I'm an Idiot Savant

Addendum: Come to think of it, I kinda object to the fact that my polar opposite is "the Wit". I very moron meh? (Don't answer that.)

the Idiot Savant
(38% dark, 50% spontaneous, 47% vulgar) your humor style:
VULGAR | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT

You like things silly, immediate, and, above all, outrageous. Ixne on the subtle word play, more testicles on fire, please. People like you are the most likely to RECEIVE internet forwards--and also the most likely to save them in a special folder entitled 'HOLY SHIT'.

Because it's so easily appreciated, and often wacky and physical, your sense of humor never ceases to amuse your friends. Most realize that there's a sly intelligence and a knowing wink to your tastes. Your sense of humor could be called 'anti-pretentious'--but paradoxically enough, that indicates you're smarter than most.

WAH! UNBELIEVABLE CONGEE

Saw this rather ipoddy whopper of a poster on the outside of a cafetaria/restaurant under-renovation near Bras Besah around school. I snickered and just had to take a photo.


Fear Factor/Guinness Book of Records/Ridley's Believe it or not/"What's this rat doing in my congee" unbelievable? or "Well this tastes rather nice" unbelievable?

I suspect it be the former, since congee isn't exactly much of an orgasm-inducing delicacy. Rat soup however...

But isn't it invigorating just to stare at the poster?! The copywriter must have been on Prozac or Speed or imbibing some really funky vodka-laced congee.

Smusaic Ann Siang Phototrip

This be my first Smusaic Phototrip despite the fact that I was suppose to have been in Smusaic since Vivace last year. Anyhoo, I didn't have a camera till after last term mah, so...

But the inclement weather was less than co-operative and we soon learnt that rainy skies do not a good phototrip make. And most of the photos, you'll realise, were not from around Ann Siang because we soon abandoned the phototrip to go see a photo exhibition at the National Library. Though the rain made it hard for us to take nice photos, it sure gave us much reason to eat at various places, which led some of the freshies to feel like they were in the Gourmet Club instead.

Nonetheless, here are the shots I managed to get.

I was slow on this one, but I think it looks more interesting this way anyway what hor? Ok, shut up...

Stamford House in the Day

Been polishing up my Photoshop skills. Here's my latest salvaged photo:


Stamford House in the day.

The problem with this one was that the sky was not blue enough and the building had a green cast. But the blurred vehicles just made the photo seem too good to throw out. So I applied a masked cool filter to the sky and a masked warm filter to the buildings and gave it's levels a tweak.

This other one here is more of a counter-example:


I went crazy with this one and gave it a rather faux blue sky effect. The overlaying of different bracketed exposures also gave some of the objects rather odd colours that I couldn't fix.

Photographic Arty Farts

All was not lost. I still managed to cobble together a few good ones before I gave up on my schizophrenic camera.

Stamford House and Li Ka Shing Library.

Footnote: My camera has since recovered from it's psychiatric illness after a hearty dose of good old percussion maintenance. Yay!

It's Econs Orientation Camp Day! aka Freshie Beoing Day!

I went to school today for two reasons.

One, to measure the relative feng shui of the different GSRs, as you guys already know from the last post.

Two, to take some pictures of the City Campus and about the area.

Unfortunately reason number two was cut short due to my malfunctioning camera (I know, it's only been like 3 months!). As a result I went to the BBQ finale of the Econs Orientation Camp instead. Luckily the camera was not entirely damaged, just erratically malfunctioning. So I was still able to take some photos. Notice however the total lack of pictures of freshies. Yes, it is that bad.

But anyway:

Marginally inebriated Master Jedi Jiamin showing young Padwan Ben how to wield his first light saber.

GSR 26/34 peeps!

Jiamin and I were in school today looking at the various properties available to us. This one is a particular gem. It is big, but it is also at SESS instead of LKCSOB.



To illustrate:

Here are pics with Jiamin in them for comparison. Notice how you can't discern his face. Now you will agree with me that any room in which you can't discern Jiamin's face from the other end must be a good room.

Edit: 3.18 it is.

40 fucking years of Sang Nila Utama!?! Enuff lah hor!

NDP 2005... could have fooled me. I caught a glimpse of this year's NDP celebrations today, which made me wonder why they don't just play the tape of last year's freakin' Sang Nila Utama skit. Or for that matter 2003's... or 2002's or any freakin' one from the NDP's we ever had!

It has become some kind of a habit-forming addiction that Singaporeans just HAVE to see a faux Sang Nila Utama come out in some rickety cardboard box, followed by faux Stamford Raffles come out in another rickety cardboard box, and then faux Japanese soldiers on faux bicycles, this day of the stupid year!!! ARGH!!!

Just because we have admitted before that we are a culturally and creatively barren nation doesn't mean we need stop trying! Is there no modicum of creative vigour in our small country that we have to keep recycling last year's shit? Are we not having enough fibre in our diet? What is with this constipation!?!

ARGH!!! Now they have included recent history! Asian Financial Crisis! SARS! What are they going to do now, have a faux Nurse come out in a rickety cardboard box?

Come on morons-who-design-this-shit, I know we have a very short history, I know we are a young country. Therefore, this is precisely why there is really no need to keep rehashing what happened just yesterday!!!

I can do that. Albeit less politically correctly.

I can just imagine 60 years from now, when I'm 82, the country is 100 and my bladder is mechanical, you know what I'll see on NDP? A faux Lee Kuan Yew coming out in a rickety cardboard box of course... what else? (This is presuming LKY is already dead by then, which arguably may not have actually come to pass.) And I will crap my pants right there.

Fire Works! Yeah it does! Especially for burning anal Singaporeans

Audrey, Chery-the-neh, Glen, Jiamin, Joy and I went to a certain area near the National Stadium to watch the fireworks last night. We were shortly joined by some of our fellow anal Singaporeans who feel that they should be entitled to park their cars anywhere they wish, including in front of a military installation gateway.

Well, up yours. And screw your kids. God gave you and your little shits limbs to perambulate and jerk off you big fat pail of diarrhoea.

Anyway, here are the nice pictures.


The calm before the storm.


More calm before the storm.


The fireworks began with a real slow sputter. It was like a constipated fireworks display.


And then the shit erupted.

The night the Ah Bu had to go

Huiru and I went to send Ah Bu off at the airport. We went to Swensen's for ice cream and food.


Ah Bu's last display of his immense patriotism for our lovely nation before he left for Australia.

After sending Ah Bu off, we went to visit Glen at his 'marvellous' Cheng Ho exhibition thingy. He decided to leave work early and we went to take photos.

Glen looking pensive. Glen looking like a gigantic face monster about to gobble up the skyline.


Glen and Huiru. Glen and Huiru in slow synchro.

After that, we went to the Foodloft at Marina Square.
