Update: The weather is still hot and I'm still paranoid

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Has anyone noticed how atrocious the weather has been?

I’ve been sweating so profusely that I lost 2 whole kilograms! That’s criminal!

The temperature has been in the thirties, and it has been extremely irritating and bothersome. Sounds just like my boss.

Anyway, the weather has been so hot that the American Government has now increased the bounty on Osama bin Laden to 50 million dollars and a lifetime’s supply of Paddlepops. Now that’s one helluva deal!

Oh! And during my regular-net-surfing-cum-slacking-time in the office, I discovered that there was a new Seven Wonders of the World.

Basically, for the uninformed, the Seven Wonders of the World are man-made structures that used to be grand, but are now quite obsolete. They also make people wonder ‘what the hell is this thing for again?’

The new Seven Wonders of the World are, in no consequential order: Taj Mahal, Great Wall of China, Christ Redeemer, Petra of Jordan, Machu Picchu of Peru, The Roman Colosseum and Chichen Itza in Mexico.

However, I personally feel that seven is not enough. They should have at least ten wonders!

For example, I would propose the following three wonders of the world:

1) Merlion

- Man-made? Check.

- Used to be grand? Check.

- Currently obsolete? Check.

-'What the hell is this thing for again?' Check, definitely.

2) and 3) Pamela Anderson's Chest

- Man-made? Check.

- Used to be grand? Hell yeah.

- Currently obsolete? Arguably.

- 'What the hell is this thing for again?' Baywatch has ended, people.

And there you have it, the Ten Wonders of the World.

On a personal note, I have been suffering for the past week.

I have been incredibly ill with a blocked nose, and I was living in fear for my precious, fragile life.

A blocked nose is an extremely serious ailment. It can result in asphyxia, which then in turn causes cerebral hypnoxia. Basically, you die.

This explains why I have not been updating my blog. Do you even think that I’ll be motivated to blog, when the very life I blog about is in danger?

That is why I have been walking around with an open jaw for the past week. My apologies to the people who saw me last week. It is nothing personal; I just had to open my mouth to continue living.

Thank God now, however, that I have recovered. Though I think that an entire week of walking around with my mouth agape has left my throat full of bacteria. Maybe this is why I have been coughing for the past few days.

Scary isn’t it? A cough can lead to pneumonia, and subsequently, you die.

But wait! Here’s something to lift the somber mood of my blog!

While snooping around the Internet, I found something that caught my interest.

Some students in Ngee Ann Poly are starting an organization called the ‘School of Rock’.

The instruments available are guitars, keyboards, bass and drums. There are four weekly lessons in a month, and it will only cost $35/month.

That rate is extremely cheap and reasonable. The best part is that anyone, absolutely anyone, can join this organization. You don’t even have to be an NP alumni. That’s how easy it is.

So if you’re interested, just drop Ming a note at kayjm10@hotmail.com.

I know I’ll be doing that.

Oh, and please make sure that you are very interested in music! The last thing this organization need, in my personal opinion, are people who turn up for one lesson and disappear after that.

Please don’t waste their time, and your time too!
