Hey guys.
As part of the blog revival team, I decided to start a new thing for the blog.
This will be called the 5S1 Creative Works.
Every now and then, this blog would be posted with any original work by the students of 5S1. It can be self-written english articles, bm articles, mandarin articles, photography, designing, drawn art, lyrics, anything at all!
Comments are certainly appreciated and i'll try to add a small space everytime for the comments of whoever who contributed the piece of work.
Hopefully, this would show the more 'creative' side of 5Sc1 and encourage ppl to do the same.
If you guys have any piece of work you will like to share, feel free to msg me and send me via MSN Messenger. If it's not a computerised work, meet me in real life and we will try to get it on the computer. Thanks. And oh yea, if you are NOT from 5Sc1 and still wish to share ur work, feel free to do so. Just nudge me and tell me.
To start things off, we got..

Just the other day I was engaged in a rather strange discussion. A friend, who is a girl, asked a group of us 'guys' why we play computer games. The immediate responses were sarcastic replies. "To get away from nagging women, who ask annoying questions."
Most of the guys didn't seem to have a serious answer. I, on the other hand, know exactly why I play computer games. I play computer games because I want to escape reality. There is no other reason.
When I play a computer game I don't have: homework to do, tests to study for, a job to get to, a girlfriend to deal with, bills to pay. When I play a computer game I have no life. That is the way I want it. I don't want to worry about next week, or the week after that.
Just a few days ago I won versus someone who was better than me, because he* made some crucial mistakes that I capitalized on. He obviously didn't like getting beat by me. So the shit talk started, while he hid his buildings.
*(I assume it was a he, because I doubt a girl would say what 'he' said. Girls just aren't that stupid. I could be wrong.)
Most of the time, if someone tries to bring me back to reality, while I'm playing in another dimension, I get a little peeved. The game lingered on about fifteen minutes longer than it should have. During this time, he hurled insults at me. Telling me to:
"Get a life!"
Now my immediate response was "no". I don't really think he understood my answer entirely. The onslaught of 'roflcopter' (what idiot made that up?), 'rofl', 'lol', 'lolz', came by the dozen. It seemed to make him happy that I was unwilling to 'get a life', like I can just run down and pick out the one I like.
After considering what he was saying I decided I should ask, "Which life?", because I sure don't want to buy the wrong one! Again, I doubt he understood me and I wasn't going to explain myself. He said I should get a real life. What does that mean?
Is the life I lead now not real? Do I live in the matrix? Wait, I better charge off to get myself a better 'real' life. So I was shopping around the life aisle, you know how depressing it is. These people have such amazing lives, while I just live in a box and my computer is made of bamboo. My coconut string modem is kind of choppy too. I don't really have a life of any kind. But wow, these people, their lives are just so amazing.
This guy has a girlfriend, and we all know that the number of girlfriends in the past year is directly proportional to the quality of life. In fact there is a direct relation to the rising rate of increase in the quality of life in regards to the number of girlfriends. If I work out the quotient I can see a direct graphical relationship with happiness and quality of life depending on how many girlfriends I have. The divine number has been found if I just increase it, my life will most assuredly get better.
Oh wait, look there is a sale going on at those lives over there. Wow, I could get a derivative of Einstein's life. That would be great: changing the world forever, having everyone in the world know my name. Crap, look at the negatives, I would have to love science more than women. I would have a crappy job to begin with because I didn't work hard in school; damn I don't even know what a Swiss patent clerk is!
Perhaps I should take a look at the more expensive lives. No don't like the porn star, high chance of dying from sexually transmitted disease. Ouch, definitely don't want the dictator, slaughter thousands of innocent people and be known as a monster for the rest of time. Definitely don't want that life, protesting to the English, and what a weird way to 'fight back'.
Dammit, this is just too hard; I can't make this kind of decision. I need to take a break from reality. I'm going to go play Warcraft. Oh wait look, that life looks nice, hey hold on second, this is my...
End of article.
Go gamers! Woohoo!
Alrite guys, any stuff msg me. Bye for now.
