The Real McCoy
Georgia Hole
"The true stories behind our everday phrases"
My religious readers know the amys i blogged about before. Anyway this is my birthday gift from her; it came with NEAT note she sketched out herself... apparently hobbes is the her pictorial depiction of me AND apparently she thinks i look like i have a tummy (which if not for the present i swear never speak a word to her again). She kinda added her "jamming" touch to the felion. really SWELL. thank ka u. i'll rmb this.

Some people are complaining the blogskin is screwed and they cant read my entries proper.
I'd fling myself out the window before i let my dear readers suffer. lol. i'll see wad i can do.

erm... let that be a drivethru window...

cant wait to get the SPAs over and done with.
something always goes wrong during my chem practicals, unlike my physics pracs; always going without a hitch. I guess there's this insidious fear at the back of my head of some chem exp going awry and leaves me going "oh gaaaawd... my eeeyees.. my eeyyeess!".

which reminds me of a joke i haf yet to unleash on my beloved chemistry tutor-

Miss Ng: class remember to put on your goggles when dealing wif acids...
Lester: oh gaaaawd... my eeeyees.. my eeyyeess!!! oh wait... it's just distill water...

Which again reminds me of another prank (oh my i could go on forever).
The other day i was holding one of the testtube holder pegs and i keep doing the "snapping" percussive sound with it. So miss ng was right beside me when i said: "madam, my lighter is not working right". She turned around and i passed her the wooden peg.

i know wad ur thinking. But i swear it was SO funny when i did it.

got a tys-thick package in the mail for me today from the stanford alumni. Everything i need to know about stanford u and more, given sent to all the finalists for the book prize. God knows when i'm gonna find the time to sit down and appreciate their efforts... barely had time to flip through the pretty pictures within.

many a thousand words i've read.
ho ho ho.

Be really nice if it was to be my matriculation package, if u know wad i mean.

alicia messaged me yesterday that she was at Disney on Ice. I suddenly remember that i was quite the kid in vogue during my kindergarten days, for a i did a swell impersonation of Donald Duck. It was such a crowd-pleaser.
These days when i actually do that... i kinda please the wrong kind of crowd.
oh dear, i'm pulling a brokeback mountain again.

A topless mouse and a bottomless duck... ah the magic of disney.
Kids nowadays are smart alecs... I can also imagine a disneyonice scenario where donald duck skates near to the audience and a poor, horrified toddler bellowing at the top of his prepubescent voice: "Avian Flu! ahhh!"

I was always the menace of toddlers in my younger days. Guys in those costumes where actually afraid of me. i kid you not. i distinctly remember one of those lovely creatures parading the one of the themeparks blurting a vulgarity when i refused to cease my poking.

those were the days.

School's gonna resume in a matter of hours. Still have that feeling of suffocation i talked about in one of my earlier entries. I need to loosen up and smell the roses... or bamboo shoots. (inside joke)

I guess i take alot of times for granted and i dun realise how much i have and how much i have to be thankful for, seriously. Maybe i need to peel my ears so i can listen to the cacophonies of angels, near.

I'm turning 18 soon. I agree with samuel. It's too fast.
There's just too many things i'm not satisfied with.

it's been a rollercoaster ride and i'm queuing up for a second time.
So many possibilities. I'm piqued.

there's a christmas party in my mouth.

thank for listening to my ramblings and your insuperable concern,
i have mighty friends; you know who you are.

Got my enlistment letter from MINDEF today.
ah, the call of the nation,
to defend my land sacred to me and my brethren,
to pay, in blood, sweat, and tears, for the security of this blessed country,
to go through a inexplicable period of undeniable self-discipline,

and of course,
to engage in awkward communal showers on a daily basis...

gosh. i hope some1 doesn't pull a brokebackmountain during my NS days, or a tammynyp...
OR BOTH. *shivers
hee hee hee

i'm in a really lousy mood now.
kinda feels like the time i got my o level results, twice my projected score.
yup, just got news that i din clinch the award.

When i was selected as one of the top 8 finalists for the Stanford Book Prize, i thought i could go all the way. Happily trotted down to the interview.

The thing about interviews is, u dun know whether to be coloquial or straight-up, exective-in-a-suit kinda behavior. It is just that subjective.

Sorry bout the abruptness in this whole post. Just alot of stuff running through my mind.

Anyway, God leads by closed doors i guess.
A door better open soon.

had my braces tightened today.
they say the world's greatest pain is labour...
i almost thought i was freakin giving birth today.

there's many things about my dentist that screams professional. Maybe it's his meticulous expression, or the immaculate tools, or his concise movements... or the way his "how are you today" sounds so rehearsed. Something tells me he really knows his stuff.
Don't ask, i'm just good at knowing these things.

Anyway,
i am not one to engage in, well, excrement skewing during dental appointments.. like "oh gawd... owwwwwww..." My thresold of pain is quite high so i usually don't mind a little tension in a gums here and there and the "pain", but today was different. He was tugging unusually hard... Then came the one hard tug and i bursted out saying that one of my tooth hurt alot, to which he replied "yup that's unusually the case", and then he tugged AGAIN.

decided to choose red and green today; ya know, the christmassy colours. I recently saw jasmine's friend trinetta sporting the braces in a photo. just adorable.
Bet i'm gonna get alot of questions in school about how "it's not christmas".
People people, red and green can be alot of other festivals... so many that i would be on a roll if i started mentioning some of them...

Imagine my surprise when my dentist was the first one to say "celebrating christmas again, are we?". and then he TUGGED AGAIN.

what a way to spread the christmas cheer.

The term holidays are here. One week of pure pleasure.
ya rite.
For starters i have stuff to do for all my four subjects + GP, AND i have drag myself back to school for lessons. School's definitely not out. Like my CT said: "there are no holidays for J2s."
*prays for some disgruntled parent to write smth to the papers.

made my way down to reuben's crib to get an econs project done.
for those of you who don't know, reuben's kinda my a/c kindren spirit aka brutha who got posted to the same junior college and class. lol u cant haf too much ac anywhere.

for the at least one moron reading this, ac is NOT aircon. geez.

let me give ya all the lowdown on dear ol' reuben. he is every textbook's definition of a MUGGER. You'll see the hardboiled look at every lecture, resolved on fighting on the "trials and tribulations" of falling asleep during a lecture...

First 10 mins
He'll have this somewhat immaculent look during the lecture... almost as if he had conceived the perfect method of how not to fall asleep, the stormy night before.

I have always imagined him:
Brain: "time to take over the world"
Reuben: "time to not fall asleep when that moron is lecturing... i'm busy, mother!"
k fine. i just did that for effect.


Next 20 mins:
Of course by this time, he realises his plan is pretty much... well.. crap. He begins slouching in this chair, both of his weary, weary arm on the desk, almost as if he's grabbing it for his dear dear life...
Poor Reuben
He's still fighting. But he's pissed. pissed that he's falling asleep. pissed that his infallible plan is crap.
BUT. the funniest part is, u can actually tell from his face that he's pissed, AND falling asleep.
imagine that.

Last half hour:
alas! preordained to slumber... Goliathe has fallen.
oh dear, my marker has already ran out.

K so back to today. He showed me round his house and we came to top loor, which was basically an open-concept thingy.. no windows... pretty much open air. I caught sight of the ubiquitous desk and chair (alas! desk and chairs abound the crib of mugger reuben). So i ask him "hey dude, u study here? aren't u afraid your notes will drift away in the wind out or somthing?'

I burst out laughing.

stick with me. imagine the notes drifting away and reuben, admist his incohate attempt to retrieve the notes, going "nooooooooooooooooooooooo...."

that is wonderful humour.

Don't get me wrong.
Reuben is one of my greatest pals, if he was in some kind trouble, i would do everything in my capacity to help him out. if he was to be one of my lifelong friends, it'd be one of my life's many blessings. :) i'm just q kidder and i'm sure he understands.

it's been a hell of a weekend... good stuff's been happening. This arduous year is finally bringing the good stuff. nice.

easy- the commodores.
