The websites are not in any order. But if any EXO team member or njrc participant, namely faris from VS, pass by here and click on anyone of of them, I think memories will start streaming back.
Ryan told me once, before sleeping and trying to on the bed at night, he thought and recalled about NJRC and all thoes robotics competitions we have participated. The way he described it was so de-ja-vu. I mean, I have such experiences before! And OFTEN at that.. Its common, I believe for us as emotion-filled living things on this planet to recall happy, mirthful, exciting, andrenalic-rush kind of experiences. A sensation of mixed up feelings (mainly everything pleasant) whenever I think of robotics and the competitions I have joined come to me. My resume and achievements of robotics is, to me, outstanding and I'm proud of it. I wondered once if I am more "zhi hao" over anything else other than robotics. And at this point of time. Its a no. Only robotics.. i feel.. has really given me everything. Still it has its downs like any other ups and downs. For one now, I can only think of the strained relationship between tribal studioz ( i guess mainly mr gilbert) and probably SCGS and me. I mean.. for now thats the down part, for the issue aint settle yet. None of you really know what happened only ryan, zr, faris and wenxian.. I'll perhaps blog it down when im free next time.
Anyway thats a down. I had nightmares and a few times while studying i thought of what happened between mr g and me. It all voices down to one word- misunderstanding. Im dead sure it is. But i dont know if on his side he'll probably see its as my character. But since Primary 6 till now Sec4, i have known him. He asked me, "we know each other for so long, you dont know my character meh?" I want to re-ask him that question myself again. Only then perhaps will the issue resolve. I hope for him to see this message and I wonder if it'll affect my studies for O level if this thing remains unsettled.. But he wont see this. He dont even know of this website. Right now, i feel that is the only main stone stuck in my heart and in my life. IF i had to die now, that'll probably be my only last regret that i left behind without resolving.
Well. I think everyone wont know what im talking about so i shall not continue. Robotics.. really.. I dont use and read this word like you do. I tried lookin at his word from another point of view. From YOUR point of view. I think i cant. Probably you all only see it as something i like to mention as though its just another CCA or its just another robot related stuff. ROBOT-ics. Sure sounds automated, automatron, machine-like, robot-like, mechanic and all that. It is it is. But to me, its well.. you probably heard this from somewhere a dozen of times, more than a passion.
Recently i met faris on my way home. He was on his way to tuition. He asked me if i wanna go NJRC'05 during the SEPT HOL. Njrc period is forever that period. Sec4's cant join. MOE dont allow because of the big O's. Anyway, im like so freaking tempted to turn up everyday at Science Centre to be able to spectate the whole of NJRC man. Actually being there is not enough. I just want to be part of the action. Be in the booth doing robot, mangling with the judges, broadening my social circle wid other school (mainly girls heh) so on so on. There's really so much to do so much to see so much going on in the back street. Ok ignore that song. But truly, its really close to my heart.
After faris and i parted, again the nostalgic feeling came back. NJRC.. i really cannot put anything down into words.. its all.. within me.. its really part of my life. I realised i felt so empty without it. If you can realise I'm not really going into detail. I cant! I just cant! Njrc left such a.. routine like life for me during njrc period. Its basically chiong robotics day in day out. Really. Sleepless nights, missing meals.. I mean.. Im just a kid. I still am a kid until im 18. And all this experiences.. its way too much for me to handle. I miss thoes staying overnight in schools.. runnin my robot... straunting down the competition venues with my almost perfect robot.. Checking out the results of my robot and knowing i am top few... i mean.. all this.. until you have experienced it then will you know it. What aids and adds to it is that I perform well during competitions. I get all the luck in the world. Everything seems to turn out right. All the stars tune and move into place. All the GODS are doing their special thing up there to make my robot complete its task. Everything! The wind velocity is right, the light intensity is suitable for my light sensors, the robot wheels are smooth and tactful, the playing field proves not to be an obstacle and everything the robot is supposed to do.. is done!
NJRC is about Science Centre setting up a playing field. Mainly the size of our classroom table placed 5 by 2. Then you have to collect balls, dump them somewhere else... Dislodge a toy placed somewhere hard to reach in the playing field... Collect some irregular shaped object back to base.. Circle some weird drawing on the playing field three times.. Raise a flag.. Press a button.. And for the most recent one set for njrc'05 which i havent tried... going down a stairs.
Everytime i run the robot.. It had never failed me. I mean. I have to be thankful for all the awards my robot had given me. (anyway for different competitons you build and programme different robot. so sum haf alrdy been dismantled but i will remeber their souls while others are recycled for my juniors to use again or preserved for exhibitions).
Take, for example, WRO. http://www.wroboto.org/competition_overallrankings.html ( i just had to haolian... check out exo ranking at s037!) WRO is held in Downtown East NTUC chalet. All partcipants stay in the chalet. Meals, accomodation are provided for free. People from other countries fly to S'pore and stay here. Its an international event. The competition arena is held in D Marquee. Its simply a huge tent. So freaking big that it can hold hundreds of people. Aircon, chairs, stage, playing fields.... There is the open category (nobody gives a heck for this) and the main category. Under main category we have slalom, sprint, sumo. I got 4th and 6th for slalom and sprint respectively. For sumo, i cheated. I did something im not supposed to do and i was caught. Boy was that an embarrassing situation. Imagine yourself competiting in such a high-class event representing your country. Everyone from all around the world are watching you with cam recorders. And i was caught. SCREW that moment. I wont forget it. But thank The Philipines for going easy on me. I cheated against them but they werent very harsh on me. For slalom category, you must programme your robot through a maze with white walls and hit a stick. They give you like 1hr to build and porgramme it. A MAZE. HIT THE STICK. All in one hour. Its not simple in that condition. You are stuck in a locked up area. You run to the playing field. You run back to your booth and face the computer and start muttering to yourself while programming. You run back to playing field. You memorize readings like number of rotations for robot to reach here and there. And you gotta make sure it works at the playing field. When you run back. You programme again. 1hr. Ta-da its over. Playing field closed. I was like. WHAT THE?
Then guess what. I sat on my chair. In my booth. Faced the laptop. And did guesswork, memorywork and everything i coould. During my trials i couldnt even hit one stick at all. Everything just didnt work. But miraculously.. For the 10 mins at the laptop.. after consulting my expert teammates ryan and zhangren.. ( i asked them if they trusted me) and alot of self confidence and motivation, I changed and erased the programme and redo everyhting. The other teams were either slacking, resting from all thoes running or starring at me. I ignored them all and simply programmed on my laptop. From time to time, I run the robot on the floor to measure the rotations for 10cm of distance. All using zr and ryan leg as walsl while the robot navigate through them. WE R DESPO. I WANTED TO WIN.
My turn came. I prayed. I on the robot and run. OH MY GOD. It moved. Forward. Turn. Align. Turn forward move. Then ahead of it is the stick. 10cm away. I didnt dare look. But im not that kind. I LOOKED and prayed. "thuck" The stick was hit. Btw, the teams b4 me did nothing better. MOst couldnt hit a single stick. While the best so far only hit two sticks. Courtesy of FUHUA SEC. MY RIVAL CUM FRIEND SCH and the one who came out tops in this event. Two sticks was all it takes to top a WORLD EVENT. And it was done by SIngapore. You have to admit our standard is international already. Well. i am too! :P Anyway. I was beyond words. The robot hit one stick. Turns out i was 4th. 4th out of the so many countries. Go the website and check it out yourself.
You dont have to feel what im feeling now. This is my blog. I type anything i like. But seriously when i hear some heavy beat music.. certain songs. Reminds me of njrc. Really. "Can you keep up.. baby boy...let me loose my breath." Oh man CHIJ TP went up stage and danced to this song. Bootylicious. Lol. But really la. I dont wanna see robotics now anymore. Otherwise i'll cry. I'm on the brink of tears already.
ps: anyone wanna go njrc'05 during dis sept hol can tell me. i'll bring you dere and u can see ppl flockin to me for i owned that competiton. i got 2nd during 2004 and 2003. i rock njrc down man. nobody dunno me at sci ctr. im famous over dere for robotics. and you wanna learn robotics. i'll provide lessons after o level. im serious. i'll go work for tribal studioz at www.tribalstudioz.com and conduct n teach robotics and earn at least $1k a month.

Well.. i see you finally are satisfied upon realising that i updated.. boring huh? days that i dont update.. haha..
Recently when SIGNS started premiering on channel 5.. The topic i once went through with wengseng and zixuan when we stayed overnight at zixuan's place pop into my head again. Then i knew i had to do it, i asked zhangren for his opinions.
"what do you think of aliens?" Basically, he felt that aliens are from the future. He claimed that we can travel through time like you know, " THE TIME MACHINE". He said in the future, as in what comes may, the human sapiens will evolve and become what we see now as aliens. In another words, perhps 1 hundred years later, we can teleport back to the past. And thats what people are claiming to see.. the future us!
How true is that i dont know. But there are more such mysteries.. Bermuda, black hole, outer space, UFO.. so on so on.. For now, dont think so much and just study. Bye

Ok. Here's some food for thought. Im feeding you, see? So better not bite the hands that feed you with this golden spoon ok?
Let me share with you something, considering my new blog skin, only smart asses get here. Yea. So i get to put something down here closer to heart, pragmatic, realistic, down-to-earth, and a more-myself thinkings and idealogy. So this is getting personal and very private. So here's darren up close and personal.
I know im short. But stop calling me 159. I can easily name a dozen others who refer me as 159 (i guess i dun have to explain what thoes pathetic numbers mean right) and have already forgotten my real name. Lol, just kidding. So yea my height now would probably a 160 at least. And don't go "are you sure" me. Im dead sure. If im not, i make sure i tip-toe to reach that extra cm. Being short means vertically challenged. For some helpful friends, namely Justin my badminton senior, educated me on perhaps why i cant grow. He said i started training my muscles at too young a age. Ok, to fill you in, i used to do pumpings in my primary school days. I do it because i got nothing better else to do, i wanna sweat and work out, and i lazy to leave the house and i just want bulging flesh revealing from under my clothes. So i do push-ups at least 20 in my primary school days everyday. Don't ask me the number but at the very beginning making myself go "down 20" at one go is not simple. Hey just recall your primary school days will you? Back then when you're just a puny little kid, innocent and naive and watching power rangers or perhaps a more "upgraded child" watching pokemon. I sure did back in thoes days. So yea. I just pump 20 whenever i like, esp halfway during studying sessions. A form of break to me i guess.
I stopped when i realised its a waste of time. No one really noticed my "xiao lao shu" at my right arms until i wear the new Pe t-shirt. The house t-shirt Xinghua just designed. I remember in Primary 6, George was salivating whenever i take off my shirt before Pe lessons. I love sports. And i like being fit and physically strong, so thats me i guess.
Anyway it makes some sense that when you train your arm muscles at a young age, your other muscles are more concentrated on your arms. Perhaps there is lesser growth on other parts of your body. But heck, i din now back then ok? Another classic example would be Matthew in 4rp. My primary school friend who also train during primary school days. Look at his height. He's shorter then me. Not convinced? Look at wee shuin. Siokling once told me to compete doing push up's with him in sec1. I said "bring me to him." she did and i saw wee shuin for the first time at the mini pavement road os service road right beside the canteen. The one in between the eco-corner and the staircase of the canteen. "show me your stuffs" "huh? ... orh..." Then down he went doind easily twenty something knuckle push-ups on the rough tar-road. Thats fit for you. I dont know i can beat that. But i can at least do a miserable one hand push up now. C'on now, togther "wahhhhh..."
Another thing my big sis always mention would be the "GENES" Not denim jeans. But the freakin things passed down from your parents to you. Its hereditary alright? So if you're a bloody 170 sth guy and always tauting at me just show me your parents ok? Then i'll taunt you back its your parents work not yours ok? You get what your parents is. Your father must be probably tall or at least a respectable height therefore reproducing another freaking long legged freak like you. I dont know why Guo ming just keeps popping in and out of my head now. Hey come on man, i've been going out long enough to realise and substantiate my point ok. I go out on weekends with my family and i see parents or rather fathers of at least 180cm being accompanied by equally giant-ed children. It aids to the fact that they are wearing basketball shoes. Probably proves they are in the basketball team or plays basketball regularly. Not then i dont, but its true that if you engage in a sports activity that requires you to jump alot, your legs automatically grows longer and vour-la a la your height.
I know i know, if you're close to me or you know me well you will also know i play sports that need to jump. (Come on im a freakin badminton player and dont tell me i dunt have to jump to smash. if i dont jump the shuttle probably ends up meeting the net and dropping on my side of the court) But i go back to my previous theories. My father aint that tall ( i dont think hes 170 ) and i bet my arm is thicker then thoes long legged freaks' legs. Not to be exagggerating or boasting, but i mean give me some pride and integrity as a human living and breathing on this planet will you? Reward my existence with basic respect of some kind and stop insinuating my height will you? You're tall, congrats. You can notice the bald spots at the top of my head. Im short, i cant do anything can i?
Being gay, lesbian, homo and some other wierd traits people have are psycological. They have weird thinking and strang thoughts in thier heads. Take thoes transvasites (srew my spelling). They are born male, they wished they were female. They snip off thier *you-know-what* and sit on toilet bowls to pee. ( i dont know i prefer standing and peering at the guys beside me and feeling proud of myself :P ) Yea they have it all in thier head. Thier hormones. They have a voice in thier head screaming to discover the other feminine side of them. Then they undergo surgery.
Fyi, i havent heard of a surgery which makes a person 20cm taller. Even if there is, i wont do it. I bet you wont too. If you still wanna challenge me, msg me and i place 50 bucks as a bet. Some guys are natural sissy and gay. I dont have to name who for there's one in class. (stop sniggering and guessing who will you) These sissy and gay just need to go through some stupid lecture or training course on "how to be manly" and poof they can become the next man hunt. Me? Go through a " how to act tall and pull it off" session? Can you get what im driving at? Its not my fault to be short. If you're gay. Its your fault. You got something wrong up there in your head and your actions are gay. You can change that. You wear super high pants and think its cool then find sarah. She makes sure she can change your mentality and change that. But im short and who do i go to for help? Get a bouncer to carry me everwhere i go so that i appear taller and can look down on you?
Let me quote another example. You;re the perfect geek every love to hate. Ok take Simon. Change that nerd specs to contacts or find a cooler framless specs (if thats in.. i dunno i dun wear specs). Change your freaking long football socks because you dont have to worry about your leg hair, the long pants cover it up already. Loosen the buttons at your pants by your side and let them loose and hang by your hips. If you have bug bunny teeth, find the oh-so-scary dentist or orthodontist and wear braces for goodness sake.
Ok so im short (pls dun tink i feel good typin this word cos i dun) Then what you want me to do? Wear high heels? Wear extra padding shoes at the soles? Come on, i cant be bothered to spend money on the latest fashion and accesroies let alone this artificial shit to aid my disguise as a tall guy.
I dont know if you see my point but i want to shit now. Yes now. So if i see another person suan'in me again its either 1. he doesnt visits my blog or 2. my persuasive and first hand account writing is going to fail. I hope its not the latter for i do not like the prospect of knowing i suck at writing essays and GP. (if gp is related in any sense..) With that, i end.
ps: i dont like this post. it'll probably cos a stir among thoes hu read this but heck.
and anyway i actually am used to people suan'in me already and if people stop now suddenly
i wun like it one bit. so... morale? carry on suanin me, tt way i noe u're honest. :P

You know what? I hate Blog-hoppers. I seriously hate them. They surf from one blog to another blog, even if they dont know that person. If you're one of them, do hit the Alt and F4 button now. This is an official warning and an outright disclaimer. But if you still choose to stay, well i cant do anything can i?
What is it about height anyway? I dont see why it is a plus point at all. Sure, it helps u take stuffs from high shelves. Sure, the air u breathe is fresher. But aesthetics is all about proportion, not height. Perhaps u guys havent heard about the cavemen story on how height became an important factor for beauty nowadays. Maybe I should enlighten you? Indeed, I shall. For those of you who have read this before, please read it again because obviously u dont get the point.
Once upon a time very very long ago, the earth was only populated by Cavepeople and perhaps some sabertooth tigers. The Cavepeople were divided into groups by their height, becuase the taller ones are usually the stronger and more successful. The tall cavepeople are leaders because it is more possible for them to find food as they are the ones who can reach higher up the trees for fruits, and go deeper into the rivers to catch fish. Not unexpectedly, they run faster too (longer legs, longer strides), thus they dont get killed by the said sabertooth tigers.
The leaders of the pack, aka the Tall Cavepeople, decided one day that Tall is good, Tall is beautiful, Tall is everything nice. Being tall cavemen, they wanted tall cavewomen too, so that the cavewomen dun look so stubbed (I dun think there is such a word, but heck.) standing beside them. Besides this, tall cavewomen cannot claim that they are too short to wash clothes in the river without being washed away. The cavemen liked this point! So they started to make Tall Cavebabies by only letting the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewomen have sex. And boy did they have sex! They "oooh!" and "ahhh!" all day long in the day, mating and mating.
Slowly, the Short Cavepeople foresaw what is going to happen to them. You see, God was fair and mighty in those days, and he made the short cavepeople smarter instead of taller and stronger. The Short cavepeople knew that with more Tall Cavepeople, they would be kicked out of the gang to become outcasts pretty soon, and be bullied more. The Short Cavepeople were totally against the idea of the fruit of Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman's labour. And they were short. So they cant do much about it, except whine the whole day and give the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman a kick whenever they passed by that eventful cave. Not that the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman noticed of course.
The Average-height Cavepeople were pissed with all the pandemonium. In fact, they were pissed with almost everything. They were the only type of people God seems to be unfair to. God gave them half brains and half height. In fact, the Average-height Cavepeople were so pissed with the constant moaning of the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman, and the constant whining of the Short Cavepeople, that they cant take it any longer. They took out a parang (a kinda knife their kind invented) and slaugthered the shit outta Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman.
It may be interesting to note that Tallest Cavewoman was killed exactly when she got her first orgasm, also marking the first pre-historic orgasm ever (She was 13 and stood at 1.87m) in the records of history. From then on people concluded that girls like excitements such as being threatened with a parang while having sex and therefore came bondage and sado-masochism. Anyway, we can imagine the aftermath of the bloodshed. The tall cavepeople were very angry with the Average-height Cavepeople for the unreasonable killings of the Tallest of their kind. They decided they shall tolerate no more of such nonsense, and with a huff, they took the pre-historic heels they made for their then-still-not-that-tall cavewomen and left the place. Without the Tall Cavepeople's help to catch food, the rest suffered significant losses in their meals. Secretly the smart Short Cavepeople were inventing fishing rods and arrows and spears for easier gaming, and they once tried to teach the Average-height Cavepeople how to use those things, but they were just to dumb to learn.
Instead, the average-height Cavepeople decided that it was the Short Cavepeople's fault for whining in the first place, and started to beat the Short Cavepeople up whenever they can. The Short Cavepeople, being kind-hearted fellows actually, started to decided it IS their fault that the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman got killed. With the beatings and the guilt, they could take it no more and migrated in an opposite direction to the Tall Cavepeople. The Average height Cavepeople were in a loss. Now, they were lazy bastards and were very happy with the Short Cavepeople's catches but now that both the Tall and Short were gone, they had no food. So they secretly followed the Short Cavepeople, and stopped a few hundred of kilometres away from them, because they discovered that their country has a few nice islands. A few earthquakes which split the earth and a few billions years later, the Tall Cavepeople found themselves in Paris, and that's why the supermodels all got "great height". The phrase "looks like a model" was actually a shortened form of "Looks like a living model of the Tallest Cavewoman". The Short Cavepeople, now having evolved into wimpy people not willing to voice any opinions (and not to mention, short), were actually there before Sang Nila Utama came to our sunny island, called Singapore. The barbaric Average-height Cavepeople, being stupid, can only watch from a distance the success of the Short community (of course they will succeed because they are smart) with a very sore eye.
They, up to this day, still bully the Short community because the Short community is tolerant and good-natured. One day, we will reach up to our limits and fire all the "Average height" workers working in our country. We see how they will survive! Alright! So now u know why height is seen as being important in our society. However, nobody stopped to think that ladders have render tree climbing useless. Boats have rendered deep river fishing useless. Cars have rendered escaping from wild animals useless, not to mention that the Sabertooth tiger is extinct. So height has no use whatsoever nowadays. It is just and age-old tradition that tall is good. Anyway long legs will get entangled in bed, so short people are better sex partners. Tall is good, but short is better. Dont be one of those stupid people so influenced by society's view. After all, short people tend to live longer. Look at those Japanese.
If this looks strangely familiar to you, well then you arent very obedient are you? To have read this thus far proves that you're not a simple person.
Anyway, i screwed my Eng Oral and its O lvl mind you. So there goes (perhaps) my A1 for Eng. I guess the one factor contributing to this is maybe beacuse the topic's crappy. Sure is, to me. But anyway, library@orchard is a conducive and decent place to go to if you wanna study. One thing though, it takes time to travel. And going to town, orchard in this case, doesnt really appeal to me now at this time of the year. I prefer chilling there after the O's. So if you need a studying partner, esp if u intend to go library@orchard, FIND ME. Just call me at 1800-darren-study-pls. If you dont want that specific venue, anywhere is also fine with me, though your house might sound fun :)

What is it about height anyway? I dont see why it is a plus point at all. Sure, it helps u take stuffs from high shelves. Sure, the air u breathe is fresher. But aesthetics is all about proportion, not height. Perhaps u guys havent heard about the cavemen story on how height became an important factor for beauty nowadays. Maybe I should enlighten you? Indeed, I shall. For those of you who have read this before, please read it again because obviously u dont get the point.
Once upon a time very very long ago, the earth was only populated by Cavepeople and perhaps some sabertooth tigers. The Cavepeople were divided into groups by their height, becuase the taller ones are usually the stronger and more successful. The tall cavepeople are leaders because it is more possible for them to find food as they are the ones who can reach higher up the trees for fruits, and go deeper into the rivers to catch fish. Not unexpectedly, they run faster too (longer legs, longer strides), thus they dont get killed by the said sabertooth tigers.
The leaders of the pack, aka the Tall Cavepeople, decided one day that Tall is good, Tall is beautiful, Tall is everything nice. Being tall cavemen, they wanted tall cavewomen too, so that the cavewomen dun look so stubbed (I dun think there is such a word, but heck.) standing beside them. Besides this, tall cavewomen cannot claim that they are too short to wash clothes in the river without being washed away. The cavemen liked this point! So they started to make Tall Cavebabies by only letting the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewomen have sex. And boy did they have sex! They "oooh!" and "ahhh!" all day long in the day, mating and mating.
Slowly, the Short Cavepeople foresaw what is going to happen to them. You see, God was fair and mighty in those days, and he made the short cavepeople smarter instead of taller and stronger. The Short cavepeople knew that with more Tall Cavepeople, they would be kicked out of the gang to become outcasts pretty soon, and be bullied more. The Short Cavepeople were totally against the idea of the fruit of Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman's labour. And they were short. So they cant do much about it, except whine the whole day and give the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman a kick whenever they passed by that eventful cave. Not that the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman noticed of course.
The Average-height Cavepeople were pissed with all the pandemonium. In fact, they were pissed with almost everything. They were the only type of people God seems to be unfair to. God gave them half brains and half height. In fact, the Average-height Cavepeople were so pissed with the constant moaning of the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman, and the constant whining of the Short Cavepeople, that they cant take it any longer. They took out a parang (a kinda knife their kind invented) and slaugthered the shit outta Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman.
It may be interesting to note that Tallest Cavewoman was killed exactly when she got her first orgasm, also marking the first pre-historic orgasm ever (She was 13 and stood at 1.87m) in the records of history. From then on people concluded that girls like excitements such as being threatened with a parang while having sex and therefore came bondage and sado-masochism. Anyway, we can imagine the aftermath of the bloodshed. The tall cavepeople were very angry with the Average-height Cavepeople for the unreasonable killings of the Tallest of their kind. They decided they shall tolerate no more of such nonsense, and with a huff, they took the pre-historic heels they made for their then-still-not-that-tall cavewomen and left the place. Without the Tall Cavepeople's help to catch food, the rest suffered significant losses in their meals. Secretly the smart Short Cavepeople were inventing fishing rods and arrows and spears for easier gaming, and they once tried to teach the Average-height Cavepeople how to use those things, but they were just to dumb to learn.
Instead, the average-height Cavepeople decided that it was the Short Cavepeople's fault for whining in the first place, and started to beat the Short Cavepeople up whenever they can. The Short Cavepeople, being kind-hearted fellows actually, started to decided it IS their fault that the Tallest Caveman and Tallest Cavewoman got killed. With the beatings and the guilt, they could take it no more and migrated in an opposite direction to the Tall Cavepeople. The Average height Cavepeople were in a loss. Now, they were lazy bastards and were very happy with the Short Cavepeople's catches but now that both the Tall and Short were gone, they had no food.

next up. national day. we went shopping at expo and i bought alot of branded underwear. (hehe no need wear john's one anymore. each time i slept over there, i got new set of clothes. and i must tell you i slept over at his place every week in lower sec days. i swear almost every week. john's my gay-pal from dhs co by the way. cooooool dude.) anyway there's renoma, hush puppies, bum equipment and levis and so on... then i realise the sports sale is nth much at all. after that went tm to eat the new chinese restaurant ting tai feng. its high class ultra posh and expensive and all that but my sister reckons the food is so-so. i say its nice. the dumpling ,being thier specialty, is really delicious.

First of all the LOST you are watching now is kinda crap. First of all because it's only the first season,and thus the last episode tells u nuts about wat is the "monster" or any other mysteries like wat is in the hatch and something. zz
Scroll down to find out who's going to die. =D
Charlie is seemingly dead this time round but after some poundings on his chest by jack,he survives. what the??? ok since u scrolled down,i'm gonna tell u that boone's the first main character who is going to die,due to a fall from another plane they found in the forest later on. OOOOPS.
After that,the next to die is a bloody stupid high school teacher. when handling wif dynamites in later episodes (the dynamites were acquired from a ship that was known to tanya as the black rock), he blew himself up and that episode was funny lol
Maybe the next episode on tv is gonig to show the 4 people,sawyer,jack,sayid and kate going to hunt that itern (i dunno how to spell his name. the version i downloaded had it's subtitles in spanish!) and when they got hold of itern and ready to fire him a massive amount of questions,charlie appeared out of nowhere and fired him a shot. in actual fact. 5 shots =D. itern slumped down dead. the 4 others were f***ed up. they spent do much time catching him alive and there this charlie has to ruin it. so.. it just means the director also wanted itern dead if not itern has to answer a lot of questions which the director himself doesn't have the answer yet lol.
scroll down to find out about the "monster"
The last episode of this season shows only a fume of black smoke or cloud,which is seemingly the monster pulling out trees. and while the trees are pulled,mechanical sounds can be heard but that's not important. ok so it's just black cloud.
Ok the following are just my deductions.
having read michael crichton's "prey",you would have easily guessed that the smoke or cloud are actually nano particles. or rather,nano robots. if till now you still dunno wat's nano technology,why don't u go fill your time up wif something more worthwhile like reading up on nano techs instead of watching "lost" =D
And in the last episode,when the raft is built,and they sail out,they meet the "mysterious other beings who were in the shape of humans trying to abduct the little black boy away". only nano robots can reform themselves into anything so i have 99 percent confidence i'm rite.
ps :flame me if i'm wrong when the 2nd season of LOST goes on tv =D
Oh and the hatch. wat's in the hatch? ok so they blew the hatch up wif the dynamites and it just shows the hatch leading very very very deep into the ground,seemingly an endless passageway down to hell. =D after that,TA DA, the show ends. fark this season. =D
And btw,sawyer got shot in the last episode i dunno if he's dead or wat. he was on the raft,the nano robots shot him,he went down into the sea,jin went down to save him and michael watched helplessly as his son,the little black boy was taken away. sadistic ending.
----ok.. i got this whole shit from wengseng hu posted this on fwenster bulletin.. just tot u wuld want to noe..

vjc's robot. they are a cute team with two cute girls come to think of it. we borrowed voltmeters from them. thier robot look like some chaos two from robot war. spikes that seem to tear ur robot apart when raised and then VOOM come down. but dun haf la. haha. stainless steel? the metal looks so..... machine and savage...
Singapore Chinese Girls' School robot. See the scorpion? Cool aint it. The eye's are red led lamps mind you. It is red light from two small mini light bulbs running on electricity. The scorpion is flanked by two round things. Go on. Awe at it. The fan is supposedly meant to keep the motor and everything inside the robot cool. To me its not very pratical as there really isnt much heat to talk of within the robot. It is meant more for design purposes mainly. Fans running at high speeed. Cool huh? then the casing, housing or cover is if i never remember wrongly taken from some computer part? I cant rmb. It could be custom made. As in own made. Mind you these robots are meant to be built by yourself and not pay some expert to do it. And when the fan is on, blue neon ight is given off. Ok la just blue neon light bulbs la. I like the colour. Check out the control buttons like the ON/off. Even design muz be considered before choosing the correct button to be used. You see they carry the words "fuse" which obviously wasnt. Inside is complicated wiring stuffs that you don;t wish to know. A girls team did dis robot of course with mr gilbert and co help. I was periodcially there when they built this robot for it was a shared workshop to go to to build our robots. Of course in comparison our robot looked much simpler.
