I have just seen the most interesting “book” in a bookshop that goes by the title as you see above.

A normal looking book cover with some accolades from reputable sources on the back. It almost costs $9.

Open up the book and you see…

…

For those who don’t get it, it means that men know nothing about women. What an interesting way to package a notebook. And I’d say it cheats people of their money as well.

In other news, I think I’ve just watched one of the worst movies in my life. What the hell. There is practically no plot.

And lastly to end off, something interesting I found online (click on the image for more):

Imagine six days out there in the jungle with camouflage cream on you face 24 hours a day, eating combat rations and being ill throughout. I went in coughing and since the jungle wasn’t the best place for recovery, I came out with more cough and a blocked nose of mucus/phlegm. For those who have not been through the camp, I would advise you to take care of yourself and try NOT to fall sick during the period of time. You will cough in the middle of the night and this makes it hard to even sleep. Spice it up with some night “events”, I ended up being so tired that I could fall asleep in the middle of cleaning up my M16.

But I survived!

On a side note, I purchased what seems to be my first novel in a long time: Kite Runner. It’s worth a read if anyone needs any reading material.

A previous incomplete work of the Middle-Earth saga by JRR Tolkein, The Children of Húrin, has been completed by his son ^^

As some of you may, or may not, know that I am a LoTR fanatic, I’m definitely going to get this book.

A rather unexpected publication.

Went swimming today and I was expecting the pool to be pretty much empty on a cloudy Friday afternoon, that is today if you ken. Not until did I reach the entrance of the swimming complex did I see a bunch of primary school kids, boys to be exact, from St Michael’s hanging out, apparently after a supposed-excursion-to-the-pool. I went in to see even MORE kids. Gosh. There goes the quiet pool.

The exams are coming. Are you prepared? Are you ready?

Long days and pleasant nights!

Certainly… either Singnet/Singapore’s ISP had some cock up or MSN servers are having some problems. The problem is, none of us could sign in to Messenger. You could do it with Web Messenger but not with the client itself.

What’s wrong?

EDIT:

Accoding to mess.be, do the following to fix the problem:

just put the following lines in your hosts file:

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

The first “s” goes to SPAM.

SPAMMERS are getting more and more relentless, and long winded as well. What you see in the above screenshot is only 25% of the length of a single SPAM comment.

The second “s” is for shopping; well, I didn’t shop much anyway because I already what I wanted in mind. Xiang Long and I went around Orchard and finally Bugis looking for his bag,

Call me a fanboy or whatever you like – I’ve just bought the first six books of the Dark Towers series and placed $100 into Stephen King’s pocket. (Book VII and The Stand coming soon!)

Xl and Zenden went mugging on the topic of “1 ball hit[tting] the other ball, would it stay put, roll back, or move together”.

We did that too! (Cl, Gerald and Kelvin Ho) Albeit this time, it wasn’t balls hitting each other, it was bodies swimming against water resistance – the Swimming Pool!

After that, we went to the post office to send a parcel of mass ~800g off to the US (no prize for guessing who sent it and who was the recepient) and it costed a frgging 30+ dollars just to send that small parcel! Goodness gracious!

Finished reading the 699 pages long Wizard and Glass; on with Wolves of the Calla!

A pretty long post awaits.

Woke up to the sound of my mobile’s alarm at 8 am. That omnipresent “beep beep beep”.

On the way to school, the bus (31) I was on almost had a head-on collision with a turning lorry at a junction. The bus was travelling very fast, probably above the speed limit for buses and probably trying to beat the red light. At the junction, as a lorry was attempting to turn (or going forward; I can’t tell, for that matter), the bus almost collided with it.

The tale doesn’t end here. The bus driver, probably recovering from the shock of that near-accident, began driving at turtle speed and MISSED the bus stop which a few VJ people and I were supposed to get off. In case you were wondering, the “BUS STOPPING” sign was glowing red. And thus began my slogging to the school with my mind somewhat still in dream land.

One word to describe the Chemistry Lecture Assessment – screwed. Absolutely, not relatively, screwed. (I will elaborate this more later.)

Anyway, I’ve decided to buy the Dark Tower Series =) Gosh, I have become a hopeless fanboy. Halfway through the series. 4 more books to go!
