island tales #22

it's me again. :P hm, yesterday was pretty busy, had a whole day of work then proceeded to a seafood dinner + double birthday celebration for a couple of colleagues here at work. got back at 10pm, stuffed, tired, and with a petrol tank that had the needle hovering over the dreaded 'E'. went straight to sleep.

and today, i had to drive the long way round to pump fuel, then turn another huge round back to get to work. but at least i no longer run such a high risk of running out of petrol on an expressway... which incidentally did happen before (a long time ago.. it was aaron's car), which was the first time i ever drove (more like... glided) a car that had run out of steam. pretty freaking dramatic.

but anyway. im at work now, safe and sound, and about to dive headfirst into another busy day where time just FLIES~ past. just wanted to drop a post on my thoughts before that happens.

oh yes. here's a quick lesson in science. there are several constants that are assumed to have a, urm, well, constant value. examples include pi, the permeability of vacuum, the gravitational constant in a Newtonian model, speed of light, mass of an electron, et cetera et cetera.

and i think i can now add "weight of nerdook" to the list, since it has been STUCK at 60kg for years and years now. it's unbelievable. i do believe i have an auto correction mechanism (possibly with a feedback setup: something only engineers would say, haha) that burns food at JUST THE RIGHT rate to keep my body at 60kg. it just wont go up... after 2 months in penang, it should have at least gone up a teeeenyyy tinnyyy bit. but no. it has officially declared itself as a universal constant and i cant get any heavier... sobsob.

well at least im not getting any thinner either, which is somewhat consoling. maybe i should eat even more now...

* * *

oh and before i go. im wearing the neon green shirt (n.g.s) to work today, in the vain hope that its blinding brilliance will somehow make me appear friendlier. so far i am unable to ascertain the effectiveness of this theory, because there is no sign of anybody else at the moment. probably all recovering from the dinner.

guess i'd better get back to work. breakfast in less than an hour! (FOOD!)

*hums* heigh ho... heigh ho.. its off to work we goooo... lalala lala lalala lala... heigh ho! heigh ho! *end hums*(ironically.. this was sung by a bunch of dysfunctional dwarves..) :P

oh lucky you. bless your metabolism. i'm currently battling a rubber tire around my waist. help. damn you malaysian food. how can i possibly resist?! one more month or so and i'm back to hibernation. oh woe is me.

btw, green is so in right now. (gosh since when did i start to talk like that haha). but ANYWAY, yes, even if (pffft) vogue declares otherwise, i declare that green is the new black! *applause*

(mental disclaimer: rom is not stark raving mad, despite all evidence on the contrary... haha, kidding.)

hm, i'm not much of a fashion guy actually. just took green coz UH carol bought the bright orange shirt and i've always wanted to buy another bright shirt for myself. and you dont get brighter than green.

rubber tire around your waist? dont joke... the last time i saw you, you were built like a (shapely, muscular) brick wall.. hehe. i still resemble 2 chopsticks welded in the middle with a head plonked on top... :P
