I fell down on Saturday.

While playing Freeze 'n' Melt. (I always thought it was 'milk'.) My escaping skills are all rusty, i miscalculated the turn and gravity took over. somewhere in the back of my head, a little tree-feller was shouting and OMGGG. i was so embarrassed i could only sit on the ground and laugh. now i got boo boos :(

But Saturday was a weird day anyhow. During mass! I thought someone i knew was sitting in front of me. Was wondering why he didn't turn around to say hello. And i was wondering throughout Mass. Finally. During the Sign of Peace, the 'stranger' turned around and gave me a shock. It was not the friend in question, that fella's nose was all smooshed flat! What if i pushed the stranger's head in greeting!

Then. My sister got annoyed because i held out my hand but flipped it just before she could hold it during the Our Father. And during the Peace time, i opened my arms to nearly-hug her and she just stood there.

"Peace man!"
"... ... "

Wokay. Dejectedly, i turned around to wish the fella behind. And getting a very amused expression in return. Ah booyah. An eye-witness to the rejection! If i didn't know better, I'd think i created these situations.

Talking about situations.



Is this not cool! And i can reedit and pronunce the peepuls' names :D

A Literal Translation
"Here is Marie. Who is it? It is Marie. She is the child of Mr and Mrs Mercier. She is the sister of Paul. Where is Paul? Ah! Here is Paul. Who is he? He is the brother of Marie. "

Then Marie and Paul tell you who they are, sister of Paul and brother of Marie respectively, and suddenly Paul points at this man walking in the garden. He cries out in a tremulous voice. "ZOMG. Who are these blackandwhytes! Intruding into our little grammar lecture as we try to teach extraterrestrials the ways of our Paperback. They know not what sacred ground they tread upon."

Marie peers over his shoulder and eyes afore-mentioned suspects before slapping her brother on the head. "Idiot! C'est Monsieur Mercier et Madame Mercier. Our father and mother."

Well, neither of them really did or said that. But now you know La Famille Mercier! The real passage continues as such.

"Who is that man? It is Mr Mercier. He is the father of Marie and Paul. Mrs Mercier is their mother. " Mr Mercier calls out, " Paul, are you in the dining room?"

The end.

And this is why..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adages_named_after_people

Now i know all sorts of Laws, and will casually flick them into conversations to annoy the hell out of people.

"You know, like Godwin's Law?"

"Who's that?"

"You don't know? Mike Godwin! You knoww, that guy.. "

"omg how can you not know who Godwin is!" *

But not soon, MSN is screwing up my com. Everytime i sign on, the monitor goes blue and tells me "Windows has encountered a problem" before taking much initiative by restarting. It annoys me and annoyers do not enjoy being annoyed. Two cannot play at the same game unless i win. Which is why i give up on computer chess. I eat its bishop and it eats my queen. Pick on someone your size man.

I think i will spend time coming up with a Law of my own. But not my first name. Nothing billboards UNIVERSAL like Murphy or Keynes yes. Or perhaps Kitt's Law. (If George Kingsley Zipf could pinch the end of his name and dump it on , so can i. Except my law won't look as awesomemath as his.)

Right. I've got the Name, the advertisement (you heard it here first), all i need is a adage that looks like a clever comment on society. So now i run off to ponder my witty one-liner that will leave the world gasping for air because it is so incredibly.. awesome.

*i won't be such a shit la. mwahaha.

The fastest way to travel is by candlelight

i would like to capture moments, freeze them and revisit them once in a while. not photographs. something like a pensieve, where you can re-experience the moment. and that would be cooler than a fridge in the Arctic.

yesterday was churchies'catchingupday. (a churchie is a friend in church. says me.) met anak and jo at the sec 3's activity day, then lunching with llama and sarah, then dinner at the friary with the sec 3 catechists. OMG SARAH CHEONG'S ANT JOKES.

"what's the ant with the highest position in the colony?"
llama and i stared at her.
"don't know. what's it?"
"IMPORT-ANT!!"

then she started cackling for the next 78257625 ant jokes. i bet the people studying next to us wanted to strangle her! of course there was the "who's the hottest/sexiest/most beautiful ant in the colony?" (no prizes for guessing who) her ant jokes are gonna become as ubiquitous as Yo Momma jokes, and one day, as well-known as "why did the chicken cross the road?" sarah cheong is so lame she's funny, she makes you go O:, D:, l:,

and llama's romeo and juliet mystery! and static charges. i concluded that llama's hair is better than sarah's, the charges it creates make more paper bits FLYYY :D

at night there was the dinner. unfortunately we didn't get served by the chipmunk, nor did we have fries (geddit? friary? fries? chips? monks?) :B and I WANT TO BECOME A FRIARRRRR WHEN I GROW UP. omgg the place is gorgeousness. with a doggie named Tricks. aha cute.

(pauses solemnly)

cherylteosuwen broke the place. HAHAHA. she pulled the sliding door open and the lock fell off. then after dinner, she sat down and this bell ornament tumbled off the christmas tree. omg the look on her face was classic. i was lucky enough to see the same expression twice- it's an ohshit and herewegoagain combilook.

later we were playing Polar Bear, and she got killed off in the first round for the first few games. she was so agitated because she couldn't play. i haven't laughed so hard continuously for a long time. jeremy's comments only made it funnier. "she takes it personally!" then she lunged forward, and i only managed to hear "this girl" and "karma!" over the laughter.

the first round she wasn't a villager, she was a polar bear. and a damn fantastic polarbear. i was right next to her and i didn't suspect a thing! only timothy suspected her, but she killed him off before he could do anything major. when he found out who she was, he burst out "I KNEW IT!" you should have seen him, his eyes were practically bulging.

Polarbear's megafun to play. everyone should play it! and if you die early, you get to hang around watching the rest get killed. like emmanuel pointed out, you know the princes from stardust? we just sit there, clap and go "oooh."


honestly i haven't had so much fun in a long while. now it REALLY feels like O's are over.
-beams- llama, sarah and anak. <33>

and oh! prom peektures.

i told you! OBIWAN KENOBI! i heart her boots. they are sexy boots.

table 3 the lucky table (:

aand i forgot to sweep the hair out of my eyes. laura called me the "one-eyed monster." here i proved her wrong. you can't see my other eye either.

a rather blurry class photo. look at all the teeny faces! but check mrs L out! first row, extreme left in the orange top. she looks our age!

omggg. i miss 2007 already.

Of stars and nights to remember

Last night was awesome. everyone was totally glamorousss, and i took peektures with Lucy Liu and Obiwan Kenobi :D jealous riight. but i have nothing on this com , so you can see all the pretties later on.

and the Woolly Affair almost made me tear. only i was afraid my mascara would smudge. i don't want to say byebye to 2007 and 4/4 just yet! and it seems like the first day of school was just yesterday. and like i should be studying.. (this is the part i start bawling.)

i wish i had a babylon candle. that and pretty hair that starts glowing when i'm happy and rested. how awesome that would be. we gave mrs alex her present and card today! well, her cubbyhole received it anyway. but i forgot to scan it because i was in such a rush. blast.

and this is a terribly put together post. let me start right from the beginning.

wednesday: made contacts! but they tire my eyes horribly. went for grandpa's dinner, where thecousins had a table all to ourselves outside the room (i maintain it was a ploy so the adults could eat in peace), and drew a few glares because the resident 6-year-old was getting very into his pokemon game.

thursday: went last-minute shopping for my shoes before meeting tsiyin at her house and dressing up. (spent half an hour trying to get the right lens in.) but practice makes perfect! i'll get it sooner or later. and then off we went to conrad centennial all dressed up! much love to tsiyin and family <3

there was much squealingandscreaming and camwhoring and eating and merrymaking. and cheering because table 3 is a wonderfully lucky table! half of us won prizes and the whole table won in a 'table luckydraw'. moley was HIGHer than usual, and not just literally. she livened up the corner our table was in!

mrs low gave a lovely speech, littered with Joy Luck references, and all the Geog girls were making puzzled faces. but i thought it was perfect. i think i will MISS my teachers very muchhh.
:'( but last night was pretty awesome, and it wouldn't have been without my tablemates.
laura, dora, mush, astrid, moley, ching, dan, jesmine, sharon, cheryl, tsi yin, desiree, yi fen. <33

today: went back to school to get our PAE pin numbers after waking with a start when i misread the numbers on the clock.

I AM GOING ON AND ON. and so i will stop until i can come up with something constructive. toodles.

I think hiatuses work better when you don't announce them.

watched Stardust today, but missed like 5 minutes of it BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY IN THE BUILDING. and this woman with lousy pronunciation kept interrupting with her repeat announcements. how to watch movie! we shuffled out, only to be told there was no emergency. so nobody knows what happened for 300 seconds.

and there was no complimentary refund no nothing. bunch of toadies >:(

anyway. i feel strangely liberated. but not enough. post-bio, sitting at the foodcourt, i looked down at my bio textbook, and "you should be studying" popped into my head. how sickening. see what the system is doing to us. ching and astrid were so stressed they ripped their entry proofs (plural of proof) apart immediately after the paper. not me, i get nostalgic. 20 years down the road, i want to look back and remark sagely before cackling at some random little sec 4 mugging on the train.

my eyes are getting tired. i need a good night's rest. finally.
sweeeeeeetbabyjames.

Cloony the Clown by Shel Silverstein

I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown
Who worked in a circus that came through town.
His shoes were too big and his hat was too small,
But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.

He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes,
He had a green dog and a thousand balloons.
He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall,
But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all.

And every time he did a trick,
Everyone felt a little sick.
And every time he told a joke,
Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke.

And every time he lost a shoe,
Everyone looked awfully blue.
And every time he stood on his head,
Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!"

And every time he made a leap,
Everybody fell asleep.
And every time he ate his tie,
Everyone began to cry.

And Cloony could not make any money
Simply because he was not funny.
One day he said, "I'll tell this town
How it feels to be an unfunny clown."

And he told them all why he looked so sad,
And he told them all why he felt so bad.
He told of Pain and Rain and Cold,
He told of Darkness in his soul,
And after he finished his tale of woe,
Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,

They laughed until they shook the trees
With "Hah-Hah-Hahs" and "Hee-Hee-Hees."
They laughed with howls and yowls and shrieks,
They laughed all day, they laughed all week,
They laughed until they had a fit,
They laughed until their jackets split.

The laughter spread for miles around
To every city, every town,
Over mountains, 'cross the sea,
From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee.
And soon the whole world rang with laughter,
Lasting till forever after,
While Cloony stood in the circus tent,
With his head drooped low and his shoulders bent.

And he said,"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT -I'M FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT."
And while the world laughed outside.
Cloony the Clown sat down and cried.
