Engrish!

Was feeling bored. So decided to entertain myself. Typed in Engrish in the search engine. Came across a website. Nearly laughed my head off. These are my favourites.

The rat

My dad just caught a rat. I'm not sure whether it's the same one I saw galloping (it was abviously too fat to be running) across the porch. It looked a little smaller than the one I saw. I watched my dad torture it by pouring boiling water on it (my mum called it an execution). YEOUCH!!!! That's gotta hurt! I feel sorry for it now. If rats ruled the world and humans were at their mercy, I wouldn't want to be poured over with boiling water.
Was thinking about this last night before I fell asleep. "Why do babies cry at birth?"
Found the answers at Yahoo! Answers.
The best answer was:
actually most babies don't cry at birth. The doctors like to stimulate them to cry though because it helps to inflate and epand their lungs with their first tastes of air. Crying is a quick way to suck in alot of air and spread oxygen quickly throughout your body.

However, I liked this answer better:
Mostly because they get turned upside down and get given a smack on the bum, doctors do this to get them to breath and a sign that they are alive. Babies are normally given a smack to help get them to breath with their mouths. Truth is no-one has ever had the chance to ask a baby why, cause they can't talk at birth, but that is the most logical answer.

Botak, oh botak

Botak went beyond his 無聊-ness today. There was this one tutorial question which asked for the advantages and disadvantages of e-catalogues. So he divided the class into sub groups to have discussions. Then after about 10 minutes or so he asked a representative from each group that were doing the advantages part to go to the front of the class. He then asked them to form a circle and asked them to "Lat tali lat tali tam plom". The "losers" had to present their answers. Lei Ye said that he must be going through his second childhood. That's pretty early. Haha. Yeah chi, even June Ann thinks that he thinks he's very funny when we're actually laughing at his lameness, not his jokes.

Looking forward to Thursday, next week. My off day! I finally get a day off from college for the 3-month period of June-August. Yay! After that, no more. =~(

I'm 21.....

Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeee!!!! Am 21 but I think my mind is still of a 12-year-old. Haha. Woke up at 3.30 pm today. Terrible me. Yeah Rach, I am a fatty. I can't help it.
Went to Dragon-i to eat. Ok lah, the food. Walked around One Utama then had Baskin Robbins. Yum! But too bad they didn't have that many flavours available.

Yesterday, 24th June 2006 (Saturday).

Went to the orthodontist in the morning. She said I'll have to keep my expander in for 6 months. I'm not too sure whether that meant another 6 more months or 6 months in total. Hmmm......I hope it meant 6 months in total. She said she had to twist two of my teeth which seem "twisted in the wrong way". Yikes! So she put in buttons and more rubber bands.

The rest of the afternoon was raining. Was getting ready for the barbecue at night. Went to Gor-ee's house at 2-something. My sister and I had to peel corn, cut apples & strawberries. I was in charge of peeling and "breaking" the corn. Didn't turn out too well so my Gor-ee told her maid to do it since I was too slow. Haha. Luckily my mum wasn't there or else I'd be told to go out of the kitchen.

The rain only stopped at around 4-something. But it was drizzling on and off the whole night. Lucky thing there wasn't a downpour.

So, the barbecue went well, so did the chocolate fondue. Yay! Thanks for the company last night, my dear family and friends, June Ann, Chou Ti, Thian Liyn, Sook Peng, Pey Tzy & boyfriend, Sa, Tine, Chan Sze, Rachel Teh, Cindy (nice to have met you!), Amanda, May Syn, Kiran, Cathy and Shet Yee. I had a wonderful 21st birthday. Gor-ee & Uncle Chin Kee, thanks for lending your place last night. Mum & dad, thanks so much for the resources (hehehe)! Love y'all!

Family! The best thing anyone could have.

And not forgetting, friends!

Cakey! Yum!

비, 생일 축하합니다!

Went to lepak

Caught up with two secondary school friends, Nisa and Christine, whom I've not seen for two years. Man, it's been THAT long since I last saw them. Well, I can't help it since one is studying in Johor and the other in Canada. Went to Mid Valley to lepak. Both of them are on break and I am the one who has just started college. Sux.
So, when are we going to Genting, Sa? Tine? I need a break from whatever I'm doing now.

Wore these high heels for the first (and will be the last) time. Stupid things are not for walking. Learnt my lesson. Will continue wearing flatties in future. I have no idea how people can actually walk in heels while shopping. They HURT! By 3 p.m., I was practically dragging my feet, not walking.

Finally found some marshmallows after much searching. The trusted wholesaler had lots! But I'm not too sure if those can be barbecued. They didn't look quite barbecue-able. Was wondering whether cotton candies can be barbecued then I could use them instead of marshmallows. Was a thought, don't think it'll work.

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies!!!

Moral

Moral. Why do we have to study it? I never got the objective of learning the moral theories while not much emphasis is placed on the practicing these theories. Isn't the importance of moral for people to "have" moral values and practice them? Currently, in moral, we are learning seriously ridiculous theories which we would have to memorize for exam purposes. We're learning theories like Utilitarianisme (Utilitarianism), Egosim Etika (Ethical Egoism) and Eksistensialisme (Existentialism). Sigh. What's with the long words? Why not use the name Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? What if I created a theory, named it something stupid, and made you study & memorize it? You wouldn't be too happy, right?
Other silly subjects include geography and history. Whoever thought up these subjects want to make people's lives miserable.

No tax (hopefully)

I have decided to not take Paper 3.2 and take Paper 3.4 instead. I just had this sudden thought during this morning's lecture that taking Paper 3.2 would be extremely stressful on myself (must've been something my lecturer said which made me think such a thought). Seems like a sudden (and maybe rash) decision but I hope that I've made the right decision in dropping the paper. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my programme supervisor, who happens to be the Paper 3.2 lecturer (), will approve the change. Well, he said he'll let me know tomorrow, so fingers crossed! I'm currently really pessimistic about whether I'll be allowed to change my option. It's kinda funny 'cos I when the semester started I really wanted to take tax. My interest for the subject IS there but I doubt I can cope, not with a lousy lecturer and the confusion I currently have. And Chou Ti, thanks for telling Thian Liyn not to kacau me.
Looks like I'll have to wake up at 5.45 a.m. everyday except Wednesdays (the only weekday I can wake up at 6.00 a.m.).

Communication prob

Was walking to the LRT station from college after class. A girl was walking in front of me and she suddenly stopped and asked me something in Mandarin. She said some gibberish so I asked her if she could speak English as all I could catch was the word "Melati". She tried, but in the end she ended up talking in BM to me. Mind you, she's a TARC student. She asked about something with 2-storeys(?). So I asked whether she meant the LRT station and she said, yeah. I showed her that it was just straight ahead and told her that she could follow me since I was heading to the station. She said OK and followed me. Halfway, I turned around to see if she was still following me but she was no where in sight. I think she didn't mean the LRT station. Maybe she meant a house. I wasn't too sure. It's kinda sad that I don't understand Mandarin and she couldn't understand what I said. Miscommunication. A common thing between a duck and a chicken!

Am currently drooling over the new Sony Ericsson phone, the W850i, though I still love the W800i. The white looks better than the black. Coming soon!

Missing

I have lost a pair of jeans. I wonder where it's gotten to. It's not with me, not with my sister, not with my brother, not on my mother's sewing table (well, she might have cut it up to make a bag), not in the laundry basket, nowhere in sight! The case of the missing jeans. Seems to be the same case as the T-shirt my sister lost a long time ago. They seem to have mysteriously disappeared (into thin air?).

Excuse me while I do a little rant about my Advanced Taxation lecturer. The man, like the BIM lecturer, is crap. This shows that TARC has a few crappy lecturers who do not know how to teach. My tax lecturer is both boring and confusing. I believe that his best teaching ability is to confuse the students who are already confused. Haha. Yes, I'm a confused student. Now I don't have a cursing partner for tax as Lei Ye, who told me that we should not change our decisions, has changed her mind and decided to drop tax and take BIM. Unless I try having Thian Liyn as my cursing partner but the guy isn't much fun. *sigh* I guess now my sister would be the one who'll be getting most of my tax lecture complaints since she has been under the same lecturer last year. It's bad news for her 'cos I'm FULL of complaints.

Believe it or not, I've had McDonald's Spicy Chicken McNuggets for dinner for 3 consecutive days. Jelak? Not yet. Well, McDonald's is always the easiest option when one has no idea what to eat.

Didn't think of updating my blog due to laziness but have done so at sister's request.

Jon, Good Luck for your interview! May your ulcer disappear soon (but like I was telling Rach, burst it if burstable, or bite it....I'm serious & not gross....haha).
