Wordplay

Wakidjan begitu terpesonanya dengan permainan piano Nadine.
Sambil bertepuk tangan, ia berteriak, “Not a play! Not a play!”
Nadine bengong. “Not a play?”
“Yes. Not a play. Bukan main.”
Tukidjo yang menemani Wakidjan terperangah. “Bukan main itu bukan not a play, Djan.”
“Your granny (Mbahmu). Humanly I have check my dictionary kok.(Orang saya sudah periksa di kamus kok)”

Lalu berpaling ke Nadine. “Lady, let’s corner (Mojok yuk).
But don’t think that are nots (Jangan berpikir yang bukan-bukan). I just want a meal together.”
“Ngaco kamu, Djan,” Tukidjo tambah gemes.
“Don’t be surplus (Jangan berlebihan), Djo. Be wrong a little is OK toch.?”
Nadine cuman senyum kecil. “I would love to, but …”
“Sorry if my friend make you not delicious (Maaf kalau teman saya bikin kamu jadi nggak enak)” sambut Wakidjan ramah.
“Different river, maybe (Lain kali barangkali). I will not be various kok (Saya nggak akan macam-macam kok).”

Setelah Nadine pergi, Wakidjan menatap Tukidjo dengan sebal.
“Disturbing aja sih, Djo. Does the language belong to your ancestor (Emang itu bahasa punya moyang lu)?”

Tukidjo cari kalimat penutup. “Just itchy Djan, because you speak English as delicious as your belly button.”
(Gatel aja, Djan, soalnya kamu ngomong Inggris seenak udelmu dewe).

Wakidjan cuman bisa merutuk dalam hati, “His name is also effort.” (Namanya juga usaha)

What's not to love?

Cheerleader

Okay I just finished watching I Love You, Beth Cooper. You know, the usual teenage light comedy. So there's this academically over-achieving geek -why must it always be geeks?- openly confessing his love to Beth Cooper, the head cheerleader. Corny, I know, but I did hear a fun conversation:

A: You know where she lives, go to her house, bring a boom box and wait for her
B: That's stalking.
A: No, it's not stalking if you love the person.

A: You can grab her and throw her in the car, and take her someplace
B: That's kidnapping.
A: That's romantic

Thin line between lover and stalker?

Anyways, I thought Beth Cooper is kinda charming here, my typical cheerleader type. According to my convo with jebay the other night, cheerleader type is cheerful, popular, prominent, cute, attention seeker, a talker, and unbelievably selfish. I'm starting to sound like Barney, categorizing girls and all, but oh well, apparently I find that attractive.

The best part, is that Beth Cooper is named after a KISS song, titled Beth, which is just awesome.

And okay, back to work. Or maybe another movie, The Ugly Truth perhaps.

Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh, Beth what can I do

Nerdherd

Okay I'm bored.

Thanks to ICN choir meeting I couldn't go out to, say, play LAN games with aton. Or thanks to Union Day meeting yesterday, couldn't go out Julian's. Or whatever, I've been trapped in NTU for 2 weeks now! Not a very entertaining way to save up on transport cost, believe you me.

I observed something about NTU students - well, most of them-, they rarely go out. Granted, everything is provided here in this small suburban university, but I still think this is kinda depressing. So, anyone wanna go out? It sounds lame that I'm asking in this blog.

Anyways I find this cool video by MJC maths teacher, bidding their students farewell and good luck for A level. I showed it to my friend, and his comment was "Whoa, I didn't know maths students are nerdy"

My response, "Are you kidding? We are like one of the most powerful aristocrats in the pyramid of nerdiness"

Seriously, you throw one stone in my Maths lecture, you'll have a good chance to hit TWO geeky-looking students, especially if you throw the stone to the front. Maybe we should play a game next time in lecture, like Hit The Geeks. If the stone/ball bounces off two nerds, you get a point, and if it bounces three nerds, extra point, or something.

Okay some points here are exaggerated.

But just for fun, let's test how nerdy you are! click here

Here's mine:

Your Score Summary

Overall, you scored as follows:

34% scored higher (more nerdy),
2% scored the same, and
64% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Low Ranking Nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds.

So, I am definitely a nerd? whoa.

signed sealed delivered, I'm yours

The Sexless Innkeeper Part 2

And this is how Ted prove Barney wrong. The 1800s style poems are fantastic!

The Sexless Innkeeper (Ted)

‘Twas the night before this one
I had hours to kill
I sat in the tavern
grading parchments with quill

A busty young lassie
flashed me a grin
Her garb said classy
but her eyes whispered sin

She said, “you’re a teacher?”
I said, “yes indeed.”
“I must have you,” she moaned.
“I’m turned on by tweed!”

With haste we did scamper
to my chamber anon
Fell to the couch
and, bro, it was on.

I unlaced her bodice
our passions grew deeper
and thus ends the tale
of the sexless innkeeper.

The Sexless Innkeeper Part 1

It's just awesome poem by whoever wrote the script in How I Met Your Mother. This is how Barney explain to Ted how girls only seduce him for a place to crash -without sex.

The Sexless Innkeeper (Barney)

‘Twas the night before New Years
and the weather grew mean
It was three in the morning
and I was stranded in Queens!

The tavern grew empty
the gaslights grew dim
the horse-drawn carriages
were all but snowed in.

Last call was approaching
and my fortunes looked bleak
then I turned to my left
and stifled a shriek.

She had a peach fuzz beard
and weighed sixteen stone
She gobbled up hot wings
and swallowed the bones.

I muffled a scream
and threw up in my mouth
I asked, “where do you live?”
and she said, “one block south.”

I swallowed my pride
and six shots of whiskey
and prayed to the gods
that she wasn’t too frisky

Back in her cave
She prepared us a snack
‘neath her mighty hooves
the floorboards did crack.

But when she returned
she found a sound sleeper
and thus she became
the sexless innkeeper.

Rendezvous

Back from wilderness.

I'm really gonna sue Yesman The Movie, you know, where they encourages people to say yes to basically anything and everything that comes to them. And look what I end up doing, I have in total of 27 Hall points for my ECA, too bad they are not cumulative.

Seriously, this is borderline idiotic:

• NTU Choir Section Leader/ Camp Programmer/ Concert Choreographer
• Union Day Main Programmer
• Inverse Newspaper Layout Editor
• ICN Band/ Choir IC

And three maths quizzes and two 2000-word econs report really just made my days.
Okay I shouldn't complain, cause I still have my weekly 10 series :)

On a lighter note, I finally finish all my midterm exam!
Granted, it didn't go really well with all the panicky last-minute studying:

• MAS211 was okay, just that I think I forgot to prove that function is decreasing.
• MAS213 was hell-ish, but the sight of people being stressed around me cheered me up.
• MAS215 was fine, apparently memorizing works for probability too.

Whatever, it's over!
36 days more to exams, hope my study mood will grow back again later.

But for now, let me enjoy this long weekend with Halo 2 and NFSU 2.

I'm walking on sunshine
I can see your halo
