Today I was very sian. While my friends were gay dolphins, I was being a bored and sian sea sponge eating fish shit or whatever sea sponges do to pass time. Maybe I will find out by asking Shivam, the master of fun facts.
"Did you know that it is illegal to smoke a cigarette more than 5m from a dustbin?"
"Did you know that what you see during the day after you wake up from a dream will make you think of it?"
"Like if you dream about a bar of soap and then you wake up and go shower, you'll start thinking about your dream."
Niranjan began thinking of spending all night long dreaming about soap.
Intrigued by the subject, Jiya shared her nightmare with us. In it, her sister had transformed into a cow with a yellow ribbon like Gregory Samsa. In the meantime, her father was talking about the importance of chasing your dream.
Later, we had to attend another conference. BenMok wasn't wearing school pants and this made us extremely curious. Could this be like the time he wore his uniform (Billabong shirt, singlet, trousers) to school instead of what he was supposed to wear? But he had enormous news for us - he had lost 10kg and dropped a dress size so that his school pants were too big for him! He is a real life testiment to Doctor David's Diet. All girls seeking weight loss can go seek Dr David too.
Hamzah did not take this too well, which resulted in a public display of a nipple-cripple (Benmok's word).
Sanjev also told us how while visiting an open hearing, Hamzah told the noisy man beside him to stfu, only for the man to stand up next and go await his sentence. Upon realising he'd just offed a criminal, he wasn't so brave anymore.
That is Just So Hamzah.
During lunch a few days ago, he stretched across the table, trying to hi-five Arjun while congratulating him on some good news. Somehow in his enthusiasm, he flicked a piece of fried fish into his own ear. After shouting about how oily his ear was, he removed the fish and put it on a cushion. Niranjan had no words for this except "what a disgusting cheebye!"
Today, we were given a chance to pose questions to a panel of speakers from the prison services. Hamzah ran down to the mike just as Kar Min stepped up to make her own query. The moment Hamzah stood there, people in the audience began lolzing and talking already. It was clear he had something interesting to say.
He asked how anal sex amongst prisoners is detected.
The panel probably got a good opportunity for comparison and realised how diverse the students of our school are. It's true. We come in all shapes and sizes.

Niranjan also pointed out that many of the girls at the conference adhered to that observation. He found one that he deemed suitable for Benmok and passed it down the row to where Benmok was sitting on the opposite end.
Benmok cracked his knuckles threateningly while Niranjan mouthed CHIOBU CHIOBU.
Benmok elbowed Sanjev hard in the side and asked him to pass it down. Unfortunately due to the way we were seated Niranjan had to receive this from David, the buffest in the line.
Niranjan did something to David's moob and asked him to pass it down too. We watched in anticipation as Shivam explained to Sanjev what he was supposed to do to Benmok. Sanjev gave Benmok a half cheeky half apprehensive look, as Benmok's brows furrowed warningly.
A wild struggle took place in the sombre location. We gigzed so hard people turned around to stare. Niranjan actually turned sort of red from stifling the giggles. He clapped his hands over his mouth. His cheeks puffed with lolz. He kept letting out strange strangled sounds. David said in amusement and concern that he looked like he was going to burst.
To commemorate Benmok's success here is a
great video that was created by Bchen. Last night Celeste, Ranny, Bchen and I made more jibjab videos but I will save them for Christmas!

hop into my king-size bed
We went out to eat dinner as co-workers after a hard day of labour. I felt very old and sad listening to everyone talk about work, life, and other serious things.
But we were still not as old as we felt. Today Shivam and Gabriel forced me to go to Benson's Toy Store, where I reluctantly accompanied them in their excited perusal of various toys for various types of play. Somehow, we were not identified as office workers yet again :-(
Benson asked us if we were there to buy Christmas presents. We heartily agreed and claimed we were buying our friend Yi Dong a butt plug for Xmas. Maybe for his birthday next year hehe.
For everyone's birthdays this year, Gabriel practised collectivisation and bought a fancy big box of chocolates from Marks & Spencer. He wrote down the names of everyone in class with a heavy reliance on spellcheck (me).
Anyway after our excursion in the toy store in Burma, we took a lift up to see Niranjan. He was pleasantly surprised to see us standing outside his workplace with shiteating grins plastered all over our faces, after he'd warned us on multiple occasions in multiple phrasings not to come see him.

past and pending
Yesterday Niranjan and I went shopping at the supermarket in our office clothes. During our adventure there many lolzy tales were exchanged.
As we perused the candy aisle I told him about Amaris' ricetarded brother. She once hoped fervently that he was austistic, but it turned out he was simply ricetarded. People have also called her and mistaken her brother's voice for her own. I recounted tales of how he ate lizard eggs while mistaking them for candy, how he doggedly demanded that she play Crazy Frog songs for him on her music player, and how he begged me and Rachel to help him play neopets games while we were very hard at work on a Bio project with a looming deadline.
As we walked to the dairy section Niran then countered with stories of his troubled past involving cheese sticks and Smiling Cow snacks. We realised we both used to be avid eraser and sticker collectors, especially when it came to sets of various flags of different countries. His quest for the Brazil flag eraser was parallel to my thirst for the Germany flag keyring from the Rollercoaster snacks.
Finally we looked at Sanjev's favourite brands of milk, which include Dutch Lady milk and Smoo milk. There are some really catastrophic flavours of milk, like papaya and banana. Why on earth would anyone milk a papaya or a banana?!
