2012 wrap-up summary

Hey guys;
So, 2012 is nearly over. Within the next few days, or next week, news sites would probably begin to wrap-up things that had taken place so far this year.
So, 2012 features many events, both fun and exciting, and scary, devastating and depressing. Thhey range from the bombing of Sukhumvit 71 in Bangkok during February to the Earthquake in Indonesia during April, to fun sporting events that took place throughout second half of the year, from regional football tournaments to the 2012 Futsal World Cup in Bangkok and the Euro Cup 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, to world wide sport events like the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Of course, along with fun events, there are also a number of events that make us feel bad, ranging from the deaths of important individuals to regional protests around the world, to civil war in Syria, which is still taking place.
Now, in terms of events in my life, 2012 is a year full of epic events, which fits with the year of dragon, since dragons are usually big and epic. I can say, in 2012 I had been through pretty much every kinds of feelings, from happiness and exciting, to sadness and depression, to difficulties and hardship, to boring and annoyances.
As usual, here are the list of the 5 best events of 2012.
The best event in 2012: Year 10 residential trip to Rayong in January.
Once again, residential trip has been selected as the best event. Why? Well, it's so epic and fun; this year's residential trip is the best yet! Although I have to do a lot of work, but it's worth-it. Also, the activities were very fun and exciting, especially the mangrove swamp and the party during the last night of the trip, which was very fun!
The second best event of 2012: Sports Day of 2012 during February and the so called 'Super October'.
Well, two events are featured here, since I can't decide which one amongst these two are better.
Let's start with the Sports Day. It's very good, pretty much like last year. During the day, the weather was very nice, cloudy throughout the day, which makes the day cool. But sadly I missed a chance to win my last medal for high school.
Now, on to the super October event. This event comprises of two sub-events, the ASDAN trip on October 16th and the International Day of 2012 on October 19th. The ASDAN trip was great, even though I am doing it individually. I get a chance to go around Bangkok, riding the BTS. I did get to see many different things, and see how the city changes as I reached different areas of Bangkok.
Now, on to the International Day. It's certainly the best! Like previous years, there are no classes, and the activity was amazing! Best of all, I get to work in a team that I desire! It's quite fun, providing services to students. My team chose to offer basketball games, and my team made a profit of 1565 baht!
The third best event of 2012: Super November.
Again, this event has two sub-events, and an additional feeder event. The feeder event was the rainbow rock concert throughout the first week of November, which is quite fun watching the bands.
The two main events were the ASDAN rock climbing activity and the Loy Krathong of 2012, taken place on November 15th and 23rd, respectively. The rock climbing activity was quite good. The Loy Krathong event was fun, especially in the morning where I get to dance and have some fun. But sadly there weren't much in the afternoon, though.
The fourth best event of 2012: Songkran of 2012.
Songkran this year was certainly great. If the April 5th catastrophe did not happened then Songkran this year would be better!
The event starts at school, on April 6th. There wasn't much on that day, apart from the water splashing, which is very fun!
Then, during the holiday, the Pranburi trip was also fun. Although I mainly feature events at school, but the trip was too good and it was not far apart from the celebration at school. The hotel I stayed in at Pranburi was quite good, with good accommodations and food. I do have some fun playing with kids!
The fifth best event of 2012: Year 10 field trip during May.
Once again, this event comprises of two sub-event: The ASDAN bowling trip on May 13th and the year 10 Thai IGCSE trip to Siam Museum on May 17th. Both were very good and fun, however the Thai trip was a bit better since it's the whole day trip meaning I get to miss lessons. Also the Thai trip was a bit more interesting, since I get to learn about Thai history, which is quite interesting thing to learn.
That's it for the best events. Now on to the worst events. However, most events this year was very good, so instead of featuring 5 worst events, I will feature the worst outstanding event.
The worst event of 2012: Annoyances at school throughout the year.
Yes, this event is still going on. This year, it's particularly worse, thanks to the introduction of Facebook trolls and the formation of official trolls army. They had been attacking me hard throughout the year, and they had launched at least three catastrophic attacks on me; which are the Valentines Day catastrophe, the April 5th catastrophe, and recently, the infamous December 7th catastrophe. The April 5th event might be the worst amongst these three since it is what ended the long, painful second trolls campaign, and put me into temporary depression mode. The same thing nearly happened with the December 7th catastrophe, but it seems that the situation is stabilizing.
Also throughout this year, I have to fight with four trolls campaign, from the second trolls campaign to the fifth one. All of them were very annoying, and I really hate them. I'm pretty sure that this will inevitably continue into 2013.
Hope that 2013 won't be as annoying as this year!
That's it for now...

Christmas holiday is on! Quick summary of year 11 so far

Hey everyone!
So, term 1 of year 11 is finally over. It's time for holiday at last!
So, throughout term 1 there wasn't that many exciting things, since it's the start of the year.
The main event that spikes up term 1 are concentrated in October and November, with the series starting with the ASDAN trip exploring Bangkok on October 16th, and ends with the Loy Krathong on November 23rd.
Perhaps the best event so far in year 11 is the International Day, taken place on October 19th, and everyone had a lot of fun.
However, throughout this period some bad things did took place; notably the annoyances at school.
This is not something new, and has been going on since at least late 2009. During the first term of year 11, the trolls did managed to launch two trolls campaigns in succession, with the fourth trolls campaign on August 30th, and it was quickly succeeded by the infamous fifth trolls campaign on September 11th.
As time drags on, the situation seems to gradually calm, with little to no annoyances at some point.
However, after I resumed my Ride for Rainbow sponsorship campaign in late November, the situation began to heat up slowly. Then, after my sponsorship campaign ended on Tuesday, on Friday, December 7th, things suddenly changed. The trolls decided to launch their most powerful move, the move that I will label as 'heart breaker tool'. Then, the situation worsened slowly, to the point that I almost have to declare an end to the fifth trolls campaign. Suddenly, just yesterday, it seems that the situation is stabilizing, and at least gave me some hope of regaining control of the situation.
As of today, things are still pretty much like yesterday, but a little bit calmer, thus improving the overall situation a little bit.
As this is now a holiday, the battle with the trolls was suspended. Now, I don't know if the situation will worsen again after the holiday. There's still Valentines Day, which is what I'm fear of, because on that day the trolls might decide to launch their heart breaker tool again, but they might even try to take a step further, and try to force me into depression. I really want to avoid any of those.
That's it for now...

The bad day continues; situation extremely bad

Hey guys;
So, the December 7th catastrophe did continued. It was yesterday where it intensified, and today it intensified even further, putting me at a big disadvantage as I got almost nothing to fight back against the powerful trolls army.
Now, what does this mean is, I'm on the verge of losing the battle against the trolls, and the fifth trolls campaign is coming close to an end, but a terrible one, similar to the end of the second trolls campaign back in April.
Right now, I think there is llittle that I can do, but it is not entirely impossible to change things. I just need to find out how to change things to make the situation more favorable on my side. The catastrophe also shows that my plans to demolish the trolls has failed. The trolls knew exactly what I am going to do, and so they adjusted their move accordingly to make sure my plan fails.
I still remember, a couple of weeks ago things was going well, and my Ride for Rainbow sponsorship campaign had proved quite successful. But it is becoming clear that the campaign was fraudulent. The trolls launch this what I will call the heart breaker tool on Friday, marking the start of the catastrophe, just 3 days after I ended my sponsorship campaign. I think now it has became clear that the campaign was just a fraud created by the trolls, and I am a victim of this fraud inevitably.
Also, the trolls did tried to pressure me to give up. BUT...I WILL NOT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. I WILL NOT LET THIS TROLLS CAMPAIGN END EASILY. I think I need to find out fast how can I change the situation. If nothing works, then I may have to either give up or use force to change the situation.
So, things are extremely bad. I don't know why I am the only one handling this catastrophe!

A very bad day; the trolls intensified; situation is turning against me

Hello!
So, today things suddenly changed. The trolls had resumed their attack, after periods of inactivity.
Now, today's attack campaign is probably one of the worst that I have to cope with. Although it is similar to the one launched on September 28th, which circles around the topic that the girl the trolls said that I like already had a boyfriend. Yes, today they used that scheme, but they take a step further. This time, the trolls had managed to convinced several people, which I think is their associates, to believe the rumor created by the trolls, and sort of attack me with that. And, unlike the first campaign back in September, this time they seemed to make it looked more realistic.
Now, I think today's event shows an attempt to end the fifth trolls campaign, by using the method that will make me lose inevitably. Unlike the ending of the second trolls campaign, this time there is no signs at all that the catastrophe will happen. But at least I am lucky today to avoid the true catastrophe that will push the fifth trolls campaign over the edge.
So, even though it seems that I am losing, but I will not give up. I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE THIS TROLLS CAMPAIGN; I WILL NOT LET IT END WITHOUT A FIGHT. I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF TO WIN; I'M NOT GOING TO BE A LOSER ANYMORE. I WILL FIGHT TO THE VERY LAST MINUTE. I WILL NOT LET THE FIFTH TROLLS CAMPAIGN END EASILY.
Now, what I could do? Well, I cannot let things run its course, I have to take action. But how do I go about it, I don't exactly know. The rumor that the trolls created today might not be true, but there is quite a good chance that the trolls are trying to push the rumor to make it true. Were this to happen, the outcome will probably upset me a lot, and may send me into depression mode, and by then I don't really know where to turn.
That's it that I can think of...; what a bad day today!
Update! I totally forgot about those spies that regularly reads my blog! They had successfully posted the link to this post on the year 11 Facebook group! What a bad luck! Now, I think it's likely that the Friday's event will proceed into tomorrow, and possibly well throughout this week!

Wrap-up of 2012 quarter 4

Hey
So, 2012 is ending within about 26 days. The first term of school is ending within less than 2 weeks. Although I should write this post after the school ends, but I think there would be nothing exciting throughout the remaining school days, so I think it's time to wrap-up the last quarter of 2012.
The event that dominated this quarter is of course the International Day on Friday, October 19th, 2012.
The main thing that makes this event stands out is that I get to work in the team that I wanted to, and everyone worked well together. Most importantly, there were no trolls! And the activity itself was fun; I get the first taste of running a business! Because of this, I am automatically doing one of the ASDAN challenge in module 9 in the process. Luckily that I mentioned this in my ASDAN class earlier that the activity on that day fits into one of the challenges!
Then, along in November, there are a number of events. The event that once again dominates the month was the Loy Krathong on Friday, November 23rd, 2012.
The event was alright, with the dance in the morning that was very fun, and the house competition during lunch time that was also fun to watch. However the afternoon wasn't that exciting as expected. Overall the Loy Krathong this year was very fun and I did like it.
However, throughout this quarter the battle with the trolls are still going on, although they had not really do anything much, other than attacking my blog posts, which is quite weird. I had thoughts of launching operations against the trolls, but they did not made any progress, other than the discovery of some secrets of the trolls, which proved inefficient to use against the trolls.
Now, one thing that I am concern of is the network of spies established by the trolls. Their job is to read my blog on regular bases, checking for new contents that might be usable for annoying me. AND YES, THEY MIGHT BE READING MY BLOG RIGHT NOW!
That's all I can think of at the moment...

Loy Krathong this year; quite fun

Hey!
So, Loy Krathong celebration at my school has finished. I can say this year was quite fun!
To start off, there is an assembly, that lasted for about a single period or two. Then during break there is a Loy Krathong dance, which I can say was amazing!
Then, lunch time came a house competition, I can't remember exactly what it is, but it is like a water fight. After that, sadly enough, there's nothing much interesting, apart from the Thai talent show, the making of the krathongs, the evening assembly and the floating of the krathongs to finish the day off. Sadly, the lessons continued as normal, and also there weren't as many food as there was during the 2010 event.
Overall, I can say that this year's celebration was quite fun, but it seems that it's been downgraded a bit from the 2010 celebration. But the house competition during lunch time and the dance during break time is enough to turn the combined events through November so far into super November!
Oh...some other updates...
Update on the trolls: They are very quiet at the moment, and the overall situation is very calm. Things are going quite smoothly, with very little annoyances.
That's all I got to say at the moment...

Rock climbing today; fun!

Hey!
So, the rock climbing has finally taken place, and I can say it was quite fun, especially when I climbed up high and try to fall. The result is that the string that holds me magically suspended me in the air and sent me in a slow descend which is...so cool! Although if I could climb higher, the descend would be even cooler, but I was too tired to proceed. The climb took place at Racket Club, the same venue that my ASDAN class used for the tennis trip back in September 2011.
Overall, the activity was fun, and I quite liked it.
Also one last thing; some off-topic stuff...
So, update on the trolls: They are pretty quiet, with little to no annoyances. The fifth trolls campaign is still on, but it's just...not that active like during its early days. But the situation can change abruptly, meaning that it flips completely to a different state within a very short period of time, as what had happened briefly last Wednesday. I'm still monitoring the situation, and more updates on this will be posted.
That's all I got to say for today...

How to extract soundtracks from The Sims 2; any expansion pack as MP3 without installing the whole game! And some trolls updates

Hey,
So, if you don't know already, you can extract soundtracks from The Sims 2 game without installing it!
Basically the old method is that you copy the files from the installed directory of the game and rename those 'build', 'buy, 'cas', and 'neighborhood'.package files to .mp3 extension. Well that requires an installation of a program over a gigabyte in size, which is something that you don't want to do, just to get an mp3 file worth a few megabytes.
Let me tell you again, you don't need to install the whole game!
What you need is the complete installation package of The Sims 2; any expansion pack, but not stuff pack! Either downloaded via torrents or an old CD/DVD that you might have lying around.
No matter where you obtain the installation package, the method is the same. If what you have is a CD or DVD, insert it into the DVD drive of your computer. When an auto play window comes up, close it! Same goes for if you downloaded and mounted the iso file!.
If you got a compressed archive package, extract it to somewhere.
Once you are able to access the main installation folder of the game, find the file 'Compressed.zip'. Extract that file to somewhere, and go into TSData\Res\Sound folder. There you will find a bunch of .package files. The ones that you want is the ones with the name 'Build', 'Buy, 'Cas', and 'Neighborhood'. These are the main soundtracks of the game! Simply rename them to .mp3 and voila! You've extracted soundtracks from The Sims 2 in its original quality! Now you can use it for anything E.G for your rington (requires further editing) or for one of the songs in your movie projects!
Although some of you may argue that you can download soundtrack video clips from Youtube, but these are often with a modified sound quality, and so is no longer original, in other words, those you get from Youtube may not have the same quality as the ones extracted directly from the game, since those that you extracted from the game will be exactly what you will hear while playing the game, although the drawback to this is that if you no longer have the installation media, you will have to download everything again, which can be a waste of space and time and if you have a low hard drive space, then you may have to rely on Youtube videos, which like I said may not have the same sound quality as the ones you extracted from the game.
Now, on to the trolls update
Well, today I can say that right away in the morning the situation suddenly turned around; the morning today was like the situation has flipped completely to a different state within a matter of a single day of me being absent!
Basically their attack scheme is pretty typical; they attacked my blog posts as usual, and I find it quite weird, but that really puts me on alert that spies are always reading my blog when I am not aware. In fact, there is likely chance that the trolls are discussing about this yesterday when I am absent! And this very same thing might happen again on Friday and next Tuesday! Although eventually the situation calmed down and by day end things were pretty much back to normal.
Actually, I really want to demolish those spies that constantly reads my blog posts and use them to attack me groundlessly, because they're very annoying, but I don't know how to just go about that.
That's it for now...

Some exciting events are approaching and some trolls updates

Hello!
So, it's November, and there are some exciting things that will be taking place.
Most importantly, just today, my ASDAN class has planned another ASDAN trip, expected to take place on Thursday, November 15th. We planned to go to do the rock climbing as part of a challenge in module 3, which I can say...is quite exciting!
Next up, after that trip, comes Loy Krathong on Friday, November 23rd. Yes, it's going to take place for sure, as there is no floods like last year.
Also, throughout next week at school there will be a 'Rainbow Rock' concert, in which bands will perform. I think it seems to act like a kind of a feeder event. In fact, the concert, the ASDAN trip, and the Loy Krathong are only about a week apart!
Together, the 2 main events and a feeder event next week would certainly make November of 2012 very fun and exciting, and together they could even compete with the October events and Sports Day! But if I combine these 3 events, that means that the slot for the fourth and fifth best event will remain empty, although this can be avoided by pushing Songkran downwards, thus reserving the slot for the third best event for the October events, and also the fourth slot for the 3 events of November. This would make the arrangement of the best events completed, leaving with only the 5 worst events to work with.
So, there's some events already on the table, with the feeder event taking place right next week.
Now, on to the trolls updates. After that burst of several rumors relating to the trolls a few days back, it had gone quiet as I suspect, and it seems that the situation is returning to the state it was in right before half term holiday. Now, the trolls might heat up again, but it seems that the situation is pretty calm, unless that rumor pops up and strengthen again. Although that would benefit me, but if the trolls are mad they could use desperate measures to attack me.
That's it for now...

Another change; new wave of instability is underway for the trolls

Hey!
Right, already the first day of school things are already taking on quite wildly.
First off, during lunch time today, someone in year 11 has created a rumor that one of the trolls, and it happens to be the leader of the trolls, likes a boy in year 11. I cannot say whether it is true or false, but if many people are talking about it it is likely that it is true.
So, this means that this rumor, if it grow stronger, may evolve into a spark inside the trolls. If I can turn the spark into a fire, that will destabilize the trolls, and may eventually cause the trolls to collapse, bringing the fifth trolls campaign to an end. This shows that sometimes I don't have to do much in order to weaken the trolls.
Now, there is one thing that I am concern about. Most importantly this may last for only a day or two, effectively rendering this rumor useless, but instead the trolls might use this chance to either launch full scale attack on me or start the sixth trolls campaign, effectively worsening the situation. Or, if I'm lucky, this might eventually calm down and return to the state it was in before half term holiday.
So, I can say that what happened today at least bring me some power to demolish the trolls. For what I'll do next, I will support this rumor, and hopefully turn this rumor into an OAT campaign, and go straight into full scale attack against the trolls.
Or, if this move seems too risky due to the possibility of a full scale attack against me and the possible eruption of the sixth trolls campaign, I could choose to do nothing instead, and let those who created the rumor deal with the trolls themselves. And if the trolls turn to troll that person who created the rumor, I can be happy that they will not troll me for a while.
That's it for now...

Half term holiday has ended

Hey guys;
So, the half term holiday is finally drawing to a close, with school starting on the upcoming Monday. From what I've heard, there are some exciting events, but the main one was Loy Katong, to be held by the end of November, and I can be sure that it will commence, because unlike last year, this year there is no flood problem, and I heard that it might be bigger than 2010, to compensate for last year's flood. But I think there's still going to be normal lessons, but...who knows; things might change in the last minute.
And of course, there might be occasional ASDAN trips, as usal, since in ASDAN some challenges can only be done outside school.
So far, out of all ASDAN activities, the International Day 2012 was the only one school-hosted activity that is directly linked to a particular ASDAN challenge. Actually the trip that the IGCSE Art student went in March and the trip that the PE GCSE students recently went could be accounted to an ASDAN challenge as well, but sadly I did not consider that. Even an IGCSE Geography residential trip that the Geography students went in June could even be linked to an ASDAN challenge! But there might be more, and in some cases some of the IGCSE trips of some subjects that I don't do can be linked to a particular ASDAN challenge, allowing me to go on the trip.
But that depends on whether a suitable challenge can be linked to a particular trip. For example the International Day can be linked to an ASDAN challenge because one of the challenge is to run a business and write report about it, which is exactly what the year 11 students have just done!
So far, I think the number of ASDAN trips in 2012 is the biggest of all. Although 2011 could be bigger, but sadly it was cut short because of the floods.
That's it for now...

This music video has over 500 million viewers!

PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일) M/V
Yeah, you know it already, it's Gangnam Style! This video has over 500 million views! If you want to download the song, you can either buy it from iTunes (just $1.25), or if you are like me that doesn't want to spend money you can try searching, although the quality of the MP3 you got from the web may not be as good as you desire. I got this song by searching, and it did not take me too long to get me the one with perfect sound quality. But for you guys, I think it is worth it to buy, and it is cheap as well.
So, my advice: Buy it from iTunes or download it from somewhere from the web, it's up to you, although you will be sure to get a perfect quality copy if you buy it from iTunes.

Some update on trolls situation and updates on my earlier choices

Hello once again;
So, after thinking about this, I think the best, and probably the easiest way to delt with trolls, is to form an OAT, not with year 11 students as the main core, but with some other students like those from year 10 as the main core, with the year 11 students as an extension bit. This may work better than using year 11 students entirely or as a main core members.
However, this may mean that I have to trade with the possible eruption of the sixth trolls campaign, which if the trolls were to be reading this now, this could happen as soon as the Monday after this half term holiday, although I can be happy that they will not be able to do much, especially if they decided to pick on one of the new girls in year 10 or younger years as a subject to annoy me with. But there is also a possibility that the trolls will do the same, and form a trolls network into those respective years, effectively ending my hope of winning the troll war, worsening the situation beyond that of April 5th, and may put me into another depression mode, this time it may last throughout the remainder of year 11. This is something that I am extremely scare of, and once again it could happen as soon as the Monday after this half term holiday, although if I try to be quiet or discuss this only with some more trustworthy people, this catastrophe will not happen.
So, I think I am quite certain of my next move. I think my next move is to try to form an OAT network with some maybe year 9 or 10 students, and of course some year 11 students. Although this may bring me greater success rate, but if the trolls are fully aware of my new plans, the outcome can be catastrophic, especially if they were to be reading this post right now!
That's it for now guys;

My first Chrome theme

Hello everyone!
After using Google Chrome for a while, I had decided to try to create my own theme. So here it is.
Get theme
I based this theme on the Metro concept of Windows 8. The new tab wallpaper is the clean, Windows 8 start screen-like background. In fact the image was actually a crop from the screenshot I took from my Windows 8 virtual machine. Too bad I cannot match the colors of the toolbars, otherwise the theme might have looked better.
Hope you like it, and this is my first ever theme, so feedback or improvement is always welcome.

International Day today; so awesome!

Hey!
So, the long awaited International Day was over at last, and I can say...it was awesome! It was the best International Day yet that I had ever seen at STA!
So, start off as usual, with the parades and the assembly and the international performances.
After break, this is where the real day starts. Me and my group began work on the service to offer to students. It wasn't as bad as some rumors previously speculated, and I loved it!
There were about 7 people in my group, and everyone worked very well. We chose to offer a basketball game, for a price of anywhere between 10 and 20 baht, although I did see some people willing to pay 100 baht or more, since the price is not fixed. It was very fun, and my group made a total profit of 1565 baht! Although we did not win though, since there is one group with a profit of over 2000 baht.
After lunch, we began the apprentice. This is where the judges interview us and asked everyone some questions. Again, my group did not win, but still the day was very good.
The day ended very good. I did get to use some services and bought some of the products, like a Thailand flag badge which costs 30 baht, and nail painting which costs 20 baht. Oh there is also a juice shop that sells juice and they tasted good! The juice was only 20 baht each, and a football game that costs 20 baht, and I did won a candy!
So, the day was very good, and I think this year's International Day could compete with Songkran. If I combine this event with the ASDAN trip on Tuesday, together the combined event could compete with the Sports Day to become the second best event of the year!
That's it for now...

Some considurations on plans to demolish the trolls

Hello;
So, thinking over of what happened so far, I think it seems that my move of simply accepting rumors that I like some girls may not work, but may instead make the trolls even stronger.
Although the chance of that happening as a result of me accepting the rumor is small, but the probability is still not 0%; so there's small chance that it could happens.
Now, what I had just come up is to go into the so called 'Denial mode', where I rejects all rumors and simply say that I don't like anyone. That may work, and may even proved more successful than my current move.
However, that option may only be usable for the new trolls campaign, which is not the case for the current situation. The fifth trolls campaign had been around for roughly a month now, and if I was to switch into denial mode, the trolls may still try to reject my words and keep insisting on what I have previously said.
This means that I may have to forcefully suppress the fifth trolls campaign, with whatever method I can think of, and try to get them into starting the sixth trolls campaign. Also, another thing that is in my concern is that the girl the trolls was saying that I like is a friend of one of the trolls member. This means that the trolls already have something to use against me should the situation turns desperate on their side. Although I could accelerate my move to form relationship with the girl the trolls was saying that I like, but I think the trolls may have already aware that I plan to do something like that in order to form an OAT, put huge stress on the trolls, and cause them to be embroiled in series of internal conflicts, and eventually collapses, and they may try to ensure that my move fails, no matter what I do. This means that I may have to reconsider my action, and may even have to change my plans completely.
I know, I did knew some secrets of the trolls, and could exploit them, but the fact is, I am doing this entirely alone, without any support since the OAT is not up yet. If I have to change my plans, like what I said I could go into denial mode, denying all rumors that I like some girls.
Oh, another method that I can think of, is to use the current trolls campaign or the new one as a proxy, in order to attack the trolls. But one big problem is that the trolls may try to dig up dead trolls campaigns like the second and the third trolls campaign. The possibility of a second trolls campaign comeback is what I am fear of the most, since the girl that the trolls once used may come back to visit STA. This is already enough to motivate the trolls to dig up the second trolls campaign, and this may go on for a while.
Or, I could just ignore the trolls, and let things run its course. This means that I am pretty much cease my involvement with this topic, or in a shorter word, give up. Although this may seem silly, but it is the final option that from what I've heard will always work. If I decided to go this path, the topic of me liking a girl may eventually cool down and disappear, marking the end of the fifth trolls campaign and the end of the long, hard battle with the trolls.
So, there's quite a few options to choose from, all of which will decide the future situation. All options did have some drawbacks and advantages over the others.
So, it's quite a long post, as this is another time that I have to make some changes to my plans to demolish the trolls and select the best option, which means that I have to analyse each of them before making a choice.
That's it for now;

Some new thoughts on forming an OAT

Hey!
So, I think I had a new and might be a more successful idea on forming an OAT (organization against trolls).
The idea is, if forming the OAT with only year 11 students is difficult to impossible, then I am considering teaming up with other high school students like those in year 8, 9 or 10; and form an OAT that way. The good thing is, it would be difficult for the trolls to interfere, since the trolls won't be able to meet some of the then OAT members or even do anything with them.
If this was allowed to proceed uninterrupted, then the OAT would gradually expand. By then I could try to exploit the weakness of the trolls in order to launch full scale attacks and cause them to be embroiled in series of internal conflicts that will break them apart and causes the trolls army to collapse and I would have won, marking the end of the fifth trolls campaign.
However, since often or not these candidates for the OAT includes some new girls, my immediate concern is that the trolls might find out and launch the sixth trolls campaign. That is something that really worries me right now, especially if they might be reading this post. But at least they got no chance during lessons to annoy me, so even if they managed to get the sixth trolls campaign up, it won't have much affect on me.
But, if I continues to try to build an OAT only using people from year 11, I may have difficulties since the trolls can try to force everyone into their side, thus putting me at a big disadvantage. Although they could do the same with other year group, the chance of this is small since they rarely have any chance to meet up with other year groups, apart from during assemblies.
So, to summarize, I think I will just do both, with my primary focus on trying to get people in year 11 into my OAT. If that option fails or faces little success, at least my newly proposed option may work better and may result in a strong OAT in the end.
That's it for now...

Today's trip; very good

Hello!
So, the trip was completed at last, the so call ASDAN exploring Bangkok via rail trip! There are several changes to the plan. Most notably, I had decided to cancel the trip on the Airport Link line and completely explore the Bangkok Metro, because time is limited and I got to get back to school by the last 2 periods. But at least I did covered major areas, and most importantly, the Victory Monument.
So, what I had discovered: 1 important thing that I found out is that lifestyle tends to change along the rapid transit lines. I started off near my school in the Phra Khanong area. It was a lifestyle typical of an urban community, with small street venders selling things like food. Also, high-rise buildings like condominiums sprung up along the BTS Sukhumvit Line. The BTS was as busy as ever, since it was during the rush hour when I get there; I have to wait for the second train! And the problem did not end there; there was little space for me to stand once I get on to the second train!
As I rode through, I can see that the buildings changed. Somewhere near Siam Station, which lies in the city center, most buildings seem to be mainly office buildings and shopping malls. When I arrived at Mo Chit station, the end of the Sukhumvit line, I noticed a large parking area, which I can assume is used by people to park their car from the suburbs. People chose to travel by BTS instead of driving due to poor trafic condition in the city center.
As I rode all the way to Bearing station, I noticed that I am then out in the suburban area of Bangkok, with green fields, which shows that the area, although now reachable by BTS, is not fully developed, but this may change since the extension to Bearing was opened just last year.
For the last part of my journey, I went to Saphan Taksin station of the Silom Line. The unique feature is that there were only 1 track, which caused problems since only 1 train can arrive at a given direction at 1 time. Since the frequency cannot be increased, I think this is why Silom Line had converted to 4-car trains, although Sukhumvit Line is doing the same due to heavy congestion.
The journey concluded when I have lunch at Terminal Twenty-one, a shopping mall in Asok. I ate some fried chickens and rice. It did rained, which is a bit of a problem, but I was lucky to get a taxi back to school.
Overall, today's journey was fun, since I get to see how lifestyle changes in different areas of Bangkok, from green fields in the suburbs to tall buildings and shopping malls in the city center. So far it was a great experience, I must say.
That's it for now...

This week's gonna be cool

Hey guys;
So, as this is the last week before half term holiday, there are many things that are happening.
First of all, about the ASDAN trip tomorrow; it is confirmed. I'm going out tomorrow on what I will call it exploring Bangkok via rail, which means I am only traveling on train (rapid transit systems of course). This is for one of the challenge in module 9, which is to use a digital camera to produce images, and this might be linked to my research project earlier as well, so this could be considered the field research part of that project, where I went out to take photos and videos of the rapid transit systems. Even though this is an individual activity, but it is still exciting.
Also, after this, there's the International Day 2012 on Friday. It's gonna be exciting, although recently I heard some bad rumors about the activity that will cause me and the rest of year 11 to miss the amazing international lunch. I'm not sure whether this is true or not, but I'm sure no one will miss the amazing international lunch on Friday. If tomorrow's trip and the International Day turns out very good, I may combine them into 1 event, since they're only 3 days apart. If that happens, the combined event could go up to become the fourth best event of the year. However even without the combination of these 2 events, they may be featured on the list of the 5 best events of 2012 anyway, but there's still the long-awaited Loy Katong 2012 to consider, and I heard that it will be big, so yeah...I can't really decide, but like I said to make things easier I may combine tomorrow's trip and the International Day on Friday into 1 single event, thus saving 1 slot for the Loy Katong event in November.
So, great stuffs are slowly happening guys, and I'm very excited for these 3 events.

A very good day; the start of my very own first trolls campaign (aka first trolls revenge campaign)

Hey guys!
So, today it finally happens. I finally discovered a whole in the extension bit of the trolls army, which is the fact that one student in my ASDAN class likes a new girl in year 11. Although he continues to deny this rumor, still I think it is true. Immediately I was able to turn this rumor into something wonderful, that is my very own first trolls campaign, or the first trolls revenge campaign!
At first, I thought as putting it as the sixth trolls campaign, but thinking over what happened today it seems that the events today does not fit in the category of typical trolls campaign, since typical trolls campaign had a purpose to attack me, but this one is designed to attack one of the troll in the extension bit of the trolls army.
Now, this is a very positive thing, and makes the overall situation felt much better that now I get a chance to revenge. And the amazing fact is, the trolls seem to be supporting this new trolls campaign as well, so that means I got a temporary army.
However, this only affects the extension part of the trolls army, and if the trolls want, they can turn against me any forcefully ending my trolls revenge campaign, turning the overall situation against me.
So, what I can do now is to use this chance and launch a full scale attack on the trolls, eventually causing them to become locked up in series internal conflicts and eventually lead to the collapse of the trolls and the end of the fifth trolls campaign. However the big problem is that this is just...a chance that I even get to do this, and not counting the trolls, I am currently doing this alone, and that means that my chance of success is not too high. Thus that means that I need to form a basic OAT army, before I can launch a full scale attack, because although I may be able to use the trolls to take down one of its extension, but then the trolls would have nothing to take down, and will turn to take me out instead.
So, considering the possible problems, I would say, in conclusion, that the situation right now is unstable. Tomorrow I got Chemistry, and the trolls can change the situation to be even worse for me if they so desire. I still cannot say that today's event represents a big step forward in my plans to demolish the trolls, since this first trolls revenge may be temporary, and if it was forcefully ended, there might not be a second one to replace it, and I think there's a small chance that the main members of the trolls army may use this as a proxy to launch even more attacks on me, or even worse, to launch a full scale, maximum mode attack on me!
So far, things seem to be going on my side.

Some exciting events coming up

Hey guys,
So, as the first half of term 1 is approaching its end, there are some exciting events going on. Mainly there is only 1; the International Day.
Yeah, normally year 11 is excluded, but this year there is a change. This year we year 11 get to do some fun activities yea! I would say that...this is wonderful and because of this, the International Day of 2012 could be featured amongst the best events of the year!
Also, in ASDAN I heard that another trip is being organized, but unlike the previous one, this one is an individual trip, meaning that I am going out alone, but the trip I've heard of is quite fun. As part of a research project for one of the challenge in module 9, which I am researching on the rapid transit systems in Bangkok, I actually got a chance to go and explore the entire network!
Because of this, I will name this trip 'Exploring Bangkok via rail', since I will only be travelling on trains. Basically what I've heard is that I may do a research, taking photographs and videos, across the 4 rapid transit systems in Bangkok: The BTS Sukhumvit Line, the BTS Silom Line, the MRT Blue Line, and the Airport Rail Link. It's quite exciting, but I'm not sure when this will actually take place; maybe next week or after half term, I still don't know. But whenever I have more information I will post an update.
That's it for now...

Timeline of trolls campaigns

Hey guys,
So, after I've posted the earlier version, today I had decided to post a new version, since many things had taken place since the last time I posted the timeline.
Basically the concept is the same; new trolls campaign starts when the trolls find out the new girl that I may like or the girl the trolls was using for the current trolls campaign leaves STA. Like the previous one, they will be groupped into campaigns.
So here's the timeline...
Early high school trolls: Late 2008 to mid 2009
The first form of trolls, back then called 'bullies', that I encountered in high school was back in year 7, before I move to STA. Unlike today's trolls, they use physical methods to hurt me, or sometimes say something bad about me that makes me feel annoyed. Also, there were times when they used the subject of me liking a girl, which I think is the base of what became the current subject of today's trolls. It ended in mid 2009 when I finally moved to ST. Andrews International School of Bangkok.
First trolls campaign: Late 2009 to mid 2010
My new life at STA seems to start good, with many people helping me getting started in the new environment. However, if I remember correctly, after half-term break in October the first trolls campaign finally emerges, on the subject of me liking a new girl in year 8 at that time. This is the founding of the today's trolls. Although it is classed as a trolls campaign, but at that time work seems to be scattered and there was no fixed group of trolls (I.E members are always on the change). The first trolls campaign is not too bad, even during its peak when I ordered a Valentine rose to the girl that the trolls claimed that I like back then. It ended along the end of year 8 in mid 2010.
Second trolls campaign: Late 2010 to April 5th, 2012
After the summer holiday, with the arrival of year 9 also came the arrival of a batch of new students, sadly enough 2 of them are my old friends from my old school. And the trolls had managed to used one of them as a subject to annoy me. This tension started during the last few weeks of year 8; it was in year 9 when it evolved into the long and painful second trolls campaign. The year 9 period wasn't too bad, but worse than year 8, thanks to the 21 January 2011 event when I mistakenly posted on Facebook that I bought something from Chiang Mai during the New Year trip for the girl that the trolls claimed that I like back then; the fact is I mistakenly called her 'girlfriend'. But tension eventually eases throughout year 9, but unlike the first trolls campaign, it did not end when year 9 ended; but instead continued into year 10.
The year 10 period is the last half of the second trolls campaign, and is the worst, especially during its peak in February this year when I ordered a chocolate for the girl the trolls claimed that I like back then and also my posts on her wall. At this time the trolls had also unified into a fixed group and started trolling me on Facebook. Unlike the year 9 period, the tension did not ease easily, and the trolls had managed to kick off an attack by commenting on one of my post on the girl's wall in bulk (more than 20 comments within a few seconds!). After that, the situation worsened slowly, and eventually on April 5th, 2012 the second trolls campaign finally ended with me losing the fight. The Songkran celebration on the next day did made me feel better, but not totally.
Third trolls campaign: May 23rd, 2012 to August 30th, 2012
After Songkran holiday, there were about 4 weeks in which I have to deal with the aftermath of the second trolls campaign, but at least they were not too bad. However immediately after I made a wall post on one of the girl's wall in year 10, tension suddenly built up, and the next day, on May 23rd, 2012 it suddenly evolves into the third trolls campaign. Luckily the exams week that follows did helped to stop the trolls. This trolls campaign reached its peak around June 6th when the trolls threatened to launch a troll war on June 8th. However it did not really happened, and the tension slowly eases. However, without a conclusion, the third trolls campaign suddenly ended on August 30th, 2012.
Fourth trolls campaign: August 30th, 2012 to September 11th, 2012
Like year 9, as year 11 arrives also came a batch of new students, although the batch seems to be smaller. However just 4 days into year 11, one student went as far as to create a rumor that I like one of the new girl in year 11; and it quickly evolved into the fourth trolls campaign. Unlike the first, the second and the third trolls campaign, the trolls did not have a chance to annoy me to the maximum, because the lifetime of this trolls campaign was cut short on September 11th, 2012 when a new trolls campaign breaks out. Even though this trolls campaign is short, but it is still annoying, but not as bad as the second and third trolls campaign.
Fifth trolls campaign: September 11th, 2012 to now
Although year 11 was still in its early days, but the trolls had managed to forcefully start a new trolls campaign. Like the fourth trolls campaign, the girl used was a new student. However this one is different in the fact that she's in my tutor group and my Chemistry class. This means that the trolls already have some good chances to annoy me. I'm not sure if this is directly linked to my personal targets that I set during PHSE lesson on September 7th, but there is a chance that the trolls may have known about this and they randomly select one of the new girls. Currently they did not annoy me to the maximum, and the situation is very calm at the moment, but things can change very suddenly and that's what I am scared of.
In conclusion, as you can see, there are at least 5 trolls campaigns so far that I faced in high school. However on September 28th the trolls did managed to try to start the sixth trolls campaign, but luckily the attempt failed. I can say that was very lucky!
That's it for now...

Updates on what's going on

Hello!
So, since my last post on updates, there had been some more updates.
First, the update on trolls. Once again they went back to be very calm and the situation is quite good as of today. Like what I said I think they seems to lack motivation to annoy me, since there's little progress in terms of relationship between me and the girl the trolls said that I like. Also, this rumor may have now become too obvious, since I remember I did admitted that I liked the girl the trolls was talking about, so this has resulted in the trolls stop talking about this topic.
Second, a while ago I had stumbled upon one headline on BBC News. The news story is that, Facebook had now reached over 1 billion users worldwide, which accounts to about 14.3% of the world population of 7 billion people. The figure is quite low, in relation to the world population. But in relation to the total number of users who have internet access, the 1 billion figure could worth a higher percentage.
Third, updates on software. From what I've noticed, the development of software packages that I had been following is not quite active. For example FluxBB, a forum software, still have no update, even though 11.5.1 update should be out by now. Also another odd thing is, Jaws for Windows, remains at version 13.0; usually at this time of the year version 14 should be close to release already.
Fourth and probably the last, is the storm that is heading for Thailand. From what I've watched on the news, the storm is heading very slowly. But since I believe it is still out at sea, there's small chance that it could develop into a typhoon, and accelerate the rate in which it moves. If that was to happen, I think the situation could be catastrophic if the storm moves quickly enough to hit Thailand in either a form of typhoon or tropical storm. Or on the other hand, according to the latest news report, the storm may move too slowly to have big impact on Thailand, although the situation is uncertain, and things can change rapidly.
So, as you can see 4 updates in a single post. I can say this is the post that contains most updates, from what I remember.
Also back to the topic on trolls: Now I can feel relaxed that the situation has calmed down a lot, and I may even say it's safe now to put down my guard. I am not really worry about the Chemistry lesson tomorrow, since I'm very confident that the trolls will not launch an attack. Same for PHSE tomorrow, since it seems that the trolls are unlikely to launch an attack.
That's it for now...

Brief summary of 2012 so far

Hey everyone,
Alright, 2012 is ending within 3 months. So far the world has gone through many events, from fun events like the Olympics and the Euro Cup to sad events like the death of important or famous individuals, however there's still 3 more months that the world has to go through.
For me personally, so far in 2012 I had gone through many events, all of which cause changes in my emotion and make 2012 not too boring, from fun events like the year 10 residential trip in January and the Sports Day in February, to difficult times like the exam season in May, to sad and annoying moments caused by no one else but groups of my friends called 'Trolls'. There's still 3 more months, and more things are expected. By the end of the year, I would have gone through even more events.
So, here is a rough summary of the events. Currently I would only list the 3 confirmed best events, and 1 confirmed worst event of the year. By December, when I write the full wrap-up summary, the 5 best and worst events will be listed, as per previous years.
Best event: Year 10 residential trip to Rayong
This is certainly the best event of any kind, and is also the best residential trip I have yet in high school. The activities were very fun and exciting, like walking through the mangrove swamp and the party on the 4th day of the trip. It was a very good time, and I really like it.
Second best event: Sports Day 2012
This event was also very good, if not better. The activity was good, and I still enjoy it. Sadly I missed a chance to grab my last medal for high school.
Third best event: Songkran 2012
This event is special. Previously I only write about the celebration at school, but this year the trip to Pran Buri was too fun to not write about, so I decided to wrap them up into 1 event. The celebration at school was very fun, particularly at the end of the day where everyone splashed water at each other. The Pran Buri trip was good, and I like it.
Now on to the worst event section...
Worst event of the year at the moment: Annoyances caused by the trolls
Yeah, let's face it. The trolls are very annoying so far throughout the year, especially with the introduction of Facebook trolls early in the year. So far the trolls had managed to attack me with at least 4 trolls campaigns, starting from the second trolls campaign to the current fifth trolls campaign. Just yesterday, they had even attempted to start the sixth trolls campaign! But luckily I was able to stop it, but I don't know what will happen on the upcoming Monday. Early in the year, the trolls had even went as far as to force me into temporary depression mode by ending the second trolls campaign in what I called a dreadful way, which created a gap period of up to 4 weeks! And after that they had successfully started at least 3 more trolls campaigns starting from May 23rd with the introduction of the third trolls campaign to September 11th with the introduction of the fifth trolls campaign.
Since there's still 3 more months, these positions will change. The fourth and the fifth best events, and the rest of the worst events are still in consideration, and by the end of the year I will have them ready.
That's it for now guys...

Situation began to turn around; things quite bad

Hey...what's up?
So, yesterday was all right calm and good, today is...like the situation has flipped completely to the opposite side. The trolls did managed to kick off some attacks that make me mad. The most obvious one is the failed attempt to start the sixth trolls campaign, which I can say that...I'm glad that I was able to suppress the attempt before it breaks out. But the attack occurred during lunch time, and so it could be too fast to conclude that the attempt to start the sixth trolls campaign has failed.
Also, they seems to be attacking me on the subject something along the line that the girl that the trolls are currently using had a boyfriend already...to be honest I don't really believe them, as they're mostly unreliable statements that were designed to make me depress throughout my life at STA, and I knew it well that these kinds of attempts are underway, and it did at last. But there's some small chance that what the trolls had said is true, and that's what I'm really scared of, because this may be the forewarning/foreshadow that events similar to the one on April 5th could occur again in the near future.
Now, if this is relating to relationships then I think I need to seriously accelerate my progress with the first option described in my earlier posts, and change my relationship status on Facebook. This method will ensure that the trolls cannot start the new trolls campaign, and will secure my chance of forming a good OAT team.
However, I think, if worst comes to worst, I may have to use force as a method to form an OAT, or do what ever I can to forcefully suppress the trolls, probably by going into super extreme rage mode. If I do this, then teachers will eventually have to interfere and forcefully suppress the trolls.
So, overall the situation is turning against me. It was very sudden, as yesterday I thought the situation is going very well. Today clearly shows that it is not and my prediction that the trolls might annoy me when I'm not expecting is correct! Luckily that this takes place on a Friday, that means that I don't have to worry about the next day. But Monday is what worries me. Although it seems that the attempt to start the sixth trolls campaign has failed, there is a chance that the trolls might try again once more and they might succeed, worsening the situation.
All I can do now is hope for the best, and take action when worst comes to worst.

Update on the current trolls situation

Hello guys,
So, from watching the trolls I can say that the situation at the moment is very calm. The trolls didn't annoy me that much. Although they did annoy me, but not at a level like before. Before, I have to always be aware of vulnerable subjects, but now I can put down my guard. I can almost say that the fifth trolls campaign has pretty much folded, but still some people sill annoy me with that, so the fifth trolls campaign is not absolutely dead.
I guess the main reason for why the trolls stopped annoying me is that they may lack motivation to do so, which is very good, or maybe my rage over the lst few weeks may have stopped them. If that is true, then...I would say...wow. That will just shows that my extreme rage was able to stop the trolls.
Now, the only way to check that the trolls are really dead, is to test them. There are several methods. The first method is to encourage them to start trolling me again by telling them right face-to-face, the second method is to post on Facebook, tag them, and announce that I am ready to be trolled, or...proceed with my first option describe in my earlier post and change my relationship status on Facebook. Either one of these should be enough to motivate them.
However, the big drawback is, once the trolls get motivated, this time they may not stop, even if I go into another extreme rage mode. That can be very bad, and will turn around the situation immediately. If this was allowed to continue uninterrupted, the result is a huge trolls war, and I could end up losing again.
Or, what I could really do is to proceed with my first option straight away and form an OAT. If the OAT is in operation, then I could try to spark the trolls. This is like luring them to attack me and then I could counter-troll them back and cause internal conflicts between the trolls, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the trolls and I will be the winner.
So, once again, I had reached the point that I am faced with 2 choices, in which both will shape the situation. I don't really know which choice to make, although the choice of proceeding with the formation of the OAT may seems safest, but the process can be time-consuming. Actually I could try to motivate those that are not too active in the trolls army, but if I do so those people may tell the main trolls army to start trolling me excessively, turning around the situation. I still have to decide which path to take, so this decision is not final yet.
So far, the situation is pretty good, and things seem to be going on my side.

Some thoughts on the troll campaigns

Hey guys,
So, after looking back at my conversation history that had been recorded throughout much of 2012 and some from 2011, something had just come up into my head. Although they include conversations from the date where the second trolls campaign ends, I don't want to read them through mainly because some of the logs are very long and the conversations surrounding April 5th will just make me feel bad about my defeat.
So, I had come up with something in my head. The thing is, so far out of the 5 troll campaigns only the second trolls campaign had a real reason for its end, while the first, the third, and the fourth had no real reason for it to end. The third and the fourth trolls campaign is what I want to mention the most.
The reason for the second trolls campaign to end is the girl that the trolls were using back then left STA. After that there were 4 weeks gap before the third trolls campaign started.
But, here is the main point. The third trolls campaign suddenly ended on August 30th, 2012 where it was immediately replaced by the fourth one. The strange thing is, nothing happened to the girl the trolls were using for the third trolls campaign. She didn't leave or anything, the third trolls campaign just ended in a way that I would say from an influence of a fake rumor that evolved into the fourth trolls campaign.
So, the fourth trolls campaign has started, but within less than 2 weeks it suddenly ended, being replaced immediately by the fifth one; the current trolls campaign. Once again, the strange thing is that nothing has happened to the girl that the trolls used. It's just ended without real reason, although the truth is that I want it to end anyway because the girl the trolls used was someone I don't even know or talk to.
So now the fifth trolls campaign has survived for roughly 2 weeks. If it was to end in the future, I want a real reason for its end. But actually, if I can lengthen the life of this trolls campaign it would be better, and that's what I am going to do. Like what I've posted earlier, I am going to execute my first option to form an OAT and defeat the trolls. Of course, I will use the so called 'Power of relationships' as a tool to form an OAT. You can read more about my first option in my earlier posts, just scroll down to find it.
If I was successful, then that will bring a good end to the fifth trolls campaign, because by then I would be happy with the outcome. But year 11 is short, so I need to make sure that the trolls are defeated before the end of term 2. Although the battle can continue into year 12, I'm not sure if I and the girl that the trolls are using are staying. So to make sure that I will be happy I want to finish the trolls fast, right before the end of term 2. That means that I need to have a working OAT by the end of term 1, so I can spend term 2 battling the trolls.
That's it for now...

Some analysis of the current situation and some other updates

Hello guys,
So, recently the trolls are still laying out the new fifth trolls campaign, which started last Tuesday. So far I can say the pattern of annoyances are difficult to detect, as some days are very annoying while some days they did not annoy me at all, or annoy me very little. I guest they either become bored or lack motivation to do so, since not many people had known about it yet.
But, over the past few days there seems to be a change. Those trolls that lacked motivation to take the fifth trolls campaign seems to resort to the older third and fourth trolls campaign to annoy me, which had never happened before. Previously, these trolls would take into effect the new trolls campaign immediately, but it seems that the fifth trolls campaign did not motivate them enough.
Now, I can say that can be either good or bad. The good thing is that less people will talk about me liking a new girl who is in my tutor group and Chemistry class, but the bad thing is that I now have to deal with 2 or more troll campaigns. That can be very bad.
Now, what I can do is try to force the remaining trolls to use the fifth trolls campaign and abandon the older one. This can be done by simply accepting the rumor that I like the new girl. If I just accept this rumor, then I think that would be enough to motivate the remaining trolls to start using this new trolls campaign.
If that is successful, then what I planned to do next is to proceed with my first option described earlier, which is to form relationships with the new girl and some more people to form an OAT. With this method, I can increase my strength and then I will be able to demolish the trolls.
So, how would I demolish the trolls? Well I, along with the then united OAT will try to spark internal conflicts amongst the trolls. This would make them no longer reconcile and they will eventually collapse, bringing an end to the fifth trolls campaign.
But, there can be problems. The main problem is that this is assume that things will go smoothly as I expected. However things don't usually go as smooth, and if situation suddenly change, that may mean that I have to modify my plans. Also, the girl that the troll had used during the second trolls campaign may come back to visit STA. If this was to happen, then that would be enough to spark the remaining hardcore members of the now dead second trolls campaign to wake up and try to attack me with that. That can be very bad, as that will be very unexpected and if these people have enough power, they may forcefully end the fifth trolls campaign and install the second one instead, and that is not something that I want to see happening, because it reminds me of the terrible day where this trolls campaign ends and that just makes me feel bad that I lose badly to the second trolls campaign.
But, I think the problem of a possible comeback of the second trolls campaign can be resolved by me forming good relationship with the new girl that the trolls are currently using right now to the point that relationship status on Facebook could be changed. Once that happens and if it happens when the old second trolls campaign is out, that would create a battle between these 2 troll campaigns, and 1 of them have to lose out, which will be the second trolls campaign, since the remaining hardcore members got no defense, whereas the fifth trolls campaign then will have my Facebook relationship status as a defense.
So, I think I will just do according to this plan, since it's the best way to demolish the trolls. I only need to hope that the trolls did not try to dig up old, dead troll campaigns, especially the second one, but like what I said above things can change. The girl that the trolls once used could come back to visit and that will awake the remaining hardcore members. Or, if I'm lucky, those people may have already forgotten about it, meaning that a visit from the girl that was once used to annoy me is meaningless.
Now, on to some other stuff. So, iOS 6 is finally out, and I've just updated today. Although it was out yesterday, due to the differences in time I need to wait until today afternoon (Thailand time) to update my iPod Touch.
So, what's new? Well Facebook intigration, which what I love, the ability to share photos to Facebook via Camera is also a cool feature, and Pass Book which is also nice. Also VoiceOver had improved, now the language changes automatically when text in different language is encountered. Also Apple had removed Youtube and replace the old Maps app with a new one, which is better and is compatible with VoiceOver as well.
So, if you haven't done already, you can update your iOS device. Note you need at least an iPhone 3GS, an iPod Touch 4th generation, and an iPad 2. Also you should have iOS 5 installed already, which will make upgrading very easy; you don't need to restore your device from a backup or go through long setup process.
That's it for now...

Some updates

Hello guys;
So, the trolls did finally found out about my plans to demolish the trolls. Today when I woke up and look in my inbox, I was totally shocked. The unread message that I received is that one of the troll had tagged me in a Facebook status, and when I opened the status, I got even more terrified and mad. The trolls had done away by bragging about it, and one of them went as far as to tag the rest of the troll army. What a bad start for the day!
Now linking back to the options; I think I can safely discard the second option, as the current situation is too dangerous for me to let things run its course without interference. That basically leaves me with 2 options, the first and the third option, as described in my earlier post. If I proceed with the first option, what will happen is that trolls will become even more annoying, and then it will come to a time where they start annoy me during vulnerable times like Chemistry, PHSE or during morning and afternoon registration. However if I was able to get to the very top of the line, I may have increased my strength and finally be able to demolish the trolls using the power of relationships, which may then evolved into OAT (organization against trolls), and what happens after that is me having a good life.
However if I go with the third option, the first problem that I will encounter is that this option assumes that I already have a working OAT group, which is not happening yet. If I was to take this problem into consideration, then this option too can be discarded, because OAT cannot form without good relationships, unless if I am willing to take the risk and try to exploit the trolls' weakness alone. So that means that I have no choice but to go ahead with the first option, unless if I was ready to take the risk of the third option without proper, united OAT group.
So, this post basically concludes my final decision. After some consideration, I will anounce that I will go with the first option described in my earlier post. The second option is too dangerous to take right now, and the third option cannot be done without good relationship and working OAT and it is too risky to do it alone.

Some analysis on the fifth trolls campaign

Hey guys,
So, it's about 4 days into the fifth trolls campaign. So far it's not so good, particularly Wednesday the 12th of September. That day the trolls annoyed me pretty much, and I can say it's very annoying.
Now, I think there are various options available: To improve friendship with the girl the trolls was using as a subject to annoy me to the point that relationship status on Facebook could be changed, to do nothing and let things run its course, or to counter-troll the trolls by exploiting their weakness.
Improving friendship: This option may work, as I did talk to the girl the trolls was talking about for a while now, and I can say it's very good. If I continue down this path, eventually I will come to a point that it is safe enough to change my relationship status on Facebook. If that was to happen, one advantage is that the new relationship status on my Facebook profile would stop the trolls from starting a new trolls campaign. This means that the lifetime of the fifth trolls campaign will be extended. However one major disadvantage is that the trolls will intensified; probably pass the 21st January 2011 and February/March 12th of this year level, and that would make things even more annoying.
Do nothing: This may seems a good idea. If I choose this option, the advantage is that I can avoid being trolled in excess. However one disadvantage is that the trolls can start new trolls campaign if they wish so, and it is almost impossible to predict which girl the trolls would pick.
Counter-troll the trolls: This may also seem workable, but finding the weakness is what makes it difficult. However if I can achieve this, the advantage is that once I had annoyed them enough, they would began to annoy each other, effectively destabilizing them, and will eventually result in the collapse of the trolls. However one big disadvantage is that if the trolls found out, they may start using desperate measures to attack me, worsening the situation.
So, there's 3 options now that I have to choose. I'm not sure which one to pick, but probably I may go with the first option as it's the safest and seems easiest to do. Also, if I go with the first option and I was able to defeat the trolls, the output after that can be particularly good on my side.
However this will all depend on the current situation, and whether I can handle the increase in the amount of trolls once I go far enough with the first option. I still have to consider these 3 options, but I think I may have to make my final decision fast.

A very bad day; the fifth trolls campaign spreads

Hey guys;
So, right after the fifth trolls campaign started yesterday, today it did spread, and it spreads very rapidly. Now it's getting very annoying!
Now, I was pretty lucky today to have made it through Chemistry without being trolled. Although the seat that I'm sitting is a perfect spot for trolls to erupt since it's close to the girl the trolls was talking about and some trolls, but no one had reminded them about this at all; otherwise things could have gone worse.
So far in 2012; I have been through at least 3 trolls campaigns; the second, third and the fourth; and now I'm battling the fifth one; and the fourth campaign of the year! Wow!
Now, things looked very bad. I don't know what to do next.

A bad day; the start of the fifth trolls campaign

Hello guys,
So, as what I expected, the trolls did make it. They did finally started the fifth trolls campaign, but also marking the end of the fourth one. This means that the fourth trolls campaign had a very short life cycle, lasting from August 30th, 2012 to September 11th, 2012; which is today.
What I can say at the moment is that it's not too annoying yet; since this is just the start. But fear not, this thing will soon spread very fast and things will be extremely difficult to control.
Now, a bit about this: I can say that this is similar to the fourth trolls campaign, starting from nothing in particular. But this time, the girl that the troll chose to use as a topic to annoy me is in my tutor group and my Chemistry class; and sadly enough she and some trolls are sitting close to me; which means that Chemistry will be a good chance for the trolls. Sadly enough, I have Chemistry tomorrow as well, so I don't know what will happen. Unlike the fourth one, in which the trolls used 1 new girl that I didn't even know, this time they used the girl that I had already talk to more than once. This means that it would be difficult for me to defend myself, and they could use that as an advantage to attack me to the maximum. Hopefuly the maximum mode trolling will not repeat, as that was extremely annoying.
So far, things are going in a bad way.

ASDAN movie trip today; wasn't so bad

Hey guys!
So, I'm back from watching the movie with my ASDAN class. What I can say that it wasn't too bad, but wasn't so good either. It's kind of neutral. But I can tell that it's better than the one on 18 November 2010!
Although watching movies is quite boring, today the movie that my ASDAN class watched is 'Bourne Legacy'. It's not too bad. Oh the best part is at the end when a guy, not sure if he's a bad or good guy, is kind of going crazy on his motorbike and he basically goes very fast and just crashes into things...that's so funny! I even laugh when that happens! And what happens next is just 2 motorbikes chasing after each other, crashing into things like normal, probably one person is trying to chase a bad guy. Overall I can say this movie is quite good!
So, although the movie makes the event better, I still dislike watching movies. But the fun bit at the end of the movie keeps me from putting this as one of the worst events. Simply, it will not be listed at all, since it's kind of in the middle.
That's it for now...

Trolls update and some other stuff

Hey guys,
So, it's now 2 weeks into year 11. So far the situation of the trolls aren't so good.
On August 30th, which is the first Thursday of year 11, 1 person in year 11 had successfully created a rumor that had evolved into the fourth trolls campaign. From that point on, it's very annoying. And today, amazingly, the trolls had went as far as to let the Chemistry teacher know about it and sadly enough the girl that the trolls use as a subject to attack me is in the Chemistry teacher's tutor group. I have to consider myself as a bit lucky that nothing bad has happened during English today; but I don't know what will happen on Monday.
And, today after I tell people about my personal target that I set during PHSE lesson, the trolls started attacking. Since I stated that my target is to meet and be friends with all new students in year 11(including girls), that means that there's small chance that the fifth trolls campaign could erupt, and that will be very bad situation; especially if it was to happen within the next few weeks. Actually there's even very small chance that the fifth trolls campaign could erupt right on the upcoming Monday!
Right, so what's coming up. Well, on Sunday there's another ASDAN movie trip, which I can say is fine. Hope it's better than the one on 18 November 2010!
That's it for now...

Update on trolls activity

Hey guys,
So, today has finally ended and guest what? Nothing bad has happened! Although small annoyances did happened, but I think that's quite normal.
So, I think the fourth trolls campaign is still active, but it's not spreading fast like the third one; which is very good I must say.
So far things are still fine.

Another bad day; the fourth trolls campaign has gone wild

Hello guys;
So, today is quite bad. Today, the fourth trolls campaign has gone wild. This means that more trolls are knowing about the false rumor created on the 30th of August.
Basically if you don't know what the rumor is...well the rumor has that I like a girl, which is...a new student in year 11. I can tell you, it's not even true. I don't even know her!
But, now I am faced with 2 choices: accept or reject. Either will determine the situation from now.
If I choose to accept the rumor, I may face less annoyances, but the problem is that I don't know the new girl, but there's a workaround, and there's high chance that I will get tons of inquiries regarding this.
Whereas if I choose to reject the rumor anyway, I can avoid mass inquiries, but the big problem is that it would create a situation where 2 trolls campaign are running together and I will face huge wave of annoyances. But that will also mean that the trolls will be breaking up into 2 separate groups, rather than 1 unified group. The first is the one surrounding the old third trolls campaign, and the other surrounding the new fourth trolls campaign.
Now, it seems that no matter what I choose, there will be a bad output. So, I don't really know what to do. I really don't!
Update! Now the trolls are even more annoying since the main group had already found out about the fourth trolls campaign! That means that tomorrow will be a very bad day for sure since I got English, Maths and Business Studies and the trolls are in those 3 classes! Now I don't really know what to do!

Trolls update

Hey guys,
So, turns out today nothing bad has happened yea!
Now, I think that's good. I think the guy who spread the rumor may have forgotten to tell the main group of the trolls, otherwise things would have gotten worse. But it's not...so that's a good thing that he forgot!
Now, I had made it through the first week of the academic year, and I can say it is almost perfect. If yesterday's event did not happen, then this first week would be absolutely perfect. Yesterday's event spoiled it all!
At the moment, I can say that the fourth trolls campaign has started, but it's just...not active as of yet. It will be active when the main group of the trolls found out about the rumor. If that is to happen, then my worst nightmare is confirmed. I think this is most likely on Monday since I still have English. Plus, another member of the extension of the trolls had also already knew about this, so he can spread it if he wants, which I think is very likely that he will spread this false rumor to the main group of the trolls, worsening the situation.
So far, things are quite good.

A bad day; the start of the fourth trolls campaign

Hey guys;
So, at first I thought the first week would be good, but today reveals that it's not. Today at first it seemed to be going well, but then at lunch someone in year 11 thought that it is fun and spreads some very false news about me liking a new girl; which I can assume that must be one of the new student...which is not even true! I don't even know her!
So, with that marks the start of the fourth trolls campaign, and the end of the third one. That shows that my prediction is correct! New trolls campaign arrives with the new academic year!
Now, I can say that the third trolls campaign is very short-lived; only 3 months from the breakout on May 23rd.
So, today, August 30th, 2012, is the start date of the fourth trolls campaign. I hope it doesn't spread fast like the previous one!
Update: Due to this new troll campaign, I had updated the previous post to reflect the current situation.

Updated trolls timeline

Hey guys,
So, I had decided once again to compile a new version of the trolls timeline. For this purpose, I had decided to remove the previous version.
Basically this version will be similar to the previous version, but I will now group them into campaigns, based on the girl that the trolls used as a subject to annoy me.
The starting and ending of each campaign is the same; new campaign starts when they found out the new girl that I could like, and ends when the girl that the trolls used as a subject to annoy me leaves or they found another potential girl.
So, the timeline is as follows:
Early high school trolls: Late 2008 to mid 2009
The first kind of annoyances in high school that I faced was back in year 7. Back then, kids that annoyed me weren't really trolls, but they showed some characteristics of the trolls. Instead of using love as the subject, they instead try to hurt me using physical methods, and I can say that was really bad experience for me. It finally drawn to a close when I move to ST. Andrews International School.
First trolls campaign: Late 2009 to mid 2010
Right, my new high school life has begun. The first trolls campaign started late in 2009, and it wasn't too bad. It was the first form of annoyance that is classed as true trolls, and uses the subject of I like a girl to annoy me; a subject that continued to be used until today. It finally ended by the end of year 8.
Second trolls campaign: Late 2010 to April 5th, 2012
This started a bit later than the start of year 9; but actually tension for this has been building up since the last few weeks of year 8. The event was quite bad, especially the last bit of it that took place during this year. In fact, this campaign stretches over to year 10 and consequently, it gotten worse when I made my first wall post outside my wall, saying 'Hi.'. From that point on, it slowly gotten worse and it ended in a dreadful way.
Third trolls campaign: May 23rd, 2012 to August 30th, 2012
After the end of the second trolls campaign, there is about 4 weeks gap. During this time, I experienced nothing more but the aftermath of the second trolls campaign. People continues to refer me to the girl that had now cease to exist, and I don't really feel good. Eventually, the new trolls campaign did make an appearance on May 23rd, with tensions building up on the night of May 22nd. But it started off quite badly. Trolls spread out of my control! May 25th might be one of the most annoying day. Trolls attack me by tagging on Facebook, and that is really annoying. Luckily the end of year exams did help to keep the trolls calm, but after the exams were over, the trolls began to heat up again, and they even threatened to launch a troll war on June 8th; but surprisingly they did not do so. From that point on, it seems that things didn't really get any better. It ended on August 30th, 2012.
Fourth trolls campaign: August 30th, 2012 to September 11th, 2012.
Right, immediately after the third trolls campaign ended, the fourth one occurs. This one was a bit strange since it started around a rumor created by one of the student in year 11. Even though I said that the rumor is totally false, but the trolls doesn't seem to believe what I said, and went on to annoy me.

I can say it is not as bad as the third one, thanks to its short life. But it is long enough to make me feel really annoyed. It suddenly came to a close on September 11th, 2012.

Fifth trolls campaign: September 11th, 2012 to now.

Wow, it's just...amazing. The fifth trolls campaign suddenly erupted! This one is just like the previous one, started without real background. It's quite annoying, I must say. Currently it seems that the number of people known about this is still quite limited.

At the moment, things doesn't look good. But today, it seems that a small internal conflict has occured inside the trolls, which had destabilized them a bit. I can say that it was a positive thing for me, because that means that the spread of the fifth trolls campaign will slow down. If conflicts between the trolls continue to develop, then I think eventually the fifth trolls campaign spreading will come to a halt and the trolls will fall apart and the fifth trolls campaign will eventually be demolished, as a result of the conflicts. But they can reconcile quickly and increase their strength, and that's what I am very worry of.

That's it for now...

Summer holiday has ended

Hello guys,
So, as of today, the long 8 weeks summer holiday has come to an end. Tomorrow will be the start of the new academic year of 2012-2013 (year 11).
So, I'm quite excited for this, as I will get to meet all of my friends once again, and most importantly, the ASDAN trips will resume, which is great. But sadly, with the arrival of year 11, we had passed the point of no return for most events like International Day, Sports Day, residential trip, and some other house events. Also, there's high chance that Loy Katong will be possible this year, since it's unlikely that a massive flood will occur. That is good, since last year people are disappointed that the festival had to be canceled due to the severe floods. Also, Fun Run will be gone, and that's the thing that I'm very happy off.
Also, with the arrival of school also came the return of the trolls. Yes, they had been very inactive for the past 8 weeks and I'm very happy, but I think the happy time has ended. I don't know if they will come up with a new way to annoy me, or will continue their old way.
That's it for now...

Video: How to install Windows XP in VMware Workstation

The video shows you how to install Windows XP in VMware Workstation. You need Windows XP installation disk with a valid product key, Home or Professional, SP3 is recommended! You also need VMware Workstation, V8 is recommended! I think VMware Player works too, just use the latest version.
P.S this is my first proper video, and is also the first video to be posted on this blog.

Summer holiday is ending soon

Hey guys,
So, after about 7 weeks of long break, the holiday is close to ending, with only 1 week left. It's been a very long holiday, I must say, and I liked it.
Now, with the passing away of the holiday comes both good and bad things.
First the good thing: I get to meet all of my friends again, which is what I am very well looking forward to.
Now, the bad thing: The passing away of the holiday also marks the return of the trolls, after about 8 weeks of inactivity. Now, I don't know if they will annoy me in a more intensive way, or will continue as is. But what I really want is for the trolls to die off altogether.
Also on another note, 2012 is ending within about 4 months from the start of September. I can say so far 2012 has been a great year, with great events, but also hosts some bad/annoying events. All the time from January to June it has been fun overall, even though some events are quite devastating and annoying, I'm not going to mention what those events are; I will tell you when I write up a summary of the year in December; but I think some of you who had been following my blog, and especially those that had been following my Facebook updates, should already know the events that I described as 'Devastating' and 'Annoying'.
That's it for now...

Some updates

Hi guys;
So, if you've noticed, there's not much new lately. Well the fact is, it's holiday and there's not much to write about, other than updates on the trolls, which I can say they're inactive right now. I would better say that they're in 'Holiday mode', which is good, because I don't like them annoying me during the summer.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, if you've noticed, yesterday I was trying out new templates for this blog. After a while I decided to revert back to this template, mainly because it looked better.
Anyway, it is now halfway through the summer holiday. Time goes fast, isn't it? So, that means that after this 4 weeks, the trolls could be back on full mode and start annoying me again. That is not something I'm looking forward to at all, but I don't think I can avoid that.
That's it for now...

Get a national flag UI in your browser (FIREFOX USERS ONLY)!

National Flags 2012 :: Collections :: Add-ons for Firefox
You should check this out, as this is very cool. It's just skins that will give your Firefox an appearance of the flag of your nation. I still don't know in detail of why this is created, but maybe because of the 2012 Summer Olympics that had just begun.
There are over 60 skins, most of which represents a flag of a country. So go ahead and select your country! See screenshot below for the example of my Firefox UI immediately after applying a skin.

As you can see, I have chosen Thai flag for the skin, and I can say it looks very nice.

The best website for Windows customization!

Windows Help, Tips-n-Tricks, Tutorials, Customization and Downloads
Hello guys,
So, as you can see already, the link above will take you to what I can say the best place for Windows customization.
This website will show you some useful Windows customization that you can do on your Windows computer. Note that some of them are quite advance, particularly messing with system files. If you don't know how to mess with system files properly, I suggest that you leave those sections alone.

Microsoft Office 2013 is now available!

Hello again guys;
So, Microsoft has finally released the customer preview/beta version of the upcoming major update of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office 2013. You can get it here. Note this new version requires Windows 7 or newer, effectively dropping support for Windows XP and Vista. For most of you it may be a surprise/shocking news, but for me this has no impact, as I am using Windows 7 at the moment. And, I think most of you should be using Windows 7 by now, because Windows 7 has been released for nearly 3 years already, and it is faster, more stable, more secure, and has more features than in Windows XP and Vista.
Also check out  this link, to learn more about what's new in Microsoft Office 2013.

My history of blogging

Hello guys;
So, today I would like to share you the history of blogging so far in my life.
Well, I started blogging back around 2008. That time my blog was a sub-blog of my primary school's blog system. I remember back then I don't even have my own account. I also use to have 1 or 2 Blogger blogs, but due to lack of blogging skills I was unable to maintain them. Then, around early 2009, I set up my first ever independent blog at wordpress.com. Due to the busy school schedule and lack of proper blogging skills, my blog was left inactive until later that year, when I started learning some basic blogging skills. I had continued to use that blog until late 2010 when I discovered Blog Baker and set up a blog with them. Since then, I had been using their service. Then, late last year, I begun testing Blogger, and the test came to the conclusion that Blogger is way better than Blog Baker, so I decided to make the move, and this is my current blog that I'm blogging now. I also had my own hosted blog, linked to my website at www.supanut2000.com, but I mainly use that blog for site-related updates, although I may make the move later and unify all updates and posts into 1 single blog.
That's it for now...

Trolls activity update

Hello guys,
So, it's 2 weeks into the holiday, and so far trolls are very inactive. I can now assume that they had switched to holiday mode, and this means that the troll war has also come to a halt. The sign of this is that over the past 2 weeks there's barely any comments from the trolls. Even my latest status had received no comments at all.
So far, things looked very good. Hope things will continue as it is.

Friday the 13th tomorrow, a D day

Hey guys,
So, tomorrow is once again RFriday the 13th, a day that many people viewed as an unlucky day.
Well, it can be either true, not true at all, or partially true or not true. It ultimately depends on what we as human beings do on this kind of day.
As for computer security, as with other times you should use common-sense and avoid dodgy things on the internet, and you will not be a victim of this kind of day.
As for the troll war, well it's holiday and they are virtually inactive. That's very good, and I'm sure tomorrow nothing bad will happen.
Until now I'm not sure why some, or many, people viewed Friday the 13th as the bad/unlucky day. Maybe it has something to do with historical events? I have absolutely no idea.
That's it for now...

2012 half-year summary

Hello guys,
So, we are now half-way through 2012. During this half, there are many events taking place around the world, all which affects people in a different way.
In the world of technology, there's many new things going on around, but mostly new operating systems from Microsoft and Apple were just in an early stage of development, although Apple's OSX Mountain Lion is due out soon, while Microsoft's Windows 8 is due for October release.
In terms of my life, there are plentiful number of events, all of them are so epic that they had a strong impact on me as a whole.
The event in my life that dominates this half of the year is the annoyances at school. Like previous year, it has been going on non-stop. With this year comes a change. So far this year a new form of annoyances/troll emerged, the Facebook trolls. This is the latest addition, expanding on the already existing school trolls.
The most fun, exciting and memorable event so far would be of course the year 10 residential trip to Rayong. It's the best residential trip yet in high school, and I have a lot of fun.
Probably the most dreadful event is April 5th. That date marks the end of the long second trolls era, and it did not end in a good way at all.
The most annoying day of all so far would be May 23rd. This date marks the start of the third trolls era, and it started off very intense. New wave of trolls spread very fast, like a wildefire, and within 2 days things started to go downhill. Fortunately the exams has helped keeping things from going further downhill, but when the exams are over, the power of trolls are back in full, and things started to get very bad.
That's it for now...
