We need more followers

I was hoping that by having 2 posts in one day, it would work.



Well, is it working? You can thank me later. :)

3 bunnies done :D

oh. I forgot (well, it was somewhere in the recesses of my mind) about the year ending. hmm.

Sometimes, I get plagued by bouts of inadequacy.
Then, the bouts of inadequacy are attacked by plagues of inadequacy.
Usually, I stop thinking here.

I'm not a newyearresolution-yaynewme! kind of person ><

I liked that song!

Isn't life fun? 8D

Well it's been four days

But you can't expect anything from us, we've been through too much emotional distress lately with thoughts of 2010 leaving clouding our minds.

It's leaving.

IT IS NEVER COMING BACK.

OMG D:

When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you...

I went to church today

A man (highly respected, of course) was launching into this amazing speech but the microphone was not working in favour of him and there were some technical problems.

then this little boy behind us was like "Mummy why does he talk with pok-pok-pok sound?"

So cute! :D

We give too much damns.

Yay, deal!
(that post was written *specifically* to be deleted, though. But ohwell. I shall not argue. Because it's Christmas! Though friendly-non-hurting-arguments can be fun, sometimes.)

On that note,

May everyone reading this have a merry, happy, tappy Christmas! And may everyone not reading this have a even merrier, happier, tappier Christmas, because you need it more than us, without the benefit of a delightful brown and red malteser-blog.

(There. This picture is cute. Hem.)

A great day at Botanic gardens

We should stop tolerating this deleting post nonsense. Sometimes we make mistakes and choose not-cute dalmatians but that's not enough a reason to erase a post and sweep the mistake under the rug.

(my english = fails)

No, we should be proud of our mistakes and proud that we DARED to have mistakes and learn from it (such as, from now on only cute dalmatians are allowed; ones that don't actually have spots around its nose, thus making its nose a splatter of black)

We are no longer having posts being deleted. Now have a great day at Botanic Gardens. I only dare to post photos taken by myself in case someone bangs on the door about copyright issues and plagarism.

PS Just kidding about the dalmation :D

101 Dalmatians

I have no reason to post a post, other than the Urge To Not Let This Blog Die.

And here, I shall insert a picture, the ultimate space-taker.


There you go, a dalmatian puppy. Because puppies are almost always cuter than their adult versions.

When I think of something substantial I shall make another post. Meanwhile, I shall contemplate deleting this post, until someone else deletes it for me or tells me the dalmatian photo is cute enough for it to stay.

Wheeee she's back! (100th post, too)

Why, hello.


Sometimes, I think I think too much too! But then I realize that me thinking that I think too much is clearly a sign of thinking too much, and then I tell myself to stop. (Though we should. Think about thinking, that is. Habits of mind! But thinking about thinking about thinking?)


Ohoh I used to do puzzles too. And am now reproducing bunnies. Only two so far, though. And one's a fierce bad one, and the good one's sad.


I deleted it because I wasn't even remotely happy at it. As in, it sounded murky and a tad self-absorbed. And too long.


I don't want to think about Chinese Os.

Ribbons and newspapers

image by Ornamelle

Most of me thinks: Pretty! <3

A part of me thinks: Instead of reading our newspapers and recycling them, we now can read them, gift-wrap with them over and over again - providing one does not rip the wrapping paper when opening a present - until the said newspaper travels all over the world successfully. Then it can be labeled as World Traveler or something, and be sold for a incredibly large sum of money. And it would be framed and hung by the crazy collector who paid for it. Oh wait, but then there would be many of such newspapers, causing the price for them to drop. But I suppose it would be rare for newspaper to survive for so long, so that’s okay then. And those ‘failed’ World Travelers could be recycled. But then there would be people who’d try to pass off old crinkly newspapers as genuine World Travelers. And then there would be these experts, who would claim to be able to discern its genuineness. (Is that the correct term?) But more often than not, they would probably be in cahoots with the fakers. Then collectors would demand a proper certification for such experts, which means a special division in historian schools or something set up. And the rest of the world, minus the collectors and the experts and the people who manage to sell these prized newspapers, would wonder what has the world become to these days. Unless they get hold of one of those said newspapers and manage to sell them, and then they’d start praising this industry.

Another part of me thinks: I should stop thinking too much.

SUGAR RUSH

I wasn't going to post because too much activity in malteser tear here results in inactivity over the next 100 years.

Anyway what happened to Aletheia's post! She did vaguely type something about deleting it but I see no reason for her to delete it! :O

I guess in life sometimes when people want to be happy they originally have this goal to work towards, thinking that when they reach it they shall be happy!

But then after they reach their goal, they become greedy and want something better, and every time they get it they want something more and in the end they wasted their lives thinking about the thing which would make them happy rather than enjoying any process.
Or they would be happy for a while, but then we move on to seek other forms of happiness because rarely does one thing allow us to stay happy for a long period of time.

Well, maybe love does but I wouldn't know about that :(

Right now baking life shall make me happy for 20 minutes.

the return of the sandrasaidso

Maltesers tear here is fully alive! Of sorts.

[Aside: I declare blogging on Maltesers tear here a very distracting(-one-from-one's-Chinese-tuition-homework-when-one-was-on-a-roll-as-can-be-seen-by-one-completing-six-questions-in-a-row-which-is-practically-unheard-of) activity. And I also declare that the previous sentence's odd sentence structure is purely intentional. You're supposed to read all the hyphenated words, pause and then go back and read it as '... distracting activity'.]

[Then, if/when you are still confused, dismiss it as one of sandrasaidso's brain farts.]

And ThinkOrange, I am impressed! The puzzle seems to be shaping up nicely. When I was slightly younger, I remember (warning: nostalgic moment) my aunt tried to get us to do Something Useful To Occupy Our Time during the holidays. Which meant pages with workshops for children and such torn off from the newspaper; visits to some jigsaw puzzle shop (which, thinking back, must have been amazing, but I can't seem to remember where we've been to) which did leave us with a 300 piece puzzle (because, as ThinkOrange so rightly pointed out, adults seem to think 1000 piece puzzles will never be completed, which I supposed would be true for our rather youngish selves back then) but I only did the interesting i.e. easy bits but the whole family did manage to finish it eventually; and a cross-stitching exercise which resulted in a bookmark, the only cross-stitched product I did.

(Good luck going through the previous paragraph. Isn't this one comparatively nice and short?)

I think I shall end off with an abrupt ending. Bye.

[Edit: I decided that after the much dreaded Chinese O levels next year, I shall celebrate by buying a jigsaw puzzle from that lovely shop and complete it. Just because I can. And also because it's fun.]

It's been three days

And now we have a photo-of-the-threeday (you know like photo of a day, photo of a week, aha.)

THIS IS A 1000 PIECE PUZZLE WHICH MY PARENTS DID NOT ALLOW ME TO BUY THINKING THAT IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO PIECE WITH OUR LACK OF SKILLS BUT SICHENG MADE IT THERE...(alone). Nevertheless, it's something worth applauding, yes?

More pictures?

A malteser! Don't tear it, though.

(I was thinking of putting up another picture, actually. But it was sicheng taking a photo of herself, and hence of a rather questionable nature. hmm.. sandrasaidso?)

With the return of Aletheia, light shines upon maltesers-tear here again

Let's love life!

-No title-

Hey check this out I can post images

Duffy! (beggingyouformercy)

Dear sweet and red-brown thing,

Shall I offer my sincerest apologies for the abrupt leave of absence (however inevitable it was), to express my deepest regrets for leaving your surfaces unadorned and bare for such a prolonged period (though there was a post - it's just gone now), to ask your pardon for abandoning you in the depths of the shambolic, tangled nets of the web (but I doubt your sentience)?

Your sincerely, un-sarcastically, and a tad amusedly, (really)

aletheia.

:D

It's sad

That blogs cannot be closed. they can only slowly gather internet dust (which are colourless and sparkle in the sun), the measly few blog posts left to take up insignificant space in the big internet world, no one notices them, people who brushes past the blog checks the date, realizes it is an abandoned blog, and leaves.

I READ THIS BOOK (spent practically the whole day and got a couple of headaches throughout but I made it through alive whee) named ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE.

Wow imagine a 100 years of solitude! It's a rather cool book, with the end going like this: races condemned to 100 years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.

Right now I might not be able to quote it directly from memory (still need a little help from resources) but when I do, I'll become one of those silent and brooding but full of intelligence people whose silence speaks volumes and words that are uttered are rich with knowledge and even more intelligence.

Yeah man.

A photo of grass!

:O My image does not want to be uploaded. :O

Sandra is overseas and Aletheia is MIAing forever

Do you miss us? Here are some air kisses. *******

We've been terribly busy, and it has been a few months since I last ate maltesers, which probably explains why this blog is no longer updated so often.

But it's alright, once we stop being so busy (about 3 years later) we'll come back and eat more maltesers and type more nonsense.

Don't be too sad, here are more air kisses: ********


WHEE :D

Reader #584267

Just so that Sicheng's melancholy post isn't up first to remind me of how our blog is so sad and lonely and abandoned and lost and cold and you get the idea.

I am Reader Number 584267. Salutations!

I have a thin but rather pleasant voice. I drink blood. I'm a trapper. I have millions of cousins.

Nevermind. Good-bye!

Dear readers

I used to like to think there's someone out there who actually reads our blabberings and useless thoughts, and would miss us when we are MIAing somewhere in the small city of Singapore.

But now, after being gone for 5 days, it is apparent that no one is missing us.

Dear readers, do you not miss us?

oil thingamajig!

You could shave your head completely bald and liberally pour whatever-bald-people-pour-on-their-head-to-make-them-look-shiny-it-reminds-me-of-oil to make it look shiny and hope it catches on.

Nah, that wouldn't happen (the catching on, that is). Hope someone as famous as Elvis Presley (?!) wears the same hairstyle so you could be fashionable, or hope you become famous as Elvis Presley so that the hairstyle would be fashionable, or hope that someone labels you as a trendsetter. Albeit a fail one. But that's not the point.

Or - there's always the easiest option - become a hermit and hide in your house forever and never venture out so you wouldn't have to worry about facing people with your hair. Or the lack of. Your wife can do the grocery shopping for you. You could cook in return. I hope that you can cook then.

Rainbow Wigs

Nothing like rainbow wigs to brighten the day.

What are wigs made of anyway? Well, why would you want to know?

Would you wear a wig? If you're balding and cannot afford treatment at Beijing 101, despite hinting at your wife that Beijing 101 vouchers would be a perfect birthday gift?

What would you do?

I wouldn't get a wig. I would rather shave my head. Wigs come alive at night. Beware.

This is just not working out

When you tear here, Maltesers no longer come out from the bag. Instead of reaching in to have delicious little maltesers roll into your palm, you grab air.

It's empty.

There's nothing anymore.

We need to venture into a new business. This is simply not working out.

We shall talk about hair instead--from November 6 onwards, maltesers-tear here will become a hair blog, where hair non-gurus discuss top trends, hair colours and keratin. (did I even spell that right)

knock knock

Were you expecting a knock-knock joke? I'm sorry, there will be no knock-knock joke.

I'm just knocking a bit of life into this almost defunct blog.

Almost.

As you can see, I'm injecting lots of paragraphing. I would like to fool you and say it's for Effect, but really, it's in the hopes of making this post look longer.

There, that paragraph above didn't look too bad. It's not that short.

I've run out of substantial content to type. What a lie. There's no substantial content. I've run out of nonsense to type.

Shall I leave you with a quote or something? Yes I shall. Nuggets of wisdom, as they say.

"A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he could chew." - Herb Caen

That was the first of the list of wisdom quotes. As far as they go, it's not too bad.

And then Sicheng came back

Awwww.
Fact 1: Eyebags are the same size as your eyes. This is because eyebags are direct reflections of how tired we are, so when the WHOLE eye is tired, we'll get eyebags, so eyebags are the same size as our eyes.

Fact 2: Pluto the ex-planet sunk into depression, and it's up to us to save it by shooting maltesers into space!

Fact 3: THIS, this is closer to turquoise than our class tee colour.

has the haze cleared?

It was lovelily cold last night. I was walking home with my mom from the mrt and we stopped at the bridge across the canal for ages and faced the wind.

It was better than ECP because it was cold.

If you didn't experience the cold or the wind last night, this is justification that Pasir Ris > Some Ulu Place.

It was cold just now, but now that the sun has risen higher it's not so cold anymore. If I reach my hand far out of the window, I still can catch the coolness.

I think the 烟雾 has released its clutches on Singapore. At least, for now. I can see pretty far, but still not the blurry skyscrapers all the way in the heart of Singapore.

I need to stop rambling.

HEY HEY YOU YOU

Smile, darlings,

because everything will be okay!

Whee Sunshine!

Life is exciting

I refreshed the page twice but the layout did not change even though Aletheia claimed she was changing it.

So I did the unexpectable.

I defied gravity and stood up.

nincompoop

Should I be disturbed? Yes I should. Did I expect better from ThinkOrange and Aletheia? Nope. Am I disturbed? Nope.

Perhaps you could say my brain has pooped out. It's probably because I'm pooped from EYAs and Class Matters and Japan Matters. Although I maintain that I'm not a poop.

Signing off now, my name is Sandra, bringing you the latest poop in the world of maltesers.

(If you are highly disturbed or confused, refer to the list of definitions Aletheia posted - if you need more help, refer to them in this order: 2b, 2a, 5, 4. If you are Aletheia or ThinkOrange, hi.)

P.S. I thought banana splits had vanilla/strawberry/chocolate flavours. Every banana split I've had in my life had those flavours. But then again I haven't eaten many splits. Or the only type I recall eating is Swenson's. I am reminded of the last time I ate Swenson's. (This is where I sink into an armchair and my eyes glaze over with sentimentality.) My cousin had 8 sundae vouchers that expired the next day. We ate four between the three of us and gave the rest to a family sitting besides us.

I know you wish you were sitting beside us on that day.

To Poop Is Serious Business

poop |poōp|1: noun (also poop deck);c the aftermost and highest deck of a ship, esp. in a sailing ship where it typically forms the roof of a cabin in the stern.2: verb [ trans. ] (usu. be pooped) informal; exhaust : I was pooped and just flopped into bed.poop out stop functioning : the analog tape fluttered slightly in pitch but didn't poop out.3: noun informal; excrement.verb [ intrans. ]: defecate.4: noun informal; up-to-date or inside information : what’s the latest poop from campaign headquarters?5: noun informala stupid or ineffectual person. (perhaps a shortening of nincompoop)
There. Ah, Sicheng. XDXD
Do not worry, for you are not alone. A little green eye-less alien with big feet and an antenna (LGELABFA) has not pooped today. This is very worrying, for newborns should generally poop a bit. Especially since the pressure in the poor thing is very high, with the amount of stuffing that went into it.Would you like to see the LGELABFA (pronounced 'l-gel-abfa')? Yes, you would! It is dying to see you, too. In fact, it's cells are so excited, they are now merely vibrating about their fixed positions! How exciting!
He's waving hello. See the toe?

Poop

In an attempt to savage the terrible state this blog is in (pardon the misuse of language my English cmi), I shall assume everyone cares to know about my glorious day and the mundane things I did.

1. We ordered a cake via internet for my sister. It was tough trying to choose the ice-cream flavours. I was skeptical about the flavour banana split. Isn't banana split a banana with tiny scoops of ice-cream beside it and was invented just so the big banana can fill the bowl and less ice-cream can be served? I can't imagine it being a flavour. My mom said it's probably just banana flavoured ice-cream but I would not settle for that.

In the end, after googling what is Rocky Road, we chose that and cookies n cream. Yes, exciting news.

2. I replied emails. They sort of just go to and fro and makes me feel like just calling the person up and talk, and I'm sure we talk faster than we type. We do, right?

3. I went shopping. I realized my legs are really really stubby and I really really need to exercise. And then I realized no amount of exercise can help slice off the layers of fats in my stubby legs so I spent 5 minutes mourning about my fate.

4. I read half a book, then decided I was way too busy to read a book and here I am.

5. So that this post will not go off topic, I did not poop today. Is that bad? Are we supposed to poop everyday? How can one person have so much poop? Wait is poop a noun or a verb? So do you say I pooped a poop?

I shall counter sandrasaidso's rather(?!) short post!

"In a desert plain in Tanzania, in the shadow of the volcano Ol Donyo Lengai, there’s a dune made of volcanic ash. The beautiful thing is that it moves bodily. It’s what’s technically known as a barchan, and the entire dune walks across the desert in a westerly direction at a speed of about 17 meters per year. It retains its crescent shape and moves in the direction of the horns. What happens is that the wind blows the sand up the shallow slope on the other side, and then, as each sand grain hits the top of the ridge, it cascades down on the inside of the crescent, and so the whole horn-shaped dune moves.

Steve Grand points out that you and I are, ourselves, more like a wave than a permanent thing. He invites us, the reader, to “think of an experience from your childhood — something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all, you really were there at the time, weren’t you? How else would you remember it? But here is the bombshell: You weren’t there. Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made. If that doesn’t make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, read it again until it does, because it is important.” "

, to quote Richard Dawkins quoting Steve Grand. I rather like it. Don't you?

It's like, 'oh. 8)'

I just finished The God Delusion! It took me ages and ages and ages to read, but :D

Reading Richard Dawkins is rather taxing, though, and even though I have finished it, my mind still feels busier than normal o.o It that strange? My mind working when I am not thinking? hem.

Go and read it, perhaps? Or something else by him, if you're a rather religious person.

(I admit that was a very sad excuse for a post. But I am Lazy. There, I said it.)

dear kind souls

(I see we have branched out into Graphic Design from the moisturizers!) We should have a logo for our new brand of moisturizers! Or an advertisement. Or something. And I shall doodle something on paintbrush because gimp takes so long to load.

This can be the front! Lazy to include a background colour, because if there was, it'd probably have to be a variant of (shit) brown. So, no.

I will possibly design the back! Which I completely assure you will be as ugly.

Aletheia is a blur blob

I drew all these a while ago, before it occured to me revising for exams takes a really long time.

All things yellow evolved from one banana

New: Maltesers moisturizer

Combined with years of ground breaking research, secret and deadly technology and the support of many trees(they swayed along in agreement when the wind comes),

Introducing the Maltesers moisturizer. Colours in milk chocolate brown, dark chocolate brown, and shit brown.

Maltesers moisturizer is made of 10% maltesers extract and sunshine, after scientists found out that adding flakes of maltesers in moisturizer helps clog pores and result in breakout, allowing one to feel tired and oily. Use on eyes also causes stomata eyes(aka puffy looking pink guard cells).

What are you waiting for? Unleash the beast in you and purchase it from the buck-toothed auntie downstairs now!

Moisturizes with aloe vera & vitamin E

Best for baby. Best for you.

Enriched formulation with the skin enhancing the benefits of natural Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, with added moisturizer to provide relief to dry skin. Fast absorbing without greasy after-feel, leaving skin baby soft, baby smooth.

Directions: Pump onto palm and apply on body.

There you go.

yeah I like iwh

I just have issues with iah and dh. But iwh's fine (:

I wanted to say something. But I forgot what I wanted to say. I'm getting old.

Why is having short term memory loss associated with getting old? I mean, I know when you're getting older, you tend to forget more stuff I guess. But young people forget stuff too. Like, they mug and cram for exams a few days before and forget everything immediately afterwards. Or they forgot what they ate for breakfast in the morning. (Occasionally, okay!) Or what they were about to say. It happens to everyone.

Poor old people.

teehee is :')

For some odd reason, whenever someone's loved one passes away (to me at least, ie. everybody), I feel sad. Like the crying tearing sad.

heh.

On a happier-ish (is it?) note,

IWA sounds kinda nice! Like ee-wah. I wanna eattttt -> eeeeewaaaaahhhhhhh. yes? Yes! :D

I think abbreviations don't really mean what they stand for. Like lol isn't really laugh out loud, and when I go haha I don't actually go haha. They have a life of their own!

Go forth, and reproduce, dear abbreviations. Do take note, that you have to obey the Rules Of Evolution, and never, ever have two vowels next to each other, or be too long, or be too short, or turn pink.

What's the point of abbreviations?

When people use CMI, I used to think "okay that means...-searches through brain-dictionary-cannot make it."
Next, my brain fits "cannot make it" back into the sentence.
Then, I think about the sentence and finally decides it's funny/agreeable.

But nowadays when people say CMI, my brain skip steps and associates CMI with this slight feeling of hopelessness which will be used to decide whether the sentence is funny/agreeable.

IMAGINE AN ABBREVIATION EVOKING FEELINGS. D: that's the first sign that they are going to take over the world.

Now don't say I didn't warn you.

bu- but think about it

Why IAH, DH or IWH probably won't work:

(For speaking purposes) Try saying them out loud. Try getting used to the feel of them. It sounds odd, no? Also, when one uses abbreviations verbally, they are often used as part of a sentence, for example, "______ sure cmi". IAH and IWH are independent clauses in themselves, and hence it makes you sound immensely retarded when you say them. DH, on the other hand, stands for 'damn hungry' which is a phrase. However, because it has two letters, it doesn't sound as fluent. Try saying "I'm DH!!!!!" Wait, let me cover my ears first.

(For writing purposes) Admittedly, there are abbreviations so frequently used that they are shortened, which are not meant to be spoken. Classic example: ikr. However, contrary to popular belief, phrases 'I am hungry' or 'damn hungry' or 'I was hungry' are not as often used. But for argument's sake, let's assume they are. Let's consider their impact versus their non-abbreviated versions:
"IAH ):"
"I am hungryyyyyy ):"
I'm sure you will agree that the latter sounded more sincere and impactful. This is because, unlike phrases like 'I don't know' or 'I know right', 'I am hungry' is used to make a point, and abbreviating it just ruins it.

A third reason, which I think applies to abbreviations meant for both speaking or writing, is that besides having three letters, is that they shouldn't have two vowels next to each other, like 'iah'. Think of all the abbreviations commonly used: idk, ikr, cmi, imo, fml, mmd, and so on. Few abbreviations manage to pull it off - the only one I can think of being lmao - and combined with the two minus points I'd mentioned earlier, IAH (and DH and IWH) probably cmi. (I realised this point is not very strong and that the only reason why two-vowels-together won't work is because we're not very used to them.

So anyway, that's why IAH, DH or IWH probably won't work. Although we should come up with more abbreviations! (Eh, ThinkOrange don't be sad D: )

Why am I always hungry?

There are so many abbreviations in the world, but they don't have one for I-am-hungry. Do they not know the importance of this phrase? Does this not occur to you almost everyday?

I am hungry.

IAH.

Damn hungry.

DH.

I was hungry.

IWH.

Not bad, eh.

smile! :D [ohshithiatus!

[ohshitahhwhydoIhavesomuchtodo!Ishouldstopdoingrandomstufflikethisbecauseahhhhh]

Aletheia is on Hiatus! For she has a very, very, very large backlog of work, which is only worsened by her birthday (don't worry, dear bd, it's not your fault), and her being distracted, and the insane number of things she has to study and her not-so-good-anymore memory skills, and expectations.

So yes.

I badly want to post -crap- cool nonsense that will inspire your brain to think creatively. AHHH I MUST STOP TYPING. GO AND DO MATHS, ALETHEIA, AND THEN FRENCH, OR AT LEAST READ THE BLUE CHINESE BOOK.

We've been posting crap

And you know what, it is time to actually STIMULATE LEARNING.


We should not just write random shit (I typed this to check if it will come out in asterisks: will it?) we should be providing real information to TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE REALITY OF THE WORLD THEY ARE LIVING IN.

...


Oh look, donkey.


Speaking of donkeys, have you seen them?! They are prettier than horses, ohmy.

revelation of the century day

WE HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING O: Quelle horror! Everyone, quick, run around in circles and scream in Miss Peer's voice.

(I'm sorry, Miss Peer. You were full of knowledge and went through notes very well. It is unfortunate that our class did not appreciate you well enough.)

Take deep breaths and hide under a table. Or the doorway. Protect yourself from falling debris with a math file which will shield you from anything. Except lava. And perhaps falling chandeliers.

It is strongly advisable that you turn into a fat kitty right now and start waving at people. Sincerely.

While everyone is mugging for EYAs

I'm going to take a break and try the candle wax thing. Who knows, maybe it works.

Just kidding. I'm not going to use candle wax. Psht. I'm going to use that Eye Bright cream which I know for a fact doesn't work.

It's Fridayy

And Maltesers are all tired. But if you rub candle wax over your eye bags, it causes your eye bags to disappear!

This is due to the amazingly inaccurate hypothesis(not theory) that when candle wax hardens, to squeezes the skin around your eyes causing blood circulation to increase up to 500% within 5 minutes.

This sudden increase in blood circulation (can blood circulation increase?) causes the blackish patches around your eyes to disappear in another astonishingly scientifically-unproven way.

It is equivalent to rubbing your eyes over and over again 200 times in 1.5seconds!

Now of course, try neither at home.

bringing the retardedness back into our lives

Because we all need it of course.

Except I can't come up with any retardedness now. So I'm going off to play Spot the Difference. If you had any sense, you would go and do your homework. But if you had more sense, you would play it too.

There. You're reading this AND revising fallacies at the same time. *beams*

P1: I am in Philo class.

P2: I am bored.

C1: Philo class is boring (Doubtful Cause)

C2: Students in philo class are bored (Hasty Generalization)

C3: Every single student who has ever been to a philo class felt bored (Unqualified Generalization)

C4: Take pity on me, Mr __, and let us off early for recess (Appeal to Pity)

C5: Philo class is like Universal Studios and the library and heaven and the stomach of cannibals, for all of them contain people. Therefore, they must be really really boring! (False Analogy)

C6: "Either pay attention, or leave." (False Dillema)

C7: Aletheia is not sane. Therefore, she cannot be trusted, so philo class must be ultra-fun! (Attacking the person)

C8: If this unrelenting boredom continues, I will yawn and then the sides of my mouth will split and it will hurt and blood will come up and the nearby vampires will be attracted to it and come and drink my blood, and then Edward Cullen will come to save me and I will die of the glittery-ness. Therefore, I need to leave. Now. (Slippery Slope)

Because everyone's talking about fallacies, I must, too.

(Appeal to popularity)

I know, right! It's so :!o.o?!D:!

Though if whoever posted such stuff of the forum sees their (probably tweaked) forum on our FAs, and our answers, they'll probably call us overeducated, stuck up bitches who are stuffing our so-called-superiority and elitism in their faces and are perching on ivory towers with no sensitivity whatsoever to the people who built up the foundations and the towers. And that we make no sense.

Doing philo FAs

are like watching -insert country of choice- dramas. You feel like facepalming the whole time. (False analogy)

'Look, if they are allowed to break the "no eating rule", then they will break the "jaywalking" rule, and they will break all laws in Singapore.'

'You are defending those girls because you are a foreigner yourself!'

and of course, saving the best for the last:

'The cities that you mentioned are different from Singapore. There were terrible and bloody riots in Singapore before. I doubt that these cities experienced similar riots. Since there were riots before the "no eating" rule was made, these riots could have caused this rule.'

Life is such a fallacy.

Aww, do you miss us?

That's okay, we've forgotten all about you.

Unless you can help me with my math and Physics.

Why did I capitalize physics and not math? They should have been equal. In fact, it should've been Math and physics.

My life sucks like lemons. although today was okay. Why are lemons sucky though? It's not fair. It's not their fault they want to be sour. They didn't CHOOSE to be sour. We shouldn't discriminate. We always complain about life "throwing us lemons". WHATS WRONG WITH BEING THROWN LEMONS? Don't they want to feel loved too?

...I-I'll go do Math now.

LITWTAOOTW #4

This shall be a feminist post!

1. I really really liked this article. It's rather long, and if you don't feel like reading long articles now, come back to it later when you're in the mood.
2. Similar one but way shorter. But after the first one, this is unsatisfactory!
3. This is also the same thing but don't you feel a little sad for the girl. But the point she's making is pretty much the same.
4. (Not a feminist link, finally!) "Have you tried chamomile tea?"
5. 'We' are drinking more than the boys?
   

LITWTAOOTW #3

1. Maltesers > stale bread
2. Wikipedia saves the day during SS.
3. I haven't read this (it's RS!) but I trust it's not so bad.
4. I shall read this later too, but I read something similar before, back when I read random articles online a lot more, but from less respectable sources.
5. Heh.
   

LITWTAOOTW #2

More reasons why mth is (y)

1. We don't give tests !

2. We give you new emotions! (from Sandra. I like this one.)

3. Reproduction genetics? I want maltesers to reproduce in the packets :(

4. We are different, for we are not a reality tv show

5. We like irony, and so do you.

Sicheng is sad

-sadface-

:(

link of the day

This deserves a post for itself.

For the poor, confused dears: The Definitive Post

or, What Happened On Facebook Today.

or, The Platonic Love Heptagon.

or, Something Confusing.

1. Sicheng is married (gayly and incestuously) to Sandra. (this happened a while ago)

2. Fish's heart was broken into a thousand and one pieces by zhang yue, and asked for a divorce.

3. Fish asked to elope with sicheng!

4. It was concluded, that between fish and zhangyue, fish was of the fairer sex.

5. Sandra said she was even darker (hence implying that she was even less of the fairer sex and part of a threesome)

6. Fish said no threesome :(

7. Zhang Yue said she doesn't want ? anymore and told fish, "f**k you."

8. Sandra said that she wasn't male, and no threesome for her too, and suggested aletheia.

9. Aletheia said no.

10. Zhang Yue posted a very excited greeting on cheese's wall

11. Due to complications (sicheng only eats fish), sicheng offered to elope with aletheia.

12. Aletheia said no.

13. Cheese offered to elope too.

14. Aletheia said no (again).

15. Sandra said fish said she disapproves of alecheng (hence the elopement), and cheese said fish said she doesn't mind sicheng's eating habits. (aww..)

16. Sandra offered to divorce sicheng (they claimed it was an arranged marriage)

17. Fish told cheese she's the greatest love of all (!), and offers to elope.

18. Cheese reciprocated.

19. Cheese disaproves of alecheng too.

20. Aletheia wants to remain single and independent.

21. According to sandra, cheese wants fish for herself.

22. Sicheng claimed fish loves her more.

23. Cheese defended the honor of her to-be-elopee.

24. Sicheng offered to elope with cheese.

25. Cheese said no, for she was loyal to her platoon mate.

26. Sicheng accused sandra of being mean (implying that she doesn't want a divorce).

mini-conclusions:

1. Fish eloped the most, I think.

2. Cheese is protective! o.o

3. Aletheia got pushed around and offered to whatever relationships people wanted to leave :( (though was rather entertained)

4. Priyanka just sat there and smiled.

5. Sicheng accuses alot of people O.o

6. Zhang Yue disappeared somewhere halfway.

7. Sandra is.. dark.

Sicheng's conclusion:

we should come up with strategies to stop our husbands from leaving in the future: if you step out of the house, I'm going to...I'm going to FAINT!

Conclusion:

We should all become secular nuns.

Thia thia and Sipingguo posted!

If diffusion worked while studying, I would have soaked in enough knowledge over the past years such that I wouldn't have to study for EOYs/EYAs. (I hate discrepancies like that.)

If it worked, I'll just plunk myself in a Chinese bookstore for a whole day.

I feel like eating cereal. My brother just ate cereal. Dammit, cereal.

Is doing chinese. I hope diffusion has occurred.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha.

I think, while sending out fam invites to the vips, the teacher told them to respond to both her and me, or cc-ed me or something.

ONE REPLIED, AND WENT "DEAR THIA THIA".

XDXDXD

YOU

Fat.

I guess.

How to study not-smartly

1. Eat chocolate and stare at the computer screen, occasionally glancing down at what you're supposed to study as if you have photographic memory.

2. Waste time wondering if you should put your chocolate back into the fridge because it says 4 servings per package, not 1.

3. Decide to try defying gravityyyyy (by eating 2 servings--take that, Health Promotion Board!)

4. Test you: Where's bronchus and where's bronchiole?

Today I shall be a two-timer

And eat ferrero rocher.

Hah I could spell that.

now the sipingguo isn't posting

Oh the things you find on Yahoo.

1. I wonder if that dog was relating the Brian/Bryan i.e. the dog in Family Guy.
2. Once a computer's dead, however, you can't 'unhang' it I believe.
3. I'm lazy to provide more links.
4. I want to read Room by Emma Donoghue.
5. Ribena is red (shhh it is!) and good for the soul. So are Maltesers. Although they're brown.
6. Bye.

oh.

oh. Another ant just crawled out of my ear.

I'd suspected it was an ant, from the agony my ear-drum was in this morning, because that was what had happened the last time it felt like that, but I was hoping it was water, or some other non-living thing. Well, at least it crawled out.

I still let it out and flicked it away, though. I didn't feel like killing it.

It was red-black!

heh.

Links In This World That Are Out Of This World, or LITWTAOOTW #1

That's right, folks! You shall get links, which are not only cool and not spamming sandra anymore, but also from this world! Not Mars, not the Andomeda Galaxy, and not your head! And also happens to save this blog from it's inferiority complex, if it has one :!)

5 (not 7) Things

1. We don't Ponder Life. Pondering life reduces your working memory.

2. This is a Blog, and blogging is good.

3. We talk about Cool Stuff, like maltesers and spray-on clothes.

4. We don't moon over Love or Other Depressing Things, for love is a fallacy and costs you friends.

5. There will be more things tomorrow, found here.

(Whad'ya mean, I didn't post :( )

Aletheia isn't posting ):

The article Why I Blog somehow dramatizes the 'art' of blogging, instead of posting a few nonsensical liners. I suppose he is merely referring to those widely read kind of blogs, instead of personal ones which only a few friends know about and read. The ones more catered to their readers, instead of personal ones.

That article is long. And rather tiring after a while. But I still enjoyed it I guess.

Sudden topic change: I'm off to fiddle around on Gimp. And perhaps download free trials of flash for the sake of RS.

I haven't eaten maltesers in 3 days

Eh.

I have a blue comb

I wish combing with a blue comb can turn my hair blue.

101 Reasons why too much red is bad

1. The Physics 10 year series is red.
2 - 100. Ditto.
101. Eye-blinding ):

Ever wondered why Pacman is so round?

Pacman eats Maltesers. Whole.

Fallacies of the day

P1: Maltesers are addictive.
P2: Drugs are addictive.
C: Maltesers are drugs.

P1: Drugs are bad for health.
P2: I eat Maltesers aka drugs.
C: I am unhealthy.

The wheels of the bus go round and round.

Bio is blue-grey.

The end of the world is coming.

We should all turn vegetarian.

Learn from the past, live in the present, and plan for the future.

There. Short but coherent!

monkeys!

P1: All brown is chocolates.
P2: Sandra is brown.
C: Sandra is chocolate.

Yay.

Why are chocolates brown?

That's the colour of mud.

So why can't mud be creamy and sweet too?

R sounds blue, I think. Sky blue and red.

But we don't really mind, or care. After all, you're just joking.
Right?

It's time to eat more MARS BARS

So maltesers don't run out so quickly.

New research results published on the Maltesers Crisis: consists of hours of research, shocking and revolutionary find, answers may just turn your world upside down.

Please donate $2.00 to Maltesers to find out more.

Just to prove "Christine/Tracy" wrong

Scientists predict that the Malteser Crisis will occur in the next 15 years. Or the year-before-the-Water-Crisis-occurs.

We will have to survive a whole year without Maltesers before we die. Harsh, eh?

This is not a fallacy (Appeal to Anonymous Authority) because I WILL CREDIT THE SCIENTISTS.

Here you go:
Maltesers, The. (Sept 15, 2010). Just to prove "Christine/Tracy" wrong. Maltesers tear here. Retrieved on Sept 15, 2010 from http://maltesers-tearhere.blogspot.com/2010/09/just-to-prove-christinetracy-wrong.html

Post 329 (no I can't count sorry)

If I memorize all my soluble salt stuff, does it mean I can become a famous chemist?

After bio lesson today

Do you think water will run out before maltesers?

Then how will we be able to drink water after eating maltesers?

I'm worried. D:

When they say tear here

We should tear THERE,

because we're rebellious that way.

Do you know maltesers are bad for our heart and brain?!?!

Because they are round.

Unlike our hearts and brains! Amazing.

But jellybeans are good for the stomach--same shape, right?

I like yellow.

I'm beginning to like yellow more and more... since these few years?

I like yellow tees.
I like... I don't know what else I'd like in yellow.

What else? Oh I shall do colour swatches!

Okay, that isn't exactly a colour swatch but I like this yellow. Pastel yellow. Pastel colours are quite nice (heh, feminine side - I bet you thought I didn't have one). Although my first love will always be turquoise/aqua/teal-ish colour.

(Upon Googling, I find that it has different ideas of aqua D: The aqua I had in mind was blue/green, but Google just gave me blue. Pfft.)

A lil' too dark, but it'll do.
---
I see Aletheia has changed the layout :D (for I'm sure Sicheng is singularly incapable of doing such a thing). Sicheng refused to let me add a blogskin and fiddle around with html which is one of the things I actually can do. Bah.

(I realise the longer the posts, the saner they get. O:)

Its okay: MALTESERS ARE GOOD FOR THE SOUL.

Crysanthemum tea is yellow. Honey, too.

Just my luck, then, that I'm drinking both.

I'm wearing yellow, too.

And my skin?

I don't think yellow is gold or dirty. It's more sunshiney, in a non-Little-Miss-Sunshine manner. Nice yellows are happy :D Like sunshine on ripples of water, and smiles, and Winnie the Pooh.

I like Winnie the Pooh. And Eeyore.

(Eeyore's cute and terribly uplifting, in a pessimistic way. The ones in 'real life' are a bit too cute though, like it's putting on a mask so more people'll buy it. Well, whoever's designing these dolls are painting masks on them, so they'll look cuter and more mass-market appealing. Don't you think it's quite sad? But it's their job. But they can change! But many people don't know how to. But we can learn! And hope. But many people don't know what to do with their life :( But then again, who are we to talk, since most of us don't, anyway?

heh. I think I'd like a dark Eeyore.)

red has been Banished.

:D

Strawberries are red too

I ate strawberries today.

Now that I think about it, I did brush my teeth AFTER eating, but it feels as if I didn't. I can taste strawberry in my mouth.

Not the nice sweet flavouring of Poky, but strawberries.

Ms Tan says we have to be organized and LABELS are the best thing to make us organized.

Mac's apple pie's packaging is now green

It used to be red. It has evolved to green.

I liked the red one better. (I was going to insert two pictures of Exhibit A and B - red and green packaging respectively. However, Google offers no answers to that.)

I am eating guava and apples now. (They're cut into small pieces and put in a bowl.) Guavas are green and apples are red. I eat both.

Is red really an appetizing colour?

Why do so many restaurants and food packagings use red? I mean, do you go hungry and start watering when I flash out my red watch?

You do? Goodness.

Is it because red is associated with ketchup? I don't even like ketchup. Well it's okay but occassionally I find it too sour.

Only occassionally. Especially when they have pickles drenched in them. Do they seriously have to do that?

I know one failed red packaged brand: No Frills. The red and white looks gross(not implying anything about our Singapore flag) and makes me stay away from their prawn crackers.

Unlike my sister who bought it.

But Maltesers is alright. It's brown and red.

There, I used the word Maltesers. I can end off now.

We need to matchmake Google and Maltesers.

the Search For The Lost Magical M Word

and so the desperate journey for the word maltesers continues.. (or starts. whichever.)

The travelers search high and low, climbing over the bumps of m, skiing down l, abseiling over t, and even crossing s.

a close call, though puppies were in the way.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

After a oh-so-perilious journey, they finally find the word. and then loose it with the next 'space', because the new google search thingum is !! and not really useful at all, and most of the suggestions aren't useful at all, and it just keeps popping out search results WITHOUT WAITING FOR YOU TO FINISH, which shows that it is impatient.

Therefore, it needs maltesers (P1: chocolate = good. P2: patience = good. C: chocolate -> patience).

And therefore, maltesers needs google search.

Cf: Sandra and Sicheng will matchmake Google Search and Maltesers, using one of the '20 dates for under $20' that the Straits Times oh-so-kindly published for just this purpose.

-you.

lengthening blog posts, one image at a time.

No one likes Mars Bars, right?

So we should stop eating maltesers.

You know, since it's manufactured by the same company. They probably put the same amount of sugar into both.

You don't even need wiki to tell you that amount of sugar is gonna make you fat.

the return of the Other Malteser

Maltesers are a confectionery product manufactured by Mars, Incorporated.

Wiki said so. Ha, bet you didn't know that.

Well, now you know.

While the other Malteser goes for CCA

I was hungry and decided to look at photos of Malteser on google. It didn't work like I had wanted it to so I had to resort to food to fill that hunger. But since I'm on a one-day diet, I couldn't reach out for chocolates and took raisins instead.

No raisins can ever beat Sun...what was that.

Sunmaid?

There is only one brand of raisins we should eat, and that's SUNMAID. Seriously Sunmaid raisins are so sweet and juicy you think you're eating big fat grapes rather than tiny squished dried ones.

Another reason to buy sunmaid is that they come in zippable bags! Isn't that wonderful? now instead of throwing away box after box(oh poor dears) every week, all you have to do after your throat is parched from all the raisins--can throats be parched?--is zip the bag and stick it in your freezer!


Technology amazes me at times.

Two-liner Post

P1: I am like a Malteser.

P2: Maltesers suck.

C: I am not a Malteser.

What we can do with maltesers:

1. Eat them.

2. Think about it, then eat them.

3. Swallow them with mashed-maltesers shake.

4. Juggle them.

5. Come, help me think.

--After thinking---

6. Think with them.

7. Love them.

8. Hide them in your pockets so Cheese does not take them.

9. Eat in class.

10. Make posts about them.

11. Find joy in the world.

12. Tear there.

Are you sick of Maltesers?

If you are, tear here.

Don't miss us too much when we're gone

Just crying buckets will be enough.

But we'll let you eat Maltesers while you do it.

I thank you, oh heavenly maltesers, for inviting me to this supreme blog.

even when the sky is falling down

MALTESERS. will. rule. the. WORLD.

Day One

(We had fun and joyful facts, but not facts of the day. Ha.)

Fact of the day: Maltesers' password = 94132408211

But I'm sure it comes out as ***********

How many more to go?!

GOSH--75% DARK CHOCOLATE! How awesome is that?

AND 7.5PERCENT MALT EXTRACT.

Why does Maltesers have a due date? they should go on forever.

(Due date = giving birth. THEY DON'T GIVE BIRTH. They are too full of joy.)

A sincere reply.

Dear Seirrehc,

You need counseling. When there are maltesers, there is JOY. No way can one see the world as a sad, sad place. Call twinklefriend now. Thank you. If you ask nicely, we may even sponser the the $0.10 it takes to make a call.

Sincerely,
The Maltesers

And what comes after 3?

It's 7! For 37 grams of joy!

Other joyful facts:

Maltesers are made in Australia.

They are exported to... THE WORLD.

Challenge: Count the number of Maltesers in a packet!

People who ask "What's that?" are losers. Unlike Celine.

Post 3

Today we are going to talk about Maltesers.

I'm sure we've never talked about it before, and it had come as a great and pleasant surprise.

Now for a fun fact: Do you know it is the lighter way to enjoy dark chocolate? Like, OMG right.

Maltesers

The thing about them is that they look so ugly ad unappetizing on the package. Who wants to eat some light fried corn?

Sicheng does.

WHY ARE THERE SO LITTLE MATESERS IN A PACKET

:(
