Short Update

And if you're wondering why I'm at home instead of at work today - it's because the work server crashed. And no, I had nothing to do with it. Honest. There are witnesses! I was happily reading (with no thoughts of mass destruction or computer hacking) in Rowden White Library when it happened (supervisor booted me out earlier cause he got some 'important' meetings...).

By the time I returned (after Buddhism lecture), there was peace in the floor that I am working at. The type of peace where everyone was busy surfing the net (or in one guy's case, pulling his hair out in an attempt to find some articles on the net) instead of earning their bread.

Unfortunately, my supervisor caught me and booted me out of the building with more readings before I could shatter that tranquility...

And no, that stink bomb outside my supervisor's office had nothing to do with me....

Btw, is blogarithm working?

Wallpaper for your viewing pleasure.

Someone asked me to post this up sometime ago, and I apologize for not doing it earlier. As they say, life just keeps getting in the way.

Anyway, here's my current wallpaper.




Comments, suggestions or further ideas would be appreciated. After all, practice makes perfect (and I sooo want to test out Adobe Photoshop...)

Saw Auntie Jessie at church today.

My supervisor's lacking(?) sense of humour

Wohoo, just finished the first draft of my project outline.

So I sent it to my supervisor.
And this was how the emails went.

Hi Supervisor,
Done, I think. Not at all satisfied with my background, and also, way overshot the word limit... Could you please take a look at it?
And just to brag - hah! I'm sending this to you before your lunchtime (i think). Therefore you have no excuse! I expect to see a reply for this before I go to bed tonight! (runs off before Supervisor throws the table at me). Heh.
cheers

From: Supervisor

Thanks and you had better run!
Supervisor

Haha. You can't reach me! ;p

My supervisor's weird sense of humour

The air was tense. Silence reigned in the office of my supervisor. Dangling in front of me was a set of keys with my name pasted onto the keychain.

"These keys will allow you access to some very important rooms in this building." he said, dropping the keys into my outstretched palm. "Make sure you don't lose them."

"If you do..." he continued with a grave undertone, "...I'll set the mafia after you."

By the time he said "Just kidding", I was already one tenth done in my "101 ways to lose the keys" plan. Hmph!

Finding Neverland

Just finished watching 'Finding Neverland'. Quite an amusing show, about how a play-writer finds his inspiration to write the play 'Peter Pan' by interacting with a widow and her 4 sons. In the meanwhile, he also has to deal with other things like upset wife (for spending more time with that family than with her), community politics (stiff upper class British people...) and trying to entertain a group of professionals with a fairytale play. A interesting watch.

One comment - Johnny Depp can actually act as a normal character! As normal as he can be anyway, as an eccentric play-writer with an overactive imagination.

For those who don't recall, Johnny Depp is the actor for 'Jack Sparrow' in Pirates of the Carribean and 'Mr Willy Wonka' in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Not too sure if he acted in any other shows but he probably did. Anyway, to the extend of my knowledge (until today's show), he acts weird.

As Jack Sparrow, well- it's so- gay. No offence, but seriously. Especially when he just stands there, swaying a bit with his hands waving around - so, 'girly'.
And as Mr Willy Wonka... well, let's just say that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of the few shows that mentally scarred me for life. Dancing oompa-loompas, who are actually miniaturized plump old men...

In this show, however when I saw his name in the intro I nearly stopped the show he actually acted decent. Phew.

On another note, I put clothes into the washing machine, and it spat out a 10 cent coin. Shiny...
