Onward to 2008
2007 has been an anomalous year for me. It started off so bad and went progressively well in the mid of January, only to turn into a hell of a semester for me in school. But things went well. I kept my nose clean; I wasn’t doing well in two of my class, therefore causing a domino effect to my other classes. Damn the species of those with genitals on the outside! What a foolish way to be distracted...
“Did you know there are two “Ass” in “assassinated”?”
– Me, to Juju, just now.
The ole' question of death
Every-time the question of: “How do you want to die?” arises, I don’t know how to answer it. In my head, I have a scene set out. Here is how I want to die, in the midst of PM Bhutto’s death. I want to be assassinated. Says a lot about me, doesn’t it? I want to be a hot-shot huge politician who is too controversial for people until a group of the population is fed up...
Buster "Rant" Casey
I am currently reading Rant by Chuck Palahniuk. I bought this book back in August and have read around 5 chapters during the semester, most of which are done before sleep. It was a huge mistake because the book is seriously non-violence gore. A lot of animal parts are involved. A lot of the time I want to puke when I read it, so I left it to read during my December break. I have very much enjoyed...

The news outside my room is covering a story about a girl who is entering NUS highschool this coming January. I am currently in my room and going, “Haa-haa. Biggest mistake of your life.”
(A lot of) My friends in UK are pretty dumb
[Redacted]: do u know whats phenomenon and noumenon?
Teah: Like Philosophy?
[Redacted]: i dont take philosophy. i dont know what philosophy is.
Teah: Those are philosophy terms.
[Redacted]: no theyre not! i dont take philosophy.
Teah: It is Philosophy. That's Immanuel Kant's philosophy.
[Redacted]: whatevs teah, i dont take philosophy.
Teah: But you do take English Literature and you do analyse it. A lot of literature are correlated to philosophy.
[Redacted]: not mine.
“Ole Virginity or Bust”
– A sign from a Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote short
“We shall make be-yoo-tee-fool music togezzer.”
– Pepe Le Pew, on For Scenti-mental Reasons. (Teah’s note: For a cartoon, this is CRUDE. I laughed so hard.)
Meep-Meep! Off to Al-boo-Kwoi-Kee!
I watched The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner movie this afternoon. It was epic.
Watch160+ frames.
Obeserving a field work
I’ve been with Chhaya ever since she got here for her field work (she is a NUS Masters student) and I have to say that I enjoy observing what she’s doing with her research. I hate how the Southeast Asian Studies Programme isn’t very supportive with her thesis, because I swear, I really think her research is going to be so FUCKING EPIC because her foundings have been so different...
“The government isn’t realising that taking Political Science would so...”
– Chhaya
Nobody really care what your G.P.A. was →
Via PostSecret I know they don’t but an Honours is better than a BA. I find it hard to wrap my hard around that information.
“I wished for Jan to get over me; I wished for Phyllis a plasma TV; I wished for...”
– Michael Scott, The Office (US)
The Office observation
I really think Kelly and Ryan have the best dysfunctional yet cute dynamic together. Kelly and Ryan are also my favourite characters on the show. By a mile of everyone else. Ryan deserves to be a dick on the fourth season.
We Will Rock You, in Singapore →
HOLY SHIT!
“Where’s Wicense to Led?”
– Me, to my brother. Asking him where the License to Wed DVD is. This mispronunciation happens when you’re sick, mkay?
My eye situation
My left eye has stopped twitching, but it’s now red. Apparently, Momsicle thinks that a vein burst? I don’t know. I have always associated a vein bursting or being cut as=DEAD. I am, in fact, still alive. But now my nose is giving me issues. It’s as if something (like a body gnomes!) decided that I have too much fluid in me. Too much, as in, NOT 1500ml. It (BODY GNOMES!) thinks...
Facebook: Hug a Jew Day →
This made me go “aww”. I personally do not mind Jewish people (I know a bunch). I don’t see a reason of hatred over something that happened years and years ago in history. Let alone something I—or this country (Brunei)—was never personally involved in.
Watch
My left eye is still twitching, by the way.
Not TGIF
Fridays in my area of the country means bad Internet day. This factor, I can justify to you, by the very fact that it happens very, very, very regularly since I was 17 or so. I am yet able to understand whether it is the Internet company’s fault, or just sheer bad luck in our household. But really, bad luck almost every Friday? I do not think it is a coincidence. It’s Saturday now. I...
“I’m not considerate of my fellow Man!”
– Jaye Tyler, Wonderfalls
WatchI haven’t seen it yet (streaming now) BUT OMG, THEY’RE HUGGING!!!! ETA: I’m kinda disappointed at the illusion of Jake and Amir finally hugging. But I can’t get over it. XP
My eye’s been twitching since last night.
Body clock "control switch" found →
In a few years time, they would tell us it was a false alarm. I hate scientists sometimes.
Faculty 'zine
Teah says: I had a chat with my editor yesterday.
Teah says: he forced me for an article before the 31st
Teah says: For whatever reason he said I will be given an extension of datelines? Like... I won't be able to finish up an article before the 31st...? (31st being the dateline for everyone else)
Teah days: 31st is a long time away. It's only been a day since I was forced to write an article and I'm already one page done and one more to go.
Jake says: maybe you're such a good writer compared to every other writer for the mag.
Jake says: maybe everyone else isn't as dependable as u are.
Teah says: hmm... I don't think so.
Jake says: what i meant was maybe your head has too many ideas. others don't.
For those fo you who don't know me too well
I have been re-watching Wonderfalls for the umpteenth time, and as more and more I watch of this wonderful show, I am reminded that, asides from inanimate animal objects that can talk to me, Jaye Tyler is pretty much leading my life. Except I received a scholarship and I will get a dead-end job that is not in retail. I also have a heavy dosage of her attitude; particularly the sarcasm. So, you...
Male species
I am more self-destructive than I initially thought I was. When something good comes my way, I find a reason to ward it off and build a shield around me. I look more toward the negativity than the advantage that I will get out of it-because I am that ironic and complicated optimistic pessimist. I don’t want to have a relationship. Like, ever. I’m not asexual or anything, but I think...
WatchMe, in a nutshell.
Sunshine daisies, butter mellow
Jake: LMFAO
Jake: YOU ARE HILARIOUS, WOMAN.
Jake: and you are the sunshine of so many's life!
Jake: You are made of sunshine on a bad mood.
Teah: Is that an analogy to "you are too funny but extremely sarcastic. I love and need you, but you need to stfu sometimes."?
Jake: LOL. pretty much.
