And I quote:

                           Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi was the man who single-handedly liberated India from the the British Empire. And he achieved all this without the use of violence. Here are some of his quotes:

1) Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

2) I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.

3) I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent

4) Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

5) The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

6) Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

7) What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

Death by Weather

DAMN. The heat is unbearable. Did hell like...freeze over?

Global warming used to be something I read in a textbook.
Now, our planet has become one big frying pan

...

Anyway, this holiday has been mostly uneventful.
Didn't get as much money for CNY as I had hoped
(means no iPhone this year)
and I spent Valentine's Day all alone

It always rains on the unloved *Sigh*

"Speaking of rain, it doesn't rain enough nowadays"

ANYWAY,
I went out with my CellGroup to visit each other's houses for CNY. It was badly organized on my part. Sorry for the confusion everyone. Only me, WenJune, Samuel, Andrea, Judith and Elaine ended up going. We all somehow managed to fit in one car...

I found out that WenJune actually lives right next door to my grandmother. XD. I played on her PS3 for the very first time.

And the game I played was...

Call Of Duty: Nazi Zombies. Awesome game.

Better than killing zombies...
Better than killing Nazis...

I killed...NAZI ZOMBIES!!!

She also has a RM800 teddybear... (0_O)

Also visited Judith's house. Played on her PS2. My Tekkan skills have degraded alot over the past 2 years. I used to be able to memorize all the characters and their attacks
(which explains why I fail my school exams)

Visited Elaine's house shortly. Played Blackjack and managed to lose around RM5. (-_-")

Some of us followed Elaine to badminton practice which was held in some secret facility (LOL) somewhere in the middle of the jungles of Jelapang.

And then I went home.
And slept until evening

Ideas for Commonwealth Essay Competition

I'm pretty amazed at how many people from around the world found my blog by searching for this post. If you happen to be reading this, drop a comment here or in the chatbox, just so I know you were here. Enjoy

1. What technological invention(s) would most improve life in your community?
Probably the gas chamber. Pity the Germans already discovered it. Maybe I could reintroduce it to society in a more casual, people-friendly way

2. The mad scientist.
Hmm...I'm looking for a variety of post-apocalyptic themes. From zombies to mutants to giant robots

3. What positive steps can you or I start to take to tackle climate change?
I quote Joseph Stalin: Death is the solution to all problems. No man...no problem.

4. The day the computer started misbehaving.
I handcuffed it to the bed and brought out my whip...kinky. XD

5. "Science never solves a problem without creating ten more." (George Bernard Shaw)
Said the man who invented the atomic bomb. Application for citizenship in Japan was DENIED

6. An adventure in space.
Zombies in space anyone?

7. What is knowledge? Who owns it? How can it best be taught or transmitted?
Knowledge is power. Power = Money. The Jews own it. And they transmit it the same way they transmit STDs and AIDS

8. A 'eureka' moment.
"I found my car keys"

9. Is your generation wiser than your grandparents' generation?
We may be SMARTER. But I think they're definitely WISER. Excluding those having dementia and other psychological diseases.

10. Welcome to my Utopia!
A beautiful place filled with chess sets, Japanese girls, cats and communist literature...

Sigh. I don't even know where to begin
-Mark-

And I quote:

                   Joseph Stalin

Some of the most interesting (and un-democratic) quotes by the former dictator of the Soviet Union.

1) Death is the solution to all problems. No man...no problem.

2) Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs

 
3) Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

4) The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.

5) The people who cast the votes don't decide an election. The people who count the votes do.

6) The Pope? How many divisions has he got?

7) When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use

Why did I wake up this morning?

ARRRRGHHH *cough*

Got a sorethroat now...damn weather. Can hardly breath. *gasp*

Anyway, I observed something interesting in school :

43 boys, after 17 years of upbringing and a few million years of evolution...are terrified of a single bee commiting suicide multiple times against the class ceiling fan. (-_-)

Charles Darwin would be disappointed...

On the brightside, Judith's party is tomorrow.
Which reminds me...I haven't finished her present yet. XD

So much to do, so little time. Sigh

Also, I'm quite certain I would run screaming if confronted with 10 million fireflies
I hate insects...and there's a huge ******* cicada flying around outside my house every morning. Damn

Purple is Not Gay!

Thanks to someone, looks like I'm blogging again. XD.
For those of you still reading my blog, welcome back.

I actually stopped blogging because I've officially run out of useful and/or witty things to say. My posts have become...rather lame and uninteresting. For that I blame my school for not providing me with a proper education, I blame the government for limiting almost all the interesting topics I can blog about...and I blame society in general for being too damn boring.

But there is one thing I've learned from my Pendidikan Moral teacher (and Obama), which is not to blame anyone but myself. So yes, I also blame myself. LOL

Now that I've clarified this (and put you all to sleep again)... you can expect more posts from this blog for the coming months

*WARNING: Cultural reference*

In my next posting, readers can expect a lame video (more like...6 lame videos) and some retarded jokes involving a vampire, a werewolf and and their interracial-loving girlfriend

"Oh yeah, how is school?"

School is...well...school.
I didn't miss it during the holidays, and I probably never will.
I do miss certain friends though...especially those awesome people who celebrated my birthday with me on the 16th.

Rites of Passage

Celebrated Weisoon's birthday last night.
Had a good time, I ate like crazy, met old friends and...new (even crazier) friends

His party was held at Skycorner Restaurant.
I almost couldn't find the damn place...thanks to Weisoon's directions which I could not understand. This was his SMS to me:

just that...you see..let's say that you are at tesco you see some alot
of shop there isn't it.. just go till the end of that rows of shop. and
skycorner will be around thr..

I stopped by at Jusco first to buy Weisoon his birthday present...which was an angpau with a RM10 DiGi reload card inside. LOL. Something practical right? All teenagers need credit.

We ordered ALOT of sushi and steamboat.
It was way too much for ten people to finish...AND we were forced to finish the food, since we get charged an extra RM50 for each 100g of uneaten food. What the hell...

Also, there was a TV there.
So I watched Saw and some Korean horror movie with Judith for a while.

We had no idea what was going on, but from what I can understand:

The movie was about a detective who got raped once, now investigating a girl who got raped a few years ago who came back as a ghost and raped the people who raped her before.. Essentially...everyone got raped. XD

Good movie...gotta love the Koreans

Got to wear Vivian Cheah's Quantum Pendant. Really pretty. Protected my DNA for 15 minutes. HAHA. When I found out the price was RM300, I almost had a heart attack...

Oh yeah,
then Vivian Cheah went missing after a while.
Thought she got kidnapped (and raped...like in the movie). So Samuel and I went to investigate. Found her buying cetak rompak VCD's. Supporting piracy. How sad.
Shortly after, her mom came to take her home.

She was also the first to leave

And this is my favourite part...

After bringing out the birthday cake, we sang (screamed?) Happy Birthday as loud as we could. Everyone else in the restaurant was staring at us...but they were smiling lah.
Then Weisoon blew out the candles, cut the cake and we started eating.

Then, Amanda Pan started staring at a forgotten piece of cake, smiled at me, picked up the cake...and smashed it into the side of my face. LOL. I didn't know she had it in her.
So I returned the favour by wiping my hands on her hair. She screamed at me, and smeared even more cake on my face and hair.

Afterwards, we went to the sink to wash it out...Yen Fong helped me to get it out of my hair (thanks Yen Fong)...

After we payed the bill, I sent Weisoon and Vincent to Jusco. Then went home.

Took a shower.
And went to sleep...

Raw Fish

Sushi 寿司, 鮨, 鮓

During the holidays, I went to Sushi King with a Malay friend.
I did all the eating...since he said that he couldn't eat sushi (non-Halal...go figure)

Anyway, I started covering my kappamaki 河童巻(that's the one filled with cucumber) with an unhealthy and potentially very dangerous amount of wasabi.

My friend watched curiously while I was doing all this
(he's never seen anyone eat sushi before...how sad)

So I took a bite, and after a 2-second pause, I began crying and wailing and burying my head in my hands.
Anyone who has eaten sushi with alot of wasabi before will know what I mean.
The feeling is similar to having your lungs forcibly removed through your nose. Morbid...

So I was totally high at the time. In Bahasa Malaysia we call that khayal.
My Malay friend just couldn't understand. He was like:

"Apa dengan kamu wei? Otak tak centre ke?"

"SAYA SEDANG MENERIMA WAHYU!!!" I screamed. XD

A Public Service Announcement

Attention to all 4th Formers of SMI:

If you have symptoms that include

-fever
-cough
-sore throat
-muscle aches
-conjunctivitis and/or
-breathing problems

please be aware that you are suffering from SUB (Stres Ujian Bulanan) and that this is a perfectly normal disease to be experiencing at this time

In such cases, preventive measures come in the form of studying and actually paying attention in class. If such measures were not taken in advance, SUB has proven fatal in many occasions.

Cheating is considered an experimental form of vaccination.
Should only be attempted by professionals


Haha.
Good luck in your exams everyone.

Click

When I settled down with my family to watch Click on TV a couple of weeks back, I expected some slap-stick comedy film with an uninspired script.

After all, it was a film about a universal remote control that could control...the universe

LAME

What I got was something completely different.
The comedic value of this movie was way above expectation.

But towards the middle part, the message that this movie portrayed was both meaningful and very touching.
Almost cried towards the end.

Adam Sandler has been doing some good movies.
50 first dates was another decent movie.


Anyway, I won't spoil it for you by telling you what happened.
But I highly recommend this movie.

Just one more thing:

***SPOILER WARNING***

A Baptism of Fire

I set a new personal achievement today:
SCORED A 3-POINTER IN BASKETBALL...TWICE...IN A ROW!!

Which I have never done before in my life
(Gawd. I hate myself)

...


Anyway, it happened just after one of my 'friends' said he would cut his balls off, if I made the shot. And I did. LAWL

But he challenged me to do it again, saying:

"If you can...I will definitely, 100%, cut my balls off...immediately"

And I also succeeded the second time.
I can't remember who was more surprised.
Me or him.

For those of you who don't know, I'm kinda (in)famous in my school for being one of the worst basketball players in my year.

Okay. So that was a LOL moment for me. In the end he didn't cut his balls off...probably because he didn't have any.

*cough*

Anyway, we had a photo taking session for our Michaelian Christian Fellowship today.
About half the people there had never attended any of our functions, meetings or morning prayers before.
And another handful weren't even Christians...just random people skipping class.

So quite honestly...that photo session was one of our most successful evangelistic events ever.

Haha

Alive

Report card day was today.
It wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be.
After all, I'm still alive...

But I was amazed at my class's intelligence network.
We all knew whose parents were here before they even reached the first floor.
Early warning system. LOL

Some students and myself were listening in on the conversations between our class teacher (Pn. Komathi) and the parents. So we started building a character profile and deciding on strategies on how to deal with her. Each student was required to give a brief report to us before leaving with his parents.

Teacher's comments to my parents (as I remember it):

"Your son is not serious in class"
(OH SHIT!)

"But he can get good grades if he wants to"
(whatever...)

"He has the brains and the talent to do it, I'm sure he can do well if he wants"
(Okay. Getting better...)

But don't worry, he's better than alot of other students
(LMAO. Better and better...)

And I'm sure some students disturb him in class. Right or not?
(I said NO...not willing to betray my friends)

In the end, my parents were kinda pleased.

At least she didn't mention that I talk too much.
Every teacher has been saying that to my parents since kindergarten.
So my parents took it as a good sign.

But my dad wasn't too happy about my Add Maths results

Idiot-proof

I have to say, I'm very disappointed in my classmates...

This whole bloody mess started when I fell asleep during BM,
since the teacher was absent that day.

I was so damn tired that I slept through 2 periods...and didn't realize that the whole class had moved to the Physics lab, leaving me and Samuel Lopez(who was also sleeping) behind.

Nobody bothered to wake me up...

When Sam woke me up, it was actually already halfway through the period
(and our physics teacher is my school's (in)famous discipline master...Mr. Chong)

We actually grabbed our stuff and started jogging towards the physics lab when I had a sudden flash of inspiration.

So, I called all the school debaters from all over the school and got them to agree that we should hold an immediate practise session for our Law Olympiad on the 11th.

Being the lazy asses that we are...everyone readily agreed.
And we got 2 other discipline masters to sign our permission slip
(both are the teacher advisers for the Debate team)

Unfortunately, this strategy didn't account for Samuel, so I told him to go back to class and wait it out (SORRY SAM!!)

Mr. Chong caught me as I was leaving school.
I had the perfect alibi - which included 9 debaters and 2 discipline teachers.

Sleeping Beauty

EVERYONE WENT!!!
From my Schoolmates to my Church friends to my Chess buddies.
My old love interests were also there *ahem*

Met some old friends that I haven't seen for a year(s)
Ainaa Shafinaz, Gary Tan and Chan Wei Shin were among them

Kirsten from my Youth picked me up, along with Debbie, Kai Bing and Rachel.

I actually hoped to walk into the hall with them.
You know...one guy and four girls.
The whole thorn among the roses kinda thing.
(which would have been cool...)

Didn't happen.
I looked down at my shoes for three seconds...and they were already halfway across the parking lot (maybe they were on to me?)

I was also seriously overdressed.
I actually wore the shirt I intended for the Prom, which I heard kinda sucked. Lucky me

To be honest, I only really enjoyed the earlier parts of the ballet, namely the Malay/Ballet fusion thingy, which was pretty imaginative...reminds me of SMC's TradiMode

and

Ooh ee ooh ah ah
(Witch Doctor...XD)

Anyway, the dancing for Sleeping Beauty was just okay...
The segments were too long, so I kinda lost concentration halfway
The girls were hot. The dresses were colourful. And the wicked fairy was A GUY!
(Charles Pooley, who's a director at Hairforce Saloon and Academy. He did my hair once)

Oh yeah
Something else happened that night...which is kinda personal for me and the person/people involved.

The night ended after supper with Kirsten and the girls at the Stadium foodcourt. Others from the ballet were also there

No photos this time

Selamat Hari Guru

Since we didn't get to celebrate Teacher's Day, our class monitor collected RM2 from us to get a gift for our class teacher (at least)

Being concerned tax payers, some of my classmates and I organized a sort of committee to decide on how our money would be best spent

A small part of the conversation is as follows:

AD: So hey, what do ya'll wanna get for our class teacher?

CK: a pencil box

MS: or just the pencils...

AT: too expensive lah!

CK: then...?

MS: we should give her the same present as Karpal Singh

AT: what's that?

MS: live bullets

LOL

AD: How about a pen?

MS: we could find a broken one on the floor and put it together with cello-tape and rubber bands

CK: or send her a card lah

AT: saying "Teacher, I hate you!"

CK: So bad lah...


I actually just wanted my money back...
