I was working late one night (tonight actually) and I just couldn’t spell “such”.

“such |sə ch |
adjective, predeterminer, & pronoun”

Its, definitely time to sleep.

Nite.

Oh but for the courage! Some days I feel like I’m The Lion. Not from Narnia, but from Oz. So please. Dare me. Dare me to move.

I sure could do with the push.

Its a problem that we all have.

Its a problem that haunts us for as long as we can remember.

Its the good bye problem.

And what do I mean about this good bye problem?

Well, its the lengthy good bye problem. Prevalence among couples.

Take this scene for example.

Ah Beng want to go and sleep but want to show that he cares for his Ah Lian. Ah Lian on the other hand, wants to be the last voice or text or IM  in the conversation.

Ah Beng: Nite Nite Darling.

Ah Lian: XoXo, Wan Aunt.

Ah Beng: Go sleep la..

Ah Lian: you go first la…

Ah Beng: if you dont go I wont go…

Ah Lian: no no.. you put down first than I put down la..

Ah Beng: I guy wor.. I get the last say..

Ah Lian: I’m your Ah Lian, how can you say such things?

Ah Beng: ah yo.. sayang.. bye bye.. no need reply..

Ah Lian: You bye bye and no need reply..

Ah Beng: sayang.. i love lu manyak manyak, but you put down the phone and dont say anything..

Ah Lian: dont waaaaaaant…. You hang up…

Ah Beng: no.. you hang up..

Ah Lian: no.. you hang up.. hang up.. hang up..

I was going to continue the dialog, but if i do, either Ah Beng or Ah Lian will have the sufficient funds to do so. In my life, I have heard of a friend, have this problem until they completely ran out of credits or some call it, Airtime.

But no worries.

Learn from the big sister. To end a conversation, type END OF TRANSMISSION.

This way, one will get its last say and also hang up at the same time.

Hemp.. Someone should patent those phrases.

Definitely a time for the song, Highway to Hell by AC-DC.

Been doing a lot of volunteering work lately. Been caroling and bucket collecting a well worth 7 hours of my life.

And to be honest, people in England is very generous. I think I manage to collect over £30 just from begging.

“To all the beggars in the world, leave Malaysia and come to England. Salvation awaits!!!”

Meh.. I’m just joking.. “Go back to your home country..”

Well, Literature Review due in 10 days.

Got to run type. Bye.
