All Past Entries will come in this format: the day I wrote this(not published) will be in bold at the top. The rest of this post shall be in italics. If you have no idea what the heck these Past Entries are about, refer to this post.
I hope nothing phenomenal happened in between this time and the time you're reading this post. I only sent it a few more days ahead, so no meteor/hurricane/earthquake/(any other natural disaster) should occur. And if the world is to end today, then the Mayans and other people who predicted this end missed it by a few years.
I also planned this post to be published the exact time I click the Publish Post button, so that when you're reading this it would be exactly 10 days from that moment. Now nothing should have changed much; this is merely a test, and I may dive further into the future next time.
That's what the school did to the year of 2009. Not with wrapping paper, but with speeches and other final notes. Probably just as effective anyway.
Due to the horrible weather that day, the planned inter-class basketball competition got cancelled and we watched a movie instead. Which makes me kind of think that the weather wasn't that horrible...
The entire secondary 3 batch was split into three groups, each getting to watch a different movie in a different lecture theatre(finally used as a different kind of theatre). I ended up watching Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella), a 1997 Italian film set around WWII. It shows in the first part how the narrator Joshua's parents, Guido and Dora, met, through the many clever tricks Guido employed. Everyone laughed in the theatre when his tricks worked. Also, Guido works as a waiter, and has a friend/doctor, who is obsessed with riddles(which are actually quite tricky).
Oh my god. It's been edges since I last posted! This blog really gathered up quite a bit of online dust and is nearly going stale.
But not even half as dusty as my house right now.
Currently my house is undergoing renovation works, specifically the bathrooms and a new future piano room! We can't use the showers, so we all have to bathe downstairs with a pail of water. In other words we go back to the kampong lifestyle. I also can't use the computer room near one of the bathrooms because of all the dust and moving of stuff.
Singapore's going to celebrate her 44th year of independence tommorow. I don't call it a birthday because she existed a few hundred years ago, and didn't just suddenly materialise out of thin air in 1965! Still, our progress was rapid, and we didn't give up.
Want to know a little more about Singapore?(especially foreigners) Here's some essential knowledge about Singapore, which might come in handy when you come to this island:
I'll continue on modern magic. And I'll use the same amateurish source, because I'm lazy to find another one.
Since Half-blood Prince is showing in cinemas now, and Goblet of Fire is on TV too, I thought of sharing some bits of trivia on this series.
If you were still trying to guess, the above names are part of the Harry Potter Series, in case the post title still didn't give a big enough hint...

Dreadful or exciting?
I still wish the school will announce its closure like on the radio or on the news...
And now it's raining. Just adds on to the mood...
The only good thing is there's no CCA for now. Which means shorter school days.
I have this indescribable feeling now...
Not such a good way to use up my 100th post, but never mind. I just need to say that I'll be away on holiday in Malaysia from tomorrow onwards, so I probably won't be spending as much time on the computer, if at all.
At least Malaysia doesn't have H1N1, but that may mean a lot more people would go there too...
Oh, and spend the rest of the school holidays properly! Finish up all urgent and important matters, then go and relax!
Another game featured on the blog! I didn't bother to put it up as the main game of the blog, because it has morbid content.
Karoshi in Japanese literally means "death from overwork", hence is a term for occupational sudden death. And that's what the game is mainly about. Basically, you play a worker who's objective is to, well, die, unlike most puzzle games.
Simple and morbid as it sounds, there are hidden tricks/glitches in almost every level. This is really one of the very rare games that make your own death look fun and satisfying!
Try out the game, if you dare...
There is also a sequel: Super Karoshi
Sheesh. All Sec 3s have to participate in the Youth Writers Awards Asia 2010 competition. We all have to write a short story between 500-800 words, "describing the nature of individual love and passion for sport(s) including values such as friendship, the will to go the extra mile, honesty, fair play, hard work, respect for everyone regardless of differences etc. They can share their dreams, true feelings, joys, frustrations or special memories they may have about sports through the medium of the short story."
This is particularly tricky for me, when I hardly play sports at all! I don't really like sports that much, but I can't change the theme, especially since the 30 winning stories will be "published in a book, which will be used to promote the awareness of Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games to all 3,600 participants and the winners of the Youth Writers Awards Asia 2010."
You know what the top 5 prizes are?
I’m trying out Windows Live Writer for this post today. So far it seems pretty good. Except that I have to add in some html tags manually. It lets you preview how your post would look like on the homepage accurately. For now at least.
Chinese(or Lunar) New Year’s arriving in about a week. However, due to the weekend before that, and the early dismissal of school on Friday, I’ll say we have four and a half days before we can celebrate.
