so i woke up this morning and got out of bed, then, i did what any normal singaporean male would have done: i checked www.soccernet.com and low and behold, Ronaldo is not going to AC Milan! (see previous entry). i heaved a heavy sigh of relief, and could almost hear the mac donalds joints in Italy cursing at their loss of potentially millions of euros worth of Big Mac revenue.
prelims are coming and i've got that omnious itch on my knee. the itch that comes everytime a major examination, be it school or otherwise, is about to descend upon me. its sort of like going to orchard road on a weekend and trying to avoid students armed with tin-cans asking for donations - you try to avoid it and curse when they come, but you know you're in for it anyway. if you had prepared before hand, you'd have stock-piled loads of five cent coins (the lowest denomination nowadays after the singapore mint stopped producing one-cent coins, but thats another donation conspiracy altogether (see nkf)). disclaimer: i'm just kidding, please don't sue me. yea so what i'm actually trying to say is that i'm really dreading prelims although i know that i've got to face them in 3 days time. but it's sort of disheartening for me, coz i absolutely don't have the comparative advantage in mathematics and i slogged my heart out on the 2005 jc prelim papers - but cometh the hour, cometh the test, i got a mere 45 marks on a mock test. i should just stick to econs which i love, and be a 1 a-level student.
who needs 4 subs? 1 will suffice.
onto other news, SG-Idol-hopeful (or in my opinion not-so-hopeful) nurul was kicked out of the competition yesterdae. for the record, my favourite singer is Hadi, and my best friend is Johan so i am NOT a racist. i have friends of other races, and i support the racial harmony programme (is there one? well if there isn't there should be!) in singapore. but in my opinion she should have been kicked out a long time ago. a thought bubble suddenly interrupts my trend of thought by bursting through other thought bubbles - but that means a certain Joakim Gomez is still in the running. yea, i agree that if he was a foodstuff sold on one of aisles in NTUC, he would have been removed due to regulations that state supermarkets are not allowed to sell expired food.
sigh, after all that ranting and raving about absolutely meaningless stuff, i realise that i rrly should be studying right now... suddenly it seems that impossible IS something - A Levels. bleah.
Breaking news (at least its breaking at the time i'm posting this post).
AC Milan (only my favourite club in the whole wide world), are tabling a bid in the region of 15 milllion pounds, YA, POUNDS (see IRONY), to secure the services of -here comes the joke- Ronaldo. and i'm NOT referring to the Cristiano variety.
yes, you heard me right, the same Ronaldo that went on an unstoppable eating spree, threatening to eat up teammate Roberto Carlos at one point, has attracted the attention of Milan coach Ancelotti. i wonder what his wages will be like? 21 Big Macs a week???
for the good of the club, i hope he makes me eat my words. but, knowing him, he'll probably eat them for me.
today (world reknown?) poet Boey Kim Cheng came to our school and gave us a lecture..
and this is me, paying attention to the lecturer during the lecture.
random post: L.C.S. is actually an incorrect abbreviation for L.C. ASS. thus it should be L.C.A.
ofcourse, the L.C.S. i'm refering to is noneother than sinister Lim Chin Siong who terrorised our beloved PAP leader Lee Kuan Yew during our road to independance. Curse you LCS, may you die, rot in hell, and have the remains of your rotten carcass spread upon the f*cking sh*t pile that can be found in the place where shit goes after we flushed it down the toilet bowl.
Random word of the day:
narcoleptic
n.pl. narcolepsies
A disorder characterised by sudden and uncontrollable, though brief, attacks of deep sleep, sometimes accompanied by paralysis and hallucinations.
word power, use it!
ok snap back to reality, whoops! there goes gravity! and i've realised that it is rather tough trying to conquer the world, all thanks to the game 'rise of nations' that owen has lent me. been playing it for abt 2 days now, and i've taken over 1/4 of the world. can't say the same for the fungus on my toe, coz its more or less losing the battle to eat up the nail due to the constant bombardment of anti-toe-fungus-solution avaliable at your friendly neighbourhood phramacist. on another more personal note, i've sort of wasted the weekend trying to conquer the world and thus i haven't done uncle johnny's vietnam war question yet. at this juncture i would like to point out that life is full of ironies (think: i've been playing a war-themed game and have neglected my cold war essay? at the other end of the spectrum, i'm fighting a battle against the raging fungus [yucks] on my toe. ALLUSION! HELLO]) so i'm sorry uncle johnny but i don't think you'd mind marking 1 less script? well not to tuesday at least, but i DO intend to get it done! yes i do. soon... maybe after i take over central asia k.
so today we can come to the invariable conclusion that fate is probably a literature student because it's full of literary devices (allusion, irony, and OH! wait here's one more! PERSONIFICATION.) ok i think literature is driving me up the wall right now. mrs cloudine Claudine tan just said that i am one of the weakest students in literature in class and that really peeves me out! (hey i realised i like the word peeve, it sounds so cool) not least because i've been trying really hard for lit! and by trying hard i mean doing all the homework on time and putting in all my effort for it! oh and i jus realised how stupid i sound coz every1 is supposed to hand in their homework on time and put in 100% efford for it. but hey in reality thats not the case ok! and i'm a good student that does it and it is oh-so-irritating coz she thinks i'm not trying hard enuff haha. life is angst filled isnt it? well i'm a teenager, i got the right to my daily supplement of angst.
so i think i've overshot my daily quota of complaints, and i think i should begin to end off here (ah! IRONY AGAIN!) there's band concert tonight and i'm going to support li lian and ben from band haha (ALLITERATION.. ok random insertion of literary techniques is getting irritating) so i'll cya'll later.. don't tink any1 can find this blog yet but its ok! i enjoy talking to myself! HAH.
