Okay, okay, so I said that I didn't really care about the American election. But this news is BIG! like...REALLY BIG!!
That's right people. If you don't know - Barack Obama is now president. Wow. First Black President in US history. Why did it take so long?

Found on Internet somewhere...so quickly they make these things. Anywho, this election was probably finished as soon as Barack became elected as the candidate. I mean, there are so many black people in America, if they voted for McCain, they'd probably have the shit kicked out of them by other black guys (no offence whatsoever).
But it was very funny to see in the paper at around 3.40 today as I was traveling home, that the winning margin was Obama: 270 to McCain: 64....okay maybe that's wrong, but its as near as I can remember. Maybe its changed since then, but meh, that margin looks damn big. Weren't the polls saying it would neck and neck? I don't think so. =P
On a darker note, nearly everyone I talked to on the way back home today was saying that Obama would be assassinated. They were even taking bets on when! Most said on Inauguration Day, January 11, when he's officially sworn in. Others were saying not even a week. I say he's not too bad, and even when we do find out that Palin is behind the shootings, he'll be a hero in our minds (maybe?), just like Martin Luther King Jr. Now to wait for the hype in another 4 years when Barack Obama wins again. XD
Last few days have been pretty tiring. Got exams in less than a week, and still a few assignments to hand in. How to do revision at the same time? Got alot done in the last few days and is very proud of it, but becoming very stressed at what is to come...EXAMS!@# Example A: Civics and Citizenship, some gay assignment, is due on Monday. It's some random presentation on 'what it means to be Australian'. Lykwtf? A conversation on the bus:
Justin aka Koo-min: "Screw that man. I'm Korean. I don't care about Australia."
Dan: "Then why don't you go back to Korea?"
Justin: "Err, my parents don't wanna."
Jason: "Then get a job and save up enough money to buy an aeroplane ticket to go back to Korea!"
Justin: *Silence*
Riiiiggghhhtt....anyway. To the (inspirational? motivational? humorous? serious?) quote!
Quote of the whenever:
God runs electromagnetics by wave theory on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the Devil runs them by quantum theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Sir William Bragg
Ahh, no wonder scientists can never get it right...
And that's another ten minutes of my time wasted on blogging.
Baii~!

Just like the kitteh, I am tired. It is called...barely surviving. Blearh...exams in just over a week, with a 5-day holiday to study study study. Bringing home so many books is heavy and damn tiring, and after two hot and exciting matches of soccer/futsal, that kinda sucks. Blah again.
LOL about soccer. Yesterday at lunch, was playing soccer with friends on the hockey pitch. No black shoes allowed...how racist...but anyways. So one of the guyz is going for goal after a magnificent cross by our good friend Kento (or Tom?) and it goes OVER the wall next door. Imagine how we would feel. No more ball for us to play with...T_T party over. Then, with a large amount of visual acuity, our good friend Alex spotted a hole in the fence that we could climb up to. But how to get over? We had no clue about what was (cue dramatic music) over the wall. So one of the other guyz (dunno his name) climbed up and found that the ball could be easily gotten because the floor (of the building next door) was level with the hole (which was about two or three metres above the hockey pitch). Blearh...another random rant about stuff...insanity meter all gone now...
Trying out this video thing...I don't know if it works. I'm kind of new to this embed video from youtube type stuff, but when I get the hang of it, there'll be more coming! This video is a sketch from the timeless comedic genius that is Monty Python. This is a favourite of mine - if you watch and think its weird, either:
- I'm weird, or
- you are not intellectually capable enough to understand the jokes involved.
In many cases, it's probably the first option. Everyone will agree that I am a pretty unique type of guy. And that uniqueness has led to certain friends insinuating that I don't actually have any and have to pay for them! AS IF! That $20 was just...a gift...for something else. NOT friendship at all...=P And those particular friends have approached me to ask me to buy something from them...*hint hint*
Quote of the whenever:

This quote really does kind of reflect what I think of the US election. True, I may support one of the candidates, but the race has taken over the whole world's media. I see these Americans on the screen....ALL THE TIME!! I'm kinda fed up with the whole thing. Even after November 5, when they actually start voting, there'll still be lots of 'wow look its so-and-so', 'he's gonna be such a great president' until January 11 or whenever the 'swearing in' day is. So maybe the USA has been 'good friend's' with us for a while, and so maybe they are our greatest ally. But they make the whole world look at them, and Americanism has taken over the whole world. True, they produce good stuff (like Heroes =P) and maybe they have good 'monuments' and 'history', but who cares? The whole world is enraptured by this upcoming election. I'M NOT, and I'm pissed that they keep showing things that won't directly affect us.
Anyway, revision time for the amazing one, me
