Names are irrelevant

Hell, it's about time.

2011-05-17T05:22:00.003+08:00

I personally have not been updating at ALL for the past year or so, and I kinda feel like I should. This blog kind of means something to me, I think! Short update: Imperial is hell, pretty much THE definition of hell, exams in 2 weeks, my life is a wreck, etc. On the plus side, Thorzain beat Naniwa 4-3 in TSL3 finals. Most incredible games!

Also, I hate people that are innately very good-looking. Curse your genetics! My only cure is cosmetic surgery I guess :(

It's time.

2010-09-24T00:32:00.000+08:00

Soon, I will leave this beautiful country of Brunei Darussalam and head off to the strange new land of the United Kingdom, where I shall reside for the following 4 years.

The things I will miss most, are the things I love and cherish the most.

:(

It's been a while..

2010-07-27T17:24:00.002+08:00

It's been almost 3 months since I last blogged.. Ah, the days, how fast they've gone. What have I been up to? Let's recap: 1) Exams, 2) Melbourne Trip, 3) Farewells

Yes, yes, 1) is a pain the arse, but a "necessary" evil if you must. I'm mostly worried about my further maths, and reasonably comfortable with the rest of them, bar psychology. I just fucked up that paper so bad. Sigh. Ah well, whatever the case, I'll presume I can get enough points off the mark scheme for a B.

As for the Melbourne trip, it was very extrinsically pleasing, but not very intrinsically satisfying. I sort of regret going to Melbourne. Really, after hearing what happened at second prom, I should have skipped Melbourne in favour of DRINKING! YES! Drinking. A good ol' past time of people. :>

Finally, farewells.. A lot of people come and go, sometimes it's easier to say goodbye than hello, but not all the time. Some people I know and cherish quite well are leaving for their universities in Australia, or USA, or whatever country they're going to. Quite upsetting actually since most of the people I've said my goodbyes to, I'm quite close with. Tomorrow, JA is leaving. A few days ago, JarJar, and before that, Steven Tan, and before that, Jason Lew. Sad, it is, but forgotten, they shall not be.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately..

2010-05-09T22:24:00.002+08:00

About my past, my present and my future. I've always wondered whether anything was worth doing for. Whether I'm actually making a difference. And in the end, I come to the cold truth that no one really gives a shit. How many times I've done things for people only to be depreciated in the future for it. I've managed to hold back, and say "well, they're people.. they use you, they abuse you and then they dispose of you". Sad to say, despite knowing these, I still help people. Maybe one day my efforts will not be in vain.

On the slightly-less-depressing side of things, there have been some Korean songs that I've been listening to that I gotta say I think are pretty great:

U-KISS - I Like You

f(x) - NU ABO

You know there's an old saying or something that goes along the line of "it's better to try and be disdained than not try and have regret".. As a person, I can honestly say that is a load of crap. Clearly whoever said that did not consider the implications on the sociological construct, the implications and the adverse consequences beneath it. I've always been a fan of the 'tried, tested and proven' method.. Never a 'let's hope and if it works, YAY, if it doesn't work, FML' method because it just doesn't work. At least, not for me. I may have given up on the whole of humanity, but I've not given up on individuals. I've actually been having a good chat with some of my friends, and one of my old friends, Steven.

I need to have another long philosophical conservation with my good ol' nerd friends. It's been such a long time since I've had an intellectual conversation that honestly stimulated my way of thinking. (sup yongbo, nat, steven I'm talking to you guys) Although I'm pretty sure this blog is dead, there may be occasional updates.. Prom is in 6 days.. Should I be happy about it? I haven't asked anyone out. Don't know if I should.. I did plan on asking a few people, but meh. None of the people I really wanted to ask are going. I'll ask whoever I can I guess. For the sake of it. It's my last year, who gives a shit what happens after. I've messed up a few of my relationships with former friends, what's one more messed up relationship going to add to?

The equation of the common "heart"

2010-04-13T21:40:00.004+08:00

So I was bored today, despite me supposed to be studying, I always wondered if the "heart shape" had an equation.. Guess what? After 5 seconds of googling, and more seconds spent fiddling with available graph drawing software I have, I created myself a heart :*)

This is the link I'm talking about. There are plenty.. The two that interest me most are the standard x-y and polar equation. :*)

and

ANGER.

2010-03-31T15:39:00.002+08:00

I have a lot of anger issues, I realise, but what I'm more appalled by is the amount of sheer ignorance that goes on these days about mental illness. When someone feels down, the first thing people say is "grow a pair" instead of asking if said person is alright. Clinical depression is real, you fucking pricks. Don't believe me? Go read studies on it; it's biological in nature and is maintained by the environment and individual. Some people are lucky - their disorders are not that bad; for instance I would not classify dyslexia as a serious mental disorder.

However, things like depression, schizophrenia are not things to give a brief moment of thought and then promptly ignore. What makes things worse is the way people treat truly depression people - there are lot of suicide cases in the world as a result of this.

I guess ignorance truly is bliss, eh?

Tonsils

2010-03-17T17:18:00.001+08:00

...are a useless part of the human anatomy! I need to get mine removed.

This tonsillitis thing is extremely irritating, it's not even funny. I'll probably remove it during the holidays.

LOL EXAMS

2010-02-02T21:39:00.000+08:00

..are done

and now the mass amount of tests await

also i'm quite surprised at my predicted grades I'll be using for UCAS. didn't think any teachers thought highly of me :/

New skin

2010-01-08T20:04:00.003+08:00

No, it has nothing to do with the New Year or anything. I just wanted a skin where I could type LOTS of text and not make it seem like gigantic walls of text as well as using a skin where I could post full-sized YouTube vids up instead of having to shrink them myself[/sigh].

Anyway, other reason is that I need to post this:

11/1/10 - Mechanics 2 @ 17:00
13/1/10 - Physics 1 @ 17:00
15/1/10 - C4 Maths @ 17:00
15/1/10 - Numerical Methods @ 21:00
20/1/10 - Further Pure 1 @ 19:00
20/1/10 - C3 Maths @ 21:00

How fun. Yes, I am resitting physics 1 cause I'm a noob and was 1 mark off an A. sigh. C3/4 resits for A* cause I'm a nerd etc.

Well w/e back to M2 for me. FML.

fuck you all

2009-12-29T14:08:00.000+08:00

humanity is overrated.

Of awesome Cowgirls and Butt dances

2009-11-22T20:32:00.006+08:00

Brown Eyed Girls - Candy Man

Kara - Mister

What? You can't blame me for liking girls :3 Also butt dance kicks ass. :DDDDD

RIP Sniffles

2009-10-04T18:15:00.004+08:00

Today marks the day of the passing of a great friend.

For those who do not know, there was recently a birth of 2 puppies in my neighbourhood. Sadly, they were strays although I'd really wish I could adopt them. I gave both of them names: Sniffles and Rollies(yeah pretty dumb names, I know, but I don't give a fuck).

When I was walking my dog today, I saw the neighbour, who took care of the puppies and some stray dogs, digging a hole in his garden. Then a while later I saw him carry a lifeless body of a black puppy. There was only one: Sniffles. Rollies was with me and my dog momentarily before she went back home, but I had no sight of Sniffles today and I now know why.

Both the puppies were very young, 3-4 months tops and I feel quite saddened that such a young animal has died. I don't know why she(Rollies) died yet, but I will probably find out tomorrow.

Until then, RIP Sniffles. I'll miss you : ( She was a great friend to me and my dog(although sometimes my dog disagreed with that) and was such a lively puppy. Goodbye, Sniffles.

R. I. P.

So Nyuh Shi Dae!

2009-08-16T23:12:00.003+08:00

Ah, watching some of the performances by these girls are awesome.

SNSD - Genie(Tell Me Your Wish). Great song ;) Great performance by the lovely nine ladies too.

Awesome Yul doin' her stuff and dancing and her legendary baseball pose. Haha.

This part of the interview made me sad DEEP INSIDE. Really.

Poor Tiff. This vid just shows that these girls are as real as girls can be and they're just down to earth. Such lovely girls, if you ask me. And no, it's not just cause I'm a guy and think they're all gorgeous(well, this is true, but it isn't why they're awesome). If you see them off-stage and in some of those TV shows, they can be really lively and awesome. Sadly, the only channel in Brunei that airs Korean stuff is 303 on Astro and that's very mediocre Z_Z Although they are some pretty cool stuff like Musicbank and stuff if you catch it. : D

SNSD Fighting!

Yu Ri-YoonA-SeoHyun-SooYoung-HyoYeon-TaeYeon-Tiffany-Jessica-Sunny fighting !!

N.B: They also did a Hollerback Cover(originally performed by Gwen Stefani) here and it seemed far better when they covered it than originally performed by gwenny. hahahaha. SNSD :)

The holidays have begun and the darkness has set upon us.

Uh, what I meant was, I'd stay up until 2 - 3 AM playing games. Wow I'm awesome, eh?

Actually, there's not much to do during the hols. Just waiting for my driving teacher so I can do my practical lessons and then drive(yay!) and also just playing games, watching replays.

Other than that, my life is pretty stale.

Went out with Dona, Farah and Iqra last week on Friday, a couple of days before Dona went off to the UK. The Korean/Japanese restaurant, "Pines Restaurant", is pretty good and the dessert place we went to, "Snow", was really interesting as well.

Till next time! Maybe I'll add a philosophical post or something next time =.=.

Today marks a day of mourning

2009-06-27T00:28:00.002+08:00

Michael Jackson has just died today.

I find it quite saddening that all great musicians die early(Jimi Hendrix, Cliff Burton, Elvis and now MJ). It is such a pity. It's so hard to find good music nowadays. Most shit on TV suck monkey balls.

RIP MJ, legendary king of pop.

Yes, this is a birthday post.

Happy birthday to one of the nerdiest and most pedantic guys I have ever known,

i.e. Nathaniel Ting Han Chien

LAWWWWWWL!

Breathing a sigh of relief

2009-05-24T18:44:00.002+08:00

Finally - I have some form of break before the rest of my exams.

I gotta say I'm not sure if I can do well anymore at this point :/ I think Maths C1 and C2 were easy as hell but after doing the papers I realised I made really dumb mistakes. e.g. h*h = 9h^2. Ah, well. Screw it.

Computing was pretty easy, both papers, I'd say. Paper 2 was a bit tricky, but wasn't impossible. Paper 1 was easy as hell.

As for Physics 1.. well.. I think I did well, but I'm not sure. A lot of people said it was easy, but I doubt it. Anyway, other than that, English 1 was.. well. lol. I honestly can say English is nothing but a bunch of subjective hogwash. I don't understand how people can make conclusions based off a simple text. -.-' English 2 wasn't so bad, but I don't know. I felt like I collapsed during it. For the record, during my English 2 paper, I had 2 other papers to do too.

As for Psychology, Paper 1 was quite tricky, but paper 2 was pretty easy. I just gotta wait for the results I suppose before I can make any decent conclusions about these papers.

C3, C4, D1, S1, M1 and Physics 2 to go. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

/sarcasm

Don't Say A Word?

2009-05-13T21:14:00.001+08:00

Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

No idea what that second word means but it sounds cool. Anyway, it's Ame's 18th today.

Happy birthday Ame : )

18th on the 18th

2009-04-18T13:01:00.002+08:00

How splendid! An 18th birthday on the 18th day.

Happy birthday Lys : )

Friends4lyf.

(lack of pics LOL)

:!:

2009-04-15T19:04:00.000+08:00

So. In spite of doing my piles of math homework(which I should be doing LOL), I am instead pondering.

Anette Olzon. Or Kwon Yuri? : ( It's so hard to decide. Of course people who have read my blogs in the past before have probably heard of Anette Olzon, but here's Kwon Yuri... of Girls' Generation!(as well as the other 8 girls :D:D:D:D:D)

A better pic:

Now here's the great Anette Olzon who I pretty much put on a pedestal above every other woman(before):

The ultimate question: Which of the two girls above is the better one? :(?!

LOL

2009-04-09T19:24:00.000+08:00

I'm on a ROLL today with this paint magic.

HERE'S MOAR AWESOME COOL SHIT:

I'm sure many of you recognise this photo, if not, it was part of a photo taken by Ruby during Gary's farewell party. I know she doesn't read this blog but anyway she's the best! : D

So, I was bored

2009-04-09T19:05:00.000+08:00

..today. After finishing the mocks yesterday, I decided to take the rest of this schooling week not doing any homework till the weekend. I deserve it!

: D

In other news, never put me, paint and a strange imagination together:

I was thinking: How would I look like with a beard/moustache/sideburns or ALL THREE?!

FUCK YES!

Paint owns.

The original picture is courtesy of Nathaniel though. It was the only one I found where I didn't dodge the camera. Or at least had a decent sized face in it. LOL

And the rest of it..

2009-04-05T13:44:00.000+08:00

Lawl the pics. They are inclusive of me! Actually I don't do this at ALL but because this new graphics card was so fuckin' awesome, I decided it was well worth it.

Australia!

2009-03-26T16:36:00.000+08:00

You know, if there's one thing I like when my family goes over to Australia is that I always return with stuff. Here's the one I waited anxiously for:

Can't identify it? It's okay, most people probably won't if they aren't well-versed in computer stuff. This, my friends, is a HD 4870, considered the best bargain for graphics cards at the moment. I'm enjoying it every second even if I don't play 24/7 simply because it is so powerful and affordable. Playing RA3 on ultra high settings has never been more graphically awesome!

WOOT !

P.S.: Will probably start posting more/including more pics when I have the time. D:
