Summaries schmarmmaries.

A summary of the past couple of weeks: had a nice "reminiscing the past" with an old friend on the night of the "overly commercialised and overrated filled with overpriced flowers, overcharging restaurants and other shit" day.

Stood around with yet another friend at the Chap Goh Meh proceedings, which began as simple curiosity but what made us stay longer was mostly for the amusement of seeing those desperate people who skip the "orange throwing and fishing" excercise entirely and try to chat up members of the opposite gender (one guy's case was so much more funny that the girl looked him told him to pick the orange hahahahaah! Yes i know im an evil sadistic bastard thankyouverymuch), some "enterprising" people even printed fricking business cards to distribute!

In other news, i did an article with Pei Mei for the Star's R.AGE pullout, you can find it in today's Star newspaper (Thursday, Febuary 24 2006). Apparently its only available in the newspapers that are sent to colleges and universities, so you might want to have a look.
Though i don't claim to be the most prolific or attention whoring *COUGHNardCOUGH* writer, its nice to see something you wrote being published with a minimum of editing.

I've had a couple of very "soap drama"-like misunderstandings with a certain Joanne in the past weeks, first was the "6-10" incident where i misheard her saying that she belanja the meal.... and i was thinking "wah... got people so generous i never see before." But what she really said was "i pay first la, you pay me back later."
I blame it on the noise from the medium that distorted the message. Yes, i've been studying too much. Its bad for my mental wellbeing.

The second one was the setapak gathering thing where due to a mixup in emailing addresses, i did not receive the confirmation email in the place i was expecting it; in fact it ended up in the place i LEAST expected it. Among the dark, dank depths of my Hotmail Junk mail folder, along with all the evil and monstrous creatures that inhabit it, such as the hideous "Interest Free Loans!", the vile "Send this email to 100000 people NOW or DIE!", the absolutely insidious "PENIS ENLARGEMENT PILLS 100% GUARANTEE!!" or the ever pervasive "FreeHotAdultActionRIGHTH ERE!"
By the time the proposed gathering time came, i still hadn't received confirmation, so i called her up and found out that the time was indeed confirmed. While i was on the LRT there, i was told the other people wanted to go back already, which of course caused me to be pretty pissed, since i had parked my car at AMcorp, then i had to use the LRT to get there and the journey there takes about 35 minutes.
To add salt to the wound, the train stayed at one station for a long, long time before finally getting a move on again. Since i wouldn't have been able to make it, i cut my losses and stopped off at KLCC and brought home an armful of new Warhammer 40K books instead.

But after the whole business was cleared up, i owe her a pretty expensive meal and an apology also, since it wasn't really her fault. :p

So,the moral of the story is, as according to the highly respected and regarded sage, Confucioused says: "When someone gives you email address, use it. Other IM email address is portal to watery orfice in bathroom toilet."



And now here's the magnificent Lame joke of the day!: All original lame joke from the bullcrapping genius of yours truly, based on a TRUE real life story! Keyword "based".

Mei, pointing at someone in a photo: "This is my friend, Kate. I haven't seen her in awhile, cause she's abroad."
Nard: "Haha, i can imagine"
A certain spiky haired person: "Haha i agree, she's a broad indeed, and a mighty fine one i might add!"
Nard & ACSHP: "OMFGROFLOLOLOLOLOLOL!"
Mei: -_-;; "Die. Please. BOTH of you."
