So Apropos
Saw death on a sunny snow
For every life, forego the parable.
Seek the light, my knees are cold.
(Running home, running home)
Go find another lover;
To bring and- to string along.
With all your lies, you're still very lovable.
I toured the light, so many foreign roads
For Emma, forever ago.
about art.
Art is what you can get away with.

geek-o-mania
It took me awhile to decide whether I should be blogging this, mostly because its super embarrassing and partly because I think people would think I've got nothing better to do. Which is quite true. And if my friends don't know that I am a geek (and consider disowning me because of this blogpost) then I question our friendship.

30 WAYS THAT I AM GEEKY.
1. I quote Shakespeare (I still remember the whole inscription in the gold chest in merchant of Venice)
2. I think Rube Goldberg Machines are awesome and may one day make my own.
3. I like reading comics
4. I like reading webcomics (which is like computer geek and comic geek mixed together)
5. I know the difference between DC and Marvel, and the relationship between DC and Vertigo.
6. I know what that big silver hammer at the end of Iron Man 2 meant. I also know who Tony Stark marries.
7. I like indie music partly because no one else really listens to them.
8. I like dating guys who are bigger geeks than I am – if they’re too normal I’m not interested.
9. When I found Kings of Convenience on Spencer’s iPod I knew he was the one.
10. I know how to stalk people on the internet (relax, I don't do it)
11. I hate movies for ruining books, like The Lovely Bones (my favourite book in the world from 4 years ago) and Harry Potter (so sue me).
12. I can have an intellectual conversation about the depth of characterization in Harry Potter, and bloody quote it (I’m sorry).
13. I used to write fanfiction.
14. I know what PotC, LotR, canon, fanon and Mary Sue means.
15. I write stories, both short and long.
16. I learnt to draw from anime.
17. I have a favourite anime (Ruroini Kenshin, because of the references to history, like the ill treatment of Christians in Japan during the Meiji period. )
18. I like math.
19. This holiday I took English classes instead of getting a job.
20. I read wikihow.
21. I am an iPhone user whose favourite app is my TED feed.
22. I can read Sophie’s World leisurely.
23. I know what ecriture feminine means, and not because of literature class.
24. A few hours before my Economics Alevel exam, Joel Tay and I were having a conversation about the economic value of monkeys. That is the reason why we’re friends.
25. O RLY?
26. I love script-o-rama because it allows me to quote large chunks of my favourite movies. I used to be able to do the whole PotC.
27. Passionate kooky college lecturer is my dream job.
28. I know the philosophical value of Winnie the Pooh.
29. I know how annoying a mudkip can be. YA RLY.
30. I’m talking about all this shit like you know what I’m talking about.


Most of it is referred against this article here. Which in itself is quite geeky too.

I told spencer that I was writing this post and he asked me to do one for him too. Since I am lazy I shall only do five.

5 REASONS WHY SPENCER ONG IS A BIGGER GEEK THAN ME.
1. He can tell you which countries are the ones with red, blue and white flags (most of them), and tell them apart from the countries with only two of the three colours.
2. He can hear a song playing in a mall, CD shop, movie, obscure indie radio station – WHEREVER – and still be able to say “hey I have that song.” This is because he has a music library slowly reaching fifteen thousand songs ranging from Chopin to Avenged Sevenfold to Damien Rice.
3. He knows strange things to a large extent, like where each kind of tea usually comes from and how they’re harvested, different breeds of fishes, how catfishes fertilize their eggs, all the presidents of Singapore...
4. He knows all about the Cold War, and never took a history class on it.
5. He has all the episodes of Avatar: the Last Airbender the cartoon in his harddrive.


And that is why I love him.
