Gp...

had GP paper 1 and 2 today... i think its some MI culture or wad. GP paper is ALWAYS on a friday and the whole school would have it together. For the past 3 yrs, it has proven to be true. last time we had to stay till 5.30 pm to finish the paper as we would have lessons in the morning. this yr i think cos got sports day dats why got no lessons in the morning.

don't think i will do too well in the GP exam. will be so jia lat as to fail but wont get too fantastic results too. btw, i got 32/50 for my last essay. school ended at 12pm today. so we had lunch in school. then we went to jurong west regional library to while the time away... shawn was doing his maths while i was reading my books with alternate trips to the loo. drank too much water. after that we had dinner and went back to school. the stadium was a bee-hive of activity. everyone was just so psyched up... we were supposed to split into our various houses. but in 05S5 tradition, we stayed together in 1 corner of the stadium watching the races and events.

it got quite boring after a while and we left at 9+pm. so now here i am typing something for the blog..


shawn told me about this.. it seems that microsoft has bought over firefox!!! EEK!! could this mean the end to freeware?














NOT!!! :)


check out the system requirements.. -.-


which browser would tot super fast download speeds for porn as part of its feature? its a fake... some bugger came up with the spoof website.. but its damn good la.. the flash animations work and the links all work (most of it anyway..)

was reading a book today entitled: "OUSTED". this book was on the run up leading to the merger and separation of Singapore from Malaysia.. apparently what we studied in social studies in sec sch does not cover these areas.. only the really rudimentary.. anyway, it gave me new insight as to what really set the 2 leaders apart. Tunku Abdul Rahman and Lee Kuan Yew. the way they were brought up and initiated into politics was vastly different and i believe this has resulted in the difference in the way they perceived the entire affair. i'll end here. dun want to launch into a tirade..

LKY said: "For me, it is a moment of anguish. All my life, my whole adult life, I have believed in merger and unity of the two territories."

i dont think that he would find anything to be anguish about now should he look back... we are doing so much better on ourselves.. i think things would have been worse if we had been under KL.

"Whereas it is the inalienable right of a people to be free and independent, I, Lee Kuan Yew, prime minister of Singapore, do hereby proclaim and declare on behalf of the people and the government of Singapore that as from today, the ninth day of August in the year one thousand nine hundred and sixty-five, Singapore shall be forever a sovereign, democratic and independent nation, founded upon the principles of liberty and justice and ever seeking the welfare and happiness of her people in a more just and equal society." - Lee Kuan Yew, 9 August 1965, 10am, radio broadcast.

Forever and independent nation.. this word has profound implications.. would i be willing to go to war to defend Singapore? i believe yes. everything that i own is here. everyone that i know is here. if i dun defend it when the time comes, den it will all be gone.

lol. sound so serious.. ah well. when and should the time come, we shall know.. pretty late already.. i shall retire to my bed.. :)
