I saw fruity tuan today.
It was so surreal. because we were on our way for COM206 shoot at Boon Lay.
Thought eyes were playing tricks.
and we chanced upon Skoric at Macs too.
One more shoot tomorrow. because of some dumb reason.
though filming was fun today, with all the dumb stuff that K, Thad and Cheryl were coming up with

不空了。
但却好像还是少了什么。。。
虽然会被逗笑，会逗人家笑，但笑似乎不代表什么。
可能只是灵魂突然厌倦了我，决定出窍。从出窍到回魂之间，又可能半途被盗贼抢去了灵魂一部分。
谁？盗贼是谁？
突然想起杜甫的《茅屋为秋风所破歌》里的“南村群童欺我老无力，忍能对面为盗贼”。被抢去的到底是什么？
呜呼！

It dawned upon me that my blog title is unfitting since I'm a downright rambling nerd. It is no longer my alter ego. Maybe, then, I was pretending to be an intellectual introvert. Which is so wrong.
Nonetheless, not changing it yet, till a better name comes along. There are plenty of them, so choice plagues me now.
Someone is going to start a "Political Awareness Club" in school and as politically-enthusiastic individuals, we were targeted. I left my name, just curious. Curious whether they had the capacity to convince me. But, I think not and I hope not. I still love the kind of cosy discussions I engage in with random individuals. Something so on purpose is not for me. But still, I left my name. Still.
Seminars and discussions sounded boring. The man did not look intelligent nor sound intelligent. Instead, he came across as desperate. for attention?
But he mentioned Cherian George. And Prof Ho did too, today. So many oral citation counts. "Publish or Perish", says Intan.
Ignore the gibberish.
I was going to blog in Hokkien. So I am going to blog in Hokkien. From now. now.
Wa si hokkien lang. Wa hi bang wu zi jit, wa eh sai yong Hokkien sia gua, sia poem. Yin wee Wa si hokkien lang. Gin jit xi gang bo gao, wa ai ki kua bai fen bai, mai ga li nang gong ah ni zue. Gong ah ni zue li nang ma mng zai wa lo gong si mi.
kua si mi kua. li go kua wa poke li eh bak jiu ah!
(Translation: I am Hokkien. I wish that there would be a day when I can write Hokkien songs and poems, because I'm Hokkien. Today I do not have enough time, I need to watch Entertainment 100% aka 娱乐百分百. Don't say so much. Say so much you also don't know what I talking about.
See what see. Still see I poke your eyes ah!)
On a side note, here's a photo essay by NYT worthy of your 5 minutes:

some poem i scribbled on my palm during my ritualistic escapade:
the rain pounded
pounded furiously
on the red canvas
& yet all was quiet
it seems...
only the faithful sound when pen meets paper

I screwed up my presentation.
Moon: "Erm, maybe we do not exist in this world."
*Laughter in some corners of the tutorial room*
Maybe, if I had said that sentence with a little more conviction, people would have believed it. No, or maybe they would have thought I was mad.
I already knew the message wasn't that clear, the topic and theme too heavy for 6 photo stills. But I hate to give up the chance of making others see what I think, through my photos.
So I chose to sacrifice my grades.
That was why when someone asked, "What's the topic you're doing?", I tried to hem and haw through it, to escape saying "existence".
I still think maybe we do not exist at all.
With conviction.
P.S: Weird stuff are happening recently, and they are such sad irony.

因为刚写完稿，所以心血来潮，好吧，就来一段中文的！
MSN nick 好搞笑，从“稿什么鬼”变成“稿到一半”。真正写完稿后，就把它换成“稿完了"吧。对不起，脑袋瓜里不干不净的，被那个AHSEOW影响了。
今天，身兼两职，帮JM报导OMY，又帮NYCHRON摄影。对不起，是昨天。。。现在是3am了（LOL。3am）。等一下，6am还要再到SRC去，真是折腾人！但是，为了陈劲禾的sports article，黄伟曼得做个负责任的好人。HAHA。我们刚刚真的聊开了，没完没了的，现在，那个女人应该在她“比较远的HALL”吧。
嘴馋，和四楼女人男人到“太阳”去买ICECREAMU。Magnum是好吃的。在SRC聊天也很爽。比江爽还爽。（Laugh吧，陈劲禾）
然后又和HANMING拿了一串ＨＯＫＫＩＥＮＧＵＡ。。。好听！
今晚不睡了。

How I wish....every sentence that were to come out from people's mouth would be something intelligent.
How I wish...people would come straight to the point and not beat about the bush.
How I wish...everyone would just speak their mind and not hide anything
How I wish...words were not used wrongly and people who have NO grasp of English speak Chinese instead (or keep their mouth shut).
How I wish...people were more concerned about the world.
Yah, I wish only mah...

He is definitely a great orator. And I see why he inspires the young Americans, because his speech-making abilities is truly inspiring. truly.
I do not agree that a good orator is someone who talks big, but does nothing. He can be a good leader. I do believe.
'Yes We Can', might it be another 'I Have a Dream'?
The song and vid is brilliant too.
-Lyrics-
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --
Yes. We. Can.
Celebrities featured include: Jesse Dylan, Will.i.am, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Amber Valetta, Eric Balfour, Aisha Tyler, Nicole Scherzinger and Nick Cannon

I buried the lead, gosh. But, I'm pissed coz I kind of purposely buried it, for fear that the NUS counsellor might not like it. To be polite to someone who granted me an interview.
And, fear shouldn't appear in a journalist's dictionary.
So, there.
But, im over it.
Today, something funny happened during HA205 tutorial. Jan was giving the presentation, someone came in halfway, left the door open.
Then, he paused, and asked Prof Ho: "Sir, can we close the door? Since we're talking about politics here."
Me and Siti were laughing about it at the CS benches later, and I exclaimed that PAP won't be walking past the door, since our tutorial room is like damn ulu and right at the end of the corridor.
Now, I don't even bother to check the room number. I just walk straight to the end.
On another note, due to the hype regarding the escape of Mas Selamat, I feel like being a prankster and leaving something like 'Mas Selamat Found' on my MSN personal msg.
Though I decided against it.
