what it all means is:

• most of the words on this blog have only 1 syllable, and the average number of syllables on this entire page doesn't even hit the 1.5 mark. possibly not a good start, because that on its own puts me on the same level as a semi-literate turd-scraping from a bat's old shoe.

• that my flesch reading ease is 77.5%. this is some sort of algorithm that determines how easy it is to read my blog. this is not bad at all! well i think it's fantastic anyway. mean that um .. my blog makes for very egalitarian and equal opportunity reading &c &c.

• that because my gunning fog and flesch kincaid grade are 7.25 and 4.58 respectively, it would take roughly that many years of schooling to understand my blog. i dont know why there's a difference, but i'm also taking this as a good sign, because it means we at samuraibunny (theoretically) have the ability fuck children up from a fairly young age and ohhhh boy does it feel good to have that kind of power.

in fact, let me go revel in it for awhile...

right. now that's done, some smartarse out there is probably thinking at this very moment "bullshit lah, that just means your blog is extremely low-brow". but if you'll notice, 7.25 is a higher difficulty level than the bible (and also the tv guide, and mark twain, but let's discount that trifling detail, shall we?)*���. such publications are reaching-out-to-the-masses type things, so let's just all be positive and say "wow lynette, you really are a fantastic blogger", to which i will modestly take a bow and say "aww shucks, t'were nothin'".

so anyway, if you want to put your blog to this nifty non-quizzila test, follow the pretty linky !!

also, do bear in mind that there's a lot of things that this test doesn't take into account such as the way in which words are used. i.e. many monosyllabic words put together in an intelligent way are easier to read than multi/polysyllabic words strung together in a ridiculous and arbitrary fashion.

*i never knew mark twain was literature-lite. then again, i always saw mark twain books as being kinda on the snoring side of things.

��� asterisks...the blogger's footnote. one day soon, i shall have a nonsensical post about the evolution of the asterisk..just you wait and see.

*long and mean-spirited post up ahead. if th'art easily offended, turn back...TURN BAAAACK !! before it's too late.

was waiting for my hair to dry and surfing through some blogs, when i realized that some people can be really really stupid. and i'm not talkin' ordinary stupid here, folks. i'm talking jump-off-a-cliff-together-with-boy/girlfriend-if-they-promosed-to-love-you-forever kind of stupid. ya. like dumber than rocks. anyhoo, this made me recall a conversation i had with my cousin stoo in a bus a couple of years ago. the gist of it was something like this (with my own modifications here and there):

that everybody, when they reach the age of 16 should take a test of stupidity (or lack thereof). the scope of the test should be wide-ranging, from etiquette, to general iq, to e.q. to all sorts of things. kindof like an emode personality test, but more legit. and then from there, a panel of judges made up of people from all different parts of society sit down and judge whether or not the candidate is suitable for life in everyday society.

those who are too stupid, or immature, or generally unsuitable to be seen by the general public, will then be put in a zoo where they will be "rehabilitated", and then maybe let free after taking the test again. if they fail repeatedly, then they shall be like the village idiots. sometimes useful, but usually just there so that other people can throw things at them. included in this losers-of-society category shall be able-bodied dole-bludgers, big brother housemates, cApZtArDzZz, rednecks, people who refuse to use deodorant after several warnings to do so...in other words, people who are blatantly annoying even though they know better.

of course, it's not going to be completely cruel. people with disabilities, or mental retardation, or broken arms, or gimp-legs aren't going to be put in zoos. all the more reason they should be in loving company. hippies are currently a borderline case. if they do nothing but toke up all day and smell of cheap incense without doing anything useful, then they can be put in the zoo i guess. but if they are useful and actively try to save whales, or grow weed, then they can live next door to my place. or maybe not too near but near enough, because they might still be less-inclined to wash. and also sometimes, i'm not very environmentally-friendly.

so have a think and see if there's anybody you reckon should be in this zoo. three solid referals plus a thorough background check can see that special somebody fast-tracked on their journey to the zoo of shame!

i just thought of this during mass just now, so here it is .. *drum roll please* ..........



mm. i really should work on the formatting of my images, but no time to do that now, i have to head off to work. soooooooo shinobi AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!

*schwing*

happy easter kith and kin!

may you all not pass out from eating too much chocolate, or suffer the sugar crash so huge
that you are incapacitated for days. however, if any of you wish to go on a sugar-induced
rampage and paint the town in many vibrant colours with pants on your head, do send me the
photos !! unless i manage to clip them out of the newspapers and scan them in myself.

mm took a quizilla quiz. in keeping with my inherent geekiness and also my anime insanity (though not yet descending to cosplay) ..


Ur Ichigo


Witch Bleach character r u?!
brought to you by Quizilla

so there ya go. i'm ichigo. hehe.

before i begin, i would like to tell you all that i'm going to stop abbreviating and using single letters for proper words such as "n" for and and "u" for you. one day i shall actually use capital letters at the start of my sentences, but one must learn to walk before learning to fly yes no?

i was reading a singaporean blogger's blog which linked up to another singaporean blogger's blog and i was wondering, how the hell do people amass such huge followings on their blogs? granted they do write about a lot of issues pertaining to singaporeans' everyday lives (i'm not sure, but the word vernacular could even fit in there somewhere, but geez louise, best asian blog of the year award? how's that happen?! i've been blogging for freakin' ages and yet nobody knows of the stupid loser friends漏 except the people in our own backyard, and maybe even some people not from our backyard but somehow affiliated. but nobody accosts us on the streets and goes "OH MY GAWD!! stupid loser friends漏?! here ?! on the very street i am walking upon??!! i so want to be you? how can i join?" and then we turn them away with a hair-flick and say sorry dude, exclusive club. two members only." knn* ..

oh wait wait i lie. that has happened once, during the crazy lillian incident, and it went something like this..

CL: stupid loser friends? what's that?
Noelle: er. it's a club we have.
CL: oh...can i join?
Me: er...
Noelle: no. sorry...it's a rule. 2 members only. hehe. sorry.

after this, CL spends the remainder of the night doing some sort of strange hair-flipping-esque action by swinging her entire head of 37-year-old hair and giggling like a lunatic. also, she asked noelle to call her if she wanted to head down to orchard to bop to some chinese tunes.

dude, ... no. just ..... no.

godammit i wanna be famous right down to my last bit of belly-button fluff. oh yes. and before i forget, here's what linda sent to me today:" From: Kevin Tiong

Dear Linda

I hope I have the right person. You are a student studying
architecture at UWA and you are from Malaysia. Lily is your aunty and
you are Brennan, Kevin and Melvin's cousin. I found your email address
at the UWA website.

We have seen each other 3 times. The first time was at my house in
Murdoch. The second time was at the Northbridge Chinese restaurant.
The third time was in South Ocean Chinese restaurant. You were very
pretty that night when I saw you at South Ocean Chinese restaurant.

I am interested in getting to know you better. My mobile number is
**********. Send me an SMS if I have switched off my mobile. If you
are interested in getting to know me better you can give me your
mobile phone number and I will contact you.I will be away from 28/3 to 15/4. I will be in Malaysia

Best Regards

Kevin Tiong "

oh linda gurl...you attract the biggest weirdos you really do.

*for you non-hokkien ah bengs, knn = ka ni na, a shortening of the hokkien cuss kan nin na bei chao chee bye .. which very roughly translates to "may you have carnal of your old father's smelly female genitalia". so it doesn't make much sense. but it's like the singaporean ah beng's equivalent of "gosh durnit" i suppose..so anyway now you all know. thanks to bboj for his enlightening instruction on the phonetics of this phrase.

it's taken a grand total of almost an hour for me to get past the first page of "figures, doors and passages" .. the first of my prescribed readings for tomorrow's tute. but really doesn't look exciting. and really...

"the most familiar things are often shrouded in the deepest mystery"

ok well maybe. but a door? *koff* can't wait to hear what the andy-nator rants about tomorrow. seriously though...even bill taylor admitted that there's a surge in publication of architecture books when there's no buildings to be built. i.e. all the writing is a way of whiling away the hours and expulsing bullshit.

is expulsing a word?? doens't sound like one. but as of now it is.

and also, why do people put such private things on their blog, because blogs are anything but private. especially if your bf/gf/partner is going to read it? and you know they read it. unless you want them to read the horrid things you write about them. in which case what kind of sadistic person are you? ... that's why this blog is so silly !! nothing too personal. unless it's very general. problems should be solved at the source ya? and dirty linen not be aired in public .. that kinda thing.

although you may argue that your blog is your own personal domain so you can do whatever the fuck you want. but then .. after all's said and done, is it really worth it - letting the world see your bleeding heart in a messy little puddle, or slagging someone off a most unglamorous way, or putting yourself out there with potentially inflammatory remarks when you know you're going to get criticised - and then get upset or angry about it?

mm .. methinks i've gone a little off-tangent there. figures, doors and passages'll do that to ya. but let me end by saying that people with opinions should have the good sense to know that they aren't the only ones with opinions, nor are they the only ones who are entitled to them. so if something's going to be posted, then there will inevitably be responses, favourable or otherwise.

anyhoo this post is a little too serious for my liking. and i don't think i'd like it to end on a pensive note. so um ..

thanks bboj for the anime, the letter and the foundation !! for the record, on 22 march '05, i, lynnie loo @ dingo girliatrix, co-president of stupid loser friends, received a package in the mail containing amost other things, two tubes of foundation purchased by the beloved benjamin of jesus @ patsy. and that not only were these items the correct brand and range of costmetics, the shade was also accurate.

am chuffed. truly am *beams*

so i rocked up for work 4 hours late. that's why i'm home now, blogging. beh. i bought easter eggs though =) for you, and you, and maybe you, but not you.

*sings* andy you're a staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar...in nobody's eyes but mine...andy you're a staaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr -repeat ad nauseum- for this is andy's new anthem. if u see him, SING !! SING FOR ALL YOU'RE WORTH !!

oh. and excerpt from Cathay and the Way Thither.

"And it (the desert) shifteth as the sea doth when in storm, now hither, now thither, and as it shifteth it maketh waves in like manner as the sea doth"

ok so that's a lot of thither-ing. but hey, it's a funny word.

new addition to the tragicomedic deaths of famous architects (friends and relations also included in this list). this time, thanks to linda for her contribution on the untimely demise of frank lloyd wright's mistress.

the readings for my essay abstract have commenced, two days late. but still, they've commenced. i started easy, with some modern books (by modern i mean post 1960). But now, i'm onto the travel journals, beginning with Cathay and the Way Thither, which chart the travels of Friar Odoric the Bohemian, of Friuli, in the province of Saint Anthony. what a mouthful. It's been edited by Sir Henry Yule, and in the introduction is a letter to his friend, Roderick.

let us all pause and giggle and then...

WEWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE WODEWICK !!

scene outside the co-op:

three singaporean guys walking together, all wearing boardies and singlets. then one reaches into his shirt with slight difficulty and makes a face then says:

"shit lah. need to scratch my neneh".

*sigh* you can take the boy out of singapore...

oh and here's a conceptual colour thingamy for rupert and rosalind. it's like..really lacking in detail i know. but meh..what you gonna do huh? this is the first pic of them that's not on lined paper. hip hip hoo !!

i call it, "meat being eaten in a public place "

everybody meet rupert and rosalind !!

3 posts in a day is heaps i know, and really really unlike me. but noelle got back to me really quickly and performed her duties with much haste.

so rupert is the CADfairy. she is obviously a girl, while rosalind is the carnivorous heart. he is a boy. that is all now, goodnight.

oh. and i meant to upload this image sooner, but i clean forgot. as u can tell, it's a couple of days late 'coz it was conceived on tuesday during computing lecture. the man in the sexy swimsuit with skirt attached is justin (of course). sexy justin (added by hafiz). and the sexy-man-eater pun is linda's doing.



and then....introducing the still-unnamed CADfairy !! here she makes her debut taking her pet carnivorous heart for a walk. he/she is also unnamed. noelle le zoot-girlitron !!! please christen them both.

right so i noticed that the linky in the previous post is a little broken. so what you do is, google that url then translate it so it becomes googlish. then it will all make sense. scroll down a bit, to around the "salad of crabs" area and it gets good. i swear, a fervour will occur you.

hey let's laugh at spanish people !!

O pity the Customs Officer (scroll down to Salad of Crabs)

so my evil sisters (es) are here traumatizing some poor defenseless boy (pdb) on msn.

pdb: probbably like you said shes was at chinese school.
es: you english gramma good. totally i understand you.
pdb: what you saying about my english?
me (typing on behalf of es): nothing. sorry i have tourette's.
pdb: meaning what?
es: it's AAH!! when one EEK!! has uncontrollable OOH!! exclamati-AAAGH!!-ons.

i think he kinda inched slowly away after that.

i'm so proud of my sisters *sheds a tear*

hey hey hey !! it's my girlie's twenty-first (21st) birthday !! and in honour of this specialest of days .... *drum roll please*

hey hey !! you're reading the blog of gelare's newest waffle monkey !! man. i hope i'm good at this job. the pressure's kindof on hey. boss says "um. you're kinda old. so expectations are higher". i feel old *mopes* but anyway i'll do my best.

and i'm sleepy.
sooooo ja mata ne !

so thanks to stuie, i have an interview at gelare tomorrow =) i don't know what i'd do without that cousin o' mine. probably have no friends, i suppose. it's true !! i was such an anti-social child, if he hadn't been in the same kindergarten as me i would have been such a loner. and he's recommended me to work at gelare so there's the old nepotism at work again. yes yes, i can hear you all thinking "oh gawwwd but she's so bad at customer service" .. but since i have been recommended and all, i shall not fail my cousin and sully his good name. i shall be the bestest gelare chick ever =P if i get the job. which i will ...

maybe.

so anyhoo, wish me luck. goodnight all of you !!

you know you're in perth when....

peak hour traffic + bloody road works = traffic moving slower than snails and a big sign is flashing : REDUCE SPEED NOW.

gee maw. if ah were a-goin' any slower, ah'd b day-yuhd as a stuhffed turkeh.

this truly is the city from the dark ages. -moment of silence while we all bemoan the lack of extended trading hours and daylight savings-

ok so anyhoo. on a lighter note, noelle and i were discussing my blog relocation and why the hell some uni servers don't allow access to sites with underscores. the conclusion was that underscores imply something vaguely pornographic about the site, and while we were sleeping, somebody decided that it alluded to balls. so anyhoo...the product of that conclusion was thus:

"she's such a _busting bitch"
"gee girlie, we sure are _sy aren't we?"
"i seem to have misplaced my basket_"

good thing we aren't _erinas.

ok 'nuff. dead parrots beckon and the wind is saying "feed your car .. she is hunnnng-e-ryyyyyyyy".

please also note

that i now have a flooble chatterbox, and not a tag-board as i did in the previous blog. to get things rolling, please add to the list of similes.

so far we have:

i love -something- as much as ...

1. indians love cows
2. chinese people love yellow gold and jade.

right now i really must go. drawing calls me.

the post that is the number one for this place

hey !! lookitme lookitme !! i have a new blog !!

yeah so it's like exactly the same as the old one. doesn't matter. the whole point of relocation was not for new beginnings and starting new chapters or anything. it was just so this place would be more accessible to the common man/woman/child/other.

so anyhoo, update your links. update your bookmarks. tell all your friends. have a party !! hug a bunny. let there be much merry-making. and don't forget to bring that large wooden badger !!

oh, and may your flamingos always be part of the clan of fairies that live under the toadstool growing out of your bathroom floor.
