Maybe Drifting will be reserved for this...

Thanks to a moment of brain hibernation, John L'Otter accidentally stumbled upon an actual use for the Drifting label. Long story short, Drifting is now officially a label reserved for snippets of random stuff and some other meatier stuff equally random. Like this.

There's a famous saying. Or a curse depending on whether you're an able minister in times of peace or a crafty hero in times of chaos. One of John's favourite fantasy novels happened to be something written by the late and talented Sir Terry Pratchett entitled Interesting Times. This had to be John's only moment of completing a Discworld novel. It's not exactly John's fault, though. Firstly, John's parents' education level never progressed beyond the GCE'O level because they're born in the wrong era. Secondly, John ended up in the wrong school. As a result, claims of any other student in Gan Eng Seng (Secondary) School managed to read stuff like this or that should be seen as highly questionable. It's not that John was a genius. Rather, he's a sea otter compared to the other river otters. Maybe that's why he became the only Cao Cao in an environment where everybody else was a Liu Bei.

And speaking of Cao Cao, here's a message to all belonging to the class 1H, 2H, and beyond until 1999.

John suddenly remembered Gina, Rachel, Wanting, and Pamela from class 1G and 2G. Then there were also Yufen, Daisy, and Yali from different classes either one year older, a year younger, or two years younger. In Henderson Primary School, there's Lijen. In ITE, there were Cheryl and Sharifah.

During his years at class 2H, Mr Lee got a problem with John. No, not the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Just another Mr Lee unrelated to the Oxlees. Whether it was for real or not... well, John prefers thinking that he might be suffering from depression due to constant bullying starting from primary school.

Enough of past memories resembling (somewhat) that of the King of Yue, Goujian. This comes to mind the question of whether parents in Singapore are truly different from those in the U.S. Your thoughts?
Any misunderstanding involving the SBC is a result of your own LSD, coke, and 'shrooms. Also, SBC stands for Singaporean Born Chinese.

An end to the wrangling?
The husband of Ivy Ng has spoken. Ditto for the MFA's bro. So will it be over soon? Or will Chrisover Daughtry's most famous song become more famous (in Singapore and Malaysia)?


Believe it or not, Dr Mahathir was most likely out to test the 4G leadership more than seeing Singapore as Israel's that other BFF. Going by the signs... yeah, this saga most likely won't last long. A happy ending is VERY possibly on the cards so long agreement can be reached concerning the 2km gap which got the entire Pasir Gudang up in arms. Either both will be resolved or both will remain in a state of 50-50.

Note: If this happens, it means John got lucky. Because his surname isn't Teo/Cheung/Zhang.


Universal rage quit?
If you want to talk about artistic creativity, here's a positive demonstration.

New ideas on new story ideas John mentioned before
Again, let's go back to this. Maybe John can do both at the same time, but it depends on whether meritocracy is just another form of Darwinism. A few more ideas being rolled out.

1. Name of the protagonist is changed to Rios Ua'Corm. His weapon of choice is a hunting spear. As for magic, it's all about runes. Must be those Celtic angmohs. Oh, and Rios seems to be someone fond of blowing things up.

2. Name of another vital character is an old knight honourable but rigid named Leorc Irais. He got a problem, though. And that problem has a name. Refer to point 1.

3. Familiars will be featured prominently. Leorc's familiar is a male lion (gotta be gender specific for visual reasons, no matter how politically incorrect). Rios' familiar is a female crow.

4. The lion's name is Gerwein. The crow's name is Morrig.

5. Familiars do have a human form. If it's a male, be very sure he's gonna be more handsome than G-Dragon and the entire BTS put together, If it's a female, be very sure she's gonna be more beautiful than Park Shin-hye and Black Pink combined.

6. The deadliest aspect of a familiar assuming human form reads something like this video below.

To be fair, the dude responsible for Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru isn't just about Kenshiro.


7. This game is the classic JRPG turn-based retro(?) format. However, there's an important(?) aspect of the gameplay known as seizing ground. Self-explanatory or not, you use your own imagination. Even if you're a Singaporean, it's no excuse.

8. Will there be a female lead? Maybe someone named Claudea Rhead? After all, John needs to come up with a name...

歌いましょう
Stumbled upon this article. Which comes to mind an interesting question: If you have creativity and principles, should people entitle the right to crucify you just because they're offended?

To every self-respecting person of creativity, this is no laughing matter.

And speaking of 歌いましょう, here's a song to end this post. John needs to log in and invoke all his characters in Neverwinter...

Sorry, lyrics translation is currently in a state of 404. And it's not the fault of John L'Otter.
