"Doh Mah"
"someone tell me what doh mah means in viet!"
this was todays lunchtime central topic. the guys attempted to convince me that 'doh mah' is hi in viet and tried to make me say it to someone. now, clearly, doh mah didn't mean anything close to 'hi' because everytime they said it they had this suspicious look on their faces. and ray kept on choking on his food in laughter. :P
so i really really wanted to know what doh mah meant and started looking around for a viet person (other than minthu who was uncooperatively keeping his mouth shut and smirking) and found.... no one.
......min2 must be like the only viet left in our school.
anyway maurice said 'use ur common sense! put two and two together! doh + mah!'
melina: FUCK YOUR MUM!
*guys crack up*
O_O
'how did u know that?!'
she proceeded to give me a very 'duh' look and reasoned that 'mum' is the same thing in like five hundred languages. therefore 'doh' could only mean *&^%. since those two words appear to go side by side in a phrase in every language.

speaking of melina, i had a random dream last night about her. i dreamt of all places i was in far east plaza in singapore (imagine janean giving me a disgusted look) - but seriously far east has some good cheap buys if you're willing to spend ages combing it. anyway, i dreamt that i was in singapore for one week and i only had 60 dollars in my wallet to spend (60 dollars for one week!oh the agony) but being the good friend i was i was trying to find a fobby present for her..
.....and then the alarm went.
rah. another thing that was really random today was how she got majorly cut when janean attacked her and tied all her hair into a bun sitting on top of her head like those chinese peasant farmers. :P enough said when u picture melinas classic chinese face with a bun on top. two circles on top of each other.................. lol ok that was tight but she bags me about my face so i'm allowed.
schools getting so sad that maths jokes have started going around. nerds must have made these pick up lines cos here they are:
1. "if you're sin^2x and i'm cos^2x then together we're ONE!"
2. there does happen to be a dirtier one involving sin on top of cos to make tan ._. i'm not sure how that one goes but my math teacher liked it -_-''
sidetracking.. will someone tell me why our school has so many seagulls even though we're nowhere close to the sea? they must be confused or something.. ._.
had my last hour of uni research participation about perception influenced by beliefs and religions. the crux of the research lay in investigating how religion affects perception and perhaps even hallucinations.. for example, why would someone entrenched in christian beliefs claim to see angels or a manifestation of the devil instead of say, an unnatural floating chair? as opposed to some tribal people who indulge in beastiality, who would claim to see spirits of animals? likewise with chinese spiritual beliefs there are claims of the dead - but only because there is an element of reincarnation and the staunch belief of an afterlife in those religions. so yeah, pretty interesting. makes you wonder whether hallucinations are really allll just a product of your imagination and your beliefs working together, or if your faith is really strong - discount everything i just said.
other interesting news i heard today is that one of the cousins in the extended family whom i haven't seen in .. years is having a shotgun marriage because shes pregnant and not married. now, i can imagine this caused an uproar in conservative singapore. lol. why are all the cousins on that particular side so.. like.. 'improper' by chinese cultural definitions?
narrowed detailed study topics down to either pandas (basilie might pass over some info.. hooray for basilie!) or confucious. ..(? i dont know how to spell his
name.
Confucius

as you can see i picked confucius for his dashing good looks.
meh, maybe i'll just stick with the pandas. on the whole they do appear alot cuter.
Giant Panda

yeah, pandas > confucius.
in p6 today i sat with tracy and bitched about year 12.
year 12 = shithole
and yet when you leave it people say it's the best year you ever have.
SHOW ME ALREADY.
it feels like i keep waiting for something to happen expecting it to come along and make life a whole lot more interesting but nothing ever does. i feel.. dead inside.
my mum has taken to ringing a bell to announce its dinner. -.-
