Why Liverpool never walks alone
When you have their “star” players tackling themselves, you know they always need someone around to pick them up…
“Decorated” Fridge
L-A has taken to using the fridge door as her canvas where she puts up all sorts of stickers and magnets…
Funfair perverts
I was taking my shift at one of the games stalls set up by my JC class for the funfair when I overheard a comment shared between 2 guys who were patronising the stall: “Ay, let’s spend all our coupons at this stall and try to burst the water balloon. The girl is wearing a white T-shirt!”
I turned around and saw that the next classmate who was due for a turn under the water balloon was a female classmate who had unwisely chosen to wear a white T-shirt for our water-based game…
The one that didn’t get away
If there’s anything I dislike, it’s being wronged for something I didn’t do, or people trying to pull a fast one on me.
When I was a prefect in Secondary School, we were not allowed to bring food and drinks back to our classrooms. I spotted this guy trying to sneak a drink and I nicely told him to consume the drink in the canteen. He went back to the canteen and I later happened to spot him attempting to leave the canteen by a different route.
Being sufficiently annoyed, I tracked him to his classroom and promptly booked him for that “offence”. He was similarly annoyed that I actually bothered to track him down. Well, I was just doing my job that day…
The big green moth
L-A was fascinated by this green moth that flew in from the window and landed on the floor.
New football incident involving Ronaldinho also highlights office politics!
Ronaldinho gets some attention from a pitch invader but a red-shirted security guy has control of the situation and escorts the invader off the pitch using a bear-hug. Just as the both of them are about to step off the pitch, another red-shirted guy runs onto the pitch and uses unnecessary roughness to subdue the already subdued invader.
So there, you have it, an actual video of a person rushing in to claim some credit when someone else has already done all the hard work!
“Keep to the left!”
I had to utter that phrase countless times while I serving my duties as a prefect in Primary School. There was a system set up in the school staircases where a line was drawn down the center of each flight of steps and all students were supposed to keep to their left so they will not collide with students coming in the opposite direction.
Siesta Time
One of my fond memories as a child was siesta time in kindergarten!
There will come a time every afternoon when the teachers turned off all the lights and all of us little kids will help them to lay out some coloured straw mats (I distinctly remember some of the mats were red and blue) on the floor where we will all lie down and take our naps.
Too bad we all have to outgrow siestas (at least here in Singapore)…
Reverse Conditionals
I have made this mistake countless times in Java where I type “if (variable=1)” instead of “if (variable==1)”. The former will always return true since there is no error assigning the value “1” to the variable (assuming correct variable type), whereas the latter depends on whether the variable contains the value “1”.
To prevent such errors from cropping up in your code in your conditions, you can make use of the non-intuitive reverse conditionals. To modify my example above using reverse conditionals, I will type “if (1=variable)” and “if (1==variable)” instead. In this case, the former will immediately throw up an error upon compilation since it is not possible to assign a value to a literal in this case.
