kitten
Sunday, June 5, 2005

for those who are wondering what happened to my kitten, it died after getting diahorrea for 6 days. The worst thing was, it expired on my watch. I was listening to music and I didn't notice it mew piteously. And when I got round to it, it was lying there, not breathing, with its eyes half opened...

Talking to the voices
Tuesday, May 24, 2005

Sowah: good bye space cadet, this is as good as a trip to the moon.
Watt: I heard the first thing in space was a dog?
Jenny: It might have been anything, a thriving colony of bacteria on a chunk of earth blasted into space, a stray broadcast of the Olympic games 1936, or the enlightened consciousness of Indian gurus.
Watt: I see.
Jenny: It doesn't matter, you see. A trip to space means nothing.
Watt: It can't mean nothing.. nothing at all?
Jenny: Meaning is what we make of the world.
Watt: Even if I were the first man on earth?
Jenny: Meaning exists solely for the benefit of humans themselves. There isn't any structural meaning to what exists or happens.
Sowah: That isn't right. If he were the first man on earth, then you are the creator.

My father, cream of the crop, screamed at me for not answering the phone, i couldn't hear because I was listening to music. And ranting about I'm not doing anything when he doesn't even have a job. He screamed about how he could not depend on me for anything yadayada, how I should leave the house yadayada. Of course I have that up my sleeve. I'm fuming mad but I'm not going to show it.

sunken ship
Tuesday, May 3, 2005

I have decided to call a friend, Rvn, for a night out. At a place at Cclr road, in an innocuously named building called Rvr Wlk. The evening starts out not well; I am late by half an hour. I am wearing a tight purple sheath over a black top, under the cover of night; I am less embarrassed by it. She turns up with her trademark glasses and a black-white scarf tied around her neck. The night is young, hundreds of people are milling about watching people launch themselves into the air in a kind of reverse bungee cage. There's a kind of reverence as the crowd watches the people who line up for their ascent into the heavens. The moon is gold-pearl and a little bloated; I imagine the people in the bungee at their heights, arms thrown out, the blood warming and coursing through their veins, wiping their tears, laughing like lunatics.

There's a German brewery we turn to, the place is filled with mahogany, orange lights filter down on patrons. A sharp, young Malay man, waitery, fills us up with a jug of stout. The creamy yellow bubbles burst upon the brackish stout. We launch into one of my pseudo-intellectual conversations- after a while we talk about rap music and how only the disfranchised minority take up on it- The stout is pleasant in a ribena smooth fashion, fortunately, she is one of the people who take to stout, and only few of the women I know who do so. Talk goes from a slightly silted fashion to a more pleasurable round-about way, though I keep wondering if I am talking loudly, because I feel the two Caucasians on my right wondering. I start talking too much about how much liquor it takes, and we order a pint of clear beer- it is golden , but a little to sweet for both of us. Sometimes, I am pleasantly surprised when my friends make the same conclusions as me. I keep feeling though, I am not intellectual enough to debate or say anything of interest to her, but I sense she doesn't really mind. We're almost bouncing when we leave the brewery.

We search for Hme, the place we're going, making back and forth like two dumb animals in a cage, but it is strangely humorous as we lose our way. I make a few calls, but never enough to understand much, since my knowledge of road names are garbled hopelessly. We finally find a crowd, woman and men smoking and chatting, and blasting bass and shining lights like a ufo beacon. The place is smoky, ringed with cheerful little high stools and tables, and a bluish-purplish atmosphere. We torpedo ourselves to the bar, a glass of watered down vodka dresses my throat, then I offer to buy her another bottle of beer. A few of my classmates are there, but nobody has started dancing. Chris Ho appears, but I cannot recognise his features, I was looking out for his tattoos. I feel an urge to dance, but she desists, so I settle for a smoke- which usually doesn't do anything for me anyway. I am very happy to see Lvi for some reason. She has a page-boy crop which looks good on her. I miss Sj for some other reason, that's she's not there, that she would enjoy it.

When I finally drag her to the sunken tub of concrete, Anz tells me his sister is playing. I sign thumbs up. The music is refreshing, indie stuff I recognise. A former classmate sees me and calls my older name, I am embarrassed, but i return the favor by recognising her. We kinda yell into each other ears above the thumping bass. Hzn looks sad, he seems sad these days. I feel kinda sentimental, loving the music, recognising, recognising. A club is something like a sanatorium, a bombed out deep ship, really, messed up people.

Idiota!
Monday, April 25, 2005

It all adds up... we feel 32% certain that you are... A Man!
Compared to others...

3% more male than you — 2% like you — 95% more female than you How do we know? Well, deep down, your gender affects everything about you, from your favorite number to your views on Canada. Many men who took the test think and act just like you, as you can see from the graph above. Statistically speaking, you are a man—whether you know it or not.

Idiots!

You are a Dreamer!
(Submissive Introverted Abstract Feeler)

You are a DREAMER (SIAF)— reserved and imaginative. You are basically the shy, silent type. You don't have much interest in facts and figures or most of what's going on around you, but the internal worlds you build for yourself are rich and complex. Luckily, your creativity and strong heart mean you have a deep personality evident to anyone who gets to know you. It's just that not many people do. Talk to yourself less, other people more.

(how can be???)
91% are more Dominant than you
(this is a cool fact i was surprised to know.)
The most common personality type is Dreamer at 12% of test takers.

summary: dreamers are common, pain in the ass, navel-gazing nut cases.. hahaha... oh shit. that's just me.

KT Tunstall
Monday, April 25, 2005

The Black Horse and the Cherry Tree. What a Beckettist title. KT Tunstall has a very nice voice, a kind of commercial-indie mix which is quite appealing. Stoppin' the Love, Universe and U, Another place to fall are some of the more standout tracks.

Came home yesterday to find my door locked. I got it opened and my sister freaked me out by standing at the door with full bloomed hair and jammies in the half-evening light. My poor peripheral eyesight for men prevented me from seeing her bf until later. They were sleepin on the floor. I quickly conspired to escape to the bathrm, making excuses I wanted to sleep. poor young couples need their space.

Had pizza for breakfast. This only happens because my parents are in Chiangmai. Woohoo! Darn, but my grandma had to come by and stay. Short-lived joy. Hur-hur. Sis made a gloopy cheese macaroni. I asked, 'did u put any sour stuff inside?'. Turns out it had spoiled overnight. I think if mold grew on my food I would think it was spinach. Hur.

WILD JAGUAR BITES
Tuesday, April 19, 2005

A black jaguar jumped out and bit a tourist at the zoo today. I can't imagine why people would be shocked. Newsflash! WILD JAGUAR BITES!! Shocking discovery. I can already predict the off-hand answers of vox pox:
Man 1: Er.. That's so shocking! They should chain up all the animals!
Woman 1: The zoo should implement some security alarm if the animals escape. I think they should hang bells around all the big cats!
Woman 2: The poor animal
Man 2: They should built some safety shelter like those underground bunkers if the animals escape. *laughs*
Woman 2: The poor animal! They aren't putting it to sleep right? SPCA rulez!
Woman 3: Aiyoh! so dangerous! I think I will not go to the zoo anymore for the next XX years!
okie, you know they do this on a slow news day to keep a news quota. But with the Vatican electing the new pope and the *pokes poke*/*pokes side*/*pokes arm*/*pokes eye*/*pokes eye, nose, head*/*pokes headnoseeyesarmpitknee pokepokpok* old Sino-Jap fight, it's abit unlikely.

Notre Musique
Tuesday, April 19, 2005

History is a series of stories told by the victors. Yet the stories of the vanquished are more compelling. A young woman asks: "Why aren't revolutions started by peaceful people?" And the tongue in cheek answer: "Because peaceful people start libraries." Another answer: because those who act cannot sit long enough to think and write about it, while those who write can only write about the experiences of others. Another, the defeated who do not have their poetry are defeated. The victors have everything. For every positive a negative must supply the space for the positive to be. The negative must exist. 'Shot, Reverse Shot'. Watching Godard's new film, Notre Musique (our music) is like an investigation of life from your favourite lit teacher.
