two world best essays
I received two not-so-world-class-yet-significant-and-interesting essays. Got no plans to post it at first, but in case my com crash one day and everything inside go missing...One from fat bee and another from fat pig.(i) Calcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalcalca.
No, on the contrary to your current thoughts, I’m not mad. Neither have I nothing to write. I wrote that because this name appears everywhere, in my mind, my thoughts, my interests, my handphone and my life. Here’s my friend, I’ll name him a pretty-obvious-Cal.
Let me begin with a description of a murky figure that lingers in your mind which attaches itself to this name. Cal is reasonably tall, and reasonably size and reasonable figure. Quite obviously, Cal is reasonable. I like his hair though. Anyway, one thing that stands out is his eyes. My goodness, they’re bigger then the Taj Mahal and the Merlion put together. The rest of the features are quite nice really. Come to think of it, he is actually bordering more on the handsome side of looks. But I shouldn’t continue, who knows? My libido might be in question.
Time and time again, friends like this come oh-so-rarely, yet I feel a change in the wind. I’ve got two! Of gargantuan proportions worthy of a King-kong-eqse relationship.
But anyhoo, here are Cal’s faults. He for one can be helpful to a fault.
I LOVE his helpfulness, I really do. It compliments my “lazy” nature. But, But. But; in tandem with his occasion overzealousness his helpfulness can turn scary, or even unwarranted.
Secondly, in which has happened more recently then most, is his mood swings. I’m like “wassup brother?” “What’s wrong with you”? Oh man, I hate his mood swings. I think he doesn’t like it and I don’t like it and hell nobody likes it. But oh well, I do the same thing OCCASIONALLY.
LASTLY, IN WHICH IS HIS BIGGEST FAULT OF ALL. CALVIN IS A SCOUSER!!!! I MEAN, WHO LIKES SCOUSERS? EVERYBODY KNOWS MANCHESTER UNITED IS A MUCH BETTER FOOTBALL CLUB.
With his greatest fault, comes his greatest strength, his knowledge of football is second to no one, except me! Our topics to chat are limitless, but arguably number one is about our love for soccer. Sure, the occasion heated debates comes out about our various loves. But, his knowledge about soccer I have never seen in an age (Which is remarkably short about 18 years), apart from my Malay friends, he is one great soccer loving Chinese dude that I can relate to perfectly.
*PARAGRAPH CENSORED ON REQUEST BY AUTHOR*HAHA. KEEN TO KNOW THE CONTENT OF THIS PARAGRAPH? HEHEHE...
Cal personality is one of great intrigue. He is able to hold on a façade for an extraordinarily long time and keep to it. Sometimes it affects when his façade is undesirable but most it is his playful and cheerful nature. One particular prank I recall vividly is fabricating my results in perfect format that fooled me completely.
Cheerfulness and smiles are is of his greatest attribute or are two of his greatest attributes. Being around him is never really dull (except for those moody parts) and he’s always the one who comes out with the most nonsense. In fact, one of my current pleasures in life is to hear Cal and Val talk or bicker, for that fact. Cal’s few greatest enjoyments in life are to insult Val, and I must admit, I enjoy it too. So that is another point of agreement between us.
Chinese has never been my strong point. Cal attempts to integrate his excellent command of Chinese on many people, namely ME. Apart from that, his Chinese is horribly good.
Talking, “friending”, being around is all fine and dandy. But what has Cal has that makes him such a horribly good friend?
An innate ability to coax and draw me out of my shell is one of my greatest pleasures in knowing him. Also, a skill to say things at the right time is also GREAT. Admiration can come in many different forms, for me, mine towards him is for his determination to complete and finish something. For instance, if I want something done, I give it to him and I know it’s as good as done.
Also, in tandem with his question, Cal likes to watch weird shows. Well, they’re alright for him I’d suppose but its HORROR. I for one do not like to be horrified, and when I have to pay money for it. So yeah.
Anyway, Lastly, IN conclusion, Hence, Therefore, Henceforth, Thus, ThusHence , Forth Something.
Cal here is a magnificent friend that I indeed cherish for what I hope for be a very very long time.
I recall once that you couldn’t say EVERYTHING in front of me or can’t express yourself properly. Let me assure you that I hope you will be able to in due course and I’ll be more then welcome to accept your stuff.(ii) My Friend from the Zoo
He has eyes bigger than your nose, stubby fingers with weird fingernails and “barbeque-pork pimples. He’s about a head taller than me and a little shorter than Reuben. Ok, that didn’t make much sense. Anyway, here’s a little essay about a Pig who loves to call another pig “pig”.
Some days when he feels like being Superman, he’ll turn up in his infamous black tee with a big red “S” in front of him. Probably another reason why he loves to wear that particular shirt is because it gives him the motivation to downsize from a current XXXL to a humble S. Thus the gym is his second home. How can anyone survive with one attire for 365 days a year? Of course my dear friend here has another. 501, that’s his personal code. So if you see him wearing the same thing on alternate days? Do not freak out, it’s not dejavu.
His motto “To fill the gap.” Boy does this motto mean a lot to him. On one hand, this explains why he is so sociable. In class he would be the one to bridge a bond between the different cliques. On the other, he got a little help from a couple of his dearest and most lovable and bestest friends from poly to teach him to smile without a gap in between his upper set of teeth and lower set of teeth.
Sometimes (I’m being extremely polite here) my friend is kind of sadistic as well. He finds joy, comfort and peace when he teases others and when he sees them suffer. He enjoys coming up with sadistic games, which involves disgusting homemade food/drink recipe. His favourite hobby is to make others feel not-so-good. I am very sure he could come up with a book titled “101 ways on how to irritate your friends” And in this book; one of the most popular ways is to make your friend feel fat. I heard it works pretty well.
Here’s a secret. My friend is pedophile, or so I suspect. He’s girlfriend is 18 years younger than him! I do not have the full details of the story but I heard he is really sweet and loving towards her. Have yet to hear of any bad reports about their relationship so far.
Horror movies are the only shows that he will watch. Unfortunately his dear friends are anti-horror movies. One of them is an extremist, who gets horribly freaked out by thrillers or maybe action pack movies! So there would be some trouble deciding what movie to watch when they hang out.
He’s nice most of the time yet he can get a little too serious over small matters. He brings much fun and laughter to people around him but his jokes might hurt and you know he don’t mean it. He can be quite accommodating but when he makes up his mind about something, no one can ever change it. He’s even more stubborn than a horse/cow. He is very dedicated to whatever he has to do, be it his studies or relationships. Oh, he has weird photographic memory, which I find it quite unfair. Tsk! That’s why he’s always doing so well academically. He has this amazing talent at handcraft that guys rarely posses and I personally am very impressed with that quality.
Now that’s my friend, Pig, for you.
Thank you for the past year of friendship. Thank you for the times when you made me feels like strangling you as well as for those times when I had a whale of a time laughing and having fun with you. I treasure the friendship that we have! I hope I have been a good enough friend, so much so that when we are in different classes, you will miss my “pats on the back” and my demanding and hard-to-please character to irritate you. Thank you for making my freshman year so much brighter! You’ve been a star! From the bottom of my heart, a gazillion thank you-s!
Wooo.. I think this is the longest post i've ever made. hahah. Thanks for the essay dudes.
