Turtle @ Just-ribbit http://turtle.just-ribbit.com i am an idiot who likes to think otherwise. Fri, 24 Oct 2008 04:50:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 en Post number…Onety one. http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/10/21/post-numberonety-one/ http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/10/21/post-numberonety-one/#comments Tue, 21 Oct 2008 03:14:01 +0000 http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/?p=58 I know, I haven’t done anything the past two months. Been busy. And when I wasn’t busy, I was sleeping. I know, I’ve played the busy card every time I ceased to post weekly, but I really, really am busy this time. I’m in the midst of exams, and I really want to do well because if I do well, I’ll be getting a violin. And I love violins.

I actually considered closing this blog, but decided to wait and see how it goes.

Sometimes I’d really like to punch my maid in the face. Okay, I don’t mean that, but you know, I say it because I doubt anyone’d actually ask me to do it. Words coming from the mouth of a spoilt brat, you may think.

Reasons:
1. She’s always glaring at me so fiercely, she can conjoin far-spaced eyebrows.
2. She doesn’t handle things the way a normal maid does. Let’s say I’m doing my homework at a table. I spy rubbish on the table. She’d have the audacity to sweep the rubbish…off the table, WITH A BROOM.
3. She eavesdrops on my conversations. I don’t like talking on the phone with some woman standing three feet away with creased eyebrows. You know, the kind you pull when you’re intently listening to someone revealing important, a-matter-of-life-and-death colossal secrets. You wouldn’t like it, either.

Okay, I’m not going to do this. I have increasingly gotten more ill-mannered over the week. Coincidentally, it coincides with my exam week(I know I said that earlier). Especially when working on my algebra, and sometimes, equations completely unrelated to algebra. Picture this…

I press the ‘on’ button on calculator.
6/20 + 5/78
=
Syntax Error
“WHAT THE!?!? #@$*(@%)&!)$&!)$!)$”
*starts beating fist on calculator*

I’ve been getting more and more adjusted to my calculator. I actually used it for the equation 7 - 0. Unbelievable. Yes, my intellect is something to be proud of.

Things that have made me angry this week include dropping an apple and biting my tongue. I’m like a rabied dog. *sigh* I have to go study now. I’ll reply all beyond-overdue comments at the end of the day.

Anyeong hasaeyo. http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/08/08/anyeong-hasaeyo/ http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/08/08/anyeong-hasaeyo/#comments Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:00:40 +0000 http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/?p=51 I’m now using a Wordpress theme. I’m too lazy to make my own. :) I really like it, though.

I’m currently learning Korean. I love the writing system, what with the little circles and symbols…I mean, in how many languages can you actually draw circles? (I appear to be very misinformed. Don’t bother telling me the answer)

I don’t think I’ve replied any of the comments on the previous, previous post, and I still get comments. You guys must love me. (Someone’s being self-centered again)

The b-ball games were horrible. For me, anyway. I hardly ever attempt shooting, and for good reason. I felt so embarassed when I attempted a shot during practice, and I bet the only thing that occupied peoples’ minds was, “HAHAHAHAHA! AIIIIIRRRBALLLLLLL!”. Yessiree. Why do I bother waking up in the morning?

I have exactly nine days to go before an important examination, and I’ve only studied, oh, I don’t know, a chapter here, a chapter there… When teachers say, “Don’t cry when you get your testpapers back”, they think they were exaggerating. Well, they’re not. I go home and wail over my testpapers while eating large packets of potato chips(while sucking my fingers every now and then) and drinking milk. A rather unusual sight, but it happens.

Err…I’ll be back in a few hours.

Yellow. http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/07/11/yellow/ http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/07/11/yellow/#comments Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:24:07 +0000 http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/?p=46 [edit] Yes, I’ve been really inactive. I’d like to apologize to my affies. :( School, y’know? Extra classes almost everyday. I’ll work a bit more on my site, and return the comments. [/edit]

I’m on a girls’ basketball team in school. That sucks. And I have two games this week. The team captain kept pressing me to join. :( She had mastered pulling the puppy face at will. I’ll probably get booed. I always play defense, but I can’t throw the ball very far. Conclusion: height isn’t everything in basketball.

I’m scared, because lots of people show up to watch the matches. T.T Compared to the big cheeses who can actually shoot hoops, I’m just a cold booger.

Brain exercise. http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/06/29/brain-exercise/ http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/06/29/brain-exercise/#comments Sun, 29 Jun 2008 09:06:50 +0000 http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/?p=45 I came across this brain exercise thingo online. :D Try it out. Don’t peep at the answers until after you’ve thought of it.

Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it is important that we keep mentally alert. The saying “If you don’t use it, you will lose it” also applies to the brain.

Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. So take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still a MENSA candidate. OK, relax, clear your mind and . . . begin.

1. What do you put in a toaster?

-

The answer is bread. If you said, “toast,” then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, “bread,” go to question 2.

2. Say “silk” five times. Now spell “silk.” What do cows drink?

-

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said, “milk,” please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously overstressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as “Children’s World.” If you said, “water” then proceed to question three.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from?

-

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said “green bricks,” what the heck are you still doing here reading these questions? If you said “glass,” then go on to question four.

4. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately, the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of “no man’s land” between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in “no man’s land”?

-

Answer: You do not, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, “Don’t bury the survivors” then proceed to the next question.

5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour?

-


Answer: One degree. If you said “360 degrees” or anything other than “one degree,” you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question.

6. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?

-

Answer: Oh, for goodness sake! It was YOU, read the first line!!!

I only got four correct. Ah.

I’m high. http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/06/16/im-high/ http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/2008/06/16/im-high/#comments Mon, 16 Jun 2008 06:45:13 +0000 http://turtle.just-ribbit.com/?p=41 I’ve been really high lately. It’s either my fatigue getting to my head, or all the Toblerone chocolate bars I’ve been stuffing myself with. Things that I say when I’m high include, “Wanna make out?” (Yeah. I know. Double-U Tee Eff!), “You are my soulmate”, and making some sort of a beeping sound.

I wish I was as tall as Taylor Swift. I wanna tower over everyone. Okay, well, everyone who isn’t taller than 5′11…Disadvantage is, it’s hard to find pants that are comfortable. Okay, it’s probably because I have manly legs. Sucks.

I used to think Play Station wasn’t much of a big deal. Until I went over to my friend’s house and played her PS2. I didn’t know what I was missing. Heh. So, are any PS2 fans gonna welcome me to the club? I never understood why people moved so much when playing PS2…Take for example, racing games. People edge to the left and right when making turns and stuff. And they have this manic look in their eyes, and some bite their lower lip a lot.

I’m no exception. I was playing Burnout(funnnn!) and moving so much to the left and right that I almost stuck my elbow into the mouths of the people sitting on either side of me. Heheh.

And then I learnt to ride a bicycle. I didn’t know how to ride one. Surprise, surprise. Hey, it’s not my fault my mom traded my two bicycles for a TRIcycle when I was five. (She does have quite the eye for good deals, agree?)

My school defines the term ‘holidays’ very loosely. I’m having(or SUPPOSED to be having) two weeks of ” ” ” ” well-deserved ” ” ” ” (couldn’t help sketching all those quote marks) holidays, but noooooooo, I have to come back three days a week for extra classes. Might as well make me come back every day, right? Hmph.
