Random depression

The weather is something that affects my mood greatly.

Like now, as I'm looking out the window, I get depressed when I see the hot 420pm sun shining down, with all its stuffiness and humidity. I get even more depressed when I look down at my law notes. Notes that I should be studying right this minute.

I just learnt that provocation is a valid defence for murder. Not a TOTAL defence, you still have to go to jail for a very very very long time. You're just spared the noose.

But that also means that if you provoke someone, and that someone kills you in the heat of the moment, the court doesn't consider him or her a murderer.

Do you know that most of the provocation cases I've read so far are about men killing their wives, girlfriends and even ex-girlfriends?

I read about this man who killed his young wife because she gave him a "talk to the hand" gesture. It's apparently some kind of big taboo in their tribe for a woman to do that to her husband. *shrugs*

Then there was another man, who after killing his ex-girlfriend in the heat of the moment, decided to run off to the rooftop of one HDB flat, and tried to commit suicide. He first decided to try drowning himself in the water tank, but later discovered it was too shallow. Undeterred, he decided to try hanging himself from the top of the top of the water tank with his belt. But the belt broke or something. Then, still trying to die, he proceeded to accumulate courage to jump the building. His courage never came. The police did.

When love turns sour, and the law steps in.

A mockery is made of the sweetness, excitement and anticipation one used to feel, when one looks into the eyes of the other.

Told you I felt depressed.

A friend of mine recently saw a picture of me, taken 2 years ago.

She took one look at me, and told me, "You're lucky u grew up."

I didn't know whether to feel insulted or complimented.

Oh well...

Survival Skills

A friend of mine recently gave me some advice, relating to survival skills in the forest.

We were talking about snakes.(You would probably like to know how we got to the subject. Let me tell you... I forgot *shrugs*)

We were talking and talking, when I decided to ask him, "So what should one do if one meets a python in the forest?" I didn't really expect to hear anything encouraging. Afterall, my own answer to that question is to say my prayer and prepare to die.

BUT, to my big surprise, he turned to me with this really serious expression on his face and said, "Janice, listen very carefully to what I'm gonna say to you, it may save your life one day."

I stopped smiling and got serious. I mean, did u hear what the man saY?! IT's gonna save MY life one day!!!

After making sure I was staring very hard at him, he continued, "The first thing you should do is to lie down."

My eyebrows rose, but I nodded as I took notes.

"Then, you must lie very very still as the python slithers towards you."

I stopped writing.

"Then you must let the python swallow you up to your thigh area. REMEMBER! You must make sure not to move at ALL as the python is swallowing you"

My eyebrows rose even higher as I now started to gap at him.

"Then, once the python has swallowed you up to your thighs, take our your swiss army knife and slit it open from inside." He finally finished.

Aside from acknowledging that the above was the least likely to be followed advice I have ever heard in ALL my 19 years, I had one more question, "What if I don't have a swiss army knife with me?"

He looked at me as if I'm an idiot, "Then don't go into the forest."

Now why didn't I think of that...

Today is Chinese New Year's eve.

I am Chinese.

I am sitting at my desk, in front of my computer, blogging.

I have a 1500-word memorandum to finish.

By 1159pm tonight.

That is all I have to say.

I was bored.

I didn't feel like studying...

So guess what I did? :p



lol...I'm becoming a bimbo...oh well..

NARUTOOOOOO!!!!!

When my kid sister first started talking about some show called "Naruto", I thought it was another lame kiddy japanese anime.

I even went so far as to scoff and laugh at my 18 year old sister, who was addicted to this show that seemed incredibly childish to me. What with its strong ninja flavour, and element of good vs evil. Not to mention the fact that MOST of the main characters were 12 years old.

I am being punished for my arrogance and mock sophistication.

I made the mistake of watching one 20 minute episode with my sister. Just for the fun of it you know *shrugs*. And I was hooked.

I started racing through all the episodes that my sister had managed to borrow from her friend. I watched an average of 25 epsiodes in one day. Waking up early in the morning, sleeping late into the night, and muching on just bread and biscuits for meals since cooking takes up valuable TIME!! (If you're wondering, I was having my hols then)

Anywae, the point is, my speed of watching became about like at least 10 times faster than that of my sister's. And since she would only borrow the next batch of Naruto after she has finished what she has presently, and since she is presently buried neck deep in projects now, and since she refuses to watch abit faster(How INCONSIDERATE right!! Honestly!), I am stuck at episode 90.

I have considered downloading from the internet. But there's two problems:
1) The time for dl one small episode is ridiculously long. Like almost one day!!
2) After watching all those news where people get caught and fined for dl stuff, I simply can't bring myself to try the law. Call me a coward, whatever.

SO now I have no avenues to turn to. And no where to vent my frustration other than right here on my blog. And that is why today's post is called, "NARUTOOOOOO!!!!!"

I have been leered at, whistled at and even approached POLITELY by men(and boys alike) in all my 19 years thus far.

BUT, never EVER, have I been showed "appreciation" in the manner I have had today.

I was minding my own business and walking home from the bus-stop, when as I crossed the road, this MAN riding a BICYCLE, rode towards me.

And when his bicycle passed by me, he yelled at me, "I like to lick your ass!"

And then he cycled away.(For some strange reason, I found the cycling bit very comical.)

At that point in time, I didn't react immediately for 3 reasons:
1) I was listening to my ipod then, so I wasn't sure I had heard rightly at that point in time.
2) I was trying to recall from all my law school readings whether or not what the guy just did constituted sexual harrassment.
3) I honestly had no idea how to react. Should I swear at him? How bout wave my fist at him? How bout kicking his bicycle off balance, then when he falls to the ground, proceed to stomp him in the groin? (I personally like the third)

But all that is beside the point. The main question bugging me is: What in the world is that MAN expecting when he did what he did, coming up to me like that?

Does he expect me to punch him? To blush? To swear at him? To haul him to the police station? Or even to say, "Come on and lick baby.."??

I mean, SERIOUSLY, what in the world are you expecting to hear or get that will pleasure u, you SICKO LOSER, PSYCHOTIC PERVERT!!!!

I have one advice for you.

Get a LIFE and a DOCTOR FOR THAT MATTER!!!!!
