Hello happy healthy earthlings!
So I fractured my 5th metatarsal about a month ago and now I listen to disco and imagine I could dance boogie to Earth, Wind and Fire with my legg-o-wrap. Like they say, "once broken, considered sold." I guess what is broken in me, I have to learn to live with it. I know below are things I should have known since the day I could see and walk, but we tend to be superheroes sometimes, sooooo... here is what I learned from my fall!
1. Always look ahead where you are stepping on.. ESPECIALLY if you know there's a stairs/slope coming.
2. On the staircase, if any point of time your loose footwear decides to make for a run, do NOT ever ever EVER try to catch it. It is obviously gonna land soon and it will not break. I attempted to catch my flimsy slipper which in the end i had not and i broke a bone.
3. And... if you do break something already, might as well live to it with style...

Greetings from Brisbane, Australia!
Cmingo has kindly invited me to blog here, so HELLO!
Some of you might not know of my existence, so allow me to introduce myself. I'm Nadia, also known as Cmingo's friends-stealer, and Kah Heng and Eugene's housemate here in Brissy.
So here I am enjoying my summer holidays, while Kah Heng and Eugene are studying like crazy for their finals. C'est la vie d'etudiant médical!
Anyway, this post serves as an introduction because I haven't got any interesting blog material just yet.
Bye!

SUPER PET PEEVE
I think the blogosphere or whatever the young kids are calling it nowadays need to get together and start writing the ten commandments of blogging.
I don't care what the other 9 would be, but number one must be:
1. Thou shalt not write blogs if you cannot have grammar and spelling right.
Small mistakes are acceptable. Colloquialism is after all part of the charm of being a convoy of any language; your accent, your style, your flavour if you will. In that sense, GOOD manglish is acceptable, in fact here at lectureboys we use it everyday and we are proud of it.
But when a blatant piece of broken grammar or spelling stares at you in the face and pokes you in the eye with the hot burning rod of toe-cringing, enough is enough.
You know what the worst thing is? These people, instead of bothering to do a simple spell check for their previous monstrosity, write ANOTHER blog to JUSTIFY why they should have poor English and why you should leave them alone.
Things like:
"Oh these is my personel blog, my english is poor but I don't care because you don't have to read if you don't like bla bla bla"
"My english is not good but I dont care because whats more important is me as a person."
"Oh hello i am an ugly girl and i need to camwhore and go to sungai wang"
You don't have to master the language to be a blogger. That will be extremely boring. But if you are going to be dyslexic when telling us your daily adventures, then my advice would be 1. just post pictures 2. seek help
Why am I venting?
it's that time of the year I suppose.
