What not to do at work:

  1. punch the elevator door instead of catching it
  2. trip over a tower of lever arched files

  4. stuff marshmallows into cheeks pretending to be a hamster

I read an article yesterday about edible flowers. It said:

Chamomile – The flowers are small and daisy-like and have a sweet, apple-like flavour.

Why me? II

21 July 2008

Some may remember that I learnt to not talk about getting a new car while sitting in the current one.

A week ago, I browsed through the newer version of my gaming laptop that I bought for the sole reason of gaming doing my assignments. They were really sexy solid and would allow me access to games like Fallout 3 efficient working of Microsoft Word.

I spent a few hours minutes telling Denty which one I would like to eventually upgrade to… A few days later (last Friday night) my graphics card broke. I now have a laptop that emulates an untuned television.

How was I to know that the non-talking-about-getting-new-thing-while-using-current-thing rule applies to computers too?

The face of delight…

 

The face of contentment…

The face of a sMinor setback…

Sticks and stilts

I met a lady with a walking stick at the elevator today. I also saw that she was wearing 3 inch heels.

I don’t get it.
