the beer and the skittles

During GP we learnt cool idioms through the magic of charades like “life’s not all beer and skittles” which means “life’s not all fun and games”.

I didn’t do my Econs work as usual even though I promised myself that I would. I really don’t have any willpower 🙁

Mr. Tan told BT and me to meet him after Econs consultation, which Malcolm couldn’t turn up for Turns out that our project idea was a bad idea and we’d be better off writing about helping people in East Timor. Before we could protest, he plonked this 2010 WR by another group in front of us. Which was about the exact same topic, had the same sources (because food waste in Singapore is quite a shit topic to talk about) and even had the same solutions. This meant that we couldn’t risk doing the same topic for fear of plagarism. If we tried not to plagarise anyone, we probably would

We were despairing while Mr. Tan went through what we could do. However, Malcolm had a brainwave and told us to use “sports injuries in youths” as a problem, which was frankly the best idea anyone had come up with in the entire 7 months we spent on this project. So I guess it was okay. But Mr. Tan kept trying to persuade us to take up projects relating to other countries such as depleted uranium in Bosnia which is frankly an idea only a lofty-headed person would try to solve. I know it’s serious, but how are we supposed to come up with a solution that the authorities didn’t?

So after that I went home.

I realised I was overreading people’s emotions and body language and stuff and I often mistake people for being angry or scared or whatever when they aren’t actually. I’m either extra-sensitive or extra-dunderheaded and blah. That outburst on Friday…

I can’t say I didn’t mean it. But I’ll try to look past all these negativities… the next time.

RANDOM HIDDEN QUOTE OF THE DAY

“DO YOU MASTURBATE”
Me: *STUNNED SILENCE*
“okay you do. Did you know cornflakes are a good anti-masturbatory aid?”

I Don’t Bite – We Are Scientists

There isn’t anything to talk about
You know I don’t mean any harm
I really don’t mean anything at all
If we both understand what’s going on
It’s pretty clear we’ll get along
It’s pretty clear we’ll get it

I don’t bite but you can’t believe it
(You can’t believe it)
I don’t bite but you can’t believe it
(You can’t believe it)

This isn’t quite what I was counting on
I wish I knew just what you want
I wish I knew anything at all
I thought the point here was to have some fun
I only wanna get it done
I only wanna get it

I don’t bite but you can’t believe it
(You can’t believe it)
I don’t bite but you can’t believe it
(You can’t believe it)

I don’t mean anything
I don’t mean anything

I don’t bite but you can’t believe it
(You can’t believe it)
I don’t bite but you can’t believe it
(You can’t believe it)

And I learnt that the Youtube video I posted yesterday wasn’t performed by a live orchestra. How disappointing 🙁
