It is becoming increasingly frustrating to lounge around waiting for the O levels(death sentence?Oh the analogies it could spawn.) to arrive.

Sure, I'm studying. Very grudgingly.

It pains me to say that the O levels just happens to be a very inconvenient boulder of no consequence but must be dealt with (pushed off the road and into the sea preferably where it will become this little footnote in my life)if I want to move on.

Well I have some place to go so will it just budge already.

I was finally able to make a tribute to Mako who brought life to one of my favourite wise old man with a white beard.

I was satisfied with the essay and I can only I have done justice to his character as he would have if he trespassed upon this age and time.

Oh and also, writing speeches to convince the class to go for a class outing at East Coast Park.I think I threw tone, purpose etc out of the window and it made for a wonderful little lolfest exercise.


"How many couples have cemented their love while watching the sun set? We may not love each other with fiery passion but watching the sun set would certainly be a great memento..."

"We made the choice and if you have objections please kill Cha Cha instead.He insisted."

I may have gone overboard though.

Reading yey. So, for the past few weeks I have gotten really acquainted with some books and I would like to introduce them

This isn't for light reading and I feel vast improvements can be made.

First of all, the "bigger I am the more intellectual it makes the reader" has to go. Not everyone appreciates books which are as big as their faces.

The pictures are nice, illustrations are vivid. However, the literally possibilities are never fully explored. For example, instead of simply telling us that the mitochondria is like a factory, a story or perhaps even a character narrative on life inside the factory would have been insightful and we would gain something other than the fact that they carry out aerobic respiration so on and so forth.

If that is impossible. It could be a little more concise. Instead of droning on about molecular genetics and expecting people to understand what they mean when the chromosomes tango, more effective diagrams can be used.

It would have saved a lot of trees.

Okay, I've run out of criticism for school. Moving on.

There is nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon than to sunder into your least favourite neighbourhood library expecting to find a bored teen convention and then chancing upon a whole shelf of books that you've been wanting to borrow but were always on loan.

I took almost all the Neil Gaiman books. (yey!) Halfway through Fragile Things which is fantastic so far. The only complaint is that most of the stories seem left hanging in mid-sentence like the author was suddenly distracted by something else. Maybe they fit together in the end? Like a fragmented Ming Dynasty vase?

Sophie's World is finished. After speed reading the first time, I read though the philosophy lessons again. Granted, it's great introduction to western philosophy but it doesn't really reach any depth. Philosophies sometimes intertwine with science which just makes the entire thing even more muddled than before.

The protagonist is strange. If this really were to be considered wholly a fictitious books, it's one of the few that I have read which uses characters as vessels of information instead of letting them grow. Granted, the development is there but mostly as an afterthought.

Also, I suck at reading mystery. I flip to the back, figure out the entire thing and then it makes me feel antsy waiting for the ending while reading. Serves me right I suppose.

Ah, the second twilight post to grace this web page.

Ms Meyer says this book alluded to A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare. However, I remain skeptical.

I have read MSND. I have taken notes for it. I think I know the play. I have also hated it.(another topic for another day)

I don't see what she's trying to get at. Unless, by quoting that 'truth,reason and love keep little company these days' she meant her books which I must say, is a very apt way to describe her latest stab at young adult fiction.

Basically, it can be summed up as such.

Book 1: Sex and Swimming with dolphins.

Book 2: The thing that came from the uterus.

Book 3:Perfecting your Mary Sue and more implied sex. Also, how to end your ties with bad vampires diplomatically

You know what's worse than reading a bad book? Reading a bad book with potential and the author never once noticing it despite having written an entire series.

This post has been different. I haven't said so much in ages. It almost feels like posting thousands of pictures of myself with fake eye-lashes or eyes. Whatever it is people are pasting on their face nowadays.

Quick, what is the square root of -25?
