the case of the missing socks...

this is another senseless post, so if you were expecting more you'd be disappointed. so look away now! before i explain what my title for my post is about, i'll tell you what i've been up to.

like my last random ramblings, i didn't do much today either. class were boring as usual except for my emergency response lecture. on most days, it was my routine challange to stay awake in it but today we watched a documentary on freak waves or rogue waves. after just watching poseiden a week before, the video captured my full attention. it explained how these very rare occurances were formed and how it could happen anywhere in the world... being hit by one is still a small probability but to tell you the truth, i'm a bit freaked out. so, keep your fingers crossed for me. i know i'm definitely keeping mine crossed...

i just came back from watching the japan vs brazil match. as an asian, you all know who i was rooting for. i think i was over enthusiastic when japan scored a goal. in an almost empty pub, my celebration scream and claps had everyone's attention. i composed myself and slumped down in my seat, embarrased. my happy grin was quickly wiped off when the slowest brazilian of the bunch, ronaldo, scored the equaliser just before half time. and we all know what happened in the second half, so no need for me to revisit the painful memory.

oh, i've been asked a lot of times what my msn nick quote means.

"ani mana parternya?"

sigh.. i shall explain. when i was out watching a movie with the 3 couples, we met a bruneian family that they knew on the way to the cinema. the mom noticed that the couples were holding hands.. sigh.. and then she noticed me..

"ani mana partnernya?" she asked bluntly... yes.. ouch..

which made me realise how sad my life is. i was out with people who actually could be called were having a triple date! i'm gonna die alone aren't i? if i weren't living on the ground floor, i'd jump out the window right now.

anyway, on to the main topic of the post!

i was doing my laundry (of a month's worth) this afternoon and guess what. i put in a 6 pairs of socks in with the rest of my stuff and when i went to get them back out, 2 halves were missing! i heard stories of this strange phenomenon but i've never believed it to be true until today... strange... very strange...

i told you, you'd be disappointed.
