wax nonsensical

just received this in my mail and thought it was hilarious:

Lim Ah Lek was asked to make a story using the numerals 1 to 10. He not only did that, he even managed to go back from 10 to 1. Here's what he said:

1 day i went 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep, but the man inside saw me and i 4 down. he came out and wanted to 5 with me so i ran and ran and ran until i felt 6 and threw up. so i went to 7 eleven to take some 8 to throw at him. then i took a 9 to try and stab him. 10 god he ran away.
so i put back the 9 and paid for the 8 and left 7 eleven. at home, i called my boss and told him i was 6. he said 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. he also said why don't you climb a 3 and jump down.
i don't understand, i so nice 2 him but i don't know what he 1!

heh. this extremely enlightening example illustrates how advanced our numerals and linguistics have progressed beyond those complacent Europeans who never seek to innovate with the English Language, haha! and i do think mr lim ah lek is a wonderfully refreshing guy. :)

am in a holidayish mood cos my aunt trooped up to our house and the brethren of 3 ah-sohs (i.e. me, my mum and my aunt) spent 3hrs brooding animatedly over which Bangkok hotel's the cheapest, has no supernatural manifestations and is closest to Chinatown haha :) in the end we decided on Baiyoke Sky Hotel, 88 storeys overlooking Chinatown (hurhurhur) and purportedly has no wailing willies lurking behind the TV. heh :D

today as i cleaned the cage i realised that Dommy's eye affliction's come back, and Jacky has developed an extremely worrying condition which i dunno what. it's sort of a tumour-ish growth on his frontal paws but it doesn't hurt him. didn't notice that a week ago! and doesn't seem to be fight-inflicted. my heart hurt very much to see the red stuff... but my mum's adamant that we not go to a vet. sigh. will consult my brother (after all Jacky's his) before i decide. anyway i know thomson has lots of vets.

also i realised that i've received 2 advertisement mails from matchmaking agencies in my mail. it INSINUATES something OMINOUS! (sulks) sigh it's a bit too early, what? at least give me another year to prove myself before condemning me to SDU, lah. i wonder where they got my account. i certainly don't remember ticking the "single and desperate" column under my profile.

maybe i ought to get another address before the whole North Sea worth of matchmaking ads flood this one haha :D

heh. ooooh suddenly realised it's been ages since i composed a poem! too preoccupied being a hypochondraic what with all my paranoia about my ticking time bomb body eh? alrighty! no more moody broody sicko thoughts... haha. Yesterday i had a great time with yuwei and huiwen at k box! we sang soooooooooooo many songs and i realised i only knew the guy songs heh. huiwen was like, "Hey serene how come you only like to sing the guys ones?" and i just googled my eyes stupefiedly at her revelation :) well cos i can't hit the high notes. there was one FIR song that huiwen sang beautifully (think she has the best voice among us 3) and i just had to plunge in at the chorus and kill the song haha :D oh well the tune was infectious... *trails off sheepishly*

well i also screwed up Hoobastank's The Reason - Serene's version was more like The Punishment by ReallyStank. :P heh i was expecting the system to malfunction after i passionately rendered the last quavering note haha :P

k box is soooooo fun! lol. must drag out more people to k-box with me next time :)
