burnt weekend (part 1)

2009-06-03T08:38:00.000-07:00

last weekend was burnt....but it was really worth it...haha...it was quite an experience going to the range...but...i cant say so much..dun wanna get charged for revealing to much...haha...the first day was a bit of a shock for me...when i saw live ammunition i was reallyyyyyyyyyy frightened...so we got off the tonner and i was appointed to load the live rounds into the magazine...the magazine box was really heavey too...much heavier than i expected it to be...and so began my day of loading nothing but amuuntions...after loading like a thousand rounds, i finally got my well deserved break...so i borrowed my friend's psp and started playing need for speed...then there was this noise at the back of me like someone trying to imitate a car passing by...it went on for a while and i was quite irritated...i turned around and wanted to tell that person to shut up thinking that it was one of the auxiliary staff...i turned around...and realised it was my OC!!! i was THAT close to telling him to shut up...HAHA that was close...the people there were really nice...sergeant and officers buying drinks and crackers for us!!! and they kept asking us if we needed breaks!! night firing was really cool.. but by then, my thumbs were already hurting from loading rounds non-stop...tracer rounds at night was really beautiful...but i was too busy to admire it...when the shooting was over we had to clear up the place and make sure everything was accounted for..then we loaded the essentials and put the rubbish in the tonner...imagine sitting in tonner with one day's worth of rubbish for a hundred over people...so we went back to camp to prepare for next day's work...

Turkey

2008-12-13T06:28:00.000-08:00

haiz...i dun believe i am doing this

2008-05-03T06:44:00.001-07:00

james yap..u really nothing better to do arh...ask this kinda bo liao thing( actually i also bo liao ) anyway...i decided to answer your questions (i still dun believe i am doing this) this were the questions posted on his blog
1)if your lover betrayed you what will your reaction be?
well if my lover betrayed me, then she's no lover of mine
2)what will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?
i really don't know
3)what will your dream wedding be like?
doesnt really matter as long as we're happy
4)are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
no why should i be?...on second thoughts...maybe a little
5)whats your ideal lover like?
a person i love
6)which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?
to be loved...like durrr....
7)if the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for then to change their feelings?
nope...if she already made up her mind or has other plans, i dun see why shouldnt i move on
8)if the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
move on and forget
9)is there anything that has made you unhappy recently
small little incidents here and there...but nothing to make me unhappy:)
10)what do you want most in life
be happy
11)is being tagged fun? (huh? so random)
erm...i guess so...
12)if you found out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, what would you do?
then no more best friend lor...girl also bye bye lor
13)who is the currently the most important person to you?
apart from God ( is God a person ), its my parents...then again i am not answering the question, coz my parents = 2 people...but what the heck...
14)what kind of person do i think i am?
suan-able (crap i just suanned myself), dun get angry easily kinda person...thats all i can think of for now
15)would you rather be single and rich or poor but married?
poor and married...provided i find true love..if not, i'd take the cash
16)if the person you secretly like cannot recognize you. what would you do/how would you react?
intro myself?
17)would you give your all in a relationship
well a sucessful relationship is one where both sides must put in their all...so if my counterpart is prepared to do so..i am..but as a guy...i think its only right that i do so first...
18)if you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
then it wouldnt be true love...coz true love is loving ONE person wholeheartedly...since its not true love...both also dont pick...besides i will try to prevent that from happening
19)what type of friends do you like?
(i like james answer but i want to be original) erm...ppl that make me laugh, people i can talk to about anything, people who don't get angry easily..blah blah blah
20)if you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would youdo?
keep reminding them that they kena tricked by me..lol
..........wow....at last i finished the 20 questions...haha...i actually finished it...lol....
anyway.....just wanted to blog about how irritated i get when i hear teachers in lecture halls asking 'can the back of the lecture hall hear me' followed by 'if you cant hear me at the back, pls raise up your hand' worse still is if someone actually raises his hand..lol...anyway...gtg now..will try to blog more..hehe

2007-12-08T05:15:00.000-08:00

okayyyy...got back from kahang and reached home on the 6th at about 7pm...it was a really really really good experience...even though i dont think i will be able to complete my NYAA gold..i have no regrets whatsoever in going for the trip...its good once in a while to live outside our comfort zone...to really appreciate what we have back here...to get a glimpse of how other people live...especially in the kampong area...met in school at about 7+..was still super sleepy..coz usually i sleep until like 11am...ZZZ...LOL...but..had to wake up super early...thank goodness my dad was in to send me to school :)..loaded my ultra super duper big bag onto the bus...not that i brought a lot of things..but bcoz my bag was just big...this would be super useful later in the camp...but anyways...got onto the bus and headed to the causeway....it was on board the bus that i realised that we were supposed to bring ringgit along with us..i didnt know that..so i only brought Rm20 with me...that was costly...didnt get to buy tid-bits and missed breakfast..coz they said lunch on the last day was on our own..damn..haha..so anyway..after the other people had their breakfast...we boarded the bus and continued our journey to the organic brown rice farm...fell asleep on the bus...and before i knew it..we were arrived at our destination...the farm was super big...they said like the size of macritchie...and it was really huge...we went into the multi-purpose hall-thats what they called it..but it was far from what the name implies-anyway...we went to the multi-purpose hall..and there was a briefing on what we were going to expect for the next 6 days...

Malaysia

2007-11-26T04:16:00.000-08:00

okay....fine...so i was kinda forced to go malaysia on Sunday with my parents...had to wake up at 5am to get ready for the coach that was due to leave at like 6:45.....what that means???...I HAD TO FORGO MY REAL MADRID MATCH!??!?....which started the time i woke up...lol...they drew anyway..so i dont think i missed much...haha...so..slepping at 12 and waking up at 5 was a near impossible task cosidering that fact that i have become nocturnal over the holidays...i've got a really screwed up sleep pattern..my sleep time can range from 12am to 7am....and my waking time can range from 5am to 1pm...need i say more??..haha..so anyway...woke up at 5am..half asleep and half awake...dad drove to lavander mrt station, the place where we were supposed to be picked up...got onto the bus at 6:40...and one-third of them were little kids...crap..i tell u...they were real irritating...so...we went to woodlands to pick up another 3 people...before i knew it, we were already at the singapore checkpoint...check the passpord and stuff..5mins later, we were at the malaysian checkpoint....stamp stamp stamp...chop chop chop...and we were ready to go:)...starhub damn lousy...halfway along the causeway...handphone no reception...lol...srry those who tried to contact...not my fault...first stop was some chocolate factory...boring...i think it was a total waste of time....then after that we were brought to some coffee shop to have breakfast...only had a drink...did really feel like eating...after makan...went to some big shopping centre....piang...i was asleep half the time we were there...lucky i had songs on my phone..otherwise...i dunno what will happen to me...haha....my mum went to shop...and my dad and i ended up stoning...so...after that boring encounter...we went to eat lunch....which was fabulous..it made up for all the boring moments spent at the shopping centre..there was fried rice, vegetables, chicken, fish, lobster, crab...blah blah blah...but the crap and lobster was messy...BUT WHO CARES???...and the toilets there arent the best either...and omg....the tour guide spoke chinese, the food menu was in chinese, the movie shown on the bus was chinese, most people in johor..or rather the places we visited were chinese...and u know what?? THEY ALL SPOKE CHINESE?!?!.....arrrggg...and the spoke to me in chinese...i wanted to reply them in english..but realised it would be quite rude...soooo..i decided no to....anyway..went to the herb farm next..and u guessed it...the descrpition of the her was ALSO in chinese...i realised that singapore's influence on johor is quite great..there were a lot of local stuff there..like tiger beer and stuff...and they all manage to tap into our local tv channels...the herb farm, as expected was a total waste of time again...then came the ostrich farm...which sounded more promising then the rest of the places i went so far...first thing u step out of the coach..u can smell a percular, not very pleaseant smell...ok...that was a lie...IT TOATALLY STINKED!!!!but i presisted on nonetheless...there were a lot of ostrich there...and they were erm...half naked????...lol....had their feathers plucked out......hahahaha...and i saw fresh ostrich skin...it was kinda disgusting....still had blood on it...and could see the shape of the ostrich's body...then there was a mini explanation about the life of ostrich and what they do on the farm....they had ostrich ranging from a day old to a couple of years old...and there were a couple of ostriches running around freely...was a little scared at first coz i saw on national geog that its kicked can cause seious injuries if not fatal...but apparently they wre domesticated...so i dun think there was much risk...besides...if an ostrich went on a rampage...i'd be quite save...coz..even if i dun outrun the ostrich (which i dun think i can) all i need to do is to out run the 20 something little kids there...ok....that was evil of me...but...haha....there were little children riding on a blindfolded ostrich...lol..so funny....and some were feeding them...at the end of the farm..they were selling ostrich products...and there was ostrich satay...decided to try one..at first i wanted to eat it in front of the ostrich...AHAHAHAHA...but i suddenly remembered about its deadly kick...and what if that ostrich knew the ostrich i was eating..lol...i'll be screwed...hahaha...the ostrich satay tasted quite pleaseant actually..tasted like beef....actually..i cant really tell the difference...so i wont know if they cheated me...it costed something like 70cents a stick...as compated to the usual 30-40 cents if it is chicken satay...but oh well...how often do you get to eat ostrich satay???..so went on the bus and drove to some honey farm...but along the way they screened mr bean the movie...AT LAST...SOMETHING ENGLISH!!!...but some pesky little brats in front of me had their big heads blocking the better half of my tv screen...what to do???listen to music and SLEEP!!..thats the best thing to do if your're bored...honey farm as usual was a waste of time...they just wanted idiot tourist like us to buy their products..but apparently there weren't so many 'idiots' in this group...coz no one ended up buy honey...should have seen the look on the faces after everyone sampled their honey but never buy anything..hahah....instead...most of the people flocked to the neighbouring mart to buy all the local foodstuff...after loading our bags to the brim, it was time for dinner....food wasnt as good as lunch...and even though it was air-conditioned, it wasnt very clean either...our table was just beside the toilet, and there were bugs on my plate...not that i really cared...just took a tissue and cleaned it...last event of the day....was to see the fireflies...it was dark by the time we reached the jetty..coz the fireflies were along side a river...quite deep in, away from the urbanised areas...the ride to the place itself took something like 15mins..but it was a really relaxing 15mins...feeling the breeze in your face under the moonlight...really wished i could stop time there and then..for once...all my troubles worries and thoughts were put aside...but it only lasted that long...soon we reached the place..and viewed the fireflies on the boat...everyone got really excited...and some brought plastic bags to catch them...i managed to catch one...but deicided to let it go later...since it would be going to die anyway if i kept it...so i decided to be a nice guy and let it off.....so once again...i had another 15mins on my way back to enjoy the moonlight and the breeze and to forget my troubles temporarily...once back on the jetty...the bus was there to fetch us, and make our way back to the causeway.....rather interesting day...its a good break in the monotony of holiday life...wished i could have something similar to this...bit i doubt it....going to have project eagles on the 1st and then leaving for melbourne on the 9th...oops...is this a long post?? i think it is right??...haha..oh wells... :) nites..oops..i mean..morning...haha....its past midnight...LOL

last monday was the chem olympiad...held in NUS..whoa..the place damn nice sia...hope i can get in there next time =)..okok...anyway...the paper was shit...first 20 mcqs about organic chem...only knew how to do 1...and i'm not sure if i will even get it correct...haha...but never mind...there is a 20% chance that i can get them correct....hehehe...the inorganic chem was easier than the organic chem...but there was also bio-chem...quite unfair coz its a disadvantage for people who dsnt take bio...more so for those who didnt take it in Os...and the open ended was full of crap...left the whole organic section blank...and ohh...its was a 4 hour paper with 100 mcqs...sat until my butt went almost went numb...thank goodness for the self-inititaed toliet break...if not my butt really go numb...lol..haha...anyway...the results are on friday...dont think i will get into the next round anyway...haha...met 2 ex-432 classmates at the chem olympiad..and had a brief chat before going into the LT...whoa..LT super nice...couple of days back..went out with sji ppl..kevin.ys and dada (oops srry..hahah)...had fun catching up with them too...watch beowulf...and played pool...got thrashed as usual..=(...and the sentosa outing the other day (srry this came a bit late)...was totally awesome!!..but i got roasted on my nose and hands...skin still peeling a bit on my hand..but it was a really great day=)..played volleyball, soccer, touch rugby and frisbee=)=)..hehe...AND got buried in the sand TWICE...first time by marie and guin, 2nd time by the whole class...lol...as if once wasnt enough...but it was quite fun to be buried up till the neck...after a day without eating lunch, everyone was fammished...so we decided to eat carl's junior...and i tell you...the burgers were NOT junior size...i was totally knocked out by the size of the burger, that my inital kiasu plan of taking as much free flow drinks as possible was ruined...only managed 2 cups...and i dont know why there are small cups and big cups since it is free flow...it dsnt make sense to me...if you got small cup, then just take a few more times lah...LOL...and the hols are pretty bored by the way...whole day play dota...but so noob...kena scolding from other people...so scared to play on public now =(...rahh...i think i should go and find something more meaningful and not waste my time doing nothing....any suggestions??????

.....or so i thought...until my dad reminded me of 'A' level chinese at the end of the month....i was like playing the FF12 lah...then he went 'i think you shldnt play all day...you should go and revise your chinese'...that was like 3 days after promos....of course i continued playing lah....chinese can wait after getting back the promos results...talking about promos...haiz....i dunno..i think i didnt do too well...GP comprehension was a killer for me...physics and maths were ok but i think i screwed them up, chinese...haha...that one is funny....i didnt know how to do the comprehension...so i find the key words, then find the paragraph with the same key words, then copied the whole paragraph word for word...beats doing nothing right?..as for econs..i had 'U' for mid years...need me say more??...the only promising one is chem...but i have a tendency for 'screwing' up 'promising' subjects...in short...i 'screwed' it up...that aside...the short holidays has been great so far... :)...managed to go for lan pool soccer squash meet up with friends...haha...superb!! just came back today from another lan/pool outing...haha...but i guess its going to be the last one....at least for this week..haha...now that promos are over..i think i will be able to update my blog more often:)

life without cast :)

2007-08-31T05:50:00.000-07:00

20th august...the day i took out my cast :)...gosh i had been dreaming about that day ever since i had put on that stuppppppid cast...so..left school early that day....'ve been praying that i could finally remove the stinky thing from my hand...( missed chinese lesson!! )..went to the usual place to have my xray taken...that machine looked horrid man....and the sound it made was absolutely bone-chilling...so i went to the specialist with the xray results...my heart sank when he started shaking his head...damn man...made me frighten...told me that the xray results were no different from 3 weeks ago...for 1 moment...i tot my promos were gone when he said i might need to wear it for another 3 weeks...but he said that he'd remove the cast to check on my hand by pressing on the broken bone...almost fainted...remembered the day i fractured, went to the A&E...doctor there wanted to find my broken bone...he pressed my broken bone...and the next thing i remembered was that i was stood up from my chair yelling in pain...and i think i almost punched his head...lol...thank goodness i didnt..otherwise there wouldnt be anyone left to treat me..hahaha...yea...so i was damn scared when he said he wanted to press it...he took out some electric saw which looked like it could slice through my entire arm easily...trust me...it sounded as bad as it looked...but it surprisingly didnt hurt me even though it came into contact with my skin...couldnt bear to look though..haha...hand felt absolutely naked and weak and hairy and disgusting and...ok you dont want me to go on...then the doctor gave me the warning sign that he was going to press...i sat on my left hand..haha...in case i punched his head...lol...but the pain i was expecting didnt come...:) so he said that i could take of the cast if i want even though he said that it would be better if i put it on...didnt want to coz that means i cant study well for promos..so he gave me a wrist guard to wear...wore it for the first day...coz i was super sad..and my hand was like 'naked' so i needed 'clothes' for it..hahaha...yea...but i wore it only for 3 days...even though i was supposed to wear it till the next appointment which is this coming monday...butttttt....i didnt.....couldnt be bothered...the only time i wore it was when had to see my pe teachers to tell them i cant do pe :D....hahaha...so many things happened over the course of these few weeks...i dont even know where to begin...so maybe for a start i'll keep it to myself...then maybe..i said MAYBE i'll share??...damn life is so damn complex and complicated...i wished there was something that could help reduce the complexity...haiz..but there isnt unfortunately...so..the only thing left is to live life to its fullest:)...teacher's day was superb today...first time performing for the guitar club...and the only strumer...ultra uber nervous...but there's always a first for everthing...oh and thx marcus for the cake....it was really nice...haha...and mrs la'brooy's son is like soooooo cute....hahaha....lol....went back to sji...see all the teachers ( thats just an excuse to go out later )...mrs sng...martina chan...haha...then had a mini class reunion...felt so at home there with everyone so familiar..seems like the last time i saw them was only yesterday...anyways....left sji..then took the bus to ps...and we missed the bus-stop...no thx to everyone's talking rubbish and trying to out-suan each other...nicholas wee was the most moronic of all...haha...as he always is...stupid lame ass...reminds me of how we tagged-team to suan all our teachers last time....XD...hahahaha......but anyways....had to backtrack...and we still made two wrong turns...haha...thx to james this time...moral of the story??? if you're lost, listen to james's direction...then to the exact opposite...confirm will reach where you want to go...so we ate at KFC...stupid nicholas wee...made me eat fish burger...wanted to eat chicken...but made me feel bad by eating meat on friday....but i guess its good to sacrifice a bit sometimes.. :)..then went to play lan...wanted to..but all 7 lan shops we went to were maxed out...so we tried our luck with pool....wasnt much better....but we managed to get 5 places in the end and played our hearts out....wooowtz...haiz..but in the end also stopped..went home for dinner...and i realised something...i cant study at home at all...never works...first i'll start on the chair and the table...then my legs will go on my bed...then i'll lay down on my bed...and the rest was history....haha...learnt my lesson...cant study at home...so i guess i'll study in school...haha....much more conducive...wow..just realised how much i've typed...okok...shan't bore you all anymore with my boring life...nites:)

you make me so confused...i really dont know what to do...

fingers crossed XXXXX

2007-08-15T05:37:00.000-07:00

utterly boring is an understatement to what school is nowadays...the only 2 things i am looking forward to now is to take out my cast on monday (hopefully) and the retreat held in school:)...i feel so useless not being able to do anything rahhhhhhhhhh....i wished i can play the guitar and piano properly soon...'ve been itching all over to play...AND i must catch up with all those homework i've been lagging behind in homework and stuff...might stay back for night study to catch up with all my homework and stuff...oh ya...something happened to me the other day...
haha....one day i was walking home lah...then suddenly, there was this car sales assistant who was promoting some car...then suddenly the car assistant asked me to go and look at the car...but i wasnt interested at all...but i soon decided to have a look anyway...no harm right?...so i was brought into the car gallery to see the car:)...after his explaination, i was slightly more interested to find out more, so i stayed a little while more and after quite a while of detailed explaination, the car quite good...so i decided to ask ' how much for the car?' to my astonishment and dismay, the assistant replied ' oh i'm sorry, i've decided not to sell it to you anymore, in fact i think i'm going to sell it to someone else'.............okayyyyyyyyy i was a little stunned at first want to sell the car to someone else, then ask me to go see for what??? was a little sad at first, but since the assistant doesn't want to sell the car to me, no point staying on right??? not as if the car assistant is going to have a change of heart and decide to sell the car to me, so after contemplating...i decided to leave the car gallery then i thought to myself...why did i want to buy the car in the first place?? am i ready to drive??? i don't even have my driving licence...as i leave the place with a not-as-heavy-heart, few steps later, yet another car dealer approaches me.........

when a door closes, another door of opportunities opens up for you
should i let the new 'dealer' approach me?? will things be the same as before?? should i go home??? or should i wait till i get my ' driving licence'??
thank u for making me feel special:)

2007-08-10T06:12:00.000-07:00

lol...i always have problems thinking of titles for my posts...haha...i dunno why...maybe its just me..:)...i've been in my cast for more than a month now...have practically become a left handed...i can do almost anything with my left hand except to scratch my left elbow...i hope my right hand will still work when i take off the cast..haha...sianz...really hope that i can take it off on the 20th...still a small chance that i might have to continue wear it...if i have to..then my promos will surely be affected...national celebrations in school was a disaster to say the least...the only thing worth going for was the mass...and the only thing that i was looking forward to was dismissal...the play was supposed to be performed by some grp of professionals...but i thought that the student's play were better...haha..but actually i cant really judge which play was better coz i dozed of 5 mins into the 'professional' play...NDP was really cool too...even though i couldnt watch it at marina bay...i'm sure watching it at home isnt as good as watching it live there...sigh...at least i had my sofa:)...gtg now..have chinese tution tmw afternoon...>.<

Vietnam-Day3 part 1

2007-06-10T02:40:00.000-07:00

woke up in the morning still quite sure that the crab and prawns are still swimming in my stomach...then i suddenly realised that i still had my 'wonderful' breakfast in the morning....i saw the prawns in the fried rice...then i suddenly gagged...omg...didnt feel like eating...so i decided to take a bowl of porridge just to make the free breakfast worthwhile...yay!!..going to the viet cong tunnels to have a taste of the vietnam war...bus came at around 11am to pick us up...it was a day tour...so there were a couple of families...there was another singapore family...a couple of hong kongers and australian and japanese...so we began our 90min journey...then i fell asleep...hahaha...arrived at our destination and depserately needed to go to the toilet...it looked worse than the worst kopitiam toilet avaliable in singapore....held my breath and hoped that i can finish my buisness in one breath...didnt work...had to gulp for breath after 50secs...and the toilet smelled like a mixture of pee, faeces and salted fish.....ok i am not going in to any further...so we followed the tour guide to start our adventure...(i'll try to get pictures when i get home to singapore :) )...there were like different kinds of booby traps made by the local to kill or injure the attacking american soldiers last time...and they were ingenious and gruesome...sharpened bamboo poles and all sorts of stuff...next..for one of the highlight of the days...i got to fire a real rifle!!!...a real one!!!...but it was kind of expensive...10 SGD for 5 bullets...whoa...but it really was an experience of a lifetime...loaded the live ammunition in to the AK-47 magazine...and i aimed the cardboard cow about 100m away...looked into the aimer and BOOM!!...i fired it!!! but the shot was so deafening that i literally went deaf momentarily for about 5 secs and it continued to ring for like the next 10secs...the force of the recoil was surprisingly strong..i think i got jerked back quite a bit...dont know army how man...haha....i dont think i hit the target on my first shot...:(...haha...then later one of the assistance who helped me load my bullets started pointing towards what looked like a pair of ear plugs!!!ah....stupid me...i missed the ear plugs...>.<.....felt like an idiot..hahaha...but they were not of any use anyway...hahaha...the next few shots were quite okay...hit a few targets...but i had to aim a little higher than the target...projectile motion...ahhhh........physics...mid years coming soon....ah....okok...out of point...haha....then we went into the actual tunnels..it was really claustrophobic...super small...it was something like the PE lesson i had when we had to crawl through the drain...just that it was much much smaller and much much darker..imagine living in there for years at a time...last stop was to sample the food that the people eat at that time...basically tapioca...tasted bland...but what surprised and disgusted me was that after we finished eating...(there was about half of the tapioca uneaten)...the staff threw it back into a common pot where they dished out the tapoica to prepare for the next batch of unsuspecting people...ewwwww.....so we ended out journey and headed back for the hotel...omg...i just realised how long this post is..haha...dont stop reading okay??hahah...

Vietnam-Day 2

2007-06-10T02:28:00.000-07:00

whoa...free breakfast included everyday...went down to the restraunt...looked quite promising...looked like a lot of varieties and quite appetising...until i put some in my mouth...*yuks*...the only thing that tasted good was the scrambled eggs...the fried rice had prawn shells in it and the stupid oven that i wanted to toast my bread in wasnt working...so i had to eat my bread cold....one day down...another 5 days of this wonderful *cough cough* food...hahaha...then ...more shopping!!! ahhhhhhhhhh..hahhaha....the roads here are like damn siao lah...motorcycles outnumber cars at least 10 to 1...and there are 'tourist security' here...specially to help noobs like me to cross the impossible to cross roads...but coming here has made me appreciate how lucky we are back in singapore..yea....i feel kinda sad to see some ppl less fortunate than us..and i think that we should really not take for granted everything we have...ok..enoough of emoing...hahha...shop shop shop..shop shop shop....bargain bargain bargain...:)..then came dinner...food was ok at best...prawns crab..beef...fried rice...the beef sucked big time...but the crab was quite good...the prawns was a local speciality...ultra huge...like 3 times larger than usual...then after eating...a bit more shopping before heading back to the hotel:P
