Joke of the Day

Thanks to Nai's invite to attendthe Cold WAr seminar held by History Channel, I got the impetus to read through some of the emails I saved from university. It's barely five months since I've graduated and they're already coming in handy. Nostalgia can be therapeutic at times. Here's an excerpt from a BPF email:

"You are not asking about argumentative methods, you are asking about analytical methods. If you want to practice argumentative methods, there are two ways:

"Get married;

"Choose a career your parents disapprove of."

Gosh, I miss school.

Oops, thanks to SN for advice on the correct use of inverted commas.

海阔天空

I was disappointed the Beyond concert wasn't what I expected. It felt more like a commercial ripoff than a commitment to their music. It was painfully sad. But even aging rock stars need to move on.

An Orgy of Paper Planes

I love this picture I took on the job. A paper plane expert was giving a workshop on paper plane making and at the end of it he got everyone to throw their planes together, letting loose a paper blitzkrieg and, unsurprisingly, a hall of screaming, running and frightening-hyper kids. That anarchy was a picture-perfect opportunity but I wasn't prepared for it at all. The batteries in the flash were almost flat, my focus failed to keep up with the supersonic kids, launching their imaginary B-52s and F-15s before darting off to pick up another that crashed nearby. Camera at waist-level to avoid shy faces taking flight, I fired away, anxious I might not get any good shots. That will inevitably lead to me getting a good ear lashing from the Boss. No, I'm kidding. But I'm happy with this one. I can explain away, i mean, photoshop away the blur.
