Bullet in sloooooooooooooooow mooooootiooooonnnn:

So Cool.

2 Words Which I Misread.

Firstly, there's "Tear" which could either mean crying or ripping something up.
And secondly, there's "Volume". You see because i have been quite a bit of math,
and especially the topic on mensuration. Yes read it right, people. Mensuration.
Basically its about finding surface areas and volumes (as in length x breadth x height)
for cones, pyramids and cylinders.
Anyways, to continue my short mini minute (my-nute) story, I misread and got confused when i was reading a science worksheet which had the other meaning of volume, which is loudness.

Strange.
Couldn't they have come up with other words to mean individual meanings,
So poor people like me, wouldn't get confused?
Ooh, bummer.

Hmmm... I have to admit...

I kinda sorta, you know, maybe enjoy studying?
Yes, there i said it.
Well to be honest, studying really isn't that bad after all.
I mean, well, at least i know what my brain is supposed to be for now.

And the more i study, the more i discover.
And i love that the neurons (yeah and not neutrons, don't get em mixed up!) in my brains are making links and connections.
It feels.... Good.
It feels... really Good.
I feel Good.
You feel like you're achieving something.
And that is definitely a Good feeling.

Speaking of science anyways,
I would like to quote from Nat's blog.
And she says:

"I've been wondering how nice life could be.
Come to think of it, It's just like an abstract object that is part of everything.
Everything is the opposite of nothing.
Although an alternative view considers "nothing" a part of everything.
It's just like planet Earth envisioned from an anthropocentric worldview.
Everyone is governed by the same physical laws and constants throughout It's extent and history.
Some just spooked me off.
When the poster on my room wall fell off:
The tap started running."

When i read it was like "Whoa."
Thats heavy duty stuff man.
Its so abstract the whole idea and thought here.
Yet, So true.

Throughout the whole week ( well mostly...),
I've been listening to "Come Home" By OneRepublic.
Its an awesome song, really.
Go Check it out when you have the time.
Its great and stimulative for studying. (Seriously...)
Piano-based song so no harm trying.
Yeah piano based songs are always the best in melodies.
You know what, in fact to make life easier for you and me,
You can check it out here.



Have fun!

And All Of a Sudden, The Sky is Breath-Taking.

And Yes, this shot was taken in Singapore.
I caught it when just before the sun could retreat into its comfort zone.



You have to double click on the photo.
Its too small to admire all of its beauty.

I never thought i would be interested in this.....

SoundArt.
Thats what i never thought i would be interested in.
But as it turns out, i am.
The thing is its so absurd and eccentric that i like it. I find it really interesting.
And just in case you were wondering what sound art is,
Basically its painting a picture with sound.
And this sound isnt your usual music, its sounds we hear all around edited intended to paint a picture the artist wants.
Interesting isn't it?
Okay but as good as i have made it sound with all those words, you might still switch it off after a few seconds. But i have warned you, not everyone will like it.
Sometimes i don't like all of it either, just some.
Some particular ones, that catch my ear.



This one is a guitar piece by Matthew something. It just sounds good.
Sonorous deep rich sound.
Precise notes.



How interesting right?
Hilarious even.



This is my favourite one.
Its fantastic.
The sound of water splashing.
Rain.
Taking a bath.
Whatever it is,
Its good.

You Know All That Studying is Getting to You When.....

You start making Uber lame jokes like this.

Eg: (Oh and this is an original i cooked up when studying Chem)

Q: What will a Chemist call his son?
A: An A-Tom. (Pronounced, A and Tom)

Its almost as bad as Reader's Digest Standard of jokes.
Yes, if you read RD's jokes, they WON'T make you laugh, sadly.
Because it isn't even funny at all. Like seriously.
I mean i read it, but i its merely slightly amusing not "Ha-ha! Oh thats funny!".
Its a mere snigger.

Anyways to end of this post i shall tell you a pick-up line (Which Lam told me during Science).

Q: Do you like Optimus Prime?
A: Yes/No (doesnt matter)

Reply from questioner:
Oh cause i hope you'll be Optimus Mine.

"........"
"hahhahahaha"
Yes i know.
That was really bad.

Studying is really gettin to me.

Boredom+Laserpointer+G9 Canon Powershot+ Imagination =

This.
Sigh...
Anyways,
Tomorrow is Back-To-School again.
Sigh.
I am such a sigh-er.




Sigh.

Mmmmm... You Look Different.

This is why King and I don't share the same optician.
But actually, i think i look pretty alright in her specs.
Ooh well, perception perception.

This Evening's Sky is.............

(Sorry my 3.2mp phone camera wasnt good enough to capture the full effect,
the human eye viewed it 1,000,000 times more magnificent.)

Blazing.
See the streaks of light?
Yeap, thats what i call, blazing.
The sky looks terrific.

Cold Storage And Its Interesting Products

Can you guess what the 1st picture is?
And noope. Its not a Banana, banana's are never that shiny.
The 1st and 2nd picture is the same type of vegetable.
Lemme give you a clue.
It starts with a z. (Oh yeah like that helped right?)
Alright.
Its a.......... (drum roll if you may pls...)
ZUCHINNI!
Hmmmm hang on a sec, lemme see if i got that rightly spelled.
Oops, turns out it is spelled, Zucchini!
Double c, single n.
Alright, well at least I've learnt something new today.
Anyways, when i was grocery shopping with my mom yesterday,
I couldn't take it, i just had to get a picture.
Don't you think its cute?
Well at least i know i do.

3rd-ly, 4th-ly and 5th-ly,
check these out.





I am sorry but the yellow peppers just looked so fake to me!
Okay disclaimer here, i am not saying cold storage sells fake stuff,
All i am saying is that in general, the fruit or vegetable, the yellow peppers by nature,
appear plastic-kee. It just... has this whole 'mah-sak-mah-sak' thing about it.

And so in the end... at the end of the whole enriching, me-getting-to-know-the-zucchini-and-encounters-with-the-'fake'-look-alike-yellow-peppers...
I was allowed by my mom to choose a snack.
Being the healthy freak i am not, i chose this:



3 apples. Oh and these are high class apples, okay. Not any other Tom Dick or Harry Apples.
These are HIGH class apples. The green ones are from this place called "Granny Smith's" and the red ones are called "Red Delicious Apples".

No offence but i enjoyed Granny Smith's apples better.

Alright, now quick pop quiz,
How do you spell CCK.
The place in Singapore?
If you spelled Chua Chu Kang, you are... WRONG.
It turns out, i learned how to spell CCK, from the most unexpected and unconventional places:




Yeap, you got it, a Bus.
If you look carefully at the heading it says "Choa Chu Kang".
Interesting eh?
It goes to show learning can take place anywhere, and everywhere.
Even here @ this blog,
this page, this post.

Ohh kay, gotta go now.
Have fun!

It Means Nothing - Stereophonics.

It Means Nothing’, was inspired by terrorist attacks in London but clearly taps into Kelly’s own feelings of reconnecting with core values. “You take people for granted every day until something goes wrong. Funerals might be the only time you talk to your family all year. You care so much about what trainers you wear to work, all that material stuff, but you don’t really pay much attention to the person you love who walks out the door, and it means nothing really without that one person.”

Stay Tuned....

JoBros / A Little Bit Longer.

I know some of us think that the Jonas Brothers play bubblegum pop,
But i think their really cute (okay not as in, not just looks..)
as in their whole 3 brothers in a band thing.
Yes, i think thats really cute, not to mention cool.
Can you imagine being FAMOUS at the age of 14?? Totally Awesome eh?
We all know the JoBro's for their adrenalin pumping songs like "SOS" or covers like "Year 3000" but just recently, they launched their latest album "A Little Bit Longer".
The album is titled after one of their songs which obviously has the same name.
The song was written by Nick when he first was diagnosed with Diabetes.
I think the song is really nice actually, its melancholic but than it builds up to a beautiful
instrument only, guitar rife, solo thing. Excellent.
The lyrics? Beautifully, honestly, reflectively penned.



Now how bout that?

Prop-Top/ Old School Toys.

Check this out!
How cool is this right?
You see i was walking out of my room when i saw it on my bro's desk,
And obviously, being the curious person that i am, i started fixing it up and before you knew it,
it was flying about the house!
Its incredibly fun really.
Even just the photos of it are like saying "I AM SO FUN."
It just... spells F-U-N, you know?
Ohh... you gotta go get one, i don't know how but you just got to.
Its one of those things that just come back to you and reminds you that you're still a kid. ;)
Aww.... sweet.
Totally.

To My 'Po Po' Contest.

Okay actually, the contest is called "To My Grandma/Grandpa"
but i call i entitled my entry as "To My Po Po"
Which basically means To my Grandma in chinese or dialect, or something.

Wanna read my entry?
Sure.
Here goes....................!





Dear Grandma,

Or more commonly known to me as ‘po po’ in Chinese.
My ‘Po po’ is 84 this year and maybe unlike most grandparents she has stroke. As such she is bed-ridden and is paralyzed from the head down, this also means that she cannot communicate with me verbally. But although she cannot talk, it doesn’t mean that we do not communicate at all. Our communication is one that goes beyond words. We reach out to her through our touch and feel to let her know we are there and that we still care.

I think it must be horrible, being paralyzed, being unable to verbalize your thoughts. Sometimes in the midst of absolute silence, I sit there next to my grandma and wonder what she is thinking about and how life must have been for her before she became paralyzed and after she had became paralyzed. Sometimes, I even wonder if she knows who I am.

The thing is, our mouth vocalizes our thoughts and thereby allowing us to know what a person is thinking about. But for my Grandma it is different. Very different because she cannot speak at all. So sometimes I don’t have a clue what is going on in her head and how she is feeling. At times, she even tears up and stares into the blank space as if watching a film with a gripping storyline. Sometimes, I really wish that I could take a dive into the deep end of her head to find out what is really going on. To reassure her at the same time when she gets tense and tightens all her facial and arm muscles. To calm her unreasonable fears. I really wish she could hear me say right at that moment, “Don’t worry po po, I am here. And everything is going to be alright.” But unfortunately, she can’t.

However, despite all these difficulties, I still spend time with her by simply sitting there with her, holding her wrinkled and feeble hand in mine. Allowing myself to get caught up in the moment with her. It’s really strange, but sometimes even in the silence; I can tell that she appreciates my presence and me just being there with her. I can tell because her eyes say it all. Its as if those two pupils are staring deep into my own and saying ‘Thank you so much my precious one.”

You know, sometimes I wonder how I would feel when my po po has passed on. Sure I would miss her, but I know for sure beyond any reasonable doubt that she has gone on to a better place.
A place, where she can not only feel and touch, but also talk.
