Melvyn said I sound like a giant when I walked in my heels in the hall today. :(((((((
Then stupid Eugene said I am fat (but he's always saying that).
I eat, I'm fat, I don't eat, I'm also fat. Might as well eat, but then ppl say I'm fat, so don't eat? Still fat anyway!
I wish I was the size of a peanut. No one would care if you're fat, if you're the size of a peanut.

A WHITE ELEPHANT IS:A burdensome possession; creating more trouble than it is worth.
ORIGINWhite (albino) elephants were regarded as holy in ancient times in Thailand and other Asian countries. Keeping a white elephant was a very expensive undertaking, since the owner had to provide the elephant with special food and provide access for people who wanted to worship it. If a Thai King became dissatisfied with a subordinate, he would give him a white elephant. The gift would, in most cases, ruin the recipient.
References to Indian and Thai veneration of white elephants dates back to at least the early 17th century. The first reference in English to the idiomatic meaning of the term 'white elephant' comes in 1851 G. E. Jewbury's Letters, 1892:
"His services are like so many white elephants, of which nobody can make use, and yet that drain one's gratitude, if indeed one does not feel bankrupt."
(HAHAHA see I told you I made the story up! At least I got the king-of-Thailand part right :D)

i keel you!
You have got to watch this. It made me crack up and roll on the ground laughing.
In other news, yesterday I:
1) learnt how to play Bm on the guitar without hopping to 7th fret (thanks Joshua!);
2) made sickly-sweet trifle at Ai Poh's house, with help from Lihui, Yanwei and Aipoh my turbo stirrer;
3) wrote a song about Ai Poh's house, called "Ai Poh's House" (how original);
4) had to find my way to the MRT from Ai Poh's house with Yanwei who was totally unhelpful but very entertaining;
5) ate Ai Poh's tom yam soup, peeled prawns with Yanwei, played guitar with Minnie, pinched Mel for poking me all the time, slapped Yewliang also for poking me all the time, wandered around the wine & liquor section in Giant with Lincoln, Eugene, Yewliang and Lihui (but we didn't buy anything! We only bought very safe, non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice that didn't sparkle and which Yanwei, Lihui, Ai Poh and I quietly finished in the kitchen HO HO).
I had fun yesterday. Now to work, and to pray for 4E5 and hope they are all studying (yes, Minnie, I'm looking at YOU).
:)
... Silence! I KEEL YOU!
