What have we here?

*walk up to podium and tests microphone* Ahem.. Hello? =.= Audio people, give me some sound. Louder? Much better, thank you! *mumbled about imcompetent technician* *Technicians glare out of sound room* Ahem, I meant, um Great weather isnt it? Looks at the sky, oh it's dark heh uh oh~ ok cut the crap. I was bored to I typed that front part, please forgive me *grovels* please? *gets up* ha- you cant refuse if I do that *smirks* just kidding.

How is everyone doing, Im absolutely estatic that our little idea here has brough us so far and spawned us *counting* 4 faithful, loyal (waits to be seen) partners in crime, uh I mean partners on this blogging community! First up, i'd like to extend a hand of thanks to Ah^Wei (Can I call you Wei from now on? Ah^ wei is a tad hard to type cos of the "^") for laying down the ground rules. Yep its simple, just stick by them and no one gets hurt *off-screen voice: But i want to test out my torture devices!* SHH!! They can hear you Vain! *Off-screen voice: Eh?! You never warned me! Im outta here~*

Right heh *sweats* Um yea, it is now 12:55am so you can really see the madness coming through here heehee. Oh yes, ive taken quite a liking to Puns, although there are far and few between depending on the situation, I enjoy the recognition and usage of these little gems. A little extra on the side here. Let me introduce you, a kind of short japanese poem, the haiku.

A haiku is written in syllables. You know what syllables are right? Like the word "apple" has two syllables (ap-ple) or astronaut has three (as-tro-naut). You get the picture. Now a haiku is in the form of syllables, in the order 5-7-5, there need not be any particular meaning for the whole thing or even rhyming although a general sense of continuity is necessary. Please not that the 5-7-5 is for the WHOLE line and not for each word. An eg.

As time passes by (5: as time pass-es by)
I occasionally gaze (7: I o-cca-sion-a-lly gaze)
Back where I began (5: back where I be-gan)

Easy? I just found this and it is rather fun making them up as you go along. Try it! When you have the time of course, although I assure you it wont take more than a few minutes of your precious time. Hmm, is this post alright? I mean I myself still am not sure as to what the purpose of this blog is. However, should this post ruflle the feathers of any bird-brained felons out there, drop me a line and I'll feel free to give it a tug. That does in no way mean I discourage friendlier encouragement, just direct it to me pigeon-hole. Alas, I think im carrying this bird thing on too far. A little something here~

I leave behind this
Just a tiny parting gift
Use it as you please

Well, I'll be ending here, feel free to comment, and do try to write a few on your own, you might uncover for the world a little buried gem. Have fun~ Ciao

A simplicity complex

I thought it would be good to share some jokes here.

One day, Ah Choy & Ah Seng were walking down the Chinatown when they saw something in their path.

"Wait!" cried Ah Choy.

"Wat is lat ho?"

"Yah ho! Be carefool lo," warned Ah Seng.

"Wat is it?" They approached the thing and looked at it very closely. "Eee.. look like poo lah!" say Ah Choy.

"Hmmm..smell like poo also!" say Ah Seng after taking a deep breath.

Ah Choy then poked the thing with his one finger, raised the finger to his lips, tasted it and said, "Tastes like poo!"

Ah Seng pushed his finger right through the thing and stick out his tongue to lick. With confident, he said, "Confirm is poo!"

Then they smiled at each other, "Wah! lucky we didn't step on it."


-sniggers-

kies, I really think that it's very funny can. LOL. Anyway, here's another one. ^^

A woman is out looking for a pet, and so she's trying the local pet shops. She walks into a small pet shop and explains her need to the attendant. He thinks for a moment and then says, "I've got just the thing for you madam. I'll just get him."

With that, he disappears into the back of the shop, and returns a few seconds later with a cute little puppy. "This dog is a special dog," he tells her. "It is able to fly," he explains, and with that throws the dog into the air. It immediately begins to float gracefully around the shop.

"There is one problem with him, however. Whenever you say 'my', he'll eat whatever you've mentioned. Watch. "My apple!" The lady watches in astonishment as the dog zooms over to the shop attendant and furiously devours an apple he has produced from his pocket.

"He's cute, and so unusual. I'll take him," she says, and a few minutes later she is on her way back home with dog to show her husband.

"Darling, look what a clever pet I bought today!" she exclaims when she gets back home. "He can fly!"

The husband peers at the dog, and then remarks, "Fly eh? Ha! My
foot!"

I suppose everyone can guess what happens to his foot right. ~lolx. Come to think of it, why do we always go "my foot, my arse, your head"?? I admit to using them at times also. Is this under Singlish as well? haha. Speaking of Singlish, I remembered browsing through a book that's on sale at the Esplanade shop. It's something like a handbook for foreigners to teach them how to use Singlish and it says there that "lars, lehx, lei, lors, are like pepper, salt, sugar to food." How true how true. Because you also have to learn to add which one at the end of the sentence. Just like what to add to the food to enhance the flavour.

Anyway, the jokes are taken from ChannelNewsAsia forum. It's quite a fun place in there actually. ^^ Hope you enjoyed the jokes as much as I do. =D

Oxymoron
Colourful black

I never did introduce myself...

In actual fact, both Johann Faust and Desmond are wrong about being the last of the administrative members to introduce themselves. I am the last! -Smug- Hahahahaha! If you didn't notice otherwise, I have not introduced myself at all. All I did was to put up the first post and the rules. So whine all you want but I am gonna still be the last! (I am wondering why we are so obessed about being the last?) Faust, I think you better leave that kick for yourself. I am in no hurry needing it.

Let's not digress any furthur.

Just setting up this blog alone tells you what kind of a guy I am. Senseless? I suppose you could say that. Talking about being senseless, isn't it senseless to actually blog sense on a senseless blog? Lol~ Talk about being oxymoronic. Sense is not something which can be attained through studying but through being senseless. Now tell me, all of you want to be senseless too. So how senseless must we be before we actually start to make sense?

Easy. Did the above paragraph make any sense? Now you get the idea of what kind of a guy I am.

I am currently studying in NYP, persuing for the Diploma In Business Management. I would say that I have lived rather a full life.(Not literally Faust.) I am the kind to take things easy and slowly. I am a thinker, but not a doer. Unlike Faust, who constanly does things... to people that is. That is why I am always "The Thinker" in group projects.

Another thing, I seem to have an unlimited amount of patience. It never seem to run out. Perhaps that is why I usually take things easy. I have so much patience that I actually enjoy sitting down doing nothing and looking at time pass. Might I add that I am a happy go lucky person?

My writing once sucked because I used tons of ellipsis. (For those who do not know what ellipsis are, they are commonly known as suspension points.)[For those who still do not know what suspension points are, they are ... Yes! ... That is called an ellipsis] Can you imagine reading a blog entry with ellipsis on every single sentence? It is not only grammatically wrong but also irritating... Yes! That irritating... It's almost as irritating as Desmond's brackets... It was not long after I found out that my fingers were just so accustomed to typing the ellipsis whenever I end a sentence... I have rectified the mistake but it still affects my chatting on msn...

Irritating isn't it? I guessed so. From all the introduction of the administrative members, I am sure you can tell we do not think like normal people. We are actually better than normal. Abnormal! Hahaha!

Some may ask, why the need to bother about grammar and punctuation when blogging?

To say the truth, it is actually my personal interest. I like the language English. Besides, it is the only subject I scored the highest among all my other subjects during secondary school life. Apart from the English language, I have also taken an interest in Bahasa Indonesia. For the last time, I did not like the language because my ex was an indonesian! So quit bugging me about it.

This was suppose to be a short introduction wasn't it? But what to do when I have so many good things to talk about myself?

Other than language and acadamically wise, I am also blessed with senseless knowedge. Who would be interested in sex actually? That part of me I would really conseder weird. Lots of girls hate guys who think about sex all day long. It's surprising that I have girlfriends. Throughout the years in secondary school, I have learned alot about it. Now I am blessed with a wide knowledge of it. Hahaha! Wonder if saying this would make the girls shun me in future? Well, accept it cos it's part of me.

There is much more about me that you will gradually find out through this blog. I intend to keep the other traits of myself a secret and let you people find out. So I guess there is a lot of inference you can do with my entries.

P.S: I will be leaving Singapore for a diving trip and will only be back by Sunday. I am currently on a diving course. Hopefully I get my diving liscence soon. I'll end this post with some wacky advice of mine. If you've got it, fluant it!

Anti-climatic Orgasm

Welcome to Meaningful Oxymorons!

Welcome to senseless-logic.blogspot.com, one of the most perfect blogging community ever. Since nothing is perfect, this blog is nothing. Think that this is a welcome/splash page? Sorry to disappoint, this is actually an entry that briefly introduces myself.

By the way.... ( No, Johann Faust was not the last person from the Administrative Committee to post.. but me! )

Hi, my name is Desmond. ( Hold your breath, and read the next line... go! )
I'm forgetful and a free thinker and the only child in my family and soft-hearted and an anti-smoker and single and a lousy liar and extremely careless and cheerful and optimistic and against wet weathers and a Digital Media Design student and a Chinese and definitely very senseless sometimes ( For example, now. ).

I use a lot of brackets when writing. ( It can get irritating sometimes. ) [ I hate irritants, and yet I irritate people unknowingly. ] { You see what I mean? }

From the examples above, you see three different brackets used. Three of them carry three different information that somehow relate to each other. I put them in brackets because I personally don't find them appropriate without brackets.

Uhhh.. whatever. I believe that the short introduction above is not enough for you, right? So young pretty girls out there who are interested to know more about me, feel free to add me in your MSN Messenger at T_A_X_I_@hotmail.com and visit my blog to know more about me! Interact with me! Play with me! =P

*someone asks 'what about the rest who are not young, not pretty and are not girls?'*

Umm.... uhhh.. just add me anyway. =X

Dramatic Entry

*Yawn* Eh? Im the last person from the Administrative Committee to post? Ha~ Its all preplanned you see, by coming in late Id be able to get all eyes on me and make, like my title, a stunning dramatic entry... *Gets run over by mob shouting, "As if!"* *dusts self off* Ok, first thing you need to know about me when I blog, I tend to use * alot. Anything witin the * premeters means actions eg *kicks Ah^Wei in the nuts* *Ah^well falls over* see? Nice and easy, oh and I like to deviate alot too, as if you havent noticed.

Ok back on task, I am Johann Faust, Or more accurately I prefer to be called Johann Faust. 16 going on 17 (Hey isnt that a song from the Sound of Music? You know the musical? I am sixteen going on seventeen, innocent as a rose~ lol you can message me for the mp3) just like most of the other senior citizens here. As for studies, lets just say Im decked in Brown daily =)

For hobbies please look up Anime and Manga on your own, if you start calling it cartoons or comics I will not hesitate yo hit you. Im a Singaporean Chinese and a Christian, I'm not biased against any race or religion but I may try to convert you if I feel the need to =) Just a slight warning, my logic and sense is directly proportionate to things that happen daily multiplied by the random factor i have named randomness, which usually equates too.... not much =) You have been warned.

Last but not least, Add me on MSN Messanger at faust_viii_sf@hotmail.com , e-mail me at johann0faust@gmail.com and visit my blog here =) Feel free to link me up!

House Rules

Before I start rattling on about the rules we have to obey, I would like to take this moment and announce the admin members of this blog. They will be the so called government for this blog.

They are, Yours Truly, Desmond, Johann Faust and MrVain. If you do have any ideas to improve this blog, please feel free to voice your opinions to them and we will discuss about it.

I will leave it to all of you on whether to reveal your true identity in this blog. I do not mind if someone joins in and remain anonymous throughout.

Now onto the important stuff.

Someone told me there isn't a need for rules. However, I beg to differ. Ever since I attended the Bloggers' convention, I have come to realised that we do indeed have to think before we type. I always used to think that I could type anything on the net and get away scott free.

Thing is, we can get sued if our words has any defaming meaning in it. So I would hope that no one makes this mistake and get into trouble. However fear not. There is a way to save yourself if you ever get into this trouble. So do not feel restricted to voice yourself.

I hope these rules will serve their purpose and you all will follow it. I do not want to mett out any punishment because I know all of you would obey it. Don't worry. It ain't difficult to follow anyway.

The House Rules

1. Please be active. (Try to blog here at least once a week.)

2. Be creative and let your imagination run wild!

3. If possible, please do not use acronyms. (I do not want to crack my brains trying to figure what you guys are typing.)

4. Please link this site to your personal site if you have one.

5. Do remember to end the post with a different oxymoron everytime you blog.

6. Lastly, please enjoy your stay and be stay open minded about stuff being blogged here.

Anyone has any violent objections?! Hahaha! I sure hope not.

The admin members are trying very hard to find a theme for our layout. So if you do have any idea, go ahead and tell us. I am also trying very hard to get more members. Like they say, the more the merrier! So do tell your friends about this community.

Will stop here before all of you find me long winded.

Fine. drama. (plus crap...?)

I'm 16 going on 17 this year (-cringes- God knows how many times I've typed this today) and currently studying in NYP, enrolled in the course Molecular Biotechnology. I'm supposed to have my common test next week, and instead of studying for it since I skipped so many lectures and haven't done more than 5 tutorials, I'm here blogging.

Oh ya, I forgot to mention, I'm a chinese female and I'm here because of Wei Xin's invitation. (though I think he might regret in the future. lolx.)

So I thought it would be fun to join this blogging communtiy and ta-da here I'm! Now what am I supposed to say. -mumbles- Ahhh, my interests. I'm in NYP Chinese Orchestra (CO) and I play the erhu.

my oxymoron:

Bright Darkness

The honour...

I am real glad to be able to have the honour to give the opening for this new blog which Chang Xiang, Shan An, Desmond and me have put up. Apart from my own personal blog, I'll also be blogging here. So will the rest. I think I might want to change my style of typing over here as it does get a little boring typing the same way twice. What I will change to? I myself do not know it yet. So I suppose you guys have to tune in regularly to find out.

What we are doing here is called a blogging community. It is open for anyone to join. We gladly welcome you with open arms. Before you do, make sure you are a member of blogger and put your e-mail address that is registered with blogger.

The irony about this blogger community we have is that we are suppose to have a focus of interest to blog about. However, our focus of interest is to blog about anything under the sun. Ironic isn't it? Hahaha! It kind of coincides with our url, senseless logic. It is an oxymoron if you guys did notice it.

I think we should have rules when it comes to blogging here. As chinese says, guo you guo fa, jia you jia gui. It literally means that every countries has it own laws and every home has its own house rules. So I guess we should have blog rules. However, I am a little pressed for time and thus I shall spare you all by publishing the rules next time.

Before I end, I want to thank Shan An and Chang Xiang who made this idea possible for me.

One rule I would like to start with though, everyone who blogs in here, please end the post with an oxymoron please. Thank you! I shall start the ball rolling.

Blindly Stared
