i think i am getting into the habit of being misunderstood.
first it was the cinema visit australia advertisement thing.
(nice pictures of kangaroos jumping, woman singing in background)
ZK: that woman is flat.
JR: (happily slurping ice cream, raises an eyebrow) that coming from you.
(sound of judith sniggering very hard in the background.)
(fractional pause, when zk finally realizes that they were talking at cross purposes.)
ZK: i meant her singing. you know, pitch?
one wonders why junrong thought i had deduced that woman's figure from her singing and nice pictures of hopping kangaroos. i mean, it's fairly heartening that some smart guy has such great faith in your deductive abilities, but i don't think sherlock holmes would be able to make even a guesstimate of how a bloody person looks like from her voice alone. let alone with images of kangaroos hopping across the screen in a rather distracting fashion. does that make sense? i hope so.
lesson learnt: never talk with normal friends the usual way you talk with strings friends.

and then today. in hall, doing student council survey on pe uniform. (AO = andre, ZH = zhihong)
ZH: of course appearance lah!
AO: no! comfort!
ZH: you could feel comfortable wearing a sack!
(pause, scribbling on survey forms)
ZK: sacks is not comfortable.
****
ok i'd admit that i have no idea now whether it was a ungrammatical slip of the tongue on my part, or whether zhihong went deaf for the fraction of a second, or whether the hall was simply too noisy for her to hear me clearly. it doesn't really matter, because in any case, after a short pause,
ZH: (blank look) what?!?!
you get what i mean. of course, one had to explain that i was talking about sacks. as in pronounced sair-KKKKKK-s, without the r.
-------
the world would be a better place if we all listened to more classical music. discuss.
-------
junrong brought an interesting book to school today. since if i talk about it here i'd bore everyone to death, i'll not talk about it here.
-------
on the other hand. people are now visiting this place expecting something funny. this is ridiculous. this place is so not funny. go away. maybe i should bore all of you to death.
-------
and i think i have discovered how to make my posts appear as long as kai's. write short paragraphs and leave lots of space. whee!
-------
p.s., pg wodehouse is funny. but the only thing i remember from his books is a man eating fish. go figure.
