langkawi: funny restaurant

Posted by Sharon Pakir on Nov 30, 2011 in Funny | 0 comments

Traveling in Asia is always fun for the many Engrish moments it can provide. We saw some pretty funny signs on this trip but none quite as perplexing as this, in the main street of Langkawi:

one hand WHAT?!

Each day as we passed this sign, we stopped to ponder. Who was Debbie? Who would open an Irish pub and restaurant in Langkawi, Malaysia? And wait, WHO would GO there? And lastly, WHAT THE HELL IS A ONE HAND WONDER?!

So many questions. Any potential answers?

now that’s a real FAN

In the middle of Grand Final fever last week, I took this picture for S as I was driving through Glen Iris. I knew he would approve.

Geelong Cats fans, you can’t call yourself one until you go to start to clean you truck (see the frantic wipe marks?), and INSTEAD, write GO CATS in the dirt. Oh yeah.

actually, it’s not me, it’s you

Today was a bad pain day, with crawling out of bed at 11am, spending much of the afternoon with layers of hot water bottle and pain killers, and lots of general misery. When I saw this below picture, I heaved a sigh of relief out loud, that someone out there understands.

Goodbye Monday, don’t wait for my call, don’t come crawling back, don’t think this is just a break. I’m over you.

gentleman’s code for real??

I am obsessed with How I Met Your Mother, and in particular, since I am predisposed towards those of the cheeky personalities, my obsession is with Barney and his Bro Code. As soon as I found out there was an iPhone Bro Code app (people, are you listening? An iPhone App for the BRO CODE!), I gleefully downloaded it.

On our little roadtrip to Torquay, I regaled S with snippets from the Bro Code app, and we giggled merrily all the way until I hit this one, Article 38, gasped, read it out, and stared at S in wide-eyed shock. “IS THIS TRUE?!” I asked in disbelief.

S assured me that yes, indeed, there was a known code and no man breached it.

“Even when in a rugby match??”

“Even in water polo??”

“Even in that stupid no-rules wrestling on TV??”

“Even in a pub brawl??”

“Even in WAR??”

All his answers were, AFFIRMATIVE. At no time shall a man punch another man in the wazoo area.

I’m speechless with flabbergastment written all over my face (and yes, I’m aware flabbergastment is not a word but poetic license and all that jazz so HA to you), and so I had to put it out in a public forum (and now imagine if I’d said a “pubic forum”. Oh my, the punnage possibilities.)

Is this true? Is there a code? Is it only dastardly females that inflict this vicious (but sometimes well deserved) injury onto the male species? Can you all comment on this, especially my male friends?

I refuse to believe it until I have more data.

We are in the 3rd week of Backyard Blitz, and we’ve just about finished the deck, the outdoor setting, and mostly done with painting the backyard walls. We’ve still got the pergola, the outdoor roofing, and the plant blitzing/planting. It’s been pretty gruelling, and it just feels like it’s never ending, especially when there’s just incredible amounts of messy, laborious work to do.

Some of our human resources seem a little tired after seemingly endless amounts of time spending every spare moment we have trying to work on it all. Things have suddenly come to a bit of a standstill around here, and no amount of whip cracking seems to be helping.

uh oh. my gentle giant has been felled!

Yes, you. All of you friends and family that play Words with Friends with me! I was going through my phone’s photos and chuckled when I saw this. Check the dates. At a time when I was superbly drugged up on painkillers, getting whupped by life and pain, and altogether feeling prettttty pathetic on my loungeroom floor, I was also being consistently beat by ALL OF YOU! *shakes fist*
