Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken sie abends
wir trinken sie mittags und morgens wir trinken sie nachts
wir trinken und trinken
wir schaufeln ein Grab in den Lüften da liegt man nicht eng
Ein Mann wohnt im Haus der spielt mit den Schlangen der schreibt
der schreibt wenn es dunkelt nach Deutschland dein goldenes Haar Margarete
er schreibt es und tritt vor das Haus und es blitzen die Sterne er pfeift seine Rüden herbei
er pfeift seine Juden hervor läßt schaufeln ein Grab in der Erde
er befiehlt uns spielt auf nun zum Tanz
Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken dich nachts
wir trinken dich morgens und mittags wir trinken dich abends
wir trinken und trinken
Ein Mann wohnt im Haus der spielt mit den Schlangen der schreibt
der schreibt wenn es dunkelt nach Deutschland dein goldenes Haar Margarete
Dein aschenes Haar Sulamith wir schaufeln ein Grab in den Lüften da liegt man nicht eng
Er ruft stecht tiefer ins Erdreich ihr einen ihr andern singet und spielt
[Vortrag: Er ruft stecht tiefer ins Erdreich ihr einen ihr andern spielt weiter zum Tanz auf]
er greift nach dem Eisen im Gurt er schwingts seine Augen sind blau
stecht tiefer die Spaten ihr einen ihr andern spielt weiter zum Tanz auf
Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken dich nachts
wir trinken dich mittags und morgens wir trinken dich abends
wir trinken und trinken
ein Mann wohnt im Haus dein goldenes Haar Margarete
dein aschenes Haar Sulamith er spielt mit den Schlangen
Er ruft spielt süßer den Tod der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland
er ruft streicht dunkler die Geigen dann steigt ihr als Rauch in die Luft
dann habt ihr ein Grab in den Wolken da liegt man nicht eng
Schwarze Milch der Frühe wir trinken dich nachts
wir trinken dich mittags der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland
wir trinken dich abends und morgens wir trinken und trinken
der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland sein Auge ist blau
er trifft dich mit bleierner Kugel er trifft dich genau
ein Mann wohnt im Haus dein goldenes Haar Margarete
er hetzt seine Rüden auf uns er schenkt uns ein Grab in der Luft
er spielt mit den Schlangen und träumet der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland
dein goldenes Haar Margarete
dein aschenes Haar Sulamith
hell there was a snow armagedon!!!!!!
but me and anan went shopping nonetheless because we are the bravest people on earth!
and we trudged in 20 cm of snow to eat sushi and to Queen Mother Cafe to have pecan cheese cake (which is heaven!) and walked all over town looking for coats. just because we finally have time to spend with one another. (insert yayyyyyyyyy!)
and i bought him a grill for christmas and he bought me a blender.
finally, things both of us can use on our housewife or iron chef days.
alsoooooooooooooooooooo. to everyone. merry christmassssssssssss in advance. have a hohohoho time.
i was obviously bitterly telling her about how boring my life in ice-land was.
and nowwwwwwww. i yam goinggggggggggg! once i get the dates from my two companions who have rejected the idea not quite so violently, i shall book us into the marriot facing the fallsssss!
yayness.
It disturbs me that these terrorist leaders live in large estates funded by Saudi terror allies and make men who have nothing in their pockets do their dirty deeds.
I cannot fathom how they can live with themselves knowing somewhere deep inside that they're big fat frauds. still they use their god's name. You have no idea how angry it makes me to see these young boys fighting for a GOD some fat lying bastard has created in their head. I saw a documentary yesterday where this Muslim woman said, "I am scared. I am Muslim and I am scared", in reference to what is being taught to the young these days by extremist.

well my chest area.
i think it's because i have this insane amount of stress looming above me.
but who knows eh?
i also have this crazy feeling that i am going to die soon.
I have no idea why but its one of those weeks where my heart races really fast when i am am sitting down waiting for the bus.
my chest cramps up and i can't get up in the morning.
right now i am blamming it on my exams.
and i was suppose to go for yoga today (yes i decided to go back cause i am going a little bit crazy for sure since i stopped it),
instead after my exams i am going to come home and rest and hope that the chest pains go away. and then if they don't tomorrow i am going to go see a doctor.
maybe i just need many hours of undistrubed rest.
yes and that i shall get tonight!!!!
i am actually kinda excited for this exam to end!!!!
and i shall have 1 full month of me time.
oneeeeeeee full month
i havent had that since i started with university.
(okay well maybe not 1 full month of doing nothing, i have to search for a new intership, or maybe a job next semester. we'll see. but today. i am going to rest. i am going to come back and sleep. and then i shall go rent a few german movies and watch them all night long as i prepare to meet random german people tmr at the german bar and practise my now dying german on them. i understand it really well, but i am not getting enough speaking experience)
how do i say, "god you look so good now that i am drunk?"
gott. du siehst so schoen jetzt, wenn ich betrunken bin.
naturlich spreche ich besser deutsch, wenn ich getrunken haben.
rummaging through anan's things (after asking him for permission), i found a postcard that said
"sometimes the king is a woman"
and all i could think to myself was
where the fuck have u been all my life?

No I am no racist. I love chinese people as much as I love people of any colour.
But this post on postsecret.blogspot.com was the most hilarious thing i have seen in days.
I was watching a chinese movie last night (yes i love toronto for they show chinese and hindi and tamil and russian and german and italian movies in the middle of the night).
so yes was watching chinese movie i do not know the title of, making fun of the way christians see buddhist and vice versa.
moral of the movie- stop being so hung up on religion and for fuck's sake, just like people for the fact that they're that, people!
basically the story of my life.
best movie i have seen in days. it had dancing chinese goddess and jesus christ with a pot belly dancing with Buddha who also had a pot belly.
I laughed till i almost pee-ed in my pants.
one chinese goddess, stopped halfway and turned to the screen and went, "yeah thats jesus. he kinda thinks he's alone in the world. we let him pretend he is."
it was so funny the way she said it. and the close up on jesus christ building a table.
i am sorry to my buddhist and christian friends. but seriously, if you'd watched it, you'd been very amused too.
I like chinese people. and i like their crazy movies.
i shall look forward to more midnight movies.
and its perfect for the whole situation going on in the world right now. i thought it put it perfectly when the gods told us to grow the hell up and see the world beyond race and religion and colour.
there was this scene where the little girl tries to convert this little sikh boy she has a crush on to christianity and he just looks at her with the most hurtful little boy eyes. o my god. i love this movie. i shall find out what the hell it was and put it up here sometime when i am free.
my face is swollen and i want to kill people.
i also have an exam tmr.
o god.
how do we know that.
when they're tralalala-ing carols in the supermarket and its snowing so much it gives you the heebeejeebies.
First real day of real snow, not the wuss-y/gay white stuff we'd been having for a few weeks.
I take a break from the usual analysing of africa and why its so damn fucked up (i didnt say it, the american author in the book did) and look out to see everything covered in snow. My street has never been this bright. so big hoorah for the snow for doing that.
I went out to throw my trash in tiny shorts and a vj t-shirt. (obviously i gloat for now i am very brave this season, but shall cry my mascara away when i get sick and you will tell me the way you do, I TOLD YOU SO)
i am a tad bit homesick.like a tad tad bit. i miss kwey teow for some reason. I never even ate kwey teow when i was back home in sunny sunshine land. I am afraid the next time i come home, i will actually take a tour of all the hawker centres and eat everything. but alas, god KNOWS WHEN I AM COMING HOME.
my cousin threatens to get married.
cause she knows that will definitely bring me home.
more so because i want to see the idiot who wants to marry her instead of her.
I don't know what i'll do if i ever decide to sit on that longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg flight home.
it's gonna be 2 years now. (well soon)
i wonder whats cool now?
what them minahs and mats are wearing (god dont u love them, so innocent and wonderful and simple)
and those cute mini ah bengs.
the singaporeans here dont even sound like singaporeans.
cheat my money.
all got fake ang moh accents. i want the real ones who say, "cher cher, why you talk liddat ah?"
ah home!
i tell u its the snow. its making me feel all fuzzy headed.
ONLY 2 MORE WEEKS BEFORE MY EXAMS ARE OVER.
tralalallaa.
what made you proud today?
We are below South Africa, Namibia, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia (to name a few)
Shame on us.
THE PHILIPPINES IS NUMBER 6!!!!
Last night was wonderful. I actually attended this party organized by the American Society, and sat down with my favouritest professor, Lilach Gilady who has spend many years teaching at yale before coming here and discussed this whole thing over a glass of wine (or in my case water cause i am still slightly unwell) . and i got terribly annoyed with this republican 30 something man who came up to me in his smuck-americanishness and went, "so i am guessing you must be an Obamalite"
"yes i am! and proud of it"
"why are you voting mccain? I thought anyone with a brain would do the entire opposite"
prick 30 something man: "Anyone but Obama. NO OBAMA"
me: o my mistake. I thought u had a brain.
walks away happily.
Watched the rest of it at home with the sickly Anan at my side.
Cried when Obama won!
I was proud that America made the right decision.
I woke up this morning and my room was a mess, my living room is a mess, and i have an exam in 2 days I am not vaguely prepared for.
But somehow i know everything will be good. cause it's a new day. with a new black president!
Everything today is a YES WE CAN!
being so close to the action here, i cannot help but get caught in the whole mix of it.
Tomorrow is election day and even though Canada is nothing but a US wannabe, everyone I know is sitting on the edge of their seats. Professors of International Relations and Students alike.
Will Obama win? will we finally be able to break racial stereotypes and allow meritocracy to prevail?
O my god. I am so caught up in this Obama fever that i swear i will cry if he doesnt win.
It's like those football games where you cross you fingers the entire 90 minutes of the game and hope all goes well and your team wins!
I don't not like McCain. I think he is a really sweet man but with terrible political advisers. His record and is maverick-status are very endearing, but this election has just displayed him as another stupid politician who relies on his advisers and does not hold true to himself. Stupid advisers might i add. I mean just look at how they packaged him.
AND HIS VICE PRESIDENT CHOICE!!! to quote hillary, "no way no how no Palin!!!"
I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!!! the woman is already in talks about having her own show after the elections (hint: she really isnt into the politics as much as she is into the media attention.)
Obama winning on the other hand is going to mean alot to so many people.
That the US which prides itself on Merit (haha. bullshit) is actually going to finally put someone in the oval office based on his merit and intelligence.
I think its about time to end with the dumb presidents and time to do some serious PR work and try to salvage what ever little respect they can salvage for the US.
No seriously. The world needs change.
And because we are serious lackeys, and the US is never going to let go of its superpower status, let us be lackeys to a country truly worth being lackeys for with a president worth looking up to.
I wish, and i really mean this one, that for once in their lives those Americans down there make the right decision and not kick the intelligent guy out for the stupid one. (anyone smell al gore- bush here, cause i do?)
If obama doesnt win, i know i won't be the only angry one. The US alone doesnt need change, the entire world does.
Maybe if Obama does win, someday we might just see a non-chinese Prime Minister in Singapore, or let me push the line here, a non-chinese FEMALE Prime Minister? Just wondering.... *wink*
- Mood:
curious
we get one more hour.
one full hour.
to sleep, to play, to watch tv, to do nothing of any absolute importance.
and that is exactly what i am doing right now.
a little bit of nothing.
god its been a long time.
