i lost my pencil.

i think i left it in Lit.

kim: why are you all wet?
andrew: because i drink water wrongly.

he's in pain, that boy, because

"the dota server has been down for more than a week."
"HAH?!"
"yes, you heard me right. don't make me say it again. it hurts."

i'm in pain because i've lost my pencil.

i'm on day 3 of the swearing rehabilitation. is it some rule that when you're trying not to swear, and you realize you've just done it, you'll swear again? and again?

"$#!% that hurts. ah, $#!%, i swore. %#!%, did it again."

in trying to get rid of this habit, i've realized just how bad it's gotten. i'm quite amazed at the number of times i have to check myself and replace the word with something more PG-13. aside from that, the punishment that has been imposed every time i swear now holds for two weeks, i'd say.

i lost my pencil.

i feel a need to write. got the feeling during the easter break and maybe with the loss of my pencil, my lack of inspiration at the time has come back to haunt me. or i'm just really deluded.

yes.
if it doesn't, it's probably not love.

CONGRATULATIONS

to sharon and william
i told you i'd do it XD

stopped by john's house with mum the other day. just let me say this: their backyard is freaking amazing. EVERYTHING is edible. his mum is freaking amazing. she takes care of it. it's all just freaking amazing. i really should stop saying freaking amazing.

there was basil, chinese vegetables, lemongrass, spring onions and a variety of other vegies and herbs that i can't remember right now. i walked round the back and saw an orange tree. then sam asked "is that an apple tree?" and you know what? it was an apple tree. WITH APPLES. and i'm pretty sure i saw something that looked like yams.

there was a creeping plant there and when she told us what it was, we were all kinda stunned.

dragonfruit.
the woman has dragonfruit in her backyard. you know what else she has growing back there? PASSIONFRUIT.

and she has at least three varieties of chilli.

she's got these normal ones.

and she's got these fat green ones.

then she's got these.and i think they are just so pretty.
they start to look kinda weird if you stare too long though.

if i could paint you red
like the passionate feel
it might not be colourful
but at least it'd be real

lesson #5887 in battling stupidity

chemistry may be the most boring subject on earth taught by the most boring teacher on earth, but DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SPACE OUT.
because you'll find that when you're cramming the night before for a test on gas preparation [of the non-flatulent kind], that the teacher has actually mentioned that he will only be testing three of them, and has in fact told you which three he will be testing you on. not only that, you've already attempted to save irrelevant information on your 12Kb brain memory which is just a total waste of time, energy, and school fees.

aaron told me about the bravest and most selfless little guy ever.

a jack russell terrier named George saved five children from being attacked by two pitbulls in new zealand yesterday. the little dog jumped in to defend the children [aged between 4 and 7] from being mauled by the two rabid pitbulls.

little George tried to protect the kids by "barking and rushing at them [pitbulls], but they started to bite him - one on the head and the other on the back."

just so you know what it's like.... imagine this...

vs.

two of this

George died.

he had to be put down because he was ripped to shreds.

Darryl Wilson, 4, holds a photo of George the Jack Russell, with the dog's owner, Alan Gay, left, and Richard Rosewarne, 11, Christian Rosewarne, 8, and Kelly Rosewarne, 10, in the background. Photo: Nic Gibson/Taranaki Daily News
i really like this photo. and yes, the owner's name is alan gay. get over it.

george is such a brave little dog. i won't call his death a waste, because it wasn't. his life actually meant something. and yes, i am aware it sounds a little stupid to be writing of an animal in this way.

but if only more dogs, more people, would do what he did for those children. no, not get mauled by two apeshit dogs almost frothing at the mouth. you know what i mean. do something that would make your existence worth something in the end. George probably had a far more intrinsic value to his owner in terms of companionship than anyone could know, but it's really this - his saving these children - that will forever endear him in the hearts of people.

a few months ago, i had a little chat with jess's brother, james. james is a cute little guy of about... five? six years old? something like that. i was sitting next to him in the car one day and we were having a great conversation.

yes, i had a riveting conversation with a child 10 years younger than me.

he was telling me about his birthday [which is in august. we spoke in march]. he was all excited about it because he was having a party at McDonalds!!

then he said this. i start each sentence on a new line because he pauses between each one and seemingly reflects on what he just said.

"i'm going to invite alllll my friends.
"mostly boys.
"maybe a few girls. i don't know yet.
"but mostly boys.
"i like boys."

it's funny how he says it in all innocence. but to anyone who's lost that little boy outlook on life, it's just wrong. jess has expressed concerns before when she's seen james hugging other little boys, but they're 5 man. it's OKAY when they're little.

probably should try to avoid "guy on guy" action when you're 16 tho. or "guy on guy on guy" action in some cases [it's amazing what an accidental push can result in XD].

james is adorable. but i've seen him on and off for three years now, and he's still the same size. it's... actually quite freaky.

smarter people

some pissed looking aussie girl on big brother:

"... it's not that i don't get it. what gets me is your hypo-, hypocriticism, hyp- hypocricism - is that a word?" *continues scolding*

cue to change the channel before your IQ leaks out of your nose.


was talking to tim. it inevitably led to insults and threats.

"i didn't know someone so small could make me so scared. like a little piranha or something. small... yet... deadly. imagine it's a movie trailer."

[edit]: read tim's revenge. took him 30 minutes.

banban

mo's been watching grey's anatomy [mcDreamy, mcSteamy, mcWhatever] and suddenly, everyone has a mcName [registered trademark].

moey - mcStumpy self explanatory
will - mcSmoothie because he's smooooth. literally.
sharon - mcLame just because.
jo - mcCrap cause he said the mcNames are crap
jess - mcChicken because she is chickenling
putri - mcPut because the guys say she goes putput
ritz - mcGay? hey, the guys made these up.
albie - BigMac because he is... big.

and for some obscure reason, i'm called mcBanana.

no, not because i'm yellow on the outside and white on the inside. it's because i sometimes bring bananas to school to eat, and the guys find this hugely amusing.

hey, they're really good for you, AND they're easy to peel.

once when will wanted to talk to me, instead of saying "kim, kim!", he accidentally said "banana, banana!". it was a slip of tongue, but this too was deemed exceedingly amusing, and i was stalked to intro calc by three guys calling me banana.


it's a curse. my friends [totally different set of them] debated about the virtues of apples over bananas [or vice versa] and one of them made up a song. it was about a chief, a kim [more specifically, this kim], and many, many bananas. imagine if you will a song made up entirely of various combinations of just two words.

KIM BANANA KIM BANANA KIM BANANA KIM BANANA
the chief has a thing about people who are named KIM.
KIM BANANA KIM BANANA KIM BANANA KIM BANANA
the chief has a thing about people who are named KIM.
KIM BANANA KIM BANANA KIM BANANA KIM BANANA
nananananaannnnnananananaannaan (x8)

no. i do not know who the chief is.

and no, you cannot call me banana.


[edit] moey just reminded me of a few mcNames i missed.
sennie: mcCow because that's what mo calls her
jen: mcPeaches decide this for yourself
michelle: mcChippy no idea
yan: mcPorky yes, moey is mean

and perhaps the best one of all...
tze chiang: mcBastard

brbs and spelling

pft... look what you get when you cross a science student with psychology101.

"why do you think nursery rhymes rhyme? rather than hey diddle diddle, the cat on the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon because it was travelling upwards at terminal velocity when it hit the gravitational stratosphere and was propelled via force of mass around the moon and back toward earth"

credit goes to finny for this one.


had an interesting conversation with sean about blog content about ten minutes ago. we discussed [whoa... DISCUSSED] how some people blogged very well, while others, not so well. it's a matter of opinion, essentially, but we both agreed that the blogs that are generally less engaging are the ones that go through the blogger's daily routine in minute detail.

the truth is, we don't need to know that you're cooking your instant noodles at this precise moment, and there is really no need to say "brb" when your pot boils over because it's not like you're talking on msn. [yes, someone said "brb" in their post, then said "back" in the next line.]

the blogs that i personally enjoy reading are the ones where the blogger can write of things other than what they wore to school or how many pimples they sprouted that day. i'm not saying you can't talk about your day at all, but "i woke up, then i brushed my teeth, shat a little, had toast, peanutbutter even though i wanted kaya but we ran out of kaya so shit right? so i had to have peanutbutter oh brb i need to go pee now" is just... a bit much.

the thing that really gets me about some blogs though, is how they don't use proper english. it's not that they can't spell, juz dat itz cooler to, lyk, have ur own way of spelin stuff, u noe? no use spelin proper or usin corect gramar coz dis iznt skul. ryte? even when i try really hard,i still can't replicate exactly that dialect that these select few seem to be able to comprehend. english is a wonderful language that comes complete with it's own spelling and phonetic system. use it. and don't add "nehh" to the end of every sentence. you're not japanese.

sorry to the people who write like this. i'm pedantic about my spelling.

maybe i'm being a tad hypocritical considering i tend to blog about what my day's been like about 80% of the time. damn, people probably think my blog is really stupid and shallow, and here i am criticizing the blogs that might be just a variation of my own. and most people know my spelling mistakes are usually of the extremely stupid kind.

so, in case i'm on your "annoying blog" list. i apologize. truly. i do.

but this opinion of mine is entirely my own problem. it's got nothing to do with how proficient people are with their language, or how they prioritize their writing. it's got to do with how i respond to it in context of my own use of the language. maybe i come off snobby, or silly. that's okay.

i probably am.

a lit joke

teacher: who was mary shelley married to?
william: frank.

laugh, dammit!

Mary Shelley was married to English poet P.B. Shelley. she was also the author of Frankenstein. it's never funny when you have to explain the joke.

then again, it probably isn't funny anyway. i was the only person in class who cracked up when i heard it. and people were looking at me and thinking "what the shit?".

wood, paint, springs, and love

yesterday, i got a warm feeling inside.

we were driving out of brockman park when sam suddenly went

"eee.. look at the businessman in the playground."

so i looked, and i saw this little family of three in the park playing in the playground. the first thing that caught my attention was the mother rocking the little girl on one of those horses with springs underneath. you know them? yeah.

only she was rocking the thing really, really fast. it looked almost violent. and she was laughing. the little girl just sat there being thrown back and forth by the motion, and the mother continued laughing.

that amused me to no end.

there are two of those rocking horses in the playground, and the father was sitting at the other one, rocking back and forth like a child.

it made me smile; it made me happy. because there he was, still in his suit and tie from work, shamelessly squashed onto a rocking horse designed for a child thirty years younger, watching his wife and daughter laughing and playing, at the same time leaving all his adult concerns behind and just appreciating what God's given him.

i only saw the scene for a whole of maybe ten seconds. but it gave me a lovely feeling for the rest of the day because i knew that no matter what kind of crap life throws at you, coming home to people that love you, more importantly, to people that you love, will make you feel like it's all worth it.

and it's alright to let go. it's ok to have your pants above your ankles and look stupid and oversized on a wooden horse on springs; it's ok to have people passing by in cars laughing at you. because once in a while, someone will walk past, and it'll make them happy to see you happy.

funny how it works, ey?

rufti lumours

school starts tomorrow.

whoopee.

let's not talk about this.

the refreshments out back today at church were really sweet. some wintermelon thing and another sweet thing [DOUDOUCAIBANG... no idea] that nobody had ever seen before. we were all eating it when kynan came by and said "hey, don't you think this tastes like lip balm?". then all us girls started gagging cause you know what? it did taste like lip balm. so gross.

kfc for lunch. said jane "we're eating fast food for lunch every sunday until we can find a good and little known chinese restaurant that is close by." then as an afterthought... "and cheap."

i ignored all the work i am yet to do before tomorrow in favour of watching a taiwanese serial. this interest i suddenly have in asian dramas was borne from boredom. and now it's a welcome refuge from doing work. we finished watching it started with a kiss today, which i actually quite liked because it's DAMN FUNNY. yes, i actually understood the jokes even though they were in chinese.

at the same time i can't help feeling that each episode i watch is a waste of my life. which it probably is. BUT... i'm learning chinese. my chinese vocabulary has benefited greatly from watching it. if i ever have to confess my love to some guy in chinese, i can do it with no problems.



something disturbing and wrongly funny at the same time. this is based on a true story. my friends in m'sia told me about this. names have been changed just in case. in case of what i dont know. but just in case.

btw, background info: barney is actually gay. he sms-es fred one day. the written transcript is courtesy of shitspitter. taken from onceuponatime. i backspaced some of the really super wtf disturbing shit shitspitter put in. do NOT read if you're very homophobic.

*notes for non-malaysians. perasan is kinda like... when someone isn't actually referring to you but you think they are. and pei in this case means be by your side.


barney:Hi, how r you? how was ur lovely day n ur lovely self?
fred:Well, my day is alrite, wat about yours?

-[B]barney starts to perasan that fred LOVES him at the moment where he replied barney's sms.-

barney:so wat r u doin now?
fred: im juz watching tv and thinking about something.

-barney starts to perasan again, he thinks that fred is thinking about him.-

barney: i think that ur really really cute fred. (he wanted to say sexy, hardcore, gorgeous too, but that's too 'rough' for the first time, maybe the next time.)
fred: owh...erm..thanks. you too...

-this time, barney is really perasan already, he's goin in for the kill-

barney: so do u wanna be my boyfriend??? i promise that i will treat you real good n pei u till the end of time n i promise you, i swear to god that i will NEVER BACKSTAB u in my life.
fred: huh??
barney: I also promise to love and care you, in sickness or in hardship, till death do us part.

5 minutes later,

barney: Why no reply de???
fred: erm, i was bz.
barney:oh ok, well i love you babe, MuAkZzzz NerHZzzZ..
fred: erm....Okaayy...(by saying Okaayy, barney thinks that he has accpeted him and is allowed to kiss him n stuff.)
barney: ok then babe, i gtg shuffling now...msg u later k?
fred: ok, bye.
barney: and oh, btw juz to let you know, im very PRO in shuffling, and some people call me the SHUFFLE GOD.
fred: okok. byebye
barney: ok, bye....S@aRanG H3yoH~~~ MuaKzZZz neErHZzzZ...


now do you know why he's called shitspitter? it was a lot more graphic before editing. and apparently, the sms-es really did go like that, but with less bunga la. barney did tell fred he was cute, and he did ask fred to be his boyfriend. where got shit like this happen everyday one?

damn, the manglish came out.
