Energy conservation!!!

When your pc screen is all white (like a word page, for example), your computer comsuption is about 74 Watt. When it's all black, the average is about 54 Watt. Because of this, a few month ago, Mark Ontlush wrote an article about the amount of energy that could be saved if Google had a black background instead of white. Considering the high popularity of the website, according to Mark, the energy savings would be about 750 MW-Hour per year. Answering to this post, Google created a black version of it's search engine named Blackle.com ( http://blackle.com) , that works the exact same way as the original version but uses less power. Pass it on to friends, family and discussion list...let's all give our support to Blackle!!

Of course, since our site is popular too =D we'll also change background to black and save energy! SAVE THE EARTH

P.S. my start-up page for Internet Explorer is changed from Google to Blackle.com and Desktop background is now all black...

New Comic Strip
Today started really lousily when i rushed out of home hurriedly to the Scholar's Choice forum at Suntec, and left the admissions pass back at home. Took cab down again and it cost me like something like 18 bucks which was more than the price of buying another ticket into the seminar. Moreover, the seminar wasn't very useful at all, so wasted money wasted time.
Had dinner with yiliang and junjie at ichiban sushi, i must say the stuff there are much better than sakae's.
Oh wells... thot the calvin n hobbe's comic strip was getting old so got it changed! this one's quite funny and i thought everyone would wish that the spell would come true, say BYEBYE to all the homework! But as always, these wishes never come true...
Finally a long-deserved holiday on Monday for us, however, forever-so-on chem dept decided that they'll give us a lecture test on Tues such that we will not "waste" our holiday.

Lol ok here's some random pick-up lines that are probably disgusting but amusing. Lol I strongly recommend you DO NOT try any of these stupid lines because the only thing you're going to get is a slap.

Boy: Have you ever kissed a rabbit between the ears?
Girl: No.
Boy: Would you like to?
Girl: Ok.
Boy: [pulls out pants pockets]

Boy: Would you like to play lion tamer?
Girl: Ok.
Boy: Get down on all fours and I'll put my head into your mouth.

Lol ok I am damn sure that Cheryl Li didn't get any of those 2 jokes but it's all right. Lol she's super NAIVE. I can't believe she didn't get the song 'Bang Bang Bang' on Jie Liang's phone lol that was quite funny.

Lit Week Bazaar was crap. No joke man it was total rubbish. The idea of 'boo the bad performer' became 'stone the random person'. Jie Liang got stoned don't know how many times lol. I got stoned like once. So did Wangting. By our own classmates. But whatever it's for a good cause.

The A03B stall was selling some weird foodstuffs. Lol I wonder if everything at the stall was for sale because if that were the case, I would have been spoilt for choice.

What is the meaning of life? Core question of philosophy which most people wouldn't bother to think about. I just realized that philosophers who actually bother to wonder about existentiality and existence and all that lead really sad and lonely lives. Seriously, think about it, if your life were full of fun and laughter and things to do, would you spend time thinking about why we were born in the first place? Obviously not since you have better things to do than engage in mindless thought.

There are a few kinds of people who wonder about the meaning of life. The first is the depressed person. Depressed, upset and sick of living life day by day without really experiencing much joy, laughter, anger, grief and other feelings, he feels that life is meaningless. He believes that there is no purpose to life and seeks to find out what life is all about besides going through the same old motions everyday. The second type of person is the liar. Which person with half a can of beans for brains would bother wondering about such an abstract question when there's so much shit to do every day?

Fuck.

RJ recently got new female PE teachers. I think they're j3 or something. And I think there's one who's just awesomely cute. Haha she speaks (eh go there lah!) and behaves (sits on a table with 2 legs at awkward unglam positions) like a chao ah lian but I think she's really cute. Haha damn it too bad PE is ending. Anyway not like she was going to teach us anyway. Awww.

It's just 2 seconds faster. We know you can do it. You do too. And no matter whatever is eating you or some shit, uh I can empathize. Sort of anyway. But hey things have got to be done one thing at a time. Yeah so work on it.

We all have got to deal with shit in our lives. Some of us have got more shit to deal with than other people. And no I'm not referring to the random piece of homework issued by the prison warden in b22 from time to time, nor the occasional stomachache that has you running to the toilet. It's about a chronic, on-going and permanent type of shit. Ok most of you probably have no damn idea what I'm talking about but I'm sure a few do and that's enough.

It's not emo-ness nor is it angst. Emo-ness and angst is a temporary fleeting state of depression brought about by a sudden environmental or emotional change and it tends to disappear by itself. Crap. It seems like some of us have everything going for us. Everything but something. And it's that one thing that's ruining it all. I believe everybody has at least some shit to deal with in their life, the difference lying in the amount and degree of crap one has to endure. I can't exactly say I got shortchanged in life and anyway most of you people would disagree with me anyway. I mean there's always a positive side to the coin and you can say that it's all going to make you stronger but that's assuming that you get through it in the first place, which is of coures a very big assumption to make.

It's quite an interesting question whether it's better to lead a life adorned with material possessions but lacking in emotional stability or a life with adequate physical requirements but anchored in spritual peace.

My results are going down the drain
Flowing off to the vast great ocean
It appears I must not be using my brain
And there is much that I have to learn

I got a record low for Chemistry
18 percent is really dreadful can't you see
My Econs I got a big fat U
Damn there are people I want to kill

Well there was to be no distinction for Maths
And only a barely scraped pass for the one with the texts
Extra-terrestrial excellence for English Essay
Neither did the compre marks make my day

It's time to pull up our socks real high
Start scribbling notes on the sly
Or you can just weep and sob and cry
And bid Raffles JC a teary goodbye

Damn my literary genius amazes even myself sometimes. How the heck do I come up with such nonsense. If only I could put my brain to good use. And damn it the lessons tomorrow just reek. Civics, Chemistry lect, Econs tutorial, double Chem tutorial and PE. Well and I've got to take orders for class photo.

I would like to go on a walk again. That night the stars were twinkling and it was quiet and calm and you smelt nice.

I would like to highlight my hair blonde. So it would be mostly black with a few streaks of blonde.

I failed Econs.

Well I've also failed a lot of other things actually. I've failed as a son, grandson, student, friend, football player and most importantly as a person.

I'm sure all of you heard what *** said today. When we fall down, we have to pick oureslves up otherwise our muscles will degenerate and we will not be able to stand up again. Well what if you're too scarred from all the cuts and too hurt from all the bruises from all that falling? What if you just can't stand up anymore?

"Looking at my chem grades is more motivating than listening to her speak." - quote of the day, something which I found quite amusing.

I AM HAPPY! I finally found something that I've been wanting to find for a looooooong time and I've finally found it. Haha ok it was a bit of a letdown when I finally saw it but hey better than nothing. And I saw something which I liked! :]

Thank you very much Crunchhhhhhhhhh! :]


After 2 years plus, it's over. I don't think I have anything left in me to fight it anymore. I'm far too tired and I think I'm just fighting it in vain, trying to halt its plague-like infection but only succeeding in slowing down its impending march. Compared to the person who dealt with shit for 40 years, I know I'm nothing but not everyone is capable of such tenacity and determination. I'm not.

I am feeling quite fucked-up, screwed-up and crapped-up now. My Chem marks were OUTSTANDING. Ok let's not talk about Paper 1 and 2. I screwed up Paper 3 so badly that even I was shocked when I saw the marks.

It isn't easy to do anything when you've got fucking voices in your head. Fucking voices that aren't yours. Fucking voices which are screwing your mind upside down and corroding whatever's left of your sanity.

Some bloody bastard threw my bag on the floor today. Well I assume it's a guy because most girls usually don't do such things. I hope that asshole gets his asshole stuffed with just desserts. Lol that's quite wtf but anyway I hope that piece of fck gets his damn desserts. Anyway I hate it when things like this happen because I don't know who to direct my anger at. Anyway if that stupid j1 son-of-a-bitch does something like that I'll probably just whoop his ass. Depending on his physique, I might need a few weapons but wtf lol WWE has taught us how to use tables and chairs. Anyway since his bloody ass is so big that he has to displace my bag like THAT I hope he gets sores all over his candy ass and gets whooped by The Rock. So there, jabroni. ;]

Anyway now that I'm done cursing, I would like to congratulate Guan Koon on his superb accuracy. LOL he flicked some underwear on the ground into A GIRL'S FACE. LOL. SMACK INTO HER FACE. AND HE JUST LAUGHED. LOL. HAHAHAHAHA.

Saw the fcking hot girl again today. Fck. Fcking hot legs and ass. Ok she wins. And anyway, contrary to popular opinion, most guys think about sex they just don't admit it. So it's unfair to penalize certain individuals. Damn it.

WARNING: BY READING THE FOLLOWING POST, YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT THE AUTHOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CHARGES SUCH AS SLANDER BROUGHT AGAINST HIM. DUE TO THE SHOCKING AND EXPLICIT NATURE OF THE FOLLOWING POST, ALL READERS WITH A WEAK INTELLECTUAL DISPOSITION ARE ADVISED NOT TO CONTINUE.

It's my prerogative.

If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I'd be picking roses for a lifetime. On first sight, it looks like our friend here is madly in love with a girl and is thinking of her everyday and will be thinking about her for the rest of his life, or so he hopes. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that he doesn't really think of the girl that much. According to his declaration, he should get a rose everytime he thinks of the girl. However, he claims that if he did that, he would have to pick roses for life. Obviously he does NOT think of her and hence obviously does not GET a rose, so he has to resort to picking roses to trick the girl. Sigh. What a sucker.

When the betrayed betrays in turn. Now our friend here is obviously someone who grapples with philosophy everyday. If the betrayed betrays in turn, he becomes a betrayer. Thus, it would appear that the person would be a betrayed betrayer. However a betrayer does not betray in turn because he is supposed to betray people anyway. Yet there exists the problem of his being betrayed, which adds weight to his use of in turn. So is this person someone who was betrayed and thus is betraying or is betraying because he was betrayed? Well the answer is obvious. There is no answer.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments which take our breath away. Yes I know, you're all thinking what an apt and beautiful quote this is. THINK AGAIN. This quote is like telling you that distance is not measured by the number of footsteps we take. It's an obvious statement. Each of us require different amounts of oxygen to survive. Hence, it is therefore obvious there each of us take different amounts of breaths. Each breath contains a different composition of oxygen and nitrogen and other substances from the others. Anyway here's some food for thought: A person who is on the verge of dying is usually gasping for air and taking a lot of breaths, whereas a person who is just hanging around is usually not taking as many breaths. Does it mean that the person who takes more breaths is likely to live longer? Life is thus best measured in terms of years.
Now, life is obviously measured by the moments which take our breath away. If your breath is taken away, obviously you won't be living for much longer because you will die from lack of oxygen. Thus, moments which take your breath away is a pretty good indicator of life.

The first step to being smart is to know that you're stupid. Now if all of us admit our stupidity, is it actually smart of us or stupid of us? If you say it is truely the first step to being smart, well you sure aren't going to get anywhere beyond the first step because if you're stupid, you're stupid, you can't be smart. Yet if you refuse to admit that you're stupid, you're actually being stupid because you refuse to admit the truth. Paradoxes.

Let's go get ourselves some babies. LOL all male readers please be alert, this is obviously a mating call by Coco C****, aka cereal girl. Now what does she need in order to get a baby? Well obviously she needs a guy. And the guy must obviously be drunk. Or insane. Anyway, she'll get a baby in 9 months.

There you have it, the unveiled meanings of quotable quotes.
