can u believe it. there are 12 definitions to this word. i just checked it online (powers of the internet) i don't even need my oxford old trusty one.and seriously, some words just doesn't make any sense when you explained it in dictionary style.

yeah the definition's kinda small but this blog is never meant as a tool to teach english language! my tuition days are over!

kinda. i still teach maths though. you want me to draw a unit model for you?

so anyway.

we all know it is earned. but the other party has got to give it too! its like a work contract. i earn it and you give me my due.
freaking simple right?

its amazing how two professionals don't understand the word. so probably for the decades that they lived on earth NOBODY told them what the word means.

so for the benefit of future generations, please let us all ponder about this marvellous word.
please do not be an asshole to someone else.

i have also thought about the reasons why some people (namely the two sunshiny cupcakes.) don't understand the only term and condition.

1) i have underestimated their stinginess. seriously.
2) my karma is really bad.
3) they are stretching my patience to the fullest so that i can be better prepared for the working life.
4) maybe God wants to teach me the word too.
5) i can officially be thin now cos i lose my appetite when i am near/thinking/hearing about them.


actually it doesn't really matter anymore. i just don't have to think about it. and it doesn't affect me. in fact, my feelings for them have changed. from dislike to disgust and indifference. like i don't really care about you but can you please get out of my sight.

and besides when i get really pissed i just spit at their towels in the bathroom amongst other things.

heh heh heh. no amount of vitamins gonna save you on that one, suckers.
