The one about the fun GP lesson.

It's not everyday that GP is fun, and it's definitely not everyday that you get to play an online game during the lesson.
mcvideogame.com
It's a simulation about managing the McDonald's Corporation where cows are burnt to ciders by a gargantuan torch if they've disease, employees spit in the people's food, and you get to corrupt important people to avoid lawsuits -what fun!
Five minutes into the game, the room was filled with a chorus of
"Zomg, where aren't there any cows??"
"Hahaha, my employee just spit into the customer's food and smiled!"
"HUH, my cow just turned green"
"Let's go corrupt another official!"
"My cow just turned into a skeleton, wth???!"

Now tell me how GP can't be fun.

The one about OneACS Day.

So last Wednesday was national day celebrations. You cannot imagine just how boring it was. If not for Mr Ngoei's amusing commentary, the whole thing would've been a total mess.
People were strolling in late, even while the marching band..marched. After the guest of honour came and we sang the anthem, and then watched the uniform groups march in. Since it was a OneACS thing, there were guys from secondary and primary ACS schools. When the primary school scouts marched in, people kept 'Ooohing' and 'Aaaaahing', because the 'lil guys looked so cute attempting to march(I say this, because their march resembled more of a casual stroll. But it was a CUTE casual stroll.)
Anyhoo after a looong time (and having a little boy collapse from the heat) they finally started and we sat there watching other people play games. Excuuuuuse me. I don't really see how we're celebrating by sitting impassively, watching a bunch of boys roll about on the field.
An hour into the event, people started heading (in droves) to the canteen near the pool. Peishan and I got bored, so we walked about trying to find a way out, but all the gates were being guarded. I suggested to Peishan that we use our feminine wiles and trick the primary school kids at the gates into letting us out, but she rejected the idea. I wonder why.
After some more pointless searching (getting desperate), I suggested going to the back of the toilets to see if there was a hole in the gate. We hurried there, sure that such a thing only happened in movies, but alas, there a hole was! After lots of deliberation, it was agreed that we would slip out if 1) I was able to squeeze out 2) I was desperate enough to.
I tested the limits that the fence would stretch because there were many rusty bits that I did not want stabbing into my face while I tried squishing myself out. After a looong period of deliberation and being interrupted by a fellow ACsian (outside the gate, and was amused by us!), I was finally about to try squeezing out unglamly, when some ACS International guys came over. Being small and skinny, they slipped through easily. After the second one slipped through, a pair of IB student councillors came over and spotted the whole, exclaiming. I swear it was so cartoon-ish.
In case you were wondering, we got locked in till the end of the event because the hole was spotted. Darn.

The one about the Meizu M8 miniONE phone.

Okay, I'm only putting this up so I can remind myself not to rush out to get a new cellphone.
Presenting, the Meizu M8 miniONE:

Sure it looks like a knockoff of the iPhone, but it has much better features, and a more reasonable price tag. If only it'd come out now.

The one about Heroes

Okay so it's finally out who the cast of Heroes are coming to Singapore, and it's gonna be held on Friday 31st August at Vivocity. Thank goodness for the school holiday given by acjc (to make up for the open house on the following saturday methinks), but I am majorly pissed because Zachary Quinto (Sylar) and Hayden Panettiere (Claire) aren't coming. It's a good thing they're sending Masi Oka here or it's be pointless to go.

It's stuff like this that makes Masi so lovable.

The one about TEH COOL GAMEZ.

Okay, I really have no idea why I decided to type like a nitwit.


Anyhoo, I want the game Overlord, because I derive a great satisfaction from sending my minions to terrorise villagers and fluffy sheep. Played the demo, and the whole idea of doing evil instead of the usual heroic shtick is actually quite refreshing. Moreover, worshipping minions always tickle the narcissist in me.
Though I'd have to get a better pc because the lag on my current one is just excruciating. Darn.

Scrounging for pumpkin helmets is teh shitz, no?

-I'm obviously not a very wealthy Overlord, my minions have to make their own helmets out of pumpkins.


On top of that, I want a new handphone. Damn the iPhone, now I want a touchscreen one .. Just not the (overated)iPhone mind you.
And ooh, oooh! An mp3 player! Unfortunately, Creative's newest offering is a revamped 16gb Zen V Plus Staring at the tiny screen for an entire episode of Heroes, Oh the wonders it does for the eyes!. Apple's Nano Red is kinda hot, but it only supports the mp3 format and can't play video's. On a brighter note, there's supposed to be a revamped Nano out this week, but the price is astronomical.


Note to self: Surround product with lots of hype and proceed to sell it at prices (that products with better and more features) are sold at. Don't worry, the nincompoopsconsumers will still lap it all up shrieking i have the i<_____>!! then buy (equally ridiculous) accessories like this

Now how am I gonna scroll? Hm....

Now how in the world am i supposed to scroll with that on??
