MRT and cheese

I'm still in exactly the same phase as I was on Friday (actually it's Displacement = 0).

The thing that triggered this relapse had to do with MRT trains. It's not that I couldn't find a MRT station that started with "G", it was something else. Something that I shared with my juniors a few months back. And to see this appear again before my eyes triggered this relapse. (It's possible to guess what occured in me the instant before the relapse).

It's like holding back a whole bunch of crazy mobs with a barrier, and for them to push it over and cause a stampede, stamping over many people and seriously injuring others.

From a book I'd read:
"The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese."

Maybe I need to vomit the old cheese that I ingested ...

The completion of a hiatus.

I did say in my previous post that I will be posting today right? (I wonder how many would see this though?)

Right now, my mind has been hit hard by several matters and words said to me. After the Prelims yesterday, I found the time to take a long hard look at myself, and everything that is in my mind. They say you can say it with music, and I thought about the kinds of the songs that I have, in my iPod and handphone. Just gonna quote some of the song lyrics out:

"Remind us all of what we could have been" What could we have been?

"All that I feel is the realness I'm faking" for what?

"Maybe in time you'll change your mind" Really?

"And I'm sitting here thinking I messed the whole thing up, up, up" :-(

"You're so hard to forget" I tried, so hard ...

"I'm just a little too not over you" A little or is it really a lot?

And I haven't even gone to the Chinese songs yet. Here's just one of the few Chinese songs that I sing when I am feeling down due to ...

杨培安 - 爱不能从头


Actually I was feeling OK nearer the end of the Prelims. But a line from someone set this who chain of emo-ing in me. This emo-ing is like a relapse, like I have a history of stroke and I have a relapse and the stroke paralyzes half my body.

"This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside" or is the earthquake in me self-induced?

"There is a drug that cures it all" I would really want to have this drug, please?

"I gotta turn this thing around" Can I do so in time for the O' levels?

Or maybe for now I should go watch a movie. What I have in mind is Year One. Just a quote from the trailer: "So who's with me?"

A hiatus for the Prelims

This is to formally announce that the owner of this blog will officially go into a hiatus here, from the 4th of August 2009, and will only return to post by the 28 of August 2009. That means that in this period, you readers will not be seeing any new posts.

That means that by 28 August, I will have many good things here, so be sure to return by then! Until then, study hard and study smart, everyone!

Stupid Blogger

Only when the Blogger interface shows up properly in Firefox, then I would continue blogging. I refuse to use IE for security reasons and the Blogger interface is botched up big-time in Firefox. So I owuld have to wait until the Blogger interface shows up properly in Firefox before I continue blogging.

Call it a hiatus if you like, I will resume blogging when Blogger fixes its interface.

Just FYI, I'm using the computers at the public library to type this.

Electrifying Connections Competition 2009 (To be continued ...)

This post, which will be about the Electrifying Connections Competition, will be continued probably tomorrow. My eyes are starting to curse me and my legs are nudging me towards the bed ...

Study Groups

I am looking for people who would like to study with me i.e. form a study group or something like that. The few requirements I have are as follows:

1. Willing to put in effort to study
2. Not disruptive/annoying to a great extent

Basically, it means that anybody can form a study group with me. So all you have to do is to let me know of your intentions to study with me. That's all, and I would consider it. And hopefully we can work out a plan.

So now I'm waiting to see who would like to study with me. Would you?

Make It Mine - Jason Mraz

This is the third song for the Music Monday series for July. As I've said, these songs for July all have one thing in common. Can you guess what is it?

Without further ado, today's song is Make It Mine, by Jason Mraz. The lyrics are in the video below and with that, enjoy!

My daydream

It's been forever since I last daydreamed. Today, I had a good opportunity to daydream, after I completed my Biology Test Paper. So here's what I daydreamed about, with all the key information taken out, so by filling in the blanks, you can figure out what I dreamed about. The first blank is filled for you.

Today, during Biology lesson, I dreamed about (1) me being with (2) ___________. The setting was at (3) ________________, and we were (4) ___________ ______ ___________. Along the way, we were having a nice (5) ________________. But before I could (6) ___________ ______ ___ ______ ___, the dream was over (i.e. the Biology test was over) . If only ...

Can you figure out what I dreamed about?

Handlebars - Flobots

After today's English lesson that passed by interestingly, I felt more compelled to put up today's song, that is, Handlebars from Flobots. Before I forget, the songs I'm putting up on July have something in common, something that makes me like these songs more than others. Can you figure out what this is?

A clue: it has nothing to do with the words themselves! Meanwhile, enjoy the song!


Lyrics to Handlebars [Flobots]
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

Look at me, look at me
Hands in the air like it's good to be ALIVE
And I'm a famous rapper
Even when the paths are all crookedy
I can show you how to do-si-do
I can show you how to scratch a record
I can take apart the remote control
And I can almost put it back together
I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
I can tell you about Leif Ericson
I know all the words to "De Colores"
And "I'm Proud to be an American"
Me and my friend saw a platypus
Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took
I can do anything that I want 'cause, look

I can keep rhythm with no metronome
No metronome
No metronome

And I can see your face on the telephone
On the telephone
On the telephone

Look at me
Look at me
Just called to say that it's good to be alive
In such a small world
I'm all curled up with a book to read
I can make money open up a thrift store
I can make a living off a magazine
I can design an engine sixty four
Miles to a gallon of gasoline
I can make new antibiotics
I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
I know how to run a business
I can make you wanna buy a product
Movers shakers and producers
Me and my friends understand the future
I see the strings that control the systems
I can do anything with no assistance

'Cause I can lead a nation with a microphone
With a microphone
With a microphone

And I can split the atom of a molecule
Of a molecule
Of a molecule

Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all healed of their lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like 'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command

Because I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
And I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope

And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebars

Japanese Bullet Trains

The other name for the Japanese Bullet Trains is the Japanese Shinkansen trains. I was flipping through the Physics textbook when I came across the above. The next thing I knew, I was reminded of one of my classmate. I mean, take a look below:

Shinkansen ~~ Ching Ka Shen

Just wanted to add on (for fun!) that the bullet trains in Japan work because their underlying principle is based on using electromagnetism to cause repulsion, hence cutting down on friction (save air resistance of course!) .
