An "Interesting" Article from Wiki - Schizophrenia

If you ask me, I don't know how to pronounce that word, nor its origins.
I just happened to stumble onto this article when I'm... down, earlier today.

Meaning of this word : a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality.

Quite a surprise, someone I know has this kind of abnormalities. He (I forgot his/her gender) is always in a different mood whenever I saw him. He will be cherry sometimes, something angry like hell, and something sad (I didn't see him in a sad mood once).

When he is happy, he laughs more than our BC teacher do. (And I must say our BC teacher has quite an impressive laugh - very entertaining) When he is angry, he will xxxx us and scold everyone near him.

WARNING: This guy/gal is EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE (Though the location might change the results)

-It's just a joke-
I am talking about fps. Really, 1000 fps is like so cool, and everything will just ZOOM~ over in less that a second. Games that we currently play normally does not exceed 100 fps, but there are some high-graphics ones that will exceed 100 fps, but normally not more that 500 fps. I cannot imagine a game or a movie that is 1000 fps, I mean, how long will it take the graphics designer to finish all of those pictures? 1 day 1 frame? That sounded stupid but I think we'll reach that point of technology sooner or later.


And BTW for Senior 1 ppl learning Anim8or, this is quite the extent of Anim8or, not those spaceships and honey stars we're been doing so long: (Link: -=[FAQ/Manual]=- Modeling a car )

Parodies: Sometimes Good! Sometimes Bad!

Ever heard of a "parody"?

A "parody" is like a remake version of a song by fans, not by the artist themselves.
I'd been listening to a lot of English songs these days.
Some artists are simply...... Astonishing!

Such as Jason Derulo, Iyaz, Alicia Keys, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga(In some ways), Timbaland, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and so much more.

They sang nice songs, I mean REALLY nice songs that I would listen to them for about 5 times a day but never get bored of them.

Though there were still singers that SUCKED! I mean, they just simple SUCKED.

Such as Paramore (Which I'll discuss next time)

Even though I did not really like Rock music, but even those rock bands like Muse and OneRepublic sounded sooooooooooo much better than Paramore.
To put it in one line: Paramore sucks! Sucks like hell!

(Ahem) Back to the topic.
Since I have so many songs that I like, I'm always interested in some fan-made cover of those songs, so I just went to YouTube and typed:





then I get:




WHOA! A whole bun'cha search results.
So I'd just go and listen to the first one.
(The "Glitter Puke - Key of Awesome" one)
And guess what? It is pretty nice, as some of the comments said that it is "Better than Original"

For those of you who are interested, the video is right here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7n8GqewJ2M

And there are still a few more that is nice, such as:

Owl City - Fireflies (Parody - Ikea)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsGc6-lNAHQ

Wonder Girls - Nobody (Parody - Wash Your Hands Too)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lViRlo1_b1o

Taylor Swift - Love Story (Parody - Space Story)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSNocwniCHM

I hope the three parodies above will give you song entertainment.
Now I will share with you the WORST PARODY I'd ever heard in my life, and it was like 10 Billion miles away from the original song.

Let me share some opinions of mine on this so-called, "song":
Linkin Park - New Divide (Parody - no title)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzMojMYu2y8

The singer is HORRIBLE, I'd give him an F or even Z (if the ranks even go that far) for his singing skills. He cannot control his pitch and tries to use fake voice to "lift" his voice to the peak (1:22/2:35 in the video). OH MY GOSH! Such a good song is changed by him into a TOTAL CATASTROPHE!!!!!!!!!!

He also 走音走到爆! I will say WTF for that. Now onto the lyrics, the lyrics was poorly written. An originally 5-word sentence was changed into a 7-word "rap", and the pieces does not fit. And I think that "kid" was very hungry during the production cause a whole lotta lyrics was changed into FOOD!!!!!

Example:

Original: I remembered black skies, the lighting all around me...
Parody: I remembered good steak, the burgers all around me...

Original: I remembered each flash, as time began to purge...
Parody: I remembered each bite, as juice began to drip...

You can say WTF now, but wait till you see the rest...

Original: So give me reason, to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean...
Parody: So give me salad, to top each bread, to wash my dirty hands clean...

Original: Give me reason, to fill this hole, connect the space within...
Parody: Give me fork~, to eat this hole, savor this sweet goodness...

Original: Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies, across this new divide!
Parody: Let it melt~~~~ in your mouth~~~~, the sweet and sour~~~~~, inside this new diner!

So as WTF now, I'm enough of comparison, continuing this (insert rude word) is a complete waste of my time. Those comparisons are for entertainment purposes.

P/S: Next time I'll rant on my hate of Paramore, cause IT really SUCKED!

Here are some pictures of the "hungry kid":

Nooooooooo! No More English Novels for Form 4 & 5!

As if you would notice, the BM Novel for Form 4 had changed from "Koncerto Terakhir" to "Papa" as shown in the book list from www2.chonghwakl.edu.my, now I found out that there is no more English Novel! Shyt! Why!!!!!

Actually, I thought they were going to substitute the "older" novels like "Jungle of Hope", "The Pearl" and "The Return" into something MORE interesting but now they canceled it, dammit.

And what's more, the changed the WHOLE book of Selected Poems and Short Stories Form 4 into something completely different. Now they call it the Collection of Poems, Short Stories and Drama. Oh boy, why do I feel that the English literature is starting to transform into BM format... Puisi, Cerpen then Drama...

The changes are as follow:

POEMS: (6 Poems > 4 Poems)

Sonnet 18 by Willian Shakespeare > In the Midst of Hardship by Latiff Mohidin

si tenggang's homecoming by Muhammad Haji Salleh > He Had Such Quiet Eyes by Bibsy Soenharjo

There's Been a Death in the Opposite House by Emily Dickinson > Nature by H.D. Carberry

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost > Are You Still Playing Your Flute by Zurinah Hassan

Monsoon History by Shirley Geok-lin Lim > (REMOVED)

If by Rudyard Kipling > (REMOVED)

SHORT STORIES: (5 Stories > 2 Stories)

The Lotus Eater by Somerset Maugham > QWERTYUIOP by Vivien Alcock

The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant > The Fruitcake Special by Frank Brennan

The Drover's Wife by Henry Lawson > (REMOVED)

The Sound Machine by Roald Dahl > (REMOVED)

Looking for a Rain God by Bessie Head > (REMOVED)

DRAMA: (0 Drama > 1 Drama)

(NONE) > Gulp and Gasp by John Townsend




So, in conclusion, the changed the amount of literature from 11 to 7, what a drastic fall it is. I hope they will add some more novels or literature or else this will make English lessons at school even boring than usual.

And I have a sample of the Drama, it's usage of Language Styles (A.K.A. "Gaya Bahasa") is simply.................... Outrageous, or should I say "Overused"

SAMPLE: From the Drama "Gulp and Gasp" by John Townsend

"

ROSE: This morning I was nobody but you have made me a somebody. I'm so happy.

PERCY: This morning I was nobody but you have made me a somebody. Now I have all I need.

CROUCH: Apart from your pants! This morning I was nobody... nothing has changed.

LORD SEPTIC: This morning I was somebody but you lot have made me a nobody. I'm sick to the back teeth of the lot of you. I'm really f...f...f...f...f...

CROUCH: Fat? Foolish? Flabby? Feeble? Flea-infested?

LORD SEPTIC: Shut your mouth, Crouch. Don't you think we've have enough 'F's for one night?

"


TIP: And in case you don't know, the protagonist for this story is PERCY and ROSE while the antagonists are LORD SEPTIC and his servant, CROUCH.

Now for the SAMPLE EXERCISE

1, Describe the mood of this scene. (See above)

2, How does the repetition of "This morning I was nobody but you have made me a somebody" enhance the mood in this scene?






Therefore, the only thing I can say about this addition to the novel is...... OMG! I wish they could do better than this!


To be continued?

Back from teh NO-INTERNET Trip

Subtitle: JANGAN POTONG!!!!! Walaupun kamu telah nampak itu "Potong Saga" dan P11MAX selalu "potong, potong", JANGAN POTONG!!!!! Gunalah Streamyx!!!!!

I just went for a one-week stay at my Grandparents' in Johor Bahru, and oh my, what a boring stay it is. This is due to multiple reasons that drives me mad during a 7-day stay.

1, There is a very-very-very-very-very-...(infinite) slow connection there in Johor Bahru. And as I almost want to complain for the slow connection for their Streamyx prior to half a year ago. So they changed to the P11Max, I thought "Yeah! Finally! Some DECENT connection speed!" And what I get was "3 Kbp/s" and sometimes it will surprise me by saying "Connection failed due to System Error". To put is simple, Shyt!

2, There is no FREE CARS! Since the connection is so....(look above) slow I wanted to go around to other places like shopping malls, bowling centers and etc. to keep me from touching the computer and its slow connection. But what do you know, there is NO FREE CARS! Since everyone is busy with their work at JB so every car is occupied and I have NO FREE CARS (But with a WOMAN-driver anyway) to go around. So, in conclusion, shyt(x2)!

3, My stupid comp don't have a Graphic Card! This makes me unable to play other computers games at JB since my comp has no Graphic Card but there is a WHOLE LOTTA GAMES with HIGH QUALITY GRAPHICS at JB and I'm UNABLE to PLAY!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!

In conclusion, I want to shout as loud as I could, but we are staying in a terrace house in JB and therefore I cannot shout because it might disturb our neighbor! What a boring trip it is! But I wonder why I am still looking forward to go back to JB, maybe there is the place where I can reunite and play with all my cousins. Alas, SOMETHING to do in JB, thank god.

Recall the Choir Competition... Part 2

Subtitle: We did something wrong too... But the audience is STILL to blame!

From the last part of this post I mentioned that the audience will take all the blame for delaying our performance and thus leads our performance to an ugly end. But after I loaded and watched the whole performance of our class at the choir competition I changed my mind a bit. That is because our class has some SERIOUS error at the 'beat'(pictures later), but most of the blame is taken by the audience since I already said - No clapping hands/wooing between two songs performed by the same group.

Here are some pictures to support my point:

Pic 1 & 2: Wei Yi lowering his head after the "enthusiastic" audience keeps on clapping their hands after Candlelight Carol has Finished:







Pic 3: EXTREME off beat during the sentence "...and when the Saints go marching out into glory..." (by boys)



Pic 4, 5 & 6: SMALL ERRORS, this don't really count as a fault since they are careless mistakes on the hand expressions and signs and don't really mess with the points (According to professional judge hand expressions and signs only counts as 2~5 marks under the "Creativity" section)

*The difference of time between Pic 4 and Pic 5 are around 3~5 seconds






*Pic 6: Errr the picture is kinda self-explanatory




Well..... expect part 3 (Final part) very soon...... or a very long period later......

Holiday Again... Yeah Again...

I haven't been writing blog for about 2 months.
I'm probably too busy to write any anyway.
You know, exams, homework and etc. etc.

Now finally squeezed some time out to write something.
Thanks to Mr. Whoever-It-Is for giving us a 5-day-chain-combo holiday and some time to rest after the exam.
I'm thinking of getting some time off holiday to travel, but well, something happened to one of my elders and everything's gone.

There is nothing to do for this short holiday, except for revision, revision and revision.
The PMR is just around the corner, now I am like an ant on the boiling pan(I'm not sure this sentence exist).
Or... maybe not, since I'm not sitting in front of the computer and trying to find something to type onto this post.

But at least something is good for this short holiday:
I don't need to participate in this Friday's friggin "Send off Party" for my society.
According to one of the committee members, the games that are planned for this "Send off Party" is EXTREMELY disgusting.
Hope that they will not be like the "Fear Factor" event back in 2007.
Be canceled! Please! I'm begging you! Cancel this pointless event!

*Breath in... Breath out... Breath in... Breath out...*
I'm okay now, it's just that every time I think of that "Send off Party", I'm getting fired up!

Yeah... finally, something to share with everyone:



For Males only!
