Half Time

I demand that the world halts in its heedless pursuit of tomorrow and glide in a stately merry-go-round direction for a week or two!

Evidently nobody gives a damn, as the clock is still steadfastly ticking forward. Stuff.

I am most woebegonefully behind in affairs of life and education. I mean, hallelujah and joy to the world and whatnot for the genius of physicists, but whomsoever coined the term 'inertia' has resulted in my overusing this term to describe sheer laziness and procrastination. I am lazy and I procrastinate, period. My choice animal to be in this world would be a tiger, but, barring a sudden surge of required will and determination to stave off starvation, I would be much better off as a barnacle on a whale.
Precisement.

But seeing as how I have the avoided the fate of a low life crustacean and great cat alike, I shall just delight in muddling along as best as I can.

At long last, the ever awaited start to the June holidays! How exceedingly grateful I am to the Lord Almighty that thy unworthy subject has made it through the first six months of Junior College, hardly unscathed but thoroughly satisfied for it -

10s03N is the absolute pinnacle of my happiness, truly and sincerely the best class, most bonded and with the least cliquey people, I have ever been in, and believe you me when I say that class time never so much as tilts towards the side of boredom and irritation. In fact, cheers to all the (RA)ted jokes and scandals that swathe our classmates like winds in a hurricane.

That said, one is severely shocked that term 2 has just vapourized with narry an inkling of its passage; where o where has half of Jc1 life gone to?? Six months of my life over and done with forever!!

So many regrets and failures. These terrible miscreants I shall chuck under the sink to join the abhorred lizards and cockroaches of the world, for one must ensure that these miseries will never be dredged up like silt to be re-agonized and re-wailed over! -shudder shudder -

For good measure, I shall - shudder - again.

A hearty toast, a glass of wine, to former glories,
The rich ruby swirl of former glories.

Just the almost forgotten, deliberately forgotten hopes
Fool's hopes.

The Gay, the Gleeful, and the Gender-bender

It is early on a Monday morning and Zong and Vic are seated in front of a laptop discussing bio assignment and rehearsing the presentation. All is most definitely not proceeding as Vic thinks it should.

Vic : "Eh do you even know what this is or not!"

Zong : "Of course! (gestures to the picture) DNA base usually A T and C G so if A C then is incorrect base pairing!"

Vic : (wailing in frustration) "Whaaat!? Noooooo you have to discuss it in more detail! It can't be so brief!"

Zong : "No need la! So complicated for what, just keep it simple! One slide one sentence can already! First slide : the agents of DNA damage are UV light and free radicals. second slide : Free radicals are highly reactive. Third slide : ..."

Vic : "Nooooo argh you can't do it like that stop stop shaddap!!"

Zong : (ignoring Vic) " I just need to change the tone, make it more proffessional.

Elang and Em : "WAHAHAHAHAAAAAA"

MJ : "Whoa whoa early morning dogging already horr!"

(later )

It is late on a Monday morning and Zong and Vic are seated in front of a mac laptop discussing bio assignment. Except for the occasional childish squabble, things proceed smoothly until -

All of a sudden Zong realises his wallet and handphone are missing!

"Shit! My wallet and - eh, lend me your phone-" he leaps to his feet, grabs Vic's phone and proceeds to dial his best buddy Elang.

"Eh-Elang-youstillincanteenmyphoneandwalletistheredoyousee-"

In barges Elang through the door of the seventh floor classroom, obviously nowhere near the canteen anymore.

"Shit! Eh-Ileftmywalletinthecanteen---!!!" Zong exclaims, ostensibly and visibly panicked. Not only does Elang not reply with the usual droll expletive, he remains still for awhile, a facade of serene composure, then strolls over to where the mac is.

Zong blinks, bemused, as Elang lifts the mac up by the screen.

Lo and behold! Placed neatly in a stack, cool as you please, Zong's wallet and handphone!

There is a stunned silence, followed by a gale of laughter.

( a few days later, Zong calls Elang on the phone while walking to RI )

Zong : "Hello Elang! Where are you all arh?"

Elang : "Woi! Wo zai ni hou mian la!" ( imagine the coarse edged huskiness to his voice, and he speaking in the manner of a coffee shop aunty, and you'll know why we laughed! )

(later in the day)

Our very own celestial body celebrates his 17th birthday! Tan Elang, the Sun, the hot, the sio and the pro, recieves a card bearing a message of affection from each of us, the most memorable by far being written by Shornee.

"Hey sweetie, I always knew you were hot stuff, even before they started calling you the Sun. You're the best chem rep in the class, and that makes me want to put my burette in your beaker. I wonder how long it would take for a neutralisation reaction to occur? xP

See you around! Your totally sexy lover, Shorn. "

(Today!)

Em : I'm going off with Shaun during free block...

Elang (suddenly possessive) : EH don't go stealing my 'hot sexy lover!"

(later)

Zong : (completely serious tone) "Sir, there's a gay in our classroom. This is an issue you must address."

Mr Lee : "No la! Eh we must not discriminate against homosexuals."

Zong : "What?! Then he'll gay me!"

Mr Lee : "Then you get rid of him yourself!"

(later, when discussing food for class bbq)

Zong : "I don't mind eating Dog meat." (Mimes a vicious savage stabbing a fork into a chunk of meat, ripping off a hunk and stuffing it into his mouth. The act is completed by cannibalistic sound effects that effectively convey a vehement pleasure in partaking the meat of the dead Dog.)

Vic : "Oi! I'll lick you first!"

Mr Lee : (catching on to the perverse implications) walaauuuu. Anyway, I think if he really licks you right, you'll start rotting.

Involving PW.

1.

In the middle of a heated argument between two of my PW members in the canteen, Shornee jauntily steps in to contribute his two cents' (much more valuable, really) worth of thought.

The twisted one : Imagine Zong Dog standing over Vic Dog, in black leather and holding a whip, saying, "Bad dog! Down!"

The shameless one : Kinky!! I like pain!!

The clueless one : Huh? Why leather?

2.

Conversation between Vic and Mei Dog while in the library. Go figure who's who!

"We should book the bus whose tickets cost $100 per ride - the chairs are super comfortable! They can be put all the way down like beds...you can sleep on them, and everything. Even have sex!"

"You two can have a bus to yourself then, and enjoy your five hour ride..."

"Yeah...five hour ... ride...OHMYGOSH!"

"... ... ... (sniggers) especially since you'll be the one riding!"

"Five hours ride ... ouch, no, I don't think even my ass can take it!"

"(oblivious third party) I don't even want to know what you guys are referring to."

3.

(Highly perverted, this!)

"Give me back my phone! Or I'll use this marker to draw on your fur, dog."

"Right. Then you'll have to wash my fur for me! Because you're my master!"

4.

In reference to boredom and hairy legs :

"Zong Dog! One of these days, you should wear FBTs. Then shave a pattern on your legs! AHAHA..."

"..Yeah, yeah. Xiao zhar bor..."

5.

"Hey you know Zong's parents (stumbles over 'parents')-"

"(mishearing) HE'S WHAT?? PREG? As in pregnant??"

6. Excerpts of a memorable MSN conversation.

"That dumb dog! I'll make sure he suffers! By my tongue!"

"I'm sure. Is your mouth that big? xD"

"...Wth? You're overestimating him!"

"How would you know?"

"Well, we had communal bathing during class camp ... let's just say, his wasn't the size of any coconut tree or whatever."

"HAHA. And yours?"

"Wth! This is damn wrong! But anyway, mine's huge."

"(Remembers from a former conversation) And hard?"

"Yes of course."

"AHAHA PW BOLSTER FIGHTS!"

"LOL. So what, during our bolster fights, I use that?"

And that, Zhilbeh, is what I decided not to post on the class blog! x)

6.

Zong Dog logs onto his gmail account. First message title the three of us see in his inbox :

"Hot models and sexy babes looking for handsome sugar Daddy!"

(Tsk tsk tsk. Handsome? Sugar Daddy? Hot models? Sexy babes? Lim Zong - (whoops, privacy infringement.) Zong Dog? Just what have you been doing to recieve emails like these?)

7.

What we all have to say to our parents :

MJ : "Sorry, mummy, I'm not a girl anymore..."

Zong : "Sorry, mummy, I'm not straight anymore..."

Vic : "Sorry, mummy, I'm not a human...anymore..."

Em : "Sorry, mummy, that you had to meet them and see all this..."

PW meetings

Excerpts from our PW group meetings :

Members : Zong Dog, Vic Dog, Mei Dog, and Em Dog.


1.
Mei Dog : (mimes a throttling motion with fingers roughly the circumference of a neck, to Zong Dog)
Vic Dog : Hey, don't do that! It looks damn wrong.
Mei Dog: ... (lightbulb of understanding) Eh, please lor. I know it's Zong Dog, but doesn't mean his is that big...
Vic Dog : How you know, see before ah?
Mei Dog : Put it this way...if it's that thick, anyone would be able to see it through his pants.
Vic Dog : You never know...now it's only in ground state.
Zong Dog : (stunned)


2 .
Vic Dog : EEWW!! THERE’S DOG SHIT ON THAT CHAIR!
Zong Dog : What dog shit, bird shit la. I’m sure a dog’s anus that small...

Vic Dog : No way man. It’s dog shit!!


3.
Mei Dog : We should have stress and anger management sessions! Pillow fights! Let's all crash a house with our pillows and bolsters! Pillow fight! Bolster fight!
Vic Dog : Oh yeah, that would be damn fun! I can bring my bolster. It's damn big!
Em Dog : Yeah, Vic Dog...you and your bolster, 'damn big' right!
Vic Dog : Eh, yeah lor! Damn big! And damn hard somemore!!


4.
Vic Dog : This is how Zong Dog types. (mimes a dog banging on the keyboard with three fingers)


Vic Dog's perveted obsessions, as becoming steadily more explicit

Vic Dog : Why is your handwriting so big, Zong Dog? Is it in proportion to the size of your-
Zong Dog : (exasperated glare)

(next)

Vic Dog : Hey! Zong Zong!
Zong Dog : Hey! Puppy!
Tiong : Wow, so intimate!

(next)

Vic Dog : (assuming slutty face and seductive falsetto) Zong Doggg..... (strokes Zong Dog.)

(later)

Vic Dog : Eh, Zong Dog! Stop looking at me like that! Don't make me rape you!

(later)

Vic Dog : Eh, Zong Dog! Don't do that! Or I'll rape you right here and now! I'll make sure you die by my tongue!!

(later)

Vic Dog : Oh, I'd be honoured to be your judo partner! I'll make sure to grab all the right places! And make you squeal!

AND OMG THIS IS EPIC :

Vic Dog (to Zong Dog, obviously) : I'll make sure your rubber tree runs dry!!!

Zong Dog's inexorable decline into moronity

"Dogu! Dogu! That's damn dogu!"

"Vic Dog, I'll dump you into a kennel with Mei Dog. Then we'll soon see little puppies running around."

(To Vic Dog) "Go fetch, puppy! Go fetch!"

Zong Dog : (digs around in file) hahahahaha! More blank sheets of paper!

Zong Dog : (In a revoltingly sweet and condescending voice) Nonono. I want to use a fresh sheet of paper. So nice and refreshing! = Flicks paper =



Hilarity. I'm sorry if it doesn't seem funny on print. You have to be with the group itself!

No nothing nada.

No inspiration.

No fervent harassment of the silver, smudged keyboard in an attempt to capture images and emotions in prose and poetry.

Nope, not even the slightest urge to recount the ridiculous antics of my PW group mates. Although what I can remember is enough to make laughter bubble up to stretch my lips in a grin, there are just so many things that words cannot do justice to.

Isn't it remarkable how the headquarters of somatic control, the conductor of comprehension, the power generator of conciousness, known otherwise to sensible laymen as the 'brain', can swing from one pinnacle of emotion to the next with the most tenuous prococation?

One would expect that if even our cells, microscopic collections of of micro microscopic organelles, had regulatorary processes in replication, transcription and whatnot -

No. I am incoherent today.

I have never wanted this blog to be a diary of petty, self indulgent rubbish - barring the occasional anecdotes of my life, my other entries ( I hope ) have -

have -
have what?! Added literary value? Does that not sound supercilious? Contemptuous of journals and condescending?

I just don't know.

I am disgustingly disjointed. How irksome!

Utterly abhor these perplexing instances of uncreativity.

Lackadaisical lethargic indolent

somnolent

my current state of mind.




Oh, the wonders of Haagen Daaz belgian chocolate and cappucino truffle ice cream.

Your only Rose


I just wish you loved me as if I were your only rose!



My gallant paladin,

Love me, completely and utterly,

Cherish me like your eyes.

Bring me a lance of molten platinum,

Bring me a liquid gown of ice that will not melt

Bring me a dress of golden flowers, with neither stitch nor seam

Bring me a crown of moonlight I can touch and wear

Bring me the moon itself on a chain

Brave for me the trials of hell.



My gentle paladin,

Beautify me,

Pleasure me above all other flowers, that I might be the radiance of every star's fantasy.

For I am

Resplendent, Incandescent, Ethereal

Only me. The only rose.

No silent, passing praise for me, oh no no,

I want the monopoly, the riveted abhorrent jealousy from others when they look upon my exquisite self.

Do behold their spiteful malcontent, evoking in me a frisson of joy, so delightful it is to my gleeful eye! I would be pulchritude itself, empyreal gift on earth, the only, the one, the single.

Rose.


I rememember past the hideous, drooping stalk, hanging low and withered as dried up skin. The pitiful crackle of dry leaves crushed. The bald flower bereft of its crown.

The seizing laugter of corruption.

By any other name would it smell as sweet.
