Hello there!

3 things I'm gonna talk about today: 1. Transformers. 2. Major crises of the MYE period. (Yes I spelt it correctly, that's plural for crisis) and 3. People who look like people we know.

Thing number 1: Transformers. I WANT TO WATCH TRANSFORMERS : DARK OF THE MOON.

Now, a little backstory.
I remember when the first Transformers movie was announced. Now, Transformers are something I grew up with, and they're the freaking baddest-ass things ever. I had the toys. I watched the cartoon as a kid. I even followed that freaking ace (albeit pretty badly animated by today's standards) 3D show called Beast Wars (how freaking epic a name is that?) based around the Transformers universe.


How badass is that name!? MAXIMAL OPTIMUS FREAKING PRIMAL SHIT.

Well, to put it simply, I absolutely love the Transformers series. And I absolutely adore Optimus Prime. He's one of my top 3 greatest heroes of all time, next to Spider-Man (cause he so damn disiao when he fights those supervillains) and Lee Kuan Yew (cause he so damn disiao when he fights those Malaysians).

What I'm trying to say is that I'd expected the movie to ruin my perception of how awesome Transformers were. I was thinking that Michael Bay had taken one of my favourite transforms-into-a-goddamn-truck heroes and turned him into a gay robot that zaps people in the crotch.


An image which was surprisingly easy to find.

I was preparing myself to have my childhood dreams beaten and mutilate- HOLY SHIT.


Fun fact: I literally squealed when I saw Movie-Optimus Prime for the first time in the trailers.

OH MY WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED. OPTIMUS HAD BEEN DONE JUSTICE. Because he has flame decals. And as we all know, everything becomes better when there's fire involved.


The obvious choice to one of childhood's most life-changing decisions.

And when I actually saw the movie. Oh my goodness gracious me. It was so damn COOL. I don't really have a word to describe it. It just is awesome. I sat through the movie with my mouth agape from all the crazy shit going on - the image of my hero tearing shit up with that arm blade, the sound of metal crushing metal - oh goodness, the sound. The sound of the transformations. OH MY GOODNESS. That "EEH-OOH-AAH-EEH-UUH" noise should be in everyday life.

"Yeah, this is both a couch and a bed! See, all you do is pull this lever and- *EEH-OOH-AAH-EEH-UUH* now it's a bed!"

"Okay, bread goes in... *EEH-OOH-AAH-EEH-UUH* And toast comes out."


"Don't worry Mr Smith, you won't hurt one bit during the sex change operation... *EEH-OOH-AAH-EEH-OOH* Well hello there Ms Smith!*

Which is why I need to watch Dark Of The Moon NOW but I have no friends to watch it with. :/


2. Major Crises of the MYE period.

Crisis a) Look at this.


Looks familiar, doesn't it?

Yeah. This was on the morning of the chem paper. I didn't sleep that night again. You see, after the econs paperthe day before, I got home at 5plus. Then I slept all the way till 12. That's 7 hours of sleep. OKAY CAN.

I expected to really get raped bad by the chem paper. But it turned out surprisingly doable.


Yeah right.

It was so ridiculously difficult that everyone found humour in its sheer ridiculosity. The chem paper day was the day all Meridians became family. We all joined hands and hearts in the knowing that we were screwed together.

One notable moment for me was the blood alcohol question. I remember seeing people turning to that page with all that text (it can't be counted as cheating since there's nothing to copy - almost everyone left blanks LIKE DUH) and hearing them mutter "what the f***." Can't be that bad, I figured. Then I turned to that question. Then I heard myself saying instinctively.



"What the f***."




I like my answer to the last part of that question though, caps and bolding included.


"THE MAN WAS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL AND WAS FLOUTING THE LAW!"

Anyway it doesn't matter anymore since we all know we're gonna get U, babe.

CRISIS RESOLVED.

Crisis b) EoM.

Owed it since the 12th of June, completed it today while waiting for the Physics kids to finish their paper.


HELL YEAH CRISIS RESOLVED.

Crisis c) I have nothing to do. #foreveralone

I've been waiting for the four days of holiday ever since the beginning of the holidays. Now that the four days are here, WHY DO I HAVE NOTHING TO DO!?

Do me a favour, call me out please.

CRISIS UNRESOLVED. ):

Today is an example. I waited 2plus hours for my friends, then had weepin find me. ONLY WEEPIN. All my other friends were busy. LIKE YOU LA WILFRED I MISS YOU SO MUCH THEN YOU GO WHAT FUNFESTIQUE THEN WHAT HOUSE THEN WHAT BARBEQUE although I don't really blame you actually HAHAHAHA. So don't go around feeling all guilty. THOUGH YOU SECRETLY SHOULD HAHAHA.

Then stayed in school with Darren and Edert and Chin Yue and Wee Pin in school till like 8 plus. What we did:



Play with scooters,



As if you didn't know what it was.

Play Geometry Wars,


I bet you have no idea what's goin on in this picture.

and do other extreme things.


I kind of wish this photo was real.

Okay actually today was quite alright HAHAHA.

BUT I STILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO FOR THE FOUR DAYS.


CRISIS STILL UNRESOLVED (CURRENTLY). ):

Thing the 3rd : People who look like people we know.



THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT HWEE MIN WTF RIGHT.


That will be all for today.


Here's a bonus!




What about it, you ask?



HAHA K SORRY NICOLE LOVE YOU LOADS SORRY.



You've got my mind stuck on just one or two things, and that's you or you and me.

Oh noes.

Totally gonna die for chemistry. Must tank MCQ already hahaha.

I don't really have much to blog about, since I didn't do anything particularly interesting today. I'll usually only blog if I do something noteworthy hahaha.

I looked through my dead old blog just now. Nostalgia trip for me. It was a different time haha.

I wonder how much I've changed since those years in Temasek. Here's the link if anyone wants to take a look. I don't think many people will understand what's going on though HAHAHA.

http://insert-emo-blogname-here.blogspot.com/

OKAY CHEM NOW.

And of course this post wouldn't be complete if there wasn't a peekchur.



Take my hand and I'll take you there.

48 hours is longer than it sounds.

What a long 2 days it has been.
Yes, I didn't sleep last night. (The shocking starter line has been delivered! You all may begin with your shocked expressions and gasps.)


Like so.

Yeah, I know that we had our maths paper today. But I'll move on to that later. Since you guys are obviously itching to know why I hadn't slept, I'll start from the beginning.

<<3:00pm 26/June/2011>>
Woke up. Was supposed to study math.

I was thinking "I'll start math right after I bathe." So I bathed, and I slacked aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way till 7 plus.

I was thinking "I'll do my math revision after dinner." Then I watched Get Smart, cause it's one funny-ass movie.


It was a funny-ass movie, and this is a bad visual pun.


That went on till 9.

I was thinking "Okay, Get Smart's over now, time to do work!" Then crimewatch was on and it was quite interesting HAHAHAHA. So I watched it till 9.30.

I was thinking "NO MORE DISTRACTIONS, IT'S JUST YOU, MATH, AND ME, WEILUN, AND I'M GOING TO CONQ- oh shit EoM due tomorrow." So I got my laptop out.

I was thinking "Okay gonna do EoM then gonna do math straight away after that!" Then I logged on to Facebook and Twitter. Then people started talking to me on FBchat, and the tweets were getting more interesting by the moment. This went on till 12am. The EoM was never done.

SO it was at 12 did I start revising my maths! If you think about it. 9 hours of potential studying time that I could've utilised. NOT LIKE I FEEL ANY LOSS HAHAHA.

I need to make a T-shirt to commemorate my highly advanced levels of procrastination skill.


And this would be that shirt.

So I started studying math. Nothing much happened in between, besides the sudden realisation that I should've listened or at least copied the notes down during lectures HAHAHAHA.

By the time I was done it was already about 3.45.

I was thinking "Okay I should fall asleep at about 4 and since I'll wake up at 6 I have 2hours of sleep. That's enough for me."

I fell asleep at I DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP.

So I stoned in my bed for a while. Then I needed to pee so I went to the kitchen and saw this.


Oh you've got to be kidding me.

I had half an hour left to sleep. MIGHT AS WELL NOT SLEEP RIGHT. So that's what I did. I needed fuel for the day though. So I grabbed a bottle of essence of fish (IT'S DELICIOUS) for later use and raided my pantry for coffee.

I found this.


You know, I'd never figured out what are the 3 things they'd put into 1.

MILD!? I'm some mega large boy and you expect me to be able to go to an exam without any sleep and only MILD STRENGTH? So I did the sensible thing.


Take 2 lah.

SO HERE WAS MY CUPPA JOE.


Mmmm, caffeine!

But I needed to get the coffee to not only keep me running throughout the day, but also as a wake-up jolt!



May not seem like much, but this was at 5.30 in the morning HAHAHA.

OFF TO SCHOOL I WENT THEN. The whole morning was such a surreal experience for me. Everything seemed to go slower. Lights left trails as I walked. My vision was constantly blurring and sharpening, like some kind of video camera with really crazy-ass autofocussing.


CRAZY ASS, GEDDIT????

And I wasn't the only one suffering from exams-make-you-kinda-siao syndrome. Edbert was freaking weird this morning hahaha. Laughing at all sorts of stupid things. Darren Chia looked completely dead and was his trademark shade of red the whole time. And I felt SUPER ENERGETIC.

So when the bell had rung, the anthem had been sung, we were dismissed to our venues and the carnage had begun. We walked into our exam venues in a state that I can confidently say described most of us this morning: Mentally prepared, academically naked.

Went for math paper, got raped, shan't talk about it.

After math paper I went to the Chinese rice stall with Edbert, Fred, Leon and Weepin to get our "weilun specials". Yes, I have a dish named after me! Sort of. You see, I order this certain combination of ingredients so often that the uncle has memorised it, coupled with the fact that that's all I'll order from him really. YOU GUYS SHOULD TRY IT OUT. It's $3.80 but it's REALLY satisfying. Just go to the uncle and ask for a weilun special. I'm not joking. If I'm not wrong even when I'm not around, Leon Fred and Pin ask for a weilun special to get that certain combination of ingredients.

Hadn't eaten it in so long, man was it fulfilling. Except for Edbert who was too scared to order a weilun special.


You can see Edbert's loser combination in the top right. The rest are all weilun specials.

TRY IT SERIOUS.


Leom couldn't finish his though so we played black and white to determine who would eat the remainders. WILFRED LOST 6 TIMES HAHAHA. Fred if you're reading this it's because Bert Pin and I pakat one HAHAHAHAHA.


Then went to Pin's house to study. ACHIEVED NOTHING THERE.

Notable things done:
-Listened to that screamo cover of Taylor Swift's Love Story.
-Watched the 9 o'clock show last episode. (Why do people always call these shows "The 7 o'clock show" or "The 9 o'clock show" ah. ALSO DOES ANYONE REMEBER THAT SUPER NICE SHOW IN 2008 WITH LI NANXING INSIDE. Got Fiona Xie and Felicia Chin inside also I think! Huang Jin Lu or The Golden Path or something. The must watch 9 o'clock show of that time. DAMN THAT WAS ACE.
-Discover that Leon had actually seen and "known" Wee Pin before coming to MJ in some MAJOR SCREWED UP web of connection that we discovered due to a super long chain of events that led to an amazing coincidence that led to said discovery. o_o

- Met Wee Pin's pet bunny whose name is Rino, pronounced like Rhino, who's female. :o Also when Pin told me her name was Rino (Which at the time I assumed was actually spelt Rhino) I immediately thought of this.

Elegant.

After that came home.

On a completely random note, here's a short story. We were in Wee Pin's air-con room, and he said his feet were cold. Now look at this picture.



That's a lighter he's holding under his foot. He actually used a lighter's flame to warm his foot up. That's some crazy-ass shit going on here.


Yup. That's some crazy-ass shit.

Okay I'll stop.

Step outside and say hello to my beautiful world.

When life gives you an orange juice carton...

Make an orange juice carton wallet!

Yes, because I cannot get myself to worry for MYE's, I made a carton wallet instead! So I went across to my local supermarket and grabbed myself a carton of Florida's Natural, cause it rocks.

Here's a picture of me getting the carton. I'm on the right!


It's that fresh.


I needed an empty carton, and I definitely wasn't gonna pour all that orange juice down the sink. So (Warning to you guys. Don't drink a whole carton of orange juice in one go. It'll make you LAO SAI. ).

Guess what I did.






That's right, with that warning in mind, I SHARED IT WITH MY FAMILY! :D Yay. Now to actually make the damn thing!


OKAY. I guess this'll be a tutorial for all you carton wallet enthusiasts out there who wanna make one for themselves but have no idea how to. SO. First you're gonna need your empty carton (duh), the carton wallet template (just google carton wallet template and print it out), some toilet paper to remove any moisture from your carton, a pen/marker/pencil, some tape and scissors. Also, some relaxing music to set the mood. Can't put that in a picture though.


I have no witty caption for this picture.


Today I have helpers with me too! Meet my Bionicles. I have forgotten their character names so I shall call them Jack and John.


John says hi!

So you're gonna want to cut your carton out like so. Make sure that when you cut the carton, the side with the cap has two other sides next to it! If not then you're screwed. The placement of the bottom flap doesn't make a difference.


Jack's lying down on the side with the cap. As you can see, it has two other sides connected to it.

Next, download the template off the net. Print and cut it out.


I just realized that it's vaguely shaped like a dick. John seems to like that. Hmm.

Then use some tape and attach the template to your carton. Make sure that it's lined up properly! As you can see there's a grey hole near the bottom of the template in the above picture. That's supposed to line up with the spout of your carton.


Like this.
Jack's having fun on the tape dispenser!

After that, use your pen/pencil/marker to trace out the template.


Woah, John, control yourself.

You might also want to trace along the dotted lines with the edge of a ruler or something so that you know where to fold the carton when you remove the template. I used one of those pimple popping things which happened to be in reach.


Are they... kissing!? And why are their masks gone?

Next remove the template and grab your pair of scissors cause it's time to cut!


These boys just can't control themselves.

Fold along the dotted lines once you've got your wallet cut out.


Toy robot 69!?

At this point in time I figured that the hole that's supposed to latch on to the spout'll be pretty torn after some use, so I reinforced it with some tape.



This is what it looks like from the inside.


It's barely even visible from thou outside. I used transparent tape, in case you didn't realise by now.

Now you've got to fold what I fondly call "the accordion fold" on the semicircles. Here's an accordion for you people out there who happen to not know what an accordian is.


Now that's one badass flaming accordion.

You get the idea. It's a real bitch to fold properly though, since the carton already has its own folds and you're supposed to "override" those folds. Not to mention the carton material being so damn hard to fold.

When you're done it should look like this!


Sorry about the bad lighting.

And that's it! Unless you're me, of course.

Because I'm a genius, I totally added a coin compartment mod. Hell yeah!


Kinda looks like an uninterested face too.

NOW
it's done! I now have a place to put my coins so I don't lose them amidst all the notes.


Absolute brilliance.


The final product.

I'm quite satisfied with myself really. I didn't think it'd work out but surprisingly it did! So what're you waiting for, go make your own now! Actually. You guys can ask me to help you make! It's quite fun hahaha. You have to provide me with the carton though.

OKAY HAVE FUN.



What am I supposed to do now that the love is gone?

Nostalgia.

Slept at 6.10 am, woke up at 9plus. This is the part where once again you all scream "but why!?" at me.

Yep. That's what you're asking.

SWIMMING. And not with just anyone
.


Yes, we are that camwhorish.

Yeah. Been trying to plan a swimming session for so long. Too bad weepin and chinyue weren't there though. Them and their fun-filled lives. Tsk.

It brought back so many memories for me. You see, the first outing I ever had with weepin, Leon and Fred was a swimming session at my house. So that we could buck up on our swimmimg skills to get into paddlers' club. It was also the first time I really talked to Leon. It was so weird in theory. We barely knew each other, but by the end of that first swimming session we'd grown so much closer. That day we'd wrestled, almost drowned, cracked disgusting jokes (which Leon tried to refrain from doing today HAHAHAHA) and played Black Magic (also HAHAHAHA. "Is it Sandeep? No! Is it that lamp post? Yes!") And to top it all off on that day we had our first (and possibly only non-gay) bathing sexy paradise time. How far we've progressed from there.

ANYWAY. Today, though lacking the weepin and supposed chinyue, I still had good fun. Discovered the fun in underwater fighting, to say the least.


Because this is a completely accurate depiction of what we did.

Yeah. Had the obligatory bathing session, followed by obligatory camwhoring. This is my favourite picture of the day, because I look like a total douche in it.


WL between da' W and L, bitch.

HAHAHAHA I laugh everytime I see this photo. It's so bombasticallistic. After that we went to KFC to eat, which is TOTALLY what we did on that first swimming session too. Nostalgia much. Time has passed so fast. Our JC life is 1/4 gone. Unless you kena the 3-year programme in which case it's only 1/6 gone, but that's still a large fraction nonetheless. Ought to treasure our JC moments more.

Also, since we're complete idiots, we all ordered portions waaaaaay too large for us to handle.


Truth be told, we're sad only because the food is finite.

After that we parted our separate ways. Fred went home to study, Leon went to fish and I went home to sleep. I then woke up, went to ECP for dinner, came back and taught Fred how to TERRARIA. We then wasted our time creating swear words out of wood.


Aren't MYE's coming real soon?

And here I am now. I guess I'll end the post here.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
