Episode 110: saving the world, one essay at a time

Hello, you!
*yayness* i’ve finished the whole gene gang of the ism lit review! *twirls around* happiness! *yayness* missing that political forum in the process. but still. *self-satisfied smile*

heigh ho! heigh ho! up mt. loquacity, we go!
there is something intensely liberating about typing an essay and interspersing it with screaming to loud music on your iTunes and the occasional bouncing around the study room. fantastic stuff. *twideldeedeetwideldeedum*

and now i can blog with immense freedom whilst watching ‘Sweet November’ at the same time. the wonders of routers. life’s little pleasures. Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron and no essay to gnaw the cranium to bits. ah. with the history test still many days away! and the fresh discovery of NTUC stocking poppycocks! and the reese flavoured version. i can get a sugar high just thinking about it. the only thing standing between me and my crash course to candyland is the cost. $4 for 500cals. not very worth it.

and a new craft up my sleeves. ah. *twiddletwaddle* i think ‘Sweet November’ is putting me in a good mood. cute guy, cute girl, drag queens. fantastic combi. bah to having to get to church at 9am tmr to go do the church camp advertisement. but oh well. if you got to save the world you’ve got to save the world. *impish smile*

the inner artichoke has regained consciousness. the cracks are no more. i guess they only appear in times of an overdoes of nothingness. but, i am happy today. :) so there. :)

and this is how i feel now…
oh bah. this wordpress can’t add pictures. pffbt. no funny penguin picture. ah well. pshaw.

yay, what a self-indulgent post. ah well. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

till next time,
debs the conqueror

current mood: happy twirly! :)
current song:

It’s just a ride, it’s just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It’ll take you round and round
Sometimes you’re up
sometimes you’re down
It’s just a ride, it’s just a ride
don’t be scared
don’t hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don’t forget it’s just a ride

Episode 109: and the monsters come stomping out…

just when i thought that i had contentment, i was sorely tested in a matter of minutes

just when i thought that i had peace, i was confronted with a bombardment of messages

just when i thought that it was over, the cracks appear in the heart of stone

and the conflicting noises run in my head…

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

and

4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

    5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

    6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

    7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.

Ps 27
ah well. c’est la vie!

till next time,

may you live long and prosper. debs

till next time,

debs who has no tut tmr! *twirls*

eta: i lovelovelovelovelove jas’ weighing machine. *heart* beats the one at home ANYTIME. *heart* *twirls* *goes to eat some chocolate*

Episode 107: spiritual myopia

I have made You too small in my eyes
O Lord, forgive me
And I have believed in a lie
That You were unable to help me
But now, O Lord, I see my wrong
Heal my heart and show Yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song
O Lord, be magnified
O Lord, be magnified

Be magnified, O Lord
You are highly exalted
And there is nothing You can’t do
O Lord, my eyes are on You
Be magnified
O Lord, be magnified.

I have leaned on the wisdom of men
O Lord, forgive me
And I have responded to them
Instead of Your light and Your mercy
But now, O Lord, I see my wrong
Heal my heart and show Yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song
O Lord, be magnified
O Lord, be magnified

Episode 106: biped(als)

Hello, you!

so today was supposed to be my maiden voyage on a tandem bike where i would twirl my hair extensions while some beefcake scoots me around ubin.

wrong.

it became a walking trip! :) cuz alot of people couldnt ride either. ah well, i had fun. the homo sapiens had to avoid crashing into the homo cyclus (and its hybrid, the homo tandemcyclue) as well as the homo horny. I’ve seriously never seen so many spiders mate before.

anyway, these were some of the things we saw…

  1. hornbills
  2. koel (super cool kill-the-crows bird)
  3. hermit crabs and shrimp fry
  4. bluebacked ruffles
  5. civet cat faeces
  6. wild boar tracks
  7. sea almonds and hibiscus
  8. water fowl
  9. mudskippers
  10. mangroves *googoo eyes* (funny note..the cute indian guide went “oh guys please come back, i want you all to lick something. man! we licked a leaf, mangrove leaf to be exact, and could really taste the saltiness. uber!)
  11. mona stroma aka the pochai tree. pochai as in the diarrhoea pill is made from its fruit. can remember the name because aforementioned cute indian guide did a cabaret song on the name. monaaaaaa stormaaaaaaaaaa. *googoo eyes*
  12. the most beautiful butterfly mating dance i’ve ever seen. they were huge blue butterflies with white ‘eyes’
  13. a mega termite condo. i couldn’t believe the poor guys had to sacrifice their roof cuz dr p konked it off with a rock just to see the tunnels and then ask all of us to go to look cuz ‘after all the top is gone so might as well take the chance’. wow, how flippant. dude! and the amount of ant bites along the way, not very worth it! i had an ant farm before anyway. *pouts*
  14. cocoa and coffee plants
  15. alot of banana, durian and coconut trees
  16. stink bugs and stain bugs
  17. wild cinnamon

and much more. :)

the long and short of it, is the attire of course. ;) i am glad i took the advice of various people to wear jeans cuz i protected myself from the savages. those mozzies had probsicous the size of the BCG needle!! according to K., when he goes outfield, it can bite through the army camoflauge thing. oh boy. after looking at A’s legs (who sprayed half my bottle of repellent on her legs cuz she was wearing boardshorts), i am so glad for jeans. :D but nearly fainted from the heat, esp at midday no less…

while looking at the watefowl, we decided to look for mongoose too. and then a question came. whats the plural of mongoose. uh. *twiddles thumbs* i said mongeese. someone said mongi. gracious. mongi? wert!! oh and mongooses. hehehehehe

the 3-4hour walk strangely reminded me of the Switchfoot song..Only Hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

It was fun! :D talked to my other modulemates too, know most of them from transport class but still :) realised some u.sp people are seriously a little whacked out, but fun nonetheless.

i can’t wait for the next one, on 28 Feb at Sentosa!! *smirkies* *yayness* we’re going to find octopi (nono, not a strange eight sided irrational figure), sea grass, coral, stone fish, fiddler crabs and dolphins. yay! *does a mariah carey yodel* it’d be the emancipation of me-me too! cuz i would have finished ism essay and hist test. so yay!

i bet ubin is super nice at night. with little cloud cover and many stars…which reminds me of the Train song..’drops of jupiter’

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

yay :D

till next time,

debs who will be the next david attenborough (however you spell his name) or steve erwin (however you pronounce his name)

Episode 105: well-heeled

Hello, you!

i realise i’m a horse, not a clothes horse, but a horse in the way i walk. i must gallop in some wierd slow-mo sense. ok, trot. cuz the right heel of my birkies and my whacked-out-spacey-uber-cool shoes have worn out. that means i place alot of weight on my right heel, and hence walk in a trot. oh well. *struts around and heehaws*

arghs. freaks out at the amount of work needed to be done. faints.

oh small funny side note…was doing QT on Isaiah 32 and the last verse made me laugh

19 Though hail flattens the forest
and the city is leveled completely,

20 how blessed you will be,
sowing your seed by every stream,
and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.

i thought, range free…free range cattle. hahahaahah. reminded me of the chicken i saw at Cold Storage..the box said “i am a free range chicken” and “i am hormone free”. mummy and i had a good time laughing at the freezer section that day. oh well! :)

today was the day we got the sms to wear black to protest a fee hike. i wore black pants. as symbolic discontent of protesting from the bottom up. oh well. *shurgs*

till next time,

debs…who has excess pledges and a big headache.

eta: excess pledge no more! hurrah! :)

Episode 104: lawless

and you know your meet team has a law school student when he prays…

Dear God *blablabla* and may Your will for her be *pause* executed

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. guffaws. HAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA. too funny. unfortunately i was the only one paying true attention to catch it, and hence i had to supress laughing for a good fifteen minutes. hahahahahhahahahahahahahah. giggles.

Episode 103: of cycles and men

hello, you!
and so
after much laughter at having a perky ass, a wobbly David statuesque, and premonitions of looking like road kill, i still hadn’t learn how to ride a bike, or at least, not properly.
it was a REALLY fun one and a half hours spent with S, R and A who sweetly came down later. :)
it started out really badly…with S and R having to cling onto the handlebar and the back seat really tighthly while i try not to fall splat on their face or run over their toes. and it gradually got better. and i realised, that scenery motivates me to cycle better, esp, eye candy. *grins*

and in the midst of S singing ‘Postman Pat’ (for reasons why, i can’t fathom) and R saying ‘Cowabunga’ and A going ‘HAHAHAHAHAHA’, i realised that my life is blessed, with friends who are willing to teach me and laugh alongside it too. :) a sec sch friend, a jc friend and a uni friend. yayness!

oh. my butt seriously hurts beyond measure now. yowza. i will try to learn how to ride again. yay! cowabunga, postmanpat postmanpat! :)

till next time,
debs

Episode 102: five things i learnt in school today

hello, you!

1. throw away all signs of your decapitation of bears.
after monday’s episode of munching off the head of the gummy bears A. gave during methods class on monday (and making ensuing roaring noises), i forgot to throw away the packet. hence, the ants crawling out of my bag during hist class. ooops.

2. only chickens can cross roads.
was looking at a heron trying to cross the road from KRT to LT11. and the bird insisted on walking during the peak hour traffic and nearly got killed. seriously feather brained. i mean, cmon, fly, for the sake of the blood pressure of human beings watching you hoping not to become roadkill.

3. i am an NTUC plastic bag.
a modern day version of jars of clay.

4. MEET trains me well if i lose my job next time.
i can be a popiah roller, a CNY goodie maker and even a drink seller. ‘hi, after such a long talk i bet you would want a cool refreshing drink? it is only $1 and it will help support our MEET team but more importantly, please pray for us.’ repeat that ad nauseam ad inifitium. and then you sell finish. :)

5. and an ism joke.
what do you get when you cross a neo-liberal with a neo-Gramscian? a free radical. HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH.

till next time,
debs who would like you to try 3 vietnamese spring rolls for a super-worth-it price of $2.50!

Episode 101: randomness

hello, you! since i am waiting for dinner i shall post my bo-liao pictures of perth which are funny in their own right. tee hee hee. :) man, digital cameras really indulge the bo-liao spirit in me. :)


when i first reached our accomodation, the road signs were the first thing that caught my eye. for some inexplicable reason, this reminded me of the song ‘One way, Jesus, You’re the only one that I could live for’ cuz of obviously the ‘One way’ sign and the arrow-upwards was like, you know, heaven-bound. ok. i am wierd.


i like to moo-ve it moo-ve it, in a jitter-bug way.


horsin’ around with the old guy…


explains it all. i inherited the madness. innocent on all accounts.


tee hee hee

us being bo liao and trying to take a family shot in the motel…my father was giving his primordial growl at my mum and mine typical bo-liaoness. heh.

till next time,
debs
