I don't usually like to copy-paste those joke e-mails, but this one was too awesome not to.
( These could fit on post-it notes... )

A short conversation I had in the kitchen early morning, whilst making coffee... to note, whenever I make my coffee, I use as little hot water as possible, then top up the mug with cold milk with a ratio of 1/3 water + 2/3 milk. And this... I gulp down in one go.

Co-worker: Wha...? Don't you sip your coffee...?
Me: I'm in it for the caffeine kick, not the flavour.

To be fair, I'm yet to find any instant coffee with an enjoyable flavour... except maybe those ones with added milk+sugar+flavouring, which doesn't help when you're trying to cut down on sugar intake.

Other than that, hello LJ! For a while I was pretty sure LJ got blocked by the office, hence my not updating since I'm too lazy to update when I get home...

Oh, and I got married last October.

Had a surprise when I had an e-mail telling me that Vox.com was shutting down. While it's not something I use on a daily basis, I do use it as a photo blog; somewhere just to post random photos I took with my phone. One of the reason I chose Vox was because (for some reason) the services was already integrated into my Nokia phone.

Right around the same time scratchbook mentioned Posterous, and after reading the features, decided to move my Vox photo blog there. Took some time since the Posterous Import didn't quite work as I had hoped it would, but at least it's finished.

Somewhere along the line, I started reading about comparisons between Tumblr and Posterous. I already have a Tumblr blog, and reconsidered my move to Posterous. I mean, I already have a Tumblr account, why not just create a new blog on Tumblr and move my Vox blog there?

In the end Posterous won out.

• While Tumblr has a nice design to it., the fact that you have to install an add-on just to get comments enabled... no.
• For the reason above, because I don't envision people commenting on the posts, I made that Tumblr blog something of a collection of contents. I'd post things I found interesting on Tumblr, but they're pretty much for my own interest and use, like having an online archive of things I found interesting. And all of the posts in my Tumblr are that; something written/generated/found elsewhere. I think there's probably only ONE Tumblr post where I actually wrote something. ...actually, now I can't even remember if I ended up posting that one entry or decided to post it to LJ as a private entry....
• Also, no basic display of tags... having been used to Wordpress with its tags and categories, this feels like a let-down. Yeah, you can add a block of Javascript to get a tag cloud, but it doesn't always work from what I've tried.

...so I guess I'll try Posterous and if it doesn't work, jump ship to Wordpress later...

 Went to watch Inception with a friend.

It was... a very good movie. I actually didn't find a single thing to complain about, which is rare. ...and I always thought (ever since I accidentally caught a glimpse of him in Titanic) that Leonardo's just a pretty face. I have now revised my opinion. ...the fact that my perception had managed to stay the same so far, is probably because I rarely go to the movies... and when I do, it's usually to watch animated movies like UP.

One thing I found odd... I know most people walked out of the cinema confused, or then went to question what had happened and formulate their own theory, and I sort of anticipated doing the same, but... I didn't. I walked out feeling that it was a very neat and tidy movie, and felt that it's perfect as it was, and didn't feel like it needed more explanation. 

...of course, that's probably because I missed something like 1/5 of the dialogues to my sucky listening skill. Which means I'd most likely have to buy the DVD just so I can get the subtitle and re-appreciate the plot...

Unrelated, am doing 30 Days Drawing Challenge. Am enjoying it so far.

The first Facebook mishap at work! ...at least, one that I know of...

Posted by our resident web designer/developer:
"I love my new bed! All the ladies love my new bed too. I think they do anyway, but at least I know I do."

Replied to by his manager:
"We know you love your bed because you're still in it, and you're late for work."

I wish I can take a screenshot, but both people aren't on my Friends' list, and this was told to me by my manager, who added both people as his Friend...

Went to watch Drum Tao a few weeks back. It was more than what I had expected... granted, I wasn't actually expecting anything, but well...

( Ramblings )
The ramblings above won't be interesting to people, so I'll just post a picture I took from Drum Tao's official website. Felt that this picture was a nice representation of the show itself...

Again, just a note to self. Ignore this post.

• Tech Envy
• iAntiClimax
• He has one now.

This looks mighty interesting. Anyone's interested in going?

2 thoughts which have been occupying my mind lately.

1. A colleague at work is a vegan. We're talking about the full deal here, no animal products, doesn't eat milk or egg or anything that contains either, doesn't wear leather, etc, etc. And he treats his pets (cats) like his own kids, even asking another colleague while on the phone if she'd like to talk to his cat (after she asked what that's sound in the background; turned out it was the cat meowing).
   My question is... considering his strict adherence to the vegan principles... does he feed the cat vegan pet food as well? Do they sell vegan pet food out there?
   So far I haven't asked him the question. Just curious.
2. The English language. The words "horrible" and "horrific" both carry with it a negative meaning (as well as "horrid"). I assume that's because they came from the same root word. Taking that thought further, then, why does "terrible" and "terrific" means the opposite?

Raised the question to a colleague, and all he said was this: "So this is the kind of things you think about." "Yes." "God you have a strange mind."

Went to see Russell Peters live early May. If anything, he's still as entertaining as ever, and was worth the somewhat expensive ticket price... although thinking about it, realising that the ticket price was similar to Cirque du Soleil with less music and less visual treat... probably made up by the number of laughter.

It was a birthday present for BF, and I was happy that he enjoyed himself. That's probably the best aspect of the whole experience.
