My Half-Blood Sister

Filed under: Uncategorized - joming @ 8:07 pm

Long lost in between the dark silhouettes,
Her visage is played by a minaret.
A deadly cough has consumed her in sleep,
I cannot sleep even one inch deep.
The convulsive hack thunders through the air,
Tomorrow, I shall call for help at health care.
My half-blood sister has an intense spunk,
She romps around and gossips with the monk.
The milk is gone, the eggs and ice cream too!
You’ve raided my fridge, what shall I do with you?
Make you a capon? Perhaps Annie stew?

B&N

Barnes&Noble is now officially my second home. Aside from providing the perfect ambiance that even a library is incapable of rivaling, B&N has an eclectic supply of books from Fabric of the Cosmos to The Devil Wears Prada. Annie and I are trend-setters. Before us, no one dared to rearrange the furniture, but now… the couches are never in place. Bow down to the derelicts who were derided at the forefront. =) Okay, I’ve procrastinated enough today. Time to delve into Taylor and MacLaurin series! Recommended Book: Cut by Patricia McCormick.

Stop. Drop. And Drive

Filed under: Odyssey of My Mind - joming @ 4:44 pm

Uhh…I just finished my second driving lesson. 2 down, 1 to go! On my first lesson, I mastered the K-turn, the U-turn, and all those other alphabet turns (R-turn, L-turn, etc.) Anyway, I drove on the highway my first lesson because I have such an amazing grasp on the wheel-feel. =) I do love my humility. Today…it was the infamous parallel parking in a nutshell. But, it wasn’t half as bad as I thought it’d be. And then, onto the highway to hell. D= OKay, I’m sure you’re all dying to hear more about my road adventures, but I gotta cut the blog short. I have 2 more movies to watch: Manchurian Candidate (original) and Cyrano Bergerac (french).

MADAGASCAR!

HOLY SHIT. This movie was freakin AMAZING. Full of emotion, this phenomenol DREAM work transformed paroxysms of laughter into silent sobs of anguish. I highly recommend all of you FINDING NEMO, THE INCREDIBLES lovers to run out to the theaters tonight. There were soo many sexual connotations in that movie, but funny thing is– the wee little 6 yr olds were bursting with laughter when a hippo surfaces from the water screaming sex appeal. Oh, better yet, when Alex the lion (Ben Stiller) was about to ram a gigantic wooden trunk up Melvin the giraffe’s (David Schwimmer) ass. Funny really. Makes you wonder about today’s youth.

Telemarketing Confusion

Filed under: Odyssey of My Mind - joming @ 4:31 am

This is a true story that happened the other day:

telemarketer: Hello. Can I speak to s-e-n-g-h-u-a-n-g chiang?
annie: What?
telemarketer: I can’t pronounce this. s-e-n-g-h-u-a-n-g chiang
annie: what?
telemarketer: s-e-n-g-h…
SWITCH TO JOMING
telemarketer: …u-a-n-g
joming: wait a minute, can you repeat that? let me get a pen.
telemarketer: s-e-n-g-h-u-a-n-g chiang. I can’t pronounce this.
joming: ohhhh Fenghuang Chiang. That’s my mom. She’s out of town, sorry.

::Sob:: My throat hurts. I guess I shouldn’t sleep with a sick person. Bad idea. Shitload of work again. I’m tired outta my mind. I’m going to publish my photography work–a collaboration with Nee! Our photo-name (”pen-name”) is DERELICT. Wowzers, how cool is that. I know. Thank you, Thank you. Anyway, it’ll be the next NY Times Bestseller because all of you will buy it RIGHT? Good. Then all is settled.

Sniffle.

Filed under: Odyssey of My Mind - joming @ 10:11 am

It’s 6:10 a.m. I don’t wanna study for calc. I took my temperature 50 times just to be sure. I squatted on the floor with my head down for 1 hour before standing up quickly in a desperate attempt to faint. I tried hot sauce to bring my temperature up. I tried packing a pocket of air in my mouth to increase the pressure and therefore the temperature. I was beet red. Still trying. Still thinking of ideas. Any advice, anyone?

Commencons!

Filed under: Odyssey of My Mind - joming @ 11:22 pm

Wowzers. I think this weblog is going to be my new best friend…I smell approaching manic obsession. Anyways, my poor tabby got bitten by a menacing tick that leeched off his blood for 30 days. Ooo. Everyone should indulge in the sweet melodies of F.I.R., a talented band from Singapore that has become the hottest stars in the East. I feel as if I’m just “stream-of-conscience”-ing, but oh well. I am privileged to it. =) Oh man…lately there’s been a procession of car accidents. Shum…Jean-Henri…oh boy. Drive safely everyone. Okay. I think I’m late for my date with Mr. Bailey now in my room. Don’t get ideas, Bailey is a history textbook.
