Hey you in front of the screen! Did you visit this blog yet again for another episode of Shida's self bashing session? Does your sadistic tendencies leave you reeling in pleasure each time you read his posts, each of which are filled to the brim and overflowing with regret, guilt, sadness and torment? Well sorry to disappoint you, but the bad news you are going to have to wait in order to satisfy your perverted little obsession with Shida's emoness. The good news in case you are curious(and the very fact that you are reading this blog shows that you must simply LOVE poking your nose around, or maybe have too much time), is that seeing how frequently Shida blogs, the wait probably isn't going to be very long.

Wow, now that i have completed that whole long useless paragraph which said nothing useful, i have absolutely no idea what i wanted to write when i started the first word for this post. Then again, that was a day ago, so i can't really be blamed for my poor overnight memory for remembering things which i don't even consciously try to remember. Kudos to my brain for having the nifty functionality of deleting random things in my REM sleep. Thanks also to blogger for having this nifty functionality of automatically saving a half written blog post. Which allowed me to continue with my 1/10th written post that i started last night.

Since i have had no luck in recalling what i wanted to write (conclusion is that when your brain deletes random things without telling you, it doesn't just send it to the recycling bin), i shall just do a little summary of what has been going on in my highly boring and monotonous life. Damn! Am i unknowingly being affected by Shida's contagious style of writing about his boring and monotonous life? Heck, i need to get this over and done with and start mugging.

The results of spho is out already, and i am quite disappointed. The first disappointment is that I got an honorable mention, which is not very honorable. Put bluntly, i was pwnt by about 30 people from a wide array of JCs in the highly narrow and unpopular subject of physics, and that's assuming that i did at least as well as the others who also received the same thing as me. This put together with the fact that many physcics pros in our school and probably other schools as well did not participate in the competition means that im probably nowhere near being the top at the subject. NUSHS also pwned RJC and took over the position of being the top JC at the competition, with the top scorer being this girl from NUSHS. Coincidentally, this girl happens to go by the name of Fiona, which means that in the short duration of one holiday i have managed to get owned by 2 different Fionas in chess and physics, which are two of the few things i have an interest in. (Imagine the countless number of Fionas who must pwn me at the countless things i am NOT interested in!)

But at least my poor performance would mean that this whole ordeal would be over for me and i would get to continue with the rest of my life. Or so i thought. The second disappointment simply couldn't resist telling me right in the face that i have to visit NUS every wednesday for the impossibly minute chance of getting into top 8 so that i get a wonderful chance of visiting the incredibly advanced country of Mongolia to live in Mongolian tents and learn to shoot arrows and become a highly adept master of martial arts just like guo jing. Or if you are one with much contempt for imagination and much love for reality, go there for some lousy Apho. Moral of the story: When you somehow have the worse of one world, be sure that the worse of another remote planet would be teleported to you through some unlikely magical portal so that you get the worse of both worlds.

Just a short digression here: Strawberry flavored love letters taste splendid! OK back to the main topic.

Then again, every cloud has its silver lightning which could be potentially harnessed to power time machines which require gigavolts of electricity to run and has conveniently run out of plutonium fuel for its built in nuclear reactor. In other words there were some consolations in this unfortunate calamity. The first of which is that a certain imba mugger who i don't know very well and hence dare not quote his name for the fear of incurring his wrath, (but rest assured "imba mugger" is a sufficiently accurate description for hes the kind of person who pwnzes everything)has only gotten honorable mention too! A great boost to my ego and self confidence.

The second consolation stretches a bit further. Although at first it seems that i should be utterly ashamed of myself for losing to so many people in physics, on second thought maybe not. Firstly, the creator is always greater than the mere understander(we all know Edison, but who cares about the average dude who knows how a lightbulb actually works), and secondly the creator is not always necessarily an understander (does your parents understand you? does vasudeva understands rev?point proven). The greatness of creation is in no way diminished by an inability to understand. Hence, who cares if i don't know physics when it was creation which allowed everyone to have something to understand in the first place? Ha! I pwn! Ha! I rock! (for more egotism or egotheism please refer to wentaogod.blogspot.com)

Another relatively significant big thing which has happened recently is my conversion from the cult of "Revelation: The lands of Kaldana is good for your emoness and uselessness" to the cult of "Mugging: The toils of Students is good for your future financial health". The abstinence from rev which started from a random whim of mine (i was thinking "hm, what would happen if i just deleted this folder here and quit rev?") has somehow miraculously lasted for a week, and now that my accounts must have shit prestige i feel rather unmotivated to dl the game and start playing again. On the side note, i also started to think that mugging is actually good, and tried to study for SAT. Understandably, i failed miserably and ended up wasting away my time writing this very blog post you are reading now.

Having written all that i am currently too drained to even attempt thinking of what else i want to include, so i shall simply end here. But before that:

Shoutout to Weiyang for tagging here and including one sentence about me on his latest blog post. And hence making me part of his dark and random thoughts.

Shoutout to Chunkai for telling me weiyang's blog address so that i can read his blog and tag it.

Shoutout to Lingzhang for bringing his gc-gc link cable to school so that i can realize that it doesnt work and have my hopes of making a multiplayer game dashed.

Shoutout to Nobuo Uematsu for composing such wonderful FF 7 music

Screamout to Rei Ayanami for having such a wonderfully well formed and curvaceous body such that even her upside down rotating silhouette reflected in the water looks great.

Hissincontemptout to my lunch for making me have a stomach ache now.
