Bel has informed me that Hideout is having a “Back To School” theme night at Hideout this coming Saturday 11th June 2005. Awesome! Chicks in uniform. Was there ever a better excuse to parrrty? Growwl.

Never there
You’re never there
You’re never, ever, ever, ever there

A golden bird that flies away, a candle’s fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday, your love was just a game

Before groups like Limp Bizkit or Crazy Town were cool, a little known group called Cake released an incredible remake of the Gloria Gaynor’s 70s disco classic I Will Survive. For a little while, a meme (only we didn’t know wtf a meme was back in 1997) was running wild. People would call up 98.7FM and dedicate songs to their exes proclaiming I Will Survive. They had a few other hits as well, but none were as memorable as it.

So here are some Cake tunes, of which Never There is one of my favs, and magically appears on my iPod’s random mode regularly for no apparent reason apart from the fact it really makes me angry (the song)

in other news, Coldplay is the most insufferable band of the decade.

Remember the local magazine “Big O”? I used to dig it alot before Chris Ho became X’ho and got all strange on us.

I just found out they have a website and of course I had to go spend sometime there. Loads of interesting shite to read there. But this one in particular caught my eye - lookout for the animation at the top - totally distracting!

During a short break during my training course today, I decided to be friendly and talk to my coursemate who sits directly behind me. Usually, I don’t speak to anybody much because on weekdays, I’m too brain-dead after work to study and be sociable. But today was a Saturday and I had gotten more then enough rest the night before so I guess it was time to start networking abit lest they think I’m some moody asshat.

I have been feeling sore about having to sign a bond with my current organization for this training, but then she shared with me that she had been bonded as well by her company and the length of her aforementioned bond was twice that of mine.

She and another lady, are struggling to keep up with the pace of the class. In fact, they are doing all they can to try and pass the examination next month. In this lies my dilemma. You see, I want to help them - but if I do so, I will shoot myself in the foot.

The exams are taken electronically, synchronized with the rest of the training centers in Asia Pacific. Once you complete the exam, you will know the results immediately. The passing rate is rather low as the exam is damned tough. The exact passing mark is unknown. The median score for all the people sitting for the exam is determined by the average score. This means if there are too many smart people, you will need to score higher to pass. The inverse is true.

The inverse is true!

So for me to confidently pass, I would need another person to do badly so the median can be lowered. Isn’t that just f87kin evil? On the other hand, if I don’t pass I will have to reimburse my organization a huge sum of money plus damages prorated to the day.

This must be one of those tests that determine if you can enter heaven when you die. Dammit.
