Ye Olde New Year

Yup, thats right folks , we've managed to survive the financial crunch, Y2K, Swine flu and Nuclear apocalypse to be here today. One day separates us from the year 2011. I'm wondering why I even care about it, its just a new year for God's sake ! But, you might as well just go with the flow. I've noticed that a lot of people, (my fellow bloggers included) have developed a list of their fondest moments in 2010 (same thing with the newspapers, sadly that isn't available in mine this year :( . Alright - Back to the story :

Number 10 on my list - The Icelandic Volcano Eruption, Don't ask me to spell it  I CAN BARELY pronounce the first 4 letters !! I liked that event because it showed how a little tiny itsy bitsy act of God (even in the form of a volcanic eruption) can practically shut us down (LITERALLY , I mean all the airports were down and out :) ).

Number 9 on my list - Swine Flu , don't get the idea that I supported Swine Flu. I'm just stating how it had affected my area of life (by giving me a month holiday :P ) but stealing another 2 months away from me >.>

Number 8 on my list - The FIFA World cup 2010 , who could forget that ? Quite an annoyance = Damn you Vevuzuela !! Spain pulled up the upset win as being the first World Cup champions to be beaten in the first round by the people who've invented Swiss Cheese.

Number 7 on my list - Harry Potter, yesh I was looking forward to the movie all year. Considering I already read the book, it was boring =.= . Lucky for me, David Yates knows how to direct a movie :D 

Number 6 on my list - How to Train My Dragon - Most EPIC Cartoonish Comedical Movie Ever ! (First to Shrek :) 

Number 5 - The 33 Chilean Miners being rescued- As being a person who listened to the rescue LIVE on BBC World Service, it was a nice sigh of relief to me and the world. FINALLY , some good news :) 

Number 4 on my list - The Wikileaks Guy , Julian Assange - Most talked about person in the world , wanted by all , stuck in a prison cell in London .

Number 3 on my list - A truly sad moment was the Oil Leak from that damned Oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, not only did it lead to millions in damage but also lead to the death of countless number of plantlife and animals.

Number 2 - My brother's graduation , truly a proud moment :)

Number 1 - The release of World of Warcraft : CATACLYSM - EPIC expansion pack :) Yes I know, I'm addicted to this game. But its too good :( 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY

Merry Christmas !

I know I haven't been posting in a while ( apologies for that) but I feel it would be very unkind of me to not wish you all a happy christmas.

So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year- Yesh, we'll be starting the "Tween" years (Dunno what that is but lets ignore that) hopefully, it would be less gruesome than the last decade.

I'm guessing its 6 days to New Year ? Hope so (don't have a watch with me v.v).

Back to the chase = Merry or Happy Christmas :D

Internet Addiction : What it does to YOU !

I have to admit, I'm an Internet/Game addict. Every time I come back home, my first visit is to ye olde PC. But really, I've got to say: I've honestly wasted half of my life on this bloody piece of hardware. Why you may ask ? Because of the latest invention of Satan : THE INTERNET

Sure, Internet has it's benefits; easy access to data, can chat with friends etc... but what if you over do it ? What if, you decide '' I'll go on facebook for 10 minutes'' then end up sitting there for up to 2 hours ! (that has happened, so many times ... ), or chatting with your friend, which might seem like minutes but actually is an hour long conversation. GOD HAS GIVEN YOU A SOUL , Use it WISELY !!

PEOPLE, I URGE YOU , DO NOT WASTE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE LOOKING AT A GLOWING RECTANGLE !!! 

A wise person once said : "People who dare waste a single second of time, have clearly not found the value of Life. 

Every moment I sit on the PC is a moment I  regret.

GOAT KILLS !!

It might sound funny, but it's true. A mountain goat has actually killed a person in the US of A. Apparently, the goat mauled the poor hiker in the Olympic National Park (WA, USA).

'
Robert Boardman was gored in the leg by the goat while out walking on Saturday with his wife and a friend on Klahhane Ridge in Olympic National Park.
The 63-year-old was transported by US Coast Guard helicopter to a hospital in Port Angeles, where he was pronounced dead.
Rangers later killed the goat, which was known for its aggressive behaviour. '

I've just got one thing to say : What a way to go o.o 

10-10-2010

Yesterday, whether you've noticed or not, was a very odd day (or date to be specific). It was the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year of this century (could you imagine that ? :P ). From what I've heard on the radio, there has been a surge in marriage because of the date. It just seems kooky to me :) 

But then, we'll only be seeing it twice in our lifetime ; 11-11-2011 and 12-12-2012  :)
so might as well enjoy it while we can.

An Interesting Fact

Yesterday was the 1st of October, 2010. In this date, you'll find a little silly code in it :

The date is , in digital version :

01/10/10         --- Put that in computing terms (100110) and that's a code that you'll use in computering.
                             Fascinating and True.

School scares me !

It's that time of the year again, where the leaves start to die and fall to their eventual rebirth, and the heat of the summer sun begins to invade the southern reaches of the world (Thank Goodness :), No... I'm not talking about winter, well... yet anyways, I'm talking about something so fearful and dreadful that even the mere mentioning of the word sends shivers down my spine : ''School''.

At this point, you'll probably feel disappointed, ''Ah , Dude ! It's just school ! Get Over It ! '' would be the typical comment I'd hear, but it's not just any other school year, it's the year I take my *coughs* IGCSE exams.

Now, to all those who have no clue what that is, It's an exam where every student, once they reach Grade 10, have to do in order to go to University (besides A-levels). Basically, it's the exam which potentially decides what you'll be doing for the rest of your life, so no pressure ! :D

While going through all my school memories, I keep one little sentence in mind at the end of each year :

''This is the End I reached before, What new adventures lie in Store ? ''

P.S. Sorry for the Delay, School's such a Burden on a Lad's Soul.
