I had a great day today. Weird though, and depressing in parts. The Vj debate camp was strangely held at the Andrew and Grace Home for delinquent youths…and it is a terribly depressing place. I don’t know how anyone can go through it with their mental health intact. Aren’t those places for rehabilitation? I never saw any place so unconducive to that goal before. Maybe after the A’s I shall do some fundraising or something.
On a more cheerful note, I discovered a hidden memory from childhood that gave me great amusement.
His name is Darkwing Duck (weird disney superhero cartoon)
His catchphrase is “I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the [noun] that [verb]s your [noun]
e.g. I am the batteries that are not included
I am the low ratings that cancel your show
I am the fingernail that scrapes the blackboard of your soul
I am the 10 dollar service chargeon all returned checks
And of course “Let’s get dangerous.”
I also learnt today that being at Raffles City on the friday morning during the school holidays mean that you are in great danger of bumping into people you know. I bumped into 3 secondary school debaters, my grandfather (who seems to keep shrinking in size, but not joviality every time I see him), and vanessa, who I had arranged to bump into about 2 hours later than accidental bumping-in time.
Good stuff.
