Grrrrr...my extremely annoying cat did his "business" on the floor of my bedroom today.....My mother started screaming when she discovered the sight and it was like 6.20 in the morning..sheesh....when she discovered that the cat also did his "big business" on a pile of newspapers near my bed, she screamed even louder.....I swear I will never keep the cat in my bedroom again...

For all those who got the prestegious "20 points and below" title, I suggest going to Wei Hao's blog and see the JC Guide website that he has linked...rather "useful"......Personally...I find it hilarious....they should make the guide into a format of a book....I can assure the publishers that the entire stock of guides will be sold out within a day.....

You must be wondering why my blog has so little updates? The truth is I have become too busy and a little disturbed to actually keep updating my blog everyday....I really look up to those people who can blog every single day...amazing...

I am such a slacker.....haven't updated my blog in 4 days....the reason? Too busy I suppose..or maybe a lack of motivation to blog.....

Hehe...can anyone guess why the date of this post is significant to me? Hope you can...cos its my birthday today....I am now 16, a year older...maybe a little more mature but still fun-loving...Today marks the end of my childhood years but I can now declare myself a full-fledged teenager...I can also now be treated as an adult and jailed as one....better stop having thoughts about commiting crimes....

I guess this is my birthday "treat" for Shixuan as I will be reviewing her blog today...hope you enjoy it...

REVIEW:

Only a few people in our class know this person and I am glad to say that I am one such person. Let me introduce you guys to Shixuan or as I like to call her, "Wei Hao's cousin"... She is rather "wild" but her personality is always pleasant and refreshing...apart from the occasional swearing, she can be very cheerful and bubbly at all times....before this intro gets too long, here is the URL of her blog....http://www.ijen.blogspot.com/....

Layout:

Yep...one look and you can tell that is gal is crazy over the Matrix....the background of the blog consists of the famous Matrix trio...Neo, Trinity and Morpheus...the quote that is on the top of the blog has now become synoymous with the Matrix and various quotes scattered around different areas of the blog serve as a reminder of her undying worship of the matrix...maybe she should "unplug" herself...lol...no funny ideas though...

4 out of 5 points

General Content:

This aspect comes under heavy scruntiny as the posts are littered with various..ahem..expletives and choice vulgarities...viewers may cringe a little when they see the slightly "adult" content but the posts really express how she feels...I commend her bluntness but maybe a reduction of swear words will improve the overall score in this area....the posts are well sized and VERY expressive....Overall, a good blog to read....

3.5 out of 5 points

Reader Friendlyness:

The various colours of the posts may be a little jarring on the eyes....Its still acceptable though....the font is of a comfortable size to read and the length of the posts enable the reader to get to the crux of the posts quickly.....no problems with the tagboard but at this time of review, the ragboard was not working properly but I assume the tags there are of a friendly nature...

4.5 out of 5 points

Desirability:

Despite the heavy usage of expletives in her blog, she still manages to create a level of attraction in it...I would read her blog everyday if I had time and maybe you should too...haha....this sounds a little bias but trust me, you want to read her posts...I enjoy her "choice of words" but hey...thats just me.....read it for yourself and find out...

4 out of 5 points

Overall Points: 16 out of 20 points....All in all, an enjoyable blog to read....as I mentioned before, a reduction in the amount of vulgarities may attract the more "civillised" reader to this blog but do not let anyone cramp your style...keep doing your thing...y'all hear?

Ker Han...good news for you....your blog is up next for reviewing...muahahaha....

Time to blog again....nothing much to say about today....other than the results of the Social Studies being released...only a B3...what can I say about that? I suppose its an acceptable mark...could have done better if I had mugged a few weeks earlier before the start of the prelims....sigh...

Anyway, here are my raw marks...

English-B3(Estimated)
Chinese-C5(O Level Result)
E Maths-A1
A Maths-B4 (Estimated)
Biology-A1
Chemistry-A2
Physics-C6(Arghhh...)
Social Studies-B3(Up for Moderation)
Geography-B4(Up for Moderation)

Therefore, my L1R5=15....but it is not confirmed...so I still feel rather uncertain...Serangoon JC is still available but I wanna go to SAJC......The brainwashing in the school has certainly worked...now the only JC that I want to go is SAJC......arghhhh.....

Gonna listen to music now....have to destress..

Darn...I know I promised to review JCs today but after thinking about my prelim marks, I feel that I am not "fit" enough to review them...

What am I going to do now? Everyone in my class is gonna go to SAJC but because of my prelim results, it seems rather unlikely that I will be following them...its very depressing....but what do I know about depression....sheesh....

Will blog tomorrow....Right now, I'm gonna reflect on my life.....

So tired today....must be due to the badminton game which I played yesterday.....yawn....goona take a nap now...probably blog tomorrow....tomorrow's post will be a good one because I am reviewing....no....not blogs but Junior Colleges tomorrow!....it will be a slight deviation from my normal blog reviews but you guys don't have to worry....the reviews will continue as normal....

Zzzzzzzz..........

Now that the prelim results are out, I can roughly gauge where I can go during the first 3 months of 2005...the choices don't look good though..heck...its not even a choice when you get a L1R5 score of 20...oh well..thats life...

I am still deciding what blog to review next....some suggestions would be helpful....I have also decided to "moderate" some of the final points in my 2 reviews as some people have found my opinion too biased....therefore. the points will be brought to a respectable amount....

Before I get sued for reviewing blogs without the owners' permission, here is a helpful disclaimer...

DISCLAIMER: My reviews are based on opinion and may not be factually correct. If you do not agree with my opinion, you may discuss about the possibility of an edit but please do not send death threats to my email or flame my tagboard. If you still carry out the activities that I have mentioned above after reading this disclaimer, then I will revert the death threats and flames to my "friends" who have way too much guns and time on their hands. Thank you for your co-operation. (Hope you guys do not get too offened by this...lol)

[IMPORTANT UPDATE]: The relevant scores have been moderated.

Before I begin the review of Lcm's blog, here is what happened today...
I attended my father's graduation ceremony at the Shangri-La Hotel today and it was rather boring....the chancellors of the unversity were so old and sopke so softly that I could hardly even hear them...even with the microphone and me sitting in the front row...just for your information, the full name of the university is The University Of Queensland or UQ for short...
The reception was the best part of the day and the food served was fantastic..sushi...Dim Sum....the works...almost like a feast and I stuffed myself...maybe thats why I couldn't eat any dinner afterwards...I also got the chance to wear my father's coat and it was great sight..I looked almost like James Bond...lol....anyway..a fun experience....did I mention I was listening to my MP3 player during the speeches? How rude of me....
So heres the review you all been waiting for..enjoy....

REVIEW:

Everyone in 4SA knows this chap....the nerd and the failure in love...but can we really judge this person by the way he behaves in real life? His blog offers us a chance to understand the complexities of his inner self and dive deep into his feelings and thoughts....so may I present the blog of Low Chong Ming a.k.a "Ah Ming" at http://www.hi5campdiary.blogspot.com/ (My link button doesn't work and as a result, you will have to manually enter his url..sorry for the inconvinience...very pai seh..)

Layout:

A message first greets you when you enter his blog....scrolling text lines the title of the blog window when minimized..this are rather good works of Java/HTML...unfortunately...there are broken images all over his blog and the lack of a tagboard really pulls down the quality of the layout of his blog...the pictures are a rather nice touch but the short video clip in his blog lags and really irritates me when the music suddenly cuts in and out...the links are organised and the bio profile is acceptable...generally...an above average layout...

3 out of 5 points

General Content:

This aspect really kills his blog....the posts are saturated with issues about love,infatuations, sordid affairs, crpytic messages with names of girls and the misuse/overuse of flowering language..his attempt to post in german is a real eyesore on his blog....not only is the post unreadable due to the use of a web based translator, there are also wierd symbols scattered in those posts....Some people might say that they should be allowed to write about their relationships with girls on their blogs but I prefer if they would try to keep it private and not brag about it...this blog was in fact started by lcm because of an infatuation with a girl attending the same camp as him...as a result, I cannot give him high marks in this area...

3 out of 5 points

Reader friendlyness:

The font is well sized but the wavy style of the font is a little difficult to read...his posts are quite long but informative..too much of his posts are dedicated to the discussion of his feelings toward girls but as I always say..to each his own......Unfortunately,his blog was also under attack by flamers during the previous 3 months...the tagboard on his blog was rendered unuseable due to the huge number of flames hurling insults at lcm....apparently, the flamers were and are still tired of his arrogant nature and his pompous attitude towards people...not a friendly blog to be during those 3 months....in the end, he had to shut down his tagboard in order to preserve the sanctity of his blog...a necessary evil I must admit....

2.5 out of 5 points

Desirability:

A blog filled with flames is not a good place to be....coupled with the complains of spyware being loaded onto the computers of visitors and the tagboard being removed, desirability thus has to fall...would you really want to visit his blog after what has happened? Lets hope that the bad times of this is blog are now over...

2.5 out of 5 points

Overall Points:11 out of 20 points....Quite an average score for a blog that promised so much...there is room for improvement though and lcm can make those improvements by making an effort to improve his blog....best wishes to him...

The next blog I will review will be a mystery.....if you really want to find out...keep reading my blog during this week...I may reveal the identity of the person..hehe....peace...

[IMPORTANT UPDATE]: The relevant scores have been moderated.

Today's post will be a rather interesting one as I will be reviewing someone's blog...that person could be someone you know or someone you don't...it doesn't really matter...the main point of this is to showcase the finer points of each persons' blog...

Without further ado...today's lucky blog will be http://www.ignoremi.blogspot.com a.k.a Tan Wei Hao's blog...everyone in 4SA knows him as "Hao Ge" or "Ah Hao" but how does he express himdelf in his blog...today we shall find out...

Layout:

Wei Hao has indeed chosen a good blog skin to represent what he feels inside of him but the black colour can be gloomy at times...the links are well sorted out and the profile is well written...he even remembered to give credit for the designer of the blog skin....and according to Wei Hao, the O Level Countdown Timer is supposed to remain static until you refresh the page and then the timer updates itself...oh well...still a fine blog

4 out of 5 points

General Content:

The content is rather good and well balanced...it also not controversial which prevents a lot of problems...some humour is thrown in to keep the atmosphere light and cheery and his posts are a pleasure to read....the command of English is good too....generally, a pleasant blog to read...

4 out of 5 points

Reader Friendlyness:

No problems here as Wei Hao has made the font used in his posts big enough to be read without the need to strain your eyes...the size of his posts are also just the right size and suitable for quick reading...

5 out of 5 points

Desirability:

Wei Hao's blog deserves full marks in this aspect as his blog attracts readers....you don't have to worry about any controversial topics or sordid affairs being posted on his blog....there is absolutely no presence of flames on his tagboard which is a clear sign of the unwavering popularity of his blog... the constant updating of his blog also increases the desirability of it....this is the blog that you would want read daily...need I say anything more?

5 out of 5 points

Overall Points: 18/20....Therefore this is a highly recommended blog and it earns my stamp of approval...although it might not mean much to you guys

Our next review will be a one which you cannot miss....you love him or you hate him...its the blog of Low Chong Ming!......

I finally fufilled my ambition of handling and firing an MP5 when I went for the Army Open house with KH, LCM, Zhe Yin and his younger bro....it was very cool and I must say that the gun is very impressive....the accuracy is astounding and it is lightweight too...although I had trouble lifting it up.....and they claim the gun weighs only 2.3kg....I'll bet that the useless attachments such as the light in front and the scope made it weigh at least 3 kg....

No problems with the recoil as I managed to get consistent headshots but Ker Han unfortunately had a problem with his laser sight and as a result, he was blasting the mock terrorists and the hostages....hehe...good thing they didn't use real humans as hostages....

The Capture the Flag game using real life SAR-21s was the best part of the trip...I had never fired an assault rifle before and not surprisingly, I was rather nervous as we were briefed on how to handle the rifle and the rules of the game. The game was even made more realistic by the addition of live blanks in the SAR-21....as a result, the firing of the gun created loud bangs and unfortunately, I suffered some ear damage as Ker Han opened fire just as I was standing next to him......and the rules clearly stated...DO NOT FIRE YOUR SAR-21 IF A PERSON IS STANDING IN THE ONE METRE RADIUS AROUND YOU......sheesh...I had constant ringing in my ear after that...its almost felt like being flashbanged.....

Sadly, we lost as the entire team was camping behind the walls and taking potshots at the opposite team's players....I felt that we could have won if we were not so cautious...I mean everyone took cover immediately and did not venture out until the game was over....dam....I don't even know whether I managed to achieve any kills...but it was still fun....

I must visit the next Army open house as I can't wait to handle to the SAR-21 again....

Oh yea...Guess what I got for my birthday present? A brand new MuVo TX FM 256MB Creative MP3 player! The idea of spending $189 on the player baulked me at first but I decided what the heck...money must be spent and it was a good investment....

I can begin the great task of uploading all my favourite songs on the player....its gonna be swell....but first........my father has to purchase a USB hub....turns out my only available USB hub is not functional....stupid Dell computer...

Gonna play with my new toy now....what fun...

I will keep this post short and simple because of its extremely mature content....but I am not a prude so the details will not be censored out...

On my way to the Toa Payoh sports hall for a game of badminton, I saw a school boy, probably Sec 3 or 4 waiting for the bus at the bus stop near the void neck near my block...nothing unusual right? Wrong. A school girl, probably also Sec 3 or 4 was sitting on his lap. She was enjoying it...apparently. Worse still, the boy was fondling and teasing the girl and she was creating wierd shrieks of joy....kinda makes your imagination run wild doesn't it? I must also mention that both of them were Chinese. There was also a Malay girl seated next to them. From my observation, she also knew the pair but she refrained from any physical activity with the two...lol...

I just hope the three of them are not planning on a threesome...haha...
