hi all, happy halloween. since everyone's reflecting on their high school life, i think i can't miss out on it too or i would be too heartless like kanye west.
obviously sec 1 and sec 2 weren't the most happy days of my life because i would have spent it hating half of the class or doing something stupid, so our d class was probably the most ununited class (so much for dynamic). not like we would have taken a class photo like a and c class anyway because our dear joyce isn't here no more. ya, but absolutely no regrets for all i've done then. "im not your bitch, don't hang your shit on me."
and then flipping through the report book, i realised it was sec 1 that i got c5 for lit probably because of the lack of knowing how to write essaies because miss tan wasn't here till term 2, screwing up my msg while other subjects were a1 and a2. sec 2 wasn't that good either although i improved to a b3 for lit from diva's class, because my english, chinese and science dropped to b3, screwing up my msg even further.
sec 3 was a much better year because theres no more hateration in the class. became relative more fun class. and sec 4 was an even more fun year because... we have a common goal of great entertainment in class? the card business don't know operate for how many months already, and it was great bonding because nearly the whole class was involved in it. wow if this was accepted in the model class award form, we would have won for class spirit and bonding.
and then ya, lots of great friends. but unlike ky, for me, new friendships are forged, but the old ones are nearly mostly forgotten because a lot (but less compared to other classes) left for cse, leaving me with only saying hi to them, probably other than xujun and yupei.
also, not to forget the great fun in bsc, helping me lose my interest in short touring, where i made more friends too. lots of unforgettable memories, from "donkeypunching" vids, to aaron's big load of you know what, to zx's sleeptalk, to ky stealing my chips, to lester twisting his ankle (or was it a sprain) like chiucc. apparently, what i remember from bsc isn't about china, but about what you all did there. hope to be able to go on a long long trip, to places with internet connection.
last but not least (actually i have a lot to say but don't dare to say out), i would like to thank every teacher, let me try to recall what i can remember about them.
sec 1: miss tan (english/lit): extremely knowledgeable and competent teacher, glad to have her teach me for 3 years. miss tan (chinese): or is it madam or mrs? i don't know, but she has a loud voice, and something great just like other elder female teachers, undescribable. miss cai (maths): sun tattoo on her back. most likely can't remember me. mrs teo (lss): long live mrs teo. i regretted disliking her in sec 1. many unforgettable quotes, "you must be joking ah", "if you want to be outstanding, i can let your be out standing.". a pity out class wasn't badass enough to get her to scold the f word. miss ling (history): left after 1.5 years, that was fast. her teaching was well, extraordinary. whole day videos. she actually still uses the account where she put hci in the hotmail address. miss sunita (geog): who could forget her fantastic sarcasm, and the never ever laugh at her own jokes face. allergic to cocoa, yeah she told me.
sec 2: miss tan mentioned, miss sunita mentioned miss teo (chinese): damn loud voice. forever energetic. miss pek (maths): great artist. project mentor, helped me get a b+. mrs chua (chem): damn fast. mrs chai aka diva (lit): love to sq. amiable teacher. flyer distributing teacher. mr ho (history): typical male teacher? he looks a little unhappy to me. mr lim (geog): although teach half a year only but he could still remember me. nothing much to complain about him. great. mr koh (is): thanks for passing my c++. what a kind teacher. mr sng (is): happy marriage. if it wasn't allowed to refer to others for c++ test, i would have failed.
sec 3: miss tan mentioned. miss lee (chinese): extreme gentleness. miss tong (maths): the most caring and friendly teacher i have ever ever seen. thanks for sending a note during this year eoy to encourage us. mr yap (physics): why leaving so soon? mrs seck (chem): my thumbdrive is still with her lol. glad to have her follow up to sec 4. mrs chan (ihc): still marvelling at her ability to get people to quiet down for a long time by just saying keep quiet. love her short tabled notes and little bible. miss yap (geog): another very friendly and kind teacher.
sec 4: mrs seck mentioned, mrs chan mentioned, miss yap mentioned. mrs wong (english): not bad, very friendly too. mdm chiu (chinese): injures herself frequently? very o-level oriented? memorable sometimes-self-derogatory english "i.t retarded", "go to hell". miss siew (maths): never punctual, damn friendly, occasional sudden scary flareups and back to normal with just a blink of an eye. mr tieu (physics): thanks for improving my physics. great to "come" to your lessons. miss gwee (geog): sorry for telling you the wrong date for paper check. the disneyland ppt must have sucked quite a bit.
wow that sure was a long post, but thanks to everyone in my high school life, even to those i wasn't on good terms with. don't feel like going over to jc, quite love life at the high school side.
"flames to dust, lovers to friends, why do all good things come to an end?"
this is adam lambert's album cover??? this piece of gay shit is absolutely a gay porn dvd cover. and wth its like some sort of 80s pathetic album cover inspired by star trek, especially the 80s hard rock album cover like words. it's like a fatter p!nk with blue hair and an air of gayness instead of sowhatness. it's so disgusting it's gonna be rated as one of the worst album covers of all time. and with that disgusting title "for your entertainment", it gets more disgusting, especially if you imagine him saying that so gayly in front of you. this is like some sort of a love brokeback movie, where a gay stares up to the night sky, and the stars in the sky forms a picture of his love, adam lambert. it's so barfy shit.
this can be turned into another internet meme where people show their friends this pic and secretly film down their reaction, just like how millions of people are doing it for 2girls1cup and uploading the videos to youtube.

more updates on our future megastar: 23/10/2009 - cui sheng successfully hijacked the aphelion day auditions and is going to perform on aphelion day concert. please give him your support. a summary of what happened during the audition: some random guy singing, and cui sheng went up to the stage, grabbed the microphone and said "now boy, i know you got great singing, but i'm sorry, i gotta say that i have the best singing of all time. so step aside and let yopoppa show you what real singing is. watch and learn". so as usual, our future megastar mesmerised the onlookers and the judges with his stunning vocals. although he forgotten some lyrics for the song he was singing, this minor setback cannot be compared to the major achievements he would be achieving in the near future. so the judges and audience, with standing ovations, all agreed that he has to be singing in the official concert, only lacking of turning aphelion day into a solo cui sheng concert, which would have grossed over $20million in this one show, due to time constraint for practises.
album sales revival now has hope as cui sheng will cover for all album sales with his soon-to-be critically acclaimed highest selling albums of all time. the future king of music's (not only pop) career starts now! what's the king of pop and king of rock n' roll compared to our all rounded (literally) cui sheng?
I'm re-inventing my way of editting lyrics by listening to the song and writing out what i think the singer's singing about, so here's my first time from shakira's 'she wolf". i really can't hear clearly from that ultra transformed voice and occasional fast speaking.
What I Heard From “She Wolf” Lyrics edited by: DATF Original song: Shakira’s “She Wolf”
Fatso ass she’s in disguise Fatso ass she’s in disguise There’s a she wolf in disguise Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
I don’t like this gay, Girl that’s all you asked for me Darling this is no joke, This is the counterfeit
Who’s a wanker? Thighs wide open Body’s gravin’ Ninja hungry
I’ve been in the podium myself till Monday to Monday and Friday to Friday Not getting enough retribution I guess a sentence to keep me at it Startin’ to feel just a little confuse like a coffee machine on the outfit So I’m going to go somewhere closer and get a lover and tell you about it
There’s a she wolf in the closet Open open sadist feet There’s a she wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breathe
Sittin’ across the bar starin’ right up and pray It’s goin’ well so far she’s gonna get her way I turn a lecher and that’s so voodoo Boo’s my teacher, add her student
To look at the single man I got only a special radar On the bar department hot money get in trouble later I’m lookin’ for cute little deebles? with pitch that these guys just want to enjoy Havin’ a very good time when we get free bad in the arms of the good boys
There’s a she wolf in the closet Open open sadist feet There’s a she wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breathe
Fatso ass she’s in disguise Fatso ass she’s in disguise There’s a she wolf in disguise Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
Fatso ass she’s in disguise Fatso ass she’s in disguise There’s a she wolf in disguise Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up
There’s a she wolf in the closet Let it out so it can breathe

this is probably the most danceable album i've heard since madonna's "confessions on a dance floor". it's quite catchy with those latino beats, and makes you want to shake continuously throughout this album. but the songs have some creepy sounds, such as in the starting of "she wolf", where shakira's voice has been transformed into some sort of undecipherable and "rinking" voice. "rinking" has no meaning though, the voice just sounded like that random word to me. and also in "men in this town", sometimes there's some sort of high pitched e.t. saying more undecipherable crap and the only thing i think i heard from that gibberish is "suicide". well, i suppose latinos are always this weird, like the grandma in drag me to hell.
hi everyone, today's quite happy day for me, because i got just enough for my physics (68/100) to get me an a1 overall for physics, unless the teacher doesn't give me sympathy and decides to make 74.55 become 74. also my e maths got an 82 which, yes another a1. and a maths 86, yet another a1. thank god for that a maths a1. and the teachers were marking so leniently after their a&e unit had a meeting to give the marks as long as you get your concept right, meaning you get marks for showing that you know what to do, even if you screw up your process or your ans. fyi, a&e unit, according to ms siew, really means the accident and emergency unit, not a maths and e maths unit. but my ihc is not that lucky, only getting a 20/30. so to get an a2 for my ih, i need 22/30 for my ihe, but obiously thats so unlikely, so i had to revise my aim to b3, meaning i only need 12/30 for ihe to get a b3 for ih.
and then i had to stay till 4pm to receive the 自强不息 award, although i think i don't deserve la, not trying to be humble here, but really, i don't. and please don't ask me anymore what i did to get it. i did nothing. the certificate is nicely framed up, and well, there's no cash voucher or anything else. did they like spend it on buying the plastic frames for the certificate?
anyway speaking of 自强不息, let's talk about the ugly fake stone in front of black a. it's like a burial ground saying 自强不息 is dead, as can be seen from the ground around the tombstone being so recently dug. the rock is so fake, and then plants of purple, yellow, brown or something rad and loud are being placed around it, which totally doesn't fit.
shit, i can't upload any pictures. the upload speed is so damn slow it's killing me. sometimes i feel like punching through my laptop screen although i know it's not the laptop screen that caused the immobile upload.

after 26 stagnant and boring weeks on the hot 100, black eyed peas would be boomzed out this week from no.1 by jay sean, as his "down" moves up the chart, some irony. in one way im happy that no mor bep domination anymore, in another way, im quite sad that "i gotta feeling" cannot break mariah's "we belong together" 16 week no.1 record and give her a double boomz with her album debuting at no.3.
but how did nielsen soundscan count it's albums anyway. according to them barbra streisand earns her 9th no.1 album this week, beating out paramore. it shouldn't have been. billboard is such a boomz this week.
im so happy to find out that mariah will debut at no.3 in this week's billboard 200. so she will still continue to have 6 no.1 albums. it's also a great drop from her previous album's 1st week sales, from 463000 in "e=mc2" to around 170000 in this highly "imperfect" album (as usual). so my estimate for it's total sales would be less than 2 million, beating her previous "e=mc2" to become her lowest selling studio album.
im also happy to find out that barbra streisand will debut at no.2, higher than mariah, and yet not scoring a no.1, so she will continues to have 8 no.1 albums.
and then as expected, madonna's greatest hits collection debuts not very high, at a no.7. so madonna is still stuck in the middle with 7 no.1 albums, she will catch overtake barbra streisand soon enough if she decides to release a studio album soon.
and then guy oseary, madonna's manager, is such a big liar. he said on twitter that madonna's greatest hits album has sold nearly 2 million copies in 2 weeks. thats such a great fat lie loh. it wont even sell 500000 in the 1st 2 weeks. 2 million is probably like the final estimated sales, although i would really wish it sold 2 million in 2 weeks.
280. previously material world, currently virtual world
i know our school students have great views, but i'm sorry, i gotta say that these are their views and that dr. hon has the best views of all time.
but i pretty much like dr. hon's discussion because i get to hear crappy replies and also post one myself. although this time round the replies on mousehunting and stuff is quite fun, i still think the replies on hwa chong myths are the funniest of all time.
facebook should create virtual facebook dollar such that we can use it in every application, and when we're sick and tired of that app, we can park our money in another application, so it won't waste those golds or whatsoever we earned. but then it will probably turn into something like neopets, where neopoints inflate like maybe 2% to 4% a day, which means yearly hyperinflation of maybe 3000%, although not as bad as zimbabwe dollars?
also, since there's so much unemployed people, and the government's so concerned about the environment and economy, why not hire people to sort out trash so that nearly all recyclable trash would be recycled. and since there's so much trash a day and so much unemployed people, it would be able to generate tons of jobs and so much less pollution from the burning of trash. landfilling can also be slowed down drastically, and there would be no need for recycling bins.
madonna and lady gaga at saturday night live yesterday.
carrie underwood's "cowboy casanova" is like a gwen stefani song, just that it's more oldhouse. but it's normal enough, nothing really interesting about it. i was hoping with an interesting alliterated title, it would have weird, funky lyrics, something like shania twain's "that don't impress me much". play it safe, well ok.
result: 4.5/5
well, with excess time from no motivation to study ihc, i decided to listen to some korean pop. listening through g-dragon's "heartbreaker", 4minute's "muzik", and snsd's "gee", i feel that those songs sound more act cute/cool, which is like no way would i listen on.
so then i remembered snsd's "genie", which comparatively, sounds more mature, other than the front part, and the redundant "d.j, put it back on" part. the beats are softer and not that eurodance, so it sounds professional. but then the mv is like no relation, other than when they sit in the lamp. why would they wear military suits to perform a song about genies and wishes? and even if they wanted to dance in military suit, they should have chose a place which is more military like, and not a purple stage. so the video of them dancing on the helipad would make a better mv. they would be better off putting belly dancing or arabian dance into pop songs. but i still dislike 9 people squeezing in a picture dressing like female gundam characters.
