What a hectic life

I went for school, then I went for Scouts after school. I thought it'd be hardcore from what Andrew told me, but I managed to get a slack job which is just holding the CD player to blast the marching music. That's more or less what I did for the whole 1 hour 40 minutes, until 5:10 or so. Then I called Samuel several times, and then called Danyal because I had to find out how to get to KKnM because they had sms'd me that my figure finally arrived - which I was so bloody excited about when I got the sms during Geog Core; I was literally grinning and super excited in my seat - since I forgot which bus to take.

Eventually Zong called me and I asked to speak to Samuel. After some delay, I finally got to talk to him, and he told me 166. So I took 166, and I realised I forgot to cross the road. Facepalm moment much. I got off at Clementi MRT and took 105 to Dover MRT where my mom told me to stop so that she could fetch me. She brought me to KKnM and I got my figure, got a bit surprised when the woman from KKnM told me that the $102 wasn't paid through credit card, it has to be paid through cash. So I'm like, shit.

So now my mom owes me $112, $10 from allowance and the $102 because last year I paid her the money for the figure in cash in exchange for buying it for me using her credit card.

Life is pretty boring as a whole, tomorrow is that gay Founder's Day rehearsal. I hope it's cloudy but doesn't rain.

Your Friendly Sheep's Guide to Committing Offences (YFSGCO)

I'm bored, I wonder how far I can take this. This is the first post for YFSGCO, and the topic will be on listening to music in class. Some may be criticizing my definition of a offence, maybe it's not hardcore enough for you, or maybe it's too overwhelmingly offensive for your poor little mind to comprehend. But either way, screw you, I'm running the show.

Now, depending on your teacher, this can be very hard or very easy. I can pull this off even in Mr. KT's class, so I figure it should be fine. What you want is:

1) A jacket.
2) If no jacket, then you will want white earphones.
3) A small backpack, slingbags are harder to use for this purpose.

It's actually quite simple, just put your MP3 player, PSP, iTouch, whatever you use to listen to your music, and then plug an earphone into the ear which is facing away from your teacher. Put your MP3 player inside your bag, and then hug it while resting your head on the table, with the wire barely being exposed between the top of your bag to your chin. If you're wearing a jacket like the Drama jacket with a ridiculously huge collar, you can even cover your ear and sit up straight. In that case, you can also put them on for both ears, but you're fucked if the teacher asks you to stand so it is not recommended.

This has worked for the following subjects, I hope you know which teachers teach me what classes:

- English (2009)
- E Math (2009)
- A Math (2009) - not that I needed to
- Biology (2009, 2010)
- History Elective (2009)
- Social Studies (2009) - not that I really want to
- Chinese (2009, 2010)

I wonder what to do next..

Take a break, have a kitkat.... NOT

Okay, so I just negotiated with Jerald to let me skip tomorrow cause of homework issues, and just came out of tuition so I'll take a short break to write this post and eat my pears.

Recently I haven't been playing DotA with the group, there are 2 honest reasons for this.

1) Homework. Dornel may not be so affected by this, I'm not sure if he's playing with you guys or not, but our teachers are throwing loads of homework on to us. At this current point of time, I have 2 Biology worksheets, 3 Chinese exercises including a composition to do, English comprehension as well as composition and a Geography essay worksheet. Chinese actually makes up most of the homework that gives me trouble, so I have to spend quite a bit of time on it, and since I'm pretty lethargic and need a bit of extra sleep, I don't have time to play with you guys on a daily basis anymore. It's like being involuntarily serious about my work, because I don't like CWO or Detention Classes, or taking chances.

2) My skills are degrading. This may be related to me playing less, or it might also have to do with how I'm losing interest in the game. I think what I liked about DotA was the competitive nature, how you fight to win and work together to win. I know when we play together we play closely compared to most pubs, though occasionally there are randomly formed pub teams that work together. But the way you guys talk in game and how you act kind of gives off this sense of not caring about winning, which represents DotA's competitive nature. As I said, what I like is the competitive nature, so when I play with you guys with seemingly not serious attitudes, it makes me lose interest. Hence, I'm starting to not really care anymore, and so I'm doing worse. You guys are better off winning without me than losing with me, especially since I irritate so many people with bitter comments.


I think having such a load of homework is making me a lot more sober, I'm tired and lethargic everyday. It's like I'm dragging my feet through life.

BLASTED O's, at least I have nice friends like Jerald who cut me some slack in this hectic schedule.

I remember I wanted to post about something else... but I can't remember what it is, so blah.

Hot damn, I made it through an entire post without a single vulgarity.

Cornelia 2010

My second Dissidia tournament, this one actually has prizes. Entry fee was $8. The prizes were pretty neat, first prize being a wifi adapter that has a in-built system that lets you use xlink to play online from your computer (hence, Dissidia Online). Second prize is a pretty good quality little portable speaker, it's lightweight and runs on 3 AAA batteries. Last one is a alarm clock that runs away from you until you catch it while making obscenely loud noises. Tournament this time around has 4 less participants due to school stuff, so from 20 it became 16.

Nothing too interesting, my first round opponent had Bio SPA so he couldn't make it. So I got 'seeded' to the second round where I lost 2-0. But since the tournament is in the double elimination format, I went to the Loser's Bracket instead of being totally eliminated. When I got to the LB, I just plowed my way through. Dornel also got sent to the LB in the 1st round, but fought for 2 battles I think. Then by some screw of fate, I had to fight Dornel, then I won, though seriously I think he was a bit jumpy during the whole thing, and that affected the fight. After that, fought another person whom I beat in the last tourney, and then fought the same guy who had eliminated me in the first round.

Intense 1st battle that I won in the end, then during the 2nd round (the Tournament was Best of 3 for each match), he barely beat me. I switched to Shantotto and won, since I wasn't too confident about using Tidus against Cloud of Darkness again.

Finally, Finals round, I beat him 2-0, but he said he had the wrong skill equipped and I said 'okay, we can redo that match'. It didn't matter anyway because I had to fight him twice, since he was in the WB and he lost, he went into the Finals LB which is basically a second chance. He beat me 2-0, and I now I know not to fight Kefka on Pandemonium. So I won 2nd place and a nice speaker which I am now using as a permanent speaker instead of a portable one. It's plugged into my computer and has pretty good quality, it doesn't go all static when I play high-pitch and low-pitch songs (e.g. Piano songs).

Yeah. 2nd Place, woot.

Chinese test, otherwise.. meh.

So I have my Chinese Common Test (0% weightage) tomorrow, and somehow I lost my Cheng Yu book as well as forgot to bring home my chinese books. This means I'm going to fail the memorize questions, oh fuck. Whatshisname is going to get so pissed off at me for getting 0 for that section, and maybe I'll get 20% total for the whole examination if I'm lucky. The only thing that pulled me up last year was my A2 bao zhang bao dao, which I think was really lucky for someone of my standard to get.

Nothing else interesting, I have gay Scouts tomorrow, praised by my teacher 3 times now for being neat in my work, planning on keeping files so my Shana folders don't get stretched out and worn out too badly.

Ah shit, still worried for my CL paper.

Usual shit, boring mundane life yadayada.

I went to school. I paid attention, for the most part. I went to Scouts after school. I did nothing worth going for. I wonder what the hell I'm doing every day, I go to school, I do the usual good boy antics like paying attention, or at least looking like I am, I either go for CCA or go home. CCA is boring, and when I come home I play games - which is probably the only non-boring thing in my life because I just got a new game.

I played my first DotA game today for this week, not counting the ones that ended prematurely, it was real good. Getting owned and shit, but thanks to last minute team work we managed to pull through with Jon Wei acting as team anchor with his Slark that the enemy team just seems to not want to kill. My Invoker was 5-10-13 or something like that but I think I did okay considering I gave up on offense and turned into disable Invoker and did well with that, nothing exciting for me though. Just throwing out Deafening Blasts and Tornadoes with some Meteor at the side. Jerald and Thomas were also like me, a bit background, though Thomas' Astral Prisons did quite a bit and Jerald's heals and impetus' did a lot of damage too. Jingsen was probably least useful, though his poison helped once in awhile. Games like that are fun, when it's not one-sided and you kind of need to work (play properly) to win the game.

Yeah.. still waiting for my Taiga figure.

Hm..

If it comes on Friday, I will shoot myself, Scouts and all.

I should get started on the CD poster now.

This happens too often, I think I'm delusional or just that desperate.

Maybe I'm just imagining it now. I'm sure all of you have heard of at least one of my stories of a girl looking at me/knocking into me on the bus or MRT. Some of them are like the one where the bus was rocking and then the girl kept bumping into me on the pole, the one where me and a girl were just staring at each other for awhile right before my stop, then I got off, and finally the one where a girl walked up in front of me on the MRT since I was at the door, and stood in front of me for a second, looking straight at me while I looked up and down and left and right but not at her directly. That ended in her mom coming up to me and saying something with an angry face, but I didn't hear since I was listening to music.

Today, on the way home, I decide to sit down for once. I'm sitting at the back of the bus where there's a small little slope going upwards right, and then at Commonwealth station, 5 girls come on to the bus. 4 of them sit around me (there's a woman on the seat to my right, so I'm on the outer seat) and the last one wants to sit where I am, and I almost offer my seat since I'm getting off soon but she sits down. For the time that those girls were there, the girl that wanted to sit in my seat was looking at me. But I was just looking stoned, looking straight ahead, mostly because I suspected she was looking at her friend behind me, not me. Why would anyone look at me?

Fuuu-

I think about this too much. I wonder what they were laughing about. Maybe next time I should put on earphones but not listen to anything, just to see if there is anyone talking about me thinking I can't hear them. Then I can give them the Fuck You face.

One other thing also, when I was walking to that seat, there was another seat with another girl and she nodded to me while I was walking there. I have no idea why.
