Wow, OEP was absolutely mind shatteringly great, save for TBot and R (also guest starring Emil). I think it's safe to say that we are all throughly disgusted and pissed with the rock hard duo (how the hell did Song Yeong come up with that name?!), but nevertheless despite all the super duper highs and death-valley-lows, overall it was a great experience, and I would eagerly jump at another chance to be overseas with you guys again, minus the trio (hint hint Cielo!)
On the trip it suddenly hit me that bam! I was overseas, for the first time without any familial relations about, with people I had not known 3 months ago, joking, laughing, being perverse, bitching, talking cock, and basically having a great time like no other before, I cannot recall ever being so comfortable and at ease before with so many people. It feels weird when I think about it, but on the other hand the feeling I get when I'm with them simply overrides everything. Words, could not express the love I feel towards 5.9 now.
Besides the more 'superficial' happenings at OEP, it gave me a chance to have really good talks with people, and my mind has been blown in, out and all about this past few days, and suddenly things are so clear - so clearly twisted, painful and hard. Suddenly a line appeared between two dots that I had assumed were connected to other things, like a child's game of connect the dots gone horrendously wrong, and the lines of a poem formed in my mind, but they were quickly forgotten. It changed the way how I saw things, the subtle nuances all blown up and highlighted in my mind.
Will blog about OEP another time, when I am less tired.

I have detention tomorrow.
See last week I skipped the softball finals with Nic, Darren, JLC and Patrick to go to the National Library to do work for our History IA, later Daryl came along after he marked attendance. It turns out Gerald the care bear marked as us absent, since he is extremely honest and all that, which is kind of unusually moral behaviour for a youth his age, though as a result of his honesty I will have to wake up early tomorrow *shrugs*.
Anyway tomorrow those of us who didn't go for the finals, minus JLC (how did he do it? :o ), have to report to school at 830am for a forced study session, which actually isn't too bad. I just hope that I am allowed to use my laptop there because for the huge shitload of work I have to do this weekend, ALL of them have to be done in Microsoft Word. I am shackled to the demon that is technology.
Of course the kicker is that WAY more people skipped the finals than those that got caught, but we have been chosen to pay for your sins!
I am talking shit. I don't really mind it actually, all I care about is if I will be allowed to use my laptop to do work.
Group 4 project today turned out to be way more fun that I thought at first, the nonsensical parts being when 1) Patrick and I tested Apple Jacks and 1 mol of H2SO4 (it dissolves) 2) Chun Wui making tea out of boiled leaf juice 3) Cao and his pillow trying to sleep in the lab and other little bits here and there. Mr Leow also managed to break a beaker and hurt his hand while at it. Of course this also means I have the joy of writing another bio report ): gah so much work this weekend!

'On Friday, February 16, 2007 Akçam was detained at the Canadian border for nearly four hours. He was due to give a lecture at the invitation of the McGill University Faculty of Law and Concordia University. The reason given by the Canadian authorities was an inaccurate claim in the Wikipedia article on his person around December 24, 2006 that he is a terrorist, the result of vandalism.'
From Taner Akçam's wikipedia article.
History IA is such a major pain in the ass.

History IA is such a major pain in the ass.
Yesterday I discovered one of the most perplexing random things that someone has ever done to one of my things.
I left my maroon pen on my desk in 5.9 as I went off for my Math Studies class (yes I know, Math Studs) and when I came back for Econs I didn't really look at it as I put it back into my pencil box. Then during Econs I took it out to jot down some notes and I looked at the barrel, the messy remains of the price tag I half peeled off were gone! It was one of those annoying price tags where the glue is so sticky that the backing gets ripped off when removing the price tag and even when you remove the backing, the sticky glue is there. I sure as hell could not be bothered to remove it.
Flash back to Econs class. I literally sat at the desk staring at my pen in confusion, wondering if I had taken someone else's pen by accident, for a few minutes. I couldn't concentrate on sex god's lecture because I was so confounded by the pen.
Is CLow's Chem lesson so boring that someone would rather remove price tags off other peoples pens than pay attention?

Cause and effect, the butterfly effect!
I believe that our past plays a huge role in our present lives, even the littlest change back then would have resulted in us being a different person today. If there had been no car accident more than 14 years ago, would my brother have been born normal? If Lenin's brother hadn't be executed would he have gone on to lead the Bolsheviks?
And I am probably not making much sense since I am dead tired.
Still for everything, the good and the bad, I am in my own way thankful for them, for I believe without them happening I wouldn't be who I am today.
Even if they are the most terrible things ever.

| You scored as Psychology/Sociology. You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Psychology, Sociology, or related majors (e.g., Counseling, Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology, Social Work, or other social science majors). It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Psychology and Sociology are both great minors to add to any major. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

I remember doing this before, but yes, I did it again! This time I saw it on Chun Wui's blog, who koped it from Lex's blog... and the list goes on. Blogger is back to normal.
Blogger keeps going through this perpetual cycle of looking really screwed, leading to me wanting to post less, not like there are a lot of very happening things in my life right now, instead my life have been completely engulfed by the great amorphous creature that is the IB programme.
I thought this week would be a sort of slack week for me, instead it's turning out to be quite a busy, tiring week.
Things I need to do:
Bio Practical 13
Twelfth Night Questions with Nic
Japanese Homework
IOP Essay
History IA
History DBQ/Esaay (probably won't do the essay though)
TOK Essay
Economics DRQ-Essay thing
Chinese various homework
Mock IOP (still haven't thought of a topic yet)
ZOMGGGGG. There goes my weekend ):
Oh and here's a link to something I found while trawling the inter-net on yahoo, an old picture I drew that was submitted for a website.

Apparently my blog looks really weird in any browser that is not Firefox... However I use Firefox and anyone who doesn't and complains about my layout can go screw themselves. HAH.
Also for the past few days Blogger has been acting really odd. If anyone has noticed I set up a new blog for Anna, but have yet to transfer things over. There is nothing new there, save the new introduction and (possibly?) new tag line.
I have been sleeping late for the past few days and my mind feels utterly blank now.
Oh and my books from the USA arrived today! I now have my books for Hist IA and EE (:

Gasp, I have just pissed away like 1 hour plus trying to figure out the html for a template, and I'm still not done yet.
Anyway today I saw The Phantom of the Opera during the matinée with my Uncle and Aunt! During the opening scene as the old stage comes to life, the stage crew had trouble with the cloths covering the stage decorations. One section got stuck and remained hanging on the right side of the stage for about a minute before a head popped out and fiddled with the cloth for a few seconds before it fell to the stage floor.
The famous chandelier scene was kind of a let down for me :/ I though it'd be more dramatic and faster somehow, but yes! It was exciting nonetheless.
Again watching Phantom made me side with Raoul and Christine, rather than the Phantom. Sure, I pitied him, but his willingness to kill, his disturbing obsession with Christine, they quite put me off him! They reminded me of this serious paranoid phrase I went through when I was Sec 3 and rejected someone :x
The high notes sung completely blew my mind. I don't believe I have ever heard such high notes being sung before, and they were repeated many times during the entire duration of the play. It pwns MGS girl screaming, if you need a benchmark on how awesomely high it was.
The scene where Christine and Raoul sing All I Ask of You was so beautiful, easily the best scene of the entire musical! There was no grand set to that scene, but it was sung so well and convincingly, the lyrics so moving and beautiful it just blew me away (:

Tonight in a moment of madness, I suggested visiting Orchard Towers to Patrick, who I was out with. After some laughter and apprehension, we went inside.
For those not in the know, Orchard Towers is famous for its 'four floors of whores' and at 9 pm-ish on a Friday night, things were just getting started as we entered. In short it was literally a condensed 'higher class' (if ever such a term could be used to describe the ladies of the night we saw) version of Geylang and the women there were mainly Thai.
Right at the entrance there was a person sitting on a wheelchair selling roses, presumably profiting from some customer anxious to please his escort for the night, looking decidedly out of place and absurd there; but then again so did we, two teenagers wandering around the seediest place in Orchard Road.
There were many women there, wearing all manner of low cut, revealing clothes, walking like they owned the place (a catwalk style of walking), tossing their long hair all over. Some gathered in groups near the entrance of bars, speaking in their native tongue, while others walked about confidently, looking for possible patrons. One had peroxide blond bleached hair, was really tall and wore a short skirt and tight top. According to Patrick, 'her' voice was lower than his. However they all had one common denominator, they were all not good looking.
I am hardly a paragon of beauty, yet goodness! They didn't look that bad to be fair, just average normal, borderline ugly, not gorgeous babes at all. You could see some of their saggy boobs protruding from their low tops and some had no boobs. Pleasant stuff.
They were foreigners, in a foreign land where they are ill regarded by the populace because of their jobs. They sell themselves at bargain prices to men who have little care or concern for them, who invade their most private places nightly. Because of their jobs, they will possibly never find love and at the end of day wind up with some form of STDs which will affect them for the rest of their lives.
Is it supply that produces demand, or demand that results in supply?
