Stupidity : A chronicle

Eleanor Rigby :

Eleanor apologises for the long hiatus, but Eleanor has been rather swamped with his/her thrilling double life as a secret agent for the Peoples Republic of China. And Eleanor has been rather ill lately, that didn't help.

Eleanor feels rather worried for our beloved blogger. Eleanor has never heard her say f**k before , unless of course she ran out of shampoo. All you mates out there, send her a card or a sundae, and she'll love you twice as much !

A famous Irish playwright and poet once remarked that "there is no sin except stupidity".
Mr Garrison of South Park once said that "there is no such a thing as a stupid question, only stupid people".

He would know what's stupid and what isn't

And so today, Eleanor will discuss stupidity.

Stupidity exists in many forms.

From watching American sports, to believing that there is no script for wrestling, stupidity exists at all times. It is an incurable sin.The Height of Stupidity

Famous examples of stupidity have occurred during our history.

In 323 b.c., Alexander the Great did not designate an heir to his enormous empire, thus condemning it to utter ruin

In 1942, Adolf Hitler advanced upon Stalingrad and decimated his all dominating German army.

In 1992, Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love.

In 2004, 200 million Americans reelected George Bush to lead them

In 2006, Westlife beat Oasis, U2 , and The Beatles in an album chart battle.

If these aren't damning examples of stupidity at it's best, Eleanor is speechless.

"There is no sin except stupidity"

What is the difference between stupidity and genius then ?
Well, genius has a limit.

Eleanor has had the privilege of meeting many stupid people in his/her life, and it shows. Stupidity is so unique in the sense that we are all prone to moments of stupidity. All of us have probably done something so ridiculously stupid, we could probably only laugh or cry.

Eleanor recommends laughing, crying never helps.


Whether it be the purchase of Pokemon playing cards, a crocked relationship, or even buying a Kylie Minogue album in a drunken rage, it is only human to be stupid, so don't beat yourself up too much about it.
As the above examples illustrate, stupidity is committed by the best of us after all.

In conclusion, it's alright to be stupid. Just as long as we learn from our stupidity, and do it on purpose next time, everything will be just fine.

At least you can tell people you meant it.

There's always someone more stupid out there

Watermelons and Shampoo

Eleanor Rigby:

Eleanor reports that Weishya is still doing well in the jungles of Tuaran, and amazingly, not looking forward to her first weekend as a member ( albeit temporary) of the Malaysian armed forces.

Eleanor feels worried for our beloved shampoo showgirl. Not looking forward to weekends is usually a premature sign of insanity in many cultures.

After making contact again and finding out the happenings in the World of Weishya, Eleanor reports that PLKN has now resorted to giving nametags to its participants. Apparently, nametags are a source of annoyance to our sometimes fussy National Service-woman. ( Hers is yellow)

How unique.

The food situation in Tuaran hasn't exactly improved either. In the words of Weishya herself, " the food has only gotten crappier". Dried up fried fish is simply not her thing.
She has also complained of getting "frowned at" for asking for an extra slice of watermelon.

What a world we live in.

Could dried up fried fish be that bad ?

Unfortunately for her AND us, she'll be staying back during the "ching ming" holidays. To the uninitiated, this is the time of year where the Chinese community pays respects to their ancestors by giving offerings and prayers at the graves of our lost love ones.

Thankfully, she tells me that her shampoo supply still remains healthy, but will definitely inform Eleanor when she is running low. That would be Eleanor's cue to urge all of you out there to reach into your pockets and send some shampoo via air mail to Tuaran.

It'll be worth it in the long run. We wouldn't want her coming back looking like THIS, would we?

It's just not her look

Thats all so far that Eleanor has to report for now. Stay tuned for more updates in the World of Weishya!

The Latest

Eleanor Rigby :

Eleanor reports that Weishya has made contact with Eleanor from the murky jungles of Tuaran. She is doing well, albeit frustrated with a few aspects of PLKN life.

It is only fitting that Eleanor use this blog as a outlet for reporting on the happenings in Weishya's PLKN experience, and as such, this post is dedicated to update those of you who feel bored with Eleanor's musings and are anxious to find out what exactly is happening in the World of Weishya.

For starters, our beloved blogger has issues with the clothing provided by PLKN. Apparently, XL size sweatshirts are handed out for exercise purposes. This WOULD get on the nerves of someone who has the figure to command a bigger salary to wear a miniskirt to sell mp3's.

How incredibly moronic.

We aren't like America where 60% of the population is overweight. We don't eat cheese with everything.
XL shirt for him can lah

Bad news for all you perves out there though, but it IS more proof of incompetent administration in a BN-controlled area.

She has also recently learned the latest " Tepuk thank you". Apparently , its the " in thing" in NS camps nowadays though it pales in comparison to the ever irritating " Tepuk Commando"

Sabahan guys are also awful at courting women. This is a note to all you women out there who wanna go to Sabah to get hooked up. No offence to any Sabahans reading this, but this is merely her personal opinion after all.

Looks like she'll come back single.

But not all is bad in the World of Weishya, it is said in the lore of NS camps, that her camp is the best in Malaysia. After all, they had mutton for lunch. A cause for celebration if i ever saw one.

Vegetables remain disgusting though.Vegetables are NOT food

Unfortunately for her, marching and awfully dull "ceramahs" usually fill her day. I suppose this is to aid her in the long run. How though, Eleanor will never know.

Watching Sabahan girls " drop hair like dead cells" also scares her into keeping a close eye on her shampoo collection and throws her into a sense of confusion as to how such pretty girls could lose so much hair. Again, please do not take offence to this as it is merely an observation aimed at inducing a sense of humour.
They want/need this bad

She also has other gripes regarding many aspects of PLKN life, but these gripes might have a tendency to arouse the sensitivities of certain people and as such will not be posted up. Eleanor likes to remain alive and breathing. And so does Weishya for that matter.

Last but not least, she has also made an acquaintance with a frog in the toilet. Screaming the whole building down seemed like an appropriate response at the time.Eleanor would scream too

I suppose it would be frightening.



Eleanor supposes that all you readers out there miss our dearest Shya, and wish for her return as soon as possible.

Eleanor will continue to update all you friends out there who are anxious to know about her NS experience whenever the reception is Tuaran permits text messaging.

P.S.: To Joey, she wants her sundae

The Importance of Being Idle

Eleanor Rigby:

A notable Irish playwright and poet once commented that "hard work is simply the refuge of people who have nothing whatever to do".

And as such, it is the theme of Eleanor's musings today that hard work is unnecessary in the attainment of success.

A wise man once told Eleanor that,

sleep = rest
rest = energy
energy = ability to study
ability to study = success

Hence, sleep = success

True, this might not make sense on so many levels, but isn't sloth just so wonderful at times ?

Romario never attended training as a player but continued to terrorize defenders worldwide.

Winston Churchill merely drank his way through World War 2, and the Allies still won.

Paris Hilton merely showcases her bimbo-ness every once in a while for publicity ( and fame).

Barisan Nasional..... No comment

The Japanese work incredibly hard, but in today's newspaper, 25% of married Japanese couples have not had sex in the past year. Success, you say ?

It is rather obvious that an alternative path to success is sloth.
Being lazy is NOT a crime, it is merely a way of life. And sometimes an irritating habit.

AND SO, Eleanor urges all you hardworking souls out there to throw down the books, turn off your desktops, start lazing around and stop to smell the roses!

After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.




So remember people, when your parents tell you that working hard is necessary, that laziness is a sin, BELIEVE THEM NOT!

Laziness is perfectly alright.

Monkey-ing Around

Eleanor Rigby :

Early reports from Tuaran suggests that our dearly missed blogger is doing well, albeit frustrated with the inefficiency which has become a trademark of Malaysian administration.

Eleanor wonders if Weishya will meet a monkey.....

Eleanor has always wanted a pet monkey. Even since Eleanor has begun watching The Simpsons, dreams and fantasies of having a pet monkey dressed in a tutu playing the cymbals have been a constant attendant in Eleanor's dreams.

Now, before all you animal activists up there get your panties up in a bunch, consider the thought for a moment , and ask yourself.

Are hamsters really that interesting compared to monkeys with cymbals ?

Are cats really worth all the trouble that they are compared to an instrument toting monkey?

They could probably even earn you a buck or two if you needed it.

If only monkeys and other primates weren't such aggressive carriers for AIDS, Eleanor is sure that an illegal pet monkey trade would take over the world. Monkeys would be the new black. Pokemon wouldn't stand a chance.

But then again, the Japs would probably come up with a way to market Japanese monkeys to kids, fully equipped with the latest nonsensical gadgets to make them more "monkey-ish". Bananas sold separately.



Domo arigato mofos.

In fact, if the Infinite Monkey Theorem has any logical basis whatsoever, getting a monkey wouldn't seem like a such a bad idea after all. Imagine a Monkey Potter, or a Lord of the Monkeys.
