Curse of the golden flower does not have a happy ending. Do not watch it if you don't want to see jay chou committing suicide. The bad guy is the only one who survives at the end of the show. Oh, and the woman he was trying to kill too. Ironic huh? The king of mandarin R&B leads 10,000 troops to storm his palace in a revolution and gets owned by moving walls and arrows. Only he survived and actually killed anybody. Only the chrysenthem flowers they trample on are damaged and the cleaners work real fast. They were probably complaining about to to each other the whole time. 'Wa piang, the general Jay damn loser sia, wanna come and revolt also never succeed in doing anything, only break all those flowerpots and chop down one flag.' But the biggest loser by far was the third son who tried to take over the throne with 10 soldiers. Of course they got owned by the king's stygians and he himself got whipped to death with the king's golden WWE championship belt. Of course, there are also gong li's heaving boobs...

I wish I could have christmas day forever. It felt just like old times. Alven, honchan, richard, elroy, nicholas, sherwyn, matthew, kaisiang and soonlong came over to my house to stay over. This time elroy brought the board game 'risk'. It was pretty fun, except that each game lasts like 3 hours. The plan originally was to go ice skating the next day, but the horrible rain, combined with them playing 12 straight hours of risk meant that we spent the whole of boxing day in my house too! The look on their faces when I gave them their presents was kinda funny too. Did alven really lose his old handphone strap? Anyway, these days I figure will be probably the last moments of my life as an irresponsible teen. Soon I may have to work, then army, then university... Hey, there may be some more time for fun after all! Hopefully by then I would have found another game besides warcraft. What the hell, its still raining now. I'm privately amazed that my neighbours haven't been flooded out yet as they were the last time there was such a torrential rain.

So I've finally completed my 2 star kayaking course and I guess now I'm authorized to make expeditions. Its all great fun until I find out that in order for my friends to join me they all have to have bloody stars too. So guess I wouldn't be kayaking much after all. Either way, its one more post-exam goal accomplished.

So far:
kayaking (check)
guitar (check)
driving (exam coming in Jan)
revamp my room
warcraft melee (check)
go out every single day (check)
have great fun at all my chalets (check)
make a new friend (check)
give Christmas presents to my friends for the first time (check..ing)
get a job
find true love
discover meaning of life
read more books

alright, not too shabby. I've got almost half down now. Speaking of chalet, these last 3.5 chalets were very important to me because this could very well be the last time I will be having a chalet with these folks. S17, 2E6, 3E1. I have always tried to participate as much as I can in class activities and in the course of doing so, my classes have very important to me. Especially my secondary school ones. The friendship and comaradie found there simply cannot be easily duplicated. You will realize the true meaning of that when you can say 'ooooooooooohhhhh' and Alyssa can supply the ending 'barracuda!' just like that.

Strange that I've not included TH in that, but I am less worried about TH than my secondary school classes. For classes, we were put together, whether we like it or not, by the school and when school is over, the only thing holding us together is our common identity and our friendship. It is a precious and fragile thing that is just beautiful. TH on the other hand, was formed of our love of i guess basketball and tao huay. And as everyone knows, the tao huay syrup is very very sticky. No shit, I can easily imagine going out for PLan with richard and joshua or going to town with elroy and honchan and alven or swimming with andy or even talking about utopia with them months and even years from now. Oh yea, I've got presents for you guys, very special one... Don't diss it k?

Wow, I just rediscovered my old 3e1 msn groups and was looking through the old photos when I found this gems from back in those days...

Presenting, the work of the moronic principal thp:

Sure, I should maybe freeze at the doorway just to make sure that its off?

Asking us to turn off the tap when it cannot be done is fine. Sticking the sign where the mirror used to be is not.

I regret to tell you that due to a shortage of funds, the boys basketball team will have to be closed down even though you won the zone championship this year. We at the HOD believe that it was just a fluke and we prefer to invest our money in little potted plants that we will hang along the corridors to hit students on the head to remind them that we can do anything we want and that theres nothing you can do about it.

The mangroves in desaru are chock-full of evil, hungry, bloodthirsty mosquitoes. But besides, that, the whole trip was awesome. Too bad I didn't get to try the jet ski though.

Went to the crappy RSAF seminar today. There was only one interesting speaker, and I slept throughout the rest. But hey, who's to complain when theres free food at the end right?

Later I got into a discussion with my mom about the attitudes of different people. It started because during the Q&A section, one question went like this: Can you give us any tips for the pilot selection interview? or words to that effect. Here are the two responses

Interesting speaker: Well, we know that you guys are only 18, 19 just out of school so we wouldn't ask questions on politics, economics and such difficult questions. As long as you can tell us why you would like to join the airforce you should do fine.

Not so intereting speaker: Well, basically you should treat it like a job interview, where you should do some research on your employer beforehand to better know the system and such. So I recommend you take it like a job interview, then translate everything over to the RSAF.

So anyway my mom was shooting the first speaker saying that he was not very specific, and saying that his explanation was analogous to responding 'just put inside the mouth and chew lor' to the question 'how do you eat?' and that the second speaker gave a better answer like 'first you put inside your mout, and grind it with your teeth to make the food particles smaller'.

Of course I disagreed. That was not what he said at all, I think that the proper anology for the second speaker will be if he said 'well, eating is sort of like shitting, where food goes through a hole. Just simply take shitting, then reverse it and translate it into eating'.

What do you think? If I gather enough responses I will be able to explain some things in my next post. If not, my next post will probably be either about kayaking, or how I'm going off to desaru for the next few days and can't play utopia.
