mood: very stressed

erm... well, mebbe i shouldn't be stressed... but today's physics and geog, and i'm sort of planning to fail this geog paper coz there's really nothing in my head except for mebbe a couple of plates and some river erosion crap... and can you believe it? i still haven't finished agriculture yet!!! oh well...

hope i can pass physics, aim for a b3 if possible, coz i dun realli know hidayah's standards... seems she'll test quite a bit on definitions, i think... hmm... that's my weak point, i guess, i can never memorise stuff... oh well...

wish me gd luck for today's geog... hopefully i can scrape through with a few lucky marks from MCQ... =)

~~Emaths~~
okie... emaths exam over liaoz... big load off my mind... hope i can get a1, but judging from what i heard after the exam, chances dont seem too high... oh well...

anyway, tml's physics and geog... and i haven't started on physics AT ALL, plus geog i still haven't finished with agriculture... so, ermz... i'm pretty much dead tml even if i pia tonite... and there's chem the day after, which i have forgotten everything that i've learnt during the past year. Therefore, i've got totally no idea how i'm ever going to get less than 13pts for my L1R5, or enough a1s to get a new hp... mebbe i should juz resign myself to doing all the household chores during the hols in order to get sympathy funds from my mum... hmm...

oh well... here's some freeware that the Straits Times recommended...

Anti-virus
AVG Anti-virus -I've tried this one and I'm still using it. Highly recommended!!

With virulent viruses and worms wreaking havoc via the Internet, it is crucial to have an anti-virus software protecting your PC 24/7. AVG Anti- Virus provides that protection, including access to the latest updates to protect against new viruses. It even handles e-mail scanning so that viruses do not get to sneak up on you.

Smooth Surfing
Pop-Up Stopper

You're surfing for information on the Web when you suddenly get blindsided by a rush of pop-up ads for online casinos, get-rich quick schemes and even porn.

Instead of playing chase the 'x' to close the pop-ups, try the Pop-Up Stopper. It puts a brick wall in front of these pop-up ads before they have a chance to infiltrate your screen.

mood: stressed

Malaysian media coverage: extracts
"Bernama: Tribunal's decision a great success for Malaysia, says Syed Hamid Putrajaya, Oct 9 - Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar today described the decision of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, directing Singapore not to conduct land reclamation that may cause irreparable damage to Malaysia, as a great success for Malaysia.

He said that with the decision, Malaysia had achieved what it wanted in bringing the case to the tribunal in Hamburg, Germany, namely, to be informed and consulted on the land reclamation project carried out by Singapore. 'It is a great success and now Singapore cannot brush us aside and say that Malaysia has no case,' he told reporters."

aiyo... how much in denial can they get??? since when were they a 'great success'??

i really wan the Nokia 7600!! it's so nice!!! but can i ever get it...?

mood: elated

Singapore won this round of arbitration abt the Pedra Branca issue!! yEaH mAnz!!! Singapore muz jia you for the next (and more important) round wor!! Tommy Koh jia you!

Round 1 to Singapore
"MALAYSIA has failed in its bid to persuade an international court to order Singapore to suspend its reclamation works in Pulau Tekong and Tuas immediately."

and note this:

One down. And now for Round 2
"Well, unfortunately, this is not the end of the story. If we go back to my analogy of the two boxing rings, the fight in the first ring is over, and I suppose you could say by unanimous verdict, 23 to zero, Singapore has won."

hahaz... we won 23-0!!! ALL the judges were in favour of us!! okie... now hafta concentrate on stalin, Sun Yat Sen, and Hitler again...

mood: relieved/stressed/sad

~~SS Paper~~

btw, i surfed the net abit and saw that the Nokia 7600 might cost about $700++!! argh... dun tink i'll be able to make it sia... the only way i can get enough funds is to get less than 13pts for my L1R5, which is like... almost impossible... :'(

Respect people's work
"Did you know that it is a copyright violation to extract a song from Stefanie Sun's latest CD and insert it into your PowerPoint presentation for a school pro-ject? Yes, there are necessary licensing fees that need to be paid."

'But many kids still do not know very much about IP,' said Ms Melissa Chan, an English teacher from Gongshang. 'So we thought it would be a good idea to invite Ipos to educate them about it.'

mood: disappointed

got 26/30 for emaths... to tell ya the truth, i was hoping for full marks... i onli didn't write those useless things like 'angle ABC=angle BCD' and things like tt... ergh... oh well... nvm, it's still an a1... lalalaz... look at the quiz i juz took (goto 'quizzes'), sth on the romance movie tt's represents my life, i think... it's sooo accurate! hahaz... kkz... gtg and study liaoz...

mood: stressed

lalalaz... haiz... still got alot haven't study yet lehz... oh well...

hmm... i hate the digital music issues going on nowadays... i mean, they keep saying not to dl mp3's cos it's piracy... but hey, instead of juz saying it and trying to catch ppl who do it, cant they juz hurry up and make some alternatives to online piracy??

apple has made a gd move by having tt digital music hub or sth... but tt's only for those who use mac!! we still dont have some gd reputable alternatives here in s'pore!! i mean, the reason ppl dl illegal music is because they think tt buying the whole CD is a waste of money cos they may juz like abt 2-3 songs out of all 20 songs!

mebbe CD-RAMA, instead of juz selling the usual CDs and having decreasing business everyday, shld launch some kind of online thing... like have a large selection of songs... probably abt 50cts to a dollar each (do try and make it less than a dollar, even 90 cts is gd, it juz makes it all worthwhile) and offer a free service to burn a onto a CD.

For example, i choose 20 songs, each at 90cts. tt's $0.90 X 20 = $18. then perhaps they can make it a choice, as in, if the consumer wants less than 20 songs, they have to pay an additional dollar for the service as well as the cost of the cd. well, sth like tt, i guess, someone! somebody! quick get down to work and make life easier for everyone!!!

and when the business has become more successful, perhaps the price can go down to 50cts each... which is... $10 per cd!! tt's soo cool! then it'll be a booming business already!! yeah man!!

eh... i FAILED my amaths test!! dammit, it's the 2nd test i've failed this wk!!! ergh... i got 20.5/42... and my god, i could've gotten 32.5!!! tt's like... more than 10 marks more lohz!!! for the first qn... if i'd juz written 'no solution' i could've gotten +2 marks. the last 2 qn: the answers were all correct!!! if i'd written a few extra steps, i could've gotten another TEN marks!!! ergh... i hate this test!!!!!

oh yeah... and todae during hist lesson, smith showed us a video on hitler... and he's soooo mr tong!!! after he speaks, he gives his hair a 'flick' to make it tidy again... juz like tong!! the whole class laughed after seeing tt!!! hahaz... and he also says ' For the good for the German people, there should be war every 15-20 years. ' tt's extremely sadistic... ahh... juz like tong!

oh well, got amaths tuition later...

mood: soso
