So far...

So far nothing much... 3 tests tomorrow before recess, consecutively, and yeah I'm the one being stressed out. I think the teachers are also stressed, cos they need to rush with the tests. I think they are trying to like, mark and give out the tests as soon as possible, yet they cannot give out cos there will inevitably be classes which haven't taken the test. Srsly, I have nothing to say, since like, no one is really reading the blog....

Transformers: Reveng of the Fallen... sounds cool right?

I went to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen yesterday with Dapeng. It was a great show with an ok-ok storyline... want me to spoil it for you? For those who DO NOT want me to spoil it for you, please skip this paragraph. This part is copied from www.WikiPedia.org Those who want to read pls highlight the few paragraphs below... those who don't... skip this part... and this will be a short blog.

The film opens with a short prologue narrated by the voice of Optimus Prime. It depicts primitive human beings in the year 17,000 BC hunting a tiger, only to be interrupted by the appearance of the Fallen which begins to attack them. In the background, more Transformers can be seen constructing a gigantic device before the scene fades to black.

Two years after the events of the 2007 film, the Autobots have joined forces with the British and American military to form an organization named NEST to combat the Decepticons hiding out on Earth. Optimus Prime leads NEST into Shanghai, China, to eliminate Decepticons Demolishor and Sideways. He is joined by newcomers including Arcee, Sideswipe, Jolt and the twins Skids and Mudflap. Sideswipe kills Sideways with the help of Arcee and the twins, and Optimus and Ironhide kill Demolishor but not before the Decepticon utters that The Fallen will "rise again".

American National Security Advisor Galloway berates the Autobots and NEST for the massive collateral damage they caused in Shanghai, suggesting that the Autobots leave. While Optimus does agree to this if the President of the United States of America commands it, he questions what will happen if the planet is left defenseless. Soundwave, a Decepticon intelligence officer, hacks into a satellite and discovers the location of Megatron's corpse and the location of a piece of the AllSpark. Soundwave deploys his minion Ravage to retrieve the shard, which he succeeds in accomplishing by deploying hundreds of bug-like looking nanobots that group to form a single robot. Deep within the Laurentian Abyss, the Constructicons and a surgeon-robot named Scalpel revive Megatron using the piece of the AllSpark and parts obtained from sacrificing one of their own. Megatron flies to a Decepticon spacecraft on a planet, where he is reunited with air commander Starscream and The Fallen, Megatron's master. The Decepticons are seen growing hatchling Transformers. However, these die immediately at birth due to insufficient energon, "the life blood" of the transformers. The Fallen intends to destroy the Sun and Earth in the process in order to create more energon.

Sam Witwicky prepares to head off to college, intending to live a normal life. Whilst packing, he finds another shard of the AllSpark which fills his mind with ancient Cybertronian text. The AllSpark fragment burns his hand, and through his room's floor into the kitchen, bringing various appliances to life. The resulting robots are then destroyed by Bumblebee, wrecking the Witwicky family's house in the process.

Sam entrusts the shard to his girlfriend Mikaela, who hides it in her father's safe at the motorcycle workshop she works at. Decepticon Wheelie tries to steal it, but is captured by Mikaela, who catches him with some clippers and locks him into a toolbox she later takes with her.

At college, Sam meets his roommate Leo Spitz, who runs an alien conspiracy website, and a girl named Alice who makes disturbing advances on Sam. Sam begins to constantly get outbreaks of seeing Cybertronian text in his mind, and having the urge to write them on everything. After one of such episodes in his astronomy class, he calls Mikaela and she comes to Sam's aid, finding him being attacked by Alice. When Alice is revealed to be a Decepticon Pretender, Mikaela, Sam and Leo drive off, with Alice chasing them. Mikaela, being the car's driver, disposes of Alice, but while on the highway their car gets carried away by Grindor in his helicopter mode. After Grindor drops them into a building, the trio gets confronted by Megatron, Starscream, Grindor and The Doctor. Sam is then immobilized by Megatron, and as The Doctor prepares to dissect Sam's brain to get information on the location of a new energon signal, Optimus and Bumblebee arrive. Optimus then pursues Megatron to a nearby forest with Sam. Telling Sam to hide, Optimus soon realises it is a trap and is confronted by Megatron, Grindor and Starscream. Optimus takes on all of the Decepticons, killing Grindor and severing Starscreams arm. However, Optimus is impaled through the chest by Megatron and enters stasis lock in a near death state. The rest of the Autobots arrive on the scene and fend off the remaining Decepticons while Sam is evacuated by Bumblebee and the twins.

The Decepticons invade the planet, sinking an aircraft carrier upon their arrival. Soundwave hacks into all television signals to broadcast The Fallen demanding that Sam be surrendered. Meanwhile, Galloway shuts down NEST and Sam's parents are captured by Rampage in Paris.

Sam, Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee, Wheelie and the twins rendezvous in a remote location to hide Sam. Leo suggests seeking the help of his website rival "RoboWarrior", who is revealed to be former Sector Seven Agent Simmons. Simmons reveals his hidden archive of alien research and explains the history of the Transformers on Earth. It is explained by Wheelie that the language Sam sees is of the Dynasty of Primes, the original seven Transformers who powered the AllSpark like a battery by destroying suns. Wheelie leads the group to Jetfire, an old Seeker who joined the Autobots due to "personal choice". When Wheelie hears Jetfire's reason for changing sides, he too decides to join the Autobots. After getting updated on the situation, Jetfire uses a space bridge to teleport the group to Egypt. Upon arrival, Sam injures his left hand while everyone else is ejected out of the space bridge in different directions. After everyone regroups, Jetfire explains that the Primes used the suns to power the AllSpark by using machines called Sun Harvesters, which uses the Matrix of Leadership as a key. The Primes, however, maintained that the Sun Harvester not be used in a star system with life forms. One of their own — now known as The Fallen — betrayed them, and sparked the war for the AllSpark. The other Primes defeated The Fallen and then sacrificed themselves to seal away the Matrix in a tomb hidden somewhere in the desert.

Through clues, the Matrix is found in Petra but it crumbles to dust in Sam's hands. Nevertheless, Sam piles the dust into his sock. Simmons contacts Major William Lennox and his troops and asks them to bring the Autobots and Optimus' corpse to Egypt so Optimus can be revived, a Prime being the only one capable of killing The Fallen. The military arrive but so do the Decepticons. Leo, Simmons and the twins face off against Devastator, the combined form of several Constructicons, who scales a pyramid to uncover the Sun Harvester. Devastator is ultimately destroyed by a rail gun round fired from a nearby destroyer on Simmons' orders.

Bumblebee rescues Sam's parents, killing both Ravage and Rampage, while two of Arcee's bike modes are mortally wounded in the fight.[3] Additional reinforcements are summoned, killing Long Haul, Scrapper and Hightower. However, Sam is caught in the attack and is severely injured by Megatron, rendering him unconscious. While in this state, Sam has a vision of the Dynasty of Primes. He then reawakens, telling Mikaela that he loves her just as the Matrix regenerates, and uses it to revive Optimus. However, before Optimus can be fully revived, The Fallen travels through a space bridge and takes the Matrix back out of Optimus' spark.

After killing Mixmaster, Jetfire fights and kills Scorponok, but is mortally wounded. He then gives up his own spark and parts to Optimus, which are attached with the help of Jolt and Ratchet. Optimus uses his new strength to destroy the Sun Harvester and kill The Fallen with Megatron and Starscream making a tactical retreat.

The film concludes with Optimus proclaiming that the Transformers and humans now share an untold history and will combine their differences.

BACK TO THE BLOG
Ya it's quite a lot but you'll understand more if you watch the show. I don't think anyone would bother reading this long piece of crap. Anyway, the show obviously has a happy ending right? So obviously the Autobots win. However, I think the sub-storyline is quite shitty cos all they do is go around the world to Egypt just to revive Optimus, which takes up half the time. And... Michael Bay wasn't doing a good job at filming the fighting scenes because... the camaramen was like having a fit or something cos the camara was shaking so much, and the was so much metal, I could hardly see what they were doing. At least there were jokes. Ultimately, it was a very good show. Although the review gives 0.5/5, I'll give 3.5/5.

Long time no see... um... log in

It's been a long time since I last posted on my blog, and I'm feeling lazier and lazier to post. Maybe by the end of this comming term it will be dead. No one knows. I have been very buzy these first 2 weeks of June holidays. Let me start from the beginning.

First I had my EU camp, from 4-6June, as I mentioned from few posts ago.

Then, I had the IP champions competition camp, which was pretty much crap, cos we had to make a comic on copyright... yea.. quite lame... so we(Me, Hean Ming and Winson) didn't win, maybe because I did not want to win and Winson didn't try hard enough. He said he wanted to win, but in the end, it doesn't even matter, cos he did not. If you say you want to do something, yet do nothing about about, it is worthless.

Finally, I had the Teens IDOL camp organised by my church, which was UBBER fun. A lot of new friends I made there and wa... dunno how to describe... very fun, yet we learnt lots of stuff. But... not everybody can go. Only youths who attend my church encounter camp then can attend. But still very very very fun. Cannot describe.

Oh ya... I also haven't finish A LOT of homework... :( so now I slowly chiong(oxymoron) hahaha slowly chiong... XD But really lah, have to chiong liao.

Hyper during the holidays

For the past few days, I went to this camp called 'Empower U' camp and I learnt alot of things about life, how to live it to the fullest and, I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed it coz it was so fun. But... I think Mrs Dhar will whack me when school reopens coz I cannot make it to check out the error of the export file I sent during the competition. Oh ya... didn't mention what happened during the competiton and I don't bother mentioning. If you want to know, you may inform me by commenting. Moving on... At the beginning of the camp, I felt, like anybody, alone, because I did not know anyone there except some of my friends who are like, so far away from where I was. So there was this Sec 1 guy called Earl came to talk to me and I wasn't so 'lonely'. Then I was split up with my friend into a group called 'Lions' and he was 'Chimps' so.. it was like, bye bye. But, I was teamed up with my friend who I knew last time called Dawn and Sumit and others who I don't know. So they made Dawn the Leader and me the vice and that's it. We were supposed to sit in our groups and so the guys sat in front and the girls sat behind. Then we met this guy who is so cool coz he like, ran the 84km ultramarathon recently and he plans to run another 240km in the Sahara desert in October to raise funds for the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund. So cool right? I also think so. There were also other funny guys there and we had loads of fun, yet learnt loads of stuff. You should go man, its so fun. So fun that, I still feel hyper today, which is 2 days afer the camp. Hahahahahahahaha dunno why I'm laughing.
One more thing. I'm gonna add labels to my posts from now on, so I won't mix stuff up.
And I will put up the quotes my self coz google quotes suck, although I don't know about mine. I hope you enjoy and can get the true meaning of the quote.

Finally, the moment you all have been waiting for!!!

Whew!!! Finally it's the holidays and I know all the study choingsters are sad, bad the majority are HAPPY :) Woots!!! Anyway, today is THE last day of the semester and school term so we, like did the classroom cleaning, and I was cleaning the doors, barefooted. It was much better than wearing shoes coz the floor was so wet, and I need to stand on the chair to clean the top of the door. The rag I brought was turned from purple to black, while being cut into half after the form teacher, Ms Lee, cut it to give it to Ming Wei to clean the fan and stop slacking. While walking on the wet floor, I had to fold up my pants to become 3/4 pants to walk, if not the bottom of my pants will be as black as the rag I brought. By the way, Jun Cong splash water on me when I didn't even do anything!!! I so angry, so I whack him. Then he quite emo for a while. Then after recess, we went to the hall to listen to the vice-principal talk crap, and our class tio stay back for no reason... After the talk, we gwent back to class to get dismissed. I took bus with Darren Tai and Hean Ming, but I mostly talk to Darren about DM and when I played with him after we alighted and got owned by his cunning strategies. On the 3rd game, I used his strategies against him and he lost, and I :) ... Bye man I go enJOY holidays liao.

Sick day

Phew! I woke up this morning feeling very cold and felt that I needed to pee so I went to the toilet. Suddenly, I felt a strange heave from my stomach and before I knew it, I started vomiting into the toilet bowl. As I vomited, I saw my vomit and realised it was black. EWWWWWW. I went back to sleep for another 2 more hours. When it's time to go to school, I suddenly felt soooo cold. I took the thermometer and at once I knew I had a fever. 38.9 degree Celcius. WOW. I went back to sleep until 11am than I went to see a doctor. He told me I have stomach flu and need MC for 1 day. When I got home, I took my medicine and slept until 6pm. I didn't know I could sleep that long. I woke up, ate my dinner and took medicine again. Although not going to school is shiok, but staying at home having a headache and fever isn't a good thing. Okay, I'm feeling tired now, need to sleeeeeeeeep. ZZZZZZZZ.

So, erm this time round the exam were not as difficult as CT1, HOWEVER, I seem to have screwed up a few of my subjects. Namely, Additional Mathematics and Geography, of which Geography is the one that I screwed up the BIGGEST time EVER. I'm dead meat for my humanities. I just know it. And for my maths.
