brain teaser...

These 4 guys can only see in the direction that they are facing...

They cannot talk to each other...

A wall divides the 3 on the left from the guy on the right...

The guy on the right cannot see anything except the wall... the wall is solid...

They are told that there are 2 red hats and 2 yellow hats...

They do not know the colour of their own hat...

One of these guys can tell the colour of all the hats that each man is wearing...

Can you tell which guy can do this?

I'll think of something for a prize...

overnight camp...

It's been awhile since there've been an overnight camp thingy. Yay for the overnight. Boo for the not too great activities. I slept form 1.30pm till 7pm. Getting old.

The thing that happened too many times this camp is the hitting of people in the face. I hit 2 people in the face with a soft vollyball. Yes, it's soft, not the real vollyball which is actually quite hard. I got hit in the face too. Thanks to Junhao, I think my face is slightly distorted.

Just found out that I'm going to be all alone in a module. The rest have all dropped it. Sucks to the ultimate.

spring festival...

it's the first day of the lunar new year...

i hope everyone had a great lunar new year...

was that a dream?

Had a weird dream last night. But the problem was... I couldn't confirm it was a dream.

This is the story.

The alarm rang at 8am and i snoozed it. Logically, the next time it rings it should be 8.10am. So i went back to sleeping and dreaming. The next time I looked at the handphone, the clock read 8.07am and the alarm sign is still on. Good, 3 more minutes, back to sleeping and dreaming.

Sleeping and dreaming was all good, but after feeling at i might have subconsciously swtiched off the alarm and continued sleeping, (yes, it happened befrore...) I opened my eyes to check the time and this is the weird part. The time read 8.05am and the alarm sign was off.

So what exactly happend? I don't really know. Don't even know if I dreamed all the parts in between.

technical problems...

er... apparently the tag board is screwing up the entries... so the tag board is being relieved of its duties... there should be a new one soon... i hope...

screwed...

When life gives you lemons what do you do? Make lemonade? Apparently you could. But currently, someone is using those lemons and squeezing them into my eyes.

how am i going to explain the rubbish that is happening???
who is going to help me make this decision???

rational parenting...

Went to send someone off to Perth this morning. Yup, airport at 7ish, still too early to be awake on a Saturday if you ask me. But for a friend, I guess it's possible. (I hope you're reading this)

Anyways, that's not the point. Leaving the house at six thirty in the morning, I saw this bunch of old men trying to load 4 sets of golf clubs into their small Volvo. It seemed impossible. They were having problems loading the 1st set into the trunk. But neither is this the point of this entry. So please read on.

As I was waking past the car, one of the men said, "Wah, my kids all fighting for the car."

And that's the point of this entry, I finally realised why my parents refuse to invest in a car.

Parent rationale 1:
If there is no car, you don't need to pay for road tax and petrol.

Parent rationale 2:
If there is no car, it is inconvenient to travel around with young children. I am therefore accounting my deprived childhood totally to this reason.

Parent rationale 3:
If there is no car, when your kids learn to drive, they wouldn't be begging you for the car and fighting between parent and children will be minimised. I am accounting my vast knowledge of bus routes to this.

Rationale 1 is the one that my mom uses all the time. But I think 2 and 3 are the real reason. I should buy Toto during Chinese New Year and win 10 million dollars.

pseudo soccer god speaks once more...

the pseudo soccer god has spoken once more... this time while watching the fianls of the Asean Football Cup, formally known as the Tiger Cup... anyways... Singapore won... they managed to draw 1-1 in Thailand... they mangaged to score an 82nd minute goal... it was good... the goal i mean... it was one of those goals that could be the goal of the tournament...

well... back to the reason for this entry... the pseudo soccer god... that's my dad by the way... and i dun like watching soccer matches with my parents... they think they know the game like they invented it... anyways... the pseudo soccer god sways in and out supporting Singapore... after Thailand scored the first goal... he kept saying stuff like how Singapore cannot kick a ball properly and they would lose... and losing would be good for Singapore because... well they just don't deserve to win... and right before Amri scored the equaliser for Singapore... he replayed his prediction for Singapore... it wasn't nice... because deep down... all Singaporeans support Singapore football... no matter what they say on the outside... so that's a major reason i don't like to watch soccer with dad...

then out of nowhere... Singapore scored... and it was a scorcher... i liked it... then the pseudo soccer god changed his tune... the "support Singapore" tape started rolling and occassionally hit a bump and stopped... but it quickly started playing again... especially since Singapore played fairly better in the last 10 minutes... well a comment for everything isn't bad... just pretty irritating...

anyways... now for MY opinion... i thought the Lions played pretty well... it wasn't anything like world class smooth flowing football... but it was good enough... did Singapore play like they deserved to win? not really... but they played like they wanted to win more... more than the Thais... AND the most important thing is that they took their chances better... the Thais had their chances and they blew it... they missed one great chance... Lionel Lewis was stranded but the defence managed to stop the ball from going in... yup... they definately wanted to win more...

refereeing is a tough job... but i think the referees choosen for the finals and the Chinese referee that refereed the Singapore-Malaysia match all suck.... to the core... okie they are all human... but kids could have made better decisions... and lesser enemies...

Yay!!! Singapore won...
