the loudest cat??

2011-04-24T19:50:00.001+08:00

this household is definitely noisy!

Is this the loudest cat in the world? Meet Smokey whose purr is as noisy as a Boeing 737

For cat lovers, there is nothing more soothing than the sound of their pet purring with contentment.

But when Smokey kicks off, it’s time to reach for the ear plugs.

The sound she produces can reach an incredible 92 decibels – the same as you’d experience watching a Boeing 737 coming in to land.

3) POKING HOLES IN SOFAS

POKES POKES* do i need to say more? this is even lagi better den bubble wraps

4) PRACTICE GUERRILLA TACTICS

biosss

although not always tactical, but i always try my very best. newspapers never fail to be a good decoy. i can always pretend to read them.

hamburger! with me in the middle.

let me take a nap first. *you may go back to point 1 about sleeping*

hmm. my tail is an antenna that receives signals. machiam sonar dropped from helis.

5) I HATE RUBBER BANDS

i stand by hole

8) CARDBOARD BOXES? I LIKE.

same with all other cats, i am suckers for cardboard box and confined places. but i am not as dumb as maru who ll jump into the box himself. i was carried and placed in the box. who bothers to jump when there s someone to carry u?

meow?

i cant really move. my bulging tummy from overeating recently is making the box really tight!

my eyes are round right?

looks like a good corner to lie my head to take a nap?

there s smth in the box! eh. that s my shadow.

flips to the other corner to catch shadow!!

9) SLEEP.

new box!!!

i am just resting for a while. not sleeping technically.

just closing my eyes. not sleeping technically.

10) ACT CUTE.

an essential part of my life. cant live one day without acting cute.

11) SLEEP.

shiok!

who ask her dun let me go into MY house. revenge by sleeping on her crocs.

wakeyyy!

13) BEG FOR FOOD.

this is my specialization. no one can beat me in this! if ur door is not opened, your lights are not on, i ll meow until u open door and switch on light. if u dun feel me, i ll meow until i get food and fresh water.

power right!!! works best at 6.30am. occasionally effective at 3am.

14) MY LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH PAPA (JIEJIE'S DADDY)

papa:"what are u looking at?"
nmm:"dun disturb me"

papa:"let me pei u"
nmm:"sui bian"

nmm:"u sure u wanna pei me do guard duty?"
papa:"ya!"

nmm:"okie lets do it tgt!"

ahh restaurants touts. they speak to me in korean i also dun understand. occasionally "ni hao maaa" (still better den sawadeekar HAHAHA cant believe that girl in lotte world did tat to me). maybe dardar got a jap face cos they started throwing their jap phrases at him.

super gigantic fish market. all fresh from sea and some still super alive and kicking lo! it s so big! maybe 2 to 3 times the size of vivo?

indoors too!

lorry full!

fishing boats that brings in a good supply of fishes into this markets!

after studying the menu for the longest time, we have no idea what they sell.

so the helpful store lady brought dardar out to

point point point and kilikulu the fishes/dishes to him

and dardar relayed the msg back to me (i dunno what that means)

den finally a lady sitting at a table next to us beh loon (cant tahan) one chicken one duck for so long, spoke to us in perfect english. she recommended what her family is having.

somehow we managed to squeeze the luggages at the top rack. but it was a scary ride cos we are q scared that the luggages ll fall onto us :(

it is mandatory to stop by lotte mart to stock up on korean food before returning home!

super tourist friendly cos they ll take care of your luggages for you!

this photo brought tears to my eyes siaaa! just when we were abt to leave seoul station for the airport, we found that we are short of 200 won. 200 WON NIA LEH! TMD! 200 won is like 20 cents?! wa lao! i sing also can get 20 cents la! FAINTED. we couldnt get our tickets cos we are short of 200 won. (thinking the day before dardar still happily emptied all our coins to the homeless guy at the mrt station) hahaha! so dardar ran to find the money exchanger with 10usd in hand and i was squatting at the station worried that we will miss our flight T.T

of cos we made it laaa

Inspiring grad speech.

2010-08-08T23:08:00.004+08:00

not like those in NUS. all sounded THE SAME. follow template one. totally no content. this is what i feel is a good grad speech. and she just graduated from high school, not college. now i see the difference between my degree versus theirs.

Last month, Erica Goldson graduated as valedictorian of Coxsackie-Athens High School. Instead of using her graduation speech to celebrate the triumph of her victory, the school, and the teachers that made it happen, she channeled her inner Ivan Illich and de-constructed the logic of a valedictorian and the whole educational system.

Erica originally posted her full speech on Sign of the Times, and without need for editing or cutting, here's the speech in its entirety:

Here I stand

There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, "If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years . ." The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast -- How long then?" Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years." "But, if I really, really work at it, how long then?" asked the student. "Thirty years," replied the Master. "But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?" Replied the Master, "When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path."

This is the dilemma I've faced within the American education system. We are so focused on a goal, whether it be passing a test, or graduating as first in the class. However, in this way, we do not really learn. We do whatever it takes to achieve our original objective.

Some of you may be thinking, "Well, if you pass a test, or become valedictorian, didn't you learn something? Well, yes, you learned something, but not all that you could have. Perhaps, you only learned how to memorize names, places, and dates to later on forget in order to clear your mind for the next test. School is not all that it can be. Right now, it is a place for most people to determine that their goal is to get out as soon as possible.

I am now accomplishing that goal. I am graduating. I should look at this as a positive experience, especially being at the top of my class. However, in retrospect, I cannot say that I am any more intelligent than my peers. I can attest that I am only the best at doing what I am told and working the system. Yet, here I stand, and I am supposed to be proud that I have completed this period of indoctrination. I will leave in the fall to go on to the next phase expected of me, in order to receive a paper document that certifies that I am capable of work. But I contest that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer - not a worker. A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition - a slave of the system set up before him. But now, I have successfully shown that I was the best slave. I did what I was told to the extreme. While others sat in class and doodled to later become great artists, I sat in class to take notes and become a great test-taker. While others would come to class without their homework done because they were reading about an interest of theirs, I never missed an assignment. While others were creating music and writing lyrics, I decided to do extra credit, even though I never needed it. So, I wonder, why did I even want this position? Sure, I earned it, but what will come of it? When I leave educational institutionalism, will I be successful or forever lost? I have no clue about what I want to do with my life; I have no interests because I saw every subject of study as work, and I excelled at every subject just for the purpose of excelling, not learning. And quite frankly, now I'm scared.

John Taylor Gatto, a retired school teacher and activist critical of compulsory schooling, asserts, "We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness - curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then. But we don't do that." Between these cinderblock walls, we are all expected to be the same. We are trained to ace every standardized test, and those who deviate and see light through a different lens are worthless to the scheme of public education, and therefore viewed with contempt.

H. L. Mencken wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not "to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ... Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim ... is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States."

To illustrate this idea, doesn't it perturb you to learn about the idea of "critical thinking." Is there really such a thing as "uncritically thinking?" To think is to process information in order to form an opinion. But if we are not critical when processing this information, are we really thinking? Or are we mindlessly accepting other opinions as truth?

This was happening to me, and if it wasn't for the rare occurrence of an avant-garde tenth grade English teacher, Donna Bryan, who allowed me to open my mind and ask questions before accepting textbook doctrine, I would have been doomed. I am now enlightened, but my mind still feels disabled. I must retrain myself and constantly remember how insane this ostensibly sane place really is.

And now here I am in a world guided by fear, a world suppressing the uniqueness that lies inside each of us, a world where we can either acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of corporatism and materialism or insist on change. We are not enlivened by an educational system that clandestinely sets us up for jobs that could be automated, for work that need not be done, for enslavement without fervency for meaningful achievement. We have no choices in life when money is our motivational force. Our motivational force ought to be passion, but this is lost from the moment we step into a system that trains us, rather than inspires us.

We are more than robotic bookshelves, conditioned to blurt out facts we were taught in school. We are all very special, every human on this planet is so special, so aren't we all deserving of something better, of using our minds for innovation, rather than memorization, for creativity, rather than futile activity, for rumination rather than stagnation? We are not here to get a degree, to then get a job, so we can consume industry-approved placation after placation. There is more, and more still.

The saddest part is that the majority of students don't have the opportunity to reflect as I did. The majority of students are put through the same brainwashing techniques in order to create a complacent labor force working in the interests of large corporations and secretive government, and worst of all, they are completely unaware of it. I will never be able to turn back these 18 years. I can't run away to another country with an education system meant to enlighten rather than condition. This part of my life is over, and I want to make sure that no other child will have his or her potential suppressed by powers meant to exploit and control. We are human beings. We are thinkers, dreamers, explorers, artists, writers, engineers. We are anything we want to be - but only if we have an educational system that supports us rather than holds us down. A tree can grow, but only if its roots are given a healthy foundation.

For those of you out there that must continue to sit in desks and yield to the authoritarian ideologies of instructors, do not be disheartened. You still have the opportunity to stand up, ask questions, be critical, and create your own perspective. Demand a setting that will provide you with intellectual capabilities that allow you to expand your mind instead of directing it. Demand that you be interested in class. Demand that the excuse, "You have to learn this for the test" is not good enough for you. Education is an excellent tool, if used properly, but focus more on learning rather than getting good grades.

For those of you that work within the system that I am condemning, I do not mean to insult; I intend to motivate. You have the power to change the incompetencies of this system. I know that you did not become a teacher or administrator to see your students bored. You cannot accept the authority of the governing bodies that tell you what to teach, how to teach it, and that you will be punished if you do not comply. Our potential is at stake.

For those of you that are now leaving this establishment, I say, do not forget what went on in these classrooms. Do not abandon those that come after you. We are the new future and we are not going to let tradition stand. We will break down the walls of corruption to let a garden of knowledge grow throughout America. Once educated properly, we will have the power to do anything, and best of all, we will only use that power for good, for we will be cultivated and wise. We will not accept anything at face value. We will ask questions, and we will demand truth.

So, here I stand. I am not standing here as valedictorian by myself. I was molded by my environment, by all of my peers who are sitting here watching me. I couldn't have accomplished this without all of you. It was all of you who truly made me the person I am today. It was all of you who were my competition, yet my backbone. In that way, we are all valedictorians.

I am now supposed to say farewell to this institution, those who maintain it, and those who stand with me and behind me, but I hope this farewell is more of a "see you later" when we are all working together to rear a pedagogic movement. But first, let's go get those pieces of paper that tell us that we're smart enough to do so!
