And I Love Her

Because I'm in a particularly cheesy mood today.

The World is Just Awesome

I LOVE this ad. It makes me feel amazingly happy. And it really makes you go, man, the world is just awesome. Discovery love! =D=D

When you have a fat friend there are no see-saws. Only catapults.

Just watched a couple of videos of this New York standup comedian called Demitri Martin on youtube. Hilarious one-liner type jokes! According to wikipedia, Martin attended Yale and then NYU Law School on full scholarship, then dropped out a year before graduating to pursue a career in comedy. He is also known for showing his ambidextrous talents in performances. His hobbies include constructing palindromes. Intelligent, witty, too-cool-for-school, ambidextrous, geeky hobbies...my kind of guy huh. HAHA. He has to have the skinny geeky white jewish boy thing going on too.

• One of my friends has a stutter and a lot of people think that’s a bad thing, but to me that’s just like starting certain words with a drum roll. That’s not an impediment, that’s suspense! What’s he going to say? Car?? …or Carnival?? …Carburetor!?!? Man…
• “I saw a guy at a party wearing a leather jacket and I thought, ‘That is cool.’ But then I saw another guy wearing a leather vest and I thought, ‘That is not cool’. Then I figured it out: ‘Cool’ is all about leather sleeves.”
• “‘Sort of’ is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It’s just a filler. Sort of - it doesn’t really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like after ‘I love you’ or ‘You’re going to live’ or ‘It’s a boy.’”
• "I was in a store and I saw a pocket dictionary and that made me laugh because it’s such…a specific item. I don’t know that many words and I’m going out…and I have pants. Perfect!”
• “The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.”
• “About a month ago I got a cactus. A week later, it died. I was really depressed because I was like ‘Damn! I am less nurturing than a desert.’ (Ladies, that’s not true)”
• “I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you’d be like ‘Huh? What the hell is this?’, but if it’s in a fruit basket you’re like ‘This is nice!.’”
• “I like clothes, you know. I dig fabrics. One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you’re in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you’re not it does just the opposite. It’s like, ‘Hey, there’s an asshole.’ But when you’re in the woods you’re like, ‘Is there an asshole out here?’ They look like trees.”
• “I wanna make a jigsaw puzzle that’s 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says ‘go outside.’”
• “I like parties, but I don’t like piñatas because the pinata promotes violence against flamboyant animals. Hey, there’s a donkey with some pizzazz. Let’s kick its ass. What I’m trying to say is, don’t make the same Halloween costume mistake that I did.”
• “Saying ‘I’m sorry’ is the same as saying ‘I apologize.’ Except at a funeral.”
• “Some jokes are short and elegant, like a mathematical proof or a midget in a ballgown.”
• “I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything.”
• “I wrapped my Christmas presents early this year, but I used the wrong paper. See, the paper I used said ‘Happy Birthday’ on it. I didn’t want to waste it so I just wrote ‘Jesus’ on it.”
• “I like sports; I like professional football. I like to get to the stadium and see the games live, you know. And I paint my chest before I leave the house. But I don’t have many friends, you know, so I usually just do punctuation and tack on a group already in progress. But sometimes it works out kind of weird because we ended up on TV one time and it said ‘JETS?’”
• A quick way to start a conversation is to say something like “What’s your favorite color?” A quick way to end a conversation is to say something like “What’s your favorite color…person?”
• I used this product called “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.” Because sometimes when I’m having toast I like to be incredulous. “How was breakfast?” “Unbelievable”
• “Employee of the month” is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

After approximately 9 hours...

Last night chan msged me to ask if i could go over and help glue tiny plywood cubes into slightly less tiny plywood cubes. Exciting stuff! The cubes are gonna be glued into a further structure. And if you look closely enough, there's some business going on with the woodgrain. Patterny smarty-pants stuff that i'm too lazy to explain now lol. But basically chan came up with idea --> she's the boss of this project --> i'm the boss' friend!

This is what we managed to achieve. 57 cubes. Suddenly that doesn't sound like a lot anymore chan -___- She needed a total that amounted to thousands, i kid you not. But never mind, it looks like a huge mountain of cubes from here! And it was really fun, i even got one for keeps =D Anytime you need me again, chan =)=)

Oh yes, send us a photo of the finished product, chan!

Noah and the Whale

This video is the mtv for 5 years time by the band Noah and the Whale. Christine sent me this song a few months ago but I only just saw the mtv -- it's rather cute. Love the bright costumes, karaoke words, the cheesy dance moves and the whistling! (reminds of young folks by PBY) They really nailed the whole quirky indie brit-poprock thing. Haha.


Another cute one, 2 Bodies 1 Heart.

Bumper Edition

I'd prefer to refrain from using cliches in this blog, but it's quite apt to begin this post by with the phrase, "Time flies". Can't believe its already the end of week 4...soon it'll be midterm, then exams, then hols, then new term...repeat. Since I have some time now before heading off to nus ucc for chee's dance concert (and having already completed my assignments for the week -- yay productivity), I shall post random pics to chronicle my past few weeks.




Awesome lighting at esplanade's concert hall for the dcfc concert. Funny incident: chris and I spent the bulk of our time laughing at this guy directly in front of me who was very very very high throughout the concert. Like, he kept bobbing up and down quite rigorously and screaming out lyrics at the top of his voice. About halfway thru the thing, i suddenly realise, HOLY SHIT i know that guy! Haha..it was kevin and then the overenthusiasm made so much sense.

Met lotsa jc ppl there, including shib who came up to me and said, "I KNEW I would see you here!" We met up recently and she recalled how i was the one who introed ben gibbert to her. Like years ago when she came over to my place and was looking thru my cd collection. I believe tt was during the whole omg-i-love-seth phase.



The people who have become a gigantic part of my life -- in a scary yet heartwarming way.

Um...these nails only lasted for a few hours on me. I went straight home to take them off. Too bright, too bright...Very pontianak-y.

Friend, may you one day be ready enough to meet THE MENTOR. Haha...the title is Thai Horror Film-worthy. Some people you'll have to wait for, but you will never have to wait for me. LOL. ;)

This was the random spontaneous 3V reunion...cons was there earlier too. Interestingly enough, even without bx being there, she managed to take up quite a substantial amount of our conversation. Above you have future lawyers, doctors, dentists, biz women. We didn't do too bad afterall. Not too shabby. Koh siew yong should be proud.




Word of advice: Never ever go for fish foot therapy. It is a complete waste of money. It was definitely not relaxing, and my foot didnt feel significantly smoother after the session. The first 10 minutes of sitting in the tub was ridiculously tortuous. The feeling of dozens of little fish nibbling at your toes...is not a pleasant feeling. And after a half hour of staring at the tiny fish darting around the pool - I became slightly dizzy and nauseous. We had to take our minds off the queer ticklish sensations by having very insightful conversation about school, friends, love, travel, camping...so on.

Everyone's flying off again. Why so fast!!

What I've been doing in school

Finally have time to post these pictures. It's what we've been doing this term! Dentures, and crowns. Well, we haven't actually gotten to the final product yet, but this is the in between and it's as fun as it looks! =)=)

Jitty and chan came by for lunch =)=) Jitty still looks the same as ever. Once a year is much too little jit!Shiny happy wax =) this entire thing is made of wax, who knew it could get so shiny! Just takes some flaming (<-- dangerous. i've flamed my fingers a coupla times alr, and damn does it hurt), and bit of soap+water. This is on its way to becoming a denture =D=D It's so shiny it already looks like acrylic =DThis is to make a special tray for taking impressions. For making crowns. Reason why i'm showing this, is because aluminium foil is magical! The foil is used to cover the wax base, because the material used to make the special tray sets in an exothermic reaction. Lotsa heat produced, don't want the wax to melt into the special tray and contaminate it. Anyway. When you burnish it and burnish it, the foil turns this dull but white-bright silver, and super smooth, like the kind you get chocolate wrapped in! Super addictive way to spend the afternoon.Then boon found the silicon putty unguarded one morning in lab.Hooked onto the magic of replicating body parts, he realized that a finger was not enough! He had to hide in a corner to do this, cos the blue stuff is really expensive. Lab techs always scold us for taking too much. It's a silicon impression material, we use it to take impressions of teeth and stuff cos it's got good detail etc. Then after that you use it as a mould and pour silky rock (the pink stone thing) or whatever in it to make a cast =OHurhurhur.Lastly, smiley face cookie from david for my birthday! =D=D so cheerful! =D=D Feel happy everybody! =D

BIRTHDAY LOVE

I'm in the middle of an excruciatingly boring and dreadful Finance class now...prof's words are just flying past my ears, so anyway...eggy <3
