A day with some chicks

I had the opportunity to chat with some Ms Earth Singapore contestants today at an eco-fashion workshop organised by SAVE. They are surprisingly down-to-earth & humble. One of them was chatting with me about global warming and how it would affect Singapore. At the end of that, she said that she can learn a lot from me. I guess it's funny that as one gains a higher status, it impresses others a lot when you are humble.

On another note, I'm sorry I haven't been joining you guys for ur activities. I've been real busy with Green Carnival. Qiu Han also helping out too! If you want to know what's the fuss all abt, go to www.greencarnval.com & check out our activities!

Btw, happy birthday leonard!

White Hair

My brother came out of the bathroom, saying that he has a strand of white hair. So he bent down and ask me to pluck it out for him. I, of course, refused. (Reason being he's 2 years younger than me.)

So he 'stomped' away, and stood in front of the mirror for moments, trying to locate the white hair and he can't find it and he laughs at the mirror. And while I'm typing this I'm laughing my head off because he's mumbling 'I saw it..I saw it...' Oh and he just said to me 'Can you don't waste my time and pluck it out??'

Oh look, he's coming over. He bends down again. I refused again. HAHAAH and he went back to the mirror! HAHA the fact is, I couldn't see that white strand! HAHAHAH OMG OMG OMG

Ohhh he's coming back again HAAAAHAHAHAAH he ask me to 'Don't play lahhh! Find that white hair!!!' He say 'Don't waste time lahhhh!!!'

*in stitches* Oh! He's got a new technique. He goes back to the mirror and locates the white hair, and he holds on to the hair, and he tells me that 'the white hair is in this group of hair'. Then he walks over. Then I knock his hand away and he laughs and he obviously has given up. He walks back to the mirror.

Then I tell him to 'aiya..give up lah...' Then he said 'Shut up lah, I'm busy lah!' HAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

As of now, he's looking intelligently into the mirror, his fingers working hard at locating the white strand of hair. He laughs occasionally. I think my brother is psycho. :P

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAA he's walking over here again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 10 minutes of negotiating:
_____________________________

''seriously, what's the big fuss about? it's just a white hair what''
"a white hair is not just a white hair you know... it's self-esteem you know...''
"so when you're 50 years old, you'll not be confident anymore?"
"shut up lah. it's 11 o'clock already."

then he holds a group of hair again, and tells me to pluck it out. alright. so i plucked it out. i counted till 3 and i plucked it out on the count of 2 so that he wouldn't feel the pain, if any.

i measured the white hair. it was 5.4cm, a stunning 2cm more than the rest of his hair.

Aftermath

then he took the hair from me, and said

"now i must tie it into a knot."
"hah? for what?"
"because people say that if tie into a knot, i will not grow white hair anymore." he pauses and continues, "but then i've already tied a lot of knots and i still have white hair."

so he intelligently ties it into a knot.

"and then now i must throw it out of the window. this tradition is i ownself add one."

i watched him throw that strand of 5.4cm out of the window, into the night wind.

then he said to nobody in particular,
"ahhh. now i feel more confident." and walks back to his room.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh......!

1. How effectively can states safeguard their sovereignty in the contemporary international system? Is sovereignty an inviolable principle?

2. Can states lose the right to demand obedience from their citizens?

OH-MY-TIAN!!!

Eccentric!

there are some situations where it became weird because of the things i said. it's more like i can't control my mouth. it just tumbles out without me filtering/editing the dialogue and sometimes it's quite funny, and to an extent even, embarrassing.

1. like one night, i had dinner with a cousin and my mother. and there was the 'getai' there. so i accidentally asked my mother 'are the chairs [of the getai floor] for people who haven't die?'

2. another time i saw my acquaintances [X and Y] in school, and we talked for a while. but after that we kind of realized there's nothing much to talk after that, and there was an awkward pause, like, we were waiting for things to happen or something. so i blurted 'why don't you guys make a move first.. because.. i'm going to make a move too.' they looked at me oddly. can't blame them.

3. another time after a conversation with an ex-classmate on the corridor, i said 'ok! i gtg. i got class now, so i'll see you later! wait, not later, as in, around. what i meant is, see you around.'

4. oh then got one time lecture finished already, then i rose. but then the person on my right (whom i don't know), who is blocking the whole row's exit, was still seated. so i just asked 'aren't you moving?' and that poor foreign guy said 'no i'm hanging around here for a while.' to which i replied 'ok. as for me, i'm moving.' HAHAHA. ohmytian. my friend commented that that was VERY odd. i KNOW okay?? think i wasn't embarrassed?

5. Central library. Perk point. I needed a chair. Every chair was used. Then got one guy using TWO chairs (for his legs) and it was the chair i always used. So I walked past once, and stared at him. in the eyes. (i didn't mean to! i was trying to figure out if he's local or foreign) then i surveyed if any other free chairs again before i have to do the inevitable. nope there weren't. so i went back to him and he had already started to push the other chair (for his legs) away. [THAT WAS FUNNY!!!] i said 'i'm sorry..' then he shook his head and said 'don't worry it's perfectly alright..' 'ok, so.. i'll use this.' then i pushed the chair to the other end of the room where i can put my legs up. i mean, that was bad! bad bad bad bad baaaad...
