hey !!
lookie !! my inner smurf is:
how geeky *blush*
however, taking the science quiz proved that my scientific knowledge is even worse than dee's, at 41.43% ..
hey hey !! congratulations (or rather, congratelutions) to nix on passing his driving test .. on the first go .. in singapore !! wheeee =) it took me 3 goes before i passed. and this is in australia.. where they allow indonesians to convert fake licences. silly aussies. roight.
and congrats to dee for getting into uq too =))
on a more sombre note though .. i stepped on my glasses this morning and broke them. so i have to get new ones. which means going back to myer 'coz insurance coverage allows me one free pair of speccies. unfortch, i've made 2 prior appointments and never kept them so i think they may have blacklisted me. which means i may get like .. cold treatment *rasher frasher*. altho it must be said that i was 3 mins late for the 2nd aforementioned appt 'coz i couldn't find parking.
that's my bit for the day. just so the people reading my blog (if any) don't get too bored. and lose faith. and not turn up ever again.
this whole firebird thing for my magical personality quiz reminded nix of the time that kevin (chu) called himself f|rebird on irc *lol* how embarrassing is that ?? to be known as f|rebird. of course, u all know the implications right ?? flame on !! *whoosh*
hahahahahahahaha
and i realize that the link in the previous entry didn't show up ..
so i'll just tell u what a satyr is:
satyrs were roman mythological creatures, half-man half-goat (i.e. goat men). many of them accompanied dionysus, pouring his wine and playing music on their flutes for him. silenus, who was the oldest of the Satyrs is said to have tutored dionysus.
(i wish i had people pouring wine and playing flutes for me .. o to be a roman goddess)
the most famous satyr is pan, the son of hermes and a nymph (whoa) and he was the god of green fields and guardian of the shepherds (being a goat and all). he also invented the shepherd's pipe, which he made from reeds apparently. so the guy invented the pan-pipe ?? or the pan flute, whatever.
ta daaa =) satyrs are quite cool what. don't know why they're weak "shadow creatures".
