Now, back to things I've done over the past 2 months

Watched Scrubs

Watched 3 episodes of House

Had a debate with myself lasting 2 seconds regarding whether I should be vegetarian.

Learned about baseball

Learned the German word for toy balloon(luftballon)

Revisited Rock from the 70s,80s and 90s.

Watched a stand-up routine by Robin Williams on youtube

Done almost no homework

Blasted music loud enough to make the walls vibrate

Played basketball

Some training here and there.

Played flash games on MoFunZone

Generally wasted a lot of time online doing crap

Read The Last Guardian

Re-Read Cell by Stephen King 3 times, making it a total of 4.

Probably a lot more other stuff, but I seem to have forgotten. Anyway I started the post wanting to write about something but because of that long list I just wrote out I forgot what it was. This post was just to let you guys know I'm still alive anyway. Ok seeya.

Ok never mind I came up with something to write about.

Seriously, what is the deal with Korean boy groups? Notice I don't say bands. That's because they're not bands, really. If you want to be called a band, you have to play an instrument. Therefore, boy GROUP.

And quite frankly their "music" is horrible. It just gets really annoying. If I want to hear something mediocre repeated over and over again, I listen to either the badger song or the llama song. And girls going crazy about them isn't helping my impression of them. I know that sounds a lot like something a jealous prick would say, but it's not because girls like them that I don't like them. It's because of those annoying fangirls who squeal/shriek/scream/other annoying action whenever they see a picture of the group, or whenever they're mentioned, it just makes me want to punch both the fangirl(s) involved and the boy group. It's also because they aren't really anything much, and yet people are obsessed with them. You don't see me bashing Greg Valentino when people admire his ridiculously huge arms. In summary, fangirls, you can like them, just don't do any of the following when people are around:

Play their music really loudly

Scream

Squeal

Shriek

Try to convert people into liking them (I swear it's almost a religion)

Since we're on the subject on fangirls, I'd like to talk about Edward Cullen as well. Most of you know my disposition towards him but I'm gonna say it anyway. Robert Pattinson is not hot. Edward Cullen is a creepy stalker. Seriously, he looks like a slightly(ONLY SLIGHTLY) thinner version of Jack Black. Don't believe me, here are two pics for comparison:

Now why don't I hate Jack Black even though Robert Pattinson looks like him? Because he's cool. He's fat, and proud of it. He's an awesome rocker, and he's funny. Robert Pattinson.....

Anyway, I don't really mind that people like Robert Pattinson. He does what he needs to make money. Now Edward Cullen is.....he's a lousy guy.

He's way older than Bella. It's like dating someone your great grandpa's age.

He sparkles in the sun. Really, Stephanie Meyer? That was the best you could think of?

Sneaks into bedroom to watch Bella sleep. Ok man we know you love her but..that shit is crazy.

Stalks Bella wherever she goes. Same point as watching her sleep

Control freak. Same point as above.

That said, I'm not really understanding how people can go crazy over Edward Cullen. He's crazy and creepy, and he's as old as your great grandpa.

Things that tick me off.

I'm bored, so lucky you, here's an update.

Today's post will be about things that tick me off.

Things that tick me off:
People who abruptly cross my path within 20cm.
People who stare at me when I'm in scout uniform
People who walk really slowly and don't realize they're blocking a whole bunch of people.
People who think humans are superior to all other life on this planet.

Things that make me want to punch someone in the face:
People who glare at me.
People who wear sunglasses INDOORS (EXCEPT Horatio Caine/David Caruso. Because he's cool like that)
People who don't shut up after being told more than once by different people.
People who lie blatantly and refuse to admit it.
People who eat fast food then opt for "healthier choices". It's fast food.
People who condemn a man before judging the facts themselves.
People who run for the escalator at boon lay mrt, but walk when they get off the escalator.
People who are willing to walk an extra 20 meters to take the lift as opposed to taking the escalator(except of course those with prams, heavy luggage, sick people and pregnant ladies.)
People who listen to chipmunk versions of songs. It's really annoying, people.
People who acknowledge the existence of a genre of music known as "Pop Rock". It's like saying Homosexual Heterosexual. Pop and Rock are TWO DIFFERENT GENRES THAT CAN NEVER BE FUSED.
People who sing parts of songs in an endless loop. Regardless how awesome the song is, even singing the whole song over and over again can get annoying, let alone just parts of it.
People(This one only applies to males) who wear skinnies without fulfilling one of the following criteria:
Be a Rock Star
Be pure awesome.
Be very muscular.

People who are SERIOUSLY trying to be someone they're not, e.g. Singaporeans acting Ang Moh, white guys acting gangsta.
People who beat up other people for just looking in their direction, though they call it "staring".
People who act tough but run from confrontations.
People who like Twilight/Edward Cullen/Anything related to GLITTERING VAMPIRES.
People who have no sense of humour.
People who scream at everything.
People who are fat, but fully capable of slimming down.
People who think music can be "satanic" and that Stairway to Heaven actually plays a satanic message when reversed.
People born between 1980 and 1997 who cannot recognize the riff from Smoke On the Water
People who think Scrubs is a show about cleaning the house.
People who are not in awe of Steven Tyler's mouth.

That is all. By the way you may have noticed the addition of the twitter thing above. I saw Lum Wan shopping for winter wear at JP and thought, "if only I could post this to my blog now". There are so many things that are interesting which do not warrant a full blog post, hence, twitter.

This is my......5th? 6th? untitled post. It's simply because I'd rather get right to the topic and not waste unnecessary time on thinking of a title.

Anyway, the past 1 or 2 weeks I've spent listening to the old bands, hearing covers and stuff. I was reading up on Kurt Cobain(guitarist and singer of the band Nirvana) and I got to the part about him supposedly killing himself. His suicide note said that he hadn't felt the excitement of listening and creating music in years. I was thinking then about how music has changed over the past 30 years. There's no point even comparing the bands from the 80s and 90s with the bands now because when you think about it, Boys Like Girls? Really?

Then you read up on the old bands. Guns 'n' Roses, Nirvana, The Beatles, Led Zep....some great bands have broken up because of factors that were beyond our control. With GnR, it's an inevitable dispute because all of them were really powerful, and power clashes. Nirvana, Kurt died. Beatles, only Paul is alive now. And with Led Zep, John Bonham died. And I was thinking, with these guys gone, will music like that ever come by again? Slowly -- ok maybe not so slowly, pop is taking over today's generation. We have people saying Jonas Brothers are "really talented". COME ON! Really talented is Metallica. Really talented, Slash! John Lennon! Robert Plant! Jimmy Page! These people are really talented, not gay guys who get millions just for being able to hold a guitar and whine on stage. I would list more names but this post would just become a really long list.

So people, do you want music like they used to make it, out of 100% awesome, or do you want thousands of gay fags with guitars diluting music because they want chicks and money? Oppose the rise of gay music. See what it's done to bands like Linkin' Park. Used to rock, don't rock now. More and more we see people making music for money, not for music.

I don't think bands like GnR, Led Zep, will come by again, judging by the way music is going now. This makes it all the more sad if the 2012 prophecy doesn't come true. If it does, there's only 3 more years of bad music to endure. If it doesn't, the world is rather permanently screwed. So what we can do is to keep their flame alive. Keep the good music here. Some people have asked me, "Why are you listening to that song? It's so old." Well guess what, we listen to music because it's good, not because those songs are new. Doesn't make a damn difference if the song came out in 10,000 BC or AD 2009.

Epiphany

Just last night I had an epiphany while lying on bed trying to sleep. I don't know why, but I get all my epiphanies when I'm trying to sleep. It's like the Epiphany Toilet from scrubs..except it's a bed. Anyway.

Some of you may recall that awhile ago I questioned the meaning of life, why we live. I believe I have found a satisfactory answer(to me at least) for those questions. Now the big question: Why do we live?

My friend Austin said, "Because we don't want to die." While he has a point there(yes, austin...) I don't think that's it. A couple weeks ago I was watching an interview of David Belle and he was talking about how when he does training some people stare at him. He gave an analogy and said that if you press pause just when a monkey is in mid-air, and you ask him, "Why are you doing that? Why are you moving?", then the monkey would just say, "And you? Why are you NOT moving?" Of course I've watched this interview a couple of times, but it didn't pop into my head then.

Last night I was posting a reply on the forums, and it made me think again about the meaning of everything. I thought again about the interview, and I realized that it's all in the perspective. Instead of "Why?", ask yourself, "Why not?". When you want to do something, and you feel the hesitation, and you ask, "why do I want to do this", instead you should think, "Why not?" and if you can't give yourself a reasonable answer, then you know that you should just go ahead. Now some of you might be going, "DUH" but be honest with yourself: have you seen things this way before? There is a difference between UNDERSTANDING a perspective and actually ADOPTING that perspective. Once you stop asking yourself Why and start saying Why not instead, all of a sudden, you see possibilities, because if your whole life you're going, "why?", you will just be restricted by your fears. The answer to the question, "Why do we live?", then, from this perspective would become, "Why not?" Because you're gonna die one day, and the length of your life does not actually change the fact that you WILL die, why not live life to the max? Do you have any reason not to?

Armed with this perspective, go out into the world and look at the things around you. Why? Why not? This being said, I am going to attempt to master backflip again tomorrow, even though the last time I tried I panicked mid-flip, fell on my back and slammed my knee into my face. Shed your inhibitions, and you will learn that life becomes so much better.

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

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

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.
