The Teenage Jokebook

"Common sense and logic - not needed in a book about teenagers."

"Chung Kai was also not too bright, but generally happy-go-lucky. You would be surprised to learn, however, at this moment (a) he wasn't feeling very happy, (b) he wasn't going anywhere, and (c) he wasn't feeling very lucky."

"If you think playing the part of a Moron in public is degrading (and I would agree that playing with anyone's parts in public is degrading), then you might wish to try the Mumbler approach."

"If dresses had names, this would have been called the Social Welfare dress, because it had no visible means of support."

"Without help from friends, a person suffering from 2B (Breakup Backlash) needs about two weeks to recover. On the other hand, if that person's friends offer sympathy and support, 2B can take only about fourteen days to cure."

"If your answers are all (c)'s then you are neither romantic nor horny (i.e. you are a true Singaporean)."

"Mui Ee remembered in the old days when Sissy told her nightly of her various adventures with so-and-so, and how she was always having brief flings with boys flinging their briefs - or so it seemed."

" 'In fact, I really believe that a man's family name reflects his character. What's your surname?'

'Loo,' answered Kok Sean."

"If you think you're going to be late then cancel the date. Give standard excuses (e.g. "my dog died", or "I've just rescued a five-month-old from the river")."

"What do you expect? You pay peanuts, you get monkeys."

And our personal favourite...

"The boy had always wanted to drive very badly. Today, he was indeed driving very badly."

The Teenage Textbook, despite being written close to twenty years ago, is good stuff. Thanks to JY, my roomie and I have been laughing out loud while reading, which is a rather rare experience. The next conquest - The Teenage Workbook!

Ella ella ella

I love pop culture because people can relate to it. It's popular. You could argue with popularity, but you'd be wrong! Anyway, MadTV has decided to add a sprinkle of politics to Rihanna's Umbrella and the result is hilarious! I've watched it thrice already, and I'm usually not fan of parodies but this one had me laughing till the cows came. Home.

Passion - No Other Way To Live

The deaths of the 5 dragonboaters in Cambodia had an impact on a lot of us, despite not knowing them personally. They're all about our age and we know someone who knows someone who knows them. From what I've learned, they were all outstanding people of their respective communities. I'm saddened by their passing and what happened has also impressed upon me the fragility of life. We don't know when and where Death will take us. The only thing we have control over is what we're doing at the moment. I'm inspired by how they were living their dreams and following their passion. Some people go through their lives without feeling like they've lived, and these guys went through theirs pushing the boundaries, seeking adventure and living on the edge. I've got much respect for them.

It serves to remind us that we should live for the moment, and make every breath worth taking.

"When death becomes the reason for living,
Life however difficult it may be,
Doesn't seem so taunting..."

Goofy the Joker

20 Nov 2007 - The day I had my History exam, which was stated explicityly on my blog.

I received an SMS from Guo Fei at 14:23.

GF: Wanna meet for dinner at 5? I treat you anything.

So I was thinking, "Woah, is the man in some kind of trouble? Does he really miss me that much? Why is he so determined to meet me that he'd even offer to treat me dinner?" It's not that GF's not generous, but it was quite out of the blue. It didn't even strike me as weird that he wanted to have dinner so early. So I replied in a nice and slightly apologetic tone. Slightly.

JKYH: Bro i exam at 5 finish at 730!

A few moments later...

GF: Dont want then dont want lo ! Haha good luck ! You think i purposely choose that time to treat you for wad :) see ya soon!

I was stunned. And then I felt dumb for being tricked. I smiled... because it's great to know that someone would take the time to send a funny SMS, disturb me, and wish me luck for the exams.

JKYH: !!! Damn! Don't care lo Wah purposely disturb me lo. You die already... Haha... Owe me a treat! Thanks!

Aimless

Okay, yeah so the first day after the exams have been rather aimless. I've finished season 1 of Heroes, which was amazing. I was really impressed by the standard of the storytelling. I watched the first ten episodes a rather long time ago, and within these two days I finished the last 7 episodes of the season. Of course that means that I haven't watched the middle section but it didn't, in any way, affect the pleasure of watching the finale! Brilliant stuff. I haven't seen anything from Season 2 yet, but I'm quite sure I'll get acquainted with it in due time.

Other than that I've been reading The Teenage Textbook, despite no longer eligible to be termed as a "teenager", surfing the internet, and planning my holiday. It seems that I've gotten myself involved in one too many activities. Hopefully it means that I'll have a fulfilling holiday and not a rushed and tired-out one, although it would most likely be the case!

Anyway, since exams aren't over for most of my friends, I'm not out of the "mood" yet! In fact, I even had a short dream that I had an exam the following day and I'm not studying for it when everyone is! The latter is of course true, but my silly brain forgot that I've already finished exams! Rawr. Daniel has been studying real hard. Liqi also has two more papers next week which I think I will study with him just because it's kind of interesting to get re-acquainted with amino acids, protein structures, ion channels, lipids and carbohydrates. It's been awhile.

I could get used to being this relaxed, but I just want to make the best of this holiday. I need to get tuition jobs again for next year dammit. It's tiring but I'm not giving up being self-sufficient just so I can slack.

The hols sound exhausting already...

It's Over

Thansk to everyone who congratulated me on the end of my exams. I'm not very proud of myself becuase I'll flat out fail the last paper that I took. I think I only got about 5/100. I'm quite serious. If I pass I'll buy all of you out there a car.

I'm sure to choose better electives next semester! In fact, I'll do my research beforehand and suss out those that I can do well, or I'm interested in.

Anyway, it's not only the maths elective. The History one left me stunned especially when the tutorials were geared towards answering very specific questions (including the research and material) so when there was a change in the angle it was almost impossible to answer.

I need to take non-examinable stuff.

I'm still chilling out in hall, accompanying the people who made my days studying for exams bearable. It can get real crazy without company so I'm grateful and sticking around for a little while. I'm going back home this weekend though, and life after examinations can finally begin! I'm glad! I do feel like I've been missing out on stuff. On life! I can't wait to curl up on one of those tanbeds at Cafe Del Mar and read a novel or something. I'm more attracted to the novelty of doing such an activity than actually doing it! Haha... yeah, it's cool to not have to worry about examinations and assignments and lead a carefree life getting a tan, exericising, chilling out and... just basically not be burdened by academic stuff.

It's going to be one packed holiday!

It's kind of hard to see my friends studying like mad too, so I can't wait till everyone ends their exams so we can get out of this place and PLAY!

Twisted History

Herdotus is Hiro. Thucydides is juicy titties. Polybius is poly-breasts. Titus Livy is Lively Titties. Tacitus is taciturn. Petrarch is Petrovich. Boccaccio is Boh Ka Chio. Leonardo Bruni is Leonardo Dicaprio. Niccolo Machiavelli is a piccolo. Francesco Guicciardini is some kinda pasta. Martin Luther is ML King.

Now, if I can only think of something for Leopold von Ranke.

A Kid Again

I've settled in to a life of studying for exams. As bland as it may seem, waking up everyday for breakfast, studying and sleeping before enjoying the great food from Can 13/14, there's comfort in the routine. It's nice to know what to expect, with just a few deviations thrown in for good measure, like a movie or a long run. I'm also pretty self-sufficient. I've got all that I need to keep me holed up in hall for a long time.

Familiar old music from the net brings a sense of nostalgia. Where did good, soothing music go? Or maybe it's not so much the quality of the music but the ability to invoke memories of being carefree and innocent. It's great to live life like there aren't problems more pressing than exams after being used to thinking about things like whether I'm earning enough money, or whether I've split my time well amongst the friends I know. Not that that isn't important anymore but this is a time where exams are king. You're doing a favour by giving them time to study! Okay it's just me!

I feel like a kid again. Partially because people around me treat me like one. Of course I'm not that silly to think that I am; I'm not throwing everything I've learned in life out of the window. It's just that it's nice to be the one to respond to initiative instead of taking it. I suck at making things happen, but working with me to develop something, anything, creates impressive synergy. I guess I'm really satisfied with my lot now. I don't need more to be happy.

I just need this.

Exam Period

Some of the fun things you get to do during the exam period is waking up late (as we all don't have lessons) and make breakfast together. Well this was Sunday I think, so it was quite some time ago but it was good...



Sadly the next morning we woke up and it was raining terribly. We were all overwhelmed by the urge to snooze in our bed but peer pressure has its up sides too! Haha... so despite the bloody crappy weather...



... and strong winds, and wet slippers, we dragged ourselves up to make breakfast.



It is really kind of rare to see me cooking because I usually don't. I'm not really good at it but Daniel and Liqi make it look bloody easy. I make up for it by cleaning the dishes. Most of the time that is! The two of them really spoil me! Haha... So after the cooking session Yiping came down just in time to eat!

Anyway, apart from that, I've had pizza from Can 13 for supper for two nights in a row.



It's really no wonder why I'm getting fat. I'm quite disgusted with myself, but I think it's rather common for everyone to be less active during exams, yet feel terribly hungry because apparently, studying requires a whole damn lot of energy!

And it's boring. Eating keeps you awake. Haha...

On a not so hilarious and very ugly last note, this was how I looked moments before my first exam in three years:



I was spooked!

Luckily tomorrow is a rather light exam. I'm taking it seriously! I'll wake up to study for it tomorrow morning! I finished two movies with Liqi - Deathly Silence starring Ryan Kwanten, which was quite crap, and Little Miss Sunshine... a brilliant piece of work. I need to watch it again!

To everyone who's still having exams: Jiayou!!!

Exams

Yeah, they start tomorrow (actually today!) and I'm rather freaked about but I guess it'll be over by the time I know it. I know there's a lot of studying to be done, but I just can't continue! It's really taking every ounce of perserverance left in me to keep me from running away from this textbook. Heck. It's giving me a headache. And my brain's saturated, like everyone else's.

I think a lot of people were lying when they told me that Uni's easier than A levels!

The only kind of things I enjoyed these couple of days were having my meals with Daniel, Liqi and Yiping. Kind of feels like family. Haha... it's great to share that kind of connection. The way we all wake up early to cook our breakfast, or go off to Can 2 to have dinner and then plan what to cook for the next day's breakfast... Shopping for groceries and cooking just gives me the homely feeling. It would've been unbearable if not for them.

My mind's a blank now. Time to stuff it with more stuff so that there'd be stuff to throw up for exams tomorrow. I'm scared, I really am.

Because I know all of you are so good.

SGX

Well, remember the production that I was involved in a couple of weeks back where I played golf and ran out of a shoddy hotel? Well, here's a short outline of the storyline.



There was once a rich kid, who was felt trapped by his parents' wishes for him.



There was an Ah Beng, who was rather cultured. And artistic.



They bumped into each other while running away from their various problems.



Just when they were about to tear each other apart, He Xian Gu appeared.

For the ending, watch it yourself on Youtube!



I think I sulk a lot like Edison Chen, and no it wasn't on purpose. (Note that in no way did I mean that I looked like him.) Laugh at me or with me, I'm fine either way. I suppose it'll provide great examination de-stress! I think the seniors did a great job editting the footage. You can also take a look at the "famous blogger" song that they did which appears on Part 4. I must really thank them for letting me be a part of their project although I'm so noob and all! It was a great experience, and I hope they scored well for their module!

Last Lesson

This was a week of last lessons - last lectures and last tutorials before the exams. The teachers go through exam tips and everyone gets nervous and hangs on to every word. CDP101 though, is so outside the norm. It's the reason you sould take non-examinable electives. The elective itself is just so fun and we all got along smashingly well after working with each other for the past 11 lessons. The potluck was amazingly good.



The variety was incredible! We didn't manage to finish everything though. And we each had personal cups with our own nicknames such as those I mentioned in the previous Theatre post. Mine was Dustbin Boy but sadly it got changed to...



Yeah, I should've taken photos of the rest such as Sexy Girl and all! Haha... While we waited for people to turn up, we took a bite of everything. We only managed to watch the video our performance about an hour after the lesson started! It was a hilarious and cringe-worthy experience. It was made all the better since we weren't watching for the first time, and we knew all the funny parts. We were all laughing madly at the humorous performances and each other's mistakes such as forgetting the lines. Apparently we did a good job of improvising I think, but just admitting the mistakes was a like sharing a dark secret! Haha... I forgot to take an essential prop, a piece of paper, on stage and I had to grab one from Ros during the office scene! Ridiculous!

Eh, after that they all tried to sabo me to dance a Britney dance, again. And again and again. If we actually sat through the entire video of random things that Melvin filmed of our last lesson, there'd be a good 30 minutes or so of people chanting my name, Britney or Gimme More. As much as I'm cool with dancing, I'm not so... attention-whorish! So I didn't do it! We took a class photo, which I haven't got, but here are some of photos of the final project groups and our teacher Joanne!



The Overcoat ft Akaky Akakavich, The Important Person, Mrs Gobshka, Petrovich and Bully!



The Three Fat Virgins!

After that Noorlina came in to tell us about other modules that would become available in the next semester, which include directing, acting and playwriting. I think I'll probably take playwriting if it fits ninto my timetable. I think I'm cool with a 5 day week even. I just want to do something I really like.

Arhm. Screw maths.

Anyway, everyone demanded that I do the dance again, and the only good part about it all was that I got to drag Ros and Chun Yan to dance with me. We made a rather lame attempt, and it was funny of it to be caught on video. I think I've had enough of being in videos. Watching myself act was painful enough, now I've been caught on camera dancing... Traumatised!

We then went outside to take a couple more photos...



Ah yeah, my co-dancers! Haha.. they actually climbed the ladder up there!

We cam-whored a bit more at random places. It was really hilarious... I'm going to miss these guys!

BIllboard Bitch

I'm apalled.

All through the past week, ever since Blackout hit the stores, Billboard has been reporting that it would debut at the top of the pile, no matter the competition. After that news came out that the Eagles were actually selling almost double of what she was selling but they weren't elibigle to chart as they were only sold by one retailer. Or some shit like that. Imagine my shock when I found out that... well... Bah.

"Geoff Mayfield, director of charts at Billboard, said Spears' album could debut at No. 1 with sales of between 200,000 and 300,000, well down on the more than 600,000 copies sold of previous album In the Zone during its first week. " - 24th Oct

"Britney Spears looks to have a clear path to top The Billboard 200.

First-day sales from the eight chains that report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building Charts put Spears' Jive/Zomba release "Blackout" at 124,000 on the report released today (Oct. 31).

The Building Charts also seem to confirm that the nation's biggest seller, Wal-Mart, will not report sales on its U.S. exclusive, the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden," as that much-anticipated album is missing from the Wednesday list." - 31st Oct

"With their first studio title in nearly 30 years, the Eagles land atop The Billboard 200 with "Long Road Out of Eden," which sold 711,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan... As reported last night, this marks the first time Billboard has allowed exclusive album titles that are only available through one retailer to appear on its charts." - 6 Nov

It's a fucking conspiracy. Walmart and Billboard suck. If they wanted to be taken seriously I don't see why they couldn't have announced it earlier or changed it the following week instead. Other artists like Garth Brooks opened with #1 sales last Christmas and they didn't do shit to it. So now Britney's releasing an album they've just got to ammend the damned rule moments before the chart's published? Just writing about Britney going to #1 all week and then suddenly dropping the bomb that the Eagles would be #1 is just unacceptable.

The significance of course, was that it was gunning for another record to be in the books. Baby One More Time went #1. Oops! went #1. Britney was #1. In The Zone hit #1. Her greatest hits and remix CD didn't hit number one but no one cared. But this is her 5th studio album! It's the first one not the go #1! It's a freaking conspiracy - poised for top spot till the very damned last second!

How professional of Billboard.

On the bright side, Piece of Me debuts at #65 on the Hot 100. Definitely one of the best songs on her album, so it better do well.

Edit - Okay, actually I'm really upset over this. I never thought I would take such nonsense seriously, but after reading all the comments on Billboard, I really felt that she was robbed of the top spot, that Billboard's unethical. I don't know their reasons for doing so, because the move is so controversial - to change the rule 24 hours before the release of the chart. Is it to reward the Eagles because they did indeed sell more? Or was it to get publicity? There's so much hate and dissatisfaction... As an observer of the music industry for the past decade... sigh. This is disappointing.

Studying

What can I say about studying that hasn't been said. Everyone's doing it. It's kinda crazy. There's really a lot of pressure to do well but at the same time it's only the first semester. I think I've only just warmed up to life in University. By that I'm referring to academically, not hall life!

Today's lesson on COM203 was a little encouraging, but a look at previous papers discouraged me a bit! It is quite interesting to see how the questions will be set because the exam is really unconventional. We've got to do our own research and coupled with the knowledge blessed upon us by our dearest professors, overcome and defeat the fearful, monstrous questions in the exam papers (which happens to be set by our dearest professors). The interesting thing about COM 203 is that we actually learn about Journ, PR and ad and EBM together, so you get to choose your media/weapon to battle against the evil monster which comes in the form of Global Warming or The Future of Media. That's where the problem comes in.

I haven't chosen my weapon. Yet.

I scared later my sword smaller than other people one lei. Else is I take same one as them then they can swing it harder than me. Then in the end they one hit monster KO, I never hit, see monster only then turn to play-doh.

It's an exciting battle though, and I'm looking forward to it. I probably sound a bit more optimistic than I really feel but... I think my interest will get me through.

For the other subjects though, that is hardly the case. It's the case of forcing everything into my brains. The worst part is though, now you know that the people who are taking the exams with you have more or less the same kind of strengths that you have, you'd have to work your fucking ass off just to be average. I did think of quitting but hey, since I'm here, I might as well give what I've got.

The problem with what I'm taking now (how many of you actually thought I was an arts student?) is that it requires me to come up with my own ideas and everything, which I'm not that used to. I'm not even used to writing stuff, other than in GP! And that was 2 years ago! It's a pain in the head and it requires a lot of exposure to different perspectives and forming one of my own. Tough stuff.

Studying's monotonous. It can be lonely. It's laborous. It's tedious. It's frustrating. It's rarely enjoyable, probably in the rare instance that some idea just strikes you and you see the lights. Like lightning-bright stadium lights.

The only thing that takes my mind off the stress of studying is exercise. And I had a great run with LQ today, which I attribute my current brilliantly clear state of mind to. But I'm going to sleep now cos my roomie's sleeping till damn shiok!

I'm looking forward to the end of exams though. As Louis put it... all we want is to have guilt-free fun.

Theatre

The sun is shining incredibly outside now, but I'm stuck inside preparing for exams. That's pretty much what's on my mind now, but it'll end soon enough I guess. Anyway, I can't stand this nonsense anymore. I've had it with being stuck with books on weekends. I'm going to find someway to have fun in the sun tomorrow. I'll probably go Sentosa tomorrow. Probably.

I'm currently working on all the journals and essays that I'm supposed to be doing for CDP101. It's great that there aren't exams, but these are the things that I'm going to be graded on, so I'm struggling to do a good job with them. Anyway, last Wednesday we had our final performance and everyone did a great job! I enjoyed all the performances. Everyone stood out in one way or another. Brilliant stuff.

I was quite freaked out when it was my group's turn to perform but I think I did the best job that I've ever done. The part that freaked me out was this guy who rehearses scolding people in the mirror and then bursts out laughing. The cycle of scolding and laughing goes on two times. The character is kind of psychotic so it was a challenge for me. And then I forgot to bring an essential piece of paper on stage, but I improvised a bit and grabbed one from Ros. The timing wasn't as good as it could have been but... it's all over and we're done! It was great still! Next week's the video viewing though and I'm tempted to shut my eyes at the part where I play the Important Person!

I think everyone did a great job and they were all memorable for me. Working with the two groups for lighting was great too. I think I did a decent job and they were all very encouraging and appreciative. Cool!

So after the entire thing was over we took a couple of photos!



Here with our teacher Joanna. A couple of them left early because they had lessons, or there'd be about another 7 people or so!



And these are my groupmates, who coincidentally are from CS. Shannon and Linda left early so I guess we'll be taking another photo next week. We went through so many rehearsals together, fruitful discussions and doing a whole lot of nonsensical stuff while preparing for our performance... It was really a great experience.



And this is the crazy group of people with shitty powers. There's Dustbinboy, Jokerboy, Vulgarboy, Emogirl, Bullshitgirl... and some couple of others that I can't remember!

Next week we'll have our final lesson and celebrating the journey that we've taken in this course. There's going to be potluck and the current list is already making my mouth water!

1. Cheese cake from Shannon
2. Drinks from Kherray (ooh. alcohol... nice.)
3. Samosa from Yen Nee
4. Potato Chips from Chun Yan
5. Melvin from Melvin...haha..just kidding...i will bring my camcorder!! and err...fries from Macdonalds!!!
6. Mango & Macadamia Nut Cookies + SEXY DANCE from Jason spears
7. Oreo wafersssss from ros =]
8. Tissue papers (never underestimate the importance of it) + Xiaolongbaoxxxx (flown in from china). kindly sponsored by xiang.
9. Ham and bread by Yiling

I suggested dressing up to a theme that's related to theatre but I don't know if we'll come to a conclusion before then! Anyway, Melvin included in the e-mail that's being forwarded around, "Jason should dress up!!! u need to dance britney!!!" and that led to Xiang Yu adding that I'm going to do a sexy dance.

Arhm.

What nonsense!!!

On a sidenote, I think CS people (me excluded) are hilariously witty and crazy.

This is the only lesson that I'm going to miss when it all ends.
