I was reading the xkcd forums, and I realised something interesting.

Hat Guy = Black Hat Guy = BHG :D :D :D :D :D

The guy in the latest comic is, according to a forum user, LCG. Go figure that out for yourself.

There was a suspicious number of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!" songs being sung in the canteen on Friday, and it was getting really irritating.

So being the cold and hateful person I am, I immediately came up with a viable solution: We'd sing too, but our song would go like this:

"WILL YOU PLE-EASE SHUT UP, WILL YOU PLE-EASE SHUT UP! WILL YOU PLE-EE-EASE SHUT UPPPPPPP... SHUT THE HELL UP!"

I immediately told everyone at the table my cunning plan, and I think it is a sign of my influence that they all took to the idea extremely quickly. No one but a classhole ought to be that happy at the sight of ruining people's happiness. So we waited in eager anticipation for someone to start singing Happy Birthday again, and then we'd strike like a cobra and crush all the happiness out of them.

But ironically, Murphy was on their side and they didn't sing again. Bah.

It's a great idea, though, and we shall be operationally ready in case those annoying birthday song singers strike again.

* says to put on my blog: "Do not say, the great and awesome Victoria Yeow came up with a good idea today!"

Yah anyway that was in relation to my great and awesome Valentine Day's cards which I shall put up here, after I've given them away, or else it'd just spoil the surprise!

I armwrestled both Xinyuan and Crystal during lunch at Shaw, because I was totally sick of them niaoing my arm strength. And I deadlocked both of them, which either means none of us have any skill in armwrestling, or I'm pretty strong. I choose to believe in the latter option. Xinyuan and Crystal were shocked at first when they didn't down me within the first 5 seconds, and even more shocked when they didn't manage to down me at all and had to offer a draw. I feel pleased :)

This is a sweet love story
of an eukaryote
which accidentally ingested a prokaryote
and both of whom
eventually lost the ability of exist independently.

A sequel to the graph love story (see Jan archives) which some people said they liked! This one was in Bio. Did you know that mitochondria are supposedly prokaryotes which were ingested but not digested by primitive eukaryotes?

Hi Daniel! Thanks for the Cu info :D The badge is all ugly and red now, sigh.

Today we did electroplating during Chem. Mrs Lim told us to bring metal objects, like a broken school badge that we didn't want or something, and since I always take awesome care of my stuff, I bought a new school badge to electroplate. (I didn't want to ruin the old badges, they're way prettier than these new flat ones.)

So anyway, we dunked it in CuSO4 solution and let it electroplate, and when we pulled it out to take a look Crystal and I went crazy, because all the metal parts had turned a beautiful pink. That was enough to unleash our inner bimbos and we all started squealing really loudly, and Mrs Lim came over and the pink unleashed HER inner bimbo as well, and the whole class came to see the prettiness of my new pink school badge.

Mrs Lim told us the history of this badge electroplating. Apparently it all started when she was teaching SJI, and guys being guys, they think of wrecking things every 8 seconds. So someone plated their school badge, and then called Mrs Lim over to take a look. She thought it was pretty, and hence brought the idea of plating badges over to RGS. Yay!

So anyway. The metallic parts of my badge have been coloured reddish brown (it was pink at first, but I don't know what happened afterwards) and it's taken on the look of a remarkably well-preserved antique. I shall wear this badge on special occasions, and when people try to book me or make me take it off, I shall take a deep breath, and then tell them:

"My mother wore this badge. My mother's MOTHER wore this badge. And HER mother wore this badge too. This badge has been passed down through the family over generations. It serves as a reminder to ourselves to continue the tradition of excellence and not let our predecessors down. Do you know that by asking me to remove this badge, you are asking me to turn my back on the time-hallowed tradition of excellence? How could you? Have you no SHAME? NO RESPECT FOR MY FAMILY'S TRADITIONS?!?!?!?!"

By which time, ideally, the person who's been questioning me about my badge will be reduced into a quivering mound of jelly, and will slink away, wibble wobble wibble wobble.

I recited the above speech in a dramatic debator tone to Crystal, who rolled her eyes at me and said, "Vic, they changed the school badge design in the '80s".

Damn. I hadn't thought of that. But I was quick-witted and immediately shot back with a rejoinder: "My mother, and my mother's mother, and HER mother all married young." Then Crystal started mumbling about having a baby stashed away somewhere too. -_-

So I tried it on Sarah, who's slightly more sane. She asked to see the badge, and when I showed it to her, she gave me this odd look and said, "This is a new badge. I bet you've been doing some weird Chem stuff to it, haven't you."

Damn, busted.

But I don't care my badge is still super pretty! :D

URGHHHH.

I have been enlightened.

For those of you who are still puzzling over the A Blog Reader thing, his name is actually a link, which leads to a site on UrbanDictionary.com, which happens to be a page on the definition of the word "tap".

And that is apparently a response to that post I did a long time ago, about the HC AV people, uh, tapping mics, and "No. 3" refers to the third definition of "tap" on UrbanDictionary, which is neither polite nor flattering D:

So go look at it yourself if you really want to know. Don't blame me though, if you get grossed out, which I surmise poor Maggie did. Heh.

Thanks, Blog Reader :) That's one mystery cleared up, I guess. :)
