Subside

Hooray for my subsiding fever! The muscle aches stubbornly remain though. Tsk.

The first thing that caught my eye this morning was the news.

" OMG, another NSF lost his life? "

This year has seen more than one such passing, involving NSmen. Are NSmen getting physically weaker, or is this the result of not declaring one's past medical conditions? Blog more about it, soon!

Oh yeah, i'll be heading down to Bishan today for my first Econs tuition! Rock n' roll hooo!

See you guys later(or tonight)!

I'm terribly sick

grabbed from twilight-runs.

I'm down with a fever, along with the muscle and joint aches that come with it. They've stuck around for 2 whole days, and i took many naps, in the hope that they will somehow disappear when i wake up.

I'm sorry if i do not blog as often, i have to recover asap so that revision for the BIG A's can resume.

Some posts i've to catch up on :

1. The Nike+ Human Race

2. Visit to JE Swimming Complex

If i have time, those above will be up(if i'm feeling well, too). 

Deepest apologies!

Failure

Failure hits hard. Especially when you see people around you doing much better than you.

My results are a fucking joke. If you need a good laugh, come ask me for them.

I'm grateful for the encouragement and all, but i believe both you and i know the kind of hot soup that i'm in right now. Nonetheless, thanks people.

Am i ever good at anything? All the effort i've put into practising papers and studying notes, still boils down to nothing. NOTHING. Everything is equally horrible. Even my favourite subject. Can i please have at least a set of good results to be happy for? Sigh.

I'm depressed. Really depressed. Never felt this down before, ever.

The Great Depression

I tried my best, i studied. I didn't want history to repeat itself. I hoped to prove to certain people that i can at the very least, achieve something.

Yet, i somehow manage to hit rock-bottom everytime. I don't understand. All that effort should at least reap better results than these. Sigh. Depression is setting in.

Am i stupid or what?

I live opposite a Knife-Thrower

This was supposed to be up yesterday, blame it on procrastination.

Started the Tuesday with some instant noodles, curry-flavoured. I was too lazy to go over to my grandmother's for a meal, so yeah.



Then came my daily ritual of downing some honey! It's actually something i like to take, so i don't mind although my mum always reminds me.

The weather's been really hot and it becomes uncomfortable studying at home, so i arranged with Gee to go down to the the condo's under-utilised study room and STUDY. Everything went well until these group of sec sch students came in. Mind you, there were 8 of them(if i counted correctly).

Weird place for a class outing, i know. They brought snacks and settled down to "study" in that room which had less than 6 chairs(with me and gee already occupying 2). Maybe they ingeniously sat on each other's lap. Did i mention there were girls too?

Okay so we got used to studying amidst the chatter and random noises from the group. After about 2 hours or so, we took a break and went to jalan jalan outside.

And we saw this.



We were "OMGWTF how the shit did that get there?!", since no one else was around.

Then, we looked around for other possibilities to this strange sight.


(Most) Possible Trajectories of the Knife.

Bingo. A fair amount of discussion concluded that it had most probably been thrown from the opposite condo!

(Possible)Reasons being:

- A wife walked up on her husband making love to their maid, so she grabbed a knife and threw it at him, only to miss. The knife flew out the window at the opposite condo and landed itself in the tree at my condo. Refer to above.

- An airplane flying overhead didn't have its cargo hold secured safely and leaked its contents. One of them, a knife, fell through the sky and by sheer amount of luck, got itself stuck on this tree at my condo.

- An idiot using the knife to try to chop down the tree, instead of a regular chainsaw. The knife got stuck. The idiot gave up and left.

- A murderer killed someone and stuck the knife on the tree, bending down to tie his undone shoelaces. He left without taking the knife with him, forgetting the fact that he placed it there.

- The tree grows knives.

The most probable one being the first, after much debate.

Ninja...Cat?!

We've all seen ninjas, in manga like Naruto, in games like Ninja Gaiden. But have you seen a ninja cat?!

Pure amazement.

I'll blog more either tonight, or tomorrow evening. Got 2 papers to rush for, GOODBYE!

Hacked?

I almost caused my layout page on blogger to crash just by fiddling about with the html. A moment ago my Cbox was fused with my Plurk box -.-

But, everything's sorted out nice and tidy already, so no worries!

Was looking through my feeds when i saw this:

" Large Hadron Collider kena hack "


It's in Greek, so don't bother.

Indeed it got hacked. And boy, did it cause quite a stir at CERN. The hackers left an identity - "Group 2600 of the Greek Security Team".

Apparently, they didn't cause any disruption or damage to the system at all. So what's the point of hacking? Well, according to them, to show that it was hackable.

Woah. Imagine those hackers in full-control of the entire supercollider. Increasing the chances that a singularity is created or that the earth turns to strange matter, is not a comforting thought.

The hackers had made their point. They revealed the vulnerabilities of the system by hacking into it. My guess is that they wanted to be a deterrent to the scientists that were bent on carrying out the experiment. The full scoop, here.
