Not Ready To Make Nice
Forgive, sounds good Forget, I’m not sure I could They say time heals everything But I’m still waiting I’m through with doubt There’s nothing left for me to figure out I’ve paid a price And I’ll keep paying I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down And I’m still mad as hell

Large ≠ Venti
Danny: Can I get a large black coffee?
Barista: A what?
Danny: Large black coffee.
Barista: Do you mean a Venti?
Danny: No, I mean a large.
Barista: Venti is large.
Danny: No, Venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, Tall is large and Grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.
Barista: A Venti is a large coffee.
Danny: Really? Says who? Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now?

I stumbled upon this cool Japanese site yesterday (they have an English site as well, but it’s not as fun). I especially love their music dance clock. Go explore now!

Taufiq: Cool.

Seriously.
In fact, the Earth itself was a mere precursor to Pepsi.
(On a side note, I am going to find a way to include this in my Maths assignment)

blog
n. Short for weblog. A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life. Consists of such riveting entries as “homework sucks” and “I slept until noon today.”

Just a note
Is it my fault that our matriculation program, the TEE, is so much easier than your GCE A-Level exams? No. Take everything in positively and ride it out. That’s how I’m surviving.

6% Completed
For us seniors, it’s 6% of our year done. Finished. I can imagine that it won’t be very long before those final exams start. This week was a relatively fast week. It seemed as though it was only yesterday when we started Monday’s work.
Regarding the homework aspect of my life, here’s what it looks like today:
Maths
Chapter one exercises
EPW

Watchstreeter:
Yay! Here’s a parody of “If I Were a Boy” I wrote with Sarah, called, “If I Were a Bro.” I had written a different parody of this song (If I Were a Girl) but by the time I was done there were so many of those on YouTube I wasn’t confident in the idea anymore. Luckily, CH-writer extraordinaire, Jason Michaels, emailed us and said we should do one called “If I Were a Bro.”
Now, I...

You suck?
Chong Aik: Anyway, my maid didn't take straws when she went to McDonald's to buy food.
Chong Aik: And the only straws we have at home are those bought in Melbourne in the shape of a dick, oh well.
Chong Aik: So technically speaking, I'm currently 'sucking' dick while chatting with you.
Chong Aik: The dick is kinda small though. Smaller than a flaccid dick.

First week of school: The review
With one week down already and just 31 more weeks to go until we officially finish high school, it just shows how fast this year is going to go by.
Apart from the fact that my advocacy sessions are held in the T&E block, I’m pretty happy with my schedule and the teachers I have this year.
The stress level is definitely building up, and so is my homework pile. I’ve officially quit...

Always late
Things always don’t go the way I intend them to go. Especially on days like today, which was the first day of my school year.
For one, I was late for school. All thanks to my always late neighbour. I would normally get a lift with them to school. I thought it’d be move convenient for me, but being late to school all the time isn’t really doing me any good.
Today was the last...
It's the first day of school today
I can’t wait to see everyone’s eager faces to learn.

A caring school
Here are some points on how we can be more caring at school:
Learn the names of as many students as you can. Smile at them and greet them by name when you see them.
Reach out to students who seem isolated or lonely and aren’t included in cliques or groups. Be a friend to them.
When you’re picking teams for class activities or sports, don’t just choose your friends.

Hello Australia
So, a lot (and I mean a lot) happened in the span of the last 10 hours. Here’s a brief overview of what happened:
I MISSED MY FLIGHT TO PERTH!!! It took off YESTERDAY, and only realised it the day after
I called Tiger Airways and they had my call on hold for an hour
When I finally got through, they told me to go to the airport and pray hard that two seats magically become available for my...
