Funny Things my Younger Brother Says

*Some statements have been rephrased for clarity, he largely speaks Singlish and a mix of Chinese.

To my mum and me:
"You know, there's this teacher in my class that keeps saying 'must check your work'."
//pause//
"I think he should be really good at checkers."
Me: "What has that got to do with checkers?!"

"My eyes are more powerful, because my power (degree) is higher."
(600 degrees, he has bad myopia even though he's only 9)

Him: "There's this guy in my class with blue eyes! Do you think everything looks more blue to him? Like maybe the sky will look more blue?"
Me: "Then is everything black to you, even in the day?"
Him: "Oh ya hor."

In a way, you can feel his childish innocence in the things he says, and I really want him to keep that forever.

Logos Hope- The Largest Floating Book Fair

I visited the largest floating book fair in the world yesterday!

Logos Hope was this enormous ship, and (I quote from the website at this point)

It is a non-profit venture that is crewed and staffed by 400 volunteers from over 45 countries!!It first launched in 1970, and it has since welcomed 40 million visitors.

I swore to learn Japanese ten years ago, and I've not started (whoops). Did I mention I'm a huge procrastinator? So why am I saying this?

Well I made my first step in learning Japanese by picking up a small pocket Japanese - English dictionary (really small, the size of my palm. No kidding) and a Japanese language easy guidebook.

I'm going to make my ex-classmate give me lessons too, cos he teaches at the MOE Language centre and his Japanese is zai (awesome)

I also picked up a modern calligraphy beginner guide, but I can't really do much with it without the proper pen, ink and guidesheets. So I'm taking up a modern calligraphy course this month, on the 22nd. I've been searching for classes FOREVER, and finally there was one set up by Katrina Alana. I subscribed to their newsletter after seeing they held one previously, and I really can't wait!
