintly
Demons who Instigate Witchcraft

(Thanks to http://www.djmcadam.com/)

And here is the quote of the day:

The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad)

Okay, that's it. Been playing Ragnarok Online a lot lately, so if you see me online and talk to me, and I don't type back, don't get insulted or something. :P
See you around.

Another boring day at school...when will this ever end? Can't wait for school to be over...Well, nothing much happened today...Eric spent his entire lessons just trying to get us to understand this really tough question...And I'll be betting that more than half the class still doesn't know what he is talking about. lolz.

Nothing much to talk about...So here is another quote:

Ridcully was to management what King Herod was to the Bethlehem Playgroup Association. His mental approach to it could be visualised as a sort of business flowchart with, at the top, a circle entitled "Me, who does the telling" and, connected below it by a line, a large circle entitled "Everyone else".
-- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent)

Yeah, whatever. Be seeing you.

Hey people! Nothing of much interest happened today...Just like any other Mondays...Oh yeah, Mrs Lam didn't come, but that studpid Mr Lim just had to come over and take over her lessons. Add that to the fact that we ere to have another two periods of Physics later in the day, that makes three periods of Physics in a day! Its so boring...Really feel like sleeping...

Today, we had our audition for our teacher's day celebrations. I wonder how the teams are faring...In any case, all the best to everyone taking part! Just do your best. It does not matter if you are choosing or not, the important thing is to have fun. That sound like something an old person would tell you, doesn't it? I don't know, I find that it is a good philosophy to live by...

BTW, here is something interesting I've read...Hope you like it too:

"The seasons, in fact, teach us two lessons that both steady and chastise: all things must pass, and all things shall return. They tell us that every new beginning brings us closer to an end, and every elegy has withing it the echo (and the promise) of a future celebration. They say that love that seems eternal now may soon be a distant memory; and that a new love may come along to revive our sense of eternity. They teach us that suffering is inevitable, and in that inevitability is a constancy that helps take the edge off suffering. We cherish flowers more than evergreens, precisely because they do not last.

Season instruct us, then. In a subtler way of being; they initiate us into a process more universal than the New Year and more flexible than moons. All of us have our own calendars, and all of us think in terms of spring cleaning or fall fashions, But seasons induct us into a world of divisions that are never hard and fast (soft and slow, rather); they offer lessons about constancy and flux, and show us that there are some things- for all our fears of global warming and a nuclear winter- we cannot much affect. Seasons teach us about transitions, for winter elides into spring as gently as remorse into regret, or adolescence into youth. And just when we assume that winter is gone, an unseasonable blizzard will come down to remind us we were wrong."

There, that's it. Quite a long piece. Those Lit pupils should be able to understand it better, I suppose. Anyway, its time for the quote of the day:

People have believed for hundreds of years that newts in a well mean that the water's fresh and drinkable, and in all that time never asked themselves whether the newts got out to go to the lavatory.
-- (Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man)

lolz. Nothing to type anymore. Till next time.

Its been quite some time since I've last posted...Mostly I was too lazy or just too darn tired. Haiz...A lot of thing have happened during the past week...I would rather not say anything about it,  else certain people might feel insulted...

Because of those events, Amie has beening feeling down in the dumps lately. How i wish that I have the guts to just talk to her...she looks so sad...So very different from her usual happy, shouting self. Glad to hear to she's gotten over it...I mean, she a great friend and all, always there when you need her...I just wish that we could be there when she needs us...

Anyway, I've came across a great song. It's by Steps and its called "It's the way you make me feel." here are the lyrics

It's the thing that you do
So physical
It's the thing that you say
So flammable
You know I can't resist
Boy it's such a shame
Do you belong to another
I don't wanna hurt nobody
but my heart just can't hold back
It's the way you make me feel
(Make me feel , make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
I'm going to make you mine
It's not impossible
Got to let you know
I'm irresistible
Baby can't you see
You're the one for me
But you belong to another
I don't wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can't hold back
It's the way you make me feel
[ The way you make me feel ]
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
(Make me feel , make me feel)
(Make me feel , make me feel)
When I look into your eyes
Everytime you smile at me
Oh I go weak inside
Baby I just can't hide my love
It's the way you make me feel
[ The way you make me feel ]
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
(Make me feel , make me feel)
(Make me feel , make me feel)
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
It's the way you make me feel

I will try to get the song up on my site...Yeah, that's about all. Bye.

Ah...Appearently, Blogger has decided to add a few new functions to, as it were, Blogger. We are now able to upload pictures, use coloured text, add bullets, blah blah blah, and what have you.  I expect to see more stuff from Blogger...it could very well have a bright future in the web industry.
 
Well, we had our Social Studies and Chemistry Mock Exam today. I should be able to pass my SS paper, and i hope to be able to score at least 30+ in my Chem paper. Right...Renee and Jon  didn't come to school today...wonder what's wrong with them? To miss out on such an important thing...Moreover, Renee said that she would be coming...Haiz, don't know them lah. lolz.
 
Right, I've forgotten talk about a very important/humourous event that happened on Wednesday.  I was clearing out the bin as usual after class. The sun was shining down on me, the wind playing its little games with my hair, the birds were singing and flying gracefully in the air...In short, it was a perfect day! What was not perfect was that Victor and Jon Cho was having a blaw outside the class.  Its the fight of the year! Jon has Victor in a deathgrip. Blam! Pow! Try as he might, Victor is unable to break free from the Ramboesque hold that Jon was using. "No way out," Victor thought."Looks like I would have to use my ultimate move - Hiten Mitsurugi Style, The Dragon's Rages!" And with that, he unleashed the innate power inside his body, and spun around in the air, causing his foot to move at exactly the right speed, occupy exactly postition in time and space, and processing exactly the right amount of force to bring the foot into sharp contect with the bin in my hand, thereby causing it to fly up into the air, spin around twice and land onto of Brenden's head. Right. *ahem* So, of course, Brenden was covered with dirt and drenched with the unknow liquid present in the bin. And of course Brenden went to the toliet to get cleaned up, and he got his shirt wetter than it already was in the process of getting it cleaned. Right. As it were. This whole event has nothing to do with me. lolz. Just doing my duty ~ keeping the class clean.  *ahem* :P
 
Ok, so now its time for the quote of the day:
 
They say the heat and the flies here can drive a man insane. But you don't have to believe that, and nor does that bright mauve elephant that just cycled past.

-- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent)
 
All that's all. Till next time.
 
 

And another year has passed for Alvin, Sacker of Cities, The Final Grave of Hope. I'm one year older, in all likelihood wiser, and maybe smarter. Many people in class wished me a happy birthday...That really made my day, though i could have died under all the embarrassment. Love F4/2 lots.

It was another boring schoolday, daydreamed though everything...I wonder how I've managed to even get back home...lolz. During A Math lesson I was drawing away, not following the lesson. lolz.

Oh right...Yesterday, Mr Adam Khoo came to talk to us. He's a great guy, really animated and humourous...But I think that he is trying too hard, as if you listen carefully, you can hear that he is straining his voice. :P Oh well, since he is paid to do that, i suppose that it is alright. Hmmm, learnt quite a lot from that talk...

Anyway, here's another quote:

This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts..."

-- (Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)

Don't have anything much to write anyway. Signing off now.

Ah, I was too tired to blog last night so here I am! We had our school musical yesterday. Its not bad, considering that this is the cast's first musical. The band played well, the cast show high levels of professionalism ( at least they didn't laugh when it came to a hugging scene), and the vocalist did an outstanding job. Who would have thought that GM would be able to come up with something like this? Certainly not me. :P

As for the people there, most of them were well behaved, except of a few lowlifes who kept talking during the show. I wouldn't have minded them, but they were not even making the effort to whisper. Of course, I would not take this lying down, so I hit them on the elbow and told them to shut up. That got did the trick. Finally we, the superior beings that we are, could enjoy the show in peace without the interference of sub-humans. :D

The guys told me to meet them at Raffles MRT at 5:15. So I got there at 5:15. The dudes were not there yet, or so I thought. Okay, that's alright. I could wait. And so I waited. And waited. And waited some more. The dudes still did not turn up. Eventually, I got tired of waiting, so I went over to the VCH myself. They weren't there too. lolz. To make a long story short, I've waited 2 hours in all before I've finally found them ( or your could say that it was the other way round. They found me.) And I've finally met the must esteemed cousin of Amie. She's one hot chick, I'd say. And Amie looked downright stunning that night. Its amazing what enough makeup can do to change one's image. And I've seen Jes and Amie's so-called boyfriend. *laughs* All in all, I've had a great time.

Now for the events of today. Nothing much happened, but Xin Yu, Zhao Qi and I went over to TM to buy a birthday present for yours truly and Zhao Qi. After which we took a trip over the E-Zone and had a gala time blasting away at the first person shooter games. Had a lot of fun.

And now, for the quote of the day! Here goes:

Supposing an emperor was persuaded to wear a new suit of clothes whose material was so fine that, to the common eye, the clothes weren't there. And suppose a little boy pointed out this fact in a loud, clear voice...

Then you have The Story of the Emperor Who Had No Clothes.

But if you knew a bit more, it would be The Story of the Boy Who Got a Well-Deserved Thrashing From his Dad for Being Rude to Royalty, and Was Locked Up.

Or The Story of the Whole Crowd Who Were Rounded up by Guards and Told "This Didn't Happen, OK? Does Anyone Want to Argue?"

Or it could be a story of how a whole kingdom suddenly saw the benefits of the 'new clothes', and developed an enthusiasm for healthy sports* in a lively and refreshing atmosphere which got many new adherents every year, and led to a recession caused by the collapse of the conventional clothing industry.

It could even be a story about The Great Pneumonia Epidemic of '09.

It all depends on how much you know.

-- (Terry Pratchett, Thief Of Time)

All right, so this is quite long for a quote, but it sure is funny. I don't know about you, but i find it funny. lolz. Oh well, till next time.

*Mostly involving big, big beachballs.

Another day has come and gone! And now we are one day older. One day wiser. One day less to live. How I wish that we would never have to grow old. But, you know the old saying: If wishes were fish, there would be no room for the water.

It was another productive day at Alvinville! First, i wasted the entire E Math lesson away by doing what I do best - slacking and daydreaming! For Chinese today, we went down to the AVT to watch this old movie that's even more long winded than all those Taiwanese sitcoms that you see on TV. Almost feel asleep watching it. Borriinngggg......But it has its nice points. It prevents the teachers from really giving us a proper Chinese lesson, and we get to watch a movie! Abiet a boring one, but a movie nevertheless. :P

Took my Chem test today too. Passing shouldn't be a problem, but scoring well is another thing all together. lolz Man, I've should have studied harder......Been slacking too much liao. lolz. BTW, Rice Matters is tml! I wonder how good - or bad- it would be. Just can't wait for tml.

Anyway, here is another quote:

Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills.

-- (Terry Pratchett, Pyramids)

In case you are wondering, the Marie Celeste is a 1870 ship which was found drifting about in the sea without a crew. What made this more than a simple abandoning of ship was that there was no sind of any struggle on board. This was no waterlogged, derelict ship. Its sails were set and its timbers were undamaged. As far as the eye can tell, there was nothing wrong with the ship. The cargo, supplies, and personal belongings were still on the Marie Celeste. Evidence aboard showed that the Marie Celeste had clearly been abandoned quickly. The last entry in the ship’s log gave no clue or indication that anything was wrong, neither was there any cause for concern. The only items missing were the chronometer and sextant. Till today, no one knows what really happened on that ship.

Ha, nothing to write liao. Till next time.

We had chapel today! We had this band jumping around on stage singing songs as usual, nothing special, but what is special is that RCC waved his hands about when told to do so like a little girl! The sight alone caused many of us to break out in peals of laughter.

Nothing much happened today. Mrs Loh didn't come to school, something which I've never remembered her doing. There's a first time for everything, I guess. :P Arrgghh, I've spent all my money on mangas. Don't have any money now. Oh dear. lolz. I just wish that there can be a free web hosting service with an unlimited data transfer rate. But oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

Anyway, here's another quote:

"Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'."

-- Rincewind discussing Twoflower (Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic)

Till next time.

Ah, finally got the music thing going on. It is Streamside, from RO......now all i have to do is find out how to loop it...if anyone knows, please inform me. Thanks!! :D And i would have to find a way to get the music at Amie's blog going...Don't know what's wrong, i seem to have done everything right, yet i don't seem to be hearing anything. Ahhh, well. Will work on it. Ciao.

My friends and I went to watch Spiderman 2 today!!! Its a great show! Really! No kidding. You just have to watch it. Harry is as usual obsessed with taking revenge on Spider-Man, Mary Jane is engaged to some guy, and Peter Parker's confused over what he should do with his life, thereby causing him to......I mustn't say, it would spoilt the movie. :P I can't wait for the 3rd movie to come out sometime in 2007. Got to watch the Garfield movie too. lolz.

I also had my Chinese O Level Listening Compre today! I'm guessing that i should be able to get at least 16 to 20, if i'm lucky. :D HA, now my chinese O lvl is completely over! YAH!!! BAAWWHAHAHAHHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! *cough* *cough* Ahem, excuse me. All of you would still have to sit through days of painful waiting and worry about if you would be able to make the grade while I don't have to! BAAHAHAHAHHAA! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Okay, now that the evil side of me has had its fun, here's the quote of the day:

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

-- (Terry Pratchett, The Truth)

Okay, that's it! Be seeing you.

I had my O lvl Chinese Oral today!!! Did quite badly, i think, didn't know how to read lots of words and i've skipped by as many as three words at a time. lolz. But i think that i should be able to pass, albiet getting marks like 15,16......you get the idea. :D BTW, i'm taking my Chinese O lvl listening compre tomorrow. I hope to get around 16,18, 20. Wish me luck! :P

AHH, don't have much to say, so i'll just give you another quote:

"I know about people who talk about suffering for the common good. It's never bloody them! When you hear a man shouting "Forward, brave comrades!" you'll see he's the one behind the bloody big rock and the one wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet!"

-- Rincewind gives a speech on politics. (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)

Again, this is quite true. You see it happening all throughout history, exspically in wars where the USA is involved. The guy at the top is always at the rear where he is safe from everything while the footsoldiers are at the front getting shot, stabbed, cut, crushed, burnt, blown to bits, posioned and what have you. And in wars nowadays, the soldiers have to obey the guys above them even though the overmentioned people are totally useless. And at the end of everything, it is those same morons who gets all the glory and honour and medals and Purple Hearts and what not. All this while the people who risked their lives get hurt - even dead! - and they don't get much of anything unless they get wounded, in which case they just get a worthless Purple Heart! Those guys've lost arms and limbs and watch they friends die just to protect their country and the people living there, and when they come back, they get looked down on and spat at by the very people they've laid down their lives for. And this is because the bloody civilians are trying to get the war to stop but they have no idea what goes on in the fields of fire.

Haiz, those poor soldiers...lets now have a moment of slience for the warriors who have fought and have fallen in battle.....

Well, i've sure typed a whole bunch of stuff without intending to. lolz. Yeah whatever. See you around.
