Back by popular demand!! (I think...)
There's a physics exam tomorrow, does that explain my sadistic behavior? :p
This torture is target-specific. It can only be applied to a certain group of people.
Target: Fashion disasters who thinks they are "stylish"
For those who know who I'm talking about, good for you. For those who don't... Too bad! :p
Steps:
1. Film your victim everyday in horrendous "costumes". Avoid his/her face as much as possible, except for the last shot.
2. A week later... Invite him/her to a screening. Tie him/her to the chair in case he/her faints or runs away.
3. Run the video. At the same time, try making him/her agree that the "style" is horrifying.
4. Toward the end... "Wait, that person looks familiar... Hey, isn't it YOU?!"
*Note: It may not work since the person may be immune to bad taste. I mean he/she is one!
Disclaimer: (just in case...) ;)
Any coincidence to anyone or any event is unintended.

Physics
I don't hate physics. In fact, I like physics. It can be quite fun, when you know how to solve the problem, that is.
Anyway...
Saw Mr. Lim outside the staff room yesterday. Then he pointed to me and said, "You're dropping Physics right?"
"Yes." I was really serious, a little sad too.
Then he started smiling merrily!! SO MEAN! I'm soooo hurt. Cryz... He wouldn't even stop smiling when I said, "Why are you smiling so merrily (or something like that)? So mean!" I mean, is it really that painful to be marking my assignments and teaching me the concepts and all? Cryz...
Very hurt. But it's quite amusing. Haha...

The Barbaric Civilization
Turned on the television today at around 5.15pm. Don't really know what to watch. When I turned to Mediacorp Channel 5, they were broadcasting the Guinness World Record Primetime II.
I was rather interested. The first record was on the uglist dog. I find the dog rather pretty though. Very much like the dog Cruela in 101 Dalmatians owns. A lot of people just find it ugly and freaky...
The second record:
The transparent inflated ball 10 feet in diameter, with a chamber in the middle for one person.
It looks extremely intersting, I would love to try it, although it looks dangerous. But life is all about that isn't it. ;)
The third record: what triggers me
A guy who can disjoint his joints, making him extremely flexible.
He was brought out in a white box, about the size of a small luggage. When it was unlocked... The way he crawled out of his tiny holding place was really scary, it's like a ghost creeping out from its hiding place in those horror movies (not that I watch them often). He was then suppose to get himself into a locked strait jacket. When he was doing so, he twisted his body, made crackling sounds by disjoining his joints, and pounded on the floor.
It's the expression on the audience's faces I cannot forget. Awe, horror, amazement, excitement, fear... All etched on the same faces. It reminds me of the scene in From Hell, where the Elephant man is revealed to the supposed upper class. They were fearful, yet they were curious. The sight of what is shown to them was far too ugly for the eyes, yet they yearn for more. They were horrified by the form, yet they were amazed by the accidents in nature.
It's the same emotion rollercoaster the audience in the Guinnes World Records were going through when they watched the man pound on the floor.
Today we claim to be civilized. We banned the barbaric gladiator showdown. We tear down gladiator arenas. Yet we built air-conditioned rings for similar purposes. The shows may not be as bloody, yet it satisfies our barbaric nature just as much.

Mooncake Festival
It's not often that the mid-autumn festival is around my birthday. So this year's is really cool.
Anyway Mr Lee gave each of us a yellow bouncy ball, with a smiley face drawn on it. I think the bouncy ball is really cute, and the intention is totally sweet. I mean teachers don't usually give presents on mooncake festival. Although the yellow bouncy ball may look like a moon or durain-flavored mooncake or whatever, I don't think it has anything to do with the mooncake festival at all. I guess he's just trying to cheer us up. Which is why it's soooo sweet! Our mentor rocks!!

Thank you
This feeling has been bubbling inside me for quite some time. I have this urge to thank so many people, but having little courage to do so. ;) This post shall be dedicated to the teachers.
To teachers:
Mr Lee -- For having so much patience to explain the concepts over and over again, and listening to all the complains I always seem to have. :p
Dr. Ng -- For always being so gentle (although still quite intimidating) and patiently guiding me through my work.
Mr. Lim -- For giving up the time to tutor us individual, even if it means that he has to crunch on chocolate bars.
Dr. Seah -- For making me talk about my problems. It really feels a lot better after that.
Lee Lao Shi -- For patiently explaining what every single zi ci in zhong he tian kong means.
And the rest of the teachers and staff for your care and smile.
I think our school rocks, because of the teachers and staff we have!! Whee!!

Pressure, Tears. Hatred, Love.
Good morning to the world!
With only 24 hours to spend
Minus the 6 hours I have wasted on sleeping
I have 18 hours left.
I go to the washroom
Who needs a tap
When there is more water
flowing out of my eyes.
I look into the mirror.
Why do I look 50, when I am barely 18.
Someone must have been sucking my life,
I am open to better explainations.
Wearing my uniform,
the school's identity,
in place of my own.
But who needs identity,
when you're not at home?
I swear I could become a weight-lifter.
I practice everyday
with my school bag as the weight.
In class, all I see is formulas
whether my eyes are opened or closed.
20 formulas to memorize this week,
there will be a quiz on the next.
I could barely find my table
in the midst of assignments and worksheets.
If these were diamonds and gold,
I'd rather have trunks of coal.
God of Dreams is on my side.
To help me study better
he allows lectures to continue in my dream
saving me the time to revise for my quiz.
Undermining my confidence.
Slicing off my health.
Giving my youth.
All for the sake of the future.
A future I can barely see.
A future that is beyond reach.
A future that has more for me?

October Baby
(a forward mail)
Loves to chat. Loves those who love them. Loves to takes things at the center. Inner and physical beauty. Lies but doesn't pretend. Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. Brave and fearless. Always making friends. Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. Opinionated. Does not care to control emotions. Unpredictable. Extremely smart, but definitely the hottest AND sexiest of them all.

Weirdo Yingzhen
From Yingzhen's blog, post "So Happy!"...
Hi Kar Yen!
Haha Kar Yen made my day today!
Yay Karyen rocks you!
Hahah am so proud of her!
This is so funny cos I am typing this in front of her and this is like, flattery but never mind. Hahah she finds this very amusing. But then again, she finds everything amusing.
Byebye Karyen! (She just left.)...
She's the one who finds everything amusing, not me.
I am utterly disappointed in her for only learning to appreciate me after such a loooong time... *cryz*
Hahaha... This is amusing! Weirdo Yingzhen! You rock!!

Cycad
What?
Cycad is an ancient plant that existed ever since dinosaurs walk the earth.
How?
During Bio-diversity lesson in year 2006 semester 1, Yingzhen suddenly points at me and started calling me "Cycad". Reason unknown.
Future?
I mentioned in my last post how a name may affect someone's behavior, what would happen if I'm addressed as "Cycad" all the time? Perhaps...
I'll grow spikey
not bad, at least I'll stand a lower chance of being struck by the lightening
I'll be really quiet
have never seen a talking plant before (except in cartoons, but they don't count)
My cells may evolve and have chloroplasts and cell wall and vacoule
Okay, this is ridiculus :P

Names
(Posted this on Where I Belong blog as well)
"What's in a name that which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet"
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Well, the issue on names suddenly pop up on my head. It's not exactly random, it deals with issues of identity...
Anyway, I thought of responding to a different name every day/week/month. I wonder how that would be. I guess sometimes we are so attached to our name that we don't hear anything but our names. I shall try it next week. Hehez...
Back to the Romeo and Juliet statement... I read an article some time last year or the year before that names actually do make a difference. A rose would not smell as sweet if we know it as "feces" or something. That's the general idea.
If we observe the peopel around us, some people with the same names actually turn out to be pretty similar. That leaves us to think...
Lesson:
Never give your child a bad name. ;)

Last day of my life...
IF today is the last day+night of my life...
(the following is the list of things I would do)
Ditch school
going to school is so that we get results and be able to survive in the society (or so they say)
Dress myself in a wedding gown
I always think wedding gowns are pretty
Burn homework and assignments and projects
I wanted to do that long ago... *evil grin*
Repay all my debts
don't want to die owing people stuff
Shop-til-drop
I don't think $$ would be needed in the other world right (if there is one), might as well make myself happy! ^-^
Punch up people I really dislike
it's not like they can punch me back if they can't find me in the next 24hrs ;P
Star-gaze
have never done it before, and I think it's really romantic (even if you're alone)
Watch the sun-set & sun-rise
have never seen the real thing (another romantic one)
Experience free-fall
always wonder how it feels like. It would be great if I know the exact time of death, so that I can time myself such that I wouldn't be alive when I touch the ground ;P
More to come... (I'll think of more)
This is the time your really wish there's more than mere 24 hours a day. ^-^

Emails
Received another email from a relative I know not of from some distant land for financial assitance, promising me profit and reward. This is the 7th spam mail I receieved this month.
How did I know it's a spam mail?
1. It would be more sensible to contact my parents if any of such distant relative of mine is in trouble, since they would be a distant relative to my parents as well. I mean what's the point of informing a financially dependent teenager of a financial crisis?
2. It's obvious they were hacking my account information since they got the surname wrong. (They have one of my first name as the supposed surname.)
Seriously, don't people have better things to do? Something beneficial to the community, perhaps?

Searching for men and women
I'm searching for men and women right now on singlesonline.com
It's just so weird, it makes me feel like a desperate. I'm browsing every profile, and instead of looking for men with interest in "more than just face value", I'm trying to look for men with interest in young attractive women!! It's just sooo weird!!
NOTE: I'm doing this for my animal behavior module. It's an ASSIGNMENT. I'm not doing this for "personal gain".

Interesting story
This is a story I heard from biology teacher Mr. Soh last week, and found it really amuzing. I'll try my best to recall the details... :)
In his point of view...
"While we (Mr. Soh and his female colleague) were setting up poles for our research on birds early one morning, we saw 2 black cobra, a male and a female. The male, unlike other species, was slightly larger than the female, about 2meters in length. They were interwind together, the male 'holding on to his resource'. (As you can guess by now) They were copulating. The rare sight woke us up.
My female colleague passed me a camera and asked me to take a photo of it. As the zoom of the camera was far from satisfactory, I had to move really close to the cobras to take a good picture, thinking that they would not even notice me since they were busy 'passing on their genes'.
When I was really close to the cobras and was ready to take a good picture, the two suddenly unwind. As I was on the downslope, the two came tumbling down on me. My female colleague screamed and escaped. The female cobra simply slithered off. However the male cobra was really pissed off. For a split second, I had the crazy idea of opening up my legs so that the cobra could tumble through. I abandoned the idea and ran away as fast as I could.
When I was a safe distance away from the slope, I turned around and saw that the male cobra was at where I was, looking really pissed off and ready to spit..."
Moral of the story?
Do not disturb when people are busy, especially when they are copulating. ;p
In his point of view...
"While we (Mr. Soh and his female colleague) were setting up poles for our research on birds early one morning, we saw 2 black cobra, a male and a female. The male, unlike other species, was slightly larger than the female, about 2meters in length. They were interwind together, the male 'holding on to his resource'. (As you can guess by now) They were copulating. The rare sight woke us up.

Tired of living
I wonder how much longer I can hang on there.
I go to school with a smile
secretly praying for a good day ahead.
I smile at people
wishing to make their day.
Yet who was there
when I needed someone to smile at me
and tell me everything was fine.
All I needed was a smile.
The sun was gone.
The light was gone.
The world seems so cold
and me so lonely in it.
I used to believe in fairytales
I used to believe in dreams.
Yet they seem so far away now
so far beyond my reach.
All I needed was a smile
a sincere one from the heart.
Someone to tell me everything's alright
and fairytales are alive.
Smile at people more
praise them and appreciate them.
Instead of cursing
and making life sore.
I never knew how to write poems
I never knew how to express.
Bottling the thoughts inside
may drive me crazy one day.

Frustration & Impatience
Status: Doing chemistry and biology and physics(valentine history research) assignments.
I'm really frustrated. So frustrated that the only thing I can do is to stick out my tongue and pout and frown. Which SUCKS! I'm not frustrated because I don't know how to do my assignments, although that is partially true, but the concentration is small enough to be neglected.
The main source of my frustration is life and people.
I thought he was a good friend. I thought he was nice and would help when I need. I don't know why, but he had gotten very unfriendly toward me and refuses to help. This behavior puzzled me. (I wonder if that's how animal behaviorist lose their sanity.)
Perhaps this frustration is because, as I learnt through the years, I still regard him as a friend, a good friend who would reach out to help if you need him there. This frustration would only surface when the person is someone whom I regard highly as a friend.
I just hope I'm thinking too much.

Changing CCA?
Don't get me wrong, I love my CCA. It's just that the total input and output of our CCA is far too limited. This is the consequence of the lack of involvement of both (or more) parties.
Firstly, the drama club has only 7 people + 18 new people this year - 1 who decided to quit and join some other CCA. Out of the 24 people, I wonder who is really enthusiatic about this whole drama club thing. Excluding me, since my case is a little complicated, only one out of the 7 old dramakins selected drama as the first CCA choice. I don't know about the 18 new people, but I think less than 2 of them put drama as first choice. Some did not even choose drama at all!
The 7 drama people were talented people. It's just the lack of commitment. During drama meetings, it is not unusual to see 'small-group discussions' while the main-stream discussion is on-going. Also it's either we can't think spontanously or some are just too shy to express their ideas. Regarding that, I'm not surprised either, sicne the encouragement and agreement is seldom present.
Out of the 18 new pple, at least 4 of them bothered looking up for the drama club pple when they cannot find the teacher-in-charge, since she was on medical leave. The other 14 either was very confused with the CCA system of our school or just can't be bothered.
Secondly... We have a very good drama instructor. She is spontanous, creative, hyper, and professional. However I felt that she did not regard everyone's idea as much as the other person. In my opinion, she is rather bias and favors one student. I distinctly remembered that she said there's no CCA leader for the drama club. However what I observed is that she speaks only to one student, her favorite student. She regard her ideas more than others', she did not care if other students are making the effort to contribute to the CCA. Take that day for example, she was absent on our CCA day, and she did not inform any of us, allowing all of us to be stucked in a confused state. I was extremely furious with her when I tried to contact her telling her about the ACT3 project and how the deadline is closing, she simply ignored, until like a few days later, her fav. student came and say the thing is still on. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! This is simply RIDICULUS.
I guess what I wanted to say is that the hyper and friendly attitude she has may be her asset, yet her prejudice can evaporate all these values. I shall give drama just one more try and see how things work out. I may change CCA or simply slack in the CCA, depending on how things go.

Dreams Come True... NOT
This week had not been too good a week for me. An event today finally unleahes my long hidden thought on one of the aspects of life: dreams.
Like many others, regarding of age, gender, or nationality, I had enjoy Disney's movies. In fact I still do enjoy them. They make me believe that dreams do come true, and that everything would end "happily ever after" sooner or later. However it that really the case in real life?
Reality is cruel. The jokes in life can affect one's life greatly. In order to survive in this typical reality, humans are forced to do evil things, making life more difficult. Sometimes people went too far to achieve their goals, thus hurting others, either consciously or unknowingly.
Having taken "Mathematics Behind Gambling" module before, althought I had not passed the module with flying colors, it had given me a rough idea of the chances of winning. Cross-refering to life examples, I learnt that behind those glorious winnings displayed through the media, are thousands of losts and disappointment. Only one out of those millions who bet would win.
Those Hollywood movies that show how miracles happen to people, had concealed the fact that miracles do not happen to most people, or it would not be called a miracle anymore.
Applying the same principles to life, "dreams coming true" is very much like a lottery, or a miracle. As one dream may contradict with another, life could not possibly satisfy every dream. That is also the reason why dream-becoming-reality is much envied, it is because it is so rare.

Teacher Mr. Chai
Oh my god!! There is new teacher in school call Mr. Chai. Which is really weird (at least for me) since he shares my surname, and it's such a rare surname too.
Normally, all my life actually, I've only heard others calling my dad "Mr. Chai". So the idea of "Mr. Chai" is my dad is kinda stucked into my head. And now I have to greet one of my teachers "Mr. Chai". This is weird. I wonder how anybody with common surname such as "Lim", "Lee", "Chan", etc. feels. THIS IS SUPER WEIRD. I think (hope) I'll get used to it.
