h1n1

Ok before my insightful post(lol k not really, just actual blogging that isn't about wow), some screen caps from WoW



couldn't screenshot this properly, it's actually fireworks! haha when i turned 80 the gamemaster actually sent this package to my mail (yes there's mail in WoW) and inside got fireworks



a bunch of level 80s lining up to take picture. haha

we were on our way to the enemy cities to complete some achievement.



killing the Alliance leader

whee.


anyway, i'm still at home, on MC till tomorrow, but only going back on thurs cos those ppl in camp have been there since last monday and they're getting 2day off.

Yes, my ownage MC was 6 days! cos i was sent to TTSH to check for h1n1 and since i had the symptoms i think the doctor just spam the MC. but i didn't have h1n1 la.

anyway it's quite ridiculous there are like hundred new cases everyday.. sooner or later this is gonna be a normal flu strain and scientists are gonna tell us 'hey! we found a way to prevent it from mutating into a more deadly strain of bird flu ! or sars! or anything deadly!' which is why we're so scared of it in the first place right. Cos it's so contagious and it may mutate.


Even news says so.. today's 'headline' news about h1n1 (remember when h1n1 used to dominate the front page? now it's relegated to size 12 in the small column on the left of ST front page) is "H1N1 country listing stopped"

which is basically saying yknow last time they say avoid mexico... blabla. all those alot of h1n1 one. now.. they abolish the list! why? cos "it becomes less useful, as the whole world, including Singapore, sees more cases".
So in other words.. i think may come to the point let's say country A has 1234 cases. then it's on the list. then one day... singapore actually has more cases than them! so omg howhow. migrate there.


Another change in attitude thing: (from ST)
"For example. the definition of who is regarded as a "close contact" of an H1N1 patient has changed considerably. When it first appeared, a close contact was anyone who had been near the infected person. Now, it is defined as anyone who has been within 2m of an infected person for an hour or more without any protection, such as a mask. Soon, it will be anyone who is within 5m of someone who has touched the railing that the person who has waved hi to the H1N1 patient grabbed on the MRT"

Haha ok i added the last sentence in. but it's true isn't it?


Anyway for Singapore as of today have 629 cases, and last night got 30 new ones (Source : ST) (last night? so yday morning leh) But previous day was 100+ ? Not v sure. but let's say everyday has 100 new cases. It will probably get worst (says everybody), so let's say every week the average increases by 100.
Week 1: 100 x7
Week 2: 200x7
Week 3: 300x7
.
.
etc.

Singapore's population is 4.6 million (i think) .. so how long will it take for the whole of Singapore to be infected ?

LOLOL I JUST CREATED AN A LEVEL MATH QUESTION. if this comes out for A levels must pay me k. copyright.

ok la see i play WoW still got time to read newspapers, blog, so good right. so not addicted. lalalala.

OK NO IT'S COS WOW GOT SERVER MAINTENANCE NOW AHHH LET ME BACKKK.
/slashwrist

k i'm kidding i'm fine really. it's good to take a break also. kinda tiring to play the whole day yknow! time for dinner now and after dinner.. probably go play guitar or read more newspapers. chowz!


p.s.

Answer: 114 weeks! it will take 2 years for us all to get infected! got enough time to set up a house in some safe location (like antartica) and set up a business there! (like igloo construction)

1 x 100 x 7
2 x 100 x 7
3 x 100 x7

Week 3 = (1+2+3) x700
Week x = (1+2+3+ ... +x) x700

So to get the answer we need to take 4.6mil divided by 700 and find what is x in (1+2+3+...+x)

4600000/700 = 6571 (rounded down)

x = 114!

(1+2+3+... +114 = 6555)

ok i'm sure there's some formula to find it faster but i basically manually added 1+ 2 + 3 until 114. lolol. if you find out the formula do let me know. k chowz.

p.p.s OMG ok after winsome tagged i suddenly remembered the formula for this. This is just an arithmetic progression! (AP) . haha ok damn easy now. ok yes this is damn easy for an A level student you better know how to do if you'r etaking As.

EIGHTY AND ONWARDS

moments before THE moment.


flying to turn in the last quest..

LEVEL 80!!! YAYYYY



ok, time to gear up and raid =)

rawr.

weiqin look / PHOTOS.

I actually wrote this as a comment on her blog but it got too long so decided to blog it. anyway this blog post has alot of photos after this part so .. can skip it if you're not angweiqin.

This is regarding her latest blog post. read the last part below the last picture of that post.

~~
no leh, 'literally' and 'virtually' have very different meanings.

Like you can say "I went to the farm and killed virtually all the chickens!"
Meaning you killed ALMOST all the chickens, maybe missed 1-2.

But if you try to replace it with 'literally', you get: "I went to the farm and literally killed all the chickens!"
which means i REALLY DID kill the chickens and 'killing the chickens' isn't some form of suggestive phrase that means something else like 'kick the bucket', etc.

They do NOT have any similar meaning whatsoever and cannot be used interchangeably.
~~

anyway, on to the photos



rofl. this was at CGH when i went for physio or something. Everyone who enters has to wear a face mask. just snapped a random pic for fun.


on the bus to R&R. I was actually feeling like total shit but i forced a smile so that i can have at least ONE photo for taiwan.

and the next photo is classic Engrish

.

rofl!!
if you cant see it, the heading is 'snake' and the items are 'french fries' , 'cream of corn'... go figure what they meant as the heading.

this was some burger place in Leofoo Village , some theme park we went to which i already went before (read previous blog post i mentioned all this already).
it was too funny i had to snap a pic




walter.

enoch.

took alot more pics with ppl actually, but with their camera and they never send to me. bleahz . probably on facebook by now though.


ok the next few are just some self indulgent photos.. cos i think my hair is the perfect length now! super nice when styled!! nice to style!!
AND I HAVE TO CUT IT TMR OMGWTFGGPWNZ.

im feeling v happy about my hair.





different angles


ANYWAY.
ok enough of my awesome hair , went to Breek's Cafe @ Marine Square just now for chris' bday dinner treat.

i uploaded them in 'large' size on purpose =)
DROOL.


ok the place has a fairly nice ambience..
just that right next to the entrance there's a hugeass 'Seoul Gardens' sign which ive no idea why. yknow the logo? yea it's there. and it's big. but there's no seoul gardens next to it.



this is the menu btw.

lol. the menu is like giant. and the pictures are huge. i was telling chris "If the food they serve is this big i'll come back every week."


anyway, we ordered some set meal which comes with a soup and a drink. it was some promotion they had. total price was about $43 after GST/Service tax.


Appetizer - Soup of the day - chicken. Rather flavorful with some shredded chicken inside.
What i liked about this was that it was served at the -perfect- temperature. Whether by luck or what.. it struck me right away. It's like not too hot that you have to blow on it to drink it, but not cool or lukewarm such that it's not nice to drink. It's just perfectly hot. =D



Chris' main dish of Chicken Patties. basically some thick chicken patties (yknow, the stuff in between your hamburgers) with melted cheddar and stuff on top, served with 2 big cubes of potato.

chris insists that the potato was special, so i tried it, and it's really quite nice! The best way i can describe it is it's texture is in between mashed potato and a normal potato. And the taste is quite concentrated and nice.



My main dish of Cajun Chicken.
This is the most different Cajun chicken ive tasted in my life. the sauce isn't Cajun sauce, it's some spicy chilli sauce. It isn't NOT NICE, just.. not as nice as the cajun chicken at say, Astons. Of course the best would be Botak Jones =)
Fries were only average, some were not cooked properly and not proper texture.

The way they serve it was quite nice though. Brought in the sizzling hot pan and the waitress asks 'would you like me to pour the sauce for you?' and i said yes pls then she empties the bowl of sauce onto the chicken and PSZSSSZSZZT it sizzles.
LOOKS pretty impressive and nice la. but the taste.. not quite there. ha.
abit like the Swenson's banana thing that becky likes where they make it sizzle in front of you. fo




Mango Puree!

This is officially my favourite drink ever. (remind me if i forget. lolol. hey it's not that easy to remember k, since i can't drink it often. i can't like, order at the coffeeshop "Eh uncle! one milo beng, one teh-O, and one mango puree! )

The puree is thick in texture and flavour, not being too sweet but sweet enough to make me go 'AHHH' with the first few sips i take. haha.
With a touch of cherry and peach slice on the top.
nicenice!!

Btw this is called a 'mocktail'. apparently it's because it mocks a cocktail since it looks like one but has no alcohol in it. seriously! it's what they called it on the menu and in the menu it explains it this way.



yum.


and this last bit is just me and chris camwhoring.
had to persuade her quite abit but no choice must take pics! cos i'm cutting my lovely awesome hair.
it's really damn nice can. i dont say this often. but. yea.

and chris i swear i already filtered out the unglam shots of you like those u look fat/nostrils big whatever shit k! these are the cream of the crop :p hahaha.








i dunno why i look like i'm crying.





trying to take a photo of her heels.. but failed! so unglam got her legs behind then one foot got shoe one no shoe. ahah. just looks funny.


ah, pass.


think she doesnt wanna camwhore anymore.


or not?




all these noob 'from-the-top' angle shots are taken by her. all cut off until like noob.




see, can't see my hair.








ok thanks that's all i have BYEEEE.

wow this was a long post.
