I just watched Hilary Duff's latest flick, "Raise your voice" and I'm going to do a short review here.

The storyline is so so, but i think the director did not do a good job telling us the story. It can be really touching and it deserves to be in a book. I don't think this movie was taken from a book, but the story line suits one. My first impression was a low budget movie. If it is a low budget movie, then it's a job well done.

I have to admit, after watching a few of Duff's acting, I can say she's improving. From Lizzie Mcguire the movie, I find her holding the character well because she was playing her for some time. So it would be unfair for me to make a good judgement. In Cheaper by the dozen, as we know it's a bad character development movie, I think she's trying a little too hard and it didn't come out right in my eye. Cinderella story was not too much of a difference. She's still trying but at least it comes a little more natural. Don't get me wrong, this movie actually proved to me she had a great potential in acting and not just some lucky kid who got a lucky break into the Big picture scene.

In this movie, she's great. Trust me, alot better than the movies she did before. Still not an Oscar performance, but if she keeps it up, i'm not surprise if she earns a nomination in a few years time.

The other characters were fine, although I felt Oliver James' character mood change was unrealistic. Something that the scriptwriters have to work on.

Overall, predictable but better than 100 minutes of your life doing nothing

This is my cell phone. It's a classic 3315. There is nothing special about it. It's something most of you will be ashame to even see it. Anyway, living with parents who don't believe in colour phones and cameras while thinking that messanging and calling is enough, I have to use this one. I tried my best by changing the cover and the keypad. The keypad is special. Note that there is NO NUMBERS. So yeah, it all comes to memory and instincts.

Like the rusty brown orange cover? At first, I wanted to get a green one, but then this one suddenly strikes my eye. My friends say it looks like rust. Even cooler.

Wednesday, October 27, 2004

The day's been interesting, with a few events that happens spontaneously, something that I find interesting.
7 Days is the right word today. I should go call all SPM-mers that I know and say "SEVEN DAYS" in the freakest way possible (hints at "the ring") Due to uncertainties of phone bill budget and uncount cost, I think I will decide not to do so.

Anyway, The day started off with hearing the melodies of "Buka Puasa" prayers. As someone found out, I'm awake at that time! However, had a short shut-eye moment later on.

The horror! It's pouring, and it's pouring hard! Damn, there goes my day one would think. Lucky for me again, mother nature is kind. So I walked 40 minutes to the club. Good exercise, fresh morning, bad traffic.

I wanted to surprise my friends who will have no idea that I'm actually going there. But before that, i've got an autograph book to fill which I did just that. So yeah! being a non-member means free meals and drinks. My "paisehism"(awkwardism) shown for a while but then again, what am I suppose to do anyway.

Didn't really succeed in the surprise part. They were surprised but I played no part in doing anything. My friend just saw me way before I planned something interesting. At least they did not expect to see me there today, so I guess that is fine to.

2pm means time to go for a drink. After that I decided to go home due to transportation reasons. I don't feel like another 40 minute walk home.

I was invited for a football game tomorrow, I'm still uncertain of my plans, it's kinda early. I'l think about it. It's good to relax a little before SPM hits hard. However, Tonight, I will at least spend 3 hours drilling myself giving 73.3333% in efforts to push knowledge and remember them thus allowing me to do better in SPM. To those SPMers out there, SPM IS COMING TO GET US! it's time to show them who's boss and hit them back hard. Like Thunderfoot the swift (Kin Chern) and his Mickin character would say, "YEAH!!!!" (Do this with your thumb, Index finger and your little finger sticking out of both hands, and do the freakest shiver anyone can imagine. ANd go "YEAH!!"With the might of your heart!)

It's good to be 15 in my school today. More specifically, a form 3. Guess what, PMR is over and they went to KL for an "Educational trip" Yes, Form 3 is a great year, It was my best year anyway.

So what about KL trip. Want to know something cool? For the last 9 years or as long as I can remember, our batch is the only batch that did not get a KL educational trip. The School uses excuses that pleases one's ear, and they silently postpone and postpone and cancel and bring things back again. Sneak-ki-lee, they did not mention a word about it during our year and make a big deal out of it for the year after us.

We've complained before, but all we get was, "Well, you're just unlucky."

Bah!

I know why we were never included in this KL trip, but it's best I do not mention about it over here. Note that I do know why though. Part of an important experience of being a Lodgian is taken away from me.

Anyway, I know I'm a little too late, but to the form 3s of lodge who are reading this, have fun! And buy me something!! (Damn, I'm a little too late. You're there already. Someone better bring a laptop)

10 days
only 10 freaking days
10 days
10 days
240 hours (not considering the time)

still a long way to go right?

Why should anyone hate SPM anyway. If you arange it, you get P-M-(something)

10 is a good number to countdown with. Tommorow, I will start the countdown in a single digit. Cool eh?

What's even cooler is that SPM will finish in 39 days! Woo hoo!

39 days is not that long. Those people in Survivor outwit other players in 39 days. So can I.
SPM... bring it on!

The Amazing adventures of Flyman
Adventure #8

This time, Frog Fellow is up to no good again. He's robbing the bank! I do not wish to reveal the name of the bank. Due to certain reasons that I do not know.

Anyway, I was walking down the street just like any other day, biting my paddle pop ice-cream when I heard a weird sounding siren. My first thoughts are telling me, "It's my cell phone." I pick it up and answered, "hello?" Wait! It isn't I looked around saw people running out of the bank!

I said out loud and clear, "this looks like a job for Flyman!"

Immediately I ran into the bank. Seems to me Frog Fellow was busy putting cash into a black plastic bag.

I had to put on my flysuit. So I sneaked myself to the toilet. Okay, During this tense moment, it's not as easy as one might think. Things did not go right. Buttons falling out, zips doesn't zip and all the fabric details. Okay, Probably took me a little more than 10 minutes to get dressed.

I made a grand entrance and shouted out loud, "Do not fear! Flyman is here!"

I look around? Where is Frog Fellow? There are only policemen around searching for evidence and reporters taking pictures!

I went up to a policeman and had a short Q and A session with him.

"Where's Frog fellow? I went to get changed and out I come and so.. where is he?"
"He left the building a long time ago."
"What?"
"Yea, we arrived and he ran off like a wire."
"wire?"
"Err.. I don't know my similes well."
"Oh ok."

Damn, was a little caught up. NeverminD. I will get you next time Frog Fellow!

Power Rangers Cliques

1. After morphing, they do pointless flips in the air.

2. Of all the places to attack, the villain have to destroy the city where the power rangers live. (eg. angel groove)

3. The blue ranger will always wear a blue shirt(when they are their alter-egos), the pink ranger will always wear pink and same goes for the other rangers.

4. When the command centre is nearly destroyed, it signals the near end of the season.

5. After using their super combination of weapons, the enermy's monster will grow 20 storeys high but never uses this golden opportunity to stomp on the rangers.

6. After a Megazord gets destroyed, there's always a spare more powerful ultramegazord somewhere.

7. Repairing a megazord the size of a 20 storey building will take as long as the time required to repair a motorcycle.

8. The repairing is done just in time.

9. Reguardless of the size of the disaster. Citys tend to be fully restored by the next episode.


10. When the megazord is being formed, the giant monsters never took chances by pulling the zords apart. They just watch.

11. Zords appears from valcanoes and under oceans and looks brand new in each episode without rust, or damage marks. This goes all the way until it is destroyed.

12. After a short battle of zords and giant monster in the city, with fallen buildings and all, suddenly they are fighting in the countryside area with a lot of soil.

13. Power rangers announce each time they morph, and usually no one sees them.

14. Those that do becomes an important character later on.

24. They are often moralistic when trying to save the city in their human form.

25. An army of putty patrols are no match for 5 rangers, but a monster is strong enough to cause them problems. Why not send an army of monsters?

26. Putty patrols are easy killed by touching the "Z" symbol on his chest. And they never bother to wear an armour over it.

27. Super villians live far away like on the moon, on a space craft or underground. Rangers only attack these places nearing the end of the season.

39. Rangers has only one extra curriculur activity, and they do it nearly 24/7 unless hanging out with the other rangers. (eg. surfing, gymnastics)

40. In the command centre, the great almoghty master of goodness is either a powerless robot, a princess from far away, a hamster, or a head stuck in a tube.

42. Supervillians all look diffrent from one another, despite the fact that they are from the same species.

91. The rangers from the previous season will pay a visit for an episode and give good advise, then leave.

99. There is never a male pink ranger, or a female red ranger.

The month of Fasting. This is the sun. When the sun is up, during this Ramadan month, muslims are meant to fast. I decided to fast as well. Just for two days anyway. It's not my first time or anything, but yeah, thought I should write about it here. Some people might think that 1 whole month of no food and drink, how could one survive? Obviously it isn't very hard to survive without food for a few hours. And water, I notice if you don't think about thrist, you don't even need it. So I think more non-muslims should try fasting during this month of Ramadan. Try it for a day or two. I heard it's healthy too. Plus ecomonically healthy.

And when the sun goes down... heh heh heh (i meant eating, what were you thinking?)

Have anyone not realise how flat the world is? Are you blind? If the world is round, or most commonly known as a sphere, we would fall off the ages a long time ago. Don't give me the gravity excuse, making me believe we all fall on the earth. Seriously, go take a ruler and place it on the ground. The world is flat. There is no other possible explaination. If you uncarefully sail in the oceans, you might fall off the edge and fall straight into space. However, most of you call this thing a "Bermuda Triangle". In this "Bermuda Triangle", well it's not a triangle anyway. It's the edge of the planet. Duh! So you go there, you either get switched to the other side of the planet or fall of the face of the earth. 50-50 chance, no less no more.

If you dig deep enough, you will never reach the centre of the earth. I think this is rather common sense, because there is NO centre of the earth. Probably after digging, you will find youself in China or something. Seriously, go try!

Every lodgian must come here and give a laugh.

9am, the clock was ticking at it's usual pace. Not faster, neither slower. I looked at my watch again. Yes! It's on it's normal pace. Nothing can go wrong, doesn't seem like I'm suffering from a Hang-over, so it's good to go out. I walked myself to Kenyalang to get a packet of Mr Potato before my feet brought me to the Busstop. 3 minutes before the bus arrived and off I went to Tabuan Jaya.

At Tabuan, 2 kilometre to walk to school. Mother nature smiles upon me and grant me an average weather for a walk. There was no rain, thunderbolts, hurricanes, tsunamis or even a meteorite hitting me. Lucky me! Ran into a dead cat though. Looks like it's been there for two days.

My schoolmate from the other calls invited me for an extra biology class. So I went. Nothing much accept that in a while, my cousin asked me to accompany him to the shops. Yes, it's weird going to school on a normal school day and yet you have no class or purpose there. Oh yes, my headmaster greeted me, and I didn't greet him, well yes i did greet him but he greeted me first. Does that make me more important? Duh! of course.

After lunch and an hour in school, including a terrible bump on the road, cornetto eating, my cousin sent me home. Before I could catch my breathe, my friend asked me to have a walk with her because she was bored. Well, so was I and I brought her to my house, look around and I walked her back. Now I'm here typing this.

I read this article about walking today. It says that you need to walk a full length of a football field to burn of the calories of a single m&m candy. This got me thinking a while. The length of a football field is 100metres. 500 tiny candy of m&ms is equal to a whole big mac. so 50,000 metres to walk to burn off the calories of a Big mac. If you run, probably 1/5 of metres needed to burn those calories away. Take makes it 10,000 metres. How many people run 10,000 metres after eating a big mac? I've walk that distance continue-ously before and some people already think I am insane.

No wonder there are so many obese people these days.

20 minutes of walk everyday can get rid of 3.5kg of fat in a year. 3.5!! I know people who gain 10kg every year. Either because the gravity is getting stronger, or they don't walk for 80 minutes a day.

Last night, we had "Study group" Or in other words, we celebrated Daniel's Birthday. It's funny, because we planned to bring him to a dark remote junction. There were around 10 people, and we expected 5 drivers to bring their cars(including me) However, my mom had to go out for some reason and I thought, Hmmm, 4 cars, that should be enough. So i reached school and saw 1 car packed with 8 people! Amazing. Where are the other cars? Everyone gave their excuses and I gave mine. Damn! Such a coincidence.

So Daniel is arriving late. We sent the crew to the remote Junction and went back to my friend's house where we waited for the arrival of the depressed birthday boy. He came, and we drag him to the car, telling him our study group will be held at a different venue. And Off we went in the car. Closing the junction, My friend noted to me, "I think there's something wrong with my tires."

There was obviously nothing wrong with his tyres(or nothing serious) and I knew it was a plan to trick daniel. I pretended, "yeah, Is it this one?" Pointing at the tyre on my side and explaining how shaky and dangerous it can be. We had a short conversation about stopping the car and have a short checkup.

We entered the junction and my friend and I came out to hav a look at the tyres, signalling to others to surprise Daniel. They run out like weird people from the jungle and surprised! I wonder if he was surprised. But he sure didn't look as depressed as before. We realise the junction was too dark so we went to the park and had cake(baked by a MALE friend) and pizza and drinks. Then we played on the swings and listen to my "boombox" And people do sound drunk in this situation.

After realising, you know, we should do something, so we went to the Tabuan Jaya market to eat Ice Kacang. Then we went back to my friend's house however he wanted to have a ride in the other car. Having a driving liscence, he gave me his car keys and I had to bring the rest of the crew back there. This is not the first time driving his Nissan with blue lights from below, however, after driving my Manual Proton, It's a hell different experience on a automatic Nissan. The brakes are tough!

So that's the end of the surprise party.

There is a debate on which drink should represent kuching as the "Kuching Drink" (My debate acutally)

It's obvious in foodwise, Kolo mee has outclassed other food to capture the title as the "Kuching food"

These are the nominees for Kuching Drink.

Teh Si Peng
Probably the favourites to be crowned Kuching drink. It's widely ordered all over the place with it's mild sweet and hidden bitterness with a mild colour of brown, perfect to tastebuds of Kuchingnians.

Teh O
A close challenger to the Teh Si peng. A darker source of tea which is rich in flavour and hav a coffee delight in it.

Milo Peng
Everyone's favourite. Who doesn't enjoy a cup of Milo?

Kopi O
Coffee not as it's best but has a character that proves to be the people's favourite. Price range is also dirt cheap compared to world class coffees

Sugarcane
A dark horse to claim "Kuching drink" in my opinion. Widely sold in Sunday Market.

Ice Lemon Tea
Widely ordered with a sweet sour lemonish taste

Grass Jelly and family, Including those green stuff
Quite common these days. Has it's sweetness and cooling devices
Soya Bean
A underdog to win this. Genetically engineered beans to produce a sweet white drink

Note:
A few drinks are not nominated because...
Teh Tarik
More of a Malaysian Drink than a Kuching drink

Coke/sprite and other soft drinks
Doesn't really show the Kuching spirit in it

Beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages
Didn't come close to qualify

Ice Kacang and family
More of a dessert

Bubble Tea
Once again, Didn't show the personality of Kuching

Poll will be out soon, so send in your votes

This day will stick in my head for as long as mankind exist.
I've done what I would like myself to remember doing. I did not go around asking people for autographs on my shirt or magazine, neither did I take a camera and snap pictures. Number 1, I know I'm going to regret it, but I do have everyone's pic already and number 2, I don't know why I din go around and ask people to sign for me.

I did a few stuff to make my school life worthwhile. After my cousin invited me to climb the school tower, I followed him. He went up with a camera 1st, I went up 2nd to sign my name on the wall. It was a vertical ladder, with the lower rung at least 6 foot off the ground. So upper body strength is needed to get started and luckily, I did it.

I went off signing in all corners of the school (toilet, class door, bulliten board, goal post, fan, aircon, everywhere!) and threw one of my old shoes in the storeroom. I will throw the other side in the forest or something sometime soon.

I should stop now. I just found out some people that I never knew to come to my blog came to my blog. so "hi!" thanks for supporting.

I'm going to miss lodge. It was my home, It was my life.

Yes, tomorrow is my last day of school and today was the second last. It would be important for me to talk about school life, at least a few times this year.

I've been in lodge ever since I was 3, now i'm 17 and that makes it all 14 years. 14 out of 17 years is a long long time.

I think these last days are really going to be unforgettable. Apart from filling up autograph books, and taking tons of pictures plus playing cards, school is nothing about education now. A form 4 friend came and tell me that we are acting like there's a party going on and we are in FORM 5 sitting for SPM examinations in 2 weeks!

What I am going to miss alot is lodge "after school football". This is when boys from form 1 to 5 gather and have games of football. Today was probably my last game in my lodge schooling life. I've been playing lodge football for years, and even get to be the president of the lodge football club! But the important part about the game is having fun with friends and celebrate victorious moments.

Today was a good ending to my Lodge football career. Apart from scoring my last goal, we had a effing good time at the dome sliding away n the wettest situations one can encounter. This is really something I will really really miss. I might be playing football elsewhere, but at lodge, it really homey. As i said a million times. I am going to miss it!

My last week of school, And I'm starting to miss it dearly. I better talk about A school day's life right up to 5pm.

So I wake up, sometimes, I come online to check football scores, sometimes do nothing or whatever that pleases me. After Breakfast, I drive to school. Since we only have 2 cars with 3 drivers willing to go to 3 destination, I lost out in the battle of having a car of my own. I drive with my mom sitting at the navigator's seat and when I reach school, she drives the car away. Having to drive with my mom, I do get some comments from her. Sometimes, I'm driving too fast (when I am not) and sometimes I do get scolded for driving with one hand (she says it's very gangsterish and dangerous)

Reaching School, There would be a couple of people finishing homework, playing cards or just sit around and chat. Usually I join the card games to kill some time. Then Lesson begins at 7.30. No one cares. No big deal. Not what we come to school for anyway. I mean, who comes to school to study?

Today, after boring hours, I escaped my moral class to join some of my buddies in the library. Met a few of my old teachers today, it's a wonder how they remembered me so well, and giving me nice ego boosting comments on my looks. But too bad they are 35+ year old single women.

Add math. I come to a conclusion that Add math is way too easy for me. Too easy, that I should not be doing any of it. It wasn't challenging enough and I did not want to spoil my brain. We had to do a Paper 1 today. Like yesterday, I decided to do the paper with one eye closed(literally!). Yes, with cellotape and paper, I patched my left eye and did the whole paper. My add math teacher could not recognise me from a distance and went, "Is that Adrian?"

Joel exclaimed, "Yes!"
"Is there anything wrong with your eye?"
Joel again answers for me, "No, the add math paper is too easy, so he did it with one eye closed."
I became the celebrity of the minute. I did finish the paper, and i hope i can hit 100% or something close. If Joel remembers to bring a rope tomorrow (hint) I will do my add math with one hand tied behind my back!

The Amazing adventures of Flyman
Adventure #7

The late Christopher Reeve is a true hero and needed the respect he deserves. The World's superhero association decided to throw a Remembrance party to remember the Superman Actor who paralyzed himself and died in his early 50s recently.
I was sitting on my desk, doing homework, when the real superman dropped by(literattly) and invited me to the remembrance party. I put on my costume and followed him.

Wow! when I got there, there were almost 300 superheroes from all over the world invited. I looked around at the superheroes from different countries and tried to make myself at home. I found the guest list and it seems to me only 3 superheroes from Malaysia are invited. There's Keluangman, his sight kick, Tiongman, and me Flyman. I feel truely honoured to be invited in the first place and I had a chance to meet internationally famous Superheroes.

I met Tommy, from power rangers. He was joking on how Lord Z wanting to take over the world and how important it was to start attacking angel groove. I shared my Frog Fellow experiences.

Then It was speech time. Everyone stood still to pay their respects to the great Christopher Reeve. The real Clark Kent gave an emotional speech and started crying on stage. "It's nice to have a person making movies of you but to have this tragedy, one couldn't stop crying." Weird how such a Macho fellow break into tears like a little girl. After the party, I went home.

Look! I'm in the credits of an internationally famous computer game. It's about time I showed this off. The game is called FM manager. I happen to be the assistant researcher for the game. I work under SI games, and I started work since 2 to 3 years ago. During that that time, the game was called CM which stands for Championship Manager. Working for an international database makes me a one day celebrity to whoever that knows me and play the game. I get free magazines too. It's cool. Although I havent done any work for a year, in the latest version, I'm still appreciated!

Note that the picture is a little small.. enlarging it would spoil my template.. bear with me

Why are grasses green and sky blue all the time?

Seriously, I thought about this a long long time ago.
I gave myself some time to imagine if things were not the same. Let the sky be Red for a day. Okay, the sky represents the heavens. And red is a colour of danger, evil. Obviously this does not fit. Having a yellow sky would show the heat of the area. Not too nice too. I think we all prefer a clear blue sky than a bright yellow sky. We would be wearing sun glasses for a longer period of time. Now a gree sky, imagine if we do have a green sky. Does this short statement sound good? "The sky is green and the birds are singing" Not very catchy isn't it. Therefore skies should not be green. Never ever.

Now, about grasses, If we have red grasses, People might mistaken them for flames from a distance, and they might call the fire department and trouble people. Now, we don't want a lot of that to happen do we? Yello leaves, like what we seet today, it looks dry. It's fine but looks dry. What about blue grass? In my opinion blue grasses looks unsafe and poisonous. So we do not want blue grasses. And since the sky is already blue, we need a little more variety. So green grass suits it best.

in other words.. i am bored

The Amazing adventures of Flyman
Adventure #6

Due to frequent request from this little girl, I have decided to patrol her housing area, Taman Mee Teck. According to her, there were not one, not two, not even four or fifty, but THREE robberies that happened at her house. The record of robberies around the neighbourhood is also quite terrifiying. I took the initiative to stay out of Frog Fellow's evil schemes and spending time patroling this housing area.

With full alert and paitence, I hide in the bush every night for a 3 nights straight! Night one and two, who knows what happened? I fell asleep.

Night Three was different, I felt the cool breeze blowing on my suit. I squinted my eyes to sharpen my vision. Suddenly, My fly senses tingle. Something fishy was going on.

Two boys were walking on the street approximately at 3am. They stood outside the gate of the little girl's house and one of them tried to climb the gate. I stood up and exclaimed, "This looks like a job for Flyman!"

I got up and chased the boys. One of them ran off like the wind, but I caught the other right by the collar.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked angrily.
No answer
"Why are you doing this?" I asked again.
"I have no shoes sir, those that I stole the other time doesn't fit."
"Ah-hah. You are the one. You should go to school."

He took out a pen knife and offered a fight. Doing fancy silat moves and all. I stood there, give him a stare of boredom.

"Let me ask you something," I started, "There is a rooster on a triangle shaped roof. It lays an egg, will the egg roll down on to the east or the west?"
The boy stood still. The started thinking. After a while he said, "I give up? what issit?"
"Roosters don't lay eggs boy."

He looked as if he was the dumbest fool the world has ever seen. He bend down to the ground, just about to break into tears. He held his hands to me, trying to apologize and feeling as guilty as a vase.
I looked at the poor boy and said, "that's why you should go to school."
He nodded and ran off. Job well done.

I sat down feeling ready. The time was right, I knew I made the right choice. My thoughts are now debating on whether I will regret this incident or not. But I decided to trust my instincts. My tatoo artist showed me what I had to see. It was small, but I knew that was what I wanted. She asked me for my arm. I put up my arm. I felt the pain. It's running through my head.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

Realising that it hasn't begun. I shallowed saliva and nodded. I faced m friends, they faced back. They give me a look of pain which frightens me. I answered, "Yes, I am."

I closed my eyes. I grab a friend's hand. The artist rubbed my shoulder with water. Then she placed a sheet of paper. I screamed as it happened. My friends screamed with me. I held tight. Very tight. Too tight. Way too tight! Okay, maybe not that tight.

"It's done," said my tatoo artist.
"it's done?" I asked.
"Yes it is."

I stood up firmly, holding up my arm, showing of my pink elephant tatoo which was a water based tatoo as a complimentary gift from Jigs Keropok!

Woo hoo.. Today marks the end of PMR. Hooray! Yipee! Celebrate. The bad news is, I'm not in form 3. Any Malaysian will tell you that not being form 3, means you don't get to sit for PMR. Therefore there will be nothing to celebrate. And being in Form 5 (which I really am) Any Malaysian will say, "He's got SPM.. let's laugh at him, hahaha."

Anyway, let me talk about PMR. Good luck to all you form 3s out there reading my blog. It's too late to change things now if you screw up, but trust me, PMR is useless! It's just a fun annoying prick that I would love to sit for this year. Trust my words, it's useless. I myself am a great achiver, a predictor my my beautiful straight A PMR results and I dare to say that PMR was a joke! (ok.. that's enough) and look at me today, sitting here typing on my computer having the SPM fever! In 2 years no one's going to care about your PMR. In 10 years, people don't even realise you sat for PMR. In 50 years, you might not remember what PMR is.

I also heard about the BM paper, the 4 out of 5 essays predicted correctly. My 1st impression is Corruption. I hope this happens for SPM!

I expect form 3 students to crawl around cybercafes, movies and the town tonight. Perhaps some will go online til the early morning, who knows. And the PMR students in my School are about to go to KL for an "educational" trip. How unfair, as far as I can remember, only my year is the only year that did not attend that KL educational trip. Anyway, have fun guys! Have all the fun you can before you walk into the pit of form 4!

We are destroying the world! Yes, face it, human beings, you and I destroy the world. We write essays on how to save the planet, and spend alot of money on this and that. Have you ever realise how much money we spend each year? I don't know how much, but that is not the point. The point is, we have been killing and destroying and the world and we know it.

I'm not talking about deforestation or saving endangered species. I'm talking about those Culex mosquitos that is now almost extinct. Humans spend so much money to save pandas and whales, and yet we spend so much to destroy these species of mosquitos. It's true that these species carry the virus Japanese Encephalitis and taken 105 lives in Malaysia from 1998 to 1999. However, I don't think bringing them to extinction is nessasary. They might be a thread to us, so what, why are we so selfish to not give them a chance to live.

It's true, they are very troublesome. But it's life, face it. Law of Mother Nature no1 says hunt or be hunted. We are hunted by the Culex mosquitos. We can fight back, but we have no rights to cause them to die out!

The good people of Taylor's College came to our school and opened an information booth today. Yes, a Booth, where they promote Taylor's college and let people know how tough things in life can be. Shedule says 12.30 to 1.30. As very hardworking and moralistic students, me and my buddies go at 1pm, right after lunch and the begining of Chemistry lesson. Shucks! Miss another lesson of Chemistry. What LUCK! Damn. Nevermind, this is more important.

Happily the bell rang it's loudest ring. Everyone heads back to class, and out we come from class to the booth. I met two new friends, friends who are going to let me go into taylors if I applied for it. They are Cynthia and Irene, both works for Taylors in the Kuching Office at Eastmoore. They were very nice middle-aged ladies. As normal as I can possibly act while sounding very interested in everything, I took all the newsletters, booklets, pens, forms and brochures. The kind ladies gave me a plastic bag to put everything in.

Damn, Only 1.05! Still early. It would be rude to enter chemistry class 5 minutes late. Better to enter it an hour late and pretend to attend important business. So we asked the ladies questions, questions and more questions. Everything a student needs to know about Taylors, we asked. Or at least I think I asked alot. Common questions, personal questions, questions that did not matter, all asked. We stood there and chat with the ladies till 2pm. Oh dear, they were suppose to leave at 1.30! What have we done? They just worked overtime? ahaha.. "Nevermind" they said. "Nevermind" we said.

I was going back to class, skipping happily like a true nerd, singing songs from Disney, "I can show you the world.." Doing exactly what a true nerd would have done. After a quick rush in lunch, it's back to studying moral in class, and suddenly this boy of 11 years stopped me.

"Excuse me sir, I know you."
"You do? who the heck are you?"
"You are Adrian! My hero. The Legend! My daddy told me alot about you."
"huh? He has? Oh yes, he has. Excuse me, who's your daddy(doesn't that sound cool?)"
"Oh, famous people like you don't know him."
"Me famous? you must be wrong."
"No no, i've got the right one."
"you sure?"
"Yes yes I am."
"What made me so famous until you know me?"

Then I turned around to throw away some rubbish and turned back again.

He's gone!

Yes, yes nerd month starts today. I have not forgotten. I had a good start at tuition where I gotten some work done. I did the St Joseph Mock paper (or at least my teacher says that it is) She told me it was a tough paper, but I don't really have much problems with it, after working on Lodge's merciless add math test!

I also gotten a haircut to begin my campaign for nerd month. I asked for a nerdy haircut (which in other words, suppose to look very smart or dorky!) turned out a little different, it's the old weird haircut I use to have when I was young. Oh well, at least I tried to get the barber to give me a nerdy hairstyle. I'm not sure if he knows what a nerd means. Maybe that's the reason why it turned out so different from what I expected. But nevertheless, nerds do have short hair, male ones anyway.

So yeah! Study Study Study, 3 words that would be a perfect motto for this month. Like what I said, it's crunch time!

Ok.
Great day today, actually great night! I took the car out legally for once. I begged my parents to let me out with the car and I succeeded. And it was great! I never knew driving could be even this fun! Come on, it's great.

So yeah, went out to movies with friends and hang out and all. There's one thing about driving out, you get to park in those 10 storey car parks and actually pay for it. And at 1 point, I probably made a very hillarious mistake. Okay, those parking places, you need to get a ticket before you go in. I approached one. I find out I had really short hands. Hmm, nah, my car was too far from the ticket machine.

How embaressing.. i took of my seat belt and half my body was out of the window to reach out for the button. Then get back in, just in time so my car would not get hit by those weird road blockers that goes up and down. Damn that was cool!

It's October! Yes finally october! One more month to that thing that I have to sit for! Yes! Yes! I can't wait! hahahahaha

So anyway, I promised myself earlier on last month, that October will be themed as "BE A NERD MONTH" Yes, I will try my very best to be as much of a nerd as I can for this month. It's crunching time. Keep telling myself, "hey, just 2 more months to suffer."
Doesn't two months sound alot? Imagine having a tummy ache for 2 months straight!

I also decided to officially open the "Be a nerd month" right here, right now. So why not lets all put our hands together and welcome the beautiful fun month of October. I might be opening the month today, but that doesn't mean I will begin my nerd activites just yet. I decided to start this sunday, October the 3rd. Not today, because it is getting late, and tomorrow, I wanna have some fun out with some friend first. So, 3rd it is.

I don't know how successful this month will be. But I do have faith I will turn myself into a nerd just for this month. Pray for me!!!
