Haven't been blogging for the past few days cause I haven't been doing anything except mugging mugging and more mugging. Thank goodness I can finally stop now because my examination starts tomorrow! It lasts for three days, with my first paper being F maths, Physics and finally C maths. I can't wait for Thursday to come.
I don't have much to write now... my brain is saturated already guess I will stop here..

the path to becoming a patriot and a man
I spent almost the entire afternoon at the Central Manpower Base for my NS medical assesment. I had to get a urine sample for my first station and I had a rather difficult time getting myself to urinate ^.^ Its like I am forcing myself but the darn fluid just won't come out but I manage to get it after some 30 minutes of watiting... I am then given some kind of a paper stick with coloured patches on it (litmus paper?) and were told to insert the coloured patches into our sample. The medical examiner just took a glance at my stained paper stick and then said OK. I guess its a test for diabetes. I went to get my blood drawn for testing next and then proceeded to the dental room.
I handed my file, one that holds all the documents that the examiners will tick or comment after finish checking us, to the dentist there along with this RJ guy(we were wearing our college PE attire). Even though we handed in at the same time, the dentist told me to wait since priority is given to RJ students(RJ being Raffles Junior College, the top JC in Singapore). I was like ''What the heck..'' but theres nothing I can do except to wait. Its not a very long wait though because all the dentist do is just look into our mouth and check the alignment of our teeth. After the RJ guy left, it was my turn and the dentist told me, after that RJ person was out of sight, that he actually hates RJ students because they think they are damn smart... I just smiled at him. I had to go for a x-ray for my jaws after that. I guess my teeth are not that properly aligned :s
Next, I went to get an x-ray for my chest followed by an eye check, blood pressure test, height and weight measurement - the usual routine. The second last station was the EEG otherwise known as electroencephalogram o.O Basically its just to check our heart beat rate, the health of our heart etc etc. I remember EEG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the brain so I wonder why they call this thing EEG... or did I get mixed up? But it can't be my blunder since the medical examiners only attached some suction cups to my chest area and nothing to my head for the EEG... Bah I guess it doesn't really matter~
After the EEG, I went to the waiting room and waited(duh~) for my turn to enter one of the many consulting rooms. Once inside, I was asked to declare any medical, social or family problems I had. Then, the examiners(or consultants) wanted to check if I am a real male and so I er... its self-explanatory I guess haha XD. When I left the room and checked with my friends, one of them said that his examiner just asked him ''One stick, two balls?'' and he replied ''Yeah''. He was proven to be a male just like that -_-''
Anyway, we came to the end of our medical assessment and next is our IQ assessment. After that, we had to sit for a 2 hours long test which are mainly made up of multiple-choice questions. We were asked to memorise a series of numbers in a short period of time and then type them out, some physics questions, some maths questions, some visualisation problems etc etc. We were given time limits for the different segments of the test and I couldn't finish some segments in time. I wonder how my IQ rating would fare. Time really flies, it doesn't feel like 2 hours had passed when I finished the test.
Yay. The NS medical assessment was finally over and I got a PresB status, which means that I am fit for most operational vocations and have to undergo full basic military training. Of course, theres also a PresA which means you're fit for everything and PresC which means you can't participate in certain trainings and so on and so forth.
On the way to the bus-stop, I thought of what I would like to be in the army. A secret agent(Metal Gear Solid rocks!) would be my ideal choice but I wonder if I can take all the trainings involved... come to think of it, I doubt Singapore even has an intelligence agency or maybe we have one but the government decided to keep it secret. Who knows? The Navy is appealing to me as well because I liked ships and submarines and life on the sea haha. I would like to be the commander in a submarine, a nuclear one if possible, then I can go around launching torpedoes and nuclear missiles like theres no tomorrow... nah just kidding. Ship or submarine, both are fine with me.
I wanted to go to Novena Square to have lunch with Sher and to buy the Full Metal Alchemist anime VCD at the same time but she was unavailable and the bus ride kind of tired me out so I just went straight home after that.
I sort of got hooked onto animes this year heh.
I am still looking for someone to help me customize my blog. ..
The date today is 20 June 2006. If you write it in numerical form, you would get 20062006.. just for your information ^.^

mainly i am studying
Yes, I am finally following my schedule and finished revising what I am supposed to revise today... Thats all that happened today I think.. hmm. Yep, positive. I started mugging after I woke up and continued until 8pm or so. Of course I have breaks in between, I am not some kind of super nerd...
Anyway, I will be going for my medical checkup tomorrow to see if I am physically and psychologically fit to serve my National Service... so have to sleep early tonight as my appointment is at 10am. Apparently the checkup will last 4 hours which includes a 2 hours IQ test ughhh.
ZZZzzzzzz........

A newfound obession?
I spent quite a bit of time stoning in my room today thinking of how wonderful it would be if I could burn all my notes, mix the ashes with a cup of water, drink it and then all the formulas and contents would be registered into my head instantaneously.
This crappy thought came to my mind suddenly when I was in the toilet doing my uh.. business. What if sex is not enjoyable in the sense that an orgasm, instead of giving one pleasure, will give one pain... Ugh I am full of shit. The constant mugging must have tripped a nerve somewhere in my brain. Anyway, I discovered a new interest of mine; I like angels in the form of manga and anime! I have decided to learn how to draw them but my friend(an artist) told me that it took him seven years to draw a decent angel portrait(not manga or anime). I wonder how I would fare haha I guess I will start off by drawing the wings first and if you're wondering, I am not much of an artist but I believe that determination will help you achieve your goals. Maybe.
Anyway, I think I might give my blog an angel theme hehe but I still cannot fathom the workings of HTML. Help~~
After two weeks of memorising all my mathematical formulas and equations, I started doing actual questions today and yesterday. Statistics were still all right because I can do most of the questions but my mechanics sucks big time. But I can't say its entirely my bad since some of the questions are phrased in such a way that will make me interpret it wrongly since I tend to think in a more complex manner. Then again, maybe its just me...
Tomorrow would be the beginning of the last week of my June holidays and I have to start revising my Physics. This June 'holidays' is just a sham! Holidays are meant for us to revel and enjoy ourselves but I have to revise revise and revise! Why? Because the Ministry of Education has to delibrately set the date of my mid-year exam at the end of the June holidays. What on earth is the Ministry thinking? Hmm... Oh well, I guess they want us students to exercise self-discipline and study at the right time and play at the right time.
Nothing much happened today. Its a boring day. I am off to start my Final Fantasy 8 no-level challenge.

Cut me some slack
I figured out how to put a tag board on my blog but I won't be adding one yet.
I tried customizing my blog but failed to as I know nothing about the HTML codes and stuffs. The farthest I got was to change the colour of the background from black to blue to grey and back to black again... and I discovered how to change the size of my blog's title as well. Not very constructive eh. I guess I would have to find some help again. HELP~
Now I understand the woes of my friend who is currently pursuing a diploma in InfoComm Technology. She actually has to design an entire website for her assignment! Imagine all the typing that needs to be done... Good luck Joy!
I woke up exceptionally early today at 8am, considering its the school holidays, because Sher wanted to go running with me but it started raining after some time. So, we decided to have breakfast at United Square instead. As usual, I ordered my Big Breakfast meal while she ordered her Hotcakes and while eating, somebody kept SMSing Sher. It turned out to be one of her juniors at school and this guy likes Sher and also thinks that Sher likes him. Of course, the feeling is not mutual and that kid is wasting his time since our dear Sher doesn't go for younger boys. However, there is an exception though haha.
Learning from my mistakes from my last outing with Sher, I asked her to shop around since it is bizzare to go home immediately after having breakfast(its not my fault that I like to stay at home). We went to the comics store to see whether the lastest issue of our comics are out yet. Sadly, none of them are out yet but I saw a new series of comic which I might consider buying. Sher saw the Da Vinci Password PC game and told me that she wants to... [to be continued]
[MEANWHILE]
I was writing my blog peacefully and was about to mention what Sher is gonna do with the Da Vinci game at around 10.20 pm when suddenly, my elder brother dashed out of his room and demand that I stop whatever I am doing and help him do HIS stuff -.-''
He wanted me to help him print some of his work documents and he even specify that he wants it printed in a particular format. After that, he went back to his room leaving me to print HIS work for him. Oh well, I admit I am lucky, at least he didn't ask me to TYPE those documents out for him and print them as well. Anyway, I can't seem to print the documents in the format he wanted so I ended up exploring Windows Office for like 2 hours and spent another 1 hour or so to search for and install Chinese typing program into my computer since his documents consist of chinese characters..... Still, I can't print the darn thing in the format he wants. When he came out a second time and saw that I am still not done printing, he asked me to do my best and then leave the printed documents on the living room table where he will collect them tomorrow. He went to sleep after that. Can you believe it!!! Ughhh how could he do this to me~ *SIGHZ*
Thats what it means to be the youngest in the family - you get ordered around like some kind of slave. So, if you do not want to be bossed around in the family next time, make sure you're not born as the littlest brother!(I sense the temperature dropping)
Anyway, after much innovative clicking and thinking and printing, I finally got the format which HE wanted. Phew~ but its already 2.20am and I have wasted 15 papers and I have to sleep after 3am again... Damn, time is really running out for me!
[Continued from before] ... buy it. But she didn't in the end. She also saw Disney's "Cars" PC game and said she wanted to buy it buy she didn't as well. I think what she meant was "I will buy it, but not on that day." :P
Next, we went to the Popular bookstore and Sher saw this series Chinese Zodiac books which contains all the information about the love life, career, family etc etc of a person with a particular zodiac. She picked up the Sheep book and browse to the romance page where she found some unexpected details. I picked up the snake book and flip to the romance section as well. Apparently, my cousin J-Jay won't be having very good luck on his romance life during this few months according to the book. Me? Nah I am not very interested about all this stuff. Just let nature takes it course. But sometimes, abit of fortune-telling won't hurt kekeke...
Sher and I had some kind of a.... erm... personal chat while we are browsing through the stationeries. It is marvelous to know that she is a strong girl-soon-to-be-woman.
Go for it Sher, your cuz will always support you spritually!
We window-shopped in Toys 'R' Us next and Sher kind of went bonkers; she saw a toy stethoscope which has the words "Real stethoscope" printed on the package. So she wanted to open the thing and check if its real. If I hadn't pulled her away in time, she might have to bring the toy home. She saw this pinching toy and used it to pinch me, not that it hurts but still... Next, she picked up a shotgun which has a ''Real sound effects'' and fired it like some kind of dodo. On top of that, she wanted me to pretend to be shot by her and faint. Sheeez~ I was quite worried by that time but still pretended to be normal. Then she saw a bunch of toy scimitars and wanted me to have a duel with her ...o.O What more can I say?
We left the toy store and headed for Starbucks Coffee. To be honest, it was my first time patronizing Starbucks(Okok go on and laugh at me). We sat down and Sher started reading the Teenage magazine she bought at Popular. We took a shopping test from the magazine and found out that Sher shopped like Britney Spears and I shopped like Gwen Stefani(the test questions and the answers we can choose are pretty limited). For some unknown reasons, I was treated very diferently from other Starbucks customers. I went to order a cup of hot cocoa(pronounced coco according to Sher) and was told that it will be delivered to my seat but the waiter forgot about my order and I had go to the counter, remind the waiter and collect it myself. Then Sher was asking me why didn't they gave me a spoon and serviettes(keep in mind that its my first time) so I went to collect these items from the counter. When I returned, Sher asked me why did I receive a common-looking white plastic spoon instead of the green plastic spoon which everyone is using. Bah~ I can't be bothered to go and change anyway. Up till now I still can't figure out why am I being treated differently...hmm...
We went home after we finished out coffee.
I spent the entire afternoon trying to figure out how to customize this blog and I am still working at it.
I spent the evening watching television.
I spent the night working for my bro.
I spent the early morning finishing this blog.
Shoot. I have not been following my schedule. I am supposed to do my maths assignments today. At this rate I am going, I may flunk my mid-year exams....
I better do something. But its too early now(3.20am ^.^). I will see what I can salvage later on.

June 15, 2006
15 June 2006
Hmm, my friends' blog have tag-boards on them. I wonder how I can put one on mine... can somebody help me? Please?
The earlier half of yesterday(14 June 2006) was not very happy for me because I am struggling to memorise all the damn formulas for my Maths revision. I really admire statisticians because they can understand all the steps needed to compute certain statistics and they can remember all the formulas and equations. Furthermore, they can make sense of a bunch of data that seems like Greek to me. I thought I would have to spend my whole day revising for the mid-year exams again and get my brain drained but I was wrong! My cousins(Sher and J-Jay) called me in the evening and asked me out to catch a movie. We decided to watch Garfield 2 and it is actually very nice and hilarious, so much so that I was practically laughing throughout the movie.
We went to Cathay Cinema and its my first time watching a film there. In my opinion, its a fantastic place. It has a very pleasant ambience and the whole place just seems high-class(thank goodness the tickets are still of the same price ^.^). However, there is no reception inside the theatre and I can't use my cell phone!!! Well, its not like I am going to make a call halfway through the movie but sometimes, my friends might SMS me and I would need to reply them, not that I receive SMSes during movies very often but still... Perhaps there has been too many cases of inconsiderate people that don't know how to turn their cells to 'Silent', hence, the management's decision to cut off all reception in the theatre... J came up with a nonsensical reason for the absence of reception in the theatre; couples watching a film will be able to concentrate since they can't use their cells. They will then be more aware of each other and their relationship will be enhanced. It makes no sense to me, J is so full of crap.
Oh and we met Sher's friend at the cinema who also watched the same show at us. We are like a few seats away in the theatre. She looks quite mature and somewhat attractive to me but I think the guy that was with her is her boyfriend and no, I am not hinting at anything.
I suggested going home after the movie but Sher insist that we don't. She said it feels very bizzare to go home after watching a movie and wanted us to hang out around town. J was against my idea too so being the nice person that I am, I gave in them(I feel so shameless XD).
While walking around aimlessly, the three of us chatted and I was rather shocked by the contents of our converstaion! J and Sher both betted on soccer matches for the World Cup *coughs* and despite winning some money, Sher was not satisfied and wanted to bet more for the next match. All right all right, perhaps I am just being over-sensitive to be shocked by this since gambling is ubiquitous nowadays. But personally, I have never gambled for the past 17++ years except during Chinese New Year where we played card games. Other than that, I don't gamble and my cousins, who are younger than me, actually betted on soccer! Ugh I feel like a Loser... perhaps its time for me to start buying lotteries. Nononono, what the heck am I thinking? Gambling is for simple minded losers that only wants to make a quick and easy gain. I should never degenerate to their level! Yep, thats right! (For some unknown reasons, I have the feeling that many people will revile me for saying that) We also talked about beer and vodka and champagne and some other cheap types of alcohol. I hate beer because its very bitter. I wonder why adults like it so much. I guess I will find out in due time. Sher told us that she can down one cup of XO without getting knocked out and we were like ''Are you sure~?'' upon which she replied ''Yeah of course!''. J and I were very doubtful about what she said but we believed her anyway. J told us a about a rather interesting recipe; mix a cup of green tea with a cup of vodka and then drink it. Apparently, it may help remove toxins in your body but BE WARNED - Try it at your own risk.
Sher then said she wanted to buy a birthday present for one of her male friends and we headed for Plaza Singapura. She asked us for our suggestions and as usual, J and I gave her all sorts of crappy suggestions some of which include having her stripping in front of that guy and a PS3. She was quite annoyed with our asinine responses and decided to get her friend a horn-shaped pendant but she cannot find any after browsing through several shops. So, she gave up and told us that she wants to buy a present for one of her friend who will be leaving Singapore for the United States soon. This time, she didn't asked for our opinions and made us browse through shops after shops with her. She ended up shopping for clothes for herself! Sheeez what a forgetful and snobbish girl she is[sorry Sher XD]. I wonder why Sher is so good to her friends but do not give a damn about her cousins; I can't remember the last time she gave me a present.
After we finished touring PS, Sher demands that we go to the Far East Plaza to see more of her clothes which she wants to buy(good grief!). Like its name suggests, Far East Plaza is very far away - Ok thats not funny. Anyway, its not exactly near PS either. We walked through the Istana, the residence of our president which is in the middle of a shopping district(a pretty wierd location for a presidential residence if you ask me), Meridian Mandarin Hotel blah blah blah and we arrived at Far East. Most of the shops are closed since its already 10pm and the remaining ones that are opened does have the things that Sher wants.
I think I finally understand why they say 'girls never have enough clothes'.
We went home after that and J, don't think that I have forgotten about your two little secrets which you don't want her to know Hehe.
It was 11pm when I reached home and after eating the dinner which my caring dad heated for me with love, I resumed my revision.
After my revision, which comprises mainly of Newton's Law of Motion, it was 1.30am. I couldn't sleep. Then I remembered that I just created a blog.
So I turned on my computer and started blogging this blog.
The earlier half of yesterday(14 June 2006) was not very happy for me because..... relax I am not senile yet lol.
I promised myself that I would sleep before 2am but its already 2.43am now. Sighz~ I am gonna wake up in the middle of the day later on again. Damn, time is already running out for me. Oh well, I will sleep before 2am tomorrow haha.

The earlier half of yesterday(14 June 2006) was not very happy for me because I am struggling to memorise all the damn formulas for my Maths revision. I really admire statisticians because they can understand all the steps needed to compute certain statistics and they can remember all the formulas and equations. Furthermore, they can make sense of a bunch of data that seems like Greek to me. I thought I would have to spend my whole day revising for the mid-year exams again and get my brain drained but I was wrong! My cousins(Sher and J-Jay) called me in the evening and asked me out to catch a movie. We decided to watch Garfield 2 and it is actually very nice and hilarious, so much so that I was practically laughing throughout the movie.
We went to Cathay Cinema and its my first time watching a film there. In my opinion, its a fantastic place. It has a very pleasant ambience and the whole place just seems high-class(thank goodness the tickets are still of the same price ^.^). However, there is no reception inside the theatre and I can't use my cell phone!!! Well, its not like I am going to make a call halfway through the movie but sometimes, my friends might SMS me and I would need to reply them, not that I receive SMSes during movies very often but still... Perhaps there has been too many cases of inconsiderate people that don't know how to turn their cells to 'Silent', hence, the management's decision to cut off all reception in the theatre... J came up with a nonsensical reason for the absence of reception in the theatre; couples watching a film will be able to concentrate since they can't use their cells. They will then be more aware of each other and their relationship will be enhanced. It makes no sense to me, J is so full of crap.
Oh and we met Sher's friend at the cinema who also watched the same show at us. We are like a few seats away in the theatre. She looks quite mature and somewhat attractive to me but I think the guy that was with her is her boyfriend and no, I am not hinting at anything.
I suggested going home after the movie but Sher insist that we don't. She said it feels very bizzare to go home after watching a movie and wanted us to hang out around town. J was against my idea too so being the nice person that I am, I gave in them(I feel so shameless XD).
While walking around aimlessly, the three of us chatted and I was rather shocked by the contents of our converstaion! J and Sher both betted on soccer matches for the World Cup *coughs* and despite winning some money, Sher was not satisfied and wanted to bet more for the next match. All right all right, perhaps I am just being over-sensitive to be shocked by this since gambling is ubiquitous nowadays. But personally, I have never gambled for the past 17++ years except during Chinese New Year where we played card games. Other than that, I don't gamble and my cousins, who are younger than me, actually betted on soccer! Ugh I feel like a Loser... perhaps its time for me to start buying lotteries. Nononono, what the heck am I thinking? Gambling is for simple minded losers that only wants to make a quick and easy gain. I should never degenerate to their level! Yep, thats right! (For some unknown reasons, I have the feeling that many people will revile me for saying that) We also talked about beer and vodka and champagne and some other cheap types of alcohol. I hate beer because its very bitter. I wonder why adults like it so much. I guess I will find out in due time. Sher told us that she can down one cup of XO without getting knocked out and we were like ''Are you sure~?'' upon which she replied ''Yeah of course!''. J and I were very doubtful about what she said but we believed her anyway. J told us a about a rather interesting recipe; mix a cup of green tea with a cup of vodka and then drink it. Apparently, it may help remove toxins in your body but BE WARNED - Try it at your own risk.
Sher then said she wanted to buy a birthday present for one of her male friends and we headed for Plaza Singapura. She asked us for our suggestions and as usual, J and I gave her all sorts of crappy suggestions some of which include having her stripping in front of that guy and a PS3. She was quite annoyed with our asinine responses and decided to get her friend a horn-shaped pendant but she cannot find any after browsing through several shops. So, she gave up and told us that she wants to buy a present for one of her friend who will be leaving Singapore for the United States soon. This time, she didn't asked for our opinions and made us browse through shops after shops with her. She ended up shopping for clothes for herself!

14 June 2006, Daylight
The monsters have overtaken the city. Suprisingly, I am still alive... (?)
After constant coercion from my cousin and impregnation with boredom on this fateful night, I decided to start this blog and see how it goes. My name is Yong Cheng Jin, thats the english one. The chinese one is Yang Chengjin. My family just call me Jin for short and I guess you can call me that too. If you are thinking that I live in China then you're so wrong. I do not reside in China. I wonder why so many people thinks all Chinese live in China. In fact, when I visit chatrooms a long time ago, the people I speak to keep thinking that my homeland is a state or a city in China. No!!!! I am from the Republic of Singapore, a miniscule country in South East Asia, surrounded by Malaysia to the north and Indonesia to the East, West and South. Here's a map for reference:

As you can see, Singapore is so tiny(and far away from China) that its territory cannot be shown on the map. But make no mistake. Just because we are small doesn't mean we are a pushover; we are the most prosperous country in the region and are considered a First World Country(hur hur).
Anyway, I am still a student and am studying in Catholic Junior College, a pre-university institution. I will be graduating this year and next year, I will be 18 and that means I have to serve my National Service, that is, get enrolled into the army. The mere thought of it puts me into revulsion because I will be cut off from the outside world for two years... 2 years... no computer, no PS, no mommy, no outings ahhhhhhhhhh! *Ahem* I must have lost my composure. Oh well, I guess I will survive since I still get to book out during weekends after my Basic Military Training. Besides, I am a patriotic guy haha.
Currently, the biggest obstacle in my life is my Mid-year Examinations, which will commence on 26 June 2006. After which I will be siting for my Preliminary Examinations and 'A' Levels(the FINAL exam I guess people from UK would know what this is) in September and October respectively. *Sigh* The cessation of one exam will only mean the inception of another. I wonder when this Vicious Cycle will end.
My favourite country is the Russian Federation. I don't know why but I guess it might be because of its colossal dominion. Please don't mistake me for an advocate of communism or socialism. I just like the country. But hey, my loyalty still lies in Singapore!
Its 2.22am now. I didn't know its so early already... I guess I will write more tomorrow. Maybe.
