It dawned upon me that my blog title is unfitting since I'm a downright rambling nerd. It is no longer my alter ego. Maybe, then, I was pretending to be an intellectual introvert. Which is so wrong.
Nonetheless, not changing it yet, till a better name comes along. There are plenty of them, so choice plagues me now.
Someone is going to start a "Political Awareness Club" in school and as politically-enthusiastic individuals, we were targeted. I left my name, just curious. Curious whether they had the capacity to convince me. But, I think not and I hope not. I still love the kind of cosy discussions I engage in with random individuals. Something so on purpose is not for me. But still, I left my name. Still.
Seminars and discussions sounded boring. The man did not look intelligent nor sound intelligent. Instead, he came across as desperate. for attention?
But he mentioned Cherian George. And Prof Ho did too, today. So many oral citation counts. "Publish or Perish", says Intan.
Ignore the gibberish.
I was going to blog in Hokkien. So I am going to blog in Hokkien. From now. now.
Wa si hokkien lang. Wa hi bang wu zi jit, wa eh sai yong Hokkien sia gua, sia poem. Yin wee Wa si hokkien lang. Gin jit xi gang bo gao, wa ai ki kua bai fen bai, mai ga li nang gong ah ni zue. Gong ah ni zue li nang ma mng zai wa lo gong si mi.
kua si mi kua. li go kua wa poke li eh bak jiu ah!
(Translation: I am Hokkien. I wish that there would be a day when I can write Hokkien songs and poems, because I'm Hokkien. Today I do not have enough time, I need to watch Entertainment 100% aka 娱乐百分百. Don't say so much. Say so much you also don't know what I talking about.
See what see. Still see I poke your eyes ah!)
On a side note, here's a photo essay by NYT worthy of your 5 minutes:
