A few things to thank God for.
1) My ISAT test. I needed to do well for this to apply for UQ Dentistry. My career depended on it and thank God for the results. I'm not guaranteed a place but I'm leaving it in God's hands just as I left the results of the test to him.
2) NDP. At first I thought that my Saturdays were being burnt. Thank God that two weeks later, Thursday is a half day, Friday and Saturday are off and the whole week after NDP is off for me.
3) Wallaby. I complained about the potential 6 weeks away from home without committing it to God but He delivered me despite my lack of faith and prayer. Now it may be much, much shorter than 6 weeks.
Really. Praise God

There's a reason why I'm reverting back to this old blog of mine. A few in fact.
LJ sucked big time. Ads, no tagboard and all that. Well I also thought of starting a new blog on blogger but I realised that I completely forgot HTML and how to insert a tagboard or change the template for that matter. Hence old blog here I come.
Prior to this I contemplated removing all the old posts I had on this blog, reason being I don't blog like that anymore. Sure, the unsurpassed wit remains ("yeah right" you critics say) but things are different. Simply put, I cannot believe I used to write like a 17 year old; though I really was 17 years old (my last post was 6 days before my 18th birthday so I was technically 17 years old)
I won't say 2 years, or some say 1 year and 7 days, have changed me much but please, I wrote rubbish. True, I still write rubbish now but right now I start out with the intent to write rubbish instead of writing rubbish while trying to write normal stuff.
And right now, writing rubbish will not be very smart considering I have a test coming up in about 2 hours. So goodbye for now. I'll be back to write more rubbish.

i wonder why they set such hard questions for blocks... is it cause they want to demoralise everyone? if it is we might decided to fly to Batam or something 1 day before A levels and catch H1N1.

econs is a subject of realisation. the fact that i realised this 50 minutes into my econs paper proves this point. and i realised my commitment to blogging, cause i thought up this post in the middle of econs, literally placing down my pen to think about what to right. thank me.
anyway, i realised the proper way to use a disclaimer, or what i'd like to call "Covering your @$$". in my econs paper, i realised in the middle of the block test that there was a statement below. It stated "Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible. Every reasonable effort has been made to the publisher to trace copyright holders, but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included, the publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity".
What it really means (bolded and italicised) is:
"Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible (there were too damn many copyright laws man). Every reasonable effort has been made to the publisher to trace copyright holders (we couldn't find the copyright holders and probably weren't able to in the first place. maybe even can't be bothered to), but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included (this refers to everything), the publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity (damn i wish i won't get caught. then again it's just a block test....)"
i mean, can you actually imagine any school calling the BBC and asking "uh. hey BBC, i'm a teacher from Singapore. I need the publisher for (Extract A) so i can ask him, uh, her, uh it if i can copy, i mean use his, uh her, uh its article for the exam".
i can't.
and i also realised a few gems in the middle of my case study question.
1) the singapore government makes damn good policies. in fact it's so good that even i have to admit it's good
2) you also realise that many policies you propose which you think is right... it's wrong
3) you get skeptical about your eureka-lightbulb moments, cause after repeatedly getting it wrong, you realise that those "lightbulb" moments, might just be God telling you not to write what you think is so totally correct
4) you then realise that when you follow what you think is God telling you not to write what you think is so totally correct, it turns out to be a damn lightbulb moment
5) you realise that you are not made out to be a politician after all. cause you might propose supply side policies to solve cyclical unemployment and get fired/overthrown/deposed/assasinated within a week.
so if you didn't think econs was fun... well... it's still not fun, but sucks to be those who take it!
including me
