Assorted Ravings of the Slightly-Weird

Snippets

Ok. This post is just for Nat, since she emailed me to ask if I had been so busy entertaining that I haven't been blogging.

If you must know, I haven't been blogging because there hasn't been much to blog about. Just a couple of snippets here and there.

Snippet #1, also the BQOTD: My dad went to the doctor recently for a regular checkup. If you guys have seen my dad you'll know he kinda has a belly. If you poke it (as I often do) you'll find that his belly is kinda hard instead of being soft and flabby. So anyway he asked the doctor if it was muscle (since it was hard) and the doctor said:

"No, it's just a big lump of harder fat."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Incidentally I've given my dad a new nickname - BBB. Go figure it out.

Snippet #2: So my boss asked me on Monday to have lunch with her on Thursday, i.e. today. This is the first time ever in 4-odd years of working with her that she's ever asked to have a solo lunch with me. I wonder if she's taking me out for lunch to tell me I'm fired, in which case the lunch would be a consolatory gesture. You know, like "I'm sorry you've been fired but hey you had a good lunch!"

For the past few days I've been going around pondering on the significance of this gesture. But now the lunch has been pushed back to next week so I have a couple more days of going around dreading my impending dismissal. I wonder what kind of redundancy package my company has... Anyhow, if I suddenly start showing up on MSN next week, it'll be THE sign.

Snippet #3: After the great dive trip recently, I'm going to organise another trip in early June, this time to Perhentian. All are welcome to come along!

Snippet #4: Apparently, lime juice tastes like Gatorade and tau huay tastes like oatmeal with syrup.
