Hi again, anyway as I was saying about world maths day, we got 3rd in the whole world!! Isn't that cool? We even stayed back after school to 8 to play! Though no one in our form got an amazingly incredible super cool high score for it, it was a team effort to get 3rd, though I feel we're a tiny bit lifeless to do it for so many hours...My highscore was 65 though, and I'm happy with that =p

So, after the craze over world maths day, we had exams the next week, so all of us needed to study hard for all the exams, such as Moral, Chemistry, Bio, ENGLISH, Physics, Maths, Add Maths etc. So I'll blog some other time, got stuff to do now so see ya =)

Hello

Sorry for not blogging for such a long time, busy, had exams to study for, etc.. So, being really outdated with news(as well as finding something to talk about in the blog), I'm gonna talk bout world maths day!

For your information, it can be found at worldmathsday.com and its a maths game where you answer simple maths questions(add, subtract, multiply and division) within a minute, answering as many as possible. Many of us put a lot of effort into playing world maths day, as it counts 20% of our mid semester.

We played for about 3 days, some of us staying up till late at night to play it. The form 2s and 3s even brought numpads to help them type the numbers faster, which showed how obsessed they are over this =p Though I admit we(F4 Group A) were just as bad, though not being as fast and insane people. Gonna split this post into 2(or maybe more posts) since this is reasonably long enough. =)

Why is the earth round..

If some people I know were to be asked this question, they would probably respond "because it isn't flat". Anyway, I'm just randomly talking nonsense already, after already creating 3 posts with a lot of junk. 

Moving on, still unable to get inspiration. So, what do I do now??? No idea. How about I write about some anime? Yes, I know I'm sorta lifeless to watch so much anime, but in my defense, I don't watch that many compared to some people I know =S I'll just talk about the most recent anime series that I have watched(1 month ago), which is Busou Renkin. It means arms alchemy, and the characters have a slab of metal(Busou Renkin) which can turn into a form of weapon which was different abilities. The beginning revolves about using these weapons to fight 'homunculus', where the main character is saved by a girl through the Busou Renkin, and learns to wield it to protect the ones he care about. 

This anime is a bit of a love story with the two main characters and the fights kind of lack detail and ingenuity, in contrast with some battle scenes from other anime, but its not too bad.

For more information, please check wikipedia =p

As the title suggests, I have another 2 more posts to fill up to finish off my blog assignment for this week, before I start doing my Sejarah assignment =( Hmm, seeing as I haven't done this before in my blog, I'll just tell a reasonably lengthy joke just to fill up some space, and perhaps produce a laugh in the readers of my blog.

A man, who worked as a bus conductor, had a very bad temper. One day, there was an old lady who was trying to pay the fee, took so long to get the coins. After about 3-5 minutes, the bus conductor got so mad, he killed the old lady(sorry for the violence). He was sent to court and sentenced to death by electric chair. When asked for any last requests, he asked for 7 pounds of bananas, and ate them. Then the switch was turned on, yet he was not electrified. 

So, he somehow got his old job back, where he saw 2 boys being very playful and making a lot of noise. Again, he got so angry he killed them. He was sentenced to death again by electric chair. When asked for any last requests, he had the same request, for 7 pounds of bananas and ate them. Then the switch was turned on, yet he didn't die. 

Somehow, he amazingly got his old job back for the 2nd time. Then, there was this man who left a pile of rubbish as he left the bus. The man got so angry, he killed the other man, and got sentenced to death by electric chair again. Again, he had the same request - 7 pounds of bananas- and ate them. But again, he didn't die. 

So, why do you think he didn't die after he ate the 7 pounds of bananas? Anyone?

Because he was a BAD CONDUCTOR. Haha. Sorry for wasting all your time on this post. This was just done for fun =S

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Yet I will not post a picture =p Though I once heard about someone putting a picture with another 200 words for writing his/her commonwealth essay, which I found to be quite an interesting idea haha..

Anyway, to anyone who reads this, I will not be in school tomorrow(Tuesday, 23 February 2009) as I will be going for MSSKL for chess again for a team event. Interestingly, Justin will also be joining me even though he did not go for the previous MSSKL as he had MSSKL for swimming. With his presence in this tournament, I hope that we will be able to get GOLD as that's why we're all there tomorrow as we were not able to get gold for the previous MSSKL due to some unfortunate circumstances.

I would also like to say that I'm happy that today is a holiday and I just realized that there has been 3 school holidays on Monday this month =) 

Zirconium.

Hi, been a while since I last blogged. Amazed to have 2 followers for my blog, and would like to express my thanks to them = ) So, what can I talk about in this post? It would seem I need another 4 more posts for this week, but I'm quickly running out of ideas to write about.

So, for this post, I'll talk about the swimming gala. Arrived at cheras at 6.30. Warmed up a bit, then walked around for a while... Waited till my event, swam(and got last) and waited again. I spent most of my time at the swimming gala helping out with the CF booths, where Miss Kelly was very 'semangated'(compared to the rest of us) about selling our food, which were nuggets, sausages and some conflake cookie sort of thing.

Went back at 12.00, though I didnt really catch the results for swimming gala, as Sin Han's mum had already come. Reached home, had chicken rice for lunch and that concludes this boring post... Have a good day!

Fishsticks are tasty.

Oh no! tomorrow is the cayley competition! oh well, having not done much preparation (except for helping Adrian do Q19 in the 2008 Cayley Paper which we got from Miss Jeanne), I'm sure that no one else have done any preparation as well =) So, I dont really feel so bad after all.

For your information, the Cayley Contest is a Canadian Maths Competition which comes from Canada and is named after a mathematician called Arthur Cayley which contributed to the Cayley-Hamilton theorum which states states that every group G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group on G. Anyone understand that?!?!

Well, let me explain, you see....the theorum is about some stuff about matrix which we have not learnt yet and probably will never learn in the next 5 years of our life =)

Anyway, I'm just randomly talking nonsense to fill up space. Being a sort of "perfectionist" which many would not agree with that, I find that I HAVE to fill a post of at least decent length. Anyway, that is all for now so, have a nice day. Don't steal, don't take drugs and don't smoke =)

Hi guys... back again after a long break of laziness and slacking(ahem).. so, just back from msskl chess, missed 4 days of school =( however, being the brilliant and hardworking student that i am(=p), i managed to do all my homework and am not lagging behind in homework at the moment, unlike some people =)

Quite depressed with this year's msskl, got 3rd for team event for chess(which was the first time in like, 4 years) so it was really sad for the members of the team..however, I am quite happy to get 6th in individual event, and even make Zhuo Ren get 2nd(instead of 1st) which would be a long story that I'm lazy to go into right now, which involves explaining the tiebreaks in chess.

Anyway, i believe that by the end of this week, i would probably owe 5 posts including this one, so I hope to be able to reduce that to 0 by the end of this week. Till the next post(which might probably come like, 2 minutes later) or so.

3rd post of the week!

Which means I'm done blogging about this week. Currently, I am out of inspiration of what to write, yet I'm sure that I'll get something to write on as I'm typing all this to stall some time as well as fill some space =p

Anyway, let's talk about.............. an anime! There's an anime about baking bread called Yakitate Japan!(first thing that came into my mind, or was it second or third?), which is actually quite interesting in a weird way, though the name is rather weird... I know a lot of people who follow it(or finished it) So, this anime is about a young boy who is a genius at baking bread, and has to overcome challenges to bake the best bread for the country(which is Japan) as a national bread. 

Although there are parts of it which kinda make sense, especially the scientific parts about baking bread and its techniques, there are also some very weird aspects of this show. One fine example is that when someone eats a really good bread, you get a 'reaction' which makes you do crazy stuff or transform, or go to some insane hallucination and etc. However, this becomes quite significant as the show progresses = | Anyway, its a nice anime and people should watch it, as its quite humorous at times.

Anyway, at least I found something to blog about, and I'm happy that my posts aren't that short(i.e. 3 lines?) as SOME PEOPLE! though I'm not sure who =p I'm just sure that there are those who probably type hi and post it =)

I like my dog.

Hello again! Writing another post so soon after my previous one.. Still gonna write about my CNY holidays again, nothing else to write =( Well anyway, on Saturday, my family had a sort of open house, which was actually more of a farewell to the neighborhood since we are going to move to Taman Desa somewhere in the year. We basically invited some neighbors and relatives, not really that big a gathering but oh well. 

Surprisingly, with all the fuss about Chinese New Year and stuff, we ended up having MALAY food after all haha... seems that parents think that since there were a couple of malay guests, they might as well get malay food.. oh well.. we ate the food, talked a while, and they went back home eventually. 

On a different note, I was a bit annoyed that Nadal beat Federer in the Australian Open =( Federer was making too many careless mistakes thoughout the game, but oh well... I actually don't mind Nadal winning, its just that I hate the sounds he makes when he hits every ball.. its kinda annoying, haha.

Oh..

It would seem that we were supposed to post 3 posts every week and not just 3 posts, which means that I have made a mistake in my last post =( Anyway, I'm sure everyone else will be talking about Chinese New Year, about the new year food, the 'yee sang' etc... Although I WOULD like to talk about something else, I guess that I need to write something about Chinese New Year just for the purpose of getting 3 posts this week(probably need a while to think of something to write for the next post).

So, how was my Chinese New Year?? It was alright... Had a 3 hour trip to Segamat(which is in Johor). Left in morning, arrived in afternoon. Met relatives, wished everyone Happy Chinese New Year, and so on. Also received ang pau, ate new year food and stuff. Though was a bit boring, cause i forgot to bring part of my homework back to Segamat, so I had to rush to do it when I got back.. 

Nothing else much to say, came back to KL after 4 days, again in the morning. Arrived home, started doing the homework i forgot to bring, and that concludes my post for now. Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

3rd.

This might probably be one of my final posts for this blog, as I'm not the kind of person that really enjoys blogging a lot. So here goes =p

On Saturday, I attended a sort of farewell dinner for a former classmate of ours, whose name is Ong Wen Lin. It was at an Italian restaurant in Bangsar, and a big number of my classmates attended the dinner =) It was a sort of buffet dinner with Italian food(obviously).. We planned some surprise for her and forced her to give a speech standing on a chair, which was not my idea, as I probably wouldn't have wanted to give a speech as well =)

On Sunday, I also attended Tim's farewell gathering at One Utama. Played a few rounds of bowling(almost beat Adrian =(  ), played pool, walked around One Utama etc. Was quite fun... I even bought a dragon fruit ice cream which was very interesting.

Anyway, thats all for today... if Wen Lin or Tim sees this post, I'd like to wish you guys good luck for your new school in Australia =) Bye!

Hello again, this is my second post for this blog... half way doing my commonwealth essay at the moment, but I took a short break to make a post for this blog. So anyway, I was just looking at some of my friend's blogs so as to acquire some inspiration for writing my post, and I'd like to say i find Adrian's blog name(maythisdaybelikeanyother.blogspot.com) very interesting and I'm surprised that i even remember it =p

I'd also like to point out another blog which I like which would be alvin's blog (alvinsoojx.blogspot.com). I found the blog very meaningful and humorous(although quite long)especially as a fellow Christian and I'd advise everyone to read it even though they're not a Christian =)

Anyway, i'm just going to continue my commonwealth essay now, i'll post the third one some other time. =)

About Me...

Well, my name is Lim Jien Min, from Sri Cempaka Damansara. This blog was created on the request of my English teacher, Cik Azura.

What can I say about myself.... well, I'm a Form 4 student studying in the Science stream. I like to play badminton, chess, frisbee etc. I also like mentally challenging games and many other stuff, which i do not feel like posting on this blog as I don't really feel like it, and that I strongly believe that putting too much personal information online is an unhealthy habit, so I'll end my post here =p

I'll have my next few posts up soon, as I need to complete 3 posts for my English teacher, so I hope you enjoy reading them, which I'm very sure that no one would. =)

I would also like to say hi to all my friends and also to my English teacher when you read this. =)
