Mother: Jodie, go brush your teeth, I can see all the plague there.
Me: HA!. I think it’s plaque.
Mother: No, in her case, its plague.

Cook was slightly nuts today. I suppose it’s better than explosive the last time, when he talked non stop about one little area of economics but with much more force, like a fire hydrant, or a fart that has been held in for too long. Today his usual verbal humour kinda turned a bit physical, [...]

Style

I wrote this in a fit of pissiness
Description is like a camera panning for its subject. It chooses what to look at, and for how long; maybe long enough to count the beads of rain running down a window, or just to give the vague impressions of a woman in a red dress.

Passing Motions

The debate circuit can get very tiring after a couple of years. Organisers at the JC level seem to restrict themselves to motions about nuclear power, terrorism, sex, death penalty, or the vague science motion. And don’t get me started on The Arena. Faaooorwww.

I suspect they wrote the role specially for him after seeing his atrocious dancing as the prime minister in Love Actually. It’s the goofy moves with an expression of utmost concentration, and the strange combination of hesitancy [...]

A Short History

A historical prespective is vital in understanding how I have become the person that I am. I realised this after the terribly interesting make up lecture I had today on the rise of China. So in order to see how I’ve arrived at this destination, I decided to chart my personal history in very historical [...]

Stupid

It’s what the kids nowadays call weed. And it drifts
like clouds from his lips. He hopes no one
comes along tonight, or calls to ask for help.
Help is what he’s most short on tonight.
A storm thrashes outside. Heavy seas
with gale winds from the west. The table he sits at
is, say, two cubits long and one wide.

I know a lot of guys who are operating under the mistaken impression that women like the smell of cologne, the stronger the better. There was a maths teacher in my primary school who would warn his rowdy class of his approaching presence by his smell. I have walked into air-conditioned classrooms in vjc and [...]
