Hello welcome to my site. Some disclaimers first: Everything written down here are just my pea's worth of opinion. You are not to take anything I mentioned against me. And I do not need your validation to live, for the record. :)
Whoopee! I qualified for masters! Just hope that the 16th bowler next week doesn't exceed my 165 average... (^-^)

Thanks to Campus Superstar 1 & 2 reject Joseph, I will now have to do this:
Rules of the Game: Each player starts off with ten weird facts or habits about themselves. At the end, choose six people to be tagged and list their names.
1. I get 500 free sms-es but I barely use 50 each month.
2. I write stupid smileys or messages on my calculator.
3. I find people who eat anything and everything funny. (That means you, Joseph.)
4. I drew an inaccurate map of Peninsular Malaysia on my table in class because JieSheng was being Singapore beside me.
5. My 30cm ruler was the Woodlands Causeway.
6. I ran trains to "KL" from Singapore and back without getting into trouble as the railway land was Malaysia's. (^-^)
7. I still can't think of my Confirmation name.
8. I wanna watch The Simpsons and Evan Almighty.
9. My phone is 2 years old with no Bluetooth, no way to transfer files from the computer and vice versa, a camera which takes portrait pictures, 2 lame games called "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Soccer" and an Infrared port that doesn't work.
10. I do stupid surveys like this whenever I'm bored.
I shall tag the first 6 people who read this entry to do this survey. ^-^

The Great Escape
Paper bags and plastic hearts All are belongings in shopping carts It's goodbye But we got one more night Let's get drunk and ride around And make peace with an empty town We can make it right
Throw it away Forget yesterday We'll make the great escape We won't hear a word they say They don't know us anyway Watch it burn Let it die Cause we are finally free tonight
Tonight will change our lives It's so good to be by your side But we'll cry We won't give up the fight We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs And they'll think it's just cause we're young And we'll feel so alive
Throw it away Forget yesterday We'll make the great escape We won't hear a word they say They don't know us anyway Watch it burn Let it die Cause we are finally free tonight
All of the wasted time The hours that were left behind The answers that we'll never find They don't mean a thing tonight
Throw it away Forget yesterday We'll make the great escape We won't hear a word they say They don't know us anyway
Throw it away Forget yesterday We'll make the great escape We won't hear a word they say They don't know us anyway
Throw it away Forget yesterday We'll make the great escape We won't hear a word they say They don't know us anyway Watch it burn Let it die Cause we are finally free tonight

You're not good at any one thing, and that's the problem. You're good at so much - you never know what to do. Change is in your blood, and you don't stick to much for long. You are destined for a life of travel and fun.
Similarities between NPD @ Marina Bay 2007 and Songs of the Seas:
- Community Singing (exact same songs) - Fireballs - Water screen - Water shooters - Laser shows - Fictional Characters - 3 stages before the climax - Fishies! (Oscar for SOTS, Sing for NDP) - Fireworks - Song after climax (We Did It for SOTS, Will You/We Must for NDP)
Doesn't it look suspiciously similar?

Something I ripped off Joseph's blog:
English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.
Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.
In plain English what does this translate to?
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!
Whee~

Javier, the C-Div master, wanted to treat the whole bowling team KFC today. But guess what. Due to Jakarta Open and other unforseen circumstances (aka Simpsons, Rush Hour 3), only Issac, Magnus and I could make it. Hah.
Took 28 to Toa Payoh, owned the whole back row. Fiddled with Issac's phone. Blah blah blah... Went to KFC, here's how the order went:
She gave us 1 coeslaw and 1 whipped potato each. And charged Javier like $20+. Obviously, she didn't charge us the student price. Here's how the conversation went after that:
Magnus: Eh auntie, this one coeslaw leh. Auntie: Oh ya, student meal hor? Javier + Issac + Me: Oi... Why you tell... Magnus: I am a Marist Gentleman. Issac + Me: You are?
Okay... The eating was rather uneventful... Until we finished. I realised that the auntie forgot to give me a spoon for the whipped potato. Wth... So I asked Issac:
Me: Eh Issac u finished ady right? Issac: Yarh... Me: Can I use your spoon? Issac: *licks spoon all around* Issac: Nah. Me: There's an invention called the TISSUE PAPER. Issac: Oh ok. Issac: *wipes spoon with tissue* Issac: Nah. Me: Thanks.
:p
I held the container and whaddya know?! It was empty! I wanted to go to the counter and shout when all 3 of them said "walau you damn lag leh." Then I realised Issac stole my whipped potato. -.-"
Ok then nothing liao.

Just blog about something on the way back from National Skin Centre, some act punk uncle came up and sat 3 seats away from me, excluding the aisle. Chatted with his supposed wife and guess what? My noise-cancellation earphones didn't cancel out his voice. Well done. I should congratulate all the other passengers for surviving an avalanche from the air con.

Here's a letter from a typical Singaporean to the Straits Times Forum: Make bus rides more comfortable
I LAUD the Public Transport Council (PTC) for coming up with an even more stringent set of bus service standards.
Efficient bus services will cut down travelling time and add to economic value.
At the same time, the PTC should look into the comfort of the commuter. Often, I find that the airconditioning is either too cold or ineffective, leaving one perspiring through a long journey.
The vents, too, are difficult to adjust or broken and not repaired. The rectangular vents, in particular, don't seem to serve any purpose.
I have also been on a number of buses which struggle along or which smell of engine oil.
The MobileTV screens should be removed. They serve only one or two persons standing nearest to them. The view of the rest of the passengers is blocked by those in front of the set or the sound is drowned out by the noise of the engine.
The seat after the rear door is so far from the horizontal safety bar that it is a danger to the occupier. Should the driver apply the brakes suddenly, this passenger will be thrown forward and injured badly.
Some seats are positioned so close to one another that the passenger has insufficient knee room and has to travel in a cramped position.
The windows should be redesigned. The sills should be broad enough and low enough for passengers to rest their elbows comfortably. The vertical columns on the windows should be repositioned such that they are just behind each seat. Presently they often prevent a commuter from resting his elbow on the sill.
A perpetual grouse has been advertisements covering the windows, obstructing the view of passengers. Advertisements should cover only the bus body and not the windows.
Murali Sharma
Here's my reply:
Dear Mr Sharma,
Efficient bus services will use up more petrol. There is no economic value to talk about. Instead, we will be harming the environment more.
The bus air-conditioning is using thermostat. Blame the external temperatures if you must.
Push the louver button to the left (for the left vent) or right (for the right vent) to open the "rectangular" vent.
If memory serves me right, they are called TVMobile. And Mediacorp is in charge of them. Write to Mediacorp TV instead, not Publishing.
The super wide legroom is so that not only the 1 or 2 people can watch it in front. Should the driver apply the brakes suddenly and you slip down, blame your inertia. Oops...
Apparently you have a problem no matter how much legroom you get. We should implement all-standees buses. Just like Japan's trains during peak periods.
The "sills" are meant to hold the window in place, not for you to use it as an armrest. Window "sills" are never meant to double up as armrests.
The advertisements act as a sunshade and help to offset your "expensive" bus fares. If bus companies remove advertisements, fares may be raised by 20 cents each time instead of a maximum of 2 cents.
Let us strive to make our World-Class transport system a better one! :D
