Socially Awkward Penguin

Pushy, having lost his Facebook account, had a lot more stuff to write in his blog as compared with when he still had his Facebook account.

Thus Pushy, having lost his Facebook account, had introduced this series of "memes". A "meme" as described by Pushy - who had lost his Facebook account, is a cultural idea that gets passed down due to repeated use.

Pushy - the one who had recently lost his Facebook account, gives us an example of a meme which is the Socially Awkward Penguin.

Intriguingly, I find many samples of the Socially Awkward Penguin highly relevant to me, mainly these:

and ESPECIALLY this:

To add to the collection, I have created these

Side-note: Pushy does the concept of liars have long noses qualify as a "meme"? It's a cultural idea from Pinocchio that gets passed down due to repeated use.

Sad songs make me alive

I have a penchant for sad songs. Esp those very very sad type with a simple arrangement catchy tune and soulful lyrics. Chinese songs tend to do this genre very well.

Sad songs can be so touching! Feeling emo now so very in the mood to appreciate sad songs.

I've picked this sad song from a taiwan drama series some time back but now then I have the time to deeply absorb the "pheel"...

半情歌 - 元若蓝

花 接受凋零 风 接受追寻

心的伤还有一些 不要紧

我接受你的决定

你将会被谁抱紧 唱什么歌哄他开心

我想着天空什么时候会放晴

地球不曾为谁停一停

你的明天 有多快乐 不是我的

我们的爱是唱一半的歌

时间把习惯换了 伤口愈合

也撤销我再想你的资格

你的祝福 一半甜的 一半苦的

像我手中冷掉的可可

最最教人残念的 总是未完成的

我只能唱著 一半的歌

你将会被谁抱紧 唱什么歌哄他开心

我想着天空什么时候会放晴

地球不曾为谁停一停

你的明天 有多快乐 不是我的

我们的爱是唱一半的歌

时间把习惯换了 伤口愈合

也撤销我再想你的资格

你的祝福 一半甜的 一半苦的

像我手中冷掉的可可

最最教人残念的 总是未完成的

我只能唱著 一半的歌

我的明天 快不快乐 都是我的

我们的爱是唱一半的歌

时间把习惯换了 伤口愈合

也撤销我再想你的资格

你的祝福 一半甜的 一半苦的

像我手中冷掉的可可

最最教人残念的 总是未完成的

另一半的歌

Don't laugh, I'm gonna try and sing this song to the world...

What colour is Doraemon?

Do you know Doraemon?

Of course u know Doraemon, practically the whole world knows Doraemon. Doraemon is everyone's favourite robo-cat!

And he is this guy's friend

Nobita

And he loves to snack on this

Dorayaki

Most importantly, we all know that Doraemon has a magic pocket that allows him to carry with him fantabulous futuristic gadgets!

Other things u may not know about Doraemon:

♥ Doraemon had arrived from the 22nd century, and was sent by Nobita's great-great-grandson in order to improve the life of Nobita for the betterment of his future generations to come

♥ Doraemon had been manufactured on 3rd September 2112, and he was considered a poorly produced product because he got hit by lightning during manufacture and thus malfunctioned in several areas

♥ Doraemon weighs 129.3kg and stands at 129.3cm tall. In real life, he would measure up to the size of a very obese little boy.

Now, the fun part.

Doraemon, according to a spin-off from the manga series, was previously supposed to look like this

This translated to 3D terms would be

According to the story, Doraemon used to be a yellow robot cat. One day while taking a nap, a robot mouse climbed on Doraemon and proceeded to gnaw off its ears. When Doraemon realised what had happened to him, he was so sad and he drank a Sadness Potion that made his yellow paint wash off.

From then on, Doraemon was always blue and always afraid of mice.

Such a tragic but cute but cruel but interesting story! Poor Doraemon!

yadayadayada :)

Pollie had been on work-related training for the whole of this week. Was really stressed out during the week due to training plus work. We were told at the end of the week we'll be having a quiz too, so I was totally not enjoying my week.

And then I fell ill mid-week.

I think I got infected with some type of germs by my sick training-table mate. The table was small and we were in close proximity and she kept coughing and coughing. But she's a nice girl la, she was. We hit it off quite well and we even exchanged facebook and msn contacts today.

So this new friend and I, we lunched tog

ether today. Then during lunch I checked my voicemail. Then I was suddenly really really happy....

Because?

I will be starting on a new lease of life... very very soon.

In several weeks to come, life.. will have meaning again!!

=D

Then after lunch, lessons were like.. yadaa yadaa yadaa whateva ya ya ya.. My instructors were moving their mouths and briefing us on som

e technical stuff but I was like yadaa yadaa ya ya ya.. whateva ya.. Not listening not listening.. Playing facebook games.. Chatting on msn..

Quiz was like.. easy peasy.. and anyway whether pass or fail I also dun really bother.. Pass lor! Fail lor! yadaa yadaa ya ya ya..

♥

totally no mood for werk

i have officially lost interest in my line of work.

there, i said it.

Rainy Happiness <3

The wet weather is back. It's nice.
Gloominess make me happy. No la not really. I like the wet weather coz I feel so relaxed and clean, instead of hot & bothered and sticky from perspiration.

Two things about wet weather that irk me however, are that.. Firstly, I hate to get my toes wet in the puddles! Then my feet get all wrinkly like prunes, smelly prunes! And then the shoes get damaged. Eesh.
Another thing is - my clothes dun dry proper! Ugh. As I'd mentioned in my laundry net post, I really lurrrve clean laundry. Clean laundry make me happy too. So it's the tradeoff of one happiness for another happiness.. So the effects nett out and wateva.

Ahhh it's a good day! =)

[My first brog entry made on my mobile!]

The Midnight Express

Chugga chug, chugga chug chugga chug chug chug chug..


The Midnight Express pushes forward in the night. All around, the darkness engulfs, watching the train intently as it rushes by.

The Midnight Express cranes its neck ahead - only a long and winding rail track beckons. It is going to be a long, cold journey after all. To its left, right, and everywhere else, a bleak darkness surrounds. An unsettled feeling begins to grow within.


"I can't do this. The coal in me, it's just too little!"
"I can't make it through the night."
"I am going to get here stranded forever, I'm going to rust away and no one will find me.."

These thoughts surfaced and re-surfaced over and over again in its mind, each time growing the dank mass of unsettlement in its mechanical heart. With each metre travelled, its metal frame feels heavier and heavier, too much for its narrow wheels to bear.


Chugga.. chug.. chugga.... chug.


Its wheels had eventually came to a stop. It took a final glance at the emptiness around it, dimmed its headlight, and slowly closed the shutters. The Midnight Express is out-of-service.

A sudden rustle awakens the giant machine.


"Hmm?" The headlight shutters flicked wide open.


A bolt of lightning whipped across the sky, outlining the image of an enormous cumulonimbus cloud.


"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo...... GETAWAYGETAWAY I don't want to rust!!"


The Midnight Express desperately attempts to fire up its engine to GETAWAY, but its attempts proved futile.


Another bolt of lightning whipped across the threatening sky, accompanied with a booming thunder. Little droplets begin to fall.. then gradually, the droplets formed a heavy downpour!


"NOOOOOOOOOOACKKKKKkkkkk!!" The world around Midnight Express began to envelope it in dampness.........

And then Midnight Express woke up.
It was just a dream!

Hooooooooooot Hooooooooooooooooot!
