(Yeah, I'm watching Definite Article)
Doo doo doo doo. I'm only updating this cos of... *incoherent mumbling*
Monday, decided to make myself take undang by this week (i.e. sunday, since I've just realised debate is on saturday, and it's a whole day thing), Tuesday, went to Sue's place, then Swensen's (Tuesday is half price Earthquake day!) with S, Pikky and Lynette. Wednesday, got completely fucked over by Ms. K because some bastards decided to be brutally honest. This is why I keep my mouth shut. So now for Econs we have to do a presentation/research. Which is due next week.
Also, tomorrow there will be a Stats test. Double also, I'm only up to about question 325/500 in the undang book. Triple also, I will be starting/finishing aforementioned Econs thing on Friday when Amalia and Naomi come over. Qintup. ...No, Quadruple also, I must not eat pears. Quintuple also, the ISA thing for M'sian Studies is due on the seventh, Sextuple also also, SPM results out... sometime next month. Mid-March, anyway.
Is that all? Yeah.
Ooh, nooo. Saturday. Saturdaaay. Please let 'em be there. Although I'm projecting again, probably.

Luck this for a Fark
Malaysian Studies, I'm looking at you.
Almost completed the Singapore part of assignment. Going to school to finish the rest tomorrow (I hope).
I cannot believe how much I had to write about S'pore v M'sia (not in that way). Bloody over 1300 words long (admittedly, some filched from wiki...but hey! my ideas. Umkay? Umkay).
So...tomorrow: tackle Brunei & Sabah.
And next week, we'll be doing something on Politics and the Constitution! Yay!
Ugh.

Sticky
I wonder what those "Sticky" things on forums are.
Played rock band. Whee! Lucky jeek doesn't have it in the house, or I'd be playing all day, instead of doing maths or m'sian studies assignment. In all honesty, I could prolly whip something up in an hour of last minute panic, but that wouldn't be... fun? authentic? Honest. Besides, the question is pretty interesting.
After a day on tv tropes, I promise to have a day of work tomorrow.
(yeah, right)

Yeah, okay, right, uhuh.
This is overspill from a comment on Lin's blog.
(Firstly, I must say, I'm not entirely sure I have something against all organized religion. It's prolly just Jack-fucking-Chick)
So, right, Jack Chick is this christian fellow who is really, really devout and passionate about his religion. All good so far. He publishes tracts, little booklets that (attempt to) introduce you to god/jesus and all his disciples. Okay, a little pushy, but still perfectly socially acceptable. And then, you read this nonsense.
Um. Right. First of all, Darwin's theory of evolution does not say we "changed from apes to humans". Man did not descend from chimpanzees or gorillas. We share an ancestor with them. Looking at chimps or gorillas or bonobos or orang utans today, we are not looking at our primitive past, but our modern cousins. Honestly, I'm quite fuzzy as to the actual details of human evolution, but I'm pretty damn sure we didn't "change from apes to humans" magically.
Secondly, no teacher is like that, especially not science teachers. Science is about learning, and the further techonology advances, the more we learn, and new knowledge is successfully mined from the glorious seething mass of life and the universe. As new knowledge is gained, old theories become obsolete, or are found to be incorrect, or are added upon, and papers are published, and articles are written in magazines, and so we learn and understand. I think one of the characteristics of science is that it is always changing. There is always something more to discover, something new to understand. Scientists have to constantly keep their minds open to be able to discover something new, and evaluate the evidence, and, if all is inorder, support their theories wholeheartedly. If anything, creationism is the old stick-in-the-mud. It has not changed since the time of the Bible, and people are still championing it today.
I was gonna go on, but I give up. There's too much bile that'll be wasted here. I'm going to curl up with a nice Stephen Fry and concentrate on the real world. You're welcome to go ahead and read these, though. Warning: You will feel immense frustration at the sheer ignorance of these nonsenses. Better still, go to the index page and note the "Adapted for black audiences". That's right, because black people won't empathise if the character isn't black, right? They're different from white people, right?
Fuck off.
