my holidays

hello.

hey damnit la, holidays are so mundane, and ive accomplished nothing in particaular so far. and because of the monotony, ive been drowning myself in playing computer games, which is why ive hardly touched my blog.

sianzz.. what have you done so far? i bet youre not much better than me haha. it's like you know the holidays are running away from you at a breakneck speed but you just cant possibly hold it back. the worst part is that whenever you want to start doing something meaningful, you'll tell yourself that there's no reason to do it, and then simply brush it aside. damn. wish there's some way to change that. wish there's someone around you to give you the motivation. wish everything can be perfect.. impossible.

well, think of it again, there are actually somethings that ive gained, but sadly all of them have no positive influence on my studies. these things ive gotten through my friends - all of whom boys.

first, there's an addition to my vocabulary. as you'll figure, they're not really proper english words that appear in your oxford dictionary. so it might help if you learn them now, so that when you hear them in the future you know what they mean.

1. gg

"gg" is a very common expression that stands for "good game". usually it's used in RTS (real-time strategy) lan games (such as warcraft) when a player wants to concede defeat. saying "gg" is a polite way to end a game when you're sure youve lost. however, it can also be used in real life to express disgust at a situation. it's sort of like saying "oh manns, i give up."

"woah sHiT! i dozed off on the bus and now ive ended up in jurong! gg le..."

2. pwn (pronounced p-OO-n)

"pwn" originates from the word "pawn", which is a term used in DotA meaning "to sell". not everything can be pawned. "pawn" is only used with "pawning heads". (ok. you dont get it. see, in DotA, you need to kill other players to win. and everytime you kill another player, you'll be able to "pawn his head for an amount of money". and "pwn" is pawn with the "a" removed. i not sure why, maybe they find that nicer.)

anyway, to get "pwned" would mean that you're so terribly screwed by someone/something that he gets to sell your head.

3. glhf

acronym for "good luck have fun", which simply means good luck. doh.

4. WOLS

this is a test of your velocity. try to figure out what this word means under a minute. answer is below. but no peeking!










did you get it? if you didnt, youre damn slow leh! if you still dont get it, well, you might as well kill yourself. haha!

a joke

hello.

today i would like to share a joke with everyone. im not sure if you've heard this before; perhaps it's widely spread already. but i think it's real funny and deserves a second round of laughter. oh yeah, it was bao yuan who told me this joke.

here it goes:

three men stumbled upon the village of a cannibal tribe by accident and were unfortunately discovered by its residents. the normal routine was to slaughter them for dinner, but as the cannibals were not craving for human flesh for the moment, they decided to entertain themselves by playing a simple gambling game with the intruders.

"to the north, not far away from here, is a magical tree that allows you to transform into any animal you want by simply touching it and shouting out the name of the animal you wish to be," explained the chieftain, a dark-skinned man of heavy build who uncannily reminded one of a troll. "we will head there now."

as they arrived, the three men gasped in awe at the sight of the gigantic tree. it easily dwarfed the surrounding plants, reaching an incredible height of at least 5 storeys.

"this shall be the starting line for you," the chieftain said, pointing towards a mark drawn on the leaf-littered forest floor. "at the count of 5, you will start running towards the tree. if you can reach it before we can touch you, you can transform into whatever you want, escaping from our grasp. however, you shall not try anything funny, otherwise you shall end up in our tribe's cooking pot tonight."

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!"

the american went first. deftly he manouvred through the dense growths, reaching the tree effortlessly. he wished that he could become a hawk, and in a flash of white light, he morphed into the bird and flew away.

the british went next. he was a heavy man, and did not run as fast as the athletic american. just as the cannibals were coming into contact with him, he mustered all his strength and made a leap towards the tree. miraculously he touched the tree, and transformed into a sparrow, escaping successfully.

the last one to go was ah beng. ah beng never attended any sports training before, and was extremely unskillful. nevertheless, he tried his luck, for this was his only ticket to freedom. he almost made it when he tripped on a root of the magical tree...

"NABEI CHEEBYE!"
