Ah, yes... This morning's bus wasn't so bad. It wasn't that clogged up. We managed to get up. So we got to school. I had my exam.

It was not good.

I think I made some very stupid mistakes in the maths paper. And I couldn't remember some of the words tested in Chinese. Oh, well.

It started pouring after I had a bite with Yee Sin and Pearlyn. Neeh, we didn't talk much. It soon started to rain so heavily they decided to retreat to the confines of the school library until pearlyn's dad comes to fetch them. I decided to go relax myself.

I walked out of the school through the front gate. Like I said, it was still raining. A couple of girls ahead of dashed across the road to the bus stop when they were sure no cars were coming. I walked out into the rain.

Ah... Yes.

I walked across the road, didn't bother to run. By the time I reached cover I was half-drenched. It felt good, though. If only I didn't have a bag and I wasn't wearing my uniform.

I got home, took a shower. Trimmed my nails. They were getting a little long... I noticed it when I almost skinned my scalp when it got itchy during the exam. Looked like the rain stopped. Then I did some computer work, ate some noodles, and took a nap.

When I got up again I continued at the computer after taking out my contacts. When my father went out to fetch my mum I took another nap.

So I got woke up by a phone call. Well, it was nothing much.

After dinner I finally started on A Maths, which was the paper tomorrow. I was watching Star Sports, and all the action distracted me a little. By little I mean I only go through the formulas during the commercial breaks. After a while I looked at the time and a realisation hit me: I missed Titanic. Again. I wonder how long this epic was going to elude me. Maybe when I finally understand love I can, you know, finally cry like a little girl at a movie.

Then I saw this World Snooker Trick Shots Championship at around 9.30. All of them were great. It involved really fancy and cheeky shots on the snooker table, and while you're setting up you'd usually joke a little.

Here are some of the jokes I heard from the show, they were contracted (briefly) to save space. Here's the first one:

Q: What's a shih-tzu?
A: A zoo without animals.

Did anyone get that? Well, obviously I did. There's another couple here. They need to be spoken in a British accent to be in full effect, but let me try and put this in words anyway. I made some changes to make more sense. I'm not sure if you get it at first for the second one, but try anyway.

Jerry was lying in hospital, and he was masked, so he couldn't speak properly. So when the nurse came by, he asked the nurse something that sounded like, "Are my testicles black?" The nurse was, of course, shocked to hear this, and just in case she heard wrongly, she said, "I beg your pardon?" He said again, "Are my testicles black?" The nurse was going nuts. She haven't such a weird question her whole life. She checked again, and said, "I beg your pardon!" So Jerry, a little annoyed at her reactions, said the same thing again. So the nurse pulled the curtains, pulled down his pants and checked, and then she told him, "Sir, your testicles are fine. They're not black." A little amused, Jerry pulled off his mask, smiled and said, "What I said was, 'Are my test results back?'"

There was a friend of Linda's who was going to London, so she told him, "When you go to there, help me look for my son, Neily Dunn. He hasn't written in four months, and we haven't heard a word from him." So he agreed. "Sure, what's his address?" Linda told him, "London, WC no. 1" So he went to London, and went to a door with "WC" printed on it. He went in, saw number 1, knocked the door and asked, "Are you Neily Dunn?" The voice behind the door said, "Yeah, but I don't have paper." Then he said, "That's no excuse to not write to your mother!"

There's some more... Let me think. Ah! Yes. This one's not bad.

Frank and Cliff were playing pool. halfway, Frank went to the bathroom, and came out with his fly unzipped. So when he doing his far shot and had his leg on the table, Cliff saw it and said, "Frank, there's a snake on the table." Frank, who was obviouly oblivious to the situation, said, "Where?" And Cliff pointed towards his crotch. Hurriedly, Frank slammed down hard on it and yelled, "Ouch! You better help me here I think it bit me!"

Yeah, so there you go. Hope you got it. Anyway, during one of the commercial breaks I saw these Olympics ads that had the slogan "Celebrate Humanity". One of them had a voice over that said 3 lines, but I only caught like 2 of them.

It went something like, "You are my adversary, but you're not my enemy. I seek to defeat you, but if I do, I will not humiliate you. I will honour you. For without you, I am a lesser person."

I leave you with this half-misquoted quote from Jack in Titanic (I managed to catch 10 minutes of it): "Life is a gift. I don't intend to waste it. I make it count."
