That was me cursing by the way. Nah. Not angry. Just abnormally frustrated out of my wits and bored to boot.
Life......is a test. So far.....i have doubts passing.
Same goes for my 'A' levels.

YAY. Prelims are over. now i am, relatively, free and thus able to go out if any of you are planning anything. But no going for lunches. I'm fasting. Lol. And happily losing weight.
I don't know what i should do over the next few days. Sleep comes to mind but sleeping for three straight days isn't healthy. At all. Then again. So is being stressed :P
So i think i will just...you know, slack for a day and a half or two, before going back to (attempts at) revision. Or maybe just do the readings I have accumulated for all my subjects. Gotta give at lest some meaning to the death of thousands of trees, complimentary of our education system.
Which brings me a brainwave. It is widely known that to solve a problem completely, one must completely uproot and obliterate it using sustainable, long-term solutions. Such as banning homework. Or at least, homework that exceeds two pieces of writing paper. Per week. For all subjects combined. Hah.
Call it wishful thinking, but we have technology at our fingertips, don't we? According to the Hedonist's way of thinking, mankind is an infinite source of solutions to help combat any problems we face. Which is kinda funny since we are also an infinite source of problems too. Anyway, back to technology. What's the use of technology if we don't use it(provide every student with a laptop). Sure, it'll cost money(since the laptops had better be free... or at least heavily subsidised) but then again, what's the use of money if we keep hording it, without using it for practical purposes? Like free laptops for all students(with warranty, mind you)?
I think what keeps us back is basically human instinct. We can always clain to be optimistic about the future but even the world's foremost optimist(my mother) has been known to say, "Just in case." Those who don't probably goes by the name of Bart Simpson(he's no optimist, he's just stupid) or SpongeBob SquarePants(and co.). But not everyone can hide out in the middle of the ocean, inside a pineapple, with a pink starfish whose best friend is a yellow, absorbant thingy with holes wearing pants.
Thus. New laptops. Think about it. (of course, for poly students, you already have your own so....hmmmm....ah well, rant about it)
Goodness me, is that a pink fish outside my window? ooh, pweety pwink fweesh............
Yes. I know. I scare myself sometimes too.
It was actually a pink
dolphin.

WILL CONTAIN RELIGIOUS CONTENT( so those who are uncomfortable, pls skip)Am feeling rather angry rigth now. was browsing through Youtube when I came across videos condeming MY religion and from there, found an entire 'war' between Islam and Christianity.
And the fasting month is coming. should not stay angry. should not be angry. it's very... dehumanising, some of the comments, painting us like
we've got nothing else better to do than sit around making homemade bombs and setting them off someplace. please, if all Muslims act like that, considering there are around 2 billion of us, there wouldn't be a YouTube. there wouldn' even be a computer because it's full of components that go BOOM if you fix it a certain way.And no, I personally am against any violence, any type of violence actually. I don't think i've thrown a (serious) punch in my entire life. though i do give a liberal amount of pinches to my bros. Its just so.....graaaaahhhh. Though I'm against it, it is understandable now, to me, why many Muslims in the West are angry, suspicious and even paranoid (a percentage of Muslims in the U.K are convinced there is a conspiracy against them, and the numbers are growing). Sadly, not many excercise the self-control and patience Islam preaches and instead resort to other avenues of seeking redress other than prayer.Sigh...... to those who have any questions about Islam, do feel free to ask me or any of your Muslim friends for clarification on the religion. And just to show that the Holy Quran does not advocate war or promote it, this is the verse that proves it.: "And fight in the Way of Allah THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allah likes not the transgressors."
From Surah Anfa'l.Ayat 61: "But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and trust in Allah.Verily He is the All hearing, the All Knowing.And should they seek to deceive you by their show of peace--verily, Allah is enough for you."
Thus, this clearly shows that war is only justifiable as a means of self-defence. Unfortunately, there are those who resort to the 'cut and paste' method when discrediting Islam, twisting the meaning totally out of historical context or giving incomplete verses, thus resulting in "And fight in the Way of Allah" which can be taken from one of the above quotes. and sadly, it is often the media that does this, thus resulting in widespread ignorance and rancour.
We are human beings too, you know. We (the majority) will not follow so blindly so as to commit inhuman acts in the name of religion. those who do so are either mad, desperate or evil.
I'm just glad I live in Singapore. Again, the West portray this country as some dictatorial island state that is money-minded and mindless. If you look carefully, it is the people who are better off in the end. I believe Singapore is a shining example of what a modern, peaceful society should be. Btw, see the YouTube video about Eddie Guerrero ( the wrestler) visiting Singapore and eating beefball soup. He was convinced they were cow's 'nuts' if you know what i mean. Totally funny....

Wanted to rant about my siblings but decided they are not worth my time and effort. I don't hate them. I just don't like them. In particular the two younger than me.
And they are evicting me from my room to what had been my sister's room for the past 11 years, claiming that in this way, all the boys will have their own personal space (funnily enough, in the same room, which doesn't get more impersonal) while the smaller room(currently mine) will be perfect for my sister who will have it to herself. Despite the reasons given, all I can think about is how they are taking away from me the room with the computer and the only working ceiling fan in the house, not to mention a great view to the garden-like badminton court behind my flat. And i don't get the personal space argument. My brothers use my room and my sister's for personal space, especially since my sister is not currently living with us.
And with their ongoing 'clean-up' of the rooms, I have not seen my house messier than it is in the past five years or so. maybe longer. And, as you all know, the timing for all this is just
perfect. Now my notes are strewn across...everywhere and while i was able to keep track of where they were....now..... lets just say i hope those notes i don't have with me are not at all that important.
I will not blame this episode for what might be dismal prelim results. That would be just plain immature. Just like how my two brothers are now so gleeful, once in a while popping up beside me, sneering "You don't have your own room anymore."
And they still wonder why i don't study well at home....... my mum is convinced its because of the supposed mess that is my room. It's not t all messy to me. I know where each, relevant little thing was. SIGH. Was.....
I am not at all happy about this, in case you are wondering. Of course, it might have something to do with how not a single person has asked exactly how i feel about this. No. They just drop the bombshell on me two days ago, explaining what they are doing and why. Not even a semblence of a permission was asked for.
When I get rich and famous(refer to previous post on fantasies), I'll get each member of my family their own suite of rooms. And lock them up there and conveniently misplace the keys..... maybe somewhere in the Pacific.....

Muahahahas....BOW TO ME!!!
I am listed amongst TIMES Magazine's top 100 most influential people in their most recent rankings, at 100th place.......along with all the other bloggers on earth but that is completely besides the point. Haha. Me. Sorry....am currently amusing myself for the sole purpose of amusing myself. And of course, to distract me from doing what I really should be doing. Sleeping.
No reall, its 3 o'clock in the morning, and no one, not even the most die hard A' Level student have any business studying this late. Unless he just woke up or had an overdose of caffeine/sugar/chocolate/everything mentioned.
As for me? I have no excuse, other than an extremely warped biological clock that constantly mistakes the moon for a sun and the night sky for a bright, sunny morning. And what do i do? I blog about it. Extend my influence. Let all insomniacs know they are not left to suffer in silence, though it is kinda quiet. Hmm.... if I am a fictional character, I would most likely want to be a vampire. Pale, good looks, immortality, babes just falling for that oh-so-mysterious aura that in actuality is just a concentrated cloud of pheromones designed to kick start the auto-pilot section of the average human brain.... not to mention a cool manor and wrinkle free skin for all eternity. And maybe I'll even pass NAPHA, with astounding vampiric grace and unnatural agility and speed. Not forgetting of course, the unrivaled popularity in the form of burning torches, wooden stakes, pitch forks, Buffy-wannabes and, in the asian context, a fu talisman on the head.
And with all eternity to spend, who needs to study? I'll just say, "My cert or your blood." and all will be well.
Hmmm..... I really should stop drinking coffee......
