Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Let's have a major recap, starting from ... the day after I posted Tis-n-Tat. By the way there is another new post under this one - it's posted earlier today.

Definition of last week: Torture, buffed with Tarukaja, Bravery, Heat Riser, Power Charge, Makakaja, Mind Charge and all that. The Geography project kept everyone staying up late (unconfirmed for all, but confirmed for me). It was frustrating, especially when your parents are inconsiderate enough to ask you NOT to do the work and doubt you about what you are doing on the computer. Well, according to my father, back in his days they don't do these things and they freaking don't need computers to do their work -.-" ... Yes, there are people like him in this diverse world. Whenever he asks me to go to sleep, my usual line is, "Hello, the teachers don't care about your health. You can have your work done and you at a point of extreme fatigue but the teachers will remain indifferent. But when you don't finish your work, brace yourself for incrimination." But of course, thankfully people like Mr Danny are considerate enough to allow me to sleep for a certain amount of time (I slept in his test for 30 minutes). This is what I consider real sleeping, not WCSD, due to the fact that I bear the need, the want to sleep. WCSD is automated, and its nature is more akin to that of rebooting than real sleeping. James, I hope you see the reason why now. Maybe for some reason you are able to get sufficient sleep, but I surely didn't, and I ain't the only one sleeping in class that week. Aight, boys? 

On Wednesday there was an assembly. Mr Ling warned us about placing insults in your blogs. I'm safe from that warning, I guess. If there's really any form of insult in my blog, I'm sure I have apologized for them *nudge nudge*. As in foul language, I've never used anything further than 'damn' or 'dang'. I don't use dialect slangs like 'hao lien', 'kanasai' or 'sienz' because I don't think they are cool, but others think otherwise, duh. Most importantly, I don't use the f-word which Mr Lee frankly explained in his portion of the assembly. But I promised myself that should there be more anonymous warnings, I will delete the post where I insulted Mr Danny and Ms Connie. I mean, since those warnings are anonymous, I never know if they are directed towards me or not. Geez. One thing of note is that when Mr Lee went into that subject, he practically drove off Ms Voon Suan Ngo from her seat. I didn't observe the other teachers - Ms Voon was kinda close so a glance or two was fine for me. I didn't dare observe too long to avoid any eye contact with any of teachers. During that assembly I sat next to Sharon and Dawn, with Lester in front and Vincent at my back. I'm not very sure actually about who being sitting behind me, but I digress. Do correct me if it was someone else, those of you who noticed. On the teachers' side, Ms Voon was sitting with Mr Willie who sat with his left arm on the wall and right leg on left knee. Talking about that, let us sidetrack for a moment. Philemon (not really an official name) Kho Chik Sheng is a very funny guy. I just realized that despite mentioning his name a lot, I never really went into anything deeper about him. Unlike the other boys, his actions are kinda feminine, and that's not exactly a bad thing. Men don't have to be macho, strong or brave. That's gender discrimination according to Ms Lucilla by giving men a set of rules as to how they should act. I for one respect Philemon for who he is, and I think he gives himself identity. So whenever he's about to seat himself onto any seat other than when he's about to eat, he will place his right leg on his left knee, naturally in a flawless fluid motion. Well, I will mimic his movements in fast forward speed, then before my right leg reaches the left knee (in slow motion) I will retract, with the "Eh what am I doing?" expression. It still cracks up the Philjannes trio and the Wilsuron trio. Of course, the Philjannes trio will soon be reduced to the Aglemon duo *sniff* adieu, Janna-chan! Have a safe trip and remember to buy us souvenirs! Let us reunite with the 11/03 assembly. Ms Elaine was sitting along in one of the rows at the front and she gave out some of the prizes. Ms Voon took off her glasses during the f-word part. Time didn't give me any chance to observe the others. The prefects working as MCs that day were Yvonne-senpai as the senior and the junior being Magdalene-senpai. The former was a bit dreamy ... or not.

Phoenix: Is ... 
Franziska: She ... 
Judge: HIGH!? Bailiff!

Yes, she did sound like she was onto some dope. It's a bit ditzy, so I like it. 

On Friday, we were issued our holiday work. For BM, we have a 1080-questions objective paper. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Ms Wong gave us a pretty short worksheet on chapters 1 and 4 of 9th grade Science. One whole workbook for PK. By the end of the day, Jocelyn's Halibut is already Jessy's, Susan's chair got its name Kristoph and I realized that I had also named Daryl's chair earlier but forgot about it (it's Thalassa). During lunch I was with Yana-senpai in the Music Room. She left quite early (a prefect's travails ... ah, wonder if I'll get to experience it), leaving her stationery behind. So, I took the initiative to skim through her Biology reference book. Complex. Too complex. I don't even want to think about it. And I thought I will love Biology. I wonder now. Friday was also the release date of Resident Evil 5 for the PS3 and XBox 360 - I'm so jealous of those who own the said consoles. After the day's classes ended, I rushed for home, since I was leaving that night. I packed up fast. Let's go through what I brought. First off, I have this Camel sling pouch that I've been seen wearing during my outing to the Sarawak Museum weeks ago. 


In it, I have Twilight for reading purposes, my NDS Lite for gaming purposes, my Apple earphones to be plugged into the DS and a packet of Kose oil films. Books are a must-have during travels, for those short moments of nothingness usually, like when you are at an eatery waiting for your food to be served or you're at a boutique waiting for the women to be done shopping. The time you have to wait is never predictable, thus books are perfect for burning through those moments since whenever the wait is finished, you can just slip in a bookmark and be off. The NDS Lite is also for moments like that, but I don't take it out if the noise is too excessive, because even my earphones cannot block out the noise from interfering with the game's sound. I recently got a new microchip for my R4 card - it holds up to 4 gigabytes, compared to the previous 2 gb chip it's way superior. The earphones' from my iPhone kit. The oil films are what James always asks from me. And whenever he does that there's bound to be someone else following suit and asking for oil films. The Twilight book is from the school library. I am the first to borrow it! Ms Lucilla personally bought it for the library in MPH. She sure likes going to MPH. I've seen her there last year but I didn't know whether I should greet her or not. It's not that I am disrespectful or anything, but usually I don't greet teachers who've never taught me before because it feels awkward and at times even teachers who teach me ignore my greetings so why should I bother with those who don't teach me? My DS's microphone is not functioning. Ugh. The owner of Game Boy Center at Hock Lee was at wits' end trying to fix it but failed, big time. I miss the microphone - without it, I can't use Twister or Street Jam psychs in TWEWY, play mini-games in Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, yell in the Ace Attorney series and extinguish the candle's flame in Feel The Magic: XY-XX. Concerning the DS, I used to never play games that require the usage of the stylus when I'm outdoors because I want to avoid damaging the stylus. Now I freely play such games, such as Time Hollow or Magical Starsign, because instead of my stylus, I use the nail of my right index finger.Yes, the touch screen ignores any form of normal physical touch with the hand but it is indeed as sensitive to fingernails as it is to styli. But if your nail is too sharp it may scratch the screen, so be careful. It is also recommended that you use fingernails instead of double styli when trying to solve the electric switchboard puzzle in Hotel Dusk: Room 215 because for me it didn't respond very well to two styli at once. Okay, next! (BTW, I place the sling pouch over my left shoulder, to my right) Over my right shoulder, to my left is the bag that contains my camera. I got it last week, because I complained to my father that my iPhone's camera lacks flash and thus it captures crappy pics when in dark areas. The following night I came home from school to find a shopping bag on the dining table with a tripod beside it -.- ... what about my Ps3!? My XBox 360!? That camera costs more than a freaking 2, ooo!Well, I'm not really sure what model it is, I know it's a Canon and it's an EOS. 

I will stop here. I've typed so long then Blogger just deleted everything. Thankfully I saved the first quarter of this post already beforehand, and that's what above this paragraph. I hate you, Blogger. These things ... ALWAYS happen to me. Once I was writing a review for P3 on GFAQs then I accidentally deleted it. This is the one major disadvantage with typing. If you write it out, chances of losing your work is less. If you keep your documents in a computer or a laptop though, it's practically taking a great risk. Actually I could've just postponed this post so that I can complete it but I don't want to disappoint Alfred any longer. Or anyone else. If there is any.

I’m Diggin’ It

Phil tagged me. Twice, actually, so yeah, doing two tags – we're kickin' it off with the 25 Random Things … thing, yeah.

  1. I like writing.
  2. I'm good with writing.
  3. I want to make a living with writing.
  4. I've been thinking of becoming a part-time attorney as well.
  5. But that suggestion is near scrapdom since Mr Jeff said we need to be good in History and sadly said subject isn't exactly my forte.
  6. I want to work as a writer because it would be easy to balance work and family.
  7. I don't want to be a workaholic like my father.
  8. I don't want more children to go through the same childhood as I did.
  9. When I get to University I really want to take Literature, English, Psychology and Culinary Arts.
  10. I am really eager to learn cooking. Can anyone teach me?
  11. I like gaming.
  12. I wanted to learn game programming in Japan, but scrapped the idea in 7th grade when I got dizzy learning HTML.
  13. I think I am a very loyal person.
  14. I like stopping my sentences before the person I am speaking to actually get my point with 'Nevermind.'
  15. I don't believe in religion, but I do believe in astrology and the paranormal.
  16. I really only enjoy texting with QQ on my phone.
  17. If you call me while my parents are around, bzzt, I will ignore you. If you deliberately call my house phone, I will speak to you in an extremely low volume.
  18. Both Harry Potter and Twilight aren't addictive to me – but the thought of living in either of the books' worlds is psychedelic. Especially living in rainy and cold Forks, oh do sign me up.
  19. I love rain. When it is raining, the water purifies the Earth – cleansing it of rubbish and people, things that litter the streets. It also shuts out all other noise, and I dig that.
  20. One main reason I hate noise is because of my father's yelling. It feels harmful. It's traumatic. I do not like going down from class during recesses – so much excessive noise.
  21. I always finish my lunch quickly and cleanly, and then shoot for the Music Room. It's my stage. I like to practice my voice-acting there, and carry out popular roles. I want to have a Drama Club in school. But I digress to the fact that not many people are really commited with these activities so I don't bother staging a petition for it.
  22. If I have a lot of homework, I will also use it (the Music Room) to do my homework. It's my Unofficial Drama Club and study. You can join if you want. Just register at the school secretary for the Study Room. Maybe you can go there and do some observing first and consider it. After all, it IS lunchtime. If you don't have interest in the UDC then don't bother participating. Going there to watch is a no problemo, yeah.
  23. I do not like MMORPG and FPS games.
  24. Demerit points won't cause me to lose sleep. Don't label me like those who scream like sissies when threatened with demerit points.
  25. I don't like thriller books, but thriller movies are usually win material.

I tag whoever's interested.

Tis-n-Tat

Um, I am clearly not 100% hypocriticism-free, but there's one part of the previous post that I really must clarify as to avoid being mistaken (again). Me writing on the chairs is somehow, yes, considered vandalizing. According to Wiktionary, vandalism is the act of destroying property. Well, I am not destroying property, by all means. I was doing charity work, as I've said. As one with a strong sense of justice, I garner high respect for rules and regulations, and value law and order. However, I find it logical to break rules that does not apply logic. I think vandalism is quite subjective, per se it doesn't really hold a definition that includes actions of altering property for the better. So I don't think I broke any rules as I did not actually cause any form of destruction - added to the fact that I never write obscenities on objects. THAT's more like vandalism. Feel free to report me, Jordan, if it makes you feel better. So long as I do not doubt myself, a few demerit points are pretty meh. And that is only if I'm actually demeritted. Psychologically speaking, I think it's likely that I won't be demeritted – I think the principal will, in fact, have trouble discerning my action. Since we are speaking about rules without logic, let us move on with the fact that we cannot eat in class. I think of myself as a clean eater (literally, yes, my lunch is always swiped clean unless there are unedible parts) – I don't see how I will dirty the class. Therefore, I am persistent with my habit of eating candy in class. As of now, the only people who actually caught me were Mr Cammy and Ms Lina (the substitute teacher for Ms Joanna last year). I didn't bother arguing, because I DID break a rule. Still, I will continue to do something so long as I see fit and that it is logical. I don't throw my candy wrappers on the floor like Jordan does with his nasty oil films. Blurgh. If it's a bad thing, I'm against it. If it's not, sure, I won't hesitate. I pick up obvious rubbish like that Vitagen bottle I saw lying right in the middle of the foyer with prefects around. Quite the shame, yes.

This is my second post for today so obviously it isn't going to be long. What? You came here expecting a longie? Aww, I'll pamper you … next time. Bzzt. While you're still here, do take your time to check out the 3 new links added to Affiliates (Ha) – namely Hilda Luk, Kevin Draper and Sharon Wong. Wait; did I just save you the trip from scrolling down?

Live Long, Die Fast

I'm … down with fever. Hopefully it lasts till Wednesday at least so I can skip school tuition on Tuesday. It started this afternoon when I suddenly felt real cold while playing my DS in an air-conditioned room. I guess I really shouldn't have gone swimming last night when I am already coughing. Anyway, I've taken medication, so I should be fine. I tried mixing Sprite with salt. It's really quite refreshing and cooling. Besides taking the custom Sprite, I also went for badminton, as usual. I let out a lot of perspiration, which is good for countering fevers. I played till quite late due to our new program, Night Stalker. It can only be done at night when we only use our hearing and estimation to identify the position of the incoming shuttlecock. It's a pretty nifty training to hone one's senses and reflexes. In case you were wondering – yes, I named it after the American serial killer Richard Ramirez. After coming home, I had an Icebun. I really made up the name – it's just ice cream in a burger bun. Mine was peppermint and yam ice cream – yammy (this pun is actually an original of mine)! My favorite flavor for nearly everything has always been peppermint. I like naming characters in my stories Mint, my close friends call me Mint and it's really quite a … cool name! There's actually a reason to it besides the fact that I crave peppermint. You see, back in 5th grade, I invented quite the prime communication system in class during the second half of the school year. It's the MoCoBu (pronounced moh-koh-boo), which is short for Mobile Communication Book. Basically, I have this really neat notebook that I use as some sort of a forum … or chatbook, as the others called it. In the first few pages there are rules and stuff. The rest are basically messages that we write down while passing the book through the class. There is a separate book, the Office (the first book mentioned is the Chatroom) – where people register down their personal profiles first and pick their personal username before they are able to use the chatbook. So, I called myself bad-mint-on, after the one and only sport I don't suck in doing. Everyone else in the chatbook refers to me as Mint, and obviously I am the administrator. People who broke rules are banned, though that rarely happened. And after watching the Galaxy Angel anime, I am further convinced that Mint would make a good name. Thus, I am really into that name. The system was cancelled in 6th grade, since most of the regulars are no longer in our class (in 6th grade we 6th-graders were split into two classes – Red for those weak in studies and Yellow for the higher-ups). I really hate that because I had to make new friends all over and I have quite a few really close friends in Red class. Those new classmates that were from Yellow before 6th grade are pretty stuck-up and annoying. Anyway, I was seated with this girl who really loathed me because I was extremely annoying. Eh, by the end of the year, she's already a friend. Yeah, I'm known to be able to press people over time to become friends.

These days I've been doing some underappreciated charity work in class. Basically, I am naming everyone's chairs so that identification is easy and they won't get them mixed up by writing on the chairs with Helena, my correction liquid. I myself am quite particular about this matter – I don't like using others' chairs, so I especially hate it whenever I came back to class just to find my chair gone. Anyway, this is the current roster of named chairs:

Wilson – Clarissa

Brandon – Barbara

Alfred – Zephyra

Karen – Gustaf

Philemon – Potpourri (I thought it's po-pu-ri, Phil)

Sharon – Seymour

Michael – Eve

Dawn – Enson

James – Jessica

Lester – Fatima (be honored, Lester, for you are sitting on Luminous Arc 2's Shadow Frost Witch)

Jocelyn – Halibut

I've been thinking of naming Susan's Kristoph. For some reason, the really boring people like Jordan, Jessy etc. doesn't want their chairs named. Oh well, it's their loss, not my problem. And there are those who are constantly complaining (Philemon & Jocelyn) - Phil mainly because he is one of the boring types but at least he gave in (reluctantly) – not knowing that he is sitting on the Verdure Witch. I chose Potpourri for him as their personalities are so damn alike! Yeah, I mean, they're selfish, pompous, annoying, arrogant and stuck-up cute, popular, sociable and stylish. Jocelyn just doesn't like the name Halibut. It's quite catchy to me (Hairy Butt), and the fact that there's no need to care so long as you can identify your own chair. Relax and breathe people. I personally intended to give not-so-pretty names, like Barbara, Enson etc. so bear with it. And those like Phil should appreciate their really cute names, geez. To those like Jordan though, stop acting like you are so mature and realistic. I was so happy when Jordan sat on Brandon's chair, just to get Brandon to say, "Why are you sitting on my Barbara!? Get off my Barbara!" and Jordan's mouth went a-gaping. IN-YURH-FACE, Jordan Teng. If you think I'm immature, you're practically insulting your own friend Brandon too. Also, he tries to act more mature during English class's War of the Sentences with his most disappointing line ever: "It's just a game." No, you just lack competitiveness, Jordan. Sports are also games, so why were the people who were close to attaining the Gold Medal in the Olympics but failed all so emotional? Get a grip of the real reality. If you are never serious in anything, eh, Vivi literally casted his Doomsday spell on you. I am not dissing Jordan, but just advising. It also hurt me pretty deep as a gamer and for all the other gamers in the world – we put effort into playing games, and we reap up knowledge and skills. It's like all that was for naught. Especially things that really took a lot of effort like beating Yiazmat in FFXII, getting to Level 9999 in NIS games etc. And what about the game developers who earn money from developing games? Maybe I am just a tad bit over-sensitive, but yeah, I was severely offended. Of course War of the Sentences (WotS) is nothing like that, but still. Please, very pretty please, don't team up with me just to hog the team down with your ennui. As a word of note, I never liked group assignments. You have to work with people, and that's very hard for me. Most of the time you can't trust your teammates (I've finally been enlightened to this fact after the past years being repeatedly disappointed when doing rehearsals for plays etc.). This is especially annoying when you yourself are fully committed with doing the job/project. Even my parents are irritated now. Whenever I say there's a group meeting at someone's house, they'll be objecting non-stop since it's ALWAYS a waste of petrol and time, but I will still argue for the sake of the group. It's really not worth it. The only time I am actually satisfied was last year when I was doing the project for History with Alfred and Co. at his house. Luqman didn't attend our meeting, but he still did his job well. We managed to finish way earlier than the other groups and I can't say I am disappointed in them at all. In fact, they can be trusted. I also love the group assignments way back in ELC – the results are always capable of making me content. In 5th grade I directed and wrote a play in ELC for the first time ever and it was a huge success. Everyone took heed of my advices with voices, costumes, script, and some even improvised. The best thing of all, they took good care of the props I provided. When I brought my swords to Lodge however, they were swiftly broken up by jerks. If there's any source of my bitterness other than my father, it's Lodgians. Well, just most of them. At least there are still people like Dawn or Eugene. I just don't really like people, I totally hate crowds, and I don't think I'll ever like people much. Quoting Edward Morrison, "If there is evil, it lurks in the hearts of men" (I'm not sure it's completely correct, I typed that from memory). But humans aside, there are still friends – exalted humans whom I can seek solace in. For that, I am very grateful. However, what is this world without the presence of scum?
