watch this,its such a wicked prank and yet its soooooo funny! hahaha. a fren emailed it to me abt 2 months ago and i have to search for it on youtube to share with u guys.

am having my 2 weeks winter hols now, and the first one is just over. sadly, my physics prof wanna continue with lessons, thereby resulting in my not being able to go visit tim in oxford grrrhh.. thank gdness im heading over to belgium for a short wkend getaway. thats the thing with this particular prof of mine. it seems tt he's teaching in another sch as well and tt sch has doesnt have hols coinciding with mine, and so he insisted on continuing with lessons, how sickening. during his lesson this week, i was spacing out periodically as his thick southern france accent and my perpetual afternoon languor came together to induce a really strong stupor in me. and then i suddenly remembered the above video, and just had to break into a smile. now, beaming suddenly in the face of complex numbers, diff eqns and fresnel and bode in electrical circuits must have looked quite silly to him as he was instructing while seated beside me. and so it was all i cld muster to prevent myself from grinning. i bit my lips hard, and furrowed my eyebrows in a bid to appear focused. i hope i managed to do so convincingly. but recalling the shell-shocked look on those plus-sized aunties as they fall backwards spread-eagle style onto the waterbed is simply too priceless for words, lol. still, i really have to give credit to the caucasians, they have such a great sense of humour and they're so ready to laugh at themselves; even when the practical joke's on them. now, if this 'stunt' were to be pulled in spore, i think a lot of hot-tempered sporeans wld COMPLAIN as usual!!!

am quite pleased with myself for accomplishing most of wat i intended to cover over this holiday, tho finally having my own internet access in my room really serves as more than just a distraction as ive this addiction to just go online the whole day. many a times ive yielded to this temptation and as a result, had to burn e midnite oil till abt 2-3 am in e morning just to complete the day's self-assigned work. but not before watchign a movie or two of coz, haha. well, at least i can do so under e pretext of improving my french since some of e movies are dubbed and have no subtitles.

i think i can hit forty easily but lets keep it simple

1)chinese cuisine is fantastic, its evenly balanced with heaty, spicy dishes tempered with equal servings of vegetables and cooling soups. but i hate veges like brinjal and lady's finger (god has a sense of humour afterall, he created a vege that produces phlegm and mucus). amongst those i like include orluak, char kway teow, hokkien mee, laksa, bak kut teh, kway chap, fishball and minced meat noodles, hongkong noodles, wanton mee, fried rice, carrot cake, duck, chicken and char siew rice, paus, ham cheen pang, popiah, horfun, chinese new yr goodies like bagua and love letters and kok zais and the tiny spring rolls with hay bee hiam inside, snowskin and traditional mooncake, bak zhang, dim sum, gong gong, la la, black pepper crab, bbq stingray, curry fishhead, shark's fin, bird's nest, pork ribs, hot plates, tau huay, cheng tng, chendol, ice kachang and honeydew sago and to expedite my entry, EVERYTHING on the menus of decent can-make-it hawker centres/coffee shops'zhi chars, and ding tai fengs and crystal jades and any other gd chinese restaurants worth their weight in gold. not to forget jap food, with all e sushi and sashimi and tempura and green tea ice cream.

2)malay food and indian food! wah, spicy and shiok, and confirm get sore throat if eat too much. got indian rojak, prata, roti john, curry puffs, satay, mee goreng, beef rendang,this burger thingy tts sold at pasar malams (i forgot e name), sayur something, some ikan and ayam thing and all the nonya/traditional kuehs during hari raya that can make you a diabetic straight after a meal

3)western. anything and everything thats rich and sinful and guaranteed to balloon u up into a dua pui. french, italian, american, mexique and grecque and blah blah, i eat it all haha. the french boulangeries, creperies and patisseries and italian pasta and pizzas and american staples like fries and burgers and onion rings and sundaes and desserts and sweet stuff like cheesecakes and brownies and shortcakes and english scones and eclairs and profiteroles and ice cream and milkshakes and chocolates and cookies and grec pitas and mexican falafals... all i like.
