Guess what? i have NO idea what i'm going to be. No idea whether i'm going to the Science Stream. NO idea what's happening next year. Our schools should like educate us , like if you take this, you get this career. We all really should have counseling. Not like the ones we have here. And we SHOULD get to pick subjects we only need to learn. Like i'm not gonna be a freaking acturist or accountant, am i? So i DON't NEED to take add maths. Or geo if i don't want to be a geologist. They should follow the overseas way. The only reason why i'm not sure i want to go to Science is cos i'm scared i'll fail everything or let's say i decide to do something which has NOTHING to do with science. So i just wasted two years studying my arse off. See? Have you all decided? At least you all have. Everyone but me :
Oh this is the retardest video ever. Pls do watch if you feel like being a retard. haha :

The Host is a very good book. One of the nicest books i've read. It's not like Harry Potter or Eragon. It's not completely sci-fi. It's not a romance novel. And it's definitely NOT a retard book like Twilight. It's a sci-fi mix adventure and romance. The starting might be very confusing but if you have the patience to read it, it WILL pay off because it is a very well written novel. It is about life and love. It opens up another point of view about us humans and our world. It shows you how powerful love is and it teaches you to value your life. And it also shows us how cruel and violent our world is. It's true. Why don't you check out the newspapers today? All you see is violence, violence, cruelty, abuse and more violence. War this, war that. Honestly, I DON't THINK we even deserve our world. Look at what we did to it. Look at what we did to the enviroment. Anyways, please do read the sypnosis :
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away.
Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.
When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves—Jared, a human who still lives in hiding.
Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
____________________________________________________________Speaking of the environment, I don't understand why they keep advising us to oh, pay your bills online, do this online, do EVERYTHING online. Save paper. But did they know that as i am typing THIS, CO2 is being released into the atmosphere? Did they know that Google searches releases carbon dioxide? Did YOU all know that just by going online, viewing websites, Facebooking, reading the papers online, watching a video, DOWNLOADING stuff, it all pumps CO2 and burns fossil fuels and what not and therefore, it has a very HUGE carbon footprint. I bet you didn't know. SO whatever we do, we can't help but destroy our planet. Well, my classmates do. This was my PLBS topic for English. Hope you read it so that you can at least be aware of it :
So it's Sunday morning, you're sitting down at the computer with your cup of coffee, and you decide to search for the latest YouTube hit. You groan. That video is taking too long to load. You open a new window and decide to read the morning paper while you wait for the video to download. This scene may seem innocent enough, but were you aware of the fact that your websurfing has an impact on the environment? Would you be surprised to know that it contributes to a greater global carbon footprint than the whole of the aviation industry?
Although they might seem ephemeral, websites have real-world environmental footprints. Their files are stored on servers, viewed by personal computers, and connected via networks. To operate these components, all of which are necessary to create a complete website experience, electricity must be consumed. And to generate much of that electricity, fossil fuels like coal and natural gas are usually being burned.
So, when you are sitting in London viewing a website hosted in California, there are power plants on at least two continents actively pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in order for you to watch that video or read that online newspaper.
Since millions of people are surfing the web every hour of every day, that carbon footprint adds up to an astounding 2% of international emissions each year. In fact, according to the American research firm Gartner, the carbon footprint of information and communications technology exceeded that of the global aviation industry for the first time in 2007. Add to your own footprint those of the billions of existing web searchers, not to mention those now coming online in Asia and Africa, and the numbers are staggering.
Even simple online activities take a toll on the environment. Google does not divulge its energy use or carbon footprint but, based on publicly available information, we have calculated that each Google search generates an estimated 5-10 g of CO2, in part because Google's unique infrastructure replicates queries across multiple servers, which then compete to provide the fastest answer to your query. On the other hand, just browsing a basic website generates about 20 mg of CO2 for every second you view it.
More complex websites with rich animations and video can be responsible for the emission of CO2 at up to 300 mg per second. Where are these emissions coming from? For a typical website experience, the dominant contribution to its footprint comes from the electricity consumed by its visitors' computers, followed by the network infrastructure needed to transmit the website, with the servers and data centers providing the website as the smallest contributor.

Did you read yesterday's newspapers about the cruel thing they did to the poor 400 dogs? The poor innocent stray dogs. It was sooo upsetting reading it. Some bozos, the people in Pulau Ketam, decided stupidly to dump 400 dogs in an uninhabited island! What the heck man. It's animal slaughter for crying out loud!!! The dogs there die of starvation and the other dogs eat their dead carcasses. Some dogs try to swim back but the fisherman shoo them away and they eventually DROWN. PLEASE la. This NO WAY to solve a/the problem. I, as an animal lover, hopes that the head of the bozo village and the people pay for their cruel, cruel, cruel, CRUEL thing they have done.
