after hearing about timo's incidents, i noticed that there are quite many good samarians out there on the mrt. i used to appreciated this in sec one slightly, but now i'm just slightly pissed.
details: being an ri boy its easy to understand why i sleep on the mrt(yes i noe according to the bishan poilicemen i have get molested or sth, but thats not the reason) and i've been doing so since sec 1.
in sec 1 i used to sleep past the station, so these goot ppl would help wake me up("are you an ri boy? bishan already u noe?" then i dart out of the mrt with many thanks). actually quite embarrassed lah.
then now in sec 3 my brain has been mutated in such a way that whenever i hear the sexy mrt voice saying "choa chu kang" or "bishan" i'd dart from my seat. even when i'm fast asleep. which is good since i save time.
nowadays good samarians have even more intiative. heres a convo as i was taking a train ride from bishan back to cck, fast asleep.
lady: hey boy, are you okay?
me: *_* what?
lady: oh. i see you're quite tired. when did u sleep last night?
me: err... 1 or 2 am.(in sleepy tone)
lady: oh. next time u shud try to sleep earlier kay? sleeping late is bad for your health.
me: orh.(goes back to sleep)
lady: (wakes me up again)hey where do you live?
me: *_* err why do u want to noe?(mummy said i shouldn't tell strangers where i live)
lady: i mean where are you alighting?
me: cck.
lady: ahh. where do you study?
me: ri.
lady: oh ri is a good school! all that travelling must have taken a toll on you.
me: yah. i'm sleepy.
lady: oh i shan't bother you then.
me: (goes back to sleep with a silent sigh of relief)
then in kranji
lady: Hey wake up!
me: *_* what?
lady: its near your stop!
me: oh. kranji.(goes back to sleep)
lady: dun sleep now or you'll miss the station!
me: orh. (then forcefully pries out my eyes to keep awake)
then i reach home and sleep till 8 pm. and then becos i cannot sleep i end up staying up till 2 am.
what happens the next day? refer to above.
actually i'm quite happy that singaporeans are at least not tt cold but somehow when people underestimates people's adaptation capabiltiies it gets quite annoying after a while.

quote seen on an A level chemistry webby:
Warning! If you like your chemistry all tidy and simple, don't read any further. I have got to the point that most text books get to at this level. In fact, as I will show below, it is quite difficult to show this effect of ionic radius in any simple ions. There are too many exceptions.
oh boy i love this quote. imagine me saying: "alwyn... if you like your astrophysics tidy and simple dun go any further without understanding calculus, trigo, series, summation, tensors, gamma function..." oh my i'm courting death...

coolness. i'm teaching my neice. goot. take as revision.
i surprised myself by remembering the ovulation cycle even after 1 year of no-contact with tt topic and so much stuff to mug in between.
and btw if you are smart enuff to link up the two statements above, you might be smiling.
st nicholas r0x. so many things they dun teach. piang...not fair.... for them lah. it's always good to learn more now so tt u can afford to learn less later.
quite shocked when she asked me the function of the cervix...i was like... wth man i tot u shud noe better.... aneway i gave a very professional and textbook answer. MOXIOUS! wadeva.
aneway from this experience i've learnt that know dussen mean can teach. needless to say when u dun.
cool quote from huat:"i'm lazy, therefore i'm effecient"
i totally agree. like, totally, man.(yucks that sounds so bimbo)
why are we learning the three methods for salt preparation? actually if u think about it you can just titrate everything. but becos ppl are lazy they dun want to titrate, tts why they come up with double-decomposition and the excess insoluble reagent methods. the slack methods.
and paying attn in class is also a slacker method. gains u marks, gains u teacher's favour, and gives u more time to study other stuff. so that u can slack the next time even if u dun listen. but u shud still listen. so that u dun need to study. i slack. i love slacking.
budden tts why i suck at chinese. its a mugging subject. its conceptless. study get good marks, no study no marks. damn.
still dislikes studying.
in case u r thinking tt my GPA is 2.0+, u r right. what an achievement for a slacker.

KoL is a fun and addictive game. the good thing is that it is fun. the bad thing is that it is addictive.
here i shall take a few quotes from the game.
"glass of goat's milk: this is a glass of goat's milk. the milk came from a goat. the goat came from the mountains. you don't know where the glass came from."
"The heavy D: This is a letter D of extraordinary magnitude. The girls, the girls, they love it."
"baby killer bee: This is not, as you're probably afraid of, a bee that kills babies. It's a baby bee, that will eventually grow up to kill babies. Crucial difference."
"chrome staff: This is a chrome staff. It's so shiny that it alters the very fabric of space and time. It alters them so much that you'll get three extra adventures per day when you've got it equipped."
and some combinations:
"goat cheese + anti-cheese=goat"
"cottage cheese + anti-cheese= cottage"
"bridge+ dictionary= abridged dictionary"
"spider web+ spider web= really sticky spider web"
"really sticky spider web + really sticky spider web= really really sticky spider web"
it is fun. but it is addictive. do not start playing it. but if you have started, too bad, u'll have to continue playing it, and embrace the fact that someday the whole game is going to be reset and all you items, meat, and stats will be gone, someday, sometime.
fact of the day: my sister plays more hentai games than yiyuan. that's a lot to speak of. yiyuan, you ought to be ashamed. i shall of list them since i do not play them. REALLY. okay okay i did play a bit of 'love hina' but it's not a hentai game... not saying that i know what hentai games are supposed to be like.
i am thinking about a card. what am i thinking of? scroll down to find out
its a card! (read question again)

wee.
spelling bee sho fun.
i haven't been studying so seriously since primary 6. i remember on wednesday(the day i had grading trng, physics remedial, and to hand in my chinese comp, RE report, parachute report, coincidentally) i woke up at 7.30. study from 8.00 to 1.30 pm(pure study, never heard of the slacker xinyang study rite? now u have), then sleep till 3.00 pm, lunch, then study from 3.30pm to 6.30 pm. then dinner, KoL, chat with frens(and found out that i've been studying the wrong topics all these while), then study some more from 12.30 to 2am. sleep.
next day wake up at 7.30. go school and finish compo at 10.40 and study a bit. then go SP to see frens then study some more until 2.30.
stupid alex ang sent us greek alphabets instead of greel prefix-subfixes. stupid. wow... i'm sure greek alphabets help us spell alpha ketoglutarate. or beta galatose. stupid alex, i say again.
nanyang copied us!! grr... SP sux, the auditorium was so small that we didn't even have 2 finger-spacing between each of us. nanyang girls were leaning over us to see and hear our answers. dishonourable.
anyway we purposely muttered wrong answers in our discussion to trick them. and they fell for it! haha jag!!!
and to our disappointment we lost to ny the next day. damn. we got 2nd and third, they got first and fourth. damn.
nothing to be embarrassed about. perhaps they were better at spelling than us. so? they dunno what nucleosomes, primers, mitosis, meiosis, C. elegans are. sure they know how to spell it, but they dunno what they mean.
ahh well. [quotes mr wee{quotes yiyuan: the buaya}: study hard]. its nobody's fault. just be more careful next time, alex.

teachers day performance was great. esp the teacherman vs slackerboy. slackerboy seems to describes me.
(so far i've gotten two zeros for math assignments, and failed 4 math tests, including the common test. wow. now i need about 80% of the rest of my assignments + tests + pop quizzes+ CT to pass math)
i went back to my pri school. not one ri boy soul is sight. batches after mine have no loyal ri boys except me!!! i'm so disgusted with these chaps. no excuse man, when you see 7 rgs and 9 ny girls from the same batch it is highly unlikely there are no ri boys. ( my batch is 2 ri, 2 rgs, 4 TCHS, 4 NYGH...perfectly balanced)
aneway i need to stress that i am proud that my pri school has bred an rgs girl who got GPA of 3.9....and she's none other than Hong Jia....*claps* kay lar not much value addedness cos she's been thrashing everyone else in the school since she came in...but topping rgs is....0_0
engaged in a long long convo with Hong(chinawoman, Lulu ought to learn[on a side note she does remind me of comrade gabriel lee...a bit]) and Christine(pro @ humanities, same height as lois).
i thank lois and jimr for showing me it is possible for diff genders to become normal frens. tokked abt the good old days. for a long long time. went well considering that it is my first time having such a long convo with girls. then i told a dirty joke that they didn't understand then they signaled for me to leave(by suggesting browsing for mp3 players and music cds). oh well. I'd better keep jimr's advice on mind next time. if possible.
acheivement of the day: i know something about electronics that huanglu didn't! HAHAHAHA
I personally don't understand why so many people just dun appreciate philosophy... it is so intriguing... with such far-fetching yet possible implications. the main barrier me and philo is that i am unable to put my thoughts into words.
there was a case of a mass suicide, where the people claim that they are killing themselves to escape from the matrix. STUPID. they obviously haven't thought far enough...just absorbing what the other are telling them... what a waste of lives....
also the way people act, i feel, is pre-determined by their 'philosophy of life'. if you live in a society where treachery is valued, the way you act will be different had you taken the confucian school of thought.
this leads me to think that philosophy is very important. i am not trying to deny the credibity of religion, but seriously speaking i feel that religion is a very powerful simplification of a thought that would lead people to act in a way that if they come together, they can form a strong, united, a properious society, and this would help in the advancement of the human race.
(mitch and lincoln i plead for your forgiveness in advance)i feel that religion could have been created to control the human mind in a positive manner. and i am glad to say that i feel that many people are really thinking about their own religion, judging from the fact that most of the people in the world have religion that instils good values beneficial to the society, instead of 'evil' religion. i feel it would be really tragic if human lives are lost because of this priceless gift to the human race.
science and religion need not coexist, but it would be best if they could. sigh... sometimes i wish that the earth was stationary and immortal, the sun goes round the earth, and that stars were pasted on a perfectly spherical wall. then we could all continue to live in this beautiful illusion. it is no wonder galileo was punished... he didn't deserve punishment, in fact he contributed immensely to physics, but he destroyed man's beautiful dream. he had hurt us unknowingly.
it would be disastrous and unthinkable if everyone think of religion as some form of superstition. when the great unification theory comes to light it would shatter the man's beautiful illusion once again... and i feel that a rather large proportion of the people in the world in the next generation would regard religion as superstition... and it would be tragic.
free thinkers without a philosophy or religion to fall back on, i feel, do not have the protection of an omnipotent being or an all-encompassing principle from the disturbing things that one will encounter in one's life. he would have to think, very hard sometimes, for a solution that have already been given indirectly in the form of religions and philosophies, and if he decides to take a short-cut or give up in the middle of his thought process, he could just end up like the people to kill themselves to escape from the matrix.
it does not take a true genius to come up with a philosophy, but to really bother to think through all the disturbing facts of life and summarise them in the form of human language requires a lot of work and patience. it can at times to really tempting to take short-cuts, but they CAN be fatal.
i feel that people who are not really bothered with philosophy should have a religion or 'philosophy of life'. and people who want to depend on their own mind for answers, be prepared for a long, rough and dangerous ride, and get lots of exposure too.
