WTF.

Hi all. Let me give you a little background before I reveal a shocking piece of information. The time is 2355 hrs, and I'm doing my bio assignment(I DO HOMEWORK). I get bored, so I decide to google my name.

*Opens Chrome*
*Types in "Ooi Teck Chye"*
*Views results*

*1st result: A compo I wrote in P6 that was kept on my primary school website. I read it. They edited it. Those chimps.*

*2nd result: (and this is it, brace yourself)

For those of you too lazy to click the picture and read....here's what the circled parts say.
Circled Sentence 1: Fear of imminent execution
Circled Sentence 2: Ooi Teck Chye, aged 46, Fishmonger
Circled sentence 3: Ooi Teck Chye was sentence to death on 11 September 1991 after being convicted by the Kuala Lumpur High Court of possession of heroin

And I'm sure you guys can see the big WTF in the middle. My mind has currently been blown away by this. I think this is the only guy with the full official name of Ooi Teck Chye in the world apart from me...and he's a loser?

This ranks about a 7 on the Scale of Calamitous Events:
1: I wrote a bad story
2: A bunny died
3: 2 bunnies died
4: Bunny massacre
5: Some funny guy died.
6: Someone I know well died.
7: I died.
8: I died, came back, and died again
9: Many people died
10: 0h n0es 1t'5 t3h ap0c4lyps3 lolololol wtfbbq lollerskaters roflcopter !!!!11!1one!!!
11: A really cute girl died
12: More than one really cute girl died.

I've been able to hit under a minute for 400m at night woots. 59.75 secs if my watch can be trusted(it can). I'm not sure though. Felt like the track I was running(at the neighbourhood park near my house) was more of 380m or 370m. Gonna try on school track someday. I run faster at night anyway. It's more cooling.

Sniping under a second in blackshot woots.

Hi all

I realized that my blog post titles lack a lot of creativity. Anyhoo, I'm very bored. And alicia tagged me on facebook for some reason I cannot fathom....

Ok here's the pic I promised you guys earlier.














night.

Updates

Harlow finally updating since I'm sure all of you miss me. You know, you reader things are weird. Whether I update or not I hardly get any comments so it seems like no one is reading. That doesn't help motivate me you know?

On a lighter note, I got a yoyo. It has a nylon bearing that is supposed to allow it to sleep longer. However, when first practicing my tricks I tangled up my string incessantly, and had to keep using my hands to manually untangle it from the bearing. I rubbed off a lot of the lubricant in the process and decided to use some oil to substitute. Now the bearing is too slippery so I can hardly throw a proper sleeper. Someone give me $25 so I can go buy a new yoyo..?

Nothing much has happened for the past few weeks. It's just boring, boring....boring. I haven't watched any Scrubs in a while since all the links I can find are to videos from Megavideo which has a dickheaded max viewing limit so you can only watch a certain number of minutes of videos each day. That's not the annoying thing. The annoying thing is that it keeps mistaking my IP for other people, which causes me to be unable to even watch a few minutes each day, since other people have used up the time. Which just sucks. Maybe I'll just use my bro's registered account to watch.

Regarding my yoyo, I'm rather happy with the progress I've made. In 3 days, I've remastered the basics:
Sleeper
Forward Pass
Walk the Dog
Rock the Baby,

as well as mastered a few extra moves:
Around the World
Around the Corner
Breakaway
Trapeze

and almost mastered Loop the Loop.

Unfortunately due to the aforementioned bearing problem I've been unable to perfect the Trapeze...so......argh...

It's that time of year again, kids!

It's 3rd August again, and I've passed another year without any severe mental or physical trauma whatsoever. I've never understood why a birthday has to be special. Of course it marks the exact day when you pass another year, but since we're growing constantly, why do we only put aside one day for celebration? I don't have any problems against this celebration, just commenting. It's great that a day comes where you receive presents and stuff for no particular reason.

I don't feel any different, except for the amazing muscle ache and a general stiffness that has developed over the past few hours from a very interesting game of basketball. Anyhoo. This was the gloomiest birthdays I've had so far, with the exception of last year, since that was the worst year of my life thus far. This birthday, as I mentioned to Francis, is like one of the "sad" episodes of Scrubs. Like someone dies or something really serious happens. Everyone is happy in the end, at least a little, but there's this dark, gloomy atmosphere in the air.

Seeing as how I've just mentioned today wasn't VERY special to me, I don't think it's fair to dedicate a whole post to it. So. Talking about Scrubs, I think it's an awesome sitcom and it's just sad that Zach Braff couldn't come back for season 9. I like how they take a usually morbid setting (a hospital) and turn it into a comedy. It's not very often that someone can joke about death on tv. Ok well it is, but it's not often you get a guy who looks dorky enough who's able to make it funny. Not to mention that the constant stream of hot............................................................................................................. attractive women every few episodes makes it that much more interesting.

I don't really have anything much to say. Erm thanks for the birthday wishes and presents, and stuff, generally being what can be considered nice today.

P.S. I know the time of posting says 12:00am, it's actually 10:49pm but you know, since we're gonna go with the whole birthday is special thing let's make it really special right?

TC goes for a jog; ends up in school field of Xingnan

So I just went for a jog. And also some light conditioning. Turns out I have some gastric problem so I didn't really feel like training. I ended up taking a walk. I walk in my usual direction and not really unexpectedly I end up at my primary school, Xingnan Primary. Still, it came as a surprise to me.

Here's some backstory. I haven't been inside the school since I was sec 1. Ever since Lao Gau(the current principal) took over he's implemented a number of annoying rules that make it ridiculously hard for ex-students to visit the school. You have to call one of your primary school teachers beforehand, and ask them to meet you at the security guard post at a certain time so they can bring you in. If not you just have to get very lucky and hope you see a teacher you know. So basically, you need a teacher to be there for you to go in. Which sucks, because it was only implemented the year we left the school.

Back to the task at hand. I'm at the school. It's the fence on the side of the school, which makes sense, since I came from the park, which is towards the side. I look through the fence and from there I can see the field, fitness corner, hard court, and the small area where we used to play soccer with tennis balls and sometimes bottles. Of course the school looks really different at night(8.48pm), but I can still see the specific places where memorable events happened, as if our phantoms were there.

I take a walk around the whole perimeter of the school, and a tidal wave of emotions come over me. I'm not making this up. A tidal wave. However, being me, I have already installed sturdy dams for exactly these kind of things, so I actually manage to break the force of the tsunami. Walking around the darkened campus, I feel this urge to go in and see how the school is like.

Flashback...flashback.....It's primary 6. I'm telling my friends how easy it would be to infiltrate the school at night. All the fences are so easy to climb over, I say.

Back to the present. I'm back at the side of the school. Right on the other side of the metal fence, which by the way is about 2 meters tall, is the field. I spend like 10 minutes discussing with myself whether I should go in. I realize this is trespassing but I really wanted to just be back in Xingnan again. So I tell myself to do what I want to do and I try to enter. Technically, I was right about the school being easy to infiltrate. It is. But practically, it takes awhile to work up the guts. The school is beside the PIE, and is also near the carpark and a few blocks of HDB flats. Me climbing in would look suspicious. I find a spot where drivers from PIE can't see me, and the area is covered by leaves. It's a fair distance away from the carpark, and I wait until no one is even within a 200m radius. Then I climb over. What I wanted to do was this. Our school field is surrounded by a really tall fence. There are two gates leading in and out of the field and I wanted to go through these. I climb over, feeling really excited for once. I rush over all stealthy-like and as I reach the gate I realize........there's a fucking padlock. Who locks a school field? My first thought then was, "Fuckkkkkkk..." I didn't bring lockpicks with me and I didn't have a blowtorch, hand grenade, or gun of any kind, so I turned back. And went back out.

Somehow I felt satisfied at just being inside the field again. I think it was that I actually for once went with my intuition and just did what I felt like doing. It was fun. So somehow I felt that going back in made me a little more human. Because I still get waves of emotion once in a while. Sometimes, you just have to let go and be a little crazy. The benefits are usually greater.

22nd June

Hey guys today is George Carlin's 1st death anniversary. He's one of my favourite comedians of all time, and he died of heart failure last year.

So I just wanted to mention that. Yes, you whiny readers, I posted for the sole purpose of telling you guys that George Carlin died on this day last year.

Hillary Challenge

Hillary Challenge was quite amazing. It was like firing a glock, only to realize that it shoots like a magnum, and have the bullet ricochet back at you and tear your face off because you didn't realize it would be that powerful.

It was very tiring, but was rather fun. To put it into perspective, I would rather go for Hillary Challenge than play through bloody palace on DMC 4. Let me break it down for you.

I reach school at 6.45, and leave school about 15 mins later. Turns out we gotta register by 7.45, and it's at CHANGI. We reach changi about 7.40, give or take 5 mins cos my memory isn't that good. We register, and they give us 1 tray of bananas(about 18?), 20 packets of milo, 9 plastic bags of bread and cake, and a life vest each(they call it a Personal Flotation Device, which I think is quite retarded). We had 9 people there was just enough food. We sit down and psyche ourselves, then go for the briefing. They tell us about the "exciting" events they have in store for us, we cheer and groan, and now we are ready to throw ourselves in the sea.

We begin by gathering about 200-300m away from the first event. Everyone runs in to the ramp leading into the sea. Our life vests are on and we are all rushing for the ramp. 4 of us, me, Bingle, Matthew and Yaoqing go in first. We were originally supposed to swim 150m in the sea, but they reduced it to 50m. 50m in the sea is nothing like 50m in the swimming pool. We swim for quite a while before making it to shore. All the time I'm swimming, it feels like I'm not moving. Eventually we get there, and I realize if i swam 150m I'd be half dead. As I move out of the sea, my shoes are filled with sand. I knew this would happen, which is why I swapped shoes with our reserve before going in. We wait for our other 4 team members, Qiaowei, Shereen, Fangqi and Jesslyn. Qiaowei, Jesslyn and Fangqi appear eventually, but turns out Shereen was comforting and pulling this girl who couldn't swim along.

We rush off to our next event, which for 3 of us is cycling and for the rest is CASEVAC. I happen to be in cycling with Qiaowei and Shereen, so we grab a bike and go. By this time we are in the last 10 teams I think. Qiaowei has trouble mounting the bike because of her height(or lack thereof) and we get slowed whenever she has to dismount, like when crossing the road. I should probably point out that it wasn't our choice to dismount. The people in charge said so. We cycle about 5km or 4....that's the first half of the trip. Then we cycle back to the starting point, which is also the finishing point. On the return trip Shereen hits some guy because he swerved to the right, I swerved off-track to avoid crashing into him like Shereen did right after I went off, because she didn't see I think. We check everyone is okay, then we continue. After we catch up with Qiaowei, she falls down while staring at my back(or so she says) and gets a few scratches(quite deep, she says). Wash the wounds, then we continue. When we reach the place, we are the 2nd last team. Yaoqing and Shereen rush off to outdoor cooking and the rest of us rush off to tent pitching. After a few mins, Shereen comes over and tells me to go help Yaoqing. Apparently he has trouble starting the fire.

I get there, and we decide to light the solid fuel first, then build the fire around it. Soon we get a strong fire going and we cook an egg. Because that's all they gave us. We eat the unseasoned egg(which tasted reasonably good) and then we go for kayaking.

It's a two man kayak, and we set out in 2 teams. first team, Me and Bingle, Matthew and Yaoqing because me and yaoqing have never learned to kayak. We do reasonably well, I think, although Bingle says I suck at kayaking. Then we reach shore and the second team sets out, the girls. They do quite well, and we go from 2nd last to quite near the front, because some teams don't know how to kayak, and Queenstown, who were originally the top few, dropped to the last few. I LoLed.

We move on to the second last station, the sand in my shoes scraping my feet off. The second last station is Orienteering, and it was very confusing. They just gave us a set of instructions and a compass, and we set off. With the instructions were a few questions we were supposed to answer when we reach certain points, and we fill them in accordingly. We do this, and return to the start point. The guy in charge reviews our answers and tell us the last question is wrong. Says there's some colour on a tree, and asks us what the colour is. We guess orange and we get it correct miraculously. We rush off to last station, Rock Climbing/Abseiling.

Matthew is our climber, with Bingle and/or Fangqi as belayer(memories hazy), yaoqing as supporter, and me as anchor. Qiaowei goes for abseiling with Shereen and Jesslyn. She was done even before Matthew started climbing, so eventually we are done with the station, not much going on, and we rush to finish point.

This is the most excruciating point in the race. We race against Gan Eng Seng and are behind them by 3 secs. There would be a total of 12 teams that proceed to the finals. We decide that if Gan Eng Seng is 12, it would suck more than a new vacuum cleaner. As we wait for the results, Zhaiyang(Mr. Reserve) calls Mr. Tan(Tan Chee Yeng) and asks him to buy KFC(lol). He turns up with fried and barbecued chicken wings(apparently no KFC present in the entire district).
Zhaiyang/Bingle: McDonald's leh?
Mr. Tan: You go and find one for me, I go buy for you now.

Anyway, the announcing of the results was slow.
Eventually we came to this: "And the last team to enter the finals......GAN ENG SENG!"

Reaction from Gan Eng Seng: WOO! *screams* *cheers*

Reaction from our team: WALAU EH! SO CLOSE! WHAT THE HELL!

So as it turns out, we didn't get in the finals(BUT SO CLOSE!) but it was very fun. I don't think anyone from our team was to blame for that 3 secs, but thinking about it, we should have probably sprinted for 3 more seconds in the beginning. Ah well, it's over, and I'm both happy and sad(reminds me of a story by Supraman. Tell you later). I didn't feel the ache until about 24 hours after the thing ended(give or take 1 hour), and I slept at 9pm that night(reached home at 7.50).

Anyway, 2 years ago, I was at Camporee in Kuala Lumpur and the Guy in charge was this old indian guy called Supramania something something. He got kind of annoying, and we just called him Supraman. He told us this story about being both happy and sad at the same time. Before that, he looked around, pointed at this guy and said, "What's your name?" "Tan Bao Ren". "Ok you'll be our main character."

"Once upon a time, Tan Bao Rrren was riding a camel in the middle of the desert. Suddenly he heard a voice, "Tan Bao Rrren, pick up the pebbles." He decided to ignore the voice, and he rode on. After awhile, he heard a voice, "Tan Bao Rrren, pick up the pebbles." He thought about it for awhile, then rode on. After awhile, he heard the voice again, "Tan Bao Rrren, pick up the pebbles." So Tan Bao Rrren got off his camel, picked up 3 or 4 pebbles, stuffed them in his pocket, and forgot about them. When he got home, Tan Bao Rrren took out the things in his pocket and put them on his table. He then went to sleep. When he woke up, he saw something bright and shiny on the table. It was the pebbles he picked up. They were actually diamonds covered by the dust, and when he saw this, Tan Bao Rrren was both happy and sad. Happy because he had a few diamonds. Sad because he only picked up 4. So, he was both happy and sad at the same time."

And that's all, folks!

I don't understand how some people can update daily/every few days. There's practically nothing interesting to talk about. Really. Why are you readers interested in reading about the daily life of someone anyway? Let's try.

I woke up this morning, then went back to sleep. HAHAX. I then woke up again at 12pm. OMFG SO FUN RIGHT. I went to the toilet. LOL. I brushed my teeth. WOW. I went to make my bed. AMAZING RIGHT. I ate my breakfast/lunch. HAHAX. I went to bathe. ROFL. I watched Stephen King's It. LMFAO. I feel bored. HAHAX. I have done nothing much today. LOL. But I'm gonna blog about the completely normal and uninteresting things that happened today because apparently people read that stuff. LOL WTFBBQ OMFG ROFLCOPTER LOLLERSKATES.

That caused irreparable damage to my brain. Ouch.

Anyway, about Stephen King's It. Movie based on his book It. The book was awesome, but the movie doesn't do it justice. It lasts about 3 1/2 hours, and the first part was quite good. After that, it gets boring. Very boring. And even that 3 1/2 hours couldn't go into the detail that book had. So it was a very great disappointment if you have read the book first. The thing about Stephen King is that his books are so awesome any guy trying to reproduce them in a movie fails so horribly it's like Ben influenced him. "It" was a slightly better movie, when you consider the other movies based on Stephen King books, but I could probably name a few better movies I would rather watch than It, especially considering I could have watched TWO movies during the time it took to watch It. That said, I would still have watched it even if I knew it was going to be this bad because
a) Tim Curtis playing Pennywise was just hilarious.
b) Pennywise is the number 1 clown in terms of amusement, intelligence, scare factor, and his great urge to kill children, something I can associate with.
c) It was based on a Stephen King book.

And now for something completely different.

The Girl to Guy Lexicon.

Many times, guys have felt puzzled at why girls have said one thing and behaved in another. Here I provide my own lexicon which is also greatly in part inspired by many joke websites, but I'm not gonna openly admit it(oops) because that's how jokes work, you steal them from someone but don't tell anyone so people think you're the funny one.

Me in the D&D world

I've always wanted to know how I'd be in the D&D world. So I took a few tests, and this is what I found out.....

My character stats:
STR: 10
DEX: 17
CON: 16
INT: 17
WIS: 16
CHA: 11

You can test for your stats here: http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/terragf/back/xstattest.html

Interesting. With a strength of 10 and a charisma of 11, those are my only low scores. This means I can be a rogue, ranger, monk, cleric, paladin, wizard, sorcerer, druid, or bard. High constitution suggests that I can tank too. woots. A tanking wizard. how cool is that.

Now to find out what character class is most suitable for me.

You Scored as Bard It is said that music has a special magic, and the bard proves that saying true. Wandering across the land, gathering lore, telling stories, working magic with his music, and living on the gratitude of his audience: such is the life of a bard. Ranger 100% Druid 100% Bard 100% Sorcerer 90% Rogue 90% Fighter 80% Barbarian 80% Monk 80% Paladin 60% Cleric 60% Wizard 60%

Interestingly, I'm a 100% on Ranger, Druid and Bard. My lowest scores are 60% on other stuff. Basically this means I can take almost any class and excel at it. Theoratically. The test suggests that i take bard, but if we look at my charisma, which is a pathetic 11, I'm gonna be a so-so bard. Although my bardic spells will be quite powerful. Now bardic spells can boost charisma, so that shouldn't be a problem. Alright I'm a bard. Now for the Race.

What D&D race are you most like? Human The Normal everyday human being, nothing special.

Alright, I'm a Human Bard with unusually high Dex, Con, Int, and Wis. That's cool
Now on to the most important thing. Alignment.

Your Character’s Alignment

Based on your answers to the quiz, your character’s most likely alignment is Neutral Good.

Neutral Good

A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. The common phrase for neutral good is "true good." Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order.

--excerpted from the Player’s Handbook, Chapter 6

You can test for your Alignment at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20001222b

Alright, Neutral good. So I'm a Neutral Good Human Bard with unusually high stats.

Now if instead I took a single test to decide everything, what would it be?


Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.

Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.

Primary Class:
Barbarians live outside the 'civilized' They have tribal goverments, and are often nomads. What they may lack in refinement is balanced by there strength of individual character and ability to survive.

Secondary Class:

A Chaotic Good Elf Barbarian. Which makes it that much more interesting because Elves tend to have lower STR and CON stats which make them lousy barbarians.

That's All Folks!
