drama fest was great.

bayley and buckley were both excellent, but since they did two totally different genres, trying to compare the two would be like trying to compare a knife with a tebby bear.

bayley: great story, i have to say. excellent one-liners. i believe it has something to do with benson koh. thought provoking, yet funny. excellent. however, i didn't quite understand why the artist killed himself. in my humble opinion, it would have ended well with lenny going out of control. can't give a lot of comments except that it was really funny.

buckley: great drama. it especially helps since it doesn't get too dramatic, unlike many other dramas do. i believe that the play tugged at everyone's heartstrings. ivan goh cried(but then he's rather emotional). wangting was excellent. lincoln was great too. i feel that lincoln and wang ting's voice and size really helped to portray ryan's role as a big brother shouldering heavy responsibilties, taking care of a younger one. the ending (do i call it a soliquy if 3 ppl are speaking?) helped to bring the play to an excellent closure. even though i'm not an emotional person, i was quite touched when the kid said "gor gor..." at the end. they almost got a standing ovation, ALMOST because some bastards (including me) didn't stand up. i felt that the father figure could have done better.

hullett: weird... i did hear a lot of laughter, but i'm not sure if it was really that funny because there were laughingstocks behind me gaffawing away before the punchline so i couldn't hear what they were saying. besides there were so much laughter i couldn't hear what they had to say... so i guess i can't make a good judgement for them.

interlude: excellent! trying to describe them would really spoil it, because what made akesh and wai kit great was their acting and voice, so i shan't.

looking forward to moor and morrison!

i am feeling not very happy about the outcome of the physics essay competition. didn't get into top 5.

:'(

oh well. i would really appreciate it if some guy out there could give comments on the quality and accuracy for the contents of my essay. Don't worry, its quite easy to follow.

CLICK HERE TO READ MY ESSAY... and understand why i'm not happy.

sorry i cannot simply paste the essay here... it is a little bit mathematical.
i am sad. just found out tt i wasn't so good at the only thing i thought i was good at. What's next?

spent much effort... with much interest and commitment... with lousy results...

sigh.

guess geppers are called gifted for a reason.

on a side note i built a hand-held rocket launcher which works. from the middle of the classroom, i did a dry launch on a 1.5 litre bottle at the noticeboard made of soft cork, 50 psi. bounced off noticeboard, bounced off ceiling, bounced off whiteboard, landed in front of me. all these happened in less than a second.

i could remember that when i brought the launcher to school nobody cared. When i started pumping nobody cared. when i told people to go away from the line of fire nobody cared. when i pointed the launcher forward the guy in the line of fire strolled away, while i was shouting frantically at him to clear. Then when i fired, everyone on the classroom was scared shitless and asked for encore. The bottle had a dent* in it. (*note: understatement)

after which i lent it to a guy to play with.

and i almost killed a bird with it. intentionally. man... if i had REALLY killed it i'd probably be feeling really guilty... but then again whether it died or not is merely the outcome, all it would take is probably 5 degrees to the right and it would have died... fact remains that i tried to kill something innocent for the fun of it... the evil in my heart needs to be purged.

on yet another sidenote, i have spent more than $80 on launchers by now. i am confident that the fourth one would be even better.

but its okay.

i would try my best not to allow this to happen again.

at the expense of everything. everything.

i remember that during the CHAOS finals kenny lim fell for a trick.

U noe in an LT there is always a master switch that switches off everything(to convenience ppl leaving the LT for the day)?

Yiyuan: 'hey, u noe if u hit the master switch nothing happens?"
Kenny: 'I'm sure!'

mike(pipohpoh) then hits the bottom of the master switch, and obviously nothing happens

Mike: 'eh really... nothing happens.'
Kenny: 'really meh?'

then kenny proceeded to hit the top of the master switch. And all in the LT saw momentary darkness.

today mr physics teacher did a demonstration on light dependent resistor(LDR). she shined a torchlight on the LDR and the buzzer buzzed. So i asked, how about using the OHP? she allowed me. so i used the mirror to aim at the LDR and the buzzer buzzed without the need to laboriously hold the torchlight.

Then i suggested putting the LDR at the focal point of the OHP. HuangLu stopped me, for fear it might melt the LDR. Then my physics teacher put her hand into the OHP and said "Not hot what."

So i took a piece of paper and held it still at the focus. The effect was brilliant. Within 3 seconds the piece of paper yielded to a 1 inch diameter hole and in 1 minute, the entire classroom smelled of smoke. Then, she said: "Okay i see your point."

today i have noticed something about jokes.

Insulting jokes are made up of 3 parts, one of which is usually hidden.

Part 1: Usually hidden, or exists as contextual knowledge. This establishes a trait in the subject one would like to joke about, usually by exaggerating the trait. Most people only find out about this when they understand the joke.

Part 2: Usually the longest part of the joke. Can be a story or a one liner. This usually describes the situation the subject is that, such that he can bring out his trait.

Part 3: Also known as the punchline. This shows the exaggerated trait in the subject involved in the given situation.

Example: Your mother so fat, that when she jump for joy, she get stuck.

Part 1: Your mother is so fat

Part 2: That when she jump for joy

Part 3: She get stuck.

In this case, the subject is "your mother". The fact that "she gets stuck" when "she jump for joy" shows that she is "fat".

Another example:

Why do racists compete with others on the basis of colour?
Because if they competed on brains, they'd lose.

The subject is "racist". The fact that "they'd lose" when they "compete on brains" shows that they are stupid.
Just wrote a 2000 word long physics essay with no smoking or padding (seriously cannot cut anymore). tired. and i feel like a show-off.

frankly speaking i'm just blogging so tt my shares value would rise.

catch no ball? go to http://www.blogshares.com

to my not so good friend's, go buy wang's blog's shares. it is good.

to my good friends, don't. the price is reaching a pinnacle soon. and i'm the biggest shareholder :D
