Stupid Test to Pwn Me (STPM)

Who can guess how many days, hours, minutes and seconds left before STPM starts?
And how long more till it ends?

No clue? Haha guessed so...

The answer is in my newly added countdown timer located on the right side of my blog. =)

EDIT: End of STPM countdown timer is now active!! Brace the coming freedom!! =D

I'm too smart to be waken up by your average alarm clocks...

EDIT: My new alarm clock position - pictures say a thousand words XD
Can you see it?




Can you see it now? =D

















As some people already know, I can sleep anywhere and anytime. So, sometimes its extremely hard to wake me up even if you bodyslammed me (like what Kee Peng did), poked me (like what Chung Kent did), or even activated my alarm clocks.


Okay this is what happens when I fail to wake up. Your average alarm clock normally has 2 buttons, a snooze/light button and an off switch which is harder to press. Somehow, every time the alarm rings, I turn it off instead of snoozing it.

This morning, I wanted to wake up for football. As I slept pretty late, *cough*3.30am*cough* I set 3 alarms to wake myself up. First off, is the conventional bell ringing alarm, which is so loud it could be heard by the neighbours. Second alarm is the digital ringing alarm. Lastly, its my multi-purpose handphone. First to ring was the digital alarm. As expected, I sub-consciously turned it off, eventhough the off-switch was behind the alarm clock. Second was the bell ringing alarm. It was loud enough that I woke up, and press the snooze button consciously. Finally, when both my handphone and the snoozed alarm rang together, I woke up to bath.

Sometimes I wonder if there are people like me out there, and turns out, there is!! That's why they invented these nifty gadgets:

The 10 Most Annoying Alarm Clocks
#10 - Climbing clock

It hangs above your head and starts climbing while it rings. Don't wake up fast enough, and you won't be able to shut it up without a ladder.
So that's the reason I see a ladder in your bedroom... XD

# 8 Wake or Curse

You can ask it what the time is and it will answer. But if you don't wake up quickly enough it will curse you.
OMG!!! Curse you!!


# 7 High Tech

This acoustic grenade will wake the neighborhood with it's ultra loud sound level.
Fire in the hole!

# 1 Hide and Seek

The winner is the hide and seek alarm clock. Once it begins to ring it falls down to the floor and finds a random place to hide. Chase it down or else you're doomed.
This was created and designed by a group of university students and was featured on the Discovery Channel as an innovative invention.
Now just one problem, where can I get me one of these? XD

Scoring high sux...

Yes, there's not typo here, it says scoring high marks in exams sux... Why? Today, I've been reminded how I dread scoring highest in any subject, or in this case, any paper.

When I was form 1, I grew lazy and eventually ended up in a not-so-good class in Form 2. Then I swore I would get my marks back up and started working extra hard in Form 2. At the end of the day it was all worth it as I was 'upgraded' to a better class in Form 3... or so I thought.

It started when I was Form 3 in SMDU. Most of the students in my class were relatively smart, so some of them tend to be a little kiasu. They would literally hunt for the person who scored higher than themselves. If one were to score higher in a subject which he/she usually dominated, he/she would curse you for life. Even if he/she scored better the next term. Being me, I tend to copy the traits of people around me. So I got a little kiasu as well. Not in the sense that I'll hunt for the higher scorer, but I'll go around asking for their marks.

Here comes the sad part, whenever I got marks which was above top 3 in class, I would get discriminated. No one would even ask me questions regarding the exam. On top of that, they would remember my marks (even better than me) and use it as an excuse not to talk to me.
Example: "Aiyah I know you get 88% la now get lost!!"

Today, just like deja vu, I scored relatively high marks highest for Maths paper 2 in my class. Whenever I asked anyone for their marks, the response was "aiyah lower than you la" or "I know you get highest la" then I was completely ignored. The fact is, I like to gain more knowledge, so I don't really consider studying a bad thing at all. Only when this sort of thing happens, it discourages me to study harder.

As of today, STPM is only 40days away and yet I'm feeling this way. Right now, I'm thinking I should aim for a B or B+ instead of an A. Maybe that way, I'll lose less friends.

HTML Madness!!!

After much thought, I'm planning to ditch my friendster blog and continue blogging in this one.

So I took the effort of reorganising my blog page. But the freaking HTML drives me crazy!! When I added the ShoutMix chatbox, it became an adverlets ad, so I removed all the ads and start over.
Still, the problem persists...

If anyone may lend me a hand, and also a few tips and tricks in decorating blogspot blogs, it would make my day. =)
