Who's on First (the 2005 version)
this was in an email forward to me from Alberto ... i don’t know how long this email has been circulating and maybe everyone’s already seen it, but it was too cute to not post:
“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.”
Maybe it’s too soon be sure but I really do believe that some day we’re gonna have it all.
...Come on people, keep your friends close — your enemies won’t matter in the end.
Excuse me, are you lost? Perhaps you would care to visit the site map

i almost missed this one…
well thanks, James, for passing it along…. here i go:
while i’m in this mood,
shows i’ve been watching this year (in no particular order):
shows that either shouldn’t have been cancelled, or should have at least released the remaining scripts explaining how the story continues/what happens to the characters:
from Lat’s Lot (Second Edition)
Tourist says to Translator: Can she say how far the kebun is from here?
Translator says to Native Woman: Berapa jauh kebun tu dari sini kak?
We are quite conservative when it comes to measuring distance.
Native woman says to Translator: Mmmm… tak berapa jauh, Encik… lebih kurang setanak nasi saja…
Translator to Tourist: That means if you are cooking rice now, it would be perfectly cooked the moment you get there.
This was a forwarded email to me; some of it’s so true.. more than anything, it’s the accents and references that i love so.
You love to talk about food. You’re already thinking about what to have for dinner while eating lunch. “I’m stuffed. What shall we have for dinner?”
You pepper every sentence with lah. “No-lah, I can’t see you today-lah. I have to study-lah. You know-lah, the prison warden aka mak is watching me like a hawk”
Your accent and language style vary according to the race of the person you are conversing with.
I asked my dad if he could name any of the songs I listen to, since it occurred to me that I could certainly name some of his artists and songs but I wasn’t so sure what he would come up with for me…
He answered, “well, you like the Kookaburra song.”
Hm. That is true. I do like the Kookaburra song.
A few people out there already know what happens if you ask me to suggest a couple of songs from my music collection…
I don’t really know how to suggest just a couple.
Hans obviously didn’t know this, though, so he very sweetly passed me a Musical Baton Meme thing.. mischievous grin cool.
Not that my mom would have gone to bed any earlier anyway, and I should have already been sleeping too… but look what we stayed up to do:
that’s SouthPark-MyMom. the funnest thing about it is that she went into cute-Malaysian-expressions mode while picking characteristics.
reference to previous entryif you keep feeling a point that has been sharpened, the point cannot longer remain sharp.
I cannot for the life of me remember what I was thinking when I wrote this. I think it was just a blah article for site-building purposes. But still. ~ 2005-04-24
