Wa kao- the cow!

Am watching somme kind of disastrous video footage show on NatGeo. EEEE. I watched a man die. This one is no.3.

ok wait.

just wanted to comment on an EARLIER footage. A rescue team wanted to rescue a trap cow a the side of a cliff. Then just when the cow was being airlifted, one man slipped abit.

He grabbed onto the net which the cow was in... then the helicopter rise lor. My GOD! He let go, and tumbled down the cliff . shit right!

Of course this kind of show, they will have slow-mo-replay... Just when I said "I hope he didn't hit his head," he hit his head. Then he ka-dom! hit the water. When he emerged, his face was red - with BLOOD!

After a while, I saw something pinkish-white. I immediately turned away and looked at my dad. I thought it's the brain. He said no la. But I think he's trying to console me 'cause he noes I'm afraid of this sorta stuf.

All the time he went "tsk tsk tsk tsk."

And I went "stupid Cow stupid Cow stupid Cow."

It's not worth it. A human life for a COW.

But the man didn't die. Maybe he'll just develop a morbid fear for cows (or their rears) (because he was facing it will he slipped, fell and tumbled...) (ok la. LAME).

Then footage no.3 in the ranking. A white water rafter filmed in a challenge, died in the challenge.

basically, the raft flipped over, and was pinned under by the strong rapids. Usually they can flip back up themselves, so the friends watching and filming weren't worried.

Until TOO LATE. Then the footage was in slow-mo again, forever showing the bellie up-ed raft.
Wah lao eh, Bian Tai...

I wonder what my dreams are gonna be later...

C-ing Red Part 2

It NEARLY happened.

I neeearly went to tell a teacher off. It was the Last lecture of the day. And the teacher was late. ALWAYS teach soooo s.l.o.w.l.y already, still arrive ten minutes late- it's not the first time.

At the start of the lecture, she already said something that made me "sian diao" . Because she openly admitted that we were THREE lectures behind other groups. I was like "HUH?!"

She said it like it's some trophy slogan.

Then she went on about how stressed she is, how she would return to her office every week, how she would throw her things on her table, how she would *crap* *crap* *crap* *crap!*

Harlow! FreakiN' START already!!!~

She's always doooing that!!! Telling us ALL the redundant and irrelevant stuff... Sometimes she's 'entertaining', cracking things up so we would "better understand and remember" the topic.

At the end of her pr*yer, she said So, can we speed up today?

God, I stared at the ceiling.

Yeah Right. Like you're really capable of that.

Guess what. By the time the lecture ended, the second lecture group was hounding us at the door. YOU SEE LA! Pple already so 可怜 U know! 5PM Lecture... You still wanna delay them!

I think she's the only talented few who can use 45 mins to go through two and a quarter pages (including her arriving late), then another 20 mins for another two. And also the delusional few who's afraid her leacture speed would leave us biting the dust (of the LT carpeting). Please la, at the rate you're going, people are chewing on the binds of their lecture notes praying you'd hurry the freak up. And dee most entertaining few who would smile SO gleefully at the end of the lecture- becoz they've finished what they planned to cover. If all the other module lecturers did that, SB'll be called Kee Siao sch sooner then you can say "P&L Statement".

During her very first lecture, she said "You wun be able to understand 100% of what the lecture is about. Maybe only about __%. But when you go back and read through, and then do your tutorials, it should become 80%. And hopefully when U revise for your exams, u'll understand 100%"

At that time, I was thinking...

Mmmh, This tr is something.

Well, I not exactly wrong now.

Arg. Why am I so mean today, slashing out at her...


*WHY SO MANY INEFFECIENT TEACHERS THIS SEM... WHY?!!*


C-ing Red

Today's forecast: Think twice before talking back to my teachers or parents...

But it didn't tell me my possible rebellion might be due to the shock/ anger/ beliwderment caused by my MOB Ca1 results!!!

My GOD.

I got a C grade! Furthermore it's due to carelessly and complacency... Man, this is a bad start for MOB... But I don't blame the tr (directly), becoz I'm SOOdisappointed.

It's like I didn't even SEE the confounded question! W.H.Y?! Arrrrrg.

Then after that, there was another lesson. And for the first time ever, I felt mean towards the teacher. He always had this strange way of pronouncing some words.

So I though of a movie line from Rush Hour, Chris Tucker: "I don't understaaand the woordss dat are Commmin' outta chur MOUTH.."

Now it's still his lesson. And I'm thinking GD luck to the next few teachers...

HAHAHAHA.

BRAKE HARD!

Last night, I went driving again. This time my top speed was 40km/h, a stark improvement from my initial try: 20km/h. But this is not about my experience...

Something made me laugh REALLLLY hard. Ok, my brother was coaxed to the wheel by my Dad after me. It was only 2nd if not first time being behind the wheel...

Dad went, "OK, try the accelerator." "VVVRRRROOOOMM!" yelled the engine. The car was still 'parked' tho: he just wanted my bro to test the pedals that's all.

OK, your belt; check your mirror again; push to"drive"; release the hand clutch; press first; ok, pull up abit; then release it la!; straighten the wheel; turn out more!; step on the pedal; go straight; more, more; test the brake again...

So my bro followed exactly as he said. Then he started explaining blah blah.

"...test the brake... sometimes I may tell you ...brake harder harder!"

Then my bro REALLY STEPPED HARD on the brake LEH!!!

AHAHAHAHA!!!

I LAUGHED MY HEAD OFF LA!!! (my dad never meant to trick him!!)
The moment he stepped and our bodies were thrown forward, I threw my laughter OUT of my system TOO!

I think it can be heard outside the car man~

Now come to think of it, thank GOODNESS I put on the seat belt!

MY GOD, then for the next five whole minutes, I had to swallow my laughter becoz I didn't want to hurt his morale (for too long). The two them laughed only in a Paiseh paiseh manner like "Heh heh heh!..." And I was like HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR... But I found it incredidulously funny! You noe how challenging it is to UMCHIO is this type of sitch anot?!

I Snorted, 'coughed', chewed my fingers, breathed in deep for countless times to prevent my laughter from doing a major Spill-Out...

Then when we reached home, I reminded my Dad how funny it was then, just so I could laugh heartily and OPENLY again!

*Notice*

For Wanyi:

Aiyo, the tagboard and links all gone right... But not all is lost... I saved the previous template in notepad le... So you can help me do up again! YAY!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WTP
After my writing lessons, I feel alot of passion to write something... I find my teacher really profound man... She has got so many blogs! But she only gave us 2 blogs. The latest one is a journal about her house or her selling it: http://www.justpassingthrough.blog.com and the previous one was... (oh man! I just ran off to get my notebook for her site, and realised I didn't copy it down!) about perspectives... Yep I forgot the URL fer that. Then there's one that goes travelswithjasmine.blog.com but I just found out she deleted it!

OH MAN!

So anyway, today she intoduced 4 new sites about writing to us.
1. http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/virtulit/fiction/elements.asp
2. the one of her house
3. http://www.authorsblog.com
4. www.blog.com -hehehe. This's another blog site which she recommends for us to use for our final Assignment due in week 16. We formed a 3 persons "critique" group and we have to blog out our stories ideas for that assignment, and the other 2 members can/must give comments on it. Coincidentally, my group consists of Nurul, Sangeetha and me! -Malay, Indian, Chinese! Hahaha, this may be the 1st time in my life I've grouped in such a fresh combination! Initially, I only worked with 3 Malay girls for our class work in writing... I kind of enjoy being the minority... Hmmm, Go figure.

Writing for publication's just awesome AWESOME!

The Great Wash
I'm Proud to announce something!!! I USED THE WASHING MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME TO WASH MY JEANS (clothes)!!! Hahaha! I DID IT MYSELF!!! I 'washed', added detergent, 'drained', 'spinned', 'rinsed' and 'spinned' again, MYSELF OK! Hahahaha.

Ok la. Time to stop screaming "sua gu leh U!"...

School
Today, Someone didn't talk to us the whole day. (Not really, she communicated directly to me). So the whole clique felt weird. She didn't even want to sit with us. She tried to sit with everyone ELSE but us, leading the rest of the class to think we quarrelled.

But we didn't. I asked the other 2, they said they never spoke a word to her or vice versa since they met at the platform. It's not like it's never happened before... the last time she was like that TO ME, was when she didn't have enough sleep. And it's not like I'll die not knowing why she's like that, but I just thought of a few possible reasons:

1. Lack of sleep
2. The other 2 didn't acknowledge her presence in the morning
3. I didn't acknowledge her presence in the morning
4. I was late, caused them to be late, walked too slowly to school in the drizzle, was too busy chatting to the other 2
5. I corrected her too many times during her CRS debate
6. I was too friendly to someone she didn't like (which I've no idea who.)
7. I was mean to someone she liked (which I've no idea who too!)
8. I offended her some way yesterday
9. I'm running out of excuses man...
10. Zzzzz

Hai. Yesterday I said our class was coo-coo, now I'm gonna say my clique is coo-coo. It's just weird we keep offended each other periodically. It's like a CYCLICAL practise of our clique- taking turns to piss each other off. I'm making it sound so serious man! Hahaha. But it's not. My clique is wonderful ok! Since it's cyclical, it'll pass! We'll get to loveach other's good points more and tolerate each other's bad points EVENTUALLY.

But I'm telling myself, never EVER do what she did today ever again. It's not fair to my friends. In future, I WILL think twice before letting my mood/emotions affect people close to me. I can't bear to get everybody's spirits down just because I'm unhappy about something.

I say that HERE. But I've been like that to my mum for like as long as I could remember. Let this serve as a strong reminder... ... to myself... I wanna Thank my mum for never slapping me all these years despite my once-bad-arse attitude and personality... Hahahahahaha!!!

I mean (I thought) the older you get, the more you'd know how to consider the consequence, other people's feeling, your own reputation and what not, of your behaviour/action,Right?

*Hey You* *Find me funny?*

Here's something you should know. My class is really quite koo-koo. Take today for example. It was our turn for the yearbook photo shoot.

All the time I was on duty for the past 2 weeks, I was always complaining about other classes being slow (in their brains and/ or movement). I still remember a group of girls from a particular yr 1 class who took THREE DAMN MINUTES to register this sentence: Please form 2 rows between *here* and *here*.

They stood down there and stared at the seats.

But today our class even better! We had 2 shots, 1 formal and 1 informal. I gave them polky to pose with for the informal shot... Then after the photographer took the first, some kept asking "Now informal or formal". And EVRYTIME THE PHOTOGRAPHER SAID INFORMAL, his "in" was silent. HAHAHAHAHA, only those that got COMMON sense knew it was time for informal shot. Those that tried to listen to him ending up saying "Informal LA!"

Then the 1st row pple, only Raymond got the facts right, and kept Trying to stand up for informal. BUT everytime he did that, Some pple at the back will say, SIT DOWN! It's FORMAL! He ended up standing up and sitting down up to 3 times! Bloody paiseh to hold up the classes after us lor! I dunnoe to be pek chek or be tickled by the chaos! Hahaha.

By time the time we got our poses right, the photographer was suffering from internal bleeding........

Anyway the style of clothes Winnie and I were wearing was SUPPOSED to be the theme for our photoshoot. Sad to say, again, in a class full of girls, Miss Communication is no rare visitor. So, only a handful of us the items I listed ie Sunglasses / dark glasses... Heeeeheeee

Below are the footages from yesterday's "Monthly B'dae Celebration"

Shehism - the new philosophy

Today HAD to be the most profound and philosophical day I had in school... The first lesson in school was staaaatss... Mmh, not exactly my kinda subject. But the teacher was totally FASCINATING today.

For the past half of a year, he would mention at nearly every lesson that he had written blah blah blah books, they can be found in blah blah polys, and at blahh blahh libraries... Well, when he does that, I'll juz treat it like he was just doing his own publication.

But today, TODAY. It was DIFFERENT. He shared with us what knew knew and wrote. I don't quite rmb how we got there from a stats question... I think I started with the 2 guys NK and Raymond in class; we always made fun of them going everyway like together...

And the stats question was about hypothesis testing. Sheh then asked NK a debatable question "Are men smarter then women?" Of course NK ans Yes... and some "discussion" followed. So he drew this Taoist symbol.

He started by saying "Look at this symbol... the Ying and the Yang..." Then he started saying some things that are made so much sense but no one has ever spoke of before:

"...This is about balance. In a man (refering to the dark side), there'll come a time when he will cry (refering to the light spot). In a woman (pointing to the light side), if you push her to a corner, she will fight back (refering to the dark spot) .

Then if you see it as good and bad; no matter how good a person seems, he will have some bad in him. Similarly, no matter how bad a person is, there's still some good in him... "

Of course that's not all! He then went on to tell us more about Sun Zi, Sun Bin, Lao Tzu, Kong Tzu (Zi), 36 strategum etc...

For one, he told us about "non-sense" as defined by one of the philosophers... It's Reeeally profound, so I'll do my best in quoting what he said. It went like;

"We usually call something we don't understand as NONSENSE. But actually it's sensing without using our 5 senses ie sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. (Before you -_- read on...). Becausing the word 'sense' in 'non-sense' means sensing, so non-sense means not sensing la. Alot of the world/ nature cannot be defined by sense only wad, like the trees and rivers..."

Ya, I know people'll probably call this non-sense in modern day terms... but just try to soak it in la. Tell yourself, it's profound and it makes sense.

Then he started to talk about this guy, I forgot it's Lao Tzu or Kong Tzu. The only think I'm sure of is he was dying and his disciples were surrounding him in a cave... And he said, "After I've died, just leave me out in the open there..." So his disciplines opposed his wish strongly, saying they must give Shi fu a proper burial underground. So the dying Master retaliated, "What's the difference if I'm going to get eaten by worm underground? Might as well feed me to the starving birds outside..."

To that, Sheh commented, "So you see, his understanding of death is extremely profound... ... There nothing to be afraid about DEATH, the worse thing is DYING. It's the dying process that's painful..."

Immediatedly I was reminded of the poem I experimented with on "Death and Dying" in sec sch!!! I mean it's so amazing to share the same 'philosophy' with this teaher of ours...

He also presented us with this situation: Two stockbrokers bought ten shares. One made profits on ALL ten, while the other lost on 5 and gained 5. Who do you think is luckier? By the looks of how he asked, we knew the ans was the first guy, but some of us still answered "the 1ST GUY LA" and waited for his rebuttal.

The ans: "The 2ND GUY. Because the 2nd guy bought 10 and only lost half, he's considered very lucky already. As for the 1st guy, he went in and won all 10 of his shares, this can't be based on chance/ luck. It's called STRATEGY. This is about the 36 stratagies... " and so on went the lesson...

And the most simple yet impactful statement he made was: "Chinese Leadership is just like a ship. His followers are like water. Water can raise theship to greater heights; it can also capsize it easily."
