Today I stumbled upon an old old MSN conversation archive. One year and one month old to be exact. It was a mass conversation comprising of mostly Class Of 2003 Josephians, with a special appearance by Ben Loo who's a Josephian "by blood" (or so some said). There were more than 10 people in the conversation, but I knew only a fraction of them. Apparently something big was happening. What exactly?
SJI EMERGENCY MEETING. THEY PUTTING GIRLS IN SJI. DO SOMTHING JOSEPHIANS!
That sparked quite a commotion in the chat window. Some reactions...
"what the fork man"
"why the hell does sji wanna buy chij"
"sji buying a part of chij or sometink"
"169million. we are buying out every single chij toa payoh shares"
"its a bloody crime i say"
"crime?!?! ITS BLASPHEMY!! *** IS AN INFIDEL!" (names are censored for obvious reasons)
Apparently, there was some news article on the SJI OBA website claiming that SJI was going co-ed with some girls school, probably IJ or something. It was dated 1st April (April Fool's Day) and I was pretty sure it was all a hoax. But the cursings continued...
"blow the ij ppl away"
"IJ SUCKS!"
"FARK CHIJ"
"fuck you ij rocks."
"crescent better."
"NABEI sji so rich"
"FUCK SJI LAH"
So they kept on thinking of ideas on how to prevent this "disaster" from happening...
"eh relax relax lets discuss this calmly"
"stage a revolution"
"ask ** come back to singapore to fight for us"
"we need that **** to write a book about why SJI should not have girls"
"dammit. you all know we cant do anything to stop lui"
"can.. we burn sji first"
"toilet bowl bomb so when he shits..."
"or car bomb"
"irony in the fact that we're trying to SAVE sji."
"go there tell him put his cunt in a can la" (you won't get it)
"how bout we take over the school."
"we make *** wear chij uni.. den parade him around sji"
"hey can someone do a online petition thing?"
"it won't work la"
"i bet this time all josephians will wanna sign"
In the process of all that, Josephians, being the usual sort they are, kept on digressing and drifting from the case at hand. Usually some would get angry, urging everyone to get back on topic, but after a while join in the conversation. One instance started with one question.
"u all got *****'s letter right?"
"nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
"what letter?"
"no"
"wad letter?"
"some stupid thing"
"what letter"
"what letter?"
"wad motherfucking letter"
"i never get leh tmd"
"i throw away liao"
"the letter abt the sji forum"
"wad letter??"
"WAD LETTER"
"saying wad"
"about mass orgy at PAC"
Then another question sparked off another totally irrelevant and stupid conversation.
"ehh... i in OZ leh.. how to recieve anything?"
"me in OZ too"
"whats OZ"
"need to pay $$$ to go right"
"OZ? aussie?"
"new zealand"
"OZ = aussie"
"no.. alice in wonderland"
"AU la OZ. what stupid cocks."
"OZ = AU = aussie = ozzie"
"there's no O and Z in australia la wtf"
"what has australia been teaching u all"
"its OZ or AUS la cock heads"
And then...
"isnt supposed to be like 3-4 in oz now?"
"its 2am in brisbane"
"its midnight in singapore"
"its 11:58 in choa chu kang"
"it's 11.58 in yio chu kang"
"1.58am on eastern coast"
"it's 11.59 in west coast"
"11.59 at marine parade"
"00.01 in farrer road"
"hoho i'm on a sunday! slow pokes!"
"its saturday in places that count."
"sunday."
"shit. reminds me of the sji boy."
"what sji boy"
And when we do try to stop digressing...
"OIII DIGRESSING."
"aiayh can get bac to the matter"
"whats the matter"
"dick head.. nazi helmet or wadeva"
"letter ppl.."
"what cartoon's on tomorrow morning ah?"
Actually there is more to paste for you to see, but unfortunately the content is too unsuitable for a place like this. Maybe another time then... Anyway, since that day, nothing was said about this matter, neither was there any follow up on the issue on the website or newspapers or whatever. Well, at least we had a rather interesting conversation initiated by a lame April Fool's Day joke. Hah.
One more thing before I go. Is it just this one, or do all goldfish usually do something like this?

DO FISHES HIBERNATE? IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR HOURS.
