According to a math formula worked out by Cliff Arnall, June 20th is the happiest day of the year. I don't know about you, but it definitely wasn't my happiest day of the year. You can read the full report here. Let me know which day is your happiest day of the year. =)

I downloaded Firefox 3, but I still felt sad.

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:57:00 +0000

After hours of waiting, I finally downloaded Firefox 3 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US Nevertheless, I still felt very disappointed. Mozilla, sigh..... And this post is written with Firefox 3. Call it a love-hate relationship,...

Firefox 3 download page is down =(

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 17:27:00 +0000

Firefox 3 is SUPPOSED to be released at 1pm EDT on 17th June, 2008, that translates into 1am on 18th June, 2008 at my side. That means I had to stay up all night just to download it. Stay up I did, because 1) I love Firefox. 2) I pledged. 3) I want to be part of the world record. But when 1pm...

If the world's population were reduced to 100, what would it be like?

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:59:00 +0000

(Transcribed from The Miniature Earth video. Click here to watch the entire video.) If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this... 61 Asians, 12 Europeans, 8 North Americans, 5 South...

List of phobias - how many of these do you have? =)

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:54:00 +0000

Stumbleupon-ed this website just now. Some of the phobias listed are really really fun. I didn't even know people are capable of having these fears in the first place. Haha. But since there are actual words for these fears, there must be quite a number of people having them. =) I don't know why I...

God bless China

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Tue, 13 May 2008 08:41:00 +0000

I heard the men sing their songs. I saw the women dance around. Children clapped their hands. The elderly grinned all day long. I knew it was a special year for you, for the firecrackers made the sky so bright, even the first ray of sunlight had to hide away; and your sons and daughters cheered so...

2008 A Level Results will be released on......(my speculation)

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 08:43:00 +0000

Well, many of my friends have been asking me about the date of this year's release of A Level results, especially my fellow Chinese friends, since it (at least partially) determines their date of return to Singapore. And apparently, this year's situation is a bit tricky, given the extremely early...

I feel stupid today

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 07:50:00 +0000

Here is why: 1. I went out today. I took the correct bus. I alighted at the wrong stop. 2. So I took another bus. I alighted at the wrong stop. Again. 3. I reached my destination. I took the elevator. There were only two people in the elevator - me and another guy. We tried not to look at each...

Deferred by Yale and Falling in Love with Facebook

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:59:00 +0000

The past week has been one of the most gruesome days, not least because Yale is supposed to release its Early Action decisions today. I waited nervously during the day, and lost my sleep at night. And the fact that I am most of the times freaking bored at home, totally having nothing to do, did not...

My A Level Experience: Day 8 - The Most Silly Paper

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 09:01:00 +0000

16th Nov Chemistry Paper 1 (The Most Silly Paper) Ok. The paper itself was not THAT silly. It was those invigilators who are really silly. At first, two of them barred me from entering the exam hall because I was not wearing the school collar pin! It was totally absolutely completely...

16th Nov H1 Economics (The Most Unexpected Paper) Let me just say this is probably the hardest econs paper I have ever taken in my 2 years' study in JC. And after the paper, I have decided to make it the last econs paper in my entire life!!

13th Nov Chemistry Paper 2 (The Most Environment-Friendly Paper) I thought I was taking Geography exam. One question asked the candidate to calculate how much carbon dioxide is emitted when the the papers are sent by air to Cambridge for marking. One question (actually it's the same question)...

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:35:00 +0000

9th Nov H3 Mathematics (The Most Cheena Paper) It didn't feel like an exam. It felt more like...like...China's National Day Celebration. Out of all the 30 plus people taking this subject, 90% of them are Chinese Nationals (I'm one of them and proud to be so. =P). Well, after all, it's Mathematics!...

6th Nov Biology Paper 2 + Mathematics Paper 2 (The Blurrest Paper + The Most Racially Harmonious Paper) This is the longest exam day during my A Levels. 5 hours of exam!! Sian... Luckily, it was also one of the most interesting days. Well, before the biology paper, the invigilator asked us to put...

5th Nov Chemistry Paper 3 (The Scariest Paper) I was supposed to finish 4 questions within 2 hours. But at 8.30 (half an hour after the paper started), I found myself only half-way through question 1! Of course, I started to panic and could feel changes happening to my body like I was entering my...

2nd Nov Mathematics Paper 1 (The Easiest Paper) I thought it was an easy paper - so easy that I couldn't stop laughing when I finished the paper. It is really weird when you realize the most relaxing moment of your JC life is during the A Levels.

30th Oct General Paper (The Funniest Paper) First day. GP paper. I was pretty nervous, since A Levels is the first national examination I have ever taken. Just before I entered the hall for my comprehension paper, I saw a pink sheet of paper on top of everybody's desk. Upon seeing it, I panicked...

Singaporeans are scared sh*tless by gay people

noreply@blogger.com (Loveless) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 04:52:00 +0000

As you all should have known by now, Section 377A is going to be retained. Forget about all the rubbish talks on family values, Singapore's tradition, social stability blah blah blah, I think the main reason why Section 377A is still in the Penal Code is because Singaporeans are scared. PM Lee is...

I found this really amusing letter online. It's an open letter written by some gay guy(s) in Singapore, asking PM Lee for the abolition of Section 377A, and the address of the website is, unsurprising, www.repeal377a.com. If you are interested, you can go and sign the letter. The deadline is...
