A new form of carbon has been discovered in which the carbon exists in tiny tubes called single walled carbon nanotubes or SWCNTs, read more on the Wikipedia, here. SWCNTs are the lightest, stiffest material known, by a very wide margin.
Currently, single tubes can now be grown an inch or so long, and I am sure Easton will be very interested when they get to 32 inches.
Arrows 1mm in diameter anyone?

"My mama always say life is like a box of chocolates; because you're never know what you're gonna get"
This phrase above best describes my feelings now. I feel 'messy' inside of me. Again, those explosive feelings all piling up.. Gonna take a long time to recover.
I hate to admit it, but i am losing interest in archery. I'm losing it fast. I need some motivation at least to sustain interest.
Winning is addictive; when there is an area where i can win; i strive hard. And when light isn't shining the way i am going, i hit rock bottom like a sunken battleship. Where is the fighting spirit that i used to have?
Solution: i need time. just time. and some sessions.

gosh.. this is NICE
Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race
I am an arms dealer Fitting you with weapons in the form of words And don't really care which side wins As long as the room keeps singing That's just the business I'm in, yeah
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race I'm not a shoulder to cry on But I digress
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, Oh so intricate [x2]
I wrote the gospel on giving up (You look pretty sinking) But the real bombshells have already sunk (Primadonnas of the gutter) At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep Crashing not like hips or cars*, No, more like p-p-parties
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This bandwagon's full Please, catch another
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, Oh so intricate [x2]
Whoa-ohh Wooh
All the boys who the dance floor didn't love And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fast enough Sing, until your lungs give out
This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Now you) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Wear out the groove) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Sing out loud) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race (Oh, oh) This ain't a scene, it's a goddamned arms race
I'm a leading man And the lies I weave are oh so intricate, Oh so intricate [x2]

The first day of sch is always fast. I had to rush from place to place for lessons and also for CCA recruitment drive. I like this feeling, make me feel as though i am a busy man. Laughs..
Somehow, when i went back to sch today. I felt that something in me has changed. I feel that i am no longer the previous me that go to sch and have nothing to do. Alot of things flooded my mind as i was recruiting the new intakes. Working in Timberland and with those fun lot of ppl made me a more interesting person. This i can say, is my most enjoyable job so far. I did some calculations on my pay for timberland; ard 1500. if there is more, it's a bonus. Anyway, we managed to hit our target of 200,000. This means that i have more for commission.
I saw RF today at the bus stop. I am glad to see a good old friend of mine. sheesh, still not changed. same old her, still thinks she is ugly and fat. We rode over to Mcdonalds and makan student meal. Budget meal in another words. haha. Conversations were abt the nice old days. I yearn for the feeling of familiarity. I hope to plan for an outing next year to Malaysia for our sec sch mates. We can shop, makan and talk =) i love Malaysia..

This song best decribes me now
it's abt SJ
How To Save A Life - The Fray Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

sigh.. damn, i woke up early today just to make sure i make it in time to meet melissa . All the way to Eunos and she did not turn up . sigh.. pissed off course. Anyway, i have been dotaing the night away and been getting very little sleep.
Nah, i won't get addicted to it.
I haven't been shooting for a week now. Feels like part of me is missing. Maybe this is just what i need; a break.
I made it to the post office in the morning to send my IBM battery to the main office. The problem with it is that i can't seem to charge my battery. Anyway, if the problem still persist, i can send in my lap top again. The services that IBM provides amuses me, and as a customer, i feel satisfied. They spoke to me very politely,( no hi , yes, bang phone that kind of stuff, no signs of irritation in his voice) over the phone and told me how the problem can be solved. And not all companies provide the service of going to the post office and sending the lap top back to the main office.
if you look at the link above you would be able to see that i made it into the youth training squad. I need to train harder to go further.
Anyway, i've got alot of things to rant abt;
KNNBCCB, fucking pig. You are NO fucking better. You just stop coming over here. Buzz off! fucking kang zhu
And work has been good, just that a few problems occurred. Some of my friends were taken into custody of the police for pasting wrong price tags. And a new supervisor came over, he is a strict guy. I can't use a phone, i can't talk to other promoters. sigh.. nvm, just take it as it goes.
Overall, life has been good. I am enjoying the holidays, day by day, i see it coming to an end. I am starting school on the 16th of April, just one more week to go!
There will be afternoon showers with thunder for the next 3days. So just be careful if you were to go archery. Don't believe me? Click here than
i am gonna change my phone soon, am eying on N80 =)
