Wash off my Pain

Secret War Journal[19 November 2009]
Be glad that I forced myself to blog today. Hahas. After posting this, I'm going straight off to bed because I have Prom Night. :p

I don't really want to type a lot so here's the usual. I'm going to use the photos to do the talking. :p

Picnic@Pasir Ris Park
Actually, today's supposed to be 4D's Class Outing but due to some reasons, it was posptoned to next week. (Just plain shit, potential clash of events)

Well, despite the postponing of the outing, Jaytii (and probably Chris) still wanted to go out. Since I had nothing else planned for today(because it was originally the outing, remember? =.=)

I got to admit, I was sort of dead tired. Perhaps I should had stayed at home and read a book and fall asleep or something.

Oh well, too late for second thoughts, before even being able to finish my Soduko, Lai Yin reached Compass Point which meant I should start leaving house too.

I failed to spot Lai Yin among the people in Compass Point, plainly because she re-bonded her hair. (Yes, another rarity in this strange world...)

Headed for Pasir Ris Park where Jaytii and Chris were in...
Photobucket

Reached Pasir Ris Town Park(Not to mention that it started raining the moment we reached, bad omen) and encountered this Fishing Farm. Yeah, so this picture is totally random. :p

Couldn't find Chris and Jaytii. (Another bad omen coming!)

Walked around the Fishing Farm and basically the whole of the Pasir Ris Town Park as the rain got heavily and little during the 'walk'.

Funnily, we could not see each other.

This conversation took place:
Me: Pasir Ris only got one park right?
Chris: Er..yeah!
Me: Okay. That means we're in the right place.

Despite that confirmation, we could not find the landmarks they told us to look out for. This is getting strange.

After a hour of walking, we got fed up and decided to meet up with Chris at the MRT Station nearby.

Amazingly, we were in the wrong park. (And I thought we were on the correct location. :p)


There are two Parks in Pasir Ris.
I don't think I need to repeat that statement. :p

They were in Pasir Rish Park (Notice the missing 'Town' word)

God, my stupidity got the better of me!

Anyway, on the bright side, I walked for a hour, that's exercising! Woots!

Heavy Rain came when we met up at the MRT Station. O.o


Went to meet up with Jaytii at the Shelter.
Photobucket

Can you see the heavy rain?! Anyway, here's the surroundings of our shelter....

Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket

Yay, thank you Rain. Now we can't play Kite and anything outdoors. (and ruined my original plan to read my book peacefully too! Argh!)

Since we were stuck from Heavy Rain, we played cards and stuff.(which isn't really much)

Ate Lunch in the shelter with added ingredients:Rain Water. Great.

Since the ground itself is wet, we set up Picnic Mats to give ourselves dry land to sit on(now that we're anywhere near dry anyway. Ha!)
Photobucket

How's this for sitting ground? :p

Photobucket

The book I tried to read in vain during the 'Picnic'.


By 5PM, the heavy rain was still ongoing though not as heavy as its climax. *Shrug*

Well, we had to leave anyway, so we headed home. Hopefully there won't be any rain tomorrow or on Monday.

Prom Night 2009


Obviously, I hope not!

But I got a feeling I will attend the Prom Night under-dressed. Oh heck! Who cares? ;)

My, won't that be memorable. Hahas!

May blog about Prom Night tomorrow and report how 'disastrous' it was. (If it is not too embarrassing, that is.)

>=D

To all: This is a bit late but enjoy your holidays! ;)

2012 & Sentosa

Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Secret War Journal[17 November 2009][Long Post]
Woke up rather late today. Woke up at 10AM. Felt very exhausted because I played with Johnston until Midnight last night. O.o

Forced myself awake and called Marcus and Johnston immediately.

Switched on computer and finalised the details of today's outing.

Turned out that Marcus could not join us. Sad. Sad. He had to go work today. Haiz.

Oh well, I will still be meeting him for next week's meeting at Jackie's House anyway. (Provided there is no clash)

Wish me luck in attending the meeting. :D

@ Bugis
Meeting up
After shutting down my computer, I was about to leave house to meet the others when my stepmother stopped me.

She wanted me to eat lunch first!

The original plan was to eat lunch during the movie.

So, I ended up eating a heavy lunch. (My stepmother gave me one entire pot rice for lunch! OMG!)

That's enough for two to be full. I think she wants to gain some weight. :p

Best part? I'm still eating during the movie. Woots!

After the unanticipated lunch, I rushed to Bugis and actually reached there 5 minutes early. Hahas, miracle man.

Did I mention that I left home behind schedule? :-)
Today's a good day. Hahas!
--
Turns out that Johnston was earlier than me so we met and discussed about upcoming movies should be watch.

Johnston was hoping that 2012(the movie we decided to watch) would not be like the Movie "9" (So do I. :p)
--
Our next attendee of the outing arrived. He's Darian! So that means I met a new friend today. :D

And here comes our first picture! (Okay, this was taken during the Skyride...)
Our Photographer
In-Between
We booked the tickets and then we realised something...
We had one hour and we had nothing to do(We did not plan for this!)

Great! Hahas. We loitered around Bugis Junction, took some pictures. :D
Chrimstas Tree @ Bugis

This Christmas Tree is already in place in Bugis Junction. (yeah, so early)
Wonder how they place such a big tree here?
Is it just me but does this tree look familiar? Hmm...
Bugis Junction

After a while, we decided to go MacDonald's to eat some French Fries. But we did not because it turned out that Darian ate Brunch there, so obviously, he won't want to re-enter there. Hahas...

We started talking about how's life after our National Examinations.

Then we got sort of awkward because we're not shopping and we're loitering around the shops so we went to the Arcade.


Played Mario Kart though Darian didn't want to play arcade so he just watched.

I got Second, I was so close to getting First. I was overtook by Johnston in the last 2 seconds!

Ahh!! The feeling of brinkmanship. Hahas...

We went on to play Time Crisis 4. Let's just say that it was an utter trashing.

Since we still had time remaining, we just stood and watched other people play their games...

The Movie: 2012
Source:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3401/3276407960_b21bb09121.jpg
The movie was great!

Aside from you people wondering whether this 2012 thing is true(which scientists say is false), the storyline progression was alike to Transformers: The Movie. Which means...EPIC!

There were many dramatic scenes, many of which were played out rather well.

Many scenes were really touching and sad because so many people died.

But we're rather sadistic. :p

Okay, to those people who hadn't watched the movie, look out for this character: Yuri




Character Bio: He's a Russian Character and I believe he's the Comic Relief in this movie. He's pretty good at making us laugh after sad scenes.

So be extra careful of what he has to say in the movie! Hahas!

After the movie, Darian decided he would be more environmentally green (for a few days at least)

O.o
Hunting for Keller
Keller was coming to join us after the movie(he did not join us for the movie because he already watched.)
Water Fountain @ Bugis

I told him to meet us at the Water Fountain but he was nowhere to be seen.

After waiting for a few seconds(okay, so I'm  a bit impatient), I called his mobile.
Surpirse Shot
While I was calling, Darian took a surprise photo of me. LOL!

Totally, unprepared for this. Hahas!!!

Meanwhile, I contacted keller and he could not find the water fountain. So I asked him where he was.

Turns out that he was the MacDonald's which was near the water fountain. He could not find it because the giant Christmas Tree blocked it from his view. Nice!

@ Sentosa/Vivocity
Entering Sentosa
Wasting no time, we headed for Vivocity.

Since we're all lazy to walk, we entered Sentosa through the Sentosa Express AKA Monorail. :)

Entry Card to Monorail

The entry card includes an invitation to New Year Countdown Party! Hmm...should we attend?
Entrance
The Bridge to Sentosa! Yeah, there are some ugly construction behind but only because it's constructing the IR and Universal Studies. Can't wait to see how it will turn out. ;)

Luge and Skyride!
Now to our next highlight of our outing!
Luge Poster
Some poster for Luge.

Ticket to Luge and Skyride
So we bought the tickets for Luge, We actually wanted three rides but we were short on funds. :p
Maybe next time then. ;)

Skyride
We took the Skyride first! Johnston and Darian were ahead of us. C'mon! Wave back to us! ;)

Yeah, you know I'm scared of Heights so how come I tried it anyway?
*Shrug* For the experience, I guess. I was a bit freaked out in the beginning when we were going higher since I got this feeling that I was going to fall down.

But after I manage to calm down(by thinking "I'm not going to die!") Things got better. :D

Luge Station
This is Luge-Skyride Station. After our skyride, we're going for the Luge!

Choosing Helmets

That's Darian and Johnston choosing their helmets for the Luge! Hi!

Start Luge!
That's Keller driving the Luge. *Call out to Keller* Face the Camera!

Start Luge!
Hahas, he really turned his head. Hey! Watch the road!

(Hahas, just joking, he was not moving at all.)

Skyide#2
Back to Skyride! We got two trips, remember?

This time is Johnston and I. :D

Playing Luge
Back to Luge! Let the race begin!

Playing Luge
I'm ahead! Woots!

My hand

Evidence of our playing of Luge. :p
My sign have glow effect and did not fade as easily as the others. I'm not exactly sure why either.
Okay, what now?
Exiting from the Luge Station, we were thinking what we should do now. 4D magix? Musical Fountain? Dinner?
Snack Bar

This was near the luge Station.

CrossRoads
This is the entrance to the Musical Fountain. It's called "Songs of the Sea"

Upon reaching here, it started to rain. Ahh!
Dinnertime!
Since it started rain, watching Musical Fountain is officially out of question. So we decided to head for Dinner.

We headed to Palawan Beach for Dinner. Darian ordered Char Siew Rice(Hope I spell correctly) while Keller ordered some noodles.

Johnston and I ordered Spicy Beef Ramen.

After ordering, we regretted it thoroughly. The smell itself was very spicy. (And you know I don't really like Spicy food. :p)

So here's our feeble attempts to finish this spicy food:
Spicy Ramen!

Yay! Finished the noodles, left the vegetables and soup. (In the end, I did not drink the soup, too spicy!)

Keller tried the soup, at the second spoon, he felt the effect of the spiciness. He took three spoonful in total.

Amazingly, the pain was long lasting, keller called it the after-effects of the soup. Hahas!
Spicy Ramen!

Johnston is better at spicy food than me. He is eating with much ease. :p
Spicy Ramen!

But he also needed drinks to soothe the spiciness. ;p
4D Magix/CineBlast
Next stop, we headed for 4D Magix. It's still raining rather heavily, so Musical Fountain is definitely impossible to watch already.

When we were moving to the 4D Magix Venue, we passed by the Merlion. Keller had mentioned earlier that he wanted to jump down from the Merlion(without ropes, of course :D)
So we were like daring him to do just that. :p
Purple Merlion
Merlion looks demonic here right? Creepy,

Merlion

This one is even more demonic...
Merlion

O.o
Merlion
Keller and Johnston walking in the darkness.

Ticket to Magix

Reaching our destination, we decided to watch "Pirates" even though Johnston watched before. He said that it was okay and that he don't mind watching again. O.o Oh well.

The video was not bad. The bees were really real and life-threatening!

Some of the people inside screamed when the 4D part comes alive to scare them. :p
Wanna know what scared them? Go try one yourself. ;)
Home
After the video, we took some more pictures!
Rabbit Ears?!
That keller took revenge on me by putting the Rabbit's Ear! Argh! I will do that back to you. Hahas!

Hawr!

Darian commented that Johnston had no neck. LOLs?

Tired, we returned home...

Halfway during the outing, Darian told me some funny stuffs.
  1. Superman and Batman were in a race. Who won?
  2. Three elements - Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen - were in a race. Who won?
Answer to #1: Superman. Because when "Batman Begins", "Superman Returns"
Answer to #2: Nitrogen. N2(Enthu)

Imbiah = IMBA!
(okay, a bit random)

So I'm a tad late in posting this. :p

On that day, Jaytii and Co had second round of Shopping. (yes. Wow.)

Shopping @ Far East Plaza
Whether by fate or by design, we decided to go to Orchard, Far East Plaza.

Brought them to my mother's shop and took some pictures of the interior of the shop. (yes like finally?)

Queena Interior


Queena Interior


Queena Interior


Met many people that we knew. Like, Girls from 4D, Sally, and Stephanie, etc, etc.

Oh! I think I got scammed by the Drink Stall in Far East Plaza. It cost $2 for a bottle of Lemon Juice. Talk about Inflation =.=

Apart from that, nothing else interesting occurred.

Fixing of PSP
After shopping, I went to Wisma Atria to send my PSP on fixing.

The counter informed me that it may cost $130 to repair it. (My wallet's getting holes now...)

I had not decided whether it's worth it to pay yet. Maybe I wasn't meant to own a PSP. :o

Hmm...

See ya then, I will blog about today's Outing probably tomorrow(and there's pictures!)

End of Os

Secret War Journal[13 November 2009][3rd post]
As promised, here's my third post. :p

As for the shopping Event, I'm so sorry I have no photos, I was lazy to take out the camera. :p

World Kindness Day 2009
Happy Kindness Day to all!

Had the day been kind to you? Well, it had been kind to me today! :D

Kind things that happened to me:
  1. Relatively Easy Chemistry Paper 1
  2. Stepmother allowed me to use Handphone
  3. Father gave me $50 to buy my prom night stuffs
Sadly, though everything else is kind, the cost of buying the yellow flower which symbolise kindness ain't kind. :p
*Hint* *Hint*

Step-grandmother-in-Law returns home
My step mother's mother returned back to her homeland this morning as I had my last paper.

Wonder what's going to happen at home now. Less one sensible person at home can be rather bad...

Shopping@Hougang
The Gathering
Well..this shopping trip was organised by Lai Yin.

So basically, this is an shopping trip with Jaytii & co. + Cynthia, Bao Lin and Wei Ting. (Chris cannot make it though)

It was planned to meet up at Compass Point(Sengkang MRT Station) at 1PM.
(Our paper ends at 9AM today)

But some how or rather, some of us came early.

For example, I came at 12:40PM.

Jaytii, on the other hand, came at 12:30PM.

=.=, she made me look like I'm late. :p

Went to library to find Jaytii. Took me time to find her.
A moment later, we bumped into Cynthia and Wei Ting.

Borrowed two books there were both recommended by Jaytii. Well, I started on one book, quite confident that I can finish by this weekend. It's rather thin.
(Note to Marcus: Don't worry, your books are still top priority! ;)

At around 1PM, we went to the MRT Station to meet up with the others(excluding Yan Zhi).

Yan Zhi had already found a job! That's why he could only join us later. Oh well. :p


reppeP Lunch
Okay, I meant Pepper Lunch. :p

After the group gathered, we went to Hougang for Lunch.
(P.S: I had lunch before this at home. Hahas)

So personally, this is my Lunch Part 2. Woots!

Cynthia was like complaining non-stop that she was hungry(don't let her hear that. Hahas)

We were deciding between MacDonald's and KFC until Jaytii suggested eating something that we don't normally eat in our normal school days, seeing that Compass Point had MacDonald's and KFC.
(Just out of curiosity, I thought we were boycotting MacDonald's???)

So they decided to eat at PepperLunch. I'm pretty sure everyone knows what that is so I am going to skip the introduction and stuff.

In short, everyone of us bought Student Meal.
If my memory serves right, only Jaytii called for an upsize. O.o
(Obviously, I'm not going to upsize, I had lunch prior to this!)

Funnily, the one who was complaining forever that she was hungry was to last to order.


I ordered Chicken Pepper Rice. (If you recall, I don't really like Spicy food)
Which was pretty much the same order as Bao Lin, Wei Ting, and Cynthia.

Lai Yin ordered some Curry-???-Pepper Rice. :p
No idea the rest bought what because I could not identify.

Did I mention that this is the first time I ate at PepperLunch?

Oh well..You know what I think is cool in eating at PepperLunch? Being able to play with the food! (okay, I'm being childish.)

Seriously, I think my Dad will love this place. He likes food that are freaking hot(as in high temperature)

>=D

My rice's taste was influenced by other garnishes thanks to 'Assistant-Chef' Bao Lin and Wei Ting
Bao Lin added salt on my rice while Wei Ting added Pepper. (Thank god there was no Chilli there or I would just forsake eating the entire plate of rice.)

Best part? They did not seek my consent prior to adding the ingredients. 'Best'. =.=

But the rice still taste nice, though the last few mouthful was really salty because I forgot to stir the bottom to distribute the added salt. (Actually, I thought she only added on the top-left corner on my rice.)

Not bad. Go have a try!

The Tall One comes!
Yan Zhi arrived after we had lunch. I was the last to detect his presence. Before I knew it, he was right in front of me!

I was like, 'who is this tall guy?'
I looked up, I see Yan Zhi.

Totally Stunned! Hahas..

He gave me a =.= face because I should had seen him coming earlier. Opps?

Yan Zhi had his hair highlighted with shades of Brown(I think...)

Well, with him arriving, the shopping officially started. :D
(okay, that sounded strange)
Fashion Imbalance
One thing Yan Zhi and I realised on Hougang. There was only two shops selling male clothings. Two out of god-knows-how-many shops in Hougang.

Forget Trade Imbalance, talk about Fashion Imbalance. ;)

Unlike the girls, we pretty much looked though the clothes in those two shops while they were still in the first shop.

Yan Zhi and I walked around Hougang Mall to (hopefully) look for more shops that sell male clothes.

Midway, we met Mr Lim(our PE teacher). He was having lunch at a hawker centre(alone, aww...)

Apparently, Mr Lim was the Chief Invigilator in some nearby school. How cool is that?
(say Way cool!)

:-)

When we returned to Hougang Mall, the girls were still in the first shop!
(Suddenly, I got a feeling that this would take forever. :p)

Wow.

Yan Zhi and I went for second round, this time for leisure sake.

For some unknown reasons, we met some familiar people again,

This time, I spotted Beatrice. She was engrossed with her Harry Potter Book. I was like in front of her, waving frantically before she realised I was there.

LOL?! Nice!

Turns out that Pei Si was re-bonding her hair here. (Pei Si was TRYING very hard not to notice us. :p)

We asked Beatrice to call the girls over to meet up. (and to 'ambush' Pei Si)

After all the 'ambushing' and stuffs, we found that Beatrice and Pei Si were heading to Bugis later(which was our next destination...)

This is too much of a coincidence? O.o

Shopping @ Bugis
Since we were all heading the same direction so we decided to wait for Pei Si.

5 minutes later...

We're getting restless. Lai Yin informed us that it will take some time so we finally decided to move on first.

Cynthia had to go so she did not follow us.

And so we go to Bugis! (Through the MRT, of course)

On the MRT, the girls all looked like they were lifeless already. Wonder how they going to survive shopping in Bugis. :p

Went to Bugis Street with Yan Zhi to shop.

Saw some interesting shirts. :)


ROFL?

Well, at least I got a black pair of (skinny) jeans. Hmm..guess I'm going to wear that for Prom Night.

P.S: By some twist of luck, yan Zhi and I met Beatrice and Pei Si AGAIN! (In Bugis Street)

Homed *Yawn*
At around 6:20PM, we decided to head home.

Learnt a lesson, never head home around Peak Hours. The MRT Station was packed with commuters.
Thankfully, the train frequency was not bad during such times. ;)

Lai Yin disappeared when the Train came though. LOL?

Everybody(except Yan Zhi and I) looked pretty tired by then. I guess today's Shopping was too straining for them.

Reached home at 8PM.

Played computer with Johnston until 11:23PM.

Okay, it's late, time for me to go! ;)

Epic Walking Day 2009

Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Secret War Journal[11 November 2009][2nd Post]
Let's pray this won't be a long post. (I doubt it)

Leo's Birthday
Woke up very early today. In fact, this is first time I woke up so early when there is no school on that day. I woke up at 8am! Woots!

Of course, to be able wake up so early without getting wasted early in the morning, I slept rather early yesterday.

As you people probably know from reading the heading, today's is my little brother's birthday. That pretty much the reason I woke up so early. (Of course, there's another reason but let's talk about that later...)

The plan went rather well but I don't know where the birthday cake part went. (I think my mother didn't buy for her son. :o)

Lera made a Birthday Card. *Mother got semi-surprised*
I gave Leo an educational book as a present (My parents don't like toys so I can't give him toys or else I will get scolded. :p)
*Mother got very surprised*

Reason being? I seldom buy presents for anyone. See, those people who got my presents must appreciate. :p (LOLs!)

Well, my little brother is now a year older. I hope he can eats by himself soon. :p

Morning Tour to Orchard
One section down and it's already very long. So yeah, kiss "short post" wishes goodbye and move on to the next section on my agenda!!!....

Another reason why I woke up so early is that I need to help my stepmother do some errand. A customer is coming to collect the goods at 10:30AM and...my parents are busy(they took leave today)

Since I have no examinations, I was asked to go.

Why not? It's been some times since I visited the shop. :p

So I left home at 9.00AM with my stepmother using the computer searching for nearby hotels.

Another eternity taking the train to reach Orchard.
This time, I did not get lost. Landmark: Tang Plaza. O.o

Apparently, I reached there slightly early. In fact, the entire plaza is hardly even open!

F.Y.I. I reached there at 10AM.

So I had breakfast.

Oh! Did I tell you I almost got freaked out when I opened the shop?

I saw human figures in inside. (Bear in mind that it's dark inside without the lights on)

Actually, they were just mannequins. =.=

Shows you how long since I went to the shop, right?

Anyway, the goods sold were a pair of shoes, size 38. And it looks so small!

Really wonder how girls' feet can fit into them.
Girls are really a mystery...

Morning Tour around Sengkang
After passing the goods, I headed home.

Saw Darren, Angeline, Alexia, Ponti, Bernice...@ Compass Point when I came back.

Forgot to wish Ponti a happy Birthday(it's her birthday today too.)

Oh well, must had forgot about it when I was scaring her. :p

Went home and brought Lera to school.

After that, I went for lunch. =]
(My grandparents thought I was staying at the shop so they did not cook lunch for me. =.=)

Then, I head home. I swear, I walked so much that I could practically walked the entire Sengkang. Talk about marathon. LOL!

"O" Levels Examinations
Physics Paper 1
I got two questions wrong. T.T

Suggested Answers: Click here[By Miss Loi][PDF]

NEXT: Chemistry
1 more Paper!
Messy Worksheets!
I'm so severely mugging for Chemistry Paper right now.

The last stone wall to be torn down before Democracy is back in my world!
(Sorry for the obvious reference to the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall)

Leo's Birthday Celebration
Here's something unexpected. I was not informed that we were heading out at night for dinner at a restaurant!

My family and I went to Plaza Singapura for Dinner.

We went Western@The Cafe' Cartel.

I had Crispy Chicken with Sausage. Mmm! Had I mentioned that I like chicken? :D

Tonight, I realise that my family eats more than me. *Shocked*
You know, normally I eat the most at home...

Not tonight, my father practically just ate 3 person's worth of meal.
He ordered for seconds. O.o

When my family ate almost half of the food, I hardly even started because there were so many SMS-es and phone calls today. I really wonder why.

Jaytii and Co was informing me about the postponing of the Shopping Event followed by Marcus and Johnston(and later Emelia) trying to re-schedule our outing as a result. 

Busiest night since October. I swear!

That dinner cost close to $100. T.T
I think my dad is responsible for around $30, he ate so much!

My siblings still have the appetite for deserts. OMG! I was so bloated by then to have the ice cream. T.T

Watch me! I buy myself! LOL!

After dinner, my family went home while I stayed in Plaza Singapura to do some personal stuff. After that, I head home.

Okay, I'm now super full.. Good night!

International Left Hander's Day

Secret War Journal[11 November 2009][1st Post]
Here's a quiz to see how "left" are you!

F.Y.I. I"m left-handed. :-D
Left-handedness test
We all, of course, know in which hand we hold a pen, but how far does this bias extend throughout your body? Are you left-eared? Left eyed? Here is a simple test you can apply to yourself.
  1. Imagine the centre of your back is itching. Which hand do you scratch it with?
    Right.
  2. Interlock your fingers. Which thumb is uppermost?
    Left.
  3. Imagine you are applauding. Start clapping your hands. Which hand is uppermost?
    Left.
  4. Wink at an imaginary friend straight in front of you. Which eye does the winking?
    Right.
  5. Put your hands behind your back, one holding the other. Which hand is doing the holding?
    Right.
  6. Someone in front of you is shouting but you cannot hear the words. Cup your ear to hear better. Which ear do you cup?
    Left.(I think)
  7. Count to three on your fingers, using the forefinger of the other hand. Which forefinger do you use?
    Right.
  8. Tilt your head over on to one shoulder. Which shoulder does it touch?
    Right.
  9. Fixate a small distant object with your eyes and point directly at it with your forefinger. Now close one eye. Now change eyes. Which eye was open when the fingertip remained in line with the small object? (When the other eye, the non-dominant one, is open and the dominant eye is closed, the finger will appear to move to one side of the object.)
    Right. (Took some time to figure out which eye was open. Hahas)
  10. Fold your arms. Which forearm is uppermost?
    Right.
Score: 3/10 [HOLY COW!]

If you have always considered yourself to be right or left-handed you will probably now have discovered that your body is less than total in its devotion to its favoured side. If you are right-handed the chances are that you were not able to be 'right' 10 times.
