Blogmarathon Day Nine -- A Very Sort-of Meaningless Entry
Lately i've been telling Moo (that's Munirah Aguilera to you okay, only i can call her a cow) about the things i'd wanted to talk about on my blog. I thought they make good Blogmarathon topics. First time, she said okay she'll remind me about it if and when i ask her about it. Second time, she said okay good choice(s) but i'd better write about them soon before i and HER start forgetting. Then subsequently she just went "nyehhh you never write about the things you said to remind you about so nyehhh i won't even bother remembering what you tell me" and then i went "nyehhh you're so damn right but nyehhh maybe this time i won't because it's a damn good topic" but nyehhh i damn forgot that school's over now but that isn't good news because it only means that the exams are here so nyehhh!
The Blogmarathon mood just went zap zap poof poof GONE.
... and so are the things i'd wanted to talk about.
I'm only two entries away to completing the Blogmarathon. I'm starting to think this is way harder than completing the 2.4km run-walk-jog-hop-crawl-golek-golek.
But Mama says it isn't good to do things halfway so complete this Blogmarathon i must. Complete the 2.4km run-walk-jog-hop-crawl-golek-golek i did not.
So i asked Moo again, which would she rather give up, her sense of eyesight or hearing? I didn't really catch her answer, the girl was busy daydreaming about Loo and Loh and Lee and worrying about exams and her World Skills Competition training all at the same time (i don't know how she does that, she must've been a juggler in her previous life). Okay let's just leave her in her reverie. We'll come back for her later.
I've been having ENT problems since i've busted my tonsils. Haha! Check out my choice of words. This better be the exams' fault. I think i'm really deaf (tone deaf, if you must), i don't quite catch what people tell me normally. If you ask my people, they'll just tell you i'm actually not deaf, i just like to tune them out. I'll go and bathe the cat now, only i don't have one.
I'm going to make brownies this weekend! Moo, do you hear that?? You better come out with me if you want some! Exams be damned. Also, i decided not to be racist. Aside from brownies, i'll be making blondies as well. I'll call them the yin-yang thingies. But then, i'd have to do redheadies and yellowies and brunetties as well... and just how many different colours of hair are there? If i'm crazy enough, i'll make apple crumble as well. I've never done it before but i've got the recipe and if it turns out bad, i'll just... Eh i just told Mama to make Yong Tau Foo because i miss it. I'm going to work damn hard and save up up up just so i can visit Norway and see the Northern Lights.
Are you kidding me? The first paper is on next Friday. You shouldn't encourage me to stay online, y'know. You really shouldn't. I've wasted half a day, no thanks to YOU. I'm going already.
Just for the record, i'd rather keep my sense of sight and dear God you can take away my sense of hearing and give it to the less fortunate if You want to. And while You're at it, you can take away some of my babats and give it to those malnourised kids, i won't mind at all really. I've enough to feed the kids in C a m b o d i a. Ifran says he has enough to feed the whole of A f r i c a. Hahaha! (yeah you got mentioned again)
I've led my life visually, and i've picked things up by observing, not so much hearing. We kids of the 20th Century don't listen at all, try asking our parents. The only thing we hear and listen to is... you guessed it, MOOZEEK. So other than that, we just like to SEE. Okay why am i talking on behalf of the other kids?
I'll be content with having a silent world. 'Cause y'see, it won't really be silent. I'd still be able to read, and words are magic things. They paint pictures, they sing songs, they conjure up a world not quite like the world you and i are living in now. The very beauty in songs lies in the words, not so much the melody. According to me, at least. I'd rather SEE words than HEAR words. It's just the idea of interpretation. Meanings can be twisted just by (mis)pronunciation and intonation. However, the same can't be said if words are laid bare on paper.
It is not just aesthetics. I feel that i'd be more in control if i can see my surroundings. Okay maybe it is more about aesthetics. But it goes deeper than the superficial.
Having said that, dear God You can take away anything from me and give it to the less fortunate because i'll still be happy to have my family around with me. No actually it's just a good excuse not to sit for the exams.
Good God! Am i still online?
