Wells these few days can be summarized by one world F***-ed up haha no la i meant crazy, I've got presentations, essays chem pracs that contribute to I.B grades, physics prac, oral, homework.... omg ! i wonder why i'm still standing sometimes. All these and I still manage to tell everyone else that they are not busy at all and its only their imagination, nice one lar Beng!
for 10 years of slacking, of being under the academic radar, for looking at people with better grades and not giving a damn about it, oh wells its starting to take its toll now. Imagine screwing up mid-years, having people who aced all other tests tell you that its okay to fail for mid-years, that its "only" the mid years but looking at them burying their head in their textbooks and resuming mugging purely sucks. However much i love to study, I don;t want to be them!!! but what choice is there huh, if you can't beat them, join them, think of it like this, you have moved up so much in life...why stop here? Do you know that no one is affected by your actions except yourself? life goes on with everyone else, in fact they will excel you, and you'll be left there standing in no mans land, nothing to work for, no motivation to continue, truly...whats the point?
So my point is simple, its only one year more...just one year! then you have a completely different challenge, when at last its your true " second chance" where everyone starts equal again, but you jolly well know that somewhere down the road that you will have to buck up your fighting spirit again, its you against yourself first, then you against the world, don't learn to run before learning to walk, you know you're bound to trip and hurt yourself. Oh wells guess what i think i may have overdid it, sitting down now with splitting headaches and queasiness, i guess i do need a break now, just like an F1 car in a pit-stop, only you know you have to get out of the pit asap before you lose your lead!
P.s dun worry i'm fine for now, just needed to vent out before getting out of my pit.

email stories...what women really want
Finally the mystery is resolved!
Nice one ...
This is very interesting..........(to women) please take time to ponder........(to men) enjoy the story........
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, If after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question was: What do women really want?
Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, He accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: The princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, For only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous through out the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, The most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, And Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, Smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.
He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden,
But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered. Arthur's question thus: 'What a woman really wants?'
She said, 'Is to be in charge of her own life.'
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth. And that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was.
The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom.
And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom.
But, what a sight awaited him.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed.
The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, She would henceforth be her horrible and deformed self only half the time. And the beautiful maiden the other half.
'Which would you prefer? She asked him. 'Beautiful during the day .... or at night?'
Lancelot pondered the predicament.
During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends,
But at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!
Or,
Would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day?
But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments with?
(If you are a man reading this...) What would YOUR choice be?
(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?
What Lancelot chose, is given below:
BUT... make YOUR choice before you scroll down below... OKAY?

Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question, He said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time. Because, he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now... what is the moral to this story?

The moral is...
1) There is a witch in every woman no matter how beautiful she is!
2) If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.
So, always remember:
IT'S EITHER 'HER WAY' OR IT'S 'NO WAY'

Sorry...
Wells a big big apologetic sorry goes out to my dear dear treasured readers (esp. andy and jazr) for staying faithful, keeping your fingers warmed up by clicking to my site, deeply heartwarming indeed. Now for some explanations (that are actually justified!) (unlike certain breakouts and overlooking of travel documents), as you probably could have guessed my mid years results totally is un-cool! I failed math and chem (crying now) got an A for my physics and B for chinese literature and that's about it, the rest are passing grades by marginal differences. The deputy principal had to meet us math failures too (imagine the long queue forming outside her office, machiam like McDonalds giving free hello kitty) well eventually i got her to let me continue taking higher level math with a letter that i poured my heart and soul out on. at this point i must really say thank god! and heng ar!

Email stories...the rude customer
The Rude Customer
An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, 'I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS'.
The attendant replied, 'I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out.' The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, 'DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?'
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address micro-phone: 'May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please,' she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. 'We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14.'
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, 'Fu** You!'
Without flinching, she smiled and said, 'I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too.'

RIng!!!...Ring!!!
For all you lazy bums out there, trust me I know there are many out there (i swear if the number of lazy people can be described by much this would be the case). Have no fear that you might end up snoozing your alarm clock too often, or setting up a landmine field of alarm clocks which alarm signals get masked off by your snoring, the saviour has arrived!
Introducing the tyrant alarm clock
tyrant
This alarm clock steals your mobile phone and randomly shuffles through your contact list and calls someone every three minutes after the desired wake up time.
Well the description covers it all...so if you do not want to be late for work or school everyday and end up having to take a cab instead of public transport then do yourself a favour and land your hands on one of these, I strongly believe that you'll wake up to save embarrassment if the random phone call were to be directed at your boss or teacher....

Latest pricing strategies... or is it?
One fine day while I aimlessly wander thru the aisles of giant hypermarket at IMM I had this sudden urge to go see what kinds of malaysian made tech products would be sold it (since giant being malaysia boleh! and all). A quick browse and my eyes landed upon m2 memory sticks, with my mind linking my current phone memory capacity of 64mb ( I know!!!) I thought if the price was right I would go upgrade my mem stick, however three reasons compelled me to be satisfied with 7 songs in my phone and 10 pictures.1) Money is the root of all evil, sadly I do not own the roots.
2) iPhone impending...bye bye sony ericsson
3) Notice the picture above, prices for a 2gb stick "as advertised" price is $51.90 so i said to myself my god has prices dropped rapidly, then curiosity got the better of me as my glare drifted off to the neighboring product the 4gb version of the same thing, guess what non advertised price and it is $49.90!!! haha either my eyes are spoilt, camera lens spoil or the glass panel between me and the product has fact distortion properties.
So my point is...can anybody explain this new pricing strategy of lower prices for higher capacity? Is 4gb two times heavier, two times slower, two times more energy consuming that causes the company to compensate by a $2 mark down of the price?

best joke so far haha!
A man was driving down the road and ran out of gas. Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window.
The bee said, 'What seems to be the problem?'
'I'm out of gas,' the man replied.
The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his gas tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out.
'Try it now,' said one bee.
The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. 'Wow!' the man exclaimed, 'what did you put in my gas tank'?
The bee answered,
Wait for it….wait for it…………..
You're just gonna love this…..
