the taming of the shrew; or: malvolio's day out
anyone who's watched or read r+j will tell you he dies just before all the good bits start. draw what inferences you may.
that last sentence is grammatically okay but very clunky. bah. shall not be bothered to change it but will instead leave it standing as a monument to my incresingly-shaky grasp of the English Language. yes my little chickens, that is a divine capitalisation. it is an Institution to be revered, and i wish singaporeans would respect it half as much as other typically-singaporean traits such as Compulsive Pointless Queueing, The Gahmen Policy-ar I Tell You (pro- and con-), Maid Abuse, and Spending Ninety Dollars On Steamboat Dinners And Then Arguing Over A Thirty-Cent Charge For Used Wet Towels.
felt slightly wilted from the compulsive pigging. the blasts of rain gusting underneath the bus stop and huge sprays of water from inconsiderate mad drivers (who drives at 50 km/h in the bus lane in the dark under heavy rain? i concur) did not help the blah mood. but! i got to sit in marcus' Selfish Car. and go at 120 km/h. ahhhahaha!
but! roti prata, good icecream, pedophilic behaviour and fun but erks tennis playing saved the day. 4 3stanis sitting in a room b-u-m-m-i-n-g.
lunch with funny-accent-melk and jan at nydc: there was much chocolate and gushing over intelligent hunky american baimawangzi. and also new true religion jeans for 65 bucks! happiness.
hon! cheer up. merry merry post-boxing day to you.. always darkest before the dawn. happiness is something we all have to work at a little bit. thank goodness we all have good friends, chocolate, icecream and 3stan to help us through lousy times :]

in the depth of winter i finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
