Sigh.

Damn. Didn't get into Overdose. Oh well. I knew it anyway.

Post-UPSR Post

Phew. I've had enough taste of life after UPSR to talk about it now. And yeah, it's hectic.

It's been really crazy, actually. Let's see. How will I do this post? I'm not interested in talking about and elaborating on everywhere I went, and you aren't interested in reading it, either, so I'll just make a list:

Thursday the 15th:
Band practice after school.
Sleepover Dylan's house.

Friday the 16th:
Audition for The Guitar Store's annual concert.
Return to Dylan's house to stay the night.

Saturday the 17th:
Naveena's party in the afternoon.
Mun Keat's party at night.

Sunday the 18th:
Band coaching session in Cheras' The Guitar Store for the concert.

Monday the 19th:
Ashwin's house, sleepover.

Tuesday the 20th:
Rachel's house.

Thursday the 22nd:
1U with primary school friends.

Friday the 23rd:
Band practice.

Saturday the 24th:
Double auditions-
Overdose auditions in the afternoon,
then back to the Cheras guitar store for final auditions.

So that's it so far. It's Saturday night now. I'm kinda worried about the auditions. The Guitar Store one went pretty well, I think, but Overdose not so.

It was mainly my fault, though. My guitar was kinda softer than the other instruments, so the all-so-important riff from Stars(Switchfoot) was lost amidst the Jeremy's drumming. Plus, for some reason, my effects weren't on the right settings, and I only realized that halfway through, since I couldn't hear myself playing. Sigh. We were so much better during yesterday's practice.

Can't wait for the results. Oh, and by the way? Guess who else is playing in The Guitar Store's concert? Our old friends, Kip Chean and Phoebe. Well, I wasn't really close to them while they were in WMS, but yeah. What a coincidence.

I'll give a better post next time. I'm dead tired now.

We're finally back.

Honestly, these are some of the best days of my life. And the holiday hasn't even begun. I mean, we still have two more of our form 4 entrance exams tomorrow. And yeah, today's exams were extremely easy. Especially maths. (note tone of voice which is really dripping with warm, delicious sarcasm)

But hey, what do the entrance exams matter? According to school history, nobody has ever been kicked out of form 3 for having terrible entrance results. So all that we have to worry about is the streaming. And honestly, I'm fine with either one, although my family expects me to go for Science.

While we're on the topics of streaming, there were actually several jokes about that...

Mano, while briefing us about streams:

"You should choose your streams according to what you want to be. Tzer Chyuan, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to be a rich man."

"He can go to the money stream, then. Sungei Wang!"

And earlier today:

"Hey, Justin. What stream are you joining next year?"

"Hmm. Probably main."
Mainstream, see?

So as I was saying, no point worrying about the entrance exams so much. The way I see things, we're screwed even if we study or not. So now, I officially declare the stad of holidays.

And, I also declare that English, Maths, BM, Geo, KH, Science and History are:
And yes, I'd purposely left History as the last to be named. Just to have the privilege of saying History is History. I'm rather proud of all my new ambigrams. I think they're pretty easy to read, compared to those I've made before.

See this next one.
Heart, as you can see.

And this one, which is my favourite:

HeArTS on one side, SPaDe on the other. Amazing. But the colour doesn't look so good on here, does it? The Heart one worked better. But I swear, this one looked great in photoshop. Sigh.

I made all these during my geo exam. Except the History one, of course. No prizes for guessing which exam I did it during, though.

By the way, watch Glee.

It's just about the best thing ever. I started watching right before the PMR, and have not missed an episode since. That's how good it is. And watch Community, too. Which is from the director of ARReSTeD DeVeLOPMeNt. If you haven't seen Arrested Development, you should go check that out too. These are among the best TV shows of our time.

But seriously. Glee kicks butt. Here's a trailer.



No, just because it's a show about music doesn't make it a new High School Musical. I'm not one of those who hate High School Musical, but seriously, Glee is uncomparable to High School Musical. It would be like comparing a pronticle to a hirten. And THAT is impossible, because those two things don't exist. Haha!

By the way, I haven't seen the trailer myself, on account of my Youtube not working, but I am confident that it's a good trailer, because all they have do is take any 2 minutes from the series, and it will surely be good. That's how great Glee is. If you happen to run into the soundtrack of the series while at Youtube, don't. Those are the best parts of Glee, and it wouldn't do to spoil it.

If you can't find it anywhere online, and have trouble torrenting the episodes, I'd be happy to lend you a thumbdrive full of glee.

So anyway, I'm just about done here. Let's wrap up with a nice joke. A KH joke? Awesome.

What do you call a kuprum with a pet?

Kuprum berenamel. Beranimal, get it? If you don't know what kuprum berenamel is, go study your Form 1 KH.

Looks like we've reached the end of the post. Look below, try to understand the joke.
If you don't get it, try looking back to the stad of the post. Ah, now you see light.
