To avoid my blog lapsing into mere regurgitation of one-liners very intelligently spouted by my friends, I shall indulge in reflection-
ZK: "You're just prowling around looking for good funny quotes for your blog."
In case anyone was wondering, it's true. But in mitigation, it leaves you with some really good memories! I mean. Would you rather remember Donne's sonnets, or the below-recounted PC lesson. Or. CLAO lesson, or us with our rudimentary piecemeal Canto trying to put together Serene's Cantonese name? [Haha now -that- is a no-brainer.]
Notice that ZK used the words "good" and "funny". To describe the quotes that appear on my blog. By extension, Chengwei, Sheryl, Zhuang, Eng Siang and everyone else: You are good and funny. Ya better buh-leeve it!
I don't really know what ZK meant by "good", since ES and ZH have evidently descended into the abyss of corruption and moral decadence since their recent returns from angmoh-land. Note the ubiquity of "f***"s in class now that ZH's around, and read Pet's blog for ES' claims to, uh, growth spurts ;)
This could be my longest remotely-sensible piece yet!
And to prove that all these quotes are not posted here to make anyone seem unnecessarily foolish, here's one o'mine, made in a moment of intellectual lapse-
Me, on realising we had to walk from Thomson Plaza to the bus-stop: "You mean we have to walk there?"
ES, sniggering: "Then? You want to fly there is it?"
-_- Who missed him when he was in Bremen, man >.<
It just occured to me that ES never looks stupid. Except in photographs=]
@7:44 AM
A sonnet by any other name. =D
P*actical C*iticism (not spelt out in full in case Estelle goes ballistic) lesson today was fun!
ES, on given poems: "What's a sonnet?"
KL & ES, almost immediately after: "So what if the poems are sonnets?"
[Mr Perry is suitably baffled here]
Joel, brightly: "Sonnets are things that Shakespeare wrote!"
Andre, intelligently: "Sonnets are like haikus. They both have fixed... somethings."
Mr Perry, delighted that we are finally making headway into lesson: "Very good Andre! Fixed... what?"
Andre: "It's like football. 4-4-2."
Mr Perry, disparagingly at ES: "Don't you remember that John Donne wrote sonnets? Those short poems?"
ES, enlightened: "OH. You mean THOSE are sonnets."
Mr Perry: "They're called Holy Sonnets for a reason. Why do you think they weren't called Holy Short-Poems?"
Someone else: "What does it mean if someone wrote a sonnet?"
ES, sniggering: "He was running out of paper?"
