clocky

Posted by saba on May 12th, 2006 — Posted in Random moments

what a neat concept… an alarm clock that runs away and hides from you if you don’t get up and switch it off in time!  It apparently started as a uni project “to reinterpret the common alarm clock into something that is not stressful and obnoxious but amusing and better” and got the attention of the media. 

haha… I’m just imagining someone in a fale Samoa chasing after the alarm clock with a salu trying to shut it up

The Old Poodle

Posted by saba on May 11th, 2006 — Posted in Random moments

 A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.
 
 One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that she’s lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with the intention of having lunch.
 
 The old poodle thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep doo doo now!”  Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on the bones with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?”Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the  trees.  ”Whew!”, says the leopard, “That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!”
 
 Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
 
 The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here,  monkey,  hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that  conniving  canine!”
 
 Now, the old poodle sees the  leopard coming with the monkey on his back  and thinks, “What am I  going to do now?”, but instead of running,  the  dog sits  down with her back to her attackers, pretending she hasn’t  seen  them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old  poodle  says: “Where’s that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!”
 
Moral of this story..
 
Don’t mess with old farts…

annual blood drive

Posted by saba on May 8th, 2006 — Posted in Friends

Today I went to the health center on the lure of having free cookies, chocolate & soda.  It was all a guise I tell you!  I had to part with 400mils of blood to get anything! But it was worth it, I got a sticker.  I heard that approximately 50 staff also fell for the same scam.
