Episode 213: the portrait from the window
The branches were bowed with the weight of the rain, just as the leaves were encumbered by the mist. Antecedent moisture, you say? No. Prior to this, it was a drought and the cracks had appeared on the surface. Tessellated patterns across the ceramic clay of the boundless earth. The rays filtered through the clouds, forming an intricate lattice across the ground. So fragile, any movement would destroy it. Today, the veil was lifted, and the lace was torn.
No more.
Cup my face and tell me the answer, when you find it.
Episode 212: double double-jeopardy
*intro music*
Enters Regis, with wide smile, introducing contestants. Let’s begin a round of double-jeopardy!
A: Asean accepted vietnam, laos and cambodia into it’s fold because they became non-communist. (and then go on and on about it for a third of a term paper on why this makes Asean effective as a regional organisation as it interfaces with nationalism and globalisation)
Q: What is…stupidity? and carelessness. and ARGHNESS
———————-
A: Lightning streaking across a clear blue sky when traipsing home from smcland. and there can be humongoid gray clouds over half your hdb block and shiny skies over the other.
Q: What is…mega freaky weather changes and screaming children? [it's all your fault you people who use plastic bags!]
———————-
A: e-z-link card issued by cretin uni which cannot be topped up at any amount less than $10 even though the typical minimum sum is $5. no amount of wheedling with mr-i-is-a-bureaucrat-masquerading-as-station-control-person that you’ve only got $5.95 and stupid machine refuses to accept your atm card helps your case. at all.
Q: What is…the duplicity of transportation policy?
———————-
A: A dinner appointment being cancelled one hour before you are due at the place.
Q: What is…the height of bad manners?
———————-
and the winner is, me! *applauds*

all the world’s a stage, and all it’s men [sic], merely players.
Episode 211: randomness
walking to the toilet, this guy’s teeshirt read
Haikus are easy
Sometimes they do not make sense
Refrigerator
and my thoughts went:
um, yeah, whatever
you are totally bo-liao
Shiny marshmallows
—————————–
the bag is breaking, it is unravelling at the seams. one day, everything is going to spill out, and then, it’d be no more. no more. emptiness. a God-shaped vacuum. the butterflies will take the colours away with them.
Episode 210: infuriated
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW, YOU EEJIT?
argh. angry look
Episode 209: in the end
22000 words, 6 presentations, 3 projects, 3 tests, 2 jobs.
it has been one helluva long semester.
Yet, after all that’s been said, done (and written), this semester was good. and mr c. s. lewis says it best in two ways
1) On friendship
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.
Friends brought me through. 
with all that “ARGH STAB YOUR STUPID EYEBALL YOU STINKING NUT FOR GIVING ME SO MUCH WORK” communal ranting, it was catharthic. more importantly, at the last lap, especially the last thursday of school when I had to wrestle with evil cultural essay from hell, when people said they prayed, i truly believed it.
oh and for posterity’s sake
2) Education
Education, without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
grappling with issues which went against the central tenet of what I believe in this semester was (and still is!) tough. I don’t know how I’ll answer my exam question, but I do hope the answer brings glory to God’s name.
—————————————-
and at the end of it all, I can only say, God is good, He doesn’t send us more than we can bare.
What can I do
but thank You
What can I do
but give my life to You
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
What can I do
but praise You
everyday make everything
I do
a Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Episode 207: i wish school was fun
why, what big cheeks and teeth you both have. all the more to have frawress appearance, miss ah beng.
going home today in gayboy’s car was quite saddening. in his attempt to lower my grades, he’s decided to go matchmaking for me so as to distract me from studying.
*usual bantering* and then…
me: aiyah i got very short term attention span, like i cannot imagine spending 50 years with the same person, i think i’d die of boredom
gayboy: you know why, (and in a really serious tone) you love yourself too much. until you cannot love another person the same way you enjoy your own company.
*silence*
and then we went to buy toilet paper.
aiyoh. the Bible says to love your neighbour as yourself. i try la, huh? *whimpers*
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart
Episode 206: the straw that broke the camel’s back
