Background: Australia Day Service and Donovan Seeto was critiquing my costume (woodsman with paper axe and flexiruler) Don: I don’t say why you wouldn’t bring a real axe? Me: So if I dressed up as a bushranger, you’d want me to bring a real gun Don: …yeah Me: (pause) I’m so not inviting you to [...]

Facebook musings

Posted: September 27, 2007 in Amusing

I don’t know what’s nerdier: The fact that I joined Facebook or the fact that at 1:36am, I used it as an analogy to explain the catch-up line. I blame my torts essay.

Comedic ALC Highlights

Posted: September 24, 2007 in Ablaze, Amusing

After reading Jien Mae’s entry about ODH with Powerhouse (blown away by your effort Mae), I felt a twinge of regret that I couldn’t check out Hao’s YMCA dance routine. However, hanging out with the Ablaze leaders and champs had its highlights: – Me causing a mini scandal by being in one of the girl’s [...]

Some say leh, some say lah

Lauranne showed me this video and it was one of the most amusing things I’ve ever watched. If any candidate at the next Federal Election did this, I would so vote for them. Go Asian pride-lah  

Nicknames

Posted: September 14, 2007 in Amusing, Interesting

Like everyone else, I have my fair share of nicknames. However, the one thing that I find most interesting is the variety of situations in which my aliases arose: – Trungsten: My friend was very bored in chemistry and was looking at the Periodic Table. A brainwave occurred to him – tungsten, Trungsten – Mr [...]

Great Conversations

I remember this amusing exchange I had with someone ages ago:  “For some reason, I keep thinking your name is Steven” “…That’s because it is.” Really need to start writing people’s names down. I’ll write something of depth soon….I promise

Embarassing Moment #2341

Posted: September 3, 2007 in Amusing

During my lecture My phone (which was on silent) rang and in my brilliance, instead of pressing the hang-up button, I turned on the loudspeaker instead. Because there’s nothing better than drawing unwanted attention to myself. *Facepalms*

So Young

Bus ride home from uni. I was talking to a couple of Hope Brisbane people – Michelle and Rachel Michelle: So what year are you in?  Me: 1st Michelle [shocked]: No way Me [Lolling]: How old did you think I was? Michelle: I don’t know, maybe 22 or something? * Conversations like that always crack [...]

‘Hello Kitty’ armbands to shame bad cops  Sloppy Bangkok policemen are being ordered to wear bright pink “Hello Kitty” armbands.  It’s a uniquely Thai twist to zero tolerance anti-crime initiatives used in New York.  Crime Suppression Division officers caught dropping litter, parking illegally or reporting late for work will get several days wearing the armbands, [...]

Unusually Stupid

Posted: August 5, 2007 in Amusing, law

Whilst being the productive student that I am, I was reading a particularly droll chapter about the application of the Trade Practices Act (1974). It all seemed routine until I read the section about who can be mislead for the Act to apply. I encountered this statement which just cracked me up. To the MSN nerds, I [...]
