anime recommendation!

I spent yesterday night and today watching Clannad and Clannad After Story (up to 8th episode - still ongoing). 16 hours of anime!
They are pretty good to watch, with lots of eye candy to see. I LOVE eye candy. Lots of tear jerking moments and if you don't cry at least once, you are not human. And it's still ongoing!

Life revolves around a male protagonist who is a delinquent in his final year in senior high and throughout the first season he meets 5 girls and other interesting characters in and out of school. In the end, he chooses 1 girl to love and the end. In the 2nd season, for until the part that I watched, they are still in school. If the anime were to follow the visual novel on the PS2 or PC, in fact, the After Story only includes the part after graduation and the love life of the guy and the girl. Ai ya, I dunno anything, must wait long long cos every episode comes every week.

Sian, I go find other animes to recommend soon.

Verdict: Clannad - 8/10 Clannad After Story - 8.5/10 (at this point)

shortest ever party

Party at Tim's house.
I didn't know he had another house somewhere else. I went to his actual home nearby my home and no one was there except his maid. Then I called him and I found out that he had a secret hideout.

Party started at 5pm.
I came at 6pm.
The house was empty, except for a large floor space. A lone TV and a PS2 sat at one side. A gambling den was set up in front of the steps to the second floor.

Party ended at 8.30pm.
Why? Too many drunkards in the house. They actually left me out. -.- They drank my litre of absolut mango without me knowing that it was gone. I was in shock. No way they could finish it that fast.

Why did they have to drink so early? At least start the hardcore drinking at 11pm!!! And I thought that they are sucky drinkers. 2 litres of 40% alcohol and all the drinkers dying already? Come on lah.

I went home at about 11pm. So Kenneth and I had this conversation after the party. We laughed at their poor drinking skills.

EDIT: 19 people came. I left out the most important suspect who wanted the party to take place who drank siao siao but never died in the end - darren.
Final Tally: 19 people. 5 puking like shit and dying.
Yes, they all suck as drinkers. I've ever seen less people drinking even more than what they have drunk.

We need to put up some rules for drinking to make a party last longer and make it less of a suffering to the drinkers and the cleaners of their puke!

Here goes:
1. Don't go hardcore till late at night. Starting after dinner is a no-no, as it kills the spirit of a party.
2. Eat more before you drink and as you drink, you eat.
3. Drink water before you drink and as you drink.
4. Know your limit. If you suck at drinking, don't follow the rest, because the feeling after that will suck, and you will make a mess that someone else or you have to clear up.
5. If you do the above and still drink, you will become fat, so drink less.

To relieve the drinkers from suffering and a hangover later on:
1. Take Pepto Bismol/Antacid.
2. If stomach is ok, a lot of orange juice is good. If stomach is not ok, a lot of water is good. Alternatives include apple juice, gatorade. The thing is: hydration! So no caffeine and tea.
3. Eat sugar-filled foods. Don't have? Eat sugar lah!
4. 2 ibuprofen.

To cure hangovers:
Bananas, eggs, water, gatorade, fruit juice.

Important to assign non-drinkers to clean up their puke and relieve the drunkards. Get plastic bags, detergent, mops, beds, etc.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE TEACHER!!!! omg omg omg omg. sick.

this is dumb and stupid

Since yesterday, 2 videos have been making it's rounds around the internet. Some mega wild birthday prank by a bunch of girls in acjc that was posted on Youtube on 30th September was flamed by the online community. It started on the HardwareZone forums, where it attracted 4k views by 11pm. The next day at 12pm, it had already attracted 18k views and it comes with a 27 page long thread. UPDATE: At 7pm, 26k views.

Today, it has been posted on stomp, the ultimate kpkb website that is linked to the press. And it is taking the front page of that Singapore Seen (the website you never want yourself to be seen on, i mean seriously). Screw the stompers, because they are starting to make a mountain out of molehill. The retard stomper, who brought the matter from HWZ to stomp must be the ultimate retarded whistleblower. This person called outrage (He/She made a special account to post this shit) went on and exaggerated the matter with an article that can make a reader feel so shocked. Then in the comments part they talk all sorts of crap like call MOE, call acjc, call principal, call parents, call authorities. They jump to conclusions like what have they been teaching in acjc and they lament about singapore youths and what other bullying could have happened in the school.

The 2 videos have been taken off, but apparently, the stompers are trying to upload them for everyone's viewing. This is the horrible truth about stompers. They are a bunch of kaypoh singaporeans. I won't be surprised if it appears in the newspapers tomorrow.

I know lots of people will be thinking: poor girl, poor whatever. But it's been like 1 and a half months since the incident. All that talk is just... senseless and useless. A waste of bandwidth and people's time.

Mr Kyaw appears at the end of the 2nd video to tell the girls off. I don't know whether he may be implicated in this matter. I don't know how will it end. I only know that acjc is going to be tarnished in some way.

I do know who started it all on the HWZ forums. I've been monitoring the situation since I saw the thread just being created. This guy told me back via sms: "Holy shit!! I didn't know it would cause an uproar... Shit Shit Shit!!" That shows that he regretted creating the thread. He didn't meant for it to blow up. When the videos were first posted, the only way to access them was to type "acjc" in the Youtube search bar, and they only attracted 200 or less views (I somehow saw them before when I was searching for other videos). Now, they have been extracted out from the blue and they are gaining online attention. He thought that the thread would disappear into oblivion, like almost every thread out there. But what was done is done. The damage is done, and it is growing.

What can I do? Just let the events unfold. The media is far too powerful for the individual to control. If you go to the front page of the stomp website, it is the first thing you see. But at the moment, Singapore Seen cannot be entered, probably due to some hackers.

Update:

Someone said:
"just now 987 got talked about it...lol
worst of all is...it says 'a teacher came and stop the students...
but the teacher did not stop the students because of what they are doin,
but because it might dirtied the school compound and they have to clean up.'"

One retard said on someone's blog:
"ACJC is supposed to be an institution with christian values.
It is shocking and unbelievable to see the public humiliation and indignity done to a fellow human being and in this case, a young girl who may have to live forever with the emotional scars and hurts with possible depression and who knows - it might even be a suicide trigger as I have heard yearly of a significant number of suicides involving JC students.
The MOE must investigate immediately and if necessary the Police must be involved if assault is deemed to be committed.
There must be follow up satisfactory action - the MOE owe it to all parents.
The victim must come forward to report the incident and get her family lawyer to follow up to seek re-dress in the Courts if the incident will indeed be covered up as we read - blogs about it are being quickly removed.
The victim must be helped referred for counselling if necessary.
The guilty ones must be punished not only the girls who participated in the torture but also all the boys in the background who cheered the bullyings and molesting involving forced change of bottom wear with revealings of one’s modesty, and stuffing of things into the victim’s blouse.
The MOE must make its comments.
The Police must be kept informed to put a stop to such bullyings in all schools.
Finally still unhappy parents must get their sons and daughters out of ACJC - with MOE facilitating.
Without a doubt, if my daughter were in ACJC, I will help her get a transfer to find any JC.
The JC must make its statement and not pretend that the incident dis not take place.
Finally can a member of the local or international press pick this article and highlight it in the newspapers - this is a social responsibilty of all to act."

Total nonsense I think, the above.

ACJC replies:

ACJC says it has counselled the students who tied up one of their peers to a chin-up bar in their birthday celebration and says it has advised them to celebrate in other ways.

This response comes in the wake of a STOMP posting where STOMPer outraged expressed disgust at the way the birthday girl was treated as she was filmed tied up and roughed up in her birthday celebrations.

In her response to STOMP, the principal, Mrs Kelvyna Chan of ACJC says:

"The College is aware of the incident which was a birthday celebration of a student who was popular with her peers.

"We understand that the student was prepared for the celebration, and that there was no malice nor bullying involved.

"When a teacher saw the celebration, he immediately stopped it and counselled the students.

"The birthday girl also assured the teacher that she was not hurt physically nor emotionally.

"Some weeks after the event, a teacher again enquired about the girl's wellbeing, and she assured the teacher and the College that the celebrations were all done in good fun and she was well.

"Although the activity was done in good humour, the college has counselled the students involved on the possible hazards of such activities and that there are more appropriate ways to show friendship among their peers."

That person who started the thread seriously made the matter so big that the school must answer. Very foolish of him to go and reveal this kind of things on the forum.

wtf i dunno what is this but read it

The Straits Times 30 September 1999
JUNIOR COLLEGE COLLAPSES AFTER 23 YEARS

The Anglo-Chinese Junior College, located at Dover Close East, lay in a pile of rubble yesterday, after the grand structure of 23 years came crashing down during morning assembly amidst the singing of the National Athem. A total of 122 casualties were reported, most of whom were students who were crushed when the toilets on the second level collapsed, leaving the largest lecture theatre on the third level to crumble in a large cloud of dust accumulated in the past decades.

Civil Defence officers arrived promptly at the scene, along with officials from the Ministry of Education and various government departments which were involved in the construction of the College more than two decades ago.

Mr Lenn, the vice-principal of the college and long serving teacher said, "We didn't expect it to cave in on us today. It was really a down-to-earth experience, and a tragic loss for all of us. We lost a good deal worth of government equipment." He declined to comment on how there were 122 students located in the level two toilets during morning assembly, at which every student is expected to attend. He also declined to answer exactly how much equipment belonging the college itself was lost, only saying that, "We've developed a strong emotional attachment to the facilities and building itself in the many years that the college has served us."

Mrs Lim Han Soon, who has been principal of the school for the past two years, attempted to explain the cause of the collapse, "I donch know what these students do sometimes. By having 122 students in the toilets the ground is sure to collapse."

The student leading the school in the anthem, requesting to remain anonymous except for saying that he was a year one student studying at the currently-levelled college, offered the most logical explanation. He said, "The college has been undergoing ground works at the car park recently, which may have caused a shift in the foundation, leading to the collapse of the school.

"In addition to that, the heavy downpour yesterday morning flooded most of the classrooms. With the kind of structural integrity ACJC has, I wont be surprised if officials say that water seeping into the crevices of the chipped concrete actually might have further eroded the walls or concrete flooring." When asked if his singing could also have played a part in the tragedy, he could only raise his hands in frustration, "With the kind of audio system we have, any singer could bring the school down."

Structural integrity was the key-phrase at the press conference held at the ACJC Sports Complex later in the morning, as a panel of investigators and architects explained to a large group of journalists the main reason behind the fall of the college. "Apparently the gaping holes in the walls were not reported to the ministry earlier, and thus we were unable to gauge that the structural integrity of the main block of ACJC was far from sound. With the extra cabling involving the installation of fibre optic cables and a host of other inclusions such as ten-thousand dollar projectors, we never knew that the building could not take the massive drilling underground and around the building." said Mr Con Structor, who is the chief investigator at the site.

A furious parent of a deceased student accused the Ministry of Education of overcrowding the junior college with many more students than logically possible in ACJC, saying, "Twenty years ago there only 600 students in the college, and in recent years this number has grown to more than 1800. With the kind of sub-standard facilities that my child has been studying in, how could anyone expect the building to stand any longer?" Mr Lenn was to point out that this was not the case, as the ACJC Sports Complex was still standing and was also considered 'part of the college'. Massive salvage operations have been carried out in the past 12 hours, with excavators from a nearby construction site situated at Buona Vista MRT Station being brought in to remove the massive amounts of rubble. Emergency operations were also carried out to remove the initial 5m layer of dust covering the building, using high powered vacuum cleaners. Salvaged so far was a Neoprint machine, a tub of Cremo ice-cream, an ACJC umbrella, and a pair of ACJC bears.

Upon being questioned that a bomb might have been set off in the toilets instead, the investigative panel quoted that this could have been the case, except that the only way in which this could have happened was if there was a massive buildup of methane in the toilet at the second level, and that a spontaneous combustion could have triggered an explosion leading to the collapse.

As a result of the collapse, the Anglo-Chinese Junior College would be temporarily relocated to Raffles Junior College, which is equipped with similar facilities but lacking in an Olympic-size swimming pool and a fully-fledged Sports Complex. In return, ACJC would loan it's Sports Complex to RJC till it shifts to Bishan, leaving ACJC to take full control of all its facilities in Ghim Moh.

Upon listening to the announcement that ACJC would share its premises with RJC and would eventually take over its campus there, a prominent Student Councillor from ACJC whispered, "Looks like we can shelve the upgrading plans after all, or perhaps we could help upgrade the campus in Ghim Moh instead..."

In the meantime, riots were reported to have broken out in RJC, when an ACJC student was involved in a scuffle with an RJC student. He had tried to put up the ACJC flag in place of the RJC flag at the flagpoles in RJC. This angered the Students' Council of RJC, and the situation was further aggravated when a roving band of ACJC students repainted the front gates of their college red, blue and gold. The students from Raffles retaliated, and attacked the band with grenades made in the chemistry labs.

A mass protest is expected tomorrow, when RJC students are expected to wear ACJC uniforms to school.
