Today on 851, packed like moshing sardines during the peak hour of 1800-1900, there was 1 x emergency braking procedure from the driver that threw everybody to the front of the bus..
This was cos a motorcycle ran into a car and the bus nearly ran over both those people, but didnt. quite cool.

Driving lesson 4, hit a max speed of 45km/h and the feeling is omgwtfthatssofast. So now when my dad drives at 80 and im in the passenger seat, theres the illusion that this speeding car is my responsibility to control, that makes for 1 x apprehensive feeling.
Noobor?

On friday, had Alpha Coy commanders dinner which went well! And after which 3 of us, ang yun, joel n myself went to lakeside mrt to travel home, en route, i reincarnated the topic about how joel doesn't believe in dinosaurs.
[he believes the "dinosaur" bones that paleontologists find are actually the bones of really large animals. he believes that humans + all modern day animals all started from the same point in time, so the bones of dinosaurs that are found actually just belong to some oversized hamsters/flamingos/lizards..]
Anyway, after missing our respective trains to carry on the discussion further, which ranged from the existence of parallel galaxies within the universe, the theory of monkeys evolving into humans, the possibilities of all life starting at the same time, the origin of life, and showing absolute disregard for the credibility of geology, paleontology and astronomers, we still didnt manage to come to an agreement after talking from 2130 till 2330..
Which was when me n ang yun realised that we weren't gonna be able to catch a train all the way home thus being stranded..

Summarily, Joel doesn't believe in dinosaurs/mayans practising astronomy, AND, i had to call my dad for a ride home for me n ang yun. ahahaha

What Liverpool needs is a good centre mid, a good centre forward, and a coupla good owners. Other than that the rest is good.

Soya Bean Milk -> Oestrogen

The below post contains loads of assumptions that i've accepted as truths so it may be a little tough to follow/understand the train of thought

Function of Oestrogen:
"While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age. They promote the development of female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oestrogen

Dietary Sources of Oestrogen:
"Soybeans and processed soy foods are among the richest foods in total phytoestrogens (wet basis per 100g), which are present primarily in the form of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean#Nutrition

So, if u were a girl and wanted to increase ur bust size for whatever reason, and discovered a non-complicated, cheap, and readily available dietary source, would u not spam it like its hot?

Same like how if guys could discover a dietary source that could enhance whichever bodily part that drives the opposite sex crazy, they'lld spam it like dota before O lvls (which i mean alot if the point is lost in the analogy)

no sexism intended but i think if i were a girl i would drink so much soy milk... aha

Relief Teaching is not easy

Below is a feedback letter sent to http://www.moe.gov.sg/feedback/feedback-confirmation.php following 1 x hr of effort and 0 x work done. FRUSTRATION.org

"Hi,

i would just like to bring to your attention the relative user-unfriendliness of your online application form system.

Firstly the page on "personal data" seems to frequently take issue with the "title" column, which your guide states only accepts (Mr, Miss, Mdm...) and so on, which renders the user unable to carry on for no discernible reason.

Secondly, the structure of the blanks in the "Educational" area doesn't outline the basic requirements, or even give an example to follow through. Surely it wouldn't be that tough to embellish a sample application form for each of the educational levels instead of trying to dictate what has to be done through text?
As for the "Subject and Grades" part, may i suggest u make the choices more level specific, since A, O, N level graduates all have a niche area to key in their information. it would only require tweaking when the names of the examinations change.
For example, There are 2 identical "Project Works" to select from.
There is a Mathematics, Mathematics A, Mathematics B, Mathematics C....

And the MOST irksome thing of it all, is after my third attempt, bypassing all aforementioned obstacles and making the selections as best as i could, THE SESSION TIMES OUT. and i had to start again from the beginning, which promptly locked me out at the personal data area with an issue with my "Mr" title once again.

Which is why i gave up the past hour of effort for tonight at least and am writing this letter to whom it may concern.

Thank you for your time.

HI nice to see u here, i know i'm supposed to know u from somewhere

Standby the social response
"HI, you look very familiar... you're.. benjam.. AH jonathan. Nice to see u again" *insert big smile to cover up awkward silence*

Yesterday was SMU matriculation, naturally, we met a bunch of guys we knew, met a bunch of guys we recognized, and met bunch of guys that we swore we should've known but just dunno where from.

At the floor of the admin building poksam n i ran into novabelle. Poksam didn't know her and she didn't know i was going to smu so pleasant surprises all around.

So after the basic pleasantries like
"Hi, don't tell me ur coming here" -pause-
"yea its nice to see u too"
then cos poksam was standing by the side,
"this is my friend samuel"
then to introduce her to poksam,
"and this is...." -hand gesture + awkward silence-
"Novabelle, i'm novabelle".

Note to self: in future do not attempt to introduce 2 friends when u dont remember one of their names.

Saying which, im a terrible terrible person for not remembering her name i know. haha

In all the shows n stories where u get a single parent helping out his ex-wife, kids, and his ex-wife's new husband to escape some sorta calamity/mishap/sticky situation, u can know for sure that one of the guys are gonna die.

Like in 2012 (spoiler alert). Imagine Gordon DIDN'T conveniently fall into the gate gears and get crushed to oblivion, imagine what the end scene would have been like, they save the day, danger is averted, the chaos dies down and its time for the victorious happy scene.
Then.. "uh... sorry dude im still ur ex-wife's new husband"
sian... hahaha

"Thats why they're men"

This is the one fail-safe reason people fall back on to explain away inexplicable behaviour from people you would tend to expect more from.

"Why he so fucking chao keng?"
"maybe he really exerted himself last time and really isn't feeling well this time?"
"then why doesnt he have even that bit of personal pride to do something for himself to the best of his ability, whether its good enough or not?"
"i guess hes jaded by the futility of the whole system?"
"then why doesnt he at least behave to the minimum expectation of a decent human being?"
"aiya, dont take it to heart, THATS WHY THEY'RE MEN"

U'll be surprised, everytime theres a discussion about any particular bunch of incorrigible people, 1 x irate commander seeking the advice and opinion of the others, it eventually boils down to that unhelpful condemnation.

I think thats fucking unfair to classify them this way, cos after ns, they go out into the world same as everyone else, being equals, even superiors in unis, then companies..

So its not "because they're men" its just that u have the unpleasantness of meeting and being in charge of these certain "leadership potential, well educated fuckers".

Its the tenacity of the people that refuse to condemn these fuckers that feel the brunt of their irresponsibility and somehow struggle to hang on to their beliefs while all around them jaded people are giving up that suffer the most, me not being one of them, i feel thats too bad for them.

I don't wanna lock this blog cos i say what i feel justified to say, all i say is of personal opinion and if u know me for the truly kb person i am, u will know thats why this blog has over 350 posts. And if your first/second/subsequent reaction to reading any post is to rush off to the person u think inspired the post to tell him/her to
"CHECK THIS OUT SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT YOU, WHAT A FUCKER DISTORTING THE TRUTH AND WRITING HIS BIASED AND NARROW PERCEPTIONS".
I would thank you to not bother to pretend to be on friendly terms with me cos, with so many goddamned acquaintances via facebook n msn, i can hang with the people i know to be true characters and be content forever.

I said this a few posts back, but i feel the need to reiterate,
to U, be it guy or girl who may think i'm talking about you.
That is as true as u read it.
I'm talking ABOUT you, not talking TO you. There is absolutely no need for you to respond via tag/sms/fb profile, but if u wish to tell me how much of a douchebag i am, by all means, u've got my hp number, fb page, email even. contact me, we can discuss.

Strongly worded posts aside,
started 1st driving lesson today... yeaaaaa.
