Drained

i'm feeling worn out, even though i've done nothing much on this particular Sunday.

I have to prepare my GP file for Mr Hsu's checking tomorrow, thus why i couldn't meet up with my primary school friends. Next week guys!

Yesterday was quite a day, spent with Valerian at Bugis. Shall update more later.

Check this space soon, tonight.

Scraps


Barbie Gone Terribly Wrong

(Laughs) Got this at Cowboy Caleb's.

I was blog-hopping and i came to Mr Brown. There's been another episode of "the WTF! show". He checks out the all-new Razer Pro-Type Keyboard. Everything, below.



"... We feel that because of this ah-beng blue light, that glows, it is the best keyboard in the world."

really WTF!?


I, crack the laws of physics

Physics practical was interesting today. For some reason, my percentage uncertainty of Planck's Constant was off the charts. As you can see, i got 1099547411 % of error. That's near 1.1 billion percentage error. It's not even supposed to cross 100 %!

SPC was sick today, 38 degrees. He rested in the sick bay before heading home in a cab. The taxi's sponsored by Miss Sim, she's so nice! Take care man, get well soon!

Revision lectures have resulted in a late day, everyday, for the year twos. 6pm's about the average time i reach home. Fatigue, fatigue.


Daily Commute

My retainers have been on for a month plus now, time to tighten those wires soon!

Goodbye!

Pathway through rain


It rained after school. For the unbearable hot weather nowadays, it was certainly refreshing. But that meant a walk in the rain on my journey home. A long walk(those who've been to my place, you know).

Quite some time since i've been caught in a downpour. Plus TJ uniform is kinda thick and makes you feel all stuffy inside, so i was lucky enough to be wearing polo today.

I wasn't alone on the path home. A dhs girl(nope, i don't know her), and a pasir ris crest sec sch boy were alongside. All of us kena soaked, man. My chem file was no exception(poor notes).

School was like any other Tuesday. PCME & GP tutorials took up a huge chunk. We attended the protected timeslot for Math, to allow the lecturer to finish going through the answers for JCTs. Mysteriously, headcount in LT1 seems to have diminished since the last lecture.

Again, many fell under fatigue.


" I told you Math makes a good sleeping pill! "

SPC and i bought laser pointers in school, at a mere 5.50 bucks! Last time i saw one of those things at the mall, they cost 23 dollars. It's a pen/pointer/LED as well. Now we'll have something to fool around with when we experience insomnia. Neighbours beware (:


Seemingly harmless looking


Ooh, lovely


Poor attempt to make the beam visible(thank you talcum powder!)

It emits red light, much to our disappointment. Green would be nice.

I've always had a fascination with lasers, but the above can't do much. It's peanuts compared to the ones i'm going to show you.

Wicked Lasers. They're military grade. They're THE weapons of mass destruction compared to the one i have.


Imagine the possibilities. ( Hehe )

The official site, here.

I need more seasoning for my blades, they're still causing blisters. Skating, anyone? I'm serious, if you want to rollerblade or something, call me along! I'd be glad to (:

Okay now its dinner time, goodbye!

Enjoy Youth Day, youths! (while you can)



Happy Youth Day, youths!

Today 05/07 had a class outing at East Coast Park. 11 people turned up. Fun (:

Started the day off by meeting Sam at Yakun, Whitesands. The bread was shiok. So were the half-boiled eggs. Hurried down to Bedok to meet the rest.

Saw shaza, cherylnn, teck, shanzhi, hanyang, zhihao, suzanne at the control station. We went to meet serena at the interchange(and take 196).

We got our bikes/skates at Ki Runners(they really do stock up on their bikes). Headed towards the Changi side, with me, sam and shaza skating, serena running, and the rest cycling. It didn't stay that way for long. Soon shaza's pair of skates went around among the girls, and teck had a shot at sam's pair. Me? I just prefer skating to cycling.


Graffiti (thats Zhihao in front)

Along the way, i saw this entire wall(or rather, metal sheets) of graffiti. I had no idea who was at hand, but they certainly look nice.


Pit stop

We had a few breaks here and there, at the breakwater even. The sea breeze was enough to make you sleep standing up. Harsh weather nowadays.

Risky Business

We met SPC on 196 and had Pastamania for lunch afterwards. It wasn't long before everyone separated and left for home. Tiring, but enjoyable workout.



Since i'm on the topic of skates, i brought mine along today to give it some seasoning. I got the pair for a good bargain(last Sunday). They were originally priced at $366 SGD. But, RollerBlade(the brand) had their 50 percent off sale, and so, luck was on my side. $183 SGD was more than worth it for an above-average pair of skates.


Rollerblade Crossfire TFS Skates Mens 07

The stats(there's a whole list, but i'll just list out the main ones)

Bearings: SG-7 (I'm satisfied enough with an ABEC 5, but this was a pleasant surprise)
Wheels: Rollerblade Lite Standard Hub 82mm 82A Wheels (just nice)
Design: See above.
Frame: Aluminum ALU-Tech Frames - Max Wheel Size 84mm (Seemed better than Composite ones)
Laces & Buckles: TFS Power Lace and Ratcheting Buckle Closure (no more lace-tying)

Diablo 3 has revived the Diablo fan in me, i've started on D2 again! But i'm not fighting alone. Leon, Sam and SPC are my regular playmates. It doesn't get any more fun than this. We're coming, Diablo (:




No screenshots(the above isn't one), due to D2 running in low-colour mode. Screenshots turn out with poor definition and colour. What a pity.

I shan't play too much though, there's work to be done, after my appalling results in the JCTs. I'm off to complete some Math tutorials, goodbye.

Independence Day


Not THAT Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July, Americans!

"In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain."

Yup, certainly no alien invasions today.

It's a (long)Thursday!

Happy Birthday Aunty Pauline!
Happy Birthday Dianne(don't get drunk)!


Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo

Came across this on Cowboy Caleb's. I love the background soundtrack. The video shows him(Matt) dancing in various places around the world, some with the locals even. Yes, it's not the best of dances, but watching the video made me smile, it kinda brings the different people of the world together. Unity! Go watch it. There has to be at least 50 places in there(Yes, Singapore too). (Faster loading time, turn HD off)

My face produces something which i think can help to solve the global oil crisis. It's 142 a barrel now, thats really sky-high. Maybe i can help to reduce the price (:

Yes, my face is OILY. The JCTs have been the culprit for my pimple outbreaks, and the resulting acne. Even sleeping can be painful(i face the ceiling). It's starting to get better now, and hopefully it disappears in the near future. Hopefully.


Sam, Qinkai ( Ze Ghey ), SPC

One of the longest thursdays ever. GP lesson(above) had us discussing about this pregnant man. Yes, pregnant MAN. He's of transgender, and he has a wife. Best surprise of all? He's DUE TODAY, 3rd July 2008. More about it, here.


The Ghey, consumed by fatigue

An hour of econs revision lecture was scheduled at 4.40pm. LT1 was packed, but by midway, many had fallen to fatigue. What to do? Some were half-dead by that time of day.

I bought my new skates, and at a good bargain too. Overall, satisfied. Shall say more about them in the next post.

For now, it's tutorials galore! Have got to complete some chem and math by tomorrow. After that, piano time!

Okay i'm off, goodbye.

Why



I think i'm really stupid.

Nothing affirms the fact more than my results.
