Classic My Family quotes

I miss My Family. The whole series is over and there will be repeats from March onwards on BBC Entertainment. I'll be bloody working. Sighs..life IS unfair :|

Anyway, just like to share to you lot on some of my favourite quotes throughout the whole series.

Ben: [seeing Susan cooking] What's that?
Susan: It's my everything-in-the-fridge-stew. I'm using up all the food before it goes bad.
Ben: Smells like you're a little late.

Susan: I'd like to spend our anniversary on a romantic weekend trip to Dorset.
Ben: Well, I'd like a weekend as Michelle Pfeiffer's love toy, but we all have to live with our disappointments, don't we?

[Nick is trying to chat up the much-pierced hotel maid]
Nick: I'm here for the tattooist's convention, actually.
Rita: Then why haven't you got any tattoos?
Nick: I don't use ink. I'm in it for the pain.
Rita: Oh? You into S&M? B&D?
Nick: Sure, S&M, B&D, Q, LMNOP, all the letters.

Man at Bar: I'll have a lager.
Nick: Coming right up.
[gives the man a green cocktail] Man at Bar: That's not a lager.
Nick: It's better. I call it a Nick-tini.
Man at Bar: I'd rather have a lager.
Nick: OK.
[pulls out another cocktail, this time a white one]
Man at Bar: What's that?
Nick: A Nick-orita. Packed full of Tequila, you'll love it.
Pub Landlord: Just give the man a lager.
Nick: Look, I can't. I don't want to point fingers, but somebody forgot to order more barrels.
Pub Landlord: You were supposed to order more.
Nick: That's why I don't want to point fingers.
Pub Landlord: You're fired.
Nick: No, wait! You haven't seen my cocktail routine!
[tosses cocktail shaker between hands, throws it up in the air, it lands on the bar and smashes]
Pub Landlord: [pause] You're still fired.
Nick: Fine, but you haven't seen the last of Nick harper!
[walks out from behind the bar, and sits down next to the other man at the bar]
Nick: I'll have a pint, it's been a rough day

HAHAHAHAHA...classic slacker ;)

Ben: [Susan finds Ben on couch reading while supposed to be playing hide and seek] Oh, you found me. Okay, now it's your turn to hide.
Susan: I've got a better game, it's called hunt the testicles.
Ben: Well you know where you hid them

[about Nick]
Susan: I didn't give him cash.
Ben: Good!
Susan: I gave him your bank card

Michael: [Reads a text message from Nick to Ben] "Tesco's out of Brie, so gn to Paris."
Ben: "Gn?"
Michael: "Prices 2 high, so gn to Nice for chse."
Ben: Mm-hmm.
Michael: "Don't worry about money. I have Dad's bnk card." Any reply?
Ben: Yep, yep.
[Michael types in reply]
Ben: "Dr Nk, u r f'd."

Susan: Harper is my slave name. I wanted to keep my name at our wedding, but a male-dominated society insisted I change it to "Harper".
Ben: I thought you liked "Harper".
Susan: It's nothing personal. But I liked my name. It was like a comfortable and cosy home. And I feel when I got married I was evicted from it. An exile to live in a hovel in a swamp filled with surly lizards.

HAHAHAHAHA...poor Ben ;)

Ben: [to Janey] How dare you not be gay? Good God! You put us through anxiety, anger, confusion, doubt, anger...
Susan: You said anger.
Ben: I was angry twice!

[Michael breaks the living room window with a bazooka]
Susan: What the hell was that?
Michael: Um, if I said it was nothing, would you believe me?
Susan: Michael!
Michael: All right, it was for my science project... on organic foods.
Susan: [spacing each word] You fired a rocket through a window?
Michael: Come on, Mum. Do you think I'm so stupid I'd launch a rocket through our living room window? It was a sausage.
Susan: Michael, you could have killed someone!
Michael: It was an organic sausage.
Susan: That's it. You're grounded until further notice.
Michael: Grounded?
Susan: Michael, you could've taken someone's eye out.
Michael: Don't be silly, it exploded before it hit anything.
Susan: [Thinks] Did Nick put you up to this?
Michael: Actually, we had been planning to start up our own high-speed food delivery service.
[Abi runs into the house]
Abi: You're not gonna believe this! I was getting off the bus, when it started raining sausage! I have prayed for this day.
Michael: See? Our first satisfied customer

Susan: Give it up, Ben. I'm a chess player, and I'm thinking three moves ahead of you.
Ben Harper: I'm playing Scrabble.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abi: Did you know that the span of your hand added with the length of your middle finger is the same as your foot?
Ben: Did you know that the distance between my hands and your neck is closer than you think?

HAHAAH...thats about it for now, There are too many quotes that are pretty funny actually. But here's a sufficient gist :)

Hope...dangles on a string...

Familiar tune? I've been absolutely bored that I actually caught up with both Spiderman movies en route to the finale in May. Lame. Period.

Anyways...just a quick update..
Valentines day - ABSOLUTE RUBBISH! Firstly, my "bf" forgot to call me. I ended up calling him. Secondly, he was supposed to surprise me with something, apparently it's not here yet, and I sent my gift WAY after he did and he's received it. So what did I get in return? Zilch. AND NO DATES PER SAY! Gahhhh!!!

Chinese New Year - Absolute bore. Went on a "stuffing-myself" spree and got scraps of pennies from angpows. I'm not complaining though. I enjoyed some cultural performances (as though I've not seen them before) but hey, Chinese New Year falls only once a year.(NO offense, unlike Hari Raya Puasa which is just a crap holiday based on the appearance of the moon in the sky, which seems to me that it keeps creeping up with other holidays, spoiling the emphasis on the festivities of better-observed holidays)

After strings of boring celebrations, this was a twist to any conventional CNY celebrations. I gathered much initiative to stick the 1/4 of my obligation as family member to accompany the other 3 folks to the state celebration, which is in a highly publicized Buddhist temple 20 mins away from my home in Jenjarom. The rain poured but it did not wear away my spirits to see a different touch to the festival and my oh my oh my...the Buddhist temple was ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Such marvel. The biulding was actually covered with a bed of Chinese lanterns, accompanied by lush landscape garden, transcending various Buddhism practices (Shinto, etc). and CHINESE VEGETARIAN FOOD!! YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!! Shame, bloody shame Nick is not here. He'd love to see something like that. And to my biggest amazement I've never seen so many freely swimming Japanese carp in a single pond in my life. Can you iamgine just sitting by this tranquil pond and losing yourself into the otherworld, peace, and quiet..? Just what I dream of. I didn't even see as much when I was in Korea. Worse of it all, MY CAMERA DIED ON ME!! So there, couldnt take any photos. I will make a trip there on Sunday just to snap pictures of this wonderful religious shrine. Absolutely magnificent!



Some pics from CNY:-















I have tried to upload ALOT of pictures but it always fails I have no idea why. So when I REALLY have the chance I'll post some pics *double sighs*



On a brighter but not so bright note..


I won't be bored anymore cos I secured a contract placement for 6 months at a damn good company so I'll be starting in March. It's pretty daunting actually considering it's not PR at all LOL. I'm still amazed as how I got the job. But my CV will be of flourishing wonders with this experience from this company. Why not so bright note? Cos this will delay my trip to bloody England but you know what? When my bloody visa is done, serves them right cos they have to wait till my contract expires. So there you go. I told Nick to be here by this summer tillmy bloody contract expires. Blah. This is such a complicated mess. Sighs..why cant things just work out the way I want to?

More pics soon, I need to get back to this ancient book(remind me to get me blogging about this very iteresting artefact. And moi Francois. ;)

Night all! x

Dual Celebration

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

GONG XI FA CAI, HONG PAO NA LAI ;)

A dual celebration, joy and hapiness for everyone.
My Valentines day, for the second time around, I will be literally alone. Just sitting in front of the PC doing nothing. Waiting to go to my Nick-the-nutter. At least my sister has a date for Valentines, after a series of unfortunate events that took place in her life. I'd rather be alone on Valentines than having to go through what she's going through, and behaving like an attention-seeker.

I'm super pissed with Blogger. I was about to blog about my Carey Island and Bangkok trip, mana tau the pics refuse to load. so there you go....technology is shit!

Nothing much at all here.
Hope everyone is well.

Signing off.

I have a dream...

I had one of the most beautiful dreams 2 nights ago.
I dreamt I had a holiday in the North Pole
It was just out of this world. I wish this dream was real, so real it clouds away all my misery and sorrow right now..

Imagine........






Beautiful innit?
The gradients of nature, the smooth and soft feel of the beauty of our nature..intertwined with my soul, plus I have an interest (a lifelong thing) for astronomy.

There's one thing I'd like to do before I pass on.
To see the Northern Lights.
Anyone, buy me a ticket to Alaska?
