View of the World and the Laws within



create your own visited country map


This is entirely quite pathetic. I understand. Not been to North or South America. Ditto for Africa. I don't wish to include Antartica. I was telling V we should highlight the countries we wish to go instead!

Was sent this list today. Amazing....

Modern Laws


1) LORENZ'S LAW OF MECHANICAL REPAIR: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch. This is true. And to add to this, scalp will itch when you are wearing greasey gloves, your soles will itch the most when you are wearing socks.

2) ANTHONY'S LAW OF THE WORKSHOP: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner. When bread falls off the table or your hand, it will land with the buttered side facing downwards.

3) KOVAC'S CONUNDRUM: When you dial a wrong number, you never get an engaged tone. (This is the typical truth. It is unlikely for you to know if you have dialled the wrong number if the phone rings but no one picks it up.

4) CANNON'S KARMIC LAW: If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire. Not true. Otherwise, I would have witnessed several accidents along the Tanah Merah Coast Road and Changi Coast Road. But, actually, I did.

5) O'BRIEN'S VARIATION LAW: If you change queues, the one you have left will start to move faster than the one you are in now.This really depends on the type of queue system employed. Certain places have a single queue leading up to the counters. Others have multiple queues leading up to just as many counters. Absolutely think this is ridiculous. It's like a Lucky Draw when facing the latter system. Hate the smug look of those who came later but got to the head of their queue faster because the fucker in my queue choose to dilly dally.

6) BELL'S THEOREM: When the body is immersed in water, the telephone rings.Not gonna happen to me. No bath tubs. But this works the same for anything to do with being away from the phone and in an inconvenient state ie. pangsai-ing (shitting), pangjio-iing (peeing), etc.

7) RUBY'S PRINCIPLE OF CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: The probability of meeting someone you know increases when you are with someone you don't want to be
seen with.
This happened to Mong before. Haha...must be true.

8) WILLOUGHBY'S LAW: When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will. You will always look silly when this happends happens (I have been spelling happen as happend throughout this entry.)

9) ZADRA'S LAW OF BIOMECHANICS: The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.Refer to LORENZ'S LAW OF MECHANICAL REPAIR: It's quite funny to watch though.

10) BREDA'S RULE: At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrives last. This is a great cinematic moment. It's not hollywood worthy, just that it's has happened to many of us in the cinema.

11) OWEN'S LAW: As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.Fuck right?

I really do not know why Ruby. Neither do I know why it's the other names that are used. Like "Owen" and "Breda". Maybe for special situations like Ruby's Principle of Close Encounters with Princess Poofie's Bad Hair Day - you can name it Mong's something something. =)
