Saliva

[noun] A watery liquid secreted into the mouth by glands, providing lubrication for chewing and swallowing, and aiding digestion.

Top 3 reasons for featuring this word:
a) I was surrounded by ungodly amounts of uber-good food for 3 consecutive days
b) I talk too much lately..."kou shui" flying everywhere
c) My legs were drenched with dog saliva.

I actually wanted to write about my Penang trip but the photos are STILL in the process of being uploaded to my PC (Stupid PC....noob bluetooth connection), and i've not written anything bout exciting (as if) events that occured earlier....I've gotta arrange my memory in (partly) chronological order, coz good ole Mem'ry can get all muddled up, just like Lennon's.

So....checklist.....in case I actually messed my memory up:
a) Driving
b) BTN cum briefing
c) PENANG.

There....that wasn't so difficult, was it? Was it? Hmm....dunno...

Damn Blurtooth! BLURTOOTH!!!!! How long does it take to get all my pics to this PC, anyway???? (Dozes off)

Awake, sleeping booty

No featured word for today......too sleepy to think of one. Oh, wait....

sleepy
[adjective] (sleepier, sleepiest) Needing or ready for sleep.

OMG...i actually (nearly) abandoned my poor bloggie....Ooh bloggie don't cry...daddy loves you....

I'm back...and still alive (God knows how)...and kicking....and the fun-nest part is, i've managed to overcome my emo-ness. Hallelujah! no more desperate boo-hooing for now...well, at least for now. Pre-U's over and I'll be heaving meine arse to Mapleland (no, the real one...where Dion hails from....not the one with Grandel the really-really friggin old) soon. Have a bummer headache with all winter clothing confusion....WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY MATERIAL TYPES FOR THERMAL UNDIES?!?!?!?! but that deserves another entry.

erm.....got a lot of things to jot and scribble......but i seriously miss my bed and i have a Penang trip tomorrow morning.....will be back by the end of the week to continue my aimless ranting....

oh....and my nonsensical poetry was written in my English Journal.......and my lect found it "amusing"........may be uploading it but i cant vouchsafe yer safety and sanity.

Am sleepy
*charges towards bed*

Tibbar taggy

"Remove 1 question from below, and add in your personal question, make it a total 20 questions, then tag to 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged."
I would like to disagree with Tibbar on this one, Rules aren't meant to be sod, they're meant to be twisted and choked until they suit our purpose. So here's a revised version of the rules.

Retain all questions, do not be a smart ass and simply add in your personal question. Do tag to 3 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post. No notification is necessary. I'm not imposing these tags on you guys.

1.)What is your dream when you were in your childhood?
To be the owner of Seseme Street. And the collector of every single muppet in the world. (Lame dream, and not practical, i know)

2.)Rainy days or sunny days? Why?
Rainy days. My mood will be better if the sun isn't so bloody glaring.

3.)Which do you like the most? Black or White?
Black, white makes me look fat.

4.)Who would you marry?
I would like to marry this special personification whose name is Career. Career is hot and sexy, and she gives me the support i need a.k.a. financial and mental (DUH!). She stresses me out for a good measure, and i like it. And best of all, she NEVER nags, and gives me freedom to pursue my goals without pulling any political strings. I would have two children with her, named Music and Cooking.

5.)Where is the place you would like to go most? Why?
I would like to go to Orbis...Showa town later. So that i could check my noobie skills out on scary monsters. To think that Clerics are stuck with Magic Claw for a half of their lives. And no, I will not invest in Holy Arrow. It is a stupid skill. And I want to do B-PQ.
*Wakes up*
Huh? Oh, I would love to get my ass off to Italy, Reasons being: Tuscany, Pasta, Parma Ham, Vatican, Napoli Beaches, Chianti, John Lateran, Mary Major, and instant death in the hands of taxi drivers.

6.)Who are you most afraid of losing?
I'm with Tibbar on this one. I'm afraid of losing the Bubbly Happy Hyper me. I'm already becoming.....shirty, touchy, and cynical. OMFG. I do not want to lose myself. *starts crying* I don't want to lose the personality I've had for over 17 years. *sniffs*

7.) When you encounter a sad moment, what would you do?
Silent moping. And listening to Beety's Hammerklavier Sonata, movement-3. It works. Besides that, I've actually tried hitting people. Physically. Until they're all bruised and weepy. I feel so damn good but they get pretty scared by my transmogrification. OMFFG. *cries again* (Refer to Q6)

8.)What was the best thing you've learned in 2007?
That true friends are hard to find.

9.) What was the worst thing you've learned in 2007?
That true friends are hard to find. And the fact that the Newtonian physics we've done in high school is all trash when it comes to modern physics.

10.) If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him? Or just keep the secret in the heart, observing by yourself?
(I swear by any Deity within a 500m proximity that the question states the word "HIM".) uhhhh...Let's make this question gender neutral ok? Animals are qualified too. Well, I guess if I ever fell in love (JOKE OF THE CENTURY!), I'll probably wait to see if it is requited or not. Unrequited love makes people look stupid. But basically, I hold to the principle that I'll love everyone as long as they dont betray me badly.

11.) Till now, what is the moment that you regret most?
(Tibbar's Reply) Not quitting piano after I failed grade 8 last year. I really can't stand piano any more.
(My reply) For not taking piano lessons when I was young. I can't stand not knowing how to temper claviers.

12.) What are the requirements that you wish for your another half?
Refer above.

13.) Which type of person you hate most?
People who betray you in the last minute, or thwart your goals when it is within your grasp. such people are Evil Incarnate spawnlings of treachery who could even shame the Devil and make God puke. That and slackers in group work who give me half-past-six (Haphazard) work quality.

14.) What is your ambition?
To listen to a live performance of Mahler's Fifth, Ninth, Das Lied, and Tenth before i die. To play piano. To swim. To have a record of Abbado's Lucerne Fest with Mahler's 5th and 6th. To severely break the heart of at least 5 people who belong to category Q 13. To cook a proper 5 dish meal. To be drunk. To be a MapleStory Bishop, then cast genesis in Shanghai maps, as a final revenge for all the ks-ing i get when I'm still a struggling noob.

15.)Would you rather be someone else at this moment?
Yes. THE ORIGINAL HIPPO ME! GIVE MY LIFE BACK TO ME!

16.) If you could have 1 dream come true, what would it be?
Er..... must it be only one? Let's bend the rules again. To be a MS Bishop with genesis. And to stop my parents from worrying so much about me. They've had enough on their hands already. And just maybe, to have Mahler's spirit hovering around me.

17.) What will you do if the world ends tomorrow?
Get drunk with expensive wine and Mahler's Ninth. And maybe tenth.

18.)Who's your favourite cartoon character?
If Seseme Street is a cartoon, then it would be Elmo. But I've never considered Seseme St. to be cartoonish. If not, then I'll have the Elric brothers from FullMetal Alchemist.

19.)What do you think that is most important in your life?
The very fact that I'm alive.

20.)Describe your dream house.
A place where I can stash as many books and CDs and have a home theatre system. No smoking, no visiting relatives, no annoying sounds of a neighbour's house-renovation.
Sod that. I want a home with cold unfeeling silver light, cold unfeeling stone and crystal walls, a cold unfeeling beautiful garden, cold unfeeling and imposing building structure, cold unfeeling naked white marionettes and mannequins, cold unfeeling winter air and enough buckets to contain my sorrow.

Quod Libet

Featured word: Raccoon
[noun] A greyish-brown omnivorous American mammal with a black facial mask and a ringed tail.

Ok.....i'm trying to psyche myself into believing that raccoon eyes are sexy. I am pretty darned sure that my eyes are SOOOO dark that a marksman could mistaken it as a bullseye from a hundred yards away. I need sleep. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ok.....i know my blog is being abandoned, and I blame it on my college workload. Sheeesh.
(how selfish)

ok....so I got tagged by Tibbar. I will post that tag later. LATER. I promise.

ok...to fulfil another promise...i must talk about the Chinese New Year Mass. I attended it this year in Peacefulville, and it was um....a....spectacle to behold. First of all, there were jossticks ,and pictures of chinese culture (happy buddhas, dragons, phoenixes and all) which has nothing to do with Christianity. lolx. A WHOLE lot of non-Christians came.......so worship songs are mostly renditions or improvisations of typical CNY songs. haha. yes, "Hong Bao's" were mentioned in one particular song. I must commend the parish for an excellent modernist music style though; the priest, choir, organ, and congragation each went in different KEYS. I should have recorded the whole mass and publish it as Polytonal Mass in Cmajor, Dminor, and Aflatmajor. hahahahahahah.

anywaaaaysss, the mass is still a mass, and the Eucharist somehow managed to stand out in all the red ribbons which mada the church's interior look like confetti. By right, chinese catholics would want to start a Lunar new year with a holy celebration. Methinks that most people attended the mass for red-packets (from parish coffers) and "blessed mandarins". Yup, priests can theoretically bless anything. This time, it's edible round crimson globes. tee hee. They have a lion dance too. Tourists should visit a CNY mass for pure entertainment. Traditionalist Catholics and Fundamental Protestants should by all means stay away from this mass. It's not good for their mental and spiritual health.

perhaps I'll ramble about a very special Chinese religion which exists in my homeland in my next post. I don't know if it can be found in other countries. The religion is called Chinese-rojak-pseudo-animist-cincai-worship-anythingism (Cropacwotoa) (crow-paquo-toe-aa).

p.s. i'm not defaming religions of any sort. I'm just highlighting the fact that we Chinese can be so careless in our own religions. Ah well.

Hippo not happy

Dolt
[noun] a stupid person

I'm angry. Yes, i'm angry. No, I'm telling you the truth. I'm frustrated, mad, hyper, sick, antagonized, feeling used, and just darned shitty (and shirty) right now. Not a happy day. Not a happy hippo. O.k., for those who knew me well, they should know that Hippo rarely gets angry. I may be hyper, sad, tired, dissapointed, evil, relieved, blissful, naughty, active, lazy, but NEVER angry. And I am angry now. And i do not know how to cope with it. And I have no plushie to hug. And I have nobody to kill, disembowel, decapitate, and pummel. I need to grind somebody's marrows. I can't even sleep properly. And I have retards for friends. So much for friendship, you base pariah bastards. And I have retards for aquaintances. Thanks for fuelling my anger, you jackal-spawnlings. And I have retards for adults too. And i must be a super-retard of an abominable idiot to actually know and befriend such imbecillic dunces who roam all over the world. Buggered be all . You're not getting on my right side, and you'll pay for doing that. I believe in karma, Oh, yes I do, you scums of nature. I do seem to have an unlimited amount of patience, but anything stretchable must obey Hooke's law. Cross me over the limit and you'll wish that the devil took you that instant. I am angry, I don't like the the fact that i'm angry. And I'm getting angry at the thought of being angry. Mahler's not doing anything to calm me too. Chocolate is undeniably useless now. Only the Divine could cool me a bit, and also Father Time. But i'll remember this forever, you no good multifaceted-faced children of Lilith and Asmodeus. BAH! *Kills an insect*

Will put on my stupid mask and pretend to be happy in front of those devil-buggered worms tomorrow. The show must go on.

Confíteor Deo omnipoténti, ómnibus Sanctis, et vobis, frates

Featured word: Cantor

[noun] 1 (in Jewish worship) an official who sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. 2 (in formal Christian worship) a person who sings solo verses to which the choir or congregation respond.

Yay. I finally had my timetable hammered and repaired. I would be eternally Grateful to Das prisonwarden for approving my new timetable. No more 5 hour stretches without lunch breaks. And the nifty part is, I will be under both McNamaras. All one biggie happie famillie. Other than that, nothing much transpired. I need fullmetal now and Arakawa-san has not been very productive lately. *sighh*. And yes, i still suck in DotA, and i dont think that I will be very good in it anyway. And I'm still addicted to Mahler's 5th and 9th symps, much to my companions' displeasure. Clouds loom ahead, and there is a young sapling right before a cliff, gazing intently on the horizon. The mystical place where Gaia and Uranus would intertwine (and make sweet intercourse and after an exchange of their ethereal body fluids, rain comes. The horizon seems to shrink somehow. Comes it nigh to the sapling? The sapling grows that one hour would just fit nicely for what it would take to grow in 20 years. The leaves burn with emerald flame. and the bark is smooth silk. And rain comes. The horizon approaches. Shadows skulk. Light dissipates. The moon dies. Rain came. Darkness Eternal. The sapling grows some more, and bore fruit. It is a mango. Tastes like rain. Bitter seeds. New saplings come. Emerald flame turned ruby. At the cliff, an ashen stump now stands. Confíteor Deo omnipoténti, the horizon departs, et vobis, fratres, New saplings grow, white their countanance, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, And ondine came, Rain came with her, verbo, Lord Zephyr spoke of what is to come, and what will be, and what shall come to pass, ópere, Roses grew, with needles at arms-legth, et omissióne, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa. And the ashen stump now is now crowned with a nest. Ravens sleep, Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, Herons fly, omnes angelos, Unrestrained mirth and sorrow flowing in the old sap, et sanctos, The sun is born again, et vos, fratres, The stump collapses, oráre pro me, The ravens die, ad Dóminum Deum nostrum. The herons sing lamentations.

Koyaaaanisqaaatsiiiiii

Eh, yes, koyaanisqatsi rocks as much as it is annoyingly weird. And no, no featured word. Unless you want me to translate the meaning of Koyaanisqatsi, it means: Life Out Of Balance

Sigh...my timetable is still a stretch from 10.30 to 3.30

and Moral Studies has WAAAAYY too much projects for it's own good. NEED MAHLER'S 5TH NOW!

Okay...throw in the "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" as well.....AND MORE QATSI!!!!

Well, I did learn a few amusing things today. I found out that Canada was born just so that we could skin Opposums alive and turn their dermis layers into Mittens. Yay. And that i'm under one of the McNamaras. Yipee. And that my Maths teacher this semester is funny in a way that it sounds sarcastic and cynical. THIS IS SOOO MY TYPE......trouble is, no lunch breaks. And stupid 3.30 rule. I miss my 2.15's. I wanna go home by 2.15. *Plays Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, blasts volume*

KOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIIIIISSSQAAAAAAAAAAATSSIIIIIIII
