Yesterday was just another day indeed

The ones who really mattered were either already gone or completely forgot.
I have to remind myself to make my day feel as special as I could.

Hu hu hu....

I found this on the net at 40ana.blogspot.com :) So this is actually a reproduction from that site. Credits where due, ok !

The History of the Middle Finger

Here's something that you might not have known before.....

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."

IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!

And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

Sleep... Sleeeeeepy !

Just so terribly am not-here ! Am sleepy cos having a headache cos of eye-strain cos of weather too hot cos it hasn't rained... Adoi... Rasa nak duduk tidor on the cabinet bawah air-con tu je.. it's sooo tempting !

Anyway.. this is my ubat mengantuk (though not necessarily good for my headache lah). Took a pic with the SE phone, pic's clear and good.

After this post, it's au revoir, I'm going home to nap. after I cook dinner that is..

My new stuff

Since my new-found craze of including photos, well here is picture proof of my new books. Soda decided he wanted to be in the picture as well, so he posed himself alongside without much persuasion... Sebok je, kan ? But nice contrast to the books :)

I'd actually gone through about a third of the Level 1 puzzles. I unwind before sleeping at night by doing 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5...hee hee). That's why the Sudoku book is always on my bed. I haven't yet started on my Bourne book. Wonder if it will be as much fun as the ones written before by Robert Ludlum himself.. I do have anther book which I am yet to finish, maybe I'll struggle through that one first before I start on this one.
