HAHAHAHA how cute are these Japanese emoticons? To see a whole amazing and amusing list, click HERE! (My colleague J sent me the link – she loves Japanese things!) Enjoy! ｡◕‿◕｡
This morning, while I was walking through the void deck of a nearby block on my way to the MRT, I saw a mynah pulling out bristles from a natural straw broom lying against a wall. Building its nest, I suppose……
Looking back, I guess I was a pretty good university student…… I never skipped any lectures, although admittedly I was often late for many morning classes. :P
Once in the first semester of my first year (late 2006), I was late for a 10 am tutorial, so I decided to cab from Clementi MRT and ended up taking a taxi with an equally tardy schoolmate, a tall Chinese guy. The very first time I shared a cab with a complete stranger!
During the ride we didn’t talk at all, but I noticed he was reading some Geog level 3000 notes. As we were reaching our destination, the AS3 building at Arts, I wondered how to broach the topic of payment. At that point, he coughed, so I looked at him, and he dropped two $1 coins into my hand, which was half the fare. Somehow, I found his actions rather amusing, and can still remember clearly what he did, although I can no longer recall what he looked like at all.
NB Title of this entry was of course named for the catchy Girls’ Generation song Mr Taxi – you can watch the music video here!
Just went to a money changer to change $150 into Vietnamese currency, and the uncle gave me 2 430 000 dong. Yes, that’s 2.43 million dong. Instant millionaire! :D
Whatever is Candy Crush Saga about? Everyone’s playing it, even the auntie sitting next to me on the MRT. That is, everyone except me! Read reports that describe it as similar to Bejeweled, but I’ve never played that before either! Whatever is Bejeweled about?
I’m currently playing Tetris now (don’t roll your eyes!), but I think I’ll still end up playing Candy Crush eventually, when its popularity is on the wane, just like what I did with Draw Something.
Such is the life of a quasi-Luddite. :P
Was at VivoCity yesterday afternoon when I felt an urgent call of nature and immediately rushed headlong down a corridor into a toilet. The moment I stepped inside, I stopped short: it was full of men! I had gone to the gents by accident! There had been an uncle behind me in the corridor who kept calling out, but I didn’t realize that he had been calling me! Naturally, I beat a hasty retreat and went to the right toilet this time.
This amusing toilet story reminded me of another amusing toilet story which happened when I was very young:
Once, when my family and I were at a library, my late paternal grandma took me the the toilet. Somehow, she carried me up to urinate into this tiny toilet bowl fixed high up on the wall. This incident puzzled me for quite some time as I didn’t understand why the toilet bowl was so oddly positioned and also because I never encountered a toilet with such fixtures ever again. It was only until very much later that I realized that the odd toilet bowl was a urinal and my grandma must’ve brought me to the male toilet! She was illiterate so she had probably been unable to read the sign at its entrance.
Yesterday, Daphne started school again after many years, and her first day consisted of the requisite ice-breaking games.
She was telling Sze Yong and I over Whatsapp that they played ‘weird games’ under the hot sun, and that her class won fourth prize. Then she asked us to guess what the prize was, so I guessed ice cream and tissue paper. And she replied, ‘Sweat like hell and got 4th prize open up its 2carton of glue’!
So I asked what the champion team won, and she answered, ‘All get GLUE!!! / They get MORE GLUE / We two carton / They got 3 carton’. She added that one of her seniors even told her, ‘Wah got glue soooo good our time is pen’!
!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry Daphne, but the whole thing is really quite funny. But maybe it was meant to be a meaningful prize – to glue the class together!!! :D
Friend B, who teaches in a certain boys’ school in the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio area, posted this on his Facebook wall yesterday:
creative writing paragraph of boy whom I had punished for misplacing a worksheet by sending him out of class to copy the whole worksheet by hand:
“Nevertheless, John did regret losing his creative writing piece. The main reason was that he would probably be forced by the evil, dictator-like teacher to stand outside the class, and worst of all, to rewrite it, as many times as the teacher wanted until she was satisfied. Ms Lee was not for softies. In fact, if she had her way, she would declare the school under martial law Kim Jong Il-style for as long as it would take every student to get an A* in every subject. Which is to say, never.”
And his amusing post garnered over 90 likes, including mine! :D
I had just left the office for lunch today when I bumped into our new temporary receptionist, HZ, who just graduated from Victoria Junior College last year and is waiting to enter national service.
He suddenly asked me, ‘How old are you?’
I replied, ‘You guess!’
’19?’
‘I’m 26!’ (Well, almost, anyway.)
‘Wah……’
‘Do I really look 19?’
‘Yes you look like you just graduated from JC!’
Hahahahahaha YAY!!! :D
WISH I WERE A LAZY CAT
AND SNOOZE THE DAY AWAY
(This is a cat I often see snoozing on a bench near my block, when I walk to the MRT every morning.)
Snippet of a Whatsapp conversation with Daphne last night/this morning……
Me: [on Catholic Mass, which I attended one Christmas] Their choir singing sounds like those angels in heaven after u died
Daphne: How u know
We all no die before mah
Me: Oh the movie[s] said so
Spotted on Whatsapp this afternoon……
Sze Yong: 退一步，海阔天空
Daphne: 退一步，掉进垄沟
Sze Yong: Your one much better; you win *horrified scream emoji*
A snippet of a conversation with Daphne on Whatsapp this morning……
Daphne: Me and some p2 [Primary 2] parents chitchating abt schools and clans.. I typo and ask how to join hokkien clams
Me: *thumbs up emoji* good one
Daphne: Lol
Me: I join cantonese oysters
And there are also the Teochew mussels and Hainanese scallops too, I suppose……
So the Pope is resigning due to age and declining health – news that has greatly astounded the world. Whoever knew that a pope could resign?! And indeed, Benedict XVI is the first pope to resign in 600 years (since Gregory XII in 1415).
The Vatican has just announced that Benedict XVI will be known as ‘emeritus pope’ in his retirement and will continue to wear a white cassock. Which amused me greatly, as it was strangely reminiscent of an official called the Emeritus Senior Minister in another tiny country half the globe away.
As Dr NFA aptly put in a Facebook update on her wall today: ‘So the world will soon have an Emeritus Pope. Who will wear white. Clearly, the Vatican City has studied best practices at another small city-state.’
Google this!
(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
