A Quick Update


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SZE MAY & CHERYL GAN!!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I missed my bus by 3 seconds today. Before I could run to the bus stop, the bus had already turned into the main road. Oh well, will just have to wait for 15 minutes till the next one comes. So I decided to walk over to the bus stop situated farther away since I had nothing to do. While standing there waiting for my bus, I noticed that there was a construction going on on the opposite side of the road. The construction workers were trying to arrange those glass panel thingies (GPTs) along the sides of the building. And as I observed them, I think it took them quite a while (& effort!) to just place 1 GPT together with the rest of the GPTs. It really got me thinking, "What would we do without them? (the construction workers I mean)" No matter how beautifully buildings are designed by architects, without those construction workers, their designs would just be a mere design on paper. I can't help but to admire those construction workers. They pour out so much sweat and effort, yet they're not earning as much as professionals do (correct me if I'm wrong but I think they don't get paid very well).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OK, moving along. I had this really random thought. If we asians are called asians, and those who are of mix heritage are called eurasians, then why are ang mohs called caucasians? There's the word "asians" in it. =S So what does that "cauc-" stand for? Have you ever wondered? Hmm...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh!! Before I forget! OMG...today I almost inhaled a freaking fly!!! I was on the bus talking to a friend and this freaking fly decided that my nostril seemed like a good hideout and it flew straight into (well, it attempted to anyway, i can totally read its mind!) my nostril but hah! Just before it could fly into my nostril, I exhaled with all my might even though I very much wanted to inhale (lack of oxygen). =S Totally disgusting! Argh!

p/s: been really busy preparing for a presentation next tues & 2 assignments due next thurs & fri respectively.

XOXO,
Me

Have you watched Jeff Goldblum's The Fly before? It's a very scary movie. If you're into horror movies, this is one classic you don't want to miss :p

Me? I'm no horror film buff. Horror movies scare the shit outta me and keep me awake at night :p
