What You Need At A Time Like This




+-2-[di(phenyl)methylsulfinyl]acetamide




MODAFINIL





Which is better known as Provigil. Modafinil is a compound which is widely used by air force pilots to stay sharp so they don't crash and die pointlessly. It is used to treat ADHD and fatigue. But let's focus on the latter. Tired of pulling all-nighters for the not-so-distant SPM/STPM? Here's the solution - PROVIGIL




Before we go on, do take note that provigil is a drug. Steroids for the brain. Provigil helps you to stay alert for long hours, even up to twenty hours straight. Now you can finish studying all your subjects in a single day, eh? No sweat. You can forget coffee, Livita, Red Bull or Brand's essence of chicken.



Some take provigil to become smarter. But it doesn't work like that. What it does is, it gives you a mental boost. Just what you need to grasp those scientific concepts, memorise historical facts, and learn to solve mathematical problems in these last few days. Don't get too excited though, because 30 pills would make your wallet $135 lighter. That is RM 462.24. And you don't become smarter after the drug wears off, just to remind you once again. It only gets worse from here.




Side effects include multiple sclerosis, uncontrollable sweating, panic attacks, depression, late periods, low sperm counts, terrible acne, terrible back pains, weight gain, hair loss, yeast infection, muscular dystrophy, premature senility, erectile dysfunction, cardiac arrest, visual impairment, speech problems, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, bronchitis, chronic kidney conditions, uncontrollable bladder, urinary tract infection, diabetes, dwarfism, gastroesophageal disease, ulcers, migraine headaches, Lyme disease, cerebral palsy and anxiety. Kidding...




The only possible side effects are agitation, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, confusion, nervousness, tremor, palpitations, sleep disturbance, nausea and diarrhea. Nothing to worry about.





Let's get real. Provigil is not the way to go. Instead, exercise, eat right, learn new things and get enough sleep. You know better than I do. And when you're feeling stressed out, you know you can always turn to your creator.







As for now, I would be happy to get a good night's sleep...

Is this it?

Is this what Imran was talking about? Because I think it is a joke. Or is it?

Pecipta 2009

...was a disappointment. I have to be honest. You expect spectacular inventions and gadgets, but you get less than that. The inventions were not what you would call innovative, creative or practical. It doesn't surprise me if you say the standard of our colleges are bad. I've always tried to get myself to be optimistic but what I saw today didn't do any help. But let's try to be optimistic anyway. Well, I can say I had a good time with my friends today.

Among the exhibits were a 'modern congkak' which I don't understand why they had to make it, a fire fighting machine, a segway like invention called golleq, a not so necessary car door cloth roof, and a flexible jacket with a tent attached to it which is too small for a normal adult. We had good kebab for lunch and visited the Petronas Art Gallery for fun.


Mold, scale model, and prototype.

The Fire Fighter

Its like a segway, only with a single ball underneath,




The thing on the door is supposed to help you stay dry while openning the umbrella.





The grey sheet behind is a tent.

What happens when you divide by zero?

This is a response to Allan's question. If you do care, go ahead and find out what happens when you divide zero by zero. Is it 1, 0 or undefined? Of course, these pictures are not to be taken seriously.

A is the new A1!

That's right, no more A1s, A2s, B3s and so on. There's a new grading system where

  • 1A = A
  • 2A = A-
  • 3B = B+
  • 4B = B
  • 5C = C+
  • 6C = C
  • 7D = D
  • 8E = E
  • 9G = G

Old ones are on the left, new ones are on the right. And, an A+ is given if you perform exceptionally well.

Do It Like Them Russians

A very unique way of warming up.


Lots and lots of submission and grappling techniques.

Three Thousand Words and Counting...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I think it's more than that. These are pictures from our not so recent photo shoot for the school magazine. I have to admit, the photo shoot was done in a bit of a hurry (notice the people in the background), but credits to the photographer for these pictures. It's not easy conducting a photoshoot. Credits to the editorial board as well then. I somehow gained a few pounds in these pictures, don't you think?
To those who are in any of these pictures, feel free to grab it. And, if you're not but you would still like to do so, go ahead. This is after all, my last year in BB. Pictures like this will bring back good memories. I have also uploaded these on facebook, so feel free to tag anyone you like. Also, click to enlarge.

Alfa Bravo Charlie


You know sometimes when you get confused whether a person is pronouncing the alphabets 'B', 'D', or 'P' because they just sound too similar. It can be frustrating at times. That is when we then option for things like 'B' for ball, 'D' for donkey, and 'P' for panda maybe. Teachers use this to give answers for MCQs (multiple choice questions). Yes, it is easy to understand but that doesn't sound too cool now, does it? Watch movies like Die Hard and you'll probably notice there is a certain system for naming alphabets (which is ten times cooler and makes you sound like a total bad ass). The NATO phonetic alphabets . The military uses this to transmit messages through radio. You can say, it is used internationally.


A - Alfa
B - Bravo
C - Charlie
D - Delta
E - Echo
F - Foxtrot
G - Golf
H - Hotel
I - India
J - Juliet
K - Kilo
L - Lima
M - Mike
N - November
O - Oscar
P - Papa
Q - Quebec
R - Romeo
S - Sierra
T - Tango
U - Uniform
V - Victor
W - Whiskey
X - X-ray
Y - Yankee
Z - Zulu


Now that you know, you can use it while spelling something out through the phone. Until then, Hotel Alfa Victor Echo Foxtrot Uniform November!
