Liar, liar. Pants on Fire.

August 28, 2006

Sometimes he wonder if he is just lying to himself. Being so accustomed to lies and lying, he can’t seem to differentiate the truth from the untruth anymore. But that is just him. So…

Lullaby

August 27, 2006

He doesn’t know whether to place his poems (yes he writes) here as posts in the blog or to gather them and place them in a page of their own. So in the meantime, he’ll post them here.

Read the rest of this entry ?

Overdue Gratitude

August 25, 2006

He’d like to say thanks to a few very kind people.

Glennis and Junming, for the Woods sweets and the Pi Pa Kao.
Shuhui and Ah Seng, for helping him print his tutorials.
His student, Brandon, for being so nice to him yesterday.
Guoyi, for helping him with his laundry.
Jobeth, for buying dinner and making honey water for him.

He apologises for these overdue thanks (busy week) but he is really very touched by what these people did for him (he was, still is, down with cough). People like them make his day brighter. Thank you all again.

He wanna change blogskin! He wanna change blogskin! He wanna change blogskin now!

But he cannot find any suitable one… This skin cannot work; it doesn’t even look like a diary.

Joy Rating

August 17, 2006

Joy Rating (noun): A scale from 0 to 10, indicating how much joy is derived from a certain activity. 10 being the maximum amount of joy gained while 0 means that there is no joy to be gained.

He should play scrabble with real people more. It’s definitely more fun than playing online with a person that may be 2000 miles away. All the excitement, the crapping, the jokes… lol! Screw cybernet! Hmmm… but he really need more training before the showdown with Jobeth. He almost lost to Yansen yesterday (saved by 2 timely bingos)! For all you sceptical people out there, scrabble is not a boring game. It is how exciting you want it to be! He’s sure Beth and the rest of the “bona fide scrabblets” agree with him. Joy Rating : =] (8.5/10)

He discovered a new trend in himself. Whenever he gets tired from lacking sleep, he gets high and start babbling nonsense at an astonishing rate. The convenient thing is that he forgets everything after a slumber session. Could be useful but also can be a bane. Joy Rating : N/A (-/10)

T’was the clan barbeque yesternight too. Turned out well if one just focus on the event itself. Forgot what he ate but thought his hunger was sated. He saw Joyce, someone he hasn’t really seen/talked to for quite some time. And of all topics to talk about, they chose her. Ah well… it’s better that way he guess. He cannot always run away from that topic anyhow. But he’s still happy to see Joyce. Joy Rating : =] (7/10)

Like a roller coaster ride, Life has its ups and downs. Yesterday and today are no different. The barbeque, as mentioned earlier, turned out well. However, the niggly unsolved conflicts within the clan reared its ugly head and gave the wonderful night a bad ending. Why do people always have to find faults with issues? Can they just let everything go, sit back and enjoy? These people have nothing to do. Oh, mentioning about finding faults, he was slightly annoyed by this particular person who gatecrash every (maybe every is too much but it’s 2 out of 2) food event uninvited and scoot when it’s time to settle the bill. Never mind. Back to the bigger issue, maybe he should follow Cassandra’s advice and not bother about it anymore. Something he should try. Joy Rating : >=[ (-10/10)

He went on to miss his first tutorial of the day. He glanced at his timetable yesterday and decided that his lesson would start at 1030. Setting his alarm to 0930, he went to bed without blogging what he felt like ranting (today’s entry would be different if he’d blogged 8 hours earlier). The warning bells were there. Got a wake-up call from Yulin Dajie at 0800. A message from Emileo at 0940. He missed them all. He woke up at 1000, thinking he still had time to snooze somemore. When he finally woke up at 1015, he decided to skip the tutorial. So he called Zhenwei to help him sign the attendance sheet. Then he got a very strange reply: the attendance sheet was taken back by the tutor already. But the lesson wasn’t even supposed to start yet! Was it? He went to check his timetable again. Lo! The correct start time? 0930. How lame. Joy Rating : =/ (-2/10)

Office

August 15, 2006

He is thinking about running for the office of Hall 8 Junior Common Room Committee Honorary Secretary General. Wow, quite a mouthful is it not? The moment the intention was out in the open, he was faced with a plethora of responses. Some said, “What a waste of time!” while others gave their support and best wishes. Hmm…

Joining a committee is like taking one load of dung. Joining JCRC is like taking one big load of dung. If he doesn’t not carry this one big load of excrement, he will have to shoulder many small loads of it. His logic tells him that one big pile of shit is way better than many small piles of shit. So hence his intention run for the JCRC Hon. Gen. post.

The problem now is, of course, how to gather votes. Tricky, tricky. Time not to antagonise anyone now. Put on your bestest of smiles now, it’s election time.

Rain

August 15, 2006

It rained like mad today. Seems like Heaven is griefing for someone. Might as well, since there has been so much happenings lately.

Good thing the Lebanon Ceasefire came.

Ranting

Can you, ‘A’ Clan seniors, stop squabbling among yourselves not? Stop all the nonsense already.

Stop, stop, stop!!!!!!!!!!

Cui

August 9, 2006

Near to/on the 2nd month anniversary, bad things start to come in swarms. Maybe there is really such a thing as Karma. Anyway, if there are 5 things to describe what our little protagonist is feeling now, they are:

  • messed up
  • remorseful
  • hypocritical
  • blue
  • cui

By the way, “cui” roughly means broken beyond any hope of repair. May be wrong though. And because of all these, he takes back everything he had said yesternight.

New Look

August 7, 2006

He spots contact lenses and a new hair colour now.

He feels so weird wearing the lenses. Nauseous too. He wonders if he wore them inside out or something.

Argh, no time, no time. He needs to rush off for lunch now.
