I remember the first computer game I played, albeit fuzzily. Of course the game is so old now that even the official website has been removed and changed to a command and conquer site. I did however manage to find this (:

Ahhh, I feel so old now. I was like, 8-ish when my dad brought this home one day (from JB of course)

It's been ages since I've thought of Dune 2000, I guess I'm thinking of it because I have the original Dune novel sitting next to me now, a result of a sci-fi loving (and generous) aunt who donated $40 to inkwell if I'd read that book.

Looking at the website makes me feel like playing it again! Ahhh, I remember that infernal worm coming up and gobbling my harvestors, and those cute little quads (that's how I learnt quad meant 4 >.<)

And my favourite house was Ordos (:


Worm eating up hapless tank

Ahhh, I feel like playing it now :( But I'd seriosuly doubt it'll run on a XP computer and I think even the pirates across the courseway have either destroyed or cleared their stock. Sigh. After Dune 2000 was Starcraft with their more complex storylines and units, not to mention graphics but Dune 2000 will always remain in my heart (:

Gee, I sound like a nerd >.<

Ordos, out.

Mmm, going to make this quick since I want to start typing out notes for the next History test (besides the treaty of versailles, what else is it on?) as opposed to doing notes the day before the test and typing like a man(wo)man.

Bio: We dissected a goat's heart today (: So fun. Hehehehe. At first it stank real bad and I felt a little sick when Mrs Lee was showing us the procedure especially when she kept sliding her finger up and down the various valves and poking at the umm, weird white stuff in the chambers (I forgot suddenly >.<)

It didn't help that across the airwell we could hear B2 (stupid bimbos >.<) screaming with every poke at the goat's heart.

Anyway, I dissected the heart with Eleanor, Chessa and Celestine. Chessa and Eleanor watched while Celestine held the heart and I had the dubious honor of cutting the sections of the heart up.

Snip snip snip. Ooops, that looks wrong. Snip snip snip. Hey that looks cool! *someone pokes the heart* snip snip snip. Hey look, I can stuff my finger up this! And look, I can make the heart beat *Celestine grabs the heart and starts squeezing it*

On and on the inane conversations and noises went from out bench. How fun. Well, it didn't get fun till we were actually finished with the heart (which we cheated a little and pretended to identify parts because we wanted to do more interesting stuff with the heart). The heart was pretty much in 4 equal chunks because of the cutting I had done earlier and so we each grabbed a nice chunk and set about desecrating it.

I used the sissors I had in my hand to snip by bit 'o heart into tiny dog food size chunks, Chessa set about cutting the fat off her bit, Eleanor cut shapes from her heart and Celestine ever the depraved humorist stuck her finger up a tendon (or was it a valve?) and used the chunk of heart as a 'finger puppet! say hi!'

Other groups cut their heart into small chunks (bigger than mine though) and dumped it into the basin and pretended that they were making soup.

'I've never seen a class of girls all mutilating their hearts collectively! You girls had better not use the chemicals on it' - Mrs Lee

Which of course made me want to dumb some dilute Nitric Acid (so sads, not strong acids for us) on the heart but I decided to to finish snipping up the heart and then forgot about it afterwards.

How fun (:

On Monday I recieved this sms: "ICIC eh you know the guy who likes to bang his head? Ben Soh? He blew his face off with paraffin today at chem prac!"

I wish I had paraffin for chem prac today so I could aim the mouth at the teacher.

She's always picking on me now and isn't happy till she sees me crying. I should just cry at every slight provocation so she'll be happy for the rest of the day >.<

Aha!



I have not idea how this picture even got into my camera, nevermind, shall put it up for all to see here (:

Founder's Day!

Shall post more tomorrow due to:
a) lack of time
b) talking to too many people
c) I want to go offline earlier tonight

They served the same food as last year!

Man, my internet is running really slow and I have no idea why, waiting for Blogger to load killed my mood to blog about anything interesting (other than this).

Well, Racial Harmony Day was today (we celebrated one day late) and Mrs Liow let us go and change and Gina handed me this super short chinese collar/indian tunic like dress. To make things worse, there were high slits on both sides of the dress.

When I found a pair of black pants 2 hours later, I was so happy. During bio I found someone's Punjabi sash/scarf lying around so I wore it and changed my outfit completely (:

Meanwhile, I can't find the option to change my font like usual, (stupid computer) so I guess I'm stuck like this. Better send it off before the browser decides to close itself >.<

Makes you feel incredibly intelligent doesn't it?

Hahaha, fine, i'll finally post the two links I've been meaning to for a long time but never got around to doing:

Jacinth
Yihui

Happy? (:

Oh yeah! The Good Charlotte concert was really good! Just the thing I needed after a really bad day in school.

At first I was a little grumpy because of what happened, but as The Anthem began I started to feel a little happier, loud noisy music and all and at the end of the song I was really into the spirit of things (:

On the other hand, the guys seated next to me were completely dead! They just sat there look grumpy and bored. One even leaned forward so that he could rest his elbow on his knee (he had propped his head up with his hand). They all looked really bored >.<>

Anyway, I counted: 42 people, mainly girls fainted/had to be pulled out from the standing section. At first I was quite disturbed and worried but after a while so many kept on being pulled out and I saw the girls walking away soon after they got over the other side of the barrier.

Throughout the whole concert, I kept wondering when they were going to play Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous, the song that broke through to the Singapore market and they finally played it as the last song (:

Hahaha, for that song I actually got up and jumped along to it. Alot of other people did as well so yeah. except for the three stooges of course. They just sat there and the one next to me had his foot jumped on (by me of course) how fun. I should have jumped on his foot more.

When we exited the indoor stadium, I felt a little woozy, like i had cotton wool stuffed so deeply into my ears that it touched my brain. It was a strange sensation. I couldn't hear properly and my voice was going a little.

Weekend's almost here!

One hectic week ends and so begins another >.<

At least I got to rest today (: But today was so eeeeee.

Oh well, shall not elaborate. Think happy thoughts (:

But ughhh, next week looks very busy too.

On Monday I have more training, followed by family portrait taking in which I will end up looking like shit and a half dead zombie because of the aforementioned activity.

On Tuesday there's the wonderful Geography test, and maybe after school some activity with my aunt and cousin, plus my uncle bowed to my cousin's pleading and I have to accompany her to the Good Charlotte Concert which I'm not to thrilled about as I wanted to watch CSI (gee, I sound very loser don't I?)

And on Wednesday, I have guides as usual, somehow I don't feel very thrilled about it anymore, but before that I have an E Math test on Circles, something I'm not very clear on. Aaaaaa.

Plus Miss Goh's coming back, which means my stress level will head sky high as usual during Chemistry. Oh well. It'll be over soon. 4 Months, 4 Months!

And my legs itch like hell too because of the training on Friday and I came into contact with grass. Aaaaaa. Hives hives hives!

Man, even doing a simple task like typing makes my arm muscles ache >.<>

Had the first training session today. Aaaaaa. So much flying soil.

We had to changko holes and then cover them back, by the time I was halfway through my second, I was so tired I could barely stand and everytime i flung the changko at the soil, my forehead throbbed with pain more.

Sigh.

Actually, I wonder why I'm doing this at all. Maybe with the hope that I'll be recognized and get promoted? I don't know.

It's a bit like China and Taiwan, as long as Taiwan refuses to recognize that she belongs to China, it's a living insult to China.

As long as I see Serena is PL and does less than me, I just feel so down and upset. I still don't understand why.

And I guess i'll be stuck doing the same crap over next year because I've done the calculations based on the demographic, the voting population, the candidature and the vote casting and I've come to a conclusion: Next year's leaders will be someone nice, but someone who knows nuts about Guides.

At least it's not Adeline >.<

I wish I could stop caring, but I can't. Maybe I should have just quit at the beginning of this year like I was encouraged to, but something just kept me on. I wish I know what it was, then maybe I could get rid of it. Sigh.

My hands hurt.

Man, that Al Qaeda is at it again, bombing London this time, the day after the announcement was made that the 2012 olympics would be held there. I bet the terrorists had bombs ready in Paris, Moscow, Madrid and possible New York or it's neighbourign states and they'd have bombed them too had they won the bid. Tsk tsk.

Anyway, feeling really stressed out now. Ugh, I don't even know why!

I guess it's because I had to stay back almost everyday for some activity this week and today was another of those super 'pro' days with all my humanities lined up one after the other right before recess. That and the fact I want to spend more time with my cousin who'll be leaving next week. Sigh.

At least I get yummy endorphins (at least that's what I think it's called) from this um, lump of chocolate. It looks like something that comes out of the other end, if you know what I mean. The chocolate from Grace melted into a lump and i went to freeze it (:

Chocolate's still chocolate (:

Aaaaa, my leg and my neck's itchy now. Must be the hot weather :(

Aha? Shall I be lured by the dark side? Methinks not, not till the O levels are over anyway. I'd never leave MGS (:

With my aunt's family back in Singapore after 5 years, It's nice to see my cousin again, being the same age we click easily. However with her entering High School after this summer, my aunt brought up the topic of studying in the USA, ie: leave MGS now and go off and join Grade 9 when school opens in September.

But I won't do that, I've already ruled the thought out of my mind already. I can't just up and leave MGS and all my friends, family just like that.

Still, after O levels, it'll be an option I'd certainly consider since my odds of getting into JC (and i'd only want to go to ACJC anyway) are pretty slim, if I go to poly I won't know how to use it as a stepping stone for a liberal arts course when I go to university.

Thought it will be harder to settle in if I just turn up in the middle of High School as compared to the beginning of when everyone is rather blur and lost.

And I do have family in New Jersey, which is where I'd end up if I go study in the USA anyway. That's what my dad did, except it was in Windsor, Canada.

Oh well, have to leave it all in the Good Lord's hands. We'll find out in 2 more years.
