The Samba Song

Something has screwed with my tagboard. And i don't like it. Anw, to enhance loading of this page, i shall remove the tagboard temporarily. Till i decide i need to refurbish this page. Which is not today. Got more interesting things to do.

Fine, i'm lying.

I AM trying to learn some useless redundant skills. (note the intentional redundancy of "redundant".. cliche. i know.)

SUCH as..

Learning to write with my Left Hand.
Learning to become Left-footed.
Learning to be Brazillian
Learning to Samba.




ONE thing..

I've learnt that the easiest excuse for my cultural interblend (rojak, as my ex-coach once put it) is to disclaim all four races within this one simple statement explaining the inconsistencies between name, colour, language and perhaps culture.

I'm Brazillian. The Samba sort.

Until they get used to my cultural interblending that probably compares to our "multicultural" Singapore.

Learning the Samba. And for those who don't know me well enough, I'm talking about soccer.




Was having this discussion and i shall decide to bore the web denizens unlucky enough to type in "ultravioletlight.blogspot.com" [On a side note there's about 8 x 10^30 different possible combinations of 16-letter blog names in blogspot. Approx.]

Global Warming.

1. Get a glass.
2. Put a block of ice in it.
3. Fill to the brim with water (with the ice bobbing about)
4. Wait for the ice to melt.
5. Tell me if the water in the glass overflows (there's the comments function here...)
6. The water is not supposed to overflow anw. mathematically.
7. Which means melting ice-bergs don't change the water level.

Unless...

WE're talking about the ice chunks that are NOT floating, but resting on land. i.e. mainly in Antarctica.

THERE's a difference between fresh water and sea water when considering melting ice-bergs.

I intend to try out the salt water version. curious. very curious.




Going for a last minute shift. Its not as though i have a social life that'll be thoroughly affected by a last minute pawai shift.

Anw, its okay if you get off in lieu.

And i realise that i'm greedy. I like off in lieu. lots of off in lieu.




Went for mass yesterday at Bt Batok's St Mary of the Angels. Which is in the same vicinity as the Franciscan Friary. And the place is beautiful.

And the service sermon was quite unlike the usual weekday mass sermon. it was relatively long and insightful. maybe because i paid attention. hmmmm..

Anw, i'll be off to bed now. Lots of sleep to catch up on..

Out.

Very talkative... After being quiet for so long.

Anyway. Want to learn how to samba for real?
