Because I love to quote people, because the people around me make me laugh (and I love them for making me laugh) and some of these are really long overdue.

14th February 2008 - Valentines’ Day
I do not have one special someone, but two. So I bought heart shaped balloons for my two special someones - Liz and Mithi, as a token of our friendship, and for being my two lovely sidekicks for the past … two years?

If you are wondering why there are three balloons, the last balloon is for myself. No, it is not a crime to get a Valentine’s Day gift for myself, aye? I love myself anyway. (Haha.)

Balloons make me happy.

Mithi freaked out when she saw those balloons, claiming that she has a phobia towards them and I practically had to chase her around just to make her accept the darn balloon.

The whole episode was witnessed by Mister Professor and I swear, he had the queerest expression on his face. He probably thinks the two of us are lesbians now.

Oh, anyway. Midway during the class:-

“Those balloons look like butt cracks.”
- Mithi.

My eyes grew wide and I had to control the urge to burst out laughing in the middle of the class. Instead, I snorted, and tried my best to focus on my notes.

Later on, when passing the balloon to Liz during the break, I related the earlier incident to her.

Me: “Mithi thinks the balloons look like butt cracks.”
Liz: “No, they don’t.”
Me: “Aha! See?” (Grins at Mithi.)
Liz: “They don’t look like butt cracks. They look more like boobs to me.”

(Facepalm.)

There you go, my two lovely sidekicks. And I’ll never look at heart-shaped balloons the same way again.

Today - Interesting Radio Advert
Happened to notice an advertisement airing over the radio on maximizing your assets, which goes something like “Size does not matter … get your instant cleavage today … no matter what cup size you are … blahblahblah.”

I started laughing.

“Instant cleavage? What do they mean by that? Are they just going to add black paint to make the non-cleavage look like cleavage?”

In fact, the words ‘instant cleavage’ makes me think of instant noodles. Just add water?

Then, my mum popped the weirdest question.

“What’s a cleavage?”

I whirled around to face her, my face aghast.

“How can you not know what cleavage is?” I exclaimed.

“Of course, I know,” she grinned, with a hint of cheekiness. “I have lots of it!”

(Facepalm again.)

Before you start thinking that all my friends (and family) have their minds in the gutter, let me assure you that they do not always behave like that … well, almost.

Just for laughs.

Now, back to work!
