it pays

I realised that it pays to highlight every single blogpost you read. blogs are strange, like me.

Why? people are strange creatures

Sometimes people have thoughts that they want to hide and show at the same time. And only those who really bother to comb through a blogpost will read it and know it. While you are left in the dark. Snacking over your laptop watching naruto

And then i assume that you are going to highlight this post. ha, as i thought.

And then of course there are other ways of hiding your words and yet not hiding them completely. Like making the words tinier.

On a random note, a lot of people have problems, their world is irrelevant and cold. And sometimes they just want to stare into blank space. Literally, in their blog posts.

And if you didn't understand anything here, its ok. Just read through it again. You got it.

Anyway, time for the long and not so short of my shopping trip after church. Here goes. Once again, we toured a carpark, cairnhill this time, and then walked into paragon. Mama-pants and I ate fish & co while papa-pants and our maid ate toriQ. Its so fun to split up lah. I love fish & co. And after that we dragged ourselves around metro, and ended up at some apple premium reseller where they were promoting garage band and there was this random guy singing I'm Yours. I smudged my fingerprints over their ipods and then went to SONY. MUAHAHA. I love sony, they have big TVs.

That was where i went ballistic. Because all around me were big bright flashing screens and the smell of electronics. Spent a lot of time smudging the handphones, opening and closing laptops, and admiring the super huge LCD TV which was playing some HD documentary about hyenas chasing deer.

And then while i was enjoying myself drooling over the handphones one last time (ee sound so disgusting, whatever), papa-pants dragged us out of paragon to go home. So sad lah, were there for like less than 2 hours and we didn't buy anything. In fact, we never get to buy anything with papa-pants around, except maybe an ice cream.

This is about as close to normal my posts can ever get.

restaurant city

Restaurant city!

I am going crazy over this game, i can't do my physics PT. Anyway I need cheese, tomatoes and flour. Anyone interested to trade?

Well, i guess not.

sony ericsson

I WANT THE aino one. It looks like a touchscrren version of the SE w595.

CLICK: SE AINO.

iphone

BEWARE, post not for anti-geeks.

If i could decide what the new iphone would be, i would choose this:
- An OLED screen with higher resolution.
- A better camera, at least with some sort of flash, and more camera options.
- A scratch and fingerprint resistant back panel.
- Longer battery life.
- More colour options.
- A thinner profile if possible.
- Less problems, most of which will be solved by OS 3.0

I like OLED screens. But its obvious its not going to be in the next iphone. Lets wait for another 2 more years or something. Sometimes I wonder why phone makers don't just make a phone that satisfies all of the consumers wants. Instead of spreading features out accross many phones. They would make big bugs. I meant bucks.

And no, I do not have an iphone.

branbag

I feel like a grouchy beanbag today. Floppy, listless and out of shape, and in a bad mood. I need another beanbag to lie on.

I think I am turning into a potato too. All I think about the whole day is dumping myself on the couch and starring at the idiot-box, and eating my own kind, which i can't, since I am a brace-face now.

Actually, maybe the telly shouldn't be called an idiot 'box' anymore. Nowadays its more like a flat thing that flashes bright lights and has super high contrast ratios, which altogether hypnotizes you into a dreamy trance.

Maybe thats why we have a world full of lumpy couch potatoes. And unfortunately, I'm one of them.

Why can't i be a couch carrot? At least they are orange.

braces

I got my braces for my top row of teeth today. I can't freaking close my mouth comfortably.

But the brackets are shiny! Ok, maybe not really, but shinier than yours anyway.

I hereby congratulate all those wonderfully perfect people who have shiny white teeth without needing to look like a walking metal grin for 2 years or so.

And I pity those who have teeth that are neither here nor there, because you can't decide whether you need braces or not, simply because your teeth are both perfect and imperfect, depending on the conditions:

1) The lighting
2) The mirror
3) Your eyes
4) Angle of sight
5) Photoshop

And so, you are stuck on the fence because you are deluded.

For now, i am a new member of the group of walking metal grins, assuming that i do grin, and if so with some degree of discomfort.

Stop gawking already. Your eyes will burn, because my braces are too shiny.

open house

I spent a lot of money on food today. WHY DID I HAVE TO EAT PASTA MANIA. WHY.

I am supposed to be saving up for my cheapo piano. My laptop smells funky. And jo-ann's 'pheesics' PT is driving me crazy. And tomorrow is open house, and i have to wear culottes D:

Words fail me. And I am going to get into trouble with the giant. beeg trouble.

I shall squash another ant.

score printing spree

I am on a score printing spree!

I have printed:
1) Viva la vida
2) Clocks
3) Mad World, thanks to Adam Lambert.

Hurray!

Meanwhile, facebook just classified me as a future drug addict.



Shermaine-pong (does spastic chicken dance): Hurray!

BEWARE. I am a bamboozling drug addict and I WILL RULE THE WORLD. Muahahahaha.

Heh.

2.4

I passed 2.4.

And now my feet are sore.

Oh yay it rhymes.

I am going to eat 5 double cheeseburgers nao.

I smell like a beanbag, and you do too.

oh my freAK.

I am constantly in awe of people on youtube.




I love coldplay, youtube and this pianist.

August Rush- Bari Improv


I feel like watching this movie all over again.

yay

PARTIAL LIBERATION. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Exams are blah. Its time to sit back and slack and enjoy the aircon beating down on my face. Not the sun.

I want to buy wenqi's psp. Wenqi's psp that has been used for what, 3 times? Omg. There are so many psps neglected in this evil world, and that all could be fixed by like placing them in my tender loving care.

Hug a pineapple. Hug a psp.

And then there has to be this person on facebook called Long Nose Hair.

How pleasant. I found it while randomly typing the word hair in the search box.

Can you imagine: 'Long Nose Hair poked you'. Eww so disgusting lah. blarrgh.

And if you are wondering why I even bothered to type 'hair', its because I am trying to find a group for 'hair'. Hair is important, if not your head will be as bald-ly shiny as my shiny knee.

In anticipation:
No, I am as normal as can be.

brains

A person who cannot speak his mind either does not have a mouth, or does not have a mind.

Oh blah. Just say it already and stop going round in circles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, everytime i think of a messy table, i remember Albert Einstein's quote:
'If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?'

I would rather have a cluttered mind than no mind at all.

And you are probably thinking that that is an invalid argument because 'empty' is not exact opposite of 'cluttered', and hence its not directly correlated.

Stop it. Thinking is bad for your brain cells. They kill them and fry them till their crispy and charred.

Crunchy brain cells.

empathy.

You screw up an exam and you feel really, really bad about it. And then you tell everyone how bad it was, but you still cannot convey how horribly bad it was. All you get is a heartless, 'its ok'.

And you know you shouldn't keep harping on it, but its like an irritating itch that never goes away.

Don't tell me you haven't felt that before.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pong is the way to go.

Zen pong: Hi pongo.
Val pong: Hi.

Zen pong: Hi pongish. Hows the ipod touch?
Shermaine pong: Hi pongish.

Zen pong: GRACE PONG!!!
Grace pong: How to study for SS??? D: (the ss thing made a huge impression.)

Pong pong pong.

hello

hello. my name is zenia.

japan tech

A slice of nippon tech.






NIPPONTECHJAPANTECH. ftw.

chem sucks

I died for chem. YAY. ok

time for some good ole random blabbering.

I did the facebook quiz geek, freak, or just plain crazy and i got weird as an answer.

I am so proud of myself man. Ask yourself, are you weird? No, you are not, because you like to eat sharks-fin. And i like to tie my shoelaces, which clearly explains why you like to use nail polish in the sauna. And its because of that that your soft toy turned into a correction tape, which you refill with hydrochloric acid once every 2 decades, because your eraser commited suicide, and your ipod ended up in a bath tub in langkawi.

Meanwhile, your tissue box fried itself a printer in the frying pan, and invented the washing machine. Thomas Edison burned his hair, and snape made a lot of money out of his oily nose. Mickey mouse has been found out to be a cocaine addict, and hence has been banned from the likes of disney channel and all kids who are alive, or kids who were once goats. The cow stole your chemistry textbook, and infected it with bird flu. The bird flew and gave my protractor a manicure, causing it to bark in excitement.

The dustbin kicked the bucket, and ended up in the crematorium, where it started to dye its hair. You ran out of graph paper and proceeded to eat 999 bologna sandwiches, so that your pens will have enough ink. The calculator started tap dancing, and uprooted a tree.

I love tiny glass bottle. The world seems so alive suddenly. I already feel better after typing that out. Why don't you try it too?

Its called craziness therapy.

SS airing of thoughts

OK here are my thoughts on the 2 POGs. Just my way of revising. Might not make sense at some points, because this is where I shall sort out my thoughts.

A stake for everyone, opportunities for all.
Constitutes: The government presents everyone with equal opportunities, and provides a wide variety of schemes and policies to cater to the different needs.
Example: Education system, government utilises education as a platform to provide equal opportunities to all, by providing edusave, bursaries, scholarships and other incentives, complementing idea of meritocracy. A person quality of life is therefore determined by his merit and capabilities, as opposed to his social status. Opportunites are given for people to break out of poverty cycle>>> human geog??
Implication: Not everyone can take advantage of this policies and are thus sidelined in this meritocratic society, and hence do not have as much of a stake as they should have. They lose out to their peers.

Constitutes: A sense of belonging is inculcated. Singaporeans feel that they have a stake and are proud to be Singaporean. The living environment continues to be attractive. Singaporeans are rooted emotionally, through creating opportunities for active participation in decision making processes and provide feedback on policies. People feel a sense of belonging in having a say in what the nation does, as stakeholders of the society.
Example (positive): Government provides opportunites for which Singaporeans can air their views through speakers corner, permitted demonstrations in certain areas, and STOMP.
Example (negative): Casino debate. Large opposition but government still went ahead with it. Government does not value the views of the people enough? Probably allowed the debate so as to identify the anti-casino views and create measures to counter them so that there would be no reason for the people to disagree with the building of the casino. Government chooses to ignore the interests of the people for economic benefits and gains. The people do not have enough power to prevent the government to go ahead with plans they do not agree with, even if they are a majority and have opportunites to express their views and opinions. Active citizenry is redundant.

O.K. I am already losing myself here. I AM GOING TO DIE. And i still have another POG and the whole of chem. I am not prepared and not confident.

Someone save me from the evil clutches of exams.

chem sucks

I don't understand chem. Limiting reactants is making me run around like a headless chicken, as shiqi would have said. And I haven't started SS, which means I have to mug madly tomorrow.

But I just read something in the mail and now I am grinning like an idiot in front of the computer screen while typing this out. YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY.

On second thought, I should really be mugging chem now.

I need a mug of milo to help me with my marvellous mad mugging.

blahblah

I think some things about Singapore are ridiculous.

Like the signs they put everywhere. They don't really serve any purpose.

Go into a shopping centre, and you see a sign pointing straight ahead with the words 'shops' on it. Walk another 100m, and you see a sign pointing to the right with the words 'more shops'.

I'm sure that is pretty helpful. Obviously there are shops right, and more shops. If not why is it called a shopping centre? Neil Humphreys is so smart lah. Why does he recognise all this things?

And then yesterday after getting home from batch dinner at plaza sing, took mrt home from dhoby ghaut. And since Liying is a lao ahma, I kindly accompanied her on the travelator. And then at the end of the travelator, there was this sign saying 'end of travelator' or something like that. That is ridiculous. Can't you see that its the end? Or maybe it has some hidden purpose that i don't know. But its still ridiculous.

Its interesting to note that something as mundane as an MRT station travelator can still surprise me.

On a random side note, it was always my dream to have a travelator leading to my house doorway. And then there would be a sign at the end saying 'welcome home', and not 'end of travelator'.

deflated

The highlight of the year is over. There isn't anything to look forward to.

Except millions of exams. And a weekend of mugging. Muggertoad, as laohan would have put it.

I feel a sense of loss and emptiness, just like how my brother felt after performing in NDP. And i feel sad thinking about how we have to say goodbye to our dear sec fours at the end of this year.

NOOOO.

And i feel sad thinking about leaving our juniors at the end of next year.

Just a little while ago I was sec one and the sec fours were sec twos.

Where did all that time go?

Deflated.
