Finally decided to add a new blog entry, seeing as how I haven't in a long time. Happens a lot here at this blog, doesn't it? Not being updated in a long time? Haha...
Anyway, my prelims started last Thursday, with my Bio practical. The practical didn't go too well, they gave us some funny experiment involving leaves, water, light and sodium hydrogen carbonate. Never tried anything like that before. Needless to say, my answer was COMPLETELY different from all my friends and the answer they suspected was the right one. The worst part was, I had a niggling suspiscion that I wasn't getting the right answer, but the experiment was so long, I had absolutely no time whatsoever to try it again.
The drawing of the fruit was okay. But it was kinda funny. They asked you to cut a transverse cut and draw what you saw. So I was wondering what would happen if you cut and didn't see a seed? Would you then not have to draw the seed? The fruit was something like a Long bean, or somethign like that. It had a long row of seeds and lotsa space between each seed. True enough, my friend cut the fruit and didn't see a seed whatsoever. Fortunately, for him, not for me, he had the presence of mind to cut again and look for the seed. Haha, there's probably some doofus who cut and didn't see a seed and drew that. Too bad I won't get to know what happens if you do that. Hahaha...
To make it worse, we're the first shift this time around. Which means we get stuck for 4-5 WHOLE, LONG hours, in a classroom. Although, it does lead for some amusing tales, but it's heckuva boring. The laat time, I was third shift, 3rd of 4. So, after we got out and the last shift went in, we got to go home. This time we have to wait all the waaaay till the end. *Sigh*
Some guy brought a ping pong ball to the practical, so we started playing ping pong on the teacher's table. It got quite fun, till one of the teachers came in, saw us and told us not to play that again. So... we stopped for a while, drifted around, and eventually got around to playing a squash variant off the back of the classroom wall. Hahaha... then the same teacher came in, two hours later, and he was not amused. So, that was kinda the end of us playing ping pong. He didn't confiscate it, but we didn't exactly fell like puching our luck. Some other guys cut a whole chinese chess set from graph paper and started playing. The whole thing, all the works, it insanely hilarious, because everytime someone joined us watching the game, and he'd start poitning and giving advice, and the paper pieces would fly from the sudden movement of air. It happened when people yawned too. So eventually, I think the two guys gave up playing.
Also, watched LXG a while ago. It was okay, I think the comic was better though. I liked Sean Connery as Alan Quatermain. Although, I prefer the Dr. Jekyl, Mr. Hyde from the comic, and I prefer the comic's storyline. I thought it was so much better. The storyline in the movie was passable, perhaps more realistic, but I prefered the comic book one still.
Also, played my first LG campaign the other day with my bro as DM. It was really fun, course, my bro was also quite lenient. But his lack of knowledge of the rules, led to a poor battle plan from the final boss character. Haha, it's so cool. I finally got a cert that proves I've played one game!! YAY!! Maybe I'll go and laminate it now... Haha...
