Wednesday, February 25, 2009
1. The fact that he didn't ask me to write 10 Things for him, and yet I feel I should.
2. His laugh. It is very distinctive and infectious, and I must confess there have been occasions when I said silly things just to hear him laugh at it. Lol.
3. His very interesting choice of vocabulary, ranging from "Your mother!" to "A**hole!" to some more unprintable words, to "Nice!" and "Yeah!" and "Don't lame la!" and OMG how could I almost forget. GAY. Hahahahaha.
4. His sense of humour. Idiocracy! Pancake Mines! Hahaha!
5. His curiosity and... well, some people would call it stupidity, but I think it's just a natural adolescent-male urge to press/break/write/say something just to see what happens as a result. LOL THE FIRE ALARM. I know it wasn't funny at the time and YL and co made a lot of people angry, but it's funny hearing about it now. :D
6. Mr Chang can speak the slang! Ok it doesn't make sense when I just type it out, I have to say it before you get it. But he can. Slang, I mean. Heh.
7. He designed my Pervy Boy blogskin! And the one before that which had the type-in-this-thingy-and-that-thingy function. It was so cool. But stupid people like me got confused using it. LOL.
8. HE SUPPORTS PERVY BOY. He came to the Jap Association gig AND brought his pals. Yeah!
9. His natural intelligence and inquisitiveness make him a great person to have in class - because he bothers to ask questions, which means he bothers to think about things enough to realise there are questions he wants to ask.
10. His genuine desire to improve and to do everything to the best of his ability. His motivation inspires me greatly.
Pervy Boy has a song called Stalker Girl. The chorus goes like this:
I would do anything to ruin my life In exchange for you my precious prize Don't you try to run away There is no need to escape That's the way I want it to be
I heard that Apple has her own stalker girl, even though she said that the girl has changed her mind and is now interested in someone else. I used to have one, in secondary school. But she was nice, she just really, REALLY liked hanging out with me. It was scary. And now I shall stop talking about it because I don't want to be reminded further.
Speaking of stalkers, the person/s who tag everywhere with the prefix 'not' and someone else's name, it's creepy and I don't like it, so please stop it. Please stop using my name, other people's names, everyone's name except your own. What's wrong with using your own? You ought to be proud of your own name.

I feel like a Barbie doll, because there are so many different kinds of me.
There's Babysitter Ms Straaten! Comes with a burping blanket, kids' games and an endless supply of cartoon videos.
There's Domestic Helper Ms Straaten! Sweeps the classroom and picks up litter after her living-in-pigsty students.
There's Indefatigable (!) Marker Ms Straaten! Able to plow through stacks of essays, tests and badly-written worksheets with a single red pen.
There's Emo Ms Straaten! Accessories include black makeup, rings, a black electric guitar and a Simple Plan CD.

Yew Liang has a very interesting catchphrase: "Your mother ah!" Either that or "Don't be a bird la!" I don't know why but I find it very funny. Now I cannot stop laughing.

Oh there's Singfest on Saturday! Yes! I get to watch people like Travis and Newfound Glory (and Simple Plan? I think). Thank God people like Alicia Keys and One Republic are playing on a different day. Especially One Republic. Ugh. Whiny.

This video is for Mag (aka Eugene - Mag is short for 'magnanimous', because he kept repeating "Never mind, I'm magnanimous," and Erin said it sounded like a superhero name so I'm calling him Mag).

This is for 2N4, whom I was teaching Latin the other day.
Cool Latin Phrase To Use On Persons You Think Are Stupid:
si taquises philosiphus mansises
meaning: If you had kept your mouth shut we would have thought you were clever
