Eeuuhhh...has anyone ever died from having to write a thesis?
Even with the days dotted with a host of study snacks (baby carrots and tzatziki, honey tangerines and Bonne Maman lemon tartlets, chocolate in milk and dark, slices of Manchego or smoked Gouda, Greek yoghurt swirled with fig jam); breaks for dancing (Scissor Sisters, Boney M, Kylie); and brief flirtations with gym trainers (yes, go ahead, laugh); this kind of bites the big one.
However.
The other day at the library, I borrowed Freud’s Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, and it’s due back the first of April. I think that’s pretty funny.

today pap said, "i tell you a joke angh? it's very funny." to which i replied, "i don't believe you."
aaaaaa!!!!!
ch! how come he still likes you better?
also, was the joke a limerick??
the "joke" was, adrian and cindy and faith and gabriel have been in town since thursday, and at some point pap txt'd adrian to say, "give me a call when you can", and then adrian called back some time later, this morning, and pap asked him which hotel he was at, and it turns out that adrian and cindy and faith and gabriel are staying one floor below pap at the menzies. thassit.
funny what! not funny meh?
uhhhh. solly.

this afternoon, pap said to matthew, "matthew, lemme tell you a joke." to which matthew replied, "if it's an internet joke i don't want to hear it."
"ok, i'll tell you. meiying's cousin is in town..."
"i've heard this story."
"oh you have? isn't it funny? so that's the joke."
"yes, that's a coincidence."
Is this the same gym trainer from last year?
cc, why don't y'alls just humor the poor man!
tym: uhhmm...yes and no. which is to say, please--pick a gym trainer, any gym trainer. gym trainer from last year, irish guy with the sweet eyes, really beautiful black dude with the dreads... :-p
no, but, really, i'm not instigating this!! swear!! i go, i'm plugged into my ipod, i'm totally concentrating on oprah or ellen or dr. phil (or whatever show they're playing on the overhead tvs), and there's all this smiling and waving and coming to play with my hair. hello, not to say i am so damn saht! clearly these guys flirt with anything with boobs... well, maybe not man-boobs...
oh, alright, fine, since i have such an international audience... ^_^
when i was in school, the word "saht" mostly meant "hot," like when the boys were drooling over the first-year girls. however, the delicate intricacies of today's word of the day now brought to you by the fine folks at talking cock, with a last, unexpected deviation:
SAHT
Of uncertain provenance, it's the local equivalent of "cool" or "groovy."
"You got tickets to the sold-out concert? How come you so saht one?"

SAHT SAHT BOH CHIOH
The ultimate in coolness or grooviness—literally: so cool that there is no smile. Springs from those "cool" types you see in magazine ads who always look frosty, grouchy, or dazed.
See also: Saht
TEH LUM PAH CHI SAHT
One of the most graphic expressions in this dictionary, it is also one of the most inspired. Literally, it translates from Hokkien as "to commit suicide by squeezing your testicles." The Hokkien equivalent of hara-kiri, it expresses profound regret and frustration, and is often said after a confession of having done something monumentally stupid.
"Ah Beng accidentally threw his winning 4D ticket into the incinerator? Wah lau, like that he might as well teh lum pah chi saht."
I thought 'saht' was spelled 'saat'. Don't think kids really use it anymore, though...
eeeyur! kids these days! cheh!
wait. do kids these days use "eeeyur" and "cheh" ?
:-p
