I read one short story and I fell in love with it. Then I found out there's a whole folder of stories with this guy in it.
Introducing Prof. Webster! The review goes:
"Delicious! Old (nay, dilapidated,) logic puzzles and timeless philosophy, chopped fine and strained through the gaulimaufreic brain of a Professor so far off the wall he's hanging out on the balcony, seasoned with cross-cultural romance and a shake of whimsy. Serve warmly, garnished with a sprig of sage.
You will want to lick the bowl out and then clang your spoon on the edge."

Kudos to those who've taken the effort for this initiative... SingaporeWriting.com!.
Short stories, competitions, and a forum. Basic, but definitely a start. Build this community up, people! It's brand new! Let's get things going!
Bleah. Stupid me decided to touch that Sims CD I spotted on the computer table. Now I'm hooked on it. Bloody EA Games. The only reason I'm hooked is because the damn game got my voyeuristic, 'consumeristic' side involved. Damn them. Now me and Heike are hooked on it again.
Oh well. Sims 2 rocks. I've watched the trailers, seen the screenshots, and all I can say is; awesome. It's so realistic, in the sense that the Sims grow this time, they actually have moods about certain thoughts... I can't explain it all in so few words! Then there's the better graphics, the wealth of items to choose from and things to do (partying, sex, housework, yada.) Its so awesome it looks like porn. Its kinda sad that most of us players get hooked on it because of the fact we're controlling this little simulated electronic life-form. Who wouldn't want to be 'God'? Then there's the voyeuristic side again. Oh well!
Whatever, I'm only updating because I promised to yesterday. And even then, I broke my promise because its 1am Friday already, an hour past Thursday. Damn Sims.
Hang on a moment, a quick update here: Heike just informed me that teachers go around reading blogs!
"Joy to the world..."
I'm quite fine with people, regardless of whether they're teachers or not, reading my blog. But hey, teachers, if you are reading this, do me a favour and click the comment link at the bottom of this entry? Or post a tag on the tagboard on the bottom-left of this webpage. And then, bookmark this blog. Hehe... Just kidding.
Down with teen cyberculture! Carine just told me that Stella was thinking of setting up a website for writers (bloggers with brains). Good idea? A little elitist, but heck, what am I anyway?
Good song - "Hungry like the Wolf" by Reel Big Fish
Good article - Frontpage news on Monday, Singapore is cracking down on filesharers!
Good book - Haven't read anything lately. Oh well.
Shall update tomorrow, see ya.
Yes, I'm sorry if I haven't been updating much. I've been bugged, harassed, practically stalked by people so that I would just update this thing. To tell you the truth I'm really in a big, big daze nowadays about what to blog. Oh well!
So anyway, I just had a nice chat with Carine about good English and all that. According to her, she bludgeons the poor people in her poly. over their bad language, and well guys, if you know me, I can get quite brutal about it.
Sometimes people ask, why do you care about other people's English? Why?
Die English : So do they speak well?
Carine *My d: not all of them
Die English : Did the Bimbo Army deploy anyone there?
Carine *My d: No.
Carine *My d: not in my class
Die English : Lucky.
Carine *My d: in the course yes
Die English : I'm fighting an entire battalion.
Carine *My d: and we criticise them like noone's
business
Die English : Its a one-guy army on my side.
Carine *My d: u'd be out of there soon!!!!
Carine *My d: so smile!
Die English : Out of there, and into somewhere good I
hope. Where the fight isn't so tough.
Die English : But then...
Die English : If I'm deployed somewhere easy... who will
fight the hordes threatening to take over elsewhere?
Die English : The war is doomed.
Carine *My d: haha
Carine *My d: let the weak die with the weak
Die English : And leave us the last ones standing? What
will happen to this world???
Carine *My d: we'll hv peace
Carine *My d: less misunderstandings and intolerance
"Can have one kilo of meat can or not?"
"What you say?
"One kilo can?
"You wanna kill who? Got ploblem arh? Lai, settle!!!"
The goal of language is to communicate, not to confuse others (or to gabble).
