After a rather saddening event just now, I got to thinking about modern society. Are we really that advanced? Quote, "Our society only focuses on academics now", from an "intellectual". Is that true? If so, then essentially our RV life is worthless. Aristotle claimed that ethics is a practical science. It can only be learned through practice, and not reasoning. In today's society, everyone is saying they don't value academics as much as other things, such as social abilities, critical thinking skills and the like. If one does not practice ethics, how can one hope to be valued in today's modern society? And yet, the fact remains that today's society is hopelessly biased towards those with great academic acheivements. No university cert? No job. At least not one our current society would deem "worthy". How can we be so shallow, that one must be able to understand such a wide diversity of things, and only be required to use a small amount of that wide diversity of things? Wouldn't it be so much smarter to FOCUS on the small area? How can well educated people be so shallow? They're supposed to be...well educated! That means, apart from being academically capable, they're supposed to be able to think well! Thinking well does not include thinking that academics are the only important thing!
I thought of another point. "No man is an island"? Is that truly so? Is the human race one whole? If we are, then the human race is one emo kid. We're killing each other over the world. That's like slitting yourself. If we truly came together, we would advance much faster. But then, is advancement truly good? Look at us. 10,000 years ago, the human race truly was working together. A small group of homo sapiens, banding together for the sole purpose of survival. Now that survival is no longer a big problem for us, are we to shatter that bond, that one day we might return to what we were like 10,000 years ago? When every day brings with it the risk of death, be it an angry rampaging mammoth or a misplaced nuclear warhead? I think that somewhere along the way of advancement, we got too complacent. Humans are now officially one big arrogant blob. At least we're the same in that. Why is it that the same people who would not hesitate to help an old lady cross the street are the ones who are throwing bombs across international borders? Are we living in a world of pure irony now? Are there no old ladies crossing the streets in Iraq? What has come of this, when crossing the street means risking a warhead dropping on you?
And I haven't even started talking about the average teen yet...................

Down with the flu.....
Raindrops keep falling on my head........well, no raindrops.....but i'm down with the flu.....so i took the opportunity to pon school =D. Quit the whining, I'm an opportunist. Damn ammonia. Never taking a whiff of that damn thing again. Wednesday science practical I accidentally inhaled ammonia...Gave me a sore throat, then after the sore throat i got a flu....speaking of science practical...i never did unlock that drawer i locked on wednesday...well...i'll probably get back to it 2 weeks later.
Spent half the day....well..the whole day, playing RTW....finally destroyed the senate, though i pissed off the 2 factions who can parallel my strength. Below is a nice screenshot of a near impossible battle i fought.
If you'll look at the numbers, you'll see i deployed 500 men and was left with 400, while the enemy deployed 1.2k men and was left with 200.
Not the best thing in the world. But before it, there were 2 other battles.
1st battle Me:1000 Enemy: 1000.......Result Me:800 Enemy:90
2nd battle Me: 800 Enemy:1000........Result Me:500 Enemy:87
3rd battle(the above one) Me: 500 Enemy: 1.2k.....Result Me: 400 Enemy: 260
and all the battles were back to back......gets strenous on the mind...
Playing RTW always makes me feel like a military genius....oh another battle happened way after that where it was 400 to 1600....i was the 400, guess who won. I managed to stay inside my city and hold them off...not easy, considering they managed to get onto my city walls before i was able to stop them...amazingly, 9 samnite gladiators and 25 legionary cohort managed to hold off nearly 200 soldiers....and the result....2 samnite gladiators and 5 legionary cohort left, 0 enemies left. and on the other side of the walls, 90 legionary cohort held off nearly 200 soldiers as well...they still had about 150 plus troops left, plus about 700 in reinforcements which, for some reason, never decided to join the battle. I swear I was *THIS* close to annihilating those fools when the time ended and the game declared it a "close victory".....right after i won however, 1.3k troops instantly besieged my city again, upon which i got pissed and just saved game and quit...hmm...i think i'll go back and kill them all now!
EDIT:
A battle happened when i went back. 210 against 1160.
Such a pity...they could have joined my army instead of dying against it. oh by the way if you count the troops at the bottom its 2+5+6+11 = 24. i suppose the of the 52 mentioned remaining, 28 were wounded, and not killed....

Hmm.....
Well its 0951.....Both my parents don't allow me to go to the class outing....Might try again later when my mum comes home....Well for now let's have a psychological analysis of a certain "17 year old"....
The following is a blog post by him.....
"nothing much happened today.
shall blog about my family.
My hatred is becoming more&more..
my sis told me to wash tortoise,
ok, i didn't wash, its my fault.
she kept saying&saying,
pushing me nearer to the edge.
she even acts like shes matured,like a mother&lecturing thing.
fucker,
i tell you, get a life,
grow older please, you're 20..
soon to an young adult.
even my friend's sister 19, behaves&is much more matured than you.
get this fucking thing in your brain can you?!
zzz.
&you're like another contradict.
But its worst,
cause you're my sister. OMG?! Zzz..
You can drag time,
what makes me can't?
You think you're always right,
get this fuck thing in your brain sis,
sometimes you are,
but please dont act smart if you dont know. Its fuck arrogant. _l_
I told my mother,
she just kept quiet.
so what if my sis went in exp,
then JC, study is it that important,
grades?
well, not everyone got a good job from studying.
i though you read newspapers?
well, bear that in mind then.Zzz
Yes, i look dumb,
i went to NA,
didn't get pass sec 5,
i'm always using comp.
SO?!
doesn't mean that i dont study,
doesn't mean you can look down on me,
doesn't mean i can get trampled on,
& it doesn't mean I am stupid.
You said,
don't compare,
in the end you still do.
&DAD,
nothing much,
cause I didn't quarale with you, YET.
zzz,
if i can choose,
i would live alone
or with my friend/brothers
or just with dear.
just give me my allowance,
thats all. no need other thing.
or just treat me as a stranger at home,
let me do what i want
&as well give me the money.
i've got good friends,
i've got a good girlfriend,
i've got good classmates,
'ive got good brothers&buddies,
BUT
i've got a bad family."
Firstly, let's ignore the grammar errors ok. after all its very common for a supposedly average IQ 17 year old to be having the grammar capabilities of a primary 4 student.....right?
now.....
"My hatred is becoming more&more..

The above passage is interesting in the plain irony in sight......
"&you're like another contradict.

I couldn't understand this part.....can anyone translate?

again, the irony........
"I told my mother,

17 year old boy running to mummy..........

Well I think I can see that his mum is trying VERY HARD not to judge him.....After all, he does have a somewhat successful sister......well in this case I think its a wonder his mother hasn't disowned him yet. You'll see why later.... Well I'm always using com as well...so....not much of an excuse for him... And..... I don't suppose getting into NA, dropping out, and having the linguistic and reasoning capabilities of a primary 4 kid is being stupid.....absolutely not....after all, that's how every human is like right? even at 17 years old?
"&DAD,

'ive got good brothers&buddies,
BUT

well for those of you that can't stand much more of his wonderful grammar and rhetorics, let me summarise. He says that he hasn't argued with his dad yet, wants to live alone with his "friends/brothers" or "just with dear".....as long as they give him his allowance.....So....His family, who cared for this ingrate for 17 years, raised him properly(well, maybe not so properly....), and gave him more than enough spending money for 17 years, are not even as good as his so called "good friends" and "brothers and buddies".........that's kinda interesting, considering that he says he wants to live away from home, but wants his parents to continue giving him allowance. The fact that his parents give him allowance is more than enough proof that they're better than his buddies and friends...I doubt that his friends would give him allowance, a house to live in, or food and water for 17 years....And the word allowance.....It's an amount of spending money given to a youth....Basically, the parents "allow" him to spend the money, hence the word allowance. I'd like to see this guy survive in the real world.....Those in favour, check out the rest of his hilarious blog......
P.S. I realized that his posts had the substance of what I used to write in p3 and 4...well....without the poor grammar and rhetorics...
The following is a blog post by him.....

SURPRISE!
surprised? i actually posted because i felt that a)many events have not been accounted for and b)nothing else seems particularly appealing right now(except maybe....ah nvm....)
I can't remember what all those events I didn't post about were....not all of them at least. PLTC is still clear in my memory so let's do that...
PLTC: really slack. like...girl guides standard. no offence to any guides. you're girls *smirk*....
anyway, after PLTC I found out something about myself. Previously I thought i hated ACS people. PLTC has completely....well not completely....changed that opinion. Now I no longer hate ACS people. now I HATE ACS people. They're just really slack(hold pumping position 1 and a half minutes, anyone?). PT was hilarious. 3 PUMPING! THREE! I know there's that number 3 thing with scouting....we could have done 33 pumping instead. But we did THREE! Not to say that I didn't appreciate having a RELAXED camp, but I just find it some what amusing. Pretty much nothing big happened....Toilet had shit floating in it and the flush didn't work...huakai won best camper award(someone is trying to be funny....).
S1 still owns the shit outta S2 anyway....We have SMILEY!
anyway......
Here are the answers for the previous post that I have decided to display: NONE! you reader things really disappoint me....... :(
Here are my Midyear resolutions(nobody said we couldn't do things like that....)
1.Work hard..........................................................TO LEARN THE CARLTON DANCE!
2. 3.7GPA for the rest of the year. This means at least 1 4.0 and 1 3.5. its crazy, but workable. I've always been a fan of crazy ideas myself anyway.
Nothing much to post about....that's all

Some Interaction
Alright I've decided that its time for some interaction with my readers. I'm keen to know how you guys think. So I've set a few questions. If you don't mind, please answer using the comment system. If you mind, please answer using the comment system.
First question:
I thought of this one at dinner just now. Train of thought was......saw a crab shell that had sharp spikes->can kill->dead body->how to settle.
Therefore, I would ask you guys....
Suppose one evening you went to visit this guy. You killed him with a sharp crab shell. How would you handle it? Please take the time to answer to this in the comments.
Second Question:
Just thought of it.
Suppose you had to choose between killing an innocent man and saving your own life. If you killed him, you would be alive but half of your body will be paralyzed(you choose which half). If you save him, you DIE. What would you do?
Third Question:
Suppose you're a billionaire with a 7 digit income MONTHLY. You are asked to kill an innocent man to preserve your career. Would you do it?
Fourth Question:
There's a man who tells you his dad is immortal. His dad can do everything and he knows everything. His dad loves everyone, but if you don't believe in his dad you burn. Do you believe him?
Fifth Question:
This is the last question.
Suppose you're walking along on the street one day. A man asks you to kill him, saying that it is required to "preserve the balance". You have no idea what he means. Do you kill him?
That's all. I'm keen to know how you people respond to this. To make it fair, I'll answer the questions too.
1.I would bleach the guy, and pour bleach down his throat. This destroys all evidence. Then I would wash the crab shell, put the guy in his bathroom, and make him hold the crab shell. Then I'll check around for any evidence I might have left, and look around for a pair of gloves so I can touch things without leaving fingerprints. Pick the guy clean of any fibres I might have dropped, then vacuum the area. After that, I'll leave the area when no one is looking and pretend nothing happened. I would arrange for someone to say I was with them at the time of murder should the cops catch on to me.
2.Save the guy. If I kill him, I would be half paralyzed. I hate the thought of being paralyzed. I might as well die. If I die, the guy would be perfectly fine, and can lead a normal life from then on.
3.No. I already have billions. I'll just sell off any unnecessary stuff I have(like an oversized house) and live a simple life. Billions can last me a lifetime even if I splurge. You guys know me, what am I likely to splurge on. NOTHING. Well, almost nothing. so that lasts me a long time.
4.No.
5.yea.
That's all guys. Here's a joke:
A woman was walking on the street when a genie appeared. He said, "I'll grant you 3 wishes but everything you get, your husband gets 10 times of." So the lady goes, "I want to be the most beautiful woman on earth." The genie says,"Ok, but this will make your husband the most handsome man on earth, and women will flock to him." Woman says, "Its alright, because I'll be the most beautiful woman on earth, and he will only have eyes for me." Then she wishes to be the richest person in the world. Genie says, "This will make your husband 10 times as rich as you." Woman says, "It's okay, since what's his is mine, and what's mine is his." So she becomes the very rich and her husband becomes richer. Then she said, "I want to have a mild heart attack"
Moral of the story: Women are smart, don't fuck around with them.
If you're a woman, stop reading now.
If you're a guy, continue.
The husband got a heart attack 10 times milder and nothing bad happened.
True Moral of the story: Woman are dumb but think they're smart, so fuck around as much as you want.
If you're a lady and still reading this, it only shows that women DON'T FUCKING LISTEN.
Just kiddin'. Tell all your guy friends and female friends who have a sense of humour.

Hey
I'm back from the hike....well actually i was back approx. 15.5 hours ago. Overall hike was fun. I learnt that MacRitchie Reservoir has ridiculously long board walks. The atmosphere at night is damn cool. Darkness all around, with spots of moonlight here and there. Shortly before checkpoint 1 we saw this woman who was walking alone down the road. Towards us. At that point of time I was still munching on my Double Cheeseburger which I smuggled in and was squashed partially. They decided that it was unsafe to stay any longer(we were stopping for a short break) so we quickly got up and left. Later when we turned back to look the woman wasn't there. I find it hard to believe that a woman would go to MacRitchie reservoir ALONE for a WALK at 11PM on a SATURDAY. and since she disappeared it means she must have gone into where we came from, which was a dark forested area. wtf?
So anyway, the rest of the hike was uneventful. Being the last patrol to leave, we had all the sec 4s in charge of the checkpoints following us. Police car stopped us once. I think they're STILL searching for our dear escaped JI leader. We reached the end around 3.30-3.45am. i didn't know cos i didn't have a watch or my phone. The end point was carpark B. We saw a black car. with a couple inside. They were fucking. Of course, being the last patrol we didn't see it. They were just sitting inside the car. I shall not go into details to avoid polluting my oh-so-innocent readers.
I died at 4.20am, slept to 5.20 on wet grass patches, then did a substandard skit about the hike. talk talk a bit, went home. i spent the day sleeping and playing rakion.
Here's a little racist joke our senior told us during the hike.
Why do indians celebrate Deepavali?
Because Deepavali is the festival of light, so they can finally be seen at night.
not so funny, but it helped to keep our spirits up during the hike. no offense to any indians out there because the basis of this joke is that indians have a dark skin tone. there is nothing bad about that, and the only reason you would feel offended is if you feel that there is.

Hey guys
Hey guys time is 1125 as of now. Few hours before i leave for PLC meeting then straight to hike. I will be inactive until 10am the next day EARLIEST.
I have finally managed to download rakion. Apparently my restricted mental capability failed to infer that the failed download attempts was due to a minor problem with firefox. For about 6 months. so.... I finally decided to try using IE, and it WORKED. I still don't know what it was about firefox that made it not work, since i like firefox more than IE. oh well.
For those interested, when i play rakion, i'll always be in singapore 1 server. Look for some funny bs called SiBotakJr. Don't even question me about the origins of that name.
Fairly short post today....nothing much. weather sunny, skies clear....blah blah blah. Hope I don't die after hike. or during.
my tone now is kind of...lazy, for those of you who couldn't infer from the above....
OKAY. a few HowTo guides, then eating and packing, then resting.
HowTo kill ants:
This is fairly simple, but there are ways to extract maximum enjoyment from this.
1.Liquid paper. surround the ant with it quickly, then slowly go in a circle closer and closer to the ant. don't touch the ant directly. let the liquid paper slowly flow to the ant and cover it.
2.Fire. You can:
a)torch it with a match
b)torch it with a lighter.
c)torch it with a stove.
d)torch it.
or just to see it writhe in pain, light a match then after 2 secs blow it out. the head will be hot. infer.
3.Pens. you can impale it with the tip of the pen.. or let it get to the spring and then compress the spring..
4.Spiders.
This is a little difficult due to the fact that there aren't many spiders that can be easily found that are hungry, and it involves picking up the ant, which you might kill while doing so.I suggest keeping a small tank with spiders in it. that way you don't worry about the spiders being hungry. they will be. and you don't have to worry about starvation. if they were really starving they'll eat each other.
pick up the ant gently. try to grab a leg or something. otherwise, maim it slightly, though this takes a bit of fun out because it has 0 chance of getting away from the spider while maimed. drop it onto the spider's web. sometimes, especially if you're using a tank, the spider's web will be more of 3d than 2d, and so cannot trap food very well. but the ant vibrates the web and lets the spider know its there. so just watch. oh by the way, it helps to put stuff in your tank. stuff that your spiders can anchor a web on. i have a mcdonald's cup in mine. you can put a twig..or an old mouse(the computer mouse). anything that isn't flat on all sides. and preferably can reach to half the height of the tank.
that's all.

???
Today's post will be about behaviorism. So if you aren't interested in behaviorism skip to the bottom. Anyone noted that after leaving primary school alot of your friends have become more bengish/lianish/assholy?
I'm interested in what causes this to happen. Before you just go, "its the secondary schools", I've obviously thought of that. You're probably thinking they go to a lousy neighbourhood school which is a bad influence to them. What is interesting is that the people that influence them were once the same as them. What causes this difference in characteristics? Is it just a natural change? Or is there something more? 2 views I've gotten:
Qiken: "influenced by porn"
huh? how does porn drive one to begin smoking and being an ass?
Vanessa: "c'on all these are common sense...........the experience. everyone has different experience"
They all went through the same thing. How is it that for 6 years they remained unchanged but in 2 years they can change so much?
If we can term it like this, let's use the alignment scale from the D&D games. There's
Lawful Good:
Doing good and abiding by the law.
Neutral Good:
Guided by conscience, acting altruistically.
Chaotic Good:
Willing to do anything to do good.
Lawful Neutral:
Believing in lawful concepts, such as honor, tradition.....etc.
True Neutral:
Believing in neither good nor bad, an example being a farmer whose only concern is to feed his family. And most animals, since they lack moral judgement.
Chaotic Neutral:
Follows his/her heart, and shirks rules and tradition.
Lawful Evil:
Believing in exploiting the law to benefit oneself. While they usually obey orders and keep their word, they don't care about the rights and freedoms of others.
Neutral Evil:
Selfish. Has no hesitation about harming others to get what they want, but will not go out of their way to cause trouble when they see no benefit.
Chaotic Evil:
Little respect for rules, other peoples' lives, or anything but their own selfish desires. They typically only behave themselves out of fear of punishment.
According to this list, mostly you see people falling into the Neutral Good category when in primary school. However you begin to see them falling into the Chaotic Evil category in secondary school. What is it that causes a complete drop on the scale? From 1 side straight to the other. Think about it. Humans are naturally resistant to change in what they see as a state which they are content with. What would cause a sudden change like this? With that "Neutral Good" mindset, they would be pretty much content with their lives at that moment. What would cause them to suddenly shift to a Chaotic Evil mindset? Or perhaps they are not truly Neutral Good. D&D has also realized the inflexibility of this moral scale, and has implemented several changes. Something like a mix between the alignments. Such as an Evil character with a touch of Neutral. So it is possible that they could be Neutral Good and partially Lawful Evil. This Lawful Evil eventually overpowers the Neutral Good personality, and turns into Chaotic Evil. This is one way to explain it. However, I still find it weird. It takes 13 years for someone's true personality to manifest, whereas there are no changes in other people?
I realize I may have left out some points in the above text, but I'm very tired and have an activity tomorrow morning. So I'll end off with an introduction to the art of TULPA.
Tulpa is a Tibetan art of conjuring. It is the concept of a being or object created through sheer willpower alone.
One Alexandra David-Neel was visiting an artist. She saw a form behind the artist, and could feel a soft substance that could be compressed easily to touch. She asked the artist about it, and he says he has been engaging in rituals to conjure the image gods he drew, and what she saw was an outline of one of the gods. She became very intrigued by it, and decided to try it out for herself.
She went into retreat, and over months tried to conjure a fat, jolly monk. She eventually created the monk, and the "monk" travelled with her and her companions. He began to appear when she did not call for him, and exhibit lifelike characteristics, such as pausing to look around. Then he became corporeal. Her companions started asking about the "stranger" in their camp. The monk began to grow lean and had a sinister look. One day a herdsman brought her some local produce and mistook the monk for a real man. She realized that this monk was growing malevolent, and decided to destroy it. It took her six months, but she finally did it.
Therefore, tulpa, though interesting, is dangerous. Most reported tulpa creations have been known to kill their masters, or disappear after being sent on a mission, never to be seen again. So, don't try it out. If you do, and something bad happens, get the hell outta there, and find a way to subdue your tulpa as soon as possible. The longer you let him/her/it free, the more it will have lifelike tendencies, will grow fond of life, and will be harder to remove. You will be in danger.
So let's end off with jokes:
A quote:
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, France is accusing the US of arrogance and Germany doesn't want to go to war."
While a Scot is pissing, a dollar falls into the toilet. Desperately, he looks at the dollar and asks himself whether a dollar is worth getting his hands dirty. After a while of thinking, he takes 10 dollars out of his pocket and throws them into the toilet."Well, it's worth getting your hands dirty for eleven dollars!"
One woman stops a taxi. To the airport, please.After ten minutes the taxi driver, watching the woman in the mirror, says: "You are the third pregnant woman that I have driven to the airport today." "Are you kidding me, I am not pregnant." "Well, you haven't arrived to the airport yet either."
This is why I didn't show up for work yesterday. I was cleaning out my wife's grandpa's cellar and found 12 bottles of his home-bottled grape wine under the steps. My wife told me to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or else. I agreed to do the unpleasant task.I withdrew the cork form the first bottle and poured the contents down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork from the second bottle, did likewise, and drank one glass, just to check the taste to see if the old fellow knew his wine making. He did.I then opened the third bottle, and poured it, too, down the sink, but not until drinking one full glass to check the purity. It was very good. I did this, also with the fourth bottle. One glass for myself, and the rest down the sink. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next, and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork from the bottle, then corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink and drank the pour.When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were 29, and as the house came by I counted them again, and finally had all the houses in one bottle, which I drank. I felt so foolish that I couldn't go upstairs and congratulate my wife to tell her what a great winemaker her grandpa was. I will do that after climbing the basement steps the next time they come by.

Hmm
I've been living through plain contrast recently. It seems that I'm having extremely bad luck in life and I'm having extremely good luck in my dreams. I've just been getting lots of bad luck. 2 nights ago I dreamt I got a drum set and something else(don't remember). Last night I dreamt that I was able to parkour perfectly. Someone is having a lot of fun messing with me. Well, time for the good luck spell....and breaking any possible curses..
