Me, Myself and I

www.bliondi.livejournal.com will be back soon... More juicy news to come...

Watch out!

Heheh Okay okay i was sorta lying. Still have my D&T Paper and my Science MCQ on the 20th.

O levels was quite a breeze for me, or so.

Monday:
-Maths Paper 1: Quite easy. I didn't really bother studying much for this.
-SS: Moderately easy. Did intend to flunk this subject, but so happened that the only topic i studied, merger and seperation came out.


Tuesday:
- Chemistry: Moderate. I'm a sucker at chemistry, and of course last minute study strategy was used again. (The day before the paper too)


Wednesday:
- English Paper 1: I ran out of creative juice and just wrote a simple story of an accident where i was late. Not impressive =/
- English Paper 2: Quite easy! It felt easier than any papers i did given by Mrs Raj.
- Physics: EASY!!! I was sorta worried for this subject that it would be difficult, and would affect my terrible chemistry. Never did i expect it to be so easy man. Only didn't know what was double insulation =p


Thursday:
- Geography. Well, after i had positive thoughts of getting a B4 for my humanities with the relatively easy SS paper, i had to take it back due to this shitty paper. Freakin' tough for me. Fail lahhh


Friday:
- Maths Paper 2: Managable. Feel like a sucker for an A1 now because i need it badly to compensate my screwed up humans/chinese. There was one question where i knew the formulas but didn't know how to apply it. This shows mugging is useless.



And the best thing is, during O levels period I only studied for the paper the day before the actual paper. This IS O LEVELS we are talking about here, and i took it so lightly. To make things worse, Shafiq and I were playing games during this period after school. I FINISHED NEED FOR SPEED: CARBON DURING O LEVELS. Shafiq, you're a bad influence to me man, *but aye it was fun right hahahahahahahahahahahh*

Now O level's more or less finished, and i finally have my free time. But to me, the excitement of exams are now over. It's very anti-climax ya know, i'm most of the time stoning at home. Feel like going out but so cashstrapped (you tell me, which teenager around us is not cashstrapped!?) So in the end, i stay at home watching animes and movies. Talking about movies, I MUST RECOMMEND EVERY ONE OF YOU OUT THERE WHO LIKES CRUDE HUMOUR TO WATCH BORAT! Too bad it's not filmed in Singapore due to lots of reasons i guess, but trust me, it's a freaking funny movie. 2006's funniest movie ever! XD

Btw, my new panel has arrived! Behold, the Dell 2007WFP (not the crappy E207WFP 2 posts below). 1680x1050 pixels, more than your 17/19" LCDs vertically and horizontally. Watching the anime Kanon II (remake) was exxxxxxcellent man. It ran at FULL SCREEN and it looks great. Don't believe? See this:




Alrights i don't have much to add to my blog. It's 4.21am now and i can't really think straight. heh

Journal Ended @ 4.22am

So they say, "Money is the best test of your friendship"

Let's see: Your buddy, who you have known for half of your life (8 years), who have done all sorts of crazy things; sleepovers; LAN gaming; eating lunch together oftenly, now ignore you after you start asking back for the $170 bucks (That's almost half of my 1 month allowance!!) that your buddy has owed you for 11 months. He/She suddenly doesn't appear on MSN, ignoring your calls and messages. 

To make things worse, i have seen this "buddy" of mine at Yoshinoya 2 nights back (26th nov) when i was having dinner. I call him on his mobile phone JUST TO SAY HI AND SAY "Hey look over at your 2 oclock" Unexpectedly, he picks out his phone from his pocket, briefly stare at the phone and blank out for a moment, before rejecting my call and dump his precious PDA phone on the cold hard table. Extremely disappointed, i SMSed him just to say hi and again, he briefly took his phone and saw my name (most PDA phones display the sender's name much bigger than the text, used to have one) and put it back on the table, allowing his friend to read the message.

So much for our 8 years of friendship, gone down over money. It wasn't really about the money that pissed me off, it was YOUR FUCKING ATTITUDE you have shown. Well i'm happy that i ate at Yoshinoya to uncover the reality behind your response. I let you come over to my place for 8 years, eat countless dinners, played countless games, leeched from me countless media, slept over at my place quite a few times and even went out to buy hardware: Honestly, I'm truely disappointed in you. You are probably the longest contact i have ever since i moved to the north, the one i trusted the most, and it must turn out like this.



Anyway, some events on a lighter note. Celebrated Shamino's & Josh's birthday with the guys from VR over at Paulaner. Food was quite good for mine, but the price tag SURE WAS HEFTY. $32.50 excluding 10% service, 5% GST and 1% cess for an Austrailian Beef Tenderloin w/ quite a big piece of scallop (ok this was really good). Nevertheless, it was a great dinner and hope they are fine after *doing* them in the nuts with a lamp post in the public. Happy 29th & 19th birthday to you guys man!

Having quite a bit of fun lately since i met up with Joanne to catch the movie 'Deathnote" and everyday, it was an excuse to relax... relax... and relax... 
-Saturday: "Lazy day."
-Sunday: "Just 1 more lazy day. Tomorrow must study"
-Monday: "Woke up late... Last day of laziness!"
-Tuesday: "Public holiday. Relax..."
-Wednesday: "Woke up late... Okay last day of laziness"

5 days' worth of mugging period gone to laziness. 8 more days to O levels and still relaxing... Fortunately, i tried to pick up studying again on thursday but the day was sort of wasted away because everyone wanted to leave early. So i decided that Friday should be a no nonsense, all-mugging day. However, i woke up at 9 and went down to buy an external flash for my Cam and went back to CWP to meet Zara. By the time we reached school it was like 11.30pm and i finally started to pick out my worksheets to attempt the questions. However, the library was closed from 1-1.30 and had to leave the place. So we went over, spent almost 1 hour and went back to study for another 1 1/2 hr before the librarian told us that the school would be closing early due to some deepavali stuffs. So in the end, went CWP with Zara, Joan & Yong Jun to shop for dresses. Ugh. -_-"

It's 2.25am on a saturday morning now and yeah i had to realise some thoughts in order to go into extreme mugging for the next few days to come. It's lengthy, yes but it sure felt good saying it out. AND TO YOU-KNOW-WHOEVER-YOU-ARE, it's time to start thinking whether your friendship or the $170 bucks is more important. Think about it.

ONEGAI TWINS!!!~



Kawaiiiiiiiiiii~

I watched this anime on friday 5.40pm, and ended up watching it till 11.30pm. I watched all 13 Episodes at one go. It is about this guy called Maiku who has lost his parents when he was young and is now living alone. One day, 2 girls by the name of Miina and Karen with completely opposite personalities show up at this doorstep, both claiming to be Maiku's twin sister. This is made worse when all 3 of them happens to have the same copies of the same photograph that of a young boy and young girl together. Therefore, only one of them can the real twin sister. As the story unfolds, the characters experiences romance and a twisted ending. Who will turn out to be Maiku's twin sister? Go watch it to find out!! The opening theme and the closing theme are great too, just like those from Onegai Teacher.

Anyway, i'm sort of cranky lately due to the sudden change of habits to study now, as the "O"s are like 23 days from now and in order to get my target of L1R4 of 10~12 i gotta start studying and stop relying on that luck i used to have for the past 6 1/2 years. I have no clue what i want to study now, and let my results decide what i can take up. Someone TELL ME THIS IS DANGEROUS. I'm currently at 18 for my L1R4 (which are terrible results anyway) and i really feel the danger. The lazy giant in me is still currently dormant, but with all this animes and dramas around, there is a great possibility that it might just wake up and take over me right before the "O"s. Not good.

Also, Sadv has tried to poison with the new Dell 20" E207WFP Widescreen panel, and... yeah i got poisoned in the end. Think of this: 20" Widescreen with 1680x1050 pixels to work with, boasting a 5ms response time and the unbelivable $400 pricetag!!! (It used to be $699 for the bigger brother, the 2007WFP) Finally Widescreens are within my range now and i am DEFINATELY going to grab 1 once it's released into the Singapore market.



Yep, you'll be asking: "Why Dell!?!?" I used to have this mindset that all dell stuffs are terrible, until i've seen the range of panels they sell. Now i can watch theater movies in 16:10 format (or 16:9?) and i won't have that stupid border when i watch movies with my current dual 17". It's gonna be useful too, as it will show my pictures shot by my camera in widescreen format! Oh boy, i just can't wait for it to arrive. So it's gonna be [ 17" | 20" Wide | 17" ]. 


Well i wonder. Are such situations in animes and mangas ever possible in reality? The innocent, sweet and gentle love that you see in romance animes, bounded by unsure response and hesitation? Definately not in this place called Singapore. However, in places where it feels like time has stopped and the peaceful live is unobstructed by the hectic lifestyle, could there be such a possibility in our world?

Life have been quite boring for the past 5 days and i'm gonna put an end to this in 37 days when my last paper ends. Sad though, i am unable to attend the VR-Zone Overclocking Competition held annually (this is the 2nd for this year though) as it happens to be on the same day as my last paper. However, my classmates would like to mark the end of school and start the holidays with a chalet held on 21st, 22nd and 23rd November. How nice of them though, for once, as i'm being invited (Or is it because that i was planning on the previous one but i never did realise it?) 20 People, 1 Room, 2 Beds: The possibilities are endless. But for sure i'm gonna bring down a PC just for entertainment purposes (music, movies, animes and other random stuffs). Just wish for a bigger place though, can't imagine at least 10 people sleeping together. >.<


Alright guys, this is one of my major updates so far ever since this livejournal has been eradicated. (Right use of word?) Of course, i will post up some good livejournal content when i do get any ideas or thinkings. But for now, good night!

*0150 hours

How did the start of your week go? I started mine by sleeping late and getting up at 6.51am, which is a dangerously late time for me to wake up. 

Anyway here i am, going through my photo albums shot from the past 7 months. I was expected to pass pictures for my class that i have taken to one of the HOD teachers. If not for my form teacher, i wouldn't have actually bothered. Why? Because sometimes i feel that i was treated like i wasn't even there in class. And i bet that less than 5 of my classmates even read my livejournal. 

For those who were there when i needed your help, a great thanks out to you. =)

I rarely had the chance to thank someone for doing something for me, especially when a person helps you out regularly and you sort of take it for granted. One day when that person actually steps out of your life, you will start to think back and feel that you at the very least owe him/her a big "Thank You!"

I don't have much to say today, but i just updated for the sake of it. Shafiq did tell me that my previous few post happened to be from Monday, Wednesday & Friday. The past few days has been very average days for me so i guess i have nothing to think about or debate over. And yeah, thanks to him for teaching me about nView Gridlock function, my MSN messenger finally maximises it's window in a limited area so that i can run my other Sysmetrix-Themed stuffs.

Anyway i gotta start picking out pictures for my class. 4 Years in this Forsaken school is long enough. The worst? NO PROM NIGHT =(

こんばんは [Good Evening In Japanese]

Today, i felt that i have leaped a huge advancement in life.

When you think back about your childhood, would it be as sweet as your favourite candy from the candy store, or as bitter as concentrated bittergourt juice? Certainly, there are some among us who have enjoyed a very pleasant and unforgettable childhood. But for others, it seemed like a terrible phase of life to be in.

As for me, i actually found a friend at this very morning while i was randomly chatting with my "photography mentor", and we started off a conversation on MSN with me asking him about his lovedate, and somehow we actually talked about many other different things and off topic-ed to our childhood. As we continued, i slowly found out that we shared the same kind of childhood despite our age difference of 7 years. 

As we shared our experiences, I could personally feel that there was this bond between us, or rather like "bosom friends". We both shared the same treatment from our classmates. It was the kind of inevitable moment which you could not avoid. Your closest friends/people you knew has fallen into mishaps and could no longer be contacted. You were treated differently unlike the rest. And it always seemed to be revolving around you. You would then stop and think "Why does it always happen to me?".

Of course, once in a while you sought help and there was always that someone who helped you up emotionally. It was the person you least expected to receive help from. Thinking of my personal past while sharing with my friend actually made me weep as i poured out what might seem to be so unlike me.

Just something to ponder over. *Ended at 1.04pm* >.<

0200 Hours

It's amazing how time flies past so quickly. After school i met Asyraf at the Woodlands Library for some maths. That was about 1.30pm when school ended. So i studied for about 4 1/4 hours there as i left at 6.20+pm. It felt extremely short, as though i felt that i was going home at 4pm. So i went home and started listening to some of my normal playlists on my PC, but then this was when i wasted lots of time. I felt that something was lacking in my music, the "brightness" or "warmth" of my music was missing. So i started firing up the Prodigy 7.1 controls and started to play with the equaliser. Started at about 6.50pm at that time.

8.00pm: Fiddling around with the controls as i went through different combinations and music tracks to test.

8.30pm: Still fondling with the controls. As i slowly tweaked the EQ the time just slowly trickled past without me knowing it.

9.00pm: Fiddle fiddle fiddle. I just couldn't get enough of my music after it was well tuned on the equaliser. It felt more "lively". However, as i looked at the LCD panel on my keyboard, i noticed that the time was 9.04PM. OMFG. It felt like 7.30pm like any other days, and i was starving by that time. I was sort of surprised that time actually went pass so quickly. I guess it's time for me to start learning how to plan my time and utilise it well. So anyway i went down to get my dinner and rushed home to enjoy more music =))

And as i looked through my song folders, i tried playing some of my older songs i have collected over years and preferbly those which sounds like orchastra. I did play some really silly/odd tracks like "C&C Generals China Track 04" and "Pirates Of The Carribbean OST - He's A Pirate", and yeah it thought that it sounded very dramatic. Some other old tracks do include "I can sing a rainbow" and "There she goes" by Delta Goodrem and Sixpence non the richer respectively. As your mp3 collection piles up, you tend to forget that you actually had that track. Reminds me of the same action of dumping your previous favourite toy for a new toy that your parents bought you when you were young. Just some random thought.

It's now 02:24 in the dead of the morn, and i'm actually awake listening to rock music. Someone, keep me away from my PCs!!! Just thought that posting my thoughts online on of how time flies actually proves that time really flies. It's 27 minutes gone for posting this which is yet of such average/mediocre quality. I gotta improve my english BIG TIME if i'm aiming for a score of 10 pointes for my L1R4 with hopes of my E Maths, D&T and Sciences getting an A1.

Oyasumi!~

it's 3.33pm now and well yeah i'm bored to death at home now. 

Talking to Asyraf now over MSN regarding school subjects, future plans and O levels. Haven't seen him for quite a while and i wonder how he's doing now. His school schedule,  no he doesn't have a school schedule. I presume that he wakes up anytime he likes and continues on his daily self-study. MEANS LATE NIGHT EVERYNIGHT and no need to worry about getting up late for school the next day. sheesh.

Today was the start of IRP, or Intensive Remedial Programme, introduced by our school to, in a nice way of saying "boost our grades" but it's more off excessive homework one after another. They even stated that "previous students found this programme highly beneficial" , how true i'm not sure. However it didn't feel any different from any other normal school day. And it's going to continue for the 2 weeks to come, and after that it's self study. O level's 35 days from now and i'm seriously feeling the pressure. There has been this "drive" to study in me for the past few days and it felt totally different from my eat-sleep-play lifestyle. Now it's down to no-nonsense studying for an extra few hours a day and speaking of which i will have to start shelling out homework for myself later.

Also, for once for so long finally someone made me BLUSH. And the person went like "Ey you're blushing!" in class and my classmate Shafiq & Hanim turned over and sorta giggled. OWNED. Of course i denied such claims as i hid my face behind my hands as i felt the warmth in my cheeks. Wanted to study today at the WDL Library but had second thoughts of going home and taking a nap. And now i am here, blogging away for 30 minutes exactly [It's 4.03pm now]. Hope this blogging won't turn into a bad habit and start hogging up the PC.


Last but not least, Ken ah it's www.bliondi.livejournal.com & not www.blondi.livejournal.com 

Apparantly someone has a very similar domain and it's just the difference of an "I". Good anyway, so that people will START LEARNING HOW TO SPELL MY NAME PROPERLY.

Anyway, logging off soon to transfer some stuffs over to another 320GB. Damn i need more hard disk space.

Still trying to figure out how to use this site with tools and stuffs and of course, finding themes online. Well yeah i spent like 1 1/2 hours to find a GOOD theme to use, and like 30 minutes to figure out how to incorporate the codings. I'm such a big time HTML noob.

Oh damn yeah i gotta go to school and i'm actually up at 4.34am building my LJ. I don't know what to type now as my eyelids weight at least a ton each now and i'm dead tired.

Oh yeah some comments would be nice yeah~ Will update later after school if i ever have the time.
