funny that

Q: what was the crappiest line you've ever said?
A: "life is like pampers, full of shit" from 2003 inter-faculty dramafeste, as a husband accompanying a wife who happened to deliver when a robber (who turned out to have a certificate in nursing) locked all of us (the 8 casts) in a convenience shop with automatic doorlock. a complete crap. but funny crap nevertheless. i still remembered that my senior (a malaysian) started the whole play with one word, "screw!" (initially, it was supposed to be, "fuck", what else?). seriously, the scriptwriter was out of his mind (he's in nus too now, i think, by the name of dewen). the school magazine wrote the play off as the most vulgar ever. that came from a double maths faculty. wow.

you know. it's funny that sometime life is just so much more interesting than it seems to be. i mean come on. i was like busily spreading that Letzter Tag music video around. then i happened to message this girl whom i haven't messaged for a vey long time. this is what i got from the conversation:

about 5 lines into the conversation, this happens

someone: means u like her
someone: haha

another 5 lines after that (as i tried to dodge the question), this happens

me: who tell u i'm her fan? =P
someone: u very bad la!!!!!
someone: of coz i know la............hehe..
someone: wan to go after ppl no need scared one
me: ERMMM
someone: fan sooner will become admirer
someone: or already become admirer

wooot!? what can i say? hmm. i was speechless.

lucky she never pursued that further (she did, but i managed to kind of avoid the subject altogether). this starts to sound like a familiar "story" that i was just told rather recently. hmm. hopefully it doesn't end the same way.

another one, another one:

nickname - how often does a couple quarrel???

me: how come ur nick very.. u just quarelled?
someone: u ans me.. i'm doing a survey, from ur experience
me: hmm.. depends.. depends on expectation on each sides and whether they match, that's e best answer i can give
someone: wat!!!!!!!i wan a figure la.....
me: once a fortnight?
someone: wat!!!!! so often!!!!!!!!
me: i told u depend.. heheh.. u ask a person who just broke up a few months ago, of course it's often..
me: if u asked me half a year earlier.. then once in two months, max once in a month
me: wat kind of survey is this??
someone: haha.. but that's quite often

wow. once in a month is often? i wonder what kind of quarrel is she talking about. haha! if you're talking about those couple-breaker quarrel, then of course not that often lar! no wonder she always smiles everyday. happy couple eh? haha!

funny that people say quarrel makes two people closer. what!? seriously? (with a hint of sarcasm.) it's all b.s. lar. isn't it better not to quarrel at all? sometime it's true that quarrel get people closer, but most of the time, it just reduces trusts with each other, especially if you're close enough to the other person already. trust me, to all the couple out there, try not to fight often. it's not good for your health. ever heard of a disease called high blood pressure? i almost thought i'd get it a few months ago. lucky it has subsided now.

it's funny that this song finds a fan in me. sigh. been a long time since i like this kind of song. slow, melancholic and classic-ish. it's the first german song i've ever heard. wow. that's kind of unbelievable. especially since my dad used to study in germany for quite awhile. to think about it, he should have some recordings of german songs. but no, he passed all his records to his brother a long time ago. no wonder. hmm.

anyway, here's Grönemeyer's Letzter Tag for you. it's not hard to follow the lyrics. especially if you're malaysian or indonesian. just read it as your would with malay or indonesian songs. good luck. i managed to follow quite well the first time around. if anyone has the translation, please pass me. i'd love to know the meaning of this song. the last time i liked a song with no translation, it was Eason Chen's Xiong Mei. then people started to tell me the meaning behind that song. haha! so funny. i almost burst out laughing.

Demo (Letzter Tag)
Herbert Grönemeyer

Weiß man, wie oft ein Herz brechen kann?
Wie viel Sinne hat der Wahn?
Lohnen sich Gefühle?

Wie viele Tränen passen in einen Kanal?
Leben wir noch mal?
Warum wacht man auf?
Was heilt die Zeit?

Ich bin dein 7. Sinn,
Dein doppelter Boden,
Dein zweites Gesicht.
Du bist eine kluge Prognose,
das Prinzip Hoffnung,
ein Leuchtstreifen aus der Nacht.
Irgendwann find und lieb ich dich ...

Ich bin eine deiner Farben,
kannst mich wählen, kannst sie tragen,
Kannst sie bleichen.
Verrat dir alle Geheimzahlen,
Werd dir die kühnsten Träume ausmalen,
Werd dir erklären, wovon ich nichts versteh.

Ich bin dein 7. Sinn,
Dein doppelter Boden,
Dein zweites Gesicht.
Du bist eine sichere Prognose,
das Prinzip Hoffnung,
ein Leuchtstreifen aus der Nacht.
Irgendwann find und lieb ich dich ...

Das Leben fließt rot in unseren Venen,
Ich servier dir's auf einem goldenen Tablett.
Du holst mich aus dem grauen Tal der Tränen,
Lässt alle Wunder auf einmal geschehen,
Dass mir Hören und Sehen vergeht.

Ich bin dein 7. Sinn,
Dein doppelter Boden,
Dein zweites Gesicht.
Eine Lieblingsfarbe,
Dein sportlichster Wagen,
Dein tiefster Tauchgang,
Dein Segelflug.

Du bist eine gute Prognose,
Das Prinzip Hoffnung,
Ein Leuchtstreifen aus der Nacht.
Ich find dich und lieb dich mehr als mich.
Ich lieb dich mehr als mich.
Irgendwann find ich dich.
Ich find dich oder nicht.
Ich lieb dich mehr als mich und ich finde dich.
Ich find dich oder nicht.

ah, i finally finished my analysis assignment. that's it! now starting on my nano-projects, two of them. then going to cyberarts studio later to do my other sonic project. so many things so little time. as usual huh?

anyway, chunks (steph) quoted this guy about time:

"Don't say you don't have enough time.You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Mchaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."

H. Jackson Brown Jr.

totally appropriate. i guess that guy is right. i guess i can do it then! (but to think about it, Einstein ran out of time when he tried to solve the Grand Unified Theory. he died.)

moving on, i managed to find clues about Herbert Grönemeyer. apparently, before he came out with this album Mensch (where Demo is the bonus track), he just lost his wife and brother due to cancer. he didn't write or sing anything for three years. the album really shows his feelings. full with emotion, sadness and hope. that's what i read. this song is titled Letzter Tag, meaning The Last Day. i started feeling sad again right now. The Last Day huh? -ponder-

funny that. i was just being offered a position as IT Director for The Triple Helix. Hmm. no CCA points, high difficulties of finding good team members and everything. yet. i think i'm going to accept it. good luck me!

as usual, my thirst for this kind of stupid adventure will probably render me too busy next year again. here i am thinking of applying as Sub-Editor (IT) for Hall Annual Magazine next year. someone peel open my skull and examine my brain please! there must be something wrong with it!

ahh! and so many cards to write on. so many seniors are leaving from my block... -sad-
