Whee okay I'll skip all the boring stuff. Then delve into a browser analysis. Then, if time permits, a rant on life. Apparently everyone thinks it sucks.

Ah yes I got 33/40 for Eng compre. Could have gotten 37... aargh.

I get to skip the test tomorrow. For debate xD.

History was totally... crap.

Liki=A
Bong=B
A: That is so obviously not reliable in the slightest least.
B: But its more reliable right?
A: If its unreliable it can't be more reliable
B: You are being overcritical here. Soon you'll be telling me every single text in the world is biased.
A: Yeah, thats precisely my point.
B: (daos me)

Okay, let me do a teacher analysis.
Bernard Ong Yuan Jun
aka. Bong.
Tsktsk...
Interest=0/10
Coherent lesson plans=1/10
Ending stuff one starts=3/10
Ability to conduct a lesson=4/10

Rather dismal altogether. And he's our form teacher. No offence, this is TRUE. We got our FT period eaten up by History yesterday. We got half our recess eaten up today. 3/4 actually.

A: Mr Ong, I would like to suggest something
B: Hmm yeah?
A: This is against the moral and welfare rights of the students to a pathetic 40 minute break. Robbing it from us... did you seek permission from the relevant authorities?
B: I don't care.
A: Then I think you'd better consult them and inform us beforehand. We could then eat an earlier breakfast
B: No need for repetitions next time.
A: Fine.

There is a consensus on Bong's student approval rating. Sigh.

Double maths we covered things done in MQT. At a more basic level. Somehow I couldn't take the equations at surface value. Had to ferret so deep and even substitute to verify my answer. Perfectionism in action. Ended up finishing lots behind everyone else.

Comprehension during double CF. Darn difficult. I flunked it.

After that, Mr Quek came to class. Managed to ESCAPE. Assisi beckoning! Me and Muk ABANDONED WEICHER. And we CHIONGED TO ASSISI. Crossed the bridge, took 156. Were 3 minutes late. Assisi was less dreary than I had thought. I requested for a certain Geraldine and she brought us to the old folks. We disinfected our hands, then we were brought. IT WAS SO STUPID CAN. I WAS ACTING TOTALLY DUMB. I tried Mandarin, then English, then was told that he could only speak TEOCHEW. Then 30 minutes later he conversed in fluent Mandarin. -.-...

Anyway we spoke to a certain very nice Mdm Loi. She has got some kind of cancer. She didn't tell and it wouldn't be nice to PROBE. It was rather muted. I WAS SITTING ON THE ARMCHAIR. AND NO ONE TOLD ME. I got TICKED OFF for not letting her sit on it. Haix... sorry... It was pretty dismal. She doesn't want to die, but her cancer is advanced. She looked like she wanted to cry. It was... rather... after all it WAS my first encounter with a cancer patient, at least with knowledge, in 7 years. She was a former hotel cleaner. It was shocking. She had no immediate family but lots of nieces and all. She spoke of them with such pride! The cost of her treatment was too SHOCKING. 740 bucks (subsidied) for 20 pieces of pain relieving stickers. She was real nice though. I would have preferred the convo to be less rigid.

Then we helped with FILING. Wow. Awesome! Muk took all the easyjobs, giving me all the saikang. What to do? Anyway she said Muk was CUTE. As expected. He did 4 files then began slacking. I was wrestling with files triple or quadruple his's size.

Crap.... then we got our forms filled. (3 CIP hours!)

Then we ate at Mt. Alvernia. I'm never eating there again. Total ROBBING. 4.70 for a measly bowl of wanton noodles that tasted like... dung. Muk's meerebus was okayy.... but it was too expensive.

Then we went home.

Let me analyse browsers now.
IE:
Default browser.
Lowest security
Most popups
Lowest speed.
Not that user friendlyy
Confusing, images very sharp and thus not as appealing as the roundedness of Mozilla

Mozilla:
25% of market share.
Moderate security (almost 0 popups)
Slightly faster than IE.
Very easy to use
Does not support stylesheets and custom toolbars. Makes some webpages appear off

Opera:
I just got this today.
Very detailed.
Very fast
Very secure
Very unfriendly.
Very lousy name.

Lots of tradeoffs, but overall I still choose Mozilla. Or a mix of all 3. Heavyduty=Opera. Moderate work=Mozilla. Perfect display needed=IE.

Haha thats it, need to run.
