Guess what i learned today? When you order a large set meal at McDonald's, only the fries and drink get upsized. And all this time I thought this included the burger being upsized! My stomach was growling by 1.15 so i decided to treat it with a McValue lunch. When the waitress had asked me if i wanted a large set, I said yes thinking, "Well, I'm pretty famished, I'd definitely be able to chow down a larger-than-the-usual-medium burger.

I ended up finishing the not-so-large-but-actually-standard-size burger but left the coke and fries practically untouched. This caused Shaun (college mate) to ask why I hadn't ordered a medium instead. I told him i wanted a larger burger today. Haha! He then proceeded to explain that the burgers are standard size, but the drinks and fries vary in size.

I would've saved about RM 1.30 if i had ordered a medium. The things one can learn in (well, not exactly in) college.

I don't know why, but a lot of students tell their lecturers to check out their blogs. I guess that's okay, depending on what they write about. Pretty daft of them if they crap about a certain lecturer then ask that lecturer to 'check out my awesome blog!'. If some students use their blog as public diary, then wouldn't they feel awkward about the lecturers knowing about their personal lives? I'd find it an invasion of privacy! Well, if i was them. My blog is a different kind of crapping.

I guess different people have different purposes for writing blogs. I just wouldn't tell my lecturers (not that I'd would complain about any here though).

If I told my English lecturer, she'd just scan every post for grammatical/spelling errors. I've got my Grandma and mother to do that ( which i appreciate very much, of course ).

If I told my IT lecturer, he'd probably think, 'So this is what she means when she says she uses the computer a lot. I thought she research all the important stuff like the Digital Revolution la'.

If my Maths teacher found out, he'd probably say, 'This is what you do in your spare time! I thought you're the kind of person who uses her time wisely and solve Maths problems!'

Do you sometimes think about thinking? I do that all the time! Instead of thinking about something, i tend to think about thinking about that something. It sometimes feels like I'm doing reverse psychology on myself. Or is that an entirely different thing?

Aaauuuggghhh

There's actually a term for this 'thinking about thinking'. My Study Skills lecturer had mentioned it, but it sounded difficult to pronounce so i totally forgot it. I'll google it later.

Dog1: Do you have water in your ears?
Dog2: What??
Dog1: I said, do you have water in your ears?
Dog2: Whaat??
Dog1: I said, DO YOU HAVE WATER IN YOUR EARS??
Dog2: I can't hear you, i have water in my ears!!

Some of my college administrators encourage us students to participate in as many clubs/activities as we can. As the head of the matriculation Center (I think he's the head) puts it - "It's not just about getting A's in exams, it's about developing your soft skills." Way to go, Mr. Head of the Matriculation Dept!

I've thus decided to sign up for a couple of clubs like CF, maybe dodgeball (I'm serious). I signed up for the (ok, not serious about the dodgeball) Community Service Sphere today after surviving a gruelling interview with the president of the Student Council.

How did one of my brothers respond when i broke the news to him? He played the punchline drum! You know, the drum sound that plays after a lame joke. You know what it sounds like, right?

If no, click here to find out!

( I actually wanted to fool you guys when you clicked on the 'click here' text. I was going to colour it hyperlink-blue and underline it, fooling you into thinking it was actually a link! Sadly, there is no underline icon here and therefore just have to provide the actual link. )

I wonder who started this LOL business

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
