Step 1) Think of the topic you want to elucidate
Step 2) Choose a word (for example i chose “bug”)
Step 3) Come up with a list of words that rhyme with the chosen word.
Step 4) Write the poem by ending off each sentence with a word from the list.
Here’s a poem i wrote with the above guide:
“UGH”
i am lying on my rug
cos i’ve caught the flu bug
thus i have no motivation to mug
though my mids were like bleargh
thinking about it makes me go “fug”
and hungry for some grub
though my friends tell me i have too much flub
and eat as civilised as huck
and they say “at this rate you need to go for nip/tuck”
i give my shoulders a shrug
saying “eating is my destress drug”
“if i don’t eat i move like a slug”
“no energy all day” and i give my drink a chug
then i say “my grades this time are way off mark”,
“i need to study more paddy clarke”
“and in nuclear physics stop being left in the dark”
“on an intellectual journey i must embark”
“that from the tree of ib the 45 i must pluck”
by my speech my friends are awestruck
“but since i’m sleepy i’ll start tomorrow” i remark
and i go to bed thinking
“hooboy is this gonna suck”
END

haha if i keep at this the pulitzer prize is no problem. yeah that pretty much sums up my day, even though the conversations were hypothetical, haha. and i’m scared i have h1n1 cos i’ve got all the symptoms except for fever. i’m feeling woozy and what not. but i wouldn’t mind missing school tomorrow… 2 hours of physics =_= what a day. i think even more of my brain cells will die in that period of time. but then again i can’t pon cos there’s strand 2 english and ferdi hates me for ponning lesson enough already lol. oh and in other words i shall limit myself to one outing a month (even though me mam tells me i can’t go out at all… but it’s only once a month right mum? :D) cos i’ve been going out too much recently.
signing off,
a sick bao with no rhyming skills

I WANT TO SEE LADY GAGA!!!!!! but the tix are f expensive, like almost a hundred bucks. oh well, i’ve pretty much missed all the concerts that i’ve wanted to go to since forever due to a lack of cash/clash in time/lack of credit card etc. SIGH THE CONFINES OF STUDENT-HOOD.
anyway not much. haven’t posted in a week cos this week is really killer!! there’s like both world lits AND EE. dieeeeee. i’m relying heavily for my brain to work so i can be super efficient and not write crap for either essay. PLUS we’re getting back papers on tuesday. so far, it’s not looking too good. apparently someone failed the ibdp chinese a2 exam!!! the probability that it’s me is like slightly less than 10%, since there’re only eleven of us anyway. can you imagine!! if i fail a subject that i’ve put so much effort in i’ll prolly jump off a building. nahh i kid. sigh and chem too. studied so much and i’m prolly getting a 4. which sucks big time. why am i so stupid, study so hard still cannot get above 40 points. *grumbles*
hmm anyway today i went to kap on a study date with the babes. i am so shocked that ming is taking h3 math!!!!!!! and she’s prolly getting A for it, while i am here failing easy-peasy (as compared to h3 math) ib math hl. if she comes to ib she’ll probably own that gerald seah guy from intact. and kk too!! she’s a slacker but she still gets by great. and now on hindsight i realised that i am like the lousiest out of the three of us! oh no no no no no.
conclusion: gotta work harder. i shall focus until the prelims, at least.
anyway i came up with a stuff-i-would-like-to-purchase-but-have-no-money-(as is typical of me, and it’s barely past half of the month)-or-is-out-of-my-budget-range-but-would-be-nice-to-think-about-having-anyway list, which is as follows:
- kerastase anti-frizz hair serum (again, this one was recommended in cleo’s hall of fame 2009)
- the phillips ceramic 10-in-1 hair curling iron/straightening tongs/this and that (the heads are changeable for different styling needs)
- canmake liquid eye liner pen (recommended in cleo hall of fame too)
- some form of concealer to hide my unsightly pimples, humongously monstrous eyebags and overtly-ruddy complexion
- miracle potion that will keep me awake in the morning and sleep well at night (recently i keep having nightmares. the other day i dreamt that i failed the ib math exam =_=) that doesn’t taste yucky i.e. not chicken essence
- delicious yet unfattening foodstuff for me to occupy myself with while mugging/doing work so i don’t start biting my nails because i have nothing to eat
- yet more delicious and unfattening foods for me to consume when i am hungry (hooboy am i hungry as i type this)
- lady gaga concert tickets
bah i am becoming more and more incoherent. i do realise my list gets quite rubbish as you go down because you can’t ever get some of the stuff anyway… like world peace. why are there so many riots and bombings and plane crashes recently?? can’t the world be in equilibrium for a days. anyway that’s a topic for another day. the weight of my eyelids are starting to increase so maybe it’s a sign that i should go to bed. toodley poodles guys. seeya soon.
p.s. i am so tired it’s not even funny :( so much work to do tomorrow plus there’s tuition :(((((((

what up dawgs!
this white-board stop animation is so cute! i love the parts where the artist was morphing the animals into other creatures and the part where he’s kinda like “drawing” with his finger. love how all the ideas are like evolved from the previous image and then it transforms into something new. it’s so cute and all but it’ll probably take eons to make.
5 days left of exams. i am majorly gg-fied about physics cos well, resistance is futile (i feel like i’m dna-coded to not understand physics) but i’ll tryyyyy. =_= and english p2 was kinda screwed up today because i thought i could smoke something about satires, but then when i got home to google it i realise i got the definitions wrong. and during the paper i kept thinking about the colbert report show (cos it basically a political satire) and steve colbert’s dance-off on the ddr with rain, LOL. anyways i’m aiming for a pass at paper 2! please let me not fail like last year please please please *praying* and i hope i at least get a 6 for math, cos as weird as it sounds, i actually like doing math! it requires minimal amounts of memorization but a lot of practice and good logic-deduction skills.
and anyway i have nothing to blog about. OH I JUST REMEMBERED WLIT 2 is like due this week. and i was counting on the weekend to mug physics/chillaxzzzz but oh well. life/stuff happens. i reread parts of luxun just now, and there was this weirdass story about this guy wanting to revenge his father but instead of sincerely doing it by himself he hires this assassin who cuts off the guy’s head and then dunks the head in a cauldron in front of the emperor (who is the target) and then the head starts to sing and dance and when the emperor leans on closer to take a closer look the assassin chops off the emperor’s head and the 2 heads are like fighting in the cauldron, and the king was kinda winning so the assassin chopped off his own head into the cauldron so he could help kill the king’s head and in the end they won but they sunk to the bottom of the pot and the the surface of the pot became a layer of oil and it caught fires so all 3 heads got boiled into bare skulls and the servants scooped up the skulls and were like unperturbedly trying to identify the king’s skull. the end. whew i can’t believe i just summarized the story in one breath. as you can see how the hell does one write a wlit 2 essay on such a wtf-inducing storyline?! the conclusion of the essay would be something like “and so this story gives us evidence that pot existed in china and was the in thing way before the 70s”. an instant 7 guys.
whatev. luxun’s purposes are too magnificent for my insufficiently-cheenafied post-feudal econs-saturated brain. a brain that needs some sleep. toodles!
p.s. hope no one in singapore dies from h1n1
today after chem i went to the library and borrowed two books! one book is sorta like a collection of short stories by Garth Nix (author of the Abhorsen, Lirael… i loved his books way back in primary school) and the other is No Country for Old Men by the famous Cormac McCarthy!
i finished the latter and i’ve got to say it was a gripping read. i head about this book while watching the oscars of 2007 as it was adapted into a film by the Coen brothers. i was intrigued, but you know, being set in the cowboy-south plus it being of a thriller nature isn’t really my thing. i mean i like thrillers and stuff but mostly set in the modern day, not set in the post-Vietnam war america south! cos i can’t really relate to the culture or mindset. so anyway it’s about these 3 people, one normal dude who chanced upon a bunch of dead drug-runners with a stash of heroin and a briefcase full of cash while hunting deer one day, and took the money and went on the run. the second is this middle-aged, idealistic sheriff whose always one step behind the action and who’ve seen better days in the american society. and lastly a psychopathic hitman who was hired to recover the money, and kills people like he’s swatting flies. the whole story focuses on this cat-and-dog, goose chase and centers on ideas such as the irreversability of life and the decisions you made, lost time, the degeneration of society, the sometimes unpredictable and innane nature of life… etc etc
admittedly i got too impatient so i skipped some parts, but overall it was a really good read even though there was no definite climax or resolution, not to mention ther were gaping questions left after the end. however it was paced well (the front at least) and very very descriptive (especially in describing all the guns and the cars and how the characters are dismantling them yada yada you know, guy stuff… so that’s the reason why i couldn’t understand what’s going on sometimes) so you could literally see the scene unfold before your eyes! anyway i recommend it to anyone who loves a good thriller.
and i realise right, that i got pretty spooked after reading it. i mean it’s retarded cos i always feel kinda spooked after reading watching thrillers or stuff with a lot of violence, killing and immorality in it. kinda puts you in that suspended state of mind for a while after it finishes, making you think. i mean, is it even possible for anybody to be so crazy? for things that unlawful and out-of-this-world to happen. like the people get shot but still stand up and walk away. for me i can’t imagine getting shot. it’ll probably be something out of a nightmare, except maybe in that case you can’t wake up. but anyway, what would we know about all the darkness in the world. we’re too protected from anything remotely like that. to think that innocent kids get killed all the time in gang shootouts or die from abuse of stuff like that, and here i am sitting at my computer typing rhetoric about all these stuff that i will never have a remote inkling off.
weeeell i’ll end off here cos this is starting to get a bit preachy. btw i hope i pass p2 tomorrow. ahh, such is the irony of life: i can’t do well for a paper i can prepare for and do better on a paper that is just tyco-ing i.e. i hope i don’t fail p2 tomorrow cos ferdi quek did say somthing about tricky :( now i wish i reread the good ole siddhartha instead of no country for old men but what to do………. it was 1000x more interesting and at least had some action
p.s. on a totally different note though, i want to get the keratase hair smoothening serum or the hair mask! i heard it’s really good. but they’ll probably cost bombs. ahh better finish the hair conditioner that i have now.
p.p.s. the weather is f hot!! i’m sweating like a pig.
