And now it's official.

The title has more than one meaning eh actually hahaha.

I think this'll be a more wordy post than anything. More of a post made out of different fragments that I've yet to talk about. And I won't have many pictures to supplement them CAUSE VALERIE LIM BI JIA NEVER UPLOAD THE PHOTOS YET.

Fragment number 1: This song.



Boy is it one sexy-ass chillout song. You should listen to it while reading, it's so relaxing. Sorry the video a bit the gross though HAHAHA.

Fragment number 2: Leadership Investiture!

I wonder what the general MJ population's reaction to the investiture was like. Did they like the dance? Were they as excited as we were? Or were they playing Kart Rider? Or Tiny Tower? The answers are probably "Yeah it was cute!" and "Only if one of their close friends was a House Comm member: and "Like yeah duh" and "I had to restock".


iAddiction.


Fragment number 3: Kart Rider

It's a game that can ruin friendships. Not that I've lost any friends to it (yet) BUT THE NEXT PERSON THAT SENDS ME A DRAGONFLY/MAKES ME SLIP ON A BANANA/TURNS MY CONTROLS UPSIDEDOWN/BOOSTS PAST ME AT THE LAST MOMENT/ETC IS GONNA GET A PUNCH IN THE FACE.


And it was this icon that destroyed so many relationships.


Fragment 4: Harry Potter.

It's overrated.





HAHA SO MANY OF YOU WANNA COME KILL ME RIGHT. Relax, I'm just kidding. I may not be as big a fan as alot of others, BUT DAMN DO I WANNA WATCH THAT MOVIE. Also Harry Potter looks so happy in one of the posters! Here it is in Tanah Merah.


Say cheese!

He looks so cheerful! Maybe he should be called Happy Potter instead!




Fragment 5: FunFestique!

This event brought the House Comm closer honestly. Though I wonder what's gonna happen with all the competition going on. Wilfred and I played Badminton for Atlas today! DAYUM is badminton fun! It's so fun, they should call it goodminton!



Oh you're still alive?

Anyway, Wilfred and I played two matches. One match was against Phobos, whose team was made out of two badminton players. OBVIOUS LOSS. At least they were kind enough to give us face and not thrash us that badly. Thanks Yuxian and Darren! The other match was against two Tritonites whom I really don't know. They were pretty alright players. We lost to them after two sets of deuce though. BUT OH WELL WE HAD FUN WITH PLAYING ANYWAY.

And here's a theory I have regarding the quality of badminton. I've probably told this to like at least 20 people already though so PLEASE BEAR WITH ME IF I'D TOLD YOU ALREADY.


Yet another bad visual pun.

There are 3 kinds of Badminton players in the world.

The first kind are those that really suck. Like, really SUCK. These are usually the people most excited about playing badminton for some reason.

The second kind are those who are just insanely good. Like, set-the-shuttlecock-on-fire level of good.

The third kind consists of everyone else in the world. For some inexplicable reason, if you're not bad at badminton, but aren't particularly great either, you'll be at this standard of badminton playing that practically EVERYONE ELSE is at. Honestly, I figure that majority of the world stands at this standard.

So it's either you're bad, you're great, or you've pretty much the same proficiency as millions of other people.



And in other news, Wilfred and I will be playing again tomorrow along with all the other teams. So please show us your support! People've mentioned that it's really funny watching us play. I don't understand why they say so. Come see for yourself I guess!

Final fragment of the day: My goal in life.

I'm gonna study hard. I'm gonna do so well for my A's. I'm gonna get a scholarship in uni. I'm gonna get a bunch of degrees. I'm gonna work for the government. I'm gonna become a spy in the Singaporean Secret Service. I'm gonna get a license to kill. I'm gonna use the government's time machine to go back in time.

Then I'm gonna kill the guy who invented PW.


Toodles now!


I've got so much love to give.

Yes.

Here's a song. It's called Yes. It's by LMFAO, the guys who did Party Rock Anthem. I like it alot.
I suggest you listen to at least the first few seconds of the song to get an idea of what it's like.




I like the song so much that I did a cover of it.



I don't think it's very good though. But give it a chance, maybe you'll like it.

The song's incomplete in the video though. So I recorded the full song and made an mp3. You can listen to it below.



Click these words to download the mp3 if you want.

The above player might not play the full song, but rest assured the download link gives you the full song.

Yes, it's on and popping.

FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN, FUNFESTIQUE.

Good evening! A few things to talk about. Just two, actually. But this'll be a short post nonetheless.

First thing: FunFestique! Yes, FunFestique. I don't know if it's FunFestique or Funfestique. AS IF THAT MATTERS. As I write this, I'm supposed to help Wilfred do some admin stuff but I'm like half-ignoring him to write this HAHAHA. Wilfred if you're reading this don't be pekcek ah hahaha.

Anyway, I feel that FunFestique is really getting on all the House Comm people's nerves. Thursday night was spent in White Sands macs calling people to join the games. Callisto and Miranda were there too I'm sure. Atlas left at 11.00! LIKKA SIAO.


I don't know why but I find this picture damn ridiculous.

This afternoon was spent doing FunFestique stuff too. Met Wilfred and Siti at Macs again at about 3plus. Then the rest of the atlas house comm slowly made themselves present. We did all that stuff till about 7, then we left White Sands.

I think that all this is really bringing us closer together. I remember Edbert saying something about how happy he was when he saw us all working so hard on Thursday night. AND I AGREE! Like even though we're just walking into saikang.


For the uninformed, "saikang" means "shit hole".

Can't wait for FunFestique to be over though. The captains look so pekcek. :d

And about FunFestique again. I can't wait for the banner to be out! I heard that opinion's quite divided on the design of the banner. Some people like it, others think it sucks. And that makes me pretty damn sad. It's like the same feeling of having someone come up to you and telling you that he's ugly. It's like a kick in the balls to me. ):

Here's an interesting (maybe) fact. The banner design is actually an amalgamation of the two posters that you see around school as well as one of my draft posters. The Running Man poster is by me, while the Many People poster is by sili from the Callisto House Comm! I don't really have sili's poster though so I can't show you guys. ANYWAY SEE.

This,

The rejected poster which I like more honestly. ):

Plus this,

With the running men.

Equals this.

MANY RUNNING MEN.

As an added bonus, look at this. This is the original draft for a FunFestique poster. It was made waaaay back in May.


Can see how it's all connected right.

SECOND THING. CULTURAL PHENOMENON. AGAIN.


And I'm not even in it.


Even the authority has caught on.


PHENOMENON.

That will be all.

Everyday I see my dream.

Everyday is interesting when you know the people I do.

I'll blog about both yesterday and today.

Yesterday was house meeting day! In the morning. To be completely honest I was pretty damn nervous for it. It was the first Atlas house meeting we had with the J1 Atlasians. So many thoughts were going through my head!

"Will these people really respect us?"
"I wonder if they're listening."
"Was that attempt of a joke I just made too stupid for them?"
"I bet they're wondering why I'm the only one wearing the Atlas shirt while the rest are wearing Meridian leaders."
"I bet this shirt makes me look damn fat."

I can't really tell how well the meeting went though, so OKAY SURE.

Got back some results, total shit, as was the norm.

Interesting thing of the day was the perkcafe. Apparently when the doors are closed, the perkcafe becomes semi-soundproof. So a few house comm people and I were slacking around inside and we needed something to do, so a few of them took turns standing outside while we hurled possibly the MEANEST possible insults at them. Really personal stuff came out, and it was immensely entertaining to see the victim being oblivious to what was being said about him.

That's all for wednesday! Today's completely different.

Had GP in the morning.

I swear man, I've been blessed by the GP gods.

GP Paper 1 32/50 SIAO LIAO.


Fun fact: in case you didn't know already, "siao liao" literally means "crazy already"

The rest of the day was a standard day in the life of a Meridian. Had the leadership rehearsal thing. Played a super fun game called Ninja War that shuqi taught us! Basically you have to hit the palms of your opponents with your own to defeat them. Sounds simple, but it gets pretty damn crazy when you and your friends get good at it.


A typical ninja war game between two high-level players.

After that was the calling-people-up-for-FunFestique part. I met a few new people through the calling-people-up part HAHAHA. Anyway the process took up much more time than I'd have preferred it, and I took the train home with Siti, Leon and Valerie. By the time I got home (which is likka now) I felt completely dead. I don't have much to say honestly, I'm just so tired.

I THINK I'M LOSING MY SENSE OF HUMOUR OH NOEST. Oh well I shall just sleep then. I have dragon boating tomorrow anyway which'll confirm just shag-a-tronize me to the core.

What a short post this has been.

BONUS!!!


Oh yeah happy birthday again Chai! Though I honestly doubt you read my blog.



HAHA thanks ODAC girls for being so sporting!



Why do I find myself thinking about you more and more?

School's back on.

Like what the title says, school's back on.

THAT KIND OF SUCKS.

I guess since my days are gonna be less interesting, this blog'll take on a more traditional format.

I'll first recount my zoo trip though. I'll talk about the Sunday night steamboat when the pictures are up. VALERIE BIJ LIM PLEASE UPLOAD THE PHOTOS.

Like weepin said in his blog (http://chao-dar.blogspot.com Free advertising for you bro!) It's pretty damn hard to describe the outing to the zoo. It's one of those "you had to be there!" kind of things. But I had a pretty darn good time at the zoo that day. Looking at animals and balls and shit.

I swear man, animals have some of the craziest balls to ever exist.


I have nothing to say either.

And every animal there was just lepak-ing all over the place. Like. EVERY ANIMAL. Go the bird place. The birds just sit on the branch and lepak. Go the lion place. The lion just lie down there and lepak. Even the freaking FISH were all stoning. Imagine this damn huge fish at the bed of sand. It's not doing anything. It's not flapping its fins or anything. It's barely even breathing. It's just... there. And don't get me started on the primates.

'
Damn lepak.

That's all that's interesting really. Seeing all the animals devoid of energy. LIKE EVERY MERIDIAN TODAY.

Everyone looked so dead today. I could barely keep awake in class myself. FFGCC was pretty damn interesting though. I remember the last question that nobody could get right. Then that Mirandan guy who kept bombing answers was up, and he was looking for answers from the crowd.

"0.0322!" I shouted.

"Uh. 0.0322?" he said.

"AND THAT'S CORRECT!" announced the emcees.

HAHAHA DAMN FUNNY. Granted, weepin told me the answer earlier on since the question came out for his LT group's FFGCC. But for that one moment I bet that the half of the LT that heard me thought I was psychic HAHAHA.

The rest of the day sucked pretty badly. Like I said, I slept alot. Even during PW lecture. And my PW teacher was actually sitting next to me and was trying to nudge me awake. But I'm a heavy sleeper HAHAHA.

Towards the end of the day I met up with the Atlas House Comm to discuss for our house meeting tomorrow, which I am extremely nervous for. Haven't felt this nervous since, like. House Comm elections. That day when Wilfred and my stupid video came onto that screen, and when I sang that loser Rebecca Black spoof.

Random thought, we're already thinking about who to pick to be Atlasian OGLs HAHAHAHA.

Here's another random thing. Have you ever seen my facebook profile pictures? Most of the time they're me smiling with my hand behind my head, as if scratching it.


Much like this.

Actually I'd be delighted to see more people do this pose. It's damn fun HAHAHA. Like the next cultural phenomenon yo hahaha. And certainly not as dumb as planking! (Sorry plankers if I've offended you.)









If anyone reading this ever takes a picture with this pose, do tell me! Or tag me on facebook to the picture. I WILL LIKE IT ALOT.

Gotta go practice explaining the slides for tomorrow's house meeting with my dear Atlasians. I've been tasked to describe games whose names sound like horrible sexual innuendos. Good luck to myself for that man.

Buh-bye.



If you have a moment why don't we go talk about it somewhere only we know.

Four-day holiday: Part 2: Section A:Robots in disguise!

I just came back from watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Oh. My. GOD.

Actually for today I did more than just watch Transformers. I'd actually gone to the zoo! But I will talk about that another time in a more picture-heavy post. For now, I'll talk about Dark of the Moon. And in what better form is there to discuss a movie than in a review! Sure, it has the big budget, the over-the-top action and the some third thing which I can't think of right right now. But does it really hold its ground as a movie? Here's my COMPLETELY UNBIASED review! omg optimus prime is so hot.




Firstly and most importantly, the logo. When the title sequence came out for the movie, I immediately noticed this. It's shiny, much like the original logo sort of is, and we all like shiny things. It's a departure from the gritty feel of the first and second movie's titles, a departure that I appreciate very much, as if a homage to the original series. I also like the slightly sharpened font as compared to the previous movies' title fonts.



Notice how the logo for Dark of the Moon also shows a reflection of the moon. That's pretty damn smart, since the moon plays quite a big part for the first act of the film, plus it's also in the movie's name. Good job, advertising boys! All in all, I like this logo alot, and I give it a score of three million out of ten. Would've gotten four million if they'd included the Autobot insigna like the original did.

If any of you happened to know of Pink Floyd, which is a totally rad-ass band, you'd surely know of their hit album, The Dark Side Of The Moon. Here's the iconic album art.



Now imagine if they'd combined the two. That'd be the best possible logo anyone could ever conceive.


And it has been achieved.

Now on to the things that really matter. For instance, the story. I'll try not to spoil anything for all you people who have yet to watch it. It's pretty much about Sam whining his ass off for the first half of the movie, and metal grindin' action for the second. It escalates from a "oh we just found this item which may be the key to the plot of the whole film" kind of thing into something, much, much bigger.


Yet another bad visual pun.

The story for Dark of the Moon has two major plot twists. The first one happens pretty early in the film, and you probably'd seen it coming. The second plot twist is pretty mindblowing, and you'll wonder to yourself why you hadn't seen in coming. By the end, though, there are still some sub-plot holes left unplugged, and the ending isn't as satisfying as it could've been. It feels rushed, even.

But like I give a shit about the story. I came to see Optimus Prime tearing shit up, and that I did. Overall upon ten, I give the story a fish, because watching my hero gracing the silver screen and beating the crap out of other robots was my Prime objective.


See what I did there!?

Moving on to the direction of the movie. Dark of the Moon makes ample use of the cameraman-never-eat-enough shakey cam effect, which I absolutely love. It fits perfectly with the somewhat dark tone that the movie takes on, especially towards the latter half of the movie. The camera work is messy, confusing, and everything it should be if you were in the middle of a giant robot deathmatch. Shots are perfectly placed during the less hectic moments and epic scenes are accentuated by the excellent camera angles. As per all Michael Bay films, there's a gratituous and almost unnecessary number of explosions.


Hey dude, pull my finger! I think I'm gonna fart- BOOOOM

The sound direction is lacking, though. Save for a mere one or two commercial songs used, the music consisted mostly of loops from the main orchestral theme. Also, the trademark "EEH-OOH-AAH-EEH-UUH" transforming noise isn't as prominent as it was in the other films. I was very much disappointed with that. Sound effects, though, were sufficiently meaty and the lack of music during some fighting scenes added to the brutality of the action.

Also, I have no idea what I'm talking about so I'll give the direction a solid three thumbs up, though I only have two.


Though apparently a gifted few do have three.

Finally, the characters.

(What kind of review format is this man)

Six words. Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Optimus Ka-frigging Prime. Now that's just sexy.

I feel that Optimus Prime wasn't featured as much as he should be though, and I'm extremely unhappy about that. I don't want to see human drama with Sam and his job and what shit, I paid to see Optimus be his badass self. Also, Optimus is like a total pansy until the final scene. Like WTF. Not enough Optimus + Optimus acting like a n00b = that sucks. The final few scenes do proper justice to him though, and he kicks some serious metal ass.


This is the kind of crap I want to see.

That, and just look at this.


*drools*

She's just. So. Sexy. What with that British accent and her slight bucktooth thing going on. HOT DAMNNNNN SON. Rosie > Megan Fox ANY DAY. Plus there aren't any rumours about her being a man SO THAT'S GOOD.

Everyone else doesn't matter honestly.

Because I have no idea how to conclude my the characters, I'll just nod and say it's awesome.

*nods*

"It's awesome."

All in all, this is probably the best movie of the year so far, and for those of you who haven't watched it, do yourself a favour, get out from the underneath of that rock you're living in and go watch it NOW. GO.

You know, now that I've finally watched Transformers and I've gotten my Optimus Prime kicks, I don't think I have anything to look forward to for the next few yea-


Oh my goodness.



And now I'm just so disgusted I could puke.

Four-day holiday: Part 1: Fishing, worms, and food, oh my!

Today was a long and tiresome day.

I went to school at noon for a PW meeting with my PW teacher supposedly at 12. Also, PW SUCKS. HATE IT. PW, I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU SO MUCH. I don't usually hate things. And even for the things I hate, YOU, PW ARE THE THING I MOST PASSIONATELY HATE. You're so irritating.

Anyway, the PW meeting was, as I had mentioned, supposed to start at 12. THEN TEACHER BEGIN IT AT 12.50. The meeting lasted an hour, which is an hour too long honestly. !*?!@$# seriously. So I was late for my fishing trip.

FISHING TRIP OH MY.

So I went to Leon's house when the stupid !@#$ meeting ended and we then went to some boardwalk at Changi Village. By then it was about 4plus I figure? The weather was PERFECT PRAISE GOD.


Such a beautiful day.

So we got a fine spot and we started fishing. Or in weepin and my case, trying to fish. You see, we really really suck at it. We're about as useful with a fishing rod as a loaf of bread is. That's not very useful.

Not to mention our affinity with rocks. We kept getting our line stuck in the rocks. We didn't know how to properly pull the line out (Leon explained some technique to us but as if we were listening like that HAHAHA) so we did it the only way we knew how.


Because brute strength solves any problem.

You can't see the linee in the above picture, so you'll have to trust me on that, hahaha.

So went on this cycle of put bait, cast line, catch rock. We struck a particularly rocky rock and had to call Leon to help us get the line out.

... To which he proceeded to accidentally break our rod. Like, literally BREAK. SNAP INTO TWO. but the line didn't break, so our top half of the rod just slid down the line and into the sea HAHAHAHA.

BUT. Through sheer resilience and perseverance, we managed to get the line unstuck and got our only catch of the day: the top half of our rod!


LOOKS TASTY LET'S BARBEQUE IT.


What a majestic animal.

So our rod was broken. But that didn't stop weepin and I from enjoying the thrills of fishing!


Notice how the rod is only half the usual length.

We're crafty people, hahaha. If you're doing it wrong, pretend that you're doing it right.

All in all, the fishing was a few hours well spent/completely wasted. Well spent because it's a day with the bros, completely wasted because DUH.


Tsk, obviously.

When it reached nighttime and when nobody was loooking, we sat around playing with our long brown things.

Our worm-bait!


More fun than it looks.

HAHA I SHAN'T DETAIL WHAT WE DID CAUSE IT'S QUITE SADISTIC. But what I can say is that the worms are in a better place now.

THEN CAME DINNER. I really made some crazy friends in MJC. Who can eat ALOT. Look at this shit.


All that for only 3 people, too.

Yeah. That's a couple of cups of sugar cane, 3 plates of hokkien mee, 3 plates of wanton mee, a large plate of oyster omelette, sambal baby sweet potato leaves and a large plate of stingray.

To think that this is the kind of thing we do alarmingly often.


Jolly Shandy plus durian challenge.


Mega KFC double-serving challenge.


Epic Meat Burger challenge.


This is just Celestine and a giraffe.

So we dubbed the meal we had today "The 20-dollar challenge". Cause it cost us almost 20 bucks each HAHAHA. Not for the faint of heart; all this food confirm has knocked off at least 10-15 years from my lifespan. Just like that drunk guy from Epic Meal Time says: "We're so smart and stupid." If anyone is willing to challenge themselves to an epic meal, just ask me. You can start off with the "weilun special" from MJC canteen's Chinese Rice stall. Some low-level stuff. Yeah. Just ask the guy for it. I have my own dish. When you're ready to eat some real food, then come to me.

Though honestly, we were a bit apprehensive of the meal still, this is really high-calibre shit.


BUT WE DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT AND ATE IT ALL ANYWAY.

And just because we're complete psychos.


COCKLES FOR DESSERT, BITCH.

DAY ONE OF HOLIDAYS IS A SUCCESS.


Ripping through like a missile, ripping through my heart.
