There isn't a time when I don't feel like telling you,
1) You've got an ego that's way too large for your capability
2) Your sense of logic is just about as accurate as a deaf recognising the works of Beethoven
3) Your questions had been the best detours anyone can have in a discussion
4) Last but not least, your humor had been as entertaining as a dead fish in a tank
Beijing air pollution is slowly killing me...
The constant nonsensical chatter of people is bothering me...
The dry and hot weather is sucking the life out of anyone who dares venture out of the artificial air-conditioned cocoon...
I can't solve all the problems... But at least this new baby can... I want it!!!
When I say I don't know / I'm not sure...
It means:
1) I respect you as one of my peers in terms of knowledge and would like to engage in an intellectual conversation with you, willingly and humbly accept any mistakes or misinformed judgement I might have.
2) This might be despite the fact that I know that I'm more well-read and informed than you are.
Don't mistake my respect for your opinion as a sign of weakness.
Just for laughs... ;)
1. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
2. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
3. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
4. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
5. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
6. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
7. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
8. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
9. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
bah.. thank god for the 4:3 aspect that mypaper crew is using.. at least i'm not looking half as fat!
anyway, had my first encounter with the media. check out mypaper.sg for the vodcast on the 豆花。
frankly, i was quite impressed by mypaper's articles. juicy and entertaining tabloid but with a much more professional journalistic angle to their article, unlike their more established counterpart, The Not-so-New Paper.
“Too often we measure everything and understand nothing. The three most important things you need to measure in a business are customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and cash flow. If you’re growing customer satisfaction, your global market share is sure to grow, too. Employee satisfaction gets you productivity, quality, pride, and creativity. And cash flow is the pulse—the key vital sign of a company.” -- JACK WELCH --
