blogger’s recover post function sucks ****. i think i shall post using m word first in the future. at least their auto-recover is REAL. since my house has been having an eerie series of power trips.

so, before i was so rudely interrupted by power trip, i was commenting on how it isn’t common that you get to listen to 2 scripted and totally ironic speeches in one day.

so in the morning, we listened to Thomas (2J)’s apology. acherly i’ve heard something about it, only i expected it to be a Ms Lim Si Hui scolding Thomas in class kind of thing. then we went to LT3, and.

Thomas went all “I’m very sorry, I’m wrong, I finally realize that whatever the teachers do is for our own good cos they care for us.” yup, perfectly what he would say. what? i said something like “that was totally scripted and dictated verbatim by the teachers”? rubbish. nonsense. schizo.

i think i’m going crazy. i just keep laughing during lessontime. it started in comp studies, after Ms Aileen Chor took over the class. then today in math i laughed too much. boom. got owned by The Teacher of Name of Variable Length, Mr Jeeee! so me and Abel had to stack up tables and chairs but the whole class helped anyway. except YH, who

1. ran up to me and shouted “HAHA JACK GOT PUNISHED, loser lol.”
2. when everyone was helping hovered around me and kept saying, “Good job! Keep up the good work! Go man! Do it first and do it right!”
3. sang ZW rhapsody.

then Mr Je released us and we went for the super ultra rare holo RE Final! which was meant to release us only 55 min later, but ended up releasing us 1.5 hours late. then in the end Luwei’s rush-product-in-1-week group won. and they won cool plastic trophies. which totally didn’t look like plastic.

i went for a leisurely lunch after that and went for polo half hour late. good thing i went – the balls are finally here! whee! such a cool ball. shall try to smuggle to public pools and play. um, play with myself. like pass here pass there.

this is yesterday’s post. blogger was down. or took damn long to publish at least.

according to nige, i have to post to get more tags!

yay, my previous controversial post netted me some tags. i rule!

mov was quite good. i think we owned the other 2 classes. apparently 2M was a last minute job. but every other blog is going to talk about that, so.

the prefect voting thingy (parrrrdon my england) was today! i’d been too busy to interview moses soh before this. nehmind. i shall still carry on with molim!

tactics: be retarded, then get pissed at soh’s comment and start threatening him, saying my bro’s a gangster who everyone in Boon Lay knows. why Boon Lay? dunno. must pick a “territory” what. and remember the maplestory megaphone war thing i posted? i will make explicit references to Mr. Phil’o and my bro beating up 5 grown men and having gone to Boys Home half his life.

meanwhile, i’ve touched a DS Lite! with gentle caress and lusting eyes. it’s all kenneth goh’s freeeeeaking fault. i have been saving for over a month now. then suddenly kg says his cca teacher, Mr Sam Seah bought a DS Lite, turned it on, found ONE SINGLE DEAD PIXEL (as in there will forever be this blank pixel. emphasis on NO-ONE-CAN-BARELY-SEE-ONE-SMALL pixel.), and turned it off. then he decided to buy a new DS Lite and sell kg a DS Lite for $68. which is one quarter of the price.

honestly! if i had i would have been sitting down playing new mario smash bros DS already! not blogging my (insert very fake beep sound a la our mov play) blog.

if you’ve never seen, let alone touched, a DS Lite. it looks like something Apple would produce. sleek, white… there’s even a filler cartridge in front so that when you don’t have any cartridges in, the smoothness is preserved. then the stylus is fatter than the original DS’s one. and the buttons are soft and “spongy” not those hard ones. it’s smaller than a PSP (cos of clamshell) and looks much nicer too! (really, nige.) for half the price, you can use a touchscreen and play exclusive pokemon/mario games! whee.

haha chester says he downloads prawn from limewire. (“prawn” is somewhat less obvious.) and he fantasises about the chinese teacher! apparently he hugged the teacher with some excuse. then wr said the chinese teacher blushed. when chester heard that he smirked and said “woah, i have an effect on her…” HAHA

so. “the mensa thingy.” (mensa is so crapped up. the only stuff good about it are these meetings cos there’s free flow of drinks and occasional food!)

i went there, and was stoning around. then there was this girl who sat down cos there were no other tables. (this place is so small.) yah, so for 2 and a half hours we just played the many board games. then i asked for her name (which was rather unique. the name i mean.) and her school etc etc.

then i went home, and i googled her name. totally for fun. and since her name was rather unique, i found out her surname and she was part of this 1st place team in a robotics competition! wow.

yes. this will all tide over in a few days time. cos i’ll probably never see her again. just wished i coulda asked for her MAPLESTORY username. she’s lvl 94! wts. chief bandit or something. i’ll probably even give the stupid game a try again.
–GAME OVER [Try again? 3.2.1.0. INSERT COIN]–

hax0r! tmr is the play production act drama. and i’m going to watch our class get owned, safely in the seats!

wait. i have a part in this thing. (loses head and runs off, shrieking some weird thing about being a lonely snowflake)

a few things.

firstly, the jury is still out (i love cliches) on how the comp studies teachers have improved in the games warfare. they actually can monitor what every single workstation is doing and ban stuff!

during recess today, i thought of playing, um, neopets, since they had already banned the more popular games (they even banned kol! lol! i guess the name sounds game-ish) then abel was like “i’m quite sure neopets is banned alr, since it’s like a household name.”

but it remained safely unbanned. so i logged in, clicked a few links then suddenly the screen turned blank. wts! they banned it but for some reason i escaped any punishment. heh.
–

secondly, i feel only utter empathy for the younglings of today! what happen to 4 million smiles?

i was eating in tanglin mall (which is unfairly overpriced, more about that later) then i saw this family, one mother and 2 daughters, finish eating. then the mother received a text message.

mo to younger daughter: the tuition teacher say you didn’t do some of the work, and that you don’t know what’s area and perimeter.
YG: *stone*
mo: you know what’s area / perimeter or not??!! what’s area and perimeter?
YG: *stone*
mo (getting flustered): okay, if i want to paint a room, what do i need? area or perimeter?
YG: (either stone or answered perimeter, i can’t remember)
mo: it’s area! (begins to explain)

diao! it’s supposed to be a fricking food court for meals! not to grill your children over area/perimeter. tuitions teachers are getting so hi-tech, got SMS status reports. screw. (not that i have tuition.)

absurd #2

i was sitting in a NEL train (on my way to mensa thingy) beside this higher-middle-aged couple. there was an ad the other side of the train advertising cold storage and there were pictures of, um, tidbits.

man to wife: why they advertise this. no logic.
man: see, they say train cannot eat things, can eat this izzit. no logic.
man: advertise oil or rice it’s ok, but why advertise tidbits? no logic.

among other lines of the same nature. how irritating. and seriously ironic! i think the wife mustave been rather embarrassed. while i had “??” above my head.

–
and now on to tanglin mall.

everything there was always expensive. but i’ve just realized even the macs there is similarly overpriced! i mean, more overpriced than other branches.

one time last time, i bought a student’s meal. it was $4.10. then i made a mental note about student meals there being more expensive.

then on one rare occasion i bought a student’s meal in J8, they charged me $4! then i thought the staff at J8 made a mistake. and was laughing at my 10c gain.

then i started going to tanglin mall mcdonalds for my cell group. and i realized stuff like hashbrown is $1.60 (weird… thought it was $1.45). iced milo is $2.20 (hasn’t it always been $1.95?) then i was illuminated.

the thing is, macs is very smart.

for those things they proudly advertise as $2 or $1 (like mcchicken and apple pie), they keep it at that price. but for everything else they silently increase the price to 5-20c more expensive. NO LOGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111 damn the high rental. damn ang mohs who inhabit my “rich” area, forcing unrich people like me to relent to the blackmail that’s going on. damn richard gere.

and the food court is totally for ang mohs too. there’s this huge stall (that used to be like 3 stalls before renovation) that’s called Australian-something. and it sells stuff like $10 fish and chips. and everything else is ~$5, like beef noodles and common hawker fare.

oh, and canned drinks are $1.40. which is a high score at food courts up till now. even the vending machines have been “moderated” to $1.40-.50 so people won’t storm it and avoid the drinks stall.

the next time i have to get food outside, i’m walking to orchard road. at least there’s more variety for cheaper.

oh wait. this post is too long. looks like i have to relate my steamy saga next post.

i was blog surfing today, then i realized abel flamed me with lots of f-words. lol!

gladly i have better things to do. like carry out Moses Soh MSN Convo #1. i play Esplanade Chee, a damn irritating gepper.

anw, singapore idol finals! not that i care. i half-heartedly support jonathan leong! see, half-hearted is pro. just support and be happy/mildly sad, don’t need to vote. i read the papers and realized one thing each about the finalists. Hady has parents that are like 16 (father) and 14 (mom) years older than him only! gasp. that means if Al was his age now, and he got pregnant, yah… also, Hady has an older sister. wtf, that means the mother conceived at at most 13 years of age. they’re prolly adopted. (spooky)

then jonathan leong. his pap is named Joseph and his mom Mary. wts. why isn’t this final Jesus vs Hady, now? (people like jonlian will say this is blasphemy. ahhhh i die. go Boys Home.)

Hady will probably win. my mom said something quite true last season after Taufik’s win: Malay people go for solidarity, vote for each other! so while Chinese/Indian votes are split between the 2, most Malay votes will go to Hady!

then there is the issue of everyone complaining how this has become a popularity show, not a singing contest.

well, Duh. the moment you let people vote it becomes one of popularity. singing quality is only one part of such popularity! and the judges shouldn’t be bemoaning this. because SI was meant to be commercial. you think it’s very fun ah, suddenly in the papers you see a small article: “After lots of auditions, a winner has been chosen by 4 judges to represent us in World Idol. His name is ———”. wow. got such a contest meh? neh hear before.

not to mention the judges get paid from the voters’ money. you see the custom-made Big Gulp in front of every judge? they get paid tons just to pose with it and occasionally conveniently drink from it (probably filled with water) when the camera focuses on them.

and voters just want to vote for people they like. not people that can “expand our singing horizons”, yada yada. oh. like some teenage schoolgirl is going to have to choose between this good-looking guy which can sing ok (i mean, every single person in the final stages of the competition has to sing decent!) and this pockfaced geek who has a flawless singing voice. then will she go “actually i like the good-looking guy! so kawaii desu-ne? but no, because of singapore’s singing horizons and future i must vote the pockfaced geek!”

that’s like going to a shop. the shop uncle says, “please! i’m poor. please buy from me! but you must only buy so-and-so product!”

and the judges are saying stuff for the sake of saying. they chose the final 28. then they say to joakim: “i’ve finally realized that you can’t sing at all.” come on lah. you made the decision lorrrr.

whoops. i flamed SI. for your information, the aforementioned singing competition was actually Sierra Leone Idol. and the word ’singapore’ was probably a typo for, um, Sierra Leone. and there is also no such thing as Sierra Leone Idol. i have been inventing and cooking things up.

i was about to post about how kevin has friends (those hangers-about he deems friends, at least) in BB that are equally or more dumb than mine. apparently he claims that his friends say “his head is in the clouds” and one friend touched his head and said “my hand just went 181 storeys high!” solame! ow my eardrums resound violently. kevin’s friends are degenerates, same as him!

but now i’ve decided that i have better blogging material.

i got into RT! i don’t fail anymore! so chester and pek and joel also got in, yay. and ms hanna said that the sec 3s of next year are most probably going to make up the exco since the current sec 3s are slackers and not full bodyheart&soul in it. yay! 2 years of exco, 2 years of points!

i shall now blog about this funny incident.

when i was p6, i took part in this chess tourney from nanyang. so in one game, i met this small guy, presumably p5. and i was winning in the endgame. then that guy kept saying “offer draw” “offer draw” like a certain teacher is offering a school-based math publication. and i kept saying “no”. then i made a Fatal Error and lost my queen. then i “offer draw”. and the pesky p5 said “dang gu gu”. “wait long long!”

so this year, i saw this sec 1 freak in RI. i’m positive it’s him because when there was an announcement abt joining chess club his face lit up and his friends said to him, “eh, chess!” he must have bragged, he looks like that kind of guy.

so he’s going to DIE! in one way or another.
–
i’ve started stalking moses soh. but this one is slightly more tricky. no msn email. i added moses lim partly for fun and partly to get rid of the stupid clock cursor.

this one was found in his profile page, and it’s darn funny.

oh wait it spoils my frames. so check this out!

when i finally get the chance, i shall grill moses soh twice. once as a retard talking like “wadeva, 4eva, wat, tht, etc) and the other as a pompous idiot like Esplanade Chee.

ok done for now.

wts. who would have known today is the Talk Like a Pirate Day?

so i was playing kol and went into chat. then some people were talking pirate.

i forgot all about it and switched to another chat channel afterwards. there were many piratespeakers too. so i asked why. and someone said it was the International TLAPD! i thought it was a joke because it sounded funny… until i googled it.

honestly, these foreigners are crazy.

http://www.talklikeapirate.com

i have a pirate name!
Matthew Chan, your pirate name is
Castaway Eric the Fierce

What is YOUR pirate name?

YARRRRRRRR. i barbarian. i kill people. i… go to Boys’ Home.

the RT interview went ok. it was ms hanna! i’d rather be interviewed by someone i don’t know.. i was the first person so everyone else was asking “qns=wat?????////”
–

and now, i talk about people who write complaint letters to newspapers.

these people are both oversensitive and have too much free time on their hands! there was this time i saw “A Vegetarian’s Worst Nightmare” on a bus (talking about meat burgers, not surprisingly), then i was like “this is so going to be the next sunday time’s forum letter.”

i was right! although the letter took a few weeks after to come. this vegetarian, blah blah blah, seriously offended and hurt, blah blah, thinks that vegetarians don’t insult meat eaters too, blah blah. finish? finish.

seriously, these posts, other than showing your apparent weakness and oversensitivity OR being “OMG i have a thought everyone must know of it”, what can the readers do about it? obviously, those writers are waiting for an apology in the forum a few days later from the company. and what good will that do?

i bet they’re all insecure and ostracised and loners. (whoops. that’s what they said about the serial cat killer!) so, they get tortured in life by other individuals, but they know that they have a trump card over big companies.

oh yeah. some vegetarian with a persecution complex is going to read this and call the press! then i’ll be forced to delete that post and go to Boys’ Home. then my blog will get 100k+ hits! ^^

[anti-sue insurance] btw, this is not a personal attack on vegetarians! [/anti-sue insurance]

pDS is created.

projectDS! the main motivation of my soul these days!

oh wait. no one wants to hear about my adventure to save $10 a week for the rest of term in order to buy a nintendo DS + various cool DS games. right.

so i shall talk about how i plan to get a merit cca.

apparently, i’m “drunk on RI” and i want to get all that raffles has for me. so that includes a merit cca! you have NO LIFE if you don’t have a merit cca!

and also no cca points. unlike a certain Boys Brigade which forces you to do lame and loser stuff like timekeeping and Bible quiz but slaps a few tens of points and CIP hours on you. it’s like polo has one (1) competition in the whole year and i was already lucky to get in the team. and we got 3rd some more. while BB goes for first aid courses etc (which i have to admit is quite interesting) and they get a smelly badge and CCA point.

but anyway i’m going for a Rafflesian Times interview tmr to claim my long lost life. if i become a vice head leader or smth i might get points! then i can introduce a series of Uncle Boebby stories so people will buy to follow, haha. and i will recommend that RT stop scamming people and that they sell it for the 20c it’s probably worth. unless members get a cut!

“I am not an ordinary RT candidate. I promise that if I am voted in, I will stay up writing proposals for the sake of the school.” (freaky. while i was writing this, chentian signed in on msn. and no, i don’t have anything against chentian. i’m probably going to vote for him.)

oh. and noogeroo has finally overtaken me in counter hits! :((

i’m in fantasizing-about-NDS mode!

i want a portable game console! i will play it everyday while walking and get knocked down by cars!

now i’m thinking how to earn money. my parents will probably not get that even for my birthday and christmas combined.

i can give tuition to primary school students! i’ll talk in a patronizing and condescending tone.

tutee: teacherrrrr, what is 3+7?
me: omg, you dunno? lol. how could this happen to me? 11 lah 11 lah.
tutee: ok.
me: lol jack. so gullible.
tutee: what is gooliber?
me: it means stupid. like you lidat.
tutee: okay.

argh! i might have nurtured a primary-school form of Al! tutee will develop inferiority complex, and mug and go around asking people, “you what placing? i placing first! haha, you placing last, you so gullible.”

friday was intolerable.

in math, G was getting more pissy and menopausal. he kept asking everyone to stand then everyone, smirking away, stood up. then we corrected everything he said and laughed loudly which, for some strange reason, seemed to piss him.

the other day, he was so… weird.

G: everyone, buy the math mag! $1.50 only.
few people buy.
G: buy leh.
us: …
G: buy leh.
us: …
G: discounted from $2 leh.(which was obviously a lie) buy leh.
us: …
G: buy leh.
somebody: waste money!
G flares up.
G: DON’T BE RUDE OKAY???!!!!1111 respect other people’s work! don’t want to buy just keep your mouth shut!
us: …

on a lighter note, i think i did not screw up the uber easy math test! i should get a 3.6 for math this year.*
–
then it was some talk on computer addiction.

“I want you to know that i’m addicted to you!” by Simple Plan

the talk ended 20 min early. then Mrs Lim, our revered Year Head, scolded us for apparent rudeness. wow, can’t believe anyone can spend 30 min talking about the same thing. seriously, that’s skill!

i think the next time she does that, i shall hum “The Song That Never Ends” in my head. it’s so funny.

This is the song that never ends
It will go on and on my friend
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they’ll continue singing it forever just because..

This is the song that never ends…

*my mom tied up a small monetary award to my GPA improvement. like 3.47. i should be able to get that!
