End of Another Pathetic Season for Liverpool

Tomorrow night, Liverpool meets Chelski at Anfield.
Easy win for the Reds? Ask Grant.

Yet Chelski is unbelievably still hot on the heels of Man U. I really don't know who to support; I hate both sides and hope they die tomorrow (why not today?).
If both draw and lose their remaining two matches each and Arsenal win all three matches, the title is also Arsenal's...

I can't wait for Fergie's retirement after 21 years.
They will become Charlton II!
Don't believe me?
Fergie's retirement WILL bring about a period of instability to the Devils. They will probably appoint Massimo Taibi or Stinky Mc Fad as his successor. I hope something similar will happen to Arsenal as well, once the whiner Wenger leaves.
As for Chelski, they will always be a nip in the bud.

The author has to hope again that United will NEVER overtake Liverpool in the overall number of First Division trophies won through history.

Sian S4 Life

The title itself is sian per se.
No mood to study, what to do? I must soldier on!
Some asshole called Hao Pu does not want to do a thing about the presentation for English.
Boring.
Sian.
The author... *Yawn!

History in a Kaleidoscope

What do you get when you have to mug and you cannot blog frequently? You get a post chock-full of content.

First, an update on the National Science Challenge.
After the first round, the scores read SJI 4, ZHSS 2, RI 2.
After the second round, the scores read SJI 22, ZHSS 18, RI 22.
After the third round, the scores read SJI 31, ZHSS 29, RI 30.
Then came the disaster in the last round. All 3 of us had mental blocks; we did not press the buzzer for some questions even though we knew the answers! We answered 2 questions wrong and got a score of -2. ZHSS got -1. RI? +5.
Fish. RI were very slow in answering the questions and I am thoroughly disgusted and indignant at ourselves for allowing that Rafflesia an easy victory.
Well, that's that.

Then came National Day. Virtually every one raised eyebrows at the CLS Wushu Performance, probably as it showcased merely basic movements. On the floating platform, President Nathan neither recited the pledge nor sang the national anthem. The scholars had fun at the Asean Dance too.

Meanwhile, I was mugging and mugging and mugging. Quite like being bound to a nine-to-five desk job. Eventually, I finished in the joint-top position with Alvin in the class -- not taking into consideration the fact that Alvin takes Higher Mother Tongue whereas I think Express Mother Tongue.

END. Catch the National Science Challenge every Thursday at 7.30 pm from 16 August to 27 September! Each episode lasts half-an-hour!

The flight of time is so fast that it makes the author's head spin...

The National Science Challenge (Qualifying Round)

Yesterday, I went for the aforementioned event with Monty, Vinod, JP and Alvin.
Was there cheemology? Yes, I had never heard of pulsars before.
After the competition, we walked 1km, Monty left and then the rest of us walked back 1km along a road bearing a strange name, "Biopolis Road". There was another road called "Central Exchange Green", which few taxi drivers probably know of.
Then, in a random order, they announced the names of the schools that had qualified for the Quarter-Finals (like SJI) but not before showing us a video of last year's edition. That humiliated us, as SJI was 12 points behind HydroCarbon Iodide and 9 behind VickyJC Zhitongche.
I was really hoping that RI would not enter. Alas, it was the last to be announced.
Schools that have failed to qualify this year include MGS, Tanjong Katong Girls', CHIJ St Nicholas (despite having notes printed out by the teachers there), Nanyang Girls', NJC (IP), VJC (IP) and St Margaret's.
Then, the organisers pooled SJI into Group C through a lucky draw. Fortunately, we avoided ACSI, NUS High and HydroCarbon Iodide. We got dark horses Zhonghua Sec and shitty RI instead.
I hope we'll do well.
The author will bask in glory for now.

Injustices

Following AC Milan's example, a team can cheat and yet not get relegated. Instead, it can go on to win Europe's most prestigious tournament to be crowned the "Champions" of this continent.
Additionally, West Ham is not docked points for breaching U18. Instead, this inconsistent club receives a fine and goes on to defy the odds of relegation.

You can cheat but you can still win. You can cheat but you lose 10 points less than another club that is being sucked into administration.

So what does it all spell for soccer?
A bleak future?

Gila.

The author would like to reiterate that he is not eating sour grapes.

Do You Believe In Karma?

I'm not afraid if Liverpool loses the Champions League Final.
I believe God is on our side.
How can AC Milan, a team headed by match-fixers, be seemingly absolved from the guilt of the Serie A scandal and charge to the final, starting with a relatively easy first round?
Even if the Italians win on Thursday morning, they will get their karma one day.
What goes around comes around.
Beware Milan, Liverpool is strong so don't be arrogant.
Yes, I agree with Ancelotti. Liverpool can't play soccer! They are a fake soccer team!
Bullshit! We beat Barca. Can AC Milan do the same to the Catalans?
Hence, paint the sky red!

The author only learnt today that Joshua Goh is a Magpie.

My Back Is Maimed

My Literature Alternative Assessments Portfolio currently reads,
"1) Shakespearean Themes,
2) Marriage Partners,
3) One-sentence Poem."
What's more, I'm about to complete another three AAs, namely Song Review, World War One and Hindu Gods. Oh my god, I thought we are only required to do four anually. It's barely T2W5 yet! Sigh... I wonder what more there is to come.
The author is not moaning, he is just ephemerally overwhelmed.

Soccer News

This is a little outdated. However, it really deserves mention.
Man U beat Roma 7-1!
The Red Devils literally ate the Romans up. Gone is the turtle.
C Ronaldo is freakin' good, such that Real Madrid is willing to fork out a hefty sum of 54 million British pounds. All that the Galacticos know is to spend. They are worse than Chelski, really. I hope Pool sweeps all in the Champions League.
By the way, do you believe in miracles?
Man U loses to her remaining 6 EPL opponents ---- (1)
Chelski beats Man U but loses to her other remaining 5 EPL opponents ---- (2)
Liverpool beats her remaining 6 EPL opponents 4-0 each ---- (3)
(1) + (2) + (3)
Liverpool wins her first EPL title in 17 years on the 9 May 2007.
Believe.
The author laments the apparent deaths of several blogs -- Shannon's, Siddarth's, Daryl's etc.

I Need Some Answers

I never knew that it was allowed until now. The Debate leaders failed to include Xavier's, Wei Jun's and my names in the CCA name list and never told us their reasons. They just told me today, "You're out.". No wonder they had not informed us of any CCA meetings. Whenever they see us, they just say, "Hi.", treating us as fools.
Perhaps it was because we kept joking constantly and incessantly during Debate meetings such that they were irritated. It could also be because last year in T4W2, when they asked us to go for a meeting, we told them that the examinations had approached too soon and thus it replies that "two weeks are a long time". WJ, Xav and I went on to do well enough and enter the top four classes whereas seventy-five per cent of them were in the Double Science class. They probably grew furious and...
In my opinion, skipping meetings does not warrant a permanent suspension from our CCAs. In fact, the student leaders do not have any right to kick us out of Debate without mutual agreement. They never told us that we were out. This shows how cunning and sly the Debate leaders are. They took advantage of Mr Johnson's not knowing that we had been inside last year (and are still inside) to exclude us from the name list. I am thoroughly infuriated and disgusted at their manipulation and will never want to see Marcus Sim, Brian Lim and Brian Chow again.
