so halo 3 is out!!
finally know how it ends cause the storyline was posted up on er...somewhere in a website.
so basically mc lands back on earth and our planet's been ravaged by covenant loyalists, those who stayed loyal to the prophets even after finding out the truth about halo.
the covenant loyalists seemed to have unearthed a huge artifact which was under new mobassa (a destroyed city in africa). mc, commander keyes, a seargant named johnson, and some marines head to an UNSC (united nations space command) outpost. mc is then given orders by lord hood to destroy all covenant air defenses that were set up around the unearthed artifact. he succeeds in completing this task with the arbiter, but thr prophet of truth activates the artifact and opens up a huge slipspace portal, which the covenant loyalist ships escape.
as the humans weigh their options, a flood-infested ship enters earth form the portal, and they spread rapidly through the city. after fighting the flood for a bit, the arbiter, mc and a convenant fleet that escaped from the prophets decides to follow truth through the portal. they arrive at another huge forerunner structure known as the ark, located outside the milky way galaxy. this is the place where all halo rings could be activated by remote. mc and the arbiter push through to the control room, barely in time to stop truth from activating the halos. commander keyes dies when trying to stop truth from using seargant johnson to activate the ring, because the ringsrequired a chosen living being known as a Reclaimer to be activated.
meanwhile, a flood-infested convenant loyalist homeworld teleports to somewhere near the ark. after truth was killed by mc and the arbiter, they find out that a new ring was being constructed, to replace the one mc destroyed in halo 1.
before boarding the new halo, mc decides to go find his AI, cortana and they do so in the covenant loyalist homeworld, high charity. they then blow high charity up, and gravemind, who was on it, was seemingly killed.
mc, the arbiter and seargant johnson board the new halo and they find out that gravemind was still alive. they attempt to fire the unfinished halo to kill gravemind, since it would not send signals to the other halos for them to fire too, so that the whole galaxy would not be destroyed, but only living beings within a specific radius would die. an AI on the halo killed seargant johnson as he tried to fire it, and mc destroys the AI and puts the halo into countdown mode and escapes with the arbiter from the control room in a vehicle, crashing onto an UNSC ship which they use to escape halo. the arbiter mans the ship in the cockpit, while mc and his AI, cortana, control the engine thrusters at the back. while attempting to escape from the slipspace portal they came from, the ship breaks into half because the portal was closing. the half which mc was on was left behind while the arbiter managed to escape through the portal.
stranded, mc sits down and leans onto the console which cortana was amplified from. he looks down, resigned, while cortana said.
"It's been nice serving with you, John." (John is mc's real name.)
then the halo goes off.
back on earth, a memorial was held for all the dead soldiers. a truce was formed between the remaining covenant non-loyalists and humans. then the arbiter leaves for his home world, together with the covenant.
but mc didn't die! after the credit roll, it is revealed that he and cortana did manage to make it into slipspace but ended in an unknown location in space. cortana drops a distress beacon, but it might be years befor ethey were found. but mc already had plans when cortana revelaed that. climbing into a cyrogenic chamber, he said,
"Call me when you need me."
then, the scene changes. a big time lapse had occured, and half a UNSC destroyer was shown floating towards a planet that looks like earth.
the end
the fight for earth ends here. =D

wahaha!
bio and physics exemption!! confirmed today! woots!!!
no nid mug bio and physics liao!!!
yesh!!!!
anyway, today's heart dissection was super fun =D.
got to slice up a pig's heart and poke my fingers into it XD.
the smell was a bit strong but luckily my nose is half blocked so i couldn't smell much. apparently it must have been bad since shaun lum almost puked when he smelt the fragrance of a freshly cut pig's heart.
but obviously his sadistic instincts overcame his urge to puke and i saw him sticking four fingers into a heart and waving it about.
and cheng siang was laughing away sadistically almost throughout the lesson. he ended up slicing and ripping the heart he had into tiny pieces.
our heart was left relatively intact, with the four chamber still in a piece each.
most interesting practical lesson i've ever been through in my life! =D
will post some very graphic images of sliced up pig's hearts here once yubin sends them to me.
and i bet u might never want to eat pig's organ soup after you see it.
and here's a nice little video i found in youtube. its actually the song "we live in Singapura" performed in the mr brown show, with a flash video accompanying it. nicer than the original, in my opinion, although the subtitles sometimes may not match and the flash may really "flash" by too fast. enjoy =D.
and here's some stupid pics i found somewhere on the net.

yes!!
i've finally finished studying chem!!
the load of just 1 science subject made me realised how much i needed exemption from bio and physics. if not, i would be studying TWO science subjects with DOUBLE the amount to memorise compared to chemistry. and i would not have time to last-minute study some IH.
anyway, i've almost given up on this year, cos the chances of me getting a good grade for IH is almost as good as the probability of cheng aik restarting his blog properly. practically nil, if that's the case.
anyway, halo 3's only 2 days away =D. might post the plot up to spoil it for the rest of u ppl playing halo.
and today was almost the worst day ever. was forced by my mom to study chem and maths. not to say i didn't slack when she wasn't looking =(. sheesh, where did my self-discpline go...seriously...
meanwhile, i am experiencing severe malnutrition in terms of chinese ace, and i nid to pull it up before i fail chinese. too. only got 7 out of 15. good game liao. other than that, all my other subjects' ace are above 12, so that should be good enough.
good luck everybody for EOYs, and may the mugger be with you!

haiz...physics = G_G.
for those who don't know, gg = good game = diediediediediediediediediedie
which generally means i screwed physics
highest i can get is 28/35, which is bad cos i will most definitely make careless mistakes. that's just my bad habit, for some reason. so it will end up about 24/35. omfg...like i said, G_G.
hopefully exemption can come and save me from drowing in my own pool of failures.
ok...maybe that was exaggaration, but nevertheless, this year is screwed.
all thanks to IH. thank you IH. i love you so much that i could JUST GO OVER AND STRANGLE YOU!!!
why do we even have something called IH?? why cant we just DROP it??!?! i calculated that IH singlehandedly caused my MSG to be above 2.2 in term 1 and two. in fact, in term 3, the points the rest of my subjects accumulated was only about 9. then IH just had to come along and kill me with a frigging 12 points! heh. did i ever do something bad to you in my previous life? if so, i apologise to you now, and let me pass you, IH...dun make your 2 AU kill me. pls. pls!!!!
anyway, today's meeting with the minister of education was overall, boring. mr tharman just asked us about our boarding school experience and how we feel about IP. in fact, i feel that he did not have to request us to be there at all. because all 3 of his sons are in hwa chong, so why ask us? but nvm, im not complaining. i would have slacked off at home anyway.
my class is going crazy over pokemon cards. for some reason.
ok, maybe not crazy, but people are already playing it in the class. and these kinds of "fads" usually spread fast in my class. i wouldn't be surprised if a pokemon card tournament appears suddenly after EOYs.
oh yes...and yu-gi-oh duel monster cards too, another card game competing to gain superiority in my class.
crap...i think i'm being affected. somehow i took out my deck for no reason, something i had not touched in years. i had to blow dust off the cards. literally.
no....must...concentrate...on...studies...for...now...
halo 3 and EOYs still coming closer.
earth is shattered and occupied. one hero rises to continue the fight.

darn...EOYs only a few more days to go.
and still no revision on humanities (geog and social studies) done.
i don't know how i'm going to do any revision on those two stupid subjects, because everytime i pick up my geography pill for at the most 10 seconds, i feel like as if i just took 20 sleeping pills. then...
anyway, i managed to get 72 for a mock chem exam =D. not bad, considering the fact that i did not even study beforehand, and not referring to notes even though it was open book (well, it was because i forgot to bring them actually). however, the chem teacher said this was one of the easiest papers ever set. great...just the motivation i needed...
i think i'm just going to ignore what she said. ignorance is bliss.
and...halo 3 is coming closer too! it's quite a big distraction...but i've managed to try and stop finding spoilers for halo 3 XD.
anyway, for those of you who don't know about this, here's a brief overview of what happened in the halo series so far.
in halo 1, master chief, the main protagonist who wear's that armour, had just escaped, barely, from a technologically superior alien race know as the covenant. the covenant totally destroyed one of the human's planets, known as reach. they targeted it because all of earth's supersoldiers, like mc (master chief) were assembled there to get armour upgrades. so they take advantage and kill them all. almost. mc survives and is assumed to be the only spartan (supersoldier) alive. he goes on to discover a holy relic which the covenant worship and discover that it is actually a super weapon capable of blowing up every sentient being in the galaxy. that is, if all 7 of them are fired. they are known as : halos. obviously, they are ring-shaped. if one of them fires, the others will follow due to some communication device. so the crazy covenant, not knowing about the halo's true ability, goes on to think that activating halo will bring them to what they call, "the great journey". so they try and activate it but mc blows it up first, stopping them. then mc escapes with his AI, cortana, and proceeds back to reach, where he finds that some of his fellow spartans have survived (kelly, william, fred, kurt and linda). they all go back to earth to help protect it as the covenant draws closer and closer to our most precious foothold. earth, of course.
halo 1 ends and halo 2 begins with mc in a space station, known as cairo, receiving some awards for bravery and things like that. then suddenly, with no warning, a small (relatively small) covenant space fleet begins to invade earth. mc is assigned to defend the cairo station, which he succeeds, "returning" the bomb the convenant planted in the station. he then falls through space and lands on a human destroyer, which brings him back to earth.
on earth, humans are getting defeated, one battle after another. mc comes in to crush some covenant troops, including a scarab walker (some giant thing which looks like a scorpion which pulverises anything with a huge plasma cannon). mc gets on the human destroyer and follows an escaping covenant destroyer through slipspace (alternate dimension which allows people to teleport). there, another halo is found and the stupid covenant try to go and activate it again. mc tries to stop them, but when he killed their leader (a prophet), he gets blasted out of the sky by the covenant destroyer and lands in the sea (yes the halos do have water bodies). then, the focus shifts to another character. the arbiter, a rebelling alien, known as an elite (sanghelli, in alien) is betrayed and he also lands up in the same place as mc, saved by a giant parasitic form known as th flood. this particular flood was their leader, called gravemind. halos, were in fact designed to stop these forms by killing all sentient beings so that they have nothing to feed on. so gravemind sends mc and the arbiter to stop the insane convenant troops from getting the key to fire halo. mc, unfortunately, gets sent into the middle of a covenant base. luckily, he survives due to a civil war going on there. apparently, news of what halos actually do (kill everyone) have leaked out among the ranks and many of them began to rebel. they have found out that the prophets have betrayed them.
the arbiter, however, finds the owner of the key. a pack brutes, another race in the covenant. and their leader, tartarus. there, he chases after them and eventually kills tartarus and stops halo from firing. barely. however, due to this close shutdown, all other halos are put on to remote comtrol and can be fired from somewhere known as the ark.
the focus shifts back to mc, who successfully hitched a ride in a forerunner ship (a race even more powerulf than the covenant, but have mysteriously disappeared. they built the halos). it teleports back to where earth is, and mc gets into radio contact with lord hood, a human commanding officer. lord hood then asks someone to get them on a private channel, where he asks:
"Master Chief, can I know what the hell are you doing on that ship?"
Chief: "Sir. Finishing this Fight"
*cuts off*
awaiting to finish the fight in halo 3 XD
P.S. this is not even half the full plot of halo.

EOY's are creeping closer and closer to me.
started revision, like 2 days ago, but i'm not sure if it's going to be enough.
anyway, badminton training was great today. i'm finally back on form and managed to lose to the assistant coach only by 3 points (final score was 21~18). yesh! big improvement from last week for some reason, when i lost by 11 points O.o (21~10).
that may be saying something, or maybe not. maybe he was just letting me or he was off form...
anyway, it's still quite a morale booster!
time to go cheong bio revision now, for the test tomorrow. the test is going to be damn hard...the stack of notes i have to read, digest and memorise amounts to nearly 4cm in thickness. and i have to do it in less than 6 hours. difficult, but not impossible. but highly improbable. maybe i'm just fighting a battle here, on the losing side.

flag day yesterday was okay, besides from the boredom and a bit of embarrasment.
my skin became like 5 times thcker after yesterday.
it was kind of difficult at first, not knowing what to say, how to approach them. but after a while, i got used to it. my confidence was also boosted by some kind souls who gladly came forward and donated to me. some even donated 5-dollar notes! a big thank you to you, whoever you are!
however, a majority of the people weren't like this in fact, after 4 hours of selling fla stickers, i found out that there were 3 major ways o in which these people tried to avoid donating.
- pretending to be in a hurry, like as if you are going to miss a bus or train. this was the most commonly used method by people who wanted to avoid donating. it was also kind of easy for them to do so since i was stationed near an MRT station and a bus stop. so try not to do so, if one day, you have the misfortune to do such a task.
- pretending to be engaged in an intense conversation. second most used method. one woman was super funny. she was standing beside her son while going up the escalator, not talking to him at all. then suddenly when she saw me holding my holy can of extortion, she started to talk to her son very quickly about some tests, and her son looked utterly bewildered. seriously, if you don't want to donate, just smile and say no. isn't that a lot easier?
- avoid eye contact. shorter people tend to look down, while people taller than you will tend to look up, pretending not to have seen you or heard you asking them for a donation. people who are about as tall as you will look away or grab their phone and pretend to sms, or just look at a sign behind you.
i don't know why these people don't want to help, but maybe a 10 cent coin is worth everything to them. in that case, i won't mind, but i doubt it is.
omg! yes i think i better start work now. the boy living above me has finally stopped singing or crying! yes! i think he fell asleep! better take this golden chance to do some work!

the holiday spirit is just not there anymore.
september holidays has just turned into another week of endless mugging and mugging and mugging...
not that i really did that much mugging anyway...but still, it was more than what i did in any september holiday before. in fact, i don't remember mugging this much even during the september holidays just before my PSLE!
and i'm not sure whether it would help in my EOY exams.
just hope that my bio and physics will have exemption...that would relieve half the workload...
and my stupid SMRP mentor went off to slack...until now still haven't finish marking our proposal (which was handed in during MARCH). and now, he's not in singapore and we can't hand in our research paper! anyway, i seem to be soloing it cos i dunno what the other two group members are doing... if you two are reading this, just to let you know that while you've been slacking somewhere in a LAN gaming centre (well, maybe not, but still not doing anything for the project), i've finished everything. except the abstract, that is... maybe i will let you finish it so your marks won't be penalised so heavily for slacking.
and for some stupid reason which i don't know, i've started to play maplestory again. don't ask me why and laught at me if you want to...just don't let me hear. thx.
oh yea, and the crazy guy living above me still hasn't given up trying to singapore idol yet. really driving me nuts! everyday, he goes on some idiotic screaming and terrible singing for hours! in fact, he decided to further show his talents by playing some horrible piano tune with no rhythm or melody at all durin 11pm. great...now he doesn't even let me sleep! hey, if you know you aren't really good at playing the piano, practise sometimes when everyone's not at home ok?? if you didn't know that, now you know!
doing flag day tomorrow, from about 8am to 1pm. if you see me there dun dao me...donate money to help the um...i dunno who i'm actually helping...but just donate to help some funny organization located somewhere in Singapore.
well, halfway through writing this i decided to stop doing work for a while and go watch the simpsons. so signing off here. now.
