These 3 days has been very eventful.
1. All these while, my basketball had a bump which appeared due to too much pressure on that point. And on Friday, the bump evolved into a hole, which allowed all the air to escape. Dang. However, i am currently opened to suggestions and if anyone has any ideas, pls write them in the shOUTbox located just to the right of this post.
By the way, I am already thinking of using superglue to seal up the hole but have not done so due to the lack of glue. Pls share some of your ideas too.
2. My computer got a virus. There was this fake antivirus software that was actually a virus itself (What irony) that auto-installed into my computer and screwed it up. Luckily, there were nice people on the net to help me solve this.
For all those avid users of computers out there, the fake anti-virus viral software is called Total Security. It will change your desktop picture into a warning-like picture telling you that there are numerous malicious malware in your computer stealing various information and that you would have to buy its full version software to get rid of it. It costs like US$5o to US$80. You would not be able to do anything except to use the internet.
Now on to the solution steps.
1.Restart your computer in "Safe with networking mode ".
3.While in "Safe with networking mode" download Malwarebytes.
(Free)
http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-An…(Note)If you already have Malwarebytes installed and it won't run go in it's program file and right click on the red mbam app and rename it mbam.bat then right click and choose send to-> Desktop (create shortcut) now close out of everything and go to your desk top and use that app to launch M-Bam for now on.
4.Right click on the mbam setup app you downloaded and rename it xxxx then click on it and install and update it and run a full scan and delete/quarantine all entities it finds and restart if it asks? (Note) If it won't update use this link to download and install the latest rules:

Life has been eventful between the last post and this.
Firstly, there was the latest TI gathering to celebrate Marcus', Benedict's and some other people's birthday. Happy belated birthday to all of you! To be honest, all we did to celebrate was to play basketball, eat lunch together, and in the end bought a gift for him. Not so much of a celebration though, but then again, its the thought that counts right?
Secondly, Research Education. We got into the finals! YEAH! All our hard work, sweat and tears have not gone down the drain! However, during the semi-finals presentation, something weird happened. As our group was using powerpoint to present, i thought if i uploaded the presentation onto my phone, it would be better as i wouold not have to refer to the screen behind me at all. But in the end, after everything was over, my teacher told me that using any scripts of any kind was not professional at all. Well, that doesn't matter anymore as we are already in finals! WooHoo!
Lastly, basketball. Well, my neighbors has been very kind in teaching me how to shoot hooops correctly. Thanks, Benjamin and John. and not to mention my driving skills. They are DA BOMBZ! Whenever i would cross someone, the way the guy falls for it is so funny that i would probaby miss the shot or screw the lay-up up. But honestly, try watching someone fall to left while you sort of lean towards the right side of him without laughing. Even though it might sound pretty lame now, but try doing it. Its pretty fun.
Thats all for now. Stay tuned.
This blog is not dead.

As can be seen from the title, i proclaim this blog undead! (cheers from croud...)
Okay, back to business. This is the first post in a really really long time, and so it is quite hard for me to write everything that has happened to me so far into here., but nevertheless, i will always try.
First things first, Basketball iz da bomb! During the National Day holidays, we(shi wei, joseph, foong, hua yang, joel ng, and some rgs girls and somemore random people that i forgot) went to play basketball after the celebrations. We played for like 7 to 8 hours straight, and if thats not enough, after that, i had to go for RE and play like 1 more hours there. As expected, during the debriefing, i almost slept. (Actually I did =))
Second thing, i was thinking of joining basketball in Sec 4, seeing that my bowling is not improving much and that the coach does not seem to care about me anymore. Then, if you think about it again, in Sec 4, you would only be able to join for like 4 to 5 months, and then you would have to stop for training in preparation for the prelims and HCL o'level exams.For those 5 months, it seems retarded to quit and join and go through all the troubles of joining and quitting.
Third thing, I have been playing basketball almost everyday since the starting of the June holidays at a neighbourhood court with some people living nearby. When i came back to school, my friends were like: "Wow, Joel, when did you become so dark?' and also like "Wow, Joel, you look thinner now!" Yeah! all those basketball sessions did not go down the drain! I am a new person. Taller, thinner, darker, and better! Yippee!
Look at the time.

Term 3 has started. Everything is in a rush. H1N1 is not making things any easier too. Really wanna excel. (who wouldn't?) Really want to get into Bio RA by end of this year. There is only a close to 5% chance. But that is still a chance and i will fight for it like how i would fight for my life. I REALLY WANT IT BAD!
btw... look at the time again. You have wasted approximately 10.367945 seconds on average on reading this post. Now look away and do something useful.
Love?

I have noticed a growing trend in the topics of personal messages in MSN Instant messenging service. There currently a few major groups in which i have categorised them into. One would be H1N1, second would be MJ;s death, Homework and finally Love!!! ( Ranked from least to most) Why do people have to keep using those love messages in their PMs? For example "When you use your lips, it better be on me!" OMG!!! When and where do you people learn this kind of stuff? And the most important point is who you are refering to. Many people just write it and full stop, leaving it haging in the air. Then, when people look at it, they're like "What? Who? When? Why? How? Who?"
Hey c'mon, if you want to express your love to someone, just do it full-heartedly in front of her, unless you know that she confirm would not like you. If that is the case, then you should stop chasing her! When you think you got chance then you should not be afraid to tell her. In any case, just tell her directly, instead of telling everybody else indirectly.
And dont be emo just because she rejected you. There are a million people out there. Maybe you might meet someone you like on the way to school, or even on the bus. All I am saying is that everybody should keep an open mind and heart.
Back to school... then again maybe not

Hi people, whom ever that is still reading this blog even though it was dormant for so many eons already.
Guess what? I am sick, but luckily it is not H1N1. I am down with a contagious disease that is known to occur to those who have contracted chicken pox before by overexerting and tiring your body. It is also known as Shingles. Hiazz.... Have to miss school for one week until next week Tuesday. (Monday is Youth Day.) This is just the extended holiday that I have been wishing for.
I still love basketball! Hope I would be able to pass down my skills to the children from the Hougang Student Care center.
Good luck to those in school trying to put up a good fight with the upcoming tests and assignments. =)
Long time no post

I think i will give up on the idea of writing the post number onto every post... too time consuming...
Finally in thailand Phuket now. The tests are finally over but i think i screwed up some of them. Anyways, in Phuket now and enjoying myself here, in the land of mystery and surprises. (you know what i mean. The experts exchange. READ BETWEEN THE LINES)
Does anyone know how to pronounce Phuket correctly? Is it PH- or P-? No w0rries.
Phuket has really cheap things for sale. They sell food here like 1 to 2 dollars (Singapore) cheaper. In fact, a family of 4 can eat in a food court with air-conditioning for a sum total of only <20 dollars! Imbah right.
Thats all for now. GTG BB qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm
