do not read this post!
its just soo... yucks! disgusting. cant take it larh. cos if its what i perceive it to be, i disapprove of it! and its a bad bad choice. you'd best throw it away in an instant!
but of cos before i go to that, its time to recount the adventures i had at driving lesssons.
first lesson ytd. super sucky, cos i stalled like so many times. 1st gear half clutch is quite, sensitive huh. nv release enuff, car dont move. release too much, stall. i think i spent too much time stalling than actually moving off properly! funnily, 2nd gear onwards it was much easier to shift up. today second lesson. better la, finish 2 subjects in a session. cool. now just gotta brake to a halt corrightly.
oh i love shifting down. no need to concern urself with silly half clutches and u get engine braking. wahahas.
eric shimon pek jer are going to commision like when, 2 weeks later or something. thats good. what's bad is that i have fucking CAs very soon! aaaargh! and i havent started biochem! in the midst of anat! and lost in physio!
just to add salt to the wound, insult to injury, other facs are having a bloody mid term break now. while we're all mugging like muggertoads. bleaurgh.
pretty disgusting huh. wait til this: opened msn, looked at jess's nick, gosh! the one time very dicky fella is being dicky! u keep ur filthy paws away from chow! (and its another dicky fella. not the Dick Lookalike). supposed to be in my bloody mentoring grp, cant stand him. poser like fuck. act cool like fuck. and trying to act fag. please lah there are other ppl out there who are confused abt their sexuality and here this fella is, practically poking fun at the queers. oh man, yall out there just havent heard the vj stories yet, it'll make ur skin crrrrawwwwwl. and if you do anything bad to chows i will fucking kill you in the fucking LT or pgp mph (CAs venue, weird) or just about anywhere else. here's an idea, anat, hall, cadaver.
i trust noone from th reads this ahaha. shhhhhhhhhhhh. ahahaha im so bitchy sia. king bitch.
cheers.

2 movies in 2 days. just like this time last year.
its the OSCAR season! so its time to put on the thinking caps and watch movies that arent too easy to watch and require a hell lot of thinking, hmm hmm hmm. last week actually watched 2 shows, fearless and north country. fearless quite wu liao lor, just like any old kung fu show, except that its waaaaay cooler.
north country was good. well paced, plotlines even spaced out. abt some sexual haressment suit in the steel mines of so snowy/snowish northen state in the states, filled with ur everyday obnoxious hillbillies and rednecks. actually not rli rednecks wth m i talking abt, those are texans! ha! anw, the point being that in the steel mines and mills the girl workers were a minority in the worker population, even after the first girl worker started in the mines like in the 70's. (the movie's set in the 80s). sexual haressment was rampant, because the guys were busy being horny fuckers and all.
and the injustice of it all! from the foreman, to the supervisor all the way to the CEO. really sympathise with charlize theron's character. worse, the defendants dug up all sorts of unsavoury details of her past, including her being raped by her teacher passed off as a illicit relationship. what a bunch of fucked up ppl.
ytd watched constant garderner. also another sad show. the actress, same fella as the Mummy woman, was some weird activist. idealistic activist. followed ralph fiennes the diplomat husband who loves garderning to his post in africa. she hung out much at this ghetto city, volunteering with this fag doctor, and stuff until they found out that the big pharmaceutical companies were fucking up the africans! forcing them to take risky trial drugs for TB and stuff, then covering up the ppl who died from the side effects.
the rationale behind it was that drug resistant TB was going to be happen in the near future, the pharmaceutical's scientists predict, and they came up with this drug called dypraxan or something, and for now its the only drug that can cure the resistant TB, tho not without very dangerous side effects. to get it approved, go to africa do some (obviously doctored) trials on the africans, so that when the epidemic comes, they;ll be in a position to earn the huge monies, charing exorbitant prices for the dypraxan
disgusting fucks. just like Roche and tamiflu.
so rachel weisz found out abt it, wanted to collect proof abt it while hiding it from her husband, cos apparently the drug company had ties with the consulate, (the UK was protecting its interests. disgusting too) and she had to do it to avoid ruining his career. went on a road trip to collect evidence, murdered by some killers-for-hire hired by duh.
then ralph fiennes went arnd, did the same, and at the end decided to get himself killed. in a way.
show's abit screwed up, the plot's like 2 small plots lump together. and it felt sooooo long. it so did not feel like 2 hrs.
today watched syriana. easily the most watchable of the lot. havent watched munich yet but im sure thats goanna be swell. tho the plot for syriana's damn cheem, and i was lost halfway thru the show. but at the end u realise its just like the book "confessions of an economic hitman" except here it deals with american energy securities, at any cost, even to the people of lebanon and arabia's liberty, economic development, whatever.
the old emir's retiring, giving his throne to either of his 2 sons, the older one who's a good fella, got a PhD, and has sound economic plans for lebanon (i think) that doesnt involve USA contracts, products, oil companies. but of cos the USA buay song him la, and through an intricate plot involving the public prosecutor for the business law thingies, 2 major oil companies merging, oil fields in kazakstan and arabia, and predator drones, got rid of the good prince at the end of the show. killed him and his wife and daughter in a convoy, using their predator drones and hellfire missiles thingies.
and george clooney looks like sadam hussein! what syriana, iraqia or what la. tho honestly i thought that clooney acted OK only, not fantastic. i feel the one deserving the nomination's the older prince. he acts well. at the end of the show, terrorist win!
hahaha.
think north country;s the best of these 3. and notice they involve the "evil corporations" or "evil governments".
quite touchy issues. btw did something silly. cheers!
You are a MASTER of the English language!
Huzzah. While your English is not exactly
perfect, you are still more grammatically
correct than just about every American.
Others admire the way you speak and could
learn a lot from listening to you. Still,
there is always room for improvement...
How grammatically correct are you? (Revised with answer key)

i just wasted 5 hours of my life and 50 dollars at that. and then felt so thankless and neglected i could have just screamed whaaaa!? of cos i didnt, lest the whole place knows my presence.
some how i just feel that i have the feelings of a girl but i just like girls too. cos im too damned sensitive for my own good, always having doubts abt myself and i just have to feel cherished and wanted. what the hell???? so i guess im a male lesbian.
still. doesnt help that i've looked forward to this day for quite some time. maybe a chance to see her again, maybe talk a tad, just enjoying her company for once. bloody put in alot of effort kay, no reason then go to holland v get stuff out of a random afternoon when i could have been mugging anat or physio or whatevers. for the CAs and final Pros.
its amazing how, in a minute, u make all my efforts seem trivial and a silly thing to do.
dont get me wrong, ur still a good friend, just that i've become disillusioned abt some aspects of it. really disillusioned.
maybe efforts would be better directed to passing driving on the first try, getting my tution kid to finally get bloody optics right, actually getting down to read abit of chaos theory and evolution and most importantly, study for CAs and final Pros. i must get to M2 after all.
bloody fee hikes again. havent u just received a fucking 100mil donation!? make us pay more for fuck? mad psychos. how abt not celebrating some trivial centennial shit and save some money so we can pay less? thank god im a bursury awardee so the fee's aint too much of a burden.
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! i shall not give a fuck abt u any more.
cheers.

crazy lecturer has got 44 slides for a one hr lecture. its 45 mins and we're barely past slide 20.
omg she finally realised it! "you know, at this rate we'll nv finish this lecture."
sitting thru genetics lecture, i just suddenly thought of something.
The beauty of DNA and mutations is that it explains evoluton so clearly. random mutations, leading to a different amino acid seqence, maybe changing the animal's phenotype, be it good or bad, and then the better one naturally selected to pass its new genetic material to its offspring. take for example the bird flu epidemic. for its survival's sake it has randomly mutated into forms that could pass onto different avian species, while other that couldnt have probably died out. recently, because of some of our close proximity to infected birds, the bird flu virus, for its own survival, could have mutated into a form which it could infect us humans, a new host, a new host of oppurtunities for it. its just so obvious i would nearly have trouble believing that there'd be non-believing fundies but there are.
feels like writing GP essays again. but i couldnt go past one paragraph. quite leychey. and if i wrote such controversial topics in GP i'd probably fail, considering the sheer number of fundies who would mark my work as blasphemous. better to write something neutral, like "can small nations have a voice in international affairs? discuss". so sexy that even i so louya can get a2. hahahahahhhaa.
came back from holland v, and i guess that the theory of demand and supply was proven. bloody roses are so expensive now gah! i had to pay top dollar for a stalk. wrapped nicely of course. hopefully she'd appreciate it. ahaha.
cheers.

I've grown up believing in science. it can explain everything, and it is a forever-ongoing process. scientific validation that is. science can explain how our universe is created (big bang theory), the origin of species (evolution) and many other phenomena.
i have finally met people who don't believe in evolution and insist that the earth is less than 10000 years old! omg.
to make things worse, the President of the United States is such a moron, and a fundie at that (and to think he wields all those nuclear weapons! help us! he might just receive a schizophrenic vision as a 'god's message' and nuke the whole world, commiting genocide as per certain books in a certain scipture.)
I always thought evolution was so, duh. how can u refute it. yes i evolved from a monkey, and im damned fucking proud of it. believing in a creator or a 'intelligent designer' is just a lazy way out of explaining the un-explainable when we should spend time+money find out why the proper scientific way instead of wasting everyone's time insisting that evolution's a lie and forcing us all to believe in a priori that is infallible and un-disprovable.
believing in a supernatural being that can save our sorry asses and made us is an affront to our humanity i might add, because according to these fundies, our existence without a belief in such a being is pointless!
our existence is to propagate our species. and natural selection made is so that only us with the best genetic material and phenotypes might survive long enought to pass it on to our offspring. its so obvious! we're not here to satiate some supernatural being's sudden urge to create something, as if we're some whores or what. as i said, an affront to my humanity.
the worst has yet to come. fundies in the united states have decided that evolution is a lie and that the only viable option is some psuedoscience/junk called intelligent design and creation 'science'. and they decide that they must impose their tyrannic 'theory' on young minds by means of inflitrating the education system with religious beliefs! For eg, take a look at that Arkansas lawsuit in the states.
scientific theory should be hypothesized if it can advance scientific knowledge, to explain more empirical data, instead of being used to furthur fundie agendas, as this creationism 'theory' is. Evidence put forward by this camp are all selective and supports all their religious dogma, and evidence that 'disproves' them are conviniently forgotten. quite sad huh.
By no means evolution is perfect, but creationism certainly isnt too. Yes, in fact i do believe it should be taught in schools as a second alternative to evolution IF the proponents of it stop lambasting evolution and find proper empirical evidence for such a creator instead of believing that 'there is creator, and hes so LEET yall cant understand it cos ur n00b, so u must believe it!', or throwing that ridiculous 2nd law of thermodynamics argument at us. or worse, use the ica stones as evidence of a creator.
And now, for the greatest joke of them all. Some creationists even use the Book of Genesis as validation and proof of their theory! (im not insulting christians ok, just the fundies and creationistss. i respect my christian friends and their ideas, even though i might disagree with them) I may as well shake around Harry Potter books as proof that wizards exist. and giants and dragons and all those rubbish.
Just to point out a few facts, according to Genesis, day and night was created on the first day, and the sun and the moon on the forth. Now, any first grader can probably tell you that the Earth rotates and the sun provides the light and heat and warmth which makes 'day'. So, isnt the genesis account kinda oxymoronic? Or that god showed Adam each and every single creature on this planet and Adam named all of them. Then how about the polar bears and seals? they surely couldnt have survived the Middle Eastern heat. and how about the countless insects, bacteria, viruses, that exist today, and those that have yet to be discovered. Oh yes, miracles. miralces can happen, and adam did all of those things! you know what, harry potter's my real good friend too.
These fundies ought to be shot, i think, for spreading such incredulous nonsense. What i feel, and many of my christian friends feel, is that the Bible is a collection of stories that we should draw spiritual and moral lessons from, instead of using it as a physics, chemistry, biology, geology, ecology whatever txtbk.
i could go on furthur, but i shall stop. quite tiring.
cheers.
