Ffloosh is behind you, edi-TOR Nah.
Hello Fflooshers (the name sounds weird),
Greetings i bring from the inhabitants of Joshua-land. where the number of citizenships currently stands at one (yours truly, uh-hum). that's if you don't include the monkey that i mentioned in my story that is able to communicate with the spirits and bring them back. ah, whatever. anyway, it's fictional.
and it's ok lay ming, not all of us get a kick out of making convoluted, lengthy sentences ornamented with incomprehensible, bombastic, obscure, unfathomable, mind-boggling, confounding language like some of these exclusively linguistically inclined, highly profound aliens who totally enjoy writing stuff that other than baffles most of the time, does sometimes achieve the effect of evoking a snigger or a guffaw here and there. trust me, i was not totally independent of the thesaurus in the completion of this crappy, meaningless, unedifying, stupendous paragraph. phew. what a mouthful.
ok, here's the point. most of us write simple because we seek the understanding and agreement of others in what we write. so we don't write to confound. haha. ok lah.... everyone just have their own style of writing (this line came from the editor) lah... and some people are gifted in their writing... which sadly i am not... but who cares? ok, i am devoting too much blog space to this rubbish...
-end-
anyway, i was supposed to be the second person to post, but some people beat me to it. so no points for the first non-editorial post. hahaha... but i didn't know what i wanted to post as well... actually i still don't know. well.. for a start, i could go on again on how much fun i had during the camp, and also how much un-fun i had as well... but that's boring.
ok i know. i could help our dear editor campaign for the post of chair FOC '07. i think it will be so cool if he becomes the chair. (i am so going to laugh until i get fits and die) and i am not questioning his competency, but the thought of him going up and starting his captive audience speech again just triggers the hysteria button in me. yes, and so i was supposed to be campaigning instead. so here goes.
erwin bananah rocks big time can. (shit, i sound very wrong) he's able to start a conversation on his own. i mean that's really not easy can. some people can do that for a minute max and then feel real stupid and stop. but this guy, i tell you... woah! he can just go on and on and on and on and until he's done with what he has to say. best thing is he is able to capture an audience in the process of doing so (albeit an imaginary one most of the time)... ok lah, i'm sure the Fflooshers will be listening. and plus he can do a Hong Kong accent like Russell Peters in "Russell Peters". i don't know what's the name of the show lah. and the funniest part is when he gets so sucked into the role that when he tries to revert back to his normal singaporean way of speaking, he just blurts out another mouthful of stuff in HK accent. i think that's quite a bit about him already. so next time, if you see him round the corner trying to make a highly condescending (ok, the word doesn't sound very nice, just ignore the negative connotations, i can't think of another word for now. ok, how about "demeaning"? ok, it sounds just as bad. forget it) joke about someone (it's usually deana, cos she's worth more points), just go over and give him a hi-five if you think he's funny, and a hi-ten if you think he's real funny. well, otherwise, just be nice and give him in a hi-V or a hi-two or a hi-twist (whatever you call it) ok...
ok bottomline is, throw in your vote for him when he runs for FOC '07 chair.
ok, erwin, now you owe me ten bucks for making myself a shallow, fatuous, imbecile fansi of yours. gosh. i have just lost another few friends in the process. but thank goodness i have...........................................................................................Ffloosh!!! - the answer to an impending friendless life in school. =) yay. i am awarded 10 pts for making such a great promotion for Ffloosh. but back to the point, i have just degraded myself to campaign for you, now you can only return the favour by running for FOC'07 chair.
ok, i feel real stupid now. i shall return to Joshua-land to save myself any further embarassment. i'll be back again when my next visa is approved. till then, please keep me as a friend still.
and on a serious note, please do keep Apple's mum and Apple in your prayers. let's not forget that there's one of us who isn't having it easy even as we crap along and talk nonsense and have fun here and now.
To Apple: Be strong, Ffloosh will always be there to back you up. =) God bless.
and God bless y'all too,
Ting Yi
