8.40am
oh no! i didn't bring my hp to work today!!!!! :( :( :( that is a sure sign of disaster - inability to keep awake the whole day.
LUCKILY, rui yun won't be around today ;D hehheh.. she's my manager(ie.boss), so perhaps i'll be able to otherwise occupy myself when i begin to fall asleep, haha. That prob means multiple inane blogposts today; thank you blog, for keeping me company =)
9.10am
it's only been half an hr and i'm already suffering from handphone withdrawal!! My hands feel breft so the only other way to occupy it (when attempting to wake up) is to type! arrrrrrrhhh........ and i had so many ppl to msg today!! Porshee - to ask if he wants to msg entirely in spanish (haha); Cai Fong - to wish him happy birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CF!!); Claire (fr salsa2 who msged me last night asking if i want to go union this fri) - to tell her i'm not sure yet n ask if she'd like to go Brix on sunday instead; Yong Kim - to tell him, yes, i am free this wkend, why; & Marcus, to ask if he received my bday card. Now i've resorted to simply listing them out on my blog... :( :(
10.30am
Sunday night was really funny (before they left and i fell into gloom). Eddie had spent the entire day at the super mario workshop and he was absolutely fantastic! I swear, he improved tremendously at tt workshop coz i don't remember him doing all those coooolll moves the friday two days before :D being the super nice guy and budding teacher that he is, Eddie freely showed the guys what he learnt (ken n porshee seriously should have gone man), one of which was isolation. Eddie's basic is different frm Luther's in that Luther places more emphasis on the arms while Eddie, on the chest. Ken n porshee, naturally, tried to follow, with varying results. Somehow or other, they all ended up doing the shimmy, which was hilarious! Porshee can shimmy (more or less), but he absolutely cannot isolate his chest fr his hips... So everytime his chest shakes, his butt does too!!! *doubles over laughing* it was so cute! And kenneth... Kenneth was the ultimate! He could shake anything and everything! Non-stop!! He just went on shaking and shaking and shaking, it's like a new twist to that carlsberg advert where the ppl can't stop moving ;D Haha! Brenda was like, "he's gonna forget himself and start walking around like that." And i was just thinking that he could become a just for laughs performer! Like, attach bells to different parts of his body and play different songs!! hahahahahahaha... Ken, if you're reading this, here's a new musical hobby for u to take up. It's like a one-man version of the RGS bells choir (whatever it's called) *GRINZ* Delia was there throughout (for once!) and she can't wait for them to come back again so she can watch! =D
heehee... i love friends~
12pm
For anyone who is bored, i HIGHLY recommend this site: Bored.com - i can't access a lot of it coz my internet is filtered (eg.games etc), but there're other funny/interesting stuff for the idle surfer. I got this fr GoodQuotes.com:
Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’? Yes it is ;)
2.30pm
Lunch break is over.. :( actually, w/o my handphone, lunchbreak is kinda borriinng... esp since i've finished e book tt i was reading last night. So all i did was nap, eat (totally unnecessary but done out of boredom), call li (who hasn't called me in i dunno how long!) and go out to buy a book -> also unnecessary since i have at least 3 bks at home tt i bought but have yet to read, and also coz i'll b going to the times warehouse sale this wkend. Waste of money... *sigh*
Why did the chicken cross the road??
Darwin's Answer: "Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads."
Moses's Answer: "And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing."
Machiavelli's Answer: "So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained."
George Bush's Answer: "We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here."
Bill Gates' Answer: "I have just released eChicken 2003, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook - and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken."
Ernest Hemingway's Answer: "To die. In the rain. Alone."
Grandpa's Answer: "In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us."
Saddam Hussein's Answer: "This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified indropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it."
L.A.P.D.'s Answer: "Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out."
The Pope's Answer: "That is only for God to know."
Colonel Sanders' Answer: "I missed one?" (my favorite)
Funny oxymorons:
~Microsoft Works (haha) ~Virtual Reality (good one!) ~Peace Force ~Same Difference ~alone together ~Government organization (lol.)
3.45pm
Okay i know that didn't take long, but i'm bored again!!!!! Sigh... Managed to go through the page of pronunciations for spanish, but not sure how much I remember :p
Here are a few good websites... 1) StudySpanish.com - has pronunciation guide, audio help, vocab, grammer etc. 2) Lingolex - has different phrases, words, pronunciation guide n lots more interesting looking stuff! 3) BBC - looks really organized, but i haven't tried it yet.. 4) E.L. Easton - this one's got quizzes, exercises and diff categories. Haven't tried it either but looks good :)
Hmm.. Thought of typing entirely in spanish with the wonderful help of babelfish, but that'll be dumb right? haha.
5.10pm
Which is worse: Going out with a guy and making a bad impression your date, or him not asking you out at all?
