Each time when Mr Tay and I are in the car, and when I yawn, he yawns. Same goes, when he yawns I automatically followsuit.
So, I got curious. Why is it like this? Why is yawning so infectious / contagious? Because each time, when I yawn and then as Mr Tay yawns, I'd go, "Why you copy me?" "Don't have la! I just... yawned!"
So anyways, here are my findings:
Scientists at Japan's Primate Research Institute wanted to find out whether yawning is as contagious for nonhuman primates (animal group that includes humans and monkeys) as it is for adult humans. They showed six adult chimpanzees videos of yawning and nonyawning chimps. During and immediately after the yawning videos, the chimps yawned more than twice as often as they yawned after watching nonyawning chimps
Why is a gaping mouth so infectious? The most widely accepted belief: "Humans have built-in social instincts to do things as a group," says Robert Provine, a psychologist at the University of Maryland. "Contagious yawning helps synchronize a group to the same behavior [like going to sleep] at the same time." This latest study suggests that chimps, too, are wired to recognize group activities--even naptime.
***
Yawns are so contagious, Provine says, that our brains are probably "programmed" to respond to a face stretched into a yawn. Since early humans lived in groups, yawning may have been a way to synchronize the group's behavior, a transition between one activity and another. A round of contagious yawns might signal it's time for bed. (source: here)
So, next time when I wanna go home, I should just yawn infront of Mr Tay.
Fire drill at 11.30am. Deva informed me of the drill at precisely 11.10am. "Oh really ah? Ok, I must go pee and slap on another coat of lipgloss now."
Then as the alarm went off, 1500+ employees were seen walking leisurely towards the stairs to 'escape'.
Everyone was taking their own sweet time. Chatting, SMS-ing, tying their hair up, giggling, etc. "OMG so teruk, real fire how? Move those asses la." I said. "You lagi teruk la, can still take photos." Mimie bagi me balik.
Walked so long and still have 8 x 2 = 16 flights of staircases more to go
As we reached the concourse area, gosh there were sooooooo many people. There were signages to follow. "Eh eh, macam balik sekolah lah." "Yes lah, only thing missing is the school uniforms," Mimie laughed.
'Happening'
My department *hee hee*
Reporting our names to the fire marshalls
"Oi Mimie, let's go cuci mata." "You teruk la Angie, just becoz David is on leave, tsk tsk. Come we go to the 18 and 19 sides." (guys at 19th floor = sales ppl = better dressers)
Then, 10 min later, my boss, Eric walked leisurely towards us. He was on a telecon before the alarm went off. Will he still telecon if it was a real fire? Debatable, trust me. Eric = well known workaholic
I was getting restless with all the waiting. "Eh hungry ady." "Yea lah, how long more do we have to wait?" asked Joyce. Then I loudly exclaimed, "I feel like fainting." To which, my boss made a scan around the crowd and went...
"DAVID TAY! DAVID TAY! Where are you? You are wanted here!"
I really didn't know where to hide my face that time lah! "David Tay is on leave!" I squeeked. Which is true ok!
Then after all the drama, all the drama mamas and papas walked straight to One Utama for lunch
That's all for now while I go check to see whether my ass has gone tighter. 17 floors ok! 17 x 2 = 34 flights of staircases.
Lady Luthien: yay! Angie Low: luthien i very sleepy Angie Low: i dreamt mr tay won a car - mercedes Angie Low: then he drove off with another girl Angie Low: i walked back home myself in puchong! Lady Luthien: hahahaha Lady Luthien: so if he does win a car anytime soon, you just take the keys straightaway
I am feeling so BLAH right now, I have no freakin' idea why.
It could be because of a few of the following. I said, It could be.
The problem with my eyelids is still ongoing. Still hasn't blardy cleared off. But does anyone care eventhough I've mentioned it? No. I think I will go see Dr Ranjit is the other country, SS15 Subang later.
Freakin LotusNotes PMS-ing on me the whole of yesterday and today. Error here and there. Even HelpDesk was no Help at all. Asked me to bring my notebook over later to REINSTALL LotusNotes. Crap.
I am always feeing bored eventhough I have things to do.
My room looks dull.
Bills Bills Bills. And more bills.
Feel so unloved.
Feel so alone at facing all these by myself.
Perhaps I am asking alot out of myself and the people around me. Yes? I really don't know.
Today is Friday. But who cares? Every weekend is the same.
Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor - Elephant Love Song Moulin Rouge
Trying to count and spot the songs in this medley. See how they cleverly inserted Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' towards the end Gawd, I love medleys.
His highly popular song in the first album, The Blower's Daughter was one of the factors that brought Mr Tay and I closer Closer. Incidently, this song was the theme song for the movie, Closer featuring an amazing cast of Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen. Brilliant movie, if you have not watched it.
So, "9" is out. I'm doing some sampling first by doing the illegal downloads I must say he does have weird titles for his songs.
"9 Crimes"
"The Animals Were Gone"
"Elephant"
"Rootless Tree"
"Dogs"
"Coconut Skins"
"Me, My Yoke and I"
"Grey Room"
"Accidental Babies"
"Sleep Don't Weep"
Coconut Skins???? (I hate any food that has coconut in them by the way.) I love the album cover though Very artsy.
Interesting facts about the album 9 from Wikipedia:
There is a hidden track on this album. It is a rough demo of "9 Crimes" hidden in the Pregap.
Elephant was originally titled "The Blower's Daughter Part 2".
The album ends with 16 minutes of a Tibetan singing bowl being played; an instrument with alleged healing powers.
It takes a hell lot of Willpower to be working within walking distance to a shopping mall.
For a FEMALE la, that is.
And, a GREAT shopping mall too, if I may add.
Today I decided to skip lunch as I wasn't feeling hungry. Grabbed a junior cup of Baskin Robbins Rum & Raisin (my favorite flavor in any ice cream brands of all time!) Decided to do some window shopping and cuci mata a bit.
La la la, while happily licking my ice cream, I saw something. Literally stopped at my tracks and froze.
S A L E
DISCOUNTS UP TO 70%
How can like that. How cannnnnnnnn... I thought sales have just finished. "Christmas la," the Devil on my left shoulder said to me.
Eeeeeeee I so wanna enter lah. Took 3 steps, entered the shop a bit, then U-turned balik keluar. Hehehehhehe. Angel on my right shoulder said, "Why do you need so many clothes for? Remember your wardrobe couldn't fit all of them and you had to throw 4 bags full of clothes away?"
