If you're wondering what i was doing in my previous post, i was trying to 'Claim My Blog' in Technorati. It said that i had to post that link here, or put some embedded thing in my blog template (which is why there's that search box in the sidebar now) .. I DID BOTH ALREADY BUT IT STILL DOESN'T WORK.
grr.
anyway, i was just reading that article about blogging in ST yesterday (sunday). LifeStyle page 4-5. Then there was a particular line that made me lol.
It was under a section where they taught you how to make a blog. Then first step was to find a blog server, e.g. blogger, xanga.com, etc. (HA blogdrive is NOT inside. nooobed. lucky i jumped ship), with a brief write-up of each server.
Then this was the description for diaryland(diaryland.com):
" Offers basic funcitons in an easy-to-navigate site. Its cutesy design - think pastel colours and cartoon characters - is popular among bloggers who sTiLL tYpE LiKe ThiS. Good for children or adolescents. "
hahahahahahaha. the writer taking a dig at twits. ^_^ hahahaha. hilarious. ciaoz~

drawing spree
PHOTOSHOP IS DAMN FUN!!
hee. i just got the cd from tianen yesterday, and last night i was playing with it for damn long. i'm currently working on my first project, when it's done i'll post it here. =) it's really super fun.
some random pictures:
Nicole's handphone. The pictures taken appear super super clear. Well, the camera is only 2megapixel but i think it's because the display resolution is super good.
Her branded Guess wallet. Expensive leh.
Anyway, today john was on a drawing spree. dunno why but he just drew alot of random funny stuff. heh.
(the small words say 'CHINAMAN ARMY CO.)
The master artist hard at work....
Now he tried to do a self portrait:
hahahaha. not bad right.
Return of the Chinaman.
He said this was inspired by some WoW character.. looks damn cool to me. haha.
jiang si o.O
MY CHINESE TEACHER. PERFECT LIKENESS OK!! Hahahhaha. but this one the hair abit too short, it's longer and curlier.
Ok btw as i was doing this blog, i was multitasking and working on my project. My first photoshop project is done! I will post it on a separate blog, that one will be used for my future works too =) hehe.

Ahh!!!! So Cute!!! Aiko was a little grumpy today. But at the point of time when the photo was taken, she was a little better. But seriously she's damn cute in this photo la. It's my new HP background pic. :) haha.
Anyway, today for sunday school we celebrated Leon's birthday. =) to be honest, i forgot that it was his birthday. (isn't it on the 1st august) i didn't even know got party until i stepped into class and i saw the cake ^_^
Can someone tell me why there're 8 candles. Oh wait, i just realised. 1 big 7 small. ok. shh don't say 'loser'.
Ooh next to the cake have 2 mystery boxes. What's inside.
Sotong balls and nuggets!! Woohoo!!
Ok this isn't just an ordinary picture of a cake with candles. If you look carefully at the centre, there's this phantom flame that is coming out of no candle. Well, it's actually the 'Happy birthday' plastic sign that caught fire!! haha damn funny la we were like talking talking then someone said 'EH the sign on fire!' Then we quickly sing bday song at x5 speed and leon quickly blew out everything.
Birthday boy cut cake. walao i tell him 'eh leon pose' then he hold the knife in such an awkward position. where got people cut cake lidat one. haha.
Presenting to you.. Mr Sloppy Eater of our class. He's damn sloppy la food drop out of his mouth like nothing man.
Look at the stains he made on the clean tablecloth. tsktsk.
Oh ok, his excuse is that he's drunk. haha. -hic-
That's all i have for sunday school time. Happy birthday leon :) doubt he reads my blog though. oh well.
Lunch was provided because it was BA family day.. i ate the food but didn't go up for the programme as i wanted to study. ended up doing 1-2 questions only. zzz. i need to buck up man. econs exam in 2 weeks
I tried to get jesslyn to take a picture with me, but she refused, had to settle for this shot. heh. Look at her cheeky smile. i wonder what she's thinking.
'hehe i'm so pretty until alan wanna take my photo'
Raylia: I'm a rock star!! want my autograph? hee.
I went home after this, sent raylia to her house first because it was raining and only i had an umbrella. Then when i got off my 133 on the way home, i was greeted by a distinctive odour.
WALAO EH!
So much smoke can! This was at least 10 metres away from the busstop, but because SO much smoke was coming out of the container, it spread all the way to the busstop. Grr. senseless people.*
* refer to 3rd and 4th paragraph.
Ok that's all i have for you. sigh school . sigh. bye.
I sat on the right side for service! haha. usually always sit in the middle. Then because i saw raylia sitting by herself on the right so i went over and pei her. Her shoes very nice sia.
Nice shoes
Nice shoesOh yea, the Carpenter's Tools band came to attend our service too! A bunch of angmohs + asian. (i think he's asian) Then at first they went over to the first service side.. lucky someone directed them over to 2nd service. I think they go there they'll fall asleep. =X
Heh, atticus came in nearing the end of the sermon by Ivin. I quickly whipped out my camera to snap a picture of him. not a very good one though =X but the next one is good. :)

half naked.
ok i'm tired of this.
i do not post half naked photos on my blog. -_-
By standard definition, a male who is half naked means that he is not wearing a top, and just wearing pants / some form of lower garment. This means that he is uncovered from head to waist at least.
to let you understand that, i googled 'swimmers photos', here are some half naked photos
Ok you know what forget it i can't find any more. lol. lazy to find la, find guy's photos also so weird. but you get the picture. THESE guys in the photo are half naked.
i don't wear a shirt at home (erm, this is pretty normal i'm sure most guys will testify to that), and i'm too lazy to put on a shirt then snap a photo, especially when i'm not even taking a full body photo.
None of any of the photos posted on my blog in the last 2 months come even close to being a 'half naked photo'. so quit whining -_-

supreme court
hey yo. today my class went for excursion! haha. jc also got excursion. they call it 'learning journey'. Anyway, we went to the Supreme Court, which is quite near City Hall MRT.
Ok before i start on that, here are some pictures:
Guess who is this. hahaa. it really looks like a skirt from a proper angle.. this shot is quite clear that it's pants, but at that point of time was super funny. haha.
This was on the window of our bus (which brought us from school to the supreme court.)
haha. read the words yourself. self-explanatory.
Then we reached the Supreme Court building.. it's quite grand and nice. Then before you enter have to put your bag through the xray machine thing and walk through metal detector. They confiscated John's deordrant (how do you spell this)! ^^
Sooo.. after some boring talking from our tour guide, we finally went to a cool place.. a court room! yes an actual one. and we're actually not allowed to take pictures but i quickly snapped a few
That small area behind that glass panel in the background is the accused area! It's where all those criminals and whoever stands.
And according to our tour guide, that sicko man who kidnapped the 5yearoldgirl and killed her stood trial in this very same court room!
The front of the courtroom.
Oh yeah that black stick you see is a mike, every table got one. It's quite cool la, all are on. So i was like talking to it the whole time. haha.
This is the 2nd highest floor of the building.. it has quite a nice view of everywhere nearby - esplanade, boat quay, etc.
The glasspanels are inclined outwards - so you can kinda peak over and look all the way down. They are supposedly 'shockproof', so technically if you jump on it you shouldn't fall through. hehe. noone dared to try ^^
Oh oh oh. and we actually got to sit in on an actual court hearing!! damn cool la. we went to sit in on some appeal case (appeal courts are on the top level). Then when you enter must bow at the 3 judges though they aren't really looking cos they busy listening to the lawyer talk.
The topic was damn boring, about some international arbitary laws or something. then some SG vessel got into some legal trouble elsewhere or SOMETHING like that. But i think the lawyer quite lousy, he kept getting suanned by the judges.
But still, he has to be quite good also, he can memorize whether portions of paragraphs are from! crazy one. he'll just go 'please refer to this book, page 56, tab 11, paragraph 3' and then make his point from there.
i can't remember the exact wording or content of the lawyer's speech / judges, but i'll write a transcript for fun.
Key:
LL - Lousy Lawyer
J- Judges (any of the 3)
blackfont - 40% accurate conversation (ok i started this at 70% but with every sentence i typed in the transcript i lowered this. haha)
bluefont - 100% fictional
LL - your honour, the international arbitration laws state very clearly, that any vessel that passes into international. . . . blabla.
J - -says something that refutes LL-
LL - may i respectfully disagree with your honour, and refer you to my booklet, page 124, tab 12, paragraph 3. (there are like these 3 damn thick booklets, and they have like 50 post-it coloured sticker-tabs sticking out of them. blabla bla.
J - something something lala.
LL - may i respectfully disagree, and refer your honours to the prosecutor's booklet, page 56, tab 3, paragraph 47.
(Chief)(who is also old and seems quite blur but damn intelligent)J- er which tab again.
LL - tab 3 your honour. -waits for old judge to flip to correct page- - starts talking-
Now may i refer you to my booklet, page 25, tab 12, pargraph 24 and 25.
(Chief)(who is also old and seems quite blur but damn intelligent)J- er which tab ?
( he damn kuku he like asked this three times throughout the 10 minutes we were there)
LL - tab 12 your honour. blabla. And for my second point, please refer to this other booklet, page 28, tab 4, paragraph 8 and 9.
(another) J - -opens the wrong book. flip flip. - (LL starts talking cos the Chief Judge surprisingly for once found the page first among the 3 judges) - continues flipping, trying to find the paragraph the LL is reading - -tries to act cool-
-leans over to Chief to try to see what Chief is reading - -turns back to the wrong book and pretend to be listening all along-
THIS IS DAMN FUNNY I TELL YOU. me and my friends were laughing at this judge la. hahaa. he flipped to the wrong book then he cannot say 'eh LL stop talking i haven't found it' because he's not the Chief judge.
LL - -realises the laggy judge was reading the wrong page - eh you stupid honour i told you the page already. you think i like reciting all these stupid things issit. tab this page that. damn tiring la why cannot just point. they cannot print the books thinner issit.
J - you unscrupulous LL! you so lousy you still dare to call me stupid honour?
LL - yes you stupid honour, everytime have to talk to polite to you then you talk to me like talk to some minion lidat, so condescending. you think you wear wig very big ah. just means you're balding right.
J - what the hell? you LL i hearby sentence you to death and life imprisonment . -slams hammer- (this hammer has ceased from existence)
LL - haha you noob judge how to have death and life imprisonment at the same time. haha noob la you no wonder your hair drop your hair strands ashamed to be on your head. screw this profession and i dont wanna wear this stupid blue robe anymore and read these stupid thick books anymore bye.
Okok i gtg joel is bugging me to dota cos i told him ill play in 5 mins like 15 mins ago. byee

darnicantthinkofatitle
hmm, before i start, i want to say something.
In case you didn't notice, i like tags, i like comments. SO PLEASE DO!
It's the only way i know people are actually reading/viewing my blog. And i blog so much, and the purpose is to let other people read, so if people don't, i have failed and i'm blogging for nothing. So.. quite sian la :( The hit counter doesn't really help, even if it goes up it may be just some small kid playing with the Refresh button.
Yup. tag me. =)
anyway, my classmate has this super thin phone. i don't think it's very new, and has been around for some already.. but i was just playing with it today and it's really SUPER thin la! It can fit into your wallet i think
If you look at the last picture.. you see that finger next to the phone? YES, it is a FINGER. It looks like a thumb right? But no, it's just my index finger. The phone is so damn thin that it makes my finger look like a thumb!
Heh, and before Physics lecture today my class went to the CC early, and we found a flower. John sportingly struck a pose:
He's wearing a HAIR CLIP in his hair la. hahahaha. damn faggy can.
He's actually holding on to a 'crossroads' signpost.. you know the kind that points in different directions. I have no idea what it was doing at the back of the CC.. but.. haha. it was there.
Oh oh, i just established my new favourite chocolate :) I used to like ferrero rocher alot.. but the bad thing is the flavour doesn't last very long. Like you just pop the ball into your mouth and the 'shiok' sensation is over in a few seconds.
However, this chocolate owns rocher in 'shiok sensation'
RITTER SPORT!! DAMN NICE!!
If i'm not wrong the flavour is dark chocolate with hazelnuts. Damn damn nice la. you can like lick it a bit to savour the taste first, because if you take it out of the fridge, it's unbiteable anyway so you have to wait awhile.
Then you take a small nibble.. and let the rich sensation of chocolate flow across your tongue..
mmmmmmmm. heaven.
(picture was deliberately shrunk. my eyes are supposed to be closed but i screwed up and they are partially opened, so it is shrunk so you can't see. haha. )

anyone want to do my blogskin?
If you noticed i made some additions on the sidebar of my blog. =) i'll update that once a month i guess. and the mystery singer of that very nice song is revealed there too. ^_^ but he really sang super well la. i added a small picture on that entry too. hahaa
oh, and those of you who ask me to change my blogskin -- here's my response:
If you are a good blogskin designer please read this!
1) Those stupid blogskins which restrict your blog view to a tiny box no bigger than what i can make with my index finger and thumb are definitely out. Those that restrict the blog view to one extreme side and/or with a narrow width are also out. Here are some examples: this, this this
Note that i'm talking purely of the blog layout, i'm not talking about the design/blogcontent/ etc.
i don't like those with narrow widths or small viewing area because i like blogging long blogs sometimes, and having narrow widths will make a blog seem excessively long. Also, i believe it is alot more viewer-friendly when the viewing area is bigger.
2) Those stupid blogskins with alot of fancy graphics and black backgrounds and all those 'cool' images are out.
Firstly, a blog should be appreciated for the content, for the way the blogger writes, or for the things he/she posts. NOT the design of the blogskin!! Seeing those stupid messages on some little teenies' (erm, lower-sec) tagboard such as 'ooh i love your blog cos the skin is so nice!' and anything like that really disgusts me - the blog is being appreciated for the blogskin? excuse me? if you want to admire nice blogskins go here la. go visit other people's blogs for what.
Next, having such blogskins will cause a longer page loading time, and also ultimately slow down the speed of your computer. See, i'm being considerate.
3) I want a white background.
It is the easiest colour to match anything with - pictures /fontcolours etc. Black is the other alternative, but pure black isn't that nice. plain white is simple and perfect. Black is only nice with a design like timo's, but he has already done it, so i won't copy him. however, his font size is terribly small, so it erases out the benefit of his nice background ^^
4) GROWL you fussy person so what do you want?
Ok, so if you want me to describe my perfect blogskin , it would be something like this:
Some nice picture at the top. Something like what xiaxue did is super nice. however, she did alot of photoshopping to come up with that picture, so to do something resembling that would be tough. No i definitely don't want some photo collage like giddy's one. Something nice and simple would do actually.. but i have no idea what kind of picture i want.
Side bar can definitely improve from what it currently is. Atm, it's too plain. Something like what xiaxue has would be nice. A personalised one. I mean, not the same as hers, the classic curley font la, but something personalised.
Background can be plain white.
Any good blogskin designer who feels like doing a good deed, and wouldn't mind doing a blogskin for me please contact me. =) leave a comment or something. my MSN is diabteo@hotmail.com
i will give you front-page-size-7-bolded-font credit definitely ^_^
i need to learn how to use Photoshop.
oh, and those of you who ask me to change my blogskin -- here's my response:
If you are a good blogskin designer please read this!
1) Those stupid blogskins which restrict your blog view to a tiny box no bigger than what i can make with my index finger and thumb are definitely out. Those that restrict the blog view to one extreme side and/or with a narrow width are also out. Here are some examples: this, this this
Note that i'm talking purely of the blog layout, i'm not talking about the design/blogcontent/ etc.
i don't like those with narrow widths or small viewing area because i like blogging long blogs sometimes, and having narrow widths will make a blog seem excessively long. Also, i believe it is alot more viewer-friendly when the viewing area is bigger.
2) Those stupid blogskins with alot of fancy graphics and black backgrounds and all those 'cool' images are out.
Firstly, a blog should be appreciated for the content, for the way the blogger writes, or for the things he/she posts. NOT the design of the blogskin!! Seeing those stupid messages on some little teenies' (erm, lower-sec) tagboard such as 'ooh i love your blog cos the skin is so nice!' and anything like that really disgusts me - the blog is being appreciated for the blogskin? excuse me? if you want to admire nice blogskins go here la. go visit other people's blogs for what.
Next, having such blogskins will cause a longer page loading time, and also ultimately slow down the speed of your computer. See, i'm being considerate.
3) I want a white background.
It is the easiest colour to match anything with - pictures /fontcolours etc. Black is the other alternative, but pure black isn't that nice. plain white is simple and perfect. Black is only nice with a design like timo's, but he has already done it, so i won't copy him. however, his font size is terribly small, so it erases out the benefit of his nice background ^^
4) GROWL you fussy person so what do you want?
Ok, so if you want me to describe my perfect blogskin , it would be something like this:
Some nice picture at the top. Something like what xiaxue did is super nice. however, she did alot of photoshopping to come up with that picture, so to do something resembling that would be tough. No i definitely don't want some photo collage like giddy's one. Something nice and simple would do actually.. but i have no idea what kind of picture i want.

a long rant
it is saddening
to want to stand next to you
then to stand next to you
to want to talk to you
but then not knowing what to say
This is going to be a long blog. It'll be filled with assorted rants about things that i'm not content with / unhappy about. I have many things to say, but i think i forgot some, so i'll just extend it another time. but for now, i'll just start typing.
I just realised some things i say may be slightly controversial, so if you're easily offended i suggest you navigate off the page now.
Apparently the hungry ghost festival just started, according to my chinese teacher and seeing many people burning things. the irritating odour of incense /smoke once again pervaded my nostrils (i like this phrase. 'pervaded my nostrils'. haha.) , and revived one pet hate that i had.
Why do buddhists like to burn things?
i know their answers would be something like .. it's to pay respect to their ancestors.. to give their deceased family members things to use in heaven.. to offer to their god dunno what..
Now is this logical? I assume they believe the gods created the world they're living in? They better not say they believe in big bang theory or any scientific theory, otherwise this argument will be cut short by alot because scientifically there's no way burning some paper cars will result in that appearing somewhere else.
We all know that smoke is air pollution. it causes numerous respiratory diseases, and possibly damaging our ozone layer, ultimately destroying mankind. So if their gods created this world, why would the very same gods want them to burn things to destroy the very same world? If they continue burning things they wil just inhale more smoke and die earlier.
And the thing is the things they burn are not even like.. sacrifices like lambs or food or what. (they leave their food on paper plates to be corroded by air and bacteria? not smart), they burn PAPER. Paper with drawings and writings on it! Even a toddler could reproduce something close to that. Want to burn at least burn something cooler la. like.. i dunno. plastic replicas of whatever objects they're 'sending' to their loved ones. this way they can inhale the toxic fumes of burning plastic and fulfil their wish to die earlier.
Ok this following paragraph may be slightly racist, but i'll keep what i say as politically-correct as possible. Ok did i use the term 'politically-correct' correctly. anyway.
- a section has been removed by the blogger due to certain potentially racist comments-
today an ex-SAJC student, lim jun yang (is his surname lim ? the famous guy from Project Superstar la.) came to my school to have a concert. As i'm typing, he's probably grooving to the beat on stage and singing some chinese song. I'm not a fan of chinese songs neither do i know him at all so i didn't go for it. But apparently he's quite a hot icon.
These 2 secondary school girls were walking into my school when i was leaving. There were these a4 size posters of him on the walls.. then as they approached, one girl saw it and squealed. she ran like a typical groupie and her friend quickly caught up. They were gazing at that small piece of paper with junyang's picture and excitedly talking about how hot he is.
COME ON. even if we ignore the fact that it's stupid to go totally crazy and drool over a good-looking singaporean that has some amount of sex appeal, it's even stupider to go totally crazy and drool over a pathetic a4 size paper with his small face on it. I mean, if later at the concert they see him and they want to kiss his feet, go ahead. i mean, we all have our idols ^_^ but reacting like that to an inanimate piece of a tree?
and you know that isn't even the main point of this 3rd rant. haha. ok back on topic now.
It's so sickening when people (especially the principal herself -_- ) refer to ex-SAJC(or SAS) students as 'ex-Saints'. (e.g. "good morning school. Today at 4pm, an ex-saint, lim jun yang , wil be holding a concert blabla etc) (same thing last time when lin jun jie came to perform in my school... those stupid authoritypeople (e.g. principal/deputy principal.. couldn't come up with a collective name for them) keep saying 'ex-saint' this 'ex-saint' that.
Are they oblivious to the most popular bit of St Andrew's merchandise? Now if i ask you, blogders, (blogders = blog readers ) ( defn stolen from xiaxue ) what is the piece of merchandise related to St Andrew's that you would think is the most popular/desired?
If you say school uniform / tie/ books / zareldagoh / notes, nono , you're wrong. (hahahaha. ok zarelda goh is a really pretty teacher in SAS. just playing a fool)
The answer is that ever-so-popular 'Once a Saint, Always a Saint' shirt. It comes in a variety of colours - white/black/navyblue/skyblue/pink/orange etc etc, and i dare say it's one of the most popular items among all the schools in singapore.
I mean, do you see an SJI student wearing an RI uniform? Do you see PLMGS girls wear Cedar Secondary uniforms? Unless it's Uniform Exchange Day, i doubt it.
However, that saints shirt has been worn by countless number of people.. ignoring the St Andrew's Students themselves whom i daresay 99.5% possess at least one of it (i have 3) (the other 0.5% probably lost theirs or sold it), i see so many non-St Andrew's students wearing them! Most of the time they would be girls, who cope them from their boyfriends.
Anyway, don't go arguing about something else that is more popular than the Saints shirt, or say that it's not nice at all and it sucks blabla, that isn't the point i'm trying to make.
My point lies in the text of that shirt. 'Once a Saint, Always a Saint'. I guarantee (plus chop plus sign contract ) that the authoritypeople have heard of this text and know it by heart and know that it's printed on the shirts that is worn by 203719* people singaporewide.
*random number
So why do they keep referring to ex-SAJC students as 'EX-Saints'?
It's like, if you are born in singapore and you have a red passport, then you move to usa to live for 10 years. i'm sure you dont' say 'i'm an ex-singaporean' right?!
UGH. so frustrating. those stupid authoritypeople ought to be shot. and whoever uses that term too. From my memory, at least my SAS principal has better tact and common sense. (belinda charles). I clearly remember many times when she referred to ex-SAS students, she would say e.g. "Mr jimmy phoon, an old boy from our school, is gracing the occasion . . etc etc"
So remember this- there's no such thing as an ex-Saint. You want to refer to people who studied in St Andrew's , they're called 'old boys(girls) of the school' or 'ex-SAJC students (or SAS or SAJS)'
ok i'm going to stop here, won't even bother to think of more things to say because i believe this is quite long already and if i make it any longer you'll get bored of reading.

a damn tiring day
ok today was craaappy. Well, because of an Econs make-up lesson, it took the place of our lunch break.. which meant that we had non-stop lessons from 11:15 - 5:15 !! 6 freaking hours can! Even secondary school also not like that!!
anyway, took some random pictures out of boredom.
The spoils of 06s04. heh. like everyone ate the same thing, 'gangster' chicken rice.
we call it 'gangster' chicken rice because the person at the counter of the chicken rice is an ahbeng la. he's like this big size guy, quite tall and looks quite beefy. then he got the ahbeng face and voice. then he takes the plate of rice and semi-slams on the counter. super ahbeng.
next time if i can i take a picture of him. but he may beat me up so i think better not.
Trying to make millardi the culprit of the multiple plates of chicken rice.
or-hor millardi why you never keep your plates.
Then as some of you may have heard, there was some train problem on the NEL, some technical difficulty. snapped 2 pictures for fun.
The blank tv screen that usually says 'Harbourfront - ## minutes , Punggol - ## minutes'
The TV screen. It says 'TRAIN INTERVAL 6.5 MINUTES'. So long can. i think i suay just missed a train or something, i waited very long.
anyway, to give you the solution to a mystery picture that was posted a few days ago:
Some guessed it was a ghost.. some asked if needed to turn the paper 180 degrees. haha. the actual answer is, it's a man. my classmate Jason drew it.
The man has a funky (weird) hairdo.. and his chin is that pointy thing at the bottom right. The black dot is his eye. The line below it is his mouth.
But it looks like a ghost right!?!
Will tell you all tomorrow who the nice singer is. =) If you haven't listened to it, quick! go download it! it's the post just before this. and also if you are a chinese student, please take the survey 2 posts below!!
bye
