Google Made Me Do Maths

Linora Low — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:12:00 +0000

All i wanted to do was just to send an email. That’s all. Not really asking much. Then all of a sudden I get this lil pop up. asking me to do maths.. Maths! And they only gave me 60 seconds to do all those math questions. Yeah yeah, 60 seconds is a lot. I’m just a lazy. lol. So in order to ensure that I’m not going to fall asleep while sending an email, they decide to create a little thinking game. Come on!! I just wanna send my mail lol. Actually this was my fault, I think I must’ve enabled the function in the settings. Haha Google has tons of things happening it’s lab. This is an old one but take a look at Mail Goggles.

Squeezy Meezy

Ever since I saw this during my trip to Singapore, I’ve been looking high and low for this little contraption. I know it’s nothing to really shout about but I like things that provide convenience for me. Who doesn’t, eh? So finally finding it and using it, has given me a whole new view at doing a mundane, daily routine. Brushing my teeth. Yeah it’s such a joy now to take up a toothbrush and squeeze out the toothpaste. I found this while I was searching for a birthday gift. And chanced upon a little store in Great Eastern Mall, that sold a bunch of interesting stuff. I got it for aroun RM12, not too bad. I mean just look at it!

You roll it up and it helps you to squeeze every single bit of the toothpaste out of the container. Never again will i waste anymore toothepaste. Never again, will I have to squeeze it all againg from the bottom all the way to the top, just to have a bit of the paste peaking out. All you have to do.. is rooOoOOOLLLlll… Roll Roll Roll Your Paste, I can make you smile, With a taste so mild… anyday.. Yes I’m thoroughly bored, where I start making my own songs according to the song “Dream”. But it’s a little wonder. See how thin my paste is now?

And i get to hang it neatly away from the wet toothbrushes on my wall. Genius!

5 Things That Break A Heart

This is not something I’m feeling now and I’m not getting emo. I just felt like writing something on the things that break a heart. My heart in particular and the situations when they have been broken.

The day I found out that I had to put my dog to sleep. I had to swipe the credit card which was to pay for him being put down. I had just gotten back from Penang that day and the first thing I had to do was head down to the vet, because everyone else was busy that day. My aunt had picked me up from the LRT and i settled the bill. Was pretty bad.. i didn’t think that it would’ve shook me up that much, since I had already known that he had to go to sleep. I didn’t hit me till i got to the vet, that he was gone. It’s a terrible feeling, to instantly know at that moment you lost something… even more so that it was a life. May not have been a person, but it was still a life..
The first time, I heard someone swear at me F*** Y**, and it is someone very close to me. Till this day, the memory of it is still in my head and I can still envision how the words were uttered at me. It can bring a tear to my eye, for it really did hurt me.
The occasions when i had some really bad arguments with my other half. They were really very bad and it was a bad pow wow. Words that that weren’t meant were exchanged, as a defense mechanism. I thought there was a sure break from there, from the way we both stormed away from one another. Calls were refused..this was all in a day by the way. Fights like these really are a pain…
The times, that I lose my temper and I end up going into a real tantrum with the people I’m close to. It is at those times, that I really hate myself for losing it. Of late I have been losing it and I don’t know why.. maybe it’s the lack of sleep, but i’ve been getting terribly irritated. When I snap, that’s when my heart breaks because I know I can look like a lil monster. When i start to be that monster, I know i’m letting not just myself down but the people whom i care about as well and it stabs me in the heart. Related with number 3..4 is also one of those things, which I know that is just not appealing to God’s eyes and that I’m behaving in a way which is unbecoming. The thought that I know this breaks God’s heart breaks mine directly.
…… I just realised… I don’t have a fifth thing that breaks my heart… and I want to keep it that way..

Ok I’m done with my “emo” post for today.
