long time no post. rah.

the days have been very fun since the week of mass project handing up ended. went to play badminton on monday, and LEONG as usual, was very entertaining. you can read it all on ian lin's blog.

Then we had cross country today. it was very good =D but they had to make us take the girls 3.2km route this year. no fun one. 3.2km at macritchie seems much shorter compared to 2.4km at school..perhaps the changing scenery causes time to pass much faster than compared to round and round the school for 2.4km. At first, we wanted to run in formation with fat IAN CHEONG. according to ian cheong, to lose weight, he has to (i quote) "run very far, run very long, run very fast". then will lose a lot of weight. well after the first...2 mins of running, the bunch of us that were supposed to be flanking ian cheong found out that ian cheong has (surprise surprise) disappeared. oh well. so we ran and completed the thing. i win. only part of his weight loss attempt that he completed was the run very long part. he took so long to arrive.

after the thing, we all went to eat at BURGER KING. very good. then the whole bunch of them (ian lin, LEONG, dickson, oli, clement and wesley) came over to my house. it was rather amusing rewatching all the sec2 videos we had. it was rather embarrassing too. rah.

then. we played RISK. first time i played since dunno how long. but it was very good. the game started off with our guys scattered all over the map.but after the first turn, the scene was like so. clement and dickson (as one side) controlled australia after whacking wesley's annoying black colour people in indonesia, hence they get increased reinforcement. Leong and oli were being stupid and fighting over africa. wesley and oli were also fighting for south america. ian was trying to claim the whole of europe, while i was trying to do the same with north america.

wesley was being annoying by putting his guys all over the place, preventing many of us from getting the continent reinforcement bonus. meanwhile, clement and dickson were getting lots more reinforcements from their hold on australia and went on to whack up asia, where most of us had like one soldier in each territory. leong and oli were whacking each other in africa still. then suddenly got POLITICS. leong and clement and dickson formed a sort of alliance, and controlling australia, a large part of asia and africa, started whacking up oli in africa and everyone else in asia. In response, me, ian, wesley and oli formed NATO, since i had most of north america and ian had most of europe. wesley had the whole of south america, so he got reinforcement bonuses due to sales of coffee beans and columbian drug lords. the result of NATO was that me and ian got the whole of N. America and Europe respectively, hence we all get a lot of reinforcements.

then leong, seeing that he was getting whacked everywhere, decided to whack oli in a sort of suicide attack. whack whack whack until oli only had 3 territories left, in egypt and north africa. the attrition was so great that leong had only 8 units left and oli had 4. then wesley and all his columbian drug lords from south america swept through africa and annihilated LEONG. hence leong was out of the game. clement and dickson, controlling almost the whole of asia, proceeded to attack ian's europe, but were repulsed by combined NATO forces (sounds cool =D) and wesley proceeded to hoot clement and dickson all the way out to australia. in the end, they were left with a whole lot of guys eating sushi in japan. with the yellow colour people defeated, there was no more use of NATO. so me and ian, who had been massing forces, engaged in this huge battle in kamchatka(me) and yakutsk (ian). i had 49 units and ian had 50, and he attacked me, hence i had the defenders advantage, but ian had 3 dice compared to my 2. in the end, i was routed back to north america, and ian was left with 4 units. this shows that the game's battle mechanism was rather well designed. i think>.<>.<

black is wesley, red is me, light blue was oli, light green was ian, grey was leong and yellow was clem and dick


after leong and oli's great african battle


my units and ian's units facing off =D


Tyco dice roll (i won cuz of defender's advantage =D)

the usual quotes =D

"i am the most normal" - LEONG. i beg to differ, evidence given in previous posts and this post

"my head is now a carton. got floating thing inside..like cheese like that. its called a brain" -Ian Lin. i forgot the context of this.

"hahaha i have a faster ass than yours" - ian lin to leong, after beating him to a seat >.<

"your hair looks normal compared to xide" - me to wesley
"its not normal! its ceramic!"- wesley, commenting on his bowl head

this was on the mrt...
"When i go to the toilet, i make faces at myself" - oli
"hey, i do that too!" - ian lin

the day after we watched charlie and the chocolate factory
"you look like a blueberry" - ian lin to soon kai
"your head looks like lego" - soon kai, on ian lin's polygonal head

Joseph Wong was telling us about how they made apple cider by fermenting apples, and rice wine by fermenting rice...
"oh. so tiger beer is made by fermenting tigers..." - LEONG

during today's risk game
"Hey ian, don't join NATO. join us and leong, we'll form...IAN-TO" - clement

haha..thats all. nice long entry =D

YAY. c div won rugby. so leet =D

bah. lots of work. anyway, today was another LEONG day. before the quotes, check out this article...

A Supersonic Fighter for Just $100?
	By Ryu Jin Staff Reporter South Korea is to sell supersonic fighters at $100 (101,000 won) per jet. It may be hard to believe, but it’s no lie. The fighter jets to be sold at such a giveaway price are F-5A/Bs, which are being retired from their 40-year-long service this month. The Ministry of National Defense and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) said Sunday they considered selling the retired aircraft, which opened the era of supersonic fighters for the Korean Air Force in 1965, to foreign nations including Mexico and Poland. ``We have about 50 F-5A/B fighter jets at the moment, half of which are used for educational and demonstrational purposes. The ministry will consider selling the remaining half to foreign nations at $100 per unit,’’ a KAI official said. ``It’s a nominal price.’’ He hinted that the virtual donation is part of a sales strategy to export KT-1 and T-50 supersonic trainers developed and produced by KAI to the foreign nations. ``We have also sold F-5A/B fighters to the Philippines at $100 each in the past.’’ It is customary for a country to sell outdated military arms at a token cost, a ministry official said. But the source added that the export requires prior consent from the nation that manufactured the weapons. The F-5A/B jets were made in the United States. South Korea purchased about 120 F-5A/B fighter jets in the late 1960s. They became the mainstay of the Air Force and played a leading role in thwarting espionage agents from North Korea until the 1970s. jinryu@koreatimes.co.kr 08-15-2005 19:51

man US$100 per aircraft

i'm seriously considering writing in to the ROKAF for an F-5A. after all i have enough cash on me to buy 3...but i have no space to put it. and the gahmen prolly would confiscate it or smth. rah.

oh. LEONG quotes. more more more =D

while poking oli
"i will poke you to die" - LEONG and his bad grammar =p

when asked on what sort of specialization he wants to go into if he takes medicine...
"I want to be a head surgeon" - LEONG. note that he is referring to human head, not the rank head.

"the problem with being a doctor is that other people's lives are ON your hands" - LEONG, grammar 101

while on the NEL MRT, the train always slows down very slowly towards the station, and we were at the end of the train. so when it was moving very slowly, about to stop that time, the doors were still facing the stone walls of the tunnel...
"Eh its a wall! What happens if the door opens and i walk into the wall?" - Ian Lin

haha. oh for those of you who haven't seen yet, The Student's Sketchpad is rather entertaining =D

goodbye

finally. the long period of continuous project doing/handing up has ended...i can now do more of my own stuff now =D

alright. for tonight, i'll have 2 math files to do. thats all =D

today was LEONG day. hence i have LEONG quotes =D

"I don't steal things, I just take them" - LEONG

while playing some weird spelling game...
"E is for animal" - LEONG

on LEONG's chem worksheet...the question was asking abt the physical conditions required for some reaction...
"450°C at room temperature"

it appears that LEONG's room has very good environmental regulation systems

good day

for around two years, you were always by my side, wherever i went. through you, i experienced many emotions i couldn't have if you weren't there. but the tides of change have come upon us, and the time has come for us to part.

only this once, have i entered the pin to restore factory settings. only this once, have i ever hit the delete all messages key.

i bid thee farewell my loyal friend.



7250i: 23rd of November 2003 - 14th of August 2005

and the hammer falls.

i'm now officially screwed for a lot of things. academically at least.

okay. tmr is the due date for a lot a lot of things. such as chinese portfolio (i got 4 more reviews to write), a whole ton of math worksheets/math file, everything bio which we owe (well for me its a lot), LA(B) due very soon. maybe even tmr. then got IHS due next tuesday. then got bio..presentation. and LA(B) presentation also. that with all the normal worksheets etc we get every week.

oh and the stink of it is, i supposedly got 57% for my core math test. no way. i can't have screwed up that badly. maybe i did. nvm. i want to see my paper.

raaah.

i feel like quitting school and staying home to sleep for the next 60 years. but logic and common sense dictates that i can't do that. what a noob.

(added smth down there)

today was a good day

for one, bongard did not catch me when he passed by our class even though i have quite long hair. i hope no one does tmr though. then i shall cut on sunday before the parade on monday. hooah.

then, cross country got cancelled due to the weather and we all got dismissed early. by 2 hours and 40 mins =D the entire SAC erupted in loud cheers when the announcement was heard...that was super cool.

had a nice lunch at PIZZA HUT. it was rather interesting watching waasley getting aggrevated and going into spasmodic fits at times due to a lot of things. namely ian lin's slow eating. i got a whole load of photos of him doing that on my lousy low resolution hp cam. i think i can make a comic strip. maybe i'll do that over the national day weekend =D

then. highlight of the day.

ian and i had the great honor to watch wesley's bowl hair getting cut. over the past few weeks, he has been saying that he'd look much better once his hair is cut. but then again, as usual, he was proven wrong today. he now has a smaller piece of crockery on his head. smth like a plate...or doggy dish. looks a bit better but not much. a bit only. it was rather amusing watching him getting his bowl hair cut...and laughing at him while all he did was stare at us through the mirror and giving us strange looks.

you all remember the 'there is no spoon' line from the matrix?

*ian lin holds up his fork, and gives that faux philosophical look*
"there is no spoon" - ian lin
"of course there isn't. that is a fork you moron" - wesley

during the haircut, wesley was holding a chunk of his hair that got cut...

"what were you holding your hair for?" - ian lin
"i was going to throw it at both your faces until the indian barber told me to put it down" - wesley to me and ian.
"eat bowl!" - wesley

EDIT:

lol. this was from shivana's blog...its super hilarious and knowing Gan, its prolly true

"This week Gan displayed his true colours. Gan as in Gan Kok Kiong, as in my math teacher. Gan btw, has this distinct way of pronouncing maths. Today in class we discussed it and came to the conclusion, it would have to be spelled “Mechks.” It’s a combination of the H and K sounds instead of TH so it’s “Mechks”. Let me now publish some of Gan’s quotes:

“You don’t need to think to do Mechks what.” – Sometime during class
“This has nothing to do with Mechks.” – Gan referring to the solution for a Rubik’s Cube

Then there was this conversation with him that Sam had when the guy from NUS Engineering came to our sch.

Sam: Sir, did you do Engineering in University?
Gan: No, I did Mechks.
Sam: Why?
Gan: Cause I wanted the fastest and easiest.
Sam: How long is Engineering?
Gan: Engineering is 4 year. Mechks is 3 year.
Sam: Maths is easy meh?
Gan: Easy to me what.

Gan was/is a super slacker. He previously confessed to us that in Uni he didn’t study. His theory was:

“If 80% of the class fail, it doesn’t show that the students are stupid, it shows that the lecturer is stupid. So the lecturer will make sure 80% pass. So you just study a bit can get A already.”

Then he said the only thing he failed was Human Resource Management or something like that. His excuse was:

“That one need to study. I didn’t know need to study. So I fail. You must use this guy’s model, then apply to this situation. So if you don’t know what he’s talking about, you can’t do it. I didn’t spend much time in Uni studying.”" - shivana's blog

that is all. i shall depart

hello.

i don't like practicals. well maybe asides from physics pracs. and a few chem pracs here and there. but bio prac that day was rather cool. mealworms are dumb and annoying. they should be dunked in ice water or something.

anyway, these few days have been rather peachy. asides from the physics test that has been postponed multiple times until tmr.

ah. random recollections over the past week or so

while we were on the MRT, ian was talking about how his fish on his dinner plates can talk...

"My fish can talk one. It will wakeup and say: 'hello ian! i'm a fish! eat me eat me!' then i eat him. um" - ian lin

oh 4.8/4.10 ppl...familiar with shivana and darren chew's 'you suck' game? oh and sam chan's too. they just see who can tell the other guy "you suck!" before the other person does, and he wins. what a retarded game. retarded games for retarded people =D oh that day, during our LA(A) test, shivana poked his head into our class. The quiet test environment was shattered by a barrage of "you suck"s from darren chew and shivana amid lots of finger pointing. i have no idea who sucked first, but then after that, shivana came looking through the back door glass window thingy, where darren chew and i were, and started pointing and mouthing the words 'you suck' even while we were doing a test. lol

when questioned about why he did that a while after...

"Its to enforce the yousuckness of you" - shivana to darren chew

then during bio class a few days ago

"I'm Jimmy Neutron! I have big head and stupid hair, And also electrons orbiting around my head" - Ian Lin
