i think i embody the true definition of a mugger. instead of studying
consistently over a period of time, i usually cram everything in within a few days, and then forget everything immediately after the exam. no wonder i can never internalise anything, and this process always repeats itself, time and again.

eh. this is vaguely amusing but highly disturbing as well. hrrm. the power and joys of statcounter. besides having previous search requests such as "bernice rjc daisy play" or "recipe 3 bena salad" i guess this takes the cake.. so far.
anyway, am somewhat annoyed by
campusmoblog's intrusion into and invasion of my phone, with its chat function and sms thing, because it requires your handphone number for registration. hence everytime messages are sent out (which i don't really care about) they pop up on my phone. the other day, i got 7 messages in a row for some stupid photoshoot for singtel's school blogging competition advertisement by someone with the user handle
songbird. after awhile though, it's not irritating but just stupidly funny. read this:
135813 JAMIEYEO: wow! you guys have clocked in blog entries every single day this month! Impressive! :)for the uninitiated, campusmoblog is this silly competition that's been set up to encourage blogging amongst students of singapore. apparently, blogging's a trend now (does that mean i'm a trendsetter since i started blogging since sec3?), so singtel and MOE are trying to capitalise on this "cool" fad to promote their own agenda insidiously by promoting it with lots of cash and prizes.
no offence to her (i always listened to her
say it with music show on perfect10 before my room got too messy to do any work in and i got too lazy to turn on the radio anymore) but to me, there's something very wrong about the phrased "clocked in". it sounds very much like CIP hours. everything we do nowadays is just for the sake of moremoremore and getting an unblemished record. it's the age-old question of quantity vs quality. i have no qualms about people embracing that kind of mentality for academic achievements, because excellence is what we should strive for anyway. but for things like blogging, this makes it sound like a mechanical obligation that must be filled up. ok, so if no one blogged for one day, does it make it any less impressive than a blog filled with insipid entries on the hour, every hour?
i'm not so sure myself.
