A snippet of a Whatsapp conversation with Daphne just after midnight yesterday morning……
Daphne: Sigh now still doing homework
Me: Do you feel like 16 again
Daphne: Nope
I feel like 10
Me: !!!
Daphne: Haha
Sigh tonnes of homework not done yet
Me: 原来做功课竟然有返老还童的作用 [So doing homework has the effect of making one younger]
PS So everyone, please do more homework! :P
Early this afternoon, I was on the MRT rushing to Chinatown to meet Karen, and posted a message on a thread in a local online forum I frequent, asking how to be more punctual for appointments. :P
Some time later fellow user Tortoise79 replied:
Postpone your appointment to the estimated time you will reach. For example, you make an appointment at 3pm and when you are on the way to meet your friend, text them that appointment has been change to 4pm. You reach there at 3.45pm and you are early.
Saturday afternoon teaser… don’t ever try.
To be honest, that is quite a good idea actually! :P
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
Snippet of a Whatsapp conversation with Daphne last night/this morning……

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

Daphne: Lol

And there are also the Teochew mussels and Hainanese scallops too, I suppose……
I realized some of my friends actually research phones whenever it’s time to get new ones. As for me, I’ve never done that ever.
I just use and use and use my phones for years. (Got my first phone in upper secondary – it was a Panasonic GD75 and shared with my sister. Since then I’ve had a Sony Ericsson K700 and a Nokia 5320 XpressMusic, and I’m currently using a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830. (What were the phones you’ve had?) That works out to be approximately one phone every 2.5 years, which does seem like an eternity in this fast-paced age.) When they’ve become really cui, it’s time to change phones!
Without doing any prior research, I just go to the SingTel store, change my plan and see which phones I can get for the least amount of money, or better still, free! Then I choose the nicest one. LOL. Clearly, I’m not a techie person!
But I suppose this method works for me as I’m not fussy about phones. As long as they have all the essential basic functions, I’m good to go!
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

If you’re bored and have a little time to spare……
First, go to Google and search ’tilt’.
Then, search ‘do a barrel roll’.
Lastly, search ‘zerg rush’.
Wasn’t that fun? :D
These hidden functions are called ‘Easter eggs‘.

Check out these two interesting posts from the Oxford University Press’ (which publishes Oxford Dictionaries) blog: on the UK Word of the Year, omnishambles, and the US one, gif!
Gif is America’s word of the year? Now that’s what I call an omnishambles
Unlike their UK cousins, who named ‘omnishambles’ word of the year, OUP’s noun-to-verb US lexicographers are unconvincing
Alison Flood
I rather like the idea of a word of the year. We have a sports personality of the year, after all, and I like words better than sport, so why not?
I approve, as well, Oxford University Press’s choice of “omnishambles” to take the title: not only was it coined by the brilliant The Thick of It, but it has a surprisingly useful meaning – “a word used to describe a comprehensively mismanaged situation, characterised by a shambolic string of blunders”, says OUP – and a lovely ring to it.
It is rather interesting to note that Oxford Dictionaries typically chooses separate British and American Words of the Year. But I suppose that is unsurprising, given that ‘England and America are two countries separated by the same language’ (a quote often attributed to George Bernard Shaw)! :)
Oxford chooses ‘omnishambles’ as word of the year
Jill Lawless
LONDON (AP) — Britain’s media are in a meltdown and its government is gaffe-prone, so Oxford Dictionaries has chosen an apt Word of the Year: “omnishambles.”
Oxford University Press on Tuesday crowned the word – defined as “a situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders and miscalculations” – its top term of 2012.
Each year Oxford University Press tracks how the English language is changing and chooses a word that best reflects the mood of the year. The publisher typically chooses separate British and American winners. This year’s American champion is “gif,” short for graphics interchange format, a common format for images on the Internet.
This morning, Daphne told me via MSN: ‘eh i was looking a a youtube abt a girl showing how to force cleavage’, and I replied that she didn’t need it, haha!
Which reminded me that ‘太平公主‘ is used as a euphemism to describe females who are flat. And I realized that there isn’t an equivalent term for the bustier ones, so I quickly did a bit of googling and came up with…… *drum roll* ‘升平公主‘!!!
Obviously a 太平公主 can become a 升平公主, but those who are forever flat can then call themselves ‘长平公主‘! HAHAHA. :P
