Nothing much to blog about...just that 2 incidents:1)my wallet 2)soccer match
I was feeling why so weird, my butt felt a bit...lighter than usual while walking home with Hen. Then I patted my hand on my back pocket and realised that my wallet was not at its usual place. People must be thinking I'm crazy or gay cause I kept patting my back pocket. In the end since we were near KFC, I tried going there and ask whether was there any returns of a wallet, even though I felt that my wallet is in the LT. Yup, KFC didn't have my wallet, walked back to school, went into the LT, which was not closed cause there was going to be a lesson soon and somehow found it lying happily on the edge. Money and cards all intact, double happiness. This is a victory for the kind-hearted a.k.a me.
Then Hen decided that we should walk the other route home, the route which passes the field. Then while walking there we saw the youth team football match. Damn funny too. Especially the Iran players. They were falling down hysterically(AHHHHHH~)and rolling on the floor as if they got knocked down by some 300 pound monster. When the referee gave them a free-kick I was wondering if the diver would be ROFL-ing instead. Such lame dives. And like goals galore. Stood there for a while and we saw 3 goals. And Iran was dominating. Shows how resilient the Chinese are.(FOR CHAIRMAN MAO!)Then the coach was even more funny. Obviously we don't understand what the Iran coach was shouting, but we sure as hell could understand the chinese coach.
'GEN JIN TA! KUAI KUAI KUAI!' Hen claimed that he heard the coach scolded one of his players 'Ji Bai' too. Haha. Can imagine it now. The defender made a mess and caused Iran to score. The coach got so infuriated, his fat, bulbous head about to explode, and he stormed into the field shouting expletives towards his bulking defenders,'NI KAN SHA?!?!? BU JU KAN JIN TA?? KOU TA JIAO MA! TA MA DE, NI SHI GE JI BAI!' Then I assume that the Iran's strategy would go into something like,'Brothers. We stand here now against the Republic of China. We must win and take what's rightfully ours, the Youth Cup. We will win, by hook or by crook, dive if you must, charge to the enemy if you need, we...the GLA will reign supreme! ALLAH AK BAH!'
Chuckling to ourselves after hearing some of the China coach's outburst, we left. Hen hoped for an Iran win; me, I have no preference. The only problem I had was that the announcer is a slacker! When Hen and I arrived at the field, we were clueless about the score. Then when China surprised Iran with a counter-attack and scored, some weird samba like music started playing but it also somewhat sounded chinese-like, the announcer announced the goal-scorer's name and the score now stands at 1-0...1-0. Even repeated herself. Then when Iran scored back, the score suddenly changed to 1-2. Both Hen and I were momentarily taken-aback, but the confusion soon cleared when the police officer nearby told us that prior to the Iran's goal, it was 1-1, so obviously the announcer was sleeping and made a wrong announcement. Slacker.

I never imagined my place could be a bazaar place, my wardrobe that is. I was so kind, I allowed Allan, Henry and Yw to bath in my house and after that, instead of thanking me and expressing their gratitude, they went and ransack my wardrobe to 'window shop'. Next thing I know, they were taking out the shirts that are nice and trying them on. Henry had the cheek to say 'thank you seb, bye.' while wearing one of my vest. Allan tried the same one but it didn't fit him so even though he wanted it, he couldn't have it. But too bad for both of you, the clothes are the exclusive property of Sebastian Rai, keep your paws away from them mind you.
And Mozilla is reallll cool. It has this add-on feature that allows you to convert the youtube videos to MP3. Now I can download most of my songs now haha. Btw, I finally get to download Shiny Toy Guns - You are the one. One of Yq's favourite songs haha. It's quite catchy too...you areeeeee the one...
And I just watched Transformers 2:Revenge of the Fallen yesterday. It was realllllllly long, just like what the guys warned me before. During the last fight scene I was already begging for the robots to just get it over with(just kill them damnit!), instead of constantly shifting the focus to those emotional scenes blah blah. I was so glad when the credits came out, rushed to the toilet and it felt good. It really was louder, more fighting, but the plot is...hmmm, confusing? Or is it because I'm daft? Can't be the latter right...obviously Michael Bay(allan baey??) missed out the finer points...
Speaking of movies, let's talk about Night of the Museum 2 ok? I find it really interesting, except that when you have a history-obsessed freak like my uncle, watching that movie with him can be quite annoying. I can talk about the movie freely here right? The movie was quite long ago already...
So I was watching it again for the 4th time, this time with my uncle. So when those historical characters came, he likes to ask me,'so who is this? what have she/he done?' And obviously I DON'T KNOW! And he would give the smug face and gave his detailed essay of the particular person-Al Capone, Amelia Earhart, General Caster...So now I know that Al Capone is not a really tall guy as well, Amelia was lost while she was making a flight past the Atlantic(?) and rumors were that the Japanese captured her and til now, her body and her plane was not found, General Caster's unit still exist in the Army...yay. I wonder how I could use all these knowledge in my ANF studies. I could use Pie though, the exact answer for Pie is 3.14159265. Cause Albert Einstein in the movie said so.
And I believe the director is against the french. How can Napolean(pardon my spelling) be a bad guy? It's not as if he did a lot of terrible things like the other villians i.e Al Capone and Ivan the terrible. In fact, Napolean is a brilliant guy! In fact, I liked his one phrase about 'It's not about the height and something else, it's about the plan, a brilliant plan.'(he is a really short guy) French rules.
Ok, I'm off to download more music now...Oh and I got a new phone, nothing special, just a good phone with its basic intended functions, can call and sms, good enough. I don't think Nxl's mom changed her phone also right? Twice now in the past 2 years, everytime I changed my phone Nxl will turn over and say,'Hey, that's the phone that my mom is currently using.' Trying to imply I'm what? That I'm cheap and old!?!? Kapeesh.

Well, great week so far. Even though I'm still without the CRA notes for this week, meaning tutorial could be a pain(but it has always been a pain), projects are half finished which is a good thing, so things are going on smoothly I guess.
The failure numbers of CRA was alarming and despite AZ saying that around 10 is from her class, it does not bring any relief whatsoever. The other 10 could very well be from my class, which fortunately, is not I think. Grades came out fantastic for me as well. So nothing to complain about.
Tax was a shocker. I thought tax was among the easy paper and it turns out to be a potential disaster in the end. How was I supposed to know things that are not liable to tax have to be written on the calculation on statutory income as well??? Cost me lots of marks. Other than that, it's fine. Managed to pull it up to a B too. Dunno the marker somehow missed out the nicely written '59 days', trying to cost me 1 mark. It's a conspiracy, I tell you. Allan got very high for this, 44, which I think is the highest in our class. Well done.
SAPM is the best. The papers were not returned back though, but the tutor flashed the results via
satellite, I mean, visualiser, and I got an A. Very nice and good. So it's great so far, just have to hope that BC would be good also, even though I lost some marks here and there. They really have to bold the '1 year' thing.
MJ died. No, not the one in tp, I meant Michael Jackson. But honestly, I think he would rather end up dead, no offense. Ever since his face got messed up and the invitations for boys to his home, insults are just hurled at him from every corner, like pedophile, gay, freak, blah blah blah. Then now you see everybody from every corner of the world mourning his death and offering their sympathies to him. Where are all the critics now? Bunch of hypocrites and sycophants.
'But what we have here is a old classic case of the good news and the bad news. The good news is, for the first time ever, The Miz will main-event a pay-per view this Sunday at the Bash in a match with me! Pretty good right? The bad news is...that the Miz for the first time ever, gets to main-event in a pay-per view match in the Bash...with me.' - John Cena

Eh, nothing much to say. Just feel like writing something here. But now that I'm here, I don't know what to write. Nvm, just write some recap stuff and some jokes that were shared among us.
Yq's Jokes:
1)There is a river filled with penis-eating crocodiles. There are 2 men trying to cross it and they obviously want to go through the river with their genitals intact. However, they are naked(dunno why)and they only have 1 leaf to cover and protect their organ. Erm, the leaf could be used as protection cause it covers the penis so the crocodiles can't see it so they won't bite it. Yeah, just assume that. And there's a log to cross across the river with. So, how does both guys get across the river?
Ans:The guy in front shall use the leaf to cover his penis, while the guy at the back shall protect his by sticking it into the front guy's ass.
2)Same river, but now no bridge. 3 pigs want to cross it but they have to swim to cross it. First pig swam across and got 1 ball bitten off. 2nd pig got 2 of its balls bitten off. 3rd pig swam across but no crocodiles bit him. Why?
Ans:The 3rd pig swam back-stroke.
3)How do you put a giraffe into a fridge? You open the fridge and put the giraffe in it. How do you then put an elephant into a fridge? You open the fridge, take out the giraffe, then put in the elephant. Now, at this time, 1 indian, 1 chinese and 1 malay jumped down from a building and prayed to their respective gods to save them. Who died?
Ans:The indian died. Technically there's 2 answers. Answer 1 is because before the indian could finish reciting his god's name in full, he hit the floor and died.(Indian gods' names are long!) Answer 2 is related to the above animals. Indians worship elephants. But the elephant is still stuck in the fridge. Can't save the indian =(
Don't know why, but most jokes are funny only when they are offensive. Feels kinda bad, being happy at another's expense.

As you all can see, my blog have not been updated at all. Could you blame me? Unless you want to hear about how we read around 20 CRA articles and ended up going to youtube to watch videos of C&C and other military stuff, then I'm sorry. You can always go to MSN and ask Dick for the videos. We have nukes blowing up on a neatly formed formation of red guards and they will fly around, 200 air planes flying around, nukes flying everywhere, and whatever. So, I have to source elsewhere for news to update this blog =/
First of all, to all Twilight female fans. You people are so...weird. You love the character, yet you almost ended up killing him. Here's the link:
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20090619/ten-entertainment-us-pattinson-ent-db3f2d5.htmlAnd here's a brief insight into the article:
"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi in New York as he tried to run away from a crowd of hysterical teenage fans, but he was not seriously injured, U.S. media reported.
He was not seriously injured, but his bodyguards reportedly were furious, according to RadarOnline.com which claimed to have witnessed the accident. One of the bodyguards yelled at the girls: "You see what you did, you almost killed him!"
Haha, some fans they turned out to be.
Next up is an amazing story of a plane. No, not Air France, we all know what happened to them and it's not amazing at all. What's amazing would be when they do find the black box. No, what I'm talking about here is this:
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090618/twl-us-pilot-dies-ef375f8.html''NEWARK, N.J. - The passengers on Continental Airlines Flight 61 didn't know anything was wrong with their trans-Atlantic crossing until they landed and were met by fire trucks, emergency vehicles and dozens of clamoring reporters. Their pilot was dead.''
Must be amazing eh, your pilot died mid-flight yet the plane still managed to land safely, thanks to the other 2 experienced pilots. Thank god for them. I wonder if there is an auto-pilot function on planes to help avert such situations if pilots are sacked due to the economic crisis. I wonder what would happened if an annoucement is made mid-air too.
'Ding, ding, ding. Ladies and gentlemen. We have experienced an er...slight problem. Ok, it's a big problem. Our pilot is dead. Do not be alarmed, however, as we have 2 extremely well-trained pilots ready to take over. They have just graduated from the school of engineering and have flown many planes before. Toy rides that is. Please, remain seated, put on your seat belt, and enjoy the flight. Thank you for your attention.'
And back to local news, I heard Jet Li is becoming a Singapore citizen? Haha, another big name becoming one of Singapore. Expect huge backlash from china forums lambasting about this issue, and blah blah. It never ends.
And Nxl is now playing dota. O.o. A word of advice, play ogre magi. Don't know who that is? He's the two-headed ogre mage that is found in a random tavern of dunno where of intelligence, but don't let the intelligence fool you, he's pretty dumb, he's a ogre goddamnit! But he's so useful for a new player. Only buttons you need to press is pretty much F,G,A. Level til you get your ultimate and let it boom, boom, boom! Fun, I tell you. Ask Henry about his FV. People are so afraid of it til they banned him for draft games. His name is Aggron StoneBreaker, btw. See how awe-inspiring his name is? It's like, he's a ogre, and he shares the same name as the pokemon Aggron. And he break stones too. I thought he should be breaking heroes though.

It's been a heck of a week, to be honest. The first SAPM meeting obviously didn't go very well, even though it's only the first step of the EIC analysis. Economic factors are already giving us a head-ache, now we have to content with Industries factors now. Where and how are we going to find statistics for the Manufacturing Industries as a whole?? Back to Reuters again...yipee, doopie, doodie doo.
Then during the 2nd meeting, Ken just came out and asked us about CRA project grouping. Totally forgot about that one. But groupings were settled fast, still lala about it. Could still play Restaurant City during project too. Come to think of it, the only reason why we played that during meeting is because we kinda gave up on Industries factors already. The whole time we 'thought' we were doing it, we were actually doing the Company factors instead. Zzzz. Then Hc have to further ruin our day by telling us that there are still tutorials to be done. ZZZZZ, completely forgotten about those crap. Got home, checked Vbus, hooray, deadline for the CRA project is like in the 1st-2nd week of July?? And to think I thought that this holiday could finally be a rest period, like stroll along the beach kinda thing, relaxxx, enjoy. Reality check comes in, and the reality hurts. A LOT. And people could still go on holidays. It's amazing.
Today went to T1(not the airport, the not-so-new 3rd mall in Tampines) and had dinner. And as usual, in T1, went to J.Co to have the yogurt and my coffee. Went there so frequently with my parents that one of the staff recognised us already and knew our orders straight away. My mom said it's embarrassing. But she still goes back there anyway. Then uncle was telling me about his old class reunion in August and asked me if I wanted to come along. I asked him is there any cute girls there? He gave a thoughtful look and said that he came from a technical school so there are few girls and my mom and I just started laughing. Walao, like I interested in your classmates like that. Must be all 40+ liao lor, even Yq's preference falls in the age group of 20-30. I'm just so happy that my parents don't do match-making, imagine uncle thinking of who should be my life partner, and he introduces me to his 40 plus friend and says we should get married. Think I might go kill myself.
And Allan, I don't have my sis' blog address. You want it, go ask her for it. I bet she has uploaded the entire set of the old photos in her blog. I can't even remember some of them. I do remember the Brazil shirt though, one of my favourites. I don't get why are all of you laughing though. Funny meh? I admit when I first saw those pictures, my mind straight away had this thought of 'who's that loser?' but then I realised it's me. So...ok, I get it, it's funny. But damn it, I bet all of you have wacky, lame, weird, funny looking pictures of your younger self too, just that you all are gutless, do not dare to show it. At least I just left the link there. I can't be bothered to delete the link anyway. That picture is me alright, laugh at it all you want, I could hardly care. Like I have the time to entertain all your thoughts of how crap I looked last time. The way I see it, I look better than 80% of all of you people now. I bet I'm going to get flamed for this, but heck man, not going to let you people get all the laughter and none for myself.
And me refusing to go to swim with the guys, does that make me 'niao' whatsoever? I don't want to at that time, so stop bothering me about it. As if like accompanying you guys to go swim for 1 day suddenly I will pop up have 2 balls suddenly. I bet you all had fun pulling each other swimming costume out. Hate the 'you scare ah, you sissy, no life' threat/taunt, it's so lame. The way I see it, the person doing the taunting is the one with no life, trying to pull all the stops to get me to do what they want. -.-
And Xy's blog mentioned something about telling people to stop comparing their lives. I think it's good too. Same as how most of us love to compare our classes now, including me. I should stop it. It's not doing anything, not achieving anything(except to annoy the hell out of people), and most importantly, what people chooses is really none of our business. Why should I care why others took AA and I took SAPM? It's because I'm not interested in AA and I prefer SAPM, and vice versa, simple as that. Can't believe how lame I was, how low I sunk by constantly telling those AA students how crappy their course is and how crap their test were as compared to mine. Makes me look more like an idiot. As if those recent old pictures didn't do enough damage.
Crappy week. And reading news about Ronaldo potentially earning close to 557,000 pounds a week is making me even more mad. Crazy amount of money thrown around everywhere. All for the sake of wanting the ball to be kicked in to the opposing net. We live in a crazy world sometimes.

Just finished watching The Amazing Race 12. Yeah, Yw and Henry came by today and said I was watching a lame show. How is it a lame show? It's awesome! You see people running around in circles when the clue box is someone at the edge of the circle and they will keep on running because they didn't see it lol. Not to mention that out of the 3 final teams, 2 of them consist of a dad and a grand dad, and the grand dad is the oldest to ever made it to the finals at the age of 69. How cool is that? Then we also have 2 old lesbian(I think), a gothic couple(ohmygoth) and a team that said that 'Karma is a bitch, but I'm a bigger bitch' and got eliminated in the very first round. Then we also had a team that got eliminated before the finals, they were bitching around all the way throughout the race, guy calls girl a bitch, girl calls guy something also, fight fight fight, after they got eliminated, become all huggy and stuff.
And it's not that I'm slacking. I can't do the APEL stuff. Said that they can't open with other versions other than IE7. Bullshit. So I took the rare opportunity to watch videos. Is it wrong to do that, huh huh. I bet all of you are watching your own videos and such.
It's going to be a lonnnnnnnnng day tomorrow.

Ah...just received a Sms from leader Yq that there could be a SAPM project meeting tomorrow at 9 freaking am. Walao, I thought can sleep more now(Holidays are here!!). Nvm, there will be meetings anyway, just don't want it to be that early haha. How to drag my ass out of my bed when it's holidays?
Hopefully the share prices can go up too. And I meant OUR SHARES go up. Who cares about other people's shares...Don't want reveal our shares also...my blog so popular, later one fellow SAPM guy come and saw our group's investment and decide to follow suit. Then how? Can't let another group go past us in rankings just because I decided to broadcast about how well our shares is doing in my blog right? 'HAHAHAHAHA, our shares' prices are sky-rocketing off the roof baby! All you suckers, BE JEALOUS!' Inviting trouble only sia.
And went to dye my hair recently...just decided to try it before NS lor. Do whatever I want with my hair before none of it is left haha. I wanted some darker colours but my parents say 'Nono, must obvious one, you scared ah?' Can't believe I fell for that dumb old coward bait and went for a light brown colour. Now look like some random Ah Beng that goes around asking you for protection money. Pray that it will somehow turn darker...pray, pray. Or else I have to go all woo, woo, woo.
I really am taken aback by some of the wrestlers during their interviews. For this instance, there was an interview with John Morrison. Never realised how educated this guy is. He was telling this interviewer about the 'palace of wisdom'(which he is claiming to currently reside in) and uses the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to describe it. I forgot all about Maslow lol. I can vaguely remember something about safety and self-actualisation since he mentioned that the palace of wisdom is achieved in the stage of self-actualisation. Next you will hear about Charlie Haas talking about the various depreciation methods and inventory valuation methods such as FIFO(he holds an accounting degree) and Chris Jericho talking about various big words that I would most probably have never heard of in my life. Ah, those wrestlers are already making most guys jealous due to their nice body shape, now they want to make us look like idiots. Talk about adding insult to injury =/.

Hahaha, exams are over. The best is that the last exam is the lamest to study for, and the easiest paper so far. Hope this don't come back to haunt me though, later get back a mediocre grade then my mind will replay the words 'easy paper' over and over again. But it's really crap lah, not even sure what to really study also. You all think FOT got lots of theory? This SAPM is all theory cept for some FOI calculation stuff. No formulas given also. Every single page I flip from my lecture notes is all 'And from the analysis of B.F.King, we can conclude that...' future biodegradable toilet paper zzz. Vbus didn't help at all. I thought I sure fail my paper if the paper turns out to be the one uploaded in Vbus. So many weird formulas that I have never seen before and there were MCQs??? Weird MCQs also...some of the concepts I've never heard of. Turns out, I was doing the main exam paper zzz. Wa, so ambitious ah Seb, I didn't know the entire SAPM Vbus only uploaded main exam paper and no mid-sem paper to try. Then what do we have for our actual paper?
Qns1:Gov uses fiscal and monetary policy to balance out the macro aims. What are the 3 macro aims?
Qns2:What is monetary policy?
Qns3a:What is fical policy?
Qns3b:Explain how the gov can use open market operations(monetary policy) during recession.
Qns4:Using Michael Porter's 5 competititve analysis, analyse BreadTalk. The paper already gave you 3 points to write about, just elaborate about them.
Qns5 is to state the extended Dupont formula and calculate the values and analyse it.
In short, what Minghua said during reading time sums up this paper:Sui,sui,sui! I was chuckling to myself how the AA students are suffering later when they have to go through their piles of FRSs to answer their question 1a,b,c. HAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway after that, Henry managed to drag Yq, Dick and me to gym to 'celebrate'. Then go swim -.- Swim my ass, initially did what Henry planned, to *actually* swim. Then later suddendly became a free-for-all pull down each other pants or fighting in the water. What did we all get in return? Enjoyment, some unknown bruises and sun-burnt skin to boot. Only Dickson managed to escape with his skin as white as Paul Scholes. I think his shower gel is Colgate lor.
Of course the real enjoyment is not getting sun-burnt lah. Dunno go where and played LAN for quite long. This time Yq didn't burn our wallets, just went to Xy's restaurant called XY JI. Not sure of the full name, but very sure got XY. Went there eat sliced fish soup with rice haha. Yq was very gracious to buy Henry a semi-formal shirt from Domanchi(??) too. He actually bought a polo-tee from Lacoste for me too lor. Fits me so nicely leh, as I tried the shirt for him haha. In the end he snatched the parcel away from me and is going to give it to his colleague for his birthday gift. Humph !@#$@!.
Went back home tired, slept painfully cause turning the body slightly hurts due to sun-burnt skin.(Thanks a lot Henry, you son of a gun!) How many times have our swimming session become an all out brawl to see who ends up taking off someone's swimming wear???!?! Let me think...ahh...think every single one of them. Screw it.
And here's all your definitions of the words(credit to dictionary.com, don't accuse me of plagiarism):
Sycophant - a self-seeking, servile flatterer; fawning parasite.
Albatross - a seemingly inescapable moral or emotional burden, as of guilt or responsibility.
Recalcitrant - resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant; refractory.
There, have fun with them. Who knows, maybe you could use them in your scramble game or Word Challenge in Facebook...
And do you guys know how Dickson is increasing his level in Restaurant City so quickly? He reads some bloody ass online guide about it. WTF OMFG?
Oh yeah...and can someone give me either tomato, beef, ice-cream or cream? Give me all also can hahaha.

Since I have some free time now, might as well blog a bit. Shall not blog too much about the tests so far...might jinx it haha. Shall talk a bit about BC though...cause it's quite funny. I finished the paper around 3.45 and after checking it, it's already over .50 so I can't hand it up and leave. At first around 10 minutes I thought Maggie finish so fast, stood up and leave. Actually she was going to the toilet haha. I was only in qns 2 lor. So after finishing the paper, nothing to do, so I just took out the textbook and read some of those illustrative examples. Quite funny thing about the baseball, they explained how they used the parabola to estimate the distance of how far the baseball went but I still can't get it. All the while I was reading these texts, people around me were fervently flipping through their notes in the hopes of finding a similar question so they can copy the method to solve it or looking for the formulas. Have to thank Henry for this though, he forced me to remember the formulas. Not that hard to remember them too, so...repetitive. Thanks Henry, you're a nice person, just not as nice as me. It's a compliment though.
So if don't talk about test, talk about daily life lor. Before the BC test, I went to the gym to exercise a bit. There may be tests going on, but one should not neglect their physical health. I swear there is a conspiracy against me. The first time I went to the Tamp gym with uncle, I tried the treadmill for the first time also. I could only do up to a speed of 7.5 then. And almost all the guys around me were running at like 9-11. I felt so...useless. So I finally managed to run at 10 now. And people around me are running at 11-13. Bloody hell. I bet next time when I reached 13, people are either running at 15 or they are running at an incline of 10 -.-
I also used to think that my English improved a lot during secondary 2 because that was when I read Harry Potter. Obviously it's must better than reading small books like 'Jill went up the hill to fetch water' or 'Singapore Ghost Stories' (I walked up to the temple ah, got this berrrrry big ghost, sibei scary sia!!!). Xinyuan is reading more 'chim' stuff about life values and such. Those type of books very difficult to read, sure will fall asleep. Very slow moving...not action packed. But now I realised, my English actually improved because I watched WWE! Or more specifically, I watched Chris Jericho! It's like what the commentator said, he must have received a dictionary for his birthdays. Lol, almost everytime he speaks, I learn a new word. Words I have learnt so far from him:
Sycophant,
Ostracised,
Albatross,
Gelatinous,
Recalcitrant,
...and many more.
But I dunno how to use those words though...maybe at the end of the tests, I could include a small note about the test...kinda like for FOT last question about the dividends.
'The exclusion of whether the dividend was franked or one-tier is a conspiracy orchestrated and perpetrated by the gelatinous, petulant, recalcitrant, sycophonic teachers who vilified and ostracised me.'
