taking wei jie seriously

Wow. Didn't expect such a big emo reaction from Wei Jie. Wei Jie, reason I used so many vulgarities is because you didn't seem to mind them. Do remember that during group discussion I called you 'Asshole' many many times. You laughed and continued doing whatever you were doing. So I thought you were okay with expletives. Basically, I just wished you had asked me first.

And another thing: the 'Jackson Four Minute Rule' is more of a ribbing than a complaining. It was a parody of the 'Harvard Four Minute Rule' and since you're the one who showed the most class spirit among ex-Austinians, you kena lah. What, you think there's a 'Memphis Four Minute Rule'?

Looks like you're under the impression that you're supposed to choose between Austin and Jackson. As far as I'm concerned, you're not. The few reasons why you get some dissing about Jackson from me is because

1) You actually try to defend them. It's funner to tease someone who gets all hot and bothered.

2) I was trying to get you to shut up about them already. You DO go on about them, you know? If you still don't believe me, I am willing to record you for posterity. Not that I don't like them or anything, but I don't know Jackson people and therefore find the topic extremely boring.

Wei Jie, you can go forth and express the spiky-haired side of you. But if it is any consolation, Charis once commented on your involvement in BTN LDK and she said: Wei Jie was sitting there making Wei Jie-like remarks. Correct me if I got it wrong, Charis. So I suppose there is a certain set of characteristics we attribute to you. 

We all start out as stem cells, Wei Jie. You can differentiate into any cell you want.

BTN reflections

Well, I'm back from BTN. Learned some. Thought some.

I could feel a few half-hearted attempts at brainwashing. but as a whole, the camp pretty much succeeded in preserving my mental state. My mind is still as clear and unpolluted as it was before.

Met up with an old friend, learned about B's weakness, learned about sleep-messaging, learned about the pronunciation of deo-dorant, learned about Ee Jane's (the Kelantan one) new flame, learned about new items of garglement, tried to find hotter guys to ogle at, divorced Amy, learned that I can actually go 2 km without something worthwhile to run for at the finish line, learned that Captain Carrot knows how to give blowjobs, learned that rappeling ain't all that fun, learned that communal bathing alone is damn fun, etc. etc.

Almost lost my temper at Wei Jie for making me act as The Wife in the patriotic song presentation. When no one volunteered for that role, bloody sonofabitch just wrote my name on the board without even asking my opinion. I hate being taken for granted. When I protested, he just waved it aside and started telling me what to do. Jerk of the century. Just because I helped him once in his stupid video, he thinks I'm at his beck and call. Asshole. It's not that I wouldn't help, but I'd like it if he just asked. But I learned something, that is I don't lose my temper ganasly enough. Zhen Hwang was actually trying to decide whether I'm really angry or not. I shall make it more pronounced next time. Yes, Wei Jie, you with the squid rammed up your butt. I am pissed at you.

Funnily enough, the most vivid memory snapshot I have of this camp is the one of Beatrice suspended in mid-fall - hands stretched out, face still smiling at Zhen Hwang's imaginary pursuit of revenge, legs in a position that will make a upright landing impossible. That moment right before the ground said hello.

The spotlight-lit circle was what made the camp really worth the while :)

a rather more rational update

Okay, dear friends. Especially friends >2 years old. I know it's rather hard to talk to me for very long before I bathe / go have lunch / dinner / watch movie / study / sleep / peel apples. And I know some of you are back from matriculation. And want to know when I'm back in Taiping. Okay. So here are my plans:

April24: 1630 bus back to Taiping.

April25: Buy essential stuff for BTN.

April26: Bus back to Shah Alam.

Stupid, I know. But I kinda miss my family. Anyway, I don't think I have time to go lepak and minum lah. Lots of stupid things to buy. And I have to talk to my family so that they remember who I am before I went to BTN camp. Now, everytime I mention September to my mum, she'll sigh this very heart-wrenching sigh and ask me to shut up :( dia tidak sanggup melepaskanku.

Oh, what is BTN? Butt Transfer Negotiations. Haha. No lah. Biro TataNegara camp. Compulsory for JPA people before leaving Malaysia. Heard it's a bit like National Service, only that it lasts 5 days. There goes my one week holiday. I'm a bit worried about the physical part of the camp. I suspect my physique has atrophied since the last time I exerted myself. Which was.... uh... last year in the CRC Taiping swimming pool. Yeah. So. If they want to make me run 2.5 km... They better have something worth running for at the finish line.

yes. let's fail calculus.

Mister Riemann,

How would you like to suck my balls.

Monsieur l'Hopital, 

You're okay.

Let's see...

Who else.. who else...

Ah.

Screw you guys,

I'm going home.

{South Park saturation. Forgive me.}

bleeding lips

I can't help but draw parallels.

They say it's a sign of insecurity, biting your lips. I do that. 

The last time my lips bled, was the first time I moved away from home

to here.

They bled and bled.

Mellow salt-tinged metal taste taking the edge off the fear.

Now, I don't know why, 

they're bleeding again.

Funny.

This time the blood didn't go unnoticed.

The last time, no one even looked.
