World Pencil Day is not today, exactly. It was yesterday. I just read in some magazine that it was world pencil day, and since magazines are infamous for making up stuff, I didn't believe it 100%. But since the magazine gave a date as well (1985 or something like that), it might be correct.
Then I thought about the coincidence of it. World pencil day in the middle of my AS exam and one day before SPM. Coincident right?
I wonder how they invent the pencil. Maybe it's just that they've been wtiting with carbon all the while but hate the fact that it stains the hands, so they covered it in wood. I wonder too which came first, pencils or pens. Then I remembered those quil thingies that are probably considered as pens so maybe pens came first.
So if it's World Pencil Day, does it mean we get to celebrate pencil skirts too? You know, since it is named after the pencil... Then we should be wearing pencil skirts on that day. One small glitch: I don't own one. So I can't show that I celebrate World Pencil Day. Since being in college and using pens, AND not wearing pencil skirts, does that mean I'm actually dishonouring World Pencil Day? Man, I should really get that skirt. Just so I won't feel guilty anymore.
Talking about pencil skirts, are we celebrating the phrase "pencil thin" too? So if we see anything (or anyone) really thin, should we say "It's(or she's/he's) pencil thin!" even though I've never used that phrase before because it's so wrong(seriously, everything is always either thicker or thinner then pencil so saying 'pencil thin' is so inappropriate), just because it's World Pencil Day?
Wait, how do I honour World Pencil Day? Help! It's seriously no use knowing that a day is 'World Pencil Day' if I don't even know how to project my appreciation of pencils in the first place. I mean, does mechanical pencils work? Because it technically uses carbon too... which makes a pencil... a pencil. I'm lost here!

France, Bond and Food
Today, it seems, I've learned very few things of importance. Well, at least I've learnt something right? Which means that living today is not entirely pointless in the existence of the universe. Things I learned today:
1. The 'Bond' characters sign a contract of a limited number of Bond movies they can make. They actually can't star in more Bond movies no matter how good a Bond they are. Explains the less-than-gorgeous Bond for the latest movie(which I haven't seen because of the exams). They also have to be British. Okay, most of you'll probably know this by now, but hey, I'm learning!
2. The tertiary education in France is (gulp! gasp! whisper...) free!!! Can you believe it? Me neither. So far, I don't know how accurate this is but if it is, I'm definitely studying in France later. Learning french is not bad either. Especially if it won't kill me as fast as English! (If you have no clue what I'm talking about, refer my one of my previous post.
3. My baby brother is extremely sensitive when it comes to food. I could always tease him and play with him about everything else just hands off his food. He asked for a PB&J sandwich (at 10pm!) just now. When I pretended to be interested in his food and wanted to eat it, he actually bawled! He's almost 4 so bawling is not very common at that age.
4. My father didn't know that the computer speakers are spoilt. He was aking me why they're spoilt. Like, hello!! Like I'm the God of Computers and could answer that particular question(that'll be Bill Gates). If I knew I'd be repairing it already and not sitting around waiting for my father to send for repair/buy a new one. Since music is my life, it's not very nice letting my iTunes going unheard.
Told you I learnt very few things today. And I'm not even sure number 4 counts. True, it's what I learnt today but not exactly education-wise right? Wait, there's number 5.
5. Grace says 'exactly' with high emphasis on the -ct so it sounds like exackt-ly. And she's moving to a new apartmen so she needs my help in moving. (Actually, my car's help, more like).
Yea, number 5 is not exactly an earth-shaking discovery seeing how close i am to Grace. I should have noticed her words earlier. I don't see myself as a very non-observant person but I guess I could be wrong. Or maybe it's the exam stress which is making me notice things which I usually don't notice just so that I'll get a break from the overdose of education. Which made me realise, what the hell am I doing talking about educational things in my blog?! I should be so sick of it that I would be avoiding it at all cost! I'm still blaming it on the stress. I'm wearing that t-shirt I have that says 'Facts Are Stupid' tomorrow(it's with a picture of a girl reading a book upside down). Okay, maybe not to college. That kind of rebellious behaviour is a bit too obvious. Maybe I should wear the top that says 'I made it to school, what more do you want?' with a picture of a sleeping figure. Whatever. Maybe I'll just let my mood tomorrow decide what I should wear to school.
Ciao.

Learning Outcomes
The things I learnt yesterday and today:
1. Tiger Woods' handicap is -6 (negative!). Well, technically, if it's negative it's not a handicap anymore is it? Poor Tiger Woods, imagine playing golf with someone handicapped 20. His overall score has to be added by a whole 6! Well, it pays to be too damn good at something.
2. Last minute studying doesn't work for A-Levels exams. Especially Chemistry. Let's just hope I don't get a D.
3. The Haber process. It is making ammonia out of nitrogen and hydrogen. Conditions, high pressure of 250atmosphere, moderate tamperature of 450degrees Celsius and with the presence of iron catalyst. Oh well, at least the knowledge os good for something.(You've really got to bear with me)
4. Growing wisdom teeth hurts like hell! And I have to give up chocs! (well, I learnt this in the last few days.)
5. Mohan only looks at me when I'm saying something about YY. Wish he'd look at me like that in class when I have no idea what he's talking about and need his help in some stupid Econs question.
6. After reading Deception Point, my third Dan Brown book, I see the one thing three of his books have in common. All of them has a people taking instructions from an anonymous caller. Like the bishop and albino in Da Vinci Code, the butler in Angels and Demons and the Delta group in Deception Point. I think that's why he decided to stop writing for a while, because his ideas are a bit too similar in his books.
7. Sleeping late before an exam totally takes it's toll on me. My brain was so slow during Chemistry that I think if I didn't study too late last night, I might have known more about Chemistry. I certainly would have not taken too much time to answer one question.
There you go, all the things I've learnt today and yesterday. I've just realised that it's a good thing knowing what I've learned. I feel more worthy of living in this world knowing there is something knowledgeable. Maybe these knowledge will be useful. You never know, I could be chatting with Tiger Woods one day and he might just test me on my knowledge of 'his golf' which, obviously, is most of his life. Then, I would get his question right and we might just fall in love and we'll live happily ever after in golf world. Bet you never knew his handicap. I'm one step ahead of you in getting his attention, so the probability of me being with hime just increased 0.0001%. Ha!
You know, my previous entry about the Money/Shells? I wonder what will happen if I send it to a local magazine/newspaper. Think they would publish it? I really need to let the world politicians know about my point of view a bout the currency. Hey, they might actually consider it and we'll live a better life beacause of some Cowry shells. Think about it. I might actually have a point!

Money, Money, Money
Had my Economics exam today. And it sucked. I totally ruined my chances of getting an A by mixing up my facts. Which was really stupid when I think about it because it's such a straightforward question.
Economics suck anyway. Just like everything we learn in school, why is there someone to discover them so that we'll have to learn them? Take money for example. Who the hell came up with the 'fantastic' idea of money? As far as I know, money just creates more problems than actually solving any. Like 1000 years ago, people used shells as the medium of exchange. We should really consider it all over again because it's so not troublesome to go to a shop and say, "I want that scarf'," and be met with a reply "15 shells please." Shells are interesting and not troublesome and makes things very much more uncomplicated. Most of all, it doesn't need a whole new 'study' and way to function called Economics.
First of all, there'll be no exchange rates to be a problem. The whole world is using shells(!), so we don't need to know the 'fall' and 'rise' of exchange rates. And we don't need to know 1 euro equals to how many US dollars. The so-called 'problem' of the breakable shells could actually be an advantage because then they're less likely to be carried of by thieves without breaking some(Get my drift?). It also makes it difficult for thieves to carry large amounts(imagine 5000 shells). This discourages thefts (and definitely snatch thefts) which is definitely a good thing. Plus the shells could always be strengthen by those toothpaste in those comercials that uses shells for demonstration. The other point is that it would be immensely hard to make copies of shells, so it could be counted that forgeries would not be a problem.
The best oint is, since shells are very uncomplicated and simple, a whole 'economics' term would not exist and would not be fussed on. There won't be 'economics crisis' all over the world and it definitely reduces stress in thinking too much about money. Less marriages will be destroyed 'money problems', less dirty work will be done in politics and less war would be declared. Overall, the world would definitely be a happier and much peaceful place to live in if we use shells instead of money.
Coincidentally, as I was driving home from college, the song 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous' came on the radio. I think part of the song is true(though a bit hypocritical since the singers are probably rich and famous themselves because of that song). One of the line says, 'Money is such a problem' which is true! All these rich people wants to live an easy life and one way to do that is to get more money. Which comes to my conclusion: The 'Economy' is invented by rich people who wants ot be richer than they can imagine. Honestly, do you think those less fortunate people give a damn about money and how it works? Not likely. They'd be too busy building close relationships with people around them instead of with money.
Life with shells instead of money really isn't all that bad. But it's just my own point of view. After all, you might think 'Why fix something that is not broken?' (pun intended). Please excuse me. those who are pbsessed with money. Me? I'm not obsessed with money. Just LUXURY.

Festivities and Shoes
Today is the 10th day of Aidifitri. So far, this year is not as fun as the past years, what with me being in the middle of my AS finals and my brother being just a month away to his SPM. I really should be studying now because my Math Statistics paper is tomorrow. Statistics! It's like the topic in math that I hate he most. Can't believe I have to do a whole paper about it for finals.
When we went for Raya shopping, my mum bought me some sort of lip gloss from MAC. It's a new line in MAC called Lip Varnish and the effect is like putting on lipstick with clear gloss. I love it! The shade I bought is called 'Cute yet Sexy' (cute name right?) which is sort of a dull pink colour. Then, I got shoes. This nice deep brown(to go with my raya outfit) peep-toe sling-back wedges form MNG. Actually, I saw a slightly prettier pair in Guess but it's buckeld and I don't want them because those buckled shoes are so troublesome, especially when I need to take them off and put them back on again very often. Trust me, going for 'Raya' at various houses barely keeps the shoes on my feet. So why bother for shoes? Well, since we keep on taking them off and putting them on again, people would definitely notice what shoes I wear. Plus, if someone steps out of the house and see a fabulous pair, they would think, Whoa, I woder who owns that. Then, I come out and step nicely into the shoes which will definitely get some awstruck reaction. Well, actually, if I want to be totally truthful, the houses we go to during raya are of old people, so actually, they wouldn't tell the difference between Louis Vuitton and Bata. But a girl can always dream, can she?

Speaking English
This video I found is very interesting. And kinda true when you think about it...
This video actually made me consider to start writing my blog in another language or something. Why the heck are we still speaking English, people? Haha, just kidding. But what other explanations can there be?
The reasons that I haven't updated my blog in so long is:
1. Examinations! Doing my AS exam already and there is seroiusly no time to fool around. (Yea, right!)
2. My father hid the cable connecting the computer to electricity. I can't switch on the computer for two weeks! Imagine life without computer.... ssscaryy..... All because my brother's taking his SPM. Why should I be punished too?
3. My father's laptop (our only access to the internet) can't be switched on either. We're still trying to find out the reason (My father's working)
4. Sheer laziness to find another computer with internet connection.
So there you have it. Four reasons why I didn't update. Goes to show that my blog will never be famous. At least not as famous as I already am! Haha... Just kidding (again). My next paper's this coming Monday. Wish me luck, guys! All the best to moi!!!

Lack of Food
Finally, the puasa month's here. So, I'm in college right now during break time, fasting. After watching them eat Carbonara spaghetti in the Seaview place. I have no idea why I put up to temptation by watching them eat, but I guess have nothing better to do.
The college newsletter is out today. And since this is the first time the newsletter is published since I join the team, I was quite eager to read it. My feedback? It sucked. Big time. I feel embarassed to be associated to something that disastrous. No offence to the rest of the team, but I really don't like it. Firstly, there's no 'news' written in the newsletter. There's a total of only 6 categories, the fonts are super big, no events were actually reported in the college. Overall, I think it's just a big flop. It's no wonder less than 20% of the student body knows there is a college newsletter. For having 40 odd members, I seriously think we could do better than this.
