God Is Watching

Posted August 14, 2009
Excerpt:


...It is the body of a most unfortunate Chinese opposition member who was arrested and tortured by the MACC officers. Yes, he was tortured. And he was tortured because the MACC wanted him to talk.

But he could not talk. He could not talk because there was nothing to talk about. The MACC wa…

History Eludes Me

Posted August 4, 2009

I can perform in front of a crowd of hundreds of people, but can't do so in front of 2 people in an enclosed room.

I can feel at home with hundreds of eyes staring me down, but not with 2 people who don't even look at me.

I can speak in front of the entire class, make announcements and talk with peo…

Ludwig van Beethoven

Posted August 1, 2009

Beethoven is a dangerous man who composed weapons of mass destruction. No cases of dying or tortured students who played with his deadly weapons have been recorded throughout history, but I suspect that the numbers are quite high. Many a time have people joked about how Beethoven would toss and turn…

Endurance

Posted July 26, 2009
I pity my neighbours. But I also salute them for enduring 2 hours of the same 4 bars I practiced on the piano. Melissa couldn't even stand the same thing for 5 minutes, so imagine the horror my neighbours must have went through.

Wait, why am I talking about my neighbours? I think I pity myself more…

Visual Eclipse

Posted July 22, 2009
Eclipses were once believed to be caused by a demon eating up the Sun.



The Chinese, Indians and Indonesians believed that a dragon was responsible for the phenomena.



And the Argentinians, a jaguar.



Some predict war or natural disasters after the event of an eclipse.



So they all scream at the Sun-eater.



Y…

Mighty Or Mini?

Posted July 18, 2009
I actually went to Mighty Minds eventhough I wasn't feeling well, mostly for the part that I was the captain of the team. You can actually stop reading right here, right now, because we did not make it to the hands-on task, although we could have, if not for certain reasons.

Well, let's get things st…

Mr Nonsense

Posted July 11, 2009
I just went to Dr M's blog to "busybody around" and if possible, write a comment there. After seeing 595 responses for his blog post on the teaching of Science and Maths in English, I decided it would be a waste of time to comment. Dr M is not going to read 596 comments!

After some browsing around on…

You Can Say That Again

Posted July 3, 2009
Earlier this week, Anwar Ibrahim, our politically-challenged (literally) Opposition Leader came up with this horrendous statement that he would like the teaching of Maths and Science in English to be abolished and replaced with BM as the medium of instruction in the 2 subjects.

I've always heard that…

Misunderstood

Posted June 28, 2009
Dogs aren't supposed to eat chocolate. But some do, and face the consequences, paying the price with their innocently dumb lives. So if you love your dog, don't give it the "mercury potion".

My parents unwittingly commited crime by buying chocolate biscuits for Lost-N-Found Miracle dog, Silkie. After…

The King of Pop

Posted June 25, 2009
On a very coincidential day, Michael Jackson (the King of Pop), and Farrah Fawcett (Charlie's Angels) passed away. It was on this same day that Cassandra's house got broken in and her laptop and soldering project for Home Science got stolen. Amid the events, it was also Cass's sister's birthday, so …

It's A Small World

Posted June 20, 2009
School was great!

(Excluding the fact that everybody screwed up mid-term and that our marks were censored).

It's a small world where people suffer the same things.

"The answer scheme is so......narrow!! Why can't they--"
"Exactly!!"
"So why don't we protest?"
"Of course we have to protest."
"Then let's pro…

Torture the Government :Holidays That Never Were

Posted June 13, 2009
The fortnight-long holiday has proven redundant for my case, mainly because 11 out of 16 days were not spent doing the "correct" things. Neither "correct" as in studying, nor "correct" as in "teenager correct", spending time on the computer. Instead, there were various "distractions" to pay attentio…

Scrabble Scrambled My Head

Posted June 7, 2009
Let's see, choir was just over on Wednesday, the 3rd of June, right? Just yesterday and today, my brain has been fried into bits. Thank goodness I'm still functional (although I don't think I'll survive the frying from Madam Tan when I get back to school). The abscissa question would probably be the…

Malaysian Choral Eisteddfod

Posted June 5, 2009
MCE was considered quite interesting, although last year's one offered more lovable songs choices. However, people were more friendly this year. Or maybe it's because I took more photos of the other choirs.

My nametag was really off the planet and thanks to Zi Ying and her grand ideas, my identity ha…

"Just Like Adam Lambert"

Posted May 30, 2009
(Quoted by either Keefe or Calvin)

When you start saying things like that, you know you're too much into American Idol, not to mention being too sentimental over Adam Lambert's unbelievable loss.

(Let's make this quick)
There were 9 schools involved in the competition.
Captivating images by Zi Ying:

Abscissa Whurd?

Posted May 28, 2009
We stared at the paper and it stared back at us.

Determine the abscissa of point X.

It is quite humiliating to know that our year never learnt this simple vocabulary. Abscissa. That small, taunting word which takes up so little space in our lives, yet still haunts us till today. Abscissa. Echoing. Kil…

American Idol 8

Posted May 22, 2009
American Idol Season 8 has come and gone.

Now, I can finally take pride in my "special ability" to predict wrong American Idols, seeing that I have done so for 4 consecutive seasons. From Chris Daughtry (season 5) to Blake Lewis (6), from David Archuleta (7) to Adam Lambert. They were succeeded by Ta…

Inspirational Essays

Posted May 16, 2009
There are many English Freaks in my school. Most of them are really logically challenged. So, it's no surprise that they come up with "sensational" essays. If you think all teenagers are a boring bunch of people accompanied with passive thinking, then here is an archetypical essay to prove your stan…

Cataclysm

Posted May 9, 2009
It starts with accidents.

Accidents happen.

When a virus spreads quickly and is speculated to become the next global pandemic equivalent to the Spanish Flu or "La Grippe", that's an accident not contained.

When an idiot suddenly swerves in front of your car and you have no time to hit the brakes, that'…

Crisis At the Bookstore

Posted May 2, 2009
You must be asking yourself now, "How old is this nut who is writing all these crap?", right? Well, let me give you a few pointers to allow you to roughly guess my age.

When I went to China, the people there thought I was probably older than 17 or something, since I was taller than most locals. In a …
