Attachment

Hmm i'm currently on attachment to the SAFMDC choir... It's kinda cool being in this camp... Only need to book in at 9.15am and sometimes we even finish before 5.30pm... Plus we're in air-conditioned rooms all day singing... Wish I could be here longer.. I even found that I recognised a few old friends and acquaintances... The type of people who can at least enunciate their words well... So far so good, we've learnt 4 songs, two latin, one german, and one englsh medley. The latin songs are really nicely composed, while the german one attempts to strangle everyone haha... I'm really having a lot of fun singing and ribbing the twins Jonathan and David Charles Tay. I've known these two monkeys for a really long time, and it's kinda fun to be working with them in a choir once again... Really wish this dream wouldn't come to an end.. unfortunately the end is all too near... only two weeks left before i go back full-force to my old camp... With 4 guard duties to do over 3 weeks.. oh the joy... all of my weekends will prolly be sacrificed... ah well...

3 Days of mc are over...

They were great while they lasted, went to the airport a total of three times... Don't ask why, it'd take too long to explain, lol... Hmm, managed to get loads and loads of sleep... Also managed to satisfy my craving for basketball... There're only so many times you can miss simple shots until you feel sated haha... Well, the reason why I had to go on 3 days of MC was because I had a really bad rash outbreak... It's not that I couldn't function as a normal person due to it, but more of the fact... I really needed a cool(as in temperature not atmosphere) and stressless environment for a while, I'd been sorely lacking these two criteria in my life for some time now... Well, alls well that ends well, I just hope my rash doesn't flare up again tmr when I go back to camp, that'd just suck... Will blog something interesting next week.. i hope... ttyl

Rambulations...

I wonder what an anotational heuristic means... My friend and I were discusing sociology the other day, and the words fractual heuristic came up... Took us about 4mins disucssion to come to the conclusion that it meant something similiar to paradoxical beliefs or statements. Fractual meaning broken, and heuristic meaning logical(ok i'm oversimplifying it, by i'm jus too lazy to look up the official translations, lost my cheem-ology to english dic.) Then somehow anotational heuristic came up.. and up till now we still have no idea what it means haha...

In other language news, A friend and I were having a laugh over common proNUNciation errors in singapore(yes it's pronunciation u cretins, not pronounciation, nun not noun.) Like a doc fren who just didn't know what "flair-ghem" as he pronounced was... I had to laugh as I saw the word "phlegm", to the more Cheeneese blog readers, it is also pronounced "flem" yes that green/yellow/white stuff that comes from ur mouth when u have a bad cough. And to all hokkien pengs, it is pronounced 'ron-deh-voo' not 'ren-dez-vous'... And that soft long hollow thing you use to spray water with? It's called a hose not a pipe...*mutter* Not every long hollow thing is called a pipe, sometimes they are tubes, hoses, even hollow bars... And you don't 'carry' glasses, you 'wear' them... Another phrase that more sophisticated(note dripping sarcasm) hokkien peng use is 'menage a trois' I have no idea where they dredged up this phrase but it is NOT pronounced 'manage a kiosk'. KNNBCCB lah, lin nah bui, bui tahan...

Anyway to stop ranting... heard a rather funny joke on the radio recently.

A farmer had three beautiful daughters. All of whom were very precious to him. Alas as time would have it, all three girls were to go out on their first date, and coincidentially all on the same day! As the girls got ready for their outing, first came the first boy, he rapped,
"Hey, my name is Joe,
I'm here for Flo,
Gonna bring her to the show
Is she ready to go?"
The farmer replied, "not yet, come in, take a seat"

Then came the second boy, he rapped,
"Hey my name is Bill,
I'm here for Camill,
We'll go see the seals,
Is that a deal?"
The farmer replied, "not yet, come in, take a seat"

Then came in the third boy he rapped,
"Hey my name is Chuck..."
BANG! the farmer shot him dead...

(hope u understand, if not *hint* what rhymes with Chuck)
