Brits

I have always loved the satirical and dry humour of the British, as have my sister. It must have been her influence :s

Ok, so this one's not from Britain, but it's still so funny!

Am I the only one who feels that the guy in that Live Your Dream ad sang out of tune? Or did I hear wrongly?




I’m feeling rather disgruntled now. This mood swing of yours confuses me so much, I don’t how to read you. Your momentary gloominess affects me.

It was disappointment I felt, and confusion I’m experiencing.

I want to forget everything and concentrate on what I have to do.




I've finished reading Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss.

The story goes like this: One day, a panda walked into a restaurant and ordered his meal. After eating, he drew out a gun, shot in the ceiling and then leaves but not before throwing a piece of paper at the startled shop owner.

The shop owner then saw a highlighted sentence on an article on pandas: "The panda eats, shoots and leaves."

Thus the title.

As you've probably guessed (I hope), it's a book on grammer. I know, most of you will be thinking why on earth would I want to read such a boring book; but it's not boring. If you like dry wit the way only the Brits can achieve, you'll find that it's quite funny.

In the past, I subconsciously stopped myself from using proper English while sms-ing and talking online. Then I decided to use more proper English albeit not ideal.

It's so easy to read something that is written in proper English. Your eyes just go line by line quickly and you don't grimace inwardly at a grammatical error every five words. Meaning comes to you easily and there are no ambiguous sentences causing you to pause in confusion. Words aren't used wrongly and blindly.

I'm often stumped for a reply upon receiving this comment: "wah, you're so hardworking" when some see me reading. Is reading such a chore? Little can replace this hobby for me.

I can't imagine a world without books; without the wonderful fantasies and different worlds that authors weave with their words.

Go read one today. It may take you some time to find an author or even a genre that you like, but I think it's worth it.

Many a time we are so careless with people. We brush past each other for more than a year and do not even know each other's last name. We stick to our own cliques and do not bother to find out more about somebody we see every week. Are people really so unimportant is our lives? Once in a while, I meet a person who is genuinely interested in people and make an effort to talk, to get to know another. That happens like what, once in a blue moon?



I feel like closing down my other blog. It started out as an attempt to spend more of my time on God, but merely updating this blog already takes up my time because I take ages to finish one entry. Even while typing this, a part of me is pulled towards another matter. Perhaps about 5 mins later I'll change my focus and go do the pinwheel instead :\ That's how I am at work too. I have a dozen windows opened at one time and try to complete 4 or 5 tasks together. Multi-tasking? Nah, simply easily bored.

Anyway, I'm not the time to hold on to my feelings on a particular thing long enough to blog about it. Once in a while, I get inspired for a very long entry but it passes quickly.

One of my favourite thing to do during work is chatting with my colleagues! Hahs.

Changes

I have never been one to welcome changes especially if I have been comfortable with the old arrangement. I guess everybody's like that. One main area for me is in people. People come and go; that's just how it is. I just feel uncomfortable with such changes, even more if I have to socialise and accustom myself to a new group. I hate socialising by the way.


Anyway, as you have probably noticed, I've changed the picture above. BUT! the main thing is, I did this HTML from scratch with Dreamweaver! Ok, so using Dreamweaver may not be that much of a from-scratch-thing, and I did refer to my old blogskin once cos the layout's the same, but it's still a huge feat for somebody like me who hasn't touched Dreamweaver since 3 years ago and has been turned off codes due to Visual Basic lessons! I'm so happy with myself! Haha.

However, the loading of the main pic may take a while as it's in PNG format and not JPG. Plus, it's a whooping 20MB. *bleah* My silly comp just couldn't change it to JPG. Oh ya, does anybody know how to take away the navigation bar above?

I just discovered a new ice-cream yesterday!

It is very nice! It has fruit sorbet on one side and cream on the other. YUMS!

Available at all leading supermarkets :)

I had something more detailed typed out, then I read it through, imagined what my friends' reactions would be, and I edited it to something vague and elusive like this:


Maybe I don’t understand, it could be that I am being difficult, or just different; but I’m getting a little irritated with a few of my friends.

Except, it’s me I guess; and not them. There will always be this majority of people, especially pertaining to those of the ‘weaker’ sex, who act like that.

I shan’t carry on; it’s starting to make me look whiney.


On to another topic: I feel really pathetic.
