Saving Face

No, this post is not about how I'm starting to get outbreaks after finishing my anti-biotic course.

Instead it's about a movie! One that I caught over the weekend and I absolutely loved it.

It had a rather nice plot, and one of the biggest and most complicated relationships I've witnessed. It's set in a American-Chinese locale and according to a review, would not have worked in any other setting. It's showcases the typical mindset of a close knit Chinese society bound by strict ethics and ethos.

[spoilers ahead!]

Now back to the relationship. There's this high flying girl who's been brought up in above mentioned society. You can see that she's more American then Chinese already. Although she manages a smattering of Chinese, her English is flawless. And guess what! She's a lesbian. And falls in love with another girl, who happens to be her bosses' daughter.

And if that's not all, her mother turns up at her doorstep crying one night. And she's pregnant and refuses to tell who the father is. The main character's grandparents of course throw a fit and in the process throw her mother out of the family. It's like clearing the rubbish, you throw everything out at once to save the trouble.

Her mother goes through what can only be mildly termed as a mid-life crisis while she herself has to deal with juggling her work and keeping her dancer lover happy. Her mother then tries to set her up with guys while she does the same thing in return.

Hilarity and touching moments occur and you get your requisite happy ending, which everyone seems to like.

[End spoilers]

If you want to know more of what happened, catch the movie. It's definately better then some of the rubbish that's showing in the cimenas at the moment.

Mistake of life

Why bother studying...

Saturday, October 22, 2005

Update on my life

Finished my anti-biotic course. My 2 month course which took me more then 2 months to finish. Meaning I did not eat everything on time and skipped it here and there.

And thus my mutation into Anti-Biotic Man seems complete. Wonder how long it will last.

Got a belated birthday present for myself. A finished CS3266 project sitting on my lap. Although I had to sweat blood to get it done myself, it's finally over.

Well 2 more projects to go. And a shit load of stuff to study. Bleh.

fol·li·cle Audio pronunciation of "follicles" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fl-kl)
n.

1. Anatomy.
1. A small bodily cavity or sac.
2. A crypt or minute cul-de-sac or lacuna, such as the depression in the skin from which the hair emerges.
3. An ovarian follicle.
4. A spherical mass of cells usually containing a cavity.
2. Botany. A dry, single-chambered fruit that splits along only one seam to release its seeds, as in larkspur and milkweed.

Is it? It refers to the hole from which the hair comes out from. Gotcha X 2!

But anyway, to continue this pointless debate:
I never say you say I say you say I say you say I say hor! I'll counter-counter-counter-counter sue the hair of your lice of the hair of your butt-hole off!

Having a bad day?

THE NEXT TIME YOU THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY:

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of
forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male
was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back,
flippers, and facemask. A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from
burns, but from massive internal injuries.

Dental records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set
about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest
fire. It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the person went for a
diving trip off the coast some 20 miles from the forest. The firefighters,
seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of
helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and
then flown to the forest fire and emptied.

You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the
Pacific, the next he was doing the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300
feet in the air. Apparently he extinguished exactly 5'10" of the
fire. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STILL THINK YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY?

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the
kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle when it
accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the
handlebars, was dragged through the glass patio doors and along with the
motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house. The wife, hearing the
crash, ran into the dining room and found her husband lying on the floor,
cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him, and the shattered patio
door.

The wife ran to the phone and summoned the ambulance. Because they lived
on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of stairs to
the street to escort the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance
arrived and transported the man to the hospital, the wife
uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.

Seeing that gas was spilled on the floor, the wife got some paper towels,
blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet. The man was
treated and released to come home. Upon arriving home, he looked at the
shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became
despondent, went to the bathroom, sat down on the
toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped
it between his legs into the toilet bowl while seated. The wife, who was
in the kitchen, heard the loud explosion and her husband screaming. She
ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor. His trousers
had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of
his legs, and his groin.

The wife again ran to the phone to call the ambulance. The very same
paramedic crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street. The
paramedics loaded the husband onto the stretcher and began carrying him to
the street.

While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the
wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned
himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of
them slipped and tipped the stretcher, dumping the husband out. He fell down
the remaining stairs and broke his arm.

STILL HAVING A BAD DAY?

Just remember, it could be worse.....

Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb.
It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the
bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.

Your day's not so bad, is it?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next time you're having a bad day, imagine this:

You're a Siamese twin.

Your brother, attached at your shoulder, is gay.

You're not.

He has a date coming over today.

But you have the only ass.

Feel better now?

MacDonald's Happy Meal Toys

I have this theory that I came up with while eating at Macdonalds. They had this big TV constantly bombarding consumers with advertising and such.

One of the advertisements happened to be about Happy Meal Toys, in the case, a collaboration with Play-Doh. The "action figure" when inserted with Play Doh would then churn out fries and burgers.

Well, parents always want their kids to be something. They aspire for their kid to be the next Prime Minister, Superstar or *insert random occupation which earns lots of money so the parents can go on round the world tours every year*

So what do these anxious parents do? They try to imprint this aspirations into the child at a young age via toys. Plastic mobile phones for the future business manager, stethoscopes for the young doctor.

So as you can see, this is a glorious plan by Macdonalds to churn out future burger flippers, french fry fries and Arts degree holders (:P sorry, just couldn't resist it.) The child on eating Macdonalds happy meals and playing with toys that make burgers, happily decide there and then that they will flip burgers in the future!

A superb plan by Macdonalds to err... help support the local economy and give more jobs to the people!

Words of Wisdom

DON'T waste money on expensive ipods. Simply think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to "switch tracks", simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.

RAPPERS: Avoid having to say 'know what I'm sayin' all the time by actually speaking clearly in the first place.

DON'T waste money on expensive paper shredders to avoid having your identity stolen. Simply place a few dog turds in the bin bags along with your old bank statements.

WORRIED that your teeth will be stained after a heavy night drinking red wine? Simply drink a bottle of white wine before going to bed to remove the stains.

MURDERERS: Need to dispose of a body? Simply parcel it up and post it to yourself via DHL. You will never see it again.

EMPLOYERS: Avoid hiring unlucky people by immediately tossing half the CVs into the bin.

MEN: When listening to your favourite CD, simply turn up the sound to the volume you desire; then turn it down three notches. This will save your wife from having to do it.

GAMBLERS: For a new gambling opportunity, try sending #50 to yourself by Royal Mail.

BANGING: two pistachio nutshells together gives the impression that a very small horse is approaching.

BLIND PEOPLE: Give yourself at least a chance of seeing something by not wearing heavy dark glasses all the time.

ALCOHOL: makes an ideal substitute for happiness.

DRIVERS: If a car breaks down or stalls in front of you, beep your horn and wave your arms frantically. This should help the car start and send them on their way.

PREVENT burglars stealing everything in the house by simply moving everything in the house into your bedroom when you go to bed. In the morning, simply move it all back again.

CAR thieves: Don't be discouraged when nothing is on view. All the valuables may be hidden in the glove box or under a seat.

DEPRESSED people: Instead of attempting suicide as a 'cry for help', simply shout 'Help!' thus saving money on paracetamol, etc.

MOTORISTS: Avoid getting prosecuted for using your phone whilst driving. Simply pop your mobile inside a large shell and the police will think you are listening to the sea.

JEREMY Beadle: When selling DVDs on your TV advert, hold the disks in your bigger hand so that they do not appear to be the size of laser disks.

SHOES last twice as long if only worn every other day.

SINGLE men: Convince people that you have a girlfriend by standing outside Etam with several bags of shopping, looking at your watch and occasionally glancing inside.

BOIL an egg to perfection without costly egg timers by popping the egg into boiling water and driving away from your home at exactly 60 mph. After 3 miles, phone your wife and tell her to take the egg out the pan.

ALCOHOLICS: don't worry where the next drink is coming from. Go to the pub, where a large selection is available at retail prices.

McDONALD'S: Make your brown carrier bags green in colour so they blend in with the countryside after they've been thrown out of car windows.

Languages

Some people think that Japanese is pretty difficult to learn with it's various innotations and inflections to reflect the status of the person being addressed.

Others think it's Chinese with it's thousands of characters.

Some swear that sign languague is pretty difficult.

I can only say the language of Statistics and Probabilty is the most horrible...
