jon's blog

i could go on for 40 days and 40 nights about my blog title and bore you to bits and pieces with 10,000 different ideas i actually had for the name of this blog but because of the 500 characters limit that is imposed upon this mechanism which, by the way, is supposed to promote free speech, i shall shorten it to just two words basically describing what the hell this is all about and who this hell belongs to.

it's the phrasing lah!

it seems that my mind is always on the prowl for bad grammer.
it could be the arrangement, it could be the incorrect usage of the word. sometimes it's the spelling. or worse still, the wrong word at the wrong place at the wrong time plus wrong spelling some more!

and throw in an early morning fag to wake the brain and my extra keen grammer-analysis senses, and you have the perfect incident of grammer misuse:

whenever i'm on the morning shift (7-3pm), i always start my day with an early morning fag. my cigarette will somehow last through the entire 13 minute walk from home to the train station. an average cigarette for me lasts only 6.53 minutes (not including the time taken to light up the cig; i'm terrible with lighters). but given the really temperemental weather for the past few days, i've decided to only smoke in sheltered areas. and this morning was no exception.

this was found outside Lot One, the local shopping centre stuck in the middle of the heartlands. there was a giant advertisement for a local watch retailer. this watch retailer catered specially to the heartland population of Singapore. andy lau was the main man in all the pictures. it's actually a series of advertisements lah, of him in gentlemanly poses with a so-called intelligent quote at the side.

fuck the chinese characters because they make more sense than the english translation. apparently, this one is pretty suggestive:

i'm more of a 'coming from the front' kinda person, by the way.

well skye, the good thing is if we smoke an average of 7 sticks a day, that's 49 minutes of relaxation/24 hrs. and that's good for the soul. not good for health though.

But let's face the truth - Andy Lau advertises for Bossini - Sorry but no class, no style.
