Life Is But A Bunch Of Assorted Cashews

2009-11-07T19:40:00.004+08:00

woooooo!

back after quite a while to post for fun.

it's a saturday night, so i'm well bored. nothing much to do now that my phone's broken.

can't seem to find my warcraft 3 disc either, wonder where did the 70 dollar crap go to.

FIFA 10 is still tough for me, I can't even handle the semi-pro while my bro just takes down legendary like it's nothing. wonder if it's because of the difference in practice.

I was watching some Taiwan drama my mum was watching, and i realized that half of the plot was entirely predictable. So much for "new" serials. So here's an excerpt from the show.

Husband : Please I need you and the baby!

Wife (hold husband's hands) : Ohhhhh!

*Flashback of husband abusing wife*

Wife (Pushes husband away) : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Husband : I understand.......I'll give you time to consider. Tell me when you're ready to forgive me....

Wife : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Audience: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

And technically the scene ends with the audience wasting 5 minutes of their lives watching a seemingly useless act.

If you actually watch the series, you'll notice that this scene appears every week. Taiwan dramas are immensely repitative.

Alright, moving on.

For those PSP owners out there, there's a nice game that i've been anticipating for awhile, it's due in 2010. I seriously recommend it to those who liked dissidia and crisis core.

Yup, this is it! Kingdom Hearts : Birth By Sleep.

I'm quite a KH fan, so i'm hoping that this can do better than Final Fantasy Dissidia, which is possibly the best game behind Monter Hunter for the PSP so far.

Btw, Anyone tried Field Runners? It's awesome!

Found this video over the internet. Bored so i'm posting it.

Obnoxity

2009-09-20T21:50:00.003+08:00

Yay, blogger works again, but even so it still is anti-user friendly.

Had a sudden urge to post about some things i experienced today, so decided to do a post (i don't think i'll be doing another in a loooooooooooooooong time)

Firstly, kids these days are getting way too egoistic. Maybe I was like that when i was younger, but i hope not.

Well, having to spend an entire afternoon at parkway parade while waiting for my bro's tuition to finish at 4, I had the liberty of playing the free demo XBOX 360 at Best Denki (I play it all the time, i know it's cheap, but what else can i do!?) with a bunch of kids around 4-6 years of age around me.

The point is, I couldnt even play FIFA 09 in peace. There happened to be this kid right next to me who believed he had the playing ability of a hardcore "i-dont-sleep-i-play" gamer, and all the time he had to be shouting dumb comments to insult my playing skills. Here are some of them:

*Higuan runs in front of Petr Cech while i desperately spam B in hopes of scoring, but Cech gets to the ball first*

Kid : Aiyoh cannot even score when so near the goal! You must press B to shoot!
Me : Yes, i know...I was pressing it.
Kid : Then why you cannot score? Everytime i press B i SURE score you know! ( he emphasizes on the SURE ) Let me play la.

Of course, I ignore his request.

*Penalty Shoot Out, my first shot, Robinho's, gets saved*

Kid : How come you so lousy ar?
Me : You think it's so easy? We're in the year 2009.
Kid : Just let me plaaaaaaaay. I show you how to play!

*Attempts to snatch controller, so I just give it up to him*
*Kid starts a new match*

Me : You're not so good....
Kid : Ayah wait, warm up.

*Opponent team scores, i celebrate in my heart*

Kid : You see la! Talk to me then they score, if not they won't score one!
Me : But they scored like 5 seconds after i finished talking to you.
Kid : You disturbed me la!
Me : Ok, then just score back, I thought you press B SUUUUREEE score?
Kid : When did i say that?
Me : -.-

Game ends 2-0, the boy loses, in fact it should have been 5-0 if not for the imba AI keeper.
Then the boy starts to get a little unhappy and says that the game sucks, and walks off.

2009-08-23T12:57:00.000+08:00

Lol blogger is screwed. So is my playlist. DAMN.

Caught on the Patapon fever recently, now I just can't get the beat out of my head....lol. And because there's something wrong with the post thingy, i'll keep this entire post short.

Maybe when i get the chance to edit i'll put in my quote of the day......

2009-07-16T18:10:00.002+08:00

Haha! I have returned.

It's been over a month since i last posted...

Heh, recently I have been overcome with homework, somehow it seems tat some days I am very, very free, and some days I have to face a large pile of homework.

NRIC day's tomorrow! That would mean I can skip the passport check at the airport! Finally I can play with the fingerprint recognition thing.

And once again, my room has been overrun by pests. Just slayed 2 mozzies in my room yesterday. Somebody should really just handle that mini-forest right beside my window.

Macbeth plot quiz was sad. Just when Mr.Harris said that the test was next week, it came the next day..... Luckily i was able to guess through most of the questions (Shakespeare is surprisingly cliche).

One Piece Chapter 550 is out! After 2 weeks of waiting, the latest has been unveiled. Portgas D. Ace is in fact son of Gold Roger! This new arc is definitely going to be interesting. Sadly, Whitebeard doesn't seem to be acting at all.

Drew a portrait of Mr.Seow today. Looks....quite unlike the real person. If blogger wasn't so lag, I would probably post it up.

Gonna be updating my Playlist again, now i find my entire list full of weird songs.... gonna be deleting some.

Quote of the Day: When You Fail, It's Just A Reminder For You To Work Harder.

2009-05-31T14:56:00.003+08:00

Ok i'm not good at keeping blogs alive, maybe that's why i didn't take on biology.

It's a hot, hot afternoon. Don't feel like starting on any work, and don't feel like finishing any. Maybe I'll just post this as i try to kill time.

Firstly, I would like to congratulate the 3C volleyball interclass team for winning the league! It's a tad late, but I guess i should just say it. Bowling next year? Just hope not.

GPA's a failure this year, hoped to improve from last year, but guess what? Another disappointing 2.67. No offense to those who didn't do well too though.

Bryan's out of 3C! Maybe that was what most people in our class were hoping for, but no discrimination nonetheless.

And along with Bryan, Jian Ming has left as well. Anyhow, good luck for your O levels, and thin down ur light and dark decks, they could be strong if u actually bothered to edit them.

2009-05-07T18:16:00.002+08:00

Dang.

Not exactly too optimistic about my physcis common test.

Screwed up the first question, which means i dumped off 5 marks from the following questions.

And what's worse, the test is only 20 marks.

It seems i'm not working hard enough. I'll need to revise my slacking hours.

And level camp cancelled! Major letdown. Now we have to return to school for lessons when we could have been in Malacca.

Blame it on the H1N1. As though the 1918 pandemic wasn't bad enough for us already.

2009-04-26T20:11:00.002+08:00

It's now Sunday, the end of a new week has come once again.

My work's pretty much done, now i'm deciding between doing the chinese composition, or to continue maths.

I'm siding with composition.

Next week will be pretty free, we have 2 days off! That will be another week of golf missed. No more free drinks :(

For some reason i have a personal quota for how many words i need in a blog spot, and this sentence seems to be here to fulfill that.

Feeling pretty bored now, haha. Will start randoming from here on.

Found these tissues which i suppose will be useful in the future. Trying to get more of them. Where are they sold?

And here are some dumb pics of cats. Super Random!

2009-04-24T20:40:00.002+08:00

Argh, dinner was like a bag of onions, looking at it makes you wanna cry.

Had the usual mixed vegetable rice from the Changi Airport terminal 1 store, but turns out some smart person helped me order my food. It was like....totally messed up.

It's disheartening to open a packet and see everything you wished to see not there - but in it's place everything you hoped you would not get. And more so when there are others with the perfect dishes. Darn, i'm unlucky today.

Apparently, there was nothing wrong though, so maybe i'm brooding over it too much, food is still food. If it's eatable, i guess i'm blessed already.

Had sad times on the range, i never got close to even swiping the tee and getting the nice,old "ping" sound. Although, strangely, my ball travelled far. Maybe it's the wind, haha.

And one piece is not coming out next week! And that means the author has 2 back-to-back breaks. Wow that person is seriously freelance.

2009-04-21T19:15:00.003+08:00

Wow, I haven't posted in 10 days. That's pretty long.

Considering my playlist, I think i should just swop up some of the songs up, i think hearing Mad all the time can really make you go mad.

Ants are amazing creatures! I saw some right beside the swimming pool just now, many of them were "suiciding" themselves into the swimming pool. I supposed that they wanted to learn swimming too, but surprisingly, one swam and made it back!
This could be dangerous, swimming ants. For all you know ants may one day become amphibious creatures, and when they start ruling the ocean that'll be sad.

Got a vid of Bryan singing, but wonder if i'll be able to post it up...

Sorry for the shaky moments, was shifting to another spot.

Voila! Here it is. Vid's sure taking long to upload though. I wonder why.

2009-04-11T19:19:00.003+08:00

Finally, the playlist is revived!

I've put on a new playlist as I deleted the previous one, sadly, had to spend over 2 hours getting the songs back.

Went to watch Fast & Furious yesterday, with Jian Ming, Claire and Shafaye. Great movie, just sad that there was not much "race" scenes. Was hoping to see some drifting too, but guess not.

I've just found out a new fact : JM can't play racing games, he usually ends up choosing the slow cars, but he's good at shoot-em-ups.

Just found a beautiful Frostmourne replica on sale at the Plaza Singapure "Weapons" Shop, don't know the shop name. Sadly, it costs $1288, but the art and design is marvellous! It's life-sized too, but I wonder if it's cursed. The blade looks sharp enough to kill, and it's made of stainless steel.

2009-04-03T21:06:00.002+08:00

Dang, Playlist.com has encountered some license problems, and haha, my songs got cancelled!

Today was a busy day, ESPECIALLY busy. Started off with Physics Pop Quiz, then immediately came the Chem Practical Practice thingo, and after a 30 min reccess, LA comprehension test! Coupled with 2 hours of maths, i really couldn't lift my head up after that.

Screwed up on my golf PC test, haha. The first shot had already rammed into a tree, scaring out a few birds. To think almost all the Year 2s passed, seriously, that was bad fail.

Next week's going to be a very slack one, considering that Thursday down for the Sports Meet, and Friday's gonna be for Good Friday! That could make it a 4-day no school week, including Sat and Sun.

Fabregas is most likely going to return against Man. City! That would be good news, Arsenal's inspiration is returning, wonder how the Fabregas-Arshavin combo would work out. A great passer, and a creative attacker!

Current Time Check : 9.38pm. For some reason my radio's geeting louder and louder. Gotta check that one out.

2009-03-26T19:52:00.002+08:00

Failed to get a question in to the Manuel Almunia Webchat yesterday. Darn! If it was read i would have a high chance of getting a PS3. I don't belive how a "favourite sandwich?" question could actually make it! Unfairness is everywhere. Crap crap crap, if my question went in earlier i would have made it! Wonder how many people sent in the same question as me, but all i know is that one guy asked EXACTLY the same thing and won a Arsenal Sleeved FIFA 09 and a PS3!

Kind of in a emotional dent right now, 19 questions and not one read.

And as though to make it worse, i can't find a good site for the History of Thailand.

Guess that's all for today.

2009-03-18T17:47:00.005+08:00

Back On! Felt pretty free today, so came on for another post.

Achieved 10/10 for my history file! That's my first pass for a file check since primary school, and it's a cause for celebration! Woots!

Reading up on the siamese revolution of 1932, wonder how i'm gonna turn all that info into an essay. The future's looking bleak, heh.

Running out of ideas for my Black Feather deck, wonder if i should add a Dark Creator or a Dark Armed Dragon?

Ah i'm bored, bored bored bored bored. Totally nothing to do now, and homework sounds as good as a chore, ARGH!!!!!!

Woah it's amazing how my moods can transit from one to another so quickly. No wonder i'm underperforming for my Structured Essays.

2009-03-10T18:05:00.003+08:00

Just realized, my last post was long ago. Didn't have much time for updates recently, too busy with "homework". Or so i said.

Just to start this off, it's the last week of term 1! Strangely, it seems too fast to be true. That woud mean that the holidays are starting soon. Sadly, it's only for a week, and then BAM! Back to school for another term of studying.

Good news is, my homework isn't piling up like before, and my time management has significantly improved since last year. Improvements! Slowly I'm hitting my New Year Resolution.

Thursday's a holiday! Thanks to those great Year 6s last year, with their outstanding scores. However, as Ms Lim once said: "You don't deserve this. It's for the teachers."

Next time maybe i could start off with "I agree with this statement to a large extent."

Don't really have the luxury of time on my side, Jian Bao and History File -- All Undone!

Darn suddenly all my work look as though they are piled up as high as everest, I'll never know when i'll conquer this mountain.

2009-02-26T22:23:00.003+08:00

Broke my record for heaviest file in my life!

Currently, up till today the heaviest file (with only worksheet and notes) was 2.4 kg.

And after weighing my current one, apparently it is 4.7 kg! It is seriously the thickest file I've ever seen.... Kind of reminds me about a bullfrog being strangled to it's breaking point, all puffed up to the extent.

Just realized that i have the time for many weird hobbies, and yet no time for studying. Better get a resolution, and I've already thought of my first resolution, "Get a new resolution".

OK, tomorrow is most likely going to throw on me, a Maths Pop Quiz and VIVA. I suck at linear inequalities, but it's alright, I don't think someone prepared for a "surprise" test will be surprised at all.

I still have TOTALLY no clue on how VIVA goes about, just that it's on Chem for me. No preparation needed, they say. Maybe they should say "No preparation needed, if u are willing to fail". I've never seen a science test that never requires preparation. Even practicals need you to prepare some specific stuff.

Going to sleep with an unsound mind. Hope i can wake up fresh tmr.

2009-02-22T13:30:00.003+08:00

Back On For Another Post!

Felt pretty free today, having neglected half of my work. So thought I would post for some inspiration for the Autograph Book. Couldn't find it on Youtube, so decided to search on Mr.Bean instead. Seems pretty random, doesn't it?

Turns out, Rowan Atkinson has a series of videos, seems kinda like a theatre in a University. The one i posted on my blog (It's in one of the tabs) would be one of the funniest in the series, with the Rowan Atkinson and the Invisible Man coming in next. People who are interested could go to youtube and watch!

Yesterday's play, The Importance of Being Earnest was funny! A great script, i suppose. But i feel as though the story was rushed. The ending was abrupt, turns out the guy's name is really Ernest...And he was found in a handbag.

I had a better laugh at the Algernon guy though, his face is comical enough already!

Totally clueless on how to do the Zuo Wen....Need some help!

The Autograph Book is tough to write on...I don't even understand the story!

2009-02-18T18:42:00.004+08:00

Today was eventful nonetheless, Jian Ming lost his phone, and after searching around the school twice for it, it was just under his chair.....

Math test just went by, making it test number 3 this week...And on friday there's still that Ting Xie! Time sure flies, my last post was on last tuesday. A week has come and gone, like....like.....a flock of ducks!

Wow, just realized that i have nothing much to write about........

Found another lizard crawling on my mozzie net this time. Lucky for it, it wasn't killed. Hmm wonder where it is now.

2009-02-09T17:49:00.003+08:00

Noodles for Laksa!

Laksa and Mee Siam Gravy!

Desserts and cakes!

The exterior of the cafe!

My Bowl Of Laksa! Looks Pretty Wierd :/

Went for a buffet on saturday, never got around to posting the pics, so i'm doing it today!

The resaturant is called "Chilli Padi", it's somewhere around Bugis, on the street across the Bugis national library, specialises in Nonya dishes.

Used to go there pretty often, the high tea buffets are at good prices, with quite a variety!

Guess The Little Nonya has affected Singapore a lot, since in the past people could just walk in and get a seat, but now, you have to book ONE MONTH in advance!

On saturday itself there was a long queue of people hoping to get in, but of course, no reservations. Luckily my aunt booked us places last year.

Ok it was in December. To be able to get in on February, one has to book a seat in december? Can't imagine their business, the chefs must be working their hearts out.

The fun factor about the buffet is, u get to make ur own mee siam and laksa! Personally i favour the laksa more, but they both still taste great.

2009-02-06T19:51:00.004+08:00

It's friday!

Just realized that my hair is getting extremely long now. It practically covers my eyes. Gonna get it cut over the weekend, maybe I should ask for a shave.

Golf today was the same, except we now have 2 new coaches. Was SUPPOSED to go down to play 9 holes, but thanks to no one bringing their clubs, and the bad weather, we couldn't.

Well, it is kinda dumb that training starts at 5 and ends at 7, and it got even worse that the food stall there was closed! Was hoping to buy a hotdog there before sitting down there for the next 1 hour. Had to endure a growling stomach the whole day. Strangely, now i'm full.

I've finally found out the reason of why bus 14s are so so slooooow. I just saw, at the bust stop outside my house, 3 bus 14s stopped at a bus stop! A pretty strange phenomenon. If that's what happens to all bus 14s, then SBS should srsly rethink their routes.

Cheng Yu test today was scary! I hit a blank with many questions, but one way or another, I managed to fill in all. I did not cheat. Turns out that it's comfirmed, i got one question wrong. That's one mark gone.

FIFA Online 2 still doesn't work for me, so i'm just waiting for FIFA to fix the Internet Service Provider problem. I'm guessin the reason why it doesn't work is thanks to singtel.

2009-02-01T16:03:00.005+08:00

Wow, I killed a lizard without having any blood spilled.

Ok so here's what happened. I was just about to pull up my mozzie net when a lizard suddenly jumped into my room. It was about as long as 10 cm. So, the only choice at that time was to shut the mozzie net and hopefully chase the lizard out at the same time.

And apparently that lizard was a retard. I tried to usher him out by smacking a book in its face, but it just lay there unwaivered, so i shut the mozzie net down. And once again, idiots die. that lizard was so slow, even when i tried to close the net, it did not move and happily got it's head crushed by the closing net.

Pretty stupid once you see it, it died with a roti prata for a head. Gruesome, but no blood! Maybe it was dying anyway. Well, the entire disposal of the body was done by my mom, couldn't bare to look at the eyes of the lizard.....

Well, the morale of the story today for lizards is : get a life, and get some education. aka get smarter.

Apparently bigger lizards have iq issues.

2009-01-31T15:53:00.002+08:00

Posting for pure fun today!

I've gone through my playlist, and for people who want calm, soothing songs you can listen to these : Mad by Ne-Yo, Single by NKOTB, Free Loop by Daniel Powter, I'm Yours by Jason Mraz and Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden.

Those who feel energetic can take these :
Beautiful by Akon, Learning to Fall and Thunder by Boys Like Girls, Crush by David A, Tongue Tied by Faber Drive, and S.O.S by Jonas Brothers.

Well this playlist was put up with songs according to my preference, so once again, if you want a specific song to be put up tell me on the tagboard!

2009-01-30T20:14:00.004+08:00

Yup! Another post!

Managed to chiong finish my chinese worksheet on my way to school, luckily, zheng laoshi came over to our class to ask for work (sure saved me the trouble of finding her).

Played ygo again in class tagged with jereld against zhang xin and anthony, totally trashed the opposition. But then again, jereld was using banned cards. =.=

Hmm...Is my phone really that laggy? After playing one game of PES with JM and Kee Jin, which they complained was lagged. I wasn't that aware at first, but woah, when playing a match with the AI, my players seemed to be flying. I guess my mem chip has too much memory.

Golf Orientation was fun, all thanks to the free flow of drinks. For some reason they stopped the buffet, but lucky the drinks still survived! Ended faster than I thought, even the host was surprised. Lol.

Btw i added some songs to the IPhone/Itouch wadever it is. And yes, they are playable. I recommend listen to Insomnia by Craig David. It's the 2nd song in the list.

There are many songs in that list, but i think it'll be very tough to go through all of them. If there's any song you want me to add post it on the tagboard!

2009-01-29T16:37:00.005+08:00

Today was a great day. Got owned by jm once again in PES soccer, argh. gotta learn how to pass the ball properly.

Lessons were...well, a little less than fun today. For some reason I was struggling to keep my head up.

Went for dinner at east coast yesterday, some restaurant called "jumbo". the seafood was great, especially the chilli crab. Made a mess out of the table (The crab's shell was exceptionally hardy).

Played with the fish head, as usual. It's a habit of mine. Everytime i see a whole cooked fish, i just like to play with it's mouth, using chopsticks to move it's jaws. lol XD

Well I wanted to upload some pictures of the fish and the crab , but decided they would be too disgusting. Forgot to take pictures of the dishes when they first arrived.

Assorted Cashews!

2009-01-28T15:30:00.003+08:00

It's been sometime since I last blogged. Deleted and juz recently revived my old one for relink. Alright, to kick off this new blog and the new year, i'm just going to say WELCOME AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
