i talk to my wife, one second

the russell peters thing is losing me friends. i keep doing it and people get irritated. haha... of course they don't just cut ties because of that. things need to be exaggerated so as to bring the idea across. i had been doing the 'confucius say...' thing last week. this week, it's 'dom lah, seng seng dong gou wa'.
last week, when kaori crashed my lecture, there were 2 ladies standing in front of the lecture theatre. one wearing all white (our lecturer), another wearing all black (someone i don't know). then kaori pointed to their direction and asked, 'is she your lecturer?'.
i whispered, 'the one in white'.
she was like 'what?!'
i repeated, 'in white, that lady in white'
she was shocked, 'your wife?!'
well, imagine me having a south korean wife with a phd lecturing me, not even halfway to a bachelor degree. then guang and i were saying, imagine that she's really my wife, if someone asks me something like, 'what does this mean? i don't understand what she's saying.' i'd probably go, 'hold on one second, i talk to my wife, one second...' then i'll shout across the theatre, 'dom lah! seng seng dong gou wa!'
so we learnt that adjuncts are unnecessary stuff, or extra info. what does it mean when people say, 'she's an adjunct professor'?
i tried helping sensei do some msaccess database with asp stuff for her library records but apparently, her web host server is running on linux - chance is it's without chiliasp - and her pc's running winxp home edition, which means no iis. of course there are tips to work things around but 'at your own risk' so i better not risk their pc, or lose my reputation.
2 more days of work before i officially stop working. it was a short stint but, i've learnt quite a number of things that work didn't teach me and guang, has been searching for jobs in vain. cool it man... just wait for the nobel peace price. you can survive without it anyway. =)
