Hurry Sickness.

Last thursday, i was at a music camp organized by my church, and the preacher was like saying how he as an american was fascinated by this one thing we Singaporeans do. He said something like " you guys are the only people who actually press the door close button on the lift door before the lift door closes." and everyone laughed. ( guilty as charged. )

We have what you call the hurry sickness. IF you havent notice, we are a hurry society.

First, we got one of the speediest education systems in the world. Just look at A levels man. We finish a 4 year syllabus in 2 years. haha. maybe its because we make up for all that time with having only 5-6 hours of sleep a day on average.

Secondly, you got crazy uncles and aunties on the bus, who would shove themselves out of the bus. " AIYOOHA. BOY! SIAM SIAM! LATER THE DOOR CLOSE THEN SIAO LIAO AH! " ( follows on to chuck poor boy away with a walking stick ) If singapore is supposed to be an elegant society, they have to first put these old people through some mass social etiquette class.



The last one is my personal one. Dunno if anyone does that yet. Last week, i found Iris. Not girl la. Its some fatabulous service to tell you when the next bus will come. HOHOHO. So, today, i was at home getting ready to go to school. i smsed the number to find out when my next bus will come. " next bus: 5 minutes, Subsequent bus: 22 minutes " WAH!! 22 minutes, CHIONG AH CHIONG AH! i speed changed into my pe. packed my laptop, wear my socks and shoes and chiong out. haha. then went i reach the ground floor i smsed again. " next bus: arriving. " wah sian. rush for nothing. in the end take MRT. see i save a total of 17 minutes waiting time. and wad did i do with it? i went to the guitar room to slack. Kinda defeated the purpose of saving time when i ended up wasting it. OH WELL. I kiasu mah. every minute counts. :D

Aces Day.

Everyone remembers aces day. that stupid day in primary school when everyone wears a funny cap and do some lame exercise in the hall.
But have you thought of what the word aces stand for? well, i havent and didnt know wad in the world it means. Until today, i was enlightened by some s42 dude. Aces day---> All Children Exercising Simultaneously Day.
What the. lol. Seriously. Oh, i went to do some research, and found out that its not some propaganda thing by the government to make fat and chubby little kids to move. Its by some angmoh called len saunders. He's a PE teacher, who wants people to know that PE teachers actually do something. ( unbelievable. ) and that PE is important. So he sent letters to all the angmoh schools to exercise simultaneously. In summary, PE teacher (bored and unrecognized) ---> Aces Day.
Always tot aces means something else?

like this
2 aces.

or this
an ace fighter plane.

WRONGWRONGWRONG. Aces day leads to healthy children like this.
Arent you glad you know that now? cheers.

Misconceptions about Dota. ( by girls )

Dota. The thing that keeps us guys sitting in front of the computer for hours. You (girls) may be thinking, Wads wrong with you guys? well, actually nothing is wrong. and here's my argument and opinions.

Common Misconceptions about Dota.

1) Dota is a waste of time.

k, actually i cant really counter this argument becoz its kinda true, but i can tell you how its ok for us to waste our time dotaing. :D You see, you girls have wad you call drama serials and whatnots to keep you peeps occupied. So, for the same reason, guys play dota. therefore, we can simply say that drama serials=dota, so for every reason you girls watch dramas, we play dota.

2) Dota is more important than anything else.

Well, this is so not true. Everything else is important, but when we're playing dota, dota is everything. and thus, other things are not important. :D but that's only true when we're actually playing dota. So, dun call us on the phone when we play dota, coz you'll be talking to a block of wood.
An example of a typical conversation on the phone while playing dota would be

Girl: you know ah. blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah
Me: mm.. ya.
Girl: then hor. blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah
Me: i see. Eh, wait ah. i dying, gimme a minute. ( kiaps phone between legs and ears and use both hands to meddle with the computer. ) k, can already. wad were you saying?

So, if you dun wanna go through an emotional trauma of feeling neglected and all. PLS! when a guy says i'm playing dota, just say " i'll call you back later " or " I understand. byebye. " dun try to strike a conversation, coz you'll be really disappointed.

3) Dota is stupid, what's up with just going around and killing stuff.

Dota is a mind game. its like playing chess, or doing a maths question. See. Its a whole new perspective altogether. Its always kinda hard to explain to a girl wad dota is about especially when it starts like this.

Girl looking at guy playing dota.
Girl: liddat also fun meh? just kill the skeletons. so boring. somemore all the spiders and creepy crawlies, so disgusting.
Guy: er.. ( thinking hard to fight back ) ok.

All in all, its hard to change your perception of dota altogether, but I'm just giving another view right?

Blood is thicker than water. HAHA. right.

I've just reached home from hsuante's house. I walked up to my bedroom, turned on the computer and i saw my sister's MSN on. Went to peeked at it and guess wad i saw. my sister's personal message was " Waihong's blog is so childish. " what the heck, i changed it without hesistation. and it read something like this " My blog is so lame. Go read it. :D " and i laughed all the way down, confused look on my family's faces. owned. especially my sister. i bet she's counterattacking me now and telling all her girlfriends about it. oh well, it sucks to have an immature little sister who has nothing better to do in her life other than gossiping on the phone and backstabbing her brother.

Decided to change my address again. Hsuante said that its too suggestive and disturbing to have both salmon and stream in the same phrase. so, i thought wad the heck, the salmon should be cooked and not alive to be useful. So instead of salmon in the sea, or salmon up the stream, i thought it'll be better for the salmon to be dead. so i got www.cheesybakedsalmon.blogspot.com, haha. drool.

oh, hsuante also said i shouldnt flame that retard who flamed my tagboard. i should just delete his posts. oh well. guess that'll save me more time. This is the 4th post in a day. i hope i can get the linguistic part of my mind more active, more frequently.

Tagboards.

One reason of having a tagboard is to observe and realise how ignorant some people really are. (whoever you are out there.) no offense, but i am so free now, i've decided to flame you. :D

Come on, if you really hate me that much come talk to me. i'm sure we'll work things out. dun be a loser and sit behind the computer screen and insult me coz i wont know who or what hit me. it only goes to show how lifeless you are coz you have either.
1) no friends
2) no life
3) no brain

If you dun wan to see how bad my posts are. you can
1) stop reading.
2) send an email to blogger.com to delete my blog
3) get a life.

No intention to be mean to whoever that is, but seriously, you criticize my blogging, you flame me on my board. Why in the world are you even looking at it?

If you feel like you wanna flame me on my board somemore, wait! listen to me. i could give you a suggestion.

Since you dun have a real life or whatsoever, you could get this.


The game of life.

You could make believe and pretend you actually have a life in this game how cool is that. OH, and the last time i checked at amazon.com, it only goes for a cheap price of US $8.99. Woah. NOW you can spend your time learning how to have a life and less time wasted on torturing your eyes by looking at my blog. no hard feelings k? cheers.

Salmon up the stream

Thought of a cool new name for my blog. and add.

www.salmonupthestream.com

yes, salmons dun live in the ocean, they live in the river. i have realised that soon after i created this blog, but there is now an apparant need to change the blogname. (thanks dad.)

Here is an illustration that justifies my new blog address.



observe the courage, the determination of this salmon swimming stupidly against the flow of river.

If it makes it up, it gets to mate.

If it doesnt, it ends up being this



yumyum.

Heck no.

Yo sup peeps. havent been doing much blogging becoz of two reasons.

1) Lazy. why write essays when you can just play dota or WOW.
2) My father reads my blog.

Yes. you did not read that wrongly. my father reads my blog. apparently, i havent been secretive enough to log out or clear history and cookies after blogging.

Dad: i think i'll read my son's blog and find out wads he's up to. `looks at blog.` oh my. my son is so emo, better go home and ask him how he's doing. :D `winkwink

After a long day at work, dad returns home to ask son.

Dad: i realised you like quite depressed recently, do you have any problems?
Me: NO! ( why the heck you ask that?)

Now i noe why he's been asking strange questions lately. heck no. i dun want anybody in my family to read my blog. i know i should honour my parents and all, but i dun want them to be knowing exactly wad i am doing or thinking or blogging or anything else that they could use to humiliate me at home. Although my mum made an argument that my blog is for everyone to see, why cant they see it? good point, but no thanks.

Of Exco, Footstools and Peedabbaeuuuw.

Today was a typical exciting day in the exciting life of a jc student after promos. It started out kinda stupid. Arrived at school at like 7.30. Met up with my classmaties and sat on the stairs of the concourse and blocked people from walking as we stoned there. haha.

Then, imagine this. Doing chinese test at 8am in the morning. Oh my.. my brain was not even working la. do one question, then stone for a minute, then do again. zzz. In the middle of the test, Matthew Ho came in to borrow table. lol, it was the ultimate master of funny. he said like " oh shit, my chinese teacher caught me for ponning 1 week of chinese. die. " then, he continued to say like " Chinese is useless". Then, my chinese teacher scolded him upside down, she turned all red and asked him to get out. hahahah. wad a joker.

After chinese, went down to canteen to wait for my PW meeting with my ST. Suddenly one of my groupmates started talking really agitatedly on the phone in chinese. Then he put down the phone and shouted my name. " WAI HONG! " and started saying some stuff. i just shrugged and pointed to hsuan te becoz it was his fault not mine. Then, he stormed off angrily. Weird.. First conflict in the whole PW process man. Shocking.

Went to confess to my teacher in charge about the missing footstools. Was so mentally prepared to get skewered and die in flames. but, surprisingly, she wasnt angry at all. She just told me to go down to the shop to buy some new ones. phew. 190 burned from the guitar fund. oh well.

Then, went to meet jenny ongs at ice cream chef in the afternoon coz she had no money. and needed me to go down to supply her icecream. Ian was supposed to be there too, but he didnt go in the end becoz it was raining.. zz. Then, we went down to Ian's house to slack and watch TV. until bout 6. And went to eat really really nice food in Siglap with the com. YAY. i think our exco is pretty cool. Ian says he's gonna invite us to his house for dinner one day. and we can watch movies together as a com yay. Anyway, I blew about 20 bucks today. roar. Fun comes with a price. Good nice food and loads of icecream too.

Not going to school for chinese tomorrow.
Chinese is irritating. PW is Hell.

God will make a way. :D

Salmon, signing out. Wish the next time wont be that far away. i've been slacking in posting. always too lazy.

Smiley. :D

Yay. Forced myself to write another entry. summarize for the last few days la.

Saturday: open house. screwed up my conducting. Shi Kang told me i almost fell off the stage. Thank God i didnt coz that'll just be painful and humiliating. had enough humiliation from the guitar photo to last me a lifetime already. Roar, then i pang sehed Ian(left him to stockcheck and wadever stuff) and ran off with his bro to yishun asap. Had no time to change, so i went for worship prac in my uniform. Elvin was like " i trying to guess the colour of your uniform, so i can guess which school you're from. " then, someone like said vj. Then he replied " oh, no wonder you got the 'i am better than you' look." aha. then, he like said to Joel " you got the 'i am lousier than you' look." ahahaa. Oh, then after edge, went over to Shaun's house for his birthday barbeque cum watching soccer party. He told me to take 854 and alight after i see a flyover to CTE, so i did that, and i was like in the middle of nowhere. ah. so had to wait for another bus.. Hsuan Te got drunk after eating a really small slice of the chocolate alchohol cake. And was like laughing like for totally no reason. seriously. insane fellow. hope he doesnt see this.

Sunday: went to church. came home. slept. played comp. eat dinner. then, slept.

Today: Got back 5/6 of the promo papers. k, i did rather well considering the amount of effort i put in for the exams. A for chem, C for physics and maths, E for GP, B for chinese. Dun wanna know my econs grade coz its going to be ugly. Played squash and tennis for 1 and a half hours today. never sweat so much during PE before. Tried to do my op slides, gave up after the first slide. was too boring. Ahh, i'm so tired. better go sleep. good night people.

Clean Room.

Went down to school at 11plus to clean the guitar room. What a revamp. It looks so much nicer now. especially after much sweeping and mopping. The cupboards are neat and stuff. Yea. Saw a couple of lizards, flies, and spiders while cleaning. and my feet were black and icky. But its now dry and smooth and nice to touch. wahahaha, can eat off the floor. :D

No laptop, cant play dota. siant. mother confiscated from me coz i woke up at 4 today to play. :( i dun see why not. i slept at 10 the day before wad.. sigh.
