the paper today had an article on blogging. and the reporter recommended a blog which he said was damn funny. i just went to check it out.
very unfunny.
and the post i read was full of emotional but flawed arguments. i felt like rebutting, but not as wu liao as that. esp since she doesn't look like one who'll engage in intellectual debate. besides the pple who posted comments all agreed whole-heartedly with her weird line of thought. that makes 67 emotional, not very clear headed pple.
couldn't get further than the 2nd post. i absolutely think linnet's blog is much funnier and entertaining.
flashmob just had a mob on saturday. i was so excited when i first heard about it and was raring to join. but their gigs are pretty dumb and not funny. like freezing in the middle of city hall, and the recent one where they all took pictures in the wisma underpass.
ok it's not all that dumb, but it's not hilarious. the ones in US were really funny. can't remember specific examples, but i was giggling away reading their exploits. one was about some city hosting an arms (like weapons) exhibition, and a bunch of them started approaching pple attending the exhibition to buy arms, like prosthetic arms. So they were wearing matrix like suits and carrying suitcases labelled "i'm armed" or "wanna buy arms?" and inside the suitcase were the fake arms.
one time they pasted notices on train doors -- "do not rush, doors close when excited."
that's originality. that's humor. not freezing in city link mall then later complaining that singaporeans are a dull lot because they dun care. i wouldn't care i think if i walked by. what's there to care? or smile abt? i would think it's just another silly orientation dare.
to make matters worse, the flash mob founder once blasted all the sleeping members in the yahoogroups for not taking part. it's along the lines of "join in or get out". Bushism. i was irked enough to post a reply, explaning why pple shld be allowed to do what they want. he had the cheek to delete my post. so much for democracy.
i'm still inside by the way. wanna check out what they do in future mob events and hopefully one day they'll raise the standard of creativity and excite me. even if they dun, as a sleeping member i'm probably annoying the moderator so earth to all.
the fish cafe wasn't as good as i thought it would be. well it was a good atmosphere to chill, the people and bosses there are all friendly and outgoing. but the place is sabotaged by venue and space. it's located in ulu bt batok, in some damn bloody ulu road flanked by private houses.
the place was too small to perform in too. a stage would have been nice.
oh well. dun regret making the hour long trip (plus another 10 min bus ride from bt batok mrt), would have wanted to check it out.
it was a gd brainstorming session today. memorable moments:
"but some pple are just too spastic to pick up juggling"
"let's create a spastic corner and dump them there"
"why not we name ourselves non-verbally with a symbol. You can't read out our name, you have to draw it out in the air."
"so we tell clients 'we come from [draw], and what [draw] offers is a comprehensive package of blah blah'"
"the mind map looks very lopsided and the only thing i can read is the big money sign in the middle"
at the prata place:
"can i have 2 splatter"
[everyone frowns thinking hard what splatter is.
the indian waiter frowns thinking hard when in the history of roti prata "splatter" came in. maybe he shld consult his grandfather and the bible of prata]
"oops, i mean plaster. 2 plaster"
weips' tissue prata was one hell of a mountain.
we went to some void deck after to juggle a bit. siyong did his fire staff and we did some fire palms/manipulation. also did some club passing with minjiang until the lights went out at the study corner.
weips and i had more ideas for our videos. "the fire/hazeline commercial", the "EZ link on my butt" clip.
it's all pretty cool.
