Introducing Dusty, the Dust Bunny

Dusty used to be confined to my room only. Now he's all over the house. Dusty's my pet dust bunny. Dusty has the characteristics of an amoeba. He doesn't have to make love in order to reproduce. Instead, he splits his cells and *ta-da, another dust bunny is formed. And we all know the wonderful ability and alarming speed at which normal bunnies can reproduce at, and Dusty, being a dust bunny, which is a bunny afterall, does possess these abilities. So nowadays i see these Dusty-looking dust bunnies e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. And i call out "DUSTY!" and they all rush towards me. They all seem to think that they're Dusty. But it's true, they're dusty, cause they're Dust Bunnies! Geddit? Okay i know i know.

Perhaps this is the reason why I got Gotcha-ed by the real Gotcha crew. You only know you're on Gotcha when the crew come up to you and say "Look at that camera over there!" and you turn to look at all you see is your reflection staring dumbly back at you and you realise that, hey! so that wasn't a one-way mirror after all! It is a two-way mirror!! There's a CAMERA hiding behind THAT mirror. DAMN.
Aha. actually no, you know you're on Gotcha when you're required to do something stupid and you ask yourself "am i on Gotcha?" but you still go ahead and do it anyway in hope of getting that FIFTY DOLLAR HMV VOUCHER and all you're offered at the end of being stupid on national TV is a Blood Red Umbrella which has the words "Catch Gotcha on Channel 5, Thursdays, 8pm" whereby if you carried this umbrella out on the streets it'd be screaming "HEY LOOK AT ME! I WAS DUMB ENOUGH TO BE FEATURED ON GOTCHA!!!" in bright Blood Red.

I'm a Walking Case of Influenza.

I'm down with the Real Influenza. You only know you're down with the Real Influenza when your doctor tells you " You've got the Real Influenza." Okay not really actually. My doctor told me "You've got the flu which the government has informed people to get the vaccine against, which in your case is too late." Talk about being subtle. My lovely doctor then took my temperature and went "Oh dear this is not good." Like, hello, thank you so very much but, I'm like still alive and kicking, don't make me sound like I won't make it out of your office!
But I've got like, two days MC until tuesday with which i can spend sleeping at home till my brain turns to mush. But hey don't get me wrong, i don't feel good having to swallow all those disgusting pills.

And so i was thinking. And i decided that i should be warning you people. Go get the Flu Vaccine. It's NOT NICE having the Real Influenza. My phlegm's like dirty green in colour, which is coincidentally Tofu's favourite colour. Also, the texture kinda resembles that of an oil painting. (how do i know? guess what? I've touched it! haha! been there done that!) so each time i spit i'm reminded of Tofu. And that kinda cheers me up a little.

Religious Science VS Scientific Religion.

Have you ever read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown? You know how Brown claims that religion and science can never go together? Well I've been thinking about it and perhaps it's true.
Now Christianism proposes that there is a God above us who put Man on this Earth which He created. Science proposes that Man evolved from Apes. And from the Bible we know that the first humans God put on Earth were Adam and Eve, not some hairy apes, unless Humans at that time really did look like apes which means that the illustrations in the Bible Storybook sitting in my bookcase are very wrong. Wherever did cavemen spring up from? So is it right to say that cavemen belong to Science, and do not exist in the world of Religion?
How about dinosaurs? The Bible never spoke of dinosaurs. But we know that dinosaurs existed right? or did God kill the dinosaurs so that Man could come to Earth? But God created Earth! Which means that before the creation of Earth there should not be any mention of living things and Earth. Oh No.

Actually i've been troubled by the issue of religion for the past days. To believe or not to believe that there is a God. Honestly, sometimes i see the faith some people have in their God so intense that it frightens me. It's like the way how people are so easily willing to use God as an explanation for some things they cannot explain. It's all so blurry. I guess Religion is one thing which cannot be proven. I dunno. When i'm ready to believe i will. But i guess this isn't the right time. Yeah, it does feel kinda empty inside when you've got nothing to believe in.

So many things have been happening in the past few days. An old friend of mine from the past came back to haunt me. And that really shook me up. I dunno. Common test was a total disaster and i just fell in love with Jay Chou all over again. My phone gave up on me and i attempted to pack my room. But all in all i'm still as aimless as can be.

Welcome to the Freakshow

Hello,
Othello,
Performing on the

Crying,
Trying,
Nowhere near
Succeeding.

Donny died today. Donny had wanted to go out of his snowdome, but Donny had nowhere to go to. And Donny tried too hard.
When Donny died it was peaceful and sunny outside. Donny's spirit rose up above Donny's house and banged against the glass of the snowdome. Donny's spirit tried again and again to get out of the snowdome, but it couldn't. When Donny was alive, Donny realised that too many people were getting to know about Donny. And Donny didn't like the people peering into his snowdome time and again. Donny felt like a freakshow. Donny wanted to get out of his snowdome and fly away. But Donny never could. Now, even in Death was Donny trapped in the snowdome. Now don't get Donny wrong, Donny loved his snowdome alright, but Donny was a person after all. Donny couldn't always stay in the same place could he?

And now Donny's dead.

Yesterday i was out with the mother. On the bus ride home we contemplated life. yes, take note it's not "I contemplated Life..." but it's "we contemplated Life..." Well actually I don't contemplate life, it's just that people see me frowning and they think i'm deep in thought when actually I'm just squinting a little cause I'm Short -Sighted. Aha! gotcha there! thought i was gonna say Short didn't you. But NO, I'm NOT SHORT alright. Aha! gotcha again cause I'm actually SHORT! Okay i'd admit I'm a little loony. Aha! gotcha one more time because i DO contemplate life. Right. Oh no i'm so irritating. Okay back to the mother. So it goes.
Me, "All of a sudden i'm sixteen going on seventeen."
Ma, "Yah lor yah lor, so fast hor. I still remember when you were small, the very first time you stood up by yourself, you were so happy."
"hmm. really? I can't really remember much of that."
"yah, and when you were in primary school you used to smile alot. The old lady downstairs always told me that you made her happy cause you were always smiling. wish you were a kid don't you. No troubles and worries and all."
I nodded. yeah, that's true isn't it? i say. And the mother looks so much older now.
And aha! gotcha one last time! we weren't contemplating life, we were thinking back on it!! bahaha. okay. I shall just grow up and like get a life.

Damned RatRace.

I was supposed to collect my O level certificate with the 4L dudes today. (oh no, now you know my education level! ack.) As usual, i left my house late, and therefore i expected to be the last one to arrive. At the train station, i sent a message to one of them, saying that i'll be late. okay actually i was already late, but in case they thought i died on the way i decided to sent a message to them. Almost immediately i got a call from the friend telling me not to leave the house, saying that she was at home, and that another friend was also at home, and that one friend had soccer, and that the other's grandfather passed away (my condolences), and the last one had training. Great. Just Great. Why wasn't i informed earlier? how ironic. just when i actually get down to putting time away for them 4L they had to stand me up. it was usually me who couldn't find time for them. ah well. i guess that's what they call karma. So i had to trudge home from the station. Sad and lonely me.

Today Donny had fun in his snow dome. As usual Donny's house was turned topsy-turvy for a moment and snow was swirling outside. Donny reached out of the window and caught a handful of sunlight shining through the snow. Donny put the handful of sunlight in a jam jar to see Donny through the day.

Last night was such a tragic night. Alegria was showing on Arts Central. Those who watched it please raise your hand. Good. I thought it was a fine show though i only caught the 2nd half (the mother was watching some hongkong serial). sigh. and Fraz put up such a fine performance. And the show brought so many messages across. It was really touching. And i cried and cried.(well, maybe i was crying for the fact that i missed the first half. But seriously the show was really touching) oh no. i tell you i've never cried so much while watching a show before. it was superb. Okay so the story goes, this clown Fraz, fell in love with the daughter of the ring master of Cirque de Soleil (meaning circus of the sun or something like that). This daughter of his also performs in the circus. Her father doesn't approve of them being together. and yes, there's really more to the show. And it's all really sweet. gosh. i really want to watch it again. yes. Fraz reminds me of HIM. you know, that Hot Irish Man? yes.

" I'm in love with you. How're you feeling right now?"
" I'm happy, yet I'm sad."
" That's when you're in love."
And i cried. All the above takes place amidst the circus acrobats doing their act. gosh. it's all so romantic. And I so love it. And it's so inspiring. ack. i'm rambling. it's really cute and all. sigh. i wish i could watch it again. I woke up this morning with puffy eyes. You know how you only wake up in the morning with puffy eyes when you've been crying alot the night before? yes. that's what happened to me. sigh. What a wonderful show.

Talking about HIM, I watched Twelfth Night a second time and he was hotter then ever. sigh. And i got his autograph and he kept the hearts we made for him. sigh. During group picture time, HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME!!!!!!!! OH I ALMOST DIED. I yelped and he's like " oh, what did i do!" jokingly. haha. good god. he's just so cute. Sigh. I'm gonna go for EVERY ONE of his productions in future. sigh. life's good when hot people exist.

Donny's sky was dark today. Donny loved his snow dome, but Donny wished there were other people living near Donny. Rats. Donny didn't even have cats near his house. Poor, Lonely Donny. If only Donny's toboggan could take Donny out of the snow dome. But then again, Donny's toboggan wouldn't work outside snow would it? Donny's love was starting to waver.
