Jacob's Ladder - A Jacob’s Ladder is the type of high voltage “climbing arc” display seen in many old (and usually bad) Sci-Fi movies. Jacob’s Ladder come in all shapes, styles, and sizes.

NOTICE

On the 19th of September 2007, HELiXATED.COM was taken offline due to... I should say, disciplinary issues concerning the owner. Almost exactly a month after the incident, I have decided to revive this blog in its all-new glory. Relevant changes had to be made.

An account registration system has been implemented. While public posts will still be made, more private and sensitive issues require an account to view. Registration is simple. Just refer to the... stuffs, on the left. Upon registering, I'll have to approve your account based first. I'll only accept people who I know, friends of people who I know, and friends of friends of people who I know... and that's pretty much everyone. Eh.

Oh and one more thing. This is a disclaimer that everything and anything mentioned on this blog COMPLETELY does not reflect the opinion of the owner. All characters and events described in this blog are fictional. The ideas and characters are the figments of my imagination, and any resemblance to real life people, either living or dead, is purely coincidental. Don't believe in anything.

Unless, of course, I tell you to do so.

Cheers!

CCA Certificate Crap. Or the CCC.

After an hour of a pointless e.math timed practice after school, followed by 2.5 hours of a tedious a.math timed practice by you-know-who, I’m not too sure whether my senses are still functioning. But here goes.

Yay, rant time.

Ok, today we got our CCA certificates, and the CCA points system is damn well screwed. Well, for a start, I got 27 points — decently above the 25 point mark required for an A1 — fair enough.

But it’s disturbing to find out what others get. The teachers, for one, are to blame. Let’s see… I have lots of missing CIP hours, including ones like the 10 hours from the 45th Anniversary, plus 12 hours of Primary School Science Quizzes, just to name two. Ok, not that CIP can give me much more points anyway.

And there’s the occasional (verging on frequent) mistakes made by the teachers. XJ got whaaaat… 4 points for RJC Astrigue? And I get 3. Yessss one point, but it does make a difference, considering that I got 2 miserable points above the A1 mark. And other CCAs get 3 points for a silverish achievement when they’re supposed to get 2. Bleh.

And the worst of all? CCA Council. I’m not too sure whether the teachers are to be blamed here, but definitely it has gotta do with one of them at the very least. Ok, my logic? CCA Council are leaders in their CCA, getting among the highest possible points obtainable through leadership in CCAs. But well, on top of that, they get an additional 3 leadership points (yeah that’s a hell lot of points for leadership) for being in the CCA Council. So the rich gets richer, and in this case, it gives the doods with loads of leadership points, more points. And what do they do in the CCA Council? “Nothing” is a good start.

But well, an A1’s an A1. And the only thing I’m glad about the cert is that it’s four pages long, spammed with achievements =D

So I’ll enjoy laughing at DW for now until he gets his A1. :-)

Cookie Transmogrification

If the world isn’t weird enough scientifically, it gets even more absurd to learn that certain cookies have birthdays — unscientifically. And such is what happened today.

A particularly sugary cookie with a nut toppings had his (or should I say, its) birthday today, and his present is none other than… whaaaaat? CashewNUT Sugee cookies? Ok, I’ll just assume that you get the link =___=

As far as I’m concerned, he appreciated it. Hmm. He’d better have.

But well, I tried to ensure that his birthday didn’t have any downs, but well… unfortunately for him (and me), he requested a Quake 4 match. =_____=


With the screenie provided, it’s needless to say, he was like “bs” all over (twice only actually). In this case, bs = backstab, and not some other word of a higher magnitude of offensiveness. But seriously, it’s called tactics for one, and does really he expect me to stand behind him and watch him run away, while typing “hey i’m behind you dood!”? Well, I’ll be open-minded for the answer to this question, as he’s a cookie after all! =P

And thus, the world’s first cookie transmogrification was performed, with the sugary nut flavoured cookie turning into an Oreo after the creamin’ from the Quake 4 match! =P

Before:

After:

eh, forgive the lameness plzthxbye.

Game on!

With the prelims approaching, it makes perfect sense for me to get back to some serious mugging and revision.

With the World Cyber Games approaching, it makes perfect sense for me to get back to some competitive gaming.

So I decided to try out Shaun/TWIS in a 1v1 UT match.

I hosted the game and…




Ok, at least that wasn’t as bad as Sujay’s scoreline but well, since he was complaining ’bout the lag, we played another another round with him hosting. And indeed, the lag was omgwtfbbqtehpwned.


And so I got my ass kicked in that lag, with my shots having a one second delay and my movements seemingly like teleporting.

But adding both scores together, I win 23-10! Woohoo!

Sugary Nutsons

Shopping with girls gets as horrible as it sounds, if not more.

Even for one item.

Firstly, while we boys simply enter one shop and buy whatever we require, ignoring whatever limitations there might be, girls will have you to visit more shops than you can ever visit in an entire week.

Next, there’s that all familiar smell in the air that tells me, somehow, I’ll be paying the full cost. And from the looks of it, I already did.

Of course, not to mention, you’ll end up carrying the stuff bought at the end of it. Which I did.

And although I got 1nertia to go with me, I still got pwned. I can’t comtemplate the consequences if I actually went alone with them.

Meoww.

1v1 UT!

Well, just to have some fun, two days back, I had a 1v1 Unreal Tournament match with… Sujay/Exterminator/Sugary Nutson/Cookie/Barney/[insert name here]/whatever!

And…




ROFLMAOiwannalollerskatesc00kiegotpwned!

So the Exterminator got exterminated, and next up, he requested Quake 4! But seriously, I only played Quake 4 online ONCE. Arghh.
