Encountered this sign in the Men's toilet in
BARSTOP. Rather interesting, since they put it up over EACH urinal instead of on the wall or door, it tells me that the management wants:
(1) me to wait for someone else to show up so that both of us can piss into the SINGLE urinal at the same time (hence the plural in 'dear sirs' and the fact that the signs are up over
each urinal), and
(2) us (that is, the TWO of us) to piss into basins, and since those are being upgraded, we're more than welcome to whip out our
Alabamas and decant our bladdered wine into the sink at the bar.
Preman and I told the waiter how amusing the signs were, and he said "oh haha ya we're upgrading so you have to use the sink at the bar here." ... Can you hear the
whoooosh going over his head? No surprises that a four-letter word came to my mind...
COCK!
Anyway,
Andrea my darling tau POK asked me to put up a nice photo of us so here it is. So cute right?? As usual, I look constipated. Kekekeke... *wink*

"God is Love. Love is not god."
I found this quote quite interesting and wanted to blog about it extensively and how it pertains to human perceptions of love, and the "realness" of God's love, but then i got distracted (and i'm sure some of you will want to thank me - oh thank goodness he's not going to ramble on about god again) when i saw this picture. I thought to myself, hmmm... maybe....

hahahaha! got into the office and laughed my head off. Stupid Daniel Soongonnabiteit! Was looking at the forum for our sc1201 course that we're teaching, and a student asked some questions about the citation format. And Mr Soon created some imaginary examples using some members of the department... hahahah it's an inside joke lah, especially with regards to the article I "wrote"... cos someone we know likes to make the a certain
oOoorh sound in the pub and we find it very... amusing.

Malaysia to levy fines for poor speech
Thu Oct 5, 7:52 AM ET
Malaysia will levy fines on those incorrectly using the national language, and will set up a specialized division to weed out offenders who mix Malay with English, news reports said Thursday.
Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Rais Yatim said fines of up to 1,000 ringgit ($271) can be imposed on displays with any wrong or mutated form of Malay, the Star newspaper reported.
The move was to ensure "the national language was not sidelined in any way," Rais said, according to The Star.
Fines will be imposed after a first warning, the national news agency Bernama quoted Rais as saying.
Most Malaysians speak Malay, also known as Bahasa Malaysia, while English is widely spoken but a mutated form, known as "Manglish" — a mishmash of English, Malay and other local dialects is commonly used in the Southeast Asian nation.
The government will attempt to swap commonly used English language words with Malay substitutes, The Star said.
"It has to be admitted that a mixture of Bahasa Malaysia and English sometimes cannot be helped, but we hope these measures can arrest the decline," Rais said, according to The Star.
He said a national language unit will be set up in an attempt to reduce the English-Malay mix, especially at official functions.
An official at Rais' ministry, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed his comments as reported.
Critics have said Malaysia's decision to sideline English in favor of Malay is hurting its global competitiveness level and a downward spiral in English language standards among students.

So i was on the train today and a whole group of schoolgirls came into the carriage. Now, you see 6 young schoolgirls, and you think what? noise, right? Then i realised that these were the most quiet schoolgirls i've ever encountered on the MRT. And that's when i noticed their hearing aids and the fact that they were signing to each other. Oh how i wish all
yabitty schoolgirls were deaf and dumb.
But i digress. I kept wondering: how would someone go about dating a deaf and dumb girl? And what if he couldn't sign and had to write to communicate? Would that relationship skip past all the superficial and go straight into no nonsense intimacy and love? Cos i mean, the guy won't be able to verbally flirt with her, nor be impressively heard, nor be woo-ed by his nice singing voice or funny jokes. Or would things actually just be all lust and sex because they can't communicate and most likely what attracted them to each other was the physical in the first place?
Or would that just be impossible in the first place? That a d&d girl can effectively only go out with a d&d guy, or stay single for the rest of his or her natural life?
Just another random thought.
...whooooosh!
Hey LIONEL HOW, this one is for YOU! wahahahahaha!
