Valentine's Day.

Wednesday, February 06, 2008

On this day, many crushes will be crushed.

As in, on this day, many couples will be created. From all walks of life, nerdy, sexy, show-off, bossy or shitty people, all of these people will stead or marry today. The amount of shotgun steads created on this day will be prodigiously huge. It is amusing to see students so young and innocent yet their skirts are as high as the World Trade Centre that was collapsed when three planes accidentally hit the buildings.


Why is this day so special?

No, it is not special. It is not a public holiday nor it is a school holiday. Worse still, I have an English supplementary lesson on this day. How exasperating. Not many people know what Valentine's Day is all about, that includes me. All they do is give gifts to their darlings and honeys and girls and say: "Happy Valentine's Day". Some do not even know that is spelt as "Valentine's" and not "Valentines".

Yes, it makes a good excuse to give something to someone you really like on this day. A convenient excuse (or "reason"), I shall say. The thing about this day is that it may not be so special for your loved one after all. You may be giving her something, but three/four/five other people may also be giving her/him something. This will dilute the effect that you want to give to her/him.

I know. I am being extremely utilitarian. But...life is a rollercoaster.

My school is selling roses at a price to the students. Why roses? Roses will wither and die a horrible death, probably thrown into a disposal or the petals will slowly detach, giving the rose a slow and painful death. Roses are impractical. Look at it, is there anything that we can do to it that will make it useful? You cant replant it, we are in Singapore, we dont have enough land. Also, do you know that roses have thorns that can kill? Do you want to be convicted for murder? Obviously not. So why are you giving your loved ones roses!!!


Chocolate? Chocolate is a great source of fats and one bar of chocolate with 50 percent cocoa will give you the same amount of bad fats a McSpicy burger will provide. You certainly would not want your girlfriend to be an avoirdupois* (another word for overweight, it sounds nicer and no one knows what it means).

Ok, thats all there is for this week.

School is overwhelmingly overwhelming.

Another New Year has Arrived

Tuesday, February 05, 2008


This is the continuation for the Grammy award-winning post on Chinese New Year last year.

Here is the link to the previous post: Link 1

Year after year, people from around the world, mainly the Chinese, celebrates what they call the "Chinese New Year". Many of these people are superstitious, but, that is wrong. They are not superstitious, they are being practical. Sweeping the floor, opening of the windows, etc is actually useful before Chinese New Year.

1) Opening windows and/or doors is considered to bring in the good luck of the new year.

Duh! Of course. When you open the windows and doors, rich people such as Bill Gates are able to enter your house and give you money. They will also give you an Xbox360 along with Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 2 and a three month subscription to Xbox Live. If the doors are closed...how the heck are these people going to give you good luck?

2) Sweets are eaten to ensure the consumer a "sweet" year.

If you eat sweets, your year would be "sweet". This pattern also leads to many other truths. If you eat Fish Curry, you will get a "Fish Curry" year. So, when Chinese New Year is coming, do not eat anything else but SWEETS.


3) Some believe that what happens on the first day of the new year reflects the rest of the year to come. Asians will often gamble at the beginning of the year, hoping to get luck and prosperity.

Yes, what you do on the first day of the year will reflect the rest of the year to come. When Asians gamble at the beginning of the year, they get luck and prosperity. This also means that they will be gambling for 365 days straight without stopping, as they gambled on the first day of the year.

4) Buying a pair of shoes is considered bad luck amongst some Chinese. The word "shoes" is a homophone for the word for "rough" in Cantonese, or "evil" in Mandarin.

Also, buying clothes will also bring bad luck because the word "clothes" is a homophone for the word for "your-mother-die". When you buy clothes during the New Year, your mother will die.

5) Sweeping the floor is usually forbidden on the first day, as it will sweep away the good fortune and luck for the new year.

Instead, you should VACUUM the floor during the first day as it will COLLECT the good fortune and good fortune will be literally STORED in the VACUUM BAG. When you need good fortune, OPEN THE VACUUM BAG and the good fortune will COME OUT.


Then, eat the good fortune.

6) "Avoid clothes in black and white, as black is a symbol of bad luck, and white is a traditional funeral colour."

Learnt in primary 6, black surfaces is a good absorber of heat. When you wear black, there will be enough heat in the cloth to actually burn it and does, all your family members will die. Including you. Also, don not wear white. White surfaces are good reflectors of heat. When you reflect heat to your friends, your friends will catch fire, instantly killing them. Certainly.


7) Give oranges to your relatives.

Oranges looks like balls. Balls look like...you-know-what, it is the "thing" in between a man's legs. By giving oranges to your relatives, you are assuring them that they have balls and they can reproduce WITH THE HELP OF A FEMALE. As in the case for females, just give them a banana.

Alright, that is all for this year. Tune in next year for more!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone.
