The End, and The Beginning.

Tuesday, October 25, 2005

It's the end of options. It ended today with 2 tests. And I suppose that also means that it's the end of all my possible excuses for not studying Chinese. While still on that topic, I'm screwed for it. Totally.

What will possibly happen to me if I fail Chinese? I will feel miserable and then get over it and probably fail it again. However, if I pass it, then I will be happy, forget every word I ever learnt, and get on with life.

Feeling relatively bored and unmotivated. It rained heavily today after English, and Manori was pissed because it rained (very heavily) on the day she forgot to bring her umbrella and didn't bring her jacket either! It is indeed a rather rare sight to see Manori without her jacket and in pinafoe.

And, when I can still think about pinafoes, it occured to me that I saw several RJ girls at the PS bus stop on the way home. I was highly amused by the way they wore the uniform, and then I remembered that I'm going there next year too. That is, if I go there.

Today in the library before English, we talked a bit about IB, and it's benefits over A Levels. I really don't know what I'll do if I do badly in my A Levels, because I have absolutely nothing to fall back on. But it will be the same way with IB. Except that I have the potential of doing slightly better there because they take CIP into consideration. And anyway IB is more widely recognised, whereas A Level is recognised in England, Australia, Singapore, and other more British-leaning countries which generally drive on the left side of the road.

But as with everything and anything, I suppose it has its drawbacks as well.

Still, because of that conversation, I've been presented with yet another dilemma, to top off my subject combination one.

That one is yet another stupid thing.

You see, this time round, my GPA has improved tremendously, and I got 3.6 for 4 subjects. English, SS, Chem and Bio. But, the thing is, I don't intend to take science at JC because I don't like science, and I don't see myself doing science in the future. It's just not... me. And then, the practical side comes in. I score better in science. Face it. I know I do. And I also know that I could have gotten GPA 4.0 for Chem had I not started studying the night before.

But if I do science, I will have a combination something like Chem, Maths, Econs, History/Lit. It's kind of weird and half-half, if you know what I mean. It's neither here nor there. And, what can I possibly study in uni if I do that? Business, probably. Which is currently my backup plan, because I'm not really interested.

I don't know. I submitted my form already. And I sure as hell hope I don't regret.

One more week, and I reach the end, and another beginning. But maybe I don't want to go.


Bond

Monday, October 17, 2005

Well, there are actually more blond Bond jokes, and now they've expanded to include, erm, John Robinson and Glorfindel. And all blond guys in general. I'm still thinking how to incorporate Britney Spears into one though. But I don't suppose you'll want to know about them.

Anyway, in today's TODAY newspaper, page 36, you'll discover a double page spread on Bond. Written by Neil Humphreys! I like that guy's writing.

Anyway there were several pictures at the bottom, and I actually gave them captions in school. But then I came back, attempted to search them up on the internet, and failed to come up with similar ones. So you'll just have to make do.

Here goes.



Sean Connery

"Hmm.. I'm looking to my left but my gun is pointed to my right. Oh heck, nevermind, I'm real confident of shooting you anyway."


George Lazenby

"This is a seriously weird perspective shot! And guess what? It even has my autograph on it. Oh yeah, I was supposed to shoot you."

Roger Moore

"What on earth is that thing, I wonder? Eh, I'm confused, and a little scared too.. I think I'll just put that gun in front of me just in case."































Timothy Dalton

"I have this really smug look on my face, and yx says that I look Chinese. Maybe I do, but watch out. I can and will shoot you."























Pierce Brosnan

"Hmm.. I think I should just shoot you. Yeah, I should. Bang."





























Daniel Craig


"I love smiling! And, I'm not sure if I can shoot anyone if I wanted to, I'd probably feel guilty."

I heard from yx that the new Bond had been chosen. And upon hearing that, I hastily searched it out using the trusty google search.

Of course, since yx even took note of such a thing, it must mean that it was of some interest to her. In this case, it was because the new Bond is blond, or blonde, depending on how you like to put it.

And it turns out that this new Bond's name is Daniel Craig, which isn't such a bad name, but it gets worse. If you have to know why, just click on this link right here: http://www.raremovieimages.com/dailyimages/danielcraig2.jpg

Ewwwww.

Yx and I finally agree on something. That that guy is not good looking at all. Even though he's blond, and has highly influenced yx's thinking.

And anyway, yx and I were on MSN, feeling bored, and I decided that I might as well start coming up with blond Bond jokes. And following in the tradition of blond jokes, they are really quite bad. I'm sorry.



Blond Bond and a random girl at the back of a car.
They suddenly become consumed with passion etc, etc, etc.
You get the idea. And you know whats going to happen.
Random girl: James, can we play it safe?
Blond Bond: Okay.
*blond Bond locks the car door*

Random girl: James, why are you standing out there in this terrible weather? (it's a thunderstorm)
Blond Bond: Someone's taking my photo! I have to wait for them to finish..

Blond Bond gets hungry. He calls (insert random phone number here) to order pizza.
Operator: So, sir, would you like your pizza cut into 12 slices or 6 slices?
Blond Bond: 6, please. I could never eat 12 slices.

Blond Bond meets a brunette girl.
She makes lots of blond jokes about him.
He asks: Why are blond jokes usually so short?
Brunette girl: Because otherwise men wont understand them.

Random girl: James, why are you holding your hands over your ears?
Blond Bond: I'm trying to hold a thought.



The day has come when I of all people make up blond Bond jokes.

Interesting signs

Sunday, October 09, 2005

Was at Golden Landmark, and came across several interesting signs.

Spine Manipulative Therapy! Ouch. Seriously ouch.

Okay, this one, the shop name is pretty okay. It's just that, if you take a closer look at the shop sign, you'll notice that it's printed, using an inkjet printer.


Another case of classic Singaporean-ness. Everything is never where their name suggests. Punggol Nasi Lemak is on Tanjong Katong Road. Siglap Secondary is in Pasir Ris. And Katong Laksa is everywhere. Golden Landmark building is in Bugis, fyi.

Wholistic? Maybe they meant holistic.

hi there hello hello!
