a random msn conversation

today, at 1.20am, i had a mass msn conversation with my lawr tg. we started talking about where we could go after presentation on monday, interjected widely with comments, arguments and general queries about the presentation on monday.

you know you've been reading too many cases when this appears in your conversation...

for the unenlightened, Lemongrass, Blackpool, Spencer n Harding, and AsiaHotel are just a few of the cases we're currently researching for the presentation and subsequently our research binder.

so yes. law does screw up your brain. and your sleep patterns.

fantasy is literature for the imagination

i haven't been to the library in a while. in fact, i haven't read a book in a longer while. so over the weekend, i paid a visit to library@orchard. and realised there's nothing worth reading there. then i went to borders and kino. and found that the only book worth reading (anansi boys by neil gaiman) was not worth purchasing cos it was in hardcover. and i don't really care for big books. although it was at a special price... then i went to sunny bookstore at far east. and realised that the other book i wanted (traitor's knot by janny wurts) wasn't worth getting as well, cos i didn't like the cover. (ok, i'm not usually so picky, but it just didn't go with the other 6 books in the series you see....)

and then it hit me. i've lost touch with fantasy books. life is so sad. i mean, in the past, there was dragonlance, mercedes lackey's valdemar series and other books, janny wurts, melanie rawn's dragon prince series, george martin, robert jordan's rather boring uncompleted WoT series, salvatore, eddings, david gemmell, terry brooks, pratchett, piers anthony, the list was endless. now, there's a dearth of fantasy books. it's appalling. depressing. simply awful. or maybe, i just haven't been reading enough. too many cases filling the head with nonsense, and not enough fuel for the imagination. growl.

yes, i realise this is an awfully geek post. but i'd really like a recommendation for a good fantasy author. (and. i. will. personally. murder. anyone. who. tells. me. harry. potter.)

btw, who wants to watch domino? keira knightley!

chocolate coated sunsets

i saw the sunset today. and realised it's been quite a long while since i last saw a sunset. especially one like today's. the clouds partially obscuring the sun, the wind idly drifting the clouds along, the shimmering dying red glow of the setting sun. damn. i wish i had my camera then. maybe i should start carrying my camera around more...

saddened. however, on a sidenote (a very out of point sidenote, but who the hell cares), i just finished off a tub of ben&jerrys new york super fudge chunk, with generous helpings of strawberries and bananas. woohooo!!! on a major high now.

oh, and in case you're wondering, there wasn't a hot chick to share with. and no chocolate sauce all over the place or whatever (sadly).

but damn. chocolate really rocks man. RAWKS!

some random amusements

i normally wouldn't post something so lame. but maybe the tedium of law school's getting to me. and i'm starting to find dumb things vaguely amusing. anything to get my mind off the books right?
every good story deserves a plot and a decent background, so here goes:

i was bumming in my fav spot (i.e. law lounge) late one night (ok it was only 8plus...) and enjoying the quiet solitude, when suddenly there was a mad hammering on the glass doors... ...we skip forward to the main story:

yoyo yang meimei and her dear friend tan kiat boon (names have been altered to protect the truly innocent, and no, neither was me even though my chinese surname is yang and there's a boon and a kiat in my name) invaded the lounge and hijacked my laptop. anyway, the bottom line:

yoyo was merrily impersonating me and msning the world at large. actually, so was kiatboon. in fact, they were taking turns. and a friend of mine, unsuspectingly, fell into their dire trap. he politely invited me to go swimming. and here's what they said (him and 'me'):

.
.
.
8:49:25 PM friend: booooooooonnn kiat
8:49:27 PM friend: tmr wanna swim anot
8:49:44 PM wenjie: want
8:49:46 PM wenjie: i swim wif yu
8:49:49 PM wenjie: yu swim wif me
8:49:50 PM friend: okay
8:49:52 PM wenjie: we swim swim
8:49:54 PM friend: daniel also siwmming
8:49:57 PM friend: happy like fish
8:49:58 PM wenjie: oh yay
8:50:09 PM wenjie: yar..happy like fishes in the swimming pool
8:50:10 PM wenjie: hee
8:50:37 PM friend: yahh
8:50:43 PM friend: then they will all get chlorinated and dieE
8:50:51 PM wenjie: yea
8:53:18 PM wenjie: yay...then we happy happy in the deep blue ocean under the swimming [pool
8:53:19 PM wenjie: lol
8:54:11 PM friend: under the schwimming pool got deep blue ocean ?
.
.
.
(thread was slightly altered to protect names)

and so it went on, my poor deluded friend thinking it was me, and me not knowing about the swimming tmr. until now. and i still have no idea how or why that would ever sound like me. firstly, i don't say 'yu' and 'yur'. only ONE person in my experience does that consistently. and the only time i talk so crazy would be if i'm totally completely unequivocally dead drunk, or on an inexplicable high. which has probably happened before. but not on msn.

so. bottom line. if you ever have reason to suspect the person at the other end of the conversation isn't who it should be, DON'T TYPE ANYTHING INCRIMINATING!!! i mean, can you imagine flirting with some random girl and it turns out her brother's at the other end? or worse still, boyfriend. (all situations are purely hypothetical, of course)

or better yet, for security purposes, have a secret question/codephrase/petname/styleoftalking that will allow you to identify yourself.
