No time to blog lately. But I'm still expected to entertain somehow by many people. So here goes:

Yo mama's so fat, her waist is equator.

Yo mama's so fat, she's on both sides of the family.

Yo mama's so fat, it takes a train to get to the other side.

Yo mama's so fat, she strikes oil when on heels.

Yo mama's so fat, she needs shock absorbers on toilet seat.

Yo mama's so fat, she kills mosquitoes with fat folds.

Yo mama's so fat, she needs to screw her panties onto her fat folds.

Yo mama's so fat, even her clothes have stretch marks.

Yo mama's so fat, she step on a dollar, she gets change.

Yo mama's so fat, she makes solar eclipses.

Yo mama's so fat, she walks in front of TV and you miss the whole series.

University lecturers who upload class notes at 11th hour inconvenience students

I WOULD like to share my experience of the use of e-mail to relay important information. What I encountered is not widespread but it is not an isolated case.

I have a friend who studies in a local university that requires the lecturer to upload class notes and assignments for students. This is a good idea as it reduces not only time but also paper the lecturer would need to photocopy. And most times, there would be extra copies that might go to waste.

However, of late, I have learnt that certain lecturers upload their notes at the 11th hour, that is, at night when the class is first thing the next morning. Although most students have computers at home, some do not have printers. They therefore have to race to school to print their notes before class.

On another occasion, the lecturer sent an e-mail message to my friend that a lesson was scheduled the next day (a last-minute addition to the fixed timetable). The message also asked my friend to tell the other students. Fortunately, my friend knew some of the students and managed to tell them. I am interested to know what would have happened if my friend did not check his e-mail that day. Would the lecturer have marked them all absent?

Although I am not a student in this university, I felt the frustration as if I were in my friend's shoes. I am disappointed we are paying for people who are so unprofessional.

The national paper's Forums is getting from bad to worse. It used to be funny. Now it'd become hilarious! In addition, they had allowed people to post comments when incomplete articles are provided for non-subscribers. Of course I'm assuming there will be no one subscribing to this interesting paper. How can they allow people who do not have a complete picture make skewed comments? I really think they haven't thought through the whole concept when revamping their website. Monkey (ST) see (BBC), Monkey do.

Anyways, back to the ridiculously funny letter that the competent editor of my favourite paper had decided to print. Here goes.

First week at work, yet I'm already tired.

Not from work itself, but from the dreaded early mornings.

I'm just not a morning person.

But alas, I have no longer the luxury to ignore Mornings.
