the four clowns love wearing red

school was enjoyable today, cos i was being a weirdo by not mixing with the girls/people in class. i guess i made it really obvious.

God answered these prayers i made while trying to get to sleep yesterday:
1. helped me find normal friends in school
2. found a project group for CM Marketing

school was fun, cos i was with cailin and some of her 'NORMAL' classmates, that makes them my coursemates as well. they seem like the only 'NORMAL' ones in cmm. and within that group of NORMALITIES, one of them's from my class. YAY HOORAY. one normal classmate found. but at least someone who you can connect with quite easily. his name's Johnathon, but he prefers to be called Johnny.

and another thing to be happy about, i found a group for my marketing project to work with already. and they're all normal people. -cheers-

i think i'm going to love Med Soc (Media & Society) cos its so fun! and lectures are taught by dearly beloved Mrs Felicia Nah. she delivers her lectures really well, and its engaging all at the same time. after Med Soc was Graphics Design Fundamentals. its all about designing logos and stuff. the materials you have to bring are all really artsy things.

the lecturer for GDesFund is ms c.soonsoon. she kept giving us examples on how to market soon soon tau heuy if she were to launch her own brand of tau huey in the future. and then i thought i said it quite softly to cailin, "soon soon soon kuey". upon that, almost everyone had their eyes on me, and people from the back and front seat started cracking up. and then i heard the lecturer go, "there you go, you even have product names for me already". but i didn't know she was refering to me, until this guy from the back seat said, "that was pretty loud you know."

HAHA!

but seriously ah, if she were to ask me to design a logo for her, i'll design something like a flower growing out of a bean. and i'll change the name to Soon Soon Flower Bean. tau huey means, bean flower literally right. but i think bean flower sounds horrible. so Soon Soon Flower Bean. and then i'll change the container, to a pod like thing. which means your tau huey will be shaped like a pod. and not like the regular scooped up ones. then on the top of the tau huey, will be a mark of a flower.

would you like to join the waterpolo team?

week #1: lecture week!

today's lecture was a really really really brief introduction to Essential Graphics. mostly sitting there for just 40mins to hear the lecturer crap. and i can't believe i wasted $11.60 for cab fare cos i was just about to be late for my very first lecture in TP. i'll just compensate by not spending any unnecessary money (like on food). fyi, i really think spending money on food is quite a waste. im such a miser. -insert sappy violin music-

but anyway, IM GOING TO BE SO DEAD DOING GRAPHICS DESIGNING. shit, not like you haven't seen how an IT idiot i am. i really have to try using photoshop this week, since its only lectures this week. i feel like im so behind time. only now, im starting to get the hang of the audio recording software i 'TRY' to use occasionally. and because graphics designing will be quite a big deal in school, i can't decide whether to get a macbook pro or fujitsu.

i miss DMC 05 and the people there! mostly lynette (the swimmer), hamizah (katrina look alike) and terrence. they're the kind of friends i guess i'll never meet in tp YET.

the culture in TP is obviously different from SP. i prefer SP's comforting atmosphere, now coming to think about it. but fun aside, TP will give me more exposure and much more relevant information as compared to SP. okay, i'll just have to step out from that bubble of comfortness. actually its just the friends that im making in TP. afterall, they're not VERY NICE people, this i realise only quite recently. one's like a dog to the other, in my opinion. maybe to her, its her language of friendship - loyalty. what seems like boot licking to me. (and actually, they're just this 2 particular persons in class.)

ahhhh... i really dont know what to say. friends are the not exactly the easiest of things to find. everyone needs friends. i'm glad i have a bunch of trust worthy friends i can count on, outside school.

i'll just continue being friendly like i am, and i'll be a friend to everyone. i hope.

smile, world, smile. (:

green wing;
BUTCH label.

okay hair topic again. figured out that, my hair's pretty alright and i should just continue 'acting cool' because after all my hair's the expression of all i am WITHIN. yah right! can already hear everyone going 'yah right' together with me too. but well, let's all break free from social norms. now guys want long hair, and girls just want short hair! and its true.

that's enough for introduction.

I LOVE CREATIVE COMMUNICATION! its so fun! fyi, it's this tutorial in sp i crashed today. its damn cool and interesting and fun! sensational. well for CC today, we discussed about the topic creativity. its really cool. and i so agree with the lect when she said, "usually when you do your situational writing, the first idea that comes to your mind, throw that away." its true. which explains why i usually take THAT long just to write a essay or a 'try to be' interesting essay. she's great. she's young and pregnant.

during the lunch break, i actually met lots of familiar faces (zhenyang, ambrose, caijun, jiawei, chac and colleague) in foodcourt 6. cool, maybe its in foodcourt 6 that everyone goes to. but the food's not exactly that nice cos i had 1-tonne noodle, and the 1-tonne was doughy.

i actually miss the people from dmc 05. still i'll never forget my short little journey in sp.

farewell,
SP with DMC 05

ITS SHORT.....................!

SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE I WOKE UP IN SHOCK, BY THE STATE OF SHORTNESS UPON MY HEAD.

well let me tell you how short my hair is now, its partially shaved, and there's no hair to grab at all on the sides. that's just cos its super short. and the one long tail like thing at the back-side of my head. which is not supposed to look like a tail, but a gradual slope from the left to right.

my bro think its damn ugly, and ah lian. but its okay what, just that ah lians make it horrible, with pmk fashion and horrible sandals. they probably just have something more on their hair, PINK EXTENSIONS.

my mom was in shock when she saw me at the door. she basically disapproves of almost anything, but she'll get over it.

my dad likes it/ approves of it.

would you be happier?

CHECK THIS OUT...

HERE!

suddenly a whole lot of dilemmas come rushing through, but still, as mentioned in my earlier post, i'll still go to TP given the chance.

"... thank God for the people in SP..." this leader i called up told me that, and i agree. its tue, isn't it. used to always think SP was filled with only hokkein speaking c.p people, until i met a whole different bunch. okay, without a doubt those h.s.c.p's still dominate, but probably in the school of engineering and somewhere else, but not anywhere near the School of Business (SB, like how SP calls it).

the people i met in SP and all the fun i had, made me think deeper as to whether or not to still transfer. to be very honest, SP is one of the most comfortable places you ever want to be, cos there's no pressure on almost anything. the guys in my class are very easy to get along, because there're like only 5 guys and 17 girls. okay maybe its just 4 girls (katrina look alike, lynette the swimmer, nicola emo girl and i) who talk more to 3 guys, and the other whole group of girls talk to that one guy. and the remaining guy, he constantly runs away from orientation.

while waiting for the DTRM 05 people to dismiss, had a pretty long conversation with this guy from my class. and apparently, his friend was also from DTRM 05 and he's waiting for him as well. he's actually one of those 3 guys, that i feel very comfortable talking to. he's just very easy-going, and he's like sean goh. just not as lame. and i found out, he's a christian and a very involved christian. he plays for church, cos his church needs just an accoustic player, and his church is a traditional organ playing kind of church. then, we started talking alot about church and stuff.

and then something he said made me go, "love makes the world go blind." cos he thinks its a good trade off, that despite scoring a sky soaring 19points for his r5, he got all the love he needed from his girlfriend.

i think most of all, what i'll really miss about sp is, laughing and talking alot of nonsense with ziwei and gang (esp the foolish wit) during the long train ride. yah and also, tricking ziwei's course mates (DTRM 05) that i'm their new course mate.

DMC 05

(that's the name of my class in SP). i can't believe i'm actually accepting my fate that i'm officially in SP's Media and Communications, instead of TP's Communications and Media Management. still, i'll accept the offer to Tp no matter what, given the chance.

today's orientation in sp wasn't that bad after all. there was no chance we got to meet/mingle with people from the other schools - something worth rejoicing. today was all about ice breaking, and outdoor activities. unfortunately, we got the outdoor activities only after noon, when the sun is blazing hot. telematch was superbly fun, cos we cheated and our facilitators were the one's who encouraged it cos they wanted badly for us to win as well. it was hell fun.

our facilitators were great, cos they weren't pushy about anything, and they were fun people. love their energy, love their spirit.

there's this girl in my class, she reminds me to so much of Katrina. Her built, her big eyes, her skin tone, her actions, her dressing! and she's 10cm taller than me. i look like a dwarf beside her. she's great, very easy going, and we basically 'hung' out together for the entire orientation. and she's into death metal, but just imagine Katrina's face, and you'll probably know how she looks like already.

btw, what i can't stand about DMC, people get fake with you with their fake english slang. absolutely horrible, sounds just like a certain someone from school who faked her english and scored a D for O's. its a pity when people just try too hard.

okay people, i think we have to all go out soon again, cos i have grandma emo stories a plenty to share.

til next time...

my mother makes me cry the most

if there are any reasons why i hate my mother, it'll be because she's MERCENARY well yes to a certain extent. she just makes me feel so much like shit, everything when money is concerned in the conversation. not like i don't understand how expensive poly education is. but don't she just understand that, its my future that's at stake right now. its not about the money okay. why won't she understand.

maybe a conversation i had with her will help you all understand better.

after calling tp...
me: mommy, im on the waiting list in tp. they'll only put me in if there are people who withdraw.

mother: THEN WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAY IN SP. WHY TP SO COCK UP? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!

me: im already on the waiting list. they say people will only probably withdraw from 17th-24th.

mother: THEN WHY DON'T YOU STAY IN SP. ITS ALOT OF MONEY YOU KNOW! BY THEN THERE'LL BE NO REFUND! DON'T WASTE MONEY LA!

me: but so what? wasting that amount just for that education is ... (and then i can't carry on with her nonsense)

mother: YOU WON'T HAVE GET ANY REFUND ALREADY YOU KNOW ANOT?! AND YOU ALREADY PAID THE FEES! ITS ONE THOUSAND OVER DOLLARS!

me: i know. but if you withdraw within...

mother: I DON'T KNOW LAH. YOU GO AND ASK YOUR FATHER!

then she hung up on me.

for that moment, she made those tears fall. well forget it, i've already got it planned. no matter what, i'll still accept my offer to tp given the chance, and i'll pay my father the full amount of money he paid to sp.

i hate it. im so not going to rely on her anymore, for my future education overseas. to think i thought those few thousands i got from my pay could be saved up entirely. now she just makes me not want to rely on them to pay for my notebook in tp, if its required. i really hate her sometimes. she makes me not want to take my pocket money from her at all. but i know i have to unless i take up a job to cover for my own expenses.

but anyway, we're not in some financial crisis or any sort at the moment.

Animal Penis on the menu at new Beijing restaurant
By Ca-mie De Souza, Channel NewsAsia

BEIJING: China is well known for its exotic cuisine, from skewered scorpions to dog meat and monkey brains. Now, you can even dine in a specialty penis restaurant in the capital Beijing.

Gao Jianwu enjoys entertaining his friends at the newly opened Guolizhuang Restaurant, located beside Beijing's West Lake.

From the outside it looks like any other upmarket Chinese restaurant, but inside, it boasts an unusual dining experience.

You get a hint from this sign at the entrance which says, "What's in the pot makes you strong."

A recreated courtyard with a plush décor, it is supposed to give customers a sumptuous, classy dining experience, even if the menu is of the exotic variety

Customers, mostly businessmen and government officials, pay an average of US$25 each to feast on animal penises.

Diners can chose from cows, horses, donkeys and deer, and, for US$400, the penis of a Canadian seal.

Said Yang Wen, manager, Guolizhuang Restaurant, "The cook cleans each penis for between one and two hours. This ensures that they are hygienic. We also pay attention to the nutritional value, how long to cook them, when to turn them over. It's all part of the recipe before we serve it."

The Chinese believe you are what you eat, so it's no surprise that most diners are men eager to boost their virility, although many laugh this off, saying they are just here for the novelty.

Said customer Gao Jianwu, "I don't consider this as a cure for ailments, more of a tonic. It's ultimately food and not medicine."

Nevertheless, waitress are trained to recite tales about the vigour of the animals to customers, who sometimes get a little cheeky.

“There are times when it gets awkward for us female staff," Zhu Yan, a waitress at Guolizhuang Restaurant, said.

To broaden its client base, the restaurant staff tell customers that their signature dishes are not just for men.

They claim the exotic dishes can smooth wrinkles and fight menopausal depression in women.

But even Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners warn that one must be careful about eating animal penises.

Said Zhu Jinglong, head, Baijuntang Chinese Medicare Academy, “An excess will affect the kidneys, leading to the body over-heating, moodiness, anxiety and shortness of breath. It will affect the blood flow between the heart and the brain. In the long-run, blood vessels will oxidise and this can easily lead to a stroke." - CNA /ct
