Phases.
was doing that inane thing by looking through my archives.
it seems as though beginning of this blog
i was quite a wannabe
and then
we lost our last match of the year
and then
i had that abstain from brandy period
and then
for some reason or another
i just closed up completely in isolation. (e.g. most favoured nation clause)
and then
i met kevyn and went a bit high
boy i miss the O's cuz of those times we shared.
and now
i dont know what i am.
maybe its just the kind of thing one goes through in new surroundings.
anyways
i plucked this out to remind myself of the stupid things i used to post here pre-Olvl era -
Chinese.
i think i deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for my good act today.
today was the official start of the Olvl written papers, and i couldnt have begun it better.
today, approximately 15 minutes before the exam, i scooted up to calss to get my dictionary. horrors of horrors, it was locked.
i decided to gallantly follow the example of dwayne and walk in independant from the thick compilation of chinese words.
that turned out to be a mistake.
i couldnt understand a single word in paper 1, i mistook hotel for coffee shop and even with that interpretation, couldnt find any way to smoke around such a stupade topic. (yes, stupade, no typo.) or at least, not in chinese.
i looked at my confirmation slip and realised that the next paper was at 2.
hell no, i was not about to waste my afternoon in school.
i made my descision there and then.
i regurgitated all my content knowledge of venice, merger, NI and the swiss on the small uestion paper provided.
i grew tired of that and decided to let my soul rest on the snooze-designed table in the hall. i must have shocked Mrs Chung. i woke up thinking of how low the table was and day-dreams drifted to the policy on palliative care.
i realised i was getting a stare by most invidulators around my area and decided to make my hand look busy. i experimented drawing an equalateral triangle in a square. the requirements was for the triagle to touch the sides of the square. yeah, stupid, i know. btw, i figured the easiest way to do sa was to make one side of the triangle parrallel to one side of the square such it is 2-root 3 units apart. the opposite point will be midpoint of the opposite side, the angle formed there will be 3pie rad.
i went home after that, never to re-appear for the paper 2.
so, why do i deserve the prize?
1. i didnt bother major's peaceful slumber to get my dictionary.
2. i didnt start flipping my table after realizing i couldnt even understand the question like most lunatics would. instead, i kept my composure and put my time to good use. imagine the chaos i should have caused. i, contrary to normal human reactions, prevented that.
3. i slept. that's peaceful enough.
4. i re-assured Mrs Chung that i was ok with failing this paper because my grade in JC was valid.
5. i skipped paper 2 as a pre-emptive action to safegaurd the possibility of the flipping tables effect.
ha, so there's the 5 reasons to why i deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. (i think i spelt it wrongly, but, ah, if you want to be nominated, keep the peace and keep all hush about it.)
-
E math paper 1.
the title makes me want to curse and swear.
ugh.
its deppressing.
i cant believe how simple it was
and yet
and yet
i can do this badly.
4 marks, gone.
4 marks is a total of 5%!!!
that's huge, considering paper 1's purpose is to score full marks.
and i dont even know if i might lose more than that, though its unlikely.
4 marks.
4 seems to be a bad number.
4 more years
4 marks lost
today was 4th Nov.
arghh
btw, you dont really suppose i dont know what a vector is right?
lets see,
1st mark - Trapezium. the ruler method will get you 5 and the protractor method, 5.5. and 5.5 is definately more accurate.
2nd mark - x. i forgot to reflex my angle before using the circumference and centre rule. whatever.
3rd mark - mean. somehow i thought the average of 8 and 16 was 10.
4th mark - i found the wrong person's speed. i happily went along drawing the tangent to the curve and got this perfect line. Ali's speed was 190m/min. but nooooo, i was supposed to find bala's, and it was a straight line, so duh the answer is zero. that simple. -screams and pulls hair-
this is O level. oh no. and they say A1 might be as high as 90 this year.
gasp.
90? that means i must get at least 87 for paper 2. 87?!?
its possible, but whats the likely hood of someone who can never get names right to get 87?
87?
ok. ok. ok.
there's still hope.
if A1 is 80 (which it wont) i can still get 77. that sounds alot more soothing. 77.
but the world knows that 77's not enough!

[the story behind your email address] a nickname given with a pretext that was used by a clsoe friend.
[where do you live?] bishan, dont all cherished ppl. (oops, thats a pun)

[wallet] blue and grey. typical quicksilver type overflowing with repciepts and unecessary info. it serves its purpose.
[favourite shirt] white formal. has a lot of sentimental value and looks smart casual. i do try not to over-wear it.
[piercing] currently closed up and waiting for the next opportunity.
[hair] chinese black, long and fluctuating partings dependant on my mood. about to undergo a genocide of haircells soon.
[makeup] genetic makeup? i cant be wearing foundation right?
[something you're looking forward to in the upcoming months] ironically both the alpha and omega of Olvls for different reasons. DEP, Eden, EOY camp... alchohol(gotta read the article on that first)
[something that you are deathly afraid of] rejection.
[do you believe in love] love is what makes the world goes round baby.
[do you believe in forgiveness] definately. but to forget is another challeng by itself.
[where are 3 places you wouldn't mind relocating to] back home to Canada, France, Wales (due to the implications behind it more than the place itself) and the fantasies of my dreams. (does VJ count?)
[favorite foods?] i want to eat wendy clark!! i've got this thing for fruits.
[is there something you wish you could understand better] practically everything. understanding is power.
[my father thinks i am] his son.
[my mother thinks i am] a good listener.
[my siblings think i am] someone whom they (or 'he' for the matter) can yell at without me retalliating.
[best qualities] for me to say, it'd be hubristic.
[worst qualities] not being able to think of one? nah, discipline?
[i get embarrassed when] i speak without thinking.
[what makes me happy] people in general. them being happy as well as thier company. to love and to be loved.
[upsets me] i dont think i can sumarise that.
YES OR NO
[you like to cook] up weird yet logical excuses.
[you have a secret you have not shared with anyone] that i dont have one? nah, it wldn be possible.
[others find you attractive] i dont have any documents to certify anything of that sort. actually, plastic surgeons now have a formula of proportion that can measure beauty.
[you drink] alchohol? haha. only some will understand that. and maybe those who read the prev. post.
[you like roller coasters] when i was kid. actually, it kinda overlaps with the question on food.
[you write in cursive or print] scribbles.
[you carry a donor card] i would have donated it.
[lied to someone] i think i told my primrary school principle that his school was the best.
[ever been in a fist fight] against the game consoles, yes.
[ever been arrested] for hijaking a cab in sim city.
LAST
[song you listened to] Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis.
[person you've called] it shld be marque. i just realized how little ppl i contact nowadays.
[person that called you] probably mother nature.
[person u sms] if msn counts, than it was kevyn and marque. we were suppose to discuss VJ open house, but as usual, we digressed into non-associated issues like the Stercus Tauri or fac ut viva.
[TV show you've watched] some advertisement.
[thing you were thinking about] the above question. before that, i was thinking about certain hints by certain ppl.
WHAT...
[shampoo do you use] newskin, lux or head and shoulders depending on how my hair feels.
[what do you notice first in a guy/girl] the fact that their looking at me? eyes.
WHO...
[makes you laugh the most] there's an increasing number of wheelchair-bound individuals in society. everyone makes everyone laugh.
[has a crush on you] bryan could crush me with his sheer weight.
[last time you were totally free] the word seems foriegn to me.
[whats your favourite colour] evidently the colour of this font.
[what are you planning to do tomorrow] either watch the presidential debates, skip school and regret; or go school, waste time and regret.
[wat u want to get from ur girl/boy] i dont have children.
[what u want to be when you grow up] honsetly, i dont want to grow up just yet. job description wise, i was thinking Law or journalism. motivational speaking seems somewhat attractive too.
[what you do when you miss someone] occupy myself as a form of distraction. at other times, i'd take a walk and live in the past for 30mins. given possibilities, i'd just go look up the person. duh.
[what are you doing now] Doing a survey?
-
like quan han said today, the solution to the world's problem of poverty is to feed the homeless to the hungry.
-
OK. that sounds like something vaguely from a self-help book. but you get the point.
we can live without air-con, mp3s, and we dont need an equation to tell us things fall to the ground when we throw them up.
what we do need to learn is how to spot questions.
in the arts, we learn to study a teacher's actions and infer upon the source through the minor idiosyncracies the next test's questions. that's called life skills
-
some things that need to be said cannot be publushed here.
but they are said where they can be said and where they need to be said.
instead, thanks to msn and hotmail, there's alot more to be said than i can type.
and because i cant, i wont.
ha.

this is the waste of time.
it ends here.
