Let's play continue the story

It was a tough day. The maltesers were trekking through a vast field of...well, wheat, maybe, and the sun was scorching and they were perspiring. Gooey chocolate rolled down from the top of their head, threatening to drip down their chinny chin chins.

Maltesers can't count.

We dehumidify the whole of Singapore and build structures over reservoirs to trap the air over them, to keep it moist so that we don't lose large amounts of water due to the increased rate of evaporation if humidity decreased. (The structure should be automated or something, so it can be opened when it's raining.) So we have the same amount of water in our reservoirs, plus extra water from the dehumification (oh so apparently there's no such word).

What? Chocolate do not have fingers to count with.

(On a random note, at the bottom of Link #1's page, there's a little box which has the APA and MLA citation in it, so one can just copy and paste it into a bibliography. That's an amazing concept! Great for students, and the writer has a higher chance of being credited as well, since students are reminded to cite their sources.)

Dear water droplets, please make up your mind D:

It's been hot and absurdly humid these few days. Can't even sweat, with all the bouncing water droplets inundating the air.

ooh let's go into the dehumidifier industry! And dehumidify the air and sell the water to JB. It's like rain 2.0 :D

A Return To Serious Incredulity.

I just had real korean strawberries. The expensive kind (that were on sale) wrapped in lots of plastic and a bow printed on the plastic and shiny and really sweet and soft and juicy.

Poor fake korean strawberries ): Don't worry, we still eat you!

Here goes your daily dose of half-naked men:

(APA format, Sandra dearest. Also, to ensure that you don't forget the maltesers tomorrow, I think you should buy more maltesers and use them to set the trail all the way from your bedroom to the fridge. Like Hansel and Gretel! We can be the wild animals who mysteriously cause the trail to disappear.)

Conspicuous lack of burial site

I fail to see how I have supposedly abandoned this blog!

D:

Also, I have stuck a post it declaring 'MALTESERS!' on the kitchen table. Is it too extravagant if I decide to add a trail of post its leading me to the fridge where they've been cool, chilling out inside? Sleep well, maltesers, before being digested by your distant relative Malteser #1 (with a capital M!). (Cannibalism in chocolates is a fascinating concept.)

Malteser #3 made me confused D:

I guess for everyone, it's different. Some people may be mostly looking at the future, some may just be struggling with what's on their plate right now, but at some point in time everyone would go through this phase in life where everything clicks and you've found what you think you're here for--it may be things like helping children, being a parent, working in a hospital, immerse in the culture of the Tibetians.

I dunno :)

As children (yes I suppose we're still children) we may not have found what we want to do most in life yet but it's okayy right now we should just focus (well IMO) on being a good person. :D

Personally though, I'd rather pray for a canon camera.

I don't know where to start?

(if this were french, that would be in subjonctif.)

It struck me, while I was learning the 成语 ‘苟且偷安’，that there's this balance between looking too near and looking too far (note - that doesn't actually mean that. (I think.) But my mind skips and jumps at the most inopportune times). 如果你 ‘只求眼前的安宁，不顾将来，不求上进’，then obviously 后果将不堪设想 － the negative feeling is implicit in the statement But if you're constantly looking towards the future and the big picture, 后果也不会是理想的.

It's like - am I supposed to concentrate on the 听写 for tomorrow, or the chinese homework due when school reopens, or the Maths PT due a while after that, or the 'O's at the end of the year, or choosing and getting a 'good' subject combi in JC, or getting into a good university/Medicine, or having children before I'm 30, or living happy, or dying happy, or not suffering the utter wrath of the god-whom-I-don't/can't-believe-in?
You could, I suppose mash some of them together and say 'what you're doing now is good for the future', or 'the present is a gift - live it!' or that actually it all accounts for the same thing and 'are for your own good', but really, it doesn't help.

heh. We shall be superheroines, yes, and complete all of the above? 8D

(HAPPY DAY AFTER BIRTHDAY DAY SICHENG! Hope that the 5845th Day in the Life of Sicheng has been a happy one, along with the previous 5844 days and the many many more ones after that :D)
(count: 0 m-words used)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SICHENG.

Malteser #3 is sorry for not bringing the Maltesers! The Maltesers are being cool hanging out in my fridge. (lame pun intented)

(At least, I think I'm Malteser #3. Aletheia feels older than me.)

Malteser #1 I can't find your page!

[Later] Oh I've found it, Malteser #1.

If you haven't realised, I've been actively using the word malteser in this post. I'm trying to have a record number of 'maltesers' in a post. Saying 'maltesers maltesers maltesers' doesn't count, unless you're using the phrase as an example of What Not to Do, therefore mine count.

Yay, eleven 'malteser's! Oh, twelve now.

#prayforjapan - Go on!

TSUNAMI

Oh dear poor Japan D:

Darlings go like my Japan ガンバッテ page on fb no one likes it :(

TODAY IS MALTESER #1 (cos I'm oldest) SICHENG's BIRTHDAY

And the other 2 maltesers gathered with their piggy banks and scraped together just enough 10-cent coins to buy a

*GASP* BAG OF MALTESERS.

It was exciting and full of surprises and so meaningful!

till Malteser #2...#3? SANDRA TAN forgot to bring it! :OO

The climax roller coaster went down from there so Sicheng tried to poke Sandra (under the command of Malteser #3...#2? ._. Aletheia) to prevent the roller coaster from crashing into the rocks!

THE END.

Moral of story: Sicheng is a life saver!

Hmm. I don't know what to say!

Today was a Good Day littered with small not-so-good things.

•  I stabbed myself while de-stoning an avocado. The avocado smoothie was really really nice, though! And I don't think I'll be using my hand as a cutting board again in the near future.
• It was revealed that even Alfred has limitations ): Then I found Quicksilver, which is beautiful.
• I almost couldn't go swimming, because our swimming pool is rather ulu and my mum insists on an escort and she was busy and my sister was sick and I couldn't find my swimming costume and goggles and my card. But I went in the end :D Because my sister ended up being fed by the ultra-clean-and-almost-private-ish pool, the security guard forgot to ask for my card, and the costume was found in an umbrella. Also, 44 is a nice lap-swimming number.
• A poor splinter from the angklung rack got stuck in my finger ): But it was a nice big brown one that was good for beginner splinter pullers.
• I was supposed to meet people for lunch, but one couldn't come in the end and the other waited at the wrong bus stop for 45 minutes -.- So I went to the library and returned and borrowed books 8)
• I forgot to bring conditionner to the swimming pool! Um. I can lift up half of my hair by pulling a few strands? (Is that counted as a good thing?)

I like English the way it is. Forever-changing and very, very odd. ('ghoti' may be pronounced as 'fish'! Oh, the horror.)

The short story version of Flowers in Algernon felt like it was cut short. The novel, though, was lovely. It made my cry

(This rather reminds me of our series of cups! Are you a I-see-no-cup-therefore-there-are-no-cups, a whatt?-head-thunks-back-on-table-*snores*, or an oh-I-see-a-Crumple-Horned-Snorkack-wearing-a-cup-hat! kind of person?)

(ahahaha this!)

Introducing my not-so-spicy tuna

With maltesers on the side, of course.

How was Class Lunch? Where in the Milky Way and Malteser did you guys go to? Did everyone manage to sit together (i.e. a large enough table/camping out underneath an escalator) or did you guys break up into little cliques? Why is a group of friends called a clique? Who came up with such a strange term for it? Technically, every word can be considered odd, but clique should be especially so. It makes such a click-y sound. Is it because the group of friends 'click' with each other, and they decided click wasn't sophisticated-looking enough (not enough to warrant italics anyway) so they decided on clique? Clique, clickity-clique. I've never liked words like that very much: clique, stomach, chaos. Why? Why the strange pronunciation? Why kay-aws and not well, chaos?

Okay, I'm not that distasteful towards words like those now, but when I was younger I used to find them mildly disturbing and annoying.

(They still are. But I suppose one has to accept the intricacies of English.)

Malteser: now there's a lovely sounding word. (Not really.)

I somewhat liked yet disliked Founder's Day this year. And it wasn't because we didn't have cupcakes. (I didn't like them last year, as pretty as they were.) The idea of roping the Guest of Honour in with the performance was brilliant but the GOH herself came up with it. And the general rest of the performance was a little blah. (I'm sorry! And I really shouldn't comment since I probably can't up with anything better anyway, but still.) I think there should be more performances.

AND WHY WASN'T DEDICATION SUNG? We never sing it anymore ): Dedication's pretty powerful as a song tied to our school. It never fails to stir up love and loyalty and violent passion in me, even more than the school song does currently because we sing the school song too often for that. Few more years down the road and I'm sure both will spark off that weepiness within me, but for now, the school song's not very helpful.

On a brighter note, I click on you with my mouse! Click clique click!

(I chose a white mouse. I seem to remember Algernon being soft and white. I liked Flowers for Algernon a lot.)

(I need to put my liberal use to parenthesis to a stop. But asides are such fun. I just used another pair of brackets for this paragraph. Drat.)

Founders Day was so nice!

This is a very schoolish post. and also because aletheia was poking me (literally) to post something.

Mrs Carmen Lim (wait whoa what's her name?) is so cool! I'm inspired! I aspire to be as cool a grandmama (is she a grandmama yet) as her when I grow old! when I told my mom about my aspirations, she gave me a look and said I haven't even grown up yet. Apparently she's really good in yoga (or so claims my mother, who once saw her in yoga class).

I realized the themes every year are actually quite deep. At first I thought reach up, reach out can be substituted by anything like reach in, reach out, reach here reach there. But I realized there's so much meaning behind it! I think this year's founders day is really good. It makes me love our school so much! <3

We waited really long for our pastas at bakerzin. And the spicy tuna didn't turn out that well. Firstly, it was spicy. Which made my tongue numb after a while and I couldn't taste what I was chewing.

Secondly--unfortunately, there is no secondly.

Thirdly, no one wanted to eat maltesers today because they were feeling fat.

Some where out there, is the malteser company CEO tapping impatiently at their sales charts and crying that a maltesers crisis is looming? D:

TGIF

tomorrow.

But there's founder's day on Saturday.

It has been a long weekend and a longer week.

Next two weeks <3
