Conscription Theory

(old draft that never got posted)

i wanna break.......since the coming of Christmas, there has been non-stop request for pple to join choir or caroling or whatever....its almost non-stop

well, i can't say its a bad week either...just feel kind of bum-ed out

the funny thing is that Maky is going overseas. and Gideon is going overseas: both to study in Trinity...BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA....i wonder if they ever meet....BWAHAHAHAHAH......

i've just found the joy of youtube, i can listen to music that i don't have, and since i don't have the file on my com, neither own the cd with the file nor download it, i can still enjoy listening to the MUSIC VIDEO and enjoy the music legally (since its not necessary to watch the video to hear music, firefox's tabbed browsing has never been more useful)

and lately i've been doing that, watching/listening to music on youtube..as well as admiring macromedia flash productions on newgrounds (specifically, though under the series/CCC CITY)

foxtrot came out with one of its funniest strips(there are plenty of them, thats why they're comics), jason was talking about music with "folk" this and that...HAHAHA

well...its the hols, not many complains mostly sleeping late and waking up even later...

calendar check:

Nov - just mainly choir practices and stuff...nothing much in weekdays EXCEPT for the upcoming science + math camp....man i'm toast...

Dec: Youth Camp first up, have to plan finish the Pulau Ubin trip....(more worried about the youths in the YM then the BB boys from swiss cottage, of course, the BB boys know first aid, the youths don't) then next up after ONE DAY OF REST...TRIP TO EAST TIMOR....wow...my dad got this water project he's planning, he wants to improve the water supply the village is getting...he even did deep research [he does that for everything anyway] (using google earth, he determined that the north side of the country gets less water from the mountains,found a website that explained the equation of a reservoir, IMPROVED on the equations, and made himself a own built-from-scratch kinol-whatever-meter(the ones that measure angle of elevation)(which he was so sad to realize that it was LONG AGO BEEN INVENTED) and found a website that explained the native language)(all i've done is research into their history, which is quite saddening to read, and happy that they finally achieved their goal of independence....)

my bro got exams till the first week of december...so i can't bother him
my parents aren't going for youth camp (my dad got marks adjustments for his students and my mum wants to make sure he eats proper food)(he says he can cook, just that he doesn't cook a lot)

i had this weird dream that my room was trapped in a hole in the space-time continuum(i'm not sure how you spell it)...that i can access the time when my parents first got my house and the present, strange enough my room is still linked to the present, so i can access electricity from the present(aka my com and aircon still work)...it's kind of funny imagining their responses to things i tell them and show them (for one, i dreamed that my mum would never imagine of getting a second son [note: my bro wasn't born yet when they first got the house],my dad was amazed at how young he looked in the future) and best of all, their utterly shocked faces on seeing the future of computers (linked to the future is so good). if you think about it, it was rather funny, talking to my parents when they were younger, even if it was only a fleeting dream...

Never let your dreams fly away, i think its proof of my sanity, that i'm normal and human, that i exist...Cogito ergo sum

ps: if you don't know what those last three words mean, it's latin and search wikipedia for it

after so long

i finally am able to POST ON BLOGGER...YAY...

before this post, i had THREE AMAZING LONG POSTS...but due to certain conditions of my computer..(late night, air-con being cracky, net connection kept dying due to something with com...cd-drive giving problems,messenger giving problems, windows update using firefox [that was laggy]) the connection to blogger wasn't really good...not to mention the pple who did my tagboard just betrayed me and deleted my account...i would say i've been overly pissed at how amazing technology backfires...

so far, things have been good here at my end. almost no problems at all.been having my bro give me advice on drawing (he's as good as if he really were professional...then again, he is now). my dad putting me through his excel course, haha, maybe i'll pop by his class as a teaching assistant or something before i go NS in two years time..(provided he still is there teaching, the 100% confirm thing is that he's stuck with that course). my mum is still teaching small at home. Zachery just got a PS2 (not by my influence, he got our old PS1 too, which has a cracky side only i and my bro can solve) and hence Zanna technically "inherited" the PS1, provided she can work it....she loves Puzzle Bubble...maybe should let her play with my mum. Bro is still studying...still the artist/poet/singer/gamer/engineer (what kind of engineer would have this combination of talents?)(too talented)

fencing is pretty good, 1)since we covered basics, we aren't that tired out from all the drills,2)i like the french grip,3)i have a left-handed friend inside fencing to fence with (RYAN),and a saber-lvl guy, so i got variety too.

cd-drive been posing some problems...lately it refuses to open, i have to place an empty disc when i'm not using it to make sure it still opens later...at least it still works

my HP software just died on me (and to a lesser extent, my bro)...now i can't scan anything with extra help to focus on certain features....guess i have too do it by hand or other software...

i wanted to do several series of post on topics...like philosophize when i'm free or something like that or produce a completely sarcastic views on stuff, or just let my other-self write lots of weird stuff...(which was one of the posts that didn't make it through to blogger), and then there is just the easy option of writing about my life....

he's gonna take the eeeaassssyyy one...

so i'll take philosophizing a bit and sarcasm since its the hols ( damn)

ironically i dreamed that i'll be writing a post on all religion, which kicked up a fuss and a headhunt...scary how powerful blogs are...(at backfiring)

so good nite pple

p.s (no its not princess sophie you d-v-code fanatics) will my friend pls write something on your blogs, i know i never update the blog list on the side and i don't have a tagboard anymore so you'll have to comment manually...sorry, but i'm running out of things to inspire storyline, a little help with "insights" of life would be a good change, thks

declared: holidays are a hoax

finished "o" lvl paper, wasn't so bad, but still not sure i can hit A2...prelim only hit C5...my chinese is really bad, and i'm taking higher chinese, so it really doesn't help that the standard is much higher now.

Nov-Dec Sch hols have started....but since my bro entered University, he hasn't got time to renew our game supply...(he makes sure that we don't waste money by getting games BOTH of us like...actually i'm fine with almost everything, except FPS on consoles), so PS2 is actually gathering lots of dust...i can't scan anything on my com cos my HP software suddenly died..and that little program helps me lots......and (for my bro to read if he reads this) i can't fix it even after uninstalling, removing all registry traces of it, and every last folder and reinstalling it...HP director just refused to show up properly..however, all other HP software still works (ironically the part i try never to use)

i "joined" the church choir for this year's Christmas. (join is actually incorrect, since my mum just asked me once and that was just 1 min before she put my name down-kind of situation, conscript would be a slightly better term )

before the end of sch, i joined the newly opened fencing club ("we paint your fences and walls and future and even your dog!"joking) and i never realized how fit fencers are. first training and i nearly blacked out cos i forgot to drink sufficient water, and then sweat was in puddles in the MPH...for three days legs are sore...fortunately upper body is ok, or else i'll have problem doing anything. tomorrow another training...MORE FUN..who's up for more glove game?

since the hols started my class has gotten a bit busy, Maky organised an outing (but cancelled cos Escape theme park was closed that day), Louis just had a party at his house (today 4pm, i didn't go, song only told me around late morning/noon), jake was really busy burning 1 year worth of vids and pics of the class into dvds (of which i'm 30% of the pics have binru inside, it has become the side joke of the dvd, that and the several weird crusades of Ma Ping to reclaim his pencil box and various items/clothing from various weirld locations, the water attack of Seng and Raam, and many more [at least 10 more])

friend's blog mostly not updated (except jake and lucas)...so pretty much nothing to read online

and to top the year off, i've been "electrocuted" twice, once by static and the other by a small current. beginning of the year, physics practical, teacher show us device that when winded can produce a current btw two metal spheres and then ask me to try first and put finger inbtw spheres, current went through and finger shocked.
2nd time was nearer the end of year, trying to finger out why the sound not produced when dvd player plugged into sch plugs, held wrong part of audio plug (held metal instead of rubber), right-hand first two fingers felt really hot (like they were in hot water) and then when i let go, small muscle spasms...COOL but slightly painful and weird, not to mention dangerous. the dvd was plugged to the wall socket, if a full current had been flowing to the audio cable, i won't be writing this experience...(thankfully dvd player don't need that big a current to send audio)

so hows your hols....if you are mich,song,christina,jake,lucas, PLS BLOG if you have a little free time, i'm really bored reading so called International Bestseller of thriller when after the introduction of the child-hood evil boy it becomes so obvious that he is the grown up bad guy...
