why do all great literary classics have to be boring? is it a prerequisite??
Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man must be the most boring book i've ever read.

How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I could see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be all right
And everything will be all right
Storm - Lifehouse
ooooo this song is damn sad. the lyrics, oh the lyrics... sigh.

You
some people are just so smart and they write in such an engaging and witty manner that it simply amazes me. such insightful thoughts. acute. penetrative. how do they do it? how do they think like that? i wonder... pure genius.
i'm so dumb, i can't stand it. i wonder what it'd be like to be so intelligent, perceptive, sharp. i wonder what it'd be like to be you.
(i just had to check the dictionary to see if i spelt 'you' correctly. the word just looked so weird to me. gosh. i'm dumber than i think. maybe i've been studying too much.)

check this out!!
from today's Straits Times...
massive overhaul of Chinese teaching!!!
"change was necessary given the fact that few people can master both English and Chinese"
oh, and it took you guys THAT long to realise???
"electronic dictionaries that provide a short-cut to writing chinese characters and phrases wil become standard equiptment in class and even for examinations, reducing the need for children to memorise long lists and practise writing for hours"
wat the..?? how lucky is that?! how many of you just hated MEMORISING those damned chinese words for some stupid test? now they have dictionaies with SHORT-CUTS?! wat the hell!! now they don't have to memorise the whole bloody book of ci yu and chen yu and whatnots till the cows come home.
"emphasis will be more on listening, speaking and reading skills..."
gee. if they did that like 13 years earlier maybe now i wouldn't be getting pissed whenever i'm watching chinese shows and the bloody subtitles don't appear! like last night during the champions (yes, i watch cheesy chinese drama serials so shoot me)! they showed some poster in chinese which was integral to the plot, and i totally couldn't read and i was like "wat?wats going on??" i'm totally handicapped without subtitles and it irks me especially since i have to sit closer to the tv to read them.
"... less on writing and memorising words and phrases"
"pupils learn at their own pace"
and finally... wouldn't we all just love that?

"we're not just accidental, meaningless little chips of energy falling off the conveyor belt of cosmic evolution, indistinguishable from billions of others. We know we're unique, precious, have meaning, and are made for a special destiny." - article in the Catholic News
heh i like the conveyor belt analogy... funny! although i think it was meant to be serious and not funny. haha.

I'm a nocturnal creature
it's 2am and i'm not sleepy when the whole freakin day i was struggling to keep my eyes open! weird. like once it's past 7pm or 8pm i perk up. now i don't think i could fall asleep even if i wanted to. so tmr i'll end up waking only after 12. this is terrible.
ok i know my posts are damn boring. other than reporting my sleep patterns i have nothing else to say. so, bye.

T.S.Eliot: The Wasteland. You are a desperate cry
to God, moulded in intricate word-craftmanship.
Your language is controlled, but inside, you
feel empty and are not content with your life.
You see both the world and your inner self as a
waste land: nothing good can come out of it
anyway. People find you difficult to understand
but admire you nevertheless.
Which literature classic are you?
brought to you by
eh this is so true! except for the admire me part lah. dun think anyone does. haha.

Update on lizard experience
told mom abt it last night and she scolded me for not telling her earlier!! hahaha.. cos she drank from it already. lol. then she say i sabo her. so we have a new kettle today. hah. but this one also doesn't have a cap!! as in at the mouth (is tt wat u call it? where the water pours out) there. wah lao. so wats the point?? the same thing could happen again! argh. my mudder...

Paranoia
i have this fear now of lizards popping out of everywhere! now when i wanna use the microwave i check to see there's no lizard inside (wouldn't want it in my food right!?). which leads to me fearing that i'd find a lizard buried in my noodles. ugh!! crap.. i fear the whole bloody kitchen! lizards may just run past me! it's happened before k. eeeeeeks. so now i make sure the lights are on first, then i'll look around suspiciously, and when the coast is clear (or so i think), i'll make my way around.. slowly and cautiously.
anyways.. my dad doesn't wanna get a new kettle!! he went something like, "won't die one lah. you see all the things they eat on tv..." gosh.. so typical of him. maybe my mom will budge. haven't told her about it yet.
and now i don't dare to use my bottle! sighhhh. even tho i think the lizard didn't touch it. i THINK. there's still that nagging 0.000001% doubt.
damn you, lizard!!

wat the hell
my asian american lit essay has been extended! under normal circumstances i should be happy. except that i've already done it!! argh! wah lao! today is the bloody deadline can! then today then he decides to extend thanks to the pleas of other pathetic students?!??!?! wtf?! i spent the last two days pia-ing for tt essay, leaving only today to complete my modern period essay. who the hell gives extensions on the day of the deadline?!
and the modern period also.. the other class gets an extension but mine doesn't!?!??! obviously the other class will get an unfair advantage right.
i never knew this extension of essay thing was possible until this sem. seriously, i think if we're given a deadline we should just stick to it. if you're too busy to complete it then it's your own damn problem. go figure a way to finish it. it think it's just irresponsible... not too mention UNFAIR!!! it's as good as cheating. now those who haven't finshed it yet will get the whole freakin weekend to do it, while ppl like me are prolly gonna do badly for it and for the paper due tmr as well! BAH!
at this point in time i'd just like to say... fuck it lah! hahaha. dun think i've ever used this word on my blog before. always thought it's not very err... nice to do so. haha.. but self censorship is bad. might have side effects? i should use this word more often. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! lalalalalaaaaaah! bye.
