A continued post
Okay, so maybe I didn't post so much and so long yesterday, but I can definitely write 1500+ words. Afterall, my post yesterday was 1533 words long. So 3000 - 1533 words = 1467 words. Easily manageable.
You know, I realised that I wrote 287 words on philosophy yesterday. Amazing. I could go out, and get a job as a philosophical teacher. Okay, I'm not being serious. But who says that you've gotta be serious during a post, anyway..?
Okay, I'm gonna number these 1 - 3 again, partly because I have no friggin idea what to name them besides numbers, and partly because it is my.. reaction.. towards your post. Maybe respnse would be a better word, do you not think so..?
1.Gene Pools
Gene Pools. Okay, so basically, its a very weird subject and I've never heard of anyone posting about Gene Pools before, although I've heard of people posting about teachers, about politics, about subjects, about school and stuff. Never "Gene Pools". So.. we are the first two to do so! Congratulations, Rachel!
And who in their right mind thinks that Gene Pools are full of.. sperms..? I mean, if you're talking CHROMOSOMES, at least include some female cells too, like the egg. Like, if you say that when you think of Gene Pools, they are made up of tadpoles and frog eggs, in which the tadpole's the sperm and the frog egg's are the female egg. And because the mammalian sex cells contain chromosomes, which contain genes, hence you can deem the pools as gene pools because.. well, they contain genes. Hence.
I kinda think that the "assume the gene's received" thing was kinda cool. I can make out the typical genes Michellina got.
Stupid + Ugly + Un-sarcastic + A little outgoing + Very egoistic + Bloody short = Michellina Chan
I, too, can make out the typical genes that a person like.. Mr. Siow got.
Somewhat intelligent + Somewhat nerdy + Somewhat outgoing + Not exactly very egoistic + Average height = Mr. Siow.
Aren't I fantastic.
Well, yeah. Our genes are quite similar, hence we are fantastic sisters. Three cheers for the.. Duo!
2. 2007
2007. Tuttut. I have no idea if 2007 poses a threat or a blessing for me. I would love to sit down and have fun and frolick all day, but no, I, sadly, am unable to, when it comes to stuff like homework. And yes, when it comes to distant relatives for me, I am too, speechless. Basically I'm not speechless with fright, but because I have no idea who they are, and no idea what to talk to them about. It is rather unique, don't you think so..? Its not like I'm anti-social or what. People who don't see me talk that often only know me as a shy and quiet girl who sticks in a corner reading. It's a real wonder why they never question themselves, that why wouldn't a normal, typical ELDDS member not utter a single syllable..? Either she's mute, hence she can only act in mimes, or that she's pissed, which is not likely because she can't be pissed everytime you see her; unless the sight of you pisses her off so much that she's intending to shut her mouth up, or she's got a horrible sore throat which just has to happen everytime you see her or maybe, because she and you have no utter common topic! For people who are still wondering what the answer to that very difficult question is, let me reveal the answer. The answer is that she and you have no utter common topic! Hands up who got that question correct -- nobody. So everyone is disillusionising themselves by thinking that:
a) I am mute.
b) I am pissed.
c) I have a bad sore throat.
d) All of the above.
I mean, for crying out loud.. And you call a baby naive..? So yeah, I guess I am in the same problem as you, and I am being accused of being cold. Tell me a funnier joke.
And I wouldn't turn into a China geek. Not for the world. Not for the universe. But somehow, if somebody actually asks me to turn into a China geek for the world, would you actually do it..? Somehow, I'll reconsider. Greed.. Hmm.. It really makes you think twice, doesn't it..? I am sure you will score in your humanities. I am sure that both you and Celestine are humanities person. Me..? I dunno. I guess I've never been serious / crazy / good enough to be an any-subject person. I used to think that I was a language person, but now, not really. I'm starting to think that I'm a Math and Science person. Sad, cos I really like my languages. And yes, although I love Literature and History very much, I am unable to commit myself to Pure Literature and elective History. I hate Geography. It is absolutely pointless. I don't think you should worry about taking stands in history although it happened way before you were born. Man was meant to disobey its ancestors. Man was made to be emotional, just depends on whether you see it or not. I take stands too. Like I was pretty pissed at Adolf Hilter for going to war. I always assumed that he went to war because he hated the Jews for killing his mother or something like that. However, I was informed 21 days ago that he disliked the Jews for another cause. No doubt, even after so many years, people still wonder why he went to war in the first place, and they still come up with other versions of it. Even now, I'm not very sure that my source is reliable or not. Is Horrible Histories reliable..?
2007 wouldn't only spell more work. We forgot something, Rachel -- juniors. My neighbour scored 248 for her PSLE score, and she's considering Crescent. So, new juniors. And because we're gonna be Sec 3 next year, we're gonna be the ones running the CCA. So, you in Guides, concentrate on giving your juniors the toughest training and / or Guides tests ever. Me, in ELDDS, will be stretching for most of the sessions, hence I will get to push my juniors down (literally) and bully them by making them do it all over again. Bloody juniors.
3. Family
My family is branched out like.. A Family Tree. Literally. But I, too, have distant and close cousins. I have.. 8 Singaporean cousins whom I know not their names. Wait, 4 + 3 + 3 = 10. Okay, so I have 10 Singaporean cousins whom I don't know their names. I don't even know their sirnames. And they are considered my.. close.. relatives because of their parent's blood-bond with my father. I recently managed to contact a friend of mine in Primary 6 and I found out that she was in Beatty Secondary school. I happily wanted to ask her if she knew my cousin who was also in Beatty Secondary, but I froze. Why? Because I didn't know her sirname / name / appearance. Its that serious. And I don't even know her anything except her age. Okay, so I managed to find something out and that is -- she is my friend's senior. Fantastic piece of news. Now what do we do with it..? Nothing. There are so many Sec 3 s in Beatty Secondary, I probably wouldn't find her.
I'm not very well accquianted with the "oversea's family" kinda thing. When a family transports overseas along with other relatives, do they get closer or do they drift apart more..? I've never attempted that before. Maybe I should one day. And I, too, regret being Chinese. We are a boring race, even though China is fascinating. But we are not China-Chinese. We are Singaporean-Chinese. And hence, I feel, we have no history at all, because our history lies in the depths of China, not of Singapore. Doesn't this make you wonder why you call yourself Singaporean when you're actually an immigrant by descent..?
Another thing -- I am sick of people asking me:" My, you're Chinese! Could you show me some kung-fu?"
For goodness sake, Chinese people don't grow up learning how to punch or kick. We might punch and kick while in our mother's womb or something, but no 2 year-old kid in Singapore does Shaolin Kung-fu. Maybe someone out there actually does that, but I haven't heard of someone doing that. Not everybody's Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, you know.
And I'm bloody pissed at my nephew. Yes, the Impotent nephew. Hold it, the.. Impotent Nephew?!? Well, we were talking about going to visit Taiwan yesterday and he said something that sounded like this: "You groin to visit mae?"
Now that is so wrong. I thought he was being cheeky. And I realised he said: "You're going to visit me?" I nearly killed him.
I think I'm done. 1496 words.
So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye!
Love,
ME
Postscript: I didn't include the Holiday schedule cos I can't find my calendar. Besides, Impotent Groin Man's here.

A hurried post
I can imagine that YOU managed over 2000 words. Afterall, you are one crappy person after my own heart. But I must say, it is quite a feat, no doubt. I think I've run out of ideas to speak of, hence my post will not excede 1000+ words. Besides, I'm gonna have lunch with my bloody nephew and hence... Really, really, Rachel... How could you actually DOUBT an ELDDS member..? You know that it is utterly preposterous. ELDDS members, I am sure, can manage about, say, 2000+ in probably an hour or something. Well, I had lunch while typing away busily for your post and hence... Probably an hour. I'm sure we all know that I'm not exactly Ms. Fast Eater, so I shan't insult myself no furthur. You wrote 1100+ for a Commonwealth Essay Compeitition in Primary 6? That's amazing. What did you actually write about..? "My daily routine"..? Well, according to your busy schedule, I am sure that you have more than 1100+ words to express it in. When I was in Primary 6, my compositions were 6 pages long. I have since retired and now I guess I only write about.. 3 pages..? Now, really, I don't intend to boast, but people with great achievements tend to speak of them in a more.. humbled.. version and hence others who are jealous of their accomplishments hence deem them as "boasting" of their successes.
I realise that I sound almost.. Philosophical.. today. What's with all the "hence(s)" going around..? I'm gonna sound like Confucius or Aristotle today. To which, I must say, that one of Aristotle's philosophical quotes have been slightly offensive. His quote on politics, that of: "So it is naturally with the male and the female; the one is superior, the other inferior; the one governs, the other is governed; and the same rule must necessarily hold good with respect to all mankind." Well, well. Is he sexist or what..? The MALE is the one who is more superior and is the one who governs the world..? Darn Aristotle. Really, really. Such impertinence. But, I have to say, I do agree with the statement to a little extent. The present society is built upon the shoulders of men. Hence, Aristotle's comment is currently applicable to present society. However, because women, after being oppressed for such a long time, are starting to stand up and fight for their own rights, which I would presume, to be correct. Afterall, that is when you get the "Ladies' Night" and "Girls rule, boys drool" or the "You go girl!" terms. However, what will become of men if they were deprived of their female counterparts..? In history even, women who stand up for themselves in society -- some sit down even, e.g. Rosa Parks, who had refused to budge when she was asked by a man [I refused to put the "gentle" infront of the man] to give up her seat. No doubt, great Ladies of society. So Aristotle's citation will not be able to be appropriate to be brought into play of the future society, because then, it will be run by women.
Oh shit, I wrote so much about that bloody Aristotle. I must had too much coffee, hence too much caffeine. Anyway, I never did do research on caffeine before. Is it bad or something..? According to Wikipedia, caffeine can cause "nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching (hyperreflexia), insomnia, and heart palpitations". Okay, so maybe I didn't suffer from caffeine. Nevertheless, I have no idea what I'm suffering from. Anyhow, I'm starting to post. So maybe I have a headstart of 500+ words..?
Okay, 604 words, to be exact. That is, according to MS Word. Hopefully Bill Gates is correct. If all goes well, I'll be able to complete 3000 words, as Rachel helpfully suggested. God bless me.
1. (whatthehell?! this again?!) Subjects
Furthur questioning is no use, Rachel. Even I am most surprised as to why I would have chosen such a bloody boring subject like Geography. I used to question Pure Geography students why they chose to study such a stupid subject cos there is "nothing absolutely interesting about rocks". Honestly until now, I don't even know why the hell I bothered to study a whole load of crap about volcanoes. Not that I'm gonna be a farmer on the volcanoes in future or a specialist on volcanoes. That's just so pointless. But I guess that I have no choice but to take Geography because it's the only crap subject that I can bullshit, and still score. I cannot bullshit in Literature because Literature teachers don't intend to read crap. They want a more.. holistic.. sort of structure. They want substance, they want solid, liquid and gas, all rolled up into one. I, am mainly made up of hot gas, hence, I am unable to give them the various forms of states in a package. Wait a minute. ME -- hot gas?!?! Trust me, I'm lying. <-- I like that. TRUST me, I'm LYING. ;]
Actually, I don't understand the difference between a liquidifed solution and an aqeous solution. There is a difference? Is it because in a liquidified solution e.g. water, the atoms are joined together in a molecular structure and they flow about in the liquid as one molecule; whereas in an aqeuous solution, the atoms, hydrogen and oxygen, move around the solution as atoms, not as one molecule? I have no idea, and I don't intend to do research on it. Say, is water actually made up of gas? That's so bloody weird. If I remember correctly, Hydrogen burns in air to form water. And since hydrogen and oxygen are both gases, according to the periodic table, how can 2 gases form a liquid? Tsktsk. Science. It's getting to my head. I'll be saying e = mc2 later on. Besides, did you know that there is an element called einsteinium? That's so cool. There's one called Germanium too. And another called Francium. Scientists..
You haven't bought your books yet? And don't worry, Literature books for both Pure and Elective students are the same. So we're gonna be discussing about the characters that we like on this blog next year. The Glass Menagerie is a fantastic book. You should read it. Only setback is that it's a play-book, meaning the entire book is a script. Yes, it is weird. I'm only starting to read The Whale Rider. It's a book about a tribal group and they've to elect a new chief, but the lead character is a girl and her grandfather thinks she's unfit to take over the role of the chief. So we're back to the same topic of prejudice again. I didn't read it in 52 mintues. I read it in 53. Its exciting, and the plot is simple enough for it to be performed on stage. I hope I get to play a part, if we ever have a play like that. Yes, I am honoured by all your confessions for your love for me, not to mention embarrased. ;]
Okay, I'm running outta time, so I'm gonna just skip to topic 5 and hopefully end it off. I'll make up for this for my next post.
2. Holiday Schedule, and a bit of PCD
Yeah, my holiday schedule is packed. But i'm sorta running outta time now, so I'll post my entire schedule, once again, in the next post. No, I haven't heard Don't Cha in Simlish. I didn't even know there was a language like that. Yes, it is pretty cool to actually come up with a language. I can't imagine people talking in Simlish or Elvish or Troll. That's one kind of weird. Your sister is interesting. She's so young and naive..
Well, I guess I've done most of my Holiday Homework. I guess.
3. Randoms
Well, yeah. I guess its pretty cool for both of us to actually meet each other somewhere in the world besides here. Its surprising too, and a little sad. Who knows when we'll have the chance to actually see each other again?
Jinhow is scary. The words he uses when he's talking to me over msn is surprising. How old do you think he is..? He looks like.. 28 - 30 or something, yet he sounds like an 18 year old kid. Surprising and scary. Well, yeah. Its creepy that he thinks its cool to be able to keep in touch with us. Cool just so isn't the word to use. I don't suppose the other Drama teachers still keep in touch with their students too. I can't imagine walking on Orchard with him, a couple of teachers and us. Oh god, tell me he's not serious. Did you ask Michellina about it..? I was laughing at the school excursion thing. Yes, maybe it'll look like a friggin school excursion. ;]
I will watch Step Up someday. And I'll give you my address next time we meet over msn or something... you ought to give me yours too, so I can send a card back.
Okay, I think I'd better end here now.. My nephew was waiting 17 minutes ago. So bye then.
Tata
Love,
ME
