Oh My Ga-od x30

It turns out Vesak Day is a very important holiday observed prevalently in Southeast Asia by Buddhists. Go figure.

In other words...oooooooooooomg the projects. So overwhelming...all due within a day or two from each other. It's going to make the coming of exams a huge smack in the face. First dealings is the Comp Sci Presentations due Monday, then Latin Essay and Creative needs to be dealt with by Friday, Physics motor is going to be an underlying threat, World History needs to be shoved into a pretty package by next week, and English will constantly annoy me with stupid prose test and presentation as time goes by. While that goes by Chemistry and Physics decide to stick in exams for fun, then I get assaulted by a full year's content of Math and then Biology, which is never all that fun to study for.

This is a good time to vent. Which is why some dudes are coming on Sunday to clean my home's central venting system thing.

Tick Tock Went the Bomb

I finally got around to stealing that funny clock cursor because I'm that original. But it's fun watching the day fly by so I'll keep it for now.

Appearantly our Singaporean friend switched away from his crazy butterfly layout. Har. He also refers to Victoria's Day as Vesak Day?

Reebops will be eaten into extinction.

...whoa?

Haha, so I decided to click on Jenn's blog's link...only to find this. Appearantly it has been invaded by a Singaporean boy who likes butterflies and bright text colours. I think I shall remove it from my list...eventually.

It's 3 AM idiots.

Last night was John's party, and we got him the most wonderfully ingenious card. Sort of. After the television, there was Monopoly, where Cooper got himself so angry he eventually jumped onto Jason and began the whacking.

Afterwards was a time of unpeaceful sleeping hindered by allergies and a crazy gang of drunk teenagers. The gang wandered outside onto the lawn across the street and at first were simply babbling incoherently. Eventually they began spontaneously shouting profanity, calling for beer, and wrestling. Someone began taking random photographs, and the flashing was really bright and annoying. If anyone got into a car we would've called the police. The sound of beer bottles meeting pavement was heard, and a particular small man who was the most drunk of them all began to smash a bottle. With the level of alcohol, things began to get...pretty. (harhar) Climatically the man shouted for water. When obtaining it, he shouted, "If this water has alcohol in it I'm gonna fucking kill yous." Then they wandered inside, probably brooding over a plan on how to get sober. Oh, and at the same time, setting off fireworks. In the end they all came back out and walked down the street in a large pack, thankfully without their cars.

Sleep overcame me, and upon awakening at 8 AM...they were heard outside again. Returned from...wherever they came from. But yes, that whole fiasco was really amusing. I will now finish off those crazy assignments and test studying.

Portugese Urine: Roman Toothwaste

Since E3 '05 is going on lots of pretty new gameplay videos have been released on Age of Empires 3 and the game looks very very very good so far. The graphics are the first obvious thing, but their new physics operations are amazing. The buildings, contrary to most other RTS, don't just enflame as they take damage or begin to disintegrate, but parts of the building fall off gradually, becoming hazardous debris towards units. Trees will collapse around targetted areas. The water will make realistic splashes and ripples. When units get hit their guns and hats will actually fall off and roll around, and they'll bounce off buildings if blown into one. This gives me a new respect and hope for Ensemble Studios after Age of Mythology, which had fair gameplay in its own right, but wasn't what I was expecting. The game will be out around September or later this year and you'll surely find it on my wishlist.

You got Bio'ed

If you didn't know, the U of T Biology Competition 2005 results are up. My haphazard guessing got me into a lot of trouble. In the end I ended up not passing the contest :P

Correct: 20
Inccorect: 15
Blank: 15

Total : 15/50 (Correct - 1/3 Incorrect)
Excuse: 70% for effort.

Therefore, if I do it again next year I should have a bit of a better chance since I should've covered all of the topics in the contest.

Overall Markham District did not perform very well. We were about 65th or something, which, compared to some of the other schools around us, was so-so. No particular student from Markham did well except for this one Asian kid (his name says so) from Brother Andre. Darns.

Note: One of the links in the site to the answer key doesn't work, so in the address bar change the "2004" to a "2005" in the URL. Then the actual page appears. Like magic.
