First of all, if there’s ever gonna be a Mars transit, we’d better start worrying now — Serious. Transit is when a planet is seen moving across the face of the Sun from Earth, eclipsing in a sense. In order for a Mars Transit to occur, Mars has to be within the orbit of Earth, so that makes us further away from the Sun than Mars which is already 1.6 AU away from the Sun… @$#% Another ice age?! >.
And he went on to send me a ppt of this apparent Mars, er, opposition (that’s the correct term for that matter) occuring on the 27th of August.

To quote the ppt,
“Mars will be easy to spot. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.”

And they’re even nice enough to provide a comparison. o_O

LOLOLOLOLOLOL =D

Okay, to get this straight…

Will Mars appear extremely close and bright later this month? No. Regardless of numerous urban legends circulating, Mars will appear relatively normal in August. Mars is made one of its closest approach on 2003 August 27, when it appeared slightly brighter than it had in nearly 60,000 years.

At that period of 2003, I remembered this myth started by circulating as a chain email (and it seems like this email circulates annually since then around this period of time, only with the year changed). Well, it’s mostly true at that time, ‘cept for the fact that Mars will not (and will never) appear as large as the Moon. And if Mars actually did, once again we should start worrying like hell, ‘cos the gravitation tug between Earth and Mars would be so insanely strong that we might very well be on the route to collision. w00ts.

Thank you.

Um… let’s just say that I’m not inclined to have a stargazing smacked right during my prelims for a mythical (if not highly dangerous) event. =/

“HELiX is a man of contradictions.” – 1nertia, 03/08/06

I won’t disagree nor agree, but maybe I should point out that…

1nertia is a man (if applicable, ‘else replace term if necessary) of contradictions. Too.

So what do we have here? Right, an interesting (sweeping) statement that the world’s tens of millions of bloggers who do blog-linking are, well, gays.

Maybe he’s just hinting that he has some kinda problem with his xq28 region of his X chromosome (or to put it simply he’s well, eh, ghey)… but sorry dood, I’m straight.

Thanks for the sarcasm at that time, very much appreciated thank you. Now could you ask yourself that question?

And I’m tired of reading the chatlogs. Uh.

Jade tagged me. Bleh.

Rules: Write sentences starting with the words in bold…

I am I.

I said um.

I want so many things that I can’t possibly list them all down here.

I wish I had what what I wanted, duh =__=

I miss astro comps T__T

I hear uh, silence.

I wonder why did I actually bother with this.

I regret getting started on this.

I am… isn’t this repeated?!

I dance… not.

I sing the National Anthem ‘cos the blardy school forced us to sing.

I am not anything like Mrs 103.

I cry… not.

I’m not always looking forward to doing such tags. In fact, I never did.

I make this tag totally pointless with my nonsense.

I write with a horrendous handwriting that had Mrs Hoe minus 2 marks occasionally from my compos.

I’m confuse about illogical stuffs. Like this tag.

I need to start studying for my prelims and O levels now.

I should start studying for my prelims and O levels now. (Yay recycled point! =P)

I tag 1nertia, Hazel & Jasmine.

w00ts!! National Day in 5 days! Ok, that isn’t exactly my point, but the accompanying string of spammage holidays is l33t omgtehpwn! =P In fact, who gives a flyingfox about National Day? Everyone’s happy not because it’s the anniversary of our independence, but rather, the holidays that we get to enjoy (and maybe the fireworks at the very most).

Once again, yay.

…

And more importantly, the World Cyber Games nationals and asian (Regional) championships are in 6 days’ time! In view of this, I’ve made a temporal WCG blogskin for the sheer fun of it. Like it or not, it’ll stay ’till WCG is over! =P

…

Hmm.

Today my class received our Reader’s Digest August issue, and on the cover…

LOLOLOLOLOL TEST FOR NUTS OMGL33TWTHBBQ ROFLMAO TEH PWNED! =D

Yet again, yay! (Eh, no idea what for tho. Bleh.)

No idea what to blog about, but will do so for the sake of doing so. Uh.

Ok, today the sec 4s had our homework periods spent in the hall, attending a supposedly inspiration talk by Principal Ong on how screwed the mid year exams results were. From the looks of it, maybe she was trying to persuade us to start our mugging for the prelims (and ultimately the O’levels), but at the end of the 1h 20mins, i think the message sent across was not “Start your revision now”, but rather “Judging from your mid-year results, y’all are goners”. And I’m not one bit inspired.

And today we received a good joke from the school. Or at least I’m very amused by it.

Ok… Where do I start…? Straight to the point? Alright then — Ripoff with the capital R.

$200 for a Pentium III 866MHz with 128MB RAM and integrated graphi… whaaaaat? And the 17-inch monitor + keyboard + mouse costs $20? Ok, I guess this thingy is for students who can’t afford to have a computer at home, so its a rather low-end 2nd hand computer blah blah blah… But I mean, seriously, a computer with these specifications can be bought for under $100, and here they are, cheating the money off poor lil’ kids. Not that I’m expecting anyone to be dumb enough to buy tho. =/

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. :-)

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

eh, forgive the lameness plzthxbye.
