Why do dragonboaters bring their paddles around?
$1,000,000 question.
bet you must've noticed the trend..
you'll see the whole gang walking around in shopping centres with their weapon rested on their shoulders..
wear NUM singlet, flip flops gai gai.. machiam 走路有风..
fwah so impressive hor? NOT.
seen any golfers recently carry their golf clubs walking around on their shoulders??
or does bill gates rest his Windows 7 installer on his shoulder and go shopping?
or noticed jenson button carry a wheel on his shoulder?
think its so cool. think again ok?

taking insensitivity to a whole new level..
The latest trend is to take a picture of your semester 1 dean's list and plaster it on your computer as a wallpaper. Hell, why not print it on a tshirt and parade in school? Dean's list big deal? zzzzz...
On top of posting on Facebook how freaktastically well you performed for X^n midterms.
I'm sure we all really care about it.
big joke!

No more labs for sem 3!!
hurray...
cant believe my luck for crystallization cuz both of my compounds could be recrystallized using water as single solvent... to think i actually lost sleep over it the "weird" solubility.. falalalalalala...
amazing... and i dun really care that i missed the opportunity to learn how to do 2 solvent recrystallization.. :P
a lab report to complete though... oh well... =)
while we're on the topic of lab and reports, seems like the chemistry dept is getting quite particular about copying peers/seniors reports.. lol.. about time?? what took them so long... rofl.. thankfully i'm only left with 1 last CM lab report and then its adios.. i mean, who can actually stand not "refering" to various sources?
think about it...
do it yourself, take ~6 hours (just an analogy), get B
make unethical references, take ~2 hours, get A
you don't need a genius to work that out...
IMPT note: while you can advertise on IVLE to pass your CM lab reports to whoever buys your book, Never, Never advertise to sell them... hahaha keith.. you'll get your ass hauled up to the Chem dept and warned..
be warned.
anw soon huat crashed fluids today.. now he understands what a cheerful environment chem eng is...

Punctuality
What's up with the world.
it gets seriously frustrating when people are late.
i'm not talking about 5-10 mins.. those are overlook-able (no such word, yes i know that) cuz maybe you could get multi-combo-ed with red lights while driving or the bus driver is trying to prevent bus bunching (i need to bitch about this another time).. - if you're the waiting party you can jus head to the loo or get a drink..
Nooooooooooo. I'm talking about 30 mins, 45mins, HOURS late. LIKE REALLY LATE. Stuff like waking up late, sleeping late etc, just a load of crap.
I still believe punctuality is a virtue. i dun think i've been late by >30 mins ever. its just horrible and it wastes my time.

damn those corrupted malaysian traffic police!
omg i cant believe its the SECOND time i got busted for stupid offences.
the first time, it was no seat belt.
today, no headlights.
crap. its like mistakes every learning driver wouldnt forget..
normally people get caught for speeding at insane speeds in jb.. i'm thinking it must be really gay if people ask me about my brushes with the malaysian tp
"oh i got caught for seatbelts and headlights" - GAY
oh crap who bloody cares.. everything there can be settled with cash; RM60 to be precise.
dinner was manhattan fish market - RM60 for 2 pax.. essentially i treated those corrupt bastards to another dinner! =x
came back and watched the russel peter's video, and now i'm feeling so much better! hahaha..

Laugh out loud at "I Rock"
listening to class 95 in the morning & evenings is actually quite enjoyable..
morning there's VEN, glen and FD.. evenings there's jean and tim... [i have no idea why blogger CAPS the word.. as though it is programmed to do so... fwalalalalala =x ]
the blend of crude and witty jokes tend to identify with me.. (warning: extremely not suitable for bimbos)
battle of the sexes during car tunes is funny.. esp today's..
amanda vs edwin, and so amanda manged to shout her name first, thus getting the opportunity to answer..
cuz she did it so quick, she added "i rock"
though the reality was, she could rock at shouting her name first, but she sucked at answering the qn..
seriously, it was hilarious..

Blurness..
oh man! completed the gem assignment but forgot to submit it online.. 10% gone! crap...
somehow i vaguely recall submitting it!! damn!
OH well... nevertheless, looking on the brighter side (which i'm now really great at), its a gem.. so if i cant ace it, i'll s/u it!
hahaha.. no prob!
plus, there's no way in hell i'm ever gonna forget to submit another assignment, since i subscribe to the Once Bitten Twice Shy adage..
come to think of it, thankfully it isnt a core mod :PPPPP
diana's bdae was fun.. wiiiii, mahjong etc... excellent finale to 3 weeks of slacking.. =x

irony...
as predicted, i screwed my thermo mids.. haha.. no surprise there because i knew it the moment i saw the question and my mind just blanked..
its funny how i aced the fluids mid which was 9 hours after f1 raceday and yet, the test furthest from it, i fumbled..
and hence, the irony.
i guess that's life's way of screwing with you.. haha..
BUT, that said, its all right...
the Kenneth Teow in sem 1 would whine and get depressed for being average (or in this case below avg).. i still remember PC1431!!!
well, not anymore..
life goes on!! i know that now =) but crucially, life is more than results..
So What If I Screwed a Midterm? i derive satisfaction in more than simply results now!!
hehe... (cant believe i was smiling as i typed the question above.. retarded.)
siblings..
well sometimes they just drive you up the wall don't they?
and then at times, they're great fun to have around.. especially when they do ultimately stupid things like getting a ear pierced and then getting ticked off by dad and mum.. *and you watch and laugh..
lol..
or when you're feeling bored, just annoy them as a source of entertainment.. =x
and you can do really silly and embarrassing stuff with them, like sing gibberish songs with randomly made up lyrics.. well at least for me i cant do that outside.. rofl..
but its definitely not fun when they fart. period. LOL.. sometimes i jus wanna strangle him.. or when they start acting like spoilt brat and fight for every and any single thing.. like food, the car, tv, fan, and x^100 additional things.. some you probably can think of, and some you won't even in your wildest imagination..
to top it off, when they engage in shouting matches with parents and den you cant concentrate on what you're reading..
well, they're already there, whether you like it or not.. instead of making ur life miserable, accept it and live with it.. there's fun to be derived =)
so anyway diana's bdae is coming up..
if you see this, happy 21st!
and edmund, dun so emo ok? :P hahahahahaha..

Corny jokes for the day.. =x
tuned in to class 95 on my way back from tuition, i think the DJ was timothy.
I LOL-ed at 2 consecutive corny jokes..
here goes..
i think the song title went by Hung Up or similar... So the trivia qn was: what happens to people who are quick to hang up..
I was thinking along the lines of giving up easily..
yea but in fact, they have low phone bills.. diao.
and then today's a sunday, so some people could be playing golf..
Followed by a reminder to bring 2 sets of pants..
just in case you get a hole-in-one..
wah damn corny until hair stand.. - but good laugh.. lol

Wow.
Remember I sold $2,200 tickets via paypal? Well on race day, I met up with them and had a drink after the race. Thus explaining the $20 champagne.
Well, they're from UK (Birmingham), Kevin and Jo, extremely friendly!!! - they nearly missed the race because he thought it was at 10pm! :S
So I bought drinks and asked them for dinner on Friday, just before they would leave. (after returning from Phuket)
But oh my god I never expected dinner to be DINNER (full caps). Though they said they'd pay, yea, but $540 for dinner? Never!
So we talked, and I could visit during SEP next autumn! wootness! Saw a pic of their house, and it was like old english, countryside, and wow! (and they have chickens, a farm, and even bee hives for their own honey!! :o)
Un-freaking-believable.
No more procrastinating for SEP. I NEED TO GO TO UK!!
Fate's a funny thing. I'm glad I didn't back out simply because it was an international transaction and that setting up paypal was a tad troublesome. =)
haha and I sent them off at the airport too!
