"See that's what you get for arguing with science."
Simmons - Chapter 4: Recovering One - Red vs Blue: Revelations

Don't argue with the science. The new episode of Revelations is out. And is epic³

Anyways my day was awesome! I messed with Yen Wei! And I managed to lose my pencil case too. Then later I managed to use Mr Wong's D80. He said that I could keep his camera till tomorrow if I can't find him. Luckily I managed to find him...I felt incapable of keeping a $2000 camera for the night. Also I forgot to bring my key to school. Luckily this morning I managed to catch the gate before it closed so I didn't notice till I went home. When I did, I was with Jerremy so I could go in without a key. And so now I has my key in my wallet! XD My friend uploaded my class photos from primary school! Now I has my chocolate back! And has a sore throat too! Ok this is basically it from me. Viva La Vida

Friends - XKCD

Oh how I love XKCD quotes...
Well its no secret by now...everyone knows that I love Amelia.
I remember that I used to walk her to the bus stop in front of my house. We chatted while she waited for her bus...then when she left I waited online to chat with her...Those were better days...I miss them...

Oh well on to my day...
Today was an awesome day...leave out the part where I found out that Amelia thinks that I'm a jerk and its pretty awesome. Today was the Opening Ceremony Performance day. I left the house at about 12 Noon and was pretty early. We did a few warm ups before getting some light makeup...a little bit of foundation and lip gloss. Boys were not exempted from it...except for the blusher. I'm pretty used to the feeling of lip gloss...in P3 I was forced by my form teacher to participate in a dance item so I had to use glittery blue lip gloss. I enjoyed the dance quite a bit even though I was forced. Anyways, we did a sound check at the hall. Mrs Erp called me to the side then asked me why I didn't come for the last two practices...I thought she was going to ask me to do an audition. Then she said ok then I ninja jumped back up. Then went back to the choir room for lunch. Then later I got a headache and Ms Wang gave me Panadol. Its a lot harder to swallow something with little water...God it tasted bitter.
We changed into our costumes then I had a nap. (Side note: Shoe boxes don't make a really good pillow)Then I got woken up for warm ups. We had to re-apply the lip gloss. Then we went back to the ITMRL. I let Danial use my iPhone too. We then went to the hall for the epic³ performance. We were like OMG when Mr Mike Chiang was in his suit. He looked effing awesome. I hope we get to see him again. I will miss you and your awesome.Your awesome sense of humour and your awesome sense of style and your awesome conducting. Even if you did drop your stick thing. Anyways, we nearly got it perfect this time...nearly. Then we went up to the ITMRL.(I was jumping 3/4 of the way there hi-5ing random people.) We had a debrief and we got dismissed. I got changed out of my costume...accidentally leaving about 2 sweets in the pants pocket. I stayed for awhile before following Yek Liang to the hall to watch. Then I started to hi-5 more people. Later I went down and said hi to Mr Han. He said to help myself to the chips and stuff...I accidentally spilled some coke on my coke flavoured lollipop. I walked home slowly. Enjoying the cool breeze. As soon as I got back home I crashed and woke up at 11PM. Ok so that's the end of my day.

Oh yes to the owner of ip address: 218.186.9.253 you are now probably banned from this site...and can't even read that...
Heres another XKCD comic to end(I'm the boy in this situation.)

"If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will."
Nadia Afif

Isn't it an awesome quote? Found it lurking on the interwebs of Facebook. Gratuities to Nadia Afif for writing it and letting me use it too. Thanks XD³ It reminds me of my life...I love you ******<~~~~censored) I'm not seriously going to show you guys who I love to the whole world! But do take note my dear I LOVE YOU!

Sunday:
It was pretty uneventful day except that I had to go for my grandfather's Birthday. It rained on our barbecue. So we moved it to the porch. Who knew that sitting in a soft chair staring at the rain could be so calming.

Monday:
Well firstly there was a rehearsal on the day...we practiced until about 7PM then we went home. While waiting, I managed to pwn all of the Tap Tap challengers... also we left class early and got free food! XD Hahas! Also Mr Ibrahim said that he'll show the link I gave him to the class.

Today!
Well first off I had to go for choir at 6.45 am cos we had to perform to the school during assembly...It was epic² and also parts of the song made me have shiver a bit cos the atmosphere was pretty creepy...then Ms Su was sick today and we had a free period. Then me, Dominic Lam, Yen Wei got to leave class at 12.35pm since we had to go for a workshop for the F1 In Schools Competition. We learnt some basic general knowledge. Tomorrow we get to try the SolidWorks software to make a prototype car design. Highlight of my day was that I got to sit in Mr Khaw's car. It feels weird sitting in a teachers car...Dominic said he got to sit in a Bentley...Yes, a Bentley its effing expensive! And also he told me that Ryan from 2H is a worthy opponent for me to challenge Tap Taping skills against. To end here is the name of a Facebook fan page I found:

'How Do You Spell Gay? J-U-S-T-I-N B-I-E-B-E-R

Baring My Heart - XKCD

You are the one...the one who I think I want to spend the rest of my life with...the one who can always make me smile...even on the darkest of my days. The one who I want to spend my nights talking to. The one who I will always wait for. The one who I will dream about. The one that I admire. That person is you and only you...if you happen to come across this always know that I love you. Always.

Thinking about that takes my mind off the fact that Jerkasses are abundant in this world.

Anyways onto my day...
Part one of my day: Full dress rehearsal for the School Opening Ceremony. Well everything sounds awesome...especially the lotus section of the song. A certain person or two took my bottle and then aggressiveness ensued and lets just say that I got my bottle back. I need someone to film the performance for me! Also heard that the 4 lucky people that get to eat the dinner there get an eight course dinner. And the
pièce de résistance is the dessert. Which I likened it to 'ambrosia' and also 'food that fell from the heavens'.

Well anyways I'm in the process of trying to make a GIF so I can have a shooting star in my upper atmosphere part of my blog background. And a bigger background...bigger than the previous target of 1680x7000. It doesn't cut it anymore I need 1680x8000 now...cos of my really long posts. Also I'm moving on to XML coding. XHTML, CSS, HTML tutorials are completed.

I need to sleep so stay safe and goodnight!

"Come with me. Let me walk in through the world that I currently stay in. You can take a look around and tell me if I’m mistaken. You can meet and talk to everybody that I live with. Maybe you could tell me why everybody’s so distant. Is it me or maybe, when I look around daily. I don’t even know the people I can put my trust in lately. People that I used to hang with now their acting so different. I’m still the same person why doesn’t anybody listen. Can somebody please just explain to me. What happened to the way that we always said we’d be. Right now I don't know why I push through the pain that I got through. And I’m losing hope."
The Hard Way - The Rising Tied - Fort Minor

I wonder what happened between us...I remember days where we used to keep each other company till the end of the day. We were like the Three Musketeers. Bestfriends. Well the past is the past. Friendships will never last forever one by one we will eventually leave this earth. I want to go back to the start when we first met. Well I wish the both of you all the best with your own lives.

So on to my semi-awesome day.

I don't think much of anything happened today...other than getting owned by Mavis at Table Soccer and seeing the epic table soccer battle between Mavis and Mr. Izham. and I bought a chocolate bar that I owe Wei Hao.Ok I'm out of ideas...
Oh yes Jodi and Jerremy are currently locked out of their house. Hope they don't have to sleep outside tonight.

To end my post here is plain old(accurate) MLIA logic:
"Today, I realized that if Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus traded voices, they'd sound normal. MLIA."

It seems that due to my recently extremely long posts...I have managed to overshoot my blog background size...so to compensate a new background is in the works...probably going to have an aurora and a new nebula added too. But the design will relatively be the same with the awesome planet with lens flare on top. I also need a music playlist. My current one has some stupid copyright thing on it so it doesn't work. Also I must remember to add a wishlist on my blog.

Now onto my day!
During PE I managed to finally pass my Standing Broad Jump. First attempt I slid on the ground and fell backwards. Second attempt I managed to do 2 meters. Then later while walking around during PE I tried doing Pull-Ups(not the inclined kind, the actual pull-ups). On my third try I did three...an achievement if I say so myself...but after I let go, my elbows hurt like it was hit by Dominic Gil.

Also during D&T we made a contraption for our simple machines study. My group got to make a scale.

Then later at 2PM the choir and band left early because of the rehearsal. Lucky us! XD In about an hour we got a huge load better at singing it. On the last part of the song, I sang as loud as I could control my pitch. I might be able to do louder but I'm afraid that I might go off pitch. But I'll never know until I try.

Also I finally got a shot that I am fully proud of. Look at the clarity of the sun in it. It's a perfectly round circle. Also during Choir I had a beautiful view of the sun creeping down behind the trees. But in like 2 minutes that rare photo opportunity disappeared. I have a few more(or a lot more) to show but I'll add them to my Facebook album.

To end my post is the picture of the above mentioned sunrise:

"You were afraid that you would disappear, That you would be lost and forgotten. I held you tight against the dark and said that I would always come for you. Then one day it happened. You were torn from my arms and vanished from this world. Maybe you don't remember my promise. But I meant every word. I hope you are not afraid, wherever you are. You don't need to be. I'm not. I will find you."
Find You - XKCD

I want to tell you everything I want to tell you how much I love you...I want to write it out in big text and announce my love for you...but we both know that you don't share the same feelings for me...thinking about all this makes me see that you will always stay in my heart no matter what you do to me..."First loves will always stay in your heart."

Anyways on to yesterday...(Yes! yesterday!)
Yesterday I fell asleep after I came home from sending my mother off to Australia. I was planning to write my post about it yesterday but I fell asleep earlier than expected...I seem to be sleeping early these days...

Now onto today!
Well nothing that eventful happened today...I went to school. I managed to beat Ms Jacqueline at checkers. First person to beat her! Hahas XD then later I finally got beaten by grace at table soccer...my winning streak has ended. But I started a new one with the defeat of a team of two against me. I wants to challenge Mavis next. Then when I came back home at 5, I watched some Ellen, then went to my room and accidentally fell asleep until 8.45PM then I went online to send Ms Siti the Marina barrage photos that I took.

Till tomorrow! But for now here is a quote!

"But on and on, From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep, I'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me, I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care. Ohh...Did you want me to change? Well I've changed for good, And I want you to know that you'll always get your way, I wanted to say…Don't you shiver, Shiver...Sing it loud and clear, I'll always be waiting for you."

MLIA is an awesome site just like IMMD but only awesomer. The direct opposite of MLIA is FML
and the opposite of IMMD is LFMF.

Anyways tomorrow my mother is going to Australia to get her Phd in nursing...seeing her off at her airport...after she leaves I will have no privacy on my computer at all as my grandmother
will be moving my whole computer table outside beside her TV.

In other news I've started liking K/J-Pop something I have never thought I'd ever like. Now I have added V6 to my (TBC)Fan of section of my blog too.(I'll make it tomorrow if I have enough time)Also after getting a few suggestions from June I'm going to go scan through all the rest...From Big Bang to G Dragon to SNSD. XD

At the current moment I'm multitasking learning HTML while typing this and captionifying whole album adding a few new pictures and editing a video...also listening to The Mysterious Ticking Noise.

To end my post here is some Harry Potter/MLIA awesomeness:
"Today, I was walking around our bookstore when I found the Harry Potter bookmarks. There was one of Snape standing there, looking down his nose. I starting singing The Mysterious Ticking Noise and had just gotten to the second 'Snape, Snape, Severus Snape' when a girl about thirteen or fourteen jumped out from behind the bookmark shelf and screamed, "DUMBLEDORE!" before running out. This is to you, random Harry Potter fan. MLIA."

And this too!:
"However on the downside multitasking will only work on the iPhone 3GS, which kinda sucks for some but not for me! 'Cos I have it!" Jessica Chobot - IGN Daily Fix 4/8/10

Well anyways according to Jessica Chobot the new iPhone OS4.0 will allow multitasking. That would be so awesome considering how many times I've had to restart my game of Tap Tap because of a phone call.

Anyways on to my day...
Firstly A few teachers from Hongkong went into my class to see how we conduct our lessons in Singapore. The class was eerily quiet during the maths period..no screaming, no booing...nothing and everybody sat at their own place for once.

Secondly...during the school opening ceremony rehearsal, Choir got drowned out by the band and CO. Also I noted a visual cue for when to start singing the last part. Also since we needed to check our costumes,they released us at about 7.30 pm. I met Jodi downstairs and waited for Jerremy. I took a few pictures of the school at night then played Tap Tap with Jodi in the pitch black canteen. 3/4 through the song, Jerremy came and gave us a half a rock cake. Then Jie Ying came and told me that I left my file in the Choir room...which was already locked.(NOOOOOOOO<-----big No) The walk back home with them was uneventful(so I'll skip this part)

Once I reached home, I went straight to my bathroom to get a nice cool shower. After getting clothed I fell onto my bed and slept for about 30minutes. After I woke up, I ate my dinner and started my crash course on HTML coding and later I got a little ahead of myself and started to delve into CSS and JavaScripting. Anyways I has to sleep...its already 12...to end I'll just add another quote.:

"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry, You don't know how lovely you are, I had to find you, tell you I need you..."

"You might be a big fish, in a little pond, doesn't mean you've won, 'cuz there'll only come, a bigger one."
Lost! - Coldplay

Lately I've been quoting songs quite a bit. Some hold messages others hold my feelings and all the rest are those that I found interesting. Like the next one expresses my feelings. This is one of my feelings quotes:

"So I look in your direction, But you pay me no attention, do you?, I know you don't listen to me, 'Cos you say you see straight through me, don't you?"

So my current goal is to add a quote or two to every new post I make.

Anyways I'm currently in the process of firebugging all the blog pages on my link list. Page deconstruction is going to be fun...from my recent page check, the most well made ones are Mavis' and Amelia's blog pages...but since I'm moving in an alphabetical order Mavis' blog page will have to wait until I reach M so its now Amelia's blog's turn for deconstruction.

So today I saw Mateen acting as a girl for a Literature exercise...I'll add the photos later and add the link right here! Then later 2F/G/H/I went to the Marina Barrage...it was totally awesome!!! XD
I saw the miniaturised version of how the dam actually works. I had forgotten to take pictures off the first parts but I did take pics of the kites and stuff for my Randomscenes album. But there is a special dedicated album just for pictures of the Barrage. Pictures for it on the link here! I had a few more picture ideas but Mateen snatched it out of my hands at a crucial moment when we were parallel to the Double-Helix bridge. And also managed to spam Jodi's message inbox too.

I should make a to do list of what I want to accomplish by the end of the year for my blog...like to write a new post every 3 days or maybe make a new background cos I think my background is too small at the moment...but it can wait cos now its my time to leave. Also Red Vs Blue: Revelations episode 2 is coming out tomorrow. XD
