of car accidents
We were beginning to be a bit restless during this Project Management seminar when a few of us at the back of the room heard a car revving quite a lot, followed by the screeching of a burnout. Huh! Hooligans, I thought idly and wondered if it was a blue WRX. (I have NO idea why I thought of a blue WRX)
Much to my surprise I heard the tire screech again, but this time it was as if it was braking really hard, but losing control as it skidded over gravel – making a loud SSHHHHHRRRRR, shhhhhrrrrr sound. Half of me hoped they weren’t losing control, the other half perked up and was waiting for….
*CRASH*
I quickly sat up from my slouch and looked out at the window (why do we do that even though we know we can’t see what we want to see?) with a half gleeful, half shock expression pasted on my face. My eyes inadvertently met Daniel’s eyes (a fellow Peer Networker) and we kinda shared a look that said, “OMG… a CRASH!” He pulled a “man, that’s gotta suck” face, while my face was still stuck on “pleasantly shocked”.
I’m so terrible. When I heard the crash, there was this elation that just shot through me and I distinctly remember thinking, “oh my gods! FINALLY I heard a crash!” I so wanted to run to the window, press my nose against the glass, and peer down at the street to get a glimpse of the wreckage.
I don’t want anyone to be hurt, gods forbid! But I think there’s something about a *screeeeeech* and then *crash* that sends satisfaction through you – that it’s a sound that’s completed. You know what comes next and if you don’t hear it… well, I know I feel cheated. =P
When the seminar was over, I totally had forgotten to check it out =P But I got to see 2 fire trucks, in all their glory of noise and lights, pull up in front of the Hilton Hotel on George St. for some reason or another =D haha more excitement for the day.
Anyways, me getting all excited about car crashes and stuff reminded me of this flash clip animated to a segment of Dane Cook’s stand up material: http://www.danecook.com/?video=32
Heheh, it’s pretty funny ^_^ The last half of the short clip is what I was reminded of.
I’ve been meaning to post this up for a while as well, but well… =P You know the deal.
A couple of weeks ago, we went to Marin’s birthday party. We got to tour his beautifully decorated house (Pannette has got such wonderful tastes and a good eye for things that match!)…. anyways, we somehow ended up watching this really dodgy Hong Kong movie called “The Twins Effect II”.
The fighting scenes were quite terrible and unrealistic, especially after watching Shinobi (or something like that), but it was a light-hearted movie with some real good dorky bits that you can’t help but laugh at.
During the climatic scenes of the movie, one of the main dudes ran to get his (magic) sword that was stuck high up on the wall. He ran towards it, used the throne to climb up as high as he could, stuck out his hand and the sword detached itself, flying right into it! We were like, what the… If it could do that, why didn’t he do that where he was standing?
I tried to give the “flaw” the benefit of the doubt and suggested, “Maybe it’s only works at a short range.” To which Corp. Cow said, “Maybe it’s bluetooth!” XD
“Bloody good call” as BM would put it.
*sighs* Alright, I guess it was a you-had-to-be-there thing =T
Well…. we cracked up lots and I know I can’t look at bluetooth in the same way again =)
Weird Places to be bitten by a mosquito: my eyelids has has always had the trophy for this one. Followed by between the toes. (You might want to stop reading if you’re a prude… or you just don’t wanna know ;P)
However, last night’s bites stole it rightfully away – the underside of my boob. And yes, I was wearing clothes! So I have no idea how it got in there to do such a darstardly deed. -_-
I just hope it doesn’t get itchy while I talk to my would-be supervisor for my thesis later today.
Meh.
