01 juli Life thus far (2) Gosh... These few months have been a roller coaster ride. So many things going on and stress levels are at an all time high... I'm going crazy. Some events that whizzed past. 1. Bahnep's second try to win the SSC, we ended up as finalists instead 2. June holidays, which was spent mugging my ass off 3. HYA with my darling 4. Epic prawning sessions 5. Bahnep's Musicfest Music Video Wing's video And now some slices of the past.... 06 mei Life thus far...Here's a summary since someone's been too lazy to blog. 1. Tammy 2. CT 3. PW Results 4. Interschools (double champion YAY) 5. Satellite Project 6. Getting scolded 7. Flu :( 8. Tammy 9. Tammy 10. Tammy 23 februari randomTis been a while since i updated my blog. I have some spare time so I shall update a bit. JC life is crazy. Common tests are coming and so is Interschools and so is project deadline.
STRESSSSS!!!!
Haiz, what to do... Anyway i was at SATTECH last friday listening to weird people with weird accents talk about satellites. Haha, the amusement came from a bunch of girls from a school that shall not be named who were sitting on the row in front of Bahnep. They were friggin copying everything the speaker says. Even the non-important stuff. Muggerlings! Can imagine the muggers they'll grow into. Some uber kiasu monster or sth. WTH... The italian guy's accent was quite amusing but epic boring after a while. But we managed to take home some stuff about SAR.
Ok gtg, need to shower before going to school.
Oh, and darn it I might as well say it to prevent future confusions. I'm not single anymore. I've found the love of my life, all 17 years of it. Kinda short but I'm working on it. 17 februari JC life so farI do not hate it, but i certainly do not like it. I have so many things to do, so much weight on my shoulders. The pressure to do well for A levels is immense...
So many things to balance: Schoolwork, sailing, friends, tuition, revision... Something's gotta give and that's my sleep. I'm surviving on 5 hours of sleep a day when i'm supposed to be getting 8 for "healthy development". I really envy the people who can take life easy and still get imba grades. It's not fair. Hiaz. I shall stop comparing. I have to score and I will do it myself. 9 more months...
I can do it. Because I must. 27 januari In port raceOk, some pictures I took of the Volvo Ocean In-port race from bedok jetty. I know it's super lag but here it is anyway. Dun complain.

I little puma shoe keychain with VOlvo ocean race printed on the insoles, a whistle and a cool Puma t-shirt courtesy of Tammy. Ok less talk, photos are here

Erudite Concepts
If you’re not familiar with the work of Boswell D. Rabbitsmith, he’s the famous erudite scientist who once said: “I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates.” His mind sees things differently than most of us do, to our amazement and amusement. Here are some of his gems: (He also makes his living as a comedian by the name of Steve Wright….) 1 - I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. 2 - Borrow money from pessimists — they don’t expect it back. 3 - Half the people you know are below average. 4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot. 6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. 7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain. 9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand. 10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. 11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met. 12 - OK, so what’s the speed of dark? 13 - How can you tell when you’re out of invisible ink? 14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. 15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. 16 - When everything seems to be coming your way, maybe you’re in the wrong lane. 17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not being smart enough to be lazy. 18 - Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now. 19 - I intend to live forever… so far, so good. 20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? 21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. 22 - What happens if you get scared half to death…twice? 23 - My mechanic told me, “I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.” 24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name? 25 - If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. 26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. 27 - Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it. 28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread. 29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. 30 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up. 32 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don’t have film. 33 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work? 06 januari Why Anarchy rules (irony intended)Yes, I want anarchy. In this essay, I will explain why anarchy will serve us better instead of communism or democracy IN THEORY. Feasibility-wise, anarchy is impossible. Want to know why I'm writing this essay? Because I'm BORED!!! Studying for motorboat test is as dry as the sahara desert.
Ok, here goes. *clears throat.
Leadership is a tricky thing. It's hard to satisfy the sheep you lead. People have a myriad of unlimited wants and this leader is expected to satisfy every one of these wants. If wants are not satisfied, you get a shoe in your face like Bush. Or, you make make a million promises of change and be loved by everyone.
The leader is expected to deliver
If the leader does not, masses get angry and start to revolt. Riots or by simply voting the leader off. However, whatever the leader does and does not do will inevitably anger a certain group of people. So the trick is maintaining the golden ratio of civilian satisfaction. A little dissatisfaction in a country can be compromised to ensure the satisfaction for the vast majority.
HOWEVER, it seems in today's context. Leader's have taken their job too far. A leader's position is one often associated with fame and fortune. Why? Because they do an extremely tiresome and stressful job they cry out to justify insane salaries that they give themselves. This concept of leader-elitism is screwed up. I choose anarchy.
Anarchy is not a bad thing. Anarchy is a lovely thing. No oppression, no power struggles. Pure freedom to act in your will. But anarchy doesn't mean doing what you want with no authorial check. If this is the case, rapists will run free on the streets and I'd rather go back to communist Russia than to see that happen. In this essay, I'll present a new form of Anarchy.
An anarchy based on respect
How can a country with no head tick? Or how can a chicken without a head walk forward? Simple, when there is no need for a head. IF the local populace is able to function as the authority itself, then there is no need for a governing authority. But this not going to work out. Leaders are needed even in an anarchy. Leaders to delegate work, manage taxes. A governing authority to manage the country. Then WTF? SOME ANARCHY IS THIS. Hold your horses there. In my anarchy, the leaders have zeo authority. No power, they act because the people let them.
To me, a leader is no different than a follower who is responsible for managing other group members. A leader is a role. Not a RANK. In other words, the term POWER does not exist and all members are in fact EQUAL with different jobs to do based on their talents. It does not give the appointed leader power. But then, without power, a leader cannot make his followers to act upon his will. Here's when the respect comes in. Followers will act based on their respect for the leader. It's like respecting advice.
A leader's orders is nothing but advice
If it's advice then you can either choose the listen or not right? If I do take the advice, it's because it clicks with my own will, i respect that the leader has done his research and come up with the best solution. But reasons for NOT listening would be because it DOESN'T click with my own will or that i don't understand WHY the leader wants this. So in this anarchy, everyone does things based on REASON. Because they understand and are happy with their orders. And happy workers (non-leaders) are productive workers are they not?
Police will not be needed as people respect each other. So the only welfare institutions would be the army, hopsitals and other stuff. Heh heh. Can't really think of everything.
However this process of understanding orders will take a shit long time.If CHINA is to go anarchaic, imagine the amount of flyers or whatnot must be printed to distribute to the people!!! It is almost darn impossible. Even in a small country in Singapore, the unhappy workers and leaders would have to go through a lot of reasoning and policy adjustments before anything can be implemented. So my anarchy is not possible.
Furthermore, not everyone is mature enough to handle this sort of reasoning process. So my anarchy is elitist. In my quest to eliminate elitism, i am actually spawning a elitist country! So what's going to happen to the immature, and probable, majority? They cannot be left out of this process or else the anarchy will never be fully built on respect and understanding. Education reforms? That's a probable solution but not guaranteed to work 100%. And sloths should be sent into exile. Those scumbags who will not work and drain resources will not be tolerated.
It is also terribly easy to disrupt the delicate balace in my anarchy. Sow a little dissent and it'll spread like wildfire among the nation and turn people against themselves. Without anyone to break the fight, the frenzied people will probably tear themselves to death.
And honestly, do you think people really want to work for respect? I can freaking buy over a prostitute's respect for under a hundred per night. Respect is not what people want and probably never will.
Anarchy, right idea, wrong species
Perhaps I shall build myself a spaceship and preach to other extraterrestrials out there who just might be receptive to my idea.

Who is currently wondering whether it's possilble to vote for anarchy
02 januari weird stuffNuff said
Martian Landing Balls? HAHAHAHAHA!!! Zomglol. Wonder WHERE did they come up with the idea. Some wise guy must've been having a one night stand before taking a look at his own and thought "I can send this to Mars!"
I saw one of these on offer on today's paper so i got a picture from google. (That's not my hand btw, it's a google hand lol) Anyway. Clabber girl? Is this some mockery of Singlish? Can totally imagine this conversation between 2 void deck aunties Auntie: Whoa your daurter very clabber hor, can go RGS
Lau Zhar Bo: Ya lor, everyday got go tootion one lei. If neber go RGS then waste money liao
Auntie: No la, she from very young, sibei clabber one. Remember that time she know which verytable to pass to me to cook?
Lau Zhar Bo: Haha, that time she still very cute. You know ah, my older daurter even more clabber.
Auntie: Raillee ah? Oh yah hor, she got company one right?
Lau Zhar Bo: Yah, she just set up new company, sell baking soda. The bland name is Clabber Girl. Next time you see must buy ah. Hahaha
Auntie: Ok la, help to support your clabber daurter's busyness.
ROFLOLMAO!!!! End of year reflectionsYes, it's pretty ironic that I'm doing my EOY reflections in the new year. Reason being that I was too busy to do it in 2008.
So here it begins. I think I'd like to begin my relfections with what I can give thanks for. I have been blessed wth many happy stuff this year as well as unhappy stuff. So let me count my blessings now.
1. Awesome class
2. Studying in VJC
3. New computer
4. Still have $$ in these times
5. Great friends
6. Found my dqrvosa dpzrpmr
7. Wonderful teachers
8. Bahnep
9. Sailors
10. I've been called to be God's child
And the list goes on. But there's also been alot of unpleasant stuff that's been going on last year that I'll like to bring out. Some are pretty nasty too.
I'd like to do something about my grades. All my life in VJ was spent thinking that A levels was really far away. I studied hard in IP1, got good decent grades but lost it in IP2. I lost motivation to study, so I played through IP2 and suffered the consequences. I played in JC 1 too. Didn't do my tutorials and stuff. In the end get BEEEB. I know I'm capable of getting better. But there's something just blocking me from reaching that A. I did study in J1 too. I did try. BUt for some reason, it didn't pay off. Maybe I'm studying wrongly or sth. I'm going to ask for help, humiliating it might be but compared to the humiliation of getting crap for the actual A levels, it's time to do something, right now. Time to get serious. There's still hope. I'm not stupid, i'm just... ...lazy
Life is terrible right now. I'm not used to it. I like having the time to sit down and think about life issues and about KI topics. But now life is like a sprint to the finish. tudy study study, sailing sailing sailing, test test test. There's hardly any time for myself! HOW??? I don't want this life! Why can't I quit school now? What I'm learning I probably will never use ever again. Look, why is there a TV show called: Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Because the average American CANNOT remember what they learnt in 5th grade! Let alone JC or whatever the American equivalent is. And the contestants have really credible academics. Some are doctors and stuff. Our education system is incredibly stupid. They want to give you a braod base or rather let you learn alot of different subjects. Reason being that you can determine what you want to pursue later in life. Good idea, wrong implementation. So we now have the system of contrasting subject. Why then, make it a A level examinable subject? If i'm really good in science, it probably means i suck at arts. So why make me do an arts subject? I know I'm not going to pursue arts, I don't need some stupid "holistic" education. All i need is my science subjects to get me through. So what happens is that I have to put in extra effort to study for my contrasting subject, usually at the expense of my better subjects and everything suffers.
A submarine was not made to destroy tanks. Nor was a spear designed to cut. Nothing can do everything, neither can people.
I think i'd rather skip the nasty parts and keep it locked in my brain.
So now on to my new year resolutions. This year, I've decided not to come up with a whole long list of things I should do which I can never finish and then feel real bad about it. I shall just come up with something general that should be my theme for the year. I've thought of one and here it is
Nothing Less
Do everything necessary to my best effort and never to shortchange myself of what I can accomplish. Truly, nothing less. Now I can start my new year resolution by finishing my incomplete holiday homework. Sianz...but it must be done...
Oh, school starts on the 12th of Jan. WHoohoo!!!
26 december lolphailJust a bit of phail that I came across while doing my research.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Bintan team trip 27th to 30th November 2008
27th November Thursday
All of us were gathered at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in the morning and making a hell lot of noise. Nothing much to record here. Our ferry's name was Arung Mendara. The same bloody ferry we saw the day before during our training and almost drove over us. DARN YOU ARUNG MENDARA!!! Ok, anyway once up the ferry I realised that there were no fixed seats. Darn. I couldn't get a seat. We managed to chope 2 rows of 3 seats. 1 row we dumped all our bags and then we all split from there. I went to sit with the sailors on the other row but not on the seat, on a STOOL! WHAT KIND OF FERRY RIDE IS IT WHEN YOU HAVE TO SIT ON A STOOL??? I was hugging a metal pole for support and to lean on too. Ferries should have fixed seating. Hmph.
Anyway once off the ferry things were smooth sailing. Once we got our rooms we went to explore the place. Our preconceived notions of bikini girls parading around were totally smashed. There was hardly anyone around at all. Well at least at our resort. Our part of the resort was the cheapo one so i guess the girls would have gone to the other more expensive and classy part of the resort.
Lunch was at this place called Pasar Oleh Oleh. Food was decent and reasonably priced but other than that the place was a ghost town. Shops with no one visiting. We were all wondering how the people make money here.
After that it was hardcore volleyball all the way. Dinner was cooked by ourselves heh heh. We brought food to cook. DInner was rice with luncheon meat and campbell soup. Rather filling actually. Post dinner activities consisted of talking cock through the night.
Oh and there were water monitor lizards all around the huts cuz there's this man made lake nearby. Scary but no one got bitten so just got to keep and eye out for where you're going. Interesting haha.
28th November Friday
Everyone was awake by 8.00 amazing innit? Breakfast was at the resort. It was nubbad. International buffet breakfast. After which, Sa, Yenreil, Jeanette and I went with Ju Lian's dad for an imba road trip to look for prawns. Why prawns? Because we wanted to go fishing. The road trip was immensely long and we came back waay after lunch. We circled Pasar Oleh Oleh, went into their local markets and stuff. In the end, we settled for sotong instead. But what we managed to do was to have a glimpse of local Bintan life. It sucks really. A far cry from the resort. Apparently, as Ju Lian's dad told us, gov. linked companies bought over some land here in bintan and developed it into a resort. So essentially where we were staying was a Singapore protectorate. Food is Singaporean, currency dealt is also in Sing dollars and even TIME was in singapore time although bintan time was 1 hour slower.
After lunch we went to rent canoes. Yenreil and I in one canoe, Sa and Jeanette in the other and JL's dad in the single canoe. And what are we doing in canoes? FISHING!!! Darn stupid idea I tell you. In the end, no fish. Even when Yenreil and I paddled far out also no fish. Sa and Jeanette were smarter, they went near the reefs to drop their jig line. They caught a few small fishes and got their lines all stuck. Frustrating. Sun was beating down on us and I was getting drowsy. Ohwell, we headed back at around 4.30 and went to explore the rocks at low tide. Jeanette, Sa, Chris, Yenreil and I were trying to navigate around giant boulders along the shore. I haven't done that since the team trip to thailand 2 years back. It was damn cool but also rather dangerous. I was smeagol-ling around all the rocks. Some of the rocks we had to climb had vertical surfaces, those were tough to climb. Since it was low tide, we also managed to pick up alot of nice shells. They had cowries at Bintan. I was quite surprised.
After our expedition, dinner was at the resort and we hung around the area. There was going to be some party tonight with a live band and "sexy dancers". And alcohol all around. Sounds decadent but I had to see what's it like. The band was nubbad and the sailors were all drinking Sex on the Beach with some complimentary drink. So it's about 3 glasses for each person. I didn't drink anything, I'm non-alcoholic and the drinks all tasted like cough syrup anyway. Yucks.
Once the "sexy dancers" came out i almost died laughing. All dressed up like school girls with pony tails and baring their midriff. The faces also cannot make it. They went around shaking hands with the audience while the band were playing their last few songs. I shook hands with them as a gesture of goodwill. Nothing more. Once the band ended they went up this seperate stage with 4 pedestals surrounding a central column and started dancing to terrible music and imba strobe lighting. THe seats were super comfortable. Some super wide sofa but I didn't go into the area. 1. I don't want to be associated with them girls 2. The lighting is going to give me an epileptic fit 3. The music was too loud. So i was sitting in a nearby tree house watching what was going on. Under the influence of alcohol (i think) most of the sailor guys went up to the stage to dance too. I was laughing my ass off at their moves. Soon, the other ang mohs joined in and literally squeezed the "sexy dancers" off the stage. SO they went around soliciting for *ahem. Bunch of topless sailor guys dancing around is an amusing sight. They were high but not drunk as they claim.
29th November Saturday
Today we were supposed to go visit the local town as proposed by JL's dad. It was a long ride there. Around 90 minutes. So all of us were asleep in the car since we were still tired from yesterday's partying. Once we arrived, I can't help but notice the similarity of Tanjong Pinang and the streets of Bangkok. Small crammed alleyways. Clogged drains. Street peddlers. The only difference was the type of stuff sold. Tanjong Pinang is not a tourist area so it's like a market. A real market selling dried goods, fish e.t.c. PSI there was damn bad. I could literally see the smoke particles flying everywhere. Most of us didn't like the area and wanted out ASAP. I didn't complain but i couldn't help but feel the same thing. This is a place where I DO NOT want to be in for long. So after our lunch in some foodcourt there. If you can even call it a food court. We were on our way back. But we stopped at some shopping center nearby to look around. I bought a pair of $4 slippers, a pair of $10 shorts and a $10 fishing vest. Everything in rupiah since we're out of the "protectorate". Oh and counting rupiah is a PAIN! All their denominations are HUGE! And i have a problem distinguishing the thousands and ten thousands. And the cashiers are scum. They look into your wallet and pick the notes they want. Bah! So much for consumer privacy...
Once back at the resort, it was volleyball. We were playing happily till this chinese ARMY swamped our spot. It started with 2 first. They couldn't play but their service was too good. So we decided to leave game. Chris and Wilbur still wanted to play. Then suddenly, the whole platoon came out from underground. We were playing soccer when it happened and OMG we got the shock of our lives...Chis and Wilbur had no choice but to leave game too. They returned our volleyball after our soccer. We washed up and took a dip in the pool while turning on our radar of course. The only consolation we had from the Chinese army was that they brought along this girl with a very pretty face. Haha. All of us were flapping around in the pool doing nth until i suggested water polo. Jeanette found a very elusive spot with water polo nets. Turned out to be a very bad idea. Note to self: Do not play water polo with sailors. Know why? We almost drowned and killed ourselves. Yea, that bad. I had to nerf the rules to turn it into captains ball in water with nets instead. The game got more peaceful and less dangerous. Poor Yenreil got kicked by Gabriel accidentally in the Solar Plexus while Gabriel was swimming away. Knocked the wind out of him lol. Had to rest on a rock for a while. It was dark and I was playing blind without my specs. Tough I tell you. Soon it was time to go back and shower and prepare for the next PARTAAAY!!!
We still had time before the partay started so we played some cherades before the party started. Cherades was madness, i've never had more fun playing cherades with any other group. We had more than a fair share of retarded hand actions and soon were ROFLing. Words thought by yours truly heehee. Here are some of the words I thought of, i wrote them down on my notebook, see if you can act it out.
Electrocuted doorknob
Wet cigarette
Madagascar
Bangladeshi clothing
Drying wall paint
Claypot toilet bowl
Non-instant instant noodle (my personal fav. Nobody could guess it hahaha)
Lazer sensor
Mean girls
Aweet and sour fishball noodle
Kim possible (ultimate WTF, Jeanette thought of this, nobody could do this one)
...The list goes on...
So all of us went to the party high and all giggly. The band was already playing and I lost track of what drinks they ordered. Very soon we found ourselves back on the sofa/beds watching the "sexy dancers". They were wearing a new outfit which would've looked much more sexy on someone with a better face. Apparently, the sailors drank more today. Drinking stuff like Blowjob, B52, Brain Haemorrage and stuff. I didn't drink of course. And they went up to dance of course. And so did the chinese army. *Facepalms They were there too...sadly...they were horrible dancers all they could do is shake and they all tried to get the "sexy dancers" to dance with them. Gosh. This time I sat on the sofas for a while before retreating to my treehouse once the strobe lighting was too much. Xuan and Norman accompanied me.
The following post-party activities were madness. All of them squeezed into my room creating havoc. The most drunk one was Sa who had 5 drinks. She was everywhere. Jumping here and there smacking people and forcing ppl to drink her Jack Daniels (some drink with very high alcohol content). I was trying to survive flying pillows, falling people and stuff. It was crazy. I cannot emphasize more. I managed to convince everyone to go back and sleep off the madness as we had to go back tmr. Honestly I just wanted to minimize damage to my room and to ppl, tempers were starting to flare up so gotta quickly put it out.
Finally, peace...
30th November Sunday
Today we woke up early and went to play...PAINTBALL WHEE!!!!
But honestly, it was a letdown. Too few bullets and the fame ended very fast. All i remember was being shot by Guan Hua in the side of the kneecap and it HURT! I also remembering shooting JL haha. Nth much to record today. Just to say that on the ferry ride back, we kiasu abit and chiong into the ferry (which happened to be Arung Mendara again) and chope 16 seats on the upper deck. We are super effective haha.
So ends our madness in Bintan. Training resumes next tuesday. Darn
24 november Life reflections...Life is epic busy right now. Got so much on my hands... So many camps to go and so many things to do. But so far I've just attended a motorboat course at SAFYC sembawang. It has been an intriguing experience.
On the 22nd Nov, the whole lot of us were sitting in a little room with a weird teacher and some other CL ppl taking the course. The teacher was this old man whose standard falls short only to the sports dinner's guest of honour. He was EPIC boring... ...and he goes on about other random shit like how dolphins are friendly intelligent creatures and sharks have rough skin...No wonder the stupid course ended at 7.30pm. The motorboat course was a shit load of common sense. Things to do and not to do were quite obvious. But I must admit that I wouldn't think of some of the more "obvious" things to do. Theory was bad, thankfully practical was better.
We got a nice instructor for practical. Nice guy, looks like a PRC but later we decided he wasn't. He used to sail and let us drive the motorboat at top speed, which was not exactly very fast and tolerated all our stupid rubbish. The sailors were all able to master the manouvers very quickly and were able to do everything properly by the next day. Yes, it's over 2 days. And at the end of it all. I gladly say MOTORBOAT LESSONS, GTFO MY FACE!!!!111
Muahahahaha, now tiem to go NSRCC to try on harnesses and go changi village to buy fishing equipment. 21 november I LOL'DI was doing research for Bahnep and i came across this article while finding out satellites can harass ppl. And...

Pure pseudoscience with bad grammar thrown in altogether.
