But yeah. HIIIIII.

HAHA! YES! WE'RE COMING HOME! :) WY, you have 5 days in Penang. And you're in S'pore not on another continent! I'm just glad we're all coming home... perhaps for the last time in the next 4 years...? *Slinks back to the natural habitat of an SLC student: The library*

People = Darren + Priya (if you're counting this way)

What If...

2010-03-05T07:46:00.005+08:00

I've started watching Desperate Housewives again recently (don't judge me!!!) and I just finished an episode called 'If' where they all start to wonder about the decisions they'd made in their lives and what if... just what if... they had chosen differently.

And it got me thinking about that fork in the road where my friends and I once stood not too long ago. Some times I imagine myself back there; at the crossroads of my life, about to make a life changing decision trying to see as far down the roads as possible. I took the road towards Oxford, a little town of aging stone work, worn cobblestone streets and grandiose ceilings. And here I am now, sitting on my bench at midnight looking out the window at the drizzle falling gently over dreaming spires. And as I stare at the rain falling through the night, I can't help but wonder "What if..."

What if I'd gone to London... and instead of sitting in my dorm, I'm in a cab in the middle of the city. And when I look out the window, it isn't quiet and sleepy but bustling with nightlife and neon lights and noise. Girls will be running around in skirts and heels and leggings but wrapped up in winter coars because its just that kind of weather. And there could be a hurricane outside but these Brits will queue up for entry no matter what. I'd be squished up with WY, Varoot and Jasamine after catching some musical/ movie, heading to one of many London nightclubs to dance the night away with copious amounts of cider.

What if I'd gone to Melbourne U where right now its 11.00 a.m. and I could be staring listlessly out a lecture theatre window at people dressed in jeans and t-shirts, enjoying the sunshine. And I'm in here tapping my pen listening to the lecturer drone on in an Australian drawl waiting desperately for my elective class to end so I can go meet up with SY or Sarah or Kylie or Cait or maybe all of them for lunch. And we'd chat up a storm about our week, friends in other places and everything under the sun... over much craved for Asian food. We'd go shopping and attempt to curb Sarah's shopaholic tendencies and calm SY's horror at the exchange rate.

Or what if I'd gone to America... Sarah Lawrence, Princeton, Smith... and its 8.00 p.m. and I'm looking out a dorm room window at the snow falling down (because for some reason in that strange country they're still getting snow days when here its all but melted into spring.) And I'm inside wondering what kind of snowman to make later, cooking up some random shizz with Prudy and Alli, drinking hot chocolate (extra chocolate bars please) with Sara or fighting over marshmallows and watching random Youtube videos with KS. And I'd tell them about my day when I almost got run over because cars drive on the wrong side of the road over there. And no matter which of them I'm with they'd all still laugh and shake their heads and say "Oh Jas..."

Or what if I hadn't gone anywhere at all but just decided to stay in Penang and go to USM just 5 minutes down the road. Right now it'd be 8.00 a.m. and I'd be waking up in my own bed, pulling the curtains away from the sliding glass doors. I'd go downstairs for breakfast and then get into my little black car to drive the 5 minutes to campus because that's how we roll. And when class is over, I'd get lunch at that little cafe I've been going too for over 15 years, meet up with Darren and hand him some ban chiang kuih, pick my brother up from school where all the teachers will ask how I'm doing and random people will hug me. Then I'll drive down Batu Ferringhi road in the sunshine listening to Taylor Swift and my brother snoring in the back...

And all those hundreds of images that fill my head - dancing the night away in a London nightclub, laughing over badly shaped sushi (so I've been told) in an Australian Japanese restaurant, sticking one of my friend's shirts on an American snowman, cursing at rude Penang drivers... all of that just whirls and swirls and condenses abruptly into one me. The me who is sitting here, in front of this window living this life in this place. See in life... no matter how many choices we face... in the end we can only choose one and we can only choose once. We can sit and dream but in the end it all boils down to the here and now.

I could tell you not to wonder about what you can't have. But what's the point? We all wonder... all of us... every day... don't we? Don't we all wonder about how our lives could've gone "if only"? Its not a dissatisfaction with the lives we lead now, its just curiosity. Humans are a curious, contemplative bunch and we like to wonder about our choices. And I like it that way. I like wondering.

And all those hundreds of images I have swirling in my head on days when I should really be finishing my tutorial work... those are only possible because of the stories my friends tell me. I can't live out all those different lives myself but through my friends... I get a little glimpse of another life. They are the links to lives I could've led and through them I see the world.

Don't be strangers guys =)

P.S. Sorry if this was a little long... it started really short. HONEST! But then I started wondering and wondering and well... I may have got just a little carried away. Sorry if its a little inaccurate. Like I know Prudy doesn't actually have a kitchen but we'll just pretend if I'm with her I'll have one. Its called creative liberties people!!

So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight

NEWS ALERTS!!

2009-11-10T10:23:00.003+08:00

News Alert #1 (Relevant to candy lovers)
from The Wall Street Journal

Kraft Foods launched a hostile bid for the U.K.'s Cadbury PLC valuing the company at 9.8 billion pounds($16.28 billion), setting in motion a tussle for control of the British confectioner.

By making its offer official, Kraft is appealing directly to Cadbury shareholders to accept a merger proposal that Cadbury's executives and directors have steadfastly rejected. Kraft, facing lackluster sales and upward pressure on its raw-material costs, wants to absorb Cadbury to boost its exposure to developing markets and growth prospects.

News Alert #2 (perhaps not so relevant)

from The Wall Street Journal

In a tight vote, the House passed its sweeping health bill late Saturday, marking the biggest victory yet for Democrats in their drive to create near-universal health insurance.

The bill passed by a 220-215 margin. It came after House leaders made a surprise last-minute concession that blocks abortion from the new government insurance plan in order to win over wavering Democrats.

Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait.

2009-10-03T20:47:00.003+08:00

This is quite a belated post, but I guess nobody'd notice since nobody checks this blog anyway :P

SARA and JM, HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT TIME AT UNI IN THE U.S. OF A. :D

And to be more up-to-date, BYEBYE Wei Yun! Have a safe flight and have fun at uni.

Please collect your ticket at the Departure gate.

2009-08-21T18:29:00.006+08:00

BYE SARA!!!!!!!!

I think Panit will miss your poking. And someone to poke.

Everybody!
Don't forget to post random things.. of random things....! Let's keep the world interesting with the crazy things all of us will be up to, shall we?

So for those of you who are leaving, or staying, from wherever you are, do post something interesting.. or wacky.. or in Panit's case, mildly disturbing. Wasn't this why we set up the blog? To catalog how fantastically random we sometimes are?

So everybody, do remind us where you're going!

Darren takkan pi mana-mana, so don't worry! :D

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

2009-08-05T21:14:00.007+08:00

The Santa hat.

Before discovering that this method is most effective:

Ta-DAH! :D

Bored

2009-06-22T08:52:00.004+08:00

I am bored

Don't you think we should change the template? It's so boring.

HAHAHAHA. I tried, but had to clear all the edits. Alot of colours looked quite strange with our mix of font colours. Wanna try?

How about something with a black blog skin? Or if someone can draw us something... Hmm... Or make us a blog layout? Anyone?

2009-06-21T17:42:00.008+08:00

Might I suggest that everyone change their wishlist? Because quite a number of us editted it during times of severe stress, and hence it is less than complete. Thanks!

Also.......

For updates on Perhentian, please visit Jasryn's blog, http://www.jasryn.blogspot.com/ for more information. :) Anyone is welcome to make a post on it, but as stated before, I shall leave it to less... boring people. Heh. Enjoy.

HELLLO! Wishlist changed Prudence. :] It's a bit... happier now? Haha. Of course whoever said that the stress was off? I mean, we now have stress from other sources. Ohohoho.

I know! Happier wasn't quite the word.. Hahhaa. But yours had swearing. LOL. Not family friendly. Tsk tsk. Hehe

HAH I almost forgot the password :P and JM you didn't change yor wish list what is this?? Maybe its time we revived what has become a disamal and unexciting blog...we need pictures haha oh and WY new competitions too

I just did. Heh.

Tea for Three

2009-06-19T22:51:00.001+08:00

So, while the rest of The Crew were off at Perhentians and Priya was supposed to be studying for ISAT, Sara, Sarah and I decided that we'd meet for tea last Wednesday. Originally we were thinking E & O but decided against it since we aren't rich enough, Sarah needed to be in Gurney, I couldn't spend too much time there since I was busy, and because of their usage of tea bags.

Which, according to some posh British blogger who Sara pointed out to us, is apparently a henious crime that will result in the end of the world.

I was only kidding about the end of the world bit.

Anyway! We came to a consensus about where we were going to go to eat afternoon tea. While Sarah hunted around Gurney Plaza for rocket (the vegetable not the spaceship missile kind) around 2:30, the lovely Sara came and picked me up and took me to..

It was warm and cozy :] Like the bolster I forgot to bring to Singapore.

So anyway the three of us sat down and Sara wanted to order potato bake and I was thinking, well, how in the world is she going to eat the potato bake if we're already having such a big afternoon tea after lunch? So I managed to convince her not to. Instead, we ordered Darjeeling black tea and a drink called Midnight Kiss because I liked the name and I thought it would help me be ninja since I wasn't supposed to be on the ground floor at 3 in the afternoon.

I liked it because it came in a small cute cup.

Because no outing is complete without a funny Sara Loh picture. Sara is licking Midnight Kiss.

Sarah, being Sarah, ordered a fruit salad and an Americano. I then asked her to flap her arms, and she obliged-

Her fruit salad came and it really wasn't very good, so Sarah proceeded to eat her own apples and pears like she usually does. It's amazing how she manages to eat so many fruit and not turn green or red. If she turned green she would be an alien, and I would be happy because then there would be an explanation for her extraordinary behaviours such as running and studying: not at the same time. So would Sara because Sarah would be green.

If she ate more oranges she would turn orange. I think I'm the only person that wants that for the moment. But never mind, I shall spread propaganda. Meanwhile Sara was staring at photos of her cheese baked potato thingy and kept saying she wanted it, and I was like... yeah you're never going to be able to finish it.

Then the cakes and stuff arrived in a pretty pretty bowl... plate... tier... small building.... thing.

Shut up, I know my vocabulary has gone downhill.

Anyway despite the overall prettiness, the food was okay-ish. I kind of liked the cakes but didn't want to finish them all because I was full and didn't want to force myself, and Sara refused to eat sponge cake. Sarah of course was munching on her 99th pear of the day, or drinking her Americano coffee with extra shots and less water. Who drinks coffee in a tea house?

Only Sarah Ch'ng. For she is just that epic awesome. Oh, meanwhile Sara started talking about ordering her potato bake and I was thinking, well she can order it, I'll try a bit but I don't think that she's going to be able to finish, after all we had lunch already and I'm pretty stuffed. After about a million years this arrived in all its potato-ey and cheesy glory.

Yes the potato bake. Fear it. It's actually pretty good though I was too stuffed to appreciate it fully. Sara meanwhile was devouring it and I was thinking, oh, she won't be this hungry in a short while, we'll probably have to pack it and take it back to her home. She can have it for breakfast and- HOLYSHITDIDSHEJUSTFINISHIT?!

Sara as always looked totally innocent as she nommed the last bits of her food down then toyed with her milk that was actual milk and not creamer. Maybe she works magic on us but I have no idea how she always looks like that. Then Sarah decided to buy two RM 30 teacups and two RM 30 saucers- well actually they cost RM 15 each but the extra money was paying for the satisfaction of her mother's heart. At least that's what I kept reiterating as she decided to buy this:

There was another one but frankly the other one had freaking chickens on it (maybe those chickens ended up in Sara's potato bake and got devoured) and was a tad dark. And besides this one had an orangey hue to it and was pretty. Seriously, guys. How can you resist anything that has an orangey hue to it and is pretty?

Oh, and Priya, once you finish ISAT you can say I Sat for ISAT :D

Hehehe. Evil grin.

2009-06-19T20:31:00.004+08:00

As Jas very nicely put it, we have now returned from Perhentian. A little island off the East coast of Malaysia. I have not seen newspapers for 5 days. Or the Internet. But I shall leave the trip summary to others. My task here is to post a list of quotes I had written down while we were there. Funny quotes. Mostly convoluted. Mostly by Jas. I'll leave you guys to interpret these quotes for yourselves. So here goes:

1. Darren (to Panit): I want to boink that.

2. Jas (points at Choki Choki): Prudy, suck this!

3. Jas (to Kai Sheng in the bathroom): FASTER! FASTER!
KS: I like to take my time.
Jas: I'm getting bored.

4. JM: KS, why are you bouncing on the bed?
Darren: That's my bed! (o.O)

5. Panit (during a game of Bluff aka BULLSHIT): I bullshit!
Darren: No, its BULLSHAT.
Panit: Bullshit-ed

6. JAS: Cho Dai Di, why... why...? (Darren is bouncing on the bed) Darren why is your leg rubbing against me?

7. Jas (to KS): Keep going! It feels good!

8.KS (gestures to Phanu's silk pants): I wanna touch!

9. Jas: Darren, all of us have done it on your bed.

10. Kylie: Panit, stop feeling Alli up! (Sorry Alli, they named a yellow turtle after you)

11. Jas: Just use your hands already, KS.

12. Jas: Panit, help find my hole! Where's my hole!?

13. JM: Jas, let's do it! (Washing the bathroom)

On the topic of sex:
14. Jas: In the olden days, if you don't bleed, you're not a virgin! SO YOU BETTER BLEED!

15. Jas (to KS): OMG, why are you fingering my orchid!?

16. Jas: If the guys are anything like the ones we know, it would be them guiding us.

17. KS: Would you like a map?! A GPS?!

18. Jas: What if both of you can't find it?
Panit: Then you're both screwed.
Jas: Then we're both NOT screwed!

19. Jas: That was a great ride. But my ass still hurts. (after a boat ride)

20. Jas: Panit, do me! Do me!

On what people do to ease their fear of a boat capsizing in rough seas:
21. Darren: Focused on the hole.
JM: What hole?!
Jas: KS's hole!

22. KS: You saw my underwear!?

23. Kylie: Desperate times call for desperate measures!

24. KS: Its been long known that my underwear has amazing healing powers.

25. SY: Well, when we couldn't we just kicked your shirt up!

On violence:
26. Jas (while hitting KS): WHY ARE YOU SO VIOLENT?!

Okayyy! Exams are almost done, (some a little too soon *cough Su cough* :P) and so what are you guys planning to do after this? I know we've already made a list thingie but that's all jumbled up and it's all the way down the blog D: haha so maybe list out some things that everyone can do or go to, that'll be fun :)

PENANG HILLLLLLLL. Skating. Apparently Rasa Sayang has a mini-golfing thing, we can try that too. Hanging out. Sleepovers. Eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping. LAZING AROUND.

EATING. At STRADA people!!! Or was it just the girls? *cough* HAHHAH.HIKING. HIKING. HIKING. CAMPING! FOOD HOPPING. PANTAI KERACHUT (Darren's suggestion), MOVIE MARATHON. EXERCISE. Darren and WY previously suggested a potato party. I'm thinking of having a day where everyone comes over to my place for a meal! :) I wanna start cooking again.

Strada? But the food there is only so-so, and its almost empty all the time D: you serious about hiking? WHO'S GAME FOR HIKINGG? I think it's only me, you, and perhaps Priya. Rasa Sayang, Priya?! hahaha going there just for mini-golf ._. potato party has been scrapped I think for WY's Penang Hill thing. You guys still can bring various types of potato dishes if you desire.
Sara suggested Pantai Kerachut *stabs Darren then smiles the sweet smile which well, lets me escape everything [: I want to make Apple Crumble! What/where/whatever is STRADA? Har?? Sara wants to go Sunset one nighttt.

STRADA is a restaurant on Burma Road. Darren: Its nice that its empty! And yes, I'm serious about hiking! And Sara's Pantai Kerachut idea! HAHAHAHA. APPLE CRUMBLE!!! HOW ABOUT APPLE PIE! Yes, SUNSET!

Su Yin would like to go to the beach! So Sara's pantai would be good :) Plus you need to hike there right? And visit St Nicks again!

TELL MEEE, DID THE WIND SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEEET?

-shot- OMFG I AM ALMOST FREEEEEEE

Hahaha. Errr, count me out of hiking. But I suggest skating! And mini-golf might be fun, even though I don't think I'd be very good at it. And we also have to get the guys to skate. Darren going crash crash BOOM BOOM SQUISH!

Eh Saraloh got suggest meh? D: :O :] oh wells its only a 1-2 hour hike I think, if I remember correctly, and as I mentioned early early earlier in one of 'em posts, there's a coke machine there too for addicts, I mean, people like Su 0:) haha and there's also a platform-ish thingie (Is it called a pier?) that extends out to sea, and WHO KNOWS WHEN IT IS JELLYFISH SEASON? :o cos I don't. Hiking? to the top of Penang Hill? That'll take about 3 hours, 4 if we make many stops. Going up from Moon Gate is suggested, more flora and the faunaaa :P

HIKING HIKING HIKING :)))) and i ticked off skating on my list...i can skate okkk haha not that hopeless...but now since i am addicted i shall go train up and race with jm, su and jas HMPH u ppl whizzing by me and making me fall over O:) ooohh mini golf sounds nice since you don't need to worry about falling on your ass..i thought we made like a whole list last time?? hmm road trip..how about clubbing for the bit more adventurous?? PICNIC on the beach..ladies evening playing POOOOOLLLLL yes tht includes u sara...i suppose darren ur counted as one of us :)

HAHAHAHA. OKAY PRIYA! Hehe. Darren, it only takes 1.5 hours to get up Penang Hill by the road. I made it while unfit and carrying a rubbish bag. Priya, yes we made the list, but we have a habit of repeating stuff. :) Anyways, clubbing sounds... interesting? Hehe. BEACH! SUNSET BISTRO! NEXT WEEEKK?? Picnic on the beach... hmm... YES! But I still remember the sand from your party, Priya. hehe.

Penang hill?? I thought we weren't hiking up since it was too hot?? and JM i thought i said for the more adventurous?? O:)))) aww prudy gone bad hahaha lets go KL next week!! and go shopping in 1U..what sand JM?? :P

HAHAHAHA. Next week? KL? That might be a bit last-minute and my mom won't let us drive down D: But oh well, KL trip might be fun. Why don't we all go in August or something when Jas and I are going to get our visas? If I meet my offer anyway. I say clubbing might be fun actually :]

Sand from the beach, Priya. In the food. Hehehe. Visa's in August? VISA's IN JULY LA. At least for people like me, who START in AUGUST! Whoopee! KL. LOL. We could take the train there.... But yeah, a bit last minute. Heh. FOOD ppl, FOOD. SUNSET NEXT WEEK! AYE?

IB Exams

2009-05-15T20:32:00.003+08:00

Su Yin finishes on Tuesday. And then she would very much like to go somewhere. Can? Can? Like right after?

Convoluted Absolutes (Yes, it is a song) - Darren :D

2009-04-30T18:54:00.009+08:00

-Ms. Lai Su Yin

Guys, you saw it here first. :]

She admitted it! About time!

OI! you edited it!

OI! You admitted it!

What was it in the first place?

She was always convoluted anyway. There was no "first place". Once convoluted, always convoluted.

Umm. I meant what did the picture say in the first place? Before someone blanked out a word.

Dude! Its just two posts down.

Classic example of IB Historian humour

2009-04-29T23:19:00.005+08:00

With an attached message that said, 'I hope this made you smile.'

GO WEI YUN. I think everyone would be glad if they lost the papers. HAHAHAHAHA. Nice one.

I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL :(

Or as Mr. Klar would put it, idealism versus realism. I'm glad you liked it Prudy :] I think at times like this, we all need a laugh. No?

2009-04-28T18:53:00.009+08:00

Gumgum. Lala. Orangee. Woman. Runner. Goonyy. Hotstuff. Panpan. XDDDD

Dum dum give me (here got 'MY' one lahh) Gum Gum! - Night at the Museum

HAHHAHA. LOL. i Have to find it first. Now I'm Gumgum?!

Weren't you ALWAYS the gumgum? :P Why Saraloh be listing out everyone's nicknames? O.o

And I thought I was Hotstuff till I saw a 'Goony' before it. Dayummm

Im sorry but that would be ME darren O:)

I am not a lala! I'd rather be innocent. Or convoluted. Lala is so not original.

Dare I say... This blog is alive again? (But with my kind of luck it'll die again after I say this)

Study Break

2009-04-25T17:06:00.006+08:00

Su Yin now has cramps on both arms on top of on her legs (which were from running). And this is because of the Wii. I BEAT JM IN BOXING!!!! YEAH!!! Take that Taekwondo expert. Hah!

And this was after... the SGGS food fair. Which had jelly bubble tea!

hahaha JM beat me at boxing :( good workout, that. :P though my arms STILL aren't sore after playing tennis, boxing, baseball, etc. on the WIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WHEEEE :D and I got to play with an awesome electric guitar! :) WY videotaped me too.

HEY! Ish. I shall beat you next time. HHAHAHAHA. You're not gonna lemme forget that, are you? Hmph. Lol. Darren, you looked like you were poking the screen. OOo.. guitar hero.. Hehe. fun. But requires utmost concentration. LOL.

The Old Crew

2009-04-24T16:43:00.005+08:00

So I forgot the address for this blog. And I typed in "thecrew" and I found this!

Its been here since 2001. The last post was in 2004. And the second last post was in 2002. This blog is dead. Sad thing is. So might this.

But anyway. Last day of school! Su Yin shall miss Uplands.

HOW HARD TO REMEMBER IS "THECREWUPLANDS" LOLOLOLOL

Wei Yun thinks she shall miss Uplands too. She shall not miss the IB- but she believes she will definitely miss the people. And even if this blog dies, we still have the memories to carry us through. We still have the memories to make us smile.

Message said I'm running out of time.

2009-04-16T10:32:00.002+08:00

My sentiments exactly.

So everyone, how's revision (or in my case, lack of it) going? :)

Bear with me, just trying to start a topic in desperation for human contact instead of languishing in the tiers of Math HL Option 3 and Mr Neild's notes, all sebelum I terjerumus ke lembah hinaaaaaa. OMG

X's on the back of your hands.

2009-03-21T22:46:00.008+08:00

I'm so friggin bored. Die blog, die

Hello I took the liberty of changing the blog name. If anyone wants you can always change it back. Yay.

Darren is being mean. Live blog live. Hah!

Scream, blog, SCREAM!!!! Sara is being pathetic. Since I have noplace else to blog, I shall spamSPAMSPAM! RAWRRRRRRRRR. I am pathetic.

]:

This blog needs some orange! ORANGE BLOG ORANGE!

No no Sara is not pathetic :D Your Mahjesteeeeeee ah. *bows*

Darren, did you ever find the little green men by the way? With your Man U jersey that they stole?

now we need a little gold :)
um i think there s no point in reviving this blog cause it rly quite dead

I have a Kylie-style knock-knock joke.

Knock-knock.

KNOCK-KNOCK.

KNOCK-KNOCK!!

-repeat x 83742940-

IS ANYBODY THEREEEE?

-is shot dead-

Die, blog post, dieeeee. Wei Yun killed it? har har *pats blog post* Awwh.

"THE LIST"

2009-02-23T19:46:00.008+08:00

Following is a list of things we should all try and do after our IB exams are over. Feel free to add whatever you want :)

- ROAD TRIPPPPPP
- concert
- picnic
- more pool (especially since jas enjoys it now :P)
- food hopping around penang

Weren't you suppose to add "climbing up Penang Hill?' Anyway
- Climbing up Penang Hill. Or whatever other hill in Penang. (Darren and Priya would enjoy it. For the others, let's say I'd hide in a hole)
- Canoeing, Kayaking
- Shopping (Though we would already do alot of that.)
- WATCH MOVIES
- GO TO PERAK AND EAT CHAI KUIH. HAHAHAHA! Or Ipoh chicken rice.
- Langkawi

I like lists. THEY ARE FUN. And there's nothing wrong with making lists!!

WeiYun's birthday party! The IB exams finish May 22nd. Guess what happens May 23rd! Darren and I were proposing a potato party. Like, we all make a potato dish and bring it over to my house. Mm?
- Another trip. To Langkawi! Or to Genting!
- Hanging out. ~~Letting WeiYun drive~~

POTATO PARTY!!!!!!!!!! and yeah I'd love to go hill-climbing, anyone care to join me? Priya! I'd also enjoy kayaking/canoeing very much, haven't done that in ages, practically since 2005 O.o wind surfing too! Yaaaaaaaaay I'd like to go to Pantai Kerachut as well maybe we could like camp there (no worries, they have a Coca Cola vending machine. Su would feel right at home) but it depends whether its jellyfish season or not. And umm... picnic on top of Penang Hill? They have scones at David Brown's right up there but it'll cost us. :S MOVIE MARATHONNNNNN I is waiting for Transformers II and Watchmen. :) lets all go exercise.

Yay! How would I ever be able to stay awake without my coca cola? I wanna go to the beach! So Langkawi would be good.

2009-02-14T22:26:00.002+08:00

Happy Valentines' Day people.

If you want something PG-13 for those of you that are single, that have ever suffered from unrequited love, or that just want to look at my bad writing skills and laugh at me- just send me a message over MSN. Though most of you have seen it.

Oh fine, this is more of a shameless plug for than anything else. But guys, is it really going to be that hard to return to the good old days yonder of randomness?

Romance sucks, guys. Let's all remain celibate nuns/monks.

*clinks glass*

How was your Valentine's Day? Mine was spent driving and not killing anyone, mastering the 3 point turn and the hill, then coming home, talking to XX over Skype then after that doing Chemistry homework.

Love (oh the irony)
Wei Yun

2009-02-05T22:00:00.010+08:00

Die, blog, die.

*stabs blog repeatedly and hops up, down and around (a la Gilbert in Chiang Mai) in glee as green blood splatters covering me from head to toe in GREEN*

Blood is purple. You're in some Roald Dahl fantasy where you have stuff like green eggs and ham. I swear the man was colour blind.

*stab*

Green lah. It's alien blood. Like in the movies. Oooh, epiphany! Kryptonite is green in Smallville! -.- I have no life. Sigh. Criticize Roald Dahl, make gummy hap-hap-happy. And Goony, I like potatoes. I just figured, I'd give this dying blog my bloody 2 sen. Or 1 sen. Or sepuluh sen. Who bloody cares how many sen I have, kan.

La-di-da.

*stab*

Aliens can be purple too. I hate Roald Dahl. The BFG was the stupidest most retarded book ever with lousy grammar and bad English. I thought that way when I was 10 years old and his stories didn't make sense. Maybe I'm the prude. 1 sen tak dak value dah. People don't even pick it up if they find it on the street. What's the point of something which has no value? Dunno. I'd pick it up. I feel sorry for things that are tossed aside. Is it me or are we getting morbid?

*stab*

I like potatoes too :) I CAREEEEEEEEEEE 1 sen can... uh..... be accumulated in order to buy a..... teh tarik? Yeahhhh.

I do realise that whenever I post on this blog, nobody ever responds. Lets see if this trend continues.

Darren wanting attention, or simply wanting love?

Thing is, I feel as though our IB workload has made it so that none of us can really be bothered to post here and be happy any more. We emo on our own blogs. We come here and be happy.

I did want to post in the potato post but I don't have the time.

Sigh.

I think I'll go crawl back into the corner of my ToK essay now.

So I could watch all my heroes sell a car on tv.

2009-02-05T17:48:00.003+08:00

HMMMMM efforts to revive this flagging blog do not seem to be working. :/

Okay, I shall take the initiative, and conduct a riveting conversation (hoping that the rest will join in) all starting with this simple question:

"Which do you prefer? Potatoes, or tomatoes?"

The answer could refer to eating, throwing, cooking, or in WY's case, as a birthday gift. Any occassion which requires the rpesence of the wonderful tomato or potato. Enjoy.

*Am hoping someone random like Wei Yun will write a whole load of stuff, which can then be turned into a slightly more real discussion. :P*

Cos everything you do, makes you look like a fool.

2009-02-03T21:33:00.002+08:00

HARLOW. This blog is not stale!

I'd blog more, but pretty blank at the moment.

Heh. <:) 'horny emoticon' go figure.

2009-01-27T12:20:00.001+08:00

The Crew Deathmatch: ROUND TWO

2009-01-23T18:47:00.002+08:00

Wei Yun vs. Sara- Evil Laughing

"Both these young misses have evil in them. Wei Yun's got the crazy random evil. Look at that glint in her eyes as she steps up to the plate. Those 938420402380234 cartons of sugar that she consumed. That poise. Determination. That-"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (repeat x 8970234789414387021 until Wei Yun has to be carted away)

*Sara comes and laughs evilly too, but she's won by default*

Sara: Don't underestimate Mother Sara!

Jasryn vs. Darren- Painting fences orange and pink

"Jasryn is doing unprecedentedly well, using her skills at tripping around and falling over to, well, trip around and fall over all around, only she's tripping and falling in the right places so the brush is brushing against the fences. Such skill, such mastery, such bimbotic clumsiness.

But Darren's giving her a run for her money. He's got a spray can (sponsored by a strip club that shall remain unnamed) and he's NOT AFRAID TO USE IT! He's filled up one fence. Two fences. Jasryn has tripped over three, will Darren prevail? Will the power of the RED DEVIL STRIP CLUB BE WITH HIM?

Jasryn's slowing down! We knew she couldn't keep tripping forever, could she? Now she's gone to take a water break. No, Jasryn, pace, PACE! Darren's catching up, he's going to win if you aren't careful- OMFG JASRYN WHAT ARE YOU DOING-"

*Jasryn falls over the can of paint, which flies into the sky, manages to upturn over Darren's head, then over all the fences. Jas WINS*

"Well, that's what you get for being a Goon."

And I can be so insincere.

2009-01-23T16:34:00.003+08:00

I just felt like saying 'hi'.

So...... HI!

That's all.

*font coulnd't get any bigger for the announcement*

But why should I be put through hell?

2009-01-13T17:29:00.009+08:00

HEYYYY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOCKS REPORT THINGIE?

Oh well, not that I'm complaining. Wait, I am. :)

I have one more paper!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY :D and thats on Thursdayyyyyy.

G'luck to everyone else who has papers tomorrow. If it makes you feel any better, Umm.... I don't really know what to say. Ah, if it makes you feel any better, I screwed up some of my business todayyyy and possibly won't be getting 15 marks! Yay...... ay.

Answer: WEI YUN GOT LAZY AFTER OPENING HER OWN BLOG UP TO PUBLIC. LOL.

Answer: Since nobody wrote. Jas didn't either. Please look at her own blog for updates. (Is it me or has this blog become grounds for shameless promotion of our own personal blogs?)

hallo people!!! its been a long time since i've written anything...but yes unfortunately darren we are all too busy to be blogging....two more days and then there will probably be mass blogging by everyone :)

and i wonder who added jellyfish to my wish list HMMMM now thats a hard question...wei yun..any ideas who?? :P

Hahaha though I haven't been promoting my blog through this blog. Actually, I've been promoting this blog through my blog. :P but oh well everyone can promote their blog through this blog yayyyy but we should like charge commision for advertising. :D

WEIYUN!!!!!!! Priya, can we team up and kick her? hahahhaha! Its a dead give-away since she didn't edit her own. -_-

She didnt edit mine and Sarah's too. Till I pointed it out. I shall join the Priya-JM team too!

Why not remove all the *cough* WY added ones and write new ones after mocks. Which will be over in a day. *drumroll*

Mocks Day 3:

2009-01-08T16:28:00.004+08:00

Wei Yun would like to comment that it is SAD, just SAD, that she writes reports like this and even sadder that she is doing this instead of studying.

Woke up, went to school, all that jazz EXCEPT this time I wore orange socks and an orange shoelace as a belt because I was too lazy to open my closet to get one. Apparently the neon-ness of the shoelace distracted Varoot as he did his Chinese exam:Also, instead of studying my ass off for the paper I slacked off for Mandarin and crammed for History instead.

Mandarin A2 SL Paper 1: Pretty good actually, considering I didn't do much revision but hey I guess the practice I've been doing in class is paying off, and combining Ms. Ong's notes with Mr. Bao's theories on literature works.

Went to library, Lisa tied the shoelace into a bow and asked me to cover it with my black cami because it was too neon (the shoelace, not the cami) and then I had the next paper- Mandarin Paper 2!

Mandarin A2 SL Paper 2: Okay. Nothing else to say except okay.

Commence running around like a headless donkey when exam is over because I have history. Ate lunch in canteen which was actually good, then did no revision but ran around with the book hoping I would absorb the knowledge from within. Talked to I Yune, Michelle, Michele, Hui Ern, Amy. Told Michele that the exam was at 130 BUT KYLIE TOLD ME IT WAS 1 LATER SO I RAN LIKE A HEADLESS DONKEYFART TO THE EXAM HALL LUCKILY MICHELE WAS THERE ALREADY I'M SORRYYYY-

Make bets with JM and Pin to treat them to food if I get a 7.

History Paper 3: Better than I thought it would be... I answered all 3 questions on Russia at different times though. Tsars Alexander II and III, Russian Revolution, then Gorbachev.

Get chased home by little sister. Almost halfway there...

Hey, not as sad as Jas who does it twice. Once on her personal blog and once here. *shrug* Although she copies and pastes most of it. Maybe I shall just link everyone to my post on Mocks. There you go people. Today was languages day! I hate foreign languages -_-" I'm taking beginners Mandarin btw. Bah.

>Jas is noting lack of participation<

Mocks Day 2:

2009-01-07T19:58:00.008+08:00

Wei Yun did not wear as much orange as she could have which was probably the reason why ( ). She tells Mr. N it is all his fault they are suffering, who responds that he expected her to ask how his holiday was. Walks into the hall, sees Mr. W who tells her some good news that makes her yhey.

Chem Paper 1: Okay I suppose, could have been better

Is told by Priya that she wore so much orange on Day 1 that she knocked her socks off. Wei Yun responds that she was going to wear orange socks that day as well but decided not to because she was afraid they would show as she was wearing a skirt that was not knee-length unlike what Hui Ern claims it had to be. Went out for wan tan mee with Amy and Prudie. Complained about Chem. Came back and...

Chem Paper 2: DIE LIAO LAH. I couldn't answer the first question. The worst part is I wasted all my time studying for THIS paper instead of the other papers and everything I studied for decided not to come out, wtf, wtf, wtf. I SPENT MY WHOLE HOLIDAY DOING CHEM *and playing Fire Emblem* and this happens?! ;faa;das;f;adsf;s;;;

When exams are over, Wei Yun and Pilip complain that the structured questions were so hard the essay questions looked easy in comparison. W.T.F.

Chemistry Paper 1: OMG. Brain dead.

Chemistry Paper 2: Section A - "Oo.. I can do... happy happy.." *doesn't matter whether it was right or wrong!* Section B - "o.O WHAT IN THE WORLD?! *Panics* Brain deadddd." TNT is more reactive than sugar = IT IS A FREAKIN' EXPLOSIVE. It goes 'BOOM'. =_=.

I spent the entire holiday studying chemistry TOO! p-ish.

HISTORY PAPER THREE TOMORROW!!! NOOOOO!!!!! *looks pointedly at Lenin: WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REVOLT!??! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST LIVE IN PEACE?!?!*

I just spent 5 minutes of time here. Must be delusional. *leaves to return to the Russian Revolution*.

Jas woke up late today. 6.40 to be exact. Though she somehow managed to leave the house at 6.51, notice how she appears to have a very strange habit of memorizing exact times. Anyway, leaving the house 9 minutes early, you'd expect that I get there 9 minutes early but NOOOO... Stupid me took a wrong turn and ended up just as late as the day before. I secretly think the exams are not really testing my chemistry knowledge and whatever... but my driving skills -_-" Leaving at 6.50a.m. tomorrow, waking up at 6, shall try not to be late.

Note that I tied pigtails today cause I couldn't find any of my rubber bands or clips.. Anyway.. Chem Paper 1

"That was a tricky paper."

"It was?" Then I proceed to realize the numerous mistakes I got tricked into.

I finished Psych with a half hour to spare and proceeded to go to sleep because I'd only had like 5 hours the night before. I will pay for my complacency. Chem Paper 2 was two and a half hours long!! I suppose it wasn't so bad, maybe because my brain appears to be numb. That's quite sad, I'm so dumb I can't even tell I'm dumb. I was in school from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. today, sat for 5.5 hours worth of papers... Now I'm snacking cause I haven't had anything to eat and weigh a paltry 43.8 kg.

Actually I think sucrose may be more explosive than TNT because the equation for the TNT corresponded to two moles of TNT. More heat is released per mole for sucrose, although the reaction rate is lower.

And I will not say anything about the Chem paper, heh.

French today.. It was okay I suppose. Considering I wrote about 5 times more than they asked me to. Whoopsie.

Wei Yun >> I see you've started to use brackets too. Fun eh. They say so much more than words.

Jas >> I think you only got tricked for one question lah.

Jing Min >> Hi

HI SARAAAAAAAAAAAH! I shall participate in this blog post.

Hi

There, I participated. :)

Mock exam report:

2009-01-06T19:37:00.007+08:00

Day 1:

Wei Yun decides it will be a good idea to wear orange. Reason? The more orange she wears, the less likely she is to fail. She gets up at 645, puts on brown and orange headband, orange tank inside white shirt, brownish orange beads. Might still possibly fail her exams due to the fact that she forgot orange socks. So she gets to school, and sees...

Everyone! Talking about how nice it is to see each other BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY the first paper that is coming up. Su is actually memorizing literary terms which is... wow. Wei Yun, being the lazy ass she is, decides to just look through Su's list briefly before traipsing off to talk to other people- because she doesn't think she can cram in last- minute info anyway.

Now for the report:

English Paper 1, HL: Okay I guess, I loved the piece of prose that we got. It was really a great piece of writing and well I could relate to the surreal elements in it I guess? So well I think I'll do okay. Not great because I was a little stuck at the beginning, but I think I'll do okay.

Maths Paper 1, HL: WAY better than last year's paper in June. I think I'll pass this one.

Jas woke up at 6.15 a.m., took a not so nice cold shower cause she'd gone to sleep only 3.5 hours before and put on the first thing in her closet. She left the house at 7.00 a.m. at which point Wei Yun was probably STILL putting on her funky beads but Jas still got to school way later than everybody else. At 7.49 a.m. to be exact, when everyone was outside the hall. I know this because Panit messaged me at 7.47 a.m. asking me where the hell I was, most people thinking I'd overslept seeing as how I've been sleeping at like 4.00 a.m. every single day. Anyway...

English Paper 1, HL: I didn't understand crap. I did half of one, half of the other and finally settled on the first one. Took me a full 20 minutes to decide which question to do.

Maths Paper 1, SL: If people were free enough to look up, I was the one staring blankly off into space thinking "OHHHH CRAP!" But everyone else seemed to be writing so I tried to be smart and write stuff too... I stabbed myself with my compass. Twice. Once in my leg and once in my finger. Wanna see??????

Alarm rings at 645. Press Snooze.. Sleep until 710am. Brother comes in saying, 'OMG WOW. I BEAT YOU'. I wake up, rush down, and pick Sara up. Then make the insane drive to school with Sara saying, 'Wahhh.....' *must be her lack of sleep*. We get to school at 744am. ONE MINUTE TO SPARE. And run upstairs like a bunch of mad people. And get to the hall. Greetings galore. And a very loud 'GOOD MORNING'. =_=. Enter exam

English A1 HL - I like the prose. It was philosophical. I was so happy to finally get an author that I know. C.S. Lewis. I jammed alot trying to structure my essay until finally winged it and just analysed it paraphragh by paragraph. I then said C.S Lewis wrote "Alice in Wonderland". It was supposed to be LEWIS Carroll. Hello, they are almost the same. Glad to know I provided some comic relief. Because Mr. Cadman gave me a very amused look when I told him. >.<

Maths SL - First 5 questions: OHh... Nice.. easy.. I can do... Oher questions after that: OMG. WTH. DIE. So what I did was copy the question, and copy the formula, and insert whatever knowledge I had. You get points for working see. HEH. Math is murder. MURDER. Grrr maths.

This took all of 10 minutes of my Chemistry revision time. OH dear.

Yay! Considering I don't have a paper today, why not use up some of my revision time telling everyone about my shortcomings in the first paper! OH JOY! :D :D :D well I'm online anyway, might as well :) heh heh okayyyy so I woke up at 6.30-ish and ate some bread with ba hu and then I had a cup of MILO (the drink of Champions, or so they say) then off to school after I suddenly realised that I forgot to bring my jacket or something whatever its called :P so I went to search for it in my closet, couldn't find it, asked the maid where it was, and finally gave up when she realised it was kept in this huge suitcase together with loads of other clothes on top of my parents closet. Delightful. SO anyway I put on my long-sleeved shirt so I could roll the sleeves down if I got cold. Which was exactly what PiLip did too! Great minds think alike, eh? HAHAHAHA

Anyway, I'm the dude with all three Highers on the same day. English HL -> I chose the prose. No surprise there. Mr. Walton even told me that he won a bet with Mr Cadman because he bet that I would do the prose. HAHA I should get a share of the winnings! :) anyway I did it ainly because I couldn't really understand the poem. I thought it was about Dust Bunnies. And theywere DYINGGGGG awwh so sad. Then I realised that it was highly unlikely that dust bunnies would be a focal point in a mock exam poem, so I dismissed it and did Prose instead. blah blah blah

Don't even get me started on Math HL. PAH!

Business HL..... was okay at the start but I think I made some mistakes midway through and at the end, where I couldn't name a motivational theory because I FORGOT TO STUDY THAT PART *smacks head* how could I forget? that was 8 marks. and I left it blank. :( and I couldnt define what a profit centre was, so I hadn't a clue when it told me to evaluate it. -.-"

Haha. I shall add my story too! Woke up at 6.30 to Alarm 1, hit snooze, Alarm 2 rings, snooze, then Alarm 1 again, I turn it off and promptly fall back to sleep. Thankfully Alarm 2 rings and one of the 3 cousins who sleep on my floor yell at me to get up. I woke them all up with my alarms. Heh.

So, English and Maths: Doable.

Day 2:

Chem 1 and Chem 2: Also doable.

TNT is more reactive/explosive than sugar. Explain this hypothesis -.-

Let's celebrate New Year's!!!!

On New Year's day!!

Because Su and JM are away

(on New Year's eve)

(Hey that rhymed)

So anyway... I was thinking we go for dinner and then to the beach where we will fool around and take lots of pictures and maybe play with Su's sparklers. Although I was thinking we could do the beach thing first cause it'd be... bright. And I won't trip over myself. Plus Priya can watch the sunset as she says on her wish list.

Then we shall write resolutions ala WY's suggestion (WY if you see this, please tell them because I can't remember) After which we shall sleep over at someone's house. I vote JM cause her house is nearest!!

Su, JM, Priya, Panit, Sarah, Sara, WY, Darren, Kylie, you are coming =D

... You forgot Amy!

Anyway! The resolution thing. I was thinking we write one resolution, one wish to share with the rest, one wish to keep private, and the best thing that happened in 2008. Put them on a piece of paper then bury them in the sand ^__^

Are we still on? And where?

EHHH you took the 100th published post!!! I was saving up for that. Dang.

You really have to learn to stop 'saving up' for stuff. Otherwise we're just gonna beat you to it =D

Viagra helps CIA win friends in Afghanistan

2008-12-26T23:36:00.003+08:00

Not a joke, not a joke...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28389048/

I'll just throw* in the funny parts and leave out the boring parts:

The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.

Four blue pills. Viagra.

"Take one of these. You'll love it," the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.

The enticement worked. The officer, who described the encounter, returned four days later to an enthusiastic reception. The grinning chief offered up a bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes — followed by a request for more pills.

Isn't it meant to be 'throw' in the funny parts? har har Merry Christmas!

I always say it in my head and I type the wrong thing >.<

Because meeting after meeting and I'm still a cookie-holic.

2008-12-26T23:20:00.005+08:00

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Su took the 100th post!!! Oh well. She started it. I guess she's obliged to have the 100th post as well :)

Happy Boxing Day people!

Though I don't know what happens on boxing day. I assume people....box? O.o

I haven't....been here for a while.

*POOOF!* thats the sound of my neurons popping. Speaking of pop, the first words that comes to mind are:

Popcorn!
'Pop' by N'Sync
Fizzy Bubblech
Pop goes the weasel
Spritzer Pop
Pop-ular bookstore
Pop Tarts
Pop Tardddddddds :]
Bubbles :D
And for some unknown reason, Marginal Propensity to Import. GAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

I end this pointless post with a quote, from a great man who is well-liked and respected by everyone.

"OH YA~~ chirstmas....its on the 25 right......will Mr. Santa give me a present??? Can I ask for "No MOCK" ....anyway, did Mr. Santa do IB???I think he just stick to the A LEVEL...easier u see he got a job already...we still need to do EE...."

Hello

2008-12-26T03:39:00.005+08:00

It's 3.39 a.m.

I should be asleep.

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

"Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away? Do you know what its like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed?"

-Enrique Iglesias, Do You Know-

Just so happens to be playing on my iTunes. Why do I only get to blog in one colour? It's so... monochromatic.

"Why do I keep running from the truth? All I ever think about is you."

-David Archeuleta, Crush-

Next iTunes song. I think my brain is fried... I'm being random. Panit says there's been a shift in my sleep patterns. Like the rats in Groblewski's artificial illumination experiment. Biological perspective of psychology. Sarah would know. If she were awake. Which she's not.

Cause it's now 3.49 a.m.

I should be asleep.

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

Wait, I already said that.

"Where do you go when you're lonely? I'll follow you."

-Bethany Joy Lenz, When The Stars Go Blue-

GOODNIGHT!

"I gave you my love in vain. My body never knew such pleasure, my heart never knew such pain. And you left me so confused. Now I'm all cried out over you."

-Destiny's Child, All Cried Out-

3.59 a.m.

Hello Jas... There there. But I must say I am confused.. by the biological perspective of psychology.... HELLOOOOO

MERRY CHRISTMAS MY DEAREST PEOPLE [:

There. I said it on the correct day.
I know you must be missing me an awful lot.
But heyyy, look on the bright side!
At least I'm not there to poke or whack any of you, right?
Thank you all for a wonderful Uplands-ey year.
It wouldn't have been the same without all of you.

C:

Christmas-

2008-12-25T15:56:00.002+08:00

Sometimes, it surprises me that Christmas arrives so early. It's as if we were just heralding the arrival of a new year, and, with the misty breath of a tempest, the teardrops pattering and crashing towards the ground, it's over, over and done with, and you see your parents hanging the red and green decorations up above the door to signify another ending. The closing of yet another year, the sealing of the door, a time when you look back and realize the enormity of the things you haven't done and wish that you could have said the things you never said.

Among the faint black print in my Math book, I reflect, reminisce upon the people that are here with me and those that should have been, those that I wish that were and those that I'd rather not be. The people I met in Cambridge, the people from Comic Fiesta, my friends from my old school that distilled my laughter in time and were there to catch my tears when they fell... It's one of those times when you wish they were around, wish they were here to celebrate and laugh with you.

But there's also the present, the people that are here, and in no particular order, the shout-outs that are due!

Panit- I'm glad that you blog here with us. Your seriousness is always a nice counter-balance to my insanity. Thanks for making me laugh with your random posts and strange articles from the BBC.

Priya- You haven't blogged in ages! AHHH. But honestly thanks for being my friend, thanks for laughing with me, and I will always remember that day in Math when we came up with that holiday. Poor little Ollie, having to go on vacation with all those teachers in Alaska. I wonder if they caught any fish?

Su Yin- I love you. You are amazing. You've taught me so much, made me laugh so hard, that I can't believe that I didn't think that we would ever click the first time I talked to you. I adore you to bits. Thanks for listening to my rants and for having the patience when I ramble on about the most retarded of matters. CHOCOLATEEEE. THANKS FOR ALL OF IT, "Susan".

Sara- You're amazing too. You never fail to make me smile with your Sara-ness, and your Tupperware song that JM recorded... I still need to get that video off her and show it to your kids when you're old and grey and old. Though I can never imagine you being old, you lively girl. Mother Sara, I have been a good girl. Right?

Jasryn- Your clumsiness never ceases to amaze me. Now I'm no longer the village idiot during Chem practicals... Haha, kidding, kidding. You really aren't that bad, you know, because I'm worse I guess? Oh well we still need to blow up the lab once before we graduate. Just once. Piaki the Pink Penguin loves you, by the way. Even though nobody else loves it.

Amy- You aren't in The Crew but YOU DESERVE A SHOUT OUT HERE BECAUSE I MET YOU AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT I MET THE REST OF THEM AND I JUST FEEL LIKE WRITING IT HERE ANYWAY. Mummy dearest, thanks for taking the trouble to read all my writing and drivel, and for my random rambles. How all of you put up with me is beyond my comprehension, but thank you. (: I still need to get you something for Chrissymassy.

Darren- GOOOOONY. You're hilarious. You're random. You're great to talk to, and have great taste in Youtube videos. You make me smile. You make me laugh. Enough said. Don't get pecked to death, pigeon bait, spylark.

Jing Min- Do I even need to tell you how much I love you? God. I think I've made it pretty apparent. You probably know it inside, anyway. Donkey.

Sarah- Kitten! You're awesome. (: You're my fellow writer-poet, the person that's always arguing with me about who's better. (you're better by the way, I think most people would testify to that, but then again you'll never admit it) I love the way you understand my innate kiasu-ness, my desires to do better than I already am doing, and our similar retarded sense of humour. Ily. We're going to get out there, publish a book together, and KICK BUTT. Some day. (:

What would you do if aliens came to Earth to where God's son lived?

2008-12-25T14:13:00.002+08:00

Hypothetic question I came across on a message board. Refers to Christianity and Jesus Crhist by the by.

Like the aliens were like, "Sup. 2000 or so years ago, one of our prophets was like the son of God is gonna be born here. So uh where is he? We've never been here before so we don't really know our way around yet." Then we'd tell them. Then they were all like, "YOU DID WHAT?!"

What would you do?

I'll finish off with a nice web-comic as well:

The virtual battle of the sexes

By Tamsin Osborne
BBC News

Online games' emphasis on combat has led many to paint them as male pursuits

Picture a typical player of a massively multiplayer game such as World of Warcraft and most people will imagine an overweight, solitary male.

But this stereotype has been challenged by a study investigating gender differences among gamers.

It found that the most hard-core players are female, that gamers are healthier than average, and that game playing is an increasingly social activity.

Despite gaming being seen as a male activity, female players now make up about 40% of the gaming population.

The study looked at gender differences in more than 2,400 gamers playing EverQuest II.

What we think might be at play is that it's not that games are good for you, it's that TV is bad for you

Dmitri Williams

The participants, who were recruited directly out of the game, completed a web-based questionnaire about their gaming habits and lifestyles.

In addition Sony Online Entertainment, Everquest's creator, gave the US researchers access to information about the players' in-game behaviours.

Gender bias

The results showed that, although more of the players were male, it was the female players who were the most dedicated players, spending more time each day playing the game than their male counterparts.

Lead researcher Scott Caplan of the University of Delaware said the result demonstrated how out-of-date stereotypes can be.

"In many cases, stereotypes reflect what I would call a 'cultural time lag'," he said.

"What we think about men and women and videogames may have been true 10 or 15 years ago, when there were mainly console video games or single-player games.

Attitudes to games may date from the early years of consoles, say researchers

"But what were seeing now is that games become social, and as these online games become communities then the attraction for that kind of behaviour might increase for women," said Prof Caplan.

"I think a lot of our stereotypes are based on the way computer games have been, rather than where they're going."

The pressure to conform to traditional gender roles might mean that some women are put off activities seen as "masculine", whereas women who reject traditional gender roles might be more likely to play MMOs such as EverQuest II.

Perhaps in support of this the survey revealed an unusually high level of bisexuality among the women who took part in the study - over five times higher than the general population.

"These are not people who are following strict gender stereotypes," said Prof Caplan.

"I think that the game itself is right now a very non-traditional activity for women, and so I think what you would find in this population are going to be people who are in other ways less traditional than the majority population."

Consumer focus

Another unexpected finding was that the online game players - particularly the women - were healthier than the general population, though this was drawn from self-reported levels of exercise and body mass index.

Dmitri Williams, a researcher at the University of Southern California and a co-author on the study, said one possible explanation could be that playing computer games reduces the amount of time spent in front of the television.

Consoles such as the Wii have won a cross-gender audience

"What we think might be at play is that it's not that games are good for you, it's that TV is bad for you," he said.

"With television, what you get is an endless stream of commercials telling you to buy things and to consume things, and what we think we're finding is that when you remove all that consumption impulse you are probably less driven to consume."

In games such as EverQuest II, players spend their time completing quests and killing monsters, so it's possible that such in-game activities might influence players in real-life, said Prof Williams.

"It could be that games inspire a more active lifestyle, instead of sitting in front of a TV."

The study also found that men and women played computer games for different reasons, with men more likely to play to win and women more likely to play for social reasons.

Furthermore, a high proportion of women reported playing the game with their romantic partner, supporting the idea that game playing is becoming an increasingly sociable activity. The researchers say that this trend is reflected in patterns of general computer and internet use.

"If you go back 20 years and talk about people using computers and the internet, I think the stereotype would have been of a young male," said Prof Caplan.

"Nowadays, if you look at MySpace and Facebook and all of the social uses of the internet, the number of women who have it as part of their everyday life has gone up phenomenally," he said.

"In the same way that the stereotype of a computer user has become more gender-neutral, I think we'll see that with games too."

Now I'm not being sexist or anything when I say this can't be true... I'm just drawing attention to the part I bolded in the text...

"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics".

In the gaming community MMORPG is an acronym for something, and it isn't Massively-Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game... Care to take a guess what it is, anyone?

No idea. But why do your BBC articles always come out a bit odd? I can't see the later half of sentences. LOL. And do you have anything BETTER to do than surf the BBC for strange articles?

Hey who's that impersonating me? :(

Piaki the Pink Penguin!
Her name is Piaki
She's pink and fluffy
Watch out for her
She's quite unlucky
If you ask me
I think she's sucky
She's Piaki the Pink Penguin!
Her name is Piaki
She's pink and fluffy
We think she's dumb
She thinks she's plucky
Can't stand her face
It's simply yucky
Piaki the Pink Penguin!

Christmas is here!

2008-12-21T20:11:00.008+08:00

Dont you love christmas? I do.

So, on behalf of The Crew. Here's to wishing you:

A MERRY CHRISTMAS

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

!!!

It's not even Christmas or the New Year yet... Why couldn't you wait? I mean... It's the internet... It's not like we have to do anything in advance.

And to be not so mono-religious... Happy Hanukkah or whatever else you may celebrate this time of the year.

Oh shut up Panit. And besides, I felt like doing it. So there!

I think that's the excuse world dictators use...

uh oh. We're all gonna die....

Of over-population.

2008-12-17T21:07:00.001+08:00

I dunno whether I can take it anymore

Yes you can, because I'll be there to help you get through it;; ily (:

Death Wish

2008-12-15T22:24:00.008+08:00

I would actually find it pretty damn interesting if I died just to see people's reactions. I wonder what would happen if I died. Would people regret things? People don't really know what's missing until it's really gone.

Used to be like that, but decided I liked life too much to sacrifice it for my curiosity. Besides, if I died, I wouldn't know about the nice or mean things people were saying about me.

Though I've always wanted to know what people would say if I died. Hmm.

Somehow, I think if I were dead people would like me a whole lot better. Nothing is perfect until it's lost. Maybe then all the people who act like I'm dead would have their wish.

I'd kill myself just to make myself feel better from watching peoples emotions.

According to our Psychology. Freudian theory. Thanatos the death instinct is the innate desire in all living things, according to the Chemistry law of entropy (god knows why) to achieve the inanimate state of origin. Random fact dug up from the recesses of my memory. Maybe it's morbid but we are under the suspicion that everyone thinks it but no one talks about it. Anyone?

Some things Jas forgot to add:

Jas: [The Crew] says: (10:10:38 PM)

some times i think if i were dead, people would like me a whole lot better

Panit aka Evil Spawn [The Crew] Skype: panit.buranawijarn says (10:13 PM):

i wouldn't

Panit aka Evil Spawn [The Crew] Skype: panit.buranawijarn says (10:13 PM):

i'd curse u for dying

Panit aka Evil Spawn [The Crew] Skype: panit.buranawijarn says (10:13 PM):

and depriving me of an armrest

Jas: [The Crew] says (10:32 PM):

i would hug you

Jas: [The Crew] says (10:32 PM):

but yeah

Panit aka Evil Spawn [The Crew] Skype: panit.buranawijarn says (10:32 PM):

Jas: [The Crew] says (10:32 PM):

that'd be wrong

I'm being way too nice.... *sigh*

We wonder because we see death as something amazingly significant in our lives. Some see it as an ending, some as a beginning. Some fear it, some don't. But it completes the circle. Though, right of the top of my head, I imagine that if I die, some people will be sad, some will be indifferent, but after a while, most of us will move on. But frankly, as insane and as ridiculous life can be, it is far too INTERESTING to be missed. And fun too! True, life is too short, but I always think that praise, and stuff like that should always be done after careful thought. Or it might detract from the significance of such an act. BUT WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS?!?!?

Here's a solution.

Let's all shout out everything we've wanted to tell the people that we know. Don't hold back the hugs, don't stifle the praise. Because life is too short, and hey, I've always wanted to tell people every little thing I liked about them. Mm?

As a start... Sarah, Jas, I'll tell the two of you tomorrow morning. The rest of you out there shall find out, bit by bit.

Wei Yun isn't going to wait till you're dead to dole out awws.

I highly doubt we should wait till people die before we say nice/bad things about them. The whole point about praise and criticism is to make ppl feel loved and appreciated (former) and to encourage ppl to improve (latter). If they take it the wrong way then sorry la. Their problem. Personally, I wouldn't want to die just to see ppl jump off buildings in regret that they didn't say sorry to me or appreciate me more. It's their loss if they didn't in the first place. But whatever it is, I'm not one to hold grudges. AND I don't have a secret inborn death wish. No. Life's too precious to be wasted on such things. Lalala. Having said this, I will proceed to speed off to school, risking my life in the process. Cuz. I'm. Late. [:

Personally, I always felt like getting injured (OOOH MORBIDDDDDDDD! har har) just to see who would visit me in hospital. Emo leh? I guess people have these tendencies, or at least, I do. :) like that girl featured on Jas' blog wrote, she said that she hid under a table deliberately just to see whether anybody would notice if she was missing. She even brought her handphone with her. I'm not sure about the outcome, but I'm guessing nobody did. Awwwh. :( I've tried that. Though I didn't use a table. Though it got boring after a while so I stopped. TEEHEE. :D

The Origins of The Crew

2008-12-14T11:22:00.004+08:00

It all started one summer ago when a few students on holiday had nothing to do. All their own friends had school. (They went toUplands, see? Where they had different holidays from the rest)So they decided to gang up and meet up for (almost) every day of that summer. They went to the beach, to the mall, hung out at each other's homes, went to the park and went to KL.

And they called themselves The Crew. Not a name they made up for themselves, but rather one that they were given. *coughkyliecough*

But see, the original Crew soon expanded, to include those that didn't go to KL. To include those that always hung out with them too. And now, we present, a social clique of Uplands, consisting mainly of Malaysians (with the exception of Panit), we give you....

The Crew

WeiYun the orange
Su Yin the convoluted
Jasryn the cuddlebunny

Japan workers told to go home and procreate

The aim is to allow working mothers and fathers to spend more time with their children and find the time and energy to have more sex

Justin McCurry
guardian.co.uk, Friday November 28 2008 13.12 GMT
Article history

Japan's workers are being urged to switch off their laptops, go home early and use what little energy they have left on procreation, in the country's latest attempt to avert demographic disaster.

The drive to persuade employers that their staff would be better off at home with their wives than staying late at the office comes amid warnings from health experts that many couples are simply too tired to have sex.

A recent survey of married couples under 50 found that more than a third had not had sex in the previous month.

Many couples said they didn't have the energy for sex, while others said they found it boring.

A quarter of the men surveyed said they were "too tired" after work, while just under a fifth of women said intercourse was "too troublesome". A study by Durex found that the average couple has sex 45 times a year, less than half the global average of 103 times.

"It's a question of work-life balance," the association's head, Kunio Kitamura, told Reuters. "This is not something that the individual can tackle alone. The people who run companies need to do something about it."

Japan's birth rate, at 1.34 - the average number of children a woman has in her lifetime - is among the lowest in the world and falls well short of the 2.07 children needed to keep the population stable.

If the rate persists, demographers warn that Japan's overall population will drop to 95 million by 2050 from its 2006 peak of 127.7 million.

Earlier this month the crisis prompted Keidanren, Japan's biggest business organisation, to implore its 1,600 member companies to allow married employees to spend more time at home.

Several firms have organised "family weeks" during which employees must get permission to work past 7pm, but most continue to squeeze every last drop of productivity from their staff.

In response, the labour ministry plans to submit a bill early next year exempting employees with children aged under three from overtime and limiting them to six hour days.

The aim is to allow working mothers and fathers to spend more time with their children and, it is hoped, find the time and energy to have more.

Man killed for 'hogging karaoke'

A Malaysian man has been stabbed to death for refusing to stop singing and hand over the microphone at a karaoke bar, police say.

Abdul Sani Doli, 23, reportedly angered some of the customers when he hogged the stage at the bar in Sandakan town on eastern Borneo island.

Witnesses said he was attacked, and the fight spilled out on to the street.

He was punched before being stabbed to death with a knife. His body was found a short distance from the bar.

Sandakan's police chief ACP Rosli Mohd Isa said two men were in police custody, helping them with their inquiries.

Karaoke, in which amateurs can sing along to their favourite songs, first emerged from Japan and became hugely popular across Asia during the 1980s, before spreading to other parts of the world.

The Crew Deathmatch- ROUND ONE.

2008-12-02T16:00:00.002+08:00

Results:

Wan Tan Mee Eating:

"And Wei Yun lunges! Panit seems to be dying, what a disappointment, who would have thought that someone that boinky would be so bad at eating noodles? And he eats this for lunch so often, shame, shame, really... Back to Wei Yun. The nineteenth bowl of Wan Tan Mee in two hours, and she's gobbling it up, Panit can't even finish his second, pathetic he is, pathetic... She's gobbling, chewing, swallowing, what precision, what skill, what- she's almost done- WEI YUN WINS!"

(Though outside, Amy has eaten about 28394703423 bowls by then and is now starting on dessert)

Tomato squishing:

"This one is going to be close. Priya has stopped squishing the tomatoes and has taken to eating them, so it's up to Darren and Su. Su seems to be winning. She's now on her twentieth heap, she's almost done, Darren's got to pick up speed... No, wait! WHAT IS THIS? Su Yin has been distracted by... NO, NOT THE TOFU, THE TOFU'S FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF THIS DEATHMATCH, GO BACK TO YOUR TOMATOES SU YIN! Stop running towards that mound, I KNOW you're salivating, it's- OOOOOOF!"

*commentator gets knocked over; Darren wins*

Rolling down a hill:

"And it's time for the rolling competition. Sarah versus Sara. Sarah's picking up speed, she's using her running skills to win this one, she's obviously got the advantage here, Sara's going to have a hard time- no, Sara, don't knock into a tree, you're supposed to end up at the finish line, not in the hospital! No, wait, what is that at the finish line? That's EVAN KAY! Now things are starting to get interesting.

Sara's starting to actually try. She's rolling down the hill in a circular motion- a lesson learned from Panit maybe- she's overtaken Sarah, overtaken the runner- OH GOD SARA YOU'RE CRAZY, SCREAMING EVAN'S NAME REALLLY LOUDLY? She's rolling, rolling, my, we can't see her, she's just a blur now, can't you hear the passion in her voice, I can, marvellous- AND SHE WINS! COME AND COLLECT YOUR TROPHY- no, wait, I think she's more interested in Evan. Oh well."

Opera singing:

*the windows crack. Jasryn advances to the next round because the announcer bribed her to shut up*

Info overload

2008-12-01T18:31:00.005+08:00

In a random conversation with someone about his fear of sharing saliva with other people (not even a spoon!), we (me, JM, Sara & WY) tease him incessently about how he will survive kissing. He doesnt even share utensils with his mom! This goes on till a point where we've agitated him so much, he gets so worked up and utters these words:

I will be fine kissing my wife

I will be fine frenching her

I will be fine sucking (he said licking..su got this wrong before) her nipples

And I will be fine with sticking my tongue up her crotch.

At this point, I go "Ewwww!". Conversation comes to an end. Silence.

A good way to end teasing no?

Note how Su always posts convoluted stuff... Tsk tsk tsk

Deflower!

2008-11-30T23:21:00.006+08:00

"My kids will steal all your kids virginity." -SY-

Oh the horror. Beware of this woman. Do not be fooled. Her pouty look and innocent face belie her convoluted mind.

Just look at that grin, those eyes! You have been warned.

P.S. Personally, SY is starting to worry me. Her kids will never sleep over at my place. I do not want them deflowered. In fact, I will tell my kids to go play with the nice little prudes ie. JM's kids. I would like my kids to be ermm... flowered?

P.P.S Ignore the fact that I'm in the picture as well =D

She said all that I think.. after I insulted her tofu. hahaha SHE THREATENED MY YET TO BE BORN KIDDIES. GRRRRR. And THATS why you get the basement unit Su. Tsk Tsk, can't let her babysit when me and the missus go out for dinner. JM here we come. :D

YOU ARE EVIL! I was just making funny faces!!!! EVIL!!!!!!

And the threat was for Darren. For mocking me. My kids shall be innocent. Till they are corrupted by their friends. *coughlikemyownfrenshavecough**

Blackout

2008-11-30T00:52:00.003+08:00

JM and Jas arrive home from Batu Ferringhi hoping to watch an episode of 'Bones' and a movie. Just as we step into the house. 'POOF' The lights go out. We are in DARKNESS.

Neighbourhood blackout.

Ever had one of those moments when you just feel cursed? Yeah, this was one of 'em. You almost expect the scary music to start playing and somebody to pop out and go BOO.

A torchlight on the couch was the only source of light in the whole house. I call this picture... salvation.

We spent a very sad, very desperate hour or so playing speed in semi-darkness. When we got really desperate, we started playing memory card games. A game I haven't played since I was 6 years old but which I believe has contributed significantly to my apparently amazing memory and my OCD. I obsessively compulsively arranged all the cards in straight little lines and rows with even spacings between them.

JM just watched me and shook her head. Now she's leaving me to write this post all by myself. When the lights came on JM sang "Hallelujah!" and went to turn on all electrical appliances.

By the way, in that very very long time (an hour) in which we had no electricity.. we came to realise how important it was to us. No tv. No lights. No air con. No computer. No internet. No phone. Only cards and each other. What a scary thought.

How we're slowly turning into each other-

2008-11-29T15:26:00.002+08:00

Add your own here. Note that this does not mean we are losing our own individuality: it just means that your friends' little quirks do rub off on you. (:

Su Yin:
1) Wei Yun is now self-praising excessively.
2) Wei Yun is trying (and failing, just like Su) to give cute looks.

Sarah SC:

1) Wei Yun is starting to eat incessant amounts of fruits and vegetables (Though to be fair, she is also eating incessant amounts of everything else at the moment)
2) Wei Yun was referred to by Mr. Walton as "Sarah's grade-obsessed pal". Oh dear.
3) Wei Yun has taken to chewing gum in class- mind you, to keep awake only though, because I HAVE STARTED TO FALL ASLEEP RANDOMLY.
4) Wei Yun has started writing poetry.
5) WEI YUN GOT A 6 IN MATH. THOUGH SHE WILL NEVER LIKE MATH. NEVERRRRRR.

Jasryn:

1) Wei Yun is starting to get even clumsier than usual. Oh dear God.

Jing Min:
1) Wei Yun is now giving answers like "Yeah... Right. Yes, (insert person's name here!)
2) Wei Yun is now calling people "YOU DONKEY!".
3) Wei Yun is now spazzing about food... No wait, didn't she already?

Priya:

Panit:
1) Wei Yun is becoming meaner. Very mean.

Darren:

Sara Loh:

Wei Yun:

Embrace our individuality. Or the lack thereof.

Harloww.

2008-11-28T21:37:00.005+08:00

After a conversation about the new P.E. teacher which was inspired by Ms Ross' orange car we spotted at Island - the cute female one with green and red specs who also makes weird noises and awkward sudden movements just like me [:

JM: If all else fails, I will become a P. E. teacher!!!! *grins*

*silence*

SL is seen to be bopping her head, singing along enthusiastically to 'Empty' by The Click Five.

JM: I'm talking to myself, aren't I?

*silence*

After a considerably long moment..

SL: *still bopping* Mmhmm, yes. If all else fails, YOU will become a P. E. teacher!!!! Applause!! *claps hands* There would be more, but there's only one person here..

JM: -.-

Note: all this was happening while Sara wanted to pee, very badly. But JM made her stop by Cold Storage Island Plaza to get instant noodles and Cheese Sausages. Thus, the slow reply and ignoring of JM are appropriate. Slightly.

Routine

2008-11-28T19:30:00.007+08:00

A set of customary and often mechanically performed procedures or activities as defined by Answers.com

The Crew's routine:

1. To have loads of laughter.
2. To go to McD every Friday. (4 weeks in a row d!!!)
3. To take loads of videos and pictures when we go on "outings"
4. To go to KFC every Wednesday.
5. And Wan Thun Mee every Thursday.
6. To poke fun of Panit's BOINKY! (this routine shall prevail!)
7. To color coordinate our clothes *the girls at least*
8. To have random conversations like 'Ooh the toilet seat is cold, my butt feels cold. It's quivering, shriveling up O.o' in the school toilets everyday (perhaps just the girls).
**Sarah W. calls us the 'toilet buddies'. Whee.**
9. To act random and have people wonder what in the world is wrong with us.
10. To blog excessively.

A time for a change?

How about to go to the beach instead of McD?
BEACH!!! STARBUCKS!!!

Or maybe.. uh.. uh.. BATU?! LOL. Is it just me or does routine often imply = boring? hehehhe...!!!

Not always! But a change might be fun (:

DARREN SUGGESTS GOING TO BALIK PULAU THROUGH TELUK BAHANG TO FIND DURIANS!!! Though Darren is not very fond of Durians. It has been said that his hair did resemble a durian in the past, but that is long gone now, he is now into longer hair. Like Elton John's. Anyway, back to TELUK BAHANG!!!!

Darren suggests go hiking to Pantai Kerachut. It only takes a wee 45 minutes to 2 hours trip. And there's jellyfish in the sea, but who cares? Its the ambience that matters, no?

Alternately, we could go swimming by posing as guests of high-end resort, ie Rasa Sayang, Golden Sands, Park Royal, or we could just go swimming in the sea. :)

Ways to annoy your (really really bad) English teacher

2008-11-28T01:32:00.007+08:00

Speak in French
Forget to finish your senten
Read everything out loud, in a British accent (like darren :P) or Australian...
Write every essay backwards. Bottom to top, right to left.
Tell her that you dropped your homework in a birds nest
If they're no good, tell the other teachers
Play charades across the classroom
mispel evurythik
Throw chopped up rubber into your teachers hair
Ask them why you can whiten, blacken, or redden something but not bluen, yellowen or purplen it?
Tell her you know shakespeare personally, and her interpretations are wrong
Tell her you could help her get fired so she can work in a better place
GRammEr> rULES?" w'hat Gra mm:er R(u.le)s?

(note the use of the pronoun 'she' rather than 'he')

Hmm this sounds like something WY would write. ahahhaa and yes, my accent is AWESOMEEE! You should have heard my impersonation of 'The Maid' from 'A doll's house' on Thursday. :P I said one word and Mr. W changed the reader from me to Kylie. hahahaha

Wei Yun votes-

2008-11-26T23:33:00.003+08:00

That for every day this blog does not get updated, Wei Yun will consume several gallons MORE of sugar (since she consumes a gallon every day anyway, it doesn't really matter) that will increase in the form of an arithmetic sequence in the form un= u1 + (n-1) d, u1 being a gallon and d being god knows what, and the sum of all the sugar eaten will be Sn= n/2 (u1 + un), where Sn is sufficient to give any sane person diabetes or to cause death through a sugar overdose (which will not matter to Wei Yun as she is not sane)

Win-Win situation for me. I get to eat candy, or the blog gets updated. Either way...

I am a happy camper.

Everyone else goes NOOOO!

NO. Because, No.1, too much sugar will make you HIGH.. and then EMOOO.. And that's a fact. I highly doubt you want to see yourself go THAT insane. And I know it is a fact because Auntie Suzie told me(A psychologist, not the Suzie we know). So, no eating sugar according to arithmetic and geometric sequences please.

The Crew Deathmatch!

2008-11-24T21:59:00.002+08:00

Inspired by Mr. Klar and his ~~silly mustache~~ wonderful teachings, you might notice that there are a few new polls.

People, I bring you: The Crew Deathmatch... (Or not really)

Basically, you guys vote on who you think would come out on top if they were thrown into a random situation. For instance, a dance battle between Jasryn and Su Yin? A violin-crushing contest between Panit and Priya? Having to endure Wei Yun singing for longer between Jing Min and Sarah?

You vote for the winner, who goes on to the next round, and so on. And so on. The one that emerges as the winner of the final will get errrr. Errrr. No idea. LA LA LA LA LA! XD

HAVE FUN :D

What stems from post-commentary depression

2008-11-24T21:46:00.002+08:00

Conversation in the library with Sarah (typed on my laptop), which Darren interjected later on (:

we should both do our work
wei yun im sad
SO AM I
we will wallow in misery together (and grow fat like panit)
alliteration of the letters w and r
boink boink boink ONOMATOPOEIA
panit is rotund and globular. his spherish nature causes much speculation amongst scientists of the modern times, who find it impossible to fathom how in the world something could have grown to such monstrous ROUNDDDDDD proportions. upon releasing an object of substantial size onto his stomach from a height of not less than 7 cm, this said object will bounce upwards with a force of 30N (F=MA, TEEHEE) at a velocity of 6 m/s , following a massive hyperbolic curve that is symbolic of his roundness. however, when people tried to throw objects at him from nearer distances they sunk into his belly and were never to be found again. his heaps of flesh enveloped them in their BOINKETY-BOINK-BOINK embrace, joyous with the recognition of heralding such wonderful creations,

why the look of such disastrous aghast horror?

Due to the ghastly image of Boinkety-Boinkiness. GAAAAAAH now I have to get that image out of my innocent lil' mind.

*end convo due to having to control laughter in fear of retribution from Rosie*

Sigh. I really am getting mean. >.<>

2008-11-24T17:52:00.005+08:00

A conversation with Sarah C in chemistry:

Priya:
So Sarah...how is your love life??

Sarah:
I don't have a love life. I'm doing IB.

A conversation between Mr.Neild and Panit:

Mr Neild:
So how do you propose we go about organising the answers to this exam question?

Panit:
We should intergrate it.

Mr Neild:
Well done. I like that word.

Panit:
You wrote it on my sheet

Mr Neild:
I know.
This is called irony.
Go ask your English teacher about it.

Varoot:
OOOHHHH Panit...BURNNNNN

Walking in on a conversation between Panit, Jas and Su

Panit:
My tok is on the sssisssttth i think.

Me:
The sixth or the sssisssth??

Panit:
*POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE*

Panit in biology:
*POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE*

Exactly what I meany by higher animal... Or lack thereof.

Let's have a discussion

2008-11-24T15:50:00.002+08:00

Are we human beings "higher" than animals?

I'm not talking about in the food chain, just in the sense that we are "above" them.

Discuss.

I'll start off by saying that I don't believe we are; we're the only species that wakes up every day either wondering if we're going to get killed or be killed by our own kind, or whether we're going to be backstabbed or betrayed. We're the only species that would eradicate another or put the world on the brink of destruction - because we can.

Personally I'm not overly proud of being human...

The Apartment

2008-11-23T22:30:00.018+08:00

When we grow up, we shall have the Crew's appartment.

Imagine the elevator buttons:
Basement The Lai's
Ground floor
Floor 1 The Chia's
Floor 2 The Goon's
Floor 3 The Ng's
Floor 4 The Lim's
Floor 5 Entertainment (Movie theatre and bowling alley)
Rooftop terrace (Swimming pool, bar, BBQ pit and The Deck)

And here's Darren's artwork of each floor and the "important" rooms in each floor.

WY says she will write a book and get it published to fund the building of the apartment.

Panit feels left out. And will say the same for Sara, Sarah and Priya.

Darren only had a small amount of space to draw, so he only did it for the people present. :D give Darren a bigger sheet of paper, and HEY PRESTO! AWWW DID PANIT DIDDYKINS FEEL LEFT OUT? SCHOOCHYMOOCHYPOO. HAR HAR.

EWWWWWW!!!!!

People, this is a demonstration of "tough love". Anyway! Sarah's house will be near a giaaaant garden so that she can grow (and talk to) her little veggies and carrotsies, Sara's will be with her Baby I think? Priya will like with Federer :D And Panit gets the broom closet.

I'll defy the laws of Physics and create a space in between floors to live.

You wouldn't fit. HEH

OWNED! har har har

A conversation....

2008-11-23T18:58:00.009+08:00

Talking about Polls... Someone needs to die for this last one.

But why panit?? it's one you're winning comfortably hahaha

haha he said someone needs to die? Statistics show that by popular demand, Panit shall be sacrificed to the Volcano so that the Rain Gods will shower down onto the vast plains of Africa and so Melman the Giraffe can go on his honeymoon with that sassy Hippo. What a waste of a good giraffe. Burn Panit instead? hahahaha

Oral Commentaries:

2008-11-22T09:06:00.009+08:00

Report on status here after all people in your class are done with the commentaries- which means Sara, Jas and Jing Min go first. (:

Mine isn't til next week :]

...

Actually I don't know if that's a good or bad thing... O.o

A good thing until Sunday when we all get to gloat?

Panit answering for us yet again =P why aren't you online Panit??? Nobody is annoying me with stupid head patting smileys. Jas got Wind by Hughes. Was referred to as Sarah 3 times by Mr Cadman. Jas repeated a lot of words. Jas ran out of the IOC exam room. And slammed into a door. Jas' shoulder hurts =( Jas misspelled enjambment as enjoulement. Idiot. Jas is... hungry.

Jing Min got 'Asia' from "Running in the Family" by Michael Ondaatje.

*inserts comment before Wei Yun*
HELLO BELLO SMELLY JELLY JELLO! [: Sara got Jaguar by Ted Hughes. Mr. Cadman asked if I was 'Happy" with what I fished out of the envelope. I was like uhhh.....I suppose I'll make do. I would have preferred a prose passage. Or one of those with words like Boohoo, Achoo and Gobbledygoo. Blehh. Newayzzz..I could have done better, but what happened, happened and there's no use dwelling over the past, right? && I'm so not looking forward to my marks.

P.S. I love Wei Yun no matter what happens! Oh, and Jas, too. XDDD
Btww I'm supposed to be depressed. La la la [:

Wei Yun probably screwed hers up, got O-blahdee-thello, stupiak guy talking to stupiak girl, my love for Othello has died just like my love for English has for the time being (will be rekindled in a few days or with the writing of some bad bad bad poetry, or with a good commentary score 26-29 out of 30 which is not going to happen any more) and I think that I messed up big time because I dunno I dunno I dunno I feel like I stupied so freaking BLAHDEE hard for freaking BLAHDEE NOTHING. od;;df;;;;

Su is done too! I got The Thought Fox by Ted Hughes. Written in 1957 based on a dream. I thank Sarah and WY for sending me the link. I left the room calm. I did not run out. But I met Johan right after and went AHHHHhhhh!!!! Lost my cool there. Oops. And then while waiting for KS to finish, I got to watch people play b'ball.

Darren got Wind. :D Ted Hughes is pretty the coool, and Mr Walton is super-secret stealthy FUYOH. HAR HAR he didn't wear a tie today, and the lady invigilator lady was nice. She lent me a green highlighter and two pencils. :) I chose envelope number THREE because when I was in Primary School my school number was 97003 as '97' denotes the year I joined the school and '003' was my number in the form. So I like Number 3. :D Darren planned to check his HoroScope in The Star today to see what his lucky number for this week would be, but he forgot so he went with THREE. Heee. Darren spoke too slowly initially but he picked up speed once he realised he was only halfway through the extract at 8 minutes. Dang. OOOOH Mr Walton had this SUPER-SPECIAL Countdown thingeh with BIGGG numbers. Cool. Awesome. Amazinggg. And yeah I missed mentioning the structure of the poem, and also didn't talk about the last stanza yet when he was stopped. Mr. Walton then asked me three questions. Delightful.

Overall, happy. Though I'd have prefered the get 'Dulce et Decorum Est' by Owen. Wheee still Darren is pretty satisfied with 'Wind'. After all, it could be worse. I could have gotten 'Asia'. :O :O :O THE HORROR! Thank you school number 97003. :D :D :D

Music Overload.

2008-11-21T12:59:00.009+08:00

Hello, Sara just finished her flute exam yesterday. Yes, I play the flute. After weeks of panic, nerve-wrecking fear, endless sleepless nights, it is OVERRR. And she feels good! GREAT! FAN-FRICKING-TASTIC! Yeah. Oh and last night was Extraordinary Sounds, and that was good! GREAT! FAN-FRICKING-TASTIC! too. We had Carla's smashing alternative rock band 'Carpe Sapien', electrifying experimental music by KS and gang, African Drumming by the 'Yellow Africans' (including sara), blablabla..and Capoeira! Liani came! Capoeira's awesome. It's like the most graceful martial art ever. It incorporates dance, self-defense and music and blends them all together to create a wonderful flow of creativity. So coool. They practically defied gravity with their flips and turns and mock fighting.

On another note, NONE of you came. The only non-music-student in Year 13 who came was Ming. AND PATRICK. Whoops. So much for friendship.

*stabs everyone with a sweet smile on*

Nevertheless, Sara had loads of fun getting high on music and laughter and extremely weird dancing antics. She then went home to collapse half-dead on her bed, only to remember she hadn't brushed her teeth or taken her bath yet. And this is why you have prolly noticed Sara was not in school today. Anyhow, Sara will see you ppl tmr, those of you sad souls like Sara who have English Oral Commentaries tmr. All ze bestest! Gaaahhh!

Lots of lurrrvveee,
Sara.

Chemistry class:

*Chaya forgot to bring her paper*
Mr. Newton: It's okay, I can always photocopy another one. Take mine. Trees grow anyway.
Wei Yun: So says the person teaching Environmental Chemistry?
Mr. Newton: I don't always have to practice what I preach!

*We are talking about why the North Pole does not have depletion of the ozone layer in different seasons*
Mr. Newton: There are no penguins! Therefore there aren't any animals to dance around like in Happy Feet!
Wei Yun: NOOOOO! THAT'S BECAUSE SANTA IS IN THE NORTH POLE!

Yes, I think I can acknowledge my dumbness. (:

How come he isn't that funny with us?!??! Besides the fact that we are half dead most of the time.. HEH.

Chain Emails

2008-11-20T16:58:00.007+08:00

I don't often read them, I don't often send them on.

But this time, I did.

This should be sitting in most of your emails now (except Goony), however I feel the need to repost it here... With some minor changes... :]

Once upon a time in Singapore, there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their 3 lovely daughters; Jasryn, Jing Min & Su Yin.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.

Years passed, and it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable ' leng chais' (handsome guys).

They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As 'concerned' (more like 'kay-poh') parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious about their daughters' first-night experience.

So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Ng told them......'Your father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands' curiosity...you all must use a code-name to describe your experiences'.

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.

Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It was from Jasryn.
They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. 'Ah! here it is!', exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was... 'BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY'
Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Jing Min. The content was simple. 'NESCAFE'. So, again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. 'Ah! here it is. 'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP'. Mr. & Mrs. Ng beamed with joy.

Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no letter from Su Yin.

The Ngs became worried.

Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was 'SINGAPORE AIRLINES'. Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. 'Ah! Here it is!' Mrs. Ng grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish ...THUMP!!!...she fell off her chair. The motto was ...'7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP'.

(The Ng family name was a coincidence by the by).

HAR HAR BOINKY. I already received that email. Thanks to ever-reliable PRIYAAAAAAAA! :D and editing it was kinda sad........... :P the 'Su' part was funneh though. HAR HAR

ROFLMAO WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAD DARREN? CHANGING THE NAMES WAS MADE OF ABSOLUTE WIN. Great job!

Priya sent it first!!! Quit being such a cheat Panit =P

And why do Jasryn, JM and... well, SY I understand... but why the rest of us????

NO! It is not fair to put all of us there. Stick to the originals!

panit....you sorely lack imagination i tell you ahahaha

but appropriately picked names nonetheless :P

Put The Big Red Button on your site

Jas would like everyone to note that she introduced Panit to the Big Red Button. But he forgot. Evidence can be found here.

Panit... WHY DID YOU STEAL MY BUTTON?

ahahaha omg i can't believe i spent a part of my life clicking red buttons forever and ever XD

i did stop at one point though...only cause the keypad was about to explode

um is there actually an end??

Yes Wei Yun... even though it feels unending, trust me, someday, it will be over. There is an end. Just head for the light!

Sorry, random. Too much English.

Jas, that's PRIYA. Though after so much reading.. i can understand how the mistake was made.. ITS CONFUSING......... *eyes pop* HAHAHHAHA you actually tried TO CLICK IT! *can't say anything cos she tried to.. in January* >.<

Allow me to introduce...

THE GAME.

The Rules:

The objective of the game is to forget about its existence

1. You are always playing the game.

2. You lose when you think about the game.

3. You must publically announce when you lose.

Enjoy :]

NOTE: Apologies if you have come across this before, this was big years ago... Now, well, have fun :]

Oh and btw, I lost.

P.S.

Blame Allison for reminding me. Stupid bloody Panda.

AHAHAHAHAHAH oh no panit....i remember this one

i thought it was a real game -,-

is reminding others allowed??

HAHA when you announce "I LOST" you then remind everyone immediately because they too are reminded that they lost, so you remind them, and if you try to remind them of The Game otherwise you thought about The Game therefore you lost too.

This reminds me of CamTrad so badly >.< Some people in our group (the SSS, don't ask about the name because even we don't know what it stands for) would just shout it out randomly, and everyone lost and was like... NOOOO! Though there's a version that if you say "Moo." without thinking of The Game, you can actually win.

AND I LOST OTL||

Bored and should be studying for English Commentary but I am a piece of shit

the lovely flame that
breathes from my cupped
palm on your shoulder, that
bursts into an emblazoning
fire along the nape of your neck.
each smoldering of ash is a
gentle caress.

the blossoms of heat are
a pulsing beat, of life
that sprouts along the
length of my deadened hand;
giving it breath,
breathing blood into
the cold, blue fingers

Motivation, or the lack thereof

2008-11-16T18:12:00.005+08:00

I need to stop procrastinating so much LOL-

Ehh!!! There can only be 100% of me... And I'm NOT insane. Maybe just a tad bit. But not 100%.

Well, you're on this blog, aren't you? HAHHAHAHAH

Sarah's Half Marathon

2008-11-16T11:30:00.007+08:00

These are the toes of my left foot

And these are the toes of my right.

They are this way due to an obsession with running, as possibly the 26 kilometres I ran this morning.

I arose at 2.15 a.m. to defecate and carbo-load, something only a mad person would do. After having defecated and carbo-loaded with oats, prunes and biscuit-y things which all of you would not consider biscuits due to them being really healthy, I proceeded to study about the mechanisms of how Iago comes to dominate and be in control which parallels Othello's descent into sexual jealousy and lack of judgement. At 3.30 a.m., my father (who is possibly mad too) and I drove to Queensbay.

Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a multitude of bodies already sweating, jostling and whining even though the race hadn't started yet. We could not find the registration counter. In fact, "registration" consisted of giving someone your paper and receiving a rubber band in return. Excellent.

I waited in the toilet line for 15 minutes and it was horrendously smelly (16,000 participants in this competition, so you can imagine.)

My race started at 5.00 a.m., so I warmed up a bit and observed the antics of the other runners, judging them (albeit a bit harshly) on my ability to possibly beat them. If you don't wear proper shoes, you're not a runner; but I think I don't look like one because I wear tracksuits to run. All the good runners wear skinny shorts and large underwear which cover their butts. Anyway, I am being crude. It is all Iago's fault.

So I went to the starting line really early and waited because it's such a waste of time and energy to try to push your way through the eager amateurs when the race starts. I saw SGGS cheerleading team who were energetically cheering their hearts out at 5 a.m. (BRAVO GUYS! I WILL ALWAYS BE A GEORGIAN AT HEART). And they saw me and waved and cheered as I passed so that was lovely. The lion dance was very noisy but, I can see why people say it's beautiful. Very artistic and it tells a story.

So at precisely 5 we started which is quite surprising, this being Malaysia. I started off slow as normal, a few people I've seen around Botanical Gardens running all the time were going at about my pace.

Runrunrunrunrunrunrunrunrunrun
PoundPoundPoundPoundPoundPound

Met Lina who is a superb runner for her age. She was ahead of me for the first 8km and a bit, but I think she started off too fast.

This other Thai lady who was in her 30s was running beside me all the time, we paced each other. But towards 11-12 km, I was dying out and she raced ahead. At the half mark, I saw a water station and shouted 'WATER!' and tried to drink but must of it ran on my shirt. People were pissing by the side of the road in the dark.

Turnedthecornerslowingdowntiredanotherlonglongwaytogo
Shouldistopyesnoyouidiotyourealmostthere

Heard someone say 'GO Sarah!' And I assume it was Patrick (he arrived late, and was possibly disappointed because they did not serve beer at the water station).

The next few km were a blur. After running the whole length of the bridge one way, I now had to run all the way back. I kept a steady (but quite slow) pace and it just seemed bloody endless

but I persisted

about 18-19 km down the line, I thought I was going to die. Then I saw a refreshments station. Now me being an obsessed retarded person who refuses to consume many things, I do not normally drink 100 plus. But I was like, screw it. When push comes to shove, just gasak.

So I drank 100 plus and I don't know whether it was the mental thing or if 100 plus actually works but suddenly I wasn't going to die anymore

So now it was RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN

And the Thai lady was already like 2 minutes in front of me (This is about 400m at our pace) so I kinda gave up chasing her

Then suddenly I saw "4.5 km to go!"

So I sped up because 4.5 km is like running from my house to Island Glades and back which isn't much

And then I was past USM and it was back to Queensbay

And I was flying

And I saw the Thai girl and I beat her

Last 2 km

Stretch

Head pounding

Breath going crazy

iamnevergoingtorunabloodyhalfmarathonagain

400m

sprint

200m

stride

......and then

I saw balloons. I saw people cheering. I saw a ribbon.. So I stopped. I thought it was the finishing line. My head was going all funny. I couldn't stand properly.

A lady held me up. "Are you okay? Where are your parents?"
Me: What's my time? What's my time?
Lady: Time? I don't know.. You haven't finished yet

Me: WHAT? FUCK! (I actually screamed this)

...yes. After running 25 kilometres 900m, I stopped with 100m to go because I mistakenly thought it was the end. I didn't know how far the Thai girl was behind me.

Having lost the rhythm, I half heartedly ran the last 100m, dejected, disappointed, cursing myself for my stupidity

... Then... "Congrats, you're 5th"
Me: *blabberjumbleofwordstryingtoexplainpredicament*
Person: It's okay, no one overtook you
Me: It's the time that counts! I stupidly *jabberjabber*
Person: Uh.

So anyway
Yes
I got 5th in the Women's Open Half Marathon, which was more than a half marathon because I ran the thing in 2 hours 07 minutes (but please allow for my stopping at the 100m mark) so its around 2.05. And that is definitely more than 25 km because no way was I running 5 minutes per km. It was much faster.

So I got RM600 after waiting for 3 hours for Lim Guan Eng to arrive and give his speech and his wife presented huge cheque to me.

...Overall, a satisfactory day. Because the other runners were all from Thailand, Kenya, etc. Some Malaysians too but they're seasoned runners, 20+, 30+.. I can't believe I'm in the "open" category. It sounds so old.

Anyway

Dad finished his in good time too, no prize but still, for 57 he's going strong.

Now, lunch, work, sleep.

Hope you guys don't mind me posting about it.

OMG ahahaha you have an amazing sense of humour despite the fact that you should be fast asleep right about now

if not for that stop huh damnnnnnn you still make us proud of you either way :)

so my chem/bio partner came 5th in a half-marathon women's open catagory huh (did i get that right?? XD)

yay i get to brag even more about you now!!! LOL

Sarah has tiny toes.

OLD Age I tell ya'! OLD AGE!

2008-11-15T22:27:00.006+08:00

There are many things that I wanted to put on this blog. And the others too...

Until...

WE
FORGET.

>.<
We have now resorted to writing lists.

The prom run
The mini prom
SY learns how to cook
Maids, one for each child
Black and white nail polish
Jas on cars and JM's car

JM on Jas being short

And convo's too!!
Ones like these:

*Jas puts on dress*
SY : It looks trashy
*stunned silence*

Panit: Pink is so last year.
SY : Oh my god Panit! Pink was so two years ago.
*Cue laughter*

Jas: JM, WEAR THIS DRESS!
JM:.......Um... no? It looks a bit too short.
Jas: But I can wear it......... *thinks*......*lightbulb*... HEY!

Jas: Oo.. this is a nice dress! I think it'll look good on SY!
JM: I don't think she'll fit into it. She's taller.
Jas: Heyyy... you insulted me!!! *hides with Priya*
JM:.... *thinks* WOOPS! SORRY SORRY!!!!

As you can see, we often unintentionally insult each other/Jas.

Orange Pocky

2008-11-15T21:14:00.006+08:00

Guys, yesterday, Jas, Darren and I went to Gurney with Panit and Allison and Eveline and KS. After the four of them left, we went to Winter Warmers where we bitched about life and took random photos like this:

But that's not the point. The point of this post was...

Yes, people, the orange pocky that I bought before the movie.

Oh God. It is absolutely wonderfultastically heavenly and godly and wonderful and lovely and brilliant. The orange chocolate isn't too sweet, just sweet enough to tinge your taste buds with that whiff of chocolatey richness and the orange-flavoured zest. It's not too overbearing, not too sugary, not too bland, just perfect. The biscuit and the chocolate combine until it's like they melt in your mouth together, a melange of sweet and crunchy as the citrus taste emerges from the tip of your tongue, to the roof of your mouth, and-

MORE PICTURES. I CANNOT DESCRIBE MY LOVE FOR THIS EXCEPT WITH IMAGES.

Orange and orange! :D

Best candy I have ever had. No joke. >.<>
