Production Night

Production. Was. Awesome.
Dinner. Was. Entertaining.
I. Love. My. Year. 11. Friends.

Sleep. Now.
Blog. Tomorrow.


Edit: 31st August, Friday, 5:15pm
Yes, production night. Great fun.

Before the production, my year 11 friends graciously invited me to dinner at Grand Tofu. We were suppose to be there at 6:30, but caca and sassy decided to gamble with the buses, and ended up stranded on high street road. I was almost to the restaurant, when they called me, so we made a big U-turn and picked them up. Before we could get there, Sassy made a mistake of waving manically to a stranger, thinking it was my car. It was clear that these two were dangerous not-completely-sane people.

When we got there, meeting up with Luke (Not Skywalker, to my disappointment, but another year 11, musical genius), sassy and ca revealed their secret masterpeice they had been working on since end of school; cake! Big, delicious, chocolate and strawberry, cream cake. Of course, without baking paper that big delicious cake had to be..encouraged to come out of the baking tin. But it tasted great anyhow, so good job to their first bake-a-cake-together XD

Little Shop of Horrors
This year's school production. For a school production, I was very impressed. The performers were great. The dentist guy especially was my personal favorite. I was going to scan the 'program' but ca still has it in her bag..forgot to ask her for it today. Ah well.
Basically, it was about a povish florist that found a strange plant, that only grew when it was fed blood. Because of its unique profile, the florist became famous and rich, but hid the fact that he was feeding it his own blood. Through the fame, he fell in love with a girl. As the plant got bigger, it demanded more and more blood, and eventually the florist had to kill someone. From there, the guy was torn between the terrible things he did, and the girl he loved.

Spoiler (Hightlight)

In the end, the girl gets killed the plant, convincing the guy to kill the plant. Bullets and poison don't work, so he tries to hack it from within, and dies trying. The end.

So the moral of the story was "not to feed the plant", in other words, don't do terrible things to get fame and fortune. The girl actually liked him before the plant came, so yeah, love comes naturally too.

The prop for the plant was awesome too. They had like..4 stages I think? One was a small potplant, where a hand controlled the movement. The next was a slightly bigger one. Then the next one was like huge! I think the person controlling it was inside it fully, cause he moved it really well with the singing. Then the last flower, took up half the stage LOL. It was great. And they stuffed people down it and yeah. It was cool. If they sell it on ebay, I'll bid for it XD

There were quite a few people I knew there seeing it. Kriselle joined us when we got there, as well as Hillary and her sister Samantha. Kelvin Liu, Dan the Nad, Ringerburger, Lillian and her friends, and Warren the black man were all there too. Warren and his tall and boofy hair friends sat in front of us, making me and ca going back and forth, trying to find a gap to watch >.< But it was okay in the end. (It was all sassy's fault for wanting to be on ground level! Haha j/k)

Anyway, yeah it was definitely a highlight of my year. I love my year 11 friends, they're so cool. I'll dedicate a post to them one day.

p.s gotta change my crappy banner changed to teohsulfate banner.

Awww miss me much?

Teoh i'm still alive, u saw me today hehe. Nah nah and i've been really slack in accounting as of late.. which is bad since i'm already soo hopeless at it! haha rofl. Anywayss besides that i didn't know afterschool! like seriously i was really.. umm.. well.. um.... haha i was with a certian someone soo yehh, but if i had known u know, i would of hanged with u =).

Anywayss i guess i can't use the excuse that my life is boring and nothing is going on thats why i don't blog.. .lol ahahha ... if u get me? heh. OKokok lets string together a few words to blog about something... hmmm...

*brain strain* ouch my head.. i can't blog no more... x.x

okok, til next time,
timmy.

may re-edit later tonight

EDIT://
okok soo heres my re-edit. I don't really know what i want to blog again.. ahha, i'm losing my blogging touch ey? (haahha last year i was blogging 24/7 lol haha)

Anyways let me write my thoughts about something.. Hmmm topic topic... okok i got one. Lets look at this example. Okay so isn't it weird well not weird but like u get what i mean.. ahha i hope... okok like if u have a friend right but ur friends friend isn't really your friend?? hahah am i even making sense? probably not but if ur really bored u will keep reading this heheh. Yeh anyways afterschool one day i was like with some f riends and then i saw my other friend and like she was with her other friend that isn't really close or anything to us, actually honestly she's not very nice to us but anyways thats besides the point. So we were going to have lunch and yeh i was like "oh hey do u guys want to join us?" and yehh i just got this feeling that ... actually i don't even know whats the point i was getting at .. ahhaha

okok new start.
Soo yeh as the year is like kinda closing i thought i'd just write a blog entry thinking back thoughout my glenny high school years ahha. Well actually lets talk about theLoooP hehe. aka, Mr.Teoh, Mr.Ling and me heh. Year seven was a weird year i really don't know what was going on i just know when i got to school i didn't know anyone, well hardly anyone because i came from a primary school that is meant to follow on and attend mount waverley secondary but insted i came to glenny (which by the way was the best thing ever). Anyways.... I at the start i became friends with wilile, jason and danny and yeh for a while it was just us 4 in a group and yeh i really didn't know david back then very well and yeh.. haha funny thing is back in those days david and i weren't really.. ermm.. the 'best' of pals haha we kinda like yeah i don't really know what happen, i think we thought we were both super anoying lol hahaha it was weird. Anywaysss jr. school was pretty much like that, groups formed bigger and bigger and bigger and yeh umm it was a time where it was really easy to like drift in and out of the group because it was already so large.. if u get me? Anywayss I remember this time in year 8 i think, Jason like got really angry at me and like kicked me in the shin and i was like 'oowww ow ow ow pain pain pain pain' and then i kicked him back and then he was like 'pain pain pain pain' and it was a really weird, all such a blur now but it was painful! thats what i remember ahhaha, (i must of been such a little **** back then ROFL) llalalalalla anyways.. thats all i can remember in jr. school. Middle school was a bit different i think like it was only until middle school that me and david started becoming not so anoying anymore lol? and yeh i suppose we become closer then and yeh it's been good ever since. Jasons always been the same old same old, besides that year 8 fightish thing i don't think we've been pissed off at each other ever since.. and then yehh now that we're in senior school all is good. LOL ahha, does this massive paragraph even make any sense? lol i can't be stuffed re-reading this but i hope it does lol. Seriously it's been awesome knowing these guys (David and Jason) i mean yehh i'm sure we'll keep in touch in life after school hahaha i can always count on David hosting a Christmas party every year at lease hehe =) hopefully i'm always on the invite list hahaha!.

anyways that was my blog.. which was kinda messy and yehh
til next time,
timmy.

Who ate all the timtamz?

Where'd the timtamz go!?
Nobody knows. Apparently he's just too busy to blog. Doing what? Studying accounting no doubt. Or perhaps he's doing something else on msn too much.

Anyway, today I got really annoyed at something that happened with some friends of mine. Don't you hate it when you work really hard on something, for so long, and then someone just uses for their own benefit without helping you at all? I specifically told this person I could help them with their own, but I didn't want to give him/her mine, cause me and a friend had worked so hard on it. What happens? S/he goes off and asks one of my other friends, who wasn't able to contribute but was in our group, for it. And that person gave it. GAH. @#%&!. /endrant.

Just something I did in my spare time today after school, since I was DITCHED by Tim (it's okay though Tim, I understand why ;D). Pretty cool, all done with just brushes and gradient. I dunno what the random Let go is for though XD



jedi teoh,

P.S New layout coming soon, we're just working out all the tweaks and stuff. This time, Jason did most of the work =O
P.P.S woot I resized my picture with my n00b HTML skills =D Blogger was too slow at upload XD

Of two states

I caught myself humming the chorus of white flag by dido at work to myself. Didn't even realise I was, and for who knows how long. I don't even recall hearing the song recently, and how I can remember the lyrics, I have no idea. Does it mean anything? ._.
Maybe there's another jason in my head who's omniscient, or is just (much) more aware, and he tries to get through sometimes...
Maybe.

Anyway, there's a 3 hr spec SAC on wednesday (没问题!), so I think i'll study for the next two nights, and reward myself with 'thank god you're here' on wednesday.
'Till then...

PS: SHORTER! :3

shifty thefts

just a short post today.

Today at school, numerous amount of reports of theft reached my ears. First Catherine's phone went missing from her locker, but from what I could see the lock was intact, so I dismissed it as simply a misplace accident. Then my friend Lillian lost her phone AND her wallet, and while she was reporting it in the office, another girl came in to report HER locker had also been broken into. Lillian's lock had been cut through cleanly at the joint of the U shape to the round dial too.

I for one, could not imagine how angry and frustrated I would be if I lost my phone, twice-so for my wallet. I have many important things in my wallet, many of them hard to replace. My phone I think I could handle, since it's not particularly any good. It would just be a major inconvenience to me to get everyone's number again and such.

It also made me realise that there are some really dishonest people out there in our school. The fact that it's around our locker bays implies that it's a senior student...although now that I think about it, it would be easier for a junior to do it, cause while we're all in class, they could come into our locker bays without been caught looking sus.

I hope my friends get their stuff back =[

jedi teoh,

p.s I decided I don't like the firebrick colour anymore.

Ode to Sanity(?)

With the grain, they run
step by step, I can
but take heed.

Whom
do they seek the attention of?

For along the way,
there are but dirty rags,
hung out to dry.
The befouled zephyr
applying layers anew.

They are
sodden with angst,
drenched in worry.

Pay no attention!
Paths
will be etched for eternity.
And when R. arrives,
may he be recollection alone.

So tread carefully,
lest we forget the senseless and vapid, and the mentalities that they betroth.

selling a wii!

A few weeks ago, my brother went to his work Trivia night, much to his reluctance. In the end, he won a Myers $20 voucher at the door, and paid $2 to play the pick a corner, each corner representing a suite from the deck of cards, and whichever suite is pulled out, that corner is out. And he won on that $2 and won a Wii pack. Brand new Wii package, including Wii Sports, one remote and the Wii (sensor bar, connecting wires etc.). Also won was a Wii Play game pack, which includes a extra remote.

Now, in case you don't know, I already bought a Wii for myself for Christmas last year. So my brother was going to sell it to one of his friends, but they pulled out last minute I think. So I'm seeing if anyone out there that reads this, or anyone that they know, wants a Wii package. We're also throwing in one of our own Wii games, Wario Ware, for we don't play it much compared to other games we've got.

Retail Price:
Wii pack, $399 (OR $199 if you trade in a PS2 and 10 games LOL)
Wii play + remote, $80
Warioware, $60

We're looking for the whole package for around 380, negotiable. Let it be known I am willing to take off 50 or so if they bribe me with Star Wars books that I do not have (good luck finding them).

Any takers, let me know somehow. Or I could send a email to the whole school LOL. Via my email is good. It's in my profile =]

jedi teoh,

Tennis Ranting

Ookok if u know me, you would know me as a tennis nut and i love tennnisss seriously the best sport ever! ahahah. And yeh this blog post is just going to be ranting about tennis =).

I just want to talk about tennis a bit.. hehe.. well a lot of people have asked me how do you actually play tennis and have fun at the same time ahahha. Well.. lets face it, it's not a sport like soccer where u can just gather a bunch of friends and kick a ball around and still have fun. Tennis is a sport that.. hmm.. u actually need to know the basics and the technique to play and then yehhh over time it gets fun to develop your skills and stuff.

groundies =)
okok to have good forehands and backhands you need to beable to use everybit of your body!! i can't stress this enough, on tv or when u see people play, it looks like their just useing their arms and recklessly smacking it as hard as they can. WRONG! listen to me.

footwork is essential, u need to get into position, which means taking lots and lots of adjustment steps. So yeh u should always be on your toes ready and jumping around.

When hitting a goundie you want to be 90 degrees from the net soo this means facing either the left or the right of the tennis tram lines front on. This is called a close stance.... however players can play open, which means they meet the ball facing fully frontal towards the net... though u shouldn't really play like that if ur starting out.

Use your legs, seriously generates a lot of power from the lower body and you want to make sure you have the correct tennis grip too. I personally use the semi western grip, this allows me to hit powerful flat drive and also heavy topspin pretty easily. However there are other grips too like the eastern grip (hard to hit with topspin but easy to hit flat) or the western grip (hard to hit flat but easy to hit topspin). Anywayss too complicated to go into grips hehehe.

Sweet contact! seriously look at the ball, watch it meet. u need to meet the ball early infront of you and have a steady low to high swing.

torso rotation is critical! along with shoulder rotation!!! this will give you soo much more added power!! let the racquet swing finish across your chest and over your other shoulder, don't stop swinging until half way!!

Finally move into the court, put all your weight leaning into the court and when u stike the ball, strike it like you mean it! make a choice where u want to hit it and if u decide to hit a winner, 100% believe in yourself that your going to hit a winner!

hehe thanks is all =)
Ohh here i a vid of one of my favs, hantuchova. She went on to win the title =)

Hantuchova stikes the ball soo cleanly! she has flawless technique!!

timmy.

So beautiful ;_;

Abnormal Tuesday

It is a rare tuesday night that I get to spend my time freely. It's usually a long day from period 1 to 8, then band practise and then usually plugging away for a SAC on the usual wednesday (though I have less than everyone else thanks to literature). But today is different! Parent interviews tomorrow, and although I must attend a few, I at least get the benefit of:

1. Sleeping in.
2. Eating proper food. *chompchomp*
3. Free"Study" Time =D
4. Get two days extra to do chem SAC
5. Stay up late the night before


You know, I always say the sentence: "Oh I'll blog about it," during the week, but when the time comes, I can't remember it >.< Wish I could like, open up notepad in the middle of nowhere and save it on my harddrive in my brain.

I've come to realise that much in my life is good. Listing the things that are bothering me, I can easily cross them out with good reasons. Some are not worth worrying about. Others are wants that I can do without. And there are things that I just have to deal with.
I have a good solid group of friends that bring happiness to me at school. I have a few close best friends that I know I can count on for laughter, confidence, trust and all that mushy stuff. I have a family. I have a loving dog which I love above most all living things on this planet. It doesn't take much more to fill my life perfectly, and those things will come in time (I hope anyway).

Haha, Kelvin's blog reminded me of the much fun and much dangerous chemistry 'prac' we had yesterday. We were mucking around with matches and Li putting test tubes into unknown liquids to cool it down hahaha. Nam flicked a match, and didn't know where it went, so he's like looking around for it. At the same time, I'm looking at the flame burning into his hand HAHA. And all I can say is that I'm not trying Kelvin's "lick your fingers and put out the fire" trick. Read Kelvin's blog for the full story I guess =] (Oh my left arm almost got killed by Nam's match flicking too)

I don't want to blog too much, but as a reminder to me: blog about band and speed of light theory by elisa and vacuum puzzle thought next.

jedi teOh,

p.s this is firebrick color. I like it =] It shall be my default color now.

Opposites.


It's a standoff. Seems like we're all waiting for one another to post. I'll move it along with a small post.

I just got back from work (Baker's Delight, if you wanted to know). My feet hurt. But anyway. The baker there, Juls (Julian) was talking rubbish as usual. I think the bakers are all a species of their own, but they're usually pretty fun to work with. Anyway, Juls was talking about opposites.

"So what's the opposite of life?" he goes.
"Um, death?" I answer.
"No stupid, that's the opposite of birth!"
"Um..."
"There is no opposite of life!"
"Sure there is. The opposite to life..is no life?"

Yeah, there's your genius answer right there. Anyone got a better one?

My good friend sassy went to forest hill formal, the forries as she calls 'em. She's look really beautiful, so I thought I'd put up a picture here.

(The one on the right)

She was the talk of the school apparently haha, so popular. Her partner was envied the whole night I would imagine (despite "OTHER girls being there with BIG JUGS" ROFL SASSY) XD Gw sassy girl.

Eminence: Destiny Reunion

Oh it was awesome.

Eminence Orchestra is a group of people who play orchestral music to more modern themes, such as Anime and Video Games. It's really my type of music =] Anyway, Destiny Reunion was a quintet performance, meaning a group of five instruments. In this case, it was composed of 2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello and a grand piano. Sometimes, some of them would go off stage for trios and duos, but most of the time it was the five of them playing together.

It was a great performance. They performed many of my favorites including Joe Hiashi's Princess Mononoke, Laputa and Totoro, Chrono Cross was especially fantastic with the cello and main violin. The great thing about music is that everytime you hear it played by different groups or people, they're always arranged slightly differently. They also played a Mario arrangement, which had Yoshi Island (couldn't really recognize any others). The great thing was that the piano player improv'd some sound effects like gold collecting and powering up. I've seen it done often now, but it's a nice touch.

I fell in love with the cello player, Minah Choe ♥. Haha, okay not really, but she was really uber cute and I liked her dress x] Marco will tell you how I wouldn't shut up for awhile about her LOL. I wish I had brought a camera to take a picture of her (and the rest). I wanted to tell her she was pretty when I went up for autographs at the end, but I chickened out in the end. Cello is actually a really nice instrument, I wouldn't mind learning it.

Anyhow, along with the concert, I picked up a DVD of their 'Night In Fantasia 2005', which was only 25 bucks; It included an audio CD too. I also picked up a poster and got it signed, as mentioned before; this is becoming a tradition in my going to these concerts haha. Oh yeah, we met Jasmine there too, with her church friends. She's so hyper, as Marco puts it, it's funny. "Danny, Daniel, David!" I'm trying to use names so I can fight back. "Jenny, Jess, Jasmine!"

Oh yeah, just before I go to bed cause I got work tomorrow, Marco nearly got killed on this trip =[ We accidentally took the wrong exit from Flinder's Station, so we had to walk up to Fed Square. Marco accidentally bumped into a man while trying to read a sign, and the man FULLY pushed Marco back. I was surprised Marco didn't fall, it looked HARSH. The city is such a dangerous place >.> I hate going to the city. We just walked away quickly, cause I'm pretty sure we would've been smashed to pulp. Sorry Marco, I couldn't protect you =[

Anyway, I might write more later. I haven't watched the DVD yet, so that'll be exciting. Good night all,

teOh, (sassy, tell me what to change my name to =p)

P.S We've all updated our profiles a little bit, so check them out.

noob double-poster

Got 2 photos from the snowtrip last sat (4/8).

Near the end of the day 'warming' up outside a cafe-ish place near the buses. There was some weird Blinky Bill snow mascot outside too, cept it was blinky bill with the body of a human wearing snow gear... you can see part of it in the shot.






Getting owned by Nincao. He's five.


.

been on my mind for 3 years

Back in yr9, some of our teachers had organised a class debate to do with our ecological footprints and something happened that day that I remember very clearly. And ever since then, it has passed through as a train of thought every now and then.
 
Heres how it goes: Elle mentioned living in the wild and drinking from fountains and eating berries or something, because it helped the environment by not polluting and saving resources and all that, and by living that way we basically had all we needed. Right? Right. And then somebody brought up the topic: NEEDS vs WANTS.


1. If you only want it and you don't really NEED it, then forget it, it's increasing our ecological footprint as we speak, purge yourselves immediately of the idea. So just forgo your petty "want".


It hit a strange note in my mind. If you can imagine suddenly experiencing an epiphany -ping!- back straightens, chin goes up, and I take a look at who it was that proposed the relation between needs and wants.

I didnt speak up at the time, cause 1. it didnt seem all that relevant, and 2. im sure they put a lot of thought into making their point, not nice to shoot them down (unless its a teacher bwahaha, jon)
but anyway, I realised that the relationship between needs and wants that they explained was all wrong. Need sprung from the loins of Want.

Recall that old Network Ten motto:
"Want entertainment? ...Need Ten"
"Want drama? ...need Ten" and so on

It's put simply enough by that. If you want something, then a need will arise to fulfill that desire.
But it's just that everybody assumes that everybody wants to live, so needs have become implicative of the things that you need to live.

But if you just wanted to eat something, then there would be a need to open that snickers bar (really satisfies). Or if you wanted that -cough- ENTER score, you 
would need to study hard. Right?


EDIT: tacking on this MV cause its awesome

pokemon random stuff

Okayy okay, so like as the looop we get up to a lot of random funny things during the day, yup. And yeh it's really stupid and really random and even trying to blog about it, won't even make any sense i don't think, but i shall try. In accounting, Jason and i was just talking and then all of a sudden the topic of pokemon came up. I mean what the?! lol ahha, and it was really random because we were thinking... hmm, u know how they have to weaken the pokemon before they can capture it. well anyways... i was just telling ling, why don't they just throw the pokeball really really hard, as if throwing a rock at the pokemon, shouldn't that be sufficent enough damage to weaken it? And i don't just mean throwing it really hard anywhere, i mean get them where it counts ;) haha if u get me? hehe. Anyways, that was just one random thought lol. HAhahah, moving on.... it then continued like this. I was then saying, or why don't u attach a knife to the pokeball and so when u throw it, u will stab the pokemon and injure it even more!! hhahahaha *insert evil laugh*.. lol. And yehh jason was saying it was cruel and stuff and rah rah rah, but then don't u think u would be doing them a favour? i mean like... in the wild u would think pokemon would have to kill each other savagely! i mean bite, slash! wing attack! fire blast for goodness sakes!! soo like... one moment of intense pain for a lifetime of protection with a trainer seems like a decent deal yeh? Also just go to the pokecentre and all if fixed lol. ... oh course unless the pokemon resents u so much, that until u train it to evolve and become stronger 10x it will then turn on u and then then u might suffer greater from such a attack such as hron drill.. =/ yikes. Anywayssss, that is all lol ahahha... pretty silly yeh? if u got all that comment me!!!!!

take care,
timmy.

p.s. btw, teoh, ling i fixed the comment system as requested so it doesn't scroll forever and i'll add another bar later tonightt or whenever lol haha.

random doodads

Distracting myself from my failing of VCE = wasting time on computer.

The above is the true art of sassy. Her newly created comic/blog/website can be found under our links, Sassy. In which case, for the record, I am teh no.1 fan of, as well as current first-commenter (it's a hard job). Note the inspiration for this comic XD
Btw, I should get paid for this advertisement. Thus I shall move it into my revenue account!
DR Prepaid Advertisement Revenue. $2.05
CR Advertisement Revenue. $2.05

Anyway..enough accounting. I didn't really pay attention today, so if that's wrong, shoot jason.

Eminence this saturday! Something to look forward to at least. Should be good, though I have a feeling it won't be as great as the last concert, seeing as it's in a smaller place (I think, not quite sure). It's in BMW Edge, near Fed Square. Anyone know it? Comment if you do.

Sassy claims to have a dissolving effect when you go into comments, then back into the main page. If anyone can confirm this or that she is merely...um special, please comment.

On a final note, if anyone knows any nice piano music please comment me the link or something. I think I've overplayed final fantasy songs = ="

Just comment, will you?

teOh. (tim, don't forget to try and fix the signature of postings)

true warrior,

there was once a boy who wanted to be a warrior.
one day, he came across a beautiful glade of green,
a sword with its blade struck in the center of the ground.
when the boy pulled it up, he saw it was no ordinary sword but a magical sword.
blazing silver blade, with a ever-green hilt and a rose blooming from the hilt,
the boy took the sword and brought it back home.

with this sword and its power, the boy soon became a master.
he trained everyday with the sword and was renown for his skill.
one day, an invading army came to enslave his family and friends.
with the sword in his hand, the boy cut down the slavers
each with a single stroke of the blade.
he loved using his seemingly invincible sword,
and left none alive.

but as he cut away each of the slavers life, he noticed something strange.
the blade became dull, the hilt seem to weaken and the rose begun to wilt.
'Why' he thought. 'Why does the magic become weaker when it is used'
not wanting to lose his special sword, the boy refused to use the sword any longer.

but then the slavers returned, and even still the boy refused to use his sword.
'I do not want to lose my magic,' he said. he tried to bargain with them,
to make them leave them in peace.
but then one of the slavers threatened to kill his family, and the boy reluctantly picked up his sword.
the boy took the slaver's life, but stopped as the rest of the slavers ran away.

in this way, the boy learned to only use the sword to fight
only when there was no other option left.
the magic's strength continued for many years,
in this way, the boy became a true warrior.

teOh,

.

here we go.

ok, so i got this theory see:
or more of a principle maybe, anyway whatever it is, i came up with this idea as i was falling asleep a week ago or so and it stuck pretty well and here it is:

The Jason(?) Principle:
As the "understanding of the mechanics of your mentality and the way society and your peers think and operate" approaches infinity →∞ (increases),
the range of emotions one will experience will approach zero →0 (decrease but of course it won't reach negative, guys).

[so if you just read that (and understood it haha), you got closer to zero emotion and closer to infinite understanding. so you can keep reading if you dont mind or want to know what the hell i am on about]

so basically, the more you can understand how you/others think, and why you/others think, and why that is why you/others think and why that is why that is why you/others think, and so on... the less options you'll have concerning emotions.

eg.1: if you can understand why that guy is being a dumbass for doing something stupid, then you will not feel so much resent or loathing towards him. hence, resent/loathing has been nullified and you can forgive him for being an idiot cause he had good reason (whatever that reason you figured out to be).

eg.2: if you know why it is you are happy, and completely analyse the reasoning for being happy
(woohoo! new job -> shit i better work hard or they'll fire me -> shit im gonna have to work hard -> oh man i cant be bothered -> wish i was retired -> wish my job was just converting O2 to CO2 -> man im a lazy bugger -> everybody else has to work, so i better just put up with it) and tada, happiness is gone as well for mr.pessimist.

eg.2b:if you know why you're happy, and this time if you're not a pessimist
(woohoo! new job -> $_$ -> okay now what -> here kids, have some money -> woohoo?)
okay it doesnt work so well if you're not a pessimist, so sue me
but it works okay-ish
besides, even pythagoras' theorem only works for RIGHT-ANGLED triangles :3

okay that'll do.
dont think about this too much, or you might prove the theory.

feelings - tim.

It's funny how time seems to get quicker as we grow up. Don't u remember back in the days of primary school where it felt like forever for just 1 year to pass? I do, heh. But now in our final year of high school and only about 3 months left, it's quite scary!! It's a weird feeling though, because part of myself wishes that time would just slow down a bit and let my high school days linger forever haha. But then the other part of me, wishes to get it over and done with as soon as possible. I think when u think about it... it comes down to, well .. one word that came to me was fear. I suppose i'm scared of a lot of thing. I'm scared of missing and losing a lot of awesome friends i've made throughout my six years of glenny... i'm going to miss just bumping into random peoples and familiar faces around in school, haha and yeh i think i will even miss the crappy lockerbays, heh. So i guess thats the reason why i want time to slow down a bit.

Hah, but then i'm also sacred of exams and results of the VCE!! This is the reason why i want to get 2007 over and done with hehe. I feel like for the first time in a long time, i'm totally on my own and it's all up to me (haha except god, he's the man! always with me and i love him!). I mean.. VCE is a funny thing, u know. It's really hard, and really demanding and even at this point of time, just over the middle of my VCE, i still don't think i understand fully what i've goten myself into. Lately i've been, well i've been sick but even before that, i feel like i should be doing more, if u get me? I mean, sure in my head and in every class i'm like really focused to learn, and sure like i finish my homework (thats questionable) but like, when i do finish a lot of stuff, i feel like it's not enough? argh i have no idea if this is making any sense, hehe.

I guess the reason why i'm thinking about all this stuff is that, tomorrow we get our midyear exam results back, and i am really scared and worried and it's a feeling i can't even write down, and i know.. like you know God has a purpose and plan for me, and he knows... and all, and i really do take comfort in that, and i've been praying really hard especially to give myself some strengh and courage to recieve my result marks. I'm just .. like, sometimes it's like "AHA whoa.. this is it." And then imagine me at the end of the year, oh my goodness i don't even want to handle that!!

I'm not a very smart person, seriously. I mean there are people out there that are super super smart and, at best i'm average. And i know how people always go "oh no your so smart" and it's nice to hear things like that, but u just remember like the truth though. Because honestly i don't think anything naturally comes to me, the subjects that i'm good at.. well my better subjects like english, biology and psychology, i actually had to work really hard to understand it, and i did so well this year in biology and psychology, but i feel like.. when the exam came, i crashed and burnt... and it's really sad, no seriously. Which makes it worst for me, for my subjects like maths and accounting, i'm just soo not good at stuff like that, and i think thats why i feel like i'm not doing enough, because if i had to work 2 hours to grasp a biology concept from memory, or a psychology study off the top of my head, and i'm spending like the same time into accounting, and it's not kinda working.. i should be spending more hours into that... but then i feel like i've got no time for my other subjects and my good subjects will then slowly become quite average. And thats what happend for my english oral sac this year, i didn't put time into it, well enough time because i was trying to do accounting and it showed, and it was quite detriment to my english average.

heh, anyways that must be so depressing to read haha! So i'll finish off on a happy note.

Thoughout my whole life, my family have always been there for me unconditionally. I mean, i know, when people see me they like always say i'm spoit and like, lucky in a way? And i am! really i am. My mum and dad and brother are so nice to me, and i'm sooo thankful for that, because even though we fight a lot when it comes down to something imporant, we're always there for each other. I really have a lot of respect for my parents, because i know my brother and myself weren't easy to rise lol. I think i finally learnt, took me long enough... haha, that mum and dad are always right, no matter how wrong they seem. They have this amazing ability to see into the future and look at the bigger picture, and when something seems unfair or not right now, you probably can't see it, but i'm sure they can. Even ur older brother or sister! my brother is always anoying me soo badly! but then he's always doing heaps for me and giving me advice from his own experiences, and i know a lot of times i just can't be bothered listening to him but, come on he's my older brother and he just wants to look out for me. I just think family is really important, they know you better then anyone else and i guess i'm just trying to say, it's alright to depend on them. We all want to be indepedant and all and it's great, but just don't become too independent. logging off,
timmy.

does the title show up?

 late first post, guys, 对不起
had to get up at 4am to go to the snow, and im still pretty dead so this'll be short too

STATEMENT OF INTENTION, GUYS:
In this blog, I just want to put to "paper" ideas, theories, thoughts - whatever that will otherwise just end up becoming forgotten/lost after a day or two. 
It will be aimed at an audience that can bear the serious lack of drama in my life , and the dramatic lack of seriousness I choose to allocate to each day. And I don't think my posts will be of the jeremiad nature, but I'll probably slip up one day or another.

i'll try get some stuff of the snow done later, cbb now
拜拜

Presenting the blog of the year!

Wow!

Wow! i'm soo delighted that this blog is up and running. Seriously I've always wanted my friends to make blogs.. ahha and keep them alive and running and I'm glad now that we're making one together. Yehh Jason and David are like two of my closest buddies and yeh we're like the best of pals. I mean we've known each other since we were 11-12! way back in junior school. I mean, we've had ups and downs through our school life but hey it's all history and i'm so glad we've become really close, epeically over the last 2 years =).

Oh yeh it's really late, well not really but I'm soo tired and i'm sick! oh no.. i have a lot tomorrow as well, soo yehh i should get to bed and rest and yehh hopefully I'll be better =). Ohh and yeh incase u guys don't know, haha which would be really really dodgy! haha in the banner that david made, it's us 3 hehe. Me, Jason and Teoh =] (left to right)

take care all,
timmy.

||.first postings

and so the.Looop is created.

it took a while. but i'm pretty happy with the results. it's a bit plain, but tim's done a great job with the coding and the banner i made within an hour will do for now. i'll probably try and expand my photoshop skills and create better images, but as my CCS skills are close to zero it's pretty hard to implement anything onto the blog without tim's help.

anyway, it shall do for now. we'll fill it up as we go. you can leave any opinions about the layout in our c-box, which tim should have up soon. (it's up, and for the record i don't like pink [=)

this seems like a good idea. me and ling don't usually blog that much, but we all know tim's a bit of a blogger-addict...sometimes. XP so tim will keep us alive and pester us no doubt to post. hopefully no arguments will rip this blog apart haha. now, when i come back to read this in a few months time, i wonder what my thoughts will be.

anyway, i'm tired. lots of a things happening tomorrow...orthodontist, eye test, sinwa's dinner and i want to squeeze some studying inbetween them all. good night.

teoh,
