Darth Squeaker - Ramblings Of An Misunderstood Scientist

Day one, 10 days to go

Day one of the exams. Umm... yippee? Well, the emglish paper wasn't so bad and the chinese listening was easy. Whew, that's one day down. Still got most of my major papers to go, but it's a start. :)

Nothing exciting in the past few days, studying, swimming, studying, sleeping, studying, eating, studying, reading, studying and writing my blog. Oh, did I mention studying?

So tired, last few days have been spent studying so much. Oh well, soon be over. Hopefully...

3 more days to go

3 more days to go till exams.

Vera's coming back in a few weeks, yay! Maybe we'll have another python marathon. Which reminds me, I have yet to show JC quest for the holy grail.

Bought marvel mangaverse tpb, quite good. The whle thing is actually quite funny, with some very nice drawing. Particularly liked Toni... :P The whole stroy is different, wolverine and cyclops are brothers, strom is a magic-wielding mystic, Tony stark disappeared after fighting Namor, and his sis, Toni took over Stark enterprises. Hulk is a big bad evil underling of the ethereal plane god, Dormammu, Spiderman is a juvenile ninja who's sensei was killed by Venom, a hitokiri. Blah, blah, blah. For those comic collectors out there, I recommend getting it, it's really, really good.

8 more archers to go, before I complete my regiment.

Tired, so tired

So tired today... woke up late but I also slept late... Had long school day, had long training session... Have a lot of homework, haven't finished studying...

I remember back in sec 2 when JC and I could just play and play warhammer... *sigh*

I remember the first time he used a hellblaster... a.k.a. the really, really big destructo machine(as nicknamed by me...) It had the capacity to destroy my whole unit in 2 turns. Unfortunately, I forgot about it and charged my whole army forward... Including my general who was conveniently on a flying creature giving him the furthest range among my troops... oops! He promptly turned his hellblaster and targeted my general, whom I was prepared to lose. I swear I was quivering with fear. He rolled his dice and time seemeed to slow down for me. Suddenly, He scored a misfire and rolled a 1!! on the first roll, his whole hellblaster blew up. I was so relieved and he was so freaked. He conceded immediately. :P

So sad , those days are over, oh well, back to studies... 8 more days to exams

Church

Went to church this morning. Had to find some way to stop the egg from smashing when they were dropped onto the floor as part of our lesson. As three-quarters of the class flocked to the hot water machine to boil their eggs. Trying to be creative, me and my partner emptied the egg of its contents through much hard work. It worked! However the teacher wasn't very impressed when he realised how light it was and what we did. He crushed the egg and deemed it "soul-less"... It was then, they explained to us that while they said protect the egg by any means possible, they meant, either wrap the egg or boil it. Because the lesson was supposed to be about being completely changed after accepting God and being able to survive any fall after that. Geez, talk about stunting people's creativity. We didn't even get the prize that was supposed to be given out for being able to protect your egg. Grr....

9 more days to exams. Have studied partly, Social studies, Biology, Chemistry, E-maths, Physics, Chinese.

Help!!

Oh man! I think Aliens abducted my mechanical pencil for their evil and maniacal purposes! I put it down and suddenly I can't find it! Just like typical aliens, turn up and do something evil just when you're busy... I'll bet they're going to inconvienience me by turning it into some evil death ray that destroys people by destroying the individual molecular chromosomes residing withing their cells... Typical.

Here's a test my bro recommended... I got the same thing he got... sad, right?

Before I leave, here's something I once read...

To everything there is a season, and
A time to every purpose under the
Heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to
build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones; and a time
to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain
from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew,
A time to silence, and a time to
speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace...

Saturday... 10 more days to exams

Went to Chem supplementary today, had fun, learnt some new stuff, came home, studied... that's about it, really...

Took one more test

More and more quizzes

*Sigh* Just thought of all the fun I had back with JC in Sec2... Haha, During maths lessons, which were incredibly boring, we would play warhammer!! Yeah!! Go wood elves!! Down with stinky, short Dwarfs! Down with traitorous High Elves!! Down with the disgusting, chaos-loving Empire!! Mwahahahaha!!!!

I miss those days, 'specially since we had to play with between our desks as they were seperated, played till our backs cramped... I still remember, we used my dice, rolled like 10-15 of them at one time. Ironically, the mounted knights's horses killed more men that the actual knights... :P And when we played a large mounted campaign that was supposed to last a long time, with me playing chaos and him playing high elves, it ended in 2 turns. That was still the greatest disappointment.

I still remember when we were playing, the funniest bit was when he said,"What does that flag do? Attract Chio-bus you, ah?"

Then, I said," Haha, yah, exactly that!"

"F*** you lah, lemme see your army list..." Then, he reached over and grabbed my army list to see what the item did... Next thing, his smile drops into a frown, "Oh s**t! Wah lau! That's disgusting!"

"Doo-dee-doo..." :P

Took some more tests...

My favourite Oscar Wilde quote

"Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess."

What Velvet Goldmine character are you?

Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?

I don't believe it, my bro is actually thinking of starting a fred astaire.net internet radio station... oh well, I'm kinda helping with the montage...

Haha, just saw my bro on TV on some Osim advert... they apparently took a shot of him without him knowing, but still, I think it's incredibly funny...

Oh, one more thing... Lemme just rant and rave at the stupid teams in our school who lost their golds to RI... The !@#~`$%^&*=*^% C div cricket, polo and tennis teams all lost their golds to RI!!! Can you believe it?! Three golds gone! Another two from B Div polo and B Div cricket!!! Argh!!! I just hope RI doesn't beat us this year... geez, how could we lose the golds! We lost B div polo and C div cricket marginally... If only! Geez... Can't stand it!We had to lose five golds! And considering that our B div swimming is so weak this year, cinsidering that it depends on me and lionel to win the various events, we'll probably lose that too... hopefully not, but odds are, we will. Even C div swimming doesn't stand much of a chance ven though the influx of swimmers between ACS and RI was more even.

Argh! Exams! Evil!! Evil!!!

Argh! Noooooooooooooo! Exams are drawing near, an evil so terrible it threatens even the existence of the great Sith Lords! We must rally! Come together under a common flag to fight this terrible foe!

Anyway, back to sanity. *Sigh* Time to study, time to be serious. Oh well...

On the lighter side of life, Liane's birthday was yesterday, managed to get her present ready in time, went over to deliver it, had lotsa fun... probably the only really fun thing I've done in a looong time...

Had my NAPFA(physical fitness) test today. Passed, pretty much. Did 51 sit-ups in 1 min. got an A. Did 10 chin-ups, got another A. Ran my 4*10m shuttle run in 10.08 secs, got another A... impressive, huh? Here's the sad part, I jumped 230cm for my standing board jump, 7 cm short of an A. Oh well...

Have studied for chinese, history, physics, social studies so far. 11 days to exams...

And so on and so on and so on

Another few tests I saw....

See what Care Bear you are.

Start of the Grand Prix

First day of the Grand Prix. At least I managed to get a full rest this morning... finally. Woke up, had my breakfast, went through physics with my brother. Spent half the morning in a useless argument with him about instantaneous travel and whether or not it counted as acceleration.

Took another test...

Came in third for the 400IM and fourth for the 200Back. Nothing great happened, no miracles yet. No strange occurences, no aliens, nothhing special, just another boring day.

However, did get to meet up with some of my good friends and talked to them for quite a while. Discovered that some people have no idea how bees reproduce!! Some even think that a male fertilises a female's eggs and the female goes off and lay them somewhere. Some are even weirder! They think that the bees use the pollen of the flower somehow... ??

Anyway, that's all for Bingming's blog. Have a nice day and always look two ways before crossing a road.

Another day in the life of the Sith Lord

Boring day at class today, not much happened. We had physics lesson, which was boring as usual, but because we were studying lenses and light reflection and refraction, it gave me the incredible inspiration of cutting off the bottom of a bottle and unscrewing the top, so that I could use it as a mock telescope!

Anyway, took another test...

which "monty python and the holy grail" character are you?
this quiz was made by colleen

That's all folks!

Bad, bad, good! Bad... :(

*Sigh*, from the start, I could tell today would be a bad ,bad day. First, I woke up sooo early, that I went to school early! Early!! Instead of my customary on-time late, I went EARLY! Eeew, the thought still disgusts me. :(

Then, A-maths teacher came at me again for my homework! *Sigh*, *sigh and triple *sigh*. Then the E-maths teacher came at me, or rather the whole class for not being serious about our test. Finally, we had to do the NAPFA (physical fitness) test today and I had a sprained ankle! So I missed out, and usually I like to run with my friends, especially sinceI can pace them. So sickening.

Then we had our Pastoral Care(PC) talk. I found out I was an 'I' personality. First, we had to take a test to see which of the four groups we fell into D, I, S and C. Then, we had to see whether it was our basic style or our response to surrounding environment. D is for people with Dominating personalities, I is for people with Influential people, S is for steady people and C is for Compliant people. There's a whole bunch of info on the different personalities, so I'll just describe mine.

You know how they say too much of anything is bad? Yeah, well it applies here too. Too much of a positive personality is bad. Here's the list of good and bad personalities.

Good
Initiating
Interested in others
Impressive
Inspirational
Involved

Bad
Lacks follow through
"Kay-poh"ness
Overselling
Manipulative
Cannot work alone

In my ideal world, I like to: Have FUN!!!
I prefer to do it: The EXCITING way
In order to convince me, I need to know: WHO?

Stuff like that. Some of it is really quite true actually...

Anyway, back to my day. After school, I went home, did my homework and went off to training. Training was terrible. My muscles were so sore, I felt so tired after the long day and the training program was tough. After that, I had to come back and go through my exercise routine... by the time I was done it was about 8.30.

Also, my exams are in a few weeks and I haven't really started studying. I'm okay with a few subjects but I really need revision in others. So much to do so little time. Well, you know what that famous professor from Harvard, John Stilgoe once said, if you are feeling down, there are two things you can do, 1, get a girlfriend and 2, go for a walk. Go for a walk, it's cheaper.

But, as sung in the life of bryan, "Always look on the bright side of life", I took the which muppet are you test, and I got...

	You are Rowlf! You don't draw attention to yourself much, preferring to keep your cool and stay in the background.
Take the What Muppet Are You? Quiz!

Days to Liane's B-day counter: 08 days to go

What a day!

Well, at least wasn't so bad today. Almost late for school though, fortunately, first lesson was chem., nice, forgiving teacher, as so quoted from my last chemistry prayer. Haha.

History teacher didn't come, so we spent the whole lesson trying to ruin Zhou's campaign. :P Tried to follow the guard after he led us to where we were supposed to go to in search of a 'good time'.

Physics was sooo boring... my desk mate almost fell asleep. All about incomprehensible theories about angles of reflection and refraction, and something about critical angle. Hope it's not like a crit. hit or miss, that would be terrible. :)

A-maths was so horrible, the teacher and I got into a dispute over BOTH my exercise books. Here's how it goes. See, my first exercise book got lost, so I got a replacement to do the homework in, with another few guys. We handed it up to the teacher, but he wanted to be able to return it before the day was through so we could continue to do our homework in that book. So, in typical teacherish fashion, he delegated me to get the books after they were marked after recess.

However, when I went there, they were not there! (Mind you, I checked four different times, don't get any smart ideas...) Then, couple of lessons later, I meet the teacher and he says. "Oh! I put it in the wrong slot! It's in the slot for 3.9!" (I'm in 3.10) So, no choice had to leave it there, cause we had no time.

Next day, can't find my book. Go to teacher, he says, "Must be with me, go do your homework on fulscap." I do it on fulscap and a few days later, I try to hand it up and he says, "I can't take this! I want it in your book!" I try to explain, but he's like, no, no, I couldn't have lost it, impossible, I go and check but I doubt I lost it. What can I do?

Then, he asks for another set of homework, I have never heard of... Then I realise I did it in my other book, which somehow got lost... So now I have to get BOTH books and do the exercises I missed out. The things teachers make you do...

Anyway, on the lighter side of life, I went back to this site I liked and retook the test with answers more to my liking, last time I took it I wasn't very serious... Anyway, here's my creature

I took the What Mythological Creature Are you? test

Pretty cool, last time I got a succubus, I think they meant incubus, but they didn't have one, since I'm completely assured of my manhood. For those of you who don't know, an incubus is one of those demons who turns into a handsome, sexy hunk at night and has sex with beautiful ladies, opposite gender for succubus.

Testing, testing

Hmm... Nice site, much like my brother's, introduced by a friend who has a similar site, but then I got a feeling the gods prompted her to tell me about this site, especially since I have so much rubbish to talk about and usually no where to spill it.

First things first, finally got teacher to stop having me do the prayers in class, you have no idea how much inspiration it takes to even write one prayer! I mean, okay, so they're only, what, one page long, but still... it's takes a big load of effort and planning to get even one out. Whew! I'm glad that's over with. Even managed to finish with a big, grand final prayer.

Haha, recall Keith telling me that if I didn't sign up for my events this year cause I missed the meeting, they'd kill me. Funny, they said that if I swam against them, they'd also kill me. Then again when I false started on my first year in sec school. And again in my first year initiation camp, when the teacher asked for people whom they didn't want in the team. I knew I was infamous, but come on... :)

*Sigh* So much to do, so little time. Just like our chem. teacher said, and I quote "Hurry up, time and tide wait for no man... but not women, you see any women here? No? So, hurry up."

Liane's birthday on the 18th, that's on Thursday, have to remember, if not she'll probably kill me... you know how women are... every little thing is important. That's why I don't want to have a girlfriend. Oh sure, you can chase them, thrill of the hunt, but don't ever get attached. Haha, once you do, it's like they become the "athach" in forgotten realms. For those of you who are ignorant to the ways of RPG, an attach is a large, three-armed ignoramous who love gems and live for violence (sound familiar?).

Anyway, still have to search for the answers to my hist. teacher's question. “How did The Great Depression benefit the Nazis?” *Sigh*, who would want to know?! They're dead! They're gone! Why should I care???!!! Still she holds the class in a dictatorship, so I have no choice but to obey... *sigh*
