OMG!!! I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING!!!!!1
Damn, this is good. I have hated Barney the Purple Dinosaur (although he is purple) eversince Ice Age. No kids of mine will ever EVER have possession of that evil dinosaur. Muahahaha ha.
Updated 10 min later: Ok I figure that not many people out there are as 'educated' as I am when it comes to kids songs, so ok here are the lyrics to This Old Man. Hope it rings a bell! Then sing it to Barney's Dead. Damn funny. To me lah
This old man, he played one He played knick-knack on my thumb With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone This old man came rolling home
Got it? Heh. Anyways I was at my cousin's house yesterday after work. Went there for dinner with my parents. And gosh, guess what was in little YanYan's cot??????!
*gasp*
BARNEY!
I wanted to tell my cousin to take awaythrow burn it. But my mom told me Yan Yan has grown quite attached to it, so asked me to better shut up. I cannot! I must not allow that ewww dinosaur influence Yan Yan. She's 10 mths old now. Let her play for 2 more months till she's 1 lah. Then, only then, will I find a way to sneak behind her and snatch away that purple fugly dinosaur.
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!
