McFlurry

Before we move on with our 'person who has a blog(i don't like calling myself a blogger)-reader' relationship, i feel that there is something i must confess. I'm putting my reputation on the line here, but i feel is something i have to say. You may look at me differently after this, but this a risk i have to take. So here goes:

I'm a fan of Hugh Grant movies

Not necessarily the actor himself, it's just that there's something about British humour that amuses me more than anything. It's different from the American humour, which mostly rely on slapstick anyways. Most British movies (or movies with British people in it) i watch just have this brand of humour, which is pretty hard to explain. And most of 'em has Hugh Grant in it. Hence the statement above. What inspired this confession/moment of madness? I just watched Music and Lyrics on HBO, and i thought the dude was funny. And i kinda like the song they composed in the movie. Corny, i know. Don't tell anyone.

I've been pretty sick lately, and when i get sick it comes in a package. No no, i can't just have the flu, or the cough, or the headache, or the fever. No, i have to have 'em all. Strangely enough, all these symptoms arose just as work was picking up. Which, after all my years studying engineering has taught me, led me to conclude that i just might be allergic to work! No seriously. I just start work and bam! I fall sick. I wasn't sick when i went to Penang or Malacca for my holidays. I wasn't sick when i was out clubbing or yamcha-ing. When there's work? Sick. I wonder if it's like a real condition with real diagnosis and all.

My semester break's coming. If you can call it that. During the "break", i've got 3 days of classes AND a test. Plus there're assignments and reports and final year project stuff to work on. But knowing me, i'll probably think 'bout the work, get stressed and hang out with friends to de-stress.. while work remains untouched. Pray that i change. The only upside to the holiday week is that my parents may be goin' off to Singapore to visit their school friends (innocent-but-kinda-not-really grin).

I've been hanging out a whole lot with a bunch of people lately, and it's been fun just doin' nothing. Then there were the gatherings at the parks and the hanging out with the cops and the falling on the ramp stuff. I shall not divulge anything, 'cause you had to be there to know it. But i'll say that it's pretty impressive when someone can fall and pose at the same time when he/she(not saying who) is drunk-ish high. Anyways the downside of all the hanging out is that i'm growing a friggin' belly! Maybe it's the mini beer-fest we had. Or the complete abandonment of sports. Or the late night meals. Or the nights sitting in front of the computer in the lab/at home, stopping only to pee or eat. Whatever it is, the belly's agrowing.

I feel like i have to explain the title of this post. I always think long and hard about my titles, trying to make it as interesting as i can. So i thought, "what's the post about?" only to find that it's a whole bunch of nothing's. So then i thought "there're quite a few updates here". Then my head goes: Bunch of updates = I'm hungry = Can't eat 'cause i'm growing a belly = I like McDonald's = Haven't had the choc sundae in a while = What other stuff do the serve over in Mackers? = Mmm.. would love a cheeseburger now = Wait a minute, a flurry of updates! = McFlurry!

My mind works in mysterious ways.

irish men are sexy :)

my remedy: maybe you should then try to view work as something you like to do, not just as work. altho i noe engineering stuff is pretty lame :)

we should compare bellies soon. hee

what u waiting for mel? let's go!

haha manda, whatzit gotta do with irish men?

and its pretty hard, though INTERESTING, to view engineering as something i like, but i'll try

ok then, compare bellies we shall.. though its not something we should be bragging about la
