---> delete + block + remove

Cool, that was some weird random encounter... I don't know i just felt like talking back today, maybe im just bored... But that bitch! Lolx. Well maybe its real, maybe its fake.

But my manly intuition tells me that 0.01% i'll see a real chio bu behind... and 40% a gay fag and 59.9% i'll see a full grown monster crawling out of my screen.

FYI i only webcam with ppl i know, and u rank 6 million or more ppl behind! Wooz!
Maybe its just a pretty hacker trying to steal my personal info... Anyways get a life bitch!

Well personally i feel of this 3 are equally well taken but this also stresses the importance of individual photographers point of view and his/her interpretation of the theme. As always there are more than 1 way to view a subject~

The Extras

The deadly Dead Pixel

Soooo... after snapping the photo of the T-rex with my handy dandy phone, i realised something... the emergence of the.... Deadly Dead Pixel (DDP). Although its the 1st time i have experienced the DDP syndrome, i have heard much of its destructibility.

15 mins the DDP multiplied to 3DDP drawing a very short line... by the next hour the line was halfway across the screen... and the next... it stretched across the whole screen.

Well... not very surprising. The way i treat my phone and the situations i had put it through... it was surprising that it lived this long. 1 line of DDP won't bring down my handy dandy phone, its tough and it NEVER SAYS DIE!

*Must be the curse of the T-rex or maybe my phone was scared of it too...*

Behold the mighty T-Rex

Lo and Behold! The king of the Dinosaurs the T-rex! Scarer of all children. Ah that brings back memories. I still remember roughly 18 years ago, the dino exhibits were on at the science centre. And right at the centre of the atrium stood an older T-rex not unlike this one.

Years back i was helpless against the terror that stuck me, and was soon bawling and cowering in fear of its fearsome teeth and razor sharp eyes.

Of course, many of us do eventually outgrow our fear of extinct species, strangely this recent encounter not only brought back the nostalgic feeling in me, but also that little fear that still lodges somewhere. So while taking in its majesty, awesome size and respecting its ancient history, i am admittedly still a little afraid of this replica. Lo and Behold!

Well another fear that has found a place in me... is the fear of sharks... influenced by the very successful JAWS movie back in the 1990s. I still remember building a fortress using sofa cushions during the show and having recurring nightmares in the night. And was constantly imagining that the floor would turn into an ocean and the shark would be waiting to chomp me. While that doesn't apply any more, they are still out there... in the seas, where they wait. So while i fear the sharks (or sea creatures larger than me) they have to be protected and respected.

That being said, please don't let your children watch scary shows during childhood. It leaves a deep impression!

Meanwhile...

Alright, so most people know that i am literally slacking my life away before my school starts (next week). While i am slightly excited at the prospect of starting a new phrase, i am more so terrified especially with regards to Maths... damn...
Well during my oh so free period, i have taken the time to practice the arts of making... ice cream! n a few other things... so for those who want to make a creamy rich n oh so SEDAP ice cream i present...

Easy Mango Icecream :
Equipment you will need
1 Blender
Ingredients
1.) Mango Pulp 1 can (Mango Puree Unsweetened)
2.) Condensed Milk (1/2 - 3/4 can)
3.) Cool Whip Cream (1 Litre) or any other cold whipping cream
4.) Freshly cut mango cubes (1 cup) or desired

Instructions:
Blend 1, 2, 3 in blender until smooth like a milkshake, then pour into bowl and stir in 4. Freeze the mixture and well.. enjoy!

Things to note:
1.) The canned mango pulp is not found in SG Ntuc, instead you can pick up Unsweetened mango puree from "Red Man" (Its about 375g) or any other similar connoctions... well you can even puree your own mango.
2.) Make sure you adjust the sweetness... 1 can of condense milk is too much. Taste the "milkshake" before freezing.
3.) While there are Zons n Zons of other ice cream recipes i think this is the easiest... please feel free to try n experiment with others... for me? too lazy.

Please note that the recipe is not mine and belongs to "ruhi22"

Quotes

"If you believe in prayers, pray that people have the strength to change" & "When u pray, move your feet"
Both quotes are taken from the film "An Inconvenient Truth", while the film uses the quotes at the credits i believe that these quotes really do have a deeper meaning to it. And no, the quote does not make me a Christian. So some food for thought.

Life in a nutshell

Welcome to yet another 1 time return of the writer (writer's strike just ended). Or one could say that i basically have too much free time on my hands. So here, i present my life in a nut shell... (Can u spot me?)

Life in kindergarden was fun! Except the one embarrassing incident where i **** in my pants~ 10 points awarded for guessing which one i am

Class photo at Ang Mo Kio Methodist Chruch
where i was 1st exposed to Christianity

Then came the longest period of your life in a single school.

The Old Mayflower Primary School. Probably the biggest primary school during that time. It has 2 separate school buildings, 1 super big field, 2 basket ball courts, 2 canteens, 2 halls, 2 teachers room and zons of class rooms.
It is also probably the time that i knew all the students in my level, hey 6 years is alot of time to get to know each other. And of course the dreaded dentist of most but whom i loved (dentist = skip class!)
The place where
- Hop scotch, zero point and pepsi cola was learnt and that winning would earn you a prestigious place among peers
- Bi Xian (similar to oujar board) but with pencils rather than plates were the IN thing, queenie was the guardian n involved a password to evoke them, the pencil would have to be broken to prevent them from following u back.
- I made my 2 best friends; my neighbor was my classmate and my crush.
- Noodles cost 50c a bowl and 40 c for a cup of drink. (Wang wang cost 20c)
- I had to do penmanship every recess due to my atrocious handwriting
- I 1st (and only time up till date) got slapped by a girl
- I 1st stepped into the girls toilet (n happened to see something that opened my eyes)
- Our teachers pulled our ears, threw our books into fish ponds and loved to buah our faces after cleaning the white board with their hands.
- I told my biggest lie in front of my chinese teacher and was threatened that my parents would be called. (Also the 1st time i knew the feeling of "impending doom")
- I saw the most beautiful rainbow
- I sneaked into school compound on weekends to play basketball.
- I took part in chinese cultural dance, was a librarian, science club member, monitor and prefect (for a short while).
- Everyone came at 6 to copy assignments for the day. We were unified and collaborated perfectly, we even helped each other copy at times.
- We took our PSLE (primary six leaving examinations) and separated.


And with that came my life at Mayflower Secondary (can you believe it is not affiliated?) Many of my primary school friends also came to the same school.

Definitely smaller than my Pri School. My 1st 2 years in there was a waste of my life, only knew how to had fun, fun and more fun. Joined the NCC (Land) as a chao recruit (i was so certain that i would sign on as a army regular) and probably the phase in my life where i had devoted everything i had to individual lifestyles during the different times.
Sec 1 - Training my physical (100 push up every wkend), Fun n relationship
Sec 2 - NCC trainings, Fun n relationship (later on studies)
Sec 3 - NCC n studies
Sec 4 - NCC n studies



So you can see, i was pretty havoc during my early years, didn't care about studying, things that matter were training, fun, organising chalets n chasing a girl i was totally smitten with. I only started to wake up when the streaming kicked in and managed to top my class at the end. I took a step back in Sec 3 and focused more on studies (hey peer influence) matured and realised many things that i hadn't. I was also a peer mediator, whom never mediated once... N my Ncc incharge was a fatso who can't do physical. Hey my PE teacher is a Fifa ref! Another case where everyone knew everyone else. Was vice chair during sec 3 and also realised that army was a load of rubbish (the stuff not the camaraderie) and a clever propaganda of the government.

*** Update***

What comes after Sec Sch? Hell i had no idea what i wanted to do... So why not test out JC (Junior college) life? And so welcome to the 1st 3mths of JC where all was fun and little was studies.

Well that above is my class during my 1st 3mths of JC. Needless to say, many from my Sec sch also joined up :p well its the nearest JC in our area. And yes... there are only 12 people in my class, well blame it on the weird combination that i took up. --->
2AOs -> Chinese and GP
3As -> Computing Science, Physics and Econs

Well i guess those were the things that caught my fancy, chem n f maths were a No-nO. Speaking of which half of the class had different subject combinations so most of the time we were really floating around, of course we skipped some of the lessons too... (most actually).

For those unenlightened, the 1st 3mths of the JC were used by most of the students to fool around, test out part of the stuff that they wanted n to goof around. Of course there were also the other extremes. JC wasn't really my cup of tea and so here i was --->
