so. tuesday morning found me in school, waiting for oblivion.
ok fine, exaggeration; i claim poetic license. well yeah, i was in school mugging 1984 at 8, no one's interested in that -skip- had a difficult but necessary and, well, eventually (i hope) rewarding chat with a very good pal -skip- went for purvis' lit lecture which was basically his last stand-up comedy slot of the year.
tuesday afternoon saw me wasting nearly 2 hours at lunch with david daniel char & annliang. and wow i found out i had more readers than i thought possible. sucks to you iggie =P
shoutout to all you deprived humanz pple out there lol please go and get a life. here's a good place to start: www.youtube.com
well we had a good chat about blogs and stuff, and how abu dhabi is really less interesting to blog about than classical music (lol i think daniel might have won that one if we'd been anywhere else other than the humanz classes), and so on.
yeah daniel mentioned the level of swearing on my blog, which i guess was pretty gratuitous in the last post (about the wasp). mmhrm yes true. i should explain my stance on swearing; i'm more liberal on using unprintables than most people, on the principles that a) the notion of profanity is a social construct that should have passed into obsolescence a long time ago anyway, b) helps to relieve some of the tension that i feel, that perhaps some people actually don't, c) adds flavour to the otherwise staid prose of your humble narrator, and d) cos i like it.
the only exceptions i make are cunt and motherfucker (those two words will not appear on my blog ever again, i promise) - i really cannot muster up the egregious vehement misogyny needed to use those two words in a meaningful way; it probably comes with middle age. it needs a sheer elemental hatred of women in particular and mankind in general that is beyond my understanding, which is why i am mildly irritated when some people (like chua) use it casually. it's like the word fuck; kids shouldn't use it, because they simply have no conception of the sheer anger at the world needed to impart real meaning into it. nice people like daniel with nothing to worry about feel absolutely no need to say it, which is fine by me, just don't impose it on me, is all.

Ha. Readership is overrated.
but adam, posting a tad more regularly might help too =)
Bah. Consistency is overrated too.
Curious: Are you allergic to peanuts? I just watched one episode of Boston Legal where a parent is suing another teacher for negligence - she supposedly allowed peanut candy to be brought into the class accidentally and led to the death of a student
Hmm... I feel extremely bad after my interview this afternoon. =/ I kept making grammar mistakes as I speak! So whenever you are replying my comments, if you spot any of my glaring grammar mistakes, please tell me. Thanks!!!!! =) =)
Also, SPH's policy of replying to each and every email is false then? Where is Mr Ho's reply? :P
