Nothing lasts forever

A few hours later...*sniff* My rabbit's dead! :'(

Okay, so I'm exaggerating. But let's admit that it's a sad sight. First an ear deflated (and later on I found that a tiny hole in the ear part was the culprit), then the twisted part at the base of the ears turned loose, so the air from the other ear and the head could escape through the hole. I thought it had stopped there, but no, suddenly I heard a plastic-rubbing-plastic sound, and turning around, I saw that the body had twisted loose as well. I grabbed a roll of cellophane tape to patch it together before the air escaped, but by the time I turned back around to "heal" it, the air had all escaped, and all I had left was...well, what you see in the picture. So I did a few turns around the tail (haha, I bet you forgot that that was the tail!) and sellotaped it in place. Now let's see how long it lasts.

I know it's crazy to analyse a rabbit's death this way, but let's just say that I'm trying to come to terms with my loss.
lol!

A dream come true! lol

Guess what this is!
Well, it's a rabbit. A balloon-rabbit. You know when you see magic shows and they ask a kid to go up to the stage, and the magician does a whole lot of tricks with those long balloons, "transforming" them into real animals and all? Well, I've always wanted one of those balloon-animals that they got in the end. And now I've got one! :-D

You see, the problem is that only little kids get balloons, and when we were small we only had those round balloons, not these, um...artistic ones. So I never had the chance to have one. But this weekend it happens to be the "24-hour" weekend in INSA, and there are many activities(including sumo-wrestling, which I actually did; I'll post some photos when I have them), and it's open to outsiders as well. That means that there were a lot of little kids on the campus, and there were 2 "clowns" (well, half-clowns, only their faces were painted) going around handing out balloons. Two of my friends asked for hats, but I wasn't going to waste my balloon on a hat! :-P So I got myself a rabbit :-D


Well, these two photos are just to show you the rabbit from other angles. ;-)

Pika pika!

Ever wondered how Pikachu got his name? Well, I got the answer yesterday, during a presentation in my French class. It was a presentation on mangas, and it seems that when they draw something sparkling in mangas, they write "pika pika" beside it (something like "vroom vroom" when a car goes by) And that's why Pikachu is called, well, Pikachu :-D

(Thanks to Youness for this interesting bit of information :-P)

And here are a few tips on how to draw Pikachu, for any budding artists out there ;-)


Oh yeah, I managed to move the photo! (why didn't I think of doing this before? :-/)

The sun rises over INSA

The title says it all, I took this from my window one morning.

Nice, eh?

Just 2 photos I took on my way back from Nice the other day. I didn't have my camera out, so I borrowed my friend's, and she just sent them to me. We can even see the rocks underwater...nice, huh?

riddle

I'm subscribed to a newsletter that gives us a riddle in each issue, but usually the riddles are too weird to solve, but I managed to solve this one, and I think it's really not bad. Here you go:

What do the following things have in common?

1) Car brakes
2) Mouse
3) Door hinge
4) Swing
5) Old Gate

The answer's further below.



















They squeak! :-D

Okay, here's the "official" answer:
They all make the sound squeak:
car brakes when they are old;
a mouse's sound;
a door hinge when it needs some lubricant;
a swing when in motion;
an old gate being opened and closed.

I don't have the time to write much now, but I just came across this page and it's hilarious :-D

Do read the next post (don't leave a message after the beep) as well ;-)

By the way, does anyone know who's Kenny Sia? I know I've heard the name before, but what exactly does he do?
