Our duty to the Party

As I was revisiting 1984, I happened across a few phrases in Newspeak which consequently induces me to teach you, dear reader, George Orwell's Newspeak. Okay, I would not call it teach, but rather, enlighten. (Newspeak-Oldspeak aka English)

doublepluscold- superlatively cold
doubleplusgood- excellent, superlatively good
speedful- rapid
speedwise- quickly
goodwise- well
plusuncold- warm
undark- light
unlight- dark
goodthink- orthodoxy
crimethink- thought crime, meaning thinking something against the Party
thinkpol- Thought Police
goodsex- chastity (wt....)
joycamp- forced-labour camp

good, gooder, goodest

Ingsoc- English Socialism

The very concept of cutting language into little fragments and joining them together with other words seems so sinful, as you can see from the Newspeak vocabulary above. Imagine, if we were all forced to speak like that. Words will certainly lose their power. Imagine me typing "My day doubleplusgoodful" when all I wanted to say was "My day was bloody brilliant". Which one sounds better? You tell me.

The sole object of Newspeak, if you have read Nineteen Eighty-Four was to limit the people's vocabulary into politically correct monosyllables which sound like a duck's quacking. Imagine Malaysia Today trying to condemn the present government in ever-so-limited words. Bloody funny article that would make.

This is my second semester at Nilai. And we are differentiating exponentials. Bloody Blogger does not allow me to show my Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 equation. And yeah, we learnt how to use Microsoft Word to type in equations and all last semester. Anyone need help locating the equation editor, you are welcome to ask me. I am rarely that generous. Just do not take advantage of it.

Oh and finally, just because I have not gotten a "girlfriend" after so long a time which is usually the time taken for the average teenager to get a so-called life partner, it does not mean I swing the other way or anything. Somebody in my college asked me if I liked looking at girls as KL has quite a lot of pretty ones. I said, not much, I don't like to waste time. I was then asked if I preferred looking at guys.

***************

I do not have to swear on the Bible or anything to prove I am innocent of homosexuality (like the current situation happening here). I have nothing to prove to anyone. So what? I'll get a woman at 30 and marry at 40. (I think....)Sue me.

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Turn up the Radio!

Aw right people. Face the music. It's one of those times of the year where Sumatera fan their winds of fwendship and spread their definitely warm and smoking love to us. Aah, we can definitely boost foreign relations like this. Then here we have an idjit doing some unauforised burning to cleah his lands for some purported agricultural activity. F you. No-friggin-body gave you clearance to open burn.

On anuvver bleaker note for you human rights people, one of our local Nike (pronounced Naii-kayyy) factories have been operating under less than desirable circumstances, which breach Nike's Code of Conduct. Passpawts of foreign workers are being wiffheld. All just because some greedy bawstard wants to make some extra cash. "All humans are equal, but are some more equal than others"?

I ahve been ahving the fever since Friday but it has subsided now. I have been downing so much 100 PLUS it feels like I'm almost at 10 Drowning Street. Just kidding, I know it's Downing. Problem is, do you? hehe.
So anyways, imagine eating sugary and candy-assed sweets for mealtimes and you would not be very far off what I ate for my 3 meals. Bread, and jam. Somebody pass me a burger this fucking instant.
