Life according to....

Imagine for one second, that everyone talked hokglish ( hokien and english). Life'd be pretty damn funny. It'd be like Pua Chu Kang in high definition. Actually worst..

Hypothetical scenario 1:
A friend spots a girl that is quite pretty walking on the street. He calls out to you, "Oi! Ci bai! That ca bo quite chooi leh!"
You turn your head and concur, therefore you say, "Diao! Right la brother! She damn si bei nap! But the ca bo heng next to her ka na sai man!!"
Your friend agrees and you walk away.

Hypothetical scenario 2:
You walk on the street, a car comes within inches of knocking your socks off. You feel unsatisfied. So you shout, "Eh diao you la ci bai!!! Ka ni na!! Who taught you to drive one??!! Your lau bu ah??!! No wonder your driving ka na sai only la!! I call mata then only you know ah ci bai!!"
The guy looks baffled. You walk away with one last cry of CI BAI!!!!

Hypothetical scenario 3:
You want to go to the toilet. But your friends are curious. They want to follow you and know where your going. So you say:
"Why so kae po wan you?? I pang jioo you also want to follow? For what jiak pa bo seh cho is it??"

If your laughing than I rest my case, if your confused, I'll unconfuse you with a little tutorial later, if you just think this post is weird and stupid and won't come visit my blog again, ah well...its better than those filler posts eh.

Tutorial:
ci bai:not very nice way of calling a person
ca bo:girl
ca bo heng:technically its like calling a girl Ms. Girl..so basically just girl.
chooi (pronouced-chi ooooo):pretty
diao:its not hokien technically..but we still use it...its basically fuck.
si bei nep (pronounced-sii bey nep):its like calling a girl...er...very hot in a not very nice way.
ka na sai:just like shit...literally.
ka ni na:not a very nice word to say also.
mata:police.
kae po (pronounced-kaee po):busy body.
pang jiooo (pronounced-pang jii ooooo):piss.
jiak pa bo see cho:eat full full then nothing to do...basically it means nothing better to do.
lau bu:mother

The author would also like to stress that not all hokiens curse as such and not all hokiens would result in shouting ci bai at the top of their lungs when confronted with such a situation. The author would like to appologise for any stereotyping of hokiens and subsequently would not like any hate comments from any hokiens. The author would like to stress that the purpose of this post is solely to entertain and not to discriminate and would like to also mention that he is a teochew/hokien and is proud to be one.

"Tiada noktah dalam cinta"

Read that off some blog quite sometime ago. I like that phrase. It says a lot of things without saying much. It gives us hope. Never ending hope. Hope that one day we'll all fall in love. It says that there's no stopping love, that love is continuous, constantly present. Hope, that among all the fog, its all good. There's no full-stop in love. Sounds better in Malay to be honest.

On a lighter note, my SAC's seem to have been on hiatus. I guess it got sick of looking at our faces, rather, the teachers got tired of marking our papers. Alas! My joys are short lived! As I've got 2 next week! A 3 day long ESL one and a Physics SAC. Well, at least my preference planning for uni is done, sort off. Still have to do McQuarrie Institute, but thats for another day. Then there's the UCAS thingo, thanks Beve by the way for the enlightenment, but still gotta be enlightened a little bit more.

Nothing much happens from now on. As I have said before, will be blogging on and off. Nothing really good to blog about. Its still extremely imperative to eat ginger porridge when you're sick AND living alone, simply because its the simplest thing to make, especially when your sick. I disregard chicken soup, cause its an old wives tale, it don't work, but ginger porridge...now thats something I swear by.

Anyway, I will try posting some pictures on Melbourne+winter as soon as I go round taking some pictures. So till then...

It takes 2 to tango...or does it?

Its absolutely imperative to eat ginger porridge when you are sick.

In lighter news, Samantha is here and so is Richmond. This sudden influx of people is slightly alarming and rather amusing to be honest. Particularly because this, of all time, would be the worst time to drop by Melbourne. Simply because its cold and raining. Hence the particularly bad health. Typically they came to wonder upon the great state of Asian people outside of Asia. Take in the sights and sounds of the city. Visit people, the whole shenanigan. I just wonder if they've got school.

Other than that nothing much is happening. The term is getting very busy. Tonnes of SAC's, a few more tests, lots of application stuff for uni and what not.

Nothing much to say, lots of stuff to do. So I guess we'll leave it there for now. By the way, whats the UCAS deadline? Or is registration already closed? o.O

You know, last year, there were 671 applications for the Bachelor of Commerce in LSE....only 51 were accepted....O.O No pressure eh.

Give me a tune, and I'll sing you a song

3 SAC's + 1 test + band practice = very tiring

Math is killing me. I will die seeing numbers o.O

Consider this a temporary post. Partially cause there's nothing to blog about. So till I find something substantial to blog about, I'm on hiatus. Plus the work, SAC's, and tests are taking its toll on me. 3 and a half more months to go till VCE. Mid term results come out next week O.O. Formal is on Friday. I am now going to sleep.

So hum hallelujah,
Just off the key of reason,
I thought I love you,
Was just how you looked in the light,
A teenage vow in the parking lot,
Till tonight do us part,
I sing the blues and swallow them too.

Hum Hallelujah
-Fall Out Boy-
