Hi! sorry for not blogging in super long. Anyway today ah that Annie totally embarrassed me in front of the whole class because I didn't know when Farquhar did something or other. I'm so gonna tell the world her little secret. Annie loves boon!!!!!! AHHH please annie don't kill yourself ok we still love you much muchxxz.

I shall start recapping from last friday, where in order to not write a letter for PE (due to me being sick and not wanting to see a doctor) I signed up to participate in some youth radio talkshow thing hosted by Mr Daniel Martin of 93.8 Fm. It was quite interesting to see how radio personalities act, I mean since you only ever hear their voices. We discussed whether technology has resulted in a lack of appreciation for the arts amongst youth, and the general consensus was that technology has given a new meaning to the arts, broadening its definition and also providing new means for us to express ourselves in the arts hint youtube.

This brings me to Sunday's events. After church I met Andrew and then waited for the rest of 4.8 to come. Lester's church booked a whole theater at GV so about 14 of us from 4.8 met up to watch The Forbidden King. Honestly I can't comment on the show, you have to see it to believe it. It was nice catching up a little with other classmates that I hadn't seen in a while. While at PS, we went to times where I noticed the book "youtube for dummies". Out of curiosity I glanced through it and found it rather amusing. It had stuff about "offensive content", warning the reader of the danger of idiotic youtube users posting harsh and negative comments. I do hope the reader knows what he's getting himself into. Yeah it also mentioned like how to report videos and stuff. I've told some of you that at a certain point in time I was feeling rather worried about the rapid advancement of technology, Windows Vista to be precise, as embarrassing as it may sound. But that packaged with the release of all the new consoles like the PS3 really got me rather flustered. I felt that I couldn't keep up with all this technology, that once you mastered something, something new came out. And that sucked. But I'm over it and so bring it on VISTA! Anyway rants about my insecurity of the past aside, let me now rant about my insecurity of the future.

The youtube book. What if say 60 years from now we find ourselves going to the nearest borders or times (by then like mrts will fly and stuff) and looking for a dummies guide to say ... pacman v5000. I can imagine bringing it home and like having my grand kids laugh their pants off at me, and there I'll be with my already poor and deteriorating eyesight and my huge magnifying glass, no doubt stolen from the bio lab(no.), turning to the table of contents. Page 5, "difference between this version and all 4999 versions before it". "Hi, if you bought this book it probably means you aspire to be a great pacman player but are struggling with it. The first step to becoming that great player is to realise the difference of pacman today and the pacman of yesteryear. The largest difference is that pacman is now rainbow coloured, and the developers have even added a rather ancient feel to the game, using music from the likes of Muse."
I mean seriously, is all this change necessary? Unfortunately, it is. I just hope I'm not left out as a pacman dinosaur.


Today some of us had to run our 2.4 for napfa. I had my lowest improvement rate, improving by a mere 25 seconds for a timing of 10.23. nevertheless I was really happy because it was my first A for any "long distance" run ever, but I'm rather worried for my standing broad jump and sit and reach.
