[NEWS FLASH!]
While leaving the LRT station, I saw this guy about our age standing on the steps of the station. He took a swig of F&N Groovy Grape, and quite literally spewed an arc of purple juice onto a road-cleaning vehicle below. Well, I thought he was a disgusting lout that happened to be loitering about with his fellow layabouts, until a middle-aged woman whom I presume to be his mother said [in chinese] in a I-am-pretending-to-scold-you, ha-ha-ha tone:"Eh....eh...I saw that...I saw that..." while smiling and wagging her finger at him.

Like WOW! With such ASTUTE parenting skills, it is no WONDER your offspring's idea of leisure is spraying grape soda out his mouth onto passing vehicles as millions starve in South Africa. [Note the sarcasm thick enough to withstand an artillery round.] And on the off-chance she is, in fact, his aunt, I would strongly advise her against discovering the Genetic Basis of Variation with her spouse lest her children enter the world with the wonderful discipline they experience under her care. Hence ends my caustic remarks on the interesting things I saw today. Hahaha.

Well, download the latest product on the market here! Made by the enterprising Benedict, these innovative Meridian-themed display pictures are customised for your personal needs, and guaranteed to turn heads! To your display picture, that is.

A variation by me.

I was chatting to my "sis" earlier(online friend) earlier. She's taking her 'O' levels(practicals first) soon, and this made me come to realise how fast time has passed. 1 year, just like that, gone? It seems like almost yesterday when I was waiting outside the Bio labs, with my pencil case, calculator and such. And how can I forget my Lethal Weapon? A 30cm metal ruler of epic proportions which I bought specially to defeat the 'O' levels with. Haha.

I still remember my hands shook during the first practical, Biology, and that Adrian sliced open his fingers too. All as if it were yesterday. I even recall I had a terrible cold that day, and out of desperation, I had to use the paper for drying out my diced carrot to blow my nose. Hahaha. The paper was well and truly "saturated" when I was done, which was lucky because whatever nasal fluids I had were getting harder to store. And I think that's a little too much information for some. =X

After the O's whizzed by the holidays, a period of insane hedonistic slacking, with hours of computer games and countless outings. Then the oh-so-wonderful 1st 3 months slipped by, day that count among the best of my lives. Who can forget the slipping out of SR, skipping of classes, ponning of lectures. All this to either go bowling or watch movies. (Remember we skipped that lame businesswoman's lecture to play truth or dare at the rock climbing wall? We got caught, but those moments PWNED!)

My stupid combi of computing and geog...haha. Many said it was weird. =X I remember bumping into Shawn, then in MJ, on the bus. The unstoppable OG gorging at Sakae, and OG outing, and the bowling trip. I skipped a computing class to watch Final Destination 3 with Sarah, Gina, and Marcus. The mad cam-whoring, the numerous outings. I can't name them all. Though they may not come here, or see this, the times we were among the best in the life. This short passage, this summary of the past events in my blog aren't enough to describe them all. I look forward to the day when I leisurely read every account of the past. Come to think of it...if I can just find...ah. I think the only group photo we took.

Now one year on, I stand looking at the future. One I'm unsure of. Coming here was tough. Wishing for every week to speed by as quickly as possible, living for the trainings, and the weekends. I just sped time up even more. Time to move on. I shall be eternally grateful if I can survive the next massacre that comes on the 2nd. I MUST make it. I've been studying, but as usual with every test in Mugland, comes ~~a big fat side order of fear, insane panic, and~~ doubt, ~~because it is almost certain with every test comes a merciless, brutal "cat culling" of the bottom.~~ ~~Controversial and the fastest way to the top. Oh sh!t. Should I post this?~~ =\ I just typed nothing. Remember that. Nothing.

And now, with the main attraction, shall we?

The Mugger - Chapter 4

"Ah. Great fun." Andy waved goodbye to his gang as he sauntered off. An hour or four of Counterstrike never did anybody any harm,thought Andy, grinning. Now back home to do a little mugging for dinner. I can score well and slack well now!

He leapt over a railing to take a short cut through the rear of the blocks, and splashed down in a puddle, splattering the side of his pants with grimy liquid. Swearing, he bent down to brush it off an promptly collapsed on the ground. Ugh! My foot! He tried to stand but his knee was numb. Limp as a wet rag, he had lost control of his legs. A searing pain shot up from them, and he screamed a howl of agony. The pain was neverending. He felt the numbness spreading up his body, and screamed but he couldn't made it stop.

It was crippling, and it was scaring him. He let out a howl mentally because the pain was such that it transcended the physical level."Idiot. You didn't mug."He thought he heard Zack's voice. Lying there in the grimy gutter behind the block, staring at the rapidly darkening sky and the effusive smears of red, orange, and yellow on the western horizon, he seriously thought he was dying. A mynah hopped on the ground next to him, and tilted its head, surveying his prostrate body.

Am I in heaven? He thought. No, you idiot. I'm here. Where are you now?
Near my house.
Ok, your hands should be able to move a bit. The lack of energy starts from the bottom of your body up. Exposure to screens like monitors or televisions sucks your mugging energy out faster. You won't die because you read Chem Equilibrium earlier, and it take at least one and a half days to fully paralyse you. Get your notes. Now!

Fine...don't...shout. With the last vestiges of his energy, Andy reached into his sling bag, and managed to remove some other notes. As he gradually brought them higher, he felt the flow of energy returning. The numbness started dissipating. With cold mud seeping into his back, he read. Ah. Functions, memorised. Sitting up, he shook his head and wondering if talking to Zack was his imagination.

Hello? I'm still here?
Ah! Whathef-?! He sprang up, looking around.
Yes yes, it's me. Now don't be alarmed. This is a form of telepathy. Once again, I, sigh, will explain. Because of our heightened mental powers, government researchers opened up new areas of our minds. They taught use to use our brain cells in ways we'd never have thought of. When I gave you my virus,the virus left carry a piece of my DNA, via specialised transduction. It helps identify a mugger by telling us who "converted" him, and we can trace the line. It enables you to telepathically communicate with me (only!) and in the event that I die, you do it. When all copies of the master DNA die, so do the other sections of it, no matter how far apart they are.

This way, in the highly improbably case that a mugger FAILS to understand a question in an exam, ding! Instant help from other muggers. A sort of Bluetooth for humans, no? If you wish to know why I know so much...that's because I was once of the pioneer batch. Secretly selected from children of civil servants, we were experimented on 10 years ago. I suggest you go home to clean up, and mug some more so you don't collapse on your way to school tomorrow.

[To be continued...]Sorry for typo errors, too tired to check.

Sorry guys. A bit late today. I forgot I hadn't blogged yet, because I was simply RIVETED by Jeffrey Archer's A Prison Diary. A stunning piece of work...can't wait to finish the trilogy. Hahaha. Did math today. If anything, I might get an S if all goes well. Failed the trial paper, but I used it to pick out topics I'm weak in and go through them again.

I must draw the motivaion to mug from somewhere, because I haven't been doing as much as the beginning of my MugFest. So I will try to intensify my mugging tomorrow. 10 hours again, anyone?

The Mugger - Chapter 3

What is this power surging through me? It courses through my veins like nothing I have ever felt before. Pretty soon, Andy was dashing along at the same speed at Zack. Everything around him seemed to be slowing down, and they moved at a rate faster than the rest."Why do I move so fast?" He asked, incredulous.

"Remember the strange feeling in your legs? That was the virus telling your cells to replicate more mitochondria. All school bells have a special frequency that triggers the virus in your brain to stop the inhibitors, and produce inducers, so your legs will produce fansattic amounts of energy. And no, it won't work during your 2.4 unless the school bell rings. So ding ding ding equals boom! Loads of ATP. The essence of the mugger. The effect is multiplied by the abnormal amount of mitochondrion in your muscle cells." Zack explained.
"For these few days, your brain will also memorise an exact map of this school. It recognises the conducive mugging environment,and stores the info before telling you the fastest route to get to your next class. This ensures you don't miss a single minute of a lesson, and helps you get an edge over the other students."

They stop at the door to the lecture theatre. Only a few early birds are straggling in. In an undertone, Zack whispers "I know you've got the Chem Equilibrum notes memorised, but please get some wrong. If we keep scoring full marks, they'll get suspicious. The revealing of the Mugger Clan is something we don't want. Ever." With this final statement, Zack pushed open the door and enters. None of their classmates are there yet. Andy sits down and gets ready. Yet, his hands are shaking. Is he nervous of using his newfound powers? The lecturer flashes the periodic table onscreen as the rest of their class files in. He feels the stares and shocked whispers as the class witnesses him sitting next to Zack, both the earliest to arrive.

Mike, one of Zack's gang sits behind him and taps his shoulder. "Hey, what are you-"
"Please stop talking and take out your pens. The test is starting soon!" Frowning, their Chemistry teacher Mr. Leet looks at Mike, admonishing him. He settles into the vacant seat next to him. Silenced, Mike takes out his pencil case and stares discombobulately at Zack and Andy. As the test scripts are distributed, Andy feels a familiar rush of adrenaline. Like magic, the pages of the notes floated up in his mind, and he started scribbling, remembering to get a few wrong.

His face flushed with excitement, Andy peeked at Zack to see that he was also writing at the same frantic speed. He had never experienced anything like it before. It was like his brain was alive, throbbing with energy, sparks firing up. It felt like what he had been put on this earth for. The furious scribbling went on for 40 minutes, before the final bell went. Zack waited. Nothing. Tapping Zack, "Why isn't there ATP?"

It's the end of the school day, mugger."
"Oh. Yeah...right."
"Wanna go mug with me and Calvin?" Zack motioned at another consistent top-scorer who was sitting next to them. He said it with the same matter-of-fact manner as though they were having dinner. In fact, they were having dinner. In note form, that is. He's not a mugger like us if you're wondering, Zack said under his breath.
"Oi! Want to go play LAN?" Mike waved at Andy from the steps of the theatre.
Surely a mugger can do fun stuff? Andy thought. No, I, um, have other stuff on, Andy mutters as he grabs his bag and scrambles out of his seat, heading for Mike. Surely nothing bad can come out of a few hours of Counterstrike?

In a strange way, I seem to be doing less work as the promos approaches. This is bad. Very bad. I think the 6 consecutive days of math have left me spent. Only refreshed my memory on Chem today. Argh. And I have a headache, which isn't exactly very conducive for studying. Maybe I should sleep earlier tonight. Hahahaha. Nope. I must try to get through more notes...(ow, there goes the head again)

Anyway...the story? Should I finish it? Lol. Like no positive or negative comments leh...hmm...oh well.

The Mugger - Chapter 2

Heart pounding in his chest, Andy watches as Zack lowers his canines to the artery. Gently, he feels the pointed ends of the canines break the skin, and then draw blood. Out of his pocket, Zack draws out something white and rectangular. Swiftly, he drags it across his skin, leaving a fine red line.

"Papercut," Zack mutters and then smiles, revealing his red-tinged teeth. Slowly and purposefully, he rubs his forearm across the tiny cuts in Andy's skin, allowing the blood to mix. Widening the wound, he forces more blood out to mingle with what is already oozing out of Andy's throat. I prefer to give my converts an interesting experience, he smirked. A hot rush spreads across Andy's skin, down his body, and up to his head. For a moment, iridiscent golden sparks of light shine in his pupils before fading away.

The pain is deep, deeper than any he has ever felt. It seems as though every capillary in his body is being torn down, and rebuilt again. The virus spreads throughout his body, changing what it was programmed to change. A prickly feeling starts to spread down his legs, as his head suddenly starts to hurt. The virus is working on his brain. Andy convulses, but Zack holds him still. After the effects of the virus have stopped, Zack gets off Andy, and helps him to a sitting position.

"So, how was it?" Zack pats Andy on the back.
"You jerk! What did you do to me?" Andy tries to lunge at Zack, but collapses. "You...you...have to reverse it! Like countering the effect of the stress or change by Le Chatelier's principle!" Andy's eyes widen in recognition.
"Shh...you'll be ok...you just need energy. Here take these notes." Zack holds up the chemical equilibrium notes in front of Andy.
"Stop it! Those notes aren't going to...wait! I see! For the first time I see clearly! Turn the page! Faster!"Andy devours the notes with his eyes, feeling a new wave of energy surge through him. Zack flips the pages faster and faster, until they are done, Andy panting, but flushed with energy.

"You are weak because you are a new mugger, and have not studied much. When not actively used for studying, the brain cells produce an inhibitor that stops production of energy. It was used as a punishment for those who disobeyed. No notes for a day and a fully read mugger would be on his knees. It's also the incentive for us to mug. The newfound energy...is addictive. This is why muggers mug everyday..."

Arm trembling, Andy picks up the notes, and looks at them in wonder. "What happens...if I don't mug?"
"Simple. You'll be dead within 48 hours. Your body prevented from producing energy, your heart will shut down from lack of it."
"Then...I shall become a mugger." Andy leaps to his feet, raring to go."Wait. I already am one..."

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
"The last bell! We're gonna be late for the test!" Zack grabs his bag and speeds out of the closet. "Wait! How do you move so...fast?" Andy grabs his bag, and stepping out, feels a surge of power...
[To be continued...]
so how was Chapter 2? Tags, anyone? Lol.
[UPDATE]
I just discovered www.myheritage.com, and its FUN. With a capital F, U, and N. Check this out.

I mean, omg, Bae Yong-Jun? Hahahaha...I'll just put this up and wait for the fangirls to come. No, i'm kidding. Haha...then I also ran Val's face through it cos I was mass convo'in with her and Ben at that times. Guess what, she looks 74%(!!!!!!) like Michelle Branch. Like, OMGZOR? And 50% like...better not say. Hahaha...

This day was the same as before...judging by my blog,I've been doing maths everyday for...OHMYGOD the last 6 days! No wonder I've been so unreceptive to doing maths lately. I spent the whole day in front of the TV and doing math. =\ Well at least, its a few hours. Same old, same old...

Well now, since I'm not blogging about mugging (o_O) today, what shall I write about. How about a series of short stories about muggers? Hahaha...Quite tempting. Should I??? =\ I'll think about it. Since I'm already slacking now. Shit! I'm slacking? =\ Oh well...
[UPDATE]
Damn I couldn't resist. Its just to waste time. The story will probably end up being very ridiculous and all, but hey? Lol.

(All persons or events in this story are completely fictional, and are products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to person or persons living or dead are purely coincidental.)

The Mugger - Chapter 1(?)

"Le Chatelier's Principle: When a system in equilibrium is affected by a stress or change, it reacts in a way to...to...fight? No...reverse?...argh! I can't memorise it!" Andy slammed his notes down on the bench, glaring furiously at them. "I hate this place!" Picking up his notes, he tries once more to memorise. Fuelled by panic and fear of the impending Chemistry test, nothing he reads goes in.

"Hey, you ok?" A hand gently finds its way onto his shoulder. "You look like you need help." Andy turns around malevolently and see his classmate, Zack, grinning at him. Oh no, not one of those muggers, Andy thinks. "Maybe if I hit him with my lectures notes, I might be able to stun him and escape!" As his hand tightens on the notes, ready to bring it down on his assailant's head...

"I can help you pass this test. And it'll take only a little time..."
"You have got to be kidding me. How?"
"Come along this way, and I'll show you."
Their footsteps echo down the silent hallways as Zack leads the way to a utility closet.
"Here?"
"Yes, here. Now do you want to pass or not?"
"Fine, fine..."

Zack squeezes in and sits on an overturned bucket. "It's obvious you have been mugging, have you not? Yet you still don't pass your tests..."
"You don't have to rub it in! Well, I hate this place...until I came here, I never mugged before. I used to laugh at muggers! Here, everyone is doing it!"
"Ah, but you cannot be blamed for that." Intrigued, Andy leans closer to listen...
"You see, to improve grades, the Government have made it a secret order for all schools to install M-ray emitters in all the fluorescent lights in the school. Everywhere you go, you're bombarded with M-rays."
"You're nuts." Put off, Andy gets up to leave, but...
"No, wait! Listen! The M-rays are of a certain wavelength that agitates the brain cells! They supposedly increase rate of learning, which causes us all to mug! Logical?"
"Quite..."

"Now it occasionally doesn't work on people, say you, for instances. In these cases...You need special help. Perhaps you'd like to join the muggers?"
"I thought I was already one? A lousy one though."
"No, you have it wrong. Muggers are a separate...category of people. We have been infected by a virus, spread only by blood to blood transmission. This unique M-virus was formulated by the government to give our students and edge over others. However, one of the subjects rebelled, and purposely spread the M-virus to his other friends. This is why real muggers are so prevalent now. Unable to control the spread since it was logistically impossible to test every smart kid for the virus without arousing suspicion, the project was abandoned."
"That sounds like a movie."
"Believe me, it's true all right. If you wish, I could turn you into a full-fledged mugger now. The virus spreads instantly, exciting synapses, and increases brain activity. Anything, anything you read will be instantly memorised. The effect is similar to that of having photographic memory. Plus, you'll always have that ability, and other as long as the virus thrives in you."
"Well...I guess you only live once. Hit me."

A blur leaps at Andy knocking him over. He cries out as a hand roughly covers his mouth and holds his head still, as the blur rests on Andy's chest. His shocked screams are unheard as Zack lowers his head. Heels kicking frantically, Andy fails to throw off Zack, with his seemingly superhuman powers. His breathing becomes shallow, and Andy hyperventilates. Heart pumping frantically and with adrenaline coursing through his veins, Andy's pupils dilate as he watches Zack lower his head ever closer to that rich pumping artery of life...
[To Be Continued]

Comments? Sorry if it sucks, but I haven't exactly been writing narratives for the past few months... Think my last composition was for O levels...hahaha

Another day of mugging...er,this is getting repetitive isn't it? Lol. I guess there's nothing much more to say. I've planned a revision schedule for the next few datys, compared to earlier when I just grabbed something and mugged. This one's easier to ofllow. Lol.

Hi all. Missed blogging for one day. Haha. Well, yesterday was quite well spent. Got about 10(again!) hours of mugging. I reached Changi Airport at 1 plus, had lunch and mugged with Eliza and her sis. They soon chased us away at lunch time =| so we went to the viewing mall to mug. Was pretty diffcult to do my work on the chair since my legs kept getting numb but I did it anyway.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you paradise.

The viewing mall must be some kind of Mecca/Heaven/Valhalla for muggers. Throw a stone and you'd hit a mugger. Well, ok maybe 2 stones. But still! The rest are people who drag their families and screaming kids along into the Highest Concentration of Muggers I have ever seen since I became one, surpassing even Mugland's library during the J2 prelims. The muggers were everywhere from lower sec students to JC types, and in every nook and cranny, like secluded hollows leading to small staircases. Why do they seek out enclosed spaces? I have no idea. The rest congregate along the walls or the chairs, engrossed in their books/notes.

We studied till 6pm, then took 27 back home. I felt a painful sense of longing when I passed the Tampines SAFRA. The urge to go in and hurl heavy things and make stuff fall down. Lol. Anyway I later met Shawn and we went to Mac's at R'vale plaza to try and thon, aka mug to the next morning. We kept mugging till pretty late, watched some Naruto(Youtube), then the battery went flat. =.= The power point was spoilt so I couldn't charge it. No more internet. In the end we gave up, and went back. Reached my home at 4.50am (wow) and watched Naruto until 7am. Shawn left for home then I just flopped into bed and slept till 1pm. Woke up, watched 2 hrs of TV, mugged a bit, but prolonged maths wasn't for me. Decided to try out chem, but came online...gonna memorise Chem later.

This proves that Math kills...bugs.

Yeah. Last day of school. It the Mugging Holidays a.k.a Study Break! I can sleep late, wake late, and study too! Lol. Was a pretty ok day. Went home, wanted to sleep, but wasted it watching TV. Recapped some math notes, but didn't do much. Wanted to go out to thon at Mac till tml morn, and get Shawn to help me with some math, but his grandma wouldn't let him go. Haha. So I stayed home and got frustrated printing math revision exercise.

For some reason, my father loaded the printer (above capacity I think) with paper of all grades, rough and thick, and slick and thin, and some with the corners clipped off, and with other printings on the back. Which totally jammed out the thing. =.= I dunno what the hell was he thinking. The loaded paper was like 2cm thick, and there was some stuff about Macdonald's on the back, which looked like a project by my sister but was not! And the paper got jammed, so, because I couldn't remove it with one hand, I had to do it Loony Tunes style with one foot on the printer, two hands on the papers, and yanking with all my strength, which resulted in a loud Whirrrrrr-gggzzbt from the whatever-was-inside.

I got so irritated at the fact that the paper was screwing up 4 documents worth of questions, it wasn't exactly doing wonders for my health. Plus, I'm not even sure if I can complete it...zzz

If only the below conversation were true, it would be hilarious...[read to the end]

John:Hey...Haven't seen you in a while
Jack:Yeah...so how're you doing in Some Other JC?
John:Fine! How's about you?
Jack:You know, JC stuff.
John:Oh really...hmm since we're all above 16 now...tell me, have you done it?
Jack:It?
John:You know, it?
Jack:Oh That. Sure, I have. Everyone does it here!
John:Wow! So...how many times have you done it?
Jack:Oh, loads. Can't really remember actually...
John:Amazing...
Jack:Haha...I do it everywhere too, on the bus, in school, at home, in the toilet...
John:No way!
Jack:Yes way. And I even do it while eating.
John:Eating? How?
Jack:Well, I just open the lecture notes and memorise.
John:Lec...ture notes.
Jack:Yeah. Aren't you referring to mugging?
John:...
John: I was referring to watching an NC-16 movie.

Ok...gotta do this quick before going back to maths. Hmmm, was a pretty ok day I guess. Can't wait for tomorrow, last day of school, then promos, then intensive training! Yays. Well I spotted sth funny after PW when Conrad was walking across the grassy patch in front of C block. He sorta swept an area of grass with his foot, smiling, before sauntering off, and then taking a backward glance and smiling at it. Lol.

There was this Compass session which involved stress management. At first I thought, boring talk by some unknown figure from some office. Turns out it was pretty good, with loads of laughter. Haha. Well for my character type to detress I need to:
-Listen to Music
-Be Alone
-And some other stuff I forgot.
Haha. Well, turns out I discovered that some time ago myself. Whenever I studied, I would turn on the radio, and stay alone in my room. Hehs. Worked for my 10 hours marathon with bio.

Hmm...I also discovered I have a love-hate relationship with Bleach. The show is totally awesome and all(to me), but the dastardly producers always find a way to insert a climax exactly as the show ends, which means an extra exciting truncunated cliff-hanger ending. I know its the best way to keep people hooked, but it's so infuriating...haha. Everytime it ends, there will be an inevitable curse from me. And an overwhelming urge to finish everything on Youtube. But I resist. Haha. I prefer to see it in its full size glory on the TV. Right. That's it.

Another day...failed the second time trial...again, careless mistakes, know the method but apply wrongly. Hais. I must rmb to check my freaking answers...the s.f. caused me to lose marks. I BETTER make it for math and Chem this promos...came back to slack a bit, read the papers, watched TV. Doing math now. i've neglected it these few days. Oh well, back to differentiation.

Yet another day on the way to school. The same grim grey blocks and dreary blue buildings...

At least the scenery is nice. Lol. Yet another Tuesday, not unlike the tens of other Tuesdays I've had in this place. At least least the library remebered my birthday.

No, really. No disrespect, but my birthday falls on Sept 11. And the library set up a 9/11 corner with books related to the tragedy.

Then Conrad taught us "How to fail Paper 2" See the board. Lol. And I finally got something decent for PW. Not perfect, but 90% readiness. Not bad considering the 30% jump from 60 yesterday. Hahas. Now that's more like it. Well, was taking out my MP3 just now when it slipped outta my hand. And hit the floor. Ouch, but it didn't hurt. As much as it should anyway. My Creative's been through loads of bumps and scratches, so much so that almost all the marks on it have faded. Still, it works in perfect condition. =] What really matters is what's inside, right? Now let us applaud that Disney moment. Hahaha...anyway the batt cover snapped off and can't attach anymore, so my MP3 looks like...surprise, surprise

Lol...Well...it's kind of reasonable considering how long I've had it..haha...

I know some of you out there don't like me. Let me tell you this. I don't give a shit. About you or your reason. As long as I feel the majority like me for who I am, I will be who I want to be as long as it doesn't hurt people. As for people like you, you can go perform a back cross with your parent generation. Pfft. Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter. I am who I am. Eat this, dickhead. Hahaha. You are seriously mistaken if you think I give a rat's butt about your whiny-arsed opinion.

LOl. Emo period over le...I guess sometimes there are ups and downs in life and the peaks differ really greatly. For now my motivation is to really make if thru the promos so I can stay with my class up to J2, and....GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!! Yeahhhh!~ LOl. So I really must work hard. For my sake, I must force myself to work really hard. Mugging sucks, but "There's No Solution", to quote Sum41. Lol. Onward to victory! I hope. And I wanna pwn PW too. Hahahaha...take that, Conrad. =P

I've revised my blog to fit in with my new "average mood", which, assuming happy is the average level, would be below average. Due to promos and other stuff. Interpreting the message on my blog...I'm just using it to display this short saying which I thought of by coincidence many months ago, but saw no opportunity to use it. I felt it was pretty interesting, since basically no one (to my knowledge) has thought of it before. It's original and it's MINE. I know the layout is similar to the old one, but I don't exactly have a lot of inspiration at a time like this. I just remembered the promos and my mood took another dip. Damn. Ok, I seriously need to mug more.

Teh Emo Post

Hais. I am feeling emo now. How do I know that? Well, apart from the hollow emptiness within me, and the fact that I'm typing this on my bed in a corner of my darkened room, it isn't that hard to tell. So I come on here to...what? Talk about it? Haha. Fat chance. My tagboard's down again, but life goes on. Who really cares? No one. Does anything we do really matter?

I'll probably wake up in the morning and think, wow, I can't believe I wrote that. Or maybe I won't. I might get over it. I don't know. Thanks to those who have expressed concern, I'll sms you if need be. For now I'll let it eat me up inside. So far I'm only trusted one person with my deepest thoughts, and the funny thing is, I've never met that person before. You know who you are. Thanks for listening. =] Such is the strangeness of human nature, eh? Trust is a quirky thing. Damn I'm writing in a lot of short sentences. Lol.

Humans are fragile creatures will emotions, no? We can't live with them, and we can't live without them too. Either way, nothing really matters in the Grand Scheme of Things. Yet we put so much emphasis on the Now. Still, if we don't, we'd get anarchy. Just removing the "organised" from the "chaos" we have now. One word. I think being emo is just the mid-life crisis of teenagers, ya?

You lose the drive to do anything. That's not gonna be good when I do my EoM tomorrow. Do I have to think of work now? Ugh.Still feeling emo. Where are people when you need them? I'm gonna try to sleep now. Try. Will I get into KI if I get them to read this? Why do I have so many rhetorical questions? Life sucks so much it's not even fun to say it anymore. Wish me well.
[UPDATE]
How are you supposed to do work when you're not even motivated to do it? Well I did my EoM at least. But I don't trust him. Oh, no. I don't trust that sneaky look in his eyes. Don't trust nobody, they say. So I printed two copies. That way, if he doesn't return my 4th draft before the deadline, I won't be caught out. I'll be able to hand in SOMETHING at least, albeit an unchecked verison of my EoM. And if he does, say, return it ON the deadline itself, I'll be keeping a copy in my MP3, so I can edit and print it on the day itself in the library. Luck favours the prepared. So I'm preparing myself for every eventuality.

I don't trust him one bit. In the past I didn't understand why some people disliked him. I thought he was ok. Now I know he's not. I'm not gonna repeat myself since i've already ranted about the late return of my EoM. He was not obliged to mark it ASAP, but I gave him weeks to do it. And he returned it 5 days before the deadline. Technically it was 2 because I had to study for Bio on Friday, and there was the weekend. =.= Whatever. I just wanna do the EoM well and get it over with.
[UPDATE]
This weekend has gone to pot. I netted about 10 hours of practicing chem and math with Eliza on Fri and Sat, did my EoM and redrafted my GP essay today. My self control disintegrates at night...if I force myself to mug now, it won't be of much use...so what now?

9/16/2006 09:59:00 PM

Woke up super late. 1220. Got up, did the usual and left to meet with Eliza at Kovan Mac. Mugged from 1.30 to 8.00. After deucting talking and eating dinner, probably about 6-7 hours net. Haha. Good stuff. Thanks to mugging, I drank 2 regular and 1 medium coke today, ate 1 box of McNuggets, and 1 medium fries and 1 McChicken. So much for the PE lecture. And DAMN you Mugland. I have to eat all that junk cos of mugging.

Must say I love Kovan's Mac after it's been renovated. MUCH nicer than the old design. I heard Shawn went bowling with the twins. Good la...lol. JC screws you upside down a lot...I think they should have "Health hazard!" signs all over the place. To correct the information failure, you see...JC will turn you into a mugger, and make you emo. I think its...secret M-ray emitters that the school hides in its flourescent lights. The M-rays use a hidden wavelength and change the chemical composition of your brains by destroying cells which tell you to slack and rebel...

Anyway today was pretty interesting. They were playing the feed from the McTV (ha-ha) near where we were sitting. It was happy jazz. I don't like happy jazz. So I blasted my MP3. Mmm...KoRn. Hahaha. At least something better. I need a minimum of rock. =P Noisy kids screaming? MP3. Also I saw a Maple prepaid card on the floor. it was there all bright red and grey on the brown floor and people were just walking around it! Don't people ever look where they're going? And there were 5 pri school kids exercising their vocal cords, shrieking all over the place and none of them noticed it!

After considering for a while, I consulted with Eliza and we both agreed I go take it. Hehs. So I did, and it's unopened. Whoo! $10.50 in magical buy-an-avatar-for-90-days-and-then-it-disappears-poof! Gave it to my sister. Lol. Have to do EoM tomorrow...hais. I think he's evil. That smile of his...it seems like he knows something more than you. Or he's planning something...like wth? If you're say a 26 standard, on your essays, you'll probably get 25,26,27 around there right?

For me? Noooooo...29 all the way! It's like he's teasing me! 1 mark away from not having to do a redraft! Argh! Now, I'm gonna freak out over my EoM because of HIMMMMM!!!!!111one!! I handed it in before the Sept hols because I thought, hey, I wanna get this over with and do my WR. I got it back last Thursday. I read his blog, and guess what? He wentttt FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFishing! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFishing!!! He was marking our EoMs DURING the PW lessons...what was he doing during, no BEFORE the holidays. I'm not saying teachers can't have breaks, but to be fair, think how many days ago some students handed in! WE gave him plenty of time to play golf, go fish, and relax...and he marks our EoM when school reopens during PW period.

Now there's only 2 days to the submission deadline(not counting weekend), and what if he returns it to me late again!?! Whose's fault is it now? mon and Tues, and if he returns on Tues, I submit on the next day and he doesn't evn get to evaluate it. And i'm at 60% readiness. Pure evil. And he's gone fishing again today...

Came to school ok today. Was stoning instead of reading my notes. Nothing much interesting...Bio test sucked. had no time to complete. Just rushed through the end. After school went home to slack off a bit. Made a video for fun but not sure if I should upload it on Youtube. (NO, it's not about me mugging.) I'm gonna try to make another one from my CCA. Haha.

Left at 3.15 to go to Kovan Mac, met up with Eliza to mug. Life in SR was so fun back then. Now they're a thing of a past. Everyone's gone their separate ways now. Haha. Afterm ugging came home, wanted to play pool, noone free. Bowlig, too expensive. Went to the park near my home, the tables and benches were wet. Went home to go online...=\

MugMode is temporarily off, but I'll turn it on tomorrow. I'll try using it for 10 hours tomorrow, if my circuitry doesn't fry by then. Since I've already survived once, why not do it again? Promos are...16 days away. What else can there be in my life? I cannot wait for the mugging to stop. Seriously. Argh. I never thought I'd ever be one. Must be some sort of self preservation instinct...to the MugMobile!
Vroooooom!!!
[UPDATE]

9/14/2006 10:58:00 PM

The effects of my 5 hours of sleep a day are starting to kick in. I'm running on 10 or so hours of sleep for the past 48 hours, and catching up on my sleep on the bus ride was not a good idea as I discovered this morning...I stupidly awoke, and returned to sleep one stop before MJ this morning, safely ensconced in the belief that my internal clock would as always wake me up on time. Too bad my internal clock was out of power.

I was somewhere in the middle of darkness when I was awoken by a tap. I saw this guy(think he's a friend of Shawn, seen him around, but never talked to him) looking at me before walking away. I glanced out to see the familiar blue-and-white busstops of Pasir Ris, and the melancholy blue and gray colour scheme of Mugland before uttering an "Oh fuck!" and scrambling outta there.

Today was ok I guess. Econs test, some stuff I wrote, some didn't. We had a PE lecture on the PURE UNADULTERATED EVIL of consuming junk food (gasp!), and of how much calories we would gain from eating this and that. Too bad the demand curve is highly insensitive to changes because we consumers love junk food, hence it is very steep. So this attempt to correct information failure did not work that well, as consumers must be receptive to it.

Oh I forgot this picture of EmoBen.

Danson proposed to EmoBen today in PW, but they later divorced. Aww.

Then we took a PW group photo! ^^ EmoBen, Me, KiaMing, Pris, Anmari. Da best PW group ever? =P

Then when school ended, I captured this cool photo of Ben staring at the rain.
"One raindrop, two raindrops, three raindrops..."

And...no prizes for guessing what I did on the bus home. That's right. I missed 2 no. 89s, waited about 1/2 hour, got on, and prompotly dozed off. Woke a few times, when when I did it the last time..."WTF?! Hougang?" Lol. So, I got off, walked to Hougang Mall, and took the MRT and train home...

Hark! Is that my lecture notes I hear?
Singing so softly, so sweetly,
the clear notes hang in the air.
Mug me, mug me, they gently beckon
Or you're gonna fail bio, I reckon.
Mix with Genetics, dance with Variations,
And let's not forget that lac operon.
I bid thee farewell my friends;
to my notes I go.
Will I mug or not?
none shall know.

Chem test...was ok. No time to complete. Some qns blank. Hopefully can pass. Mugged Econs at SKCC again today. Went home, studied a bit got distracted. Hais. I dunnno what the hell am I doing. Zzz. The rate of reivsion is very very slow. Also I'm feeling rather weird now. I can't really describe it. After staring at my picture for a while,it got my mind thinking in all sorts of funny ways.

Namely about life and existence.Sure I'm preoccupied with my life, (who isn't?)but for now I'm seeing the actual significance of it. It's seeing myself for what I am. Just a body to hold a soul in. Nothing much in the Cosmic Scheme of things. I feel ling I'm living a life I should not, not on this plane at least. Very very weird. And the lives of people all around...are all significant and yet unimportant at the same time. That feeling is really hard to describe. It just makes you question existence. And the menaing of life. And what you are. It's this kind of stuff that makes your mind go in funny ways. A question for KI students...lol

I better stop now and mug econs...lol

Cool! My 200th post. Gee, I really hate to keep talking about work, but it's the only thing in my life since coming to Mugland. Nothing much else is happening out there...I need my freedom...hais. Well, today was cute. Danson and gang were racing to class to try and beat the first people there. Haha. Chem test tomorrow, Econs test on Thur, Bio test on Friday. Total suckiness. Have to mug everyday for the rest of the week. Can't wait for Friday...hahaha...not only do I gain temporary freedom, I get to go study with some old friends. =] Yayness. Good, my dad fired up the ol' coffee maker. More fuel to study...grr...ciao.I think I'm not just a professional mugger anymore. I'm a mugalomaniac.

May the knowledge be with you.

Guess what day it is... '->- [] [] -<-'

Yeah, my birthday. Yet, one more quietly celebrated day. But hey, I'm not complaining. I would like to thank all the people who remembered my birthday (it's not that hard, is it? =P) Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. =] I'm also gonna feel bad cause I'm probably not gonna remember your birthdays...=X Sorry! Hehs.Thanks to all who wished me well through sms, in person, or by testimonial.

Well, this birthday is just like others I had, a normal day, then a probably a special meal at home or outside. Today in school was ok I guess...quite sleepy but I made it...haha. Went for for steamboat dinner, and that was it. For those looking for *cough* *cough* gifts *splutter* can *choke* see my wishlist in my profile *gasp*. Nah, I'm just kidding. But I would mind though if... =P

Anyway, what I wanna get to is that bad stuff happens. On my birthday. Let's see:
Pri 4-My grandma passed on a few days before Sept 11, so I couldn't celebrate it.
Pri 6- 9/11 terrorist attacks
Sec 2-My hamster died on my birthday. Way to break my tender 14 year old heart. Haha.
Sec 4-Totally couldn't remember what happened on that day. Too traumatic? Lol.
JC 1-MSN encounters login problems worldwide for several hours. Some are affected, some not. i'm one of them. =.=

After all those examples...o_O What else could happen. Anyway. I should go. I am so dead tomorrow. Not to mention sleepy. =.=

Short recap. Couldn't come online ytd due to unforeseen circumstances. Yesterday, went to SKCC again to myg with Sixu and Siwei. Took pictures of the extremely inconsiderate men who were sauntering about in an area that clearly stated NO SMOKING. One of those stickers was pasted on every pillar, and next door was a police station. =.= I had half a mind to get them all slapped with a thousand dollar fine.

Well, went for dinner with my cousins later on in the evening. We were nearly late...lol. My sister ordered fish and chips, which later came with these two gigantic pieces of fish!

Then we took a picture at the end. =]

Taken on the esplanade rooftop.

I just shook the camera to see what came out.

A better unblocked view taken by the bay...
So anyway, I came out found the internet had gone and killed itself for no reason. Was pretty irked about that, since it apparently happened for no reason! Anyway, had to reset everything. Took a while. Mugged today. But woke up at 11. Was sleeping with the aircon on last night, so comfortable. Lol. School's starting tomorrow. What a letdown...zzz. I must increase my mugging intensity. I got a rave review from lingxuan about my short film, 10 Hours. Watch it if you haven't. It's one of the posts below, or search 10 Hours on Youtube. Lol.

Went bowling today. Hell, it sucked at first, then I realised my mistake. I was, as you say enlightened? Hahaha. My games went from cowshit to sky-high. Lol. I was doing everything pretty much nicely now, managed to score my personal best today of 184, and got a turkey and 4 beggar(or is it bagger? lol).

Anyway, who should come along to ruin my good mood but this abnormally retarded woman. Allow me to rant for a moment. Last year, another incident occurred at the SAME MRT exit barrier because of the inconsiderate, selfish and brainless actions of this ~~ape~~ man. I tapped out of the barrier and was about to walk through when this buffoon tapped his card at the same time and pushed through the barrier with his baby pram.

It did not seem to penetrate his thick skull that I was about to exit, and the fare deducted was MINE. SO this incompetent nincompoop brusquely pushed through, and the barrier closed. Like omgwtf you idiot it deducted MY fare! MY FARE! Then he turned around at my protests and what I said about him STEALING my exit etc did not seem to click. I think his skull could have withstood a sledgehammer. Thankfully the sane intelligent folks in the control room seemed to relaise this and open the barrier. I'd like to see that gorilla figure his way out of the exit when he technically did not tap in. =.=

So now this woman, today, seemed BLIND to the fact that I was WALKING THROUGH the barrier. I was halfway through when this halfwit tapped her card, which somehow closed the barrier on my thigh. I swore before the thing sensed me and opened up again. As I recovered from the amazing stupidity of this woman, I heard the callous laughter of this young B!TCH. Probably around sec 2 or 3, I couldn't catch her face. I was, and am thoroughly infuriated. First I had to get caught in the barrier, no thanks to the woman with a negative 10 IQ, and this girl has to add insult to injury. Let's see if it's still funny if I shve your face into the barrier.

And as if to further demonstrate her lack of higher cognitive skills, all she did was stare at me and the barrier with her mouth agape like a fucking goldfish. YOU did it woman! Yes, YOU! Then she tapped her card and rushed through as though afraid the barrier would clamp her too. You effing retard!!! It's not gonna clamp you, YOU did it to me. These people just make my day. I think to call them stupid would be an insult to stupid people.

Is it so hard to comprehend someone-is-exiting-let-them-through-before-tapping-your-effing-card? And she doesn't even realise it's her doing. I was pretty stunned at what she did to me with her primitive intelligence, I was lost of words. Had I regained my senses, I would have had words with her. Namely hokkien words. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Wow, I didn't realise I was so pissed off. Now that all that is out of my system, I am less likely to throttle the next person who irritates me. Just release all the anger...=D Now where was I? Oh yeah, so I went to buy a Starbucks Grande Caramel Frappucino to cool off. Bumped into Yongzhi at Sengkang CC, then Shawn came along and then mugged. Till 2230 plus before leaving. Before we left, I made up some, uh, pirated versions of MJ chants. Lol. Just poking fun at our study-intensive lifestyle only. And then I came across this article my aunt emailed. =X

New Paper ,Sept 8 2006, "Students Vent Anger at School through Online Bashing"

"YEARS ago, students used to bad-mouth school principals they dislike behind closed doors.

Today, they're doing it online, despite schools having avenues for feedback. (See report on right.)"

"Students, it seems, are taking their discontent online instead of discussing it with the school authorities."

"A Sec 3 student said: 'I think it's easier for students to discuss their dissatisfaction online anonymously than take it up with the school."

"On students who post blogs critical of the school, Mrs Neo said that the school has taken action only against students who used coarse or vulgar language."

Well. I did it. Mugged for 10 hours today. I'm not sure if that's something I should be proud of...lol. Started at 9.45, ended at 10pm. 1 hour dinner break, 1/2 hour lunch break. The extra 45 mins is a buffer for the time I spent visiting the toliet, refilling my cup, getting distracted.

Well. I went downstairs to collect some books from my aunt, had to waste some mugtime. Don't think one of them is mine. It's called "The Light in the Attic". From the way it smells, it sure seems like it came from an attic. Then, the cat returned. And my mum chased it away again. To the 14th floor. Later at night, the cat retured AGAIN! This time with super powers. I heard its mewing, but couldn't find i anywhere. o_O

Anyway, this mugging spree has a weird effect on me. I don't seem to have enthusiasm for anything at all. Like it's sucked the life outta me. Weird eh? I think I'll do it again tomorrow?

Lame, but I couldn't resist.

Blogger is currently the most retarded site ever. First of all, I totally can't use it on the other com because virtually all buttons are missing. So, I try it with this com, and what do you know? Everything's fine. Well, almost there. =.= Lousy piece of crap. Then while moving from room to room because I had to transfer my pics, i nearly kicked the bedpost, but lifted my leg too late, and ended kneeing it. Frickin' crappy site...have to go to so much trouble to post something...

Anyway, I decided to play a new game today. recommended by the principal. it's called Quest for Enlightenment: MJ.Here's a screenshot.

Now that's the first mission of all, and it's very tough. It's an RPG and you have to mug bio for as much time as possible to get a high score. You have stuff like an MP3 and songs and snack to aid you, but the obstacles are crazy. I started the game like this, but failed to complete the mission. I think i'll try replaying it tomorrow.

See, your character has to bathe, to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and to visit the toilet. you have to complete these as quickly as possible to get the max amount of time studying, and still fight boredom. So I started by locking myself in my room without the com, or my novel. Just the notes. And then thing went crazy.

See, I learnt there was a cat outside the house, and my sister was near-hysterical. So i tried to chase it away with a broom. It went to the 16th floor, and I lost loads of mugtime. Then, I suffered from mental block, and nothing went in at all. I went to watch Bleach, wasted 30 mins of mugtime. Then i just quit the mission and went off to watch a movie. I will attempt to replay it tomorrow. 9am to 9 or 10 pm to make up for mugtime wasted. Hais.
You Are 32% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.
How Evil Are You?

Huh. I typed a whole chunk. And I accidentally CLOSED the page. Nevermind. I think it's fated. Forget it. Some...potentiall deadly stuff inside? And blogger on this com is screwed, the useless thing that it is. Can't recover post. Long retarded story about the closing.

Anyway I got a glimpse of technology in the future. Shawn told me hewas doing work on a piece of paper, and he did something wrong. So he reached over to the keyboard and pressed ctrl-z...LOLOLOLOL xD

About tomorrow.

Today was fun, lah. Was on the LRT to Compass point when YM msged me to say sixu can't make it, and that he thuoght that it was on Thursday. I was like WTF! I msged him at 7.30PM yesterday! How can he not hear his Song Ericsson Walkman Phone ringing! Plus you can't possibly think he's sleeping by then. Well YM told him to check his phone, then "Oh shit." Happy liao lor.

So i went to KFC, met Shawn, and he got pissed cos the twins were always standing us up at the last minute, and he din't want to go anymore, so we decided to cancel everything, and messaged everyone. Then, YM got pissed, cos he was already dressed and we told him not to go out. And calven seemed super-sian. Wonderful demonstration of the Chaos Theory right? Supposedly Sixu was informed last-min that he would have extra tutorials. So by-by EDA outing, by-by Monster house,by-by pictures. Sweet wonderful joy.

So we just heck-it-let's-do-what-Muglanders-do-best and went home to grab our stuff and go mug at Sengkang CC. Well, was playing Zeromancer on the laptop I brought and enjoying free internet access when the idiot owner of one of those mobile stores came along and said I wasn't supposed to use the plug. (I was charging my laptop) Sure, I unplugged it, but WTF, if the gahmen provides free net, why wouldn't it provide power points!!!

=.= Macdonalds, KFC, Starbucks, practically everywhere that has wireless internet access provides a few power points. Then I realise why. The selfish woman that she was had an iBook...pro lah... Must be she was afraid she would have to charge her iBook later, so she wouldn't let me use it. =.=

Later Suyi came along, rummaged through Shawn's wallet. This is the amount of receipts he keeps in his wallet.

Then we went to play bowling. Ok I guess. lol. 130-140 and house ball. Then we went to have dinner at this Hong Kong Cafe next to Heartland Mall. Food is still the same delicious fare. Hehs. See the place I recommended isn't bad right? Wonderful dinner. Then we went to Yong Ming's house where we and Shawn were assaulted by his dog. Except Suyi. Why wasn't she touched? I'll never know...lol.

YM was watching anime on the com, then Suyi watched My Lovely Samsoon, and so did I and Shawn(we were seeing if it was lethal for guys), hoping the hypnotic waves would not recognise us as non-ostreogen carriers and liquefy our brains. Fortunately nothing of the sort happened. (Just kidding lah!!! [Later all the Korean drama-mad people kill me])

Then my mei sent me this chain sms in chinese and apologised. I took one look at it, got a rough idea and burst out laughing. Then I told her no worries, my chinese sucks so bad, when I saw that sms, I couldn't even bother reading it. I probably wouldn't be able to if i wanted to. Like hey, why try to read it when it's bad? Lol. So I deleted it. I probably comprehended 30-40% of it only. And that boys and girls, is how you turn a weakness into a strength. =P

Well, we left at 11, then I remember this creepy house I saw last time outside the bus-stop. In the dark, the angle of the palm trees around it would perfectly cover its edge, so if you looked at it, it produced a disturbing effect of the house fading into the sky itself. Plus, Shawn noted if you concentrated on the leaves, there appeared to be 3 red rectangles in mid-air, which was either cool or freaky.

Monster House!

Not-so-nice picture. I'm gonna take a better one next time.

[Ok I'm going off to sleep, early, if this is what you consider it that. Going to attempt to mug for 11 hours of Biology tomorrow. Just watch me. Well if I'm bored I might change subject. I've decided to stop doing homework; i've already done plenty of questions from everywhere, but at the rate I'm going, I won't be able to read my notes...]

No prizes for guessing what i did today. That's right. Mugging. Went to school for consultation in the morning, did some math in the bus like a true muglander and went home to do more homework. It wasn't easy though, and I kept succumbing to the temptation of Stephen King's Everything's Eventual. It's eventual then, that I began reading it non-stop...

Youtube is damn cute. Look what I just got:
500 Internal Server Error
Sorry, something went wrong.

A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. In any case, please report this incident to customer service.
Lol?

Anyway, I'm video-hopping about youtube now, nothing much to do.
[MUST-WATCH VIDEO BELOW!]

You gotta love this. Kudos to the intrepid cameraman.

"We want to minimise the loss of curriculum time." Gee, you think?
I'd rather let the video speak for itself. Trust me, you'll love it. It just screams we are going to mug and mug and mug!!! (Note that no Muglanders cheer when the holiday is announced...rather, there is a solemn grave-like silence)

[UPDATE]
Damn this capitalist economy. I was looking around for videos of my seniors so I could put it all together as a montage in a short video, but it turns out my video format converter trial has ended, hence all my videos run halfway then stop. Which is useless. Hais.
*Random outburst*
Since i've temporarily stopped MU...

And I would like to lodge a complaint with the powers above that the amount of homework given is inversely proportional to the time available for study! You people should know that!!!!!!

Greetings people. Yet another day of this mundane life wasted away afking on MU, doing homework, and staring at the idiot box (TV, hahaha) Well, resetting on MU is 300mil now, so I sit there and watch as my monetary resources are depleted. I do this in the hope than when I'm near broke, I'll get so bored at the idea of collecting more cash, I'll stop MU, which will then allow more time for revision. (I'm on my last 400mil) Yay for mugging. I'm hoping that this refreshing change to my blogskin (yellow instead of black, grey and/or red) will brighten up life a little, since mugging is all there is to it.

Oh well, I also went for dinner outside, decided to have a Hershey's Sundae Pie as dessert. Yum. It's guilty pleasure and indulgence and near-sin rolled into one slice. So chocolately and rich. And the best part is the back. A solid wall of cake base, firm and sweet-tasting. Lol.

Then, went home cos my sis wanted to play Maple. =.=

OK, people spot the MAJOR difference!(Hints in red)

That's right! You have kids sitting on the ground watching TV, and you have adults sitting on the ground watching TV! Isn't that weird? In every other place i've seen, adults always stand up to watch the "free" TV show. So I have a coupla reasons:
The adults have finally decided to give up their inhibitions and throw what self-control they have to the wind and sit down.
There ae subliminal messages telling these adults to embrace the inner child.
Last reason...they......have decided not to behave like adults? o_O

Well. New skin. Not that anyone is gonna notice. It's been pretty quiet on the home front lately, only 1 more tag. Well, spent the day doing homework(again) so I decided to cut loose a little bit and do something I've been wanting to do for a very long time. And I designed a new skin. (The silhouette is me by the way. =P)

I've realized I've come to a gradual acceptance that my social life now, in a nutshell, well, basically, it's crap. I remember few months ago I could remember up to 8 movies I wanted to watch but had no time. Now, that list has been banished to a dark corner of my mind. The infernal demons of education(See, this is why its a MERIT GOOD![economics]) have encroached on my time and space, defiling parts of my life they come into contact with, stripping all the time away from me.

Now for me, the trailer IS the movie. I see something, "Oh wow! Nice movie...I wanna go watc...what the hell am I thinkin? Back to work." And I condemn myself to the thought I won't ever get the chance to catch that movie ever. I'm not sure what was my last movie. (FD3?) And neither am I sure if I will ever catch a movie before the end of the year. =.= I seriously can't remember what I last watched. OMG yeah! Xmen3...term2 bash...

Ok enough...back to work. Lalala...mugging is GOOOD!

t3h mugg0r is t3h ub3r l337 h4x0r tt pWnz0r j00 n00b!!!!!!11one1

Leftover pic from ytd I forgot to put up. =]

(And no, my hand is not on Priscilla's shoulder, note the difference in skin colour. =P)Wait a sec!!! Look at the pink girl in the background! Like zomfgwtfbbqzor! Lololololol! Hahahahahaha pWnz0r!

Well, was an unfruitful day today. Tried to study, but it was reduced to a low or basal level. (lac operon) Don't forget to italicise it in the exams! Hahaha. Attempted to do my homework, was lured online, listening to music and such. Then afked in MU. Reset again and levelled some more. =[ Think I need to spend all my money then I will stop. (It takes 200 million for a reset, and I got 4 times that in my pocket)

Went out for dinner and afked. Of ALL the times that I'm afk but doing my homework next to the computer listening for jewel drops, frickin' Norton had to do one of its gay auto-start-up-and-check-your-healthy-computer-when-you're-running-sth-important shit. It'm guessing it lagged the shit out of it cos I'm like in a map wih pros swooshing away at the monsters with their 1337 cool skils, and my raven is there pecking all the monsters to bits, and the monsters spawn like its doomsday and they have their own skills too. =.=

And it all happened while I couldn't do a single thing about it. =.= I'm guessing the programmers installed this bug to piss people off. Oh well, returned, studied more, sister mapling like nuts, I did more homework, came online...gonna try to do more work tomorrow. Shit. Bye.
