The world is grey, and I am useless
I've been coding in the lab the whole day and still fail to get exercise 8 working. I'm such a failure. I'm tired. I'm dejected. My mood is really really low.

Forwarded email that is actually good
Actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays:
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E.coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
7. He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.
16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.
18. Even in his last years, Grandpappy had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
23. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
26. Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH cleanser.
27. She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.
28. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.
29. The sunset displayed rich, spectacular hues like a .jpeg file at 10 percent cyan, 10 percent magenta, 60 percent yellow and 10 percent black.

hello ppl happy new year! and merry xmas and happy bday to me of course.
been away for a few days visiting my grandma at my aunt's place. she looks healthier. i think its bcoz my 4-yr-old cousin is getting naughtier. he's REALLY noisy. dear grandma still try to stuff me with food but i think i only got fat a little bit when i left the place, which is surprising considering my food intake.
one day during my stay she wanted to go to The Curve. no my grandma is not that "in". she actually just wanted to take my cousin to the huge daycare centre in IKEA which is opposite the curve coz my cousin likes the place. see how they spoil him? so i went with them. i didnt bring any proper clothes so i was walkin around the curve in sandals, shorts and t-shirt like some 40-yr-old.
so we were walkin around when i saw the girl from intec now in UQ, Sharon Loh. That, or i said hi to a pretty good looking random girl and she said hi back. either way works for me. then we walked around (we being grandma aunt and I not me and sharon) and i got bored and i went into borders and read old editions of bleach manga and looked around for novels on sale (there were none. 30 ringgit for a novel is soooo expensive how do they expect literacy rate to increase damnit). it was quite boring. i really should learn to enjoy shopping centres like a normal teenager. except that im already 21 and is no longer a teenager haha. we went back for my cousin after a few hours and he obviously had fun.
i think i shud find a new hobby.

Hello ppl
It's been a while. Not that i dont have things to write but like everyone else with the exception of yeam and amanda, i just couldnt be bothered. its called holiday mood. ok, lets start.
francis read my blog.
on the 4th of december, i have a flight back to malaysia from sydney. i called for a cab the night before and the cab was super punctual. premier cab summore. thats a big expensive looking shiny black cab. dunno if i'm gonna get charged extra but he's already there cant ask him to go away. driver was a professional looking indian guy who came out of the cab to help me load my luggage and greeted me.
"Hello how r u?"
"Good how r u?"
"okay. i just lost my other job."
"..."
Definitely gonna get charged extra.
So i got on the cab and he started driving to the airport. somewhere along the way, he was a little reckless in changing lane and i can hear a car honing angrily from behind but there was no collision, so i didnt pay much attention to it and continued reading some letters in my attempt at ignoring the taxi driver so that i dont have to make pointless conversations. but after a few seconds the car that was honing sped alongside us and the guy driving it shouted, "I'VE GOT A FUCKING BABY IN HERE. U PULL OVER, NOW! I SAID PULL OVER!" He looked so furious he looked like he's gonna kill someone.
The taxi driver ignored him and and kept driving, thankfully so coz it was already 1.15 and i have to check in by 1.40, so the guy tried to force us to the side of the road by pushing us from the side with his car, but not as forcefully as those scenes in the movies. still, i can hear the cars scratching against each other. i suspect the shiny black cab isnt that shiny now. driver tried to lose the guy by speeding up but the guy always catches up to try forcing us to the roadside, all the while furiously shouting about him having a fucking baby in there and demanding that the driver pull over. the driver's now pretty angry himself but he didnt stop and we lost the guy right before we reached the airport. It was a little awkward in the taxi. I checked in unscathed.
so i went thru 8 hrs of flight and arrived back in da motherland.
Reading robin hobb's soldier son trilogy now. i've had it for ages just didnt have the time to read it till now. finished the 1st book, it was great, but of course i expect nothing less from robin hobb.
i shud probably write more about francis reading my blog in case he terasa coz i only gave him 4 words. so, francis read my blog (how did he get here?) and is interested in the colour of my ipod nano, which btw is blue. I think he either already has one or he's thinking of getting one. i know its a lame conclusion to come to but u must appreciate my effort at prolonging the paragraph about francis reading my blog.
gonna go out with yeam and nat on monday.
plane tickets are so expensive. how r u guys going back?
