Google Search

Sorry that i have not completed reviewing your blogs....i guess nobody has asked me to review their blog anyway :S.

Here is some entertainment. Each line represents a different site which can be found with that google search (they arent all 'i'm feeling lucky', they may be second or third results).

Things to google search:

• manifest 08 sunday nakeyboy (i forgot how to find the other guy who took my photo)
• wongsta doesnt exist
• wongsta manifest / wongsta fight
• "wongsta" by itself will give you a listing of most of my content
• "code geass masturbate" will link to Danny Con's blog
• i hate you jitain and stamopoulos
• retarded poem. therefore / wow it's sparkly
• farn hungy/ hungy stooph / stooph farn / courtesy of the cousins
• giraffe house changing room
• harry lee strikes again
• the harry lee game / sneaky harry lee

BTW if anyone can find the site weldon made for me please tell me...

CLOTHING SAFETY

I was going to do a post about how people should be careful about the way they dress - or rather how i've almost been reconsidering some of my clothing choices due to not wanting to be "propositioned" (as wensi put it when i informed her that i wished to purchase a pair of thigh high boots) - but then Wong posted his blog review thing and I was like, damn I don't want to post and then not have anyone scroll down and read his post, and then I just got lazy and didn't post.

I have, however, been inspired to post again, this time with some pictures of the exciting food I made last night:

This was supposed to be flower-topped hamburger (you know, like in Rozen Maiden) but we only had a star-shaped mould that Matt bought from Singapore, as well as a bird-shaped one. Sorry, I didn't take a picture of the bird-shaped egg as it turned out badly/i forgot. Apologies.

The recipe I used for the hamburger was from Happy Home Baking, one of my favourite food blogs! Not that I, you know, spend a lot of time reading food blogs. Mostly just this one, which I think I got from a link on Viv's blog. Thanks viv. Also, the photos are from my phone, which excites me for some reason. ...yes.

I think I have to improve my food photography in future.

In other news, I have been doing many exciting things, such as watching 30 Rock. Recently, wong bought me a 30 rock calendar for Christmas!!!! YAY. Thank you won-won. I have hung it up on my wardrobe door, which means that I look upon Jack Donaghy's January face...fairly often. Other things I have been doing include: downloading Demi Lovato's album, watching anime, and feeling sad that wensi is going to china. Also, I have, sadly, quashed my urge to purchase the aforementioned thigh high boots...for now. Although I highly doubt anyone would mistake me for a prostitute/stripper. HM no i do not want to hear your thoughts on this subject.

Blog Review

A review of blogs in our group of friends. This is not an ordered list (it's 'ul' lol).

If you wish to be added to the list or if there is anything you would like to add to my review email me.

I will keep each review these short, and not in depth since I haven't read most of these blogs in great detail.Here goes:

UPDATED 21/1/10

Quotes, courtesy of the cousins of the century. - hungy, farn, (stooph seems to be removed from the site? she moved here)

SUBTEXT:For more lolz and fibre in your cakes. In memory of cousin Stooph, may she RIP. Dedicated to farn who's our other cousin

Another one of my favorites (SUBJECTIVE),

Fibrefood - Stephanie O
At the moment, there are only two posts, one about vce results coming out and one insanely long post detailing her comical moments with Omegle. So just have a look. For now.


Code Eva - Vincent C
Well. This site emanates the properties of it's author, self titled 'Vincent of the Revolution' (link lelouch).

His posts are varied - reviews,'slice of life' blogposts (such as his current maths camp stories/details), comments on school.... He also seems to have a 'current music' update at the top of each post, if you're into that sort of thing.

-Junc- Vincent L

First off...the writing style is quite interesting. Each paragraph is usualy populated with capital letters and emoticons of some sort (^^). Many slice of life posts, and things which Vincent finds interesting. Front page contains only lighthearted posts, so i assume the rest of the blog is like that, too.

camels indeed - Kristen W

Well. This site is differnt. It is completely text/plot(UNLIKE AVATAR) driven, and self contained - ie does not rely on large pictures,or links to other content. Most posts are slice of life.

Writingstyle: very conversational, use of ellipses ("..." that type of ellipses).

I said i wouldn't comment on the appearance but I do like the choice of colours. It is pleasing to the eye, and quite different from other blogs.

.::Emily's Blog::. - Emily G S

Another 'plot' driven website, for the mostpart, which relies on user created content. Personal posts are in abundance.
quote from site:

my blog is a collection of memories, events and thoughts worth keeping, willingly shared with the rest of the world.

http://iam-mai.tumblr.com/ Mai Blogs - it seems i do not know this person, perhaps ying would like to review this site

http://picturesoofyou.blogspot.com/ Another group site some of you may know about but i certainly don't. I don't know who runs the site either so i'm not reviewing it.

~*~WOW~*~ so sparkly! - Wensi C

PINK. PINK, I SAY.

In other news. This site is again plot driven, containing wensi created content. A unique point of this website (at least recently) is the posting of poems/short stories composed by wensi (i think they are, anyway.) Other posts are of daily life.


Stuff - It's a Noun - Harry L
This is only the blog section of the review, Harry's site extends beyond blogging....
Harry lee's blog contains some very interesting content (no offense to anyone else), such as social experiments, self created picture books, advant garde poems, and generally posts you won't find elsewhere. Here is an extract of a definitely NOT slice of life post.

I’ve always wanted to go to a classy restaurant with a cake in a little box, and just sit there. Select a nice wine, perhaps. And just sit there. Whenever the door opens, I’ll look up with a hopeful glance, but it won’t be her.

And when somebody tells me, “It’s closing time, you’ll have to leave,” I’ll insist, “No, no, she’ll come. She said she would come. She will be here.” Then the manager will come out and I’ll get more and more flustered, then burst into tears. I’ll meekly say, “Can I at least light the candles?” And I’ll light the candles and sing, through big fat tears, “Happy birthday to me… Happy birthday… to me…”

I’ll blow out the candles, and run out the door.

Sorry for my lack of professionalism :(.

It's raining jellybeans ^_^ - Vivian C
In our friend group, this is one of the longest running blogs - the earliest post was in 2005!. Not only that, but this blog is regularly updated. The content is usually slice of life blog posts (with accompanying photos).

Keg's Blog - Home of Fizixs Trio
Fizixs Trio is a webcomic (up to comic 11 atm) which is hosted on keg's blog. That alone makes the site worth checking out (anyone else running a webcomic?).

Besides the webcomic, the site consists of external links to things comical in nature. Good for alleviating boredom.

the bale-fire of that scarlet letter Fiona
Another 'new' blog with the first blog post on January 1st. Hard to tell at the moment what the blog will be like, but it contains many pictures and


Keeam_Davdom_Brendom's Blog -This is Keeam, Davdom and Brendom's BLOG!!! The one place you can escape from everything... Imagination Land :) Where u fart when you burp and you burp when you fart XD



ah shit i'm so tired i'l review the rest of the blogs later. BOOKMARK THIS AND COME BACK LATEDR U GUYS

Same Seiyuu, Different Role

Caution: this link is NSFW(not safe for work). I mean really NSFW - NSFW advertisements, NSFW post previews. If you are easily scarred, do not click any of the links on the page. After scrolling down a little, only the content will remain, however, which is completely SFW.

This is basically a list of voice actors and what roles they play in anime. The author has carefully picked the interesting ones (in the second comparison) so that you will be surprised (ie plays unsuspected roles).

Anyway just look at it. (part 1 of comparison NSFW NSFW NSFW!!) and here (part 2 of comparison NSFW NSFW)

I apologise for this post's incoherence, it is fairly late (2:15) and my eyes hurt.

oh dear

IT SEEMS MY SECRET HAS BEEN REVEALED.

Apologies to ***** LOL although i attempted to conceal your name and hence save you (and myself) from embarrassment, it appears that I have failed in this attempt. Now my true stalkerish nature has emerged.

Over the years I have become adept at stalking randoms. My friendship with Vincent, as well as the rise of Facebook, have aided me in this. I would go into this more but it is too embarrassing and actually not very interesting when i think about it.

Sadly, few of my stalkings have actually ended in true friendships. I have realised that this is because the relationship is onesided - my feelings of stalkerish affection for them far exceed their feelings of victimish fear!

In fact, if i think about it, I have not even been able to become friends with one stalkee as despite our apparent friendliness i still felt overly awed by him/her/it.

Thus, we may conclude that stalking is a potential threat to a potential friendship. (I use this term as a term for stalking ones who one is not really friends with but of course one can also stalk one's friends, which could result in issues also as one might find out things that could become potential sources of conflict)

... sadly i have not decided to stop stalking people. ANYWAY

I really like the avatar soundtrack! I like the song they play at the end of it. Even though it had boring/cliche plot/characters, I still liked the movie alot. I think this is due to its suck-in quality. I believe that this suck-in quality accounts for much of the movie's popularity, and may be more or less for different people depending on how much they value visuals/happy endings/cool scifi places. Wong did not experience the suck-in quality to a great enough extent to justify (for him) the movie's negative qualities. Hence, Wong did not like Avatar. 

wow this post sucks
anyway

SUMMARY (for lazy people):
1. Stalking is pointless and may chase away your friends (but oh well)
2. sorry ***** 
3. I like Avatar

Peeves

Many things have managed to "peeve" me off lately, including my own stupidity. My social retardation is also irritating me as I am unable to make friends with *****. OH NO. This is very disappointing for me as I find her extremely cool. Anyway...yes I shall continue to the end of the post before I decide whether or not I should erase/censor that. (sorry *****)

I would like to now share with you an interesting letter written by Nadia in Grade 4 (or 5). I believe this letter was written to either me or Viv, but cannot recall who was who.

"Dear Harry Pottyeryeryss,
I am a boy. I am am girl. I am a piece of noodle. I am clever. I am stupid. Who am I? I am a dragon! I am air. I am Fire. I am a piece of toast. I do not even know who I am! I am a drum. I am the STUPID Drum! I am a MYSTERY!!! Bye! Hi! Ha! Hum! Bye! See! Bun! Dun! Cut you open! Pencilcase! Noodles! Moon! Sun! Jewel! Slug! Cup! Pie! Dish! Bye! King! Queen! Princess! Prince! Plate! Bowl! Meowww! POW! WOW! BOW! CRUSH! CRASH! Ping! Pang! Pung! BOOM!
by From Peeves!"

Not sure what Nadia/Peeves was thinking at the time but she did seem very confused.

IB

HAHAHA I AM FREE OF IT NOW!

I feel rather relieved.

Although my life now seems slightly empty, i shall fill it with useful things such as:
- watching avatar/sherlockholmes/anime/30rock
- getting the remaining 40 hours of driving before feb 22nd (wth i feel panicked)
- trying to earn money...somehow
- regaining my oboe skills
- eating

Btw is anyone going to tutor?? I am actually thinking of tutoring chem...can't really think of anything else I can tutor. I am definitely not well qualified enough to tutor latin unless they really suck in which case i don't think there's much point (oh gosh that was rather harsh) i'll stop talking now.

hope everyone is happy with their results, or at least, not devastated - hopefully we'll all forget about them soon...

EDIT: ok now i've changed the post date to the actual date so it doesn't look like i somehow got my results before everyone else

fun stuff

THINGS THAT COULD BE TRUE BUT AREN'T ACTUALLY TRUE
My lips have been secretly collagen-injected. So have Victor's. Except mine malfunctioned and spread over my entire face.

THINGS THAT ARE TRUE BUT SEEM FALSE
I have been stopped on the street twice within the past 3 days by people trying to recruit me as a model. (WTHWTHWTH)

My family found the idea of both of these very entertaining. I hope you also find them entertaining, instead of being traumatised as i was.

In other news, met up with some plc's! Jadey is exceedingly nice. I like her very much. I also like Steph and Sue Wei and Vanessa. We had a fun time and watched some of 27 dresses (the guy is so cute <3) I kind of want to watch some movies. Keep hearing Avatar is really good or something. Why on earth did I watch new moon in cinema?!! (or at all) I also wish to watch the Hannah Montana movie. Wensi's review of it was very intriguing. Most recently I watched 500 Days of Summer on the plane hmmm the sound was rather bad, but it seemed likeable.

Must also stop stalking Alice's blog. This is hard.

Oh my. It is Christmas Eve in 15 mins! How not very exciting (apologies).

Oops i wanted to complain about/discuss the service in Singapore but this post seems overly long now. well well well. Perhaps you shall read another of my amazingly interesting blog entries soon.

happy birthday wong

Currently at the residence of the Wongs. It is a castle-like manor/mansion on the Upper East Side, here in VCE-ville. Fun is to be had by playing cards/talking/drinking vodka (straight from the bottle I SAW YOU ****** [not wensi])/eating pizza/doing nothing/playing piano.

Excessive amounts of food fill this house. It is disturbing even for a food-obsessed girl such as myself.

Moving on from culinary delights of Wong's family...

I have been doing many wonderful things since returning from my eventless schoolies week. As you may have heard, very little of note occurred during my time in Sorrento, except that we were forced to pay large amounts of money as compensation for the "damages" we had inflicted on the lovely place we were staying at. Speech night was also fun, as were the preceding rehearsals. Weather has been fluctuating greatly, providing some excitement for us. VCE scores also came out. This was exciting for some, even those such as myself who do IB.

(RAMA GOT 99.95 WTH)

Yeah still can't get over it (neither can wensi) lol.

(sunday)
well well well. i thought i lost this post, but it seems that blogger has handily saved it. thank you, my friendly webpage!

So. It seems i shall not be here for a while, not that I have been on this blog much lately either. Apologies, my loyal fans. I would however encourage you to redirect your sights to Wensi's blog, where she seems to be writing cool nonfanfic. Other exciting things that have occurred lately are that i have discovered that I like Big Bang Theory (they were watching it at wong's house before everyone else turned up and started playing ssb, where sam kept beating vincent SORRYVINCENT) i think i may have provided too much information now so i shall stop.

(maths science history unravelling the mystery that all started with a big bang BANG!)

I also like Tina Fey.

ahem. goodbye.

ahem

So i was flipping through the diary of the yr 7 me (lol) and in case you weren't acquainted with me back then, this is the kind of amazing thing i used to say:

"I don't get it, Katherine says she is beautiful yet she dresses like a boy."

Sorry Katherine. Yr 7 me was harsh. You are very beautiful.

(nearly there!!)

WTH

WHY ARE THESE EXAMS STILL GOING ON? SHOULDN'T THEY BE FINISHED ALREADY??

That's what you'd think, right? Well, that's what I'M thinking. Yet I have received no answers: only in the form of my excitement at the end of my exams on Thursday, 3:35pm.

PLEASE END IT ALREADY. I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

...Tacitus, I am sorry. Virgil, I am sorry. Purcell, I am sorry.

tangos

Just went to a concert by a group called Raga Dolls Salon Orchestra. Was expecting pseudo-classical Viennese waltzes, some of which they did play, but actually heard some cool GYPSYISH music. It was rather exciting. I like tangos! Especially Emily's tango piece, and the tango bg music in Bakemonogatari. ^___^

...yes viv this is in direct response to your post.

Anyway. Last week I was on the tram home from my Eco exam when two old men sat down opposite me. I was wearing this shirt.

($5 from cotton on, bought as a set of 5 for my wind quintet, No Strings Attached. Yes, I was very excited to find it. Sadly I did not consider the other implications of such a slogan, and in fact never do when wearing it. A mistake, perhaps.)

So I was sitting there and one of the old men kept giving me weird looks. After a while, he said something like this: "Ah, no strings attached - that's the kind of woman I like."
To which I replied: "Ah. Yes."

...a brilliant response.

The old men cackled.

Thankfully, the tram soon stopped and I got out. So did they.

I crossed the road and sat down at another tram stop, to make my way home. After a while, I looked up and yes, they were there, and yes, there was another comment:

Old man to other old man: "Look, it's the girl with no strings attached."

cackle cackle.

..and that is the end of my adventure with my No Strings Attached shirt. Sadly, I doubt i shall stop wearing it, despite the aura of disrepute it may give me. I am a Loose Girl. um..lol.

chem. UM WTH ARGH

Well. Exam #1, Chemistry, was not bad. I am not sure if i "won" but I do hope it was alright.

Not really much to say about this, except that I have a problem with the intensely staring, sl0w-speaking lady who conducts our exam. I suppose there might be a need for her to check over all our papers but must she stare at us so disapprovingly while we do our exams?! And why must they whisper so loudly??? :(

Hope everyone went ok, but it was a fairly standard exam imo (although I feel paranoid about getting the entire first question wrong...I can't tell if what i did was right or not). Also, those tags that are used to connect our hole-punched papers are so cool!

TWO WEEKS AND TWO DAYS.

EDIT: WTHOMGAKL;DSJFKL;DSAFJKL;DSAF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have just been informed that i screwed up question 1. Did not realise that the iron ions needed to be balanced to 5mol. WHAT ON EARTH. Must study for paper 3 now, I am appalled.

HIGHLIGHTS OF IB

while stuck in limbo waiting for dinner - waiting for exams - waiting for myself to stop procrastinating -

I decided to compile a list of my personal highlights of IB. However, this is not limited to academic highlights (in increasing order of highlightness):

5. unseens
4. maths portfolio (generally acknowledged as one of the major highlights of ib)
3. TOK essays (these were so great)
2. all music exams
1. eco classes

But seriously, I actually did enjoy IB quite a lot. Who knows why. Maybe it's because of:

- battle of the bands
- IB choir
- the ib vs vce battle in yr 12 video
- HL english classes
- composition recordings (strangely fun)

But the best part of IB would have to be:

experiencing the amazing thing that is IB-bonding. Not ionic, nor dispersion, but covalent; electrons of knowledge/aid were shared among atoms that would not break apart at low temperatures (but possibly at high ones), and which would always create large amounts of heat while being broken. I will miss the IB community as I plunge into a sea of delocalised electrons. Good luck everybody!

EDIT: can't stop listening to chocolate love for some reason..very weird

WONGEDIT: I have edited this blog so it now has two levels.

yi-ling's life

i have received complaints that i do not update this blog as much as i ought to. so, to follow the trend of various bloggers updating frequently of late, I decided to uh...update. don't let this stop you from reading wong's excellent posts, though. he rarely posts with inane information about his life (as i generally do). ahem. apologies.

current things that are inspiring me:
- the turtle print singlet i purchased from, yes, that wonderful place called Kmart, last week. With this, I can now showcase my not-so-unique awkward-turtle nature, as well as my great skill for creating awkward turtles, which is embodied in the amazing Turtle Print Singlet. It's almost as if i am a walking advertisement for awkward turtles! kind like i am endorsing Turtles, kind of like Nike, but not really. uh..yeah.
- Chiaki. Yes, I decided to procrastinate more and downloaded ep1 of Minami-ke Okaeri, ie. the apparently okay third season of Minami ke (vs. the wonderful first season and the vaguely repelling second season). I MISS THE SCARY FACES! : ( Other than that, Chiaki is still strangely endearing.
- four of my teachers have informed me that my writing is too small and very hard to read. I am now quite scared that my examiner may refuse to mark my paper. Hence, I have resolved to write more legibly. Well, it sounds easier than it is, okay.
- NO MORE 7:30AM WINDSYMPH REHEARSALS.
- kath's amazing dancing. she has a really inspiring pelvic-thrust move. it was so amazing that it induced an inspired rendition of Lacrimosa (from Mozart's Requiem) by Wensi.
- stooph talked to me today. inspiring.

Cannot believe there are so few days left of school. It's kind of dulling my anxiety for exams, the knowledge that ...well, this is the end. It's so surreal. I guess we have a lot of time to accept that school is nearly over though, with all the end of year events, but even so, I feel perpetually confused. Especially since we keep having classes for the last time, rehearsals for the last time - it's really strange to think, gosh i will never do this again. I mean, it's kind of like my world (based around school like the true nerd i am) is collapsing. No wonder I want to watch anime all the time.

...but don't worry. we still have our blogs.

Wongsta's Section

I got 9 questions wrong. More than 10 wrong and you got a disctinction or worse. I additionally didn't realize there was an electrochemical series on the quiz. Does that count as a anecdote?

This image should show you how my reality is not being dissolved away by the end of my schooling.

Shibuya Bang Bang Tang Plagiarizes Zetsubou Senseis Opening and K-ON's Music

I made this video. You know. Because I wanted to.

twitter

I signed up for an account on twitter around a year ago and posted approximately 5 times before giving up. Now, however, with the discovery of this, it seems that i have no choice but to let twitter make a comeback into my life.

...for those of you who are Glee fans but not Kurt fans, Sue Sylvester's twitter may incite more interest. (it's hilarious)

Quinn Fabray and Rachel Berry are also featured. Sadly, no Finn.

Glee is such a great show. With modern technology, crazed fans like myself can even procrastinate further and be drawn into things like twitter.

Speaking of which: my twitter account is frothy, although I ...doubt i will post much. Feel free to follow me, I am a very good shepherd.

Goodbye.

Undulatus Asperatus

My new favorite cloud.



From wikipedia:

Undulatus asperatus (or alternately, asperatus) is a rare, newly recognized cloud formation, that was proposed in 2009 as the first cloud formation added since cirrus intortus in 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas of the World Meteorological Organization.[1] The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves.[2]

This one gets bigger if you save it.



Reminds me of those mathematical fractals you can get. Sort of like the 4d fractal projected onto a 3d plane...except coloured in by the sun.

Monty Hall Answer

Sure, this has been done before. I just thought i'd write up my answer for this problem. I will assume you have read what the problem is already.

There are only two possibilities behind the door you pick: either a car or a goat. The probabilities for each are 1/3 for a car and 2/3 for a goat (before you do any switching etc).

Let us consider the first case, with the car behind the door you pick. Now the GSH reveals a goat. In this case, since the other, unrevealed door is also a goat, it would be best to not switch. Therefore, in the 1/3 case that you do have the car, you should not switch.

The other case would be if you had a goat. The GSH will unveil another goat. The unrevealed door now contains a car. In this case, you should switch, in order to obtain a car. However, the chance that this case is the one you have is 2/3.

This means that, overall, switching will be beneficial, since 2/3 times switching will will allow you to win.

I found this way of thinking through a little easier than the methods on Wikipedia. I'm not sure why. I hope my explanation is not wrong.

WTH

CANNOT BRING SELF TO STUDY. curse my decision to do Latin and Eco exams on same day. i should have stuck with my decision to do Eco first, so that i would get it out of the way. as it is, have no incentive.

in other news, i keep fighting with people! i am an assassin - one of the IB League.

um...yes.

EDIT: wow I can edit your post ying! Unfortunately i could not bring myself to study this morning because I was asleep. Actually I woke up early because my stomach hurt. However I had a trip to the pool and it was resolved.

Has anyone watched Genshiken?
