hardk0rr3z studyiinkz!

So right now I am at the State Library studying very diligently *cough* for my Chemistry exam in about a fortnights time. It’s raining quite heavily outside and I like it because it means I can concentrate more when I study (yeh, there is a correlation between hardcore rain outside and hardcore studying at the state library).

rainy weather huhuhuhu

rainy weather huhuhuhu

Anyway, I’ve booked a small room to study and concentrate in and I think I just saw Geoff and friend walk past to see if the room next door to me is available (but it isn’t because room 4C has like brochure holders and plastic and shizz everywhere D:). Dunno if it was them though, but when I mustered courage (because I’m a shyface loser) to go and ask the dude if it was Geoff or not, he and his friend were halfway down the corridor walking away. I wasn’t going to run in a library. So, ahmm Geoff, if that was you: leave a comment, if it wasn’t still leave a comment. As comments are (Y).

Now for a picture of the Dalai Llama. xD

Wise Dalai Llama

Oh, and I’m very proud of how far ChristopherKong.com has come in the past few days. I think the true sign of your blog taking off from the ground (or server space) is when you receive your first spam comments generated by a bot. I have received 2 in the past  24 hours and they have both equally made my weekend enjoyable:

Yay

Yay

 

Even more yay!

Even more yay!

Overall Yay! n_n

Jay Chou-desu

Fridays always feel really uneventful for me. I always look forward to them during the weekday, but when they come if feels like so lazy and unproductive. I’ve concluded that it’s probably because I have a list of things I want to do during the weekend (like study, your mom, etc etc) but never get around to it. This week I will!

School was pretty uneventful today got marks back for some tests, did revision, didn’t learn anything new really. THOUGH I am proud of myself for beating my new word record for most words written in during a double lesson. I managed to achieve 2000-ish words or about 6 pages. I thought my writing speed would have been severly impacted because I use a laptop now for school and all, BUT MY HANDS NEVER LET ME DOWN. n__n

Today wasn’t that bad though as I didn’t have to see the slut today and it makes me happy when I don’t have to see her because seeing her makes me go all sadfaced because she is a slut. D: Here’s hoping there are more of these days.

Anyway, I was pretty excited yesterday when I found about the Jay Chou concert. In fact, I was even more excited when I found out that it was on my birthday. Like, it MUST be a sign or something that I’m mean’t to go see his concert.

posterUnfortunately, I don’t have enough money to go see the concert and it is also in Sydney. Therefore, I am now establishing a charity fund to enable sick (as in suss) children to go see Jay Chou. All donations are tax deductable and go to worthy causes and children. If you would like donation details, contact me on MSN and I can supply the BSB and account number so you can make your donations.

I wonder if I write to Jay Chou telling him how it is my birthday on the same day as his Australian concert, and I am Australian then he will find it in his heart to help my with tickets and plane accomodation to see his first inaugurasian concert. n_n

Anyway, I’m going to go to the State Library tomorrow all day to study (and maybe play MT for lunch. LOL). Does anyone feel like going to the state library tomorrow? D:

Maths Test and Picture Spam ^^

With the recent Global Financial Crisis, I feel that it is my moral responsibility to provide value for my growing number of readers. So, I have made a value packaged post which is sort of like a McValue meal, but cheaper. YES, I’VE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF PRICE INCREASES MCDONALDS (i.e. Med. Quarter Pounder Meals used to be $5.95, now they’re $6.75 :@:@:@)

So this afternoon, I caught the bus to Sunnybank Hills Shopping Center and got off at 4:40PM thinking mom was going to pick me up there. Anyway, 5pm came and she still did not come, I felt alone and abandoned and wondered if she had given me up or something. Eventually, I mustered up the courage to call her. Turns out she meant Indooroopilly and at the same time was waiting there. ORZ.

We had a math test at MacGregor which I found to be immensly fun (not really lol). I’ve been prepping up for it for a few weeks now by doing all the exercises in the text book and some extension questions so naturally I went into the exam with high hopes. All was going well and I was breezing through it in the first 30 minutes. Then I got stuck on one question so I skipped it and became stuck on two more near the end of the paper. Not what I had in mind and now I am insecure about my whole paper. D:

There tends to be a tendency between cramming maths at the school library in the morning before the maths exam at my school. Seriously, I don’t get why people do this. If your cramming information in 30 minutes before the exam when you’ve had a whole term then you’re obviously not going to get it in a flash, give it up already. And ZOMG there were these grade 9′s I over heard trying to figure out how indicies work. It was this question on the revision paper: 2 * r * r * s * s * 2 where you had to write it in index form. So there girls naturally thought that this meant: 4 * 2r * 2s on the justification that if there were two s’ then there would be 2 r’s as well and that this HAD to be the answer. WOMEN, you’re the reason we are becomming a dumber nation as a whole.  Oh, and on the fact of the junior grades, they tend to winge so much about how hard maths exams are and how they can’t cope. I don’t get how they can do this when it is grade 9 math’s. If you seriously can’t get this stuff then you’re screwed and might as well do the prevoc alternative for 9th grade. I can’t wait to see how you guys cope in year 12. ==”

Oh, and I was watching Today Tonight (also known as killing brain cells xD) a few hours ago and saw this:

ULTIMATE FAIL LOLZ. I want to send this into Failblog or something. =\

I said to Rachel that I would do a reply to her blog where she talks about inequality between the sexes of men and women. HOWEVER, I have just had a maths test and feel like poo. =\. Nevertheless, I will do one for the next debatable topic she posts (you know, because as a former debater here public speaking skills should be LEET). Though, she has made me reconsider the usage of the name “slut” on my blog to maybe “extremely unplesant person who looks similar to a promiscuous person”. Anyway, I highly suggest you go and read her blog (click here or menu on right) for some interesting musings and spectacular pictures. No, seriously, her shots are really impressive (oh and congrats on the Moran Art Prize as well n__n)

I ran into Sandra today in the city where I met some of her friends Geoff, Eric and Akio (J-wai was also there xD). It’s nice to meet new people because it widens my friends network (because I apparently have none :( ) and now that means I can comment on people’s blogs (such as Geoff’s) without sounding like a stalker and all. n__n

Special mention to Anjo Malaga, Jairom Bustos and Melvin Nagi. Why? Because they thought I was blogging in class and asked to especially be mentioned.

This blog post is shit. It’s so over the place and is now giving me a headache. I don’t know why I’m going to publish it.

Bye bye now.

Using Protection

You have to be careful these days, you know, not to catch an STI. But the point of this post is not about safe sex – THOUGH IT IS AN EQUALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC. XD

I’m glad to see a fair majority of the school is talking about ChristopherKong.com, entries on my blog and the overall insight into my life. No really, it makes me happy that you guys are logging on to my site and then discussing it the next day with your friends. Plus, it means that I can put nuffnang ad’s on my website and ask you all to click so I can get monies. :D

But, for now I have to password protect parts of my blogs and rants because:

  1. Everyone is asking who the slut is. No seriously, it seemed to be  the topic today at MacGregor to extract hints and then guess who it was. No one guessed right though. =\
  2. I’m was surprised to find out how many of you didn’t know that I didn’t get along with the slut.
  3. Some have though me calling her a slut is harsh, although she calls me a douchebag whenever I walk past her.
  4. Kelly says that if I rant about girls on blogs that means that girls can get their groupies together and cat fight me. Apparently, it’s easy to get girls to form together to stick up for one girl when that one girl asks for it – though I beg to differ in this case. She says she speaks from experience (she was probably the one who started the fighting though. LOL) and Kelly scares me, so I’ll believe her for now.

I don’t mind people reading it, I just mind the particular people reading it. If you guys want any of the passwords for my blogs I’ll happily give them away if you ask me. Chances are, if you have my mobile number, then I’ll probably feel comfortable with you reading my entries (excl. if you’re the slut though – Sorry)

Moral of the story: Use protection if you don’t want pleasant-cum-nasty surprises popping up (that and Kelly’s claim of how easy it is to start a cat fight ;__;).

Lol, there’s the word “cum” in here.

OH, and I’ve changed Sandra’s link on the blog roll from “sand-dollar sandra” to “sandBRA”. However, I think I might change it again if it disappoints her – perhaps something a name with “eyebrow” in it.

PEE ESS: I know the word “cum” can’t be used in that sentence context as pleasant and nasty are adjectives, not nouns. ==”

Get creative, can do, ROCK ON!

Credit’s go to Musu for showing me this video.


Thank you for this video. This song has sort of replaced the collection of Fei Yu Chin and Teresa Teng songs we have running on loop in the car that have been stuck in my brain. If I was not linked then I would have spent much of Friday night updating my numeracy skillz in exponential calculus, logarithmic calculus and anything calculus related. In fact, I feel totally prepared for my maths exam this Wednesday, even though I still have 4 chapters left to do. n_n Don’t worry, I’ll return the favor somewhere around November 4th, kaye?

Anyway, Musu is a pretty rad guy so I highly suggest you go to his blog for some productive reading.

Today was spent pretty much studying at the State Library (as was yesterday) being the unsocial hermit of a nerd that I am. I’d rather go with friends, book my own room, but then study with them because when lunch comes I’m really vein about how I appear on the weekend eating lunch by myself. So, on Saturday, it actually looked like I had some friends. I also like the air conditioning at the state library because it reminds me of the air condition that we have at home, which is now broken. Screw you, Mitsubishi.

Yesterday, there was some real excitement however – Queensland State Elections. My television schedule last night was pretty much torn up between ABC’s election coverage and Channel 7′s Vicar of Dibley – both of which are equally good. It was good to see Anna Bligh win to become the first elected female premier of Queensland, but I guess it was sad to see the other guy lose (and incumbent’s lose their seats). I don’t know why, but I feel a sense of attachment to politicians who have lost their jobs in a election. Sure, most of them are probably tools, but they are also humans like you and me and have BMW’s/Mercedes/etc… to fuel up. Nevertheless, it was good to see a female become the elected premier. I mean, it’s good in general to see women get out of the laundry and kitchen and doing some real work.*

To add to the lack of cohesion and and sequence of the blog (and probably the reason why my English marks are low A’s now), Sandra reckons I look like Simon Freedman from Neighbours (I think she’s blind, but hey everyone has different opinions right?). Ima gonna do moar research into this dude. Stay tuned, the next blog will be the conclusions of my thorough research.

* I’m kidding… really lolz. That was a joke (if you didn’t realize it), no flaming pl0x. ChristopherKong.com is an Equal Opportunity Blog for Women. And I can’t cook, so if my mom reads this I’m going to starve. Starvation = Death.

Spot the Fallacy

I had my Philosophy and Reason test today. To be honest, I found the test extremely fun and enjoyable. As enjoyable as slamming your fingers in the car door (something which has happened to me before). Nevertheless, today’s test was about fallacies and we had to identify the fallacy and justify why it was one. Here’s one that was from The Simpson’s used in our test:

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That’s spacious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Why thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn’t work. It’s just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don’t see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: I want to buy that rock, how much is it?

Naturally, I thought that this would be the fallacy of ignorance. This was because Lisa’s case could not be proved wrong therefore Homer believed it. I quickly changed my mind to the cum hoc fallacy. I justified it because of the fact that the presence of bear patrol does not necessarily mean that there will be no bears and it couldn’t be said that the presence of the bear patrol caused it.

Yehh…. The whole test was pretty much like this for every question. My problem is that I doubt myself too much when I write an answer to a question so it means I waste a lot of time on the fence trying to see which side I should take. Stuff like this makes me miss the 11th grade a lot more now because I did not have to worry about assignments nor tests as much (I used to say “Oh, it’s only grade 11 and it’s just a prep course for grade 12″) but now the pressure is on. D:

—– THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS ARE RANTS BECAUSE I’M ALL BITTER INSIDE LOL —–

First part is password protected. n__n

Firstly, majority of the class did badly on part 1 of their Philosophy tests and the teacher was considering letting us look at it today so we could make improvements to it. He changed his mind at the last minute because there was this girl who complained about how it was immoral and unfair for us to see our exam papers again. Seriously, just because you cannot make your paper better because you’re stupid or something does not mean you have to drag down everyone else as well. There are some students who felt pressured against time and did not manage to finish or think through what they wanted to write on the papers. Many students were happy and relieved that we would be able to make some small changes to our paper.

Secondly, there’s this guy at our school who keeps saying “I get to do my eulogy again”, “Time to go practice my eulogy”, “I need to edit my eulogy” and somethings to that effect. The story here is that he always manages to achieve high A5/4 (5 is the highest and 1 is the lowest at our school for the band you’re on: A, B, C, D and E) but when he presented his eulogy he got an A3. Now he’s getting the chance to redo his eulogy to achieve one grade point higher. I mean, it’s all good that he is getting that opportunity without asking for it; however, does he really need it? I mean, he’s getting the A already, what is one numeral higher going to do? Furthermore, by saying that you’re getting to do your eulogy again, you’re not really making many of us who are getting low A’s or high B’s any better. You should be happy with your mark and not sad that the one you received was undesired – I mean, seriously, we can swap marks anyday if you want. Essentially, what you’re doing is “selective updating” where at the teachers discretion you’re allowed to improve a mark when the teacher cannot distinguish whether to award a borderline student the higher or lower mark, but you do not satisfy the requirements for a selective update. Honestly, on what grounds do you have to redo your English assessment? Don’t say because the teacher offered, because that’s not a plausible reason – seriously, like I said, it’s good you get to improve your mark but keep it to yourself and don’t freaking go broadcasting it around the school. FFS ==”

—– END RANT —–

I’m going to start finding fallacies in all conversations now, so if I say your cum hoc’ing, committing a faulty analogy, hasty generalization, slothful induction, etc… I don’t mean to annoy. It’s just constructive criticism.

I have a headache right nowz, which I hope will go away because I’m going to the state library tomorrow to study and was really looking forward to it. LOL

Inaugural Posting on the Blog n__n

No, it’s nothing like Obama’s Inaugural Speech or something – I’m just not that famous.

 

Yeh, this defines me pretty well at the moment. n__n

The main reason I’m making a blog is because I procrastinate a lot, am bored, and curious to try it. Anyway, I’m pretty lax on what to write on this blog so I thought I might do one of those virginity/first blog/inaugural/sheep conformist blog posts. Only because every blog these days has one of course. Plus, everyone is getting into this blog thing and because I always wanted to be a cool kid I thought I might do one as well.

I was talking to Kelly on the bus on Wednesday (where she oh so kindly gave me a sore throat and cough now ==”) and she suggested I do some sort of gossip blog inspired by my interest in shows like Gossip Girl and the such. The girl would be replaced with Chris of course to avoid gender confusion. “Welcome to the scandalous lives of Sunnybank’s elite” and in the opening scene you’d have an asian man talking loudly on his phone, people fumbling for change at the bus stop, nerds carrying physics, maths, chemistry and biology textbooks and Calvin playing his rubix cube. Oh, I forgot the gazbillion asians trying to park their BMW/Benz/Toyota unsuccessfully at Market Square and cutting learner drivers off :@:@:@.

There’s probably going to be alot of bitching/ranting/complaining or a combined mixture (what value :D )about things in my life such as your mom’s performance issues, late buses, the slut (especially n__n), and all that shiz. Though, I’m in year 12 this year so this will probably be my first and last blog post EVVAAAHHHHHHH

ACTUALLY, come to think of it.. these blogs will be the launchpad to my vlogging career when it lifts of the ground – which will be soon because I owe Katie 7 videos or something (I said I’d do one video for every 150 subscribers she reached). SORRY KT, BE PATIENT THEY’RE COMING. LOL.

My URL is pretty boring though, it’s nothing like painting a penguin, something you can live with, a fire or disgraceful asian. Instead it’s just http://www.christopherkong.com – my full name minus the asian name (hint stalkers and pedophiles). The boring nature of my blog URL is also probably a hint about the boring nature of my to be posts. CLICK AWAY TO SAVE YOURSELVES XD. If you can think of a better URL tell me and  you’ll be rewarded with stuffz.

And thank you to the guys (sandra, kt, musu, random person, kelly and especially you Mr. WordPress <3<3<3) who commented on my inaugural-but-not-really blog post. It’s nice to know that you have supportive friends who offer words of encouragement and praise unlike the past 16 years of neglective parenting (I kid, my parents are rad). Hopefully this means that more people will come visit this excuse for a blog.

xoxo gossip chris.

It’s that Gossip Girl – “Scandalous lives of Manhattan’s Elite” Gossip Chris – “Scandalous lives of Sunnybank’s Elite” theme I’m trying to get thru here n__n
