isnt this a nice phrase?
-"teddy bear substitute".
a bit ironic, because a teddy bear is already a substitute for a loved one. but oh well. went for physics mock today, again. but it was nice to see classmates again, compared to having to see the expressionless mugs of other teenagers and adults in the frigid cells of the library, trying to ignore boys/girl cliques/snoring adults/cute but irritating old men reading out loud. ^^

apparently there's been a petition put up by some obsessed wife of an army officer who is opposing the new pixelated camouflage army uniform that the Singapore Army is going to use, one of the reasons stated cos {She called the new pattern "unflattering" and "unmanly" in her postings, adding quite tellingly that "one of the primary reasons I married my husband is because of his dashing uniform".}
um, lady, could you get your priorities straight?! i mean, i totally understand that any woman would be unhappy if her man suddenly comes home looking more like an octopus rather than tarzan, but we're going to have to look at the big picture. im having difficulty trying to adjust myself to the picture of platoons of shimmering, multi-coloured soldiers myself, but if it's effective, why not? its kind of cool-sounding..like soldiers can now run from a rainforest right into the sahara dessert, without wasting time changing nor looking like a running neon sign screaming, "shoot me!"
anyway, this problem shouldnt even be a problem at all. if uniform fetishists are that obsessed, go and buy your own!! why start a fuss just because of your own preferences? i love uniforms too (red cross uniforms just look so chio and dao at the same time^^), but when this is a matter of interfering with national security, this is just trivial and juvenille.
hey, maybe they could take it to the newly-established Speaker's Corner. im sure everyone will be interested to listen to complaints about how the new un-macho designs will ruin all romance in their love life and make their men look like astronauts.
ey, i would go lor. in fact, i'd bring popcorn.

anyway, i dont even wanna talk about physics today. except that if i ever become a teacher, im going to copy all of mr yau's teaching strategms. how does he make a revolting, disgusting physics mock turn out to be so... tahan-able and effective? must be decades and decades of experience.
{that's why i think mr yau's sort of an enigma, too. he's like the combination of a 100 year old sage and a 5 year old kid, mixed up and placed in a 30 year old guy's body. because he has popeye's biceps and theyre not saggy yet, NOTHING ELSE.}
ok, this has gone super disgusting. shoot me.

will you be my teddy-bear-substitute?
