Feel like not blogging but just want a post…so just as a help for those who are doing article 11 for the English presentation…
As we walk into the second decade of the 21st century, the world faces a whole slew of situations: the aging world population, global warming and the ever-rising standards of living. At the spearhead of those who will have to weather these situations just as our leaders have weathered various epidemics and a relatively serious economic crisis are the youths of today, the world leaders of tomorrow.
However, for now, the so-called Generation Y, riding on the waves of the technological revolution, seem to be having the times of their lives, due to their ability to somehow operate almost every device with ease. Together with the fact that they have never faced the horrors of war, the youth of today seem to have never had it so good.
Young people today are submitted to less control than the youths of the past. Due to the fact that elders in the past had much more relevant experience and knowledge for surviving in the working world, knowledge which the youths of yesterday craved, authority was almost unquestionable and almost every aspect of the youths’ lives were taken charge of parents, who would say they had their children’s best interests at heart. However, due to the technological revolution, elders wont to exercise power over their juniors find that their experience has become irrelevant in this digital age, and that the traditional role of authority is fast diminishing as youths of today are actually better informed on how to face the unpredictable working world than their elders, and consequently do not need their advice, giving the old no chance to boss around the young, and have to treat them as equals.
Also, due to the rapidly rising living standards of society, youths today get to enjoy a much more comfortable life than earlier generations ever had. Forty years ago, the only source of entertainment were books and radio stations, with families owning a television few and far between. Nowadays, youths revel in gaming platforms ranging from multiplayer role playing games such as the highly successful World of Warcraft franchise to interactive Wii gaming. They take air-conditioning, high-definition televisions and internet connection for granted. This leads them to have very short attention spans, having a need to be constantly entertained, and with the constant advent to even more advanced technological gadgets available to youths, realizing this need is not a hard task at all.
Youths today are also much more pampered their parents than youths in the past. Perhaps the parents feel that since they have experienced a tough childhood mainly because their parents were unable to provide them with a good one, they work long hours and put in much effort in order to bring home more bread, and then lavish their hard earned money upon their offspring. Coupled with the fact that parents of today usually do not have more than two or three children, they treat them like precious gems, and hope that material advantages will let them lead a better life. This leads youths to be bred as high-class consumers, making quick consumer decision, eschewing any second-bests, whose wants are readily fulfilled by their doting parents.
However, our world has rapidly evolved to become a fast and frenetic one, a world which is extremely unpredictable, and youths either have to master a multitude of skills before treading into the working environment or sink in our unaccommodating society. The government realizes that the country will only survive well economically if they have a generation of working people who are well-suited to handle a wide variety of situations, giving rise to an education scheme pressurizing schools to grill students with difficult projects, assignments and examinations, all in the name of breeding a highly adaptable bunch of adults, resulting in youths facing great amounts of stress, a concept almost unknown of to youths in the past. Due to this, more and more youths are going for psychotherapy sessions to relieve this stress which has become overwhelming, a highly unsettling trend.
Even so, with the many benefits that youths are able to get in life in terms of freedom and material comforts is quite sufficient to offset most problems which youths face in our society today. For the society understands that the youths are our hope for tomorrow, and are only too glad to fulfill these needs. I end with the conclusion that youths of today have never had it better.
OK well it is arguing about present rather than past but…pretty much the same viewpoint. I hope.

Opera-ness
absolutely nothing else to talk about except whatever I tell him during Math Olympiad class.
Yes I know am sad. But.
I think our most recent conversation mostly revolved around…the opera that the opera class is going to make. Or put into production. WhateverYes I know that sounds retarded. Anyway. Ian was for about 50-60% of the time a laughing wreck imagining the various trials and tribulations that Jit Wu is going to face as *drum rolls please for anyone who doesn’t know* EDWARD.
Ian: So see, Jit is currently like this…*draws one flat circle on top of another somehow flatter circle* OK well not so fat but you probably kind of get the idea. And Claire…has to turn him into…this…*draws a guy with…erm…muscular arms and a triangular body. And…*
Me: Hang on…this looks more like a freaking punk-rocker than he looks like Edward.
Ian: Yea I know XD but you see it’s gonna be so fun well doing all this to Jit WOOT
That was probably wrong but I’m quite sure it was what he was feeling XD. But seriously the guys hair was just too droopy for comfort. Anyway.
Bloghopping while doing this (my attention span is seriously to short) and wondering how you link ice-cream with contraceptives. (Actually I think I know but never mind…)
And Ian was like bitching about Claire going to take over everything, which I assume is going to happen to the opera, even though historically it’s supposed to be the composers who get to boss everyone around but never mind cos I can’t care less. Except the fact that this writing business is getting a LEETLE long so if you’re looking HOW LONG HAVE YOU WRITTEN CLAIRE AND IS POSSIBLE COULD YOU HURRY UP.
Actually scratch that cos if she’s REALLY reading this either she’s going to whack me (mild) or she’s going to write more long arias on purpose.
~Si Min why you suggest singing BOO I know you aren’t composing but still…~
Yes I know I’m random in fact I seem to recall this particular conversation occurred BEFORE we discussed slimming Jit.
Ian: You know the Macarena for the Orientation I was thinking of rapping it cos it would sound really cool…and then Claire wanted to have the mike cos she said her sense of rhythm is better?
Me: Isn’t Claire like totally not made for rapping?
Ian: WELL SOMEHOW EVERYONE AGREED WITH HER
Oh man pwned. Luckily the microphone spoiled that day XDXDXD.
Ooh two parents thought their son died then collected the wrong corpse and then their son just comes back home and they were like WTFOMGBBQ.
Damn Ian’s wonderful drawing left marks LMAO.
Me: Look Dr. Chua’s talking to Lim Jeck V2
Ian: Well I think she’s probably much more mature than Lim Jeck then when he was her age. Actually…she’s more mature than him now.
LMAO.
Screw I need to upgrade my live messenger but ~I’m too lazy…~
Anyway…I dunno probably gonna go off. Ansel’s obsession with THE Lim Jeck…THE Yao Rui etc. is getting irritating.
Ian: Who’s whistling? Coming from the front row
Me: Would Ansel whistle? Obviously Sean right.
Ian: Oh so if I go sit in his chair I can probably gain the magical power of THE whistle…
Fine I know you were joking.

AHA
WOOT found time to post. Actually I have too much time to post what with me bringing the notebook to school every single day but I usually prefer to do more productive things on it such as the engaging in the pursuit of net related activities light years more leisurely than churning my brain for what to freaking post. So…I’m posting now.
Just one small problem then. No idea what to freaking post about.
OK then. Random stuff about Friday and Saturday.
So Ms. Li was like saying we HAD to have one female and male mentor rep. And it has to say female on the ID card. Meaning our pet monkey Shreyas didn’t actually count though we have 20+ people willing to testify that he…em…is one.
So. After an unknown decision making process(actually it’s just scissors-paper-stone but let’s not go into details such as that of it being carried out three times—but I digress) Shreyas ended up becoming the…male mentor rep. Claire is the female mentor rep but that’s not really important. Other than the fact that she seems to be more efficient that Tseren and Shreyas combined. (You mean I didn’t tell you Tseren was our male mentor rep?)
So we basically a bit more worried about the lack of our decorations for CNY than we were on Wednesday. Not US as in US 303ians but US as in US Clare and Ms. Li. Who for some reason yakked on and on and on about admin matters on the day we were supposed to put the décor up. Anyway. Claire made us spend mot of the break for that.
Just realized I was about to misspell Claire’s name for the entire blog post.
That was me being random.
In any case me and Jit went over to 304 while doing the decorations (you fan is freaking as fat as you Jit. Proportionally of course. Imagine a fan REALLY as fat as Jit O.O) and I was wondering why we hadn’t procured huge pieces of brightly covered cloth suitable for either Valentine’s or funeral processions.
Did I say something wrong?
Oh never mind. Shan’t bother spelling the name of Ji’s friend either. Although she constantly insists SHE was the one doing all the fantastic curvy looking word work. Or artwork. Whatever you call it.
Eh Candice Dr. Pek ardy agreed to 4KING awesome what’s your prob LOL. And your had to take about 30 minutes lining 4 characters with tape.
Some time later it was Chemistry and Ms. The was like O.o when we told her Shreyas was the mentor rep. But she still could make a joke out of it.
Ms. The: Shreyas…you must be more responsible in your words and actions…you are the female mentor rep now…
But he always was LOLOL
OK Basically the CCA fair was retarded, especially when in the midst of it I was going back to collect my bag and my notebook from the Free-access lab when I realized it was conveniently locked. With no technician on site to help.
Screw.
And me and Jit were like screwing up Tseren’s and Jazlene’s game. But I defend my actions upon the ground that Tseren took about 15 minutes to lose a pawn. At least he was checkmated consequently…and then started blaming me and Jit. (Of which he had every right to but we’ll ignore that)
I can‘t believe I could actually get tired from walking 10 times around the concourse. Waiting for some NCC show that Jit said was planned but didn’t freaking happen. How can you guys sing karoke when your comrade has to stand still on a platform for more than an hour cadets…
Basically it was pretty quiet before the Year Ones came, an occurrence which triggered a shouting match between Choir and NCC drowning out anyone who might have wanted to shout for their CCA.
I am foretelling that we have had a zero intake for Journalism from Year Ones.
I was hearing that Annabeth was being random and telling Mr. Chin to cross dress O.o
Dr. Hang just looks weird sucking a lolly and playing the erhu at the same time.
OOH Realised that this is getting a little long

First post of the new year
Screw only gonna blog about Thursdays and Friday now cos the only fun lessons around seem to be on those days. WHY DO WE GET LSH DAMN
Anyway…just gonna focus on chem lessons. If I’m lucky music might get more fun as we butcher Twilight even more somehow.
(of course occasionally I shall slip in random acts of nature students)
Actually chem. Is only fun because Shreyas likes to talk lots of crap during this lesson which he doesn’t otherwise…seeing as it’s one of the lessons which he doesn’t understand anything the teacher is teaching 90% of the time.
So…just an example or two.
Ms. Teh: (Explains about different p orbitals and subshells)
Shreyas: Er…I don’t understand could you explain it again?
Ms. Teh: OK…these three orbitals are in a shell…
Shreyas: (After a REALLY long pause) HUH?
Half the class: LMAO so simple you can’t understand WTH
Shreyas: OKOK could you er…draw it out?
Class: LMAO you noob
Then later I was staring out of the window for fun and noticed that Ji, Shi Ni and Deborah were carrying a FREAKING HUGE piece of cloth. Then Ms. Teh just had to try and be funny.
Ms. Teh: Oh are you staring at the girls? Which one do you like?
Me: I was just looking at their freaking huge piece of cloth LOL
Ms. Teh: Oh I noticed they are all netball
Jit: Shreyas here says he wants to join netball
Ms. Teh: Oh…but I don’t think we can allow you on the team…
Shreyas(acts shocked) How could you?
Ms. Teh: Well…you would be distracted when playing…
Shreyas: Hmm…I agree…by myself…
So that was us during chem. And approximately 11 of us planning how to mutilate Twilight as well as possible. Screw I somehow know the most about Twilight NUUUU.
Actually I think we already did so by one move.
Jit. Is. Edward.
Ignoring the fact that everyone dies and Galen is his father…well…
‘Nuff said.
I have sworn solemnly never to complete the examples in the notes before the teacher teaches them. Upon the pain of death.
Mine. By boredom.
And we managed to string huge lanterns, strings of airplanes etc.etc.etc. in one day. While every other class has interesting coloured banners proclaiming their class proudly. We don’t even have a class cheer XD.

Till then, adieu...
You opened your gift and found a…Blogpost!
This is gonna be my last post of the year…not sure if I’ll keep blogging so all I can say is have hope!
Have a merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
Heh this sucks I REALLY am beginning to forget. Nvm. Shall complain about class allocation first.
TOTAL BS HOW COME GOT 5 PPL FORM THE SAME YEAR 2 CLASS IN THE SAME YEAR 3 CLASS WTF?
I blame…Mr. Cheong. And I pronounced him wanted on charges of complete non-random-ness, , plotting elaborate conspiracies, the telling of lame jokes, emotional damage and…I dunno, littering. Of students. XD
Ian: I swear ZE and Clarice were put together on purpose
So while Candice was being a pig Bryan was eating the cup noodles which were supposed to be our supper/breakfast/whatever random meal you would like it to be, and discussing Windows operating systems with me KM and Daryl. Then I realized he seemed to have finished eating the noodles but still seemed to be eating some thing so I looked and said Bryan WTF are you doing. Then he said Eating lah LOL and I said Eating what? The soup?! And Bryan was like Yea…while I was like O.o.
Hmm. Somewhere through the night Jit succeeded in punching a huge hole in the covering of a cup noodles’…cup. Jit u so hungry is it I thought u eaten BBQ liao.
Back to the past/present. Candice started to complain about how full she was. WTnoob.
Then God spoke unto my classmates, thou shalt sleep. And thus it came to pass.
And I said unto God, too bad I shalt not.
Apologizing an all Christians and Catholics behalf, what with Christmas so near. Still, I kind of found YX and Clarice sleeping the in the same bed. Both curled up and facing each other. Hmm…at least they weren’t curled up with each other…
And Ji was sleeping grabbing a project paper.
Just a random fact file: Jit Wu’s is an officially proven to be a polar bear, as he has the ability to sleep comfortably in temperatures no human has gone before. That sounds a little dramatic but I can assure you it is not true. Sounds contradictory but who cares.
Anyway, we were REALLY bored and were just walking around for fun. So Me and YX were playing the lame games provided by windows on my laptop, and I was listening to Just Wanna Live REALLY loud while he was playing.
YX: Hang on…where is that sound coming from?
Eric: (who has been lapsing in and out of sleep constantly within the past hour):*shrugs
Me: it’s my song
YX: WTF
Just for your information…he was having earphones on as well.
So then Ji and Ruth and Clarice I think came in and were staring around for a while and wanting to do something.
Well. There was nothing much to actually. I suggested UNO Spin, and it turned out that Nikki was sleeping on it. ZZT. So we slacked around more, until I went to get it out…and subsequently woke up all the girls.
Hmm. More fun now. And we uncovered J.Lau asleep on the TV sofa.
Me: Actually if we just went away and no one noticed he wasn’t with us we could probably just leave him here forever.
OK I’m evil. But he was like sleeping across a sofa positioned right behind a wall. Which covered anything on the sofa from view perfectly.
Anyway we did play UNO Spin, which turned out to be less fail with less people, and Ji insisted that making me or Ruth do dares wouldn’t be fun, so she tried to lose. She did a bad job…but she did it. Unfortunately Mr. Cheong refused to be hugged. Boo.
So let’s just conclude this by saying we left for Changi Village, some guys zao-ed, and Mr. Cheong refused to let us choose our drinks. I was going to order organic orange juice since he was paying…
And my parents being illogical. But who cares.
This is gonna be my last post of the year…not sure if I’ll keep blogging so all I can say is have hope!
Have a merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Ye olde memoria
Back. After a week.
Freaking gale force winds.
I think I left off at the part where…
Oh we chanced upon YX preparing to propose to Candice as part of a dare.
Hmm.
Apparently they already started on this for some time. For Clarice came into our room when we were playing Risk randomly and told Jit he rocked in bed.
O.o
Maybe I kind of missed the fact that we made Clarice to say in bed after every sentence she spoke.
Ah well. Added it in now. But she didn’t continually adhere it. Bad gi-
Hmm. She’d be a bad girl either way.
Back to YX’s proposal. He was holding a…kinda plastic rose. Wonder who brought it WTF.
So Mr. Cheong and I were proposing plans for YX’s proposal.
In reality the Truth or dare was relatively boring. Basically we were continually hugging each other. Or answering the same question. Except the part where we were trying to…urm…make Ruth speak. Mr. Cheong just kept bullying her. Evil guy.
Mr. Cheong retreated sometime afterwards., and couldn’t take it.
Mr. Cheong: Please let me sleep for at least one hour!
LOL that fellow brings papers to mark to this chalet I can’t imagine what he want to sleep for.
Just one question…am I so scary to hug that one would rather do thigh exercises?
So at around twelve, plans that had been hatched were lain into action.
Sounds too drama. But Mr. Cheong’s life with us has always been drama, and just because it’s his birthday shouldn’t make that fact any different.
He was grateful. He SOUNDED grateful.
(Yea, I’m evilling him up)
Then he proceeds to say he has actually booked the chalet for 3 days, and he was going to have a holiday with only his wife.
Me: Didn’t you like say this chalet is too big for the 20+ us? Then when we all leave it will be…the 2 of you…
Well it turns out that he wouldn’t be sticking around. Still.
On a totally unrelated note, we finished all the drinks and wasted lots of food.
On a little more related note, we lost Felix to the night nuu…
I make sound like he was eaten right. Heh. But seriously his parents won’t freaking let him stay overnight till he’s 16?!!!
On a related note, apparently some people’s parent’s were hounding Mr. Cheong then he was like damn scared for our safety.
Hang on, since when was our safety related? Scratch that. It’s something in the wrong place at the wrong time anyway.
OK, so after the tiny birthday party, people crashed. I think. Garn my brilliant memory’s failing me after 3 weeks.
Oh yea I remembered ZE INSISTING on NOT freaking sleeping even though he was going sandcastle making or sth early tomorrow and he looked freaking tired. LOLOL.
Played mahjong through the night.
Ji: What’s the first thing you should do to win?
Bryan: Get a winning combo.
No, seriously, you need J.Lau’s mahjong tiles.
OK admittedly that wasn’t serious either.
Adrian freaking lucker only guy who wins WTF.
Then Candice joined, took a look at the hand that she was given which was crap, and didn’t want to play.
Then random girls came over from the girl’s room to look randomly.
And Nikki slept sitting up in a corner. Talking to YX. I can never be able to sleep not lying down…so I just did away with that unnecessary activity. If it can be considered activityrious.
Creating adjectives is fun.
In the morning Candice went to overstarch herself.
I know starch is good but why fill yourself with such a tasteless thing first thing in the morning…?
Bleh OK I think I can stretch this out for another week, so just hang on there K?
Freaking gale force winds.
I think I left off at the part where…
Oh we chanced upon YX preparing to propose to Candice as part of a dare.
Hmm.
Apparently they already started on this for some time. For Clarice came into our room when we were playing Risk randomly and told Jit he rocked in bed.
O.o
Maybe I kind of missed the fact that we made Clarice to say in bed after every sentence she spoke.
Ah well. Added it in now. But she didn’t continually adhere it. Bad gi-
Hmm. She’d be a bad girl either way.
Back to YX’s proposal. He was holding a…kinda plastic rose. Wonder who brought it WTF.
So Mr. Cheong and I were proposing plans for YX’s proposal.
In reality the Truth or dare was relatively boring. Basically we were continually hugging each other. Or answering the same question. Except the part where we were trying to…urm…make Ruth speak. Mr. Cheong just kept bullying her. Evil guy.
Mr. Cheong retreated sometime afterwards., and couldn’t take it.
Mr. Cheong: Please let me sleep for at least one hour!
LOL that fellow brings papers to mark to this chalet I can’t imagine what he want to sleep for.
Just one question…am I so scary to hug that one would rather do thigh exercises?
So at around twelve, plans that had been hatched were lain into action.
Sounds too drama. But Mr. Cheong’s life with us has always been drama, and just because it’s his birthday shouldn’t make that fact any different.
He was grateful. He SOUNDED grateful.
(Yea, I’m evilling him up)
Then he proceeds to say he has actually booked the chalet for 3 days, and he was going to have a holiday with only his wife.
Me: Didn’t you like say this chalet is too big for the 20+ us? Then when we all leave it will be…the 2 of you…
Well it turns out that he wouldn’t be sticking around. Still.
On a totally unrelated note, we finished all the drinks and wasted lots of food.
On a little more related note, we lost Felix to the night nuu…
I make sound like he was eaten right. Heh. But seriously his parents won’t freaking let him stay overnight till he’s 16?!!!
On a related note, apparently some people’s parent’s were hounding Mr. Cheong then he was like damn scared for our safety.
Hang on, since when was our safety related? Scratch that. It’s something in the wrong place at the wrong time anyway.
OK, so after the tiny birthday party, people crashed. I think. Garn my brilliant memory’s failing me after 3 weeks.
Oh yea I remembered ZE INSISTING on NOT freaking sleeping even though he was going sandcastle making or sth early tomorrow and he looked freaking tired. LOLOL.
Played mahjong through the night.
Ji: What’s the first thing you should do to win?
Bryan: Get a winning combo.
No, seriously, you need J.Lau’s mahjong tiles.
OK admittedly that wasn’t serious either.
Adrian freaking lucker only guy who wins WTF.
Then Candice joined, took a look at the hand that she was given which was crap, and didn’t want to play.
Then random girls came over from the girl’s room to look randomly.
And Nikki slept sitting up in a corner. Talking to YX. I can never be able to sleep not lying down…so I just did away with that unnecessary activity. If it can be considered activityrious.

Death be to us all
We unpacked.
Er…duh?
Ok then. J.Lau started playing mahjong immediately. Sigh.
The rest of the guys…all the three of us…went to explore our rooms. It was easy to identify the one meant for KM and Candice, since she voiced her opinion so enthusiastically the a few months ago. Couldn’t they put Queen in all of them :( Not that I’m sleeping but it cuts some space for us to play something else.
Then Eric and Edith arrived, and we were shouting up an down the house to see if Mit was coming (He didn’t boo the chalet trip could have been so much more fun with that little devil around) and the girls banned the guys from the kitchen for some retarded reason EH I WAN DRINK WATER ONE HOR. (it was somewhere during my wanderings near East Coast that I realized I didn’t bring water SCREW)
Some time later I started to teach my classmates to play Risk.Of course, that was after KM and Daryl were trying to rape Ji Hyun in the same room.And was consequently wiped off the board LOL. Zzt where can move troops from one end of the world to another when the game started LOL. Too bad I couldn’t get the chance to teach them the new Risk I created. Over-complicated for beings below my genius I guess. XD
KM: (when other girls came in) Take it easy girls…I can only do one at a time…
Hmm. Subtle.
Anyway the barbecue began in the middle of it so we left it at that and…watched J.Lau get his hands dirty while I…went cat-hunting.
So after that we spent quite some time fanning up flames. Literally. I got some skills in raising flames from the dead.
Mr. Cheong: Eh cannot take pictures of me not doing work *grabs a random piece of cardboard (yes we were reduced to ripping the cardboard box up to fan the coal)
Daryl: Anyone who’s not working can take a seat.
Well Daryl KM and I was like almost doing nothing for most of the time so we went back to embrace air-son which I finally got to work after trying three times. Does the fan like not know how to respond to simple instructions?
Ji Hyun: (comes and sees KM touching the board) Oh you came to cheat at Risk too?
And Eric comes in. Guess he wanted to cheat too.
So later we went to eat, and I’m not really a judge seeing as I only ate sausages and drank 7-up. Still. The sausages tasted kind of uncooked. But I preferring them to cheong-microwaved potatoes any day. Even if he sweated and bled over it.
I sound like an ingrate XD.
Mr. Cheong wanted to play Eric’s Flight Simulator. So he decided not to ask and just play.
Eric: OI MR. CHEONG WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Well In the end Eric DID let our dear mentor fly some planes. Just that our mentor sucked at that.
The first crash: He was just running along the run way, haven’t even taken off, and he decides to pull up the landing wheels. And he tilts.
The second crash: I was a bad boy.
Me: Hey before mr. Cheong takes over cut off the engines K?
Eric: Hm…that’s a very good idea…
Ok, well, admittedly he was a naughty boy too.
The third crash:
Mr. Cheong: Eh these planes too noob I can’t fly them. Fighter plane more suit my class
Shan’t elaborate. Let’s just say he…crashed…
The fourth crash (Cheong is such a glutton for punishment)
Mr. Cheong: Can I fly the helis they look so fun…
Sometime later…
Eric: You’re falling so fast even the meters can’t register it…Oh you’re rising…Oops falling again…
Fuller than I usually am, I retreated to the TV to watch random stuff including Mark Lee bringing $1000 notes to coffee shops. While J.Lau and gang came up with every way possible to make fuel. They used up the butter, cardboard, tissue, more butter, more tissue, more cardboard, potatoes…
Oh well. Watching TV is better. At least I don’t binge on…charred food.
When everyone was tired of keeping the flames on, about half the class played UNO Spin. Which took…about 2-3 hours.
And Nikki was being random and taking hell lots of pictures for no good apparent reason.
About 2 hours into the game…
Ji Hyun: One has no luck, one has little luck, one is pissed off major and one is…bingeing.
Soon enough it was down to Candice and Clarice.
Ji Hyun: Could then both of you just simultaneously give up?
Candice: NONONONuuuuu!
See we’re just suckers for UNO.
Upstairs the guys were playing epic mahjong games. They finished about 3 in the time we took to finish one UNO game. And consequently gave up on the whole long-ness of it.
Watching Sooraj on America’s Nest Top Model is just…embarrassing…It is decided that he is just unquestionably gay.
And he was one of the freaking judges.
Jit Wu: he’s saying something, but all the judges just ignore him. Even the camera man blocks him out.
Me: Whatever comments he makes is attributed to… background music. Or interference.
For some reason…there seems to be somethingcalled racism going on…but best not to mention it. Later Tyra Banks comes to pwn me.
Jit Wu: Tyra Banks sees the prospective models too hot…so at the end she awards the place to her self.
So after that we played Risk. And taught Bryan how to play.
I’m a sucker for boring people, so here goes the breakdown of the game:
Jit decided Britain had the most powerful Empire during that Age so he planted every reinforcement he ever had or ever was going to have there. The rest of us just spread ourselves out to the continents . But Daryl decided to be a little greedy and try and take two.
Soon enough all of us got what we wanted. Except that…Bryan and Daryl suddenly realized they had only one or two units in each of their territories. So KM moved in for the kill and took over the entire Southern Hemisphere of Continents leaving Daryl and Bryan struggling for survival in Asia.
Jit: Bryan u freaking noob try to one-shot conquer Asia then get pwned now right smartass? No need to take such a big risk cos it's Risk
After I stabilized North America, I decided to accompany Jit who was still just planting everything he got into Great Britain to where the other 2/3 of the class was and saw Mr. Cheong getting pwned at Daidi.
Jit: Bryan your only hope now is just to keep planting in Japan and hope no one notices like me
Me: Actually everyone is noticing just that no one is like daring to hit your diamond fortress.
Quite obviously Bryan and Daryl were soon wiped off the map.
Bryan: (when KM was about to eliminate him with vastly superior troops) You’re making a BIG mistake KM.
Me: Famous last words, Wong
Inevitable me and KM decided to destroy Jit’s fortress.
What? We just didn’t like his face.
And we succeeded WOOT
So me and Jit went over and saw the rest of the class playin—
Going off now. XD
Er…duh?
