Your Score: Semicolon

You scored 30% Sociability and 94% Sophistication!

Congratulations! You are the semicolon! You are the highest expression of punctuation; no one has more of a right to be proud. In the hands of a master, you will purr, sneering at commas, dismissing periods as beneath your contempt. You separate and connect at the same time, and no one does it better. The novice will find you difficult to come to terms with, but you need no one. You are secure in your elegance, knowing that you, and only you, have the power to mark the skill or incompetence of the craftsman.

You have no natural enemies; all fear you.

And never, NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot appear in dialogue!

This reminded me of the time when I was creating names for my fantasy business empire. We would be known as the Punctuation Group, and we’ll have a consultancy arm called “Ellipsis Consulting”. And because I love what I do, we’ll have a production house as well, called “Exclamation Mark Productions”, or just “! Productions”.

Tag line for “Ellipsis Consulting” was “Because your business should never be a full stop”.
And tag line for “! Productions” was “Always something to shout about”.

Not bad eh?

A Happy Hour

Posted by Ruok On August - 28 - 2007

Read up about the place a couple of weeks back and since I was in the neighbourhood, I decided to head towards the tuckshop during my “recess” time yesterday.

Let me tell, you they serve the most awesome steak sandwich evar. The first bite itself was an unforgettable experience, the meat was juicy and succulent, and with the soft yet not so soft toasted focaccia, the whole bite just practically melts in your mouth. And the follow-up bite, this time with a taste of portobello in the mix, just leaves you wanting for more.

A Happy Hour

And the best part is that they have this chilled fermented barley drink called Asahi at only $4.50! Woot!

But really its not. The sandwich is really that good. The cheap beer is just the icing on the cake. :D

(NB : All the nifty icons are taken from their funky website! )

Oh yeah, and its really great to be drinking beer on your lunch hour. ;)

Looks Can Kill

nullAt an office party, last week.

“Mummy!” she spoke in chinese, “I recognise him! He’s the murderer!!” her finger pointed sorely at yours truly.

What can I say, I have killer looks. ;)

How Do You Talk To An Angel

Posted by Ruok On August - 20 - 2007

Recently, one of my favourite shower songs kept popping into my head and so I asked on my facebook, “How Do You Talk To An Angel?”, hoping to see if people still remember the song.

Here’s the response I got :

Terz : I don’t date angels. They’re not … naughty … enough.

Betty: i prefer not to date things with wings. cheekens on the other hand, are yummy when bbq-ed…

Kahkilang : Just be yourself!

Theresa : first, you need a ladder. second, breath mints.

Zeus : first you need to ask the angel’s father for permission lah!

Only Hermione & Jer got it right…

Hermione : it’s like trying to catch a falling star

Jer : ask the heights :P

Although technically, it was The Heights who first asked the question :

All I want to say is I wasn’t really asking the question. After all, I’m rushing into a place where even angels fear to thread…
