All over the place

Still water runs deep, or so they say. but the government says, still water indirectly gives u dengue fever. so pls remember to empty ur pots, unclog ur gutters, and use ur toilet bowl at least occasionally. lol okay the above passage is. tangential. to my topic sentence for this paragraph. which is. this place is stagnating. after awhile blogging about 'what happened today' gives too little satisfaction. and theres nothing 'big' to blog about. cause lifes basically the same, which is to say, boring. im not complaining.

oh well. since 'what happened today' has not enough content, today being friday, a generally uninteresting day, i shall do something on 'what i learnt this week'. unfortunately my memory has holes in it, and i will not be able to recount everything. anw.

1) About Haggis.
which is a sheeps stomach stuffed with its internal organs after they have been ground. a scottish delicacy of sorts. apart from looking extremely appetizing, when read out loud it sounds mildly comical. Also they sell stuffed(as in stuffed toys) Haggis(s) in England, which lim min bought and brought to class for a grand total of 3 days. its really just a white furball with stick-on eyes and nose. but theres something irresistably cute about a stuffed toy modelled after. er. Haggis. in any case, that thing seems to have to have the uncanny ability to reduce depression rate of anyone it comes into contact with. for awhile at least. erm especially longkuan lol. the exception of course would be lim min. personally i have apologetic sentiments towards the haggis for all the times i dropped it on the floor =(.the poor thing, suffered worse abuses than that though. oh well at least it only costs 3 bucks, excluding airfare.

2) Lit week is a pointless waste of time.
do we look like we need to devote effort to proving to the rest of the school how much we love literature. lit week has wasted about 4 hours of my time this week. 1 hour was wasted doing research on haikus, which phang reminded me was to be done. however i later found out someone else had already sent in my part rendering it useless. 3 hrs was spent 'helping' with the writers haiku board. seriously all i did was cut out the 'i' and compose a haiku oO. which was kinda shitty but wdv. relative to shaoshengs 'oh my god please die' one it was...fair. then there was abit more spent trying to find out what a haggis really looks like, the stuffed one being an unreliable reflection of one.

3) hmm. i have much trouble thinking of what else ive learnt. okay. oa, despite her superior-to-you-idiots attitude, is actually susceptible to sloth.
proof of this is the way her lecture slides were..white. only the second lecturer to have white background. the other one had winnie the pooh oO. oa had..nothing really. unless of course she wasnt the one who came up with the slides. which would make it worse. in addition she seems to underestimate our spelling abilities by reminding us how 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine was the source of common spelling error. (i did not refer to notes in spelling that btw. so there may be some problems with the hyphens, or the name. but im quite sure i spelt it right). ew okay im going completely off topic.

4) I learnt how to fold, from a rectangular sheet of paper, what ends up as two hearts. oO.
random stuff left behind by random people in random classrooms.

5) I learnt that phang, in addition to his talent in singing, is also a skilled artist, demonstrated through his spiderman and wolverine drawings. in fact it was so good only those who could truly appreciate abstract art could tell what they were.

6) That dota is still a pretty good way of wasting time without feeling shitty.
some call it a painkiller. or rather, moca calls it a painkiller. perhaps lol. however it would appear that after that the shittiness comes back, and its...shitty. flush your toilet bowls after use.

7) If your bored, read the obituaries.
theres always the occasional interesting story of someones life, abstractly captured in a black-and-white picture, and the long lines of descendents and their marriage partners. lol wdv. anw theres a pretty interesting one in todays paper. read if ur bored, or searching for goosebumps.

8) Number Eight was added in about 5 minutes after posting, when i happened to visit for the first time in a long time cheryls long-dead blog. only to find that it had been updated on wednesday. for what special purpose, you might ask. well apparently it was 2 lines of posting, the second of which was devoted to threatening to kill me. and number eight goes, dont mess with cheryl. too much.

and thats what ive learnt this week. the tangible stuff, anw.
