31/8/13 (Oh hey look a palindrome! (If you ignore the slashes))

So yesterday during astronomy some RI people came over. Talked to them, they were alright. Not very interesting though. Saw the Lagoon Nebula, M4, Venus, Centaurus and Saturn. Sky was a bit cloudy at times. Some people thought the ISS flew past, but apparently it wasn't the ISS. So before that there was PE and english and stuff. Nothing of interest happened then. Besides the fact that Sean has managed to get Mr. Yuen's face onto Nyan cat and the chinese currency. I would post a picture if I had it, but I don't so you'll probably have to wait until it goes onto the confessions page.
Pixel Kingdom is such a fun game. Whee I like the blockyness or the pixellyness of it.
Spelling bee is on Monday. Just looking through the dictionary for some last minute revision. Probably shouldn't be worrying about that. Spelling actually isn't that difficult if you read a lot of stuff. Representing my class. Would have gotten in last year but a classmate beat me to it. And ended up being unable to spell "coup". Seriously listen to the BBC people. You'll learn fast.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MASTERING PHYSICS?!

JUST WTF...

Because 1250 is TOTALLY a 2 significant figures number. Haha. (If you can see the image. If you can't, go buy some spectacles and come back when you're done.)

On a lighter note, we will get back our Da Vinci quiz tomorrow. I wonder what Mr. Yuen thought of 'Newton's 1st law'.

Ya.

Nothing of interest happened today. Interestingly Chong Wen has now started playing SCP containment breach. Which is a scary game with lots of scary things that will kill you. Most of the time. The rest of the time you just spend running around dark rooms and opening doors and running away from the things that want to kill you.
Year 1s and 2s had their house meetings today. Probably nothing interesting happened. Chemistry test on Thursday. Should start revising. Need to write a lot more when answering questions apparently.
So besides that I changed phones. My old phone isn't holding itself together anymore. Oh well. Been with me for around 4 years. Time to let it go I suppose. Although now all my songs are on my iPod nano only. And my new phone doesn't have 3G. Parents won't let me have that, so I can only use it at home and in school. Although messaging people is a lot easier.

So today we went to the Sisters Islands and saw some stuff. It was ok. My binoculars worked perfectly. I could see Pleiades and Orion. And a lot of other stuff. Also they showed us a lot of interesting stuff like snails and corals and anemones. We took some pictures. And walked around and got sand in our shoes which was really nasty and then we went and washed and ate some stuff. Apparently sea grapes taste salty. I didn't try them. Anyway yesterday we went to RI for the astronight thingymajig. Was alright. Talked to some people from outside NUS High. They seemed rather nice. Also had a look at Saturn, Venus and the Ring nebula.
After the marine biology field trip I went to Orchard and had a nice lunch and went looking for stuff in Kinokuniya. Quite nice. Unfortunately I want to buy the 50th Anniversary  Dr. Who books but I didn't have the money. I also wanted the Dalek handbook. It shows you how to ride them. Probably should have taken some free moon cake samples along the way but I forgot. Darn. I like the ones with lotus paste inside them. Preferably without the salted egg but I can deal with that.

22/8/13

Going to RI tomorrow for some astronomy stuff. Urgh have to wake up at 3 a.m. on Saturday and go to school. Should go to sleep now.

21/8/13

No Glen, you shall not narrate my life. Mostly because you'd be putting me out of a job. Also because I really don't want my life to be narrated by your voice. And also because you miss out a lot of the bits. And also because I really just don't like it, and if you try to do that one more time I might just pluck out our molars. And premolars. Hell why stop at that I'll take your canines and incisors too.
P.S. DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT WRITING A BIOGRAPHY ABOUT ME ASSHOLE.
Da Vinci today. Went rather fine, was released early. Had the awesomest ACE lesson ever. Want to decline sex? Here's how:

Step 1: I really don't want to do this OH GOD STOP IT YOU CRAZY PERSON STOP IT DAMMIT STOP AAHH AAHH AHH AH DO YOU EVEN HAVE A CONDOM IS THAT THING MADE IN CHINA DON'T PUT THAT INSIDE ME YOU TWAT!

Step 2: I really love you, but can we do this after we're married?

Step 3: No. Just no.

Laughed a lot.

20/8/13

So today is E-Learning day, while yesterday was a school holiday. Went to Javier's house to do the economics project. We're doing it on Nokia. His house has a nice glass office. Javier has some really unhappy fish. They always shake their head at him like he's doing something wrong, and they always get stuck in a corner of his fish tank. Which wasn't there the last time I visited. His dog wasn't there either when we visited yesterday. Got my binoculars yesterday. They're huge. They also supplied me with a Swiss Army Knife that really is made in China. I broke the reusable toothpick (ew) when I was bending it back into shape. I suppose the rest of it works, so I'll probably bring it around all the time. After going to Javier's house I had to go to another friend's house to do the chemistry project. That went really fast. Really fast like basically we just finished most of the filming in 40 minutes. Then I went back home and did some more homework. Whee that was for yesterday.

Doing physics E-Learning now. Finished the chemistry and english ones earlier. Actually I'm reading cracked.com OHMYGODWHATHAVETHEYDONETOTHEPAGELOOKATALLTHOSECUDDLYANIMALSSQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Besides that, still doing physics E-Learning.

17/8/13

Astronomy overnight was really nice. Technically most of it happened today. Managed to see Mars, Jupiter and the Pleiades, as well as a lot more stuff like Orion's really fuzzy uh... sword? There was supposed to be a meteor shower in Perseus but I didn't see anything Took some pictures. They aren't that good. We had McDonalds in the middle of the night. Tasty. Unfortunately due to this overnight my mental capabilities have been diminished to a large extent, and I just slept on the bus and skipped a bus stop. Damn. Really need to sleep more today. Maybe I should go to sleep now?

School holiday on Monday and there is E learning on Tuesday, which is rather nice.

17/8/13

So yesterday we had PE, which involved throwing javelins. I got a silver for NAPFA yay!

So right now I'm on the hostel rooftop. Seniors are in the bservatory doing astrophotography. We have some telescopes set up outside, and Cygnus and the summer triangle are visible. Currently I've drank a lot of coke, and Glen just ordered McDonalds. Night sky is pretty good, but there are clouds.

ROCKET PENGUINS AND THE DESTRUCTION OF POTATO LAND, SEA AND AIR!

"Are you sure about this? I mean, your head has not stopped saying "Vagina malfunction" for the past 6 hours." "Yes, I'm sure. Besides, it'll only take a few minutes. I'm sure it won't act up again."
 As we all know, Mavis has a vagina on her head. Don't ask me why. Just don't.
"Good morning people, we are gathered here today for the unveiling of Long Shen Corporation's new line of products! So without any further ado, let's introduce them!" M quickly got off the stage, while her head announced "VAGINA MALFUNCTION VAGINA MALFUNCTION PLEASE GET IT REPLACED NOW!" while several penguins waddled on. They looked really uncomfortable. And when I said "they" I meant M and the penguins. Ooh, we should make that a TV show!
You would too, given the circumstances.
"As we all know, we love penguins. Especially Wui Seng (who was at this moment pretty much spazzing out and saying things like "GOSH THEY'RE SO FLUFFY CAN I HUG THEM?"). They're extremely good swimmers, have streamlined bodies and  So, these penguins have been equipped with high efficiency mass propulsion units (otherwise known as "We shoved rockets up their arses just for the heck of it") to enable them to cover great distances with minimal effort. But what's the point of all this if all our penguins do is just shoot off everywhere? To make them several times more usefuller, we've also shoved several tonnes of explosives down them the other way, complete with matter compression technology that may or may not be 100% reliable. Rest assured, if there is a-VAGINA MALFUNCTION thank you very much M we will be collecting all the insurance. Because we own your insurance companies, remember?"
Please look up Long Shen rule number 6: Sex is paramount.
"But what is the whole point of this if you don't know if our penguins work? After all, if we sold you a penguin with a-VAGINA MALFUNCTION thank you again M you'd never hear the end of it. So we shall now test out new product on Potato Land, Sea and Air!"
Because what kind of country only owns the land anyway? It needs airspace and seaspace or whatever you call the damn thing.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Mr. Potato shouted (Hang on a minute he went flying out of the window last time, didn't he?). "CRASH!" Mr. Potato was sent flying out of the window again. "AND NOW WE SHALL LAUNCH THE PENGUINS! COWER IN FEAR AT OUR LATEST WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION-VAGINA MALFUNCTION! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ok just launch the damn things already."

A penguin gave a small squeak. And they all looked up as the roof of the building opened up, and suddenly the penguins were all sent flying upwards with rainbow trails streaming out of their behinds.
If Rainbow Dash was black and white and had flippers, I suppose that would be a good description for this moment.
"Now, if you would kindly switch to our satellite which is in orbit over Potato Land, Sea and Air, you will see the effects soon."

And suddenly a huge- VAGINA MALFUNCTION ok M you really need to shut that thing up anyway a really huge mushroom cloud appeared. And Potato Land, Sea and Air was no more. Everyone clapped. Except for Mr. Potato who had been thrown out of the window.

THE END. (For now at least. Or until I think of something else.)

14/8/13

I will never look at cauliflowers the same again. Mostly because of sexual education. Or genital herpes. Whatever.
Oh you want to have sex? Fine, but first, let me tell you all the things I never told anyone else.
Besides that, we had Da Vinci today. Not sure what topic I should do on (I'm inclined towards the "surprise me" option). Mr. Yuen is amazingly terrifically awesomely (insert a lot of adjectives here) funny. He released us early. Whee. Blitzars and the difference between a nova and a supernova.

So I was thinking maybe you could have this place that was completely white. But the terrain features would still be there, and you'd have a special pencil you could use to colour everything and find interesting stuff that would let you make even more awesome pencils and colour more things and stuff. And then there'd be eraser rain. Damn.

Chemistry quiz tomorrow. About intermolecular forces. I haven't done any proper revision but whatever. There is also biology makeup tomorrow since we're missing 2 hours next week due to Lim Jeck Day. But whatever. Economics tomorrow. It's actually rather boring. Should have taken geography. A bit too late for that, so I guess I'll just go through it and stuff.
Bees. I don't know why. But I was thinking about something. Oh yes. Yuendibuzz. Ring a bell? Or Charyuender, for that matter. We should give Mr. Yuen a surprise for teachers' day.
Javier wants to spank me nude. I think he might be suffering from something. I don't know what. I don't want to be given a nude spanking either. If your face has been distorted to a large extent, congratulations, you are probably not in our class. Sean keeps swearing. Chong Wen just goes on 9gag and looks around his twisty puzzles thingymajigs and stuff. Maybe it's time for another one of those "People in my class" editions? I only do those once per year, but I might expand it to encompass a larger group of people. DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT SUBSETS A**HOLE. I JUST SAW THAT THOUGHT GO THROUGH YOUR MIND. DON'T YOU DARE F***ING DENY IT.

Don't worry that's perfectly normal. Unfortunately since I've washed my jacket people can now smell me. Ew. Although it's not that bad. Have you watched Klaus the forklift driver? It's funny in a weird way. Mostly because Germans aren't funny at all.

13/8/13

Cold saunas. Yes, you read that right. Because if you've ever seen a phase diagram you know cold steam can exist.

 Unfortunately since the only way cold (I'm taking less than or equal to 0 degrees Celsius) steam can exist is at pressures below 10 millibars, you'd probably never get to see it. Mostly because your eyeballs would have forced their way out of their sockets, as would everything else in your body. And then proceeded to explode all over the place.

And as you all know, next Monday is a school holiday. At least for us in NUSH. Mostly because Lim Jeck won a lot of medals. Although I;'m not sure what they'll do next year, since he graduates at the end of this year. They'll probably find someone else. Hopefully they do.

Had a math test today. Was rather easy. Found some colour pencils. Jeff can't count. Biology quiz is not tomorrow, as I had somehow thought it was due to some weird stuff that goes on in my brain. Oh well. Da Vinci tomorrow and they want us to bring computers. Fine. And also, astronomy overnight on Friday. Staring at Zhi Xin will kill you. Staring at Mavis will make you laugh.
Staring at me will make you wonder why I'm so ugly.

Otherwise known as rummaging through my brain and putting everything I find here

So I suppose this is one of those weird somewhat special posts on my blog where basically you read this possibly long post in my voice (for those of you that know me personally). Anyway let's get started.

If a tree fell over in a forest and noone noticed it, did it fall over? Was there even a tree in the first place?
I guess it depends. I mean since I've already stated that there is a tree, it therefore exists. Despite the fact that everyone else doesn't know it's there, since I know it's there it does exist. Of course if you take me out of the picture you could say the tree never existed (until 1 day you came across it while hiking, then made your own conclusions, which would prove the existence of the tree and it falling over). Although in the real world most trees fall over because someone amputated the roots (mostly in an illegal operation), and it's rather rare that you get a tree falling over on its own (since trees do possess a certain amount of "intelligence" to not grow on loose soil, etc. But you can't really blame one for growing on the soil of an active volcano.)
Alternatively, just stop highlighting everything to look for statements like these.
So it appears that Sports Day is fast approaching (despite most, if not all of the events involving the fast and seamless alternation of opposing feet on the ground in the hopes of attaining a trophy). There was a practice session today. Since I don't really have much of an interest in these things I'm not participating. There are also chinese and math tests tomorrow. Which is rather annoying. Well, I guess my math is ok. Same can't be said for my chinese.  And in other news the Norwegian prime minister tried being a taxi driver. Which sounds rather fun. Mostly because you say a lot of stuff you don't tell others in taxis. And also because our principal should try that sometime. And somehow moving on to the subject of our one and only discipline master which is unfortunately unavailable and all the replacements are rather crappy, noone really knows what has happened.
Is that too long for you? Nevermind I can always write some more.
I'm a kitten. Hear me roar. Speaking of roaring Katy Perry has a new song. It sounds rather nice. And rather undepressing which is also rather nice. Or spiffing. Depends.  Besides that there is also the fact that our mentor came back today (I'm not sure for how long, but Sean wishes he'd never come). I don't know why. He was supposed to be on a senior teacher training course. School confessions page has been getting rather interesting. Besides the fact that people keep on threatening suicide. Which isn't nice. (Why do I keep using "nice"?)
I really have too much stuff in my mind.
So onto the subject of the Ace Combat series of games. Basically most people thought Assault Horizon sucked, probably because your planes healed automatically and also because dogfight mode made killing the enemy rather easy.
Unfortunately that's still not the end of this post.
So now that we're all eagerly waiting for the 23rd of November there are also some things that I forgot to mention earlier on. First of all is that basically every girl in our class is really high. And when I say high I mean really crazy and possibly suffering from withdrawal symptoms from whatever they've been taking. Which I suspect to be the company of each other. Speaking of company, a friend of mine told me that if you put a lot of women together their menstrual cycles will all synchronise. Also, we threw out Mr. Potato. He'd spent too long in his bath and he'd started to disassociate into the water. In other news, Chong Wen found an iPad. The only problem is right now it's hanging and showing a picture of a block of wood. And also, there is the slight problem of english tomorrow which will have us introducing our commercials to everyone else.

"Dear Mr. Selva, Ms. Bay, ladies and gentlemen and for those of you who haven't undergone puberty, boys and girls, and for those of you who don't belong to the above categories, please get back to your planet, today we are going to etc etc etc."

I suppose that's it for now. I hope.

So NDP just ended. Apparently they ended up shooting fireworks out of the Merlion. Would have been nicer if they'd added ytterbium lasers in the mix. And a lot of hydrogen balloons.

Went to Marks and Spencers today. Bought some snacks. Jaffa cakes are so nice. Haven't tried the sour cream and chives potato chips though, but I suppose they're great too.

7/8/13

So today we had the National Day parade, which was cut slightly short by the fact that it started to rain. Funny. Or maybe not. It rains all the time during this time of the year. After that, there was the carnival. I didn't really participate. I preferred watching my friends play computer games :P. Besides that, we also did the chinese project, which involved us taking the bus to Buona Vista then going back to Clementi before I went home. I hope it's fine. Some groups have already finished.

5/8/13

While we are at it here's our commercial

PETER CAPALDI IS THE NEW DOCTOR ASDFGHJKL.

 

His eyes are a nice shade of green. ASDFGHJKL he looks so damn sexy all the Doctors look sexy ASDFGHJKL. He looks much younger than 55 too.

Apparently he appeared in World War Z as the WHO Doctor (I see what you did there). So now I'm just waiting for the 50th anniversary and the Christmas special. School was alright. Tomorrow is technically the last day of school, because we have a celebration on Wednesday for national day.

4/8/13

I'm bored. This is most annoying.

3/8/13

So I was thinking today and I just had this really great idea for Orientation next year. Basically it's DW themed, and it will be fun.

1. Build the interior of the TARDIS somewhere in school.
2. Get 4 people to play Faraday, Nobel, Fleming and Fibonacci.
3. Find someone to play the Doctor. Preferably someone nuts.
4. Build the TARDIS exterior.
5. Make a script (I have a general idea)
6. Best Orientation ever. (At least until the sequel comes out)

2/8/13

They said they were going to teach us astrobiology today. Somehow that turned into a session where about 1/4 of the class was learning about astrobiology, and the other 1/4 was learning about other stuff that wasn't exactly astrobiology. Anyway it was rather boring. We really need a practical soon. Everyone's getting ready for the NDP celebration. However, it appears that I do not have any red shirts at home, and hence I shall just come in school uniform.
And now everyone is substituting "yuen" into every term they can find. I'm eagerly awaiting The Ayuengers, X-Yuen and Captain Ayuenica.
And besides that, everyone has complained about the physics online assignment, which everyone has found to be rather difficult. Getting late now. There's an economics field trip tomorrow. AND THEY WILL REVEAL THE 12th DOCTOR ON SUNDAY ONFG YES XD ASDFGHJKL.

1/8/13

It's the first day of August. The year went by quite fast. But to make myself feel better, WE'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE 50th ANNIVERSARY AND THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL :D. So besides that, I have been encountering slight difficulty with the physics online assignment. Such as the fact that I have no idea how to do some of the questions. But nevermind that, we're having an economics test tomorrow. And PE. WHY.
Jia Cheng said he's going to teach me how to fly his plane. I hope I don't kill someone.
I also borrowed a book on philosophical problems today. It's really quite interesting. Such as this one that asks, "Is snow white?" Hmmm. Depends on your type of snow. Don't eat the golden variety.
