I Have Learned

I've been working all day and was bored out of my mind. I was waiting for something interesting to happen until my cell phone started ringing...

(ME for MaximEyes, WC for Woman Caller)

ME: Hello!

WC: Hi, the cell phone you gave me is not working.

ME: I think you got the wrong number, ma'am.

WC: What do you mean I got the wrong number?

ME: Ummm, I mean this is not who you're trying to reach.

WC: I'm calling Rogers. You are Rogers.

ME: No, I'm not Rogers. I told you this is the wrong number.

WC: Hey listen. You have to fix my phone because...

I hung up on her, went back to work, and learned that there are people who are more stupid than my boss.

I Still Want a Hula Hoop

Don't we all love Christmas songs and carols? It's now the time of the year when we get to listen to those beautiful tunes. And that's another reason I love Christmas! I just love walking in the mall and listening to the different Christmas carols playing in the stores. Looking at the Christmas trees and decorations also makes the image perfect.

If you love Christmas songs, and love Sesame Street and The Chipmunks, then you'll like the little something I have for you today. Here are four Christmas songs sung by Sesame Street's muppet characters and one song sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks. They're really funny and cute. They reminded me of those shows that I grew up with. I generally miss so many things about my childhood.


A Sesame Street Christmas - All I Want For Christmas
A Sesame Street Christmas - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
A Sesame Street Christmas - Keep Christmas With You
A Sesame Street Christmas - The Twelve Days of Christmas

'G' is for Granite

My level G road test was today. Of course, It had to snow on the day of my test. But I didn't let the weather conditions affect my driving. My Chinese examiner's mouth smelled like rotten eggs. Now that was affecting my driving. I also received a text message while I was driving so that was another temporary distraction. Anyways, the good news is that I passed my driving test. Woohoo!

I was so happy. I called the close ones to let them know I passed and went to have lunch at some Chinese restaurant. On my drive down the multi-storey car parking, I miscalculated the distance from a huge granite pole and accidentally hit it. Maybe It's wrong to sing (while driving) the song that goes: I'm Boombastic say me fantastic touch me on my back she says I'm Mr Ro...mantic. I felt like crud, and decided to go to Urban Behavior to buy me something to cheer me up. So I went and bought a suit and a pair of leather gloves.

Now I'm left with scratches on my dented passenger back door and I gotta fix it soon because it looks ugly. The absurd thing is that my car never touched an object on the go ever since I bought it. But it did on the day I got my G license. Please refer to this post Life's Ironic and Vexing Facts.
