So i lied

Yes yes I know, it's not after spesh 2 yet...but I decided to recap the two exams today =]

Today, woke up at 6.30, read motivational note I wrote to myself the night before. "Do your best, it's not regretting anything that counts" -> huray for mediocrity! XD

And mediocre it was. English was ahem...not that cool. I wrote about 4 pages 1 paragraph each for text response and language analysis (HOMG HOMOSUPERSAYAIN ^_^) but only about 3 or a little under for context. And alot of it was...incoherent. Yeah, I failed bad >_>" I found it quite saddening that my entire year of striving for awesomeness in this context that I actually liked had to end with such a wet firecracker of a bang =[ But I guess there's not much point worry about it now ^^

Anyway, inspired by viv's blog, I also decided to find a picture that embodied my attitude towards the coming exams.

Gah, right, Spesh Exam. Well, iuno about you other schools, but us MHS kids looked upon this spesh exam as Darth Vader might look upon ...an ewok....from the Death Star. Personally being a relatively average MHS kid, after reading it, I simultaneously realised that the exam was aceable and that it was likely I would make some noobzor mistake and again the elusive 100% would slip through my fingers =="

So I did the stupid exam, and finally managed to convince myself I had a chance of aceing...and then I walked into the happy group of asian kids that I call friends and all hope went out the window =_=. Lost two marks...or three if they don't count consequentials. Cursed negative sign...if only my hand had slipped huh =p

Anyway, that's it from me for now =] Good job everybody ^__^ VCE kids, just think; no more english...EVER!! BWAHAHAA!

"If you give up as soon as the pieces don’t seem to fit, you’ll never get anywhere" - something I learnt from playing Tetris XD

One Down, Eight to go =]

So I had that Chinese oral today that I've been dreading ever since the pro-er Chinese people went through theirs last year =_= Surprised at how many MHS boys do Chinese, never knew there were so many in year 12 haha. Well I guess it went passably, but you never know with these funny emotionless examiners >_>"

In case of you guys are having a little bit of trouble filling your daily procrastination quota…

Ways to procrastinate before exams:
Play piano

Teach somebody how to play Blackjack

Subsequently lose to said pupil in Blackjack

Play Counter Strike. Feel epic for flashbanging like four bots in five minutes

Place a trampoline near the telephone in case people feel the need to bounce while talking.

Do the nut bush on aforementioned trampoline.

Go on facebook

Move every appliance in your kitchen to a new spot. Just because. (Actually the microwave was dominating the preparation area, made the entire space seem closed off from the rest of the room!)

Play “The Space Game” until eyes feel heavy (http://www.candystand.com/play/the-space-game)

Get a blood nose and feel proud that the fragility of your body is likely inversely proportional to how smart you’ve become during this year

Attend a birthday party

Walk in circles reading Chinese notes and looking up words in a Chinese dictionary

Go to Chinese Oral

Read manga

Listen to my music ! ^__^ I bet barely anyone knows theres about 30 songs in the ninja on the left XD

Get stuck behind a tram on a single lane road

Drive on a freeway

Eat grapes

Play Halo 1 – Keyes on Legendary. Complete in under 25 minutes.

Stare at a spider web in the garden for 10 minutes

Tetris

Ponder the meaning of life

Watch Family Guy

Exercise

FINALLY write an invite list for a certain belated event – hows a BBQ? ^__^
--------------------------------------------------
If none of this works for you, maybe it’s time you started studying =] By the way, if you didn’t notice, these are all things I myself have done over the weekend haha.

This is probably last post until after spesh 2. Good luck everybody! Happy nerding! XD Remember, even though it hurts now, it'll be worth it in the end ^^


“If you get up one more time than you fall, you will make it through.”

Fain would we linger...

But certain teachers might not be eager to keep us after this morning (DID YOU SEE THAT HUNGY ! I DID THE TITLE-BLOG THING TOO! ^_^). I'm really going to miss it in about four weeks. I think its kind of sad I feel I'm going to look forward to going to school for exams, just so I can be in the place a few more times ^^"

Last official day today (for anyone who's interested in wagging exams) =] Ran around being a bit of a camwhore, trying to grab as many memories as possible. Made a few, probably lost a few too (little vincent dammit where were you! ;_;). The final assembly was awesome, will put youtube link if I can find one. Anyway I was going to upload a couple photos from today, and try a few more on fb later ^^



“Life's a climb, but the view is great.”

Time Flies

So it seems like its only been a little while since I last blogged, but looking at the dates it seems my maximum four days for non-blogging are already over >< So sorry haha

Firstly, christmas is coming and I want a rocket ^__^

In other news, it's last day of school tomorrow and I'm feeling quite nostalgic. It's funny that goodbyes often bring out the best emotions in people =] After tomorrow's rushed two periods of shirt signing, Mr Wood trying to find all the pictures of Muqi in and around his office, and the final assembly, all us kids will be off to our little study hermitages to bring back good results for the school.

Time. I wish there was more of it. Even just now, as I realised the length of time between my blogs I lamented its loss. Those hours I spent not blogging is time I will now never be able to spend with you =[ Isn't it tragic? XD

But really, time is a terrible thing. It always seems to sneak by when things are going good, and when you realise it's there, your fun is ruined (much like some of the shifty kids in dodgeball today, I totally suck at that game ><). It's bit hard to treasure it when, so young, we have so much of it left. Then again, it's a total pain in the butt when you're trying not to fall asleep in class >_>"

I want a timeturner, like in Harry Potter. Someone was telling me that you really can go back in time and change things without destroying the universe, but I was kind of zoned out and didn't really understand. Maybe if I ever get a time machine I will hit myself for not paying as much attention.

I guess in some ways I do want to go back in time. Back to the familiar faces and places in year 7. Just to relive all the things over again. Not to say I wouldn't try to change some of the things hahah, but what can you do? (except build a time machine? XD). I suppose, like I think many are, I'm scared of what the future holds. I want to cling to the familiar, what I'm used to and comfortable with. Can't really say I'm not that kind of person =_=
However I can't go back, and I guess it'll be quite pathetic if I keep trying to live in the past.

So I'll embrace the future with a full tilt rugby tackle. Next post I'll see if I can write down some plans for post exams, so you can all bag me and nag me until I do them ^__^

Anyway, if you cbs reading this post, here is what i bsed in summarised form:
I want a rocket.
I want time.
I hate losing time.
Gimme a timeturner.
Insert indecisive space filler
Steve has spoken =D

Blah and lastly to any MHS boys reading this, thanks, it's been a great three/four years with you guys ^^

"Life goes by once. Don't waste a minute of it."

Blup

It's weird how you feel lazy at the time where hard work counts the most =_=

The tree outside my window really needs to be destroyed. It ruins my view of the park =[

Nerding is taking its toll, droopy eyelids are now the norm. I hope this is worth the trouble =p

Ah well, not long to go! Jia you everyone ^^

“It is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well.”

SAC-less

[I have spent about 30min each day on the above website winning money in Texas Holdem Poker. My daily dose of probability revision XD]


Hallo Hallo! ^___^ Ok so today Mhs kids had our last english SAC. EXCELLENT? I KNOW YEAH XD

Anyway yes, now that they're over though I've kind of started thinking about leaving school and whatnot. Have to say though, though it's going to be a bit sad, I'll make sure I work harder to keep old friends =] AFTER EXAMS PARTY OK GUYS ^^

*Sigh* so yes. The year is coming to a close. The curtain is falling. The final die is about to be cast...

I sound so emoy hahah XD Come on guys, this is going to be AWESOME XD Massive party time after exams, and then get to go to a whole new part of your life in uni ^_^ Sure you can be a little sad.. but I think in this case good outweighs bad =] It's not like we can't all stay in touch after school, what with this wonderful internet and all XD

I think it's not really the end. It's the start of something awesome =] Remember old friends, but don't forget to un-sad yourself for long enough to make new friends alright? XD

"Those who only look to the past are certain to miss the future"


SO ANYWAY I FINALLY PUT NEW MUSIC LIST! THERES LIKE 30 SONGS YEAH SO YOU ALL WON'T GET BORED WITH THAT ANY TIME SOON ^^

ALSO! I've recently discovered the tiny mindless bitesized flash games from http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal. They're pretty simple, but it's good work, and the music is very nice ^__^ Respect for anyone who can get above 6k on the umbrella car jumping game =]

Recently I have rediscovered my love for the Pokemon theme song. Good on you balwyn people for playing it on muckup day XD

Also started new anime (which is kind of not cool in the middle of nerdtime), its called Soul Eater ^^

Kind of want to watch 500 days of Summer and Up. Must also watch Friends, BigBang theory and Scrubs after this is all over =p

And yes, sorry bit late between posts, last two SACs were a pain in the bum =[

Study hard guys, and good luck!! Final exams around the corner =]

>P.S. 10 points if you can guess where the Jimmy Cliff song comes from ^^

Notice

> Four new songs on the ipod over on the left, because somebody seems to think they're not enough already >3 Only four more though, >_< sorry! I will find more when I have time later ! ^__^ If you really really have time though, I guess can go look for Madasun - Walking on Water.

> Last night was lol. 70 pages of Mylifeisaverage and 0 work done XD. Fruit of my labour is 4 pages of copy pasted awesomeness ^_^

>·For example:
Today, I was thinking about the expression 'revenge is a dish best served cold'. Then I considered that 'revenge is sweet'. I've come to the conclusion that revenge is ice cream. MLIA

> “Life's a climb, but the view is great.”

So there was supposed to be a title...but I can't think of one =_=

Hello there everybody ^__^ Hope you're well! XD

Has it been long since we last talked? Not that bad hey? See, the whole non-comittal relationship is working bahah =] At least when I talk I don't shutup for awhile so it kind of makes up for it XD

Anyway so today I had Zone Athletics Comp in the "International Athletics Track"....in Meadowglen =_=" Like 1 and a bit hour bus ride there and back man >_> Massively draining AND I had to get to school by like 8.15 haha

Ack so what was special about today? Well today I was reminded once again of the important of effort and drive in life. And also that we must value and nurture the skills we've been given if we are ever to succeed. Why do I say this?
My self esteem got bodyslammed today =_="

Ok so thats not totally true; I still won four medals, and since they're all equal size, the gain of shiny object is the same. But you see the thing is, last year I got four 1st places, and this time around I lost my two favourite events =[ So now my medal ribbons are like red blue red blue...I guess it's better looking than all blue, but I wanted to run at least one...normal sprint this year >_> The 400m is not a sprint event okay, its like...an event that is short enough, so that people THINK it's a sprint, but if you actually sprint the whole way you die about halfway...well..I do XD

BUT I DIGRESS! BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND
Lately I have come to believe that drive and determination mean everything to future success. Nothing's easy in the real world, and no matter how good your actual skills are; there will come a time when you are bested by someone else (as I watch the all black Olympic 100m finals I can't help but laugh at my chances =_="). I think it's important to start working hard now, not just academically, but on relationships and life skills, so that later on in life we'll have an advantage over the nubs who didn't bother =] I think I've already sort of wasted several opportunities in life, so I guess this is my personality's reaction to these experiences (according to Le Chatlier's Principle of course =]). So the advice I want to give today is this: Milk those chances for all they are worth. They'll lead to more chances, great things and ultimately I think a better life. =]

Besides giving you a compeditive edge, I believe that doing or achieving something at a time in our lives when our mentalities are still forming is very beneficial to later life. I think a few studies have shown that kids who are popular/successful in school life tend to go on to good things later on. Not that the people who perhaps are not can't. But I think its more of a case that they prevent themselves from doing so.
By being awesome and involed in early school life, we grab social, learning opportunities by the udder and milk them for all they are worth. This, I think might lead to higher levels of confidence in said milkers, allowing them the self belief to take more and more of these chances. As it says in our MHS diary "Opportunities multiply as they are seized" - Sun tzu.

Conversely, if you don't take these opportunities, they will not multiply. In fact, they'll whither and die out, and when you finally do figure out you want them, they're long gone. Going back to the milking metaphor I guess its like taking so long to decide to milk the cow that it's dead before you decide to begin. You're laughing now I guess lol, but I'd bet any cow that I own in the future that its happened to more than one person. =[

Take every chance that's offered to you guys. You won't regret it. (ok but don't do drugs =.=)

Basically, this whole mini essay that was cobbled together in about 3 minutes is my advice to you guys. Be like Kegs, conducting Waterloo house music, or like Bill, who took a shot with Chem Olympiad and is now like...even godlier than before XD But apply this theory to everything in your life, not just academia or music! Jump into uni life, make new friends, go places, be AWESOMER ^__^ Don't waste this chance at life we've got =]

Ok so I think I've distracted you guys from study for long enough now =]

WHY HELLO AGAIN WORLD =]

Since today at lunch Hungy asked me when I was going to blog again, I've decided to put the next phase of my plan for world domination into action. Namely, making a SECOND POST XD
Did you miss me? ^^ I hope you did, because I missed talking to myself on the internet tremendously >3

Ok, so the plan was to leave you guys hanging for awhile, so you wouldn't come to expect daily updates from me. This way, we could continue a nice, noncommittal loving relationship without any dodgy suspicion about what I was doing when I wasn't talking to you =] Obviously I'm just worried that I might distract you all from your precious precious ENTER scores o.< ..Speaking of cadets, Oj if you're reading this, update more! I miss your blogs ^__^

At least now we all understand each other with the frequency of blog thing right? So no hard feelings ok =p

ANNNYWAY today us cool state school people had first day of term four. WHICH WAS AWESOME IF ANY OF YOU LUCKY PRIVATE SCHOOL PEOPLE WHO STAYED HOME WERE WONDERING >3 Ok so my class got like...4/5 trial exams back, plus a methods and spesh SAC rofl. Was quite an assault on the self esteem >_<" I guess I did...passably, only English is wtf domination hahah! Need to write more practise essays =_="

Apart from that there was nothing really special about today, except that we started singing practise and had our second last year 12 assembly. Feeling somewhat nostalgic about it all you know, finishing school and everything. =[ HAHAH actually midway through Ludo's speech about last days of year 12 i asked Bill if he wanted to sneak back into bhs with our old laptops and try to blend in to the year 7 alp class XD Do you reckon would have worked? Didn't think so ><

Any ideas for muckup day anyone? :O

This post is getting a bit fat I guess, so I suppose I should leave it here =]

> QOTD - “I’ve found that the more I practise, the luckier I get”
Thought it was fitting given what I want to do with english =_=

> I use emoticons too much when I type haha, effects of the Internet ? XD

> The Pope has it but he does not use it.
Your father has it but your mother uses it.
Nuns do not need it.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has a big one,
Michael J. Fox's is quite small.
What is it?

Enjoy working that out everyone =] I promise you it is not sick ^^

> An lastly, I think I've found an outlet for all those funny pictures I've found XD


ps. answer to the riddle is in the comments, Congrats Little Vincent for putting it up ^__^

HAI, Can has stdio?, Visible "HAI WORLD", KTHXBYE

Hello there ^_^ I'm Steve! Nice to meet you =]

I've decided to start this blog because of a lifelong admiration of blogger friends, a 1am spurt of motivation and of course to further my plans for world domination. Hopefully that doesn't freak you out too much, because admit it, you wouldn't mind unlimited control over the world either XD

Anyway, I'll be posting random thoughts I have up here, observations, good jokes/riddles, opinions and maybe some stuff that actually goes on in my life =] Since I'm just about to graduate from highschool, hopefully soon I'll be rocketing off to much more interesting posts in a few months XD

Once there are more posts in this blog, I think you'll probably notice that I say the word 'anyway' wayy too much. But apart from that hopefully you'll get to know me better =] Maybe I'll even change a bit because of this blog, and as I get older and smellier =p

Pah, anyway I think I'll leave it at that.













Ok who am I kidding XD

Simple Section:
SO LIKE I WAS JUST TALKING TO STOOF AND SHE TOLD ME TO WRITE ABOUT ROCKETS (both spaceship and the vegetable) AND THE IDEA STRUCK ME! WHY NOT MAKE ROCKETS(spaceship) OUT OF ROCKET(vegetable) ^__^
Why would you do that you ask? XD Because rocket(vegetable) can totally be converted into biofuel such as ethanol! It's like building the whole freaking rocket(spaceship) out of the fuel you're going to use to fly it! ^_^ Of course I guess you'd need some kind of basic frame on the inside for support, and on the outside so the left over rocket(vegetable) doesn't ignite on re-entry and the whole rocket(spaceship) ends up flying around permanently on fire. But isn't that a cool idea XD

And why stop at that? Soon the entire planet's supply of vegetables could be dedicated to making rockets and my plan to save the next generation of children from eating brocolli will be complete XD



Standard section:
So I've made a new blog as I mentioned above like a billion times. But I wonder how it'll change me. Like, I'm entering a new social sphere in a way, not to mention putting all the junk in my brain onto the net for all the strange people to see. I've taken another step in the direction of internet addiction. XD

The damage to my eyes aside, I wonder what being on the internet for extended periods of time will do to me. It's undisputable that the internet has definitely changed the lives of the people who use it. Everyone's got a blog, everyone chats on msn, fb, skype and all those other means of electronic communication. With the internet, the closest of friends can live on opposite poles of the Earth, and everyone's an expert.
However, I think the internet also has alot of danger too. Cyber bullying, net addiction and access to pretty women, I believe has an extremely detrimental effect on people, especially younger minds.

I'm just wondering; if we spend all our time on these things, will the way we interact in real life be affected?

Anywayy hope you all enjoyed this massive first post, because I doubt there will be many more like it in the next few weeks with exams and all =p Feel special you lucky people.
