200 hits to this blog in 2 days is no joke.. If you're here, I assume that you've gotten the images.05b7b 'virus' thingy and are looking for help. Seems like the site is owned by a group in Hong Kong called Blue China Group, Ltd, so blame them for all your troubles.Here are some tips you might find helpful:
1) Don't click links on MSN blindly, especially if the person just sent it out of the blue. At least ASK what it is before clicking.
2) If you entered your username and password on the site, change your password ASAP. Here's an excerpt of their T&C from their website.
We may temporarily access your MSN account to do a combination
of the following:
1. Send Instant Messages to your friends promoting this site.
2. Introduce new entertaining sites to your friends via Instant Messages.
Meaning they're probably hijacking your account to spam your friends.
3) If this thing happens to be a virus, try checking your MSConfig. Start>Run>msconfig. Go to the startup tab. If you find any suspicious startup links, delete them.

The Me Problem
Went for a medical appointment today. I was supposed to be discharged already, but the doctor wants me to get an x-ray before letting me go. Just nice, I didn't bring enough money for the x-ray, so I'm going back next week..sigh..Only after getting on the MRT did I realise that I MIGHT actually have had enough money, but guess its too late for that.
Would anyone like to adopt a cute pink whale keychain? UPDATE: Whaley has been adopted!

Late nights are nice. Quiet time to yourself. Add a glass of milk and some Mamee noodle snacks and you're all set.I just got a book entitled 'Learn to play guitar'. It was too tempting considering the book was being sold for only $8.13. The problem is, I don't have a guitar.. maybe the one from GH3 would work?

Straying from the light
Companies do things not too accepted by society. They try their best to keep quiet about it. When their employees let slip about it, they get fired. Who's at fault in the first place?March 15, 2008

Fridays
Friday, 7 Mar:I go to class as usual. I take the bus, alight, enter the building, take 4 escalators up, and walk towards my class. JUST before I reach the door, I feel my handphone ringing. I pick up: "Hi, your teacher is sick today, so there won't be any class this week. We'll settle a replacement lesson later on".
So instead, I walk around Orchard road a bit. This man comes up to me. It went something like this:
Donation man says, "Hi. Don't worry, I'm not trying to sell you anything." --- (quote 1)
At this point, I knew he was one of those donation-solicitors, and either way, he was going to try to make me part with my money.
"I'm part of (so-and-so society), and we help to (do something for some children)"
He shows me a file, and proceeds to quickly flip through it, expecting me to read everything in those few seconds. I can't even remember what charity they're working for, nor the charity's agenda. And I don't even think this fault is on my part..
Next, he says, "You're a diploma holder, right?" --- (quote 2)
This kinda took me by surprise. I have no idea why he asked this, but I found out pretty soon.
He shows me a piece of paper that looks like discount coupons. 6 coupons of $6 off at Eng Wah cinemas for 4 people.
So, the thick-skinned donation collector asked, "So, how much would you like to donate? $50? $60?" <-- refer to quote 2 (apparently diploma holders are rich)
I counter-offered him $4 - $5, just to make him happy. He shows me the sticker on the wrapper that states '$10'. (refer to quote 1) I offered to donate the money without wanting the 'freebies', but he rejected it, saying it wasn't allowed or something. He says "Nevermind, its ok.", then walks off to catch other passer-bys.
Brilliant marketing strategy there. See, the charity teams up with the cinema in a joint venture. The cinema sells the discount coupons to the charity at say around $2-$3 each. The charity gets people to go around, getting people to 'buy donations'. People are more willing to donate because they get discount coupons. This means more donations to the charity. Even though the charity has to pay Eng Wah for the coupons, the donations they raise are more than enough to cover the coupon costs. Eng Wah cinemas get the profit earned from the coupons, and they also get more customers since the people who donated for the tickets will have to use them sooner or later. Charity wins, cinema wins. The spirit of free-will donation dies. =(
Finally, to end off, answer the question below. Virtual cookies for the right answer.
What is the girl on the right thinking?
a)Ahhh, your skin is so soft! How I wish I had skin like that too!
b)Ahhh, your neck looks really juicy! How I wish I could have a bite!

Bad Taste in my Mouth
Looks like if you intentionally miss a school event, you're essentially a sinner, you're a scum. Rawr, shall your conscience prick you forever!I shall be keeping this short since I'm down with the runny nose again. I bet it does 2.4 better than me..

The school exists for its students
Interesting Founder's Day. So we get seats on the damp, fake grass. Fair enough. Parade starts, 5 minutes into it and a few drops appear. 5 more minutes and poof, instant rain! While we huddle together under tiny umbrellas, the parade stalls completely. After a while, the rain starts getting somewhat lighter. The MC, by no fault on her account, reads something like this: "Seeing as the weather has improved, we will now resume the parade. Meanwhile, let's give a round of applause to the teachers braving the rain out on the astroturf." Uh oh! Two problems here. One, we're still standing out in the rain. After going through watery hell, you tell us to continue enduring the rest of the parade? Not smart. Two, at that time, pretty much all of the teachers were already nice and dry under shelter. Yep, you guessed it. That meant that it was only us and the parade contingents left under the rain. Then this teacher patrols the entire length of the field, telling all of us to sit down. On the soaked, fake grass. Eventually the rain gets too heavy and we get evacuated out. Using a mathematical formula, we can now see that PeopleUnderRain = (Us + ParadeContingents) - Us = ParadeContingents. They proceeded on with the whole parade under the rain.. whoever should be pitied the most, it should be them.Not forgetting ourselves, what do we get after countless moles of H2O? A voice that tells us to kindly proceed to the auditorium for the presentation ceremony.

Just another meaningless ceremony
I do not see the point on forcing compulsory attendance of school events. In my opinion, events are something you go to willingly. Events are things people attend if it interests them. For example, parents gets interested in attending an award ceremony if their kids are winning awards. People get interested in attending a sport event if the team they support are playing.Forcing attendance is ironic. The dictionary defines an event as "A social gathering or activity". What brings people together? Similar interests. You like WoW, I like WoW, we both play WoW together. You like WoW, I don't like WoW, we don't play WoW together. Simple as that. By forcing compulsory attendance, we have this situation: You like WoW, I don't like WoW, but you force me to play WoW by threatening me with (insert horrible deed here). So in the end, I play WoW, but only half-heartedly at most. The original intention of WoW is to kill monsters, level up, and ultimately have fun. By forcing one to play, you take away the original intention of having fun. Thus by forcing attendance on school events, you take away the meaning of the event itself: a social gather or activity that brings people of similar interests together.
At this point, teachers and members of educational institutions might say: "But since students are part of the school, they are obligated to attend school events, take part in school fundraisers, etc etc." This concept is as flawed as compulsory NS. Being born in this country, you are obligated to serve the country. Sure, you might be able to capture the physical aspects of us, but it is ultimately our hearts that make the difference. You might be forced to train to defend your country, but will you defend it if it holds no special meaning to you? We only do it through loyalty. Forcing things on us is definitely not the way to go about building up loyalty.
So, for what reason are we forced to go for school events if we don't want to? To build up public image perhaps? Cheer on some sports CCA, not a single player whom you know, that might build the image of the school as one in spirit. Attending a prize-giving ceremony which means nothing to you, that might show the parents how ON we are. All to create a facade. Who wins in the end? Not us..
