SMRJ? Barbie fishing line?

OMG Nathan, we should be so ashamed.

ELKIN, N.C. – David Hayes’ granddaughter just asked him to hold her Barbie rod and reel while she went to the bathroom. He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.

Alyssa’s father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas and she had caught a few bluegill before her grandfather hauled in the catfish.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported the catch Aug. 5 in eastern Wilkes County has been certified as a record by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

Hayes and his granddaughter have been fishing in the pond behind his house since she was big enough to hold a pole.

Hayes said his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod.

Examsss

Another 1 1/2 day more to Monday! Arghhh. I really hate it when the exams are near. Though this could only mean the holidays are getting closer. I’m catching up on the books now, mugging and studying and all. Time is really crucial! I’m going to stop going out for now, travel time is better spent mugging on the books.

I’m really scared. I haven’t been mugging so hard since my ‘O’ levels, i didn’t even bought a single textbook in Year 1. Yes, its true. And its a miracle i passed much of the modules i took back then. Whereas the others which i didn’t? Sighs. Its too late to go back in time now, back then when everybody was helpful, i didn’t cherish. Now everyone is getting cold and aloof and i’m beginning to wake up on my senses.

Usain Bolt. Books, books, more books.

Usain Bolt got 1st and broke the record again! Too bad Channel 5 wasn’t broadcasting the 200m finals yesterday, or else i would had caught it LIVE. Nevertheless, it was all over the papers today! Don’t tell me you missed it. He was way aheadddd, really awesome.

Okay okay, I didn’t mean to make myself look so stupid to you peeps just now. I got stuck on Chapter 2 of Java revision, and i found out i missed out the stupid space in the middle of 6.0 and 6. And i even dragged a couple of guys down when i asked them why the output was different. And everyone was like “wtf?!” when i told them i saw wrongly.

Oops.

public class StupidSpace {
public static void main(String args[]){
double a = 6.7;
int b = (int) a;
a = b;
System.out.println(a + ” ” + b);
}
}

Revision today, tomorrow and the next couple of days till the exams end on next Thursday. And a whole lot of events planned nicely during the holidays already. LTC camp, class 1B/24 chalet, dinner with the clique peeps whom i haven seen for a couple of months, giovanni outings and yes, SP STAR meetings.

I need moneyyy, and a whole lot of concentration to get through the Exams

Sighs. So much for using a damp linen cloth to wipe my psp, my homestrip went to the high heavens again. The people at the repair shop said they could waived the fees to about $20, down from the $30 it costed the last time. I’ve been saving up to change the black housing as well. But that would had set me back by at least $105 if i went to fix it all up at one go. And the Creative EP-630 i bought 2 weeks ago was really disappointing. Very lousy bass, albeit abit more durable than Logitech’s Playgear Stealth.

Blahhh, i really need to work and i really need concentration for next week’s exams. Its been really stressful though there’s only 4 papers for this semester, because out of the 4, none are non-programming modules.

Which means all are programming modules, moron.

I don’t really fluster when the exams are near, but this time around its really scary, cause i know it will backfire if i don’t perform well. And there’s nobody to save my ass from getting burnt this time around.

Time to head back to the books now.

Handball!

Watched Olympics handball awhile ago at the Olympics Highlights on Channel 5, Brazil versus Spain. Okay, i didn’t know such a sport existed before i watched the highlights. But it definitely looks fun, something like a cross between Basketball and Soccer, really amusing! The goal post is like one out of a street soccer court, whereas the players play the game as though in a basketball match.

And nathan left awhile ago, after coming over to my house at 2. Mugged alittle, played alot. Going to sleep later and mug again tonight to compensate for just now. Sighs, exams are just coming in a week, i know some of you peeps are having yours this week.

JIAYOU (:

We got a Silver!

China 3 : Singapore 0

Its like deja vu all over again, but who would had thought that Singapore would make it this far. But then again Singapore got thrashed. It was like they let us through the first matches of the first two sets and finally got sick and completely obliterated us on the third one. And its such a “coincidence” that Singapore coach Liu Guodong happens to be China’s coach Liu Guoliang’s older brother(It was on the Chinese papers today). i must say our Government really have it ways of getting to the top.

Its just such a bitter irony that we lost. But we got Silver alrightey, first medal in 48 years, and first since independence (: HURRAY!

Phelps’s 8th, Table Tennis women’s finals tonight.

Table Tennis Bronze is showing LIVE on Channel 5 now, Japan versus South Korea. I really hope Korea win this match, because Japan’s Sayaka Hirano face looks sibei sibeiii xia lan. Really, go take a look, before the match ends. She got that evil smirk and stare that i think even evil queens in Disney finds hard to emulate. She would make a better actress than a table tennis player.

What a pity.

Michael Phelps won his 8th Gold of 8 today, and i fucking !@#$%^&*() missed it! I’m going to watch the replay. Koon How gave me a summary of the 4 x 100m just now.

1. Backstroke -USA (1st), AUS (2nd), RUS (3rd)
2. Breaststroke – JAP (1st), USA (2nd), AUS (3rd)
3. Butterfly Stroke – USA (1st) JAP (2nd), AUS (3rd)
4. Freestyle – USA (1st), AUS (2nd), JAP (3rd)

Phelps apparently miraculously caught up to the Jap on the 3rd category according to KH, he really deserve all the attention man.

Table Tennis finals in 4hrs time!
