Okie, I was forced to upload a video of my dog by HUANG, so here it is.



*drinks ice lemon tea outside canteen*
Conscience: Hey! You can't do that!
Me: Why not?
Conscience: Because its bad. Its against the rules.
Me: Therefore?
Conscience: You can't do it because its against the rules.
Me: There. Rules were made in order to prevent the worst from happening, like how they ban drinks to prevent people from spilling it outside the canteen. I can assure you that I won't spill the drink, hence it is fine for me to take the drink out of the canteen.
Conscience: No matter what their purpose is, the rule is there, you can't break it.
Me: Rules are meant to be broken anyway! 'Sides, its implying that you can't spill drinks outside of the canteen, but you are encouraged to within the canteen compound.
Conscience: No, as I said, the rules are there in order to prevent all worst case scenarios, you blatantly defying it is already creating an opportunity.
Me: I already said, I am 100% sure I won't spill the drink, hence it is fine!
*violently throws drink on the ground*
Me: HEY. WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR.
Conscience: There, the worst happened.
Me: But you did it! Its none of my business! If you didn't intentionally do it I'd have been fine.
Conscience: But the worst case scenario happened, and you assured me that you were 100% sure that it wouldn't, without exception, including my intervention.
Me: That's unfair!
Conscience: Whether or not its unfair, the worst case scenario happened, and you were proved to be blatantly lying in your assurance, hence you're in the wrong.
Me: YOU-
Conscience: Clean it up, boy.


As I said, today was relatively uneventful, including the ever-dreaded Math TA which I fared rather well in, SS where the word 'hegemony' came under much debate, if I may quote,

RTYJ: What's the meaning of hegemony?
Suwe: Uh. Harmony!
Quah interrupts: Domination over another faction.
RTYJ: Harmony your HEAD lah!

And to those 4C people reading the blog, pl0x think about the SS topics by tomorrow recess, because I probably have to hand it up to her whether I like it or not. Otherwise I'll put the unlisted ones as 'Hegemony'.

And of course there was the beloved Higher Chinese. Actually, Sir Tan is quite a good person lah. He's just a bit evil, that's all. His friend died over the weekend still come to school and teach. And if you actually stay awake to listen to what he says, sometimes its quite interesting. Its like storytelling. Which reminds me, today he was telling us about this 曾国藩 guy who, although was a terrible bastard, mass murdering 200,000 soldiers who surrendered to him, but still displayed strong will in abstaining from vices like opium and weiqi (?). Goes against my motto, but still. When he told us about the murders a line from my favorite book was ringing in my head. 'To be popular, one must be a mediocrity'.

Watched two movies recently, in the time I wasn't occupied in my ever-addictive hobby of computer gaming. First was Bruce Almighty. Two quotes struck me.

Bruce: So tell us mama, why make Buffalo's biggest cookie?
Mama Kowolski: Well, man from health department say he find rat pellet in pastry but I say no, is big chocolate sprinkle, but he shut store down. So we clean up, make big cookie for to bring customers back.
Bruce: Let's try that again, shall we?
Bruce: [New take] So tell us mama, why make Buffalo's biggest cookie?
Mama Kowolski: So all the children in the neighborhood will be happy?
Bruce: And isn't it nice to see all their smiling faces?
Vol Kowolski: I work in back. I see no smiles.

Oh wait, its a different one.

Bruce: There were so many. I just gave them all what they want.
God: Yeah. But since when does anyone have a clue about what they want?

And of course.

God: Parting your soup is not a miracle Bruce, it's a magic trick. A single mom who's working two jobs, and still finds time to take her son to soccer practice, that's a miracle. A teenager who says "no" to drugs and "yes" to an education, that's a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. What they don't realize is *they* have the power. You want to see a miracle, son? Be the miracle.

Inspirational. I swear the movie kinda moved me. Quite a lot. Hmm. I will be talking about the other one next time though, I'm rather tired and I'm supposed to be gone for archery. Bye all!

Stench of humanity,
The rot of those fair.
Despair!
Of lost sanity and
Dreams never there.
