Prologue

I found this picture in my microSD card just now. It was kinda cool. This is what everyone called as the "Retarded Spasm face" deshou ka~ (right??). Yeah, i was already a camwhore long time ago..
Tag activity has died down lately. Maybe my posts are too long so no one except myself have the interest and the ability and the attention span to finish reading them.
Today's post is not about C, because i will get to see her later in school for the very last time, though not in the classroom, at the Farewell assembly.
I recalled yesterday that i wrote on Qiyuan's paper at the mini-game yesterday that he is a "Devil's Advocate".
(Devil's Advocate means One who argues against a cause or position, not as a committed opponent but simply for the sake of argument and a good conversation with someone.)
Of course there are reasons why i wrote that. There is an argument that i failed to complete with Qiyuan because of lack of opportunities.
His stand was "EH, Jack-san why are you forgetting your roots?" He said that when i corrected someone ( i think is the harajuku stuff ) that the "R" syllable will sound like "L" in japanese and there is no vocal difference.
So, does getting to know another language , does listening ( and singing) to Japanese songs, does watching Japanese anime, does cosplaying, meant that i am forgetting that i am a Chinese??
So, we shouldn't talk to and get to know Indians ( a.k.a. THOMMAN !!) because we'll be forgetting our roots then? So we shouldn't celebrate racial harmony day since we are chinese? Then, there is the plan by Ministry of Education (MOE) to teach Malay/Chinese as 3rd language. So Qiyuan was implying that we should condemn MOE's move to teach Malay/Chinese as 3rd language since we would be "forgetting our roots then".
Indeed, i am quite into it, but i still did my MTL well. I aren't failing it like Winston a.k.a. B.O.D. . If Qiyuan were to say i am forgetting my roots then, so Winston is the one who really do not know his roots.
And also, i did not not visit my relatives during C.N.Y and i also did according to all those festivals and stuffs.
And, on a side note : Chinese songs are meaningless. Just look at what they are singing. The genre is all the same. There is no variety or "wow" factor in mandarin songs. And english songs don't sing to my tune. ( that's why i felt left out when all those crazy people started singing english songs and talking about JB )
So, there is no basis in Qiyuan saying i have forgotten my roots by doing too much japanese.
Instead, i "embraced" another sub-culture, which is the sort of minor version of akihabara-style japanese, not forgetting i am a chinese at the same time.
In a nutshell, QIYUAN YOU SUCK !
Alright just wrote long paragraphs of crap with no support for my arguments at all.
I just remembered, i puked all that i ate last night after dinner. Remember i ate that extra piece of chiken in addition to all that oily stuff i ate at KFC. I was crouching over the ktichen basin, almost going to puke then. But then suddenly i thought of all those disgusting stuff, like koonlng's hairstyle, then i puked everything out. I could have not puked, but then i rushed through my dinner, and then also thought of disgusting stuffs for no apparent reason.
Oh i heard from Joel that the 2/3 '06 people are having a meal together later after the Farewell assembly. If it is at Seoul Garden, i wouldn't want to go. Since i am for-japanese, i naturally dislike korean stuffs.
( and i already explained enough in previous posts why i hate korean drama and others)
But then i heard from Zikai that the venue was at Sakae sushi. So, i guess i am going.
But my gosh, i am going to over-spend again. I had already spent $8 at that stupid chicken restaurant (KFC) yesterday. I really need to save up for many reasons.
Oh, and i think will post another post today after i had cried in the Farewell assembly in school today..
That's why the title for this post is "Prologue" right?
Sleep with the trauma that kept you sleepless
